Summary From the very beginning seizure prediction community faced problems concerning evaluation, standardization, and reproducibility of its studies. One main reasons for these shortcomings was lack access to high‐quality long‐term electroencephalography (EEG) data. In this article we present EPILEPSIAE database, which made publicly available in 2012. We illustrate content scope. The database provides EEG recordings 275 patients as well extensive metadata standardized annotation data sets....
Whilst survival in paediatric critical care has improved, clinicians lack tools capable of predicting long-term outcomes. We developed a machine learning model to predict poor school outcomes children surviving intensive unit (ICU).
Quantum friction, the electromagnetic fluctuation-induced frictional force decelerating an atom which moves past a macroscopic dielectric body, has so far eluded experimental evidence despite more than three decades of theoretical studies. Inspired by recent finding that dynamical corrections to such atom's internal dynamics are enhanced one order magnitude for vertical motion---compared with paradigmatic setup parallel motion---we generalize quantum friction calculations arbitrary angles...
We present a formula for the spectroscopically accessible level shifts and decay rates of an atom moving at arbitrary angle relative to surface. Our Markov formulation leads intuitive analytic description whereby are obtained from coefficients Heisenberg equation motion atomic flip operators but with complex Doppler-shifted (velocity-dependent) transition frequencies. results conclusively demonstrate that limiting case parallel quadratic or higher in velocity. show stronger, linear velocity...
Sepsis is a leading cause of death and disability in children globally, accounting for ∼3 million childhood deaths per year. In pediatric sepsis patients, the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) considered significant risk factor adverse clinical outcomes characterized by high mortality morbidity intensive care unit. The recent rapidly growing availability electronic health records (EHRs) has allowed researchers to vastly develop data-driven approaches like machine learning healthcare...
Abstract Transmission chains within small urban areas (accommodating ∼30 per cent of the European population) greatly contribute to case burden and economic impact during ongoing coronavirus pandemic should be a focus for preventive measures achieve containment. Here, at very high spatio-temporal resolution, we analysed determinants severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission in area, Basel-City (Switzerland). We combined detailed epidemiological, intra-city mobility...
We investigate the properties of molecular quantum dot (Holstein-Anderson) model using numerical and analytical techniques. Path integral Monte Carlo simulations for cumulants distribution function phonon coordinate reveal that at intermediate temperatures effective potential oscillator exhibits two minima rather than a single one, which can be understood as signature bistability effect. A straightforward adiabatic approximation turns out to adequately describe system in this regime. Upon...

Abstract Motivation While the search for associations between genetic markers and complex traits has led to discovery of tens thousands trait-related variants, vast majority these only explain a small fraction observed phenotypic variation. One possible strategy overcome this while leveraging biological prior is aggregate effects several test entire genes, pathways or (sub)networks genes association phenotype. The latter, network-based genome-wide studies, in particular suffer from space an...
The description of an open quantum system's decay almost always requires several approximations so as to remain tractable. In this Letter, we first revisit the meaning, domain, and seeming contradictions a few most widely used such approximations: (semigroup) Markovianity, linear response theory, Wigner-Weisskopf approximation, rotating-wave approximation. Second, derive effective time-dependent theory corresponding generalized regression relations for system linearly coupled environment....
We propose that chemically inert polymeric films can enhance van der Waals (vdW) forces in the same way as nanofabrication of biomimetic adhesive materials. For vdW adhesion an ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE) film on rough metal and dielectric substrates, we present a model combines microscopic quantum-chemistry simulations polymer response functions equilibrium monomer-substrate distance with macroscopic quantum-electrodynamics calculation Casimir force between substrate. predict...
Casimir-Polder interactions cause energy and momentum exchange between microscopic macroscopic bodies, a process mediated by quantum fluctuations in the coupled matter-electromagnetic field system. The dynamics of such effects are yet to be experimentally investigated due dominance static at currently attainable atomic velocities. However, Y. Guo Z. Jacob [\textit{Opt. Express}, 22:26193-26202, 2014] have proposed non-static two-plate set-up where fluctuation strong velocity-dependent...

We predict a repulsive Casimir-Polder-type dispersion interaction between single neutron and metal or dielectric surface. consider scenario where is subject to an external magnetic field. Due its intrinsic moment, the then forms magnetisable two-level system which can exchange virtual photons with nearby The resulting purely object (neutron) electric one (surface) found be repulsive, in contrast typical attractive objects. Its magnitude considerably smaller than standard atom--surface...
