title: The Basis of Theory Building in Biology Lies in the Organism Concept – A Historical Perspective on the Shoulders of Three Giants
Creators: name: Drack, Manfred
name: Betz, Oliver
Publisher: name: Organisms. Journal of Biological Sciences
Year: 2017

description: The rise of molecular biology went hand in hand with a marginalization of the integrative unit in biology – the organism. Although the new methodological approaches contributed to eminent progress in many fields, the often assumed sufficiency of restricting the focus to molecules is problematic. This was already clear to the founders of theoretical biology (Schaxel, Bertalanffy, and others). Although theories have long played a role in biology and can be traced back to antiquity, the field of theoretical biology was first established only in the early 20th century. Theoretical biology needs to take into account the specific features in living nature that are not tackled by other disciplines. Unsurprisingly, the organization of parts and processes together with the organism concept play a central role for such theoretical considerations. The phenomena shown by living beings cannot be traced back – in a mere “atomistic” way – to the behaviour of singled out parts alone. There are different kinds of interactions among all levels of organization in an organism, and they have to be grasped practically and theoretically. Microdeterminism, which refers to the idea that macroscopic phenomena are determined solely by events on the micro- or molecular level, must be complemented by macrodeterminacy (Weiss), which works in the diametrically opposite direction. The present paper underlines the key role of theoretical biology and its connection to the organism concept by examining their common historical development based on the contributions of Paul A. Weiss, Ludwig von Bertalanffy, and Rupert Riedl.

description: The essence of a general formulation to accommodate non-equilibrium local states in relativistic quantum field theory is explained from the viewpoint of comparison at a spacetime point between unknown generic states to be characterized as such states and the known family of probabilistic mixtures of equilibrium states. Taking advantage of the local nature of the problem, we extend the formalism to the general-relativistic context with curved spacetimes.

description: Ferromagnetism in certain B2 ordered alloys such as Fe$_{60}$Al$_{40}$ can be switched on, and tuned, via antisite disordering of the atomic arrangement. The disordering is accompanied by a $\sim$1 % increase in the lattice parameter. Here we performed a systematic disordering of B2 Fe$_{60}$Al$_{40}$ thin films, and obtained correlations between the order parameter ($S$), lattice parameter ($a_0$), and the induced saturation magnetization ($M_{s}$). As the lattice is gradually disordered, a critical point occurs at 1-$S$=0.6 and $a_0$=291 pm, where a sharp increase of the $M_{s}$ is observed. DFT calculations suggest that below the critical point the system magnetically behaves as it would still be fully ordered, whereas above, it is largely the increase of $a_0$ in the disordered state that determines the $M_{s}$. The insights obtained here can be useful for achieving tailored magnetic properties in alloys through disordering.

description: The United States Meat Export Federation (USMEF) implemented a new-product promotion program to increase exports of U.S. beef to Guatemala in response to the implementation of the Central America-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR). Consumer responsiveness and the effectiveness of the U.S.-branded beef promotion program were analyzed in this study. Demand responses to promotion activities that launched three new U.S. beef cuts in Guatemala were estimated by applying the Parks procedure to pooled, time-series, and cross-sectional data. Empirical results indicated that the promotion increased demand.

description: We extend the relation between random matrices and free probability theory from the level of expectations to the level of fluctuations. We show how the concept of "second order freeness", which was introduced in Part I, allows one to understand global fluctuations of Haar distributed unitary random matrices. In particular, independence between the unitary ensemble and another ensemble goes in the large $N$ limit over into asymptotic second order freeness. Two important consequences of our general theory are: (i) we obtain a natural generalization of a theorem of Diaconis and Shahshahani to the case of several independent unitary matrices; (ii) we can show that global fluctuations in unitarily invariant multi-matrix models are not universal.

description: This research evaluates the effects of entry by supercenters and warehouse club retailers on the location of retail grocery sales. Drawing on location theory and empirical works, spatial econometric convergence models are specifi ed and estimated. Because grocery shopping is generally a local phenomenon, the spatial models are used to capture spillover effects between geographical areas. The results show that supercenter and warehouse club retailers have a signifi cant and large effect on growth of grocery sales, especially in low population areas. The results suggest that the large stores are new grocery distribution channels, which are changing where consumers shop for groceries.

description: This study analyzes consumers’ attitudes and perceptions of food safety in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The study hypothesized that different ethnic groups perceive food safety differently for a number of reasons. A cross-section sample representing the country’s four ethnic groups was analyzed. A probit model was used to analyze factors affecting consumers’ perception and attitude toward major food safety concerns and practices. The results show that the most common food safety practice was reading expiration dates, food poisoning was the most frequent food safety concern, the family doctor was the most trusted source of information, and the householder himself was the most responsible entity regarding food safety. The respondents’ education levels and their ethnicity were the main determinants of their attitudes toward major food-safety concerns. The results indicated that it would be more effective for food-safety awareness campaigns to be disseminated through different sources of information targeting different ethnic groups.

description: We propose L3DG, the first approach for generative 3D modeling of 3D Gaussians through a latent 3D Gaussian diffusion formulation. This enables effective generative 3D modeling, scaling to generation of entire room-scale scenes which can be very efficiently rendered. To enable effective synthesis of 3D Gaussians, we propose a latent diffusion formulation, operating in a compressed latent space of 3D Gaussians. This compressed latent space is learned by a vector-quantized variational autoencoder (VQ-VAE), for which we employ a sparse convolutional architecture to efficiently operate on room-scale scenes. This way, the complexity of the costly generation process via diffusion is substantially reduced, allowing higher detail on object-level generation, as well as scalability to large scenes. By leveraging the 3D Gaussian representation, the generated scenes can be rendered from arbitrary viewpoints in real-time. We demonstrate that our approach significantly improves visual quality over prior work on unconditional object-level radiance field synthesis and showcase its applicability to room-scale scene generation.

description: Tighter constraints on measurements of primordial non-Gaussianity will allow the differentiation of inflationary scenarios. The cosmic microwave background bispectrum-the standard method of measuring the local non-Gaussianity-is limited by cosmic variance. Therefore, it is sensible to investigate measurements of non-Gaussianity using the large-scale structure. This can be done by investigating the effects of non-Gaussianity on the power spectrum on large scales. In this study we forecast the constraints on the local primordial non-Gaussianity parameter $f_{\rm NL}$ that can be obtained with future radio surveys. We utilize the multi-tracer method which reduces the effect of cosmic variance and takes advantage of the multiple radio galaxy populations which are differently biased tracers of the same underlying dark matter distribution. Improvements on previous work include the use of observational bias and halo mass estimates, updated simulations and realistic photometric redshift expectations, thus producing more realistic forecasts. Combinations of SKA simulations and radio observations were used as well as different redshift ranges and redshift bin sizes. It was found that in the most realistic case the 1 - $σ$ error on $f_{\rm NL}$ falls within the range 4.07 and 6.58, rivalling the tightest constraints currently available.

description: Given the significance of the Asian and Hispanic population in the U.S., this study was carried out to assess the factors that influence the willingness-to-pay for ethnic specialty produce by these ethnic groups. Based on over 13,000 potential interviewee leads, 1,084 Chinese, Asian Indian, Mexican, and Puerto Rican respondents were randomly selected from the East Coast. Multinomial logit analysis was performed to determine the factors that influence the willingness-topay. Chinese and Indians were more likely to pay a premium for ethnic specialty produce than were the Puerto Ricans. Income, age, and period of stay in the U.S. had significant influences on the willingness-to-pay. This study highlights the need to target this high-premium group in terms of ethnic specialty produce.

description: In the present report, let us adress the issues related to simulation of decays for particle embodied in full production and decay chains of Monte Carlo programs set-up for experiments such as at LHC or LC. Both technical issues related to the way how the events may be stored in event records and issues related to physics (in particular non-factorizable correlations of the Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky type) will be reviewed on the basis of practical examples. We will limit our discussion to the case of tau lepton and W boson decays, but similar problems (and solutions) may arise also in case of simulation for other intermediate states or particles. Examples related to construction of physics observables will be also given. In particular the method of measuring the CP parity properties of the h-tau-tau coupling at LC will be explained.

description: The principal goal of this research is to determine why university students, part of the Millennial Generation, choose to purchase produce from a farmers market. Students who cook multiple meals and use produce in these meals at their place of residence are more likely to shop at a farmers market. In addition, Millennial-aged students who value their produce being organic are also more likely to shop at a farmers market. Agriculture majors do not find availability of organic produce important when deciding whether they want to shop at a farmers market. Students living on campus value convenience when deciding if they are going to shop a farmers market, given their transportation issues.

BIP has been effectively used for the construction and analysis of large systems such as robot controllers and satellite on-board software. Nevertheless, the specification of BIP models is done in a purely textual manner without any code editor support. To facilitate the specification of BIP models, we present DesignBIP, a web-based, collaborative, version-controlled design studio. To promote model scaling and reusability of BIP models, we use a graphical language for modeling parameterized BIP models with rigorous semantics. We present the various services provided by the design studio, including model editors, code editors, consistency checking mechanisms, code generators, and integration with the JavaBIP tool-set.

description: Considerable research effort has focused on the forecasting of asset return volatility. Debate in this area centers around the performance of time series models, in particular GARCH, relative to implied volatility from observed option premiums. Existing literature suggests that the performance of any volatility forecast is sensitive to both the data and forecast horizon of interest. This paper rigorously examines the performance of several alternative volatility forecasts for fed cattle, feeder cattle, and corn cash price returns. Forecasts include time series, implied volatility, and composite specifications. The results provide considerable insight into the performance of these alternative volatility forecasting procedures over a range of relevant forecast horizons. The evidence suggests that composite methods be used when both time series and implied volatilities are available. Insight is also gained into the performance of procedures used for scaling 1-period volatility forecasts to longer horizons. However, consistent with the existing volatility forecasting literature, this research confirms the difficulty in finding a "best" volatility forecasting method across alternative data sets and horizons.

description: Economically, a well managed firm is one that consistently makes greater profits than competing firms in the industry. In terms of production agriculture, good management is demonstrated by profits that are persistently greater than those of similarly structured, neighboring farms. This research examined the effects of four management practices on profit per acre for nearly 1,000 Kansas farms over 1987-96. The four management practices were price management, cost management, technology adoption (less-tillage), and yield management. Of these four it was found that cost management and technology adoption had the greatest effect on profit per acre and a farm being able to differentiate itself from other neighboring farms. Yield was found to be moderately significant and price was found to have the smallest impact of all. Therefore, if producers wish to have continuously high profits their efforts are best spent in management practices over which they have the most control, namely, in the areas of cost control and technology adoption.

description: Neutron stars are some of the densest manifestations of massive objects in the universe. They are ideal astrophysical laboratories for testing theories of dense matter physics and provide connections among nuclear physics, particle physics and astrophysics. Neutron stars may exhibit conditions and phenomena not observed elsewhere, such as hyperon-dominated matter, deconfined quark matter, superfluidity and superconductivity with critical temperatures near ${10^{10}}$ kelvin, opaqueness to neutrinos, and magnetic fields in excess of $10^{13}$ Gauss. Here, we describe the formation, structure, internal composition and evolution of neutron stars. Observations that include studies of binary pulsars, thermal emission from isolated neutron stars, glitches from pulsars and quasi-periodic oscillations from accreting neutron stars provide information about neutron star masses, radii, temperatures, ages and internal compositions.

Towards Efficient Automated Machine Learning

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Machine learning is widely used in a variety of different disciplines to develop predictive models for variables of interest. However, building such solutions is a timeconsuming and challenging discipline that requires highly trained data scientists and domain experts. In response, the field of automated machine learning (AutoML) aimsto reduce human effort and speedup the development cycle through automation. Due to the ubiquity of hyperparameters in machine learning algorithms and the impact that a well-tuned hyperparameter configuration can have on predictiveperformance, hyperparameter optimization is a core problem in AutoML. More recently, the rise of deep learning has motivated neural architecture search (NAS), a specialized instance of a hyperparameter optimization problem focused on automating the design of neural networks. Naive approaches to hyperparameter optimization like grid search and random search are computationally intractable for large scale tuning problems. Consequently, this thesis focuses on developing efficient and principled methods for hyperparameter optimization and NAS. In particular, we make progress towards answering the following questions with the aim of developing algorithms for more efficient and effective automated machine learning:1. Hyperparameter Optimization(a) How can we effectively use early-stopping to speed up hyperparameter optimization?(b) How can we exploit parallel computing to perform hyperparameter optimization in the same time it takes to train a single model in the sequential setting?(c) For multi-stage machine learning pipelines, how can we exploit the structure of the search space to reduce total computational cost?2. Neural Architecture Search(a) What is the gap in performance between state-of-the-art weight-sharing NAS methods and random search baselines?(b) How can we develop more principled weight-sharing methods with provably faster convergence rates and improved empirical performance?(c) Does the weight-sharing paradigm commonly used in NAS have applications to more general hyperparameter optimization problems?Given these problems, this thesis is organized into two parts. The first part focuses on progress we have made towards efficient hyperparameter optimization byaddressing Problems 1a, 1b, and 1c. The second part focuses on progress we have made towards understanding and improving weight-sharing for neural architecturesearch and beyond by addressing Problems 2a, 2b, and 2c.

description: Forecasts of variables (cattle on feed, placements, and marketings) that are released in the USDA Cattle On Feed (COF) report by 36 private industry analysts and the composite forecast were evaluated along with the forecasts from an autoregressive model. In terms of relative forecast accuracy, a composite forecast was superior to individual analysts which were superior to autoregressive model forecasts. The majority of individual analysts provided statistically similar forecasts. However, some analysts' forecasts were superior and others were inferior. Also, some analysts have a comparative advantage in which variable(s) they forecast. Several analysts provided extreme (high or low) forecasts more often than randomly expected. This may be done to draw attention to their firm because extreme forecasts typically were relatively inaccurate.

description: The paper is focused on temporal logics for the description of the behaviour of real-time pushdown reactive systems. The paper is motivated to bridge tractable logics specialized for expressing separately dense-time real-time properties and context-free properties by ensuring decidability and tractability in the combined setting. To this end we introduce two real-time linear temporal logics for specifying quantitative timing context-free requirements in a pointwise semantics setting: Event-Clock Nested Temporal Logic (EC_NTL) and Nested Metric Temporal Logic (NMTL). The logic EC_NTL is an extension of both the logic CaRet (a context-free extension of standard LTL) and Event-Clock Temporal Logic (a tractable real-time logical framework related to the class of Event-Clock automata). We prove that satisfiability of EC_NTL and visibly model-checking of Visibly Pushdown Timed Automata (VPTA) against EC_NTL are decidable and EXPTIME-complete. The other proposed logic NMTL is a context-free extension of standard Metric Temporal Logic (MTL). It is well known that satisfiability of future MTL is undecidable when interpreted over infinite timed words but decidable over finite timed words. On the other hand, we show that by augmenting future MTL with future context-free temporal operators, the satisfiability problem turns out to be undecidable also for finite timed words. On the positive side, we devise a meaningful and decidable fragment of the logic NMTL which is expressively equivalent to EC_NTL and for which satisfiability and visibly model-checking of VPTA are EXPTIME-complete.

description: Pepper is one of the most consumed spices in the world. Its main compound is capsaicin, a widely studied biomarker that has pharmacological activities due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic capacity. Topical formulations such as patches based on capsaicin have been developed as an option in relieving pain and reducing swelling. In addition, capsaicin is used as an active ingredient in non-lethal weapon formulations such as pepper spray through the QuEChERS concept (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Robust, Safe) technique. Used for food analysis, it allows the direct analysis of the biomarker by TLC-ESI-MS, which are previously separated by HPTLC (High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography) using an internal standard for determination of Rf and confirmation of capsaicin in different matrices.
Metallic fingers and metallicity excess in exoplanets host stars : the accretion hypothesis revisited

description: While the metallicity excess observed in the central stars of planetary systems is confirmed by all recent observations, the reason for this excess is still a subject of debate : is it primordial, is it the result of accretion or both? The basic argument against an accretion origin is related to the masses of the outer convective zones which vary by more than one order of magnitude among the considered stars while the observed overabundances of metals are similar. We show here that in previous discussions a fundamental process was forgotten : thermohaline convection induced by the inverse mu-gradient. "Metallic fingers" may be created which dilute the accreted matter inside the star. Introducing this effect may reconcile the overabundances expected in case of accretion with the observations in stars of different masses.

description: Risk theory tells us if an insurer can effectively pool a large number of individuals to reduce the total risk, he then can provide the insurance by charging a premium close to the actuarially fair rate. There is a common belief that only when the random loss is independent, the risk can be effectively pooled, therefore because crop yield is not independent among growers crop insurance market cannot survive without government subsidy. In this paper, a weaker condition, asymptotic nonpositive correlation (a.n.c.), is presented as sufficient for effective risk pooling. US crop yield data are used to test the hypothesis and we cannot reject that US yields are a.n.c. As a result, private crop insurance/reinsurance markets are expected to be able to exist.

description: Model structure and complexity selection remains a challenging problem in system identification, especially for parametric non-linear models. Many Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) based methods have been proposed in the literature for estimating model structure and complexity. In most cases, the proposed methods are devised for estimating structure and complexity within a specified model class and hence these methods do not extend to other model structures without significant changes. In this paper, we propose a Tree Adjoining Grammar (TAG) for stochastic parametric models. TAGs can be used to generate models in an EA framework while imposing desirable structural constraints and incorporating prior knowledge. In this paper, we propose a TAG that can systematically generate models ranging from FIRs to polynomial NARMAX models. Furthermore, we demonstrate that TAGs can be easily extended to more general model classes, such as the non-linear Box-Jenkins model class, enabling the realization of flexible and automatic model structure and complexity selection via EA.

description: The current agricultural marketing literature has considerable controversy about the optimal use of hedging for farmers. Much of this literature has very limited data on farmer behavior and an evaluation of the outcome of this behavior. This paper uses data from a hedging game from marketing clubs in Maryland for 1994-1997. Results indicate that farmers do not achieve price enhancement from hedging. However, their decisions do not conform to implications of optimal hedging models in a number of dimensions. Hedge ratios are near the optimal levels under one interpretation. The paper also provides research and extension implications of the results.

description: The stability and the critical properties of the three-dimensional vortex-glass order in random type-II superconductors with point disorder is investigated in the unscreened limit based on a lattice {\it XY} model with a uniform field. By performing equilibrium Monte Carlo simulations for the system with periodic boundary conditions, the existence of a stable vortex-glass order is established in the unscreened limit. Estimated critical exponents are compared with those of the gauge-glass model.

description: We study the performance of an automated hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) approach for conditional simulation of a recently proposed, single-parameter Gibbs Markov random field (Gibbs MRF). The MRF is based on a modified version of the planar rotator (MPR) model and is used for efficient gap filling in gridded data. HMC combines the deterministic over-relaxation method and the stochastic Metropolis update with dynamically adjusted restriction and performs automatic detection of the crossover to the targeted equilibrium state. We focus on the ability of the algorithm to efficiently drive the system to equilibrium at very low temperatures even with sparse conditioning data. These conditions are the most challenging computationally, requiring extremely long relaxation times if simulated by means of the standard Metropolis algorithm. We demonstrate that HMC has considerable benefits in terms of both computational efficiency and prediction performance of the MPR method.

description: We present a 904-1183 A spectrum of the dwarf nova VW Hydri taken with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer during quiescence, eleven days after a normal outburst, when the underlying white dwarf accreter is clearly exposed in the far ultraviolet. However, model fitting show that a uniform temperature white dwarf does not reproduce the overall spectrum, especially at the shortest wavelengths. A better approximation to the spectrum is obtained with a model consisting of a white dwarf and a rapidly rotating ``accretion belt''. The white dwarf component accounts for 83% of the total flux, has a temperature of 23,000K, a v sin i = 400 km/s, and a low carbon abundance. The best-fit accretion belt component accounts for 17% of the total flux, has a temperature of about 48,000-50,000K, and a rotation rate Vrot sin i around 3,000-4,000 km/s. The requirement of two components in the modeling of the spectrum of VW Hyi in quiescence helps to resolve some of the differences in interpretation of ultraviolet spectra of VW Hyi in quiescence. However, the physical existence of a second component (and its exact nature) in VW Hyi itself is still relatively uncertain, given the lack of better models for spectra of the inner disk in a quiescent dwarf nova.

description: Robotic grasping has seen tremendous advancements in recent years. Yet, the current paradigm of manipulation research is typically some form of table-top manipulationin constrained setups or in simulation. Building general purpose personal robots that can autonomously grasp unknown objects in unstructured environments like homes isan open problem. In this thesis, we explore important directions in scaling data-driven grasping to the diversity and constraints imposed by the real world. We first discuss how we can go beyond picking individual objects in isolation to 6-DOF grasping in clutter. Most existing methods train policies on datasets collected in curated settings (in lab or simulation) and hence may not cope with the mismatchin data distribution when deployed in the wild. We build and open-source a low-cost mobile manipulator platform to parallelize data collection in challenging settings likehomes and show that policies trained on this data generalize to novel objects in unseen homes. As a result, we also discuss ideas for scaling robot learning with several robotsand transferring policies between different hardware. Yet, we hypothesize that visual perception alone is insufficient for robustness and present a self-supervised tactile-basedre-grasping framework to close the loop on grasp execution. Lastly, we strive to go beyond robotic pick-and-place and generalize to diverse semantic manipulation tasks.We do so by scaling task-oriented grasping datasets with crowdsourcing and learning from semantic information like knowledge graphs.
