Furloughed workers not guaranteed back pay after shutdown, OMB claims
Furloughed federal workers are not entitled to automatic back pay after the government shutdown ends,
the Trump administration’s budget office claimed in a new draft memo
ratcheting up tensions in Washington over the week-long closure.

The top lawyer at the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
argued in the draft that the law Congress passed and President Donald Trump signed in 2…

Turbulence Closure in RANS and Flow Inference around a Cylinder using PINNs and Sparse Experimental Data
Traditional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) closures, based on the Boussinesq eddy viscosity hypothesis and calibrated on canonical flows, often yield inaccurate predictions of both mean flow and turbulence statistics. Here, we consider flow past a circular cylinder over a range of Reynolds numbers (3,900-100,000) and Mach numbers (0-0.3), encompassing incompressible and weakly compressible regimes, with the goal of improving predictions of mean velocity and Reynolds stresses. To this en…

a step closer to completion, with one more hostage’s remains still to be returned.
The subsequent phases under a U.S.-drafted, U.N.-backed plan for Gaza remain deeply uncertain.
There has been no word on how provisions for Hamas’ disarmament will be carried out,
or how a planned international administration and security force will be established.
