Decadal upgrade strategy for KAGRA toward post-O5 gravitational-wave astronomy
The KAGRA Collaboration has investigated a ten-year upgrade strategy for the KAGRA gravitational wave detector, considering a total of 14 upgrade options that vary in mirror mass, quantum noise reduction techniques, and the quality of cryogenic suspensions. We evaluated the scientific potential of these configurations with a focus on key targets such as parameter estimation of compact binary coalescences, binary neutron star post-merger signals, and continuous gravitational waves. Rather than a…

Man in need of kidney transplant finds 1-in-100,000 match: His wife
The odds of Jim and Mirna Irish having compatible kidneys was a long shot — roughly one in 100,000. But faced with a potential years-long backlog on the transplant waiting list, the San Diego couple set out to beat those odds.

GWTC-4.0: Constraints on the Cosmic Expansion Rate and Modified Gravitational-wave Propagation
We analyze data from 142 of the 218 gravitational-wave (GW) sources in the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration (LVK) Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-4.0) to estimate the Hubble constant $H_0$ jointly with the population properties of merging compact binaries. We measure the luminosity distance and redshifted masses of GW sources directly; in contrast, we infer GW source redshifts statistically through i) location of features in the compact object mass spectrum and merger rate evolu…

A DataOps Toolbox Enabling Continuous Semantic Integration of Devices for Edge-Cloud AI Applications
The implementation of AI-based applications in complex environments often requires the collaboration of several devices spanning from edge to cloud. Identifying the required devices and configuring them to collaborate is a challenge relevant to different scenarios, like industrial shopfloors, road infrastructures, and healthcare therapies. We discuss the design and implementation of a DataOps toolbox leveraging Semantic Web technologies and a low-code mechanism to address heterogeneous data int…

Light Baryon Spectroscopy at BESIII
The BESIII collaboration has collected large data samples in the center-of-mass energy range from 1.84 to 4.95 GeV. These data provide a low-background environment and suitable phase space for studying the spectroscopy of light baryons. In this article, we review the achievements of baryon spectroscopy studies by the BESIII collaboration. Most of the results are obtained through the partial wave analysis (PWA) method, with spin and parity well determined.
