description: Imputation is a powerful statistical method that is distinct from the predictive modelling techniques more commonly used in drug discovery. Imputation uses sparse experimental data in an incomplete dataset to predict missing values by leveraging correlations between experimental assays. This contrasts with quantitative structure–activity relationship methods that use only descriptor – assay correlations. We summarize three recent imputation strategies – heterogeneous deep imputation, assay profile methods and matrix factorization – and compare these with quantitative structure–activity relationship methods, including deep learning, in drug discovery settings. We comment on the value added by imputation methods when used in an ongoing project and find that imputation produces stronger models, earlier in the project, over activity and absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination end points.

description: Precision agriculture has emerged as a revolutionary technology in helping make farm decisions. It transforms farm related data into information, and then coverts information into useful knowledge for decision-making. This study evaluates economic thresholds for a new web-based decision support system developed for precision fungicide management for potato production. Using 10 years of computer simulation experiments from 152 locations in the United States, we compared different thresholds in terms of disease severity, fungicide usage efficiency, and net income over fungicide cost to manage potato late blight disease. The empirical results show that the economic thresholds improved disease suppression and farming profit relative to the previous critical thresholds while maintaining fungicide use efficiency.

description: Coincidence scattering of polarized electrons from nuclei with polarization transfer to outgoing nucleons is studied within the context of relativistic mean field theory. Effects introduced by the dynamical enhancement of the lower components of the bound nucleon wave function are analyzed for the polarized response functions and transferred polarization asymmetries assuming the relativistic plane-wave impulse approximation (RPWIA). Results obtained by projecting out the negative-energy components are compared with the fully-relativistic calculation for proton knockout from $p_{1/2}$ and $p_{3/2}$ shells in $^{16}O$ for a variety of kinematic situations. The crucial role played by the relativistic dynamics in some spin-dependent observables is clearly manifested even for low/medium values of the missing momentum. The degree to which knowledge about nucleon form factors can be extracted from analyses of this type of process is also discussed.

description: Synchronization plays a key role in information processing in neuronal networks. Response of specific groups of neurons are triggered by external stimuli, such as visual, tactile or olfactory inputs. Neurons, however, can be divided into several categories, such as by physical location, functional role or topological clustering properties. Here we study the response of the electric junction C. elegans network to external stimuli using the partially forced Kuramoto model and applying the force to specific groups of neurons. Stimuli were applied to topological modules, obtained by the ModuLand procedure, to a ganglion, specified by its anatomical localization, and to the functional group composed of all sensory neurons. We found that topological modules do not contain purely anatomical groups or functional classes, corroborating previous results, and that stimulating different classes of neurons lead to very different responses, measured in terms of synchronization and phase velocity correlations. In all cases, however, the modular structure hindered full synchronization, protecting the system from seizures. More importantly, the responses to stimuli applied to topological and functional modules showed pronounced patterns of correlation or anti-correlation with other modules that were not observed when the stimulus was applied to ganglia.

description: Abstract: Purpose of Review: Spontaneous pneumothoraces can be the presenting phenotype in a variety of different syndromic genetic conditions. Respiratory physicians therefore have the opportunity to diagnose and manage these patients early to prevent serious complications associated with these syndromes. Recent Findings: The genetic syndromes that present with pneumothoraces can be split broadly between those resulting from defective extracellular matrix formation and those caused by defective tumour-suppressor pathways. When connective tissues are weakened, lifelong surveillance for arterial dilatation can be life-saving as surgical intervention is effective. Long-term aggressive treatment of blood pressure can also commence, although some controversy surrounds which drugs are most effective and precisely how these drugs modify disease progression. Rational treatments of syndromes in which tumour suppressor function is lost are being developed and, in some instances, can already be offered. Summary: Careful clinical assessment of spontaneous pneumothorax may identify an underlying causal condition and facilitate life-saving intervention. Respiratory physicians must therefore be aware of these diseases and their diagnostic criteria.

We generalize this post-prior equivalence to the relativistic reaction of composite particles by using Dirac's constraint dynamics to describe the bound states and the reaction process.

description: Abstract: Numerous microbial species can selectively precipitate mineral carbonates with enhanced mechanical properties, however, understanding exactly how they achieve this control represents a major challenge in the field of biomineralisation. We have studied microbial induced calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation (MICP) in three ureolytic bacterial strains from the Sporosarcina family, including S. newyorkensis, a newly isolated microbe from the deep sea. We find that the interplay between structural water and strain-specific amino acid groups is fundamental to the stabilisation of vaterite and that, under the same conditions, different isolates yield distinctly different polymorphs. The latter is found to be associated with different urease activities and, consequently, precipitation kinetics, which change depending on pressure-temperature conditions. Further, CaCO3 polymorph selection also depends on the coupled effect of chemical treatment and initial bacterial concentrations. Our findings provide new insights into strain-specific CaCO3 polymorphic selection and stabilisation, and open up promising avenues for designing bio-reinforced geo-materials that capitalise on the different particle bond mechanical properties offered by different polymorphs.

description: This article considers the problem of designing Phase I-II clinical trials with delayed toxicity and efficacy outcomes. The proposed design is motivated by a Phase I-II study evaluating all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in combination with a fixed dose of daratumumab in the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The primary objective of the study is to identify a dose that maximizes efficacy and has an acceptable level of toxicity. The toxicity endpoint is observed in one cycle of therapy (i.e., 4 weeks) while the efficacy endpoint is assessed after 8 weeks of treatment. The difference in endpoint observation windows causes logistical challenges in conducting the trial, since it is not practical to wait until both outcomes for each patient have been fully observed before sequentially assigning the dose of a newly eligible patient. In order to avoid delays in treatment for newly enrolled patients and to accelerate trial progress, we generalize the time-to-event continual reassessment method (TITE-CRM) to bivariate outcomes. Simulation studies are conducted to evaluate the proposed method, and we found that the proposed design is able to accurately select doses that maximize efficacy and have acceptable toxicity, while using all available information in allocating patients at the time of dose assignment. We compare the proposed methodology to two existing methods in the area.

description: Understanding and predicting the electric consumption patterns in the short-, mid- and long-term, at the distribution and transmission level, is a fundamental asset for smart grids infrastructure planning, dynamic network reconfiguration, dynamic energy pricing and savings, and thus energy efficiency. This work introduces the Functional Principal Component Analysis (FPCA) as a versatile method to both investigate and predict, at different level of spatial aggregation, the consumption patterns. The method was applied to a unique and sensitive dataset that includes electric consumption and contractual information of Milan metropolitan area. The decomposition of the load patterns into principal functions was found to be a powerful method to identify the physical and behavioral causes underlying the daily consumptions, given knowledge of exogenous variables such as calendar and meteorological data. The effectiveness of long-term predictions based on principal functions was proved on Milan's metropolitan area data and assessed on a publicly-available dataset.

description: The Feynman amplitude for the decay of the $J/ψ$ meson into baryon-antibaryon can be written as a sum of three sub-amplitudes: a purely strong, a purely electromagnetic and a mixed strong-electromagnetic. Assuming that the strong and mixed strong-electromagnetic sub-amplitudes have the same phase, the branching ratio of the decay contains an interference term that depends on the relative phase $φ$ between strong and electromagnetic sub-amplitudes. In this work we calculate this phase, by using an effective strong Lagrangian density and considering, as final states, pairs of baryons, $\mathcal{B}\overline{\mathcal{B}}$, belonging to the spin-1/2 SU(3) octet. Moreover, we obtain the purely strong, purely electromagnetic and mixed strong-electromagnetic contributions to the total branching ratio and hence the moduli of the corresponding sub-amplitudes, for each pair of baryons. Of particular interest is the mixed strong-electromagnetic contribution that, not only is determined for the first time, but it is proven to be crucial, in the framework of our model, for the correct description of the decay mechanism. Finally we use the purely electromagnetic branching ratio to calculate the Born non-resonant cross section of the annihilation processes $e^+ e^- \to \mathcal{B}\overline{\mathcal{B}}$ at the $J/ψ$ mass. By taking advantage from all available data, we obtain the relative phase between strong and electromagnetic sub-amplitudes: $φ= (73\pm 8)^\circ$.

In general, the Standard Model expectations describe the data well for all the channels and at each sqrt(s). A single e mu event is observed where according to our Monte Carlo simulations only 0.019 events are expected from Standard Model processes. We obtain the first limits on the cross-sections sigma(e+e- -> e mu, e tau and mu tau) as a function of sqrt(s) at LEP2 energies.

Contact is made with other pioneering soft gluon resummation theories in the literature. Second, semi-analytical results and preliminary explicit Monte Carlo data are presented for the specific example of the processes p-bar p -> t-bar t +n(G)+X at FNAL energies, where G is a soft gluon and the respective event generator, ttp1.0, features realistic, event-by-event simulation of multiple, soft, finite p_T gluon effects in which the infrared singularities are canceled to all orders in alpha_s. We comment briefly on the implications of our results on the CDF/D0 observations and on their possible applications to RHIC physics and to LHC physics.

description: Abstract: In Australian and New Zealand waters, current knowledge on white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) movement ecology is based on individual tracking studies using relatively small numbers of tags. These studies describe a species that occupies highly variable and complex habitats. However, uncertainty remains as to whether the proposed movement patterns are representative of the wider population. Here, we tagged 103 immature Australasian white sharks (147–350 cm fork length) with both acoustic and satellite transmitters to expand our current knowledge of population linkages, spatiotemporal dynamics and coastal habitats. Eighty-three sharks provided useable data. Based on individual tracking periods of up to 5 years and a total of 2,865 days of tracking data, we were able to characterise complex movement patterns over ~45° of latitude and ~72° of longitude and distinguish regular/recurrent patterns from occasional/exceptional migration events. Shark movements ranged from Papua New Guinea to sub-Antarctic waters and to Western Australia, highlighting connectivity across their entire Australasian range. Results over the 12-year study period yielded a comprehensive characterisation of the movement ecology of immature Australasian white sharks across multiple spatial scales and substantially expanded the body of knowledge available for population assessment and management.

description: In this paper we consider two generalizations of the Skyrme model. One is a variational problem for maps from a compact three-manifold to a compact Lie group. The other is a variational problem for flat connections. We describe the path components of the configuration spaces of smooth fields for each of the variational problems. We prove that the invariants separating the path components are well-defined for (not necessarily smooth) fields with finite Skyrme energy. We prove that for every possible value of these invariants there exists a minimizer of the Skyrme functional. Throughout the paper we emphasize the importance of holonomy in the Skyrme model. Some of the results may be useful in other contexts. In particular, we define the holonomy of a distributionally flat $ L^2_{loc} $ connection; the local developing maps for such connections need not be continuous.

Ordinary muon capture as a probe of virtual transitions of $ββ$ decay
Creators: name: Kortelainen, M.
name: Suhonen, J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A reliable theoretical description of double-beta-decay processes needs a possibility to test the involved virtual transitions against experimental data. Unfortunately, only the lowest virtual transition can be probed by the traditional electron-capture or $β^-$-decay experiments. In this article we propose that calculated amplitudes for many virtual transitions can be probed by experiments measuring rates of ordinary muon capture (OMC) to the relevant intermediate states. The first results from such experiments are expected to appear soon. As an example we discuss the $ββ$ decays of $^{76}$Ge and $^{106}$Cd and the corresponding OMC for the $^{76}$Se and $^{106}$Cd nuclei in the framework of the proton-neutron QRPA with realistic interactions. It is found that the OMC observables, just like the $2νββ$-decay amplitudes, strongly depend on the strength of the particle-particle part of the proton-neutron interaction.

description: We present a novel \textit{a posteriori} error estimator for Nédélec elements for magnetostatic problems that is constant-free, i.e. it provides an upper bound on the error that does not involve a generic constant. The estimator is based on equilibration of the magnetic field and only involves small local problems that can be solved in parallel. Such an error estimator is already available for the lowest-degree Nédélec element [D. Braess, J. Schöberl, \textit{Equilibrated residual error estimator for edge elements}, Math. Comp. 77 (2008)] and requires solving local problems on vertex patches. The novelty of our estimator is that it can be applied to Nédélec elements of arbitrary degree. Furthermore, our estimator does not require solving problems on vertex patches, but instead requires solving problems on only single elements, single faces, and very small sets of nodes. We prove reliability and efficiency of the estimator and present several numerical examples that confirm this.

Running of the top quark mass from proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV

Year: 2019

description: The running of the top quark mass is experimentally investigated for the first time. The mass of the top quark in the modified minimal subtraction ($\mathrm{\overline{MS}}$) renormalization scheme is extracted from a comparison of the differential top quark-antiquark ($\mathrm{t\overline{t}}$) cross section as a function of the invariant mass of the $\mathrm{t\overline{t}}$ system to next-to-leading-order theoretical predictions. The differential cross section is determined at the parton level by means of a maximum-likelihood fit to distributions of final-state observables. The analysis is performed using $\mathrm{t\overline{t}}$ candidate events in the e$^\pmμ^\mp$ channel in proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2016, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. The extracted running is found to be compatible with the scale dependence predicted by the corresponding renormalization group equation. In this analysis, the running is probed up to a scale of the order of 1 TeV.

description: We present a detailed examination of the heavy flavor content of the $W $ + jet data sample collected with the CDF detector during the 1992-1995 collider run at the Fermilab Tevatron. Jets containing heavy flavor quarks are selected via the identification of secondary vertices or semileptonic decays of $b$ and $c$ quarks. There is generally good agreement between the rates of secondary vertices and soft leptons in the data and in the standard model simulation including single and pair production of top quarks. An exception is the number of events in which a single jet has both a soft lepton and a secondary vertex tag. In $W +$ 2,3 jet data, we find 13 such events where we expected 4.4 $\pm$ 0.6 events. The kinematic properties of this small sample of events are statistically difficult to reconcile with the simulation of standard model processes.

Moduli from Cosmic Strings

description: Moduli fields are generally present in superstring--inspired models. They are typically characterized by masses of the order of the supersymmetry breaking scale and by interactions of gravitational strength to ordinary matter. If stable, they can easily overclose the Universe. If unstable, strong limits on their abundance have to be imposed not to disrupt the successful predictions of nucleosynthesis. We discuss the production of moduli quanta from loops of cosmic strings, which may form at phase transitions in the early history of the Universe. As an application, we then focus on strings formed at the end of hybrid inflation, showing that in this case the coupling of the moduli to the field which forms the string network has to be much weaker than the typical gravitational interactions not to exceed the bounds from nucleosynthesis. Alternatively, if the relevant coupling is of gravitational order, an upper bound of about 10^13 GeV is imposed on the string energy scale.

description: We consider the design of regulatory policy when the regulator is imperfectly informed about both the firm's cost function and the demand function it faces. To some extent, the optimal policy is the natural "combination" of the policies when there is uncertainty about demand alone or cost alone. But important qualitative differences also exist. For example, prices may optimally be set below marginal cost when there is uncertainty about both cost and demand, although prices will never fall below marginal cost when there is only a single source of uncertainty , whether it pertains to cost or demand.

description: Abstract: Mutational processes acting on cancer genomes can be traced by investigating mutational signatures. Because high sequencing costs limit current studies to small numbers of good-quality samples, we propose a robust, cost- and time-effective method, called mutREAD, to detect mutational signatures from small quantities of DNA, including degraded samples. We show that mutREAD recapitulates mutational signatures identified by whole genome sequencing, and will ultimately allow the study of mutational signatures in larger cohorts and, by compatibility with formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples, in clinical settings.

description: Abstract: We isolated a novel bacterial strain from a prokaryotic consortium associated to the psychrophilic marine ciliate Euplotes focardii, endemic of the Antarctic coastal seawater. The 16S rDNA sequencing and the phylogenetic analysis revealed the close evolutionary relationship to the Antarctic marine bacterium Marinomonas sp. BSw10506 and the sub antarctic Marinomonas polaris. We named this new strain Marinomonas sp. ef1. The optimal growth temperature in LB medium was 22 °C. Whole genome sequencing and analysis showed a reduced gene loss limited to regions encoding for transposases. Additionally, five genomic islands, e.g. DNA fragments that facilitate horizontal gene transfer phenomena, were identified. Two open reading frames predicted from the genomic islands coded for enzymes belonging to the Nitro-FMN-reductase superfamily. One of these, the putative NAD(P)H nitroreductase YfkO, has been reported to be involved in the bioreduction of silver (Ag) ions and the production of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). After the Marinomonas sp. ef1 biomass incubation with 1 mM of AgNO3 at 22 °C, we obtained AgNPs within 24 h. The AgNPs were relatively small in size (50 nm) and had a strong antimicrobial activity against twelve common nosocomial pathogenic microorganisms including Staphylococcus aureus and two Candida strains. To our knowledge, this is the first report of AgNPs biosynthesis by a Marinomonas strain. This biosynthesis may play a dual role in detoxification from silver nitrate and protection from pathogens for the bacterium and potentially for the associated ciliate. Biosynthetic AgNPs also represent a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics against common pathogens.

description: Through building “relation skills – knowledge acquisition – operation performance”, this paper discussed action mechanism of relation skills of villager autonomy organizations on operation performance of farmer households. On the basis of questionnaire survey of 208 farmer households in Guangdong, it studied influence of relation skills of villager autonomy organizations on operation performance of farmer households from hierarchical relation skills and market relation skills, and introduced knowledge acquisition as mediator variables to discuss the influence mechanism. Results indicate that relation skills and knowledge acquisition have positive influence on operation performance of farmer households, knowledge acquisition takes intermediate action on market relation skills and operation performance, while hierarchical relation skills promote improvement of operation performance only through acquisition of explicit knowledge.
Planning as Optimization: Dynamically Discovering Optimal Configurations for Runtime Situations

description: The large number of possible configurations of modern software-based systems, combined with the large number of possible environmental situations of such systems, prohibits enumerating all adaptation options at design time and necessitates planning at run time to dynamically identify an appropriate configuration for a situation. While numerous planning techniques exist, they typically assume a detailed state-based model of the system and that the situations that warrant adaptations are known. Both of these assumptions can be violated in complex, real-world systems. As a result, adaptation planning must rely on simple models that capture what can be changed (input parameters) and observed in the system and environment (output and context parameters). We therefore propose planning as optimization: the use of optimization strategies to discover optimal system configurations at runtime for each distinct situation that is also dynamically identified at runtime. We apply our approach to CrowdNav, an open-source traffic routing system with the characteristics of a real-world system. We identify situations via clustering and conduct an empirical study that compares Bayesian optimization and two types of evolutionary optimization (NSGA-II and novelty search) in CrowdNav.

Evolution and pulsations of population I post-AGB stars

description: Evolutionary calculations of population I stars with initial masses $M_0=1M_\odot$, $1.5M_\odot$ and $2M_\odot$ were carried out up to the stage of the proto--planetary nebula. Selected models of post--AGB evolutionary sequences with effective temperatures $3.6\times 10^3\,\mathrm{K}\lesssim T_\mathrm{eff}\lesssim 2\times 10^4\,\mathrm{K}$ were used as initial conditions in calculations of self--escited stellar oscillations. For the first time the sequences of hydrodynamic models of radially pulsating post--AGB stars were computed using the self--consistent solution of the equations of radiation hydrodynamics and time--dependent convection. Within this range of effective temperatures the post--AGB stars are the fundamental mode pulsators with period decreasing as the star evolves from $Π\approx 300$ day to several days. Period fluctuations are due to nonlinear effects and are most prominent at effective temperatures $T_\mathrm{eff} < 5000$K. The amplitude of bolometric light variations is $ΔM_\mathrm{bol}\approx 1$ at $T_\mathrm{eff} \lesssim 6000$K and rapidly decreases with increasing $T_\mathrm{eff}$. The theoretical dependence of the pulsation period as a function of effective temperature obtained in the study can be used as a criterion for the evolutionary status of pulsating variables suspected to be post--AGB stars.
