description: Yield stress fluids (YSFs) display a dual nature highlighted by the existence of a yield stress such that YSFs are solid below the yield stress, whereas they flow like liquids above it. Under an applied shear rate $\dotγ$, the solid-to-liquid transition is associated with a complex spatiotemporal scenario. Still, the general phenomenology reported in the literature boils down to a simple sequence that can be divided into a short-time response characterized by the so-called "stress overshoot", followed by stress relaxation towards a steady state. Such relaxation can be either long-lasting, which usually involves the growth of a shear band that can be only transient or that may persist at steady-state, or abrupt, in which case the solid-to-liquid transition resembles the failure of a brittle material, involving avalanches. Here we use a continuum model based on a spatially-resolved fluidity approach to rationalize the complete scenario associated with the shear-induced yielding of YSFs. Our model provides a scaling for the coordinates of the stress maximum as a function of $\dotγ$, which shows excellent agreement with experimental and numerical data extracted from the literature. Moreover, our approach shows that such a scaling is intimately linked to the growth dynamics of a fluidized boundary layer in the vicinity of the moving boundary. Yet, such scaling is independent of the fate of that layer, and of the long-term behavior of the YSF. Finally, when including the presence of "long-range" correlations, we show that our model displays a ductile to brittle transition, i.e., the stress overshoot reduces into a sharp stress drop associated with avalanches, which impacts the scaling of the stress maximum with $\dotγ$. Our work offers a unified picture of shear-induced yielding in YSFs, whose complex spatiotemporal dynamics are deeply connected to non-local effects.

60 Jahre Unabhängigkeit - 60 Jahre Salman Rushdie

description: Als im August 1947 die britische Flagge in Südasien endgültig eingeholt und statt dessen die Fahnen der neuen unabhängigen Staaten Indien und Pakistan gehisst wurden, war der am 19. Juni desselben Jahres in Bombay geborene spätere Schriftsteller Salman Rushdie nur wenig älter als die beiden frisch gebackenen Länder, die Dreh- und Angelpunkt vieler seiner Romane werden sollten. Es mag auf den ersten Blick ungewöhnlich erscheinen, in einem einzigen Beitrag auf die Jubiläen zweier Staaten und eines Individuums einzugehen, aber Rushdie war und ist gewissermaßen so etwas wie der Chronist der Geschicke der Länder des indischen Subkontinents und ihrer Menschen, wenn auch nicht im Sinne eines Historikers, sondern vielmehr als Romancier, der durch seinen Surrealismus die Zeitgeschichte oft pointierter zu charakterisieren weiß, als so manche nüchterne politische Analyse.

description: Stakeholders are important for software projects as they help to define the requirements. However, in case of multiple stakeholders with different viewpoints, it is often difficult to find a suitable solution for almost everybody. We faced this situation in a large interdisciplinary research project with contributors from different natural sciences. The contributors have to collaborate with each other, i.e., they need to share and exchange knowledge, data, and research strategies from their disciplines. In order to support them, we develop an approach that facilitates the collaboration by enabling data exchange between research groups. However, the contributors – i.e., stakeholders – do not know with whom and how to collaborate. Therefore, it is difficult to identify stakeholders who can contribute to the requirements elicitation at the moment. In this paper, we present the first idea of our approach, as well as faced and expected challenges and open questions.

description: The Handle Software manages references to resources of information. However, it does not support a search functionality. A prior implementation with Elasticsearch could not efficiently capture the complex structure of our dataset, especially the relationships between handles. In this paper, we apply a graph database together with Elasticsearch to provide more search capabilities to users. In addition, the graph can efficiently store meta-data provided during handle creation. Further use cases for this graph include redundancy detection (two or more handles pointing to the same URL), or bibliographic network analysis.

description: In this paper, we develop a mixture of autoregressive (MoAR) process model with time varying and freely indexed covariates under the flexible class of two–piece distributions using the scale mixtures of normal (TP-SMN) family. This novel family of time series (TP-SMN-MoAR) models was used to examine flexible and robust clustering of reported cases of Covid-19 across 313 counties in the U.S. The TP-SMN distributions allow for symmetrical/ asymmetrical distributions as well as heavy-tailed distributions providing for flexibility to handle outliers and complex data. Developing a suitable hierarchical representation of the TP-SMN family enabled the construction of a pseudo-likelihood function to derive the maximum pseudo-likelihood estimates via an EM-type algorithm.

description: Среди «неканонических», «невысоких» литературных жанров особое место занимает детектив, которому зачастую отводится маргинальная роль. Тем не менее в последние десятилетия этот жанр пользуется огромной популярностью у все большего круга читателей, в связи с чем в 2020 году была учреждена литературная премия «Русский детектив», насчитывающая целых десять номинаций. В стремлении вывести жанр детектива из литературного «гетто» в последние годы авторы пытаются усовершенствовать и обновить как структурные характеристики жанра, так и сам язык, уделяя особое внимание именно лингвистическим аспектам художественного слова. В данной статье на примере филологических детективов Татьяны Шахматовой представлена попытка показать, как определенный культурный багаж автора позволяет ей с легкостью профессионала, владеющего самыми различными приемами, оперировать внутри самого широкого литературного контекста и создавать увлекательные «насыщенные» тексты, обогащающие беллетристику и раскрывающие ее потенциал за счет языковой игры и скрупулезной работы над самим словом. Такая концентрированность на слове и на тексте, в сочетании с непременными интертекстуальными элементами, отсылающими как к классикам, так и к новым медиа и молодежному сленгу, позволяет поставить вопрос, являющийся целью настоящей статьи, а именно поразмышлять об эволюции литературоцентризма в русской культуре и о его гипотетическом конце.

description: A central goal in designing clinical trials is to find the test that maximizes power (or equivalently minimizes required sample size) for finding a false null hypothesis subject to the constraint of type I error. When there is more than one test, such as in clinical trials with multiple endpoints, the issues of optimal design and optimal procedures become more complex. In this paper we address the question of how such optimal tests should be defined and how they can be found. We review different notions of power and how they relate to study goals, and also consider the requirements of type I error control and the nature of the procedures. This leads us to an explicit optimization problem with objective and constraints which describe its specific desiderata. We present a complete solution for deriving optimal procedures for two hypotheses, which have desired monotonicity properties, and are computationally simple. For some of the optimization formulations this yields optimal procedures that are identical to existing procedures, such as Hommel's procedure or the procedure of Bittman et al. (2009), while for others it yields completely novel and more powerful policies than existing ones. We demonstrate the nature of our novel policies and their improved power extensively in simulation and on the APEX study (Cohen et al., 2016).

description: Early detection and effective treatment of severe COVID-19 patients remain two major challenges during the current pandemic. Analysis of molecular changes in blood samples of severe patients is one of the promising approaches to this problem. From thousands of proteomic, metabolomic, lipidomic, and transcriptomic biomarkers selected in other research, we identify several pairs of biomarkers that after additional nonlinear spline transformation are highly effective in classifying and predicting severe COVID-19 cases. The performance of these pairs is evaluated in-sample, in a cross-validation exercise, and in an out-of-sample analysis on two independent datasets. We further improve our classifier by identifying complementary pairs using hierarchical clustering. In a result, we achieve 96–98% AUC on the validation data. Our findings can help medical experts to identify small groups of biomarkers that after nonlinear transformation can be used to construct a cost-effective test for patient screening and prediction of severity progression.
Gene response elements, genetic polymorphisms and epigenetics influence the human dietary requirement for choline
Creators: name: Zeisel, Steven H.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Recent progress in the understanding of the human dietary requirement for choline highlights the importance of genetic variation and epigenetics in human nutrient requirements. Choline is a major dietary source of methyl-groups (one of choline's metabolites, betaine, participates in the methylation of homocysteine to form methionine); also choline is needed for the biosynthesis of cell membranes, bioactive phospholipids and the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. A recommended dietary intake for choline in humans was set in 1998, and a portion of the choline requirement can be met via endogenous de novo synthesis of phosphatidylcholine catalyzed by phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) in the liver. Though many foods contain choline, many humans do not get enough in their diets. When deprived of dietary choline, most adult men and postmenopausal women developed signs of organ dysfunction (fatty liver, liver or muscle cell damage, and reduces the capacity to handle a methionine load, resulting in elevated homocysteine). However, only a portion of premenopausal women developed such problems. The difference in requirement occurs because estrogen induces expression of the PEMT gene and allows premenopausal women to make more of their needed choline endogenously. In addition, there is significant variation in the dietary requirement for choline that can be explained by common polymorphisms in genes of choline and folate metabolism. Choline is critical during fetal development, when it alters DNA methylation and thereby influences neural precursor cell proliferation and apoptosis. This results in long term alterations in brain structure and function, specifically memory function.

Real-time spin-charge separation in one-dimensional Fermi gases from generalized hydrodynamics

description: We revisit early suggestions to observe spin-charge separation (SCS) in cold-atom settings {in the time domain} by studying one-dimensional repulsive Fermi gases in a harmonic potential, where pulse perturbations are initially created at the center of the trap. We analyze the subsequent evolution using generalized hydrodynamics (GHD), which provides an exact description, at large space-time scales, for arbitrary temperature $T$, particle density, and interactions. At $T=0$ and vanishing magnetic field, we find that, after a nontrivial transient regime, spin and charge dynamically decouple up to perturbatively small corrections which we quantify. In this limit, our results can be understood based on a simple phase-space hydrodynamic picture. At finite temperature, we solve numerically the GHD equations, showing that for low $T>0$ effects of SCS survive and {characterize} explicitly the value of $T$ for which the two distinguishable excitations melt.

Sie behandeln vor allem die Situation unmittelbar vor der Teilung Indiens und die ersten Jahre nach der Ankunft der Autorin in Pakistan. Im Unterschied zu den Geschichten der Teilung, in denen diese vor allem als menschliche, politische und kulturelle Tragödie begriffen wird, lernen wir hier die Perspektive derjenigen kennen, die die Teilung begrüßten und in der Gründung Pakistans einen Aufbruch in eine neue, bessere Zeit sahen. Geschildert werden zudem keine dramatischen Ereignisse, sondern kleine Alltagsbegebenheiten. Diese kurzen Auszüge können keinen Eindruck von der komplizierten Struktur des Textes vermitteln. Kishwar Naheed verknüpft ihre Erinnerungen häufig mit kritischen Anmerkungen zur späteren Geschichte Pakistans oder Reflexionen über die Weltpolitik, Weltliteratur u.a. Da diese Teile des Buches zahlreiche Namen und Anspielungen enthalten, die nur für mit den pakistanischen Verhältnissen vertraute Leser verständlich sind, habe ich die entsprechenden Passagen ausgelassen und dies jeweils markiert.

Protease-activated receptors and myocardial infarction

name: Mackman, Nigel

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Protease activated receptors (PARs) are widely expressed within the heart. They are activated by a myriad of proteases, including coagulation proteases. In vitro studies showed that activation of PAR-1 and PAR-2 on cardiomyocytes induced hypertrophy. In addition, PAR-1 stimulation on cardiac fibroblasts induced proliferation. Genetic and pharmacologic approaches have been used to investigate the role of the different PARs in cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. In mice and rats PAR-1 is reported to play a role in inflammation, infarct size and remodeling after cardiac I/R injury. However, there are notable differences between the effect of a deficiency in PAR-1 and inhibition of PAR-1. For instance, inhibition of PAR-1 reduced infarct size whereas there was no effect of a deficiency of PAR-1. These differences maybe due to off-target effects of the inhibitor or PAR-4 compensation of PAR-1 deficiency. Similarly, a deficiency of PAR-2 was associated with reduced cardiac inflammation and improved heart function after I/R injury, whereas pharmacologic activation of PAR-2 was found to be protective due to increased vasodilatation. These differences maybe due to different signaling responses induced by an endogenous proteases versus an exogenous agonist peptide. Surprisingly, PAR-4 deficiency resulted in increased cardiac injury and increased mortality after I/R injury. In contrast, a pharmacological study indicated that inhibition of PAR-4 was cardioprotective. It is possible that the major cellular target of the PAR-4 inhibitor is platelets, which have been shown to contribute to inflammation in the injured heart, whereas PAR-4 signaling in cardiomyocytes may be protective. These discrepant results between genetic and pharmacological approaches indicate that further studies are needed to determine the role of different PARs in the injured heart.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a very serious impact on societies and caused large-scale economic changes and death toll worldwide. The first cases were detected in China, but soon the virus spread quickly worldwide and the intensity of newly reported infections grew high during this initial period almost everywhere. Later, despite all imposed measures, the intensity shifted abruptly multiple times during the two-year period between 2020 and 2022 causing waves of too high infection rates in almost every part of the world. To target this problem, we assume the data heterogeneity as multiple consecutive regime changes. The research study includes the development of a model based on automatic regime change detection and their combination with the linear birth-death process for long-run data fits. The results are empirically verified on data for 38 countries and US states for the period from February 2020 to April 2022. Finally, the initial phase (conditions) properties of infection development are studied.

Ein quantitatives Tonmodell für Ibibio
Creators: name: Bachmann, Arne
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2007

description: In this Master's Thesis, a simple generic model for tone language synthesis is proposed and applied to an Ibibio corpus. While most parametric models (like Tilt and PaIntE) were designed for accent languages, or allowed for multiple solutions of their parameters (Fujisaki), the model proposed here consumes arbitrary tonal shapes while considering the tonological rules of the language. Additionally a software intonation module was developed to apply this model to the Bonn Open Synthesis System BOSS. Starting from theoretical considerations, tone contours are stylized syllable by syllable through polynomials. The whole corpus of those polynomial shapes is reduced by a simple vector quantization algorithm to a codebook of e.g. 64 codevectors called tone templates. By using about 20 common and easily extractable parameters from the foregoing modules, a classification tree predicts the likeliest tone template for each syllable. A standard unit selection algorithm selects segmental units with the best fitting contour shapes from the corpus. Thus the synthesis system aims to produce lexically and grammatically correct speech intonation. In this work, the problems and details leading to design decisions are discussed, the accuracy of the stylization, vector quantization and prediction are presented. Some proposals are made for further development of the model and software. The accompanying programming lead to the BOSS-IBB extension version 0.1 currently being integrated as module package version 0.2 into BOSS version 3.1.

description: We investigate ruled surfaces in 3d Riemannian manifolds, i.e., surfaces foliated by geodesics. In 3d space forms, we find the striction curve, distribution parameter, and the first and second fundamental forms, from which we obtain the Gaussian and mean curvatures. We also provide model-independent proof for the known fact that extrinsically flat surfaces in space forms are ruled. This proof allows us to identify the necessary and sufficient condition the curvature tensor must satisfy for an extrinsically flat surface in a generic 3d manifold to be ruled. Further, we show that if a 3d manifold has an extrinsically flat surface tangent to any 2d plane and if they are all ruled surfaces, then the manifold is a space form. As an application, we prove that there must exist extrinsically flat surfaces in the Riemannian product of the hyperbolic plane, or sphere, with the reals, and that do not make a constant angle with the real direction.

description: In this paper, we propose a Susceptible–Infected–Removal (SIR) model with time fused coefficients. In particular, our proposed model discovers the underlying time homogeneity pattern for the SIR model's transmission rate and removal rate via Bayesian shrinkage priors. MCMC sampling for the proposed method is facilitated by the nimble package in R. Extensive simulation studies are carried out to examine the empirical performance of the proposed methods. We further apply the proposed methodology to analyze different levels of COVID-19 data in the United States.

description: Heart failure is a syndrome with a pathophysiological basis that can be traced to dysfunction in several interconnected molecular pathways. Identification of biomarkers of heart failure that allow measurement of the disease on a molecular level has resulted in enthusiasm for their use in prognostication and selection of appropriate therapies. However, despite considerable amounts of information available on numerous biomarkers, inconsistent research methodologies and lack of clinical correlations have made bench-to-bedside translations rare and left the literature with countless publications of varied quality. There is a need for a systematic and collaborative approach aimed at definitively studying the clinical benefits of novel biomarkers. In this review, on the basis of input from academia, industry, and governmental agencies, we propose a systematized approach based on adherence to specific quality measures for studies looking to augment current prediction model or use biomarkers to tailor therapeutics. We suggest that study quality, rather than results, should determine publication and propose a system for grading biomarker studies. We outline the need for collaboration between clinical investigators and statisticians to introduce more advanced statistical methodologies into the field of biomarkers that would allow for data from a large number of variables to be distilled into clinically actionable information. Lastly, we propose the creation of a heart failure biomarker consortium that would allow for a comprehensive list of biomarkers to be concomitantly analyzed in a pooled sample of randomized clinical trials and hypotheses to be generated for testing in biomarker-guided trials. Such a consortium could collaborate in sharing samples to identify biomarkers, undertake meta- analyses on completed trials, and spearhead clinical trials to test the clinical utility of new biomarkers.

description: In this paper we explore the challenges of automating experiments in data science. We propose an extensible experiment model as a foundation for integration of different open source tools for running research experiments. We implement our approach in a prototype open source MLDev software package and evaluate it in a series of experiments yielding promising results. Comparison with other state-of-the-art tools signifies novelty of our approach.

description: We revisit the Thompson sampling algorithm to control an unknown linear quadratic (LQ) system recently proposed by Ouyang et al (arXiv:1709.04047). The regret bound of the algorithm was derived under a technical assumption on the induced norm of the closed loop system. In this technical note, we show that by making a minor modification in the algorithm (in particular, ensuring that an episode does not end too soon), this technical assumption on the induced norm can be replaced by a milder assumption in terms of the spectral radius of the closed loop system. The modified algorithm has the same Bayesian regret of $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}(\sqrt{T})$, where $T$ is the time-horizon and the $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}(\cdot)$ notation hides logarithmic terms in~$T$.

description: This paper proposes a cyber-physical cooperative mitigation framework to enhance power systems resilience under extreme events, e.g., earthquakes and hurricanes. Extreme events can simultaneously damage the physical-layer electric power infrastructure and the cyber-layer communication facilities. Microgrid (MG) has been widely recognised as an effective physical-layer response to such events, however, the mitigation strategy in the cyber lay is yet to be fully investigated. Therefore, this paper proposes a resilience-oriented centralised-to-decentralised framework to maintain the power supply of critical loads such as hospitals, data centers, etc., under extreme events. For the resilient control, controller-to-controller (C2C) wireless network is utilised to form the emergency regional communication when centralised base station being compromised. Owing to the limited reliable bandwidth that reserved as a backup, the inevitable delays are dynamically minimised and used to guide the design of a discrete-time distributed control algorithm to maintain post-event power supply. The effectiveness of the cooperative cyber-physical mitigation framework is demonstrated through extensive simulations in MATLAB/Simulink.
Is cell segregation like oil and water: asymptotic versus transitory regime

description: Segregation of different cell types is a crucial process for the pattern formation in tissues, in particular during embryogenesis. Since the involved cell interactions are complex and difficult to measure individually in experiments, mathematical modelling plays an increasingly important role to unravel the mechanisms governing segregation. The analysis of these theoretical models focuses mainly on the asymptotic behavior at large times, in a steady regime and for large numbers of cells. Most famously, cell-segregation models based on the minimization of the total surface energy, a mechanism also driving the demixing of immiscible fluids, are known to exhibit asymptotically a particular algebraic scaling behavior. However, it is not clear, whether the asymptotic regime of the numerical models is relevant at the spatio-temporal scales of actual biological processes and in-vitro experiments. By developing a mapping between cell-based models and experimental settings, we are able to directly compare previous experimental data to numerical simulations of cell segregation quantitatively. We demonstrate that the experiments are reproduced by the transitory regime of the models rather than the asymptotic one. Our work puts a new perspective on previous model-driven conclusions on cell segregation mechanisms.

description: Motivated by the recently introduced topological index, the Somber index, we define a new topological index of a graph in this paper, we call it Sombor coindex. The Sombor coindex is defined by considering analogous contributions from the pairs of non-adjacent vertices, capturing, thus, and quantifying a possible influence of remote pairs of vertices. We give several properties of the Somber coindex and its relations to the Sombor index, the Zagreb (co)indices, forgotten coindex and other important graph parameters. We also compute the bounds of the Somber coindex of some graph operations and compute the Sombor coindex for some chemical graphs as an application.
