Ethodynamics: Dose–Response Regularities of Opinion Formation in Language Models and AI Search

What an AI system says about the world depends on what it has been exposed to: the text it was trained on and the pages it retrieves when it answers. Both can be written by anyone. Yet there is no quantitative account of how exposure shapes machine behaviour: how much text, of wh...

RAG-ReAct empowered large language models for localized intelligent bridge operation and maintenance: a knowledge-driven agentic approach

Bridges serve as critical transportation infrastructure hubs. The recent breakthroughs in large language models (LLMs) offer transformative potential for intelligent bridge operation and maintenance (O&M), but their direct application is hindered by domain-specific hallucination,...

RootQuant held-out test set: maize and soybean minirhizotron images with manually traced root length and root surface area

A lack of high-throughput phenotyping solutions for root traits in field-grown crops has severely constrained understanding and improvement of below-ground traits and processes. Minirhizotrons are the standard non-destructive root-phenotyping method in field environments. Compute...

How to verify a Google or Clutch rating before you hire an agency

A short checklist for verifying any agency star rating on Google or Clutch: open the original profile, check the review count as well as the average, read the low ratings first, look at dates and reviewer names, and compare platforms. Written by Juris Digital, which collects its...

Establishment, Implementation, and Sustainability of Digital Dentistry in Dental Schools

ABSTRACT Digital dentistry technology and its workflows offer important benefits, including advancements in patient care and diagnostic capabilities. Dental schools have been adopting and integrating these advanced technologies into their educational and patient care practices. T...

Improving fintech services through human–machine interactions: user anthropomorphic perception through an affordance lens

Purpose This study investigates how technology features influence anthropomorphic perceptions among users, focusing on interactive technology such as interactive voice response (IVR). By employing a sociotechnical framework, the study emphasises the role of design affordances in...

Time-of-Use Pricing Enhances Vehicle-to-Grid Benefits for Power Systems and Vehicle Owners but May Undermine Decarbonization

Abstract Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is an important flexibility management technology for lower-carbon transport and the electricity grid. However, its effectiveness relies on the temporal alignment between the price incentives and grid dynamics. To overcome the challenge of coordinat...

Implementing Blockchain transparency and data provenance

This record contains the presentation delivered by TRACEWINDU project partners at the TRACEWINDU Final Conference — "Traçabilité de l'industrie du vin grâce à un étiquetage intelligent, la spécificité du produit, l'aspect sanitaire et les aspects organoleptiques" — held in Pau, F...

A Dispersant‐Driven Carbon‐Binder Domains Homogeneity in High‐Energy‐Density Electrodes for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Achieving high energy density in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) requires electrodes with a high fraction of active materials. An extreme reduction of inactive components such as conductive additives and binders can limit electron transport and undermine electrode integrity, thereby...

EBV-driven Gate–License–Amplify circuit in multiple sclerosis pathogenesis

Five recent publications establish a “Gate–License–Amplify” circuit that mechanistically links Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection and genetic risk (HLA-DR15) to the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 This new model reveals how EBV reprograms immunopeptidom...

A Survey of Distributed Asynchronous Many-Task Models and Their Applications

Asynchronous many-task (AMT) runtime systems have become an important paradigm for expressing fine-grained parallelism and managing asynchrony in high-performance computing (HPC). Originating from early dataflow concepts, AMTs have evolved to enable dynamic task generation, expli...

SkipOPU: An FPGA-based Overlay Processor for Large Language Models with Dynamically Allocated Computation

Large language models (LLMs), particularly decoder-only models with auto-regressive decoding, have achieved remarkable performance across a wide range of tasks, but their inference efficiency remains a critical bottleneck due to rapidly growing parameters and memory-bound generat...
