Putin kündigt Truppenstationierung an finnischer Grenze an
Der russische Präsident Wladimir Putin hält den NATO-Beitritt Finnlands und Schwedens für einen Fehler. "Das ist ein absolut sinnloser Schritt (für Finnland und Schweden) unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Wahrung der eigenen nationalen Interessen", sagt Putin in einem Interview mit der staatlichen russischen Nachrichtenagentur RIA und dem Staatsfernsehen Rossija-1. "Wir hatt…

Zeros of $L$-Functions in Low-Lying Intervals and de Branges spaces
We consider a variant of a problem first introduced by Hughes and Rudnick (2003) and generalized by Bernard (2015) concerning conditional bounds for small first zeros in a family of $L$-functions. Here we seek to estimate the size of the smallest intervals centered at a low-lying height for which we can guarantee the existence of a zero in a family of $L$-functions. This leads us to consider an extremal problem in analysis which we address by applying the framework of de Branges spaces, introdu…

The minimum weight of the code of intersecting lines in ${\rm PG}(3,q)$
We characterise the minimum weight codewords of the $p$-ary linear code of intersecting lines in ${\rm PG}(3,q)$, $q=p^h$, $q\geq19$, $p$ prime, $h\geq 1$. If $q$ is even, the minimum weight equals $q^3+q^2+q+1$. If $q$ is odd, the minimum weight equals $q^3+2q^2+q+1$. For $q$ even, we also characterise the codewords of second smallest weight.

MODIPHY: Multimodal Obscured Detection for IoT using PHantom Convolution-Enabled Faster YOLO
Low-light conditions and occluded scenarios impede object detection in real-world Internet of Things (IoT) applications like autonomous vehicles and security systems. While advanced machine learning models strive for accuracy, their computational demands clash with the limitations of resource-constrained devices, hampering real-time performance. In our current research, we tackle this challenge, by introducing "YOLO Phantom", one of the smallest YOLO models ever conceived. YOLO Phantom utilizes…

Impacto Distributivo Potencial de Reformas na Tributacao Indireta no Brasil: Simulacoes Baseadas na PEC 45/2019
This paper analyzes the redistributive impacts of indirect taxation reforms in Brazil inspired by PEC 45/2019, particularly in the version that led to EC 132/2023. Comparisons are made between the current system and the simulated reforms, considering the distribution of the tax burden among families in different income classes, as well as the impact on poverty and inequality indicators. The simulations are conducted based on the combination of effective tax rates that apply to goods and service…

Beyond Gait: Learning Knee Angle for Seamless Prosthesis Control in Multiple Scenarios
Deep learning models have become a powerful tool in knee angle estimation for lower limb prostheses, owing to their adaptability across various gait phases and locomotion modes. Current methods utilize Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLP), Long-Short Term Memory Networks (LSTM), and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), predominantly analyzing motion information from the thigh. Contrary to these approaches, our study introduces a holistic perspective by integrating whole-body movements as inputs. We pr…
