Role of hydrogen dynamics and deposition conditions in photochromic YHO/MoO$_3$ bilayer films
Oxygen-containing yttrium hydride (YHO) and molybdenum trioxide (MoO$_3$) bilayer films (YHO/MoO$_3$) are produced using reactive magnetron sputtering, and their photochromic properties are investigated in relation to the thickness and density of the MoO$_3$ layer. Compared to single YHO films, the YHO/MoO$_3$ films exhibit faster coloration and larger contrast, with both parameters adjustable by varying the thickness or deposition pressure of the MoO$_3$ layer. Transparent YHO/MoO$_3$ films (~…

Infinite convex geometries with lower semi-modularity and join semi-distributivity
The following article treats about convex geometries which are lower semi-modular and join semi-distributive lattices. Firstly, it is shown that there is a class $K$ of infinite convex geometries which can be build out of finite ones by using the construction of a union of a chain. Then it is shown that elements of $K$ preserve lower semi-modularity and join semi-distributivity which are not default properties in the infinite setting. It is also discussed that not all of the infinite convex geo…

Thin active nematohydrodynamic layers: asymptotic theories and instabilities
Starting from a three-dimensional description of an active nematic layer, we employ an asymptotic theory to derive a series of low-dimensional continuum models that capture the coupled dynamics of flat and curved films, including variations in film thickness, shape deformations, internal velocity fields, and the dynamics of orientational order. Using this asymptotic theory, we investigate instabilities driven by activity in both the nematic and isotropic phases for cylindrical and flat films.…

Improving the lifetime of aluminum-based superconducting qubits through atomic layer etching and deposition
We present a dry surface treatment combining atomic layer etching and deposition (ALE and ALD) to mitigate dielectric loss in fully fabricated superconducting quantum devices formed from aluminum thin films on silicon. The treatment, performed as a final processing step prior to device packaging, starts by conformally removing the native metal oxide and fabrication residues from the exposed surfaces through ALE before \textit{in situ} encapsulating the metal surfaces with a thin dielectric laye…

Assessing the Benefits of Ground Vehicles as Moving Urban Base Stations
In the evolution towards 6G user-centric networking, the moving network (MN) paradigm can play an important role. In a MN, some small cell base stations (BS) are installed on top of vehicles, and enable a more dynamic, flexible and sustainable, network operation. By "following" the users movements and adapting dynamically to their requests, the MN paradigm enables a more efficient utilization of network resources, mitigating the need for dense small cell BS deployments at the cost of an increas…

Strategy Evolution in the Adoption of Conservation Tillage Technology under Time Preference Heterogeneity and Lemon Market: Insights from Evolutionary Dynamics
The promotion of Conservation Tillage Technology (CTT) is critical for mitigating global soil degradation, yet their actual adoption rates remain substantially lower than anticipated targets. Existing research predominantly focuses on static factor analyses, failing to adequately capture the dynamic evolutionary mechanisms of farmer strategic interactions and the impacts of information asymmetries in agricultural markets. This study constructs an evolutionary game model integrating heterogeneou…

A thousand years ago, I began to abandon the idea of becoming a lawyer because (without having a clue what I was doing) I installed the now defunct Mandrake Linux with KDE on my PC.
But the feeling of success (and feeling like a real hacker) came when I opened the Amarok player and was able to play 'Comfort Eagle' by CAKE. It worked on right away! Now I feel nostalgic every time I hear it.
Looking back, I think that was a key moment.

Why use hyperlinking if you can create videos recording screens recording screens, just to be able to document other people documenting your own work. The modern internet is just sooo amazing!
