description: We study halo clustering bias with second- and third-order statistics of halo and matter density fields in the MICE Grand Challenge simulation. We verify that two-point correlations deliver reliable estimates of the linear bias parameters at large scales, while estimations from the variance can be significantly affected by non-linear and possibly non-local contributions to the bias function. Combining three-point auto- and cross-correlations we find, for the first time in configuration space, evidence for the presence of such non-local contributions. These contributions are consistent with predicted second-order non-local effects on the bias functions originating from the dark matter tidal field. Samples of massive haloes show indications of bias (local or non-local) beyond second order. Ignoring non-local bias causes $20-30$\% and $5-10$\% overestimation of the linear bias from three-point auto- and cross-correlations respectively. We study two third-order bias estimators which are not affected by second-order non-local contributions. One is a combination of three-point auto- and cross- correlation. The other is a combination of third-order one- and two-point cumulants. Both methods deliver accurate bias estimations of the linear bias. Furthermore their estimations of second-order bias agree mutually. Ignoring non-local bias causes higher values of the second-order bias from three-point correlations. Our results demonstrate that third-order statistics can be employed for breaking the growth-bias degeneracy.

description: We performed a detailed study of the extended cool gas, traced by MgII absorption [$W_r(2796)\geq0.3$~Å], surrounding 14 narrow-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at 0.1250$ km/s, indicating outflowing gas. The 2/2 intrinsic MgII systems have outflow velocities a factor of $\sim4$ higher than the NaID outflow velocities. Our results are consistent with AGN-driven outflows destroying the cool gas within their halos, which dramatically decreases their cool gas covering fraction, while star-burst driven winds are expelling cool gas into their circumgalactic media (CGM). This picture appears contrary to quasar--quasar pair studies which show that the quasar CGM contains significant amounts of cool gas whereas intrinsic gas found `down-the-barrel' of quasars reveals no cool gas. We discuss how these results are complementary and provide support for the AGN unified model.

description: Freshwater in both natural and man-made stores is critical for socioeconomic development. Globally, cumulative reduction in terrestrial water storage from 1971 to 2020 is estimated to be of the order of 27,079 Bm3. Although insignificant in comparison to the total volume stored, the decrease in ‘operational’ water stored (i.e., the proportion of water storage that is sustainably utilizable by people) is estimated to be of the order of 3% to 5% since 1971. In many places, both natural and man-made water storage are declining simultaneously, exacerbating water stress. Conjunctive use of different water stores is a prerequisite for water security and it is vital that natural water stores are fully integrated, alongside man-made water infrastructure, in future water resources planning and management.

description: We study the confinement/deconfinement phase transition of the radion field in a warped model with a polynomial bulk potential. The backreaction of the radion on the metric is taken into account by using the superpotential formalism, while the radion effective potential is obtained from a novel formulation which can incorporate the backreaction. The phase transition leads to a stochastic gravitational wave background that depends on the energy scale of the first Kaluza-Klein resonance, $m_{\textrm{KK}}$. This work completes previous studies in the following aspects: i) we detail the evaluation of the radion spectrum; ii) we report on the mismatches between the thick wall approximation and the numerical bounce solution; iii) we include a suppression factor in the spectrum of sound waves accounting for their finite lifetime; and, iv) we update the bound on $m_{\textrm{KK}}$ in view of the O3 LIGO and Virgo data. We find that the forthcoming gravitational wave interferometers can probe scenarios where $m_{\textrm{KK}} \lesssim 10^9$ TeV, while the O3-run bounds rule out warped models with $10^4 \textrm{TeV} \lesssim m_{\textrm{KK}} \lesssim 10^7$ TeV exhibiting an extremely strong confinement/deconfinement phase transition.

description: Purpose of review Sapovirus, a genus in the Caliciviridae family alongside norovirus, is increasingly recognized as an important cause of childhood diarrhea. Some challenges exist in our ability to better understand sapovirus infections, including the inability to grow sapovirus in cell culture, which has hindered diagnosis and studies of immunity. Another challenge is that individuals with sapovirus infection are commonly coinfected with other enteric pathogens, complicating our ability to attribute the diarrhea episode to a single pathogen. Recent findings Development of molecular methods for sapovirus detection has increased our ability to measure disease prevalence. The prevalence of sapovirus varies between 1 and 17% of diarrhea episodes worldwide, with the highest burden in young children and older adults. Further, epidemiological studies have used novel approaches to account for the presence of coinfections with other enteric pathogens; one multisite cohort study of children under two years of age found that sapovirus had the second-highest attributable incidence among all diarrheal pathogens studied. Summary Especially in settings where rotavirus vaccines have been introduced, efforts to reduce the overall burden of childhood diarrhea should focus on the reduction of sapovirus transmission and disease burden.

description: Background: Colonisation with Streptococcus pneumoniae can lead to invasive pneumococcal disease and pneumonia. Pneumococcal acquisition and prevalence of colonisation are high in children. In older adults, a population susceptible to pneumococcal disease, colonisation prevalence is reported to be lower, but studies are heterogeneous. Methods: This is a systematic review and meta-analysis of prevalence of, and risk factors for, pneumococcal colonisation in adults ≥ 60 years of age (PROSPERO #42016036891). We identified peer-reviewed studies reporting the prevalence of S. pneumoniae colonisation using MEDLINE and EMBASE (until April 2016), excluding studies of acute disease. Participant-level data on risk factors were sought from each study. Findings: Of 2202 studies screened, 29 were analysable: 18 provided participant-level data (representing 6290 participants). Prevalence of detected pneumococcal colonisation was 0–39% by conventional culture methods and 3–23% by molecular methods. In a multivariate analysis, colonisation was higher in persons from nursing facilities compared with the community (odds ratio (OR) 2•30, 95% CI 1•26–4•21 and OR 7•72, 95% CI 1•15–51•85, respectively), in those who were currently smoking (OR 1•69, 95% CI 1•12–2•53) or those who had regular contact with children (OR 1•93, 95%CI 1•27–2•93). Persons living in urban areas had significantly lower carriage prevalence (OR 0•43, 95%CI 0•27–0•70). Interpretation: Overall prevalence of pneumococcal colonisation in older adults was higher than expected but varied by risk factors. Future studies should further explore risk factors for colonisation, to highlight targets for focussed intervention such as pneumococcal vaccination of high-risk groups.

description: Response evaluation after induction therapy with ustekinumab (UST) in Crohn’s disease (CD) is important for decisions on maintenance therapy. We aimed to assess the potential of fecal calprotectin (FC) levels to predict endoscopic response at week 16. CD patients with FC >100 µg/g and endoscopic active disease (SES-CD> 2, Rutgeerts’ score ≥ i2) at initiation of UST therapy were enrolled. FC was determined at weeks 0, 2, 4, 8 and 16 and patients underwent a colonoscopy at week 16. The primary outcome was an endoscopic response at week 16 (SES-CD score ≥50% decrease or a decrease of ≥1 points in Rutgeerts’ score). The optimal cut-off levels of FC and change in FC to predict endoscopic response were determined using ROC statistics. 59 CD patients were included. Endoscopic response was observed in 21/59 (36%) patients. The diagnostic accuracy for FC levels at week 8 to predict endoscopic response at week 16 showed a predictive value of 0.71. A decrease in FC levels ≥500 µg/g between baseline at week 8 indicates endoscopic response (PPV = 89%), whereas absence of any decrease indicates endoscopic non-response after induction (NPV = 81%). Continuation of UST therapy without endoscopic response evaluation may be considered in patients with a decrease in FC levels of ≥500 µg/g at week 8. The decision on continuation of UST therapy or therapy optimization needs reconsideration in patients without a decrease of FC level. In all other patients, endoscopic response evaluation of induction therapy remains essential for therapeutic decisions.

description: We find that a uniformly accelerated particle detector coupled to the vacuum can cool down as its acceleration increases, due to relativistic effects. We show that in (1+1)-dimensions, a detector coupled to the scalar field vacuum for finite timescales (but long enough to satisfy the KMS condition) has a KMS temperature that decreases with acceleration, in certain regimes. This contrasts with the heating that one would expect from the Unruh effect.

description: Solving strategic games with huge action space is a critical yet under-explored topic in economics, operations research and artificial intelligence. This paper proposes new learning algorithms for solving two-player zero-sum normal-form games where the number of pure strategies is prohibitively large. Specifically, we combine no-regret analysis from online learning with Double Oracle (DO) methods from game theory. Our method -- \emph{Online Double Oracle (ODO)} -- is provably convergent to a Nash equilibrium (NE). Most importantly, unlike normal DO methods, ODO is \emph{rationale} in the sense that each agent in ODO can exploit strategic adversary with a regret bound of $\mathcal{O}(\sqrt{T k \log(k)})$ where $k$ is not the total number of pure strategies, but rather the size of \emph{effective strategy set} that is linearly dependent on the support size of the NE. On tens of different real-world games, ODO outperforms DO, PSRO methods, and no-regret algorithms such as Multiplicative Weight Update by a significant margin, both in terms of convergence rate to a NE and average payoff against strategic adversaries.

description: Patients with liver cirrhosis are recommended ultrasonography screening for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma to increase the chances of curative treatment. However, ultrasonography alone lacks in sensitivity. Adding plasma biomarkers may increase the detection rate. We performed a broad exploratory analysis to find new plasma proteins with potential applicability for HCC screening in patients with cirrhosis. In a protein discovery cohort of 172 patients with cirrhosis or HCC, we screened for 481 proteins with suspension bead array or proximity extension assay. From these, 24 proteins were selected for further analysis in a protein verification cohort (n = 160), using ELISA, Luminex or an electrochemiluminescence platform. A cut-off model and a stepwise logistic regression model were used to find combinations of proteins with the best discriminatory performance between HCC and cirrhosis. Stepwise logistic regression revealed alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), decarboxy-prothrombin (DCP), thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1), and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) as the proteins with the best discriminatory performance between HCC and cirrhosis. Adding TXNRD1 to DCP and AFP increased the AUC from 0.844 to 0.878, and combining AFP, DCP and TXNRD1 with age and sex resulted in an AUC of 0.920. FGF21, however, did not further increase the performance when including age and sex. In the present study, TXNRD1 improves the sensitivity and specificity of AFP and DCP as HCC screening tools in patients with cirrhosis. We suggest that TXNRD1 should be validated in prospective settings as a new complementary HCC biomarker together with AFP and DCP.

description: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between lifestyle and gallstones. We performed an observational study using the 2018–2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Univariate and multivariate-adjusted logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the correlations between lifestyle factors and gallstone risk. Second, Mendelian randomization (MR) was applied to decrease the causal relationship between lifestyle factors and gallstones. This observational study enrolled 11,970 individuals. The risk of gallstones was found to increase with increased sitting time (odds ratio (OR) 1.03, 95% CI 1.00–1.05, p = 0.02). In contrast, the risk of gallstones was found to decrease with recreational activity (OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.29–0.87, p = 0.02). The results of the MR also showed that time spent watching television (OR 1.646; 95% CI 1.161–2.333, p = 0.005) and physical activity (OR 0.953, 95% CI 0.924–0.988, p = 0.003) remained independently causally associated with gallstones. Prolonged sitting increases the risk of gallstones, whereas recreational activity reduces the risk. These findings need to be verified in further prospective cohort studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods.

description: In this paper we prove the existence of a maximum for the first Steklov-Dirichlet eigenvalue in the class of convex sets with a fixed spherical hole under volume constraint. More precisely, if $Ω=Ω_0 \setminus \bar{B}_{R_1}$, where $B_{R_1}$ is the ball centered at the origin with radius $R_1>0$ and $Ω_0\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, is an open bounded and convex set such that $B_{R_1}\Subset Ω_0$, then the first Steklov-Dirichlet eigenvalue $σ_1(Ω)$ has a maximum when $R_1$ and the measure of $Ω$ are fixed. Moreover, if $Ω_0$ is contained in a suitable ball, we prove that the spherical shell is the maximum.

description: Abstract
Studies in support of the facilitative role of correction in either forms of recast, repetition, confirmations, compression checks, or clarification request abound (Ellis, 2003). Among these studies recast has proved to be the most frequent type of error correction in classroom [30] [32]; however,   self-correction or elicitation might make students notice the gap more than recast. To illuminate the difference, two methods of recast and self correction were applied to two groups of students to see if there would be any difference between two methods on the students' writing accuracy regarding the use of past tense. Man Whitney, along with Wilcoxon, was run as the main statistical techniques to examine the effectiveness of methods of error correction on students' writing accuracy. The result of this study showed that there is no significant difference between the two methods of correction although students improve after treatment; however, self correction outperformed recast and recast did not improve students' accuracy in posttest.

Towards Standardising Reinforcement Learning Approaches for Production Scheduling Problems

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Recent years have seen a rise in interest in terms of using machine learning, particularly reinforcement learning (RL), for production scheduling problems of varying degrees of complexity. The general approach is to break down the scheduling problem into a Markov Decision Process (MDP), whereupon a simulation implementing the MDP is used to train an RL agent. Since existing studies rely on (sometimes) complex simulations for which the code is unavailable, the experiments presented are hard, or, in the case of stochastic environments, impossible to reproduce accurately. Furthermore, there is a vast array of RL designs to choose from. To make RL methods widely applicable in production scheduling and work out their strength for the industry, the standardisation of model descriptions - both production setup and RL design - and validation scheme are a prerequisite. Our contribution is threefold: First, we standardize the description of production setups used in RL studies based on established nomenclature. Secondly, we classify RL design choices from existing publications. Lastly, we propose recommendations for a validation scheme focusing on reproducibility and sufficient benchmarking.
Public Perceptions of Fukushima Food Products in South Korea and Its dispute Resolution: A Comparative Study on East Asia
Creators: name: Seo, Young Chan

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Applications (stat.AP)

description: This paper analyzes the excessive risk perception of Korea as one of the causes of the international dispute over the import of Fukushima food between Korea and Japan. To do this, it compares the perception of Fukushima food among Koreans and people from other countries through a survey and identifies the factors that affect the perception through a linear regression analysis. As a result, it finds that Koreans have a higher negative perception of Fukushima food than people from other countries and that this is related to the level of knowledge about radiation and the evaluation of the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident response. It also presents the subjective opinion of the author that political conflicts between Korea and Japan may affect the perception gap and international disputes. This paper proposes a model of risk perception and decision-making process for Fukushima food and emphasizes the need to improve the risk perception of Koreans through public education and publicity campaigns.

description: The results from the CMS search for supersymmetric particles based on Run-2 data recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV are summarized. Strong and weak production of SUSY scenarios are considered. Results presented include the searches for squarks and gluinos, direct production of charginos, neutralinos, and sleptons. These searches involve final state objects comprising jets, missing transverse momentum, electrons or muons, taus or photons, as well as long-lived particles. The data in these searches are found to be consistent with standard model predictions and no significant excess is observed. Upper limits have been set on the masses of supersymmetric particles from a variety of search channels.

description: Three-dimensional topological insulators and topological crystalline insulators represent new quantum states of matter, which are predicted to have insulating bulk states and spin-momentum-locked gapless surface states. Experimentally, it has proven difficult to achieve the high bulk resistivity that would allow surface states to dominate the transport properties over a substantial temperature range. Here we report a series of indium-doped Pb$_{1-x}$Sn$_x$Te compounds that manifest huge bulk resistivities together with strong evidence of topological surface states, based on thickness-dependent transport studies and magnetoresistance measurements. For these bulk-insulating materials, the surface states determine the resistivity for temperatures approaching 30 K.

description: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients might benefit from a biomarker to more precisely prognosticate their overall survival to make more informed treatment and surveillance decisions. The aim of the study was to assess the circulating biomarker Thymidine kinase (TK) activity in samples from patients with PDAC to improve prognostic precision. Using the sensitive TK activity (TKa) assay DiviTum®, serum samples from 60 PDAC patients were analyzed. Median TKa value for patients with PDAC was 931 Du/L. TK activity <931 and CA19-9 < 37 was prognostic for a longer survival, compared to patients with any or both TK activity >931 and CA19-9 > 37, with median 41.3 vs 8.6 months from sample to death (p < 0.001), and 3-year survival was 55.6% vs 8.9% (p < 0.001). Hazard ratio was 2.81 if any or both of TK or CA19-9 were above the cut-off value (p < 0.05). TKa in combination with CA19-9 outperforms each marker individually for prediction of survival. Overall survival is longer in patients with both TKa <931 Du/L and CA19-9 < 37. Further studies of TKa levels at different disease stages and correlation to outcome is warranted to find the full potential clinical usage of the TKa marker in PDAC.
