Machine Learning on Heterogeneous, Edge, and Quantum Hardware for Particle Physics

The next generation of particle physics experiments will face an era of challenges in data acquisition, due to unprecedented data rates and volumes along with extreme environments and operational constraints. Harnessing these data for scientific discovery demands real-time infere...

Mapping Hydrogen Sulfide Biosynthesis and Oxidation Pathways in Placental Health and Disease: a Scoping Review

Abstract Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) plays an important role in placental function. Its bioavailability depends on the balance between enzymatic synthesis by cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE/ CTH) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST/ MPST ), and...

SPHERE-MS: Hybrid Fragment–Vocabulary Modeling for Accurate and Efficient Tandem Mass Spectra Prediction

Abstract Identifying known compounds and elucidating unknown chemical structures from mass spectra remains a significant challenge due to the limited size of experimental reference libraries. Enhancing these libraries with predicted mass spectra through computational methods offe...

Technical note: A physically based correction of WRF temperature using atmospheric lapse rates for high-resolution hydrological simulations in a glacierized catchment

Abstract. High-elevation alpine catchments are particularly affected by the global rise in temperature. Understanding the drivers of climate-induced changes in the hydrological response of these catchments in the past is relevant for developing future adaptation strategies for wa...

Are Citizens Inoculated by Past Democratic Backsliding?

Across the world, elected governments are dismantling the liberal democracies they inherited. Can these democratic backsliding episodes inoculate citizens into liberal democrats vigilant against future relapses? Because scholars have yet to resolve this puzzle, we lack crucial in...

Anatomy and mechanics of tsetse fly blood feeding

Abstract African trypanosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease transmitted by tsetse flies ( Glossin a spp.) in sub-Saharan Africa. The fly’s saliva carries parasitic unicellular trypanosomes, such as Trypanosoma brucei , leading to infections in humans, domestic animals, and w...

Bayesian Ambiguity-Contraction-Based Adaptive Robust Markov Decision Processes for Adversarial Surveillance Missions

Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCAs) are envisioned to enable autonomous intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions in contested environments, where adversaries may act strategically to deceive or evade detection. These missions pose challenges due to model unc...

Accurately modeling long-term storage with minimum representative hours in large-scale renewable energy systems

Energy system optimization often relies on time series aggregation to ensure computational tractability. Aggregation generally loses the chronology of time steps, which renders the storage level representation challenging. Typically, this challenge is addressed by using represent...

Free Energy and Diffusivity in the Fokker–Planck Theory of Polymer Translocation

Abstract A robust theoretical framework describing polymer translocation through nanopores is important for developing novel applications of nanopore technology in single-molecule characterization of biological and synthetic polymers. In this work, we revisit the Fokker–Planck ba...

Bang–Bang Evasion: Its Stochastic Optimality and a Terminal-Set-Based Implementation

We address the problem of optimal evasion in a planar endgame engagement, where a target with bounded lateral acceleration seeks to avoid interception by a missile guided by a linear feedback law. Contrary to existing approaches that assume perfect information or use heuristic ma...

From Representation to Enactment: The ABC Framework of the Translating Mind

Building on the third-wave extended-mind (EM) theory and radical enactivism, this article suggests a novel view on the translating mind. We build on the ABC framework, in which translation is not understood as the manipulation of static interlingual correspondences but an enacted...

Enhanced superconductivity at quantum-critical KTaO3 interfaces

Superconductivity at oxide interfaces has intrigued researchers for decades, yet the underlying pairing mechanism remains elusive. Here we demonstrate that proximity to a ferroelectric quantum critical point dramatically enhances interfacial superconductivity in KTaO3. By precise...

Enhanced coherence in the periodically driven two-dimensional XY model

Strong optical drives have been shown to induce transient superconducting-like response in materials above their equilibrium $T_c$. Many of these materials already exhibit short-range superconducting correlations in equilibrium. This motivates the question: can external driving e...

Boundedness of polarized log Calabi–Yau fibrations with bounded bases

We investigate the boundedness problem for log Calabi–Yau fibrations whose bases and general fibers are bounded. We prove that the total spaces of log Calabi–Yau fibrations are bounded in codimension one after fixing some natural invariants, which confirms a conjecture of Birkar...

Spin current generation controlled by the Néel state in a compensated ferrimagnet

Compensated ferrimagnets, which break sublattice and time-reversal symmetries in the ground state, exhibit an isotropic ferromagnet-like spin splitting despite a vanishing net magnetization, in contrast to altermagnets with momentum-dependent spin splitting. We investigate how is...

Constrained bilinear optimal control of reactive evolution equations

We consider constrained bilinear optimal control of second-order linear evolution partial differential equations (PDEs) with a reaction term on the half line, where control arises as a time-dependent reaction coefficient and constraints are imposed on the state and control variab...

DynamicVis: Dynamic visual perception for efficient remote sensing foundation models

The continuous advancement of remote sensing technology has enabled high-resolution Earth observation; however, interpreting these expansive images using modern Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) remains a significant challenge. Unlike object-centric natural images, remote sensing i...

Subvarieties of low degree on general hypersurfaces

Abstract The purpose of this note is to show that the subvarieties of small degree inside a general hypersurface of large degree come from intersecting with linear spaces or other varieties. This partially generalizes a theorem of Wu.

Constraining self-interacting scalar field dark matter with strong gravitational lensing in cluster scale?

We present a method to investigate the properties of solitonic cores in the Thomas-Fermi regime under the self-interacting scalar field dark matter framework. Using semi-analytical techniques, we characterize soliton signatures through their density profiles, gravitational lensin...

Minimal volume entropy of mapping tori over 3-manifolds

Abstract We prove that the minimal volume entropy of mapping tori over oriented closed smooth 3-manifolds vanishes. Our approach uses a variation of the amenable category and a suitable version of the minimal volume entropy of a homology class introduced by Babenko and Sabourau.
