We investigate the formation of three-body bound states in the continuum by tracing pole trajectories in the complex energy plane under variation of system parameters. Using a one-dimensional model of two identical bosons and a distinguishable particle interacting via Gaussian potentials, we systematically vary the interaction...
An element of a group is called \emph{reversible} if it is conjugate to its inverse, and \emph{strongly reversible} if it can be expressed as a product of two involutions. We study strongly reversible elements in the Riordan group and in several of its important subgroups. We show that not every reversible element in the Riordan group...
We compute, at the first self force accuracy level, the radiated energy from a radially infalling particle released from rest in a Schwarzschild spacetime. We examine both the cases of a scalar particle and that of a massive particle, in the context of gravitational perturbations. Our findings are accompanied by Post-Newtonian checks....
We examine the impact of top-of-screen promotions on viewing time at ABEMA, a leading video streaming platform in Japan. To this end, we conduct a large-scale randomized controlled trial. Given the non-standard distribution of user viewing times, we estimate distributional treatment effects. Our estimation results document that...
Generative modeling offers a promising solution to data scarcity and privacy challenges in time series analysis. However, the structural complexity of time series, characterized by multi-scale temporal patterns and heterogeneous components, remains insufficiently addressed. In this work, we propose a structure-disentangled multiscale...
The rapid evolution of satellite-borne Earth Observation (EO) systems has revolutionized terrestrial monitoring, yielding petabyte-scale archives. However, the immense computational and storage requirements for global-scale analysis often preclude widespread use, hindering planetary-scale studies. To address these barriers, we present...
Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have recently emerged as pivotal tools for introspection into large language models. SAEs can uncover high-quality, interpretable features at different levels of granularity and enable targeted steering of the generation process by selectively activating specific neurons in their latent activations. Our...
We study the HL-LHC sensitivity to an ultraheavy diquark $S_{uu}$ produced in up-quark fusion and decaying as $S_{uu}\to uχ$, $χ\to Wb, Zt, h^0t$. For fully hadronic decays of the W, Z and top quark, this gives rise to multijet final states. Within the same model framework used previously for the $S_{uu}\toχχ$ six-jet channel, we...
We investigate the fine-tuning of radiative alpha-particle capture on carbon, $α(^{12}{\rm C},^{16}{\rm O})γ$, at astrophysical energies. Utilizing results from cluster effective field theory for this reaction, we find that the low-energy data of the astrophysical S-factor allow for only very small variations in the electromagnetic...
We study the impact of imperfect line-of-sight (LoS) phase tracking on the uplink performance of cell-free massive MIMO networks. Unlike prior works that assume perfectly known or completely unknown phases, we consider a realistic regime where LoS phases are estimated with residual uncertainty due to hardware impairments, mobility,...
Social media platforms are increasingly dominated by long-form multimodal content, where harmful narratives are constructed through a complex interplay of audio, visual, and textual cues. While automated systems can flag hate speech with high accuracy, they often function as "black boxes" that fail to provide the granular,...
The strongly constrained and appropriately normed (SCAN) meta-generalized gradient approximation (meta-GGA) functional is a milestone achievement of electronic structure theory. Recently, a revised and restored form (r$^2$SCAN) has been suggested as a replacement for SCAN in high-throughput applications. Here, we assess the accuracy...
The dynamic strength of concrete under complex loading conditions is a key consideration in the design and maintenance of infrastructures. To assess this mechanical property, Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) tests are typically adopted across a wide range of loading and confining conditions. In this study, mesoscale modelling based...
Current state-of-the-art approaches to wildfire risk assessment often overlook operational needs, limiting their practical value for first responders and firefighting services. Effective wildfire management requires a multi-target analysis that captures the diverse dimensions of wildfire risk, including meteorological danger, ignition...
In this work, we report that Bi2Ta3S6-family superconductors exhibit nontrivial band topology. They possess a natural quantum-well structure consisting of alternating stacks of TaS2 and honeycomb Bi layers, which contribute superconducting and topological properties, respectively. Symmetry-based indicators...
We analyze the spectral energy distributions (SEDs), star formation histories (SFHs), and infrared-radio correlation (IRRC) of 221 850 $μ$m-selected submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) in the SSA22 deep field. The median mass-weighted age is 567 Myr. Most galaxies in our sample began forming $\sim$ 1.68 Gyr after the Big Bang, entered the...
The modern integrated circuit ecosystem is increasingly reliant on third-party intellectual property integration, which introduces security risks, including hardware Trojans and security vulnerabilities. Addressing the resulting trust deadlock between IP vendors and system integrators without exposing proprietary designs requires...
A novel class of Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin schemes for coupled systems of conservation laws in multiple space dimensions that are separated by a fixed sharp interface is introduced. The schemes are derived from a relaxation approach and a local projection and do not require expensive solutions of nonlinear half-Riemann...
The high-level structure of a graph is a crucial ingredient for the analysis and visualization of relational data. However, discovering the salient graph patterns that form this structure is notoriously difficult for two reasons. (1) Finding important patterns, such as cliques and bicliques, is computationally hard. (2) Real-world...
Crawling national top-level domains has proven to be highly effective for collecting texts in less-resourced languages. This approach has been recently used for South Slavic languages and resulted in the largest general corpora for this language group: the CLASSLA-web 1.0 corpora. Building on this success, we established a continuous...
This work reports the results of the survey carried out during the MUSAE final exhibition to assess its impact on people's perception of aspects like trust in technology, environmental challenges, eating habits and potential increase of mental and physical health while interacting with the technological prototypes exposed during the...
We study the symmetrization of the Novikov product. Using the embedding of a free Novikov algebra into a differential algebra over a field of characteristic zero and the Euler operators (variational derivatives), we show that the space of null Lagrangians coincides with the subspace of elements closed under the symmetrized product...
Two-dimensional Janus structures have garnered rapidly growing attention across multidisciplinary fields. However, despite extensive theoretical and experimental efforts, a principle for designing intrinsic Janus materials remains elusive. Here, we propose a first-principles alloy theory based on cluster expansion, incorporating a...
The need for semiconductor technology for crystalline silicon of the highest purity and homogeneity has provided samples exhibiting low optical absorption in the infrared range. Such silicon has become the basis for photonic elements in the telecommunication band, including high-Q microresonators, which are particularly important....
Let $X$ and $Y$ be compact Hausdorff spaces, and let $C(X)$ and $C(Y)$ denote the commutative Banach algebras of all continuous complex-valued functions on $X$ and $Y$, respectively. We study bijective maps $T$ from $C(X)$ onto $C(Y)$ which preserve the ring structure in the norm in the following sense: \[...
