FuelCast: Benchmarking Tabular and Temporal Models for Ship Fuel Consumption
In the shipping industry, fuel consumption and emissions are critical factors due to their significant impact on economic efficiency and environmental sustainability. Accurate prediction of ship fuel consumption is essential for further optimization of maritime operations. However, heterogeneous methodologies and limited high-quality datasets hinder direct comparison of modeling approaches. This paper makes three key contributions: (1) we introduce and release a new dataset (https://huggingface…

FlowSeek: Optical Flow Made Easier with Depth Foundation Models and Motion Bases
We present FlowSeek, a novel framework for optical flow requiring minimal hardware resources for training. FlowSeek marries the latest advances on the design space of optical flow networks with cutting-edge single-image depth foundation models and classical low-dimensional motion parametrization, implementing a compact, yet accurate architecture. FlowSeek is trained on a single consumer-grade GPU, a hardware budget about 8x lower compared to most recent methods, and still achieves superior cros…

Performance enhancement in Josephson traveling wave parametric amplifiers by tailoring the relative distance between junctions
Josephson traveling wave parametric amplifiers with heterogeneously spaced junctions are theoretically investigated. We consider unit cells with three junctions and characterize their interaction by spatially displaced fields defined by node fluxes. To solve this problem we define the system action and apply the variational principle to obtain the static action, which determines the equations of motion. This work shows that gain and bandwidth can be increased by modifying the relative distance …

Towards mono-energetic virtual $ν$ beam cross-section measurements: A feasibility study of $ν$-Ar interaction analysis with DUNE-PRISM
Neutrino-nucleus cross-section measurements are critical for future neutrino oscillation analyses. However, our models to describe them require further refinement, and a deeper understanding of the underlying physics is essential for future neutrino oscillation experiments to realize their ambitious physics goals. Current neutrino cross-section measurements provide clear deficiencies in neutrino interaction modeling, but almost all are reported averaged over broad neutrino fluxes, rendering the…

Effects of dark dipole radiation on eccentric supermassive black hole binary inspirals
The final-parsec problem has long posed a central challenge in understanding the merger of supermassive black hole binaries. In this paper, we investigate a scenario in which a dark scalar or vector field is sourced by eccentric binaries, leading to accelerated mergers through additional dipole radiation, and thereby extending the range of masses for which the binary merges within a Hubble time. The radiation fluxes from an eccentric charged Keplerian binary are derived using general results fo…

Cloud Detection using Night Sky Background Light at the Pierre Auger Observatory
Rejection of cloud-contaminated data is a complex and important process at the Pierre Auger Observatory, one which combines information from several sources, including IR cameras, lidars, and satellite imaging. With the deteriorating quality of the IR cameras and challenges in using other sources, we propose a new method. We use continuous detector monitoring measurements to build a large database of night sky background fluxes for each pixel across 27 telescopes. Using this database, we genera…
