Minimising surface-code failures using a color-code decoder by Asmae Benhemou, Kaavya Sahay, Lingling Lao, Benjamin J. Brown

“…Analytical arguments and exhaustive testing show that the resulting decoder can find a least-weight correction for all weight $d/2$ depolarising errors for even code distance $d$. This improves the logical error rate by an exponential factor $O(2^{d/2})$ compared with decoders that treat bit-flip and dephasing errors separately. …”

Extending Artery/OMNeT++ for Evaluating V2X Sensor Fusion Algorithms With Infrastructure Support in Cooperative Advanced Driver Assistance Systems by Hamdan Hejazi, Andras Wippelhauser, Laszlo Bokor

“…This allows RSUs to detect non-V2X-equipped vehicles and vulnerable road users (VRUs), allowing the RSU to share the data via V2X, thereby improving situational awareness and cooperative perception. Our framework treats RSUs as active CPM generators to model infrastructure-supported collective perception, seamlessly integrates configurable error models for the kinematic state vector of V2X messages as well as for perceived objects, and exposes a realistic and appropriate approach for V2X-based object-level sensor fusion algorithms. …”

Performance of a Predictive Model for Long-Term Hemoglobin Response to Darbepoetin and Iron Administration in a Large Cohort of Hemodialysis Patients. by Carlo Barbieri, Elena Bolzoni, Flavio Mari, Isabella Cattinelli, Francesco Bellocchio, José D Martin, Claudia Amato, Andrea Stopper, Emanuele Gatti, Iain C Macdougall, Stefano Stuard, Bernard Canaud

“…Our model was able to predict individual variation of hemoglobin concentration 3 months in the future with a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.75 g/dL. Error analysis showed a narrow Gaussian distribution centered in 0 g/dL; a root cause analysis identified intercurrent and/or unpredictable events associated with hospitalization, blood transfusion, and laboratory error or misreported hemoglobin values as the main reasons for large discrepancy between predicted versus observed hemoglobin values. …”
