VM-UNET-V2 Rethinking Vision Mamba UNet for Medical Image Segmentation
In the field of medical image segmentation, models based on both CNN and Transformer have been thoroughly investigated. However, CNNs have limited modeling capabilities for long-range dependencies, making it challenging to exploit the semantic information within images fully. On the other hand, the quadratic computational complexity poses a challenge for Transformers. Recently, State Space Models (SSMs), such as Mamba, have been recognized as a promising method.

High fidelity optical readout of a nuclear spin qubit in Silicon Carbide
Quantum state readout is a key requirement for a successful qubit platform. In this work we demonstrate a high fidelity quantum state readout of a V2 center nuclear spin based on a repetitive readout technique. We demonstrate up to 99.5$\,\%$ readout fidelity and 99$\,\%$ for state preparation. Using this efficient readout we initialise the nuclear spin by measurement and demonstrate its Rabi and Ramsey nutation. Finally, we use the nuclear spin as a long lived memory for quantum sensing applic…

Global LHC constraints on electroweak-inos with SModelS v2.3
Electroweak-inos, superpartners of the electroweak gauge and Higgs bosons, play a special role in supersymmetric theories. Their intricate mixing into chargino and neutralino mass eigenstates leads to a rich phenomenology, which makes it difficult to derive generic limits from LHC data. In this paper, we present a global analysis of LHC constraints for promptly decaying electroweak-inos in the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model, exploiting the SModelS software package.

Octopus v2: On-device language model for super agent
Language models have shown effectiveness in a variety of software applications, particularly in tasks related to automatic workflow. These models possess the crucial ability to call functions, which is essential in creating AI agents. Despite the high performance of large-scale language models in cloud environments, they are often associated with concerns over privacy and cost. Current on-device models for function calling face issues with latency and accuracy. Our research presents a new metho…

pretty cool, v1.0 unit tests succeed with a v2.0 3/5 threshold configuration, and the best! very few changes/fixes were necessary: https://github.com/stef/pwdsphinx/commit/2863d6aa2e0dcf5f9849621d756446bf7ec2d205

[enh] all unit tests pass · stef/pwdsphinx@2863d6a

The impact of void-finding algorithms on galaxy classification
We explore how the definition of a void influences the conclusions drawn about the impact of the void environment on galactic properties using two void-finding algorithms in the Void Analysis Software Toolkit: V2, a Python implementation of ZOBOV, and VoidFinder, an algorithm which grows and merges spherical void regions. Using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7, we find that galaxies found in VoidFinder voids tend to be bluer, fainter, and have higher (specific) star formation rates t…

#Lindner vor fünf Jahren mal jemandem in anderem Kontext gegeben.)
Also: Es ist so: Typologisch gesehen ist das Deutsche eine V2-Sprache. Das bedeutet, dass vor dem finiten Verb eine Wortgruppe stehen kann, die von irgendwo aus dem restlichen Satz kommt. Ansonsten ist das Deutsche eine SOV-Sprache. Also nix SPO.
Das Ganze ist nicht so einfach, aber man kann es gut verstehen, wenn man das Deutsche mit dem Englischen vergleicht oder mit dem Dänischen. Wenn Sie Interesse haben, gern mal hier reingucken:

"#Quorum erfüllt
Eltviller Bürger stimmen für #Windkraft

Bürger von Eltville stimmen für Windkraft
Mehrere Anläufe, Windräder im Rheingau zu bauen, sind bislang am Widerstand der Bevölkerung gescheitert. In Eltville könnte sich das nun ändern. Die Bürger entschieden sich bei einer Wahl mehrheitlich für den Bau von Windrädern.

Getting closer and closer to the point where I'll start a git tree[1] with fixes and reverts for #Linux #kernel regressions in the latest stable series, as from here it seems quite a few of the known problems could quickly be solved by a revert or applying fixes already queued[2]/still under review[3].…

CEPC Technical Design Report -- Accelerator (v2)
The Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) is a large scientific project initiated and hosted by China, fostered through extensive collaboration with international partners. The complex comprises four accelerators: a 30 GeV Linac, a 1.1 GeV Damping Ring, a Booster capable of achieving energies up to 180 GeV, and a Collider operating at varying energy modes (Z, W, H, and ttbar). The Linac and Damping Ring are situated on the surface, while the Booster and Collider are housed in a 100 km circ…

Deep learning approach for identification of HII regions during reionization in 21-cm observations -- II. foreground contamination
The upcoming Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) will produce images of neutral hydrogen distribution during the epoch of reionization by observing the corresponding 21-cm signal. However, the 21-cm signal will be subject to instrumental limitations such as noise and galactic foreground contamination which pose a challenge for accurate detection. In this study, we present the SegU-Net v2 framework, an enhanced version of our convolutional neural network, built to identify neutral and ioni…

CT Liver Segmentation via PVT-based Encoding and Refined Decoding
Accurate liver segmentation from CT scans is essential for effective diagnosis and treatment planning. Computer-aided diagnosis systems promise to improve the precision of liver disease diagnosis, disease progression, and treatment planning. In response to the need, we propose a novel deep learning approach, \textit{\textbf{PVTFormer}}, that is built upon a pretrained pyramid vision transformer (PVT v2) combined with advanced residual upsampling and decoder block. By integrating a refined featu…
