Deep Learning-Enhanced for Amine Emission Monitoring and Performance Analysis in Industrial Carbon Capture Plants
We present data driven deep learning models for forecasting and monitoring amine emissions and key performance parameters in amine-based post-combustion carbon capture systems. Using operational data from the CESAR1 solvent campaign at Technology Center Mongstad, four DL architectures such as Basic Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Stacked LSTM, Bi-directional LSTM, and Convolutional LSTM were developed to capture time-dependent process behavior. For emission prediction, models were designed for 2…

New Constructions of Cubature Formulas on Wiener Space
Building on techniques developed by Lyons and Victoir, we present the first explicit construction of a degree-7 cubature formula for Wiener space over $\mathbb{R}^3$. We then examine and compare two approaches for computing cubature approximations: one based on the stochastic Taylor expansion and the other on the Log-ODE method. Our numerical experiments illustrate how the cubature degree influences the order of convergence and demonstrate the utility of cubature methods for weak approximations…

Argentine President Javier Milei suffered a sweeping setback on Sunday in a Buenos Aires provincial election widely viewed as a political test for his libertarian party and a barometer for how it will perform in crucial congressional midterms next month.
Milei’s recently formed La Libertad Avanza party captured just 34% of the vote in Argentina’s biggest province,
losing by a landslide to the left-leaning Peronist opposition, which secured 47% with the majority of ballots counted …

Milei's party crushed in Argentine local elections
The party of Argentina’s libertarian President Javier Milei has suffered a sweeping setback in the Buenos Aires provincial election that is viewed as a barometer of the party's performance in congressional midterms next month. Milei’s recently formed La Libertad Avanza party captured just 34% of the vote in Argentina’s biggest province while the left-leaning Peronist opposition secured 47%, with the majority of ballots counted late Sunday. With Milei’s close associates embroiled by a gr…

Life after death: How earthworms keep facilitating carbon capture
Earthworms don't stop shaping soil processes when they die. A new study shows they can still help store carbon in the soil, even after death. "This is quite surprising," says lead author Tullia Calogiuri. "Most of our knowledge about earthworms comes from their activity while alive, such as burrowing, feeding, and producing feces. Finding that they also play a role after death is exciting."

Evidence of Cognitive Biases in Capture-the-Flag Cybersecurity Competitions
Understanding how cognitive biases influence adversarial decision-making is essential for developing effective cyber defenses. Capture-the-Flag (CTF) competitions provide an ecologically valid testbed to study attacker behavior at scale, simulating real-world intrusion scenarios under pressure. We analyze over 500,000 submission logs from picoCTF, a large educational CTF platform, to identify behavioral signatures of cognitive biases with defensive implications. Focusing on availability bias an…

Learning to Capture Rocks using an Excavator: A Reinforcement Learning Approach with Guiding Reward Formulation
Rock capturing with standard excavator buckets is a challenging task typically requiring the expertise of skilled operators. Unlike soil digging, it involves manipulating large, irregular rocks in unstructured environments where complex contact interactions with granular material make model-based control impractical. Existing autonomous excavation methods focus mainly on continuous media or rely on specialized grippers, limiting their applicability to real-world construction sites. This paper i…

Capturing an Invisible Robber using Separators
We study the zero-visibility cops and robbers game, where the robber is invisible to the cops until they are caught. This differs from the classic game where full information about the robber's location is known at any time. A previously known solution for capturing a robber in the zero-visibility case is based on the pathwidth decomposition. We provide an alternative solution based on a separation hierarchy, improving capture time and space complexity without asymptotically increasing the zero…

Smartphone-based iris recognition through high-quality visible-spectrum iris image capture.V2
Smartphone-based iris recognition in the visible spectrum (VIS) remains difficult due to illumination variability, pigmentation differences, and the absence of standardized capture controls. This work presents a compact end-to-end pipeline that enforces ISO/IEC 29794-6 quality compliance at acquisition and demonstrates that accurate VIS iris recognition is feasible on commodity devices. Using a custom Android application performing real-time framing, sharpness evaluation, and feedback, we intro…
