Photometry for highly saturated TESS stars

Saturation in TESS complicates simple aperture photometry, as flux can be lost to bleeding outside the target pixels. Halo photometry can nevertheless reconstruct good light curves of these stars, as a weighted linear combination of pixel time series from the unsaturatedwings of...

Intersectional fairness in vision-language models for medical image disease classification

Medical artificial intelligence (AI) systems, particularly multimodal vision-language models (VLM), often exhibit intersectional biases, with models systematically less confident in diagnosing marginalised patient subgroups and producing higher rates of missed diagnoses. Current...

Talismanic posthuman childhood in Tales of Arcadia

The conceptual fluidity of narrative in the children’s contemporary fantasy television series Trollhunters , from the Tales of Arcadia universe, emerges from techno-magic and non-human modes of being. Uncontainability and monstrous and object-mediated transformation define both a...

How big is the carbon bubble really?

We examine how major U.S.-listed fossil fuel firms respond to discrete climate policy signals, including annual United Nations climate summits and four major policy announcements, by estimating market-implied valuations under business as usual (BAU) and policy-adjusted scenarios...

Neurocognitive outcomes after treatment of unruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms – a systematic review

Cognitive changes after treatment of ruptured anterior communicating artery (AComA) aneurysms have been recognized for decades. Whether such deficits occur after elective treatment of unruptured aneurysms remains uncertain. A systematic search in MEDLINE (via PubMed and via Ovid)...
