description: Fresnel reflection has been known for centuries to fundamentally impede efficient transmittance across planar interfaces, especially at grazing incidence. Herein, we present the generalized Huygens' condition (GHC) to resolve such intricacies in metasurface (MS) designs and allow omnidirectional transparency. Compared to common numerical antireflective-coating approaches, our analytical framework yields surprisingly simple closed form conditions, carefully leveraging the natural nonlocal mechanisms endowed in planar electromagnetic structures. At the meta-atom level, we meet the GHC by balancing traditional tangential susceptibilities of Huygens' MSs with their unconventional normal counterparts; the latter facilitates the key requisite of vanishing backscattering at the challenging grazing incidence scenario. At the MS level, we sheerly utilize this central insight to engineer realistic all-angle transparent printed-circuit-board (PCB) cascaded admittance sheets. Thoroughly validated in simulation and experiment, this universal GHC demonstrates a resourceful venue for practical implementation of advanced nonlocal devices, e.g., flat optical components, optical analog computers, and spaceplates.

description: Expanding the use of surface electromyography-biofeedback (EMG-BF) devices in different therapeutic settings highlights the gradually evolving role of visualizing muscle activity in the rehabilitation process. This review evaluates their concepts, uses, and trends, combining evidence-based research. This review dissects the anatomy of EMG-BF systems, emphasizing their transformative integration with machine-learning (ML) and deep-learning (DL) paradigms. Advances such as the application of sophisticated DL architectures for high-density EMG data interpretation, optimization techniques for heightened DL model performance, and the fusion of EMG with electroencephalogram (EEG) signals have been spotlighted for enhancing biomechanical analyses in rehabilitation. The literature survey also categorizes EMG-BF devices based on functionality and clinical usage, supported by insights from commercial sectors. The current landscape of EMG-BF is rapidly evolving, chiefly propelled by innovations in artificial intelligence (AI). The incorporation of ML and DL into EMG-BF systems augments their accuracy, reliability, and scope, marking a leap in patient care. Despite challenges in model interpretability and signal noise, ongoing research promises to address these complexities, refining biofeedback modalities. The integration of AI not only predicts patient-specific recovery timelines but also tailors therapeutic interventions, heralding a new era of personalized medicine in rehabilitation and emotional detection.
A Unified Symbolic Framework for the P versus NP Problem

Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: Mathematical logic

description: The P versus NP problem is one of the most central open questions intheoretical computer science. In this paper, we present a unified symbolicframework that models problem solving as an iterative process, unifying candidate generation and efficient verification.

Our approach outlines a mechanism in which an initial problem instance is transformedinto a candidate solution by a transition operator T, and then verifiedby a polynomial-time verification operator V . While the framework isconceptual and relies on certain assumptions regarding the efficiency ofT and the convergence of the iterative process, it provides a promisingavenue for exploring how NP problems might be solved in polynomialtime. The demonstration also identifies key challenges that need furtherinvestigation, such as bounding the number of iterations and addressingcomplexity-theoretic barriers. We hope this perspective will inspire futurework in resolving this profound question.

description: A continuum mechanical theory with foundations in generalized Finsler geometry describes the complex anisotropic behavior of skin. A fiber bundle approach, encompassing total spaces with assigned linear and nonlinear connections, geometrically characterizes evolving configurations of a deformable body with microstructure. An internal state vector is introduced on each configuration, describing subscale physics. A generalized Finsler metric depends on position and the state vector, where the latter dependence allows for both direction (i.e., as in Finsler geometry) as well as magnitude. Equilibrium equations are derived using a variational method, extending concepts of finite-strain hyperelasticity coupled to phase-field mechanics to generalized Finsler space. For application to skin tearing, state vector components represent microscopic damage processes (e.g., fiber rearrangements and ruptures) in different directions with respect to intrinsic orientations (e.g., parallel or perpendicular to Langer's lines). Nonlinear potentials, motivated from soft-tissue mechanics and phase-field fracture theories, are assigned with orthotropic material symmetry pertinent to properties of skin. Governing equations are derived for one- and two-dimensional base manifolds. Analytical solutions capture experimental force-stretch data, toughness, and observations on evolving microstructure, in a more geometrically and physically descriptive way than prior phenomenological models.

description: Adiabatic evolution is an emergent design principle for time modulated metamaterials, often inspired by insights from topological quantum computing such as braiding operations. However, the pursuit of classical adiabatic metamaterials is rooted in the assumption that classical and quantum adiabatic evolution are equivalent. We show that this is only true in the limit where the frequencies of all the bands are at infinite distance from $0$; and some instances of quantum adiabatic evolution, such as those containing zero modes, cannot be reproduced in classical systems. This is because mode coupling is fundamentally different in classical mechanics. We derive classical conditions to ensure adiabaticity and demonstrate that only under these conditions - which are different from quantum adiabatic conditions -, the single band Berry phase and Wilczek-Zee matrix for everywhere degenerate bands emerge as meaningful quantities encoding the geometry of classical adiabatic evolution. Finally, for general multiband systems we uncover a correction term in the non-Abelian gauge potential for classical systems.

description: The behavior of financial markets has frustrated, and continues to frustrate, investors and academics. By utilizing a complex systems framework, researchers have discovered new fields of investigations that have provided meaningful insight into the behavior of financial markets. The use of agent-based models (ABMs) and the inclusion of network science have played an important role in increasing the relevance of the complex systems to financial markets. The challenge of how best to combine these new techniques to produce meaningful results that can be accepted by the broader community remains an issue. By implementing an artificial stock market that utilizes an Ising model based agent-based model (ABM), this paper provides insights into the mechanisms that drive the returns in financial markets, including periods of elevated prices and excess volatility. A key finding is that the network topology investors form significantly a+ects the behavior of the market, with the exception being if investors have a bias to following their neighbors, at which point the topology becomes redundant. The model also investigates the impact of introducing multiple risky assets, something that has been absent in previous attempts. By successfully addressing these issues this paper helps to refine and shape a variety of further research tasks for the use of ABMs in uncovering the dynamics of financial markets.

description: Lumbar spine surgery is a crucial intervention for addressing spinal injuries or conditions affecting the spine, often involving lumbar fusion through pedicle screw (PS) insertion. The precision of PS placement is pivotal in orthopedic surgery. This systematic review compares the accuracy of robot-guided (RG) surgery with free-hand fluoroscopy-guided (FFG), free-hand without fluoroscopy-guided (FHG), and computed tomography image-guided (CTG) techniques for PS insertion. A systematic search of various databases from 1 January 2013 to 30 December 2023 was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Primary outcomes, including PS insertion accuracy and breach rate, were analyzed using a random-effects model. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The overall accuracy of PS insertion using RG, based on 37 studies involving 3,837 patients and 22,117 PS, is 97.9%, with a breach rate of 0.021. RG demonstrated superior accuracy compared to FHG and CTG, with breach rates of 3.4 and 0.015 respectively for RG versus FHG, and 3.8 and 0.026 for RG versus CTG. Additionally, RG was associated with reduced mean estimated blood loss compared to CTG, indicating improved safety. The RG is associated with enhanced accuracy of PS insertion and reduced breach rates over other methods. However, additional randomized controlled trials comparing these modalities are needed for further validation. CRD42023483997
Magnetic order in the computational 2D materials database (C2DB) from high throughput spin spiral calculations

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: We report a detailed investigation of the magnetic order in 192 stable magnetic two-dimensional materials from the Computational 2D Materials Database having one magnetic atom in the unit cell. The calculations are based on a systematic workflow that employs spin spiral calculations and yields the magnetic order in terms of a two-dimensional ordering vector $\mathbf{Q}$. We then include spin-orbit coupling to extract the easy and hard axes for collinear structures and the orientation of spiral planes in non-collinear structures. Finally, for all predicted ferromagnets we compute the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions and determine whether or not these are strong enough to overcome the magnetic anisotropy and stabilise a chiral spin spiral ground state. These steps completely determines the ground state order within the spiralling ansatz. We find 58 ferromagnets, 21 collinear anti-ferromagnets, and 85 non-collinear ground states of which 15 are chiral spin spirals driven by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions. The results show that non-collinear order is in fact as common as collinear order in these materials and emphasise the need for detailed investigation of the magnetic ground state when reporting magnetic properties of new materials. Furthermore, non-collinear order typically breaks symmetries inherent to the lattice and may give rise to emergent properties such as multiferroicity, magnetoelectricity or second order optical effects that would be predicted as absent based on a collinear assumption.

description: School mobility is inversely associated with income and has negative effects on school achievement, however previous research has not investigated the impact of mobility between public school pre-kindergarten (pre-K) and kindergarten on later academic outcomes. Using data from the Miami School Readiness Project (MSRP), I examined a large (N = 18,775) and ethnically diverse (34.7% Black, 54.9% Latino, 10.4% White/other) sample of children who attended public school pre-K and kindergarten in Miami between the school years of 2002 to 2007. I addressed the following research questions: (1) What proportion of children attending public school pre-kindergarten programs in Miami switch to a different public school for kindergarten? (2) How do the children that switch schools differ from those children who do not switch schools regarding gender, race, poverty status, ELL status, and developmental assessments administered at age three or four? (3) After controlling for the differences in demographics and pre-K assessment scores between those that do and do not move, how do the outcomes between children who switch and children who do not switch from pre-kindergarten to kindergarten differ at the end of kindergarten and at the end of first grade? (4) Does pre-K school quality predict switching schools between public school pre-K and kindergarten? (5) Does the direction and magnitude of school quality change moderate the effects of switching schools between pre-K and kindergarten and later school performance? Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that even after accounting for demographic variables (e.g. free/reduced lunch, gender, ethnicity, and ELL status), those receiving free/reduced lunch and Blacks (compared to Latinos and Whites) had increased odds of switching schools, and ELLs had decreased odds of switching schools between public pre-K and kindergarten. Further analyses revealed that switching schools between public pre-K and kindergarten negatively predicted academic outcomes in first grade, but not in Kindergarten. Results also indicate that lower school quality in pre-K increased the odds of switching schools, and that initial school quality in pre-K and the school quality change between pre-K and kindergarten positively predicted first grade academic outcomes. Implications of school mobility between public pre-K and kindergarten and early school quality are discussed.

description: This thesis describes an international impact of cyber espionage with an emphasis on the United States of America and its National Security Agency's clandestine tactics among its Western allies in the Transatlantic region. The National Security Agency's covert operations had came to world attention, through the media, when various tactics of mass surveillance had become public in June 2013. Which was consequentially followed by other revelations on later dates. The US had acknowledged there is much more information still in the hands of a former agent, which could lead to more international difficulties. In the process of researching and writing this thesis, the author conducted a literature search and reviews internal documents, literature reviews, news articles etc. This thesis is in fulfillment for a graduate course on conflict analysis and resolution/conflict resolution and Mediterranean security.

Publisher: name: Old Dominion University

Year: 2000

description: In 1997, Siemens Automotive in Newport News, Virginia, conducted mass flow experiments on their DEKA IV natural gas fuel injector using nitrogen gas as the test fluid. The mass flow rates measured from the steady state flow experiments increased linearly with increasing upstream reservoir pressure. This relationship in the experimental data suggested that a choked flow condition must exist somewhere inside the injector.

To test this hypothesis, nitrogen gas flow through the internal passages of a fuel injector at steady state was simulated using computational fluid dynamics software. Several numerical models were constructed. Axisymmetric two-dimensional models were constructed of the needle and seat area based on a prototype drawing of the test injector. Body-fitted curvilinear grids were mapped to each geometry. The models were then used to predict the effects of compressibility, turbulence, changing pressure boundary conditions, grid size and geometry on the flow solution. Predictions from the numerical models were compared to actual measured values obtained from the steady state flow experiments. Data from the numerical models agreed with the experimental findings of choked flow conditions in the exit orifice of the injector. Details of the internal flow field are presented.

description: Computationally hard combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) are ubiquitous in many applications, including logistical planning, resource allocation, chip design, drug explorations, and more. Due to their critical significance and the inability of conventional hardware in efficiently handling scaled COPs, there is a growing interest in developing computing hardware tailored specifically for COPs, including digital annealers, dynamical Ising machines, and quantum/photonic systems. However, significant hurdles still remain, such as the memory access issue, the system scalability and restricted applicability to certain types of COPs, and VLSI-incompatibility, respectively. Here, a ferroelectric field effect transistor (FeFET) based compute-in-memory (CiM) annealer is proposed. After converting COPs into quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) formulations, a hardware-algorithm co-design is conducted, yielding an energy-efficient, versatile, and scalable hardware for COPs. To accelerate the core vector-matrix-vector (VMV) multiplication of QUBO formulations, a FeFET based CiM array is exploited, which can accelerate the intended operation in-situ due to its unique three-terminal structure. In particular, a lossless compression technique is proposed to prune typically sparse QUBO matrix to reduce hardware cost. Furthermore, a multi-epoch simulated annealing (MESA) algorithm is proposed to replace conventional simulated annealing for its faster convergence and better solution quality. The effectiveness of the proposed techniques is validated through the utilization of developed chip prototypes for successfully solving graph coloring problem, indicating great promise of FeFET CiM annealer in solving general COPs.

description: This qualitative case study was conducted in order to better understand how grassroots efforts and campus culture influenced the decision to reverse the closing of Sweet Briar College in 2015. This study allowed for an in-depth analysis of how Sweet Briar College was saved, provided data for other small institutions that face the potential of closing, and offered examples of successful grassroots efforts. Using interviews and document review as data sources, four categories emerged from the findings: a culture of empowerment and responsibility, wide social network, sustained activism, and legal influences. The culture of empowerment and responsibility, together with the wide social network of Sweet Briar College’s alumnae are the categories that revealed and supported the influence that grassroots efforts and campus culture had on the saving of Sweet Briar College. This study suggests that the campus culture before the closing announcement at Sweet Briar College created an atmosphere among students and alumnae that supported grassroots efforts and sustained activism, which when paired with the legal proceedings surrounding this case were the ultimate contributors in the decision to reverse Sweet Briar College’s closing.

Moreover we relate the mixing property of those operators with the solvability of Abel's functional equation and we give a sufficient condition for sequential hypercyclicity of composition operators on $\mathscr{O}_M(\mathbb{R})$. This is used to prove that many mixing composition operators are hypercyclic.

description: Civic duty has been perceived as a key determinant of turnout. That is, while dutiful citizens turn out in large numbers, those who conceive of voting as a choice do less so. The strong correlation between civic duty and turnout might be due to reverse causation, however. Specifically, individuals might adapt their sense of duty according to previous voting behavior. In this article, we leverage Belgium’s compulsory voting system and the age-based discontinuity for the right to vote, and estimate the effects of being treated with participation on civic duty. We do not find “treated” citizens to be more likely to report civic duty than their “non-treated” counterparts. This finding holds across a series of robustness tests, and suggests that civic duty is exogenous to the vote.

description: We perform a unified description of the experimental data of the $π^+π^-$ and $J/ψπ^\pm$ invariant mass spectra for $e^+e^- \rightarrow J/ψπ^+π^-$ and the $D^0 D^{\ast-}$ mass spectrum for $e^+e^- \rightarrow D^0 D^{\ast-} π^+$ at $e^+e^-$ center-of-mass energies 4.23 and 4.26 GeV. The analysis takes into account open-charm meson loops that contain triangle singularities, the $J/ψπ$-$D\bar D^*$ coupled-channel interaction respecting unitarity, and the strong $ππ$-$K\bar K$ final state interaction using dispersion relations. The analysis leads to a precise determination of the $Z_c(3900)$ pole with the pole mass and width $(3880.7 \pm 1.7_\text{stat}\pm 22.4_\text{syst})$ MeV and $(35.9 \pm 1.4_\text{stat}\pm 15.3_\text{syst})$ MeV, respectively, and hints at that the $D\bar D^*$ molecular and non-molecular components are of similar importance in the $Z_c(3900)$ formation.

description: Are more politically knowledgeable registered voters more likely to cast their ballots prior to Election Day when given an option to do so? We argue that individuals with high political knowledge are more likely to take advantage of convenience voting opportunities because they have command over static-general facts, enabling them to make informed choices when voting. Drawing on five Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES) pre- and post-election national surveys and an original survey of registered voters in Florida conducted in 2017, we test if political knowledge aﬀects the method of voting. Estimating a series of multinomial logistic regression models with fixed-eﬀects for voters registered in American states that permit convenience voting, and controlling for socio-economic, political, and campaign eﬀects, we find that voters with greater static-general political knowledge are more likely to vote early, and those with low political knowledge are more likely to wait until Election Day to cast their ballot.

Learning VAA: A new method for matching users to parties in voting advice applications

description: Voting Advice Applications (VAAs) aim to increase voters’ political competence by providing them with the closest political party according to their preferences. To do this, VAAs usually compare and aggregate the positions of users and political parties on a set of policy issues by defining a conceptual space and some distance metric on it. In this paper, we argue that the main method for performing the comparison adapts to users’ preferences unsatisfactorily because 1) they use unjustified a priori decisions for weighting policy issues and 2) they employ the same issue-voting space on all policy issues. Some exceptional cases address these issues by providing a community-based recommendation, but often come with lack of interpretability. To fill these gaps, we propose an adaptive algorithm that learns the configuration of the conceptual space from users’ answers. We employ a hybrid VAA that uses expert coding for the party positions and users’ data to adjust the calculation of the distance between users and parties. This new matching method, the Learning VAA, innovates by adjusting the saliency and issue-voting space for every policy issue. We argue and empirically demonstrate that our model fits better the users’ preferences while providing a higher degree of interpretability.

AMLNet: Adversarial Mutual Learning Neural Network for Non-AutoRegressive Multi-Horizon Time Series Forecasting
Creators: name: Lin, Yang
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Multi-horizon time series forecasting, crucial across diverse domains, demands high accuracy and speed. While AutoRegressive (AR) models excel in short-term predictions, they suffer speed and error issues as the horizon extends. Non-AutoRegressive (NAR) models suit long-term predictions but struggle with interdependence, yielding unrealistic results. We introduce AMLNet, an innovative NAR model that achieves realistic forecasts through an online Knowledge Distillation (KD) approach. AMLNet harnesses the strengths of both AR and NAR models by training a deep AR decoder and a deep NAR decoder in a collaborative manner, serving as ensemble teachers that impart knowledge to a shallower NAR decoder. This knowledge transfer is facilitated through two key mechanisms: 1) outcome-driven KD, which dynamically weights the contribution of KD losses from the teacher models, enabling the shallow NAR decoder to incorporate the ensemble's diversity; and 2) hint-driven KD, which employs adversarial training to extract valuable insights from the model's hidden states for distillation. Extensive experimentation showcases AMLNet's superiority over conventional AR and NAR models, thereby presenting a promising avenue for multi-horizon time series forecasting that enhances accuracy and expedites computation.

The Dark Triad and nascent political ambition

description: This research considers the effects of the personality characteristics of Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy (labeled the Dark Triad) on political ambition. Research on nascent ambition has shown that individuals who express political ambition differ by social background, gender, and personality. Using original survey research, our analyses find that Dark Triad traits are significantly related to ambition. Respondents who score higher in Machiavellianism are more likely to have higher political ambition, more likely to enjoy the specific aspects of campaigning, and more likely to predict they will be successful candidates. While narcissism is related to feeling qualified and thinking about running for political office, individuals scoring higher in narcissism are less likely to express interest in the specific work of political campaigning. The results have implications for understanding the traits that drive political ambition and how the body politic gets the politicians it needs, though possibly not the politicians it wants.
How do baryonic effects on the cosmic matter distribution vary with scale and local density environment?

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this study, we investigate how the baryonic effects vary with scale and local density environment mainly by utilizing a novel statistic, the environment-dependent wavelet power spectrum (env-WPS). With four state-of-the-art cosmological simulation suites, EAGLE, SIMBA, Illustris, and IllustrisTNG, we compare the env-WPS of the total matter density field between the hydrodynamic and dark matter-only (DMO) runs at $z=0$. We find that the clustering is most strongly suppressed in the emptiest environment of $ρ_\mathrm{m}/\barρ_\mathrm{m}<0.1$ with maximum amplitudes $\sim67-89$ per cent on scales $\sim1.86-10.96\ h\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$, and less suppressed in higher density environments on small scales (except Illustris). In the environments of $ρ_\mathrm{m}/\barρ_\mathrm{m}\geqslant0.316$ ($\geqslant10$ in EAGLE), the feedbacks also lead to enhancement features at intermediate and large scales, which is most pronounced in the densest environment of $ρ_\mathrm{m}/\barρ_\mathrm{m}\geqslant100$ and reaches a maximum $\sim 7-15$ per cent on scales $\sim0.87-2.62\ h\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ (except Illustris). The baryon fraction of the local environment decreases with increasing density, denoting the feedback strength, and potentially explaining some differences between simulations. We also measure the volume and mass fractions of local environments, which are affected by $\gtrsim 1$ per cent due to baryon physics. In conclusion, our results show that the baryonic processes can strongly modify the overall cosmic structure on the scales of $k>0.1\ h\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$, which encourages further research in this direction.
