Developing and utilising longitudinal population studies to investigate genetic architecture of asthma and COPD

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Chronic respiratory diseases, particularly asthma and COPD, cause substantial morbidity and mortality. Some individuals have features of both asthma and COPD (sometimes described as asthma-COPD overlap or ACO), and genetic risk factors for this are not fully understood. Genetic studies can identify underlying mechanisms to develop and target treatments, but require large cohorts with genotype data and phenotypic data such as self-reported diagnoses, spirometry and/or linked electronic health records (EHR). This project develops and utilises such cohorts to explore the epidemiology of asthma, COPD and ACO, and to study genetic associations with ACO. I developed recruitment to the Extended Cohort for E-health, Environment and DNA (EXCEED), a study of over 11,000 participants, and undertook descriptive analyses to produce a cohort profile paper. I undertook epidemiological analyses of linked EHR, which demonstrated the feasibility and utility of defining ACO and acute exacerbations of COPD using this data. Alongside this, I led quality control of spirometry data in the AWI-Gen-XHALE pilot study in South Africa, contributing to establishing an additional resource for respiratory genetic epidemiology in an underserved region. I identified eight signals reaching genome-wide significance (P<5x10-8) in a genome-wide association study of ACO. None of the signals were previously associated with ACO, and one intergenic signal on chromosome 5 was not previously associated with either asthma or COPD (rs80101740). The signals suggested a spectrum of genetic influences, some predominantly influencing asthma (signals in/near FAM105A, GLB1, PHB, TSLP), others predominantly influencing COPD (IL17RD), and others intermediate (C5orf56, HLA-DQB1). Subgroup analyses suggested that the associations were not driven by smoking or age at asthma diagnosis. I showed shared genetic influences between asthma, COPD, ACO and eosinophils at the level of individual loci and genome-wide, and highlighted pathways implicating innate and adaptive immunity and potentially bone development.

description: Recently, interest has surged in similarity-based epistemologies of possibility. However, it has been pointed out that the notion of ‘relevant similarity’ is not properly developed in this literature. In this paper, I look at the research done in the field of analogical reasoning, where we find that one of the most promising ways of capturing relevance in similarity reasoning is by relying on the predictive analogy similarity relation. This takes relevant similarity to be based on shared properties that have structural relations to the property of interest. I argue that if we base our epistemology of possibility on similarity reasoning on the predictive analogy similarity relation, we require prior knowledge of the specifics of these structural relations. I discuss a number of possible responses to this on behalf of the similarity theorists given their methodological approach to the epistemology of modality more generally. They could either opt for making explicit the metaphysics underlying these structural relations, in which case they need to spell out how we can come to know these relations. Or they could opt for developing a theory that explains why we do not need to have explicit knowledge of these structural relations; for example by suggesting that we make use of epistemic shortcuts.

description: The advent of deep learning based artificial perception models has revolutionized the field of computer vision. These methods take advantage of the ever-growing computational capacity of machines and the abundance of human-annotated data to build supervised learners for a wide-range of visual tasks. However, the reliance on human-annotated is also a bottleneck for the scalability and generalizability of these methods. We argue that in order to build more general learners (akin to an infant), it is crucial to develop methods that learn without human-supervision. In this thesis, we present our research on minimizing the role of human-supervision for two key problems: Representation and Recognition. Recent self-supervised representation learning (SSL) methods have demonstrated impressive generalization capabilities on numerous downstream tasks. In this thesis, we investigate these approaches and demonstrate that they still heavily rely on the availability of clean, curated and structured datasets. We experimentally demonstrate that these learning capabilities fail to extend to data collected “in-thewild” and hence, expose the need for better benchmarks in self-supervised learning. We also propose novel SSL approaches that minimize this dependence on curated data. Since exhaustively collecting annotations for all visual concepts is infeasible, methods that generalize beyond the available supervision are crucial for building scalable recognition models. We present a novel neural network architecture that takes advantage of the compositional nature of visual concepts to construct image classifiers for unseen concepts. For domains where collecting dense annotations is infeasible, we present an “understanding via associations” paradigm which reformulates the recognition problem as identification of correspondences. We apply this to videos and show that we can densely describe videos by identifying dense spatiotemporal correspondences to other similar videos. Finally, to explore the human ability of generalizing beyond semantic categories, we introduce the “Functional Correspondence Problem” and demonstrate that representations that encode functional properties of objects can be used to recognize novel objects more efficiently.

description: This work presents an architecture that generates curiosity-driven goal-directed exploration behaviours for an image sensor of a microfarming robot. A combination of deep neural networks for offline unsupervised learning of low-dimensional features from images and of online learning of shallow neural networks representing the inverse and forward kinematics of the system have been used. The artificial curiosity system assigns interest values to a set of pre-defined goals and drives the exploration towards those that are expected to maximise the learning progress. We propose the integration of an episodic memory in intrinsic motivation systems to face catastrophic forgetting issues, typically experienced when performing online updates of artificial neural networks. Our results show that adopting an episodic memory system not only prevents the computational models from quickly forgetting knowledge that has been previously acquired but also provides new avenues for modulating the balance between plasticity and stability of the models.

description: The present work aims to improve the understanding of the effect of different drying strategies at varying temperatures on the dynamic drying behaviour and quality of organic products such as carrots using non-invasive measurement techniques. For this purpose, carrot slices of 3 mm thickness were dried under three different strategies namely air temperature controlled (A), product temperature controlled (P) and stepwise temperature controlled (S) at different temperatures (50 °C, 60 °C and 70 °C) to measure and analyse the changes in moisture content, colour, total carotenoid retention, water activity, rehydration ratio and specific energy consumption. From the investigation performed, it was incurred that the application of different drying strategies influences rather significantly both the product quality as well as the overall process efficiency. Modelling the drying curves deemed Page model to be a good fit for all the strategies with R2adj = 0.99 and RMSE = 0.01. The results also show that implementing strategy P not only led to shorter drying times but also led to higher total carotenoid retention within the samples (TCR = 0.59–0.73). Colour changes, however, were observed to be maximum with strategy P as compared to strategy A and strategy S. Furthermore, the use of a non-invasive measurement technique such as infrared camera proved to be reliable in order to detect the phase transition of the product during the drying process.

bubble size distribution

description: In this thesis, an experimental setup for the measurement of the contribution of air bubbles to gas exchange is presented. In the ocean, bubble clouds are generated especially by breaking waves and potentially contribute to the exchange of trace gases between ocean and atmosphere in a significant way. The lab experiments aim at modeling this contribution on a physical basis. In the experiment, ocean-like bubble clouds can be created with a water jet pump in a glass tank (130 cm x 15 cm x 70 cm (H x D x W)), which was constructed for that purpose. The flow rate of air can be controlled, leading to a bubble distribution that is stationary in a statistical sense. For the measurement of the probability density of bubbles as a function of bubble radius and position in the tank, an imaging method was developed. It is based on the depth from focus principle and allows for the optical measurement of bubble radii between 100 and 1000 mum with simultaneous determination of the size-dependent measuring volume. The apparatus can be shifted automatically horizontally and vertically, allowing for capturing of the whole bubble cloud. For image evaluation, several image processing algorithms have been implemented and compared. A second optical setup for the measurement of bubbles penetrating the water surface was prepared and tested. Gas exchange rates were measured by integration of a UV absorption spectrometer in the water cycle. This allows the simultaneous measurement of the change of the concentration of multiple tracers (in the experiment: hexafluorobenzene, 1,4-difluorobenzene and phenylacetylene) in time. A pilot experiment demonstrates that transfer velocities can be computed from a mass balance and that e.g. the dependence on tracer solubility can be studied with respect to the bubble size distribution./p>

description: “Aballay” de Antonio Di Benedetto es un texto que encierra una pluralidad de significados. Su multiculturalismo espacial, temporal y cultural establece un diálogo y una interacción con otras obras y favorece, ya en sí mismo, el surgimiento de hipertextos. El análisis del cuento permite reflexionar sobre las conexiones entre hombre y medio ambiente y estudiar el relato no sólo como ejemplo de transculturación sino también como nuevo abordaje a la literatura gauchesca. El análisis propuesto permitirá efectuar una comparación entre el cuento y la transposición en historieta, pasando por la cinematográfica, y reflexionar sobre diferencias y analogías entre ambos soportes.

description: We measure the spin-lattice relaxation of donor bound electrons in ultrapure, isotopically enriched, phosphorus-doped 28Si:P. The optical pump-probe experiments reveal at low temperatures extremely long spin relaxation times which exceed 20 h. The 28Si:P spin relaxation rate increases linearly with temperature in the regime below 1 K and shows a distinct transition to a T9 dependence which dominates the spin relaxation between 2 and 4 K at low magnetic fields. The T7 dependence reported for natural silicon is absent. At high magnetic fields, the spin relaxation is dominated by the magnetic field dependent single phonon spin relaxation process. This process is well documented for natural silicon at finite temperatures but the 28Si:P measurements validate additionally that the bosonic phonon distribution leads at very low temperatures to a deviation from the linear temperature dependence of Γ as predicted by theory.

This includes elasticity theory to obtain the strain profile coupled with the Darwin–Howie–Whelan equations, describing the propagation of the electron wave through the sample. We perform a simulation study on indium gallium arsenide QDs with different shapes and compare the resulting TEM images to experimental ones. This tool chain can be applied to generate a database of simulated TEM images, which is a key element of a novel concept for model-based geometry reconstruction of semiconductor QDs, involving machine learning techniques.
Correspondencia y Symphilosophie. Consideraciones sobre el intercambio epistolar de Mario Levrero y Francisco Gandolfo

La correspondencia se presenta, por su parte, como una forma ideal para la exploración de la Symphilosophie, mucho más aún en el caso del intercambio entre Francisco Gandolfo y Mario Levrero, en el que lo epistolar opera como un espacio de debate y definición conjunta de ideas en torno a problemas que serán centrales en las poéticas de ambos: la búsqueda (y terapia) del yo a través de la escritura y, colateralmente, la función social del escritor. Dichos problemas se construyen a partir de una sensibilidad romántica que atraviesa las autofiguraciones de autor, las cuales encuentran una definición en el espacio de las misivas.

description: Climate networks are constructed from climate time series data using correlation measures. It is widely accepted that the geographical proximity, as well as other geographical features such as ocean and atmospheric currents, have a large impact on the observable time-series similarity. Therefore it is to be expected that the spatial sampling will influence the reconstructed network. Here we investigate this by comparing analytical flow networks, networks generated with the START model and networks from temperature data from the Asian monsoon domain. We evaluate them on a regular grid, a grid with added random jittering and two variations of clustered sampling. We find that the impact of the spatial sampling on most network measures only distorts the plots if the node distribution is significantly inhomogeneous. As a simple diagnostic measure for the detection of inhomogeneous sampling we suggest the Voronoi cell size distribution.

description: Thermal management is of vital importance in various modern technologies such as portable electronics, photovoltaics, and thermoelectric devices. Impeding phonon transport remains one of the most challenging tasks for improving the thermoelectric performance of certain materials such as half-Heusler compounds. Herein, a significant reduction of lattice thermal conductivity (κL) is achieved by applying a pressure of ≈1 GPa to sinter a broad range of half-Heusler compounds. Contrasting with the common sintering pressure of less than 100 MPa, the gigapascal-level pressure enables densification at a lower temperature, thus greatly modifying the structural characteristics for an intensified phonon scattering. A maximum κL reduction of ≈83% is realized for HfCoSb from 14 to 2.5 W m−1 K−1 at 300 K with more than 95% relative density. The realized low κL originates from a remarkable grain-size refinement to below 100 nm together with the abundant in-grain defects, as determined by microscopy investigations. This work uncovers the phonon transport properties of half-Heusler compounds under unconventional microstructures, thus showing the potential of high-pressure compaction in advancing the performance of thermoelectric materials.

description: Current injection into single quantum dots embedded in vertical p-n-diodes featuring oxide apertures is analyzed in the low-injection regime suitable for single-photon emitters. The experimental and theoretical evidence is found for a rapid lateral spreading of the carriers after passing the oxide aperture in the conventional p-i-n-design. By an alternative design employing p-doping up to the oxide aperture, the current spreading can be suppressed resulting in an enhanced current confinement and increased injection efficiencies, both, in the continuous wave and under pulsed excitation.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Insects play a vital role in sustaining ecosystems. Telecommunication antennas emit RF-EMFs, potentially impacting insects, with exposure  likely to change as networks evolve from 4G to 5G [1].

Pollinators like bees near strong antennas may face signi cant RF-EMF exposure, leading to biological responses, though the e ects remain unclear [2]

The primary objective of this project is to establish a reusable work for transforming insect CT scans into anatomically accurate 3D models. 

While electromagnetic simulations serve as a use case, the main focus is to create a exible pipeline that accommodates the unique challenges of  insect CT data, using free software to ensure broad compatibility with various research tools and applications

description: Euroleptochromus tuberculatus Yin & Cai, 2018 (Fig. 1)
Euroleptochromus tuberculatus Yin & Cai, 2018: 147.
Material examined. A complete female (determined by Micro-CT observation) entombed in a 12 mm × 8 mm × 2 mm suboval amber piece; deposited in SNUC.
Supplementary description. Habitus (Fig. 1A, B) moderately stout, body length 2.68 mm (actual size slightly larger due to oblique orientation of the specimen). Postgenae lacking extended projection, cuticle slightly raised to form tubercles, each postgena with two long bristles (Fig. 1C, indicated by arrow heads). Submentum strongly transverse. Antennae covered with dense, suberect setae (Fig. 1D), much shorter than body, length 1.96 mm, lengths of antennomeres 1–11: 0.43 mm (1), 0.15 mm (2), 0.16 mm (3), 0.15 mm (4), 0.18 mm (5), 0.13 mm (6), 0.17 mm (7), 0.13 mm (8), 0.14 mm (9), 0.13 mm (10), 0.19 mm (11); relative lengths of antennomeres: 3.3: 1.2: 1.2: 1.2: 1.4: 1: 1.3: 1: 1: 1: 1.5. Pronotum in dorsal view suboval, broadest in middle, with rounded anterior and lateral margins; posterior margin arcuate; length along midline 0.73 mm. Elytra with dense, short pubescence; humeri markedly prominent. Metathoracic wings fully developed. Mesoventrite with narrow mesoventral intercoxal carina. Sternite III long, IV–VI distinctly shorter than III and subequal in length, VII slightly longer than VI, VIII large, longer than III.
Remarks. Two most important diagnostic features of this species, i.e., the lack of an elongate projection on each postgena (Fig. 1C), and five (3-1-1 placed) ventral spines (Fig. 1E, F) of the profemur, can be clearly observed in the new specimen, which excludes the possibility of morphological distortion of the holotype and supports E. tuberculatus as a distinct species.
The presence of well-developed hindwings in the female indicates flight capability, and possibly an active predatory behavior of this species.

description: Over-deepened basins exist throughout the Alpine realm. Improving our knowledge on these basins is of high social relevance, since these areas are often well-populated and they possess, for instance, unusual hydrological settings. Nonetheless, geophysical and sedimentological investigations of over-deepened basins are rare. We analyse the sedimentary succession of such a basin, the Tannwald Basin, through geological interpretation of seismic reflection profiles. The basin is located approximately 60 km north of the European Alps. It was incised into Tertiary molasse sediments by the Rhine Glacier and later filled by glacial, fluvial, and lacustrine deposits of 250 m thickness. The Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics acquired a grid of five high-resolution seismic reflection lines that imaged till the deepest parts of the Tannwald Basin. The seismic profiles, processed to a pre-stack depth migration level, allow a detailed geological interpretation that is calibrated with the help of a nearby borehole. We determine the structure and the seismic facies of the sediment succession in the basin and presume the following hypothesis of the evolution of the basin: sub-glacial erosion comprises the excavation of the over-deepened basin as well as detachment of large fragments of molasse material. These molasse slabs were deposited within the basin in a layer of basal till that graded upwards in water-lain till and fine-grained deposits. During the last two glaciations, the basinal structure became buried by till sequences and glacio-fluvial sediments.

description: Natural language understanding tasks are key to extracting structured and semantic information from text. One of the most challenging problems in natural language is ambiguity and resolving such ambiguity based on context including temporal information. This paper, focuses on the task of extracting temporal roles from text, e.g. CEO of an organization or head of a state. A temporal role has a domain, which may resolve to different entities depending on the context and especially on temporal information, e.g. CEO of Microsoft in 2000. We focus on the temporal role extraction, as a precursor for temporal role disambiguation. We propose a structured prediction approach based on Conditional Random Fields (CRF) to annotate temporal roles in text and rely on a rich feature set, which extracts syntactic and semantic information from text. We perform an extensive evaluation of our approach based on two datasets. In the first dataset, we extract nearly 400k instances from Wikipedia through distant supervision, whereas in the second dataset, a manually curated ground-truth consisting of 200 instances is extracted from a sample of The New York Times (NYT) articles. Last, the proposed approach is compared against baselines where significant improvements are shown for both datasets.

description: As sensor networks get increasingly deployed in real-world scenarios such as home and industrial automation, there is a similarly growing demand in analyzing, consolidating, and storing the data collected by these networks. The dynamic, on-demand resources offered by today’s cloud computing environments promise to satisfy this demand. However, prevalent security concerns still hinder the integration of sensor networks and cloud computing. In this paper, we show how recent progress in standardization can provide the basis for protecting data from diverse sensor devices when outsourcing data processing and storage to the cloud. To this end, we present our Sensor Cloud Security Library (SCSlib) that enables cloud service developers to transparently access cryptographically protected sensor data in the cloud. SCSlib specifically allows domain specialists who are not security experts to build secure cloud services. Our evaluation proves the feasibility and applicability of SCSlib for commodity cloud computing environments.

description: A hindcast simulation of the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice variability during 1955-2001 has been performed with a global, coarse resolution ice-ocean model driven by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research reanalysis daily surface air temperatures and winds. Both the mean state and variability of the ice packs over the satellite observing period are reasonably well reproduced by the model. Over the 47-year period, the simulated ice area (defined as the total ice-covered oceanic area) in each hemisphere experiences large decadal variability together with a decreasing trend of ∼1% per decade. In the Southern Hemisphere, this trend is mostly caused by an abrupt retreat of the ice cover during the second half of the 1970s and the beginning of the 1980s. The modelled ice volume also exhibits pronounced decadal variability, especially in the Northern Hemisphere. Besides these fluctuations, we detected a downward trend in Arctic ice volume of 1.8% per decade and an upward trend in Antarctic ice volume of 1.5% per decade. However, caution must be exercised when interpreting these trends because of the shortness of the simulation and the strong decadal variations. Furthermore, sensitivity experiments have revealed that the trend in Antarctic ice volume is model-dependent.

description: In the context of discussed global climate change the emphasis is placed mainly on the adaptability of the water management methodology at present time. Therefore a questionnaire inquiry oriented to the perception of the climate change impact and current state of adaptation strategies implementation was carried out and evaluated. The research was realised among the water management experts in six large transboundary basins: Elbe, Rhine, Guadiana, Amudaria, Orange and Nile. The questionnaire was divided into six parts concerning for example: expected climate change impacts, adaptation measures, drivers for development of adaptation strategy, adaptation barriers etc. Responses were evaluated with rating and the dominant answers and lists of priority were established. Results were evaluated looking for overall conclusions in all or almost all regions, as well as conclusions for each region. The main benefit of the research lies in the evaluation based principally on the opinions of policy makers, stakeholders and water managers in the river basins not on the climate scenarios. The outcomes have proved understanding of the climate change impact issue over all six basins, only the approach to adaptation is partly different. The historical development of water management in the basin influences the perception as well.

description: The minstrel character Alan-a-Dale, as well as other variations of the minstrel, have been effectively ingrained into the history of the Robin Hood tale through screen media interpretations. This study seeks to investigate the origins of the minstrel character in the medieval through present day texts and analyze the interpretations of these characters in a collection of the present day screen media sources that involve this character. Topics to be addressed within this survey include medieval minstrel performance practices and their overall reception in medieval society, as well as the variety of roles the on-screen minstrel characters take, both as an authority of narrative importance and as a reference to medieval influences.
