description: Since roughly a decade ago, network science has focused among others on the problem of how the spreading of diseases depends on structural patterns. Here, we contribute to further advance our understanding of epidemic spreading processes by proposing a non-perturbative formulation of the heterogeneous mean field approach that has been commonly used in the physics literature to deal with this kind of spreading phenomena. The non-perturbative equations we propose have no assumption about the proximity of the system to the epidemic threshold, nor any linear approximation of the dynamics. In particular, we first develop a probabilistic description at the node level of the epidemic propagation for the so-called susceptible-infected-susceptible family of models, and after we derive the corresponding heterogeneous mean-field approach. We propose to use the full extension of the approach instead of pruning the expansion to first order, which leads to a non-perturbative formulation that can be solved by fixed point iteration, and used with reliability far away from the epidemic threshold to assess the prevalence of the epidemics. Our results are in close agreement with Monte Carlo simulations thus enhancing the predictive power of the classical heterogeneous mean field approach, while providing a more effective framework in terms of computational time.

description: The stochasticity of domain wall (DW) motion in magnetic nanowires has been probed by measuring slow fluctuations, or noise, in electrical resistance at small magnetic fields. By controlled injection of DWs into isolated cylindrical nanowires of nickel, we have been able to track the motion of the DWs between the electrical leads by discrete steps in the resistance. Closer inspection of the time-dependence of noise reveals a diffusive random walk of the DWs with an universal kinetic exponent. Our experiments outline a method with which electrical resistance is able to detect the kinetic state of the DWs inside the nanowires, which can be useful in DW-based memory designs.

A case study of a Canadian French-speaking child with protracted phonological development : nonlinear and constraint-based phonological perspectives
Creators: name: Spoor, Jessica
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: For speech-language pathologists (SLPs) working with preschool and school-aged children, a large proportion of their caseload consists of clients with protracted phonological development (PPD). Research has shown that speech and language therapy outcomes for children with PPD can be maximized when the therapy goals and intervention plan for a given client are guided by a strong linguistic theory and relevant acquisition norms. With more than 7 million native French speakers living in Canada, it is necessary that Canadian SLPs have access to studies that show the application of different linguistic theories to data from French-speaking children, as well as research pertaining to French acquisition norms. This descriptive case study applied the principles of nonlinear and constraint-based phonological theories to assessment data from a French-Canadian child with PPD, before and after phonological intervention. The analyses provided an overview of the child’s phonology at both time points, highlighting areas of strength and need, and were the basis for the discussion of the mismatch patterns observed. The relative progress of certain therapy targets compared to others was also evaluated with respect to this analytic framework, and a set of future intervention goals was proposed based on data from Time 2. To situate the data within the literature on Canadian French, the results were compared with what is known about phonological intervention and the emerging normative data about the acquisition of Canadian French. While his phonological profile reflected many of the trends described in the literature (e.g. his order of singleton consonant and consonant cluster acquisition, rates of deletions in codas), there were some notable discrepancies (e.g. Percent Consonants Correct, rates of mismatch types). At the initial assessment, his PCC was more than 2SD below reported means for other Canadian French-speaking children with and with no PPD. He also showed more segmental than syllable structure mismatches, which is opposite to the overall patterns reported in the Canadian French literature. The data speak to the value of case studies in acquisition research and the utility of comprehensive analyses in the description of complex patterns of phonological development.
Delayed feedback causes non-Markovian behavior of neuronal firing statistics

description: The instantaneous state of a neural network consists of both the degree of excitation of each neuron, the network is composed of, and positions of impulses in communication lines between neurons. In neurophysiological experiments, the neuronal firing moments are registered, but not the state of communication lines. But future spiking moments depend essentially on the past positions of impulses in the lines. This suggests, that the sequence of intervals between firing moments (interspike intervals, ISIs) in the network could be non-Markovian. In this paper, we address this question for a simplest possible neural "net", namely, a single neuron with delayed feedback. The neuron receives excitatory input both from the driving Poisson stream and from its own output through the feedback line. We obtain analytical expressions for conditional probability density $P(t_{n+1} | t_n,...,t_1,t_0)$, which gives the probability to get an output ISI of duration $t_{n+1}$ provided the previous $(n+1)$ output ISIs had durations $t_n,...,t_1,t_0$. It is proven exactly, that $P(t_{n+1} | t_n,...,t_1,t_0)$ does not reduce to $P(t_{n+1} | t_n,...,t_1)$ for any $n \geq 0$. This means that the output ISIs stream cannot be represented as Markov chain of any finite order.

description: Background: Obesity is associated with left ventricular hypertrophy, an independent risk factor of cardiovascular morbidity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate obesity-induced left ventricular hypertrophy in overweight/obese children and adolescents and demonstrate possible early echocardiographic abnormalities in overweight children compared to obese children. Methods: The study included 55 children and adolescents (24 overweight and 31 with obesity) and 55 normal weight children. Standard M-mode echocardiography was performed in all participants. Parameters associated with left ventricular structure and function were recorded and statistically analysed. Results: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVmass/height395th percentile) was diagnosed in 33% of overweight children and 66.5% of children with obesity (p=0.01). Mean left ventricular mass/height3 and left ventricular mass/height2.7 were significantly higher in children with obesity compared to overweight children, as well as compared to the normal weight children. On the contrary, mean values of the index left ventricular mass/body surface area did not differ significantly among study groups. Furthermore, mean left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, interventricular septal thickness and left atrial diameter, presented significant differences among the 3 studied groups, even between overweight and normal weight children. Both systolic and diastolic function of left ventricular function were normal in our study groups. Conclusions: Overweight children demonstrate significant early changes in left ventricular wall dimensions compared to normal weight children, while children with obesity additionally present a significant increase in left ventricular mass. Future studies are needed to explore the effect of dietary programs and other interventions on cardiac function parameters in these children.

description: We calculate for the first time cross sections for single and central diffractive as well as exclusive diffractive production of dilepton pairs in proton-proton collisions. Several differential distributions are shown. The inclusive diffractive processes are calculated using diffractive parton distributions extracted from the analysis of diffractive structure function and dijet production at HERA. We find that the inclusive single-diffractive Drell-Yan process is by about 2 orders of magnitude smaller than ordinary Drell-Yan process. The central-diffractive processes are smaller by one order of magnitude compared to single-diffractive ones. We consider also exclusive production of dilepton pairs. The exclusive photon-pomeron (pomeron-photon) process constitutes a background to the QED photon-photon process proposed to be used for controlling luminosity at LHC. Both processes are compared then in several differential distributions. We find a region of the phase space where the photon-pomeron or pomeron-photon contributions can be larger than the photon-photon one.

description: [Objective] The paper was to explore the optimum storage temperature of Amorphophallus cormifer microbulbs. [Method] With A. cormifer as the raw material, the effects of different storage temperatures (4, 12 and 20℃) on postharvest physiology of A. cormifer during the storage period of 80 d were investigated. [Result] There was no significant difference in starch content among the treatments, and the content of reducing sugar at 4 ℃ was significantly higher than those of other treatments during the storage period. There was no significant difference in total water content among treatments, and the specific gravity of free water at 4 ℃ was significantly lower than those at 12 and 20 ℃, respectively. At 60 d post storage, the POD activity at 4 ℃ was significantly higher than those at 12 and 20 ℃, respectively. At the 80th day of storage, the PPO activity at 4 ℃ was significantly lower than those at 12 and 20 ℃, respectively. [Conclusion] The low temperature of 4 ℃ is more conducive to the storage of A. cormifer microbulbs, and the results also provide the theoretical basis for long-term storage of A. cormifer bulbs.

description: Increased protein production is a prerequisite for cell proliferation, thus rendering translation and ribosome deregulation a common hallmark of cancer cell biology. A frequently observed mechanism in malignancies is the overactivation of the translational process. As a consequence, strategies that selectively target the ribosomal machinery bear significant promise as cancer therapeutic approaches. To this end, this report provides a workflow for the identification of novel miRNA molecules with the ability to target and suppress ribosomal activity in cancer cells.

description: This work updates an existing, simplistic computational model of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) to investigate the behaviour of synaptic compensatory mechanisms in neural networks with small-world connectivity, and varying methods of calculating compensation. It additionally introduces a method for simulating tau neurofibrillary pathology, resulting in a more dramatic damage profile. Small-world connectivity is shown to have contrasting effects on capacity, retrieval time, and robustness to damage, whilst the use of more easily-obtained remote memories rather than recent memories for synaptic compensation is found to lead to rapid network damage.

description: Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) form an observationally uniform class of stellar explosions, in that more luminous objects have smaller decline-rates. This one-parameter behavior allows SNe Ia to be calibrated as cosmological `standard candles', and led to the discovery of an accelerating Universe. Recent investigations, however, have revealed that the true nature of SNe Ia is more complicated. Theoretically, it has been suggested that the initial thermonuclear sparks are ignited at an offset from the centre of the white-dwarf (WD) progenitor, possibly as a result of convection before the explosion. Observationally, the diversity seen in the spectral evolution of SNe Ia beyond the luminosity decline-rate relation is an unresolved issue. Here we report that the spectral diversity is a consequence of random directions from which an asymmetric explosion is viewed. Our findings suggest that the spectral evolution diversity is no longer a concern in using SNe Ia as cosmological standard candles. Furthermore, this indicates that ignition at an offset from the centre of is a generic feature of SNe Ia.

description: During recent years, a good agreement was found between the analytical derivation and the numerical simulation of the Landau gauge gluon and ghost propagators. We mention the Schwinger-Dyson and Gribov-Zwanziger formalism for the analytical work. Although the agreement between several approaches is nice, these propagators do not correspond to the relevant physical degrees of freedom. In the case of pure gauge theories, one should start to study the glueball correlators. We shall try to explain why it looks like a hard challenge to go from the unphysical to the physical propagators in the case of the Gribov-Zwanziger theory (but similar conclusions might hold for other approaches giving similar propagators).

description: Brain irradiation is commonly used for many primary brain malignancies. After radiotherapy, the potential for the development of radiation-induced vasculopathy exists and should be kept in mind. Craniopharyngioma is one rare slowly developing, usually benign tumor. In the majority of cases, such tumors grow above the anterior upper lip of pituitary gland and are located mainly on Sella Turcica or on side sella areas. Macroscopically, they seem like big globe tumors with the white or red-blooded surface. Histologically, have ascertained two types, adamantinomatous and papillary type (though they have ascertained and mixed types). However, independently of their main type, they usually have cystic form. The size of craniopharyngioma is between 2 to 4 cm. Strike 0,12-2/100.000 people a year, 30 to 50% of all cases presenting during childhood and adolescence and they constitute the 2-5% of all brain tumors. The peak incidence rates have been shown in children of ages 5 to 14 years and adults of ages 50 to 74 years. The study below presents one case of post-radiation vasculopathy of the brain arteries of the patient who received radiation therapy to the brain as part of his craniopharingioma management. It will be underscored the significance of this patient condition and also will be described possible routes to prevent the occurrence of vasculopathy.

description: A classical Calogero model in an external harmonic potential is known to be integrable for any number of particles. We consider here reductions which play a role of "soliton" solutions of the model. We obtain these solutions both for the model with finite number of particles and in a hydrodynamic limit. In the latter limit the model is described by hydrodynamic equations on continuous density and velocity fields. Soliton solutions in this case are finite dimensional reductions of the hydrodynamic model and describe the propagation of lumps of density and velocity in the nontrivial background.

description: The aim of this study was to investigate the development of behavioral and memory disorders on healthy adult rats, after chronic, systematic administration of methotrexate and the biologic agents, Tocilizumab (anti-IL6) and Infliximab (anti-TNFa), that are used for Rheumatoid Arthritis. 35 adult male Wistar rats, 12 weeks old, were used in this study. The rats were divided into 5 groups (n=7): a control group (CTRL), which was submitted to tests without receiving any drug, a placebo group (PLC) which received normal saline (i.p.), a methotrexate group (MTX) receiving 0.25mg/kg of the drug (i.p.), an infliximab group (INFL) receiving 6mg/kg of the drug (i.p.), and a tocilizumab group (TCZ) receiving 8mg/kg of the drug (i.p.). The drug infusion was performed weekly. After 30 days of drug administration, behavioral tests were performed to assess the rats’ stress levels and memory. The performed behavioral tests were (1) the Elevated-plus maze test, (2) the Elevated-zero maze test and (3) the Olfactory social memory test. The results were analyzed using Oneway-ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests through SPSS 25.0. The MTX group spent significantly less time in the open arms of the mazes, compared to the CTRL group (P0.001) and the PLC group (p=0.05), and needed less time during the second encounter compared to the first, when assessed in the olfactory social memory test (p=0.002). The TCZ and INFL groups spent more time in the open areas of both mazes compared to PLC and MTX groups (p=0.033). Based on the results of this study, the administration of biologic agents improves stress levels and shows a potentially anxiolytic effect, without significantly affecting memory.

description: Technology evolution and the need for teaching modernization led to the design of virtual reality applications in medical education. The current study aims to create an interactive environment by using three-dimensional (3D) models of the human arterial system. 3D arterial models allow undergraduate medical students to easily memorize main arterial branching pattern after intra-arterial navigation. The students have the ability by using the application for enjoyable interaction during navigation for learning process and continue or repeat the intra-arterial navigation. The study compares two students’ groups by using the criterion whether or not they have followed the anatomy of the arterial system course and were successfully examined to it. The results showed no difference in experience in the evaluation of virtual reality application between the two groups, as well as no gender differences. Digital applications, although complex, offer great advantages, such as learning without jeopardizing human body and the possibility of multiple repetitions, that allows students fully understand the educational subject.

Dynamical parton distributions and weak-gauge and Higgs boson production at hadron colliders at NNLO of QCD

description: We determine at NNLO (3-loop) of QCD the dynamical parton distributions of the nucleon generated radiatively from valencelike positive input distributions at an optimally chosen low resolution scale (Q_0^2<1 GeV^2) by employing the "fixed flavor number factorization scheme" (FFNS). These are compared with "standard" NNLO distributions, generated at some fixed and higher resolution scale (Q_0^2>1 GeV^2). The NNLO corrections imply in both approaches an improved value of χ^2, typically χ^2_{NNLO} \sim 0.9χ^2_{NLO}. The dynamical NNLO uncertainties are somewhat smaller than the NLO ones and both are, as expected, smaller than those of their "standard" counterparts. The dynamical predictions for F_L(x,Q^2) become perturbatively stable already at Q^2 = 2 - 3 GeV^2, where precision measurements could even delineate NNLO effects in the very small-x region. Using these NNLO dynamical parton distributions in the FFNS as input, we generate radiatively parton distributions in the "variable flavor number factorization scheme" (VFNS) as well, where also the heavy quark flavors (c,b,t) become massless partons within the nucleon. Only within the VFNS are NNLO calculations feasible at present, since the required partonic subprocesses are available only in the approximation of massless initial-state partons. The NNLO predictions for gauge boson production are typically larger (by more than 1 sigma) than the NLO ones, and rates at LHC energies can be predicted with an accuracy of about 5%, whereas at Tevatron they are more than 2 sigma above the NLO ones. The NNLO predictions for SM Higgs boson production via the dominant gluon fusion process have a total (PDFs and scale) uncertainty of about 10% at LHC which almost doubles at the lower Tevatron energies; these predictions are typically about 20% larger than the ones at NLO but the total uncertainty bands overlap.

On the detection, localization and repair of client-side JavaScript faults

Year: 2016

description: With web application usage becoming ubiquitous, there is greater demand for making such applications more reliable. This is especially true as more users rely on web applications to conduct day-to-day tasks, and more companies rely on these applications to drive their business. Since the advent of Web 2.0, developers often implement much of the web application’s functionality at the client-side, using client-side JavaScript. Unfortunately, despite repeated complaints from developers about confusing aspects of the JavaScript language, little work has been done analyzing the language’s reliability characteristics. With this problem in mind, we conducted an empirical study of real-world JavaScript bugs, with the goal of understanding their root cause and impact. We found that most of these bugs are DOM-related, which means they occur as a result of the JavaScript code’s interaction with the Document Object Model (DOM). Having gained a thorough understanding of JavaScript bugs, we designed techniques for automatically detecting, localizing and repairing these bugs. Our localization and repair techniques are implemented as the AutoFLox and Vejovis tools, respectively, and they target bugs that are DOM-related. In addition, our detection techniques – Aurebesh and Holocron – attempt to find inconsistencies that occur in web applications written using JavaScript Model-View-Controller (MVC) frameworks. Based on our experimental evaluations, we found that these tools are highly accurate, and are capable of finding and fixing bugs in real-world web applications.

description: Um dos princípios da governança pública é a transparência, que tem por escopo o fortalecimento do acesso da sociedade às informações quanto aos atos praticados pela administração pública. As informações devem ser publicizadas pelos órgãos públicos de forma inteligível, garantindo o amplo acesso da população a elas. Este artigo tem como objetivo relatar o uso das redes sociais pelos municípios que compõem a microrregião de Uberaba, Minas Gerais, e quais as características de suas publicações. Esta microrregião é composta pelos municípios de Água Comprida, Campo Florido, Conceição das Alagoas, Conquista, Delta, Uberaba, Veríssimo. Por meio de uma pesquisa quantitativa e de levantamento, obteve-se dados acerca do uso da rede pelos municípios, bem como o teor das publicações. Os posts foram categorizados em oito categoriais, quais sejam, educação, esporte, eventos culturais, notificação de tributos, obras públicas, saneamento básico, saúde e outros. Os resultados demonstram que a publicação dos atos da administração pública por meio de redes sociais aproxima a comunidade e a gestão do município, porém os conteúdos das publicações estão mais voltados aos interesses políticos que os da sociedade.

IBSEAD: - A Self-Evolving Self-Obsessed Learning Algorithm for Machine Learning
Creators: name: Dundas, Jitesh
name: Chik, David
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We present IBSEAD or distributed autonomous entity systems based Interaction - a learning algorithm for the computer to self-evolve in a self-obsessed manner. This learning algorithm will present the computer to look at the internal and external environment in series of independent entities, which will interact with each other, with and/or without knowledge of the computer's brain. When a learning algorithm interacts, it does so by detecting and understanding the entities in the human algorithm. However, the problem with this approach is that the algorithm does not consider the interaction of the third party or unknown entities, which may be interacting with each other. These unknown entities in their interaction with the non-computer entities make an effect in the environment that influences the information and the behaviour of the computer brain. Such details and the ability to process the dynamic and unsettling nature of these interactions are absent in the current learning algorithm such as the decision tree learning algorithm. IBSEAD is able to evaluate and consider such algorithms and thus give us a better accuracy in simulation of the highly evolved nature of the human brain. Processes such as dreams, imagination and novelty, that exist in humans are not fully simulated by the existing learning algorithms. Also, Hidden Markov models (HMM) are useful in finding "hidden" entities, which may be known or unknown. However, this model fails to consider the case of unknown entities which maybe unclear or unknown. IBSEAD is better because it considers three types of entities- known, unknown and invisible. We present our case with a comparison of existing algorithms in known environments and cases and present the results of the experiments using dry run of the simulated runs of the existing machine learning algorithms versus IBSEAD.

Pompe disease: genetics and management

Subjects: pompe disease; glycogenosis type II; acid maltase deficiency; acid α-glucosidase; enzyme replacement therapy; immune tolerance induction

description: Pompe disease (PD) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by partial or complete deficiency of the lysosomal hydrolase acid alpha-glucosidase, resulting in accumulation of glycogen in various tissues. It affects primarily the skeletal, smooth muscle and cardiac system. Pompe disease clinically presents as a continuum in its age of onset and multisystem involvement and is often fatal. Diagnosis can be difficult due to nonspecific phenotype of the disease. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is the standard treatment for the disease since 2006. Although of considerable clinical benefit to some patients, there are significant limitations to ERT. Studies in novel therapeutic approaches show positive outcomes. In the context of therapeutic options, the earliest diagnosis and initiation of treatment can make a difference. Early identification through newborn screening and more effective therapies will hopefully lead to improved outcomes for patients with Pompe Disease.

Electron Correlations in Bilayer Graphene

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The nature of electron correlations in bilayer graphene has been investigated. An analytic expression for the radial distribution function is derived for an ideal electron gas and the corresponding static structure factor is evaluated. We also estimate the interaction energy of this system. In particular, the functional form of the pair-correlation function was found to be almost insensitive to the electron density in the experimentally accessible range. The inter-layer bias potential also has a negligible effect on the pair-correlation function. Our results offer valuable insights into the general behavior of the correlated systems and serve as an essential starting-point for investigation of the fully-interacting system.

description: Like any physical structure, school facilities age and diminish over time. Without proper maintenance and planning, school facilities may become obsolete, and fail to meet the needs of their students. Local school bond elections finance facilities construction and renovation. Local voters approve or reject bond referendums in a democratic process that demands adequate communication and leadership from the school superintendent. In order to pass bond elections that will improve district facilities, superintendents must be able to effectively communicate to a diverse array of stakeholders. In a bond election, the communication skills of the superintendent can make or break the outcome of the bond proposal, and the obstacles superintendents confront during a bond election are often best addressed with adequate communication. Current research reveals that superintendent communication is important in a bond election. But which superintendent communication skills matter the most? Which superintendent communication skills do stakeholders identify as the most crucial for bond passage? What challenges does a superintendent face during a bond election, and how are those challenges addressed with effective communication? The existing literature has yet to answer these crucial questions. This research study will identify the superintendent communication skills needed to pass a bond election in a small East Texas school district. The research will also analyze the challenges a superintendent confronts during a school bond election, and the manner in which a superintendent’s communication helps overcome those challenges. The research will employ a interpretivist epistemology that values participant experience and a single case study method that seeks to fully understand a single bond election. By informing superintendents of the communication skills necessary to pass a bond election, as well as the challenges that effective communication overcomes, the research hopes to improve the practice of the superintendency.
Measurement of the nuclear modification factor of electrons from heavy-flavour decays at mid-rapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV with ALICE

description: We present results on inclusive electrons for 1.5 $ < p_{\rm T} < $ 6 GeV/$c$ in {Pb-Pb} collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV measured with ALICE at the LHC and compare these to a cocktail of background electron sources. The excess of electrons beyond the cocktail at high momenta ({$p_{\rm T} >$ 3.5 GeV/$c$}) is attributed to electrons from heavy-flavour decays. The corresponding nuclear modification factor indicates heavy-flavour suppression by a factor of 1.5-4.
