Spin-mediated modulation of chaos bound violation in Lorentz-violating black hole spacetimes

We investigate how the particle spin modulates chaos bound violations in Lorentz-violating black hole spacetimes within the framework of Bumblebee gravity. Using the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon formalism, we analyze the effects of spin-curvature coupling, Lorentz symmetry breaking, and the cosmological constant on the orbital instability in static spherically symmetric (A)dS black holes. We find that the particle spin provides a tunable mechanism for the violations by lowering the critical angular momentum required to enter the violation regime. The Lorentz-violating parameter suppresses the violations by reducing the accessible parameter space and the critical charge. Meanwhile, a negative cosmological constant decreases the violation region but enhances the violation magnitude for allowed configurations. Our results demonstrate that the spin and Lorentz symmetry breaking jointly regulate the interplay between orbital instability and black hole horizon properties.

Chaos bound for spinning particles in Kerr-Newman-AdS black holes

In this paper, we employ spinning test particles as probes to investigate the regulatory effects of particle and black hole parameters on the violation of the chaos bound in Kerr-Newman-AdS spacetime. Our results demonstrate that the chaos bound violation is governed by the interplay of spacetime geometry, electromagnetic forces, and particle dynamics. The particle spin modulates the direction dependence and parameter thresholds of the violation through its coupling with the orbital angular momentum, which contributes to the total angular momentum. The negative cosmological constant acts as a potential well, with a larger magnitude of the cosmological constant leading to stronger chaotic behavior. A competitive coupling exists between the black hole rotation and charge -- its prograde rotation exerts a stabilizing effect that can suppress or even completely quench charge-driven violations, while the charge serves as a condition for triggering the violation, with its effect modulated by the spin stabilization. In the Kerr-AdS limit, the violation occurs only when the black hole rotates opposite to the $z$-axis with a sufficiently large rotation parameter and a sufficiently small cosmological constant. In the RN-AdS limit, the violation condition is jointly determined by the charge and the cosmological constant, with electromagnetic repulsion more readily inducing the violation than electromagnetic attraction.

TextDS: Parameter-Efficient Representation Alignment for Scene Text Detection under Distribution Shifts

In real-world deployments, scene text detectors inevitably face distribution shifts beyond the training distribution. Prior work often depends on large-scale scene-text pretraining, yet evaluation under cross-domain changes and real-world imaging degradations remains limited. We propose TextDS, an efficient framework for scene text detection under distribution shifts. First, we propose a data-efficient dual-encoder design with visual foundation models, eliminating the reliance on large-scale scene-text pretraining. Second, we introduce Step-wise LoRA adaptation (SWLoRA), which performs progressive low-rank refinement with a dynamic early-exit mechanism for effective feature adaptation. Third, we propose Common Subspace Fusion (CSF) to align and fuse the two branches in a shared subspace while retaining complementary, shift-robust information. Finally, we construct adverse-condition scene text detection datasets to address the gap in evaluating under imaging degradation. Experiments show that TextDS achieves competitive performance in scene text detection, demonstrating robustness across domains and adverse imaging conditions with only 4.9M trainable parameters.

SHARP: Spectrum-aware Highly-dynamic Adaptation for Resolution Promotion in Remote Sensing Synthesis

Text-to-image synthesis for remote sensing (RS) lacks an accessible, high-performance generative foundation, as directly training diffusion models at large, high resolutions is computationally prohibitive. Training-free resolution promotion via Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE) extrapolation offers an efficient alternative, but existing algorithms apply static scaling rules tailored to natural scenes, whereas RS imagery is dominated by dense, minute instances that hinge on high-frequency structural integrity. We present a comprehensive framework for large-scale RS synthesis. First, we curate over 100{,}000 image-text pairs to train RS-FLUX, a domain-specialized generative prior. Second, we propose \textbf{SHARP}, a training-free extrapolation algorithm that introduces a Rational Decay Scheduler to modulate RoPE frequencies throughout denoising: strong positional extrapolation early on enforces coherent global layouts, and progressive relaxation later recovers dense high-frequency details. Extensive experiments show that SHARP consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple promoted resolutions with negligible ($<$4\%) overhead, offering an efficient and structurally faithful solution for large-scale RS generation.

ELLMob: Event-Driven Human Mobility Generation with Self-Aligned LLM Framework

Human mobility generation aims to synthesize plausible trajectory data, which is widely used in urban system research. While Large Language Model-based methods excel at generating routine trajectories, they struggle to capture deviated mobility during large-scale societal events. This limitation stems from two critical gaps: (1) the absence of event-annotated mobility datasets for design and evaluation, and (2) the inability of current frameworks to reconcile competitions between users' habitual patterns and event-imposed constraints when making trajectory decisions. This work addresses these gaps with a twofold contribution. First, we construct the first event-annotated mobility dataset covering three major events: Typhoon Hagibis, COVID-19, and the Tokyo 2021 Olympics. Second, we propose ELLMob, a self-aligned LLM framework that first extracts competing rationales between habitual patterns and event constraints, based on Fuzzy-Trace Theory, and then iteratively aligns them to generate trajectories that are both habitually grounded and event-responsive. Extensive experiments show that ELLMob wins state-of-the-art baselines across all events, demonstrating its effectiveness.

TrajGPT-R: Generating Urban Mobility Trajectory with Reinforcement Learning-Enhanced Generative Pre-trained Transformer

Mobility trajectories are essential for understanding urban dynamics and enhancing urban planning, yet access to such data is frequently hindered by privacy concerns. This research introduces a transformative framework for generating large-scale urban mobility trajectories, employing a novel application of a transformer-based model pre-trained and fine-tuned through a two-phase process. Initially, trajectory generation is conceptualized as an offline reinforcement learning (RL) problem, with a significant reduction in vocabulary space achieved during tokenization. The integration of Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) allows for the capture of trajectory-wise reward signals, leveraging historical data to infer individual mobility preferences. Subsequently, the pre-trained model is fine-tuned using the constructed reward model, effectively addressing the challenges inherent in traditional RL-based autoregressive methods, such as long-term credit assignment and handling of sparse reward environments. Comprehensive evaluations on multiple datasets illustrate that our framework markedly surpasses existing models in terms of reliability and diversity. Our findings not only advance the field of urban mobility modeling but also provide a robust methodology for simulating urban data, with significant implications for traffic management and urban development planning. The implementation is publicly available at https://github.com/Wangjw6/TrajGPT_R.

Text-Pass Filter: An Efficient Scene Text Detector

To pursue an efficient text assembling process, existing methods detect texts via the shrink-mask expansion strategy. However, the shrinking operation loses the visual features of text margins and confuses the foreground and background difference, which brings intrinsic limitations to recognize text features. We follow this issue and design Text-Pass Filter (TPF) for arbitrary-shaped text detection. It segments the whole text directly, which avoids the intrinsic limitations. It is noteworthy that different from previous whole text region-based methods, TPF can separate adhesive texts naturally without complex decoding or post-processing processes, which makes it possible for real-time text detection. Concretely, we find that the band-pass filter allows through components in a specified band of frequencies, called its passband but blocks components with frequencies above or below this band. It provides a natural idea for extracting whole texts separately. By simulating the band-pass filter, TPF constructs a unique feature-filter pair for each text. In the inference stage, every filter extracts the corresponding matched text by passing its pass-feature and blocking other features. Meanwhile, considering the large aspect ratio problem of ribbon-like texts makes it hard to recognize texts wholly, a Reinforcement Ensemble Unit (REU) is designed to enhance the feature consistency of the same text and to enlarge the filter's recognition field to help recognize whole texts. Furthermore, a Foreground Prior Unit (FPU) is introduced to encourage TPF to discriminate the difference between the foreground and background, which improves the feature-filter pair quality. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of REU and FPU while showing the TPF's superiority.

MDAFNet: Multiscale Differential Edge and Adaptive Frequency Guided Network for Infrared Small Target Detection

Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) plays a crucial role in numerous military and civilian applications. However, existing methods often face the gradual degradation of target edge pixels as the number of network layers increases, and traditional convolution struggles to differentiate between frequency components during feature extraction, leading to low-frequency backgrounds interfering with high-frequency targets and high-frequency noise triggering false detections. To address these limitations, we propose MDAFNet (Multi-scale Differential Edge and Adaptive Frequency Guided Network for Infrared Small Target Detection), which integrates the Multi-Scale Differential Edge (MSDE) module and Dual-Domain Adaptive Feature Enhancement (DAFE) module. The MSDE module, through a multi-scale edge extraction and enhancement mechanism, effectively compensates for the cumulative loss of target edge information during downsampling. The DAFE module combines frequency domain processing mechanisms with simulated frequency decomposition and fusion mechanisms in the spatial domain to effectively improve the network's capability to adaptively enhance high-frequency targets and selectively suppress high-frequency noise. Experimental results on multiple datasets demonstrate the superior detection performance of MDAFNet.

DCCS-Det: Directional Context and Cross-Scale-Aware Detector for Infrared Small Target

Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) is critical for applications like remote sensing and surveillance, which aims to identify small, low-contrast targets against complex backgrounds. However, existing methods often struggle with inadequate joint modeling of local-global features (harming target-background discrimination) or feature redundancy and semantic dilution (degrading target representation quality). To tackle these issues, we propose DCCS-Det (Directional Context and Cross-Scale Aware Detector for Infrared Small Target), a novel detector that incorporates a Dual-stream Saliency Enhancement (DSE) block and a Latent-aware Semantic Extraction and Aggregation (LaSEA) module. The DSE block integrates localized perception with direction-aware context aggregation to help capture long-range spatial dependencies and local details. On this basis, the LaSEA module mitigates feature degradation via cross-scale feature extraction and random pooling sampling strategies, enhancing discriminative features and suppressing noise. Extensive experiments show that DCCS-Det achieves state-of-the-art detection accuracy with competitive efficiency across multiple datasets. Ablation studies further validate the contributions of DSE and LaSEA in improving target perception and feature representation under complex scenarios. \href{https://huggingface.co/InPeerReview/InfraredSmallTargetDetection-IRSTD.DCCS}{DCCS-Det Official Code is Available Here!}

HA2F: Dual-module Collaboration-Guided Hierarchical Adaptive Aggregation Framework for Remote Sensing Change Detection

Remote sensing change detection (RSCD) aims to identify the spatio-temporal changes of land cover, providing critical support for multi-disciplinary applications (e.g., environmental monitoring, disaster assessment, and climate change studies). Existing methods focus either on extracting features from localized patches, or pursue processing entire images holistically, which leads to the cross temporal feature matching deviation and exhibiting sensitivity to radiometric and geometric noise. Following the above issues, we propose a dual-module collaboration guided hierarchical adaptive aggregation framework, namely HA2F, which consists of dynamic hierarchical feature calibration module (DHFCM) and noise-adaptive feature refinement module (NAFRM). The former dynamically fuses adjacent-level features through perceptual feature selection, suppressing irrelevant discrepancies to address multi-temporal feature alignment deviations. The NAFRM utilizes the dual feature selection mechanism to highlight the change sensitive regions and generate spatial masks, suppressing the interference of irrelevant regions or shadows. Extensive experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed HA2F, which achieves state-of-the-art performance on LEVIR-CD, WHU-CD, and SYSU-CD datasets, surpassing existing comparative methods in terms of both precision metrics and computational efficiency. In addition, ablation experiments show that DHFCM and NAFRM are effective. \href{https://huggingface.co/InPeerReview/RemoteSensingChangeDetection-RSCD.HA2F}{HA2F Official Code is Available Here!}

Motions of spinning particles and chaos bound in Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetime

Previous research showed that the chaos bound proposed in \cite{MSS} can be violated under specific conditions within the scalar fields surrounding black holes. In this paper, we explore motions of spinning particles orbiting a Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole and examine whether this bound is violated in the spinor field of this black hole. For the neutral particle, when its spin magnitude surpasses a specific threshold, the value of the exponent exceeds the surface gravity, resulting in a violation of the bound. Given a fixed total angular momentum of the particle, when its spin direction is anti-aligned with the angular momentum direction, the exponent value is greater than that when the two directions are aligned. For the charged particle, taking into account the influence of the electromagnetic force, we find that for relatively large angular momenta, although the electromagnetic force does not change the trend of the exponent's variation with respect to spin and angular momentum, and only modifies its values, it still leads to the violation. Therefore, the chaos bound violations are observed in the spinor field.

Interplay of Lyapunov exponents, phase transitions and chaos bound in nonlinear electrodynamics black hole

In this paper, we investigate Lyapunov exponents of chaos for both massless and charged particles around a non-linear electrodynamics black hole, and explore their relationships with a phase transition and a chaos bound of this black hole. Our results indicate that these exponents can effectively reveal the phase transition. Specifically, during the phase transition, the violation of the chaos bound occurs solely within a stable branch of a small black hole. Moreover, regardless of whether the phase transition takes place, the violations are observed.

Response Analysis of Four-Level Heterodyne Rydberg Atom Receiver

The four-level heterodyne Rydberg atom receiver has garnered significant attention in microwave detection and communication due to its high sensitivity and phase measurement capabilities. Existing theoretical studies, primarily based on static solutions, are limited in characterizing the system's frequency response. To address this, this paper comprehensively investigates the dynamic solutions of the density matrix elements for the four-level heterodyne structure, establishing a quantitative relationship between system response, signal frequency, and system parameters. This enables theoretical bandwidth calculations and performance analysis. This paper also constructs a noise model for the density matrix elements, revealing the relationship between the ultimate sensitivity of the Rydberg atom receiver and the noise in the density matrix elements. Both theoretical simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the bandwidth of the four-level heterodyne receiver can exceed 10 MHz. This study provides critical theoretical support for the engineering applications and performance optimization of heterodyne Rydberg atom receivers.

Channel Modeling of Satellite-to-Underwater Laser Communication Links: An Analytical-Monte Carlo Hybrid Approach

Channel modeling for satellite-to-underwater laser communication (StULC) links remains challenging due to long distances and the diversity of the channel constituents. The StULC channel is typically segmented into three isolated channels: the atmospheric channel, the air-water interface channel, and the underwater channel. Previous studies involving StULC channel modeling either focused on separated channels or neglected the combined effects of particles and turbulence on laser propagation. In this paper, we established a comprehensive StULC channel model by an analytical-Monte Carlo hybrid approach, taking into account the effects of both particles and turbulence. We first obtained the intensity distribution of the transmitted laser beam after passing through the turbulent atmosphere based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle. Then we derived a closed-form probability density function of the photon propagating direction after passing through the air-water interface, which greatly simplified the modeling of StULC links. At last, we employed a Monte Carlo method to model the underwater links and obtained the power distribution at the receiving plane. Based on the proposed StULC channel model, we analyzed the bit error rate and the outage probability under different environmental conditions. Numerical results demonstrated that, the influence of underwater particle concentration on the communication performance is much pronounced than those of both the atmospheric turbulence and the underwater turbulence. Notably, increasing the wind speed at the air-water interface does not significantly worsen the communication performance of the StULC links.

The impact of large-scale EV charging on the real-time operation of distribution systems: A comprehensive review

With the large-scale integration of electric vehicles (EVs) in the distribution grid, the unpredictable nature of EV charging introduces considerable uncertainties to the grid's real-time operations. This can exacerbate load fluctuations, compromise power quality, and pose risks to the grid's stability and security. However, due to their dual role as controllable loads and energy storage devices, EVs have the potential to mitigate these fluctuations, balance the variability of renewable energy sources, and provide ancillary services that support grid stability. By leveraging the bidirectional flow of information and energy in smart grids, the adverse effects of EV charging can be minimized and even converted into beneficial outcomes through effective real-time management strategies. This paper explores the negative impacts of EV charging on the distribution system's real-time operations and outlines methods to transform these challenges into positive contributions. Additionally, it provides an in-depth analysis of the real-time management system for EV charging, focusing on state estimation and management strategies.

Lyapunov exponents, phase transition and chaos bound in Kerr-Newman AdS spacetime

In this paper, we investigate Lyapunov exponents associated with chaotic motions of both massless and massive particles in the vicinity of a Kerr-Newman AdS black hole. Our exploration focuses on their correlations with the black hole phase transition and the chaos bound. The results demonstrate that these exponents serve as effective probes of the phase transition, with the chaotic Lyapunov exponent of the massless particle offering a more precise characterization. Further calculations indicate that critical exponents linked to these Lyapunov exponents are uniformly 1/2. Notably, the violation of the chaos bound occurs irrespective of whether a phase transition is taking place. Through comparative analysis, we identify a critical radius, and the violation consistently arises when the black hole's radius is less than this critical radius. Moreover, this violation is observed in the spacetime of the stable small black hole during the phase transition.

Diagnostic performance of echocardiography in detecting and differentiating cardiac amyloidosis: a meta-analysis

Aims: This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of echocardiographic parameters for cardiac amyloidosis (CA), with a focus on subtype stratification and comparisons with healthy controls. Methods and Results: A comprehensive search identified 26 studies published before February 2025, encompassing 3,802 patients. Compared to healthy individuals, CA patients demonstrated significant echocardiographic abnormalities, including reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF; WMD = -10.65, 95% CI: [-11.84, -9.46]), increased left atrial volume index (WMD = +15.87, 95% CI: [14.35, 17.38]), and thickened posterior wall (WMD = +5.14, 95% CI: [4.85, 5.42]). Subtype analyses revealed that transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) was associated with more pronounced systolic dysfunction than light-chain cardiac amyloidosis (AL-CA), evidenced by lower global longitudinal strain (WMD = -2.02, 95% CI: [-2.66, -1.37]), reduced LVEF (WMD = -5.31, 95% CI: [-6.63, -3.99]), and diminished tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (WMD = -1.59, 95% CI: [-2.23, -0.95]). Additionally, ATTR-CA patients exhibited greater ventricular wall thickening in both posterior wall (WMD = +1.87, 95% CI: [1.51, 2.23]) and interventricular septum (WMD = +2.24, 95% CI: [1.85, 2.63]). Conclusion: Echocardiography plays a pivotal role in diagnosing CA and distinguishing between AL-CA and ATTR-CA. Key indices such as LVEF and global longitudinal strain are especially valuable for early detection, while subtype-specific patterns highlight distinct underlying pathophysiologies, offering guidance for tailored diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Road Similarity-Based BEV-Satellite Image Matching for UGV Localization

To address the challenge of autonomous UGV localization in GNSS-denied off-road environments,this study proposes a matching-based localization method that leverages BEV perception image and satellite map within a road similarity space to achieve high-precision positioning.We first implement a robust LiDAR-inertial odometry system, followed by the fusion of LiDAR and image data to generate a local BEV perception image of the UGV. This approach mitigates the significant viewpoint discrepancy between ground-view images and satellite map. The BEV image and satellite map are then projected into the road similarity space, where normalized cross correlation (NCC) is computed to assess the matching score.Finally, a particle filter is employed to estimate the probability distribution of the vehicle's pose.By comparing with GNSS ground truth, our localization system demonstrated stability without divergence over a long-distance test of 10 km, achieving an average lateral error of only 0.89 meters and an average planar Euclidean error of 3.41 meters. Furthermore, it maintained accurate and stable global localization even under nighttime conditions, further validating its robustness and adaptability.
