This article acknowledges the risk factors and psychological demands of the adopted child and adoptive parents. Despite many biologic and psychosocial obstacles, most adoptions are considered successful because most of the adopted children do not encounter long-term psychological difficulties.

The poor management of public health risks associated with travel by most countries proved among the most contentious issue areas during the COVID-19 pandemic. Evidence from previous outbreaks suggested travel restrictions were largely unnecessary and counterproductive to timely reporting. This led to initial WHO recommendations against the use of travel restrictions.

We show that the theory of quantum statistical mechanics is a special model in the framework of the quantum probability theory developed by mathematicians, by extending the characteristic function in the classical probability theory to the quantum probability theory. As dynamical variables of a quantum system must respect certain commutation relations, we take the group generated by a Lie algebra constructed with these commutation relations as the bridge, so that the classical characteristic function defined in a Euclidean space is transformed to a normalized, non-negative definite function defined in this group. Indeed, on the quantum side, this group-theoretical characteristic function is equivalent to the density matrix; hence, it can be adopted to represent the state of a quantum ensemble.

Autonomous driving systems (ADS), leveraging advancements in learning algorithms, have the potential to significantly enhance traffic safety by reducing human errors. However, a major challenge in evaluating ADS safety is quantifying the performance uncertainties inherent in these black box algorithms, especially in dynamic and complex service environments. Addressing this challenge is crucial for maintaining public trust and promoting widespread ADS adoption.

To manage risks and mitigate the transmission of infectious diseases, individuals often adopt strategies aimed at reducing interpersonal contact by implementing precautionary measures within their daily routines. These behavioral adjustments reduce the disease transmission rates. In this study, we present a novel mathematical model delineating diseases induced by carriers, incorporating multifaceted factors, such as psychological fear, media impact, and sanitation interventions.

Stiff systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are pervasive in many science and engineering fields, yet standard neural ODE approaches struggle to learn them. This limitation is the main barrier to the widespread adoption of neural ODEs. In this paper, we propose an approach based on single-step implicit schemes to enable neural ODEs to handle stiffness and demonstrate that our implicit neural ODE method can learn stiff dynamics.
