Discrete-symmetry-adapted Markov chain Monte Carlo for the electro-elasticity of polymers: chain taut, collapse, and order
arXiv:2205.00028v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Dielectric elastomers are promising for soft robotics and wearable electronics and sensors, but their use is hindered by the high electric fields required. Maximizing electromechanical coupling through molecular mechanisms is essential. However, progress on the role of dipole-dipole interactions between monomers has been limited, in part because the resulting energy landscapes, characterized by multiple symmetric wells separated by...
Revisiting $O(n \log \log n)$ chaining for anchored edit distance
arXiv:2606.03929v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Colinear chaining is a classical heuristic for sequence alignment: it enables scalable genome comparison and is a main component of many state-of-the-art read mappers based on seed-chain-extend. The earliest $O(n \log \log n)$ time algorithms by Eppstein et al. (J. ACM, 1992) chained $n$ fragments between two sequences $T$ and $Q$ while minimizing a gap cost based on the diagonal distance $\Delta_{\text{diag}}$ between consecutive fragments.

Major coffee chain that closed almost 1,000 high street stores plans huge comeback
Major coffee chain that closed almost 1,000 high street stores plans huge comeback The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, which once operated more than 1,100 cafés worldwide, has spent the past decade shrinking its presence across the United States amid changing consumer habits, rising costs and the fallout from the Covid pandemic A leading coffee chain that significantly reduced its presence following years of closures is planning a resurgence as it seeks to rival competitors, including Starbucks. The...
UK shoe store chain Wynsors may close stores as restructuring puts 100 jobs at risk
UK shoe store chain Wynsors may close stores as restructuring puts 100 jobs at risk Wynsors World of Shoes is reportedly considering closing several stores as part of a restructuring process that could affect around 100 jobs, after it was acquired by an investment firm six months ago Footwear retailer Wynsors World of Shoes is undergoing a restructuring process that could place 100 jobs in jeopardy, just six months after the chain was acquired by an investment firm. Investment firm Modella...
Entrepreneur Asyraf Rasheed on why he brought popular Indonesian nasi padang chain Sederhana to Singapore
Entrepreneur Asyraf Rasheed on why he brought popular Indonesian nasi padang chain Sederhana to Singapore “We’re not trying to take over anyone’s legacy,” biotechnologist turned F&B entrepreneur Asyraf Rasheed, 33, tells 8days.sg. Why did he bring the Indonesian chain Sederhana to where the heritage Singaporean nasi padang joint Warong Nasi Pariaman once stood? When Warong Nasi Pariaman shuttered in January after 78 years, many wondered what could possibly replace the beloved Kampong Glam...
Chain-of-Thought and Compressed Looped Transformers: A Memory-Budget Separation
arXiv:2605.30757v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Chain-of-thought prompting and looped Transformers both give a fixed model more test-time computation, but they differ in what they remember. Chain-of-thought stores intermediate state in generated tokens that remain in the context, whereas a looped Transformer carries state through recurrent hidden activations. We argue that this persistent mutable memory is a central resource for test-time reasoning.
A Self-Priming Neural Chain Links Sequential Behaviors Across Timescales
Behavioral sequences are essential for survival, yet the neural mechanisms that link one action to the next remain incompletely understood. In classical chain models, sequential behaviors arise through feedforward propagation of activity across distinct neuronal populations or network modules. Here, we identify a distinct form of neural chain mechanism in which neurons active during a first behavior modulate themselves into a persistent state of elevated tonic firing that subsequently drives...
