Optimisation of non-pharmaceutical measures in COVID-19 growth via neural networks

no code implementations16 Jun 2020 Annalisa Riccardi, Jessica Gemignani, Francisco Fernández-Navarro, Anna Heffernan

This study seeks to quantify the impact of government actions in mitigating viral transmission of SARS-CoV-2 by a novel soft computing approach that makes concurrent use of a neural network model, to predict the daily slope increase of cumulative infected, and an optimiser, with a parametrisation of the government restriction time series, to understanding the best set of mitigating actions.

Accelerated motion and the self-force in Schwarzschild spacetime

no code implementations4 Dec 2017 Anna Heffernan, Adrian C. Ottewill, Niels Warburton, Barry Wardell, Peter Diener

We provide expansions of the Detweiler-Whiting singular field for motion along arbitrary, planar accelerated trajectories in Schwarzschild spacetime.

The Self-Force Problem: Local Behaviour of the Detweiler-Whiting Singular Field

no code implementations24 Mar 2014 Anna Heffernan

To resolve this, the field is split into a singular component and a smooth regular field.

High-order expansions of the Detweiler-Whiting singular field in Kerr spacetime

no code implementations27 Nov 2012 Anna Heffernan, Adrian Ottewill, Barry Wardell

We now extend this to the case of equatorial orbits in Kerr spacetime, using coordinate and covariant approaches to compute expansions of the singular field in scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational cases.
