'Active travel' study identifies pathways for designing walking- and cycling-friendly cities
A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals the transformative potential of walking- and cycling-friendly policies in cities around the world. Conducted by researchers from UCLA and Google, the study analyzed travel data from more than 11,500 cities across 121 countries, making it the most comprehensive global assessment to date of active transportation, or the potential for walking or biking.

Colombia cuts deforestation by one-third as government targets Amazon and illegal mining
Colombia’s environment ministry reported a 33% drop in deforestation during the first quarter of 2025, citing coordinated enforcement efforts and strengthened partnerships with local communities.Steven Grattan reports for The Associated Press.In short:Colombia’s deforestation fell from 40,219 hectar...

Trace duality and additive complementary pairs of additive cyclic codes over finite chain rings
This paper investigates the algebraic structure of additive complementary pairs of cyclic codes over a finite commutative ring. We demonstrate that for every additive complementary pair of additive cyclic codes, both constituent codes are free modules. Moreover, we present a necessary and sufficient condition for a pair of additive cyclic codes over a finite commutative ring to form an additive complementary pair. Finally, we construct a complementary pair of additive cyclic codes over a finite…

HiKO: A Hierarchical Framework for Beyond-Second-Order KO Codes
This paper introduces HiKO (Hierarchical Kronecker Operation), a novel framework for training high-rate neural error-correcting codes that enables KO codes to outperform Reed-Muller codes beyond second order. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to extend KO codes beyond second order. While conventional KO codes show promising results for low-rate regimes ($r < 2$), they degrade at higher rates -- a critical limitation for practical deployment. Our framework incorporates three key innova…
