Genomic Changes in an Attenuated ZB Strain of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Serotype Asia1 and Comparison with Its Virulent Parental Strain by Aiguo Xin, Mingwang Zhu, Zhenqi Peng, Qi Hu, Chenhong Shi, Defang Liao, Jihua Wang, Huachun Li

“…The results showed that attenuation may be brought about by 28 common amino acid substitutions in the coding region, with one nucleotide point mutation in the 5′-untranslated region (5′-UTR) and another one in the 3′-UTR. In addition, a total of 21 nucleotides silent mutations had been found after attenuation. …”

Relation Between Quantum Advantage in Supervised Learning and Quantum Computational Advantage by Jordi Perez-Guijarro, Alba Pages-Zamora, Javier R. Fonollosa

“…This relation is analyzed by considering two definitions of learning speed-up: one tied to the distribution and another that is distribution-independent. In both cases, the existence of efficient algorithms to generate training sets emerges as the cornerstone of such conditions, although, for the distribution-independent definition, additional mild conditions must also be met. …”

Britomart Quest Anew, Victorians Revive the Elizabethan Faerie Queene as Campaigns for Women’s Suffrage Intensify by Susan Clayton

“…We shall address the questions of links between gender and power, and consider how the past is used to consolidate the present.Our analysis starts by contextualising Victorian revivals of Britomart’ story, paying special attention to a prose adaptation by Mary MacLeod, then assessing these revivals in relation to women’s demands for change, bearing in mind that British suffragettes also looked across the Channel to another female knight-at-arms, Joan of Arc, for a model for their campaigns. …”

Coda: The War of Poetry: Duncan’s Heresies by Michael Heller

“…The “war” in which he is a protagonist most often wrestling with himself but also with the cultural and political environment in which he writes, is to liberate form – not to choose one form over another – but to bring form to possibility, to express form as the creative artist’s fulfillment of “the law that he creates,” to see poetry’s “every freedom,” as leading toward human liberation. …”

Digital quantum simulation of cosmological particle creation with IBM quantum computers by Marco D. Maceda, Carlos Sabín

“…We consider a system consisting of a minimally coupled massive quantum scalar field in a spacetime undergoing homogeneous and isotropic expansion, transitioning from one stationary state to another through a brief inflationary period. We simulate two vibration modes, positive and negative for a given field momentum, by devising a quantum circuit that implements the time evolution. …”

Le Paysage, le style, et la modernisation agricole : la vallée de l’Orne dans Bouvard et Pécuchet by Grant Wiedenfeld

“…The second part aims to bridge this gap through a close reading of the description of the Orne valley in Bouvard and Pécuchet, which Richard previously analyzed from another perspective. Attention to the stylistic subtleties now reveals a contrast of ancient and modern that forces reflection on that era’s agricultural modernization and on the relationship of humans to nature. …”

Rural Masonry Isolating Structure and LRB Experiment: Seismic Resistance Properties and Statistical Data Curve Analyses by Jiayao Zheng

“…We built and tested 4 walls to observe the effects of different LRB thicknesses; we assessed test respective phenomena and seismic parameters accordingly. We ran another test on five small-diameter LRB components with varying horizontal stiffness, different forms of shear strain-equivalent horizontal stiffness, and postyield stiffness while changing the fitting formula for the second shape coefficient to give small-diameter LRB design providing gist.…”

Métamorphoses et permanences des parcours professionnels en France (1968-2018) by Marion Plault

“…The issue of this thesis is to question the idea of a contemporary time which would be described as a “deep dislocation of the wage earners” and which would result in a major transformation of the professional paths from a generation of workers to another. The empirical foundations this “dominant narrative” are examined on the basis of three dimensions of the professional paths: employment, unemployment, job insecurity and qualification. …”

Le bruit qui court : rumeur et contagion dans Deerbrook (1839) de Harriet Martineau by Marie Duic
