description: The incomplete statistics for complex systems is characterized by a so called incompleteness parameter $ω$ which equals unity when information is completely accessible to our treatment. This paper is devoted to the discussion of the incompleteness of accessible information and of the physical signification of $ω$ on the basis of fractal phase space. $ω$ is shown to be proportional to the fractal dimension of the phase space and can be linked to the phase volume expansion and information growth during the scale refining process.

description: In the Calvinist/Arminian debate, one of the controversies is whether regeneration precedes faith or faith precedes regeneration. One of the key passages is John 1:12-13 which speaks about becoming a child of God. Could it be that both sides need to look deeper to the ancient world to understand what "rebirth" meant? In this paper, Jonathan Williams examines this verse in the light of ancient thought patterns.

description: We present a study of the gravitational time delay of arrival of signals from binary pulsar systems with rotating black hole companions. In particular, we investigate the strength of this effect (Shapiro delay) as a function of the inclination, eccentricity and period of the orbit, as well as the mass and angular momentum of the black hole. This study is based on direct numerical integration of null geodesics in a Kerr background geometry. We find that, for binaries with sufficiently high orbital inclinations ($> 89^o$) and compact companion masses $> 10 M_\odot$, the effect arising from the rotation of the black hole in the system amounts to a microsecond-level variation of the arrival times of the pulsar pulses. If measurable, this variation could provide a unique signature for the presence of a rotating black hole in a binary pulsar system.

description: We present a Bayesian full-spectral-fitting analysis of 75 massive ($M_* > 10^{10.3} M_\odot$) UVJ-selected galaxies at redshifts of $1.0 < z < 1.3$, combining extremely deep rest-frame ultraviolet spectroscopy from VANDELS with multi-wavelength photometry. By the use of a sophisticated physical plus systematic uncertainties model, constructed within the Bagpipes code, we place strong constraints on the star-formation histories (SFHs) of individual objects. We firstly constrain the stellar mass vs stellar age relationship, finding a steep trend towards earlier average formation with increasing stellar mass of $1.48^{+0.34}_{-0.39}$ Gyr per decade in mass, although this shows signs of flattening at $M_* > 10^{11} M_\odot$. We show that this is consistent with other spectroscopic studies from $0 < z < 2$. This relationship places strong constraints on the AGN-feedback models used in cosmological simulations. We demonstrate that, although the relationships predicted by Simba and IllustrisTNG agree well with observations at $z=0.1$, they are too shallow at $z=1$, predicting an evolution of $<0.5$ Gyr per decade in mass. Secondly, we consider the connections between green-valley, post-starburst and quiescent galaxies, using our inferred SFH shapes and the distributions of galaxy physical properties on the UVJ diagram. The majority of our lowest-mass galaxies ($M_* \sim 10^{10.5} M_\odot$) are consistent with formation in recent ($z<2$), intense starburst events, with timescales of $\lesssim500$ Myr. A second class of objects experience extended star-formation epochs before rapidly quenching, passing through both green-valley and post-starburst phases. The most massive galaxies in our sample are extreme systems: already old by $z=1$, they formed at $z\sim5$ and quenched by $z=3$. However, we find evidence for their continued evolution through both AGN and rejuvenated star-formation activity.

description: Rerandomization (Morgan & Rubin, 2012) is designed for the elimination of covariate imbalance at the design stage of causal inference studies. By improving the covariate balance, rerandomization helps provide more precise and trustworthy estimates (i.e., lower variance) of the average treatment effect (ATE). However, there are only a limited number of studies considering rerandomization strategies or discussing the covariate balance criteria that are observed before conducting the rerandomization procedure. In addition, researchers may find more difficulty in ensuring covariate balance across groups with small-sized samples. Furthermore, researchers conducting experimental design studies in psychology and education fields may not be able to gather data from all subjects simultaneously. Subjects may not arrive at the same time and experiments can hardly wait until the recruitment of all subjects. As a result, we have presented the following research questions: 1) How does the rerandomization procedure perform when the sample size is small? 2) Are there any other balancing criteria that may work better than the Mahalanobis distance in the context of small samples? 3) How well does the balancing criterion work in a sequential rerandomization design? Based on the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class, a Monte-Carlo simulation study is presented for finding a better covariate balance criterion with respect to small samples. In this study, the neural network predicting model is used to calculate missing counterfactuals. Then, to ensure covariate balance in the context of small samples, the rerandomization procedure uses various criteria measuring covariate balance to find the specific criterion for the most precise estimate of sample average treatment effect. Lastly, a relatively good covariate balance criterion is adapted to Zhou et al.’s (2018) sequential rerandomization procedure and we examined its performance. In this dissertation, we aim to identify the best covariate balance criterion using the rerandomization procedure to determine the most appropriate randomized assignment with respect to small samples. On the use of Bayesian logistic regression with Cauchy prior as the covariate balance criterion, there is a 19% decrease in the root mean square error (RMSE) of the estimated sample average treatment effect compared to pure randomization procedures. Additionally, it is proved to work effectively in sequential rerandomization, thus making a meaningful contribution to the studies of psychology and education. It further enhances the power of hypothesis testing in randomized experimental designs.

Sequential Quantile Estimation Using Continuous Outcomes with Applications in Dose Finding
Creators: Hu, Chih-Chi
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2014
Subjects: Biometry

description: We consider dose finding studies where a binary outcome is obtained by dichotomizing a continuous measurement. While the majority of existing dose finding designs work with dichotomized data, two procedures that operate on continuous measurements have been proposed. One is based on stochastic approximation and the other on least square recursion. In both cases, estimating the variance of the continuous measurement is an integral part of the design. In their originally proposed forms, variance estimation is based on data from the most current cohort only. This raises the question of whether performance of the two designs can be improved by incorporating better variance estimators. To this end, we propose estimators that pool data across cohorts. Asymptotic properties of both designs with the proposed estimators are derived. Operating characteristics are also investigated via simulations in the context of a real Phase I trial. Results show that performance of least square recursion based procedure can be substantially improved through pooling data in variance estimation while performance of stochastic approximation based procedure is only marginally improved.
The second problem considered in this dissertation deals with the limitation shared by both designs that complete follow-up of all current patients is required before new patients can be enrolled. This may result in impractically long trial duration. We consider situations where besides the final measurement that the outcome of the study is defined on, each patient has an additional intermediate continuous measurement. By extending least square recursion through incorporating intermediate measurements, continual patient accrual is allowed. Simulation results show that under reasonable patient accrual rate, the proposed procedure is comparable to the original in terms of accuracy while shortening the trial duration considerably.

Despite being used by Goresky and MacPherson [Intersection homology theory: II, Inventiones Mathematicae, 71 (1983) 77-129] in their proof of topological invariance of intersection homology, homology stratifications do not appear to have been studied in any detail and their properties remain obscure. Here we use them to present a simplified version of the Goresky-MacPherson proof valid for PL spaces, and we ask a number of questions. The proof uses a new technique, homology general position, which sheds light on the (open) problem of defining generalised intersection homology.

description: We calculate the quantized conductance of nanosize point contacts between two ferromagnets for different mutual orientations of the magnetic moments. It is found that the magnetoresistance MR is a multivalued function of the quantized conductance at the parallel alignment of the magnetizations sigma^F. This leads us to the conclusion that experimentally observed large fluctuations of MR versus sigma^F are rather due to the conductance quantization than to measurement errors or a poor reproducibility of the results. Using the results of the calculations we are able to understand experimental data obtained by Garcia et al for MR of the magnetic nanocontacts.

Sequential Statistical Signal Processing with Applications to Distributed Systems
Creators: Yilmaz, Yasin
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2014
Subjects: Electrical engineering

description: Detection and estimation, two classical statistical signal processing problems with wellestablished
      theories, are traditionally studied under the fixed-sample-size and centralized
      setups, e.g., Neyman-Pearson target detection, and Bayesian parameter estimation. Recently,
      they appear in more challenging setups with stringent constraints on critical resources,
      e.g., time, energy, and bandwidth, in emerging technologies, such as wireless sensor
      networks, cognitive radio, smart grid, cyber-physical systems (CPS), internet of things
      (IoT), and networked control systems. These emerging systems have applications in a wide
      range of areas, such as communications, energy, the military, transportation, health care,
      and infrastructure.
      Sequential (i.e., online) methods suit much better to the ever-increasing demand on
      time-efficiency, and latency constraints than the conventional fixed-sample-size (i.e., offline)
      methods. Furthermore, as a result of decreasing device sizes and tendency to connect
      more and more devices, there are stringent energy and bandwidth constraints on devices
      (i.e., nodes) in a distributed system (i.e., network), requiring decentralized operation with
      low transmission rates. Hence, for statistical inference (e.g., detection and/or estimation)
      problems in distributed systems, today's challenge is achieving high performance (e.g., time
      efficiency) while satisfying resource (e.g., energy and bandwidth) constraints.
      In this thesis, we address this challenge by (i) first finding optimum (centralized) sequential
      schemes for detection, estimation, and joint detection and estimation if not available in
      the literature, (ii) and then developing their asymptotically optimal decentralized versions
      through an adaptive non-uniform sampling technique called level-triggered sampling. We
      propose and rigorously analyze decentralized detection, estimation, and joint detection and
      estimation schemes based on level-triggered sampling, resulting in a systematic theory of
      event-based statistical signal processing. We also show both analytically and numerically
      that the proposed schemes significantly outperform their counterparts based on conventional
      uniform sampling in terms of time efficiency. Moreover, they are compatible with the
      existing hardware as they work with discrete-time observations produced by conventional
      A/D converters.
      We apply the developed schemes to several problems, namely spectrum sensing and
      dynamic spectrum access in cognitive radio, state estimation and outage detection in smart
      grid, and target detection in multi-input multi-output (MIMO) wireless sensor networks.

description: The mining industry is ever striving to comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations through innovations in mine waste management. In recent years, innovative technologies have rapidly developed to effectively store and manage mine waste as a means of reducing environmental impacts through the entire life cycle of the mine development, from start-up, operations to closure. These technologies include tailings thickening/dewatering and co-disposal/co-mingling with problematic waste rock. This paper presents development of a co-disposal technique for the Cerro de Maimón Mine located in the Dominican Republic, where both tailings and waste rock are acid generating. The conventional slurry tailings were thickened to a non-segregating consistency to facilitate co-disposal of the tailings and waste rock. A large scale field experiment was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of different co-disposal methods through two stages of the investigation. Stage 1 involved deposition of acid generating waste rock on an existing tailings beach and Stage 2 involved deposition of waste rock and tailings in layers of different thicknesses. Two test cells were constructed at the site: one cell for tailings and waste rock deposition in approximately 1 m thick layers; and the other cell for deposition in approximately 2 m thick layers. Tailings samples were taken prior to and after waste rock placement using thin walled samplers. Field instrumentation included moisture sensors and settlement plates. The in-situ properties of the tailings were characterized through both field and laboratory testing programs including field vane tests, self-consolidation tests, soil water characteristic tests, suction measurements and moisture content profile determinations. The results of the field experiment indicate that co-disposal represents a feasible means to increase storage efficiency and reduce environmental impact of the mine wastes.

description: Given the Hermitian, symmetric and symplectic ensembles, it is shown that the probability that the spectrum belongs to one or several intervals satisfies a nonlinear PDE. This is done for the three classical ensembles: Gaussian, Laguerre and Jacobi. For the Hermitian ensemble, the PDE (in the boundary points of the intervals) is related to the Toda lattice and the KP equation, whereas for the symmetric and symplectic ensembles the PDE is an inductive equation, related to the so-called Pfaff-KP equation and the Pfaff lattice. The method consists of inserting time-variables in the integral and showing that this integral satisfies integrable lattice equations and Virasoro constraints.

description: The fluorescent iron Ka line is a powerful observational probe of the inner regions of black holes accretion disks. Previous studies have assumed that only material outside the radius of marginal stability can contribute to the observed line emission. Here, we show that fluorescence by material inside the radius of marginal stability, which is in the process of spiralling towards the event horizon, can have a observable influence on the iron line profile and equivalent width. For concreteness, we consider the case of a geometrically thin accretion disk, around a Schwarzschild black hole, in which fluorescence is excited by an X-ray source placed at some height above the disk and on the axis of the disk. Fully relativistic line profiles are presented for various source heights and efficiencies. It is found that the extra line flux generally emerges in the extreme red wing of the iron line, due to the large gravitational redshift experienced by photons from the region within the radius of marginal stability. We apply our models to the variable iron line seen in the ASCA spectrum of the Seyfert nucleus MCG-6-30-15. It is found that the change in the line profile, equivalent width, and continuum normalization, can be well explained as being due to a change in the height of the source above the disk. We discuss the implications of these results for distinguishing rapidly-rotating black holes from slowly rotating holes using iron line diagnostics.

Serotonergic Neurotoxicity and Depression Following MDMA Administration

Subjects: subject: Psychology
subject: FOS: Psychology

description: The toxicology of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), often referred to as ecstasy, was first evaluated by the U.S. military in the 1950s.  In the late 1970s into the early 1980s, this drug was used in psychotherapy sessions to increase self-esteem and facilitate conversation.  In 1985, the DEA classified MDMA as a Schedule 1 drug due to potential neurotoxic effects and addictive properties.  MDMA use continued, albeit illegally, and became strongly associated with the rave scene of the 1990s.  This drug is now used by a wider demographic and is rising in popularity among young adults (Green, Mechan, Elliott, O'Shea, & Colado, 2003).  The appeal of this drug stems from the rapid release of serotonin (5-HT) and resulting euphoria experienced after administration.  More specifically, MDMA binds to the 5-HT transporter (SERT) with high affinity and blocks reuptake of 5-HT.  It also enters neurons via this transporter.  Once inside the neuron the drug stimulates 5-HT release from the synaptic vesicles into the cytoplasm.  The SERTs then reverse direction, releasing 5-HT from the cytoplasm into the extracellular fluid.  The acute and long-term deleterious effects of this process on serotonergic neurons are not well understood.  The extensive history of the drug, its rising popularity, and inconsistent research findings on MDMA mediated neurotoxicity suggest a need to review the current literature pertaining to potential neurotoxic effects of MDMA.

description: We use a 1-parameter version of gauge theory to investigate the topology of the diffeomorphism group of 4-manifolds. A polynomial invariant, analogous to the Donaldson polynomial, is defined, and is used to show that the diffeomorphism group of certain simply-connected 4-manifolds has infinitely generated π_0.

description: We present new proposals for the representation of a Chern-Simons term on the lattice. In the first part, such a term is constructed from the fermion determinant, and in the second part directly from the Abelian gauge term. In both cases, the parity transformation is modified on the lattice without affecting its continuum limit.

description: In this paper we present the partial wave unitarity bound in the parameter space of dimension-5 and dimension-6 effective operators that arise in a compositeness scenario. These are routinely used in experimental searches at the LHC to constraint contact and gauge interactions between ordinary Standard Model fermions and excited (composite) states of mass $M$. After deducing the unitarity bound for the production process of a composite neutrino, we implement such bound and compare it with the recent experimental exclusion curves for Run 2, the High-Luminosity and High-Energy configurations of the LHC. Our results also applies to the searches where a generic single excited state is produced via contact interactions. We find that the unitarity bound, so far overlooked, is quite complelling and significant portions of the parameter space ($M,Λ$) become excluded in addition to the standard request $M \le Λ$.

Potential for use of methylene blue index testing to enhance geotechnical characterization of oil sands ores and tailings
Creators: name: Boxill, Lois
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Geotechnical engineers have traditionally limited their classification and behavior characterization of clays to Atterberg limits determination and calculation of an associated clay “activity” that relates the plasticity of a clay to the percentage of clay size particles present in a given sample. This paper explores the possibilities for use of methylene blue index testing to enhance geotechnical understanding of the impact of the cation exchange capacity of clays present in oil sands ores and both solid and fluid components of the tailings stream. The paper provides a basic description of the methylene blue index test procedure most commonly used for characterization in the oil sands industry, discusses requirements for obtaining consistent test results, and explores how the test has been used to enhance geotechnical characterization of clays in other areas. Potential for developing correlations between methylene blue index test results and other geotechnical parameters or index tests used to characterize solid phase and fluid fines oil sands tailings is also discussed.

description: This paper provides a review of the engineered systems implemented at the south tailings pond (STP) for seepage mitigation and pressure relief, and the continued advancement in understanding the hydrogeological systems being managed. A brief recap of the project, the site hydrogeology and pertinent design criteria are provided, together with information on the design, installation, functionality and performance of the engineered groundwater control systems. The STP, an oil sands external tailings storage facility was commissioned in July 2006. Three of four principal seepage mitigation and pressure relief design elements have been installed in the Wood Creek Sand Channel (WCSC) aquifer. These are the Northwest Wellfield, the Southwest Cut-off Wall and the passive relief well system. Following the design basis, an observational approach was adopted, and the requirements for additional seepage mitigation design elements are assessed through ongoing performance monitoring for the tailings structure and the groundwater control systems, and using improved hydrogeological understanding gained from the application of geophysical technology.

description: We consider preheating in the theory $1/4 λϕ^4 + 1/2 g^2ϕ^2χ^2 $, where the classical oscillating inflaton field $ϕ$ decays into $χ$-particles and $ϕ$-particles. The parametric resonance which leads to particle production in this conformally invariant theory is described by the Lame equation. It significantly differs from the resonance in the theory with a quadratic potential. The structure of the resonance depends in a rather nontrivial way on the parameter $g^2/λ$. We construct the stability/instability chart in this theory for arbitrary $g^2/λ$. We give simple analytic solutions describing the resonance in the limiting cases $g^2/λ\ll 1$ and $g^2/λ\gg 1$, and in the theory with $g^2=3λ$, and with $g^2 =λ$. From the point of view of parametric resonance for $χ$, the theories with $g^2=3λ$ and with $g^2 =λ$ have the same structure, respectively, as the theory $1/4 λϕ^4$, and the theory $λ/(4 N) (ϕ^2_i)^2$ of an N-component scalar field $ϕ_i$ in the limit $N \to \infty$. We show that in some of the conformally invariant theories such as the simplest model $1/4 λϕ^4$, the resonance can be terminated by the backreaction of produced particles long before $$ or $$ become of the order $ϕ^2$. We analyze the changes in the theory of reheating in this model which appear if the inflaton field has a small mass.
