Healthy European peatlands require specific temperature and water level parameters
Efforts to enhance peat accumulation in European peatlands, which contain around half of Europe's soil carbon, will require a combination of warm temperatures and a specific depth of the water table, according to a study published in PLOS One by Graeme Swindles of Queen's University Belfast, U.K. and colleagues.

I was talking to someone yesterday (let's call them A) and they had another "AI" experience, I thought might happen but hadn't heard of before.
They were interacting with an organization and upon asking a specific thing got a very specific answer. Weeks later that organization claimed it had never said what they said and when A showed the email as proof the defense was: Oh yeah, we're an international organization and it's busy right now so the person who sent…

Steering Conceptual Bias via Transformer Latent-Subspace Activation
This work examines whether activating latent subspaces in language models (LLMs) can steer scientific code generation toward a specific programming language. Five causal LLMs were first evaluated on scientific coding prompts to quantify their baseline bias among four programming languages. A static neuron-attribution method, perturbing the highest activated MLP weight for a C++ or CPP token, proved brittle and exhibited limited generalization across prompt styles and model scales. To address th…

TimelyHLS: LLM-Based Timing-Aware and Architecture-Specific FPGA HLS Optimization
Achieving timing closure and design-specific optimizations in FPGA-targeted High-Level Synthesis (HLS) remains a significant challenge due to the complex interaction between architectural constraints, resource utilization, and the absence of automated support for platform-specific pragmas. In this work, we propose TimelyHLS, a novel framework integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to automatically generate and iteratively refine HLS code optimized for…

Spectra and invariant subspaces of compressed shifts on nearly invariant subspaces
While the spectral properties and invariant subspaces of compressed shifts on model spaces are well understood, their behaviour on nearly $S^*$-invariant subspaces, a natural generalization with weaker structural constraints, remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we completely characterize the point spectrum, whole spectrum and invariant subspace structure for such compressed shifts by unitary equivalence, using the Frostman shift, Crofoot transform, and Sz.-Nagy--Foias theory. Our results…

Hiord: An Approach to the Specification and Verification of Higher-Order (C)LP Programs
Higher-order constructs enable more expressive and concise code by allowing procedures to be parameterized by other procedures. Assertions allow expressing partial program specifications, which can be verified either at compile time (statically) or run time (dynamically). In higher-order programs, assertions can also describe higher-order arguments. While in the context of (C)LP, run-time verification of higher-order assertions has received some attention, compile-time verification remains rela…
