This article is about Beethoven’s early years in Bonn, his home city before Vienna. We will discover what compositions he made, if these were special in any way or quite the opposite. Let us find the answers to these questions! Read more ›

In this note, we show that, for all $n\ge 2$, the number of distinct rooted binary phylogenetic $X$-trees displayed by a binary tree-child network $\mathcal{N}$ on $X$ with $n$ leaves is at most $2^{n-1}-1$ and that this upper bound is sharp. Furthermore, if $\mathcal{N}$ displays exactly $2^{n-1}-1$ such trees, then exactly one rooted binary phylogenetic $X$-tree is displayed twice, and this tree can be canonically found by iteratively replac...

Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) can provide naturalistic communication and digital access to people with severe paralysis by decoding neural activity associated with attempted speech and movement. Recent work has demonstrated highly accurate intracortical BCIs for speech and cursor control, but two critical capabilities needed for practical viability were unmet: independent at-home operation without researcher assistance and reliable long-term performance supporting accurate speech and curso...

Background Neurodegenerative diseases significantly impact brain health in older adults, and although dietary vitamin C intake has been associated with a reduced risk of cognitive impairment, it remains unclear whether plasma vitamin C levels independently affect brain structure and neural connectivity. This study aimed to investigate whether plasma vitamin C levels were independently associated with brain volume and default mode network (DMN) connectivity in older adults. Methods All partici...

We propose Base Sequence Analysis, a framework that encodes the runtime behavior of LLM-powered autonomous agents into compact symbolic sequences using a four-letter alphabet: X (Explore), E (Execute), P (Plan), and V (Verify). Drawing an analogy to genomic sequence analysis, we apply n-gram pattern mining, Markov transition matrices, and point-biserial correlation to 347 real-world execution traces collected from a production ReAct agent system...
