description: Prior work finds a diversity paradox: diversity breeds innovation, and yet, underrepresented groups that diversify organizations have less successful careers within them. Does the diversity paradox hold for scientists as well? We study this by utilizing a near-population of ~1.2 million US doctoral recipients from 1977-2015 and following their careers into publishing and faculty positions. We use text analysis and machine learning to answer a series of questions: How do we detect scientific innovations? Are underrepresented groups more likely to generate scientific innovations? And are the innovations of underrepresented groups adopted and rewarded? Our analyses show that underrepresented groups produce higher rates of scientific novelty. However, their novel contributions are devalued and discounted: e.g., novel contributions by gender and racial minorities are taken up by other scholars at lower rates than novel contributions by gender and racial majorities, and equally impactful contributions of gender and racial minorities are less likely to result in successful scientific careers than for majority groups. These results suggest there may be unwarranted reproduction of stratification in academic careers that discounts diversity's role in innovation and partly explains the underrepresentation of some groups in academia.

description: In this letter, we analyse the properties of a maximum likelihood channel estimator based on the syndrome of a linear code. For the two examples of a binary symmetric channel and a binary input additive white Gaussian noise channel, we derive expressions for the bias and the mean squared error and compare them to the Cramér-Rao bound. The analytical expressions show the relationship between the estimator properties and the parameters of the linear code, i.e., the number of check nodes and the check node degree.

description: Introduction: Dementia syndromes can be difficult to diagnose. We aimed at building a classifier for multiple dementia syndromes using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: Atlas-based volumetry was performed on T1-weighted MRI data of 426 patients and 51 controls from the multi-centric German Research Consortium of Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration including patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, the three subtypes of primary progressive aphasia, i.e., semantic, logopenic and nonfluent-agrammatic variant, and the atypical parkinsonian syndromes progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal syndrome. Support vector machine classification was used to classify each patient group against controls (binary classification) and all seven diagnostic groups against each other in a multi-syndrome classifier (multiclass classification). Results: The binary classification models reached high prediction accuracies between 71 and 95% with a chance level of 50%. Feature importance reflected disease-specific atrophy patterns. The multi-syndrome model reached accuracies of more than three times higher than chance level but was far from 100%. Multi-syndrome model performance was not homogenous across dementia syndromes, with better performance in syndromes characterized by regionally specific atrophy patterns. Whereas diseases generally could be classified vs controls more correctly with increasing severity and duration, differentiation between diseases was optimal in disease-specific windows of severity and duration. Discussion: Results suggest that automated methods applied to MR imaging data can support physicians in diagnosis of dementia syndromes. It is particularly relevant for orphan diseases beside frequent syndromes such as Alzheimer’s disease.

description: The generation of infrared (IR) radiation and the observed IR intensity distribution at wavelengths of 8, 24, and 100 micron in the ionized hydrogen region around a young, massive star is investigated. The evolution of the HII region is treated using a self-consistent chemical-dynamical model in which three dust populations are included -- large silicate grains, small graphite grains, and polycyclic, aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). A radiative transfer model taking into account stochastic heating of small grains and macromolecules is used to model the IR spectral energy distribution. The computational results are compared with Spitzer and Herschel observations of the RCW 120 nebula. The contributions of collisions with gas particles and the radiation field of the star to stochastic heating of small grains are investigated. It is shown that a model with a homogeneous PAH content cannot reproduce the ring-like IR-intensity distribution at 8 micron. A model in which PAHs are destroyed in the ionized region provides a means to explain this intensity distribution. This model is in agreement with observations for realistic characteristic destruction times for the PAHs.

description: Cholic acid (1, CD), deoxycholic (3, DCA), chenodeoxycholic acid (5, CDCA), ursodeoxycholic acid (7, UDCA), and lithocholic acid (9, LCA) were acetylated and converted into their piperazinyl spacered rhodamine B conjugates 16–20. While the parent bile acids showed almost no cytotoxic effects for several human tumor cell lines, the piperazinyl amides were cytostatic but an even superior effect was observed for the rhodamine B conjugates. Extra staining experiments showed these compounds as mitocans; they led to a cell arrest in the G1 phase.

description: 36 substituted benzylamides were prepared starting from maslinic acid, bredemolic acid, and augustic acid and evaluated for their cytotoxicity in SRB assays employing several human tumor cell lines as well as non-malignant fibroblasts. Thereby, the benzylamides of maslinic acid, however, were found to be more cytotoxic than those obtained from augustic acid or bredemolic acid. The best compound (18, derived from maslinic acid) showed an EC50 value of 1.3 μM against A375 melanoma cells. Additional staining experiments revealed that this compound acted rather by apoptosis than by necrosis.

description: Using transient absorption (TA) microscopy as a hot electron thermometer we show disorder-assisted acoustic-phonon supercollisions (SCs) best describes the rate-limiting relaxation step in graphene over a wide range of lattice temperatures ($T_l=$5-300 K), Fermi energies ($E_F=\pm0.35$ eV), and optical probe energies (~0.3 - 1.1 eV). Comparison with simultaneously collected transient photocurrent, an independent hot electron thermometer, confirms the rate-limiting optical and electrical response in graphene are best described by the SC-heat dissipation rate model, $H=A(T^3_e- T^3_l)$. Our data further shows the electron cooling rate in substrate supported graphene is twice as fast as in suspended graphene sheets, consistent with SC-model prediction for disorder.

description: We provide a dynamical interpretation of the recently identified `roaming' mechanism for molecular dissociation reactions in terms of geometrical structures in phase space. These are NHIMs (Normally Hyperbolic Invariant Manifolds) and their stable/unstable manifolds that define transition states for ion-molecule association or dissociation reactions. The associated dividing surfaces rigorously define a roaming region of phase space, in which both reactive and nonreactive trajectories can be trapped for arbitrarily long times.

description: In this study, unique hybrid structures were constructed between a Ce-based metal-organic framework (Ce-MOF) and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) materials. In addition, the g-C3N4 materials used for these heterostructures were prepared by five different methods, namely the conventional pyrolysis method, chemical exfoliation by a strong acid, activation by an alkaline hydrothermal treatment, melamine-cyanuric acid supramolecular assembly with a mechanochemical method, and by the solvothermally pre-treated method. The structural and morphological properties of the resulting g-C3N4 sheets and their composites were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis-derivative thermogravimetry (TGA-DTG), diffuse reflectance UV–vis spectroscopy (UV–vis DRS) and N2 sorption-desorption isotherms (BET). Finally, the photocatalytic performance of the composites was determined by following the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) in an aqueous solution under UV–visible light irradiation. It was found that the photocatalytic efficiency of the Ce-MOF/g-C3N4‒TS composite was significantly higher than that of their counterparts (Ce-MOF or g-C3N4‒TS) for the photocatalytic degradation of MB. When employing the composite, UV light-induced degradation of MB yielded an efficiency of 96.5% after 120 min for a dye solution containing 10 mg/L MB. This corresponds to a 5-fold or 2-fold improvement of the rate constant (k) when compared to the Ce-MOF or g-C3N4, respectively.

description: Cu(II) complexes with ATCUN peptide ligands have been investigated for their ROS (reactive oxygen species) generation and oxidative DNA degradation abilities. The biological activity of most ATCUN complexes such as Cu-GGH (Gly-Gly-His) is, however, low. Tuning the redox chemistry by incorporation of N-heteroaromatics reinstates ROS production which leads to efficient DNA cleavage.

description: Let (M, g) be a complete Riemannian manifold. Assume that the Ricci curvature of M has quadratic decay and that the volume growth is strictly faster than quadratic. We establish that the Hardy spaces of exact 1-differential forms on M , introduced in [4], coincide with the closure in L p of R(d) $\cap$ L p ($Λ$ 1 T * M) when 1 < p < $ν$, where $ν$ > 2 is related to the volume growth. The range of p is optimal. This result applies, in particular, when M has a finite number of Euclidean ends.

description: Nanotubes behave as semi-flexible polymers in that they can bend by a sizeable amount. When integrating a nanotube in a mechanical resonator, the bending is expected to break the symmetry of the restoring potential. Here we report on a new detection method that allows us to demonstrate such symmetry breaking. The method probes the motion of the nanotube resonator at nearly zero-frequency; this motion is the low-frequency counterpart of the second overtone of resonantly excited vibrations. We find that symmetry breaking leads to the spectral broadening of mechanical resonances, and to an apparent quality factor that drops below 100 at room temperature. The low quality factor at room temperature is a striking feature of nanotube resonators whose origin has remained elusive for many years. Our results shed light on the role played by symmetry breaking in the mechanics of nanotube resonators.

description: Understanding the genomic underpinnings of thermal adaptation is a hot topic in eco-evolutionary studies of parasites. Marine heteroxenous parasites have complex life cycles encompassing a free-living larval stage, an ectothermic intermediate host and a homeothermic definitive host, thus representing compelling systems for the study of thermal adaptation. The Antarctic anisakid Contracaecum osculatum sp. D is a marine parasite able to survive and thrive both at very cold and warm temperatures within the environment and its hosts. Here, a de novo transcriptome of C. osculatum sp. D was generated for the first time, by performing RNA-Seq experiments on a set of individuals exposed to temperatures experienced by the nematode during its life cycle.

description: It can be seen by Dynamic Electrical Analysis that the electrical properties of polyetherimide at temperatures above the glass transition are strongly influenced by space charge. We have studied space charge relaxation in two commercial grades of polyetherimide, Ultem 1000 and Ultem 5000, using this technique. The electric modulus formalism has been used to interpret their conductive properties. In both grades of polyetherimide, asymmetric Argand plots are observed, which are related to a sublinear power-law dependency ($ω^{n}$ with $n<1$) in the real part of the conductivity. This behaviour is attributed to correlated ion hopping. The imaginary part of the electric modulus exhibits a peak in the low frequency range associated to conduction. Modelling of this peak allows us to obtain the dependence, among other parameters, of the conductivity ($σ_0$), the fractional exponent ($n$) and the crossover frequency ($ω_\mathrm{p}$) on the temperature. The $α$ relaxation, that appears at higher frequencies, has also to be modelled since it overlaps the conductivity relaxation. The study of the parameters in terms of the temperature allows us to identify the ones that are thermally activated. The difference between the conductivity relaxation time and the Maxwell relaxation time indicates the presence of deep traps. The coupling model points out that the correlation of the ionic motion diminishes with temperature, probably due to increasing disorder due to thermal agitation.

description: Goalkeeper (GK) is an expert in soccer and goalkeeping is a complete professional job. In fact, achieving success seems impossible without a reliable GK. His effect in successes and failures is more dominant than other players. The most visible mistakes in a game are those of goalkeeper's. In this paper the expert fuzzy system is used as a suitable tool to study the quality of a goalkeeper and compare it with others. Previously done researches are used to find the goalkeepers' indexes in soccer. Soccer experts have found that a successful GK should have some qualifications. A new pattern is offered here which is called "Soccer goalkeeper quality recognition using fuzzy expert systems". This pattern has some important capabilities. Firstly, among some goalkeepers the one with the best quality for the main team arrange can be chosen. Secondly, the need to expert coaches for choosing a GK using their senses and experiences decreases a lot. Thirdly, in the survey of a GK, quantitative criteria can be included, and finally this pattern is simple and easy to understand.

description: We provide several advances to the understanding of the class of Quantum Merlin-Arthur proof systems (QMA), the quantum analogue of NP. Our central contribution is proving a longstanding conjecture that the Consistency of Local Density Matrices (CLDM) problem is QMA-hard under Karp reductions. The input of CLDM consists of local reduced density matrices on sets of at most k qubits, and the problem asks if there is an n-qubit global quantum state that is consistent with all of the k-qubit local density matrices. The containment of this problem in QMA and the QMA-hardness under Turing reductions were proved by Liu [APPROX-RANDOM 2006]. Liu also conjectured that CLDM is QMA-hard under Karp reductions, which is desirable for applications, and we finally prove this conjecture. We establish this result using the techniques of simulatable codes of Grilo, Slofstra, and Yuen [FOCS 2019], simplifying their proofs and tailoring them to the context of QMA. In order to develop applications of CLDM, we propose a framework that we call locally simulatable proofs for QMA: this provides QMA proofs that can be efficiently verified by probing only k qubits and, furthermore, the reduced density matrix of any k-qubit subsystem of an accepting witness can be computed in polynomial time, independently of the witness. Within this framework, we show advances in quantum zero-knowledge. We show the first commit-and-open computational zero-knowledge proof system for all of QMA, as a quantum analogue of a "sigma" protocol. We then define a Proof of Quantum Knowledge, which guarantees that a prover is effectively in possession of a quantum witness in an interactive proof, and show that our zero-knowledge proof system satisfies this definition. Finally, we show that our proof system can be used to establish that QMA has a quantum non-interactive zero-knowledge proof system in the secret parameter setting.

Information Flow in Biological Networks for Color Vision

description: Color Appearance Models are biological networks that consist of a cascade of linear+nonlinear layers that modify the linear measurements at the retinal photo-receptors leading to an internal (nonlinear) representation of color that correlates with psychophysical experience. The basic layers of these networks include: (1) chromatic adaptation (normalization of the mean and covariance of the color manifold), (2) change to opponent color channels (PCA-like rotation in the color space), and (3) saturating nonlinearities to get perceptually Euclidean color representations (similar to dimensionwise equalization). The Efficient Coding Hypothesis argues that these transforms should emerge from information-theoretic goals. In case this hypothesis holds in color vision, the question is, what is the coding gain due to the different layers of the color appearance networks? In this work, a representative family of Color Appearance Models is analyzed in terms of how the redundancy among the chromatic components is modified along the network and how much information is transferred from the input data to the noisy response. The proposed analysis is done using data and methods that were not available before: (1) new colorimetrically calibrated scenes in different CIE illuminations for proper evaluation of chromatic adaptation, and (2) new statistical tools to estimate (multivariate) information-theoretic quantities between multidimensional sets based on Gaussianization. Results confirm that the Efficient Coding Hypothesis holds for current color vision models, and identify the psychophysical mechanisms critically responsible for gains in information transference: opponent channels and their nonlinear nature are more important than chromatic adaptation at the retina.

description: We analyse processes of particle acceleration in the Fermi Bubbles. The goal of our investigations is to obtain restrictions for acceleration mechanisms. Our analysis of the three processes: acceleration from background plasma, re-acceleration of relativistic electrons emitted by supernova remnants, and acceleration by shocks generated by processes of star tidal disruption in the Galactic Center, showed that the model of multi-shock acceleration does not have serious objections at present and therefore seems us more attractive than others.

description: AMI Trainer of Trainers research literature paper on the relationship between pretend play and the development of imagination in children. The paper challenges traditional Piagetian perspectives by presenting evidence that imaginative capabilities emerge earlier in childhood than previously recognized. The author examines imagination through multiple lenses—psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience—arguing that pretend play is a universal feature of early childhood that plays a critical role in cognitive development. The paper outlines the functions of imagination, its neural underpinnings, and its significance in fostering essential cognitive processes such as the development of theory of mind.

description: We consider an isothermal compressible fluid evolving on a cosmological background which may be either expanding or contracting toward the future. The Euler equations governing such a flow consist of two nonlinear hyperbolic balance laws which we treat in one and in two space dimensions. We design a finite volume scheme which is fourth-order accurate in time and second-order accurate in space. This scheme allows us to compute weak solutions containing shock waves and, by design, is well-balanced in the sense that it preserves exactly a special class of solutions. Using this scheme, we investigate the asymptotic structure of the fluid when the time variable approaches infinity (in the expanding regime) or approaches zero (in the contracting regime). We study these two limits by introducing a suitable rescaling of the density and velocity variables and, in turn, we analyze the effects induced by the geometric terms (of expanding or contracting nature) and the nonlinear interactions between shocks. Extensive numerical experiments in one and in two space dimensions are performed in order to support our observations.

description: Children with health conditions are more vulnerable to sleep problems and consequently poorer well-being compared to healthy peers. My PhD addressed the identification of obstructive sleep apnoea in children who have Down syndrome and the treatment of sleep difficulties, with a focus on acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). The utility of clinical tools was investigated, including a model that can identify children with Down syndrome who should be prioritised for a sleep study. The value of bright light therapy was also explored for improving the sleep patterns and quality of life in children with health conditions, including ALL. My PhD reports findings relevant to future research and health care on the path to improving sleep in children with medical conditions.
Attainment of the multiple quantum Chernoff bound for certain ensembles of mixed states

description: We consider the problem of detecting the true quantum state among r possible ones, based on measurements performed on n of copies of a finite dimensional quantum system. It is known that the exponent for the rate of decrease of the averaged error probability cannot exceed the multiple quantum Chernoff bound (MQCB) defined as the worst case (smallest) quantum Chernoff distance between any possible pair of the r states. This error exponent is attainable for r pure states, but for the general case of mixed states only attainability up to a factor 1/3 is known. Here we show that the MQCB is attainable for mixed states if there is a pair which is closer in quantum Chernoff distance than 1/6 times the distance between all other pairs.

description: We study two well-known classes of dualities in three dimensional N=2 supersymmetric field theories. In the first class there are non trivial interactions involving monopole operators while in the second class the dual gauge theories have Chern-Simons terms in the action. An RG flows connecting the first dual pair to the second one has been studied in the past and tested on the partition function on the squashed three sphere. Recently an opposite RG flow connecting the second dual pair to the first one has been studied in the case of unitary gauge groups. In this paper we study this flow on the partition function on the squashed three sphere. We verify that the equality between the partition functions of the original dual models is preserved in the IR, where the other dual pair is reached. We generalize the analysis to the case of symplectic and of orthogonal groups.

description: In this paper, we consider two attractive stochastic spatial models in which each site can be in state 0, 1 or 2: Krone's model in which 0${}={}$vacant, 1${}={}$juvenile and 2${}={}$a mature individual capable of giving birth, and the Staver-Levin forest model in which 0${}={}$grass, 1${}={}$sapling and 2${}={}$tree. Our first result shows that if $(0,0)$ is an unstable fixed point of the mean-field ODE for densities of 1's and 2's then when the range of interaction is large, there is positive probability of survival starting from a finite set and a stationary distribution in which all three types are present. The result we obtain in this way is asymptotically sharp for Krone's model. However, in the Staver-Levin forest model, if $(0,0)$ is attracting then there may also be another stable fixed point for the ODE, and in some of these cases there is a nontrivial stationary distribution.

Turbulence comes in bursts in stably stratified flows

description: There is a clear distinction between simple laminar and complex turbulent fluids. But in some cases, as for the nocturnal planetary boundary layer, a stable and well-ordered flow can develop intense and sporadic bursts of turbulent activity which disappear slowly in time. This phenomenon is ill-understood and poorly modeled; and yet, it is central to our understanding of weather and climate dynamics. We present here a simple model which shows that in stably stratified turbulence, the stronger bursts can occur when the flow is expected to be more stable. The bursts are generated by a rapid non-linear amplification of energy stored in waves, and are associated with energetic interchanges between vertical velocity and temperature (or density) fluctuations. Direct numerical simulations on grids of 2048^3 points confirm this somewhat paradoxical result of measurably stronger events for more stable flows, displayed not only in the temperature and vertical velocity derivatives, but also in the amplitude of the fields themselves.

Fiedler Vector Approximation via Interacting Random Walks

description: The Fiedler vector of a graph, namely the eigenvector corresponding to the second smallest eigenvalue of a graph Laplacian matrix, plays an important role in spectral graph theory with applications in problems such as graph bi-partitioning and envelope reduction. Algorithms designed to estimate this quantity usually rely on a priori knowledge of the entire graph, and employ techniques such as graph sparsification and power iterations, which have obvious shortcomings in cases where the graph is unknown, or changing dynamically. In this paper, we develop a framework in which we construct a stochastic process based on a set of interacting random walks on a graph and show that a suitably scaled version of our stochastic process converges to the Fiedler vector for a sufficiently large number of walks. Like other techniques based on exploratory random walks and on-the-fly computations, such as Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), our algorithm overcomes challenges typically faced by power iteration based approaches. But, unlike any existing random walk based method such as MCMCs where the focus is on the leading eigenvector, our framework with interacting random walks converges to the Fiedler vector (second eigenvector). We also provide numerical results to confirm our theoretical findings on different graphs, and show that our algorithm performs well over a wide range of parameters and the number of random walks. Simulations results over time varying dynamic graphs are also provided to show the efficacy of our random walk based technique in such settings. As an important contribution, we extend our results and show that our framework is applicable for approximating not just the Fiedler vector of graph Laplacians, but also the second eigenvector of any time reversible Markov Chain kernel via interacting random walks.
