description: We develop a general theory of Markov chains realizable as random walks on $\mathscr R$-trivial monoids. It provides explicit and simple formulas for the eigenvalues of the transition matrix, for multiplicities of the eigenvalues via Möbius inversion along a lattice, a condition for diagonalizability of the transition matrix and some techniques for bounding the mixing time. In addition, we discuss several examples, such as Toom-Tsetlin models, an exchange walk for finite Coxeter groups, as well as examples previously studied by the authors, such as nonabelian sandpile models and the promotion Markov chain on posets. Many of these examples can be viewed as random walks on quotients of free tree monoids, a new class of monoids whose combinatorics we develop.

description: XML document markup is highly repetitive and therefore well compressible using grammar-based compression. Downward, navigational XPath can be executed over grammar-compressed trees in PTIME: the query is translated into an automaton which is executed in one pass over the grammar. This result is well-known and has been mentioned before. Here we present precise bounds on the time complexity of this problem, in terms of big-O notation. For a given grammar and XPath query, we consider three different tasks: (1) to count the number of nodes selected by the query, (2) to materialize the pre-order numbers of the selected nodes, and (3) to serialize the subtrees at the selected nodes.

description: The management of bacterial diseases calls for a detailed knowledge about the dynamic changes in host–bacteria interactions. Biological insights are gained by integrating experimental data with mechanistic mathematical models to infer experimentally unobservable quantities. This inter-disciplinary field would benefit from experiments with maximal information content yielding high-precision inference. Here, we present a computationally efficient tool for optimizing experimental design in terms of parameter inference in studies using isogenic-tagged strains. We study the effect of three experimental design factors: number of biological replicates, sampling timepoint selection and number of copies per tagged strain. We conduct a simulation study to establish the relationship between our optimality criterion and the size of parameter estimate confidence intervals, and showcase its application in a range of biological scenarios reflecting different dynamics patterns observed in experimental infections. We show that in low-variance systems with low killing and replication rates, predicting high-precision experimental designs is consistently achieved; higher replicate sizes and strategic timepoint selection yield more precise estimates. Finally, we address the question of resource allocation under constraints; given a fixed number of host animals and a constraint on total inoculum size per host, infections with fewer strains at higher copies per strain lead to higher-precision inference.

description: Normal cells and cancer cells differ in the obvious features of cellular phenotype, e.g. in various degrees of escape from normal growth control mechanisms and of invasiveness. These massive changes in phenotype are based on an altered program of expressed genes. Although cancer cells constantly alter their properties, i.e. they progress, portions of the altered program are stable over many cell generations or even established permanently, probably because of selective pressure. Genes affected in the altered program code for growth factor receptors and growth factors, for components of or enzymes acting at the extracellular matrix and for various intracellular and membrane-bound proteins. It is reasonable to assume that the alterations of the genetic program are related to the mutations and gene rearrangements that make up the cancer cell. Advances in two separate areas of research, the process of carcinogenesis and the mechanisms of gene regulation, permit suggestions about the molecular links between carcinogenic mutation and gene expression, as well as suggestions for their experimental verification.

description: In July 2011, Pope Benedict XVI publicly condemned the ordination of Father Paul Lei Shiyin as Bishop, an appointment the Vatican had not previously approved. The conflict between Beijing and the Holy See over the appointment of Chinese bishops dates back to 1951, when China and Vatican broke diplomatic relations. This paper questions why the Vatican and the People’s Republic of China failed to establish normal relations between 1949 and 1989.
The literature on the diplomatic relations between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Holy See is sparse. Beatrice Leung’s monograph SinoVatican Relations: Problems in Conflicting Authority 1976-1986 is the most authoritative account of SinoVatican relations after 1949. Leung analyzes the major developments of Beijing-Vatican relations in terms of a clash of authority between the Pope and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

description: In this paper we study scalar perturbations of the metric for nonlinear $f(R)$ models. We consider the Universe at the late stage of its evolution and deep inside the cell of uniformity. We investigate the astrophysical approach in the case of Minkowski spacetime background and two cases in the cosmological approach, the large scalaron mass approximation and the quasi-static approximation, getting explicit expressions for scalar perturbations for both these cases. In the most interesting quasi-static approximation, the scalar perturbation functions depend on both the nonlinearity function $f(R)$ and the scale factor $a$. Hence, we can study the dynamical behavior of the inhomogeneities (e.g., galaxies and dwarf galaxies) including into consideration their gravitational attraction and the cosmological expansion, and also taking into account the effects of nonlinearity. Our investigation is valid for functions $f(R)$ which have stable de Sitter points in future with respect to the present time, that is typical for the most popular $f(R)$ models.

description: The nineteenth century was not an entirely kind time for the female artist. Coming of age as the 1800’s bridged into its latter half, literary artists Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and Kate Chopin were all well aware of their uncharitable culture. Equipped with firm feminist bents and creative visions, each of three women produced a seminal work – The Story of Avis, “The Yellow Wallpaper,” and The Awakening, respectively – taking that atmosphere to task. In these stories, each of the three women produces a female protagonist who struggles for having been born simultaneously an artist and a woman. The writers pit their women’s desires against the restrictive latitude of their time and show how such conditions drive women to madness, as a result of which they are forced to either escape into the blind mind of insanity or deal daily with their pain and inescapable societal condemnation. In an age where “hysteria” was a frequent hit in the vernacular, Phelps, Gilman and Chopin use art and literature as mediums to show that, indeed, there is a method behind the madness.
Turning Apolitical To Stay Political: Billy Graham, Evangelical Religion, And The Vietnam War

description: This essay explores the intersection between Evangelicalism and foreign policy in the context of the Vietnam War. As a handle into the topic, it focuses on examining how Billy Graham, a prominent religious actor, negotiated the public sphere and private halls of power in order to influence politics, and specifically the American foreign policy decision to intervene in Vietnam. More than just a religious figure, Graham was a political actor who was able to adapt to a changing political climate by shrewdly turning to an apolitical message in the public sphere in order to sustain his political role in the private sphere. Within the White House, Graham practiced a unique and masterfully subtle style of ‘friendship politics.’ He cultivated a level of intimacy with President Johnson and Nixon unmatched by any other religious leader at that time and often leveraged this connection to influence foreign policy. By examining the political maneuvers of a man at the forefront of Evangelical Christianity, this paper aims to shed light on how a religious group sought to find, and found, its way into the White House, a platform that was used to nudge diplomatic decisions towards the Calvary.
Eavan Boland and Paula Meehan : Irish Voices of the Past

Subjects: Irish Literature

description: History, myth, exile, identity—for generations those have been the themes of Irish poetry, an Irish poetry written almost exclusively by male poets. As women moved in to claim a voice the themes were often the same, though reworked in essential ways. The key to that reworking, the pivot for an Irish women’s poetry, was the development of a female poetic identity. Eavan Boland led the way. In particular, Boland’s struggles as the first prominent female poet of modern Irish Literature emphasize a search for self-identity. At the forefront of this movement and a precedent for those around her, she establishes themes that pave the way for Irish women writers. With Boland, comes a hopeful recovery of the contemporary female literary experience, with the perspective and approach towards self-identity endlessly evolving over time with each new poet. Inspired by Boland, but a generation younger, Paula Meehan explores similar themes of female constraint, yet raises her own distinctive concerns, in particular the division of male and female roles and generational conflict, exploring what is real and ordinary.

description: Technical limitations have prevented understanding of how growth factor signals are encoded in distinct activity patterns of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway, and how this is altered by oncogenic pathway mutations. We introduce a kinetic, single-cell framework for precise calculations of PI3K-specific information transfer for different growth factors. This features live-cell imaging of PI3K/AKT activity reporters and multiplexed CyTOF measurements of PI3K/AKT and RAS/ERK signaling markers over time. Using this framework, we found that the PIK3CAH1047R oncogene was not a simple, constitutive activator of the pathway as often presented. Dose-dependent expression of PIK3CAH1047R in human cervical cancer and induced pluripotent stem cells corrupted the fidelity of growth factor-induced information transfer, with preferential amplification of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling responses compared to insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and insulin receptor signaling. PIK3CAH1047R did not only shift these responses to a higher mean but also enhanced signaling heterogeneity. We conclude that oncogenic PIK3CAH1047R corrupts information transfer in a growth factor-dependent manner and suggest new opportunities for tuning of receptor-specific PI3K pathway outputs for therapeutic benefit.

description: L’étude doctorale présentée dans cet article s’appuie sur un double cadre théorique. D’une part, elle définit la compréhension textuelle comme un parcours interprétatif des lecteur·rices autour de la construction de la signification d’un texte. Il s’agit d’un récit d’une énigme criminelle, l’album de jeunesse L’indien de la Tour Eiffel (Bernard & Roca, 2004). D’autre part, elle étudie une forme particulière d’évaluation formative s’intégrant, sans rupture temporelle, aux activités d’apprentissage des élèves à propos de ce récit. Cette évaluation est conceptualisée en termes « d’évaluation-régulation interactive située », associée à une participation guidée qui a pour but de soutenir l’autorégulation des élèves (âgés de 11-12 ans). L’étude présentée porte sur la première leçon d’une séquence d’enseignement autour de l’album susmentionné. La leçon est donnée par un enseignant du canton de Genève en Suisse. Elle vise à étayer l’entrée des élèves dans le récit, plus particulièrement par le moyen de six tâches mises en place par l’enseignant. Les résultats présentent cinq structures de participation guidée qui caractérisent les processus dialogiques de l’évaluation-régulation interactive, plus spécifiquement les interventions de l’enseignant auprès des élèves et les interactions collectives avec l’ensemble de la classe à propos de ces six tâches.

description: Recent progress in astrophysical hydromagnetic turbulence is being reviewed. The physical ideas behind the now widely accepted Goldreich--Sridhar model and its extension to compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence are introduced. Implications for cosmic ray diffusion and acceleration is being discussed. Dynamo-generated magnetic fields with and without helicity are contrasted against each other. Certain turbulent transport processes are being modified and often suppressed by anisotropy and inhomogeneities of the turbulence, while others are being produced by such properties, which can lead to new large-scale instabilities of the turbulent medium. Applications of various such processes to astrophysical systems are being considered.

description: A semi-measure is a generalization of a probability measure obtained by relaxing the additivity requirement to super-additivity. We introduce and study several randomness notions for left-c.e. semi-measures, a natural class of effectively approximable semi-measures induced by Turing functionals. Among the randomness notions we consider, the generalization of weak 2-randomness to left-c.e. semi-measures is the most compelling, as it best reflects Martin-Löf randomness with respect to a computable measure. Additionally, we analyze a question of Shen, a positive answer to which would also have yielded a reasonable randomness notion for left-c.e. semi-measures. Unfortunately though, we find a negative answer, except for some special cases.

MEASURING DISTORTION STRENGTH WITH DEWARPING DIFFUSION MODELS IN ANOMALY DETECTION
Creators: anonymous anonymous
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2025

description: Surface anomaly detection aims to localize abnormal regions in images. A representative approach is the reconstruction-based method, which detect defects via reconstruction errors using generative models trained on normal images. However, these methods cannot directly estimate local distortion levels, which are commonly used for products made of metal or resin. To address this issue, we propose DiffuDewarp, a novel method that directly estimates local distortions. Our approach defines a pseudo-deformation defect generation process as a new diffusion process based on localized warping. Experiments on the MVTec dataset demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art techniques in categories where local deformations are the main cause of defects. We will release our code upon acceptance.

The elastic response is given by the isotropic small strain stiffness model IC.G3S by Taborda et al. (2016). A reversal detection algorithm within a cyclic nonlinear elastic framework allows for the generation of hysteresis (and energy dissipation).

description: As we enter the twenty-seventh year of the Helvidius Group, I am pleased to write that the Journal of Politics & Society continues to provide a unique platform for undergraduate scholarship in the social sciences. I believe the Journal’s confidence in the contributions of undergraduates to academic literature is justified by the original and rigorous papers found on this journal’s pages and on our website.
Over the last few years, the Journal has undergone a pronounced shift away from domestic concerns and towards an emphasis on international matters. While a cursory glance at the journal’s table of contents might suggest a return to focus on the United States, this is not exactly the case. Many papers address far-flung policy issues, while the U.S. papers do not generally look inward; instead, they concern themselves with the interaction of the United States with the rest of the world.

description: In fall 2015, with leadership from the Tennessee Board of Regents, the 13 community colleges in Tennessee implemented corequisite remediation at scale for math, writing, and reading. Under the corequisite model, academically unprepared students take entry-level college courses simultaneously with remedial academic support. The corequisite model differs from the conventional approach in which remediation is provided as a prerequisite to college-level coursework.

This brief examines the cost-effectiveness of the corequisite remediation model as it was implemented in Tennessee in fall 2015. Using transcript data and information on costs, the authors estimate the net effect of corequisite remediation on passing the initial college-level math and writing sequences and find that there are gains in cost-effectiveness in moving from prerequisite to corequisite remediation. Based on these Tennessee data, the success rates from corequisite remediation indicate a more efficient instructional system for students who enter college academically underprepared.

description: Collective impact is an increasingly popular approach to addressing persistent social problems, but such strategic, cross-sector collaboration is challenging. This brief draws on the experiences of five committed collective impact communities participating in the Ford Foundation’s Corridors to College Success initiative to expose some of the practical obstacles to translating the theory of collective impact into action.

The authors highlight three major challenges faced by Corridors stakeholders: developing a shared understanding of collective impact work, maintaining organizational competencies in a coordinated system, and using data to support collective impact work. They also consider whether the incentives for collective impact are sufficient to drive the work despite the funding and capacity constraints faced by participating organizations. Thus, the brief provides a lens for understanding why well-intentioned collective impact efforts may not take root.

description: Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) represent the next wave in miniaturizing various electrical and mechanical devices used in a variety of fields, such as physics, biology, and engineering. In particular, NEMS devices have high surface area to volume ratios, low power consumption, low mass, and extremely small footprints. These properties allow NEMS to explore more fundamental regimes of matter. Current NEMS mass spectrometry advancements have only utilized doubly-clamped beams and cantilevers. However to expand the measurement capabilities of NEMS mass spectrometry, we utilize a circular membrane geometry in order to build upon the existing measurements in 1 spatial dimension to measure mass spatially in 2-dimensions. Furthermore, membranes should provide a larger potential mass dynamic range. For this experiment, we utilize circular piezoelectric membranes of aluminum nitride and molybdenum stacks. For mass deposition, we utilize a technique known as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI), which focuses a pulsed UV laser onto the desired sample embedded in a corresponding matrix. The energy causes a plume of particles to desorb off the sample and towards the device. As a particle lands on the device, we are able to deduce its mass from the shift in its resonant frequency. In particular we need to measure the first three resonant frequencies, since the frequency shifts also depend on the location the particle landed on the device. Here we show the viability of our detection setup, mass deposition setup, and our mass deposition results.

description: In this paper we describe a new brute force algorithm for building the $k$-Nearest Neighbor Graph ($k$-NNG). The $k$-NNG algorithm has many applications in areas such as machine learning, bio-informatics, and clustering analysis. While there are very efficient algorithms for data of low dimensions, for high dimensional data the brute force search is the best algorithm. There are two main parts to the algorithm: the first part is finding the distances between the input vectors which may be formulated as a matrix multiplication problem. The second is the selection of the $k$-NNs for each of the query vectors. For the second part, we describe a novel graphics processing unit (GPU) -based multi-select algorithm based on quick sort. Our optimization makes clever use of warp voting functions available on the latest GPUs along with use-controlled cache. Benchmarks show significant improvement over state-of-the-art implementations of the $k$-NN search on GPUs.

description: Background
Although dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) is performed in heart transplant patients, the safety profile of atropine administration in DSE in this setting is unclear.

Methods and Results
We identified heart transplant patients who received atropine during DSE from January 1984 to August 2011 at our institution and compared them with a propensity-scored matched control group of heart transplant patients who underwent DSE without atropine. Adverse events were defined as significant arrhythmias (sinus arrest, Mobitz type II heart block, complete heart block, ventricular tachycardia, or ventricular fibrillation), hypotension requiring hospitalization, syncope or presyncope, myocardial infarction, and death. Forty-five heart transplant patients (median age 62 years, 82% male) received 0.2–1 mg atropine during DSE. Of these, 1 patient (2.2%) developed temporary complete heart block. No adverse events were identified in the control group of 154 patients who received dobutamine without atropine.

Conclusions
Our findings suggest that complete heart block can occur infrequently with the administration of atropine in heart transplant patients undergoing DSE. Therefore, patients should be appropriately monitored for these adverse events during and after DSE.
