RAISE: A self-driving laboratory for interfacial property formulation discovery
Surface wettability is a critical design parameter for biomedical devices, coatings, and textiles. Contact angle measurements quantify liquid-surface interactions, which depend strongly on liquid formulation. Herein, we present the Robotic Autonomous Imaging Surface Evaluator (RAISE), a closed-loop, self-driving laboratory that is capable of linking liquid formulation optimization with surface wettability assessment. RAISE comprises a full experimental orchestrator with the ability of mixing li…

Speckle2Self: Self-Supervised Ultrasound Speckle Reduction Without Clean Data
Image denoising is a fundamental task in computer vision, particularly in medical ultrasound (US) imaging, where speckle noise significantly degrades image quality. Although recent advancements in deep neural networks have led to substantial improvements in denoising for natural images, these methods cannot be directly applied to US speckle noise, as it is not purely random. Instead, US speckle arises from complex wave interference within the body microstructure, making it tissue-dependent. Thi…

Certainty-Guided Reasoning in Large Language Models: A Dynamic Thinking Budget Approach
The rise of large reasoning language models (LRLMs) has unlocked new potential for solving complex tasks. These models operate with a thinking budget, that is, a predefined number of reasoning tokens used to arrive at a solution. We propose a novel approach, inspired by the generator/discriminator framework in generative adversarial networks, in which a critic model periodically probes its own reasoning to assess whether it has reached a confident conclusion. If not, reasoning continues until a…

Das hat mit dem Beutelsbacher Konsens nichts zu tun, das ist einfach nur Kulturkampf aus allen Rohren. Künftig dann statt Heinrich-Böll- oder Geschwister-Scholl-Schulen lieber Hindenburg- und Von-Papen-Gymnasien. In welchen sich die Lehrer gefälligst GAR NICHT mehr zum Thema Politik in irgendeiner Weise äußern. #FediLZ

Probing the Low Radio Frequency Emission in PG Quasars with the uGMRT - II
We present results from uGMRT 685 MHz observations of 87 QSOs belonging to the Palomar Green (PG) quasar sample with $z<0.5$. Radio emission is detected in all sources except for 3 radio-quiet (RQ) sources, viz., PG 0043+039, PG 1121+422, and PG 1552+085. The radio-loud (RL) $-$ RQ dichotomy persists at 685 MHz with only 1 source, PG 1216+069, changing its classification from RQ to RL. Approximately 1/3 of the detected RQ quasars display AGN-dominated radio emission while the rest may show addi…

Transverse slices and Zariski's multiplicity conjecture for quasihomogeneous surfaces
In this work, we study finitely determined, quasihomogeneous, corank 1 map germs $f$ from $(\mathbb{C}^2,0)$ to $(\mathbb{C}^3,0)$. We introduce the notion of the $μ_{\boldsymbol{m},\boldsymbol{k}}$-minimal transverse slice of $f.$ Since this slice is a plane curve, we provide its (topological) normal form. In the irreducible case, under certain conditions, we prove that the number of characteristic exponents of the curve is upper semicontinuous. Furthermore, we show that every topologically t…

NCCR: to Evaluate the Robustness of Neural Networks and Adversarial Examples
Neural networks have received a lot of attention recently, and related security issues have come with it. Many studies have shown that neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial examples that have been artificially perturbed with modification, which is too small to be distinguishable by human perception. Different attacks and defenses have been proposed to solve these problems, but there is little research on evaluating the robustness of neural networks and their inputs. In this work, we pro…

QuintoAndar Group is Latin America's largest housing platform, revolutionizing property rentals and sales. Headquartered in Brazil, it simplifies the housing process by eliminating paperwork and enhancing accessibility for tenants, buyers, and landlords. With thousands of houses available for each city, users struggle to find the ideal home. In this context, location plays a pivotal role, as it significantly influences property value, access to amenities, and life quality. A great location can …

Hvis arbeiderklassen virkelig Ÿnsker reell forandring, kan den ikke komme gjennom å gi makt til en liten elite via valg. Endring må skje gjennom direkte handlinger som streik, protester, solidaritet og bygging av ekte folkemakt i arbeidslivet og lokalmiljŸene.
Anarkosyndikalisme handler om at makten skal ligge hos arbeiderne selv og deres lokalsamfunn, organisert gjennom selvstyrte, desentraliserte fagforeninger og kooperative nettverk, ikke gjennom staten, byråkratiet eller partipolit…
