Balancing Performance and Efficiency in Zero-shot Robotic Navigation
We present an optimization study of the Vision-Language Frontier Maps (VLFM) applied to the Object Goal Navigation task in robotics. Our work evaluates the efficiency and performance of various vision-language models, object detectors, segmentation models, and multi-modal comprehension and Visual Question Answering modules. Using the $\textit{val-mini}$ and $\textit{val}$ splits of Habitat-Matterport 3D dataset, we conduct experiments on a desktop with limited VRAM. We propose a solution that a…

Unveiling the Structure of Hidden-Bottom Strange Pentaquarks via Magnetic Moments
Motivated by the discovery of hidden-charm strange pentaquarks, we conduct a systematic study of the magnetic moments of the hidden-bottom strange pentaquarks in molecular picture. We calculate magnetic moments of hidden-bottom strange pentaquarks with strangeness-1 and 2. Magnetic moment gives valuable information about the inner structure and shape of the hadron. The obtained results may be helpful to determine the inner structure of these new yet hypothetical states.

Logistic growth in seasonally changing environments
We consider a parameter dependent periodic-logistic problem with a logistic term involving a degeneracy that replicates time dependent refuges in the habitat of a population. Working under no or very minimal assumptions on the boundary regularity of the domain we show the existence of a time-periodic solution which bifurcates with respect to the parameter and show their stability. We show that under suitable assumptions that the periodic solution blows up on part of the domain and remains finit…

Harsh penalties and gag orders:
Lawmakers discuss plans for long-shot constitutional convention
Two Ohio lawmakers are threatening felony charges if delegates take up outside issues in a hypothetical future convention
This week state lawmakers introduced a measure setting the guidelines for a hypothetical future constitutional convention.
The obscure process laid out in Article V of the U.S. Constitution has been embraced in recent years by activists to impose congre…

Harsh penalties and gag orders: Lawmakers discuss plans for long-shot constitutional convention • Ohio Capital Journal
Two Ohio lawmakers want to call a constitutional convention, and to avoid a so-called "runaway" convention, they're proposing state felony charges if delegates exceed their authority.

Hypothetically, what would be the best way to get lipstick off a pillow?

Doofus: "I'd never let my teenage child date someone X years old!!!!"
Common Sense: "LOL! Hypothetical parents pretending they have hypothetical control over hypothetical sons and daughters who are young adults aged 14-19! (pro-tip: peeps do stuff. you don't have control)"

Lichen-Mediated Self-Growing Construc8on Materials for Habitat Outfitting on Mars
As its next step in space exploration, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) revealed plans to establish a permanent human presence on Mars. To build the centrally located, monolithic habitat, NASA has a history of experimenting with lightweight inflatable habitats to reduce mass and volume. However, the physical structures used to outfit the inflatable must generally be launched by a second spacecraft. This study proposes that, rather than shipping prefabricated outfitting e…

@… I don’t think you’re wrong at all. It seems like this hypothetical isn’t much different from :not(:defined) { visibility: hidden; }?
However, I’d say that if the PE techniques are limiting—why and how can we improve those? I’d love to iterate towards something better rather than bet on something that has no guarantee.
If we’re just going to render blo…
