description: Industrial, metrological, and medical applications provide a strong technological pull for advanced nanoscale sensors exploiting the unique sensitivity of quantum coherent systems to their environments. Essential to the functionality of these devices is the availability of control protocols which shape the sensor's response to the environment in frequency space. However, a key challenge in these applications is that common control routines result in out-of-band spectral leakage which complicates interpretation of the sensor's signal. In this work we demonstrate provably optimal narrowband control protocols ideally suited to quantum sensing. Our results, based on experiments with trapped ions using modulation in the form of discrete prolate spheroidal sequences (aka Slepian functions), demonstrate reduction of spectral leakage by orders of magnitude over conventional controls. We tune the narrowband sensitivity using concepts from RF engineering and experimentally reconstruct complex noise spectra using engineered noise for quantitative performance evaluation. We then deploy these techniques to identify previously immeasurable frequency-resolved amplitude noise in our qubit synthesis chain with calibrated sensitivity better than 0.001 dB.

description: Recent integral field spectroscopy observations have found that about 11% of galaxies show star-gas misalignment. The misalignment possibly results from external effects such as gas accretion, interaction with other objects, and other environmental effects, hence providing clues to these effects. We explore the properties of misaligned galaxies using Horizon-AGN, a large-volume cosmological simulation, and compare the result with the result of the Sydney-AAO Multi-object integral field spectrograph (SAMI) Galaxy Survey. Horizon-AGN can match the overall misalignment fraction and reproduces the distribution of misalignment angles found by observations surprisingly closely. The misalignment fraction is found to be highly correlated with galaxy morphology both in observations and in the simulation: early-type galaxies are substantially more frequently misaligned than late-type galaxies. The gas fraction is another important factor associated with misalignment in the sense that misalignment increases with decreasing gas fraction. However, there is a significant discrepancy between the SAMI and Horizon-AGN data in the misalignment fraction for the galaxies in dense (cluster) environments. We discuss possible origins of misalignment and disagreement.

description: In this paper, we aim to predict conversion and time-to-conversion of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients using multi-modal neuroimaging data and clinical data, via cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. However, such data are often heterogeneous, high-dimensional, noisy, and incomplete. We thus propose a framework that includes sparse feature selection, low-rank affinity pursuit denoising (LRAD), and low-rank matrix completion (LRMC) in this study. Specifically, we first use sparse linear regressions to remove unrelated features. Then, considering the heterogeneity of the MCI data, which can be assumed as a union of multiple subspaces, we propose to use a low rank subspace method (i.e., LRAD) to denoise the data. Finally, we employ LRMC algorithm with three data fitting terms and one inequality constraint for joint conversion and time-to-conversion predictions. Our framework aims to answer a very important but yet rarely explored question in AD study, i.e., when will the MCI convert to AD? This is different from survival analysis, which provides the probabilities of conversion at different time points that are mainly used for global analysis, while our time-to-conversion prediction is for each individual subject. Evaluations using the ADNI dataset indicate that our method outperforms conventional LRMC and other state-of-the-art methods. Our method achieves a maximal pMCI classification accuracy of 84% and time prediction correlation of 0.665.

description: Protein kinases represent one of the largest gene families in eukaryotes and play roles in a wide range of cell signaling processes and human diseases. Current tools for visualizing kinase data in the context of the human kinome superfamily are limited to encoding data through the addition of nodes to a low-resolution image of the kinome tree. We present Coral, a user-friendly interactive web application for visualizing both quantitative and qualitative data. Unlike previous tools, Coral can encode data in three features (node color, node size, and branch color), allows three modes of kinome visualization (the traditional kinome tree as well as radial and dynamic force networks), and generates high-resolution scalable vector graphics files suitable for publication without the need for refinement using graphics editing software. Due to its user-friendly, interactive, and highly customizable design, Coral is broadly applicable to high-throughput studies of the human kinome. The source code and web application are available at github.com/dphansti/CORAL and phanstiel-lab.med.unc.edu/Coral, respectively.

description: Single-exposure spectra in large spectral surveys are valuable for time domain studies such as stellar variability, but there is no available method to eliminate cosmic rays for single-exposure, multi-fiber spectral images. In this paper, we describe a new method to detect and remove cosmic rays in multi-fiber spectroscopic single exposures. Through the use of two-dimensional profile fitting and a noise model that considers the position-dependent errors, we successfully detect as many as 80% of the cosmic rays and correct the cosmic ray polluted pixels to an average accuracy of 97.8%. Multiple tests and comparisons with both simulated data and real LAMOST data show that the method works properly in detection rate, false detection rate, and validity of cosmic ray correction.

description: The rapid progress in quantum technology enables the implementation of artificial many-body systems with correlated photons and polaritons. A multiconnected Jaynes-Cummings (MCJC) lattice can be constructed by connecting qubits and cavities alternatively. Such kind of models can be realized with superconducting qubits coupled to superconducting microwave resonators or with quantum dots coupled to optical nanocavities. We study physical properties of the one-dimensional MCJC lattice using the density-matrix renormalization group method. This model has an intrinsic symmetry between the left and right qubit-cavity couplings. The competition between these couplings may drive the ground state either to a Mott-insulating or to a superfluid phase at an integer filling. We calculate the single-particle and density-density correlation functions, the correlation lengths in the Mott-insulating phase and the Luttinger parameters in the superfluid phase, and determine accurately the critical points that separate these two phases.

description: Protein phosphatases and kinases play critical roles in a host of biological processes and diseases via the removal and addition of phosphoryl groups. While kinases have been extensively studied for decades, recent findings regarding the specificity and activities of phosphatases have generated an increased interest in targeting phosphatases for pharmaceutical development. This increased focus has created a need for methods to visualize this important class of proteins within the context of the entire phosphatase protein family. Here, we present CoralP, an interactive web application for the generation of customizable, publication-quality representations of human phosphatome data. Phosphatase attributes can be encoded through edge colors, node colors, and node sizes. CoralP is the first and currently the only tool designed for phosphatome visualization and should be of great use to the signaling community.

Understanding evolution of NSW coastal dunefields using LiDAR‐derived dune crest mapping
Creators: name: Farebrother, William
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Studies have highlighted the need to understand how coastal dunefields evolve over time, to inform their future management. This thesis explores how sand supply can influence the formation and evolution of coastal dunefields through the analysis of LiDAR-derived DEMs. This thesis presents two papers; (1) exploring long-term evolution of NSW coastal dunefields, and (2) exploring the shorter mmigration patterns within the southern Newcastle Bight. Through volumetric analyses, utilising a novel automated dune crest mapping approach, it was found that the Seal Rocks dunefield experienced a decrease in sediment supply during the late Holocene, while Booderee and the Newcastle Bight experienced an increase in supply. We suggest that over the late Holocene, small variations in wave climates supplying sediment to these dunefields may have resulted in this variability; however any such fluctuation cannot be reliably detected from the orientation of the transgressive dunes. Short-term dune migration (2007-2013) within the southern Newcastle Bight was found to be dominated by the SW-NE oriented dunes moving towards the NW, and the NW-SE oriented dunes towards the NE.

description: The authors of ref. Phys.Rev. D94 (2016) no.1, 014502 reported about a careful analysis of the impact of lattice artifacts on the $SU(3)$ gauge-field propagators. In particular, they found that the low-momentum behavior of the renormalized propagators depends on the lattice bare coupling and interpreted this fact as the result of it being affected by finite lattice spacing artifacts. We do not share this interpretation and present here a different and more suitable explanation for these results.

description: We address the problem of superconductivity for non-Fermi liquids using two commonly adopted, yet apparently distinct methods: 1) the renormalization group (RG) and 2) Eliashberg theory. The extent to which both methods yield consistent solutions for the low energy behavior of quantum metals has remained unclear. We show that the perturbative RG beta function for the 4-Fermi coupling can be explicitly derived from the linearized Eliashberg equations, under the assumption that quantum corrections are approximately local across energy scales. We apply our analysis to the test case of phonon mediated superconductivity and show the consistency of both the Eliashberg and RG treatments. We next study superconductivity near a class of quantum critical points and find a transition between superconductivity and a "naked" metallic quantum critical point with finite, critical BCS couplings. We speculate on the applications of our theory to the phenomenology of unconventional metals.

description: While convolutional neural network (CNN) has been demonstrating powerful ability to learn hierarchical spatial features from medical images, it is still difficult to apply it directly to resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) and the derived brain functional networks (BFNs). We propose a novel CNN framework to simultaneously learn embedded features from BFNs for brain disease diagnosis. Since BFNs can be built by considering both static and dynamic functional connectivity (FC), we first decompose rs-fMRI into multiple static BFNs with modified independent component analysis. Then, the voxel-wise variability in dynamic FC is used to quantify BFN dynamics. A set of paired 3D images representing static/dynamic BFNs can be fed into 3D CNNs, from which we can hierarchically and simultaneously learn static/dynamic BFN features. As a result, the dynamic BFN features can complement static BFN features and, at the meantime, different BFNs can help each other toward a joint and better classification. We validate our method with a publicly accessible, large cohort of rs-fMRI dataset in early-stage mild cognitive impairment (eMCI) diagnosis, which is one of the most challenging problems to the clinicians. By comparing with a conventional method, our method shows significant diagnostic performance improvement by almost 10%. This result demonstrates the effectiveness of deep learning in preclinical Alzheimer's disease diagnosis, based on the complex and high-dimensional voxel-wise spatiotemporal patterns of the resting-state brain functional connectomics. The framework provides a new but intuitive way to fully exploit deeply embedded diagnostic features from rs-fMRI for a better-individualized diagnosis of various neurological diseases.
Correcting conditional mean imputation for censored covariates and improving usability

Publisher: name: Wiley

description: Missing data are often overcome using imputation, which leverages the entire dataset to replace missing values with informed placeholders. This method can be modified for censored data by also incorporating partial information from censored values. One such modification proposed by Atem et al. (2017, 2019a, 2019b) is conditional mean imputation where censored covariates are replaced by their conditional means given other fully observed information. These methods are robust to additional parametric assumptions on the censored covariate and utilize all available data, which is appealing. However, in implementing these methods, we discovered that these three articles provide nonequivalent formulas and, in fact, none is the correct formula for the conditional mean. Herein, we derive the correct form of the conditional mean and discuss the bias incurred when using the incorrect formulas. Furthermore, we note that even the correct formula can perform poorly for log hazard ratios far from . We also provide user-friendly R software, the imputeCensoRd package, to enable future researchers to tackle censored covariates correctly.

description: We present a hybrid laser frequency stabilization method combining modulation transfer spectroscopy (MTS) and frequency modulation spectroscopy (FMS) for the cesium D2 transition. In a typical pump-probe setup, the error signal is a combination of the DC-coupled MTS error signal and the AC-coupled FMS error signal. This combines the long-term stability of the former with the high signal-to-noise ratio of the latter. In addition, we enhance the long-term frequency stability with laser intensity stabilization. By measuring the frequency difference between two independent hybrid spectroscopies, we investigate the short-term and long-term stability. We find a long-term stability of 7.8 kHz characterized by a standard deviation of the beating frequency drift over the course of 10 hours, and a short-term stability of 1.9 kHz characterized by an Allan deviation of that at 2 seconds of integration time.

Voluntary greenhouse gas emissions: A framework for analysis

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Australia's National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (NGER Act 2007) establishes a mandatory framework for corporate reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, not all businesses meet the NGER's mandatory reporting threshold. Ninety-five per cent of listed companies are estimated to fall outside the scope of the legislation. This thesis investigates how corporations outside the ambit of the NGER Act 2007 meet their GHG reporting obligations. It examines the extent to which a framework can be developed to achieve a trade-off between its mandatory and voluntary GHG reporting practices. The thesis undertakes a systematic review of 62 peer-reviewed articles from 2008 to 2016 relating to voluntary GHG reporting practice in Australia, and a content analysis of 2013 annual reports, sustainability reports and Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) reports from four Australian listed companies and two local government councils. The analysis reveals that the voluntary GHG reporting practices of entities (corporate and local government) that are not subject to the NGER regime lack consistency, comparability and transparency. California's voluntary GHG reporting regime is then contrasted with Australia's. Under its cap-and-trade regulation, California has developed a robust voluntary GHG reporting program within a framework that requires local governments and organisations to design a consistent assessment mechanism to keep track of their GHG emission allowances. The results make it clear that formal emissions reporting regimes foster a systematic and improved voluntary GHG disclosure culture. The thesis concludes by suggesting that for Australia to achieve verifiable emissions reductions in line with its international commitments, the way forward is to adopt a framework akin to California's voluntary GHG reporting under mandatory legislation.

description: Triggered star formation around HII regions could be an important process. The Galactic HII region RCW 79 is a prototypical object for triggered high-mass star formation. We take advantage of Herschel data from the surveys HOBYS, "Evolution of Interstellar Dust", and Hi-Gal to extract compact sources in this region, complemented with archival 2MASS, Spitzer, and WISE data to determine the physical parameters of the sources (e.g., envelope mass, dust temperature, and luminosity) by fitting the spectral energy distribution. We obtained a sample of 50 compact sources, 96% of which are situated in the ionization-compressed layer of cold and dense gas that is characterized by the column density PDF with a double-peaked lognormal distribution. The 50 sources have sizes of 0.1-0.4 pc with a typical value of 0.2 pc, temperatures of 11-26 K, envelope masses of 6-760 $M_\odot$, densities of 0.1-44 $\times$ $10^5$ cm$^{-3}$, and luminosities of 19-12712 $L_\odot$. The sources are classified into 16 class 0, 19 intermediate, and 15 class I objects. Their distribution follows the evolutionary tracks in the diagram of bolometric luminosity versus envelope mass (Lbol-Menv) well. A mass threshold of 140 $M_\odot$, determined from the Lbol-Menv diagram, yields 12 candidate massive dense cores that may form high-mass stars. The core formation efficiency (CFE) for the 8 massive condensations shows an increasing trend of the CFE with density. This suggests that the denser the condensation, the higher the fraction of its mass transformation into dense cores, as previously observed in other high-mass star-forming regions.

description: Processing with vinegar could enhance the efficacy and reduce the toxicity of Curcuma phaeocaulis Valeton. (Zingiberaceae), a Chinese herbal medicine with anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities. This study investigated the vinegar processing effects by evaluating anti-angiogenic effect and toxicity of C. phaeocaulis through zebrafish and rat models. Zebrafish embryos (AB and FLk-GFP strain) were applied to evaluate toxicity, cardiotoxicity and anti-angiogenic activity of volatile oil, and water decoction of the raw and vinegar-processed C. phaeocaulis. Meanwhile, a blood stasis syndrome rat model was applied to study the toxicity by measuring the ovarian and uterine coefficient. Curcuma phaeocaulis volatile oil and its vinegar-processed products in zebrafish had an LC50 of 67.315 and 95.755 μg/mL, respectively. Curcuma phaeocaulis water decoction and its vinegar-processed products had an LC50 of 161.440 and 206.239 μg/mL, respectively. The toxicity of vinegar-processed products was significantly lower than the raw, and the development characteristic of zebrafish embryos at different times confirmed these results. The volatile oil of vinegar-processed products could inhibit the growth of intersegmental blood vessels at the dose of 20 μg/mL, while the raw materials did not exhibit such effect at the same concentration. The rat experiment also confirmed that the volatile oil could reduce toxicity of ovarian and uterine. The study indicated that processing using vinegar could decrease toxicity and increase anti-angiogenic activity of C. phaeocaulis, which could be applied for clinical treatment. Further in-depth study on the synergism and detoxification mechanism of vinegar processing technology is needed.

description: We study influence of image forces on conductance of ferroelectric tunnel junctions. We show that the influence of image forces is twofold: i) they enhance the electro-resistance effect due to polarization hysteresis in symmetric tunnel junctions at non-zero bias and ii) they produce the electro-resistance effect due to hysteresis of dielectric permittivity of ferroelectric barrier. We study dependence of ferroelectric tunnel junction conductance on temperature and show that image forces lead to strong conductance variation with temperature.

description: In this paper, inference for a competing risks model is studied when latent failure times follow Kumaraswamy distribution and causes of failure are partially observed. Under generalized progressive hybrid censoring, existence and uniqueness of maximum likelihood estimators of model parameters are established. The confidence intervals are obtained by using asymptotic distribution theory. We further compute Bayes estimators along with credible intervals. In addition, inference is also discussed when there is order restricted shape parameters. The performance of all estimates is investigated using Monte-Carlo simulations. Finally, analysis of a real data set is presented for illustration purposes.

description: Streptomyces species are prolific sources of bioactive secondary metabolites known especially for their antimicrobial and anticancer activities. This study sought to isolate and characterize antioxidant molecules biosynthesized by Streptomyces sp. KTM18. The antioxidant potential of an isolated compound and its toxicity were accessed. The compound was purified using bioassay-guided chromatography techniques. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments were carried out for structure elucidation. The antioxidant potential of the isolated compound was determined using DPPH free radical scavenging assay. The toxicity of the isolated compound was measured using a brine shrimp lethality (BSL) assay. Ethyl acetate extract of Streptomyces sp. KTM18 showed more than 90% inhibition of DPPH free radical at 50 µg/mL of the test concentration. These data were the strongest among 13 Streptomyces isolates (KTM12–KTM24). The active molecule was isolated and characterized as maculosin (molecular formula, C14H16N2O3 as determined by the [M + H]+ peak at 261.1259). The DPPH free radical scavenging activity of pure maculosin was higher (IC50, 2.16 ± 0.05 µg/mL) than that of commercial butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) (IC50, 4.8 ± 0.05 µg/mL). No toxicity was observed for maculosin (LD50, <128 µg/mL) in brine shrimp lethality assay (BSLA) up to the compound’s antioxidant activity (IC50) concentration range. The commercial standard, berberine chloride, showed toxicity in BSLA with an LD50 value of 8.63 ± 0.15 µg/mL. Maculosin may be a leading drug candidate in various cosmetic and therapeutic applications owing to its strong antioxidant and non-toxic properties.

description: In proliferating epithelia of mammalian skin, cells of irregular polygonal-like shapes pack into complex nearly flat two-dimensional structures that are pliable to deformations. In this work, we employ various sensitive correlation functions to quantitatively characterize structural features of evolving packings of epithelial cells across length scales in mouse skin. We find that the pair statistics in direct and Fourier spaces of the cell centroids in the early stages of embryonic development show structural directional dependence, while in the late stages the patterns tend towards statistically isotropic states. We construct a minimalist four-component statistical-mechanical model involving effective isotropic pair interactions consisting of hard-core repulsion and extra short-ranged soft-core repulsion beyond the hard core, whose length scale is roughly the same as the hard core. The model parameters are optimized to match the sample pair statistics in both direct and Fourier spaces. By doing this, the parameters are biologically constrained. Our model predicts essentially the same polygonal shape distribution and size disparity of cells found in experiments as measured by Voronoi statistics. Moreover, our simulated equilibrium liquid-like configurations are able to match other nontrivial unconstrained statistics, which is a testament to the power and novelty of the model. We discuss ways in which our model might be extended so as to better understand morphogenesis (in particular the emergence of planar cell polarity), wound-healing, and disease progression processes in skin, and how it could be applied to the design of synthetic tissues.

description: This thesis provides an algebraic modelling and verification of probabilistic concurrent systems in the style of Kleene algebra. Without concurrency, it is shown that the equational theory of continuous probabilistic Kleene algebra is completewith respect to an automata model under standard simulation equivalence. This yields a minimisation-based decision procedure for the algebra. Without probability, an event structure model of Hoare et al.'s concurrent Kleene algebra is constructed. These two algebras are then \merged" to provide probabilistic concurrent Kleene algebra which is used to discover and prove development rules for probabilistic concurrent systems (e.g. rely/guarantee calculus). Soundness of thenew algebra is ensured by models based on probabilistic automata (interleaving) and probabilistic bundle event structures (true concurrency) quotiented with the respective simulation equivalences. Lastly, event structures with implicit probabilitiesare constructed to provide a state based model for the soundness of the probabilistic rely/guarantee rules.

description: We have earlier reported the MOLSDOCK technique to perform rigid receptor/flexible ligand docking. The method uses the MOLS method, developed in our laboratory. In this paper we report iMOLSDOCK, the 'flexible receptor' extension we have carried out to the algorithm MOLSDOCK. iMOLSDOCK uses mutually orthogonal Latin squares (MOLS) to sample the conformation and the docking pose of the ligand and also the flexible residues of the receptor protein. The method then uses a variant of the mean field technique to analyze the sample to arrive at the optimum. We have benchmarked and validated iMOLSDOCK with a dataset of 44 peptide-protein complexes with peptides. We have also compared iMOLSDOCK with other flexible receptor docking tools GOLD v5.2.1 and AutoDock Vina. The results obtained show that the method works better than these two algorithms, though it consumes more computer time.

description: Pregnancy is a high-risk period for HIV acquisition in African women, and pregnant women who become acutely infected with HIV account for up to a third of vertical HIV transmission cases in African settings. To protect women and eliminate vertical transmission, WHO recommends offering oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) based on tenofovir to HIV-negative pregnant and post-partum women with a substantial risk of HIV acquisition. PrEP implementation for pregnant and post-partum women lags behind implementation for other high-risk populations. Unique considerations for PrEP implementation arise during pregnancy and post partum, including the integration of provider training with clinical delivery and monitoring of PrEP exposure and outcomes within existing maternal health systems, yet scarce implementation data are available to generate evidence in this context.

description: The well-known modular property of the torus characters and torus partition functions of (rational) vertex operator algebras (VOAs) and 2d conformal field theories (CFTs) has been an invaluable tool for studying this class of theories. In this work we prove that sphere four-point chiral blocks of rational VOAs are vector-valued modular forms for the groups $Γ(2)$, $Γ_0(2)$, or $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$. Moreover, we prove that the four-point correlators, combining the holomorphic and anti-holomorphic chiral blocks, are modular invariant. In particular, in this language the crossing symmetries are simply modular symmetries. This gives the possibility of exploiting the available techniques and knowledge about modular forms to determine or constrain the physically interesting quantities such as chiral blocks and fusion coefficients, which we illustrate with a few examples. We also highlight the existence of a sphere-torus correspondence equating the sphere quantities of certain theories ${\mathcal T}_s$ with the torus quantities of another family of theories ${\mathcal T}_t$. A companion paper will delve into more examples and explore more systematically this sphere-torus duality.

description: The effectiveness of three stop words lists for Arabic Information Retrieval---General Stoplist, Corpus-Based Stoplist, Combined Stoplist ---were investigated in this study. Three popular weighting schemes were examined: the inverse document frequency weight, probabilistic weighting, and statistical language modelling. The Idea is to combine the statistical approaches with linguistic approaches to reach an optimal performance, and compare their effect on retrieval. The LDC (Linguistic Data Consortium) Arabic Newswire data set was used with the Lemur Toolkit. The Best Match weighting scheme used in the Okapi retrieval system had the best overall performance of the three weighting algorithms used in the study, stoplists improved retrieval effectiveness especially when used with the BM25 weight. The overall performance of a general stoplist was better than the other two lists.
