description: I discuss open theoretical questions pertaining to the modified dynamics (MOND)--a proposed alternative to dark matter, which posits a breakdown of Newtonian dynamics in the limit of small accelerations. In particular, I point the reasons for thinking that MOND is an effective theory--perhaps, despite appearance, not even in conflict with GR. I then contrast the two interpretations of MOND as modified gravity and as modified inertia. I describe two mechanical models that are described by potential theories similar to (non-relativistic) MOND: a potential-flow model, and a membrane model. These might shed some light on a possible origin of MOND. The possible involvement of vacuum effects is also speculated on.

Some Windmill Sites in Friston and Eastbourne, Sussex

description: Sussex Archaeological Collections, 120, 93-138
description: During the past twenty years, Richard Gilbert, Patricia Stevens and the writer have been associated with the examination of a number of mill sites in and around Eastbourne, and this paper records nine such sites (Fig. 1). In 1961, three mill sites at Friston were investigated, two of which were located on the Exceat Road and include an early post-medieval mill (site 1) and its eighteenth century replacement (site 2). The third, a typical Sussex postmill, replaced the second mill in the nineteenth century on land opposite Friston church. It collapsed in 1926 and the site was excavated in advance of redevelopment (site 3). Later, in 1966, work began on the mills of Pashley Down, Eastbourne, where there was the site of a seventeenth century post mill (site 4) and an associated bolting house, later converted to a horizontal mill (site 5), this latter being one of three local examples of the five known horizontal cornmills in En81and. When Patricia Stevens excavated an Anglo-Saxon cemetery on Ocklynge Hill, Eastbourne, in 1970, two cruciform trenches of medieval postmill steads (sites 6 and 7) were uncovered, and later an associated medieval habitation area (site 8) was excavated at 85 Willingdon Road, Eastbourne. Also on the Anglo-Saxon cemetery site was what is believed to be the site of yet another horizontal windmill (site 9). This latter was the third horizontal windmill of its type to be built locally by Thomas Mortimer, whose second attempt stood on the coast (site 10), near the pier. Mortimer was a much respected local worthy of some substance whose inventiveness, as we shall see, is demonstrated in his mills. The mill sites are discussed in the order in which they were examined, and cross-references are frequently made between the sites.

description: We examine analytically the existence and stability of phase-locked states in a weakly heterogeneous neuronal network. We consider a model of N neurons with all-to-all synaptic coupling where the heterogeneity is in the firing frequency or intrinsic drive of the neurons. We consider both inhibitory and excitatory coupling. We derive the conditions under which stable phase-locking is possible. In homogeneous networks, many different periodic phase-locked states are possible. Their stability depends on the dynamics of the neuron and the coupling. For weak heterogeneity, the phase-locked states are perturbed from the homogeneous states and can remain stable if their homogeneous conterparts are stable. For enough heterogeneity, phase-locked solutions either lose stability or are destroyed completely. We analyze the possible states the network can take when phase-locking is broken.

description: We analyze the quantum cosmology of the simplest pre--big--bang model without dilaton potential. In addition to the minisuperspace variables we include inhomogeneous dilaton fluctuations and determine their wave function on a semiclassical background. This wave function is used to calculate the reduced density matrix and to find criteria for the loss of decoherence. It is shown that coherence between different backgrounds can always be achieved by a specific choice of vacua though generically decoherence can be expected. In particular, we discuss the implications of these results on the ``exit problem'' of pre--big--bang cosmology.

description: This thesis examines ways in which non-specialist primary ITE (Initial Teacher Education) students can make historically valid connections with people who lived in the past. The literature review analyses the work of R. G. Collingwood and is critical of the concept of Historical Empathy, developed by educationalists from his work. It then identifies, from recent literature, aspects of Historical Empathy which may be achievable for these non-specialist students of history, combined with findings from recent research in psychology and philosophy, particularly when they are applied to material culture. The literature review concludes, with a tentative first model of a proposed new concept, which was labelled Organic Historical Reasoning and comprised of four sub-concepts. Semi-structured interviews with 11 ITE students were recoded and transcribed. The data were analysed using a grounded first coding, which was aligned with a thematic approach to confirm overarching themes, reflecting the students’ thinking about people in the past. The key concepts identified in the literature review as potential dimensions of Organic Historical Reasoning were broadly reflected in the first data analyses but the model was revised after a detailed analysis of the responses in each of the four sub-concepts of Organic Historical Reasoning (model 2). This model was finally revised as model 3, which orders the component parts of the proposed concept of Organic Historical Reasoning, based on their strength within the data and their dependence on pedagogy. This tentative model describes key types of thinking which enabled this sample of non-specialist primary trainee teachers to connect with the reality of past lives.

description: The squirmer is a simple yet instructive model for microswimmers, which employs an effective slip velocity on the surface of a spherical swimmer to describe its self-propulsion. We solve the hydrodynamic flow problem with the lattice Boltzmann (LB) method, which is well-suited for time-dependent problems involving complex boundary conditions. Incorporating the squirmer into LB is relatively straight-forward, but requires an unexpectedly fine grid resolution to capture the physical flow fields and behaviors accurately. We demonstrate this using four basic hydrodynamic tests: Two for the far-field flow---accuracy of the hydrodynamic moments and squirmer-squirmer interactions---and two that require the near field to be accurately resolved---a squirmer confined to a tube and one scattering off a spherical obstacle---which LB is capable of doing down to the grid resolution. We find good agreement with (numerical) results obtained using other hydrodynamic solvers in the same geometries and identify a minimum required resolution to achieve this reproduction. We discuss our algorithm in the context of other hydrodynamic solvers and present an outlook on its application to multi-squirmer problems.

description: This paper describes multichannel speech enhancement for improving automatic speech recognition (ASR) in noisy environments. Recently, the minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamforming has widely been used because it works well if the steering vector of speech and the spatial covariance matrix (SCM) of noise are given. To estimating such spatial information, conventional studies take a supervised approach that classifies each time-frequency (TF) bin into noise or speech by training a deep neural network (DNN). The performance of ASR, however, is degraded in an unknown noisy environment. To solve this problem, we take an unsupervised approach that decomposes each TF bin into the sum of speech and noise by using multichannel nonnegative matrix factorization (MNMF). This enables us to accurately estimate the SCMs of speech and noise not from observed noisy mixtures but from separated speech and noise components. In this paper we propose online MVDR beamforming by effectively initializing and incrementally updating the parameters of MNMF. Another main contribution is to comprehensively investigate the performances of ASR obtained by various types of spatial filters, i.e., time-invariant and variant versions of MVDR beamformers and those of rank-1 and full-rank multichannel Wiener filters, in combination with MNMF. The experimental results showed that the proposed method outperformed the state-of-the-art DNN-based beamforming method in unknown environments that did not match training data.

description: Background
Independent component analysis (ICA) allows decomposing heterogeneous transcriptomics data and extracting relevant transcriptional signals that correspond either to relevant biological processes or to technical biases. Using independent components as features for downstream analysis requires high reproducibility of decomposition. Here we investigated the stability of ICA and tested reproducibility of its results for single and multiple runs, and in the case of reduced number of samples.

Method
We applied the developed consensus ICA algorithm (https://gitlab.com/biomodlih/consica) to TCGA RNA-seq gene expression data on patients with skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) and non-small cell lung cancers: squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) and adenocarcinoma (LUAD). The stability of the deconvolution was investigated in respect to the number of parallel consensus ICA runs and the size of the patient cohort. Two predicting models were used to classify the patients based on ICA results: random forest and xgboost from corresponding R packages. We also carried out survival prediction with Cox regression (R package `survival`) on the weights of independent components and examined the dependence between prediction quality and the number of components. Jaccard indexes, coefficients of determination and cosine similarities between identified metagenes were used to assess the stability of deconvolution.

Results
We validated the optimal number of parallel consensus ICA runs that provided reproducible deconvolution for each cancer type. The dependency on real datasets was contrasted with such on permutated datasets. Also, we estimated the effect of parallel runs on the quality of lung cancer type classification (LUSC/LUAD). Using ICA as a feature engineering method before cancer type classification gave a higher accuracy compared to classifiers trained on the raw gene expression data. We identified biologically relevant signals that were stably detected for skin and lung tumours, including cell cycle, activity of infiltrating immune cells and keratinization. Finally, we estimated the boundary values for the number of components that allow detecting these biologically relevant signals in smaller patient cohorts.

The early-modern carpenter and timber framing in the rural Sussex Weald.
Creators: name: Kirk, J C
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2006

description: Sussex Archaeological Collections, 142, 93-105
description: The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries witnessed the peak of post-medieval iron and glass production in the Sussex Weald together with an upsurge in the building and re-modelling of local houses on such a scale that it has been called by some historians `The Great Rebuilding'. The link between iron, glass, and construction was the wood and timber industry, which utilized an ancient form of woodland management to provide charcoal for the furnaces and oak for the timber-framed buildings characteristic of the region. There is evidence to suggest, however, that timber from woodland sources was not as freely available as might be thought, and that the use of hedgerow trees, especially for the smaller vernacular house, was a viable alternative. It is possible to tell from tool marks on timbers in a surviving building not only what type of tree was used and how it was worked, but also how many were needed to complete the frame. These facts reflect on the local availability of building timber and thus the contemporary management of timber supplies. The life and work of the carpenter, the figure at the centre of the wood, timber, and construction industries at this time, are not so easily understood. In the absence of written accounts probate inventories have been taken as the most revealing source of information on standards of living and work practices and in the process have added considerably to what is already known of the rural Wealden artisan in early-modern Sussex.
GenomeKit: A Python library for fast and easy access to genomic resources

Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2024

description: GenomeKit is Deep Genomics’ high performance Python library for fast and easy access to genomic resources such as sequence, data tracks, annotations, and variants.

GenomeKit has been in use internally by ML & data scientists and bioinformaticians at Deep Genomics for several years, and we have decided to make it available to the rest of the community. GenomeKit serves as the computational foundation for the data generation and evaluation of the recently announced BigRNA foundation model, and most other workflows at Deep Genomics.

At its core, GenomeKit allows users to perform computational operations on the genome, like searching, applying variants, and comparing, extracting and expanding intervals. Classes like Genome, Interval, and Variant form the base for most of its APIs.

For example, GenomeKit allows users to easily get the principal transcript for a particular gene on a specific annotation and patch version of an assembly, accessing interval objects for each of its coding regions, UTRs, exons, introns, etc. These interval objects can further be expanded, intersected, have variants applied to them, etc.

In addition, GenomeKit includes a variety of APIs to open and process the contents of standard data file types (gff3, fasta, etc). GenomeKit's data formats that are highly optimized and compressed for reduced I/O and efficient memory utilization.

This talk covers the use cases for GenomeKit, an overview of the API and main capabilities, techniques used to achieve GenomeKit's level of performance, and benchmarks comparing GenomeKit with similar libraries.

description: Microbiome research is an attractive direction for new course-based undergraduate research experiences (CURES), as sample collection is relatively straightforward and the resulting large datasets give students an opportunity to ask a variety of questions. Current research in microbiology requires scientists to synthesize a background of experimental design with computational and statistical analysis. Despite the need for collaborations between computer science and biology, current academic programs at the undergraduate level often do not provide sufficient practice in bioinformatics, biostatistics, and other intersections between the two fields. To address this situation we developed the Pipeline for Undergraduate Microbiome Analysis (PUMA), which combines previously published processes and tools for microbiome research with a set of custom “plug and play” python scripts for processing 16S sequencing data from a variety of sources. We also developed accompanying instructional modules and video tutorials to teach students both the theory behind the analysis tools and the skills for needed for visualizing and interpreting biostatistical data. We hypothesized that students using PUMA would be able to formulate and statistically test hypotheses linking environmental parameters (metadata) to diversity metrics, community composition, and inferred functional profiles. PUMA was assessed using entry/exit surveys and reflection questions designed to gauge the students’ comfort with integrating computational analysis with microbiology, and the Statistical Reasoning in Biology Concept Inventory (SRBCI). Preliminary qualitative analysis of surveys and reflection questions saw an increase in students’ self-reported confidence levels in using the analysis tools. Students assessed also improved their competencies with biostatistics as demonstrated by the 10.5% improvement in the average score on the SRBCI. PUMA takes 16S sequencing data and seamlessly transitions to a suite of programs for microbiome data visualization and analysis, all of which are easily accessible to undergraduates without command line experience.

description: Recent neutron scattering measurements indicate that NaFe$_{1-x}$Cu$_{x}$As forms an antiferromagnetic stripe phase near $x\approx 0.5$ in a Mott insulating state. This copper concentration is well in excess of that required for superconductivity, $x < 0.04$. We have investigated the development of magnetism in this compound using $^{23}$Na nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra and spin-lattice relaxation measurements performed on single crystals ($x$ = 0.13, 0.18, 0.24, and 0.39). We find multiple inequivalent Na sites, each of which is associated with a different number of nearest neighbor Fe sites occupied by a Cu dopant. We show that the distribution of Cu substituted for Fe is random in-plane for low concentrations ($x = 0.13$ and 0.18), but deviates from this with increasing Cu doping. As is characteristic of many pnictide compounds, there is a spin pseudo gap that increases in magnitude with dopant concentration. This is correlated with a corresponding increase in orbital NMR frequency shift indicating a change in valence from Cu$^{2+}$ to a Cu$^{1+}$ state as $x$ exceeds 0.18, concomitant with the change of Fe$^{2+}$ to Fe$^{3+}$ resulting in the formation of magnetic clusters. However, for $x\leq 0.39$ there is no evidence of long-range static magnetic order.

description: Neuropsychiatric disorders involve changes in brain cellular and molecular composition. For instance, in clinical settings, cortical neuron loss is a key feature of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, due to the inherent challenges of obtaining diagnostic biopsies from human brains, it becomes difficult to systematically explore disease-related changes in cell type proportions. Consequently, this limitation significantly hinders the development of effective therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. While little research has addressed how pathological burdens affect specific cell types, single-cell transcriptomics offers promising post-mortem brain tissue profiling, revealing signals linked to neuropathology. This has highlighted GABAergic neurons, particularly somatostatin cells, as crucial in neurodegeneration.
 The ultimate goal of my project is to identify the genetic factors governing the selective cell-type vulnerabilities across individuals. I further aim to understand how these same genetic variants also contribute risk to diverse neuropsychiatric traits. Thus, my central hypothesis is that the selective vulnerability of different neuronal subtypes will be associated with distinct genetic risk factors which further contribute risk to neuropsychiatric disordres. Specifically, I aim to understand how cell type proportions change during the course of neuropsychiatric diseases, and which genetic variants contribute to the specific cell type loss. Then, by correlating the shared genetic variants with diverse neuropsychiatric traits, I can use those as indicators for inferring the casual relationship between cell type proportion changes and neuropsychiatric disorders.

description: The recent measurements of the power spectrum of Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies are consistent with the simplest inflationary scenario and big bang nucleosynthesis constraints. However, these results rely on the assumption of a class of models based on primordial adiabatic perturbations, cold dark matter and a cosmological constant. In this paper we investigate the need for deviations from the $Λ$-CDM scenario by first characterizing the spectrum using a phenomenological function in a 15 dimensional parameter space. Using a Monte Carlo Markov chain approach to Bayesian inference and a low curvature model template we then check for the presence of new physics and/or systematics in the CMB data. We find an almost perfect consistency between the phenomenological fits and the standard $Λ$-CDM models. The improved spectral resolution expected from future satellite experiments is warranted for a definitive test of the scenario.

description: Numerous quantum technologies make use of a microgravity environment e.g. in space. Operating in this extreme environment makes high demands on the experiment and especially the laser system regarding miniaturization and power consumption as well as mechanical and thermal stability. In our systems, optical modules consisting of ZERODUR based optical benches with free-space optics are combined with fiber components. Suitability of the technology has been demonstrated in the successful sounding rocket missions FOKUS, KALEXUS and MAIUS-1. Here, we report on our toolkit for stable optical benches including mounts, fixed and adjustable mirrors as well as polarization maintaining fiber collimators and couplers made from ZERODUR. As an example, we present the optical modules for the scientific rocket payload of MAIUS-2, a quantum gas experiment performing dual-species atom interferometry with Bose-Einstein condensates. The modules are used on the one hand to stabilize the laser frequencies and on the other hand to distribute, overlap and switch the laser beams. This includes the overlap and joint fiber coupling of beams at 767nm and 780nm in the same polarization state to cool and manipulate atoms of both species simultaneously. Future projects include the development of a platform for experiments with cold atoms onboard the International Space Station. The laser system again involves ZERODUR based optical benches in conjunction with fiber optical components. The experiment is planned as multi-user facility and currently in the design phase. The next step is to build the training, test and flight hardware.

Making Women: A Look at the Darker Messages of Cosmetics
Creators: LePage, Zoe
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Psychology
subject: FOS: Psychology

description: Makeup is worn by many women on a daily basis and yet the messages behind makeup and the effects these messages have on how women see themselves remain largely unexamined. Makeup is an important way in which young girls are initiated into the role of proper women and reinforces the belief that a woman’s body is something to be examined and judged. Furthermore, makeup suggests to women that their physical appearance is naturally flawed and therefore needs to be concealed or altered. Such messages deny women the opportunity to be their authentic selves. Makeup is often described as a enjoyable pursuit for women but a deeper look reveals makeup’s close connection to patriarchy. These darker themes are nowhere as prevalent as with aging products. Aging is cast as a disease and the cosmetic industry capitalizes on the anxiety it creates in order to sell women expensive beauty products. This research merits further attention in order to understand what thoughts motivate women to use makeup and the anxieties created when women are denied the use of makeup.
Energy losses by gravitational radiation in inspiralling compact binaries to five halves post-Newtonian order

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper derives the total power or energy loss rate generated in the form of gravitational waves by an inspiralling compact binary system to the five halves post-Newtonian (2.5PN) approximation of general relativity. Extending a recently developed gravitational-wave generation formalism valid for arbitrary (slowly-moving) systems, we compute the mass multipole moments of the system and the relevant tails present in the wave zone to 2.5PN order. In the case of two point-masses moving on a quasi-circular orbit, we find that the 2.5PN contribution in the energy loss rate is entirely due to tails. Relying on an energy balance argument we derive the laws of variation of the instantaneous frequency and phase of the binary. The 2.5PN order in the accumulated phase is significantly large, being grossly of the same order of magnitude as the previous 2PN order, but opposite in sign. However finite mass effects at 2.5PN order are small. The results of this paper should be useful when analyzing the data from inspiralling compact binaries in future gravitational-wave detectors like VIRGO and LIGO.

Making it Count: Statistics and State-Society Relations in the Early People's Republic of China, 1949-1959

description: This dissertation offers new perspectives on China's transition to socialism by investigating a fundamental question--how did the state build capacity to know the nation through numbers? With the establishment of the People's Republic in 1949, jubilant Chinese revolutionaries were confronted by the dual challenge of a nearly nonexistent statistical infrastructure and the pressing need to escape the universalist claims of capitalist statistics. At stake for revolutionary statisticians and economists was a fundamental difficulty: how to accurately ascertain social scientific fact. Resolving this difficulty involved not just epistemological and theoretical debates on the unity or disunity of statistical science but also practical considerations surrounding state-capacity building. The resultant shift toward a socialist definition of statistics, achieved by explicitly following the Soviet Union's example, was instrumental in shaping new bureaus, designing statistical work, and training personnel. New classificatory schemes and methods of data collection also raised issues of authority and policy, ultimately not just remolding state-society relations but also informing new conceptions of everyday life and work. By the mid-1950s, however, growing disaffection with the efficacy of Soviet methods led the Chinese, in a surprising turn of events, to seek out Indian statisticians in an unprecedented instance of Chinese participation in South-South scientific exchange. At the heart of these exchanges was the desire to learn more about large-scale random sampling, an emergent statistical technology, which, while technically complex, held great practical salience for large countries like China and India.
      "Making it Count" engages with and contributes to scholarship on the history of modern China and on the global and Cold War histories of science and social science. While the historiography on statistics and quantification has focused primarily on the early-modern and nineteenth century world, the dissertation brings this history into the twentieth century, when states, multi-national institutions, and private actors, regardless of their ideological hue, mobilized statistics on behalf of positivist social science and statecraft. By examining the collection and deployment of data, a process critical to the ambitions of the revolutionary PRC state but one that has largely been overlooked in the historical literature, the dissertation also provides an alternative account for a decade often portrayed as lurching from one mass campaign to another. Finally, the examination of the Sino-Indian statistical links reveals that pioneering innovation took place in many contexts after 1945 and challenges Cold War paradigms that are predisposed to assume the United States or the Soviet Union as the primary nodes from which scientific and other forms of modern knowledge emanated.
Abelian Unipotent Subgroups of Reductive Groups

Subjects: subject: Representation Theory (math.RT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Let G be a connected reductive group defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, when p is a good prime, we give a new proof of the ``order formula'' of D. Testerman for unipotent elements in G; moreover, we show that the same formula determines the p-nilpotence degree of the corresponding nilpotent elements in the Lie algebra of G. Second, if G is semisimple and p is sufficiently large, we show that G always has a faithful representation (r,V) with the property that the exponential of dr(X) lies in r(G) for each p-nilpotent X in Lie(G). This property permits a simplification of the description given by Suslin, Friedlander, and Bendel of the (even) cohomology ring for the Frobenius kernels G_d, d > 1. The previous authors already observed that the natural representation of a classical group has the above property (with no restriction on p). Our methods apply to any Chevalley group and hence give the result also for quasisimple groups with ``exceptional type'' root systems. The methods give explicit sufficient conditions on p; for an adjoint semisimple G with Coxeter number h, the condition p > 2h -2 is always good enough.

Consistent Resolution of Some Relativistic Quantum Paradoxes

description: A relativistic version of the (consistent or decoherent) histories approach to quantum theory is developed on the basis of earlier work by Hartle, and used to discuss relativistic forms of the paradoxes of spherical wave packet collapse, Bohm's formulation of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen, and Hardy's paradox. It is argued that wave function collapse is not needed for introducing probabilities into relativistic quantum mechanics, and in any case should never be thought of as a physical process. Alternative approaches to stochastic time dependence can be used to construct a physical picture of the measurement process that is less misleading than collapse models. In particular, one can employ a coarse-grained but fully quantum mechanical description in which particles move along trajectories, with behavior under Lorentz transformations the same as in classical relativistic physics, and detectors are triggered by particles reaching them along such trajectories. States entangled between spacelike separate regions are also legitimate quantum descriptions, and can be consistently handled by the formalism presented here. The paradoxes in question arise because of using modes of reasoning which, while correct for classical physics, are inconsistent with the mathematical structure of quantum theory, and are resolved (or tamed) by using a proper quantum analysis. In particular, there is no need to invoke, nor any evidence for, mysterious long-range superluminal influences, and thus no incompatibility, at least from this source, between relativity theory and quantum mechanics.

description: The 4MOST instrument is a multi-object spectrograph that will address Galactic and extragalactic science cases simultaneously by observing targets from a large number of different surveys within each science exposure. This parallel mode of operation and the survey nature of 4MOST require some distinct 4MOST-specific operational features within the overall operations model of ESO. The main feature is that the 4MOST Consortium will deliver, not only the instrument, but also contractual services to the user community, which is why 4MOST is also described as a facility. This white paper concentrates on information particularly useful to answering the forthcoming Call for Letters of Intent.
