Justices need to own the consequences of their injunction ruling
The Supreme Court has curbed the power of lower court judges to block illegal presidential actions,
even as the sitting president tries to do things that are plainly unconstitutional.
Now they need to own the consequences of their ruling.
More than ever, they must be willing to act with speed and force when the president attempts to violate Americans’ rights.

The ruling inhibits federal distric…

Justices need to own the consequences of their injunction ruling
The court has significantly weakened district courts’ ability to halt illegal presidential actions.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
issued a scathing dissent in response to the Supreme Court’s majority opinion on Friday
that limited federal judges’ ability to temporarily pause Donald Trump’s executive orders nationwide.
The 6-3 decision, authored by Trump-appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett, allows the president to implement his order to end automatic birthright citizenship as litigation on the matter continues.
As The New York Times reported,
“the practice of g…

Supreme Court ruling on nationwide injunctions sparks fiery dissent from Justice Jackson
The Biden appointee said the Trump administration “wants to continue doing something that a court has determined violates the Constitution.”

@… As a former lawyer, I agree that the Court is now lawless. I don't know how one practices law these days, given the insanity spewed out by this Court.

Surf2CT: Cascaded 3D Flow Matching Models for Torso 3D CT Synthesis from Skin Surface
We present Surf2CT, a novel cascaded flow matching framework that synthesizes full 3D computed tomography (CT) volumes of the human torso from external surface scans and simple demographic data (age, sex, height, weight). This is the first approach capable of generating realistic volumetric internal anatomy images solely based on external body shape and demographics, without any internal imaging. Surf2CT proceeds through three sequential stages: (1) Surface Completion, reconstructing a complete…

Constraints Preserving Lax-Wendroff Flux Reconstruction for Relativistic Hydrodynamics with General Equations of State
In the realm of relativistic astrophysics, the ideal equation of state with a constant adiabatic index provides a poor approximation due to its inconsistency with relativistic kinetic theory. However, it is a common practice to use it for relativistic fluid flow equations due to its simplicity. Here we develop a high-order Lax-Wendroff flux reconstruction method on Cartesian grids for solving special relativistic hydrodynamics equations with several general equations of state available in the l…

A Novel Framework for Integrating 3D Ultrasound into Percutaneous Liver Tumour Ablation
3D ultrasound (US) imaging has shown significant benefits in enhancing the outcomes of percutaneous liver tumour ablation. Its clinical integration is crucial for transitioning 3D US into the therapeutic domain. However, challenges of tumour identification in US images continue to hinder its broader adoption. In this work, we propose a novel framework for integrating 3D US into the standard ablation workflow. We present a key component, a clinically viable 2D US-CT/MRI registration approach, le…

Not so long ago, members of high society were fixated on trying to low-key their way out of the perils of income inequality.
Minimalism and quiet luxury were in vogue.
But in the wake of President Trump’s second election, it’s the luxe life at full volume.
He gilded the White House, turning it into a Rococo Liberace lair.
Swaggy and braggy have replaced stealth wealth.
Flaunting it is in.
For women, that means sequins, diamonds, tight silhouettes and big h…
