Wind Farm Dynamics over a Diurnal Cycle: Analysis of a Comprehensive Large Eddy Simulation, Web-Services Accessible Dataset
The atmospheric boundary layer undergoes significant changes throughout a diurnal cycle, affecting wind turbine performance and wakes in wind farms. Wind farm Large Eddy Simulations (LES) under such conditions provide rich datasets to study the underlying dynamics and identify important trends. Here, we describe a comprehensive open dataset generated using LES of an 8-turbine wind farm consisting of four rows of two turbines. To avoid specifying either prescribed surface temperature or heat flu…

Assessment Twins: A Protocol for AI-Vulnerable Summative Assessment
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping higher education and raising pressing concerns about the integrity and validity of higher education assessment. While assessment redesign is increasingly seen as a necessity, there is a relative lack of literature detailing what such redesign may entail. In this paper, we introduce assessment twins as an accessible approach for redesigning assessment tasks to enhance validity. We use Messick's unified validity framework to systematically m…

Two Proofs of the Hamiltonian Cycle Identity
The Hamiltonian cycle polynomial can be evaluated to count the number of Hamiltonian cycles in a graph. It can also be viewed as a list of all spanning cycles of length $n$. We adopt the latter perspective and present a pair of original proofs for the Hamiltonian cycle identity which relates the Hamiltonian cycle polynomial to the important determinant and permanent polynomials. The first proof is a more accessible combinatorial argument. The second proof relies on viewing polynomials as both l…

In dimensions below the critical dimension, the latter phases are unstable and ar…

Through confinement, QCD transmutes fermionic matter into scalars, revealing a nontrivial flow between extremal correlators. We reconstruct this flow using perturbative QCD and chiral perturbation theory. The observable is accessible with currently availab…

In quantum field theory, photon pairs can be excited out of the vacuum under the influence of dynamical gravitational fields. If the classical electromagnetic duality symmetry held at the quantum level, equal numbers of right- vs left-handed modes would be excited.

RealMat: Realistic Materials with Diffusion and Reinforcement Learning
Generative models for high-quality materials are particularly desirable to make 3D content authoring more accessible. However, the majority of material generation methods are trained on synthetic data. Synthetic data provides precise supervision for material maps, which is convenient but also tends to create a significant visual gap with real-world materials. Alternatively, recent work used a small dataset of real flash photographs to guarantee realism, however such data is limited in scale and…

Assessing prompting frameworks for enhancing literature reviews among university students using ChatGPT
Writing literature reviews is a common component of university curricula, yet it often poses challenges for students. Since generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools have been made publicly accessible, students have been employing them for their academic writing tasks. However, there is limited evidence of structured training on how to effectively use these GenAI tools to support students in writing literature reviews. In this study, we explore how university students use one of the most…

Bryne: sustainable prototyping of finite element models
Open-source simulation frameworks are evolving rapidly to provide accessible tools for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. Modern finite element (FEM) software such as FEniCS, Firedrake, or dune-fem alleviates the need for modelers to recode the discretization and linear solver backend for each application and enables rapid prototyping of solvers. However, while it has become easier to build prototype FEM models, creating a solver reusable beyond its specific initial simul…

The Grammar of FAIR: A Granular Architecture of Semantic Units for FAIR Semantics, Inspired by Biology and Linguistics
The FAIR Principles aim to make data and knowledge Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable, yet current digital infrastructures often lack a unifying semantic framework that bridges human cognition and machine-actionability. In this paper, we introduce the Grammar of FAIR: a granular and modular architecture for FAIR semantics built on the concept of semantic units. Semantic units, comprising atomic statement units and composite compound units, implement the principle of semantic modu…

Towards Imperceptible Adversarial Defense: A Gradient-Driven Shield against Facial Manipulations
With the flourishing prosperity of generative models, manipulated facial images have become increasingly accessible, raising concerns regarding privacy infringement and societal trust. In response, proactive defense strategies embed adversarial perturbations into facial images to counter deepfake manipulation. However, existing methods often face a tradeoff between imperceptibility and defense effectiveness-strong perturbations may disrupt forgeries but degrade visual fidelity. Recent studies h…

Maximum heralding probabilities of non-classical state generation from two-mode Gaussian state via photon counting measurements
Highly non-classical states of light - such as the approximate Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill states or cat-like states - can be generated from experimentally accessible Gaussian states via photon counting measurements on selected modes, conditioned on specific outcomes of these heralding events. A simplest yet important example of this approach involves performing photon number measurements on one mode of a two-mode entangled Gaussian state. The heralding probability of this scheme is a key figure …

Combined Exoplanet Mass and Atmospheric Characterization for Accelerated Exoplanetology
Today's most detailed characterization of exoplanet atmospheres is accessible via transit spectroscopy (TS). Detecting transiting exoplanets only yields their size, and it is thus standard to measure a planet's mass before moving towards their atmospheric characterization, or even the publication of their discovery. This framework, however, can act as a bottleneck for high-throughput exoplanetology. Here, we review existing applications of an alternative approach deriving exoplanet masses in sm…

Towards Reliable Benchmarking: A Contamination Free, Controllable Evaluation Framework for Multi-step LLM Function Calling
As language models gain access to external tools via structured function calls, they become increasingly more capable of solving complex, multi-step tasks. However, existing benchmarks for tool-augmented language models (TaLMs) provide insufficient control over factors such as the number of functions accessible, task complexity, and input size, and remain vulnerable to data contamination. We present FuncBenchGen, a unified, contamination-free framework that evaluates TaLMs by generating synthet…

Quantum speed limit as a sensitive probe of Planck-scale effects
Many quantum-gravity scenarios predict a minute modification of the canonical commutator, known as the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP), whose low-energy signatures are, in principle, accessible to state-of-the-art laboratory tests. We compute first-order minimal-length corrections to the quantum speed limit (QSL) for three cases: uniform superpositions in an infinite square well, coherent harmonic-oscillator states, and squeezed-oscillator states. We identify a universal amplification l…

A Recall-First CNN for Sleep Apnea Screening from Snoring Audio
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep-related breathing disorder that is common and can impact health if left untreated. Currently the traditional method for screening and diagnosis is overnight polysomnography. Polysomnography is expensive and takes a lot of time, and is not practical for screening large groups of people. In this paper, we explored a more accessible option, using respiratory audio recordings to spot signs of apnea.We utilized 18 audio files.The approach involved converting breathing …

Generalized Correctness Models: Learning Calibrated and Model-Agnostic Correctness Predictors from Historical Patterns
Generating accurate and calibrated confidence estimates is critical for deploying LLMs in high-stakes or user-facing applications, and remains an open challenge. Prior research has often framed confidence as a problem of eliciting a model's "self-knowledge", i.e., the ability of an LLM to judge whether its own answers are correct; this approach implicitly assumes that there is some privileged information about the answer's correctness that is accessible to the model itself. However, our experim…
