Donald Trump on Wednesday further inserted himself into the drama around the sale of Warner Bros. Discovery,
saying he believes CNN
— one of several cable networks owned by WBD
— should be sold as part of any deal.
While the president doesn't have the power to unilaterally block a merger he doesn't like
— unless there are serious national security concerns pertaining to foreign investments
— his comments do have the ability to sway the decisions of…

Trump says CNN "should be sold" as part of WBD deal
The president said it was "imperative" that CNN gets a new owner in any transaction.

Painlevé-Gullstrand coordinates for Kiselev black holes
We investigate the implications provided by the modified Painlevé-Gullstrand coordinates in the context of quintessence for the Kiselev black hole. In this regard, we set up a fully static line element in terms of lapse and shift functions, apart from including the deformation parameter signaling deviation from the standard Painlevé-Gullstrand metric. We address two specific issues pertaining to the problems of radiation and dust furnished by the corresponding barotropic index parameter and s…

Label-Guided Imputation via Forest-Based Proximities for Improved Time Series Classification
Missing data is a common problem in time series data. Most methods for imputation ignore label information pertaining to the time series even if that information exists. In this paper, we provide a framework for missing data imputation in the context of time series classification, where each time series is associated with a categorical label. We define a means of imputing missing values conditional upon labels, the method being guided by powerful, existing supervised models designed for high ac…

A Bernstein polynomial approach for the estimation of cumulative distribution functions in the presence of missing data
We study nonparametric estimation of univariate cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) pertaining to data missing at random. The proposed estimators smooth the inverse probability weighted (IPW) empirical CDF with the Bernstein operator, yielding monotone, $[0,1]$-valued curves that automatically adapt to bounded supports. We analyze two versions: a pseudo estimator that uses known propensities and a feasible estimator that uses propensities estimated nonparametrically from discrete auxiliary…

World's First Authenticated Satellite Pseudorange from Orbit
Cryptographic Ranging Authentication is here! We present initial results on the Pulsar authenticated ranging service broadcast from space with Pulsar-0 utilizing a recording taken at Xona headquarters in Burlingame, CA. No assumptions pertaining to the ownership or leakage of encryption keys are required. This work discusses the Pulsar watermark design and security analysis. We derive the Pulsar watermark's probabilities of missed detection and false alarm, and we discuss the required receiver …

On the distribution of charges in a conducting needle
We study the distribution of point charges in a straight conductive needle and the electric field created by them. Starting from the bead model with $n$ point charges on the needle, we show the existence and uniqueness of an equilibrium state. We also study the differential system pertaining to the system and show that the system of point charges does not converge towards an equilibrium state. In order to move from a discrete to a continuous model we increase the number of the point charges and…
