description: Large scale monitoring projects establish standardized protocols in order to capture information

that can be comparable regardless of the spatial scales, the number of researchers involved, or

other factors.

Typically, sampling effort is chosen based on power analysis, however this implies reducing multi-

variate data to a single dimension. Here, we present an assessment of the multivariate precision

for a series of coral community surveys conducted in multiple locations of Venezuela between

2017 and 2018; and an evaluation of consequence of using a different combinations of number

of points, quadrats, and transects over the multivariate precision

description: It has recently been speculated that the end state of a collapsing universe is a tachyonic big crunch. The time reversal of this process would be the emergence of an expanding universe from a tachyonic big bang. In this framework, we study the emergence of cosmological fluctuations. In particular, we compare the amplitude of the perturbations at tne end of the tachyon phase with what would be obtained assuming the usual vacuum initial conditions. We find that cosmological fluctuations emerge in a thermal state. We comment on the relation to the trans-Planckian problem of inflationary cosmology.

The Sliding Window Discrete Fourier Transform
Creators: name: Richardson, Lee
Publisher: name: Figshare
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Statistics
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is a widely used tool across science and engineering. Nevertheless, the DFT assumes that the frequency characteristics of a signal remain constant over time, and is unable to detect local changes. Researchers beginning with Gabor (1946) addressed this shortcoming by inventing methods to obtain time-frequency representations, and this thesis focuses on one such method: the Sliding Window Discrete Fourier Transform (SWDFT). Whereas the DFT operates on an entire signal, the SWDFT takes an ordered sequence of smaller DFTs on contiguous subsets of a signal. The SWDFT is a fundamental tool in time-frequency analysis, and is used in a variety of applications, such as spectrogram estimation, image enhancement, neural networks, and more. This thesis studies the SWDFT from three perspectives: algorithmic, statistical, and applied. Algorithmically, we introduce the Tree SWDFT algorithm, and extend it to arbitrary dimensions. Statistically, we
derive the marginal distribution and covariance structure of SWDFT coefficients for white noise signals, which allows us to characterize the SWDFT coefficients as a Gaussian process with a known covariance. We also propose a localized version of cosine regression, and show that the approximate maximum likelihood estimate of the frequency parameter in this model is the maximum SWDFT coefficient over all possible window sizes. From an applied perspective, we introduce a new algorithm to decompose signals with multiple non-stationary periodic components, called matching demodulation. We demonstrate the utility of matching demodulation in an analysis of local field potential recordings from a neuroscience experiment.

description: Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities allow energy to be released from stressed magnetic fields, commonly modelled in cylindrical flux tubes linking parallel planes, but, more recently, also in curved arcades containing flux tubes with both footpoints in the same photospheric plane. Uncurved cylindrical flux tubes containing multiple individual threads have been shown to be capable of sustaining an MHD avalanche, whereby a single unstable thread can destabilise many. We examine the properties of multi-threaded coronal loops, wherein each thread is created by photospheric driving in a realistic, curved coronal arcade structure (with both footpoints of each thread in the same plane). We use three-dimensional MHD simulations to study the evolution of single- and multi-threaded coronal loops, which become unstable and reconnect, while varying the driving velocity of individual threads. Experiments containing a single thread destabilise in a manner indicative of an ideal MHD instability and consistent with previous examples in the literature. The introduction of additional threads modifies this picture, with aspects of the model geometry and relative driving speeds of individual threads affecting the ability of any thread to destabilise others. In both single- and multi-threaded cases, continuous driving of the remnants of disrupted threads produces secondary, aperiodic bursts of energetic release.

The new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, and structural aspects were further elucidated by DFT calculations. The unprecedented metallacyclic structure of 3 was ascertained by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The air-stable compounds (3, 4a–d, 5a–b, 6) display fair to good stability in aqueous media, and thus were assessed for their cytotoxic activity towards A2780, A2780cisR, and HEK-293 cell lines. Cyclic voltammetry, ROS production and NADH oxidation studies were carried out on selected compounds to give insights into their mode of action.

description: We use a coarse grained solvent model to study the self assembly of two nano-scale hydrophobic particles in water. We show how solvent degrees of freedom are involved in the process. By using tools of transition path sampling, we elucidate the reaction coordinates describing the assembly. In accord with earlier expectations, we find that fluctuations of the liquid-vapor-like interface surrounding the solutes are significant, in this case leading to the formation of a vapor tunnel between the two solute particles. This tunnel accelerates assembly. While considering this specific model system, the approach we use illustrates a methodology that is broadly applicable.

Survey of teenage drinking patterns in school district #36 (Surrey), British Columbia
Creators: name: Cleathero, Bernard Stuart
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Many parents and teachers are expressing concern about the drinking habits of our teenage population. At the present time there is little information available on the amount of drinking, frequency of drinking and with whom teenagers drink. The purpose of this study was to obtain as much information as was practically possible about the drinking patterns of Surrey high school students. The study utilized the single survey method to obtain information. A random sample of students was drawn from 15 Junior Secondary, Secondary and Senior Secondary schools within school district #36 (Surrey), British Columbia. 2485 letters were sent out and consequently 1013 students completed the questionnaires. 90.9% of the students surveyed had used alcohol at some time in their lives, with beer being the most regularly consumed alcoholic beverage. 27.8% of students drank to the point of being drunk, 32.4% drank once or twice a month and a further 30.3% every weekend. Parents played a role in introducing students to their first drink. They also drank with them and acted as a source of supply. 70.4% of students felt their drinking practices had no effect on their lives. Crosstabulations demonstrated there were certain different drinking practices among students when age, sex, type of school and demographic area were taken into consideration. Finally, conclusions were drawn and suggestions were mad regarding society's responsibilities towards our teenage population and their alcohol consumption habits.

description: Conceptual Graphs (CGs) are a formalism to represent knowledge. However producing a CG database is complex. To the best of our knowledge, existing methods do not fully use the expressivity of CGs. It is particularly troublesome as it is necessary to have CG databases to test and validate algorithms running on CGs. This paper proposes CG2A, an algorithm to build synthetic CGs exploiting most of their expressivity. CG2A takes as input constraints that constitute ontological knowledge including a vocabulary and a set of CGs with some label variables, called $γ$-CGs, as components of the generated CGs. Extensions also enable the automatic generation of the set of $γ$-CGs and vocabulary to ease the database generation and increase variability.

description: Renewable energy plays an important role in the transition to a low emission society, yet in many regions energy projects have resulted in increasing societal polarization. Based on a comprehensive literature review and a survey among stakeholders from specific regions in Germany, Italy, Latvia, Norway, Poland and Spain with little prior experience with wind energy, we highlight six categories of factors that shape community acceptance of onshore wind energy development: technical characteristics of wind energy projects, environmental impacts, economic impacts, societal impacts, contextual factors and individual characteristics. We identify key similarities in acceptance-related patterns of wind energy development across the selected regions, but also important differences, highlighting the very context-specific nature of community acceptance. The findings contribute to improving the understanding of the forces, factors and relationships at play between policy frameworks and perceptions of wind energy under different conditions. We conclude by proposing policy recommendations regarding measures to increase the positive impacts and reduce the negative impacts of wind energy projects, and to strengthen existing drivers and reduce barriers to community acceptance of wind energy development.

description: This contribution examines the concept of public goods,responding to calls to rethink public goods given a changedcontext (Desai, 2003: 73) and widening global scope (Kaulet al, 2003; Kaul, 2006). The first section explores publicgoods as a concept framed in terms of economic efficiency and market failure . The next section notes atransition from market-failure to state-failure theory, leavingpublic goods at an impasse. The discussion comparesdiffering perspectives and assumptions about the role andcharacter of individual and collective action, public serviceand government. It examines the contention that efficientmarkets may not do (Bator, 1958; Bozeman, 2002),contrasting mainstream economics concerns with marketfailure with alternative ideas of public-value failure (Bozeman, 2002; Haglund, 2010) and obnoxious markets (Kanbur, 2001). The following section identifies alternativeeconomic traditions and looks to a new conceptualisationof public goods. Adapting global public goods theory, a new public goods approach represents a departure fromconventional economics. It supplements the ideas of analternative, or other , economic canon with democraticconcerns and questions of public value . The conclusionconsiders proposals for public goods based on this newapproach and some policy implications that might follow.

description: A model based on the aspect of the distribution of the length of conduction paths accessible for electric charge flow reproduces the universal power-law dispersive ac conductivity observed in polymer networks and, generally, in disordered matter. Power exponents larger than unity observed in some cases are physically acceptable within this model. A saturation high frequency region is also predicted, in agreement with experimental results. There does not exist a universal fractional power law (and is useless searching for a unique common critical exponent), but a qualitative universal behavior of the ac conductivity in disordered media.

description: This paper addresses the question of how firms react to tax incentives in a formula apportionment (FA) tax regime. Under FA, the profits of all consolidated entities of a business group are summed and then allocated according to a formula based on FA factors. We hypothesize that firms may change the allocation of real production factors and/or manipulate the FA factor through tax avoidance strategies. Analysing FA tax effects of the German local business tax with payroll expense as the exclusive FA factor, we find empirical evidence consistent with both hypotheses. Regarding the allocation of production factors, we observe significant tax effects on labour input at the intensive margin but not on labour input at the extensive margin. In addition, we find evidence of an indirect FA spillover effect on capital investment. Our findings on tax avoidance proxies are consistent with tax-induced manipulations of payroll expense as an FA factor to save tax payments.

description: Data-driven research on the automated discovery and repair of security vulnerabilities in source code requires comprehensive datasets of real-life vulnerable code and their fixes. To assist in such research, we propose a method to automatically collect and curate a comprehensive vulnerability dataset from Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) records in the public National Vulnerability Database (NVD). We implement our approach in a fully automated dataset collection tool and share an initial release of the resulting vulnerability dataset named CVEfixes. The CVEfixes collection tool automatically fetches all available CVE records from the NVD, gathers the vulnerable code and corresponding fixes from associated open-source repositories, and organizes the collected information in a relational database. Moreover, the dataset is enriched with meta-data such as programming language, and detailed code and security metrics at five levels of abstraction. The collection can easily be repeated to keep up-to-date with newly discovered or patched vulnerabilities. The initial release of CVEfixes spans all published CVEs up to 9 June 2021, covering 5365 CVE records for 1754 open-source projects that were addressed in a total of 5495 vulnerability fixing commits. CVEfixes supports various types of data-driven software security research, such as vulnerability prediction, vulnerability classification, vulnerability severity prediction, analysis of vulnerability-related code changes, and automated vulnerability repair.

description: The mu opioid receptor (MOR) is the primary target for analgesia of endogenous opioid peptides, alkaloids, synthetic small molecules with diverse scaffolds, and peptidomimetics. Peptide-based opioids are viewed as potential analgesics with reduced side effects and have received constant scientific interest over the years. This study focuses on three potent peptide and peptidomimetic MOR agonists, DALDA, [Dmt1]DALDA, and KGOP01, and the prototypical peptide MOR agonist DAMGO. We present the first molecular modeling study and structure–activity relationships aided by in vitro assays and molecular docking of the opioid peptide analogues, in order to gain insight into their mode of binding to the MOR. In vitro binding and functional assays revealed the same rank order with KGOP01 > [Dmt1]DALDA > DAMGO > DALDA for both binding and MOR activation. Using molecular docking at the MOR and three-dimensional interaction pattern analysis, we have rationalized the experimental outcomes and highlighted key amino acid residues responsible for agonist binding to the MOR. The Dmt (2′,6′-dimethyl-L-Tyr) moiety of [Dmt1]DALDA and KGOP01 was found to represent the driving force for their high potency and agonist activity at the MOR. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of MOR function and flexible peptide ligand–MOR interactions, that are of significant relevance for the future design of opioid peptide-based analgesics.

description: One of the hallmarks of cancer cells is their exceptional ability to migrate within the extracellular matrix (ECM) for gaining access to the circulatory system, a critical step of cancer metastasis. RhoA, a small GTPase, is known to be a key molecular switch that toggles between actomyosin contractility and lamellipodial protrusion during cell migration. Current understanding of RhoA activity in cell migration has been largely derived from studies of cells plated on a two-dimensional (2D) substrate using a FRET biosensor. There has been increasing evidence that cells behave differently in a more physiologically relevant three-dimensional (3D) environment, however, studies of RhoA activities in 3D have been hindered by low signal-to-noise ratio in fluorescence imaging. In this paper, we present a machine learning-assisted FRET technique to follow the spatiotemporal dynamics of RhoA activities of single breast tumor cells (MDA-MB-231) migrating in a 3D as well as a 2D environment using a RhoA biosensor. We found that RhoA activity is more polarized along the long axis of the cell for single cells migrating on 2D fibronectin-coated glass versus those embedded in 3D collagen matrices. In particular, RhoA activities of cells in 2D exhibit a distinct front-to-back and back-to-front movement during migration in contrast to those in 3D. Finally, regardless of dimensionality, RhoA polarization is found to be correlated with cell shape.

description: Brucellosis is a global zoonosis caused by Gram-negative, facultative intracellular bacteria of the genus Brucella (B.). Proteomics has been used to investigate a few B. melitensis and B. abortus strains, but data for other species and biovars are limited. Hence, a comprehensive analysis of proteomes will significantly contribute to understanding the enigmatic biology of brucellae. For direct identification and typing of Brucella, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization—time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI—TOF MS) has become a reliable tool for routine diagnosis due to its ease of handling, price and sensitivity highlighting the potential of proteome-based techniques. Proteome analysis will also help to overcome the historic but still notorious Brucella obstacles of infection medicine, the lack of safe and protective vaccines and sensitive serologic diagnostic tools by identifying the most efficient protein antigens. This perspective summarizes past and recent developments in Brucella proteomics with a focus on species identification and serodiagnosis. Future applications of proteomics in these fields are discussed.

description: We have determined the magnetic structure of the low-temperature incommensurate phase of multiferroic YMn2O5 using single-crystal neutron diffraction. By employing corepresentation analysis, we have ensured full compliance with both symmetry and physical constraints, so that the electrical polarization must lie along the b axis, as observed. The evolution of the spin components and propagation through the commensurate-incommensurate phase boundary points unambiguously at the exchange-striction mechanism as the primary driving force for ferroelectricity.

description: Crowd counting on the drone platform is an interesting topic in computer vision, which brings new challenges such as small object inference, background clutter and wide viewpoint. However, there are few algorithms focusing on crowd counting on the drone-captured data due to the lack of comprehensive datasets. To this end, we collect a large-scale dataset and organize the Vision Meets Drone Crowd Counting Challenge (VisDrone-CC2020) in conjunction with the 16th European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV 2020) to promote the developments in the related fields. The collected dataset is formed by $3,360$ images, including $2,460$ images for training, and $900$ images for testing. Specifically, we manually annotate persons with points in each video frame. There are $14$ algorithms from $15$ institutes submitted to the VisDrone-CC2020 Challenge. We provide a detailed analysis of the evaluation results and conclude the challenge.

description: We study the intrinsic orbital magnetization (OM) in antiferromagnets on the distorted face-centered-cubic lattice. The combined lattice distortion and spin frustration induce nontrivial $k$-space Chern invariant, which turns to result in profound effects on the OM properties. We derive a specific relation between the OM and the Hall conductivity, according to which it is found that the intrinsic OM vanishes when the electron chemical potential lies in the Mott gap. The distinct behavior of the intrinsic OM in the metallic and insulating regions is shown. The Berry phase effects on the thermoelectric transport is also discussed.

description: High dimensionality continues to be a challenge in computational systems biology. The kinetic models of many phenomena of interest are high-dimensional and complex, resulting in large computational effort in the simulation. Model order reduction (MOR) is a mathematical technique that is used to reduce the computational complexity of high-dimensional systems by approximation with lower dimensional systems, while retaining the important information and properties of the full order system. Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is a method based on Galerkin projection that can be used for reducing the model order. POD is considered an optimal linear approach since it obtains the minimum squared distance between the original model and its reduced representation. However, POD may represent a restriction for nonlinear systems. By applying the POD method for nonlinear systems, the complexity to solve the nonlinear term still remains that of the full order model. To overcome the complexity for nonlinear terms in the dynamical system, an approach called the discrete empirical interpolation method (DEIM) can be used. In this paper, we discuss model reduction by POD and DEIM to reduce the order of kinetic models of biological systems and illustrate the approaches on some examples. Additional computational costs for setting up the reduced order system pay off for large-scale systems. In general, a reduced model should not be expected to yield good approximations if different initial conditions are used from that used to produce the reduced order model. We used the POD method of a kinetic model with different initial conditions to compute the reduced model. This reduced order model is able to predict the full order model for a variety of different initial conditions.

On estimating the change point in generalized linear models

description: Statistical models incorporating change points are common in practice, especially in the area of biomedicine. This approach is appealing in that a specific parameter is introduced to account for the abrupt change in the response variable relating to a particular independent variable of interest. The statistical challenge one encounters is that the likelihood function is not differentiable with respect to this change point parameter. Consequently, the conventional asymptotic properties for the maximum likelihood estimators fail to hold in this situation. In this paper, we propose an estimating procedure for estimating the change point along with other regression coefficients under the generalized linear model framework. We show that the proposed estimators enjoy the conventional asymptotic properties including consistency and normality. Simulation work we conducted suggests that it performs well for the situations considered. We applied the proposed method to a case-control study aimed to examine the relationship between the risk of myocardial infarction and alcohol intake.

description: Background: Linezolid is used for the treatment of soft tissue infections in critically ill patients. However, data for characterizing the pharmacokinetics (PK) and assessing whether effective concentrations are reached at the target site are lacking. We hypothesized that current dosing regimens do not lead to effective concentrations in the plasma and interstitial fluid (ISF) of subcutaneous tissue in obese patients. Methods: As a controlled clinical model, critically ill obese and non-obese patients undergoing intra-abdominal surgery received 600 mg linezolid as a single infusion. Concentrations in the plasma and microdialysate from the ISF of subcutaneous tissue were determined up to 8 h after dosing. Pharmacokinetic analysis was performed by non-compartmental methods. As a therapeutic target, we used fAUC/MIC > 80. Results: Fifteen obese (BMI: 48.7 ± 11.2 kg/m2) and 15 non-obese (23.9 ± 2.1 kg/m2) patients were analyzed. AUC0–8 in ISF decreased by −1.69 mg*h/L (95% CI: −2.59 to −0.79, p < 0.001) for every 10 kg increase in weight. PK in obese patients were characterized by lower maximal plasma concentrations (median 3.8 vs. 8.3 mg/L, p < 0.001) and a higher volume of distribution (41.0 vs. 30.8 L, p < 0.001), and the therapeutic target was not reached for MIC ≥ 1 mg/L in ISF and ≥ 2 mg/L in plasma. Conclusions: Increasing the weight led to a decrease of linezolid concentrations in the plasma and subcutaneous tissue. The current dosing regimen does not seem to produce sufficient concentrations to kill bacteria with MIC ≥ 2 mg/L, especially as empirical antimicrobial therapy in critically ill obese patients.
