description: The GO ontology is widely used for functional annotation of genes and proteins. It describes biological processes (BP), molecular function (MF), and cellular components (CC) in three distinct hierarchical controlled vocabularies. At the molecular level, functions are often performed by highly conserved parts of proteins, identified by sequence or structure alignments and classified into domains or families (SCOP, CATH, PFAM, TIGRFAMs, etc.). The InterPro database provides a valuable integrated classification of protein sequences and domains which is linked to nearly all existing other classifications. Interestingly, several InterPro families have been manually annotated with GO terms using expert knowledge and the literature. However, the list of such annotations is incomplete (only 20% of Pfam domains and families possess MF GO functional annotation). We therefore developed the GODomainMiner approach to expand the available functional annotations of protein domains and families. Based on our ECDomainMiner approach, we use the respective associations of protein sequences with GO terms and protein domains to infer direct associations between GO terms and protein domains. Finally, we used our calculated GO-Domain associations to devise a systematic way to generate high confidence rules for protein sequence (or structure) annotation.

description: We theoretically investigated the magnetoresistance (MR) and planar Hall effect (PHE) in Weyl semimetals based on the semiclassical Boltzmann theory, focusing on the fine structure of the band dispersion. We identified that the negative longitudinal MR and sign change in the PHE occur because of the negative off-diagonal effective-mass with no topological effects or chiral anomaly physics. Our results highlight the crucial role of the off-diagonal effective-mass, which can cause anomalous galvanomagnetic effects. We propose that the PHE creates a dip in their temperature dependence, which enables the experimental detection of the Weyl point.

description: Designing objects with predefined optical properties is a task of fundamental importance for nanophotonics, and chirality is a prototypical example of such a property, with applications ranging from photochemistry to nonlinear photonics. A measure of electromagnetic chirality with a well-defined upper bound has recently been proposed. Here, we optimize the shape of silver helices at discrete frequencies ranging from the far infrared to the optical band. Gaussian process optimization, taking into account also shape derivative information of the helices scattering response, is used to maximize the electromagnetic chirality. We show that the theoretical designs achieve more than 90 percent of the upper bound of em-chirality for wavelenghts \SI{3}{\micro\meter} or larger, while their performance decreases towards the optical band. We fabricate and characterize helices for operation at \SI{800}{\nano\meter}, and identify some of the imperfections that affect the performance. Our work motivates further research both on the theoretical and fabrication sides to unlock potential applications of objects with large electromagnetic chirality at optical frequencies, such as helicity filtering glasses. We show that, at \SI{3}{\micro\meter}, a thin slab of randomly oriented helices can absorb 99 percent of the light of one helicity while absorbing only 9 percent of the opposite helicity.

description: The cataclysmic observations of event GW170817, first as gravitational waves along the inspiral motion of two neutron stars, then as a short $γ$-ray burst, and later as a kilonova, launched the era of multimessenger astronomy, and played a pivotal role in furthering our understanding on a number of longstanding questions. Numerical modelling of such multimessenger sources is an important tool to understand the physics of compact objects and, more generally, the physics of matter under extreme conditions. In this review we present a unified view of various techniques used to obtain equilibrium and quasiequilibrium solutions for three astrophysically relevant relativistic, self-gravitating fluid systems: Binary neutron stars, black hole-disks, and magnetized rotating neutron stars. These solutions are necessary not only for modeling such compact objects, but equally important, for providing self-consistent initial data in numerical relativity simulations. Instead of presenting the full details of the formulations and numerical algorithms, we focus on painting the broadbrush picture of the methods developed to address these problems, and facilitate future work in the area.

description: Differential privacy (DP) is widely being employed in the industry as a practical standard for privacy protection. While private training of computer vision or natural language processing applications has been studied extensively, the computational challenges of training of recommender systems (RecSys) with DP have not been explored. In this work, we first present our detailed characterization of private RecSys training using DP-SGD, root-causing its several performance bottlenecks. Specifically, we identify DP-SGD's noise sampling and noisy gradient update stage to suffer from a severe compute and memory bandwidth limitation, respectively, causing significant performance overhead in training private RecSys. Based on these findings, we propose LazyDP, an algorithm-software co-design that addresses the compute and memory challenges of training RecSys with DP-SGD. Compared to a state-of-the-art DP-SGD training system, we demonstrate that LazyDP provides an average 119x training throughput improvement while also ensuring mathematically equivalent, differentially private RecSys models to be trained.
Continuity Trumps? The Impact of Interviewer Change on Item Nonresponse
Creators: name: Hajek, Kristin

Publisher: name: European Survey Research Association
Year: 2018
Subjects: item nonresponse; interviewer change; interviewer characteristics; panel surveys; fixed effects analysis

description: Allocating the same interviewer to each respondent over multiple waves is typically recommended for panel surveys. While some studies have investigated the effect of this strategy on unit nonresponse, there is scarce empirical evidence on how interviewer (dis-)continuity affects item nonresponse. This is surprising, given that the amount and pattern of item nonresponse is a crucial aspect of data quality. Using the first seven waves of the German Family Panel pairfam, we investigate whether interviewer continuity indeed influences item nonresponse. Our analysis differentiates between “I don’t know” responses and the complete refusal to answer, both with respect to the specific question of household income as well as the entire question program. By applying respondent fixed effects methods we can base our results on a within-person comparison, controlling for time-constant unobserved characteristics. Our analysis shows no detrimental effect of interviewer change over the panel; in fact, being assigned to a new interviewer even leads to lower refusal percentages. Only temporary dropouts showed lower percentages of “I don’t know” answers if an interviewer change occurred. Changes in social distance with respect to age and gender do not prove to be relevant mechanisms for this effect. However, both female and male respondents exhibit a higher likelihood of “I don’t know” responses over all questions when reassigned to a female interviewer. Reassignment to a more experienced interviewer produces less “I don’t know” answers.

description: Transient structural changes of Al$_2$O$_3$ on subatomic length scales following irradiation with an intense x-ray laser pulse (photon energy: 8.70 keV; pulse duration: 6 fs; fluence: 8$\times$10$^2$ J/cm$^{2}$) have been investigated by using an x-ray pump x-ray probe technique. The measurement reveals that aluminum and oxygen atoms remain in their original positions by $\sim$20 fs after the intensity maximum of the pump pulse, followed by directional atomic displacements at the fixed unit cell parameters. By comparing the experimental results and theoretical simulations, we interpret that electron excitation and relaxation triggered by the pump pulse modifies the potential energy surface and drives the directional atomic displacements. Our results indicate that high-resolution x-ray structural analysis with the accuracy of 0.01 Åis feasible even with intense x-ray pulses by making the pulse duration shorter than the timescale needed to complete electron excitation and relaxation processes, which usually take up to a few tens of femtoseconds.

description: We elucidate the itinerant ferromagnetism of a dipolar Fermi gas with a Raman-induced spin-orbit coupling by investigating the exotic phase diagrams at zero and finite temperature. It is revealed that the dipolar interaction along with spin-orbit coupling can corroborate the formation of ferromagnetism and the Raman coupling adversely eliminates the tendency to this ferromagnetism transition, which greatly transcends the general understanding of this subject with contact interaction only. We explore the ground states through the density and spin-flip distribution in momentum space, which exhibits novel degeneracy at strong Raman coupling indicated by a non-zero entropy at zero temperature. We calculate the transition temperatures well within the reach of an experimental system when altering the dipolar and spin-orbit coupling strength, which paves a way to the further experimental realization.

We show that six members of the monolayer MA2Z4 (M = Mo and W; A = C, Si, and Ge; Z = N, P, and As) family are direct band-gap semiconductors with protected valley states and that circularly polarized infrared light can induce valley-selective inter-band transitions. Our optovalleytronic device demonstrates a close to 100% valley- and spin-polarized current under in-plane bias and circularly polarized infrared light, which can be exploited to encode, process, and store information.

Toward diagnosing neutrino non-unitarity through CP phase correlations
Creators: name: Minakata, Hisakazu
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss correlations between the $ν$SM CP phase $δ$ and the phases that originate from new physics which causes neutrino-sector unitarity violation (UV) at low energies. This study is motivated to provide one of the building pieces for a machinery to diagnose non-unitarity, our ultimate goal. We extend the perturbation theory of neutrino oscillation in matter proposed by Denton {\it et al.}~(DMP) to include the UV effect expressed by the $α$ parametrization. By analyzing the DMP-UV perturbation theory to first order, we are able to draw a completed picture of the $δ$ - UV phase correlations in the whole kinematical region covered by the terrestrial neutrino experiments. There exist the two regions with the characteristically different patterns of the correlations: (1) the chiral-type $[e^{- i δ} α_{μe}, ~e^{ - i δ} α_{τe}, ~α_{τμ}]$ (PDG convention) correlation in the entire high-energy region $\vert ρE \vert \gsim 6~(\text{g/cm}^3)$ GeV, and (2) (blobs of the $α$ parameters) - $e^{ \pm i δ}$ correlation in anywhere else. Some relevant aspects for measurement of the UV parameters, such as the necessity of determining all the $α_{βγ}$ elements at once, are also pointed out.

Subjects: American Time Use Survey, memory gaps, paradata, response strategy

description: Unaccounted respondent memory gaps – i.e., those activity gaps that are attributed by interviewers to respondents’ memory failure – have serious implications for data quality. We contribute to the existing literature by investigating interviewing dynamics using paradata, distinguishing temporary memory gaps, which can be resolved during the interview, from enduring memory gaps, which cannot be resolved. We investigate factors that are associated with both kinds of memory gaps and how different response strategies are associated with data quality.

We investigate two competing hypotheses that are associated with temporary and enduring memory gaps. The optimizing hypothesis posits that respondents who display more optimizing behaviors throughout the survey will resolve temporary memory gaps more successfully compared to respondents displaying fewer optimizing behaviors. This should result in overall lower levels of enduring memory gaps. The satisficing hypothesis suggests that respondent who are less eager to participate in the survey will expend less cognitive effort to resolve temporary memory gaps compared to more motivated respondents. This should then result in a positive association with enduring memory gaps and no association with temporary memory gaps.

Using survey and paradata from the 2010 ATUS, our analyses indicate that, as hypothesized, optimizing behaviors are positively associated with temporary memory gaps and negatively associated with enduring memory gaps. Motivated respondents experiencing memory difficulties overcome what otherwise would result in enduring memory gaps more successfully compared to other respondents. Indicators of satisficing, such as whether or not the respondent initially refused to participate in the survey, are positively associated with enduring memory gaps suggesting that reluctant respondents do not resolve memory gaps. The paper concludes with a discussion of implications for survey research.

Is satisficing responsible for response order effects in rating scale question?
Creators: name: Keusch, Florian
Publisher: name: European Survey Research Association

Subjects: scale direction; response order effect; rating scales; satisficing; Web survey

description: Rating scales are used extensively in surveys. A rating scale can descend from the highest to the lowest point or from the positive to the negative pole. A rating scale can also start with the lowest point (or the negative pole) and ascend to the highest point (or the positive pole). Previous research has shown that the direction of the scale, i.e., the order of the response options, has an impact on responses, and that respondents are more likely to select response options close to the starting point of the scale, regardless of whether the scale ascends or descends. This paper advances the literature by examining empirically whether or not the response order effect in rating scale questions is driven by satisficing. Drawing on data from five experiments, we found that scale direction had a significant and extreme impact on response distributions. Although the effect of scale direction was stronger among speeders than non-speeders, the effect was observed across the board among those who were at a high risk of satisficing and those who were not.

Subjects: survey, experiment, halton sequence, randomization

description: Randomization has been widely used in surveys for various purposes such as within household respondent selection, rotation of questions and answer choices, and split sample (or ballot) technique for survey experiments. The randomization is usually based on a random number generating process whereby the computer generates random numbers which are then used to classify respondents in different groups. In this study, we use an alternative randomization based on the Halton sequence. The method is used in a survey with a political experiment which requires randomization of the political candidate’s characteristics. Our survey results demonstrate that the Halton sequence can be quite effective in randomly assigning respondents into groups, especially in surveys with small sample sizes

Two Simple Methods to Improve Official Statistics for Small Subpopulations
Creators: name: Mittag, Nikolas
Publisher: name: European Survey Research Association
Year: 2018
Subjects: survey error, small populations food stamps, government transfers, official statistics

description: Many important statistics are known from official records for the entire population, but have to be estimated for subpopulations. I describe two simple data combination methods that reduce the substantial sampling error of the commonly used direct survey estimates for small subpopulations. The first estimator incorporates information from repeated cross-sections, while the second estimator uses the knowledge of the statistic for the overall population to improve accuracy of the estimates for subpopulations. To evaluate the estimators, I compare the estimated number of female and elderly recipients of a government transfer program by county to the "true" number from administrative data on all recipients in New York. I find that even the simple estimators substantially improve survey error. Incorporating the statistic of interest for the overall population yields particularly large error reductions and can reduce non-sampling error.

description: LQXFA/B production series cryogenic assemblies are being built for the LHC upgrade by the HL-LHC Accelerator Upgrade Project (AUP). These contain a pair of MQXFA quadrupole magnets combined as a cold mass within a vacuum vessel, and are to be installed in the IR regions of the LHC. The LQXFA/B are being tested at 1.9 K to assess alignment and magnetic performance at Fermilab's horizontal test facility. The ~10 m - long assembly must meet stringent specifications for quadrupole strength and harmonic field integrals determination, magnetic axis location, and for variations in axis position and local field profile. A multi-probe, PCB-based rotating coil and Single Stretched Wire system are employed for these measurements. To accurately determine rotating coil location and angles within the cold mass, a laser tracker is utilized to record multiple targets at one end of the probe. This paper describes the measurements, probes/equipment, and techniques used to perform the necessary characterization of the cold mass.

description: This work proposes a domain-informed neural network architecture for experimental particle physics, using particle interaction localization with the time-projection chamber (TPC) technology for dark matter research as an example application. A key feature of the signals generated within the TPC is that they allow localization of particle interactions through a process called reconstruction. While multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) have emerged as a leading contender for reconstruction in TPCs, such a black-box approach does not reflect prior knowledge of the underlying scientific processes. This paper looks anew at neural network-based interaction localization and encodes prior detector knowledge, in terms of both signal characteristics and detector geometry, into the feature encoding and the output layers of a multilayer neural network. The resulting Domain-informed Neural Network (DiNN) limits the receptive fields of the neurons in the initial feature encoding layers in order to account for the spatially localized nature of the signals produced within the TPC. This aspect of the DiNN, which has similarities with the emerging area of graph neural networks in that the neurons in the initial layers only connect to a handful of neurons in their succeeding layer, significantly reduces the number of parameters in the network in comparison to an MLP. In addition, in order to account for the detector geometry, the output layers of the network are modified using two geometric transformations to ensure the DiNN produces localizations within the interior of the detector. The end result is a neural network architecture that has 60% fewer parameters than an MLP, but that still achieves similar localization performance and provides a path to future architectural developments with improved performance because of their ability to encode additional domain knowledge into the architecture.
