In this paper, we investigate a fluid antenna relay (FAR)-assisted communication system with hybrid relaying scheme selection. By leveraging statistical channel state information (CSI) and distribution characteristics of fluid antenna system (FAS), we approximate the outage probability (OP) with different relaying schemes utilizing a...
Conditions are established for rank three partial isometries to have circular components contained in their Kippenhahn curves. In particular, such matrices with circular numerical ranges are described. It is also established that the Gau-Wang-Wu conjecture holds for matrices under consideration.
Individual Differential Privacy (iDP) promises users control over their privacy, but this promise can be broken in practice. We reveal a previously overlooked vulnerability in sampling-based iDP mechanisms: while conforming to the iDP guarantees, an individual's privacy risk is not solely governed by their own privacy budget, but...
Training AI models in cybersecurity with help of vast datasets offers significant opportunities to mimic real-world behaviors effectively. However, challenges like data drift and scarcity of labelled data lead to frequent updates of models and the risk of overfitting. To address these challenges, we used parameter-efficient...
Recently there have been intensifying efforts to improve the understanding of Indonesian cultures by large language models (LLMs). An attractive source of cultural knowledge that has been largely overlooked is local journals of social science, which likely contain substantial cultural studies from a native perspective. We present a...
Long arrays of identical, self-propelling flapping flyers are inherently unstable and thus unlikely to exist without active control mechanisms. One approach to enable long in-line formations is to enforce a constant separation between the group members. The objective then becomes to determine the flapping strategies the flyers should...
High-precision facial landmark detection (FLD) relies on high-resolution deep feature representations. However, low-resolution face images or the compression (via pooling or strided convolution) of originally high-resolution images hinder the learning of such features, thereby reducing FLD accuracy. Moreover, insufficient training...
This paper proposes a novel approach to recognizing dynamic hand gestures facilitating seamless interaction between humans and robots. Here, each robot manipulator task is assigned a specific gesture. There may be several such tasks, hence, several gestures. These gestures may be prone to several dynamic variations. All such...
Large Language Models (LLMs) perform well on many NLP tasks, but fine-tuning them on resource-constrained mobile devices is challenging due to high memory and computation costs, despite growing demands for privacy-preserving personalization. Federated Learning (FL) enables local-data training, yet existing methods either rely on...
Malware often uses obfuscation to hinder security analysis. Among these techniques, virtualization-based obfuscation is particularly strong because it protects programs by translating original instructions into attacker-defined virtual machine (VM) bytecode, producing long and complex code that is difficult to analyze and deobfuscate....
The \emph{Monge-Ampère} torsion deficit of an open, bounded convex set $Ω\subset\R^n$ of class $C^2$ is the normalized gap between the value of the torsion functional evaluated on $Ω$ and its value on the ball with the same $(n-1)$-quermassintegral as $Ω$. Using the technique of the \emph{shape derivative}, we prove that the ratio...
Ferroelectric materials such as BaTiO3 exhibit spontaneous polarization that can be reoriented by an external electric field, forming the basis of various memory, actuator, and sensor applications. The polarization switching behavior, however, is strongly influenced by mechanical boundary conditions due to the intrinsic...
This paper argues that interpretability research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally ill-posed as existing definitions of interpretability fail to describe how interpretability can be formally tested or designed for. We posit that actionable definitions of interpretability must be formulated in terms of *symmetries* that...
In this paper, we introduce the action language C-MT (Mind Transition Language). It is built on top of answer set programming (ASP) and transition systems to represent how human mental states evolve in response to sequences of observable actions. Drawing on well-established psychological theories, such as the Appraisal Theory of...
Polychromatic electromagnetic fields are typically expanded as integrals over monochromatic fields, such as plane waves, multipolar fields, or Bessel beams. However, monochromatic fields do not belong to the Hilbert space of free Maxwell fields, since their norms diverge. Moreover, the continuous frequency integrals involved in such...
Discrepancies between scientific papers and their code undermine reproducibility, a concern that grows as automated research agents scale scientific output beyond human review capacity. Whether LLMs can reliably detect such discrepancies has not been systematically measured. To this end, we present SciCoQA, a dataset of 635 paper-code...
In this note, we consider the so-called field-road diffusion model in a bounded domain, consisting of two parabolic PDEs posed on sets of different dimensions and coupled through (symmetric) nonlinear exchange terms. We propose a new and rather direct functional inequalities approach to prove the exponential decay of a relative...
The recent discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in pressurized Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates stimulated intense research into their correlated electron physics. Establishing the diversity of ground states across different Ruddlesden-Popper phases is crucial for elucidating the superconducting mechanisms in these nickelates....
A reinterpretation of four-top quark ($t\bar{t}t\bar{t}$) production is presented using the full Run 2 dataset recorded by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. The analysis targets BSM scenarios using the existing $t\bar{t}t\bar{t}$ production measurement, including constraints on effective...
Micro-Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are rapidly expanding into tasks from inventory to environmental sensing, yet their short endurance and unreliable navigation in GPS-denied spaces limit deployment. Lighter-Than-Air (LTA) drones offer an energy-efficient alternative: they use a helium envelope to provide buoyancy, which enables...
As internet traffic grows, the underlying infrastructure consumes increasing amounts of energy. During off-peak hours, large parts of the networks remain underutilized, presenting significant potential for energy savings. Existing Green Traffic Engineering approaches attempt to leverage this potential by switching off those parts of...
We study the Brownian loop measure on hyperbolic surfaces for Brownian motion with a constant killing rate. We compute the mass of Brownian loops with killing in a free homotopy class and then relate the total mass of loops in all essential homotopy classes to the Selberg zeta function when the surface is geometrically finite. As an...
Two digraphs of order $n$ are said to pack if they can be found as edge-disjoint subgraphs of the complete digraph of order $n$. It is well established that if the sum of the sizes of the two digraphs is at most $2n-2$, then they pack, with this bound being sharp. However, it is sufficient for the size of the smaller digraph to be...
Since the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity, studying the upper critical field and its anisotropy has been crucial for understanding superconducting mechanism and guiding applications. Here we perform in situ high-pressure angular-dependent electrical transport measurements on Pr4Ni3O10 single crystals using a custom...
A quantum system (quanton) traverses an interferometer with $N$ equally probable paths and interacts with another quantum system (detector) that stores path information in a set of symmetric states. In this interferometric framework, we present entropic wave-particle duality relations between quantum coherence, characterized by the...
