Maximum likelihood estimators uniformly minimize distribution variance among distribution unbiased estimators in exponential families
Creators: name: Vos, Paul
name: Wu, Qiang
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We employ a parameter-free distribution estimation framework where estimators are random distributions and utilize the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence as a loss function. Wu and Vos [J. Statist. Plann. Inference 142 (2012) 1525-1536] show that when an estimator obtained from an i.i.d. sample is viewed as a random distribution, the KL risk of the estimator decomposes in a fashion parallel to the mean squared error decomposition when the estimator is a real-valued random variable. In this paper, we explore how conditional versions of distribution expectation ($E^{\dagger}$) can be defined so that a distribution version of the Rao-Blackwell theorem holds. We define distributional expectation and variance ($V^{\dagger}$) that also provide a decomposition of KL risk in exponential and mixture families. For exponential families, we show that the maximum likelihood estimator (viewed as a random distribution) is distribution unbiased and is the unique uniformly minimum distribution variance unbiased (UMV$^{\dagger}$U) estimator. Furthermore, we show that the MLE is robust against model specification in that if the true distribution does not belong to the exponential family, the MLE is UMV$^{\dagger}$U for the KL projection of the true distribution onto the exponential families provided these two distribution have the same expectation for the canonical statistic. To allow for estimators taking values outside of the exponential family, we include results for KL projection and define an extended projection to accommodate the non-existence of the MLE for families having discrete sample space. Illustrative examples are provided.

Using ePortfolios as a tool for learning and reflecting with middle school students
Creators: name: Ritchie, Andrea
Publisher: name: Vancouver Island University - Royal Roads University
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Electronic portfolios in education

description: It is important for learners in the 21st century to develop the ability to think critically and creatively, to be curious problem solvers and to take initiative in their learning. Students who are activated as leaders of their own learning are more likely to be engaged in the learning process. This researcher observed that young adolescents are challenged when asked to articulate their knowledge of themselves as learners. They struggle to go beyond knowing that they are simply “good at” or “bad at” a particular subject or skill. This research focused on whether consistent practice at reflection would enable students in grade 6 and 7 to better understand their learning journey. EPortfolios were selected as the tool to facilitate reflection and self-assessment because they enable students to work with online media, while also being designed with reflection, celebration and sharing of learning in mind. This study found that at the end of the school year, students overall were engaged in the creation of the ePortfolios and there was some development of reflection skills but the ability to express their knowledge of themselves as learners was still largely superficial. The researcher made some ecommendations as to how the Scholantis ePortfolio tool, powered by Sharepoint, could be adapted to increase the likelihood of independent student engagement and facilitate reflection. Additionally, recommendations were made for teachers and schools with respect to teaching reflective language and whole school implementation to reduce the technical learning challenges and develop metacognition over a longer period of time.

description: The ability to assemble nanomaterials, such as quantum dots, enables the creation of functional devices that present unique optical and electronic properties. For instance, light-emitting diodes with exceptional color purity can be printed via the evaporative-driven assembly of quantum dots. Nevertheless, current studies of the colloidal deposition of quantum dots have been limited to the surfaces of a planar substrate. Here, we investigate the evaporation-driven assembly of quantum dots inside a confined cylindrical geometry. Specifically, we observe distinct deposition patterns, such as banding structures along the length of a capillary tube. Such coating behavior can be influenced by the evaporation speed as well as the concentration of quantum dots. Understanding the factors governing the coating process can provide a means to control the assembly of quantum dots inside a capillary tube, ultimately enabling the creation of novel photonic devices.

description: We report results of quantum chemical calculations for the neutral and anionic species of (4,4{'})-bipyridine (44BPY), a prototypical molecule with a floppy degree of freedom, placed in vacuo and in solvents. In addition to equilibrium geometries and vibrational frequencies and spectra, we present adiabatic energy curves for the vibrational modes with significant intramolecular reorganization upon charge transfer. Special attention is paid to the floppy strongly anharmonic degree of freedom of 44BPY, which is related to the most salient structural feature, namely the twist angle $θ$ between the two pyridine rings. The relevance of the present results for molecular transport will be emphasized. We show that the solvent acts as an effective gate electrode and propose a scissor operator to account for solvent effects on molecular transport. Our result on the conductance $G$ vs. $\cos^2θ$ is consistent with a significant transmission in perpendicular conformation indicated by previous microscopic analysis.

description: This current study intended to examine if there was a relationship between early school readiness levels, as measured by the Early Development Instrument (EDI), specifically in the domain of Language and Cognitive Development, and Grade One spring reading Benchmarks in School District #70. This quantitative study used pre-existing, published data and analyzed the Kindergarten EDI scores of School District #70 in 2008-09 and 2009-10 to determine if a relationship existed between the Kindergarten EDI scores, specifically within the domain of Language and Cognitive Development and Grade One spring reading benchmarks in 2009-10 and 2010-11. The results from the study revealed that levels of vulnerability in the domain of Language and Cognitive development is not a reliable predictor of success on Grade One spring reading Benchmarks. Therefore, vulnerability in the domain of Language and Cognitive development is not a good predictor of success on Grade One spring reading Benchmarks.

The Relationship of Employment and Social Deficits in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Subjects: subject: Psychology

subject: Vocational education

description: Deficits in social interaction and social communication are life-long in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). These social deficits contribute to the difficulty many adults have finding and maintaining employment. Employment for every adult has benefits of pay and independence, but the benefits of the social interaction provided in a work environment may be especially important for adults with ASD. For other populations, employment is associated with improved social behaviors. The purpose of this study is to determine if the positive relationship between employment and social skills holds true for adults with ASD. Additionally, this study investigates the effect of comorbid diagnoses, especially ID and Anxiety disorders, on employment and social skills. There are few interventions designed for adults with ASD; if employment is demonstrated to have a positive effect on the social deficits of these adults, focus can be placed on successfully integrating adults with ASD into employment settings.
Measurement of multi-particle azimuthal correlations with the subevent cumulant method in $pp$ and $p$+Pb collisions with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY, Hamburg
Year: 2017

description: A detailed study of multi-particle azimuthal correlations is presented using $pp$ data at $\sqrt{s}=5.02$ and 13 TeV, and $p$+Pb data at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}=5.02$ TeV, recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The azimuthal correlations are probed using four-particle cumulants $c_{n}\{4\}$ and flow coefficients $v_n\{4\}=(-c_{n}\{4\})^{1/4}$ for $n=2$ and 3, with the goal of extracting long-range multi-particle azimuthal correlation signals and suppressing the short-range correlations. The values of $c_{n}\{4\}$ are obtained as a function of the average number of charged particles per event, $\left\langle N_{\rm{ch}} \right\rangle$, using the recently proposed two-subevent and three-subevent cumulant methods, and compared with results obtained with the standard cumulant method. The three-subevent method is found to be least sensitive to short-range correlations, which originate mostly from jets with a positive contribution to $c_{n}\{4\}$. The three-subevent method gives a negative $c_{2}\{4\}$, and therefore a well-defined $v_2\{4\}$, nearly independent of $\left\langle N_{\rm{ch}} \right\rangle$, which provides direct evidence that the long-range multi-particle azimuthal correlations persist to events with low multiplicity. Furthermore, $v_2\{4\}$ is found to be smaller than the $v_2\{2\}$ measured using the two-particle correlation method, as expected for long-range collective behavior. Finally, the measured values of $v_2\{4\}$ and $v_2\{2\}$ are used to estimate the number of sources relevant for the initial eccentricity in the collision geometry.

description: When a drop containing colloidal particles evaporates on a surface, a circular stain made of these particles is often observed due to an internal flow toward the contact line. To hinder this effect, several approaches have been proposed such as flow modification by addition of surfactants or control of the interactions between the particles. All of these strategies involve the liquid phase while maintaining the drying process. However, substitution of evaporation by absorption into the substrate of the solvent has been investigated less. Here, we show that a droplet containing colloidal particles deposited on swelling hydrogels can lead to a nearly uniform coating. We report experiments and theory to explore the relation between the gel swelling, uniformity of deposition and the adsorption dynamics of the particles at the substrate. Our findings suggest that draining the solvent by absorption provides a robust route to homogeneous coatings.

From destructive to constructive thinking: techniques of self-therapy for adults with ADD
Creators: name: Eisner, Sharon R.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: According to Dr. Albert Ellis’ Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), our thought patterns and self-talk directly influence our behavior and functioning. It is the contention of this thesis that adults with Attention Deficit Disorder may benefit from using some of the techniques of REBT in order to change habitually unproductive thought and behavior patterns to more positive and productive ones. This thesis discusses the impact of Attention Deficit Disorder on adults, summarizes the nature of REBT, and shows how using the suggested techniques can change both our perception of our individual issues and abilities and the reality of our daily lives. A process is suggested whereby each individual dedicates ten minutes per day to analyzing a single irrational belief and changing it to a rational one, according to the suggested guidelines. A worksheet is provided to help facilitate this process.

Comparison of Hipparcos Trigonometric and Mount Wilson Spectroscopic Parallaxes for 90 Subgiants that Defined the Class in 1935

description: A history is given of the discovery between 1914 and 1935 of stars of intermediate luminosity between giants and dwarfs with spectral types between G0 to K3. The Mt Wilson spectroscopists identified about 90 such stars in their 1935 summary paper of spectroscopic absolute magnitudes for 4179 stars. Called "subgiants" by Strömberg, these 90 stars defined the group at the time. The position of the Mt Wilson subgiants in the HR diagram caused difficulties in comparisons of high weight trigonometric parallaxes being measured and with Russell's prevailing evolution proposal, and critics questioned the reality of the Mt Wilson subgiants. We compare, star-by-star, the Mt Wilson spectroscopic absolute magnitudes of the 90 stars defining their sample against those absolute magnitudes derived from Hipparcos (HIP) trigonometric parallaxes. We address concerns over biases in the Mt Wilson calibration sample and biases created by the adopted methodology for calibration. Historically, these concerns were sufficient to discredit the discovery of subgiants in the Mt Wilson sample. However, as shown here, the majority of the Mount Wilson stars identified as subgiants that also have reliable HIP trigonometric parallaxes do lie among the subgiant sequence in the HIP HR diagram. Moreover, no significant offset is seen between the M(V) brightnesses derived from the Mt Wilson spectroscopic parallaxes and the M(V) values derived from Hipparcos trigonometric parallaxes with a fractional error of 10%, which confirms in an impressive manner the efficacy of the original Mt Wilson assessments. The existence of subgiants proved that Russell's contraction proposal for stellar evolution from giants to the main sequence was incorrect. Instead, Gamow's 1944 unpublished conjecture that subgiants are post main-sequence stars just having left the main sequence was very nearly correct but was a decade before its time.

description: Background: The key to successful outcomes in time-sensitive emergencies involves a pivotal role played by bystanders in identifying and initiating first response. This in turn depends on their awareness and perspective regarding the same. Objective: This study aimed to assess the existing awareness and attitude regarding first response to emergencies in students pursuing graduation, in an Indian University. Methods: The students were administered a pilot-tested questionnaire regarding first response, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillators (AEDs). A total of 1851 students were included in the study from various disciplines- both health care professional training (HCPT) students and non-HCPT students. Results: Poor knowledge was noticed across several themes including awareness of emergency helpline number (61.48%), recognising cardiac arrest (33.98%), awareness about hands-only CPR (12.26%), knowledge about rate of chest compressions in adults (25.01%) and infants (19.67%), and steps of using an AED (17.45%). Only 29.17% of the participants had undergone previous training in CPR. Only 57% participants were willing to initiate CPR in cardiac arrest victims. Some of the major knowledge barriers identified included no prior training (62.4%) and perceived harm to victims (26.9%). The mean knowledge score was low and 69% of the participants scored less than 50%. The significant predictors of low knowledge score were lower age, male gender, non-HCPT students, no previous training in CPR and having not witnessed a cardiac arrest before. Conclusions: There is low preparedness regarding the first response and low awareness regarding crucial links in the chain of survival of cardiac arrest. However, willingness among the students to learn CPR was an encouraging finding.
Electrochemical setup - a unique chance to simultaneously control orbital energies and vibrational properties of single-molecule junctions with unprecedented efficiency

description: Impressive advances in nanoscience permit nowadays to manipulate single molecules and broadly control many of their properties. Still, tuning the molecular charge and vibrational properties of single molecules embedded in nanojunctions in broad ranges escaped so far to an efficient control. By combining theoretical results with recent experimental data, we show that, under electrochemical control, it is possible to continuously drive a redox molecule (viologen) between almost perfect oxidized and reduced states. This yields an unprecedentedly efficient control on both vibrational frequencies and the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) intensities. The broad tuning achieved under electrochemical control by varying the overpotential ("gate potential") within experimentally accessible ranges contrasts to the case of two-terminal setups that require high biases, which real nanojunctions cannot withstand. The present study aim at stimulating concurrent transport and SERS measurements in electrochemical setup. This may open a new avenue of research that is not accessible via two-terminal approaches for better understanding the transport at nanoscale.

description: We obtain a magnetically charged regular black hole in general relativity. The source to the Einstein field equations is nonlinear electrodynamic field in a physically reasonable model of nonlinear electrodynamics (NED). "Physically" here means the NED model is constructed on the basis of three conditions: the Maxwell asymptotic in the weak electromagnetic field limit; the presence of vacuum birefringence phenomenon; and satisfying the weak energy condition (WEC). In addition, we analyze the thermodynamic properties of the regular black hole in two ways. According to the usual black hole thermodynamics, we calculate the heat capacity at constant charge, from which we know the smaller black hole is more stable. We also employ the horizon thermodynamics to discuss the thermodynamic quantities, especially the heat capacity at constant pressure.

description: Accelerating particles to relativistic energies over very short distances using lasers has been a long standing goal in physics. Among the various schemes proposed for electrons, vacuum laser acceleration has attracted considerable interest and has been extensively studied theoretically because of its appealing simplicity: electrons interact with an intense laser field in vacuum and can be continuously accelerated, provided they remain at a given phase of the field until they escape the laser beam. But demonstrating this effect experimentally has proved extremely challenging, as it imposes stringent requirements on the conditions of injection of electrons in the laser field. Here, we solve this long-standing experimental problem for the first time by using a plasma mirror to inject electrons in an ultraintense laser field, and obtain clear evidence of vacuum laser acceleration. With the advent of PetaWatt class lasers, this scheme could provide a competitive source of very high charge (nC) and ultrashort relativistic electron beams.

description: In this paper, we consider an estimation problem of the regression coefficients in multiple regression models with several unknown change-points. Under some realistic assumptions, we propose a class of estimators which includes as a special cases shrinkage estimators (SEs) as well as the unrestricted estimator (UE) and the restricted estimator (RE). We also derive a more general condition for the SEs to dominate the UE. To this end, we generalize some identities for the evaluation of the bias and risk functions of shrinkage-type estimators. As illustrative example, our method is applied to the "gross domestic product" data set of 10 countries whose USA, Canada, UK, France and Germany. The simulation results corroborate our theoretical findings.

description: The infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of $z\gtrsim 5$ quasars can be reproduced by combining a low-metallicity galaxy template with a standard AGN template. The host galaxy is represented by Haro 11, a compact, moderately low metallicity, star-bursting galaxy that shares typical features of high-$z$ galaxies. For the vast majority of $z\gtrsim 5$ quasars, the AGN contribution is well modeled by a standard empirical template with the contamination of star formation in the infrared subtracted. Together, these two templates can separate the contributions from the host galaxy and the AGN even in the case of limited data points, given that this model has only two free parameters. Using this method, we re-analyze 69 $z\gtrsim 5$ quasars with extensive Herschel observations, and derive their AGN luminosities $L_{\rm AGN}$ in a range $\sim (0.78-27.4) \times10^{13}\, L_{\odot}$, the infrared luminosities from star formation $L_{\rm SF,IR} \sim (<1.5-25.7)\times10^{12}\, L_{\odot}$, and the corresponding star formation rates ${\rm SFR}\sim (<290-2650)\, M_\odot/{\rm yr}$. The average infrared luminosity from star formation and the average total AGN luminosity of the $z\gtrsim5$ quasar sample follows the correlation defined by quasars at $z < 2.6$. We assume these quasar host galaxies maintain a constant average SFR ($\sim620\, M_\odot/{\rm yr}$) during their mass assembly and estimate the stellar mass that could form till $z\sim5-6$ to be $\langle M_* \rangle \sim(3-5)\times10^{11} M_\odot$. Combining with the black hole (BH) mass measurements, this stellar mass is adequate to establish a BH-galaxy mass ratio $M_{\rm BH}/M_{*}$ at 0.1-1%, consistent with the local relation.

Magnetic field corrections to the repulsive Casimir effect at finite temperature
Creators: name: Erdas, Andrea

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

description: I investigate the finite temperature Casimir effect for a charged and massless scalar field satisfying mixed (Dirichlet-Neumann) boundary conditions on a pair of plane parallel plates of infinite size. The effect of a uniform magnetic field, perpendicular to the plates, on the Helmholtz free energy and Casimir pressure is studied. The zeta-function regularization technique is used to obtain finite results. Simple analytic expressions are obtained for the zeta function and the free energy, in the limits of small plate distance, high temperature and strong magnetic field. The Casimir pressure is obtained in each of the three limits and the situation of a magnetic field present between and outside the plates, as well as that of a magnetic field present only between the plates is examined. It is discovered that, in the small plate distance and high temperature limits, the repulsive pressure is less when the magnetic field is present between the plates but not outside, than it is when the magnetic field is present between and outside the plates.

description: Wechsel im Präsidentenamt sind in der 1652 beginnenden Geschichte der Leopoldina, seit 2008 Nationale Akademie der Wissenschaften, vergleichsweise seltene Höhepunkte des Wirkens. Im Februar 2020 übergab der XXVI. Leopoldina-Präsident, der Mikrobiologe Jörg Hacker, in einem Festakt die Führung der Akademie an den XXVII. Präsidenten, den Geowissenschaftler Gerald Haug. Die Ansprachen anlässlich des Amtswechsels ziehen eine Bilanz der Tätigkeit in den zurückliegenden Jahren und liefern eine Vorausschau auf neue Schwerpunkte sowie künftige Projekte, die Perspektiven für eine kontinuierliche Weiterentwicklung der Arbeitsfelder der Akademie, vor allem in der Politikberatung und der internationalen Vertretung der deutschen Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft, aufzeigen und die Einordnung der Akademie in die aktuelle Wissenschaftspolitik und Forschungslandschaft verdeutlichen.

description: В статье показано, что имеющиеся различия годовых циклов блох C. t. ciscaucasicus, паразитирующих в поселениях малого суслика  в Восточном Предкавказье и C. t. elbrusensis - в поселениях горного суслика в Приэльбрусье (при сохранении общей схемы чередования основных сезонных этапов), определяются климатическими условиями мест обитания паразитов, биологическими возможностями их к существованию в этих условиях, особенностями фенологии хозяев. Различия годовых жизненных циклов C. t. ciscaucasicus и C. t. elbrusensis определяют особенности участия их в эпизоотическом процессе в природных очагах, расположенных на этой территории.
description: The article shows , that the existing differences in the annual cycles of the fleas C. t. ciscaucasicus, parasitizing in the settlements of the little ground squirrel in the Eastern Ciscaucasia and C. t. elbrusensis - in the settlements of the mountain ground squirrel in the Elbrus region (while maintaining the general pattern of alternation of the main seasonal stages), are determined by the climatic conditions of the habitats of the parasites, their biological capabilities for existence in these conditions, and the peculiarities of the phenology of the hosts. Differences in the annual life cycles of C. t. ciscaucasicus and C . t. elbrusensis determine the features of their participation in the epizootic process in natural foci located in this territory.
Evolution of velocity dispersion along cold collisionless flows

description: The infall of cold dark matter onto a galaxy produces cold collisionless flows and caustics in its halo. If a signal is found in the cavity detector of dark matter axions, the flows will be readily apparent as peaks in the energy spectrum of photons from axion conversion, allowing the densities, velocity vectors and velocity dispersions of the flows to be determined. We discuss the evolution of velocity dispersion along cold collisionless flows in one and two dimensions. A technique is presented for obtaining the leading behaviour of the velocity dispersion near caustics. The results are used to derive an upper limit on the energy dispersion of the Big Flow from the sharpness of its nearby caustic, and a prediction for the dispersions in its velocity components.

description: Gesellschaftliche Probleme verlangen heute sehr häufig eine Widerspiegelung im Bereich der Wissenschaften. Als Nationale Akademie der Wissenschaften ist die Leopoldina in zunehmendem Maße gefordert, auch Beratung bei Fragen zu liefern, die über Länder und Kontinentgrenzen hinausgreifen: Klimawandel, der Einsatz erneuerbarer Energien, Fragen der Gesundheitsversorgung, die Einrichtung einer effektiveren Landwirtschaft zur Bekämpfung von Hunger in Krisengebieten und die sich wandelnde Altersstruktur von Bevölkerungen in vielen Staaten sind nur einige Beispiele für entsprechende Gebiete mit dringendem Forschungsbedarf. Sie bilden Herausforderungen für die Gesellschaften, die nur in internationaler, oft globaler Zusammenarbeit zu bewältigen sein werden. Daher wählte die Leopoldina 2012 das Thema „Rolle der Wissenschaft im Globalen Wandel“ für ihre Jahresversammlung. Der Band umfasst Beiträge zu den Themenkomplexen „Die Erde im Globalen Wandel“, „Herausforderungen des Globalen Wandels“ und „Lösungswege von Problemen des Globalen Wandels“ sowie zu den gesellschaftlichen und politischen Implikationen der mit dem globalen Wandel verbundenen Prozesse.
