description: This paper summarizes a presentation for a panel discussion on "The Future of Astrostatistics" held at the Statistical Challenges in Modern Astronomy V conference at Pennsylvania State University in June 2011. I argue that the emerging needs of astrostatistics may both motivate and benefit from fundamental developments in statistics. I highlight some recent work within statistics on fundamental topics relevant to astrostatistical practice, including the Bayesian/frequentist debate (and ideas for a synthesis), multilevel models, and multiple testing. As an important direction for future work in statistics, I emphasize that astronomers need a statistical framework that explicitly supports unfolding chains of discovery, with acquisition, cataloging, and modeling of data not seen as isolated tasks, but rather as parts of an ongoing, integrated sequence of analyses, with information and uncertainty propagating forward and backward through the chain. A prototypical example is surveying of astronomical populations, where source detection, demographic modeling, and the design of survey instruments and strategies all interact.

Magic state distillation with low overhead

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose a new family of error detecting stabilizer codes with an encoding rate 1/3 that permit a transversal implementation of the pi/8-rotation $T$ on all logical qubits. The new codes are used to construct protocols for distilling high-quality `magic' states $T|+>$ by Clifford group gates and Pauli measurements. The distillation overhead has a poly-logarithmic scaling as a function of the output accuracy, where the degree of the polynomial is $\log_2{3}\approx 1.6$. To construct the desired family of codes, we introduce the notion of a triorthogonal matrix --- a binary matrix in which any pair and any triple of rows have even overlap. Any triorthogonal matrix gives rise to a stabilizer code with a transversal $T$-gate on all logical qubits, possibly augmented by Clifford gates. A powerful numerical method for generating triorthogonal matrices is proposed. Our techniques lead to a two-fold overhead reduction for distilling magic states with output accuracy $10^{-12}$ compared with the best previously known protocol.

Distinctive Roles of Estrone and Estradiol in Shaping Verbal Memory Circuitry in Postmenopausal Women
Creators: name: Schroeder, Rachel A
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This study examines the association of estradiol, estrone, and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) with brain activation and hippocampal functional connectivity during a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) task of verbal learning and memory. These analyses were performed in postmenopausal women in order to identify different roles of hormones in brain regions that support verbal memory ability. We hypothesized that women with increased levels of estradiol and estrone, and lower levels of FSH, would display a pattern of activation and functional connectivity with more hemispheric asymmetry. Specifically, verbal memory encoding would be associated with increased activation and connectivity with regions in the left hemisphere, while verbal memory recognition would be associated with increased activation and functional connectivity with regions in the right hemisphere. Data are from the MsBrain study, a cohort study of midlife women (n=98, mean age 59.2 +/- 4.19 years). The study sample included 97 postmenopausal women (one late perimenopausal), 77 of whom are white, 17 Black, two Asian or Pacific Islander, and two mixed race. Participants completed neuropsychological testing, measures of mental and physical health, and an fMRI task of verbal memory encoding and recognition. Task activation was not significantly related to levels of estradiol, estrone, or FSH. Hippocampal functional connectivity was increased with regions associated with brain networks engaged in attentional and executive processes in those with increased levels of estradiol and estrone, but not with FSH. Findings suggest that estrone and estradiol may have some overlapping and some distinct effects on hippocampal functional connectivity in postmenopausal women.

description: The paper is devoted to the study of the motion of one-dimensional rigid bodies during a free fall in a quasi-Newtonian hyperviscous fluid at low Reynolds number. We show the existence of a steady solution and furnish sufficient conditions on the geometry of the body in order to get purely translational motions. Such conditions are based on a generalized version of the so-called Reciprocal Theorem for fluids.

Crocidura gueldenstaedtii

description: Crocidura gueldenstaedtii (Pallas, 1811). Zoogr. Rosso-Asiat., 1:132. TYPE LOCALITY: Georgia, near Dushet (N of Tbilisi). DISTRIBUTION: Transcaucasia. SYNONYMS: aralychensis, bogdanowii, fumigatus, longicaudata. COMMENTS: This name has produced much confusion. Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1966) listed it as a subspecies of russula and were followed by Corbet (1978c), among others. Richter (1970) applied gueldenstaedtii even to Mediterranean populations of suaveolens and was followed in that action by Kahmann and Vesmanis (1976). Hutterer (1981d) suggested that all these populations represent suaveolens; this was supported by karyological and biochemical data (Catzeflis et al., 1985). Despite convincing evidence some Russian authors (e.g., Grafodatsky et al., 1988) still claim the existence of gueldenstaedtii as a species in the Caucasus. This species is most certainly conspecific with suaveolens.

PLUTO: a POMDP-based Serverless Autoscaler for FPGA-as-a-Service Accelerated Functions
Creators: name: Fiscaletti, Giorgia
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Field Programmable Gate Arrayss (FPGAs) in serverless platforms allow to share accelerators and reduce overprovisioning of resources. Scaling serverless functions depending on user needs is a challenging task that is currently addressed with underperforming threshold-based approaches, especially in the case of FPGAs. In this thesis, we will present PLUTO, an autoscaler for FPGA-as-a-Service accelerated functions based on a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP). First, we will introduce the work by dening the background and the addressed problem. We will analyze the current State of the Art (SoA), represented by the threshold-based autoscalers used by the main providers and other Reinforcement Learning (RL) solutions proposed by recent research. Then, we will present the implementation of PLUTO, a decision agent that works as a decentralized per-application autoscaler, building a model of the application without expensive data-driven computations. The thesis will explain both the POMDP modeling and resolution, and the integration of the abstract model with the real system. We will then show the results of the tests on the real system, analyzing and comparing them with two of the most popular autoscalers currently available - Kubernetes's Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) and OpenFaas's autoscaler. We will demonstrate that the proposed solution has an overall better performance w.r.t. the two aforementioned approaches. In fact, PLUTO proved to be able to maintain a good Quality of Service (QoS) in terms of service latency with negligible violations, while avoiding unnecessary scaling operations that would lead to a wastage of resources. Finally, we will describe some interesting future works that can be carried out to enhance the performance and flexibility of the proposed solution.

description: We present results of femtoscopic analysis with K0s-K0s, Kch-Kch, p-p, pbar-pbar, p-pbar and lambda-antilambda in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt{s_NN}=2.76 TeV and K0s-K0s in pp collisions at sqrt{s}=7 TeV registered by ALICE at the LHC. The femtoscopic radius is extracted from the one-dimensional correlation functions. The analysis reveals that the emission source sizes of pions, kaons and protons measured in heavy-ion collisions exhibit approximate transverse mass scaling which is consistent with hydrodynamic collectivity prediction. Furthermore, baryon-antibaryon correlations are investigated to study the influence of Final State Interactions (annihilation). It may contribute to lower multiplicities of protons observed at LHC energies, with respect to predictions from thermal models.

description: The dynamic shape relaxation of the two-layer-vesicle is calculated. In additional to the undulation relaxation where the two bilayers move in the same direction, the squeezing mode appears when the gap between the two bilayers is small. At large gap, the inner vesicle relaxes much faster, whereas the slow mode is mainly due to the outer layer relaxation. We have calculated the viscoelasticity of the dilute two-layer-vesicle suspension. It is found that for small gap, the applied shear drives the undulation mode strongly while the slow squeezing mode is not much excited. In this limit the complex viscosity is dominated by the fast mode contribution. On the other hand, the slow mode is strongly driven by shear for larger gap. We have determined the crossover gap which depends on the interaction between the two bilayers. For a series of samples where the gap is changed systematically, it is possible to observe the two amplitude switchings.

description: We investigate choice principles in the Weihrauch lattice for finite sets on the one hand, and convex sets on the other hand. Increasing cardinality and increasing dimension both correspond to increasing Weihrauch degrees. Moreover, we demonstrate that the dimension of convex sets can be characterized by the cardinality of finite sets encodable into them. Precisely, choice from an n+1 point set is reducible to choice from a convex set of dimension n, but not reducible to choice from a convex set of dimension n-1. Furthermore we consider searching for zeros of continuous functions. We provide an algorithm producing 3n real numbers containing all zeros of a continuous function with up to n local minima. This demonstrates that having finitely many zeros is a strictly weaker condition than having finitely many local extrema. We can prove 3n to be optimal.

ENOS: Energy Aware Network Operator Search

description: Until recent times, DNNs have been designed using conventional high-precision operator which gives maximum accuracy but is not energy efficient. With the invent of new computationally efficient correlation operators, accuracy deterioration becomes a problem. In addition, all DNNs use a single correlation operator for end-to-end processing. In these cases, using only a high precision operator might not be energy efficient and using alternate operators might affect the accuracy. Thus, an optimal solution would be to systematically combine these operators to maintain the energy-accuracy tradeoff. This is the main goal of my framework called ENOS : Energy Aware Network Operator Search where if the energy constraints for an application is established, the operator sequence for different layers can be automatically synthesized while maximizing the prediction accuracy.

description: All known mass distributions of recently formed star cluster populations resemble a "universal" power-law function. Here we assess the impact of the extremely disruptive environment in NGC 7742's circumnuclear starburst ring on the early evolution of the galaxy's high-mass (~10^5-10^7 Msun) star cluster population. Surprisingly, and contrary to expectations, at all ages -- including the youngest, <15 Myr -- the cluster mass functions are robustly and verifiably represented by lognormal distributions that resemble those commonly found only for old, evolved globular cluster systems in the local Universe. This suggests that the high-shear conditions in the NGC 7742 starburst ring may significantly speed up dynamical star cluster destruction. This enhanced mass-dependent disruption rate at very young ages might be caused by a combination of the starburst ring's high density and the shear caused by the counterrotating gas disk in the galaxy's inner region.

description: Neutrinos are the only fundamental fermions which have no electric charges. Because of that neutrinos have no direct electromagnetic interaction and at relatively small energies they can take part only in weak processes with virtual $W^{\pm}$ and $Z^{0}$ bosons (like $β$-decay of nuclei, inverse $β$ process $\barν_{e}+p\to e^{+}n$, etc.). Neutrino masses are many orders of magnitude smaller than masses of charged leptons and quarks. These two circumstances make neutrinos unique, special particles. The history of the neutrino is very interesting, exciting and instructive. We try here to follow the main stages of the neutrino history starting from the Pauli proposal and finishing with the discovery and study of neutrino oscillations.

description: The Drosophila blastoderm and the vertebrate neural tube are archetypal examples of morphogen-patterned tissues that create precise spatial patterns of different cell types. In both tissues, pattern formation is dependent on molecular gradients that emanate from opposite poles. Despite distinct evolutionary origins and differences in time scales, cell biology and molecular players, both tissues exhibit striking similarities in the regulatory systems that establish gene expression patterns that foreshadow the arrangement of cell types. First, signaling gradients establish initial conditions that polarize the tissue, but there is no strict correspondence between specific morphogen thresholds and boundary positions. Second, gradients initiate transcriptional networks that integrate broadly distributed activators and localized repressors to generate patterns of gene expression. Third, the correct positioning of boundaries depends on the temporal and spatial dynamics of the transcriptional networks. These similarities reveal design principles that are likely to be broadly applicable to morphogen-patterned tissues.

description: A relational structure is homomorphism-homogeneous if every homomorphism between finite substructures extends to an endomorphism of the structure. This notion was introduced recently by Cameron and Nešetřil. In this paper we consider a strengthening of homomorphism-homogeneity --- we call a relational structure polymorphism-homogeneous if every partial polymorphism with a finite domain extends to a global polymorphism of the structure. It turns out that this notion (under various names and in completely different contexts) has been existing in algebraic literature for at least 30 years. Motivated by this observation, we dedicate this paper to the topic of polymorphism-homogeneous structures. We study polymorphism-homogeneity from a model-theoretic, an algebraic, and a combinatorial point of view. E.g., we study structures that have quantifier elimination for positive primitive formulae, and show that this notion is equivalent to polymorphism-homogeneity for weakly oligomorphic structures. We demonstrate how the Baker-Pixley theorem can be used to show that polymorphism-homogeneity is a decidable property for finite relational structures. Eventually, we completely characterize the countable polymorphism-homogeneous graphs, the polymorphism-homogeneous posets of arbitrary size, and the countable polymorphism-homogeneous strict posets.

We give a complete description of the important spaces associated to matrix rational inner functions. The dimension of some of these spaces can be computed in a straightforward way, and this ends up having an application to the study of three variable rational inner functions. Examples are included to highlight the differences between the scalar and matrix cases.

The Last Courtesan

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The Last Courtesan explores the invisible influence of various forms of power: patriarchy, the politics of shame, religious exploitation, the semblance of democracy. These forces are all used to exclude women in many societies and often operate in covert ways. It is told in a third person limited narration with alternating sections devoted mainly to the point of view of two female protagonists—an American doctor and Pakistani teen “virgin prostitute.” This term is a reference to women who have been raised to become sex workers when they come of age and can command a high price due to this status. Traditionally, prostitutes in Lahore’s red-light district belonged to courtesan clans known as Tawaifs, like Japan’s Geishas. However, British colonialism in South Asia diminished their status from purveyors of high culture to providers of sex. Today, teen prostitutes might be runaways or destitute, who are often tricked into becoming sex workers. Nevertheless, the class of young women are prized for their virginity. The novel’s teenage protagonist is yet to make a living through prostitution, but she survives by working as a model for nudist paintings. Public nudity is punishable by law and frowned upon by social mores in Pakistan’s socially conservative society. Nude models are sometimes drawn from among prostitutes in this oldest of red-light districts in the world, the Diamond Market. This teen “virgin” prostitute crosses paths with an American female doctor. The doctor, who has in recent years been disillusioned by America’s imperialistic ventures and a rise of Islamophobia, has returned to one of the regions of her ancestry to see if it will satisfy her search for belonging and provide healing from personal strife. The events take place in 2007, the year Pakistan's first and only female prime minister, Benazir Bhutto, was assassinated, enabling a deeper look at the post-9/11 Pakistan-U.S. relationship. The novel also sheds light on the impact of such global political alliances on the lives of ordinary citizens in the aftermath of the War on Terror, U.S. drone warfare and a rise in Islamophobia around the world and within the U.S.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Background and objective The Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) provokes the gradual loss of kidney function, forcing patients in the final stage undergoing permanent kidney replacement therapy. It affects 12-14% of people worldwide and its related care costs represent an important percentage of the total health expenditure. The most effective weapons against the disease are early diagnosis and treatment, which in the majority of the cases can only postpone the onset of complete kidney failure. CKD patients are classified trough the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) clinical test, which is currently used as assessment scale for planning follow up and management. To promote personalized care and strategic planning of the treatment, more effective assessment tools are needed. Methods To accurately predict the time frame within which a CKD patient will have necessarily to be dialyzed, thus allowing both the patients and the hospital to organize in the most appropriate manner, we developed a computational model based on a supervised machine learning approach. We compare different techniques, regarding both the information extraction and model training phases, in order to understand which approaches are the most effective. The different models to be compared are trained on the data extracted from the Electronic Medical Record of a hospital infrastructure. Results As final model, we propose a set of Extremely Randomized Trees classifiers considering 27 features, including creatinine level, urea, red blood cells count, eGFR trend (which is not even the most important), age and associated comorbidities. In predicting the occurrence of complete renal failure within the next year or later, it obtains a test accuracy of 94%, specificity of 91% and sensitivity of 96%. More and shorter time-frame intervals, up to 6 months of granularity, can be specified without relevantly worsening the model performance. Conclusions The developed computational model provides clinicians with a great support in predicting the patient’s clinical pathway. Nephrologist showed great interest in the approach and its possible applications. The promising results of the model, coupled with the knowledge and experience of the clinicians, can effectively lead to better personalized care and strategic planning of both patient needs and hospital resources.

description: We study the implication of the LHC Higgs search results on the Type II Two Higgs-Doublet Model. In particular, we explore the scenarios in which the observed 126 GeV Higgs signal is interpreted as either the light CP-even Higgs $h^0$ or the heavy CP-even Higgs $H^0$. Imposing both theoretical and experimental constraints, we analyze the surviving parameter regions in $m_H$ ($m_h$), $m_A$, $m_{H^\pm}$, $\tanβ$ and $\sin(β- α)$. We further identify the regions that could accommodate a 126 GeV Higgs with cross sections consistent with the observed Higgs signal. We find that in the $h^0$-126 case, we are restricted to narrow regions of $\sin(β-α) \approx \pm 1$ with $\tanβ$ up to 4, or an extended region with $0.55 < \sin(β-α) < 0.9$ and $1.5 < \tanβ< 4$. The values of $m_H$, $m_A$ and $m_{H^\pm}$, however, are relatively unconstrained. In the $H^0$-126 case, we are restricted to a narrow region of $\sin(β-α) \sim 0$ with $\tanβ$ up to about 8, or an extended region of $\sin(β-α) $ between $-0.8$ to $-0.05$, with $\tanβ$ extended to 30 or higher. $m_A$ and $m_{H^\pm}$ are nearly degenerate due to $Δρ$ constraints. Imposing flavor constraints shrinks the surviving parameter space significantly for the $H^0$-126 case, limiting $\tanβ\lesssim 10$, but has little effect in the $h^0$-126 case. We also investigate the correlation between $γγ$, $VV$ and $bb/ττ$ channels. $γγ$ and $VV$ channels are most likely to be highly correlated with $γγ:VV \sim 1$ for the normalized cross sections.

Extremal extensions of entanglement witnesses and their connection with UPB

description: In this paper we describe a new connection between UPB (unextendable product bases) and P (positive) maps which are not CP (completely positive). We show that inner automorphisms of the set of P maps which are not CP, produce extremal extensions of these maps that help in entanglement detection. By constructing such an extension of the well-known Choi map, we strengthen its power to unearth PPT (positive under partial transpose) entangled states. We further show that the class of maps generated from the Choi map via an inner automorphism naturally detects the entanglement of states in the orthogonal complement of certain UPB. This brings out a hitherto undiscovered connection between the Choi map and UPB. We also show that certain other recently considered extremal extensions are obtainable by such extensions of the Choi map.

Non-collapsing on Hypersurfaces of Prescribed Curvature
Creators: name: Al Hazmi, Hadil
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2022

description: The establishment and development of a non-collapsing technique have recently received a great deal of attention in geometric analysis. The area of study conducted in this thesis is motivated by this technique which is based on the application of the maximum principle to a two-point function that is defined on manifolds or relies on some global information of partial differential equations PDEs. This approach is utilized in order to acquire some useful knowledge on the behaviour of geometric structures and properties of embedded hypersurfaces. Despite of that this technique is used in various settings in geometric analysis, it still has a similar machinery in general. Our first purpose of study concerns the uniqueness of a class of embedded Weingarten hypersurfaces in the higher dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$. In particular, we consider a more general class of embedded Weingarten hypersurfaces with two distinct principal curvatures into $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$. Also, we assume that these hypersurfaces satisfying a PDE of the principal curvatures with assumptions on the number of multiplicities of these curvatures. As a result, we deduce that these principal curvatures are both constant and consequently our hypersurfaces are congruent to a Clifford torus. One of the key ingredients in this work is based on the smart deployment of the maximum principle argument to a function of two variables that is defined on our hypersurfaces. The second main object of study is the mean convex mean curvature flow in Minkowski space $\mathbb{L}^{n,1}$. Of particular interest is the study of co-compact mean convex embedded spacelike hypersurfaces evolving by the mean curvature flow into $\mathbb{L}^{n,1}$. In particular, we deduce a non-collapsing estimate by employing the maximum principal to a quantity that relies on two points of these spacelike hypersurfaces. More precisely, we compare the radius of the largest hyperbola which touches the spacelike hypersurface at a given point to the curvature at that point. Also, we assume that our spacelike hypersurfaces are asymptotic to the hyperplane in order to to control the behaviour of such hypersurfaces at infinity and ensure that the maximum principle is applicable to our setting.

description: Human life is progressing with advancements in technology such as laptops, smart phones, high speed communication networks etc., which helps us by reducing load in doing our daily activities. For instance, one can chat, talk, make video calls with his/her friends instantly using social networking platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, WhatsApp etc. LinkedIn, Indeed, etc., connects employees with potential employers. The number of people using these applications are increasing day-by-day, and so is the amount of data generated from these applications. Processing such vast amounts of data, may require new techniques for gaining valuable insights. Network theory concepts form the core of such techniques that are designed to uncover valuable insights from large social network datasets.
Many interesting problems such as ranking top-K nodes and top-K communities that can effectively diffuse any given message into the network, restaurant recommendations, friendship recommendations on social networking websites, etc., can be addressed by using the concepts of network centrality. Network centrality measures such as In-degree centrality, Out-degree centrality, Eigen-vector centrality, Katz Broadcast centrality, Katz Receive centrality, and PageRank centrality etc., comes handy in solving these problems.
In this thesis, we propose different formulae for computing the strength for identifying top-K nodes and communities that can spread viral marketing messages into the network. The strength formulae are based on Katz Broadcast centrality, Resolvent matrix measure and Personalized PageRank measure. Moreover, the effects of intercommunity and intracommunity connectivity in ranking top-K communities are studied. Top-K nodes for spreading any message effectively into the network are determined by using Katz Broadcast centrality measure. Results obtained through this technique are compared with the top-K nodes obtained by using Degree centrality measure. We also studied the effects of varying _ on the number of nodes in search space. In Algorithms 2 and 3, top-K communities are obtained by using Resolvent matrix and Personalized PageRank measure. Algorithm 2 results were studied by varying the parameter _.
Missing derivative discontinuity of the exchange-correlation energy for attractive interactions: the charge Kondo effect

description: We show that the energy functional of ensemble Density Functional Theory (DFT) [Perdew et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 49, 1691 (1982)] in systems with attractive interactions is a convex function of the fractional particle number N and is given by a series of straight lines joining a subset of ground-state energies. As a consequence the exchange-correlation (XC) potential is not discontinuous for all N. We highlight the importance of this exact result in the ensemble-DFT description of the negative-U Anderson model. In the atomic limit the discontinuity of the XC potential is missing for odd N while for finite hybridizations the discontinuity at even N is broadened. We demonstrate that the inclusion of these properties in any approximate XC potential is crucial to reproduce the characteristic signatures of the charge-Kondo effect in the conductance and charge susceptibility.
