Aggregation and the Structure of Value
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Roughly, the view I call “Additivism” sums up value across time and people. Given some standard assumptions, I show that Additivism follows from two principles. The first says that how lives align in time cannot, in itself, matter. The second says, roughly, that a world cannot be better unless it is better within some period or another.

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Laws play some role in explanations: at the very least, they somehow connect what is explained, or the explanandum, to what explains, or the explanans. Thus, thermodynamical laws connect the match's being struck and its lightning, so that the former causes the latter; and laws about set formation connect Socrates' existence with {Socrates}'s ...

Spatial depth for data in metric spaces
Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract We propose a novel measure of statistical depth, the metric spatial depth, for data residing in an arbitrary metric space. The measure assigns high (low) values for points located near (far away from) the bulk of the data distribution, allowing quantifying their centrality/outlyingness.

Function Art: Linking Mathematics, Technology, and Visual Arts
School Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigated students' understanding of mathematical functions and strategies to create artwork using GeoGebra. It was framed by the principles of constructionism and examined how students use functions in creating artworks. We gathered data from students' artworks using the Algebra view and the Construction Protocol in the GeoGebra

Secondary School Mathematics Teachers' Accuracy at Predicting Student Errors
School Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We studied changes over time in secondary school mathematics teachers' accuracy in predicting students' errors. In a total of 37 sessions, seven teachers were asked to predict the percentage of students choosing each option in five multiple‐choice diagnostic questions taken from the free website https://diagnosticquestions.com/.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Long‐duration spaceflight represents an extreme challenge, triggering adaptive responses including spaceflight‐associated neuro‐ocular syndrome, characterized by diminished visual acuity and ocular changes, which is a significant health risk for Mars missions.

Isoperimetric inequalities on slabs with applications to cubes and Gaussian slabs
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 4, Page 1012-1072, April 2026.Abstract We study isoperimetric inequalities on “slabs”, namely weighted Riemannian manifolds obtained as the product of the uniform measure on a finite length interval with a codimension‐one base. As our two main applications, we consider the case when the base is the flat torus R2/2Z2$\mathbb {R}^2 / 2 \mathbb {Z}^2$ and the standard Gaussian measure

Variants of a theorem of Macbeath in finite‐dimensional normed spaces
Mathematika, Volume 72, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract A classical theorem of Macbeath states that for any integers d⩾2$d \geqslant 2$, n⩾d+1$n \geqslant d+1$, d$d$‐dimensional Euclidean balls are hardest to approximate, in terms of volume difference, by inscribed convex polytopes with n$n$ vertices.
