description: In this thesis, we focus on building reliable hybrid human-machine classifiers to be deployed in cost-sensitive classification tasks. The objective is to assess ML quality in hybrid classification contexts and design the appropriate metrics, thereby knowing whether we can trust the model predictions and identifying the subset of items on which the model is well-calibrated and trustworthy. We start by discussing the key concepts, research questions, challenges, and architecture to design and implement an effective hybrid classification service. We then present a deeper investigation of each service component along with our solutions and results. We mainly contribute to cost-sensitive hybrid classification, selective classification, model calibration, and active learning. We highlight the importance of model calibration in hybrid classification services and propose novel approaches to improve the calibration of human-machine classifiers. In addition, we argue that the current accuracy-based metrics are misaligned with the actual value of machine learning models and propose a novel metric ``value". We further test the performance of SOTA machine learning models in NLP tasks with a cost-sensitive hybrid classification context. We show that the performance of the SOTA models in cost-sensitive tasks significantly drops when we evaluate them according to value rather than accuracy. Finally, we investigate the quality of hybrid classifiers in the active learning scenarios. We review the existing active learning strategies, evaluate their effectiveness, and propose a novel value-aware active learning strategy to improve the performance of selective classifiers in the active learning of cost-sensitive tasks.

description: Maternal nutrition and diet have been suggested to play a role in many conditions of her offspring. Studies using food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) have reported associations with maternal diet, but these findings are difficult to interpret because the reliability and validity of the FFQs for diet during a past pregnancy are not known. We determined the reproducibility of reported diet and supplement use during a past pregnancy in a subset of mothers interviewed for a case-control study of maternal diet in relation to risk of childhood brain tumors. Cases were Children’s Oncology Group patients, diagnosed at age <6 with medulloblastoma or primitive neuroectodermal tumor from 1991–1997. Area code, race/ethnicity, and birth date matched controls were selected by random-digit-dialing. Case and control mothers completed a modified Willett FFQ a mean of five years after the index child’s birth. A mean of 3.6 months later, a subset of mothers consisting of 52 case and 51 control mothers repeated the interview and comprise the reproducibility study population. The mean intra class correlation (ICC) was 0.59 (range 0.41, 0.69) for energy- adjusted nutrients from dietary sources only; it was 0.41 (range −0.06, 0.70) when supplements were included. Agreement for reporting multivitamin use during pregnancy by time period and pattern was good to very good (kappa= 0.66 to 0.85). Overall, the reproducibility of nutrient estimates and supplement use in pregnancy was good and similar to that reported for adult diet.
On the potentially dramatic history of the super-Earth rho 55 Cancri e

description: We demonstrate that tidal evolution of the inner planet (`e') of the system orbiting the star rho 55 Cancri could have led to passage through two secular resonances with other planets in the system. The consequence of this evolution is excitation of both the planetary eccentricity and inclination relative to the original orbital plane. The large mass ratio between the innermost planet and the others means that these excitations can be of substantial amplitude and can have dramatic consequences for the system organisation. Such evolution can potentially explain the large observed mutual inclination between the innermost and outermost planets in the system, and implies that tidal heating could have substantially modified the structure of planet e, and possibly reduced its mass by Roche lobe overflow. Similar inner secular resonances may be found in many multiple planet systems and suggest that many of the innermost planets in these systems could have suffered similar evolutions.

description: In the last years, Genome-Wide Associations Studies (GWAS) found many variants associated with complex diseases. However, the biological and molecular links between these variants and phenotypes are still mostly unknown. Also, even if sample sizes are constantly increasing, the associated variants do not explain all the heritability estimated for many traits. Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain the problem: from variant-variant interactions, the effect of rare and ultra-rare coding variants and also technical biases related to sequencing or statistic on sexual chromosomes. In this thesis, we mainly explore the hypothesis of variant-variant interaction and, briefly, the rare coding variants hypothesis while also considering possible molecular effects like allele-specific expression and the effects of variants on protein interfaces. Some parts of the thesis are also devoted to explore the implementation of efficient computational tools to explore these effects and to perform scalable genotyping of germline single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in huge datasets. The main part of the thesis regards the development of a new resource to identify putative variant-variant interactions. In particular, we integrated ChIP-seq data from ENCODE, transcription factor binding motifs from several resources and genotype and transcript level data from GTeX and TCGA. This new dataset allows us to formalize new models, to make hypothesis and to find putative novel associations and interactions between (mainly non-coding) germline variants and phenotypes, like cancer-specific phenotypes. In particular, we focused on the characterization of breast cancer and Alzheimer’s Disease GWAS risk variants, looking for putative variants’ interactions. Recently, the study of rare variants has become feasible thanks to the biobanks that made available genotypes and clinical data of thousands of patients. We characterize and explore the possible effects of rare coding inherited polymorphisms on protein interfaces in the UKBioBank trying to understand if the change in structure of protein can be one of the causes of complex diseases. Another part of the thesis explores variants as causal molecular effect for allele-specific expression. In particular, we describe UTRs variants that can alter the post-transcriptional regulation in mRNA leading to a phenomenon where an allele is more expressed than the other. Finally, we show those variants can have prognostic significance in breast cancer. This thesis work introduces results and computational tools that can be useful to a broad community of researcher studying human polymorphisms effects.

description: We consider two schematic models of glasses subjected to oscillatory shear deformation, motivated by the observations, in computer simulations of a model glass, of a nonequilibrium transition from a localized to a diffusive regime as the shear amplitude is increased, and of persistent memory effects in the localized regime. The first of these schematic models is the NK model, a spin model with disordered multi-spin interactions previously studied as a model for sheared amorphous solids. The second model, a transition matrix model, is an abstract formulation of the manner in which occupancy of local energy minima evolves under oscillatory deformation cycles. In both of these models, we find a behavior similar to that of an atomic model glass studied earlier. We discuss possible further extensions of the approaches outlined.

description: Dried blood spots (DBS) are collected uniformly from US newborns to test for metabolic and other disorders. Because evidence exists for prenatal origins of some diseases, DBS may provide unique prenatal exposure records. Some states retain residual DBS and permit their use in aetiological studies. The primary study aim was to assess the feasibility of obtaining residual DBS from state newborn screening programmes for paediatric and adolescent cancer patients nationwide with parental/subject consent/assent. Families of leukaemia and lymphoma patients aged ≤21 years diagnosed from 1998 to 2007 at randomly selected Children's Oncology Group institutions across the US were questioned (n = 947). Parents/guardians and patients aged ≥18 years were asked to release DBS to investigators in spring 2009. DBS were then requested from states. Overall, 299 families (32%) released DBS. Consenting/assenting patients were born in 39 US states and 46 DBS were obtained from five states; 124 DBS were unobtainable because patients were born prior to dates of state retention. State policies are rapidly evolving and there is ongoing discussion regarding DBS storage and secondary research uses. Currently, population-based DBS studies can be conducted in a limited number of states; fortunately, many have large populations to provide reasonably sized paediatric subject groups.

description: We analyse the self-diffusiophoresis of a spherical particle animated by a nonuniform chemical reaction at its boundary. We consider two models of solute absorption, one with a specified distribution of interfacial solute flux, and one where this flux is governed by first-order kinetics with a specified distribution of rate constant. We employ a macroscale model where the short-range interaction of the solute with the particle boundary is represented by an effective slip condition. The solute transport is governed by an advection-diffusion equation. We focus upon the singular limit of large Péclet numbers, $Pe\gg 1$. In the fixed-flux model, the excess-solute concentration is confined to a narrow boundary layer. The scaling pertinent to that limit allows to decouple the problem governing the solute concentration from the flow field. The resulting nonlinear boundary-layer problem is handled using a transformation to stream-function coordinates and a subsequent application of Fourier transforms, and is thereby reduced to a nonlinear integral equation governing the interfacial concentration. Its solution provides the requisite approximation for the particle velocity, which scales as $Pe^{-1/3}$. In the fixed-rate model, large Péclet numbers may be realized in different limit processes. We consider the case of large swimmers or strong reaction, where the Damköhler number $Da$ is large as well, scaling as $Pe$. In that double limit, where no boundary layer is formed, we obtain a closed-form approximation for the particle velocity, expressed as a nonlinear functional of the rate-constant distribution; this velocity scales as $Pe^{-2}$. Both the fixed-flux and fixed-rate asymptotic predictions agree with the numerical values provided by computational solutions of the nonlinear transport problem.

description: This study examines the timing of menarche in relation to infant-feeding methods, specifically addressing the potential effects of soy isoflavone exposure through soy-based infant feeding. Subjects were participants in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC). Mothers were enrolled during pregnancy and their children have been followed prospectively. Early-life feeding regimes, categorised as primarily breast, early formula, early soy and late soy, were defined using infant-feeding questionnaires administered during infancy. For this analysis, age at menarche was assessed using questionnaires administered approximately annually between ages 8 and 14.5. Eligible subjects were limited to term, singleton, White females. We used Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazards models to assess age at menarche and risk of menarche over the study period. The present analysis included 2920 girls. Approximately 2% of mothers reported that soy products were introduced into the infant diet at or before 4 months of age (early soy). The median age at menarche [interquartile range (IQR)] in the study sample was 153 months [144-163], approximately 12.8 years. The median age at menarche among early soy-fed girls was 149 months (12.4 years) [IQR, 140-159]. Compared with girls fed non-soy-based infant formula or milk (early formula), early soy-fed girls were at 25% higher risk of menarche throughout the course of follow-up (hazard ratio 1.25 [95% confidence interval 0.92, 1.71]). Our results also suggest that girls fed soy products in early infancy may have an increased risk of menarche specifically in early adolescence. These findings may be the observable manifestation of mild endocrine-disrupting effects of soy isoflavone exposure. However, our study is limited by few soy-exposed subjects and is not designed to assess biological mechanisms. Because soy formula use is common in some populations, this subtle association with menarche warrants more in-depth evaluation in future studies.

description: Evolutionary game theory has been successful in describing phenomena from bacterial population dynamics to the evolution of social behaviour. However, it has typically focused on a single game describing the interactions between individuals. Organisms are simultaneously involved in many intraspecies and interspecies interactions. Therefore, there is a need to move from single games to multiple games. However, these interactions in nature involve many players. Shifting from two-player games to multiple multiplayer games yield richer dynamics closer to natural settings. Such a complete picture of multiple game dynamics (MGD), where multiple players are involved, was lacking. For multiple multiplayer games—where each game could have an arbitrary finite number of players and strategies, we provide a replicator equation for MGD having many players and strategies. We show that if the individual games involved have more than two strategies, then the combined dynamics cannot be understood by looking only at individual games. Expected dynamics from single games is no longer valid, and trajectories can possess different limiting behaviour. In the case of finite populations, we formulate and calculate an essential and useful stochastic property, fixation probability. Our results highlight that studying a set of interactions defined by a single game can be misleading if we do not take the broader setting of the interactions into account. Through our results and analysis, we thus discuss and advocate the development of evolutionary game(s) theory, which will help us disentangle the complexity of multiple interactions.

description: Cross sections for top quarks provide very interesting physics opportunities, being both sensitive to new physics and also perturbatively tractable due to the large top quark mass. Rigorous factorization theorems for top cross sections can be derived in several kinematic scenarios, including the boosted regime in the peak region that we consider here. In the context of the corresponding factorization theorem for $e^+e^-$ collisions we extract the last missing ingredient that is needed to evaluate the cross section differential in the jet-mass at two-loop order, namely the matching coefficient at the scale $μ\simeq m_t$. Our extraction also yields the final ingredients needed to carry out logarithmic resummation at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic order (or N$^3$LL if we ignore the missing 4-loop cusp anomalous dimension). This coefficient exhibits an amplitude level rapidity logarithm starting at $\mathcal{O}(α_s^2)$ due to virtual top quark loops, which we treat using rapidity renormalization group (RG) evolution. Interestingly, this rapidity RG evolution appears in the matching coefficient between two effective theories around the heavy quark mass scale $μ\simeq m_t$.

description: Studies on ethnic differences in risk of preeclampsia are limited. We linked birth records for 902,460 singleton births for the period 1995–2003 in New York City with hospital discharge data to evaluate the association between ethnicity and the risk of preeclampsia and compare risks between US-born and foreign-born women. Logistic regression models adjusted for maternal age, maternal education, parity, self-reported prepregnancy maternal weight, smoking during pregnancy, and year of delivery, were used to estimate the adjusted odds ratios of preeclampsia and 95% confidence intervals, comparing each ethnic group to non-Hispanic white women. The prevalence of preeclampsia in this study population was 3.2%. Among the major ethnic groups considered in our study, East Asian women had the lowest risk of preeclampsia (1.4%) and Mexican women had the highest risk (5.0%). Compared to non-Hispanic white women, there was a slightly decreased risk for East Asian women (adjusted OR=0.8, 95% CI [0.7, 0.8]), similar risk for North African women (adjusted OR=1.1, 95% CI [0.9, 1.3]), and increased risk for all other major ethnic groups (adjusted ORs: 1.3–2.9), with the highest risk for Mexican women (adjusted OR=2.9, 95% CI [2.7, 3.1]). No difference in risks was observed for US versus foreign born women with the exception that foreign-born South-East Asian and Pacific Islanders had increased risk of preeclampsia (adjusted OR=1.8, 95% CI [1.0, 3.1]) relative to those born in the US. We concluded that there was ethnic heterogeneity in the development of preeclampsia among women in New York City and Asian subgroups should be examined separately in future studies on ethnicity. Our results should contribute to screening for preeclampsia taking ethnic variation into account and may help to suggest leads for study of etiology.

description: Monitoring efforts of inshore and ballast water during the past 10 years in the Gulf of Gabes allowed us to note
 the importance of species in the order Gymnodiniales. Gymnodiniales species have a considerable ecological role in the
 region due to confirmed toxicity events. The ecological specificity of Karenia selliformis, Karenia papilionacea, Karenia
 bidigitata, Gymnodinium catenatum, Akashiwo sanguinea, Polykrikos sp., Karlodinium venificum and Amphidinium
 operculatum are presented in this paper. Karenia selliformis is considered the most problematic species in the Gulf of
 Gabes, causing more than 70% of toxicity cases. In addition, Gymnodinium catenatum and Akashiwo sanguinea are of
 ecological importance in the Mediterranean region and Polykrikos sp. produces a spectacular abundance in tidal zones. The
 detection of Amphidinium operculatum only in harbour waters surrounding ballast basins indicates a possible introduction
 of the species via the maritime traffic. Karlodinium venificum has been found to co-occur with Karenia selliformis and has
 caused several cases of toxicity in the Gulf of Gabes. Karenia bidigitata is found only in two distinct areas, Skhira and
 Boughrara.

Within this context, this article introduces a dual-radix modular division algorithm for computing the graded canonical expansions and graded quotients for a certain class of rational expressions that arise from periodic orbits within these dynamical systems. This division algorithm yields two novel methods for testing the integrality of the Böhm-Sontacchi numbers.

 been investigated only sporadically. This paper is the first report on the occurrence of Neogoniolithon brassica-florida,
 Lithophyllum crouanii and Phymatolithon calcareum as rhodoliths in the Azores (the first two in Ilhéu de Vila Franca, São
 Miguel Island, and the third at Lajes do Pico, Pico Island). At each sampling site area and percent cover of rhodoliths were
 estimated along their depth distribution range, and for each species rhodolith density, branch density, and sphericity were deter-
 mined. Rhodoliths were distributed between 2 and 4 m depth, and differences were found in the percent cover between sites,
 and in rhodolith density, maximum length, branch density and sphericity between species, with higher values for
 Neogoniolithon brassica-florida. Sphericity differences may result from differences in growth characteristics between species.

description: Connecting galaxies with their descendants (or progenitors) at different redshifts can yield strong constraints on galaxy evolution. Observational studies have historically selected samples of galaxies using a physical quantity, such as stellar mass, either above a constant limit or at a constant cumulative number density. Investigation into the efficacy of these selection methods has not been fully explored. Using a set of four semi-analytical models based on the output of the Millennium Simulation, we find that selecting galaxies at a constant number density (in the range $-4.3 < \log\ n\ [\mathrm{Mpc}^{-3}\ h^{3}] < -3.0$) is superior to a constant stellar mass selected sample, although it still has significant limitations. Recovery of the average stellar mass, stellar mass density and average star-formation rate is highly dependent on the choice of number density but can all be recovered to within $<50\%$ at the commonly employed choice of $\log\ n\ [\mathrm{Mpc}^{-3}\ h^{3}] = -4.0$, corresponding to $\log M_\odot / h \sim 11.2$ at $z=0$, but this increases at lower mass limits. We show that there is a large scatter between the location of a given galaxy in a rank ordering based on stellar mass between different redshifts. We find that the inferred velocity dispersion may be a better tracer of galaxy properties, although further investigation is warranted into simulating this property. Finally, we find that over large redshift ranges selection at a constant number density is more effective in tracing the progenitors of modern galaxies than vice-versa.

description: Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are persistent flame retardants found in the environment, in household dust, and in humans. Breast feeding is a prominent route of exposure in infancy. PBDEs adversely affect neurodevelopment in animals. Here, we estimate associations between PBDEs in breast milk and behavior and cognitive skills in children at 36 months of age.

description: We present a static, isotropic fluid solution around a black hole and its effects on the field equations and the horizon. We offer the solutions, their descriptions and we comment on their shortcomings. We derive from the proposed metric the density, the pressure, the equation of state, the temperature near and far of the black hole and the equation of state parameter. We show that for a special case, when $r\rightarrow\ 0$ the solution behaves as $p=\fracρ{3}$, the equation of state for radiation and for $r\rightarrow\infty$ we observe that $p=0$, the equation of state for dust.

description: The Royal College of Physician and Surgeons of Canada mandates that paediatric training programs in Canada incorporate subspecialty training and the teaching and evaluation of the seven CanMEDS roles into their curriculum. The literature suggests that newly practicing paediatricians feel inadequately prepared in many subspecialties and CanMEDS roles.
Distribution, habitat and population densities of the invasive species Pinctada radiata (Molluca: Bivalvia) along the Northern and Eastern coasts of Tunisia

description: The pearl oyster Pinctada radiata (Leach, 1814) is an alien species introduced to the Mediterranean Sea and
 recorded in Tunisia many years ago. However, since its record in Tunisian inshore areas, no studies have been carried out
 about the spread of this invasive mollusc. Thus, the status of this species is still poorly known and there is a knowledge-
 gap about its distribution and ecology. The present work is a contribution to the knowledge of the pearl oyster distribution
 and density of individuals along the northern and eastern Tunisian coasts, at depths situated between 0 and 6 metres. A large
 part of Tunisian coast was surveyed, stressing some observations concerning the species ecology and its preferred biotopes.
 The size structure of the five densest populations was also described. Pinctada radiata has not yet reached the northern
 coasts (Tabarka and Bizerta coasts). Density of individuals varied from one locality to another between 0 and 62.67 ± 6.11
 individuals m-2. This mollusc prefers to be attached to vertical solid substrata (natural or artificial) within marine habitats
 with relatively high hydrodynamic conditions. Confined localities such as those inside lagoons seem not to be the preferred
 habitat for the proliferation of this immigrant species. Size structure analysis showed that the majority of the five examined
 populations, except for Tunis north lagoon and La Marsa, were dominated by large individuals exceeding 42 mm in shell
 height. It is worth noting that the maximum size (100.5 mm) recorded in the lagoon of Bizerta (Njila) is higher than that
 recorded in previous studies, in particular in its origin habitat (Red Sea). This suggests that Pinctada radiata is well adapt-
 ed to Tunisian coasts.

Non-Markovianity induced by a single-photon packet in a one-dimensional waveguide

description: The concept of non-Markovianity (NM) in quantum dynamics is still an open debate. Understanding how to generate and measure NM in specific models may aid in this quest. In quantum optics, an engineered electromagnetic environment coupled to a single atom can induce NM. The most common scenario of structured electromagnetic environment is an optical cavity, composed by a pair of mirrors. Here, we show how to generate and measure NM on a two-level system coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide with no mirrors required. The origin of the non-Markovian behavior lies in the initial state of the field, prepared as a single-photon packet. We analyze how NM depends on two experimentally controllable parameters, namely, the linewidth of the packet and its central frequency. We relate the presence of NM to a $π$-phase shift between incoming and emitted fields. We also show how the two output channels of the waveguide provide distinct signatures of NM, both experimentally accessible.

Search for flavour-changing neutral current top-quark decays to $qZ$ in $pp$ collision data collected with the ATLAS detector at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: A search for the flavour-changing neutral-current decay $t\to qZ$ is presented. Data collected by the ATLAS detector during 2012 from proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb$^{-1}$, are analysed. Top-quark pair-production events with one top quark decaying through the $t\to qZ$ ($q=u,c$) channel and the other through the dominant Standard Model mode $t\to bW$ are considered as signal. Only the decays of the $Z$ boson to charged leptons and leptonic $W$ boson decays are used. No evidence for a signal is found and an observed (expected) upper limit on the $t\to qZ$ branching ratio of $7\times 10^{-4}$ ($8\times 10^{-4}$) is set at the 95% confidence level.
