Obsessive-compulsive behaviours in specific situations: The relative influence of appraisals of control, responsibility and threat
Creators: name: Moulding, Richard

Year: 2024

description: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by repeated and persistent attempts by the individual to control their thoughts and by taking action through rituals in order to prevent feared or personally distressing outcomes. While cognitive theories of OCD have generated supportive research findings and effective treatments, they have not considered broader control beliefs that may motivate aspects of OC-phenomenology. We have previously proposed that broader control beliefs, specifically desire for control and sense of control, may play a role in OC-symptoms (Moulding & Kyrios, 2006). In the present study, non-clinical participants (N = 219) were presented with four hypothetical scenarios relevant to an OCD-checking concern, and using a manipulation paradigm, the relationship between control constructs and appraisals hypothesized to be relevant to OCD (threat, responsibility) was examined. Desire for control was moderately affected to responsibility and threat appraisals, while sense of control did not relate to these constructs. The relationship between aspects of OC-phenomenology and appraisals of control, responsibility and threat were also investigated. Higher desire for control predicted both affect and action, while a lower sense of control predicted higher distress and action, over-and-above appraisals of threat and responsibility. Control appraisals were particularly relevant to use of action, and to affect in the low responsibility situations. A possible interactive model of desire for control, threat and responsibility is discussed.

description: Purpose: Keratoconus (KTCN) is a degenerative disorder of the eye that results in the conical shape and thinning of the cornea and is a leading cause for corneal transplantations. A number of studies suggest that genetic factors play a role in KTCN etiology. Some candidate gene variants have recently been shown to be associated with KTCN. The purpose of our study was to verify the role of VSX1, TGFBI, DOCK9, IPO5, and STK24 sequence variants in Polish KTCN patients. Methods: Forty-two Polish patients with sporadic KTCN and 50 control individuals were enrolled into this study. Both affected and unaffected individuals underwent detailed ophthalmic examination. The mutations screening in the candidate genes was performed by the direct sequencing method. Results: Analysis of VSX1, TGFBI, DOCK9, IPO5, and STK24 genes identified numerous sequence variants. Variants c.-264_-255delGGGGTGGGGT, c.627 + 23G > A, c.809-6_809-5insT, and c.*200G > T in the VSX1 gene, and heterozygous c.1598G > A mutation (Arg533Gln) in exon 12 of TGFBI were detected for the first time in KTCN patients. Two known sequence variants of TGFBI c.1620T > C (Phe540Phe) and c.1678 + 23G > A were observed in KTCN patients and control individuals. The newly reported c.717 + 43A > G substitution in intron 7 of DOCK9 was identified in both KTCN patients and healthy individuals. Conclusions: Our investigation showed that KTCN-related sequence variants of analyzed genes were found in a very small proportion of the studied patients indicating that genes other than VSX1, TGFBI, DOCK9, IPO5, and STK24 are involved in the development and progression of KTCN in Polish patients. Our results support the hypothesis about the genetic heterogeneity of KTCN.

description: Die vorliegende Studie präsentiert und erprobt eine Methodik, mit der die Paratexte eines mittelgroßen Textkorpus erfasst und analysiert werden. Zunächst wird eine Einführung in die Erzähltheorie gegeben, dann werden die einzelnen methodischen Schritte zur Erfassung der unterschiedlichen paratextuellen und textuellen Signale ausführlich dargelegt. Deren Quantifizierung ermöglicht ein Clustering und damit die Zusammenfassung der untersuchten Texte in Gruppen. An einem Korpus von 103 wissenschaftlichen Ethnografien wird beispielhaft vorgeführt, zu welchen Ergebnissen die Analyse von Paratexten führen kann. Sie zeigt, dass ethnografisches Schreiben im 20. Jahrhundert zwischen einer wissenschaftlichen Darstellung einerseits und einer autobiografischen Erzählform andererseits changiert. Die Analyse nimmt dabei sowohl das Textkorpus als Ganzes in den Blick als auch die Entwicklungen im Zeitverlauf. Hieran lässt sich die Geschichte der Disziplin nachvollziehen, die das Forschersubjekt zunächst passiv als neutrale*n Beobachter*in konzipiert hat und erst in jüngerer Zeit als aktiv interagierende Persönlichkeit präsentiert. Der Schlussteil diskutiert Möglichkeiten zur Automatisierung der Datenerhebung sowie den Einsatz von machine learning-Verfahren. Das Potenzial von Paratextanalysen, Einsichten in die sich seit dem ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert vollziehende funktionale Ausdifferenzierung der Darstellungskonventionen zu gewähren, wird so umrissen.

description: Background The decontamination of the skin is indispensable if airborne particulate contaminants deposit on the skin surface. Skin washing can have adverse effects as by skin rubbing the particles can be transferred deeply into the hair follicles, where they can be entrapped for a period of more than 10 days. Thus, alternative skin decontamination strategies are necessary. Materials and Methods For imaging the contaminants in the skin, sodium fluorescein-labeled soot particles of submicron size (approximate to 600 nm) were visualized using laser scanning microscopy. Results In the present ex vivo pilot study on porcine ear skin, it was shown that sodium fluorescein-labeled soot particles of submicron size (approximate to 600 nm) could be efficiently removed from the skin with highly absorbent textile nanofiber material, whose efficacy could be further increased by spraying the contaminated skin area with the viscous fluid PEG-12 dimethicone before textile application. Conclusion In case of skin contamination with particulates, the contact washing should be avoided due to rubbing particles deeply into the hair follicles, where they can accumulate for a long time and induce negative consequences. Efficient skin decontamination could include pretreatment of skin surface with the viscous fluid PEG-12 dimethicone and subsequent application of highly absorbent textile nanofiber material.

description: Dieser Beitrag stellt diverse visuelle Experimente vor, bei denen insbesondere mediale Transformationsprozesse und sowohl Vorgang als auch Ergebnis von Modellierungsprozessen im Fokus stehen. Bei den ausgewählten Beispielen entstehen durch den Einsatz und die Entwicklung von Softwaresystemen unterschiedliche visuelle Artefakte. Zentral ist dabei, dass die Experimente nur auf Grundlage von Modellen und in Verbindung mit Modellierungsprozessen durchgeführt werden können. Dies ist substantiell für den Erkenntnisgewinn und die analytischen Betrachtungen insgesamt, wie in diesem Beitrag aufgezeigt wird. Darüber hinaus wird dargelegt, dass sich visuelle Experimente in den digitalen Geisteswissenschaften nie ohne Modelle unterschiedlichster Arten durchführen lassen.
description: This article presents a number of visual experiments with a special focus on processes of media transformation and modelling. In the selected examples, the development and use of computer systems are used to create different visual artefacts. These experiments can only be performed with the use of models in modelling processes. This chapter shows how important modelling and the use and development of software is for the analytical reflections and thus for the gaining of new knowledge. We also show how these points tend towards a more general pattern: visual experiments in the digital humanities cannot be performed without the use of models.

description: Regiocontrolled nitration of 4-quinolone, the highly privileged scaffold, has been developed at ambient conditions. The nitro group can selectively be introduced at diverse positions simply by tuning the reactivity of the moiety. Discrimination is being achieved through the selective functionalization of the free N-H group. The functional group has been screened theoretically with the help of Fukui function and local softness calculation. Theoretical predictions are synchronized well with the experimental findings. Finally, this nitration technique allows quick access to the structurally diverse 4-quinolones.

description: Das aus der Sozialforschung übernommene Forschungsprogramm von Mixed Methods prägt die Wissenskulturen der Digital Humanities (DH). Unter Mixed-Methods-Forschung wird eine Kombination von qualitativen und quantitativen Methoden verstanden, die über die Merkmale von Kompatibilität, Integration und Inferenz bestimmt werden kann. Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit dem Import von Mixed Methods in die DH und fragt nach Alternativen. Dabei werden in einem deskriptiven Zugang Bedingungen einer Wissensproduktion mit Mixed Methods exponiert. In einem spekulativen Zugang schlägt der Beitrag im Rückgriff auf Karen Barads Ansatz des Agentiellen Realismus ein Entangled-Methods-Forschungsdesign vor, das über die Konzepte von Intraaktion, Datendiffraktion und Interferenzen exploriert wird.
description: The research program of mixed methods, adopted from social research, shapes the epistemic cultures of the Digital Humanities (DH). Mixed methods research is understood as a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, which can be defined by the characteristics of compatibility, integration and inference. The article deals with the import of mixed methods into DH and asks for alternatives. In a descriptive approach, conditions of knowledge production with mixed methods are exposed. In a speculative approach, the paper proposes an entangled methods research design, which is explored through the concepts of intra-action, data diffraction, and interference, by drawing on Karen Barad’s approach of agential realism.

description: We do a detailed analysis of a well-theoretically motivated interacting dark energy scalar field model with a time-varying interaction term. Using current cosmological datasets from CMB, BAO, Type Ia Supernova, $H(z)$ measurements from cosmic chronometers, angular diameter measurements from Megamasers, growth measurements, and local SH0ES measurements, we found that dark energy component may act differently than a cosmological constant at early times. The observational data also does not disfavor a small interaction between dark energy and dark matter at late times. When using all these datasets in combination, our value of $H_0$ agrees well with SH0ES results but in 2.5$σ$ tension with Planck results. We also did AIC and BIC analysis, and we found that the cosmological data prefer coupled quintessence model over $Λ$CDM, although the chi-square per number of degrees of freedom test prefers the latter.

description: Handschriftlich überlieferte Rezepte sind unfeste Texte ohne Werkcharakter und wurden Großteiles in anonymen, häufig thematisch sortierten, Sammlungen tradiert. Der Beitrag stellt neue Methoden und Begriffe zur Erforschung der Überlieferungsgeschichte einzelner Rezepte und Rezeptsammlungen am Beispiel der kunsttechnologischen und Kochrezepte der frühneuhochdeutschen Handschrift Cod. germ. 1 der Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg vor. Wesentlich für die Visualisierung des Rezept-Überlieferungsnetzes als Graph ist die im Vergleich zur älteren Forschung veränderte Datenstruktur. Hierbei werden die in den Handschriften materialisierten und von den Datenbanken erfassten Textereignisse imaginären Texten in potentia zugeordnet, was eine Reduzierung der Entitäten im Netzwerk und eine größere Übersichtlichkeit zulässt.
description: Recipes in manuscripts are unstable texts, they appear in differnet manuscripts in multiple variations and were mostly handed down in anonymous, often thematically sorted collections. This article presents new methods and concepts for researching the transmission of individual recipes and recipe collections. It is using the example of art technological and cooking recipes of the Early New High German manuscript Cod. germ. 1 of the State and University Library Hamburg. In comparison to older research, the data structure is changed. The text events materialized in the manuscripts and recorded by the databases are assigned to imaginary texts in potentia. This allows a reduction of the entities and a clear visualization of the recipe transmission network as a graph.

description: In the next decade, many optical surveys will aim to tackle the question of dark energy nature, measuring its equation of state parameter at the permil level. This requires trusting the photometric calibration of the survey with a precision never reached so far, controlling many sources of systematic uncertainties. The measurement of the on-site atmospheric transmission for each exposure, or on average for each season or for the full survey, can help reach the permil precision for magnitudes. This work aims at proving the ability to use slitless spectroscopy for standard star spectrophotometry and its use to monitor on-site atmospheric transmission as needed, for example, by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time supernova cosmology program. We fully deal with the case of a disperser in the filter wheel, which is the configuration chosen in the Rubin Auxiliary Telescope. The theoretical basis of slitless spectrophotometry is at the heart of our forward model approach to extract spectroscopic information from slitless data. We developed a publicly available software called Spectractor (https://github.com/LSSTDESC/Spectractor) that implements each ingredient of the model and finally performs a fit of a spectrogram model directly on image data to get the spectrum. We show on simulations that our model allows us to understand the structure of spectrophotometric exposures. We also demonstrate its use on real data, solving specific issues and illustrating how our procedure allows the improvement of the model describing the data. Finally, we discuss how this approach can be used to directly extract atmospheric transmission parameters from data and thus provide the base for on-site atmosphere monitoring. We show the efficiency of the procedure on simulations and test it on the limited data set available.

description: In this work, we study the Kerr-Sen-de Sitter black hole~(BH) in the Nariai limit where the event and cosmological horizon coincide. We show that the near-horizon Kerr-Sen-de Sitter black hole in Nariai limit is a fiber over AdS$_2$ with an appropriate coordinate transformation, instead of fiber over dS$_2$. Hence, we can compute the associated central charge and CFT temperature by using the Kerr/CFT method. It is remarkably exhibited that through Cardy's growth of states, the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy on cosmological horizon is reproduced. Moreover, we show that the radial equation of the quantum scalar field in $J$- and $Q$-pictures on this charged rotating background in Nariai limit can be portrayed in quadratic Casimir operator form with $SL(2,R)\times SL(2,R)$ isometry. We also compute the corresponding thermodynamic quantities from CFT to find the absorption cross-section and real-time correlator in $J$-picture. In $Q$-picture, we do not find a well-defined CFT description. We then extend the study of quantum scalar field in Nariai limit for Kerr-Newman-dS black hole solution and show that the hidden conformal symmetry on this black hole's background in in $J$- and $Q$-pictures is well-defined.

description: AIM: To estimate incidence risk, cumulative mortality and case fatality rate within herds affected by bovine anaemia associated with Theileria orientalis infection (TABA), in New Zealand during the early phase of the epidemic (August 2012–September 2013).METHODS: A mixed methods approach was utilised to integrate data from various sources, including a detailed questionnaire carried out on 18 dairy farms which had experienced cases of TABA; a brief telephone survey of an additional 139 case farms; and data extracted from a Ministry for Primary Industries database for a further 42 case farms. The subsequent analysis determined incidence risk, cumulative mortality and case fatality rates for beef and dairy herds.RESULTS: Data were analysed from 196/263 (74%) known case farms at the date of closing the questionnaires. These farms contained 99,505 cattle; 2,847 animals were reported with clinical disease, and a further 590 animals were recorded as having died from TABA. The within-herd incidence risk, cumulative mortality and case fatality rate were consistent between the three data sources, did not differ between beef and dairy herds, and were estimated to be 0.97 (inter-quartile range (IQR) 0.36–2.07)%, 0.23 (IQR 0.00–0.66)% and 16.67 (IQR 0.00–33.33)%,, respectively. There was substantial variability in the level of impact, with 22 farms severely affected (incidence risk >5% and cumulative mortality >5%).CONCLUSIONS: The mixed methods approach was effective in dealing with the disparate data sources. The inclusion of the majority of farms known to be affected at the time the questionnaires were performed implies that the information is likely to be representative. The collective outputs of the analyses represent the best estimate available of within-herd measures of disease frequency in the early phase of the epidemic in New Zealand. The limitations of the data imply that their primary application may be to inform the design of subsequent structured observational field studies.CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The results of this study provide information on the impact of TABA on cattle farms during the emergence and early spread of the disease, as well as for generating hypotheses on causal mechanisms and risk factors that may influence the course of disease.

description: In this paper we study non-nilpotent non-Lie Leibniz $\mathbb{F}$-algebras with one-dimensional derived subalgebra, where $\mathbb{F}$ is a field with $\operatorname{char}(\mathbb{F}) \neq 2$. We prove that such an algebra is isomorphic to the direct sum of the two-dimensional non-nilpotent non-Lie Leibniz algebra and an abelian algebra. We denote it by $L_n$, where $n=\dim_{\mathbb{F}} L_n$. This generalizes the result found in [11], which is only valid when $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{C}$. Moreover, we find the Lie algebra of derivations, its Lie group of automorphisms and the Leibniz algebra of biderivations of $L_n$. Eventually, we solve the coquecigrue problem for $L_n$ by integrating it into a Lie rack.

description: Um digitale Bilder standardisiert und sammlungsunabhängig zur Verfügung zu stellen, entwickelt die Community um das International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) verschiedene Programmierschnittstellen (Application Programming Interfaces, kurz APIs) und setzt diese in Open-Source-Software um. Bei der Arbeit mit digitalen Bildern ist ein Wandel zu beobachten, durch den ein Digitalisat zunehmend nicht mehr nur als Repräsentation des ›Originals‹, sondern auch als Reihung von kodierten Informationen begriffen wird. Auf die verschiedenen Ansätze zum Verständnis von digitaler Bildlichkeit einzugehen ist ebenso wichtig, wie die APIs, die Software und ihre Funktionsweisen zu erklären. Eine Reflexion über die Technik soll die Basis für Diskussionen schaffen, die über die IT-Gemeinschaft hinausweisen. Ergänzend wird gezeigt, wie kulturbewahrende Institutionen aus Bereitstellungssicht auf diese Prozesse reagieren. Die Leitfrage ist, ob sich durch das Zusammenspiel zwischen Nutzung und Bereitstellung die Arbeit mit Bildern verändern kann.
description: In order to make digital images available in a standardized manner, independent from the collection to which they belong, the community of the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) is developing several application programming interfaces (APIs) and implementing them in open source software.As an accompanying effect, a change in dealing with digitized images can be observed. They are increasingly not only understood as a representation of the ›original‹ anymore, but also as a sequence of coded information. To focus on these different approaches in the understanding of digital imagery is just as important as explaining the interfaces, the software and the functionality. The reflection on the technical approach should set a basis for discussions that extend beyond the IT community. An insight on how cultural heritage institutions react to these processes in their provisioning is complementing those thoughts. The key question is, whether the interaction between use and provision can change the way we work with images.

description: Dieser Beitrag erkundet die ästhetischen und epistemischen Potenziale der Datenphysikalisierung in den digitalen Geisteswissenschaften. Die gesammelten Werke verschiedener Philosophen (Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche usw.) wurden mit Hilfe eines linguistischen Körpermodells ausgewertet. Angeregt durch den Penfield-Homunkulus wurden die Ergebnisse in den expliziten Raum des menschlichen Körpers projiziert. Mittels Computational Design und 3D-Druck wurden diese Projektionen in Datenskulpturen umgewandelt. Gegenüber herkömmlichen Darstellungen (Kurven, Karten usw.) erleichtern es solche Skulpturen, die neue Forschungsfragen zu entwickeln und Ergebnisse entsprechender Projekte in analogen Kontexten zu präsentieren, um damit andere und potentiell breitere Öffentlichkeiten zu erreichen.

description: This paper explores the aesthetic and epistemic potential of data physicalization in the Digital Humanities. The collected works of various philosophers (Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche etc.) were investigated by means of a linguistic model of the human body. Inspired by the Penfield homunculus results were projected into the explicit space of the human body. Drawing on Computational Design and 3D printing, these projections were transformed into physical data sculptures. In contrast to standard forms of data representation (curves, cards, etc.) such sculptures facilitate developing new research questions and presenting results of such projects in the Digital Humanities in analogue contexts, making them accessible to different and potentially broader audiences.

description: Teucrium chamaedrys L. is an aromatic and medicinal plant used as traditional medicine. Aerial parts of the plant material were dried and extracted with hexane–dichloromethane (extract 1), ethyl acetate–dichloromethane (extract 2) and methanol–dichloromethane (extract 3) in a ratio of 1:1 at rt successively. The solvents were evaporated to give crude extracts. Extract 1 was suspended in water at 60°C then partitioned successively with hexane and ethyl acetate to give hexane and ethyl acetate portions. After the column chromatography (silica gel) of ethyl acetate extract, one new and four known compounds were isolated. The new compound was named as 1(12S,18R)-15,16-epoxy-2β,6β-dihydroxy-neo-cleroda-13(16),14-dien-20,l2-olide-l8,l9-hemiacetal (teuchamaedryn D) (4). The known compounds were teucrin A (1), dihydroteugin (2), teucroxide (3), syspirensin A (5). The chromatographic methods were also applied for extract 3 to isolate verbascoside (6) and teucrioside (7). The structure of isolated compounds was elucidated by spectroscopic methods including LC-TOF/MS, 1D NMR and 2D NMR.

description: AIM: To estimate incidence risk, cumulative mortality and case fatality rate within herds affected by bovine anaemia associated with Theileria orientalis infection (TABA), in New Zealand during the early phase of the epidemic (August 2012–September 2013).METHODS: A mixed methods approach was utilised to integrate data from various sources, including a detailed questionnaire carried out on 18 dairy farms which had experienced cases of TABA; a brief telephone survey of an additional 139 case farms; and data extracted from a Ministry for Primary Industries database for a further 42 case farms. The subsequent analysis determined incidence risk, cumulative mortality and case fatality rates for beef and dairy herds.RESULTS: Data were analysed from 196/263 (74%) known case farms at the date of closing the questionnaires. These farms contained 99,505 cattle; 2,847 animals were reported with clinical disease, and a further 590 animals were recorded as having died from TABA. The within-herd incidence risk, cumulative mortality and case fatality rate were consistent between the three data sources, did not differ between beef and dairy herds, and were estimated to be 0.97 (inter-quartile range (IQR) 0.36–2.07)%, 0.23 (IQR 0.00–0.66)% and 16.67 (IQR 0.00–33.33)%, respectively. There was substantial variability in the level of impact, with 22 farms severely affected (incidence risk >5% and cumulative mortality >5%).CONCLUSIONS: The mixed methods approach was effective in dealing with the disparate data sources. The inclusion of the majority of farms known to be affected at the time the questionnaires were performed implies that the information is likely to be representative. The collective outputs of the analyses represent the best estimate available of within-herd measures of disease frequency in the early phase of the epidemic in New Zealand. The limitations of the data imply that their primary application may be to inform the design of subsequent structured observational field studies.CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The results of this study provide information on the impact of TABA on cattle farms during the emergence and early spread of the disease, as well as for generating hypotheses on causal mechanisms and risk factors that may influence the course of disease.

description: Estimation of change-point locations in the broken-stick model has significant applications in modeling important biological phenomena. In this article, we present a computationally economical likelihood-based approach for estimating change-point(s) efficiently in both cross-sectional and longitudinal settings. Our method, based on local smoothing in a shrinking neighborhood of each change-point, is shown via simulations to be computationally more viable than existing methods that rely on search procedures, with dramatic gains in the multiple change-point case. The proposed estimates are shown to have n-consistency and asymptotic normality—in particular, they are asymptotically efficient in the cross-sectional setting—allowing us to provide meaningful statistical inference. As our primary and motivating (longitudinal) application, we study the Michigan Bone Health and Metabolism Study cohort data to describe patterns of change in log estradiol levels, before and after the final menstrual period, for which a two change-point broken-stick model appears to be a good fit. We also illustrate our method on a plant growth dataset in the cross-sectional setting. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.
Molecular and cellular pathogenesis of the erythroid defect and the therapeutic effect of glucocorticoids in Diamond-Blackfan anaemia
Creators: name: Iskander, Deena Mohsen
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Diamond-Blackfan Anaemia (DBA) is a rare inherited bone marrow (BM) failure syndrome characterised by selective anaemia, congenital anomalies and predisposition to malignancy. DBA is caused by monoallelic, loss-of-function mutations in ribosomal protein (RP) genes. Delineation of the precise erythroid defect underpinning anaemia in DBA has been hampered by a lack of markers that define cells giving rise to burst- and colony-forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E and CFU-E) colonies, i.e., the clonogenic assays that quantify early and late erythroid progenitor (EP) potential respectively. By combining flow-cytometry, cell-sorting and single cell clonogenic assays, I identify Lin-CD34+CD38+CD45RA-CD123-CD71+CD41a-CD105-CD36- BM cells as early EP (EEP) and Lin-CD34+/-CD38+CD45RA-CD123-CD71+CD41a-CD105+CD36+ cells as late EP (LEP) giving rise to BFU-E and CFU-E respectively. By applying these definitions to DBA, I reveal, for the first time, that both quantitative and qualitative defects in EEP and LEP contribute to defective erythropoiesis in DBA and its restoration by corticosteroids (CS). I also demonstrate that, while an EP defect associated with profound loss of erythroblasts (EB) is present in transfusion-dependent (TD) patients with RPS gene-associated DBA, EP/EB are relatively preserved in TD patients with RPL gene variants. Transcriptome profiling by RNA-sequencing of FACS-purified EB from RPL genotype patients compared with age-matched controls, provides a unique dataset showing a distinct DBA molecular signature, characterised by p53 and inflammatory signalling pathways. Remarkably, the cellular differences between RPL and RPS gene-associated DBA correlate with divergent clinical phenotypes: patients with RPL rather than RPS gene pathogenic variants are more likely to present with anaemia at an older age, and to respond to CS. Finally, although DBA is rare, I demonstrate its wider utility as a paradigm of disordered erythroid commitment, providing insight into normal haematopoiesis. The strategies described for prospective isolation of EP/EB constitute an original contribution to knowledge that will facilitate more incisive study of normal and aberrant erythropoiesis.

description: Data sets of multivariate normal distributions abound in many scientific areas like diffusion tensor imaging, structure tensor computer vision, radar signal processing, machine learning, just to name a few. In order to process those normal data sets for downstream tasks like filtering, classification or clustering, one needs to define proper notions of dissimilarities between normals and paths joining them. The Fisher-Rao distance defined as the Riemannian geodesic distance induced by the Fisher information metric is such a principled metric distance which however is not known in closed-form excepts for a few particular cases. In this work, we first report a fast and robust method to approximate arbitrarily finely the Fisher-Rao distance between multivariate normal distributions. Second, we introduce a class of distances based on diffeomorphic embeddings of the normal manifold into a submanifold of the higher-dimensional symmetric positive-definite cone corresponding to the manifold of centered normal distributions. We show that the projective Hilbert distance on the cone yields a metric on the embedded normal submanifold and we pullback that cone distance with its associated straight line Hilbert cone geodesics to obtain a distance and smooth paths between normal distributions. Compared to the Fisher-Rao distance approximation, the pullback Hilbert cone distance is computationally light since it requires to compute only the extreme minimal and maximal eigenvalues of matrices. Finally, we show how to use those distances in clustering tasks.
