Over the past 16 years, the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has significantly advanced our view of the GeV gamma-ray sky, yet several key questions remain - such as the composition of the isotropic gamma-ray background, the origin of the Fermi Bubbl...

Evans developed a classical unified field theory of gravitation and electromagnetism on the background of a spacetime obeying a Riemann-Cartan geometry. In an accompanying paper I, we analyzed this theory and summarized it in nine equations. We now...
Evan Bradds was hired as an assistant coach with Duke men's basketball in May 2025, bringing a strong background in player development and NBA coaching experience to the Blue Devils' staff.
Background: Two-phonon excitations originating from the coupling of two collective one-phonon states are of great interest in nuclear structure physics. One possibility to generate low-lying $E1$ excitations is the coupling of quadrupole and octupole...
*Typo in the title, should be "isn't Going to Take It Anymore"* ##Background Asmongold is a hugely popular Twitch and YouTube personality who built his brand on blunt commentary and reaction content...
**Background and market context** Let me be clear: since the Great Recession in 2009, the world has experienced the longest bull market in history. Had I been an investor at any other point in time,...
I have no background in macroeconomics. In fact, I'm in healthcare. However, this is what I've gathered in all of my 3 months of investing, learning more about econ and finance than my own field. You ...
This paper introduces a novel benchmark dataset designed to evaluate the capabilities of Vision Language Models (VLMs) on tasks that combine visual reasoning with subject-specific background knowledge in the German language. In contrast to widely use...
In this paper we investigate compactifications of the type II and heterotic string on four-dimensional spaces with nongeometric monodromies. We explicitly construct backgrounds which contain the "Duality Twists" discussed by Dabholkar and Hull. Sim...
In this study, we investigate the numerical stability of the covariant Baumgarte--Shapiro--Shibata--Nakamura (cBSSN) formulation against the Friedmann--Lemaître--Robertson--Walker spacetime. To evaluate the numerical stability, we calculate the cons...
In a series of two papers, we provide a comprehensive agenda of actions the American Astronomical Society (AAS) can take to create a more diverse and inclusive professional system for astronomers, with a focus on women astronomers. This first paper o...
We explore whether the phase diagram of tensor models could feature a pregeometric, discrete and a geometric, continuum phase for the building blocks of space. The latter are associated to rank $d$ tensors of size $N$. We search for a universal large...
### Background Neopets is the OG virtual petsite. If you were on the internet in the early 2000s, you had an account. You painted your pets, you played some Flash games, you collected your free omelet...

#Background The NFL is the professional organization for gridiron football in the United States, and one of the largest sporting organizations on the planet. Boasting a yearly revenue of over $16 bi...
The recent claim by BICEP2 of evidence for primordial gravitational waves from inflation has focused interest on the potential for early-Universe cosmology using observations of gravitational waves. In addition to cosmic microwave background detector...
We survey recent calculations probing what constraints decoupling can put on the influence of very-high-energy physics on the predictions of inflation for the cosmic microwave background. Using garden-variety hybrid inflation models we identify two...
Background: Social media public health campaigns have the advantage of tailored messaging at low cost and large reach, but little is known about what would determine their feasibility as tools for inducing attitude and behavior change. Objective: T...
Using data on 103 recent P4 college football hires, we built a statistical model for predicting a coach's success at their new school. For each hire, we collected data about their background and experiences, the previous success as a head coach or co...
