description: Kidney transplantation can significantly enhance living standards for people suffering from end-stage renal disease. A significant factor that affects graft survival time (the time until the transplant fails and the patient requires another transplant) for kidney transplantation is the compatibility of the Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLAs) between the donor and recipient. In this paper, we propose 4 new biologically-relevant feature representations for incorporating HLA information into machine learning-based survival analysis algorithms. We evaluate our proposed HLA feature representations on a database of over 100,000 transplants and find that they improve prediction accuracy by about 1%, modest at the patient level but potentially significant at a societal level. Accurate prediction of survival times can improve transplant survival outcomes, enabling better allocation of donors to recipients and reducing the number of re-transplants due to graft failure with poorly matched donors.

description: This paper is concerned with the critical sharp traveling wave for doubly nonlinear diffusion equation with time delay, where the doubly nonlinear degenerate diffusion is defined by $\Big(\big|(u^m)_x\big|^{p-2}(u^m)_x\Big)_x$ with $m>0$ and $p>1$. The doubly nonlinear diffusion equation is proved to admit a unique sharp type traveling wave for the degenerate case $m(p-1)>1$, the so-called slow-diffusion case. This sharp traveling wave associated with the minimal wave speed $c^*(m,p,r)$ is monotonically increasing, where the minimal wave speed satisfies $c^*(m,p,r)0$. The sharp front is $C^1$-smooth for $\frac{1}{p-1}

description: We consider the quantum many-body evolution of a homogeneous Fermi gas in three dimensions in the coupled semiclassical and mean-field scaling regime. We study a class of initial data describing collective particle-hole pair excitations on the Fermi ball. Using a rigorous version of approximate bosonization, we prove that the many-body evolution can be approximated in Fock space norm by a quasifree bosonic evolution of the collective particle-hole excitations.

description: Structural hierarchy is found in myriad biological systems and has improved man-made structures ranging from the Eiffel tower to optical cavities. Hierarchical metamaterials utilize structure at multiple size scales to realize new and highly desirable properties which can be strikingly different from those of the constituent materials. In mechanical resonators whose rigidity is provided by static tension, structural hierarchy can reduce the dissipation of the fundamental mode to ultralow levels due to an unconventional form of soft clamping. Here, we apply hierarchical design to silicon nitride nanomechanical resonators and realize binary tree-shaped resonators with quality factors as high as $10^9$ at 107 kHz frequency, reaching the parameter regime of levitated particles. The resonators' thermal-noise-limited force sensitivities reach $740\ \mathrm{zN/\sqrt{Hz}}$ at room temperature and $\mathrm{90\ zN/\sqrt{Hz}}$ at 6 K, surpassing state-of-the-art cantilevers currently used for force microscopy. We also find that the self-similar structure of binary tree resonators results in fractional spectral dimensions, which is characteristic of fractal geometries. Moreover, we show that the hierarchical design principles can be extended to 2D trampoline membranes, and we fabricate ultralow dissipation membranes suitable for interferometric position measurements in Fabry-Pérot cavities. Hierarchical nanomechanical resonators open new avenues in force sensing, signal transduction and quantum optomechanics, where low dissipation is paramount and operation with the fundamental mode is often advantageous.

description: By exploiting the exotic quantum states of a probe, it is possible to realize efficient sensors that are attractive for practical metrology applications and fundamental studies. Similar to other quantum technologies, quantum sensing is suffering from noises and thus the experimental developments are hindered. Although theoretical schemes based on quantum error correction (QEC) have been proposed to combat noises, their demonstrations are prevented by the stringent experimental requirements, such as perfect quantum operations and the orthogonal condition between the sensing interaction Hamiltonian and the noise Lindbladians. Here, we report an experimental demonstration of a quantum enhancement in sensing with a bosonic probe with different encodings, by exploring the large Hilbert space of the bosonic mode and developing both the approximate QEC and the quantum jump tracking approaches. In a practical radiometry scenario, we attain a 5.3 dB enhancement of sensitivity, which reaches $9.1\times10^{-4}\,\mathrm{Hz}^{-1/2}$ when measuring the excitation population of a receiver mode. Our results demonstrate the potential of quantum sensing with near-term quantum technologies, not only shedding new light on the quantum advantage of sensing by revealing its difference from other quantum applications, but also stimulating further efforts on bosonic quantum technologies.

description: In this paper, we analyze the landscape of the true loss of neural networks with one hidden layer and ReLU, leaky ReLU, or quadratic activation. In all three cases, we provide a complete classification of the critical points in the case where the target function is affine and one-dimensional. In particular, we show that there exist no local maxima and clarify the structure of saddle points. Moreover, we prove that non-global local minima can only be caused by `dead' ReLU neurons. In particular, they do not appear in the case of leaky ReLU or quadratic activation. Our approach is of a combinatorial nature and builds on a careful analysis of the different types of hidden neurons that can occur.

description: It has been known that when a charged fermion scatters off a monopole, the fermion in the $s$-wave component must flip its chirality, i.e., fermion number violation must happen. This fact has led to a puzzle; if there are two or more flavors of massless fermions, any superposition of the fermion states cannot be the final state of the $s$-wave scattering as it is forbidden by conservation of the electric and flavor charges. The unitary evolution of the state vector, on the other hand, requires some interpretation of the final states. We solve the puzzle by finding new particle excitations in the monopole background, where multi-fermion operators exhibit condensation. The particles are described as excitations of closed-string configurations of the condensates.

title: Using Stock and Flow Modeling to Address Knowledge Gaps in Marine Plastic Pollution Data
Creators: name: Martin, Daniel P.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: As plastic becomes a ubiquitous part of society, its growth outpaces waste disposal infrastructure and enters the environment as physical and chemical pollution. Plastic can also erode during the use cycle and reach the environment without any chance of being arrested by collection efforts. Plastic is a hazard to many parts of the earth’s life support system but there are many knowledge gaps regarding the processes by which plastic moves through the use cycle and environment. In particular, the ocean is generally regarded as a sink for plastic out of which it is difficult to escape, but plastic can sink into the benthic zone reaching a deeper and more permanent sink and affecting a different environment. Little is known about the rate plastic moves from the surface to the benthic zone, the time it spends on the surface, and the quantity already in the benthic zone. To address these knowledge gaps, a stock and flow model was constructed using FORTRAN to simulate as much of the plastic use, disposal, and pollution cycle as was feasibly possible. The constructed model allowed for a complex use of Residence Time Distributions (RTDs), with plastic exiting a stock at variable rates and percentages based on the quantity of plastic entering the stock. This model was then cross-referenced with real data on surface ocean plastic, plastic waste, and other known quantities to check the accuracy of the simulation. Once it was determined that the model’s derived values for quantities that have been accurately measured in real life were within acceptable margins, the model’s values for the RTDs of plastic in the ocean were deemed reasonable. The model was also used to project plastic pollution into the future using several different scenarios to obtain estimates on future plastic production and pollution as well as the effects of RTDs on various stocks in the model. The model produced in this research could be scaled to different regions by changing the production value of the plastic entering the model and the plastic use quantities and waste disposal methods and rates.

Será dada especial atenção ao trabalho dos artistas Suzanne Anker, Damien Hirst e Marc Quinn, assim como da escritora Sylvia Plath, como ilustrações contemporâneas da aparente autonomia e crescente iconicidade dessacralizada do feto, que inserido num discurso que enfatizava a sua “santidade” é transposto agora para um contexto que sublinha a sua faceta mais profana e secular. Será utilizado especialmente o trabalho teórico da historiadora de ciência Donna Haraway, de Paul Virilio e de Giorgio Agamben, em particular “Elogio da Profanação”, para ajudar a analisar a ética visual das representações em questão.

description: Joint forecasting of human trajectory and pose dynamics is a fundamental building block of various applications ranging from robotics and autonomous driving to surveillance systems. Predicting body dynamics requires capturing subtle information embedded in the humans' interactions with each other and with the objects present in the scene. In this paper, we propose a novel TRajectory and POse Dynamics (nicknamed TRiPOD) method based on graph attentional networks to model the human-human and human-object interactions both in the input space and the output space (decoded future output). The model is supplemented by a message passing interface over the graphs to fuse these different levels of interactions efficiently. Furthermore, to incorporate a real-world challenge, we propound to learn an indicator representing whether an estimated body joint is visible/invisible at each frame, e.g. due to occlusion or being outside the sensor field of view. Finally, we introduce a new benchmark for this joint task based on two challenging datasets (PoseTrack and 3DPW) and propose evaluation metrics to measure the effectiveness of predictions in the global space, even when there are invisible cases of joints. Our evaluation shows that TRiPOD outperforms all prior work and state-of-the-art specifically designed for each of the trajectory and pose forecasting tasks.

description: Machine learning applications to symbolic mathematics are becoming increasingly popular, yet there lacks a centralized source of real-world symbolic expressions to be used as training data. In contrast, the field of natural language processing leverages resources like Wikipedia that provide enormous amounts of real-world textual data. Adopting the philosophy of "mathematics as language," we bridge this gap by introducing a pipeline for distilling mathematical expressions embedded in Wikipedia into symbolic encodings to be used in downstream machine learning tasks. We demonstrate that a $\textit{mathematical}$ $\textit{language}$ $\textit{model}$ trained on this "corpus" of expressions can be used as a prior to improve the performance of neural-guided search for the task of symbolic regression.

description: We prove existence and uniqueness of the branch of the so-called \emph{anomalous eternal solutions} in exponential self-similar form for the subcritical fast-diffusion equation with a weighted reaction term $$ \partial_tu=Δu^m+|x|^σu^p, $$ posed in $\real^N$ with $N\geq3$, where $$ 01, $$ and the critical value for the weight $$ σ=\frac{2(p-1)}{1-m}. $$ The branch of exponential self-similar solutions behaves similarly as the well-established anomalous solutions to the pure fast diffusion equation, but without a finite time extinction or a finite time blow-up, and presenting instead a \emph{change of sign of both self-similar exponents} at $m=m_s=(N-2)/(N+2)$, leading to surprising qualitative differences. In this sense, the reaction term we consider realizes a \emph{perfect equilibrium} in the competition between the fast diffusion and the reaction effects.

description: Entity linking is an important problem with many applications. Most previous solutions were designed for settings where annotated training data is available, which is, however, not the case in numerous domains. We propose a light-weight and scalable entity linking method, Eigenthemes, that relies solely on the availability of entity names and a referent knowledge base. Eigenthemes exploits the fact that the entities that are truly mentioned in a document (the "gold entities") tend to form a semantically dense subset of the set of all candidate entities in the document. Geometrically speaking, when representing entities as vectors via some given embedding, the gold entities tend to lie in a low-rank subspace of the full embedding space. Eigenthemes identifies this subspace using the singular value decomposition and scores candidate entities according to their proximity to the subspace. On the empirical front, we introduce multiple strong baselines that compare favorably to (and sometimes even outperform) the existing state of the art. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets from a variety of real-world domains showcase the effectiveness of our approach.

description: Volumetric imaging by fluorescence microscopy is often limited by anisotropic spatial resolution from inferior axial resolution compared to the lateral resolution. To address this problem, here we present a deep-learning-enabled unsupervised super-resolution technique that enhances anisotropic images in volumetric fluorescence microscopy. In contrast to the existing deep learning approaches that require matched high-resolution target volume images, our method greatly reduces the effort to put into practice as the training of a network requires as little as a single 3D image stack, without a priori knowledge of the image formation process, registration of training data, or separate acquisition of target data. This is achieved based on the optimal transport driven cycle-consistent generative adversarial network that learns from an unpaired matching between high-resolution 2D images in lateral image plane and low-resolution 2D images in the other planes. Using fluorescence confocal microscopy and light-sheet microscopy, we demonstrate that the trained network not only enhances axial resolution, but also restores suppressed visual details between the imaging planes and removes imaging artifacts.

description: Business process management (BPM) is a mature discipline that drives corporate success through effective and efficient business processes. BPM is commonly structured via capability frameworks, which describe and bundle capability areas relevant for implementing process orientation in organizations. Despite their comprehensive use, existing BPM capability frameworks are being challenged by socio-technical changes such as those brought about by digitalization. In line with the uptake of novel technologies, digitalization transforms existing and enables new processes due to its impact on individual behavior and needs, intra- and inter-company collaboration, and new forms of automation. This development led the authors to presume that digitalization calls for new capability areas and that existing frameworks need to be updated. Hence, this study explored which BPM capability areas will become relevant in view of digitalization through a Delphi study with international experts from industry and academia. The study resulted in an updated BPM capability framework, accompanied by insights into challenges and opportunities of BPM. The results show that, while there is a strong link between current and future capability areas, a number of entirely new and enhanced capabilities are required for BPM to drive corporate success in view of digitalization.

Unguiculi truncate (more common) or acuminate; tenent-hairs multilaterally ciliate. Th. II–Abd. V with ms and sens formula 10|10100 and 11|001–3, respectively. Abd. II to IV bothriotricha formula as 2/3/2; Abd. IV with additional bothriotricha-like chaetae, smaller than normal bothriotricha present or absent. Manubrium and dens without spines; dens with a dorso subapical spatulated appendix near to the mucro; mucro short, square or rectangular, with 2 to 4 teeth (adapted from Mitra 1973, Christiansen & Bellinger 1998, Yoshii 1981, 1983, Soto-Adames 2010, Zhang et al. 2015).
Remarks on Brazilian fauna. The species of Salina reported from Brazil are: Salina celebensis (Schäffer, 1898), S. maculiflora Oliveira & Cipola, 2016 and S. zhangi sp. nov. (cited as Salina spp. by Abrantes et al. 2012, Oliveira & Cipola, 2016). Both S. celebensis and S. zhangi sp. nov. belong to the S. celebensis- species group sensu Yoshii (1983), with mucro square, reduced dorsal macrochaetotaxy and Abd. II with two central and one lateral mac; while the recently described S. maculiflora belongs to the S. beta -species group sensu Soto-Adames (2010), with rectangular mucro and variable dorsal macrochaetotaxy. Other remarks are presented in the description of the new species.

Pseudogap phase and fractionalization: Predictions for Josephson junction setup

description: The pseudogap regime of the underdoped cuprates arguably remains one of the most enigmatic phenomena of correlated quantum matter. Recent theoretical ideas suggest that a pair density wave (PDW) or a "fractionalized PDW" could be a key ingredient for the understanding of the pseudogap physics. These ideas are to be contrasted to the scenario where charge density wave order and superconductivity coexist at low temperatures. In this paper, we present a few tests to compare the two scenarios in a Josephson junction setup. For a PDW scenario, we observe a beat-like structure of AC Josephson current. The additional frequencies for the AC Josephson current appear at the half-odd integer multiple of the standard Josephson frequency. We can extract the modulation wavevector of the PDW state by studying the average Josephson current. Furthermore, the usual sharp Shapiro steps break down. In contrast, these signatures are absent for the simple coexistence of orders. Any detection of such signatures in a similar experimental setup will strongly support the PDW scenario for the pseudogap phase.

description: The Random Language Model, proposed as a simple model of human languages, is defined by the averaged model of a probabilistic context-free grammar. This grammar expresses the process of sentence generation as a tree graph with nodes having symbols as variables. Previous studies proposed that a phase transition, which can be considered to represent the emergence of order in language, occurs in the random language model. We discuss theoretically that the analysis of the "order parameter" introduced in previous studies can be reduced to solving the maximum eigenvector of the transition probability matrix determined by a grammar. This helps analyze the distribution of a quantity determining the behavior of the "order parameter" and reveals that no phase transition occurs. Our results suggest the need to study a more complex model such as a probabilistic context-sensitive grammar, in order for phase transitions to occur.

description: This paper defines a novel Bayesian inverse problem to infer an infinite-dimensional uncertain operator appearing in a differential equation, whose action on an observable state variable affects its dynamics. Inference is made tractable by parametrizing the operator using its eigendecomposition. The plausibility of operator inference in the sparse data regime is explored in terms of an uncertain, generalized diffusion operator appearing in an evolution equation for a contaminant's transport through a heterogeneous porous medium. Sparse data are augmented with prior information through the imposition of deterministic constraints on the eigendecomposition and the use of qualitative information about the system in the definition of the prior distribution. Limited observations of the state variable's evolution are used as data for inference, and the dependence on the solution of the inverse problem is studied as a function of the frequency of observations, as well as on whether or not the data is collected as a spatial or time series.

description: Context. In exoplanet searches with radial velocity data, the most common statistical significance metrics are the Bayes factor and the false alarm probability (FAP). Both have proved useful, but do not directly address whether an exoplanet detection should be claimed. Furthermore, it is unclear which detection threshold should be taken and how robust the detections are to model misspecification. Aims. The present work aims at defining a detection criterion which conveys as precisely as possible the information needed to claim an exoplanet detection. We compare this new criterion to existing ones in terms of sensitivity and robustness. Methods. We define a significance metric called the false inclusion probability (FIP) based on the posterior probability of presence of a planet. Posterior distributions are computed with the nested sampling package Polychord. We show that for FIP and Bayes factor calculations, defining priors on linear parameters as Gaussian mixture models allows to significantly speed up computations. The performances of the FAP, Bayes factor and FIP are studied with simulations as well as analytical arguments. We compare the methods assuming the model is correct, then evaluate their sensitivity to the prior and likelihood choices. Results. Among other properties, the FIP offers ways to test the reliability of the significance levels, it is particularly efficient to account for aliasing and allows to exclude the presence of planets with a certain confidence. We find that, in our simulations, the FIP outperforms existing detection metrics. We show that planet detections are sensitive to priors on period and semi-amplitude and that letting free the noise parameters offers better performances than fixing a noise model based on a fit to ancillary indicators.

Diagnosis. Specimens pigmented. Scales absent. Body dorsally covered by several ciliate mac/mes/mic. Antennae shorter or subequal to the body length. Prelabral chaetae smooth. Eyes 8+8. Mesonotum normal, not strongly projected forward. Tibiotarsi can be apparently segmented. Abd. II to IV bothriotricha formula as 2/3/2; Abd. IV antero-medially with a transverse line of mac. Manubrium without spines; dens dorsally with elongated ciliate spiniform mac, subapical appendix of dens absent; mucro small with 2 or 3 teeth (adapted from Salmon 1941, Mitra 1993a, b).
Remarks on Brazilian fauna. The only species of Paronellides reported from Neotropical Region is Paronellides alticolus (Arlé, 1939), from Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. This species is known only from its type locality. We analyzed specimens originally studied by Arlé, but the poor preservation of the slides medium made it impossible to add details to the description of the dorsal chaetotaxy. This character system must be described to make possible future comparisons or descriptions within the genus in Neotropical Region. Also, information on chaetotaxy may confirm if P. alticolus var. pallida (Arlé, 1939) represents only a color variant or a distinct species taxon.

description: The activity of antithrombin (AT), a serpin protease inhibitor, is enhanced by heparin and heparin analogs against its target proteases, mainly thrombin, factors Xa and IXa. Considerable amount of information is available on the multistep mechanism of the heparin pentasaccharide binding and conformational activation. However, much of the details were inferred from ‘static’ structures obtained by X-ray diffraction. Moreover, limited information is available for the early steps of binding mechanism other than kinetic studies with various ligands. To gain insights into these processes, we performed enhanced sampling molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using the Gaussian Accelerated Molecular Dynamics (GAMD) method, applied previously in drug binding studies. We were able to observe the binding of the pentasaccharide idraparinux to a ‘non-activated’ AT conformation in two separate trajectories with low root mean square deviation (RMSD) values compared to X-ray structures of the bound state. These trajectories along with further simulations of the AT-pentasaccharide complex provided insights into the mechanisms of multiple conformational transitions, including the expulsion of the hinge region, the extension of helix D and the conformational behavior of the reactive center loop (RCL). We could also confirm the high stability of helix P in non-activated AT conformations, such states might play an important role in heparin binding. ‘Generalized correlation’ matrices revealed possible paths of allosteric signal propagation to the binding sites for the target proteases, factors Xa and IXa. Enhanced MD simulations of ligand binding to AT may assist the design of new anticoagulant drugs. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma
