Forecasting Faculty Placement from Patterns in Co-authorship Networks
Faculty hiring shapes the flow of ideas, resources, and opportunities in academia, influencing not only individual career trajectories but also broader patterns of institutional prestige and scientific progress. While traditional studies have found strong correlations between faculty hiring and attributes such as doctoral department prestige and publication record, they rarely assess whether these associations generalize to individual hiring outcomes, particularly for future candidates outside …

Orchestration of Music by Grammar Systems
This application-oriented study concerns computational musicology, which makes use of grammar systems. We define multi-generative rule-synchronized scattered-context grammar systems (without erasing rules) and demonstrates how to simultaneously make the arrangement of a musical composition for performance by a whole orchestra, consisting of several instruments. Primarily, an orchestration like this is illustrated by examples in terms of classical music. In addition, the orchestration of jazz co…

The Status of the Astrophysical Parameters of Upper Main Sequence Stars
Calibrating the ages, masses, and radii of stars on the upper main sequence depends heavily on accurate measurements of the effective temperature ($T_\mathrm{eff}$) and surface gravity ($\log g$). These parameters are difficult to obtain meticulously due to the nature of hot stars, which exhibit features such as rapid rotation, atomic diffusion, pulsation, and stellar winds. We compare the $T_\mathrm{eff}$, and $\log g$, values of apparent normal B-F stars in four recent catalogues that employ …

The success of such searches depends on a reliable background prediction via Monte Carlo simulations. A widely used toolkit to construct these simulations is Geant4, which offers the user a wide choice of how to model the physics of particle interacti…

Navigating the Python Type Jungle
Python's typing system has evolved pragmatically into a powerful but theoretically fragmented system, with scattered specifications. This paper proposes a formalization to address this fragmentation. The central contribution is a formal foundation that uses concepts from type theory to demonstrate that Python's type system can be elegantly described. This work aims to serve as a crucial first step toward the future development of type inference tools.

In this work, we develop and analyze adaptive feedback control strategies to stabilize and confine a nanoparticle at the unstable intensity minimum of an optical double-well potential. The resulting stochastic optimal control problem for a noise-driven mechanical particle in a nonlinear optical potential must account for unavoidable experimental imperfections such as measurement nonlinearities and slow drifts of the optical setup. To address these issues, we simplify the model in the vicinity o…

A Holistic Architecture for Monitoring and Optimization of Robust Multi-Agent Path Finding Plan Execution
The goal of Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) is to find a set of paths for a fleet of agents moving in a shared environment such that the agents reach their goals without colliding with each other. In practice, some of the robots executing the plan may get delayed, which can introduce collision risk. Although robust execution methods are used to ensure safety even in the presence of delays, the delays may still have a significant impact on the duration of the execution. At some point, the accumu…

Capillary Rise in Pipes with Variable Cross Section
This work proposes an ODE model for a capillary rise in pipes with variable cross section and compares it to the lubrication theory model. Two key assumptions are made: (1) radius of the pipe varies with axial coordinate, and (2) pipe's convergence angle is small. The model reduction process involves the identification of critical parameters and simplifies the governing equations by neglecting higher-order terms. Under appropriate scaling, it is shown that generalized Washburn's equation for ca…

Cognitive imagination is a type of imagination that plays a key role in human thinking. It is not a ``picture-in-the-head'' imagination. It is a faculty to mentally visualize coherent and holistic systems of concepts and causal links that serve as semantic contexts for reasoning, decision making and prediction. Our position is that the role of cognitive imagination is still greatly underestimated, and this creates numerous problems and diminishes the current capabilities of AI. For instance, wh…
