description: Researchers in the highly active field of intrusion detection largely rely on public datasets for their experimental evaluations. However, the large number of existing datasets, the discovery of previously unknown flaws therein, and the frequent publication of new datasets make it hard to select suitable options and sufficiently understand their respective limitations. Hence, there is a great risk of drawing invalid conclusions from experimental results with respect to detection performance of novel methods in the real world. While there exist various surveys on intrusion detection datasets, they have deficiencies in providing researchers with a profound decision basis since they lack comprehensiveness, actionable details, and up-to-dateness. In this paper, we present COMIDDS, an ongoing effort to comprehensively survey intrusion detection datasets with an unprecedented level of detail, implemented as a website backed by a public GitHub repository. COMIDDS allows researchers to quickly identify suitable datasets depending on their requirements and provides structured and critical information on each dataset, including actual data samples and links to relevant publications. COMIDDS is freely accessible, regularly updated, and open to contributions.

description: Effective characterisation of the brain grey matter cytoarchitecture with quantitative sensitivity to soma density and volume remains an unsolved challenge in diffusion MRI (dMRI). Solving the problem of relating the dMRI signal with cytoarchitectural characteristics calls for the definition of a mathematical model that describes brain tissue via a handful of physiologically-relevant parameters and an algorithm for inverting the model. To address this issue, we propose a new forward model, specifically a new system of equations, requiring a few relatively sparse b-shells. We then apply modern tools from Bayesian analysis known as likelihood-free inference (LFI) to invert our proposed model. As opposed to other approaches from the literature, our algorithm yields not only an estimation of the parameter vector $θ$ that best describes a given observed data point $x_0$, but also a full posterior distribution $p(θ|x_0)$ over the parameter space. This enables a richer description of the model inversion, providing indicators such as credible intervals for the estimated parameters and a complete characterization of the parameter regions where the model may present indeterminacies. We approximate the posterior distribution using deep neural density estimators, known as normalizing flows, and fit them using a set of repeated simulations from the forward model. We validate our approach on simulations using dmipy and then apply the whole pipeline on two publicly available datasets.
Bioactive peptides and protein hydrolysates : research trends and challenges for application as nutraceuticals and functional food ingredients
Creators: name: Li-Chan, Eunice
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: The past decade has seen a burgeoning of literature on food-derived peptides and protein hydrolysates with diverse biological activities, but to date, empirical and bioinformatics studies have provided primarily in vitro data and limited clinical evidence to justify the development of these bioactive peptides and hydrolysates as nutraceuticals and functional foods for promoting health. Several obstacles must be overcome on the road to commercialization of these products. In conjunction with the need to implement efficient and cost-effective strategies for industrial scale production, the successful transfer of the technology to market requires standardization of analytical methods for assurance of product quality, assessment of sensory properties for consumer acceptance, and most importantly, well-designed clinical trials to provide robust evidence for supporting health claims.

description: The doped topological insulator $A_{x}\mathrm{Bi_{2}Se_{3}}$, with $A=\{\mathrm{Cu},\mathrm{Sr},\mathrm{Nb}\}$, becomes a nematic superconductor below $T_{c}\sim3-4\,\mathrm{K}$. The associated electronic nematic director is described by an angle $α$ and is experimentally manifested in the elliptical shape of the in-plane critical magnetic field $H_{c2}$. Because of the threefold rotational symmetry of the lattice, $α$ is expected to align with one of three high-symmetry directions corresponding to the in-plane nearest-neighbor bonds, consistent with a $Z_{3}$-Potts nematic transition. Here, we show that the nematic coupling to the acoustic phonons, which makes the nematic correlation length tend to diverge along certain directions only, can fundamentally alter this phenomenology in trigonal lattices. Compared to hexagonal lattices, the former possesses a sixth independent elastic constant $c_{14}$ due to the fact that the in-plane shear strain doublet $(ε_{xx}-ε_{yy},-2ε_{xy})$ and the out-of-plane shear strain doublet $(2ε_{yz},-2ε_{xz})$ transform as the same irreducible representation. We find that, when $c_{14}$ overcomes a threshold value, which is expected to be the case in doped $\mathrm{Bi_{2}Se_{3}}$, the nematic director $α$ unlocks from the high-symmetry directions due to the competition between the quadratic phonon-mediated interaction and the cubic nematic anharmonicity. This implies the breaking of the residual in-plane twofold rotational symmetry ($C_{2x}$), resulting in a triclinic phase. We discuss the implications of these findings to the structure of nematic domains and to the shape of the in-plane $H_{c2}$ in $A_{x}\mathrm{Bi_{2}Se_{3}}$, and to presence of nodes inside the superconducting state.

description: The effects of the spatiotemporal degrees of freedom on the practical implementation of an SU(1,1) interferometry is investigated. A recently developed Wigner functional approach is used to obtain the phase sensitivity of such an SU(1,1) interferometry in terms of all the spatiotemporal degrees of freedom. It reveals how experimental scale parameters affect the performance of the interferometer. The analysis provides information that would be useful for quantum metrology applications.

description: An experimental search for variation in the fundamental coupling constants is strongly motivated by modern high-energy physics theories. Comparison of quasar (QSO) absorption-line spectra with laboratory spectra provides a sensitive probe for variability of the fine-structure constant, α, over cosmological time-scales. We have previously developed and applied a new method providing an order-of-magnitude gain in precision over previous optical astrophysical constraints. Here we extend that work by including new quasar spectra of damped Lyman-α absorption systems. We also reanalyse our previous lower-redshift data and confirm our initial results. The constraints on α come from simultaneous fitting of absorption lines of subsets of the following species: Mg I, Mg II, Al II, Al III, Si II, Cr II, Fe II, Ni II and Zn II. We present a detailed description of our methods and results based on an analysis of 49 quasar absorption systems (towards 28 QSOs) covering the redshift range 0.5 < z < 3.5. There is statistical evidence for a smaller α at earlier epochs: Δα/α = (-0.72 ± 0.18) × 10-5. The new and original samples are independent but separately yield consistent and significant non-zero values of Δα/α. We summarize the results of a thorough investigation of systematic effects published in a companion paper. The value we quote above is the raw value, not corrected for any of these systematic effects. The only significant systematic effects so far identified, if removed from our data, would lead to a more significant deviation of Δα/α from zero.

description: We study the information dynamics between the largest Bitcoin exchange markets during the bubble in 2017-2018. By analysing high-frequency market-microstructure observables with different information theoretic measures for dynamical systems, we find temporal changes in information sharing across markets. In particular, we study the time-varying components of predictability, memory, and synchronous coupling, measured by transfer entropy, active information storage, and multi-information. By comparing these empirical findings with several models we argue that some results could relate to intra-market and inter-market regime shifts, and changes in direction of information flow between different market observables.
Meta-analysis of human methylomes reveals stably methylated sequences surrounding CpG islands associated with high gene expression

description: Background: DNA methylation is thought to play an important role in the regulation of mammalian gene expression, partly based on the observation that a lack of CpG island methylation in gene promoters is associated with high transcriptional activity. However, the CpG island methylation level only accounts for a fraction of the variance in gene expression, and methylation in other domains is hypothesized to play a role. We hypothesized that regions of very high stability in methylation would exist and provide biological insight into the role of methylation both within and outside CpG islands. Results: We set out to identify highly stable regions in the human methylome, based on the subset of CpGs assayed with an Illumina Infinium 450 K array. Using 1,737 samples from 30 publically available studies, we identified 15,224 CpGs that are ‘ultrastable’ in their state across tissues and developmental stages (974 always methylated; 14,250 always unmethylated). Further analysis of ultrastable CpGs led us to identify a novel subset of CpG islands, ‘ravines’, which exhibit a markedly consistent pattern of low methylation with highly methylated flanking shores and shelves. We distinguish ravines from other CpG islands characterized by a broader flanking region of low methylation. Interestingly, ravines are associated with higher gene expression compared to typical unmethylated CpG islands, and are more often found near housekeeping genes. Conclusions: The identification of ultrastable sites in the human methylome led us to identify a subclass of CpG islands characterized by a very stable pattern of methylation encompassing the island and flanking regions, established early in development and maintained through differentiation. This pattern is associated with particularly high levels of gene expression, providing new evidence that methylation beyond the CpG island could play a role in gene expression.
Design of pre-stressed plate-strips to cover non-developable shells

description: In this paper we address the following design problem: what is the shape of a plate and the associated pre-stress that relaxes toward a given three-dimensional shell? As isometric transformations conserve the gaussian curvature, three-dimensional non-developable shells cannot be obtained from the relaxation of pre-strained plates by using isometric transformations only. Overcoming this geometric restriction, including small-strains and large rotations, solves the problem for small areas only. This paper dispenses with the small-area restriction to cover three-dimensional shells fully by using shell-strips. Since shell-strips have an additional geometric parameter, we show that under suitable assumptions that relate the width of the strip to the curvature of the shell, we are able to design arbitrary shell surfaces by covering them with shell-strips. As an illustration, we provide optimized covers of the sphere in a variety of different surface-strips relaxed from plate-strips with homogeneous and isotropic pre-stress. Moveover, we propose the design of the torus, of the helicoid and of the non-developable Möbius band, which requires inhomogeneous and anisotropic pre-stress.

description: The recently developed Doppler spectroscopy diagnostic has been used to evaluate the height of the ambipolar potential barrier forming in the gas dynamic trap (GDT) plasma between the central cell and the region with a large magnetic expansion ratio beyond the mirror. The diagnostic technique based on the gas jet charge exchange target, allowed to measure the potential profile along the line of sight covering the radial range from the axis to the limiter. The on-axis potential drop was found to be $2.6 ÷3.1$ in units of the central plane electron temperature, which supports the existing theoretical understanding of suppression of electron thermal conductivity in the GDT expander.

description: Sparse model identification enables the discovery of nonlinear dynamical systems purely from data; however, this approach is sensitive to noise, especially in the low-data limit. In this work, we leverage the statistical approach of bootstrap aggregating (bagging) to robustify the sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics (SINDy) algorithm. First, an ensemble of SINDy models is identified from subsets of limited and noisy data. The aggregate model statistics are then used to produce inclusion probabilities of the candidate functions, which enables uncertainty quantification and probabilistic forecasts. We apply this ensemble-SINDy (E-SINDy) algorithm to several synthetic and real-world data sets and demonstrate substantial improvements to the accuracy and robustness of model discovery from extremely noisy and limited data. For example, E-SINDy uncovers partial differential equations models from data with more than twice as much measurement noise as has been previously reported. Similarly, E-SINDy learns the Lotka Volterra dynamics from remarkably limited data of yearly lynx and hare pelts collected from 1900-1920. E-SINDy is computationally efficient, with similar scaling as standard SINDy. Finally, we show that ensemble statistics from E-SINDy can be exploited for active learning and improved model predictive control.

 Material studied: Holotype: 1.1 mm high, 1.5 mm broad, ZMH 140694; paratypes: 3 ZMH 140695, 3 in coll. Mabrouki, 3 in coll. Glöer.
 Type locality: Morocco, Zerrouka, Ifran province, 33°32'35.7"N 5°05'42.7"W, 14.02.2020 leg.
 Etymology: Named after the type locality.
 Habitat: Zerrouka is a rheocenous natural spring, partially modified, located at Ifran province at an altitude of 1613 m above sea level. The grain size of the bottom consists of stones, pebbles sand and sometimes silt and plant debris. The spring water feeds the Zerrouka lake, a small artificial fish pond classified as a site of biological and ecological interest (SIBE). It is located on the Zerrouka River, the main tributary of the Tizguite wadi. The dam is located about 300m from the source, so that the water from the spring flows directly in it. The reservoir is limited by a concrete wall, at least on the west bank. The aquatic and riparian vegetation at lake level is quite varied. The spring waters are used to supply the town of Ifrane with drinking water. The banks are subjected to a strong anthropic pressure, mainly by trampling cattle.

description: The particle and spin transport through a quantum point contact between two Fermi gases with Raman-induced spin-orbit coupling are investigated. We show that the particle and spin conductances both demonstrate the structure of plateau due to the mesoscopic scale of the quantum point contact. Compared with the normal Fermi gases the particle conductance can be significantly enhanced by the spin-orbit coupling effect. Furthermore, the conversion of the particle and spin currents can take place in the spin-orbit coupled system, and we find that it is controlled by the parameter of two-photon detuning. When the parameter of two-photon detuning vanishes the particle and spin currents decouple.

description: In the exothermic process of fission decay, an atomic nucleus splits into two or more independent fragments. Several aspects of nuclear fission are not properly understood, in particular the formation of the neck between the nascent fragments, and the subsequent mechanism of scission into two or more independent fragments. Using an implementation of time-dependent density functional theory, based on a relativistic energy density functional and including pairing correlations, we analyze the final phase of the process of induced fission of $^{240}$Pu, and show that the time-scale of neck formation coincides with the assembly of two $α$-like clusters (less than 1 zs = 10$^{-21}$ s). Because of its much larger binding energy, the dynamical synthesis of 4He in the neck predominates over other light clusters, e.g., $^3$H and $^6$He. At the instant of scission the neck ruptures exactly between the two $α$-like clusters, which separate because of the Coulomb repulsion and are eventually absorbed by the two emerging fragments. The newly proposed mechanism of light charged clusters formation at scission provides a natural explanation of ternary fission.

description: Touch surfaces are widely utilized for smartphones, tablet PCs, and laptops (touchpad), and single and double taps are the most basic and common operations on them. The detection of single or double taps causes the single-tap latency problem, which creates a bottleneck in terms of the sensitivity of touch inputs. To reduce the single-tap latency, we propose a novel machine-learning-based tap prediction method called PredicTaps. Our method predicts whether a detected tap is a single tap or the first contact of a double tap without having to wait for the hundreds of milliseconds conventionally required. We present three evaluations and one user evaluation that demonstrate its broad applicability and usability for various tap situations on two form factors (touchpad and smartphone). The results showed PredicTaps reduces the single-tap latency from 150-500 ms to 12 ms on laptops and to 17.6 ms on smartphones without reducing usability.

title: Application of Deep Learning and Cortical Flat Mapping for the early detection of Alzheimer's Disease
Creators: name: Menikdiwela, Medhani
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2025

description: This thesis explores the application of deep learning to neuroimaging data for the purpose of detecting Alzheimer's disease. Initially designed for small object de- tection, our deep learning and visualisation methodologies were extended to multi- dimensional Cortical Flat Maps extracted from neuroimaging data. The initial phase involved developing deep learning models and visualisation tech- niques for small object detection, validated across diverse datasets ranging from spiders to road signs. Through extensive experimentation, we identified VGG16 as the most accurate model for this data type, achieving an 84% test accuracy com- pared to Faster RCNN with 75% test accuracy. Additionally, our novel visualisation method Feature Activation Mapping (FAM) surpassed the performance of the stan- dard CAM technique. These experiments informed the selection of suitable deep learning and visualisation methods for neuroimaging data. In our neuroimaging experiments, we introduced a 2D mapping approach to capture multi dimensional cortical information, including thickness, surface area, and cur- vature, a first application of deep learning to neuroimaging data of this kind. The first neuroimaging experiment focused on applying previously developed deep networks to a one-dimensional Cortical Flat Map representing cortical thickness, achieving a 75% accuracy in classifying sex (male/female) using a CNN with an incorporated Support Vector Machine (SVM) layer. The second neuroimaging experiment extended the deep learning methods to a three-dimensional cortical flat map, including curvature and surface area. Applied to neuroimaging data for disease classification, specifically the detection of early Alzheimer's Disease (Mild Cognitive Impairment), this approach demonstrated in- creased accuracy compared to two-dimensional brain slice data. In the final neuroimaging experiment, a novel method for identifying Alzheimer's disease related brain regions was developed, combining deep learning methods, the novel flat mapping approach, and a masking method. We identified brain regions that may be related to the early detection of Alzheimer's disease. To summarise, this thesis introduces three novel methods tailored for the application of deep learning techniques in neuroimaging data for disease classification. Prelimi- nary results are promising, suggesting the potential clinical utility of these domain- specific deep learning methodologies with further refinement and exploration.

description: How self-organization leads to the emergence of structure in social populations remains a fascinating and open question in the study of complex systems. One frequently observed structure that emerges again and again across systems is that of self-similar community, i.e., homophily. We use a game theoretic perspective to explore a case in which individuals choose affiliation partnerships based on only two factors: the value they place on having social contacts, and their risk tolerance for exposure to threat derived from social contact (e.g., infectious disease, threatening ideas, etc.). We show how diversity along just these two influences are sufficient to cause the emergence of self-organizing homophily in the population. We further consider a case in which extrinsic social factors influence the desire to maintain particular social ties, and show the robustness of emergent homophilic patterns to these additional influences. These results demonstrate how observable population-level homophily may arise out of individual behaviors that balance the value of social contacts against the potential risks associated with those contacts. We present and discuss these results in the context of outbreaks of infectious disease in human populations. Complementing the standard narrative about how social division alters epidemiological risk, we here show how epidemiological risk may deepen social divisions in human populations.

description: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a disease which is associated with random and often unpredictable attacks of painful swelling typically affecting the extremities, bowel mucosa, genitals, face and upper airway. Attacks are associated with significant functional impairment, decreased Health Related Quality of Life, and mortality in the case of laryngeal attacks. Caring for patients with HAE can be challenging due to the complexity of this disease. The care of patients with HAE in Canada is neither optimal nor uniform across the country. It lags behind other countries where there are more organized models for HAE management, and where additional therapeutic options are licensed and available for use. The objective of this guideline is to provide graded recommendations for the management of patients in Canada with HAE. This includes the treatment of attacks, short-term prophylaxis, long-term prophylaxis, and recommendations for self-administration, individualized therapy, quality of life, and comprehensive care. It is anticipated that by providing this guideline to caregivers, policy makers, patients and their advocates, that there will be an improved understanding of the current recommendations regarding management of HAE and the factors that need to be considered when choosing therapies and treatment plans for individual patients. The primary target users of this guideline are healthcare providers who are managing patients with HAE. Other healthcare providers who may use this guideline are emergency physicians, gastroenterologists, dentists and otolaryngologists, who will encounter patients with HAE and need to be aware of this condition. Hospital administrators, insurers and policy makers may also find this guideline helpful.

Year: 2024

description: Management of system requirements and system architectures is part of any software engineering project. But it is usually very tedious and error prone. In particular, managing the traceability between system requirements and system architectures is critical but difficult. The article introduces a tool, TRAM, for managing system requirements, system architectures and more importantly the traceability between them. Its primary design objective is “being practical” and ready for practitioners to use without much overhead. The issues discussed in the paper include an information model that underlies the capture of requirements, architectures and their traceability, a set of document templates implementing the information model, and the support tool.

description: In this paper, we bring together our efforts in identifying and understanding nonequilibrium phase segregation driven by active processes in the living cell, with special focus on the segregation of cell membrane components driven by active contractile stresses arising from cortical actomyosin. This also has implications for active segregation dynamics in membraneless regions within the cytoplasm and nucleus (3d). We formulate an active version of the Flory-Huggins theory that incorporates a contribution from fluctuating active stresses. Apart from knitting together some of our past theoretical work in a comprehensive narrative, we highlight some new results, and establish a correspondence with recent studies on Active Model B/B+. We point to the many unusual aspects of the dynamics of active phase segregation, such as (i) anomalous growth dynamics, (ii) coarsening accompanied by propulsion and coalescence of domains that exhibit nonreciprocal effects, (iii) segregation into mesoscale domains, (iv) emergence of a nonequilibrium phase segregated steady state characterised by strong macroscopic fluctuations (fluctuation dominated phase ordering (FDPO)), and (v) mesoscale segregation even above the equilibrium Tc. Apart from its implications for actively driven segregation of binary fluids, these ideas are at the heart of an Active Emulsion description of the lateral organisation of molecules on the plasma membrane of living cells, whose full molecular elaboration appears elsewhere.

description: Many-body-localized (MBL) phases can be topologically distinct, but distinguishing these phases using order parameters can be challenging. Here we show how topologically distinct local integrals of motion, variationally parametrized by quantum circuits, can be used to numerically demonstrate the topological inequivalence of MBL phases. We illustrate our approach on a fermionic chain where both topologically distinct MBL phases and benchmark comparisons to order parameters are possible. We also use our approach, augmented by the DMRG-X algorithm, to extract high-energy topological doublets. We describe applying our methods to higher dimensions to identify MBL topological order and topological multiplets hidden by the dense many-body spectrum.

description: In this paper, I argue that deontic modals can be relativized on a par with epis-
 temic modals, contrary to what is generally believed (see, for instance, Rett 2016).
 The evidence comes from the behaviour of Russian deontic modals under negation.
 In Russian, these constructions have an aspectual restriction: they are well-formed
 with the imperfective, but not with the perfective aspect. This restriction, however,
 can be circumvented when the modal is relativized to the addressee rather than
 the subject. This obviation effect shows that the relativization of the deontic modal
 base (i.e. whose obligations are relevant) is not a function of the context, but is
 rather encoded in the grammar. The analysis is implemented within the grammati-
 calized speech act system (Speas & Tenny 2003, Wiltschko 2017, a.o.). The account
 proposed here is extended to imperatives providing support for the presence of a
 deontic component in imperatives (Han 1999; Ninan 2005; Kaufmann 2012 a.o.). I
 also discuss cross-Slavic variation when it comes to the aspectual restriction with
 deontic modals and imperatives.

description: Fessia aouintii n. sp. (fig. 3)
 Material studied: Holotype: H = 0.7 mm, D = 1.2 mm, ZMH 140696; 5 paratypes (ZMH 140697), 6 in coll. Mebrouki, 3 in coll. Glöer.
 Type locality: Morocco, Aouinat El Hajjaj, Fez prefecture, 34°01'39.1"N 4°58'24.1"W, 16.02.2020 leg.
 Etymology: Named after the type locality.
 Habitat: Aouinat El Hajjaj is a rheocenous natural spring, located at Fez prefectur at an altitude of 409 m above sea level. The grain size of the bottom consists of stones, pebbles and sand, the vegetation of the banks is very heterogeneous and highly disturbed. Located in the Oued Wisslane watershed near a weekly market ‘souk’, which has subjected it to very strong anthropogenic action, through solid and liquid waste, habitat loss and water abstraction. In addition, the entire area could be suffering from agricultural runoff and drainage of water. Consequently, the population of Fessia aouintii n. gen. n. sp. would be highly vulnerable, and it is arguably the most threatened hydrobid of Morocco. Major efforts are needed for its conservation, including studies on its biological and ecological knowledge.

Computing the solutions of the van der Pol equation to arbitrary precision

description: We describe an extension of the Taylor method for the numerical solution of ODEs that uses Padé approximants to obtain extremely precise numerical results. The accuracy of the results is essentially limited only by the computer time and memory, provided that one works in arbitrary precision. In this method the stepsize is adjusted to achieve the desired accuracy (variable stepsize), while the order of the Taylor expansion can be either fixed or changed at each iteration (variable order). As an application, we have calculated the periodic solutions (limit cycle) of the van der Pol equation with an unprecedented accuracy for a large set of couplings (well beyond the values currently found in the literature) and we have used these numerical results to validate the asymptotic behavior of the period, of the amplitude and of the Lyapunov exponent reported in the literature. We have also used the numerical results to infer the formulas for the asymptotic behavior of the fast component of the period and of the maximum velocity, which have never been calculated before.

$N$-double poles solutions for nonlocal Hirota equation with nonzero boundary conditions using Riemann-Hilbert method and PINN algorithm

description: We systematically investigate the nonlocal Hirota equation with nonzero boundary conditions via Riemann-Hilbert method and multi-layer physics-informed neural networks algorithm. Starting from the Lax pair of nonzero nonlocal Hirota equation, we first give out the Jost function, scattering matrix, their symmetry and asymptotic behavior. Then, the Riemann-Hilbert problem with nonzero boundary conditions are constructed and the precise formulaes of $N$-double poles solutions and $N$-simple poles solutions are written by determinants. Different from the local Hirota equation, the symmetry of scattering data for nonlocal Hirota equation is completely different, which results in disparate discrete spectral distribution. In particular, it could be more complicated and difficult to obtain the symmetry of scattering data under the circumstance of double poles. Besides, we also analyse the asymptotic state of one-double poles solution as $t\rightarrow \infty$. Whereafter, the PINN algorithm is applied to research the data-driven soliton solutions of the nonzero nonlocal Hirota equation by using the training data obtained from the Riemann-Hilbert method. Most strikingly, the integrable nonlocal equation is firstly solved via PINN algorithm. As we all know, the nonlocal equations contain the $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry $\mathcal{P}:x\rightarrow -x,$ or $\mathcal{T}:t\rightarrow -t,$ which are different with local ones. Adding the nonlocal term into the NN, we can successfully solve the integrable nonlocal Hirota equation by PINN algorithm. The numerical results indicate the algorithm can well recover the data-driven soliton solutions of the integrable nonlocal equation. Noteworthily, the inverse problems of the integrable nonlocal equation are discussed for the first time through applying the PINN algorithm to discover the parameters of the equation in terms of its soliton solution.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: We report a droplet to a soliton crossover by tuning the external confinement potential in a dilute Bose-Eienstein condensate by numerically solving the modified Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The testimony of such a crossover is presented via studying the fractional density of the condensate which smoothly migrates from being a flat-head curve at weak confinement to a bright soliton at strong confinement. Such a transition occurs across a region of the potential whose strength varies over an order of magnitude and thus should be fit to be termed as a crossover. We supplement our studies via exploring the size of the bound pairs and the ramifications of the particle density therein. Eventually, all of these aid us in arriving at a phase diagram in a space defined by the trap strength and the particle number that shows the formation of two phases consisting of droplets and solitons, along with a regime of coexistence of these two.
