Turner‚ Bird‚ Eratosthenes: the eternal burning thread by Gibbons, J

“…He observed that most programs are already structurally recursive or corecursive, therefore guaranteed respectively terminating or productive; he conjectured that “with more practice we will find this is always true”. We explore Bird’s circular Sieve of Eratosthenes as a challenge problem for Turner’s Total Functional Programming.…”

Can solar water kiosks generate sustainable revenue streams for rural water services? by Wagner, J, Merner, S, Innocenti, S, Geling, A, Hope, R

Unveiling the importance of longer paths in quantum networks by Hu, X, Dong, G, Lambiotte, R, Christensen, K, Fan, J, Tian, Z, Havlin, S, Meng, X

“…Here, we apply statistical physics to identify the origin of this stronger connectivity—known as concurrence percolation. Our finding is demonstrated on hierarchical scale-free networks, the (U,V) flowers, which allow full analytical control over path connectivity by adjusting the two distinct path length scales, U ≤ V. …”

Can large language model agents simulate human trust behaviors? by Xie, C, Chen, C, Jia, F, Ye, Z, Shu, K, Bibi, A, Hu, Z, Torr, P, Ghanem, B, Li, G

“…In this paper, we focus on one of the most critical behaviors in human interactions, trust, and aim to investigate whether or not LLM agents can simulate human trust behaviors. We first find that LLM agents generally exhibit trust behaviors, referred to as agent trust, under the framework of Trust Games, which are widely recognized in behavioral economics. …”

Optimal mobility and communication strategy to maximize the value of information in IoT networks by Wang, Z, Badiu, M-A, Coon, JP

“…We formulate this optimisation problem as a Markov decision process, and propose a reinforcement learning-based algorithm to find the VoIaware mobility and communication strategy efficiently. …”

Problems of the public good in higher education: building the common amid sovereign individualism, capital and the state by Marginson, S

“…Anglophone societies in which the sovereign individual is primary vis and vis social relations, and policy focuses on economic competition and consumption in education, find it hard to grasp non-pecuniary outcomes in higher education. …”

Quantifying the Evolutionary Dynamics of Structure and Content in Closely Related E. coli Genomes by Molari, M, Shaw, LP, Neher, RA

“…Within this diversity, we find 22 modifications to core genome synteny and estimate around 2,000 structural changes within the accessory genome, i.e. one structural change for every three core genome substitutions. …”

Forecasting green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) landing in Sarawak using grey model by Abang Mohammad Hudzaifah Abang Shakawi, Ani Shabri, Ruhana Hassan

“…The model also suggested that the current conditions will likely increase turtle landings. This approach will find useful applications in evaluating the conservation status of the species.…”

Enhancing X-ray generation from twisted multilayer van der Waals materials by shaping electron wavepackets by Wong, Wesley Lee Wei, Wong, Liang Jie

“…We also investigate the dependence of our X-ray emission mechanism on physical parameters, including the interlayer spacing and number of layers. Our findings pave the way for the use of twisted multilayer van der Waals materials in the generation of tailored X-ray spectra for applications like X-ray imaging, X-ray fluorescence, and X-ray treatment.…”

Ambipolar ferromagnetism by electrostatic doping of a manganite by Zheng, L. M., Lü, W. M., Li, C. J., Paudel, T. R., Liu, Z. Q., Huang, Z., Zeng, S. W., Han, Kun, Qiu, X. P., Li, M. S., Yang, Shize, Wang, Xiao Renshaw, Chen, Z. H, Yang, B., Chisholm, Matthew F., Martin, L. W., Pennycook, S. J., Tsymbal, E. Y., Coey, J. M. D., Cao, W. W.

“…Magnetotransport characterization reveals that an increase of either electron-doping or hole-doping induced ferromagnetic order in this antiferromagnetic compound, and leads to an insulator-to-metal transition with colossal magnetoresistance showing electron–hole asymmetry. These findings are supported by density functional theory calculations, showing that strengthening of the inter-plane ferromagnetic exchange interaction is the origin of the ambipolar ferromagnetism. …”

Controllable broadband multicolour single-mode polarized laser in a dye-assembled homoepitaxial MOF microcrystal by He, Huajun, Cui, Yuanjing, Li, Hongjun, Shao, Kai, Chen, Banglin, Qian, Guodong

“…Furthermore, the resulting three-colour single-mode lasing possesses the largest wavelength coverage of ~186 nm (ranging from ~534 to ~720 nm) ever reported. These findings may open a new route to the exploitation of multicolour single-mode micro/nanolasers constructed by MOF engineering for photonic and biochemical applications.…”

The cancellation heuristic in intertemporal choice shifts people's time preferences by Sengupta, Arjun, Savani, Krishna

“…Furthermore, we provide evidence of the underlying mechanism-people's intertemporal decisions shifted to a greater extent in the cancellation condition, particularly if their marginal utility diminished faster. The findings indicate that two features of human psychology-diminishing marginal utility and the cancellation heuristic-can be simultaneously utilized to nudge people to make decisions that would be better for them in the long run.…”
