description: The wood of Xanthoceras sorbifolium (XS) is used in ethnomedicine to treat bone pain. Osteoporosis is among the causes that may result in bone pain. XS was extracted with supercritical CO2 to obtain a fraction CDF and XS residue; The XS residue was extracted by refluxing with ethanol, and the ethanol extract was concentrated to obtain a supernatant fraction (ES) and a precipitate fraction (EP); the major chemical components the fractions were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. ES and EP effectively counteracted the dexa­methasone-induced delay in the calcification of zebrafish and promoted the differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. ES upregulated oestrogen receptor 1 and osteocalcin, while EP downregulated myc proto-oncogene, matrix metalloproteinases 9, preproinsulin, and interleukin 6, promoting bone formation. ES and CDF decreased the abnormal aggregation of neutrophils. ES and EP’s primary components also exhibited anti-osteoporotic activity, with myricetin demonstrating the strongest anti-osteoporotic effect.

Year: 2025

description: Zunehmend schnellere Veränderungen in der Gesellschaft, Herausforderungen wie Fachkräftemangel und steigende Anforderungen an Führungskräfte machen Ansätze nötig,
welche die Potentiale der Mitarbeitenden erkennen und fördern. Die vorliegende Masterarbeit untersucht, wie der lösungsorientierte Ansatz (LOA) in einer sozialen Institution entwickelt und
in der Führungsarbeit eingesetzt werden kann. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, ein Führungskonzept zu entwerfen, welches die Prinzipien aus dem LOA integriert und die Mitarbeitenden sowie die
Institution stärkt.
Die Arbeit befasst sich mit der zentralen Fragestellung: Mit welchem Führungskonzept lässt sich Lösungsorientierung im Wohnhaus Glyzinie entwickeln bzw. stärken? Ergänzend wurden Unterfragen zu geeigneten LOA-Instrumenten, notwendigen Begleitmassnahmen und Eignung sowie Grenzen des Ansatzes untersucht.
Der theoretische Teil zeigt anhand Shazer und Dolan (2015), Godat (2016) und Mussmann (2015) Grundlagen des LOA auf und schlägt über die Begriffe Führung, Menschenbild und Führungsstil den Bogen zur Anwendung des LOA in der Führung. Im empirischen Teil werden im Rahmen eines qualitativen Ansatzes zuerst exploratorische Interviews mit Experten aus zwei Praxisvorbildern durchgeführt, um mögliche Anwendungen von LOA in der Führung einer sozialen Institution zu erkunden. Ein anschliessender Workshop mit einem Team des Wohnhaus Glyzinie erhebt den Bedarf und formuliert Ansatzpunkte für die Anwendung von LOA. Aufgrund der empirischen Ergebnisse wird der Entwurf eines Führungskonzepts erarbeitet. Anschliessende konfirmatorische Interviews mit erfahrenen
Anwendern des LOA im sozialen Kontext dienen dazu, das Führungskonzept zu reflektieren
und weiterzuentwickeln. Die Auswertung der empirischen Ergebnisse anhand einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse zeigen Herausforderungen und Chancen in der Umsetzung des
lösungsorientierten Ansatzes in der Führung auf.
Die Arbeit liefert den Entwurf eines Konzepts, welches zur Entwicklung von LOA im Wohnhaus Glyzinie betragen kann. Sie zeigt, dass der lösungsorientierte Ansatz (LOA) ein effektives
Führungsmodell für soziale Institutionen darstellen kann und das Potential hat, eine Institution
als Ganzes nachhaltig weiterzuentwickeln. Die sieben Hauptinstrumente nach Godat (2016)
können die Entwicklung und Umsetzung von LOA im Führungsalltag im Wohnhaus Glyzinie
unterstützen.

￼￼The Compositional Variation Of Small Bodies Across The Solar System

description: Small bodies hold keys to our understanding of the Solar System. By studying these populations we seek the information on the conditions and structure of the primordial and current Solar System, its evolution, and the formation process of the planets. Constraining the surface composition of small bodies provides us with the ingredients and proportions for this cosmic recipe. This thesis, comprised of studies of inner and outer Solar System small bodies, is dedicated to understanding the compositional gradient across the Solar System through spectroscopic and photometric measurements.

I present a taxonomy of visible and near-infrared spectral data based on 371 asteroid spectra. The taxonomy consists of 24 classes that best categorize the spectral variation seen among inner Solar System small bodies. From the creation of this taxonomy we learn that with only visible wavelength data there is uncertainty in shape of the 1-μm band. While near-infrared wavelength range is excellent for interpreting data containing diagnostic 1- and 2-μm bands, the more subtly featured C- and X-complexes appear to be largely degenerate in this wavelength regime.

I analyze the photometric colors of 23 Transneptunian Objects and Centaurs, nine of which have never been previously observed, and assign them taxonomic classifications. I discuss objects that either have changed classes from previous data or have significant changes in absolute magnitude. Furthermore, I interpret the surface composition of three outer Solar System small bodies, Jupiter-coupled object (52872) Okyrhoe, and TNOs (90482) Orcus and (73480) 2002 PN34, by modeling spectroscopic measurements in the visible and near-infrared wavelength ranges. The spectra reveal varying amounts of H2O ice among these bodies. For Orcus I provide rough constraints for the presence of materials more volatile than water ice.

I present a search for solid ethane, C2H6, on the surfaces of Pluto and Triton, based on near-infrared spectral observations. I model each surface using a radiative transfer model based on Hapke theory (Hapke, 1993) with three basic models: without ethane, with pure ethane, and with ethane diluted in nitrogen. While the presence of less than a few percent of ethane cannot be excluded on both bodies, there is no strong detection on either.

Finally, I review the current knowledge of the compositional distribution of material in our Solar System, providing the global view of small bodies. I particularly focus on the presence of water in all its phases which is especially pertinent our understanding of our own planet, Earth, and the life on it. I briefly compare the general structure of our Solar System to other imaged debris disks to put into perspective the detailed, though narrow, view of our own Solar System with the broad, low resolution view of others.

description: In this paper, we introduce an algorithm for extracting topological data from translation invariant generalized Pauli stabilizer codes in two-dimensional systems, focusing on the analysis of anyon excitations and string operators. The algorithm applies to $\mathbb{Z}_d$ qudits, including instances where $d$ is a nonprime number. This capability allows the identification of topological orders that differ from the $\mathbb{Z}_d$ toric codes. It extends our understanding beyond the established theorem that Pauli stabilizer codes for $\mathbb{Z}_p$ qudits (with $p$ being a prime) are equivalent to finite copies of $\mathbb{Z}_p$ toric codes and trivial stabilizers. The algorithm is designed to determine all anyons and their string operators, enabling the computation of their fusion rules, topological spins, and braiding statistics. The method converts the identification of topological orders into computational tasks, including Gaussian elimination, the Hermite normal form, and the Smith normal form of truncated Laurent polynomials. Furthermore, the algorithm provides a systematic approach for studying quantum error-correcting codes. We apply it to various codes, such as self-dual CSS quantum codes modified from the 2d honeycomb color code and non-CSS quantum codes that contain the double semion topological order or the six-semion topological order.

Unlearnable Games and "Satisficing'' Decisions: A Simple Model for a Complex World

description: As a schematic model of the complexity economic agents are confronted with, we introduce the ``SK-game'', a discrete time binary choice model inspired from mean-field spin-glasses. We show that even in a completely static environment, agents are unable to learn collectively-optimal strategies. This is either because the learning process gets trapped in a sub-optimal fixed point, or because learning never converges and leads to a never ending evolution of agents intentions. Contrarily to the hope that learning might save the standard ``rational expectation'' framework in economics, we argue that complex situations are generically unlearnable and agents must do with satisficing solutions, as argued long ago by Herbert Simon (Simon 1955). Only a centralized, omniscient agent endowed with enormous computing power could qualify to determine the optimal strategy of all agents. Using a mix of analytical arguments and numerical simulations, we find that (i) long memory of past rewards is beneficial to learning whereas over-reaction to recent past is detrimental and leads to cycles or chaos; (ii) increased competition destabilizes fixed points and leads first to chaos and, in the high competition limit, to quasi-cycles; (iii) some amount of randomness in the learning process, perhaps paradoxically, allows the system to reach better collective decisions; (iv) non-stationary, ``aging'' behaviour spontaneously emerge in a large swath of parameter space of our complex but static world. On the positive side, we find that the learning process allows cooperative systems to coordinate around satisficing solutions with rather high (but markedly sub-optimal) average reward. However, hyper-sensitivity to the game parameters makes it impossible to predict ex ante who will be better or worse off in our stylized economy.

description: There exists a growing discourse around the domination of Big Tech on the landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) research, yet our comprehension of this phenomenon remains cursory. This paper aims to broaden and deepen our understanding of Big Tech's reach and power within AI research. It highlights the dominance not merely in terms of sheer publication volume but rather in the propagation of new ideas or memes. Current studies often oversimplify the concept of influence to the share of affiliations in academic papers, typically sourced from limited databases such as arXiv or specific academic conferences.
 The main goal of this paper is to unravel the specific nuances of such influence, determining which AI ideas are predominantly driven by Big Tech entities. By employing network and memetic analysis on AI-oriented paper abstracts and their citation network, we are able to grasp a deeper insight into this phenomenon. By utilizing two databases: OpenAlex and S2ORC, we are able to perform such analysis on a much bigger scale than previous attempts.
 Our findings suggest that while Big Tech-affiliated papers are disproportionately more cited in some areas, the most cited papers are those affiliated with both Big Tech and Academia. Focusing on the most contagious memes, their attribution to specific affiliation groups (Big Tech, Academia, mixed affiliation) seems equally distributed between those three groups. This suggests that the notion of Big Tech domination over AI research is oversimplified in the discourse.

description: Rutin (RT), an antioxidant drug, has been utilized to treat cerebral ischemia hence a sensitive quantification method for estimation of RT in brain homogenate is necessary to develop. This study aims to prepare RT loaded Chitosan Nanoparticles (RT-CS-NPs) develop and validate ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-synapt mass spectrometric method Synapt Mass Spectrometry (Synapt MS) (UHPLC/ESI-QTOF-MS/MS) for quantification of RT in brain homogenate from Wistar rat. The process of chromatographic separation was carried out on Waters ACQUITY UPLC™ with the components of separation in detail as; column: BEH C-18 with dimension as 2.1 mm×100 mm and particle size 1.7 µm, mobile phase: acetonitrile (85 % v/v/v): 2 mM ammonium formate (15 % v/v/v): formic acid (0.1 % v/v/v) and flow rate: 0.25 mL/min. Liquid-liquid extraction method (LLE), in mixture, i.e. ethyl acetate:acetonitrile, was considered to optimize the recovery of analyte from the brain homogenate of Wistar rat. Over a total run time of 5 minutes, the elution time for RT and internal standard (IS), i.e. Tolbutamide, observed was 2.67 and 2.82 min respectively whereas the transition observed for RT and IS was at m/z 611.1023/303.1071 and 271.1263/155.1073, respectively. Results, regarding various processes and parameters studied for RT as summarized, established a linear dynamic range over a concentration range of 1.00 ng/mL - 1000.0 ng/mL with r2; 0.9991±0.0010. Accuracy for intra and inter-assay in terms of % CV revealed a range of 0.45- 2.11 whereas lower limit of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) observed was 0.09 ng/mL and 0.142 ng/mL, respectively. The analyte stability as well as method specificity and accuracy, i.e. recovery > 86 %, supports the idea for application of current developed method in order to quantify and evaluate the RT-loaded-CS-NPs for RT determination in brain homogenate after intranasal drug delivery.

description: Generalized measurements, also called positive operator-valued measures (POVMs), can offer advantages over projective measurements in various quantum information tasks. Here, we realize a generalized measurement of one and two superconducting qubits with high fidelity and in a single experimental setting. To do so, we propose a hybrid method, the "Naimark-terminated binary tree," based on a hybridization of Naimark's dilation and binary tree techniques that leverages emerging hardware capabilities for mid-circuit measurements and feed-forward control. Furthermore, we showcase a highly effective use of approximate compiling to enhance POVM fidelity in noisy conditions. We argue that our hybrid method scales better toward larger system sizes than its constituent methods and demonstrate its advantage by performing detector tomography of symmetric, informationally complete POVM (SIC-POVM). Detector fidelity is further improved through a composite error mitigation strategy that incorporates twirling and a newly devised conditional readout error mitigation. Looking forward, we expect improvements in approximate compilation and hardware noise for dynamic circuits to enable generalized measurements of larger multi-qubit POVMs on superconducting qubits.

description: We present the mean field solution of the quantum and classical Heisenberg spin glasses, using the combination of a high precision numerical solution of the Parisi full replica symmetry breaking equations and a continuous time Quantum Monte Carlo. We characterize the spin glass order and its low-energy excitations down to zero temperature. The Heisenberg spin glass has a rougher energy landscape than its Ising analogue, and exhibits a very slow temperature evolution of its dynamical properties. We extend our analysis to the doped, metallic Heisenberg spin glass, which displays an unexpectedly slow spin dynamics reflecting the proximity to the melting quantum critical point and its associated Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Planckian dynamics.

Nationalistische Protestanten? Einblicke am Beispiel der schleswig-holsteinischen Pastoren der NS-Zeit
Creators: name: Hertz, Helge-Fabien

description: Wie positionierten sich Pastoren im ‚Dritten Reich‘ zum Konzept des Nationalismus? Der vorliegende Beitrag geht dieser Frage anhand aller 729 Pastoren der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Landeskirche Schleswig-Holsteins während der NS-Zeit nach. ‚Volk‘ und ‚Vaterland‘ erwiesen sich als zentrale Kategorien des Pfarramtes, wie es insbesondere in der Verkündigung erkennbar wurde. Hierin lag eine Verbindungslinie zur NS-Weltanschauung begründet, in der das rassisch definierte ‚deutsche Volk‘ zentraler Dreh- und Angelpunkt war. Um die mannigfaltigen Bezugnahmen der Pastoren auf die Konzepte ‚Volk‘ und ‚Vaterland‘ präzise analysieren zu können, wurde zwischen verschiedenen Inhaltsbereichen unterschieden, von denen einer beispielhaft ausgeleuchtet wird: ‚Nationalismus‘, verstanden als relationale Überhöhungen des eigenen ‚Volkes‘. Häufige Motive waren die Propagierung eines über die eigenen Reichsgrenzen hinausgehenden Volksbegriffs, die Vorbereitung und Begleitung volkstumspolitischer Maßnahmen des NS-Staates sowie deren nachträgliche Glorifizierung. Etliche Pastoren bedienten diese und weitere Motive in ihrer Verkündigung – auch etliche Mitglieder der Bekennenden Kirche. Gegenstimmen blieben die Ausnahme. Besonderes Gewicht erhält dieser Befund vor dem Hintergrund des pastoralen Amtseinflusses: Geistliche fungierten als Multiplikatoren in Bezug auf gesellschaftliche Mentalitäten.

description: One of the elementary properties of quasar activity is continuous variability in the UV/optical bands. The power spectral density (PSD) potentially contains information about the underlying processes connected to variability. We applied a novel method based on continuous-time autoregressive moving average (CARMA) models (Kelly et al. 2014) to derive the PSD even for irregularly sampled light curves. Using a sample of ~100 X-ray selected non-local QSOs from the XMM-COSMOS catalog and optical light curves provided by the Pan-STARRS1 MDF survey we find that the PSD resembles a broken power-law with a high-frequency slope significantly steeper than observed in X-ray studies. The PSD normalization is observed to scale inversely with bolometric luminosity and Eddington ratio, whereas there is no correlation between the characteristic bend timescale and black hole mass. We find a weak tendency for QSOs with higher black hole mass to have steeper high-frequency PSD slopes. In an ongoing work we extend these studies employing a sample of ~700 variable broad-line QSOs with high-quality black hole mass estimates and well-sampled light curves from the SDSS-RM project.
Royal Conservatoire of Scotland contemporary guitar projects. The composer and the performer : an intertwined relationship
Creators: name: Ramelli, Marco
Publisher: name: The University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: Since the beginning of the 20th century, collaborations between guitarists and composers have played a central role in the creation of new guitar repertoire. I worked in four artistic projects, as a researcher, guitarist or composer, analysing the concept of collaboration from several perspectives, providing a new insight into the various types of collaborations. During the first project, I studied the music of the Scottish composer Thomas Wilson (1927–2001). The project was divided into two phases: the first one focussed on discovering the genesis of the work; the second phase was dedicated to the creation of a performance edition of Wilson’s Coplas del Ruiseñor. The second and third projects feature collaborations between performers and composers in the creation of new music. While, in the second project, I was primarily involved as a performer, in the third one, I composed music for other guitarists. My involvement in these projects helped me perceive the process of collaboration in a novel way. During the fourth project, I explored the concept of posthumous collaborations; I created a new version of the composition, For Whom the Bell Tolls by Roberto Gerhard, and I also completed a new performance edition and recording of Gerhard’s Fantasia.

description: Deep learning models have shown great promise in estimating tissue microstructure from limited diffusion magnetic resonance imaging data. However, these models face domain shift challenges when test and train data are from different scanners and protocols, or when the models are applied to data with inherent variations such as the developing brains of infants and children scanned at various ages. Several techniques have been proposed to address some of these challenges, such as data harmonization or domain adaptation in the adult brain. However, those techniques remain unexplored for the estimation of fiber orientation distribution functions in the rapidly developing brains of infants. In this work, we extensively investigate the age effect and domain shift within and across two different cohorts of 201 newborns and 165 babies using the Method of Moments and fine-tuning strategies. Our results show that reduced variations in the microstructural development of babies in comparison to newborns directly impact the deep learning models' cross-age performance. We also demonstrate that a small number of target domain samples can significantly mitigate domain shift problems.

An energy transfer formula is obtained, $y=Cm_{i}m_{o}/r$, where $y$ is the transferred energy in the collisions of the two wave packets, $m_i$ and $m_o$ are the Misner-Sharp energies for the ingoing and outgoing wave packets, respectively, $r$ is the areal radius and collision place, and $C=1.873$ and $C=1.875$ for the asymptotically flat spacetime and asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetime circumstances, respectively. The formula is universal, independent of the initial profiles of the scalar fields.

description: We present the notion of non-abelian descent type, which classifies torsors up to twisting by a Galois cocycle. This relies on the previous construction of kernels and non-abelian Galois 2-cohomology due to Springer and Borovoi. The necessity of descent types arises in the context of the descent theory where no torsors are given a priori, for example, when we wish to study the arithmetic properties such as the Brauer--Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle on homogeneous spaces without rational points. This new definition also unifies the types by Colliot-Thélène--Sansuc, the extended types by Harari--Skorobogatov, and the finite descent type by Harpaz--Wittenberg.

Jets In Radiatively Inefficient Agn: Kinematics, Dynamics And Fuelling

Publisher: name: Zenodo

Subjects: Active Galactic Nuclei

description: I will present recent results on the kinematics of jets in nearby radio galaxies derived from deep radio imaging. These indicate that most, but not all jets of this type decelerate from relativistic to sub-relativistic speeds on kiloparsec scales. I will then show how mass, energy and momentum fluxes can be derived if the density and pressure of the hot intergalactic medium surrounding the jets can be estimated from X-ray observations.  All of the radio galaxies are accreting at very low rates.  It has been suggested that their black holes are being fuelled by accretion from this hot IGM, but I will show evidence from CO line observations that they also contain substantial reservoirs of cold molecular gas.  Finally, I will speculate on the relation between the accretion rate and the mass flux in the jets and its implications for jet dedceleration.

description: Camera traps are important tools in animal ecology for biodiversity monitoring and conservation. However, their practical application is limited by issues such as poor generalization to new and unseen locations. Images are typically associated with diverse forms of context, which may exist in different modalities. In this work, we exploit the structured context linked to camera trap images to boost out-of-distribution generalization for species classification tasks in camera traps. For instance, a picture of a wild animal could be linked to details about the time and place it was captured, as well as structured biological knowledge about the animal species. While often overlooked by existing studies, incorporating such context offers several potential benefits for better image understanding, such as addressing data scarcity and enhancing generalization. However, effectively incorporating such heterogeneous context into the visual domain is a challenging problem. To address this, we propose a novel framework that transforms species classification as link prediction in a multimodal knowledge graph (KG). This framework enables the seamless integration of diverse multimodal contexts for visual recognition. We apply this framework for out-of-distribution species classification on the iWildCam2020-WILDS and Snapshot Mountain Zebra datasets and achieve competitive performance with state-of-the-art approaches. Furthermore, our framework enhances sample efficiency for recognizing under-represented species.

description: By the end of 2015, approximately 36.7 million people were living with HIV (PLHIV) worldwide. Men who have sex with men (MSM) represent 5-20% of the HIV-positive population. With an average number of sexual partners ranging from 1 to 5 per week they compose 17% of the HIV positive high-risk population in Ecuador. We consider four treatment strategies with three different schemes of treatment targeting the most effective strategy on maintaining infectious and resistant populations at the minimum. This project aims to study the impact of delayed treatment on the changes in prevalence of infectious and drug resistant population among MSM

description: To determine the AGN component in the faint radio population is fundamental in galaxy evolution studies. A relatively easy and direct way to determine which galaxies do have a radio-active AGN is a detection using the Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) technique. The goal of this project is to study with statistically relevant numbers the faint radio source population using VLBI observations. To achieve this goal, the project is divided into two parts. In the first part, we have observed ~3000 radio sources in the COSMOS extragalactic field with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) at 1.4GHz. We have detected 468 sources. In the second part, we have observed ~200 radio sources in the COSMOS field with extremely high sensitivity using the VLBA together with the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) at 1.4GHz, to explore an even fainter population in the flux density regime of tens of uJy. We are currently calibrating this data. In this overview I will present the survey design, observations, and calibration, along with some first results.

description: In multilabel classification, strong label dependence is present for exploiting, particularly for word-to-word dependence defined by semantic labels. In such a situation, we develop a collaborative-learning framework to predict class labels based on label-predictor pairs and label-only data. For example, in image categorization and recognition, language expressions describe the content of an image together with a large number of words and phrases without associated images. This article proposes a new loss quantifying partial correctness for false positive and negative misclassifications due to label similarities. Given this loss, we develop the Bayes rule to capture label dependence by nonlinear classification. On this ground, we introduce a weighted random forest classifier for complete data and a stacking scheme for leveraging additional labels to enhance the performance of supervised learning based on label-predictor pairs. Importantly, we decompose multilabel classification into a sequence of independent learning tasks, based on which the computational complexity of our classifier becomes linear in the size of labels. Compared to existing classifiers without label-only data, the proposed classifier enjoys the computational benefit while enabling the detection of novel labels absent from training by exploring label dependence and leveraging label-only data for higher accuracy. Theoretically, we show that the proposed method reconstructs the Bayes performance consistently, achieving the desired learning accuracy. Numerically, we demonstrate that the proposed method compares favorably in terms of the proposed and Hamming losses against binary relevance and a regularized Ising classifier modeling conditional label dependence. Indeed, leveraging additional labels tends to improve the supervised performance, especially when the training sample is not very large, as in semisupervised learning. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of the proposed approach on the Microsoft COCO object detection challenge, PASCAL visual object classes challenge 2007, and Mediamill benchmark.

description: Factorial experiments are widely used to assess the marginal, joint, and interactive effects of multiple concurrent factors. While a robust literature covers the design and analysis of these experiments, there is less work on how to handle treatment noncompliance in this setting. To fill this gap, we introduce a new methodology that uses the potential outcomes framework for analyzing 2K factorial experiments with noncompliance on any number of factors. This framework builds on and extends the literature on both instrumental variables and factorial experiments in several ways. First, we define novel, complier-specific quantities of interest for this setting and show how to generalize key instrumental variables assumptions. Second, we show how partial compliance across factors gives researchers a choice over different types of compliers to target in estimation. Third, we show how to conduct inference for these new estimands from both the finite-population and superpopulation asymptotic perspectives. Finally, we illustrate these techniques by applying them to a field experiment on the effectiveness of different forms of get-out-the-vote canvassing. New easy-to-use, open-source software implements the methodology. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: We describe the possible forms of black hole images, viewed by a distant observer. These images are numerically calculated basing on general relativity and equations of motion in the Kerr-Newman metric. Black hole image is a gravitationally lensed image of the black hole event horizon. It may be viewed as a black spot on the celestial sphere, projected inside the position of classical black hole shadow. In the nearest future it would be possible to verify modified gravity theories by observations of astrophysical black holes with Space Observatory Millimetron.

description: Model-X knockoffs is a general procedure that can leverage any feature importance measure to produce a variable selection algorithm, which discovers true effects while rigorously controlling the number or fraction of false positives. Model-X knockoffs is a randomized procedure which relies on the one-time construction of synthetic (random) variables. This article introduces a derandomization method by aggregating the selection results across multiple runs of the knockoffs algorithm. The derandomization step is designed to be flexible and can be adapted to any variable selection base procedure to yield stable decisions without compromising statistical power. When applied to the base procedure of Janson and Su, we prove that derandomized knockoffs controls both the per family error rate (PFER) and the k family-wise error rate (k-FWER). Furthermore, we carry out extensive numerical studies demonstrating tight Type I error control and markedly enhanced power when compared with alternative variable selection algorithms. Finally, we apply our approach to multistage genome-wide association studies of prostate cancer and report locations on the genome that are significantly associated with the disease. When cross-referenced with other studies, we find that the reported associations have been replicated. Supplementary materials for this article, including a standardized description of the materials available for reproducing the work, are available as an online supplement.
