If the US designates domestic anti-fascist groups to be part of an international terrorist group (as the President stated yesterday), that may need to be incorporated into UK legislation for its ongoing intelligence co-operation?

ICE raids in Chicago could start as early as Friday, but are expected to begin Saturday, Democratic Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker warned. 
The Department of Homeland Security asked the Pentagon for access to Naval Station Great Lakes
- the largest military base in Illinois
- to base an operation, The Washington Post reported. 
The request said that around 250 federal agents and 140 vehicles would utilize the base. 
National Guard troops could also be sent in t…

«Trans Jugendliche brauchen Schutz nicht vor sich selbst, sondern vor rechter Symbolpolitik», halten die ZH als Reaktion auf Natalie Ricklis Kontroverse in einem Communiqué fest. «Was als Sorge um Minderjährige verkauft wird, ist in Wahrheit ein Angriff auf die körperliche Selbstbestimmung von trans Menschen», so Silas Muggli, Co-Präsident Juso. Sie fordern Rickli auf, den Zugang zur Gesundheitsversorgung für trans Menschen zu sichern – auch für Jugendliche.

Reducing critical current for spin-transfer-torque-induced magnetization reversal in CPP-GMR devices: effect of low damping and enhanced spin scattering asymmetry in $Co_2FeGa_{0.5}Ge_{0.5}$ Heusler alloy
Spin-transfer torque (STT) in magnetoresistance devices has enabled key applications such as STT-magnetoresistive random access memory, spin torque oscillators, and energy-assisted magnetic recording. In the device structures, where a free layer (FL) magnetization is manipulated by spin injection from a spin injection layer (SIL), the critical current density required for operation is directly proportional to the damping ($α$) constant of FL and inversely proportional to the STT efficiency, wh…

A co-operational bivariant theory derived from cohomology operations
A co-operational bivariant theory is a ``dual" version of Fulton--MacPherson's operational bivaiant theory. For a given contravariant functor we define a generalized cohomology operation for continuous maps having sections, using cohomology operations. This generalized cohomology operation is related to Quillen's Steenrod power operation. Using this generalized cohomology operation, we define \emph{a co-operational bivariant theory derived from cohomology operations}, which is a subtheory o…

Interference Analysis and Successive Interference Cancellation for Multistatic OFDM-based ISAC Systems
Multistatic integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) systems, which use distributed transmitters and receivers, offer enhanced spatial coverage and sensing accuracy compared to stand-alone ISAC configurations. However, these systems face challenges due to interference between co-existing ISAC nodes, especially during simultaneous operation. In this paper, we analyze the impact of this mutual interference arising from the co-existence in a multistatic ISAC scenario, where a mono- and a bista…

SuperMag: Vision-based Tactile Data Guided High-resolution Tactile Shape Reconstruction for Magnetic Tactile Sensors
Magnetic-based tactile sensors (MBTS) combine the advantages of compact design and high-frequency operation but suffer from limited spatial resolution due to their sparse taxel arrays. This paper proposes SuperMag, a tactile shape reconstruction method that addresses this limitation by leveraging high-resolution vision-based tactile sensor (VBTS) data to supervise MBTS super-resolution. Co-designed, open-source VBTS and MBTS with identical contact modules enable synchronized data collection of …

Energy Management for Renewable-Colocated Artificial Intelligence Data Centers
We develop an energy management system (EMS) for artificial intelligence (AI) data centers with colocated renewable generation. Under a profit-maximizing framework, the EMS of renewable-colocated data center (RCDC) co-optimizes AI workload scheduling, on-site renewable utilization, and electricity market participation. Within both wholesale and retail market participation models, the economic benefit of the RCDC operation is maximized. Empirical evaluations using real-world traces of electricit…
