CADD: Context aware disease deviations via restoration of brain images using normative conditional diffusion models
Applying machine learning to real-world medical data, e.g. from hospital archives, has the potential to revolutionize disease detection in brain images. However, detecting pathology in such heterogeneous cohorts is a difficult challenge. Normative modeling, a form of unsupervised anomaly detection, offers a promising approach to studying such cohorts where the ``normal'' behavior is modeled and can be used at subject level to detect deviations relating to disease pathology. Diffusion models hav…

Inverse magnetic catalysis in the linear sigma model: a beyond mean field approach
We explore the restoration of chiral symmetry in the linear sigma model coupled to quarks under the influence of strong magnetic fields and finite temperature, incorporating screening effects through ring diagrams. While previous studies using tree-level thermal masses lead to magnetic catalysis across all temperature ranges, in tension with lattice QCD results, we go beyond this limitation by computing the bosonic masses self-consistently within the lowest Landau level (LLL) approximation. The…

A large thermal energy reservoir in the nascent intracluster medium at a redshift of 4.3
Most baryons in present-day galaxy clusters exist as hot gas ($\boldsymbol{\gtrsim10^7\,\rm}\mathrm{K}$), forming the intracluster medium (ICM). Cosmological simulations predict that the mass and temperature of the ICM rapidly decrease with increasing cosmological redshift, as intracluster gas in younger clusters is still accumulating and being heated. The thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect arises when cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons are scattered to higher energies through intera…

Nanometer-precision tracking of adipocyte dynamics via single lipid droplet whispering-gallery optical resonances
Biophotonics-and more recently, biointegrated photonics-offer transformative tools for probing cellular processes with unprecedented precision. Among these, whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonators-optical microcavities formed in spherical structures-have emerged as powerful biosensors and intracellular barcodes. Lipid droplets (LDs), with their high refractive index and intrinsic spherical geometry, are ideal candidates for supporting intracellular lasing. Although lasing in LDs has been previ…

Taking a SEAT: Predicting Value Interpretations from Sentiment, Emotion, Argument, and Topic Annotations
Our interpretation of value concepts is shaped by our sociocultural background and lived experiences, and is thus subjective. Recognizing individual value interpretations is important for developing AI systems that can align with diverse human perspectives and avoid bias toward majority viewpoints. To this end, we investigate whether a language model can predict individual value interpretations by leveraging multi-dimensional subjective annotations as a proxy for their interpretive lens.

Compressed verification for post-quantum signatures with long-term public keys
Many signature applications-such as root certificates, secure software updates, and authentication protocols-involve long-lived public keys that are transferred or installed once and then used for many verifications. This key longevity makes post-quantum signature schemes with conservative assumptions (e.g., structure-free lattices) attractive for long-term security. But many such schemes, especially those with short signatures, suffer from extremely large public keys. Even in scenarios where b…

Entropy-Guided Loop: Achieving Reasoning through Uncertainty-Aware Generation
Reasoning models often outperform smaller models but at 3--5$\times$ higher cost and added latency. We present entropy-guided refinement: a lightweight, test-time loop that uses token-level uncertainty to trigger a single, targeted refinement pass. We extract logprobs, compute Shannon entropy on top-$k$ alternatives, and apply a simple OR-logic trigger over perplexity, maximum token entropy, and low-confidence-token count. Unlike approaches that use entropy only for measurement or decoding, we …

A Copula-Based Variational Autoencoder for Uncertainty Quantification in Inverse Problems: Application to Damage Identification in an Offshore Wind Turbine
Structural Health Monitoring of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) is critical for ensuring operational safety and efficiency. However, identifying damage in components like mooring systems from limited sensor data poses a challenging inverse problem, often characterized by multimodal solutions where various damage states could explain the observed response. To overcome it, we propose a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) architecture, where the encoder approximates the inverse operator, while t…

Organ dose optimization for a point-of-care forearm X-ray photon-counting CT
Background: Spectral shaping is a computed tomography (CT) dose optimization technique that adjusts source voltage and filtration to reduce patient radiation exposure without compromising image quality. Traditionally, radiation dose has been assessed using the computed tomography dose index (CTDI). However, emerging dosimetric approaches aim to enable patient-specific evaluations by estimating organ absorbed doses, providing a more accurate representation of the biological impact. This study in…

Flavors of Quantifiers in Hyperlogics
Hypertrace logic is a sorted first-order logic with separate sorts for time and execution traces. Its formulas specify hyperproperties, which are properties relating multiple traces. In this work, we extend hypertrace logic by introducing trace quantifiers that range over the set of all possible traces. In this extended logic, formulas can quantify over two kinds of trace variables: constrained trace variables, which range over a fixed set of traces defined by the model, and unconstrained trace…

Longitudinal and Multimodal Recording System to Capture Real-World Patient-Clinician Conversations for AI and Encounter Research: Protocol
The promise of AI in medicine depends on learning from data that reflect what matters to patients and clinicians. Most existing models are trained on electronic health records (EHRs), which capture biological measures but rarely patient-clinician interactions. These relationships, central to care, unfold across voice, text, and video, yet remain absent from datasets. As a result, AI systems trained solely on EHRs risk perpetuating a narrow biomedical view of medicine and overlooking the lived e…

Polarization-dependent chiral transport and chiral solitons in spin Kitaev models
Recent advances in synthetic quantum matter allow researchers to design quantum models inaccessible in traditional materials. Here, we propose protocols to engineer a new class of quantum spin models, which we call spin Kitaev models. The building blocks are basic spin-exchange interactions combined with locally selective Floquet pulses, a capability recently demonstrated in a range of experimental platforms. The resulting flip-flip and flop-flop terms lead to intriguing quantum transport dynam…

The Chapman-Enskog approximation for a relativistic charged gas in the trace-fixed particle frame
In this article we provide a thorough discussion of the first-order Chapman-Enskog approximation for a relativistic simple charged gas propagating in an arbitrary fixed background spacetime and electromagnetic field. Motivated by a rigorous study of the linearized collision operator, we argue that the most natural thermodynamic frame to describe dissipative relativistic fluids is the trace-fixed particle frame. This frame determines the state variables by requiring compatibility of the first fe…

Moment Constrained Optimal Transport for Thermostatically Controlled Loads
Controlling large populations of thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs), such as water heaters, poses significant challenges due to the need to balance global constraints (e.g., grid stability) with individual requirements (e.g., physical limits and quality of service). In this work, we introduce a novel framework based on Moment Constrained Optimal Transport (MCOT) for distributed control of TCLs. By formulating the control problem as an optimal transport problem with moment constraints, our…

Non-local mass superpositions and optical clock interferometry in atomic ensemble quantum networks
Quantum networks are emerging as powerful platforms for sensing, communication, and fundamental tests of physics. We propose a programmable quantum sensing network based on entangled atomic ensembles, where optical clock qubits emulate mass superpositions in atom and atom-clock interferometry. Our approach uniquely combines scalability to large atom numbers with minimal control requirements, relying only on collective addressing of internal atomic states. This enables the creation of both non-l…

Directional strong coupling at the nanoscale between hyperbolic polaritons and organic molecules
Strong coupling (SC) is a fundamental concept in physics that describes extreme interactions between light and matter. Recent experiments have demonstrated SC at the nanometer scale, where strongly confined polaritons, rather than photons, couple to quantum emitters or molecular vibrations. Coupling with the latter is generally referred to as vibrational SC (VSC) and is of significant fundamental and technological interest, as it can be an effective tool for modifying molecular properties.

Measurement of Dark Matter Substructure from the Kinematics of the GD-1 Stellar Stream
Stellar streams are sensitive tracers of low-mass dark matter subhalos and provide a means to test the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm on small scales. In this work, we connect the intrinsic velocity dispersion of the GD-1 stream to the number density and internal structure of dark matter subhalos in the mass range $10^5$-$10^9\ M_\odot$. We measure the radial velocity dispersion of GD-1 based on 160 identified member stars across four different spectroscopic catalogs. We use repeat observation…

Semi-Supervised 3D Medical Segmentation from 2D Natural Images Pretrained Model
This paper explores the transfer of knowledge from general vision models pretrained on 2D natural images to improve 3D medical image segmentation. We focus on the semi-supervised setting, where only a few labeled 3D medical images are available, along with a large set of unlabeled images. To tackle this, we propose a model-agnostic framework that progressively distills knowledge from a 2D pretrained model to a 3D segmentation model trained from scratch. Our approach, M&N, involves iterative co-…

Bicentric configurations of pentagonal linkages
Let $P$ be a planar $n$-gon with the sidelengths $a_1, \ldots, a_n$ and let us denote by $L=L(P)$ the corresponding planar polygonal linkage. We are concerned with the problem of finding conditions on the sidelengths $a_i$ which guarantee the existence of a bicentric configuration of $L$. Specifically, we present some related results on tangential and chordal polygons and characterize pentagonal linkages having bicentric configurations.

To this end, we introduce RoMedQA, the first Romanian QA benchmark for the medical domain, alongside a comprehensive evaluation of state-of-th…

Are Virtual DES Images a Valid Alternative to the Real Ones?
Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) is an imaging modality that provides two types of images, commonly known as low-energy (LE) and dual-energy subtracted (DES) images. In many domains, particularly in medicine, the emergence of image-to-image translation techniques has enabled the artificial generation of images using other images as input. Within CESM, applying such techniques to generate DES images from LE images could be highly beneficial, potentially reducing patient exposure to …

Integrated Telecom Wavelength Heralded Single-Photon Source based on GHz gated detectors
We introduce a simple and flexible concept for a heralded -- spectrally pure -- single photon source. The scheme uses a probabilistic photon pair source pumped with a CW laser, whereby a rapid gating InGaAs/InP single photon avalanche diode provides a synchronous clock and temporally resolves, and hence spectrally filters, the heralded photons. We demonstrate the concept by combining this with a narrow-band integrated silicon nitride photon-pair source. This simple architecture is capable of he…

The life and times of dark matter haloes: what will I be when I grow up?
Are the most massive objects in the Universe today the direct descendants of the most massive objects at higher redshift? We address this question by tracing the evolutionary histories of haloes in the MultiDark Planck2 simulation. By following the 100 most massive halos at $z = 0$ across cosmic time, we find that only 40\% of them were among the largest 100 halos at $z = 1$. This suggests that many of today's most massive clusters were not the most dominant structures at earlier times, while s…
