The Republican Majority on the Senate Banking Committee released a press release Friday confirming that they were intentionally eliminating
the “duplicative Office of Financial Research (OFR)”.
According to sources I’ve talked to in the Senate, Republican committee members have shown little concern with the elimination of the Office of Financial Research.
They also seem aware of the concerns over SOFR, because both their “one pager” and “section by section” documents clai…

The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” Eliminates the Office of Financial Research—Threatening the Stability of the Treasury Market
Early last week I started working on a piece on why the Federal Reserve didn’t step in during the Trump Tariff Financial Panic. The basic idea of that piece is simply that “repo rates”- the interest rate at which you can, in essence, borrow funds with treasury securities

Neural-operator element method: Efficient and scalable finite element method enabled by reusable neural operators
The finite element method (FEM) is a well-established numerical method for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). However, its mesh-based nature gives rise to substantial computational costs, especially for complex multiscale simulations. Emerging machine learning-based methods (e.g., neural operators) provide data-driven solutions to PDEs, yet they present challenges, including high training cost and low model reusability. Here, we propose the neural-operator element method (NOEM) by s…

Not a JS expert, but if you ignore `<dialog>` (via `.showModal()`) to roll your own modal, I feel a different selector for interactive elements is better than repeating `.filter()` (comment link):

A Primer on Focus Trapping | CSS-Tricks
Focus trapping is about managing focus within an element, such that focus always stays within it. The whole process sounds simple in theory, but it can quite difficult to build in practice, mostly because of the numerous parts to you got to manage.

Affine semigroups without consecutive small elements
An $\mathcal{A}$-semigroup is a numerical semigroup without consecutive small elements. This work generalizes this concept to finite-complement submonoids of an affine cone $\mathcal{C}$. We develop algorithmic procedures to compute all $\mathcal{A}$-semigroups with a given Frobenius element (denoted by $\mathcal{A}(f)$), and with fixed Frobenius element and multiplicity. Moreover, we analyze the $\mathcal{A}(f)$-systems of generators. Furthermore, we study $\mathcal{A}$-numerical semigroups wi…

Power Allocation and RIS Elements Optimisation for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces assisted RSMA
This paper proposes power allocation and the number of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) elements optimisation in a RIS-assisted rate splitting multiple access (RSMA) system. The optimised RIS-RSMA (ORIS-RSMA) method determines the optimal number of RIS elements and the power allocation factors for both common and private parts of a message. Additionally, it maximises the sum rate while ensuring that a target common rate is satisfied. The performance of the proposed ORIS-RSMA is compare…

On the semigroup of endomorphisms of the semigroup $\boldsymbol{B}_ω^{\mathscr{F}^2}$ with the two-element family $\mathscr{F}^2$ of inductive nonempty subsets of $ω$
We study the semigroup $\overline{\boldsymbol{End}}(\boldsymbol{B}_ω^{\mathscr{F}^2})$ of all endomorphisms of the bicyclic extension $\boldsymbol{B}_ω^{\mathscr{F}^2}$ with the two-element family $\mathscr{F}^2$ of inductive nonempty subsets of $ω$. The submonoid $\left\langle\varpi\right\rangle^1$ of $\overline{\boldsymbol{End}}(\boldsymbol{B}_ω^{\mathscr{F}^2})$ with the property that every element of the semigroup $\overline{\boldsymbol{End}}(\boldsymbol{B}_ω^{\mathscr{F}^2})$ has the …

The international courier DHL on Friday joined other European mail carriers that have put temporary restrictions on sending packages to the United States
-- because of Trump’s executive order that eliminates an exemption on duties on cheap imported goods.
The temporary halt by DHL’s German parcel service, and its domestic mail service, Deutsche Post, covers commercial shipments originating in Germany to consumers in the United States.
The company will continue to send privat…

Fearing Customs Chaos, DHL Joins Others in Suspending U.S. Shipments
The halt by one of the world’s largest couriers comes after President Trump eliminated an exemption on tariffs levied on imported goods valued under $800.

Conservative data-driven finite element formulation
This paper presents a new data-driven finite element framework derived with mixed finite element formulation. The standard approach to diffusion problems requires the solution of the mathematical equations that describe both the conservation law and the constitutive relations, where the latter is traditionally obtained after fitting experimental data to simplified material models. To exploit all available information and avoid bias in the material model, we follow a data-driven approach. While …
