Congressmember Salud Carbajal showed up to see first hand the ICE raid on  the Carpinteria Glasshouse cannabis greenhouse owned by Santa Barbara county grower Graham Farrar.
In an interview afterwards, Carbajal said there were 45-to-50 ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement)  and Homeland Security agents dressed up in military-style scrubs and armed with military-style rifles and weapons.
He saw no members of the National Guard, though it was a chaotic scene.
A former Ma…

Improving the Developer Experience with a Low-Code Process Modelling Language
Context: The OutSystems Platform is a development environment composed of several DSLs, used to specify, quickly build, and validate web and mobile applications. The DSLs allow users to model different perspectives such as interfaces and data models, define custom business logic and construct process models. Problem: The DSL for process modelling (Business Process Technology (BPT)), has a low adoption rate and is perceived as having usability problems hampering its adoption. This is problematic…

Spatially resolved H$α$ emission in B14-65666: compact starbursts, ionizing efficiency and gas kinematics in an advanced merger at the Epoch of Reionization
We present MIRI/JWST medium resolution spectroscopy (MRS) and imaging (MIRIM) of B14-65666, a Lyman-break and interacting galaxy at redshift $z$=7.15. We detect the H$α$ line emission in this system, revealing a spatially-resolved structure of the H$α$ emitting gas, which consists of two distinct galaxies, E and W, at a projected distance of 0.4". Galaxy E is very compact in the rest-frame UV, while W galaxy is more extended, showing a clumpy structure reminiscent of a tidal tail. The total H…

Fisher's approach to deformation of coactions
This paper explores a novel approach to the deformation of $C^*$-algebras via coactions of locally compact groups, emphasizing Fischer's construction in the context of maximal coactions. We establish a rigorous framework for understanding how deformations arise from group coactions, extending previous work by Bhowmick, Neshveyev, and Sangha. Using Landstad duality, we compare different deformation procedures, demonstrating their equivalence and efficiency in constructing twisted versions of giv…
