description: Diesel exhaust (DE) is a major component of air pollution in urban centers. Controlled human exposure (CHE) experiments are commonly used to investigate the acute effects of DE inhalation specifically and also as a paradigm for investigating responses to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) more generally. Given the critical role this model plays in our understanding of TRAP’s health effects mechanistically and in support of associated policy and regulation, we review the methodology of CHE to DE (CHE–DE) in detail to distill critical elements so that the results of these studies can be understood in context. From 104 eligible publications, we identified 79 CHE–DE studies and extracted information on DE generation, exposure session characteristics, pollutant and particulate composition of exposures, and participant demographics. Virtually all studies had a crossover design, and most studies involved a single DE exposure per participant. Exposure sessions were typically 1 or 2 h in duration, with participants alternating between exercise and rest. Most CHE–DE targeted a PM concentration of 300 μg/m3. There was a wide range in commonly measured co-pollutants including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and total organic compounds. Reporting of detailed parameters of aerosol composition, including particle diameter, was inconsistent between studies, and older studies from a given lab were often cited in lieu of repeating measurements for new experiments. There was a male predominance in participants, and over half of studies involved healthy participants only. Other populations studied include those with asthma, atopy, or metabolic syndrome. Standardization in reporting exposure conditions, potentially using current versions of engines with modern emissions control technology, will allow for more valid comparisons between studies of CHE–DE, while recognizing that diesel engines in much of the world remain old and heterogeneous. Inclusion of female participants as well as populations more susceptible to TRAP will broaden the applicability of results from CHE–DE studies.

title: Generalization Issues in Pattern Classification Applied to Speaker Identification

description: This thesis is an extension of previous work on speaker identification, but with a primary focus on the generalization performance of patterns classifiers for speaker identification. The goal for all pattern classifiers is to generalize to new data, not just perform well on the training data set. The error on the training data is typically a biased estimate of the generalization error. The training set error tends to be smaller than the generalization error if the model is selected such that it minimizes the training error. Therefore, the training error alone should not be used as a good predictor of classifier performance.

The main focus of this research is to investigate the issues related to the commonly observed phenomena that classifiers have high identification performance on training data, but poor accuracy for test data. Understanding these issues is crucial in order to improve the generalization performance.

As detailed in this work, the basic algorithms from our previous work on speaker identification have not been changed, but many details in the signal processing were changed to improve identification results. Also, a recently developed non-parametric classifier, called a Support Vector Machine (SVM), which is claimed to have good generalization performance, was tested on the NTIMIT database. However, only negligible improvements were obtained in using an SVM versus a Neural Network (NN) classifier. In other experiments, performed with the SPIDRE speaker identification database, using the changes in the signal processing details, speaker identification accuracy of over 84% was obtained on test sentences, using all 45 target speakers in the database. These results are among the best reported for the SPIDRE database, and indicate that excellent results can be obtained using simple classifiers.

(Figs 269, 453)
 Type material. Holotype (Figs 269, 453): male, “ Mozambique 630m | Manica Province, Chimanimani | National Reserve, Moribane Forest | Ndzou Camp (Moist Forest) | 19°44'01.4''S, 33°20'15.1''E | 3– 5.viii.2018 LepiLED Light Trap | Laszlo, G., Miles, W., Vetina, A. leg. | ANHRT:2018.30” / “ANHRTUK | 00050668” (DNA barcode iD) / “Slide | AV5049 ♂ | A. Volynkin ” (ANHRT).
 Diagnosis. The forewing length is 5.5 mm in the male holotype. Siccia chimanimani is externally reminiscent of S. semliki but distinguished by the smaller size, the narrower forewing with a smoother tornus, the more ochreous-yellowish ground colour of both wings, and the more diffuse forewing markings with smaller brown spots on the costal margin. Additionally, the patagia of the new species is ochreous-brown, similar to the entire thorax whereas it is a contrasted deep brown in S. semliki. The male genitalia structure of S. chimanimani is similar to S. semliki and the detailed comparison is provided above in the diagnosis of the latter species.
The female is unknown.
 Molecular data. As the species is known from its holotype only, the intraspecific genetic variability could not be calculated. As the molecular data are currently unavailable for other species in the group, the COI-5P sequence of S. chimanimani was compared with those of the similar S. exilisioides and the S. pallidata species-group s, from which the new species diverges by 8.45–9.88% and 9.82–11.25%, respectively.
 Distribution. The new species is currently known only from its type locality in western central Mozambique (Manica Province).
 Etymology. The specific epithet is homonymic of the Chimanimani Mountains, where the new species was found. The name is a noun in the nominative singular in apposition.

description: Among the available neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN)-specific HR-QoL scales, only the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-G.I.NET21 questionnaires have been validated in several languages. We aim to assess patients’ perceptions of these questionnaires. A cross-sectional qualitative pilot study was conducted among 65 adults from four countries with well-differentiated advanced gastro-entero-pancreatic (GEP) or unknown primary NENs. Patients completed the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-G.I.NET21 questionnaires and then a survey containing statements concerning the questionnaires. The majority of patients had a small intestine NET (52%). Most tumors were functioning (55%) and grade 2 NET (52%). Almost half of the patients identified limitations in the questionnaires, with nine (14%) patients scoring the questionnaires as poor and 16 (25%) patients as moderate. Overall, 37 (57%) patients were positive towards the questionnaires. Approximately a quarter of patients considered the questionnaires not suitable for all ages, missing some of their complaints, not representative of their overall HR-QoL regarding the treatment of their NET and too superficial. The current validated EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-G.I.NET21 questionnaires may show some limitations in the design of questions and the patients’ final satisfaction reporting of the questionnaire. Large-scale, high-quality prospective studies are required in HR-QoL assessment regarding NETs.

description: Let $G$ be a Métivier group and let $N$ be any homogeneous norm on $G$. For $α>0$ denote by $w_α$ the function $e^{-N^α}$ and consider the weighted sub-Laplacian $\mathcal{L}^{w_α}$ associated with the Dirichlet form $ϕ\mapsto \int_{G} |\nabla_\mathcal{H}ϕ(y)|^2 w_α(y)\, dy$, where $\nabla_\mathcal{H}$ is the horizontal gradient on $G$. Consider $\mathcal{L}^{w_α}$ with domain $C_c^\infty$. We prove that $\mathcal{L}^{w_α}$ is essentially self-adjoint when $α\geq 1$. For a particular $N$, which is the norm appearing in $\mathcal{L}$'s fundamental solution when $G$ is an H-type group, we prove that $\mathcal{L}^{w_α}$ has purely discrete spectrum if and only if $α>2$, thus proving a conjecture of J. Inglis.

description: Recent renewal of the highest transition temperature in a conventional superconductor of the sulfer hydride attracts much attention to exploring simple compounds with the lighter elements, situated in unconventional conditions. We report the discovery of superconductivity in simple oxides of Ti4O7 and g-Ti3O5 in a thin-film form having deliberately tuned epitaxial structures and off-stoichiometry. These higher titanium oxides join in a class of simple-oxide superconductors, and g-Ti3O5 now holds the highest superconducting transition temperature of 7.1 kelvin among them. The mechanism behind the superconductivity is discussed on the basis of electrical measurements and theoretical predictions. We conclude that superconductivity arises from unstabilized bipolaronic insulating states.

description: In this paper, we present experimental studies on a cooperative control system for human-robotic networks with inter-robot communication delays. We first design a cooperative controller to be implemented on each robot so that their motion are synchronized to a reference motion desired by a human operator, and then point out that each robot motion ensures passivity. Inter-robot communication channels are then designed via so-called scattering transformation which is a technique to passify the delayed channel. The resulting robotic network is then connected with human operator based on passivity theory. In order to demonstrate the present control architecture, we build an experimental testbed consisting of multiple robots and a tablet. In particular, we analyze the effects of the communication delays on the human operator's behavior.

description: Motion of a rigid body immersed in a semi-infinite expanse of gas in a $d$-dimensional region bounded by an infinite plane wall is studied for free molecular flow on the basis of the free Vlasov equation under the specular boundary condition. We show that the velocity $V(t)$ of the body approaches its terminal velocity $V_{\infty}$ according to a power law $V_{\infty}-V(t)\approx Ct^{-(d-1)}$ by carefully analyzing the pre-collisions due to the presence of the wall. The exponent $d-1$ is smaller than $d+2$ for the case without the wall found in the classical work by Caprino, Marchioro and Pulvirenti~[Comm. Math. Phys., \textbf{264} (2006), pp. 167--189] and thus slower convergence rate results from the presence of the wall.

description: We study charmonium and bottomonium as relativistic bound states in a light-front quantized Hamiltonian formalism. The effective Hamiltonian is based on light-front holography. We use a recently proposed longitudinal confinement to complete the soft-wall holographic potential for the heavy flavors. The spin structure is generated from the one-gluon exchange interaction with a running coupling. The adoption of asymptotic freedom improves the spectroscopy compared with previous light-front results. Within this model, we compute the mass spectroscopy, decay constants and the r.m.s. radii. We also present a detailed study of the obtained light-front wave functions and use the wave functions to compute the light-cone distributions, specifically the distribution amplitudes and parton distribution functions. Overall, our model provides a reasonable description of the heavy quarkonia.

description: We consider the K3 surfaces that arise as double covers of the elliptic modular surface of level 5, $R_{5,5}$. Such surfaces have a natural elliptic fibration induced by the fibration on $R_{5,5}$. Moreover, they admit several other elliptic fibrations. We describe such fibrations in terms of linear systems of curves on $R_{5,5}$. This has a major advantage over other methods of classification of elliptic fibrations, namely, a simple algorithm that has as input equations of linear systems of curves in the projective plane yields a Weierstrass equation for each elliptic fibration. We deal in detail with the cases for which the double cover is branched over the two reducible fibers of type $I_5$ and for which it is branched over two smooth fibers, giving a complete list of elliptic fibrations for these two scenarios.

description: We present first results and future plans for the Oscillating Resonant Group AxioN (ORGAN) experiment, a microwave cavity axion haloscope situated in Perth, Western Australia designed to probe for high mass axions motivated by several theoretical models. The first stage focuses around 26.6 GHz in order to directly test a claimed result, which suggests axions exist at the corresponding mass of $110~μ$eV. Later stages will move to a wider scan range of 15-50 GHz ($60-210~μ$eV). We present the results of the pathfinding run, which sets a limit on $g_{aγγ}$ of $2.02\times 10^{-12} $eV$^{-1}$ at 26.531 GHz, or 110~$μ$eV, in a span of 2.5 neV (shaped by the Lorentzian resonance) with $90 \%$ confidence. Furthermore, we outline the current design and future strategies to eventually attain the sensitivity to search for well known axion models over the wider mass range.

description: In this paper we exploit the notions of conjoined and iterated conditionals, which are defined in the setting of coherence by means of suitable conditional random quantities with values in the interval $[0,1]$. We examine the iterated conditional $(B|K)|(A|H)$, by showing that $A|H$ p-entails $B|K$ if and only if $(B|K)|(A|H) = 1$. Then, we show that a p-consistent family $\mathcal{F}=\{E_1|H_1,E_2|H_2\}$ p-entails a conditional event $E_3|H_3$ if and only if $E_3|H_3=1$, or $(E_3|H_3)|QC(\mathcal{S})=1$ for some nonempty subset $\mathcal{S}$ of $\mathcal{F}$, where $QC(\mathcal{S})$ is the quasi conjunction of the conditional events in $\mathcal{S}$. Then, we examine the inference rules $And$, $Cut$, $Cautious $ $Monotonicity$, and $Or$ of System~P and other well known inference rules ($Modus$ $Ponens$, $Modus$ $Tollens$, $Bayes$). We also show that $QC(\mathcal{F})|\mathcal{C}(\mathcal{F})=1$, where $\mathcal{C}(\mathcal{F})$ is the conjunction of the conditional events in $\mathcal{F}$. We characterize p-entailment by showing that $\mathcal{F}$ p-entails $E_3|H_3$ if and only if $(E_3|H_3)|\mathcal{C}(\mathcal{F})=1$. Finally, we examine \emph{Denial of the antecedent} and \emph{Affirmation of the consequent}, where the p-entailment of $(E_3|H_3)$ from $\mathcal{F}$ does not hold, by showing that $(E_3|H_3)|\mathcal{C}(\mathcal{F})\neq1.$

description: We consider the problem of designing a low-complexity decoder for antipodal uniquely decodable (UD) /errorless code sets for overloaded synchronous code-division multiple access (CDMA) systems, where the number of signals Kamax is the largest known for the given code length L. In our complexity analysis, we illustrate that compared to maximum-likelihood (ML) decoder, which has an exponential computational complexity for even moderate code lengths, the proposed decoder has a quasi-quadratic computational complexity. Simulation results in terms of bit-error-rate (BER) demonstrate that the performance of the proposed decoder has only a 1-2 dB degradation in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at a BER of 10^-3 when compared to ML. Moreover, we derive the proof of the minimum Manhattan distance of such UD codes and we provide the proofs for the propositions; these proofs constitute the foundation of the formal proof for the maximum number users Kamax for L=8 .

description: We are interested in the description of small modulations in time and space of wave-train solutions to the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation \begin{align*} \partial_T Ψ= (1+ i α) \partial_X^2 Ψ+ Ψ- (1+i β) Ψ|Ψ|^2, \end{align*} near the Eckhaus boundary, that is, when the wave train is near the threshold of its first instability. Depending on the parameters $ α$, $ β$ a number of modulation equations can be derived, such as the KdV equation, the Cahn-Hilliard equation, and a family of Ginzburg-Landau based amplitude equations. Here we establish error estimates showing that the KdV approximation makes correct predictions in a certain parameter regime. Our proof is based on energy estimates and exploits the conservation law structure of the critical mode. In order to improve linear damping we work in spaces of analytic functions.

description: As an essential tool in security, the intrusion detection system bears the responsibility of the defense to network attacks performed by malicious traffic. Nowadays, with the help of machine learning algorithms, intrusion detection systems develop rapidly. However, the robustness of this system is questionable when it faces adversarial attacks. For the robustness of detection systems, more potential attack approaches are under research. In this paper, a framework of the generative adversarial networks, called IDSGAN, is proposed to generate the adversarial malicious traffic records aiming to attack intrusion detection systems by deceiving and evading the detection. Given that the internal structure and parameters of the detection system are unknown to attackers, the adversarial attack examples perform the black-box attacks against the detection system. IDSGAN leverages a generator to transform original malicious traffic records into adversarial malicious ones. A discriminator classifies traffic examples and dynamically learns the real-time black-box detection system. More significantly, the restricted modification mechanism is designed for the adversarial generation to preserve original attack functionalities of adversarial traffic records. The effectiveness of the model is indicated by attacking multiple algorithm-based detection models with different attack categories. The robustness is verified by changing the number of the modified features. A comparative experiment with adversarial attack baselines demonstrates the superiority of our model.

description: A comprehensive, bottoms-up characterization of two of the most widely used biomedical Ti-containing alloys, NiTi and β-Ti, was carried out applying a novel combination of neutron diffraction, neutron prompt-gamma activation, surface morphology, thermal analysis and mechanical tests, to relate composition, microstructure and physical-chemical-mechanical properties to unknown processing history. The commercial specimens studied are rectangular (0.43 × 0.64 mm~0.017 × 0.025 inch) wires, in both pre-formed U-shape and straight extended form. Practical performance was quantitatively linked to the influence of alloying elements, microstructure and thermo-mechanical processing. Results demonstrated that the microstructure and phase composition of β-Ti strongly depended on the composition, phase-stabilizing elements in particular, in that the 10.2 wt.% Mo content in Azdent resulted in 41.2% α phase, while Ormco with 11.6 wt.% Mo contained only β phase. Although the existence of α phase is probable in the meta-stable alloy, the α phase has never been quantified before. Further, the phase transformation behavior of NiTi directly arose from the microstructure, whilst being highly influenced by thermo-mechanical history. A strong correlation (r = 0.878) was established between phase transformation temperature and the force levels observed in bending test at body temperature, reconfirming that structure determines performance, while also being highly influenced by thermo-mechanical history. The novel methodology described is evidenced as generating a predictive profile of the eventual biomechanical properties and practical performance of the commercial materials. Overall, the work encompasses a reproducible and comprehensive approach expected to aid in future optimization and rational design of devices of metallic origin.

description: Evidence-based medicine has shown for many years that homozygous mutations of the HFE gene H63D are by no means negligible. Not only can it cause, usually after a second hit, rather mild classical hemochromatosis, but it can also cause numerous other disorders of iron metabolism, such as hypotransferrinemia, changes in binding capacity, and others. In addition, it may lead - among other symptoms - to damages of the heart and the substantia nigra via a causal relationship that remains to be investigated, most likely via a cascade dysfunction in iron metabolism. The clinical facts are compelling. Any physician who dismisses mutations of the HFE gene H63D as clinically irrelevant risks the health and life of his patient. Therefore all main researcher working on H63D Syndrome decided to raise awareness for the “iron brother” of Morbus Wilson by renaming the H63D Syndrome subtypes.

description: We propose a novel constraint-handling technique for the covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES). The proposed technique is aimed at solving explicitly constrained black-box continuous optimization problems, in which the explicit constraint is a constraint whereby the computational time for the constraint violation and its (numerical) gradient are negligible compared to that for the objective function. This method is designed to realize two invariance properties: invariance to the affine transformation of the search space, and invariance to the increasing transformation of the objective and constraint functions. The CMA-ES is designed to possess these properties for handling difficulties that appear in black-box optimization problems, such as non-separability, ill-conditioning, ruggedness, and the different orders of magnitude in the objective. The proposed constraint-handling technique (CHT), known as ARCH, modifies the underlying CMA-ES only in terms of the ranking of the candidate solutions. It employs a repair operator and an adaptive ranking aggregation strategy to compute the ranking. We developed test problems to evaluate the effects of the invariance properties, and performed experiments to empirically verify the invariance of the algorithm. We compared the proposed method with other CHTs on the CEC 2006 constrained optimization benchmark suite to demonstrate its efficacy. Empirical studies reveal that ARCH is able to exploit the explicitness of the constraint functions effectively, sometimes even more efficiently than an existing box-constraint handling technique on box-constrained problems, while exhibiting the invariance properties. Moreover, ARCH overwhelmingly outperforms CHTs by not exploiting the explicit constraints in terms of the number of objective function calls.

description: This experimental study investigates the impact of partial shading on the performance of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, focusing on mono-crystalline and polycrystalline panels. The research utilized three types of covering materials with varying transmittance levels: white leaf, tree leaf, and transparent paper. Shading was applied to 20%, 50%, and 100% of the cell area, and the electrical parameters of the modules were measured for each condition. The transmittance levels of the covering materials were characterized to determine their effect on PV performance. The results indicate that performance degradation is primarily influenced by the type of material used and the shading rate, with significant variations observed between mono-crystalline and polycrystalline panels. The position of the shaded cell was found to have no impact on the performance outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of understanding material properties and shading patterns to optimize PV panel efficiency in real-world conditions.
Effect of viscosity and thermal conductivity on the radial oscillation and relaxation of relativistic stars

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: In this paper we present a generic formulation of the linearized dynamical equations governing small adiabatic radial oscillations of relativistic stars. The dynamical equations are derived by taking into consideration those effects of viscosity and thermal conductivity of neutron-star matter which directly determine the minimum period of observable pulsars. A variational principle is applied to determine a discrete set of eigenfunctions with complex eigenvalues. The real and imaginary parts of eigenvalues represent the squared natural frequencies and relaxation time of radial oscillations of non-rotating neutron stars, respectively. We provide a suitable framework which may be supplemented with various potential species of cold-nuclear-matter models to compute the spectra of the normalized eigenfrequencies with a certain numerical precision. In the last section, we provide a qualitative estimation of the rate at which viscosity and thermal conductivity drain the kinetic energy of radial oscillation mode in reasonably uniform neutron stars, without relying on explicit numerical computations.
Long-Time Behavior of a Point Mass in a One-Dimensional Viscous Compressible Fluid and Pointwise Estimates of Solutions

description: We consider the motion of a point mass in a one-dimensional viscous compressible barotropic fluid. The fluid--point mass system is governed by the barotropic compressible Navier--Stokes equations and Newton's equation of motion. Our main result concerns the long-time behavior of the fluid and the point mass, and it gives pointwise convergence estimates of the volume ratio and the velocity of the fluid to their equilibrium values. As a corollary, it is shown that the velocity $V(t)$ of the point mass satisfies a decay estimate $|V(t)|=O(t^{-3/2})$ --- a faster decay compared to $t^{-1/2}$ known for the motion of a point mass in the viscous Burgers fluid~[J.~L.~V{á}zquez and E.~Zuazua, Comm. Partial Differential Equations \textbf{28} (2003), 1705--1738]. The rate $-3/2$ is essentially related to the compressibility and the nonlinearity. As a consequence, it follows that the point mass is convected only a finite distance as opposed to the viscous Burgers case. The main tool used in the proof is the pointwise estimates of Green's function. It turns out that the understanding of the time-decay properties of the transmitted and reflected waves at the point mass is essential for the proof.

description: Background: People who use unregulated drugs (PWUD) often face significant barriers to – and thereby avoid seeking – healthcare. In Vancouver, Canada, a neighborhood-wide healthcare system reform began implementation in 2016 to improve healthcare delivery and quality. In the wake of this reform, we sought to determine the prevalence of healthcare avoidance and its association with emergency department use among PWUD in this setting and examine patient-reported non-medical qualities of healthcare (“responsiveness”). Methods: Data were derived from two prospective cohort studies of community-recruited PWUD in Vancouver in 2017-18. Responsiveness was ascertained by the World Health Organizations’ standardized measurements and we evaluated seven domains of responsiveness (dignity, autonomy, communication, confidentiality, prompt attention, choice of provider, and quality of basic amenities). Pearson chi-squared test was used to examine differences in responsiveness between those who did and did not avoid care. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the relationship between care avoidance due to past mistreatment and emergency department use, adjusting for potential confounders. Results: Among 889 participants, 520 (58.5%) were male, 204 (22.9%) reported avoiding healthcare, most commonly for chronic pain (47.4%). Overall, 6.6% to 36.2% reported suboptimal levels (i.e., not always meeting the expected quality) across all seven measured domain of responsiveness. Proportions reporting suboptimal qualities were significantly higher among those who avoided care than those who did not across all domains, including: care as soon as wanted (51.0% vs. 31.8%), listened to carefully (44.1% vs. 20.4%), and involved in healthcare decision making (27.9% vs. 12.7%) (all p<0.05). In multivariable analyses, avoidance of healthcare was independently associated with self-reported emergency department use (adjusted odds ratio=1.49; 95% confidence interval:1.01–2.19). Conclusion: We found that almost a quarter of our sample of PWUD avoided seeking healthcare due to past mistreatment, and all seven measured domains of responsiveness were suboptimal and linked with avoidance. Individuals who reported avoidance of healthcare were significantly more likely to report emergency department use. Multi-level interventions are needed to remedy the suboptimal qualities of healthcare and thereby reduce care avoidance.

(Figs. 1-4)
 Material: Two fragments attributed to O. janovskii were found in the layer: one left elytron (length 2.75 mm, width 2.0 mm), and one associated fragment, including the left and right elytra, thorax and abdomen (length – 3.7 mm, width – 2.5 mm). The fragments are presented in Figures 1–3. The preservation of the remains is very good, uncharacteristic for deposits of the early-middle Neopleistocene; there is no pronounced deformation of the remains, as well as secondary microsculpture, which made it possible to make a detailed identification.

description: Development and implementation of a networking standard such as the new Internet Protocol (IPv6) is a very difficult process. Different implementations of the standard must be fully compatible to allow different computers to communicate with each other. However, standards are often ambiguous, frequently a result of providing specifications in the English language. A more formal specification could assist in the design of systems. This thesis demonstrates that capability using the Prototype Verification System (PVS).

In this thesis study, a formal specification for fragmentation and reassembly in IPv6 was created to provide a tool for the standardization of IPv6 using PVS. The user of the specification can employ it in verifying the design of his implementation. The user can pass his function implementations to the specification as parameters. The specification requires the user to provide certain properties of his functions.

description: Covariate adjustment is a commonly used method for total causal effect estimation. In recent years, graphical criteria have been developed to identify all valid adjustment sets, that is, all covariate sets that can be used for this purpose. Different valid adjustment sets typically provide total effect estimates of varying accuracies. Restricting ourselves to causal linear models, we introduce a graphical criterion to compare the asymptotic variances provided by certain valid adjustment sets. We employ this result to develop two further graphical tools. First, we introduce a simple variance reducing pruning procedure for any given valid adjustment set. Second, we give a graphical characterization of a valid adjustment set that provides the optimal asymptotic variance among all valid adjustment sets. Our results depend only on the graphical structure and not on the specific error variances or edge coefficients of the underlying causal linear model. They can be applied to directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), completed partially directed acyclic graphs (CPDAGs) and maximally oriented partially directed acyclic graphs (maximal PDAGs). We present simulations and a real data example to support our results and show their practical applicability.
