Show Me Your Best Side: Characteristics of User-Preferred Perspectives for 3D Graph Drawings
The visual analysis of graphs in 3D has become increasingly popular, accelerated by the rise of immersive technology, such as augmented and virtual reality. Unlike 2D drawings, 3D graph layouts are highly viewpoint-dependent, making perspective selection critical for revealing structural and relational patterns. Despite its importance, there is limited empirical evidence guiding what constitutes an effective or preferred viewpoint from the user's perspective. In this paper, we present a systema…

Differential rotation of solar α-sunspots and implications for stellar light curves
Differential rotation is a key driver of magnetic activity and dynamo processes in the Sun and other stars, especially as the rate differs across the solar layers, but also in active regions. We aim to accurately quantify the velocity at which round α-spots traverse the solar disk as a function of their latitude, and compare these rates to those of the quiet-Sun and other sunspot types. We then extend this work to other stars and investigate how differential rotation affects the modulation of …

Detecting Sterile Neutrino Dark Matter at MeV Gamma-Ray Observatories
We explore the indirect detection of sterile neutrino dark matter within the gauged $U(1)_{B-L}$ extension of the Standard Model, in which three right-handed neutrinos account for neutrino masses, the baryon asymmetry, and dark matter. Focusing on the MeV mass range, we investigate two decay channels: the radiative decay $N \to νγ$, which produces a monochromatic photon, and the three-body decay $N \to e^- e^+ ν$, which leads to a 511 keV photon signal from positronium decay. Taking the upco…

Sound Interval-Based Synthesis for Probabilistic Programs
Probabilistic programming has become a standard practice to model stochastic events and learn about the behavior of nature in different scientific contexts, ranging from Genetics and Ecology to Linguistics and Psychology. However, domain practitioners (such as biologists) also need to be experts in statistics in order to select which probabilistic model is suitable for a given particular problem, relying then on probabilistic inference engines such as Stan, Pyro or Edward to fine-tune the param…

There and Back Again: Revisiting the Failure of Concatenation in Mittag-Leffler Functions
The function $t \mapsto E_α(λt^α)$ is widely regarded as the fractional analogue of the exponential function, yet its algebraic properties remain poorly understood. In particular, standard references lack a rigorous proof of the failure of the semigroup property. In this work, we fill this gap by providing an analytical proof that the semigroup property holds if and only if either $α= 1$ or $λ= 0$. Our result establishes a precise criterion for when Mittag-Leffler dynamics are compatible w…

We investigate in this paper the Cauchy problem of the one-dimensional wave equation with space-dependent damping of the form $μ_0(1+x^2)^{-1/2}$, where $μ_0>0$, and time derivative nonlinearity. We establish global existence of mild solutions for small data compactly supported by employing energy estimates within suitable Sobolev spaces of the associated homogeneous problem. Furthermore, we derive a blow-up result under some positive initial data by employing the test function method. …
