How do annotations affect Java code readability?
Context: Code annotations have gained widespread popularity in programming languages, offering developers the ability to attach metadata to code elements to define custom behaviors. Many modern frameworks and APIs use annotations to keep integration less verbose and located nearer to the corresponding code element. Despite these advantages, practitioners' anecdotal evidence suggests that annotations might negatively affect code readability. Objective: To better understand this effect, this pape…

Understanding and Shaping Human-Technology Assemblages in the Age of Generative AI
Generative AI capabilities are rapidly transforming how we perceive, interact with, and relate to machines. This one-day workshop invites HCI researchers, designers, and practitioners to imaginatively inhabit and explore the possible futures that might emerge from humans combining generative AI capabilities into everyday technologies at massive scale. Workshop participants will craft stories, visualisations, and prototypes through scenario-based design to investigate these possible futures, res…

Up around the bend: a multi-wavelength view of the quasar 3C 345
The flat-spectrum radio quasar 3C 345 has been showing gamma-ray activity since the mid-2000s along with activity across the electromagnetic spectrum. A gamma-ray burst in 2009 was successfully linked to relativistic outflow in 43 GHz VLBI observations and has since been analyzed also using single dish measurements. A multi-wavelength follow- up VLBI observation to the 2009 flare in conjunction with 43 GHz catalogue data from the VLBA-BU-BLAZAR and BEAM-ME programs are analyzed in this study in…

Interplay between Contractivity and Monotonicity for Reaction Networks
This work studies relationships between monotonicity and contractivity, and applies the results to establish that many reaction networks are weakly contractive, and thus, under appropriate compactness conditions, globally convergent to equilibria. Verification of these properties is achieved through a novel algorithm that can be used to generate cones for monotone systems. The results given here allow a unified proof of global convergence for several classes of networks that had been previously…

ANAIS-112 three years data: a sensitive model independent negative test of the DAMA/LIBRA dark matter signal
Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are well-motivated candidates for dark matter. One signature of galactic WIMPs is the annual modulation expected in a detector's interaction rate, which arises from Earth's rotation around the Sun. Over two decades, the DAMA/LIBRA experiment has observed such modulation with 250 kg of NaI(Tl) scintillators, in accordance with WIMP expectations but inconsistent with the negative results of other experiments. The signal, however, depends on the target,…

Impact of periodic vaccination in SEIRS seasonal model
We study three different strategies of vaccination in a SEIRS (Susceptible--Exposed--Infected--Recovered--Susceptible) seasonal forced model, which are: ($i$) continuous vaccination; ($ii$) periodic short time localized vaccination and ($iii$) periodic pulsed width campaign. Considering the first strategy, we obtain an expression for the basic reproduction number and infer a minimum vaccination rate necessary to ensure the stability of the disease-free equilibrium (DFE) solution. In the second …

Adaptive Online Learning of Separable Path Graph Transforms for Intra-prediction
Current video coding standards, including H.264/AVC, HEVC, and VVC, employ discrete cosine transform (DCT), discrete sine transform (DST), and secondary to Karhunen-Loeve transforms (KLTs) decorrelate the intra-prediction residuals. However, the efficiency of these transforms in decorrelation can be limited when the signal has a non-smooth and non-periodic structure, such as those occurring in textures with intricate patterns. This paper introduces a novel adaptive separable path graph-based tr…
