Abstract Standard thermodynamics assumes gas-to-liquid phase change occurs exclusively at the dew point (𝑇𝑑𝑒𝑤). This paper presents a theoretical framework demonstrating that suspended humidity often persists due to a Kinetic Mixing Barrier (𝜆) and Hydrodynamic Suspension (Ψ). We derive a unified equation showing that…

Solution blow spinning (SBS) enables the production of polymeric fibrous mats whose morphology is strongly influenced by processing conditions. This study evaluates whether commonly used fibre morphology descriptors retain consistent predictability across different SBS morphological regimes and whether their predictiv…

Wavefront shaping (WFS) is a powerful modern method to control light propagation through scattering media, with applications ranging from biomedical imaging via cryptography to free-space optical communication. While WFS has been highly successful in static or slowly evolving media, its practical relevance in dynamic…

We explore kinetic-constraint induced thermodynamic phase transition in the cubic lattice, employing the Fredrikson-Anderson spin model with hyperparameter $K=2$ as a representative kinetic system. Each lattice site may flip its binary occupation state if at most one of its six nearest neighbors is currently occupied.…

The electronic bandgap of solids is conventionally viewed as a static property at a given temperature, with only weak and stochastic thermal fluctuations under equilibrium conditions. Here, using ab initio molecular dynamics and first-principles electron-phonon calculations, we reveal a pronounced room-temperature ban…

One-dimensional Gaussian processes with stationary, integrable kernel functions admit exact or arbitrarily accurate state-space representations, enabling linear-time inference through Kalman filtering and Rauch-Tung-Striebel (RTS) smoothing. However, the RTS smoother requires inversion of predicted state covariance ma…

Let Phi be an irreducible reduced crystallographic root system of rank r, and let N be the number of positive coroots. A previous theorem (arXiv:2608.16363, Theorem 3.3) identifies the first pole below 2/h as q_2 = (r-1)/(N-1) and expresses its residue as a sum of periods attached to the simple walls of the dominant c…

Microplastic contamination in irrigation systems threatens soil quality and crop productivity. This study evaluates the potential of FERRO-PLANT, a ferro-magnetic trap integrated with IoT sensors, as a preventive mitigation approach. A qualitative literature review was conducted using secondary data from recent scient…

The photoluminescence and polarized photoluminescence spectra of Alq3 thin films, deposited perpendicularly and at an acute angle to the vapor flow, were studied. During deposition at an acute angle, an anisotropic film layer is formed, with structural inhomogeneities oriented perpendicular to the direction of slope.…

GPT-style models achieve strong performance by representing language with finite vocabularies of reusable discrete tokens. This success has motivated symbolic music tokenizations to treat recurring musical structures, such as chords, motifs, and phrases, as reusable units analogous to linguistic tokens. However, token…

ABSTRACT Hard carbon is the most practical anode for sodium‐ion batteries, yet its deployment is hindered by an unstable, non‐uniform solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) that causes irreversible Na loss, high interfacial resistance, and capacity fading. This review discusses SEI formation as a dynamic coupling between…

We study the dissipative dynamics of a Majorana tetron qubit in the presence of extrinsic quasiparticle poisoning due to the coupling to external leads. From the Bloch-Redfield equation describing a finite-size topological superconductor hosting four Majorana zero modes, we recover analytical expressions for the stead…

Large language models can generate executable programs, which makes it possible to search directly over procedural content generators rather than individual levels. We study this approach in Sokoban, Zelda, Dangerous Dave, and Lode Runner. Each run evolves complete Python generators through language-model mutation and…

Abstract: We investigate whether fundamental fermionic properties — existence, chirality, and a Dirac-mass-like term — can emerge from the topology of the excitation spectrum of a single quantum substrate, following G. Volovik's bottom-up construction method: starting from a real, verifiable microscopic Hamiltonian an…

Finding a low-rank approximation for the two-electron integral (ERI) tensor is a crucial step towards reducing the computational cost of many-body electronic structure methods. In recent years, a range of new tensor factorization techniques, like the so-called tensor-hypercontraction (THC) approach, have been develope…

Sewing was once a valued domestic art, but in the wake of the ready-to-wear and fast-fashion industries, its cultural and economic significance has dwindled. This thesis explores the height of the sewing pattern industry in the early- to mid-20th century through a case study of the Simplicity Pattern Company. Simplici…

We use the density of surface-grafted polymers as a geometry-preserving control parameter for tuning the rheology of colloidal depletion gels. Reducing brush density accelerates gelation and produces gels with higher plateau storage modulus and yield stress. This mechanical enhancement is not accompanied by increased…

Erbium ions (Er$^{3+}$) in cerium dioxide (CeO$_2$) represent a promising spin-photon interface for quantum communication, but the mechanisms limiting their optical coherence remain poorly understood. Using periodic hybrid density functional theory calculations with finite-size corrections, we identify Ce$^{3+}$ polar…
