description: Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) and eQTL analyses have produced a large and growing number of genetic associations linked to a wide range of human phenotypes. As of 2013, there were more than 11,000 SNPs associated with a trait as reported in the NHGRI GWAS Catalog. However, interpreting the functional roles played by these SNPs remains a challenge. Here we describe an approach that uses the inherent bipartite structure of eQTL networks to place SNPs into a functional context. Using genotyping and gene expression data from 163 lung tissue samples in a study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) we calculated eQTL associations between SNPs and genes and cast significant associations (FDR $< 0.1$) as links in a bipartite network. To our surprise, we discovered that the highly-connected "hub" SNPs within the network were devoid of disease-associations. However, within the network we identified 35 highly modular communities, which comprise groups of SNPs associated with groups of genes; 13 of these communities were significantly enriched for distinct biological functions (P $ < 5 \times 10^{-4}$) including COPD-related functions. Further, we found that GWAS-significant SNPs were enriched at the cores of these communities, including previously identified GWAS associations for COPD, asthma, and pulmonary function, among others. These results speak to our intuition: rather than single SNPs influencing single genes, we see groups of SNPs associated with the expression of families of functionally related genes and that disease SNPs are associated with the perturbation of those functions. These methods are not limited in their application to COPD and can be used in the analysis of a wide variety of disease processes and other phenotypic traits.

description: In recent years, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown remarkable results in the image domain. However, most of the neural networks in action recognition do not have very deep layer compared with the CNN in the image domain. This thesis presents a 3D Densely Connected Convolutional Network (3D-DenseNet) for action recognition that can have more than 100 layers without exhibiting performance degradation or overfitting. Our network expands Densely Connected Convolutional Networks (DenseNet) [32] to 3D-DenseNet by adding the temporal dimension to all internal convolution and pooling layers. The internal layers of our model are connected with each other in a feed-forward fashion. In each layer, the feature-maps of all preceding layers are concatenated along the last dimension and are used as inputs to all subsequent layers. We propose two different versions of 3D-DenseNets: general 3D-DenseNet and lite 3D-DenseNet. While general 3D-DenseNet has the same architecture as DenseNet, lite 3D-DenseNet adds a 3D pooling layer right after the first 3D convolution layer of general 3D-DenseNet to reduce the number of training parameters at the beginning so that we can reach a deeper network. We test on two action datasets: the MERL shopping dataset [69] and the KTH dataset [63]. Our experiment results demonstrate that our method performs better than the state-of-the-art action recognition method on the MERL shopping dataset and achieves a competitive result on the KTH dataset.

description: We construct and study the space C(\R^d,n) of all partitions of \R^d into n non-empty open convex regions (n-partitions). A representation on the upper hemisphere of an n-sphere is used to obtain a metric and thus a topology on this space. We show that the space of partitions into possibly empty regions C(\R^d,\le n) yields a compactification with respect to this metric. We also describe faces and face lattices, combinatorial types, and adjacency graphs for $n$-partitions, and use these concepts to show that C(\R^d,n) is a union of elementary semialgebraic sets.

The effects of limb load on muscle activity during isolated reflex testing and walking post-stroke
Creators: name: Hardee, Amy W.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: Gait impairments are common after stroke, and are most often characterized by difficulty flexing the leg during swing phase. Limb load, or the weight born through the leg, can influence extensor muscle excitability and may be responsible for this `stiff-legged gait pattern'. We hypothesized that there would be a direct relationship between limb load mediated knee extensor excitability during an isolated setting and during late stance/early swing of gait. Nine subjects had electromyography and kinematics recorded during walking with 0, 20, and 40% body weight support. I also collected quadriceps reflex excitability with and without an imposed limb load in an isolated setting. No significant relationship was observed between limb load and quadriceps muscle activity during reflex testing or walking. Limb load did not influence quadriceps activity suggesting that limb load sensors, which are believed to reside in the plantarflexor muscles, may act locally rather than globally throughout the limb.
Common Origin of Power-law Tails in Income Distributions and Relativistic Gases

Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Power-law tails are ubiquitous in income distributions and in the energy distributions of diluted relativistic gases. We analyze the conceptual link between these two cases. In economic interactions fat tails arise because the richest individuals enact some protection mechanisms ("saving propensity") which allow them to put at stake, in their interactions, only a small part of their wealth. In high-energy particle collisions something similar happens, in the sense that when particles with very large energy collide with slow particles, then as a sole consequence of relativistic kinematics (mass dilation), they tend to exchange only a small part of their energy; processes like the frontal collision of two identical particles, where the exchanged energy is 100%, are very improbable, at least in a diluted gas. We thus show how in two completely different systems, one of socio-economic nature and one of physical nature, a certain feature of the binary microscopic interactions leads to the same consequence in the macroscopic distribution for the income or respectively for the energy.

Testing Foundations of Biological Scaling Theory Using Automated Measurements of Vascular Networks

description: Scientists have long sought to understand how vascular networks supply blood and oxygen to cells throughout the body. Recent work focuses on principles that constrain how vessel size changes through branching generations from the aorta to capillaries and uses scaling exponents to quantify these changes. Prominent scaling theories predict that combinations of these exponents explain how metabolic, growth, and other biological rates vary with body size. Nevertheless, direct measurements of individual vessel segments have been limited because existing techniques for measuring vasculature are invasive, time consuming, and technically difficult. We developed software that extracts the length, radius, and connectivity of in vivo vessels from contrast-enhanced 3D Magnetic Resonance Angiography. Using data from 20 human subjects, we calculated scaling exponents by four methods--two derived from local properties of branching junctions and two from whole-network properties. Although these methods are often used interchangeably in the literature, we do not find general agreement between these methods, particularly for vessel lengths. Measurements for length of vessels also diverge from theoretical values, but those for radius show stronger agreement. Our results demonstrate that vascular network models cannot ignore certain complexities of real vascular systems and indicate the need to discover new principles regarding vessel lengths.

Entropic Effects of Thermal Rippling on van der Waals Interactions between Monolayer Graphene and a Rigid Substrate

description: Graphene monolayer, with extremely low flexural stiffness, displays spontaneous rippling due to thermal fluctuations at a finite temperature. When a graphene membrane is placed on a solid substrate, the adhesive interactions between graphene and the substrate could considerably suppress thermal rippling. On the other hand, the statistical nature of thermal rippling adds an entropic contribution to the graphene-substrate interactions. In this paper we present a statistical mechanics analysis on thermal rippling of monolayer graphene supported on a rigid substrate, assuming a generic form of van der Waals interactions between graphene and substrate at T = 0 K. The rippling amplitude, the equilibrium average separation, and the average interaction energy are predicted simultaneously and compared with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. While the amplitude of thermal rippling is reduced by adhesive interactions, the entropic contribution leads to an effective repulsion. As a result, the equilibrium average separation increases and the effective adhesion energy decreases with increasing temperature. Moreover, the effect of a biaxial pre-strain in graphene is considered, and a buckling instability is predicted at a critical compressive strain that depends on both the temperature and the adhesive interactions. Limited by the harmonic approximations, the theoretical predictions agree with MD simulations only for relatively small rippling amplitudes but can be extended to account for the anharmonic effects.

description: This volume contains the proceedings of the Tenth International Workshop on Fixed Points in Computer Science (FICS 2015) which took place on September 11th and 12th, 2015 in Berlin, Germany, as a satellite event of the conference Computer Science Logic (CSL 2015). Fixed points play a fundamental role in several areas of computer science. They are used to justify (co)recursive definitions and associated reasoning techniques. The construction and properties of fixed points have been investigated in many different settings such as: design and implementation of programming languages, logics, verification, databases. The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers to present their results to those members of the computer science and logic communities who study or apply the theory of fixed points. Each of the 11 contributed papers of this volume were evaluated by three or four reviewers. Some of the papers were re-reviewed after revision. Additionally, this volume contains the abstracts of the FICS 2015 invited talks given by Bartek Klin and James Worrell.

description: We provide new branched covering representations for bounded and/or non-compact 4-manifolds, which extend the known ones for closed 4-manifolds. Assuming $M$ to be a connected oriented PL 4-manifold, our main results are the following: (1) if $M$ is compact with (possibly empty) boundary, there exists a simple branched cover $p:M \to S^4 - \mathop{\mathrm{Int}}(B^4_1 \cup \dots \cup B^4_n)$, where the $B^4_i$'s are disjoint PL 4-balls, $n \geq 0$ is the number of boundary components of $M$; (2) if $M$ is open, there exists a simple branched cover $p : M \to S^4 - \mathop{\mathrm{End}} M$, where $\mathop{\mathrm{End}} M$ is the end space of $M$ tamely embedded in $S^4$. In both cases, the degree $d(p)$ and the branching set $B_p$ of $p$ can be assumed to satisfy one of these conditions: (1) $d(p)=4$ and $B_p$ is a properly self-transversally immersed locally flat PL surface; (2) $d(p)=5$ and $B_p$ is a properly embedded locally flat PL surface. In the compact (resp. open) case, by relaxing the assumption on the degree we can have $B^4$ (resp. $R^4$) as the base of the covering. We also define the notion of branched covering between topological manifolds, which extends the usual one in the PL category. In this setting, as an interesting consequence of the above results, we prove that any closed oriented topological 4-manifold is a 4-fold branched covering of $S^4$. According to almost-smoothability of 4-manifolds, this branched cover could be wild at a single point.

description: This article assesses the prospects for new directions in Saudi foreign policy following the appointment of Muhammad ibn Salman as crown prince in June 2017, highlighting its continuities and discontinuities under the new leadership of King Salman and his son. It draws tentative conclusions that amidst a series of foreign policy failures, winning the favour of the US under Trump has been the major achievement of the new Saudi leadership. However, Saudi foreign policy in Europe has taken a back seat, where there are serious doubts as to the merit of the assertive interventionist Saudi regional policy. With an erratic and failing bid to control the region and emerge as a regional power on a par with Iran, Turkey and Israel, King Salman and his son have proved to be unwilling to extinguish the many fires that are currently raging across the Arab world.

description: Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification is a hot topic in the remote sensing community. This paper proposes a new framework of spectral-spatial feature extraction for HSI classification, in which for the first time the concept of deep learning is introduced. Specifically, the model of autoencoder is exploited in our framework to extract various kinds of features. First we verify the eligibility of autoencoder by following classical spectral information based classification and use autoencoders with different depth to classify hyperspectral image. Further in the proposed framework, we combine PCA on spectral dimension and autoencoder on the other two spatial dimensions to extract spectral-spatial information for classification. The experimental results show that this framework achieves the highest classification accuracy among all methods, and outperforms classical classifiers such as SVM and PCA-based SVM.

description: We study the asymptotic behavior of random simply generated noncrossing planar trees in the space of compact subsets of the unit disk, equipped with the Hausdorff distance. Their distributional limits are obtained by triangulating at random the faces of stable laminations, which are random compact subsets of the unit disk made of non-intersecting chords coded by stable Lévy processes. We also study other ways to "fill-in" the faces of stable laminations, which leads us to introduce the iteration of laminations and of trees.

description: Pixelvision der Firma Fisher-Prize war als explizites low-tech-Videosystem für Kinder konzipiert, bevor die amerikanische Künstlerin Sadie Benning Ende der 1980er Jahre ihren ersten Videofilm mit der PXL-2000 (so der Produktname dieser Spielzeugkamera) produzierte. Die Kamera war ein kommerzieller Misserfolg und Fisher Price stellte ihre Produktion nach nur einem Jahr wieder ein. In einer Zeit perfektionierter Videobilder, hochauflösender Fernsehstandards und ‚verlustfreier’ Computerbilder entdeckten in den 1990er Jahren immer mehr Künstler und Künstlerinnen den Reiz der pixeligen Bilder in Schwarz-Weiß, deren Bildauflösung von nur 100 Zeilen den normalen Fernsehstandard von rund 600 Zeilen um ein Vielfaches unterschreitet. Neben den Videos von Sadie Benning, die Fragen von Queerness und Gender unter autobiographischem Blickwinkel verhandeln, stellt mein Beitrag auch Another Girl, Another Planet (USA 1992) von Michael Almereyda zur Diskussion, einen experimentellen Kurzspielfilm, der die ästhetischen Qualitäten von Pixelvision mit der Thematik des Sich-Erinnerns in Verbindung bringt. Am Beispiel dieser case studies soll die Rolle obsoleter Medientechnologien in zeitgenössischen Kunstpraktiken untersucht, der besonderen Materialität und Textur von Pixelvision Rechnung getragen und Fragen der Temporalität verhandelt werden.

Noise, Agency, and the Sound of Obsolete Technology
Creators: name: Birtwistle, Andy
Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2017

description: In a recently published collection on materiality in art Petra Lange-Berndt asks, “what does it mean to give agency to the material, to follow the material and to act with the material” (2015:13). My article attempts to consider this question, focusing on the work of a number of musicians and composers who have chosen to engage creatively with the sounds produced by obsolete – or near obsolete – technologies of sound recording and reproduction. Every sound technology has the capacity to generate as well reproduce sound: in the case of the wax cylinder or shellac disc, surface noise is generated by physical contact between the recording medium and the needle/stylus, and with magnetic tape noise is created by the oxides used to make the tape. We might think of these sounds as the sound of technology itself – a sounding of each medium’s material and technological bases. Historically these sounds have usually been treated a problem, and successive waves of technological innovation have been directed at removing or repressing the sound of technology. Thus the move from shellac to vinyl, the development of Dolby noise reduction, and the broader the shift from analogue to digital technology, have all been partly motivated by a desire to silence the medium itself. But what happens if we choose to work with these sounds rather than repress them; and following Lange-Berndt’s prompt, what would this change in attitude mean? My aim in this article is to consider what the political potential of the sound of technology might be, explored through a discussion of works by Walter Ruttmann and John Oswald. The well-established discourses around the political potential of noise in the arts have tended to construct it as a form of attack: as Jacques Attali states, “Noise is a weapon” (1985: 24). But might there be other ways in which we could consider the political dimensions of noise, and if so, how might issues of materiality and agency within play though an alternative approach to the politics of noise? In addressing these questions, my article examines the historical and temporal dynamics at work in the sound of technology. Here I argue that the temporal displacement we witness in the contemporary use of past technologies results in an intensification and re-energisation of the various forms of noise. For the artist working with archive material or obsolete sound recording and playback equipment, temporal displacement of this sort materialises the sound of technology – materializing or rematerialising the sounds with which they work - and in so doing releases forms of potentiality that can be understood in political terms.

description: Images have a life cycle that is material, social, and imaginative. Their trajectories are especially evident in the work of Arab media artists. Like others in places where official image archives are difficult to access, value glitch, error, and loss of resolution not only for their own aesthetic interest but also as indications of the labor of love required to access the past. Analog demagnetization and lossy digital compression; glitch, error, and artifacts introduced by compression; and layers of formatting draw attention to the trajectories and life cycles of images. Rania Stephan, Mohammad Allam, Riad Yassin, Roy Dib, and other Arab media artists painstakingly amass VHS collections of popular movies and TV shows, in archives that augment in care while they diminish in quality. Other artists including Akram Zaatari, Sophia Al-Maria, and Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige draw attention to the new meanings that attach to anonymous images as they travel online, finally to be embraced by the recipient.

description: Most publicly available image quality databases have been created under highly controlled conditions by introducing graded simulated distortions onto high-quality photographs. However, images captured using typical real-world mobile camera devices are usually afflicted by complex mixtures of multiple distortions, which are not necessarily well-modeled by the synthetic distortions found in existing databases. The originators of existing legacy databases usually conducted human psychometric studies to obtain statistically meaningful sets of human opinion scores on images in a stringently controlled visual environment, resulting in small data collections relative to other kinds of image analysis databases. Towards overcoming these limitations, we designed and created a new database that we call the LIVE In the Wild Image Quality Challenge Database, which contains widely diverse authentic image distortions on a large number of images captured using a representative variety of modern mobile devices. We also designed and implemented a new online crowdsourcing system, which we have used to conduct a very large-scale, multi-month image quality assessment subjective study. Our database consists of over 350000 opinion scores on 1162 images evaluated by over 7000 unique human observers. Despite the lack of control over the experimental environments of the numerous study participants, we demonstrate excellent internal consistency of the subjective dataset. We also evaluate several top-performing blind Image Quality Assessment algorithms on it and present insights on how mixtures of distortions challenge both end users as well as automatic perceptual quality prediction models.

Tit-for-Tat: The Effect of Miscommunication on Language Processing Effort and Decision Making Complexity
Creators: name: Roche, Jennifer
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework

Subjects: subject: miscommunication; pragmatics; communication; reciprocity; communication effort

description: Momentary miscommunication, when left unresolved, may lead to long-lasting effects that negatively impact communication. One of the major factors behind miscommunications is ambiguity, which might arise, e.g., due to different perspectives of the speaker and the listener, or as a result of misinformation of the listener by the speaker. Here we report two studies investigating how the type of ambiguity affects listeners' willingness to comprehend a confusing speaker. Both studies used a mouse and eye-tracking paradigm to evaluate listener processing effort and decision making during an unresolvable miscommunication task, in which the participants were presented with pre-recorded ambiguous instructions from a pseudo-confederate. Our results indicated that participants behave reciprocally in conversation: the type of ambiguity affected the effort they exerted when listening to a confusing speaker. Furthermore, eye dwell time analysis revealed that less processing effort was exerted when no salient visual cue was presented to recruit attentional resources. However, when an environmental cue was presented that made the miscommunication salient (i.e., in the form of interference or a perspective taking cue), listeners put forth more processing effort. Moreover, we show that perspective taking and decision making complexity metrics are positively related to increases in language processing effort -- indicating that instances of miscommunication produced cognitive consequences of indecision, thinking, and cognitive pull. Overall, this work provides an important step into evaluating the impact of miscommunication on language use and understanding.

Blasen zum Sprechen bringen. Zur Edition von Bettina van Haaren
Creators: name: Christadler, Maike
Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2016

description: In her linocut Blasenschieben (pushing bubbles) Bettina van Haaren succeeds in opening up a huge field of associations and visual puns that bring together metaphors of bodily interiors and confinements, of affects and communication. Her cut/line excises feelings of lust and abjection, of gravity and humour out of the blank page. Bettina van Haarens work represents in the image of the bubble the all encompassing fear of failure (to communicate, to express oneself, to live up to expectations) that is always also linked to fascination (for the alluring process of creating that results in overcoming your fears). In art history's tradition and in the actual exposition policy „failure“ is quite a big issue. The promise that lies in it, is one of getting a new chance, of starting all over again. And not to get stuck within the ruins of a failure requires the energy of the promise that creativity is an instrument to take the distances from yourself, to become conscious – and so to overcome fear and failure.

The politics of irresponsibility and anti-semitism of the Rural People's Movement in Schleswig-Holstein, 1928-1930
Creators: name: Gerolimatos, George C.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: An examination of an agrarian protest movement in northern Germany at the end of the 1920s allows us to realize that the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) did not have a monopoly on anti-Semitism in the political culture of the Weimar Republic. The Rural People's Movement in Schleswig-Holstein is taken as symptomatic of the crisis of legitimacy of democratic form of government whereby political activists sought to discredit the regime through politics divorced from reality yet effective for mobilization. The corollary of Nazi success at the local level is that important social groups in Germany failed to use democratic means and accept pluralism to alleviate the considerable social and economic stresses facing the country during the Great Depression. The surprising and unprecedented voter support for the NSDAP in the September 1930 Reichstag elections is partially explained by the mass desertion of constituencies from all major political parties followed by support for single-issue parties and non-affiliated movements like the Rural People's Movement.

Von Reitern und Scheitern - visuelle Ordnung, politische Figur und reiterliche Praxis in der Frühen Neuzeit
Creators: name: Schürch, Isabelle
Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2016

description: This paper explores the productive gap between riding as visual image of power and as a practical skill. By taking Sébastien Bourdon’s equestrian portrait of Queen Christina of Sweden as a starting point, I will try to set out the space for challenging (modern) presuppositions readily made about riding skills in pre-modern times. Christina of Sweden proves to be a case in point for a leading figure that used gendered visual imagery to create a complex compound of representational skills, practical competence and media knowledge. Riding, or rather the art of riding and horse-handling as culture equestre, became a most distinctive characteristic of early modern male nobility. Christina’s skilful deployment of contemporary political and visual means sets her off as what could be termed a female king. At the same time, riding was in Christina’s times surprisingly often the cause of severe accidents and untimely princely deaths. My argument is that these two dimensions of riding – as discursive and visual image of success on the one hand, and as practice competence prone to failure on the other hand – can be brought into fruitful tension.

Narrow imaginations: how narrowly imagining white employees can lead to biased hiring practices
Creators: name: Brown-Iannuzzi, Jazmin L.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: When people make important decision, such as selecting a job candidate or graduate applicant, they often begin by imagining the ideal candidate and evaluating applicants based on how well they fit with that imagined ideal. In two experiments we provided evidence that imagining the ideal has unintended consequences. Imagining an ideal candidate for a professional job led participants to preferentially imagine a White candidate (Experiment 1) and to preferentially hire a White candidate over a Black candidate with matched qualifications (Experiment 2). These effects were independent of explicit prejudice, suggesting that even low-prejudice individuals may be affected by this bias. However, an alternative imagery strategy - imagining a variety of suitable applicants - was effective at remediating the bias. In some cases discrimination may result not from prejudiced attitudes but from failures of the imagination.
Fortuna oder die Umstände von Erfolg und Scheitern in der politischen Theorie der Vormoderne
Creators: name: Becker, Anna
Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2016

description: This article argues that early modern political thinkers did not think about "success“ and "failure“ in modern terms of material well-being or as results of individual action and self-actualisation. Focusing on the thought of Niccolò Machiavelli and Jean Bodin, two key thinkers of the early modern period, the article shows that two aspects were central to early modern thinkers but that tend to be disregarded in modern debates. Early modern thinkers put considerably more emphasis on the role of fortune, the unruly force which controling human actions, human success and human failure. And they emphasised the central role of the common good as the benchmark against which success needed to be measured.
