Fine mapping of causal HLA variants using penalised regression
Creators: name: Vignal, Charlotte
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: The identification of risk loci in the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) region using single-SNP association tests has been hampered by the extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD). Penalised regression via Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) can be used as a method for selection of variables in multi-SNP analysis, and to deal with the problem of multi-collinearity among predictors. This method applies a penalty that shrinks the estimates of the regression coefficients towards zero. This is equivalent to applying a double exponential (DE) prior distribution to the coefficients with a mode at zero, corresponding to the prior belief that most of the effects are negligible in a Bayesian approach. Parameter inference is based on the posterior mode, with non-zero values indicating marker-disease associations. Single-SNP, stepwise regression and the LASSO approach were applied to case-control studies of rheumatoid arthritis, a disease which has been associated with markers from the HLA region. A generalisation of the LASSO called the HyperLasso (HLASSO), which uses the normal-exponential-gamma prior in place of the DE, was also investigated. These approaches were applied to data from the Genetics of Rheumatoid Arthritis (GoRA) study. Genotype imputation was used as a means to jointly analyse the GoRA and the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium (WTCCC) HLA SNPs. The North American Rheumatoid Arthritis Consortium (NARAC) study was used to validate the findings. After controlling for type-I error, the penalised approaches greatly reduced the number of positive signals compared to single-SNP analysis, suggesting that correlation among SNP loci was better handled. The HLASSO results were sparser but similar to the LASSO results. One SNP in HLA-DPB1 was replicated in the NARAC study. In both models, the robustness of the retained variables was verified by bootstrapping. The results suggest that SNP-selection using LASSO or HLASSO shows a substantial benefit in identifying risk loci in regions of high LD.

description: The transformation optics uses geometrized Maxwell's constitutive equations to solve the inverse problem of optics, namely to solve the problem of finding the parameters of the medium along the paths of the electromagnetic field propagation. The quadratic Riemannian geometry is usually used for the geometrization of Maxwell's constitutive equations, because of the usage of the general relativity approaches. However, the problem of the insufficiency of the Riemannian structure for describing the constitutive tensor of the Maxwell's equations arises. The authors analyze the structure of the constitutive tensor and correlate it with the structure of the metric tensor of Riemannian geometry. It was concluded that the use of the quadratic metric for the geometrization of Maxwell's equations is insufficient, since the number of components of the metric tensor is less than the number of components of the constitutive tensor. The possible solution to this problem may be a transition to Finslerian geometry, in particular, the use of the Berwald-Moor metric to establish the structural correspondence between the field tensors of the electromagnetic field.

A note on wormholes as compact stellar objects

description: A Morris-Thorne wormhole can only be sustained by violating the null energy condition, thereby requiring the existence of "exotic matter," a requirement that many researchers consider unphysical. Using a mostly qualitative approach, it is proposed in this note that the basic problems can be overcome by purely relativistic considerations. The implication is that a Morris-Thorne wormhole is likely to be a compact stellar object.

description: In this paper we analyze the dynamic stability of the hovering magnetic top from first principles without using any preliminary assumptions. We write down the equations of motion for all six degrees of freedom and solve them analytically around the equilibrium solution. Using this solution we then find conditions which the height of the hovering top above the base, its total mass, and its spinning speed have to satisfy for stable hovering. The calculation presented in this paper can be used as a guide to the analysis and synthesis of magnetic traps for neutral particles.

description: The COP intends to construct a 10-ft-wide asphaltic multi-use path (MUP) and two grade-separation structures between the Arizona Canal and the Arizona Canal Diversion Channel (ACDC) to segregate pedestrian and bicycle traffic from vehicular traffic at the intersection of 51st Avenue and Cactus Road in the west portion of Phoenix, and the east portion of Glendale, Maricopa County, Arizona (Figure 1). At the COP’s request, EcoPlan Associates, Inc. conducted a class I cultural resource records review and view shed analysis of the entire project’s area of potential effect (APE) and a buffer of approximately one mile. EcoPlan was not tasked with conducting an intensive pedestrian investigation; the COP archaeologist determined that survey is not necessary because the entire project area is developed and no ground surface is visible. The 1,280-ft-long, 10-ft-wide MUP will be constructed between the Arizona Canal and the ACDC between 25 ft and 65 ft north of the Arizona Canal’s northern bank, away from direct contact with the structure. It will begin approximately 360 ft northwest of Cactus Road, and terminate approximately 400 ft southeast of 51st Avenue. Segregation of pedestrian and bicycle traffic from vehicular traffic will be accomplished by constructing two segments of the MUP below-grade, allowing pedestrians and bicyclists to bypass both 51st Avenue and Cactus Road. Below-grade segments will be constructed of 10-ft-wide by 10-ft-high reinforced box sections. Transitions between at-grade segments and below-grade underpasses will by constructed using U-shaped channels.
Model Averaging for Volatility Forecasting, Option Pricing and Asset Allocation
Creators: name: Papadaki, Georgia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: In this thesis the problem of model uncertainty is under scrutiny along with its implications in attaining optimal forecastability. To account for that averaging techniques are adopted including Bayesian model averaging, Bayesian Approximation and Thick Modelling. After an introductory chapter and a second one where some of the most celebrated conditional-volatility modelling proposals are discussed the third chapter investigates volatility forecasting and its direct association to option pricing. Some novel approaches to perform averaging are suggested here including variations of the predetermined methods together with more sophisticated algorithmic propositions such as Neural Networks. The fourth chapter extends the focal point of averaging to the whole predictive volatility density as this can be inferred first from derivatives on the underlying volatility index and second directly from the asset class under consideration (here the equity index) using bootstrap based - GARCH type models. The fifth chapter introduces some widely used variable selection techniques to the Finance continuum while averaging schemes once more are used in order to avoid model misspeci cation risk. Extensions to a nonlinear regression framework are also suggested while investment strategies are implemented in all chapters substantiating the ultimate supremacy of averaging schemes against single model alternatives. The last chapter concludes the research and makes some future suggestions for additional investigation.

description: A series of astronomical observations obtained over the period 1986 to 2018 supports the idea that life is a cosmic rather than a purely terrestrial or planetary phenomenon. These include (1) the detection of biologically relevant molecules in interstellar clouds and in comets, (2) mid-infrared spectra of interstellar grains and the dust from comets, (3) a diverse set of data from comets including the Rosetta mission showing consistency with biology and (4) the frequency of Earth-like or habitable planets in the Galaxy. We argue that the conjunction of all the available data suggests the operation of cometary biology and interstellar panspermia rather than the much weaker hypothesis of comets being only the source of the chemical building blocks of life. We conclude with specific predictions on the properties expected of extra-terrestrial life if it is discovered on Enceladus, Europa or beyond. A radically different biochemistry elsewhere can be considered as a falsification of the theory of interstellar panspermia.

description: On December 27, 1990, SWCA, Inc. Environmental Consultants, conducted an archaeological survey on the Salt River Pima and Maricopa Indian Reservation for Salt River Project for a proposed substation. Approximately 2.07 acres located in a modern field were surveyed. Isolated artifacts consisted of a single piece of heat-altered rock and five pieces of mafic igneous flaked debitage. Archival investigations revealed that the project area is located in the extreme northwestern portion of Pueblo Ultimo (AZ U:9:11 ASU), a large Hohokam village site that dates primarily to the Classic period. Archival records also indicate that a prehistoric canal system extends through the immediate project area, although no surface indications of canals could be observed during the field survey. Because the project area is located within the defined boundaries of Pueblo Ultimo, archaeological clearance cannot be recommended for the proposed undertaking. Further investigations are recommended in the form of systematic backhoe trenching in order to assess the presence of subsurface remains and to evaluate impacts upon those remains that may result from the proposed undertaking.

Using T-duality we find that the consistent description of open strings in asymmetric orbifolds requires to turn on background gauge fields on the D-branes. We derive the corresponding noncommutative geometry arising on such D-branes with mixed Neumann-Dirichlet boundary conditions directly by applying an asymmetric rotation to open strings with pure Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. As a concrete application of our results we construct asymmetric type I vacua requiring open strings with mixed boundary conditions for tadpole cancellation.

description: A reliable inference of networks from data is of key interest in the Neurosciences. Several methods have been suggested in the literature to reliably determine links in a network. To decide about the presence of links, these techniques rely on statistical inference, typically controlling the number of false positives, paying little attention to false negatives. In this paper, by means of a comprehensive simulation study, we analyse the influence of false positive and false negative conclusions about the presence or absence of links in a network on the network topology. We show that different values to balance false positive and false negative conclusions about links should be used in order to reliably estimate network characteristics. We propose to run careful simulation studies prior to making potentially erroneous conclusion about the network topology. Our analysis shows that optimal values to balance false positive and false negative conclusions about links depend on the network topology and characteristic of interest. Existing methods rely on a choice of the rate for false positive conclusions. They aim to be sure about individual links rather than the entire network. The rate of false negative conclusions is typically not investigated. Our investigation shows that the balance of false positive and false negative conclusions about links in a network has to be tuned for any network topology that is to be estimated. Moreover, within the same network topology, the results are qualitatively the same for each network characteristic, but the actual values leading to reliable estimates of the characteristics are different.

description: Dyna-style reinforcement learning is a powerful approach for problems where not much real data is available. The main idea is to supplement real trajectories, or sequences of sampled states over time, with simulated ones sampled from a learned model of the environment. However, in large state spaces, the problem of learning a good generative model of the environment has been open so far. We propose to use deep belief networks to learn an environment model for use in Dyna. We present our approach and validate it empirically on problems where the state observations consist of images. Our results demonstrate that using deep belief networks, which are full generative models, significantly outperforms the use of linear expectation models, proposed in Sutton et al. (2008)

description: This is a report on the final phase of archaeological research conducted at the University Research Park. The work was performed by the Office of Cultural Resource Management at Arizona State University. The first phase of the research involved a survey of the ground surface which led to the identification of one prehistoric canal and a low density artifact scatter in the eastern one-quarter of the parcel. In the final phase of work, eight trenches were excavated in order to examine 1) the structure and depth of the canal, 2) the stratigraphic profiles of the natural soil horizons, and 3) the distribution of subsurface archaeological remains. The results of the testing phase at the Research Park support the hypothesis that the project area could represent an area of prehistoric agricultural fields. No subsurface artifacts or architectural features were encountered that would document that the area was used for habitation or limited activity functions.
Binning of the primordial power spectrum and optimal galaxy survey design
Creators: name: Paykari, Paniez
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: The power spectrum describes the fluctuations in the Universe and encodes much of the cosmological information. Hence measuring different types of power spectra is of great importance in cosmology today. In this thesis we try to constrain two of these power spectra, the primordial power spectrum and the galaxy power spectrum. First we analyse the binning of the primordial power spectrum. The primordial power spectrum describes the initial perturbations in the Universe which eventually grew into the large-scale structure we observe today, and thereby provides an indirect probe of inflation or other structure-formation mechanisms. We will investigate which scales the primordial power spectrum can best be probed, in accordance with the knowledge about other cosmological parameters. The aim is to find the most informative way of measuring the primordial power spectrum at different length scales, using different types of surveys, such as Planck and SDSS (Bright Red Galaxy). For this we make use of the Fisher matrix formalism, principal component analysis and Hermitian square root of the Fisher matrix. This method of binning of the primordial power spectrum is then applied to the reconstruction of this power spectrum from WMAP and simulated Planck data. Here a new method for the reconstructing, directly from observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), is introduced. Finally, we investigate the optimal observing strategy for measuring galaxy/matter power spectrum. These power spectra are of great importance in cosmology. Measuring this spectrum will enable us to measure other cosmological parameters. If we are only interested in the large scale power spectrum then we might gain more by sparsely observing a larger patch of sky, for the same observing time, rather than observing a smaller contiguous area. We will investigate the advantages and disadvantages of this strategy using Bayesian Experimental Design.

description: Traditional statistical learning theory relies on the assumption that data are identically and independently distributed (i.i.d.). However, this assumption often does not hold in many real-life applications. In this survey, we explore learning scenarios where examples are dependent and their dependence relationship is described by a dependency graph, a commonly utilized model in probability and combinatorics. We collect various graph-dependent concentration bounds, which are then used to derive Rademacher complexity and stability generalization bounds for learning from graph-dependent data. We illustrate this paradigm through practical learning tasks and provide some research directions for future work. To our knowledge, this survey is the first of this kind on this subject.

Probabilistic modelling and inference of human behaviour from mobile phone time series
Creators: name: Choujaa, Driss
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: With an estimated 4.1 billion subscribers around the world, the mobile phone offers a unique opportunity to sense and understand human behaviour from location, co-presence and communication data. While the benefit of modelling this unprecedented amount of data is widely recognised, a number of challenges impede the development of accurate behaviour models. In this thesis, we identify and address two modelling problems and show that their consideration improves the accuracy of behaviour inference. We first examine the modelling of long-range dependencies in human behaviour. Human behaviour models only take into account short-range dependencies in mobile phone time series. Using information theory, we quantify long-range dependencies in mobile phone time series for the first time, demonstrate that they exhibit periodic oscillations and introduce novel tools to analyse them. We further show that considering what the user did 24 hours earlier improves accuracy when predicting user behaviour five hours or longer in advance. The second problem that we address is the modelling of temporal variations in human behaviour. The time spent by a user on an activity varies from one day to the next. In order to recognise behaviour patterns despite temporal variations, we establish a methodological connection between human behaviour modelling and biological sequence alignment. This connection allows us to compare, cluster and model behaviour sequences and introduce novel features for behaviour recognition which improve its accuracy. The experiments presented in this thesis have been conducted on the largest publicly available mobile phone dataset labelled in an unsupervised fashion and are entirely repeatable. Furthermore, our techniques only require cellular data which can easily be recorded by today's mobile phones and could benefit a wide range of applications including life logging, health monitoring, customer profiling and large-scale surveillance.

description: This preliminary report documents archaeological investigations at site NA 15, 721. The investigations were conducted under a contract with the Salt River Project (SRP). The project was administered by Donald E. Weaver, Jr., Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA), Bettina H. Rosenberg, SRP, and Charles Miller, U. S. Forest Service. Fieldwork, under the supervision of Ronald K. Yablon, MNA, was conducted between January 3 and 12, 1979. Thomas H. Caldwell and Cheryl L. Taylor assisted. All investigations were conducted in compliance with the Cultural Resource Plan for the Coronado Project (1978). NA 15, 721 was located and recorded by a MNA crew during a survey of the proposed Silverking to Kyrene, East End Transmission Line (Yablon, 1978). It was described as a low density artifact scatter composed almost entirely of lithics. No habitation units were present. A possible water control feature was recorded in the northeast portion of the site. Information concerning the physical environment, culture history, and previous archaeological investigations in the area have been presented elsewhere (Yablon and Weaver, 1978: 3-10).
Exchangeism: A Foundational Framework for Modeling Economic Disequilibrium and Crisis Dynamics
Creators: name: Pálka, Pavel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025
Subjects: exchange theory, economic stability, systemic risk, axiomatic economics, crisis modeling

description: Exchangeism is a theoretical framework that reinterprets economic crises as outcomes of cumulative imbalances in value exchange between autonomous subjects. It introduces formal axioms, mathematical models of disequilibrium, and the Exchange Stability Index (ESI) as a synthetic indicator. This work aims to offer an intuitive and interdisciplinary approach to modeling and understanding systemic risk in both economic and non-economic systems.

description: Much attention has been paid to dynamical simulation and quantum machine learning (QML) independently as applications for quantum advantage, while the possibility of using QML to enhance dynamical simulations has not been thoroughly investigated. Here we develop a framework for using QML methods to simulate quantum dynamics on near-term quantum hardware. We use generalization bounds, which bound the error a machine learning model makes on unseen data, to rigorously analyze the training data requirements of an algorithm within this framework. This provides a guarantee that our algorithm is resource-efficient, both in terms of qubit and data requirements. Our numerics exhibit efficient scaling with problem size, and we simulate 20 times longer than Trotterization on IBMQ-Bogota.

description: On June 4, 1986, Lyle M. Stone of Archaeological Research Services, Inc. (ARS) performed a cultural resources survey of a proposed 12 kV powerline corridor located on Greenback Creek near its confluence with Tonto Creek app­roximately 6.5 miles southeast of Punkin Center, Gila County, Arizona. Although the powerline will be located on both U.S. Forest Service (Tonto National Forest) and private lands, only the 2.2 mile long segment across U. S. Forest Service lands was surveyed for the presence of cultural resources. The 2.2 mile long line segment will be constructed within a 7.0 ft wide corridor and will extend to the northeast from an existing line near the intersection of Greenback Creek and Forest Route 60, to a boundary between U.S. Forest Service and pri­vate land. In addition to the powerline corridor, appro­ximately 5060 ft of 20 ft wide new construction access road across Forest land was also surveyed. It is understood that other access routes will be within the Greenback Creek channel and immediate flood-plain between pole locations.

The Construction of Pointlike Localized Charged Fields from Conformal Haag-Kastler Nets
Creators: name: Jörß, Martin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Starting from a chiral conformal Haag-Kastler net on 2 dimensional Minkowski space we construct associated charged pointlike localized fields which intertwine between arbitrary superselection sectors with finite statistics of the theory. This amounts to a proof of the Spin-Statistics theorem, the PCT theorem and the existence of operator product expansions. This paper generalizes similar results of a recently published paper by Fredenhagen and the author \cite{FrJ} from the neutral vacuum sector to the the full theory with arbitrary charge and finite statistics.

Feedback control of nonlinear PDEs using data-efficient reduced order models based on the Koopman operator
Creators: name: Peitz, Sebastian

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In the development of model predictive controllers for PDE-constrained problems, the use of reduced order models is essential to enable real-time applicability. Besides local linearization approaches, Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) has been most widely used in the past in order to derive such models. Due to the huge advances concerning both theory as well as the numerical approximation, a very promising alternative based on the Koopman operator has recently emerged. In this chapter, we present two control strategies for model predictive control of nonlinear PDEs using data-efficient approximations of the Koopman operator. In the first one, the dynamic control system is replaced by a small number of autonomous systems with different yet constant inputs. The control problem is consequently transformed into a switching problem. In the second approach, a bilinear surrogate model, is obtained via linear interpolation between two of these autonomous systems. Using a recent convergence result for Extended Dynamic Mode Decomposition (EDMD), convergence to the true optimum can be proved. We study the properties of these two strategies with respect to solution quality, data requirements, and complexity of the resulting optimization problem using the 1D Burgers Equation and the 2D Navier-Stokes Equations as examples. Finally, an extension for online adaptivity is presented.

description: In this short treatise, three important dams in central Arizona will be used to illustrate relevant issues of dam technology in the United States. These three structures - Roosevelt Dam (completed in 1911), Stewart Mountain Dam (1930), and Horseshoe Dam (1946) - Were built under the auspices of the U.S. Reclamation Service (today known as the Bureau of Reclamation) and the Phoenix-based Salt River Valley Water Users' Association (today the Salt River Project). Constructed across the Salt River and its major tributary, the Verde, these federally owned dams and others are now operated by the Salt River Project for the benefit of people in the greater Phoenix area.
Involution and Constrained Dynamics I: The Dirac Approach

Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the theory of systems with constraints from the point of view of the formal theory of partial differential equations. For finite-dimensional systems we show that the Dirac algorithm completes the equations of motion to an involutive system. We discuss the implications of this identification for field theories and argue that the involution analysis is more general and flexible than the Dirac approach. We also derive intrinsic expressions for the number of degrees of freedom.
