arXiv:2604.21425v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The properties of plasmas in the low-density limit are described by virial expansions. Analytical expressions are known for the lowest virial coefficients from Green's function approaches.Recently, accurate path-integral Monte Carlo simulations were performed for the hydrogen plasma at low densities by Filinov and Bonitz [Phys. Rev. E 108 (2023)055212], which made a comparison of the virial expansions and the derivation of interpolation formulas possible. The exact expression for the second virial coefficient is used to test the accuracy of the PIMC simulations and the range of application of the virial expansions.To describe plasmas in a wider range of density and temperature, the concept of quasiparticles is considered. Medium modifications of free and bound states are obtained from the spectral function. Mean-field effects are presented, such as exchange terms, Pauli blocking and screening. The density expansions of the quasiparticle

arXiv:2604.20795v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents a hybrid architecture for intelligent systems in which large language models (LLMs) are extended with an external ontological memory layer. Instead of relying solely on parametric knowledge and vector-based retrieval (RAG), the proposed approach constructs and maintains a structured knowledge graph using RDF/OWL representations, enabling persistent, verifiable, and semantically grounded reasoning. The core contribution is an automated pipeline for ontology construction from heterogeneous data sources, including documents, APIs, and dialogue logs. The system performs entity recognition, relation extraction, normalization, and triple generation, followed by validation using SHACL and OWL constraints, and continuous graph updates. During inference, LLMs operate over a combined context that integrates vector-based retrieval with graph-based reasoning and external tool interaction. Experimental observations on planning

arXiv:2604.19770v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a hybrid multi-phase page matching algorithm for automated comparison of Japanese building permit document sets. Building permit review in Japan requires cross-referencing large PDF document sets across revision cycles, a process that is labor-intensive and error-prone when performed manually. The algorithm combines longest common subsequence (LCS) structural alignment, a seven-phase consensus matching pipeline, and a dynamic programming optimal alignment stage to robustly pair pages across revisions even when page order, numbering, or content changes substantially. A subsequent multi-layer diff engine -- comprising text-level, table-level, and pixel-level visual differencing -- produces highlighted difference reports. Evaluation on real-world permit document sets achieves F1=0.80 and precision=1.00 on a manually annotated ground-truth benchmark, with zero false-positive matched pairs.

The Iran war has done in two months what years of climate policy could not: make green hydrogen look economically viable.

The eight-week US-Israeli war on Iran, Tehran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian strikes on Qatar’s Ras Laffan liquefied natural gas (LNG) complex have sent Asian fuel...
