description: Variational quantum eigensolvers have recently received increased attention, as they enable the use of quantum computing devices to find solutions to complex problems, such as the ground energy and ground state of strongly-correlated quantum many-body systems. In many applications, it is the optimization of both continuous and discrete parameters that poses a formidable challenge. Using reinforcement learning (RL), we present a hybrid policy gradient algorithm capable of simultaneously optimizing continuous and discrete degrees of freedom in an uncertainty-resilient way. The hybrid policy is modeled by a deep autoregressive neural network to capture causality. We employ the algorithm to prepare the ground state of the nonintegrable quantum Ising model in a unitary process, parametrized by a generalized quantum approximate optimization ansatz: the RL agent solves the discrete combinatorial problem of constructing the optimal sequences of unitaries out of a predefined set and, at the same time, it optimizes the continuous durations for which these unitaries are applied. We demonstrate the noise-robust features of the agent by considering three sources of uncertainty: classical and quantum measurement noise, and errors in the control unitary durations. Our work exhibits the beneficial synergy between reinforcement learning and quantum control.

description: Background: This research developed through established ideas of the unconscious (Freud, 1914) focusing on abstraction in painting, and art in general and its relationship to the unconscious (Thorburn, 1921). The essay connects contemporary abstract painting to philosophical ideas of our current period, termed contemporaneity, focusing on painting in relation to the uncertainty of our times. Philosopher Boris Groys considers our contemporary age as one that forms through a focus in its own transforming, uncertain and unstable character (Groys, In the Flow, 2016, p 137).
Contribution: This essay examined uncertainty as a way of capturing or embodying the passing nature of experience, reflecting on a prescient awareness of the world through the abstract painting of Jordan Grant, and the relationship of this to an ever changing contemporary. The essay drew on the research of cultural theorist Françoise Vergès (2016) by describing our contemporaneity as informed by diverse visions, somewhat like a projected palimpsest, which despite being the product of erasures and re-writings also demands constant revision of the central ideas that underpin it. Formed through ceaselessly layered accumulations of events, information and histories that become submerged and replaced, Vergès indicates, a symptom of these times as a form of amnesia, in order that we cope with our multifarious existence. In responding to his unconscious, Grant’s abstract painting reveals disembodied psychological spaces to disclose an ungraspable and uncertain sense of reality
Significance: This essay was commissioned by Eric Nash, Curator of the Perc Tucker Regional Gallery, Townsville, Queensland. The essay was included in a substantial catalogue publication by the Regional Gallery to accompany the exhibition, receiving media and social media coverage. The author was invited to launch the exhibition on 16 December 2017.

description: In this paper, we introduce a definition of Fenchel conjugate and Fenchel biconjugate on Hadamard manifolds based on the tangent bundle. Our definition overcomes the inconvenience that the conjugate depends on the choice of a certain point on the manifold, as previous definitions required. On the other hand, this new definition still possesses properties known to hold in the Euclidean case. It even yields a broader interpretation of the Fenchel conjugate in the Euclidean case itself. Most prominently, our definition of the Fenchel conjugate provides a Fenchel-Moreau Theorem for geodesically convex, proper, lower semicontinuous functions. In addition, this framework allows us to develop a theory of separation of convex sets on Hadamard manifolds, and a strict separation theorem is obtained.

description: Search engines these days can serve datasets as search results. Datasets get picked up by search technologies based on structured descriptions on their official web pages, informed by metadata ontologies such as the Dataset content type of schema.org. Despite this promotion of the content type dataset as a first-class citizen of search results, a vast proportion of datasets, particularly research datasets, still need to be made discoverable and, therefore, largely remain unused. This is due to the sheer volume of datasets released every day and the inability of metadata to reflect a dataset's content and context accurately. This work seeks to improve this situation for a specific class of datasets, namely research datasets, which are the result of research endeavors and are accompanied by a scholarly publication. We propose the ORKG-Dataset content type, a specialized branch of the Open Research Knowledge Graoh (ORKG) platform, which provides descriptive information and a semantic model for research datasets, integrating them with their accompanying scholarly publications. This work aims to establish a standardized framework for recording and reporting research datasets within the ORKG-Dataset content type. This, in turn, increases research dataset transparency on the web for their improved discoverability and applied use. In this paper, we present a proposal -- the minimum FAIR, comparable, semantic description of research datasets in terms of salient properties of their supporting publication. We design a specific application of the ORKG-Dataset semantic model based on 40 diverse research datasets on scientific information extraction.

Model-independent search for the presence of new physics in events including H → γγ with √s = 13 TeV pp data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Springer Berlin Heidelberg

description: A model-independent search for new physics leading to final states containing a Higgs boson, with a mass of 125.09 GeV, decaying to a pair of photons is performed with 139 fb−1 of √ s = 13 TeV pp collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. This search examines 22 final states categorized by the objects that are produced in association with the Higgs boson. These objects include isolated electrons or muons, hadronically decaying τ -leptons, additional photons, missing transverse momentum, and hadronic jets, as well as jets that are tagged as containing a b-hadron. No significant excesses above Standard Model expectations are observed and limits on the production cross section at 95% confidence level are set. Detector efficiencies are reported for all 22 signal regions, which can be used to convert detector-level cross-section limits reported in this paper to particle-level cross-section constraints.

description: Introduction:
Lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is an umbrella term including several diseases under its cover. It includes Pneumonia and other underlying structural pulmonary disease exacerbation like acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), bronchiectasis (AEBX),chronic bronchitis(AECB). Though some LRTI patients can be treated as outpatients without antibiotics yet some require hospitalization including critical care support. The present  study aimed to show the prevalence and susceptibility pattern of Enterobacteriaceae and non -fermenting gram negative bacilli (NFGNB) isolated from hospitalized LRTI patients and selective molecular characterization of carbapenem resistant isolates.

Limitation and conclusion: The present work did not identify the other genes like OXA, IMP, VIM, SIM etc. Also we did not perform sequencing study to comment on clonal relatedness of the isolates. However to conclude, evidence of substantial percentage of carbapenem resistant isolate carrying blaNDM gene in the present clinical setting indicates need for effective and rapid infection control measures.

description: Background: Bloodstream infections (BSI) cause important morbidity and mortality worldwide. In Cambodia, there are limited data on pathogens causing BSI and their antimicrobial resistance. We describe the cumulative results of a prospective blood culture surveillance study in an adults’ hospital in Phnom Penh, Cambodia between July 2007 and December 2014.

Conclusions: Sustained surveillance of BSI allows detection of clinically relevant resistance patterns and outbreaks. BSI in Cambodian adults is mainly caused by difficult-to-treat pathogens. Our findings have important implications for treatment guidelines and urge for microbiological capacity building and solid interventions to contain antibiotic resistance.

description: The ability to reconstruct the kinematic parameters of hand movement using non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG) is essential for strength and endurance augmentation using exosuit/exoskeleton. For system development, the conventional classification based brain computer interface (BCI) controls external devices by providing discrete control signals to the actuator. A continuous kinematic reconstruction from EEG signal is better suited for practical BCI applications. The state-of-the-art multi-variable linear regression (mLR) method provides a continuous estimate of hand kinematics, achieving maximum correlation of upto 0.67 between the measured and the estimated hand trajectory. In this work, three novel source aware deep learning models are proposed for motion trajectory prediction (MTP). In particular, multi layer perceptron (MLP), convolutional neural network - long short term memory (CNN-LSTM), and wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) CNN-LSTM are presented. Additional novelty of the work includes utilization of brain source localization (using sLORETA) for the reliable decoding of motor intention mapping (channel selection) and accurate EEG time segment selection. Performance of the proposed models are compared with the traditionally utilised mLR technique on the real grasp and lift (GAL) dataset. Effectiveness of the proposed framework is established using the Pearson correlation coefficient and trajectory analysis. A significant improvement in the correlation coefficient is observed when compared with state-of-the-art mLR model. Our work bridges the gap between the control and the actuator block, enabling real time BCI implementation.

description: Background: The increasing interest in the human microbiome was sparked in part by two initiatives launched in 2008, the European and Chinese-led Metagenomics of the Human Intestinal Tract Consortium and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-sponsored Human Microbiome Project. The new knowledge provided by these initiatives and others worldwide are transforming our understanding of the pathogenesis of several diseases, including asthma, inflammatory bowel diseases, obesity and Type 1 diabetes, as well as the development of the immune response. However, African populations are understudied in these initiatives, and there is no “African Microbiome Initiative”. This systematic review aimed to summarize the state of research on the human microbiome in Africa, including the therapeutic role of the microbiome for the management of certain local diseases.

Conclusion: There is a need for more human microbiome research in Africa, for African researchers to take the lead in microbiome research on the continent and for studies to focus on diseases of public health concern in Africa.

description: Synthesizing graceful and life-like behaviors for physically simulated characters has been a fundamental challenge in computer animation. Data-driven methods that leverage motion tracking are a prominent class of techniques for producing high fidelity motions for a wide range of behaviors. However, the effectiveness of these tracking-based methods often hinges on carefully designed objective functions, and when applied to large and diverse motion datasets, these methods require significant additional machinery to select the appropriate motion for the character to track in a given scenario. In this work, we propose to obviate the need to manually design imitation objectives and mechanisms for motion selection by utilizing a fully automated approach based on adversarial imitation learning. High-level task objectives that the character should perform can be specified by relatively simple reward functions, while the low-level style of the character's behaviors can be specified by a dataset of unstructured motion clips, without any explicit clip selection or sequencing. These motion clips are used to train an adversarial motion prior, which specifies style-rewards for training the character through reinforcement learning (RL). The adversarial RL procedure automatically selects which motion to perform, dynamically interpolating and generalizing from the dataset. Our system produces high-quality motions that are comparable to those achieved by state-of-the-art tracking-based techniques, while also being able to easily accommodate large datasets of unstructured motion clips. Composition of disparate skills emerges automatically from the motion prior, without requiring a high-level motion planner or other task-specific annotations of the motion clips. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework on a diverse cast of complex simulated characters and a challenging suite of motor control tasks.

description: Background: This article takes the form of a yarn between Gunditj Mirring Elder, Aunty Eileen Alberts and Jock Gilbert on a journey through time and place on Country in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed cultural landscapes of Budj Bim in western Victoria. The article was commissioned by Landscape Australia Editor Emily Wong as a piece exploring the concept of place and challenging non-indigenous landscape architect practicitoners to understand and reflect upon their own place in relation to Indigenous knowledge systems. The essay explores a developing body of research around the ways in which non-indigenous design practitioners can respond to issues of sovereignty through Indigenous-led approaches, challenging the profession to make a place in a national discourse of social, environmental and cultural justice.

Contribution: This article makes contributions and generates new knowledge on several levels. It is structured using Indigenous knowledge techniques and provides the place for the voice of an Indigenous knowledge-holder, Aunty Eileen. The article explores notions of Country, place and landscape through both traditional Story and contemporary lived experience invites an engagement that grounds non-linear approaches and attitudes to the world as a precursor to action. The article outlines the ways that the Budj Bim development provides a template for the demonstration of connection to Country through enterprise development, which is infused with the past, embedded in the present and looking to the future.

Significance: Landscape Australia is the pre-eminent quarterly journal addressing issues of national significance through landscape endorsed by the AIA, PIA and AILDM. Articles are archived in major databases including Informit Australian Public Affairs Full Text and the journal is listed in Ulrichs Global Serials Directory. The review was also published online.

description: We aim at advancing open-vocabulary object detection, which detects objects described by arbitrary text inputs. The fundamental challenge is the availability of training data. It is costly to further scale up the number of classes contained in existing object detection datasets. To overcome this challenge, we propose ViLD, a training method via Vision and Language knowledge Distillation. Our method distills the knowledge from a pretrained open-vocabulary image classification model (teacher) into a two-stage detector (student). Specifically, we use the teacher model to encode category texts and image regions of object proposals. Then we train a student detector, whose region embeddings of detected boxes are aligned with the text and image embeddings inferred by the teacher. We benchmark on LVIS by holding out all rare categories as novel categories that are not seen during training. ViLD obtains 16.1 mask AP$_r$ with a ResNet-50 backbone, even outperforming the supervised counterpart by 3.8. When trained with a stronger teacher model ALIGN, ViLD achieves 26.3 AP$_r$. The model can directly transfer to other datasets without finetuning, achieving 72.2 AP$_{50}$ on PASCAL VOC, 36.6 AP on COCO and 11.8 AP on Objects365. On COCO, ViLD outperforms the previous state-of-the-art by 4.8 on novel AP and 11.4 on overall AP.

description: Recent works by Bravyi, Gosset and König (Science 2018), Bene Watts et al. (STOC 2019), Coudron, Stark and Vidick (QIP 2019) and Le Gall (CCC 2019) have shown unconditional separations between the computational powers of shallow (i.e., small-depth) quantum and classical circuits: quantum circuits can solve in constant depth computational problems that require logarithmic depth to solve with classical circuits. Using quantum error correction, Bravyi, Gosset, König and Tomamichel (Nature Physics 2020) further proved that a similar separation still persists even if quantum circuits are subject to local stochastic noise. In this paper, we consider the case where any constant fraction of the qubits (for instance, huge blocks of qubits) may be arbitrarily corrupted at the end of the computation. We make a first step forward towards establishing a quantum advantage even in this extremely challenging setting: we show that there exists a computational problem that can be solved in constant depth by a quantum circuit but such that even solving any large subproblem of this problem requires logarithmic depth with bounded fan-in classical circuits. This gives another compelling evidence of the computational power of quantum shallow circuits. In order to show our result, we consider the Graph State Sampling problem (which was also used in prior works) on expander graphs. We exploit the "robustness" of expander graphs against vertex corruption to show that a subproblem hard for small-depth classical circuits can still be extracted from the output of the corrupted quantum circuit.

description: Background: Primary care and other health services have been disrupted during the COVID-19 pandemic, yet the consequences of these service disruptions on patients’ care experiences remain largely unstudied. People with mental-physical multimorbidity are vulnerable to the effects of the pandemic, and to sudden service disruptions. It is thus essential to better understand how their care experiences have been impacted by the current pandemic. This study aims to improve understanding of the care experiences of people with mental-physical multimorbidity during the pandemic and identify strategies to enhance these experiences. Methods: We will conduct a mixed-methods study with multi-phase approach involving four distinct phases. Phase 1 will be a qualitative descriptive study in which we interview individuals with mental-physical multimorbidity and health professionals in order to explore the impacts of the pandemic on care experiences, as well as their perspectives on how care can be improved. The results of this phase will inform the design of study phases 2 and 3. Phase 2 will involve journey mapping exercises with a sub-group of participants with mental-physical multimorbidity to visually map out their care interactions and experiences over time and the critical moments that shaped their experiences. Phase 3 will involve an online, cross-sectional survey of care experiences administered to a larger group of people with mental disorders and/or chronic physical conditions. In phase 4, deliberative dialogues will be held with key partners to discuss and plan strategies for improving the delivery of care to people with mental-physical multimorbidity. Pre-dialogue workshops will enable us to synthesize an prepare the results from the previous three study phases. Discussion: Our study results will generate much needed evidence of the positive and negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the care experiences of people with mental-physical multimorbidity and shed light on strategies that could improve care quality and experiences.

description: Non-Hermiticity enriches the 10-fold Altland-Zirnbauer symmetry class into the 38-fold symmetry class, where critical behavior of the Anderson transitions (ATs) has been extensively studied recently. Here, we propose a correspondence of the universality classes of the ATs between Hermitian and non-Hermitian systems. We illustrate that the critical exponents of the length scale in non-Hermitian systems coincide with the critical exponents in the corresponding Hermitian systems with additional chiral symmetry. A remarkable consequence of the correspondence is superuniversality, i.e., the ATs in some different symmetry classes of non-Hermitian systems are characterized by the same critical exponent. In addition to the comparisons between the known critical exponents for non-Hermitian systems and their Hermitian counterparts, we obtain the critical exponents in symmetry classes AI, AII, AII$^{\dagger}$, CII$^{\dagger}$, and DIII in two and three dimensions. Estimated critical exponents are consistent with the proposed correspondence. According to the correspondence, some of the exponents also give useful information of the unknown critical exponents in Hermitian systems, paving a way to study the ATs of Hermitian systems by the corresponding non-Hermitian systems.

Europe in hard times: driving institutional change during the Eurozone crisis

Subjects: JA Political science (General)

description: The goal of this research is to provide a mid-range rationalist explanation of the dynamics of institutional change occurred in the European Union during the sovereign debt crisis. My starting hypothesis is that the crisis may represent a driving force for the emergence of major institutional changes. Moreover, I claim that the policy outcomes adopted are not a pure reflection of actors' bargaining powers, but they are decidedly mediated by the existent institutional rules, and the decision making process behind their adoption, i.e. intergovernmental or supranational, can be determinant for their successfulness. Taking stock of the institutional changes occurred between 2010 and 2014, the research aims at understanding whether the Eurozone crisis triggered a deepening of the European integration, reflected by any eventual upload of authority from the national to the supranational level. In order to assess these issues, I analyze three different economic policies, namely the progressive strengthening of the rules of fiscal discipline, the creation of the financial instruments to support member States in need and the progressive setup of a banking union in the EU. For each issue area, I search empirical validation of my starting hypotheses and I apply an original index to measure the "rate of supranationalism" of different aspects of the policy. By comparing the institutional setup before and after the crisis, I am able to provide an assessment of the eventual supranationalization of each single policy, then of the EU as a whole. My findings offer a substantive empirical validation of the leading hypotheses. Namely, I demonstrate that the timing of adoption of major policy outcomes is strongly related to the most acute phases of the crisis in terms of financial markets' pressure. Moreover, I show that intergovernmental policy making tends to create only incremental outcomes and even institutional deadlocks, while supranational decision making produces more effective outcomes. Finally, the application of the original index suggests that over the last years the European integration undertook a deepening process, resulting in a widening of the scope of supranational policies, an intensification of EU institutions' powers as well as different forms of authority delegation to supranational bodies. These patterns of supranationalization were mainly driven by the pressure of financial markets and by the necessity of overcoming the institutional deadlocks engendered by intergovernmental negotiations, demonstrating that the Eurozone crisis has represented a political momentum for transformative institutional changes in the EU.

description: BACKGROUND:
This outlines the relationships between the traditional knowledge of the Goolarabaloo people of the west Kimberley and contemporary landscape knowledge, exploring a developing body of research in which landscape, as a constructed idea, separates us from our environment – with often drastic consequences for our world. The landscape architecture discipline at RMIT has a longstanding relationship with the Goolarabaloo people with students and staff joining the annual Lurujarri Dreaming Trail with this providing the context for the essay.

CONTRIBUTION: The essay makes contributions and generates new knowledge on several levels. In the essay, landscape is explored through the condition of water and advances the argument that landscape practice might be enriched by moving away from the notion that as practitioners we are somehow at a remove from it as a medium – further explored through the notion of walking as a means through which to read landscape. Further to this, the essay posits that consideration of water (as both a seasonal condition and as an ephemeral landscape element) through an Aboriginal understanding provides a means through which to move away from homogenising impulses of practice. The particularities of water provide insight into notions of place.

SIGNIFICANCE: Landscape Australia is the pre-eminent quarterly journal addressing issues of national significance through landscape endorsed by the AIA, PIA and AILDM. Articles are archived in major databases including Informit Australian Public Affairs Full Text and the journal is listed in Ulrichs Global Serials Directory. Emily Wong, the editor of Landscape Australia journal, commissioned Jock Gilbert and Daniel Roe to write this work. The essay was also published online.

description: A digital quantum simulation of the Agassi model from nuclear physics is proposed and analyzed. The proposal is worked out for the case with four different sites. Numerical simulations and analytical estimations are presented to illustrate the feasibility of this proposal with current technology. The proposed approach is fully scalable to a larger number of sites. The use of a quantum correlation function as a probe to explore the quantum phases by quantum simulating the time dynamics, with no need of computing the ground state, is also studied. Evidence is given showing that the amplitude of the time dynamics of a correlation function in this quantum simulation is linked to the different quantum phases of the system. This approach establishes an avenue for the digital quantum simulation of useful models in nuclear physics.

Quantum error correction in the black hole interior

Publisher: name: Springer Berlin Heidelberg

description: We study the quantum error correction properties of the black hole interior in a toy model for an evaporating black hole: Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity entangled with a non-gravitational bath. After the Page time, the black hole interior degrees of freedom in this system are encoded in the bath Hilbert space. We use the gravitational path integral to show that the interior density matrix is correctable against the action of quantum operations on the bath which (i) do not have prior access to details of the black hole microstates, and (ii) do not have a large, negative coherent information with respect to the maximally mixed state on the bath, with the lower bound controlled by the black hole entropy and code subspace dimension. Thus, the encoding of the black hole interior in the radiation is robust against generic, low-rank quantum operations. For erasure errors, gravity comes within an O(1) distance of saturating the Singleton bound on the tolerance of error correcting codes. For typical errors in the bath to corrupt the interior, they must have a rank that is a large multiple of the bath Hilbert space dimension, with the precise coefficient set by the black hole entropy and code subspace dimension.

description: The combinatorial invariance conjecture (due independently to G. Lusztig and M. Dyer) predicts that if $[x,y]$ and $[x',y']$ are isomorphic Bruhat posets (of possibly different Coxeter systems), then the corresponding Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials are equal, that is, $P_{x,y}(q)=P_{x',y'}(q)$. We prove this conjecture for the affine Weyl group of type $\widetilde{A}_2$. This is the first infinite group with non-trivial Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials where the conjecture is proved.
description: 21 pages, 9 colored figures. The new Preliminaries section includes the new Proposition 2.5 which simplifies the proof of the Main Theorem. New background material for the affine Weyl group was included. The old Appendix was replaced by the proofs of Propositions 3.1 and 3.3 in greater detail. The acknowledgments section was added.
