description: The Zika virus (ZIKV) produced extensive outbreaks in the last decades including a large epidemic across Latin America (2015-2017). Due to Zika is trassmited for the same mosquito-vector of dengue diseases, both diseases coexist in the same areas. During the outbreak, the real magnitude of the epidemic was underestimated due to the high proportion of clinical mild cases and asymptomatic infections, and the similarity of its clinical manifestations with dengue. Another contributing factor was that confirmatory molecular testing (RT-PCR) is only useful during the first 5-7 days after the onset of the symptoms and is not widely available across regions.Population-based serosurveys provide an accurate prevalence estimator to understand the real magnitude of epidemics, however, in dengue-endemic regions, Zika seroprevalence estimations are difficult due to the extensive cross-reactivity of the elicited antibodies in both diseases. Studies of the first Zika epidemics used seroprevalence of IgG against the NS1 Zika protein using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). The commercial tests demonstrated high diagnostic performance in dengue non-endemic populations. As the Zika epidemic advanced in dengue-hyperendemic areas, most of these ELISA depicted low specificity. Other techniques are also affected, including neutralization tests, which is considered the gold standard test in flavivirus infections. Conversely, the ELISA based on the domain III of E protein (EDIII) reported higher specificity in flavivirus-endemic populations, although there are no commercially available anti-EDIII IgG ELISAs.Commercial ELISAs have important advantages in large sample size serosurveys, such as reproducibility, high throughput and low cost. We used MNT and anti-EDIII IgG ELISA to adjust the cutoff value of the commercial ELISA and correct for possible biases due to cross-reactive antibodies. This study is the supplementary material of the study conducted to describe the extension of the Zika outbreak in a dengue hyper-endemic municipality in southern Mexico

description: We report on hybrid memristive devices made of a network of gold nanoparticles (10 nm diameter) functionalized by tailored 3,4(ethylenedioxy)thiophene (TEDOT) molecules, deposited between two planar electrodes with nanometer and micrometer gaps (100 nm to 10 um apart), and electropolymerized in situ to form a monolayer film of conjugated polymer with embedded gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Electrical properties of these films exhibit two interesting behaviors: (i) a NDR (negative differential resistance) behavior with a peak/valley ratio up to 17, and (ii) a memory behavior with an ON/OFF current ratio of about 1E3 to 1E4. A careful study of the switching dynamics and programming voltage window is conducted demonstrating a non-volatile memory. The data retention of the ON and OFF states is stable (tested up to 24h), well controlled by the voltage and preserved when repeating the switching cycles (800 in this study). We demonstrate reconfigurable Boolean functions in multiterminal connected NP molecule devices.

description: Tip-streaming generates micron- and submicron- sized droplets when a thin thread pulled from the pointy end of a drop disintegrates. Here, we report streaming from the equator of a drop placed in a uniform electric field. The instability generates concentric fluid rings encircling the drop, which break up to form an array of microdroplets in the equatorial plane. We show that the streaming results from an interfacial instability at the stagnation line of the electrohydrodynamic flow, which creates a sharp rim. The flow draws from the rim a thin sheet which destabilizes and sheds fluid cylinders. This streaming phenomenon provides a new route for generating monodisperse microemulsions.

description: The four- and five-dimensional effective actions of Calabi-Yau threefold compactifications are derived with a focus on terms involving up to four space-time derivatives. The starting points for these reductions are the ten- and eleven-dimensional supergravity actions supplemented with the known eight-derivative corrections that have been inferred from Type II string amplitudes. The corrected background solutions are determined and the fluctuations of the Kahler structure of the compact space and the form-field background are discussed. It is concluded that the two-derivative effective actions for these fluctuations only takes the expected supergravity form if certain additional ten- and eleven-dimensional higher-derivative terms for the form-fields are included. The main results on the four-derivative terms include a detailed treatment of higher-derivative gravity coupled to Kahler structure deformations. This is supplemented by a derivation of the vector sector in reductions to five dimensions. While the general result is only given as an expansion in the fluctuations, a complete treatment of the one-Kahler modulus case is presented for both Type II theories and M-theory.

description: Turbulent spots surrounded by laminar flow are a landmark of transitional shear flows, but the dependence of their kinematic properties on spatial structure is poorly understood. We here investigate this dependence in pipe flow for Reynolds numbers between 1500 and 5000. We compute spatially localized relative periodic orbits in long pipes and show that their upstream and downstream fronts decay exponentially towards the laminar profile. This allows to model the fronts by employing the linearized Navier-Stokes equations, and the resulting model yields the spatial decay rate and the front velocity profiles of the periodic orbits as a function of Reynolds number, azimuthal wave number and propagation speed. In addition, when applied to a localized turbulent puff, the model is shown to accurately approximate the spatial decay rate of its upstream and downstream tails. Our study provides insight into the relationship between the kinematics and spatial structure of localized turbulence and more generally into the physics of localization.

description: In this paper, we propose a construction of non-binary WOM (Write-Once-Memory) codes for WOM storages such as flash memories. The WOM codes discussed in this paper are fixed rate WOM codes where messages in a fixed alphabet of size $M$ can be sequentially written in the WOM storage at least $t^*$-times. In this paper, a WOM storage is modeled by a state transition graph. The proposed construction has the following two features. First, it includes a systematic method to determine the encoding regions in the state transition graph. Second, the proposed construction includes a labeling method for states by using integer programming. Several novel WOM codes for $q$ level flash memories with 2 cells are constructed by the proposed construction. They achieve the worst numbers of writes $t^*$ that meet the known upper bound in many cases. In addition, we constructed fixed rate non-binary WOM codes with the capability to reduce ICI (inter cell interference) of flash cells. One of the advantages of the proposed construction is its flexibility. It can be applied to various storage devices, to various dimensions (i.e, number of cells), and various kind of additional constraints.

description: We study turbulent channel flows of monodisperse and polydisperse suspensions of finite-size spheres by means of Direct Numerical Simulations using an immersed boundary method to account for the dispersed phase. Suspensions with 3 different Gaussian distributions of particle radii are considered (i.e. 3 different standard deviations). The distributions are centered on the reference particle radius of the monodisperse suspension. In the most extreme case, the radius of the largest particles is 4 times that of the smaller particles. We consider two different solid volume fractions, 2% and 10%. We find that for all polydisperse cases, both fluid and particles statistics are not substantially altered with respect to those of the monodisperse case. Mean streamwise fluid and particle velocity profiles are almost perfectly overlapping. Slightly larger differences are found for particle velocity fluctuations. These increase close to the wall and decrease towards the centerline as the standard deviation of the distribution is increased. Hence, the behavior of the suspension is mostly governed by excluded volume effects regardless of particle size distribution (at least for the radii here studied). Due to turbulent mixing, particles are uniformly distributed across the channel. However, smaller particles can penetrate more into the viscous and buffer layer and velocity fluctuations are therein altered. Non trivial results are presented for particle-pair statistics.

description: A central result that arose in applying information theory to the stochastic thermodynamics of nonlinear dynamical systems is the Information-Processing Second Law (IPSL): the physical entropy of the universe can decrease if compensated by the Shannon-Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy change of appropriate information-carrying degrees of freedom. In particular, the asymptotic-rate IPSL precisely delineates the thermodynamic functioning of autonomous Maxwellian demons and information engines. How do these systems begin to function as engines, Landauer erasers, and error correctors? Here, we identify a minimal, inescapable transient dissipation engendered by physical information processing not captured by asymptotic rates, but critical to adaptive thermodynamic processes such as found in biological systems. A component of transient dissipation, we also identify an implementation-dependent cost that varies from one physical substrate to another for the same information processing task. Applying these results to producing structured patterns from a structureless information reservoir, we show that "retrodictive" generators achieve the minimal costs. The results establish the thermodynamic toll imposed by a physical system's structure as it comes to optimally transduce information.

Recurrent network dynamics modulate orientation tuning in primary visual cortex
Creators: name: Quiroga, Maria Del Mar
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Adaptation refers to the phenomenon that sensory neurons are affected not only by their immediate input, but also by the sequence of preceding inputs. In visual cortex, for example, neurons change their preferred orientation after exposure to an oriented stimulus. This adaptation is traditionally attributed to biophysical changes in the intrinsic properties of neurons and their connections to other neurons (i.e. ‘plasticity’). In this thesis, however, we propose that some effects of adaptation on neural responses instead reflect natural consequences of response dynamics in recurrent neural networks. In Chapter 2 we used computational modeling to show that recurrently connected neurons can be surprisingly slow to respond to changing environments, even when they have fast intrinsic dynamics. Consequently, adaptation effects on a time-scale of hundreds of milliseconds arose naturally in a recurrent model of sensory processing without plasticity. We showed that these adaptation effects match previously reported changes in orientation tuning in cat and monkey primary visual cortex. In addition, the model predicted a novel short-term change in orientation perception. In Chapter 3 we used quantitative psychophysics to test this prediction in human observers. These behavioral data provided additional support for the model. In Chapter 4 we explored the dynamics of neural responses to rapidly presented sequences of oriented gratings, using electrophysiological techniques to record the activity of neurons in primary visual cortex. We directly compared the recorded neural responses to the responses of the model presented in Chapter 2. We showed that some, but not all, of the changes in the response due to adaptation can be explained by recurrent connectivity within the network. We also compared the neural responses to a linear summation model proposed by Benucci et al. (2009). We found that the linear prediction failed to explain the dynamic responses, suggesting that non-linear, recurrent interactions make important contributions to the representation of orientation. Through the combination of computational, behavioral, and electrophysiological techniques, our work highlights the complexity of neural tuning properties that recurrent networks generate in dynamic sensory environments. Further, our work offers a path forward to measure and understand the complexity of recurrent neural networks in the alert brain.

description: Random scattering is usually viewed as a serious nuisance in optical imaging, and needs to be prevented in the conventional imaging scheme based on single-photon interference. Here we proposed a two-photon imaging scheme with the widely used lens replaced by a dynamic random medium. In contrast to destroying imaging process, the dynamic random medium in our scheme works as a crucial imaging element to bring constructive interference, and allows us to image an object from light field scattered by this dynamic random medium. On the one hand, our imaging scheme with incoherent two-photon illumination enables us to achieve super-resolution imaging with the resolution reaching Heisenberg limit. On the other hand, with coherent two-photon illumination, the image of a pure-phase object can be obtained in our imaging scheme. These results show new possibilities to overcome bottleneck of widely used single-photon imaging by developing imaging method based on multi-photon interference.

description: Revealed by the Wall Street Journal in 2019, the Nightingale Project was designed as an agreement between Google Health and the Ascension Healthcare Family to transfer patient data, without patient permission, from Ascension’s 2600 hospitals and clinics to Google for further data wrangling and to inform Google’s own significant healthcare inquiries. First viewed by independent advocates as a privacy nightmare and a further encroachment by Big Tech on individual liberties, it is the contention of this paper that, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Nightingale and similar projects may not go far enough in data-sharing, and should include cooperation across international borders. One possible method to ensure that exchange may be the creation of markets for healthcare data from across the globe.

description: Megathrust earthquakes impose changes of differential stress and pore pressure in the lithosphere‐asthenosphere system that are transiently relaxed during the postseismic period primarily due to afterslip, viscoelastic and poroelastic processes. Especially during the early postseismic phase, however, the relative contribution of these processes to the observed surface deformation is unclear. To investigate this, we use geodetic data collected in the first 48 days following the 2010 Maule earthquake and a poro‐viscoelastic forward model combined with an afterslip inversion. This model approach fits the geodetic data 14% better than a pure elastic model. Particularly near the region of maximum coseismic slip, the predicted surface poroelastic uplift pattern explains well the observations. If poroelasticity is neglected, the spatial afterslip distribution is locally altered by up to ±40%. Moreover, we find that shallow crustal aftershocks mostly occur in regions of increased postseismic pore‐pressure changes, indicating that both processes might be mechanically coupled.

description: Electronic properties and lattice vibrations are supposed to be strongly correlated in metal-halide perovskites, due to the "soft" fluctuating nature of their crystal lattice. Thus, unveiling electron-phonon coupling dynamics upon ultra-fast photoexcitation is necessary for understanding the optoelectronic behaviour of the semiconductor. Here, we use impulsive vibrational spectroscopy to reveal ground and excited state vibrational modes of methylammonium lead-bromide perovskite. We observe a coherent phonon at 106 cm-1 (13 meV), pertaining to the inorganic octahedral, which is peculiar of the electronic excited state and generated via displacive excitation mechanism. This indicates the formation of a new geometry, reached after a quarter of the phonon period T/4=80 fs, and fully equilibrated within the phonon lifetime of about 1 ps. Our observations unambiguously prove that this mode drives the crystalline distortion occurring upon carrier generation, implying the presence of polaronic effects.

description: We study the Furstenberg-entropy realization problem for stationary actions. It is shown that for finitely supported probability measures on free groups, any a-priori possible entropy value can be realized as the entropy of an ergodic stationary action. This generalizes results of Bowen. The stationary actions we construct arise via invariant random subgroups (IRSs), based on ideas of Bowen and Kaimanovich. We provide a general framework for constructing a continuum of ergodic IRSs for a discrete group under some algebraic conditions, which gives a continuum of entropy values. Our tools apply for example, for certain extensions of the group of finitely supported permutations and lamplighter groups, hence establishing full realization results for these groups. For the free group, we construct the IRSs via a geometric construction of subgroups, by describing their Schreier graphs. The analysis of the entropy of these spaces is obtained by studying the random walk on the appropriate Schreier graphs.

description: A computation-oriented representation of uncertain kinetic systems is introduced and analysed in this paper. It is assumed that the monomial coefficients of the ODEs belong to a polytopic set, which defines a set of dynamical systems for an uncertain model. An optimization-based computation model is proposed for the structural analysis of uncertain models. It is shown that the so-called dense realization containing the maximum number of reactions (directed edges) is computable in polynomial time, and it forms a super-structure among all the possible reaction graphs corresponding to an uncertain kinetic model, assuming a fixed set of complexes. The set of core reactions present in all reaction graphs of an uncertain model is also studied. Most importantly, an algorithm is proposed to compute all possible reaction graph structures for an uncertain kinetic model.

description: We explore a two component dark matter model with a fermion and a scalar. In this scenario the Standard Model (SM) is extended by a fermion, a scalar and an additional pseudo scalar. The fermionic component is assumed to have a global ${\rm U(1)}_{\rm DM}$ and interacts with the pseudo scalar via Yukawa interaction while a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry is imposed on the other component -- the scalar. These ensure the stability of both the dark matter components. Although the Lagrangian of the present model is CP conserving, however the CP symmetry breaks spontaneously when the pseudo scalar acquires a vacuum expectation value (VEV). The scalar component of the dark matter in the present model also develops a VEV on spontaneous breaking of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. Thus the various interactions of the dark sector and the SM sector are progressed through the mixing of the SM like Higgs boson, the pseudo scalar Higgs like boson and the singlet scalar boson. We show that the observed gamma ray excess from the Galactic Centre, self-interaction of dark matter from colliding clusters as well as the 3.55 keV X-ray line from Perseus, Andromeda etc. can be simultaneously explained in the present two component dark matter model.

description: To analyze the property of nuclear matter in the 16O+208Pb collision system, the internuclear potential of the fusion reaction is calculated by using the Skyrme forces associated with an extensive nuclear matter incompressibility K range in the semiclassical energy density formalism. Comparison of the experimental fusion cross sections and those obtained by using potentials derived from different forces with various K values shows that the incompressibility of nuclear matter changes during the fusion process at different bombarding energies. The results indicate that, as the energy increases, the nuclear matter becomes more incompressible.

description: The proximity-induced spin-triplet $f$-wave symmetry pairing in a monolayer molybdenum disulfide-superconductor hybrid features an interesting electron-hole excitations and also effective superconducting subgap, giving rise to a distinct Andreev resonance state. Owing to the complicated Fermi surface and momentum dependency of $f$-wave pair potential, monolayer $MoS_2$ with strong spin-orbit coupling can be considered an intriguing structure to reveal the superconducting state. Actually, this can be possible by calculating the peculiar spin-valley polarized transport of quasiparticles in a related normal metal/superconductor junction. We theoretically study the formation of effective gap at the interface and resulting normalized conductance on top of a $MoS_2$ under induction of $f$-wave order parameter, using Bloder-Tinkham-Klapwijk formalism. The superconducting excitations shows that the gap is renormalized by a \textit{bias limitation} coefficient including dynamical band parameters of monolayer $MoS_2$, especially, ones related to the Schrodinger-type momentum of Hamiltonian. The effective gap is more sensitive to the n-doping regime of superconductor region. The signature of spin-orbit coupling, topological and asymmetry mass-related terms in the resulting subgap conductance and, in particular, maximum conductance is presented. In the absence of topological term, the effective gap reaches to its maximum value. The unconventional nature of superconducting order leads to the appearance of zero-bias conductance. In addition, the maximum value of conductance can be controlled by tuning the doping level of normal and superconductor regions.

description: Magnetic dynamo action caused by the magnetorotational instability is studied in the shearing-box approximation with no imposed net magnetic flux. Consistent with recent studies, the dynamo action is found to be sensitive to the aspect ratio of the box: it is much easier to obtain in tall boxes (stretched in the direction normal to the disk plane) than in long boxes (stretched in the radial direction). Our direct numerical simulations indicate that the dynamo is possible in both cases, given a large enough magnetic Reynolds number. To explain the relatively larger effort required to obtain the dynamo action in a long box, we propose that the turbulent eddies caused by the instability most efficiently fold and mix the magnetic field lines in the radial direction. As a result, in the long box the scale of the generated strong azimuthal (stream-wise directed) magnetic field is always comparable to the scale of the turbulent eddies. In contrast, in the tall box the azimuthal magnetic flux spreads in the vertical direction over a distance exceeding the scale of the turbulent eddies. As a result, different vertical sections of the tall box are permeated by large-scale nonzero azimuthal magnetic fluxes, facilitating the instability. In agreement with this picture, the cases when the dynamo is efficient are characterized by a strong intermittency of the local azimuthal magnetic fluxes.

description: An arithmetic function $f$ is called a $sieve$ $function$ of $range$ $Q$ if its Eratosthenes transform $g=f\astμ$ has support in $[1,Q]$, where $g(q)\ll_{\varepsilon} q^{\varepsilon}$ ($\forall\varepsilon>0$). We continue our study of the distribution of such functions over short $arithmetic$ $bands$, $n\equiv ar+b\, (\bmod\,q)$, with $1\le a\le H=o(N)$ and $r,b$ integers such that g.c.d.$(r,q)=1$. In particular, we discuss the optimality of some results.

description: In this work, we expand upon our previous study, the effect of surface vibrations (low-lying vibrational states) on the calculation of penetration probability in alpha decay of spherical isotopes [Phys.Rev.C91,034611(2015)]. To this aim, the Coulomb and proximity potential model, taking in to account the ground state deformations of the involved nuclei along with the surface vibrations in the daughter nucleus, is used to evaluate the alpha decay probability. The results are compared with those obtained by spherical potential barrier, which shows the dramatic effect of employing the ground state deformations in case of deformed nuclei. As well, including of surface vibrations give rise to an increase in the value of tunneling probability in better agreement with experimental data.

description: Homological index of a holomorphic 1-form on a complex analytic variety with an isolated singular point is an analogue of the usual index of a 1-form on a non-singular manifold. One can say that it corresponds to the top Chern number of a manifold. We offer a definition of homological indices for collections of 1-forms on a (purely dimensional) complex analytic variety with an isolated singular point corresponding to other Chern numbers. We also define new invariants of germs of complex analytic varieties with isolated singular points related to "vanishing Chern numbers" at them.

The cognitive correlates of major depressive disorder and administration of SSRI antidepressants
Creators: name: Herzallah, Mohammad M.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: A significant barrier to interpreting past studies of cognition in major depressive disorder (MDD) has been the inadequate dissociation of cognitive changes due to MDD from the side effects of antidepressants used to treat MDD such as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs). The two most implicated brain regions in the pathophysiology of MDD are the basal ganglia (BG) and the hippocampus, which are also key areas for cognitive function. In this dissertation, we used cognitive assessment tools that selectively and sensitively evaluate BG and hippocampus function to tease apart the cognitive effects of MDD from those of SSRIs, and explore individual differences in cognitive function resulting from naturally occurring genetic variations. We studied two cognitive functions that have well-characterized neural bases informed by patient work and neuro-computational models: (1) Learning stimulus-response rules from positive and negative feedback, known to depend on the BG; and (2) Generalization of past stimulus-response learning to novel task demands and contexts, known to depend on the hippocampus. Investigating learning from positive and negative feedback revealed that MDD impaired learning from positive feedback in future SSRI-responders and non-responders, but spared learning from negative feedback only in SSRI-responders. SSRI administration, however, did not remediate the deficit in learning from positive feedback, but rather impaired learning from negative feedback in SSRI-responders, thereby bringing learning from positive and negative feedback into ‘balance’. Variations in dopamine levels reflected by naturally occurring genetic polymorphisms in the dopamine transporter gene modulated learning from positive feedback in both healthy and MDD states. Studying generalization of past learning revealed that MDD had no effect. However, SSRI-responders exhibited overgeneralization after SSRI administration. Overall, these findings define the cognitive profile of medication-naïve MDD and delineate the cognitive mechanism of action of SSRIs. Further, these results differentiate the cognitive profiles of SSRI responders and non-responders before and after treatment and highlight the cognitive effects of naturally occurring genetic variations. Clinical trials based on these findings could inform innovative individualized treatment protocols for MDD, guiding physician choices among antidepressants according to a patient’s individual cognitive and genetic profile upon initial diagnosis.
Neural mechanisms of actions of transcranial electrical stimulation

description: There is considerable evidence for clinical and behavioral efficacy of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES). The effects range from suppressing Parkinsonian tremors to augmenting human learning and memory. Despite widespread use, the neurobiological mechanisms of action of tES on the intact human brain are unclear. In the work presented in this thesis, I have taken a multi-methodological approach to probe tES mechanisms. First, I studied the electric field spread induced by the application of tES, behaviorally. Second, I examined the behavioral effects of tES on human motion perception. I observed that tES (10 Hz, 0.5 mA) applied over area hMT+ (a brain area specialized in processing visual motion) attenuates motion adaptation. This result led to the hypothesis that tES-induced membrane voltage modulations reduce adaptation in motion-selective neurons. Finally, I tested this hypothesis by directly measuring tES-induced neural activity changes in a homologous area in the macaque brain (area MT). Tuning curve estimates of macaque MT neurons showed that tES attenuated the effects of visual motion adaptation on tuning amplitude and width. In addition to single cell measures, tES also significantly modified the evoked local field potentials. The results provide novel insights into how tES interacts with neural activity and establishes the awake, behaving macaque as an in-vivo animal model to study tES mechanisms.
