description: Social cognition, the mental operations that underlie social interactions, is a major construct to investigate in schizophrenia. Impairments in social cognition are present before the onset of psychosis, and even in unaffected first-degree relatives, suggesting that social cognition may be a trait marker of the illness.In a large cohort of individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR) and healthy controls, three domains of social cognition (theory of mind, facial emotion recognition and social perception) were assessed to clarify which domains are impaired in this population.Six-hundred and seventy-five CHR individuals and 264 controls, who were part of the multi-site North American Prodromal Longitudinal Study, completed The Awareness of Social Inference Test, the Penn Emotion Recognition task, the Penn Emotion Differentiation task, and the Relationship Across Domains, measures of theory of mind, facial emotion recognition, and social perception, respectively.Social cognition was not related to positive and negative symptom severity, but was associated with age and IQ. CHR individuals demonstrated poorer performance on all measures of social cognition. However, after controlling for age and IQ, the group differences remained significant for measures of theory of mind and social perception, but not for facial emotion recognition.Theory of mind and social perception are impaired in individuals at CHR for psychosis. Age and IQ seem to play an important role in the arising of deficits in facial affect recognition. Future studies should examine the stability of social cognition deficits over time and their role, if any, in the development of psychosis.

description: The recent development of multimodal single-cell technology has made the possibility of acquiring multiple omics data from individual cells, thereby enabling a deeper understanding of cellular states and dynamics. Nevertheless, the proliferation of multimodal single-cell data also introduces tremendous challenges in modeling the complex interactions among different modalities. The recently advanced methods focus on constructing static interaction graphs and applying graph neural networks (GNNs) to learn from multimodal data. However, such static graphs can be suboptimal as they do not take advantage of the downstream task information; meanwhile GNNs also have some inherent limitations when deeply stacking GNN layers. To tackle these issues, in this work, we investigate how to leverage transformers for multimodal single-cell data in an end-to-end manner while exploiting downstream task information. In particular, we propose a scMoFormer framework which can readily incorporate external domain knowledge and model the interactions within each modality and cross modalities. Extensive experiments demonstrate that scMoFormer achieves superior performance on various benchmark datasets. Remarkably, scMoFormer won a Kaggle silver medal with the rank of 24/1221 (Top 2%) without ensemble in a NeurIPS 2022 competition. Our implementation is publicly available at Github.

Sequence design with applications to ultra-wideband communication systems
Creators: name: Wu, Di
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2007

description: To enable high data rate target applications in a typical ultra-wideband (UWB) dense multipath channel, DS-UWB signaling suffers from a severe inter-symbol-interference (ISI) and multiple access interference (MAI). In an attempt to avoid complexity at the receiver, we tackle these problems from the transmitter side and consider ternary sequence based UWB (TS-UWB) signaling as a unifying descriptor of a number of impulse-based UWB schemes.We propose a technique which employs ternary complementary sets to improve the performance of orthogonal pulse based multi-channel UWB systems. By assigning mutually orthogonal (MO) complementary sets to the users, both MAI and multipath interference can be significantly suppressed. One of the major impediments to deploying such systems is a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). We show that PAPR can be upper bounded by an autocorrelation merit function of column sequences of the corresponding complementary set matrix. Hence, we propose a design of complementary sets satisfying a column correlation constraint. The design algorithm recursively builds a collection of MO complementary set matrices starting from a companion pair of sequences. We relate correlation properties of column sequences to that of the companion pair and illustrate how to select an appropriate companion pair to ensure that a given column correlation constraint is satisfied.To support high-speed and multirate data services, we construct ternary orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) code with a zero-correlation zone (ZCZ). Compared to the conventional Walsh code based OVSF code, the proposed ZCZ-OVSF code maintains its code orthogonality even in a multipath channel or when synchronism is lacking and, thus, is suitable for quasi-synchronous (QS) TS-UWB systems. We further propose an adaptive data rate transmission scheme which maximizes the uplink aggregate throughput of the system by allocating OVSF codes to the active users based on their signal to interference and noise ratios (SINR).Finally, we propose an adaptive transmission approach that suggests selecting a ternary beamforming sequence for a TS-UWB signal based on the signs of the reflection coefficients corresponding to a few strongest paths so that the signal energy at the output of the simple non-adaptive receiver is enhanced.

description: We investigate the relations between the Grothendieck group of coherent modules of an algebraic variety and its Chow group of algebraic cycles modulo rational equivalence. Those are in essence torsion phenomena, which we attempt to control by considering the action of the Adams operations on the Brown-Gersten-Quillen spectral sequence and related objects, such as connective K_0-theory. We provide elementary arguments whenever possible. As applications, we compute the connective K_0-theory of the following objects: (1) the variety of reduced norm one elements in a central division algebra of prime degree; (2) the classifying space of the split special orthogonal group of odd degree.

description: NASA’s Transform to Open Science (TOPS) mission is being designed to support the adoption of open science and broaden participation in science. During the 2023 Year of Open Science TOPS is planning a broad suite of resources, events, and activities. TOPS efforts are built on relationships with a variety of diverse communities. Critical to these relationships is open, candid, and complete two-way communication. This month, we focused into on NASA Science Mission Directorate Divisions: Biological and Physical Sciences and Heliophysics, to learn more about those domain-specific open science activities. We also asked for feedback on related open science activities in the other domains (Astrophysics, Planetary Science and Earth Science) and points where different domains' efforts could benefit and augment one another. This is the resulting jamboard output from those discussions.

description: Interactions between a supermassive black hole binary and the surrounding accretion disc can both assist the binary inspiral and align the black hole spins to the disc angular momentum. While binary migration is due to angular-momentum transfer within the circumbinary disc, the spin-alignment process is driven by the mass accreting on to each black hole. Mass transfer between different disc components thus couples the inspiral and the alignment process together. Mass is expected to leak through the cavity cleared by the binary, and preferentially accretes on to the lighter (secondary) black hole which orbits closer to the disc edge. Low accretion rate on to the heavier (primary) black hole slows the alignment process down. We revisit the problem and develop a semi-analytical model to describe the coupling between gas-driven inspiral and spin alignment, finding that binaries with mass ratio q

description: Background: Metacognition has been described as the knowledge of our own cognitive processes. Metacognitive deficits are common in schizophrenia, but little is known about metacognition before the onset of full-blown psychosis. Aims: This study aimed to longitudinally characterize metacognition in a sample of individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis, and to determine if metacognition was related to later conversion to psychosis. Method: Participants (153 CHR individuals; 68 help seeking controls, HSC) were part of the large multi-site PREDICT study, which sought to determine predictors of conversion to psychosis. They were tested at baseline and 6 months using the Meta-Cognitions Questionnaire (MCQ) that has five sub-scales assessing different domains of metacognition. Results: Results of the mixed-effect models demonstrated significantly poorer scores at baseline for the CHR group compared to the HSC group in Negative beliefs about uncontrollability, Negative beliefs and the overall MCQ score. At the 6-month assessment, no difference was observed in metacognition between the two groups, but both groups showed improvement in metacognition over time. Those who later converted to psychosis had poorer performance on metacognitive beliefs at baseline. Conclusions: A poorer performance in metacognition can be seen as a marker of developing a full blown psychotic illness and confirms the potential value of assessing metacognitive beliefs in individuals vulnerable for psychosis.

description: We present a novel dual-encoded magnetization transfer (MT) and diffusion-weighted sequence and demonstrate its potential to resolve distinct properties of white matter fiber tracts at the sub-voxel level. The sequence was designed and optimized for maximal MT contrast efficiency. The resulting whole brain 2.6 mm isotropic protocol to measure tract-specific MT ratio (MTR) has a scan time under 7 minutes. Ten healthy subjects were scanned twice to assess repeatability. Two different analysis methods were contrasted: a technique to extract tract-specific MTR using Convex Optimization Modeling for Microstructure Informed Tractography (COMMIT), a global optimization technique; and conventional MTR tractometry. The results demonstrate that the tract-specific method can reliably resolve the MT ratios of major white matter fiber pathways and is less affected by partial volume effects than conventional multi-modal tractometry. Dual-encoded MT and diffusion is expected to both increase the sensitivity to microstructure alterations of specific tracts due to disease, ageing or learning, as well as lead to weighted structural connectomes with more anatomical specificity.

Modeling and planning accelerated life testing with proportional odds
Creators: name: Zhang, Hao
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2007

description: Accelerated life testing (ALT) is a method for estimating the reliability of products at normal operating conditions from the failure data obtained at the severe conditions. We propose an ALT model based on the proportional odds (PO) assumption to analyze failure time data and investigate the optimum ALT plans for multiple-stress-type cases based on the PO assumption.We present the PO-based ALT model and propose the parameter estimation procedures by approximating the general baseline odds function with a polynomial function.Numerical examples with experimental data and Monte Carlo simulation data verify that the PO-based ALT model provides more accurate reliability estimate for the failure time data exhibiting PO properties.The accuracy of the reliability estimates is directly affected by the reliability inference model and how the ALT is conducted. The latter is addressed in the literature as the design of ALT test plans. Design of ALT test plans under one type of stress may mask the effect of other critical types of stresses that could lead to the component's failure.The extended life of today's products makes it difficult to obtain "enough" failures in a reasonable amount of testing time using single stress type. Therefore, it is more realistic to consider multiple stress types. This is the first research that investigates the design of optimum ALT test plans with multiple stress types. We formulate nonlinear optimization problems to determine the optimum ALT plans. The optimization problem was solved with a numerical optimization method.Reliability practitioners could choose different ALT plans in terms of the stress loading types. In this dissertation we conduct the first investigation of the equivalency of ALT plans, which enables reliability practitioners to choose the appropriate ALT plan according to resource restrictions. The results of this research show that one can indeed develop efficient test plans that can provide accurate reliability estimate at design conditions in much shorter test duration than the traditional test plans.Finally, we conduct experimental testing using miniature light bulbs. The test units are subjected to different stress types. The results validate the applicability of the PO-based ALT models.

description: Background: Antipsychotic medication use rates have generally been rising among youth with psychiatric disorders, but little is known about use rates of antipsychotics or other psychotropic medications in patients at high risk for psychosis. Method: Baseline psychotropic medication use rates were compared in two research cohorts of patients at high risk for psychosis that enrolled between 1998-2005 (n. = 391) and 2008-2011 (n. = 346). Treatment durations and antipsychotic doses were described for cohort 2. Results: Median age was 17. years in cohort 1 and 18. years in cohort 2. The rate of prescription of any psychotropic at baseline was roughly 40% for each cohort. Antipsychotic prescription rates were 24% among sites that permitted baseline antipsychotic use in cohort 1 and 18% in the cohort 2; the decline did not quite reach statistical significance (p. = 0.064). In cohort 2 the mean. ±. SD baseline chlorpromazine-equivalent dose was 121. ±. 108. mg/d, and lifetime duration of antipsychotic treatment was 3.8. ±. 5.9. months. Discussion: Although the rate of antipsychotic prescription among high-risk youth may have fallen slightly, the nearly one-in-five rate in the second cohort still constitutes a significant exposure. Mitigating factors were that doses and durations of treatment were low. As for other nonpsychotic conditions, it is incumbent on our field to develop alternative treatments for high-risk patients and to generate additional evidence for or against the efficacy of antipsychotics to help define their appropriate role if alternative treatments fail.
Just-in-time and just-in-place deadlock resolution
Creators: name: Zeng, Fancong
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2007

description: Deadlocked threads cannot make further progress, and frequently tie up resources requested by still other threads, causing more and more threads to come to a standstill. Thus, a deadlock should not remain undetected and uncorrected for a long time. If deadlock-detection processes are run too frequently, however, valuable system resources may be wasted. Therefore, it is important to choose the right interval between successive deadlock detections. Deadlock recovery must follow deadlock detection to release held resources in the cyclic wait. In addition to restarting the entire system, it is desirable that programmers be able to implement fine-grained recovery actions such as releasing a resource currently not in use. Such fine-grained recovery actions often require the knowledge of program contexts and deadlock states. Unfortunately, modern programming languages lack language-level support for signaling deadlock conditions and for structuring resolution code. My thesis is that, under the assumption that the time to the first deadlock in the system (after a system restart) follows an exponential distribution, a reinforcement-learning approach is effective in scheduling deadlock detection for a restart-oriented system, and that runtime exceptions are a programming abstraction that allows programmers to write fine-grained deadlock recovery code. My approach to deadlock-detection scheduling as reinforcement learning estimates the deadlock rate and then performs an optimization to find the detection interval that maximizes system utility. It is theoretically proved that this technique finds the best tradeoff, and experimental results suggest that it is a reasonable approximation to assume that the time to the first deadlock in the system (after a system restart) follows an exponential distribution. It is natural to consider deadlock occurrences as runtime exceptions because at runtime it is relatively easy to detect actual deadlock occurrences, which represent not only abnormal states but also fatal errors. Thus, exception handlers can be used to resolve deadlock occurrences based on deadlock states and program contexts. Furthermore, because exceptions are a widely used language concept, the technique of deadlock resolution via exceptions is intuitive and practical.

description: Erdős proved that any real number can be written as a sum, and a product, of two Liouville numbers. Motivated by these results, we study sumsets of classes of real numbers with prescribed (or bounded) irrationality exponents. We show that such sumsets turn out to be large in general, indeed almost every real number with respect to Lebesgue measure can be written as the sum of two numbers with sufficiently large prescribed irrationality exponents. In fact the Hausdorff dimension of the complement is small, and the result remains true if we impose considerably refined conditions on the orders of rational approximation (``exact approximation'' with respect to an approximation function). As an application, we show that in many cases the Hausdorff dimension of Cartesian products of sets with prescribed irrationality exponent exceeds the expected dimension, that is the sum of the single Hausdorff dimensions. We also address their packing dimensions. Similar results hold when restricting to classical missing digit Cantor sets, relative to its natural Cantor measure. In particular, we prove that the subset of numbers with prescribed large irrationality exponent has full packing dimension, i.e. the same packing dimension as the entire Cantor set. This complements some results on the Hausdorff dimension of these sets, which is an extensively studied topic in Diophantine approximation. Our proofs are based on ideas of Erdős, but vastly extend them.

description: Bayesian inference provides a principled framework for learning from complex data and reasoning under uncertainty. It has been widely applied in machine learning tasks such as medical diagnosis, drug design, and policymaking. In these common applications, data can be highly sensitive. Differential privacy (DP) offers data analysis tools with powerful worst-case privacy guarantees and has been developed as the leading approach in privacy-preserving data analysis. In this paper, we study Metropolis-Hastings (MH), one of the most fundamental MCMC methods, for large-scale Bayesian inference under differential privacy. While most existing private MCMC algorithms sacrifice accuracy and efficiency to obtain privacy, we provide the first exact and fast DP MH algorithm, using only a minibatch of data in most iterations. We further reveal, for the first time, a three-way trade-off among privacy, scalability (i.e. the batch size), and efficiency (i.e. the convergence rate), theoretically characterizing how privacy affects the utility and computational cost in Bayesian inference. We empirically demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our algorithm in various experiments.

description: Motivated by the Bekenstein Hawking formula and the area law behaviour of entanglement entropy, we propose that in any UV finite theory of quantum gravity with a smooth spacetime, the total entropy for a pure state in a co-dimension one spatial region, to leading order, is given by $S={A\over 4 G_N}$, where $A$ is the area of the co-dimension two boundary. In the context of $Dp$ brane holography we show that for some specially chosen regions bulk entanglement can be mapped to ``target space" entanglement in the boundary theory. Our conjecture then leads to a precise proposal for target space entanglement in the boundary theory at strong coupling and large $N$. In particular it leads to the conclusion that the target space entanglement would scale like $O(N^2)$ which is quite plausible in a system with $O(N^2)$ degrees of freedom. Recent numerical advances in studying the D0 brane system hold out the hope that this proposal can be tested in a precise way in the future.

description: Citizen science can provide long-term solutions in data generation in the
 Philippines, where regular and widescale data monitoring is often lacking.
 However, despite its cost-effectiveness, it still comprises costs in technical
 equipment, labor, and/or consultancy which can be costly for communities that may not have enough operational and financial resources to sustain it. Tourism, as one of the largest and fastest growing economic sectors in the world, serves as great avenue for citizen science not only to generate a pool of participants but also to build greater public awareness and civic participation in coastal ecosystems. The possibilities to finance this initiative through an additional user fee added especially in monitoring activities in tourism areas are assessed through a willingness and ability to pay study in Binukbok Point, Philippines.
 Fifteen respondents—equally divided into SCUBA/recreational divers,
 freedivers/skin divers, and non-divers/snorkelers—are identified in this study
 for a conduct of focus-group interviews to identify their perceptions on different variables and to gather their willingness to pay bids. These bids—as well as a base price of ₱100—are also evaluated to look into whether they can truly afford to pay for additional user fees. This study reveals that visitors are willing to pay for an additional user fee. However, transparency and accountability factor considerably in their decision: Visitors are willing to pay so long as changes in the area are visible and usage of fees is transparently disclosed.
 While visitors are willing to pay for an additional user fee, they are able to afford only a limited range of values with a maximum tolerance around ₱100 to financially sustain this undertaking. Future willingness to pay studies are
 recommended to add ability to pay assessments.

description: В статье рассматриваются проблемы анализа случайных сигналов как скрытых, так и трудно оцениваемых субъективных факторов, которые влияют на развитие мировой экономики. Случайные сигналы операционные стратегии глобальных макроэкономических игроков закладывают управляемые характеристики и структуру будущего кризиса как осознанно применяемого инструмента расчистки сложившихся макроэкономических диспропорций. Исследование случайных сигналов требует соответствующего аналитического аппарата. Возможным инструментом является предлагаемый расчет корреляционной функции случайного сигнала в сложной экономической системе, обеспечивающий выделение стратегических сигналов из шумов в условиях вариабельной достоверности ключевых макроэкономических детерминант.The article discusses the problems of analyzing random signals of both hidden and difficult to assess subjective factors that affect the development of the world economy. Random signals the operational strategies of global macroeconomic players lay out the controllable characteristics and structure of the future crisis, as a consciously used tool to clear the existing macroeconomic imbalances. The study of random signals requires an appropriate analytical apparatus. A possible tool is the proposed calculation of the correlation function of a random signal in a complex economic system, which ensures the isolation of strategic signals from noise under conditions of variable reliability of key macroeconomic determinants.
Spherical maximal functions and fractal dimensions of dilation sets

description: For the spherical mean operators $\mathcal{A}_t$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge 2$, we consider the maximal functions $M_Ef =\sup_{t\in E} |\mathcal{A}_t f|$, with dilation sets $E\subset [1,2]$. In this paper we give a surprising characterization of the closed convex sets which can occur as closure of the sharp $L^p$ improving region of $M_E$ for some $E$. This region depends on the Minkowski dimension of $E$, but also other properties of the fractal geometry such as the Assouad spectrum of $E$ and subsets of $E$. A key ingredient is an essentially sharp result on $M_E$ for a class of sets called (quasi-)Assouad regular which is new in two dimensions.

Influence of environmental factors and the host's susceptibility on the development of listeria monocytogenes infection in the guinea pig model
Creators: name: Pang, Hoan-Jen Eunice

description: Listeria monocytogenes is an intracellular pathogen commonly associated with ready-to-eat foods. Using the guinea pig model, the impact of environmental factors on the infectivity of L. monocytogenes, as well as the impact of a host's immunity, on the development of listerial infection was investigated. Experiments were conducted to determine whether exposure to food environment and improper handling conditions impact the infectivity of L. monocytogenes. Results indicated that the virulence of L. monocytogenes was not influenced by exposure of the pathogen to food or improper handling conditions. In young adult guinea pigs orally challenged with 10² L. monocytogenes, a 27% infection rate occurred.Further studies were conducted to determine the impact of immunomodulation of a host's immunity on the development of listerial infection using aged guinea pigs. Flow cytometry analysis showed that daily supplementation with vitamin E significantly increased the level of CD8+ T cells, while cyclosporine A (CsA) treatment resulted in a 25% decrease of CD8+ T cells. HPLC analysis showed that short-term supplementation with vitamin E resulted in an overall 1-fold increase in the plasma alpha-tocopherol concentration. In low-dose (10² CFU) challenged animals, 50% of the control-group animals became infected. Only 22% of animals receiving the orthomolecular dose of vitamin E became infected, whereas animals that were immunosuppressed had an infection rate of 89%. In the immunosuppressed group three animals (16%) developed listerial infection with a quantifiable bacterial level of 0.3-3 log CFU g(-1) of organ in the spleen and liver. In the high-dose study, the population of L. monocytogenes was consistently 1 log CFU lower in the spleen and liver of animals in the vitamin E group as compared to the control and CsA-treated groups. The level of L. monocytogenes was not significantly different between the control and CsA-treated groups. The results suggest that immunomodulation of the host can influence listerial infection within an aged population of guinea pigs. From a public health perspective, the research indicates that alow oral dose of L. monocytogenes may pose a human health risk.

description: On November 1-3, 2016, a group of 17 academics and practitioners in the field of ecosystem services (ES) met to evaluate the current state of practiceon uncertainty assessment. The aim of the workshop, funded by the National Center for Socio-Environmental Synthesis (SESYNC), was to: i) identify and improve the accessibility of uncertainty assessment tools and approaches that have direct applicability to ES studies; ii) explore ways to cultivate demand for uncertainty assessment in ES studies (from decision-makers and analysts), including the potential role for best practices or “standards”; and iii) identify future research and tool development necessary to overcome remaining barriers.

description: Robust states emerging at the boundary of a system constitute a hallmark for topological band structures. Other than in closed systems, topologically protected states can occur even in systems with a trivial band structure, if exposed to suitably modulated losses. Here, we study the dissipation-induced emergence of a topological band structure in a non-Hermitian one-dimensional lattice system, realized by arrays of plasmonic waveguides with tailored loss. We obtain direct evidence for a topological edge state that resides in the center of the band gap. By tuning dissipation and hopping, the formation and breakdown of an interface state between topologically distinct regions is demonstrated.
