Optimal Operation of Cryogenic Calorimeters Through Deep Reinforcement Learning.

Cryogenic phonon detectors with transition-edge sensors achieve the best sensitivity to sub-GeV/c dark matter interactions with nuclei in current direct detection experiments. In such devices, the temperature of the thermometer and the bias current in its readout circuit need careful optimization to achieve optimal detector performance. This task is not trivial and is typically done manually by an expert.

Methods: We analysed demographic, travel-related and clinical information from travelers diagnosed with influenza at our travel clinic between January 2015 and March 2020 and influenza-negative controls.
Results: We included 68 travelers diagnosed with influenza and 207 controls.
Searches for new physics below twice the electron mass with GERDA.

Article Synopsis
- A search for dark matter candidates in the mass range of 65 to 1021 keV was conducted using data from the GERDA experiment, focusing on energy depositions without detecting any significant signals above background noise.
- The study established stringent exclusion limits on dark photon and axion-like particle interactions with electrons, with specific constraints noted at a 150 keV mass level.
- Additional investigations into the decay rates of nucleons and electrons yielded lower lifetime limits for neutron, proton, and electron decay events at a 90% confidence interval.
Background: Functional performance tests (FPT) have been used with athletes following an injury to determine readiness to return-to-play (RTP), usually using limb symmetry indices to the contralateral limb or a baseline score. There is not a consensus as to which criterion scores are best compared.
Hypothesis/purpose: This study aimed to compare common functional performance test scores from injured athletes at the time of release to RTP to both preseason baseline scores and to the contralateral limb.
Article Synopsis
- A study was done to see if we could use a special system to gather important cancer data easily using a tool called SmartPhrase.
- Before the new tool was used, only 32% of the necessary data was captured, but after using it for six months, that number jumped to 64% for stage and 81%-82% for other important information.
- The study found that this new way of gathering data didn't take more time for doctors and even helped them make better decisions for treating patients.
