description: In the context of survival analysis, data-driven neural network-based methods have been developed to model complex covariate effects. While these methods may provide better predictive performance than regression-based approaches, not all can model time-varying interactions and complex baseline hazards. To address this, we propose Case-Base Neural Networks (CBNNs) as a new approach that combines the case-base sampling framework with flexible neural network architectures. Using a novel sampling scheme and data augmentation to naturally account for censoring, we construct a feed-forward neural network that includes time as an input. CBNNs predict the probability of an event occurring at a given moment to estimate the full hazard function. We compare the performance of CBNNs to regression and neural network-based survival methods in a simulation and three case studies using two time-dependent metrics. First, we examine performance on a simulation involving a complex baseline hazard and time-varying interactions to assess all methods, with CBNN outperforming competitors. Then, we apply all methods to three real data applications, with CBNNs outperforming the competing models in two studies and showing similar performance in the third. Our results highlight the benefit of combining case-base sampling with deep learning to provide a simple and flexible framework for data-driven modeling of single event survival outcomes that estimates time-varying effects and a complex baseline hazard by design.

description: Background:

Each resident during their residency is observed and receives feedback and comments based on their performance at the end of a rotation. Residency training is difficult and demanding, with some learners struggling in their academic performance, leading to remediation, possible dismissal or failure on their licensing exams. A competency-based residency training program’s success depends on its ability to identify residents who are having difficulty and provide them with timely intervention and support.

Summary of work:

In large training programs such as Family medicine, identifying residents at risk of failing oral (SOO) or written (SAMP) certification exams is difficult. Implementing state-of-the-art technologies in Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL) and NLP to create a novel medical residency intervention system would be ideal. Such a system could spot learners struggling academically, so they can be given specific help.  Rotational data from Spring 2018 to Spring 2023 composed of qualitative and quantitative data, was used for the experiment. We made use of several ML algorithms (SVM, Multinomial Naïve Bayes, etc.), a DL algorithm (LSTM) and a Language Model (XLNET) after data preprocessing. Emphasis was laid upon improving the F1 score and 10-fold cross-validation to verify that there was no overfitting. Explainable AI including SHAP and BERTopic was utilized for model interpretation, which allowed the end user (the training program) to understand what factors were important to the model.  

Summary of results:

The champion model SVM achieved an accuracy of 89%, precision of 0.76, recall of 0.74 and an F1 score of 0.74 for the multiclass classification (Pass, fail in SAMP, SOO or Both). This model performed better in comparison to the model that used only qualitative data (F1 of 0.55) or only quantitative data (F1 of 0.63) individually.

Discussion and Conclusion:  

The combined use of qualitative and quantitative data represents a novel approach and has provided better classification results. This research demonstrates the feasibility of an automated system for the early identification of residents at risk of struggling academically. 

Take-home Message:

AI offers large training programs the ability to more easily identify residents at risk, earlier in their residency training.

description: Electrons exposed to a two-dimensional (2D) periodic potential and a uniform, perpendicular magnetic field exhibit a fractal, self-similar energy spectrum known as the Hofstadter butterfly. Recently, related high-temperature quantum oscillations (Brown-Zak oscillations) were discovered in graphene moire systems, whose origin lies in the repetitive occurrence of extended minibands/magnetic Bloch states at rational fractions of magnetic flux per unit cell giving rise to an increase in band conductivity. In this work, we report on the experimental observation of band conductivity oscillations in an electrostatically defined and gate-tunable graphene superlattice, which are governed both by the internal structure of the Hofstadter butterfly (Brown-Zak oscillations) and by a commensurability relation between the cyclotron radius of electrons and the superlattice period (Weiss oscillations). We obtain a complete, unified description of band conductivity oscillations in two-dimensional superlattices, yielding a detailed match between theory and experiment. Experiments in a tunable graphene superlattice show that the unusual 1/B periodic resistance oscillations at high temperatures in the energy spectrum of electrons in a 2D periodic potential, known as the Hofstadter butterfly, coexist with oscillations due to commensurability between the electron cyclotron radius and the superlattice's period.

description: Ultrafast X-ray diffraction is used to quantify the transport of energy in laser-excited nanoscale gold-nickel (Au-Ni) bilayers. Electron transport and efficient electron-phonon coupling in Ni convert the laser-deposited energy in the conduction electrons within a few picoseconds into a strong non-equilibrium between hot Ni and cold Au phonons at the bilayer interface. Modeling of the subsequent equilibration dynamics within various two-temperature models confirms that for ultrathin Au films, the thermal transport is dominated by phonons instead of conduction electrons because of the weak electron-phonon coupling in Au.

description: This thesis explores why certain men are drawn to three specific Manosphere forums: /r/TheRedPill, /r/MGTOW, and Incels.co. I begin by acknowledging that the men on these forums are genuinely suffering as a result of the pressures of performing masculinity in neoliberal societies. The confluence of these two factors drives certain men to seek alternative discourses to both explain their situation and offer solutions to it. To explore this, I construct a theoretical framework that synthesises the work of Ty Solomon and Sara Ahmed, that outlines the relationship between discourse, affect, and emotion. This framework allows me to understand how the discourses on all three groups translate men’s affect into recognisable emotional signifiers and, in doing so, construct men’s affective experiences as experiences of loss – specifically a loss control, masculine identity, and meaning. At the same time, each discourse offers these men an encounter with control over their lives and women, masculine identity, and a sense of meaning which allows them to understand their circumstances and the world around them. Each discourse therefore becomes a site of strong affective investment, both attracting men to the forums and keeping them there. None of these discourses, however, successfully delivers on their promises of wholeness. Instead, these men are left to oscillate between wholeness and lack, striving to regain control, identity, and meaning but never quite getting there. But herein lies hope. This oscillation means these men are not securely held within the logic of these discourses. Instead, there is a chance they might divest from them, and seek another alternative. The promotion of alternative discourses that do not work on a violent and misogynistic basis and are instead founded on positive feminist values can thus offer a more sustainable and less harmful alternative to these men.

description: We give a general proof showing that once irreversible processes are involved, a class of projective measurements is impossible. Applying this no-go result to the Schroedinger's cat paradox implies that if something is claimed to be a real Schroedinger's cat, there will be no measurable difference between it and a trivial classical mixture of ordinary cats in any physically implementable process, otherwise raising the dead will become reality. Other similar macroscopic quantum superpositions cannot be observed either due to the lack of non-commuting measurement bases. Our proof does not involve any quantum interpretation theory and hypothesis.

Vortex Shedding from a Microsphere Oscillating in Superfluid ⁴He at mK Temperatures and from a Laser Beam Moving in a Bose–Einstein Condensate

subject: 530 Physik

description: Turbulent drag of an oscillating microsphere that is levitating in superfluid ⁴He at mK temperatures, is unstable slightly above a critical velocity amplitude vc. The lifetime τ of the turbulent state is determined by the number n of vortices shed per half-period. It is found that this number is identical to the superfluid Reynolds number. The possibility of moving a levitating sphere through superfluid ³He at microkelvin temperatures is considered. A laser beam moving through a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) (as observed by other authors) also produces vortices in the BEC. In particular, in either case, a linear dependence of the shedding frequency fv on Δv=v−vc is observed, where v is the velocity amplitude of the sphere or the constant velocity of the laser beam above vc for the onset of turbulent flow: fv=aΔv, where the coefficient a is proportional to the oscillation frequency ω above some characteristic frequency ωk and assumes a finite value for steady motion ω→0. A relation between the superfluid Reynolds number and the superfluid Strouhal number is presented that is different from classical turbulence.

description: The general weighted cumulative residual extropy (GWCRJ) and general weighted cumulative past extropy (GWCPJ) are introduced in this paper. There are some results in relation to GWCPJ and GWCRJ. We take into account GWCRJ-based uncertainty measures for the minimal ranked set sampling technique with unequal samples (minRSSU). Additionally, we take into account GWCPJ-based uncertainty measures for the maximum ranked set sampling technique with unequal samples (maxRSSU). Stochastic comparison for Simple random sampling (SRS) is discussed. We looked at the monotone properties of minRSSU and maxRSSU as well as stochastic comparison. Finally, two empirical estimators of GWCPJ and GWCRJ are obtained.

description: We consider a population organised hierarchically with respect to size in such a way that the growth rate of each individual depends only on the presence of larger individuals. As a concrete example one might think of a forest, in which the incidence of light on a tree (and hence how fast it grows) is affected by shading of taller trees. The model is formulated as a delay equation, more specifically a scalar renewal equation, for the population birth rate. After discussing the well-posedness of the model, we analyse how many stationary birth rates the equation can have in terms of the functional parameters of the model. In particular we show that, under reasonable and rather general assumptions, only one stationary birth rate can exist besides the trivial one (associated to the state in which there are no individuals and the population birth rate is zero). We give conditions for this non-trivial stationary birth rate to exist and we analyse its stability using the principle of linearised stability for delay equations. Finally we relate the results to an alternative formulation of the model taking the form of a quasilinear partial differential equation for the population size-density.

description: In this paper, we consider the inverse problem of determining some coefficients within a coupled nonlinear parabolic system, through boundary observation of its non-negative solutions. In the physical setup, the non-negative solutions represent certain probability densities in different contexts. We innovate the successive linearisation method by further developing a high-order variation scheme which can both ensure the positivity of the solutions and effectively tackle the nonlinear inverse problem. This enables us to establish several novel unique identifiability results for the inverse problem in a rather general setup. For a theoretical perspective, our study addresses an important topic in PDE analysis on how to characterise the function spaces generated by the products of non-positive solutions of parabolic PDEs. As a typical and practically interesting application, we apply our general results to inverse problems for ecological population models, where the positive solutions signify the population densities.

description: From the background of microwave-optomechanical experiments involving carbon nanotubes, the optimization of superconducting coplanar waveguide resonator devices is discussed. Two devices, one with unmodified geometry compared to previous work and one integrating several improvements, are lithographically built up step-by-step. After each step, the low-temperature GHz transmission properties are retested. This allows to identify the impact of the fabrication and the geometry modification on the device properties. In addition, simplified circuit geometries are modeled numerically, confirming the experimental results and providing further insights for optimization.

description: Machine learning based approaches are being increasingly used for designing decoders for next generation communication systems. One widely used framework is neural belief propagation (NBP), which unfolds the belief propagation (BP) iterations into a deep neural network and the parameters are trained in a data-driven manner. NBP decoders have been shown to improve upon classical decoding algorithms. In this paper, we investigate the generalization capabilities of NBP decoders. Specifically, the generalization gap of a decoder is the difference between empirical and expected bit-error-rate(s). We present new theoretical results which bound this gap and show the dependence on the decoder complexity, in terms of code parameters (blocklength, message length, variable/check node degrees), decoding iterations, and the training dataset size. Results are presented for both regular and irregular parity-check matrices. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first set of theoretical results on generalization performance of neural network based decoders. We present experimental results to show the dependence of generalization gap on the training dataset size, and decoding iterations for different codes.

description: The process of quantification is a powerful development shaping many domains of life today. In the area of education, for example, performance measurement, testing and ranking have become common tools of governance. Quantification is not a neutral way of describing society, but a process of valorisation. It has three sociologically relevant effects. Firstly, the availability of quantitative data strengthens social comparisons. Secondly, quantitative measurement of social aspects fosters expanded competition. Thirdly, there is a trend towards increased social hierarchisation because representations such as tables, graphs, lists or scores ultimately transform qualitative differences into quantitative inequalities. This paper unfolds the argument that quantitative ascriptions of status ranks change our order of inequality because things that previously could not be compared with each other are made comparable. Moreover, it asks who bears the power of nomination in the regime of numbers and which forms of contestation might be available.

Holotype: Ψ, NW Bulgaria, Stara Planina Mts., Petrokhan village (43°07'N, 23°07'E), old beech forest (Fagion sylvaticae), 1,400 m a.s.l., April 20, 2005. Paratypes, 3 ΨΨ, same data as holotype.
Description (Female)
Dorsal idiosoma (Fig. 3). Dorsal shield large, length 790–845 µm, width 570–600 µm, oval to widely oval (length/width 1.38–1.42), with inconspicuous reticulation and fine granulation on surface, and 30 pairs of simple needle-like setae. Medial and posterior dorsal setae relatively short (j 5 28–34 µm, J5 40–50 µm), some anterolateral setae distinctly longer (70–85 µm). All dorsal pores normally formed, not conspicuously enlarged.
Ventral idiosoma (Fig. 4). Presternal shields present, subtrapezoidal, free, strongly sclerotized, and without sculpture. Sternal shield relatively large (length 163–177 µm), approximately subequal in length and width, concave posteriorly, with punctiform reticulate sculptural pattern, and 4 pairs of setae and 3 pairs of pores. Metasternal shields, both with a seta and pore, fused to posterolateral corners of sternal shield. Genital shield relatively short and wide (length 122–140 µm), genital pores positioned outside the shield. Ventri-anal shield subcordate, subequal in length and width (length 325–343 µm, width 317–343 µm, length/width 0.96– 1.07), with punctate-reticulate sculpture and 2 pairs of pre-anal setae. Posterior terminal section of peritrematal shield truncate and fused to exopodal shield IV; a hypertrophied pore-like structure present close to stigma. Exopodal shield III free and abutting the peritrematal shield and exopodal IV. Area between peritrematal shield and anterolateral corner of ventri-anal shield narrow and bearing 2 small and subequal sclerites. Metapodal shields separate, distinctly elongate and abutting the anterolateral margins of ventri-anal shield. Lateral and opisthogastric cuticle with 11 pairs of setae.
Gnathosoma. Epistome subtriangular, very finely denticulate on lateral margins, distal projection narrow and bluntly pointed (Fig. 9).
Legs. Tarsus II with one massive spur-like seta.
Notes
The presence of four setae on the sternal shield, the fusion of the peritrematal shields with exopodals IV, well developed presternals, as well as 2 pairs of pre-anal setae on the ventri-anal shield and size of idiosoma are good diagnostic characters for this new species.
Etymology
This new species is named in honour of Maria Lourdes Moraza, who has contributed in a substantial way to the knowledge of the pachylaelapid mites of Europe.

description: This paper uses innovative democratic forums carried out in Germany, Norway, and the United Kingdom to examine people’s ideas about welfare-state priorities and future prospects. We use a moral economy framework in the context of regime differences and the move towards neo-liberalism across Europe. Broadly speaking, attitudes reflect regime differences, with distinctive emphasis on reciprocity and the value of work in Germany, inclusion and equality in Norway, and individual responsibility and the work-ethic in the UK. Neo-liberal market-centred ideas appear to have made little headway in regard to popular attitudes, except in the already liberal-leaning UK. There is also a striking assumption by UK participants that welfare is threatened externally by immigrants who take jobs from established workers and internally by the work-shy who undermine the work-ethic. A key role of the welfare state is repressive rather than enabling: to protect against threats to well-being rather than provide benefits for citizens. UK participants also anticipate major decline in state provision. In all three countries there is strong support for continuing and expanding social investment policies, but for different reasons: to enable contribution in Germany, to promote equality and mobility in Norway, and to facilitate self-responsibility in the UK.

description: To realize the very objective of spintronics, namely the development of ultra-high frequency and energy-efficient electronic devices, an ultrafast and scalable approach to switch magnetic bits is required. Magnetization switching with spin currents generated by the spin-orbit interaction at ferromagnetic/non-magnetic interfaces is one of such scalable approaches, where the ultimate switching speed is limited by the Larmor precession frequency. Understanding the magnetization precession dynamics induced by spin-orbit torques (SOTs) is therefore of great importance. Here we demonstrate generation of ultrashort SOT pulses that excite Larmor precession at an epitaxial Fe/GaAs interface by converting femtosecond laser pulses into high-amplitude current pulses in an electrically biased p-i-n photodiode. We control the polarity, amplitude, and duration of the current pulses and, most importantly, also their propagation direction with respect to the crystal orientation. The SOT origin of the excited Larmor precession was revealed by a detailed analysis of the precession phase and amplitude at different experimental conditions.
