Subjects: decision making, complex problem solving, optimization, mixed-integer nonlinear programming

description: The question “How can humans learn efficiently to make decisions in a complex, dynamic, and uncertain environment” is still a very open question. We investigate what effects arise when feedback is given in a computer-simulated microworld that is controlled by participants. This has a direct impact on training simulators that are already in standard use in many professions, e.g., for flight simulators for pilots, and a potential impact on a better understanding of human decision making in general.

Our study is based on a benchmark microworld with an economic framing, the IWR Tailorshop. N=94 participants played four rounds of the microworld, each 10 months, via a web interface. We propose a new approach to quantify performance and learning, which is based on a mathematical model of the microworld and optimization. Six participant groups receive different kinds of feedback in a training phase, then results in a performance phase without feedback are analyzed. As a main result, feedback of optimal solutions in training rounds improved model knowledge, early learning, and performance, especially when this information is encoded in a graphical representation (arrows).

description: The paper presents a new framework for complex Support Vector Regression as well as Support Vector Machines for quaternary classification. The method exploits the notion of widely linear estimation to model the input-out relation for complex-valued data and considers two cases: a) the complex data are split into their real and imaginary parts and a typical real kernel is employed to map the complex data to a complexified feature space and b) a pure complex kernel is used to directly map the data to the induced complex feature space. The recently developed Wirtinger's calculus on complex reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS) is employed in order to compute the Lagrangian and derive the dual optimization problem. As one of our major results, we prove that any complex SVM/SVR task is equivalent with solving two real SVM/SVR tasks exploiting a specific real kernel which is generated by the chosen complex kernel. In particular, the case of pure complex kernels leads to the generation of new kernels, which have not been considered before. In the classification case, the proposed framework inherently splits the complex space into four parts. This leads naturally in solving the four class-task (quaternary classification), instead of the typical two classes of the real SVM. In turn, this rationale can be used in a multiclass problem as a split-class scenario based on four classes, as opposed to the one-versus-all method; this can lead to significant computational savings. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework for regression and classification tasks that involve complex data.

description: A variant of the trace in a monoidal category is given in the setting of closed monoidal derivators, which is applicable to endomorphisms of fiberwise dualizable objects. Functoriality of this trace is established. As an application, an explicit formula for the trace of the homotopy colimit of endomorphisms over finite EI-categories is deduced. This result can be seen as a generalization of the additivity of traces in monoidal categories with a compatible triangulation.

title: Byron: Modes of modernity, a study of allusion and digression
Creators: name: Stabler, Susan Jane
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: English literature.

description: The thesis takes as its starting point an exploration and assessment of critical responses to sudden transitions of tone and juxtapositions of register in Byron's work. A survey of the reception of Byron's poetry and prose 1812- 1830 establishes that juxtaposition was recognised as a feature of Byron's writing well before the publication of the ottava rima poems. Juxtaposition is identified as a moment which generates digression and the thesis focuses on the relationship between digression and Byron's differing modes of allusion to other texts. The study examines the materiality of Byron's poetry in relation to eighteenth-century examples of self-reflexive narrative, digression and parodic quotation in verse, novels, and dramatic writing. In particular, the influence of the writing and receptions of Laurence Sterne and Charles Churchill are discussed, together with Byron's experience of dramatic prologues to eighteenth-century comedies. The thesis concentrates on Byron's experiments with the genre of satire, paying close attention to the way prose notes punctuate Byron's verse compositions. Detailed analyses of parenthetical asides and signalled allusions in Byron's early verse (1806-1811), Hints from Horace (1811 and 1820-21), and Don Juan Cantos VI-XVII (1822-24) suggest ways in which Byron's allusive play with other texts is inflected by dialogue with his changing public reception and the relationship with his publisher John Murray, and friend John Cam Hobhouse. Exploration of the literary texture of Don Juan reveals complex shifting patterns of Shakespearean allusion; and figures of contingency within the poem are related to the reader's role in constructing and responding to digression. As well as close reading of the published work, the thesis draws on unpublished correspondence between Murray and Byron and archive research into Byron's use of the Parisian newspaper Galignani's Messenger and Galignani's Literary Gazette. The thesis suggests that in Byron's ottava rima work digressive allusions create a mode of intertextuality which we recognise as anticipating modernist and postmodernist poetics of indeterminacy. The theories of Mikhail Bakhtin, Julia Kristeva, and Roland Barthes offer approaches to the texture of digressive allusion: the thesis draws on these theories and concludes that an historicized reading of form may provide a way of negotiating our recognition of similarities and differences between literary texts.

description: Institutions of justice, like prisons, can be used to serve economic and other extrajudicial interests, with lasting deleterious effects. We study the effects on incarceration when prisoners are used primarily as a source of labor using evidence from British colonial Nigeria. We digitized sixty-five years of archival records on prisons from 1920 to 1995 and provide new estimates on the value of prison labor and the effects of labor demand shocks on incarceration. We find that prison labor was economically valuable to the colonial regime, making up a significant share of colonial public works expenditure. Positive economic shocks increased incarceration rates over the colonial period. This result is reversed in the postcolonial period, where prison labor is not a notable feature of state public finance. We document a significant reduction in contemporary trust in legal institutions, like police, in areas with high historic exposure to colonial imprisonment. The resulting reduction in trust is specific to legal institutions today.
Thermodynamics of Quantum Isolated Horizons with model Hamiltonians

description: Following a recent proposal, we consider the most general structure possible for the Hamiltonian operator associated with the Quantum Isolated Horizon(QIH) with explanations of the underlying physical motivations. An extensive thermodynamic analysis with this model Hamiltonian is presented. Considering {\it fixed} number of punctures, the canonical partition function can now be written in the usual energy ensemble. Arguing that the known classical results must follow in the correspondence limit (viz. the equilibrium temperature as observed by a local observer) the model is fixed, yielding the energy spectrum of the QIH.

description: We provide an analysis of the correlation properties of spin and fermionic systems on a lattice evolving according to open system dynamics generated by a local primitive Liouvillian. We show that if the Liouvillian has a spectral gap which is independent of the system size, then the correlations between local observables decay exponentially as a function of the distance between their supports. We prove, furthermore, that if the Log-Sobolev constant is independent of the system size, then the system satisfies clustering of correlations in the mutual information - a much more stringent form of correlation decay. As a consequence, in the latter case we get an area law (with logarithmic corrections) for the mutual information. As a further corollary, we obtain a stability theorem for local distant perturbations. We also demonstrate that gapped free-fermionic systems exhibit clustering of correlations in the covariance and in the mutual information. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of these results for the classical simulation of open quantum systems with matrix-product operators and the robust dissipative preparation of topologically ordered states of lattice spin systems.

description: Despite the efforts to achieve a consistent classification scheme based on the complete S1 gene, the genetic characterization of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is often performed on partial S1 regions due to economic and time constraints in the diagnostic routine. Sanger sequencing remains the most common and cost-effective option even if the analysis of samples where multiple field and vaccine strain populations coexist can lead to partial or misleading results. The present study aimed to evaluate the different diagnostic outcomes of three commonly used RT–PCR methods targeting two regions of the S1 gene. A possible bias in IBV detection and characterization was investigated in relation to the adopted method, the strain concentration as well as their ratio in mixed samples. Thirty samples were prepared by artificially mixing two vaccine strains, combined at different ratios and selected among four different IBV lineages, i.e. GI-1 (Mass), GI-13 (793/B), GI-19 (QX), GI-23 (Israeli Variant 2). Sequence analysis was conducted both manually and with bioinformatic methods. The result agreement among methods, replicates and analysis approaches was statistically evaluated. Consistent results emerged among the three assays, with a few discrepancies likely caused by primer affinity and target amount. This study confirms the complexity of IBV strain identification and highlights the importance of evaluating and updating the available diagnostic assays for a reliable detection of all circulating IBV strains.

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this work we introduce a new type of urn model with infinite but countable many colors indexed by an appropriate infinite set. We mainly consider the indexing set of colors to be the $d$-dimensional integer lattice and consider balanced replacement schemes associated with bounded increment random walks on it. We prove central and local limit theorems for the random color of the $n$-th selected ball and show that irrespective of the null recurrent or transient behavior of the underlying random walks, the asymptotic distribution is Gaussian after appropriate centering and scaling. We show that the order of any non-zero centering is always ${\mathcal O}\left(\log n\right)$ and the scaling is ${\mathcal O}\left(\sqrt{\log n}\right)$. The work also provides similar results for urn models with infinitely many colors indexed by more general lattices in ${\mathbb R}^d$. We introduce a novel technique of representing the random color of the $n$-th selected ball as a suitably sampled point on the path of the underlying random walk. This helps us to derive the central and local limit theorems.

description: Purpose: Much of a child’s day is spent listening to speech in the presence of background noise. Although accurate vowel perception is important for listeners’ accurate speech perception and comprehension, little is known about children’s vowel perception in noise. “Clear speech” is a speech style frequently used by talkers in the presence of noise. This study investigated children’s identification of vowels in nonsense words in noise and examined whether adults’ use of clear speech would result in the children’s more accurate vowel identification. Method: Two female American-English (AE) speaking adults were recorded producing the nonsense word /gəbVpə/ with AE vowels /ɛ-æ-ɑ-ʌ/ in phrases in conversational and clear speech. These utterances were presented to 15 AE-speaking children (ages 5.0-8.5) at a signal-to-noise ratio of -6 dB. The children repeated the utterances. Results: Clear speech vowels were repeated significantly more accurately (87%) than conversational speech vowels (59%), suggesting that clear speech aids children’s vowel identification. Children repeated one talker’s vowels more accurately than the other’s, and front vowels more accurately than central and back vowels. Conclusions: The findings support the use of clear speech for enhancing adult-to-child communication in AE in noisy environments.

description: Children with dysarthria due to cerebral palsy (CP) present with decreased vowel space area and reduced word intelligibility. Although a robust relationship exists between vowel space and word intelligibility, little is known about the intelligibility of vowels in this population. This exploratory study investigated the intelligibility of American-English vowels produced by children with dysarthria and typically-developing children (TD). Three CP and five TD repeated words with contrastive vowels /i-ɪ/,/æ-ɛ/,/ɑ-ʌ/,/o-u/ produced by a native American-English adult. Adult listeners transcribed the utterances orthographically and rated their ease of understanding. Overall, CP presented with less-intelligible vowels than TD. For CP, a trend was found with the lowest intelligibility for /ɑ/ (CP=7%,TD=66%), /ɪ/ (CP=30%,TD=82%), and /ʌ/ (CP=38%,TD=99%), and more heterogeneous vowel confusions; however, intelligibility differences between vowels did not reach statistical significance. Clinical implications include that, unless further studies show vowel-specific effects, treatment targeting the entire vowel system may be warranted for increasing intelligibility.

Antipsychotic drugs counteract autophagy and mitophagy in multiple sclerosis
Creators: name: Dr. Simone Patergnani
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022
Subjects: Antipsychotic drugs

description: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disease characterized by myelin damage followed by axonal and ultimately neuronal loss. The etiology and physiopathology of MS are still elusive, and no fully effective therapy is yet available. We investigated the role in MS of autophagy (physiologically, a controlled intracellular pathway regulating the degradation of cellular components) and of mitophagy (a specific form of autophagy that removes dysfunctional mitochondria). We found that the levels of autophagy and mitophagy markers are significantly increased in the biofluids of MS patients during the active phase of the disease, indicating activation of these processes. In keeping with this idea, in vitro and in vivo MS models (induced by proinflammatory cytokines, lysolecithin, and cuprizone) are associated with strongly impaired mitochondrial activity, inducing a lactic acidmetabolism and prompting an increase in the autophagic flux and in mitophagy. Multiple structurally and mechanistically unrelated inhibitors of autophagy improved myelin production and normalized axonal myelination, and two such inhibitors, the widely used antipsychotic drugs haloperidol and clozapine, also significantly improved cuprizone-induced motor impairment. These data suggest that autophagy has a causal role in MS; its inhibition strongly attenuates behavioral signs in an experimental model of the disease. Therefore, haloperidol and clozapine may represent additional therapeutic tools against MS.

description: Um den Einfluss von reiseassoziierten COVID-19-Fällen auf das lokale In¬fektionsgeschehen in Deutschland zu verstehen, ist eine kontinuierliche Bewertung der Fallzahlen unter Berücksichtigung der Reisetätigkeit, Quarantäne- und Teststrategie, notwendig. Quarantäne und Tests nach der Einreise nach Deutschland sollen die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer SARS-CoV-2-Übertragung verringern. Daten aus dem Stadtkreis Offenbach geben Hinweise darauf, dass Personen nach der Einreise häufig erst innerhalb von fünf Tagen Symptome zeigten und das symp¬tombasierte Screenings bei Einreise somit nur ei¬nen kleinen Anteil der Fälle erkennen würde. Es bleibt wichtig zu kommunizieren, dass ein ne¬gativer Test falsche Sicherheit vermitteln kann und dass Personen sich bei Auftreten von mit COVID-19 vereinbaren Symptomen erneut testen und absondern müssen.

description: Articulatory precision is a critical factor that influences speaker intelligibility. In this paper, we propose a new measure we call ‘articulation entropy’ that serves as a proxy for the number of distinct phonemes a person produces when he or she speaks. The method is based on the observation that the ability of a speaker to achieve an articulatory target, and hence clearly produce distinct phonemes, is related to the variation of the distribution of speech features that capture articulation - the larger the variation, the larger the number of distinct phonemes produced. In contrast to previous work, the proposed method is completely unsupervised, does not require phonetic segmentation or formant estimation, and can be estimated directly from continuous speech. We evaluate the performance of this measure with several experiments on two data sets: a database of English speakers with various neurological disorders and a database of Mandarin speakers with Parkinson’s disease. The results reveal that our measure correlates with subjective evaluation of articulatory precision and reveals differences between healthy individuals and individuals with neurological impairment.

description: We have explored the occurrence of the spherical shell closures for superheavy nuclei in the framework of the relativistic Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (RHFB) theory. Shell effects are characterized in terms of two-nucleon gaps $δ_{2n(p)}$. Although the results depend slightly on the effective Lagrangians used, the general set of magic numbers beyond $^{208}$Pb are predicted to be $Z = 120$, $138$ for protons and $N = 172$, 184, 228 and 258 for neutrons, respectively. Specifically the RHFB calculations favor the nuclide $^{304}$120 as the next spherical doubly magic one beyond $^{208}$Pb. Shell effects are sensitive to various terms of the mean-field, such as the spin-orbit coupling, the scalar and effective masses.

description: Purpose: To examine the effects of intensive speech treatment on the conversational intelligibility of Castilian Spanish speakers with Parkinson’s disease (PD), as well as on the speakers’ self-perceptions of disability. Method: Fifteen speakers with a medical diagnosis of PD participated in this study. Speech recordings were completed twice before treatment, immediately post-treatment and at a one-month follow-up session. Conversational intelligibility was assessed in two ways—transcription accuracy scores and intelligibility ratings on a 9-point Likert scale. The Voice Handicap Index (VHI) was administered as a measure of self-perceived disability. Results: Group data revealed that transcription accuracy and median ease-of-understanding ratings increased significantly immediately post-treatment, with gains maintained at the one-month follow-up. The functional subscale of the VHI decreased significantly post-treatment, suggesting a decrease in perceived communication disability after speech treatment. Conclusion: These findings support the implementation of intensive voice treatment to improve conversational intelligibility in Spanish speakers with PD with dysarthria as well as to improve the speakers' perception of their daily communicative capabilities. Clinical and theoretical considerations are discussed.
The Radius Distribution of Planets Around Cool Stars

description: We calculate an empirical, non-parametric estimate of the shape of the period-marginalized radius distribution of planets with periods less than 150 days using the small yet well-characterized sample of cool ($T_{\rm eff} <4000 $K) dwarf stars in the Kepler catalog. In particular, we present and validate a new procedure, based on weighted kernel density estimation, to reconstruct the shape of the planet radius function down to radii smaller than the completeness limit of the survey at the longest periods. Under the assumption that the period distribution of planets does not change dramatically with planet radius, we show that the occurrence of planets around these stars continues to increase to below 1 $R_\oplus$, and that there is no strong evidence for a turnover in the planet radius function. In fact, we demonstrate using many iterations of simulated data that a spurious turnover may be inferred from data even when the true distribution continues to rise toward smaller radii. Finally, the sharp rise in the radius distribution below $\sim$3 $R_\oplus$ implies that a large number of planets await discovery around cool dwarfs as the sensitivities of ground-based transit surveys increase.

description: Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία εφαρμόζεται η μέθοδος γεωραντάρ (GPR) για τον εντοπισμό εγκοίλων σε τμήμα του νέου δρόμου Μουζουρά-Μαραθίου Χανίων. Συγκεκριμένα, για την εξαγωγή των επιθυμητών αποτελεσμάτων, πραγματοποιήθηκε επεξεργασία δεδομένων GPS και GPR κεραίας 400 MHz.
Αρχικά, δημιουργήθηκε κάναβος στο υπολογιστικό πρόγραμμα Excel και βρέθηκαν οι συντεταγμένες των περιεχόμενων μετρήσεων GPR. Για την επεξεργασία τους χρησιμοποιήθηκε το λογισμικό matGPR το οποίο αποτελεί υποπρόγραμμα του λοσμικού Matlab. Στη συνέχεια, κατασκευάστηκαν στο Excel δύο κανονικοποιημένοι κάναβοι και αναπτύχθηκαν αλγόριθμοι στη Matlab μέσω των οποίων δημιουργήθηκε η παρεμβολή των δεδομένων GPR. Ο όγκος των δεδομένων του κάθε κανάβου εισήχθησε στο λογισμικό Transform με σκοπό την απεικόνισή του για διάφορες χρονικές στιγμές. Επίσης, για την καλύτερη απεικόνιση της περιοχής μελέτης, την εύρεση των συντεταγμένων των ακμών των κανάβων αλλά και για τον ποιοτικό έλεγχο της παρεμβολής χρησιμοποιήθηκε το λογισμικό AutoCAD της Autodesk.
Τέλος, πραγματοποιήθηκε η ερμηνεία των δεδομένων συνδυάζοντας τα αποτελέσματα του matGPR και του Transform, καταλήγοντας στον εντοπισμό μιας διαταραγμένης ζώνης μέσα στην οποία είναι πιθανή η ύπαρξη μικρών εγκοίλων.

description: This paper describes a dataset of residential electricity household and heat pump load profiles, measured in 38 single-family houses in Northern Germany. We provide data per household of apparent, active and reactive power (W), voltage (V), current (A) and the power factor (no unit) in 10 seconds to 60 minutes temporal resolution from May 2018 to the end of 2020. We validated the dataset both in itself, comparing different measurements that should produce the same results, and externally to standard load profiles and found no major inconsistencies. We identified an average consumption per single-family house with 2.38 inhabitants of 2829 kWh for the household and an additional 4993 kWh for the heat pump. The dataset can support the understanding of patterns in electrical load curves and can help to estimate the additional load on distribution networks induced by heat pumps.
