The United Nations General Assembly will convene its September session in Geneva instead of New York,
following the United States’ refusal to grant entry visas to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and dozens of senior Palestinian officials
President Abbas is expected to address the Assembly in Geneva,
where he will call for international protection, recognition of Palestinian sovereignty,
and accountability for war crimes.
The Geneva session is expected to amp…

CAD model of the #tricycle subframe. The chain ring is very nearly as big as the front wheel (80 teeth!). It drives an epicyclic gearbox mounted in the nose of the vehicle, which also has a disc brake. The epicyclic will drive a secondary chain via a sprocket mounted to the left hand spoke flange, but this is not yet shown. There will be no ratchet on the secondary chain, so the disk brake on the…

Sensor placement for sparse force reconstruction
The present study proposes a Gram-matrix-based sensor placement strategy for sparse force reconstruction in the frequency domain. A modal decomposition of the Gram matrix reveals that its structure is dominated by a few modes near the target frequency, and that each modal contribution reflects the spatial correlation of the corresponding mode shape. This suggests that placing sensors near nodal regions where spatial correlation is low can reduce coherence in the frequency response function (FRF…

Bayesian Multivariate Sparse Functional PCA
Functional Principal Components Analysis (FPCA) provides a parsimonious, semi-parametric model for multivariate, sparsely-observed functional data. Frequentist FPCA approaches estimate principal components (PCs) from the data, then condition on these estimates in subsequent analyses. As an alternative, we propose a fully Bayesian inferential framework for multivariate, sparse functional data (MSFAST) which explicitly models the PCs and incorporates their uncertainty. MSFAST builds upon the FAST…

The Space Coronagraph Optical Bench (SCoOB): 7. design, fabrication, and first light for a self-coherent camera
The 2020 Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics tasked future space observatories with the goal of detecting and characterizing a large sample of Earth-like exoplanets. To achieve this, these observatories will require coronagraphs and wavefront control algorithms in order to achieve $10^{-10}$ or better starlight suppression. The Space Coronagraph Optical Bench (SCoOB) is a vacuum compatible testbed at the University of Arizona which aims to advance and mature starlight suppression techn…

Balaton Borders: Data Ceramics for Ecological Reflection
Balaton Borders translates ecological data from Lake Balaton into ceramic tableware that represents human impact on the landscape, from reedbed reduction to shoreline modification and land erosion. Designed for performative dining, the pieces turn shared meals into multisensory encounters where food and data ceramics spark collective reflection on ecological disruption.

Worrying new simulations show that a solar storm on par with the infamous Carrington Event
could potentially wipe out every single satellite orbiting our planet,
leaving us in a precarious and expensive predicament.
And experts say such a powerful solar storm is inevitable and will hit our planet sooner or later.
On Sept. 1, 1859, British astronomer Richard Carrington observed a brilliant flash of light coming from a gigantic sunspot that was about the same size as J…

The next solar superstorm could wipe out 'all our satellites,' new simulations reveal
New ESA simulations suggest that a solar storm on par with the 1859 Carrington Event could wreak havoc on Earth-orbiting satellites — and it is a question of "when," not "if" this will happen, experts say.
