Certain kinds of gut microbes absorb toxic Pfas
“forever chemicals”
and help expel them from the body via feces,
new first-of-its-kind University of Cambridge research shows.
The findings are welcome news
as the only options that exist for reducing the level of dangerous Pfas compounds from the body are bloodletting and a cholesterol drug that induces unpleasant side effects.
The microbes were found to remove up to 75% of some Pfasfrom the gut of mice.

Enhancing the Clique Local Decoder to Correct Length-2 Space Errors in the Surface Code
The growing demand for fault-tolerant quantum computing drives the need for efficient, scalable Quantum Error Correction (QEC) strategies. Conventional decoders designed for worst-case error scenarios incur significant overhead, prompting the development of local decoders, that leverage the sparse and often trivial nature of many quantum errors, to support the conventional decoders. The previously proposed Clique decoder addresses this by handling isolated, length-1 space and time errors within…

New Formulation of DNN Statistical Mutation Killing for Ensuring Monotonicity: A Technical Report
Mutation testing has emerged as a powerful technique for evaluating the effectiveness of test suites for Deep Neural Networks. Among existing approaches, the statistical mutant killing criterion of DeepCrime has leveraged statistical testing to determine whether a mutant significantly differs from the original model. However, it suffers from a critical limitation: it violates the monotonicity property, meaning that expanding a test set may result in previously killed mutants no longer being cla…

Discovery of Faint Nebulosity Around a Z Camelopardalis-type Cataclysmic Variable in Antlia: Nova Shell or Ancient Planetary Nebula?
We report our discovery of a faint nebula surrounding a previously little-studied 15th-mag variable star, ASASSN-19ds, in the southern-hemisphere constellation Antlia. Spectra verify that the star is a cataclysmic variable (CV). Using new and archival photometry, we confirm that ASASSN-19ds is an eclipsing binary with an orbital period of 0.139 days (3.34 hr). Moreover, its out-of-eclipse brightness shows a "sawtooth" light curve with an amplitude of $\sim$1~mag and an interval between peaks th…

Multiple Soft Scatterings in Scalar Dark Matter Freeze-In
We present an improved calculation of the freeze-in production rate for scalar dark matter (DM) from a gauge-charged parent particle via a renormalizable interaction. Building on the previously developed 1PI-resummed framework to accurately capture the relevant regime $T \sim M$, we expand the analysis to include the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal (LPM) effect, which contributes at leading order $g^2 T$ to the interaction rate in the ultra-relativistic limit. To this end, we derive an equation for t…

We establish corresponding results previously presented in interpolative metric spaces in the framework of b-suprametric spaces with weaker conditions.

Metal Poor Globular Cluster Progenitors at z~6: #Earendel within the Sunrise was previously identified as a candidate star or binary due to size constraints placed by the lensing magnification, however recent works have suggested this constraint may be relaxed to even the size of star clusters. Here, we explore the hypothesis that Earendel may actually be a star cluster, and simultaneously evaluate other star clusters within the host galaxy."

Evaluating interventions for Plasmodium vivax forest malaria using a three-scale mathematical model
The rising proportion of Plasmodium vivax cases concentrated in forest-fringe areas across the Greater Mekong Subregion highlights the importance of pharmaceutical and mosquito control techniques specifically targeted towards forest-going populations. To mathematically assess best-possible antimalarial interventions in the context of hypnozoite reactivation and seasonal forest migration, we extend a previously developed three-scale integro-differential equations model of P. vivax transmission. …

Algebraic Limits of Sandpiles
The paper contributes to building algebraic foundations of self-organized criticality answering a previously unsolved question about the limiting structure of the extended sandpile group as well as relating it to another limit at the level of classical sandpile groups with respect to certain monomorphisms, and puts forward a concept of canonical sandpile epimorphisms, drawing an unexpected consequence about the divisibility properties of the numbers of spanning trees on rectangles.

Generalized Symmetries in Shallow Water
Recent developments have extended the concept of global symmetries in several directions, offering new perspectives across a wide range of physical systems. This work shows that generalized global symmetries naturally emerge in shallow water systems. In particular, we demonstrate that both global and gauge subsystem symmetries-previously studied primarily in exotic field theories-arise intrinsically in the dynamics of shallow water flows. A central result is that the local conservation of poten…

First images of Antares photosphere from spectropolarimetry
Antares is the closest red supergiant (RSG) to Earth. The discovery of linear polarization in the atomic lines of the star opens the path to produce direct images of the photosphere, hence probing the dynamics at the surface. We analyze this linear polarization signals following the same scheme as has been previously done for the RSG Betelgeuse, and find that they are comparable in all its details. This allows us to use the same models for the analysis of these polarization signals in both star…

Horizon Reduction Makes RL Scalable
In this work, we study the scalability of offline reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms. In principle, a truly scalable offline RL algorithm should be able to solve any given problem, regardless of its complexity, given sufficient data, compute, and model capacity. We investigate if and how current offline RL algorithms match up to this promise on diverse, challenging, previously unsolved tasks, using datasets up to 1000x larger than typical offline RL datasets. We observe that despite scaling…

To buy or not to buy: deterministic rent-or-buy problems on node-weighted graphs
We study the rent-or-buy variant of the online Steiner forest problem on node- and edge-weighted graphs. For $n$-node graphs with at most $\bar{n}$ non-zero node-weights, and at most $\tilde{k}$ different arriving terminal pairs, we obtain a deterministic, $O(\log n \log \bar{n})$-competitive algorithm. This improves on the previous best, $O(\log^4 n)$-competitive algorithm obtained by the black-box reduction from (Bartal et al. 2021) combined with the previously best deterministic algorithms f…

Hypergraph Tversky-Aware Domain Incremental Learning for Brain Tumor Segmentation with Missing Modalities
Existing methods for multimodal MRI segmentation with missing modalities typically assume that all MRI modalities are available during training. However, in clinical practice, some modalities may be missing due to the sequential nature of MRI acquisition, leading to performance degradation. Furthermore, retraining models to accommodate newly available modalities can be inefficient and may cause overfitting, potentially compromising previously learned knowledge. To address these challenges, we p…

Impact of Tariff Wars on Global Economy
The Ricardian model of world trade based on comparative advantage is not sufficient to justify equal trade relations.The existing model of trade relations does not explain the distribution of income among trading countries. This paper presents a method for building equitable trade relations. Its essence is to present an algorithm for building such trade relations, based on the previously proposed model of world trade, that the trade balance of each country would be equal to zero.

Quantum processors based on neutral atoms trapped in arrays of optical tweezers have appealing properties, including relatively easy qubit number scaling and the ability to engineer arbitrary gate connectivity with atom movement. However, these platforms are inherently prone to atom loss, and the ability to replace lost atoms during a quantum computation is an important but previously elusive capability. Here, we demonstrate the ability to measure and re-initialize, and if necessary replace, a …

Spatially Local Estimates of the Thermal Conductivity of Materials
In this paper we describe a spatial decomposition of the thermal conductivity, what we name "site-projected thermal conductivity", a gauge of the thermal conduction activity at each site. The method is based on the Green-Kubo formula and the harmonic approximation, and requires the force-constant and dynamical matrices and of course the structure of a model sitting at an energy minimum. Throughout the paper, we use high quality models previously tested and compared to many experiments. We discu…

Bootstrapping Gravity with Crossing Symmetric Dispersion Relations
We derive bounds on Wilson coefficients in gravitational effective field theories using fully crossing symmetric dispersion relations. These sum rules naturally isolate finite subsets of low-energy couplings without relying on the forward limit or specific high-energy completions. We validate our method by matching bounds computed previously for scalar scattering with gravity as well as for supergraviton scattering. For graviton scattering we use crossing symmetric functions that combine variou…

$x-y$ swap for $(2,2p+1)$ minimal string
We continue the study of 2D gravity -- ``matrix model'' duality on the example of $(2,2p+1)$ minimal string. We propose a reformulation of the duality, related to a more conventional one by ``$x-y$ swap'' in the language of topological recursion. This formulation elucidates some conceptual and technical difficulties in the dictionary of the duality and relation to other examples. In particular, it allows to circumvent the necessity to use ``resonance transformations'', that were previously intr…
