description: We study the statistical properties of first-passage Brownian functionals (FPBFs) of an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process in the presence of stochastic resetting. We consider a one dimensional set-up where the diffusing particle sets off from $x_0$ and resets to $x_R$ at a certain rate $r$. The particle diffuses in a harmonic potential (with strength $k$) which is centered around the origin. The center also serves as an absorbing boundary for the particle and we denote the first passage time of the particle to the center as $t_f$. In this set-up, we investigate the following functionals: (i) local time $T_{loc} = \int _0^{t_f}d τ~ δ(x-x_R)$ i.e., the time a particle spends around $x_R$ until the first passage, (ii) occupation or residence time $T_{res} = \int _0^{t_f} d τ~θ(x-x_R)$ i.e., the time a particle typically spends above $x_R$ until the first passage and (iii) the first passage time $t_f$ to the origin. We employ the Feynman-Kac formalism for renewal process to derive the analytical expression for the first moment of all the three FPBFs mentioned above. In particular, we find that resetting can either prolong or shorten the mean residence and first passage time depending on the system parameters. The transition between these two behaviors or phases can be characterized precisely in terms of optimal resetting rates, which interestingly undergo a continuous transition as we vary the trap stiffness $k$. We characterize this transition and identify the critical -parameter \& -coefficient for both the cases. We also showcase other interesting interplay between the resetting rate and potential strength on the statistics of these observables. Our analytical results are in excellent agreement with the numerical simulations.

description: The basic reproduction number, $R_0$, is a well-known quantifier of epidemic spread. However, a class of existing methods for estimating $R_0$ from incidence data early in the epidemic can lead to an over-estimation of this quantity. In particular, when fitting deterministic models to estimate the rate of spread, we do not account for the stochastic nature of epidemics and that, given the same system, some outbreaks may lead to epidemics and some may not. Typically, an observed epidemic that we wish to control is a major outbreak. This amounts to implicit selection for major outbreaks which leads to the over-estimation problem. We formally characterised the split between major and minor outbreaks by using Otsu's method which provides us with a working definition. We show that by conditioning a `deterministic' model on major outbreaks, we can more reliably estimate the basic reproduction number from an observed epidemic trajectory.

description: We explore the dynamics of a tuneable box-trapped Bose gas under strong periodic forcing in the presence of weak disorder. In absence of interparticle interactions, the interplay of the drive and disorder results in an isotropic nonthermal momentum distribution that shows subdiffusive dynamic scaling, with sublinear energy growth and the universal scaling function captured well by a compressed exponential. We explain that this subdiffusion in momentum space can naturally be understood as a random walk in energy space. We also experimentally show that for increasing interaction strength, the gas behavior smoothly crosses over to wave turbulence characterized by a power-law momentum distribution, which opens new possibilities for systematic studies of the interplay of disorder and interactions in driven quantum systems.

description: An efficient and scalable process for the synthesis of antihypercholesterolemic drug ezetimibe through chiral Evans auxiliary (S)-4-phenyl-2-oxazolidinone is described. The key steps in this process are the condensation of (S)-3-(5-(4-fluorophenyl)-5,5-dimethoxypentanoyl)-4-phenyloxazolidin-2-one and N-(4-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)benzylidene)-4-fluoroaniline, and the stereoselective reduction of ezetimibe-ketone with NaBH4/I2, which is first applied in the synthesis of ezetimibe. The process is concise, mild, easy to operate, and highly stereoselective (99.6% of de value of ezetimibe). In addition, three diastereomers of ezetimibe are synthesized and served as the references in quality control of the product.

description: We adapt reinforcement learning (RL) methods for continuous control to bridge the gap between complete ignorance and perfect knowledge of the environment. Our method, Partial Knowledge Least Squares Policy Iteration (PLSPI), takes inspiration from both model-free RL and model-based control. It uses incomplete information from a partial model and retains RL's data-driven adaption towards optimal performance. The linear quadratic regulator provides a case study; numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and resulting benefits of the proposed method.

description: Quantum algorithms for tasks such as factorization, search, and simulation rely on control flow such as branching and iteration that depends on the value of data in superposition. High-level programming abstractions for control flow, such as switches, loops, and higher-order functions, are ubiquitous in classical languages. By contrast, many quantum languages do not provide high-level abstractions for control flow in superposition, and instead require the use of hardware-level logic gates to implement such control flow.
 The reason for this gap is that whereas a classical computer supports control flow using a program counter that can depend on data, the typical architecture of a quantum computer does not provide a program counter that can depend on data in superposition. As a result, the complete set of control flow abstractions that can be correctly realized on a quantum computer has not yet been established.
 In this work, we provide a complete characterization of the properties of control flow abstractions that are correctly realizable on a quantum computer. First, we prove that even on a quantum computer whose program counter exists in superposition, one cannot correctly realize control flow in quantum algorithms by lifting the classical conditional jump instruction to work in superposition. This theorem denies the ability to directly lift general abstractions for control flow such as the $λ$-calculus from classical to quantum programming.
 In response, we present the necessary and sufficient conditions for control flow to be correctly realizable on a quantum computer. We introduce the quantum control machine, an instruction set architecture featuring a conditional jump that is restricted to satisfy these conditions. We show how this design enables a developer to correctly express control flow in quantum algorithms using a program counter in place of logic gates.

description: Titanium aminophospates have been used as catalysts in the synthesis of xanthenediones at room temperature. Among the three catalysts tested, titanium n-propyl aminophosphate (TNPAP) was found to be more efficient catalyst for the synthesis of xanthenediones. The solvent-screening studies for this catalytic reaction reveals that MeOH: H2O was the most suitable solvent system, yielding higher amounts (89%) of products. The TNPAP catalyst was found to be reusable for five successive cycles. The optimized reaction conditions are 1.0 mmol of benzaldehyde, 2.0 mmol of dimedone, methanol/water (5.0 mL) as solvent, rt, and 100 mg of TNPAP. A plausible mechanism for the catalytic reactions has been proposed.

description: Metaplectic Wigner distributions generalize the most popular time-frequency representations, such as the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and $τ$-Wigner distributions, using metaplectic operators. However, in order for a metaplectic Wigner distribution to measure local time-frequency concentration of signals, the additional property of shift-invertibility is fundamental. In addition, metaplectic atoms provide different ways to model signals. Namely, signals can be written as discrete superpositions of these operators, providing original ways to represent signals, with applications to machine learning, signal analysis, theory of pseudodifferential operators, to mention a few. Among all shift-invertible distributions, Wigner-decomposable metaplectic Wigner distributions provide the most straightforward generalization of the STFT. In this work, we focus on metaplectic atoms of Wigner-decomposable shift-invertible metaplectic distributions and characterize the associated metaplectic Gabor frames.

description: Different neural network architectures can be unsupervisedly or supervisedly trained to represent quantum states. We explore and compare different strategies for the supervised training of feed forward neural network quantum states. We empirically and comparatively evaluate the performance of feed forward neural network quantum states in different phases of matter for variants of the architecture, for different hyper-parameters, and for two different loss functions, to which we refer as \emph{mean-squared error} and \emph{overlap}, respectively. We consider the next-nearest neighbor Ising model for the diversity of its phases and focus on its paramagnetic, ferromagnetic, and pair-antiferromagnetic phases. We observe that the overlap loss function allows better training of the model across all phases, provided a rescaling of the neural network.

description: The wooden artefact known as the Chester Hand or Glove was part of a private collection gifted to the Corporation of Liverpool in 1867. The Hand bears an inscription dated 1159 but perhaps dates to the 16th or 17th century, representing the renewal of an earlier object. The symbolic meaning of hands or gloves more generally is discussed, before a documentary reference from a Chester assembly book of 1687 is quoted. This records the decision that a glove was to be hung out to give notice of an approaching fair. Some 19th century references to the hanging out of a glove in Chester are also quoted, followed by references to hands or gloves of the same kind from other towns in England. LD

description: In this paper, we investigate the usage of fine-grained font recognition on OCR for books printed from the 15th to the 18th century. We used a newly created dataset for OCR of early printed books for which fonts are labeled with bounding boxes. We know not only the font group used for each character, but the locations of font changes as well. In books of this period, we frequently find font group changes mid-line or even mid-word that indicate changes in language. We consider 8 different font groups present in our corpus and investigate 13 different subsets: the whole dataset and text lines with a single font, multiple fonts, Roman fonts, Gothic fonts, and each of the considered fonts, respectively. We show that OCR performance is strongly impacted by font style and that selecting fine-tuned models with font group recognition has a very positive impact on the results. Moreover, we developed a system using local font group recognition in order to combine the output of multiple font recognition models, and show that while slower, this approach performs better not only on text lines composed of multiple fonts but on the ones containing a single font only as well.

description: In this work, we propose a deep learning (DL)-based constitutive model for investigating the cyclic viscoelastic-viscoplastic-damage behavior of nanoparticle/epoxy nanocomposites with moisture content. For this, a long short-term memory network is trained using a combined framework of a sampling technique and a perturbation method. The training framework, along with the training data generated by an experimentally validated viscoelastic-viscoplastic model, enables the DL model to accurately capture the rate-dependent stress-strain relationship and consistent tangent moduli. In addition, the DL-based constitutive model is implemented into finite element analysis. Finite element simulations are performed to study the effect of load rate and moisture content on the force-displacement response of nanoparticle/ epoxy samples. Numerical examples show that the computational efficiency of the DL model depends on the loading condition and is significantly higher than the conventional constitutive model. Furthermore, comparing numerical results and experimental data demonstrates good agreement with different nanoparticle and moisture contents.

The X-ray binaries in M83: will any of them form gravitational wave sources for LIGO/VIRGO/KAGRA?

description: There are 214 X-ray point-sources ($L_{\rm X}>10^{35} \mathrm{erg/s}$) identified as X-ray binaries (XRBs) in the nearby spiral galaxy M83. Since XRBs are powered by accretion onto a neutron star or a black hole from a companion/donor star these systems are promising progenitors of merging double compact objects (DCOs): black hole - black hole (BH-BH), black hole - neutron star (BH-NS), or neutron star - neutron star (NS-NS) systems. The connection (i.e. XRBs evolving into DCOs) may provide some hints to the yet unanswered question: what is the origin of the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA mergers? Available observations do not allow to determine what will be the final fate of the XRBs observed in M83. Yet, we can use evolutionary model of isolated binaries to reproduce the population of XRBs in M83 by matching model XRBs numbers/types/luminosities to observations. Knowing the detailed properties of M83 model XRBs (donor/accretor masses, their evolutionary ages and orbits) we follow their evolution to the death of donor stars to check whether any merging DCOs are formed. Although all merging DCOs in our isolated binary evolution model go through the XRB phase (defined as reaching X-ray luminosity from RLOF/wind accretion onto NS/BH above $10^{35}$ erg/s), only very few XRBs evolve to form merging (in Hubble time) DCOs. For M83 with its solar-like metallicity stars and continiuous star-formation we find that only $\sim 1-2\%$ of model XRBs evolve into merging DCOs depending on the adopted evolutionary physics. This is caused by (i) merger of donor star with compact object during common envelope phase, (ii) binary disruption at the supernova explosion of donor star, (iii) formation of a DCO on a wide orbit (merger time longer than Hubble time).

description: The ongoing penetration of energy systems with information and communications technology (ICT) and the introduction of new markets increase the potential for malicious or profit-driven attacks that endanger system stability. To ensure security-of-supply, it is necessary to analyze such attacks and their underlying vulnerabilities, to develop countermeasures and improve system design. We propose ANALYSE, a machine-learning-based software suite to let learning agents autonomously find attacks in cyber-physical energy systems, consisting of the power system, ICT, and energy markets. ANALYSE is a modular, configurable, and self-documenting framework designed to find yet unknown attack types and to reproduce many known attack strategies in cyber-physical energy systems from the scientific literature.

description: The asymptotic normality of a fixed number of the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) in the directed exponential random graph models with an increasing bi-degree sequence has been established recently. In this article, we further derive a central limit theorem for a linear combination of all the MLEs with an increasing dimension. Simulation studies are provided to illustrate the asymptotic results.

description: The front-end is a critical component of English text-to-speech (TTS) systems, responsible for extracting linguistic features that are essential for a text-to-speech model to synthesize speech, such as prosodies and phonemes. The English TTS front-end typically consists of a text normalization (TN) module, a prosody word prosody phrase (PWPP) module, and a grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) module. However, current research on the English TTS front-end focuses solely on individual modules, neglecting the interdependence between them and resulting in sub-optimal performance for each module. Therefore, this paper proposes a unified front-end framework that captures the dependencies among the English TTS front-end modules. Extensive experiments have demonstrated that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in all modules.

description: This paper considers ways in which rulers can respond to, generate, or exploit fear of COVID-19 infection for various ends, and in particular distinguishes between ‘fear-invoking’ and ‘fear-minimising’ strategies. It examines historical precedent for executive overreach in crises and then moves on to look in more detail at some specific areas where fear is being mobilised or generated: in ways that lead to the suspension of civil liberties; that foster discrimination against minorities; and that boost the personality cult of leaders and limit criticism or competition. Finally, in the Appendix, we present empirical work, based on the results of an original survey in Brazil, that provides support for the conjectures in the previous sections. While it is too early to tell what the longer-term outcomes of the changes we note will be, our purpose here is simply to identify some warning signs that threaten the key institutions and values of democracy.

COVID-19 Heightens the Imperative to Decolonize Global Health Research

Publisher: name: Global Justice : Theory Practice Rhetoric
Year: 2022

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has both highlighted and exacerbated global health inequities, leading for calls for responses to COVID to promote social justice and ensure that no one is left behind. One key lesson to be learnt from the pandemic is the critical importance of decolonizing global health and global health research so that African countries are better placed to address pandemic challenges in contextually relevant ways. This paper argues that to be successful, programmes of decolonization in complex global health landscapes require a complex three-dimensional approach. Drawing on the broader discourse of political decolonization that has been going on in the African context for over a century, we present a model for unpacking the complex task of decolonization. Our approach suggests a three-dimensional approach which encompasses hegemomic; epistemic; and commitmental elements.

Responding to the Tragedies of Our Time - The Human Right to Health and the Virtue of Creative Resolve
Creators: name: Hassoun, Nicole
Publisher: name: Global Justice : Theory Practice Rhetoric
Year: 2022

description: We live in tragic times. Millions are sheltering in place to avoid exacerbating the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. How should we respond to such tragedies? This paper argues that the human right to health can help us do so because it inspires human rights advocates, claimants, and those with responsibility for fulfilling the right to try hard to satisfy its claims. That is, the right should, and often does, give rise to what I call the virtue of creative resolve. This resolve embodies a fundamental commitment to finding creative solutions to what appear to be tragic dilemmas. Contra critics, we should not reject the right even if it cannot tell us how to ration scarce health resources. Rather, the right gives us a response to apparent tragedy in motivating us to search for ways of fulfilling everyone’s basic health needs.

Realizing Justice in the Coordinated Global Coronavirus Response

description: The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting countries across the globe. Only a globally coordinated response, however, will enable the containment of the virus. Responding to a request from policy makers for ethics input for a global resource pledging event as a starting point, this paper outlines normative and procedural principles to inform a coordinated global coronavirus response. Highlighting global connections and specific vulnerabilities from the pandemic, and proposing standards for reasonable and accountable decision-making, the ambition of the paper is two-fold: to raise awareness for the justice dimensions in the global response, and to argue for moving health from the periphery to the centre of philosophical debates about social and global justice.

Reporting on African Responses to COVID-19: African Philosophical Perspectives for Addressing Quandaries in the Global Justice Debate
Creators: name: Ajei, Martin Odei
Publisher: name: Global Justice : Theory Practice Rhetoric
Year: 2022

description: The first case of COVID-19 infection in Africa was recorded in Egypt on 14 February 2020. Following this, several projections of the possible devastating effect that the virus can have on the population of African countries were made in the Western media. This paper presents evidence for Africa’s successful responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and under-reporting or misrepresentation of these successes in Western media. It proceeds to argue for accounting for these successes in terms of Africa’s communitarian way of life and conceptions of self, duty, and rights; and that a particular orientation in theorizing on global justice can highlight the injustices inherent in the misrepresentation of these successes and contribute shared perspectives to formulating a framework of values and concepts that would facilitate the implementation of global policy goals for justice. The paper is thus grounded in a rejection of the insular tenets of theorizing prevalent in the global justice debate and to persistent inclinations in Western scholarship to the thinking that theorizing in the African context that draws inspiration from the cultural past has little to contribute to the quest for justice globally. On the contrary, it argues that reflexive critique of cultural history is a necessary source of normative ideals that can foster tolerant coexistence and a cooperative endeavour toward shared conceptions of justice in the contemporary world.

description: Excavation of a cesspit yielded pottery of late 13th/early 14th century and also a sample of some 40g of organic matter which, though dried out, was successfully treated in the laboratory to yield recognisable remains. These were mainly fruit stones of bullace and sloe (Prunus domestica ssp insititia (L) C K Schneid and P spinosa L). The stones were embedded in a matrix which yielded 28 other taxa, including many food plants; the only species found in significant quantity was ground (or digested) seed fragments of Agrostemma githago L, known as a violent purgative or even abortifacient.

description: The boundary stabilization problem of the Boussinesq KdV-KdV type system is investigated in this paper. An appropriate boundary feedback law consisting of a linear combination of a damping mechanism and a delay term is designed. Then, first, considering time-varying delay feedback together with a smallness restriction on the length of the spatial domain and the initial data, we show that the problem under consideration is well-posed. The proof combines Kato's approach and the fixed-point argument. Last but not least, we prove that the energy of the linearized KdV-KdV system decays exponentially by employing the Lyapunov method.
