Creative tourism: opportunities for smaller places? by Greg Richards

“…We argue that smaller places should not attempt to emulate big city models of creative development, such as attracting the creative class, but should find their own creative mode based on using their endogenous resources, capacity building and bottom-up creativity. …”

Stochastic logic in biased coupled photonic probabilistic bits by Michael Horodynski, Charles Roques-Carmes, Yannick Salamin, Seou Choi, Jamison Sloan, Di Luo, Marin Soljačić

“…Our method relies on the insight that coherent Ising machines composed of coupled and biased optical parametric oscillators can emulate stochastic logic. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach by using numerical simulations equivalent to the full density matrix formulation of coupled optical parametric oscillators.…”

Some Aspects of Sensitivity Analysis in Variational Data Assimilation for Coupled Dynamical Systems by Sergei Soldatenko, Peter Steinle, Chris Tingwell, Denis Chichkine

“…For simple enough low-order models, the computational cost is minor and therefore models of this class are used as simple test instruments to emulate more complex systems. In this paper, the sensitivity with respect to variations in the parameters of one of the main components of VDA, the nonlinear forecasting model, is considered. …”
