Disentangling Neurodegeneration with Brain Age Gap Prediction Models: A Graph Signal Processing Perspective
Neurodegeneration, characterized by the progressive loss of neuronal structure or function, is commonly assessed in clinical practice through reductions in cortical thickness or brain volume, as visualized by structural MRI. While informative, these conventional approaches lack the statistical sophistication required to fully capture the spatially correlated and heterogeneous nature of neurodegeneration, which manifests both in healthy aging and in neurological disorders. To address these limit…

Light Travel Time Effects in Kilonova Models
The extremely rapid evolution of kilonovae results in spectra that change on an hourly basis. These spectra are key to understanding the processes occurring within the event, but this rapid evolution is an unfamiliar domain compared to other explosive transient events, such as supernovae. In particular, the most obvious P Cygni feature in the spectra of AT2017gfo -- commonly attributed to strontium -- possesses an emission component that emerges after, and ultimately outlives, its associated ab…

Uncertainty Propagation in Finite Impulse Response Filters: Evaluating the Gaussian Assumption
A common assumption in signal processing is that underlying data numerically conforms to a Gaussian distribution. It is commonly utilized in signal processing to describe unknown additive noise in a system and is often justified by citing the central limit theorem for sums of random variables, although the central limit theorem applies only to sums of independent identically distributed random variables. However, many linear operations in signal processing take the form of weighted sums, which …

Light coupling to photonic integrated circuits using optimized lensed fibers
Efficient and reliable light coupling between optical fibers and photonic integrated circuits has arguably been the most essential issue in integrated photonics for optical interconnects, nonlinear signal conversion, neuromorphic computing, and quantum information processing. A commonly employed approach is to use inverse tapers interfacing with lensed fibers, particularly for waveguides of relatively low refractive index such as silicon nitride (Si3N4), silicon oxynitride and lithium niobate. …

On Improvement of Control Chart using Repetitive Sampling for Monitoring Process Mean
In the practical industry, the most commonly used application of statistical analysis for monitoring the process mean is the control chart. Control charts are generated based on the presumption that we have a sample from a stable process. The control chart then provides a graphical display to test this presumption. In the existing estimator \textcolor{red}{$Mr$}, researchers use a technique involving repetitive sampling along with an auxiliary variable for detecting and monitoring the statistic…

(Dis)Proving Spectre Security with Speculation-Passing Style
Constant-time (CT) verification tools are commonly used for detecting potential side-channel vulnerabilities in cryptographic libraries. Recently, a new class of tools, called speculative constant-time (SCT) tools, has also been used for detecting potential Spectre vulnerabilities. In many cases, these SCT tools have emerged as liftings of CT tools. However, these liftings are seldom defined precisely and are almost never analyzed formally. The goal of this paper is to address this gap, by deve…

FoleyGRAM: Video-to-Audio Generation with GRAM-Aligned Multimodal Encoders
In this work, we present FoleyGRAM, a novel approach to video-to-audio generation that emphasizes semantic conditioning through the use of aligned multimodal encoders. Building on prior advancements in video-to-audio generation, FoleyGRAM leverages the Gramian Representation Alignment Measure (GRAM) to align embeddings across video, text, and audio modalities, enabling precise semantic control over the audio generation process. The core of FoleyGRAM is a diffusion-based audio synthesis model co…
