Precursors of logical reasoning in human infants
There is no other field that is more controversial in psychology than that of human reasoning. This project advances a novel theoretical framework focused on the nature and the origins of rationality and could potentially resolve some of these controversies. Theories targeting the mechanisms that allow rational inferen...

Bacterial persistence represents a simple of phenotypic heterogeneity, whereby a proportion of cells in an isogenic bacterial population can survive exposure to lethal stresses such as antibiotics. In contrast, genetically based antibiotic resistance allows for continued growth in the presence of antibiotics. It is unc...

The Value of Transparency: Bulk Data and Authoritarianism
Given recognition of widespread state sponsored surveillance programs, are liberal democracies descending into an Orwellian authoritarian nightmare? The realities of the modern surveillance state instead suggest our worries ought to be about Kafkaesque bureaucratic black holes. In this paper we suggest that authoritari...

Exciton Polaritons in a Two-Dimensional Lieb Lattice with Spin-Orbit Coupling
We study exciton polaritons in a two-dimensional Lieb lattice of micropillars. The energy spectrum of the system features two flat bands formed from S and Px,y photonic orbitals, into which we trigger bosonic condensation under high power excitation. The symmetry of the orbital wave functions combined with photonic spi...

A study of candidate marine target impact craters in Arabia Terra, Mars

Optimal Control for a Class of Infinite Dimensional Systems Involving an L∞-term in the Cost Functional
An optimal control problem with a time-parameter is considered. The functional to be optimized includes the maximum over time-horizon reached by a function of the state variable, and so an L∞-term. In addition to the classical control function, the time at which this maximum is reached is considered as a free parameter...
