PROFUSEme: PROstate Cancer Biochemical Recurrence Prediction via FUSEd Multi-modal Embeddings
Almost 30% of prostate cancer (PCa) patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) experience biochemical recurrence (BCR), characterized by increased prostate specific antigen (PSA) and associated with increased mortality. Accurate early prediction of BCR, at the time of RP, would contribute to prompt adaptive clinical decision-making and improved patient outcomes. In this work, we propose prostate cancer BCR prediction via fused multi-modal embeddings (PROFUSEme), which learns cross-modal int…

The "audio jack" on headphones etc. is called a "phone connector" (it was first used for phone switchboards all the way back in the 1800s).

The "audio connector" on analog audio and video cables is called a "RCA plug".

Neural Networks for 3D Characterization of AGATA Crystals
Precise localization of gamma-ray interactions is crucial for the performance of AGATA. The Pulse Shape Analysis (PSA) method used for the position estimation relies on simulated signals database. The Pulse Shape Comparison Scanning (PSCS) method was used to scan AGATA crystals in order to produce an experimental database. This paper presents a novel approach using LSTM neural networks to determine the 3D interaction position of gamma rays within AGATA crystals, trained on data from the Strasbo…

On the $\ell^2$-Betti numbers and algebraic fibring of the (outer) automorphism group of a right-angled Artin group
We compute the first $\ell^2$-Betti number of the automorphism and outer automorphism groups of arbitrary right-angled Artin groups (RAAGs), providing a complete characterization of when it is non-zero. In addition, we determine all $\ell^2$-Betti numbers of the outer automorphism group in the case where the defining graph is disconnected and the associated RAAG is not isomorphic to a free group. We also analyse the algebraic fibring of the pure symmetric automorphism groups $\mathrm{PSA}(A_Γ)…

Tree-frog-inspired osmocapillary adhesive bonding to diverse substrates
The performance of conventional pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA) critically relies on the wetting of the adhesive over the substrate. When the wetting is hindered by low surface-energy substrates or the presence of interfacial liquids, the adhesion is greatly compromised. Here, inspired by tree frogs that secrete mucus with surfactants to achieve good wetting over diverse dry and wet substrates, we explore a novel mechanism, osmocapillary adhesion, to use interfacial liquid modified by surfac…

PSA: 🥵 Idk who needs to hear this, but in a heatwave for the love of science use air conditioning. If you don’t have air conditioning, get a portable unit as soon as possible.
The climate is going to get hotter and heat can very easily kill you or a loved one or a pet; or cause permanent disability.
Heat is a lot more dangerous than cold temperatures; even if you’re “young and healthy”.
The climate is already fucked and has long reached a tipping point as far as humans go—our only bet is large-scale CO2 extraction.
Sacrificing your health “to save energy*” for an imaginary fight that we have already lost is stupid. It’s also one of those “individual responsibility” mindfucks—the culprits for pollution are industry maximizing profits and governments that are not acting.
Anyway, stay cool.
*note that AC uses overall a lot less energy than heating does

Iterative Partition Search Variational Quantum Algorithm for Solving Shortest Vector Problem
The Partition Search Algorithm (PSA) and the Iterative Quantum Optimization with an Adaptive Problem (IQOAP) framework are two existing Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) for solving the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP), but both suffer from certain limitations. In this work, we proposed the Iterative Partition Search Algorithm (IPSA), which is a targeted synthesis and refinement of these preceding methods. Our algorithm inherits the core idea of ``partitioning to circumvent the zero vector" fr…

Text-to-image diffusion models have achieved remarkable image quality, but they still struggle with complex, multiele ment prompts, and limited stylistic diversity. To address these limitations, we propose a Multi-Expert Planning and Gen eration Framework (MEPG) that synergistically integrates position- and style-aware large language models (LLMs) with spatial-semantic expert modules. The framework comprises two core components: (1) a Position-Style-Aware (PSA) module that utilizes a supervised…
