Research Methods/ Statistical Methods

description: Per capita figures in general permit an assessment of changes in economic quantities and values over time, unobscured by trends in population size. Use of total population as the divisor implicitly assumes that each member of the population has equal importance as a consumer or spender, or that the relative distribution of the various groups in the population remains basically unchanged. For many items, such an assumption can be made, but for others it is not acceptable. Apparel expenditures are a case in point. These expenditures differ markedly by age and sex. And the age-sex composition of the population has changed and is changing. This article presents as a population divisor for apparel expenditures a new series called "clothing expenditure units" and contrasts the results of its use with the traditional approach. Calculation of the new series entailed the application of weights consisting of clothing expenditure relatives by age and sex to population estimates by age and sex. The procedure, including assumptions and source material, is described in detail. For valuable assistance in the development of the conceptual basis of the study and in preparation of the research, the author is indebted to Frank Lowenstein, head of the Cotton and Other Fibers Section of the Statistical and Historical Research Branch, Agricultural Economics Division, AMS.

description: Interactive lenses are useful tools for supporting the analysis of data in different ways. Most existing lenses are designed for 2D visualization and are operated using standard mouse and keyboard interaction. On the other hand, research on virtual lenses for novel 3D immersive visualization environments is scarce. Our work aims to narrow this gap in the literature. We focus particularly on the interaction with lenses. Inspired by natural interaction with magnifying glasses in the real world, our lenses are designed as graspable tools that can be created and removed as needed, manipulated and parameterized depending on the task, and even combined to flexibly create new views on the data. We implemented our ideas in a system for the visual analysis of 3D sonar data. Informal user feedback from more than a hundred people suggests that the designed lens interaction is easy to use for the task of finding a hidden wreck in sonar data.

description: The current situation and prospects for coffee are of widespread interest to American consumers and to those who supply them, and it is of vital interest to the many Latin American countries that depend on coffee as a primary source of foreign exchange earnings. The smaller per capita use of coffee in the United States in 1956 and 1957, and the rising world production and stocks, combined to reduce prices of coffee during 1957 and early 1958. The trade, foreign producers, and foreign and U. S. Government administrators have a continuing interest in the analysis and measurement of factors that influence world demand and prices of coffee. The purposes of this paper are (1) to report some research on statistical analyses of the major economic factors that influence U. S. consumption and wholesale prices of coffee, and (2) to use these analyses in appraising the current situation and prospective trends in coffee consumption in the United States. This study was prepared by the author in connection with a short assignment in February this year with the Nicaraguan Government. Their Government was interested in the probable future expansion of the U. S. market for tropical products that can be grown in Nicaragua.

description: Core-collapse supernovae exploding in dense winds are favorable sites for cosmic-ray (CR) acceleration to very high energies. We present our CR-radiation-hydrodynamics simulations of the explosion of a red supergiant. We study the evolution of the shock wave during the first day following core collapse, and estimate the time at which CR acceleration can start. We then calculate the maximum CR energy at the forward shock as a function of time, and show that it may already exceed 100 TeV only a few hours after shock breakout from the surface of the star.

description: We report time-resolved measurements of the statistics of pulsed transmission through quasi-one-dimensional dielectric media with static disorder. The normalized intensity correlation function with displacement and polarization rotation for an incident pulse of linewidth $σ$ at delay time t is a function only of the field correlation function, which is identical to that found for steady-state excitation, and of $κ_σ(t)$, the residual degree of intensity correlation at points at which the field correlation function vanishes. The dynamic probability distribution of normalized intensity depends only upon $κ_σ(t)$. Steady-state statistics are recovered in the limit $σ$->0, in which $κ_{σ=0}$ is the steady-state degree of correlation.

description: I show that it does not seem possible to change modern nuclear Hamiltonians to bind a tetraneutron without destroying many other successful predictions of those Hamiltonians. This means that, should a recent experimental claim of a bound tetraneutron be confirmed, our understanding of nuclear forces will have to be significantly changed. I also point out some errors in previous theoretical studies of this problem.

Year: 2015

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate corneal biomechanics and structure in asymptomatic individuals with Collagen Vascular Diseases (CVD), and compare with an age- -matched control group. Methods: In this prospective study 23 patients with the diagnosis of CVD (46 eyes) and 17 healthy age and gender-matched controls (34 eyes) underwent Ocular Response Analyzer and Specular Microscopy measurements. CH and CRF were recorded for each eye using the ORA, pachymetry and endothelial cell count were measured through Specular Microscopy. Results: Mean CH was 10.1 +/- 1.3 mmHg in the study group and 10.0 +/- 1.2 mmHg in the control group. Mean CRF was 10.2 +/- 1.5 and 9.9 +/- 2.5 mmHg in the study and control groups respectively. These differences weren’t statistically significant (p=0,75 and p=0,47 respective- ly). CH was significantly higher in patients treated with hydroxychloroquine (10.4) compared with those who had no treatment (9.4) (p=0.006). Likewise the average CH was significantly lower in patients with five or more years of disease 9.6 vs 10.7 mmHg (p=0.01). Conclusions: Our results suggest no difference in the biomechanical properties of the cornea of individuals with CVD and a normal control population. However, there seems to be an inverse association between time since diagnosis and the value of CH. Additionally, there seems to be a relationship between the value of CH and treatment with hydroxychloroquine. Further studies are needed to help clarify the impact of CVD on corneal biomechanics, and possible implications on the risk of glaucoma and evaluation for refractive surgery.

The relationship between metabolic syndrome(MS) and breast cancer(BC) is important in terms of influencing morbidity and mortality. Metabolic syndrome is a complex of metabolic, hormonal, and clinical changes, with its pathogenesis linked to immune-inflammatory processes. Metabolic syndrome is characterized by abdominal obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, decreased serum high-density lipoprotein(HDL-C) levels, and increased serum triglycerides(TG).[2] The presence of at least three of these five components, according to the NCEP and ATP III criteria, indicates the presence of MS.[3]

description: Benthos are aquatic organisms living at the bottom of water bodies for all or most of their life history. Apart from the settled and moving living, their forms of habitat are mostly attached to the hard substrate like rocks or soft bases such as mud and sand. In addition, there are benthic species that attach to the plant surfaces or other benthic animals, and inhabit the intertidal zone. In terms of feeding methods, most benthic animals feed on suspended matter and sediment. Most of them are invertebrates and are a complex ecological group. According to the size, they can be divided into macrobenthos and meio-benthos [1]. Benthos are an important part of the water ecosystem. Using a typical river (Gaya River) in eastern Jilin Province, this paper analyzed the water quality, the components of benthic organisms and their biological density through sampling surveys of three typical locations in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Gaya River. In addition, it made a biological evaluation of the water quality of the Gaya River.

description: We derive the quantum Boltzmann equation for the two-dimensional electron gas in a magnetic field such that the filling factor $ν\gg 1$. This equation describes all of the effects of the external fields on the impurity collision integral including Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, smooth part of the magnetoresistance, and non-linear transport. Furthemore, we obtain quantitative results for the effect of the external microwave radiation on the linear and non-linear $dc$ transport in the system. Our findings are relevant for the description of the oscillating resistivity discovered by Zudov {\em et al.}, zero-resistance state discovered by Mani {\em et al.} and Zudov {\em et al.}, and for the microscopic justification of the model of Andreev {\em et al.}. We also present semiclassical picture for the qualitative consideration of the effects of the applied field on the collision integral.

description: In this paper, we use stochastic dynamic programming to model the choice of a municipality which has to design an optimal waste management program under uncertainty about the price of recyclables in the secondary market. The municipality can, by undertaking an irreversible investment, adopt a flexible program which integrates the existing landfill strategy with recycling, keeping the option to switch back to landfilling, if profitable. We determine the optimal share of waste to be recycled and the optimal timing for the investment in such a flexible program. We find that adopting a flexible program rather than a non-flexible one, the municipality: i) invests in recycling capacity under circumstances where it would not do so otherwise; ii) invests earlier, and iii) benefits from a higher expected net present value.

description: The Information Bottleneck (IB) objective uses information theory to formulate a task-performance versus robustness trade-off. It has been successfully applied in the standard discriminative classification setting. We pose the question whether the IB can also be used to train generative likelihood models such as normalizing flows. Since normalizing flows use invertible network architectures (INNs), they are information-preserving by construction. This seems contradictory to the idea of a bottleneck. In this work, firstly, we develop the theory and methodology of IB-INNs, a class of conditional normalizing flows where INNs are trained using the IB objective: Introducing a small amount of {\em controlled} information loss allows for an asymptotically exact formulation of the IB, while keeping the INN's generative capabilities intact. Secondly, we investigate the properties of these models experimentally, specifically used as generative classifiers. This model class offers advantages such as improved uncertainty quantification and out-of-distribution detection, but traditional generative classifier solutions suffer considerably in classification accuracy. We find the trade-off parameter in the IB controls a mix of generative capabilities and accuracy close to standard classifiers. Empirically, our uncertainty estimates in this mixed regime compare favourably to conventional generative and discriminative classifiers.

description: The world over, copyright law is rapidly evolving to redefine the liability content sharing platforms face for their users’ behaviour. These changes, including the introduction of “upload filters” and “notice-and-stay-down” regimes, are likely to have a chilling effect on platform users and profoundly undermine their fundamental freedom to share. Because sharing using open licenses, such as Creative Commons (CC) licenses, is presently highly dependent on the availability of platforms, this working group set out to map emerging trends around platform liability in various world regions and assess their impact on people’s freedom to share. In light of these trends, we also provide concrete policy recommendations for protecting the freedom to share in a world of tightening platform liability.

description: Within the lowest-order Born approximation, we present an exact calculation of the time dynamics of the spin-boson model in the ohmic regime. We observe non-Markovian effects at zero temperature that scale with the system-bath coupling strength and cause qualitative changes in the evolution of coherence at intermediate times of order of the oscillation period. These changes could significantly affect the performance of these systems as qubits. In the biased case, we find a prompt loss of coherence at these intermediate times, whose decay rate is set by $\sqrtα$, where $α$ is the coupling strength to the environment. We also explore the calculation of the next order Born approximation: we show that, at the expense of very large computational complexity, interesting physical quantities can be rigorously computed at fourth order using computer algebra, presented completely in an accompanying Mathematica file. We compute the $O(α)$ corrections to the long time behavior of the system density matrix; the result is identical to the reduced density matrix of the equilibrium state to the same order in $α$. All these calculations indicate precision experimental tests that could confirm or refute the validity of the spin-boson model in a variety of systems.

description: Reconstructability analysis, a methodology based on information theory and graph theory, was used to perform a sensitivity analysis of an agent-based model. The NetLogo BehaviorSpace tool was employed to do a full 2k factorial parameter sweep on Uri Wilensky’s Wealth Distribution NetLogo model, to which a Gini-coefficient convergence condition was added. The analysis identified the most influential predictors (parameters and their interactions) of the Gini-coefficient wealth inequality outcome. Implications of this type of analysis for building and testing agent-based simulation models are discussed.

description: We study the big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) scenario with late-decaying exotic particles with lifetime longer than $\sim 1$ sec. With a late-decaying particle in the early universe, predictions of the standard BBN scenario can be significantly altered. Therefore, we derive constraints on its primordial abundance. We pay particular attention to hadronic decay modes of such particles. We see that the non-thermal production process of D, ${\rm ^{3}He}$ and ${\rm ^6Li}$ provides a stringent upper bound on the primordial abundance oflate-decaying particles with hadronic branching ratio.

description: Early recognition of risky trajectories during an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay is one of the key steps towards improving patient survival. Learning trajectories from physiological signals continuously measured during an ICU stay requires learning time-series features that are robust and discriminative across diverse patient populations. Patients within different ICU populations (referred here as domains) vary by age, conditions and interventions. Thus, mortality prediction models using patient data from a particular ICU population may perform suboptimally in other populations because the features used to train such models have different distributions across the groups. In this paper, we explore domain adaptation strategies in order to learn mortality prediction models that extract and transfer complex temporal features from multivariate time-series ICU data. Features are extracted in a way that the state of the patient in a certain time depends on the previous state. This enables dynamic predictions and creates a mortality risk space that describes the risk of a patient at a particular time. Experiments based on cross-ICU populations reveals that our model outperforms all considered baselines. Gains in terms of AUC range from 4% to 8% for early predictions when compared with a recent state-of-the-art representative for ICU mortality prediction. In particular, models for the Cardiac ICU population achieve AUC numbers as high as 0.88, showing excellent clinical utility for early mortality prediction. Finally, we present an explanation of factors contributing to the possible ICU outcomes, so that our models can be used to complement clinical reasoning.

description: A Atrofia Cortical Posterior (ACP) é um subtipo raro da doença de Alzheimer, que compreende cerca de 5% dos casos. Trata-se de uma síndrome neurodegenerativa, progressiva, que envolve o processamento visual complexo. Este tipo de demência envolve as partes posteriores do cérebro, responsáveis pelas actividades visuais e gestuais, com sinais e sintomas variáveis observados nas síndromes de Gerstmann e Balint. A linguagem, memória e insight permanecem relativamente preservados até às fases tardias da doença. Apresentamos o caso de uma mulher de 71 anos de idade, referenciada à nossa consulta após 4 anos de queixas visuais inespecíficas, com envolvi- mento predominante do campo visual esquerdo. É relevante reconhecer a ACP como um tipo de demência que frequentemente se apresenta primeiro ao oftalmologista devido às queixas visuais. A possibilidade de ACP deve ser considerada quando um doente se apresenta com sintomas visuais complexos na ausência de patologia ocular.

description: Objetivo: Relatar um caso de depósitos subfoveais bilaterais associados a membrana epir- retiniana com diferentes resultados morfológicos e funcionais, apesar do mesmo tratamento. Métodos: Doente de 67 anos, sexo masculino, apresentou-se com perda visual bilateral pro- gressiva e metamorfópsia associada a membrana epirretiniana bilateral. A acuidade visual era 20/25 no olho direito e 20/80 no olho esquerdo. O HD-OCT confirmou a presença de uma membrana epirretiniana bilateral associada a depósitos subfoveais amarelos localizados acima do epitélio pigmentado da retina (EPR) e desorganização da retina externa. Foi realizada uma injeção subtenoniana de triamcinolona seguida de vitrectomia e remoção da membrana epir- retiniana no olho esquerdo, este último procedimento foi também realizado no olho direito, um ano depois. Resultados: O olho esquerdo mostrou uma excelente resposta ao tratamento com uma acuida- de visual quatro meses após a cirurgia de 20/20. No olho direito - inicialmente com a melhor visão - o depósito subfoveal teve resolução espontânea antes da cirurgia e a visão final foi 20/80. Conclusões: A história natural dos depósitos subfoveais associados a membranas epirretinia- nas é ainda pouco compreendida. Consideramos este relatório como evidência de que depó- sitos subfoveais, às vezes vistos em associação a membranas epirretinianas, podem sinalizar importantes alterações no metabolismo do complexo fotorreceptores/EPR. Pode haver uma fase inflamatória inicial, em que a cirurgia precoce conduz a uma boa recuperação visual, seguida por uma fase posterior em que os fotorreceptores já não podem regenerar e recuperar, mesmo com a realização da cirurgia. Uma intervenção cirúrgica precoce parece assim ser apropriada nestes casos.

description: The internal EJPSoil project SERENA contributed to the evaluation of soil multifunctionality aiming at providing assessment tools for land planning and soil policies at different scales. By co-working with relevant stakeholders, the project provided co-developed indicators and associated cookbooks to assess and map them, to report both on soil degradation, soil-based ecosystem services and their bundles, under actual conditions and for climate and land-use changes, at the regional, national, and European scales.  

The current report is an extension of the SERENA report D3.2v1 “Critical analysis of the experiences at member state level”. The objective was to compare the indicators, methods and data (including data availability) used by the countries participating in the SERENA project to assess specific soil threats and soil-based-ecosystem services. Differences and similarities between the assessments of the different countries and the need for harmonisation were identified. In total, seven soil threats are considered: nutrient imbalance, loss of diversity, soil acidification, soil contamination, waterlogging, salinization, and soil drought. Four soil-based ecosystem services are included (habitat for biodiversity, environmental pollution control, and pest and disease control).

description: Many types of economic and social activities involve significant behavioral complementarities (peer effects) with neighbors in the social network. The same activities often exert externalities that cumulate in "stocks" affecting agents' welfare and incentives. For instance, smoking is subject to peer effects, and the stock of passive smoke increases the marginal risks of bad health, decreasing the incentives to smoke. In the linear quadratic framework studied by Ballester et al. (2006), we consider contexts where agents' incentives decrease with the "stock" to which neighbors are exposed (agents may, for instance, care about their friends' health). In such contexts, the patterns of strategic interaction differ from the network of social relations, as agents display strategic substitution with distance-two neighbors. We show that behavior is predicted by a weighted Bonacich centrality index, with weights accounting for distance-two relations. We find that both maximal behavior and key-players tend to move to the periphery of the network, and we discuss the effect of close-knit communities and segregated groups on aggregate behavior. We finally discuss the implications for peer effects identification and for the emergence of potential biases in the estimation of social effects.

description: Cardiac tumors, the cross-talk among Tumor cells orchestrates a symphony of signaling mechanisms. As we delve into this complex interplay, we uncover the intricate dance of molecular messages that govern the fate of cardiac cells. From tumor microenvironment influences to cascading cell signals, understanding this cross-talk unveils potential avenues for innovative therapeutic interventions in cardiovascular oncology. HGF stands for hepatocyte growth factor, also called scatter factor. Mesenchymal cells are actively involved in its production and it is secreted in an inactive form. By proteolytic cleavage it is converted into active form and binds to its cellular Met receptor, a tyrosine kinase receptor which is seen on the surface of epithelial, endothelial and others cells. It has a role in cardiomyocytes morphogenesis, proliferation, differentiation, survival, repair and injury or stress. It is physiologically involve in angiogenesis, tissue remodeling and stem cell maintenance. Initial Progression of Tumor is prominently seen in the cells with dysregulated c-Met/HGF pathway, c-Met/HGF pathway unnecessary activation, legend independent activation, Proteolytic cleavage of HGF and altered receptor trafficking. In case of dysregulation of this pathway due to some genetics alternations, an overexpression can leads to cardiac cancer as a result of involvements of autocrine and paracrine signaling mechanisms. Owing to gene amplification, overexpression, mutation in this receptor, erroneous and enhanced initiation of c-MET/HGF pathway leads to uncontrolled cell cycle progression, cells multiplications, leading to tumor growth by providing pro-survival signals to cancer cells enabling them to evade apoptosis. The involvement of c-Met/HGF pathway causes triggering of Epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Increased angiogenesis supports the tumor growth and evasion with metastasis leads to the increased mobility of cardiac cancer profile including metastasis, sarcomas and spindle cell neoplasms towards difficulty in treatments and resistance towards therapies.

description: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a future ground-based gamma-ray observatory that will provide unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution for the detection of gamma rays with energies above a few tens of GeV. In comparison to existing instruments (like H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS) the sensitivity will be improved by installing two extended arrays of telescopes in the northern and southern hemisphere, respectively. A large number of planned telescopes (>100 in total) motivates the application of predictive maintenance techniques to the individual telescopes. A constant and automatic condition monitoring of the mechanical telescope structure and of the drive system (motors, gears) is considered for this purpose. The condition monitoring system aims at detecting degradations well before critical errors occur; it should help to ensure long-term operation and to reduce the maintenance efforts of the observatory. We present approaches for the condition monitoring of the structure and the drive system of Medium-Sized Telescopes (MSTs), respectively. The overall concept has been developed and tested at the MST prototype for CTA in Berlin. The sensors used, the joint data acquisition system, possible analysis methods (like Operational Modal Analysis, OMA, and Experimental Modal Analysis, EMA) and first performance results are discussed.

description: The optical potential approach for low-energy scattering of $η$-mesons on three-body nuclei is compared to an exact treatment of the $η3N$ system using four-body scattering theory with separable interactions in s-waves only. The higher-order terms including the interaction of the struck nucleon with the surrounding nuclear medium and virtual target excitations in between successive $η$-scatterings are found to cause important corrections. Effects of final state interaction in $η$-photoproduction on $^3$H and $^3$He are also studied and sizable contributions beyond the optical model approach are found.
