description: Follow-ship network among users underlies the diffusion dynamics of messages on online social networks. Generally, the structure of underlying social network determines the visibility of messages and the diffusion process. In this paper, we study forwarding behavior of individuals, taking Sina Weibo as an example. We investigate multiple exposures in information diffusion and the "forwarding whom" problem associated with multiple exposures. Finally, we model and predict the "forwarding whom" behavior of individuals, combining structural, temporal, historical, and content features. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves a high accuracy 91.3%.

The effects of vaping on olfactory function
Creators: name: Ventoso, Alexis D.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Prior studies in human and animal models have demonstrated that exposure to aerosolized toxicants can induce lasting olfactory loss and toxicant transportation to the brain via the olfactory nerve. The surge in vaping popularity requires assessment of potential effects of vaping on olfactory function to inform regulation and public health guidance. Vaping using electronic nicotine delivery systems exposes the upper airway, including the olfactory system, to a complex array of potential toxicants. We assessed olfactory ability in a community sample of 113 participants, of whom 47 self-reported as vaping regularly. These participants were far more likely to exhibit clinical impairment of olfactory function (odds ratio 7.2) than non-vaping participants, requiring on average a 3.1-fold higher concentration to detect an odorant at threshold and scoring 1.0 standard deviations worse on an odor discrimination test. However, vape users showed no deficit in verbal odor identification. These effects were not explained by recency of vape use (ruling out sensory adaptation as a mechanism), type of vape device, or methods of inhalation or exhalation. The data further suggested that vape users might be more vulnerable to olfactory loss associated with COVID-19, but the deleterious effect of vaping was statistically significant among the subset of participants with no history of COVID-19. To identify potential mechanisms of injury, we and our collaborators developed a mouse model in which odor-evoked synaptic output from olfactory nerve terminals into the brain’s olfactory bulb was assayed in vivo using optical neurophysiology before and after exposure to aerosols from a consumer vape device. These data demonstrated that acute vape exposure strongly reduced odor-evoked olfactory nerve output, consistent with the loss of sensitivity observed in humans, and reduced the differences in neural response patterns evoked by similar odors, consistent with the loss of discrimination acuity observed in humans. Exposure to nicotine-free vape aerosols induced similar deficits in a dose-dependent manner, demonstrating that the propylene glycol/vegetable glycerin base fluid contributes to olfactory pathophysiology. We then tested the hypothesis that heavy metals might be present in the vape fluid (potentially introduced by the metal filament used to generate the aerosol) and deposited in the nasal epithelium. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed the presence of arsenic, nickel, manganese, cadmium, chromium, and lead in the vape aerosol, of which arsenic, nickel, and manganese were significantly retained in the olfactory epithelium of vape-exposed mice. These results demonstrate substantial olfactory loss in people who vape and suggest that disruption of the peripheral olfactory system by vape aerosols is the likely mechanism of injury.

description: We develop spectral theory for the q-Hahn stochastic particle system introduced recently by Povolotsky. That is, we establish a Plancherel type isomorphism result which implies completeness and biorthogonality statements for the Bethe ansatz eigenfunctions of the system. Owing to a Markov duality with the q-Hahn TASEP (a discrete-time generalization of TASEP with particles' jump distribution being the orthogonality weight for the classical q-Hahn orthogonal polynomials), we write down moment formulas which characterize the fixed time distribution of the q-Hahn TASEP with general initial data. The Bethe ansatz eigenfunctions of the q-Hahn system degenerate into eigenfunctions of other (not necessarily stochastic) interacting particle systems solvable by the coordinate Bethe ansatz. This includes the ASEP, the (asymmetric) six-vertex model, and the Heisenberg XXZ spin chain (all models are on the infinite lattice). In this way, each of the latter systems possesses a spectral theory, too. In particular, biorthogonality of the ASEP eigenfunctions which follows from the corresponding q-Hahn statement implies symmetrization identities of Tracy and Widom (for ASEP with either step or step Bernoulli initial configuration) as corollaries. Another degeneration takes the q-Hahn system to the q-Boson particle system (dual to q-TASEP) studied in detail in our previous paper (2013). Thus, at the spectral theory level we unify two discrete-space regularizations of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation / stochastic heat equation, namely, q-TASEP and ASEP.

description: We construct higher categories of iterated spans, possibly equipped with extra structure in the form of "local systems", and classify their fully dualizable objects. By the Cobordism Hypothesis, these give rise to framed topological quantum field theories, which are the framed versions of the "classical" TQFTs considered in the quantization programme of Freed-Hopkins-Lurie-Teleman. Using this machinery, we also construct an infinity-category of Lagrangian correspondences between symplectic derived algebraic stacks and show that all its objects are fully dualizable.

The new Korean, and the Japanese war
Creators: name: Griffis, W. E. (William Elliot)
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1883

description: Griffis begins by retelling his encounter with Min Yong Ik, describing it as his first time meeting a Korean “in the flesh”. Griffis proceeds to explain the political situation in which Min Yong Ik was directly involved, as he explains the efforts of revolutionary Kim Ok Kiun. The "Korean Government" was a feudalistic system that vacillated between Chinese and Japanese influence. The current families in power, the Min family and the Li family, each had their own pro-Chinese/pro-Japanese affiliations, so conflict began to arise in Seoul after American favor began to tip towards Japan. Kim Ok Kiun, one of the first Koreans to embrace Western influence, desired independence for Korea. Kim’s coup took advantage of Chinese attention being placed on the Sino-French War, and the resulting conflict in Seoul led to a brief stint of power that would quickly be extinguished by Chinese forces. Kim would flee to Japan and later be assassinated in Shanghai, but his legacy would remain as a patriot with good (yet lofty) intentions for a Korean government.
The m-Degenerate Chromatic Number of a Digraph

description: The digraph chromatic number of a directed graph $D$, denoted $χ_A(D)$, is the minimum positive integer $k$ such that there exists a partition of the vertices of $D$ into $k$ disjoint sets, each of which induces an acyclic subgraph. For any $m \geq 1$, a digraph is weakly $m$-degenerate if each of its induced subgraphs has a vertex of in-degree or out-degree less than $m$. We introduce a generalization of the digraph chromatic number, namely $χ_m(D)$, which is the minimum number of sets into which the vertices of a digraph $D$ can be partitioned so that each set induces a weakly $m$-degenerate subgraph. We show that for all digraphs $D$ without directed 2-cycles, $χ_m(D) \leq \frac{2Δ(D)}{4m+1} + O(1)$. Because $χ_1(D) = χ_A(D)$, we obtain as a corollary that $χ_A(D) \leq 2/5 \cdot Δ(D) + O(1)$. We then use this bound to show that $χ_A(D) \leq \sqrt{2/3} \cdot \tildeΔ(D) + O(1)$, substantially improving a bound of Harutyunyan and Mohar that states that $χ_A(D) \leq (1 - e^{-13})\cdot \tildeΔ(D)$ for large enough $\tildeΔ(D)$.

description: A fundamental problem in studying and modeling economic and financial systems is represented by privacy issues, which put severe limitations on the amount of accessible information. Here we introduce a novel, highly nontrivial method to reconstruct the structural properties of complex weighted networks of this kind using only partial information: the total number of nodes and links, and the values of the strength for all nodes. The latter are used as fitness to estimate the unknown node degrees through a standard configuration model. Then, these estimated degrees and the strengths are used to calibrate an enhanced configuration model in order to generate ensembles of networks intended to represent the real system. The method, which is tested on real economic and financial networks, while drastically reducing the amount of information needed to infer network properties, turns out to be remarkably effective$-$thus representing a valuable tool for gaining insights on privacy-protected socioeconomic systems.

description: We compute the massive-sector worldsheet S-matrix for superstring theories in AdS(n) x S(n) x T(10-2n) (with n=2,3,5) in the near BMN expansion up to one-loop order in inverse string tension. We show that, after taking into account the wave function renormalization, the one-loop S-matrix is UV finite. In an appropriate regularization scheme the S-matrix is consistent with the underlying symmetries of the superstring theory, i.e. for the n=3,5 cases it coincides with the one implied by the light-cone gauge symmetries with the dressing phases determined from the crossing equations. For the n=2,3 cases we observe that the massless modes decouple from the one-loop calculation of massive mode scattering, i.e. the 2n-dimensional supercoset sigma model and the full 10-dimensional superstring happen to have the same massive one-loop S-matrix.

 Abstract: Incorrectly sized balloon catheters can lead to increased post-surgical complications, yet even with preoperative imaging, correct selection remains a challenge. With limited feedback during surgery, it is difficult to verify correct deployment. We propose the use of integrated impedance measurements and Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) imaging to assess the deformation of the balloon and determine the size and shape of the surrounding lumen. Previous work using single impedance measurements, or pressure data and analytical models, whilst demonstrating high sizing accuracy, have assumed a circular cross section. Here we extend these methods by adding a multitude of electrodes to detect elliptical and occluded lumen and obtain EIT images to localise deformations. Using a 14 Fr (5.3 mm) catheter as an example, numerical simulations were performed to find the optimal electrode configuration of two rings of 8 electrodes spaced 10 mm apart. The simulations predicted that the maximum detectable aspect ratio decreased from 0.9 for a 14mm balloon to 0.5 at 30mm. The sizing and ellipticity detection results were verified experimentally. A prototype robotic balloon catheter was constructed to automatically inflate a compliant balloon while simultaneously recording EIT and pressure data. Data were collected in experiments replicating stenotic vessels with an elliptical and asymmetrical profile, and the widening of a lumen during angioplasty. After calibration, the system was able to correctly localise the occlusion and detect aspect ratios of 0.75. EIT images further localised the occlusion and visualised the dilation of the lumen during balloon inflation.

description: Current implementations of fluctuating lattice Boltzmann equations (FLBE) describe single component fluids. In this paper, a model based on the continuum kinetic Boltzmann equation for describing multicomponent fluids is extended to incorporate the effects of thermal fluctuations. The thus obtained fluctuating Boltzmann equation is first linearized to apply the theory of linear fluctuations, and expressions for the noise covariances are determined by invoking the fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) directly at the kinetic level. Crucial for our analysis is the projection of the Boltzmann equation onto the ortho-normal Hermite basis. By integrating in space and time the fluctuating Boltzmann equation with a discrete number of velocities, the FLBE is obtained for both ideal and non-ideal multicomponent fluids. Numerical simulations are specialized to the case where mean-field interactions are introduced on the lattice, indicating a proper thermalization of the system.

Effect of vacuum polarization of charged massive fermions in an Aharonov--Bohm field

description: The effect of vacuum polarization of charged massive fermions in an Aharonov-Bohm (AB) potential in 2+1 dimensions is investigated. The causal Green's function of the Dirac equation with the AB potential is represented via the regular and irregular solutions of the two-dimensional radial Dirac equation. It is shown that the vacuum current density contains the contribution from free filled states of the negative energy continuum as well as that from a bound unfilled state, which can emerge in the above background due to the interaction of the fermion spin magnetic moment with the AB magnetic field while the induced charge density contains only the contribution from the bound state. The expressions for the vacuum charge and induced current densities are obtained (recovered for massless fermions) for the graphene in the field of infinitesimally thin solenoid perpendicular to the plane of a sample. We also find the bound state energy as a function of magnetic flux, fermion spin and the radius of solenoid as well as discuss the role of the so-called self-adjoint extension parameter and determine it in terms of the physics of the problem.

Learning Toxicity Classifications From Semantic Knowledge-Base Data

description: In late 2017, the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods (ICCVAM) proposed a project to develop in silico models of toxicity titled "Predictive Models for Acute Oral Systemic Toxicity". The goal was to predict five specific endpoints needed by regulatory agencies: “Very toxic” chemicals (LD50 less than 50 mg/kg) “Nontoxic” chemicals (LD50 greater than or equal to 2000 mg/kg) Point estimates for rodent LD50s Categorization of toxicity hazard using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) codes Categorization of toxicity hazard using the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling (GHS) codes In collaboration with EPA's National Center for Computational Toxicology (NCCT), they provided training and validation datasets for a sizeable body of oral acute toxicity data from rat models. We did not participate directly in this shared task, but used the published datasets for a proof of concept to determine the accuracy of a semantic knowledge-based classifier. We focused our efforts on the categorical classification tasks (all endpoints but the LD50 point estimations).

description: We study a stochastic process describing the continuous time evolution of the membrane potentials of finite system of neurons in the absence of external stimuli. The values of the membrane potentials evolve under the effect of {\it chemical synapses}, {\it electrical synapses} and a \textit{leak current}. The evolution of the process can be informally described as follows. Each neuron spikes randomly following a point process with rate depending on its membrane potential. When a neuron spikes, its membrane potential is immediately reset to a resting value. Simultaneously, the membrane potential of the neurons which are influenced by it receive an additional positive value. Furthermore, between consecutive spikes, the system follows a deterministic motion due both to electrical synapses and the leak current. Electrical synapses push the system towards its average potential, while the leak current attracts the membrane potential of each neuron to the resting value. We show that in the absence leakage the process converges exponentially fast to an unique invariant measure, whenever the initial configuration is non null. More interesting, when leakage is present, we proved the system stops spiking after a finite amount of time almost surely. This implies that the unique invariant measure is supported only by the null configuration.

description: Machine learning techniques offer a precious tool box for use within astronomy to solve problems involving so-called big data. They provide a means to make accurate predictions about a particular system without prior knowledge of the underlying physical processes of the data. In this article, and the companion papers of this series, we present the set of Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) as a fast alternative method for tackling general astronomical problems, including the ones related to the machine learning paradigm. To demonstrate the applicability of GLMs to inherently positive and continuous physical observables, we explore their use in estimating the photometric redshifts of galaxies from their multi-wavelength photometry. Using the gamma family with a log link function we predict redshifts from the PHoto-z Accuracy Testing simulated catalogue and a subset of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey from Data Release 10. We obtain fits that result in catastrophic outlier rates as low as ~1% for simulated and ~2% for real data. Moreover, we can easily obtain such levels of precision within a matter of seconds on a normal desktop computer and with training sets that contain merely thousands of galaxies. Our software is made publicly available as an user-friendly package developed in Python, R and via an interactive web application (https://cosmostatisticsinitiative.shinyapps.io/CosmoPhotoz). This software allows users to apply a set of GLMs to their own photometric catalogues and generates publication quality plots with minimum effort from the user. By facilitating their ease of use to the astronomical community, this paper series aims to make GLMs widely known and to encourage their implementation in future large-scale projects, such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope.

The results show that the Majorana phases are equal to zero and the Dirac phase ($\de$) is predicted to either $0$ or $π$, i. e, there is no CP violation in the Zee-Babu model at the two loop level. The effective mass governing neutrinoless double beta decay and the sum of neutrino masses are consistent with the recent analysis.

Does Bohm's Quantum Force Have a Classical Origin?

description: In the de Broglie - Bohm formulation of quantum mechanics, the electron is stationary in the ground state of the hydrogen atom, because the quantum force exactly cancels the Coulomb attraction of the electron to the proton. In this paper it is shown that classical electrodynamics similarly predicts the Coulomb force can be effectively canceled by part of the magnetic force that occurs between two similar particles each consisting of a point charge moving with circulatory motion at the speed of light. Supposition of such motion is the basis of the {\em Zitterbewegung} interpretation of quantum mechanics. The magnetic force between two luminally-circulating charges for separation large compared to their circulatory motions contains a radial inverse square law part with magnitude equal to the Coulomb force, sinusoidally modulated by the phase difference between the circulatory motions. When the particles have equal mass and their circulatory motions are aligned but out of phase, part of the magnetic force is equal but opposite the Coulomb force. This raises a possibility that the quantum force of Bohmian mechanics may be attributable to the magnetic force of classical electrodynamics. It is further shown that non-relativistic relative motion between the particles leads to modulation of the magnetic force with spatial period equal to the de Broglie wavelength.

description: The description of algebraic structure of n-fold loop spaces can be done either using the formalism of topological operads, or using variations of Segal's $Γ$-spaces. The formalism of topological operads generalises well to different categories yielding such notions as $\mathbb E_n$-algebras in chain complexes, while the $Γ$-space approach faces difficulties. In this paper we discuss how, by attempting to extend the Segal approach to arbitrary categoires, one arrives to the problem of understanding "weak" sections of a homotopical Grothendieck fibration. We propose a model for such sections, called derived sections, and study the behaviour of homotopical categories of derived sections under the base change functors. The technology developed for the base-change situation is then applied to a specific class of "resolution" base functors, which are inspired by cellular decompositions of classifying spaces. For resolutions, we prove that the inverse image functor on derived sections is homotopically full and faithful.

description: The study of ground state energies of local Hamiltonians has played a fundamental role in quantum complexity theory. In this paper, we take a new direction by introducing the physically motivated notion of "ground state connectivity" of local Hamiltonians, which captures problems in areas ranging from quantum stabilizer codes to quantum memories. Roughly, "ground state connectivity" corresponds to the natural question: Given two ground states |ψ> and |ϕ> of a local Hamiltonian H, is there an "energy barrier" (with respect to H) along any sequence of local operations mapping |ψ> to |ϕ>? We show that the complexity of this question can range from QCMA-complete to PSPACE-complete, as well as NEXP-complete for an appropriately defined "succinct" version of the problem. As a result, we obtain a natural QCMA-complete problem, a goal which has generally proven difficult since the conception of QCMA over a decade ago. Our proofs rely on a new technical tool, the Traversal Lemma, which analyzes the Hilbert space a local unitary evolution must traverse under certain conditions. We show that this lemma is essentially tight with respect to the length of the unitary evolution in question.

description: We calculate the one-loop effective potential of a scalar field in a Robertson-Walker background with scalar metric perturbations. A complete set of orthonormal solutions of the perturbed equations is obtained by using the adiabatic approximation for comoving observers. After analyzing the problem of renormalization in inhomogeneous backgrounds, we get the explicit contribution of metric perturbations to the effective potential. We apply these results to the Standard Model Higgs field and evaluate the effects of metric perturbations on the Higgs mass and on its vacuum expectation value. Space-time variations are found, which are proportional to the gravitational slip parameter, with a typical amplitude of the order of $Δϕ/ϕ\simeq 10^{-11}$ on cosmological scales. We also discuss possible astrophysical signatures in the Solar System and in the Milky Way that could open new possibilities to explore the symmetry breaking sector of the electroweak interactions.

title: Regret-minimization algorithms for multi-agent cooperative learning systems

Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

description: A Multi-Agent Cooperative Learning (MACL) system is an artificial intelligence (AI) system where multiple learning agents work together to complete a common task. Recent empirical success of MACL systems in various domains (e.g. traffic control, cloud computing, robotics) has sparked active research into the design and analysis of MACL systems for sequential decision making problems. One important metric of the learning algorithm for decision making problems is its regret, i.e. the difference between the highest achievable reward and the actual reward that the algorithm gains. The design and development of a MACL system with low-regret learning algorithms can create huge economic values. In this thesis, I analyze MACL systems for different sequential decision making problems. Concretely, the Chapter 3 and 4 investigate the cooperative multiagent multi-armed bandit problems, with full-information or bandit feedback, in which multiple learning agents can exchange their information through a communication network and the agents can only observe the rewards of the actions they choose. Chapter 5 considers the communication-regret trade-off for online convex optimization in the distributed setting. Chapter 6 discusses how to form high-productive teams for agents based on their unknown but fixed types using adaptive incremental matchings. For the above problems, I present the regret lower bounds for feasible learning algorithms and provide the efficient algorithms to achieve this bound. The regret bounds I present in Chapter 3, 4 and 5 quantify how the regret depends on the connectivity of the communication network and the communication delay, thus giving useful guidance on design of the communication protocol in MACL systems.

description: Additional file 2. Appendix 2: Full results. This appendix shows the results of the statistical analyses to measure the effect of the messages on policy support and willingness to engage, regardless of whether statistical significance was reached. Experiment 1 was analyzed using a linear regression with, as the dependent variable, the change between the baseline responses and the responses after the first experiment. Experiment 2 was analyzed using a linear mixed effect model with a random effect for experiment 1 and a fixed effect for experiment 2. Experiment 3 was examined using a linear mixed effect model comparing the control and the intervention groups, with random effects for experiments 1 and 2. The different measures of engagement are combined into the engagement score.

description: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, continues to pose a significant global health burden despite advances in diagnosis and treatment. This review examines the taxonomic classification, evolutionary history, and genetic diversity within the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). Special attention is devoted to the distinctive architecture of the cell envelope, consisting of peptidoglycan, arabinogalactan, mycolic acids, and various free lipids, which contribute to the pathogen's pathogenesis, virulence, intracellular survival, persistence, and resistance to antibiotics. Furthermore, it discusses emerging insights into the metabolic pathways that support Mtb’s adaptation to hostile host environments and highlights current and potential therapeutic strategies targeting the cell envelope. This review elucidates the interplay between MTB genes and biochemistry, emphasizes the need for integrated strategies in TB drug development, and advocates for continued research into targeting the cell envelope to overcome drug-sensitive and drug-resistant tuberculosis.

description: The cubic antifluorite structure comprises a face-centered cubic sublattice of anions with cations on the tetrahedral sites. The voids in the antifluorite structure that are crucial for superionicity in Li2O might also act as atomic traps. Trapping of guest atoms and small molecules within voids of a host structure leads to the formation of what are known as clathrate compounds. Here we investigate the possibility of trapping helium or larger neon guest atoms under pressure within alkali metal oxide and sulfide structures. We find stable helium and neon-bearing compounds at very low pressures. These structures are stabilized by a reduction in volume from incorporation of helium or neon atoms within the antifluorite structure. We predict that NeCs2S could be stable at ambient pressure. Our study suggests a novel class of alkali oxide and sulfide materials incorporating noble gas atoms that might potentially be useful for gas storage.
