Current-Enhanced Excited States in Lattice QCD Three-Point Functions
Excited-state contamination remains one of the leading sources of systematic uncertainty in the precise determination of hadron structure observables from lattice QCD. In this letter, we present a general argument, inspired by current-meson dominance and implemented through the variational method, to identify which excited states are enhanced by the choice of the inserted current and kinematics. The argument is supported by numerical evidence across multiple hadronic channels and provides both …

PAL: Designing Conversational Agents as Scalable, Cooperative Patient Simulators for Palliative-Care Training
Effective communication in serious illness and palliative care is essential but often under-taught due to limited access to training resources like standardized patients. We present PAL (Palliative Assisted Learning-bot), a conversational system that simulates emotionally nuanced patient interactions and delivers structured feedback grounded in an existing empathy-based framework. PAL supports text and voice modalities and is designed to scaffold clinical skill-building through repeated, low-co…

Uncertainty Quantification of Drag Reduction over Superhydrophobic Surfaces by Unified Parameterizing Structure Spacing
Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHS) have demonstrated significant potential in reducing turbulent drag by introducing slip conditions through micro-structured geometries. While previous studies have examined individual SHS configurations such as post-type, ridge-type, and transverse ridge-type surfaces, a unified analysis that connects these patterns through geometric parameterization remains limited. In this study, we propose a systematic framework to explore the drag reduction characteristics by …

When Is Causal Inference Possible? A Statistical Test for Unmeasured Confounding
This paper clarifies a fundamental difference between causal inference and traditional statistical inference by formalizing a mathematical distinction between their respective parameters. We connect two major approaches to causal inference, the potential outcomes framework and causal structure graphs, which are typically studied separately. While the unconfoundedness assumption in the potential outcomes framework cannot be assessed from an observational dataset alone, causal structure graphs he…

Supporting Socially Constrained Private Communications with SecureWhispers
Rapidly changing social norms and national, legal, and political conditions socially constrain people from discussing sensitive topics such as sexuality or religion. Such constrained, vulnerable minorities are often worried about inadvertent information disclosure and may be unsure about the extent to which their communications are being monitored in public or semi-public spaces like workplaces or cafes. Personal devices extend trust to the digital domain, making it desirable to have strictly p…

AI That Helps Us Help Each Other: A Proactive System for Scaffolding Mentor-Novice Collaboration in Entrepreneurship Coaching

AI That Helps Us Help Each Other: A Proactive System for Scaffolding Mentor-Novice Collaboration in Entrepreneurship Coaching
Entrepreneurship requires navigating open-ended, ill-defined problems: identifying risks, challenging assumptions, and making strategic decisions under deep uncertainty. Novice founders often struggle with these metacognitive demands, while mentors face limited time and visibility to provide tailored support. We present a human-AI coaching system that combines a domain-specific cognitive model of entrepreneurial risk with a large language model (LLM) to proactively scaffold both novice and ment…

Palestine Action / UK censorship
Good article from @….
"While the groups actions may constitute criminal damage, their actions do not represent an attempt to induce fear in the population by creating an imminent threat to life. ...
"Proscribing Palestine Action as terrorists is not about public safety – it is about suppressing protest that we may disagree or agree with, but that stands well short of being an attempt to strike fear into the British public through the use of indiscriminate violence against people. In equating support of damage to military property with support of terrorism, it endangers legitimate debate about the UK-Israel arms trade. ...
"As there is no public evidence of any link to terrorism or support of terrorist groups from Palestine Action, Open Rights Group supports their decision to appeal proscription. While we may have differing opinions on their tactics, we stand against this attack on their right to exist and speak out."
