Democracy for DAOs: An Empirical Study of Decentralized Governance and Dynamic (Case Study Internet Computer SNS Ecosystem)
Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) rely on governance mechanism without centralized leadership. This paper presents an empirical study of user behavior in governance for a variety of DAOs, ranging from DeFi to gaming, using the Internet Computer Protocol DAO framework called SNS (Service Nervous System). To analyse user engagement, we measure participation rates and frequency of proposals submission and voter approval rates. We evaluate decision duration times to determine DAO agilit…

Michigan State University professor Josh Cowen announced Thursday that he is running for one of the battleground state’s most competitive congressional districts,
joining a crowded field of Democrats seeking to challenge Republican Rep. Tom Barrett.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Cowen said federal worker layoffs and cuts to research funding and Medicaid inspired him to run for the Lansing-area seat that Barrett flipped in 2024.
“What it really means in our daily…

Michigan State professor Josh Cowen announces run for US Rep. Tom Barrett's seat
A third Democrat has announced a bid to run against Michigan Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Barrett in one of the battleground state's most competitive districts. Josh Cowen is an education policy professor at Michigan State University known for his research on school voucher programs. He announced Thursday that he is running for the state's 7th Congressional District that encompasses the capital city of Lansing and surrounding rural areas. Barrett flipped the district in 2024, winning by 3.7 points …

Toward a Global Regime for Compute Governance: Building the Pause Button
As AI capabilities rapidly advance, the risk of catastrophic harm from large-scale training runs is growing. Yet the compute infrastructure that enables such development remains largely unregulated. This paper proposes a concrete framework for a global "Compute Pause Button": a governance system designed to prevent dangerously powerful AI systems from being trained by restricting access to computational resources. We identify three key intervention points -- technical, traceability, and regulat…

Highly efficient coherent amplification of zero-field spin waves in YIG nano-waveguides
Transmission and processing of information at the nanoscale using spin waves and their quanta - magnons, offers numerous advantages and opportunities that make it a promising next-generation technology for integrated electronics. The main challenges that still need to be addressed to ensure high competitiveness of magnonic devices include finding ways to efficiently amplify spin waves in nanostructures and developing nanocircuits that can operate without the need for an external bias magnetic f…

DynaSearcher: Dynamic Knowledge Graph Augmented Search Agent via Multi-Reward Reinforcement Learning
Multi-step agentic retrieval systems based on large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance in complex information search tasks. However, these systems still face significant challenges in practical applications, particularly in generating factually inconsistent intermediate queries and inefficient search trajectories, which can lead to reasoning deviations or redundant computations. To address these issues, we propose DynaSearcher, an innovative search agent enhanced by…
