It was National Voter Registration Day,
and Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows was on her way to a small liberal arts college
for a voter registration event.
That’s when she learned the US Department of Justice
was suing her over how she manages Maine’s voter registrant list.
While the DOJ appearing as the official plaintiff was new,

—access to Maine’s complete, unredacted voter roll file

High levels of short-chain PFAS found in blood of residents living near chemical facility
In a new study appearing in Environmental Science and Technology, researchers found high levels of ultrashort-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in blood samples taken from Wilmington, N.C. residents between 2010 and 2016. Two ultrashort-chain PFAS—perfluoromethoxyacetic acid (PFMOAA) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)—were detected at high levels in almost every sample.

Cross-Platform Narrative Prediction: Leveraging Platform-Invariant Discourse Networks
Online narratives spread unevenly across platforms, with content emerging on one site often appearing on others, hours, days or weeks later. Existing cross-platform information diffusion models often treat platforms as isolated systems, disregarding cross-platform activity that might make these patterns more predictable. In this work, we frame cross-platform prediction as a network proximity problem: rather than tracking individual users across platforms or relying on brittle signals like share…

Fine dissipative properties of Euler solutions with measure first derivatives
We study fine properties of bounded weak solutions to the incompressible Euler equations whose first derivatives, or only some combinations of them, are Radon measures. As consequences we obtain elementary proofs of the local energy conservation for solutions in BV and BD, without relying on the freedom in choosing the convolution kernel appearing in the approximation of the dissipation. The argument heavily exploits the form of the Euler nonlinearity and it does not apply to the linear transpo…

Limit cycles and invariant algebraic curves

Limit cycles and invariant algebraic curves
We give lower bounds in terms of~$n,$ for the number of limit cycles of polynomial vector fields of degree~$n,$ having any prescribed invariant algebraic curve. By applying them when the ovals of this curve are also algebraic limit cycles we obtain a new recurrent property for the Hilbert numbers. Finally, we apply our results to two important families of models: Kolmogorov systems and a general family of systems appearing in Game Theory.

The Age-Structured Chemostat with Substrate Dynamics as a Control System

arXiv:2511.09963v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In this work we study an age-structured chemostat model with a renewal boundary condition and a coupled substrate equation. The model is nonlinear and consists of a hyperbolic partial differential equation and an ordinary differential equation with nonlinear, nonlocal terms appearing both in the ordinary differential equation and the boundary condition. Both differential equations contain a non-negative control input, while the states of the model are required to be positive. Under an appropriate weak solution framework, we determine the state space and the input space for this model. We prove global existence and uniqueness of solutions for all admissible initial conditions and all allowable control inputs. To this purpose we employ a combination of Banach's fixed-point theorem with implicit solution formulas and useful solution estimates. Finally, we show that the age-structured chemostat model gives a well-defined control system on a metric space.

Metric Sobolev spaces II: dual energies and divergence measures
This is the second of two works concerning the Sobolev calculus on metric measure spaces and its applications. In this work, we focus on several approaches to vector calculus in the non-smooth setting of complete and separable metric spaces equipped with a boundedly-finite Borel measure. More precisely, we study different notions of (co)vector fields and derivations appearing in the literature, as well as their mutual relation. We also carry forward a thorough investigation of gradients, diverg…

Inefficient dust production in a massive, metal-rich galaxy at $z=7.13$ uncovered by JWST and ALMA
Recent observations have revealed a remarkably rapid buildup of cosmic dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) of high redshift galaxies, with complex dust compositions and large abundances already appearing at redshifts $z>6$. Here we present a comprehensive, joint analysis of observations taken with the {\em James Webb Space Telescope} (JWST) and the Atacama Large Millimetre/sub-millimetre Array (ALMA) of the highly magnified, dusty `normal' galaxy, A1689-zD1 at $z=7.13$.
