description: In order to sample marginalized and/or hard-to-reach populations, respondent-driven sampling (RDS) and similar techniques reach their participants via peer referral. Under a Markov model for RDS, previous research has shown that if the typical participant refers too many contacts, then the variance of common estimators does not decay like $O(n^{-1})$, where $n$ is the sample size. This implies that confidence intervals will be far wider than under a typical sampling design. Here we show that generalized least squares (GLS) can effectively reduce the variance of RDS estimates. In particular, a theoretical analysis indicates that the variance of the GLS estimator is $O(n^{-1})$. We then derive two classes of feasible GLS estimators. The first class is based upon a Degree Corrected Stochastic Blockmodel for the underlying social network. The second class is based upon a rank-two model. It might be of independent interest that in both model classes, the theoretical results show that it is possible to estimate the spectral properties of the population network from the sampled observations. Simulations on empirical social networks show that the feasible GLS (fGLS) estimators can have drastically smaller error and rarely increase the error. A diagnostic plot helps to identify where fGLS will aid estimation. The fGLS estimators continue to outperform standard estimators even when they are built from a misspecified model and when there is preferential recruitment.

description: Animal cells in tissues are supported by biopolymer matrices, which typically exhibit highly nonlinear mechanical properties. While the linear elasticity of the matrix can significantly impact cell mechanics and functionality, it remains largely unknown how cells, in turn, affect the nonlinear mechanics of their surrounding matrix. Here we show that living contractile cells are able to generate a massive stiffness gradient in three distinct 3D extracellular matrix model systems: collagen, fibrin, and Matrigel. We decipher this remarkable behavior by introducing Nonlinear Stress Inference Microscopy (NSIM), a novel technique to infer stress fields in a 3D matrix from nonlinear microrheology measurement with optical tweezers. Using NSIM and simulations, we reveal a long-ranged propagation of cell-generated stresses resulting from local filament buckling. This slow decay of stress gives rise to the large spatial extent of the observed cell-induced matrix stiffness gradient, which could form a mechanism for mechanical communication between cells.

description: Shapes of four dimensional spaces can be studied effectively via maps to standard surfaces. We explain, and illustrate by quintessential examples, how to simplify such generic maps on 4-manifolds topologically, in order to derive simple decompositions into much better understood manifold pieces. Our methods not only allow us to produce various interesting families of examples, but also to establish a correspondence between simplified broken Lefschetz fibrations and simplified trisections of closed, oriented 4-manifolds.

description: Algorithms that decompose a manifold into simple pieces reveal the geometric and topological structure of the manifold, showing how complicated structures are constructed from simple building blocks. This note describes a way to algorithmically construct a trisection, which describes a $4$-dimensional manifold as a union of three $4$-dimensional handlebodies. The complexity of the $4$-manifold is captured in a collection of curves on a surface, which guide the gluing of the handelbodies. The algorithm begins with a description of a manifold as a union of pentachora, or $4$-dimensional simplices. It transforms this description into a trisection. This results in the first explicit complexity bounds for the trisection genus of a $4$-manifold in terms of the number of pentachora ($4$-simplices) in a triangulation.

description: The current research highlights regarding future low-dielectric resins for circuit boards lie in their recyclability and pattern ability. In the present work, we put forward a new idea to simultaneously achieve the recyclability and pattern ability of low-dielectric resins in circuit board. In detail, a series of low-dielectric vitrimers were prepared by copolymerization of fluorinated monomers followed by employing imine cross-linked network. By incorporating fluorine-contained units, the dielectric constant of the vitrimers reached to ∼2.4, while preserving high mechanical strength around 33 MPa. Moreover, after reprocessing three times, the dielectric constants of the PFS-imines remained almost unchanged and 89% of original mechanical strength was recovered. Owing to the increased chain relaxation, PFS-imines can be multiply patterned by directly imprinting at the temperature above Tv. Furthermore, the pattern of PFS-imines is removable and reformed, which may be attributed to their reprocessability. Thus, PFS-imine exhibits pattern ability and recyclability, making it particularly suitable for applications in electronic packaging and circuit boards, compared with that of conventional low-dielectric resins.
The specificity and robustness of long-distance connections in weighted, interareal connectomes

description: Brain areas' functional repertoires are shaped by their incoming and outgoing structural connections. In empirically measured networks, most connections are short, reflecting spatial and energetic constraints. Nonetheless, a small number of connections span long distances, consistent with the notion that the functionality of these connections must outweigh their cost. While the precise function of these long-distance connections is not known, the leading hypothesis is that they act to reduce the topological distance between brain areas and facilitate efficient interareal communication. However, this hypothesis implies a non-specificity of long-distance connections that we contend is unlikely. Instead, we propose that long-distance connections serve to diversify brain areas' inputs and outputs, thereby promoting complex dynamics. Through analysis of five interareal network datasets, we show that long-distance connections play only minor roles in reducing average interareal topological distance. In contrast, areas' long-distance and short-range neighbors exhibit marked differences in their connectivity profiles, suggesting that long-distance connections enhance dissimilarity between regional inputs and outputs. Next, we show that -- in isolation -- areas' long-distance connectivity profiles exhibit non-random levels of similarity, suggesting that the communication pathways formed by long connections exhibit redundancies that may serve to promote robustness. Finally, we use a linearization of Wilson-Cowan dynamics to simulate the covariance structure of neural activity and show that in the absence of long-distance connections, a common measure of functional diversity decreases. Collectively, our findings suggest that long-distance connections are necessary for supporting diverse and complex brain dynamics.

description: The CEDS Sankey Visualization Tool leverages data from the Community Emissions Data System (CEDS), a comprehensive open-source framework for historical emission estimates. This allows users to explore emission trends, as CEDS provides consistent data for global air emissions species (BC, CO, CO2, NH3, NMVOC, NOx, OC, SO2) over the industrial era (1750 – present) along with CH4 and N2O over recent decades. With the Sankey tool, users can easily visualize emission flows across sectors and how different sectors contribute to global emissions, as well as track the impact of technologies on global emissions, ultimately gaining data-driven insights to support informed decision-making for a sustainable future.

Variational structure of Luttinger-Ward formalism and bold diagrammatic expansion for Euclidean lattice field theory

description: The Luttinger-Ward functional was proposed more than five decades ago to provide a link between static and dynamic quantities in a quantum many-body system. Despite its widespread usage, the derivation of the Luttinger-Ward functional remains valid only in the formal sense, and even the very existence of this functional has been challenged by recent numerical evidence. In a simpler and yet highly relevant regime, namely the Euclidean lattice field theory, we rigorously prove that the Luttinger-Ward functional is a well-defined universal functional over all physical Green's functions. Using the Luttinger-Ward functional, the free energy can be variationally minimized with respect to Green's functions in its domain. We then derive the widely used bold diagrammatic expansion rigorously, without relying on formal arguments such as partial resummation of bare diagrams to infinite order.

description: Elastic weight consolidation (EWC, Kirkpatrick et al, 2017) is a novel algorithm designed to safeguard against catastrophic forgetting in neural networks. EWC can be seen as an approximation to Laplace propagation (Eskin et al, 2004), and this view is consistent with the motivation given by Kirkpatrick et al (2017). In this note, I present an extended derivation that covers the case when there are more than two tasks. I show that the quadratic penalties in EWC are inconsistent with this derivation and might lead to double-counting data from earlier tasks.

description: Magnetic carboxyl-functionalized crosslinked copolymer microspheres of α-methyl styrene and maleic anhydride (MCPMs) with a uniform particle size were synthesized based on self-stabilized precipitation polymerization. Magnetic crosslinked copolymer microspheres (MPMs) were prepared by in situ polymerization using oleic acid-modified Fe3O4 as the magnetic source, α-methyl styrene and maleic anhydride as monomers and divinylbenzene as the crosslinking agent, and MCPMs were then obtained by hydrolyzing the anhydride groups of MPMs into carboxyl groups. The as-prepared MCPMs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry and the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller method. The adsorption behavior, adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms of MCPMs for methylene blue (MB) removal from water were systematically investigated. It was found that MCPMs manifested good MB removal ability from water with a maximum MB adsorption capacity of 315 mg/g. The kinetic and isothermal data of MCPMs for MB removal followed the pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir isothermal model, respectively. In addition, MB-loaded MCPMs could be separated easily by magnets, and the MB removal rate of MCPMs still reached more than 90.0% after five cycles. These results indicate that MCPMs have great potential in cationic dye wastewater treatments.

Notes. – The collection number for the lectotype was erroneously given in the original publication.
Although Buhse 1358 was collected in 1849, the lectotype has a printed label showing Persia, Dr. Buhse, and the year 1847, as well as in Boissier’s handwriting of “1357 [for 1538] Alyssum Buhseanum n.sp. Yesd”. Discrepancy in the year of collections is considered here as an error that resulted from using a label pre-printed prior to the collection year.
The lectotype sheet also carries Dudley’s 1961 annotation of “A. mülleri Boiss. et Buhse. Cotype!”. However, neither 1357 nor 1358 were listed in BOISSIER’s (1888) index.
The duplicate at P is treated here as a likely isolectotype because it was collected from “Dehballoh”, though no year or collection number accompany it.

description: A key objective in DNA-based material science is understanding and precisely controlling the mechanical properties of DNA hydrogels. We perform microrheology measurements using diffusing-wave spectroscopy (DWS) to investigate the viscoelastic behavior of a hydrogel made of Y-shaped DNA nano-stars over a wide range of frequencies and temperatures. Results show a clear liquid-to-equilibrium-gel transition as the temperature cycles up and down across the melting-temperature region for which the Y-DNA bind to each other. These first measurements reveal the crossover of the elastic G'(ω) and loss modulus G'(ω) when the DNA-hydrogel formed at low temperatures is heated to a fluid phase of DNA nano-stars well above the melt temperature Tm. We show that the crossover relates to the life-time of the DNA-bond and also that percolation coincides with the systems' Tm. The approach demonstrated here can be easily extended to more complicated DNA hydrogel systems and provides guidance for the future design of such transient, semi-flexible networks that can be adapted to the application of molecular sensing and controlled release.
title: Handlungsspielräume im europäischen Gleichgewichtssystem
Creators: name: Schramm, Christoph
Year: 2010

description: Die hier vorliegende Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Handlungsspielräumen im europäischen Gleichgewichtssystem in der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts und stellt dabei Kaunitz und das Renversement des alliances in den Mittelpunkt. Im ersten Teil dieser Arbeit geht es darum, die Ursprünge des europäischen Gleichgewichtssystems nachzuzeichnen, es in seinen unterschiedlichen Varianten im Laufe der Jahrhunderte zu skizzieren und es in seiner Ausgestaltung im 18. Jahrhundert zu charakterisieren. Nach den eher theoretischen Ausführungen über mögliche Gleichgewichtsmodelle und deren Entwicklung werden die einzelnen Akteure, also Staaten, vorgestellt, die einen bedeutenden Einfluss auf das europäische Gleichgewicht im 18. Jahrhundert hatten. Dazu bedarf es einer eingehenden Analyse der beteiligten Staaten, die der demographischen Entwicklung, den territorialen Gegebenheiten, der Finanzgebarung, der Wirtschaft, den militärischen Kapazitäten sowie spezifischen Besonderheiten jedes einzelnen Staates Platz einräumt. Anschließend werden deren jeweilige außenpolitische Strukturen unter die Lupe genommen und ein Einblick in die Entscheidungsabläufe, die wichtigsten handelnden Personen, diplomatische Entwicklungen und ihre außenpolitischen Zielsetzungen gewährt. Ambitionierte Außenpolitik führte zumeist zu Konflikten mit anderen europäischen Großmächten, daher dürfen die wichtigsten Konfliktfelder hier nicht außer Acht gelassen werden. Ein zweiter Teil beschäftigt sich mit der Person des österreichischen Staatskanzlers Wenzel Anton von Kaunitz, um einen der Hauptprotagonisten des europäischen Gleichgewichtssystems in den Mittelpunkt zu rücken. Der Beschäftigung mit seiner Person und der Betrachtung seines politischen Werdegangs folgt eine Analyse seiner Sicht auf jede einzelne der europäischen Großmächte, „die Gesinnung, und Absichten der auswärtigen Höfen“, um zu zeigen, was man sich „von einem jeden Hof zu hoffen, oder zu beförchten haben dürfften.“ An diese Kaunitz’sche Beurteilung Frankreichs, Preußens, Russlands und der Seemächte schließt sich eine Untersuchung seiner außenpolitischen Ziele an, um in dieser Gesamtheit der Überlegungen das europäische Gleichgewichtssystem aus der Sicht der Zeit zeigen und darüber hinaus einen Blick aus der Innenperspektive einer der handelnden Personen ermöglichen zu können. Den Handlungsspielräumen ist ein dritter und abschließender Teil gewidmet, um einerseits die Einschränkung der Handlungsspielräume der einzelnen Akteure durch das Gleichgewichtssystems darzustellen, andererseits die Freiräume aufzuzeigen, die sich für die handelnden Personen ergeben konnten und anhand des Beispiels des „Renversement des alliances“ sowohl Erfolge als auch Ernüchterungen in den internationalen Beziehungen des 18. Jahrhunderts nachzeichnen zu können.

description: Given a handle decomposition of a 4-manifold with boundary, and an open book decomposition of the boundary, we show how to produce a trisection diagram of a trisection of the 4-manifold inducing the given open book. We do this by making the original proof of the existence of relative trisections more explicit, in terms of handles. Furthermore, we extend this existence result to the case of 4-manifolds with multiple boundary components, and show how trisected 4-manifolds with multiple boundary components glue together.

description: Since there is no hyperbolic Dehn filling theorem for higher dimensions, it is challenging to construct explicit hyperbolic manifolds of small volume in dimension at least four. Here, we build up closed hyperbolic 4-manifolds of volume $\frac{34π^2}{3}\cdot 16$ by using the small cover theory. In particular, we classify all of the orientable four-dimensional small covers over the right-angled 120-cell up to homeomorphism; these are all with even intersection forms.

description: We reported a new cascade type of synthetic methodology for poly(disulfide)s (PDS) from lipoic acid-based monomer. The primary amine-based activator and thiolactone initiator was used for the synthesis of poly(disulfide)s by ring opening disulfide exchange polymerization (RODEP) technique. This methodology offers in situ dual functionalization in the polymer chain end to synthesize a functional poly(disulfide)s. It was found to form a stable nanocarrier in aqueous medium with size of 100 nm by entropically driven pathway. It showed very low critical aggregation concentration and high encapsulation stability. Next, the degradation of the polymer chains in presence of glutathione was probed by chromatographic technique, which shows complete degradation of polymer chains. The GSH triggered guest release of PDS nanocarrier revealed almost ∼84% release in a controlled fashion. The MTT assay indicated excellent biocompatibility of the polymer itself as more than 90% cells were alive after 24 h of incubation of the polymer against HeLa cells. The cytotoxicity of the PDS@DOX exhibited more than 70% of cell death in 24 h of incubation. The live cell fluorescence microscopy studies revealed time dependent cellular internalization of the PDS@DOX, which supported the cancer cell death due to doxorubicin internalization followed by diffusion to the nucleus.

description: Determining the structure of water adsorbed on solid surfaces is a notoriously difficult task, and pushes the limits of experimental and theoretical techniques. Here, we follow the evolution of water agglomerates on Fe3O4(001); a complex mineral surface relevant in both modern technology and the natural environment. Strong OH-H2O bonds drive the formation of partially-dissociated water dimers at low coverage, but a surface reconstruction restricts the density of such species to one per unit cell. The dimers act as an anchor for further water molecules as the coverage increases, leading first to partially-dissociated water trimers, and then to a ring-like, hydrogen-bonded network that covers the entire surface. Unraveling this complexity requires the concerted application of several state-of-the-art methods. Quantitative temperature programmed desorption (TPD) reveals the coverage of stable structures, monochromatic x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows the extent of partial dissociation, and non-contact Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) using a CO-functionalized tip provides a direct view of the agglomerate structure. Together, these data provide a stringent test of the minimum energy configurations determined via a van der Waals density functional theory (DFT)-based genetic search.

description: Fish in schooling formations navigate complex flow-fields replete with mechanical energy in the vortex wakes of their companions. Their schooling behaviour has been associated with evolutionary advantages including collective energy savings. How fish harvest energy from their complex fluid environment and the underlying physical mechanisms governing energy-extraction during collective swimming, is still unknown. Here we show that fish can improve their sustained propulsive efficiency by actively following, and judiciously intercepting, vortices in the wake of other swimmers. This swimming strategy leads to collective energy-savings and is revealed through the first ever combination of deep reinforcement learning with high-fidelity flow simulations. We find that a `smart-swimmer' can adapt its position and body deformation to synchronise with the momentum of the oncoming vortices, improving its average swimming-efficiency at no cost to the leader. The results show that fish may harvest energy deposited in vortices produced by their peers, and support the conjecture that swimming in formation is energetically advantageous. Moreover, this study demonstrates that deep reinforcement learning can produce navigation algorithms for complex flow-fields, with promising implications for energy savings in autonomous robotic swarms.

description: Identifying appropriate materials for drug delivery and antibacterial to prevent wound infection is an important mission. Hydrogel is widely considered as a promising carrier to encapsulate drug and promote wound healing owing to the good biocompatibility. However, combining drug with antibacterial agent in a synergistic treatment effect still needs further research. Herein, this article reported an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory hydrogel based on titanium dioxide (TiO2) and ibuprofen (IBU) encapsulated in sodium alginate (SA) hydrogels. Formation of hydrogel was dependent on cross-linking SA molecular chain with divalent calcium ion which came from calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The hydrogel displayed ideal antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus under sunlight conditions due to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The anti-inflammatory drug IBU in hydrogel displayed the sustained release and the addition of TiO2 cannot affect the drug release behavior. The IBU release mechanism was investigated by drug release kinetics. The addition of TiO2 can improve the mechanical properties of SA hydrogel. The TiO2/SA hydrogel is stable, which can protect the drug activity and maintain the long-term release of drugs. This work developed a potential antibacterial and anti-inflammatory material for medical applications.

description: The formation of a viral capsid -- the highly-ordered protein shell that surrounds the genome of a virus -- is the canonical example of self-assembly. The capsids of many positive-sense RNA viruses spontaneously assemble from in vitro mixtures of the coat protein and RNA. The high yield of proper capsids that assemble is remarkable, given their structural complexity: 180 identical proteins must arrange into three distinct local configurations to form an icosahedral capsid with a triangulation number of 3 (T = 3). Despite a wealth of data from structural studies and simulations, even the most fundamental questions about how these structures assemble remain unresolved. Experiments have not determined whether the assembly pathway involves aggregation or nucleation, or how the RNA controls the process. Here we use interferometric scattering microscopy to directly observe the in vitro assembly kinetics of individual, unlabeled capsids of bacteriophage MS2. By measuring how many coat proteins bind to individual MS2 RNA strands over time scales from 1 ms to 900 s, we find that the start of assembly is broadly distributed in time and is followed by a rapid increase in the number of bound proteins. These measurements provide strong evidence for a nucleation-and-growth pathway. We also find that malformed structures assemble when multiple nuclei appear on the same RNA before the first nucleus has finished growing. Our measurements reveal the complex assembly pathways for viral capsids around RNA in quantitative detail, including the nucleation threshold, nucleation time, growth time, and constraints on the critical nucleus size. These results may inform strategies for engineering synthetic capsids or for derailing the assembly of pathogenic viruses.

description: Every student in statistics or data science learns early on that when the sample size largely exceeds the number of variables, fitting a logistic model produces estimates that are approximately unbiased. Every student also learns that there are formulas to predict the variability of these estimates which are used for the purpose of statistical inference; for instance, to produce p-values for testing the significance of regression coefficients. Although these formulas come from large sample asymptotics, we are often told that we are on reasonably safe grounds when $n$ is large in such a way that $n \ge 5p$ or $n \ge 10p$. This paper shows that this is far from the case, and consequently, inferences routinely produced by common software packages are often unreliable. Consider a logistic model with independent features in which $n$ and $p$ become increasingly large in a fixed ratio. Then we show that (1) the MLE is biased, (2) the variability of the MLE is far greater than classically predicted, and (3) the commonly used likelihood-ratio test (LRT) is not distributed as a chi-square. The bias of the MLE is extremely problematic as it yields completely wrong predictions for the probability of a case based on observed values of the covariates. We develop a new theory, which asymptotically predicts (1) the bias of the MLE, (2) the variability of the MLE, and (3) the distribution of the LRT. We empirically also demonstrate that these predictions are extremely accurate in finite samples. Further, an appealing feature is that these novel predictions depend on the unknown sequence of regression coefficients only through a single scalar, the overall strength of the signal. This suggests very concrete procedures to adjust inference; we describe one such procedure learning a single parameter from data and producing accurate inference
