On the controllability of distributed systems

To "control" a system is to make it behave (hopefully) according to our "wishes," in a way compatible with safety and ethics, at the least possible cost. The systems considered here are distributed-i.e., governed (modeled) by partial differ...

1. Pointwise Control for Distributed Systems

1.1. Introduction. We consider in this chapter systems modeled by Partial Differential Equations of evolution, i.e., evolution distributed systems. We suppose that we can act on the system only at some particular points, this is the so-call...

Explainable artificial intelligence for cybersecurity: a literature survey

Abstract With the extensive application of deep learning (DL) algorithms in recent years, e.g., for detecting Android malware or vulnerable source code, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are increasingly becoming essent...

Natural Language Processing

This book chapter focuses on natural language processing (NLP) and covers various applications such as classifying messages as spam or ham, sentiment analysis, and the use of Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT). T...

Arabic natural language processing: An overview

Arabic is recognised as the 4th most used language of the Internet. Arabic has three main varieties: (1) classical Arabic (CA), (2) Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), (3) Arabic Dialect (AD). MSA and AD could be written either in Arabic or in Ro...

An IXPE-led X-Ray Spectropolarimetric Campaign on the Soft State of Cygnus X-1: X-Ray Polarimetric Evidence for Strong Gravitational Lensing

We present the first X-ray spectropolarimetric results for Cygnus X-1 in its soft state from a campaign of five IXPE observations conducted during 2023 May–June. Companion multiwavelength data during the campaign are likewise shown. The 2–8...

Exploring the Impact of the Aging Effect on Inferred Properties of Solar Coronal Mass Ejections

In situ measurements of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) when they pass over an interplanetary probe are one of the main ways we directly measure their properties. However, such in situ profiles are subject to several observational constraints...

Overview of Tensor-Based Cooperative MIMO Communication Systems—Part 1: Tensor Modeling

Due to increasingly strong and varied performance requirements, cooperative wireless communication systems today occupy a prominent place in both academic research and industrial development. The technological and economic challenges for fu...

Polarized Multiwavelength Emission from Pulsar Wind—Accretion Disk Interaction in a Transitional Millisecond Pulsar

Transitional millisecond pulsars (tMSPs) bridge the evolutionary gap between accreting neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries and millisecond radio pulsars. These systems exhibit a unique subluminous X-ray state characterized by the prese...

Nonresonant renormalization scheme for twist-2 operators in SU(N) Yang–Mills theory

Abstract Recently, the short-distance asymptotics of the generating functional of n-point correlators of twist-2 operators in SU(N) Yang–Mills (YM) theory has been worked out in Bochicchio et al. (Phys Rev D 108:054023, 2023). The above com...

Renewable energy for whom? A global systematic review of the environmental justice implications of renewable energy technologies

High-Performance Tuning for Model Predictive Control for a Renewable Energy Grid-Interface Converter With LCL Filter

Model predictive control (MPC) has emerged as a highly regarded control strategy in power electronics for renewable energy applications. While it minimizes tracking errors and control effort, a significant challenge is the lack of systemati...

Laser-induced porous graphene electrodes from polyketimine membranes for paracetamol sensing

The development of cost-effective materials for fabricating electrodes is crucial for drug, pharmaceutical and environmental applications. This paper presents the synthesis and characterization of a novel polyketimine (PKI) membrane obtaine...

Group Geometrical Axioms for Magic States of Quantum Computing

Let H be a nontrivial subgroup of index d of a free group G and N be the normal closure of H in G. The coset organization in a subgroup H of G provides a group P of permutation gates whose common eigenstates are either stabilizer states of ...

Quantum computing with neutral atoms

The manipulation of neutral atoms by light is at the heart of countless scientific discoveries in the field of quantum physics in the last three decades. The level of control that has been achieved at the single particle level within arrays...

Cosmic muon flux attenuation methods for superconducting qubit experiments

We propose and demonstrate two practical mitigation methods to attenuate the cosmic muon flux, compatible with experiments involving superconducting qubits: shallow underground sites and device orientation. Using a specifically-built cosmic...

Canonical quantization of a memristive leaky integrate-and-fire neuron circuit

We present a theoretical framework for a quantized memristive Leaky Integrate-and-Fire (LIF) neuron, uniting principles from neuromorphic engineering and open quantum systems. Starting from a classical memristive LIF circuit, we apply canon...

Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza H9N2 Viruses in Morocco: Antigenic and Molecular Evolution from 2021 to 2023

Avian influenza viruses pose significant threats to both the poultry industry and public health worldwide. Among them, the H9N2 subtype has gained substantial attention due to its high prevalence, especially in Asia, the Middle East, and Af...

Health and Cellular Impacts of Air Pollutants: From Cytoprotection to Cytotoxicity

Air pollution as one of the ravages of our modern societies is primarily linked to urban centers, industrial activities, or road traffic. These atmospheric pollutants have been incriminated in deleterious health effects by numerous epidemio...
