Spectral Learning and Inverse Design of Broadband Infrared Absorbers
Abstract Designing broadband metamaterial absorbers with high absorption over a wide spectral range remains a significant challenge. Here, we develop an integrated simulation and machine-learning framework for the rapid modeling and design of broadband metamaterial absorbers. Ele...

What makes a good early childhood graduate?
With the Government reforming how early years teachers are trained and assessed, Prof Verity Campbell-Barr and Dr Sam Hoyes ask how we quantify good graduate practice, using the recently updated graduate practitioner competencies framework to break it down

Integrating HAPS, LEO, and terrestrial networks: A cost-performance study for IoT connectivity
Background High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are emerging as alternative or complementary solutions for extending Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, particularly in areas where terrestrial infrastructure is sparse, unavailable, or tem...

Reflections on Exchange Injustice in Generative Relational Systems
An exchange can improve a person's position while placing unjustified demands on that person. Historical inquiry helps explain this possibility, yet a background wrong also requires a specified connection to the bargain under assessment. This paper develops a bounded transmission...
- Physics & SpaceOpen access
This paper examines whether strong gravitational disturbances can destabilize compact coherence configurations in General Coherence Field Theory (GCFT). Within the tested minimal structure, transverse-traceless forcing of a spherical background has vanishing monopole overlap and...

Machining the Archive: [re]coding cultural memory — Development I
This short piece sets out a fictive case-study and a set of possible worlds that centre upon it in order to demonstrate the difficulty of disambiguating ignorance (information that exists or existed but is unavailable) from indeterminacy (there is no fact apt to the question) in...

The Sunshine Coast of southern British Columbia, Canada, is extensively populated by Himalayan blackberries ( Rubus armeniacus ), a species introduced to North America in the late nineteenth century. In their coexistence with other species, humans often categorize nonhuman life f...

Abstract Do American voters of East Asian immigrant backgrounds decide their vote choice based on international issues related to their home countries, or are immigrant-dense communities focused on domestic issues like most American voters? We evaluate these questions using two s...

Self-praising, praise-seeking, and other-praising: motivations and strategies of the Kuakua genre
Abstract In this study, we investigate the Kuakua (夸夸 ‘praise’) genre, an innovative internet linguistic phenomenon found on Chinese social media, using data collected from various social media platforms. We demonstrate that, different from similar speech acts of compliment/pra...

Predicting Radioiodine Therapy Response in Advanced and Recurrent Thyroid Cancer
Radioiodine therapy of differentiated thyroid cancer is effective and possibly curative in patients with metastatic lesions that retain iodine avidity. However, in clinical practice, iodine avidity in any metastatic site is usually unknown at the point of initial treatment. Avidi...
