The Physicality of Logic: The Structural Inapplicability of Incompleteness, Undecidability, and Computational Complexity Gaps to Finite Physical Domains

Three foundational results of twentieth-century mathematical logic — Gödel's incompleteness theorems, Turing's undecidability of the halting problem, and the P vs NP complexity gap — have been widely taken to impose permanent limitations on what a physical theory can achieve. Thi...

The design, development of a solar powered adsorption cooling system for Indian conditions

Abstract Adsorption cooling systems have drawn a lot of attention in recent decades because they seem promise in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and ozone layer depletion issues. The system performance is greatly impacted by the operating conditions and the thermos physical cha...

Emotional stress detection using facial thermal imaging

Abstract Thermal imaging is a noninvasive method for assessing psychological states. This paper examines the features of physiological responses to emotional stress and their detection by thermal imaging. The correlations between thermal patterns and stress markers (cortical leve...

Pipe-soil interaction for free-spanning pipelines subjected to in-line VIV: Geotechnical centrifuge testing on natural carbonate silty sand

This paper presents an experimental investigation of pipe–soil interaction using geotechnical centrifuge modelling. The tests simulated the response of rigid pipe ‘elements’ at free-span ‘shoulders’ subjected to horizontal cyclic loading representative of pipeline movements durin...

A shell-to-shell cohesive line element for efficient modeling of interfacial cracking in overmolded stiffened panels

The growing use of thermoplastics in lightweight structures requires efficient numerical methods to predict debonding in overmolded parts. In this work, a novel structural cohesive element is proposed as an efficient alternative to conventional cohesive elements for modeling debo...

Universal modular properties of generalized Gibbs ensembles and chiral deformations

A bstract We study modular properties of conformal field theories perturbed by holomorphic fields. We prove an asymptotic formula for the modular S-transform of a generalized partition function that includes zero modes of higher spin holomorphic currents. The derivation makes use...

Impacts of droughts on biomass burning emissions, air quality, and public health in the Amazon

Abstract. Wildfires in the Amazon, increasingly influenced by climate variability and anthropogenic activities, pose severe environmental and health challenges. While drought events amplify fire activity and emissions, the cascading effects of droughts and deforestation on air qu...

Tame Symmetric Algebras of Period Four with Small Gabriel Quivers

The tame symmetric algebras of period four, TSP4 algebras for short, form an important class of algebras, with interesting connections to various branches of modern algebra. The study of this class has been recently developed in two major directions. The first embraces new classe...

Measuring beliefs about the malleability of mindfulness skills: Validation of the Turkish version of the mindfulness mindset scale

A B S T R A C THeterogeneity in the effects of mindfulness-based interventions points to the potential role of individual belief structures in shaping intervention outcomes. One candidate construct is beliefs about the trainability of mindfulness skills. The present study adapted...

Cerium isotopic behavior during gabbro weathering in a tropical climate

Cerium (Ce) is a redox-sensitive element, making it an effective tracer for continental weathering processes. To elucidate mechanisms of Ce isotopic fractionation during chemical weathering processes, we analyzed Ce isotopic compositions across a well-developed latosol profile de...

Environmental nitrogen losses in winter wheat across yield zones under long-term precipitation variability

Nitrogen (N) loss dynamics from winter wheat in humid agroecosystems remain uncertain due to variability in soil characteristics across yield zones and high interannual precipitation variability. We hypothesized that dominant N loss pathways vary significantly across yield zones,...

Observers exhibit greater caution and faster evidence accumulation when identifying joint versus individual actions

Coordination requires anticipating and adapting to others' actions in real time. While research has shown that observers predict observed solo actions, little is known about how predictive processes change when observing joint actions. We tested whether, for joint actions, observ...

In the wake of extreme heat: equitable urban heat planning for residential buildings

Extreme heat is invisible, deadly, and its threat is shaped through dominant approaches of urban planning and development. In this study we asked ‘how is equity considered within cities' responses to extreme heat for residential buildings'. Using the City of Burnaby as a case stu...

Ancestral hydrocarbon metabolism enables PET degradation by a natural bacterial consortium

ABSTRACT Plastic biodegradation in natural environments is increasingly recognized as a multi-organism process, yet the mechanisms enabling coordinated depolymerization and metabolism of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) remain poorly understood. Previously, we demonstrated that a...

Technoeconomic assessment of an Allam-cycle-based oxygen storage system under market-driven operation

This work presents a technoeconomic assessment of an Allam cycle–based energy storage system, evaluated under Spanish electricity market conditions, where oxygen is produced, stored, and later used to decouple power generation from air separation. The analysis compares two config...

Quantifying the Effects of Aerosol Size Distribution on Variations in Single Scattering Albedo

Abstract Aerosol optical properties, closely linked to complex physicochemical processes, critically influence climate and environmental impacts. However, quantitative links between particle size and the changing of scattering and absorption remain insufficiently constrained. Usi...

Managing Cultural Tourism and Heritage Sites in Urban Areas—Application of Q-Analysis to Europe

Tourism is a complex economic activity shaped by distinct local resources: culture, nature, industrial heritage, urban ambiance, place-based uniqueness, and geographical accessibility. The simultaneous governance and management of economic growth motives, preservation of the cult...

Entropy maximization and weak Gibbsianity of quasi-free fermionic states

Abstract In their 1972 study of approach to equilibrium, Lanford and Robinson showed that gauge-invariant quasi-free states of lattice fermions maximize entropy among all translation-invariant states with a fixed two-point function and suggested that the maximizer is unique. In s...

Brush-mediated angular constraints reshape structure, rigidity, and percolation in colloidal depletion gels

Colloidal gels, like many other soft and disordered solids derive their mechanical properties not only from the strength of interparticle attraction but also from the symmetry of the forces that constrain particle motion. Although noncentral interactions are known to profoundly a...
