A Reduced Modeling Approach for Making Predictions with Incomplete Data Having Blockwise Missing Patterns
Authors: Srinivasan Karthik , Currim Faiz , Ram Sudha 
Published: November 2024

Incomplete data with blockwise missing patterns are commonly encountered in analytics, and solutions typically entail listwise deletion or imputation. However, as the proportion of missing values in input features increases, listwise or columnwise deletion leads to information loss, whereas imputation diminishes the integrity of the training data set. We present the blockwise reduced modeling (BRM) method for analyzing blockwise missing patterns, which adapts and improves on the notion of reduced modeling proposed by Friedman, Kohavi, and Yun in 1996 as lazy decision trees. In contrast to the original idea of reduced modeling of delaying model induction until a prediction is required, our method is significantly faster because it exploits the blockwise missing patterns to pretrain ensemble models that require minimum imputation of data. Models are pretrained over the overlapping subsets of an incomplete data set that contain only populated values. During prediction, each test instance is mapped to one of these models based on its feature-missing pattern. BRM can be applied to any supervised learning model for tabular data. We benchmark the predictive performance of BRM using simulations of blockwise missing patterns on three complete data sets from public repositories. Thereafter, we evaluate its utility on three data sets with actual blockwise missing patterns. We demonstrate that BRM is superior to most existing benchmarks in terms of predictive performance for linear and nonlinear models. It also scales well and is more reliable than existing benchmarks for making predictions with blockwise missing pattern data.

Optimal Prototyping with Noisy Measurements
Authors: Bhaskaran Sreekumar , Erat Sanjiv 
Published: November 2024

Problem definition: Prototyping and testing are an integral part of almost any new product development process, helping firms navigate the inherent uncertainties of creating new products. Recent developments in rapid prototyping, including technologies that enable cheaper low-fidelity tests, have opened up the possibilities for firms in reconfiguring their product development processes. Firms can, by choosing the level of evaluation fidelity, alter the traditional cost-quality trade-offs inherent in sequential prototyping. Methodology/results: The current article formulates a general model of sequential search where firms can proceed by obtaining noisy low-fidelity evaluations of their prototypes. Our results demonstrate that the imperfect fidelity of evaluations alters the firm’s optimal experimentation, with the starkest difference being that it may make it optimal for the firm to select and launch a prototype that did not yield the best evaluation. In addition, our analysis of optimal measurement technology reveals that the focal firm should demand the most precise measurements when their ex-ante uncertainty is moderate (not too high or low). We also consider extensions analyzing how the optimal choice of evaluation fidelity is affected by the number of available prototypes, by operational flexibility (to dynamically change measurement technology), and by the ability to outsource evaluations to an experimentation platform. Managerial implications: We develop managerial insights for how the optimal choice of fidelity and the optimal length of the evaluation cycle should be planned depending on the evaluation costs and the firm’s ex-ante uncertainty. The resulting framework offers guidance to product and software development firms to successfully leverage imperfect fidelity experiments.

Objective
Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni is the only intermediate host of Schistosoma japonicum in hilly regions of south-west China, which plays a key role during the transmission of Schistosomiasis. This study aimed to sequence the complete mitochondrial genome of Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni and analyze genetic differentiation of Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni.

Methods
Samples were from 13 villages in Yunnan Province of China, with 30 Oncomelania hupensis snails per village, and the complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced. A comprehensive analysis of the genetic differentiation of Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni was conducted by constructing phylogenetic trees, calculating genetic distances, and analyzing identity.

Results
A total of 26 complete mitochondrial sequences were determined. The length of genome ranged from 15,181 to 15,187 bp, and the base composition of the genome was A+T (67.5%) and G+C content (32.5%). This genome encoded 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. The phylogenetic trees and identity analysis confirmed that Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni was subdivided into Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni Yunnan strain and Sichuan strain, with a genetic distance of 0.0834. Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni Yunnan strain was further subdivided into two sub-branches, corresponding to "Yunnan North" and "Yunnan South", with a genetic distance of 0.0216, and the samples exhibited over 97% identity.

Conclusion
Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni is subdivided into Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni Yunnan strain and Sichuan strain. Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni Yunnan strain exhibits a higher level of genetic identity and clear north-south differentiation. This work reported the first mitochondrial genome of Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni Yunnan strain, which could be used as an important reference genome for Oncomelania hupensis, and also provide the important information for explaining the distribution pattern of Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni and control of Schistosoma japonicum.

Published: November 2024

Background
Atypical sensory reactivity is a cardinal presentation in autism. Within the tactile domain, atypical tactile reactivity (TR) is common, it emerges early, persists into adulthood, and impedes social interaction and daily functioning. Hence, atypical TR is a key target for biological intervention to improve outcomes. Brain mechanisms informing biological interventions for atypical TR remains elusive. We previously reported hyper-plasticity in the motor cortex in autistic adults and found that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), designed to strengthen inhibitory processes in the brain, reduced hyper-plasticity. Whether the primary sensory cortex (S1) is characterized by hyper-plasticity, which may underlie atypical TR in autism is unknown.

Objectives
We aim to test whether hyper-plasticity in the S1 underlies atypical TR in autism, and investigate if a single session of rTMS can safely reduce hyper-plasticity in S1 in autistic adults.

Method
Plasticity will be assessed in the left S1 with integrated paired associative stimulation and electroencephalography (PAS-EEG) paradigm in 32 autistic adults and 32 age-, sex-, and intelligence quotient-matched controls. Autistic participants will be further randomized (double-blind, 1:1) to receive a single-session of either sham or active 20 Hz bilateral rTMS over the S1 and the plasticity will be re-assessed over the left S1 on the same day.

Conclusions
Atypical TR has been identified as one of the top clinical research priorities that can influence outcome in autistic population. The study findings can be highly valuable to further elucidate the mechanism underlying atypical TR, which in turn can help with developing a mechanism-driven intervention.

Published: November 2024

INTRODUCTION:
This study investigates seasonal variations in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE)-related emergency department visits among adults.

METHODS:
We analyzed the National Emergency Department Sample (2016–2021), identifying adult patients with EoE using ICD-10 codes. Generalized additive models assessed seasonal patterns.

RESULTS:
Among 18,791 EoE-related emergency department visits, a significant seasonal variation was observed, peaking in summer and nadiring in winter. This pattern was consistent across all US regions.

CONCLUSION:
Seasonal dietary habits and social behaviors likely contribute to EoE exacerbations. Healthcare providers should emphasize management strategies during high-risk periods, particularly summer months and weekends.

Published: November 2024

INTRODUCTION:
Liver involvement is common in celiac disease (CeD), and up to 4.6% of patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis have CeD. We investigated the prevalence of CeD in patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis and assessed liver-related outcomes in them on GFD when compared with a propensity score–matched cohort of patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis without CeD.

METHODS:
Consecutive patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis were screened for CeD using IgA anti–tissue transglutaminase antibody (anti-tTG) followed by antiendomysial antibody and duodenal and liver biopsies, on which IgA/anti-tTG colocalization studies were performed. These patients and a cohort of patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis without CeD (1:4 CeD: no CeD matched using propensity score matched for age, sex, Child–Turcotte–Pugh [CTP] and model for end-stage liver disease [MELD]) were initiated on GFD plus standard of care and standard of care, respectively, and followed up for liver-related outcomes for 1 year.

RESULTS:
Of 232 patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis, 14 had high anti-tTG Ab (16.9 ± 10.5 fold rise), with 9 antiendomysial antibody–positive and 11 (4.7%) biopsy-proven CeD. IgA/anti-tTG Ab colocalization was demonstrated in 7/8 liver and 10/11 duodenal biopsies. Patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis with definite CeD (n = 11) and matched cohort without CeD (n = 44) were similar at baseline (age: 31.3 ± 7.7 vs 31.8 ± 9.3 years; 5 [45.5%] vs 15 [34.1%] females; MELDNa 9 [interquartile-range: 8–15.5] vs 12 [9–15]; CTP 7 [6–7.5] vs 6 [5.75–7]). Patients with CeD on GFD improved significantly on follow-up compared with those without CeD (follow-up MELDNa: 9 [7.5–10.5] vs 18.5 [12-20]; P = 0.001 and follow-up CTP: 5 [5-5] vs 8 [7–9]; P < 0.001) with less frequent further decompensations and similar mortality (9.1% vs 18.2%; P = 0.67).

DISCUSSION:
Approximately 4.7% of patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis have biopsy-proven CeD, and their liver-related outcomes improve with GFD.
The knowledge synthesizer – a companion technology for urban innovation and data integration
Authors: Noennig Jörg Rainer 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The paper presents a novel digital tool – the “Knowledge Synthesizer” – that converges research knowledge in the context of sustainable urban development, and generates insights about relevant future trends in the field. Conceived and implemented for the large-scale research program “Sustainable Development of Urban Regions” (SURE), the prototype tool organizes knowledge created by roughly 400 persons who are active in 147 involved institutions. Throughout the history of science, various attempts have been made to design synthetic devices to integrate large bodies of knowledge and generate new intelligence. Inspired by such historical concepts, and informed by an inquiry into the epistemological nature of knowledge generation, the paper outlines the design and functionality of the digital prototype, its general components and first test applications in the context of SURE.
Unintended Consequences of the 2015 Refugee Surge on Residential Building Permits in Germany
Authors: Neukranz Nils , Zietz Joachim 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In this paper, we examine how building permit rates, in particular those for housing in one- and two-family homes, were affected by the presence of refugees in the wake of the 2015/16 refugee surge in Germany. Our panel data set covers all German counties with available data over the years 2011–2019. Our results show that a larger presence of refugees tended to lower the building permit rate, not in the very short run but over time. The effect is concentrated in the years 2017–2019 at the end of our sample. On average over those years, a doubling of the population’s refugee share induced a decline in the permit rate by 7 %–9 %. This suggests a lower future housing supply as a potential unintended consequence of the refugee surge.
The colonisation of the colour pink: variation and change in Māori’s colour lexicon
Authors: Dodgson Neil , Chen Victoria , Zahido Meimuna 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
All languages exhibit basic colour terms that manifest how distinct linguistic systems categorise colour. Māori, the language of the indigenous people of New Zealand, demonstrates an instructive case where drastic innovations in colour terminology took place in response to environmental and cultural influences. We demonstrate how and when Māori accrued new colour terms to replace existing ones in its immediate ancestor, Proto-Eastern-Polynesian, and eventually coined new colour terms through borrowing from native words for nature to match the English colour categories that did not previously exist in Māori – except for the colour pink. While contemporary Māori is at the same stage as English (Stage VII) in Berlin and Kay’s colour term hierarchy, the evidence is that Māori was at Stage IV pre-colonisation, possessing only five native colour categories. The evolution of Māori’s colour categories thus illuminates how colonisation may impact the basic vocabulary of a language, both in the Māori settling a new land in the 13th century and in their subsequent language contact with English colonisers in the 19th century.
The many guises of productivity: a case-study of Spanish inchoative constructions
Authors: Van Hulle Sven , Enghels Renata , Lauwers Peter 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This study investigates the productivity of a family of inchoative constructions in (Peninsular) Spanish (empezar a + inf., echar a + inf.) and the way it correlates with semantic openness. Productivity is defined as lexical openness of a slot (here the infinitive) of a construction. A range of productivity measures (e.g., type/token ratio, hapax/token ratio, and other parameters related to the frequency of the most frequent types) are discussed and compared. Semantic openness is operationalized on the basis of distributional semantics, yielding two measures viz. semantic range and semantic sparsity. The correlations between productivity measures and semantics are studied by means of a Principal Components Analysis. It is shown that the so-called ‘anti-productivity’ measures (related to entrenchment due to high token frequency) on the one hand, and the productivity measures (including the hapax-based ones, traditionally associated with extensibility) on the other hand, strongly correlate and constitute opposites along the same dimension of lexical openness. In addition, the semantic measures strongly correlate with productivity, which suggests that often semantic and lexical openness go hand in hand in this dataset. As to the behavior of the individual auxiliaries (= micro-constructions), they appear to be rather extreme, showing very productive and less productive profiles.
Advanced structural design of engineering components utilizing an artificial neural network and GNDO algorithm

Published: November 2024

Abstract
In today’s competitive environment, the lightweighting of vehicle components is under intense study. While some of these studies focus on material modification, a very important part of these studies focuses on lightweighting the same material. The most widely used techniques in light-weight studies are topology, topography, size, shape optimization, and metaheuristic algorithms. This work introduces a novel hybrid generalized normal distribution optimization (GNDO) simulated annealing algorithm (GNDO-SA) adapted to optimize a vehicle component made of aluminum material. The focus is on shape optimization, which aims to minimize the weight of the vehicle component while ensuring that stress constraints are met. A combination of latin hypercube sampling (LHS) and artificial neural network is used to generate the mathematical equations governing mathematical equations for the objective/constraint used in the optimization. These findings highlight the effectiveness and superiority of the GNDO-SA method for optimization problems.
Flight trajectory optimization study of a variable-cycle turbine-based combined cycle engine hypersonic vehicle based on airframe/engine integration
Authors: Fu Yu , Song Wenyan , Wang Qiuyin , Wang Xiaoting , Li Jianping 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
To investigate the optimal flight trajectory for hypersonic vehicle and Turbine-Based Combined Cycle (TBCC) engine to enhance mission efficacy, a performance calculation model of a variable-cycle TBCC engine is developed utilizing the method of airframe/engine integrated performance analysis. Employing the Radau pseudospectral method for trajectory optimization, the study of the hypersonic vehicle involves the angle of attack, the scramjet engine equivalence ratio, and the core driven fan stage (CDFS) stator vane angle as control variables. Two optimization scenarios were considered: minimizing climb time and maximizing range. The findings indicate that by optimally adjusting the angle of attack and the scramjet engine’s equivalence ratio, the vehicle’s climb time can be reduced by up to 33.68 %, and the total flight duration by 8.07 %. Moreover, optimizing these variables, along with CDFS stator vane angle, can decrease fuel consumption during climb and potentially extend cruising distance by 8.56 %, increasing overall range by 3.63 %.

ЭКОСИСТЕМНЫЕ ОСНОВАНИЯ КОНЦЕПЦИИ СОЦИАЛЬНОЙ РЕЗИЛИЕНТНОСТИ
Authors: М.В. НЕНАШЕВА 
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматриваются экосистемные основания концепции социальной резилиентности как теоретико-методологического подхода к исследованию способов преодоления обществом глобальных вызовов. Концепция резилиентности (англ. resilience) была предложена канадским экологом К.С. Холлингом. Изучая развитие экологических систем в меняющихся условиях окружающей среды, Холлинг вывел две характеристики резилиентности: это (1) способность системы поглощать внешние воздействия и сопротивляться им, сохраняя исходные параметры, и (2) величина воздействий, которые может выдержать система, прежде чем она перейдет в иное состояние. На основе системного подхода в начале XXI в. концепция резилиентности стала применяться для анализа способности общества или социальных групп справляться с последствиями стихийных природных бедствий. В статье показано, что центральную роль в сохранении социальной резилиентности играют адаптация, т.е. способность людей разрабатывать и внедрять меры реагирования на меняющиеся внешние условия, и трансформируемость, т.е. способность общества преобразовывать структуру социума и находить новые траектории развития. Сделан вывод о необходимости дальнейшего научного осмысления содержательных и теоретико-методологических оснований концепции резилиентности для ее последующего использования в теоретических и прикладных исследованиях способов преодоления последствий глобальных вызовов.
The article examines the ecosystem foundations of the concept of social resilience as a theoretical and methodological approach to studying the ways in which society can overcome global challenges. The concept of resilience was proposed by the Canadian ecologist C.S. Holling. When studying the development of ecological systems in changing environmental conditions, Holling derived two characteristics of resilience. Those are (1) the ability of a system to absorb external influences and resist them while maintaining the initial parameters and (2) the magnitude of the impacts that a system can withstand before it passes into a different state. Based on the systems approach, at the beginning of the 21st century, the concept of resilience began to be used to analyze the ability of society or social groups to deal with the consequences of natural disasters. The article shows that adaptation, i.e. the ability of people to develop and implement measures to respond to changing external conditions, and transformability, i.e. the ability of society to transform its structure and find new development trajectories, play a key role in maintaining social resilience. The conclusion is made that further understanding of the substantive and theoretical-methodological foundations of the concept of resilience is needed for its subsequent use in theoretical and applied research on ways of overcoming the consequences of global challenges.
