From Provable Correctness to Probabilistic Generation: A Comparative Review of Program Synthesis Paradigms
Program synthesis--the automated generation of executable code from high-level specifications--has been a central goal of computer science for over fifty years. This thesis provides a comparative literature review of the main paradigms that have shaped the field, tracing its evolution from formal logic based methods to recent advances using large scale neural models. We examine five key approaches: logic based (deductive) synthesis, inductive (example based) synthesis, sketch/schema based synth…

Is LLM-Generated Code More Maintainable \& Reliable than Human-Written Code?
Background: The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) in software development has opened new possibilities for code generation. Despite the widespread use of this technology, it remains unclear how well LLMs generate code solutions in terms of software quality and how they compare to human-written code. Aims: This study compares the internal quality attributes of LLM-generated and human-written code. Method: Our empirical study integrates datasets of coding tasks, three LLM configurations (zero-…

CLUES III: Do User Choices Impact The Results of SED Fitting? Tests of 'Off-The-Shelf' Stellar Population and Dust Extinction Models in the CLUES Sample
The simple stellar population models produced by stellar population and spectral synthesis (SPS) codes are used as spectral templates in a variety of astrophysical contexts. In this paper, we test the predictions of four commonly used stellar population synthesis codes (YGGDRASIL, BPASS, FSPS, and a modified form of GALAXEV which we call GALAXEVneb) by using them as spectral templates for photometric SED fitting with a sample of 18 young stellar clusters. All clusters have existing HST COS FUV …

Finding My Way: Influence of Different Audio Augmented Reality Navigation Cues on User Experience and Subjective Usefulness
As augmented reality (AR) becomes increasingly prevalent in mobile and context-aware applications, the role of auditory cues in guiding users through physical environments is becoming critical. This study investigates the effectiveness and user experience of various categories of audio cues, including fully non-verbal sounds and speech-derived Spearcons, during outdoor navigation tasks using the Meta Quest 3 headset. Twenty participants navigated five outdoor routes using audio-only cue types: …

The Algebraic Structure of Morphosyntax
Within the context of the mathematical formulation of Merge and the Strong Minimalist Thesis, we present a mathematical model of the morphology-syntax interface. In this setting, morphology has compositional properties responsible for word formation, organized into a magma of morphological trees. However, unlike syntax, we do not have movement within morphology. A coproduct decomposition exists, but it requires extending the set of morphological trees beyond those which are generated solely by …

Computational Modelling of Thixotropic Multiphase Fluids
Multiphase systems are ubiquitous in engineering, biology, and materials science, where understanding their complex interactions and rheological behavior is crucial for advancing applications ranging from emulsion stability to cellular phase separation. This study presents a numerical methodology for modeling thixotropic multiphase fluids, emphasizing the transient behavior of viscosity and the intricate interactions between phases. The model incorporates phase-dependent viscosities, interfacia…

Been meaning to post about this for sometime now. Our bass player got one of these, and it absolutely kills. Perfect 80s synth bass sounds; super quick, accurate tracking. He has tried everything else, and this is the best thing he's ever had on his board.

Rotational Dynamics of ATP Synthase: Mechanical Constraints and Energy Dissipative Channels
The proton motive force (PMF) across the inner mitochondrial membrane delivers approximately 0.2 eV of energy per proton, powering the FoF1-ATP synthase molecular motor. Here, we provide a detailed accounting of how this energy is utilized: Approximately 75-83% is transduced into the chemical free energy of ATP synthesis, while the remaining 17-25% is dissipated through internal friction, viscous drag, proton leakage, electroviscous effects, elastic deformations, and information-theoretic costs…

Intercultural perspective in teacher training: Astronomy as an entry point
With the aim of incorporating an intercultural perspective into Physics teacher training programs, we ask ourselves which current disciplinary contents could begin to be addressed from this perspective. We started out by exploring the current state of the field exclusively in relation to intercultural science education, focusing on direct relationships with Physics. We present here a synthesis of publications from the past five years that we have found so far. These publications were categorize…
