Benchmarking GPT-5 in Radiation Oncology: Measurable Gains, but Persistent Need for Expert Oversight
Introduction: Large language models (LLM) have shown great potential in clinical decision support. GPT-5 is a novel LLM system that has been specifically marketed towards oncology use. Methods: Performance was assessed using two complementary benchmarks: (i) the ACR Radiation Oncology In-Training Examination (TXIT, 2021), comprising 300 multiple-choice items, and (ii) a curated set of 60 authentic radiation oncologic vignettes representing diverse disease sites and treatment indications. For …

All-sky search for individual Primordial Black Hole bursts with LHAASO
Primordial Black Holes~(PBHs) are hypothetical black holes with a wide range of masses that formed in the early universe. As a result, they may play an important cosmological role and provide a unique probe of the early universe. A PBH with an initial mass of approximately $10^{15}$~g is expected to explode today in a final burst of Hawking radiation. In this work, we conduct an all-sky search for individual PBH burst events using the data collected from March 2021 to July 2024 by the Water Che…

Proof of the linkage conjecture for highly connected tournaments
A digraph $D$ is $k$-linked if for every $2k$ distinct vertices $ x_1,\ldots , x_k, y_1, \ldots , y_k$ in $D$, there exist $k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint paths $P_1,\ldots, P_k$ such that $P_i$ starts at $x_i$ and ends at $y_i$ for each $i\in [k]$. In 2021, Girão, Popielarz, and Snyder [Combinatorica 41 (2021) 815--837] conjectured that there exists a constant $C >0$ such that every $(2k+1)$-connected tournament with minimum out-degree at least $Ck$ is $k$-linked. In this paper, we disprove this…

Predicting Parkinson's Disease Progression Using Statistical and Neural Mixed Effects Models: A Comparative Study on Longitudinal Biomarkers
Predicting Parkinson's Disease (PD) progression is crucial, and voice biomarkers offer a non-invasive method for tracking symptom severity (UPDRS scores) through telemonitoring. Analyzing this longitudinal data is challenging due to within-subject correlations and complex, nonlinear patient-specific progression patterns. This study benchmarks LMMs against two advanced hybrid approaches: the Generalized Neural Network Mixed Model (GNMM) (Mandel 2021), which embeds a neural network within a GLMM …

Stoquasticity is not enough: towards a sharper diagnostic for Quantum Monte Carlo simulability
Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods are powerful tools for simulating quantum many-body systems, yet their applicability is limited by the infamous sign problem. We approach this challenge through the lens of Vanishing Geometric Phases (VGP) \cite{Hen_2021}, introducing it as a `geometric' criterion for diagnosing QMC simulability. We characterize the class of VGP Hamiltonians, and analyze the complexity of recognizing this class, identifying both hard and efficiently identifiable cases. We furth…

Observations of Successive CMEs and their Successive Type II Solar Radio Bursts in the Corona
This paper reports the observations of two coronal shocks from two Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) for the Successive type II Solar radio bursts observed on 02 May 2021 in the frequency range of 80 - 1 MHz with the time interval of ~ 20 minutes between them. Both the bursts show clear band splitting features in the harmonic band. The estimated heights for the source of the first type II burst lies in the range of 2.06 - 2.93 R0 with the average speeds of 601 + or - 76, 700 + or - 91 a…

Measurement of the branching fraction of $\psip \to ωηη$
Using a sample of (2.712 $\pm$ 0.014)$\times 10^{9}$ $\psip$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider in 2009, 2012, and 2021, the decay $\psip \to ωηη$ is observed for the first time. The branching fraction of the $ψ(3686)\toωηη$ decay is measured to be (1.65 $\pm$ 0.02 $\pm$ 0.21)$\times 10^{-5}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. Clear structures associated with the well-established $ω(1420)$ and $f_{0}(1710)$ resonances are…

Quantum-Safe Identity Verification using Relativistic Zero-Knowledge Proof Systems
Identity verification is the process of confirming an individual's claimed identity, which is essential in sectors like finance, healthcare, and online services to ensure security and prevent fraud. However, current password/PIN-based identity solutions are susceptible to phishing or skimming attacks, where malicious intermediaries attempt to steal credentials using fake identification portals. Alikhani et al. [Nature, 2021] began exploring identity verification through graph coloring-based rel…

Quasi-periodic oscillations and reflection feature evolution in 4U 1630-47 observed with Insight-HXMT
The Galactic black hole (BH) X-ray binary 4U 1630-47 went into a new outburst in 2021 after $\sim$ 600 days from its 2020 outburst. We perform a detailed analysis of quasi-periodic oscillations and spectral evolutions during its 2021 outburst based on \textit{Insight}-HXMT observations. The main science aims to study the reflection features evolution of this accreting black hole using the observations of detecting quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) and quasi-regular modulations (QRMs). The QPOs…

Rota-Baxter operators on compact simple Lie groups and algebras

Rota-Baxter operators on compact simple Lie groups and algebras
A Rota-Baxter operator on a Lie group $ G $ is a smooth map $ B : G \to G $ such that $ B(g)B(h) = B(gB(g)hB(g)^{-1}) $ for all $ g, h \in G $. This concept was introduced in 2021 by Guo, Lang and Sheng as a Lie group analogue of Rota-Baxter operators of weight 1 on Lie algebras. We show that the only Rota-Baxter operators on compact simple Lie groups are the trivial map and the inverse map. A similar description for Rota-Baxter operators of weight 1 on compact simple Lie algebras is provided.

Robustness of Floquet topological phase at room temperature: a first-principles dynamics study
Nonadiabatic Thouless pumping of electrons is studied within the framework of topological Floquet engineering, particularly focused on how atomic lattice dynamics affect the emergent Floquet topological phase in trans-polyacetylene under the driving electric field. As similarly done in the earlier work [Zhou and Kanai, J. Phys. Chem. Lett., 12, 4496 (2021)], the real-time time-dependent density functional theory and Ehrenfest dynamics simulations were used to investigate the extent to which the…

Enjoying Non-linearity in Multinomial Logistic Bandits
We consider the multinomial logistic bandit problem, a variant of generalized linear bandits where a learner interacts with an environment by selecting actions to maximize expected rewards based on probabilistic feedback from multiple possible outcomes. In the binary setting, recent work has focused on understanding the impact of the non-linearity of the logistic model (Faury et al., 2020; Abeille et al., 2021). They introduced a problem-dependent constant $κ_*$, that may be exponentially larg…

A multi-frequency global view of Callisto's thermal properties from ALMA
We present thermal observations of Callisto's leading and trailing hemispheres obtained using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) at 0.87 mm (343 GHz), 1.3 mm (233 GHz), and 3 mm (97 GHz). The angular resolution achieved for these observations ranged from 0.09-0.24 arcseconds, corresponding to ~420-1100 km at Callisto. Global surface properties were derived from the observations using a thermophysical model (de Kleer et al. 2021) constrained by spacecraft data. We find that …

Ammonia, Methane, Hydrogen and Methanol Produced in Remote Renewable Energy Hubs: a Comparative Quantitative Analysis
Remote renewable energy hubs (RREHs) for synthetic fuel production are engineering systems harvesting renewable energy where it is particularly abundant. They produce transportable synthetic fuels for export to distant load centers.

To do so, we extend the study of Berger et al., (2021) which focuses on methane (CH4) as ene…
