description: In the past few years, a plethora of methods for rare variant association with phenotype have been proposed. These methods aggregate information from multiple rare variants across genomic region(s), but there is little consensus as to which method is most effective. The weighting scheme adopted when aggregating information across variants is one of the primary determinants of effectiveness. Here we present a systematic evaluation of multiple weighting schemes through a series of simulations intended to mimic large sequencing studies of a quantitative trait. We evaluate existing phenotype-independent and -dependent methods, as well as weights estimated by penalized regression approaches including Lasso, Elastic Net and SCAD. We find that the difference in power between phenotype-dependent schemes is negligible when high quality functional annotations are available. When functional annotations are unavailable or incomplete, all methods suffer from power loss; however, the variable selection methods outperform the others at the cost of increased computational time. Therefore, in the absence of good annotation, we recommend variable selection methods (which can be viewed as “statistical annotation”) on top regions implicated by a phenotype independent weighting scheme. Further, once a region is implicated, variable selection can help to identify potential causal SNPs for biological validation. These findings are supported by an analysis of a high coverage targeted sequencing study of 1898 individuals.

description: The FeSe superconductor and its related systems have attracted much attention in the iron-based superconductors owing to their simple crystal structure and peculiar electronic and physical properties. The bulk FeSe superconductor has a superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of ~8 K; it can be dramatically enhanced to 37 K at high pressure. On the other hand, its cousin system, FeTe, possesses a unique antiferromagnetic ground state but is non-superconducting. Substitution of Se by Te in the FeSe superconductor results in an enhancement of Tc up to 14.5 K and superconductivity can persist over a large composition range in the Fe(Se,Te) system. Intercalation of the FeSe superconductor leads to the discovery of the AxFe2-ySe2 (A=K, Cs and Tl) system that exhibits a Tc higher than 30 K and a unique electronic structure of the superconducting phase. The latest report of possible high temperature superconductivity in the single-layer FeSe/SrTiO3 films with a Tc above 65 K has generated much excitement in the community. This pioneering work opens a door for interface superconductivity to explore for high Tc superconductors. The distinct electronic structure and superconducting gap, layer-dependent behavior and insulator-superconductor transition of the FeSe/SrTiO3 films provide critical information in understanding the superconductivity mechanism of the iron-based superconductors. In this paper, we present a brief review on the investigation of the electronic structure and superconductivity of the FeSe superconductor and related systems, with a particular focus on the FeSe films.

description: Semantic syncretism of attributive adverbs of B. Pasternak’s lyrics The article is devoted to the phenomenon of qualitative-quantitative semantic syncretism and specifics of its manifestation at the level of adverbial lexemes of B. Pasternak’s lyrics. Adverbs which on the basis of the primary qualitative meaning develop quantitative semes are described. It is found out that syncretical adverbial lexemes differ on degree of explication of semes ‘quality’ and ‘quantity’. The structural-semantic peculiarities of adverbs providing combination of these semes are given. The research also defines how the poet uses the syntagmatic potential of adverbial lexemes to increase its ambivalence. Modes and ways of actualization of adverbial syncretism in B. Pasternak’s poetic texts are defined. The author of the article shows importance of syncretical adverbs in artistic system of the poet. It is proved that these lexemes are actively used by B. Pasternak to express of the key motives of his creativity. Polysemantic adverbs help the poet to give to poetic lines vigor and at the same time special semantic density.

description: Objective scope in English biographical narrative: typology of referential relations The article deals with the formation of objective potential of English biographical narrative using the notions of the referential capacity of the narrative and the asymmetry of referential relations. The hypothesis is that the possible world embodied in fictional world of the narrative is based on the mechanisms of reference similar to that of the real world. The problem of truth-fiction manifestations in biographical narrative gives rise to the twofold referential relatedness which is revealed through objective reference and cognitive reference. In this research, five types of the asymmetry of referential relations are singled out: (a) asymmetry of biographical facts, (b) asymmetry of dialogic relations “narrator-character”, (c) physical asymmetry, (d) spatial and temporal asymmetry, and (d) logic and semantic asymmetry.

description: As galaxy surveys begin to measure the imprint of baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) on large-scale structure at the sub-percent level, reconstruction techniques that reduce the contamination from nonlinear clustering become increasingly important. Inverting the nonlinear continuity equation, we propose an Eulerian growth-shift reconstruction algorithm that does not require the displacement of any objects, which is needed for the standard Lagrangian BAO reconstruction algorithm. In real-space DM-only simulations the algorithm yields 95% of the BAO signal-to-noise obtained from standard reconstruction. The reconstructed power spectrum is obtained by adding specific simple 3- and 4-point statistics to the pre-reconstruction power spectrum, making it very transparent how additional BAO information from higher-point statistics is included in the power spectrum through the reconstruction process. Analytical models of the reconstructed density for the two algorithms agree at second order. Based on similar modeling efforts, we introduce four additional reconstruction algorithms and discuss their performance.

description: Political identity and political identification of One Russia and the president Władimir Putin The author of this article undertakes attempts of determination what the political identity is, indicating also similarity between this term and the term with social, national identity. By analyzing the similarity between the Polish and Russian languages the author claims that it results from a wrong interpretation of a term „identity” as well as from the process of identifying which accompanies it. In a practical part of the article the author examines an electoral program of One Russia and speeches of the president Putin in order to name values important for them and to determine their political identity. By naming linguistic means which are used by the examined parties the author concludes that they have one common political identity which is based on conservative values. The author also presents a thesis that one political identity which would be common for the Russian nationality does not exist.

description: We study the symplectic reduction of the phase space describing $k$ particles in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with total angular momentum zero. This corresponds to the singular symplectic quotient associated to the diagonal action of $\operatorname{O}_n$ on $k$ copies of $\mathbb{C}^n$ at the zero value of the homogeneous quadratic moment map. We give a description of the ideal of relations of the ring of regular functions of the symplectic quotient. Using this description, we demonstrate $\mathbb{Z}^+$-graded regular symplectomorphisms among the $\operatorname{O}_n$- and $\operatorname{SO}_n$-symplectic quotients and determine which of these quotients are graded regularly symplectomorphic to linear symplectic orbifolds. We demonstrate that when $n \leq k$, the zero fibre of the moment map has rational singularities and hence is normal and Cohen-Macaulay. We also demonstrate that for small values of $k$, the ring of regular functions on the symplectic quotient is graded Gorenstein.

description: Recently, many statistical methods have been proposed to test for associations between rare genetic variants and complex traits. Most of these methods test for association by aggregating genetic variations within a predefined region, such as a gene. Although there is evidence that “aggregate” tests are more powerful than the single marker test, these tests generally ignore neutral variants and therefore are unable to identify specific variants driving the association with phenotype. We propose a novel aggregate rare-variant test that explicitly models a fraction of variants as neutral, tests associations at the gene-level, and infers the rare-variants driving the association. Simulations show that in the practical scenario where there are many variants within a given region of the genome with only a fraction causal our approach has greater power compared to other popular tests such as the Sequence Kernel Association Test (SKAT), the Weighted Sum Statistic (WSS), and the collapsing method of Morris and Zeggini (MZ). Our algorithm leverages a fast variational Bayes approximate inference methodology to scale to exome-wide analyses, a significant computational advantage over exact inference model selection methodologies. To demonstrate the efficacy of our methodology we test for associations between von Willebrand Factor (VWF) levels and VWF missense rare-variants imputed from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s Exome Sequencing project into 2,487 African Americans within the VWF gene. Our method suggests that a relatively small fraction (~10%) of the imputed rare missense variants within VWF are strongly associated with lower VWF levels in African Americans.

description: The myth of the Hesperides’ golden apples in Matteo Maria Boiardo’s Orlando Innamorato and Giovanni Pontano’s De hortis Hesperidum sive de cultu citriorum The eleventh Hercules’ labour was the conquest of the Hesperides’ golden apples. Those precious fruits, Gea’s wedding gift for Zeus and Hera, were planted in a beautiful garden situated in the world’s end. The guardians of this place were three nymphs called Hesperides and a snake. Two remarkable humanists of the Italian Quattrocento, Matteo Maria Boiardo and Giovanni Pontano, inspired by the ancient myth, recall in their poems an image of a garden in which grows a tree with mysterious golden apples. They give two different interpretations of this mythological motif. Falerina’s garden in the Cantos IV and V of the volume II of Orlando Innamorato is a very dangerous place. The tree that grows in the middle of this false Eden kills everyone who approaches it with a rain of enormous and heavy golden fruits. Giovanni Pontano indentifies the Hesperides’ golden apples with citrus fruits cultivated in the southern Italy and invents a legend about the origine of those plants. He imagines that Venus transformed the body of her beloved Adonis into a beautiful citrus tree.

description: We provide a geometric method to stabilize asymptotically with phase an arbitrary fixed periodic orbit of a locally generic three-dimensional Hamiltonian dynamical system. The main advantage of this method is that one needs not know a parameterization of the orbit to be stabilized, but only the values of the Hamiltonian and a fixed Casimir (of the Poisson configuration manifold) at that orbit. The stabilization procedure is illustrated in the case of the Rikitake model of geomagnetic reversal.

Functional-Mixed Effects Models for Candidate Genetic Mapping in Imaging Genetic Studies

description: The aim of this paper is to develop a functional mixed effects modeling (FMEM) framework for the joint analysis of high-dimensional imaging data in a large number of locations (called voxels) of a three-dimensional volume with a set of genetic markers and clinical covariates. Our FMEM is extremely useful for effciently carrying out the candidate gene approaches in imaging genetic studies. FMEM consists of two novel components including a mixed effects model for modeling nonlinear genetic effects on imaging phenotypes by introducing the genetic random effects at each voxel and a jumping surface model for modeling the variance components of the genetic random effects and fixed effects as piecewise smooth functions of the voxels. Moreover, FMEM naturally accommodates the correlation structure of genetic markers at each voxel, while the jumping surface model explicitly incorporates the intrinsically spatial smoothness of the imaging data. We propose a novel two-stage adaptive smoothing procedure to spatially estimate the piecewise smooth functions, particularly the irregular functional genetic variance components, while preserving their edges among different piecewise-smooth regions. We develop weighted likelihood ratio tests and derive their exact approximations to test the effect of the genetic markers across voxels. Simulation studies show that FMEM significantly outperforms voxel-wise approaches in terms of higher sensitivity and specificity to identify regions of interest for carrying out candidate genetic mapping in imaging genetic studies. Finally, FMEM is used to identify brain regions affected by three candidate genes including CR1, CD2AP, and PICALM, thereby hoping to shed light on the pathological interactions between these candidate genes and brain structure and function.

description: We consider disordered pinning models, when the return time distribution of the underlying renewal process has a polynomial tail with exponent $α\in (1/2,1)$. This corresponds to a regime where disorder is known to be relevant, i.e. to change the critical exponent of the localization transition and to induce a non-trivial shift of the critical point. We show that the free energy and critical curve have an explicit universal asymptotic behavior in the weak coupling regime, depending only on the tail of the return time distribution and not on finer details of the models. This is obtained comparing the partition functions with corresponding continuum quantities, through coarse-graining techniques.

Meta-Analysis of Sequencing Studies With Heterogeneous Genetic Associations

Year: 2014

description: Recent advances in sequencing technologies have made it possible to explore the influence of rare variants on complex diseases and traits. Meta-analysis is essential to this exploration because large sample sizes are required to detect rare variants. Several methods are available to conduct meta-analysis for rare variants under fixed-effects models, which assume that the genetic effects are the same across all studies. In practice, genetic associations are likely to be heterogeneous among studies because of differences in population composition, environmental factors, phenotype and genotype measurements, or analysis method. We propose random-effects models which allow the genetic effects to vary among studies and develop the corresponding meta-analysis methods for gene-level association tests. Our methods take score statistics, rather than individual participant data, as input and thus can accommodate any study designs and any phenotypes. We produce the random-effects versions of all commonly used gene-level association tests, including burden, variable threshold, and variance-component tests. We demonstrate through extensive simulation studies that our random-effects tests are substantially more powerful than the fixed-effects tests in the presence of moderate and high between-study heterogeneity and achieve similar power to the latter when the heterogeneity is low. The usefulness of the proposed methods is further illustrated with data from National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Exome Sequencing Project (NHLBI ESP). The relevant software is freely available.
Testing the independence of two random vectors where only one dimension is large

description: For testing the independence of two vectors with respective dimensions $p_1$ and $p_2$, the existing literature in high-dimensional statistics all assume that both dimensions $p_1$ and $p_2$ grow to infinity with the sample size. However, as evidenced in the RNA-sequencing data analysis discussed in the paper, it happens frequently that one of the dimension is quite small and the other quite large compared to the sample size. In this paper, we address this new asymptotic framework for the independence test. A new test procedure is introduced and its asymptotic normality is established when the vectors are normal distributed. A Mote-Carlo study demonstrates the consistency of the procedure and exhibits its superiority over some existing high-dimensional procedures. Applied to the RNA-sequencing data mentioned above, we obtain very convincing results on pairwise independence/dependence of gene isoform expressions as attested by prior knowledge established in that field. Lastly, Monte-Carlo experiments show that the procedure is robust against the normality assumption on the population vectors.

description: Turkish womanish dramaturgy: origin, development, conflict The article is devoted to the research of origin and becoming of womanish Turkish drama, its active development, subject of plays. Modern Turkish dramaturgy is problem and scantily explored part of the Turkish culture. Presently in Ukrainian Orientalizm there is lack of valuable researches, touching the problem of Turkish author dramaturgy and womanish author dramaturgy in particular. The purpose of the article is an attempt to fill certain compartments in research of Turkish womanish dramaturgy. Turkish womanish drama from the period of origin and to the present tense puts the main questions of existence of individual in society, influences of society on life of personality, forming of world view in a modern life. The main heroines of Turkish womanish drama are women which a conflict is opened out round. These are heroines of certain age and social level, the eyes of which Turkish society sees existent problems. Characters in works of the Turkish women-dramatists pass an internal psychological conflict, direct-coupled with common to all mankind conflicts, that in a great deal coincides with appearances of women in works of dramatists-men. The Turkish womendramatists aim not to yield to the men-dramatists in spaces of literary process, to what new themes and genres testify in their creation. Reality of Turkish womanish dramaturgy of contemporaneity is a lack of the womanish names; quality of literary self-knowledge of women-authoresses is indisputable though. Womanish literature is a theme which caused and continues to cause sharp discussions, it is important and living part of world literature, therefore needs further researches.

We develop a general and flexible context for differential calculus in derived geometry, including the de Rham algebra and polyvector fields. We then introduce the formalism of formal derived stacks and prove formal localization and gluing results. These allow us to define shifted Poisson structures on general derived Artin stacks, and prove that the non-degenerate Poisson structures correspond exactly to shifted symplectic forms. Shifted deformation quantization for a derived Artin stack endowed with a shifted Poisson structure is discussed in the last section. This paves the way for shifted deformation quantization of many interesting derived moduli spaces, like those studied in [PTVV] and probably many others.

We generalize the idea of quantum clock time to quantum spacetime reference frame via physical realization of a reference system by quantum rulers and clocks. Omitting the internal degrees of freedom (such as spins) of the physical rulers and clocks, only considering their metric properties, the spacetime reference frame is described by a bosonic non-linear sigma model (NLSM). We study the quantum behavior of the system under approximations, and obtain (1) a cosmological constant valued $(2/π)ρ_{c0}$ ($ρ_{c0}$ the critical density at near current epoch) which is very close to the observations; (2) an effective Einstein-Hilbert term; (3) the ratio of variance to mean-squared of spacetime interval tends to a universal constant $2/π$ in the infrared region. This effect is testable by observing a linear dependence between the inherent quantum variance and mean-squared of the redshifts from cosmic distant spectral lines. The proportionality is expected to be the observed percentage of the dark energy. The equivalence principle is also generalized to the quantum level.

It is shown, that the motif of blindness carries out the key meaning-formative function and acquires symbolic meaning. This motif is mapped to the image of narrator as an artistic whole and highlights its most important hypostasis – the poet-prophet, spiritually crippled by his omniscience and pansophy, having lost communication with his “native paradise”.

The need for nuclear data for nuclear fusion applications

description: Following the advent of ignition and a recent high gain shot at Lawrence Livermore’s National Ignition Facility there has been an increasing interest and investment into fusion energy. In addition to creating energy, the $T(D,n)\alpha$ fusion reaction that drives fusion power consumes tritium and produces a 14.1 MeV energetic neutron capable of producing significant damage in virtually all materials. Furthermore, the energetic neutron is needed to produce additional tritium to create a closed fuel cycle. These requirements drive the need for increased scrutiny of fusion relevant cross-sections including those for damage and tritium breeding reactions. With the ultimate backbone of damage, activity, and energy production calculations reliant on the legitimacy and accuracy of nuclear cross-section data from evaluated nuclear data libraries, the ultimate goal of this paper is to identify neutron-induced cross-sections in need of further investigation from a 14.1 MeV spectra. 



Unfortunately, there are no quantitatively accurate models of 14.1 MeV neutron-induced nuclear reaction cross sections. There are however physics-based models that when "tuned" to reproduce experimental can be used quantitatively. This tuning process is referred to as evaluation and requires high-quality measured data for all possible reaction channels for a given target and incident neutron energy. The purpose of this presentation is to review the quality of the existing experimental data for $(n_{14},x)$ cross sections of high-relevance to fusion power systems.

description: Twin data are commonly used for studying complex psychiatric disorders, and mixed effects models are one of the most popular tools for modeling dependence structures between twin pairs. However, for eQTL (expression quantitative trait loci) data where associations between thousands of transcripts and millions of single nucleotide polymorphisms need to be tested, mixed effects models are computationally inefficient and often impractical. In this paper, we propose a fast eQTL analysis approach for twin eQTL data where we randomly split twin pairs into two groups, so that within each group the samples are unrelated, and we then apply a multiple linear regression analysis separately to each group. A score statistic that automatically adjusts the (hidden) correlation between the two groups is constructed for combining the results from the two groups. The proposed method has well-controlled type I error. Compared to mixed effects models, the proposed method has similar power but drastically improved computational efficiency. We demonstrate the computational advantage of the proposed method via extensive simulations. The proposed method is also applied to a large twin eQTL data from the Netherlands Twin Register.

description: The Chekhovian intertext in Lyudmila Petrushevskaya’s drama (Based on the comedy Three girls in blue) In the literary process of the twentieth century the Chekhovian tradition is one of the most unwavering and significant. There are many contemporary dramatic works which create an intertextual relationships with Chekhov – playwright. An example is the comedy Three girls in blue of Petrushevskaya Lyudmila in which Chekhovian impact, of the Three Sisters, is very important. L. Petrushevskaya refers into playwright’s intertext at the level of: title art, monologue form, content, etc.

Perron Spectratopes and the Real Nonnegative Inverse Eigenvalue Problem

description: Call an $n$-by-$n$ invertible matrix $S$ a \emph{Perron similarity} if there is a real non-scalar diagonal matrix $D$ such that $S D S^{-1}$ is entrywise nonnegative. We give two characterizations of Perron similarities and study the polyhedra $\mathcal{C}(S) := \{ x \in \mathbb{R}^n: S D_x S^{-1} \geq 0,~D_x := \text{diag}(x) \}$ and $\mathcal{P})(S) := \{x \in \mathcal{C}(S) : x_1 = 1 \}$, which we call the \emph{Perron spectracone} and \emph{Perron spectratope}, respectively. The set of all normalized real spectra of diagonalizable nonnegative matrices may be covered by Perron spectratopes, so that enumerating them is of interest. The Perron spectracone and spectratope of Hadamard matrices are of particular interest and tend to have large volume. For the canonical Hadamard matrix (as well as other matrices), the Perron spectratope coincides with the convex hull of its rows. In addition, we provide a constructive version of a result due to Fiedler (\cite[Theorem 2.4]{f1974}) for Hadamard orders, and a constructive version of \cite[Theorem 5.1]{bh1991} for Sule\uımanova spectra.

Donor text in the mirror of psychoanalysis (Petrushevskaja and Chekhov)

Year: 2015

description: Donor text in the mirror of psychoanalysis (Petrushevskaja and Chekhov) In the article Donor text in the mirror of psychoanalysis (Petrushevskaja and Chekhov) the author examines intertextual roll in the works of Wild Animals’ of Tales of Ludmila Petrushevskaja and its pre-source – Anton Chekhov’s drama The Seagull. A tool for the analysis and interpretation of Chekhov’s text is an intertext of L.A. Petrushevskaja. It is also an element of debunking and correction of Chekhov’s concept from the standpoint of the Oedipus complex. Remake of Wild Animals’ of Tales in some way is an unconscious struggle of a contemporary author with his creative progenitor, playwright, which dramatically influenced on is creative development. Petrushevskaja concentrates biologize Chekhov separating from his plays, in fact, his own postmodern self-portrait. Thus, indirectly makes a complaint to the modernist “underdeveloped” of his writing, stylistically and conceptually competes with it.

description: We prove that the continuous cohomology of $\text{Isom}^+(\mathbb{H}^n)$ can be measurably realized on the boundary of hyperbolic space. This implies in particular that for $\text{Isom}^+(\mathbb{H}^n)$ the comparison map from continuous bounded cohomology to continuous cohomology is injective in degree $3$. We furthermore prove a stability result for the continuous bounded cohomology of $\text{Isom}(\mathbb{H}^n)$ and $\text{Isom}(\mathbb{H}_{\mathbb{C}}^n)$.

Prose of these artists is the typological branch of the immigrant prose, which is typical for neo-realist synthesis mythopoetical dominant; while in their texts large plot-function lyrical beginning. In the presented examples, we can see that the inclusion of narrative imagery songs and singing was in each case their individual copyrights shades of meaning, but it has always been associated with the decision of the conceptual ideas of their works, enriching and deepening these ideas, giving them a lyrical warmth symbolic enlargement, axiological significance.
