More than any time in history, mankind now faces a crossroads. One path
leads to despair and utter hopelessness, the other to total extinction.
Let us pray that we have the wisdom to choose correctly.

React-tRace: A Semantics for Understanding React Hooks
React has become the most widely used web front-end framework, enabling the creation of user interfaces in a declarative and compositional manner. Hooks are a set of APIs that manage side effects in functional components in React. However, their semantics are often seen as opaque to developers, leading to UI bugs. In this paper, we formalize the semantics of the essence of React Hooks we name React-tRace, providing a framework that clarifies their behavior. We demonstrate that our model capture…

Got my first IgE inhibitor shot this afternoon.
It has only been an hour and a half, no side major effects, good nor bad. Just one large non-itchy hive, and a lump on the side of my arm where it got the shot. Needles don't usually bug me, but seeing the spring loader on it after was, interesting, to say the least.
Hoping for some relief or reduction in allergies, asthma, and upper respiratory distress I've been having with

Effects of Unplanned Incoming Flights on Airport Relief Processes after a Major Natural Disaster
The severity of natural disasters is increasing every year, impacting many people's lives. During the response phase of disasters, airports are important hubs where relief aid arrives and people need to be evacuated. However, the airport often forms a bottleneck in these relief operations due to the sudden need for increased capacity. Limited research has been done on the operational side of airport disaster management. Experts identify the main problems as, first, the asymmetry of information …

Manifold-Constrained Gaussian Processes for Inference of Mixed-effects Ordinary Differential Equations with Application to Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic modeling using ordinary differential equations (ODEs) has an important role in dose optimization studies, where dosing must balance sustained therapeutic efficacy with the risk of adverse side effects. Such ODE models characterize drug plasma concentration over time and allow pharmacokinetic parameters to be inferred, such as drug absorption and elimination rates. For time-course studies involving treatment groups with multiple subjects, mixed-effects ODE models are commonly use…

Heat transfer modulation in Phase Change Materials via fin insertion
We leverage a large set of numerical simulations to study optimized geometrical configurations for Phase Change Materials (PCMs) cells. We consider a PCM cell as a square enclosure with a solid substance that undergoes melting under the effect of a heat source from one side and under the effects of buoyancy forces. Moreover, an additional source fin with prescribed length $l$ and height $h$ protrudes into the cell perpendicularly from the heat source. The fin prompts enhanced heat transfer and …

When humans feel powerless, especially after traumatic events or retraumatization or ~ gestures generally at C-PTSD ~ what often helps is having an area of control over choices, decisions, and outcomes (especially outcomes that have positive side effects like humans liking the action/work/result)

Consumption Stimulus with Digital Coupons
We study consumption stimulus with digital coupons, which provide time-limited subsidies contingent on minimum spending. We analyze a large-scale program in China and present five main findings: (1) the program generates large short-term effects, with each $\yen$1 of government subsidy inducing $\yen$3.4 in consumer spending; (2) consumption responses vary substantially, driven by both demand-side factors (e.g., wealth) and supply-side factors (e.g., local consumption amenities); (3) The larges…

Coriolis force acting on near-surface horizontal flows during simulations of flux emergence produces a tilt angle consistent with Joy's law on the Sun
Joy's law describes the tilt of bipolar active regions on the Sun away from an east-west orientation, where the flux of the polarity concentrated at the prograde side tends to be closer to the equator than the polarity on the retrograde side. Joy's law is attributed to the Coriolis force because of the observed increase in tilt angle at higher latitudes. This tilt plays a crucial role in some solar dynamo models. Our goal is to model the effects of the Coriolis force on a flux tube as it rises …

Signal-First Architectures: Rethinking Front-End Reactivity
Modern front-end frameworks face escalating reactivity management challenges, including performance degradation from complex observable chains and unpredictable re-renders. This paper introduces Signal-First Architecture--a novel paradigm where granular, dependency-tracked signals are the atomic unit of reactivity. Unlike traditional RxJS or NgRx patterns, Signal-First enforces reactive flows from explicit signal declarations, with derived values via computed() and side effects scoped to effect…
