Effect of viscoelasticity on electrohydrodynamic drop deformation
The impact of viscoelasticity on drop deformation in the presence of an electric field is investigated using both analytical and numerical methods. The study focuses on two configurations: a viscoelastic drop suspended in a Newtonian fluid and a Newtonian drop suspended in a viscoelastic medium. Oldroyd-B constitutive equation is employed to model constant viscosity viscoelasticity. Effect of Deborah number (ratio of polymer relaxation time to convective time scale) on drop deformation is studi…

Decoding the dark proteome: Deep learning-enabled discovery of druggable enzymes in Wuchereria bancrofti
Wuchereria bancrofti, the parasitic roundworm responsible for lymphatic filariasis, permanently disables over 36 million people and places 657 million at risk across 39 countries. A major bottleneck for drug discovery is the lack of functional annotation for more than 90 percent of the W. bancrofti dark proteome, leaving many potential targets unidentified. In this work, we present a novel computational pipeline that converts W. bancrofti's unannotated amino acid sequence data into precise four…

A flat-mode perspective on the boson peak in amorphous solids
The boson peak is a characteristic anomaly of amorphous solids broadly defined as a low-energy excess in the density of states and heat capacity compared to the textbook predictions of Debye theory. The origin of this anomaly has long been the subject of ongoing debate and remains a topic of active controversy. While remaining agnostic about the microscopic origin of the phenomenon, we propose that the boson peak (BP) may universally originate from a dispersionless, optic-like excitation, which…

AMBEDKAR-A Multi-level Bias Elimination through a Decoding Approach with Knowledge Augmentation for Robust Constitutional Alignment of Language Models
Large Language Models (LLMs) can inadvertently reflect societal biases present in their training data, leading to harmful or prejudiced outputs. In the Indian context, our empirical evaluations across a suite of models reveal that biases around caste and religion are particularly salient. Yet, most existing mitigation strategies are Western-centric and fail to address these local nuances. We propose AMBEDKAR, a framework inspired by the egalitarian vision of Dr B. R. Ambedkar, architect of the …

Spin-dependent orbital selectivity and partial Kondo-screening in magnetically ordered Hund's metal
Hund's metallicity in 3$d$ transition metal oxides constitutes a rare class of compounds, since they have been long understood considering the dominance of Hubbard $U$. $\mathrm{LiV_2O_4}$\& $\mathrm{Sr_2CoO_4}$ belong to this rare class of metals; among them, $\mathrm{LiV_2O_4}$ has been the subject of extensive investigations for its unconventional heavy-fermion behavior, while studies on $\mathrm{Sr_2CoO_4}$ remain limited despite its anomalous ferromagnetic ground state. In this study, we r…

Probing dust torus radius--luminosity relation: An WISE view
We present measurements of the dusty torus sizes of 51 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with a redshift of $z<$ 0.8. Our analysis utilizes about 16 years of optical photometric data of 146 AGNs from various time-domain surveys, including ASAS-SN, CRTS, and ZTF, along with 14 years of infrared data in the $W$1 ($\sim$ 3.4 $μ$m) and $W$2 ($\sim$ 4.6 $μ$m) bands obtained from the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The estimated dust torus size ranges from 1000 to 3000 days, using both the …

Towards Adapting Federated & Quantum Machine Learning for Network Intrusion Detection: A Survey
This survey explores the integration of Federated Learning (FL) with Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS), with particular emphasis on deep learning and quantum machine learning approaches. FL enables collaborative model training across distributed devices while preserving data privacy-a critical requirement in network security contexts where sensitive traffic data cannot be centralized. Our comprehensive analysis systematically examines the full spectrum of FL architectures, deployment s…

Dimension Of Inhomogeneous Sub-Self-Similar Sets
In this paper, we introduce the concept of Inhomogeneous sub-self-similar (ISSS) sets, building upon the foundations laid by Falconer (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 347 (1995) 3121-3129) in the study of sub-self-similar sets and drawing inspiration from Barnsley's work on inhomogeneous self-similar sets (Proc. Roy. Soc. London Ser. A 399 (1985), no. 1817, 24). We explore a range of examples of ISSS sets and elucidate a method to construct ISSS sets. We also investigate the upper and lower box dimensi…

Label Uncertainty for Ultrasound Segmentation
In medical imaging, inter-observer variability among radiologists often introduces label uncertainty, particularly in modalities where visual interpretation is subjective. Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a prime example-it frequently presents a mixture of highly ambiguous regions and clearly discernible structures, making consistent annotation challenging even for experienced clinicians. In this work, we introduce a novel approach to both labeling and training AI models using expert-supplied, per-pixe…

Controlling an altermagnetic spin density wave in the kagome magnet CsCr3Sb5
The interplay of charge and spin orders lies at the heart of correlated electron physics and plays a critical role in the emergence of unconventional quantum phases. Kagome magnets provide a particularly promising platform to investigate these phenomena, owing to their geometrically frustrated lattice structure. However, resolving spin and charge orders microscopically and establishing ways to control them remain fundamental challenges. Here, we demonstrate magnetic field control of an altermag…
