Multiscale Strategies for Computing Optimal Transport
Creators: name: Gerber, Samuel

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper presents a multiscale approach to efficiently compute approximate optimal transport plans between point sets. It is particularly well-suited for point sets that are in high-dimensions, but are close to being intrinsically low-dimensional. The approach is based on an adaptive multiscale decomposition of the point sets. The multiscale decomposition yields a sequence of optimal transport problems, that are solved in a top-to-bottom fashion from the coarsest to the finest scale. We provide numerical evidence that this multiscale approach scales approximately linearly, in time and memory, in the number of nodes, instead of quadratically or worse for a direct solution. Empirically, the multiscale approach results in less than one percent relative error in the objective function. Furthermore, the multiscale plans constructed are of interest by themselves as they may be used to introduce novel features and notions of distances between point sets. An analysis of sets of brain MRI based on optimal transport distances illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed method on a real world data set. The application demonstrates that multiscale optimal transport distances have the potential to improve on state-of-the-art metrics currently used in computational anatomy.

description: We review our recent proposal for a new lattice action for non-abelian gauge theories which reduces short-range lattice artifacts in the computation of the topological susceptibility. The standard Wilson action is replaced by the Wilson action of a gauge covariant interpolation of the original fields to a finer lattice. We illustrate the improved behavior of a same-philosophy new lattice action in the $O(3)$ $σ$-model in two dimensions.

description: We present the first direct determination of meson-baryon resonance parameters from a scattering amplitude calculated using lattice QCD. In particular, we calculate the elastic $I=3/2$, $p$-wave nucleon-pion amplitude on a single ensemble of $N_{\mathrm{f}}=2+1$ Wilson-clover fermions with $m_π=280\mathrm{MeV}$ and $m_{K}=460\mathrm{MeV}$. At these quark masses, the $Δ(1232)$ resonance pole is found close to the $N-π$ threshold and a Breit-Wigner fit to the amplitude gives $g^{\mathrm{BW}}_{ΔNπ}=19.0(4.7)$ in agreement with phenomenological determinations.

description: Researchers have noted the persistent challenges that underrepresented faculty still encounter in higher education. For example, female and ethnic minority faculty members continue to experience barriers in achieving tenure and promotion. In spite of efforts to increase their presence and visibility, structural barriers account for the continued under representation of these minority faculty. Within this context, this study investigated the perceptions of underrepresented faculty regarding their participation in annual national conferences conducted by the leading professional association for Educational Leadership faculty. Three research questions guided this study: (1) What are the perceptions of underrepresented Educational Leadership faculty members regarding their experiences at their Association's annual national conferences? (2) How do these perceptions relate to their career advancement and professional development as professors of Educational Leadership? (3) What differences, if any, are reflected in the perceptions of assistant, associate, and full professors; and what factors are associated with these differences? Participant observations and open-ended interviews during two of the Association's annual conferences were the primary data collection methods. Conference activities included governance meetings, general assemblies, scheduled meetings, roundtable discussions, paper presentations, symposia, and informal evening receptions. Data were gathered from 18 participants: nine underrepresented Educational Leadership faculty and nine non-underrepresented faculty [i.e., Anglo male]. The professorial rank of participants ranged from pre-tenured assistant professor to full professor. Data were analyzed using a phenomenological approach that enabled the researcher to explore in depth the lived experiences of participants. Results are presented in the form of three "composite" personal narratives representing a synthesis of perceptions of underrepresented faculty members at the assistant, associate, and full professor levels. One "amalgamated" portrait is of a young African-American male who recently received his Ph.D.; another is of a 45-year-old White female tenured associate professor; and the third is of a nationally known Latina full professor. Results suggest that issues of inclusion, exclusion, status, recognition, gender, identity construction, reference groups, specialized development and treatment, and racial diversity were challenges faced by the participants.

description: We suggest scattering experiments which implement the concept of ``protective measurements'' allowing the measurement of the complete wave function even when only one quantum system (rather than an ensemble) is available. Such scattering experiments require massive, slow, projectiles with kinetic energies lower than the first excitation of the system in question. The results of such experiments can have a (probabilistic) distribution (as is the case when the Born approximation for the scattering is valid) or be deterministic (in a semi-classical limit).

description: An important class of real-world networks have directed edges, and in addition, some rank ordering on the nodes, for instance the "popularity" of users in online social networks. Yet, nearly all research related to explosive percolation has been restricted to undirected networks. Furthermore, information on such rank ordered networks typically flows from higher ranked to lower ranked individuals, such as follower relations, replies and retweets on Twitter. Here we introduce a simple percolation process on an ordered, directed network where edges are added monotonically with respect to the rank ordering. We show with a numerical approach that the emergence of a dominant strongly connected component appears to be discontinuous. Large scale connectivity occurs at very high density compared with most percolation processes, and this holds not just for the strongly connected component structure but for the weakly connected component structure as well. We present analysis with branching processes which explains this unusual behavior and gives basic intuition for the underlying mechanisms. We also show that before the emergence of a dominant strongly connected component, multiple giant strongly connected components may exist simultaneously. By adding a competitive percolation rule with a small bias to link uses of similar rank, we show this leads to formation of two distinct components, one of high ranked users, and one of low ranked users, with little flow between the two components.

Subjects: Human-Computer Interaction

description: One of the problems studied in human-computer interaction (HCI) research is the design of interfaces to improve user information selection and processing performance. Based on prior research findings this study proposes that information selection performance can be improved by using supplementary cues to encode information in interface design. The research is motivated by cue-summation theory and research findings on parallel and associative processing. Color and information location are proposed as relevant, supplementary cues that can improve processing performance by enhancing reliance on faster parallel, and automatic associative processing. This dissertation describes a set of laboratory experiments in which both color and information location are employed as supplementary cues in two different contexts. The first study explores the use of these cues in a customer account management application and the results suggest that color and location cues significantly improve information selection and processing speed, along with user satisfaction, with the best results obtained when both cues are used. The results of the second study, conducted in an emergency response setting, support these findings and elaborate on the conditions under which the use of these cues is the most effective. The studies suggest that the use of these cues becomes more beneficial as time pressure and complexity increase, as both color-coding and location-ordering are capable of decreasing the detrimental effects these task characteristics create. Based on the results of these studies, it is proposed that supplementary cues should always be considered in interface design and that managers making adoption decisions should be cognizant of these design considerations. Implications and suggested future directions are also reviewed.

description: Stellar streams - formed through the tidal disruptions and gravitational instabilities of dwarf galaxies and star clusters - can tell us about the nature of their progenitors as well as the distribution of mass inside their orbits. The Southern Stream Stellar Spectroscopic Survey (S5) employs the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) to study stellar streams, using photometric and proper-motion data to identify candidate member stars and AAT spectra to obtain radial velocities and abundance information. Work done by S5 has explored stream membership, orbit models and progenitors in great detail. S5 also takes high resolution followup spectra for confirmed stream members to analyse their detailed properties and better understand the evolutionary processes of progenitor dwarf galaxies and globular clusters. This thesis presents the results of an in-depth study and membership analysis of a metal-poor, distant stellar stream originally found and discussed in the Dark Energy Survey footprint: Elqui. Previouswork using the line of sight velocity and metallicity dispersions of the streams showed that Elqui had most likely originated as an ultrafaint dwarf galaxy. We perform a detailed kinematic, chemical and membership analysis of the stream, estimating the total mass and luminosity to understand the properties of the initial progenitor dwarf galaxy. Elqui exhibits a metallicity range of [Fe/H] = -3.2 to -1.19 and has an estimated mass of 3.77 × 104  +2.8×103  −2.4×102 𝑀⊙. Elqui also likely experiences perturbations from the gravitational influences of the Large Magellanic Cloud and the bar of the Milky Way.

description: Spectral manifestations of hybrid Tamm-microcavity modes in a 1D photonic crystal bounded with a silver layer and containing a nematic liquid crystal layer working as a microcavity have been studied using numerical simulation. It is demonstrated that the hybrid modes can be effectively tuned owing to the high sensitivity of the liquid crystal to the temperature and external electric field variations. It is established that the effect of temperature on the transmission spectrum of the investigated structure is most pronounced at the point of the phase transition of the liquid crystal to the isotropic state, where the refractive index jump is observed.

description: Molecular Cloud Complexes (MCCs) are highly structured and ``turbulent''. Observational evidence suggests that MCCs are dynamically dominated systems, rather than quasi-equilibrium entities. The observed structure is more likely a consequence of the formation process rather than something that is imprinted after the formation of the MCC. Converging flows provide a natural mechanism to generate MCC structure. We present a detailed numerical analysis of this scenario. Our study addresses the evolution of a MCC from its birth in colliding atomic hydrogen flows up until the point when H$_2$ may begin to form. A combination of dynamical and thermal instabilities breaks up coherent flows efficiently, seeding the small-scale non-linear density perturbations necessary for local gravitational collapse and thus allowing (close to) instantaneous star formation. Many observed properties of MCCs come as a natural consequence of this formation scenario. Since converging flows are omnipresent in the ISM, we discuss the general applicability of this mechanism, from local star formation regions to galaxy mergers.

On the construction of nonnegative symmetric and normal matrices with prescribed spectral data

Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Non-negative matrices

description: Nonnegative matrices appear in many branches of mathematics, as well as in applications to other disciplines such as economics, computer science, and chemistry. Since the inception of the fundamental results by Perron and Frobenius, the area of nonnegative matrices have been a fertile field for research. In this dissertation, we consider the problem of reconstructing a nonnegative symmetric or normal matrix based on a knowledge of spectral data. Specifically, our exposition is centered around two facets of the just-mentioned problem. First, we consider symmetric matrices with spectrum [sigma] = {[lamba]1, [lamba]2, . . . , [lamba]n} and corresponding orthonormal set of eigenvectors s1, s2, . . . , sn, such that successive spectral decompositions are nonnegative: Xti=1[lamba]isisTi ? 0, t = 1, . . . , k. We determine the zero-nonzero structure of the si's which correspond to positive [lamba]i's, and provide a complete characterization of the si's in case the above holds for [lamba]1 = [lamba]2 = = [lamba]t = 1 for t = 1, . . . , n. The resulting orthogonal matrices S = [s1, s2, . . . , sn], which we call here extended Soules matrices, are then a generalization of the well-studied class of Soules matrices (henceforth called classical Soules matrices). Among other results, we also prove each extended Soules matrix is the limit of a sequence of classical Soules matrices, and that the rank of symmetric matrices whose eigenvectors form an extended Soules matrix is equal to the cp-rank of the matrix. The other associated problem is that of characterizing the set of potential [lamba]i's, where [lamba]1 ? [lamba]2 ? ? [lamba]n ? 0, such that the above partial sum nonnegativity is accomplished for a given fixed set s1, s2, . . . , sn. We provide some initial results in this direction, as well as an example of how such an analysis would proceed using certain orthogonal Hadamard matrices. Second, we consider the nonnegative (nonsymmetric) normal inverse eigenvalue problem (NNIEP), which is the problem of determining necessary and sufficient conditions on a list [sigma] of complex numbers such that [sigma] is the spectrum of a nonnegative normal matrix. We give a summary of some known necessary and sufficient conditions for the NNIEP, and present some preliminary results using the somewhat new technique of analyzing the eigenvectors of certain skew-symmetric matrices, and using the result to construct solution matrices for the NNIEP. Using this technique, we are able to give the strongest possible result for the NNIEP for 3 3 matrices, and make some progress on the NNIEP for 4 4 matrices. That our approach has promise is evidenced by the nonnegative normal matrix we construct whose spectrum is [sigma] = {12?2, ?12, 12 + i, 12 ? i}, even though [sigma] satisfies none of the currently known sufficient conditions for the NNIEP.

Subjects: Forest policy -- United States

description: Throughout the United States, social efforts to regulate privately owned natural resources generate ongoing controversy. Debates swirl regarding just how far public interests can or should extend into the private domain. Using the State of Washington's Forest Practices Act (FPA) and an associated policy tool called the 'Alternate Plan option' as examples, this study examines the possibility that a significant portion of the social controversy may be arising, not through any deeply rooted social objection to the principle of regulation, but from structural inadequacies in forest regulatory policies. The Forests Practices Rules and related policy instruments enabled by the FPA are among the most comprehensive and innovative in the United States, and provide an excellent test case for stakeholder feedback regarding policy design. The study analyzes society's changing perceptions regarding the regulation of privately owned natural resources, and the related public and private rights that pertain to them. Its findings reveal that unequal regulatory impacts among forest owners are a significant and inherent problem of private forest regulation. Primary causes of this phenomenon are identified and analyzed, and solution pathways for mitigation strategies, alternative policy tools, and improvements to the process of information exchange between natural resource management professionals and private forest owners are suggested and discussed. The study concludes with specific recommendations for a multi-faceted approach that can help policymakers modify and improve private forest regulation.

description: This letter shows that the flexible association of possibly multiple base stations (BSs) to each user over multiple frequency bands, along with the joint optimization of BS transmit power that encourages the turning-off of the BSs at off-peak time, can significantly improve the performance of a downlink heterogeneous wireless cellular network. We propose a gradient projection algorithm for optimizing BS association and an iteratively reweighting scheme together with a novel proximal gradient method for optimizing power in order to find the optimal tradeoff between network utility and power consumption. Simulation results reveal significant performance improvement as compared to the conventional single-BS association.
The effects of ecological characteristics on drunk driving in the United States
Creators: name: Rookey, Bryan David
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Drunk driving -- United States

description: This dissertation is written in a two-article format consisting of two journal length papers preceded by a short introduction and description of the next steps related to this research. The population-based analyses presented in both papers are based on cross-sectional information compiled from a variety of official agencies that disseminate county-level data including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and U.S. Census Bureau, among others. This collection of data is well suited to describe and explain the subnational distribution of drunk driving (DUI) across counties in the United States. The first paper aims to understand whether alcohol markets, population characteristics and formal DUI-control account for differences in DUI rates across counties. Findings suggest greater numbers of drinking places per capita are associated with lower rates of DUI enforcement and lower rates of DUI behavior. Traditional indicators of social disorganization that have been used widely to explain systematic variation in crime rates across areas appear to be only moderately useful in explaining variation in DUI. Officials should exercise caution when implementing county-wide policies that reduce the number of bars and taverns. Alcohol markets, population characteristics, and DUI laws are valuable in explaining why the pattern of DUI enforcement does not match the distribution of DUI behavior across counties in the United States. The second paper investigates how differences in formal legal factors, such as open container laws, seat-belt laws, and strength of the police force, and informal non-legal factors, such as normative climates towards drinking, are related to variation in DUI rates across counties. Findings suggest that normative climates toward drinking account for some of the variation in rates DUI enforcement and DUI behavior, independent of formal legal factors. While laws and formal DUI-control are related to variation in DUI, the overall findings of this dissertation highlight the importance and value of ecological characteristics belonging to people and places in explaining differences in DUI rates across the United States.

A simple model for the size-evolution of elliptical galaxies

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We use semi-analytical modelling of galaxy formation to predict the redshift-size-evolution of elliptical galaxies. Using a simple model in which relative sizes of elliptical galaxies of a given mass correlate with the fraction of stars formed in a star burst during a major merger event, we are able to reproduce the observed size redshif t evolution. The size evolution is a result of the amount of cold gas available during the major merger. Mergers at high redshifts are gas-rich and produce ellipticals with smaller sizes. In particular we find a power-law relation between the sizes at different redshifts, with the power-law index giving a measure of the relative amount of dissipation during the mergers that lead to the formation of an elliptical. The size evolution is found to be stronger for more massive galaxies as they involve more gas at high redshifts when they form compared to less massive ellipticals. Local ellipticals more massive than $5 \times 10^{11}$ M$_{\odot}$ will be approximately 4 times larger than their counterparts at $z=2$. Our results indicate that the scatter in the size of similar massive present day elliptical galaxies is a result of their formation epoch, with smaller ellipticals being formed earlier.

description: The critical properties of the abelian Polyakov loop and the Polyakov loop in terms of Dirac string are studied in finite temperature abelian projected $SU(2)$ QCD. We evaluate the critical point and the critical exponents from each Polyakov loop in the maximally abelian gauge using the finite-size scaling analysis. Abelian dominance in this case is proved quantitatively. The critical point of each abelian Polyakov loop is equal to that of the non-abelian Polyakov loop within the statistical errors. Also, the critical exponents are in good agreement with those from non-abelian Polyakov loops.

description: Two studies evaluated the validity of a new measure of impulsivity titled the Risk Seeking and Response Inhibition Scales. This measure was derived from a two-factor theory of impulsivity and was designed to replace the questionnaires currently used in the impulsivity literature. The first study demonstrated good concurrent and discriminant validity with existing measures of impulsivity. Furthermore, marginal external validity was shown through correlations with measures of compulsive buying, alcohol problems and gambling problems. In the second study, structural models were constructed to measure the new scales' ability to predict two experimental decision making tasks, the Iowa Gambling Task and Balloon Analogue Risk Task. These models demonstrated some validity, but also highlighted some of the weaknesses still present in the new measure. Further refinement is needed before the subscales can adequately replace currently used measures. However, these studies demonstrate that a replacement is still very much needed.

description: Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST) have measured the value of the Planck constant to be $h =6.626\,069\,934(89)\times 10^{-34}\,$J$\,$s (relative standard uncertainty $13\times 10^{-9}$). The result is based on over 10$\,$000 weighings of masses with nominal values ranging from 0.5$\,$kg to 2$\,$kg with the Kibble balance NIST-4. The uncertainty has been reduced by more than twofold relative to a previous determination because of three factors: (1) a much larger data set than previously available, allowing a more realistic, and smaller, Type A evaluation; (2) a more comprehensive measurement of the back action of the weighing current on the magnet by weighing masses up to 2$\,$kg, decreasing the uncertainty associated with magnet non-linearity; (3) a rigorous investigation of the dependence of the geometric factor on the coil velocity reducing the uncertainty assigned to time-dependent leakage of current in the coil.

Active stabilisation, quantum computation and quantum state synthesis

description: Active stabilisation of a quantum system is the active suppression of noise (such as decoherence) in the system, without disrupting its unitary evolution. Quantum error correction suggests the possibility of achieving this, but only if the recovery network can suppress more noise than it introduces. A general method of constructing such networks is proposed, which gives a substantial improvement over previous fault tolerant designs. The construction permits quantum error correction to be understood as essentially quantum state synthesis. An approximate analysis implies that algorithms involving very many computational steps on a quantum computer can thus be made possible.

description: --Nadasi'ne' nde' isdzane begoz'aahi' shimaa shini' gokal gow goshjaa ha'ana'idii texas-nakaiye godesdzog, [Translation: Returning Lipan Apache Women's Laws, Lands, & Power in El Calaboz Rancheria, Texas-Mexico Border], documents nineteen generations (1546- 2009) of Nde (Lipan Apache), Tlaxcalteca, Nahuatl Noble, and Basque colonials in the Indigenous-Texas-Mexico borderlands. Indigenous women's genealogies are traced, exposing the intersections of colonization, governmentality, legal challenges, slavery, exploitative labor, militarization and resistances. This dissertation re-imagines a critical interdisciplinary dialogue between Native American Studies, Indigenous Studies, American Studies, History, Critical Legal Studies, Gender Studies, and Border Studies. In 2007, Indigenous peoples in El Calaboz Rancheria challenged the U.S. border wall along the Texas-Mexico border as a violation of human rights and constitutional law. The community's resistance to the state's will to dispossess them of ancestral lands, owned communally through aboriginal and Crown Land Grant title, inspired the investigations by Indigenous women to untangle their community's legal, social, economic and political histories in land-tenure along the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Their challenges to the state's use of sovereignty and militarization exposed how the government naturalized the border wall within the discourse of development. However, their legal investigation unburied centuries of legal disputations between Indigenous peoples and more than one sovereign. Indigenous women's analysis of the border wall excavated a longer history of sovereignty and state violence as interlocking tools to normalize dispossession. Drawing from colonial archives, genealogical records, community documents, photographs, government documents, and interviews of El Calaboz Rancheri?a, from the clans of Lipan Apaches and their kinship relationships, this dissertation recovers Indigenous perspectives and principles related to dispossession and genocide resistance against four governments, across five centuries: Spain, Mexico, Texas and the U.S. This project is both historical and critical memory recovery which challenge normative conceptions of Native American and Indigenous genocide history.

description: The rolling process is a complex real-world problem which requires adequate handling and analysis. During the production of strips, plates or coils, a huge amount of data is generated which can be used to optimize the process. The description of the process is done with so-called process models which are regular software programs. It is shown in this thesis that data-driven surrogate based optimization is an excellent method for improving even complex processes. The optimization procedure was tested with data of an aluminum roughing mill to optimize flow curve parameters for an unknown material. The tremendous improvement which was observed during the optimization was also validated with real process data. Residual prediction inaccuracies will still be observable for all kind of analytical models, even after optimization. To reduce these residuals, online algorithms are used. The most promising candidate for all rolling datasets was the online SVR algorithm, which was extended to fit the requirements for real-world processes. These extensions included strategies for handling infinite datasets, the management of the stored data and online parameter optimization. Furthermore, the thesis provides strategies for handling categorical variables. It is shown that all online algorithms outperform their offline variant and that the online SVR achieves the best results on these data. The application of the developed algorithms is not limited to the hot rolling process and can directly be applied to other real-world processes.
Bruising profile of fresh 'Golden Delicious' apples

description: It is important to understand how apples bruise in order to prevent or reduce bruising. Tissue from 'Golden Delicious' apples was analyzed to determine the bruising mechanism at different maturity levels. Bruising was induced by an artificial finger attached to an Instron machine applying an external load to fresh picked 'Golden Delicious' apples. To understand the bruising mechanism involved, we used fluorescence microscopy with Calcofluor fluorescent dye to identify cell walls and CDFA to identify cell membranes in the bruised and discolored tissue. Together with SEM, different breakage mechanisms were observed in the bruised area. We observed that 48 hours following damage, the bruised tissue was comprised of dead and live cells, burst, crushed and intact cells. The more intercellular space there was in the tissue, the more tissue damage occurred. Airspaces were the weakest points in the tissue structure, and damage initiated in those points. As apples matured, there was an increase in damaged cells surrounding larger intercellular spaces.

description: Let $π$ be a cuspidal automorphic representation of $PGL_2(\mathbb{A}_\mathbb{Q})$ of arithmetic conductor $C$ and archimedean parameter $T$, and let $ϕ$ be an $L^2$-normalized automorphic form in the space of $π$. The sup-norm problem asks for bounds on $\| ϕ\|_\infty$ in terms of $C$ and $T$. The quantum unique ergodicity (QUE) problem concerns the limiting behavior of the $L^2$-mass $|ϕ|^2 (g) \, d g$ of $ϕ$. All previous work on these problems in the conductor-aspect has focused on the case that $ϕ$ is a newform. In this work, we study these problems for a class of automorphic forms that are not newforms. Precisely, we assume that for each prime divisor $p$ of $C$, the local component $π_p$ is supercuspidal (and satisfies some additional technical hypotheses), and consider automorphic forms $ϕ$ for which the local components $ϕ_p \in π_p$ are "minimal" vectors. Such vectors may be understood as non-archimedean analogues of lowest weight vectors in holomorphic discrete series representations of $PGL_2(\mathbb{R})$. For automorphic forms as above, we prove a sup-norm bound that is sharper than what is known in the newform case. In particular, if $π_\infty$ is a holomorphic discrete series of lowest weight $k$, we obtain the optimal bound $C^{1/8 -ε} k^{1/4 - ε} \ll_ε |ϕ|_\infty \ll_ε C^{1/8 + ε} k^{1/4+ε}$. We prove also that these forms give analytic test vectors for the QUE period, thereby demonstrating the equivalence between the strong QUE and the subconvexity problems for this class of vectors. This finding contrasts the known failure of this equivalence for newforms of powerful level.

description: We report the detection of HCO+(1-0) emission towards the Cloverleaf quasar (z=2.56) through observations with the Very Large Array. This is the first detection of ionized molecular gas emission at high redshift (z>2). HCO+ emission is a star formation indicator similar to HCN, tracing dense molecular hydrogen gas (n(H_2) ~= 10^5 cm^{-3}) within star-forming molecular clouds. We derive a lensing-corrected HCO+ line luminosity of L'(HCO+) = 3.5 x 10^9 K km/s pc^2. Combining our new results with CO and HCN measurements from the literature, we find a HCO+/CO luminosity ratio of 0.08 and a HCO+/HCN luminosity ratio of 0.8. These ratios fall within the scatter of the same relationships found for low-z star-forming galaxies. However, a HCO+/HCN luminosity ratio close to unity would not be expected for the Cloverleaf if the recently suggested relation between this ratio and the far-infrared luminosity were to hold. We conclude that a ratio between HCO+ and HCN luminosity close to 1 is likely due to the fact that the emission from both lines is optically thick and thermalized and emerges from dense regions of similar volumes. The CO, HCN and HCO+ luminosities suggest that the Cloverleaf is a composite AGN--starburst system, in agreement with the previous finding that about 20% of the total infrared luminosity in this system results from dust heated by star formation rather than heating by the AGN. We conclude that HCO+ is potentially a good tracer for dense molecular gas at high redshift.

description: Relevance of the topic. Diffuse toxic goiter is a genetically determined autoimmune disease with a congenital defect of the immune system. With diffuse toxic goiter, the secretion of the thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) increases, which often leads to thyrotoxicosis. Thyrotoxicosis is a clinical syndrome characterized by a persistent and prolonged increase in the level of thyroid hormones in the blood, which is caused by hyperstimulation of the thyroid gland by antibodies to the pituitary thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor.
