Soft Robotic Sim2Real via Conditional Flow Matching
A new framework based on conditional flow matching addresses the persistent Sim2Real gap in soft robotics. By learning a conditional probability path, the model directly transforms inaccurate simulation data to match physical reality, successfully capturing complex phenomena like hysteresis.

Decomposition of skill scores for conditional verification: impact of Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation phases on the predictability of decadal temperature forecasts [PDF]
As the performance of weather and climate forecasting systems and their benchmark systems are generally not homogeneous in time and space and may vary in specific situations, improvements in certain situations or subsets have different effects on overall

Information transmission in oscillatory neural activity
Periodic neural activity not locked to the stimulus or to motor responses is usually ignored. Here, we present new tools for modeling and quantifying the information transmission based on periodic neural activity that occurs with quasi-random phase ...

Quadratic Quantum Measurements [PDF]
We develop a theory of quadratic quantum measurements by a mesoscopic detector. It is shown that quadratic measurements should have non-trivial quantum information properties, providing, for instance, a simple way of entangling two non-interacting qubits.

European Ports as Energy Hubs: A Sustainability Index to Assess Territorial Development
ABSTRACT The capacity of ports to act as energy hubs is increasingly relevant in light of sustainability challenges and global crises like the Ukraine conflict, the COVID‐19 pandemic and energy scarcity. Numerous international and national initiatives are shaping the future of port development to address environmental and economic concerns.

Decoding Emotional Signatures of Ethical Ads: An Analysis of Actor‐Viewer Synchrony
ABSTRACT We examine whether ethical advertisements differ from conventional ads in their on‐screen emotional signatures and whether those signatures transfer to actor‐viewer synchrony. Study 1 analyses 138 professionally produced YouTube ads using Automated Facial Expression Recognition (AFER) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to quantify actor ...

Directional influence between the human amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex at the time of decision-making. [PDF]
There is a growing consensus that the brain makes simple choices, such as choosing between an apple and an orange, by assigning value to the options under consideration, and comparing those values to make a choice.

A Bayesian framework for verification and recalibration of ensemble forecasts: How uncertain is NAO predictability? [PDF]
Predictability estimates of ensemble prediction systems are uncertain due to limited numbers of past forecasts and observations. To account for such uncertainty, this paper proposes a Bayesian inferential framework that provides a simple 6-parameter ...

Conditions for Oscillation of a Neutral Differential Equation [PDF]
For a neutral differential equation with positive and changeable sign coefficients [x(t)−a(t)x(δ(t))]′ + p(t)F(x(τ(t))) − q(t)G(x(σ(t))) = 0, oscillation criteria are established, where q(t) is not required as nonnegative. Several new results are obtained.
