Targeted metabolomics profiles of ischemic stroke from two ethnic groups with different risk factors
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Background— In the US, African Americans (AA) have a higher ischemic stroke and mortality rate thanCaucasians. Recent evidence suggests that the onset of an ischemic stroke may be related to circulating metabolitealterations, contributing to racial disparities in ischemic stroke. The objective of this study was to determine whetherthe metabolomic profile of African American ischemic stroke patients differs from that of Caucasian ischemic strokepatients.Methods— Metabolomic profiling of serum samples of 36 ischemic stroke (IS) patients (AA and Caucasian)was carried out using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (UHPLC/MS) to measure1062 known metabolites. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to differentiate global metabolite profilesfor AA and Caucasian patients. A student T-test was used to compare scaled metabolite values between these twogroups. One-way ANOVA identified differences in identified metabolites among the African American Ischemicstroke patients, Caucasian ischemic patients and control groups.Results— A total of 13 metabolite levels were significantly different between the ischemic stroke and control groupfor African Americans, while 86 metabolite levels were significantly different between the ischemic stroke patientsand control group including 36 being amino acids and 26 lipids. Of these, imidazoleacetic acid, N-acetylcysteine andalpha-hydroxyisocaproate were significantly elevated in African American and Caucasian patients as compared tocontrols. There was a statistically significant difference between African American and Caucasian ischemic strokepatients [(F (2,26) = 7.101, p = 0.003)] for IAA. The level was highest in the control group (1.20 ± 0.41) comparedto the African American ischemic stroke patients (0.73 ± 0.38, p = 0.017) and lowest for Caucasian ischemic strokepatients (0.67 ± 0.15, p = 0.010). Alpha-hydroxyisocaproate levels were significantly different between [(F (2,26)= 7.193, p = 0.003)], and was highest for Caucasian IS patients (1.68 ± 0.89, p = 0.003), when compared withthe control group (0.83 ± 0.28, p=0.05) and African American ischemic stroke patients (1.31 ± 0.3, p = 0.096). Inaddition, N-acetylcysteine levels were significant [(F (2,26) = 7.865, p = 0.002)], and were highest for the controlgroup (1.30 ± 0.50, p=0.004) compared to the African American (0.69 ± 0.26, p = 0.007) and the Caucasian ischemicstroke patients (0.69 ± 0.35, p = 0.011).

Conclusions— Metabolomic profiles including imidazoleacetic acid, N-acetylcysteine and alpha-hydroxyisocaproate significantly differed between African Americans and Caucasians ischemic stroke patients.

These race-associated alterations may contribute to racial disparities in the risk of ischemic stroke.
BPS Wilson loops in N=4 SYM: Examples on hyperbolic submanifolds of space-time

description: In this paper we present a family of supersymmetric Wilson loops of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in Minkowski space. Our examples focus on curves restricted to hyperbolic submanifolds, H_3 and H_2, of space-time. Generically they preserve two supercharges, but in special cases more, including a case which has not been discussed before, of the hyperbolic line, conformal to the straight line and circle, which is half-BPS. We discuss some general properties of these Wilson loops and their string duals and study special examples in more detail. Generically the string duals propagate on a complexification of AdS_5 x S^5 and in some specific examples the compact sphere is effectively replaced by a de-Sitter space.

description: In this paper, we study the option pricing problems for rough volatility models. As the framework is non-Markovian, the value function for a European option is not deterministic; rather, it is random and satisfies a backward stochastic partial differential equation (BSPDE). The existence and uniqueness of weak solutions is proved for general nonlinear BSPDEs with unbounded random leading coefficients whose connections with certain forward-backward stochastic differential equations are derived as well. These BSPDEs are then used to approximate American option prices. A deep learning-based method is also investigated for the numerical approximations to such BSPDEs and associated non-Markovian pricing problems. Finally, the examples of rough Bergomi type are numerically computed for both European and American options.

Stochastic Nonlinear Model Predictive Control with Guaranteed Error Bounds Using Compactly Supported Wavelets
Creators: name: Hekler, Achim

name: Hanebeck, Uwe D.
Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2011

description: In model predictive control, a high quality of control can only be achieved, if the model of the system reflects the real-world process as precisely as possible. Therefore, the controller should be capable of both handling a nonlinear system description and systematically incorporating uncertainties affecting the system. Since stochastic nonlinear model predictive control (SNMPC) problems in general cannot be solved in closed form, either the system model or the occurring densities have to be approximated. In this paper, we present an SNMPC framework, which approximates the densities and the reward function by their wavelet expansions. Due to the few requirements on the shape and family of the densities or reward function, the presented technique can be applied to a large class of SNMPC problems. For accelerating the optimization, we additionally present a novel thresholding technique, the so-called dynamic thresholding, which neglects coefficients that are insignificant, while at the same time guaranteeing that the optimal control input is still chosen. The capabilities of the proposed approach are demonstrated by simulations with a path planning scenario.

description: Similarity searches in contemporary applications such as bioinformatics, biometrics and E-commerce are becoming increasingly prevalent. Data in these applications often involve domains with non-ordered discrete values such as genomic nucleotide bases, gender and profession. Existing multidimensional index trees (e.g., the R*-tree and the K-D-B-tree) for continuous data spaces (CDS) cannot be directly applied to the above non-ordered discrete data space (NDDS) due to lack of essential geometric concepts (e.g., rectangles) in such spaces. An index tree, called the ND-tree, was recently proposed to support efficient similarity searches for NDDSs. However, this earlier work focused on solving the construction and query issues for the ND-tree. The issue for developing an efficient and effective deletion technique for the ND-tree remains open. In this paper, we present three deletion algorithms based on different underflow-handling strategies for the ND-tree in NDDSs. The performance of these deletion algorithms as well as the quality of their produced ND-trees are evaluated and compared. The study shows that a tradeoff between the deletion efficiency and the tree quality needs to be carefully considered when choosing a deletion technique for the ND-tree.
Quantum quenches in the Dicke model: statistics of the work done and of other observables

description: We study the statistics of the work done in a zero temperature quench of the coupling constant in the Dicke model describing the interaction between a gas of two level atoms and a single electromagnetic cavity mode. When either the final or the initial coupling constants approach the critical coupling $λ_c$ that separates the normal and superradiant phases of the system, the probability distribution of the work done displays singular behavior. The average work tends to diverge as the initial coupling parameter is brought closer to the critical value $λ_c$. In contrast, for quenches ending close to criticality, the distribution of work has finite moments but displays a sequence of edge singularities. This contrasting behavior is related to the difference between the processes of compression and expansion of a particle subject to a sudden change of its confining potential. We confirm this by studying in detail the time dependent statistics of other observables, such as the quadratures of the photons and the total occupation of the bosonic modes.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Introduction— Thalamus is supplied by multiple arteries drawn from both anterior and posterior circulations oftenwith vascular variants, therefore thalamic infarcts can present with a broad spectrum of symptoms and signs that canbe challenging both clinically and radiologically.Objectives and Methods— A retrospective observational hospital-based study. Aiming to identify the clinicalprofile, arterial territories involved, vascular variations and outcome of patients admitted with acute isolated thalamicinfractions. The ability of the imaging modalities used to pick up the thalamic infarcts in the acute phase was alsoevaluated.Results— Over a period of 33 months, 1260 acute ischemic stroke cases were admitted. 53 (4.2%) were isolatedthalamic infarctions. Hemiparesis and dysarthria were the most common clinical presentation. 29/53 patientsunderwent head computerized tomography within 24 hours of the symptom onset. The thalamic infract was onlydetected in 5/29 (17.2%) of the scans. Computerized tomographic angiography was used to assess the vasculaturein 49/53 (92%) of patients. Normal posterior circulation was seen in only 17/49 (35%). Bilaterally absent posteriorcommunicating artery 13/49 (26%) was the commonest variant seen. The majority of the lesions 41/53 (77%) werelocalized to the ventrolateral thalamus (thalamogeniculate) artery. There was no mortality, and 40/53 (75%) achieveda modified Rankin Scale of ≤2 upon discharge.Conclusions— Isolated thalamic infarcts represent a broad spectrum of clinical syndromes. In more than 80% ofpatients, a computerized tomography head can be normal in the first 24 hours. Only less than one-third had a normalposterior circulation vasculature. The ventrolateral (thalamogeniculate) thalamus artery was the most commonlyinvolved vascular distribution.
Deviations from a general nonlinear wind balance: Local and zonal-mean perspectives

description: The paper introduces the active wind as the deviation from a general local wind balance, the inactive wind. The inactive wind is directed along intersection lines of Bernoulli function and potential temperature surfaces. In climatological steady state, the inactive mass flux cannot participate in net-mass fluxes, because the mean position of the mentioned intersection lines does not change. A conceptual proximity of the zonal-mean active wind to the residual wind as occurring in the transformed Eulerian mean equations suggests itself. The zonaland time-mean active wind is compared to the residual wind for the Held-Suarez test case. Similarities occur for the meridional components in the zone of Rossby wave breaking in the upper troposphere equatorward of the jet. The vertical components are similar, too. However, the vertical active wind is much stronger in the baroclinic zone. This is due to the missing vertical eddy flux of Ertel's potential vorticity (EPV) in the TEM equations. The largest differences are to be found in the boundary layer, where the active wind exhibits typical pattern of Ekman dynamics. Instantaneous active wind vectors demonstrate mass-inflow for lows and mass-outflow for highs in the boundary layer. An active meridional wind is associated with a filamentation of EPV in the zone of Rossby wave breaking in about 300 hPa. Strong gradients of EPV act as a transport barrier.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Resonance absorption spectra have been observed which may be interpreted as many-quantum transitions where the axis of quantization is along the effective magnetic field in the rotating frame. By this description, resonances which required up to five quanta were observed. The spin system used was that of conduction electrons of lithium metal in neutron irradiated lithium fluoride crystals. An analysis of the experimental results using a modified Bloch equation under the assumption that Ƭ₁= Ƭ₂= Ƭ 1.5x10 ̄⁷sec. and that the spin system relaxes toward the instantaneous field is presented. A brief outline of the concept of spin temperature is included. A comparison is made between some of the predictions of the spin temperature concept and the simple Bloch theory used in analyzing the experimental data.

description: Superfluid condensation can fundamentally be different from that predicted by the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory. In a broad class of low-carrier-density superconductors, such as granular aluminum, doped nitrides, and high-Tc cuprates, tunneling experiments reveal strong rather than weak coupling, as well as a conductance that does not return to that of the normal state upon approaching the critical temperature Tc. Here, we show that this behavior is in quantitative agreement with a tunneling theory that takes into account the large pairing-fluctuation effects that occur in the crossover region from weak-coupling BCS to strong-coupling Bose-Einstein condensation, provided the coherence energy scale rather than the single-particle energy gap is used to evaluate the coupling ratio. We also propose that the tendency toward strong coupling is a generic property of quasi-2D low-carrier-density superconductors.

Attention to distraction : a visual investigation of temporal experience through time-based media
Creators: name: Sawford, RG
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This project has explored the relationship between the moving image and temporal experience. Acknowledging the constructed temporality of narrative cinema, in conjunction with what Peter Osborne has described as distracted perception, I have examined the potential for the moving image to direct attention to the here-and-now. What began as an attempt to provide an antidote to the condition of distraction through contemplative immersion evolved as a reflection on the temporal dialectic of contemporary experience. The project's concern with temporal experience is based on my response to working with narrative forms of the moving image in a commercial context. Drawing on anti-illusionist strategies of the film-artists of the 1960s as well as representational aspects of commercial production has resulted in work that embodies the inherent tension between these conditions of spectatorship, simultaneously heightening and dissolving temporal perception. The visual context for the project is defined by the work of contemporary artists who also deal with the potential for the moving image to both absorb and distance viewers. This has been explored through a selection of specific works by Andy Warhol, David Hockney, Chantal Akerman, Christian Marclay, Douglas Gordon, Tacita Dean, Daniel Crooks and David Claerbout. These works challenge viewing habits and expectation through strategies of duration, re-contextualisation and re-examining the configuration of normative cinema. In developing a theoretical understanding of the relationship between temporal experience and conditions of spectatorship, the project has been informed by Walter Benjamin, Tom Gunning and Sean Cubitt, writing on the relationship between narrative and non-narrative forms of cinema. These concepts have been further developed through Michael Fried's theory of absorption and theatricality and Peter Osborne's writing on attention and distraction. A philosophical understanding of temporal experience has been explored through the existentialist thought of Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. The work developed as a combination of gallery-based and site-specific artworks that include single channel projections, multichannel installation, panoramic photography, live-feed cinema/installation and augmented reality. This broad, experimental approach is the result of exploring the moving image beyond the confines of linear cinematic structures. These diverse outcomes have been refined in the context of the Plimsoll Gallery for the submission exhibition. By developing strategies that examine the relationship between time and the moving image the project has concluded that to offer a contemporary experience of the here-and-now, the work must fluctuate between states of immersion and awareness; between attention and distraction. Here, the inherent tension activated by the intersection of these temporal states directs audience attention toward the potential of a moment.
Superficial Gaussian Mixture Reduction

name: Krauthausen, Peter
name: Hanebeck, Uwe D.
Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2011

description: Many information fusion tasks involve the processing of Gaussian mixtures with simple underlying shape, but many components. This paper addresses the problem of reducing the number of components, allowing for faster density processing. The proposed approach is based on identifying components irrelevant for the overall density's shape by means of the curvature of the density's surface. The key idea is to minimize an upper bound of the curvature while maintaining a low global reduction error by optimizing the weights of the original Gaussian mixture only. The mixture is reduced by assigning zero weights to reducible components. The main advantages are an alleviation of the model selection problem, as the number of components is chosen by the algorithm automatically, the derivation of simple curvature-based penalty terms, and an easy, efficient implementation. A series of experiments shows the approach to provide a good trade-off between quality and sparsity.
Fitting Conics to Noisy Data Using Stochastic Linearization
Creators: name: Baum, Marcus

Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2011

description: Fitting conic sections, e.g., ellipses or circles, to noisy data points is a fundamental sensor data processing problem, which frequently arises in robotics. In this paper, we introduce a new procedure for deriving a recursive Gaussian state estimator for fitting conics to data corrupted by additive Gaussian noise. For this purpose, the original exact implicit measurement equation is reformulated with the help of suitable approximations as an explicit measurement equation corrupted by multiplicative noise. Based on stochastic linearization, an efficient Gaussian state estimator is derived for the explicit measurement equation. The performance of the new approach is evaluated by means of a typical ellipse fitting scenario.
Taxonomy and Biogeography of the Sea Star genus Patiriella in Tasmania

description: An annotated list of' the sea star fauna of Tasmania is given and an outline of the history of its investigation provided. The composition of the fauna is considered and although a small number of endemic forms are known its relationships are clearly with south-eastern continental Australia. This compares markedly with the New Zealand Asteroidea of which some 80 percent are endemic. Also whilst Tasmania and New Zealand possess some 15 genera of asteroids in common only six species are present in both areas. In Part II the taxonomy of the genus is Patiriella is considered in some detail. The form of the carinal abactinal plates is included as a diagnostic character for‚Äö the genus. The genus Patiriella is divided into regularis‚ÄövÑvp, exigua‚ÄövÑvp and gunnii‚ÄövÑvp groups and Patiriella gunnii (Gray) redescribed. A key to the species of Patiriella found in Tasmania is provided and geographic and vertical distribution considered. Some account of reproductive and feeding mechanisms, as far as they have been studied, is offered. An account of morphological variation as it affects choice of taxonomic characters is presented with particular reference to those characteristics offered by H.L.Clark (1946) and the distinction between Patiriella gunnii (Gray) and Patiriella brevispina H.L.Clark, about which there has been some confusion in the literature. The biogeography of the genus Patriella in the Southern Hemisphere is considered in Part III. Patiriella fimbriata (Perrier) is considered not to belong to the genus. It is suggested that the genus originated in the Indo-Pacific area and that the greatest proliferation of species has occurred along the east and south coasts of Australia. Hypothetical dispersal routes of forms of Patiriella have been constructed. The family Asterinidae is in great need of revision and familial and generic limits are still undefined in many cases. A prospectus is presented as an aid to future study of the Asterirddae and eventual revision of the family, it being considered that this thesis has laid a basis for further work. After the main text of this work was completed further information became available, mainly concerning the identity Patiriella exigua (Lamarek) and this is presented in the addenda. Five papers are bound at the rear of the volume as supporting evidence.

description: We study the generation of directed flow in the hydrodynamic expansion of the hot matter formed in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at 200GeV. The experimentally observed negative directed flow in a wide range of central pseudorapidities isreproduced assuming that the fireball is tilted away from the collision axis. The tilt of the source is consistent with a preferential emission in the forward/backward hemisphere from forward/backward participating nucleons. The model reproduces the experimentally observed scaling of the directed flow when going from Au-Au to Cu-Cu systems.

description: Mobilität ist ein zentraler Faktor moderner Gesellschaften, mit sowohl wirtschaftlicher als auch sozialer Relevanz. In ihrer jetzigen Form verursacht Mobilität jedoch eine Reihe negativer Auswirkungen für Mensch und Umwelt, die von der Emission von Treibhausgasen, Luftschadstoffen und Lärmbelastung bis hin zu Flächenverbrauch und hohem Ressourcenverbrauch reichen. Vor diesem Hintergrund besteht weitgehend Einigkeit darüber, dass die heutigen Verkehrs- und Mobilitätssysteme transformiert und nachhaltiger gestaltet werden müssen. Mobilitätsindikatoren haben sich in diesem Rahmen als nützliches Instrument zur Unterstützung der Politikgestaltung und -bewertung erwiesen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird das Indikatorensystem aus dem SuMo-Rhine Projekt zur Nachhaltigkeitsbewertung gegenwärtiger und zukünftiger urbaner Mobilitätskonzepte am Fallbeispiel der Karlsruher Oststadt angewendet. Anhand des Beispiels wird gezeigt, wie sensitiv die Bewertungsindikatoren in verschiedenen Zukunftszszenarien auf Veränderungen im Mobilitätssystem reagieren. In Hinblick auf die gewählten Anpassungen im Mobilitätssystem des definierten Untersuchungsraums, können somit Änderungen in den Nachhaltigkeitsperformances der Indikatoren erfasst und bewertet werden.

description: AC No. 61-126;Advisory Circular
description: This Advisory Circular (AC) provides information and guidance to potential training device manufacturers and aviation training consumers concerning a means, acceptable to the Administrator, by which personal computer-based aviation training devices (PCATD) may be qualified and approved for flight training toward satisfying the instrument rating training under the provisions of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) parts 61 and 141. While these guidelines are not mandatory, they are derived from extensive Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and industry experience in determining compliance with the pertinent parts of 14 CFR. Mandatory terms used in this AC such as "shall" and "must" are used only in the sense of ensuring applicability of this method of compliance. PCATD's are distinct from flight training devices (FTD) qualified under AC 120-45, Airplane Flight Training Device Qualification, and flight simulators qualified under AC 120-40, Airplane Simulator Qualification. It also provides acceptable criteria under which the airplane or FTD flight-hour training time required for an instrument rating may be reduced by using PCATD's that have been determined to meet acceptable FAA standards. This AC details only one means of determining the acceptability of such devices for use in instrument training curricula.
On the full Boltzmann equations for Leptogenesis

description: We consider the full Boltzmann equations for standard and soft leptogenesis, instead of the usual integrated Boltzmann equations which assume kinetic equilibrium for all species. Decays and inverse decays may be inefficient for thermalising the heavy-(s)neutrino distribution function, leading to significant deviations from kinetic equilibrium. We analyse the impact of using the full kinetic equations in the case of a previously generated lepton asymmetry, and find that the washout of this initial asymmetry due to the interactions of the right-handed neutrino is larger than when calculated via the integrated equations. We also solve the full Boltzmann equations for soft leptogenesis, where the lepton asymmetry induced by the soft SUSY-breaking terms in sneutrino decays is a purely thermal effect, since at T=0 the asymmetry in leptons cancels the one in sleptons. In this case, we obtain that in the weak washout regime (K ~< 1) the final lepton asymmetry can change up to a factor four with respect to previous estimates.

description: Photocatalytic membrane reactors with different configurations (design, flow modes and light sources) have been widely applied for pollutant removal. A thorough understanding of the contribution of reactor design to performance is required to be able to compare photocatalytic materials. Reactors with different flow designs are implemented for process efficiency comparisons. Several figures-of-merit, namely adapted space-time yield (STY) and photocatalytic space-time yield (PSTY), specific energy consumption (SEC) and degradation rate constants, were used to assess the performance of batch, flow-along and flow-through reactors. A fair comparison of reactor performance, considering throughput together with energy efficiency and photocatalytic activity, was only possible with the modified PSTY. When comparing the three reactors at the example of methylene blue (MB) degradation under LED irradiation, flow-through proved to be the most efficient design. PSTY1/PSTY2 values were approximately 10 times higher than both the batch and flow-along processes. The highest activity of such a reactor is attributed to its unique flow design which allowed the reaction to take place not only on the outer surface of the membrane but also within its pores. The enhancement of the mass transfer when flowing in a narrow space (220 nm in flow-through) contributes to an additional MB removal. © 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

description: In this paper, a multi-level approach to intention, activity, and motion recognition for a humanoid robot is proposed. Our system processes images from a monocular camera and combines this information with domain knowledge. The recognition works on-line and in real-time, it is independent of the test person, but limited to predefined view-points. Main contributions of this paper are the extensible, multi-level modeling of the robot's vision system, the efficient activity and motion recognition, and the asynchronous information fusion based on generic processing of mid-level recognition results. The complementarity of the activity and motion recognition renders the approach robust against misclassifications. Experimental results on a real-world data set of complex kitchen tasks, e.g., Prepare Cereals or Lay Table, prove the performance and robustness of the multi-level recognition approach.
