Reasonable Space for the $λ$-Calculus, Logarithmically
Can the $λ$-calculus be considered a reasonable computational model? Can we use it for measuring the time $\textit{and}$ space consumption of algorithms? While the literature contains positive answers about time, much less is known about space. This paper presents a new reasonable space cost model for the $λ$-calculus, based on a variant over the Krivine abstract machine. For the first time, this cost model is able to accommodate logarithmic space. Moreover, we study the time behavior of our …

MedM2G: Unifying Medical Multi-Modal Generation via Cross-Guided Diffusion with Visual Invariant
Medical generative models, acknowledged for their high-quality sample generation ability, have accelerated the fast growth of medical applications. However, recent works concentrate on separate medical generation models for distinct medical tasks and are restricted to inadequate medical multi-modal knowledge, constraining medical comprehensive diagnosis. In this paper, we propose MedM2G, a Medical Multi-Modal Generative framework, with the key innovation to align, extract, and generate medical …

Grey-box Recursive Parameter Identification of a Nonlinear Dynamic Model for Mineral Flotation
This study presents a grey-box recursive identification technique to estimate key parameters in a mineral flotation process across two scenarios. The method is applied to a nonlinear physics-based dynamic model validated at a laboratory scale, allowing real-time updates of two model parameters, n and C, in response to changing conditions. The proposed approach effectively adapts to process variability and allows for continuous adjustments based on operational fluctuations, resulting in a signif…

Limiting distributions of the Spherical model and Spin $O(N)$ model: Appearance of GFF
We revisit the relation between the spherical model of Berlin-Kac and the spin $O(N)$ model in the limit $N \to \infty$ and explain how they are related via the discrete Gaussian free field (GFF). More precisely, using probabilistic limit theorems and concentration of measure we first prove that the infinite volume limit of the spherical model on a $d$-dimensional torus is a massive GFF in the high-temperature regime, a standard GFF at the critical temperature, and a standard GFF plus a Radem…

Incorporating changeable attitudes toward vaccination into an SIR infectious disease model
We develop a mechanistic model that classifies individuals both in terms of epidemiological status (SIR) and vaccination attitude (willing or unwilling), with the goal of discovering how disease spread is influenced by changing opinions about vaccination. Analysis of the model identifies existence and stability criteria for both disease-free and endemic disease equilibria. The analytical results, supported by numerical simulations, show that attitude changes induced by disease prevalence can de…

Meta's 'consent or pay' data grab in EU faces fresh charges of privacy coercion | TechCrunch
A controversial move by Meta last year, when it switched to charging users in the Europe Union for an ad-free subscription for access Facebook and/or Meta is facing a fresh set of complaints from consumer protection authorities in the EU over a controversial switch to charging users for an ad-free subscription unless they agree to being tracked and profiled for ad targeting.

Using liquid metal to develop energy storage systems with 100 times better heat transfer
The industrial production of steel, concrete, or glass requires more than 20% of Germany's total energy consumption. Up to now, 90% of the fuels used for these processes have been of fossil nature.
