A two-way regularization method for MEG source reconstruction

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: The MEG inverse problem refers to the reconstruction of the neural activity of the brain from magnetoencephalography (MEG) measurements. We propose a two-way regularization (TWR) method to solve the MEG inverse problem under the assumptions that only a small number of locations in space are responsible for the measured signals (focality), and each source time course is smooth in time (smoothness). The focality and smoothness of the reconstructed signals are ensured respectively by imposing a sparsity-inducing penalty and a roughness penalty in the data fitting criterion. A two-stage algorithm is developed for fast computation, where a raw estimate of the source time course is obtained in the first stage and then refined in the second stage by the two-way regularization. The proposed method is shown to be effective on both synthetic and real-world examples.

name: Shen, Haipeng
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Accurate forecasting of zero coupon bond yields for a continuum of maturities is paramount to bond portfolio management and derivative security pricing. Yet a universal model for yield curve forecasting has been elusive, and prior attempts often resulted in a trade-off between goodness of fit and consistency with economic theory. To address this, herein we propose a novel formulation which connects the dynamic factor model (DFM) framework with concepts from functional data analysis: a DFM with functional factor loading

description: Purpose and / or objectives of the paper: This paper aims to conduct a comparative study dedicated to the dissemination and adaptation of decarbonization solutions in the industrial sector in other economic areas with significant impact on the environment, such as the tourism industry. The sustainability goals and objectives promoted at international and European level cannot be
 achieved without a comprehensive technological and economic effort aimed at reducing the carbon footprint, as well as achieving other important goals of environmental protection. Method / methodology used: The presentation is structured on three important chapters: review of identified solutions in the field of industrial production for low carbon generation, use of an algorithm based on techniques and managerial tools for decision support
 (Quality Function Deployment and Balanced Scorecard) for the development and adaptation of the experiences studied in the field of tourism and their personalization for an easier implementation. Results: Following the proposed approach, the authors generate a list of measures needed for decarbonization, at the level of tourism products / services, of organizations active in the field and at the level of government support policies, accompanied by an assessment of their feasibility. Conclusions: The article ends with a discussion on the degree of urgency and the chances of success of these transformations in the Romanian economy.
Tree level amplitudes from soft theorems

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We demonstrate that the tree level amplitudes and the explicit formulas of soft factors can be uniquely determined by soft theorems and the universality of soft factors. By imposing the soft theorems and the universality, as well as the assumption of double copy, we reconstruct single trace Yang-Millsscalar amplitudes and pure Yang-Mills amplitudes, in the expanded formulas. The explicit formulas of soft factors for the bi-adjoint scalar and gluon are also determined. The expansions of Yang-Mills-scalar and Yang-Mills amplitudes can be extended to Einstein-Yang-Mills and gravitational amplitudes, and we use the expanded single trace Einstein-Yang-Mills amplitudes to reproduce the soft factors for the graviton.

Robust regularized singular value decomposition with application to mortality data
Creators: name: Shen, Haipeng
name: Huang, Jianhua Z.
name: Zhang, Lingsong
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: We develop a robust regularized singular value decomposition (RobRSVD) method for analyzing two-way functional data. The research is motivated by the application of modeling human mortality as a smooth two-way function of age group and year. The RobRSVD is formulated as a penalized loss minimization problem where a robust loss function is used to measure the reconstruction error of a low-rank matrix approximation of the data, and an appropriately defined two-way roughness penalty function is used to ensure smoothness along each of the two functional domains. By viewing the minimization problem as two conditional regularized robust regressions, we develop a fast iterative reweighted least squares algorithm to implement the method. Our implementation naturally incorporates missing values. Furthermore, our formulation allows rigorous derivation of leave-one-row/column-out cross-validation and generalized cross-validation criteria, which enable computationally efficient data-driven penalty parameter selection. The advantages of the new robust method over nonrobust ones are shown via extensive simulation studies and the mortality rate application.

description: A common and important problem arising in the study of networks is how to divide the vertices of a given network into one or more groups, called communities, in such a way that vertices of the same community are more interconnected than vertices belonging to different ones. We propose and investigate a testing based community detection procedure called Extraction of Statistically Significant Communities (ESSC). The ESSC procedure is based on $p$-values for the strength of connection between a single vertex and a set of vertices under a reference distribution derived from a conditional configuration network model. The procedure automatically selects both the number of communities in the network and their size. Moreover, ESSC can handle overlapping communities and, unlike the majority of existing methods, identifies “background” vertices that do not belong to a well-defined community. The method has only one parameter, which controls the stringency of the hypothesis tests. We investigate the performance and potential use of ESSC and compare it with a number of existing methods, through a validation study using four real network data sets. In addition, we carry out a simulation study to assess the effectiveness of ESSC in networks with various types of community structure, including networks with overlapping communities and those with background vertices. These results suggest that ESSC is an effective exploratory tool for the discovery of relevant community structure in complex network systems.

description: Principal Components Analysis (PCA) is a common way to study the sources of variation in a high-dimensional data set. Typically, the leading principal components are used to understand the variation in the data or to reduce the dimension of the data for subsequent analysis. The remaining principal components are ignored since they explain little of the variation in the data. However, evolutionary biologists gain important insights from these low variation directions. Specifically, they are interested in directions of low genetic variability that are biologically interpretable. These directions are called
“Virus hunting” using radial distance weighted discrimination

description: Motivated by the challenge of using DNA-seq data to identify viruses in human blood samples, we propose a novel classification algorithm called "Radial Distance Weighted Discrimination" (or Radial DWD). This classifier is designed for binary classification, assuming one class is surrounded by the other class in very diverse radial directions, which is seen to be typical for our virus detection data. This separation of the 2 classes in multiple radial directions naturally motivates the development of Radial DWD. While classical machine learning methods such as the Support Vector Machine and linear Distance Weighted Discrimination can sometimes give reasonable answers for a given data set, their generalizability is severely compromised because of the linear separating boundary. Radial DWD addresses this challenge by using a more appropriate (in this particular case) spherical separating boundary. Simulations show that for appropriate radial contexts, this gives much better generalizability than linear methods, and also much better than conventional kernel based (nonlinear) Support Vector Machines, because the latter methods essentially use much of the information in the data for determining the shape of the separating boundary. The effectiveness of Radial DWD is demonstrated for real virus detection.

title: Design and Test of a radiation tolerant FPGA system for the use in a particle accelerator experiment at CERN

Publisher: name: Hochschulbibliothek der Technischen Hochschule Köln
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: 004 Informatik

description: This project was done in collaboration with CERN and is part of the detector control system of the ATLAS experiment. The primary goal foresaw the development and testing of the FPGA card for the MOPS-HUB crate with the focus on radiation tolerance. This was accomplished with the approach of designing two different PCBs. The first PCB was created as a fast prototype with the use of a commercial SOM-board. This was also beneficial for confirming that the chosen FPGA is suitable for the MOPS-HUB application. After the successful assembly and test, a second, more complex and foremost radiation tolerant PCB was designed. This was achieved by solely using components of the CERN radiation database. The second part of this thesis focuses on increasing the distance of TMR registers with a Python script. A method was created for extracting and later parsing a design’s placement information from Vivado. Furthermore, were system designed and implemented to recognize TMR cells, to find and validate free cells and to finally create a new placement for import into Vivado. These algorithms were tested with a multitude of configurations and the quality, based on the maximum possible frequency of a design, determined.
description: Dieses Projekt wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit CERN durchgeführt und ist Teil vom Detector Control System des ATLAS Experiments. Das Hauptziel war es die FPGA Karte für das MOPS-HUB System zu erstellen und dabei die besondere Vorraussetzung der Strahlenresistenz zu erfüllen. Dies wurde mit dem Ansatz erreicht, zwei verschiedene Leiterplatten zu entwerfen. Die erste Leiterplatte wurde als schneller Prototyp unter Verwendung eines kommerziellen SOM-Boards erstellt. Dies war auch von Vorteil, um zu bestätigen, dass der gewählte FPGA überhaupt für die MOPS-HUB Anwendung geeignet ist. Nach erfolgreicher Bestückung und Prüfung dieser Platine wurde eine zweite, komplexere und vor allem strahlungstolerante Leiterplatte entworfen. Dies wurde erreicht, indem ausschließlich Komponenten der CERN-Strahlungsdatenbank verwendet wurden. Der zweite Teil dieser Arbeit konzentriert sich auf die Vergrößerung des Abstands von triplizieren Registern mit einem Python-Skript. Dies wurde durch die Entwicklung einer Methode zum Extrahieren der Platzierungsinformationen eines Designs aus Vivado erreicht. Darüber hinaus wurden Methoden entwickelt und implementiert, um triplizierte Zellen zu erkennen, freie Zellen zu finden und zu validieren und schließlich eine neue Platzierung für den Import in Vivado zu erstellen. Diese Algorithmen wurden getestet und die Qualität, bezüglich der maximal möglichen Frequenz eines Designs, analysiert.
Low-Luminosity Early-Type Galaxies in the Coma Cluster: Variations in Spectral Properties

description: We present spectra of nine low-luminosity early-type galaxies (MB > -17.5) in the Coma Cluster. The spectra, which were obtained with the Multiple Mirror Telescope and cover the spectral region 3300–5350 Å, exhibit a large variation in Balmer line strengths. In fact, the line-strength variation among the Coma low-luminosity galaxies is as large as that found among a sample of low-luminosity elliptical galaxies in the Virgo Cluster and lower density environments. When compared with detailed population synthesis models, the variation in Balmer line strengths among the Coma galaxies indicates a range in luminosity-weighted mean age from ~1 to ~12 Gyr. The two youngest galaxies are shown to be in a poststarburst state, i.e., they are not simply former spirals whose star formation was recently terminated. Moreover, the ~1 Gyr ages of these two youngest low-luminosity galaxies are similar to those of the brighter poststarburst galaxies in the Coma Cluster.

description: Outbreaks are complex multi-scale processes that are impacted not only by cellular dynamics and the ability of pathogens to effectively reproduce and spread, but also by population-level dynamics and the effectiveness of mitigation measures. A timely exchange of information related to the spread of novel pathogens, stay-at-home orders, and other containment measures can be effective at containing an infectious disease, particularly during in the early stages when testing infrastructure, vaccines, and other medical interventions may not be available at scale. Using a multiplex epidemic model that consists of an information layer (modeling information exchange between individuals) and a spatially embedded epidemic layer (representing a human contact network), we study how random and targeted disruptions in the information layer (\eg, errors and intentional attacks on communication infrastructure) impact outbreak dynamics. We calibrate our model to the early outbreak stages of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in 2020. Mitigation campaign can still be effective under random disruptions, such as failure of information channels between a few individuals. However, targeted disruptions or sabotage of hub nodes that exchange information with a large number of individuals can abruptly change outbreak characteristics such as the time to reach the peak infection. Our results emphasize the importance of using a robust communication infrastructure that can withstand both random and targeted disruptions.

description: HST WFPC2 images in B (F450W) and I (F814W) have been obtained for three starburst (SB) and two post-starburst (PSB) galaxies in the Coma cluster, and for three such galaxies in the cluster DC2048-52. V (F555W) and I images for an additional PSB galaxy in Coma have been extracted from the archive. Seven of these galaxies were previously classified as E/S0 on the basis of ground-based images, one as Sa, and the other as an irregular. The HST images reveal these SB/PSB galaxies to be heterogeneous in morphology. Nevertheless a common theme is that many of them, especially the SB galaxies, tend to have centralized spiral structure that appears simply as a bright ``bulge''on ground-based images. In addition, while some PSB galaxies exhibit distinct spiral structure, on the whole they have smoother morphologies than the SB galaxies. The morphologies and luminosity profiles are generally consistent with substantial starbursts in the form of centralized spiral structure (the SB galaxies) which fade into smoother morphologies (the PSB galaxies), with lingering spectroscopic evidence for past central starbursts. An important point is that the PSB galaxies retain disks, i.e, they have not evolved into spheroidal systems.

description: We present electronic transport and magnetic properties of single crystals of semimetallic half-Heusler phase LuPdBi, having theoretically predicted band inversion requisite for nontrivial topological properties. The compound exhibits superconductivity below a critical temperature $T_{\rm c}=1.8\,$K, with a zero-temperature upper critical field $B_{\rm c2}\approx2.3\,$T. Although superconducting state is clearly reflected in the electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility data, no corresponding anomaly can be seen in the specific heat. Temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity suggests existence of two parallel conduction channels: metallic and semiconducting, with the latter making negligible contribution at low temperatures. The magnetoresistance is huge and clearly shows a weak antilocalization effect in small magnetic fields. Above about 1.5 T, the magnetoresistance becomes linear and does not saturate in fields up to 9 T. The linear magnetoresistance is observed up to room temperature. Below 10 K, it is accompanied by Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations. Their analysis reveals charge carriers with effective mass of $0.06\,m_e$ and a Berry phase very close to $π$, expected for Dirac-fermion surface states, thus corroborating topological nature of the material.

description: The neutrino mass hierarchy, i.e., whether the $ν_3$ neutrino mass eigenstate is heavier or lighter than the $ν_1$ and $ν_2$ mass eigenstates, is one of the remaining undetermined fundamental features of the neutrino Standard Model. Its determination would represent an important step in the formulation of the generalized model, and would have a profound impact on the quest of the nature of neutrinos (Dirac or Majorana) and the search for a theory of flavor. In this review, we summarize the status of experimental and theoretical work in this field and explore the future opportunities that emerge in light of the recently discovered non-zero and relatively large third neutrino mixing angle $θ_{13}$.

description: Galaxies in rich clusters with z 0.3 are observed to have a higher fraction of photometrically blue galaxies than their nearby counterparts. This raises the important question of what environmental effects can cause the termination of star formation between z ≈ 0.3 and the present. The star formation may be truncated because of ram pressure stripping, or the gas in the disk may be depleted by an episode of star formation caused by some external perturbation. To help resolve this issue, surface photometry was carried out for a total of 70 early-type galaxies in the cluster Cl 1358+62, at z ~ 0.33, using two-color images from the Hubble archive. The galaxies were divided into two categories based on spectroscopic criteria: 24 are type K + A (e.g., strong Balmer lines, with no visible emission lines), while the remaining 46 are in the control sample, with normal spectra. Radial color profiles were produced to see whether the K + A galaxies show bluer nuclei in relation to their surrounding disks. Specifically, a linear gradient was fitted to the radial color profile of each galaxy. We find that the K + A galaxies on average tend to have slightly bluer gradients toward the center than the normal galaxies. A Kolmogorov-Smirnov two-sample test has been applied to the two sets of color gradients. The result of the test indicates that there is only a ~2% probability that the K + A and normal samples are drawn from the same parent distribution. There is a possible complication from a trend in the apparent magnitude-versus-color gradient relation, but overall our results favor the centralized star formation scenario as an important process in the evolution of galaxies in dense clusters.

description: This paper uses an empirical analysis of a water conflict in the German state of Brandenburg to explore diverse constructions of vulnerability to water scarcity by local stakeholders. It demonstrates how, in the absence of effective formal institutions, these constructions are getting translated into conflictual resilience strategies practiced by these stakeholders, creating situations in which “your resilience is my vulnerability”. The novel contribution of the paper to resilience research is threefold. Firstly, it illustrates how the vulnerability and resilience of a socio-ecological system—such as small catchment—are socially constructed; that is, how they are not given but rather the product of stakeholders’ perceptions of threats and suitable responses to them. Secondly, the paper emphasizes the role of institutions—both formal and informal—in framing these vulnerability constructions and resilience strategies. Particular attention is paid to the importance of informal ‘rules in use’ emerging in the wake of (formal) ‘institutional voids’ and how they work against collective solutions. Thirdly, by choosing a small-scale, commonplace dispute to study vulnerability and resilience, the paper seeks to redress the imbalance of resilience research (and policy) on dramatic disaster events by revealing the relevance of everyday vulnerabilities, which may be less eye-catching but are far more widespread.

From the long-slit spectra, obtained with the Blanco 4-m telescope, we find that emission lines in the star-forming cluster galaxies are significantly more centrally concentrated than in a sample of field galaxies. The broadband imaging reveals that two currently star-forming early-type galaxies in the Pegasus I cluster have blue nuclei, again indicating that recent star formation has been concentrated. In contrast, the two galaxies for which star formation has already ended show no central color gradient. The Pegasus I galaxy with the most evident signs of ongoing star formation (NGC7648), exhibits signatures of a tidal encounter. Neutral hydrogen observations of that galaxy with the Arecibo radiotelescope reveal the presence of ~4 x 10^8 solar masses of HI. Arecibo observations of other current or recent star-forming early-type galaxies in Pegasus I indicate smaller amounts of gas in one of them, and only upper limits in others.

description: We present a chemical abundance study of three inner old halo clusters NGC 6287, NGC 6293, and NGC 6541, finding [Fe/H] = -2.01 +/- 0.05, -1.99 +/- 0.02, and -1.76 +/- 0.02, respectively, and our metallicity measurements are in good agreement with previous estimates. The mean alpha-element abundances of our program clusters are in good agreement with other globular clusters, confirming previous results. However, the individual alpha-elements appear to follow different trends. The silicon abundances of the inner halo clusters appear to be enhanced and the titanium abundances appear to be depleted compared to the intermediate halo clusters. Our results also appear to oppose to those of metal-rich bulge giants studied by McWilliam and Rich, who found that bulge giants are titanium enhanced and silicon deficient. In particular, [Si/Ti] ratios appear to be related to Galactocentric distances,in the sense that [Si/Ti] ratios decrease with Galactocentric distance. We propose that contributions from different masses of the SNe II progenitors that enriched proto-globular cluster clouds' elemental abundances and the different initial physical environments surrounding the proto-globular clusters clouds are responsible for this gradient in [Si/Ti] ratios versus Galactocentric distances of the "old halo" globular clusters. On the other hand, our program clusters' enhanced s-process elemental abundances suggest that the formation timescale of our program clusters might be as short as a few times 10^8 yr after the star formation is initiated in the Galaxy's central regions, if the s-process site is intermediate mass AGB stars.

description: Multifiber spectroscopy has been obtained for 335 galaxies in the field of the double cluster A3128/A3125, using the 2dF multifiber positioner on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. When combined with previously published results, a total of 532 objects in the double cluster now have known redshifts. We have also obtained a 20 ks Chandra ACIS-I image of the central 16' × 16' of A3128 and radio imaging of the cluster with the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope and the Australia Telescope Compact Array. The spatial/kinematic distribution of redshifts in the field of A3128/A3125, when combined with the Chandra ACIS-I image of A3128, reveals a variety of substructures present in the galaxy distribution and in the hot intracluster medium (ICM). The most striking large-scale feature in the galaxy distribution is a relatively underpopulated redshift zone ~4000 km s-1 on either side of the mean cluster velocity at ~17,500 km s-1. We attribute this depletion zone to the effect of the extensive Horologium-Reticulum (H-R) supercluster, within which A3128/A3125 is embedded. In addition to this large-scale feature, numerous smaller groups of galaxies can be identified, particularly within the underpopulated region within ±4000 km s-1 of the mean cluster redshift. Because of the large gravitational influence of the H-R supercluster, these groups arrive at A3128 with a high infall velocity, well in excess of the local sound speed. Two of these groups appear as elongated filaments in position-velocity diagrams, indicating that they are tidally distended groups that have been disrupted after a close passage through A3128. In fact, A3125 itself appears to be in such a postpassage condition. We have identified a primary northeast-southwest merger axis connecting A3128 with A3125, along which the filaments are also oriented. In addition, the Chandra image reveals that the X-ray emission is split into two components, each with very small core radii, that are separated by ~1 Mpc along the northeast-southwest axis. We have combined the redshift, X-ray, and radio data to propose that the complex X-ray morphology revealed in the Chandra image is likely the result of a hypersonic infall of a relatively small group into A3128. The group produces a major disruption in the ICM as a result of its high infall velocity.

Near-Infrared Photometry of the Globular Cluster Palomar 6
Creators: name: Carney, Bruce W.

description: We present JHK photometry of Palomar 6. Our photometric measurements range from the red giant branch (RGB) tip to ≈2 mag below the red horizontal branch (RHB), and our color-magnitude diagrams show that Palomar 6 appears to have a well-defined RHB population. The distance modulus and interstellar reddening of the cluster are estimated by comparing the magnitude and color of Palomar 6 RHB stars with those of 47 Tuc. We obtain (m - M)0 = 14.28 mag and E(B-V) = 1.30 mag for the cluster, and our study suggests that Palomar 6 is clearly located in the Galaxy's central regions. We also discuss the metallicity of the cluster using the slope of the RGB. We obtain [Fe/H] ≈ -1.2 for Palomar 6 and our metallicity estimate is ≈0.5–1.0 dex lower than previous estimates by others.

description: We report the results from a pilot study of 10 nearby starburst and active galaxies conducted with the Taurus Tunable Filter (TTF) on the Anglo-Australian and William Herschel Telescopes. The main purpose of this imaging survey is to search for warm emission-line gas on the outskirts (galactocentric distances R > 10 kpc) of galaxies to provide direct constraints on the size and geometry of the ``zone of influence'' of these galaxies on their environment. Gaseous complexes or filaments larger than ~ 20 kpc are discovered or confirmed in six of the galaxies in the sample (NGC 1068, NGC 1482, NGC 4388, NGC 6240, NGC 7213, and MR 2251-178). Slightly smaller structures are seen for the first time in the ionization cones and galactic winds of NGC 1365, NGC 1705, Circinus galaxy, and ESO484-G036. The TTF data are combined with new optical long-slit spectra as well as published and archived radio and X-ray maps to constrain the origin and source of ionization of these filaments. A broad range of phenomena is observed, including large-scale ionization cones and galactic winds, tidal interaction, and ram-pressure stripping by an intracluster medium. The source of ionization in this gas ranges from shock ionization to photoionization by the central AGN or in-situ hot young stars. The sample is too small to draw statistically meaningful conclusions about the extent and properties of the warm ionized medium on large scale and its relevance to galaxy formation and evolution. The next generation of tunable filters on large telescopes promises to improve the sensitivity to faint emission-line fluxes at least tenfold and allow systematic surveys of a large sample of emission-line galaxies.
Star Formation Histories of Early-Type Galaxies. I. Higher Order Balmer Lines as Age Indicators

description: We have obtained blue integrated spectra of 175 nearby early-type galaxies, covering a wide range in galaxy velocity dispersion and emphasizing those with σ < 100 km s-1. Galaxies have been observed both in the Virgo Cluster and in lower density environments. The main goals are the evaluation of higher order Balmer lines as age indicators and differences in stellar populations as a function of mass, environment, and morphology. In this first paper, our emphasis is on presenting the methods used to characterize the behavior of the Balmer lines through evolutionary population synthesis models. Lower σ galaxies exhibit a substantially greater intrinsic scatter, in a variety of line-strength indicators, than do higher σ galaxies, with the large intrinsic scatter setting in below a σ of 100 km s-1. Moreover, a greater contrast in scatter is present in the Balmer lines than in the lines of metal features. Evolutionary synthesis modeling of the observed spectral indexes indicates that the strong Balmer lines found primarily among the low-σ galaxies are caused by young age, rather than by low metallicity. Thus we find a trend between the population age and the central velocity dispersion, such that low-σ galaxies have younger luminosity-weighted mean ages. We have repeated this analysis using several different Balmer lines and find consistent results from one spectral indicator to another.
