description: Genome-wide DNA copy number profiles are a form of molecular data used in multiple areas of genomic analysis and derived from a variety of platforms, including microarrays and next-generation sequencing. Here we present an improved, Bioconductor-compliant version of CNprep (Sun and Krasnitz, 2014), an R package for inference of significant gains and losses in genome-wide DNA copy number profiles. Such inference is relatively simple for profiles derived from normal genomes of an organism, where germline copy number variants (CNV) occupy narrow genomic regions and copy number values are integer. In cancer, these profiles often represent mixtures of cells with different CNV patterns, and CNV extend over large portions of the genome. As a result, it may be difficult to distinguish genuine CNV from platform-dependent noise.

In CNprep, CNV are identified based on the assumption that the largest portion of the genome is in a normal, CNV-free state. To identify this portion, CNprep uses data from two sources: the CNV profile of interest and, optionally, as a reference, a set of CNV profiles from cancer-free tissues, with nearly all of the genome in a normal state. Two data types are used as input: copy number values as a noisy function of the genomic location and a piecewise-constant approximation of that function called segmentation. The package employs a clustering approach to identify the portion of the genome in the normal copy number state, and computes, for each segment, its marginal probability to belong to that state. Segments with low marginal probabilities are flagged as amplified or deleted.

description: The spin gap evolution upon Ca doping in Sr14-xCaxCu24O41 was systematically investigated using inelastic neutron scattering. We discover that the singlet-triplet spin gap excitation survives in this series with x up to 13, indicating the singlet dimer ground state in these compounds. This observation corrects the previous speculation that the spin gap collapses at x~13 by the NMR technique. The strong intensity modulation along QH in x=0 gradually evolves into a Q-independent feature in x>11. This could be attributed to the localized Cu moment magnetism developing into an itinerant magnetism with increasing x. It is a surprise that the spin gap persists in the normal state of this spin ladder system with metallic behaviour, which evidences the possibility of magnetically-mediated carrier pairing mechanism in a two-leg spin ladder lattice.

Creators: name: Regulatory Catalog
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The MIDA model is a multimodal imaging-based detailed anatomical computer model of the human head and neck. The model offers detailed representation of brain surfaces, meninges, cerebrospinal fluid distribution, eyes, ears, and several deep brain structures, as well as many distinct muscles, bones and skull layers, blood vessels, cranial nerves, dental structures, and glands. Organs and tissues of the MIDA model are represented by three-dimensional, highly detailed computer-aided design (CAD) objects in standardized CAD data format. The individual CAD objects allow meshing at arbitrary resolutions without loss of small features. The MIDA model can be used in all software capable of importing and manipulating CAD data for the computational modelling in the device safety testing and design optimization.

description: Aggregation of ice particles is a fundamental process in the interstellar medium as well as in planet formation. Dedicated to study the contact physics of nm-ice particles we developed a thermal gradient force microscope. This allows us and was used to measure pull-off forces with a resolution on the nN-scale and to measure rolling. Furthermore, based on a free probe, it also allows us to study twisting torques for the first time. The experiments show that torques required to twist are significantly larger than that macroscopic models scaled down to the nm-size range would predict. This implies that (ice) aggregates in astrophysical settings with small constituents are more robust against restructuring than previously thought. They likely grow as fractal aggregates to larger size before they restructure and during later compact growth they likely retain a higher porosity during further evolution towards planetesimals.

description: The influence of strong internal forces on photon-assisted scattering and on the displacement mechanism of magnetoconductivity oscillations in a two-dimensional (2D) electron gas is theoretically studied. The theory is applied to the highly correlated system of surface electrons on liquid helium under conditions that the microwave frequency is substantially different from inter-subband resonance frequencies. A strong dependence of the amplitude of magnetoconductivity oscillations on the electron density is established. The possibility of experimental observation of such oscillations caused by photon-assisted scattering is discussed.

description: Standard statistical practice ignores model uncertainty. Data analysts typically select a model from some class of models and then proceed as if the selected model had generated the data. This approach ignores the uncertainty in model selection, leading to over-confident inferences and decisions that are more risky than one thinks they are. Bayesian model averaging (BMA)provides a coherent mechanism for accounting for this model uncertainty. Several methods for implementing BMA have recently emerged. We discuss these methods and present a number of examples.In these examples, BMA provides improved out-of-sample predictive performance. We also provide a catalogue of currently available BMA software.

description: This paper deals with the discrete subgroup problem, solvable through the study of higher Teichmüller theory. The discrete subgroup problem is as follows: given a Lie group (a group with continuity) such as R, how do you find discrete subgroups, such as Z, particularly those of a type similar to (isomorphic to) a certain group? This paper details how, using theorems pertaining to Higher Teichmüller theory graphing the eigenvalue gaps of a matrix group can be used to figure out if it is a discrete subgroup of a Lie Group. In it, I find two subsets of results: one is working towards an attempt to validate recently found results about a Lie group, and the other is a result about the method itself (specifically, projective convex bending) and how it can be used empirically.
Real-World Simulation Model for Advanced Analyses and Developments of Trolleybus Systems
Creators: name: Abohat, Mohammed
Publisher: name: Bergische Universität Wuppertal
Year: 2023

description: Curbing climate change requires significant efforts from all sectors, including transportation. The city's public transport system is a crucial component of the transport sector. Combining the tried-and-true trolleybus technology with the state-of-the-art battery technology creates the battery-trolleybuses, which offer significant environmental benefits in the fight against fossil fuel pollution in cities.The goal of this work is to develop a simulation model that can overcome limitations in accurately representing real-world conditions, such as traffic congestion, weather conditions, and passenger demand. This work also investigates the challenges of implementing many innovative features into modern trolleybus systems, such as battery-trolleybuses, photovoltaic systems, electric vehicle charging stations,and battery storage power stations. The simulation model will take into account various factors from both the traffic and electrical network parts that can affect the performance of trolleybus systems.The simulation model is a discrete-time model that identifies the trolleybus system state across time samples. As the buses move continuously, the topology of the traction network will vary with each time step. Thus, a new conductance matrix for the trolleybus traction network is determined at each time step. Moreover, the presence of unidirectional traction substations results in significant voltage rises whenever surplus power is produced. A specific approach is implemented to effectively determine the traction network's steady-state.This thesis makes a significant contribution to the fields of transportation and electric power engineering by introducing a novel simulation model. This model can help enhance the performance of current trolleybus systems, support decision-making for public transportation authorities, and promote the transition towards environmentally++

Empirical likelihood on the full parameter space

description: We extend the empirical likelihood of Owen [Ann. Statist. 18 (1990) 90-120] by partitioning its domain into the collection of its contours and mapping the contours through a continuous sequence of similarity transformations onto the full parameter space. The resulting extended empirical likelihood is a natural generalization of the original empirical likelihood to the full parameter space; it has the same asymptotic properties and identically shaped contours as the original empirical likelihood. It can also attain the second order accuracy of the Bartlett corrected empirical likelihood of DiCiccio, Hall and Romano [Ann. Statist. 19 (1991) 1053-1061]. A simple first order extended empirical likelihood is found to be substantially more accurate than the original empirical likelihood. It is also more accurate than available second order empirical likelihood methods in most small sample situations and competitive in accuracy in large sample situations. Importantly, in many one-dimensional applications this first order extended empirical likelihood is accurate for sample sizes as small as ten, making it a practical and reliable choice for small sample empirical likelihood inference.

Les surréalistes et le musée d’ethnographie

description: The Institute of Ethnology was founded in 1925 ; in 1928, Paul Rivet and Georges-Henri Rivière were put in charge of reorganizing the old Museum of Ethnography in the Trocadéro where the Fauves and the Cubists had discovered the Negro art at the begining of the century. In 1934, the building was finally destroyed and replaced by the Palais de Chaillot where the Musée de l’Homme would be inaugurated in 1938. These years are marked by an artistic and cultural dynamism where ethnologist's and avant-garde surrealists'interests intersected. But this proximity would not last because the avant-garde's demands were incompatible with the institutionalization of the discipline of ethnology around the Musée de l’Homme. During this period oppositions between ethnologists and "esthetes" also appeared as we may still see it today in the controversies concerning the transfer of the Musée de l’Homme’s collections and the Musée des Arts Premiers’s project at the quai Branly.

description: Heteroepitaxial growth of selected group IV-VI nitrides on various orientations of sapphire (α-Al2O3) is demonstrated using atomic layer deposition. High quality, epitaxial films are produced at significantly lower temperatures than required by conventional deposition methods. Characterization of electrical and superconducting properties of epitaxial films reveals a reduced room temperature resistivity and increased residual resistance ratio (RRR) for films deposited on sapphire compared to polycrystalline samples deposited concurrently on fused quartz substrates.

Compression of Geospatial Data with Varying Information Density

description: Geospatial data can vary in its information density from one part of the world to another. A dataset containing streets will be very dense in cities but contains little information in remote places like the Alps or even the ocean. The same is also true for datasets about the ocean or the atmosphere. The variability of sea surface temperatures and currents is much larger in the vicinity of the golf stream than in the middle of the Atlantic basin. This variability might also change in time. A hurricane, for example, has a lot of variability in winds, temperature and rain rates, and travels in addition across entire ocean basins.
The challenge of this project is to improve `xbitinfo` to preserve the natural variability of these features but not to save random noise where the real information density is rather low. This means in particular that the number of bits needed to preserve in compression changes with location. A hurricane has a different information density than a same-sized area in the steadily blowing trade-wind regimes. Compressibility of climate data therefore can change drastically in time and space, which we want to exploit.
Currently in the bitinformation framework, to preserve all real information, the maximum information content calculated by `xbitinfo` needs to be used for the entire dataset. However, bitinformation can also be calculated on subsets, such that the 'boring' parts can therefore be more efficiently compressed.

description: "The final goal of which an ethnographer should never lose sight [. . .] is, briefly, to grasp the native's point of view, his relation to life, to realize his vision of his world." C'est ainsi que, dans un passage célèbre de l'introduction aux Argonautes du Pacifique occidental, Bronislaw Malinowski définit le travail de l'ethnographe. L'analogie est tentante : en nous attachant à l'histoire de la littérature telle qu'elle est racontée par les écrivains eux-mêmes, nous procédons en somme comme des ethnographes soucieux de reconstituer la vision du monde des indigènes - leur rapport à la vie, leur vision de leur monde et donc aussi, leur rapport au passé. Venus du monde savant, du pays de l'université et des bibliothèques, nous cherchons à comprendre la façon dont ces étranges autochtones, les écrivains, racontent leur histoire et celle de ce pays de Littérature qu'ils habitent.

description: Undirected graphs and acyclic digraphs (ADG's), as well as their mutual extension to chain graphs, are widely used to describe dependencies among variables in multiviarate distributions. In particular, the likelihood functions of ADG models admit convenient recursive factorizations that often allow explicit maximum likelihood estimates and that are well suited to building Bayesian networks for expert systems. Whereas the undirected graph associated with a dependence model is uniquely determined, there may be many ADG's that determine the same dependence (i.e., Markov) model. Thus, the family of all ADG's with a given set of vertices is naturally partitioned into Markov-equivalence classes, each class being associated with a unique statistical model. Statistical procedures, such as model selection of model averaging, that fail to take into account these equivalence classes may incur substantial computational or other inefficiences. Here it is show that each Markov-equivalence class is uniquely determined by a single chain graph, the essential graph, that is itself simultaneously Markov equivalent to all ADG's in the equivalence class. Essential graphs are characterized, a polynomial-time algorithm for their construction is given, and their applications to model selection and other statistical questions are described.
Search for scalar and vector leptoquarks decaying into quarks and leptons of different generations

description: Es wird eine Suche nach Leptoquarks präsentiert, die in Proton-Proton-Kollisionen bei einer Schwerpunktsenergie von 13TeV paarweise produziert werden. Der Datensatz, aufgenommen mit dem ATLAS-Detektor am Large Hadron Collider, entspricht einer integrierten Luminosität von 139 fb-1. Es wird angenommen, dass die Leptoquarks nur in Quarks der dritten Generation und in Leptonen der ersten oder zweiten Generation zerfallen. Von Interesse sind insbesondere Endzustände, die genau ein hochenergetisches Elektron oder Muon enthalten. Entsprechende Ereignisse enthalten außerdem große Mengen an fehlendem transversalem Impuls. Diese Charakteristiken erlauben es, Beiträge von Untergrundprozessen effizient zu unterdrücken. Des weiteren werden neuronale Netze eingesetzt, um übrige Untergrundereignisse bestmöglich zu entfernen. Die neuronalen Netze werden separat für diverse Signalmodelle trainiert. Insgesamt werden acht verschiedene Signalhypothesen betrachtet. Da in den gemessenen Daten keine signifikanten Abweichungen von der Vorhersage des Standardmodells der Teilchenphysik beobachtet werden, werden Ausschlusslimits für die Signalmodellebestimmt. Im Anschluss werden Ergebnisse einer statistischen Kombination mit anderen Suchen nach Leptoquarks präsentiert.
description: A search for pairs of leptoquarks produced in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV is presented. The data set, recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb-1. The leptoquarks are assumed to decay only into quarks of the third generation and leptons of the first or the second generation. In particular, final states containing exactly one highly-energetic electron or muon are targeted. Additionally, events of interest contain large amounts of missing transverse momentum. These characteristics allow for an efficient discrimination against background events. Contributions from background processes are further suppressed through the application of neural networks, trained separately for various signal hypotheses. In total, eight different signal models are considered. In the absence of significant deviations between observed data and predictions based on the Standard Model of Particle Physics, exclusion limits on the signal models are derived. Finally, results from a statistical combination with other searches for leptoquarks are presented.

description: Every year many accidents and deaths are caused related to drunk driving in the United States alone. Not only lives are lost but also public and private property destruction is caused. To tackle these ever-occurring problems, the (“DADSS”) DRIVER ALCOHOL DETECTION SYSTEM for SAFETY program was established. This program is responsible to tackle the problems faced due to drunk driving.This program is directed at developing an alcohol detection system that is capable of detecting whether a driver is impaired by alcohol and take appropriate measures accordingly.The research focuses on the design of the inlet for the sensor used in alcohol detection in a vehicle and the simulation of breath flow through the inlet designed to retrofit an actual car. This study is carried out to show how the sensor inlet design could be improved if needed. We study what is the effect of variation of flow rate, variation of inlet area, variation of inlet shape, and change in inclination of the inlet air on the senor inlet. In every variation considered for the study, all the other factors are kept constant.Results are displayed with the images of flow over and in the sensor inlet. Velocity profiles and velocity contours are shown for all the simulations to grasp a better understanding of how these effects could be potentially used towards the advancement of the research in the future. We can use the conducted research results to further make necessary changes in the design of the sensors if deemed needed.

description: Large weak values have been used to amplify the sensitivity of a linear response signal for detecting changes in a small parameter, which has also enabled a simple method for precise parameter estimation. However, producing a large weak value requires a low postselection probability for an ancilla degree of freedom, which limits the utility of the technique. We propose an improvement to this method that uses entanglement to increase the efficiency. We show that by entangling and postselecting $n$ ancillas, the postselection probability can be increased by a factor of $n$ while keeping the weak value fixed (compared to $n$ uncorrelated attempts with one ancilla), which is the optimal scaling with $n$ that is expected from quantum metrology. Furthermore, we show the surprising result that the quantum Fisher information about the detected parameter can be almost entirely preserved in the postselected state, which allows the sensitive estimation to approximately saturate the optimal quantum Cramér-Rao bound. To illustrate this protocol we provide simple quantum circuits that can be implemented using current experimental realizations of three entangled qubits.

The whole way there was a long, stomach-churning journey. Our tour guide switched on a movie in the tour bus on the way there, and I am certain not many of us watched it. We had already studied the Holocaust, and we did not want to look at gut-wrenching pictures of victims taken in the place we were about to visit. Arriving in the parking lot was like walking in to a horror film, all the buildings so familiar from the pictures and movies and documentaries we and seen all our lives, and especially those we had studied in our pre-trip classes and research. As they loomed right in front of me, I could not do anything but look away.

description: The transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMD) MoS2 and WS2 show remarkable electromechanical properties. Strain modifies the direct band gap into an indirect one, and substantial strain even induces an semiconductor-metal transition. Providing strain through mechanical contacts is difficult for TMD monolayers, but state-of-the-art for TMD nanotubes. We show using density-functional theory that similar electromechanical properties as in monolayer and bulk TMDs are found for large diameter TMD single- (SWNT) and multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs). The semiconductor-metal transition occurs at elongations of 16 %. We show that Raman spectroscopy is an excellent tool to determine the strain of the nanotubes and hence monitor the progress of that nanoelectromechanical experiment in situ. TMD MWNTs show twice the electric conductance compared to SWNTs, and each wall of the MWNTs contributes to the conductance proportional to its diameter.

description: "These papers represent two of the many different graphical modeling camps that have emerged from a flurry of activity in the past decade. The paper by Cox and Wermuth falls within the statistical graphical modeling camp and provides a useful generalization of that body of work. There is, of course, a price to be paid for this generality, namely that the interpretation of the graphs is more complex...The paper by Spiegelhalter, Dawid, Lauritzen and Cowell falls within the probabilistic expert system camp. This is a tour de force by researchers responsible for much of the astonishing progress in this area. Ten years ago, probabilistic models were shunned by the artificial intelligence community. That they are now widely accepted and used is due in large measure to the insights and efforts of these authors, along with other pioneers such as Judea Pearl and Peter Cheeseman..." -- page 261

description: The Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost (GTN-P) is the primary international programme concerned with sustained long-term monitoring of permafrost. GTN-P was developed in the 1990s by the International Permafrost Association (IPA) under the Global Terrestrial Observing System (GTOS) as part of the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). The two major components of GTN-P (Essential Climate Variables) are: (a) long-term monitoring of the thermal state of permafrost in an extensive borehole network, the Thermal State of Permafrost - TSP; and (b) monitoring of the Active-layer thickness - ALT. Long-term monitoring of permafrost generates essential baseline information for the assessment of climate change impacts in polar and high mountain regions.

description: HyTEST (Hydro-Terrestrial Earth Systems Testbed) is a multi-year project led by USGS's Water Mission Area that is aimed at modernizing hydrologic modeling workflows. The project's goal is to support both research and operational modelers with an end-to-end open-source, scalable modeling framework. HyTEST aims to implement an approach that addresses the needs of hydrologic modelers related to data storage and delivery, computing infrastructure, tools for data processing and analysis, model evaluation approaches, and training/education. For each of these components, we seek out community-adopted standards, tools, and approaches (such as those promoted by the Pangeo community) that are accessible to any modeler who has funds or cloud credits. We have published a JupyterBook that documents our approaches and how to implement them, and our team actively updates this resource as new data/tools/computing environments are successfully deployed by our team.

Year: 2020

description: epigraHMM provides a comprehensive set of tools to flexibly analyze data from a wide range of bulk epigenomic assays. epigraHMM is optimized for genome-wide analyses and is efficient for the analysis under multi-sample multiple-condition settings, as well as consensus peak calling in multi-sample settings. epigraHMM utilizes modified versions of hidden Markov models that are robust to the diversity of peak profiles and are particularly useful for epigenomic marks that exhibit broad peaks. For multi-condition designs, epigraHMM allows the classification of differential peaks according to the observed differential combinatorial patterns of enrichment.
Three essays on textual analysis and audit quality
Creators: name: Yoon, Yangin
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: This dissertation comprises three essays. The first two apply textual analysis methodologies in the accounting and auditing domain and the last essay investigates materiality as a key audit component. The first essay develops a novel measurement, named management self-efficacy, by analyzing earnings conference call transcripts. This measurement captures managers’ level of judgment about the ability of their company to achieve its goals. This essay provides empirical evidence of the negative association between the level of management self-efficacy and the company’s future financial performance. This result supports the overconfidence and obfuscation arguments. This study also introduces a natural language processing methodology that uses artificial neural networks for dictionary building. The second essay documents the usefulness of the textual analysis of earnings conference calls in identifying accounting misreporting. This essay demonstrates that differences in tone between CEOs and CFOs can predict misstatements in financial statements. When accounting misreporting exists, the negative tone of CFOs during Q&A session increases significantly more than that of the CEOs. This essay documents the empirical evidence regarding narrative tone sensitivities based on a person’s job title and related personal characteristics. The third essay concerns the materiality level, an important aspect of auditing. An external auditor sets a materiality level at an early stage of the auditing process and the subsequent audit procedures and results are directly affected by this level. However, due to the scarcity of archival data, few studies have considered the determinants of the materiality level. This essay provides empirical evidence that both new clients and long-tenured clients have a higher materiality level than other clients. Furthermore, the materiality level is negatively associated with the modified audit opinion when it is a new client.

description: In prokaryotic organisms, the key modulators of transcription initiation are sigma factors, transcription factors and riboswitches. To analyze the family diversity and evolutionary history of these regulators, we developed the package 'erba' and found phylum specific trends on the use of certain type of transcriptional regulators depending on the genome size and the organism's phylogeny.

description: We give an explicit description of the F_{q^i}-rational points on the Fermat curve u^{q-1}+v^{q-1}+w^{q-1}=0 for each i=1,2,3. As a consequence, we observe that for any such point (u,v,w), the product uvw is a cube in F_{q^i}. We also describe the F_{q^2}-rational points on the Fermat surface u^{q-1}+v^{q-1}+w^{q-1}+x^{q-1}=0, and show that the product of the coordinates of any such points is a square.

description: Финансовая отчетность, наравне с другими сферами жизни предприятия, не является статичным явлением. Понятно, что данные в отчетах – это отражение точных метрик бизнеса в соответствии с правилами учета, но учетная политика и бухгалтерские данные могут подвергаться изменениям и корректировкам из-за допущенных ошибок. Для того чтобы эти действия совершались согласно установленным правилам, был разработан и внедрен стандарт МСФО IAS 8 «Учетная политика, изменения в бухгалтерских оценках и ошибки», о работе с которым пойдет речь в настоящей статье.
description: The financial statements are on the level with other spheres of life of the enterprise and are not the static phenomenon. It is clear, that data in reports is a reflection of exact business metrics according to accounting rules, but accounting policies and accounting data can undergo changes and adjustments because of the made mistakes. For these actions to be executed routinely, the International Accounting Standard 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” has been developed and implemented. The present study describes work with this standard.

description: INTRO Single-cell ATACseq enables discoveries of accessible regions in a genome for single cells. Quality control is critical for retaining high-quality cells. Downstream analysis in a cluster wise manner can be cumbersome. Cluster specific peaks can be missed if the cluster is small because peaks are called by merging all the reads from all cells. METHODS We developed an R package to calculate various quality control metrics including Frip score, TSS enrichment score, nucleosome banding score etc, and provide convenient functions for visualization. We developed a Snakemake workflow for automating the downstream analysis. Incorporated Genrich, a tool designed for calling peaks for ATACseq data. Incorporated Presto, a fast implementation of Wilcoxon rank sum test, for identifying differential accessible regions among millions of peaks.

description: Sorting patients by race may seem useful during a time-constrained interview, but we argue that acting on rapid racial assessment can lead to missed diagnoses and inappropriate treatments. Both historical evidence and
contemporary genetic research suggest that “racial profiling” in medicine can lead to serious medical errors. Assessing risk through race is more problematic than its typical depiction in the media and in scholarly literature
