description: We study the classical electron scattering from a driven inverted Gaussian potential, an open system, in terms of its chaotic invariant set. This chaotic invariant set is described by a ternary horseshoe construction on an appropriate Poincare surface of section. We find the development parameters that describe the hyperbolic component of the chaotic invariant set. In addition, we show that the hierarchical structure of the fractal set of singularities of the scattering functions is the same as the structure of the chaotic invariant set. Finally, we construct a symbolic encoding of the hierarchical structure of the set of singularities of the scattering functions and use concepts from the thermodynamical formalism to obtain one of the measures of chaos of the fractal set of singularities, the topological entropy.

description: By using (3-[2-(2-aminoethylamino)ethylamino]propyl-trimethoxysilane) and o-phenylenediamine as the reaction substrate, N-doped silicon quantum dots (N-SiQDs) with high quantum yield and excellent optical properties were synthesized by a one-step, simple, low-cost, and green method. Sequentially a N-SiQDs/silver nanoparticles (N-SiQDs/Ag NPs) nanocomplex was constructed as a nanoprobe to develop an “on-off” fluorescent sensing platform for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The produced N-SiQDs was characterized by various methods such as transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Due to the surface plasmon-enhanced energy transfer from donor N-SiQDs to acceptor Ag NPs, the fluorescence of N-SiQDs is quenched (“off”) by Ag NPs. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, it etches the Ag NPs to release N-SiQDs and further increases the fluorescence intensity from N-SiQDs (“on”). Based on this principle, an “on-off” fluorescent sensing platform for hydrogen peroxide was successfully developed. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the results show that the developed sensing platform has a low detection limit (1.5 μM) and wide linear range (5.0 to 200.0 µM) for the determination of hydrogen peroxide.

description: This paper revisits the ordered statistics decoding (OSD). It provides a comprehensive analysis of the OSD algorithm by characterizing the statistical properties, evolution and the distribution of the Hamming distance and weighted Hamming distance from codeword estimates to the received sequence in the reprocessing stages of the OSD algorithm. We prove that the Hamming distance and weighted Hamming distance distributions can be characterized as mixture models capturing the decoding error probability and code weight enumerator. Simulation and numerical results show that our proposed statistical approaches can accurately describe the distance distributions. Based on these distributions and with the aim to reduce the decoding complexity, several techniques, including stopping rules and discarding rules, are proposed, and their decoding error performance and complexity are accordingly analyzed. Simulation results for decoding various eBCH codes demonstrate that the proposed techniques can significantly reduce the decoding complexity with a negligible loss in the decoding error performance.

description: We describe the model of surface emission from a rapidly rotating neutron star that is applied to Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer X-ray data of millisecond pulsars in order to statistically constrain the neutron star mass-radius relation and dense matter equation of state. To ensure that the associated calculations are both accurate and precise, we conduct an extensive suite of verification tests between our numerical codes for both the Schwarzschild + Doppler and Oblate Schwarzschild approximations, and compare both approximations against exact numerical calculations. We find superb agreement between the code outputs, as well as in comparison against a set of analytical and semi-analytical calculations, which combined with their speed, demonstrates that the codes are well-suited for large-scale statistical sampling applications. A set of verified, high-precision reference synthetic pulse profiles is provided to the community to facilitate testing of other independently developed codes.

description: We present an $\it{ab}$ $\it{initio}$ calculation of the exchange coupling for Fe/Nb multilayers using the self-consistent full-potential linearized augmented-plane wave (FLAPW) method. The exchange correlation potential has been treated in the local spin density approximation (LSDA) as well as generalized gradient approximation (GGA). We find that for the LSDA as well as the GGA the exchange coupling oscillates with a period of 6.0 Åof Nb spacer thickness which is close to the experimental value in the preasymptotic region. This is also close to the earlier calculated period (i.e. 4.5 Å) by augmented spherical wave (ASW) method. The LSDA shows antiferromagnetic coupling for 2 and 5 Nb monolayers (ML) but the GGA shows the ferromagnetic coupling for all Nb spacer layers. The period of oscillation is found to be in good agreement with the period calculated using the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) and quantum well (QW) models. The magnetic moment of Fe is found to be higher in the GGA than the LSDA. Fe magnetic moment also shows strong oscillations as a function of the spacer layer thickness, in agreement with the experimental results. We find that the GGA results show better agreement with the experiment than the LSDA results.

description: The dynamics of the hyperextended scalar-tensor theory in the empty Bianchi type I model is investigated. We describe a method giving the sign of the first and second derivatives of the metric functions whatever the coupling function. Hence, we can predict if a theory gives birth to expanding, contracting, bouncing or inflationary cosmology. The dynamics of a string inspired theory without antisymetric field strength is analysed. Some exact solutions are found.

description: This paper addresses pure gauge questions in the study of (asymptotically) de Sitter spacetimes. We construct global solutions to the eikonal equation on de Sitter, whose level sets give rise to double null foliations, and give detailed estimates for the structure coefficients in this gauge. We show two results which are relevant for the foliations used in the stability problem of the expanding region of Schwarzschild de Sitter spacetimes [Schlue (2016)]: (i) Small perturbations of round spheres on the cosmological horizons lead to spheres that pinch off at infinity. (ii) Globally well behaved double null foliations can be constructed from infinity using a choice of spheres related to the level sets of a mass aspect function. While (i) shows that in the above stability problem a final gauge choice is necessary, the proof of (ii) already outlines a strategy for the case of spacetimes with decaying, instead of vanishing, conformal Weyl curvature.

L1521E: the first starless core with no molecular depletion

description: L1521E seems unique among starless cores. It stands out in a distribution of a ratio (R) that we define to asses core evolution, and which compares the emission of the easily-depleted C18O molecule with that of the hard to deplete, late-time species N2H+. While all cores we have studied so far have R ratio lower than 1, L1521E has an R value of 3.4, which is 8 times the mean of the other cores. To understand this difference, we have modeled the C18O and N2H+ abundance profiles in L1521E using a density distribution derived from 1.2mm continuum data. Our model shows that the C18O emission in this core is consistent with constant abundance, and this makes L1521E the first core with no C18O depletion. Our model also derives an unusually low N2H+ abundance. These two chemical peculiarities suggest that L1521E has contracted to its present density very recently, and it is therefore an extremely young starless core. Comparing our derived abundances with a chemical model, we estimate a tentative age of 1.5 x 10^5 yr, which is too short for ambipolar diffusion models.

description: This conceptual sketch proposes a formal ontology of consciousness based on category theory. Though grounded in advanced mathematics, the framework is made intuitive throughout—tracing lived experience with language that resonates, connects, and reveals its underlying structure. Consciousness is understood not as a substance or a computational output, but as the stabilization of structured time within an energy-constrained system. Using tools from category theory—such as functors, natural transformations, limits, colimits, adjunctions, and cones—it models core features of consciousness, including perception, memory, attention, inner speech, and the sense of self. Each sensory modality functions as a structure-preserving map from external dynamics into internal representations, and consciousness arises when these mappings remain coherent under transformation. The self is modeled as a colimit across distributed processes, and the present moment as a limit of converging inputs. Qualia are described as cones over temporal diagrams. This approach integrates neural, metabolic, and phenomenological layers without reducing one to the other, and offers a formal, compositional language for describing how systems maintain coherence across time and constraint.

description: Suspensions of the UV filter, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NP), are widely used in sunscreen products. This paper compared the relative disposition and local cytotoxicity of ZnO NP, and zinc ions formed on its dissolution, against keratinocyte cultures and in the human epidermis (ex vivo) after application of suspensions of ZnO NP. HaCaT keratinocyte cytotoxicities were found to be related to labile intra-cellular zinc but also total zinc and extra-cellular concentrations in cell culture media and to a degree ameliorated by the presence of a zinc chelating agent. Secondly, the zinc species were then dosed onto exposed ex vivo viable human epidermis and it was found that an increase in labile zinc level correlated with a shift in the metabolic state of the viable epidermis. This study highlights that excised viable skin acts as a more relevant model for determining cutaneous toxicity over keratinocyte monolayers in vitro.

description: The Ultracold Neutron Asymmetry (UCNA) experiment was designed to measure the $β$-decay asymmetry parameter, $A_0$, for free neutron decay. In the experiment, polarized ultracold neutrons are transported into a decay trap, and their $β$-decay electrons are detected with $\approx 4π$ acceptance into two detector packages which provide position and energy reconstruction. The experiment also has sensitivity to $b_{n}$, the Fierz interference term in the neutron $β$-decay rate. In this work, we determine $b_{n}$ from the energy dependence of $A_0$ using the data taken during the UCNA 2011-2013 run. In addition, we present the same type of analysis using the earlier 2010 $A$ dataset. Motivated by improved statistics and comparable systematic errors compared to the 2010 data-taking run, we present a new $b_{n}$ measurement using the weighted average of our asymmetry dataset fits, to obtain $b_{n} = 0.066 \pm 0.041_{\text{stat}} \pm 0.024_{\text{syst}}$ which corresponds to a limit of $-0.012 < b_{n} < 0.144$ at the 90% confidence level.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Pattern formation driven by differential strain in constrained elastic systems is a common motif in many technological and biological systems. Here we introduce a biologically motivated case of elastic patterning that allows us to explore the conditions for the existence of local puckering and global wrinkling patterns: a soft growing composite ring adhered elastically to a constraining rigid ring. We explore how differential growth of the soft ring and the elastic resistance to shear and stretching deformations induced by soft adherence leads to a range of phenomena that include uniform aperture-like modes, localized puckers that are Nambu–Goldstone like modes, and global wrinkles in the system. Our analysis combines computer simulations of a discrete rod model with a nonlinear stability analysis of the differential equations in the continuum limit. We provide phase diagrams and scaling relations that reveal the nature and extent of the deformation patterns. Overall, our study reveals how geometry and mechanics conspire to yield a rich phenomenology that could serve both as a guide to the design of programmable localized elastic deformations while being relevant for the mechanical basis of biological morphogenesis.

description: NICER observed several rotation-powered millisecond pulsars to search for or confirm the presence of X-ray pulsations. When broad and sine-like, these pulsations may indicate thermal emission from hot polar caps at the magnetic poles on the neutron star surface. We report confident detections ($\ge4.7σ$ after background filtering) of X-ray pulsations for five of the seven pulsars in our target sample: PSR J0614-3329, PSR J0636+5129, PSR J0751+1807, PSR J1012+5307, and PSR J2241-5236, while PSR J1552+5437 and PSR J1744-1134 remain undetected. Of those, only PSR J0751+1807 and PSR J1012+5307 had pulsations previously detected at the 1.7$σ$ and almost 3$σ$ confidence levels, respectively, in XMM-Newton data. All detected sources exhibit broad sine-like pulses, which are indicative of surface thermal radiation. As such, these MSPs are promising targets for future X-ray observations aimed at constraining the neutron star mass-radius relation and the dense matter equation of state using detailed pulse profile modeling. Furthermore, we find that three of the detected millisecond pulsars exhibit a significant phase offset between their X-ray and radio pulses.

description: Most of the ordinary matter in the local Universe has not been converted into stars but resides in a largely unexplored diffuse, hot, X-ray emitting plasma. It pervades the gravitational potentials of massive galaxies, groups and clusters of galaxies, as well as the filaments of the cosmic web. The physics of this hot medium, such as its dynamics, thermodynamics and chemical composition can be studied using X-ray spectroscopy in great detail. Here, we present an overview of the basic properties and discuss the self similarity of the hot "atmospheres" permeating the gravitational halos from the scale of galaxies, through groups, to massive clusters. Hot atmospheres are stabilised by the activity of supermassive black holes and, in many ways, they are of key importance for the evolution of their host galaxies. The hot plasma has been significantly enriched in heavy elements by supernovae during the period of maximum star formation activity, probably more than 10 billion years ago. High resolution X-ray spectroscopy just started to be able to probe the dynamics of atmospheric gas and future space observatories will determine the properties of the currently unseen hot diffuse medium throughout the cosmic web.

description: Spontaneous emergence of periodic oscillations due to self-organization is ubiquitous in turbulent flows. The emergence of such oscillatory instabilities in turbulent fluid mechanical systems is often studied in different system-specific frameworks. We uncover the existence of a universal scaling behaviour during self-organization in turbulent flows leading to oscillatory instability. Our experiments show that the spectral amplitude of the dominant mode of oscillations scales inversely with the Hurst exponent of a fluctuating state variable following an inverse power law relation. Interestingly, we observe the same power law behaviour with a constant exponent near -2 across various turbulent systems such as aeroacoustic, thermoacoustic and aeroelastic systems.

Spiderweb Masks for High-Contrast Imaging

description: Motivated by the desire to image exosolar planets, recent work by us and others has shown that high-contrast imaging can be achieved using specially shaped pupil masks. To date, the masks we have designed have been symmetric with respect to a cartesian coordinate system but were not rotationally invariant, thus requiring that one take multiple images at different angles of rotation about the central point in order to obtain high-contrast in all directions. In this paper, we present a new class of masks that have rotational symmetry and provide high-contrast in all directions with just one image. These masks provide the required 10^{-10} level of contrast to within 4 lambda/D, and in some cases 3 lambda/D, of the central point, which is deemed necessary for exosolar planet finding/imaging. They are also well-suited for use on ground-based telescopes, and perhaps NGST too, since they can accommodate central obstructions and associated support spiders.

description: Argyrosomus japonicus is an economically and ecologically important fish species in the family Sciaenidae with a wide distribution in the world’s oceans. Here, we report a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly of A. japonicus based on PacBio and Hi-C sequencing technology. A 673.7-Mb genome containing 282 contigs with an N50 length of 18.4 Mb was obtained based on PacBio long reads. These contigs were further ordered and clustered into 24 chromosome groups based on Hi-C data. In addition, a total of 217.2 Mb (32.24% of the assembled genome) of sequences were identifified as repeat elements, and 23,730 protein-coding genes were predicted based on multiple approaches. More than 97% of BUSCO genes were identifified in the A. japonicus genome. The high-quality genome assembled in this work not only provides a valuable genomic resource for future population genetics, conservation biology and selective breeding studies of A. japonicus but also lays a solid foundation for the study of Sciaenidae evolution.

description: We study the combined effects of spin transfer torque, voltage modulation of interlayer exchange coupling and magnetic anisotropy on the switching behavior of perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions (p-MTJs). In asymmetric p-MTJs, a linear-in-voltage dependence of interlayer exchange coupling enables the effective perpendicular anisotropy barrier to be lowered for both voltage polarities. This mechanism is shown to reduce the critical switching current and effective activation energy. Finally, we analyze the possibility of having switching via interlayer exchange coupling only.

description: We examine the algebraic structure of the matrix regularization for the wrapped membrane on $R^{10}\times S^1$ in the light-cone gauge. We give a concrete representation for the algebra and obtain the matrix string theory having the boundary conditions for the matrix variables corresponding to the wrapped membrane, which is referred to neither Seiberg and Sen's arguments nor string dualities. We also embed the configuration of the multi-wrapped membrane in matrix string theory.

description: Using benzene sandwiched between two Au leads as a model system, we investigate from first principles the change in molecular conductance caused by different atomic structures around the metal-molecule contact. Our motivation is the variable situations that may arise in break junction experiments; our approach is a combined density functional theory and Green function technique. We focus on effects caused by (1) the presence of an additional Au atom at the contact and (2) possible changes in the molecule-lead separation. The effects of contact atomic relaxation and two different lead orientations are fully considered. We find that the presence of an additional Au atom at each of the two contacts will increase the equilibrium conductance by up to two orders of magnitude regardless of either the lead orientation or different group-VI anchoring atoms. This is due to a LUMO-like resonance peak near the Fermi energy. In the non-equilibrium properties, the resonance peak manifests itself in a large negative differential conductance. We find that the dependence of the equilibrium conductance on the molecule-lead separation can be quite subtle: either very weak or very strong depending on the separation regime.

description: Quantum gravity is expected to gauge all global symmetries of effective theories, in the ultraviolet. Inspired by this expectation, we explore the consequences of gauging CPT as a quantum boundary condition in phase space. We find that it provides for a natural semiclassical regularisation and discretisation of the continuous spectrum of a quantum Hamiltonian related to the Dilation operator. We observe that the said spectrum is in correspondence with the zeros of the Riemann zeta and Dirichlet beta functions. Following ideas of Berry and Keating, this may help the pursuit of the Riemann hypothesis. It strengthens the proposal that this quantum Hamiltonian captures the near horizon dynamics of the scattering matrix of the Schwarzschild black hole, given the rich chaotic spectrum upon discretisation. It also explains why the spectrum appears to be erratic despite the unitarity of the scattering matrix.

description: Ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs) reveal extreme properties. Here we compile the largest study to date of 85 globular cluster (GC) systems around UDGs in the Coma cluster, using new deep ground-based imaging of the known UDGs and existing imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope of their GC systems. We find that the richness of GC systems in UDGs generally exceeds that found in normal dwarf galaxies of the same stellar mass. These GC-rich UDGs imply halos more massive than expected from the standard stellar mass-halo mass relation. The presence of such overly massive halos presents a significant challenge to the latest simulations of UDGs in cluster environments. In some exceptional cases, the mass in the GC system is a significant fraction of the stellar content of the host galaxy. We find that rich GC systems tend to be hosted in UDGs of lower luminosity, smaller size and fainter surface brightness. Similar trends are seen for normal dwarf galaxies in the Coma cluster. A toy model is presented in which the GC-rich UDGs are assumed to be `failed' galaxies within massive halos that have largely old, metal-poor, alpha-element enhanced stellar populations. On the other hand, GC-poor UDGs are more akin to normal, low surface brightness dwarfs that occupy less massive dark matter halos. Additional data on the stellar populations of UDGs with GC systems will help to further refine and test this simplistic model.

description: We look for sufficient conditions such that the scalar curvature, Ricci and Kretchmann scalars be bounded in Hyperextended Scalar Tensor theory for Bianchi models. We find classes of gravitation functions and Brans-Dicke coupling functions such that the theories thus defined avoid the singularity. We compare our results with these found by Rama in the framework of the Generalised Scalar Tensor theory for the FLRW models.
