description: Synthetic likelihood (SL) is a strategy for parameter inference when the likelihood function is analytically or computationally intractable. In SL, the likelihood function of the data is replaced by a multivariate Gaussian density over summary statistics of the data. SL requires simulation of many replicate datasets at every parameter value considered by a sampling algorithm, such as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), making the method computationally-intensive. We propose two strategies to alleviate the computational burden. First, we introduce an algorithm producing a proposal distribution that is sequentially tuned and made conditional to data, thus it rapidly \textit{guides} the proposed parameters towards high posterior density regions. In our experiments, a small number of iterations of our algorithm is enough to rapidly locate high density regions, which we use to initialize one or several chains that make use of off-the-shelf adaptive MCMC methods. Our "guided" approach can also be potentially used with MCMC samplers for approximate Bayesian computation (ABC). Second, we exploit strategies borrowed from the correlated pseudo-marginal MCMC literature, to improve the chains mixing in a SL framework. Moreover, our methods enable inference for challenging case studies, when the posterior is multimodal and when the chain is initialised in low posterior probability regions of the parameter space, where standard samplers failed. To illustrate the advantages stemming from our framework we consider five benchmark examples, including estimation of parameters for a cosmological model and a stochastic model with highly non-Gaussian summary statistics.

description: Let N_1, N_2, M be smooth manifolds with dim N_1 + dim N_2 +1 = dim M$ and let phi_i, for i=1,2, be smooth mappings of N_i to M with Im phi_1 and Im phi_2 disjoint. The classical linking number lk(phi_1,phi_2) is defined only when phi_1*[N_1] = phi_2*[N_2] = 0 in H_*(M). The affine linking invariant alk is a generalization of lk to the case where phi_1*[N_1] or phi_2*[N_2] are not zero-homologous. In arXiv:math.GT/0207219 we constructed the first examples of affine linking invariants of nonzero-homologous spheres in the spherical tangent bundle of a manifold, and showed that alk is intimately related to the causality relation of wave fronts on manifolds. In this paper we develop the general theory. The invariant alk appears to be a universal Vassiliev-Goussarov invariant of order < 2. In the case where phi_1*[N_1] and phi_2*[N_2] are 0 in homology it is a splitting of the classical linking number into a collection of independent invariants. To construct alk we introduce a new pairing mu on the bordism groups of spaces of mappings of N_1 and N_2 into M, not necessarily under the restriction dim N_1 + dim N_2 +1 = dim M. For the zero-dimensional bordism groups, mu can be related to the Hatcher-Quinn invariant. In the case N_1=N_2=S^1, it is related to the Chas-Sullivan string homology super Lie bracket, and to the Goldman Lie bracket of free loops on surfaces.

description: This paper presents a thorough experimental investigation of erbium-doped aluminium nitride thin films prepared by R.F. magnetronsputtering, coupling Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy X-ray-mapping imagery, conventional Transmission Electron Microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The study is an attempt of precise localisation of the rare earth atoms inside the films and in the hexagonal w{ü}rtzite unit cell.The study shows that AlN:Erx is a solid solution even when x reaches 6 at.%, and does not lead to the precipitation of erbium rich phases. The X-ray diffraction measurements completed by simulation show that the main location of erbium in the AlN w{ü}rtzite is the metal substitution site on the whole range. They also show that octahedral and tetrahedral sites of the w{ü}rtzite do welcome Er ions over the [1.6--6%] range. The XRD deductions allow some interpretations on the theoretical mechanisms of the photoluminescence mechanisms and more specifically on their concentration quenching.

description: We present a new derivation of the expressions for momentum and energy of a relativistic particle. In contrast to the procedures commonly adopted in textbooks, the one suggested here requires only the knowledge of the composition law for velocities along one spatial dimension, and does not make use of the concept of relativistic mass, or of the formalism of four-vectors. The basic ideas are very general and can be applied also to kinematics different from the Newtonian and Einstein ones, in order to construct the corresponding dynamics.

description: Objective: To investigate the co-occurrence of tinnitus-related distress and pain experiences alongside psychological factors that may underlie their association. Method: Patients with chronic tinnitus (N = 1238) completed a questionnaire battery examining tinnitus-related distress and affective and sensory pain perceptions. A series of simple, parallel- and serial multiple mediator models examined indirect effects of psychological comorbidities as well as -process variables including depressivity, perceived stress and coping attitudes. Moderator and moderated mediation analyses examined differential relational patterns in patients with decompensated vs. compensated tinnitus. Results: There were significant associations between tinnitus-related distress and pain perceptions. These were partially mediated by most specified variables. Psychological comorbidities appeared to influence tinnitus-pain associations through their impact on depressivity, perceived stress, and coping attitudes. Some specific differences in affective vs. sensory pain perception pathways emerged. Patients with decompensated tinnitus yielded significantly higher symptom burden across all measured indices. Tinnitus decompensation was associated with heightened associations between [1] tinnitus-related distress and pain perceptions, depressivity and negative coping attitudes; and [2] most psychological comorbidities and sensory, but not affective pain perception. Moderated mediation analyses revealed stronger indirect effects of depressivity and anxiety in mediating affective-, and anxiety in mediating sensory pain perception in patients with decompensated tinnitus. Conclusion: Psychological constructs mediate the co-occurrence of tinnitus- and pain-related symptoms across different levels of tinnitus-related distress. Psychological treatment approaches should conceptualize and address individualised interactions of common cognitive-emotional processes in addressing psychosomatic symptom clusters across syndromatic patients with varying distress levels.

description: Noncommutative multivariable versions of weighted shifts arise naturally as `weighted' left creation operators acting on Fock space. We investigate the unital weak operator topology closed algebras they generate. The unweighted case yields noncommutative analytic Toeplitz algebras. The commutant can be described in terms of weighted right creation operators when the weights satisfy a condition specific to the noncommutative setting. We prove these algebras are reflexive when the eigenvalues for the adjoint algebra include an open set in complex $n$-space, and provide a new elementary proof of reflexivity for the unweighted case. We compute eigenvalues for the adjoint algebras in general, finding geometry not present in the single variable setting. Motivated by this work, we obtain general information on the spectral theory for noncommuting $n$-tuples of operators.

description: Mast cells (MCs) are densely granulated cells of myeloid origin and are a part of immune and neuroimmune systems. MCs have been detected in the endolymphatic sac of the inner ear and are suggested to regulate allergic hydrops. However, their existence in the cochlea has never been documented. In this work, we show that MCs are present in the cochleae of C57BL/6 mice and Wistar rats, where they localize in the modiolus, spiral ligament, and stria vascularis. The identity of MCs was confirmed in cochlear cryosections and flat preparations using avidin and antibodies against c-Kit/CD117, chymase, tryptase, and FcεRIα. The number of MCs decreased significantly during postnatal development, resulting in only a few MCs present in the flat preparation of the cochlea of a rat. In addition, exposure to 40 µM cisplatin for 24 h led to a significant reduction in cochlear MCs. The presence of MCs in the cochlea may shed new light on postnatal maturation of the auditory periphery and possible involvement in the ototoxicity of cisplatin. Presented data extend the current knowledge about the physiology and pathology of the auditory periphery. Future functional studies should expand and translate this new basic knowledge to clinics.
What Fraction of Sun-like Stars have Planets?

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The radial velocities of ~1800 nearby Sun-like stars are currently being monitored by eight high-sensitivity Doppler exoplanet surveys. Approximately 90 of these stars have been found to host exoplanets massive enough to be detectable. Thus at least ~5% of target stars possess planets. If we limit our analysis to target stars that have been monitored the longest (~15 years), ~11% possess planets. If we limit our analysis to stars monitored the longest and whose low surface activity allow the most precise velocity measurements, ~25% possess planets. By identifying trends of the exoplanet mass and period distributions in a sub-sample of exoplanets less-biased by selection effects, and linearly extrapolating these trends into regions of parameter space that have not yet been completely sampled, we find at least ~9% of Sun-like stars have planets in the mass and orbital period ranges Msin(i) > 0.3 M_Jupiter and P < 13 years, and at least ~22% have planets in the larger range Msin(i) > 0.1 M_Jupiter and P < 60 years. Even this larger area of the mass-period plane is less than 20% of the area occupied by our planetary system, suggesting that this estimate is still a lower limit to the true fraction of Sun-like stars with planets, which may be as large as ~100%.

description: We construct a quadratic curvature theory of gravity whose graviton propagator around the Minkowski background respects wordline inversion symmetry, the particle approximation to modular invariance in string theory. This symmetry automatically yields a corresponding gravitational theory that is nonlocal, with the action containing infinite order differential operators. As a consequence, despite being a higher order derivative theory, it is ghost-free and has no degrees of freedom besides the massless spin-$2$ graviton of Einstein's general relativity. By working in the linearised regime we show that the point-like singularities that afflict the (local) Einstein's theory are smeared out.

Cruel Intensions: An Essay on Intentional Identity and Intentional Attitudes

Subjects: intentional identity

description: Some intentional attitudes (beliefs, fears, desires, etc.) have a common focus in spite of there being no object at that focus. For example, two beliefs may be about the same witch even when there are no witches, different astronomers had beliefs directed at Vulcan, even though there is no such planet. This relation of having a common focus, whether or not there is an actual concrete object at that focus, is called intentional identity. In the first part of this thesis I develop a new theory of intentional identity, the triangulation theory, and argue that it has significant advantages over the extant theories of intentional identity in the literature. Empty attitudes (attitudes that are not, prima facie, about anything that exists) will serve as useful cases for testing theories of intentional identity. In the second part, I put the theory developed in the first part to work. I use triangulation theoretic tools to shed light on other debates about intentional attitudes. Some issues to which intentional identity are relevant are the debate about the content of intentional attitudes, the issue of whether or not we need to appeal to external constraints on the content of intentional attitudes, how we should understand the agreement and disagreement of attitudes, how we should construe communication and how we ought to solve Kripke’s puzzle about belief. The second part of this thesis also motivates a broadly internalist and individualistic approach to the con-tent of intentional attitudes; it turns out that if we take a closer look at the narrowly construed psychological states of agents we find materials that allow us to make sense of phenomena usually associated with externalist constraints on the content of attitudes (such as causal constraints and eligibility constraints) in a new way.

description: The thermally activated creep motion of an elastic interface weakly driven on a disordered landscape is one of the best examples of glassy universal dynamics. Its understanding has evolved over the last 30 years thanks to a fruitful interplay between elegant scaling arguments, sophisticated analytical calculations, efficient optimization algorithms and creative experiments. In this article, starting from the pioneer arguments, we review the main theoretical and experimental results that lead to the current physical picture of the creep regime. In particular, we discuss recent works unveiling the collective nature of such ultra-slow motion in terms of elementary activated events. We show that these events control the mean velocity of the interface and cluster into "creep avalanches" statistically similar to the deterministic avalanches observed at the depinning critical threshold. The associated spatio-temporal patterns of activated events have been recently observed in experiments with magnetic domain walls. The emergent physical picture is expected to be relevant for a large family of disordered systems presenting thermally activated dynamics.

description: We present the discovery of five new quasars at z>5.7, selected from the multicolor imaging data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Three of them, at redshifts 5.93, 6.07, and 6.22, were selected from ~1700 deg^2 of new SDSS Main Survey imaging in the Northern Galactic Cap. An additional quasar, at redshift 5.85, was discovered by coadding the data obtained in the Fall Equatorial Stripe in the SDSS Southern Survey Region. The fifth object, at redshift 5.80, is selected from a non-standard SDSS scan in the Southern Galactic Cap outside the Main Survey area. The spectrum of SDSS J162331.81+311200.5 (z=6.22) shows a complete Gunn-Peterson trough at z_abs > 5.95, similar to the troughs detected in other three z>6.2 quasars known. We present a composite spectrum of the z>5.7 quasars discovered in the SDSS to date. The average emission line and continuum properties of z~6 quasars exhibit no significant evolution compared to those at low redshift. Using a complete sample of nine z>5.7 quasars, we find that the density of quasars with M_1450 < -26.7 at z~6 is (6+/-2) x 10^-10 per Mpc^3 consistent with our previous estimates. The luminosity distribution of the sample is fit with a power law luminosity function Psi(L) ~ L^(-3.2+/-0.7), somewhat steeper than but consistent with our previous estimates.

description: Sarcopenia is primarily characterized by skeletal muscle disturbances such as loss of muscle mass, quality, strength, and physical performance. It is commonly seen in elderly patients with chronic diseases. The prevalence of sarcopenia in chronic heart failure (HF) patients amounts to up to 20% and may progress into cardiac cachexia. Muscle wasting is a strong predictor of frailty and reduced survival in HF patients. Despite many different techniques and clinical tests, there is still no broadly available gold standard for the diagnosis of sarcopenia. Resistance exercise and nutritional supplementation represent the currently most used strategies against wasting disorders. Ongoing research is investigating skeletal muscle mitochondrial dysfunction as a new possible target for pharmacological compounds. Novel agents such as synthetic ghrelin and selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) seem promising in counteracting muscle abnormalities but their effectiveness in HF patients has not been assessed yet. In the last decades, many advances have been accomplished but sarcopenia remains an underdiagnosed pathology and more efforts are needed to find an efficacious therapeutic plan. The purpose of this review is to illustrate the current knowledge in terms of pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of sarcopenia in order to provide a better understanding of wasting disorders occurring in chronic heart failure.

description: This paper addresses the issue of generalization for Semantic Parsing in an adversarial framework. Building models that are more robust to inter-document variability is crucial for the integration of Semantic Parsing technologies in real applications. The underlying question throughout this study is whether adversarial learning can be used to train models on a higher level of abstraction in order to increase their robustness to lexical and stylistic variations.We propose to perform Semantic Parsing with a domain classification adversarial task without explicit knowledge of the domain. The strategy is first evaluated on a French corpus of encyclopedic documents, annotated with FrameNet, in an information retrieval perspective, then on PropBank Semantic Role Labeling task on the CoNLL-2005 benchmark. We show that adversarial learning increases all models generalization capabilities both on in and out-of-domain data.

GMRT detection of HI 21 cm associated absorption towards the z=1.2 red quasar 3C 190

description: We report the GMRT detection of associated HI 21 cm-line absorption in the z=1.1946 red quasar 3C 190. Most of the absorption is blue-shifted with respect to the systemic redshift. The absorption, at $\sim$ 647.7 MHz, is broad and complex, spanning a velocity width of $\sim$ 600 \kms. Since the core is self-absorbed at this frequency, the absorption is most likely towards the hotspots. Comparison of the radio and deep optical images reveal linear filaments in the optical which overlap with the brighter radio jet towards the south-west. We therefore suggest that most of the HI 21 cm-line absorption could be occurring in the atomic gas shocked by the south-west jet.

description: Morphisms in a monoidal category are usually interpreted as processes, and graphically depicted as square boxes. In practice, we are faced with the problem of interpreting what non-square boxes ought to represent in terms of the monoidal category and, more importantly, how should they be composed. Examples of this situation include lenses or learners. We propose a description of these non-square boxes, which we call open diagrams, using the monoidal bicategory of profunctors. A graphical coend calculus can then be used to reason about open diagrams and their compositions.

description: This is the first in a series of works devoted to small non-selfadjoint perturbations of selfadjoint $h$-pseudodifferential operators in dimension 2. In the present work we treat the case when the classical flow of the unperturbed part is periodic and the strength $ε$ of the perturbation is $\gg h$ (or sometimes only $\gg h^2$) and bounded from above by $h^δ$ for some $δ>0$. We get a complete asymptotic description of all eigenvalues in certain rectangles $[-1/C, 1/C]+ iε[F_0-1/C,F_0+1/C]$.

description: With regard to relapse and survival, early-stage high-grade serous ovarian (HGSOC) patients comprise a heterogeneous group and there is no clear consensus on first-line treatment. Currently, no prognostic markers are available for risk assessment by standard targeted immunohistochemistry and novel approaches are urgently required. Here, we applied MALDI-imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS), a new method to identify distinct mass profiles including protein signatures on paraffin-embedded tissue sections. In search of prognostic biomarker candidates, we compared proteomic profiles of primary tumor sections from early-stage HGSOC patients with either recurrent (RD) or non-recurrent disease (N = 4; each group) as a proof of concept study. In total, MALDI-IMS analysis resulted in 7537 spectra from the malignant tumor areas. Using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, 151 peptides were able to discriminate between patients with RD and non-RD (AUC > 0.6 or < 0.4; p < 0.01), and 13 of them could be annotated to proteins. Strongest expression levels of specific peptides linked to Keratin type1 and Collagen alpha-2(I) were observed and associated with poor prognosis (AUC > 0.7). These results confirm that in using IMS, we could identify new candidates to predict clinical outcome and treatment extent for patients with early-stage HGSOC.

description: We predict that nonlinear left-handed metamaterials can support both TE- and TM-polarized self-trapped localized beams, spatial electromagnetic solitons. Such solitons appear as single- and multi-hump beams, being either symmetric or antisymmetric, and they can exist due to the hysteresis-type magnetic nonlinearity and the effective domains of negative magnetic permeability.

title: Methacrylate homo and copolymers with controlled architecture as adhesive viscosity modifiers in UV curable ink-jet inks

description: Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) controlled polymerisation was used to prepare a range of methacrylate polymers;- poly(methyl methacylate) (PMMA), poly(n-butyl methacrylate) (PnBMA), poly(hexyl methacrylate) (PHMA) and poly(methyl methacrylate)-co-poly(n-butyl methacrylate) (PMMA-co-PnBMA) with a range of molecular weights. The resulting polymers were characterised by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and the molecular weights and distributions determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The viscosity modification ability and the effects on adhesion and wettability were evaluated. Polymers were dissolved into a UV-curable ink formulation composed of a pthalocyanine blue pigment dispersion, monomers n-vinyl caprolactam, phenoxy ethylacrylate and photo-sensitive initiators;- 1-hydroxy cyclohexyl phenyl ketone, acyl phosphine oxide and benzophenone. An evaluation of the surface energies and polar and dispersive components of a range of thermoplastic printing media was undertaken using static contact angle analysis. Dynamic contact angle and adhesion testing was performed on typical printing media of high and low surface energy (dynes cm-1). The addition of the PMMA, PnBMA and PMMA-co-PnBMA copolymer enabled control over viscosity both by concentration and molecular weight. PHMA provided minimal control over viscosity at 3 wt% addition with varying molecular weight. Improved adhesion to particular grades of polypropylene was achieved with the addition of PnBMA, however a reduction in adhesion to poly(vinyl chloride) was also observed. The low molecular weight PMMA-co-PnBMA copolymer at 3 wt% achieved marginal improvement in adhesion to the printing grades PP without detrimental effects to adhesion of the PVC grades. The effect on polymer architecture therefore, appears to have a significant effect on the level of adhesion achieved under the test conditions outlined within the project. Although a significant correlation between molecular weight and viscosity was observed no significant difference was detected between adhesion and molecular weight. Measured surface free energy (ys) using static contact angle is an effective method of determining the true surface characteristics of printing substrates; however this study determined that a correlation to high and low surface energy and good and poor adhesion is not easily identifiable.
