In usual diffusion, the concentration profile, starting from an initial distribution showing sharp features, first gets smooth and then converges to a Gaussian. By considering several examples, we show that the art of convergence to a Gaussian in diffusion in disordered media with infinite contrast may be strikingly different: sharp features of initial distribution do not smooth out at long times. This peculiarity of the strong disorder may be of importance for diagnostics of disorder in complex, e.g., biological, systems.

As crucial transportation hubs for urban travel, metro stations catalyze the transformation of their surrounding areas into highly prominent locations where many activities converge. Uncovering the functional attributes of station areas holds immense significance in comprehending citizens' activity demands, thereby offering valuable insights for regional development and planning in proximity to metro stations. This study introduces a framework that improves the process of accurately representing station areas.

Diffusion models have emerged as powerful generative techniques for solving inverse problems. Despite their success in a variety of inverse problems in imaging, these models require many steps to converge, leading to slow inference time. Recently, there has been a trend in diffusion models for employing sophisticated noise schedules that involve more frequent iterations of timesteps at lower noise levels, thereby improving image generation and convergence speed.

Background: The psychometric properties of the Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey (CISS) have been previously determined across the younger adult population. This study investigated the psychometric properties of the CISS in presbyopic adults via classical and Rasch analysis.
Methods: A total of 100 presbyopic individuals (40-60 years) were selected with far and near acuity of 20/20 with their habitual spectacles; 50 had convergence insufficiency and 50 had normal binocular vision.

Dung Beetle algorithm is an intelligent optimization algorithm with advantages in exploitation ability. However, due to the high randomness of parameters, premature convergence and other reasons, there is an imbalance between exploration and exploitation ability, and it is easy to fall into the problem of local optimal solution. The purpose of this study is to improve the optimization performance of dung beetle algorithm and explore its engineering application value.

Moth Flame Optimization (MFO) is a swarm intelligence algorithm inspired by the nocturnal flight mode of moths, and it has been widely used in various fields due to its simple structure and high optimization efficiency. Nonetheless, a notable limitation is its susceptibility to local optimality because of the absence of a well-balanced exploitation and exploration phase. Hence, this paper introduces a novel enhanced MFO algorithm (BWEMFO) designed to improve algorithmic performance.
