"It’s also a smart reply to the recent 'abundance' arguments made by many in the party’s establishment. Yes, we need to build out transit and increase housing development, but the public sector should do those things. A strong defense of the public sector against privatization, and a willingness to push for its expansion instead of opting for 'market-based solutions,' is an essential part of what it means to be a democratic socialist"

The Democratic Socialist Core to Zohran Mamdani’s Campaign
At a time when much of the left is in retreat or ducking for cover, Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign is championing democratic socialist politics and raising expectations.

Nucleation feedback can drive establishment and maintenance of biased microtubule polarity in neurites
The microtubule cytoskeleton is comprised of dynamic, polarized filaments that facilitate transport within the cell. Polarized microtubule arrays are key to facilitating cargo transport in long cells such as neurons. Microtubules also undergo dynamic instability, where the plus and minus ends of the filaments switch between growth and shrinking phases, leading to frequent microtubule turnover. Although microtubules often completely disassemble and new filaments nucleate, microtubule arrays have…

Deep Learning-based mmWave MIMO Channel Estimation using sub-6 GHz Channel Information: CNN and UNet Approaches
Future wireless multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems will integrate both sub-6 GHz and millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency bands to meet the growing demands for high data rates. MIMO link establishment typically requires accurate channel estimation, which is particularly challenging at mmWave frequencies due to the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this paper, we propose two novel deep learning-based methods for estimating mmWave MIMO channels by leveraging out-of-band information fro…

On the Law of the Iterated Logarithm for m-dependent stationary random variables under sub-linear expectations
This paper explores the Law of the Iterated Logarithm (LIL) for $m$-dependent sequences under the framework of sub-linear expectations. We first extend existing LIL results to sequences of independent, non-identically distributed random variables under sub-linear expectations. This extension serves as a crucial intermediary step, facilitating the subsequent establishment of the LIL for $m$-dependent stationary sequences. On the other hand, we also establish necessary conditions for $m$-dependen…

Mirror Symmetry of Spencer-Hodge Decompositions in Constrained Geometric Systems
This paper systematically investigates the interaction mechanism between metric structures and mirror transformations in Spencer complexes of compatible pairs. Our core contribution is the establishment of mirror symmetry for Spencer-Hodge decomposition theory, solving the key technical problem of analyzing the behavior of metric geometry under sign transformations. Through precise operator difference analysis, we prove that the perturbation $\mathcal{R}^k = -2(-1)^k ω\otimes δ^λ_{\mathfrak{…

Establishment of global phase coherence in a highly disordered fractal MgO/MgB2 nanocomposite: Roles of interface, morphology and defect
Recently, we have reported that a highly disordered fractal MgO/MgB2 nanocomposite exhibits bulk-like superconducting properties with isotropic pinning, showing an excellent phase-coherent capability irrespective of the low volume fraction (~30 vol. %) of MgB2 [Uchino et al., Phys. Rev. B 101, 035146 (2020); Teramachi et al,, Phys. Rev. B 108, 155146 (2023)]. Hence, this nanocomposite provides a useful experimental system to investigate the relationship between the structural disorder and the e…

In my opinion, these threats are ignored or kicked down the road due to management pressure (“we can’t invest into ...”) combined with peer pressure (“… while everyone else is doing X”).

Party Ideologies and Political Polarization-Driven Conflicts: A Study of the Global South
Post-World War II armed conflicts have often been viewed with higher scrutiny in order to avoid a full-scale global war. This scrutiny has led to the establishment of determinants of war such as poverty, inequalities, literacy, and many more. There is a gap that exists in probing countries in the Global South for political party fragmentation and examining ideology-driven polarization's effect on armed conflicts. This paper fills this gap by asking the question: How does political identity-indu…

Evaluation methodology of Model Predictive Controllers for building's energy systems
Climate change poses a serious threat to the Earth's ecosystems, fueled primarily by escalating greenhouse gas emissions. Among the main contributors, the building sector stands out due to its significant energy demand. Addressing this challenge requires innovative techniques in the control of energy systems in buildings. This paper deals with the formulation of a methodology designed to evaluate the performance of these controllers. The evaluation process involves the establishment of a compre…

The quark-gluon plasma: diagnosis with thermal hadron production from the early history until detailed characterization at high energy colliders
In nuclear collisions at relativistic energies, matter is created which resembles closely the matter that filled all space until about 15 microseconds after the big bang. Here we summarize selected aspects of the research that led to the establishment of this new sub-field of physics and briefly describe its current `state of the art' with emphasis on matter creation through thermal particle production. In particular, we will focus on particle production at low transverse momentum and explain h…

Topological characterisation of a chaotic attractor with an additional branch generated from economic data
There are insights of chaotic properties in economic systems and data. To prove the existence of chaotic dynamics, the establishment of a deterministic model is mandatory. A global modelling tool (GPoM) is used to search for mathematical models of equations from economic data: unemployment, inflation and nominal exchange rate over 30 years. A system of three differential equations is chosen as a model, whose solution is a chaotic attractor in $\mathbb{R}^3$. The model extracted from the data is…

Good News For Progressive Views The Week Of 6/20-6/26
On Tuesday, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani shocked New York politics by defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for NYC mayor.

Zohran Mamdani’s apparent victory late Tuesday night represented a sharp rebuke of the Democratic Party establishment
It represented, he said, the ascendance of a new Democratic coalition, one that prioritized the needs of the working class over those of the elite.
“We have won because New Yorkers have stood up for a city they can afford,” he said.

In Joyful Speech, Mamdani Vows to Work for ‘Each and Every New Yorker’
A crowd in Queens celebrated the triumph of Zohran Mamdani, the presumptive winner of the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City.

“What’s happening in NYC is a loud message to those in the Dem establishment who still cling to old politics, recite focus-grouped talking points, and are too afraid to say what needs to be said.” It was a campaign that triangulated ground game, digital style and policy substance. Mamdani was a shoe leather candidate who put himself all over the city, talked to countless voters, projected optimism without sounding preachy and had thousands of volunteers knocking on doors.
