    Abstract In this work, we characterize the capability of artificial neural network predictive models for generalizable turbulence forecasting, particularly for use in predictive adaptive optics (AO) applications. Predictive AO control, which utilizes future state predictions of an optical wavefront propagated through a turbulent medium to drive correction, is a promising technology for optical propagation in high-disturbance and low-signal environments. The dynamics describing the evolution of turbulent flow can vary greatly. Accordingly, a generalizable approach to turbulence forecasting has key benefits in allowing for prediction across a range of conditions, thus enabling continuous predictive AO operation in dynamic environments and having reduced sensitivity to changes in conditions. We present a model for generalizable turbulence forecasting, which demonstrated consistent high performance over a range of compressible flow conditions outside those included in the training sample, with only a minimal increase in prediction error compared with a hypothetical baseline model, which assumes perfect a priori characterization. These results demonstrate a clear ability to extract useful dynamics from a limited domain of turbulent conditions and apply these appropriately for forecasting, which could inform future design of predictive AO systems.

    Abstract Introduction Recent evidence suggests that influenza vaccination may offer protection against COVID-19 severity. Our aim was to quantify the association between influenza vaccination status and risk of hospitalisation or all-cause mortality in people diagnosed with COVID-19.Methods A retrospective cohort study using routinely collected health records from patients registered to a General Practitioner (GP) practice in South West England within the Electronic Care and Health Information Analytics database. The cohort included 6921 people with COVID-19 during the first wave of the pandemic (1 January–31 July 2020). Data on influenza vaccination, hospitalisation and all-cause mortality were ascertained through linked clinical and demographic records. We applied propensity score methods (stabilised inverse probability of treatment weight) to quantify the association between influenza vaccination status and COVID-19 outcomes (hospitalisation or all-cause mortality).Results 2613 (38%) participants received an influenza vaccination between 1 January 2019 and COVID-19 diagnosis. Receipt of influenza vaccination was associated with a significantly lower odds of hospitalisation or all-cause mortality (adjusted OR: 0.85, 95% CI 0.75 to 0.97, p=0.02), and 24% reduced odds of all-cause mortality (adjusted OR: 0.76, 95% CI 0.64 to 0.90).Discussion Influenza vaccination was associated with a 15%–24% lower odds of severe COVID-19 outcomes. The current UK influenza vaccination programme needs urgent expansion as an integral component of the ongoing response plans to the COVID-19 pandemic.
