PENGUIN: Enhancing Transformer with Periodic-Nested Group Attention for Long-term Time Series Forecasting
Long-term time series forecasting (LTSF) is a fundamental task with wide-ranging applications. Although Transformer-based models have made significant breakthroughs in forecasting, their effectiveness for time series forecasting remains debatable. In this paper, we revisit the significance of self-attention and propose a simple yet effective mechanism, Periodic-Nested Group Attention, namely PENGUIN. Our approach highlights the importance of explicitly modeling periodic patterns and incorporati…

4H-SiC PIN detector for alpha particles from room temperature to 90 °C
In the field of high-energy particle detection, detectors operating in high-radiation environments primarily face high costs associated with power consumption and cooling systems. Therefore, the development of particle detectors capable of stable operation at room temperature or even elevated temperatures is of great significance. Silicon carbide (SiC) exhibits significant potential for particle detector applications due to its exceptional carrier mobility, radiation hardness, and thermal stabi…

Extracting Interpretable Higher-Order Topological Features across Multiple Scales for Alzheimer's Disease Classification
Brain network topology, derived from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), holds promise for improving Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis. Current methods primarily focus on lower-order topological features, often overlooking the significance of higher-order features such as connected components, cycles, and cavities. These higher-order features are critical for understanding normal brain function and have been increasingly linked to the pathological mechanisms of AD. However, their qua…

2/2 Reflection on #citizenship:
I do not treat the concept of “#democracy" lightly. I was born into the aftermath of centuries of totalitarian oppression that ended suddenly, leaving the nascent Ukrainian state of the late 90s and early 2000s floundering in the turbulent whirlpool of hopes and fears felt by millions of people who were finally allowed to ponder: how to build a free democratic state in the place of Soviet and imperial ruins?
I was taught the words "democracy", "citizen", "freedom", "voting", “liberty" (and more) by people who, less than two decades prior, weren't allowed to leave the borders of their country. I was told about self-determination by people whose political choices were ridiculed, punished, and eviscerated form most of their lives. The duty of governing ourselves felt to us ephemeral - a nice fantasy, akin to a fairytale or a utopia from fictional works.
And then I saw those same people fight with their bodies and souls once the previously unfathomable democracy was threatened. Protests in 2004, then again in 2014, then the unthinkable war against foreign invasion in 2022. Democracy no longer felt abstract or silly. It became as tangible as saying "I love you".
I write of Ukraine as I reflect on becoming a citizen of another country because the history and values of my adopted United States feel as real as the skin on my legs, the significance of its legacy lays as heavy as the weight of my waist-long hair, and the desire to uphold the freedoms of its Constitution burns my throat as harshly as dehydration after a long day in the sun.
People have asked me why I even want to join this country, when the present moment is shrouded in impenetrable darkness. And I answer: because I've felt the warmth of a newly lit fire of freedom breaking through shadows that for centuries looked like solid walls. I have seen kindness, and solidarity heal the fear and hate of oppression. I've seen liberty emerge from nothing but the human soul.
I am not a religious person, but I have faith. Faith in the ideals at the foundation of the American project. Faint but powerful recognition that "we the people" now includes me.
I love #America. And I hope to keep loving my home for the rest of my life.

The Stochastic Dissipation Model for the Steady State Neutrino and Multi-Wavelength Emission of TXS 0506+056
The blazar TXS 0506+056 has been suggested to be a potential high-energy neutrino source thanks to the observations of IceCube, which found outburst-like neutrino emissions during 2014-2015 and 2017 in the transient emission search, and a $3.5σ$ local significance in a 10-year time-integrated search. The conventional one-zone jet model cannot explain the observed neutrino flux during outbursts due to the constraint from the X-ray flux, leading to proposals of multi-zone models (e.g. two-zone m…

In the sixteenth century, lunacy was a constant theme that was never questioned. It was still frequent in the seventeenth century, but started to disappear, and by 1707, the year in which Le François asked the question ‘Estne aliquod lunae in corpora humana imperium?’ (Does the moon have any influence over the human body?), after lengthy discussions, the university decided that their reply was in the negative. In the course of the eighteenth century the moon was rarely cited among the causes of madness, even as a possible factor or an aggravation. But right at the end of the century the idea reappears, perhaps under the influence of English medicine, which had never entirely forgotten the moon, and Daquin, followed by Leuret and Guislain, all admitted the influence of the moon on the phases of maniacal excitement, or at the least on the agitation of their patients. But what is important here is not so much the return of the theme as the possibility and conditions necessary for its reappearance. It reappears entirely transformed, filled with a new significance that it did not formerly possess. In its traditional form, it designated an immediate influence, a direct coincidence in time and intersection in space, whose mode of action was entirely situated in the power of the stars. But in Daquin by contrast, the influence of the moon acts through a whole series of mediations, in a kind of hierarchy, surrounding man. The moon acts on the atmosphere with such intensity that it can set in motion a mass as heavy as the ocean. The nervous system, of all the parts that make up the human organism, is the part most sensitive to atmospheric variations, as the slightest variation in temperature, humidity or dryness can have serious effects upon it. The moon therefore, given the important power that its trajectory exerts on the atmosphere, is likely to act most on people whose nervous fibres are particularly delicate:
“Madness is an exclusively nervous condition, and the brain of a madman must therefore be infinitely more susceptible to the influence of the atmosphere, which itself undergoes considerable changes of intensity as a result of the different positions of the moon relative to the earth.” [Daquin, Philosophie de la folie, Paris, 1792]

On the role of cosmological constant in modeling hadrons
Einsteins gravity with a cosmological constant $Λ$ in four dimensions can be reformulated as a $λϕ^4$ theory characterized solely by the dimensionless coupling $λ\propto G_N Λ$ ($G_N$ being Newton's constant). The quantum triviality of this theory drives $λ\to 0$, and a deviation from this behavior could be generated by matter couplings. Here, we study the significance of this conformal symmetry and its breaking in modeling non-perturbative QCD. The hadron spectra and correlation function…

Bayesian Model Comparison and Significance: Widespread Errors and how to Correct Them
Bayes factors have become a popular tool in exoplanet spectroscopy for testing atmosphere models against one another. We show that the commonly used method for converting these values into significance "sigmas" is invalid. The formula is neither justified nor recommended by its original paper, and overestimates the confidence of results. We use simple examples to demonstrate the invalidity and prior sensitivity of this approach. We review the standard Bayesian interpretation of the Bayes factor…

Comment on "Physical significance of artificial numerical noise in direct numerical simulation of turbulence"
Recently, Liao and Qin [J. Fluid Mech. 1008, R2 (2025)] claimed that numerical noise in direct numerical simulation of turbulence using the deterministic Navier-Stokes equations is "approximately equivalent" to the physical noise arising from random molecular motion (thermal fluctuations). We show here that it this claim not supported by their results and that it contradicts other results in the literature. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the numerical implementation of thermal fluctuations in…

Consistency assessment and regional sample size calculation for MRCTs under random effects model
Multi-regional clinical trials (MRCTs) have become common practice for drug development and global registration. Once overall significance is established, demonstrating regional consistency is critical for local health authorities. Methods for evaluating such consistency and calculating regional sample sizes have been proposed based on the fixed effects model using various criteria. To better account for the heterogeneity of treatment effects across regions, the random effects model naturally a…

Dual Pruning and Sorting-Free Overestimation for Average-Utility Sequential Pattern Mining
In a quantitative sequential database, numerous efficient algorithms have been developed for high-utility sequential pattern mining (HUSPM). HUSPM establishes a relationship between frequency and significance in the real world and reflects more crucial information than frequent pattern mining. However, high average-utility sequential pattern mining (HAUSPM) is deemed fairer and more valuable than HUSPM. It provides a reasonable measure for longer patterns by considering their length. In contras…

The p-value from a fuzzy point of view
The purpose of the paper is to provide a new way of seeing the p-value in terms of a fuzzy membership function. According to the ASAs statement, we aim at removing the arbitrary choice of the significance level and at demonstrating that the p-value can be profitably interpreted from a fuzzy point of view. In particular, we propose a new class of membership functions by viewing the p-value as a function of the null hypothesis and we apply our approach to compare two independent binomial proporti…

Observation of Metal-Insulator and Spectral Phase Transitions in Aubry-André-Harper Models
Non-Hermitian extensions of the Aubry-André-Harper (AAH) model reveal a rich variety of phase transitions arising from the interplay of quasiperiodicity and non-Hermiticity. Despite their theoretical significance, experimental explorations remain challenging due to complexities in realizing controlled non-Hermiticity. Here, we present the first experimental realization of the unitary almost-Mathieu operator (UAMO) which simulates the AAH model by employing single-photon quantum walks. Through …

Membership Inference Attacks with False Discovery Rate Control
Recent studies have shown that deep learning models are vulnerable to membership inference attacks (MIAs), which aim to infer whether a data record was used to train a target model or not. To analyze and study these vulnerabilities, various MIA methods have been proposed. Despite the significance and popularity of MIAs, existing works on MIAs are limited in providing guarantees on the false discovery rate (FDR), which refers to the expected proportion of false discoveries among the identified p…

Generation of Grothendieck topologies, provability and operations on subtoposes
After reviewing the multiple roles of toposes - as generalized topological spaces, as universal invariants, as categorical analogues of the set-theoretic universe, and as semantic environments for first-order theories - we recall the notion of subtopos and its dual expression: both in terms of Grothendieck topologies and in terms of first-order logic. We emphasize the significance of this duality, which enables the translation of provability problems in first-order logic into problems concernin…

X-ray Polarimetry of Accreting White Dwarfs: A Case Study of EX Hydrae
We present the first first X-ray polarization measurements of a white dwarf, the intermediate polar EX Hya. We measured significant polarization only in the 2 -- 3 keV energy band with a polarization degree of 8 percent at a $3σ$ significance. No significant polarization was detected above 3 keV, which we attribute to the higher energy bands having lower signal-to-noise. We found that the scattering surface detected by the IXPE is nearly perpendicular to the optical scattering plane, showing t…

Continuum Landau surface states in a non-Hermitian Weyl semimetal
The surface states of topological phases, which owe their existence to bulk topological band invariants, possess many features of deep physical significance. In some instances, they can be linked to a quantum anomaly: the violation of a classical symmetry by a field theory through the emergence of a non-conserved current. This phenomenon was recently generalized to the non-Hermitian (NH) regime, in the form of an NH chiral anomaly occurring in the surfaces states of an NH Weyl phase. Here, we s…

Counterrotating stellar disks (CRDs), i.e. co-spatial stellar disks rotating with opposite angular momentum, have been proposed as signatures of past accretion events. Therefore, they constitute potentially valuable tracers of galactic assembly. We aim to investigate the properties, formation, and significance of CRDs in a sample of Milky Way mass galaxies using the IllustrisTNG cosmologic…

Unveiling horizons in quantum critical collapse
Critical gravitational collapse offers a unique window into regimes of arbitrarily high curvature, culminating in a naked singularity arising from smooth initial data -- thus providing a dynamical counterexample to weak cosmic censorship.

Despite its fundamental significance, a self-consistent treatment has so far remained elusive. In this work, we…
