We here investigate the observational viability of Nash gravity as an alternative to the standard $Λ$CDM cosmology. Based on Nash's embedding theorem, the model introduces orthogonal perturbations via variations in the extrinsic curvature, generating scalar-type metric perturbations directly from geometry, without the need to...
Physician burnout in the United States has reached critical levels, driven in part by the administrative burden of Electronic Health Record (EHR) documentation and complex diagnostic codes. To relieve this strain and maintain strict patient privacy, this thesis explores an on-device, offline automatic medical coding system. The work...
We introduce a new method of generating Computer Aided Design (CAD) profiles via a sequence of simple geometric constructions including curve offsetting, rotations and intersections. These sequences start with geometry provided by a designer and build up the points and curves of the final profile step by step. We demonstrate that...
We study a $q$-deformed random unitary ensemble associated with the little-$q$ Laguerre weight, which provides a discrete analogue of the classical Laguerre unitary ensemble. In the double scaling regime $q=e^{-λ/N}$, where $N$ is the system size and $λ\ge 0$, we derive the limiting spectral distribution as $N\to \infty$, which yields...
This research sets forth a universal framework to characterize the beamforming gain achievable with arbitrarily nonideal phase shifters. Precisely, the maximum possible shortfall relative to the gain attainable with ideal phase shifters is established. Such shortfall is shown to be fundamentally determined by the perimeter of the...
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are off-nuclear compact objects with apparent luminosities above 10^39 erg/s, often exceeding the Eddington limit for stellar-mass black holes. Beaming is a commonly invoked mechanism to explain their extreme brightness, and the dependence of the beaming factor on accretion rate is a critical...
We investigate the structures of $^{20}$Ne in the variation of the multiple bases of the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD). In this method, the multiple AMD bases are superposed and optimized simultaneously in the total-energy variation. This scheme is beneficial for describing the various configurations in $^{20}$Ne. In the...
Accurately determining the underlying physical parameters of individual elements in integrated photonics is increasingly difficult as device architectures become more complex. Inferring these parameters directly from spectral measurements of the system as a whole provides a practical alternative to traditional calibration, allowing...
The unprecedented surge of massive Internet of things (mIoT) traffic in beyond fifth generation (B5G) communication systems calls for transformative approaches for multiple access and data transmission. While classical model-based tools have been proven to be powerful and precise, an imminent trend for resource management in B5G...
Pre-trained language models (LMs) have, over the last few years, grown substantially in both societal adoption and training costs. This rapid growth in size has constrained progress in understanding and mitigating their biases. Since re-training LMs is prohibitively expensive, most debiasing work has focused on post-hoc or...
Non-Fermi-liquid charge transport in the vicinity of electronic instabilities has been intensely studied for decades. Deviations from $ρ_{\rm FL}=ρ_0+AT^2$ in bad and strange metals are commonly ascribed to a breakdown of Landau's quasiparticle (QP) concept. Yet, it remains unclear what mechanism drives the temperature dependence of...
We study the congruence classes attained by positive integers $D$ with a prescribed period of the continued fraction of $\sqrt D$. As an application, we refine the available results on large ranks of universal quadratic forms over real quadratic fields by also imposing congruence conditions on their discriminants.
Let $A$ be the algebra $\mathbb{C}[X_1^{\pm 1},X_2^{\pm 1}]$ and $Q(A)$ its quotient field. In this short article, we exhibit the correct normalization for the toric period on the parabolically induced unramified family over $Q(A)$, so that it behaves optimally under restriction to the parabolically induced unramified family over $A$....
We propose two globally continuous neural-based variants of the Neural Approximated Virtual Element Method (NAVEM), termed B-NAVEM and P-NAVEM. Both approaches construct local basis functions using pre-trained fully connected neural networks while ensuring exact continuity across adjacent mesh elements. B-NAVEM leverages a...
Experimental robot optimization often requires evaluating each candidate policy for seconds to minutes. The chosen evaluation time influences optimization because of a speed-accuracy tradeoff: shorter evaluations enable faster iteration, but are also more subject to noise. Here, we introduce a supplement to the CMA-ES optimization...
The pseudocomplex version of the FLRW model is presented within the framework of pseudocomplex General Relativity (pcGR). In this approach, dark energy arises as a geometric consequence of the pseudocomplex structure, leading to a time dependent Hubble parameter rather than a strictly constant H0. The relation between the tiderived...
In this paper we study some relationships between the first Dirichlet eigenvalue $Λ(Ω)$ and the torsional rigidity $T(Ω)$ of a domain $Ω$. We consider the problem of optimizing the product $Λ(Ω)T(Ω)$ among sets with prescribed perimeter, both in the class of open sets with finite perimeter and within the class of convex domains. We...
We have realized submicron tunnel ferromagnetic Al/AlO$_x$/Al/Ni$_{80}$Fe$_{20}$/Al Josephson junctions (JJs) in Manhattan-style configuration for qubit applications. These junctions have been designed to lie within the energy range of transmons. The current-voltage characteristics of these junctions are comparable with those of...
While delegating tasks to large language models (LLMs) can save people time, there is growing evidence that offloading tasks to such models produces social costs. We use behavior in two canonical economic games to study whether people have different expectations when decisions are made by LLMs acting on their behalf instead of...
Augmented Reality (AR) is a powerful perceptual technology that can alter what users see, hear, feel, and experience throughout their daily lives. When combined with the speed and flexibility of context-aware generative AI, the power is greatly expanded, allowing individual users to be targeted with custom-generated AR experiences...
We introduce the genuine multipartite Rains entanglement (GMRE) as a measure of genuine multipartite entanglement that can be computed using semi-definite programming. Similar to the Rains relative entropy (its bipartite counterpart), the GMRE is monotone under selective quantum operations that completely preserve the positivity of...
The rapid spread of large language models (LLMs) has raised concerns about the social reactions they provoke. Prior research documents negative attitudes toward AI users, but it remains unclear whether such disapproval translates into costly action. We address this question in a two-phase online experiment (N = 491 Phase II...
In this paper, we investigate birational toric morphisms between quantum toric stacks -- namely, toric (analytic) stacks associated with fans whose cones may be irrational -- focusing on two primary classes of examples: weighted blow-ups with arbitrary weights, and morphisms induced by cobordisms.
Recent research suggests that looped Transformers have superior reasoning capabilities compared to standard deep architectures. Current approaches to training single-head looped architectures on benchmark tasks frequently fail or yield suboptimal performance due to a highly non-convex and irregular loss landscape. In these settings,...
We present observations of jets within 2000 au of three deeply embedded protostars using 2.9-27 micron observations with JWST. These observations show the morphologies and kinematics of the collimated jets from three protostars, the low-mass Class 0 protostars B335 and HOPS 153, and the intermediate-mass protostar HOPS 370. These jets...
