Approximation algorithms with linear complexities are required in the treatments of big data, however, present algorithms cannot output the diameter of a set of points with arbitrary accuracy and near-linear complexity. By introducing the partition technique, we introduce a very simple approximation algorithm with arbitrary accuracy ε and a complexity of O(N + ε-1 log ε-1) for the cases that all points are located in an Euclidean plane. The error bounds are proved strictly, and are verified by numerical tests. This complexity is better than existing algorithms, and the present algorithm is also very simple to be implemented in applications.

Humans rationally balance detailed and temporally abstract world models.

How do people model the world's dynamics to guide mental simulation and evaluate choices? One prominent approach, the Successor Representation (SR), takes advantage of temporal abstraction of future states: by aggregating trajectory predictions over multiple timesteps, the brain can avoid the costs of iterative, multi-step mental simulation. Human behavior broadly shows signatures of such temporal abstraction, but finer-grained characterization of individuals' strategies and their dynamic adjustment remains an open question. We developed a task to measure SR usage during dynamic, trial-by-trial learning.

Synthesis of BODIPYs using organoindium reagents and survey of their cytotoxicity and cell uptake on nervous system cells.

In this study, a series of BODIPY dyes were synthesized, containing various substituents at meso position. Further functionalization of the BODIPY framework at C2 and C2-C6 position(s) by palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reactions using organoindium reagents (RIn) was efficiently assessed, starting from C2(6)-halogenated BODIPYs, and their optical properties were measured. The cytotoxicity of BODIPY dyes on SH-SY5Y neuronal cells by MTT assay showed that those compounds bearing thien-2-yl and benzonitrile moieties at meso position, exhibited great efficiency in maintaining cell viability under all tested conditions (up to 50 µM for 24 h and 48 h).

Article Synopsis
  • The study reveals that laser-assisted dynamic interference in electron spectra can be experimentally observed using attosecond pulse trains, demonstrating fine interference patterns smaller than the energy of individual laser photons.
  • Theoretical simulations align with experimental findings, utilizing methods like the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and strong-field approximation to support the results.
  • Further analysis emphasizes the significance of phase variations in electron wave packets, showing that the manipulation of electron behavior in the continuum is achievable through advanced multicolor laser techniques controlled at attosecond timescales.

In this work, we investigate anharmonic vibrational polaritons formed due to strong light-matter interactions in an optical cavity between radiation modes and anharmonic vibrations beyond the long-wavelength limit. We introduce a conceptually simple description of light-matter interactions, where spatially localized cavity radiation modes couple to localized vibrations. Within this theoretical framework, we employ self-consistent phonon theory and vibrational dynamical mean-field theory to efficiently simulate momentum-resolved vibrational-polariton spectra, including effects of anharmonicity.
