ATClean: A Novel Method for Detecting Low-luminosity Transients and Application to Pre-explosion Counterparts from SN 2023ixf by S. Rest, A. Rest, C. D. Kilpatrick, J. E. Jencson, S. von Coelln, L. Strolger, S. Smartt, J. P. Anderson, A. Clocchiatti, D. A. Coulter, L. Denneau, S. Gomez, A. Heinze, R. Ridden-Harper, K. W. Smith, B. Stalder, J. L. Tonry, Q. Wang, Y. Zenati

“…From ATLAS o -band imaging at the site of the Type II supernova (SN) 2023ixf in M101 from 2015–2023, we show that this method accurately reproduces the 3 σ flux limits produced from other, more computationally expensive methods. We derive limits for emission on timescales of 5 days and 80–300 days at the site of SN 2023ixf, which are 19.8 and 21.3 mag, respectively. …”

Information Compression as a Unifying Principle in Human Learning, Perception, and Cognition by J. Gerard Wolff

“…Evidence includes the following: information compression can mean selective advantage for any creature; the storage and utilisation of the relatively enormous quantities of sensory information would be made easier if the redundancy of incoming information was to be reduced; content words in natural languages, with their meanings, may be seen as ICMUP; other techniques for compression of information—such as class-inclusion hierarchies, schema-plus-correction, run-length coding, and part-whole hierarchies—may be seen in psychological phenomena; ICMUP may be seen in how we merge multiple views to make one, in recognition, in binocular vision, in how we can abstract object concepts via motion, in adaptation of sensory units in the eye of Limulus, the horseshoe crab, and in other examples of adaptation; the discovery of the segmental structure of language (words and phrases), grammatical inference, and the correction of over- and undergeneralisations in learning may be understood in terms of ICMUP; information compression may be seen in the perceptual constancies; there is indirect evidence for ICMUP in human cognition via kinds of redundancy such as the decimal expansion of π which are difficult for people to detect; much of the structure and workings of mathematics—an aid to human thinking—may be understood in terms of ICMUP; and there is additional evidence via the SP Theory of Intelligence and its realisation in the SP Computer Model. Three objections to the main thesis of this paper are described, with suggested answers. …”

Impact of socio-demographic structure of the deaf people communities in prevalence of hereditary hearing loss by O. L. Posukh, M. S. Bady-Khoo, M. V. Zytsar, V. Yu. Mikhalskaia, S. A. Lashin, N. A. Barashkov, G. P. Romanov

“…The start for these events was the breakdown of the deep social isolation of deaf people, which occurred about 300 years ago in Europe, and later in the US, when special schools for the deaf with learning sign language as a common tool for communication were established (linguistic homogamy). Computer simulations and comparative retrospective study showed that over the past 200 years these social processes can have doubled the frequency of deafness in the US caused by the GJB2 gene mutations. …”
