description: The static dielectric properties of dense ionic fluids, e.g., room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) and inorganic fused salts, are investigated on different length scales by means of grandcanonical Monte Carlo simulations. A generally applicable scheme is developed which allows one to approximately decompose the electric susceptibility of dense ionic fluids into the orientation and the distortion polarization contribution. It is shown that at long range the well-known plasma-like perfect screening behavior occurs, which corresponds to a diverging distortion susceptibility, whereas at short range orientation polarization dominates, which coincides with that of a dipolar fluid of attached cation-anion pairs. This observation suggests that the recently debated interpretation of RTILs as dilute electrolyte solutions might not be simply a yes-no-question but it might depend on the considered length scale.

description: These are the slides of the LIBER 2020 ONLINE workshop: Transitioning Scholarly Journals to Open Access: A Guide to Transformative Agreements that took place on Tuesday 23 June 2020. This workshop was organised by the LIBER Open Access Working Group in close collaboration with the Open Access 2020 Initiative (OA2020) and the ESAC Initiative Data Analytics Working Group and hosted by: Sofie Wennström, Stockholm University Library, Chair of the LIBER OA Working Group Colleen Campbell, Max Planck Digital Library & OA 2020 Paul Johnson, Reading University Library About the workshop The workshop program was optimized around the framework of LIBER’s Five Open Access Principles for Negotiations with Publishers. Specifically, the workshop aimed to be an opportunity to understand how the principles have been put into practice in preparing and negotiating successful transformative agreements and, given the rapidly evolving landscape and the benchmarks reached so far, gather input from workshop participants on how the principles might be updated. The first part of the workshop focussed specifically on the data gathering and analytics work underlying negotiation strategies, in line with the principle that licensing and open access go hand-in-hand and that there is enough money in the system. In the second part of the workshop, we reviewed how the LIBER principles and other guidelines are driving the transition of scholarly journals to open access through transformative agreements and hear about the latest trends and approaches to publisher negotiations. Input from participants about the updated principles of negotiations for agreements with publishers about Open Access was collected in this padlet.

description: Federated learning allows multiple participants to collaboratively train an efficient model without exposing data privacy. However, this distributed machine learning training method is prone to attacks from Byzantine clients, which interfere with the training of the global model by modifying the model or uploading the false gradient. In this paper, we propose a novel serverless federated learning framework Committee Mechanism based Federated Learning (CMFL), which can ensure the robustness of the algorithm with convergence guarantee. In CMFL, a committee system is set up to screen the uploaded local gradients. The committee system selects the local gradients rated by the elected members for the aggregation procedure through the selection strategy, and replaces the committee member through the election strategy. Based on the different considerations of model performance and defense, two opposite selection strategies are designed for the sake of both accuracy and robustness. Extensive experiments illustrate that CMFL achieves faster convergence and better accuracy than the typical Federated Learning, in the meanwhile obtaining better robustness than the traditional Byzantine-tolerant algorithms, in the manner of a decentralized approach. In addition, we theoretically analyze and prove the convergence of CMFL under different election and selection strategies, which coincides with the experimental results.

description: Motivated by the ever-improving performance of deep learning techniques, we design a mixed input convolutional neural network approach to predict transport properties in deformed nanoscale materials using a height map of deformations (from scanning probe information) as input. We employ our approach to study electrical transport in a graphene nanoribbon deformed by a number of randomly positioned nano-bubbles. Our network is able to make conductance predictions valid to an average error of 4.3\%. We demonstrate that such low average errors are achieved by including additional inputs like energy in a highly redundant fashion, which allows predictions that are 30-40\% more accurate than conventional architectures. We demonstrate that the same method can learn to predict the valley-resolved conductance, with success specifically in identifying the energy at which inter-valley scattering becomes prominent. We demonstrate the robustness of the approach by testing the pre-trained network on samples with deformations differing in number and shape from the training data. We employ a graph theoretical analysis of the structure and outputs of the network and conclude that a tight-binding Hamiltonian is effectively encoded in the first layer of the network. We confirm our graph theoretical analysis numerically for different hopping processes in a trained network and find the result to be accurate within an error of 1\%. Our approach contributes a new theoretical understanding and a refined methodology to the application of deep learning for the determination transport properties based on real-space disorder information.

description: PURPOSE. To estimate the direct effects of self-reported visual impairment (VI) on health, disability, and mortality and to estimate the indirect effects of VI on mortality through health and disability mediators. METHODS. The National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is a population-based annual survey designed to be representative of the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population. The National Death Index of 135,581 NHIS adult participants, 18 years of age and older, from 1986 to 1996 provided the mortality linkage through 2002. A generalized linear structural equation model (GSEM) with latent variable was used to estimate the results of a system of equations with various outcomes. Standard errors and test statistics were corrected for weighting, clustering, and stratification. RESULTS. VI affects mortality, when direct adjustment was made for the covariates. Severe VI increases the hazard rate by a factor of 1.28 (95% CI: 1.07-1.53) compared with no VI, and some VI increases the hazard by a factor of 1.13 (95% CI: 1.07-1.20). VI also affects mortality indirectly through self-rated health and disability. The total effects (direct effects plus mediated effects) on the hazard of mortality of severe VI and some VI relative to no VI are hazard ratio (HR) 1.54 (95% CI: 1.28-1.86) and HR 1.23 (95% CI: 1.16-1.31), respectively. CONCLUSIONS. In addition to the direct link between VI and mortality, the effects of VI on general health and disability contribute to an increased risk of death. Ignoring the latter may lead to an underestimation of the substantive impact of VI on mortality.

description: Mitigating errors is a significant challenge for near term quantum computers. One of the most important sources of errors is related to the readout of the quantum state into a classical bit stream. A variety of techniques have been proposed to mitigate these errors with post-hoc corrections. We propose a complementary scheme to actively reduce readout errors on a shot-by-shot basis by encoding single qubits, immediately prior to readout, into multi-qubit states. The computational resources of our technique are independent of the circuit depth and fully compatible with current hardware error rates and connectivity. We analyze the potential of our approach using two types of error-correcting codes and, as a proof of principle, demonstrate an 80% improvement in readout error on the IBMQ Mumbai quantum computer.

description: A theta is a graph consisting of two non-adjacent vertices and three internally disjoint paths between them, each of length at least two. For a family $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs, we say a graph $G$ is $\mathcal{H}$-free if no induced subgraph of $G$ is isomorphic to a member of $\mathcal{H}$. We prove a conjecture of Sintiari and Trotignon, that there exists an absolute constant $c$ for which every (theta, triangle)-free graph $G$ has treewidth at most $c\log (|V(G)|)$. A construction by Sintiari and Trotignon shows that this bound is asymptotically best possible, and (theta, triangle)-free graphs comprise the first known hereditary class of graphs with arbitrarily large yet logarithmic treewidth. Our main result is in fact a generalization of the above conjecture, that treewidth is at most logarithmic in $|V(G)|$ for every graph $G$ excluding the so-called three-path-configurations as well as a fixed complete graph. It follows that several NP-hard problems such as Stable Set, Vertex Cover, Dominating Set and Coloring admit polynomial time algorithms in graphs excluding the three-path-configurations and a fixed complete graph.

New $ε$-constraint methods for multi-objective integer linear programming: a Pareto front representation approach

description: Dealing with multi-objective problems by using generation methods has some interesting advantages since it provides the decision-maker with the complete information about the set of non-dominated points (Pareto front) and a clear overview of the problem. However, providing many solutions to the decision-maker might also be overwhelming. As an alternative approach, presenting a representative set of solutions of the Pareto front may be advantageous. Choosing such a representative set is by itself also a multi-objective problem that must consider the number of solutions to present, the uniformity, and/or the coverage of the representation, to guarantee its quality. This paper proposes three algorithms for the representation problem for multi-objective integer linear programming problems with two or more objective functions, each one of them dealing with each dimension of the problem (cardinality, coverage, and uniformity). Such algorithms are all based on the $ε$-constraint approach. In addition, the paper also presents strategies to overcome poor estimations of the Pareto front bounds. The algorithms were tested on the ability to efficiently generate the whole Pareto front or its representation. The uniformity and cardinality algorithms proved to be very efficient both in binary and integer problems, being amongst the best in the literature. Both coverage and uniformity algorithms provide good quality representations on their targeted objective, while the cardinality algorithm appears to be the most flexible, privileging uniformity for lower cardinality representations and coverage on higher cardinality.

description: This paper covers two major subjects: First, the presentation of a new open-source library called FMI.jl for integrating FMI into the Julia programming environment by providing the possibility to load, parameterize and simulate FMUs. Further, an extension to this library called FMIFlux.jl is introduced, that allows the integration of FMUs into a neural network topology to obtain a NeuralFMU. This structural combination of an industry typical black-box model and a data-driven machine learning model combines the different advantages of both modeling approaches in one single development environment. This allows for the usage of advanced data driven modeling techniques for physical effects that are difficult to model based on first principles.

description: Purpose. To understand the barriers facing primary care providers (PCPs), including nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs), in the current referral-to-eye-care process and to solicit suggestions from PCPs on how to improve the current referral system. Methods. Four focus groups were conducted with a total of 17 PCPs: two groups with physicians (MDs): one in a rural setting and one in an academic medical center setting and one group of NPs and one of PAs, both in an academic setting. All discussions were audiotaped and transcribed, and both authors performed content analysis of the transcripts with the assistance of qualitative software. Results. The most frequently cited referral barriers included: (1) poor communication from eye care providers (ECPs), (2) patients' lack of finances/insurance coverage, and (3) difficulty in scheduling an eye care appointment. Suggestions made in all groups on ways to improve the current referral system included (1) implementing electronic medical records (EMRs), (2) receiving better communication/feedback from ECPs, (3) having ophthalmologists hold clinic days in primary care facilities, and (4) performing retinal scans in primary care clinics. We found few differences between the opinions of MDs and those of NPs and PAs. Conclusions. PCPs desire change(s) in the current referral-to-eye-care system. Better communication between PCPs and ECPs, further implementation of EMRs, and increasing eye screening in primary care clinics were common themes. Implementing specific suggestions, such as modernizing medical record systems, may help to increase eye care utilization among patients at high risk for advancing eye disease and vision loss.

description: We study theoretically the ultrafast spin dynamics of II-VI diluted magnetic semiconductors in the presence of spin-orbit interaction. Our goal is to explore the interplay or competition between the exchange $sd$-coupling and the spin-orbit interaction in both bulk and quantum well systems. For bulk materials we concentrate on Zn$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$Se and take into account the Dresselhaus interaction, while for quantum wells we examine Hg$_{1-x-y}$Mn$_x$Cd$_y$Te systems with a strong Rashba coupling. Our calculations were performed with a recently developed formalism which incorporates electronic correlations beyond mean-field theory originated from the exchange $sd$-coupling. For both bulk and quasi-two-dimensional systems we find that, by varying the system parameters within realistic ranges, both interactions can be chosen to play a dominant role or to compete on an equal footing with each other. The most notable effect of the spin-orbit interaction in both types of systems is the appearance of strong oscillations where the exchange $sd$-coupling by itself only causes an exponential decay of the mean electronic spin components. The mean-field approximation is also studied and it is interpreted analytically why it shows a strong suppression of the spin-orbit-induced dephasing of the spin component parallel to the Mn magnetic field.

description: PURPOSE: To determine the effects and posterior distribution of injections made into the anterior suprachoroidal space (SCS). METHODS: The anterior SCS of adult porcine and canine ex vivo eyes was cannulated. Latex injections and high frequency ultrasound (50 MHz) was used to image the effect and distension of the SCS. Flow characteristics and percentage maximal distribution of microbubble contrast injection into the SCS were assessed by 2D and 3D ultrasound. RESULTS: Mean (SD) distension of the SCS with PBS increased from 1.57 (0.48) mm after injection of 250 μL to 3.28 (0.57) mm with 1000 μL PBS. Eyes injected at physiologic IOP had no significant difference in SCS distension. In real-time 2D ultrasound, the contrast agent flowed from the injection site to the opposite ventral anterior SCS and the posterior SCS. Contrast arrived at the opposite and posterior SCS 7.8 (4.6) and 7.7 (4.6) seconds after injection, respectively. In sagittal images, contrast was visible in 24.0%to 27.2% of the SCS; in 10 of 12 eyes, contrast reached the posterior pole of the eye. In 3D images, contrast medium occupied 39.0% to 52.1% of the entire SCS. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the SCS can expand, in a dose-dependent manner, to accommodate various volumes of fluid and that it is possible to image the SCS with ultrasound contrast. The authors' hypothesis that a single anterior SCS injection can reach the ocular posterior segment was supported. Further development of SCS injections for treatment of the ocular posterior segment is warranted.
title: Synthetic studies on the pederin family of antitumour agents. Syntheses of pederin, mycalamide B and analogues

Subjects: subject: Pharmacology, organic chemistry.

description: A general modular approach to members of the pederin family of antitumour agents, exemplified by syntheses of pederin (1.1), mycalamide B (1.5) and analogues (17-epi-1.5, 2.8, 2.9 and 2.10), is described. The common strategy makes use of a metallated dihydropyran approach to couple two advanced fragments. All 6 compounds are prepared from 6-lithio-2,3-dimethyl-4-phenylselenomethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran 1.59 and 2-(3- chloropropyl)-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-4-one 2.4. The key steps in the synthesis of pederin 1.1 or its analogues are Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylations and a rhodium-catalysed directed reduction of an acylimidate. The key steps in the synthesis of the right fragment of mycalamide B 1.5 are a P2O5-mediated formation of the trioxadecalin ring, a Meerwein-Pondorf-Verley reduction to install the C13-stereogenic centre, installation of the C10-N bond in good yield and total stereocontrol at the C10 centre via a Curtius rearrangement and/or a Hofmann rearrangement, as well as Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylations.

description: IMPORTANCE Making rational decisions about screening requires information about its harms, but high-quality evidence is often either not available or not used. One reason may be that we lack a coherent framework, a taxonomy, for conceptualizing and studying these harms. OBJECTIVE To create a taxonomy, we categorized harms from several sources: systematic reviews of screening, other published literature, and informal discussions with clinicians and patients. We used this information to develop an initial taxonomy and vetted it with local and national experts, making revisions as needed. RESULTS We propose a taxonomy with 4 domains of harm from screening: physical effects, psychological effects, financial strain, and opportunity costs. Harms can occur at any step of the screening cascade. We provide definitions for each harm domain and illustrate the taxonomy using the example of screening for lung cancer. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The taxonomy provides a systematic way to conceptualize harms as experienced by patients. As shown in the lung cancer screening example, the taxonomy also makes clear where (which domains of harms and which parts of the screening cascade) we have useful information and where there are gaps in our knowledge. The taxonomy needs further testing and validation across a broad range of screening programs. We hope that further development of this taxonomy can improve our thinking about the harms of screening, thus informing our research, policy making, and decision making with patients about the wisdom of screening.

description: Quantum field theory in curved space-times is a well developed area in mathematical physics which has had important phenomenological applications to the very early universe. However, it is not commonly appreciated that on time dependent space-times ---including the simplest cosmological models--- dynamics of quantum fields is not unitary in the standard sense. This issue is first explained with an explicit example and it is then shown that a generalized notion of unitarity does hold. The generalized notion allows one to correctly pass to the Schrödinger picture starting from the Heisenberg picture used in the textbook treatments. Finally, we indicate how these considerations can be extended from simple cosmological models to general globally hyperbolic space-times

description: The objective of this study was to characterize variation and identify SNP and chromosomal regions associated with mineral concentrations in LM of Angus beef cattle. Samples of LM from 2,285 Angus cattle were obtained and concentrations of seven minerals including iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and zinc were quantified. Genomic DNA extracted from the ground beef sample used for mineral composition was genotyped with the Bovine SNP50 Infinium II BeadChip and effects of SNP on each trait were estimated using the Bayes-Cπ module of GenSel software. Pedigree-based estimates of heritabilities and corresponding genetic variances indicate iron was the only mineral concentration, which could be considered a good candidate for manipulation by genomic selection. The amount of variation that could be accounted for by SNP genotypes was concordant with pedigree-based heritabilities and varied from very low for potassium and sodium (< 0.09) to medium-high (0.37) for iron. Though significant chromosomal regions were identified for all minerals analyzed in this study, further study focused on iron. Seven regions on six chromosomes (1, 2, 7, 10, 15 and 28) were identified to have major effect on iron content of LM in Angus cattle. The accuracy of direct genomic values (DGV) for iron concentration was estimated using a five-fold cross-validation strategy. The accuracy of DGV estimated as the genetic correlation between DGV and the phenotype (iron concentration) adjusted for contemporary groups was 0.59. A bivariate animal model was used to estimate genetic correlations between iron concentrations and a reduced set of economically important carcass traits: HCW, ribeye area, calculated USDA yield grade, percent KPH, and marbling score. The genetic correlations between iron concentration and HCW, percentage KPH, marbling score and ribeye area were small (-0.19 - 0.15) and non-significant. Although still weak (0.22), a positive significant genetic correlation was identified between iron content and USDA calculated yield grade. Beef is a major contributor of iron and zinc in the human diet, and this study found that iron content might be effectively manipulated through marker-assisted selection programs, without compromising other carcass and palatability traits.

description: Group convolution has been widely used in order to reduce the computation time of convolution, which takes most of the training time of convolutional neural networks. However, it is well known that a large number of groups significantly reduce the performance of group convolution. In this paper, we propose a new convolution methodology called ``two-level'' group convolution that is robust with respect to the increase of the number of groups and suitable for multi-GPU parallel computation. We first observe that the group convolution can be interpreted as a one-level block Jacobi approximation of the standard convolution, which is a popular notion in the field of numerical analysis. In numerical analysis, there have been numerous studies on the two-level method that introduces an intergroup structure that resolves the performance degradation issue without disturbing parallel computation. Motivated by these, we introduce a coarse-level structure which promotes intergroup communication without being a bottleneck in the group convolution. We show that all the additional work induced by the coarse-level structure can be efficiently processed in a distributed memory system. Numerical results that verify the robustness of the proposed method with respect to the number of groups are presented. Moreover, we compare the proposed method to various approaches for group convolution in order to highlight the superiority of the proposed method in terms of execution time, memory efficiency, and performance.
