Minimum Support Augmentation in Chordal Graphical Models

Given an observed support in a finite Cartesian table, we minimize the number of distinct new cells needed to make every maximal-clique projection of a chordal graphical model surjective. For a clique path, the missing clique configurations form a partially ordered set, and the m...

Undeclared Delegation: Human Agency Under AI-Directed Goals

A person who repeatedly asks an AI system what to do next, approves its recommendations, and carries them out can retain authorization over every individual action while losing informed, effective authority over the purpose those actions collectively serve. This paper calls that...

Wettability Alteration of Coals with Different Coal Ranks Induced by Fluorocarbon Surfactant FS-61

Abstract Coal wettability strongly influences coalbed methane (CBM) recovery and water-block damage in coal reservoirs. Wettability reversal from hydrophilic to hydrophobic is therefore an effective approach for improving CBM production. In this study, low-rank long-flame coal, m...

Trust in complex task environments: results of an agent-based simulation on incomplete contracts

Purpose Incentive contracts often do not govern all task elements for which a subordinate is responsible. In these situations, trust among the contracting parties is crucial for the effort the subordinate exerts on non-contracted task elements. This paper aims to examine the emer...

Comprehensive Investigation of Structural, Electrical, and Magnetic Properties of Dy2CoIrO6: A 3d–5d–4f Heterotri-Spin System

Abstract In this work, we present a comprehensive investigation of the structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of Dy2CoIrO6, a 3d–5d–4f heterotri-spin system. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms a distorted monoclinic crystal structure (space group: P21/n) with slight ant...

Typical Pore Characteristics of Nontectonic and Tectonic Low-Rank Lignite in Mining Areas and Their Influence on Gas Desorption

Abstract Pore characteristics determine the control mechanism of gas adsorption and desorption in the coal bodies. The fundamental investigation into microscopic pore structures and adsorption–desorption characteristics of long-flame coal represents necessary support for the safe...

Epistemic Hidden Defects in Artificial Intelligence: Classical ʿIlal al-Ḥadīth as a Framework for AI Verification

This working paper examines whether the classical methodology of ʿilal al-Ḥadīth—the detection of hidden defects in apparently sound reports—can provide a useful conceptual framework for evaluating artificial-intelligence outputs in specialist knowledge environments. It develops...

Anomalous EL–PL Lifetime Inversion in Silicon Quantum-Dot Light-Emitting Diodes

Abstract Diamond-cubic silicon is a promising quantum-dot material for sustainable optoelectronics owing to its abundance, nontoxicity, and size-tunable photoluminescence (PL). However, silicon quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (Si-QLEDs) suffer from severe efficiency roll-off at...

The Thermodynamic and Financial Reality of AI Power Starvation: Rider's Bremsstrahlung Limit in Pulsed D-3He Fusion, Tokamak REBCO Supply-Chain Scaling, PJM/FERC Queue Bottlenecks, and Hyperscale Stranded-CapEx Risk

By 2026, generative artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure expansion has collided with hard physical and grid-regulatory walls. International Energy Agency (IEA) projections indicate global data center electricity consumption surging from 460 TWh (2024) to > 1,000 TWh by 203...

Preemptive Grid De-Energization and the Silicon Valley Blackout Paradox: Santa Ana / Diablo Katabatic Wind-Arc Ignition Mechanics, Inverse Condemnation Liability, Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), and Sovereign Quantum-Phononic Microgrid Autonomy

A stark civilizational paradox defines California's technology ecosystem: the global epicenter of frontier artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing—Silicon Valley and the broader California coastal corridor—is physically tethered to an aging, uninsulated overhead electr...

Condensation Sink Efficiency of Atmospheric Particles Regulated by Their Chemical Compositions and Hygroscopicity

Abstract Condensation sink (CS) from atmospheric pre-existing particles is a crucial limiting factor for the occurrence of new particle formation (NPF). However, intense NPF events occur frequently in polluted urban areas despite high CS levels. Here, to address this discrepancy,...

Gravity Probe B Measured the Wrong Angle: The Equatorial Nature of Gravitomagnetic Coupling and Its Consequences for Dark Matter

Gravity Probe B measured the wrong angle. The mission was an experimental triumph: it confirmed that the local inertial frame is dragged by the rotating Earth, at the level of 37 ± 7 milliarcseconds per year. The measurement established the existence of the gravitomagnetic coupli...

Parallax · Twin Tales No. 8 — The Last Pupil · The Summit

A pair of short stories from Parallax · Twin Tales, which stage one real dilemma twice: Here, in the world as it is, with invented people in real rooms; There, in the world of Vision Come True, a future that split from ours in 2024 and never emerged. Here, in Geneva, a fact-check...

Tuning Second-Sphere Amine Basicity to Modulate Hydride Intermediates and Selectivity in Molecular Manganese Bipyridine CO2 Electroreduction

Abstract Manganese bipyridine tricarbonyl complexes represent a prominent class of molecular electrocatalysts for efficient and selective CO2-to-CO conversion. Recent efforts have sought to redirect product selectivity toward HCOOH by incorporating second-sphere amine proton rela...

Silent Mutation Misclassification and Unrecorded Covalent Bonds in the Protein Data Bank

Sequence differences between deposited macromolecular models and their UniProt references are recorded in the mmCIF category _struct_ref_seq_dif, and intentional substitutions are expected to populate _entity_poly.pdbx_mutation, the field that structured queries read. When a subs...

The Equatorial Nature of Gravitomagnetic Coupling: A Quantitative Analysis of the g_tφ Interface

Gravity Probe B measured the wrong angle. The mission was an experimental triumph: it confirmed that the local inertial frame is dragged by the rotating Earth, at the level of 37 ± 7 milliarcseconds per year. The measurement established the existence of the gravitomagnetic coupli...
