Feb 2, 2026 · To put it simply, a Black Flash is nothing more than an enhanced physical hit. However, this isn't just a normal hit that's only slightly stronger. Instead, a Black Flash is a physical distortion...
It was recently shown (Keating & Prado, {\it Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A} {\bf 457}, 1855-1872 (2001)) that, in the semiclassical limit, the scarring of quantum eigenfunctions by classical periodic orbits in chaotic systems may be dramatically enhanced w...
Galaxy mergers are critical events that influence galaxy evolution by driving processes such as enhanced star formation, quenching, and active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity. However, constraining the timescales over which these processes occur in t...
This work presents Orient Anything V2, an enhanced foundation model for unified understanding of object 3D orientation and rotation from single or paired images. Building upon Orient Anything V1, which defines orientation via a single unique front fa...
The fifth generation (5G) of wireless networks must simultaneously support heterogeneous service categories, including Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC), enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), and massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC)...
Neural conversation models are known to generate appropriate but non-informative responses in general. A scenario where informativeness can be significantly enhanced is Conversing by Reading (CbR), where conversations take place with respect to a giv...
Recent advances in prompt optimization, exemplified by methods such as TextGrad, enable automatic, gradient-like refinement of textual prompts to enhance the performance of large language models (LLMs) on specific downstream tasks. However, current a...
in high biomass regions and improved vegetation monitoring through a de-coupling of the canopy background signal and a reduction in atmosphere influences
The dissertation proposes the use of a multi-objective optimization framework for designing and selecting among enhanced GOP configurations in video compression standards. The proposed methods achieve fine optimization over a set of general modes tha...
The Hamiltonian representation of magnetic field lines enables one to study their confinement properties in tokamaks through the use of symplectic maps such as the symmetric tokamap and its bounded version, the latter being introduced here. In this...
We have studied the effect of non-integer Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) on OAM enhanced beam shifts, for in-plane (Goos-Hanchen) and out-of-plane (Imbert-Fedorov) shifts, using Hermite-Laguerre-Gaussian beams. Contrary to naive expectation we find,...
Artificial intelligence methods have been increasingly turning into a potentially powerful tool in the diagnosis and management of diseases. In this study, we utilized logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), gradient boosted decision tree (GBDT...

Yahoo Weather provides up-to-the-minute weather conditions and hourly, daily, and weekly local forecasts. Our weather conditions include temperature, precipitation, wind, humidity, ultraviolet (UV), visibility, air quality, and pressure. We also provide local weather maps with ra…
Instead of testing solely a precise hypothesis, it is often useful to enlarge it with alternatives that are deemed to differ from it negligibly. For instance, in a bioequivalence study one might consider the hypothesis that the concentration of an in...
Millimeter wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) drones have the potential to enable several futuristic applications such as coverage extension, enhanced security monitoring, and disaster management. However, these drones need to deploy large antenna arr...
The use of delivery services is an increasing trend worldwide, further enhanced by the COVID pandemic. In this context, drone delivery systems are of great interest as they may allow for faster and cheaper deliveries. This paper presents a navigation...
Outcome prediction is crucial for head and neck cancer patients as it can provide prognostic information for early treatment planning. Radiomics methods have been widely used for outcome prediction from medical images. However, these methods are limi...
Achieving precise and controllable emotional expression is crucial for producing natural and context-appropriate speech in text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis. However, many emotion-aware TTS systems, including large language model (LLM)-based designs, re...
