Cascade PBS cuts 12% of staff
The Seattle-based station said it will focus on local productions and end its long-form written journalism.

"Water Cremation" - also known as hydrolysis,
involves water, heat and an alkaline solution being applied to a body in a chamber similar to that used in cremation.
And while the current method of reducing a person’s remains to ashes requires enormously high temperatures,
those in favour of water cremation say it is far less energy intensive and therefore more environmentally friendly.

Scotland to be first part of UK to introduce water cremation
Changes to legislation have paved the way for a more environmentally friendly and ‘gentler’ option for body disposal

Hopf algebra maps taking chromatic symmetric functions to their graph complements
Cho and van Willigenburg (arXiv:1508.07670) and Alinaeifard, Wang, and van Willgenburg (arXiv:2010.00147) introduce multiplicative chromatic bases for the ring $Λ$ of symmetric functions, consisting of the chromatic symmetric functions (CSFs) of a sequence of connected graphs $G_1,G_2,\dots$ such that $G_n$ has total weight $n$, together with the CSFs of their disjoint unions. In arXiv:1707.04058, Tsujie introduces an alternative ring structure $\widetildeΛ$ on the vector space $Λ$ that make…

@… regarding your Java 25 CPU profiling work. Both in your articles as well as the JEP509 the current sub-sampling method doesn't mention Safepoints? Is that not a thing anymore for current profiling? I was always under the impression that except for async-profiler all other profiler needs threads to be in safepoints? Thx (Writing another German art…

Chromaticity of stellar activity in radial velocities : Anti-correlated families of lines on the M dwarf EV Lac with SPIRou and SOPHIE
Context. In the search for exoplanets using radial velocities (RV), stellar activity has become one of the main limiting factors for detectability. Fortunately, activity-induced RV signals are wavelength-dependent or chromatic, unlike planetary signals. This study exploits the broad spectral coverage provided by the combined use of SOPHIE and SPIRou velocimeters to investigate the chromatic nature of the activity signal of the highly active M dwarf EV Lac. Aims. We aim to understand the origi…

Role of Ward-Takahashi identity in an electron-phonon coupled system -- Revisiting phonon shift current
We study bulk photovoltaic effects in electron-phonon coupled systems. The conservation of current or gauge invariance, manifested as the Ward-Takahashi identity, plays an essential role in the analysis of the Feynman diagrams, and the leading order contribution to the phonon shift current is identified accordingly. The leading order contribution essentially arises from the electric polarization carried by optically excited phonons, where the shift current is generated due to a change of electr…

Folks, Ruaa is currently suffering from COVID and her family’s tent was buried under sand after a tent just 100m away from theirs was destroyed in Israel’s ongoing genocide.
Despite all that she spoke with us briefly today for Gaza Verified.
Please help her and her family if you can and please share this so others might also.
• Her fundraiser:

Project Bring Ruaa and Her Family to Safety
I'm helping my friend, Ruaa from gaza, raise funds to help her family survive.
