description: Abstract–We consider a heterogeneous social interaction model where agents interact with peers within their own network but also interact with agents across other (non-peer) networks. To address potential endogeneity in the networks, we assume that each network has a central planner who makes strategic network decisions based on observable and unobservable characteristics of the peers in her charge. The model forms a simultaneous equation system that can be estimated by quasi-maximum likelihood. We apply a restricted version of our model to data on National Basketball Association games, where agents are players, networks are individual teams organized by coaches, and competition is head-to-head. That is, at any time a player only interacts with two networks: their team and the opposing team. We find significant positive within-team peer-effects and both negative and positive opposing-team competitor-effects in NBA games. The former are interpretable as “team chemistries” which enhance the individual performances of players on the same team. The latter are interpretable as “team rivalries,” which can either enhance or diminish the individual performance of opposing players.

Variations of the TeV energy spectrum at different flux levels of Mkn 421 observed with the HEGRA system of Cherenkov telescopes

description: The nearby BL Lacertae (BL Lac) object Markarian~421 (Mkn~421) at a red shift z=0.031 was observed to undergo strong TeV Gamma-ray outbursts in the observational periods from December 1999 until May 2001. The time averaged energy spectrum is well described by a power law with an exponential cut-off energy at 3.6(+0.4-0.3)_{stat}(+0.9-0.8)_{sys} TeV. The energy spectra derived for different average flux levels ranging from 0.5 to 10 * 10^{-11}ph/cm**2/s follow a clear correlation of photon index and flux level. Generally, the energy spectra are harder for high flux levels. From January to April 2001 Mkn~421 showed rapid variability (doubling time as short as 20 minutes), accompanied with a spectral hardening with increasing flux level within individual nights. For two successive nights (MJD 51989-51991, March 21-23,2001), this correlation of spectral hardness and change in flux has been observed within a few hours. The cut-off energy for the Mkn~421 TeV spectrum remains within the errors constant for the different flux levels and differs by 2.6+/-0.6_stat+/-0.6_sys TeV from the value determined for Mkn~501. This indicates that the observed exponential cut-off in the energy spectrum of Mkn~421 is not solely caused by absorption of multi-TeV photons by pair-production processes with photons of the extragalactic near/mid infrared background radiation.

description: Materials discovery is crucial for making scientific advances in many domains. Collections of data from experiments and first-principle computations have spurred interest in applying machine learning methods to create predictive models capable of mapping from composition and crystal structures to materials properties. Generally, these are regression problems with the input being a 1D vector composed of numerical attributes representing the material composition and/or crystal structure. While neural networks consisting of fully connected layers have been applied to such problems, their performance often suffers from the vanishing gradient problem when network depth is increased. In this paper, we study and propose design principles for building deep regression networks composed of fully connected layers with numerical vectors as input. We introduce a novel deep regression network with individual residual learning, IRNet, that places shortcut connections after each layer so that each layer learns the residual mapping between its output and input. We use the problem of learning properties of inorganic materials from numerical attributes derived from material composition and/or crystal structure to compare IRNet's performance against that of other machine learning techniques. Using multiple datasets from the Open Quantum Materials Database (OQMD) and Materials Project for training and evaluation, we show that IRNet provides significantly better prediction performance than the state-of-the-art machine learning approaches currently used by domain scientists. We also show that IRNet's use of individual residual learning leads to better convergence during the training phase than when shortcut connections are between multi-layer stacks while maintaining the same number of parameters.

Synchrotron and Synchrotron Self-Compton Spectral Signatures and Blazar Emission Models
Creators: name: Chiang, James
name: Boettcher, Markus
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We find that energy losses due to synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) emission in blazar jets can produce distinctive signatures in the time-averaged synchrotron and SSC spectra of these objects. For a fairly broad range of particle injection distributions, SSC-loss dominated synchrotron emission exhibits a spectral dependence $F_ν\sim ν^{-3/2}$. The presence or absence of this dependence in the optical and ultraviolet spectra of flat spectrum radio quasars such as 3C~279 and in the soft X-ray spectra of high frequency BL Lac objects such as Mrk 501 gives a robust measure of the importance of SSC losses. Furthermore, for partially cooled particle distributions, spectral breaks of varying sizes can appear in the synchrotron and SSC spectra and will be related to the spectral indices of the emission below the break. These spectral signatures place constraints on the size scale and the non-thermal particle content of the emitting plasma as well as the observer orientation relative to the jet axis.

description: Optically thin cooling gas at most temperatures above 30K will make condensations by pressure pushing material into cool dense regions. This works without gravity. Cooling condensations will flatten and become planar/similarity solutions. Most star formation may start from cooling condensations - with gravity only important in the later stages. The idea that some of the dark matter could be pristine white dwarfs that condensed slowly on to planetary sized seeds without firing nuclear reactions is found lacking. However, recent observations indicate fifty times more halo white dwarfs than have been previously acknowledged; enough to make the halo fraction observed as MACHOS. A cosmological census shows that only 1% of the mass of the Universe is of known constitution.

description: It is believed, that a disordered one-dimensional (1D) wire with coherent electronic conduction is an insulator with the mean resistance \simeq e^{2L/ξ} and resistance dispersion Δ_ρ \simeq e^{L/ξ}, where L is the wire length and ξis the electron localisation length. Here we show that this 1D insulator undergoes at full coherence the crossover to a 1D "metal", caused by thermal smearing and resonant tunnelling. As a result, Δ_ρ is smaller than unity and tends to be L/ξ- independent, while grows with L/ξfirst nearly linearly and then polynomially, manifesting the so-called medium localisation.

description: Consumer oriented marketing concept appeared to be effective in accordance to the shift from the traditional marketing approach to the modern marketing approach. This process brings about the concept of customer value in retail food sector as it is the case in other sectors. The rise in number and variety of shopping units that operate in the retail market drives firms into value based marketing concept. Due to the positive effect on the relationship between customer value and customer satisfaction, measuring customer satisfaction in order to increase customer value in sector has gained importance. This study is focuses on determination of satisfaction level of customers who make shopping in local and national supermarket chains operating in retail food sector. In order to achieve this, firstly the qualifications that constitute customer satisfaction conditions in supermarket chains and satisfaction level of customers regarding those qualifications are determined. The study was conducted in Antalya province of Turkey. The sample size was determined as 400 with 95 % confidence interval and 5 % margin of error. The data were collected from consumers via face to face survey. In the study 30 basic qualifications affecting performance of supermarket chains on customer satisfaction were enlisted under five main factors. Customer satisfaction index of supermarket chains was found out to be 74, 9 %, which is 72, 8 % in local chains and higher with 77, 8 % in national chains. Findings reveal that local supermarket chains focus on positioning strategy while national supermarket chains focus on good/service strategies. However, the lowest satisfaction level criterion of customers in food purchases in retail chains was found out to be related with after sales service process.

description: We study rotor walk, a deterministic counterpart of the simple random walk, on infinite transient graphs. We show that the final rotor configuration of the rotor walk follows the law of the wired uniform spanning forest oriented toward infinity (OWUSF) measure when the initial rotor configuration is sampled from OWUSF. This result holds for all graphs for which each tree in the wired spanning forest has one single end almost surely. This answers a question posed in a previous work of the author (Chan 2018).

description: Since the global economic crisis has spilled out into the real sector of Serbia, companies are facing a significant worsening of the financial situation and business efficiency, affecting the country’s overall economic activity. Agricultural activity, as the pillar of the successful development of the Vojvodina region, is also experiencing the negative effects of crises that have only deepened the already existing problems of bad privatization and its failure to restrict the level of companies’ total debt, especially short-term debt. The goal of this paper is to estimate, by using indicators of financial health, the corporate success of leading agricultural enterprises in Vojvodina in the period 2008-2010 and to determine the prospects for their business efficiency for the next two years. Based on financial statements, analysis and assessment of business performances shell be done using BEX index in the selected sample of agricultural enterprises, with the prognostic expectation for the further period.

Interpreting CMB Anisotropy Observations: Trying to Tell the Truth with Statistics

description: A conflict has been reported between the baryon density inferred from deuterium observations and that found from recent CMB observations by BOOMERanG and MAXIMA. Despite the flurry of papers that attempt to resolve this conflict by adding new physics to the early universe, we will show that it can instead be resolved via a more careful usage of statistics. Indeed, the Bayesian analyses that produce this conflict are by their nature poorly suited for drawing this type of conclusion. A properly defined frequentist analysis can address this question directly and appears not to find a conflict. Finally, a conservative accounting of systematic uncertainties in measuring the deuterium abundance could reduce what is nominally a 3 sigma conflict to 1 sigma.

description: The instrumental variable (IV) methods are attractive since they can lead to a consistent answer to the main question in causal modeling, that is, the estimation of average causal effect of an exposure on the outcome in the presence of unmeasured confounding. However, it is now acknowledged in the literature that using weak IVs might not suit the inference goal satisfactorily. We consider the problem of estimating causal effects in an observational study in this article, allowing some IVs to be weak. In many modern learning jobs, we may face a large number of instruments and their quality could range from poor to strong. To incorporate them in a 2-stage least squares estimation procedure, we consider a model averaging technique. The proposed methods only involve a few layers of least squares estimation with closed-form solutions and thus is easy to implement in practice. Theoretical properties are carefully established, including the consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimated causal parameter. Numerical studies are carried out to assess the performance in low- and high-dimensional settings and comparisons are made between our proposed method and a wide range of existing alternative methods. A real data example on home price is analyzed to illustrate our methodology.

description: (abridged) Stellar catalogues in five passbands (UBVRI) over an area of approximately 0.3 deg^2, comprising about 1200 objects, and in seven passbands (UBVRIJK) over approximately 0.1 deg^2, comprising about 400 objects, in the direction of the Chandra Deep Field South are presented. The 90% completeness level of the number counts is reached at approximately U = 23.8, B = 24.0, V = 23.5, R = 23.0, I = 21.0, J = 20.5, K = 19.0. A scheme is presented to select point sources from these catalogues, by combining the SExtractor parameter CLASS_STAR from all available passbands. Probable QSOs and unresolved galaxies are identified by using the previously developed χ^2-technique (Hatziminaoglou et al 2002), that fits the overall spectral energy distributions to template spectra and determines the best fitting template. The observed number counts, colour-magnitude diagrams, colour-colour diagrams and colour distributions are presented and, to judge the quality of the data, compared to simulations based on the predictions of a Galactic Model convolved with the estimated completeness functions and the error model used to describe the photometric errors of the data. The resulting stellar catalogues and the objects identified as likely QSOs and unresolved galaxies with coordinates, observed magnitudes with errors and assigned spectral types by the $χ^2$-technique are presented and are publicly available.

description: Immune check-point inhibitors (ICIs) have changed our view on how to treat cancer. Despite their approval in treatment of many different cancers, efficacy of immune check-point inhibitors (ICI) in neuroendocrine neoplasia is limited and poorly understood. Established treatment options of neuroendocrine tumors (NET) and neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) are based on surgery, tumor-targeted medical treatments, Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT), and locoregional therapies. However, in many patients these treatments lose efficacy over time, and novel therapies are urgently needed. We report on 8 patients diagnosed with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) that were treated with ICI (pembrolizumab, avelumab, nivolumab plus ipilimumab) as salvage therapy. In this cohort, we observed tumor response with partial remission in 3 patients and stable disease in 1 patient. Four patients showed progressive disease. Of note, responses were observed both in PD-L1 positive and PD-L1 negative patients. Here, we discuss clinical courses of these patients in the context of available literature to highlight limitations and drawbacks currently preventing the use of ICI in routine management of patients with NEN.

description: The distance distribution between complementary base pairs of the two strands of a DNA molecule is studied near the melting transition. Scaling arguments are presented for a generalized Poland-Scheraga type model which includes self-avoiding interactions. At the transition temperature and for a large distance r the distribution decays as 1/r^κwith κ=1+(c-2)/ ν. Here νis the self-avoiding walk correlation length exponent and c is the exponent associated with the entropy of an open loop in the chain. Results for the distribution function just below the melting point are also presented. Numerical simulations which fully take into account the self-avoiding interactions are in good agreement with the scaling approach.

description: Immunotherapy has recently shown important clinical successes in a substantial number of oncology indications. Additionally, the tumor somatic mutation load has been shown to associate with response to these therapeutic agents, and specific mutational signatures are hypothesized to improve this association, including signatures related to pathogen insults. We sought to study in silico the validity of these observations and how they relate to each other. We first addressed whether somatic mutations typically involved in cancer may increase, in a statistically meaningful manner, the similarity between common pathogens and the human exome. Our study shows that common mutagenic processes increase, in the upper range of biologically plausible frequencies, the similarity between cancer exomes and pathogen DNA at a scale of 12-16 nucleotide sequences and established that this increased similarity is due to the specific mutation distribution of the considered mutagenic processes. Next, we studied the impact of mutation rate and showed that increasing mutation rate generally results in an increased similarity between the cancer exome and pathogen DNA, at a scale of 4-5 amino acids. Finally, we investigated whether the considered mutational processes result in amino-acid changes with functional relevance that are more likely to be immunogenic. We showed that functional tolerance to mutagenic processes across species generally suggests more resilience to mutagenic processes that are due to exposure to elements of nature than to mutagenic processes that are due to exposure to cancer-causing artificial substances. These results support the idea that recognition of pathogen sequences as well as differential functional tolerance to mutagenic processes may play an important role in the immune recognition process involved in tumor infiltration by lymphocytes.

description: In missing data problems, missing not at random is difficult to handle since the response probability or propensity score is confounded with the outcome data model in the likelihood. Existing works often assume the propensity score is known up to a finite dimensional parameter. We relax this assumption and consider an unspecified single index model for the propensity score. A pseudo-likelihood based on the complete data is constructed by profiling out a synthetic distribution function that involves the unknown propensity score. The pseudo-likelihood gives asymptotically normal estimates. Simulations show the method compares favorably with existing methods.
On Filamentations and Virtual Knots

description: In this paper, we discuss filamentations on oriented chord diagrams. When a filamentation cannot be realized on an oriented chord diagram, then the corresponding flat virtual knot is non-trivial. If a flat knot diagram is non-trivial, then any virtual diagram whose shadow is the flat diagram must also be non-trivial. We introduce a class of flat diagrams for which no filamentations exist. This class gives the first example of an infinite set of virtual knots for which the Jones polynomial and the fundamental group both evaluate trivially. The related generalized Alexander polynomials for the virtual knots in this class turn out to be distinct, proving that the class is indeed infinite.
