X's Community Notes is a crowdsourced fact-checking system. To improve its scalability, X introduced ``Request Community Note'' feature, enabling users to solicit fact-checks from contributors on specific posts. Yet, its implications for the system -...
In recent decades, many studies investigated the influencing factors on walking. Although there are lots of finding about these factors, only a few of them conducted to differentiate between short and long walking trips and their associated influenci...
We study gravitational perturbations of the Bonanno--Reuter quantum-corrected black hole arising in the asymptotic safety scenario, focusing on QNMs and grey-body factors. Assuming the RG parameter $\tildeω$ is fixed to its phenomenologically motiva...
Measurements of the ratio of the elastic form factors of the proton ($μ_pG_E/G_M$) exhibit a strong discrepancy. Experiments using unpolarized beams and Rosenbluth separation to determine the form factors have found values of the ratio approximately...
I'm aware of the [academic paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2102.04871) and I'd love to see more of this kind of deep analysis. I can't even imagine the various low-level optimizations. The scale of the s...

At the Large Hadron Collider at CERN the proton bunches cross at a rate of 40MHz. At the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment the original collision rate is reduced by a factor of O (1000) using a Level-1 hardware trigger. A subsequent factor of O(1000...
Hey everyone, I’ve spent the last decade working in a factory in China that manufactures vacuum cleaners—especially cordless models. Over the years, I’ve seen it all: the good, the bad, and the...
A single highly cited article can give a big but temporary lift in its host journal's impact factor evidenced by the striking example of "A short history of SHELX" published in Acta Crystallographica Section A. By using Journal Citation Reports and W...

This paper presents a comprehensive dataset of LoRaWAN technology path loss measurements collected in an indoor office environment, focusing on quantifying the effects of environmental factors on signal propagation. Utilizing a network of six strateg...
Electroproduction of $π^+$ above the resonance region is analyzed in the Regge model for $π+ρ$ exchanges. Importance of the roles of pion and proton form factors in the process is discussed in comparison with existing models of Kaskulov and Mosel,...
Substantial progress has been made recently on developing provably accurate and efficient algorithms for low-rank matrix factorization via nonconvex optimization. While conventional wisdom often takes a dim view of nonconvex optimization algorithms d...
An electron-positron collider designed for precision studies of the Higgs boson, a so-called Higgs factory is the highest-priority next collider of the particle physics community. This contribution summarises the key physics goals of such a Higgs fac...
Let $P=(p_1, p_2, \dots, p_n)$ be a polygonal chain in $\mathbb{R}^d$. The stretch factor of $P$ is the ratio between the total length of $P$ and the distance of its endpoints, $\sum_{i = 1}^{n-1} |p_i p_{i+1}|/|p_1 p_n|$. For a parameter $c \geq 1$,...
This paper investigates the issue of determining the dimensions of row and column factor spaces in matrix-valued data. Exploiting the eigen-gap in the spectrum of sample second moment matrices of the data, we propose a family of randomised tests to c...
