Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: In this article, we review a general theoretical framework of thermodynamics of information on the basis of Bayesian networks. This framework can describe a broad class of nonequilibrium dynamics of multiple interacting systems with complex information exchanges. For such situations, we discuss a generalization of the second law of thermodynamics including information contents. The key concept here is an informational quantity called the transfer entropy, which describes the directional information transfer in stochastic dynamics. The generalized second law gives the fundamental lower bound of the entropy production in nonequilibrium dynamics, and sheds modern light on the paradox of "Maxwell's demon" that performs measurements and feedback control at the level of thermal fluctuations.

description: This is a sub-project of the RESIST (Research on Individual (Anti-) Social Trajectories) study. The current sub-project aims to increase our understanding of positive and negative self-evaluations in individuals with and without a history of antisocial behavior. We will also test the neural basis of (domain-specific) positive and negative self-concept endorsements, as well as individual differences in psychopathic traits to further elucidate the relationship between self-concept and antisocial behavior.

description: We formulate a spin-polarized van Leeuwen and Baerends (vLB) correction to the local density approximation (LDA) exchange potential [Phys. Rev. A 49, 2421 (1994)] that enforces the ionization potential (IP) theorem following Stein et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 266802 (2010)]. For electronic-structure problems, the vLB-correction replicates the behavior of exact-exchange potentials, with improved scaling and well-behaved asymptotics, but with the computational cost of semi-local functionals. The vLB+IP corrections produces large improvement in the eigenvalues over that from LDA due to correct asympotic behavior and atomic shell structures, as shown on rare-gas, alkaline-earth, zinc-based oxides, alkali-halides, sulphides, and nitrides. In half-Heusler alloys, this asymptotically-corrected LDA reproduces the spin-polarized properties correctly, including magnetism and half-metallicity. We also considered finite-sized systems [e.g., ringed boron-nitirde (B$_{12}$N$_{12}$) and graphene (C$_{24}$)] to emphasize the wide applicability of the method.

description: Despite the dramatic improvement in the overall survival for patients diagnosed with Wilms’ tumor (WT), the outcomes for those that experience relapse have remained disappointing. We describe the outcomes of 253 patients with relapsed WT who received high-dose chemotherapy (HDT) followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) between 1990 and 2013, and reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplantation Research (CIBMTR). The 5-year estimates for event free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were 36% (95% CI; 29 – 43%) and 45% (95% CI; 38 – 51%) respectively. Relapse of primary disease was the cause of death in 81% of the population. EFS, OS, relapse and transplant-related mortality (TRM) showed no significant differences when broken down by disease status at transplant, time from diagnosis to transplant, year of transplant or conditioning regimen. Our data suggest that HDT followed by autologous HCT for relapsed WT is well tolerated and outcomes are similar to those reported in the literature. Since attempts to conduct a randomized trial comparing maintenance chemotherapy with consolidation versus high-dose chemotherapy followed by stem cell transplant have failed, one should balance the potential benefits with the yet unknown long-term risks. Since disease recurrence continues to be the most common cause of death, future research should focus on the development of consolidation therapies for those patients achieving complete response to therapy.

Selective restudy can reset recall of forgotten information

description: Recall of studied material is typically impaired as time between study and test increases. Selective restudy can interrupt such time-dependent forgetting by enhancing recall not only of the restudied but also of the not restudied material. In two experiments, we examined whether this interruption of time-dependent forgetting reflects a transient or more lasting effect on recall performance. We analyzed time-dependent forgetting of studied items right after study and after time-lagged selective restudy. Restudy boosted recall of the not restudied items up to the levels observed directly after study and created a restart of time-dependent forgetting from this enhanced recall level. Critically, the forgetting after restudy was indistinguishable from the forgetting after study, suggesting that restudy induced a reset of recall for the not restudied items. The results are consistent with the idea that restudy reactivates the temporal context during study, thus facilitating recall of the not restudied items. In particular, the findings suggest that such context updating reflects a lasting effect that entails a restart of the original time-dependent forgetting. Results are discussed with respect to recent, similar findings on effects of time-lagged selective retrieval.

description: This article aims to review the risk stratification of endometrial cancer, treatment rationale, outcomes, treatment planning, and treatment recommendations of vaginal brachytherapy (VBT) in the post-operative management of endometrial cancer patients. The authors performed a thorough review of the literature and reference pertinent articles pertaining to the aims of this review. Adjuvant VBT for early stage endometrial cancer patients results in very low rates of vaginal recurrence (0–3.1%) with low rates of late toxicity which are primarily vaginal in nature. PORTEC-2 supports that VBT results in non-inferior rates of vaginal recurrence compared to external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for the treatment of high-intermediate risk patients. VBT as a boost following EBRT, in combination with chemotherapy, and for high-risk histologies have shown excellent results as well though randomized data do not exist supporting VBT boost. There are many different applicators, dose-fractionation schedules, and treatment planning techniques which all result in favorable clinical outcomes and low rates of toxicity. Recommendations have been published by the American Brachytherapy Society and the American Society of Radiation Oncology to help guide practitioners in the use of VBT. Data support that patients and physicians both prefer joint decision-making regarding the use of VBT, and patients often desire additional treatment for a marginal benefit in risk of recurrence. Discussions regarding adjuvant therapy for endometrial cancer are best performed in a multi-disciplinary setting and patients should be counseled properly regarding the risks and benefits of adjuvant therapy.

description: The information age and the information society have become dominant features in the new millennium. However, these terms are often referred to with the younger generations in mind, neglecting the older and more experienced members of our society. This thesis focuses on the 'Grey Market' (travellers over the age of 50) who use the Internet on a regular basis - therefore also referred to as 'Silver Surfers' - and in particular for their travel and tourism decision-making. Itaims to identify experiences and processes of travel decision-making, analyse the impact on the use of the Internet as an information search as well as evaluate the effectiveness of the Internet in providing information for particular and not mainstream market segments. The methodology employed in this particular piece of research builds on positivism as most consumer behaviour theories do; however a more inductive approach was taken. While relying on existing theories newer and less well tested methods of data collection were put to use. The methods were triangulated, utilising both quantitative and qualitative research methods which complement each other in the results. An initial pilot study questionnaire was followed up with semi-structured in-depth interviews which then led to the completion of the final survey, that was administered by 'e-surveying' using both convenience and snowball sampling and resulted in 517 valid responses from 'Silver Surfers' around the United Kingdom. Main findings of this thesis show a distinct pattern of behaviour in the travel decision making process of this particular market segment as well as what kind of information they were researching on the Internet. Most importantly, the respondents do not consider themselves too different from other (younger) age groups and even though some of their information requirements are distinctive, they do not want to be considered just as 'the older consumers'.

description: Using data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE, 2004-17) and time diaries from Poland (2013), the U.S. (2006-16), the U.K. (2014-15) and France (2009-10), we examine differences between widowed and partnered older women in well-being and its development in widowhood. Most importantly, our analysis accounts for time use, an aspect which has not been studied previously. We trace the evolution of well-being of women who become widowed by comparing them with their matched non-widowed ‘statistical twins’ and examine the role of an exceptionally broad set of potential moderators of widowhood’s impact on well-being. We confirm a dramatic decrease in mental health and life satisfaction after the loss of partner, followed by a slow partial recovery over a five-year period. An extensive set of controls recorded prior to widowhood, including detailed family ties and social networks, provides little help in explaining the deterioration in well-being. Unique data from time-diaries kept by older women in several European countries and the U.S. tell us why: the key factor behind widows’ reduced well-being is increased time spent alone.

description: Review Question What experiments on substance use have been carried out on the Amazon Platform MTurk (MTurk) since the platform started in 2005? Rationale This is the first scoping review conducted only on substance use population experiments on MTurk. This review will help substance use researchers understand what studies have already been done on the MTurk platform and how it is possible for scientists to conduct similar experiments to those carried out in laboratory settings, but online. This scoping review can therefore help scientists who are not very familiar with online interventions. This is relevant because MTurk has become a popular platform in the last 5 years, and it will only continue to rise in its popularity with the increase in use of technology. Finally, reporting substance use is a sensitive topic and can be underreported in in-person experiments, so using MTurk could be a more accessible alternative for conducting experiments. Objective This scoping review aims to compile of all the published MTurk studies that have been done so far on substance use to diffuse this knowledge to drug addiction researchers to conduct future novel experiments and replications of the already conducted experiments. In addition, to let people know that it is possible to carry out experiments online. Finally, to determine how MTurk is being used, what type of experiments do scientists conduct, and what countries and drug populations are on the online platform. Aims 1. Primary aim: To find and compile all of the published experiments conducted on substance use populations carried out on MTurk up until the date of the literature search. 2. Secondary aim: To understand what type of experiments are the most and least common. 3. Third aim: To understand what are the most and least common populations scientists can find on Mturk. 4. Fourth aim: To explain how the Amazon Platform MTurk works and its different elements.

description: The present study examines verbal working memory over time in boys with fragile X syndrome (FXS) compared to nonverbal mental-age (NVMA) matched, typically developing (TD) boys. Concomitantly, the relationship between cortisol—a physiological marker for stress—and verbal working memory performance over time is examined to understand the role of physiological mechanisms in cognitive development in FXS. Participants were assessed between one and three times over a 2-year time frame using two verbal working memory tests that differ in complexity: memory for words and auditory working memory with salivary cortisol collected at the beginning and end of each assessment. Multilevel modeling results indicate specific deficits over time on the memory for words task in boys with FXS compared to TD controls that is exacerbated by elevated baseline cortisol. Similar increasing rates of growth over time were observed for boys with FXS and TD controls on the more complex auditory working memory task, but only boys with FXS displayed an association of increased baseline cortisol and lower performance. This study highlights the benefit of investigations of how dynamic biological and cognitive factors interact and influence cognitive development over time.

Participants will be randomly assigned to different versions of a mortality reminder identical in every way except for the way it describes the reminded death’s cause. Individuals will be randomly assigned to a reminder of the thought of death due to a Coronavirus disease outbreak (Treatment 1), a drunk driving crash (Treatment 2), or a terrorist attack (Treatment 3). Individuals randomly assigned to a control condition will not be reminded of the thought of death. Then, participants will respond to the following questions about (i) conservative/liberal self-placement, (ii) the extent of support for gun ownership restrictions, moral-religious training in public schools, healthcare, immigration, and torture against terrorism suspects and (iii) word puzzle as the manipulation and attention check.
Linear stability of magnetohydrodynamic flow in a square duct with thin conducting walls

description: This study is concerned with numerical linear stability analysis of liquid metal flow in a square duct with thin electrically conducting walls subject to a uniform transverse magnetic field. We derive an asymptotic solution for the base flow which is valid not only for high but also moderate magnetic fields. This solution shows that for low wall conductance ratios $c\ll1,$ an extremely strong magnetic field with the Hartmann number $Ha\sim c^{-4}$ is required to attain the asymptotic flow regime considered in the previous studies. We use a vector stream function/vorticity formulation and a Chebyshev collocation method to solve the eigenvalue problem for three-dimensional small-amplitude perturbations in ducts with realistic wall conductance ratios $c=1,0.1,0.01$ and Hartmann numbers up to $10^{4}.$ As for similar flows, instability in a sufficiently strong magnetic field is found to occur in the side-wall jets with the characteristic thickness $δ\sim Ha^{-1/2}.$ This results in the critical Reynolds number and wavenumber increasing asymptotically with the magnetic field as $Re_{c}\sim110Ha^{1/2}$ and $k_{c}\sim0.5Ha^{1/2}.$ The respective critical Reynolds number based on the total volume flux in a square duct with $c\ll1$ is $\bar{Re}_{c}\approx520.$ Although this value is somewhat larger than$\bar{Re}_{c}\approx313$ found by Ting et al. (1991) for the asymptotic side-wall jet profile, it still appears significantly lower than the Reynolds numbers at which turbulence is observed in experiments as well as in direct numerical simulations of this type of flows.

description: Using a continuous laser to soften glass locally is a novel way of selective glass forming. Due to gaussian distribution of laser power density, a temperature gradient will be generated on glass treated with localized irradiation by laser, which brings about the coexistence of a glass state and a viscoelastic state. This situation creates a bulge on the surface of the softened area. Based on this phenomenon, we propose a measurement approach and a calculation model for the softening zone width of glass irradiated locally by laser and verify the calculation model through simulations and experiments. The maximum temperature deviation of the proposed temperature field prediction model is 4.7°C, while the minimum deviation is 0.53°C; making the deviation between the calculation model of the softening zone width and the experimental measurement result less than 0.319%.

description: We study the connection between periodic finite-difference Intermediate Long Wave hydrodynamical systems and integrable many-body models of Calogero and Ruijsenaars-type. The former describe quantum cohomology and quantum K-theory of the ADHM moduli space of Abelian instantons, while the latter arise in the the instanton counting in four and five dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories with eight supercharges in the presence of defects. Using string theory dualities we provide correspondences between hydrodynamical and many-body integrable systems. In particular, we match the energy spectra on both sides.

description: Fusing information from different imaging modalities is crucial for more accurate identification of the brain state because imaging data of different modalities can provide complementary perspectives on the complex nature of brain disorders. However, most existing fusion methods often extract features independently from each modality, and then simply concatenate them into a long vector for classification, without appropriate consideration of the correlation among modalities. In this paper, we propose a novel method to transform the original features from different modalities to a common space, where the transformed features become comparable and easy to find their relation, by canonical correlation analysis. We then perform the sparse multi-task learning for discriminative feature selection by using the canonical features as regressors and penalizing a loss function with a canonical regularizer. In our experiments on the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) dataset, we use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) images to jointly predict clinical scores of Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and also identify multi-class disease status for Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis. The experimental results showed that the proposed canonical feature selection method helped enhance the performance of both clinical score prediction and disease status identification, outperforming the state-of-the-art methods.

description: Likelihood-free inference involves inferring parameter values given observed data and a simulator model. The simulator is computer code which takes parameters, performs stochastic calculations, and outputs simulated data. In this work, we view the simulator as a function whose inputs are (1) the parameters and (2) a vector of pseudo-random draws. We attempt to infer all these inputs conditional on the observations. This is challenging as the resulting posterior can be high dimensional and involves strong dependence. We approximate the posterior using normalizing flows, a flexible parametric family of densities. Training data is generated by likelihood-free importance sampling with a large bandwidth value ϵ, which makes the target similar to the prior. The training data is “distilled” by using it to train an updated normalizing flow. The process is iterated, using the updated flow as the importance sampling proposal, and slowly reducing ϵ so the target becomes closer to the posterior. Unlike most other likelihood-free methods, we avoid the need to reduce data to low-dimensional summary statistics, and hence can achieve more accurate results. We illustrate our method in two challenging examples, on queuing and epidemiology. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

Quantum light propagation in longitudinally inhomogeneous media as a spatial Lewis-Ermakov physical invariance

description: We study the propagation of quantum states of light in separable longitudinally inhomogeneous media. By means of the usual quantization approach this kind of media would lead to the unphysical result of quantum noise squeezing. This problem is solved by means of generalized canonical transformations in a comoving frame. Under these transformations the generator of propagation is a physical Lewis-Ermakov invariant in space which is quantized and, accordingly, a propagator consistent with experiments is obtained. Finally, we show that the net effect produced by propagation in these media is a quantum Gouy's phase with application in quantum interferometry.

Manipulating Z2 and Chern topological phases in a single material using periodically driving fields

description: $Z_{2}$ and Chern topological phases such as newly discovered quantum spin Hall and original quantum Hall states hardly both co--exist in a single material due to their contradictory requirement on the time--reversal symmetry (TRS). We show that although the TRS is broken in systems with a periodically driving ac-field, an effective TRS can still be defined provided the ac--field is linearly polarized or certain other conditions are satisfied. The controllable TRS provides us with a route to manipulate $Z_{2} $ and Chern topological phases in a single material by tuning the polarization of the ac--field. To demonstrate the idea, we consider a generic honeycomb lattice model as a benchmark system that is relevant to electronic structures of several monolayered materials. Our calculation shows that not only the transitions between $Z_{2}$ and Chern phases can be induced but also features such as the dispersion of the edge states can be controlled. This opens the possibility of manipulating various topological phases in a single material and can be a promising approach to engineer some new electronic states of matter.
