q: what's your favorite sci-fi novel?
a: Tough question, because most of the ones I'm fond of, I read over a decade ago, and I'm not sure I'll still like them now. Some favorites that I've read or reread in recent years:
- A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge
- All Systems Red by Martha Wells
- Blindsight by Peter Watts
- Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
- Glasshouse by Charles Stross
- Lady of Mazes by Karl Schroeder

A Saturday thread:
Are you a fan of Charley Barsotti? I was always a huge fan--all the way back to Sally Bananas, but especially of the Pup--but I always loved his political cartoons, as well, & then, when I lived in Kansas City, we became friends. I woke up thinking about him today--I think I dreamed about him last night.

Trying out the "Intel One Mono" #font (I've used consolas until now). The curly braces are unexpected when you type them, but looking at a whole page of code they are not the eye sore I thought they'd be.

You guys know I'm not at all religious, but I still love this Barsotti cartoon w/ all my heart--it's one of my all-time faves. I hope the universe will let me reunite with my doggos in one way or another. I just hope we all get to be together again someday. #DogsOfMastodon

If you thought that as churches go, the Anglican church is perhaps one of the less crazy ones, consider this: They also declare people to be saints, but only one so far: King Charles I. Just let that sink in.
(And yes, I understand that there certainly must be lots of people in the Anglican church that don’t take his sainthood seriously.)

Optical spectroscopic and photometric classification of the X-ray transient EP240309a (EP J115415.8-501810) as an intermediate polar
We report on optical follow-up observations of an X-ray source initially detected by the Einstein Probe mission. Our investigations categorize the source as an intermediate polar, a class of magnetic cataclysmic variables, exhibiting an orbital period of 3.7614(4) hours and a white dwarf spin period of 3.97 minutes. The orbital period was identified through TESS observations, while our high-speed photometric data, obtained using the 1.9m and Lesedi 1.0m telescopes at the South African Astronomi…

I had the weirdest dream last night, in which a small part was Charles dying suddenly and, for some reason unexplained by the news channels, the crown passed to George, who was prancing about on the TV with Diana’s tiara on.
Nope, no idea either.

The minimal amount of research that I do each day occasionally uncovers a Canadian hero that should be more famous. Maud Leonora Menten, born March 20, 1879, was a Canadian physician and chemist. As a bio-medical and medical researcher, she made significant contributions to enzyme kinetics and histochemistry and published hundreds of research papers that advanced medical unde…

A Bayesian factor analysis model for high-dimensional microbiome count data
Dimension reduction techniques are among the most essential analytical tools in the analysis of high-dimensional data. Generalized principal component analysis (PCA) is an extension to standard PCA that has been widely used to identify low-dimensional features in high-dimensional discrete data, such as binary, multi-category and count data. For microbiome count data in particular, the multinomial PCA is a natural counterpart of the standard PCA. However, this technique fails to account for the …

An Allosteric Model for the Influence of $\text{H}^ $ and $\text{CO}_2$ on Oxygen-Hemoglobin Binding
Heming Huang, Charles S. Peskin
https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.17796

An Allosteric Model for the Influence of $\text{H}^+$ and $\text{CO}_2$ on Oxygen-Hemoglobin Binding
In the physiology of oxygen-hemoglobin binding, an important role is played by the influence of $\text{H}^+$ and $\text{CO}_2$ on the affinity of hemoglobin for $\text{O}_2$. Here we extend the allosteric model of hemoglobin to include these effects. We assume purely allosteric modulation, i.e., that the modulatory effects of $\text{H}^+$ and $\text{CO}_2$ on oxygen binding occur only because of their influence on the T $\leftrightarrow$ R transition, in which all four subunits of the hemoglobi…

Doubly robust estimation and inference for a log-concave counterfactual density

Doubly robust estimation and inference for a log-concave counterfactual density
We consider the problem of causal inference based on observational data (or the related missing data problem) with a binary or discrete treatment variable. In that context we study counterfactual density estimation, which provides more nuanced information than counterfactual mean estimation (i.e., the average treatment effect). We impose the shape-constraint of log-concavity (a unimodality constraint) on the counterfactual densities, and then develop doubly robust estimators of the log-concave …

Attosecond vortex pulse trains
The landscape of ultrafast structured light pulses has recently evolved driven by the capability of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) to up-convert orbital angular momentum (OAM) from the infrared to the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) spectral regime. Accordingly, HHG has been proven to produce EUV vortex pulses at the femtosecond timescale. Here we demonstrate the generation of attosecond vortex pulse trains, i.e. a succession of attosecond pulses with a helical wavefront, resulting from the syn…
