Quakers apply to intervene in Judicial Review of the proscription of Palestine Action
Quakers in Britain has applied to intervene in the judicial review of the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, saying the ban has undermined their freedom of religion.

Undersea cable cuts in the Red Sea disrupted internet access in parts of Asia and the Middle East, experts said Sunday,
though it wasn’t immediately clear what caused the incident.
There has been concern about the cables being targeted in a Red Sea campaign by Yemen’s Houthi rebels,
which the rebels describe as an effort to pressure Israel to end its war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
But the Houthis have denied attacking the lines in the past.

Red Sea cables are cut, disrupting internet in Asia and the Mideast
Undersea cable cuts in the Red Sea have disrupted internet access in parts of Asia and the Middle East. Experts say the disruption began early Sunday, but the cause remains unclear. There are concerns about possible targeting by Yemen's Houthi rebels, though they have denied cutting cables in the past. Microsoft announced that the Middle East may face increased latency. NetBlocks reported degraded connectivity in countries like India and Pakistan. The affected cables are managed by Tata Communi…

A multi-layered embedded intrusion detection framework for programmable logic controllers
Industrial control system (ICS) operations use trusted endpoints like human machine interfaces (HMIs) and workstations to relay commands to programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Because most PLCs lack layered defenses, compromise of a trusted endpoint can drive unsafe actuator commands and risk safety-critical operation. This research presents an embedded intrusion detection system that runs inside the controller and uses header-level telemetry to detect and respond to network attacks. The sys…

Interleaving Reasoning for Better Text-to-Image Generation
Unified multimodal understanding and generation models recently have achieve significant improvement in image generation capability, yet a large gap remains in instruction following and detail preservation compared to systems that tightly couple comprehension with generation such as GPT-4o. Motivated by recent advances in interleaving reasoning, we explore whether such reasoning can further improve Text-to-Image (T2I) generation. We introduce Interleaving Reasoning Generation (IRG), a framework…

The first track feels like a Forza Horizon material (in a good way). I like the Emily Pilbeam spin of the show (Tom Robinson was great of course). I am so relieved BBC kept at least this show out in the open. I know there is no free lunch, but cutting the access of the outside world to so much BBC content was an absolute cultural-spread disaster, imo.

Push and Pull: Elastic Interaction Between Pressurized Spherical Cavities in Nonlinear Elastic Media
Elastic interaction of pressurized spherical cavities embedded in a three-dimensional hyperelastic medium is computationally analyzed. Using finite element analysis across several positive and negative pressure scenarios, we calculate the system's potential energy and configurational driving force for neo-Hookean, Mooney-Rivlin, and Arruda-Boyce material models. Our results show that while the interaction is always attractive for negative pressures, a non-monotonic energy landscape emerges for …

MadNCL: A GPU Implementation of Algorithm NCL for Large-Scale, Degenerate Nonlinear Programs
We present a GPU implementation of Algorithm NCL, an augmented Lagrangian method for solving large-scale and degenerate nonlinear programs. Although interior-point methods and sequential quadratic programming are widely used for solving nonlinear programs, the augmented Lagrangian method is known to offer superior robustness against constraint degeneracies and can rapidly detect infeasibility. We introduce several enhancements to Algorithm NCL, including fusion of the inner and outer loops and …
