Experimental study of Alfvén wave reflection from an Alfvén-speed gradient relevant to the solar coronal holes
We report the first experimental detection of a reflected Alfvén wave from an Alfvén-speed gradient under conditions similar to those in coronal holes. The experiments were conducted in the Large Plasma Device at the University of California, Los Angeles. We present the experimentally measured dependence of the coefficient of reflection versus the wave inhomogeneity parameter, i.e., the ratio of the wave length of the incident wave to the length scale of the gradient. Two-fluid simulations us…

Induced Gravitational Wave interpretation of PTA data: a complete study for general equation of state
We thoroughly study the induced gravitational wave interpretation of the possible gravitational wave background reported by PTA collaborations, considering the unknown equation of state $w$ of the early universe. We perform a Bayesian analysis of the NANOGrav data using the publicly available \textsc{PTArcade} code together with \textsc{SIGWfast} for the numerical integration of the induced gravitational wave spectrum. We focus on two cases: a monochromatic and a log-normal primordial spectrum …

#Apple is laying off more than 600 workers in California, marking the company’s first big wave of post-pandemic job cuts amid a broader wave of tech industry consolidation.
The iPhone maker notified 614 workers in multiple offices on 28 March that they were losing their jobs, with the #layoffs becoming effective on 2…

There are 14 people on the W3C's Social Web Incubator Community Group today. The group is finalizing new documents that describe how to use WebFinger and HTTP Signatures in the #Fediverse, and a bunch of other work going on as well.
So glad to see what there is ongoing work making the technical plumbing that makes the Fediverse work even better!
If you care, you can participate, it…

Social Web Incubator Community Group
The Social Web Incubator Community Group (also known as SocialCG, or SWICG) is the successor of the Social Web Working Group, which ran from 2014 to 2017. The SocialCG provides space to collaborate and coordinate for implementors who are building on any of the specifications published by the Social Web WG, and related technologies. It is also a place to incubate new proposals which build on or complement the Social Web WG recommendations…
