Invasive species control via a discrete model for the Trojan Y-chromosome strategy
Invasive species are a growing threat to ecosystems, particularly in aquatic environments. The Trojan Y Chromosome (TYC) strategy is a promising biological method for reducing invasive populations by introducing genetically modified males (supermales) that produce only male offspring, leading to population decline due to a shortage of females. In this study, we develop a novel discrete--time, age--structured mathematical model to simulate the effects of this strategy. Our model divides the life…

Quantum Mechanical Approach for Modeling of Ternary Based Strained-Layer Superlattice
Ternary-based InAs/InAs1-xSbx Strained-Layer Superlattice (SLS)material with type-II band alignment belongs to the 6.1 A family with reasonably small lattice mismatch with GaSb substrate for epitaxial growth. InAs/InAs1-xSbx SLS have been proven to have more advantages such as longer carrier lifetime, better control on growth and manufacturability, and being considered as an alternative material system for infrared photodetectors. In this article a quantum mechanical based modelling on electron…

Yesterday Trump told us that his plan was to remove 21m people from the United States,
or 6% of our current population and at least 5% of our total current workforce.
“All of them have to go home.”
A few points about this insane post:
Best estimates are that the total undocumented population in the US is between 12m and 15m.
The figure that Trump and his regime keeps using
- 21m came in under Biden
- is made up and false.

Innovative Adaptive Imaged Based Visual Servoing Control of 6 DoFs Industrial Robot Manipulators
Image-based visual servoing (IBVS) methods have been well developed and used in many applications, especially in pose (position and orientation) alignment. However, most research papers focused on developing control solutions when 3D point features can be detected inside the field of view. This work proposes an innovative feedforward-feedback adaptive control algorithm structure with the Youla Parameterization method. A designed feature estimation loop ensures stable and fast motion control whe…

Strain-tuning for superconductivity in La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ thin films
The recent discovery of high-transition temperature ($T_\mathrm{c}$) superconductivity in pressurized La$_{3}$Ni$_{2}$O$_{7}$ bulk crystals has attracted keen attention due to its characteristic energy diagram of $e_{g}$ orbitals, containing nearly half-filled $d_{3z^2 - r^2}$ and quarter-filled $d_{x^2 - y^2}$ orbitals. This finding provides valuable insights into the orbital contributions and interlayer interactions in double NiO$_{6}$ octahedra, offering opportunities to control the electron…

RIS-assisted ISAC Systems for Industrial Revolution 6.0: Exploring the Near-field and Far-field Coexistence
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has emerged as a key technology for realizing the vision of Industry 6.0, requiring the seamless integration of diverse connected devices. In particular, integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) plays a critical role in supporting real-time control and automation within IIoT systems. In this paper, we explore reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted ISAC systems for IIoT in the coexistence of near-field and far-field regions. The system consi…

A Novel Feedforward Youla Parameterization Method for Avoiding Local Minima in Stereo Image Based Visual Servoing Control
In robot navigation and manipulation, accurately determining the camera's pose relative to the environment is crucial for effective task execution. In this paper, we systematically prove that this problem corresponds to the Perspective-3-Point (P3P) formulation, where exactly three known 3D points and their corresponding 2D image projections are used to estimate the pose of a stereo camera. In image-based visual servoing (IBVS) control, the system becomes overdetermined, as the 6 degrees of fre…

From Autonomy to Agency: Agentic Vehicles for Human-Centered Mobility Systems
Autonomy, from the Greek autos (self) and nomos (law), refers to the capacity to operate according to internal rules without external control. Accordingly, autonomous vehicles (AuVs) are defined as systems capable of perceiving their environment and executing preprogrammed tasks independently of external input. However, both research and real-world deployments increasingly showcase vehicles that demonstrate behaviors beyond this definition (including the SAE levels 1 to 6), such as interaction …

Nonvolatile Nematic Order Manipulated by Strain and Magnetic Field in a Layered Antiferromagnet
The operation mechanism of nematic liquid crystals lies in the control of their optical properties by the orientation of underlying nematic directors. In analogy, electronic nematicity refers to a state whose electronic properties spontaneously break rotation symmetries of the host crystalline lattice, leading to anisotropic electronic properties. In this work, we demonstrate that the layered antiferromagnet CoTa$_3$S$_6$ exhibits a switchable nematic order, evidenced by the emergence of both r…

Diversity by Design: Addressing Mode Collapse Improves scRNA-seq Perturbation Modeling on Well-Calibrated Metrics
Recent benchmarks reveal that models for single-cell perturbation response are often outperformed by simply predicting the dataset mean. We trace this anomaly to a metric artifact: control-referenced deltas and unweighted error metrics reward mode collapse whenever the control is biased or the biological signal is sparse. Large-scale \textit{in silico} simulations and analysis of two real-world perturbation datasets confirm that shared reference shifts, not genuine biological change, drives hig…

Testing Paradox May Explain Increased Observed Prevalence of Bacterial STIs among MSM on HIV PrEP: A Modeling Study
HIV pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) has become essential for global HIV control, but its implementation coincides with rising bacterial STI rates among men who have sex with men (MSM). While risk-compensation behavioral changes like reduced condom use are frequently reported, we examine whether intensified asymptomatic screening in PrEP programs creates surveillance artifacts that could be misinterpreted. We developed a compartmental model to represent the simultaneous spread of HIV and chlamyd…

Effect of Vaccine Dose Intervals: Considering Immunity Levels, Vaccine Efficacy, and Strain Variants for Disease Control Strategy
In this study, we present an immuno-epidemic model to understand mitigation options during an epidemic break. The model incorporates comorbidity and multiple-vaccine doses through a system of coupled integro-differential equations to analyze the epidemic rate and intensity from a knowledge of the basic reproduction number and time-distributed rate functions. Our modeling results show that the interval between vaccine doses is a key control parameter that can be tuned to significantly influence …
