Represented Is Not Computed: A Causal Test of Candidate Algorithmic Intermediates in a Transformer

This paper demonstrates that while linear probes suggest a Transformer trained on base-digit extraction computes staged arithmetic intermediates, causal tests reveal that the actual computational route relies on separate input streams that combine late, highlighting a significant divergence between representational evidence and causal mechanism.

Knowledge and utilization of family planning and safe abortion services among married women of reproductive age in the Raute community of Nepal: a census-based cross-sectional study

This census-based study of Nepal's marginalized Raute community reveals that while over half of married women utilize family planning, primarily through injectables, there is a critical lack of awareness regarding safe abortion policies and negligible access to these services, highlighting an urgent need for culturally tailored, mobile outreach and legal literacy programs to improve reproductive health equity.

The Nysa family as the main source of unequilibrated LL ordinary chondrites

By comparing the spectral and mineralogical properties of LL chondrites and near-Earth objects with their potential sources, this study concludes that the Nysa and Flora asteroid families are the distinct parent bodies responsible for the petrologic diversity of LL chondrites, favoring a multiple-parent-body model over a single thermally stratified one.

Lithium Enrichment in a Subgiant Star with a Brown Dwarf Companion: A Planetary Engulfment Candidate

This study identifies the subgiant star TOI-5882 as a strong candidate for planetary engulfment, evidenced by its significant lithium enrichment which modeling suggests could result from the ingestion of a super-Earth to Neptune-mass planet.

BALLAST: Bayesian Active Learning with Look-ahead Amendment for Sea-drifter Trajectories under Spatio-Temporal Vector Fields

The paper introduces BALLAST, a Bayesian active learning framework that optimizes the placement of Lagrangian sea drifters for inferring time-dependent ocean vector fields by incorporating look-ahead trajectory predictions and a novel efficient Gaussian Process inference method called VaSE.
