description: This article surveys convolution-based models including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), Conformers, ResNets, and CRNNs-as speech signal processing models and provide their statistical backgrounds and speech recognition, speaker identification, emotion recognition, and speech enhancement applications. Through comparative training cost assessment, model size, accuracy and speed assessment, we compare the strengths and weaknesses of each model, identify potential errors and propose avenues for further research, emphasizing the central role it plays in advancing applications of speech technologies.

description: The MAgnetized Disk and Mirror Axion eXperiment (MADMAX) is a future experiment aiming to detect dark matter axions from the galactic halo by resonant conversion to photons in a strong magnetic field. It uses a stack of dielectric disks in front of a mirror, called booster, to enhance the potential signal from axion-photon conversion over a significant mass range. Several small scale prototype systems have been developed and tested to verify the experimental principles. The current status of the experiment and its prototypes, including the ongoing research and development and remaining challenges, are presented in this contribution.

description: Spatiotemporal variation of the thermal gradient in the melt pool inherited from different heat input patterns or other non-equilibrium transient effects during additive manufacturing can significantly affect the resulting subgrain microstructure evolution. To examine the impact of this variation, we approximate the thermal gradient by various isotherm patterns that move with constant velocity following directional solidification. We report the first three-dimensional phase-field simulations to investigate the effects of isotherm patterns on the cellular structures typically observed in solidified melt pools. Results indicate that small variations in the isotherm can considerably impact the microstructural features. We use appropriate statistical characterizations of the solid fraction, solid percolation, and solute partitioning behavior to demonstrate the influence of isotherm patterns on the dendritic structures and semisolid mushy zones. Consistent with experimental observations, we find that non-planar isotherms produce finer cells and reduced microsegregation compared to planar isotherms. Also, we note that a tilt of the isotherm leads to a tilted state of the resulting cellular arrays. Our findings will help in understanding the qualitative aspects of the influence of temperature gradient patterns on the evolution of solidification morphologies, mushy zones, and secondary phases, which are crucial for the macroscopic description of the solidified material.

description: This contribution reports on characterisation results of a large-area (2$~\mathrm{cm}^2$) small pitch (55$~μ$m) inverse Low-Gain Avalanche Detector (iLGAD), bonded to a Timepix3 readout chip. The ilGAD sensors were produced by Micron Semiconductor Ltd with the goal to obtain good gain uniformity and maximise the fill-factor -- an issue present with standard small-pitch LGAD designs. We have conducted detailed performance evaluations using both X-ray calibrations and beam tests. An X-ray fluorescence setup has been used to obtain energy calibration and to identify the optimal operating settings of the new devices, whereas the extensive beam tests allowed for a detailed evaluation of the detector performance. The beam-tests were performed at the CERN SPS North Area H6 beamline, using a 120 GeV/c pion beam. The reference tracking and time-stamping is achieved by a Timepix3-based beam telescope setup.
 The results show a gain of around 5 with very good uniformity, measured across the whole gain area, as well as a hit time resolution down to 1.3 ns without correcting for the time-walk effects. Furthermore, it is shown that the gain opens the possibility of a good X-ray energy resolution down to 4.5 keV.

description: Binary black holes are the most abundant source of gravitational-wave observations. Gravitational-wave observatories in the next decade will require tremendous increases in the accuracy of numerical waveforms modeling binary black holes, compared to today's state of the art. One approach to achieving the required accuracy is using spectral-type methods that scale to many processors. Using the SpECTRE numerical-relativity code, we present the first simulations of a binary black hole inspiral, merger, and ringdown using discontinuous Galerkin methods. The efficiency of discontinuous Galerkin methods allows us to evolve the binary through ~18 orbits at reasonable computational cost. We then use SpECTRE's Cauchy Characteristic Evolution (CCE) code to extract the gravitational waves at future null infinity. The open-source nature of SpECTRE means this is the first time a spectral-type method for simulating binary black hole evolutions is available to the entire numerical-relativity community.

description: Diversität ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil unserer Gesellschaft. Durch die zunehmende Globalisierung und die damit einhergehende Migration wird Diversität immer präsenter. Dies erfordert einen respektvollen Umgang und die Förderung interkultureller Kompetenzen, besonders im Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache (DaF/DaZ)- Unterricht. Neben dem Erlernen der deutschen Sprache ist die Förderung interkultureller Kompetenzen zentral, damit sich die Lernenden in einer vielfältigen Gesellschaft zurechtfinden und erfolgreich kommunizieren können.
Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, den Einsatz des sprachlichen Repertoires von Lernenden in Bezug auf Diversität und Interkulturalität zu untersuchen. Dazu wird folgende Forschungsfrage gestellt: Welche sprachlichen Ressourcen nutzen DaF/DaZ-Lernende, um über Diversität zu sprechen? Um die Forschungsfrage zu beantworten, wurden in zwei Deutschkursen Daten erhoben. Die didaktische Grundlage der Unterrichtseinheiten bildete eine Sequenz zur Sensibilisierung für Diversität. Die Daten wurden mit Hilfe der funktional-pragmatischen Diskursanalyse analysiert. In der Untersuchung wurden insbesondere Translanguaging und Englisch als Lingua franca sowie verwendete sprachliche Mittel und Strategien berücksichtigt.
Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Translanguaging und Englisch eine wichtige Rolle spielen, um Sachverhalte zu erschliessen, die den Lernenden in der Zielsprache Deutsch noch nicht zugänglich sind. Ausserdem wurde festgestellt, dass die Lernenden auf bereits bekannte sprachliche Muster und Strukturen sowie Strategien zurückgreifen, wenn sie im Deutschen über Diversität sprechen. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass Lernende ihren kulturellen Apparat aktivieren und das Perspektivieren einsetzen, um gegenseitige Verständigung herzustellen und interkulturelle Kommunikation zu fördern. Aus den Erkenntnissen lassen sich Implikationen für den DaF/DaZ-Unterricht ableiten. Die Integration von Translanguaging und Englisch als Lingua franca im Unterricht erleichtert den Zugang zu komplexen Sachverhalten und kann die interkulturelle Kommunikation fördern.

description: We show that the minimum entropy production in near-reversible quantum state transport along a path is simple function of the path length measured according to the Fisher-KMB metrics. Hence the sharp values of path lengths, also called statistical lengths, obtain operational meaning to quantify the residual irreversibility in near-reversible state transport. In the classical limit, the Bhattacharyya fidelity obtains a sharp operational meaning after eighty years.

description: One of the most surprising gamma-ray burst (GRB) features discovered with the Swift-X ray telescope (XRT) is a plateau phase in the early X-ray afterglow light curves. These plateaus are observed in the majority of long GRBs, while their incidence in short GRBs (SGRBs) is still uncertain due to their fainter X-ray afterglow luminosity with respect to long GRBs. An accurate estimate of the fraction of SGRBs with plateaus is of utmost relevance given the implications that the plateau may have for our understanding of the jet structure and possibly of the nature of the binary neutron star (BNS) merger remnant. This work presents the results of an extensive data analysis of the largest and most up-to-date sample of short GRBs observed with the XRT, and for which the redshift has been measured. We find a plateau incidence of 18-37% in short GRBs, which is a significantly lower fraction than that measured in long GRBs (>50%). Although still debated, the plateau phase could be explained as energy injection from the spin-down power of a newly born magnetized neutron star (NS; magnetar). We show that this scenario can nicely reproduce the observed short GRB plateaus, while at the same time providing a natural explanation for the different plateau fractions between short and long GRBs. In particular, our findings may imply that only a minority of BNS mergers generating short GRBs leave behind a sufficiently stable or long-lived neutron star (NS) to form a plateau. From the probability distribution of the BNS remnant mass, a fraction 18-37% of short GRB plateaus implies a maximum NS mass in the range $\sim$ 2.3 - 2.35 M$_{\odot}$.

description: In recent years, the field of electroencephalography (EEG) analysis has witnessed remarkable advancements, driven by the integration of machine learning and artificial intelligence. This survey aims to encapsulate the latest developments, focusing on emerging methods and technologies that are poised to transform our comprehension and interpretation of brain activity. We delve into self-supervised learning methods that enable the robust representation of brain signals, which are fundamental for a variety of downstream applications. We also explore emerging discriminative methods, including graph neural networks (GNN), foundation models, and large language models (LLMs)-based approaches. Furthermore, we examine generative technologies that harness EEG data to produce images or text, offering novel perspectives on brain activity visualization and interpretation. The survey provides an extensive overview of these cutting-edge techniques, their current applications, and the profound implications they hold for future research and clinical practice.

description: This paper presents a novel approach to binary classification using dynamic logistic ensemble models. The proposed method addresses the challenges posed by datasets containing inherent internal clusters that lack explicit feature-based separations. By extending traditional logistic regression, we develop an algorithm that automatically partitions the dataset into multiple subsets, constructing an ensemble of logistic models to enhance classification accuracy. A key innovation in this work is the recursive probability calculation, derived through algebraic manipulation and mathematical induction, which enables scalable and efficient model construction. Compared to traditional ensemble methods such as Bagging and Boosting, our approach maintains interpretability while offering competitive performance. Furthermore, we systematically employ maximum likelihood and cost functions to facilitate the analytical derivation of recursive gradients as functions of ensemble depth. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated on a custom dataset created by introducing noise and shifting data to simulate group structures, resulting in significant performance improvements with layers. Implemented in Python, this work balances computational efficiency with theoretical rigor, providing a robust and interpretable solution for complex classification tasks with broad implications for machine learning applications.

description: We present JWST/NIRSpec PRISM follow-up of candidate galaxies at z=9-11 selected from deep JWST/NIRCam photometry in GLASS-JWST Early Release Science data. We spectroscopically confirm six sources with secure redshifts at z = 9.52-10.43, each showing multiple emission lines. An additional object is likely at z = 10.66, based on its Lya-break and a single emission feature, while one source is a lower redshift interloper. The sample includes the first JWST-detected candidate at z=10, GHZ1/GLASS-z10, which we confirm at z = 9.875, and the X-ray detected AGN GHZ9 confirmed at z = 10.145. Three objects in our sample, including GHZ9, have EW(CIII])>20A and occupy a region compatible with AGN emission in the EW(CIII]) vs CIV/CIII] diagram. The spectroscopic sample confirms a high abundance of galaxies at z > 9. We measure a number density of z=10 galaxies in the GLASS-JWST ERS field that is a factor of >3 higher than other JWST-based estimates at demagnified rest-frame magnitudes of -21 < Muv < -19. We find that the positions of these galaxies in redshift and angular space are not consistent with all of them being part of a unique progenitor of present-day galaxy clusters. The high density of objects in the GLASS region can be explained either by clustering on large scales or by a superposition of different forming structures of which we observe only the brightest members. By considering all the spectroscopic z=10 sources in the Abell-2744 field, we identify two potential galaxy proto-clusters centered around GHZ9 and JD1, with relative separations between their members of 1-2 pMpc. The potential AGN nature of three of the sources in our sample lends support to a scenario in which the high abundance of bright sources determined by JWST surveys at cosmic dawn may be affected by AGN contribution to their UV luminosity.

description: We investigate the existence of nontrivial solutions of parameter-dependent elliptic equations with deviated argument in annular-like domains in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, with $n\geq 2$, subject to functional boundary conditions. In particular we consider a boundary value problem that may be used to model heat-flow problems. We obtain an existence result by means of topological methods; in particular, we make use of a recent variant in affine cones of the celebrated Birkhoff--Kellogg theorem. Using an ODE argument, we illustrate in an example the applicability of our theoretical result.

description: Automated visualization recommendations (vis-rec) help users to derive crucial insights from new datasets. Typically, such automated vis-rec models first calculate a large number of statistics from the datasets and then use machine-learning models to score or classify multiple visualizations choices to recommend the most effective ones, as per the statistics. However, state-of-the art models rely on very large number of expensive statistics and therefore using such models on large datasets become infeasible due to prohibitively large computational time, limiting the effectiveness of such techniques to most real world complex and large datasets. In this paper, we propose a novel reinforcement-learning (RL) based framework that takes a given vis-rec model and a time-budget from the user and identifies the best set of input statistics that would be most effective while generating the visual insights within a given time budget, using the given model. Using two state-of-the-art vis-rec models applied on three large real-world datasets, we show the effectiveness of our technique in significantly reducing time-to visualize with very small amount of introduced error. Our approach is about 10X times faster compared to the baseline approaches that introduce similar amounts of error.

description: Is the quality of existing code correlated with the quality of subsequent changes? According to the (controversial) broken windows theory, which inspired this study, disorder sets descriptive norms and signals behavior that further increases it. From a large code corpus, we examine whether code history does indeed affect the evolution of code quality. We examine C code quality metrics and Java code smells in specific files, and see whether subsequent commits by developers continue on that path. We check whether developers tailor the quality of their commits based on the quality of the file they commit to. Our results show that history matters, that developers behave differently depending on some aspects of the code quality they encounter, and that programming style inconsistency is not necessarily related to structural qualities. These findings have implications for both software practice and research. Software practitioners can emphasize current quality practices as these influence the code that will be developed in the future. Researchers in the field may replicate and extend the study to improve our understanding of the theory and its practical implications on artifacts, processes, and people.
