description: Probabilistic planning captures the uncertainty of plan execution by probabilistically modeling the effects of actions in the environment, and therefore the probability of reaching different states from a given state and action. In order to compute a solution for a probabilistic planning problem, planners need to manage the uncertainty associated with the different paths from the initial state to a goal state. Several approaches to manage uncertainty were proposed, e.g., consider all paths at once, perform determinization of actions, and sampling. In this paper, we introduce trajectory-based short-sighted Stochastic Shortest Path Problems (SSPs), a novel approach to manage uncertainty for probabilistic planning problems in which states reachable with low probability are substituted by artificial goals that heuristically estimate their cost to reach a goal state. We also extend the theoretical results of Short-Sighted Probabilistic Planner (SSiPP) [ref] by proving that SSiPP always finishes and is asymptotically optimal under sufficient conditions on the structure of short-sighted SSPs. We empirically compare SSiPP using trajectory-based short-sighted SSPs with the winners of the previous probabilistic planning competitions and other state-of-the-art planners in the triangle tireworld problems. Trajectory-based SSiPP outperforms all the competitors and is the only planner able to scale up to problem number 60, a problem in which the optimal solution contains approximately 1070 states.
Investigating the phenotypical and functional features of circulatory neutrophils in Early Breast Cancer

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Neutrophils play a crucial role in fighting infections and facilitating wound healing. There is increasing evidence that neutrophils can influence breast cancer (BC) development, but it is unclear how early in the disease process this occurs and whether neutrophil involvement differs depending on the BC subtype. I first investigated the expression of the neutrophil surface marker CD62L (leukocyte adhesion molecule which is rapidly shed on neutrophil priming or activation) since an expansion of CD62L negative neutrophils was found to be characteristic of cancer in a tumour-bearing mouse model of Early Breast Cancer (EBC). Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor administration after chemotherapy led to a faster recovery of circulatory neutrophil counts and restoration of CD62Lnegative neutrophil levels to that typically seen in untreated tumour-bearing mice. I then conducted a pilot study of 44 treatment-naive patients with early breast cancer (EBC) and 44 paired healthy volunteers (HVs). Using flow cytometry of their blood samples, I showed that cancer patients had a higher proportion of circulatory neutrophils compared to HVs and there were changes in CD62L expression which varied depending on HR status of the patient’s BC. In order to determine the reason for this, I assessed neutrophil kinase activity (n = 340 kinases) using a Pamgene kinase assay. There were changes in neutrophil kinase expression which varied depending on the HR status and HER2 status. HR positive HER2 negative patients had a strong upregulation in overall kinase activity compared to HVs. Regardless of HR status, the presence of HER2 in the patient’s BC correlated with a reduced neutrophil tyrosine kinase activity. In vitro culture experiments showed that neutrophil lifespan in patients (regardless of BC subtype) is extended compared to HVs and this appears to be related to intrinsic neutrophil properties with a smaller synergistic effect from soluble factors within the plasma.

description: Electronic frustration and strong correlations may lead to large Seebeck coefficients. To understand this physics on general grounds, we compute the thermopower of the one-band Hubbard model on the 3-dimensional fcc lattice over the whole range of fillings for intermediate and large interaction strength. Dynamical mean-field theory shows that when the density approaches half-filling, the fcc lattice at strong coupling exhibits a large low temperature Seebeck coefficient $S$. The largest effect occurs as one approaches $n=1$ from dopings where electronic frustration is maximized. The high-frequency limit of the thermopower and the Kelvin limit are both used to provide physical insight as well as practical tools to estimate the thermopower. The high-frequency limit gives a reliable estimate of the DC limit at low temperature when the metal becomes coherent. By contrast, the Kelvin approach is useful in the strongly interacting case at high temperature when transport is incoherent. The latter result shows that in doped Mott insulators at high temperature and strong coupling the thermopower can be understood on entropic grounds.
description: 9 pages, 5 figures. A discussion about the density dependence of the thermopower in the incoherent regime has been added, starting near the end of p.5

description: We present the results of our spectroscopic monitoring campaign of $ζ$ Oph, carried out at the University observatory Jena with the spectrograph FLECHAS between July 2015 and September 2016. The main aim of the project is to determine the radial velocity of the star precisely, as a wide range of radial velocity measurements of $ζ$ Oph are given in the literature. Beside the proper motion and parallax, the radial velocity is an important input parameter for the calculation of the space motion of the star. $ζ$ Oph is considered to be a runaway star and potential former companion of the progenitor star of the pulsar PSRJ1932+1059, which both may have been located in a binary system and were then released during a supernova explosion about 1 Myr ago in the Upper Scorpius OB association. For the calculation that the pulsar and $ζ$ Oph could have been at the same place, a radial velocity of $-$9.0 km/s for $ζ$ Oph was used in the literature. By analysing the hydrogen and helium lines in 48 FLECHAS spectra, we determined the radial velocity of $ζ$ Oph to be 12.2$\pm$3.3 km/s and the projected rotational velocity to 432$\pm$16 km/s with no indication for variability.

description: Epigenetic alterations of genes involved in colorectal carcinogenesis are likely to be informative biomarkers for early detection. We assessed the methylation profile of a panel of seven colon cancer-related genes comparing normal colon, colorectal cancer (CRC) precursor lesions and cancer tissues from a Brazilian cohort. The cohort comprised 114 CRC patients, including 40 matched normal tissue, 47 patients with adenomas, 33 with serrated polyps and 8 with normal colonic biopsy. DNA methylation status of SEPT9, ALX4, NDRG4, BMP3, APC, p16 and MLH1 was determined by pyrosequencing and correlated with clinicopathological features. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated for all genes using cancer endpoint. The most frequently methylated genes in cancer and in precancer lesions were SEPT9, ALX4, NDRG4, and BMP3, ranging from 55.3 to 95% of the samples. Overall, the frequency of methylation of these four genes in normal colonic tissue was significantly lower as compared to cancer or precursor lesions both in adenoma–carcinoma (p p p p SEPT9, ALX4, NDRG4, and BMP3 genes. Moreover, the comethylation of ≥4 genes was higher in sessile-serrated lesion (87.5%) and conventional adenomas (78.7%) than in hyperplastic polyps (43.7%) (p = .025) and was significantly associated with proximal cancers (p = .042). Our study suggests the DNA methylation can constitute potential biomarkers in CRC screening of Brazilian population.

description: Modern treatment strategies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are postulated to change the natural disease course. Inception cohort studies are the gold standard for investigating such changes. We have initiated a new population-based inception cohort study; Inflammatory bowel disease in South Eastern Norway III (IBSEN III). In this article, we describe the study protocol and baseline characteristics of the cohort. IBSEN III is an ongoing, population-based observational inception cohort study with prospective follow-up. Adult and pediatric patients with suspected IBD in the South-Eastern Health Region of Norway (catchment area of 2.95 million inhabitants in 2017), during the 3-year period from 2017 to 2019, were eligible for inclusion. Comprehensive clinical, biochemical, endoscopic, demographic, and patient-reported data were collected at the time of diagnosis and throughout standardized follow-up. For a portion of the patients, extensive biological material was biobanked. The study included 2168 patients, of whom 1779 were diagnosed with IBD (Crohn’s disease: 626, ulcerative colitis: 1082, IBD unclassified: 71). In 124 patients, there were subtle findings indicative of, but not diagnostic for, IBD. The remaining 265 patients were classified as symptomatic non-IBD controls. We have included patients in a comprehensive population-based IBD cohort from a catchment population of 2.95 million, and a unique biobank with materials from newly diagnosed and treatment-naïve IBD patients and symptomatic non-IBD controls. We believe this cohort will add important knowledge about IBD in the years to come.

description: We consider random subgroups of Thompson's group $F$ with respect to two natural stratifications of the set of all $k$ generator subgroups. We find that the isomorphism classes of subgroups which occur with positive density are not the same for the two stratifications. We give the first known examples of {\em persistent} subgroups, whose isomorphism classes occur with positive density within the set of $k$-generator subgroups, for all sufficiently large $k$. Additionally, Thompson's group provides the first example of a group without a generic isomorphism class of subgroup. Elements of $F$ are represented uniquely by reduced pairs of finite rooted binary trees. We compute the asymptotic growth rate and a generating function for the number of reduced pairs of trees, which we show is D-finite and not algebraic. We then use the asymptotic growth to prove our density results.

description: In this work we study the dynamics of spinning binary black hole systems in the strong field regime. For this purpose we extract from numerical relativity simulations the binding energy, specific orbital angular momentum, and gauge-invariant orbital frequency. The goal of our work is threefold: First, we extract the individual spin contributions to the binding energy, in particular the spin-orbit, spin-spin, and cubic-in-spin terms. Second, we compare our results with predictions from waveform models and find that while post-Newtonian approximants are not capable of representing the dynamics during the last few orbits before merger, there is good agreement between our data and effective-one-body approximants as well as the numerical relativity surrogate models. Finally, we present phenomenological representations for the binding energy for non-spinning systems with mass ratios up to $q = 10$ and for the spin-orbit interaction for mass ratios up to $q = 8$ obtaining accuracies of $\lesssim 0.1\%$ and $\lesssim 6\%$, respectively.

description: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a fatalmalignant cancer with extremely poor prognosis and high mortality. Genome wide studies show that Slit/Robo signaling pathway takes a major effect in the oncogenesis and progression of pancreatic cancer. However, the function and mechanism of ROBO2 in the development of PDAC remains unclear. In present study, we use Western blot and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect the expression of ROBO2 in pancreatic cell lines. Cell proliferation,Transwellmigration and invasion were conducted inAsPC-1, MIA PaCa-2 and PANC-1cell lines. RNA sequencing, bioinformatics analysisand Western blot were used to explore its mechanism and potential target molecules. The expression of ROBO2 in 95 tumor tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. ROBO2 expression was downregulated in PDAC cell lines and tissue samples. A high expression of ROBO2 was associated with better prognosis. Upregulation of ROBO2 inhibited PDAC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. However, we found theoppositeresults in the ROBO2 downregulation group. In addition, the function of ROBO2 on cell proliferation was further affirmed by the animal model. Finally, the results of RNA sequencing indicated that ROBO2 partly promoted the antitumor activity by inhibiting ECM1 in PDAC. Our work suggests that ROBO2 inhibits tumor progression in PDAC and may serve as a predictive biomarker and therapeutic target in PDAC.

description: We discuss an online learning framework in which the agent is allowed to say I don't know'' as well as making incorrect predictions on given examples. We analyze the trade off between saying I don't know'' and making mistakes. If the number of don't know predictions is forced to be zero, the model reduces to the well-known mistake-bound model introduced by Littlestone [Lit88]. On the other hand, if no mistakes are allowed, the model reduces to KWIK framework introduced by Li et. al. [LLW08]. We propose a general, though inefficient, algorithm for general finite concept classes that minimizes the number of don't-know predictions if a certain number of mistakes are allowed. We then present specific polynomial-time algorithms for the concept classes of monotone disjunctions and linear separators

description: We investigate upper and lower bounds on the entropy of entanglement of a superposition of bipartite states as a function of the individual states in the superposition. In particular, we extend the results in [G. Gour, arxiv.org:0704.1521 (2007)] to superpositions of several states rather than just two. We then investigate the entanglement in a subspace as a function of its basis states: we find upper bounds for the largest entanglement in a subspace and demonstrate that no such lower bound for the smallest entanglement exists. Finally, we consider entanglement of superpositions using measures of entanglement other than the entropy of entanglement.

description: We formulate and address the problem of discovering dynamic malicious regions on the Internet. We model this problem as one of adaptively pruning a known decision tree, but with additional challenges: (1) severe space requirements, since the underlying decision tree has over 4 billion leaves, and (2) a changing target function, since malicious activity on the Internet is dynamic. We present a novel algorithm that addresses this problem, by putting together a number of different “experts” algorithms and online paging algorithms. We prove guarantees on our algorithm’s performance as a function of the best possible pruning of a similar size, and our experiments show that our algorithm achieves high accuracy on large real-world data sets, with significant improvements over existing approaches.

description: Prolongation of cecal intubation time (CIT) directly affects the comfort of the patient and the colonoscopist. In this study, the effectiveness of using an abdominal binder (AB) during colonoscopy on procedure time and colonoscopy outcomes was investigated. We conducted a parallel randomized double-blind sham-device-controlled study of patients who underwent elective outpatient colonoscopy between 1 May 2020, and 31 August 2020. Participants were randomly assigned to AB (n = 173) and sham binder (SB) (n = 173) groups. The primary outcome was CIT. Secondary outcomes were the need for auxiliary maneuvers, the cecum intubation length (CIL) of the colonoscope, visual analog scale (VAS) score, narcotic analgesic dose, and colonoscopy results. Moreover, subgroup analysis was performed in terms of age and obesity indices. A total of 346 patients were enrolled in the study. The mean CIT was similar between groups (AB group 240 secs, control group 250 secs, p > .05). Manual pressure requirement was less in the AB group (27 vs. 36%, p = .069). VAS score and the need for extra narcotic analgesic drugs were prominently lower in the AB group (p p = .016, respectively). In the subgroup analyses, in participants at the age of <60 and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) ≥0.5, manual pressure requirements were significantly shorter in the AB group (p = .017, p = .032, respectively). AB use in selected patients may be advantageous during colonoscopy because it reduces the need for analgesics and post-procedure pain, and reduces the need for auxiliary maneuvers in relatively young and obese patients.

description: We present non-conventional electron spin resonance (ESR) experiments using microfabricated superconducting waveguides. We show that a very broad frequency range, from 0.5 to 40 GHz, becomes accessible with a high frequency accuracy of less than 1 MHz at low temperatures down to 1.6 K and in fields up to 1.4 T. This allows an accurate inspection of the ESR absorption position in the frequency domain, in contrast to the more common observation in the field domain. We demonstrate the applicability of frequency-swept ESR on Cr3+ atoms in ruby as well as on organic radicals of the Nitronyl-nitroxide family (using the 2-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetra-methylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide, a.k.a. NitPhOMe). Measurements between 1.6 and 30 K reveal a small frequency shift of the ESR and a resonance broadening below the critical temperature, which we both attribute to a modification of the magnetic field configuration due to the appearance of shielding currents.

In Pakistan, recent evaluations of the government's flagship community health program have revealed the need for improvement in health workers' knowledge, and recommended frequent refresher training courses. However, these have not been possible to implement primarily for reasons of cost. It is our conjecture that telephone-based adaptive speech interfaces, tailored to the specific information needs of health workers, are a viable alternative to current information access mechanisms such as handbooks and manuals. We will be designing, developing and testing such an interface (“HealthLine”) in the coming year in Pakistan. Initial results from discussions with health workers (using video prototypes) indicate that speech interfaces may potentially be much more useful for health workers than traditional media.

description: The masses of the low lying charmonium states, namely, the $J/Ψ$, $Ψ(3686)$, and $Ψ(3770)$ are shifted downwards due to the second order Stark effect. In $\bar p + \text{Au}$ collisions at $6-10$ GeV we study their in\,-\,medium propagation. The time evolution of the spectral functions of these charmonium states is studied with a Boltzmann\,-\,Uehling\,-\,Uhlenbeck (BUU) type transport model. We show that their in\,-\,medium mass shift can be observed in the dilepton spectrum. Therefore, by observing the dileptonic decay channel of these low lying charmonium states, especially for $Ψ(3686)$, we can gain information about the magnitude of the gluon condensate in nuclear matter. This measurement could be performed at the upcoming PANDA experiment at FAIR.

description: We discover that the very young very low-mass star ISO143 (M5) is driving an outflow based on spectro-astrometry of forbidden [SII] emission lines at 6716A and 6731A observed in UVES/VLT spectra. This adds another object to the handful of brown dwarfs and very low-mass stars (M5-M8) for which an outflow has been confirmed and which show that the T Tauri phase continues at very low masses. We find the outflow of ISO143 to be intrinsically asymmetric and the accretion disk to not obscure the outflow, as only the red outflow component is visible in the [SII] lines. ISO143 is only the third T Tauri object showing a stronger red outflow component in spectro-astrometry, after RW Aur (G5) and ISO217 (M6.25). We show here that including ISO143 two out of seven outflows confirmed in the very low-mass regime (M5-M8) are intrinsically asymmetric. We measure a spatial extension of the outflow in [SII] of up to 200-300 mas (about 30-50 AU) and velocities of up to 50-70 km/s. We furthermore detect line emission of ISO143 in CaII (8498), OI (8446), HeI (7065), and weakly in [FeII] (7155). Based on a line profile analysis and decomposition we demonstrate that (i) the CaII emission can be attributed to chromospheric activity, a variable wind, and the magnetospheric infall zone, (ii) the OI emission mainly to accretion-related processes but also a wind, and (iii) the HeI emission to chromospheric or coronal activity. We estimate a mass outflow rate of ISO143 of ~10^{-10} Msol/yr and a mass accretion rate in the range of ~10^{-8} to ~10^{-9} Msol/yer. These values are consistent with those of other brown dwarfs and very low-mass stars. The derived Mout/Macc ratio of 1-20% is not supporting previous findings of this number to be very large (>40%) for very low-mass objects.

description: Currently, multiple mobile robots, called CoBots, are deployed in an office building performing tasks for users such as delivering items and escorting visitors. Tasks for these robots are scheduled in parallel, but aside from the scheduling, the robots act entirely independently. In this work we explore how the robots can communicate dynamic changes in the environment, such as blocked corridors, closed doors at delivery locations, and robot failures, to accomplish their tasks more effectively. We introduce the concept of a “rationale graph” which documents the relationships between dynamic conditions and scheduling decisions. We propose to use the rationale graph to decide which information to share with which robots, and to replan for tasks which have rationales that are violated.

description: Fiber-based bidirectional photon extraction from nanoscale emitters and photon antibunching behavior between two outputs of two single mode optical fibers are experimentally demonstrated. Flakes of the epitaxial layer containing the InAs quantum dots (QDs) are fixed mechanically by both side with the edge faces of the single-mode-fiber (SMF) patch cables. The emitting photons from the single quantum dot are directly taken out of both side through the SMFs. Single-photon emission between two SMF outputs is confirmed by detecting non-classical antibunching in second-order photon correlation measurements with two superconducting single-photon detectors (SSPDs) and a time-amplitude converter (TAC). This simple opto-mechanical alignment-free single-photon emitter has advantage of robust stability more than 10 days and low-cost fabrication.

description: Delay-and-Sum (DAS) beamformer is the most common beamforming algorithm in Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) due to its simple implementation and real time imaging. However, it provides poor resolution and high levels of sidelobe. A new algorithm named Delay-Multiply-and-Sum (DMAS) was introduced. Using DMAS leads to lower levels of sidelobe compared to DAS, but resolution is not satisfying yet. In this paper, a novel beamformer is introduced based on the combination of Minimum Variance (MV) adaptive beamforming and DMAS, so-called Minimum Variance-Based DMAS (MVB-DMAS). It is shown that expanding the DMAS equation leads to some terms which contain a DAS equation. It is proposed to use MV adaptive beamformer instead of existing DAS inside the DMAS algebra expansion. MVB-DMAS is evaluated numerically compared to DAS, DMAS and MV and Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) metric is presented. It is shown that MVB-DMAS leads to higher image quality and SNR for about 13 dB, 3 dB and 2 dB in comparison with DAS, DMAS and MV, respectively.

description: One-dimensional superlattices with periodic spatial modulations of onsite potentials or tunneling coefficients can exhibit a variety of properties associated with topology or symmetry. Recent developments of ring-shaped optical lattices allow a systematic study of those properties in superlattices with or without boundaries. While superlattices with additional modulating parameters are shown to have quantized topological invariants in the augmented parameter space, we also found localized or zero-energy states associated with symmetries of the Hamiltonians. Probing those states in ultracold-atoms is possible by utilizing recently proposed methods analyzing particle depletion or the local density of states. Moreover, we summarize feasible realizations of configurable optical superlattices using currently available techniques.

description: Abstract: "We present an analysis of an expert performing a highly interactive computer task. The analysis uses GOMS models, specifying the Goals, Operators, Methods, and Selection rules used by the expert; the GOMS models are implemented within an unified theory of cognition called Soar. Two models are presented, one with function-level operators which perform high- level functions in the domain, and one with keystroke-level operators which describe hand movements. For a segment of behavior in which the expert accomplished about 30 functions in about 30 seconds, the function-level model predicted the observed behavior well, while the keystroke-level model predicted only about half of the observed hand movements. These results, including the discrepancy between the models, are discussed."
INVESTIGATION OF THE STRESS STATE OF A COMPOSITE CONSISTING OF A LAYER AND A HALF-SPACE WITH A CYLINDRICAL PIPE WHEN STRESSES ARE SET ON THE BOUNDARY SURFACES

description: A solution to the spatial problem of the theory of elasticity is proposed for a composite consisting of a halfspace with a longitudinal thick-walled circular cylindrical tube and a layer rigidly attached to the surface of the half-space. Layer, half-space and pipe elastic homogeneous isotropic materials different from each other. The stresses are set on the free surface of the layer and the inner surface of the pipe. At the boundary of the layer and half-space, as well as at the boundary of half-space and the outer surface of the pipe, the matching conditions are coupling. It is necessary to evaluate the stress state of a given composite. The solution of the spatial problem of the theory of elasticity is obtained on the basis of the generalized Fourier method in cylindrical coordinates associated with the pipe and Cartesian coordinates associated with the layer and half-space. Satisfying the boundary and coupling conditions, we obtain infinite systems of linear algebraic equations that are solved by the reduction method. As a result, displacements and stresses were obtained at various points of the layer, half-space, and pipe.

description: We compute the three-point cross-correlation function of the primordial curvature perturbation generated during inflation with two powers of a vector field in a model where conformal invariance is broken by a direct coupling of the vector field with the inflaton. If the vector field is identified with the electromagnetic field, this correlation would be a non-Gaussian signature of primordial magnetic fields generated during inflation. We find that the signal is maximized for the flattened configuration where the wave number of the curvature perturbation is twice that of the vector field and in this limit, the magnetic non-linear parameter becomes as large as |b_{NL}| ~ 10^3. In the squeezed limit where the wave number of the curvature perturbation vanishes, our results agree with the magnetic consistency relation derived in arXiv:1207.4187.

description: A dramatic increase in observational data from NASA’s Kepler, K2, and TESS missions and supporting ground-based observatories have opened new opportunities to investigate the internal structure, dynamics, and evolution of stars and their atmospheres. We present 3D radiative MHD simulations for several main-sequence stars with masses from 1.4 to 1.5 Msun. The simulations are performed using the "StellarBox" code developed for modeling stellar turbulent convection and atmospheres with a high degree of realism. This presentation discusses similarities and differences between 3D realistic-type and 1D mixing-length models with regard to structural, thermodynamic, and turbulent property variations from the radiative zone to the convection zone and photosphere.
