Uncomputability and Physical Law by Lloyd, Seth

“…In particular, the form of the energy spectrum of quantum systems capable of universal computation is uncomputable: to answer whether a Hamiltonian system is gapped or gapless in a particular sector requires one to solve the Halting problem. Finally, the problem of determining the most concise expression of physical laws requires one to determine the algorithmic complexity of those laws, and so, the answer to this problem is uncomputable.…”

REACH story of change: cleaning the tap: tap hygiene for safer drinking water by REACH

“…Evidence from Bangladesh suggests that regular cleaning of water point spouts and taps could substantially reduce this figure, even halving the number of contaminated handpumps.</p> <p>• Based on this evidence, new WHO guidance on Sanitary Inspections includes cleaning of handpump spouts for the first time. …”

A comparison of methods for forecasting value at risk and expected shortfall of cryptocurrencies by Trucíos, C, Taylor, JW

“…Those procedures are revisited in this paper, and their value at risk and expected shortfall forecasting performance are evaluated using recent Bitcoin and Ethereum data that include periods of turbulence due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the third halving of Bitcoin, and the Lexia class action. Additionally, in order to mitigate the influence of model misspecification and enhance the forecasting performance obtained by individual models, we evaluate the use of several forecast combining strategies. …”

Within-host evolution of HIV-1 and the analysis of transmissible diversity by English, SE

“…<p>The central problem for researchers of HIV-1 evolution is explaining the apparent design of the virus for causing pandemic infection in humans: understanding how HIV-1 spreads is key to halting the pandemic. Current knowledge of how HIV-1 spreads from host to host is based upon experimental observation and indirect inferences informed by theory. …”

Bisections of Mass Assignments Using Flags of Affine Spaces by Axelrod-Freed, Ilani, Soberón, Pablo
