title: Cell Type Diversity During Sea Urchin Development: A Single Cell Approach to Reveal Different Neuronal Types and Their Evolution
Creators: name: Paganos, Periklis
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2021

description: An essential step towards understanding the biology and development of an organism is identifying the molecular fingerprint of its cell types, while to understand its evolution, cell type inventories must be obtained and compared across taxa. This thesis aims to provide a thorough characterization of the genetic program employed in the cell types of a non-chordate deuterostome, the sea urchin. To this end, single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was used as a tool to recognize the major cell types in place during the late embryonic and early larval development of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. The outcome of this thesis was the generation of scRNA-seq cell type atlases for the late gastrula and two early pluteus larval stages, depicting their specific molecular signatures. Extensive analysis of the scRNA-seq data revealed complex regulatory states and novel gene markers. Moreover, the scRNA-seq analysis showed that known gene interactions could be traced back at a single-cell level and that novel functional domains of known gene regulatory modules can be described. In addition, a thorough analysis of the nervous system showed signs of increased neuronal complexity and diversity and identified pre-neuronal cell types employing a similar genetic program to the one utilized by the vertebrate cells that will give rise to the forebrain region. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of the early larva cell types led to identifying specific gastrointestinal and neuronal larval populations with a pancreatic-like genetic program. Lastly, the data presented in this thesis demonstrate that the sea urchin homolog of the master regulator Pdx1, which in vertebrates controls endocrine pancreas differentiation, has an evolutionary conserved role in promoting secretory fate by regulating the differentiation of a specific neuronal type with a strong pancreatic-like molecular signature.

description: Arguing that the equation for the gonihedric string should have a generalized Dirac form, we found a new equation which corresponds to a symmetric solution of the Majorana commutation relations and has non-Jacobian form. The corresponding generalized gamma-matrices are anticommuting. Explicit formulas for the mass spectrum lead to nonzero string tension $M^{2}_{j} \geq M^{2}(j+1)^{2}$. We discuss also new dual transformation of the Dirac equation and of the proposed generalizations.

Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (stat.ML)

description: This paper presents a new ensemble learning method for classification problems called projection pursuit random forest (PPF). PPF uses the PPtree algorithm introduced in Lee et al. (2013). In PPF, trees are constructed by splitting on linear combinations of randomly chosen variables. Projection pursuit is used to choose a projection of the variables that best separates the classes. Utilizing linear combinations of variables to separate classes takes the correlation between variables into account which allows PPF to outperform a traditional random forest when separations between groups occurs in combinations of variables. The method presented here can be used in multi-class problems and is implemented into an R (R Core Team, 2018) package, PPforest, which is available on CRAN, with development versions at https://github.com/natydasilva/PPforest.

description: Topological physics opens a door towards flexible routing and resilient localization of waves of various nature. Recently proposed higher-order topological insulators provide advanced control over wave localization in the structures of different dimensionality. In many cases, the formation of such higher-order topological phases is governed by the lattice symmetries, with kagome and breathing honeycomb lattices being prominent examples. Here, we design and experimentally realize the resonant electric circuit with $D_4$ symmetry and additional next-nearest-neighbor couplings. As we prove, a coupling of the distant neighbors gives rise to an in-gap corner state. Retrieving the associated invariant directly from the experiment, we demonstrate the topological nature of the designed system, revealing the role of long-range interactions in the formation of topological phases. Our results thus highlight the distinctions between tight-binding systems and their photonic counterparts with long-range couplings.

description: Neutrinoless double beta decay ($\znbb$) induced by superparticle exchange is investigated. Such a supersymmetric (SUSY) mechanism of $\znbb$ decay arises within SUSY theories with R-parity non-conservation (\rp). We consider the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with explicit \rp terms in the superpotential (\rp MSSM). The decay rate for the SUSY mechanism of $\znbb$ decay is calculated. Numerical values for nuclear matrix elements for the experimentally most interesting isotopes are calculated within pn-QRPA. Constraints on the \rp MSSM parameter space are extracted from current experimental half-life limits. The most stringent limits are derived from data on $^{76}$Ge. It is shown that these constraints are more stringent than those from other low-energy processes and are competitive to or even more stringent than constraints expected from accelerator searches.

description: I review a Constituent-Quark-Meson model (CQM) for heavy meson decays, outlining its characteristics and the calculation techniques developed for it. The strength of this effective model is that it enables to evaluate heavy meson decay amplitudes through diagrams where the heavy mesons are attached at the ends of loops containing heavy and light quark internal lines. The phenomenological applications are presented in detail, trying to give a self-contained operative picture of the model.

description: We study whether a given graph can be realized as an adjacency graph of the polygonal cells of a polyhedral surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We show that every graph is realizable as a polyhedral surface with arbitrary polygonal cells, and that this is not true if we require the cells to be convex. In particular, if the given graph contains $K_5$, $K_{5,81}$, or any nonplanar $3$-tree as a subgraph, no such realization exists. On the other hand, all planar graphs, $K_{4,4}$, and $K_{3,5}$ can be realized with convex cells. The same holds for any subdivision of any graph where each edge is subdivided at least once, and, by a result from McMullen et al. (1983), for any hypercube.
 Our results have implications on the maximum density of graphs describing polyhedral surfaces with convex cells: The realizability of hypercubes shows that the maximum number of edges over all realizable $n$-vertex graphs is in $Ω(n \log n)$. From the non-realizability of $K_{5,81}$, we obtain that any realizable $n$-vertex graph has $O(n^{9/5})$ edges. As such, these graphs can be considerably denser than planar graphs, but not arbitrarily dense.

description: Graphene has shown great potentials for high-speed photodetection. Yet, the responsivities of graphene-based high-speed photodetectors are commonly limited by the weak effective absorption of atomically thin graphene. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a plasmonically enhanced waveguide-integrated graphene photodetector. The device which combines a 6 micron long layer of graphene with field-enhancing nano-sized metallic structures, demonstrates a high external responsivity of 0.5 A/W and a fast photoresponse way beyond 110 GHz. The high efficiency and fast response of the device enables for the first time 100 Gbit/s PAM-2 and 100 Gbit/s PAM-4 data reception with a graphene based device. The results show the potential of graphene as a new technology for highest-speed communication applications.

description: We discuss how the vacuum model of Celenza and Shakin with a squeezed gluon condensate can explain the existence of an infrared singular gluon propagator frequently used in calculations within the global colour model. In particular, it reproduces a recently proposed QCD-motivated model where low energy chiral parameters were computed as a function of a dynamically generated gluon mass. We show how the strength of the confining interaction of this gluon propagator and the value of the physical gluon condensate may be connected.

description: The article deals with the problems of teaching and learning speaking, in particular those which are most relevant in the context of developing oral skills at the advanced level of foreign language proficiency. The complex nature of spoken discourse must be taken into account and reflected at each stage of the learning process. Thus, the article examines the difficulties connected with choosing the appropriate framework and approach and discusses the typical patterns of interaction in the foreign language classroom. It also examines forms of control and evaluation and suggests some speaking activities which seem most suitable for advanced language learners in the light of the above theoretical considerations.
Following Forrelation -- Quantum Algorithms in Exploring Boolean Functions' Spectra

description: Here we revisit the quantum algorithms for obtaining Forrelation [Aaronson et al, 2015] values to evaluate some of the well-known cryptographically significant spectra of Boolean functions, namely the Walsh spectrum, the cross-correlation spectrum and the autocorrelation spectrum. We introduce the existing 2-fold Forrelation formulation with bent duality based promise problems as desirable instantiations. Next we concentrate on the $3$-fold version through two approaches. First, we judiciously set-up some of the functions in $3$-fold Forrelation, so that given an oracle access, one can sample from the Walsh Spectrum of $f$. Using this, we obtain improved results than what we obtain from the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm, and in turn it has implications in resiliency checking. Furthermore, we use similar idea to obtain a technique in estimating the cross-correlation (and thus autocorrelation) value at any point, improving upon the existing algorithms. Finally, we tweak the quantum algorithm with superposition of linear functions to obtain a cross-correlation sampling technique. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first cross-correlation sampling algorithm with constant query complexity. This also provides a strategy to check if two functions are uncorrelated of degree $m$. We further modify this using Dicke states so that the time complexity reduces, particularly for constant values of $m$.

description: High-resolution spectroscopy and speckle interferometry reveal the young star HD 86588 as a quadruple system with a 3-tier hierarchy. The 0.3" resolved binary A,B with an estimated period around 300 years contains the 8-year pair Aa,Abc (also potentially resolvable), where Ab,Ac is a double-lined binary with equal components, for which we compute the spectroscopic orbit. Despite the short period of 2.4058 day, the orbit of Ab,Ac is eccentric (e=0.086+-0.003). It has a large inclination, but there are no eclipses; only a 4.4 mmag light modulation apparently caused by star spots on the components of this binary is detected with Evryscope. Assuming a moderate extinction of A_V = 0.5 mag and a parallax of 5.2 mas, we find that the stars are on or close to the main sequence (age >10 Myr) and their masses are from 1 to 1.3 solar. We measure the strength of the Lithium line in the visual secondary B which, together with rotation, suggests that the system is younger than 150 Myr. This object is located behind the extension of the Chamaeleon I dark cloud (which explains extinction and interstellar Sodium absorption), but apparently does not belong to it. We propose a scenario where the inner orbit has recently acquired its high eccentricity through dynamical interaction with the outer two components; it is now undergoing rapid tidal circularization on a time scale of ~1 Myr. Alternatively, the eccentricity could be excited quasi-stationary by the outer component Aa.

description: We investigate the SO(10)-unification model in a Lie algebraic formulation of noncommutative geometry. The SO(10)-symmetry is broken by a 45-Higgs and the Majorana mass term for the right neutrinos (126-Higgs) to the standard model structure group. We study the case that the fermion masses are as general as possible, which leads to two 10-multiplets, four 120-multiplets and two additional 126-multiplets of Higgs fields. This Higgs structure differs considerably from the two Higgs multiplets 16 \otimes 16^* and 16^c \otimes 16^* used by Chamseddine and Fröhlich. We find the usual tree-level predictions of noncommutative geometry m_W=(1/2)m_t, \sin^2θ_W=(3/8) and g_2=g_3 as well as m_H \leq m_t.

description: Department of Defense (DoD) software acquisition has long been a complex and document-heavy process. Historically, many software acquisition activities, such as generating Requests for Information \(RFIs), summarizing government regulations, identifying relevant commercial standards, and drafting project status updates, have required considerable human-intensive effort. However, the advent of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including large language models (LLMs), offers a promising opportunity to accelerate and streamline certain aspects of the software acquisition process.  Software acquisition is one of many complex mission-critical domains that may benefit from applying generative AI to augment and/or accelerate human efforts. This blog post is the first in a series dedicated to exploring how generative AI, particularly LLMs like ChatGPT-4, can enhance software acquisition activities. Below, we present 10 benefits and 10 challenges of applying LLMs to the software acquisition process and suggest specific use cases where generative AI can provide value. Our focus is on providing timely information to software acquisition professionals, including defense software developers, program managers, systems engineers, cybersecurity analysts, and other key stakeholders, who operate within challenging constraints and prioritize security and accuracy.
Modulation of near-wall turbulence in the transitionally rough regime

description: Direct numerical simulations of turbulent channels with rough walls are conducted in the transitionally rough regime. The effect that roughness produces on the overlying turbulence is studied using a modified triple decomposition of the flow. This decomposition separates the roughness-induced contribution from the background turbulence, with the latter essentially free of any texture footprint. For small roughness, the background turbulence is not significantly altered, but merely displaced closer to the roughness crests, with the change in drag being proportional to this displacement. As the roughness size increases, the background turbulence begins to be modified, notably by the increase of energy for short, wide wavelengths, which is consistent with the appearance of a shear-flow instability of the mean flow. A laminar model is presented to estimate the roughness-coherent contribution, as well as the displacement height and the velocity at the roughness crests. Based on the effects observed in the background turbulence, the roughness function is decomposed into different terms to analyse different contributions to the change in drag, laying the foundations for a predictive model.

description: Open source development, to a great extent, is a type of social movement in which shared ideologies play critical roles. For participants of open source development, ideology determines how they make sense of things, shapes their thoughts, actions, and interactions, enables rich social dynamics in their projects and communities, and hereby realizes profound impacts at both individual and organizational levels. While software engineering researchers have been increasingly recognizing ideology's importance in open source development, the notion of "ideology" has shown significant ambiguity and vagueness, and resulted in theoretical and empirical confusion. In this article, we first examine the historical development of ideology's conceptualization, and its theories in multiple disciplines. Then, we review the extant software engineering literature related to ideology. We further argue the imperatives of developing an empirical theory of ideology in open source development, and propose a research agenda for developing such a theory. How such a theory could be applied is also discussed.

Year: 2019

description: In den letzten Jahren hat sich – bedingt durch den Ausbau ganztägiger Bildungsangebote und Inklusion – zunehmend die Annahme der Notwendigkeit von Kooperation zwischen Lehrkräften und außerunterrichtlichem pädagogischen Personal durchgesetzt. Ungeachtet der Vielzahl an Programmatiken, in denen multiprofessionelle Kooperation befürwortet wird, offenbaren sich empirisch verschiedene Hindernisse und Schwierigkeiten. Faktoren, die in diesem Zusammenhang immer wieder genannt werden, sind überhöhte Ansprüche und Erwartungen an den Kooperationspartner oder gegenseitige stereotype Zuschreibungen, bedingt durch fehlendes Wissen und mangelnde Austauschmöglichkeiten der Akteurinnen und Akteure. Für die Lehrerbildung bedeutet dies, dass sie den damit verbundenen erweiterten Professionalisierungsansprüchen Rechnung tragen und Lerngelegenheiten bereitstellen sollte, die Studierende auf die Zusammenarbeit in einer multiprofessionellen Kooperationskultur vorbereiten. An der Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen wird deshalb im Rahmen der „Gießener Offensive Lehrerbildung (GOL)“ das Aufbaumodul „Arbeiten in multiprofessionellen Teams“ entwickelt, dessen Ziel sowohl in der Stärkung der reflexiven Wahrnehmung eigener und fremder Professionalität als auch in einer analytischen Auseinandersetzung mit der Kooperationswirklichkeit besteht. Aktuell werden mehrere, studiengangsübergreifende Lehrveranstaltungskonzepte pilotiert, in denen sich Studierende im Modus forschenden Lernens der Kooperationswirklichkeit an Schulen nähern. Im Beitrag wird exemplarisch eines dieser Konzepte sowie die Evaluationsergebnisse aus drei Veranstaltungszyklen vorgestellt.

description: New theoretical evaluations of the RGB luminosity function 'bump' and the ZAHB luminosity covering the range of metallicities typical of galactic globular cluster are presented. The variation of the theoretical RGB bump and ZAHB levels due to the metallicity, original helium content, mixing length value, age, mass loss, bolometric corrections, opacities and equation of state adopted in the evolutionary models is also discussed. These new prescriptions have been taken into account for casting light on a longstanding astrophysical problem connected with the Red Giant Branch evolutionary phase, namely the discrepancy between the observational and the theoretical luminosity of RGB bump. A sample of globular clusters with accurate evaluations of the bump luminosity and spectroscopical metallicity determinations has been selected. The Zero Age Horizontal Branch luminosity at the RR-Lyrae instability strip has been evaluated as accurately as possible, and the observational luminosity difference between the RGB bump and the ZAHB has been compared with the theoretical values. It is shown that there is no significant disagreement between observations and canonical stellar models. The possible applications of this result are also briefly discussed.

description: We have carried out a study of the hydrodynamics of disconnected quark regions during the final stages of the cosmological quark-hadron transition. A set of relativistic Lagrangian equations is presented for following the evaporation of a single quark drop and results from the numerical solution of this are discussed. A self-similar solution is shown to exist and the formation of baryon number density inhomogeneities at the end of the drop contraction is discussed.

Deep Neural Networks Guided Ensemble Learning for Point Estimation

description: In modern statistics, interests shift from pursuing the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator to reducing mean squared error (MSE) or residual squared error. Shrinkage based estimation and regression methods offer better prediction accuracy and improved interpretation. However, the characterization of such optimal statistics in terms of minimizing MSE remains open and challenging in many problems, for example estimating treatment effect in adaptive clinical trials with pre-planned modifications to design aspects based on accumulated data. From an alternative perspective, we propose a deep neural network based automatic method to construct an improved estimator from existing ones. Theoretical properties are studied to provide guidance on applicability of our estimator to seek potential improvement. Simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed method has considerable finite-sample efficiency gain as compared with several common estimators. In the Adaptive COVID-19 Treatment Trial (ACTT) as an important application, our ensemble estimator essentially contributes to a more ethical and efficient adaptive clinical trial with fewer patients enrolled. The proposed framework can be generally applied to various statistical problems, and can be served as a reference measure to guide statistical research.
Homoclinic chaos and its organization in a nonlinear optics model

description: We developed a powerful computational approach to elaborate on onset mechanisms of deterministic chaos due to complex homoclinic bifurcations in diverse systems. Its core is the reduction of phase space dynamics to symbolic binary representations that lets one detect regions of simple and complex dynamics as well as fine organization structures of the latter in parameter space. Massively parallel simulations shorten the computational time to disclose highly detailed bifurcation diagrams to a few seconds.
Thermal Dilepton Radiation at Intermediate Masses at the CERN-SpS

description: We investigate the significance of thermal dilepton radiation in the intermediate-mass region in heavy-ion reactions at CERN-SpS energies. Within a thermal fireball model for the space-time evolution, the radiation from hot matter is found to dominate over hard 'background' processes (Drell-Yan and open charm) up to invariant masses of about 2 GeV, with a rather moderate fraction emerging from early stages with temperatures $T\simeq 175-200$ MeV associated with deconfined matter. Further including a schematic acceptance for the NA50 experiment we find good agreement with the observed enhancement in the region 1.5 GeV~$

description: [transcription] Monsieur,
J’aurais déjà eu l’honneur de vous répondre au sujet de l’inscription, si une indisposition qui retenait Mme l’abbesse au lit ne m’eût empêché de rentrer dans le couvent, car il fallait la voir avant que d’y pénétrer. J’ai vérifié le mot qui vous embarrasse, il est très lisible et voici comment. Il y a ??????????. Je n’ai trouvé de différence entre les caractères du mot que vous m’écrivez et ceux qui sont sur la pierre que dans l.o. Il est exactement figuré comme ci-dessus. Il faut avoir votre intelligence, Monsieur, pour deviner ce que cela peut figurer. J’ai fait usage de toutes vos remarques qui m’ont paru extrêmement judicieuses et m’ont mis dans le cas de faire encore quelques petites recherches. Je regrette beaucoup de n’avoir plus sous la main tout ce que vous avez fait imprimer. J’aurais très grand parti de vos dissertations qui sont dans les recueils de Dijon, mais j’espère les trouver dans quelques bibliothèques mieux fournies que celles de Marseille. Je les connais de réputation et avantageusement.
Si j’étais à Nîmes, Monsieur, je vous demanderais ce que vous pensez de l’inscription suivante à laquelle M. l’abbé Barthélemy, qui me l’a donnée, n’entend rien, ou du moins il a eu la modestie de me le dire. Elle est du lieu de la Penne dans le diocèse de Galadèves sur une pierre froide qui sert de base au bénitier d’une chapelle bâtie hors du village. On écrit qu’elle est très lisible. La voici:

[fol. 61 v] On appelle encore les habitants de ce pays-là, les Beritius. La difficulté est de savoir le nom des particuliers qui firent le vœu. Ce IEVS est fort embarrassant. Mais vous, Monsieur, qui possédez si bien l’antiquité et le langage des inscriptions, vous pouvez y trouver le vrai sens de tous ces mots. Je vous renouvelle mon estime et les offres de tous mes services. Vous me ferez plaisir si vous me procurez des occasions de vous convaincre de tous mes sentiments. J’en attends une pour vous envoyer un bout de prospectus ouje propose le plan de mon ouvrage.
Je suis avec l’attachement le plus tendre et le plus respectueux, Monsieur, votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur.

Papon de l’Oratoire.

Global or Local Pure-Condensible Atmospheres: Importance of Horizontal Latent Heat Transport

description: The distribution of a pure condensible planetary atmosphere in equilibrium with a surface reservoir is revisited employing the energy budget of the climate system, emphasizing the atmospheric horizontal latent heat transport. This configuration is applicable to icy Solar System bodies such as Triton as well as a range of possible exoplanet atmospheres, including water or $\mathrm{CO_2}$ iceballs or ocean worlds, and lava planets with mineral vapor atmospheres. Climate regimes for slowly rotating planets with the hot-spot near the substellar point, and for rapidly rotating planets with a warm equatorial belt, are both treated. A non-dimensional parameter controlling the fractional variation of the surface pressure is derived; it measures whether the pure condensible atmosphere is global or localized. The global pure condensible atmosphere with the non-dimensional parameter much less than order of unity is maintained by the strong horizontal latent heat transport associated with an "evaporation/sublimation-driven flow" from warm to cold places that compensates for the incoming differential radiative forcing. We show that the variation of surface temperature can be estimated in terms of this non-dimensional parameter if it is not too large. In the case of a pure water-vapor atmosphere with an ice or liquid surface, we show that the atmosphere is thick enough to maintain nearly isothermal surface conditions even when the substellar surface temperature is around the freezing point. Finally, it is proposed that the evaporation/sublimation-driven flow regime for global atmospheres could be detected via its effect on the inhomogeneous distribution of minor non-condensible components in the atmosphere.

Dynamics of ``Small Galaxies'' in the Hubble Deep Field

description: We have previously found in the Hubble Deep Field a significant angular correlation of faint, high color-redshift objects on scales below one arcsecond, or several kiloparsecs in metric size. We examine the correlation and nearest neighbor statistics to conclude that 38% of these objects in the HDF have a companion within one arcsecond, three times the number expected in a random distribution with the same number of objects. We examine three dynamical scenarios for these object multiplets: 1) the objects are star-forming regions within normal galaxies, whose disks have been relatively dimmed by K-correction and surface brightness dimming; 2) they are fragments merging into large galaxies; 3) they are satellites accreting onto normal L_* galaxies. We find that hypothesis 1 is most tenable. First, large galaxies in the process of a merger formation would have accumulated too much mass in their centers (5e12 M_sun inside 2 kpc) to correspond to present day objects. Second, accretion by dynamical friction occurs with a predictable density vs. radius slope, not seen among the faint HDF objects. Since the dynamical friction time is roughly (1 Gyr), a steady-state should have been reached by redshift z < 5. Star-forming regions within galaxies clearly present no dynamical problems. Since large spirals would still appear as such in the HDF, we favor a scenario in which the faint compact sources in the HDF are giant starforming regions within small normal galaxies, such as Magellanic irregulars. Finally we checked that reduction in mass-to-light from induced star-formation cannot alone explain the luminosity overdensity.
