An Interior Solution for the Kerr Metric: A Novel Approach by Yu-Ching Chou

“…By deriving a physically plausible interior solution that smoothly matches the Kerr exterior metric, we analyze the energy conditions across various rotation parameters. Our findings reveal anisotropic fluid properties and energy condition behaviors in specific space-time regions, providing insights into the strong-field regime of rotating black holes. …”

‘L’Amour aux Antipodes’: Tasma, Australia and the French Connection by Judith Johnston

“…This article investigates Tasma's only known French publication, ‘L'Amour aux Antipodes’ (‘Love in the Antipodes’) which first appeared in August 1880 in the Parisian periodical La Nouvelle Revue, possibly to capitalise on the popularity of a series of lectures on Australia which she had delivered in various French and Belgian cities. I argue that the novella is designed specifically for a French readership, not only in terms of setting, but also because Tasma's usual critique of gender ideology is replaced with a determined anti-clericalism, possibly in response to current debates in Paris at the time and a wish to avoid the fraught gender politics of the Third Republic.…”

Dual-branch autoencoder network for attacking deep hashing image retrieval models by Sizheng FU, Chunjie CAO, Zhiyuan LIU, Fangjian TAO, Jingzhang SUN

“…Due to its powerful representation learning capabilities and efficient computing capabilities, deep learning-based hashing (deep hashing) methods are widely used in large-scale image retrieval.However, there are less studies on the security of deep hashing models.A dual-branch autoencoder network (DBAE) to study targeted attacks on such retrieval was proposed.The main goal of DBAE was to generate imperceptible adversarial samples as query images in order to make the images retrieved by the deep hashing model semantically irrelevant to the original image and relevant to the target image.Numerous experiments demonstrate that DBAE can successfully generate adversarial samples with small perturbations to mislead deep hashing models, and italso verifies the transferability of these perturbations under various settings.…”
