Florida wildlife officials gave preliminary approval for the first black bear hunt since one 10 years ago that was halted early after more than 300 bears were killed in only two days.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission voted 4-1 at a meeting in Ocala in favor of a bear hunt in December and annually into the future,

Florida gives preliminary approval to controversial black bear hunt amid strong opposition
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has given preliminary approval for a black bear hunt for December and into the future, which could eventually allow the use of up to six dogs to corner the bears and use of bowhunting. The commission voted 4-1 Wednesday on the proposal, which would be the first bear hunt since 2015 when more than 300 bears were killed in only two days. Hunt supporters say managing bear populations is key to preventing dangerous encounters with humans. Oppone…

Designing for Learning with Generative AI is a Wicked Problem: An Illustrative Longitudinal Qualitative Case Series
Students continue their education when they feel their learning is meaningful and relevant for their future careers. Computing educators now face the challenge of preparing students for careers increasingly shaped by generative AI (GenAI) with the goals of supporting their learning, motivation, ethics, and career development. Our longitudinal qualitative study of students in a GenAI-integrated creative media course shows how this is a "wicked" problem: progress on one goal can then impede progr…

A Spectroscopic Hunt for Post-Red Supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud II: Turbulent Line Broadening in the Spectra of LMC Yellow Supergiants
Massive stars in the Hertzsprung gap are a mixed population of objects in short-lived evolutionary phases: yellow supergiants (YSGs) evolving towards the red supergiant (RSG) phase, partially-stripped post-RSGs, and other, rarer outcomes of stellar evolution. Studies of sufficiently large samples of these objects can constrain massive star structure and evolution during these poorly-understood phases. As part of our ongoing program searching for post-RSGs, we characterized the spectral line pro…

Bounds on PBH fraction in a stimulated axion/ALP decay scenario
In this work, we show that stimulated decay of axions or axion-like particles (ALP) in black hole superradiance is an efficient way to find and hunt primordial black holes (PBH). When de Broglie's wavelength of the axion/ ALP is comparable or larger than the black hole horizon radius, a large population of them accumulates in the surroundings of the black hole. When these axions or ALPs couple to photons, the bosonic cloud decays into radiation that contributes to the X-ray, visible light, and …

The completeness of the open cluster census towards the Galactic anticentre
Open clusters have long been used as tracers of Galactic structure. However, without a selection function to describe the completeness of the cluster census, it is difficult to quantitatively interpret their distribution. We create a method to empirically determine the selection function of a Galactic cluster catalogue. We test it by investigating the completeness of the cluster census in the outer Milky Way, where old and young clusters exhibit different spatial distributions. We develop a met…

Treasure Hunt: Real-time Targeting of the Long Tail using Training-Time Markers
One of the most profound challenges of modern machine learning is performing well on the long-tail of rare and underrepresented features. Large general-purpose models are trained for many tasks, but work best on high-frequency use cases. After training, it is hard to adapt a model to perform well on specific use cases underrepresented in the training corpus. Relying on prompt engineering or few-shot examples to maximize the output quality on a particular test case can be frustrating, as models …

Logarithmic Quot spaces, boundedness, and K-tropicalizations
Logarithmic Hilbert and Quot spaces are generalizations of their traditional versions adapted to study pairs and degenerations. The logarithmic Quot spaces of $(X,D)$ parameterize "algebraically transverse" (logarithmically flat) quotient sheaves on degenerations of $X$. We prove boundedness and deduce properness of logarithmic Quot spaces. The results complete the basic foundations of logarithmic Quot spaces and specialize to work of Li-Wu and Maulik and the second author in special cases. Bou…

Biased rate estimates in bump-hunt searches
The cleanest way to discover a new particle is generally the "bump-hunt" methodology: looking for a localised excess in a mass (or related) distribution. However, if the mass of the particle being discovered is not known the procedure of quoting the most significant excess seen is "greedy", and random fluctuations from the background can be merged with the signal. This means that an observed 3σ evidence probably has the rate over-estimated by of order 10% and the mass uncertainty underestimate…

How many stars form in compact clusters in the local Milky Way?
Two main models coexist for the environment in which stars form. The clustered model stipulates that the bulk of star formation occurs within dense embedded clusters, but only a minority of them survive the residual gas expulsion phase caused by massive stellar feedback unbinding the clusters. On the other hand, the hierarchical model predicts that star formation happens at a range of scales and densities, where open clusters (OCs) only emerge from the densest regions.

Where Things Stand
Policy bill: After releasing a 940-page version of their sprawling domestic policy bill overnight, Senate Republicans on Saturday were seeking the votes to pass it, a key step in advancing President Trump’s agenda. They cut deals with holdouts in their ranks that they hoped would be enough to speed the bill through the chamber as early as this weekend.

Final cost: If Senate Republicans begin debate on the sweeping bill on Saturday, they will do so wit…

Potential absence of observed $π^2$ linear-chain structures in $^{14}$O via $^{10}$C($α,α$) resonant scattering
Background: The preference for light nuclear systems to coagulate into $α$-particle clusters has been well-studied. The possibility of a linear chain configuration of $α$-particles would allow for a new way to study this phenomenon. Purpose: A rotational band of states in $^{14}$C has been claimed showing a $π^2$ linear chain structure. The mirror system, $^{14}$O, has been studied here to examine how this linear chain structure is affected by replacing the valence neutrons with protons. Met…

Teaching Critical Visualization: A Field Report
Critical Visualization is gaining popularity and academic focus, yet relatively few academic courses have been offered to support students in this complex area. This experience report describes a recent experimental course on the topic, exploring both what the topic could be as well as an experimental content structure (namely as scavenger hunt). Generally the course was successful, achieving the learning objectives of developing critical thinking skills, improving communication about complex i…

Developing a Mixed-Methods Pipeline for Community-Oriented Digitization of Kwak'wala Legacy Texts
Kwak'wala is an Indigenous language spoken in British Columbia, with a rich legacy of published documentation spanning more than a century, and an active community of speakers, teachers, and learners engaged in language revitalization. Over 11 volumes of the earliest texts created during the collaboration between Franz Boas and George Hunt have been scanned but remain unreadable by machines. Complete digitization through optical character recognition has the potential to facilitate transliterat…

The Interstellar Medium in I Zw 18 seen with JWST/MIRI: III. Spatially Resolved Three Ionization State Oxygen Abundance
We present observations of the nearby extremely metal-poor galaxy I Zw 18 using the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI) and the JWST Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) Integral Field Spectrographs (IFS). From optical and mid-IR oxygen emission lines, we measured direct-method abundances for three ionic states of oxygen, including O$^{3+}$/H$^+$. In contrast to previous studies of I Zw 18, the high spatial resolution afforded by KCWI and MIRI/MRS revealed chemical inhomogeneities on 60 pc scales in the fo…

Here’s what Florida state Sen. Ileana Garcia, a Republican and founder of Latinas for Trump, had to say about ICE’s raids:
This is not what we voted for…
I understand the importance of deporting criminal aliens,
but what we are witnessing are arbitrary measures to hunt down people who are complying with their immigration hearings
— in many cases, with credible fear of persecution claims,
all driven by a Miller-like desire to satisfy a self-fabricated deportation…

The Interstellar Medium in IZw18 seen with JWST/MIRI: I. Highly Ionized Gas
We present JWST/MIRI spectra from the Medium-Resolution Spectrometer of IZw18, a nearby dwarf galaxy with a metallicity of $\sim$3% Solar. Its proximity enables a detailed study of highly ionized gas that can be interpreted in the context of newly discovered high-redshift dwarf galaxies. We derive aperture spectra centered on eleven regions of interest; the spectra show very low extinction, A_V $\lesssim 0.1$, consistent with optical determinations. The gas is highly ionized; we have detected 1…

Formation of the Two-Armed Phase Spiral from Multiple External Perturbations
Recent studies using the Gaia DR3 data have revealed a two-armed phase spiral in the $Z-V_Z$ phase space in the inner disk. In this study, we present new features of the two-armed phase spiral revealed by the Gaia Data and a new mechanism to explain such features with multiple external perturbations. By segmenting the Gaia DR3 RVS catalog based on $J_ϕ$ (or $R_{g}$) and $θ_ϕ$, we confirm the existence of the clear two-armed phase spiral in the inner disk. Moreover, we identify a different tw…
