description: The need for diverse chromosomal modifications in biotechnology, synthetic biology and basic research requires the development of new technologies. With CRISPR SWAPnDROP, we extend the limits of genome editing to large-scale in-vivo DNA transfer between bacterial species. Its modular platform approach facilitates species specific adaptation to confer genome editing in various species. In this study, we show the implementation of the CRISPR SWAPnDROP concept for the model organism Escherichia coli and the currently fastest growing and biotechnologically relevant organism Vibrio natriegens. We demonstrate the excision, transfer and integration of 151kb chromosomal DNA between E. coli strains and from E. coli to V. natriegens without size-limiting intermediate DNA extraction. With the transfer of the E. coli MG1655 wild type lac operon, we establish a functional lactose and galactose degradation pathway in V. natriegens to extend its biotechnological spectrum. We also transfer the E. coli DH5alpha lac operon and make V. natriegens capable of alpha-complementation - a step towards an ultra-fast cloning strain. Furthermore, CRISPR SWAPnDROP is designed to be the swiss army knife of genome engineering. Its spectrum of application comprises scarless, marker-free, iterative and parallel insertions and deletions, genome rearrangements, as well as gene transfer between strains and across species. The modular character facilitates DNA library applications and the recycling of standardized parts. Its novel multi-color scarless co-selection system significantly improves editing efficiency to 92% for single edits and 83% for quadruple edits and provides visual quality controls throughout the assembly and editing process.

Coping with qubit leakage in topological codes

Year: 2013

description: Many physical systems considered promising qubit candidates are not, in fact, two-level systems. Such systems can leak out of the preferred computational states, leading to errors on any qubits that interact with leaked qubits. Without specific methods of dealing with leakage, long-lived leakage can lead to time-correlated errors. We study the impact of such time-correlated errors on topological quantum error correction codes, which are considered highly practical codes, using the repetition code as a representative case study. We show that, under physically reasonable assumptions, a threshold error rate still exists, however performance is significantly degraded. We then describe simple additional quantum circuitry that, when included in the error detection cycle, restores performance to acceptable levels.

description: Prostate cancer is the second deadliest cancer for American men. While Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is increasingly used to guide targeted biopsies for prostate cancer diagnosis, its utility remains limited due to high rates of false positives and false negatives as well as low inter-reader agreements. Machine learning methods to detect and localize cancer on prostate MRI can help standardize radiologist interpretations. However, existing machine learning methods vary not only in model architecture, but also in the ground truth labeling strategies used for model training. In this study, we compare different labeling strategies, namely, pathology-confirmed radiologist labels, pathologist labels on whole-mount histopathology images, and lesion-level and pixel-level digital pathologist labels (previously validated deep learning algorithm on histopathology images to predict pixel-level Gleason patterns) on whole-mount histopathology images. We analyse the effects these labels have on the performance of the trained machine learning models. Our experiments show that (1) radiologist labels and models trained with them can miss cancers, or underestimate cancer extent, (2) digital pathologist labels and models trained with them have high concordance with pathologist labels, and (3) models trained with digital pathologist labels achieve the best performance in prostate cancer detection in two different cohorts with different disease distributions, irrespective of the model architecture used. Digital pathologist labels can reduce challenges associated with human annotations, including labor, time, inter- and intra-reader variability, and can help bridge the gap between prostate radiology and pathology by enabling the training of reliable machine learning models to detect and localize prostate cancer on MRI.

description: We derive criteria for the selection of datapoints used for data-driven reduced-order modeling and other areas of supervised learning based on Gaussian process regression (GPR). While this is a well-studied area in the fields of active learning and optimal experimental design, most criteria in the literature are empirical. Here we introduce an optimality condition for the selection of a new input defined as the minimizer of the distance between the approximated output probability density function (pdf) of the reduced-order model and the exact one. Given that the exact pdf is unknown, we define the selection criterion as the supremum over the unit sphere of the native Hilbert space for the GPR. The resulting selection criterion, however, has a form that is difficult to compute. We combine results from GPR theory and asymptotic analysis to derive a computable form of the defined optimality criterion that is valid in the limit of small predictive variance. The derived asymptotic form of the selection criterion leads to convergence of the GPR model that guarantees a balanced distribution of data resources between probable and large-deviation outputs, resulting in an effective way for sampling towards data-driven reduced-order modeling.

Excursion probability of Gaussian random fields on sphere

description: Let $X=\{X(x): x\in\mathbb{S}^N\}$ be a real-valued, centered Gaussian random field indexed on the $N$-dimensional unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^N$. Approximations to the excursion probability ${\mathbb{P}}\{\sup_{x\in\mathbb{S}^N}X(x)\ge u\}$, as $u\to\infty$, are obtained for two cases: (i) $X$ is locally isotropic and its sample functions are non-smooth and; (ii) $X$ is isotropic and its sample functions are twice differentiable. For case (i), the excursion probability can be studied by applying the results in Piterbarg (Asymptotic Methods in the Theory of Gaussian Processes and Fields (1996) Amer. Math. Soc.), Mikhaleva and Piterbarg (Theory Probab. Appl. 41 (1997) 367--379) and Chan and Lai (Ann. Probab. 34 (2006) 80--121). It is shown that the asymptotics of ${\mathbb{P}}\{\sup_{x\in\mathbb {S}^N}X(x)\ge u\}$ is similar to Pickands' approximation on the Euclidean space which involves Pickands' constant. For case (ii), we apply the expected Euler characteristic method to obtain a more precise approximation such that the error is super-exponentially small.

description: The Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal (Sgr) is a dissolving galaxy being tidally disrupted by the Milky Way (MW). Its stellar stream still poses serious modelling challenges, which hinders our ability to use it effectively as a probe of the MW gravitational potential. Our goal is to construct the best possible sample of stars with which we can advance our understanding of the Sgr-MW interaction, focusing on the characterisation of the bifurcations. We improve on previous methods based on the use of the wavelet transform to systematically search for the kinematic signature of the Sgr stream in the Gaia data. We refine our selection via the use of a clustering algorithm on the statistical properties of the colour-magnitude diagrams. Our final sample contains > 700k candidate stars, 3x larger than previous samples. We have been able to detect the bifurcation of the stream in both the northern and southern hemispheres, requiring four branches to fully describe this system. We present the detailed proper motion distribution of the trailing arm as a function of Lambda showing the presence of a sharp edge (on the side of the small proper motions) beyond which there are no Sgr stars. We also characterise the correlation between kinematics and distance. The chemical analysis of our sample shows a significant difference between the faint and bright branches. We provide analytical descriptions for the proper motion trends as well as for the sky distribution of the four branches of the stream. We interpret the bifurcations as the misaligned overlap of the material stripped at the antepenultimate pericentre (faint branches) with the stars ejected at the penultimate pericentre (bright branch). The source of this misalignment is still unknown but we argue that models with some internal rotation in the progenitor, at least during the time of stripping of the stars in the faint branches, are worth exploring.

description: A review of a recent theoretical investigation of the quantum transverse beam motion that has been developed in terms of a coupled system of nonlinear spinorial equations is carried out. This is done assuming that a relativistic electron/positron beam is traveling through a plasma along an external magnetic field in overdense condition. Three different nonliner regimes of this analysis are considered: the strictly local regime, where the beam spot size is much greater than the plasma wavelength (then, the spinorial system is reduced to a 2D cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation in the form of Gross-Pitaevskii equation); the moderately nonlocal regime where the beam spot size is comparable to the plasma wavelength; and, finally, the strongly nonlocal regime where the beam spot size is much smaller than the plasma wavelength. In all the cases the existence of quantum beam vortices and ring solitons is demonstrated both analytically and numerically.

description: The rapid growth of data volume brings big challenges to the data center computing, and energy efficiency is one of the most concerned problems. Researchers from various fields are now proposing solutions to green the data center operations. Power usage effectiveness metric plays an important role in the energy saving research. However, the exising usage effectiveness metrics focus on measuring the relationship between the total facility energy consumed and the IT equipment energy consumed, without reflecting the energy efficiency of applications. In this paper, we analyze the requirements of application-level metrics for power usage efficiency of the data centers, and propose two novel energy efficiency metrics to provide strong guidance and useful insight to data center design and optimization. We conduct comprehensive experiments in the practical data centers using BigDataBench, a big data benchmark suite, and the results demonstrate the rationality and efficiency of AxPUE in measuring the actual computation energy consumption in data centers.

description: The $Δ$-Self-Consistent-Field ($Δ$SCF) method has been established as an accurate and computationally efficient approach for calculating absolute core electron binding energies for light elements up to chlorine, but relatively little is known about the performance of this method for heavier elements. In this work, we present $Δ$SCF calculations of transition metal (TM) 2$p$ core electron binding energies for a series of 60 molecular compounds containing the first row transition metals Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe and Co. We find that the calculated TM 2$p_{3/2}$ binding energies are less accurate than the results for the lighter elements with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.73 eV compared to experimental gas phase photoelectron spectroscopy results. However, our results suggest that the error depends mostly on the element and is rather insensitive to the chemical environment. By applying an element-specific correction to the binding energies the MAE is reduced to 0.20 eV, similar to the accuracy obtained for the lighter elements.

description: Understanding the complex patterns in space-time exhibited by active systems has been the subject of much interest in recent times. Complementing this forward problem is the inverse problem of controlling active matter. Here we use optimal control theory to pose the problem of transporting a slender drop of an active fluid and determine the dynamical profile of the active stresses to move it with minimal viscous dissipation. By parametrizing the position and size of the drop using a low-order description based on lubrication theory, we uncover a natural ''gather-move-spread'' strategy that leads to an optimal bound on the maximum achievable displacement of the drop relative to its size. In the continuum setting, the competition between passive surface tension, and active controls generates richer behaviour with futile oscillations and complex drop morphologies that trade internal dissipation against the transport cost to select optimal strategies. Our work combines active hydrodynamics and optimal control in a tractable and interpretable framework, and begins to pave the way for the spatiotemporal manipulation of active matter.

Elimination of systemic risk in financial networks by means of a systemic risk transaction tax

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Risk Management (q-fin.RM)

description: Financial markets are exposed to systemic risk (SR), the risk that a major fraction of the system ceases to function, and collapses. It has recently become possible to quantify SR in terms of underlying financial networks where nodes represent financial institutions, and links capture the size and maturity of assets (loans), liabilities, and other obligations, such as derivatives. We demonstrate that it is possible to quantify the share of SR that individual liabilities within a financial network contribute to the overall SR. We use empirical data of nationwide interbank liabilities to show that the marginal contribution to overall SR of liabilities for a given size varies by a factor of a thousand. We propose a tax on individual transactions that is proportional to their marginal contribution to overall SR. If a transaction does not increase SR it is tax-free. With an agent-based model (CRISIS macro-financial model) we demonstrate that the proposed "Systemic Risk Tax" (SRT) leads to a self-organised restructuring of financial networks that are practically free of SR. The SRT can be seen as an insurance for the public against costs arising from cascading failure. ABM predictions are shown to be in remarkable agreement with the empirical data and can be used to understand the relation of credit risk and SR.

description: Relatively little is understood about the atmospheric composition of temperate to warm exoplanets (equilibrium temperature $T_{\rm eq}<$ 1000 K), as many of them are found to have uncharacteristically flat transmission spectra. Their flattened spectra are likely due to atmospheric opacity sources such as planet-wide photochemical hazes and condensation clouds. We compile the transmission spectra of 25 warm exoplanets previously observed by the Hubble Space Telescope and quantify the haziness of each exoplanet using a normalized amplitude of the water absorption feature ($A_{\rm H}$). By examining the relationships between $A_{\rm H}$ and various planetary and stellar forcing parameters, we endeavor to find correlations of haziness associated with planetary properties. We adopt new statistical correlation tests that are more suitable for the small, non-normally distributed warm exoplanet sample. Our analysis shows that none of the parameters hold statistically significant correlation with $A_{\rm H}$ ($p \le 0.01$) with the addition of new exoplanet data, including the previously identified linear trends between $A_{\rm H}$ and $T_{\rm{eq}}$ or hydrogen-helium envelope mass fraction (f$_{\rm{HHe}}$). This suggests that haziness in warm exoplanets is not simply controlled by any single planetary/stellar parameter. Among all the parameters we investigated, planet gravity ($g_{\rm p}$), atmospheric scale height ($H$), planet density ($ρ_{\rm p}$), orbital eccentricity ($e$), and age of the star ($t_{\rm age}$) hold tentative correlations with $A_{\rm H}$. Specifically, lower $H$, higher $g_{\rm p}$, $ρ_{\rm p}$, $e$, or $t_{\rm age}$ may lead to clearer atmospheres. We still need more observations and laboratory experiments to fully understand the complex physics and chemistry involved in creating hazy warm exoplanets.

description: Affinity maturation is crucial for improving the binding affinity of antibodies to antigens. This process is mainly driven by point substitutions caused by somatic hypermutations of the immunoglobulin gene. It also includes deletions and insertions of genomic material known as indels. While the landscape of point substitutions has been extensively studied, a detailed statistical description of indels is still lacking. Here we present a probabilistic inference tool to learn the statistics of indels from repertoire sequencing data, which overcomes the pitfalls and biases of standard annotation methods. The model includes antibody-specific maturation ages to account for variable mutational loads in the repertoire. After validation on synthetic data, we applied our tool to a large dataset of human immunoglobulin heavy chains. The inferred model allows us to identify universal statistical features of indels in heavy chains. We report distinct insertion and deletion hotspots, and show that the distribution of lengths of indels follows a geometric distribution, which puts constraints on future mechanistic models of the hypermutation process.

It is packaged as C++ code for Geant4 that implements said models, overriding the default model which does not account for certain complexities, such as the reduction in yields for nuclear recoils (NR) compared to electron recoils (ER). We present here improvements to the existing NEST models and updates to the code which make the package even more realistic and turn it into a more full-fledged Monte Carlo simulation. All available liquid xenon data on NR and ER to date have been taken into consideration in arriving at the current models. Furthermore, NEST addresses the question of the magnitude of the light and charge yields of nuclear recoils, including their electric field dependence, thereby shedding light on the possibility of detection or exclusion of a low-mass dark matter WIMP by liquid xenon detectors.

description: Widespread vaccination campaigns have changed the landscape for COVID-19, vastly altering symptoms and reducing morbidity and mortality. We estimate trends in mortality by month of admission and vaccination status among those hospitalised with COVID-19 in England between March 2020 to September 2021, controlling for demographic factors and hospital load. Among 259,727 hospitalised COVID-19 cases, 51,948 (20.0%) experienced mortality in hospital. Hospitalised fatality risk ranged from 40.3% (95% confidence interval 39.4-41.3%) in March 2020 to 8.1% (7.2-9.0%) in June 2021. Older individuals and those with multiple co-morbidities were more likely to die or else experienced longer stays prior to discharge. Compared to unvaccinated people, the hazard of hospitalised mortality was 0.71 (0.67-0.77) with a first vaccine dose, and 0.56 (0.52-0.61) with a second vaccine dose. Compared to hospital load at 0-20% of the busiest week, the hazard of hospitalised mortality during periods of peak load (90-100%), was 1.23 (1.12-1.34). The prognosis for people hospitalised with COVID-19 in England has varied substantially throughout the pandemic and according to case-mix, vaccination, and hospital load. Our estimates provide an indication for demands on hospital resources, and the relationship between hospital burden and outcomes.

description: In 1769, Alexander Dalrymple, still young in his career of schemes, acrimony and hard work, was recommending to the Court of Directors of the English East India Company the advantages to be gained by establishing a settlement in the island of Balambangan, off the north point of Borneo. … Two points only will be noted here: the voyaging of these renowned sailors to Australia is set in the context of their activity throughout the archipelago, and the fact that they do come to Australia occasions no surprise. These two comments can, in a general way be applied to virtually all the many descriptions of the industry left by those who observed it in operation over the next century and more. … However by the end of the century, enthusiasm for northern Australia had been tempered by repeated failures in the task of development. Interest was centred on those more favoured regions in the south where an ideology was being developed that would claim a whole continent for one people. … Today the position is changing as interest in the area slowly rekindles and as the work of the scholars who have concerned themselves with the area becomes more widely known. … One aim of this thesis is to consolidate, combine and in some matters extend the historical and ethnographical knowledge already available. .. It is no accident that the visit of Golson and Mulvaney to the Gove Peninsula in 1963, which marks the beginning of the present phase of work on the subject, was in conjunction with a proposed mining project.

description: Both pulsation and mass loss are commonly observed in stars and are important ingredients for understanding stellar evolution and structure, especially for massive stars. There is a growing body of evidence that pulsation can also drive and enhance mass loss in massive stars and that pulsation-driven mass loss is important for stellar evolution. In this review, I will discuss recent advances in understanding pulsation driven mass loss in massive main sequence stars, classical Cepheids and red supergiants and present some challenges remaining.

description: We develop a linearized boundary control method for the inverse boundary value problem of determining a potential in the acoustic wave equation from the Neumann-to-Dirichlet map. When the linearization is at the zero potential, we derive a reconstruction formula based on the boundary control method and prove that it is of Lipschitz-type stability. When the linearization is at a nonzero potential, we prove that the problem is of Hölder-type stability. The proposed reconstruction formula is implemented and evaluated using several numerical experiments to validate its feasibility.

description: Scalar diffraction calculations such as the angular spectrum method (ASM) and Fresnel diffraction, are widely used in the research fields of optics, X-rays, electron beams, and ultrasonics. It is possible to accelerate the calculation using fast Fourier transform (FFT); unfortunately, acceleration of the calculation of non-uniform sampled planes is limited due to the property of the FFT that imposes uniform sampling. In addition, it gives rise to wasteful sampling data if we calculate a plane having locally low and high spatial frequencies. In this paper, we developed non-uniform sampled ASM and Fresnel diffraction to improve the problem using the non-uniform FFT.

description: We investigate the potential of numerical algorithms to decipher the kinetic parameters involved in multi-step chemical reactions. To this end we study a dimerization kinetics of protein as a model system. We follow the dimerization kinetics using a stochastic simulation algorithm and combine it with three different optimization techniques (Genetic Algorithm, Simulated Annealing and Parallel Tempering) to obtain the rate constants involved in each reaction step. We find good convergence of the numerical scheme to the rate constants of the process. We also perform a sensitivity test on the reaction kinetic parameters to see the relative effects of the parameters for the associated profile of the monomer/dimer distribution.

A holographic calculation of the electric conductivity of the strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma near the deconfinement transition

description: The frequency dependent conductivity $σ(ω)$ of the strongly coupled Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) is estimated using a bottom up holographic model that can adequately describe recent lattice data for QCD thermodynamics at zero chemical potential. Different choices for the coupling between the bulk gauge field and the other bulk fields that define the background (the metric and a scalar field) are used in order to fit the lattice data for the electric charge susceptibility $χ_2^Q/T^2$. The ratio $σ_{DC}/T$ is found to vary near the deconfinement transition in a way that is similar to recent lattice results. This model is used to compute the charge diffusion coefficient $D$ of the strongly coupled plasma. We find that the dimensionless combination $DT$ has the same type of temperature dependence displayed by $σ_{DC}/T$ and, thus, charge diffusion is suppressed at low temperatures. The frequency dependent conductivity $σ(ω)$ reveals some nontrivial structure for values of the temperature near the phase transition. None of these structures appear in the associated Euclidean correlator, which we also compute. Our results suggest that the conformal invariance violation near the QCD deconfinement phase transition may be seen in the Euclidean correlator through a downward shift of its value at the minimum, which gives a rough estimate of the temperature dependence of the DC conductivity in the plasma.
