description: We observe trion emission from suspended carbon nanotubes where carriers are introduced electrostatically using field-effect transistor structures. The trion peak emerges below the $E_{11}$ emission energy at gate voltages that coincide with the onset of bright exciton quenching. By investigating nanotubes with various chiralities, we verify that the energy separation between the bright exciton peak and the trion peak becomes smaller for larger diameter tubes. Trion binding energies that are significantly larger compared to surfactant-wrapped carbon nanotubes are obtained, and the difference is attributed to the reduced dielectric screening in suspended tubes.

description: This BRIDGES national report analyses the main narratives developed in traditional and social media around three different events in Spain: the Ceuta migration crisis in May 2021, with more than 10,000 irregular arrivals (including 1,500 minors) in less than 48 hours; the publication of a poster by the extreme-right wing party VOX, which blamed unaccompanied minors of causing too much welfare expenditures, during a regional electoral campaign in Madrid in May 2021; and the jihadist terrorist attacks carried out in Barcelona and Cambrils (Catalonia) in August 2017. In line with WP3 main objectives, the report addresses four interrelated questions: who gains access to the public arena and shapes prevailing narratives; where these narratives emerge and what path they take; what the main features of successful narratives are; and in which contexts and circumstances (thus when) certain
 narratives obtain a competitive edge. In terms of methodology, each event is analysed on the basis of the news published during the peak period (around two weeks) by three major newspapers (national and local) and two prime-time TV newscasts, as well as on social media data from Twitter. Though the three events are very different in nature, their analysis shows an increasing politicisation of immigration but with very particular features that still characterise the uniqueness of the Spanish case in the European context.

description: Background : The library and information science profession does a good job educating, training, and mentoring students and new professionals. Much of this work is done through formal programs such as internships and networking through professional associations. It can be difficult to provide this support when a person is not eligible or able to participate in typical formal opportunities. It can also be difficult to promote the profession to teenagers and young people when resources about the many different types of positions in libraries and information centers are diffuse and not created with this population in mind.Description : A health sciences librarian newly assigned to coordinate requests for non-paid experiential opportunities was faced with requests from a broad range of prospective library professionals. The librarian worked with other librarians to design creative approaches that went beyond typical formal programs such as internships and networking through professional associations. These included online outreach to teens interested in the profession, learning experiences for a high school student wanting to become better informed about the profession in order to make good decisions about education and job training, experiences for students with disabilities, and projects for recent library school graduates that provided more practical experience and references to use in their job searches.Conclusion : This poster shares experiences thinking outside the box to elevate the profession and help students and others pursue a career in libraries. It includes brief lessons learned from coordinating a non-paid experiential program at an academic institution. When students cannot participate in typical formal programs, they may be able to gain knowledge or experience in other ways. Each type of prospective information or library science professional has its own set of rules and challenges that can be met in ways that are rewarding to all involved.

description: A plethora of models to predict the onset of a first psychotic episode in individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis have been proposed. However, only limited efforts have been made to systematically validate their performance in independent samples. Using a systematic literature search, we will identify psychosis risk models that are based on information readily obtainable in general clinical settings, such as clinical and neuropsychological data to validate their performance in the CHR population of the PRONIA study (www.pronia.eu; German Clinical Trials Register identifier DRKS00005042).
Artificial Intelligence in Systematic Reviews: Uncharted Waters for Librarians

Year: 2018

description: Background: For over 10 years, informatics journals have published articles about the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) tools to automate parts of the time-consuming and labor-intensive systematic review process.  Despite this vision, automation of the systematic review process is still uncommon today for many research teams.  This study will investigate why these potentially time-saving tools have not been incorporated into librarians’ systematic review workflow, especially given the recent surge in systematic review requests. Methods: This study will involve a review of the literature which will explore the proposed uses of AI to facilitate the systematic review process. In particular, the review will identify tools that can incorporate AI into the systematic review screening process, as well as resources and best practices for the use of these tools. Finally, the study will examine the facilitators and barriers to librarians’ adoption of AI tools in systematic reviews. Results: The researchers will present key findings from the literature review. They will explain types of AI and available options for librarians’ use to expedite the systematic review screening process. The researchers will share a list of available tools and recommendations for librarians to begin to incorporate AI into their systematic review workflow.Conclusions: Explaining the history, uses, and potential benefits and challenges of AI in systematic reviews may help librarians understand how best to incorporate these tools into their expert searching services.

description: Information campaigns aim at discouraging potential migrants from leaving their countries irregularly. This paper systematically reviews academic research on these campaigns and presents some avenues for further research. It is shown that (EU-funded) information campaigns have gained importance and become more diversified in terms of communication tools and actors involved. Future research projects may focus more on how information campaigns relate to the narratives and information landscape that influence the decision-making of potential migrants, the role of local actors in implementing these campaigns and the way narratives and frames are actually built up in countries of origin and transit. To better understand the effects of information campaigns, we need to understand and compare alternative and counter-narratives taken up or even produced by potential migrants.

description: The effect of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) ELM mitigation coils on fast ion wall loads was studied with the fast particle following Monte Carlo code ASCOT. Neutral beam injected (NBI) particles were simulated in two AUG discharges both in the presence and in the absence of the magnetic field perturbation induced by the eight newly installed in-vessel coils. In one of the discharges (#26476) beams were applied individually, making it a useful basis for investigating the effect of the coils on different beams. However, no ELM mitigation was observed in #26476, probably due to the low plasma density. Therefore, another discharge (#26895) demonstrating clear ELM mitigation was also studied. The magnetic perturbation due to the in-vessel coils has a significant effect on the fast particle confinement, but only when total magnetic field, $B_{tot}$, is low. When $B_{tot}$ was high, the perturbation did not increase the losses, but merely resulted in redistribution of the wall power loads. Hence, it seems to be possible to achieve ELM mitigation using in-vessel coils, while still avoiding increased fast ion losses, by simply using a strong $B_{tot}$. Preliminary comparisons between simulated and experimental Fast Ion Lost Detector (FILD) signals show a reasonable correspondence.
The development, implementation, and evaluation of a behaviour change intervention targeting physical activity after treatments for cervical cancer
Creators: name: Millet, Nessa
Publisher: name: Loughborough University

Subjects: Other health sciences not elsewhere classified

description: Treatments for cervical cancer can result in several compromising after-effects, including the early onset of menopause, lymphadenectomy complications, fatigue and psychological sequelae which can contribute to poor quality of life (QOL). Cancer survivorship presents a period where physical activity participation is generally low, as treated women experience numerous barriers to physical activity. This is despite physical activity participation after cancer being a well-established and safe avenue to improve physical function and QOL. Due to a previous lack of research, it is not known how best to promote and implement physical activity after cervical cancer, particularly regarding what modes, intensities, duration, and frequencies of physical activity are preferable in this population. The overall aim of this thesis is to address this gap in knowledge through the development, implementation and evaluation of a behaviour change intervention targeting physical activity in women treated for cervical cancer. This thesis is comprised of four empirical studies, adopting a mixed methods approach. The first study aimed to achieve complementarity in the research process by understanding the personal experiences of women treated for cervical cancer. It was found that unmet physical, social, and emotional needs contributed to compromised QOL after cervical cancer. To improve QOL, an ‘exercise is medicine’ approach was taken whereby physical activity was chosen as a mechanism to improve wellbeing. Thus, the other three studies followed a systematic process of intervention development, implementation, and evaluation to trial a multi-component physical activity programme after cervical cancer. The programme was named ACCEPTANCE (Acceptability in Cervical Cancer of an Exercise-based Programme delivered Through An oNline Community Environment). The intervention was implemented within a feasibility trial and process evaluation measures were conducted alongside its delivery. Several intervention aspects were deemed ‘feasible as is’ or ‘feasible with close monitoring’, whilst it was demonstrated that participants increased both their volume of physical activity and moderate to vigorous physical activity from baseline to follow-up. In conclusion, the developed programme was generally well accepted by participants. Only minor modifications are needed before the ACCEPTANCE trial can be delivered as a definitive randomised control trial. Findings from this thesis will have real world and practical implications for those treated for cervical cancer and healthcare practitioners.

description: This project examines changes in relationship quality among cohabiting couples during and after the COVID-19 pandemic and the effect of stress on relationship quality. The goals of the project are to identify key factors that predict both positive and negative changes in relationship quality, as well investigate the ways in which concurrent stress (both partners experiencing stress) uniquely affects relationship and individual outcomes. There are two versions of this study: Version 1 is a 6-month 4-wave longitudinal study tracking individuals who were sheltering in place with their romantic partners during the COVID-19 pandemic. We will also collect data from a subset of their partners. Version 2 includes the same questions as Version 1 but is a cross-sectional study conducted via social media (participants are required to be cohabiting with a romantic partner, but not sheltering-in-place together). We will also collect data from a subset of their partners.
Automating the Systematic Review Process: A Bibliometric Analysis

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Objectives : To perform a bibliometric analysis on the body of literature discussing the use of automation tools to facilitate systematic reviews.Methods : A comprehensive search was performed to identify articles describing the automation of systematic reviews using artificial intelligence (e.g. machine learning, text mining, algorithms, etc.). Searches were conducted in biomedical, library & information science, and engineering databases. Results were aggregated and de-duplicated. The number of results indicated that machine learning was an appropriate technique for reviewing such a large body of literature. A random sample of records was screened to identify relevant papers and create a training data set. After the machine learning process was employed to complete screening on the remaining records, final results were uploaded into a visualization & network mapping tool.Results : Our bibliometric analysis found considerable collaboration around a core of prolific authors based in countries where evidence-based medicine has been widely adopted. Over time, representation in publications has moved from computer science journals and conference proceedings to domain-specific application with many newer enhancements focused on health sciences. Additionally, publications have moved from theory to problem-solving in specific parts of the systematic review process. Results will be delivered as a poster at the MLA 2019 Annual Meeting with visualizations including: size and scope of literature, key journals and conferences, collaboration networks, and author demographics including affiliation and role.Conclusions : The field of systematic review automation has grown substantially in recent years, both in the addition of new authors and the expansion of collaboration networks. While adoption has increased in systematic review-focused publications and groups, more work must be done to gain acceptance in biomedical publications, including validations of algorithms and tools, guidelines for use in systematic reviews, and education of researchers. As key partners in systematic review performance and educators in systematic review methods, librarians are poised to play an important role in the adoption and acceptance of this technology.

description: Objective: Our library has licensed Covidence, a systematic review screening tool, to enable researchers to streamline their review processes. In order to get the most out of our institutional subscription, we held in-person classes and one-on-one consultations to teach researchers how to use the product. This study will: 1) gauge the impact this tool has had on researchers’ efficiency and collaborative efforts 2) determine whether our instruction aligns with researcher needs and 3) identify challenges researchers faced in using the product.Methods: Our study will use a mixed methods approach to evaluate the experiences of faculty and staff researchers, students, and librarians using Covidence. First, we will collect Covidence usage data and training statistics. Second, we will survey registered Covidence users about their use and perceptions of Covidence and Covidence training. Third, we will interview Covidence users about their usage experiences and will then identify themes from their in-depth qualitative responses.Results: We had more than a thousand Covidence accounts created since we acquired our license. Our survey is in progress, and results will include users’ perceptions of Covidence as a tool to streamline the review process (e.g. to save time, reduce errors, among others), their training needs, their ability to coordinate multi-institutional collaborations, and their future use. Interview results will further address researchers’ benefits and challenges with using Covidence and suggestions for improvement to the tool or the training.  We hope to gather information for improvements to make the users’ learning experience more effective and smooth.Conclusion: We anticipate that our results will enable us to make recommendations to other libraries considering an institutional license to a systematic review screening tool, to provide insight as to how we can improve our systematic review services, and to inform product improvement.

description: A twist is a datum playing a role of a local system for topological $K$-theory. In equivariant setting, twists are classified into four types according to how they are realized geometrically. This paper lists the possible types of twists for the torus with the actions of the point groups of all the 2-dimensional space groups (crystallographic groups), or equivalently, the torus with the actions of all the possible finite subgroups in its mapping class group. This is carried out by computing Borel's equivariant cohomology and the Leray-Serre spectral sequence. As a byproduct, the equivariant cohomology up to degree three is determined in all cases. The equivariant cohomology with certain local coefficients is also considered in relation to the twists of the Freed-Moore $K$-theory.

Algebraic Clustering of Affine Subspaces

description: Subspace clustering is an important problem in machine learning with many applications in computer vision and pattern recognition. Prior work has studied this problem using algebraic, iterative, statistical, low-rank and sparse representation techniques. While these methods have been applied to both linear and affine subspaces, theoretical results have only been established in the case of linear subspaces. For example, algebraic subspace clustering (ASC) is guaranteed to provide the correct clustering when the data points are in general position and the union of subspaces is transversal. In this paper we study in a rigorous fashion the properties of ASC in the case of affine subspaces. Using notions from algebraic geometry, we prove that the homogenization trick, which embeds points in a union of affine subspaces into points in a union of linear subspaces, preserves the general position of the points and the transversality of the union of subspaces in the embedded space, thus establishing the correctness of ASC for affine subpaces.

description: The genomic evolution inherent to cancer relates directly to a renewed focus on the voluminous next generation sequencing (NGS) data, and machine learning for the inference of explanatory models of how the (epi)genomic events are choreographed in cancer initiation and development. However, despite the increasing availability of multiple additional -omics data, this quest has been frustrated by various theoretical and technical hurdles, mostly stemming from the dramatic heterogeneity of the disease. In this paper, we build on our recent works on "selective advantage" relation among driver mutations in cancer progression and investigate its applicability to the modeling problem at the population level. Here, we introduce PiCnIc (Pipeline for Cancer Inference), a versatile, modular and customizable pipeline to extract ensemble-level progression models from cross-sectional sequenced cancer genomes. The pipeline has many translational implications as it combines state-of-the-art techniques for sample stratification, driver selection, identification of fitness-equivalent exclusive alterations and progression model inference. We demonstrate PiCnIc's ability to reproduce much of the current knowledge on colorectal cancer progression, as well as to suggest novel experimentally verifiable hypotheses.
Why Don't Humanities Faculty Publish Open Access?

description: Since 2007, UNC has officially been an Open Access campus, yet only 18% of faculty publications are Open Access (according to Scopus on December 9, 2018), and only 2% of faculty publications have been stored on UNC’s Open Access Repository, the CDR. The Scholarly Communications Office, part of the University Libraries since 2010, only just had, in January 2019, a link added to the University Libraries’ website home page to get to the department’s website. If services are to be provided for UNC faculty, and faculty are to accessibly utilize Open Access publication tools, faculty first need to be aware of its existence. This poster session describes the publishing-related information needs of humanities faculty and how the University Libraries’ Scholarly Communications department has the potential to target services and events to answer these needs.
Second-order PDEs with integrable symbols

Publisher: name: Loughborough University

Subjects: Other mathematical sciences not elsewhere classified

description: The aim of this project is to study nonlinear second order partial differential equations (PDEs) in three and four dimensions (3D, 4D) and establish integrability of certain classes of these PDEs based on some geometric properties of their principal symbols. In 3D, the geometric properties are the Einstein-Weyl geometry, which consists of an affine connection D, a conformal structure [g], and a covector ω. In 4D, the geometry is the self-dual geometry consisting of a vanishing (anti) self-dual part of the conformal structure [g]. Results attained provide partial classification in both dimensions, as well as conjectures for further investigation in future studies. In particular, for generic second-order PDEs in 3D, we show that ω, a covector appearing in the Einstein-Weyl structures, is expressible in terms of the equation. Also, we prove that the knowledge of ω and [g] provides a dispersionless Lax pair by an explicit formula. The rigidity conjecture proposes that for any generic second-order PDE with Einstein–Weyl property, all dependence on the 1-jet variables can be eliminated via a suitable contact transformation. As for the 4D case, we prove that the half-flatness requirement implies the Monge-Ampere property. Additionally we provide examples of nondegenerate integrable PDEs in 3D and 4D that are not contact equivalent to any translationally invariant equations.

E6 inspired composite Higgs model

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We consider a composite Higgs model embedded into a Grand Unified Theory(GUT) based on the E_6 gauge group. The phenomenological viability of this E_6 inspired composite Higgs model (E6CHM) implies that standard model (SM) elementary fermions with different baryon or lepton number should stem from different 27 representations of E_6. We present a six-dimensional orbifold GUT model in which the E_6 gauge symmetry is broken to the SM gauge group so that the appropriate splitting of the bulk 27-plets takes place. In this model the strongly coupled sector is localised on one of the branes and possesses an SU(6) global symmetry that contains the SU(3)_C\times SU(2)_W\times U(1)_Y subgroup. In this case the approximate gauge coupling unification can be attained if the right-handed top quark is a composite state and the elementary sector involves extra exotic matter beyond the SM which ensures anomaly cancellation. The breakdown of the approximate SU(6) symmetry at low energies in this model results in a set of the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone states which include a Higgs doublet and scalar colour triplet. We discuss the generation of the masses of the SM fermions in the E6CHM. The presence of the TeV scale vector-like exotic quarks and scalar colour triplet may provide spectacular new physics signals that can be observed at the LHC.

description: We study the competition of spin- and charge-density waves and their quantum multicritical behavior for the semimetal-insulator transitions of low-dimensional Dirac fermions. Employing the effective Gross-Neveu-Yukawa theory with two order parameters as a model for graphene and a growing number of other two-dimensional Dirac materials allows us to describe the physics near the multicritical point at which the semimetallic and the spin- and charge-density-wave phases meet. With the help of a functional renormalization group approach, we are able to reveal a complex structure of fixed points, the stability properties of which decisively depend on the number of Dirac fermions $N_f$. We give estimates for the critical exponents and observe crucial quantitative corrections as compared to the previous first-order $ε$ expansion. For small $N_f$, the universal behavior near the multicritical point is determined by the chiral Heisenberg universality class supplemented by a decoupled, purely bosonic, Ising sector. At large $N_f$, a novel fixed point with nontrivial couplings between all sectors becomes stable. At intermediate $N_f$, including the graphene case ($N_f = 2$) no stable and physically admissible fixed point exists. Graphene's phase diagram in the vicinity of the intersection between the semimetal, antiferromagnetic and staggered density phases should consequently be governed by a triple point exhibiting first-order transitions.

description: We tackle the problem of learning linear classifiers from noisy datasets in a multiclass setting. The two-class version of this problem was studied a few years ago where the proposed approaches to combat the noise revolve around a Per-ceptron learning scheme fed with peculiar examples computed through a weighted average of points from the noisy training set. We propose to build upon these approaches and we introduce a new algorithm called UMA (for Unconfused Multiclass additive Algorithm) which may be seen as a generalization to the multiclass setting of the previous approaches. In order to characterize the noise we use the confusion matrix as a multiclass extension of the classification noise studied in the aforemen-tioned literature. Theoretically well-founded, UMA furthermore displays very good empirical noise robustness, as evidenced by numerical simulations conducted on both synthetic and real data.

Here we present a scalable design for a silicon quantum processor that does not require precise donor placement and allows hundreds of nanometers inter-qubit distances, therefore facilitating fabrication using current technology. All qubit operations are performed via electrical means on the electron-nuclear spin states of a phosphorus donor. Single-qubit gates use low power electric drive at microwave frequencies, while fast two-qubit gates exploit electric dipole-dipole interactions. Microwave resonators allow for millimeter-distance entanglement and interfacing with photonic links. Sweet spots protect the qubits from charge noise up to second order, implying that all operations can be performed with error rates below quantum error correction thresholds, even without any active noise cancellation technique.

subject: Pharmacotherapy

description: This projects has two aims. First, we examine whether the current evaluation process of the FDA leads to psychotropic drugs (i.e., antidepressants, antipsychotics, and ADHD medication) supported by substantial evidence (at the time of approval). Second, we determine whether there are systematic differences in strength of evidence, trial characteristics, and number of trials for psycho-active drugs across mental disorders and examine whether these potential differences are reflected in the associated evidence load.

description: We examine factors associated with the use of basic water supply and sanitation services as part of an integrated community-based nutrition programme which included a drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) intervention and emphasise findings related to health risk perceptions. Data were collected from 2658 households in four regions in Ethiopia with a cross-sectional survey in WaSH intervention areas, as well as in control areas, where the intervention was not implemented. The data were analysed using bivariate and multivariable regression analysis. Awareness of health risk factors related to inadequate WaSH was high in the programme area. The use of basic water and sanitation services was associated with several health risk perceptions: Perceiving water quality as good increased the odds of using basic water services as opposed to believing the water quality was poor (OR 3.94; CI 3.06–5.08; p ≤ 0.001). Believing that drinking unsafe water was the main cause for diarrhoea increased the odds of using basic water services (OR 1.48; CI 1.20–1.81; p ≤ 0.001). In the WaSH intervention group, the use of basic sanitation was more likely than in the control group. The use of basic sanitation was associated with households who had previously received sanitation training, as opposed to such who had not (OR 1.55; CI 1.22–1.97; p ≤ 0.001). Perceiving dirty space as the main cause of diarrhoea (OR 1.81; CI 1.50–2.19; p ≤ 0.001), and privacy when using a latrine (OR 2.00; CI 1.67–2.40; p ≤ 0.001), were associated with higher odds of using basic sanitation. Households that indicated a disadvantage of owning a latrine was maintenance costs were less likely to use basic sanitation (OR 0.49; CI 0.38–0.63; p ≤ 0.001). Risk perceptions were important determinants of use of basic services. The findings point to risk perceptions motivating the application of positive WaSH-related and health-protective behaviours. This suggests that well-designed health risk communication strategies may be effective for engaging households in healthy WaSH behaviour.

description: This study examines the patterns, trends, and factors associated with functional community water points in rural Ethiopia and identifies potential areas of improvement in terms of practitioner response to functionality and functionality monitoring. It was part of an integrated WaSH and nutrition program implemented by UNICEF Ethiopia and the Government of Ethiopia. Cross-sectional surveys were conducted to collect WaSH-related data in communities and WaSH committees from four community-based nutrition (CBN) program groupings in Ethiopia. In all areas, CBN was implemented, but only in less than half of the areas, a WaSH intervention was implemented. Seventy-three representative kebeles, comprising 30 intervention and 43 control communities, were surveyed. Two structured surveys were conducted. The ‘community survey’ addressed community water points and their functionality and the main areas for improvement needed. The ‘WaSH committee survey’ investigated technical and management aspects of water points and their functionality. Data were analyzed using bivariate regression to identify community characteristics and management practices associated with functionality of water points and explore opportunities to improve water point functionality and monitoring. In the communities, 65% of water points were functional. Eighty percent of communities had a WaSH committee. The WaSH committee members reported that the most used water point types were protected dug wells and boreholes, and that 80% of their water points were functional. India Mark II pumps were more likely to be functional and communities with longer established WaSH committees had higher water point functionality. Communities suggested that the key factors for water point sustainability were improving water quality and water pressure, reducing water collection time, and speeding up repair times. Taking community leaders’ ‘priority lists’ into consideration offers sustainable opportunities for demand-driven, adaptive and targeted design and implementation of rural water supply programs, which, if they include the grassroots level as key informants and actors of change, can succeed. Interventions should integrate the ‘voice’ of the community, the WaSH committees, and other stakeholders and thereby facilitate transdisciplinary approaches at different stages of program management (planning, monitoring, and evaluation). This would help closing the knowledge to action gap and improve policy, programming, practice, and service delivery.

description: This deliverable describes the project website of Project Ô, focusing on its goals, structure, and content. Three main goals of the website are identified in this document: 1) to provide timely and accurate information about the development of the project with an emphasis on the tools to be used at the demo-sites; 2) to provide a platform to visualize the demo-sites in Croatia, Israel, Italy and Spain, in which the project is being implemented; 3) to serve as a vehicle for receiving input from stakeholders, including other researchers working on circular water technologies, institutions benefited from circular water reuse systems, and decision-makers of the demo-sites where the project is executed, among others, and giving them output. Project Ô's notion of communication does not refer to a unidirectional flow of information from the project to the rest of stakeholders, but rather to a multidimensional sense in which different stakeholders can take part of it.

description: Gene regulatory network reconstruction is a fundamental problem in computational biology. We recently developed an algorithm, called PANDA (Passing Attributes Between Networks for Data Assimilation), that integrates multiple sources of 'omics data and estimates regulatory network models. This approach was initially implemented in the C++ programming language and has since been applied to a number of biological systems. In our current research we are beginning to expand the algorithm to incorporate larger and most diverse data-sets, to reconstruct networks that contain increasing numbers of elements, and to build not only single network models, but sets of networks. In order to accomplish these "Big Data" applications, it has become critical that we increase the computational efficiency of the PANDA implementation. In this paper we show how to recast PANDA's similarity equations as matrix operations. This allows us to implement a highly readable version of the algorithm using the MATLAB/Octave programming language. We find that the resulting M-code much shorter (103 compared to 1128 lines) and more easily modifiable for potential future applications. The new implementation also runs significantly faster, with increasing efficiency as the network models increase in size. Tests comparing the C-code and M-code versions of PANDA demonstrate that this speed-up is on the order of 20-80 times faster for networks of similar dimensions to those we find in current biological applications.
