Wavefront Coding and “In-Situ” Deconvolution with a Canonical Optical Processor

description: This is a brief technical discussion of a theoretical basis for extended depth of field imaging in "real-time" (i.e., without computational post-processing for deconvolution). The caveat is that the illumination has to be coherent, and an appropriate filter be mounted at an intermediate plane (i.e., the Fourier transform plane) in a coherent canonical optical processor. This has not been demonstrated.
Update (June 23, 2021): After publishing this discussion paper, I found out that Gerd Hausler had published almost the same idea in 1972. See e.g., G. Hausler, "A method to increase the depth of focus by two step image processing," Optics Communications 6(1), 38-42 (1972). Alternatively, see the first reference link below. I am not sure what is the exact difference between what's presented in this paper and mine, but I think that Hausler's paper discusses a first step of incoherent imaging, followed by filtering in a coherent optical processor. In contrast, my paper discusses an all-coherent refractive-diffractive optical system.
Thanks to Ramzi Zahreddine, who pointed me to his 2015 PhD thesis on a "Hybrid Imaging Method for Extended Depth of Field Microscopy" (see the third link below), where I saw G. Hausler's paper in the list of references. I also subsequently checked Dowski and Cathey's original paper's list of references and found Hausler's paper there too (see the second link below).

description: We investigate the phase structure of non-commutative scalar field theories and find evidence for ordered phases which break translation invariance. A self-consistent one-loop analysis indicates that the transition into these ordered phases is first order. The phase structure and the existence of scaling limits provides an alternative to the structure of counter-terms in determining the renormalizability of non-commutative field theories. On the basis of the existence of a critical point in the closely related planar theory, we argue that there are renormalizable interacting non-commutative scalar field theories in dimensions two and above. We exhibit this renormalization explicitly in the large $N$ limit of a non-commutative O(N) vector model.

description: Multiple object tracking has been a challenging field, mainly due to noisy detection sets and identity switch caused by occlusion and similar appearance among nearby targets. Previous works rely on appearance models built on individual or several selected frames for the comparison of features, but they cannot encode long-term appearance changes caused by pose, viewing angle and lighting conditions. In this work, we propose an adaptive model that learns online a relatively long-term appearance change of each target. The proposed model is compatible with any feature of fixed dimension or their combination, whose learning rates are dynamically controlled by adaptive update and spatial weighting schemes. To handle occlusion and nearby objects sharing similar appearance, we also design cross-matching and re-identification schemes based on the application of the proposed adaptive appearance models. Additionally, the 3D geometry information is effectively incorporated in our formulation for data association. The proposed method outperforms all the state-of-the-art on the MOTChallenge 3D benchmark and achieves real-time computation with only a standard desktop CPU. It has also shown superior performance over the state-of-the-art on the 2D benchmark of MOTChallenge.

description: For college and research libraries, a major 21st century transformation has been the spending shift from print materials to electronic resources. This shift has triggered ongoing conversations about resource allocation at many institutions. Common assumptions that are drawn from these general trends: • Spending on the sciences has increased at the expense of the humanities • Spending on serials has increased at the expense of monographs Overly simple expenditure codes that merely distinguish print from electronic do not allow these assumptions to be tested. This poster will demonstrate how a 2013 revision of expenditure codes used in the library’s acquisitions system provided more granular distinctions among e-resources, thus revealing new trends in collection development. Data visualizations will show the growth in new formats, such as digitized archives and datasets; charts and graphs will also tell a story of analog formats in the 21st century. The poster will engage the audience with questions: • How can libraries categorize spending to allow for comparability over time yet allow for flexibility as new formats emerge? • How can individual libraries devise categories that will be interoperable and comparable with other libraries in collaborative networks? • What other metadata can we bring to bear on our understanding of collection expenditure trends over time?
description: To understand transformations in collection development spending, an organization needs metadata designed for 21st century acquisitions. This poster shares the results of a project that updated expenditure codes to reveal nuances in e-resource and print collection building.

description: We describe a solution to the student-project allocation problem using simulated annealing. The problem involves assigning students to projects, where each student has ranked a fixed number of projects in order of preference. Each project is offered by a specific supervisor (or supervisors), and the goal is to find an optimal matching of students to projects taking into account the students' preferences, the constraint that only one student can be assigned to a given project, and the constraint that supervisors have a maximum workload. We show that when applied to a real dataset from a university physics department, simulated annealing allows the rapid determination of high quality solutions to this allocation problem. The quality of the solution is quantified by a satisfaction metric derived from empirical student survey data. Our approach provides high quality allocations in a matter of minutes that are as good as those found previously by the course organizer using a laborious trial-and-error approach. We investigate how the quality of the allocation is affected by the ratio of the number of projects offered to the number of students and the number of projects ranked by each student. We briefly discuss how our approach can be generalized to include other types of constraints and discuss its potential applicability to wider allocation problems.

description: We study quantum corrections to an inflationary model, which has the attractive feature of being classically scale-invariant. In this model, quadratic gravity plays along a scalar field in such a way that inflation begins near the unstable point of the effective potential and it ends at a stable fixed point, where the scale symmetry is broken and a fundamental mass scale naturally emerges. We compute the one loop corrections to the classical action on the curved background of the model and we report their effects on the classical dynamics with both analytical and numerical methods.

description: Motivated by the rich phase diagram of the high temperature superconductors, we introduce a toy model with three state variables which can be interpreted as two state particles and holes. The Hamiltonian has a term which favors antiferromagnetism and an additional competing interaction which favors bonding between pairs of antiparallel spins mediated by holes. For low concentration of holes the dominant interaction between particles has antiferromagnetic character, leading to an antiferromagnetic phase in the temperature-hole concentration phase diagram, qualitatively similar to the antiferromagnetic phase of doped Mott insulators. For growing concentration of holes antiferromagnetic order is weakend and a phase with a different kind of order mediated by holes appears. This last phase has the form of a dome in the T-hole concentration plane. The whole phase diagram resembles those of some families of high $T_c$ superconductors. We compute the phase diagram in the mean field approximation and characterize the different phase transitions through Monte Carlo simulations.

description: It is shown theoretically that the buckling of the CuO$_{2}$ planes in certain cuprate systems can be explained in terms of an electric field across the planes which originates from different valences of atoms above and below the plane. This field results also in a strong coupling of the Raman-active out-of-phase vibration of the oxygen atoms ($B_{1g}$ mode) to the electronic charge transfer between the two oxygens in the CuO$_{2}$ plane. Consequently, the electric field can be deduced from the Fano-type line shape of the $B_{1g}$ phonon. Using the electric field estimated from the electron-phonon coupling the amplitude of the buckling is calculated and found to be in good agreement with the structural data. Direct experimental support for the idea proposed is obtained in studies of YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{6+x}$ and Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$(Ca$_{1-x}$Y$_{x}$)Cu$_{2}$O$_{8}$ with different oxygen and yttrium doping, respectively, including antiferromagnetic samples. In the latter compound, symmetry breaking by replacing Ca partially by Y leads to an enhancement of the electron-phonon coupling by an order of magnitude.

description: We present a morphological classification of 14,245 radio active galactic nuclei (AGNs) into six types, i.e., typical Fanaroff--Riley Class I / II (FRI/II), FRI/II-like bent-tailed, X-shaped radio galaxy, and ringlike radio galaxy, by designing a convolutional neural network (CNN) based autoencoder, namely MCRGNet, and applying it to a labeled radio galaxy (LRG) sample containing 1442 AGNs and an unlabeled radio galaxy (unLRG) sample containing 14,245 unlabeled AGNs selected from the Best--Heckman sample. We train MCRGNet and implement the classification task by a three-step strategy, i.e., pre-training, fine-tuning, and classification, which combines both unsupervised and supervised learnings. A four-layer dichotomous tree is designed to classify the radio AGNs, which leads to a significantly better performance than the direct six-type classification. On the LRG sample, our MCRGNet achieves a total precision of $\sim 93\%$ and an averaged sensitivity of $\sim 87\%$, which are better than those obtained in previous works. On the unLRG sample, whose labels have been human-inspected, the neural network achieves a total precision of $\sim 80\%$. Also, using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) to calculate the $r$-band absolute magnitude ($M_\mathrm{opt}$) and using the flux densities to calculate the radio luminosity ($L_\mathrm{radio}$), we find that the distributions of the unLRG sources on the $L_\mathrm{radio}$--$M_\mathrm{opt}$ plane do not show an apparent redshift evolution and could confirm with a sufficiently large sample that there could not exist an abrupt separation between FRIs and FRIIs as reported in some previous works.

description: Previous research has demonstrated that, in male rats, the magnitude of contact hypersensitivity (CHS) can be enhanced by morphine treatment. The present experiments test the hypothesis that the mu-opioids morphine, etorphine, and buprenorphine would produce significant sex differences in the magnitude of 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene-induced CHS. During tests conducted over a 192-h period, morphine, etorphine, and buprenorphine administered before elicitation of CHS on the external surface of the ear (pinna) potentiated the CHS response, and the magnitude of this enhancement was significantly greater in females than males. By contrast, morphine had no effect on croton oil-induced irritant contact dermatitis, indicating that morphine's effects on CHS do not generalize to immunologically nonspecific forms of contact dermatitis. Activation of brain mu-opioid receptors is responsible for the effects of morphine on CHS, because intracerebroventricular treatment with the mu-opioid receptor antagonist beta-funaltrexamine blocked morphine potentiation of CHS in females and males. The sex differences in morphine potentiation of CHS appear to be a result of the gonadal hormonal milieu, because castration enhanced the CHS response following vehicle and morphine treatment, whereas ovariectomy significantly attenuated the enhancement of CHS by morphine. Because ovariectomy had no effect on the CHS response following vehicle treatment, the presence of female gonadal hormones may underlie the sex differences in morphine potentiation of CHS in gonadally intact animals. Overall, these results support an increased sensitivity to the modulatory effects of opioids on the CHS response in females that depends on the interaction between gonadal hormones and the central mu-opioid system.

Troglitazone Inhibits Cyclin D1 Expression and Cell Cycling Independently of PPARγ in Normal Mouse Skin Keratinocytes

description: Troglitazone is one of the thiazolidinedione (TZD) class of anti-diabetic drugs and a ligand for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma). Troglitazone and other PPARgamma ligands have been shown to inhibit cell proliferation and induce cell cycle arrest in a variety of cancer cells, and have been considered as potential tumor preventive and tumor therapeutic agents. Little is known, however, about how normal or initiated cells respond to these agents during mouse skin carcinogenesis. We report here that troglitazone and another TZD, ciglitazone, dramatically inhibited mitogen-induced cellular proliferation in normal mouse skin primary keratinocytes and in the C50 keratinocyte cell line. This was accompanied by induction of cell cycle G1 phase arrest and suppression of cyclin D1, cdk4, and cdk2 expression. Troglitazone suppressed cyclin D1 expression at multiple levels. In addition, we demonstrated that PPARgamma was not expressed at functional levels in cultured mouse skin keratinocytes, and that the inhibitory effects of troglitazone on cellular proliferation and cyclin D1 expression in these cells were PPARgamma-independent. Given the important role of keratinocyte proliferation in skin carcinogenesis, our data suggest that TZD may be useful tumor preventive agents in skin.

description: Spectra of magnetoplasma excitations have been investigated in a two-dimensional electron systems in AlAs quantum wells (QWs) of different widths. The magnetoplasma spectrum have been found to change profoundly when the quantum well width became thinner than $5.5$~nm, indicating a drastic change in the conduction electron energy spectrum. The transformation can be interpreted in terms of transition from the in-plane strongly anisotropic $X_x - X_y$ valley occupation to the out-of-plane isotropic $X_z$ valley in the QW plane. Strong enhancement of the cyclotron effective mass over the band value in narrow AlAs QWs is reported.

description: Ordinary doping by electrons (holes) generally means that the Fermi level shifts towards the conduction band (valence band) and that the conductivity of free carriers increases. Recently, however, some peculiar doping characteristics were sporadically recorded in different materials without noting the mechanism: electron doping was observed to cause a portion of the lowest unoccupied band to merge into the valance band, leading to a decrease in conductivity. This behavior we dub as 'anti-doping' was seen in rare-earth nickel oxides SmNiO3, cobalt oxides SrCoO2.5, Li-ion battery materials and even MgO with metal vacancies. We describe the physical origin of anti-doping as well as its inverse problem, the 'design principles' that would enable intelligent search of materials. We find that electron anti-doping is expected in materials having pre-existing trapped holes and is caused by annihilation of such 'hole polarons' via electron doping. This may offer an unconventional way of controlling conductivity.

description: The pure quadratic term of New Massive Gravity in three dimensions admits asymptotically locally flat, rotating black holes. These black holes are characterized by their mass and angular momentum, as well as by a hair of gravitational origin. As in the Myers-Perry solution in dimensions greater than five, there is no upper bound on the angular momentum. We show that, remarkably, the equation for a massless scalar field on this background can be solved in an analytic manner and that the quasinormal frequencies can be found in a closed form. The spectrum is obtained requiring ingoing boundary conditions at the horizon and an asymptotic behavior at spatial infinity that provides a well-defined action principle for the scalar probe. As the angular momentum of the black hole approaches zero, the imaginary part of the quasinormal frequencies tends to minus infinity, migrating to the north pole of the Riemann Sphere and providing infinitely damped modes of high frequency. We show that this is consistent with the fact that the static black hole within this family does not admit quasinormal modes for a massless scalar probe.

Evidence that Anti-Type VII Collagen Antibodies Are Pathogenic and Responsible for the Clinical, Histological, and Immunological Features of Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita

description: Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) is an autoimmune blistering disease characterized by autoantibodies to type VII (anchoring fibril) collagen. Therefore, it is a prototypic autoimmune disease defined by a well-known autoantigen and autoantibody. In this study, we injected hairless immune competent mice with purified immunoglobulin G (IgG) fraction of serum from rabbits immunized with the non-collagenous amino-terminal domain (NC1) of human type VII collagen, the domain known to contain immunodominant epitopes. As a control, identical mice were injected with the IgG fraction of serum from non-immunized rabbits. Mice injected with immune IgG developed subepidermal skin blisters and erosions, IgG deposits at the epidermal-dermal junction of their skin, and circulating anti-NC1 antibodies in their serum-all features reminiscent of patients with EBA. Similar concentrations of control IgG purified from normal rabbits did not induce disease in the mice. These findings strongly suggest that autoantibodies that recognize human type VII collagen in EBA are pathogenic. This murine model, with features similar to the clinical, histological, and immunological features of EBA, will be useful for the fine dissection of immunopathogenic mechanisms in EBA and for the development of new therapeutic interventions.
Effects of dimensionality and anisotropy on the Holstein polaron

description: We apply weak-coupling perturbation theory and strong-coupling perturbation theory to the Holstein molecular crystal model in order to elucidate the effects of anisotropy on polaron properties in D dimensions. The ground state energy is considered as a primary criterion through which to study the effects of anisotropy on the self-trapping transition, the self-trapping line associated with this transition, and the adiabatic critical point. The effects of dimensionality and anisotropy on electron-phonon correlations and polaronic mass enhancement are studied, with particular attention given to the polaron radius and the characteristics of quasi-1D and quasi-2D structures. Perturbative results are confirmed by selected comparisons with variational calculations and quantum Monte Carlo data.

description: We present an innovative approach to the methodology of dynamical modelling, allowing practical reconstruction of the underlying dark matter mass without assuming both the density and anisotropy functions. With this, the mass-anisotropy degeneracy is reduced to simple model inference, incorporating the uncertainties inherent with observational data, statistically circumventing the mass-anisotropy degeneracy in spherical collisionless systems. We also tackle the inadequacy that the Jeans method of moments has on small datasets, with the aid of Generative Adversarial Networks: we leverage the power of artificial intelligence to reconstruct non-parametrically the projected line-of-sight velocity distribution. We show with realistic numerical simulations of dwarf spheroidal galaxies that we can distinguish between competing dark matter distributions and recover the anisotropy and mass profile of the system.

description: The Sr concentration dependence of the structural transition from the orthorhombic into the tetragonal low-temperature phase in rare-earth-doped (R = Nd, Eu) La_{2-x-y}Sr_xR_yCuO_4 has been studied in detail. Independently of the rare earth concentration the transition temperature is strongly reduced at x ~ 0.05. We give a qualitative argument that the effect can be attributed to the Coulomb repulsion between doped carriers. We find the enthalpy jump at the low-temperature transition to scale transition temperature between the high-temperature tetragonal and the orthorhombic phase. This effect can be understood in terms of a Landau expansion.

description: Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) is an autoimmune sub-epidermal blistering disease characterized by autoantibodies to type VII (anchoring fibril) collagen. To date, however, direct evidence for a pathogenic role of human EBA autoantibodies has not been demonstrated. In this study, we affinity-purified anti-type VII collagen antibodies from EBA patients' sera and then injected them into adult hairless immunocompetent mice. Mice injected with EBA autoantibodies developed skin fragility, blisters, erosions, and nail loss on their paws - all features of EBA patients. By clinical, histological, immunological, and ultrastructural parameters, the induced lesions were reminiscent of human EBA. Histology showed bullous lesions with an epidermal-dermal separation. IgG and C3 deposits were observed at the epidermal-dermal junction. All mice had serum antibodies that labeled the dermal side of salt-split human skin like EBA sera. Direct immunogold electron microscopy specifically localized deposits of human IgG to anchoring fibrils. (Fab')(2) fragments generated from EBA autoantibodies did not induce disease. We conclude that EBA human patient autoantibodies cause sub-epidermal blisters and induce EBA skin lesions in mice. These passive transfer studies demonstrate that human EBA autoantibodies are pathogenic. This novel EBA mouse model can be used to further investigate EBA autoimmunity and to develop possible therapies.

description: We measured the angular dependence of the c-axis magnetoresistance rho_c(B) of Bi-2212 irradiated with heavy ions. At temperatures near 68 K the scaling of rho_c(B) with the c-axis magnetic field component B_perp is broken and the in-plane field, B_parallel, affects rho_c. At this temperature, at a specific field B_cr \approx B_Phi/2, magnetoresistance becomes independent of field orientation. This crossing point allows us to estimate the correlation length L of pancake positions along the c axis. We find L/s is about 100 at B=B_cr, where s is the interlayer spacing. This provides evidence of strong enhancement of pancake alignment in the vortex liquid in crystals with columnar defects.

E-cadherin Is an Additional Immunological Target for Pemphigus Autoantibodies

description: Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) and pemphigus vulgaris (PV) are autoimmune blistering diseases characterized by autoantibodies against desmoglein (Dsg)1 and Dsg3, respectively. The role of classical cadherins as immunological targets of pemphigus autoantibodies is unknown. In this study, we tested the reactivity of sera from patients with PF, Fogo Selvagem (FS), and PV by immunoprecipitation coupled with immunoblotting (IP-IB) and ELISA techniques using a baculovirus-expressed ectodomain of E-cadherin. By IP-IB, anti-E-cadherin reactivity was detected in all tested sera of PF (n=13) and FS (n=15) patients, and in 79% of mucocutaneous-type PV patients (n=33), but in none of the mucosal-type PV patients (n=7). By ELISA, anti-E-cadherin IgG was detected in most pemphigus sera that produced strong E-cadherin bands by IP-IB. The immunoreactivity of PF/FS sera with E-cadherin was also demonstrated by IP-IB using human epidermal extracts. However, immunofluorescence staining of A431DE cells (E-cadherin positive, Dsg1 negative) with pemphigus sera showed negative results. Immunoadsorption and competitive ELISA analysis suggest that most of the anti-E-cadherin antibodies cross-react with Dsg1, whereas others may represent independent antibodies that do not cross-react with Dsg1. The functional relevance of these anti-E-cadherin IgG autoantibodies detected in these pemphigus sera remains to be defined.
