It's dark. On the other side of an intersection, several cars are lined up at the traffic lights; their headlights are brilliant but diffuse, and reflect on the dark pavement, which has distinct ripples in the near field. Behind the cars, miscellaneous white signs. The traffic light is visible, and is green; also there is a white "walk" glyph. In the top right, a street light, also diffuse. In the top center, a curtained window glows. To the left, a H&Z market, a convenience store, glows white …

Subjective Evaluation of Low Distortion Coded Light Fields with View Synthesis
Light field technology is a powerful imaging method that captures both the intensity and direction of light rays in a scene, enabling the reconstruction of 3D information and supporting a range of unique applications. However, light fields produce vast amounts of data, making efficient compression essential for their practical use. View synthesis plays a key role in light field technology by enabling the generation of new views, yet its interaction with compression has not been fully explored. …

Beyond Spherical geometry: Unraveling complex features of objects orbiting around stars from its transit light curve using deep learning
Characterizing the geometry of an object orbiting around a star from its transit light curve is a powerful tool to uncover various complex phenomena. This problem is inherently ill-posed, since similar or identical light curves can be produced by multiple different shapes. In this study, we investigate the extent to which the features of a shape can be embedded in a transit light curve. We generate a library of two-dimensional random shapes and simulate their transit light curves with light cur…

Nestled deep within a lush, verdant forest, this narrow trail invites hikers into a world of tranquil solitude and natural beauty. The path, a winding ribbon of earthy brown, is gently bordered by moss-covered rocks and boulders, their vibrant green hues suggesting centuries of undisturbed growth. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy above, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow across the forest floor, where fallen leaves and pine needles create a soft, rustling carpet.
Moss blankets the forest floor and climbs up the sides of ancient trees, its vivid green hues contrasting beautifully with the darker bark and scattered brown leaves. Ferns, delicate and intricate, emerge from the undergrowth, their fronds swaying gently in the light forest breeze. A small, trickling stream crosses the path, its rocky bed glistening with moisture, adding a soothing soundtrack to the tranquil scene.

Relatively blue light extends beyond a spiral disk from a radius of ~5 kpc out to ~14 kpc from the center of NGC 1275. Analyses of its spectrum and broadband colors reveal a population of young stars having sub-solar metallicities superposed on a dominant population of old stars having super-solar metallicities. The young stars have a characteristic age of ~160 Myr and may span ages of a few hundred Myr, similar to that of stars comprising the central spiral disk, and a total mass about one-thi…

Light-induced nonlinear Edelstein effect under ferroaxial ordering
Ferroaxial ordering, a spontaneous rotational distortion of the atomic arrangement, brings about a cross-product-type spin--orbit coupling (SOC) manifested as an electric toroidal dipole. We propose the light-induced nonlinear Edelstein effect (NLEE) -- a second-order optical response in which a static magnetization is induced by a time-dependent electric field -- as a promising probe of ferroaxial ordering. First, we elucidate the relationship between the NLEE tensor and the electric toroidal …

The collapse of two US firms, First Brands and Tricolor,
has shone a light on private credit and its growing influence in the global economy.
The failures have led to ballooning losses at traditional banks,
and, coupled with worries about the health of US regional banks,
have raised concerns about weak lending standards and potential threats from an opaque corner of the so-called "shadow banking" sector

Turn up the light: Radiative efficiency of protostars at birth
Early stages of stellar birth comprise of a two-step process involving the formation of two hydrostatic cores. The second step of gravitational collapse sets the radiative efficiency and accretion rate of the young protostar. These two parameters, of prime importance for protostellar evolution, dictate the luminosities and thus play a key role in deciphering the current discrepancy between observational surveys and theoretical models. In this letter, we provide quantitative estimates on the evo…

Shedding Light on Dark Matter at the LHC with Machine Learning
We investigate a WIMP dark matter (DM) candidate in the form of a singlino-dominated lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) within the $Z_3$-symmetric Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. This framework gives rise to regions of parameter space where DM is obtained via co-annihilation with nearby higgsino-like electroweakinos and DM direct detection~signals are suppressed, the so-called ``blind spots". On the other hand, collider signatures remain promising due to enhanced radiative de…

Geodesics and Light Deflection in Schwarzschild-like Spacetime from Cosmology-Inspired Modified Gravity
We investigate cosmology-driven modifications to Schwarzschild-like black hole spacetimes and analyze their impact on photon propagation, gravitational lensing, and shadow observation. The gravitational deflection angle is computed using the Rindler-Ishak method, which incorporates finite-distance corrections and provides a consistent framework for non-asym-ptotically flat spacetimes. The effective potential for null geodesics exhibits a single unstable maximum corresponding to the photon spher…

My plans to hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing were derailed by two days of rain and high winds, so we made a plan B: the Tama lakes track, which has somewhat less exposure but still gets up over 1400m. We’re lucky we didn’t try Tongariro given how tough the conditions were at Tama lakes – driving snow and winds on the ridge. But we were rewarded with good views and improving weather on the return trip. #hiking

Indirect CW for teen pregnancy, rape, death.
Just finished "Girls Like Us" by Randi Pink. Pink has a knack for telling stories that capture the grim but also vibrant nuances of African-American history. I previously read "Under the Heron's Light" which has more elements of magical realism and connects more directly to the history of enslavement; "Girls Like Us" is more historical fiction, with a bridge at the end to contemporary times (circa 2019, when the book was published). It tells the story of a disparate group of mostly-Black teens who are pregnant in 1972, and shows a range of different outcomes as varied as the backstories of the different girls. Rather than just separate vignettes, the girls' stories are women together into a single plot, and Pink is a expert at pulling us in to deeply contemplate all the complexities of these girls' lives, showing rather than telling us truths about the politics of teen pregnancy and abortion, and how even though the choices involved don't have simple answers, taking those choices out of the hands of the people they most intimately affect is cruel and deadly.

Fluorescence-detected Wavepacket Interferometry reveals time-varying Exciton Relaxation Pathways in single Light-Harvesting Complexes
Photosynthesis relies on efficient energy relaxation within the excited-state manifold of pigment-protein complexes. Since the protein scaffold is rather flexible, the resulting energetic and structural disorder gives rise to a complex excited-state energy level structure that fluctuates on all time scales. Although the impact of such fluctuations on relaxation processes is known, the precise exciton states involved in relaxation as well as the nature of the vibrational modes driving relaxation…

including data measured by their sensors, such as temperature, humidity, ambient light, and motion.
“I was under the impression that the Google connection would be severed along with the remote functionality,
however that connection is not severed, and instead is a one-way street,” Kociemba says.

Good morning! First snow around, a day of workshop ahead, #commuting by train again.
Yesterday I had to go by car - I admit that I found it quite annoying to be forced to concentrate on the traffic. But I also attended a #meetup which brought a good insight.
Anyways, enjoy your day!

A serene winter evening unfolds under a deep blue sky, where a solitary streetlamp casts a warm, golden glow over a snow-dusted park. The light from the lamp illuminates the immediate area, creating a striking contrast between the bright foreground and the shadowy, snow-covered field that stretches out into the distance. The snow, lightly blanketing the ground, adds a sense of calm and stillness to the scene. In the background, bare trees stand tall, their silhouettes stark against the twiligh…

Sonnenberg ridge entirely living up to its name...
(Made the most of the last warm weather yesterday afternoon to hike/climb along this beautiful long ridge with many cliffs, roped sections, some cute chamois and hardly any people — temporarily felt like late August, yet in two days supposedly snow starting...)
#SilentSunday

A narrow path along a very narrow ridge of light gray rocks, steep slopes dropping off on either side. The south-facing right side is mostly forested, illuminated by the warm afternoon sun. Blue sky with some streaky clouds.
Steep slopes with yellow brown dried grasses leading down into the valley between some cliffs of light gray rocks and forest. Everything bathed in warm golden light. The valley floor is visible with dense forest, a section of the Linder river and tall mountains rising up on the other side of the valley. Hazy sky.
The silhouette of a standalone rock needle and some nearby trees along the ridge. The sun and some mountains are partially visible from behind the rock. Beautiful red/brown grasses.
(Almost) white, vertical cliffs seen through the forest, illuminated by the late afternoon sun. A small section of blue sky above.

Claude Sonnet 4.0 describes the image as: "This image captures a scene from the British science fiction television series "Battlestar Galactica" or similar space-themed production from the late 1970s or early 1980s. The setting appears to be a futuristic spacecraft interior, characterized by angular architectural elements, including a distinctive hexagonal light panel in the background and metallic structural beams. In the foreground, an actor sits on a curved, cream-colored modernist sofa, le…

Every time I pull this one out of the drawer and then use the light, I suddenly remember I did the light spreader mod and I smile a little bit extra. #CasioCult

Hey guys! two more #schwarzwald #photos! And I found them a perfect fit for #FootpathFriday as well.
This day's hike was so diverse. narrow trails, ferns and moss, a lake, some heat…

A mystical and enchanting forest path, framed by a fallen tree trunk creating a natural archway. The lush, green foliage and moss-covered rocks add to the sense of being in an untouched, fairy-tale woodland. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy, casting dappled light on the forest floor and highlighting the vibrant greenery and tranquil beauty of this hidden forest retreat.
A serene and inviting forest trail winding gently uphill, surrounded by tall, slender trees and lush green ferns. The path is bathed in soft sunlight filtering through the canopy, creating a peaceful and magical atmosphere. The moss-covered ground and vibrant foliage enhance the sense of tranquility and connection with nature, making it an idyllic setting for a refreshing hike.
