Reinforcement Learning Enabled Nanophotonic Devices
A reinforcement learning algorithm is used to design photonic devices. The method creates metagratings and grating couplers that efficiently control both the direction and polarization of light. Further, a reinforcement learning approach is used to design in‐plane integrated photonic devices. This approach paves the way for advanced photonic components

Frozen Differential Scattering in Reconfigurable Complex Media
A localized perturbation universally results in a rank‐one update of the scattering matrix of any complex medium. The resulting differential output wavefront is “frozen”: its spatial pattern is fixed (agnostic to the input wavefront). Experiments with a programmable‐metasurface‐parametrized wireless link validate frozen differential scattering and ...

Parametric Modeling of Visual Search Efficiency in Real Scenes
How should the efficiency of searching for real objects in real scenes be measured? Traditionally, when searching for artificial targets, e.g., letters or rectangles, among distractors, efficiency is measured by a reaction time (RT) × Set Size function.

Free Surface Waves in Electrohydrodynamics With a Prescribed Vorticity Distribution
ABSTRACT Traditionally, the study of free surface flows assumed irrotationality to simplify matters, and the results seemed to have great success, notably with the Korteweg‐de Vries(KdV) equation. In the past decade, there have been attempts to remove this seemingly strong condition and replace it with a global constant vorticity equivalent to a linear

Conditional Generative Modeling for Enhanced Credit Risk Management in Supply Chain Finance
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of cross‐border e‐commerce (CBEC) has created significant opportunities for small‐ and medium‐sized sellers, yet financing remains a critical challenge due to their limited credit histories. Third‐party logistics (3PL)‐led supply chain finance (SCF) has emerged as a promising solution, leveraging in‐transit inventory as ...

Applying Dynamics/Cost Parameter Continuation to the Optimal Guidance of Variable‐Speed Unicycle
(a) Classical parameter continuation method diverges. (b) Dynamics/cost parameter continuation method converges. ABSTRACT The problem of a variable‐speed unicycle guidance to the stationary target is considered. The vehicle should be guided to the origin while minimizing the energy loss due to the induced drag.

Smooth quasi-developable surfaces bounded by smooth curves
Computing a quasi-developable strip surface bounded by design curves finds wide industrial applications. Existing methods compute discrete surfaces composed of developable lines connecting sampling points on input curves which are not adequate for ...

Identifying knowledge gaps about context dependency in freshwater species invasions
The abiotic template of freshwater ecosystems is being altered by human activity on a global scale, often promoting the establishment of new invasive taxa and increasing the likelihood of facilitation between invaders. These positive interactions represent a substantive threat to freshwater ecosystems by promoting the establishment and persistence of ...

Linking differences in personality to demography in the wandering albatross
Population dynamics are shaped by individual differences. With a good understanding of the relationships between individual differences and vital rates, population models can be improved to yield more realistic and detailed demographic projections. Personality is expected to shape individual differences in performance.

Brownotate, a Comprehensive Solution to Generate Protein Sequence Databases for Any Species
ABSTRACT Proteomics is strengthening research in biology and the diversification of the model organisms studied is very promising for fully understanding the complexity of biological principles. However, the lack of protein sequence databases for many species is a major bottleneck.
