Getting to "rate-optimal'' in ranking & selection

description: In their 2004 seminal paper, Glynn and Juneja formally and precisely established the rate-optimal, probability-of-incorrect-selection, replication allocation scheme for selecting the best of k simulated systems. In the case of independent, normally distributed outputs this allocation has a simple form that depends in an intuitively appealing way on the true means and variances. Of course the means and (typically) variances are unknown, but the rate-optimal allocation provides a target for implementable, dynamic, data-driven policies to achieve. In this paper we compare the empirical behavior of four related replication-allocation policies: mCEI from Chen and Rzyhov and our new gCEI policy that both converge to the Glynn and Juneja allocation; AOMAP from Peng and Fu that converges to the OCBA optimal allocation; and TTTS from Russo that targets the rate of convergence of the posterior probability of incorrect selection. We find that these policies have distinctly different behavior in some settings.
Faceted navigation of social tagging applications

subject: Facet analysis

subject: https://iskouk.org/subjects/00I8GP8X

description: The goal of this paper is to conduct an analysis of seventeen existing and proposed methodologies for the use of facets in social tagging applications, with particular emphasis placed on the extent to which these methodologies address the following questions:
 ● How do you choose facets that can apply generally to all subjects in social tagging applications
 ● How many facets would suffice to cover site members’ needs?
 ● Who should choose the facets?
 ● How do you ensure that the facets chosen reflect the needs of the site members?
 ● How do you maintain the facets and impose quality control over them?
 Results of this analysis indicate that these methodologies provide insufficient guidelines for the choice, evaluation, and maintenance of the facets.
 An underlying problem in many of these studies is their lack of clear definitions of what constitutes a facet. The lack of emphasis on the mutual exclusivity of facets is particularly troublesome, since it is perhaps this attribute that would determine the effectiveness of
 facets in a social tagging application. Most of the proposed methodologies do not address how facets are to be derived or maintained.
 A proposed framework for a more rigorous approach to the incorporation of facets into social tagging applications is presented to facilitate the use of facet analysis as a bridge between the benefits of the grassroots, bottom-up approach to the selection of tags, and a more controlled and efficient organization and visual browsing of tags in social tagging applications.

description: It is analyzed the hydrodynamics of carriers (charge and heat motion) and phonons (heat motion) in semiconductors in the presence of constant electric fields. This is done in terms of a so-called Higher-Order Generalized Hydrodynamics (HOGH), also referred to as Mesoscopic Hydro-Thermodynamics (MHT), that is, covering phenomena involving motions displaying variations short in space and fast in time and being arbitrarily removed from equilibrium, as it is the case in modern electronic devices. The particular case of a MHT of order 1 is described, covering wire samples from macro to nano sizes. Electric and thermal conductivities are obtained. As the size decreases towards the nanometric scale, the MHT of order 1 produces results that in some cases greatly differ from those of the usual hydro-thermodynamics. The so-called Maxwell times associated to the different fluxes present in MHT are evidenced and analyzed; they have a quite relevant role in determining the characteristics of the motion.

description: Ultra-dense network (UDN) has been considered as a promising candidate for future 5G network to meet the explosive data demand. To realize UDN, a reliable, Gigahertz bandwidth, and cost-effective backhaul connecting ultra-dense small-cell base stations (BSs) and macro-cell BS is prerequisite. Millimeter-wave (mmWave) can provide the potential Gbps traffic for wireless backhaul. Moreover, mmWave can be easily integrated with massive MIMO for the improved link reliability. In this article, we discuss the feasibility of mmWave massive MIMO based wireless backhaul for 5G UDN, and the benefits and challenges are also addressed. Especially, we propose a digitally-controlled phase-shifter network (DPSN) based hybrid precoding/combining scheme for mmWave massive MIMO, whereby the low-rank property of mmWave massive MIMO channel matrix is leveraged to reduce the required cost and complexity of transceiver with a negligible performance loss. One key feature of the proposed scheme is that the macro-cell BS can simultaneously support multiple small-cell BSs with multiple streams for each smallcell BS, which is essentially different from conventional hybrid precoding/combining schemes typically limited to single-user MIMO with multiple streams or multi-user MIMO with single stream for each user. Based on the proposed scheme, we further explore the fundamental issues of developing mmWave massive MIMO for wireless backhaul, and the associated challenges, insight, and prospect to enable the mmWave massive MIMO based wireless backhaul for 5G UDN are discussed.

description: Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum), an anaerobic resident of the oral cavity, is increasingly recognized as a contributing factor to ulcerative colitis (UC). The adhesive properties of F. nucleatum are mediated by its key virulence protein, FadA adhesin. However, further investigations are needed to understand the pathogenic mechanisms of this oral pathogen in UC. The present study aimed to explore the role of the FadA adhesin in the colonization and invasion of oral F. nucleatum in dextran sulphate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mice via molecular techniques. In this study, we found that oral inoculation of F. nucleatum strain carrying the FadA adhesin further exacerbated DSS-induced colitis, leading to elevated alveolar bone loss, disease severity, and mortality. Additionally, CDH1 gene knockout mice treated with DSS presented increases in body weight and alveolar bone density, as well as a reduction in disease severity. Furthermore, FadA adhesin adhered to its mucosal receptor E-cadherin, leading to the phosphorylation of β-catenin and the degradation of IκBα, the activation of the NF-κB signalling pathway and the upregulation of downstream cytokines. In conclusion, this research revealed that oral inoculation with F. nucleatum facilitates experimental colitis via the secretion of the virulence adhesin FadA. Targeting the oral pathogen F. nucleatum and its virulence factor FadA may represent a promising therapeutic approach for a portion of UC patients.

description: In this paper we prove the following result: if two 2-dimensional 2-homogeneous rational vector fields commute, then either both vector fields can be explicitly integrated to produce rational flows with orbits being lines through the origin, or both flows can be explicitly integrated in terms of algebraic functions. In the latter case, orbits of each flow are given in terms of $1$-homogeneous rational functions $W$ as curves $W(x,y)=\textrm{const}$. An exhaustive method to construct such commuting algebraic flows is presented. The degree of the so-obtained algebraic functions in two variables can be arbitrarily high.

description: The theoretical analysis of downlink massive MIMO usually assumes the ideal Gaussian channel matrix with asymp- totic orthogonality of channel vectors associated with different users, since it can provide the favorable propagation condition. Meanwhile, recent experiments have shown that massive MIMO channels between a certain user and massive base station antennas appear the spatial common sparsity (SCS) in both the time domain and angle domain. This motivates us to investigate whether realistic sparse massive MIMO channels could provide the favorable propagation condition, and reveal the capacity gap between massive MIMO systems over realistic sparse channels and that under the ideal Gaussian channel matrix assumption. This paper theoretically proves that channel vectors associated with different users in massive MIMO over realistic sparse channels satisfy the asymptotic orthogonality, which indicates that the favorable propagation condition can also be provided. Moreover, the simulation results confirm the theoretical analysis.

description: Disorder driven superconductor to insulator transition via intermediate metallic regime is reported in nano-crystalline thin films of molybdenum. The nano-structured thin films have been deposited at room temperature using DC magnetron sputtering at different argon pressures. The grain size has been tuned using deposition pressure as the sole control parameter. A variation of particle sizes, room temperature resistivity and superconducting transition has been studied as a function of deposition pressure. The nano-crystalline molybdenum thin films are found to have large carrier concentration but very low mobility and electronic mean free path. Hall and conductivity measurements have been used to understand the effect of disorder on the carrier density and mobilities. Ioffe-Regel parameter is shown to correlate with the continuous metal-insulator transition in our samples.

description: Let $F\in\mathbb{C}[x,y,z]$ be a constant-degree polynomial,and let $A,B,C\subset\mathbb C$ be finite sets of size $n$. We show that $F$ vanishes on at most $O(n^{11/6})$ points of the Cartesian product $A\times B\times C$, unless $F$ has a special group-related form. This improves a theorem of Elekes and Szabó [Combinatorica, 2012], and generalizes a result of Raz, Sharir, and Solymosi [Amer. J. Math., to appear]. The same statement holds over $\mathbb{R}$, and a similar statement holds when $A, B, C$ have different sizes (with a more involved bound replacing $O(n^{11/6})$). This result provides a unified tool for improving bounds in various Erd\H os-type problems in combinatorial geometry, and we discuss several applications of this kind.

Optimal synchronization of Kuramoto oscillators: a dimensional reduction approach

Subjects: subject: Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems (nlin.AO)

description: A recently proposed dimensional reduction approach for studying synchronization in the Kuramoto model is employed to build optimal network topologies to favor or to suppress synchronization. The approach is based in the introduction of a collective coordinate for the time evolution of the phase locked oscillators, in the spirit of the Ott-Antonsen ansatz. We show that the optimal synchronization of a Kuramoto network demands the maximization of the quadratic function $ω^T L ω$, where $ω$ stands for the vector of the natural frequencies of the oscillators, and $L$ for the network Laplacian matrix. Many recently obtained numerical results can be re-obtained analytically and in a simpler way from our maximization condition. A computationally efficient {hill climb} rewiring algorithm is proposed to generate networks with optimal synchronization properties. Our approach can be easily adapted to the case of the Kuramoto models with both attractive and repulsive interactions, and again many recent numerical results can be rederived in a simpler and clearer analytical manner.

description: The impact of fluidic actuation on the wake and drag of a three-dimensional blunt body is investigated experimentally. Jets blowing tangentially to the main flow allow to force the wake with variable frequency and amplitude. Depending on the forcing conditions, two flow regimes can be distinguished. First, in case of broadband actuation with frequencies comprising the natural wake time scale, the convection of the jet structures enhances wake entrainment, shortens the length of the recirculating flow and increases drag. Secondly, at higher actuation frequencies, shear-layer deviation leads to fluidic boat-tailing of the wake. It additionally lowers its turbulent kinetic energy thus reducing the entrainment of momentum towards the recirculating flow. The combination of both mechanisms produces a raise of the base pressure and reduces the drag of the model. Both actuation regimes are characterized by complementary velocity, pressure and drag measurements at several upstream conditions and control parameters. By adding curved surfaces to deviate the jets by the Coanda effect, periodic actuation is reinforced and drag reductions of about 20% are achieved. The unsteady Coanda blowing not only intensifies the flow deviation and the base pressure recovery but also preserves the unsteady high-frequency forcing effect on the turbulent field. The present results encourage further development of fluidic control to improve the aerodynamics of road vehicles and provide a complementary insight into the relation between wake dynamics and drag.

HOUSEHOLD DEMAND FOR IMPROVED SANITATION SERVICES: A CONTINGENT VALUATION STUDY ON ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA
Creators: name: Biruk Gezahegne
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2003

description: As any developing country, lack of adequate infrastructure provision is an enormous problem in

Ethiopia. When we see the case of Addis Ababa, the current coverage of sanitation service is very

low. It is this very fact that has made the government of Ethiopia to extend a concerted effort to

improve the condition. In doing so, the government has stated that, the policy for increasing the

coverage as well as the proper use of any sustainability of the service requires implementation of a

cost recovery system. But this requires information on people’s preferences and WTP for the

proposed improvement

Tukia's isomorphism theorem in CAT(-1) spaces

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: We prove a generalization of Tukia's ('85) isomorphism theorem which states that isomorphisms between geometrically finite groups extend equivariantly to the boundary. Tukia worked in the setting of real hyperbolic spaces of finite dimension, and his theorem cannot be generalized as stated to the setting of CAT($-1$) spaces. We exhibit examples of type-preserving isomorphisms of geometrically finite subgroups of finite-dimensional rank one symmetric spaces of noncompact type (ROSSONCTs) whose boundary extensions are not quasisymmetric. A sufficient condition for a type-preserving isomorphism to extend to a quasisymmetric equivariant homeomorphism between limit sets is that one of the groups in question is a lattice, and that the underlying base fields are the same, or if they are not the same then the base field of the space on which the lattice acts has the larger dimension. This in turn leads to a generalization of a rigidity theorem of Xie ('08) to the setting of finite-dimensional ROSSONCTs.

Compiled Body of Works in Field Epidemiology
Creators: name: Melaku Seyoum
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: This compiled body of works has nine main chapters which all of them were done during the residency time of the program. These nine sections are expected outputs during the residency time, such as outbreak investigation, surveillance data analysis report, surveillance system evaluation, description of a health profile report, Manuscript for peer reviewed journal, abstract for submission in scientific conferences, writing protocol/proposal of epidemiologic research project, a summary of disaster situation report and other additional outputs. Chapter One: -Two outbreak investigations were carried out. The first outbreak was conducted in Hudet Woreda, Dawa zone of Somali region and the second in Addis Ababa. In the first outbreak a total of 358 measles cases with 13 deaths were identified in Hudet woreda and in the second outbreak 260 imported cholera cases with no death were identified in Addis Ababa Bole international airport. Both outbreaks were confirmed at EPHI national reference laboratory. To identify the risk factors case-control study design was conducted for the first outbreak investigations and descriptive for the second outbreak. Recommendation was given for both based on the findings.

Fractional Floquet theory

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A fractional generalization of the Floquet theorem is suggested for fractional Schrödinger equations (FTSE)s with the time-dependent periodic Hamiltonians. The obtained result, called the fractional Floquet theorem (fFT), is formulated in the form of the Mittag-Leffler function, which is considered as the eigenfunction of the Caputo fractional derivative. The suggested formula makes it possible to reduce the FTSE to the standard quantum mechanics with the time-dependent Hamiltonian, where the standard Floquet theorem is valid. Two examples related to quantum resonances are considered as well to support the obtained result.

Photoproduction of Exotic Baryon Resonances

description: We point out that the new exotic resonances recently reported by LHCb in the $J/ψp$ channel are excellent candidates for photoproduction off a proton target. This test is crucial to confirming the resonant nature of such states, as opposed to their being kinematical effects. We specialize to an interpretation of the heavier narrow state as a molecule composed of $Σ_c$ and $\bar D^*$, and estimate its production cross section using vector dominance. The relevant photon energies and fluxes are well within the capabilities of the GlueX and CLAS12 detectors at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLAB). A corresponding calculation is also performed for photoproduction of an analogous resonance which is predicted to exist in the $Υp$ channel.
