description: With the development of Internet of Medical Things(IOMT), a lot of medical data are stored and released for both scientific research and practical applications. Accurate medical data is very valuable, but it also brings a huge risk of privacy leakage. Moreover, improving the privacy of data often leads to the reduction of data validity. Privacy and effectiveness are in conflict, and their balance is a typical multi-objective optimization problem (MOP). In this paper, we try to use differential privacy to disturb medical data to protect personal privacy. We propose the Environment Switching Algorithm (ESA) based on evolutionary learning to solve this MOP. ESA has excellent performance, which can ensure convergence speed and optimization performance at the same time. The result of optimization is a pareto front (PF) of huge scale, which includes solutions with different characteristics. We put forward a method of double clustering to select the appropriate solution from PF. Based on the above, we conclude the whole method as Flexible Differential Privacy Algorithm based on Evolutionary Learning (FDPEL). FDPEL can realize flexible differential privacy for medical data, while ensuring data privacy and data validity. FDPEL is suitable for privacy protection of medical data of different scales, which makes it have a practical applications value.

description: Subgroup identification is a fundamental step in precision medicine. Recent research applying data-driven methods such as independent component/vector analysis to multi-subject functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data has effectively revealed meaningful subgroups. These methods typically focus on single-dimensional information, such as individual functional networks or assuming uniform subgroup structures across networks. Given the complex nature of psychiatric disorders, considering the relationships among subjects across different functional networks can offer valuable insights into diagnostic heterogeneity. We introduce a novel subgroup identification method that leverages multiplex community detection to identify subgroups from multi-subject resting-state fMRI data. The proposed method models subject correlations across functional networks as a multiplex network and identifies common communities across multiple networks and unique communities specific to each functional network. Results from applying the proposed method to 464 psychotic patients show that the identified subgroups exhibit significant group differences on multiple meaningful functional networks as well as the clinical scores, which demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on identifying meaningful subgroups.

description: We derive the spectral density of the equiprobable mixture of two random density matrices of a two-level quantum system. We also work out the spectral density of mixture under the so-called quantum addition rule. We use the spectral densities to calculate the average entropy of mixtures of random density matrices, and show that the average entropy of the arithmetic-mean-state of $n$ qubit density matrices randomly chosen from the Hilbert-Schmidt ensemble is never decreasing with the number $n$. We also get the exact value of the average squared fidelity. Some conjectures and open problems related to von Neumann entropy are also proposed.

description: Analytic expressions of the spatial coherence of partially coherent fields propagating in the Fresnel regime in all but the simplest of scenarios are largely lacking and calculation of the Fresnel transform typically entails tedious numerical integration. Here, we provide a closed-form approximation formula for the case of a generalized source obtained by modulating the field produced by a Gauss-Shell source model with a piecewise constant transmission function, which may be used to model the field's interaction with objects and apertures. The formula characterizes the coherence function in terms of the coherence of the Gauss-Schell beam propagated in free space and a multiplicative term capturing the interaction with the transmission function. This approximation holds in the regime where the intensity width of the beam is much larger than the coherence width under mild assumptions on the modulating transmission function. The formula derived for generalized sources lays the foundation for the study of the inverse problem of scene reconstruction from coherence measurements.

description: In recent years, the healthcare industry has undergone a digital transformation, making patient data publicly available and accessible. Healthcare units make a portion of the data public while keeping the rest private, necessitating various mechanisms for security and privacy. Blockchain technology has been widely adopted in the healthcare sector to secure data transactions. However, public blockchains face challenges in scalability and privacy, whereas private blockchains struggle with centralization, interoperability, and complexity. To address these challenges, we propose an Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)-based hybrid blockchain architecture. The proposed architecture combines the decentralized Ethereum and the centralized Hyperledger Fabric blockchain (Eth-Fab) using SQLite to leverage Ethereum smart contracts with the Hyperledger permission model. Moreover, we introduce access control strategies to enhance patient data authentication and authorization. We have employed machine learning algorithms to assist healthcare practitioners in accurately detecting diseases and making time-efficient decisions. Additionally, we modeled the proposed architecture using the M/M/1 queuing model and derived closed-form expressions for latency, throughput, and server utilization. The validity of these expressions was verified through Monte Carlo simulations. The results demonstrate that higher service times (block generation) yield better outcomes in terms of latency, throughput, and utilization, regardless of the arrival time, i.e., transactions in the mining pool.

description: The formation of the first stars in the high-redshift Universe is a sensitive probe of the small-scale, particle physics nature of dark matter (DM). We carry out cosmological simulations of primordial star formation in ultra-light, axion-like particle DM cosmology, with masses of $10^{-22}$ and $10^{-21}\,{\rm eV}$, with de Broglie wavelengths approaching galactic scales ($\sim$kpc). The onset of star formation is delayed, and shifted to more massive host structures. For the lightest DM particle mass explored here, first stars form at $z \sim 7$ in structures with $\sim 10^9\,{\rm M}_\odot$, compared to the standard minihalo environment within the $Λ$ cold dark matter ($Λ$CDM) cosmology, where $z \sim 20 - 30$ and $\sim 10^5 - 10^6\,{\rm M}_\odot$. Despite this greatly altered DM host environment, the thermodynamic behaviour of the metal-free gas as it collapses into the DM potential well asymptotically approaches a very similar evolutionary track. Thus, the fragmentation properties are predicted to remain the same as in $Λ$CDM cosmology, implying a similar mass scale for the first stars. These results predict intense starbursts in the axion cosmologies, which may be amenable to observations with the {\it James Webb Space Telescope}.

description: When clinicians address dangerous behavior via remote telehealth consultation, it may be especially important to ensure remote implementers can apply behavioral interventions in a manner that keeps recipients and implementers safe while still achieving effective outcomes. We present the case of a 13-year-old autistic adolescent with limited communication skills, living in South India, whose dangerous behavior was escalating and becoming more pervasive during the pandemic quarantine, putting himself and his family at risk. In this study, we evaluated the effects of an enhanced choice model of skill-based treatment—informed by a practical functional assessment of dangerous behavior. We systematically replicated and extended procedures that have been shown to address dangerous behavior while avoiding difficult situations that place the individual and others at risk. The intervention yielded elimination of dangerous and associated non-dangerous behavior and socially valid acquisition of multiple alternative behaviors. We report multiple strategies to overcome barriers unique to remotely addressing dangerous behavior and discuss implications for the safe, telehealth application of behavior analysis in research and practice.

description: We study a neutrino model introducing an additional nontrivial gauged lepton symmetry where the neutrino masses are induced at two-loop level while the first and second charged-leptons of the standard model are done at one-loop level. As a result of model structure, we can predict one massless active neutrino, and there is a dark matter candidate. Then we discuss neutrino mass matrix, muon anomalous magnetic moment, lepton flavor violations, oblique parameters, and relic density of dark matter taking into account the experimental constraints.

Decision-making under uncertainty: using MLMC for efficient estimation of EVPPI
Creators: name: Giles, Michael B.
name: Goda, Takashi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: In this paper we develop a very efficient approach to the Monte Carlo estimation of the expected value of partial perfect information (EVPPI) that measures the average benefit of knowing the value of a subset of uncertain parameters involved in a decision model. The calculation of EVPPI is inherently a nested expectation problem, with an outer expectation with respect to one random variable $X$ and an inner conditional expectation with respect to the other random variable $Y$. We tackle this problem by using a Multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) method (Giles 2008) in which the number of inner samples for $Y$ increases geometrically with level, so that the accuracy of estimating the inner conditional expectation improves and the cost also increases with level. We construct an antithetic MLMC estimator and provide sufficient assumptions on a decision model under which the antithetic property of the estimator is well exploited, and consequently a root-mean-square accuracy of $\varepsilon$ can be achieved at a cost of $O(\varepsilon^{-2})$. Numerical results confirm the considerable computational savings compared to the standard, nested Monte Carlo method for some simple testcases and a more realistic medical application.

description: We show that non-linear Schwarzian differential equations emerging from covariance symmetry conditions imposed on linear differential operators with hypergeometric function solutions, can be generalized to arbitrary order linear differential operators with polynomial coefficients having selected differential Galois groups. For order three and order four linear differential operators we show that this pullback invariance up to conjugation eventually reduces to symmetric powers of an underlying order-two operator. We give, precisely, the conditions to have modular correspondences solutions for such Schwarzian differential equations, which was an open question in a previous paper. We analyze in detail a pullbacked hypergeometric example generalizing modular forms, that ushers a pullback invariance up to operator homomorphisms. We expect this new concept to be well-suited in physics and enumerative combinatorics. We finally consider the more general problem of the equivalence of two different order-four linear differential Calabi-Yau operators up to pullbacks and conjugation, and clarify the cases where they have the same Yukawa couplings.

description: We study gravitational-wave production from bubble collisions in a cosmic first-order phase transition, focusing on the possibility of model separation by the bubble nucleation rate dependence of the resulting gravitational-wave spectrum. By using the method of relating the spectrum with the two-point correlator of the energy-momentum tensor $\left< T(x)T(y) \right>$, we first write down analytic expressions for the spectrum with a Gaussian correction to the commonly used nucleation rate, $Γ\propto e^{βt}\rightarrow e^{βt-γ^2t^2}$, under the thin-wall and envelope approximations. Then we quantitatively investigate how the spectrum changes with the size of the Gaussian correction. It is found that the spectral shape shows ${\mathcal O}(10)\%$ deviation from $Γ\propto e^{βt}$ case for some physically motivated scenarios. We also briefly discuss detector sensitivities required to distinguish different spectral shapes.

AbstractBaricitinib (Olumiant® ) is an oral small molecule inhibitor of Janus kinase (JAK)1 and JAK2, which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD). In phase III studies in adults with moderate to severe AD who were inadequately controlled with topical corticosteroids (TCS) or systemic treatments (e.g. ciclosporin), or for whom these therapies were not advisable, baricitinib, alone or in combination with TCS, achieved significant and/or clinically relevant improvements in multiple measures of disease severity, pruritus, skin pain, sleep disturbance and health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) over 16 weeks. Benefit onset was rapid, with efficacy generally sustained over the longer term (treatment duration ≤ 68 weeks). In this patient population, the safety profile of baricitinib was consistent with that established in the moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) population. Although further longer-term data would be beneficial, current evidence indicates that baricitinib, alone or in combination with TCS, provides an oral alternative to subcutaneous biologics for the treatment of moderate to severe AD in adults who are candidates for systemic therapy.

description: We describe a method for dark matter detection based on the evaporation of helium atoms from a cold surface and their subsequent detection using field ionization. When a dark matter particle scatters off a nucleus of the target material, elementary excitations (phonons or rotons) are produced. Excitations which have an energy greater than the binding energy of helium to the surface can result in the evaporation of helium atoms. We propose to detect these atoms by ionizing them in a strong electric field. Because the binding energy of helium to surfaces can be below 1~meV, this detection scheme opens up new possibilities for the detection of dark matter particles in a mass range down to 1~MeV/c$^{2}$.

description: With quantum computing technologies nearing the era of commercialization and quantum supremacy, machine learning (ML) appears as one of the promising "killer" applications. Despite significant effort, there has been a disconnect between most quantum ML proposals, the needs of ML practitioners, and the capabilities of near-term quantum devices to demonstrate quantum enhancement in the near future. In this contribution to the focus collection on "What would you do with 1000 qubits?", we provide concrete examples of intractable ML tasks that could be enhanced with near-term devices. We argue that to reach this target, the focus should be on areas where ML researchers are struggling, such as generative models in unsupervised and semi-supervised learning, instead of the popular and more tractable supervised learning techniques. We also highlight the case of classical datasets with potential quantum-like statistical correlations where quantum models could be more suitable. We focus on hybrid quantum-classical approaches and illustrate some of the key challenges we foresee for near-term implementations. Finally, we introduce the quantum-assisted Helmholtz machine (QAHM), an attempt to use near-term quantum devices to tackle high-dimensional datasets of continuous variables. Instead of using quantum computers to assist deep learning, as previous approaches do, the QAHM uses deep learning to extract a low-dimensional binary representation of data, suitable for relatively small quantum processors which can assist the training of an unsupervised generative model. Although we illustrate this concept on a quantum annealer, other quantum platforms could benefit as well from this hybrid quantum-classical framework.

description: Machine learning has been presented as one of the key applications for near-term quantum technologies, given its high commercial value and wide range of applicability. In this work, we introduce the \textit{quantum-assisted Helmholtz machine:} a hybrid quantum-classical framework with the potential of tackling high-dimensional real-world machine learning datasets on continuous variables. Instead of using quantum computers only to assist deep learning, as previous approaches have suggested, we use deep learning to extract a low-dimensional binary representation of data, suitable for processing on relatively small quantum computers. Then, the quantum hardware and deep learning architecture work together to train an unsupervised generative model. We demonstrate this concept using 1644 quantum bits of a D-Wave 2000Q quantum device to model a sub-sampled version of the MNIST handwritten digit dataset with 16x16 continuous valued pixels. Although we illustrate this concept on a quantum annealer, adaptations to other quantum platforms, such as ion-trap technologies or superconducting gate-model architectures, could be explored within this flexible framework.

description: The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is a high etendue imaging facility that is being constructed atop Cerro Pachon in Northern Chile. It is scheduled to begin science operations in 2022. With an 8.4m (6.5m effective) aperture, a three-mirror design achieving a seeing-limited 9.6deg^2 field of view, and a 3.2 Gigapixel camera, the LSST has the deep-wide-fast imaging capability to carry out an 18,000deg^2 survey in six passbands (ugrizy) to a coadded depth of r~27.5 over 10 years using 90% of its observational time. The remaining 10% will be devoted to deeper and faster time-domain observations and smaller surveys. In total, each patch of the sky in the main survey will receive 800 visits allocated across the six passbands with 30s exposure visits. The huge volume of high-quality LSST data will provide a wide range of science opportunities and open a new era of precision cosmology with unprecedented statistical power and tight control of systematic errors. In this review, we give a brief account of the LSST cosmology program with an emphasis on dark energy investigations. The LSST will address dark energy physics and cosmology in general by exploiting diverse precision probes including large-scale structure, weak lensing, type Ia supernovae, galaxy clusters, and strong lensing. Combined with the cosmic microwave background data, these probes form interlocking tests on the cosmological model and the nature of dark energy. The LSST data products will be made available to the U.S. and Chilean scientific communities and to international partners with no proprietary period. Close collaborations with coeval surveys observing at a variety of wavelengths, resolutions, depths, and timescales will be a vital part of the LSST science program, which will not only enhance specific studies but also allow a more complete understanding of the universe through different windows.

description: Bioburden detection is crucial for food, water, and biopharmaceutical applications as it can directly impact public health. The objective of this study is to develop and validate an assay and protocol for detecting bioburden on solid surfaces, as well as in water, with high sensitivity and accuracy in a rapid manner. Henceforth, a resazurin-based assay optimized for detecting bioburden has been integrated with a previously developed portable multichannel fluorometer. The microbes were isolated from solid surfaces in different laboratory settings by swabbing technique, and stream water was collected for contamination analysis. Based on the results, the assay and protocol can successfully detect bioburden as low as 20 CFU/cm2 and 10 CFU/mL present in both surface and water samples, respectively.

description: In the contemporary digital era, children are consistently surrounded by digital devices and exposed from early infancy, especially screen devices. Besides conventional screen devices like televisions, the prevalence of mobile touch screen devices(MTSD), such as smartphones and tablets, has notably surged. Overall screen time(ST) surpasses internationally recommended standards, drawing attention to their impact on children's mental health and well-being. Although research has investigated children's ST and its impact on mental health, studies focusing on preschoolers and MTSD remain scarce. In this research context, a quasi-systematic review of the impact of MTSD alone on ST on social-emotional behavioural(SEB) skills and externalising behaviours in preschoolers was conducted. Adhering to the PRISMA statement, 11 observational studies out of 1535 published literature between 2007 and 2023 were selected as relevant. Narrative synthesis results revealed that prolonged MTSD ST had a negative impact on task performance(self-regulation and persistence) and emotion regulation in the Big Five domains. Furthermore, it was suggested that parental manner and duration of parents’ MTSD usage could correlate with preschoolers' ST duration. Limitations such as study heterogeneity and the absence of objective assessment methodologies were identified. Nevertheless, it was suggested that MTSD has begun to impact children's psychosocial development and importantly, it is the responsibility of parents to manage MTSD use in preschoolers. Consequently, enhancing parental digital health literacy and refining parenting styles emerge as imperative strategies to foster healthy MTSD usage among preschool children. Given the dearth of public health interventions or guidelines targeting this aspect, the study advocated for asset-based interventions.

description: The contributor shared that, in 1940, her parents and her father's younger sister were living on Thamley Road, Coundon, Coventry. On the evening of 14 November 1940, the contributor's father went to the air raid shelter on Moseley Avenue as soon as the siren sounded. The contributor's aunt and mother were due to follow him; however, before they could leave the house, the air raid began. The contributor's mother and aunt took shelter underneath the stairs, but the house received a direct hit. Neither woman was injured, and they managed to escape the rubble. The contributor's mother and aunt were taken to a reception centre on Cash's Lane in Foleshill. The following morning, the contributor's father emerged from the air raid shelter and went home to find his house in ruins and no sign of his wife or sister. The family was eventually reunited at the centre on Cash's Lane. The contributor's parents were evacuated to Atherstone and returned to Coventry in 1943. They lived in Canley until 1947, when their house on Thamley Road was rebuilt, and they were able to move back in.

Chenciner bubbles and torus break-up in a periodically forced delay differential equation

description: We study a generic model for the interaction of negative delayed feedback and periodic forcing that was first introduced by Ghil et al. in the context of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) climate system. This model takes the form of a delay differential equation and has been shown in previous work to be capable of producing complicated dynamics, which is organised by resonances between the external forcing and dynamics induced by feedback. For certain parameter values, we observe in simulations the sudden disappearance of (two-frequency dynamics on) tori. This can be explained by the folding of invariant tori and their associated resonance tongues. It is known that two smooth tori cannot simply meet and merge; they must actually break up in complicated bifurcation scenarios that are organised within so-called resonance bubbles first studied by Chenciner. We identify and analyse such a Chenciner bubble in order to understand the dynamics at folds of tori. We conduct a bifurcation analysis of the Chenciner bubble by means of continuation software and dedicated simulations, whereby some bifurcations involve tori and are detected in appropriate two-dimensional projections associated with Poincaré sections. We find close agreement between the observed bifurcation structure in the Chenciner bubble and a previously suggested theoretical picture. As far as we are aware, this is the first time the bifurcation structure associated with a Chenciner bubble has been analysed in a delay differential equation and, in fact, for a flow rather than an explicit map. Following our analysis, we briefly discuss the possible role of folding tori and Chenciner bubbles in the context of tipping.

description: This study explores in-service early childhood educators’ understanding of children’s spirituality. Utilizing the recently validated instrument, Early Childhood Educators’ Spiritual Practices in the Classroom (ECE-SPC), responses to the question, “What do you understand children’s spirituality to be?” were analyzed. Participants included 318 educators working in secular educational settings with children ages zero to eight years across 36 U.S. states. Findings reveal a multilayered understanding of children’s spirituality. Through a grounded theory approach to data analysis using in-vivo codes in initial and axial coding, participants’ responses were organized in a response framework comprised of three main categories of understanding spirituality: (1) as Essence in itself (f 208), (2) as its place of Origin (f 122), and (3) as Actions in relation to others or as ways in which it is practiced (f 86). This framework contributes to constructing a shared understanding of children’s spirituality to build efforts toward promoting holistic development and intentionally nurturing the spiritual domain.

description: The early Gottesman, Kitaev, and Preskill (GKP) proposal for encoding a qubit in an oscillator has recently been followed by cat- and binomial-code proposals. Numerically optimized codes have also been proposed, and we introduce new codes of this type here. These codes have yet to be compared using the same error model; we provide such a comparison by determining the entanglement fidelity of all codes with respect to the bosonic pure-loss channel (i.e., photon loss) after the optimal recovery operation. We then compare achievable communication rates of the combined encoding-error-recovery channel by calculating the channel's hashing bound for each code. Cat and binomial codes perform similarly, with binomial codes outperforming cat codes at small loss rates. Despite not being designed to protect against the pure-loss channel, GKP codes significantly outperform all other codes for most values of the loss rate. We show that the performance of GKP and some binomial codes increases monotonically with increasing average photon number of the codes. In order to corroborate our numerical evidence of the cat/binomial/GKP order of performance occurring at small loss rates, we analytically evaluate the quantum error-correction conditions of those codes. For GKP codes, we find an essential singularity in the entanglement fidelity in the limit of vanishing loss rate. In addition to comparing the codes, we draw parallels between binomial codes and discrete-variable systems. First, we characterize one- and two-mode binomial as well as multi-qubit permutation-invariant codes in terms of spin-coherent states. Such a characterization allows us to introduce check operators and error-correction procedures for binomial codes. Second, we introduce a generalization of spin-coherent states, extending our characterization to qudit binomial codes and yielding a new multi-qudit code.
