description: We perform a lattice calculation on the radiative decay of $D_s^*$ using the (2+1)-flavor Wilson-clover gauge ensembles generated by CLQCD collaboration. A method allowing us to calculate the form factor with zero transfer momentum is proposed and applied to the radiative transition $D_s^*\rightarrow D_sγ$ and the Dalitz decay $D_s^*\rightarrow D_s e^+e^-$. After a continuum extrapolation using three lattice spacings, we obtain $Γ(D_s^*\rightarrow D_s γ)=0.0549(54)$ keV, where the error is purely statistical. The result is consistent with previous lattice calculations but with a error reduced to only a fifth of the before. The Dalitz decay rate is also calculated for the first time and the ratio with the radiative transition is found to be $R_{ee}=0.624(3)\%$. A total decay width of $D_s^*$ can then be determined as 0.0587(54) keV taking into account the experimental branching fraction. Combining with the most recent experimental measurement on the branching fraction of the purely leptonic decay $D_s^{+,*}\rightarrow e^+ν_e$, we obtain the quantity $f_{D_s^*}|V_{cs}|=(190.5^{+55.1}_{-41.7_{\textrm{stat.}}}\pm 12.6_{\textrm{syst.}})$ MeV, where the stat. is only the statistical error from the experiment, and syst. results from the experimental systematic uncertainty and the lattice statistical error. Our result leads to an improved systematic uncertainty compared to $42.7_{\textrm{syst.}}$ obtained using previous lattice prediction of total decay width $0.070(28)$ keV as the input.

description: Let $\mathbf{a} = (a_{i})_{i \geq 1}$ be a sequence in a field $\mathbb{F}$, and $f \colon \mathbb{F} \times \mathbb{F} \to \mathbb{F}$ be a function such that $f(a_{i},a_{i}) \neq 0$ for all $i \geq 1$. For any tournament $T$ over $[n]$, consider the $n \times n$ symmetric matrix $M_{T}$ with zero diagonal whose $(i,j)$th entry (for $i < j$) is $f(a_{i},a_{j})$ if $i \to j$ in $T$, and $f(a_{j},a_{i})$ if $j \to i$ in $T$. It is known (cf. Balachandran et al., Linear Algebra Appl. 658 (2023), 310-318) that if $T$ is a uniformly random tournament over $[n]$, then $\operatorname{rank}(M_{T}) \geq (\frac{1}{2}-o(1))n$ with high probability when $\operatorname{char}(\mathbb{F}) \neq 2$ and $f$ is a linear function.
 In this paper, we investigate the other extremal question: how low can the ranks of such matrices be? We work with sequences $\mathbf{a}$ that take only two distinct values, so the rank of any such $n \times n$ matrix is at least $n/2$. First, we show that the rank of any such matrix depends on whether an associated bipartite graph has certain eigenvalues of high multiplicity. Using this, we show that if $f$ is linear, then there are real matrices $M_{T}(f;\mathbf{a})$ of rank at most $\frac{n}{2} + O(1)$. For rational matrices, we show that for each $\varepsilon > 0$ we can find a sequence $\mathbf{a}(\varepsilon)$ for which there are matrices $M_{T}(f;\mathbf{a})$ of rank at most $(\frac{1}{2} + \varepsilon)n + O(1)$. These matrices are constructed from symmetric designs, and we also use them to produce bisection-closed families of size greater than $\lfloor 3n/2 \rfloor - 2$ for $n \leq 15$, which improves the previously best known bound (cf. Balachandran et al., Electron J. Combin. 26 (2019), #P2.40).

FEW-SHOT TRANSFER LEARNING FOR COUGH SOUND CLASSIFICATION

subject: Machine learning not elsewhere classified

description: Cough sound analysis has gained traction as a non-invasive tool for diagnosing respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19 and influenza. Our literature review explored a broad spectrum of approaches—including traditional machine learning, deep learning, and transfer learning—across domains such as image, audio, text, and multimodal data. While deep learning models, especially CNNs and transformers, have achieved high accuracy, they are constrained by the need for large labeled datasets. This analysis led us to identify few-shot learning (FSL) as a promising alternative for data-constrained medical diagnostics.In this study, we implement a Prototypical Network-based FSL model for classifying cough sounds into three classes: Healthy, COVID-19, and Flu. We curate a balanced dataset from COUGHVID, Coswara, and FluSense, converting audio samples into Mel-spectrograms using Librosa. These are fed into a modified ResNet-18 backbone integrated with the EasyFSL framework for episodic N-way, K-shot training. Our evaluation spans binary and multi-class classification tasks, varying the number of support examples and using statistical tests (Two One-Sided Tests and Bootstrap-Based Equivalence Test) to assess performance differences.Experimental results show that the multi-class model achieves 72.07% accuracy with only 15 support examples per class, while binary models exceed 74% across all class pairs. Statistical analysis reveals no significant performance drop between multi-class and binary setups, validating the use of FSL in low-resource healthcare contexts. This work demonstrates the practical viability of few-shot learning for audio-based disease screening and contributes to scalable, efficient diagnostic solutions where labeled data is limited.

description: Nonlinear electrodynamics with two parameters is studied. It is shown that singularities of point-like electric charges are absent and the electromagnetic energy is finite. Corrections to Coulomb's law are found. The finite static electric field energy of a point-like charge is calculated. We demonstrate that the electron mass may have the electromagnetic nature. It was shown that principles of causality and unitarity take place.

description: The Carbon monOxide Mapping Array Project (COMAP) Pathfinder survey continues to demonstrate the feasibility of line-intensity mapping using high-redshift carbon monoxide (CO) line emission traced at cosmological scales. The latest COMAP Pathfinder power spectrum analysis is based on observations through the end of Season 2, covering the first three years of Pathfinder operations. We use our latest constraints on the CO(1-0) line-intensity power spectrum at $z\sim3$ to update corresponding constraints on the cosmological clustering of CO line emission and thus the cosmic molecular gas content at a key epoch of galaxy assembly. We first mirror the COMAP Early Science interpretation, considering how Season 2 results translate to limits on the shot noise power of CO fluctuations and the bias of CO emission as a tracer of the underlying dark matter distribution. The COMAP Season 2 results place the most stringent limits on the CO tracer bias to date, at $\langle{Tb}\rangle<4.8$ $μ$K. These limits narrow the model space significantly compared to previous CO line-intensity mapping results while maintaining consistency with small-volume interferometric surveys of resolved line candidates. The results also express a weak preference for CO emission models used to guide fiducial forecasts from COMAP Early Science, including our data-driven priors. We also consider directly constraining a model of the halo-CO connection, and show qualitative hints of capturing the total contribution of faint CO emitters through the improved sensitivity of COMAP data. With continued observations and matching improvements in analysis, the COMAP Pathfinder remains on track for a detection of cosmological clustering of CO emission.

description: Rotational Freudenthal duality (RFD) relates two extremal Kerr-Newman (KN) black holes (BHs) with different angular momenta and electric-magnetic charges, but with the same Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. Through the Kerr/CFT correspondence (and its KN extension), a four-dimensional, asymptotically flat extremal KN BH is endowed with a dual thermal, two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) such that the Cardy entropy of the CFT is the same as the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the KN BH itself. Using this connection, we study the effect of the RFD on the thermal CFT dual to the KN extremal (or doubly-extremal) BH. We find that the RFD maps two different thermal, two-dimensional CFTs with different temperatures and central charges, but with the same asymptotic density of states, thereby matching the Cardy entropy. We also discuss the action of the RFD on doubly-extremal rotating BHs, finding a spurious branch in the non-rotating limit, and determining that for this class of BH solutions the image of the RFD necessarily over-rotates.

description: Radionuclide identification is a radioanalytical method employed in various scientific disciplines that utilize alpha-particle or gamma-ray spectrometric assays, ranging from astrophysics to nuclear medicine. Radionuclide libraries in conventional radionuclide identification systems are crafted in a manual fashion, accompanying labor-intensive and error-prone user tasks and hindering library customization. This research presents a computational algorithm and the architecture of its dedicated software that can automatically generate tailored radionuclide libraries. Progenitor-progeny recurrence relations were modeled to enable recursive computation of radionuclide subsets. This theoretical concept was incorporated into open-source software called RecurLib and validated against four actinide decay series and twelve radioactive substances, including a uranium-glazed legacy Fiestaware, natural uranium and thorium sources, a $^{226}$Ra sample, and the medical radionuclides $^{225}$Ac, $^{177}$Lu, and $^{99\text{m}}$Tc. The developed algorithm yielded radionuclide libraries for all the tested specimens within minutes, demonstrating its efficiency and applicability across diverse scenarios. The proposed approach introduces a framework for computerized radionuclide library generation, thereby trivializing library-driven radionuclide identification and facilitating the spectral recognition of unregistered radionuclides in radiation spectrometry.

description: Distributed sensing by cooperative drone swarms is crucial for several Smart City applications, such as traffic monitoring and disaster response. Using an indoor lab with inexpensive drones, a testbed supports complex and ambitious studies on these systems while maintaining low cost, rigor, and external validity. This paper introduces the Multi-drone Sensing Experimentation Testbed (M-SET), a novel platform designed to prototype, develop, test, and evaluate distributed sensing with swarm intelligence. M-SET addresses the limitations of existing testbeds that fail to emulate collisions, thus lacking realism in outdoor environments. By integrating a collision avoidance method based on a potential field algorithm, M-SET ensures collision-free navigation and sensing, further optimized via a multi-agent collective learning algorithm. Extensive evaluation demonstrates accurate energy consumption estimation and a low risk of collisions, providing a robust proof-of-concept. New insights show that M-SET has significant potential to support ambitious research with minimal cost, simplicity, and high sensing quality.

description: ExaGRyPE describes a suite of solvers for numerical relativity, based upon ExaHyPE 2, the second generation of our Exascale Hyperbolic PDE Engine. The presented generation of ExaGRyPE solves the Einstein equations in the CCZ4 formulation under a 3+1 foliation and focuses on black hole spacetimes. It employs a block-structured Cartesian grid carrying a higher-order order Finite Difference scheme with adaptive mesh refinement, it facilitates massive parallelism combining message passing, domain decomposition and task parallelism, and it supports the injection of particles into the grid as data probes or tracers. We introduce the ExaGRyPE-specific building blocks within ExaHyPE 2, and discuss its software architecture and compute-n-feel:
 For this, we formalize the creation of any specific simulation with ExaGRyPE as a sequence of lowering operations, where abstract logical tasks are successively broken into finer tasks until we obtain an abstraction level that can be mapped onto a C++ executable. The overall program logic is fully specified via a domain-specific Python interface, we map this logic onto a more detailed set of numerical tasks, subsequently lower this representation onto technical tasks that the underlying ExaHyPE engine uses to parallelize the application, before eventually the technical tasks are mapped onto task graphs including the actual PDE term evaluations, initial conditions, boundary conditions, and so forth. We end up with a rigorous separation of concerns which shields ExaGRyPE users from technical details and hence simplifies the development of novel physical models. We present the simulations and data for the gauge wave, static single black holes and rotating binary black hole systems, demonstrating that the code base is mature and usable. However, we also uncover domain-specific numerical challenges that need further study by the community in future work.

description: In a binary, when the orbital plane of the companion star is almost edge-on along the line-of-sight direction, this would produce an observable self-gravitational lensing effect, which would slightly increase the overall optical intensity of the binary. However, the probability of getting one observable self-lensing binary (SLB) is very low. There are only five observed SLBs so far and all of them are eclipsing binaries. In this article, we theoretically show that the neutron star-white dwarf (NS-WD) binary PSR J1910-5959A could be an observable non-eclipsing SLB. It might be the first binary showing both periodic optical amplification and Shapiro time delay of radio signals, which is useful to verify our understanding about gravitational lensing in relativistic binaries. Moreover, we show that the observed peak amplification limit of the PSR J1910-5959A can help constrain the radius of the WD, which is a crucial parameter to examine the mass-radius and temperature-radius relationship for helium WD.
