The Role of Dice in the Emergence of the Probability Calculus
Summary The early development of the probability calculus was clearly influenced by the roll of dice. However, while dice have been cast since time immemorial, documented calculations on the frequency of various dice throws date back only to the mid‐13th century.

Variable selection via thresholding
Abstract Variable selection comprises an important step in many modern statistical inference procedures. In the regression setting, when estimators cannot shrink irrelevant signals to zero, covariates without relationships to the response often manifest small but nonzero regression coefficients.

Microconcentrator Solar Panel Architectures Achieving High Specific Power for Deep Space Missions
Microconcentrator photovoltaics (microCPV) are emerging as a promising solution for powering spacecraft in deep space, where conventional solar arrays are challenged by extremely low‐intensity, low‐temperature conditions. This work presents the design, development, and characterization of two optical architectures aiming at maximizing specific power (W/

Nearly 180° Field‐of‐View Metalens for Miniaturized Imaging Systems
A compact, single‐layer metalens is developed with an ultra‐wide field of view of ≈180 degrees. Utilizing a unique quadratic phase profile, this metalens overcomes traditional issues like axial and color dispersion. It operates across red, green, and blue wavelengths with non‐polarized light, promising enhanced imaging capabilities for integration into

On the Electromagnetic Energy Flow Along Geodesics
Abstract We present a field‐theoretic framework for modeling electromagnetic energy propagation in heterogeneous media by introducing the concept of electromagnetic geodesics. Unlike traditional ray optics, which assumes either a straight‐line propagation or a simple bending in refractive media, our approach formulates wave propagation as geodetic ...

This work introduces a multiagent deep reinforcement learning (MADRL) framework for energy harvesting (EH) in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks aided by reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS). The core goal is to maximize quantities of harvested energy subject to quality of service (QoS) constraints in dynamic wireless setups.

Metasurfaces in Adaptive Optics: A New Opportunity in Optical Wavefront Sensing
Wavefront sensing constitutes a critical component of adaptive optics systems, aimed at quantitatively measuring distorted wavefronts and enabling closed‐loop correction in optical setups. Metasurfaces, as planar optical elements composed of nanoscale structures, provide exceptional freedom in modulating multiple dimensions of the light field.

Abstract This paper addresses the problem of retrieving the propagation velocities of electromagnetic waves in a non‐homogeneous soil made up of two layers separated by a not‐flat interface. The propagation velocities are estimated from GPR data gathered at the air–soil interface in common offset configuration.
