Aperiodic-sampled neural network controllers with closed-loop stability verifications (extended version)
In this paper, we synthesize two aperiodic-sampled deep neural network (DNN) control schemes, based on the closed-loop tracking stability guarantees. By means of the integral quadratic constraint coping with the input-output behaviour of system uncertainties/nonlinearities and the convex relaxations of nonlinear DNN activations leveraging their local sector-bounded attributes, we establish conditions to design the event- and self-triggered logics and to compute the ellipsoidal inner approximati…

Finite time path field theory and a new type of universal quantum spin chain quench behaviour
We discuss different quench protocols for Ising and XY spin chains in a transverse magnetic field. With a sudden local magnetic field quench as a starting point, we generalize our approach to a large class of local non-sudden quenches. Using finite time path field theory perturbative methods, we show that the difference between the sudden quench and a class of quenches with non-sudden switching on the perturbation vanishes exponentially with time, apart from non-substantial modifications that a…

In Buffalo, the Chief of Narcotics and Intelligence for the Erie County Sheriff’s Office can plead guilty to hit-and-run in his county vehicle (while probably drink), intimidate a witness, collude with city police in a possible cover-up, and keep his job.

2022 census:
The five local authorities in the UK with the largest proportion of those who identified as holding no religious beliefs were all located in Scotland: Shetland Islands (62.75%), Fife (60.55%), Midlothian (60.54%), Aberdeenshire (58.96%) and Clackmannanshire (58.33%).

SF has so many parking lots and other soft sites especially on the westside, we should be building housing there instead of demolishing rent-controlled homes. But #SB79 offers few protections & none for rent-controlled duplexes. Sign this petition to amend the bill to fix this!

Amend SB 79 to Protect Tenants and Communities
SB 79 puts thousands of rent-controlled homes and small businesses in San Francisco at risk by allowing demolition without strong affordability requirements or local oversight. It overrides years of community planning and opens the door to displacement in working-class neighborhoods across San Francisco. Sign the petition to demand smart, equitable amendments that protect tenants, preserve local plans, and ensure transit-oriented development works for everyone.

Hadronic decays of possible pseudoscalar $P$-wave $D\bar{D}^\ast/\bar{D}D^\ast$ molecular state
Recently, the new structure $G(3900)$ observed by the BESIII collaboration in the $e^+e^-\to D\bar{D}$ was identified to be the $P$-wave $D\bar{D}^\ast/\bar{D}D^\ast$ vector molecular resonance using a unified meson exchange model. Apart from the vector $P$-wave state, a possible pseudoscalar $P$-wave molecular state of the $D\bar{D}^\ast/\bar{D}D^\ast$ (called $G_0(3900)$ for short) was also predicted, which is likely to be observed in the future experiments. Within the molecular framework, we…

The 60-year-old man lying on the street, as far as anyone knew, was just a janitor hit by a drunk driver.
There was no mention of it on the local news, no obituary in the morning paper.
His name might have been Anonymous. But it wasn’t. 
His name was Peter Putnam.
He was a physicist who’d hung out with Albert Einstein, John Archibald Wheeler, and Niels Bohr,
and two blocks from the crash, in his run-down apartment, where his partner, Claude, was startled by a scr…
