Toolbox for children in return - Publications Office of the EU
Addressing the return of unaccompanied minors or children within families is a delicate matter that demands a humane approach. This approach must not only respect fundamental rights but also prioritise the child's best interests. Additionally, clear and comprehensive information about the return procedures is essential for those involved, enabling them to prepare as effectively as possible. One of the primary objectives of Frontex is to assist MS throughout all stages of the return procedures. …

Approximation Algorithms for the Cumulative Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic Demands
In the Cumulative Vehicle Routing Problem (Cu-VRP), we need to find a feasible itinerary for a capacitated vehicle located at the depot to satisfy customers' demand, as in the well-known Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP), but the goal is to minimize the cumulative cost of the vehicle, which is based on the vehicle's load throughout the itinerary. If the demand of each customer is unknown until the vehicle visits it, the problem is called Cu-VRP with Stochastic Demands (Cu-VRPSD). Assume that the ap…

IceCube searches for GeV neutrino counterparts associated with high-energy starting events
The origin of the astrophysical neutrino flux observed by IceCube is largely unknown. To help decipher its astrophysical origin, we propose an IceCube analysis that conducts follow-up searches for GeV neutrinos associated with neutrino events above 60 TeV, which are known to have a high probability to be of astrophysical origin. It could not only identify a new component of the astrophysical neutrino flux, but also characterize how its spectrum extrapolates from GeV to PeV energies. This would …

Minimum-norm interpolation for unknown surface reconstruction
We study algorithms to estimate geometric properties of raw point cloud data through implicit surface representations. Given that any level-set function with a constant level set corresponding to the surface can be used for such estimations, numerical methods need not specify a unique target function for the domain-type interpolation problems. In this paper, we focus on kernel-based interpolation by radial basis functions (RBF) and reformulate the uniquely solvable interpolation problem into a …

DEKC: Data-Enable Control for Tethered Space Robot Deployment in the Presence of Uncertainty via Koopman Operator Theory
This work focuses the deployment of tethered space robot in the presence of unknown uncertainty. A data-enable framework called DEKC which contains offline training part and online execution part is proposed to deploy tethered space robot in the presence of uncertainty. The main idea of this work is modeling the unknown uncertainty as a dynamical system, which enables high accuracy and convergence of capturing uncertainty. The core part of proposed framework is a proxy model of uncertainty, whi…

New survey data out Friday shows that Republicans are wrong if they remain unconcerned about public sentiment as it relates to the evisceration of Medicaid or healthcare support systems that would result from passage of their colossal legislation now making its way through Congress
— a bill that, if passed, would see coverage stripped from an estimated 11-16 million people in the coming years.

Poll Shows GOP Senators Who Vote to Cut Medicaid Could Face Political Peril
A KFF Health Tracking Poll shows anxiety is high about looming Medicaid cuts among voters across the political spectrum.

Whereas Leibniz’s task was to find the sum of infinitely many known terms, Hounsfield wondered:
Could the process be run in reverse?
With enough total dimmings, from enough directions, could we work backward to deduce the unknown absorption at each point along the many beams
— and use that to see inside the brain?
Most radiologists thought the idea was crazy. -- But one doctor was willing to listen.
He handed Hounsfield a jar containing a human brain with a t…

Planned Parenthood sued the Trump administration on Monday over a provision in Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill that would strip funding from health centers operated by the reproductive healthcare and abortion provider.
In a complaint filed in Boston federal court, Planned Parenthood said the provision was unconstitutional,
and its clear purpose is to prevent its nearly 600 health centers from receiving Medicaid reimbursements.
