Measurement of the top quark pair production cross section in PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}$ = 5.36 TeV

The inclusive cross section for top quark pair ($t\bar{t}$) production in lead-lead (PbPb) collisions is reported for the first time at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.36\TeV. The analysis uses data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.58 $nb^{-1}$ collect...

Climate and dengue synchronization in southern Brazil: a municipal analysis with cross-state validation

Dengue transmission is rapidly expanding beyond its historical tropical range, raising concerns about how climate change may alter the collective dynamics of epidemics. While most studies focus on transmission risk, much less is known about how climate affects the synchronization...

Twist-3 transverse momentum dependent gluon distributions in a spectator model

Abstract We study the twist-3 transverse momentum dependent distributions of gluons in a nucleon within a spectator model framework. In this model, the nucleon is described as emitting a virtual (time-like) gluon and an on-shell spectator particle, with the spectator mass treated...

FLRSP: privacy-preserving federated learning using randomly selected model parameters

In this paper, the authors propose a method for privacy-preserving federated learning (FL) that uses randomly selected model parameters to update global models. High-quality deep neural network models require a huge amount of training data in general, but model training raises pr...

The major cluster merger in Abell 2034 as seen by XRISM: Strong turbulence and spectral anomalies?

XRISM observations to date have shown that gas kinetic pressures in the intracluster medium (ICM) tend towards the low end of predictions from cosmological simulations. Here, we present a XRISM observation of the merging cluster Abell 2034, which exhibits the broadest emission li...

Anisotropy of Satellite Galaxies. I. Contrasting Correlations with Central Galaxy, Host Halo, and Large-scale Filament Structures

Abstract Using the SIMBA, EAGLE, and IllustrisTNG-100 galaxy formation simulations, we examine the anisotropy of the satellite distribution and its dependencies on central galaxies, host halos, and cosmic filaments. We find that in all simulations, the satellite anisotropy is rob...

Self-consistent vertex corrected GW with static and dynamic screening using tensor hypercontraction: Assessment of molecular charged excitations

We investigate self-consistent vertex corrections to the GW self-energy for ionization potentials (IPs) and electron affinities (EAs). We benchmark IPs against ΔCCSD(T) references in the G0W0Γ29 and GW100 sets and compare GW100 EAs with EOM-CCSD references. Because many anions ar...

A Minimal Self-Perceiving Embodiment for Large Language Models

Large language models occupy no physical space and cannot verify whether their outputs have landed in the physical world. We present a minimal hardware-software architecture that enables an LLM to perceive a shared environment, express within it, and receive the physical conseque...

On the simplicity of de Sitter correlators

A bstract Motivated by recent evidence that equal-time correlators can be simpler than the corresponding wavefunction coefficients, we study de Sitter correlators in conformally coupled ϕ 3 theory directly. By inverting the momentum-space dressing rules, we derive a time integral...

Exploring the Intersection of Cognitive Load Theory, Cognitive Sciences, and Neuroscience in Construction Safety: A Systematic Literature Review and a Conceptual Framework

Abstract The construction industry faces high injury and fatality rates due to human errors from cognitive overload, attention deficits, and stress. This review synthesizes the intersection of cognitive load theory (CLT), the cognitive sciences (CS), and neuroscience to enhance s...

The abundance and radial distribution of faint and ultra-faint dwarfs in galaxy clusters

Abstract Cosmological simulations of galaxy clusters are unable to resolve dwarf galaxies due to limited numerical resolution which drives the artificial disruption of dark matter substructures. We address these limitations by combining the results of the cosmological hydrodynami...

Public Acceptance, Trust, and Self-Efficacy Related to Drone-Assisted Emergency Medical Response in Louisiana

OBJECTIVES Drones can deliver automated external defibrillators and other emergency supplies to bystanders before an ambulance arrives, but their public-health value depends on whether the public accepts, trusts, and feels able to use them. This study examined public acceptance o...

Locality Dilution Law

From the Bandwidth Collapse Theorem to Locality Dilution and Bandwidth Collapse This work represents the rigorous evolution of the original Bandwidth Collapse Theorem. The earlier formulation identified a fundamental phenomenon in hierarchical interconnects: as a system grows, an...

De‐Novo Designed Antibacterial N95 Facial Mask: Comprising a Nano‐Garden Using ZnO Nanoflower

ABSTRACT Nowadays the N95 facial mask has gained huge attention due to COVID19 pandemic situation and it serves as the prime PPE. Though the microbes can be restricted to get inside the human body due to the presence of mask temporarily, but over the time, bacteria and other micr...

Secondary prevention of cancer therapy-induced thrombocytopenia with hetrombopag in breast cancer: a multicenter, randomized, exploratory phase II trial

Abstract Background: Cancer therapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CTIT) is a common complication of anti-tumor therapy, leading to treatment delays or interruptions, increased bleeding risk and compromised outcomes. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety o...

From regular to random: a unifying framework for step-pool spacing

Abstract. Steep streams frequently display a distinctive step-pool structure where water crests over a near-vertical drop and plunges into a deeper depression in a repeated pattern. Because they naturally moderate the flow of water and sediment in hazardous mountain catchments, s...

Multi-model high-resolution analysis of Tropical-Like Cyclone Daniel with WRF and ICON: peculiarities and sensitivity to convection schemes

Abstract. Medicane Daniel (September 2023) featured a rapid transition from a baroclinic disturbance to a compact tropical-like vortex, challenging short-range prediction. This study delivers a side-by-side, high-resolution (∼2 km) assessment of Daniel using two state of the art...

Updating the holomorphic modular bootstrap

A bstract We update the holomorphic modular bootstrap incorporating a recent result that computes the exact S -matrix within the Modular Linear Differential Equation (MLDE) setting. Further, using knowledge of the allowed exponents modulo one, we obtain admissible solutions to al...

Constraining new physics in charm quark associated Higgs boson production events using the Standard Model effective field theory approach

A bstract As the search for observable deviations from the Standard Model of particle physics remains to be of significant interest, effective field theory (EFT) continues to be a popular method to parametrize such effects. In this work, a first-time investigation is performed of...
