Strict Comparisons of Infinite Utility Streams
There exists a preference relation on infinite utility streams that does not discriminate between different periods, satisfies the Pareto criterion, and so that almost all pairs of utility streams are strictly comparable. Such a preference relation provides a counterexample to a claim in [Zame, William R. ``Can intergenerational equity be operationalized?'' Theoretical Economics 2.2 (2007): 187-202.]

A "watch your replay videos" reflection assignment on comparing programming without versus with generative AI: learning about programming, critical AI use and limitations, and reflection
Generative AI is disrupting computing education. Most interventions focus on teaching GenAI use rather than helping students understand how AI changes their programming process. We designed and deployed a novel comparative video reflection assignment adapting the Describe, Examine, then Articulate Learning (DEAL) framework. In an introductory software engineering course, students recorded themselves programming during their team project two times: first without, then with using generative AI. S…

Towards Quantum Simulation of Rotating Nuclei using Quantum Variational Algorithms
Quantum variational algorithms (QVAs) are becoming increasingly potent tools for simulating quantum many-body systems, in particular, on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. The application of QVAs, more especially the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE), to schematic model simulation is examined in this work. The cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky (CNS) framework serves as a foundation for comprehending high-spin phenomena in deformed nuclei. Using single-particle level spacings, pairing…

Self-trapping and skin solitons in two-dimensional non-Hermitian lattices
In the context of non-Hermitian photonics, we systematically investigate the spectral and dynamical aspects of two-dimensional nonlinear Hatano-Nelson lattices. In particular, we examine the interplay between self-trapping, due to nonlinearity, and propagation due to the non-Hermitian skin effect. These antagonistic effects give rise to amplitude thresholds - above which self-trapping in a single-channel dominates - that depend highly on the position of initial excitation and the degree of coup…

Mass Proxy Quality of Massive Halo Properties in the IllustrisTNG and FLAMINGO Simulations: I. Hot Gas
We examine scale and redshift dependence of mass-property relations (MPRs) for five hot gas properties of two large group- and cluster-scale halo samples realized by the IllustrisTNG, TNG-Cluster and FLAMINGO cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. For intrinsic properties of i) hot gas mass ($M_{\rm gas}$), ii) spectroscopic-like temperature ($T_{\rm sl}$), iii) soft-band X-ray luminosity ($L_{\rm X}$), and iv) X-ray ($Y_{\rm X}$) and v) Sunyaev-Zel'dovich ($Y_{\rm SZ}$) thermal energies, we …

Using Psychophysiological Insights to Evaluate the Impact of Loot Boxes on Arousal
This study investigates the psychophysiological effects of loot box interactions in video games and their potential similarities to those recorded during gambling interactions. Using electrodermal activity (EDA) measurements, the research examines player arousal during loot box interactions and explores the relationship between Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) severity and loot box interactions from a psychophysiological perspective. The study employs a custom-designed game to control experimenta…

Identification of Causal Effects with a Bunching Design
We show that causal effects can be identified when there is bunching in the distribution of a continuous treatment variable, without imposing any parametric assumptions. This yields a new nonparametric method for overcoming selection bias in the absence of instrumental variables, panel data, or other popular research designs for causal inference. The method leverages the change of variables theorem from integration theory, relating the selection bias to the ratio of the density of the treatment…

Enhanced Star Formation and Black Hole Accretion Rates in Galaxy Mergers in IllustrisTNG50
Many theoretical and observational studies have suggested that galaxy mergers may trigger enhanced star formation or active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity. We present an analysis of merging and nonmerging galaxies from $0.2 \leq z \leq 3$ in the IllustrisTNG50 simulation. These galaxies encompass a range of masses ($M_\star > 10^{8}M_\odot$), multiple merger stages, and mass ratios ($\geq1:10$). We examine the effect that galaxy mergers have on star formation and black hole accretion rates in t…
