Resource Allocation for Pinching-Antenna Systems: State-of-the-Art, Key Techniques and Open Issues
Pinching antennas have emerged as a promising technology for reconfiguring wireless propagation environments, particularly in high-frequency communication systems operating in the millimeter-wave and terahertz bands. By enabling dynamic activation at arbitrary positions along a dielectric waveguide, pinching antennas offer unprecedented channel reconfigurability and the ability to provide line-of-sight (LoS) links in scenarios with severe LoS blockages. The performance of pinching-antenna syste…

History shows that once a vanguard of rogues and lawless individuals gets a hold on government, it is difficult to eject them.
Rather, the changes in government applied with force by this vanguard become normalized.
And that is what is happening here.

A lawless vanguard infiltrated the U.S. government; now they are being institutionalized and will work with Project 2025's own democracy destroyers

I remember using Opera Mini, even on an iPhone. Had a lousy data plan where they would throttle it massively at some point. Opera mini was the way I could continue surfing the web without all those megabytes of cruft (even back theb) https://mstdn.social/@osnews/114598061141994857

Quantum Search for Gravitational Wave of Massive Black Hole Binaries
Matched filtering is a common method for detecting gravitational waves. However, the computational costs of searching large template banks limit the efficiency of classical algorithms when searching for massive black hole binary (MBHB) systems. In this work, a quantum matched filtering algorithm based on Grover's algorithm is applied to the MBHB signals. It is demonstrated that the quantum approach can reduce the computational complexity from $O(N)$ to $O(\sqrt{N})$ theoretically, where $N$ is …

Towards a unified user modeling language for engineering human centered AI systems
In today's digital society, personalization has become a crucial aspect of software applications, significantly impacting user experience and engagement. A new wave of intelligent user interfaces, such as AI-based conversational agents, has the potential to enable such personalization beyond what other types of interfaces could offer in the past. Personalization requires the ability to specify a complete user profile, covering as many dimensions as possible, such as potential accessibility cons…

Magnon spectroscopy in the electron microscope
The miniaturisation of transistors is approaching its limits due to challenges in heat management and information transfer speed. To overcome these obstacles, emerging technologies such as spintronics are being developed, which leverage the electron's spin in addition to its charge. Local phenomena at interfaces or structural defects will greatly influence the efficiency of spin-based devices, making the ability to study and control spin wave propagation at the nano- and atomic scales a key cha…
