Understanding the Challenges and Promises of Developing Generative AI Apps: An Empirical Study
The release of ChatGPT in 2022 triggered a rapid surge in generative artificial intelligence mobile apps (i.e., Gen-AI apps). Despite widespread adoption, little is known about how end users perceive and evaluate these Gen-AI functionalities in practice. In this work, we conduct a user-centered analysis of 676,066 reviews from 173 Gen-AI apps on the Google Play Store. We introduce a four-phase methodology, SARA (Selection, Acquisition, Refinement, and Analysis), that enables the systematic extr…

A deep X-ray/UV look into the reflaring stage of the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658
We present a detailed X-ray/UV high-time resolution monitoring of the final reflaring phase of the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX~J1808.4$-$3658. During its 2022 outburst, we obtained simultaneous XMM-Newton and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations. We detected coherent X-ray pulsations down to a 0.5-10~keV luminosity of $L_{X(low)\,0.5-10} \simeq 6.21^{+0.20}_{-0.15} \times 10^{34} \, d^2_{3.5}\,\mathrm{erg \, s^{-1}}$, among the lowest ever observed in this source.

Mining Voter Behaviour and Confidence: A Rule-Based Analysis of the 2022 U.S. Elections
This study explores the relationship between voter trust and their experiences during elections by applying a rule-based data mining technique to the 2022 Survey of the Performance of American Elections (SPAE). Using the Apriori algorithm and setting parameters to capture meaningful associations (support >= 3%, confidence >= 60%, and lift > 1.5), the analysis revealed a strong connection between demographic attributes and voting-related challenges, such as registration hurdles, accessibility is…

Local feature filtering for scalable and well-conditioned Random Feature Methods
In recent years, machine learning has emerged as a powerful tool for solving partial differential equations (PDEs), with randomized neural networks showing remarkable potential. These networks, typically shallow, differ from conventional approaches by randomizing all parameters except those in the final layer. Notably, by integrating techniques inspired by domain decomposition, they achieve improved local accuracy and computational efficiency. Following \cite{chen:2022:BTM}, we refer to these a…

Learning from ASTRI-Horn: products and applications of Variance data
In the context of the ASTRI MiniArray project (9 dual-mirror air Cherenkov telescopes being installed at the Observatorio del Teide in the Canary Islands), the ASTRI- Horn prototype was previously implemented in Italy (Sicily). It was a crucial test bench for establishing observation strategies, hardware upgrades, and software solutions. Specifically, during the winter 2022/2023 observing campaign, we implemented significant enhancements in using the so-called Variance mode, an auxiliary output…

How orthogonality influences geometric constants?
In this paper, based on isosceles orthogonality, we have found equivalent definitions for three constants: A2(X) proposed by Baronti in 2000 [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 252(2000), 124- 146], CNJ(X) introduced by Alonso et al. in 2008 [Stud. Math. 188(2008), 135-150], and LYJ(X) put forward by Liu et al. in 2022 [Bull. Malays. Math. Sci. Soc., 45(2022), 307-321]. A core commonality among these three constants is that they are all restricted to the unit sphere. This finding provides us with an insight:…

An Empirical Comparison of Weak-IV-Robust Procedures in Just-Identified Models
Instrumental variable (IV) regression is recognized as one of the five core methods for causal inference, as identified by Angrist and Pischke (2008). This paper compares two leading approaches to inference under weak identification for just-identified IV models: the classical Anderson-Rubin (AR) procedure and the recently popular tF method proposed by Lee et al. (2022). Using replication data from the American Economic Review (AER) and Monte Carlo simulation experiments, we evaluate the two pr…

On 26 September 2022 the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft collided with Dimorphos, the moon of the near-Earth asteroid 65803 Didymos, in a full-scale demonstration of a kinetic impactor concept. The companion LICIACube spacecraft documented the aftermath, capturing images of the expansion and evolution of the ejecta from 29 to 243 s after the impact. We present results from our analyses of these observations, including an improved reduction of the data and new absolute calibra…

Microwave Imaging Spectroscopy Diagnosis of the Slow-rise Precursor of a Major Solar Eruption
In this Letter, taking advantage of microwave data from the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array and extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) data from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly, we present the first microwave imaging spectroscopy diagnosis for the slow-rise precursor of a major coronal mass ejection (CME) on 2022 March 30. The EUV images reveal that the CME progenitor, appearing as a hot channel above the polarity inversion line, experiences a slow rise and heating before the eruption. The microwave emis…

The role of large language models in UI/UX design: A systematic literature review
This systematic literature review examines the role of large language models (LLMs) in UI/UX design, synthesizing findings from 38 peer-reviewed studies published between 2022 and 2025. We identify key LLMs in use, including GPT-4, Gemini, and PaLM, and map their integration across the design lifecycle, from ideation to evaluation. Common practices include prompt engineering, human-in-the-loop workflows, and multimodal input. While LLMs are reshaping design processes, challenges such as halluci…

Refugees' path to legal stability is long and systematically unequal
Legal systems shape not only the recognition of migrants and refugees but also the pace and stability of their integration. Refugees often shift between multiple legal classifications, a process we refer to as the "legal journey". This journey is frequently prolonged and uncertain. Using a network-based approach, we analyze legal transitions for over 350,000 migrants in Austria (2022 to 2024). Refugees face highly unequal pathways to stability, ranging from two months for Ukrainians to nine mon…

Consumer Law for AI Agents
Since the public release of ChatGPT in November 2022, the AI landscape is undergoing a rapid transformation. Currently, the use of AI chatbots by consumers has largely been limited to image generation or question-answering language models. The next generation of AI systems, AI agents that can plan and execute complex tasks with only limited human involvement, will be capable of a much broader range of actions. In particular, consumers could soon be able to delegate purchasing decisions to AI ag…

Critical points of random polynomials and finite free cumulants
A result of Hoskins and Steinerberger [Int. Math. Res. Not., (13):9784-9809, 2022] states that repeatedly differentiating a random polynomials with independent and identically distributed mean zero and variance one roots will result, after an appropriate rescaling, in a Hermite polynomial. We use the theory of finite free probability to extend this result in two natural directions: (1) We prove central limit theorems for the fluctuations around these deterministic limits for the polynomials and…

Emergent supercounterfluid and quantum phase diagram of two-component interacting bosons in one-dimensional optical lattice
Motivated by a recent experiment that realizes nearest-neighbor dipolar couplings in an optical lattice [C. Lagoin, $\textit{et al.}$, Nature $\textbf{609}$, 485 (2022)], we study a one-dimensional version of the two-component extended Bose-Hubbard model via the density-matrix renormalization group method. By using the nearest-neighbor and on-site interaction parameters from the experiment, we start by mapping the quantum phase diagram in the hopping parameters $t_{A}\mbox{-}t_{B}$ plane with b…
