Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced sweeping leadership changes Thursday
as part of an effort to dramatically ramp up arrests of illegal migrants. 
The “leadership realignment” comes as Trump administration officials push for ICE to make
a “minimum” of 3,000 arrests per day
– up from the 1,800 per day quota the White House initially demanded in January. 
As part of the shake-up, Kenneth Genalo is out as the head of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Ope…

ICE shakes up agency with 'leadership realignment' in push for a 'minimum' of 3,000 migrant arrests per day 
As part of the shake-up, Kenneth Genalo is out as the head of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) division – the branch tasked with executing arrests and deportations.

Attractor learning for spatiotemporally chaotic dynamical systems using echo state networks with transfer learning
In this paper, we explore the predictive capabilities of echo state networks (ESNs) for the generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (gKS) equation, an archetypal nonlinear PDE that exhibits spatiotemporal chaos. We introduce a novel methodology that integrates ESNs with transfer learning, aiming to enhance predictive performance across various parameter regimes of the gKS model. Our research focuses on predicting changes in long-term statistical patterns of the gKS model that result from varying the d…

A Novel Cost-Effective MIMO Architecture with Ray Antenna Array for Enhanced Wireless Communication Performance
This paper proposes a novel multi-antenna architecture, termed ray antenna array (RAA), which practically enables flexible beamforming and also enhances wireless communication performance for high frequency systems in a cost-effective manner. RAA consists of a large number of inexpensive antenna elements and a few radio frequency (RF) chains. These antenna elements are arranged in a novel ray like structure, where each ray corresponds to one simple uniform linear array (sULA) with a carefully d…

Resonance Complexity Theory and the Architecture of Consciousness: A Field-Theoretic Model of Resonant Interference and Emergent Awareness
This paper introduces Resonance Complexity Theory (RCT), which proposes that consciousness emerges from stable interference patterns of oscillatory neural activity. These patterns, shaped by recursive feedback and constructive interference, must exceed critical thresholds in complexity, coherence, gain, and fractal dimensionality to give rise to conscious experience. The resulting spatiotemporal attractors encode subjective awareness as dynamic resonance structures distributed across the neural…

Nexus: An Omni-Perceptive And -Interactive Model for Language, Audio, And Vision
This work proposes an industry-level omni-modal large language model (LLM) pipeline that integrates auditory, visual, and linguistic modalities to overcome challenges such as limited tri-modal datasets, high computational costs, and complex feature alignments. Our pipeline consists of three main components: First, a modular framework enabling flexible configuration of various encoder-LLM-decoder architectures. Second, a lightweight training strategy that pre-trains audio-language alignment on t…

Variations of the Near-Surface Electric field measured at Aragats during Geomagnetic Storms
At least two mechanisms effectively transfer interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) disturbances into the atmosphere. First, the inflow of solar wind into the ionosphere at low latitudes significantly enhances the total vertical electron content, increasing atmospheric conductivity. Second, Forbush decreases (FD) reduce the cosmic ray flux by a few percent, lowering ionization levels at middle latitudes and decreasing conductivity. Changes in atmospheric conductivity affect the global electric cir…

Efficient Optimization Accelerator Framework for Multistate Ising Problems
Ising Machines are a prominent class of hardware architectures that aim to solve NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. These machines consist of a network of interacting binary spins/neurons that evolve to represent the optimum ground state energy solution. Generally, combinatorial problems are transformed into quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) form to harness the computational efficiency of these Ising machines. However, this transformation, especially for multi-state p…
