Author-Reviewed Papers

For every paper on this page, at least one of the original authors has seen our plain-language explanation and engaged with it — either confirming it reads accurately or requesting corrections that we then applied. An endorsement does not mean the authors formally approve every sentence, but it does mean the explanation has passed the eyes of the people who wrote the paper.

A 3D Summation-by-Parts scheme on a Hyperboloidal Foliation of Minkowski

This paper presents a stable, fully 3D Summation-by-Parts scheme for linear wave equations on hyperboloidal foliations of Minkowski spacetime. It effectively addresses the coordinate singularities associated with curvilinear coordinates and infinity through compactification. Additionally, it generalizes the definition of Kreiss-Oliger dissipation to curvilinear coordinates on general spatial manifolds, demonstrating promising results for future applications to nonlinear systems, such as the Einstein Field Equations.

Plasticity as Directional Stationarity: Yielding, Flow, and Hardening from One Functional

This paper unifies the fundamental components of plasticity theory—including yielding, flow, and hardening—into a single scalar functional framework based on directional stationarity over one-sided admissible paths, thereby deriving elastic inequalities, loading-unloading conditions, and both associated and non-associated flow rules while accommodating various hardening mechanisms and rate-dependent evolution.

A flexible and robust approach to univariate Gaussian splitting using parameterized Gaussian mixtures

This paper presents a robust and straightforward algorithm that approximates a univariate Gaussian distribution with a mixture of smaller-variance homoscedastic Gaussians by minimizing the squared Euclidean norm, while also discussing its extension to non-Gaussian distributions.

A Prior-Regularized Framework for Knowledge-Guided Differentiable Causal Discovery

This paper proposes a universal prior-regularized framework that integrates curated biological knowledge into differentiable causal discovery algorithms, significantly improving graph recovery accuracy in high-dimensional, small-sample transcriptomic data by leveraging existing domain priors to stabilize learning where baseline methods struggle.

Praxist: From Experimental Artifacts to Solution Lineages

Praxist is a lineage-centered generational system that transforms autonomous R&D from isolated experiments into a traceable evidence graph, enabling agents to inherit validated mechanisms and achieve superior performance on complex engineering tasks at roughly one-twelfth the cost of existing baselines.

Computational Prioritization of BARD1 Missense Variants of Uncertain Significance Using Integrated REVEL, CADD, and AlphaMissense Predictions with gnomAD Population Frequency Stratification

This study integrates REVEL, CADD, and AlphaMissense predictions with gnomAD frequency data to identify 170 high-priority BARD1 missense variants of uncertain significance, predominantly located in the ANK and BRCT domains, as prime candidates for functional validation and clinical reclassification.

Community Knowledge, Canine Seroprevalence, and the Vaccination Paradox: A One Health Assessment of Rabies in Rural and Urban Kenya

Despite high community awareness of rabies in Kenya, this One Health study reveals a critical "vaccination paradox" where administrative coverage significantly overestimates actual biological protection, as only 26.4% of sampled dogs achieved protective antibody levels, necessitating a shift from counting vaccine doses to verifying immunity through improved surveillance and cold-chain management to meet the 2030 elimination target.

Tunable Magnetic Frustration in the Cu-Ru-based Double Perovskite La $_{2-x}$ Sm $_x$ CuRuO $_6$ (x = 0, 1, 2) Oxides

This study demonstrates that substituting La with smaller Sm ions in double perovskite La $_{2-x}$ Sm $_x$ CuRuO $_6$ induces structural distortion and Sm magnetism, which collectively suppress magnetic frustration and tune the magnetic properties of these insulating oxides.

Constraining the Inner Dark-Matter Slope of Sculptor: A Comparative Analysis of Dynamical Methods

This study applies four dynamical methods to the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy, finding a shallow inner dark-matter slope (Γ = 2.49, γ ≈ 0.5) alongside a central density at 150 pc that is consistent with a cusp, and showing through controlled mocks that most of the bias in split-based methods comes from tracer geometry rather than the population decomposition itself.

A Case for Competition in Information Provision

This paper demonstrates that while competition between biased news sources can discipline incumbents and improve receivers' decision-making under specific conditions, it does not necessarily lead to higher total social welfare, as distorted advice from a monopolist may sometimes be more beneficial than the imperfect information provided in a competitive market.
