description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit verschiedenen stochastischen Optimierungsproblemen. Die behandelten Optimierungsaufgaben sind bei festem Input schon gut in der Literatur untersucht. Hier werden neue Einblicke für den Fall gegeben, dass sich der Input messbar in Bezug auf einen Maßraum ändert. Mit Hilfe von Auswahltheoremen werden Lösungen der Optimierungsaufgaben so gewählt, dass sie sich messbar indizieren lassen. Solche Resultate werden für Probleme des optimalen Transports, Skorokhod-Einbettungen und das Auffinden von Baryzentren von Wahrscheinlichkeitsmaßen in Wassersteinräumen gezeigt. Weiters wird der Zusammenhang zwischen der Regularität von Kostenfunktionen und der daraus resultierenden Zielfunktion behandelt und es wird gezeigt, wie sich allgemeine Optimierungsprobleme auf Probleme des optimalen Transports reduzieren lassen. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist, einfache, aber starke Sätze zu geben, die die Messbarkeit von Familien von stochastischen Optimierungsproblemen sicherstellen.
description: This thesis is focused on different stochastic optimization problems. While the problems are well studied for a fixed input, this thesis adds new insights for cases where the input varies in a measurable way with respect to a measurable index space. Using selection theorems solutions to the stochastic optimization problems are chosen in such a way that they can be indexed measurably. In particular, optimal transport problems, Skorokhod embeddings and barycenters of probability measures in Wasserstein spaces are considered. Furthermore, the relationship between the regularity of cost functions and resulting target functions for optimal transport problems are discussed and a way to reduce general optimization problems to optimal transport problems is shown. The goal of this thesis is to provide simple but powerful theorems to guarantee measurability of solutions when families of optimization problems are considered.

description: Higher criticism, or second-level significance testing, is a multiple-comparisons concept mentioned in passing by Tukey. It concerns a situation where there are many independent tests of significance and one is interested in rejecting the joint null hypothesis. Tukey suggested comparing the fraction of observed significances at a given α-level to the expected fraction under the joint null. In fact, he suggested standardizing the difference of the two quantities and forming a z-score; the resulting z-score tests the significance of the body of significance tests. We consider a generalization, where we maximize this z-score over a range of significance levels 0

Identification of novel genetic alterations in oral squamous cell carcinoma

description: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common head and neck neoplasm, affecting approximately 400,000 people annually worldwide. Most cases are not diagnosed until the advanced stages of the disease resulting in a five-year survival rate of 50%. Application of high resolution genomic analysis techniques for the detection of novel molecular markers and targets will greatly benefit the prevention and management of this disease. Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) enables the detection of segmental gains and losses of DNA. We constructed a 3p-arm specific array comprised of 535 near-overlapping BAC clones for the identification of minimal regions of gain and loss on this chromosome arm. Application of this array to 19 OSCC specimens enabled the identification and characterization of five minimal regions of alteration including 4 regions of loss, and, interestingly, 1 region of gain. 3p loss is a common event in OSCC; however, segmental gains on this arm have not been previously described. Further construction of a whole genome sub-megabase resolution tiling set (SMRT) array comprised of 32,433 overlapping BAC clones spanning the entire human genome made possible the analysis of the genome of an additional set of 20 OSCC specimens at unprecedented resolution. Comparison of these OSCC genomes allowed the identification of well-known alterations as well as novel minimal regions including gains at 3q23, 5pl5.2, 7pl2.3-13, 7q21.2, and 7q35, and losses at 2pl5, 4q34.3, and 16q23.2. Most of these novel alterations are submegabase in size, suggesting that they may have been missed by conventional, lower resolution techniques. A selection of the novel gains was confirmed through reverse transcriptase PCR expression analysis of genes within those regions such as TRIO at 5pl5.2, TEM6 at 7pl2.3-13, and CDK6 at 7q21.2, all of which showed elevated expression in tumours compared to normal oral epithelial cells. This study represents the first application of tiling resolution aCGH technology for the detailed analysis of clinical specimens and demonstrates the invaluable power of tiling resolution aCGH technology for the analysis of OSCC genomes. Here, we demonstrate that novel sub-megabase minimal regions of alteration are recurrent events in OSCC genomes. The identification of genes previously implicated in cancer or with functional roles in the cell-cycle and/or signal transduction within these minimal submegabase alterations suggests the importance of these alterations in OSCC. Further assessment of these genes and their respective pathways, both at the expression and functional level, may lead to the development of novel drug therapies targeting these gene products.

description: We have analyzed the K+K- photoproduction on hydrogen in the effective mass region around the mass of the phi(1020) meson. The interference of the S-wave contribution with the P-wave has been studied. Both scalar resonances f0(980) and a0(980) have been taken into account. We have obtained a good description of the available experimental data, in particular the mass distributions and the moments of the kaon angular distribution. Our calculations give values of the integrated S-wave total photoproduction cross section between 4 and 7 nb for the K+K- effective mass range around the phi(1020) mass and at the laboratory photon energy near 5 GeV. These numbers favor lower experimental estimates obtained at DESY.

description: I briefly review a recent series of papers putting forward a coarse-grained theoretical approach to the physics of supercooled liquids approaching their glass transition. After a suitable coarse-graining, the dynamics of the liquid is replaced by that of a mobility field, which can then be analytically treated. The statistical properties of the mobility field then determine those of the liquid. Thermodynamic, spatial, topographic, dynamic properties of the liquid can then be quantitatively described within a single framework, and derive from the existence of an underlying dynamic critical point located at zero-temperature, where timescales and lengthscales diverge.

description: Evidence of the Ettingshausen effect in the breakdown regime of the integer quantum Hall effect has been observed in a GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron system. Resistance of micro Hall bars attached to both edges of a current channel shows remarkable asymmetric behaviors which indicate an electron temperature difference between the edges. The sign of the difference depends on the direction of the electric current and the polarity of the magnetic field. The results are consistent with the recent theory of Akera.

description: Taking the SCP mode of industrial organization theory as the starting point, the paper analyzes Chinese agricultural market structure, market behavior and performance and draw lessons from foreign experiences in developing agriculture. In the process of agricultural industrialization, Chinese agricultural development exists the problems of low intensive degree, low degree of differential products, surplus labor forces, low agricultural profit rate and low industrial contribution rate and farmers’ difficultly in adapting to market competition. The paper puts forward some suggestions for addressing the problems, which include underpinning the cooperation of operation main bodies and developing rural cooperative organizations; promoting land transfer and clarifying land property; accelerating rural surplus labors transfer and abating trade barriers; increasing technology input and improving the contribution rate of technologies; improving circulation channels and intensifying agricultural competitiveness.
Above-well, Stark, and potential-barrier resonances of an open square well in a static external electric field

description: Besides the well known Stark resonances, which are localized in the potential well and tunnel through the potential barrier created by the dc-field, "strange" long and short-lived resonances are analytically obtained. These resonances are not localized inside the potential well. We show that the narrow ones are localized above the potential well. These narrow resonances give rise to a {\it peak structure} in a 1D scattering experiment. We also show that the broad overlapping resonances are associated with the static electric field potential barrier. These "strange" overlapping resonances do not give rise to a {\it peak structure} in a 1D scattering experiment. We propose a 2D experimental set-up where in principle these short-lived states should be observed as {\it peaks}. Broad overlapping resonances, associated only with the static electric field potential barrier, could also have observable effects in a $N>1$ array of quantum wells in the presence of a truncated static electric field. This last problem is associated with the resonance tunnelling phenomena which are used in the construction of resonance-tunnelling diodes and transistors.

description: On the basis of summarizing some literatures regarding research of agricultural production efficiency by using DEA at home, we conduct empirical analysis on agricultural production efficiency in 18 cities or counties of Hainan Province in the year 2002, 2005 and 2008 by using DEA model. The results show that in 2005 Hainan Province suffered from unusual drought and windstorm, which made the effective value of agricultural production in all cities or counties relatively low; the regions with DEA effectiveness of agricultural production in the year 2002, 2005 and 2008 were Qionghai City, Tunchang County, Lingao County, Danzhou City, Qiongzhong County and Baisha County. Haikou City, Wuzhishan City and Baoting County in the year 2002, Lingshui County in the year 2005 and Sanya City and Dongfang City in the year 2008 were also regions with DEA effectiveness, indicating that the input-output of these regions in the corresponding years is in optimal state. Finally, we conduct projection analysis on six cities and counties with non-DEA effectiveness in the year 2008 in Hainan Province, and based on this, find out the approach of improving agricultural production efficiency in these regions.
SAGE2Splice : unmapped SAGE tags reveal novel splice junctions
Creators: name: Kuo, Byron Yu-Lin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) not only is a method for profiling the global expression of genes, but also offers the opportunity for the discovery of novel transcripts. SAGE tags are mapped to known transcripts to determine the source of tags. We hypothesized that tags that map neither to a known transcript nor to the genome span a splice junction, for which the exon combination or exon(s) are unknown. Splice junctions are typically recognized by the pair of highly conserved dinucleotides at each edge of an intron, GT at the 5' end and AG at the 3' end, as well as by other less conserved nucleotides flanking the junctions. In the known transcriptome, between 1.6 to 6.2% of predicted tags span a splice junction. We have developed an algorithm, SAGE2Splice, to efficiently map these unmapped SAGE tags to potential splice junctions in a genome. An evaluation scheme was designed based on position weight matrices to t assess the quality of candidates. Candidates were classified into three types of spliced tags, reflecting the previous annotations of the putative splice junctions. A Type I tag spans a novel junction where the exons are known; a Type 2 tag spans a previously known and an unknown exon; and a Type 3 tag spans two previously unknown exons. Analysis of predicted tags extracted from EST sequences demonstrated that candidate junctions having the splice junction located closer to the centre of the tags are more reliable. Using high sensitivity and high specificity parameters, 7,757 candidates were predicted from 1,639 of 20,000 unmapped tags by SAGE2Splice. We selected 12 r candidates splice junctions and tested them using RT-PCR. Nine of these twelve candidates were validated by RT-PCR and sequencing, and among these, four revealed previously uncharacterized exons. To screen more unmapped SAGE tags, we proposed methods to improve SAGE2Splice in engineering efficiency, program usability, and candidate evaluation methods, as well as to include a high throughput laboratory procedure for testing the predicted candidates. We expect that many more novel transcripts can be discovered using SAGE2Splice. SAGE2Splice is available online at http://www.bcgsc.ca/sage2splice/.

We conduct comprehensive evaluation on developmental level of agricultural circular economy from 1998 to 2007 in Hunan Province. The analysis results show that the agricultural circular economy of Hunan Province from 1998 to 2007, on the whole, has the tendency of development with annual growth rate of 1.89%. The annual decrease rate of recycling of resources and reducing input of resources from 1999 to 2003 is 25% and 11% respectively, which has become the main factor impeding development of agricultural circular economy. After the year 2003, it is mainly reducing input of resources.

description: The five explanatory indicators of the competitiveness of characteristic agriculture are the agricultural science and technology, the cultural quality of agricultural labor force, the agricultural infrastructure, the resource endowment, and the agricultural management scale. According to these explanatory indicators, competitiveness of characteristic agriculture is relatively strong in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China, which is mainly reflected in the resource advantage, irrigation degree, and road construction level. However, the agricultural technology level, the cultural quality of agricultural labor force, the agricultural mechanization, and the agricultural management scale have relatively poor competitiveness. Therefore, more attention should be paid in these aspects, in order to improve the competitiveness of characteristic agriculture in Guangxi.

description: According to the 2000-2010 Jiangsu Statistical Yearbook, per capita ecological footprint and per capita ecological carrying capacity in Jiangsu Province in the years 2001-2009 are analyzed starting from the ecological footprint model. Per capita ecological deficit is measured, as well as the pressure index of ecological footprint in order to judge the grade of ecological security and to objectively evaluate the ecological security of Jiangsu Province. GM(1,1) grey forecasting model is used to forecast the ecological security of Jiangsu Province in the years 2010-2014. Research shows that in the next 5 years, both the per capita ecological footprint and the pressure index of ecological footprint will increase by 4% and 3.7% each year, respectively. And the ecological status in Jiangsu Province will be extremely unsafe. To achieve the coordinated development of ecological security and economy of Jiangsu Province, we should strictly control the population growth, rationally utilize the land resources, and strengthen the ecological restoration and construction.

description: The theory of the country-of -origin image is discussed and the natural relations between county-of-origin image and the regional brand are explored. The paper points out that the dispersion of agriculture has intensified the natural relations to a large extent. The paper probes into the branding status of agriculture in Guanzhong-Tianshui economic zone and points out the problems of it. In the first place, the agricultural industrial system is complete but there is no unified agricultural regional brand; in the second place, the weak awareness on protecting brand leads to the irrational behaviors on damaging brand. From the perspective of the image of the country of origin, the branding mode of agriculture is established and the countermeasures on improving the competitiveness of agricultural products are put forward. Firstly, the leading role of the government should be fully displayed; secondly, the image protection of original production place and regional brand promotion of the agricultural region should be intensified; thirdly, the functions of local pillar industries in protecting image and regional branding should be fully made use of.

description: ML-estimation based on mixtures of Normal distributions is a widely used tool for cluster analysis. However, a single outlier can make the parameter estimation of at least one of the mixture components break down. Among others, the estimation of mixtures of t-distributions by McLachlan and Peel [Finite Mixture Models (2000) Wiley, New York] and the addition of a further mixture component accounting for ``noise'' by Fraley and Raftery [The Computer J. 41 (1998) 578-588] were suggested as more robust alternatives. In this paper, the definition of an adequate robustness measure for cluster analysis is discussed and bounds for the breakdown points of the mentioned methods are given. It turns out that the two alternatives, while adding stability in the presence of outliers of moderate size, do not possess a substantially better breakdown behavior than estimation based on Normal mixtures. If the number of clusters s is treated as fixed, r additional points suffice for all three methods to let the parameters of r clusters explode. Only in the case of r=s is this not possible for t-mixtures. The ability to estimate the number of mixture components, for example, by use of the Bayesian information criterion of Schwarz [Ann.

Furthermore, a mixture of Normals with an improper uniform distribution is proposed to achieve more robustness in the case of a fixed number of components.

description: Touristic cities will suffer from COVID-19 emergency because of its economic impact on their communities. The first emergency phases involved a wide closure of such areas to support "social distancing" measures (i.e. travels limitation; lockdown of (over)crowd-prone activities). In the second phase, individual's risk-mitigation strategies (facial masks) could be properly linked to "social distancing" to ensure re-opening touristic cities to visitors. Simulation tools could support the effectiveness evaluation of risk-mitigation measures to look for an economic and social optimum for activities restarting. This work modifies an existing Agent-Based Model to estimate the virus spreading in touristic areas, including tourists and residents' behaviours, movement and virus effects on them according to a probabilistic approach. Consolidated proximity-based and exposure-time-based contagion spreading rules are included according to international health organizations and previous calibration through experimental data. Effects of tourists' capacity (as "social distancing"-based measure) and other strategies (i.e. facial mask implementation) are evaluated depending on virus-related conditions (i.e. initial infector percentages). An idealized scenario representing a significant case study has been analysed to demonstrate the tool capabilities and compare the effectiveness of those solutions. Results show that "social distancing" seems to be more effective at the highest infectors' rates, although represents an extreme measure with important economic effects. This measure loses its full effectiveness (on the community) as the infectors' rate decreases and individuals' protection measures become predominant (facial masks). The model could be integrated to consider other recurring issues on tourist-related fruition and schedule of urban spaces and facilities (e.g. cultural/leisure buildings).

description: The relativistic mean field (RMF) model is applied to a system of nucleons and a $\bar K$ meson, interacting via scalar and vector boson fields. The model incorporates the standard RMF phenomenology for bound nucleons and, for the $\bar K$ meson, it relates to low-energy ${\bar K}N$ and $K^-$ atom phenomenology. Deeply bound $\bar K$ nuclear states are generated dynamically across the periodic table and are exhibited for $^{12}$C and $^{16}$O over a wide range of binding energies. Substantial polarization of the core nucleus is found for these light nuclei. Absorption modes are also included dynamically, considering explicitly the reduced phase space for $\bar K$ absorption from deeply bound states. The behavior of the calculated width as function of the $\bar K$ binding energy is studied in order to explore limits on the possible existence of narrow $\bar K$ nuclear states.

description: Taking Jiangxi Province as an example, on the basis of the sampling survey on 42 counties and cities, 64 towns and 74 villages in Jiangxi Province, the will of farmland transfer among different farmer groups with different income levels, different ages, and different educational background, is analyzed. The research indicates that as for middle-income or high-income groups, leaving home to seek jobs elsewhere is the most principal factor impacting farmland transfer, while as for low-income group, the price of agricultural products is an important factor impacting farmers’ land cultivation; permanent urban residence certificate is no longer the principal factor causing farmers’ land transfer, and it tends to be rational for farmers to abandon farmland.
Chiral N=1 4d Orientifolds with D-branes at Angles

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: D6-branes intersecting at angles allow for phenomenologically appealing constructions of four dimensional string theory vacua. While it is straightforward to obtain non-supersymmetric realizations of the standard model, supersymmetric and stable models with three generations and no exotic chiral matter require more involved orbifold constructions. The T^6/(Z_4 x Z_2 x OmegaR) case is discussed in detail. Other orbifolds including fractional D6-branes are treated briefly.

description: We propose a novel approach to compute the cross section of near-threshold $J/ψ$ and $Υ$ production in electron-proton scattering at large photon virtualities $Q^2$ based on an operator product expansion. We show that the process can be used to extract the gluon part of the D-term gravitational form factor of the proton. At the subleading level, it is also sensitive to the trace anomaly effect of QCD.

description: On the basis of describing characteristics and condition of application of natural growth model of population, weighted average growth model, regression forecast model and GM（1,1）forecast model, taking Gushi County in Henan Province as an example, according to the statistics of population in Gushi County Statistical Yearbook from 1991 to 2007, we establish four models to conduct fitting on population change respectively, and meanwhile, we predict population size from 2008 to 2009 and conduct preciseness test on the population size. The test results show that the preciseness of forecast results of natural growth model is not high, and the preciseness of forecast results of weighted average growth model is not scientific when the total size of population is unstable. The results of GM（1,1）forecast model and regression forecast model largely conform to the actual data, so we can take the mean of the two as the final forecast result.

description: This paper investigates the management strategies and responses used by New Zealand sheep and beef farmers to ensure resilience during periods of hardship. Using two, farm level surveys conducted in 1986 and 2010, some aspects of resilient farming systems were identified. Despite apparent hardship current farmers seemed more willing to take risks, with many more borrowing to invest in on farm developments than those in 1986. The main similarity between time periods was the greatest response to economic changes being the adoption of a low input policy. This result was quite significant, as conventional farmers are generally believed to resort to other strategies or responses.

description: We tackle the image reassembly problem with wide space between the fragments, in such a way that the patterns and colors continuity is mostly unusable. The spacing emulates the erosion of which the archaeological fragments suffer. We crop-square the fragments borders to compel our algorithm to learn from the content of the fragments. We also complicate the image reassembly by removing fragments and adding pieces from other sources. We use a two-step method to obtain the reassemblies: 1) a neural network predicts the positions of the fragments despite the gaps between them; 2) a graph that leads to the best reassemblies is made from these predictions. In this paper, we notably investigate the effect of branch-cut in the graph of reassemblies. We also provide a comparison with the literature, solve complex images reassemblies, explore at length the dataset, and propose a new metric that suits its specificities. Keywords: image reassembly, jigsaw puzzle, deep learning, graph, branch-cut, cultural heritage

description: Traditional search algorithms for computer hologram generation such as Direct Search and Simulated Annealing offer some of the best hologram qualities at convergence when compared to rival approaches. Their slow generation times and high processing power requirements mean, however, that they see little use in performance critical applications. This paper presents the novel Sorted Pixel Selection (SPS) modification for Holographic Search Algorithms (HSAs) that offers Mean Square Error (MSE) reductions in the range of 14.7 - 19.2% for the test images used. SPS operates by substituting a weighted search selection procedure for traditional random pixel selection processes. While small, the improvements seen are observed consistently across a wide range of test cases and require limited overhead for implementation.
