This is not surprising, especially since WordPress is very popular. However, the fact that it affects this scope should generally draw our attention to it on the web.

Open burning of plastic is an escalating public health threat, say experts
When Tiwonge Mzumara-Gawa was a child, her mother sent her to market with a basket woven from grasses. “But now we don’t do that,” she says, because plastic has taken over most utilitarian purposes in today’s Malawi. “You go and you get a plastic carrier, and they’re usually not reusable plastics.” In many Malawi communities, […]

The trace of field equations for higher-derivative gravity and an equality associating the Lagrangian density with a divergence term
We figure out the explicit expression for the trace of the field equations associated to higher derivative theories of gravity endowed with Lagrangians depending upon the metric and its Riemann tensor, together with arbitrary order covariant derivatives of the Riemann tensor. Then an equality linking the Lagrangian density with the divergence of a vector field is proposed under a constraint on the Lagrangian density. As a significant application, we further obtain an equality to establish the r…

Towards Relational Contextual Equality Saturation
Equality saturation is a powerful technique for program optimization. Contextual equality saturation extends this to support rewrite rules that are conditioned on where a term appears in an expression. Existing work has brought contextual reasoning to egg; in this paper, we share our ongoing work to extend this to relational equality saturation in egglog. We summarize the existing approaches to contextual equality saturation, outline its main applications, and identify key challenges in combini…
