Improving Surgical Risk Prediction Through Integrating Automated Body Composition Analysis: a Retrospective Trial on Colectomy Surgery
Objective: To evaluate whether preoperative body composition metrics automatically extracted from CT scans can predict postoperative outcomes after colectomy, either alone or combined with clinical variables or existing risk predictors. Main outcomes and measures: The primary outcome was the predictive performance for 1-year all-cause mortality following colectomy. A Cox proportional hazards model with 1-year follow-up was used, and performance was evaluated using the concordance index (C-index…

Binary systems as gravitational wave detectors
``Adding colour'' to the gravitational-wave sky by probing unexplored frequency bands has the potential to unveil new and unexpected phenomena in the Universe. In these proceedings, we summarise current efforts to probe gravitational waves with $μ$Hz frequencies through their resonant impact on binary systems. We also discuss how these binaries can explore uncharted regions of parameter space in the hunt for dark matter.

Unlocking time-dependent $CP$ violation without signal vertexing at $B$ factories
We present a novel method to measure, without reconstructing the signal decay vertex, time-dependent $CP$ violation in $B^0$ mesons produced in energy-asymmetric electron-positron collisions near the $Υ(4S)$ resonance. The method relies on quantum-entangled $B^0\overline{B}^0$ pair-production making the decay time of the partner meson sensitive to $CP$ violation of the signal. We derive analytical expressions for the relevant time-evolution and study, as a use case, an application to $B^0\toπ…

Fast Transitions of X-ray Variability in the Neutron Star Low Mass X-ray Binary Cygnus X-2
We present a spectral-timing analysis of two NICER observations of the weakly magnetized neutron star low-mass X-ray binary Cygnus X-2. During these observations, we detect a rapid transition from a narrow 50-Hz horizontal-branch oscillation to a broad 5-Hz normal-branch oscillation, accompanied by an increase in source flux and a decrease in spectral hardness. Thanks to the large effective area of NICER, we are able to conduct a detailed comparison of the spectra associated with different type…

JWST lens model for A370: A very low dark matter fraction for a brightest cluster galaxy and lensing properties for the Dragon arc
We present a new lens model for the $z=0.375$ galaxy cluster Abell 370 based on previously spectroscopically confirmed lensed galaxies and new lensed systems identified in JWST data, including recent data from the MAGNIF program. Based on the best models able to reproduce two radial arcs near the BCGs, we compare the stellar mass to the total mass from the lens model and find that the fraction of dark matter in the south BCG is consistent with $Λ$CDM while in the north BCG we find a very small…

Voter model on heterogeneous directed networks
We investigate the consensus dynamics of the voter model on large random graphs with heterogeneous and directed features, focusing in particular on networks with power-law degree distributions. By extending recent results on sparse directed graphs, we derive exact first-order asymptotics for the expected consensus time in directed configuration models with i.i.d. Pareto-distributed in- and out-degrees. For any tail exponent α>0, we derive the mean consensus time scaling depending on the networ…

Synaptic plasticity in Co/Nb:STO memristive devices: The role of oxygen vacancies
Neuromorphic computing aims to develop energy-efficient devices that mimic biological synapses. One promising approach involves memristive devices that can dynamically adjust their electrical resistance in response to stimuli, similar to synaptic weight changes in the brain. However, a key challenge is understanding and controlling the coexistence of different types of synaptic plasticity, such as short-term and long-term plasticity. In this work, we show that plasticity behaviors in Co/Nb:STO …

Quasi-normal modes and echoes of generalized black hole bounces and their correspondence with shadows
We study the quasi-normal modes (QNMs) of a family of generalized black bounces interpolating between regular black holes and traversable wormhole solutions according to a single extra parameter $a$. Firstly, working with a generic spherically symmetric space-time with arbitrary radial function and an anisotropic fluid matter source, the general equations for the gravitational waves are obtained. Then, we focus on such particular space-time metric and use the time-domain method to find the evol…

Improved error bounds for Koopman operator and reconstructed trajectories approximations with kernel-based methods
In this article, we propose a new error bound for Koopman operator approximation using Kernel Extended Dynamic Mode Decomposition. The new estimate is $O(N^{-1/2})$, with a constant related to the probability of success of the bound, given by Hoeffding's inequality, similar to other methodologies, such as Philipp et al. Furthermore, we propose a \textit{lifting back} operator to obtain trajectories generated by embedding the initial state and iterating a linear system in a higher dimension. Thi…

Semi-supervised Community Detection using Glauber Dynamics for an Ising Model
We consider graphs with two communities and analyze an algorithm for learning the community labels when the edges of the graph and only a small fraction of the labels are known in advance. The algorithm is based on the Glauber dynamics for an Ising model where the energy function includes a quadratic penalty on the magnetization. The analysis focuses on graphs sampled from a Stochastic Block Model (SBM) with slowly growing mean degree. We derive a mean-field limit for the magnetization of each …

Low-Power Optical Actuation of n-GaAs Cantilevers via Surface Piezoelectric Coupling
The mechanical behavior of any semiconductor microstructure is inevitably coupled to light. In the case of micro mechanical resonators (MEMs), carrier generation can affect the quality factor of the resonance through electron-phonon scattering and ohmic losses, but it may also inject energy into the structure and induce movement. Thus, semiconductor MEMs may be regarded as intrinsically optomechanical systems. Here, we report on the optical actuation of a simple-clamped n-GaAs cantilever. This …

Our key idea is to exploit the concept of input-output dissipativity of nonlinear systems by learning n…

We find that CMB photons passing through local voids ($z<0.03$) are hotter than expected at the $2.7-3.6σ$ level. Combined with earlier findings showing a $>5σ$ cooling of CMB photons in galactic filaments in the same redshift range, we now have possible evidence for a negative Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect in the very recent universe. In addition to having opposite sign, the observed amplitude is an order of magnitude larger than the predicted Rees-Sciama and ISW effects for the nearby…
