Near-Wall Scaling and Separation Prediction of a Rotation-Based Subgrid-Scale Stress Model
This paper presents an in-depth analysis of a novel subgrid-scale stress model proposed in 2022, which utilizes the rotational part of the velocity gradient as the velocity scale for computing eddy viscosity. This study investigates the near-wall asymptotic behavior and separation prediction capability of this model for the first time. Two canonical flows--fully-developed turbulent channel flow and periodic hill flow--are selected for analysis. The eddy viscosity predicted by this model correla…

Good Morning #Canada
On June 30th, 1987, a Canadian one-dollar coin was introduced, produced by the Royal Canadian Mint at its facility in Winnipeg. The beloved #Loonie was born. But did you know the iconic Loon image wasn't meant to be the coin in production and only came to be because the original master dies were lost by a courier. We came close to embedding "Voyageurs" at centre ice during the Olympics.

In this paper, we present the main actions of the Women in Physics Group of the Spanish Royal Physics Society over the period of 2022 to 2023, in which we celebrated the 20th anniversary of the group. We also outline relevant equality initiatives implemented during this period by the Spanish Government as well as analyse their impact on the status of women in Physics in our country. In 2023, our scientific society approved the Gender Equality Plan, thus becoming a pioneer scientific society in …

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…

Dust production rates in Jupiter-family comets II: Trends and population insights from ATLAS photometry of 116 JFCs
Jupiter-family comets (JFCs) have orbital periods of less than 20 years and therefore undergo more frequent sublimation compared to other comet populations. The JFCs therefore represent the ideal dynamical population for investigating the dust production rates at high-cadence. We analyzed observations by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) of 74 JFCs that reached perihelion in 2022 and 2023. The work contained in this study builds upon our previous work (Gillan et al. 2024…

Optimizing Sparse SYK
Finding the ground state of strongly-interacting fermionic systems is often the prerequisite for fully understanding both quantum chemistry and condensed matter systems. The Sachdev--Ye--Kitaev (SYK) model is a representative example of such a system; it is particularly interesting not only due to the existence of efficient quantum algorithms preparing approximations to the ground state such as Hastings--O'Donnell (STOC 2022), but also known no-go results for many classical ansatzes in preparin…

A new Lagrange multiplier approach for constructing structure preserving schemes, III. Bound preserving and energy dissipating
In the third part of this series, we continue to explore the idea of the Lagrange multiplier introduced in the first part [2020, Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engr., 391, 114585] and refined in the second part [2022, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 60, 970-998] to further develop efficient and accurate numerical schemes that preserve the maximum bound principle (MBP) and energy dissipation for solving gradient flows. The proposed framework allows us to begin with any conventional scheme as a predictor step…

DBLPLink 2.0 -- An Entity Linker for the DBLP Scholarly Knowledge Graph
In this work we present an entity linker for DBLP's 2025 version of RDF-based Knowledge Graph. Compared to the 2022 version, DBLP now considers publication venues as a new entity type called dblp:Stream. In the earlier version of DBLPLink, we trained KG-embeddings and re-rankers on a dataset to produce entity linkings. In contrast, in this work, we develop a zero-shot entity linker using LLMs using a novel method, where we re-rank candidate entities based on the log-probabilities of the "yes" t…

From Revolution to Ruin: An Empirical Analysis Yemen's State Collapse
We assess the broad repercussions of Yemen's 2011 revolution and subsequent civil war on its macroeconomic trajectories, human development, and quality of governance by constructing counterfactual benchmarks using a balanced panel of 37 developing countries over 1990-2022. Drawing on matrix-completion estimators with alternative shrinkage regimes and a LASSO-augmented synthetic-control method, we generate Yemen's hypothetical no-conflict paths for key macroeconomic aggregates, demographic and h…

Basierend auf den neuesten Lohndaten aus dem Jahr 2022 konnten wir zeigen, dass der Mindestlohn zu einer drastischen Abnahme von Tiefstlöhnen bei Frauen geführt hat. Vor dessen Einführung arbeitete mehr als jede zehnte Frau für weniger als 4000 Franken Monatslohn für eine Vollzeitstelle. Zwei Jahre später waren es nur noch 3,3 Prozent.
