description: Current approaches for electric power generation from nanoscale conducting or semi-conducting layers in contact with moving aqueous droplets are promising as they show efficiencies of around 30 percent, yet, even the most successful ones pose challenges regarding fabrication and scaling. Here, we report stable, all-inorganic single-element structures synthesized in a single step that generate electrical current when alternating salinity gradients flow along its surface in a liquid flow cell. 10 nm to 30 nm thin nanolayers of iron, vanadium, or nickel produce several tens of mV and several microA cm^-2 at aqueous flow velocities of just a few cm s^-1. The principle of operation is strongly sensitive to charge-carrier motion in the thermal oxide nano-overlayer that forms spontaneously in air and then self terminates. Indeed, experiments suggest a role for intra-oxide electron transfer for Fe, V, and Ni nanolayers, as their thermal oxides contain several metal oxidation states, whereas controls using Al or Cr nanolayers, which self-terminate with oxides that are redox inactive under the experimental conditions, exhibit dramatically diminished performance. The nanolayers are shown to generate electrical current in various modes of application with moving liquids, including sliding liquid droplets, salinity gradients in a flowing liquid, and in the oscillatory motion of a liquid without a salinity gradient.

description: The ability to detect sparse signals from noisy high-dimensional data is a top priority in modern science and engineering. A sparse solution of the linear system $A ρ= b_0$ can be found efficiently with an $l_1$-norm minimization approach if the data is noiseless. Detection of the signal's support from data corrupted by noise is still a challenging problem, especially if the level of noise must be estimated. We propose a new efficient approach that does not require any parameter estimation. We introduce the Noise Collector (NC) matrix $C$ and solve an augmented system $A ρ+ C η= b_0 + e$, where $ e$ is the noise. We show that the $l_1$-norm minimal solution of the augmented system has zero false discovery rate for any level of noise and with probability that tends to one as the dimension of $ b_0$ increases to infinity. We also obtain exact support recovery if the noise is not too large, and develop a Fast Noise Collector Algorithm which makes the computational cost of solving the augmented system comparable to that of the original one. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the method in applications to passive array imaging.

description: Dimeric molecular motors walk on polar tracks by binding and hydrolyzing one ATP per step. Despite tremendous progress, the waiting state for ATP binding in the well-studied kinesin that walks on microtubule (MT), remains controversial. One experiment suggests that in the waiting state both heads are bound to the MT, while the other shows that ATP binds to the leading head after the partner head detaches. To discriminate between these two scenarios, we developed a theory to calculate accurately several experimentally measurable quantities as a function of ATP concentration and resistive force. In particular, we predict that measurement of the randomness parameter could discriminate between the two scenarios for the waiting state of kinesin, thereby resolving this standing controversy.

description: We present the experimental demonstration of the occurrence of exceptional points of degeneracy (EPDs) in a single resonator by introducing a linear time-periodic variation of one of its components, in contrast to EPDs in parity time (PT)-symmetric systems that require two coupled resonators with precise values of gain and loss. In the proposed scheme, only the tuning of the modulation frequency is required that is easily achieved in electronic systems. The EPD is a point in a system parameters' space at which two or more eigenstates coalesce, and this leads to unique properties not occurring at other non-degenerate operating points. We show theoretically and experimentally the existence of a second order EPD in a time-varying single resonator. Furthermore, we measure the sensitivity of the proposed system to a small structural perturbation and show that the operation of the system at an EPD dramatically boosts its sensitivity performance to very small perturbations. Also, we show experimentally how this unique sensitivity induced by an EPD can be used to devise new exceptionally-sensitive sensors based on a single resonator by simply applying time modulation.

description: The TAZ1 domain of CREB binding protein is crucial for transcriptional regulation and recognizes multiple targets. The interactions between TAZ1 and its specific targets are related to the cellular hypoxic negative feedback regulation. Previous experiments reported that one of the TAZ1 targets CITED2 is an efficient competitor of another target HIF-1α. Here by developing the structure-based models of TAZ1 complexes we have uncovered the underlying mechanisms of the competitions between HIF-1α and CITED2 binding to TAZ1. Our results are consistent with the experimental hypothesis on the competition mechanisms and the apparent affinity. In addition, the simulations prove the dominant position of forming TAZ1-CITED2 complex in both thermodynamics and kinetics. For thermodynamics, TAZ1-CITED2 is the lowest basin located on the free energy surface of binding in the ternary system. For kinetics, the results suggest that CITED2 binds to TAZ1 faster than HIF-1α. Besides, the analysis of contact map and f values in this study will be helpful for further experiments on TAZ1 systems.

description: Humans communicate, receive, and store information using sequences of items -- from words in a sentence or notes in music to abstract concepts in lectures and books. The networks formed by these items (nodes) and the sequential transitions between them (edges) encode important structural features of human communication and knowledge. But how do humans learn the networks of probabilistic transitions that underlie sequences of items? Moreover, what do people's internal maps of these networks look like? Here, we introduce graph learning, a growing and interdisciplinary field focused on studying how humans learn and represent networks in the world around them. We begin by describing established results from statistical learning showing that humans are adept at detecting differences in the transition probabilities between items in a sequence. We next present recent experiments that directly control for differences in transition probabilities, demonstrating that human behavior also depends critically on the abstract network structure of transitions. Finally, we present computational models that researchers have proposed to explain the effects of network structure on human behavior and cognition. Throughout, we highlight a number of exciting open questions in the study of graph learning that will require creative insights from cognitive scientists and network scientists alike.

description: The MyShake project aims to build a global smartphone seismic network to facilitate large-scale earthquake early warning and other applications by leveraging the power of crowdsourcing. The MyShake mobile application first detects earthquake shaking on a single phone. The earthquake is then confirmed on the MyShake servers using a "network detection" algorithm that is activated by multiple single-phone detections. In this part one of the two paper series, we present a network detection algorithm and a simulation platform to test earthquake scenarios at various locations around the world. The proposed network detection algorithm is built on the DBSCAN classic spatial clustering algorithm, with modifications to take temporal characteristics into account and the association of new triggers. We test our network detection algorithm using real data recorded by MyShake users during the M4.4 January 4th, 2018, Berkeley and the M5.2 June 10th, 2016, Borrego Springs earthquakes to demonstrate the system's utility. In order to test the entire detection procedure and to understand the first order performance of MyShake in various locations around the world representing different population and tectonic characteristics, we then present a software platform which can simulate earthquake triggers in hypothetical MyShake networks. Part two of this paper series explores our MyShake early warning simulation performance in selected regions around the world.

description: The MyShake project aims to build a global smartphone seismic network to facilitate large-scale earthquake early warning and other applications by leveraging the power of crowdsourcing. The MyShake mobile application first detects earthquake shaking on a single phone. The earthquake is then confirmed on the MyShake servers using a "network detection" algorithm that is activated by multiple single-phone detections. In part two of this two paper series, we report the first order performance of MyShake's Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) capability in various selected locations around the world. Due to the present sparseness of the MyShake network in most parts of the world, we use our simulation platform to understand and evaluate the system's performance in various tectonic settings. We assume that 0.1% of the population has the MyShake mobile application installed on their smartphone, and use historical earthquakes from the last 20 years to simulate triggering scenarios with different network configurations in various regions. Then, we run the detection algorithm with these simulated triggers to understand the performance of the system. The system performs best in regions featuring high population densities and onshore, upper crustal earthquakes M<7.0. In these cases, alerts can be generated ~4-6 sec after the origin time, magnitude errors are within ~0.5 magnitude units, and epicenters are typically within 10 km of true locations. When the events are offshore or in sparsely populated regions, the alerts are slower and the uncertainties in magnitude and location increase. Furthermore, even with 0.01% of the population as the MyShake users, in regions of high population density, the system still performs well for earthquakes larger than M5.5. For details of the simulation platform and the network detection algorithm, please see part one of this two paper series.

description: Problems of flexible mechanical metamaterials, and highly deformable porous solids in general, are rich and complex due to nonlinear mechanics and nontrivial geometrical effects. While numeric approaches are successful, analytic tools and conceptual frameworks are largely lacking. Using an analogy with electrostatics, and building on recent developments in a nonlinear geometric formulation of elasticity, we develop a formalism that maps the elastic problem into that of nonlinear interaction of elastic charges. This approach offers an intuitive conceptual framework, qualitatively explaining the linear response, the onset of mechanical instability and aspects of the post-instability state. Apart from intuition, the formalism also quantitatively reproduces full numeric simulations of several prototypical structures. Possible applications of the tools developed in this work for the study of ordered and disordered porous mechanical metamaterials are discussed.

description: Motivated by the rich phase diagrams recently unveiled in frustrated spin-1 chains with competing next-nearest neighbour and four-spin interactions, we investigate the nature of the elementary excitations of spin-1 chains in the vicinity of phase transitions using the matrix-product state (MPS) representation of elementary excitations. First, we show that both spinons and magnons naturally arise in SU(2) invariant spin chains when describing ground states and elementary excitations using MPS. Then we investigate the nature of the elementary excitations across the first-oder transition between the Haldane phase and the topologically trivial next-nearest neighbor Haldane phase. We show explicitly that spinons deconfine at the transition, and we calculate the dispersion of these deconfined spinons with MPS. We also show that, immediately away from the transition line, spinons confine, forming dispersive spinon/anti-spinon bound states on both sides of the transition. Finally, we show that deconfined spinons also appear at the transition between the Haldane phase and the spontaneously dimerized phase when this transition is first order.

description: In recent years the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have organized FluSight influenza forecasting competitions. To evaluate the participants' forecasts a multibin logarithmic score has been created, which is a non-standard variant of the established logarithmic score. Unlike the original log score, the multibin version is not proper and may thus encourage dishonest forecasting. We explore the practical consequences this may have, using forecasts from the 2016/17 FluSight competition for illustration.

title: Ursachen vergleichsweise schlechterer Bildungserfolge von MigrantInnen am Beispiel Hohenems
Creators: name: Manahl, Caroline
Year: 2010

description: Diese Arbeit untersucht ausgehend von Assimilationstheorien, die soziale Mobilität als zentrales Element eines erfolgreichen Integrationsprozesses betrachten und der Annahme, dass Bildung ein Mittel ist, diese zu erreichen, die Ursachen vergleichsweise schlechterer Bildungserfolge von MigrantInnen am Beispiel Hohenems (einer Gemeinde in Vorarlberg). Als mögliche Ursachen werden Sprache beziehungsweise Sprachdefizite von MigrantInnen, der sozioökonomische Hintergrund (in Form von Beruf, Bildung und Einkommen der Eltern), Diskriminierung individueller und institutioneller Natur sowie rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen und deren Entwicklung angenommen. Inwiefern diese Ursachen die Bildungsbenachteiligung von MigrantInnen erklären können, wird am Beispiel Hohenems anhand von ExpertInneninterviews überprüft. Die Auswertung der Interviews zeigt teilweise starke Widersprüche zwischen den getroffenen Aussagen und bisherigen Untersuchungen zum Thema Bildungsbeteiligung in Österreich. Daher ist zu vermuten, dass die Interviews wenig Aufschluss über die tatsächliche Wirkung der in Betracht gezogenen Faktoren geben, aber das Bewusstsein für mögliche Ursachen bei DirektorInnen, Eltern- und StadtvertreterInnen verdeutlichen. So ist bei den Interviewten die Tendenz erkennbar, vergleichsweise schlechtere Bildungserfolge von MigrantInnen auf individuelle Eigenschaften dieser (oder ihrer Eltern) zu interpretieren – wie den Sprachkenntnissen, dem Engagement der Eltern oder der Bedeutung, die diese der Bildung ihrer Kinder beimessen. Im Vergleich zu diesen Faktoren werden strukturelle Ursachen (wie der sozioökonomische Hintergrund) oder Auswirkungen des gesamtgesellschaftlichen Umfeldes (wie Vorurteile und Diskriminierung) in den Hintergrund gerückt. Eine Ausnahme bilden dabei negative Effekte des Bildungssystems, für die besonders bei den DirektorInnen sehr wohl ein Bewusstsein vorhanden ist. Im Leitbild der Stadt Hohenems werden die gesamtgesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen und ihre Bedeutung im Integrationsprozess trotzdem wiederholt unterstrichen. Zudem wird angedeutet, dass Probleme im Bildungsbereich nicht nur MigrantInnen betreffen. Somit wird in den Interviews den Effekten des sozioökonomischen Hintergrundes und des gesamtgesellschaftlichen Umfeldes im Vergleich zu individuellen Eigenschaften von MigrantInnen zwar wenig Bedeutung zugestanden, diese Dimensionen finden sich aber doch im Leitbild der Stadt wieder, auf welchem aufbauend konkrete Integrationsmaßnahmen entstehen sollen.

description: Self-organized pattern behavior is ubiquitous throughout nature, from fish schooling to collective cell dynamics during organism development. Qualitatively these patterns display impressive consistency, yet variability inevitably exists within pattern-forming systems on both microscopic and macroscopic scales. Quantifying variability and measuring pattern features can inform the underlying agent interactions and allow for predictive analyses. Nevertheless, current methods for analyzing patterns that arise from collective behavior only capture macroscopic features, or rely on either manual inspection or smoothing algorithms that lose the underlying agent-based nature of the data. Here we introduce methods based on topological data analysis and interpretable machine learning for quantifying both agent-level features and global pattern attributes on a large scale. Because the zebrafish is a model organism for skin pattern formation, we focus specifically on analyzing its skin patterns as a means of illustrating our approach. Using a recent agent-based model, we simulate thousands of wild-type and mutant zebrafish patterns and apply our methodology to better understand pattern variability in zebrafish. Our methodology is able to quantify the differential impact of stochasticity in cell interactions on wild-type and mutant patterns, and we use our methods to predict stripe and spot statistics as a function of varying cellular communication. Our work provides a new approach to automatically quantifying biological patterns and analyzing agent-based dynamics so that we can now answer critical questions in pattern formation at a much larger scale.

description: Many domains of science have developed complex simulations to describe phenomena of interest. While these simulations provide high-fidelity models, they are poorly suited for inference and lead to challenging inverse problems. We review the rapidly developing field of simulation-based inference and identify the forces giving new momentum to the field. Finally, we describe how the frontier is expanding so that a broad audience can appreciate the profound change these developments may have on science.

description: We investigate the synchronization behavior and the emergence of chimera states in a system of two interacting populations of maps possessing chaotic neural-like dynamics. We characterize four collective states on the space of coupling parameters of the system: complete synchronization, generalized synchronization, chimera states, and incoherence. We quantify the information exchange between the two neuron populations in chimera states. We have found a well-defined direction of the flow of information in chimera states, from the desynchronized population to the synchronized one. The incoherent population functions as a driver of the coherent neuron population in a chimera state. This feature is independent of the population sizes or population partitions. Our results yield insight into the communication mechanisms arising in brain processes such as unihemispheric sleep and epileptic seizures that have been associated to chimera states.

description: We proposed a framework for the topological classification of non-Hermitian systems. Different from previous $K$-theoretical approaches, our approach is a homotopy classification, which enables us to see more topological invariants. Specifically, we considered the classification of non-Hermitian systems with separable band structures. We found that the whole classification set is decomposed into several sectors based on the braiding of energy levels and characterized by some braid group data. Each sector can be further classified based on the topology of eigenstates (wave functions). Due to the interplay between energy levels braiding and eigenstates topology, we found some torsion invariants, which only appear in the non-Hermitian world via homotopical approach. We further proved that these new topological invariants are unstable (fragile), in the sense that adding more bands will trivialize these invariants.

UTILITY OF CALCIUM PHOSPHORUS RATIO IN THE PREDICTION OF NEOPLASIA IN AZOTEMIC HYPERCALCEMIC DOGS
Creators: name: McDaniel, Kaylyn
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2023

description: The objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate dogs with total hypercalcemia, azotemia, and normal serum phosphorus concentrations to determine if this constellation of laboratory abnormalities could predict neoplasia. A secondary aim was to determine if a calcium phosphorus ratio could be utilized to predict underlying neoplasia. A total of 129 dogs were included in the study. Seventy-three (56.6%) of the patients had presumed non-neoplastic disease and 56 (43.4%) had known neoplasia. Total hypercalcemia in this study confirmed previous associations of hypercalcemia with neoplasia, finding that in this population of dogs, the neoplastic group had a statistically significant higher total calcium that the non-neoplastic group. The other variables, azotemia and serum phosphorus, did not contribute significantly to the predication of neoplasia. A calcium phosphorus ratio has not been previously evaluated in veterinary medicine. For this study, an observation cutoff of 2.6 or greater was used for determining sensitivity and specificity between the neoplasia and non-neoplasia groups. The sensitivity and specificity of this ratio was low and thus makes it an unreliable tool to predict neoplasia in this specific study population.

description: Mean field games (MFG) and mean field control (MFC) are critical classes of multi-agent models for efficient analysis of massive populations of interacting agents. Their areas of application span topics in economics, finance, game theory, industrial engineering, crowd motion, and more. In this paper, we provide a flexible machine learning framework for the numerical solution of potential MFG and MFC models. State-of-the-art numerical methods for solving such problems utilize spatial discretization that leads to a curse-of-dimensionality. We approximately solve high-dimensional problems by combining Lagrangian and Eulerian viewpoints and leveraging recent advances from machine learning. More precisely, we work with a Lagrangian formulation of the problem and enforce the underlying Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation that is derived from the Eulerian formulation. Finally, a tailored neural network parameterization of the MFG/MFC solution helps us avoid any spatial discretization. Our numerical results include the approximate solution of 100-dimensional instances of optimal transport and crowd motion problems on a standard work station and a validation using an Eulerian solver in two dimensions. These results open the door to much-anticipated applications of MFG and MFC models that were beyond reach with existing numerical methods.

title: Geschlechterrollenbilder in Thea von Harbous Roman "Metropolis"
Creators: name: Auferbauer, Gabriele Margarethe
Year: 2010

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Geschlechterrollenbilder im Roman „Metropolis“ Thea von Harbous. Ausgehend von der allgemeinen Grundthese der sozialen (Re-)Konstruktion von Geschlecht wird dabei der Fragestellung nachgegangen, welche Frauen- und Männerbilder in dem literarischen Werk „Metropolis“ repräsentiert werden und welche Geschlechterkonzepte diese implizieren. Es wird dabei die These aufgestellt, dass sich sämtliche für die Handlung mehr oder weniger relevanten Figuren eindeutig in einem dichotomen Zwei-Geschlechter-Modell verorten lassen und mit stereotypen Geschlechterrollenbildern belegt sind, sowie dass diese Verortung Grundlage für Differenzen in der literarischen Rollengestaltung ist. Die Fragestellung erstreckt sich auf die im Text erfolgte Darstellung und Beschreibung der Geschlechter sowie auf die den jeweiligen Figuren zugeschriebene Rolle in Bezug auf die Narration. In der Auseinandersetzung mit den in das Werk eingeflossenen Geschlechterrollenbildern wird dabei auch auf die (nicht nur symbolischen) Geschlechterbeziehungen eingegangen, um den Bezug zum binären Mann-Frau-Schema und den traditionellen Rollenbildern zu erörtern. Als Analyseinstrumente werden Methoden aus Erzähltheorie und -grammatik eingesetzt. Bei den hier zum Tragen kommenden Ansätzen, die in Kombination sowohl diskursive als auch narrative Strukturen berücksichtigen, handelt es sich um das Konzept der Figureninformation aus dem Kontext der Figurenanalyse sowie um Elemente aus Algirdas Julien Greimas’ Aktantenmodell. Anhand der ausgewählten Methoden sowie der formulierten Fragestellung und Thesen lässt sich bereits eine (post-)strukturalistische bzw. dekonstruktivistische theoretische Fundierung erkennen, wobei sich durch den Aspekt der Geschlechterrollen ein Konnex zu den Gender Studies ergibt, welche von jeher inter- bzw. transdisziplinär angelegt sind.

description: In this paper, we study the problem of hybrid event-triggered control for a class of nonlinear time-delay systems. Using a Razumikhin-type input-to-state stability result for time-delay systems, we design an event-triggered control algorithm to stabilize the given time-delay system. In order to exclude Zeno behavior, we combine the impulsive control mechanism with our event-triggered strategy. In this sense, the proposed algorithm is a hybrid impulsive and event-triggered strategy. Sufficient conditions for the stabilization of the nonlinear systems with time delay are obtained by using Lyapunov method and Razumikhin technique. Numerical simulations are provided to show the effectiveness of our theoretical results.

description: Plato envisioned Earth's building blocks as cubes, a shape rarely found in nature. The solar system is littered, however, with distorted polyhedra -- shards of rock and ice produced by ubiquitous fragmentation. We apply the theory of convex mosaics to show that the average geometry of natural 2D fragments, from mud cracks to Earth's tectonic plates, has two attractors: "Platonic" quadrangles and "Voronoi" hexagons. In 3D the Platonic attractor is dominant: remarkably, the average shape of natural rock fragments is cuboid. When viewed through the lens of convex mosaics, natural fragments are indeed geometric shadows of Plato's forms. Simulations show that generic binary breakup drives all mosaics toward the Platonic attractor, explaining the ubiquity of cuboid averages. Deviations from binary fracture produce more exotic patterns that are genetically linked to the formative stress field. We compute the universal pattern generator establishing this link, for 2D and 3D fragmentation.
