The FCC-ee aims to improve on electroweak precision measurements, with goals of 100 keV on the Z mass and width, and a fraction of MeV on the W mass. Compared to LEP, this implies a much improved knowledge of the centre-of-mass energy when…
MetalWorking Fluids (MWFs) are widely used to cool and lubricate machines and tools. By far, the most common MWFs are oil-in-water emulsions with oil concentration (C oil) in the range from 1% to 10%, depending on type of oil, material to…
A measurement of the time-dependent ratio of the $D^0\rightarrow K^+\pi^-$ to $\overline{D}^0\rightarrow K^+\pi^-$ decay rates is reported. The analysis uses a sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of…
Ionization chambers are essential for activity determinations in radionuclide metrology. We have developed a high-precision integrating-differentiating (int-diff) system for measuring small currents. It is anticipated to enhance the…
In the past decade, cloud computing has emerged from a pursuit for a service-driven information and communication technology (ICT), into a signifcant fraction of the ICT market. Responding to the growth of the market, many alternative cloud…
The physical foundations of the dissipation of energy and the associated heating in weakly collisional plasmas are poorly understood. Here, we compare and contrast several measures that have been used to characterize energy dissipation and…
Data-centric distillation, including data augmentation, selection, and mixing, offers a promising path to creating smaller, more efficient student Large Language Models (LLMs) that retain strong reasoning abilities. However, there still…
Performance of the sensor-based camera identification (SCI) method heavily relies on the denoising filter in estimating Photo-Response Non-Uniformity (PRNU). Given various attempts on enhancing the quality of the extracted PRNU, it still…
Parametrizing energy functions for ionic systems can be challenging. Here, the total energy function for an eutectic system consisting of water, SCN$^-$, K$^+$ and acetamide is improved vis-a-vis experimentally measured properties. Given…
Conditional Mutual Information (CMI) is a measure of conditional dependence between random variables X and Y, given another random variable Z. It can be used to quantify conditional dependence among variables in many data-driven inference…
The development of medium-voltage direct current (MVDC) cable systems for wide-body all-electric aircraft (AEA) requires insulation technologies capable of operating reliably under reduced-pressure environments. Conventional underground…
As water shortages intensify globally under the stresses of increasing demand, aquifer depletion, and climate change, the market for efficient desalination technologies has grown rapidly to fill the void. One such developing technology,…
Battery degradation is a major challenge in electric vehicles (EV) and energy storage systems (ESS). However, most degradation investigations focus mainly on estimating the state of charge (SOC), which fails to accurately interpret the…
Separation of hydrocarbon isomers with closely matched physicochemical properties remains an energetically demanding challenge in the petrochemical refineries. This study presents a comparative analysis of three methods: the fractional…

The ability to understand how a scientific application is executed on a large HPC system is of great importance in allocating resources within the HPC data center. In this paper, we describe how we used system performance data to identify:…
The great majority of engineered products are subject to thermo-mechanical loads which vary with the product environment during the various phases of its life-cycle (machining, assembly, intended service use...). Those load variations may…
The high accuracy exhibited by biological information transcription processes is due to kinetic proofreading, i.e., by a mechanism which reduces the error rate of the information-handling process by driving it out of equilibrium. We provide…
Microfluidics offer remarkable flexibility for in-flow analyte characterization and can even measure the mechanical properties of biological cells through the application of hydrodynamic forces. In this work, we present a new approach to…
Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) has been recognized as a key enabler and feature of future wireless networks. In the existing works analyzing the performances of ISAC, discrete-time systems were commonly assumed, which, however,…
