description: We present simulations of congested traffic in circular and open systems with a non-local, gas-kinetic-based traffic model and a novel car-following model. The model parameters are all intuitive and can be easily calibrated. Micro- and macrosimulations with these models for identical vehicles on a single lane produce the same traffic states, which also qualitatively agree with empirical traffic observations. Moreover, the phase diagrams of traffic states in the presence of bottlenecks for the microscopic car-following model and the macroscopic gas-kinetic-based model almost agree. In both cases, we found metastable regimes, spatially coexistent states, and a small region of tristability. The distinction of different types of vehicles (cars and long vehicles) yields additional insight and allows to reproduce empirical data even more realistically, including the observed fluctuation properties of traffic flows like the wide scattering of congested traffic data. Finally, as an alternative to the gas-kinetic approach, we propose a new scheme for deriving non-local macroscopic traffic models from given microscopic car-following models. Assuming identical (macroscopic) initial and boundary conditions, we show that there are microscopic models for which the corresponding macroscopic version displays an almost identical dynamics. This enables us to combine micro- and macrosimulations of road sections by simple algorithms, and even to simulate them simultaneously.

Fluid membranes in hydrodynamic flow fields: Formalism and an application to fluctuating quasi-spherical vesicles in shear flow

description: The dynamics of a single fluid bilayer membrane in an external hydrodynamic flow field is considered. The deterministic equation of motion for the configuration is derived taking into account both viscous dissipation in the surrounding liquid and local incompressibility of the membrane. For quasi-spherical vesicles in shear flow, thermal fluctuations can be incorporated in a Langevin-type equation of motion for the deformation amplitudes. The solution to this equation shows an overdamped oscillatory approach to a stationary tanktreading shape. Inclination angle and ellipiticity of the contour are determined as a function of excess area and shear rate. Comparisons to numerical results and experiments are discussed.

description: A folded chain, with one end fixed at the ceiling and the other end released from the same elevation, is commonly modeled as an energy-conserving system in one-dimension. However, the analytical paradigms in previous literature is unsatisfying: The theoretical prediction of the tension at the fixed end becomes infinitely large when the free end reaches the bottom, contradicting to the experimental observations. Furthermore, the dependence of the total falling time on the link number demonstrated in numerical simulations is still unexplained. Here, considering the horizontal kinetic energy and the geometry of each link, we derived analytical solutions of the maximal tension as well as the total falling time, in agreement with simulation results and experimental data reported in previous studies. This theoretical perspective shows a simple representation of the complicated two-dimensional falling chain system and, in particular, specifies the signature of the chain properties.

description: The possibility of the formation of a local parity breaking (LPB) in a quark-hadron medium is examined as a result of chiral symmetry violation, i.e, the appearance of difference between the average densities of right- and left-handed quarks in the fireball after heavy-ion collisions (HIC). Using the effective meson Lagrangian motivated by QCD extended to the chiral medium the properties of light scalar and pseudoscalar mesons are analyzed. It is establish that exotic decays of scalar mesons arise due to mixing of $π$ and $a_0$ vacuum states in the presence of chiral imbalance. The pion electromagnetic formfactor obtains a parity-odd supplement which generates a photon polarization asymmetry in pion polarizability. We conjecture that the above-mentioned properties of LPB can be revealed in experiments on LHC, RHIC, FAIR and NICA accelerators.

description: ABC-stacked trilayer graphene (TLG) are predicted to exhibit novel many-body phenomena due to the existence of almost dispersionless flat-band structures near the charge neutrality point (CNP). Here, using high magnetic field scanning tunneling microscopy, we present Landau Level (LL) spectroscopy measurements of high-quality ABC-stacked TLG. We observe an approximately linear magnetic-field-scaling of the valley splitting and orbital splitting in the ABC-stacked TLG. Our experiment indicates that the valley splitting decreases dramatically with increasing the LL index. When the lowest LL is partially filled, we find an obvious enhancement of the orbital splitting, attributing to strong many-body effects. Moreover, we observe linear energy scaling of the inverse lifetime of quasiparticles, providing an additional evidence for the strong electron-electron interactions in the ABC-stacked TLG. These results imply that interesting broken-symmetry states and novel electron correlation effects could emerge in the ABC-stacked TLG in the presence of high magnetic fields.

Recent experiments at SATURNE and COSY, in the hadronic sector, as well as ELSA and JLab, in the electromagnetic sector, have confirmed our basic ideas on the reaction mechanisms. In the near future, strangeness production at JLab, HERMES and COMPASS may prove to be a powerful tool to study hadronic matter.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We formulate a hyperspherical approach within standard configuration interaction calculations aiming at a description of large-scale dynamics of $N$-particle system. The channel wave function and the adiabatic channel energy are determined by solving a hyperradius-constrained eigenvalue problem of the adiabatic Hamiltonian. The needed matrix elements are analytically evaluated using correlated Gaussians with good orbital angular momentum and parity. The feasibility of the approach is tested in three-$α$ system. A spectrum of the adiabatic channel energies is determined depending on the degree of localization of the basis functions.

Aplonis fuscus hullianus Mathews, 1912a: 451 (Lord Howe Island).
Now Aplonis fusca hulliana Mathews, 1912. See Hartert, 1928: 192; Amadon, 1962a: 79; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 653–654; and Dickinson, 2003: 653.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 668044, unsexed, collected on Lord Howe Island, 31.28S, 159.09E (Times Atlas), Australia, undated, by (or for) Henry H. Travers. From the Mathews Collection (no. 9361) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews, in the original description, listed his catalog number of the holotype but did not mention other specimens. Opposite his catalog number 9361, Mathews noted that he had obtained this specimen from Rothschild, but a Rothschild Collection label is no longer on the specimen. In addition to Travers’ label, and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, the specimen bears a small metal label imprinted with the number ‘‘0.1486.’’
Mathews (1928: 55) listed this subspecies and gave descriptions of a male and a female, both collected after the description of hulliana; there is no indication that he had more than one specimen when he named the form.
Hartert (1928: 192) listed this specimen as the type of hulliana and noted the uncertainty as to whether the specimen was collected by Travers himself or was collected for him by someone else. The species is considered to be extinct and was not listed by Craig and Feare (2009), but was discussed by Hume and Walters (2012: 275–276).

description: By an extension of the Bethe ansatz method used by Gwa and Spohn, we obtain an exact expression for the large deviation function of the time averaged current for the fully asymmetric exclusion process in a ring containing $N$ sites and $p$ particles. Using this expression we easily recover the exact diffusion constant obtained earlier and calculate as well some higher cumulants. The distribution of the deviation $y$ of the average current is, in the limit $N \to \infty$, skew and decays like $\exp - (A y^{5/2})$ for $y \to + \infty$ and $\exp - (A' |y|^{3/2})$ for $y \to -\infty$. Surprisingly, the large deviation function has an expression very similar to the pressure (as a function of the density) of an ideal Bose or Fermi gas in $3d$.

description: The rapid advancement of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in 2023 has catalyzed transformative shifts across various industries, including urban transportation planning. This study evaluates the applicability of Large Language Models (LLMs) in transportation decision-making, focusing on two hypotheses: (H1) out-of-the-box LLMs exhibit basic transportation knowledge and reasoning capabilities, enabling them to design and execute analytical workflows; and (H2) larger parameter models and fine-tuned models demonstrate superior accuracy and contextual understanding, outperforming smaller and general-purpose models. Using a three-level evaluation framework, we assessed GPT-4 and Phi-3-mini across (1) geospatial skills, (2) domain-specific transportation knowledge, and (3) real-world transport problem-solving in congestion pricing scenarios. Results confirm that while LLMs possess baseline geospatial and transportation reasoning abilities, their effectiveness varies by task complexity. GPT-4 outperformed Phi-3-mini across all evaluation levels, achieving 86% accuracy in GIS tasks, 81% in MATSim comprehension, and 91% in real-world transport decision support, while Phi-3-mini scored 43–72%. These findings highlight the advantages of larger models in structured decision-making tasks and their potential as analytical copilots for transportation planners. The study contributes to the ongoing scientific debate on the role of GenAI in transportation governance, reinforcing the need for fine-tuning and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to enhance LLM performance in structured analytics. Future research should explore newer LLMs, transport-specific fine-tuning, and hybrid AI architectures to improve AI-driven transportation planning and decision support.

description: To study the disc central surface brightness ($μ_0$) distribution in optical and near-infrared bands, we select 708 disc-dominated galaxies within a fixed distance of 57 Mpc from SDSS DR7 and UKIDSS DR10. Then we fit $μ_0$ distribution by using single and double Gaussian profiles with an optimal bin size for the final sample of 538 galaxies in optical $griz$ bands and near-infrared $YJHK$ bands. Among the 8 bands, we find that $μ_{0}$ distribution in optical bands can not be much better fitted with double Gaussian profiles. However, for all the near-infrared bands, the evidence of being better fitted by using double Gaussian profiles is positive. Especially for $K$ band, the evidence of a double Gaussian profile being better than a single Gaussian profile for $μ_{0}$ distribution is very strong, the reliability of which can be approved by 1000 times test for our sample. No dust extinction correction is applied. The difference of $μ_{0}$ distribution between optical and near-infrared bands could be caused by the effect of dust extinction in optical bands. Due to the sample selection criteria, our sample is not absolutely complete. However, the sample incompleteness does not change the double Gaussian distribution of $μ_{0}$ in $K$ band. Furthermore, we discuss some possible reasons for the fitting results of $μ_{0}$ distribution in $K$ band. Conclusively, the double Gaussian distribution of $μ_{0}$ in $K$ band for our sample may depend on bulge-to-disk ratio, color and disk scalelength, rather than the inclination of sample galaxies, bin size and statistical fluctuations.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 226540, adult male, collected on Rennell Island, Solomon Islands, on 21 May 1930, by William F. Coultas, Walter J. Eyerdam, and Hannibal Hamlin on the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 40199).
COMMENTS: In the original description, Mayr gave the AMNH number of the holotype but did not enumerate his specimens, although he described males, females, immatures, and juveniles. Excluding the holotype, all specimens of insularis collected on Rennell Island by the Whitney South Sea Expedition in 1928 and 1930 are paratypes: AMNH 223118, 223120, 223121, one male, two females, 28 August–1 September 1928; AMNH 226481, male, 18 May 1930; AMNH 226537–226539, three males, 16–18 May 1930; AMNH 839381–839384, four females, 27–31 August 1928.
AMNH 226481 had been mistakenly cataloged as Turdus poliocephalus rennellianus in the catalog and was noted as ‘‘not found’’ by LeCroy (2005: 45) when listing type material for the Turdidae; at some point it had been correctly reidentified as Aplonis insularis and the specimen placed with that species without the catalog having been marked. AMNH 839381–839384 had previously been given invalid catalog numbers and have now been given four current numbers.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 227576, adult male, collected on Malaita Island, Solomon Islands (= British Solomon Islands), on 26 February 1930, by Hannibal Hamlin, William Coultas, and Walter Eyerdam on the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 39347).
COMMENTS: Mayr cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description. Paratypes are: AMNH 227559–227575, 227577–227600, 24 males, 17 females, 28 January–8 April 1930. Of these, AMNH 227577 was exchanged to ANSP. On 28 February 1930, the expedition ship France was anchored at Su’u, 09.10S, 150.55E (Times Atlas).
Mayr and Diamond (2001: 400) considered that A. grandis formed a superspecies with A. dichroa and that A.g. malaitae, listed as a megasubspecies, had distinctive characteristics. Craig and Feare (2009: 719) noted that malaitae may constitute a separate species.

description: We present a search for gravitational waves from double neutron star binaries inspirals in Advanced LIGO's first observing run. The search considers a narrow range of binary chirp masses motivated by the population of known double neutron star binaries in the nearby universe. This search differs from previously published results by providing the most sensitive published survey of neutron stars in Advanced LIGO's first observing run within this narrow mass range and including times when only one of the two LIGO detectors was in operation in the analysis. The search was sensitive to binary neutron star inspirals to an average distance of ~85 Mpc over 93.2 days. We do not identify any unambiguous gravitational wave signals in our sample of 103 sub-threshold candidates with false-alarm-rates of less than one per day. However, given the expected binary neutron star merger rate of R = 100 - 4000 Gpc^(-3) yr^(-1), we expect O(1) gravitational wave events within our candidate list. This suggests the possibility that one or more of these candidates is in fact a binary neutron star merger. Although the contamination fraction in our candidate list is ~99%, it might be possible to correlate these events with other messengers to identify a potential multi-messenger signal. We provide an online candidate list with the times and sky locations for all events in order to enable multi-messenger searches.

description: Effect of gravitational magnification on the measurement of distance modulus of type Ia supernovae is presented. We investigate a correlation between magnification and Hubble residual to explore how the magnification affects the estimation of cosmological parameters. We estimate magnification of type Ia supernovae in two distinct methods: one is based on convergence mass reconstruction under the weak lensing limit and the other is based on the direct measurement from galaxies distribution. Both magnification measurements are measured from Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam survey catalogue. For both measurements, we find no significant correlation between Hubble residual and magnification. Furthermore, we correct for the apparent supernovae fluxes obtained by Supernova Legacy Survey 3-year sample using direct measurement of the magnification. We find $Ω_{\rm m0} = 0.287 ^{+0.104} _{-0.085}$ and $w = -1.161 ^{+0.595}_{-0.358}$ for supernovae samples corrected for lensing magnification when we use photometric redshift catalogue of Mizuki, while $Ω_{\rm m0} = 0.253 ^{+0.113} _{-0.087}$ and $w = -1.078 ^{+0.498} _{-0.297}$ for DEmP photo-z catalogue. Therefore, we conclude that the effect of magnification on the supernova cosmology is negligibly small for the current surveys; however, it has to be considered for the future supernova survey like LSST.

description: The magnetic susceptibility chi and specific heat C versus temperature T of the spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic alternating-exchange (J1 and J2) Heisenberg chain are studied for the entire range 0 \leq alpha \leq 1 of the alternation parameter alpha = J2/J1. For the uniform chain (alpha = 1), detailed comparisons of the high-accuracy chi(T) and C(T) Bethe ansatz data of Kluemper and Johnston are made with the asymptotically exact low-T field theory predictions of Lukyanov. QMC simulations and TMRG calculations of chi(alpha,T) are presented. From the low-T TMRG data, the spin gap Delta(alpha)/J1 is extracted for 0.8 \leq alpha \leq 0.995. High accuracy fits to all of the above numerical data are obtained. We examine in detail the theoretical predictions of Bulaevskii for chi(alpha,T) and compare them with our results. Our experimental chi(T) and C(T) data for NaV2O5 single crystals are modeled in detail. The chi(T) data above the spin dimerization temperature Tc = 34 K are not in agreement with the prediction for the uniform Heisenberg chain, but can be explained if there is a moderate ferromagnetic interchain coupling and/or if J changes with T. By fitting the chi(T) data, we obtain Delta(T = 0) = 103(2) K, alternation parameter delta(0) = (1 - alpha)/(1 + alpha) = 0.034(6) and average exchange constant J(0) = 640(80) K. The delta(T) and Delta(T) are derived from the data. A spin pseudogap with a large magnitude \approx 0.4 Delta(0) is consistently found just above Tc, which decreases with increasing T. Analysis of our C(T) data indicates that at Tc, at least 77% of the entropy change due to the transition at Tc and associated order parameter fluctuations arise from the lattice and/or charge degrees of freedom and less than 23% from the spin degrees of freedom.

description: The microbiological behavior of dental polymer materials is crucial to secure the clinical success of dental restorations. Here, the manufacturing process and the machining can play a decisive role. This study investigated the bacterial adhesion on dental polymers as a function of manufacturing techniques (additive/subtractive) and different polishing protocols. Specimens were made from polyaryletherketone (PEEK, PEKK, and AKP), resin-based CAD/CAM materials (composite and PMMA), and printed methacrylate (MA)-based materials. Surface roughness (Rz; Ra) was determined using a laser scanning microscope, and SFE/contact angles were measured using the sessile drop method. After salivary pellicle formation, in vitro biofilm formation was initiated by exposing the specimens to suspensions of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) and Streptococcus sanguinis (S. sanguinis). Adherent bacteria were quantified using a fluorometric assay. One-way ANOVA analysis found significant influences (p < 0.001) for the individual parameters (treatment and material) and their combinations for both types of bacteria. Stronger polishing led to significantly (p < 0.001) less adhesion of S. sanguinis (Pearson correlation PC = −0.240) and S. mutans (PC = −0.206). A highly significant (p = 0.010, PC = 0.135) correlation between S. sanguinis adhesion and Rz was identified. Post hoc analysis revealed significant higher bacterial adhesion for vertically printed MA specimens compared to horizontally printed specimens. Furthermore, significant higher adhesion of S. sanguinis on pressed PEEK was revealed comparing to the other manufacturing methods (milling, injection molding, and 3D printing). The milled PAEK samples showed similar bacterial adhesion. In general, the resin-based materials, composites, and PAEKs showed different bacterial adhesion. Fabrication methods were shown to play a critical role; the pressed PEEK showed the highest initial accumulations. Horizontal DLP fabrication reduced bacterial adhesion. Roughness < 10 µm or polishing appear to be essential for reducing bacterial adhesion.

description: Recognizing human actions in untrimmed videos is an important challenging task. An effective 3D motion representation and a powerful learning model are two key factors influencing recognition performance. In this paper we introduce a new skeleton-based representation for 3D action recognition in videos. The key idea of the proposed representation is to transform 3D joint coordinates of the human body carried in skeleton sequences into RGB images via a color encoding process. By normalizing the 3D joint coordinates and dividing each skeleton frame into five parts, where the joints are concatenated according to the order of their physical connections, the color-coded representation is able to represent spatio-temporal evolutions of complex 3D motions, independently of the length of each sequence. We then design and train different Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (D-CNNs) based on the Residual Network architecture (ResNet) on the obtained image-based representations to learn 3D motion features and classify them into classes. Our method is evaluated on two widely used action recognition benchmarks: MSR Action3D and NTU-RGB+D, a very large-scale dataset for 3D human action recognition. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms previous state-of-the-art approaches whilst requiring less computation for training and prediction.

description: Background: Hybridization is a key driver of plant speciation, and understanding ongoing hybridization provides insights into the underlying process. We studied a hybrid complex in Mediterranean Cyclamen between common C. repandum and rare C. balearicum on Sardinia. Aims: We analyzed variation in the frequency and morphology of different floral types to assess the degree of hybridization and analyze the ecological niche to better understand factors that influence the maintenance of hybrid populations. Methods: We recorded the frequency of the different flower color-types in 45 populations and measured floral traits in 10 of them. We characterized the spatial extent and climatic niche of this hybrid complex. We analyzed floral type variation in four traits (flower size, style and anther length, herkogamy). Results: Hybrid populations occupy a wide area on the NW coast of the island (~1000km2). Sites dominated by hybrid floral types are ecologically marginal for the common parent. The C. repandum-like type is present in all populations and shows a decrease in style and anther length and herkogamy in populations containing a greater proportion of hybrids. Conclusions: This hybrid complex provides an ideal situation to examine reproductive isolation due to variation in the ecological niche of different floral types.

description: The Alpha Centauri system is the primary target for planet search as it is the closest star system composed of a solar twin Alpha Centauri A, a K-dwarf Alpha Centauri B and an M-dwarf Proxima Centauri, which has a confirmed planet in the temperate zone. Alpha Centauri A & B were monitored intensively with the HARPS spectrograph for over 10 years, providing high-precision radial velocity measurements. In this work we study the available data to better understand the stellar activity and other contaminating signals. We highlight the importance of telluric contamination and its impact on the radial velocity measurements. Our suggested procedures lead to discarding about 5% of HARPS data, providing a dataset with an RMS improved by a factor of 2. We compile and quantify the behaviour of 345 spectral lines with a wide range of line shapes and sensitivity to activity.
Polyelectrolyte Solutions with Multivalent Salts

description: We investigate the thermodynamic properties of a polyelectrolyte solution in a presence of {\it multivalent} salts. The polyions are modeled as rigid cylinders with the charge distributed uniformly along the major axis. The solution, besides the polyions, contain monovalent and divalent counterions as well as monovalent coions. The strong electrostatic attraction existing between the polyions and the counterions results in formation of clusters consisting of one polyion and a number of associated monovalent and divalent counterions. The theory presented in the paper allows us to explicitly construct the Helmholtz free energy of a polyelectrolyte solution. The characteristic cluster size, as well as any other thermodynamic property can then be determined by an appropriate operation on the free energy.

description: Background: The purpose of this study was to describe how patients with persistent pain experience physiotherapist-guided Free Movement Dance (FMD) as a physiotherapy intervention. Methods: Individual interviews were conducted with 20 patients who had participated in FMD for 1–6 semesters with different guiding physiotherapists. The interviews were transcribed and analysed using qualitative content analysis with an inductive approach as described by Graneheim and Lundman. Results: The analysis resulted in one overarching theme—Physiotherapist-guided Free Movement Dance is empowering in everyday living—and five subthemes: Breaking unhealthy patterns generates physical confidence and strength, Developing greater understanding of the body signals, Accepting pain is important but challenging, Taking responsibility for myself and my well-being and Feeling calmer and happier in life. Conclusions: FMD was experienced as a physiotherapy intervention that enabled the patients to develop an awareness of their own movement, and also leading to the feeling of being empowered in everyday living. FMD can be seen to be in concordance with the core values of physiotherapy that individuals have the capacity to change as a result of their responses to physical, psychological, social and environmental factors.

description: The recently observed $α$-decay chain ${}^{108}\text{Xe}\to{}^{104}\text{Te}\to{}^{100}\text{Sn}$ [K.~Auranen \emph{et al.}, Phys.\ Rev.\ Lett.\ {\bf121}, 182501 (2018)] could provide valuable information on the $α$ clustering in even-even nuclei slightly above the major shells $Z=50$ and $N=50$. In this work, this $α$-decay chain is studied theoretically within the framework of the density-dependent cluster model plus the two-potential approach. We calculate the $α$-decay half-lives of ${}^{104}$Te and ${}^{108}$Xe and study in detail their dependence on the $Q$ value and the density-profile parameters of the core nucleus. Various physical properties of ${}^{104}$Te, the heaviest nucleus with a doubly magic self-conjugate core $+$ $α$, are calculated, with two different assumptions on the renormalization factor of the double-folding potential, which could be a useful reference for future experimental studies.
