To ensure fairness at runtime, it is necessary to account for past decisions, information neglected by conventional, static classifiers. Traditional fairness shields enforce runtime fairness abruptly, by intervening deterministically whenever a sequence of decisions violates the target for a running fairness measure. This motivates our main conceptual contribution: energy shields. An energy shield is a novel, lightweight, adaptive controller that monitors a sequence of decisions and intervenes probabilistically to ensure runtime fairness smoothly, by utilizing physics-inspired energy functions to nudge the sequence toward fairness: the more unfair the decisions, the stronger the nudging force becomes. This makes energy shields the first fairness shields to provide both short-term safety and long-term liveness guarantees. Safety ensures that the running fairness measure stays within a running target interval with high probability, and liveness ensures that the limit of the fairness measure lies within the limit target interval. Intuitively, the short-term specifies the tolerated fairness values and the long-term specifies the desired fairness values. We also provide a synthesis procedure for constructing the least intrusive energy shield for a given target specification, and demonstrate its efficiency experimentally. We evaluate our energy shields against existing fairness shields through the lens of short- and long-term fairness.","lang":"eng"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","status":"public","date_published":"2026-07-01T00:00:00Z","article_processing_charge":"Yes","arxiv":1,"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"OA_type":"gold","researchdata_availability":"no","date_created":"2026-07-14T05:32:45Z","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","month":"07","quality_controlled":"1","corr_author":"1","day":"01","_id":"22321","type":"conference","oa":1},{"PlanS_conform":"1","quality_controlled":"1","_id":"21995","day":"04","type":"journal_article","DOAJ_listed":"1","oa":1,"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"dataavailabilitystatement":"Daily rainfall data across Nepal were obtained from the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, Kathmandu, Nepal (https://dhm.gov.np/).

This study examined the multiscale processes contributing to this extreme precipitation event, focusing on intraseasonal oscillations, synoptic-scale circulations, and mesoscale cloud/precipitation systems. A quasi-biweekly intraseasonal oscillation dominated over South Asia during the event, featuring a monsoon low-pressure system over the Indian Peninsula and an anticyclone to its east, both propagating westward. The pressure gradient between them sustained strong southerly moisture transport toward the Himalayas, establishing a persistently humid environment and orographic lift along the southern slopes. In contrast to reports of previous extreme precipitation events in Nepal, the atmospheric circulation responsible for the 2024 event was primarily of tropical origin, with minimal influence from the midlatitudes. Characteristic mesoscale cloud/precipitation systems also developed around the Himalayas. The highest daily precipitation during the event was recorded on 27 September; stratiform systems with relatively modest storm top heights developed over the southern slopes, generating surface precipitation rates of > 100 mm h− 1 through warm-rain processes. Rain gauges across the glacierized basin (3500–5000 m asl) recorded exceptionally high daily and hourly precipitation rates, highlighting the extension of intense rainfall to unusually high elevations.","lang":"eng"}],"supplementarymaterial":"yes","publication_status":"published","article_processing_charge":"Yes","article_number":"27","article_type":"original","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"title":"Multiscale aspects of an extreme precipitation event over Nepal in September 2024","publication":"Scientific Online Letters on the Atmosphere","author":[{"last_name":"Fujinami","full_name":"Fujinami, Hatsuki","first_name":"Hatsuki"},{"first_name":"Nobuhiro","full_name":"Takahashi, Nobuhiro","last_name":"Takahashi"},{"first_name":"Hironari","full_name":"Kanamori, Hironari","last_name":"Kanamori"},{"first_name":"Yota","full_name":"Sato, Yota","id":"daa9e17a-f2c2-11ef-b968-915e836dea45","last_name":"Sato"},{"first_name":"Sojiro","full_name":"Sunako, Sojiro","last_name":"Sunako"},{"full_name":"Kato, Masaya","first_name":"Masaya","last_name":"Kato"},{"last_name":"Higuchi","first_name":"Atsushi","full_name":"Higuchi, Atsushi"},{"first_name":"Indira","full_name":"Kadel, Indira","last_name":"Kadel"},{"last_name":"Shrestha","full_name":"Shrestha, Dibas","first_name":"Dibas"},{"last_name":"Kayastha","full_name":"Kayastha, Rijan B.","first_name":"Rijan B."},{"last_name":"Fujita","first_name":"Koji","full_name":"Fujita, Koji"}],"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s44393-026-00024-0","file":[{"file_size":13308662,"date_created":"2026-06-22T07:21:04Z","file_name":"2026_SOLA_Fujinami.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf","date_updated":"2026-06-22T07:21:04Z","creator":"dernst","file_id":"22109","relation":"main_file","checksum":"19a217b038756abf44bc49939a01e33c","success":1,"access_level":"open_access"}],"acknowledgement":"This work was supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) (KAKENHI Grants: 22H00176, 22H00033, 22H00037, and 23KK0064).

It considers how continuous manifolds relate to their discrete analogues, how topological structures evolve in persistence vineyards, and how tools from topological data analysis can illuminate problems in mathematical physics. Central to this exploration is the question of how structure, both geometric and topological, persists or changes under approximation, sampling, or deformation. The work develops new approaches to skeletal and grid-based representations of surfaces, reveals the full expressive capacity of persistence vineyards, and applies topological methods to the longstanding problem of equilibria in electrostatic fields. These threads braid together into a broader understanding of how topology and geometry inform one another across theory, computation, and application.","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"M-Shop"},{"_id":"ScienComp"}],"article_processing_charge":"No","oa_version":"Published Version","user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","date_created":"2026-01-20T21:38:40Z","month":"01","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"oa":1,"corr_author":"1","supervisor":[{"full_name":"Edelsbrunner, Herbert","orcid":"0000-0002-9823-6833","first_name":"Herbert","id":"3FB178DA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Edelsbrunner"},{"last_name":"Wagner","id":"36690CA2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Wagner, Uli","orcid":"0000-0002-1494-0568","first_name":"Uli"}],"day":"21","_id":"21021","type":"dissertation"},{"oa_version":"Preprint","article_processing_charge":"No","date_published":"2026-05-01T00:00:00Z","publication_status":"published","status":"public","abstract":[{"text":"In 1873, James C.

In this article, we give the best upper bound known to date on the number of zeroes of the electric field, and construct a counterexample to Conjecture 1.8 by Gabrielov, Novikov, and Shapiro that the number of equilibria cannot exceed those of the distance function defined by the unit point charges. Finally, we note that it is quite possible that Maxwell's quadratic upper bound is not tight, so it is prudent to find lower bounds. Hence, we also explore examples and construct configurations of charges achieving the highest ratios of the number of electric field zeroes by point charges found to this day.","lang":"eng"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_type":"original","article_number":"e70163","type":"journal_article","_id":"21931","day":"01","corr_author":"1","quality_controlled":"1","oa":1,"OA_type":"green","arxiv":1,"intvolume":"       132","month":"05","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2501.05315"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","date_created":"2026-05-31T22:02:13Z","external_id":{"arxiv":["2501.05315"]},"doi":"10.1112/plms.70163","date_updated":"2026-07-22T06:33:54Z","scopus_import":"1","OA_place":"repository","year":"2026","citation":{"short":"H.

However, existing datasets focus mainly on mainstream social media platforms whose structures are shaped notably by algorithmic recommendations. This raises an important question: would alternative, decentralized social networks exhibit different properties? We address this by studying the Fediverse; a collection of decentralized social networks (such as Mastodon and Lemmy). These platforms differ fundamentally from for-profit social media, notably in decentralization and absence of recommendation algorithms, which may yield distinct graph structures. We introduce Fedivertex, a dataset of over 400 graphs from seven decentralized networks, collected weekly over six months. The dataset, released with a companion Python package to facilitate its use, supports research on temporal and structural aspects of decentralized social networks. In particular, we benchmark applications to decentralized machine learning and community detection.","lang":"eng"}],"date_updated":"2026-07-22T07:38:14Z","doi":"10.1145/3774904.3792868","oa_version":"None","scopus_import":"1","citation":{"ama":"Damie M, Cyffers EAL.

However, it suffers from poor cycle life associated with the rock-salt phase transformation. This study presents a straightforward synthesis approach to enhance the electrochemical performance of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 through a synergistic solid-state modification with LiF and AlF3. This dual modification promotes rapid Li⁺ diffusion, enables near-complete delithiation/lithiation, approaching the theoretical capacity of disordered LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4, and, more importantly, effectively mitigates the formation of the rock-salt phase, thereby enhancing structural stability, as confirmed by operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and synchrotron X-ray diffraction (SXRD). As a result, the optimized LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (10 mg AlF3 + 30 mg LiF) delivers high reversible capacities of 142.1, 139.1, 129.2, 121.6, 110.3, 93.5, and 76.1 mAh∙g−1 at 0.2C, 0.5C, 1.0C, 2.0C, 3.0C, 4.0C, and 5.0C, respectively.

Disequilibration by sensitization of azobenzene under confinement (DESC) has recently emerged as a supramolecular strategy to bypass this limitation without the need to derivatize the azobenzene scaffold. Here, we expand DESC to water-soluble azopolymers obtained by RAFT polymerization and systematically investigate the interplay between the polymer structure and DESC efficiency. Using this approach, we achieved as much as 85% of the direct photoexcitation (UV) switching efficiency, while utilizing low-energy (yellow) light. These results establish general design principles for combining DESC with polymeric systems, opening new opportunities for the development of functional materials driven with low-energy light."}],"publication_status":"published","has_accepted_license":"1","status":"public","oa_version":"Published Version","intvolume":"        65","month":"02","researchdata_availability":"no","date_created":"2026-01-04T23:01:35Z","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","OA_type":"hybrid","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"dataavailabilitystatement":"The data that support the findings of this study are available in the Supporting Information of this article.","oa":1,"_id":"20933","type":"journal_article","day":"09","PlanS_conform":"1","quality_controlled":"1","year":"2026","citation":{"apa":"Meteling, H.

Herein, we report a ligand-free aqueous synthesis of Te-doped CuAgSe (CuAgSe1-xTex), where structural and electronic modulation improve carrier transport and suppress phonon propagation. Ex-situ time-resolved X-ray diffraction reveals a spontaneous growth mechanism, while density functional theory calculations show that Te-5s and 5p orbitals hybridization generates localized states and an asymmetric density of states, thereby enhancing the Seebeck coefficient. Electron microscopy and strain analyses confirm that Te-doping introduces a high density of lattice dislocations and grain boundaries, leading to a reduced lattice thermal conductivity of 0.11 W m−1K−1 at 443 K. These synergistic effects translate into device-level performance—the first integrated CuAgSe thermoelectric modules, exhibit a maximum cooling temperature difference of 27.3 K, and power density of 0.34 W cm−2 with a conversion efficiency of 3.6% at a modest temperature gradient of 136 K. These results demonstrate that CuAgSe1-xTex enables efficient energy harvesting and localized cooling under small temperature gradient, underscoring the importance of structural and electronic design beyond conventional zT benchmarks.","lang":"eng"}]},{"doi":"10.1145/3769423","date_updated":"2026-07-23T10:07:17Z","scopus_import":"1","OA_place":"publisher","department":[{"_id":"KrPi"}],"citation":{"short":"R.

Unfortunately, the BFT consensus algorithms that are the backbone of most of these blockchains scale poorly and offer limited throughput. In fact, many state-of-the-art BFT consensus algorithms require a single leader process to receive and validate votes from a quorum of processes and then broadcast the result, which is inherently non-scalable. Recent approaches avoid this bottleneck by using dissemination/aggregation trees to propagate values and collect and validate votes. However, the use of trees increases the round latency, which limits the throughput for deeper trees. In this paper we propose Kauri, a BFT communication abstraction that sustains high throughput as the system size grows by leveraging a novel pipelining technique to perform scalable dissemination and aggregation on trees. Furthermore, when the number of faults is moderate (arguably the most common case in practice), our construction is able to recover from faults in an optimal number of reconfiguration steps. We implemented and experimentally evaluated Kauri with up to 800 processes. Our results show that Kauri outperforms the throughput of state-of-the-art permissioned blockchain protocols, by up to 58x without compromising latency. Interestingly, in some cases, the parallelization provided by Kauri can also decrease the latency.","lang":"eng"}],"date_published":"2026-05-01T00:00:00Z","article_type":"original","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_number":"12","day":"01","_id":"21017","type":"journal_article","corr_author":"1","quality_controlled":"1","PlanS_conform":"1","oa":1,"OA_type":"hybrid","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"month":"05","intvolume":"        44","date_created":"2026-01-20T10:14:23Z","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","researchdata_availability":"no","keyword":["Distributed systems","byzantine fault tolerance","blockchain","vote aggregation","pipelining"]},{"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_type":"original","date_published":"2026-04-01T00:00:00Z","supplementarymaterial":"yes","status":"public","abstract":[{"text":"The Birkhoff conjecture says that the boundary of a strictly convex integrable billiard table is necessarily an ellipse.

Yet, while indicating that reafference originates from the mechanoreceptors, the mechanistic underpinnings of the whisking phase encoding within the follicle remain unclear. Here we present anatomical, histological, and biomechanical evidence for the presence of a distinctive elastic segment (ES) within the basal part of the whisker shaft inside the follicle. This ES, composed of immature keratin, is capable of both bending and twisting. Forces generated by whisker movement deform this segment, causing whisker shaft deflections that can stimulate specific mechanoreceptor subsets within the follicle at different phases of the whisking cycle. This mechanism appears to operate during both free‐air whisking and object contact. We propose that the ES enables torsion‐based mechanoreceptor activation, allowing encoding of the whisking phase.","lang":"eng"}],"supplementarymaterial":"no","date_published":"2026-07-01T00:00:00Z","article_processing_charge":"No","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"OA_type":"hybrid","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","date_created":"2026-02-17T07:44:23Z","researchdata_availability":"no","month":"07","intvolume":"       309","quality_controlled":"1","type":"journal_article","_id":"21264","day":"01","oa":1},{"researchdata_availability":"no","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","date_created":"2025-07-27T22:01:25Z","keyword":["Divisibility sequences","Abelian varieties","Elliptic divisibility sequences","Isogenies","Primitive divisors"],"month":"02","intvolume":"       279","arxiv":1,"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"dataavailabilitystatement":"No data was used for the research described in the article.","OA_type":"hybrid","oa":1,"PlanS_conform":"1","corr_author":"1","quality_controlled":"1","_id":"20078","type":"journal_article","day":"01","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_type":"original","abstract":[{"text":"Let A be an abelian variety defined over a number field K, E/K be an elliptic curve, and ϕ : A → Em be an isogeny defined over K.

In this study, FeCoNiMoW HEAs are synthesized into either amorphous nanosheets (HEANS) or crystalline nanoparticles (HEANP), which are then used to catalyze the lithium–sulfur (Li–S) reaction of Li–S batteries (LSBs). Evaluations in symmetric cells, coin cells, and pouch cells reveal that HEANS significantly enhance LSB performance, achieving initial discharge capacities up to 1632 mAh g−1. The batteries also exhibit excellent cycling stability over 1000 cycles at 3Cand maintain high-rate performance up to 10C with a capacity of 614 mAh g−1. Comprehensive in situ analyses and density functional theory calculations demonstrate that amorphous HEANS provide more active sites, better ionic conductivity and stronger chemical interactions with lithium polysulfides (LiPS). These properties effectively suppress the shuttle effect, promote the complete S8 → Li2S conversion by reducing the impedance of the solid-electrolyte interphase, and accelerate the Li2S4 → Li2S2 step by lowering the nucleation energy barrier. Overall, this study highlights the superior catalytic properties of amorphous 2D HEAs in LSBs and offers new insights into the mechanisms of LiPS conversion.","lang":"eng"}],"supplementarymaterial":"no","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_type":"original","article_number":"e13859","day":"15","_id":"20191","type":"journal_article","quality_controlled":"1","oa":1,"OA_type":"hybrid","tmp":{"short":"CC BY-NC-ND (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by_nc_nd.png"},"dataavailabilitystatement":"The data that support the findings of this study are available from the cor-responding authors upon reasonable request.","intvolume":"        36","month":"01","keyword":["amorphous","high entropy alloy","in situ electrochemical impedance spec-troscopy","in situ Raman","Li–S batteries"],"date_created":"2025-08-17T22:01:37Z","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","researchdata_availability":"upon request"},{"isi":1,"acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"ScienComp"}],"article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","date_published":"2026-01-01T00:00:00Z","publication_status":"published","has_accepted_license":"1","status":"public","abstract":[{"text":"Moist convection is a fundamental process occurring in the Earth's atmosphere. It plays a central role in the weather and climate of the Tropics, where, to first order, the heating of the atmosphere by convection is in balance with the cooling of the atmosphere by the emission of radiation to outer space. In this study, we use a cloud-resolving model in radiative–convective equilibrium with an imposed constant rate of radiative cooling and study the response of moist convection to varying this rate of radiative cooling. In particular, we study two types of simulation: varying air temperature (VAT) simulations, where the air temperature is allowed to adjust to the imposed radiative cooling, and constant air temperature (CAT) simulations, where the surface temperature is tuned to ensure that the atmospheric temperature profile in the domain is constant. We recover the previously known result that, in response to increasing radiative cooling, the area of convection expands rapidly, while the intensity of convection does not change. We find that this response is explained by the increased boundary-layer variability in simulations with greater radiative cooling, which compensates for the decreasing temperature by adding a larger initial velocity close to the cloud base. We also propose a fundamental scaling of the non-dimensional cumulus mass flux in moist convection, which is robust across models of different complexity. We aim to bridge the gap between highly idealised prototypes of moist convection, such as the “Rainy–Bénard convection” introduced by Vallis et al., and comprehensive cloud-resolving models.","lang":"eng"}],"supplementarymaterial":"yes","oa_version":"Published Version","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_type":"original","article_number":"e70044","oa":1,"_id":"20590","type":"journal_article","day":"01","quality_controlled":"1","PlanS_conform":"1","corr_author":"1","intvolume":"       152","month":"01","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","date_created":"2025-11-02T23:01:34Z","researchdata_availability":"no","OA_type":"hybrid","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"dataavailabilitystatement":"The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author, L.
