description: Bayesian networks are a theoretically well-founded approach to represent large multi-variate probability distributions, and have proven useful in a broad range of applications. While several software tools for visualizing and editing Bayesian networks exist, they have important weaknesses when it comes to enabling users to clearly understand and compare conditional probability tables in the context of network topology, especially in large-scale networks. This paper describes a system for improving the ability for computers to work with people to develop intelligent systems through the construction of high-performing Bayesian networks. We describe NetEx, a tool developed as a Cytoscape plugin, which allows a user to visually inspect and compare details concerning multiple nodes in a Bayesian network while maintaining awareness of their network context. It uses a “thought bubble line” to connect nodes in a graph representation and their internal information at the side of the graph. The tool seeks to improve the ability of experts to analyze and debug large Bayesian network models, and to help people to understand how alternative algorithms and Bayesian networks operate, providing insights into how to improve them.

description: Hot Dust-Obscured Galaxies (Hot DOGs) are hyperluminous ($L_{\mathrm{8-1000\,μm}}>10^{13}\,\mathrm{L_\odot}$) infrared galaxies with extremely high (up to hundreds of K) dust temperatures. The sources powering both their extremely high luminosities and dust temperatures are thought to be deeply buried and rapidly accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Hot DOGs could therefore represent a key evolutionary phase in which the SMBH growth peaks. X-ray observations can be used to study their obscuration levels and luminosities. In this work, we present the X-ray properties of the 20 most-luminous ($L_{\mathrm{bol}}\gtrsim10^{14}\, L_\odot$) known Hot DOGs at $z=2-4.6$. Five of them are covered by long-exposure ($10-70$ ks) Chandra and XMM-Newton observations, with three being X-ray detected, and we study their individual properties. One of these sources (W0116$-$0505) is a Compton-thick candidate, with column density $N_H=(1.0-1.5)\times10^{24}\,\mathrm{cm^{-2}}$ derived from X-ray spectral fitting. The remaining 15 Hot DOGs have been targeted by a Chandra snapshot (3.1 ks) survey. None of these 15 is individually detected; therefore we applied a stacking analysis to investigate their average emission. From hardness-ratio analysis, we constrained the average obscuring column density and intrinsic luminosity to be log$N_H\,\mathrm{[cm^{-2}]}>23.5$ and $L_X\gtrsim10^{44}\,\mathrm{erg\,cm^{-2}\,s^{-1}}$, which are consistent with results for individually detected sources. We also investigated the $L_X-L_{6μ\mathrm{m}}$ and $L_X-L_{bol}$ relations, finding hints that Hot DOGs are typically X-ray weaker than expected, although larger samples of luminous obscured QSOs are needed to derive solid conclusions.

description: Using the self-consistent Hartree-Fock method, we calculate the persistent current of weakly-interacting spinless electrons in a one-dimensional ring containing a single delta-barrier. We find that the persistent current decays with the system length (L) asymptotically like $I \propto L^{-1-α}$, where $α> 0$ is the power depending only on the electron-electron interaction. We also simulate tunneling of the weakly-interacting one-dimensional electron gas through a single delta-barrier in a finite wire biased by contacts. We find that the Landauer conductance decays with the system length asymptotically like $L^{-2α}$. The power laws $L^{-1-α}$ and $L^{-2α}$ have so far been observed only in correlated models. Their existence in the Hartree-Fock model is thus surprising.

description: System Health Management (SHM) systems have found their way into many safety-critical aerospace and industrial applications. A SHM system processes readings from sensors throughout the system and uses a Health Management (HM) model to detect and identify potential faults (diagnosis) and to predict possible failures in the near future (prognosis). It is essential that a SHM system, which monitors a safety-critical component, must be at least as reliable and safe as the component itself—false alarms or missed adverse events can potentially result in catastrophic failures. The SHM system including the HM model, a piece of software, must therefore undergo rigorous Verification and Validation (V&V). In this paper, we will describe an advanced technique for the analysis and V&V of Health Management models. Although our technique is generally applicable, we investigate in this paper HM models in the form of Bayesian networks (BNs). BNs are a powerful modeling paradigm to express notions of cause and effect, probability, and reliability. A BN model typically contains many parameters (e.g., thresholds for discretization and conditional probability tables); they need to be set carefully for reliable and accurate HM reasoning. We are investigating the use of Parametric Testing (PT), which uses a combination of n-factor and Monte Carlo methods, to exercise our HM model with variations of perturbed parameters. Multivariate clustering on the analysis is used to automatically find structure in the data set and to support visualization. Our approach can yield valuable insights regarding the sensitivity of parameters and helps to detect safety margins and boundaries. As a case study we use HM models from the NASA Advanced Diagnostics and Prognostics Testbed (ADAPT), which is a realistic hardware setup for a distributed power system as found in spacecraft or aircraft.

description: We give a uniform construction of the higher indices of elliptic operators associated to Alexander-Spanier cocycles of either parity in terms of a pairing a la Connes between the K-theory and the cyclic cohomology of the algebra of complete symbols of pseudodifferential operators, implemented by means of a relative form of the Chern character in cyclic homology. While the formula for the lowest index of an elliptic operator D on a closed manifold M (which coincides with its Fredholm index) reproduces the Atiyah-Singer index theorem, our formula for the highest index of D (associated to a volume cocycle) yields an extension to arbitrary manifolds of any dimension of the Helton-Howe formula for the trace of multicommutators of classical Toeplitz operators on odd-dimensional spheres. In fact, the totality of higher analytic indices for an elliptic operator D amount to a representation of the Connes-Chern character of the K-homology cycle determined by D in terms of expressions which extrapolate the Helton-Howe formula below the dimension of M.

description: FISH and the related in situ hybridization (ISH) techniques provide complementary genomic information to qPCR, ddPCR, NGS, and NanoString techniques. This technology was initially developed as a physical mapping tool to delineate genes within chromosomes. Its high analytical resolution to a single gene level and high sensitivity and specificity enables an immediate application in genetic diagnosis of constitutional common aneuploidies, microdeletion/microduplication syndromes, and subtelomeric rearrangements. FISH tests using panels of gene-specific probes for somatic recurrent losses, gains, and translocations have been routinely applied for hematologic and solid tumors, and are one of the fastest growing areas in cancer diagnosis. FISH has also been used to detect infectious microbia and parasites such as malaria in human blood cells.

We point out that these effects are likely to be much smaller than expected from the reduction of the available phase space. The Lippmann--Schwinger equation for the QCD chromostatic potential is solved numerically for $S$ partial wave. We compare the results on the total cross section, top quark intrinsic momentum distributions and on the energy spectra of $W$ bosons from top quark decays with those obtained for the constant width.

description: The $^{12}\text{C}(α,γ){}^{16}\text{O}$ reaction plays a central role in astrophysics, but its cross section at energies relevant for astrophysical applications is only poorly constrained by laboratory data. The reduced $α$ width, $γ_{11}$, of the bound $1^-$ level in $^{16}$O is particularly important to determine the cross section. The magnitude of $γ_{11}$ is determined via sub-Coulomb $α$-transfer reactions or the $β$-delayed $α$ decay of $^{16}$N, but the latter approach is presently hampered by the lack of sufficiently precise data on the $β$-decay branching ratios. Here we report improved branching ratios for the bound $1^-$ level [$b_{β,11} = (5.02\pm 0.10)\times 10^{-2}$] and for $β$-delayed $α$ emission [$b_{βα} = (1.59\pm 0.06)\times 10^{-5}$]. Our value for $b_{βα}$ is 33% larger than previously held, leading to a substantial increase in $γ_{11}$. Our revised value for $γ_{11}$ is in good agreement with the value obtained in $α$-transfer studies and the weighted average of the two gives a robust and precise determination of $γ_{11}$, which provides significantly improved constraints on the $^{12}$C$(α,γ)$ cross section in the energy range relevant to hydrostatic He burning.

Water vapor emission from IRC+10216 and other carbon-rich stars: model predictions and prospects for multitransition observations

description: We have modeled the emission of H2O rotational lines from the extreme C-rich star IRC+10216. Our treatment of the excitation of H2O emissions takes into account the excitation of H2O both through collisions, and through the pumping of the nu2 and nu3 vibrational states by dust emission and subsequent decay to the ground state. Regardless of the spatial distribution of the water molecules, the H2O 1_{10}-1_{01} line at 557 GHz observed by the Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite (SWAS) is found to be pumped primarily through the absorption of dust-emitted photons at 6 $μ$m in the nu2 band. As noted by previous authors, the inclusion of radiative pumping lowers the ortho-H2O abundance required to account for the 557 GHz emission, which is found to be (0.5-1)x10^{-7} if the presence of H2O is a consequence of vaporization of orbiting comets or Fischer-Tropsch catalysis. Predictions for other submillimeter H2O lines that can be observed by the Herschel Space Observatory (HSO) are reported. Multitransition HSO observations promise to reveal the spatial distribution of the circumstellar water vapor, discriminating among the several hypotheses that have been proposed for the origin of the H2O vapor in the envelope of IRC+10216. We also show that, for observations with HSO, the H2O 1_{10}-1_{01} 557 GHz line affords the greatest sensitivity in searching for H2O in other C-rich AGB stars.

description: A subset of a metric space is a k-distance set if there are exactly k non-zero distances occuring between points. We conjecture that a k-distance set in a d-dimensional Banach space (or Minkowski space), contains at most (k+1)^d points, with equality iff the unit ball is a parallelotope. We solve this conjecture in the affirmative for all 2-dimensional spaces and for spaces where the unit ball is a parallelotope. For general spaces we find various weaker upper bounds for k-distance sets.

description: Extra symmetries are shown to exist in the effective theory of heavy quarks when both quarks and anti-quarks with the same velocity are included. These symmetries mix the quark with the anti-quark sector and they resemble axial-type of symmetries. Together with the known flavor and spin symmetries they form a $u(4)$ algebra when a single flavor is considered. It is shown that the full $U(4)$ set of symmetries breaks spontaneously down to $ U(2) \otimes U(2)$. The Goldstone modes corresponding to the spontaneously broken currents are identified. Finally, the precise connection of this theory with the fundamental QCD is derived and it is investigated under some approximations. Some physical processes where these extra symmetries may be relevant are pointed out.

description: A shift-symmetric Galileon model in presence of spacetime torsion has been constructed for the first time. This has been realized by localizing (or, gauging) the Galileon symmetry in flat spacetime in an appropriate manner. We have applied the above model to study the evolution of the universe at a cosmological scale. Interestingly, for a wide class of torsional structures we have shown that the model leads to late time cosmic acceleration. Furthermore, as torsion vanishes, our model reproduces the standard results.

We discuss the non-uniqueness of the representations for the identity character of the critical Ising model, which arises in both the $A_1$ and $E_8$ cases.

description: Using an approach to analyze the theta dependence of systems with a theta-term we recently proposed, the critical behavior of CP^1 at theta=pi is studied. We find a region outside the strong coupling regime where Haldane's conjecture is verified. The critical line however does not belong to the universality class of the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten model at topological coupling k=1 since it shows continuously varying critical exponents.

description: Abstract 

Introduction: Malnutrition, commonly referred to as undernutrition, is a medical disease brought on by not eating enough food overall, not eating enough of the proper kinds of foods, or the body's inability to process the food that is consumed.

Objectives: To assess the nutritional knowledge and practice of underfive children among mothers in Mudug regional hospital, Galkacyo, Somalia.

Methodology: data was collected primary and secondary source. Primary data was obtained by distributed of questionnaire to the respondents while the secondary data was obtained by the existing reports, books and magazines.

Result: The distribution of educational level of the respondents’ level was illiterate, 19.3% of the respondents were primary level, 4.4% of the respondents were secondary level, and 0.8% of the respondents were university level.

The distribution of economic level of the respondents The majority (57.7%) of the respondents their income is less than $100, 36.5% of the respondents their income is between $100 and $300, and 6.2 of the respondents their income is above $300.

Regarding to the knowledge of the respondents majority of the respondents have moderate knowledge about nutrition. According to their knowledge of malnutrition the majority of the respondents (66.93%) have knowledge about malnutrition, while 33.07% have no knowledge about malnutrition.

Regarding to the practices of preterm baby majority of the respondents has poor practices. According to their practice of breast milk at birth majority of the respondents 52.86% does not breast feed at birth while 47.14% of respondents was breastfed at birth.

Conclusion: The mothers' economic status was very low, and their education was mostly illiterate, which is why their knowledge about child nutrition and practice is low, except for some mothers who receive awareness about breast feeding and the feeding practices of children from MCH.

description: We present a dynamic and thermodynamic study of the orientational glass former Freon113 (CCl2F-CClF2) in order to analyze its kinetic and thermodynamic fragilities. Freon113 displays internal molecular degrees of freedom which promote a complex energy landscape. Experimental specific heat and its microscopic origin, the vibrational density of states from inelastic neutron scattering, together with the orientational dynamics obtained by means of dielectric spectroscopy have revealed the highest fragility value, both thermodynamic and kinetic, found for this orientational glass former. The excess in both Debye-reduced specific heat and density of states (boson peak) evidences the existence of glassy low-energy excitations. We demonstrate that early proposed correlations between the boson peak and the Debye specific heat value are elusive as revealed by the clear counterexample of the studied case.

description: A total of 162 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients were divided into discovery (N = 68) and validation (N = 94) groups. Nine Janus kinase/Signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway-related single nucleotide polymorphisms were selected to explore the potential associations between genetic polymorphisms and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The TT genotype of STAT6 rs324011 was significantly associated with severe ADRs in the recessive genetic model (TT vs. CC + CT, OR = 13.5, 95% CI = 2.12–86.09, p = 0.006 in the discovery group; OR = 8.41, 95% CI = 1.95–36.19, p = 0.004 in the validation group). The T allele was associated with a higher incidence of severe ADRs than was the C allele of rs324011 (OR = 3.67, 95% CI = 1.46–9.19, p = 0.006 in the discovery group; OR = 3.17, 95% CI = 1.44–6.99, p = 0.004 in the validation group). Patients with the CC genotype in STAT3 rs1053023 (and rs1053005) or the TT genotype of STAT6 rs324011 were likely to experience severe epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) related ADRs. A graphical illustration of this study was shown in the Graphical Abstract. The current study process of nine critical SNPs involving the JAK/STAT pathway in Chinese NSCLC participants receiving EGFR-TKIs therapy was illustrated.

Using Bayesian Networks for Candidate Generation in Consistency-based Diagnosis

description: Consistency-based diagnosis relies on the computation of discrepancies between model predictions and sensor observations. The traditional assumption that these discrepancies can be detected accurately (by means of thresholding for example) is in many cases reasonable and leads to strong performance. However, in situations of substantial uncertainty (due, for example, to sensor noise or model abstraction), more robust schemes need to be designed to make a binary decision on whether predictions are consistent with observations or not. However, if an accurate binary decision is not made, there are risks of occurrence of false alarms and missed alarms. Moreover when multiple sensors (with differing sensing properties) are available the degree of match between predictions and observations of each sensor can be used to guide the search for fault candidates (selecting candidates “closer” to sensor observations that are more likely to be inconsistent with corresponding predictions). Using Bayesian networks, we present in this paper a novel approach to candidate generation in consistency-based diagnosis. In our formulation, automatically generated Bayesian networks are used to encode a probabilistic measure of fit between predictions and observations. A Bayesian network inference algorithm is used to compute most probable fault candidates taking into account the degree of fit between predictions and observations for each individual sensor.
Gamma Rays from Small Scale Structures on Long Cosmic Strings

description: The formation of cusps on long cosmic strings is discussed and the probability of cusp formation is estimated. The energy distribution of the gamma-ray background due to cusp annihilation on long strings is calculated and compared to observations. Under optimistic assumptions about the cusp formation rate, we find that strings with a mass per unit length $μ$ less than ${Gμ} = 10^{-14}$ will have an observable effect. However, it is shown that the gamma-ray bursters can not be attributed to long ordinary strings (or loops).

description: Form factors of rare (B -> K_0*(1430) l^+ l^-$ decay) decay are calculated within three-point QCD sum rules, with (K_0* (1430)) being the p-wave scalar meson. The branching ratios are estimated when only short, as well as short and long distance effects, are taken into account.It is obtained that the (B -> K_0*(1430) l^+ l^- (l=e,mu)) decay is measurable at LHC. Measurement of these branching ratios for the semileptonic rare (B -> K_0*(1430) l^+ l^-$ decay) can give valuable information about the nature of scalar meson (K_0* (1430)).

description: One of the main approaches to performing computation in Bayesian networks (BNs) is clique tree clustering and propagation. The clique tree approach consists of propagation in a clique tree compiled from a BN, and while it was introduced in the 1980s, there is still a lack of understanding of how clique tree computation time depends on variations in BN size and structure. In this article, we improve this understanding by developing an approach to characterizing clique tree growth as a function of parameters that can be computed in polynomial time from BNs, specifically: (i) the ratio of the number of a BN’s non-root nodes to the number of root nodes, and (ii) the expected number of moral edges in their moral graphs. Analytically, we partition the set of cliques in a clique tree into different sets, and introduce a growth curve for the total size of each set. For the special case of bipartite BNs, there are two sets and two growth curves, a mixed clique growth curve and a root clique growth curve. In experiments, where random bipartite BNs generated using the BPART algorithm are studied, we systematically increase the out-degree of the root nodes in bipartite Bayesian networks, by increasing the number of leaf nodes. Surprisingly, root clique growth is well-approximated by Gompertz growth curves, an S-shaped family of curves that has previously been used to describe growth processes in biology, medicine, and neuroscience. We believe that this research improves the understanding of the scaling behavior of clique tree clustering for a certain class of Bayesian networks; presents an aid for trade-off studies of clique tree clustering using growth curves; and ultimately provides a foundation for benchmarking and developing improved BN inference and machine learning algorithms.

description: In this paper we analyze the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation on $\mathbb{T}$ with randomized initial data in $\cap_{s < \frac{1}{2}} H^{s}(\mathbb{T})$ according to a Wiener measure. We construct an invariant measure at each sufficiently small, fixed mass $m$ through an argument that emulates the divergence theorem in infinitely many dimensions. We also prove that the density function needed to construct the Wiener measure is in $L^p$, even after scaling of the Fourier coefficients of the intial data.

description: We have investigated the possibility of transit timing variation (TTV) and its plausible cause in the hot-Jupiter systems TrES-3 and Qatar-1. In this study, total160 transit light curves of TrES-3b and 197 transit light curves of Qatar-1b are considered. Using the mid-transit times determined from these light curves, we have improved the transit ephemeris for both these hot-Jupiters. Our timing analysis show the presence of TTVs in these planetary systems that are unlikely to be periodic. To explore the possibility of a long-term TTVs, the orbital decay model was fitted to transit timing data which reveals the period change of 2.71 ± 1.49 ms/yr and 12.39 ± 2.74 ms/yr for TrES-3b and Qatar-1b, respectively. It is worth to mention here that we have observed increasing period for both hot-Jupiters in contrast to the previous results available in literature. Because of the statistically less significant estimate of period change of TrES-3b, we prefer a linear ephemeris model over the decay model. However, the linear model does not appear to represent the transit data of Qatar-1b considered here as the observed change in period is highly significant. This change may not be attributed to orbital decay and there may be some other plausible reasons such as presence of a third body in wider orbit and the apsidal precession.

description: We study tunneling of weakly-interacting spinless electrons at zero temperature through a single delta-barrier in one-dimensional wires and rings of finite lengths. Our numerical calculations are based on the self-consistent Hartree-Fock approximation, nevertheless, our results exhibit features known from correlated many-body models. In particular, the transmission in a wire of length L at the Fermi level is proportional to $L^{-2α}$ with the universal power $α$ (depending on the electron-electron interaction only, not on the strength of the delta-barrier). Similarly, the persistent current in a ring of the circumference $L$ obeys the rule $I\propto L^{-1-α}$ known from the Luttinger liquid and Hubbard models. We show that the transmission at the Fermi level in the wire is related to the persistent current in the ring at the magnetic flux h/4e.
