We consider unimodal time series forecasting. We propose Gaussian and Lerch models for this forecasting problem. The Gaussian model depends on three parameters and the Lerch model depends on four parameters. We estimate the unknown parameters by minimizing the sum of the absolute values of the residuals. We solve these minimizations with and without a weighted median and we compare both approaches. As a numerical application, we consider the daily infections of COVID-19 in China using the Gaussian and Lerch models. We derive a confident interval for the daily infections from each local minima.

Programming liquid crystal elastomers for multistep ambidirectional deformability.

Ambidirectionality, which is the ability of structural elements to move beyond a reference state in two opposite directions, is common in nature. However, conventional soft materials are typically limited to a single, unidirectional deformation unless complex hybrid constructs are used. We exploited the combination of mesogen self-assembly, polymer chain elasticity, and polymerization-induced stress to design liquid crystalline elastomers that exhibit two mesophases: chevron smectic C (cSmC) and smectic A (SmA).

In recent years, the subject of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has developed very rapidly, and is now applied in various fields, such as decision making and control tasks. However, artificial agents trained with RL algorithms require great amounts of training data, unlike humans that are able to learn new skills from very few examples. The concept of meta-reinforcement learning (meta-RL) has been recently proposed to enable agents to learn similar but new skills from a small amount of experience by leveraging a set of tasks with a shared structure.

Background: Excess body weight (EBW) is a risk factor for various acute and chronic conditions. Conversely, the "obesity paradox" suggests a protective effect of higher body weight on some disease outcomes. This article discusses the role of EBW along the disease continuum of pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer (PC) in terms of incidence and outcome.
