YouTube mega streamer IShowSpeed's recent visits to Lithuania and China show how countries are focusing on creators' fan bases as a new strategy for soft power (Drew Harwell/Washington Post)

An American mega-influencer flew to Lithuania. Then the chaos began.
The streamer IShowSpeed drank pink soup in the Baltics, marveled at cars in China and made friends in Saudi Arabia. Are his tours propaganda, or just good advertising?

Effects of matter with anisotropic pressure on the Fan-Wang regular black hole shadows
We here investigate the consequences of an exotic fluid, exhibiting negative radial and tangential pressures, \emph{de facto} violating the Zel'dovich limit, on a regular solution that easily generalizes the Schwarzschild black hole. More precisely, we focus on the regular Fan-Wang spacetime, computing how the black hole shadow images, surrounded by the quoted fluid, is modified through the presence of \emph{negative} equations of state for the two pressure components. Even though quite differe…

Large Language Model-Based Task Offloading and Resource Allocation for Digital Twin Edge Computing Networks
In this paper, we propose a general digital twin edge computing network comprising multiple vehicles and a server. Each vehicle generates multiple computing tasks within a time slot, leading to queuing challenges when offloading tasks to the server. The study investigates task offloading strategies, queue stability, and resource allocation. Lyapunov optimization is employed to transform long-term constraints into tractable short-term decisions. To solve the resulting problem, an in-context lear…

Extreme Cardiac MRI Analysis under Respiratory Motion: Results of the CMRxMotion Challenge
Deep learning models have achieved state-of-the-art performance in automated Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) analysis. However, the efficacy of these models is highly dependent on the availability of high-quality, artifact-free images. In clinical practice, CMR acquisitions are frequently degraded by respiratory motion, yet the robustness of deep learning models against such artifacts remains an underexplored problem. To promote research in this domain, we organized the MICCAI CMRxMotion chall…

We study the joint scheduling of behind-the-meter distributed energy resources (DERs), including flexible loads, renewable generation, and battery energy storage systems, under net energy metering frameworks with demand charges. The problem is formulated as a stochastic dynamic program aimed at maximizing expected operational surplus while accounting for renewable generation uncertainty. We analytically characterize the structure of the optimal control policy and show that it admits a threshold…

Hydrodynamic Theory of Two-dimensional Chiral Malthusian Flocks
We study the hydrodynamic behavior of two-dimensional chiral dry Malthusian flocks; that is, chiral polar-ordered active matter with neither number nor momentum conservation. We show that, in the absence of fluctuations, such systems generically form a ``time cholesteric", in which the velocity of the entire system rotates uniformly at a fixed frequency b. Fluctuations about this state belong to the universality class of (2+1)-Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation, which implies short-ranged orien…

Thermodynamic relation on rotating charged black strings with arbitrary cosmological constant
The Goon-Penco (GP) relation was investigated on rotating charged black strings with an arbitrary cosmological constant. It has been demonstrated that the GP relation retains its form in the context of spacetimes described by cylindrical coordinates. In addition, the GP relation is derived in scenarios where the energy state parameters (including angular momentum $J$ and charge $Q$, etc.) are expressed as functions of the perturbation parameter $η$. This finding indicates that the GP relation …

Structures and properties of fan-shaped jets: H$α$ dark blobs and transparent regions
We investigated three fan-shaped jets observed above sunspot light bridges or nearby sunspot regions. The study aimed to explore the dynamics and physical properties of jets' features that appear as blob-like structures at the tips of the jets, which we call `dark blobs'. A transparent region is observed beneath the dark blobs, creating a visible gap between the dark blobs and the trailing body of the jets. These phenomena were studied in chromospheric and transition region imaging and spectral…

Envelope Control Enabled Probabilistic Shaping for Peak Power Constrained IM DD Systems
Probabilistic shaping (PS) has attracted significant attention in intensity-modulation and direct-detection (IM-DD) systems. However, due to the unique system model and inherent constraints, the effective application of the PS technique is still an open question in IM-DD systems, particularly in systems with memory effects. In this paper, a novel indirect PS scheme tailored for peak power constrained (PPC) IM-DD systems is proposed. The key idea lies in strategically controlling the signal enve…

We describe the associated nilpotent cones, examine their compatibility conditions, and construct the weak fan governing the degeneration behavior. This computation contributes …

Collusion-Resilient Hierarchical Secure Aggregation with Heterogeneous Security Constraints
Motivated by federated learning (FL), secure aggregation (SA) aims to securely compute, as efficiently as possible, the sum of a set of inputs distributed across many users. To understand the impact of network topology, hierarchical secure aggregation (HSA) investigated the communication and secret key generation efficiency in a 3-layer relay network, where clusters of users are connected to the aggregation server through an intermediate layer of relays. Due to the pre-aggregation of the messag…

Understanding the magnetic field and plasma-$β$ along umbral fan loops traced using 3-min slow waves
The plasma-$β$ is an important fundamental physical quantity in solar plasma physics, which determines the dominating process in the solar atmosphere, i.e., magnetic or thermodynamic processes. Here, for the first time, we provide variations of magnetic field and plasma-$β$ along magnetically structured loops from the photosphere to the corona. We have selected several fan loops rooted in sunspot umbra observed simultaneously by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph and Solar Dynamics Obs…

Temporal Broadening of Attosecond Pulse Trains Induced by Multi-Band inference in Solid-State High-Order Harmonic Generation
The mechanism underlying high harmonic generation (HHG) in gases has been well clarified, characterizing attosecond pulse trains (APT) in the time domain, significantly advances the synthesis of isolated attosecond pulse (IAP). However, the complexity of HHG in solid obstacles IAP separation. Here, we use time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to investigate the multiband mechanism of APT in solid state with bulk silicon as prototype. Our research unveils that: 1. The temporal charact…

Model-robust standardization in stepped wedge designs
Stepped-wedge cluster-randomized trials (SW-CRTs) are widely used in healthcare and implementation science, providing an ethical advantage by ensuring all clusters eventually receive the intervention. The staggered rollout of treatment introduces complexities in defining and estimating treatment effect estimands, particularly under informative sizes. Traditional model-based methods, including generalized estimating equations (GEE) and linear mixed models (LMM), produce estimates that depend on …

Enhanced Velocity-Adaptive Scheme: Joint Fair Access and Age of Information Optimization in Vehicular Networks
In this paper, we consider the fair access problem and the Age of Information (AoI) under 5G New Radio (NR) Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) Mode 2 in vehicular networks. Specifically, vehicles follow Mode 2 to communicate with Roadside Units (RSUs) to obtain accurate data for driving assistance.Nevertheless, vehicles often have different velocity when they are moving in adjacent lanes, leading to difference in RSU dwelltime and communication duration. This results in unfair access to network re…

K-rings of smooth toric varieties via piecewise-exponential functions
We describe an explicit presentation of the ring of integral piecewise-exponential functions on a unimodular fan as a quotient of the Stanley-Reisner ring of the fan. This gives rise to a presentation of K-rings of smooth toric varieties that is parallel to the well-known presentation of integral Chow rings as quotients of Stanley-Reisner rings.

User Invariant Preference Learning for Multi-Behavior Recommendation
In multi-behavior recommendation scenarios, analyzing users' diverse behaviors, such as click, purchase, and rating, enables a more comprehensive understanding of their interests, facilitating personalized and accurate recommendations. A fundamental assumption of multi-behavior recommendation methods is the existence of shared user preferences across behaviors, representing users' intrinsic interests. Based on this assumption, existing approaches aim to integrate information from various behavi…

Galois equiangular tight frames from Galois self-dual codes
Greaves et al. (2022) extended frames over real or complex numbers to frames over finite fields. In this paper, we study the theory of frames over finite fields by incorporating the Galois inner products introduced by Fan and Zhang (2017), which generalize the Euclidean and Hermitian inner products. We define a class of frames, called Galois frames over finite fields, along with related notions such as Galois Gram matrices, Galois frame operators, and Galois equiangular tight frames (Galois ETF…

MapIQ: Benchmarking Multimodal Large Language Models for Map Question Answering
Recent advancements in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have driven researchers to explore how well these models read data visualizations, e.g., bar charts, scatter plots. More recently, attention has shifted to visual question answering with maps (Map-VQA). However, Map-VQA research has primarily focused on choropleth maps, which cover only a limited range of thematic categories and visual analytical tasks. To address these gaps, we introduce MapIQ, a benchmark dataset comprising 14,70…

Adaptive Multi-task Learning for Multi-sector Portfolio Optimization
Accurate transfer of information across multiple sectors to enhance model estimation is both significant and challenging in multi-sector portfolio optimization involving a large number of assets in different classes. Within the framework of factor modeling, we propose a novel data-adaptive multi-task learning methodology that quantifies and learns the relatedness among the principal temporal subspaces (spanned by factors) across multiple sectors under study. This approach not only improves the …

Personalized 3D Myocardial Infarct Geometry Reconstruction from Cine MRI with Explicit Cardiac Motion Modeling
Accurate representation of myocardial infarct geometry is crucial for patient-specific cardiac modeling in MI patients. While Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) MRI is the clinical gold standard for infarct detection, it requires contrast agents, introducing side effects and patient discomfort. Moreover, infarct reconstruction from LGE often relies on sparsely sampled 2D slices, limiting spatial resolution and accuracy. In this work, we propose a novel framework for automatically reconstructing …
