ASD, emotional memory, fears
Emotional memory is a bitch, and people in the spectrum are particularly vulnerable to it.
Let's say that something triggers the emotion of fear in you. You may be consciously recalling some bad memories, you may be imagining a possible outcome. However, when emotional memory comes into action, things are much worse. Your nervous system immediately brings the deep feeling of fear that is associated with the memory. You may even no longer be able to recall the memory, forget it entirely, yet your mind will ceaselessly keep hitting you with a whole set of emotions that you can't control, every single time it happens.
What's even worse, these things add up. Bad memories create fear. Fear creates more bad memories. These memories amplify the emotional reaction — and the wheel turns.
But the worst is the lack of understanding. People telling you that you are being irrational, that you are being an embarrassment to your family, that they have to give stuff up because of you. So the emotional memory becomes richer with the feelings of embarrassment, guilt and low self-esteem. All coalescing into a huge ball of emotion.
Today, you know it's not true. The fear wasn't irrational at all, it's pretty understandable in people who are #ActuallyAutistic, even "typical". Yet, what's the point of knowing that, if these emotions are deeply seated in your memory, and they will haunt you forever, and prevent you from ever having an illusion of normal life?

Fully Evaluated Left-Sequential Logics
We consider a family of two-valued "fully evaluated left-sequential logics" (FELs), of which Free FEL (defined by Staudt in 2012) is most distinguishing (weakest) and immune to atomic side effects. Next is Memorising FEL, in which evaluations of subexpressions are memorised. The following stronger logic is Conditional FEL (inspired by Guzmán and Squier's Conditional logic, 1990). The strongest FEL is static FEL, a sequential version of propositional logic. We use evaluation trees as a simple, …

Impact of the La2NiO4+δ oxygen content on the synaptic properties of the TiN/La2NiO4+δ/Pt memristive devices
The rapid development of brain-inspired computing requires new artificial components and architectures for its hardware implementation. In this regard, memristive devices emerged as potential candidates for artificial synapses because of their ability to emulate the plasticity of the biological synapses. In this work, the synaptic behavior of the TiN/La2NiO4+δ/Pt memristive devices based on thermally annealed La2NiO4+δ films is thoroughly investigated. Using electron energy loss spectroscopy,…

Regular Languages in the Sliding Window Model

Regular Languages in the Sliding Window Model
We study the space complexity of the following problem: For a fixed regular language $L$, test membership of a sliding window of length $n$ to $L$ over a given stream of symbols. For deterministic streaming algorithms we prove a trichotomy theorem, namely that the (optimal) space complexity is either constant, logarithmic or linear, measured in the window length $n$. Additionally, we provide natural language-theoretic characterizations of the space classes. We then extend the results to randomi…

Rare-earth doped yttrium silicate (Y2SiO5) thin films grown by chemical vapour deposition for quantum technologies
Yttrium orthosilicate (Y2SiO5 - YSO) is one of the most promising crystals to host rare-earth (RE) ions for quantum technologies applications. In this matrix, they indeed exhibit narrow optical and spin linewidths that can be exploited to develop quantum memories or quantum information processing capabilities. In this paper, we propose a new method to grow RE doped silicate thin films on silicon wafers based on direct liquid injection chemical vapour deposition (DLI-CVD). We optimize the deposi…
