Lübecker Bauausschuss entscheidet gegen #Straßenbahn
"Im Bauausschuss am Montagabend schlossen sich CDU, SPD, AfD und FDP der Empfehlung der Verwaltung an, die Planungen für eine Straßenbahn einzustellen. Grüne, Linke & GAL sowie „Die Fraktion“ hätten die Planungen gerne fortgesetzt. Die Rathaus-Kooperation aus CDU und Grünen ist bei diesem Thema gespalten."

Eine Straßenbahn für Lübeck? Verkehrspolitiker lassen Traum platzen
Die politischen Weichen sind gestellt: Lübeck wird keine neue Straßenbahn bauen. Finanzielle Bedenken und drohendes Verkehrschaos gaben den Ausschlag für die Verkehrspolitiker. Am 27. November entscheidet die Bürgerschaft endgültig.

The PICS Project: II. Circumnebular extinction variations and their effect on the planetary nebulae luminosity function
For decades, the theoretical understanding of planetary nebulae (PNe) has remained in tension with the observed universal bright-end cutoff of the PN luminosity function (PNLF). While the brightest younger PN populations are expected to be brighter in their [OIII] emission than observed, recent studies have proposed circumnebular extinction to be a key ingredient for bringing their brightness down to the observed bright end. In this work we use the recently introduced PICS (PNe In Cosmological …

On Few-Distance Sets in the Plane
Let $g(k)$ be the maximum size of a planar set that determines at most $k$ distances. We prove $$\fracπ{3\,C(Λ_{hex})}\ k\sqrt{\log k} (1+o(1)) \le g(k) \le C k\log k,$$ so $g(k) \asymp k\sqrt{\log k}$ with an explicit constant from the hexagonal lattice. For any arithmetic lattice $Λ$ we show $$g_Λ(k)\ge (π/4) S^*(Λ) k\sqrt{\log k} (1+o(1)).$$ We also give quantitative stability: unless $X$ is line-heavy or has two popular nonparallel shifts, either almost all ordered pairs lie below a h…

Generalized Pseudo-Hopf Bifurcation: Limit Cycle Position and Period
We investigate planar piecewise-smooth vector fields with a discontinuity line, focusing on the bifurcation of crossing limit cycles that arise when one of the vector fields is translated along the discontinuity set. We establish topological conditions under which such bifurcations occur and, under additional generic hypotheses, derive precise asymptotic expressions for both the position and the period of the resulting limit cycle in terms of the perturbation parameter. Our results extend the c…

Optimizing Fairness in Production Planning: A Human-Centric Approach to Machine and Workforce Allocation
This work presents a two-layer, human-centric production planning framework designed to optimize both operational efficiency and workforce fairness in industrial manufacturing. The first layer formulates the Order-Line allocation as a Constraint Programming (CP) problem, generating high-utilization production schedules that respect machine capacities, processing times, and due dates. The second layer models Worker-Line allocation as a Markov Decision Process (MDP), integrating human factors suc…

The Simons Observatory: Characterization of All DC/RF Routing Wafers for Detector Modules
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background experiment with over 67,000 polarization-sensitive transition-edge sensor (TES) detectors currently installed for use in observations and plans to increase the total detector count to ${\sim}$98,000 detectors with the Advanced SO upgrade. The TES arrays are packaged into Universal Focal-Plane Modules (UFMs), which also contain the multiplexing readout circuit. Within a readout module, a DC/RF routing wafer provides a cold interface be…
