description: Google Play's policy forbids the use of incentivized installs, ratings, and reviews to manipulate the placement of apps. However, there still exist apps that incentivize installs for other apps on the platform. To understand how install-incentivizing apps affect users, we examine their ecosystem through a socio-technical lens and perform a mixed-methods analysis of their reviews and permissions. Our dataset contains 319K reviews collected daily over five months from 60 such apps that cumulatively account for over 160.5M installs. We perform qualitative analysis of reviews to reveal various types of dark patterns that developers incorporate in install-incentivizing apps, highlighting their normative concerns at both user and platform levels. Permissions requested by these apps validate our discovery of dark patterns, with over 92% apps accessing sensitive user information. We find evidence of fraudulent reviews on install-incentivizing apps, following which we model them as an edge stream in a dynamic bipartite graph of apps and reviewers. Our proposed reconfiguration of a state-of-the-art microcluster anomaly detection algorithm yields promising preliminary results in detecting this fraud. We discover highly significant lockstep behaviors exhibited by reviews that aim to boost the overall rating of an install-incentivizing app. Upon evaluating the 50 most suspicious clusters of boosting reviews detected by the algorithm, we find (i) near-identical pairs of reviews across 94% (47 clusters), and (ii) over 35% (1,687 of 4,717 reviews) present in the same form near-identical pairs within their cluster. Finally, we conclude with a discussion on how fraud is intertwined with labor and poses a threat to the trust and transparency of Google Play.

description: We study the phenomenology of the Higgs-Dilaton model in the context of Einstein-Cartan gravity, focusing on the separate impact of the Holst and Nieh-Yan terms on the inflationary observables. Using analytical and numerical techniques, we show the predictions of these scenarios to display an attractor-like behaviour intrinsically related to the curvature of the field-space manifold in the metric formulation of the theory. Beyond that, the analysis of the Nieh-Yan case reveals the existence of an additional attractor solution induced by a cubic pole in the inflaton kinetic term that becomes relevant at large dilaton couplings. This constitutes a unique feature of the Einstein-Cartan formulation as compared to the metric and Palatini counterparts.

description: Penetrance, which plays a key role in genetic research, is defined as the proportion of individuals with the genetic variants (i.e., genotype) that cause a particular trait and who have clinical symptoms of the trait (i.e., phenotype). We propose a Bayesian semiparametric approach to estimate the cancer-specific age-at-onset penetrance in the presence of the competing risk of multiple cancers. We employ a Bayesian semiparametric competing risk model to model the duration until individuals in a high-risk group develop different cancers, and accommodate family data using family-wise likelihoods. We tackle the ascertainment bias arising when family data are collected through probands in a high-risk population in which disease cases are more likely to be observed. We apply the proposed method to a cohort of 186 families with Li-Fraumeni syndrome identified through probands with sarcoma treated at MD Anderson Cancer Center from 1944 to 1982.

description: The photoluminescence and spin properties of ensembles of color centers in silicon carbide are enhanced by fabricating optically isolated slab waveguide structures and carefully controlling annealing and cooling conditions. We find that the photoluminescence signal of an ensemble of implanted defects is enhanced in slab waveguides by an order of magnitude over identically implanted bulk defects. The slab waveguide-enhanced photoluminescence of several defect species is used to study recombination and diffusion in the presence of thermal annealing with both rapid quench cooling and a longer return to ambient conditions. The confined mechanical geometry of the thin film is exploited to measure the spin-strain coupling of the negatively charged silicon monovacancy. The methods in this work can be used to exercise greater control on near-surface emitters in silicon carbide and better understand and control the effects of strain on spin measurements of silicon carbide based color centers.

description: Die vorliegende Studie beinhaltet einen Vergleich einiger diesbezüglich relevanter Länder: der USA, Deutschland, der Niederlande und Russland. Neben einer kritischen Überprüfung des jeweiligen nationalen Status quo (z. B. im Hinblick auf Datenbeschaffung, Überwachung etc.) konzentriert sie sich auf die ausgeprägten Unstimmigkeiten bezüglich der in jedem einzelnen Gassegment gemeldeten Gasverluste. Von besonderer Bedeutung sind dabei die USA, wo die Schätzungen der Upstream-Gasleckraten (Exploration, Förderung, Produktion) wesentlich höher ausfallen als die entsprechenden Raten in Europa. An Überprüfungen dieser Art mangelt es nach wie vor weltweit, obwohl das Bewusstsein für dieses Problem zunimmt, was wiederum verschiedene Initiativen internationaler Institutionen [Wirtschaftskommission für Europa der Vereinten Nationen (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, UNECE)], NGOs [Bündnis für Klima und saubere Luft (Oil & Gas Methane Partnership, Climate and Clean Air Coalition, CCAC)] und Gasbetreiber (Marcogaz) belegen. Um die ehrgeizigen internationalen Ziele zu erreichen, die im Pariser Klimaabkommen festgeschrieben wurden, müssen die politischen Entscheidungsträger in Zusammenarbeit mit der Erdgasindustrie zeitnah angemessene Maßnahmen ergreifen, die darauf abzielen, die Methanemissionen, deren Auswirkungen auf die globale Temperatur ähnlich besorgniserregend sind wie die von Kohlendioxid, empirisch zu überprüfen und zu reduzieren.

description: Nearly all estimators in statistical prediction come with an associated tuning parameter, in one way or another. Common practice, given data, is to choose the tuning parameter value that minimizes a constructed estimate of the prediction error of the estimator; we focus on Stein’s unbiased risk estimator, or SURE, which forms an unbiased estimate of the prediction error by augmenting the observed training error with an estimate of the degrees of freedom of the estimator. Parameter tuning via SURE minimization has been advocated by many authors, in a wide variety of problem settings, and in general, it is natural to ask: what is the prediction error of the SURE-tuned estimator? An obvious strategy would be simply use the apparent error estimate as reported by SURE, that is, the value of the SURE criterion at its minimum, to estimate the prediction error of the SURE-tuned estimator. But this is no longer unbiased; in fact, we would expect that the minimum of the SURE criterion is systematically biased downwards for the true prediction error. In this work, we define the excess optimism of the SURE-tuned estimator to be the amount of this downward bias in the SURE minimum. We argue that the following two properties motivate the study of excess optimism: (i) an unbiased estimate of excess optimism, added to the SURE criterion at its minimum, gives an unbiased estimate of the prediction error of the SURE-tuned estimator; (ii) excess optimism serves as an upper bound on the excess risk, that is, the difference between the risk of the SURE-tuned estimator and the oracle risk (where the oracle uses the best fixed tuning parameter choice). We study excess optimism in two common settings: shrinkage estimators and subset regression estimators. Our main results include a James–Stein-like property of the SURE-tuned shrinkage estimator, which is shown to dominate the MLE; and both upper and lower bounds on excess optimism for SURE-tuned subset regression. In the latter setting, when the collection of subsets is nested, our bounds are particularly tight, and reveal that in the case of no signal, the excess optimism is always in between 0 and 10 degrees of freedom, regardless of how many models are being selected from.

description: Kopenhagen ist eine der Städte mit der besten Fahrradinfrastruktur weltweit. Um zu verstehen, wie die dänische Hauptstadt das erreicht hat, lohnt sich ein Blick in ihre Vergangenheit. Nach Jahrzehnten der autogerechten Stadtplanung, vor der auch Kopenhagen nicht gefeit war, demonstrierten in den späten 1970er und frühen 1980er Jahren Zehntausende für mehr Radwege – mit Erfolg. Welche Rolle haben Diskurse und Erzählungen über das Fahrrad im Dänemark dieser Zeit gespielt, damit aus Kopenhagen die Fahrradstadt werden konnte, die sie heute ist? Und was können wir daraus lernen, um selbst die politische Förderung des Fahrrads als nachhaltiges Verkehrsmittel kommunikativ zu befördern? Diesen Fragen widmet sich das vorliegende Discussion Paper. Es untersucht drei repräsentative Korpora der auflagenstärksten Tageszeitungen Dänemarks aus den Jahren 1977, 1980 und 1983 mithilfe der im Projekt „Narrative der Nachhaltigkeit“ entwickelten „pentadischen“ Narrativanalyse. Das Ziel ist es, erfolgreiche Narrative für die Verkehrswende hin zu einer nachhaltigen urbanen Mobilität zu identifizieren.

description: In the fields of neuroimaging and genetics, a key goal is testing the association of a single outcome with a very high-dimensional imaging or genetic variable. Often, summary measures of the high-dimensional variable are created to sequentially test and localize the association with the outcome. In some cases, the associations between the outcome and summary measures are significant, but subsequent tests used to localize differences are underpowered and do not identify regions associated with the outcome. Here, we propose a generalization of Rao’s score test based on projecting the score statistic onto a linear subspace of a high-dimensional parameter space. The approach provides a way to localize signal in the high-dimensional space by projecting the scores to the subspace where the score test was performed. This allows for inference in the high-dimensional space to be performed on the same degrees of freedom as the score test, effectively reducing the number of comparisons. Simulation results demonstrate the test has competitive power relative to others commonly used. We illustrate the method by analyzing a subset of the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative dataset. Results suggest cortical thinning of the frontal and temporal lobes may be a useful biological marker of Alzheimer’s disease risk. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: By performing resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) measurements at the Ir $\mathit{L_{\mathrm{3}}}$ edge, we have investigated the low-energy elementary excitations in a series of double perovskite iridate single crystals, La$_{2}$$\mathit{M}$IrO$_{6}$ ($\mathit{M}$ = Co, Ni, and Zn). Almost dispersionless magnetic excitations at $\sim$ 42(6) meV and $\sim$ 35(5) meV have been observed in crystals containing magnetic 3$\mathit{d}$ ions, La$_{2}$CoIrO$_{6}$ and La$_{2}$NiIrO$_{6}$, respectively. In contrast, this low-energy magnetic excitation is absent in La$_{2}$ZnIrO$_{6}$ in which the 3$\mathit{d}$ ions are non-magnetic, suggesting the importance of 3$\mathit{d}$-5$\mathit{d}$ hybridization in the magnetic properties of these double perovskite iridates. The magnetic excitation is suppressed completely above the magnetic ordering temperature, suggesting the inadequacy of using a simple spin Hamiltonian to describe magnetism of these materials.

description: Die Klimagerechtigkeitsbewegung (KB) hat in jüngster Zeit eine erstaunliche Dynamik entwickelt und dazu beigetragen, die Klimakrise in Deutschland auf die politische Agenda zu setzen. Die sichtbarsten und mobilisierungsstärksten Bewegungsakteur*innen sind Extinction Rebellion (XR), Ende Gelände (EG) und Fridays for Future (FFF). In ihrer öffentlichen Kommunikation zur Klimakrise zeigen sich unterschiedliche thematische Schwerpunkte. Die Studie analysiert vergleichend die narrativen Strukturen von Pressemitteilungen und Blog-Artikeln von XR, EG und FFF aus dem Jahr 2019 und führt die dortigen Motive und (Mikro-)Erzählungen auf ihre jeweiligen Grundwerte zurück. Es werden Potenziale identifiziert, wie XR, EG und FFF ihre politischen Anliegen innerhalb rhetorisch überzeugenderer, (strukturell vollständigerer) Erzählungen kommunizieren können. Die Untersuchung von Klima-Frames thematisiert zudem, ob und wie ein Bezug nicht nur zu Klimaschutz, sondern zu Klimagerechtigkeit hergestellt wird.

description: Researchers are often interested in using observational data to estimate the effect on a health outcome of maintaining a continuous treatment within a prespecified range over time, for example, “always exercise at least 30 minutes per day.” There may be many precise interventions that could achieve this range. In this article, we consider representative interventions. These are special cases of random dynamic interventions: interventions under which treatment at each time is assigned according to a random draw from a distribution that may depend on a subject’s measured past. Estimators of risk under representative interventions on a time-varying treatment have previously been described based on g-estimation of structural nested cumulative failure time models. In this article, we consider an alternative approach based on inverse probability weighting (IPW) of marginal structural models. In particular, we show that the risk under a representative intervention on a time-varying continuous treatment can be consistently estimated via computationally simple IPW methods traditionally used for deterministic static (i.e., “nonrandom” and “nondynamic”) interventions for binary treatments. We present an application of IPW in this setting to estimate the 28-year risk of coronary heart disease under various representative interventions on lifestyle behaviors in the Nurses' Health Study.

description: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from the progressive loss of pancreatic beta cells as a result of autoimmune destruction. We recently reported that during the natural history of T1D in humans and the female nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse model, beta cells acquire a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) that is a major driver of disease onset and progression, but the mechanisms that activate SASP in beta cells were not explored. Here, we show that the SASP in islet cells is transcriptionally controlled by Bromodomain ExtraTerminal (BET) proteins, including Bromodomain containing protein 4 (BRD4). A chromatin analysis of key beta cell SASP genes in NOD islets revealed binding of BRD4 at active regulatory regions. BET protein inhibition in NOD islets diminished not only the transcriptional activation and secretion of SASP factors, but also the non-cell autonomous activity. BET protein inhibition also decreased the extent of SASP induction in human islets exposed to DNA damage. The BET protein inhibitor iBET-762 prevented diabetes in NOD mice and also attenuated SASP in islet cells in vivo. Taken together, our findings support a crucial role for BET proteins in the activation of the SASP transcriptional program in islet cells. These studies suggest avenues for preventing T1D by transcriptional inhibition of SASP.

description: The number of studies where the primary measurement is a matrix is exploding. In response to this, we propose a statistical framework for modeling populations of repeatedly observed matrix-variate measurements. The 2D structure is handled via a matrix-variate distribution with decomposable row/column-specific covariance matrices and a linear mixed effect framework is used to model the multilevel design. The proposed framework flexibly expands to accommodate many common crossed and nested designs and introduces two important concepts: the between-subject distance and intraclass correlation coefficient, both defined for matrix-variate data. The computational feasibility and performance of the approach is shown in extensive simulation studies. The method is motivated by and applied to a study that monitored physical activity of individuals diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF) over a 4- to 9-month period. The long-term patterns of physical activity are studied and compared in two CHF subgroups: with and without adverse clinical events. Supplementary materials for this article, that include de-identified accelerometry and clinical data, are available online.

description: Recently a linearized perturbation theory has been formulated for soliton sectors of quantum field theories. While it is more economical than alternative formalisms, such as collective coordinates, it is currently limited to solitons which stay close to a base point, about which the theory is linearized. As a result, so far this formalism has only been applied to stationary solitons. In spite of this limitation, we construct kink states with fixed nonzero momenta and also moving, normalizable kink wave packets. The former are nonnormalizable, coherent superpositions of kinks at all spatial positions and are simultaneous eigenstates of the Hamiltonian and the momentum operator. The latter are localized about a single, moving classical solution. To understand the wave packets, we calculate several simple matrix elements.

Creators: name: Nunez, Almudena
Publisher: name: Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS)
Year: 2022

description: While the expansion of the renewable energy sector in developing countries like Mexico is paramount and needs to scale up to contribute to the targets of the Paris Climate agreement by decarbonizing energy systems, this process must not leave local communities behind and prevent them from achieving well-being. While social and economic co-benefits of renewable energy, such as employment opportunities and cost savings, have been identified for Mexico, the ways in which these opportunities will materialize for communities is dependent on an appropriate enabling policy environment. Thus, policy makers need to advance solutions that allow the growth of the renewable energy sector together with positive Social Performance, namely solutions that place the needs of current and future generations at the heart of renewable energy projects.

description: We propose a novel stochastic quasi-likelihood estimation procedure for case-control point processes. Quasi-likelihood for point processes depends on a certain optimal weight function and for the new method the weight function is stochastic since it depends on the control point pattern. The new procedure also provides a computationally efficient implementation of quasi-likelihood for univariate point processes in which case a synthetic control point process is simulated by the user. Under mild conditions, the proposed approach yields consistent and asymptotically normal parameter estimators. We further show that the estimators are optimal in the sense that the associated Godambe information is maximal within a wide class of estimating functions for case-control point processes. The effectiveness of the proposed method is further illustrated using extensive simulation studies and two data examples.

description: Positron sources are the key elements for the future and current lepton collider projects such as ILC, CLIC, SuperKEKB, FCC-ee, Muon Collider/LEMMA, etc., introducing challenging critical requirements for high intensity and low emittance beams in order to achieve high luminosity. In fact, due to their large production emittance and constraints given by the target thermal load, the main collider parameters such as the peak and average current, the emittances, the damping time, the repetition frequency and consequently the luminosity are determined by the positron beam characteristics. In this paper, the conventional positron sources and their main properties are explored for giving an indication to the challenges that apply during the design of the advanced accelerator concepts. The photon-driven positron sources as the novel approach proposed, primarily for the future linear colliders, are described highlighting their variety and problematic.

description: The HyGAL SOFIA legacy program surveys six hydride molecules -- ArH+, OH+, H2O+, SH, OH, and CH -- and two atomic constituents -- C+ and O -- within the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) by means of absorption-line spectroscopy toward 25 bright Galactic background continuum sources. This detailed spectroscopic study is designed to exploit the unique value of specific hydrides as tracers and probes of different phases of the ISM, as demonstrated by recent studies with the Herschel Space Observatory. The observations performed under the HyGAL program will allow us to address several questions related to the lifecycle of molecular material in the ISM and the physical processes that impact its phase transition, such as: (1) What is the distribution function of the H2 fraction in the ISM? (2) How does the ionization rate due to low-energy cosmic-rays vary within the Galaxy? (3) What is the nature of interstellar turbulence, and what mechanisms lead to its dissipation? This overview discusses the observing strategy, synergies with ancillary and archival observations, the data reduction and analysis schemes adopted; and presents the first results obtained toward three of the survey targets, W3(OH), W3IRS5 and NGC7538IRS1. Robust measurements of the column densities of these hydrides -- obtained through widespread observations of absorption lines-- help address the questions raised, and there is a timely synergy between these observations and the development of theoretical models, particularly pertaining to the formation of H2 within the turbulent ISM. The provision of enhanced HyGAL data products will therefore serve as a legacy for future ISM studies.

description: Literature on change point analysis mostly requires a sudden change in the data distribution, either in a few parameters or the distribution as a whole. We are interested in the scenario, where the variance of data may make a significant jump while the mean changes in a smooth fashion. The motivation is a liver procurement experiment monitoring organ surface temperature. Blindly applying the existing methods to the example can yield erroneous change point estimates since the smoothly changing mean violates the sudden-change assumption. We propose a penalized weighted least-squares approach with an iterative estimation procedure that integrates variance change point detection and smooth mean function estimation. The procedure starts with a consistent initial mean estimate ignoring the variance heterogeneity. Given the variance components the mean function is estimated by smoothing splines as the minimizer of the penalized weighted least squares. Given the mean function, we propose a likelihood ratio test statistic for identifying the variance change point. The null distribution of the test statistic is derived together with the rates of convergence of all the parameter estimates. Simulations show excellent performance of the proposed method. Application analysis offers numerical support to non invasive organ viability assessment by surface temperature monitoring. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: Unexplained infertility affects 2-3% of reproductive-aged couples. Male factors contribute to approximately half of all infertility cases, and approximately 15% of these cases are predicted to have a genetic etiology. With the wide application of whole exome sequencing (WES), an increasing number of genetic variants associated with male infertility have been identified. In this study, we identified a novel heterozygous splice variant in SYCP2(c.2600+5G>C) in a male infertility patient inherited from his phenotypically normal mother. SYCP2 encodes a protein critical for the synapsis of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I, and its disruption can impair spermatogenesis. A mini-gene splicing assay confirmed that this splicing variant impacted alternative splicing and that the stop codon appeared early, which was very likely to result in the loss of function of the protein and lead to the occurrence of male infertility. Our findings suggested that the c.2600+5G>C variation in SYCP2 might be the genetic etiology for male infertility in this pedigree, expanding the known genotype spectrum of male infertility and providing new etiological information for male infertility.

description: In this work, we analyse the CP-averaged branching ratios and direct CP-violating asymmetries of the four-body decays B_{S} \rightarrow ππππdecay from the S-wave resonances, f_{0}(980) and f_{0}(500) and P-wave resonances, ρ(770) by introducing the S-wave and P-wave ππdistribution amplitudes within the framework of the perturbative QCD approach. We also calculate branching ratios of the two-body decays B^{0}_{S}\rightarrowρ^{0}ρ^{0}, B^{0}_{S}\rightarrowρ^{+}ρ^{-} from the corresponding quasi-two-body decays models and compare our results with those obtained in previous perturbative QCD approach, QCD factorization approach and FAT approach, it is found that the predictions are consistent with present data within errors. The branching ratios of our calculations for the four-body decays B_{S}\rightarrow ππππare at the order of the 10^{-7}. For the CP-violating asymmetries, we found that CP-violating asymmetry can be enhanced largely by the ρ-ωmixing resonances when ππpairs masses are in the vicinity of ωresonance.

description: This article proposes a One-Covariate-at-a-time Multiple Testing (OCMT) approach to choose significant variables in high-dimensional nonparametric additive regression models. Similarly to Chudik, Kapetanios, and Pesaran, we consider the statistical significance of individual nonparametric additive components one at a time and take into account the multiple testing nature of the problem. Both one-stage and multiple-stage procedures are considered. The former works well in terms of the true positive rate only if the net effects of all signals are strong enough; the latter helps to pick up hidden signals that have weak net effects. Simulations demonstrate the good finite-sample performance of the proposed procedures. As an empirical illustration, we apply the OCMT procedure to a dataset extracted from the Longitudinal Survey on Rural Urban Migration in China. We find that our procedure works well in terms of out-of-sample root mean square forecast errors, compared with competing methods such as adaptive group Lasso (AGLASSO).
INSTAR IoT/Edge/Cloud/Internet ETF - Roadmap Factsheet
Creators: name: INSTAR
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: The INSTAR factsheets are concise, visually engaging documents designed to present the strategic roadmaps developed by the European Task Forces (ETFs) in an easy-to-digest format. These factsheets serve as a practical reference for the INSTAR stakeholders (EU and International Policymakers, EU-Funded projects, SDOs, and Industrial Players) summarising the European standardisation priorities identified by the INSTAR ETFs.

The primary goal of the factsheets is to ensure that all INSTAR stakeholders have a shared understanding of Europe’s strategic direction in standardisation. By outlining specific actionable priorities, these factsheets support informed decision-making and foster collaboration within and beyond Europe, aligning efforts to build a competitive and interoperable digital ecosystem.

The factsheets share a common introductory section across all ETFs, providing consistent context and background information on their objectives and scope. In this initial version, the primary differentiating factor among the various factsheets lies in the specific standardisation priorities set by each INSTAR ETFs.

description: We present a series representation for the dynamical two-point function of the local spin current for the XXZ chain in the antiferromagnetic massive regime at zero temperature. From this series we can compute the correlation function with very high accuracy up to very long times and large distances. Each term in the series corresponds to the contribution of all scattering states of an even number of excitations. These excitations can be interpreted in terms of an equal number of particles and holes. The lowest term in the series comprises all scattering states of one hole and one particle. This term determines the long-time large-distance asymptotic behaviour which can be obtained explicitly from a saddle-point analysis. The space-time Fourier transform of the two-point function of currents at zero momentum gives the optical spin conductivity of the model. We obtain highly accurate numerical estimates for this quantity by numerically Fourier transforming our data. For the one-particle, one-hole contribution, equivalently interpreted as a two-spinon contribution, we obtain an exact and explicit expression in terms of known special functions. For large enough anisotropy, the two-spinon contribution carries most of the spectral weight, as can be seen by calculating the f-sum rule.
