Towards enhanced mixing of a high viscous miscible blob in porous media
In this study, we investigate the rectilinear displacement and deformation of a highly viscous, miscible circular blob influenced by a less viscous fluid within a homogeneous porous medium featuring physically realistic no-flux boundaries. We utilize a fourth-order accurate compact finite difference scheme for the spatial discretization of the nonlinear partial differential equations that govern this phenomenon. The resulting semi-discrete equations are then integrated using the second-order Cr…

I'm trying to write a general purpose Inspector UI object for #Clojure

which, when evaluated, throws up a window showing in a sensible form the value of `o`.
Obviously, though, if `o` is lazy, you don't want the inspector to explore it all.

Blob Detection for Photonic Metasurface Designing: Angular and Spectral Control of Scattered Light
Metasurfaces with precise spectral and angular control of light scattering are of growing interest for photonic applications requiring advanced photon management. Correlated disorder emerged as a promising route for angular control of light scattering, but most design approaches are computationally expensive or do not allow spectral tunability. Here, we introduce a reverse-engineering design approach for correlated-disordered metasurfaces based on tailoring the Fourier space and blob detection …

AI Blob! LLM-Driven Recontextualization of Italian Television Archives
This paper introduces AI Blob!, an experimental system designed to explore the potential of semantic cataloging and Large Language Models (LLMs) for the retrieval and recontextualization of archival television footage. Drawing methodological inspiration from Italian television programs such as Blob (RAI Tre, 1989-), AI Blob! integrates automatic speech recognition (ASR), semantic embeddings, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to organize and reinterpret archival content.

On Weary Drivers, Records of Trees, and Parking Functions
This work builds on a decomposition of a Cayley tree using the notion of a record, a concept closely related to the blob encoding of a tree introduced by Kreweras and Moszkowski, and Picciotto, that we explore and extend. We provide an alternative definition of parking functions and derive from it a record-preserving bijection between Cayley trees and parking functions. Finally, we use this bijection to establish an equidistribution between a sextuple of statistics on Cayley trees and a corresp…

Chemical abundances of seven stars in the GD-1 stream
We present the first detailed chemical abundances for seven GD-1 stream stars from Subaru/HDS spectroscopy. Atmospheric parameters were derived via color calibrations ($T\rm_{eff}$) and iterative spectroscopic analysis. LTE abundances for 14 elements ($α$, odd-Z, iron-peak, n-capture) were measured. Six stars trace the main orbit, one resides in a `blob'. All exhibit tightly clustered metallicities ([Fe/H] = -2.38, {\bf intrinsic dispersion smaller than 0.05 dex, average uncertainty is about 0…

Structures and properties of fan-shaped jets: H$α$ dark blobs and transparent regions
We investigated three fan-shaped jets observed above sunspot light bridges or nearby sunspot regions. The study aimed to explore the dynamics and physical properties of jets' features that appear as blob-like structures at the tips of the jets, which we call `dark blobs'. A transparent region is observed beneath the dark blobs, creating a visible gap between the dark blobs and the trailing body of the jets. These phenomena were studied in chromospheric and transition region imaging and spectral…
