Towards NoahMP-AI: Enhancing Land Surface Model Prediction with Deep Learning
Accurate soil moisture prediction during extreme events remains a critical challenge for Earth system modeling, with profound implications for drought monitoring, flood forecasting, and climate adaptation strategies. While land surface models (LSMs) provide physically-based predictions, they exhibit systematic biases during extreme conditions when their parameterizations operate outside calibrated ranges. Here we present NoahMP-AI, a physics-guided deep learning framework that addresses this ch…

On the Upper Bounds for the Matrix Spectral Norm
We consider the problem of estimating the spectral norm of a matrix using only matrix-vector products. We propose a new Counterbalance estimator that provides upper bounds on the norm and derive probabilistic guarantees on its underestimation. Compared to standard approaches such as the power method, the proposed estimator produces significantly tighter upper bounds in both synthetic and real-world settings. Our method is especially effective for matrices with fast-decaying spectra, such as tho…

Neutrino Portal to Extra Dimensions: Unified Origin of Dark Radiation, Dark Matter, and Neutrino Decay
We propose a unified framework based on sterile neutrinos propagating in large extra dimensions (LED) and coupled to a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson (Majoron) arising from spontaneous lepton number violation. In this setup, the lightest Kaluza-Klein (KK) sterile neutrino serves as warm dark matter, higher KK modes decay invisibly producing a relativistic Majoron contributing to the effective number of neutrino species (Delta Neff), and active neutrinos undergo invisible decay. This model address…

Namibia observes first official Genocide Remembrance Day, marking the closure of German-run concentration camps in 1908.
This commemoration honors the victims of the Herero and Nama genocide, perpetrated by German colonial forces between 1904 and 1908. During this period, tens of thousands of Herero and Nama people were killed through mass executions, forced displacement, and starvation.
