PromoPlot: Covering open-access fees by filling wasted space in corner plots [PDF]
In an effort to reduce drain on grant funds and decrease unused space in publications, we have developed a Python package for inserting advertisements into the space left empty by corner plots. This novel technique can allow authors to reduce or eliminate publication charges for journals such as MNRAS and ApJ.

Homelessness and the Mobile Shelter System: Public Transportation as Shelter [PDF]
Those without housing often use public space differently than those who are housed. This can cause dilemmas for and conflicts among public officials as guardians of public space and goods.

Field Notes on Deploying Research Robots in Public Spaces [PDF]
Human-robot interaction requires to be studied in the wild. In the summers of 2022 and 2023, we deployed two trash barrel service robots through the wizard-of-oz protocol in public spaces to study human-robot interactions in urban settings. We deployed the robots at two different public plazas in downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn for a collective of 20 ...

Kernel theorem for the space of Beurling - Komatsu tempered ultradistibutions [PDF]
We give a simple proof of the Kernel theorem for the space of tempered ultradistributions of Beurling - Komatsu type, using the characterization of Fourier-Hermite coefficients of the elements of the space. We prove in details that the test space of tempered ultradistributions of Beurling - Komatsu type can be identified with the space of sequences of ...

Making Sense of Robots in Public Spaces: A Study of Trash Barrel Robots [PDF]
In this work, we analyze video data and interviews from a public deployment of two trash barrel robots in a large public space to better understand the sensemaking activities people perform when they encounter robots in public spaces. Based on an analysis of 274 human-robot interactions and interviews with N=65 individuals or groups, we discovered that

Turing-equivalent automata using a fixed-size quantum memory [PDF]
In this paper, we introduce a new public quantum interactive proof system and the first quantum alternating Turing machine: qAM proof system and qATM, respectively. Both are obtained from their classical counterparts (Arthur-Merlin proof system and alternating Turing machine, respectively,) by augmenting them with a fixed-size quantum register.

Tree-squares in Anatolia : what does an emergent public space mean? [PDF]
Urban places, besides their physical characteristics, are regarded as grounds where personal or collective meanings are created and accumulated. An individual can capture the meaning of a place, or create new meanings by relying on his/her own feelings ...
