description: To identify consistently expressed lncRNAs and suitable lncRNAs with high sensitivity and specificity from multiple independent studies as potential biomarkers for PCa diagnostics. We searched multiple electronic databases including PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI, CQVIP, Wanfang, and CBMdisc for studies published up to July 2022. The quality of the included studies was assessed by two independent reviewers based on the QUADAS-2 tool using Review Manager 5.3. A vote-counting method was used based on the ranking of potential molecular biomarkers. The top-ranked lncRNAs were further assessed for diagnostic value using Meta-disc version 1.4 software. Among the 26 included studies, 2 circulating lncRNAs (PCA3 and MALAT-1) were reported 3 or more times in PCa patients versus non-PCa patients. In further analysis, the areas under the curve of the summary receiver operating characteristic curves for PCA3 and MALAT-1 distinguishing PCa patients were 0.775 and 0.771, respectively. Based on the current evidence, PCA3 and MALAT-1 are reliable lncRNAs for the diagnosis of PCa.

description: Rising obesity and declining physical activity levels are of great concern because of the associated health risks. Many children are left unsupervised after the school day ends, but little is known about the association between unsupervised time and physical activity levels. This paper seeks to determine whether adolescent girls who are without adult supervision after school are more or less active than their peers who have a caregiver at home. A random sample of girls from 36 middle schools at 6 field sites across the U.S. was selected during the fall of the 2002–2003 school year to participate in the baseline measurement activities of the Trial of Activity for Adolescent Girls (TAAG). Information was collected using six-day objectively measured physical activity, self-reported physical activity using a three-day recall, and socioeconomic and psychosocial measures. Complete information was available for 1422 out of a total of 1596 respondents. Categorical variables were analyzed using chi square and continuous variables were analyzed by t-tests. The four categories of time alone were compared using a mixed linear model controlling for clustering effects by study center. Girls who spent more time after school (≥2 hours per day, ≥2 days per week) without adult supervision were more active than those with adult supervision (p = 0.01). Girls alone for ≥2 hours after school, ≥2 days a week, on average accrue 7.55 minutes more moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per day than do girls who are supervised (95% confidence interval ([C.I]). These results adjusted for ethnicity, parent's education, participation in the free/reduced lunch program, neighborhood resources, or available transportation. Unsupervised girls (n = 279) did less homework (53.1% vs. 63.3%), spent less time riding in a car or bus (48.0% vs. 56.6%), talked on the phone more (35.5% vs. 21.1%), and watched more television (59.9% vs. 52.6%) than supervised girls (n = 569). However, unsupervised girls also were more likely to be dancing (14.0% vs. 9.3%) and listening to music (20.8% vs. 12.0%) (p < .05). Girls in an unsupervised environment engaged in fewer structured activities and did not immediately do their homework, but they were more likely to be physically active than supervised girls. These results may have implications for parents, school, and community agencies as to how to structure activities in order to encourage teenage girls to be more physically active.

description: The relationship between disease susceptibility and genetic variation is complex, and many different types of data are relevant. We describe a web resource and database that provides and integrates as much information as possible on disease/gene relationships at the molecular level. The resource http://www.SNPs3D.org has three primary modules. One module identifies which genes are candidates for involvement in a specified disease. A second module provides information about the relationships between sets of candidate genes. The third module analyzes the likely impact of non-synonymous SNPs on protein function. Disease/candidate gene relationships and gene-gene relationships are derived from the literature using simple but effective text profiling. SNP/protein function relationships are derived by two methods, one using principles of protein structure and stability, the other based on sequence conservation. Entries for each gene include a number of links to other data, such as expression profiles, pathway context, mouse knockout information and papers. Gene-gene interactions are presented in an interactive graphical interface, providing rapid access to the underlying information, as well as convenient navigation through the network. Use of the resource is illustrated with aspects of the inflammatory response and hypertension. The combination of SNP impact analysis, a knowledge based network of gene relationships and candidate genes, and access to a wide range of data and literature allow a user to quickly assimilate available information, and so develop models of gene-pathway-disease interaction.

description: The Leishmania promastigote-macrophage interaction occurs through the association of multiple receptors on the biological membrane surfaces. The success of the parasite infection is dramatically dependent on this early interaction in the vertebrate host, which permits or not the development of the disease. In this study we propose a novel methodology using flow cytometry to study this interaction, and compare it with a previously described "in vitro" binding assay. To study parasite-macrophage interaction, peritoneal macrophages were obtained from 4 dogs and adjusted to 3 × 106 cells/mL. Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi parasites (stationary-phase) were adjusted to 5 × 107 cells/mL. The interaction between CFSE-stained Leishmania chagasi and canine peritoneal macrophages was performed in polypropylene tubes to avoid macrophage adhesion. We carried out assays in the presence or absence of normal serum or in the presence of a final concentration of 5% of C5 deficient (serum from AKR/J mice) mouse serum. Then, the number of infected macrophages was counted in an optical microscope, as well as by flow citometry. Macrophages obtained were stained with anti-CR3 (CD11b/CD18) antibodies and analyzed by flow citometry. Our results have shown that the interaction between Leishmania and macrophages can be measured by flow cytometry using the fluorescent dye CFSE to identify the Leishmania, and measuring simultaneously the expression of an important integrin involved in this interaction: the CD11b/CD18 (CR3 or Mac-1) β2 integrin. Flow cytometry offers rapid, reliable and sensitive measurements of single cell interactions with Leishmania in unstained or phenotypically defined cell populations following staining with one or more fluorochromes.

description: Nasal strips are used by athletes, people who snore, and asthmatics to ease the burden of breathing. Although there are some published studies that demonstrate higher flow with nasal strips, none had directly measured the effect of the strips on nasal resistance using the airflow perturbation device (APD). The APD is an inexpensive instrument that can measure respiratory resistance based on changes in mouth pressure and rate of airflow. This study tested forty-seven volunteers (14 men and 33 women), ranging in age from 17 to 51. Each volunteer was instructed to breathe normally into the APD using an oronasal mask with and without nasal strips. The APD measured respiratory resistance during inhalation, exhalation, and an average of the two. Results of a paired mean t-test comparing nasal strip against no nasal strip were statistically significant at the p = 0.05 level. The Breathe Right™ nasal dilator strips lowered nasal resistance by an average of 0.5 cm H20/Lps from an average nasal resistance of 5.5 cm H20/Lps. Nasal strips reduce nasal resistance when measured with the APD. The effect is equal during exhalation and during inhalation.

The same characterization holds for the entropies of sofic shifts. On the other hand, the entropy of an irreducible SFT is computable.

description: Maximum pressures developed by the respiratory muscles can indicate the health of the respiratory system, help to determine maximum respiratory flow rates, and contribute to respiratory power development. Past measurements of maximum pressures have been found to be inadequate for inclusion in some exercise models involving respiration. Maximum inspiratory and expiratory airway pressures were measured over a range of lung volumes in 29 female and 19 male adults. A commercial bell spirometry system was programmed to occlude airflow at nine target lung volumes ranging from 10% to 90% of vital capacity. In women, maximum expiratory pressure increased with volume from 39 to 61 cmH2O and maximum inspiratory pressure decreased with volume from 66 to 28 cmH2O. In men, maximum expiratory pressure increased with volume from 63 to 97 cmH2O and maximum inspiratory pressure decreased with volume from 97 to 39 cmH2O. Equations describing pressures for both sexes are: Pe/Pmax = 0.1426 Ln( %VC) + 0.3402 R2 = 0.95 Pi/Pmax = 0.234 Ln(100 - %VC) - 0.0828 R2 = 0.96 These results were found to be consistent with values and trends obtained by other authors. Regression equations may be suitable for respiratory mechanics models.

description: Classical continuum plasticity model fail to describe the size effects observed on micro-scale. For this reason, plasticity models which incorporate the dislocation microstructure are of great interest. The numerical simulation of dislocation motion on small scales is, however, unfeasible for engineering applications owing to the high computational expense. In a bottom-up approach, continuum dislocation theories aim to represent the underlying physical effects while keeping the numerical effort within reasonable limits. Despite the advances in the understanding of dislocation motion and interaction in a continuum framework, the numerical simulation of such models still entails high numerical costs. This work provides a numerical approximation method for elastoplasticity based on the continuum dislocation dynamics theory allowing for three-dimensional computations with multiple slip systems. Proceeding from a validation of the presented method in several numerical tests, it is applied to a tensile test of a tricrystalline geometry. The results are compared to discrete dislocation dynamics data.

description: This work aims at exploring the potential energy surfaces of C$_{24}$H$_n${n=0,6,12,18,24} up to 20-25\,eV using the genetic algorithm in combination with the density functional based tight binding (DFTB) potential. The structural diversity of the non fragmented structures was analysed using order parameters which were chosen as the number of 5 or 6 carbon rings and the asphericity constant $β$. The most abundant and lowest energy population was found to correspond to a flakes population, constituted of isomers of variable shapes possessing a large number of 5 or 6-carbon rings. This population is characterized by a larger number of spherical isomers when $n_H/n_C$ increases. Simultaneously, the fraction of the pretzels population constituted of spherical isomers possessing fewer 5 or 6 carbon ring cycles increases. For all hydrogenation rates, the fraction of cages population remains extremely minor while the branched population is the highest energy population for all $n_H/n_C$ ratios. For all C$_{24}$H$_n${n=0,6,12,18,24} clusters, a detailed study of the evolution of the carbon ring size distribution as a function of energy clearly shows that the stability is correlated to the number of 6-carbon rings. A similar study for hybridization $sp^n$ (n=1-3) shows that the number of $sp^1$ carbon atoms increases with energy while globally the number of $sp^3$ carbon atoms increases with $n_H/n_C$. The average values of the ionization potentials of all populations were found to decrease when $n_H/n_C$ increases, ranging from 7.9\,eV down to 6.4\,eV that we correlated to carbon atoms hybridization $sp^n$ (n=1-3). These results are of astrophysical interest as they should be taken into account in astrophysical models especially regarding the role of carbonaceous species in the gas ionization.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a pathogen infecting those with cystic fibrosis, encounters toxicity from phagocyte-derived reactive oxidants including hydrogen peroxide during active infection. P. aeruginosa responds with adaptive and protective strategies against these toxic species to effectively infect humans. Despite advances in our understanding of the responses to oxidative stress in many specific cases, the connectivity between targeted protective genes and the rest of cell metabolism remains obscure. This finding proposes that pyocin production might be another novel defensive scheme against oxidative attack by host cells.

description: Nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation (NHQC) provides a method to implement error resilient gates and that has attracted considerable attention recently. Since it was proposed, three-level Λ systems have become the typical building block for NHQC and a number of NHQC schemes have been developed based on such systems. In this paper, we investigate the realization of NHQC beyond the standard three-level setting. The central idea of our proposal is to improve NHQC by enlarging the Hilbert space of the building block system and letting it have a bipartite graph structure in order to ensure purely holonomic evolution. Our proposal not only improves conventional qubit-based NHQC by efficiently reducing its duration, but also provides implementations of qudit-based NHQC. Therefore, our proposal provides a further development of NHQC that can contribute significantly to the physical realization of efficient quantum information processors.

description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: Increasing and often conflicting demands for water in the West have heightened public awareness of the need for sound management decisions concerning water. Although the West's high mountain ranges hold a vast snowpack that provides 50 to 80 percent of the year's water supply, nature cannot be relied upon to provide an uninterrupted, dependable supply of meltwater to meet all the downstream requirements. To moderate this variability, reservoirs and canals have been built to serve the growing needs of agriculture, industry, and communities. But successful water management begins with an adequate knowledge of the primary source of water in the West: snow. This booklet describes the cooperative snow survey program. It is intended to provide the general public as well as water resource professionals with a better understanding of the importance of snow, snowpack surveys, and water supply forecasting in natural resources management.

description: The modification of the single inclusive spectrum of high transverse momentum ($p_T $) pions emanating from an ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collision is investigated. The deconfined sector is modelled using a full three dimensional (3-D) ideal fluid dynamics simulation. Energy loss of high $p_T$ partons and the ensuing modification of their fragmentation is calculated within perturbative QCD at next-to-leading twist, where the magnitude of the higher twist contribution is modulated by the entropy density extracted from the 3-D fluid dynamics simulation. The nuclear modification factor ($R_{AA}$) for pions with a $p_T \geq 8$ GeV as a function of centrality as well as with respect to the reaction plane is calculated. The magnitude of contributions to the differential $R_{AA}$ within small angular ranges, from various depths in the dense matter is extracted from the calculation and demonstrate the correlation of the length integrated density and the $R_{AA}$ from a given depth. The significance of the mixed and hadronic phase to the overall magnitude of energy loss are explored.

description: This documents aims at investigating, analyzing and describing the requirements for NESTORE platform, deriving from the monitoring requirements defined in WP2 and the related sensors and ecosystem.
 The requirements definition also integrates the analysis of the stakeholders’ desiderata gathered in WP2 and involved ICT developers, in order to understand which (or how to compute/extract) variables, features and technologies are needed to build the personalized monitoring and interactive coaching system that the NESTORE platform should develop and implement.
 Ideal functional requirements are defined by WP2 taking into account the ageing process, while WP7 contribute with the user’s point of view and refine requirements according to a co-design methodology. In this deliverable, requirements are prioritized and a set of technical features are derived accordingly.
 This document also aims at reporting the NESTORE requirements from the point of view of data, specifically in relation to security and privacy issues. In it, we faced data security describing problems and solution in order to ensure sensible data safety and confidentiality. Furthermore, the last part of this deliverable is an overview of privacy problem with a description of the requirements for the new EU General Data Protection Regulation, entering into force in the coming may 2018.
 This document is the input to other WP6 tasks for the definition of architecture, communication interfaces and integration. Deliverable D6.2 and D6.3 will validate these requirements and will define how these specifications would be developed and implemented into the NESTORE platform.
 The following chapters will describe the requirements from two different points of view: functional requirements and non-functional requirements. Functional requirements are all the features, directly related to the users, and which are composed of the monitoring system, the decision support system and the virtual coach. The non-functional requirements are strictly related to platform acceptability and reliability and consists of usability, wearability, security and privacy requirements.

Estimation of heteroskedastic limited dependent variable models
Creators: name: Donald, Stephen Geoffrey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis considers the problem of estimating limited dependent variable models when the latent residuals are heteroskedastic normally distributed random variables. Commonly used estimators are generally inconsistent in such situations. Two estimation methods that allow consistent estimation of the parameters of interest are presented and shown to be consistent when the latent residuals are heteroskedastic of unknown form. Both estimators use recent advances in the econometric literature on nonparametric estimation and deal with the unknown form of heteroskedasticity by approximating the variance using a Fourier series type approximation. The first estimator is based on the method of maximum likelihood and involves maximising the likelihood function by choice of the parameters of the variance function approximation and the other parameters of interest. Consistency is shown to hold in the three most popular limited dependent variable models — the Probit, Tobit, and sample selection models — provided that the number of terms in the approximation increases with the sample size. The second estimator, which can be used to estimate the Tobit and sample selection models, is based on a two-step procedure, using Fourier series approximations in both steps. Consistency and asymptotic normality are proven under restrictions on the rate of increase of the number of parameters in the approximating functions. Finally, a small Monte Carlo experiment is conducted to examine the small sample properties of the estimators. The results show that the estimators perform quite well and in many cases reduce the bias, relative to the commonly used estimators, with little or no efficiency loss.

Furthermore, we propose a novel \emph{extract-compose} model to solve the problem in the regime of limited parallel data. We explicitly select key spans from several abstracts using a policy network, followed by composing the selected spans to present a summary via a task specific language model. Compared to state-of-the-art methods, our approach leads to more faithful, relevant and diverse summarization -- properties imperative to this application. For instance, on the BreastCancer dataset our approach gets a more than 50\% improvement on relevance and faithfulness.\footnote{Our code and data is available at \url{https://github.com/darsh10/Nutribullets.}}

description: The vast majority of stars in galaxy groups are contained within their constituent galaxies. Some small fraction of stars is expected, however, to follow the global dark matter potential of the group. In compact groups, interactions between the galaxies should be frequent. This leads to a more intensive material stripping from the group members, which finally forms an intra-group light component (IGL). Therefore, the distribution of the IGL should be related to the distribution of the total mass in the compact group and its dynamical status. In this study we consider the distribution and fraction of the IGL in a sample of 36 Hickson compact groups (HCGs). We use deep observations of these compact groups (down to surface brightness $\sim 28$ mag\,arcsec$^{-2}$ in the $r$ band) obtained with the WISE $28$-inch telescope. For five HCGs with a bright symmetric IGL component, we carry out multicomponent photometric decomposition to simultaneously fit the galaxy profiles and the IGL. For the remaining groups, we only fit the profiles of their constituent galaxies. We find that the mean surface brightness of the IGL correlates with the mean morphology of the group: it becomes brighter in the groups with a larger fraction of early-type galaxies. On the other hand, the IGL brightness depends on the total luminosity of the group. The IGL profile tends to have a Sérsic index $n\sim0.5-1$, which is generally consistent with the mass density profile of dark matter haloes in compact groups obtained from cosmological simulations.

description: We discuss unpolarized neutrino- and anti-neutrino-nucleon deep inelastic scattering (DIS) using a chiral doublet of baryonic sources with explicit symmetry breaking, in a slice of AdS$_5$ with both a hard and soft wall. We explicitly derive the direct and transition form factors for the vector and axial-vector currents for the holographic dual of a proton and neutron. We use them to derive the s-channel structure functions for neutrino and anti-neutrino scattering on a proton and neutron in bulk. The t-channel contributions stemming from the Pomeron and Reggeon exchanges are also evaluated explicitly. The pertinent even and odd structure functions in the limit of large and small parton momentum fraction $x$ are given. The results allow for the extraction of the nonperterbative parton distribution functions carried by the sea and valence quarks both at large-x and small-x regimes. Our holographic PDF sets compare well with LHAPDF and CTEQ PDF sets in the large-x and small-x regimes in the intermediate range of $Q^2<10~\rm{GeV^2}$.

Dynamical Origin of Extrasolar Planet Eccentricity Distribution

description: We explore the possibility that the observed eccentricity distribution of extrasolar planets arose through planet-planet interactions, after the initial stage of planet formation was complete. Our results are based on ~3250 numerical integrations of ensembles of randomly constructed planetary systems, each lasting 100 Myr. We find that for a remarkably wide range of initial conditions the eccentricity distributions of dynamically active planetary systems relax towards a common final equilibrium distribution, well described by the fitting formula dn ~ e exp[-1/2 (e/0.3)^2] de. This distribution agrees well with the observed eccentricity distribution for e > 0.2, but predicts too few planets at lower eccentricities, even when we exclude planets subject to tidal circularization. These findings suggest that a period of large-scale dynamical instability has occurred in a significant fraction of newly formed planetary systems, lasting 1--2 orders of magnitude longer than the ~1 Myr interval in which gas-giant planets are assembled. This mechanism predicts no (or weak) correlations between semimajor axis, eccentricity, inclination, and mass in dynamically relaxed planetary systems. An additional observational consequence of dynamical relaxation is a significant population of planets (>10%) that are highly inclined (>25deg) with respect to the initial symmetry plane of the protoplanetary disk; this population may be detectable in transiting planets through the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect.

description: In 2005, Railsback et al. proposed a very simple model ({\em Stupid Model}) that could be implemented within a couple of hours, and later extended to demonstrate the use of common ABM platform functionality. They provided implementations of the model in several agent based modelling platforms, and compared the platforms for ease of implementation of this simple model, and performance. In this paper, I implement Railsback et al's Stupid Model in the EcoLab simulation platform, a C++ based modelling platform, demonstrating that it is a feasible platform for these sorts of models, and compare the performance of the implementation with Repast, Mason and Swarm versions.
Quantum Chaos of the Bose-Fermi Kondo model at the intermediate temperature

description: We study the quantum chaos in the Bose-Fermi Kondo model in which the impurity spin interacts with conduction electrons and a bosonic bath at the intermediate temperature in the large $N$ limit. The out-of-time-ordered correlator is calculated based on the Bethe-Salpeter equation and the Lyapunov exponent $λ_L$ is extracted. Our calculation shows that the Lyapunov exponent monotonically increases as the Kondo coupling $J_K$ increases, and it can reach an order of $λ_L\sim T$ as $J_K$ approaches the $MCK$ point. Furthermore, we also demonstrate that $λ_L$ decreases monotonously as the impurity and bosonic bath coupling $g$ increases, which is contrary to the general expectation that the most chaotic property occurs at the quantum critical point with the non-Fermi liquid nature.

Few amino acid positions in rpoB are associated with most of the rifampin resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

description: Mutations in rpoB, the gene encoding the β subunit of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, are associated with rifampin resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Several studies have been conducted where minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC, which is defined as the minimum concentration of the antibiotic in a given culture medium below which bacterial growth is not inhibited) of rifampin has been measured and partial DNA sequences have been determined for rpoB in different isolates of M. tuberculosis. However, no model has been constructed to predict rifampin resistance based on sequence information alone. Such a model might provide the basis for quantifying rifampin resistance status based exclusively on DNA sequence data and thus eliminate the requirements for time consuming culturing and antibiotic testing of clinical isolates. Sequence data for amino acid positions 511–533 of rpoB and associated MIC of rifampin for different isolates of M. tuberculosis were taken from studies examining rifampin resistance in clinical samples from New York City and throughout Japan. We used tree-based statistical methods and random forests to generate models of the relationships between rpoB amino acid sequence and rifampin resistance. The proportion of variance explained by a relatively simple tree-based cross-validated regression model involving two amino acid positions (526 and 531) is 0.679. The first partition in the data, based on position 531, results in groups that differ one hundredfold in mean MIC (1.596 μg/ml and 159.676 μg/ml). The subsequent partition based on position 526, the most variable in this region, results in a > 354-fold difference in MIC. When considered as a classification problem (susceptible or resistant), a cross-validated tree-based model correctly classified most (0.884) of the observations and was very similar to the regression model. Random forest analysis of the MIC data as a continuous variable, a regression problem, produced a model that explained 0.861 of the variance. The random forest analysis of the MIC data as discrete classes produced a model that correctly classified 0.942 of the observations with sensitivity of 0.958 and specificity of 0.885. Highly accurate regression and classification models of rifampin resistance can be made based on this short sequence region. Models may be better with improved (and consistent) measurements of MIC and more sequence data.
