Structural Separation and Semantic Incompatibility in the P vs. NP Problem: Computational Complexity Analysis with Construction Defining Functionality
The Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT) holds a central place in computational complexity theory as the first shown NP-complete problem. Due to this role, SAT is often used as the benchmark for polynomial-time reductions: if a problem can be reduced to SAT, it is at least as hard as SAT, and hence considered NP-complete. However, the CDF framework offers a structural inversion of this traditional view. Rather than treating SAT as merely a representative of NP-completeness, we investigate wheth…

Correlative 3D Mapping of Structure, Composition, and Valence State Dynamics in Battery Cathodes via Simultaneous ADF-EDS-EELS Tomography
Understanding degradation in battery cathodes and other functional materials requires simultaneous knowledge of structural, chemical, and electronic changes in three dimensions (3D). Here, we present a simultaneous ADF-EDS-EELS tomography method that enables 3D mapping of atomic structure, composition, valence states, and transition metal inhomogeneity within a single, low-dose STEM tilt series acquisition. Applied to LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 (NCM111) particles at different electrochemical cycling s…

Search for Distant Hypervelocity Star Candidates Using RR Lyrae Stars
Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) are stars with velocities exceeding their local escape velocities. Searching for HVSs and studying their origins can be an important way to study the properties of the Milky Way. In this paper, we utilize precise distances for RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) derived from the period-absolute magnitude-metallicity (PMZ) relation, along with proper motions from Gaia DR3, to conduct a large-volume search for HVSs. Our sample consists of a catalog with 8,172 RRLs with metallicity, d…

DiaCDM: Cognitive Diagnosis in Teacher-Student Dialogues using the Initiation-Response-Evaluation Framework
While cognitive diagnosis (CD) effectively assesses students' knowledge mastery from structured test data, applying it to real-world teacher-student dialogues presents two fundamental challenges. Traditional CD models lack a suitable framework for handling dynamic, unstructured dialogues, and it's difficult to accurately extract diagnostic semantics from lengthy dialogues. To overcome these hurdles, we propose DiaCDM, an innovative model. We've adapted the initiation-response-evaluation (IRE) f…

Brain Harmony: A Multimodal Foundation Model Unifying Morphology and Function into 1D Tokens
We present Brain Harmony (BrainHarmonix), the first multimodal brain foundation model that unifies structural morphology and functional dynamics into compact 1D token representations. The model was pretrained on two of the largest neuroimaging datasets to date, encompassing 64,594 T1-weighted structural MRI 3D volumes (~ 14 million images) and 70,933 functional MRI (fMRI) time series. BrainHarmonix is grounded in two foundational neuroscience principles: structure complements function - structu…

3D Structure of Jet-induced Diffusion Wake
Jet-induced diffusion wake in heavy-ion collisions has a unique 3D structure as manifested in the jet-hadron correlations in rapidity and azimuthal angle. The rapidity asymmetry observable in dijets provides a robust measurement of the diffusion wake because it essentially background-free.

"I Don't Think RAI Applies to My Model'' -- Engaging Non-champions with Sticky Stories for Responsible AI Work
Responsible AI (RAI) tools -- checklists, templates, and governance processes -- often engage RAI champions, individuals intrinsically motivated to advocate ethical practices, but fail to reach non-champions, who frequently dismiss them as bureaucratic tasks. To explore this gap, we shadowed meetings and interviewed data scientists at an organization, finding that practitioners perceived RAI as irrelevant to their work. Building on these insights and theoretical foundations, we derived design p…

One-loop analytic structure of the deep-infrared Landau-gauge gluon propagator at finite temperature
With the aim of looking for signatures of deconfinement, the poles and the spectral function of the Landau-gauge gluon propagator are investigated at one loop, vanishing spatial momentum and finite temperature within the framework of the screened massive expansion of pure Yang-Mills theory and of full QCD. When computed using both temperature-independent parameters optimized by principles of gauge invariance and temperature-dependent parameters obtained by fitting lattice data at zero Matsubara…

(Upon review I was pretty remiss in skipping over a few of these people, some of whom I wasn't aware of but most of whom I just didn't remember when writing my short list. Subconscious misogyny in action. Short & Thorson probably would have squeezed out some of the YA authors I included, although I have no real regrets.)

P.S. upon consideration I've decided not to include any authors who are men in this coda.
There are definitely others who probably deserve to be here that I'm forgetting...

FAST search for circumstellar atomic hydrogen. IV. bubbles associated with planetary nebulae
Investigating the bubbles generated by the interaction between asymptotic giant branch stellar outflows and the interstellar medium (ISM) is pivotal for elucidating the mechanism by which evolved low- to intermediate-mass stars enrich the ISM with heavy elements. Using archival datasets from the Galactic Plane Pulsar Snapshot survey and the Galactic Arecibo L-Band Array \ion{H}{1} survey, we have identified 14 bubbles within interstellar atomic hydrogen (\ion{H}{1}) maps, each showing evidence …
