Passive Detection in Multi-Static ISAC Systems: Performance Analysis and Joint Beamforming Optimization
This paper investigates the passive detection problem in multi-static integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems, where multiple sensing receivers (SRs) jointly detect a target using random unknown communication signals transmitted by a collaborative base station. Unlike traditional active detection, the considered passive detection does not require complete prior knowledge of the transmitted communication signals at each SR. First, we derive a generalized likelihood ratio test detecto…

One-Shot Simulation of Static Disorder in Quantum Dynamics with Equilibrium Initial State via Matrix Product State Sampling
Static disorder plays a crucial role in the electronic dynamics and spectroscopy of complex molecular systems. Traditionally, obtaining observables averaged over static disorder requires thousands of realizations via direct sampling of the disorder distribution, leading to high computational costs. In this work, we extend the auxiliary degree-of-freedom based matrix product state (MPS) method to handle system-bath correlated thermal equilibrium initial states. We validate the effectiveness of t…

Modeling, control, and stiffness regulation of layer jamming-based continuum robots
Continuum robots with variable compliance have gained significant attention due to their adaptability in unstructured environments. Among various stiffness modulation techniques, layer jamming (LJ) provides a simple yet effective approach for achieving tunable stiffness. However, most existing LJ-based continuum robot models rely on static or quasi-static approximations, lacking a rigorous control-oriented dynamical formulation. Consequently, they are unsuitable for real-time control tasks requ…

Fast and exact simulations of stochastic epidemics on static and temporal networks
Epidemic models on complex networks have been widely used to study how the social structure of a population affect the spreading of epidemics. However, their numerical simulation can be computationally heavy, especially for large networks. In this paper, we introduce NEXT-Net: a flexible implementation of the next reaction method for epidemic spreading on both static and temporal networks. By systematic tests on artificial and real-world networks, we find that NEXT-Net is substantially faster t…

In this paper, we study the Poisson compound decision problem in a streaming or online domain. Adopting a quasi-Bayesian approach, referred to as Newton's algorithm, we obtain a sequential estimate that is easy to evaluate, computationally efficient, and maintain a constant per-observation computational cost…

Impact of nonlinearities on relativistic dynamical tides in compact binary inspirals
The tidal deformation of a neutron star in a binary inspiral driven by the emission of gravitational waves affects the orbital dynamics and produces a measurable modulation of the waves. Late in the inspiral, a regime of dynamical tides takes over from a prior regime of static tides. A recent analysis by Yu et al. [M.N.R.A.S. 519, 4325 (2022)] reveals that nonlinear aspects of the tidal interaction are important during the regime of dynamical tides. Their theoretical framework is grounded in Ne…

Aging of amorphous materials under cyclic strain
Amorphous materials driven away from equilibrium display a diverse repertoire of complex, history-dependent behaviors. One striking feature is a failure to return to equilibrium after an abrupt change in otherwise static external conditions. Instead, amorphous materials often exhibit physical aging: an ever-slowing, nonexponential relaxation that can span a huge range of timescales. Here we examine the aging behavior of three different amorphous materials subjected to slow periodic driving. The…

Meteorologically-Informed Adaptive Conformal Prediction for Tropical Cyclone Intensity Forecasting
Rapid intensification (RI) of tropical cyclones (TCs) poses a great challenge due to their highly nonlinear dynamics and inherent uncertainties.

To address this issue, we propose a physically-inspired covariate adaptive conformal prediction framework that dynamically…

Lagrangian-based Equilibrium Propagation: generalisation to arbitrary boundary conditions & equivalence with Hamiltonian Echo Learning
Equilibrium Propagation (EP) is a learning algorithm for training Energy-based Models (EBMs) on static inputs which leverages the variational description of their fixed points. Extending EP to time-varying inputs is a challenging problem, as the variational description must apply to the entire system trajectory rather than just fixed points, and careful consideration of boundary conditions becomes essential. In this work, we present Generalized Lagrangian Equilibrium Propagation (GLEP), which e…

Ich finde die deutsche Feiertagsdiskussion irre, solange man nicht Tage, sondern Wochen mit irrsinniger Bürokratie aus dem Hause Schilda verbringt. Das deutsche Steuerrecht ist komplett krank, die Planfeststellungverfahren führen zum Totalstillstand. Im Ahrtal bauen sie wieder in die Flutgebiete weil der Flächentausch nicht gelingt. Aber einen Feiertag abschaffen für den journalistischen Clickbait. #Fail …

System-integrated intrinsic static-dynamic pressure sensing enabled by charge excitation and 3D gradient engineering for autonomous robotic interaction
High-resolution pressure sensing that distinguishes static and dynamic inputs is vital for intelligent robotics but remains challenging for self-powered sensors. We present a self-powered intrinsic static-dynamic pressure sensor (iSD Sensor) that integrates charge excitation with a 3D gradient-engineered structure, achieving enhanced voltage outputs-over 25X for static and 15X for dynamic modes. The sensor exhibits multi-region sensitivities (up to 34.7 V/kPa static, 48.4 V/kPa dynamic), a low …

Ce matin je prends un TER. Le train s'arrête, mais la porte en face de moi n'est pas pour les vélos, donc je marche jusqu'Š la bonne porte. Sauf que je n'ai pas de vélo, je vais prendre un TGV derrière.
Purée je suis formaté 🤦. Alors même que je ne prends presque plus le TER depuis 5 ans, moment où je me suis mis Š faire tout le chemin Š vélo.

Verschiedene Minister in Bund & Ländern nehmen es mit dem Rechtsstaat nicht so genau. Dobrindt ignoriert eine Gerichtsentscheidung zur Zurückweisung, im Saarland wird eine Gerichtsentscheidung zur Abholzung des Stadtwaldes ignoriert. In Frankreich haben sie zumindest nach der Gerichtsentscheidung zur A69 das Gesetz geändert, um den Schein zu wahren.
Und dann wundern wir uns, warum der Rest der Bürger auch keinen Bock mehr auf Rechtsstaat hat und alle frisieren, wo sie können.

Ma monture Skywatcher neq6. Ça faisait des mois qu'elle faisait tactactac, inutilisable. Ce matin avec mon voisin on a bricolé dedans (enfin surtout lui, j'y connais rien).
Depuis elle tourne comme une horloge. Ça sert aussi Š ça, les rencontres astronomiques, Š retrouver les copains, et les coups de mains!
Mise en station Š l'arrache, au pif, résultat, le soleil est toujours centré après plusieurs heures de suivi.

Optimal Robotic Velcro Peeling with Force Feedback
We study the problem of peeling a Velcro strap from a surface using a robotic manipulator. The surface geometry is arbitrary and unknown. The robot has access to only the force feedback and its end-effector position. This problem is challenging due to the partial observability of the environment and the incompleteness of the sensor feedback. To solve it, we first model the system with simple analytic state and action models based on quasi-static dynamics assumptions. We then study the fully-obs…

A Rome, des milliers de personnes manifestent contre la loi sur la sécurité du gouvernement ultraconservateur de Giorgia Meloni
Ce décret-loi, adopté début avril par le gouvernement et voté jeudi par la Chambre des députés, protège notamment les forces de l’ordre en cas d’accusations de violences policières, et renforce les peines pour certains délits.

La raison : `Selon le journal, le président républicain a découvert que M. Isaacman aurait effectué par le passé des dons Š des élus démocrates.`

Donald Trump renonce à nommer Jared Isaacman, proche d’Elon Musk, à la tête de la NASA
« Un remplaçant sera annoncé directement par le président Trump prochainement », fait savoir la Maison Blanche.
