Ideology, institutions, and economic growth: panel evidence 1995 2022
Does it matter whether a government is "left wing" or "right wing" for economic growth? Using a panel of 113 countries (1995 2022), we combine: (i) the economic ideology of the executive branch (V Dem), (ii) the disaggregated institutional quality of the economic freedom index (Heritage), separating a core institutional block (HN: property rights, government integrity, judicial effectiveness) from a block of liberalization policies (HL: trade/financial openness, regulatory efficiency, size of g…

Deep Learning-Based Cross-Anatomy CT Synthesis Using Adapted nnResU-Net with Anatomical Feature Prioritized Loss
We present a patch-based 3D nnUNet adaptation for MR to CT and CBCT to CT image translation using the multicenter SynthRAD2025 dataset, covering head and neck (HN), thorax (TH), and abdomen (AB) regions. Our approach leverages two main network configurations: a standard UNet and a residual UNet, both adapted from nnUNet for image synthesis. The Anatomical Feature-Prioritized (AFP) loss was introduced, which compares multilayer features extracted from a compact segmentation network trained on To…

Where’s Firefox going next? You tell us.
Hey Firefox friends! We’re trying something new and would love your help. Features like tab groups, vertical tabs, profiles, new tab wallpapers, PWAs, and taskbar pinning weren’t just ideas – they were direct responses to what you told us you wanted. Your input has helped shape where Firefox is tod...

Criticality of a stochastic modern Hopfield network model with exponential interaction function
The Hopfield network (HN) is a classical model of associative memory whose dynamics are closely related to the Ising spin system with 2-body interactions. Stored patterns are encoded as minima of an energy function shaped by a Hebbian learning rule, and retrieval corresponds to convergence towards these minima. Modern Hopfield Networks (MHNs) introduce p-body interactions among neurons with p greater than 2 and, more recently, also exponential interaction functions, which significantly improve …

Construction of Young modules and filtration multiplicities for Brauer algebras of type $C$
In this paper, we construct the permutation modules and Young modules for Brauer algebras of type $C$ by extending the representation theory of the group algebra of hyperoctahedral groups. Additionally, we develop a stratifying system for Brauer algebras of type $C$, thereby extending the work of Hemmer-Nakano in \cite{HN} on Hecke algebras. This framework allows us to determine when the multiplicities of cell modules in any filtration are well-defined. As a result, we prove that if the charact…

Contour-informed inter-patient deformable registration of Head-and-Neck patients
Background and Purpose: Voxel-based analysis (VBA) helps to identify dose-sensitive regions by aligning individual dose distributions within a common coordinate system (CCS). Accurate deformable image registration (DIR) is essential for addressing anatomical variability across patients. To improve both global and region-specific alignment, we enhanced our in-house DIR algorithm (CPT-DIR) with contour-informed regularisations. We tested its performance for head-and-neck (HN) CT images. Materia…
