Note: Harnessing Tellurium Nanoparticles in the Digital Realm Plasmon Resonance, in the Context of Brewster's Angle and the Drude Model for Fake News Adsorption in Incomplete Information Games
This note explores the innovative application of soliton theory and plasmonic phenomena in modeling user behavior and engagement within digital health platforms. By introducing the concept of soliton solutions, we present a novel approach to understanding stable patterns of health improvement behaviors over time. Additionally, we delve into the role of tellurium nanoparticles and their plasmonic properties in adsorbing fake news, thereby influencing user interactions and engagement levels. Thro…

Interplay between short-range and critical long-range fluctuations in the out-of-equilibrium behavior of the particle density at quantum transitions
We address the equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium behavior of the particle density in many-body systems undergoing quantum transitions driven by the chemical potential $μ$. They originate from a nontrivial interplay between noncritical short-range and critical long-range quantum fluctuations. As a paradigmatic model we consider the one-dimensional fermionic Kitaev chain, for which very accurate numerical checks of our scaling ansatz can be performed up to $O(10^4)$ sites. The search for dynami…

On HTLC-Based Protocols for Multi-Party Cross-Chain Swaps
In his 2018 paper, Herlihy introduced an atomic protocol for multi-party asset swaps across different blockchains. His model represents an asset swap by a directed graph whose nodes are the participating parties and edges represent asset transfers, and rational behavior of the participants is captured by a preference relation between a protocol's outcomes. Asset transfers between parties are achieved using smart contracts. These smart contracts are quite involved and they require storage and pr…

Spectral effects of radiating gases on the ignition in a multiswirl staged model combustor using full-spectrum k distribution method -- A Large Eddy Simulation Investigation
Radiative heat transfer has been proven to be important during the ignition process in gas turbine. Those radiating gases (CO2, H2O, CO) generated during combustion may display strong spectral, or nongray behavior, which is difficult to both characterize and calculate. In this work, both the full-spectrum k-distribution (FSK) and weighted-sum-of-gray-gases (WSGG) method, along with the Dynamic-thickened-flame (DTF) and Large-Eddy-Simulation (LES) methods, are used to analyze how spectral behavi…

Charge-order melting in the one-dimensional Edwards model
We use infinite matrix-product-state techniques to study the time evolution of the charge-density-wave (CDW) order after a quench or a light pulse in a fundamental fermion-boson model. The motion of fermions in the model is linked to the creation of bosonic excitations, which counteracts the melting of the CDW order. For low-energy quenches corresponding to a change of the boson relaxation rate, we find behavior similar to that in an effective $t$-$V$ model. When the boson energy is quenched in…

High Energy Density Radiative Transfer in the Diffusion Regime with Fourier Neural Operators
Radiative heat transfer is a fundamental process in high energy density physics and inertial fusion. Accurately predicting the behavior of Marshak waves across a wide range of material properties and drive conditions is crucial for design and analysis of these systems. Conventional numerical solvers and analytical approximations often face challenges in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency. In this work, we propose a novel approach to model Marshak waves using Fourier Neural Operators…

Open source sustainability questions
As a user, sponsor and supporter of various open source projects, I find that I am again thinking about the financial sustainability of these projects. The benefits of projects like Mastodon are undeniable and a joy to many people, myself included. But have we found a sustainable financial model that supports on-going development and longevity of open source projects? I would be interested in other people's thoughts about this.
Linux seems to have found a sustainable model through the Linux Foundation. Canonical provides commercial level support for Ubuntu Linux. I suspect they are sustained by paid optional technical support agreements. I know that OpenSSL struggled for some time before finding some corporate sponsors and they also do consulting projects.
However, I’ve watched a number of decent open source solutions gradually drift into the hands of commercial operators or become more limited through licensing. Java, MySQL, Vault and MongoDB initially come to mind. To me many current open source projects seem at risk for this.
I am interested in thoughts about open source sustainability, and examples that you might add to my limited list. I will summarize the results on this in a later post. Also, please feel free to share links to other sources that discuss this question.
I would appreciate a boost if you are so inclined.
