Anisotropy of the chiral, semiconducting phase LaRhC$_{2}$: a handedness resolved study
Chirality in quantum materials is a topic of significant importance due to its profound effects on the electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of these systems. However, it is non-trivial to decouple the behavior of two enantiomorphs within the same material -- perhaps explaining why the influence of chirality on electrical properties has remained largely unexplored. In this work, we examine the electrical conductivity, magnetoresistance, and thermal expansion coefficient of LaRhC$_{2}$ --…

An ALMA Band 7 survey of SDSS/Herschel quasars in Stripe 82: I. The properties of the 870 micron counterparts
(Abridged) Quasar studies with Herschel/SPIRE often report host luminosities ranging from 10^{12} to 10^{14} Lsun, suggestive of star formation rates (SFRs) of up to several thousand Msun/yr. Due to the limited spatial resolution of SPIRE, it is uncertain whether the far-infrared (FIR) emission originates from the quasar itself, nearby sources, or unrelated sources within the SPIRE beam. High-resolution observations at wavelengths close to the SPIRE coverage are needed to pinpoint the true sour…

Easy Acceleration with Distributed Arrays
High level programming languages and GPU accelerators are powerful enablers for a wide range of applications. Achieving scalable vertical (within a compute node), horizontal (across compute nodes), and temporal (over different generations of hardware) performance while retaining productivity requires effective abstractions. Distributed arrays are one such abstraction that enables high level programming to achieve highly scalable performance. Distributed arrays achieve this performance by derivi…

Prescribed performance control of uncertain higher-order nonlinear systems in the presence of delays
We propose a novel feedback controller for a class of uncertain higher-order nonlinear systems, subject to delays in both state measurement and control input signals. Building on the prescribed performance control framework, a delay-dependent performance correction mechanism is introduced to ensure the boundedness of all signals in the closed-loop and to keep the output tracking error strictly within a dynamically adjusted performance envelope. This mechanism adapts in response to large delays …

Resonant Scattering of Boosted Dark Matter
We develop a simulation within GENIE of the excitation of baryonic resonances by boosted dark matter. This work completes the simulation of all scattering modes for dark matter entering a detector at relativistic speeds. At some boosts, resonant scattering can contribute over 30% to the scattering rate. This channel offers a potentially powerful probe of the isospin structure of dark matter interactions via the relative prominence of the isospin-changing $Δ$ resonance. We study the estimated s…

SPARE: Securing Progressive Web Applications Against Unauthorized Replications
WebView applications are widely used in mobile applications to display web content directly within the app, enhancing user engagement by eliminating the need to open an external browser and providing a seamless experience. Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) further improve usability by combining the accessibility of web apps with the speed, offline capabilities, and responsiveness of native applications. However, malicious developers can exploit this technology by duplicating PWA web links to …

Deep learning-driven adaptive optics for laser wavefront correction
{We report on an intensity-only and deep-learning based method for laser beam characterization that allows to predict the underlying optical field within milliseconds. A simple near-field / far-field camera setup enables online control of an adaptive optics to optimize beam quality. The robustness and precision of the method is enhanced by applying the concept of phase diversity based on spiral phase plates.
