Abstract: Low-altitude wireless networks (LAWN) require drones to follow specific trajectories controlled by ground base stations (GBSs). However, given complex low-altitude channel conditions and limited spectrum and power resources, sensing errors and wireless link unreliability cannot be ignored, leading to trajectory deviations that threaten flight safety. To address this issue, this paper proposes an integrated sensing-communication-control (ISCC) closed-loop trajectory tracking approach, aiming to reveal the coupling mechanisms among communication, sensing, and control during drone flight. In detail, we incorporate sensing errors in trajectory state estimation, packet losses in control command transmission, and finite blocklength transmission effects into the closed-loop dynamics. First, through theoretical analysis, we identify the dominant role of the time-frequency resources allocated to control in ensuring system stability and derive a lower bound on the resources required to guarantee stable operation. Second, to minimize tracking error, we formulate a time-frequency resource allocation optimization problem for the sensing, communication, and control components, subject to constraints on communication rate and closed-loop stability. Accordingly, a solution algorithm based on successive convex approximation is proposed. Third, simulation results indicate that once stability is ensured, system performance is primarily determined by sensing accuracy, with the trajectory tracking error exhibiting an approximately linear dependence on the position error bound. Finally, it is shown that the proposed ISCC scheme avoids trajectory divergence under FBL transmission compared with ISCC designs ignoring control packet loss, and could achieve decimeter-level average tracking accuracy, reducing the error to only 17.37% of that observed in the baseline global navigation satellite system scheme.

EarlySciRev: A Dataset of Early-Stage Scientific Revisions Extracted from LaTeX Writing Traces

arXiv:2603.28515v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Scientific writing is an iterative process that generates rich revision traces, yet publicly available resources typically expose only final or near-final versions of papers. This limits empirical study of revision behaviour and evaluation of large language models (LLMs) for scientific writing. We introduce EarlySciRev, a dataset of early-stage scientific text revisions automatically extracted from arXiv LaTeX source files. Our key observation is that commented-out text in LaTeX often preserves discarded or alternative formulations written by the authors themselves. By aligning commented segments with nearby final text, we extract paragraph-level candidate revision pairs and apply LLM-based filtering to retain genuine revisions. Starting from 1.28M candidate pairs, our pipeline yields 578k validated revision pairs, grounded in authentic early drafting traces. We additionally provide a human-annotated benchmark for revision detection. EarlySciRev complements existing resources focused on late-stage revisions or synthetic rewrites and supports research on scientific writing dynamics, revision modelling, and LLM-assisted editing.

An analytical model of Disequilibrium and decentralized productive Exploration

Abstract: This paper studies the economic role of persistent dispersion in allocations across agents. We develop a tractable model in which firms allocate resources under imperfect information and behavioral updating, generating sustained heterogeneity in beliefs and actions. While dispersion induces static misallocation, it also fosters decentralized experimentation, allowing the economy to explore a broader set of productive opportunities. We show that the economy converges to a stationary equilibrium with strictly positive dispersion and that, under plausible conditions, such disequilibrium can dominate the perfectly coordinated benchmark. The model provides a novel interpretation of observed dispersion in productivity and returns as reflecting both inefficiency and productive exploration. It also yields testable predictions linking dispersion to growth and innovation dynamics.

Kind of a dud article, given it promises mid than it delivers about the actual spawning process, but it contains an amazing fact:
Apparently Sigmund Freud did an unsuccessful stint as a marine biologist and was tasked with dissecting 400 male eels to try to find their reproductive organs, which he couldn't because despite being adults they aren't sexually mature until they migrate to their spawning grounds.
I feel like this explains a LOT about Freud's theories' focus on sexual organs (especially of the eel-shaped variety), in light of... Freud's theories.

Pattern Formation in a Spatial Public Goods Dilemma due to Diffusive or Directed Motion

Abstract: The costly provision of public goods serves as a model problem for the evolution of cooperative behavior, presenting a social dilemma between the collective benefits of shared resources and the individual incentive to free-ride in resource production. The spatial structure of populations can also impact cooperation over public goods, as diffusion of public goods and intentional motion of individuals towards regions with greater resources can interact with population and public goods dynamics to produce heterogeneous patterns in the spatial distribution of strategies and resources. In this paper, we build off a model introduced by Young and Belmonte for the reaction dynamics of interacting individuals and explicit public good, deriving a system of PDEs that describes the spatial profiles of strategies and the public good in the presence of both diffusive motion of individuals and resources and chemotaxis-like directed motion of individuals in response to gradients in the concentration of public goods. Through linear stability analysis, we show that spatial patterns in strategic and public goods profiles can emerge due to either Turing instability with high defector diffusivity or a directed-motion instability through strong sensitivity of cooperators towards increasing resource concentration. We further explore the emergent spatial patterns with a mix of weakly nonlinear stability analysis and numerical simulation, showing that diffusion-driven instability appears to increase cooperation and public goods across the spatial domain, while directed motion of cooperators towards regions with great public goods provision tends to decrease cooperation and environmental quality across the environment.

Beneath Arctic ice, a vast fossil fuel footprint is colliding with Indigenous lands and wildlife
Arctic fossil fuel development shows significant overlaps with Indigenous communities and ecologically sensitive areas, which might support calls from some scientists to keep Arctic fossil fuels in the ground, according to a study published in PLOS One by Daniele Codato of the University of Padova, Italy, and colleagues. The Arctic is a frontline for fossil fuel development and climate change impact, long portrayed as a region with abundant undiscovered oil and gas resources, while warming at a…

LombardoGraphia: Automatic Classification of Lombard Orthography Variants

Abstract: Lombard, an underresourced language variety spoken by approximately 3.8 million people in Northern Italy and Southern Switzerland, lacks a unified orthographic standard. Multiple orthographic systems exist, creating challenges for NLP resource development and model training. This paper presents the first study of automatic Lombard orthography classification and LombardoGraphia, a curated corpus of 11,186 Lombard Wikipedia samples tagged across 9 orthographic variants, and models for automatic orthography classification. We curate the dataset, processing and filtering raw Wikipedia content to ensure text suitable for orthographic analysis. We train 24 traditional and neural classification models with various features and encoding levels. Our best models achieve 96.06% and 85.78% overall and average class accuracy, though performance on minority classes remains challenging due to data imbalance. Our work provides crucial infrastructure for building variety-aware NLP resources for Lombard.

It’s important to distinguish two different hypothetical ways in which gen AI can constitute a massive wealth transfer:
Scenario 1, “LLMs are the new petrochemicals:” Gen AI is actually effective for all sorts of tasks as advertised. It becomes a necessity for economic participation / useful work / whatever, and ownership of the data model and/or data centers thus means control of high-value resources.
