Large‐scale nuclear and plastid phylogenomic analyses inform an updated Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification: APG V

Abstract We present here a revision of the APG classification that considers the extensive recent analyses of hundreds of nuclear and plastid genes for many angiosperm species. Although previous versions of the APG classification were largely based on uniparentally inherited mark...

Construction method for topological integration of multi-scale datasets supported by a primal-dual data structure

Spatial datasets covering the same area often exist as separate layers, which differ in scale and source. The spatial relations between matching features located at different layers can be retrieved through a computationally demanding process based on geometry and other propertie...

Flow boiling characteristics of R1233zd(E) in a horizontal square channel for fuel cell thermal management systems

Thermal management is a key challenge in developing aviation fuel-cell-based propulsion systems. However, comprehensive thermal–hydraulic studies for new low-global-warming-potential fluids remain limited under the low-pressure operating conditions and millimetric geometries rele...

The Unbearable Lightness of Prompting. A Critical Reflection on the Environmental Impact of genAI use in Design Education

Design educators are finding ways to support students in skillfully using GenAI tools in their practices while encouraging the critical scrutiny of the ethical and social issues around these technologies. However, the issue of environmental sustainability remains unaddressed. The...

Tunable Kondo Behavior in a Bilayer Graphene Quantum Channel

Abstract The interaction between itinerant electrons and localized spins is key to a wide range of electronic phenomena. We present conductance measurements of a quantum point contact (QPC) in bilayer graphene (BLG). Beyond the expected quantized conductance plateaus reflecting s...

Strategies for time-resolved cryogenic electrontomography of transient cellular processes

Cryogenic electron tomography provides molecular-scale information from frozen-hydrated cells and tissues, with each tomogram representing a selected cellular volume at the time of vitrification. Time-resolved cryo-ET aims to build structural descriptions of cellular processes by...

Control design for floating wind turbines: a novel feedback control structure

The generator speed feedback control of onshore wind turbines, via the pitch controller to feather the blades, is well established, but employing the same controller gains with floating offshore wind turbines causes the turbines to become unstable. Such instability is attributed...

Passive control of shock-wave/turbulent boundary-layer interaction with convergent–divergent riblets

The effects of convergent–divergent (C–D) riblets on an impinging shock-wave/turbulent boundary-layer interaction (STBLI) at Mach 2.0 are investigated using wall-resolved large-eddy simulation. A smooth-wall baseline and two riblet cases with different heights are considered, wit...

Laplace Transforms of Solutions for a Radial Advection–Diffusion Equation to Simulate Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage

Abstract The radial advection–diffusion equation with thermal conductivity plays a role at the injection of warm water in aquifers. In this paper we generalize the well-known solutions of solute transport at a fully screened injection well by taking into account molecular diffusi...

Directional Dependence of Gas Dispersion in Carbonates and Sandstones

Abstract This study investigates the directional dependence of gas dispersion in porous media with varying lithology and macroscopic heterogeneity. Eight rock samples, including three carbonates and five sandstones, were examined through CH4–CO2 core-flooding experiments at 300 p...

Enabling Evolutionary Therapy in metastatic cancer lacking serum biomarkers

Evolutionary therapy (ET) aims to anticipate and steer tumor evolution by adjusting treatment timing and dosing, often to control rather than eradicate tumor burden. Clinical use requires reliable monitoring of tumor dynamics to inform mathematical models that guide therapy. In c...

Exploring road users’ perceptions of fatbikes and riders’ behaviours in the Netherlands: Implications for public acceptability

Fatbikes, electric fat-tire bicycles, are increasingly visible in the Netherlands. Although fatbikes are classified within the broader electric bicycle (e-bike) category, fatbikes may be perceived as a distinct and riskier mobility mode than conventional e-bikes. As this percepti...

Data-driven perimeter control: A Zürich case study

Urban traffic congestion is a key challenge for the development of modern cities, requiring advanced control techniques to optimize existing infrastructure usage. Despite the extensive availability of data, modeling such complex systems remains an expensive and time-consuming ste...

Participation builds trust, not framing: insights from a national energy-transition experiment

Institutional trust is a critical determinant of public cooperation in the energy transition, yet little is known about how different framings of government communication influence trust in practice. This study reports results from a large-scale national experiment (N ≈ 3000) emb...

A Deep BSDE Approach for the Simultaneous Pricing and Delta-Gamma Hedging of Large Portfolios Consisting of High-Dimensional Multi-asset Bermudan Options

Abstract. A deep BSDE approach is presented for the pricing and delta-gamma hedging of high-dimensional Bermudan options with applications in portfolio risk management. Large portfolios of a mixture of multi-asset European and Bermudan derivatives are cast into the framework of d...

Training to Protect Research Integrity in the Age of AI-assisted Coding

Poster presented at the 10th Research Software Engineering Conference (RSECon26) in Sheffield, UK, 9-11 September, 2026. Abstract The use of generative AI tools to generate source code or to augment a programmer's own code is ever more widespread in research software development....

Localized Covariant Quantities Appear to Underlie Quantum Circuits

Although entangled state vectors cannot be fully described in terms of variables localized in space and time, any given entanglement experiment can be built from basic quantum circuit components with well-defined locations. We analyze such quantum circuits and present evidence th...

Complex interpolation of power-weighted Sobolev spaces with boundary conditions

We characterise the complex interpolation spaces of weighted vector-valued Sobolev spaces with and without boundary conditions on the half-space and on smooth bounded domains. The weights we consider are power weights that measure the distance to the boundary and do not necessari...
