The cosmic-ray sea explains the Galactic $γ$-ray and $ν$ diffuse emissions from GeV to PeV
The LHAASO collaboration has recently released the spectrum and the angular distribution of the gamma-ray Galactic diffuse emission from 1 TeV to 1 PeV measured with the Kilometer-2 Array (KM2A) and the Water Cherenkov Detector Array (WCDA). We show that those data are in remarkably good agreement with a set of pre-existing models that assume the emission to be produced by the Galactic population of cosmic rays if its spectral shape traces that measured by CALET, DAMPE as well as KASCADE at hig…

Liz Cheney sets the record straight on Trump's treason.
Cheney: “Actually, Doug Burgum, Trump didn’t just negotiate with terrorists,
he invited the Taliban to Camp David on the anniversary of 9/11
and had his Secretary of State sign a surrender agreement with them.”

Enhancing Uncertainty Quantification for Runtime Safety Assurance Using Causal Risk Analysis and Operational Design Domain
Ensuring the runtime safety of autonomous systems remains challenging due to deep learning components' inherent uncertainty and their sensitivity to environmental changes. In this paper, we propose an enhancement of traditional uncertainty quantification by explicitly incorporating environmental conditions using risk-based causal analysis. We leverage Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA) and fault tree modeling to identify critical operational conditions affecting system functionality. Th…

DRIVE Through the Unpredictability:From a Protocol Investigating Slip to a Metric Estimating Command Uncertainty
Off-road autonomous navigation is a challenging task as it is mainly dependent on the accuracy of the motion model. Motion model performances are limited by their ability to predict the interaction between the terrain and the UGV, which an onboard sensor can not directly measure. In this work, we propose using the DRIVE protocol to standardize the collection of data for system identification and characterization of the slip state space. We validated this protocol by acquiring a dataset with two…

A Planar Huygens Antenna Utilizing Crossed Electric and Magnetic Dipoles
The natural source of a magnetic dipole in antennas is typically an electrically small loop, which can be utilized in conjunction with an electric dipole to realize an electrically small Huygens' antenna. However, these antennas suffer from low radiation efficiency and their theoretical directivity limit is 4.8 dBi. Magnetic dipoles with an electrical size larger than 0.5lambda are highly desirable for high-gain applications. This paper builds on the development of a magnetic dipole source that…

Quantitative agreement between experiment and theory for Vibrational Circular Dichroism enhanced by electronically excited states
Intensity enhancement in vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) arises in open-shell transition metal complexes from coupling between low-lying excited states (LLESs) and ground-state vibrational modes. In this work we apply Nafie's vibronic coupling theory to M(II)-(-)-sparteine-Cl$_2$ to investigate these enhancement effects. We show that the VCD intensity is extremely sensitive to the excitation energies that neither time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) nor state-averaged complete …
