description: We provide a complete elaboration of the $L^2$-Hilbert space hypocoercivity theorem for the degenerate Langevin dynamics with multiplicative noise, studying the longtime behaviour of the strongly continuous contraction semigroup solving the abstract Cauchy problem for the associated backward Kolmogorov operator. Hypocoercivity for the Langevin dynamics with constant diffusion matrix was proven previously by Dolbeault, Mouhot and Schmeiser in the corresponding Fokker-Planck framework, and made rigorous in the Kolmogorov backwards setting by Grothaus and Stilgenbauer. We extend these results to weakly differentiable diffusion coefficient matrices, introducing multiplicative noise for the corresponding stochastic differential equation. The rate of convergence is explicitly computed depending on the choice of these coefficients and the potential giving the outer force. In order to obtain a solution to the abstract Cauchy problem, we first prove essential self-adjointness of non-degenerate elliptic Dirichlet operators on Hilbert spaces, using prior elliptic regularity results and techniques from Bogachev, Krylov and Röckner. We apply operator perturbation theory to obtain essential m-dissipativity of the Kolmogorov operator, extending the m-dissipativity results from Conrad and Grothaus. We emphasize that the chosen Kolmogorov approach is natural, as the theory of generalized Dirichlet forms implies a stochastic representation of the Langevin semigroup as the transition kernel of a diffusion process which provides a martingale solution to the Langevin equation with multiplicative noise. Moreover, we show that even a weak solution is obtained this way.

description: Genomic selection (GS) provides an attractive option for accelerating genetic gain in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) improvement given the long cycle times of most current breeding programs. The present study used simulation to investigate the level of genetic gain and inbreeding obtained from GS breeding strategies compared with traditional breeding strategies for key traits (persistency, yield, and flowering time). Base population genomes were simulated through random mating for 60,000 generations at an effective population size of 10,000. The degree of linkage disequilibrium (LD) in the resulting population was compared with that obtained from empirical studies. Initial parental varieties were simulated to match diversity of current commercial cultivars. Genomic selection was designed to fit into a company breeding program at two selection points in the breeding cycle (spaced plants and miniplot). Genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) for productivity traits were trained with phenotypes and genotypes from plots. Accuracy of GEBVs was 0.24 for persistency and 0.36 for yield for single plants, while for plots it was lower (0.17 and 0.19, respectively). Higher accuracy of GEBVs was obtained for flowering time (up to 0.7), partially as a result of the larger reference population size that was available from the clonal row stage. The availability of GEBVs permit a 4-yr reduction in cycle time, which led to at least a doubling and trebling genetic gain for persistency and yield, respectively, than the traditional program. However, a higher rate of inbreeding per cycle among varieties was also observed for the GS strategy.

description: High-dimensional data sets are often analyzed and explored via the construction of a latent low-dimensional space which enables convenient visualization and efficient predictive modeling or clustering. For complex data structures, linear dimensionality reduction techniques like PCA may not be sufficiently flexible to enable low-dimensional representation. Non-linear dimension reduction techniques, like kernel PCA and autoencoders, suffer from loss of interpretability since each latent variable is dependent of all input dimensions. To address this limitation, we here present path lasso penalized autoencoders. This structured regularization enhances interpretability by penalizing each path through the encoder from an input to a latent variable, thus restricting how many input variables are represented in each latent dimension. Our algorithm uses a group lasso penalty and non-negative matrix factorization to construct a sparse, non-linear latent representation. We compare the path lasso regularized autoencoder to PCA, sparse PCA, autoencoders and sparse autoencoders on real and simulated data sets. We show that the algorithm exhibits much lower reconstruction errors than sparse PCA and parameter-wise lasso regularized autoencoders for low-dimensional representations. Moreover, path lasso representations provide a more accurate reconstruction match, i.e. preserved relative distance between objects in the original and reconstructed spaces.

title: Teachers, Play, and Narrative Sandboxes: A Collective Case Study of Teachers' Perceptions of Narrative-Based Educational Gameplay
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University

description: Through a collective case study, the researcher explored the perspectives of teachers who actively implemented narrative-based gameplay in their classrooms to various degrees and in various forms to understand how and why these teachers used gameplay including their perceptions regarding what kinds of game components were influential at motivating and engaging students to learn. This study drew on semi-structured interviews and an analysis of artifacts (e.g., lesson plans, journal entries, projects). The researcher described how each participant characterized narrative, educational gameplay, their motivation to implement gameplay into their classrooms, and their perceptions of which game components were most effective in motivating students to engage in the learning process. The researcher concluded with a discussion of the implications of their findings in the field of educational gameplay. Qualitative findings highlight teachers’ perceptions regarding how their personal histories influenced their implementation. Also, teachers indicated that role-play, collaboration, and choice are three components that lead to motivation and engagement. Lastly, teachers indicated that since narrative-based games are not implemented because they explicitly deliver educational content in a traditional way, paper-based assessments such as multiple-choice tests may not be appropriate for assessing learning.

description: In this short note, we prove an asymptotic expansion for the ratio of the Dirichlet density to the multivariate normal density with the same mean and covariance matrix. The expansion is then used to derive an upper bound on the total variation between the corresponding probability measures and rederive the asymptotic variance of the Dirichlet kernel estimators introduced by Aitchison & Lauder (1985) and studied theoretically in Ouimet (2020). Another potential application related to the asymptotic equivalence between the Gaussian variance regression problem and the Gaussian white noise problem is briefly mentioned but left open for future research.

description: Aims: To isolate and characterise phage which could lyse P. acnes and to formulate the phage into a delivery form for potential application in topical treatment of acne infection. Methods and Results: Using standard phage isolation techniques, ten phage capable of lysing P. acnes were isolated from human skin microflora. Their genomes showed high homology to previously reported P. acnes phage. These phage were formulated into cetomacrogol cream aqueous at a concentration of 2.5×108 PFU per gram, and shown to lyse underlying P. acnes cells grown as lawn cultures. These phage formulations remained active for at least 90 days when stored at four degrees Celsius in a light protected container. Conclusions: P. acnes phage formulated into cetomacrogol cream aqueous will lyse surrounding and underlying P. acnes bacteria, and are effective for at least 90 days if stored appropriately. Significance and Impact of the Study: There are few reports of phage formulation into semi solid preparations for application as phage therapy. The formulation method described here could potentially be applied topically to treat human acne infections. The potential exists for this model to be extended to other phage applied to treat other bacterial skin infections.

description: We characterize under what conditions $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices $A_1$ and $A_2$ have the property that the spectrum of $\cos t A_1 + \sin t A_2$ is independent of $t$ (thus, the trigonometric pencil $\cos t A_1 + \sin t A_2$ is isospectral). One of the characterizations requires the first $\lceil \frac{n}{2} \rceil$ higher rank numerical ranges of the matrix $A_1+iA_2$ to be circular disks with center 0. Finding the unitary similarity between $\cos t A_1 + \sin t A_2$ and, say, $A_1$ involves finding a solution to Lax's equation.

description: Question: Is there a dose-response effect of exercise on inflammation, fatigue and activity in cancer survivors? Design: Systematic review with meta-regression analysis of randomised trials. Participants: Adults diagnosed with cancer, regardless of specific diagnosis or treatment. Intervention: Exercise interventions including aerobic and/or resistance as a key component. Outcome measures: The primary outcome measures were markers of inflammation (including C-reactive protein and interleukins) and various measures of fatigue. The secondary outcomes were: measures of activity, as defined by the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, including activities of daily living and measures of functional mobility (eg, 6-minute walk test, timed sit-to-stand and stair-climb tests). Risk of bias was evaluated using the PEDro scale, and overall quality of evidence was assessed using the Grades of Research, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. Results: Forty-two trials involving 3816 participants were included. There was very low-quality to moderate-quality evidence that exercise results in significant reductions in fatigue (SMD 0.32, 95% CI 0.13 to 0.52) and increased walking endurance (SMD 0.77, 95% CI 0.26 to 1.28). A significant negative association was found between aerobic exercise intensity and fatigue reduction. A peak effect was found for moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for improving walking endurance. No dose-response relationship was found between exercise and markers of inflammation or exercise duration and outcomes. Rates of adherence were typically high and few adverse events were reported. Conclusions: Exercise is safe, reduces fatigue and increases endurance in cancer survivors. The results support the recommendation of prescribing moderate-intensity aerobic exercise to reduce fatigue and improve activity in people with cancer. Review registration: PROSPERO CRD42015019164.

description: Efficient methods for loading given classical data into quantum circuits are essential for various quantum algorithms. In this paper, we propose an algorithm called Approximate Amplitude Encoding that can effectively load all the components of a given real-valued data vector into the amplitude of quantum state, while the previous proposal can only load the absolute values of those components. The key of our algorithm is to variationally train a shallow parameterized quantum circuit, using the results of two types of measurement; the standard computational-basis measurement plus the measurement in the Hadamard-transformed basis, introduced in order to handle the sign of the data components. The variational algorithm changes the circuit parameters so as to minimize the sum of two costs corresponding to those two measurement basis, both of which are given by the efficiently-computable maximum mean discrepancy. We also consider the problem of constructing the singular value decomposition entropy via the stock market dataset to give a financial market indicator; a quantum algorithm (the variational singular value decomposition algorithm) is known to produce a solution faster than classical, which yet requires the sign-dependent amplitude encoding. We demonstrate, with an in-depth numerical analysis, that our algorithm realizes loading of time-series of real stock prices on quantum state with small approximation error, and thereby it enables constructing an indicator of the financial market based on the stock prices.

description: Quantum coherence, a basic feature of quantum mechanics residing in superpositions of quantum states, is a resource for quantum information processing. Coherence emerges in a fundamentally different way for nonidentical and identical particles, in that for the latter a unique contribution exists linked to indistinguishability which cannot occur for nonidentical particles. We experimentally demonstrate by an optical setup this additional contribution to quantum coherence, showing that its amount directly depends on the degree of indistinguishability and exploiting it to run a quantum phase discrimination protocol. Furthermore, the designed setup allows for simulating Fermionic particles with photons, thus assessing the role of particle statistics (Bosons or Fermions) in coherence generation and utilization. Our experiment proves that independent indistinguishable particles can supply a controllable resource of coherence for quantum metrology.

description: We analyze the stochastic proximal subgradient descent in the case where the objective functions are path differentiable and verify a Sard-type condition. While the accumulation set may not be reduced to unique point, we show that the time spent by the iterates to move from one accumulation point to another goes to infinity. An oscillation-type behavior of the drift is established. These results show a strong stability property of the proximal subgradient descent. Using the theory of closed measures, Bolte, Pauwels and Ríos-Zertuche established this type of behavior for the deterministic subgradient descent. Our technique of proof relies on the classical works on stochastic approximation of differential inclusions, which allows us to extend results in the deterministic case to a stochastic and proximal setting, as well as to treat these different cases in a unified manner.

description: We present an iterative near-field in-line phase contrast method that allows quantitative determination of the thickness of an object given the refractive index of the sample material. The iterative method allows for quantitative phase contrast imaging in regimes where the contrast transfer function (CTF) and transport of intensity equation (TIE) cannot be applied. Further, the nature of the iterative scheme offers more flexibility and potentially allows more high-resolution image reconstructions when compared to TIE method and less artefacts when compared to the CTF method. While, not addressed here, extension of our approach in future work to broadband illumination will also be straightforward as the wavelength dependence of the refractive index of an object can be readily incorporated into the iterative approach.

description: Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) affects 5.7 million Americans. White button mushrooms (WBMs) are considered an antioxidant due to their high source of selenium and have been shown to promote nerve growth factors (NGFs). Selenoproteins, particularly Selenoproteins M (SelM) and P (SelP), are an integral part of memory consolidation and preservation in mouse models. J20/hAPP transgenic mice and wildtype (C57BL/6J) mice were fed a 10% WBM feed three times per week to yield a 5% total diet of WBMs. Behavioral tests were conducted at 3.5 months and 8 months of age. During MWM, J20 mice on the WBM diet at 8 months of age were faster at reaching the platform compared to J20 mice on the control diet (p<0.014). In Western blots, J20 mice on the WBM diet had the greatest density of SelP compared to the other groups (p<0.015).

description: Halide perovskites make efficient solar cells due to their exceptional optoelectronic properties, but suffer from several stability issues. The characterization of the degradation processes is challenging because of the limitations in the spatio-temporal resolution in experiments and the absence of efficient computational methods to study the reactive processes. Here, we present the first effort in developing reactive force fields for large scale molecular dynamics simulations of the phase instability and the defect-induced degradation reactions in inorganic CsPbI$_{3}$. We find that the phase transitions are driven by a combination of the anharmonicity of the perovskite lattice with the thermal entropy. At relatively low temperatures, the Cs cations tend to move away from the preferential positions with good contacts with the surrounding metal halide framework, potentially causing its conversion to a non-perovskite phase. Our simulations of defective structures reveal that, although both iodine vacancies and interstitials are very mobile in the perovskite lattice, the vacancies have a detrimental effect on the stability, initiating the decomposition reactions of perovskites to PbI$_{2}$. Our work puts ReaxFF forward as an effective computational framework to study reactive processes in halide perovskites.

description: Subversion of host cell apoptotic responses is a prominent feature of viral immune evasion strategies to prevent premature clearance of infected cells. Numerous poxviruses encode structural and functional homologs of the Bcl-2 family of proteins, and vaccinia virus harbors antiapoptotic F1L that potently inhibits the mitochondrial apoptotic checkpoint. Recently F1L has been assigned a caspase-9 inhibitory function attributed to an N-terminal helical region of F1L spanning residues 1-15 (1) preceding the domain-swapped Bcl-2-like domains. Using a reconstituted caspase inhibition assay in yeast we found that unlike AcP35, a well characterized caspase-9 inhibitor from the insect virus Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus, F1L does not prevent caspase-9-mediated yeast cell death. Furthermore, we found that deletion of the F1L N-terminal region does not impede F1L antiapoptotic activity in the context of a viral infection. Solution analysis of the F1L N-terminal regions using small angle x-ray scattering indicates that the region of F1L spanning residues 1-50 located N-terminally from the Bcl-2 fold is an intrinsically unstructured region. We conclude that the N terminus of F1L is not involved in apoptosis inhibition and may act as a regulatory element in other signaling pathways in a manner reminiscent of other unstructured regulatory elements commonly found in mammalian prosurvival Bcl-2 members including Bcl-xL and Mcl-1.

description: Although Appalachian clogging has been studied and explored in depth with regards to early history and supposed beginnings of the dance form, little has been done to consider the spread of clogging to areas outside of the Appalachian region of the United States. In investigating the more recent movement of clogging to states like Utah, as well as the current styles and forms of clogging, I explore how dancers today negotiate changing ideas about tradition, identity, and community. I show that this uniquely American dance form continues to develop and change in similar patterns to its initial evolution. I argue that the footwork, movement styles, costuming, shoes, music, performance and competition involved in clogging today is a manifestation of how individuals use heritage and tradition to form an identity and create a community. Past and present Appalachian clogging practice is a reflection of how tradition is both a resource and a process.

description: We present a general methodology to construct triplewise independent sequences of random variables having a common but arbitrary marginal distribution $F$ (satisfying very mild conditions). For two specific sequences, we obtain in closed form the asymptotic distribution of the sample mean. It is non-Gaussian (and depends on the specific choice of $F$). This allows us to illustrate the extent of the 'failure' of the classical central limit theorem (CLT) under triplewise independence. Our methodology is simple and can also be used to create, for any integer $K$, new $K$-tuplewise independent sequences that are not mutually independent. For $K \geq 4$, it appears that the sequences created using our methodology do verify a CLT, and we explain heuristically why this is the case.

description: © 2016, Springer International Publishing. Defensins are a well-characterised group of small, disulphide-rich, cationic peptides that are produced by essentially all eukaryotes and are highly diverse in their sequences and structures. Most display broad range antimicrobial activity at low micromolar concentrations, whereas others have other diverse roles, including cell signalling (e.g. immune cell recruitment, self/non-self-recognition), ion channel perturbation, toxic functions, and enzyme inhibition. The defensins consist of two superfamilies, each derived from an independent evolutionary origin, which have subsequently undergone extensive divergent evolution in their sequence, structure and function. Referred to as the cis- and trans-defensin superfamilies, they are classified based on their secondary structure orientation, cysteine motifs and disulphide bond connectivities, tertiary structure similarities and precursor gene sequence. The utility of displaying loops on a stable, compact, disulphide-rich core has been exploited by evolution on multiple occasions. The defensin superfamilies represent a case where the ensuing convergent evolution of sequence, structure and function has been particularly extreme. Here, we discuss the extent, causes and significance of these convergent features, drawing examples from across the eukaryotes.

description: Background: The psychological wellbeing of people with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) may be negatively affected due to the chronic and transmissible nature of the disease, and possible serious complications (e.g. cirrhosis and liver cancer). There are limited data investigating concerns and anxieties among people living with CHB. Objectives: This study examined feelings about having hepatitis B among people with CHB, including hepatitis B-related concerns and anxieties. Patients and Methods: Using convenience sampling, people with CHB attending four public liver clinics and one general practice in three Australian jurisdictions between April and September 2013 completed a self-administered questionnaire about their feelings about having hepatitis B. Results: Ninety-three people completed the survey. Mean age was 45 years, 57% were men, and 93% were born overseas (75% from Asia). Seventy-six percent of participants reported having hepatitis B-related concerns and anxieties. The most common concerns were of developing liver cancer (57%), and infecting other people (53%). Thirty-five percent of participants were unwilling to talk to anyone about their hepatitis B while 25% changed how they lived as a result of having hepatitis B. Lower educational level was associated with feeling scared of hepatitis B (adjusted Odds Ratio [OR]: 4.04; 95%CI: 1.09, 14.90; P = 0.04), and an unwillingness to talk to anyone about hepatitis B (adjusted OR: 4.41; 95%CI: 1.09, 17.83; P = 0.04). Very good English proficiency was associated with a higher likelihood of participants changing how they lived (adjusted OR: 12.66; 95%CI: 2.21, 72.42; P < 0.01), and seeing life differently as a result of having hepatitis B (adjusted OR: 21.10; 95%CI: 3.70, 120.19; P < 0.01). Health professionals were the key person for 34% of participants in helping them cope with having hepatitis B, while 18% reported that no one supported them. Conclusions: Hepatitis B-related concerns and anxieties are prevalent among people with CHB. Clinical management of people with CHB must address their psychological support needs as an essential component of comprehensive care.
ИЗМЕНЕНИЯ СЛИЗИСТОЙ ОБОЛОЧКИ ПОЛОСТИ РТА ПРИ ТРОФИЧЕСКИХ ЯЗВАХ У ПАЦИЕНТОВ, БОЛЕВШИХ  COVID-19

description: COVID-19 представляет собой серьезную угрозу для глобального здоровья человека [6,9]. У многих пациентов после перенесенной пневмонии, ассоциированной COVID-19, отмечается формирование трофических язв на слизистой оболочке полости рта (СОПР) [1]. Практически у каждого второго пациента (48%), перенесшего  COVID-19, отмечалось появление язв на щеках. Больные при этом предъявляли жалобы на боль, при разговоре, жевании и глотании [2,10]. Наиболее частыми участками поражения трофических язв на СОПР были язык (38%), слизистая оболочка губ (26%), небо (22%), десна (8%), слизистая оболочка щеки (5%), ротоглотка (4%) и миндалины (1%) [3]. Cпектр проявлений SARS - CoV-2 в полости рта вызывает интерес, при этом инфицируются клетки альвеолярного эпителия типа II (AE2) [ 8]. Рецептор ангиотензин-превращающего фермента (ACE2) экспрессируется в 0,52% клетках полости рта, из которых 95,86%  обнаруживается в эпителиальных клетках языка [4]. Гипоксия легких стимулирует рост факультативных анаэробов, происходящих из микробиоты полости рта  [7]. Язык (боковая граница) является наиболее частым участком, где формируется трофическая язва, за которым следуют твердое небо и слизистая оболочка щеки. [5].

description: This manuscript explores a new class of non-autonomous second-order stochastic inclusions of Clarke's subdifferential form with non-instantaneous impulses (NIIs), unbounded delay and the Rosenblatt process in Hilbert spaces. The existence of a solution is deduced by employing a fixed point strategy for a set-valued map together with the evolution operator and stochastic analysis approach. An example is analyzed for theoretical developments.

description: Concomitant traumatic brain injury (TBI) and long bone fracture are commonly observed in multitrauma and polytrauma. Despite clinical observations of enhanced bone healing in patients with TBI, the relationship between TBI and fracture healing remains poorly understood, with clinical data limited by the presence of several confounding variables. Here we developed a novel trauma model featuring closed-skull weight-drop TBI and concomitant tibial fracture in order to investigate the effect of TBI on fracture healing. Male mice were assigned into Fracture + Sham TBI (FX) or Fracture + TBI (MULTI) groups and sacrificed at 21 and 35 days post-injury for analysis of healing fractures by micro computed tomography (μCT) and histomorphometry. μCT analysis revealed calluses from MULTI mice had a greater bone and total tissue volume, and displayed higher mean polar moment of inertia when compared to calluses from FX mice at 21 days post-injury. Histomorphometric results demonstrated an increased amount of trabecular bone in MULTI calluses at 21 days post-injury. These findings indicate that closed head TBI results in calluses that are larger in size and have an increased bone volume, which is consistent with the notion that TBI induces the formation of a more robust callus.

description: In this paper, we propose a dual-mixed formulation for stationary viscoplastic flows with yield, such as the Bingham or the Herschel-Bulkley flow. The approach is based on a Huber regularization of the viscosity term and a two-fold saddle point nonlinear operator equation for the resulting weak formulation. We provide the uniqueness of solutions for the continuous formulation and propose a discrete scheme based on Arnold-Falk-Winther finite elements. The discretization scheme yields a system of slantly differentiable nonlinear equations, for which a semismooth Newton algorithm is proposed and implemented. Local superlinear convergence of the method is also proved. Finally, we perform several numerical experiments in two and three dimensions to investigate the behavior and efficiency of the method.

description: I make photographs as an inquiry into the existential questions of reality, identity, and the beliefs put in place by the individual. This thesis describes the photographic series of works leading up to and the installation of Some Things I Can't Explain, a photographic and sound installation examining the transformation of going from the known to the unknown. This Daedalean journey contrasts beauty against loss. The installation creates a multi-sensory experience of floating by combining two complimentary elements -- the large-scale delicate silk photographs coupled with sounds of indistinguishable conversations, and a mechanical hum filling a low-lighted room. The installation dwarfs the viewer, recreating a singular struggle with our emotions -- an experience we all share.
