description: The soil is a rich ecosystem where many ecological interactions are mediated by small molecules, and in which amoebae are low-level predators and also prey. The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum has a high genomic potential for producing polyketides to mediate its ecological interactions, including the unique ‘Steely’ enzymes, consisting of a fusion between a fatty acid synthase and a chalcone synthase. We report here that D. discoideum further increases its polyketide potential by using the StlB Steely enzyme, and a downstream chlorinating enzyme, to make both a chlorinated signal molecule, DIF-1, during its multi-cellular development, and a set of abundant polyketides in terminally differentiated stalk cells. We identify one of these as a chlorinated dibenzofuran with potent anti-bacterial activity. To do this, StlB switches expression from prespore to stalk cells in late development and is cleaved to release the chalcone synthase domain. Expression of this domain alone in StlB null cells allows synthesis of the stalk-associated, chlorinated polyketides. Thus, by altered expression and processing of StlB, cells make first a signal molecule, and then abundant secondary metabolites, which we speculate help to protect the mature spores from bacterial infection.
A general framework for studying genetic effects and gene-environment interactions with missing data

description: Missing data arise in genetic association studies when genotypes are unknown or when haplotypes are of direct interest. We provide a general likelihood-based framework for making inference on genetic effects and gene–environment interactions with such missing data. We allow genetic and environmental variables to be correlated while leaving the distribution of environmental variables completely unspecified. We consider 3 major study designs—cross-sectional, case–control, and cohort designs—and construct appropriate likelihood functions for all common phenotypes (e.g. case–control status, quantitative traits, and potentially censored ages at onset of disease). The likelihood functions involve both finite- and infinite-dimensional parameters. The maximum likelihood estimators are shown to be consistent, asymptotically normal, and asymptotically efficient. Expectation–Maximization (EM) algorithms are developed to implement the corresponding inference procedures. Extensive simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed inferential and numerical methods perform well in practical settings. Illustration with a genome-wide association study of lung cancer is provided.

description: Microlocal defect functionals (H-measures, H-distributions, semiclassical measures, etc.) are objects which determine, in some sense, the lack of strong compactness for weakly convergent ${\rm L}^p$ sequences. Recently, Luc Tartar introduced one-scale H-measures, a generalisation of H-measures with a characteristic length, which also comprehend the notion of semiclassical measures. We present a self-contained introduction to one-scale H-measures, carrying out some alternative proofs, and strengthening some results, comparing these objects to known microlocal defect functionals. Furthermore, we improve and generalise Tartar's localisation principle for these objects from which we are able to derive the known localisation principles for both H-measures and semiclassical measures. Moreover, we develop a variant of compactness by compensation suitable for equations with a characteristic length.

description: A physics-based model for the prediction of wildfire propagation, which combines the cellular automata concept with virtual Lagrangian fire particles, is further developed to include fire extinction actions. Deposition of water and firebreaks are included in the formulation. The fire propagation model is then coupled with a Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithm to optimize the allocation of fire extinction actions. Starting from an ignited fire, and fixing the amount of resources available for firefighting, the model suggests which series of actions minimizes the loss of wildland. The model has been assessed and validated with model fires and then applied to a realistic scenario. MCTS optimization is found to autonomously outperform human intuition for medium-scale fires and to successfully enhance human decision-making capabilities for large-scale fires with the use of convolution-based terrain re-sampling. This study opens up new possibilities for the development of decision-making tools to assist the real-time allocation of firefighting resources as well as to support the design of preventive measures to preserve the environment and reduce the potential impact of wildfires.

description: Bandeen-Roche and Liang (2002, Modelling multivariate failure time associations in the presence of a competing risk. Biometrika 89, 299–314.) tailored Oakes (1989, Bivariate survival models induced by frailties. Journal of the American Statistical Association 84, 487–493.)'s conditional hazard ratio to evaluate cause-specific associations in bivariate competing risks data. In many population-based family studies, one observes complex multivariate competing risks data, where the family sizes may be > 2, certain marginals may be exchangeable, and there may be multiple correlated relative pairs having a given pairwise association. Methods for bivariate competing risks data are inadequate in these settings. We show that the rank correlation estimator of Bandeen-Roche and Liang (2002) extends naturally to general clustered family structures. Consistency, asymptotic normality, and variance estimation are easily obtained with U-statistic theories. A natural by-product is an easily implemented test for constancy of the association over different time regions. In the Cache County Study on Memory in Aging, familial associations in dementia onset are of interest, accounting for death prior to dementia. The proposed methods using all available data suggest attenuation in dementia associations at later ages, which had been somewhat obscured in earlier analyses.

description: If there is a "platonic world" M of mathematical facts, what does M contain precisely? I observe that if M is too large, it is uninteresting, because the value is in the selection, not in the totality; if it is smaller and interesting, it is not independent from us. Both alternatives challenge mathematical platonism. I suggest that the universality of our mathematics may be a prejudice hiding its contingency, and illustrate contingent aspects of classical geometry, arithmetic and linear algebra.

We apply it to the FLRW spacetime and find that due to the quantum fluctuations a bounce universe can be obtained and a decelerated expansion can also possibly be obtained in a dark energy dominated epoch. We also discuss the effects of quantum fluctuations on inflation parameters (such as slow-roll parameters, spectral index, and the spectrum of the primordial curvature perturbation) and find values of parameters in the comparing the predictions of inflation can also work to drive the current epoch of acceleration. We obtain the constraints on the parameter of the theory from the observation of the big bang nucleosynthesis.

Assessing the dependence of sensitivity and specificity on prevalence in meta-analysis

description: We consider modeling the dependence of sensitivity and specificity on the disease prevalence in diagnostic accuracy studies. Many meta-analyses compare test accuracy across studies and fail to incorporate the possible connection between the accuracy measures and the prevalence. We propose a Pearson type correlation coefficient and an estimating equation–based regression framework to help understand such a practical dependence. The results we derive may then be used to better interpret the results from meta-analyses. In the biomedical examples analyzed in this paper, the diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers are shown to be associated with prevalence, providing insights into the utility of these biomarkers in low- and high-prevalence populations.

Originally developed for planar curves, these methods have been expanded to higher dimensional curves, surfaces, activities, character motions and many other objects. In this paper, we develop a framework for shape analysis of curves in Lie groups for problems of computer animations. In particular, we will use these methods to find cyclic approximations of non-cyclic character animations and interpolate between existing animations to generate new ones.

description: Two-stage design has long been recognized to be a cost-effective way for conducting biomedical studies. In many trials, auxiliary covariate information may also be available, and it is of interest to exploit these auxiliary data to improve the efficiency of inferences. In this paper, we propose a 2-stage design with continuous outcome where the second-stage data is sampled with an “outcome-auxiliary-dependent sampling” (OADS) scheme. We propose an estimator which is the maximizer for an estimated likelihood function. We show that the proposed estimator is consistent and asymptotically normally distributed. The simulation study indicates that greater study efficiency gains can be achieved under the proposed 2-stage OADS design by utilizing the auxiliary covariate information when compared with other alternative sampling schemes. We illustrate the proposed method by analyzing a data set from an environmental epidemiologic study.

description: Semiparametric transformation models provide a very general framework for studying the effects of (possibly time-dependent) covariates on survival time and recurrent event times. Assessing the adequacy of these models is an important task because model misspecification affects the validity of inference and the accuracy of prediction. In this paper, we introduce appropriate time-dependent residuals for these models and consider the cumulative sums of the residuals. Under the assumed model, the cumulative sum processes converge weakly to zero-mean Gaussian processes whose distributions can be approximated through Monte Carlo simulation. These results enable one to assess, both graphically and numerically, how unusual the observed residual patterns are in reference to their null distributions. The residual patterns can also be used to determine the nature of model misspecification. Extensive simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed methods perform well in practical situations. Three medical studies are provided for illustrations.
Competing risks regression for clustered data

description: A population average regression model is proposed to assess the marginal effects of covariates on the cumulative incidence function when there is dependence across individuals within a cluster in the competing risks setting. This method extends the Fine–Gray proportional hazards model for the subdistribution to situations, where individuals within a cluster may be correlated due to unobserved shared factors. Estimators of the regression parameters in the marginal model are developed under an independence working assumption where the correlation across individuals within a cluster is completely unspecified. The estimators are consistent and asymptotically normal, and variance estimation may be achieved without specifying the form of the dependence across individuals. A simulation study evidences that the inferential procedures perform well with realistic sample sizes. The practical utility of the methods is illustrated with data from the European Bone Marrow Transplant Registry.
Mixed effect regression analysis for a cluster-based two-stage outcome-auxiliary-dependent sampling design with a continuous outcome
Creators: name: Zhou, Haibo
name: Xu, Wangli
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Two-stage design is a well-known cost-effective way for conducting biomedical studies when the exposure variable is expensive or difficult to measure. Recent research development further allowed one or both stages of the two-stage design to be outcome dependent on a continuous outcome variable. This outcome-dependent sampling feature enables further efficiency gain in parameter estimation and overall cost reduction of the study (e.g. Wang, X. and Zhou, H., 2010. Design and inference for cancer biomarker study with an outcome and auxiliary-dependent subsampling. Biometrics 66, 502–511; Zhou, H., Song, R., Wu, Y. and Qin, J., 2011. Statistical inference for a two-stage outcome-dependent sampling design with a continuous outcome. Biometrics 67, 194–202). In this paper, we develop a semiparametric mixed effect regression model for data from a two-stage design where the second-stage data are sampled with an outcome-auxiliary-dependent sample (OADS) scheme. Our method allows the cluster- or center-effects of the study subjects to be accounted for. We propose an estimated likelihood function to estimate the regression parameters. Simulation study indicates that greater study efficiency gains can be achieved under the proposed two-stage OADS design with center-effects when compared with other alternative sampling schemes. We illustrate the proposed method by analyzing a dataset from the Collaborative Perinatal Project.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: With development of massively parallel sequencing technologies, there is a substantial need for developing powerful rare variant association tests. Common approaches include burden and non-burden tests. Burden tests assume all rare variants in the target region have effects on the phenotype in the same direction and of similar magnitude. The recently proposed sequence kernel association test (SKAT) (Wu, M. C., and others, 2011. Rare-variant association testing for sequencing data with the SKAT. The American Journal of Human Genetics 89, 82–93], an extension of the C-alpha test (Neale, B. M., and others, 2011. Testing for an unusual distribution of rare variants. PLoS Genetics 7, 161–165], provides a robust test that is particularly powerful in the presence of protective and deleterious variants and null variants, but is less powerful than burden tests when a large number of variants in a region are causal and in the same direction. As the underlying biological mechanisms are unknown in practice and vary from one gene to another across the genome, it is of substantial practical interest to develop a test that is optimal for both scenarios. In this paper, we propose a class of tests that include burden tests and SKAT as special cases, and derive an optimal test within this class that maximizes power. We show that this optimal test outperforms burden tests and SKAT in a wide range of scenarios. The results are illustrated using simulation studies and triglyceride data from the Dallas Heart Study. In addition, we have derived sample size/power calculation formula for SKAT with a new family of kernels to facilitate designing new sequence association studies.

description: Resampling-based expression pathway analysis techniques have been shown to preserve type I error rates, in contrast to simple gene-list approaches that implicitly assume the independence of genes in ranked lists. However, resampling is intensive in computation time and memory requirements. We describe accurate analytic approximations to permutations of score statistics, including novel approaches for Pearson's correlation, and summed score statistics, that have good performance for even relatively small sample sizes. Our approach preserves the essence of permutation pathway analysis, but with greatly reduced computation. Extensions for inclusion of covariates and censored data are described, and we test the performance of our procedures using simulations based on real datasets. These approaches have been implemented in the new R package safeExpress.

description: In the case-cohort studies conducted within the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, it is of interest to assess and compare the effect of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) on the increased risks of incident coronary heart disease and incident ischemic stroke. Empirical cumulative hazards functions for different levels of hs-CRP reveal an additive structure for the risks for each disease outcome. Additionally, we are interested in estimating the difference in the risk for the different hs-CRP groups. Motivated by this, we consider fitting marginal additive hazards regression models for case-cohort studies with multiple disease outcomes. We consider a weighted estimating equations approach for the estimation of model parameters. The asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators are derived and their finite-sample properties are assessed via simulation studies. The proposed method is applied to analyze the ARIC Study.

description: Phosphorene has been rediscovered recently, establishing itself as one of the most promising two dimensional group-V elemental monolayers with direct band gap, high carrier mobility, and anisotropic electronic properties. In this letter, the buckling and its effect on the electronic properties in phosphorene are investigated by using molecular dynamics simulations and complemented by density functional theory calculations. We find that phosphorene shows superior out-of-plane structural flexibility along the armchair direction, which allows the formation of buckling with large curvatures, while the buckling along the zigzag direction will break its structure integrity at large curvatures. The semiconducting and direct band gap nature are retained with buckling along the armchair direction; the band gap decreases and transforms to an indirect band gap with buckling along the zigzag direction. The structural flexibility and electronic robustness along the armchair direction facilitate the fabrication of devices with complex shapes, such as folded phosphorene and phosphorene nano-scrolls, thereby offering new possibilities for the application of phosphorene in flexible electronics and optoelectronics.

description: In this paper, we extend the definitions of the net reclassification improvement (NRI) and the integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) in the context of multicategory classification. Both measures were proposed in Pencina and others (2008. Evaluating the added predictive ability of a new marker: from area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to reclassification and beyond. Statistics in Medicine 27, 157–172) as numeric characterizations of accuracy improvement for binary diagnostic tests and were shown to have certain advantage over analyses based on ROC curves or other regression approaches. Estimation and inference procedures for the multiclass NRI and IDI are provided in this paper along with necessary asymptotic distributional results. Simulations are conducted to study the finite-sample properties of the proposed estimators. Two medical examples are considered to illustrate our methodology.

description: Motivated by the need from our on-going environmental study in the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort (MoBa) study, we consider an outcome-dependent sampling (ODS) scheme for failure-time data with censoring. Like the case-cohort design, the ODS design enriches the observed sample by selectively including certain failure subjects. We present an estimated maximum semiparametric empirical likelihood estimation (EMSELE) under the proportional hazards model framework. The asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator were derived. Simulation studies were conducted to evaluate the small-sample performance of our proposed method. Our analyses show that the proposed estimator and design is more efficient than the current default approach and other competing approaches. Applying the proposed approach with the data set from the MoBa study, we found a significant effect of an environmental contaminant on fecundability.

description: This research investigated the economic impacts resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to the arboriculture/commercial urban forestry (ACUF) industry through a survey that was administered to practitioners – arborists and commercial urban foresters – throughout the New England states (Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine) of the United States of America (USA). The responses by this sample of ACUF firms indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic period was one of strong income and employment growth for the industry fuelled in part by increased demand by private homeowners. This period saw growth for the ACUF industry, but firms from this sample also faced many of the same difficulties that other industries faced in relation to securing the labour they needed, as well as increases in costs related to wages, salaries, and health insurance. Whether these increases are short-term phenomena or longer-term shifts for the ACUF industry remains an important research question. Analysis of this segment of the broader “green industry” enables stakeholders and interested parties to educate legislators, regulatory decision-makers, and others about the importance of the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to the ACUF sector.

Online QoS Modeling in the Cloud: A Hybrid and Adaptive Multi-Learners Approach

description: Given the on-demand nature of cloud computing, managing cloud-based services requires accurate modeling for the correlation between their Quality of Service (QoS) and cloud configurations/resources. The resulted models need to cope with the dynamic fluctuation of QoS sensitivity and interference. However, existing QoS modeling in the cloud are limited in terms of both accuracy and applicability due to their static and semi- dynamic nature. In this paper, we present a fully dynamic multi- learners approach for automated and online QoS modeling in the cloud. We contribute to a hybrid learners solution, which improves accuracy while keeping model complexity adequate. To determine the inputs of QoS model at runtime, we partition the inputs space into two sub-spaces, each of which applies different symmetric uncertainty based selection techniques, and we then combine the sub-spaces results. The learners are also adaptive; they simultaneously allow several machine learning algorithms to model QoS function and dynamically select the best model for prediction on the fly. We experimentally evaluate our models using RUBiS benchmark and realistic FIFA 98 workload. The results show that our multi-learners approach is more accurate and effective in contrast to the other state-of-the-art approaches.

Time arrow is influenced by the dark energy

description: The arrow of time and the accelerated expansion are two fundamental empirical facts of the Universe. We advance the viewpoint that the dark energy (positive cosmological constant) accelerating the expansion of the Universe also supports the time asymmetry. It is related to the decay of meta-stable states under generic perturbations, as we show on example of a microcanonical ensemble. These states will not be meta-stable without dark energy. The latter also ensures a hyperbolic motion leading to dynamic entropy production with the rate determined by the cosmological constant.

Cycling for service: understanding how service-learning combined with endurance-based activities enhances prosocial behavior amongst young adults
Creators: name: Rossi, Gabrielle
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Literature suggests that prosocial behaviors can be both formally and informally learned through service-learning and endurance-based activities (EBA), respectively. However, there have seldom been studies examining the effect of interactions between service-learning and EBA on prosocial behaviors. Thus, the purpose of this study is to gain insight into whether prosocial behaviors might be enhanced when service-learning is combined with EBA–particularly among young adult college students. In this sense, the study is intended to provide an understanding of whether, what I refer to as, physical endurance-based service-learning (PEB-SL) in higher education might act to enhance (or attenuate) prosocial behaviors in students. I define PEB-SL as academic instruction with either a volunteer or donation component and including a fitness/endurance challenge. PEB-SL bridges the gap between the measured positive effects of physical activity with the measured positive effects of volunteerism and philanthropy. This qualitative comparative case study explores the merits of PEB-SL by focusing on the work of three organizations that promote volunteerism and philanthropy through facilitation of cross-country bike rides: The Dream Project, Bike & Build, and 4k for Cancer. Each of these organizations hosts cross-country bike rides for young adults who commit to raising a certain amount of money and volunteering a certain amount of hours for a particular cause.In the study, I present and analyze qualitative data regarding students' understanding of, attitude toward, and future intentions regarding prosocial behaviors after participating in a cross-country bike ride initiative sponsored by one of these three organizations during the 2021-2022 academic year. Interviews with participants were conducted three to six months prior to when participants left for their respective trips, right after they returned from their respective trips, and six months after they returned from their respective trips. Utilizing a longitudinal approach helps to ascertain the potency of these experiences after the initial enthusiasm of the trip diminishes and participants return to their daily lives.

Detection of protein-protein interactions using nonimmune IgG and BirA-mediated biotinylation

description: Detection of protein-protein interactions in cells is crucial for understanding the biological functions of proteins, including their roles in signal transduction. However, current methods require specific antibodies both for immunoprecipitation and detection, making them expensive and sometimes unreliable. Here we describe protocols for protein-protein interaction assays that use nonimmune IgG-conjugated Sepharose to precipitate the IgG binding domain (ZZ) fused to the bait protein; the interaction partner is fused to Avitag and biotinylated by BirA so that it can be detected by a one-step blot with Dylight 680 streptavidin to detect the Avitag fusion protein. Since this method does not require specific antibodies and is inexpensive, sensitive, and reliable, it should be useful for detecting protein-protein interactions in cells.
