description: Background: Leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 (LGI1) encephalitis is a rare entity. Its typical features are seizures, faciobrachial dystonic seizures (FBDS), cognitive impairment, and personality changes. Case report: We report the case of a 66-year-old man with an unusual presentation, consisting of two types of FBDS, one starting in the foot and the other consisting of asynchronous myoclonic and dystonic jerks of the face triggered by noise and chin stimulation. The patient displayed no personality changes or cognitive impairment. Discussion: LGI1 encephalitis is a heterogeneous disease. Many different forms of FBDS may be observed, and these seizures can be the only symptom. This type of encephalitis should be suspected in presenting very frequent episodic events with dystonic features, regardless of the part of the body affected.

description: We consider pure quantum states of N qubits and study the genuine N-qubit entanglement that is shared among all the N qubits. We introduce an information-theoretic measure of genuine N-qubit entanglement based on bipartite partitions. When N is an even number, this measure is presented in a simple formula, which depends only on the purities of the partially reduced density matrices. It can be easily computed theoretically and measured experimentally. When N is an odd number, the measure can also be obtained in principle.

We introduce a number of generating function techniques that permit a novel form of static analysis for rewriting systems based upon marginalizing distributions over the states of the rewriting systems via pattern-counting observables.

Power spectrum of the SDSS luminous red galaxies: constraints on cosmological parameters
Creators: name: Huetsi, Gert
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper we determine the constraints on cosmological parameters using the CMB data from the WMAP experiment together with the recent power spectrum measurement of the SDSS Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs). Specifically, we focus on spatially flat, low matter density models with adiabatic Gaussian initial conditions. The spatial flatness is achieved with an additional quintessence component whose equation of state parameter w_eff is taken to be independent of redshift. Throughout most of the paper we do not allow any massive neutrino contribution and also the influence of the gravitational waves on the CMB is taken to be negligible. The analysis is carried out separately for two cases: (i) using the acoustic scale measurements as presented in Hütsi (2006), (ii) using the full SDSS LRG power spectrum and its covariance matrix. We are able to obtain a very tight constraint on the Hubble constant: H_0 = 70.8 ^{+2.1}_{-2.0} km/s/Mpc, which helps in breaking several degeneracies between the parameters and allows us to determine the low redshift expansion law with much higher accuracy than available from the WMAP + HST data alone. The positive deceleration parameter q_0 is found to be ruled out at 5.5 σconfidence level. Finally, we extend our analysis by investigating the effects of relaxing the assumption of spatial flatness and also allow for a contribution from massive neutrinos.

description: We investigate the use of spatial interpolation methods for reconstructing the horizontal near-surface wind field given a sparse set of measurements. In particular, random Fourier features is compared to a set of benchmark methods including Kriging and Inverse distance weighting. Random Fourier features is a linear model $β(\pmb x) = \sum_{k=1}^K β_k e^{iω_k \pmb x}$ approximating the velocity field, with frequencies $ω_k$ randomly sampled and amplitudes $β_k$ trained to minimize a loss function. We include a physically motivated divergence penalty term $|\nabla \cdot β(\pmb x)|^2$, as well as a penalty on the Sobolev norm. We derive a bound on the generalization error and derive a sampling density that minimizes the bound. Following (arXiv:2007.10683 [math.NA]), we devise an adaptive Metropolis-Hastings algorithm for sampling the frequencies of the optimal distribution. In our experiments, our random Fourier features model outperforms the benchmark models.

description: Background: Antibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) are associated with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS). Case report: A 50-year-old woman presented with symptoms progressed over 9 years, resulting in a cerebellar ataxia and right upper limb tremor. Investigations revealed elevated serum and CSF anti-GAD antibody titres (98.6 and 53.4 μ/ml, respectively). Treatment included intravenous immunoglobulin and immunomodulation (infliximab and rituximab), improving her stiffness, but with no impact on the ataxia-related symptoms. Subsequent high-dose steroids led to diabetic ketoacidosis and unmasking of an insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Discussion: This case illustrates several key features: (1) the combined clinical picture of SPS and cerebellar ataxia is a rare phenotype associated with anti-GAD antibodies; (2) the cerebellar ataxia described was progressive and poorly responsive to immunomodulatory therapy; and (3) the potential for development of further autoimmune sequelae in response to immunosuppression, namely, the development of insulin-dependent diabetes in response to treatment with high-dose oral steroids.

description: Background: The spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a group of autosomal dominant degenerative diseases characterized by cerebellar ataxia. Classified according to gene discovery, specific features of the SCAs – clinical, laboratorial, and neuroradiological (NR) – can facilitate establishing the diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to review the particular NR abnormalities in the main SCAs. Methods: We conducted a literature search on this topic. Results: The main NR characteristics of brain imaging (magnetic resonance imaging or computerized tomography) in SCAs were: (1) pure cerebellar atrophy; (2) cerebellar atrophy with other findings (e.g., pontine, olivopontocerebellar, spinal, cortical, or subcortical atrophy; “hot cross bun sign”, and demyelinating lesions); (3) selective cerebellar atrophy; (4) no cerebellar atrophy. Discussion: The main NR abnormalities in the commonest SCAs, are not pathognomonic of any specific genotype, but can be helpful in limiting the diagnostic options. We are progressing to a better understanding of the SCAs, not only genetically, but also pathologically; NR is helpful in the challenge of diagnosing the specific genotype of SCA.

description: A Gaussianity analysis using a goodness-of-fit test and the Minkowski functionals on the sphere has been performed to study the measured Archeops Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropy data for a 143 GHz Archeops bolometer. We consider large angular scales, greater than 1.8 degrees, and a large fraction of the North Galactic hemisphere, around 16%, with a galactic latitude b > 15 degrees. The considered goodness-of-fit test, first proposed by Rayner & Best (1989), has been applied to the data after a signal-to-noise decomposition. The three Minkowski functionals on the sphere have been used to construct a chi-square statistic using different thresholds. The first method has been calibrated using simulations of Archeops data containing the CMB signal and instrumental noise in order to check its asymptotic convergence. Two kind of maps produced with two different map-making techniques (coaddition and Mirage) have been analysed. Archeops maps for both Mirage and coaddition map-making, have been found to be compatible with Gaussianity. From these results we can exclude a dust and atmospheric contamination larger than 7.8% (90% CL). Also the non-linear coupling parameter f_{nl} can be constrained to be -800 < f_{nl} < 1100 at the 95% CL and on angular scales of 1.8 degrees. For comparison, the same method has been applied to data from the NASA WMAP satellite in the same region of sky. The 1-year and 3-year releases have been used. Results are compatible with those obtained with Archeops, implying in particular an upper limit for f_{nl} on degree angular scales.

description: In order to define graph transformations by the simultaneous application of concurrent rules, we have adopted in previous work a structure of attributed graphs stable by unions. We analyze the consequences on parallel independence, a property that characterizes the possibility to resort to sequential rewriting. This property turns out to depend not only on the left-hand side of rules, as in algebraic approaches to graph rewriting, but also on their right-hand side. It is then shown that, of three possible definitions of parallel rewriting, only one is convenient in the light of parallel independence.

Resolving the Structure at the Heart of BAL Quasars Through Microlensing Induced Polarisation Variability

description: While amongst the most luminous objects in the universe, many details regarding the inner structure of quasars remain unknown. One such area is the mechanism promoting increased polarisation in the broad absorption line troughs of certain quasars. This study shows how microlensing can be used to differentiate between two popular models that explain such polarisation through a realistic computational analysis. By examining a statistical ensemble of correlation data between two observables (namely image brightness and polarisation of the flux coming from the quasar), it was found that through spectropolarimetric monitoring it would be possible to discern between a model with an external scattering region and a model without one.

description: In colloidal systems, Brownian motion emerges from the massive separation of time and length scales associated to characteristic dynamics of the solute and solvent constituents. This separation of scales produces several temporal regimes in the colloidal dynamics when combined with the effects of the interaction between the particles, confinement conditions, and state variables, such as density and temperature. Some examples are the short- and long-time regimes in two- and three-dimensional open systems and the diffusive and sub-diffusive regimes observed in the single-file dynamics along a straight line. This work studies the way in which a confining geometry induces new time scales. We report on the dynamics of interacting colloidal particles moving along a circle by combining a heuristic theoretical analysis of the involved scales, Brownian Dynamics computer simulations, and video-microscopy experiments with paramagnetic colloids confined to lithographic circular channels subjected to an external magnetic field. The systems display four temporal regimes in this order: one-dimensional free diffusion, single-file sub-diffusion, free-cluster rotational diffusion, and the expected saturation due to the confinement. We also report analytical expressions for the mean-square angular displacement and crossover times obtained from scaling arguments, which accurately reproduce both experiments and simulations. Our generic approach can be used to predict the long-time dynamics of many other confined physical systems.

description: By combining data from different published 3-D simulations of Keplerian shearing boxes unstable to the magnetorotational instability (MRI), we highlight tight anti-correlations between the total effective inferred angular momentum transport parameter, $α_{tot}$, its separate Maxwell and Reynolds contributions $α_{mag}$ and $α_{kin}$, and the kinetic to magnetic pressure ratio $β$, defined with the initial or saturated (when available) thermal pressure. Plots of $Log (α_{kin}), Log (α_{mag})$, and $Log (α_{tot})$ vs $Log (β)$ are well fit by straight lines even as $α_{kin}$, $α_{mag}$,and $α_{tot}$ vary by four orders of magnitude over the simulations included. The ratio $α_{kin}/α_{mag}$ and the product $α_{tot}β$ are quite constant and largely independent of the presence or absence of weak mean fields, the choice of initial and boundary conditions, and the resolution. In short, simulations have more strongly constrained the product $α_{tot}β$ than $α_{tot}$ itself.

The survival probability of a branching random walk in presence of an absorbing wall

description: A branching random walk in presence of an absorbing wall moving at a constant velocity v undergoes a phase transition as v varies. The problem can be analyzed using the properties of the Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piscounov (F-KPP) equation. We find that the survival probability of the branching random walk vanishes at a critical velocity v_c of the wall with an essential singularity and we characterize the divergences of the relaxation times for vv_c. At v=v_c the survival probability decays like a stretched exponential. Using the F-KPP equation, one can also calculate the distribution of the population size at time t conditionned by the survival of one individual at a later time T>t. Our numerical results indicate that the size of the population diverges like the exponential of (v_c-v)^{-1/2} in the quasi-stationary regime below v_c. Moreover for v>v_c, our data indicate that there is no quasi-stationary regime.

description: This paper addresses the density based multi-sensor cooperative fusion using random finite set (RFS) type multi-object densities (MODs). Existing fusion methods use scalar weights to characterize the relative information confidence among the local MODs, and in this way the portion of contribution of each local MOD to the fused global MOD can be tuned via adjusting these weights. Our analysis shows that the fusion mechanism of using a scalar coefficient can be oversimplified for practical scenarios, as the information confidence of an MOD is complex and usually space-varying due to the imperfection of sensor ability and the various impacts from surveillance environment. Consequently, severe fusion performance degradation can be observed when these scalar weights fail to reflect the actual situation. We make two contributions towards addressing this problem. Firstly, we propose a novel heterogeneous fusion method to perform the information averaging among local RFS MODs. By factorizing each local MODs into a number of smaller size sub-MODs, it can transform the original complicated fusion problem into a much easier parallelizable multi-cluster fusion problem. Secondly, as the proposed fusion strategy is a general procedure without any particular model assumptions, we further derive the detailed heterogeneous fusion equations, with centralized network architecture, for both the probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter and the multi-Bernoulli (MB) filter. The Gaussian mixture implementations of the proposed fusion algorithms are also presented. Various numerical experiments are designed to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed fusion methods.

description: We use CORSIKA+Herwig simulation code to produce ultra-high energy neutrino interactions in the atmosphere. Our aim is to reproduce extensive air showers originated by extragalactic tau-neutrinos. For charged current tau-neutrino interactions in the atmosphere, beside the air shower originated from the neutrino interaction, it is expected that a tau is created and may decay before reaching the ground. That phenomenon makes possible the generation of two related extensive air showers, the so called Double-Bang event. We make an analysis of the main characteristics of Double-Bang events in the atmosphere for mean values of the parameters involved in such phenomenon, like the inelasticity and tau decay length. We discuss what may happen for the ``out of the average'' cases and conclude that it may be possible to observe this kind of event in ultra-high energy cosmic ray observatories such as Pierre Auger or Telescope Array.

Case Report: Magnetoencephalography-coherence source imaging (MEG-CSI) was used to map connectivity between brain regions by imaging neuronal oscillations that are coherent across the brain in patient with ED at rest and while using the index finger to evoke dystonia normally triggered by playing the flute. Discussion: During rest, there was increased coherence in the bilateral frontal and parietal regions that became more focal during dystonia. Diffuse hyperexcitability and increased coherence persisted in bilateral parietal regions as well as the bilateral frontal regions.

Applying a multidimensional indicator in which several aspects of the research performance are captured, we find large differences in the performance of men and women. These gender differences are evident across all analysed levels, such as country, field, and academic position. However, most of the gender differences can be explained by the tails of the distributions-in particular, there is a much higher proportion of men among the top 10% performing scientists. For the remaining 90% of the population, the gender differences are practically non-existent. The results of the two countries, which differ in terms of the societal role of women, are contrasting. Further, we discuss possible biases that are intrinsic in quantitative performance indicators, which might disfavour female researchers.
On Tachyons in Generic Orbifolds of $\BC^r$ and Gauged Linear Sigma Models

description: We study some aspects of Gauged Linear Sigma Models corresponding to orbifold singularities of the form $\BC^r/Γ$, for $r=2,3$ and $Γ= \BZ_n$ and $\BZ_n\times \BZ_m$. These orbifolds might be tachyonic in general. We compute expressions for the multi parameter sigma model Lagrangians for these orbifolds, in terms of their toric geometry data. Using this, we analyze some aspects of the phases of generic orbifolds of $\BC^r$.

description: It is shown that the errors of present-day exchange-correlation (xc) functionals are rather short ranged. For extended systems the correction can therefore be evaluated by analyzing properly chosen clusters and employing highest-quality quantum chemistry methods. The xc correction rapidly approaches a universal dependence with cluster size. The method is applicable to bulk systems as well as to defects in the bulk and at surfaces. It is demonstrated here for CO adsorption at transition-metal surfaces, where present-day xc functionals dramatically fail to predict the correct adsorption site, and for the crystal bulk cohesive energy.

description: The notion of a tensor captures three great ideas: equivariance, multilinearity, separability. But trying to be three things at once makes the notion difficult to understand. We will explain tensors in an accessible and elementary way through the lens of linear algebra and numerical linear algebra, elucidated with examples from computational and applied mathematics.

description: Background: We investigated whether the characteristics of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients differ based on the primary indication for deep brain stimulation (DBS). Methods: We reviewed data for 149 consecutive PD patients who underwent DBS at the University of Virginia. Patients were categorized based on primary surgical indication, and clinical characteristics were compared between groups. Results: Twenty-nine (93.5%) of 31 PD patients who underwent DBS for medication refractory tremor were men, and 66 (62.3%) of 106 PD patients who underwent DBS for motor fluctuations were men (p = 0.001). Other primary indications for DBS were tremor and fluctuations (n = 5), medication intolerance (n = 5), and dystonia (n = 2). Discussion: Patients who underwent DBS for medication refractory tremor were predominantly men, while patients who had DBS for motor fluctuations approximated the gender distribution of PD. Possible explanations are that men with PD are more likely to develop medication refractory tremor or undergo surgery for medication refractory tremor in PD compared to women.

description: In this paper a new semi-automatic procedure to transform three-dimensional point clouds of complex objects to three-dimensional finite element models is presented and validated. The procedure (CLOUD2FEM) conceives the point cloud as a stacking of point sections. The complexity of the clouds is arbitrary since the procedure is designed for terrestrial laser scanner surveys applied to buildings with irregular geometry, such as historical buildings. The proposed method allows to always produce a filled three-dimensional model ready to use for structural analysis purpose. A comparison analysis with a CAD based model is carried out on a historical building damaged by a seismic event.
Evolution of black-hole intermediate-mass X-ray binaries: the influence of a circumbinary disc
Creators: name: Chen, Wen-Cong

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006

description: Justham, Rappaport & Podsiadlowski (2006) recently suggested that black-hole low-mass X-ray binaries (BHLMXBs) with short orbital periods may have evolved from black-hole intermediate-mass X-ray binaries (BHIMXBs). In their model the secondaries in BHIMXBs are assumed to possess anomalously high magnetic fields, so that magnetic braking can lead to substantial loss of angular momentum. In this paper we propose an alternative mechanism for orbital angular momentum loss in BHIMXBs. We assume that a small fraction $δ$ of the transferred mass from the donor star form a circumbinary disc surrounding the binary system. The tidal torques exerted by the disc can effectively drain orbital angular momentum from the binary. We have numerically calculated the evolutionary sequences of BHIMXBs, to examine the influence of the circumbinary disc on the binary evolution. Our results indicate when $δ\la 0.01-0.1$ (depending on the initial orbital periods), the circumbinary disc can cause secular orbital shrinking, leading to the formation of compact BHLMXBs, otherwise the orbits always expand during the evolution. This scenario also suggests the possible existence of luminous, persistent BHLMXBs, but it suffers the same problem as in Justham, Rappaport & Podsiadlowski (2006) that, the predicted effective temperatures of the donor stars are significantly higher than those of the observed donor stars in BHLMXBs.

A comparison of two approaches for measuring interdisciplinary research output: the disciplinary diversity of authors vs the disciplinary diversity of the reference list

description: This study investigates the convergence of two bibliometric approaches to the measurement of interdisciplinary research: one based on analyzing disciplinary diversity in the reference list of publications, the other based on the disciplinary diversity of authors of publications. In particular we measure the variety, balance, disparity and integrated diversity index of, respectively, single-author, multi-author single-field, and multi-author multi-field publications. We find that, in general, the diversity of the reference list grows with the number of fields reflected in a paper's authors' list and, to a lesser extent, with the number of authors being equal the number of fields. Further, we find that when fields belonging to different disciplines are reflected in the authors' list, the disparity in the reference list is higher than in the case of fields belonging to the same discipline. However, this general tendency varies across disciplines, and noticeable exceptions are found at individual paper level.

description: Background: Orthostatic tremor (OT) is a rare symmetric tremor disorder occasionally observed in association with other movement disorders. Case report: We report the presence of a fast OT in a case of Parkinson’s disease (PD), and provide a comprehensive review of the literature. Discussion: A fast OT presenting as unsteadiness may be a presenting symptom of PD. This symptom may be nonresponsive to levodopa, and benzodiazepines should be prescribed to adequately control the OT and reduce disability.

Protestants and the state in post-Mao China
Creators: name: Dunch, Ryan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In 1979, the Chinese Communist Party restored its policy of freedom of religion. The intention of this policy was to bring religious movements which had spread underground under the suppression of the Maoist era back under state control. This was to be accomplished through the "patriotic religious organizations," which would be coopted institution accepting party leadership over religion. In the case of Protestants, however, this policy did not succeed in accomplishing the state's objectives, as unsupervised Protestant activities and unwelcome attempts by foreign Protestant groups to play a role in the evangelization of China persisted over the decade. These and more general factors led to a growing desire on the part of the state to strengthen control over Protestant religious activities, but the state's efforts to strengthen control served to undermine the credibility of the TSPM/CCC with Protestant believers, contributing to the failure of the strategy of cooption to unite Protestants under a single institutional structure. At the same time, Protestant leaders were becoming increasingly frustrated with the state's intrusions into religious life, and were seeking to have a sphere of autonomy for the church recognized by the state. By 1990, Protestant leaders were pressing for the state to encode the separation of church and state in law, while the state was more anxious than ever in the post-Tiananmen domestic and international climate to tighten its control over the church, and over society in general.
