Nintendo Has Something to Sell You
The marketing campaigns for the Switch 2 and its previous video game consoles provide a window into the company’s business strategy.

Eddeep: Fast eddy-current distortion correction for diffusion MRI with deep learning
Modern diffusion MRI sequences commonly acquire a large number of volumes with diffusion sensitization gradients of differing strengths or directions. Such sequences rely on echo-planar imaging (EPI) to achieve reasonable scan duration. However, EPI is vulnerable to off-resonance effects, leading to tissue susceptibility and eddy-current induced distortions. The latter is particularly problematic because it causes misalignment between volumes, disrupting downstream modelling and analysis. The e…

ROGRAG: A Robustly Optimized GraphRAG Framework
Large language models (LLMs) commonly struggle with specialized or emerging topics which are rarely seen in the training corpus. Graph-based retrieval-augmented generation (GraphRAG) addresses this by structuring domain knowledge as a graph for dynamic retrieval. However, existing pipelines involve complex engineering workflows, making it difficult to isolate the impact of individual components. It is also challenging to evaluate the retrieval effectiveness due to the overlap between the pretra…

The affirmative answer to Singer's conjecture on the algebraic transfer of rank four
In recent decades, the structure of the mod-2 cohomology of the Steenrod ring $\mathscr A$ has become a major subject of study in the field of Algebraic Topology. One of the earliest attempts to study this cohomology through the use of modular representations of the general linear groups was the groundbreaking work [Math. Z. 202 (1989), 493-523] by W.M. Singer. In that work, Singer introduced a homomorphism, commonly referred to as the "algebraic transfer," which maps from the coinvariants of a…

Iterative Neural Rollback Chase-Pyndiah Decoding
Iterative decoding is essential in modern communication systems, especially optical communications, where error-correcting codes such as turbo product codes (TPC) and staircase codes are widely employed. A key factor in achieving high error correction performance is the use of soft-decision decoding for component codes. However, implementing optimal maximum a posteriori (MAP) probability decoding for commonly used component codes, such as BCH and Polar codes, is computationally prohibitive. Ins…

Viele Menschen verstehen #Warnungen wie „#Hitzeindex“ oder „#Hitzewarnung“ falsch. Das zeigt eine US-Studie.
Fast die Hälfte hält den Hitzeindex für die reine

Bridging the Gap between National Weather Service Heat Terminology and Public Understanding
Abstract Clearly communicating heat warning information to the public is an important way to reduce heat mortality and morbidity. However, heat communication interventions from the National Weather Service commonly include technical and scientific terms, otherwise known as jargon. These terms, such as heat advisory or heat index, may not be understood by the public. Given the importance of message understanding in protective action decision-making, the purpose of this study is to assess how the…

Highly Variable Magnetic Pressure-Driven YSO Jets in the Polar Cavity from Toroidal Fields Generated by Inner Disk Accretion
Jets and outflows are commonly observed in young stellar objects (YSOs), yet their origins remain debated. Using 3D non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of a circumstellar disk threaded by a large-scale open poloidal magnetic field, we identify three components in the disk-driven outflow: (1) a fast, collimated jet, (2) a less collimated, slower laminar disk wind, and (3) a magneto-rotational instability (MRI)-active turbulent disk wind that separates the former two. At high altitude…

Causal Inference with Outcomes Truncated by Death and Missing Not at Random
In clinical trials, principal stratification analysis is commonly employed to address the issue of truncation by death, where a subject dies before the outcome can be measured. However, in practice, many survivor outcomes may remain uncollected or be missing not at random, posing a challenge to standard principal stratification analyses. In this paper, we explore the identification, estimation, and bounds of the average treatment effect within a subpopulation of individuals who would potentiall…
