Tracking Feral Horses in Aerial Video Using Oriented Bounding Boxes
The social structures of group-living animals such as feral horses are diverse and remain insufficiently understood, even within a single species. To investigate group dynamics, aerial videos are o...

Mutation Rate Variation Across Genomic Regions in \textit{Arabidopsis thaliana}
In population genetics, mutation rate is often treated as a homogeneous parameter across the genome. Empirical evidence, however, shows systematic variation across genomic contexts associated with ...

Passive Phase-Oriented Impedance Shaping for Rapid Acceleration in Soft Robotic Swimmers
Rapid acceleration and burst maneuvers in underwater robots depend less on maintaining precise resonance and more on force--velocity phase alignment during thrust generation. In this work, we inves...

Test-Time Meta-Adaptation with Self-Synthesis
As strong general reasoners, large language models (LLMs) encounter diverse domains and tasks, where the ability to adapt and self-improve at test time is valuable. We introduce MASS, a meta-learni...

Most open clusters follow the radial acceleration relation (RAR) and the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation (BTFR)
We test whether parsec-scale stellar systems in the Milky Way follow the galactic radial acceleration relation (RAR) or the baryonic TullyFisher relation (BTFR). We analyse 5646 Gaia DR3 open clust...

Baseline Performance of AI Tools in Classifying Cognitive Demand of Mathematical Tasks
Teachers face increasing demands on their time, particularly in adapting mathematics curricula to meet individual student needs while maintaining cognitive rigor. This study evaluates whether AI to...

FusionCut: Boundary Representation (B-Rep) Based and Cloud-Ready Cutter Workpiece Engagement (CWE) for Virtual Machining
Cutter-workpiece engagement (CWE) is the instantaneous contact geometry between the cutter and the in-process workpiece, playing a fundamental role in machining process simulation and directly affe...

Biased Generalization in Diffusion Models
Generalization in generative modeling is defined as the ability to learn an underlying distribution from a finite dataset and produce novel samples, with evaluation largely driven by held-out perfo...

The Integration Host Factor is a pH-responsive protein that switches from DNA bending to DNA bridging in acidic biofilm-like conditions
The Integration Host Factor (IHF) is a nucleoid-associated protein critical for both DNA compaction and biofilm stability. While its role in DNA packaging within the cell is well understood, its st...
