A time-frequency method for acoustic scattering with trapping
A Fourier transform method is introduced for a class of hybrid time-frequency methods that solve the acoustic scattering problem in regimes where the solution exhibits both highly oscillatory behavior and slow decay in time. This extends the applicability of hybrid time-frequency schemes to domains with trapping regions. A fast sinc transform technique for managing highly oscillatory behavior and long time horizons is combined with a contour integration scheme that improves smoothness propertie…

Post-reduction inference for confidence sets of models
Sparsity in a regression context makes the model itself an object of interest, pointing to a confidence set of models as the appropriate presentation of evidence. A difficulty in areas such as genomics, where the number of candidate variables is vast, arises from the need for preliminary reduction prior to the assessment of models. The present paper considers a resolution using inferential separations fundamental to the Fisherian approach to conditional inference, namely, the sufficiency/co-suf…

Periodically Poled Piezoelectric Lithium Niobate Resonator for Piezoelectric Power Conversion
As the demand for compact and efficient power conversion systems increases, piezoelectric power converters have gained attention for their ability to replace bulky magnetic inductors with acoustic resonators, enabling higher power density and improved efficiency. Achieving optimal converter performance requires resonators with high quality factor ($Q$), strong electromechanical coupling ($k^2$), high power handling capability, and a spurious-free response. Lithium niobate (LN) has emerged as a …

The Roasting Marshmallows Program with IGRINS on Gemini South III: Seeing deeper into the metal depleted atmosphere of a gas-giant on the cusp of the hot to ultra-hot Jupiter transition
Ultra-hot Jupiters are a class of gas-giant exoplanets that show a peculiar combination of thermochemical properties in the form of molecular dissociation, atomic ionization, and inverted thermal structures. Atmospheric characterization of gas giants lying in the transitional regime between hot and ultra-hot Jupiters can help in understanding the physical mechanisms that cause the fundamental transition in atmospheres between the two classes of hot gas giants. Using Doppler spectroscopy with IG…

Cybersecurity plays a significant role in the new White House AI plan, but experts say the cyber provisions lack teeth and burden agencies already facing budget cuts.

White House AI plan heavy on cyber, light on implementation
Well-received for its cybersecurity provisions, Trump’s AI action plan could face hurdles in practice due to a lack of implementation hooks and the burden it adds to agencies navigating budget cuts, experts say.

Identifying Orbit Lengths for Promotion
In this work we study Schützenberger's promotion operator on standard Young tableaux via a corresponding graphical construction known as $m-$diagrams. In particular, we prove that certain internal structures of SYT are preserved under promotion and correspond to distinct components of $m-$diagrams. By treating these structures as atomic parts of the $m-$diagram, we provide a simple algorithm for computing the promotion orbit length of rectangular SYT. We conclude the paper by applying our resu…

Moisture-driven CO2 direct air capture and delivery for cultivating cyanobacteria
A moisture-driven air capture system was developed and demonstrated for cultivating cyanobacteria and microalgae at the flask (50 mL), bench (12 L) and small pilot (840 L) scale. Purolite A501 anion exchange resin beads were found to be biocompatible and rapidly deliver air-captured CO2 when immersed directly in an alkaline cultivation medium containing cyanobacteria or microalgae. Flask-scale cultivation trials showed A501 could sustain rapid growth (190 mg/L/d) of the cyanobacterium Synechocy…

Pragmatic Policy Development via Interpretable Behavior Cloning
Offline reinforcement learning (RL) holds great promise for deriving optimal policies from observational data, but challenges related to interpretability and evaluation limit its practical use in safety-critical domains. Interpretability is hindered by the black-box nature of unconstrained RL policies, while evaluation -- typically performed off-policy -- is sensitive to large deviations from the data-collecting behavior policy, especially when using methods based on importance sampling. To add…

Measuring the Suns radial velocity variability due to supergranulation over a magnetic cycle
In recent years supergranulation has emerged as one of the biggest challenges for the detection of Earth-twins in radial velocity planet searches. We used eight years of Sun-as-a-star radial velocity observations from HARPS-N to measure the quiet-Sun's granulation and supergranulation properties of most of its 11-year activity cycle, after correcting for the effects of magnetically active regions using two independent methods. In both cases, we observe a clear, order of magnitude variation in t…

Wastewater surveillance has emerged as a critical public health tool, enabling early detection of infectious disease outbreaks and providing timely, population-level insights into community health trends. However, variability in sample collection and processing, for example between wastewater influent and settled solids, can introduce methodological noise that differentially impacts true epidemiological signals and limits cross-site comparability.

Automated grading systems, or auto-graders, have become ubiquitous in programming education, and the way they generate feedback has become increasingly automated as well.

In this study, we fill this critical gap. Specifically, we analyze students' interactions with auto-graders in …
