Zero-Shot Reasoning: Personalized Content Generation Without the Cold Start Problem
Procedural content generation uses algorithmic techniques to create large amounts of new content for games at much lower production costs. In newer approaches, procedural content generation utilizes machine learning. However, these methods usually require expensive collection of large amounts of data, as well as the development and training of fairly complex learning models, which can be both extremely time-consuming and expensive. The core of our research is to explore whether we can lower the…

Cold sintering may rescue plastic, ceramics, battery components from landfills
Recycling does not necessarily prevent an item from eventually ending up in a landfill, according to Enrique Gomez, interim associate dean for equity and inclusion and professor of chemical engineering in the Penn State College of Engineering. Instead, recycling simply delays its end of life. Plastic bottles that are recycled and then turned into carpet, for example, eventually end up in the landfill when the carpet gets worn out and is thrown away.

Typically, two storages are combined, one for heat and one for cold, to support heating and cooling of buildings. This way, the use of classical fossil fuel-based heating, ventilation, and air conditioning can be significantly reduced.

Freezing delay of a drop impacting on a monolayer of cold grains
We investigate a subfreezing droplet impact scenario in a low-humidity environment, where the target is a cold granular monolayer. When the undercooling degree of targets passes a threshold, such a granular layer effectively postpones the bulk freezing time of the droplet in comparison with the impact on the bare substrate underneath. In this case, the retraction of the droplet after impact reduces the contact area with the cold substrate, even though both the grains and the substrate are wetta…

Israel won the public vote in the UK. That's the telephone vote, where ordinary members of the public choose who they want to win. And it cost each & every person cold, hard cash to cast a vote.
So unless you're going to go all "ThE jEWs thEy aRe RiCh & coNTRoL thE MEdiA" on me (and if you are, FOAD please), the only possible conclusion is that there is a hell of a lot more sympathy and support for Israel among the UK public at large than you'd know from reading Mastodon posts.

We investigate how they affect the matter power spectrum, the cosmic microwave background anisotropies and its lensing potential. Th…

Generic autonomous system approach to interacting dark energy models
We explore an autonomous system analysis of dark energy models with interactions between dark energy and cold dark matter in a general systematic approach to cosmological fluids. We investigate two types of models such as local and non-local ones. In particular, a local form of interaction is directly proportional to only the energy density, while a non-local interaction is directly proportional to the energy density as well as the Hubble parameter. As a consequence, it is explicitly demonstrat…

Milky Way-est: Cosmological Zoom-in Simulations with Large Magellanic Cloud and Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus Analogs
We present Milky Way-est, a suite of 20 cosmological cold-dark-matter-only zoom-in simulations of Milky Way (MW)-like host halos. Milky Way-est hosts are selected such that they: ($i$) are consistent with the MW's measured halo mass and concentration, ($ii$) accrete a Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC)-like ($\approx 10^{11}~M_{\odot}$) subhalo within the last $1.3~\mathrm{Gyr}$ on a realistic orbit, placing them near $50~\mathrm{kpc}$ from the host center at $z\approx 0$, and ($iii$) undergo a $>$1:…

Daniel Swain on Xitter:
Impressive late-season low pressure system will bring short, sharp hit of cold rain (and mountain snow above ~4k ft) this wknd. Nearly everywhere in NorCal should see good soaking, w/lighter showers into SoCal. This will be quite a cold system by May standards... #CAwx

Convergence Tests of Self-Interacting Dark Matter Simulations
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) theory predicts that dark matter halos experience core-collapse, a process where the halo's inner region rapidly increases in density and decreases in size. The N-body simulations used to study this process can suffer from numerical errors when simulation parameters are selected incorrectly. Optimal choices for simulation parameters are well studied for cold dark matter (CDM), but are not deeply understood when self-interactions are included. In order to perf…

Cold Filaments Formed in Hot Wake Flows Uplifted by AGN Bubbles in Galaxy Clusters

Abstract: Multi-wavelength observations indicate that the intracluster medium in some galaxy clusters contains cold filaments, while their formation mechanism remains debated. Using hydrodynamic simulations, we show that cold filaments could naturally condense out of hot gaseous wake flows uplifted by the jet-inflated active galactic nucleus (AGN) bubbles. Consistent with observations, the simulated filaments extend to tens of kpc from the cluster center, with a representative mass of $\rm 10^{8}- 10^{9}\ M_{\odot}$ for a typical AGN outburst energy of $10^{60}~ \rm erg$. They show smooth velocity gradients, stretching typically from inner inflows to outer outflows with velocity dispersions of several hundred $\rm km\ s^{-1}$. The properties of cold filaments are affected substantially by jet properties. Compared to kinetic energy-dominated jets, thermal energy-dominated jets tend to produce longer cold filaments with higher masses. With the same jet energy, AGN jets with an earlier turn-on time, a lower jet base, or a higher power heat the cluster center more effectively, and produce shorter filaments at a much later epoch.
