description: In 1946, Public Law 588 of the 79th Congress established the Office of Naval Research (ONR). Its mission was to plan, foster and encourage scientific research in support of Naval problems. The establishment of ONR predates the National Science Foundation and initiated the refocusing of scientific infrastructure in the United States following World War II. At the time, ONR was the only source for federal support of basic research in the United States. Dorothy Gilford was one of the first Heads of the Probability and Statistics program at the Office of Naval Research (1955 to 1962), and she went on to serve as Director of the Mathematical Sciences Division (1962 to 1968). During her time at ONR, Dorothy influenced many areas of statistics and mathematics and was ahead of her time in promoting interdisciplinary projects. Dorothy continued her career at the National Center for Education Statistics (1969 to 1974). She was active in starting international comparisons of education outcomes in different countries, which has influenced educational policy in the United States. Dorothy went on to serve in many capacities at the National Academy of Sciences, including Director of Human Resources Studies (1975 to 1978), Senior Statistician on the Committee on National Statistics (1978 to 1988) and Director of the Board on International Comparative Studies in Education (1988 to 1994). The following is a conversation we had with Dorothy Gilford in March of 2004. We found her to be an interesting person and a remarkable statistician. We hope you agree.

title: Functional interactions between auditory and visual systems in the human brain: evidence from neurotypical development and temporary sensory deprivation model
Creators: name: Martinelli, Alice
Publisher: name: IMT Alti Studi Lucca
Year: 2021

description: Our understanding of the sensory brain functioning has been remarkably influenced by the multisensory research perspective. Traditional models of senses functioning indicated that sensory inputs interact only after unisensory processing has occurred. Conversely, in the last two decades, evidence has accumulated showing that interactions across the senses occur since the earliest stages of sensory processing. In turn, sensory areas which have traditionally been considered sensory specific, and thus constrained to analyze only one type of sensory input, are now viewed as hubs, whose functioning and development can be influenced by the processing of the other senses. In this work, we investigated aspects of the interactions between auditory and visual modalities. In two separate studies, I employed complementary perspectives to characterize (i) on the one hand the activity of primary visual cortex (V1) during auditory processing, and (ii) on the other hand assess the influence of early visual input on the functional development of the auditory pathway. In the first study we took advantage of auditory modeling of natural and synthetically derived sounds and employed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure cortical activity in the occipital and temporal areas, early stages of visual and acoustic processing, respectively. In the second study we investigated subcortical responses through auditory evoked potential (auditory brainstem responses, ABR) in children with an atypical development of the visual system. Results of the first study suggested that specific sound characteristics are represented in V1 activity. In fact, a low-level acoustic feature – the sound amplitude modulation – was clearly mapped in the striate cortex. This finding supported and expanded current knowledge on the multimodal role of primary visual cortex. In the second study, an influence of early visual experience on the development of subcortical auditory pathway emerged. That is, early visual inputs were found to possibly be a prerequisite for the full development of subcortical auditory responses, ultimately suggesting the presence of a crossmodal sensitive period. These findings strengthen the current view that auditory and visual systems are bounded, with a high degree of specificity, since earliest hierarchical stages of sensory processing, and since earliest developmental phases.
Metal-insulator transition in CaVO$_3$ thin films: interplay between epitaxial strain, dimensional confinement, and surface effects

description: We use density functional theory plus dynamical mean-field theory (DFT+DMFT) to study multiple control parameters for tuning the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in CaVO$_3$ thin films. We focus on separating the effects resulting from substrate-induced epitaxial strain from those related to the reduced thickness of the film. We show that tensile epitaxial strain of around 3-4% is sufficient to induce a transition to a paramagnetic Mott-insulating phase. This corresponds to the level of strain that could be achieved on a SrTiO$_3$ substrate. Using free-standing slab models, we then demonstrate that reduced film thickness can also cause a MIT in CaVO$_3$, however, only for thicknesses of less than 4 perovskite units. Our calculations indicate that the MIT in such ultra-thin films results mainly from a surface-induced crystal-field splitting between the $t_{2g}$-orbitals, favoring the formation of an orbitally-polarized Mott insulator. This surface-induced crystal-field splitting is of the same type as the one resulting from tensile epitaxial strain, and thus the two effects can also cooperate. Furthermore, our calculations confirm an enhancement of correlation effects at the film surface, resulting in a reduced quasiparticle spectral weight in the outermost layer, whereas bulk-like properties are recovered within only a few layers away from the surface.

The Generalized Random Energy Model and its Application to the Statistical Physics of Ensembles of Hierarchical Codes
Creators: name: Merhav, Neri

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In an earlier work, the statistical physics associated with finite--temperature decoding of code ensembles, along with the relation to their random coding error exponents, were explored in a framework that is analogous to Derrida's random energy model (REM) of spin glasses, according to which the energy levels of the various spin configurations are independent random variables. The generalized REM (GREM) extends the REM in that it introduces correlations between energy levels in an hierarchical structure. In this paper, we explore some analogies between the behavior of the GREM and that of code ensembles which have parallel hierarchical structures. In particular, in analogy to the fact that the GREM may have different types of phase transition effects, depending on the parameters of the model, then the above--mentioned hierarchical code ensembles behave substantially differently in the various domains of the design parameters of these codes. We make an attempt to explore the insights that can be imported from the statistical mechanics of the GREM and be harnessed to serve for code design considerations and guidelines.

description: The plant material used in this subject was from a cultivar of pummelo ("Guiyou No.1" pummelo, Citrus maxima) that was collected from Rong County, Yulin city, Guangxi province, China. Fresh leaf tissues were used for genomic sequencing. The sequencing of single-molecules was performed on the PacBio Sequel II platform (Pacific Biosciences, USA) by Beijing Biomarker Technologies Co. Ltd. (Beijing, China). A SMRTbell library with a size of 30 kb was constructed for genomic sequencing following the standard protocol provided by Pacific Biosciences. A total of 220.94 Gb CLR reads were assembled using Canu (v2.1.1) with the following parameters: -- pacbio (minReadLength = 2000, minOverlapLength = 500, corOutCoverage = 150, corMinCoverage =2 "batOptions = -dg 3 -db 3 -dr 1 -ca 500 -cp 50", corrected error rate= 0.035). Canu generated two assemblies composed of contigs and unitigs. The unitig assembly consisted of the contigs that split at any alternative path in the assembly graph. The contig assembly had longer continuity but more chimeric fragments as revealed by the genetic mapping analysis. The unitigs were polished iteratively using two rounds of Pilon with ~12 Gb of WGS BGISEQ data to generate the genome draft GYgv1.

description: In a preceding paper we introduced a formalism to study the scattering of low intensity fields from a system of multi-level emitters embedded in a $3$D dielectric medium. Here we show how this photon-scattering relation can be used to analyze the scattering of single photons and weak coherent states from any generic multi-level quantum emitter coupled to a $1$D waveguide. The reduction of the photon-scattering relation to $1$D waveguides provides for the first time a direct solution of the scattering problem involving low intensity fields in the waveguide QED regime. To show how our formalism works, we consider examples of multi-level emitters and evaluate the transmitted and reflected field amplitude. Furthermore, we extend our study to include the dynamical response of the emitters for scattering of a weak coherent photon pulse. As our photon-scattering relation is based on the Heisenberg picture, it is quite useful for problems involving photo-detection in the waveguide architecture. We show this by considering a specific problem of state generation by photo-detection in a multi-level emitter, where our formalism exhibits its full potential. Since the considered emitters are generic, the $1$D results apply to a plethora of physical systems like atoms, ions, quantum dots, superconducting qubits, and nitrogen-vacancy centers coupled to a $1$D waveguide or transmission line.

description: This position paper describes the challenge of ensuring run-time safety in cyber-physical systems. The overarching problem is ensuring that computer-based systems will maintain safe operations even in the face of design-time and run-time faults. One way to address this problem is by creating an ability to perform run-time safety checks on CPS applications that can be used to record hazards, trigger emergency shutdowns (where doing so is safe), or perform other actions to minimize the consequences of an unsafe system behavior. Existing foundations for creating such a capability exist in the areas of software safety, temporal logic, model based diagnosis, and fault tolerance.

description: We present the first direct lattice-QCD calculation of the Bjorken-$x$ dependence of the valence quark distribution of the pion. Using large-momentum effective theory (LaMET), we calculate the boosted pion state with long Wilson link operators. After implementing the one-loop matching and meson mass corrections, our result at $m_π\approx 310$ MeV is in agreement with those extracted from experimental data as well as from Dyson-Schwinger equation in small $x$ region, but a sizeable discrepancy in the large $x$ region. This discrepancy provides a nice opportunity to systematically study and disentangle the artifacts in the LaMET approach, which will eventually help to discern various existing analyses in the literature.

description: Spatiotemporal fractionation schemes, that is, treatments delivering different dose distributions in different fractions, may lower treatment side effects without compromising tumor control. This is achieved by hypofractionating parts of the tumor while delivering approximately uniformly fractionated doses to the healthy tissue. Optimization of such treatments is based on biologically effective dose (BED), which leads to computationally challenging nonconvex optimization problems. Current optimization methods yield only locally optimal plans, and it has been unclear whether these are close to the global optimum. We present an optimization model to compute rigorous bounds on the normal tissue BED reduction achievable by such plans. The approach is demonstrated on liver tumors, where the primary goal is to reduce mean liver BED without compromising other treatment objectives. First a uniformly fractionated reference plan is computed using convex optimization. Then a nonconvex quadratically constrained quadratic programming model is solved to local optimality to compute a spatiotemporally fractionated plan that minimizes mean liver BED subject to the constraints that the plan is no worse than the reference plan with respect to all other planning goals. Finally, we derive a convex relaxation of the second model in the form of a semidefinite programming problem, which provides a lower bound on the lowest achievable mean liver BED. The method is presented on 5 cases with distinct geometries. The computed spatiotemporal plans achieve 12-35% mean liver BED reduction over the reference plans, which corresponds to 79-97% of the gap between the reference mean liver BEDs and our lower bounds. This indicates that spatiotemporal treatments can achieve substantial reduction in normal tissue BED, and that local optimization provides plans that are close to realizing the maximum potential benefit.

description: For every $d \geq 2$, we present a generalization of the CHSH inequality with the property that maximal violation self-tests the maximally entangled state of local dimension $d$. This is the first example of a family of inequalities with this property. Moreover, we provide a conjecture for a family of inequalities generalizing the tilted CHSH inequalities, and we conjecture that for each pure bipartite entangled state there is an inequality in the family whose maximal violation self-tests it. All of these inequalities are inspired by the self-testing correlations of [Nat. Comm. 8, 15485 (2017)].

Identifying Dynamic Genes and Regulatory Elements Using Computational Analyses of Multi-omics Data

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: Gene expression is meticulously coordinated in distinct cell types, requiring precise temporal and spatial regulation. Multi-omics analyses allow for the unraveling of the complex landscape of gene regulation within biological systems. It provides a comprehensive vantage point from which we can comprehend how genes are controlled and function within specific biological contexts. In this thesis, three distinct projects have been developed, all centered around investigating dynamic gene expression through computational analyses of multi-omics data. In the first project, the computational platform TrendCatcher was developed to identify dynamic differentially expressed genes (DDEGs) in time-course bulk RNA-seq and single-cell RNA-seq data. Through this tool, we successfully unveiled unique dynamic transcriptional gene signatures and associated biological processes within longitudinal datasets. Notably, it shed light on the early and persistent activation of neutrophils and coagulation pathways as a hallmark of patients progressing to severe COVID-19. The second project focused on the exploration of dynamic gene expression programs and regulatory elements, specifically transcription factors, during hepatocyte differentiation from pluripotent stem cells. Leveraging time-course ATAC-seq data and RNA-seq data integration, we identified candidate transcription factors that drive gene expression programs at each differentiation stage. Furthermore, using TrendCatcher, we inferred the dynamic trajectories of transcription factor activation. In the third project, we developed ProxSeek, a novel computational platform designed to harness a promoter-centered interactome constructed from Hi-C data to generate a hierarchy of cis-eQTLs. This innovative approach showcased that the promoter-centered interactome serves as a hotspot for cis-eQTLs, and ProxSeek effectively prioritizes these cis-eQTLs (prox-eQTLs), which are enriched in regulatory regions and exhibit higher effect sizes. ProxSeek has the potential to complement existing cis-eQTL studies, aiding in the prioritization of regulatory genetic variants and deepening our understanding of the intricate interplay between genetics and gene expression. Collectively, these projects underscore the value of multi-omics approaches in exploring gene expression regulation, particularly within the framework of temporal processes.

description: We present preliminary results for the chiral behavior of charged pseudo-Goldstone-boson masses and decay constants. These are obtained in simulations with N_f=2+1 flavors of tree-level, O(a)-improved Wilson sea quarks. In these simulations, mesons are composed of either valence quarks discretized in the same way as the sea quarks (unitary simulations) or of overlap valence quarks (mixed-action simulations). We find that the chiral behavior of the pseudoscalar meson masses in the mixed-action calculations cannot be explained with continuum, partially-quenched chiral perturbation theory. We show that the inclusion of O(a^2) unitarity violations in the chiral expansion resolves this discrepancy and that the size of the unitarity violations required are consistent with those which we observe in the zero-momentum, scalar-isotriplet-meson propagator.

description: We present an anisotropic analysis of Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) signal from the SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) Data Release 14 (DR14) quasar sample. The sample consists of 147,000 quasars distributed over a redshift range of $0.8 < z < 2.2$. We apply the redshift weights technique to the clustering of quasars in this sample and achieve a 4.6 per cent measurement of the angular distance measurement $D_M$ at $z = 2.2$ and Hubble parameter $H$ at $z=0.8$. We parameterize the distance-redshift relation, relative to a fiducial model, as a quadratic expansion. The coefficients of this expansion are used to reconstruct the distance-redshift relation and obtain distance and Hubble parameter measurements at all redshifts within the redshift range of the sample. Reporting the result at two characteristic redshifts, we determine $D_M(z=1) = 3405\pm305 \ (r_{\rm d} / r_{\rm d, fid}) \ {\rm Mpc}$, $H(z=1) = 120.7\pm 7.3 \ (r_{\rm d,fid} / r_{\rm d}) \ {\rm km} \ {\rm s}^{-1}{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$ and $D_M(z=2) = 5325\pm249 \ (r_{\rm d} / r_{\rm d, fid}) \ {\rm Mpc}$, $H(z=2) = 189.9\pm 32.9 \ (r_{\rm d,fid} / r_{\rm d}) \ {\rm km} \ {\rm s}^{-1}{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$. These measurements are highly correlated. We assess the outlook of BAO analysis from the final quasar sample by testing the method on a set of mocks that mimic the noise level in the final sample. We demonstrate on these mocks that redshift weighting shrinks the measurement error by over 25 per cent on average. We conclude redshift weighting can bring us closer to the cosmological goal of the final quasar sample.

description: The solutions for the Tolmann-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation bring valuable informations about the macroscopical features of compact astrophysical objects as neutron stars. They are sensitive to both the equation of state considered for nuclear matter and the background gravitational theory. In this work we construct the TOV equation for a conservative version of the $f(R,T)$ gravity. While the non-vanishing of the covariant derivative of the $f(R,T)$ energy-momentum tensor yields, in a cosmological perspective, the prediction of creation of matter throughout the universe evolution as shown by T. Harko, in the analysis of the hydrostatic equilibrium of compact astrophysical objects, this property still lacks a convincing physical explanation. The imposition of $\nabla^μT_{μν}=0$ demands a particular form for the function $h(T)$ in $f(R,T)=R+h(T)$, which is here derived. Therefore, the choice of a specific equation of state for the star matter demands a unique form of $h(T)$, manifesting a strong connection between conserved $f(R,T)$ gravity and the star matter constitution. We construct and solve the TOV equation for the general equation of state for $p=kρ^Γ$, with $k$ being the EoS parameter, $ρ$ {\it the energy density} and $Γ$ is the adiabatic index. We also derive the macroscopical properties of neutron stars ($Γ=5/3$) within this approach.

description: This is an expository review paper illustrating the ``martingale method'' for proving many-server heavy-traffic stochastic-process limits for queueing models, supporting diffusion-process approximations. Careful treatment is given to an elementary model -- the classical infinite-server model $M/M/\infty$, but models with finitely many servers and customer abandonment are also treated. The Markovian stochastic process representing the number of customers in the system is constructed in terms of rate-1 Poisson processes in two ways: (i) through random time changes and (ii) through random thinnings. Associated martingale representations are obtained for these constructions by applying, respectively: (i) optional stopping theorems where the random time changes are the stopping times and (ii) the integration theorem associated with random thinning of a counting process. Convergence to the diffusion process limit for the appropriate sequence of scaled queueing processes is obtained by applying the continuous mapping theorem. A key FCLT and a key FWLLN in this framework are established both with and without applying martingales.

description: Social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace thrive on the exchange of personal content such as pictures and activities. These sites are discovering that people's privacy preferences are very rich and diverse. In theory, providing users with more expressive settings to spec- ify their privacy policies would not only enable them to better articulate their preferences, but could also lead to greater user burden. In this ar- ticle, we evaluate to what extent providing users with default policies can help alleviate some of this burden. Our research is conducted in the context of location-sharing applications, where users are expected to specify conditions under which they are willing to let others see their lo- cations. We de ne canonical policies that attempt to abstract away user- speci c elements such as a user's default schedule, or canonical places, such as "work" and "home." We learn a set of default policies from this data using decision-tree and clustering algorithms. We examine trade- offs between the complexity / understandability of default policies made available to users, and the accuracy with which they capture the ground truth preferences of our user population. Speci cally, we present results obtained using data collected from 30 users of location-enabled phones over a period of one week. They suggest that providing users with a small number of canonical default policies to choose from can help reduce user burden when it comes to customizing the rich privacy settings they seem to require.
More Efficient Estimation for Logistic Regression with Optimal Subsample

description: In this paper, we propose improved estimation method for logistic regression based on subsamples taken according the optimal subsampling probabilities developed in Wang et al. 2018 Both asymptotic results and numerical results show that the new estimator has a higher estimation efficiency. We also develop a new algorithm based on Poisson subsampling, which does not require to approximate the optimal subsampling probabilities all at once. This is computationally advantageous when available random-access memory is not enough to hold the full data. Interestingly, asymptotic distributions also show that Poisson subsampling produces a more efficient estimator if the sampling rate, the ratio of the subsample size to the full data sample size, does not converge to zero. We also obtain the unconditional asymptotic distribution for the estimator based on Poisson subsampling. The proposed approach requires to use a pilot estimator to correct biases of un-weighted estimators. We further show that even if the pilot estimator is inconsistent, the resulting estimators are still consistent and asymptotically normal if the model is correctly specified.

description: Entropy production for a system not in the thermodynamic limit is formulated using Hill's nanothermodynamics, in which a macroscopic ensemble of such systems is considered. External influence of the environment on the average nanosystem is connected to irreversible work with an explicit formula based on Jarzynsky equality. Entropy production retains its usual form as a sum of products of fluxes and forces and Onsager's symmetry principle is proven to hold for the average nanosystem if it is valid for the macroscopic ensemble, by two methods. The first one provides expressions that relate the coefficients of the two systems. The second gives a general condition for a system under a external force to preserve Onsager's symmetry.

description: The capability maturity model (CMM), developed to present sets of recommended practices in a number of key process areas that have been shown to enhance software-development and maintenance capability, is discussed. The CMM was designed to help developers select process-improvement strategies by determining their current process maturity and identifying the issues most critical to improving their software quality and process. The initial release of the CMM, version 1.0, was reviewed and used by the software community during 1991 and 1992. A workshop on CMM 1.0, held in April 1992, was attended by about 200 software professionals. The current version of the CMM is the result of the feedback from that workshop and ongoing feedback from the software community. The technical report that describes version 1.1. is summarised

description: This deliverable presents the multimodal transport simulation networks that will be utilised for the purposes of FRONTIER. More specifically, the generated models will be used for the development of the simulation-based components and implementation of the overall FRONTIER ANTME. The document describes the scope and specifications for each model, and outlines the methodology and workflow used to build them including input data, model design and model implementation. FRONTIER is demonstrated in three pilot areas and thus a model has been identified or developed for each of those areas.

description: SNhunt151 was initially classified as a supernova (SN) impostor (nonterminal outburst of a massive star). It exhibited a slow increase in luminosity, lasting about 450 d, followed by a major brightening that reaches M_V ~ -18 mag. No source is detected to M_V > -13 mag in archival images at the position of SNhunt151 before the slow rise. Low-to-mid-resolution optical spectra obtained during the pronounced brightening show very little evolution, being dominated at all times by multicomponent Balmer emission lines, a signature of interaction between the material ejected in the new outburst and the pre-existing circumstellar medium. We also analyzed mid-infrared images from the Spitzer Space Telescope, detecting a source at the transient position in 2014 and 2015. Overall, SNhunt151 is spectroscopically a Type IIn SN, somewhat similar to SN2009ip. However, there are also some differences, such as a slow pre-discovery rise, a relatively broad light-curve peak showing a longer rise time (~ 50 d) and a slower decline, along with a negligible change in the temperature around the peak (T < 10^4 K). We suggest that SNhunt151 is the result of an outburst, or a SN explosion, within a dense circumstellar nebula, similar to those embedding some luminous blue variables like Eta Carinae and originating from past mass-loss events.

description: We discuss the entropy-area relation for the small black holes with higher curvature corrections by using the entropy function formalism and field redefinition method. We show that the entropy $S_{BH}$ of small black hole is proportional to its horizon area $A$. In particular we find a universal result that $S_{BH}=A/2G$, the ratio is two times of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy-area formula in many cases of physical interest. In four dimensions, the universal relation is always true irrespective of the coefficients of the higher-order terms if the dilaton couplings are the same, which is the case for string effective theory, while in five dimensions, the relation again holds irrespective of the overall coefficient if the higher-order corrections are in the GB combination. We also discuss how this result generalizes to known physically interesting cases with Lovelock correction terms in various dimensions, and possible implications of the universal relation.
