description: The Cerebral Palsy quality of life instrument is a well-known health-related quality of life measure for children with Cerebral Palsy. Due to its length it is not suitable as the basis of a preference-based instrument. The aim of this study is to develop a short version of the Cerebral Palsy quality of life instrument that can subsequently be scored as a multi-attribute utility instrument through assigning preference-based values. A sample of 473 participants who have a child with Cerebral Palsy completed the Cerebral Palsy quality of life instrument(proxy-version) instrument. After deleting questions related only to the proxy, the dimensional structure was obtained using exploratory factor analysis. Extended Rasch analysis was then undertaken to test the psychometric performance of items and select the best item to represent each dimension. Expert opinion was sought to confirm the dimensions and items. A six-dimension classification system was identified, in which four domains were extracted from the factor analysis. Following expert opinion, two other domains were also added, as these were considered to have significant impact on health-related quality of life in children with Cerebral Palsy. The combination of Factor and Rasch analysis along with consultation with patients, clinicians and experts in health-related quality-of-life instrument development, has resulted in a short version of the Cerebral Palsy quality of life instrument.IMPLICATION FOR REHABILITATIONThis study provides the first classification system for children with Cerebral Palsy.The Cerebral Palsy-six dimension (CP-6D) survey, which is a short version of Cerebral Palsy Quality Of Life instrument, can be timesaving when measuring quality of life in children with Cerebral Palsy.The short version (CP-6D) can be used in preference based measurement and generate quality adjusted life years for children with Cerebral Palsy.

description: Non-ambulant adults with cerebral palsy are at risk of developing asymmetry affecting thoracic cage, pelvis and hips. The primary aim of this study was to establish intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of the Goldsmith Indices of Body Symmetry in non-ambulant adults with cerebral palsy. The secondary aim was to establish comparative data for the Goldsmith Indices of Body Symmetry in healthy adults. Thirty non-ambulant young adults with cerebral palsy (17 males), and 48 young healthy controls (19 males), were recruited. Thoracic shape and symmetry, pelvic orientation and hip range, was measured using the Goldsmith Indices of Body Symmetry. Intra-rater reliability was established by repeated measurement within a single session. Inter-rater reliability was established having two raters measure each participant on two sequential sessions. Analysis utilised intraclass correlation coefficients. The Goldsmith Indices of Body Symmetry has excellent intra-rater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficients ≥0.97). Inter-rater reliability for all Goldsmith Indices of Body Symmetry measures was good to excellent (intraclass correlation coefficients ≥0.85). Range and variability of results was greater for participants with cerebral palsy compared to comparative data. The Goldsmith Indices of Body Symmetry has good inter and intra-rater reliability for measurement of thoracic shape and symmetry, pelvic orientation and hip range, allowing accurate tracking of postural changes over time in non-ambulant adults with cerebral palsy.Implications for rehabilitationThe Goldsmith Indices of Body Symmetry is a reliable clinical measurement tool to enable measurement of the thoracic shape and symmetry, pelvic and hip orientation in adults with cerebral palsy.The Goldsmith Indices of Body Symmetry, with an impairment focus, is a useful adjunct to the assessment and management of postural asymmetry in adults with cerebral palsy.

description: We extend the post-processing finite-size (FS) correction method, developed by Kwee, Zhang, and Krakauer [Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 126404 (2008)], to spin polarized systems. The method estimates the FS effects in many-body electronic structure calculations of extended systems by a modified density functional theory (DFT) calculation, without having to repeat expensive many-body simulations. We construct a unified FS DFT exchange-correlation functional for spin unpolarized and fully spin polarized systems, under the local density approximation. The results are then interpolated to arbitrary spin polarizations. Generalization to other functional forms in DFT are discussed. The application of this FS correction method to several typical magnetic systems with varying supercell sizes demonstrates that it consistently removes most of the FS errors, leading to rapid convergence of the many-body results to the infinite size limit.

description: A simple derivation of the spectra of the action-variables of the quantized compactified Ruijsenaars-Schneider system is presented. The spectra are obtained by combining Kahler quantization with the identification of the classical action-variables as a standard toric moment map on the complex projective space. The result is consistent with the Schrodinger quantization of the system worked out previously by van Diejen and Vinet.

description: This article discusses an extension of censored quantile regression to a distributed setting. With the growing availability of massive datasets, it is oftentimes an arduous task to analyze all the data with limited computational facilities efficiently. Our proposed method, which attempts to overcome this challenge, is comprised of two key steps, namely: (i) estimation of both Kaplan-Meier estimator and model coefficients in a parallel computing environment; (ii) aggregation of coefficient estimations from individual machines. We study the upper limit of the order of the number of machines for this computing environment, which, if fulfilled, guarantees that the proposed estimator converges at a comparable rate to that of the oracle estimator. In addition, we also provide two further modifications for distributed systems including (i) a communication-facilitated adaptation in the sense of Chen, Liu, and Zhang and (ii) a nonparametric counterpart along the direction of Kong and Xia for censored quantile regression. Numerical experiments are conducted to compare the proposed and the existing estimators. The promising results demonstrate the computation efficiency of the proposed methods. Finally, for practical concerns, a cross-validation procedure is also developed which can better select the hyperparameters for the proposed methodologies. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: We discuss two families of two-parameter entropies and divergences, derived from the standard Rényi and Tsallis entropies and divergences. These divergences and entropies are found as divergences or entropies of escort distributions. Exploiting the nonnegativity of the divergences, we derive the expression of the canonical distribution associated to the new entropies and a observable given as an escort-mean value. We show that this canonical distribution extends, and smoothly connects, the results obtained in nonextensive thermodynamics for the standard and generalized mean value constraints.

description: We have selected a sample of local E+A galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 for follow up integral field spectroscopy with the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) on the ANU 2.3-m telescope. The sample was selected using the Halpha line in place of the [OII]3727 line as the indicator of on-going star formation (or lack thereof). This allowed us to select a lower redshift sample of galaxies than available in the literature since the [OII]3727 falls off the blue end of the wavelength coverage in the SDSS for the very lowest redshift objects. This low redshift selection means that the galaxies have a large angular to physical scale which allows us to resolve the central ~1kpc region of the galaxies; the region where stellar population gradients are expected. Such observations have been difficult to make using other higher redshift samples because even at redshifts z~0.1 the angular to physical scale is similar to the resolution provided by ground based seeing. Our integral field spectroscopy has enabled us to make the first robust detections of Balmer line gradients in the centres of E+A galaxies. Six out of our sample of seven, and all the galaxies with regular morphologies, are observed to have compact and centrally-concentrated Balmer line absorption. This is evidence for compact young cores and stellar population gradients which are predicted from models of mergers and tidal interactions which funnel gas into the galaxy core. Given the generally isolated nature of our sample this argues for the galaxies being seen in the late stage of a merger where the progenitors have already coalesced.

description: Quantile regression is a popular method with a wide range of scientific applications, but the computation for quantile regression is challenging. Hunter and Lange (2000) proposed an MM algorithm for solving optimization problems in parametric quantile regression models. For nonparametric and semiparametric quantile regression, their algorithm can be applied to estimate unknown quantile functions in a pointwise manner. However, the resulting estimates may suffer from drawbacks like non-smooth with discontinuous points and unstable at extreme quantile levels. To remedy the above issues, we propose a new MM algorithm and show that it yields continuous, smoother, and faster estimated quantile functions. We systematically study the new MM algorithm using the local linear quantile regression model. We prove that the proposed algorithm preserves the monotone descent property in an asymptotic sense. We then extend it to some popular nonparametric and semiparametric quantile regression models. For semiparametric models, we propose new efficient backfitting algorithms based on the new MM algorithm. Compared to traditional backfitting algorithms, the new procedures can significantly reduce computational costs for fully iterative backfitting. The performance of the proposed algorithms is demonstrated via extensive simulation studies and a real data example.
Realism, universals, and the decline of nominalism

description: The problem of universals is an extremely old one that has lost none of its original interest or importance. Essentially, the problem is in how to best understand the nature of properties. Realism asserts that properties are abstract entities which are capable of being possessed by several concrete objects found in the world. Moderate nominalism asserts that properties are concrete entities which are only capable of being possessed by single concrete objects. Extreme nominalism simply denies that there are properties. I begin the thesis by arguing that however we think of properties, we must regard the problem of universals as a metaphysical problem. Linguistic solutions offered by people like Frege are entirely inadequate. We cannot make metaphysical headway by considerations of how we speak. In chapter three, I argue that the problem consists in trying to decide how to explain the fact that objects can 'agree' in their attributes. How is it that two apples can both be red? The extreme nominalist denies that there literally are such facts. The moderate nominalist answers that each apple possesses a concrete property and these properties are similar to each other. The realist claims that each apple both possess a numerically identical property. That property cannot, by itself and in its entirety, be locatable in space and time, at least in any obvious sense. Therefore it is an abstract entity. There are no special metaphysical problems with this view. In chapter four I argue that the concept of existence is a primitive one, applicable just as much to abstract entities as to concrete ones. With the three positions understood, I go on to show that we are rationally bound to accept the realist's solution. The extreme nominalist's position is simply implausible and inadequate. Moderate nominalism is less economical and less simple than realism. Realism is simple, economical, coherent, and plausible. Therefore, in the absence of any better theory, we are rationally bound to adopt realism. I conclude the thesis by looking at two historically important and influential theories of universals. The first, from Plato's early dialogues, is an immanent theory of universals. The second, Plato's famous Theory of Forms, is a transcendent one. I do not decide which of these theories is better, but by looking at them we gain a greater understanding of the realist's solution to the problem of universals.

description: Variable neighborhood search (VNS) is a metaheuristic for solving optimization problems based on a simple principle: systematic changes of neighborhoods within the search, both in the descent to local minima and in the escape from the valleys which contain them. Designing these neighborhoods and applying them in a meaningful fashion is not an easy task. Moreover, an appropriate order in which they are applied must be determined. In this paper we attempt to investigate this issue. Assume that we are given an optimization problem that is intended to be solved by applying the VNS scheme, how many and which types of neighborhoods should be investigated and what could be appropriate selection criteria to apply these neighborhoods. More specifically, does it pay to "look ahead" (see, e.g., in the context of VNS and GRASP) when attempting to switch from one neighborhood to another?

description: Highly time-resolved time-tagged FUSE satellite spectroscopic data are analysed to establish the far-ultraviolet (FUV) absorption line characteristics of the nova-like cataclysmic variable binary, V3885 Sgr. We determine the temporal behaviour of low (Ly_beta, CIII, NIII) and high (SIV, PV, OVI) ion species, and highlight corresponding orbital phase modulated changes in these lines. On average the absorption troughs are blueshifted due to a low velocity disc wind outflow. Very rapid (~ 5 min) fluctuations in the absorption lines are isolated, which are indicative of stochastic density changes. Doppler tomograms of the FUV lines are calculated which provide evidence for structures where a gas stream interacts with the accretion disc. We conclude that the line depth and velocity changes as a function of orbital phase are consistent with an asymmetry that has its origin in a line-emitting, localised disc-stream interaction region.

description: The Tibetan Plateau holds clues to understanding the dynamics and mechanisms associated with continental growth. Part of the region is characterized by zones of ophiolitic melange believed to represent the remnants of ancient oceanic crust and underlying upper mantle emplaced during oceanic closures. However, due to the remoteness of the region and the inhospitable terrain many areas have not received detailed investigation. Increased spatial and spectral resolution of satellite sensors have made it possible to map in greater detail the mineralogy and lithology than in the past. Recent work by Yoshiki Ninomiya of the Geological Survey of Japan has pioneered the use of several spectral indices for the mapping of quartzose, carbonate, and silicate rocks using Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) thermal infrared (TIR) data. In this study, ASTER TIR indices have been applied to a region in western-central Tibet for the purposes of assessing their effectiveness for differentiating ophiolites and other lithologies. The results agree well with existing geological maps and other published data. The study area was chosen due to its diverse range of rock types, including an ophiolitic melange, associated with the Bangong-Nujiang suture (BNS) that crops out on the northern shores of Lagkor Tso and Dong Tso ("Tso" is Tibetan for lake). The techniques highlighted in this paper could be applied to other geographical regions where similar geological questions need to be resolved. The results of this study aim to show the utility of ASTER TIR imagery for geological mapping in semi-arid and sparsely vegetated areas on the Tibetan Plateau.

description: This study utilized one-on-one interviews to explore the ways in which resilience is communicatively constructed and enacted within family conflict experiences. The purpose of this study is twofold: a) to explore how individuals communicatively enact and construct resilience through experiences of family conflict and b) to understand how individuals restructure family relationships through enactments of resilience. Three key findings emerged as a result of an iterative analysis of participant experiences: participants cultivated individual and relational resilience by (1) constructing hope and positively reframing destructive memorable messages and (2) communicatively co-creating vulnerability through (a) validation and authentic listening, (b) constructing meaningful bonds, and (c) enacting emotional openness. Individuals restructure their family relationships through (3) enactments of self-advocacy and communicating boundaries, and, in some cases, familial distancing and estrangement. This study offers novel theoretical contributions extending the communicative process of resilience within the context of family conflict experiences and connects with literatures on Hope Theory, memorable messages, vulnerability, emotional agility, and boundary setting.

description: Tukia and Vaisala showed that every quasi-conformal map of $\R^n$ extends to a quasi-conformal self-map of $\R^{n+1}$. The restriction of the extended map to the upper half-space $\R^n \times \R^+$ is, in fact, bi-Lipschitz with respect to the hyperbolic metric. More generally, every homogeneous negatively curved manifold decomposes as $M = N \rtimes \R^+$ where $N$ is a nilpotent group with a metric on which $\R^+$ acts by dilations. We show that under some assumptions on $N$, every quasi-symmetry of $N$ extends to a bi-Lipschitz map of $M$. The result applies to a wide class of manifolds $M$ including non-compact rank one symmetric spaces and certain manifolds that do not admit co-compact group actions. Although $M$ must be Gromov hyperbolic, its curvature need not be strictly negative.

description: We have observed the bulk Fermi surface (FS) in an overdoped ($x$=0.3) single crystal of La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ by using Compton scattering. A two-dimensional (2D) momentum density reconstruction from measured Compton profiles yields a clear FS signature in the third Brillouin zone along [100]. The quantitative agreement between density functional theory (DFT) calculations and momentum density experiment suggests that Fermi-liquid physics is restored in the overdoped regime. In particular the predicted FS topology is found to be in good accord with the corresponding experimental data. We find similar quantitative agreement between the measured 2D angular correlation of positron annihilation radiation (2D-ACAR) spectra and the DFT based computations. However, 2D-ACAR does not give such a clear signature of the FS in the extended momentum space in either the theory or the experiment.

A uniform Berry--Esseen theorem on $M$-estimators for geometrically ergodic Markov chains

description: Let $\{X_n\}_{n\ge0}$ be a $V$-geometrically ergodic Markov chain. Given some real-valued functional $F$, define $M_n(α):=n^{-1}\sum_{k=1}^nF(α,X_{k-1},X_k)$, $α\in\mathcal{A}\subset \mathbb {R}$. Consider an $M$ estimator $\hatα_n$, that is, a measurable function of the observations satisfying $M_n(\hatα_n)\leq \min_{α\in\mathcal{A}}M_n(α)+c_n$ with $\{c_n\}_{n\geq1}$ some sequence of real numbers going to zero. Under some standard regularity and moment assumptions, close to those of the i.i.d. case, the estimator $\hatα_n$ satisfies a Berry--Esseen theorem uniformly with respect to the underlying probability distribution of the Markov chain.

description: We analyze empirical relationships between the optical, near infrared, and HI characteristics of isolated galaxies from the 2MIG Catalog covering the entire sky. Data on morphological types, K_S-, and B-magnitudes, linear diameters, HI masses, and rotational velocities are examined. The regression parameters, dispersions, and correlation coefficients are calculated for pairs of these characteristics. The resulting relationships can be used to test the hierarchical theory of galaxy formation through numerous mergers of cold dark matter.

description: The readout of a classical memory can be modelled as a problem of quantum channel discrimination, where a decoder retrieves information by distinguishing the different quantum channels encoded in each cell of the memory [S. Pirandola, Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 090504 (2011)]. In the case of optical memories, such as CDs and DVDs, this discrimination involves lossy bosonic channels and can be remarkably boosted by the use of nonclassical light (quantum reading). Here we generalize these concepts by extending the model of memory from single-cell to multi-cell encoding. In general, information is stored in a block of cells by using a channel-codeword, i.e., a sequence of channels chosen according to a classical code. Correspondingly, the readout of data is realized by a process of "parallel" channel discrimination, where the entire block of cells is probed simultaneously and decoded via an optimal collective measurement. In the limit of an infinite block we define the quantum reading capacity of the memory, quantifying the maximum number of readable bits per cell. This notion of capacity is nontrivial when we suitably constrain the physical resources of the decoder. For optical memories (encoding bosonic channels), such a constraint is energetic and corresponds to fixing the mean total number of photons per cell. In this case, we are able to prove a separation between the quantum reading capacity and the maximum information rate achievable by classical transmitters, i.e., arbitrary classical mixtures of coherent states. In fact, we can easily construct nonclassical transmitters that are able to outperform any classical transmitter, thus showing that the advantages of quantum reading persist in the optimal multi-cell scenario.

description: The first radio surveys of the sky discovered that some large clusters of galaxies contained powerful sources of synchrotron emission. Optical images showed that long linear filaments with bizarre emission-line spectra permeated the intra-cluster medium. Recent observations in the infrared and radio show that these filaments have very strong emission lines of molecular hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The mass of molecular material is quite large, the gas is quite warm, and the filaments have not formed stars despite their ~Gyr age. I will discuss the general astrophysical context of large clusters of galaxies and how large masses of molecular gas can be heated to produce what we observe. The unique properties of the filaments are a result of the unique environment. Magnetically confined molecular filaments are surrounded by the hot intra-cluster medium. Thermal particles with keV energies enter atomic and molecular regions and produce a shower of secondary nonthermal electrons. These secondaries collisionally heat, excite, dissociate, and ionize the cool gas. While ionization is dominated by these secondary particles, recombination is controlled by charge exchange, which produces the unusual optical emission line spectrum. I will describe some of the physical processes that are unique to this environment and outline some of the atomic physics issues.
