description: Non-Gaussian state-space models arise in several applications, and within this framework the binary time series setting provides a relevant example. However, unlike for Gaussian state-space models - where filtering, predictive and smoothing distributions are available in closed form - binary state-space models require approximations or sequential Monte Carlo strategies for inference and prediction. This is due to the apparent absence of conjugacy between the Gaussian states and the likelihood induced by the observation equation for the binary data. In this article we prove that the filtering, predictive and smoothing distributions in dynamic probit models with Gaussian state variables are, in fact, available and belong to a class of unified skew-normals (SUN) whose parameters can be updated recursively in time via analytical expressions. Also the key functionals of these distributions are, in principle, available, but their calculation requires the evaluation of multivariate Gaussian cumulative distribution functions. Leveraging SUN properties, we address this issue via novel Monte Carlo methods based on independent samples from the smoothing distribution, that can easily be adapted to the filtering and predictive case, thus improving state-of-the-art approximate and sequential Monte Carlo inference in small-to-moderate dimensional studies. Novel sequential Monte Carlo procedures that exploit the SUN properties are also developed to deal with online inference in high dimensions. Performance gains over competitors are outlined in a financial application.

description: Multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) is a fruitful and increasingly popular complement to traditional univariate methods of analyzing neuroimaging data. We propose to replace the standard 'decoding' approach to searchlight-based MVPA, measuring the performance of a classifier by its accuracy, with a method based on the multivariate form of the general linear model. Following the well-established methodology of multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), we define a measure that directly characterizes the structure of multi-voxel data, the pattern distinctness $D$. Our measure is related to standard multivariate statistics, but we apply cross-validation to obtain an unbiased estimate of its population value, independent of the amount of data or its partitioning into 'training' and 'test' sets. The estimate $\hat D$ can therefore serve not only as a test statistic, but as an interpretable measure of multivariate effect size. The pattern distinctness generalizes the Mahalanobis distance to an arbitrary number of classes, but also the case where there are no classes of trials because the design is described by parametric regressors. It is defined for arbitrary estimable contrasts, including main effects (pattern differences) and interactions (pattern changes). In this way, our approach makes the full analytical power of complex factorial designs known from univariate fMRI analyses available to MVPA studies. Moreover, we show how the results of a factorial analysis can be used to obtain a measure of pattern stability, the equivalent of 'cross-decoding'.
Wigner-Smith Time Delay Matrix for Electromagnetics: Systems with Material Dispersion and Losses

description: The Wigner-Smith (WS) time delay matrix relates a system's scattering matrix to its frequency derivative and gives rise to so-called WS modes that experience well-defined group delays when interacting with the system. For systems composed of nondispersive and lossless materials, the WS time delay matrix previously was shown to consist of volume integrals of energy-like densities plus correction terms that account for the guiding, scattering, or radiating characteristics of the system. This study extends the use of the WS time delay matrix to systems composed of dispersive and lossy materials. Specifically, it shows that such systems' WS time delay matrix can be expressed by augmenting the previously derived expressions with terms that account for the dispersive and lossy nature of the system, followed by a transformation that disentangles effects of losses from time delays. Analytical and numerical examples demonstrate the new formulation once again allows for the construction of frequency stable WS modes that experience well-defined group delays upon interacting with a system.

description: Background: Cervical Cancer (CC) exhibits highly complex genomic alterations. These include hemizygous deletions at 4p15.3, 10q24, 5q35, 3p12.3, and 11q24, the chromosomal sites of Slit-Robo pathway genes. However, no candidate tumor suppressor genes at these regions have been identified so far. Slit family of secreted proteins modulates chemokine-induced cell migration of distinct somatic cell types. Slit genes mediate their effect by binding to its receptor Roundabout (Robo). These genes have shown to be inactivated by promoter hypermethylation in a number of human cancers.

Results: To test whether Slit-Robo pathway genes are targets of inactivation at these sites of deletion, we examined promoter hypermethylation of SLIT1, SLIT2, SLIT3, ROBO1, and ROBO3 genes in invasive CC and its precursor lesions. We identified a high frequency of promoter hypermethylation in all the Slit-Robo genes resulting in down regulated gene expression in invasive CC, but the inhibitors of DNA methylation and histone deacetylases (HDACs) in CC cell lines failed to effectively reactivate the down-regulated expression. These results suggest a complex mechanism of inactivation in the Slit-Robo pathway in CC. By analysis of cervical precancerous lesions, we further show that promoter hypermethylation of Slit-Robo pathway occurs early in tumor progression.

Conclusion: Taken together, these findings suggest that epigenetic alterations of Slit-Robo pathway genes (i) play a role in CC development, (ii) further delineation of molecular basis of promoter methylation-mediated gene regulation provides a potential basis for epigenetic-based therapy in advanced stage CC, and (iii) form epigenetic signatures to identify precancerous lesions at risk to progression.

description: Spatial networks are networks where nodes are located in a space equipped with a metric. Typically, the space is two-dimensional and until recently and traditionally, the metric that was usually considered was the Euclidean distance. In spatial networks, the cost of a link depends on the edge length, i.e. the distance between the nodes that define the edge. Hypothesizing that there is pressure to reduce the length of the edges of a network requires a null model, e.g., a random layout of the vertices of the network. Here we investigate the properties of the distribution of the sum of edge lengths in random linear arrangement of vertices, that has many applications in different fields. A random linear arrangement consists of an ordering of the elements of the nodes of a network being all possible orderings equally likely. The distance between two vertices is one plus the number of intermediate vertices in the ordering. Compact formulae for the 1st and 2nd moments about zero as well as the variance of the sum of edge lengths are obtained for arbitrary graphs and trees. We also analyze the evolution of that variance in Erdos-Renyi graphs and its scaling in uniformly random trees. Various developments and applications for future research are suggested.

description: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the formation of amyloid plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles in cortical areas, leading to progressive memory loss and cognitive impairments, and it is the most common form of dementia. Intracerebroventricular injections of streptozotocin (ICV-STZ) have been used as an experimental model of sporadic AD (SAD) in rodents due to their ability to impair brain insulin signaling, induce oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and dysfunctions in neurogenesis, as well as cognitive decline, which are characteristic features of SAD. Chlorogenic Acid (CGA) and Caffeine (CAF), the main compounds found in coffee, have properties such as glucose metabolism modulation, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which have already been described. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of CGA and CAF on cognitive deficits, neuronal damage, and neuroinflammation in mice subjected to the experimental model of ICV-STZ-induced SAD. Male Swiss mice (25-35 g) received bilateral ICV-STZ (3 mg/kg, 1.5 µl) on days 1 and 3 of the experiment. Treatment with CGA (5 mg/kg, orally) and CAF (15 mg/kg, orally) or vehicle (water, orally) was administered for 26 days, starting 2 hours after the second induction procedure. Blood glucose levels of the animals were measured before and after the induction of SAD. The results demonstrated that there were no significant alterations in blood glucose levels. ICV-STZ caused deficits in aversive, recognition, and spatial memory. Treatment with CGA and CAF protected against deficits in aversive, recognition, and spatial memory. Locomotor activity, working memory, and anxiety-related parameters were not altered. ICV-STZ resulted in increased concentrations of nitrite/nitrate and MDA. Treatment with CGA and CAF protected against the increase in nitrite/nitrate and MDA concentrations in the cortex and hippocampus. Treatment with CGA and CAF protected against increased concentrations of nitrite/nitrate and MDA in the cortex and hippocampus. ICV-STZ caused a decrease in viable neurons, BDNF depletion and astrogliosis and microgliosis in the cortex and hippocampus. Treatment with CGA and CAF protected against decreased viable neurons and BDNF depletion and prevented astrogliosis and microgliosis in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Molecular docking analyses showed that CGA and CAF strongly interact with the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and insulin receptors (IRS-1). These results suggest that the neuroprotective activity of CGA and CAF is related to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuronal integrity maintenance properties, highlighting their therapeutic or adjuvant potential for the treatment of SAD.

description: In the last years, researchers have realized the difficulties of fitting power-law distributions properly. These difficulties are higher in Zipf's systems, due to the discreteness of the variables and to the existence of two representations for these systems, i.e., two versions about which is the random variable to fit. The discreteness implies that a power law in one of the representations is not a power law in the other, and vice versa. We generate synthetic power laws in both representations and apply a state-of-the-art fitting method (based on maximum-likelihood plus a goodness-of-fit test) for each of the two random variables. It is important to stress that the method does not fit the whole distribution, but the tail, understood as the part of a distribution above a cut-off that separates non-power-law behavior from power-law behavior. We find that, no matter which random variable is power-law distributed, the rank-size representation is not adequate for fitting, whereas the representation in terms of the distribution of sizes leads to the recovery of the simulated exponents, may be with some bias.

description: Complementarity, the incomplete nature of a quantum measurement - a core concept in quantum mechanics - stems from the choice of the measurement apparatus. The notion of complementarity is closely related to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, but the exact relation between the two remains a source of debate. For example, knowledge of a particle's position in a double slit interference experiment will quench its wave-like nature and, vice versa, observing the wave property via interference implies lack of knowledge of the particle's path. A canonical system for exploring complementarity is the quantum eraser (QE), predominantly studied thus far in photonic systems. A QE is an interference experiment consisting of two stages. First, one of the interfering paths is coupled to a 'which path' (WP) detector - demonstrating loss of interference due to acquisition of WP information. Second, the WP information is being 'erased' by projecting the detector's wavefunction on a particular basis; this renders the WP information inaccessible, thus allowing reconstruction of the interference pattern. In this work, we present a first implementation of a QE in an electronic system. Our system consists of two identical electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) entangled via Coulomb interactions. Such novel setup has already attracted a considerable theoretical attention. With one MZI serving as a path detector and the other as the system interferometer, the visibility of the Aharonov-Bohm oscillation in the System can be controlled by the Detector. We demonstrate how a continuous change of the measurement basis, followed by post selection (via cross correlation of current fluctuations), allows a smooth transition between keeping and erasing the WP information.

description: A simple but vitally important characteristic for Lego, is that all bricks should fit together with a consistent strength press fit.  While this is challenging enough, over the years this quality characteristic, among others, have had to be maintained under ever increasing production volumes.  In the attempt to deliver the desired quantity on time, many factors can affect the risk profile in a negative way. The risk of losing the overview of implemented changes and their consequences is high, leading to new/potential problems are not detected and known problems are not solved. The presentation will cover some of the initiatives and work processes, which are used to support a positive development in the process capability despite the growth, in order to deliver the right quality of the LEGO bricks.

description: It is by now well-established that there exist non-local games for which the best entanglement-assisted performance is not better than the best classical performance. Here we show in contrast that any two-player XOR game, for which the corresponding Bell inequality is tight, has a quantum advantage. In geometric terms, this means that any correlation Bell inequality for which the classical and quantum maximum values coincide, does not define a facet, i.e. a face of maximum dimension, of the local Bell polytope. Indeed, using semidefinite programming duality, we prove upper bounds on the dimension of these faces, bounding it far away from the maximum. In the special case of non-local computation games, it had been shown before that they are not facet-defining; our result generalises and improves this. As a by-product of our analysis, we find a similar upper bound on the dimension of the faces of the convex body of quantum correlation matrices, showing that (except for the trivial ones expressing the non-negativity of probability) it does not have facets.

The culmination of first generation LIGO detectors, Enhanced LIGO operated between 2009 and 2010 with about 40 kW of laser power in the arm cavities. In this regime, radiation pressure effects are significant and induce instabilities in the angular opto-mechanical transfer functions. Here we present and motivate the angular sensing and control (ASC) design in this extreme case and present the results of its implementation in Enhanced LIGO. Highlights of the ASC performance are: successful control of opto-mechanical torsional modes, relative mirror motions of 1x10^{-7} rad rms, and limited impact on in-band strain sensitivity.

description: Improving global health and agricultural development have been identified as two of the most important objectives in fighting global poverty. However, the two approaches come at development from different perspectives and can actually undermine each other in practice. Successful management of the competing demands of health and agriculture through organizations and technologies is crucial to advancing sustainable development. The turn toward local procurement of agricultural products in the administration of global food aid is evidence of attempts to bring these approaches together at the global scale, but has not delivered the promised benefits at the local level. This article presents a case study of a small Kenyan community based organization (CBO), Community Action for Rural Development (CARD), as it has attempted to negotiate between nutrition and agricultural development in global and local networks. Specifically, the case study addresses CARD’s experience with a small scale soya beans project as a part of a World Food Program (WFP) local procurement program and a transition toward developing a local soya bean project.

description: We present a new simple functional form to model the evolution of a spherical mass distribution in a cosmological context. Two parameters control the growth of the system and this is modelled using a redshift dependent exponential for the scale mass and scale radius. In this new model, systems form inside out and the mass of a given shell can be made to never decrease, as generally expected. This feature makes it more suitable for studying the smooth growth of galactic potentials or cosmological halos than other parametrizations often used in the literature. This is further confirmed through a comparison to the growth of dark matter halos in the Aquarius simulations.

Further, if the system is defined on the 2-sphere, we prove all such results even in presence of periodic (repelling) branch points.

description: InkSurvey is free, web-based software designed to facilitate the collection of real-time formative assessment. Using this tool, the instructor can embed formative assessment in the instruction process by posing an open-format question. Students equipped with pen-enabled mobile devices (tablet PCs, iPads, Android devices including some smartphones) are then actively engaged in their learning as they use digital ink to draw, sketch, or graph their responses. When the instructor receives these responses instantaneously, it provides insights into student thinking and what the students do and do not know. Subsequent instruction can then repair and refine student understanding in a very timely manner. Although this pedagogical tool is appealing because of its broad theoretical foundations, the cost of pen-enabled mobile technology was until recently a significant barrier to widely implementing this teaching model. However, less expensive tablets, iPads, and Android devices are now filling the market (and student backpacks) and greatly lowering that barrier. To illustrate the wide applicability of this use of technology, we report a series of seven vignettes featuring instructors of diverse subjects (mathematics, food chemistry, physics, biology, and chemical engineering), with students using diverse pen-enabled mobile devices (tablet PCs, iPads, and Android 4.0 tablets), in diverse educational environments (K-12, community college, publicly-funded engineering university, private university, graduate school), in two countries (United States and Mexico). In a companion paper, each instructor also shares some data, insights, and/or conclusions from their experiences regarding the effectiveness of this tool.

description: This paper was guided by the hypothesis that it is not exports per se that matter, but different export components influence growth differently. We considered a sample of 35 sub-Sahara African countries based on availability of data on the key variables. Aggregate data were obtained from the most recent World Bank‟s World Development Indicators and International Monetary Fund‟s International Finance Statistics online facilities. Disaggregated data on exports and imports were obtained from the United Nation‟s Statistical Database under Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) Revision 4. The Generalized Methods of Moments estimator was employed during the analysis. We find that it is the growth in agricultural exports, and not manufactured exports, that is significantly associated with per capita income growth in our sample. These countries should adopt policies that increase agricultural exports in the medium term as they design strategies for increasing manufactured exports in the long term. Other factors significantly influencing growth are gross capital formation, capital goods imports, infrastructure, government consumption, and inflation rate, political systems and governance, and education.

Using the large-scale national survey data (DLHS RCH-II, 2002-04 and 60th round National Sample Survey, 2004), the authors have selected socio-economic as well as demographic factors determining health treatment seeking behavior, in terms of availing services from public or private sources, which have been addressed with objectivity. Furthermore, selected states of India have been ranked on the basis of extent of inequality (in terms of economic status) in utilization of health services from public and private sources. The paper, in its totality, advocates for economically affordable and better quality health care services for the masses.

description: Photodisintegration is a main energy loss process for ultrahigh-energy cosmic-ray (UHECR) nuclei in intergalactic space. Therefore, it is crucial to understand systematic uncertainty in photodisintegration when simulating the propagation of UHECR nuclei. In this work, we calculated the cross sections using the random phase approximation (RPA) of density functional theory (DFT), a microscopic nuclear model. We calculated the $E1$ strength of 29 nuclei using three different density functionals. We obtained the cross sections of photonuclear reactions, including photodisintegration, with the $E1$ strength. Then, we implemented the cross sections in the cosmic-ray propagation code CRPropa. We found that assuming certain astrophysical parameter values, the difference between UHECR energy spectrum predictions using the RPA calculation and the default photodisintegration model in CRPropa can be more than the statistical uncertainty of the spectrum. We also found that the differences between the RPA calculations and CRPropa default in certain astrophysical parameters obtained by a combined fit of UHECR energy spectrum and composition data assuming a phenomenological model of UHECR sources can be more than the uncertainty of the data.

description: In a particle physics dynamics, we assume a uniform distribution as the physical measure and a measure-theoretic definition of entropy on the velocity configuration space. This distribution is labeled as the physical solution in the remainder of the article. The dynamics is governed by an assumption of a Lagrangian formulation, with the velocity time derivatives as the momenta conjugate to the velocity configurations. From these definitions and assumptions, we show mathematically that a maximum entropy production principle selects the physical measure from among alternate solutions of the Navier-Stokes and Euler equations, but its transformation to an Eulerian frame is not established here, a topic that will be considered separately.

description: We propose a scheme for optical entanglement distribution in quantum networks based on a quasi-deterministic entangled photon pair source. By combining heralded photonic Bell pair generation with spectral mode conversion to interface with quantum memories, the scheme eliminates switching losses due to multiplexing. We analyze this `zero-added-loss multiplexing' (ZALM) Bell pair source for the particularly challenging problem of long-baseline entanglement distribution via satellites and ground-based memories, where it unlocks additional advantages: (i) the substantially higher channel efficiency $η$ of \textit{downlinks} vs.\ \textit{uplinks} with realistic adaptive optics, and (ii) photon loss occurring \textit{before} interaction with the quantum memory -- i.e., Alice and Bob receiving rather than transmitting -- improve entanglement generation rate scaling by $\mathcal{O}(\sqrtη)$. Based on numerical analyses, we estimate our protocol to achieve $>$10$~$ebits/s at memory multiplexing of $10^2$ spin qubits for ground distance $>$10$^2~$km, with the spin-spin Bell state fidelity exceeding 99$\%$. Our architecture presents a blueprint for realizing global-scale quantum networks in the near-term.

description: After peripheral nerve injury, mature Schwann cells (SCs) de-differentiate and undergo cell reprogramming to convert into a specialized cell repair phenotype that promotes nerve regeneration. Reprogramming of SCs into the repair phenotype is tightly controlled at the genome level and includes downregulation of pro-myelinating genes and activation of nerve repair-associated genes. Nerve injuries induce not only biochemical but also mechanical changes in the tissue architecture which impact SCs. Recently, we showed that SCs mechanically sense the stiffness of the extracellular matrix and that SC mechanosensitivity modulates their morphology and migratory behavior. Here, we explore the expression levels of key transcription factors and myelin-associated genes in SCs, and the outgrowth of primary dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurites, in response to changes in the stiffness of generated matrices. The selected stiffness range matches the physiological conditions of both utilized cell types as determined in our previous investigations. We find that stiffer matrices induce upregulation of the expression of transcription factors Sox2, Oct6, and Krox20, and concomitantly reduce the expression of the repair-associated transcription factor c-Jun, suggesting a link between SC substrate mechanosensing and gene expression regulation. Likewise, DRG neurite outgrowth correlates with substrate stiffness. The remarkable intrinsic physiological plasticity of SCs, and the mechanosensitivity of SCs and neurites, may be exploited in the design of bioengineered scaffolds that promote nerve regeneration upon injury.

description: We analyze the HI absorption profile for TeV Supernova Remnant (SNR) G349.7+0.2 based on updated knowledge of the inner Galaxy's structure. We significantly revise its kinematic distance from the previous ~ 22 kpc to ~11.5 kpc, indicating it is in the far 3 kpc arm of the Galactic center. We give a revised age of ~ 1800 year for G349.7+0.2 which has a low explosion energy of ~ 2.5 x 10^50 ergs. This removes G349.7+0.2 from the set of brightest SNRs in radio, X-ray to gamma-ray wavebands and helps understand gamma-ray emission originating from this remnant better. However, one needs to use caution for old kinematic distances of Galactic objects (e.g. SNRs, Pulsars and HII regions) in the range of -12 degree =< l =< 12 degree and having distance estimates of >= 5.5 kpc.
