Soil Moisture and Vegetation are Key Predictors of Precipitation-driven Groundwater Recharge Occurrences in Southeastern Australia

Akhilesh Kumar has the first output from his PhD research available as a preprint:
https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5956885

These are his words:

"I am excited to share the first results from my PhD. The study looked at important predictors of groundwater recharge occurrences.

The hydrogeologist community mostly agrees on variables that are important for predicting when groundwater recharge happens but what we are less certain about is the extent of how important these variables are and even less so on if there is a cause-and-effect relationship between them and recharge occurrences.

In this study we investigated the correlation, mutual as well as causal aspects of this relationship and found that soil saturation and vegetation are strongest predictors while rainfall is strong predictor at 6-7 days of cumulative accumulation.

A big thank you to the NGROS team for their valuable contributions and to my co-authors!!! 🙌 "

GR vs MOND - not competing theories, both emerge from 7D geometry.

New paper: Kaluza-Klein reduction splits into GR (metric) + MOND (scalar sector).

7D Einstein-Hilbert → Einstein's equations + AQUAL.

Prediction: lensing = dynamics. Testable.

Read this #preprint on @researchsquare: The Emergence of Prime Distribution from Low-Dimensional Deterministic Chaos https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-8394349/latest

Galaxy clusters break MOND. They need ~1.7× more mass than predicted - modified gravity's biggest problem.

New paper: the enhancement comes from geometry. Hot plasma activates extra coupling channels (3 vs. 1 in cold galaxies).

√3 = 1.73. Matches data: 1.69 ± 0.39.
Predicts zero hydrostatic bias - testable with X-ray + lensing.

#aiXiv is a new #preprint repository accepting works generated entirely by #AI.
https://aixiv.science/

It also accepts works by humans and works co-authored by humans and #AI in any ratio. It subjects new submissions to preliminary review done entirely by AI.

Celina Zhao has a good article about it in Science.
https://www.science.org/content/article/new-preprint-server-welcomes-papers-written-and-reviewed-ai

"Says Guowei Huang, one of aiXiv’s creators, 'We should only care about quality—not who produced it.' … [Other preprint] servers, like most conferences and journals, still bar naming AI systems as authors —a stance that inadvertently pushes researchers to use AI without saying so. Huang calls that lack of transparency 'totally unacceptable.'”

New preprint: The MOND interpolating function derived geometrically from 5D spacetime.

Gravity = Newtonian component + Hubble-scale 5th dimension, adding in quadrature → ν(x) = √(1 + 1/x)

Tested on 175 SPARC galaxies. Lower χ² than both "simple" and "standard" MOND formulas.

No dark matter. No free parameters beyond a₀ = cH₀/2π.

My student did a Science!

One week from now, Denisa Arsene will present the her BSc thesis research at the 14th International Conference on Complex Networks and their Applications, held in Binghamton, New York, USA!

More details and preprint: https://latower.github.io/posts/2025/11/sana/

I'm super proud of her, and I'm super happy that I got to do this project with her and two of my former colleagues from Leiden University: Rachel de Jong and Frank Takes!
