description: Multiview analysis aims at extracting shared latent components from data samples that are acquired in different domains, e.g., image, text, and audio. Classic multiview analysis, e.g., canonical correlation analysis (CCA), tackles this problem via matching the linearly transformed views in a certain latent domain. More recently, powerful nonlinear learning tools such as kernel methods and neural networks are utilized for enhancing the classic CCA. However, unlike linear CCA whose theoretical aspects are clearly understood, nonlinear CCA approaches are largely intuition-driven. In particular, it is unclear under what conditions the shared latent components across the views can be identified---while identifiability plays an essential role in many applications. In this work, we revisit nonlinear multiview analysis and address both the theoretical and computational aspects. Our work leverages a useful nonlinear model, namely, the post-nonlinear model, from the nonlinear mixture separation literature. Combining with multiview data, we take a nonlinear multiview mixture learning viewpoint, which is a natural extension of the classic generative models for linear CCA. From there, we derive a learning criterion. We show that minimizing this criterion leads to identification of the latent shared components up to certain ambiguities, under reasonable conditions. Our derivation and formulation also offer new insights and interpretations to existing deep neural network-based CCA formulations. On the computation side, we propose an effective algorithm with simple and scalable update rules. A series of simulations and real-data experiments corroborate our theoretical analysis.

description: Abstract: Background: Although obesity is a well-known risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes, evidence is sparse about the effects of interpregnancy weight change on the risk of adverse perinatal complications in a subsequent pregnancy. The current study aims to assess the effect of interpregnancy weight change on the risk of developing gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, pregnancy induced hypertension, preterm birth, or delivering a large- or small-for-gestational age neonate. Methods: Pubmed, Ovid Embase, ClinicalTrial.gov and the Cochrane library were systematically searched up until July 24th, 2019. Interpregnancy weight change was defined as the difference between pre-pregnancy weight of an index pregnancy and a consecutive pregnancy. Inclusion criteria included full text original articles reporting quantitative data about interpregnancy weight change in multiparous women with any time interval between consecutive births and the risk of any perinatal complication of interest. Studies reporting adjusted odds ratios and a reference group of − 1 to + 1 BMI unit change between pregnancies were harmonised by meta-analysis. Results: Twenty-three cohort studies identified a total of 671,906 women with two or more consecutive pregnancies. Seven of these studies were included in the meta-analysis (280,672 women). Interpregnancy weight gain was consistently associated with a higher risk of gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, pregnancy induced hypertension and large-for-gestational age births. In contrast, interpregnancy weight loss was associated with a lower risk of delivering a large-for-gestational age neonate. The effect magnitude (relative risk) of interpregnancy weight gain on pregnancy induced hypertension or delivering a large-for-gestational age neonate was greater among women with a normal BMI in the index pregnancy compared to women with a starting BMI ≥25 kg/m2. Conclusion: These findings confirm that interpregnancy weight change impacts the risk of developing perinatal complications in a subsequent pregnancy. This provides evidence in support of guidelines encouraging women to achieve post-partum weight loss, as their risk of perinatal complications might be minimised if they return to their pre-pregnancy weight before conceiving again.

description: Liquid xenon particle detectors rely on excellent light collection efficiency for their performance. This depends on the high reflectivity of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) at the xenon scintillation wavelength of 178 nm, but the angular dependence of this reflectivity is not well-understood. IBEX is designed to directly measure the angular distribution of xenon scintillation light reflected off PTFE in liquid xenon. These measurements are fully described by a microphysical reflectivity model with few free parameters. Dependence on PTFE type, surface finish, xenon pressure, and wavelength of incident light is explored. Total internal reflection is observed, which results in the dominance of specular over diffuse reflection and a reflectivity near 100% for high angles of incidence.

description: Efficient control of magnetism with electric means is a central issue of current spintronics research, which opens an opportunity to design integrated spintronic devices. However, recent well-studied methods are mostly based on electric-current injection, and they are inevitably accompanied by considerable energy losses through Joule heating. Here we theoretically propose a way to exert spin torques into magnetic bilayer systems by application of electric voltages through taking advantage of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. The torques resemble the well-known electric-current-induced torques, providing similar controllability of magnetism but without Joule-heating energy losses. The torques also turn out to work as an interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction which enables us to activate and create noncollinear magnetism like skyrmions by electric-voltage application. Our proposal offers an efficient technique to manipulate magnetizations in spintronics devices without Joule-heating energy losses.

description: We present an analysis of the neutrino oscillation solutions of the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems in the framework of four-neutrino mixing where a sterile neutrino is added to the three standard ones and the mass spectra presents two separated doublets. Such scenarios allow for simultaneous transitions of solar $ν_e$, as well as atmospheric $ν_μ$, into active and sterile neutrinos controlled by the additional mixing angles $\vartheta_{23}$ and $\vartheta_{24}$, and they contain as limiting cases the pure solar $ν_e$-active and $ν_e$-sterile neutrino oscillations, and the pure atmospheric $ν_μ\toν_s$ and $ν_μ\toν_τ$ oscillations, respectively. We evaluate the allowed active-sterile admixture in both solar and atmospheric oscillations from the combined analysis. Our results show that, although the Super-Kamiokande data disfavour both the pure $ν_μ\toν_s$ atmospheric channel and the pure $ν_e\toν_s$ solar channel, the result from the combined analysis still favours close-to-pure active and sterile oscillations and disfavours oscillations into a near-maximal active-sterile admixture.

description: Abstract: Background: Measures of abdominal adiposity are strongly associated with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, data are limited and conflicting regarding the consequences of changes in body fat distribution. The main aims of this paper are to investigate the association between changes in waist circumference (WC) and all-cause and CVD mortality and to examine these changes in relation to concurrent changes in weight. Methods: The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC-Norfolk) study recruited 25,639 participants between 1993 and 1997, aged 39–79, a number of whom also attended a second examination (1998–2000), and were followed up to 2016 for mortality. Participants were eligible for inclusion if they had WC, weight and height measurements at both time-points; those with a self-reported history of CVD or cancer, body mass index < 18.5 kg/m2 or missing data on covariates were excluded, leaving 12,337 participants for analyses. The median (IQR) follow-up time was 16.4 (15.7, 17.2) years. Hazard Ratios (HRs) for all-cause (2866 deaths) and CVD mortality (822 deaths), by categories of WC change, were determined using Cox proportional hazards analyses. Results: After multivariable adjustment, the HRs (95% CIs) for all-cause mortality for men and women with a WC gain (WCG) > 5 cm were 1.51 (1.29–1.75) and 1.25 (1.06–1.46) respectively. For CVD mortality in men and women with a WCG > 5 cm, the HRs were 1.84 (1.39–2.43) and 1.15 (0.85–1.55) respectively. In analyses of concurrent changes in WC and weight, the greatest risk (HRs) (95% CIs) in men occurred with weight loss and WCG: 1.80 (1.13–2.86) for all-cause and 2.22 (1.03–4.82) for CVD mortality. In women, the greatest risk for both all-cause (HR 1.50 (1.16–1.95)) and CVD mortality (HR 1.81 (1.15–2.85)) was observed in those with weight loss and maintenance of WC (WCM). Conclusions: Objectively measured WCG > 5 cm, was associated with subsequent higher total mortality risk and higher CVD mortality risk in men. Interventions focusing on preventing increase in central adiposity rather than lowering weight per se in later life may potentially have greater health benefits.

description: Collaborative governance applied to environmental issues is becoming more common, and evaluation of such efforts can provide useful information for multiple audiences. However, due to a variety of challenges, collaborative governance practitioners rarely evaluate the outcomes of collaboration and their contributions to these efforts. With these challenges in mind, the William D. Ruckelshaus Center designed an evaluation framework that can meet multiple parties’ objectives, be integrated into practitioners’ existing services, and balance flexibility and practicality with rigor and replicability. The Center conducted a pilot of this framework on a collaborative watershed management effort in southeastern Washington State, where the Center had previously assisted with organizational development. The resulting evaluation highlights a variety of social, knowledge-based, and economic outcomes for the collaborative, as well as lessons for practitioners and evaluators of collaborative governance. We suggest that this methodology can be useful for practitioners interested in evaluating similar collaborative efforts.

description: Funder: University of Cambridge
description: Abstract: We propose a variational regularisation approach for the problem of template-based image reconstruction from indirect, noisy measurements as given, for instance, in X-ray computed tomography. An image is reconstructed from such measurements by deforming a given template image. The image registration is directly incorporated into the variational regularisation approach in the form of a partial differential equation that models the registration as either mass- or intensity-preserving transport from the template to the unknown reconstruction. We provide theoretical results for the proposed variational regularisation for both cases. In particular, we prove existence of a minimiser, stability with respect to the data, and convergence for vanishing noise when either of the abovementioned equations is imposed and more general distance functions are used. Numerically, we solve the problem by extending existing Lagrangian methods and propose a multilevel approach that is applicable whenever a suitable downsampling procedure for the operator and the measured data can be provided. Finally, we demonstrate the performance of our method for template-based image reconstruction from highly undersampled and noisy Radon transform data. We compare results for mass- and intensity-preserving image registration, various regularisation functionals, and different distance functions. Our results show that very reasonable reconstructions can be obtained when only few measurements are available and demonstrate that the use of a normalised cross correlation-based distance is advantageous when the image intensities between the template and the unknown image differ substantially.

description: The interaction of selfish, rational actors in the provision of a public good is analyzed, in an attempt to explain recent experimental findings as well as real-world cases of voluntary collective action.

The impacts of income effects and of the price elasticity of demand for the public good are given special emphasis.

description: The most promising source of SUGRA signal at the Tevatron collider is the pair-production of electroweak gauginos, followed by their leptonic decay. In the parameter range corresponding to dominant leptonic decay of these gauginos one or more of the leptons are expected to be $τ$ with $P_τ\simeq +1$. This polarization can be effectively used to distinguish the signal from the background in the 1-prong hadronic decay channel of $τ$ by looking at the fractional $τ$-jet momentum carried by the charged prong.

description: Materials discovery is decisive for tackling urgent challenges related to energy, the environment, health care and many others. In chemistry, conventional methodologies for innovation usually rely on expensive and incremental strategies to optimize properties from molecular structures. On the other hand, inverse approaches map properties to structures, thus expediting the design of novel useful compounds. In this chapter, we examine the way in which current deep generative models are addressing the inverse chemical discovery paradigm. We begin by revisiting early inverse design algorithms. Then, we introduce generative models for molecular systems and categorize them according to their architecture and molecular representation. Using this classification, we review the evolution and performance of important molecular generation schemes reported in the literature. Finally, we conclude highlighting the prospects and challenges of generative models as cutting edge tools in materials discovery.

description: Abstract: The simple topology and modular architecture of tandem-repeat proteins such as tetratricopeptide repeats (TPRs) and ankyrin repeats makes them straightforward to dissect and redesign. Repeat-protein stability can be manipulated in a predictable way using site-specific mutations. Here we explore a different type of modification - loop insertion - that will enable a simple route to functionalisation of this versatile scaffold. We previously showed that a single loop insertion has a dramatically different effect on stability depending on its location in the repeat array. Here we dissect this effect by a combination of multiple and alternated loop insertions to understand the origins of the context-dependent loss in stability. We find that the scaffold is remarkably robust in that its overall structure is maintained. However, adjacent repeats are now only weakly coupled, and consequently the increase in solvent protection, and thus stability, with increasing repeat number that defines the tandem-repeat protein class is lost. Our results also provide us with a rulebook with which we can apply these principles to the design of artificial repeat proteins with precisely tuned folding landscapes and functional capabilities, thereby paving the way for their exploitation as a versatile and truly modular platform in synthetic biology.

description: This paper contributes towards the development of motion tracking algorithms for time-critical applications, proposing an infrastructure for solving dynamically the inverse kinematics of highly articulate systems such as humans. We present a method based on the integration of differential kinematics using distance measurement on SO(3) for which the convergence is proved using Lyapunov analysis. An experimental scenario, where the motion of a human subject is tracked in static and dynamic configurations, is used to validate the inverse kinematics method performance on human and humanoid models. Moreover, the method is tested on a human-humanoid retargeting scenario, verifying the usability of the computed solution for real-time robotics applications. Our approach is evaluated both in terms of accuracy and computational load, and compared to iterative optimization algorithms.

description: We present infrared photometry of the Galactic Bulge X-ray binary systems GX13+1 and GX17+2 obtained in 1997 July and August using OSIRIS on the 1.8m Perkins Telescope at Lowell Observatory. GX13+1 clearly varies over ~0.6 magnitudes in the K-band. Our light curve suggests a modulation on a timescale of ~20 days, which is in agreement with previously proposed orbital periods for the system. The IR counterpart of GX17+2 is also variable in the K-band over \~0.8 magnitudes on a timescale of days to weeks, extending the variability first seen by Naylor, Charles, & Longmore (1991). We discuss the implications our data have for Deutsch et al's (1999) identification of ``star A'' as the true IR counterpart of GX17+2. The variability observed in our photometry of the blend of star A and the foreground star NP Ser implies a ~4 magnitude intrinsic variation in the K-band for GX17+2.

Wallerian degeneration
Axonal protection
Dendritic spines

description: Abstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative condition that primarily affects the motor system and shares many features with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Evidence suggests that ALS is a ‘dying-back’ disease, with peripheral denervation and axonal degeneration occurring before loss of motor neuron cell bodies. Distal to a nerve injury, a similar pattern of axonal degeneration can be seen, which is mediated by an active axon destruction mechanism called Wallerian degeneration. Sterile alpha and TIR motif-containing 1 (Sarm1) is a key gene in the Wallerian pathway and its deletion provides long-term protection against both Wallerian degeneration and Wallerian-like, non-injury induced axonopathy, a retrograde degenerative process that occurs in many neurodegenerative diseases where axonal transport is impaired. Here, we explored whether Sarm1 signalling could be a therapeutic target for ALS by deleting Sarm1 from a mouse model of ALS-FTD, a TDP-43Q331K, YFP-H double transgenic mouse. Sarm1 deletion attenuated motor axon degeneration and neuromuscular junction denervation. Motor neuron cell bodies were also significantly protected. Deletion of Sarm1 also attenuated loss of layer V pyramidal neuronal dendritic spines in the primary motor cortex. Structural MRI identified the entorhinal cortex as the most significantly atrophic region, and histological studies confirmed a greater loss of neurons in the entorhinal cortex than in the motor cortex, suggesting a prominent FTD-like pattern of neurodegeneration in this transgenic mouse model. Despite the reduction in neuronal degeneration, Sarm1 deletion did not attenuate age-related behavioural deficits caused by TDP-43Q331K. However, Sarm1 deletion was associated with a significant increase in the viability of male TDP-43Q331K mice, suggesting a detrimental role of Wallerian-like pathways in the earliest stages of TDP-43Q331K-mediated neurodegeneration. Collectively, these results indicate that anti-SARM1 strategies have therapeutic potential in ALS-FTD.

description: We report a biased QM/MM molecular dynamics study of the dissociation process of cytidine-cytidine complexes mediated by Ag+ or H+ ions. We performed calculations under real solvent conditions and obtained the free energy profiles (FEP) by thermodynamic integration technique to give deep insights on the dissociation process. For all geometries corresponding to key points on FEP the noncovalent interaction descriptors (NCI) were calculated and the details of dissociation mechanism were revealed. Our findings by means of energy barrier analysis of FEP for Ag+ -mediated cytidines suggested more favorable cisoid over transoid configuration, in contrast to H+ mediated cytidines. The existence of two energy minima in FEP, local and global, in all Ag+ and H+ complexes before the dissociation transition state was revealed for the first time. We showed that the global minimum of dissociation profiles for both Ag+ -mediated cytidine isomers does not correspond to the previously obtained QM equilibrium geometries. Our results induce future studies of longer silver mediated DNA strands comprising cytosines by QM/MM-MD.

description: Simulation models are widely used in applied economics to improve understanding of how a system could behave under different conditions. However, the potential degree to which such models can influence decision making depends on their ability to provide an adequate description of the important elements of a given problem. A systematic and robust procedure for the development and application of such models in agricultural, ecological, environmental and natural resource economics is presented. This process is based on the authors’ experience across a broad range of model types and applications and extensive literature review. The practical impact of simulation models is argued to be greater where stakeholders and technical experts are consulted extensively throughout the modelling process.

description: Presentationen genomfördes i ramen av en doktorandkurs på Humanistiska Fakulteten på Stockholms universitet.Kursen handlar om en introduktion till språkvetenskaplig diskursanalys. Idén är att visa hur man kopplar en språkvetenskaplig analys till en diskursanalys. Ordet "diskurs" kan låta abstrakt men ofta kan man kategorisera en diskurs med hjälp av språkliga uttryck. Det är det Michel Foucault och Norman Fairclough gör för att beskriva en diskursiv formation.

description: Most Australian capital cities require many 100,000s of additional dwellings to accommodate demographic change and population pressures in the next two or three decades. Urban growth will come in the form of infill, consolidation and urban expansion. Plans to redevelop environmental amenities such as parks and open green spaces are regularly being put forward to local councils and State governments. Maintaining parks and reserves represents one of the largest costs to local councils. To aid in the evaluation of some of the different propositions, we report the results of a spatial hedonic pricing model with fixed effects for Adelaide, South Australia. The results indicate that the private benefits of a close proximity to golf courses, green space sporting facilities, or the coast, are in the order $0.54, $1.58, and $4.99 per metre closer (when evaluated at the median respectively). The historic Adelaide Parklands add $1.55 to a property’s value for each additional metre closer. We demonstrate how the estimated model could be used to calculate how local private benefits capitalized in property values change with changes in the configuration of a park.

description: Detecting exoplanets by direct imaging is a difficult task that systematically requires the use of advanced post-processing algorithms in addition to an efficient adaptive optics and coronagraphic system. The upcoming thirty meters class telescopes will enable exploring the inner stellar environments where the typical contrast levels to reach will require long exposure times only achievable by combining several observations conducted days, weeks, or months apart. For such observations, the orbital motion of exoplanets will no longer be negligible, and a proper orbital modeling will be crucial to combine multi-epoch observations without drastically degrading the detection confidence and the achievable contrast. In that context, we recently developed the PACOME algorithm which efficiently combines observations of the same star while accounting for the Keplerian motion of the sought exoplanets within an end-to-end statistical detection formalism. The sensitivity and reliability of the proposed method constitute major advantages in the field to detect new companions at a statistically grounded confidence level. In this paper, we consider a case-study example of thirteen VLT/SPHERE-IRDIS observations of the HD 95086 system, and we illustrate the efficiency of the PACOME by (re-)detecting HD 95086 b with a very high multi-epoch signal-to-noise ratio of 53.7. We also derive its orbital elements posterior distributions.
How natural is a small \barθin left-right SUSY models ?

description: In the world without an axion the smallness of $\barθ$ may be achieved due to a spontaneously broken discrete left-right symmetry. We analyze the radiatively induced \barθin the context of generic left-right symmetric SUSY models without assuming flavor degeneracy in the squark sector. Left-right symmetry allows to keep \barθwithin its present bound only if the inter-generational mass splitting in the squark sector at the scale of the left-right symmetry breaking is smaller than 0.5%. We also consider the naturalness of m_u=0 solution to the strong CP problem in the context of horizontal flavor symmetries. A strong bound on the combination of the horizontal charges in the Up quark sector is found in this case.

description: Tumor motion plays a key role in the safe delivery of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for pancreatic cancer. The purpose of this study was to use tumor motion data measured in patients to establish limits on motion magnitude for safe delivery of pancreatic SBRT. Using 91 sets of pancreatic tumor motion data measured in patients, we calculated motion-convolved dose for 25 pancreatic cancer patients, and established the maximum amount of motion allowable while satisfying error thresholds on key dose metrics. In our patient cohort, the mean [min-max] allowable motion for 33/40/50 Gy to the PTV was 11.9 [6.3-22.4], 10.4 [5.2-19.1] and 9.0 [4.2-16.0] mm, respectively. Maximum allowable motion decreased as dose was escalated, and was smaller in patients with larger tumors. The effects of motion on pancreatic SBRT are highly variable between patients and there is potential to allow more motion in certain patients, even in dose-escalated scenarios. In our dataset, a conservative limit of 6.3 mm would ensure safe treatment of all patients treated to 33 Gy in 5 fractions.

description: We analyze the decay $D_s\to ϕπ$ with QCD factorization in the heavy quark limit. The nonfactorizable contributions, including hard spectator contribution are discussed and numerical results are presented. Our predictions on the branching ratio of the decay are in agreement with the experiment. We also use a pure phenomenological method to estimate the branching ratio for $D_s\to ϕπ$ with the existed $D^0\to K^{*}π$ data.

description: In this study, we analyse effort optimisation in common rights-based joint-stock artisanal fisheries when several objectives are pursued by the authorities and the fleets are heterogeneous. The purpose is to discuss policy options available to the authorities and their implications in terms of trade-offs between goals. We apply a multi-objective programming model to the sardine and anchovy artisanal fisheries in central southern Chile. The results suggest that the regulatory system generates inefficient solutions for profit and employment maximisation goals. Moreover, the fleet structure of the artisanal organisations is central for the outcomes obtained by different policy simulations. To improve effort assignment, the authorities should seek to increase flexibility in the system.

description: Abstract: Drosophila melanogaster has long been a popular model insect species, due in large part to the availability of genetic tools and is fast becoming the model for insect colour vision. Key to understanding colour reception in Drosophila is in-depth knowledge of spectral inputs and downstream neural processing. While recent studies have sparked renewed interest in colour processing in Drosophila, photoreceptor spectral sensitivity measurements have yet to be carried out in vivo. We have fully characterised the spectral input to the motion and colour vision pathways, and directly measured the effects of spectral modulating factors, screening pigment density and carotenoid-based ocular pigments. All receptor sensitivities had significant shifts in spectral sensitivity compared to previous measurements. Notably, the spectral range of the Rh6 visual pigment is substantially broadened and its peak sensitivity is shifted by 92 nm from 508 to 600 nm. We show that this deviation can be explained by transmission of long wavelengths through the red screening pigment and by the presence of the blue-absorbing filter in the R7y receptors. Further, we tested direct interactions between inner and outer photoreceptors using selective recovery of activity in photoreceptor pairs.
