We present an experimental and theoretical study of the pattern formation process of standing subharmonic waves in a fluidized quasi-one-dimensional shallow granular bed. The fluidization process is driven by means of a time-periodic air flow, analogous to a tapping type of forcing. Measurements of the amplitude of the critical mode close to the transition are in quite good agreement with those inferred from a universal stochastic amplitude equation. This allows us to determine both the bifurcation point of the deterministic system and the corresponding noise intensity. We also show that the probability density distribution is well described by a generalized Rayleigh distribution, which is the stationary solution of the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation of the universal stochastic amplitude equation that describes our system.

Article Synopsis
- Multi-modal object re-identification (ReID) aims to identify objects from different image types by using their complementary features, but traditional CNN methods struggle with limited receptive fields while Transformer methods face high computational costs.
- The innovative MambaReID framework fuses the best aspects of CNNs and Transformer models, employing three key components: Three-Stage VMamba (TSV) for capturing global and local details efficiently, Dense Mamba (DM) for enhancing feature discriminability, and Consistent VMamba Fusion (CVF) for stronger multi-modal aggregation.
- MambaReID demonstrates improved performance in multi-modal object ReID tasks compared to existing methods while using fewer parameters and requiring less computational power, which is validated through extensive experiments

Impact crater experiments in granular media traditionally involve loosely packed sand targets. However, this study investigates granular impact craters on both loosely and more tightly packed sand targets. We report experiments that consistently adhere to power-law scaling laws for diameter as a function of impacting energy, similar to those reported by other groups for their experiments utilizing both solid and granular projectiles.

The development of continuous flow reactors (CFRs) employing aerobic granular sludge (AGS) for the retrofit of existing wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) using a continuous-flow activated sludge (CFAS) system has garnered increasing interest. This follows the worldwide adoption of AGS technology in sequencing batch reactors (SBRs). The better settleability of AGS compared to AS allows for process intensification of existing wastewater treatment plants without the difficult conversion of often relatively shallow CFRs to deeper AGS-SBRs.
