1 day ago · The tanker Stena Imperative, which supplies fuel to the US Navy, was hit by two projectiles in the port of Bahrain. This happened during a massive Iranian attack, which Bahrain repelled by …
In the case of finite measures on finite spaces, we state conditions under which φ- projections are continuously differentiable. When the set on which one wishes to φ- project is convex, we show that the required assumptions are implied by easily v...
We introduce the notion of watching systems in graphs, which is a generalization of that of identifying codes. We give some basic properties of watching systems, an upper bound on the minimum size of a watching system, and results on the graphs which...
Facial action units allow an objective, standardized description of facial micro movements which can be used to describe emotions in human faces. Annotating data for action units is an expensive and time-consuming task, which leads to a scarce data s...
Bidirectional typing combines two modes of typing: type checking, which checks that a program satisfies a known type, and type synthesis, which determines a type from the program. Using checking enables bidirectional typing to support features for wh...
Ap star magnetism is often attributed to fossil magnetic fields which have not changed much since the pre-main-sequence epoch of the stars. Stable magnetic field configurations are known which could persist probably for the entire main-sequence life...
We address the problem of the development of representations and their relationship to the environment. We study a software agent which develops in a network a representation of its simple environment which captures and integrates the relationships...
Interval parking functions are a generalization of parking functions in which cars have an interval preference for their parking. We generalize this definition to parking functions with $n$ cars and $m\geq n$ parking spots, which we call interval rat...
The processes underlying human cognition are often divided into System 1, which involves fast, intuitive thinking, and System 2, which involves slow, deliberate reasoning. Previously, large language models were criticized for lacking the deeper, more...
This paper discusses the design and implementation of the Modular Pipe Climber inside ASTM D1785 - 15e1 standard pipes [1]. The robot has three tracks which operate independently and are mounted on three modules which are oriented at 120° to each ot...

We construct a topos in which the Dedekind reals are countable. The topos arises from a new kind of realizability, which we call parameterized realizability, based on partial combinatory algebras whose application depends on a parameter. Realizers...
We introduce a new sparse estimator of the covariance matrix for high-dimensional models in which the variables have a known ordering. Our estimator, which is the solution to a convex optimization problem, is equivalently expressed as an estimator wh...
The periodic tiling conjecture asserts that any finite subset of a lattice $\mathbb{Z^d}$ which tiles that lattice by translations, in fact tiles periodically. We announce here a disproof of this conjecture for sufficiently large $d$, which also impl...
We propose a concept of quantum computing which incorporates an additional kind of uncertainty, i.e. vagueness (fuzziness), in a natural way by introducing new entities, obscure qudits (e.g. obscure qubits), which are characterized simultaneously by...
Jun 25, 2025 · Labubus are collectible plush monster toys that frequently come in unmarked boxes, which means you don’t know which character you’re going to get—and that mystery only adds to that …
