the chair of his Council of Economic Advisers,

to temporarily fill the seat on the Federal Reserve Board that was vacated last week by the unexpected resignation of one of its governors, Adriana D. Kugler.
If confirmed by the Senate, Mr. Miran will assume a term that expires Jan. 31.

Hedge fund billionaire
Ken Griffin has warned that Trump’s pressure on the Fed and dismissal of officials
risk eroding U.S. institutional credibility and driving up long-term borrowing costs.
He cautioned that once confidence is lost
—as seen in past crises from Nixon’s Fed battles to Liz Truss’s meltdown in the U.K.
—it is costly to rebuild.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Virtual Liver Biopsy Using Radiomics Analysis for the Assessment of Chronic Liver Disease

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Virtual Liver Biopsy Using Radiomics Analysis for the Assessment of Chronic Liver Disease
Objectives: The role of advanced diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in chronic liver disease (CLD) has not been fully studied. Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a progressive deterioration of liver functions, caused by one or more etiology. This study was aimed to investigate whether radiomics features extracted from individual or combined magnetic resonance imaging sequences, such as T1-weighted, T2-weighted images, or quantitative maps from chemical shift encoded, diffusion-weighted imaging, can e…

Curiosity-Driven Co-Development of Action and Language in Robots Through Self-Exploration
Human infants acquire language and action co-developmentally, achieving remarkable generalization capabilities from only a minimal number of learning examples. In contrast, recent large language models require exposure to billions of training tokens to achieve such generalization. What mechanisms underlie such efficient developmental learning in humans? This study addresses this question through simulation experiments in which robots learn to perform various actions corresponding to imperative …

A Real-Time Framework for Intermediate Map Construction and Kinematically Feasible Off-Road Planning Without OSM

A Real-Time Framework for Intermediate Map Construction and Kinematically Feasible Off-Road Planning Without OSM
Off-road environments present unique challenges for autonomous navigation due to their complex and unstructured nature. Traditional global path-planning methods, which typically aim to minimize path length and travel time, perform poorly on large-scale maps and fail to account for critical factors such as real-time performance, kinematic feasibility, and memory efficiency. This paper introduces a novel global path-planning method specifically designed for off-road environments, addressing these…

Quantum simulation of carbon capture in periodic metal-organic frameworks
Carbon capture is vital for decarbonizing heavy industries such as steel and chemicals. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with their high surface area and structural tunability, are promising materials for CO2 capture. This study focuses on Fe-MOF-74, a magnetic Mott insulator with exposed metal sites that enhance CO2 adsorption. Its strongly correlated electronic structure challenges standard DFT methods, which often yield inconsistent predictions. We initially benchmark adsorption energies usi…

1-they don’t seem to have deadlines. A culture based on having no deadlines goes against every project management principles
