Pushing the Frontiers for Floating Solar Photovoltaics -- The Case for South America

This study proposes a techno-socio-economic framework demonstrating that Floating Solar Photovoltaic (FSPV) systems in South America offer a land-efficient, cost-competitive solution for energy access and water security, with significant potential for co-location with hydropower and AI data centers in countries like Nicaragua, Honduras, and Guyana.

The first hours and days of the 2021 explosion of the recurrent symbiotic nova RS Ophiuchii

This paper analyzes the early evolution of the 2021 RS Ophiuchi nova explosion by modeling its spectral energy distribution, revealing a bipolar ejecta structure shaped by the white dwarf's rotation that facilitates internal shocks responsible for both reprocessed radiation and gamma-ray emission.

A mathematical framework for centromere-aware evaluation of human genome assemblies

This paper introduces a novel, distribution-based mathematical framework that evaluates human genome assembly accuracy in repetitive centromeric regions by comparing inter-motif distances via KL divergence, offering a robust alternative to traditional sequence alignment methods.

Critical Coupling Surfaces in κ(R,T)\kappa(R,T) Gravity: Regularity, Gravitational Screening, and Phase Transitions

This paper demonstrates that the apparent singularities in κ(R,T)\kappa(R,T) gravity at critical coupling surfaces where κ(R,T)=0\kappa(R,T)=0 are merely artifacts of the equation's formulation, revealing instead regular fundamental equations that define gravitational screening boundaries separating attractive and repulsive phases while obstructing a global Einstein-frame description.

Self-Pulsing Microring Resonator Networks for Bandwidth-Efficient Event Detection in an Optical Fiber Sensor

This paper experimentally demonstrates that self-pulsing dynamics in microring resonator networks can effectively process slow time-dependent signals from optical fiber sensors, thereby expanding signal retention and reducing the required digitization sampling rate by at least one order of magnitude.

Bound State Solutions of the Relativistic Finite-difference Equation for the Ring-shaped Quesne Oscillator Potential

This paper presents an exact solution to the relativistic finite-difference equation for the three-dimensional ring-shaped Quesne oscillator potential, deriving discrete energy spectra and wavefunctions expressed via continuous dual Hahn and Jacobi polynomials while establishing an SU(1,1) dynamical symmetry group for an algebraic determination of the spectrum.

From the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) to the (Deterministic) Kalman Filter in Two Easy Steps

This paper presents a two-step tutorial demonstrating how to derive the deterministic Kalman filter from the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) by first converting the state estimation problem into a purely quadratic LQR formulation using homogeneous coordinates, and then partitioning the resulting solution to recover the traditional Kalman filter dynamics and Riccati equation.
