Behaviors of floating droplet by Kan, Kah Hou

“…Investigation reveals the formation and transition of flow pattern and vorticity originates from the complex thermo-solutal Marangoni convection induced by the evaporating cap. A droplet forming two stable axis-symmetrical counter circulating flow during evaporation is seen to collapse into a large rotating vortical flow non-periodically. …”

The GCSE attainment gap: assessing the influence of permanent school exclusion by Hills, Stephen, Walker, Matthew, Guinn, James, Kent, Aubrey

“…Using the National Pupil Database and a full cohort of UK pupils (N=590,092), our analysis tracked a sample of 1,490 pupils permanently excluded in year 11 of the English education system in 2018/19. Using capped GCSE points as the academic attainment variable, we find that permanently excluded pupil scores were nearly 25 points lower than their non-permanently excluded peers. …”

Improving the speed of variational quantum algorithms for quantum error correction by Zoratti, Fabio, De Palma, Giacomo, Kiani, Bobak, Nguyen, Quynh T., Marvian, Milad, Lloyd, Seth, Giovannetti, Vittorio

“…At variance with other quantum distances typically adopted in quantum information processing, QW1 lacks the unitary invariance property which makes it a suitable tool to avoid getting trapped in local minima. Focusing on a simple noise model for which an exact QEC solution is known and can be used as a theoretical benchmark, we run a series of numerical tests that show how, guiding the VQA search through the QW1, can indeed significantly increase both the probability of a successful training and the fidelity of the recovered state, with respect to the results one obtains when using conventional approaches.…”

Hodge theory and its applications to molecular data analysis by Koh, Ronald Joon Wei

“…There are many levels of organizations of the genome, its most basic unit, the nucleosome, which consists of DNA wrapped around histone proteins. Some of the higher levels of organization include tetranucleosomes, which consists of several nucleosomes, and topological associating domains (TADs), which are regions in the genome that self-interact more frequently with themselves compared to outside the TAD. …”
