Renormalization techniques for inflation systems and some of their applications

Acta Crystallographica Section A, EarlyView.
In this work, renormalization methods for quantities related to the diffraction of inflation systems are surveyed.Exact renormalization techniques are important and powerful, particularly for inflation‐generated systems. We review recent results in this direction.

Social voice judgement is dyadic: Acoustic typicality and interpersonal similarity interact

British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The formation of social first impressions from voices is a central component of everyday social interactions. While past research has primarily investigated the effect of bottom‐up voice acoustic on social voice judgements, here we widen the perspective and investigate how bottom‐up acoustic and top‐down interpersonal similarity interactively ...

A Simple Grid‐Maps Pipeline: Restructured, Accelerated and Upgraded

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Grid maps – spatially arranged small multiples – are a powerful tool to show complex geospatial data. Meulemans et al. (2020) introduced a pipeline for computing high‐quality grid maps that are shaped roughly according to their containing geographic outlines.

Dynamic Wave Trains: A Procedural Approach to Spatially Varying Ocean Synthesis

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
In this paper, we present a high performance procedural model capable of synthesizing and rendering a virtually infinite ocean. Our method exhibits spatial variations as the orientations, speed and choppiness of the waves is parametrized for each frequencies and each point in space. The provided visual abstract exhibits a sunset rendering of a large 40

Considerations for the Design of Sinusoidal Slug Testing Methods

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Periodic hydraulic tests estimate aquifer properties using controlled groundwater‐level oscillations. Evaluating two sinusoidal slug‐test designs shows large motion errors when transfer‐link and flywheel ratios are high or variable. Rotating‐drive mechanisms are therefore suboptimal; stepper‐motor winches generate more accurate sinusoidal motion ...

Aperiodic EEG and 7T MRSI evidence for maturation of E/I balance supporting the development of working memory through adolescence

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience
Adolescence has been hypothesized to be a critical period for the development of human association cortex and higher-order cognition. A defining feature of critical period development is a shift in the excitation: inhibition (E/I) balance of neural ...

Miners' Reward Elasticity and Stability of Competing Proof‐of‐Work Cryptocurrencies

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proof‐of‐Work cryptocurrencies employ miners to sustain the system through algorithmic reward adjustments. We develop a stochastic model of the multicurrency mining and identify conditions for stable transaction speeds. Bitcoin's algorithm requires hash supply elasticity <$<$1 for stability, while ASERT remains stable for any elasticity and ...

Social Threat as Motivation for Phonetic Divergence: Evidence From Nonbinary Participants

Journal of Sociolinguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether nonbinary speakers’ imitation of extended voice onset time (VOT) in word‐initial English /p, t, k/ is impacted by whether they believe they are listening to a nonbinary or binary model speaker. Forty‐five nonbinary American English speakers participated in an online VOT shadowing task, and the results find that ...

Sodium Oxybate Alters Sleep Architecture and Reduces Emotional Selectivity in Memory‐Related Responses

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep supports memory consolidation. Non‐rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep have been proposed to support, respectively, declarative memory consolidation and the integration of the memory affective dimension. Here, we used sodium oxybate (SXB) to modify the NREM/REM proportion during one sleep night and assessed ...

From mathematical order to functional materials: new developments in thermal transport engineering

Applied Physics Express
Mathematical order such as the golden ratio, Fibonacci sequences, and other quasiperiodic or aperiodic patterns provide a compact design language for functional matter.
