description: In this paper, we consider the problem of testing properties of joint distributions under the Conditional Sampling framework. In the standard sampling model, the sample complexity of testing properties of joint distributions is exponential in the dimension, resulting in inefficient algorithms for practical use. While recent results achieve efficient algorithms for product distributions with significantly smaller sample complexity, no efficient algorithm is expected when the marginals are not independent. We initialize the study of conditional sampling in the multidimensional setting. We propose a subcube conditional sampling model where the tester can condition on an (adaptively) chosen subcube of the domain. Due to its simplicity, this model is potentially implementable in many practical applications, particularly when the distribution is a joint distribution over $Σ^n$ for some set $Σ$. We present algorithms for various fundamental properties of distributions in the subcube-conditioning model and prove that the sample complexity is polynomial in the dimension $n$ (and not exponential as in the traditional model). We present an algorithm for testing identity to a known distribution using $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}(n^2)$-subcube-conditional samples, an algorithm for testing identity between two unknown distributions using $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}(n^5)$-subcube-conditional samples and an algorithm for testing identity to a product distribution using $tilde{\mathcal{O}}(n^5)$-subcube-conditional samples. The central concept of our technique involves an elegant chain rule which can be proved using basic techniques of probability theory yet powerful enough to avoid the curse of dimensionality.

description: We introduce the concept of isolated factorizations of an element of a commutative monoid and study its properties. We give several bounds for the number of isolated factorizations of simplicial affine semigroups and numerical semigroups. We also generalize $α$-rectangular numerical semigroups to the context of simplicial affine semigroups and study their isolated factorizations. As a consequence of our results, we characterize those complete intersection simplicial affine semigroups with only one Betti minimal element in several ways. Moreover, we define Betti sorted and Betti divisible simplicial affine semigroups and characterize them in terms of gluings and their minimal presentations. Finally, we determine all the Betti divisible numerical semigroups, which turn out to be those numerical semigroups that are free for any arrangement of their minimal generators.

description: Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) is the most widely used process for generating entangled photon pairs. In SPDC, a pump photon interacts with a nonlinear optical crystal and splits into two entangled photons called the signal and the idler photons. The SPDC process has been studied extensively in the last few decades for various pump and crystal configurations, and the entangled photon pairs produced by SPDC have been used in numerous experimental studies on quantum entanglement and entanglement-based real-world quantum-information applications. In this tutorial article, we present a thorough study of phase matching in $β$-barium borate (BBO) crystals for spontaneous parametric down-conversion and thereby also investigate the generation of entangled photons in such crystals. First, we present a theoretical derivation of two-photon wavefunction produced by SPDC in the frequency and transverse momentum bases. We then discuss in detail the effects due to various crystal and pump parameters including the length of the crystal, the angle between the optic axis and the pump propagation direction, the pump incidence angle on the crystal surface, the refraction at the crystal surfaces, and the pump propagation direction inside the crystal. These effects are extremely relevant in experimental situations. We then present our numerical and experimental results in order to illustrate how various experimental parameters affect the phase matching and thus the generation of entangled photons. Finally, using the two-photon wavefunction in the transverse wave-vector basis, we show how to derive the two-photon wavefunction in the OAM basis and thereby calculate the two-photon angular Schmidt spectrum. We expect this article to be useful for researchers working in various capacities with entangled photons generated by SPDC in BBO crystals.

description: Cryptographic algorithms have been used not only to create robust ciphertexts but also to generate cryptograms that, contrary to the classic goal of cryptography, are meant to be broken. These cryptograms, generally called puzzles, require the use of a certain amount of resources to be solved, hence introducing a cost that is often regarded as a time delay---though it could involve other metrics as well, such as bandwidth. These powerful features have made puzzles the core of many security protocols, acquiring increasing importance in the IT security landscape. The concept of a puzzle has subsequently been extended to other types of schemes that do not use cryptographic functions, such as CAPTCHAs, which are used to discriminate humans from machines. Overall, puzzles have experienced a renewed interest with the advent of Bitcoin, which uses a CPU-intensive puzzle as proof of work. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive study of the most important puzzle construction schemes available in the literature, categorizing them according to several attributes, such as resource type, verification type, and applications. We have redefined the term puzzle by collecting and integrating the scattered notions used in different works, to cover all the existing applications. Moreover, we provide an overview of the possible applications, identifying key requirements and different design approaches. Finally, we highlight the features and limitations of each approach, providing a useful guide for the future development of new puzzle schemes.

Assessment of the performance of an ATP based rapid bacterial indicator test on potable water samples.
Creators: name: Foulstone, Phoebe
Publisher: name: Lancaster University

description: Introduction: There is an increasing need for more rapid detection methods for drinking water supplies; especially in developing areas. Hygiena International Ltd are a research and development company which have developed an ATP based technology called the MicroSnap (MS) system. MS is currently used in the food industries for the enumeration of bacteria in food samples. The purpose of this study was to determine whether this system could be applicable to the drinking water sector, by investigating the sensitivity and specificity of the product. Methods and Results: There are four MicroSnap devices, MS Total count, Enterobacteriaceae (EB), Coliform, and E. coli. All four systems were analysed using pure bacterial cultures, as positive and negative control strains, to determine if the systems produced accurate and consistent results. Throughout initial testing, MS E. coli consistently produced relative light units (RLU) which were an underestimation of the bacterial load in the presented samples. These results formed the hypothesis that the lytic agent (extractant) in the detection devices was only allowing for a low percentage of bacterial cell lysis. The poor cell lysis meant that the detectable biomarker; β-Glucuronidase, was unlikely to be freed from cells in high enough numbers to be correctly quantifiable by the MS E. coli detection system. Therefore, the original extractant was compared to one altered by Hygiena using plate count methods, and within the MS system. The results gained through these tests showed that the new extractant increased the percentage of cell lysis occurring and thus when analysed within the system, produced higher RLU results. Conclusion: MS E. coli demonstrated that it is not yet applicable in the water sector as the WHO guidelines state that detection method must detect down to 1 CFU per 100ml of water. This investigation found that the lower detection limit for the MS system was around 101 and 102 CFU per ml of water. In order to increase the sensitivity two alterations to the system have been proposed to Hygiena International Ltd. With these suggestions, the system could reduce the current time taken to detect bacteria using traditional methods, down to 7 hours.

description: The product monomial crystal was defined by Kamnitzer, Tingley, Webster, Weekes, and Yacobi for any semisimple simply-laced Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, and depends on a collection of parameters $\mathbf{R}$. We show that a family of truncations of this crystal are Demazure crystals, and give a Demazure-type formula for the character of each truncation, and the crystal itself. This character formula shows that the product monomial crystal is the crystal of a generalised Demazure module, as defined by Lakshmibai, Littelmann and Magyar. In type $A$, we show the product monomial crystal is the crystal of a generalised Schur module associated to a column-convex diagram depending on $\mathbf{R}$.

description: In confirmatory clinical trials, it has been proposed to use a simple iterative graphical approach to construct and perform intersection hypotheses tests with a weighted Bonferroni-type procedure to control type I errors in the strong sense. Given Phase II study results or other prior knowledge, it is usually of main interest to find the optimal graph that maximizes a certain objective function in a future Phase III study. In this article, we evaluate the performance of two existing derivative-free constrained methods, and further propose a deep learning enhanced optimization framework. Our method numerically approximates the objective function via feedforward neural networks (FNNs) and then performs optimization with available gradient information. It can be constrained so that some features of the testing procedure are held fixed while optimizing over other features. Simulation studies show that our FNN-based approach has a better balance between robustness and time efficiency than some existing derivative-free constrained optimization algorithms. Compared to the traditional stochastic search method, our optimizer has moderate multiplicity adjusted power gain when the number of hypotheses is relatively large. We further apply it to a case study to illustrate how to optimize a multiple testing procedure with respect to a specific study objective.

Molecular genetics of the long QT syndrome

description: To identify genes involved in cardiac arrhythmia, families with autosomal dominant long QT syndrome (LQT) were investigated. LQT is a disorder that predisposes otherwise healthy individuals to syncope, seizures and sudden death from a ventricular tachyarrhythmia, torsade de pointes. In 1991, our laboratory identified linkage of LQT1 to chromosome 11p15.5. The identification of novel chromosome 11p15.5 polymorphic markers facilitated construction of a refined genetic map and confined LQT1 to a ~3 centimorgan region. Physical mapping studies identified an NruI restriction fragment of ~700 kilobases in which the LQT1 gene is located. Genetic analyses of additional LQT families demonstrated that LQT is a heterogeneous disorder. Two of these loci have been mapped to chromosomes 7 (LQT2) and 3 (LQT3). The myocellular hypothesis of LQT suggests that cardiac ion channels and regulators of ion channels are candidates for this disorder. To investigate this hypothesis, several K+ channel genes were isolated and mapped to chromosomes 1, 12 and 19. Genetic and physical mapping of a putative K+ channel, the human ether-a-go-go related gene (HERG), localized this gene to chromosome 7q35-36 near LQT2. Heterologous expression studies defined HERG as the alpha-subunit of the rapidly activating, delayed rectifier K+ current (IKr) in cardiac myocytes. HERG mutations were identified in six LQT families including two intragenic deletions, one splice-donor mutation, and three missense mutations. Northern analyses demonstrated that HERG was strongly expressed in cardiac tissue. To determine the effect of these mutations on HERG function, mutant constructs were expressed singly and in combination with wild-type HERG (WT-HERG). The deletion mutants failed to express functional channels and did not interact with WT-HERG. By contrast, the point mutants interact with WT-HERG and suppress IKr]by a dominant-negative mechanism. These data demonstrate that LQT2 results from mutations in HERG, define HERG as the major component of IKr and provide a mechanistic link between inherited and acquired forms of LQT.

description: In the problem of composite hypothesis testing, identifying the potential uniformly most powerful (UMP) unbiased test is of great interest. Beyond typical hypothesis settings with exponential family, it is usually challenging to prove the existence and further construct such UMP unbiased tests with finite sample size. For example in the COVID-19 pandemic with limited previous assumptions on the treatment for investigation and the standard of care, adaptive clinical trials are appealing due to ethical considerations, and the ability to accommodate uncertainty while conducting the trial. Although several methods have been proposed to control type I error rates, how to find a more powerful hypothesis testing strategy is still an open question. Motivated by this problem, we propose an automatic framework of constructing test statistics and corresponding critical values via machine learning methods to enhance power in a finite sample. In this article, we particularly illustrate the performance using Deep Neural Networks (DNN) and discuss its advantages. Simulations and two case studies of adaptive designs demonstrate that our method is automatic, general and pre-specified to construct statistics with satisfactory power in finite-sample. Supplemental materials are available online including R code and an R shiny app.
Effects of summer activites on academic success

description: During the school year, learning occurs at virtually the same rate for all students, regardless of factors such as socio-economic status (SES). There are, however, differences in retention over the summer months based on a variety of factors. This study compared students involved in enriching summer activities during the summer to those  who were not, in terms of their academic success, measured by 1) the California Achievement Test (CAT) standardized test scores in reading and math; 2) grade retention; and 3) high school graduation rates.  OLS (Ordinary Least Squares) regression was used to test whether students involved in enriching activities during one summer (or multiple summers) performed better on their CATs than those who were not. This study did not demonstrate consistent support for student involvement with summer activities, but involvement in structured summer programs was found to help decrease summer learning loss. Specifically, involvement in summer camp had consistent positive effects on all forms of academic  success.  Logistic regression was performed to test the hypotheses that being involved in enriching activities would reduce the likelihood of being held back a grade, and would also increase a student's likeliness to graduate from high school. Consistent with the literature, we found that the higher the students' SES, the less likely they were to be held  back a grade, and students who attended summer school were more likely to graduate from high school. Contrary to expectations, students coming from single parent households were more likely to graduate from high school. One finding that was unclear and deserves greater attention was that students who took books home from the library  were less likely to graduate from high school.  Clearly, more research is needed to understand factors related to student success.  Several lines of inquiry remain. For instance, it would be beneficial to examine the quality and quantity of the student's involvement in summer activities in order to understand what contributes to, or hinders, the academic success of students.

description: Network science can offer fundamental insights into the structural and functional properties of complex systems. For example, it is widely known that neuronal circuits tend to organize into basic functional topological modules, called "network motifs". In this article we show that network science tools can be successfully applied also to the study of artificial neural networks operating according to self-organizing (learning) principles. In particular, we study the emergence of network motifs in multi-layer perceptrons, whose initial connectivity is defined as a stack of fully-connected, bipartite graphs. Our simulations show that the final network topology is primarily shaped by learning dynamics, but can be strongly biased by choosing appropriate weight initialization schemes. Overall, our results suggest that non-trivial initialization strategies can make learning more effective by promoting the development of useful network motifs, which are often surprisingly consistent with those observed in general transduction networks.

description: Extensive paleomagnetic and geologic investigation of the Needles Range Formation in southwestern Utah indicates there are three regional ash-flow tuff members: the Cottonwood Wash Tuff, the Wah Wah Springs Tuff, and the Lund Tuff. The paleomagnetic direction of the Wah Wah Springs Tuff is well defined with a declination of 181 and an inclination of -35. The other two regional tuffs have a less well defined normal magnetic direction. Local Needles Range Formation ash-flow tuffs are found in the area of the Sevier Plateau and at the WahWah Springs type section. The outcrop extent of the Formation is nearly a rectangle with dimensions 140 km north-south by 280 km east-west cen­ tered in southwestern Utah and extending 100 km into Nevada.  Paleomagnetic and geologic techniques indicate a local Needles Range Ash-flow Tuff in the southern Sevier Plateau underwent auto-clastic brecciation subsequent to deposition and compaction. Limited downslope flowage is suggested as a possible brecciating mechanism.  Extensive geologic and paleomagnetic investigation in the area of Clear Creek between the towns of Sevier and Cove Fort in central Utah reveal the Wah Wah Springs Tuff is within the Bullion Canyon Volcanics in that area. The Wah Wah Springs Tuff is preceeded by a local andesite flow and succeeded by a number of andesitic to rhyolitic flows and ash-flow tuffs, probably having their origin in the Tushar Mountains to the south. Previously unmapped faulting in this area is the site of partial release of stress caused by eastward tilting of the Pavant Range to the north and the Tushar Mountains to the south.

description: A descriptive correlation study was conducted with 110 postoperative coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients at the Naval Regional Medical Center, San Diego, California.  The purpose of the research project was to determine the occurrence of depression in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients who were up to 12-months post surgery, establish a common time of occurrence and identify any relationships of variables with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and depression.  A mail survey was utilized an questionnaire packets were mailed simultaneously to subject.  Evidence of depression was based on scores from the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale, while relationships between variables were identified from information obtained from a personal profile questionnaire.  Statistical analysis revealed 18.6% of the sample clinically depressed.  The use of an exclusive military sample somewhat limited the comparison of the findings to the national depression occurrence of 17.3% of the general population.  However, there was a positive finding of higher depression scores within the first one to three months following CABG surgery.  Furthermore, statistically significant relationships were found between satisfaction with surgical outcome, felling as well as expected and the number of postoperative complications, with findings of depression in CABG patients.

description: Introduction: Approximately 2 million people in the US have SCT per the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI; 2010). Sickle cell trait is a heterozygous carrier state and it is not a disease. People with SCT usually do not exhibit signs and symptoms of SCD (CDC, 2017). Sickle cell trait carriers live normal healthy lives, but they can pass the trait on to their offspring.Background & Significant: African Americans of reproductive age are unaware of their sickle cell trait status. The lack of knowledge about SCT carrier status can lead to a transfer of SCT to offspring, risk of having a child with SCD, and lack of knowledge regarding increased risk for some health conditions. The aim of this study was to increase the intention of African Americans to obtain screening to know their sickle cell carrier status.Purpose of Project: The purpose of this project was to determine if an educational intervention will increase knowledge and screening in African Americans of reproductive age.Methods: A quasi-experimental research study with a 12 item pre-post-post questionnaire. The questionnaire included the 10-item sickle cell trait knowledge questionnaire (SCTKQ) with 2 additional question of intent to screen taken at 3 different time points: pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention and 2-weeks post-intervention. The intervention is a 40 minutes educational session.Results: The result of this project indicated that there was an increase in baseline knowledge after the implementation of an educational seminar. Although the mean score was slightly less 2 weeks post-intervention compared to immediately after the intervention, it remained statistically significant; immediate post-intervention (P = 0.002), 2-week post-intervention (P = 0.001). The result of intention to obtain screening by participants did not show any statistical significance pre and post-intervention (P= 0.346), but there was a slight increase in the number of people who intended to obtain screen; pre-intervention (N=19), immediate and 2-week post-intervention (N= 26). Lastly, more participants reported taking action towards obtaining screening (N=26), compared to those who reported not taking any action (N=6).Implication to Practice: Healthcare providers can help bridge the gap in lack of knowledge and awareness of sickle cell status among African Americans of reproductive age through education, screening, and making appropriate referrals. Awareness, management, and prevention of these potential health complications is important, but it is crucial to stress the reproductive health implications for persons who are SCT carriers. Healthcare providers should encourage individuals, regardless of their ethnicity, to know their SCT status.
Critical history of American rock journalism in popular magazines, 1955-1976
Creators: name: Proctor, David Paul
Publisher: name: University of Utah

Subjects: Rock music

Rock and roll

description: This thesis is a critical documentation of the writing done about rock music from 1955-1976 in popular American magazines.  The premises were 1) that rock music had a significant impact on American culture since its beginning in the mid-1950s and that this impact continued through the 1960s, and the social and political upheavals of that era, to the present day; and 2) that any social phenomenon of this magnitude deserves accurate documentation by the press and that since rock music is also an art form (albeit a folk or popular art), it deserved to be critiqued as such.  Only a few of the seventeen magazines chosen for this study agreed with these premises.

description: This descriptive study (1) identified and compared the stress levels and coping mechanisms of 24 parents of pediatric heart transplant patients and pediatric patients with chronic heart disease and, (2) identified ways health care providers can assist these parents in the coping process. Both groups of parents frequently reported stress involving the family. There was no difference between the groups concerning stress. Increased stress was found in families from rural areas and families with adolescents. Parents most frequently utilized coping mechanisms involving the family, religion, and talking with others. No difference was found between the two groups regarding their coping mechanisms. Six themes were identified how health care providers can assist these families in the coping process including Communication, Empathy, Information, Listens/Trust, Availability, and Honesty. Parents also reported the need for more information, consistent health care providers, emotional support, and talking with other parents in a similar situation.

description: The dia-PASEF technology uses ion mobility separation to reduce signal interferences and increase sensitivity in proteomic experiments. Here we present a two-dimensional peak-picking algorithm and generation of optimized spectral libraries, as well as take advantage of neural network-based processing of dia-PASEF data. Our computational platform boosts proteomic depth by up to 83% compared to previous work, and is specifically beneficial for fast proteomic experiments and those with low sample amounts. It quantifies over 5300 proteins in single injections recorded at 200 samples per day throughput using Evosep One chromatography system on a timsTOF Pro mass spectrometer and almost 9000 proteins in single injections recorded with a 93-min nanoflow gradient on timsTOF Pro 2, from 200 ng of HeLa peptides. A user-friendly implementation is provided through the incorporation of the algorithms in the DIA-NN software and by the FragPipe workflow for spectral library generation.

Ash flotation of dispersed oil droplets : a model system for bituman flotation from tar sand

description: The recovery of bitumen from tar sand tailings is an important problem that must be solved in order to achieve both economic and environmental benefits. Some bitumen is lost to the tailings as a fine dispersion of bitumen droplets which should be recovered. The recovery of such bitumen droplets from tar sand tailings is, though somewhat complex, a typical example of the general problem of oil separation from water. Air sparged hydrocyclone (ASH) flotation is a promising technology for the recovery of such bitumen. The high capacity, directed fluid flow, and small air bubbles are characteristic of the ASH technology and make it an interesting process alternative.  In order to begin to evaluate the potential of ASH flotation in tar sand processing a simple system containing only dispersed oil, without solids, was examined with respect to both surface chemistry considerations and ASH operation. Two fundamental surface chemistry aspects of the problem were considered:  1. the necessary conditions, with respect to surfactant concentration (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS), for oil filming at the air bubble surface; and;  2. the emulsion stability, which was determined by the kinetics of gravity separation of the oil droplets, and correlated with the zeta potential and size distribution of the dispersed oil.  Of particular significance in this phase of the thesis research was the demonstration for the first time that the spreading coefficient for oil at the air/water interface goes through a maximum with respect to the SDS concentration and that both the extent and rate of oil filming is greatest under these conditions. The dispersed oil was floated in the ASH and the effects of additives and flow conditions on the separation efficiency were studied.  Oil recovery from ASH flotation was found to be dependent on the surface chemistry and a maximum in separation efficiency was observed at the best conditions for air bubble filming by oil and at conditions for which the dispersed oil is at its isoelectric point. The appropriate operating conditions for the ASH flotation system were found to be dependent upon the desired quality of the underflow water.
