YOWSA that was some #toronto parade! We left #christiepits at dusk, with 4 sousaphones, some number of trumpets, trombones, saxophones of all sorts, fire dancers and drums galore, and I'm told my notoriously loud banjo was actually heard above the chaos.
It's largely a blur, but I do recall an extended 2nd line paused in the centre of some intersection where a blocked streetcar called Hold was opposite another that seemed in business, so that suggests we were crossing College?! A fair hike from Bloor.
My feet hate me, but it was a magical night. All musicians volunteered, for many it was old-home catching up with others not seen in years, and dancers of all ages.
I pinged a few fellow players with my "THIS is what Music is for, what we do on a stage is only a simulation of this" and all agreed. That gives me hope.

A massive primordial atmosphere on early Mars
Mars finished forming while the solar nebula was still present, and acquired its primordial atmosphere from this reservoir. The absence of a detectable cometary xenon signature in the present-day Martian atmosphere suggests that the capture of solar nebular gas was significant enough to dilute later cometary contributions. By quantifying the mass of cometary material efficiently retained on Mars, we place a lower bound on the mass of the primordial Martian atmosphere. To test the robustness of …

An Ultra-Short Period Super-Earth and Sub-Neptune Spanning the Radius Valley Orbiting the Kinematic Thick Disk Star TOI-2345
A crucial chemical link between stars and their orbiting exoplanets is thought to exist. If universal, this connection could affect the formation and evolution of all planets. Therefore, this potential vital link needs testing by characterising exoplanets around chemically-diverse stars. We present the discovery of two planets orbiting the metal-poor, kinematic thick-disk K-dwarf TOI-2345. TOI-2345 b is a super-Earth with a period of 1.05 days and TOI-2345 c is a sub-Neptune with a period of 21…

6G Resilience -- White Paper
6G must be designed to withstand, adapt to, and evolve amid prolonged, complex disruptions. Mobile networks' shift from efficiency-first to sustainability-aware has motivated this white paper to assert that resilience is a primary design goal, alongside sustainability and efficiency, encompassing technology, architecture, and economics. We promote resilience by analysing dependencies between mobile networks and other critical systems, such as energy, transport, and emergency services, and illus…

Counterfactual Identifiability via Dynamic Optimal Transport
We address the open question of counterfactual identification for high-dimensional multivariate outcomes from observational data. Pearl (2000) argues that counterfactuals must be identifiable (i.e., recoverable from the observed data distribution) to justify causal claims. A recent line of work on counterfactual inference shows promising results but lacks identification, undermining the causal validity of its estimates. To address this, we establish a foundation for multivariate counterfactual …

A four-planet system orbiting the old thick disk star TOI-1203
TOI-1203 is a bright (V=8.6) G3 V star known to host a transiting warm sub-Neptune on a 25.5 d orbit. Here we report on an intensive high-precision radial velocity and photometric follow-up campaign carried out with the HARPS spectrograph and the CHEOPS space telescope. We found that TOI-1203 has an enhancement of $α$ elements relative to iron of [$α$/Fe]=$0.21\pm0.04$. With an age of $\sim$12.5 Gyr, TOI-1203 belongs to the old, $α$-element enhanced stellar population of the galactic thick d…

Co-Located VR with Hybrid SLAM-based HMD Tracking and Motion Capture Synchronization
We introduce a multi-user VR co-location framework that synchronizes users within a shared virtual environment aligned to physical space. Our approach combines a motion capture system with SLAM-based inside-out tracking to deliver smooth, high-framerate, low-latency performance. Previous methods either rely on continuous external tracking, which introduces latency and jitter, or on one-time calibration, which cannot correct drift over time. In contrast, our approach combines the responsiveness …

Bio-KGvec2go: Serving up-to-date Dynamic Biomedical Knowledge Graph Embeddings
Knowledge graphs and ontologies represent entities and their relationships in a structured way, having gained significance in the development of modern AI applications. Integrating these semantic resources with machine learning models often relies on knowledge graph embedding models to transform graph data into numerical representations. Therefore, pre-trained models for popular knowledge graphs and ontologies are increasingly valuable, as they spare the need to retrain models for different tas…
