We had a surprise opportunity to go to the beach this weekend, near Southport NC. I have the weird preference to sling my hammock under the house, between the clotheslines, instead of sleeping indoors. Half camping? I use a big rubbermaid box as my "suitcase" and put my shoes on it overnight... It was cold at night, but an underquilt and reflecting bubble insulation in the hammock, with an inflatable mattress on top of my down sleeping bag, kept me cozy.

The White House points to a
seven-month snapshot
showing low inflation,
but economists say prices are closer to 3 percent.
The shutdown delays fresh data.
Most experts agree inflation has picked up in recent months,
in part because of Trump’s tariffs.
Economists expect more tariff-driven price increases in the months to come.

Trump says inflation is dead. Most data says: Not quite.
The White House says inflation is low and cool. Virtually every alternative calculation paints a less rosy picture.

Accent-Invariant Automatic Speech Recognition via Saliency-Driven Spectrogram Masking
Pre-trained transformer-based models have significantly advanced automatic speech recognition (ASR), yet they remain sensitive to accent and dialectal variations, resulting in elevated word error rates (WER) in linguistically diverse languages such as English and Persian. To address this challenge, we propose an accent-invariant ASR framework that integrates accent and dialect classification into the recognition pipeline. Our approach involves training a spectrogram-based classifier to capture …

Quantum spin Hall effect in III-V semiconductors at elevated temperatures: advancing topological electronics
The quantum spin Hall effect (QSHE), a hallmark of topological insulators, enables dissipationless, spin-polarized edge transport and has been predicted in various two-dimensional materials. However, challenges such as limited scalability, low-temperature operation, and the lack of robust electronic transport have hindered practical implementations. Here, we demonstrate the QSHE in an InAs/GaInSb/InAs trilayer quantum well structure operating at elevated temperatures. This platform meets key cr…

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) enable autonomous mobile agents to operate smartphone user interfaces, yet vulnerabilities to UI-level attacks remain critically understudied.

A novel spatial distribution method for wind farm parameterizations based on the Gaussian function
Wind farm parameterizations are crucial for quantifying the wind-farm atmosphere interaction, where wind turbines are typically modeled as elevated momentum sinks and sources of turbulence kinetic energy (TKE). These quantities must be properly distributed to the mesoscale grid. Existing parameterizations use the single-column method. However, this method can easily lead to the errors of the spatial distribution of the sink and source, thereby impacting the accuracy of mesoscale flow simulation…

We map emission-line morphology, excitation, and kinematics of the warm ionized gas using [N II]/H$α$, [S II]/H$α$, and [O III]/H$β$. Relative to z$\sim$0 galaxies at fixed stellar mass, our sources show systematically lower [N II]/H$α$ and [S II]/H$α$ and elevated [O III]/H$β$, c…

Despite competitive efficiency compared to Si solar cells and relevant stability at near room temperatures the rapid degradation at elevated temperatures remains the critical obstacle for exploitation of perovskite photovoltaics. In this work, a 4-(pyridin-4-yl)triphenylamine (TPA-Py) with pyridine anchor group was employed for inter-grain bulk modification of double-cation CsCH(NH2)2PbI3 perovskite absorbers to enhance thermal stability. Through coordination and dipole-dipole interactions, nit…

Developing a Sequential Deep Learning Pipeline to Model Alaskan Permafrost Thaw Under Climate Change
Changing climate conditions threaten the natural permafrost thaw-freeze cycle, leading to year-round soil temperatures above 0°C. In Alaska, the warming of the topmost permafrost layer, known as the active layer, signals elevated greenhouse gas release due to high carbon storage. Accurate soil temperature prediction is therefore essential for risk mitigation and stability assessment; however, many existing approaches overlook the numerous factors driving soil thermal dynamics.

Understanding the interplay of collagen and myocyte adaptation in cardiac volume overload: a multi-constituent growth and remodeling framework
Hearts subjected to volume overload (VO) are prone to detrimental anatomical and functional changes in response to elevated mechanical stretches, ultimately leading to heart failure. Experimental findings increasingly emphasize that organ-scale changes following VO cannot be explained by myocyte growth alone, as traditionally proposed in the literature. Collagen degradation, in particular, has been associated with left ventricular adaptation in both acute and chronic stages of VO. These hypothe…

The Accretion Disk Size Problem in AGN Disk Reverberation Mapping is an Obscuration Effect: A Uniform AGN Sample Study with Swift
In the past decade, Swift has performed several AGN high-cadence reverberation mapping campaigns, and generally found that the UV/optical interband lags are $\sim$3 times longer than predicted for a standard thin disk, thus coined "the accretion disk size problem". Here we present a systematic sample of Swift-monitored AGN. In this analysis, we confirm the accretion disk size problem, but find that the lag excess occurs only in the subset of obscured AGN, which show a significantly elevated mea…

Iron(II) monoxide (FeO) is thermodynamically stable in the halite (wüstite) structure only at elevated temperatures in a typically non-stoichiometric, Fe-deficient, Fe$_{1-z}$O form that tends to phase separate and/or transform into metallic $α$-Fe and magnetite Fe$_3$O$_4$ at ambient conditions.
