Immersive Technologies and Elderly Users: Current use, Limitations and Future Perspectives
The increase of the percentage of elderly population in modern societies dictates the use of emerging technologies as a means of supporting elder members of the society. Within this scope, Extended Reality (XR) technologies pose as a promising technology for improving the daily lives of the elderly population. This paper presents a literature review that describes the most common characteristics of the physical and mental state of the elderly, allowing readers, and specifically XR developers, t…

Cool Gas in the Circumgalactic Medium of Massive Post Starburst Galaxies
Observing the interplay between galaxies and their gaseous surroundings is crucial for understanding how galaxies form and evolve, including the roles of long-lived cool gas reservoirs, starburst and AGN driven outflows. We use stacked Mg II absorption lines in the spectra of background quasars to study the cool gas out to 9Mpc from massive quiescent, star-forming and post-starburst galaxies with stellar masses $\log_{10}(M_{\mathrm{gal}}/M_\odot) \gtrsim 11.4$ and $0.4 \lesssim z \lesssim 0.8$…

Discovery of Volatile Gas in the Giant Impact Disk around the 150-Myr old HD 23514
We report the discovery of CO$_2$ gas emission around HD 23514, an F5V star in the $\sim$150 Myr-old Pleiades cluster, hosting one of the rare giant-impact disks with unique mineralogy dominated by silica dust. We show that the dust feature remains stable over several decades, and that the sub-$μ$m grains, which give rise to the $\sim$9 $μ$m feature, are co-spatial with the hot CO$_2$ molecules within the sub-au vicinity of the star. Examining the Spitzer spectrum taken 15 years earlier, we s…

All-Pairs Shortest Paths with Few Weights per Node
We study the central All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) problem under the restriction that there are at most $d$ distinct weights on the outgoing edges from every node. For $d=n$ this is the classical (unrestricted) APSP problem that is hypothesized to require cubic time $n^{3-o(1)}$, and at the other extreme, for $d=1$, it is equivalent to the Node-Weighted APSP problem. We present new algorithms that achieve the following results: 1. Node-Weighted APSP can be solved in time $\tilde{O}(n^{(3+ω…

Fanfiction in the Age of AI: Community Perspectives on Creativity, Authenticity and Adoption
The integration of Generative AI (GenAI) into creative communities, like fanfiction, is reshaping how stories are created, shared, and valued. This study investigates the perceptions of 157 active fanfiction members, both readers and writers, regarding AI-generated content in fanfiction. Our research explores the impact of GenAI on community dynamics, examining how AI affects the participatory and collaborative nature of these spaces. The findings reveal responses ranging from cautious acceptan…

Correcting impedance measurements for background parasitics to characterize circuit components in cryogenic environments
Predictable circuit response is a critical prerequisite for accurate electronic measurements. We describe a powerful, yet straightforward, experimental method and analysis model that utilizes an affordable LCR meter in conjunction with an in situ parasitic impedance background correction procedure to measure the temperature-dependent impedance (magnitude and phase) of individual passive circuit elements mounted in a cryostat. We show how the model unambiguously identified a 20x drop in capacita…

Cyclic loading of a heterogeneous non-linear poroelastic material
Cyclic loading is a common feature in poroelastic systems, the material response depending non-trivially on the exact form of boundary conditions, pore structure, and mechanical properties. The situation becomes more complex when heterogeneity is introduced in the properties of the poroelastic material, yet heterogeneity too is common in physical poroelastic structures. In this paper, we analyse the behaviour of a soft porous material in response to a uniaxial cyclic stress or displacement, wit…

Seamless Dysfluent Speech Text Alignment for Disordered Speech Analysis
Accurate alignment of dysfluent speech with intended text is crucial for automating the diagnosis of neurodegenerative speech disorders. Traditional methods often fail to model phoneme similarities effectively, limiting their performance. In this work, we propose Neural LCS, a novel approach for dysfluent text-text and speech-text alignment. Neural LCS addresses key challenges, including partial alignment and context-aware similarity mapping, by leveraging robust phoneme-level modeling. We eval…
