A high stellar multiplicity rate amongst TESS planet candidates in the Neptunian desert using Gaia DR3 astrometry
We aim to discover whether the stellar multiplicity rate may provide information on the origin of recently discovered planets in the Neptunian Desert. Using Gaia DR3 astrometry, we search for common proper motion companions to 1779 known exoplanet hosts and 2927 exoplanet candidate hosts from the TESS mission, both within 650 pc. We find overall stellar multiplicity rates of $16.6\pm0.9\%$ and $19.8\pm0.6\%$ for confirmed and candidate exoplanets, respectively. We find stellar multiplicity rate…

No sector has seen greater change than automotive. Packed with intelligent sensors, AI, GPS, cameras and in-car software, today’s vehicles generate and transmit vast volumes of data.
While this helps with seamless connectivity and smarter driving, it also creates serious security, privacy, and compliance risks automotive firms and tech providers can’t afford to ignore.

BrisT1D Dataset: Young Adults with Type 1 Diabetes in the UK using Smartwatches
Background: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) has seen a rapid evolution in management technology and forms a useful case study for the future management of other chronic conditions. Further development of this management technology requires an exploration of its real-world use and the potential of additional data streams. To facilitate this, we contribute the BrisT1D Dataset to the growing number of public T1D management datasets. The dataset was developed from a longitudinal study of 24 young adults in t…

Designing Rules to Pick a Rule: Aggregation by Consistency
Given a set of items and a set of evaluators who all individually rank them, how do we aggregate these evaluations into a single societal ranking? Work in social choice and statistics has produced many aggregation methods for this problem, each with its desirable properties, but also with its limitations. Further, existing impossibility results rule out designing a single method that achieves every property of interest. Faced with this trade-off between incompatible desiderata, how do we decide…

Response and Prompt Evaluation to Prevent Parasocial Relationships with Chatbots
The development of parasocial relationships with AI agents has severe, and in some cases, tragic effects for human well-being. Yet preventing such dynamics is challenging: parasocial cues often emerge gradually in private conversations, and not all forms of emotional engagement are inherently harmful. We address this challenge by introducing a simple response evaluation framework, created by repurposing a state-of-the-art language model, that evaluates ongoing conversations for parasocial cues …

Flow-dependent tagging of $^{214}$Pb decays in the LZ dark matter detector
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is searching for dark matter interactions in a liquid xenon time projection chamber (LXe-TPC). This article demonstrates how control of the flow state in the LXe-TPC enables the identification of pairs of sequential alpha-decays, which are used to map fluid flow and ion drift in the liquid target. The resulting transport model is used to tag $^{214}$Pb beta-decays, a leading background to dark matter signals in LZ. Temporally evolving volume selections, at a cost …

Direct Inference of Nuclear Equation-of-State Parameters from Gravitational-Wave Observations
The observation of neutron star mergers with gravitational waves (GWs) has provided a new method to constrain the dense-matter equation of state (EOS) and to better understand its nuclear physics. However, inferring nuclear microphysics from GW observations necessitates the sampling of EOS model parameters that serve as input for each EOS used during the GW data analysis. The sampling of the EOS parameters requires solving the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equations a large number of times -…

FINCH EYE: The Optical and Optomechanical Design of a GRISM-based SWIR Hyperspectral Imaging Payload for a 3U CubeSat
Crop residue is an important metric used for agricultural land-use monitoring and climate science research. Estimating crop residue coverage is essential to sustainable agricultural practices. The University of Toronto Aerospace Team is developing FINCH EYE, the optical payload for the upcoming FINCH 3U CubeSat, to measure crop residue cover. We conceived of a novel ultra-compact push-broom architecture with a volume phase-holographic grism dispersive element to keep the design compact and simp…

In this work, we study the effect of various deposition methods for phosphonic acid interface modifiers commonly pursued as self-assembled monolayers in high-performance metal halide perovskite photovoltaics and light-emitting diodes. We compare the deposition of (2-(3,6-diiodo-9H-carbazol-9-yl)ethyl)phosphonic acid onto indium tin oxide (ITO) bottom contacts by varying three parameters: the method of deposition, specifically spin coating or prolonged dip coating, ITO surface treatment via HCl/…

When Benny Goodman and Louis Armstrong tried to iron out how their 1953 joint tour would play out, egos clashed and Goodman dropped out. Goodman's decision proved to be a stroke of luck for trumpeter Al Stewart. As the Goodman band without Goodman fell under the direction of a more laid back Gene Krupa, Al Stewart found himself developing a bond with Armstrong, a relationship that taught him about music, entertainment and life.

High-throughput viscometry via machine-learning from videos of inverted vials
Although the inverted vial test has been widely used as a qualitative method for estimating fluid viscosity, quantitative rheological characterization has remained limited due to its complex, uncontrolled flow - driven by gravity, surface tension, inertia, and initial conditions. Here, we present a computer vision (CV) viscometer that automates the inverted vial test and enables quantitative viscosity inference across nearly five orders of magnitude (0.01-1000 Pas), without requiring direct vel…

Pseudo-grand canonical molecular dynamics via volumetrically controlled osmotic pressure
Molecular dynamics simulations are typically constrained to have a fixed number of particles, which limits our capability to simulate chemical and physical processes where the composition of the system changes during the simulation time. Typical examples are the calculation of nucleation and crystal growth rates in heterogeneous solutions where the driving force depends on the composition of the fluid. Constant chemical potential molecular dynamics simulations would instead be required to compu…
