description: The distribution of errors is a central object in the assesment and benchmarking of computational chemistry methods. The popular and often blind use of the mean unsigned error as a benchmarking statistic leads to ignore distributions features that impact the reliability of the tested methods. We explore how the Gini coefficient offers a global representation of the errors distribution, but, except for extreme values, does not enable an unambiguous diagnostic. We propose to relieve the ambiguity by applying the Gini coefficient to mode-centered error distributions. This version can usefully complement benchmarking statistics and alert on error sets with potentially problematic shapes.

description: Long Range Wide Area Networks (LoRaWAN) is an open medium access control (MAC) layer technology devised for the long range connectivity of massive number of low power network devices. This work gives an overview of the key aspects of LoRaWAN technology and presents results that we achieved via extensive evaluation of Class A LoRaWAN devices in different network settings using the state-of-the-art network simulator (NS-3). At first, we focus on a single device and its mobility. We further undertook evaluations in an extended network scenario with a changing number of devices and traffic intensity. In particular, we evaluate the packet delivery ratio (PDR), uplink (UL) throughput, and sub-band utilization for the confirmed and unconfirmed UL transmissions in different environments. Our results give new insights for future efforts to optimize the LoRaWAN performance for different large scale Internet of Things (IoT) applications with low power end devices.

description: Filling of single-wall carbon nanotubes with C59N azafullerene derivatives is reported from toluene solvent at ambient temperature. The filling is characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The filling efficiency is the same as for C60 fullerenes and the tube-azafullerene interaction is similar to the tube-C60 interaction. Vacuum annealing of the encapsulated azafullerene results in the growth of inner tubes, however no spectroscopic signature of nitrogen built in the inner walls is detected.

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: 10399 Numerical and Computational Mathematics not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper, we present a Mesh-Connected Computer algorithm to construct the Voronoi diagram of a set of planar points. Given a set of n planar points our algorithm constructs a Voronoi diagram on an O (√n x √n) MCC with the constant storage per processer in O(√n log n) time. Using the Voronoi diagram, the problem of determining the nearest neighbor between two sets and constructing the Euclidean minimum spanning trees can be solved with the same time complexity on the MCC. The best sequential algorithms for constructing the Voronoi diagram have an optimal O(n log n) time complexity. Previous known parallel algorithm for this problem requires O(log3n) time on a Parallel Random Access Machine and O(log4n) time on the Cube-Connected-cycles with O(log n) storage per PE.

description: The process of the elastic scattering of photons on atoms, known as the Rayleigh scattering, is investigated. Expressing the scattering observables in terms of the electric and magnetic complex scattering amplitudes, we work over the scenarios for their independent benchmarking by experiments. In particular, the combination of the cross section and polarization transfer of initially linearly polarized light provides an opportunity for a complete experiment for any but fixed scattering angle. It allows us to deduce the modulus of the electric and magnetic amplitudes together with the phase difference individually. The findings are illustrated by the theoretical calculations of the scattering of 150 - 250 keV photons on lead atoms.

description: It has often been conjectured that the effectiveness of line drawings can be explained by the similarity of edge images to line drawings. This paper presents several problems with explaining line drawing perception in terms of edges, and how the recently-proposed Realism Hypothesis of Hertzmann (2020) resolves these problems. There is nonetheless existing evidence that edges are often the best features for predicting where people draw lines; this paper describes how the Realism Hypothesis can explain this evidence.

description: Spectral lines from N-like ions can be used to measure the temperature and density of various types of astrophysical plasmas. The atomic databases of astrophysical plasma modelling codes still have room for improvement in their electron-impact excitation data sets for N-like ions, especially $R$-matrix data. This is particularly relevant for future observatories (e.g. Arcus) which will host high-resolution spectrometers. We aim to obtain level-resolved effective collision strengths for all transitions up to $nl=5d$ over a wide range of temperatures for N-like ions from O II to Zn XXIV (i.e., O$^{+}$ to Zn$^{23+}$) and to assess the accuracy of the present work. We also examine the impact of our new data on plasma diagnostics by modelling solar observations with CHIANTI. We have carried-out systematic $R$-matrix calculations for N-like ions which included 725 fine-structure target levels in both the configuration interaction target and close-coupling collision expansions. The $R$-matrix intermediate coupling frame transformation method was used to calculate the collision strengths, while the AUTOSTRUCTURE code was used for the atomic structures. We compare the present results for selected ions with those in archival databases and the literature. The comparison covers energy levels, oscillator strengths, and effective collision strengths. We show examples of improved plasma diagnostics when compared to CHIANTI models which use only distorted wave data as well as some which use previous $R$-matrix data. The electron-impact excitation data are archived according to the Atomic Data and Analysis Structure (ADAS) data class it adf04 and will be available in OPEN-ADAS. The data can be used to improve the atomic databases for astrophysical plasma diagnostics.

This family includes a quiver gauge theory for the third del Pezzo surface. We show, using Z-minimaization, that these theories generically have irrational R-charges. The AdS/CFT correspondence implies that the dual geometries are irregular toric Sasaki-Einstein manifolds, although we do not know the explicit metrics.

description: In this paper, we study the problem of estimating latent variable models with arbitrarily corrupted samples in high dimensional space ({\em i.e.,} $d\gg n$) where the underlying parameter is assumed to be sparse. Specifically, we propose a method called Trimmed (Gradient) Expectation Maximization which adds a trimming gradients step and a hard thresholding step to the Expectation step (E-step) and the Maximization step (M-step), respectively. We show that under some mild assumptions and with an appropriate initialization, the algorithm is corruption-proofing and converges to the (near) optimal statistical rate geometrically when the fraction of the corrupted samples $ε$ is bounded by $ \tilde{O}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}})$. Moreover, we apply our general framework to three canonical models: mixture of Gaussians, mixture of regressions and linear regression with missing covariates. Our theory is supported by thorough numerical results.

description: Silicon single-photon detectors (SPDs) are key devices for detecting single photons in the visible wavelength range. Photon detection efficiency (PDE) is one of the most important parameters of silicon SPDs, and increasing PDE is highly required for many applications. Here, we present a practical approach to increase PDE of silicon SPD with a monolithic integrated circuit of active quenching and active reset (AQAR). The AQAR integrated circuit is specifically designed for thick silicon single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) with high breakdown voltage (250-450 V), and then fabricated via the process of high-voltage 0.35-$μ$m bipolarCMOS-DMOS. The AQAR integrated circuit implements the maximum transition voltage of ~ 68 V with 30 ns quenching time and 10 ns reset time, which can easily boost PDE to the upper limit by regulating the excess bias up to a high enough level. By using the AQAR integrated circuit, we design and characterize two SPDs with the SPADs disassembled from commercial products of single-photon counting modules (SPCMs). Compared with the original SPCMs, the PDE values are increased from 68.3% to 73.7% and 69.5% to 75.1% at 785 nm, respectively, with moderate increases of dark count rate and afterpulse probability. Our approach can effectively improve the performance of the practical applications requiring silicon SPDs.

title: Intercellular communication during human pluripotent stem cell lineage specification
Creators: name: Christopher, Grace A.
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: During embryonic germ layer development, cells must communicate with each other and their environment to ensure proper lineage specification and tissue development. Proteins of the connexin (Cx) or pannexin (PANX) protein families mediate cellular communication. Cx’s facilitate direct cell-cell communication through gap junction channels, while PANXs release small molecules into the extracellular space for autocrine or paracrine signalling. While previous reports suggest that gap junctional intercellular communication may contribute to germ layer formation, there have been no comprehensive expression analyses or genetic ablation studies on either Cxs or PANXs during human pluripotent stem cell (PSC) specification to the three embryonic germ lineages. I screened the mRNA profile and select protein expression of human Cx and PANX isoforms in undifferentiated human induced pluripotent stem cells and after directed differentiation into the three embryonic germ lineages: ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm. RT-qPCR analysis of control iPSCs revealed upregulation of Cx62 in iPSC-derived ectoderm cells, Cx45 upregulation in ectoderm and mesoderm cells, and enrichment of Cx30.3, Cx31, Cx32, Cx36, Cx37 and Cx40 in endoderm. However, Cx43 and PANX1 remain highly expressed in iPSCs as well as cells of each germ lineage. Despite high expression levels, both the Cx43 and the PANX1 CRISPR-Cas9 knockout iPSCs each successfully differentiated into cells of all three germ layers, suggesting that Cx43 and PANX1 are dispensable during directed iPSC lineage specification. This is the first comprehensive analysis of Cx and PANX isoform expression throughout iPSC germ layer segregation. Future studies will reveal whether other Cx or PANX isoforms compensate for the loss of Cx43 and/or PANX1 in the generated knockout iPSCs cells during germ lineage specification.

description: The light scalar nonets are studied using the QCD sum rules for the tetraquark operators. The operator product expansion for the correlators is calculated up to dimension 12 and this enables us to perform analyses retaining sufficient pole-dominance. To classify the light scalar nonets, we investigate the dependence on current quark mass and flavor dynamics. Especially, to examine the latter, we study separately SU(3) singlet and octet states, and show that the number of annihilation diagrams is largely responsible for their differences, which is also the case even after the inclusion of the finite quark mass. Our results support the tetraquark picture for isosinglets, while that for octets is not conclusive yet.

description: It is shown that stationary vortex structures can be excited in a ferrite film. This is the first proposal for creating vortex structures in the important cm and mm wavelength ranges. It is shown that both linear and nonlinear structures can be excited using a three-beam interaction created with circular antennae. These give rise to a special phase distribution created by linear and nonlinear mixing. An interesting set of three clockwise rotating vortices joined by one counter-rotating one presents itself in the linear regime: a scenario that is only qualitatively changed by the onset of nonlinearity. It is pointed out that control of the vortex structure, through parametric coupling, based upon a microwave resonator, is possible and that there are many interesting possibilities for applications.

Empiric risk to first degree relatives of individuals with non-autosomal dominant alzheimer’s disease
Creators: name: Bourque, Sylvie Alice
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The primary objective of this thesis was to determine if patients with early onset (<65 years) non-autosomal dominant AD are more genetically loaded i.e., have more AD liability genes, than patients with late onset (> 65 years) non-autosomal dominant AD. Secondary aims were: (i) to examine the effect(s) of the gender of the index case on the risk of AD to first degree relatives (ii) to examine the effect(s) of the gender of the first degree relative on their AD risk (iii) to examine the effect(s) of the relationship between the index case and the first degree relative (parent or sib) on the relative's risk of AD (iv) to compare the risk estimates for first degree relatives of non-autosomal dominant AD cases with those for first degree relatives of controls to determine genetic loading, and (v) if certain subgroups of first degree relatives of AD cases were at an increased risk, to determine whether this was reflected in the general population. Kaplan-Meier age-specific risk estimates were calculated for the 2519 first degree relatives of the 453 early and late onset non-autosomal dominant AD cases seen at the Clinic for Alzheimer Disease and Related Disorders -UBC Site from 1985 to 1995. Kaplan-Meier risk estimates were also calculated for 4324 first degree relatives of 796 controls taken from the Canadian Study of Health and Aging (CSHA). The cumulative lifetime risk estimate to age 88 for first degree relatives of early onset cases was 7.9± 2.1% compared to 8.0± 1.5% for first degree relatives of late onset cases, and 4.1 ± 0.6% for first degree relatives of controls. The difference between the cumulative lifetime risk estimates for first degree relatives of early and late onset cases was not significant (Z=0.04, p=0.48). The cumulative lifetime risk estimate for first degree relatives of late onset cases was significantly different from the cumulative lifetime risk estimate for first degree relatives of controls (Z=2.41, p<.01). These results argue against increased genetic loading in early onset non-autosomal dominant AD cases in relation to late onset non-autosomal AD cases. Increased familial aggregation in first degree relatives of late onset non-autosomal dominant cases in relation to controls suggests that genetic loading in non-autosomal dominant AD cases may be greater than in controls, and therefore provides data that there might be genetic factors contributing to liability for non-autosomal dominant AD. Risk estimates for parents and sibs and for first degree relatives of female and male cases and controls were not significantly different. The risk to female first degree relatives of cases was significantly higher than the risk to male first degree relatives; however this was shown to be reflect the gender ratio found in the general Canadian population.

description: Increased availability of epidemiological data, novel digital data streams, and the rise of powerful machine learning approaches have generated a surge of research activity on real-time epidemic forecast systems. In this paper, we propose the use of a novel data source, namely retail market data to improve seasonal influenza forecasting. Specifically, we consider supermarket retail data as a proxy signal for influenza, through the identification of sentinel baskets, i.e., products bought together by a population of selected customers. We develop a nowcasting and forecasting framework that provides estimates for influenza incidence in Italy up to 4 weeks ahead. We make use of the Support Vector Regression (SVR) model to produce the predictions of seasonal flu incidence. Our predictions outperform both a baseline autoregressive model and a second baseline based on product purchases. The results show quantitatively the value of incorporating retail market data in forecasting models, acting as a proxy that can be used for the real-time analysis of epidemics.

description: Peer-review is a necessary and essential quality control step for scientific publications but lacks proper incentives. Indeed, the process, which is very costly in terms of time and intellectual investment, not only is not remunerated by the journals but is also not openly recognized by the academic community as a relevant scientific output for a researcher. Therefore, scientific dissemination is affected in timeliness, quality, and fairness. Here, to solve this issue, we propose a blockchain-based incentive system that rewards scientists for peer-reviewing other scientists' work and that builds up trust and reputation. We designed a privacy-oriented protocol of smart contracts called Ants-Review that allows authors to issue a bounty for open anonymous peer-reviews on Ethereum. If requirements are met, peer-reviews will be accepted and paid by the approver proportionally to their assessed quality. To promote ethical behavior and inclusiveness the system implements a gamified mechanism that allows the whole community to evaluate the peer-reviews and vote for the best ones.

description: While the invention of holography by Dennis Gabor truly constitutes an ingenious concept, it has ever since been troubled by the so called twin image problem limiting the information that can be obtained from a holographic record. Due to symmetry reasons there are always two images appearing in the reconstruction process. Thus, the reconstructed object is obscured by its unwanted out of focus twin image. Especially for emission electron as well as for x- and gamma-ray holography, where the source-object distances are small, the reconstructed images of atoms are very close to their twin images from which they can hardly be distinguished. In some particular instances only, experimental efforts could remove the twin images. More recently, numerical methods to diminish the effect of the twin image have been proposed but are limited to purely absorbing objects failing to account for phase shifts caused by the object. Here we show a universal method to reconstruct a hologram completely free of twin images disturbance while no assumptions about the object need to be imposed. Both, amplitude and true phase distributions are retrieved without distortion.

description: Deep unfolding networks have recently gained popularity in the context of solving imaging inverse problems. However, the computational and memory complexity of data-consistency layers within traditional deep unfolding networks scales with the number of measurements, limiting their applicability to large-scale imaging inverse problems. We propose SGD-Net as a new methodology for improving the efficiency of deep unfolding through stochastic approximations of the data-consistency layers. Our theoretical analysis shows that SGD-Net can be trained to approximate batch deep unfolding networks to an arbitrary precision. Our numerical results on intensity diffraction tomography and sparse-view computed tomography show that SGD-Net can match the performance of the batch network at a fraction of training and testing complexity.
Towards cosmological constraints from the compressed modal bispectrum: a robust comparison of real-space bispectrum estimators

description: Higher-order clustering statistics, like the galaxy bispectrum, can add complementary cosmological information to what is accessible with two-point statistics, like the power spectrum. While the standard way of measuring the bispectrum involves estimating a bispectrum value in a large number of Fourier triangle bins, the compressed modal bispectrum approximates the bispectrum as a linear combination of basis functions and estimates the expansion coefficients on the chosen basis. In this work, we compare the two estimators by using parallel pipelines to analyze the real-space halo bispectrum measured in a suite of $N$-body simulations corresponding to a total volume of $\sim 1{,}000 \,h^{-3}\,{\rm Gpc}^3$, with covariance matrices estimated from 10,000 mock halo catalogs. We find that the modal bispectrum yields constraints that are consistent and competitive with the standard bispectrum analysis: for the halo bias and shot noise parameters within the tree-level halo bispectrum model up to $k_{\rm max} \approx 0.06 \, (0.10) \,h\,{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$, only 6 (10) modal expansion coefficients are necessary to obtain constraints equivalent to the standard bispectrum estimator using $\sim$ 20 to 1,600 triangle bins, depending on the bin width. For this work, we have implemented a modal estimator pipeline using Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations for the first time, and we discuss in detail how the parameter posteriors and modal expansion are robust to, or sensitive to, several user settings within the modal bispectrum pipeline. The combination of the highly efficient compression that is achieved and the large number of mock catalogs available allows us to quantify how our modal bispectrum constraints depend on the number of mocks that are used to estimate covariance matrices and the functional form of the likelihood.

description: Accurate detection of quantum states is a vital step in the development of quantum computing. Image-charge detection of quantum states of electrons on liquid helium can potentially be used for the readout of a single-electron qubit; however, low sensitivity due to added noise hinders its usage in high fidelity and bandwidth (BW) applications. One method to improve the readout accuracy and bandwidth is to use cryogenic amplifications near the signal source to minimize the effects of stray capacitance. We experimentally demonstrate a two-stage amplification scheme with a low power dissipation of 90 μW at the first stage located at the still plate of the dilution refrigerator and a high gain of 40 dB at the second stage located at the 4 K plate. The good impedance matching between different stages and output devices ensure high BW and constant gain in a wide frequency range. The detected image-charge signals are compared for one-stage and two-stage amplification schemes.

description: We investigate the potential impact of forthcoming Jefferson Lab semi-inclusive polarized deep inelastic scattering proton measurements in the determination of the sea quark polarization in the nucleon by means of a next to leading order global QCD analysis. Specifically, we estimate the resulting improvement in the constraints on polarized parton densities for the different flavors, which is found to be significant for up and strange quarks, and the correlation between remaining uncertainty ranges for each of the parton species.

description: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the most prevalent diseases that also show sexual dimorphism in many different aspects. This study aimed to distinguish the mRNA expression of genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in men or women with T2D using a multistep analysis. A total of 95 patients with T2D were compared based on their sex in terms of clinical variables and mRNA expression in their PBMCs. Men with T2D had lower LDLC, HDLC, and HbA1c values in their blood, but greater creatinine levels. In men with T2D, TLR4, CCR2, NOX2, and p67phox mRNA expression was greater, but IL6 and NF-κB mRNA expression was lesser in PBMCs. There was a link between fasting plasma glucose (FPG), triglycerides, and hs-CRP, as well as COX1 mRNA in men with T2D. In women with T2D, FPG was associated with the mRNA expression of THBS1 and p67phox, as well as triglycerides and HDLC levels. We found the exclusive effect of FPG on HDLC, HbA1c, as well as p67phox mRNA in PBMCs of women with T2D. Analysis revealed the exclusive effect of FPG on hs-CRP and PAFR mRNA in PBMCs of men with T2D. FPG was shown to be associated with body mass index, hs-CRP, triglycerides, and COX1 mRNA in men with T2D, and with serum triglycerides, THSB1, and p67phox mRNA in women with T2D, according to network analysis. HbA1c was linked with NF-κB mRNA in women with T2D. Using a multistep analysis, it was shown that network analysis outperformed traditional analytic techniques in identifying sex-specific alterations in mRNA gene expression in PBMCs of T2D patients. The development of sex-specific therapeutic approaches may result from an understanding of these disparities.

description: A family of integrable $GL(NM)$ models is described. On the one hand it generalizes the classical spin Ruijsenaars--Schneider systems (the case $N=1$), and on the other hand it generalizes the relativistic integrable tops on $GL(N)$ Lie group (the case $M=1$). The described models are obtained by means of the Lax pair with spectral parameter. Equations of motion are derived. For the construction of the Lax representation the $GL(N)$ $R$--matrix in the fundamental representation of $GL(N)$ is used.

description: Social media users are not just potential consumers of political content they are also potential producers and distributors. In this paper, we test whether political predispositions or the popularity of posts best explains users’ engagement with political content on Facebook. Using a large-scale survey deployed in Denmark, we utilize a 2 × 2 × 3 survey experiment that manipulates the partisan sponsor of a political message, the number of likes attributed to that message, and the nature of the comments attached to that post. Our findings indicate that individuals are most likely to like, comment, and share political content that aligns with their political predispositions, as the choice to like, share and comment political content on Facebook is largely unaffected by likes and comments from other users. Though we recognize the dangers of obstinacy in democratic discourse, we are somewhat assured by these findings, as it shows that those who engage with political content do not follow a blind herd mentality.

description: The cross section for the thermal neutron capture by the deuteron is calculated with pionless Effective Field Theory(EFT). No new Three-Nucleon forces are needed up to next-to-next-to-leading order in order to achieve cut-off independent results, besides those fixed by the triton binding energy and Nd scattering length in the triton channel. The cross-section is accurately determined to be $σ_{tot}=[0.503\pm 0.003]mb$. At zero energies, the magnetic $M1$-transition gives the dominant contribution and is calculated up to next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^2$LO). Close agreement between the available experimental data and the calculated cross section is reached. We demonstrate convergence and cutoff independence order by order in the low-energy expansion.

description: Recent studies on political trust during the Covid-19 pandemic diagnosed a rally-around-the-flag effect leading to exceptionally high levels of trust in politics. While this finding has been established over various country contexts, our understanding of the precise dynamics behind the rally effect remains limited. In this paper, we argue that socio-demographic characteristics, in particular age differences, as well as pre-existing trust levels moderate the extent of the rally effect. Using individual-level panel data from the Netherlands, covering the time before and during the first Covid-19 wave, we show that the rally effect is particularly pronounced among older individuals, while it is absent among the young. Furthermore, we find a catch-up effect among the more distrusting parts of the population, such as populist supporters and low-income earners, who seem to largely drive the rally effect during the initial stage of the pandemic. This shows that the extent of the rally effect is conditional on socio-demographic characteristics, pointing towards the role of group risks and pre-crisis trust differentials in shaping people’s response to an existential threat.
