Self-trapping of active particles induced by non-reciprocal interactions in disordered media
Disordered media is known to modify the transport properties of active matter depending on interactions between particles and with the substrate. Here we study systems of active particles with visual-like perception that co-align with the positions of perceived conspecifics, and anti-align with positions of static obstacles. We report a novel self-trapping mechanism of particles forming closed loops that progressively shrink, surrounding one or multiple obstacles.This mechanism corresponds to a…

Cowboys might just end up with two CeeDee Lambs if they go off-script in 2024 NFL Draft https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/cowboys_might_just_end_up_with_two_ceedee_lambs_if_they_go_of…

Cowboys might just end up with two CeeDee Lambs if they go off-script in 2024 NFL Draft
The Dallas Cowboys are largely expected to take an offensive lineman in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft but nothing is ever written when it comes to the crucial team-building event. Twists and turns await at every pick, so Cowboys fans shouldn't be underestimating the possibility of the front office taking an unexpected route. There are many non-OL prospects that could make sense for the team at 24th overall and one of them plays wide receiver. Adonai Mitchell has been a consistent riser …

Recovering the activity parameters of an active fluid confined in a sphere
The properties of an active fluid, for example, a bacterial bath or a collection of microtubules and molecular motors, can be accessed through the dynamics of passive particle probes. Here, in the perspective of analyzing experimental situations of confinement in droplets, we consider the kinematics of a negatively buoyant probe particle in an active fluid, both confined within a spherical domain. The active bath generates a fluctuating flow that pushes the particle with a velocity that is mode…

While running, a meteorite passed over me as we were both going SSE. It looked close enough that I listened for the impact, but I’m sure it was much higher than it looked. I’ll take it as an omen. But of what? The Ides of March are approaching…
Anyway my ankle feels like it has recovered from whatever I’d done to it. Still, I kept the run short as a precaution. Glad to be back #Running

Perspectives on physics-based one-dimensional modeling of lung physiology
The need to understand how infection spreads to the deep lung was acutely realized during the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. The challenge of modeling virus laden aerosol transport and deposition in the airways, coupled with mucus clearance, and infection kinetics, became evident. This perspective provides a consolidated view of coupled one-dimensional physics-based mathematical models to probe multifaceted aspects of lung physiology. Successes of 1D trum…

Communication-Assisted Sensing in 6G Networks
Exploring the mutual benefit and reciprocity of sensing and communication (S\&C) functions is fundamental to realizing deeper integration for integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems. This paper investigates a novel communication-assisted sensing (CAS) system within 6G perceptive networks, where the base station actively senses the targets through device-free wireless sensing and simultaneously transmits the estimated information to end-users. In such a CAS system, we first establish…

Not a Swiss Army Knife: Academics' Perceptions of Trade-Offs Around Generative Artificial Intelligence Use
In the rapidly evolving landscape of computing disciplines, substantial efforts are being dedicated to unraveling the sociotechnical implications of generative AI (Gen AI). While existing research has manifested in various forms, there remains a notable gap concerning the direct engagement of knowledge workers in academia with Gen AI. We interviewed 18 knowledge workers, including faculty and students, to investigate the social and technical dimensions of Gen AI from their perspective. Our part…
