Methods like DNA analysis, Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, and Direct Analysis in Real Time (DART) mass spectrometry complement the long-established wood anatomical assessment of cell and tissue morphology. However, most of these methods have some limitations such as high costs, the need for skilled experts for data interpretation, and the lack of good datasets for professional reference. Therefore, most of these methods, and certainly the wood anatomical assessment, may benefit from tools based on Artificial Intelligence. In this paper, we apply two transfer learning techniques with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to a multi-view Congolese wood species dataset including sections from different orientations and viewed at different microscopic magnifications. We explore two feature extraction methods in detail, namely Global Average Pooling (GAP) and Random Encoding of Aggregated Deep Activation Maps (RADAM), for efficient and accurate wood species identification. Our results indicate superior accuracy on diverse datasets and anatomical sections, surpassing the results of other methods. Our proposal represents a significant advancement in wood species identification, offering a robust tool to support the conservation of forest ecosystems and promote sustainable forestry practices.", "doi": null, "authors": [ "Kallil M.

The dried GO deposits were laser treated in reduced oxygen environment to prepare a reduced graphene oxide-wood composite (rGO-wood). The rGO substrate of the composite was sandwiched between 2 wood sheets which were glued using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to give a stable membrane. Fabricated membranes improved the Allura red rejection from 8.29 $\\pm$ 0.69% in the controls (sandwiched wood sheets without rGO) to 93.14 $\\pm$ 1.31% in the 1 mL total rGO composites.

The correlation coefficient (r) between the GO volume and rejection was 0.94 suggesting that the GO treatments provided some control over the transport of molecules through the membrane. The correlation coefficient between wood thickness, and Allura red rejection shows that the wood sheets did not influence the rejection.

Transparent wood (TW) is an emerging biocomposite in this category, which adds optical function to the structural properties of wood. Nano- and microscale inhomogeneities in composition, structure and at interfaces strongly affect light transmission and haze. While interface manipulation can tailor TW properties, the realization of optically clear wood requires detailed understanding of light-TW interaction mechanisms. Here we show how material scattering and absorption coefficients can be extracted from a combination of experimental spectroscopic measurements and a photon diffusion model. Contributions from different length scales can thus be deciphered and quantified. It is shown that forward scattering dominates haze in TW, primarily caused by refractive index mismatch between the wood substrate and the polymer phase. Rayleigh scattering from the wood cell wall and absorption from residual lignin have minor effects on transmittance, but the former affects haze.

Through the conversion of raw signal data to spectrogram, source identification can be framed as an object detection problem.

At these frequencies, one or more grazing Rayleigh waves exist, and the lattice sum for the quasi-periodic Green function ceases to exist. We present a modification of this sum by adding two types of terms to it. The first type adds linear combinations of \"shifted\" Green functions, ensuring that the spatial singularities introduced by these terms are located below the grating and therefore outside of the physical domain. With suitable coefficient choices these terms annihilate the growing contributions in the original lattice sum and yield algebraic convergence. Convergence of arbitrarily high order can be obtained by including sufficiently many shifts. The second type of added terms are quasi-periodic plane wave solutions of the Helmholtz equation which reinstate certain necessary grazing modes without leading to blow-up at Wood anomalies. Using the new quasi-periodic Green function, we establish, for the first time, that the Dirichlet problem of scattering by a smooth doubly periodic scattering surface at a Wood frequency is uniquely solvable. We also present an efficient high-order numerical method based on the this new Green function for the problem of scattering by doubly periodic three-dimensional surfaces at and around Wood frequencies.

Furthermore, alternative techniques, including NIR spectroscopy, electrical capacitance, X-rays, and microwaves, have demonstrated potential; nevertheless, they are still constrained by issues related to portability, precision, and the expense of the required equipment.

It aims to optimize sludge content and particle size to enhance board properties-a novel approach to waste management in the wood composites industry. Through systematic variation of sludge content (0-25%) and particle size (< 0.5 to > 2 mm), we assessed the mechanical and physical properties such as internal bond strength (IB), modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), water absorption (WA), and thickness swelling (TS). The findings indicate that incorporating paper sludge at moderate levels (5-15%) with optimized particle sizes (< 1 mm) significantly improves the mechanical properties of the particleboard, including increased IB, MOR, and MOE while reducing WA and TS. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) further supported these results, revealing that higher-density boards with enhanced mechanical properties absorb less water, highlighting the interrelationship between structural integrity and moisture resistance. The PCA also identified thickness swelling as an independent factor, suggesting that while mechanical properties can be optimized, additional strategies are needed to control swelling.

The proportion of wood particles in recycling was 0, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 parts by weight of the manufactured particleboard. Mechanical property tests were conducted: modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR), internal bond (IB), screw withdrawal resistance (SWR), and physical properties: density profile (DP), thickness swelling (TS) after water immersion, water absorption (WA), as well as formaldehyde emission and total volatile organic compound (TVOCs) tests. The research indicates a significant potential for utilizing wood from this sector of the wood industry, particularly considering variants with a higher proportion of recycled wood. MOR and MOE results are most promising for variants above 50 parts by weight of recycled wood. Based on the results obtained, it is clear that the production process should be improved or the raw material modified to enhance the internal bonding of particleboard, as these results were the weakest.

Several board variants were produced, differing in the position of the nonwoven layers in the composite structure. The composites were evaluated for modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), internal bond, and screw withdrawal resistance, among others.

The key component is a newly proposed latent-variable Gaussian process (LVGP) model through which different classes of microstructures are mapped into a low-dimensional continuous latent space. It provides an interpretable distance metric between classes and captures their effects on the homogenized stiffness tensors. By introducing latent vectors as design variables, a differentiable transition of stiffness matrix between classes can be easily achieved with an analytical gradient. After integrating LVGP with the density-based TO, an efficient data-driven cellular composite optimization process is developed to enable concurrent exploration of microstructure concepts and the associated volume fractions for natural frequency optimization.

The second natural frequency is known to be nonlinear in temperature, and this will serve as the main focal point of this work. Cointegration is a method of normalising time series data with respect to one another - often strongly-correlated time series. Cointegration is used in this paper to remove effects from Environmental and Operational Variations, by cointegrating the first four natural frequencies for the Z24 Bridge data. The temperature effects on the natural frequency data are clearly visible within the data, and it is desirable, for the purposes of structural health monitoring, that these effects are removed. The univariate time series are embedded in higher-dimensional space, such that interesting topologies are formed. Topological data analysis is used to analyse the raw time series, and the cointegrated equivalents. A standard topological data analysis pipeline is enacted, where simplicial complexes are constructed from the embedded point clouds. Topological properties are then calculated from the simplicial complexes; such as the persistent homology. The persistent homology is then analysed, to determine the topological structure of all the time series.", "doi": null, "authors": [ "Tristan Gowdridge", "Elizabeth Cross", "Nikolaos Dervilis", "Keith Worden" ], "journal": null, "tags": [ "math.AT", "cs.LG", "cs.SY", "eess.SY" ], "comments": "arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2209.05484,\n arXiv:2209.05134", "pdf_url": "http://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.11727v1", "engine": "arxiv", "parsed_url": [ "http", "arxiv.org", "/abs/2212.11727v1", "", "", "" ], "engines": [ "arxiv" ], "positions": [ 8 ], "score": 0.125, "category": "science" }, { "template": "paper.html", "url": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/39165971", "title": "Branch spiral beam harvester for uni-directional ultra-low frequency excitations.", "content": "In recent years, there has been a growing interest in piezoelectric energy harvesting systems, particularly for their potential to recharge or replace batteries in energy-efficient electronic devices and wireless sensor networks. Nonetheless, the conventional linear piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEH) face limitations in ultra-low frequency vibrations (1-10 Hz) due to their narrow operating bandwidth and higher resonance frequencies. To address this, researchers explored compact shaped geometries, with spiral PEH being one such design to lower resonance frequencies by reducing structural stiffness. While trying to achieve this lower resonance frequency, spiral designs overlooked that they were spreading the stress across the structure. This was a significant drawback because it reduced the structure's ability to stress the piezoelectric transducer. The issue remains unaddressed, limiting the power generation of spiral beam harvesters. Furthermore, spiral structures also fail to broaden the operating bandwidth, posing additional constraints on their effectiveness. This study introduces a novel solution - the \"branch spiral beam harvester,\" combining the benefits of both spiral and branch beam designs. The integration of the branch beam concept into the spiral structure aimed to broaden the effective frequency range and establish a concentrated stress area for the placement of the piezoelectric transducer. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was employed to assess operating bandwidth and stress distribution, while experimental studies evaluated voltage and power generation. Once the workability was confirmed, a statistical optimisation method was introduced to tailor the harvester for specific frequencies in the ultra-low frequency range. Results indicated that the branch spiral beam harvester exhibits a wider operating bandwidth with six natural frequencies in the ultra-low frequency range. It harnessed significantly higher output voltages and power compared to conventional linear PEH. This innovation presents a promising advancement in piezoelectric energy harvesting, offering improved performance without the need for proof masses or additional accessories.", "journal": "Heliyon", "issn": [ "2405-8440" ], "authors": [ "Iresha Erangani Piyarathna", "Mustafa Ucgul", "Charles Lemckert", "Zi Sheng Tang", "Yee Yan Lim" ], "doi": "10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e34776", "publishedDate": "2024-07-16T00:00:00", "engine": "pubmed", "parsed_url": [ "https", "www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov", "/pubmed/39165971", "", "", "" ], "engines": [ "pubmed" ], "positions": [ 9 ], "score": 0.1111111111111111, "category": "science" }, { "template": "paper.html", "url": "http://arxiv.org/abs/2310.18952v1", "title": "Exploring the phase diagrams of multidimensional Kuramoto models", "publishedDate": "2023-10-29T09:46:33", "content": "The multidimensional Kuramoto model describes the synchronization dynamics of particles moving on the surface of D-dimensional spheres, generalizing the original model where particles were characterized by a single phase. In this setup, particles are more easily represented by $D$-dimensional unit vectors than by $D-1$ spherical angles, allowing for the coupling constant to be extended to a coupling matrix acting on the vectors. As in the original Kuramoto model, each particle has a set of $D(D-1)/2$ natural frequencies, drawn from a distribution. The system has a large number of independent parameters, given by the average natural frequencies, the characteristic widths of their distributions plus $D^2$ constants of the coupling matrix. General phase diagrams, indicating regions in parameter space where the system exhibits different behaviors, are hard to derive analytically. Here we obtain the complete phase diagram for $D=2$ and Lorentzian distributions of natural frequencies using the Ott-Antonsen ansatz. We also explore the diagrams numerically for different distributions and some specific choices of parameters for $D=2$, $D=3$ and $D=4$. In all cases the system exhibits at most four different phases: disordered, static synchrony, rotation and active synchrony.

In such cases, a sensitivity analysis is often conducted, which investigates whether the observed association between treatment and outcome is due to effects caused by the treatment or it is due to hidden confounding. In general, a sensitivity analysis tries to infer the minimum amount of hidden biases needed in order to explain away the observed association between treatment and outcome, assuming that the treatment has no effect. If the needed bias is large, then the treatment is likely to have significant effects. The Rosenbaum sensitivity analysis is a modern approach for conducting sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies. It investigates what magnitude the maximum of the hidden biases from all matched sets needs to be in order to explain away the observed association, assuming that the treatment has no effect. However, such a sensitivity analysis can be overly conservative and pessimistic, especially when the investigators believe that some matched sets may have exceptionally large hidden biases. In this paper, we generalize Rosenbaum's framework to conduct sensitivity analysis on quantiles of hidden biases from all matched sets, which are more robust than the maximum. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis on all quantiles of hidden biases is simultaneously valid and is thus a free lunch added to the conventional sensitivity analysis. The proposed approach works for general outcomes, general matched studies and general test statistics. Finally, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis also works for bounded null hypotheses as long as the test statistic satisfies certain properties.

However, unmeasured confounding may exist and cannot be removed by matching. Therefore, a sensitivity analysis is typically needed to assess a causal conclusion's sensitivity to unmeasured confounding. Sensitivity analysis frameworks for binary exposures have been well-established for various matching designs and are commonly used in various studies. However, unlike the binary exposure case, there still lacks valid and general sensitivity analysis methods for continuous exposures, except in some special cases such as pair matching. To fill this gap in the binary outcome case, we develop a sensitivity analysis framework for general matching designs with continuous exposures and binary outcomes. First, we use probabilistic lattice theory to show our sensitivity analysis approach is finite-population-exact under Fisher's sharp null. Second, we prove a novel design sensitivity formula as a powerful tool for asymptotically evaluating the performance of our sensitivity analysis approach. Third, to allow effect heterogeneity with binary outcomes, we introduce a framework for conducting asymptotically exact inference and sensitivity analysis on generalized attributable effects with binary outcomes via mixed-integer programming. Fourth, for the continuous outcomes case, we show that conducting an asymptotically exact sensitivity analysis in matched observational studies when both the exposures and outcomes are continuous is generally NP-hard, except in some special cases such as pair matching.

We fill in this blank by establishing theoretical foundations and novel methodologies under a generalized Rosenbaum bounds sensitivity analysis framework. First, we present a criterion for assessing the validity of sensitivity analysis in matched observational studies with treatment doses and use that criterion to justify the necessity of incorporating the treatment dose information into sensitivity analysis through generalized Rosenbaum sensitivity bounds. We also generalize Rosenbaum's classic sensitivity parameter $\\Gamma$ to the non-binary treatment case and prove its sufficiency. Second, we study the asymptotic properties of sensitivity analysis by generalizing Rosenbaum's classic design sensitivity and Bahadur efficiency for testing Fisher's sharp null to the non-binary treatment case and deriving novel formulas for them.

Here, after reviewing the current available algorithms for reverse identification of miRNA-target pairs in plants, a case study was performed by using a newly established framework with adjustable parameters. In this workflow, integration of degradome and ARGONAUTE 1-enriched small RNA sequencing data was recommended to do a relatively comprehensive and reliable search. Besides, several computational algorithms such as BLAST, target plots and RNA secondary structure prediction were used. The results demonstrated the prevalent utility of the reversed approach for uncovering miRNA-target interactions in plants.", "journal": "Briefings in bioinformatics", "issn": [ "1477-4054" ], "authors": [ "Chaogang Shao", "Ming Chen", "Yijun Meng" ], "doi": "10.1093/bib/bbs040", "engine": "pubmed", "parsed_url": [ "https", "www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov", "/pubmed/22811545", "", "", "" ], "engines": [ "pubmed" ], "positions": [ 8 ], "score": 0.125, "category": "science" }, { "template": "paper.html", "url": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18452716", "title": "Modern tools for identification of nucleic acid-binding proteins.", "content": "Numerous biological mechanisms depend on nucleic acid--protein interactions.

Being motivated by these notions, for $p,q\\in[1,\\infty]$, we define the strict Dunford--Pettis property of order $p$ (the strict $DP_p$ property) and the sequential Dunford--Pettis property of order $(p,q)$ (the sequential $DP_{(p,q)}$ property).

However, inherent limitations, such as adaptability, adhesion, and conductivity, have presented challenges, thereby limiting the sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and stability of the physiological-electrode interface. In this study, we propose the concept of myelin sheath-inspired hydrogel epidermal electronics by incorporating numerous interpenetrating core-sheath-structured conductive nanofibers within a physically cross-linked polyelectrolyte network. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-coated sulfonated cellulose nanofibers (PEDOT:SCNFs) are synthesized through a simple solvent-catalyzed sulfonation process, followed by oxidative self-polymerization and ionic liquid (IL) shielding steps, achieving a low electrochemical impedance of 42 Ω. The physical associations within the composite hydrogel network include complexation, electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, hydrophobic interaction, and weak entanglements. These properties confer the hydrogel with high stretchability (770%), superconformability, self-adhesion (28 kPa on pigskin), and self-healing capabilities. By simulating the saltatory propagation effect of the nodes of Ranvier in the nervous system, the biomimetic hydrogel establishes high-fidelity epidermal electronic interfaces, offering benefits such as low interfacial contact impedance, significantly increased SNR (30 dB), as well as large-scale sensor array integration.

To create samples with aligned graphene/hBN, researchers often align edges of exfoliated flakes that appear straight in optical micrographs. However, graphene or hBN can cleave along either zig-zag or armchair lattice directions, introducing a [Formula: see text] ambiguity in the relative orientation of two flakes. By characterizing the crystal lattice orientation of exfoliated flakes prior to stacking using Raman and second-harmonic generation for graphene and hBN, respectively, we unambiguously align monolayer graphene to hBN at a near-[Formula: see text], not [Formula: see text], relative twist angle. We confirm this alignment by torsional force microscopy of the graphene/hBN moiré on an open-face stack, and then by cryogenic transport measurements, after full encapsulation with a second, nonaligned hBN layer.

Internationally, resale based property taxes are most common due to ease of implementation and the difficulty of establishing site values. In an Irish context, property valuations are currently based on comparison to recently sold neighbouring properties, however, this approach is limited by low property turnover. National property taxes based on property value, as opposed to site value, also act as a disincentive to improvement works due to the ensuing increased tax burden. In this article we develop a spatial hedonic regression model to separate the spatial and non-spatial contributions of property features to resale value. We mitigate the issue of low property turnover through geographic correlation, borrowing information across multiple property types and finishes. We investigate the impact of address mislabelling on predictive performance, where vendors erroneously supply a more affluent postcode, and evaluate the contribution of improvement works to increased values. Our flexible geo-spatial model outperforms all competitors across a number of different evaluation metrics, including the accuracy of both price prediction and associated uncertainty intervals.

This study aims to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of allocryptopine on various targets and potential mechanisms that have not been previously explored in the literature. Initially, we used MTT and LDH methods to evaluate the effects of allocryptopine on cell viability in BV-2 cells exposed to LPS-induced damage. Subsequently, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), other inflammatory mediators (Cox-2 and iNOS), and p38 MAPK genes and proteins through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Also, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on NF-κB proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p-p50, and p-p65) through ELISA assay. Molecular docking analyses were performed to investigate the potential binding of allocryptopine to target proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p50, p65, MKK3, MKK4, MKK6, p38, AP-1 (c-Jun and ATF2), IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, Cox-2, and iNOS) associated with the TLR4, NF-κB, and p38 MAPK pathways.

However, existing multiscale design methods for cellular composites are either computationally exhaustive or confined to a single class of microstructures. In this paper, we propose a data-driven topology optimization (TO) approach to enable the multiscale design of cellular structures with various choices of microstructure classes. The key component is a newly proposed latent-variable Gaussian process (LVGP) model through which different classes of microstructures are mapped into a low-dimensional continuous latent space. It provides an interpretable distance metric between classes and captures their effects on the homogenized stiffness tensors. By introducing latent vectors as design variables, a differentiable transition of stiffness matrix between classes can be easily achieved with an analytical gradient. After integrating LVGP with the density-based TO, an efficient data-driven cellular composite optimization process is developed to enable concurrent exploration of microstructure concepts and the associated volume fractions for natural frequency optimization. Examples reveal that the proposed cellular designs with multiclass microstructures achieve higher natural frequencies than both single-scale and single-class designs.

This study explores the potential of valorizing paper sludge by incorporating it into particleboard production. It aims to optimize sludge content and particle size to enhance board properties-a novel approach to waste management in the wood composites industry. Through systematic variation of sludge content (0-25%) and particle size (< 0.5 to > 2 mm), we assessed the mechanical and physical properties such as internal bond strength (IB), modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), water absorption (WA), and thickness swelling (TS). The findings indicate that incorporating paper sludge at moderate levels (5-15%) with optimized particle sizes (< 1 mm) significantly improves the mechanical properties of the particleboard, including increased IB, MOR, and MOE while reducing WA and TS. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) further supported these results, revealing that higher-density boards with enhanced mechanical properties absorb less water, highlighting the interrelationship between structural integrity and moisture resistance. The PCA also identified thickness swelling as an independent factor, suggesting that while mechanical properties can be optimized, additional strategies are needed to control swelling. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that up to 15% paper sludge can be effectively used in particleboard production without compromising quality, provided particle size is carefully controlled.

It investigates what magnitude the maximum of the hidden biases from all matched sets needs to be in order to explain away the observed association, assuming that the treatment has no effect. However, such a sensitivity analysis can be overly conservative and pessimistic, especially when the investigators believe that some matched sets may have exceptionally large hidden biases. In this paper, we generalize Rosenbaum's framework to conduct sensitivity analysis on quantiles of hidden biases from all matched sets, which are more robust than the maximum. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis on all quantiles of hidden biases is simultaneously valid and is thus a free lunch added to the conventional sensitivity analysis. The proposed approach works for general outcomes, general matched studies and general test statistics. Finally, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis also works for bounded null hypotheses as long as the test statistic satisfies certain properties.

However, unlike the binary exposure case, there still lacks valid and general sensitivity analysis methods for continuous exposures, except in some special cases such as pair matching. To fill this gap in the binary outcome case, we develop a sensitivity analysis framework for general matching designs with continuous exposures and binary outcomes.

We fill in this blank by establishing theoretical foundations and novel methodologies under a generalized Rosenbaum bounds sensitivity analysis framework. First, we present a criterion for assessing the validity of sensitivity analysis in matched observational studies with treatment doses and use that criterion to justify the necessity of incorporating the treatment dose information into sensitivity analysis through generalized Rosenbaum sensitivity bounds. We also generalize Rosenbaum's classic sensitivity parameter $\\Gamma$ to the non-binary treatment case and prove its sufficiency.

The findings indicate that incorporating paper sludge at moderate levels (5-15%) with optimized particle sizes (< 1 mm) significantly improves the mechanical properties of the particleboard, including increased IB, MOR, and MOE while reducing WA and TS. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) further supported these results, revealing that higher-density boards with enhanced mechanical properties absorb less water, highlighting the interrelationship between structural integrity and moisture resistance. The PCA also identified thickness swelling as an independent factor, suggesting that while mechanical properties can be optimized, additional strategies are needed to control swelling. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that up to 15% paper sludge can be effectively used in particleboard production without compromising quality, provided particle size is carefully controlled. This approach not only offers a sustainable solution for managing paper sludge but also contributes to the development of eco-friendly composite materials, aligning with circular economy principles.", "journal": "Scientific reports", "issn": [ "2045-2322" ], "authors": [ "Kian Mehrvan", "Mehdi Jonoobi", "Alireza Ashori", "Peyman Ahmadi" ], "doi": "10.1038/s41598-024-72905-y", "publishedDate": "2024-09-11T00:00:00", "engine": "pubmed", "parsed_url": [ "https", "www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov", "/pubmed/39277658", "", "", "" ], "engines": [ "pubmed" ], "positions": [ 4 ], "score": 0.25, "category": "science" }, { "template": "paper.html", "url": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/39275484", "title": "WD-1D-VGG19-FEA: An Efficient Wood Defect Elastic Modulus Predictive Model.", "content": "As a mature non-destructive testing technology, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy can effectively identify and distinguish the structural characteristics of wood.

Then, the nonlinear three-dimensional model of wood with defects was established by using the inverse image, and the finite element analysis was carried out to predict the elastic modulus of wood. In the experiment, 270 points were selected from each of the four regions of the wood, totaling 1080 sets of near-infrared data, and the 1D-VGG19 model was used for classification. The results showed that the identification accuracy of the knot area was 95.1%, the fiber deviation area was 92.7%, the transition area was 90.2%, the net wood area was 100%, and the average accuracy was 94.5%. The error range of the elastic modulus prediction of the three-dimensional model established by the VGG19 classification model in the finite element analysis is between 2% and 10%, the root mean square error (RMSE) is about 598. 2, and the coefficient of determination (R2) is 0. 91.

To create samples with aligned graphene/hBN, researchers often align edges of exfoliated flakes that appear straight in optical micrographs.

In this study, L. paracasei, L. plantarum, and P. pentosaceus fermentation on the IgE-/IgG-binding ability was determined by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), and the protein quality, amino acid profile, and color were systematically evaluated. The results showed that these LAB strains exhibited higher protein degradation ability, and the IgE reactivity reduction rate was 41.03%-60.00% and the IgG reduction rate was 29.86%-67.20%, respectively. Additionally, the nutritional value was improved obviously, and the color was altered significantly, which was conductive to develop dairy products. These findings provided a theoretical foundation for the development of hypoallergenic dairy products.

The highly efficient synthesis of a wide range of unprecedented thietanes from intrinsically highly unstable thiocabonyls, such as thioaldehydes and aliphatic thioketones, was made possible by the multitasking capability of pyrenacyl sulfides, as a source of thiocarbonyl substrates and as precursors of 1-acetylpyrene, which acts as the photocatalyst for the thia-Paternò-Büchi reaction.

Likewise, the d/p mixing results in tunable redox properties at low potential due to the raising of the HOMO level, and making those compounds particularly suited to achieve redox switching of various properties associated to the acetylide conjugated ligand, such as photochromism, luminescence or magnetism, for charge transport at the molecular level and in field effect transistor devices, or charge storage for memory devices.

Internationally, resale based property taxes are most common due to ease of implementation and the difficulty of establishing site values. In an Irish context, property valuations are currently based on comparison to recently sold neighbouring properties, however, this approach is limited by low property turnover. National property taxes based on property value, as opposed to site value, also act as a disincentive to improvement works due to the ensuing increased tax burden. In this article we develop a spatial hedonic regression model to separate the spatial and non-spatial contributions of property features to resale value. We mitigate the issue of low property turnover through geographic correlation, borrowing information across multiple property types and finishes. We investigate the impact of address mislabelling on predictive performance, where vendors erroneously supply a more affluent postcode, and evaluate the contribution of improvement works to increased values. Our flexible geo-spatial model outperforms all competitors across a number of different evaluation metrics, including the accuracy of both price prediction and associated uncertainty intervals. While our models are applied in an Irish context, the ability to accurately value properties in markets with low property turnover and to quantify the value contributions of specific property features has widespread application.

This study aims to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of allocryptopine on various targets and potential mechanisms that have not been previously explored in the literature. Initially, we used MTT and LDH methods to evaluate the effects of allocryptopine on cell viability in BV-2 cells exposed to LPS-induced damage. Subsequently, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), other inflammatory mediators (Cox-2 and iNOS), and p38 MAPK genes and proteins through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Also, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on NF-κB proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p-p50, and p-p65) through ELISA assay. Molecular docking analyses were performed to investigate the potential binding of allocryptopine to target proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p50, p65, MKK3, MKK4, MKK6, p38, AP-1 (c-Jun and ATF2), IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, Cox-2, and iNOS) associated with the TLR4, NF-κB, and p38 MAPK pathways.

In such cases, a sensitivity analysis is often conducted, which investigates whether the observed association between treatment and outcome is due to effects caused by the treatment or it is due to hidden confounding. In general, a sensitivity analysis tries to infer the minimum amount of hidden biases needed in order to explain away the observed association between treatment and outcome, assuming that the treatment has no effect. If the needed bias is large, then the treatment is likely to have significant effects. The Rosenbaum sensitivity analysis is a modern approach for conducting sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies. It investigates what magnitude the maximum of the hidden biases from all matched sets needs to be in order to explain away the observed association, assuming that the treatment has no effect. However, such a sensitivity analysis can be overly conservative and pessimistic, especially when the investigators believe that some matched sets may have exceptionally large hidden biases. In this paper, we generalize Rosenbaum's framework to conduct sensitivity analysis on quantiles of hidden biases from all matched sets, which are more robust than the maximum. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis on all quantiles of hidden biases is simultaneously valid and is thus a free lunch added to the conventional sensitivity analysis. The proposed approach works for general outcomes, general matched studies and general test statistics. Finally, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis also works for bounded null hypotheses as long as the test statistic satisfies certain properties.

However, unmeasured confounding may exist and cannot be removed by matching. Therefore, a sensitivity analysis is typically needed to assess a causal conclusion's sensitivity to unmeasured confounding. Sensitivity analysis frameworks for binary exposures have been well-established for various matching designs and are commonly used in various studies. However, unlike the binary exposure case, there still lacks valid and general sensitivity analysis methods for continuous exposures, except in some special cases such as pair matching. To fill this gap in the binary outcome case, we develop a sensitivity analysis framework for general matching designs with continuous exposures and binary outcomes. First, we use probabilistic lattice theory to show our sensitivity analysis approach is finite-population-exact under Fisher's sharp null. Second, we prove a novel design sensitivity formula as a powerful tool for asymptotically evaluating the performance of our sensitivity analysis approach. Third, to allow effect heterogeneity with binary outcomes, we introduce a framework for conducting asymptotically exact inference and sensitivity analysis on generalized attributable effects with binary outcomes via mixed-integer programming. Fourth, for the continuous outcomes case, we show that conducting an asymptotically exact sensitivity analysis in matched observational studies when both the exposures and outcomes are continuous is generally NP-hard, except in some special cases such as pair matching.

We fill in this blank by establishing theoretical foundations and novel methodologies under a generalized Rosenbaum bounds sensitivity analysis framework. First, we present a criterion for assessing the validity of sensitivity analysis in matched observational studies with treatment doses and use that criterion to justify the necessity of incorporating the treatment dose information into sensitivity analysis through generalized Rosenbaum sensitivity bounds. We also generalize Rosenbaum's classic sensitivity parameter $\\Gamma$ to the non-binary treatment case and prove its sufficiency.

The key component is a newly proposed latent-variable Gaussian process (LVGP) model through which different classes of microstructures are mapped into a low-dimensional continuous latent space. It provides an interpretable distance metric between classes and captures their effects on the homogenized stiffness tensors. By introducing latent vectors as design variables, a differentiable transition of stiffness matrix between classes can be easily achieved with an analytical gradient. After integrating LVGP with the density-based TO, an efficient data-driven cellular composite optimization process is developed to enable concurrent exploration of microstructure concepts and the associated volume fractions for natural frequency optimization. Examples reveal that the proposed cellular designs with multiclass microstructures achieve higher natural frequencies than both single-scale and single-class designs.

To assess the random vibration properties of a composite sandwich panel with a Tri-Chi honeycomb core (CSP-TCH), a two-dimensional equivalent Reissner-Mindlin model (2D-ERM) was created using the variational asymptotic method. The precision of the 2D-ERM in free and random vibration analysis was confirmed through numerical simulations employing 3D finite element analysis, encompassing PSD curves and RMS responses. Furthermore, the effects of selecting the model class were quantified through dynamic numerical examples. Modal analysis revealed that the relative error of the first eight natural frequencies predicted by the 2D-ERM consistently remained below 7%, with the modal cloud demonstrating high reliability. The PSD curves and their RMS values closely aligned with 3D finite element results under various boundary conditions, with a maximum error below 5%. Key factors influencing the vibration characteristics included the ligament-rib angle of the core layer and layup modes of the composite facesheets, while the rib-to-ligament thickness ratio and the aspect ratio exert minimal influence. The impact of the ligament-rib angle on the vibration properties primarily stems from the significant shift in the core layer's Poisson's ratio, transitioning from negative to positive.

In this setup, particles are more easily represented by $D$-dimensional unit vectors than by $D-1$ spherical angles, allowing for the coupling constant to be extended to a coupling matrix acting on the vectors. As in the original Kuramoto model, each particle has a set of $D(D-1)/2$ natural frequencies, drawn from a distribution. The system has a large number of independent parameters, given by the average natural frequencies, the characteristic widths of their distributions plus $D^2$ constants of the coupling matrix. General phase diagrams, indicating regions in parameter space where the system exhibits different behaviors, are hard to derive analytically. Here we obtain the complete phase diagram for $D=2$ and Lorentzian distributions of natural frequencies using the Ott-Antonsen ansatz. We also explore the diagrams numerically for different distributions and some specific choices of parameters for $D=2$, $D=3$ and $D=4$. In all cases the system exhibits at most four different phases: disordered, static synchrony, rotation and active synchrony.

Nonetheless, the conventional linear piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEH) face limitations in ultra-low frequency vibrations (1-10 Hz) due to their narrow operating bandwidth and higher resonance frequencies. To address this, researchers explored compact shaped geometries, with spiral PEH being one such design to lower resonance frequencies by reducing structural stiffness. While trying to achieve this lower resonance frequency, spiral designs overlooked that they were spreading the stress across the structure. This was a significant drawback because it reduced the structure's ability to stress the piezoelectric transducer. The issue remains unaddressed, limiting the power generation of spiral beam harvesters. Furthermore, spiral structures also fail to broaden the operating bandwidth, posing additional constraints on their effectiveness. This study introduces a novel solution - the \"branch spiral beam harvester,\" combining the benefits of both spiral and branch beam designs. The integration of the branch beam concept into the spiral structure aimed to broaden the effective frequency range and establish a concentrated stress area for the placement of the piezoelectric transducer. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was employed to assess operating bandwidth and stress distribution, while experimental studies evaluated voltage and power generation. Once the workability was confirmed, a statistical optimisation method was introduced to tailor the harvester for specific frequencies in the ultra-low frequency range. Results indicated that the branch spiral beam harvester exhibits a wider operating bandwidth with six natural frequencies in the ultra-low frequency range. It harnessed significantly higher output voltages and power compared to conventional linear PEH.

We address this open problem by studying the Synchrony Alignment Function (SAF), which is an objective measure for the synchronization properties of a network of heterogeneous oscillators with given natural frequencies.

However, the stochasticity of operational systems and the lack of forcing information can lead to inconsistent results. Quantifying the uncertainty of the recovered modal parameters through OMA is therefore of significant value. In this article, a new perspective on Bayesian OMA is proposed: a Bayesian stochastic subspace identification (SSI) algorithm. Distinct from existing approaches to Bayesian OMA, a hierarchical probabilistic model is embedded at the core of covariance-driven SSI. Through substitution of canonical correlation analysis with a Bayesian equivalent, posterior distributions over the modal properties are obtained. Two inference schemes are presented for the proposed Bayesian formulation: Markov Chain Monte Carlo and variational Bayes. Two case studies are then explored. The first is benchmark study using data from a simulated, multi degree-of-freedom, linear system. Following application of Bayesian SSI, it is shown that the same posterior is targeted and recovered by both inference schemes, with good agreement between the posterior mean and the conventional SSI result. The second study applies the variational form to data obtained from an in-service structure: The Z24 bridge. The results of this study are presented at single model orders, and then using a stabilisation diagram. The recovered posterior uncertainty is presented and compared to the classic SSI result.

Initially, we used MTT and LDH methods to evaluate the effects of allocryptopine on cell viability in BV-2 cells exposed to LPS-induced damage. Subsequently, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), other inflammatory mediators (Cox-2 and iNOS), and p38 MAPK genes and proteins through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Also, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on NF-κB proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p-p50, and p-p65) through ELISA assay. Molecular docking analyses were performed to investigate the potential binding of allocryptopine to target proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p50, p65, MKK3, MKK4, MKK6, p38, AP-1 (c-Jun and ATF2), IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, Cox-2, and iNOS) associated with the TLR4, NF-κB, and p38 MAPK pathways.

In such cases, a sensitivity analysis is often conducted, which investigates whether the observed association between treatment and outcome is due to effects caused by the treatment or it is due to hidden confounding. In general, a sensitivity analysis tries to infer the minimum amount of hidden biases needed in order to explain away the observed association between treatment and outcome, assuming that the treatment has no effect. If the needed bias is large, then the treatment is likely to have significant effects. The Rosenbaum sensitivity analysis is a modern approach for conducting sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies. It investigates what magnitude the maximum of the hidden biases from all matched sets needs to be in order to explain away the observed association, assuming that the treatment has no effect. However, such a sensitivity analysis can be overly conservative and pessimistic, especially when the investigators believe that some matched sets may have exceptionally large hidden biases. In this paper, we generalize Rosenbaum's framework to conduct sensitivity analysis on quantiles of hidden biases from all matched sets, which are more robust than the maximum. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis on all quantiles of hidden biases is simultaneously valid and is thus a free lunch added to the conventional sensitivity analysis. The proposed approach works for general outcomes, general matched studies and general test statistics. Finally, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis also works for bounded null hypotheses as long as the test statistic satisfies certain properties.

Therefore, a sensitivity analysis is typically needed to assess a causal conclusion's sensitivity to unmeasured confounding.

However, unlike the binary exposure case, there still lacks valid and general sensitivity analysis methods for continuous exposures, except in some special cases such as pair matching. To fill this gap in the binary outcome case, we develop a sensitivity analysis framework for general matching designs with continuous exposures and binary outcomes. First, we use probabilistic lattice theory to show our sensitivity analysis approach is finite-population-exact under Fisher's sharp null. Second, we prove a novel design sensitivity formula as a powerful tool for asymptotically evaluating the performance of our sensitivity analysis approach. Third, to allow effect heterogeneity with binary outcomes, we introduce a framework for conducting asymptotically exact inference and sensitivity analysis on generalized attributable effects with binary outcomes via mixed-integer programming. Fourth, for the continuous outcomes case, we show that conducting an asymptotically exact sensitivity analysis in matched observational studies when both the exposures and outcomes are continuous is generally NP-hard, except in some special cases such as pair matching.

We fill in this blank by establishing theoretical foundations and novel methodologies under a generalized Rosenbaum bounds sensitivity analysis framework. First, we present a criterion for assessing the validity of sensitivity analysis in matched observational studies with treatment doses and use that criterion to justify the necessity of incorporating the treatment dose information into sensitivity analysis through generalized Rosenbaum sensitivity bounds. We also generalize Rosenbaum's classic sensitivity parameter $\\Gamma$ to the non-binary treatment case and prove its sufficiency. Second, we study the asymptotic properties of sensitivity analysis by generalizing Rosenbaum's classic design sensitivity and Bahadur efficiency for testing Fisher's sharp null to the non-binary treatment case and deriving novel formulas for them.

In such cases, a sensitivity analysis is often conducted, which investigates whether the observed association between treatment and outcome is due to effects caused by the treatment or it is due to hidden confounding. In general, a sensitivity analysis tries to infer the minimum amount of hidden biases needed in order to explain away the observed association between treatment and outcome, assuming that the treatment has no effect. If the needed bias is large, then the treatment is likely to have significant effects. The Rosenbaum sensitivity analysis is a modern approach for conducting sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies. It investigates what magnitude the maximum of the hidden biases from all matched sets needs to be in order to explain away the observed association, assuming that the treatment has no effect. However, such a sensitivity analysis can be overly conservative and pessimistic, especially when the investigators believe that some matched sets may have exceptionally large hidden biases. In this paper, we generalize Rosenbaum's framework to conduct sensitivity analysis on quantiles of hidden biases from all matched sets, which are more robust than the maximum. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis on all quantiles of hidden biases is simultaneously valid and is thus a free lunch added to the conventional sensitivity analysis. The proposed approach works for general outcomes, general matched studies and general test statistics. Finally, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis also works for bounded null hypotheses as long as the test statistic satisfies certain properties.

Unlike the binary treatment case, although widely needed in practice, sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies with treatment doses (i.e., non-binary treatments such as ordinal treatments or continuous treatments) still lacks solid foundations and valid methodologies. We fill in this blank by establishing theoretical foundations and novel methodologies under a generalized Rosenbaum bounds sensitivity analysis framework. First, we present a criterion for assessing the validity of sensitivity analysis in matched observational studies with treatment doses and use that criterion to justify the necessity of incorporating the treatment dose information into sensitivity analysis through generalized Rosenbaum sensitivity bounds. We also generalize Rosenbaum's classic sensitivity parameter $\\Gamma$ to the non-binary treatment case and prove its sufficiency. Second, we study the asymptotic properties of sensitivity analysis by generalizing Rosenbaum's classic design sensitivity and Bahadur efficiency for testing Fisher's sharp null to the non-binary treatment case and deriving novel formulas for them. Our theoretical results showed the importance of appropriately incorporating the treatment dose into a test, which is an intrinsic distinction with the binary treatment case. Third, for testing Neyman's weak null (i.e., null sample average treatment effect), we propose the first valid sensitivity analysis procedure for matching with treatment dose through generalizing an existing optimization-based sensitivity analysis for the binary treatment case, built on the generalized Rosenbaum sensitivity bounds and large-scale mixed integer programming.", "doi": null, "authors": [ "Siyu Heng", "Hyunseung Kang" ], "journal": null, "tags": [ "stat.ME", "math.ST", "stat.TH" ], "comments": null, "pdf_url": "http://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.14152v2", "engine": "arxiv", "parsed_url": [ "http", "arxiv.org", "/abs/2403.14152v2", "", "", "" ], "engines": [ "arxiv" ], "positions": [ 2 ], "score": 0.5, "category": "science" }, { "template": "paper.html", "url": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/39331416", "title": "Myelin Sheath-Inspired Hydrogel Electrode for Artificial Skin and Physiological Monitoring.", "content": "Significant advancements in hydrogel-based epidermal electrodes have been made in recent years.

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-coated sulfonated cellulose nanofibers (PEDOT:SCNFs) are synthesized through a simple solvent-catalyzed sulfonation process, followed by oxidative self-polymerization and ionic liquid (IL) shielding steps, achieving a low electrochemical impedance of 42 Ω. The physical associations within the composite hydrogel network include complexation, electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, hydrophobic interaction, and weak entanglements. These properties confer the hydrogel with high stretchability (770%), superconformability, self-adhesion (28 kPa on pigskin), and self-healing capabilities. By simulating the saltatory propagation effect of the nodes of Ranvier in the nervous system, the biomimetic hydrogel establishes high-fidelity epidermal electronic interfaces, offering benefits such as low interfacial contact impedance, significantly increased SNR (30 dB), as well as large-scale sensor array integration.

Our innovative methodology is designed for excursion sets, but is versatile enough to be applied to set-valued simulators, including those found in viability fields, or when working with maps like pollutant concentration maps or flood zone maps. We propose to use the Hilbert-Schmidt Independence Criterion (HSIC) with a kernel designed for set-valued outputs. After proposing a probabilistic framework for random sets, a first contribution is the proof that this kernel is characteristic, an essential property in a kernel-based sensitivity analysis context. To measure the contribution of each input, we then propose to use HSIC-ANOVA indices. With these indices, we can identify which inputs should be neglected (screening) and we can rank the others according to their influence (ranking). The estimation of these indices is also adapted to the set-valued outputs. Finally, we test the proposed method on three test cases of excursion sets.", "doi": null, "authors": [ "Noé Fellmann", "Christophette Blanchet-Scalliet", "Céline Helbert", "Adrien Spagnol", "Delphine Sinoquet" ], "journal": null, "tags": [ "math.ST", "stat.TH" ], "comments": null, "pdf_url": "http://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.09268v3", "engine": "arxiv", "parsed_url": [ "http", "arxiv.org", "/abs/2305.09268v3", "", "", "" ], "engines": [ "arxiv" ], "positions": [ 6 ], "score": 0.16666666666666666, "category": "science" }, { "template": "paper.html", "url": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/39331384", "title": "The many facets of RuII(dppe)2 acetylide compounds.", "content": "In this contribution, we describe the various research domains in which RuII alkynyl derivatives are involved.

Likewise, the d/p mixing results in tunable redox properties at low potential due to the raising of the HOMO level, and making those compounds particularly suited to achieve redox switching of various properties associated to the acetylide conjugated ligand, such as photochromism, luminescence or magnetism, for charge transport at the molecular level and in field effect transistor devices, or charge storage for memory devices.

As the evaluations of prognostic capacity, the survivals of groups with high/low expression of the biomarker are often estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference between groups is summarized via the hazard ratio (HR). The high/low expressions are usually determined by study-specific cutoff values, which brings heterogeneity over multiple prognosis studies and difficulty to synthesizing the results in a simple way. In meta-analysis of diagnostic studies with binary outcomes, the summary receiver operating characteristics (SROC) analysis provides a useful cutoff-free summary over studies. Recently, this methodology has been extended to the time-dependent SROC analysis for time-to-event outcomes in meta-analysis of prognosis studies. In this paper, we propose a sensitivity analysis method for evaluating the impact of publication bias on the time-dependent SROC analysis. Our proposal extends the recently introduced sensitivity analysis method for meta-analysis of diagnostic studies based on the bivariate normal model on sensitivity and specificity pairs. To model the selective publication process specific to prognosis studies, we introduce a trivariate model on the time-dependent sensitivity and specificity and the log-transformed HR. Based on the proved asymptotic property of the trivariate model, we introduce a likelihood based sensitivity analysis method based on the conditional likelihood constrained by the expected proportion of published studies.

This study aims to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of allocryptopine on various targets and potential mechanisms that have not been previously explored in the literature. Initially, we used MTT and LDH methods to evaluate the effects of allocryptopine on cell viability in BV-2 cells exposed to LPS-induced damage. Subsequently, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), other inflammatory mediators (Cox-2 and iNOS), and p38 MAPK genes and proteins through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Also, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on NF-κB proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p-p50, and p-p65) through ELISA assay. Molecular docking analyses were performed to investigate the potential binding of allocryptopine to target proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p50, p65, MKK3, MKK4, MKK6, p38, AP-1 (c-Jun and ATF2), IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, Cox-2, and iNOS) associated with the TLR4, NF-κB, and p38 MAPK pathways.

The outcomes of our study suggest that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory efficacy of allocryptopine is intricately linked to the modulation of key molecular pathways associated with oxidative stress and inflammation.

In particular when the inputs are independent, Sobol' sensitivity indices attribute a portion of the output of interest variance to each input and all possible interactions in the model, thanks to a functional ANOVA decomposition. On the other hand, moment-independent sensitivity indices focus on the impact of input variables on the whole output distribution instead of the variance only, thus providing complementary insight on the inputs / output relationship. Unfortunately they do not enjoy the nice decomposition property of Sobol' indices and are consequently harder to analyze. In this paper, we introduce two moment-independent indices based on kernel-embeddings of probability distributions and show that the RKHS framework used for their definition makes it possible to exhibit a kernel-based ANOVA decomposition. This is the first time such a desirable property is proved for sensitivity indices apart from Sobol' ones. When the inputs are dependent, we also use these new sensitivity indices as building blocks to design kernel-embedding Shapley effects which generalize the traditional variance-based ones used in sensitivity analysis.

However, inherent limitations, such as adaptability, adhesion, and conductivity, have presented challenges, thereby limiting the sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and stability of the physiological-electrode interface. In this study, we propose the concept of myelin sheath-inspired hydrogel epidermal electronics by incorporating numerous interpenetrating core-sheath-structured conductive nanofibers within a physically cross-linked polyelectrolyte network. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-coated sulfonated cellulose nanofibers (PEDOT:SCNFs) are synthesized through a simple solvent-catalyzed sulfonation process, followed by oxidative self-polymerization and ionic liquid (IL) shielding steps, achieving a low electrochemical impedance of 42 Ω. The physical associations within the composite hydrogel network include complexation, electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, hydrophobic interaction, and weak entanglements. These properties confer the hydrogel with high stretchability (770%), superconformability, self-adhesion (28 kPa on pigskin), and self-healing capabilities. By simulating the saltatory propagation effect of the nodes of Ranvier in the nervous system, the biomimetic hydrogel establishes high-fidelity epidermal electronic interfaces, offering benefits such as low interfacial contact impedance, significantly increased SNR (30 dB), as well as large-scale sensor array integration.

To create samples with aligned graphene/hBN, researchers often align edges of exfoliated flakes that appear straight in optical micrographs. However, graphene or hBN can cleave along either zig-zag or armchair lattice directions, introducing a [Formula: see text] ambiguity in the relative orientation of two flakes. By characterizing the crystal lattice orientation of exfoliated flakes prior to stacking using Raman and second-harmonic generation for graphene and hBN, respectively, we unambiguously align monolayer graphene to hBN at a near-[Formula: see text], not [Formula: see text], relative twist angle.

Internationally, resale based property taxes are most common due to ease of implementation and the difficulty of establishing site values. In an Irish context, property valuations are currently based on comparison to recently sold neighbouring properties, however, this approach is limited by low property turnover. National property taxes based on property value, as opposed to site value, also act as a disincentive to improvement works due to the ensuing increased tax burden. In this article we develop a spatial hedonic regression model to separate the spatial and non-spatial contributions of property features to resale value. We mitigate the issue of low property turnover through geographic correlation, borrowing information across multiple property types and finishes. We investigate the impact of address mislabelling on predictive performance, where vendors erroneously supply a more affluent postcode, and evaluate the contribution of improvement works to increased values. Our flexible geo-spatial model outperforms all competitors across a number of different evaluation metrics, including the accuracy of both price prediction and associated uncertainty intervals. While our models are applied in an Irish context, the ability to accurately value properties in markets with low property turnover and to quantify the value contributions of specific property features has widespread application.

Initially, we used MTT and LDH methods to evaluate the effects of allocryptopine on cell viability in BV-2 cells exposed to LPS-induced damage. Subsequently, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), other inflammatory mediators (Cox-2 and iNOS), and p38 MAPK genes and proteins through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Also, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on NF-κB proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p-p50, and p-p65) through ELISA assay.

In such cases, a sensitivity analysis is often conducted, which investigates whether the observed association between treatment and outcome is due to effects caused by the treatment or it is due to hidden confounding. In general, a sensitivity analysis tries to infer the minimum amount of hidden biases needed in order to explain away the observed association between treatment and outcome, assuming that the treatment has no effect. If the needed bias is large, then the treatment is likely to have significant effects. The Rosenbaum sensitivity analysis is a modern approach for conducting sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies. It investigates what magnitude the maximum of the hidden biases from all matched sets needs to be in order to explain away the observed association, assuming that the treatment has no effect. However, such a sensitivity analysis can be overly conservative and pessimistic, especially when the investigators believe that some matched sets may have exceptionally large hidden biases. In this paper, we generalize Rosenbaum's framework to conduct sensitivity analysis on quantiles of hidden biases from all matched sets, which are more robust than the maximum. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis on all quantiles of hidden biases is simultaneously valid and is thus a free lunch added to the conventional sensitivity analysis. The proposed approach works for general outcomes, general matched studies and general test statistics. Finally, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis also works for bounded null hypotheses as long as the test statistic satisfies certain properties.

However, unmeasured confounding may exist and cannot be removed by matching. Therefore, a sensitivity analysis is typically needed to assess a causal conclusion's sensitivity to unmeasured confounding. Sensitivity analysis frameworks for binary exposures have been well-established for various matching designs and are commonly used in various studies. However, unlike the binary exposure case, there still lacks valid and general sensitivity analysis methods for continuous exposures, except in some special cases such as pair matching. To fill this gap in the binary outcome case, we develop a sensitivity analysis framework for general matching designs with continuous exposures and binary outcomes. First, we use probabilistic lattice theory to show our sensitivity analysis approach is finite-population-exact under Fisher's sharp null. Second, we prove a novel design sensitivity formula as a powerful tool for asymptotically evaluating the performance of our sensitivity analysis approach. Third, to allow effect heterogeneity with binary outcomes, we introduce a framework for conducting asymptotically exact inference and sensitivity analysis on generalized attributable effects with binary outcomes via mixed-integer programming. Fourth, for the continuous outcomes case, we show that conducting an asymptotically exact sensitivity analysis in matched observational studies when both the exposures and outcomes are continuous is generally NP-hard, except in some special cases such as pair matching.

Unlike the binary treatment case, although widely needed in practice, sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies with treatment doses (i.e., non-binary treatments such as ordinal treatments or continuous treatments) still lacks solid foundations and valid methodologies. We fill in this blank by establishing theoretical foundations and novel methodologies under a generalized Rosenbaum bounds sensitivity analysis framework. First, we present a criterion for assessing the validity of sensitivity analysis in matched observational studies with treatment doses and use that criterion to justify the necessity of incorporating the treatment dose information into sensitivity analysis through generalized Rosenbaum sensitivity bounds. We also generalize Rosenbaum's classic sensitivity parameter $\\Gamma$ to the non-binary treatment case and prove its sufficiency.

The key component is a newly proposed latent-variable Gaussian process (LVGP) model through which different classes of microstructures are mapped into a low-dimensional continuous latent space. It provides an interpretable distance metric between classes and captures their effects on the homogenized stiffness tensors. By introducing latent vectors as design variables, a differentiable transition of stiffness matrix between classes can be easily achieved with an analytical gradient. After integrating LVGP with the density-based TO, an efficient data-driven cellular composite optimization process is developed to enable concurrent exploration of microstructure concepts and the associated volume fractions for natural frequency optimization.

This study explores the potential of valorizing paper sludge by incorporating it into particleboard production. It aims to optimize sludge content and particle size to enhance board properties-a novel approach to waste management in the wood composites industry. Through systematic variation of sludge content (0-25%) and particle size (< 0.5 to > 2 mm), we assessed the mechanical and physical properties such as internal bond strength (IB), modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), water absorption (WA), and thickness swelling (TS). The findings indicate that incorporating paper sludge at moderate levels (5-15%) with optimized particle sizes (< 1 mm) significantly improves the mechanical properties of the particleboard, including increased IB, MOR, and MOE while reducing WA and TS. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) further supported these results, revealing that higher-density boards with enhanced mechanical properties absorb less water, highlighting the interrelationship between structural integrity and moisture resistance. The PCA also identified thickness swelling as an independent factor, suggesting that while mechanical properties can be optimized, additional strategies are needed to control swelling. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that up to 15% paper sludge can be effectively used in particleboard production without compromising quality, provided particle size is carefully controlled.

The second natural frequency is known to be nonlinear in temperature, and this will serve as the main focal point of this work. Cointegration is a method of normalising time series data with respect to one another - often strongly-correlated time series. Cointegration is used in this paper to remove effects from Environmental and Operational Variations, by cointegrating the first four natural frequencies for the Z24 Bridge data. The temperature effects on the natural frequency data are clearly visible within the data, and it is desirable, for the purposes of structural health monitoring, that these effects are removed. The univariate time series are embedded in higher-dimensional space, such that interesting topologies are formed. Topological data analysis is used to analyse the raw time series, and the cointegrated equivalents.

In this setup, particles are more easily represented by $D$-dimensional unit vectors than by $D-1$ spherical angles, allowing for the coupling constant to be extended to a coupling matrix acting on the vectors. As in the original Kuramoto model, each particle has a set of $D(D-1)/2$ natural frequencies, drawn from a distribution. The system has a large number of independent parameters, given by the average natural frequencies, the characteristic widths of their distributions plus $D^2$ constants of the coupling matrix. General phase diagrams, indicating regions in parameter space where the system exhibits different behaviors, are hard to derive analytically. Here we obtain the complete phase diagram for $D=2$ and Lorentzian distributions of natural frequencies using the Ott-Antonsen ansatz. We also explore the diagrams numerically for different distributions and some specific choices of parameters for $D=2$, $D=3$ and $D=4$.

Then, the nonlinear three-dimensional model of wood with defects was established by using the inverse image, and the finite element analysis was carried out to predict the elastic modulus of wood. In the experiment, 270 points were selected from each of the four regions of the wood, totaling 1080 sets of near-infrared data, and the 1D-VGG19 model was used for classification. The results showed that the identification accuracy of the knot area was 95.1%, the fiber deviation area was 92.7%, the transition area was 90.2%, the net wood area was 100%, and the average accuracy was 94.5%. The error range of the elastic modulus prediction of the three-dimensional model established by the VGG19 classification model in the finite element analysis is between 2% and 10%, the root mean square error (RMSE) is about 598. 2, and the coefficient of determination (R2) is 0. 91.

In this study, we propose the concept of myelin sheath-inspired hydrogel epidermal electronics by incorporating numerous interpenetrating core-sheath-structured conductive nanofibers within a physically cross-linked polyelectrolyte network. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-coated sulfonated cellulose nanofibers (PEDOT:SCNFs) are synthesized through a simple solvent-catalyzed sulfonation process, followed by oxidative self-polymerization and ionic liquid (IL) shielding steps, achieving a low electrochemical impedance of 42 Ω. The physical associations within the composite hydrogel network include complexation, electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, hydrophobic interaction, and weak entanglements. These properties confer the hydrogel with high stretchability (770%), superconformability, self-adhesion (28 kPa on pigskin), and self-healing capabilities. By simulating the saltatory propagation effect of the nodes of Ranvier in the nervous system, the biomimetic hydrogel establishes high-fidelity epidermal electronic interfaces, offering benefits such as low interfacial contact impedance, significantly increased SNR (30 dB), as well as large-scale sensor array integration.

Despite this ubiquity, it remains poorly understood how complex network structures and heterogeneous local dynamics combine to either promote or inhibit synchronization. Moreover, for most real-world applications it is impossible to obtain the exact specifications of the system, and there is a lack of theory for how uncertainty affects synchronization. We address this open problem by studying the Synchrony Alignment Function (SAF), which is an objective measure for the synchronization properties of a network of heterogeneous oscillators with given natural frequencies. We extend the SAF framework to analyze network-coupled oscillators with heterogeneous natural frequencies that are drawn as a multivariate random vector. Using probability theory for quadratic forms, we obtain expressions for the expectation and variance of the SAF for given network structures. We conclude with numerical experiments that illustrate how the incorporation of uncertainty yields a more robust theoretical framework for enhancing synchronization, and we provide new perspectives for why synchronization is generically promoted by network properties including degree-frequency correlations, link directedness, and link weight delocalization.", "doi": "10.1137/19M1253836", "authors": [ "Per Sebastian Skardal", "Dane Taylor", "Jie Sun" ], "journal": null, "tags": [ "nlin.AO" ], "comments": null, "pdf_url": "http://arxiv.org/pdf/1904.00967v2", "engine": "arxiv", "parsed_url": [ "http", "arxiv.org", "/abs/1904.00967v2", "", "", "" ], "engines": [ "arxiv" ], "positions": [ 4 ], "score": 0.25, "category": "science" }, { "template": "paper.html", "url": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/39331387", "title": "In Situ Generation of 1-Acetylpyrene as a Visible-Light Photocatalyst for the Thia-Paternò-Büchi Reaction.", "content": "The thia-Paternò-Büchi reaction represents one of the straightforward approaches to build thietane cores.

This study aims to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of allocryptopine on various targets and potential mechanisms that have not been previously explored in the literature. Initially, we used MTT and LDH methods to evaluate the effects of allocryptopine on cell viability in BV-2 cells exposed to LPS-induced damage. Subsequently, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), other inflammatory mediators (Cox-2 and iNOS), and p38 MAPK genes and proteins through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Also, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on NF-κB proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p-p50, and p-p65) through ELISA assay. Molecular docking analyses were performed to investigate the potential binding of allocryptopine to target proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p50, p65, MKK3, MKK4, MKK6, p38, AP-1 (c-Jun and ATF2), IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, Cox-2, and iNOS) associated with the TLR4, NF-κB, and p38 MAPK pathways.

The outcomes of our study suggest that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory efficacy of allocryptopine is intricately linked to the modulation of key molecular pathways associated with oxidative stress and inflammation.

However, the stochasticity of operational systems and the lack of forcing information can lead to inconsistent results. Quantifying the uncertainty of the recovered modal parameters through OMA is therefore of significant value. In this article, a new perspective on Bayesian OMA is proposed: a Bayesian stochastic subspace identification (SSI) algorithm. Distinct from existing approaches to Bayesian OMA, a hierarchical probabilistic model is embedded at the core of covariance-driven SSI. Through substitution of canonical correlation analysis with a Bayesian equivalent, posterior distributions over the modal properties are obtained. Two inference schemes are presented for the proposed Bayesian formulation: Markov Chain Monte Carlo and variational Bayes. Two case studies are then explored. The first is benchmark study using data from a simulated, multi degree-of-freedom, linear system. Following application of Bayesian SSI, it is shown that the same posterior is targeted and recovered by both inference schemes, with good agreement between the posterior mean and the conventional SSI result. The second study applies the variational form to data obtained from an in-service structure: The Z24 bridge. The results of this study are presented at single model orders, and then using a stabilisation diagram. The recovered posterior uncertainty is presented and compared to the classic SSI result.

In such cases, a sensitivity analysis is often conducted, which investigates whether the observed association between treatment and outcome is due to effects caused by the treatment or it is due to hidden confounding. In general, a sensitivity analysis tries to infer the minimum amount of hidden biases needed in order to explain away the observed association between treatment and outcome, assuming that the treatment has no effect. If the needed bias is large, then the treatment is likely to have significant effects. The Rosenbaum sensitivity analysis is a modern approach for conducting sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies. It investigates what magnitude the maximum of the hidden biases from all matched sets needs to be in order to explain away the observed association, assuming that the treatment has no effect. However, such a sensitivity analysis can be overly conservative and pessimistic, especially when the investigators believe that some matched sets may have exceptionally large hidden biases. In this paper, we generalize Rosenbaum's framework to conduct sensitivity analysis on quantiles of hidden biases from all matched sets, which are more robust than the maximum. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis on all quantiles of hidden biases is simultaneously valid and is thus a free lunch added to the conventional sensitivity analysis. The proposed approach works for general outcomes, general matched studies and general test statistics. Finally, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis also works for bounded null hypotheses as long as the test statistic satisfies certain properties.

However, unmeasured confounding may exist and cannot be removed by matching. Therefore, a sensitivity analysis is typically needed to assess a causal conclusion's sensitivity to unmeasured confounding. Sensitivity analysis frameworks for binary exposures have been well-established for various matching designs and are commonly used in various studies. However, unlike the binary exposure case, there still lacks valid and general sensitivity analysis methods for continuous exposures, except in some special cases such as pair matching. To fill this gap in the binary outcome case, we develop a sensitivity analysis framework for general matching designs with continuous exposures and binary outcomes. First, we use probabilistic lattice theory to show our sensitivity analysis approach is finite-population-exact under Fisher's sharp null. Second, we prove a novel design sensitivity formula as a powerful tool for asymptotically evaluating the performance of our sensitivity analysis approach. Third, to allow effect heterogeneity with binary outcomes, we introduce a framework for conducting asymptotically exact inference and sensitivity analysis on generalized attributable effects with binary outcomes via mixed-integer programming. Fourth, for the continuous outcomes case, we show that conducting an asymptotically exact sensitivity analysis in matched observational studies when both the exposures and outcomes are continuous is generally NP-hard, except in some special cases such as pair matching.

We fill in this blank by establishing theoretical foundations and novel methodologies under a generalized Rosenbaum bounds sensitivity analysis framework. First, we present a criterion for assessing the validity of sensitivity analysis in matched observational studies with treatment doses and use that criterion to justify the necessity of incorporating the treatment dose information into sensitivity analysis through generalized Rosenbaum sensitivity bounds. We also generalize Rosenbaum's classic sensitivity parameter $\\Gamma$ to the non-binary treatment case and prove its sufficiency. Second, we study the asymptotic properties of sensitivity analysis by generalizing Rosenbaum's classic design sensitivity and Bahadur efficiency for testing Fisher's sharp null to the non-binary treatment case and deriving novel formulas for them.

In such cases, a sensitivity analysis is often conducted, which investigates whether the observed association between treatment and outcome is due to effects caused by the treatment or it is due to hidden confounding. In general, a sensitivity analysis tries to infer the minimum amount of hidden biases needed in order to explain away the observed association between treatment and outcome, assuming that the treatment has no effect. If the needed bias is large, then the treatment is likely to have significant effects. The Rosenbaum sensitivity analysis is a modern approach for conducting sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies. It investigates what magnitude the maximum of the hidden biases from all matched sets needs to be in order to explain away the observed association, assuming that the treatment has no effect. However, such a sensitivity analysis can be overly conservative and pessimistic, especially when the investigators believe that some matched sets may have exceptionally large hidden biases. In this paper, we generalize Rosenbaum's framework to conduct sensitivity analysis on quantiles of hidden biases from all matched sets, which are more robust than the maximum. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis on all quantiles of hidden biases is simultaneously valid and is thus a free lunch added to the conventional sensitivity analysis. The proposed approach works for general outcomes, general matched studies and general test statistics. Finally, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis also works for bounded null hypotheses as long as the test statistic satisfies certain properties.

In this study, we propose the concept of myelin sheath-inspired hydrogel epidermal electronics by incorporating numerous interpenetrating core-sheath-structured conductive nanofibers within a physically cross-linked polyelectrolyte network. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-coated sulfonated cellulose nanofibers (PEDOT:SCNFs) are synthesized through a simple solvent-catalyzed sulfonation process, followed by oxidative self-polymerization and ionic liquid (IL) shielding steps, achieving a low electrochemical impedance of 42 Ω. The physical associations within the composite hydrogel network include complexation, electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, hydrophobic interaction, and weak entanglements. These properties confer the hydrogel with high stretchability (770%), superconformability, self-adhesion (28 kPa on pigskin), and self-healing capabilities. By simulating the saltatory propagation effect of the nodes of Ranvier in the nervous system, the biomimetic hydrogel establishes high-fidelity epidermal electronic interfaces, offering benefits such as low interfacial contact impedance, significantly increased SNR (30 dB), as well as large-scale sensor array integration.

Unlike the binary treatment case, although widely needed in practice, sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies with treatment doses (i.e., non-binary treatments such as ordinal treatments or continuous treatments) still lacks solid foundations and valid methodologies. We fill in this blank by establishing theoretical foundations and novel methodologies under a generalized Rosenbaum bounds sensitivity analysis framework. First, we present a criterion for assessing the validity of sensitivity analysis in matched observational studies with treatment doses and use that criterion to justify the necessity of incorporating the treatment dose information into sensitivity analysis through generalized Rosenbaum sensitivity bounds. We also generalize Rosenbaum's classic sensitivity parameter $\\Gamma$ to the non-binary treatment case and prove its sufficiency. Second, we study the asymptotic properties of sensitivity analysis by generalizing Rosenbaum's classic design sensitivity and Bahadur efficiency for testing Fisher's sharp null to the non-binary treatment case and deriving novel formulas for them. Our theoretical results showed the importance of appropriately incorporating the treatment dose into a test, which is an intrinsic distinction with the binary treatment case. Third, for testing Neyman's weak null (i.e., null sample average treatment effect), we propose the first valid sensitivity analysis procedure for matching with treatment dose through generalizing an existing optimization-based sensitivity analysis for the binary treatment case, built on the generalized Rosenbaum sensitivity bounds and large-scale mixed integer programming.", "doi": null, "authors": [ "Siyu Heng", "Hyunseung Kang" ], "journal": null, "tags": [ "stat.ME", "math.ST", "stat.TH" ], "comments": null, "pdf_url": "http://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.14152v2", "engine": "arxiv", "parsed_url": [ "http", "arxiv.org", "/abs/2403.14152v2", "", "", "" ], "engines": [ "arxiv" ], "positions": [ 2 ], "score": 0.5, "category": "science" }, { "template": "paper.html", "url": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/39331413", "title": "Deterministic fabrication of graphene hexagonal boron nitride moiré superlattices.", "content": "The electronic properties of moiré heterostructures depend sensitively on the relative orientation between layers of the stack.

To create samples with aligned graphene/hBN, researchers often align edges of exfoliated flakes that appear straight in optical micrographs. However, graphene or hBN can cleave along either zig-zag or armchair lattice directions, introducing a [Formula: see text] ambiguity in the relative orientation of two flakes. By characterizing the crystal lattice orientation of exfoliated flakes prior to stacking using Raman and second-harmonic generation for graphene and hBN, respectively, we unambiguously align monolayer graphene to hBN at a near-[Formula: see text], not [Formula: see text], relative twist angle. We confirm this alignment by torsional force microscopy of the graphene/hBN moiré on an open-face stack, and then by cryogenic transport measurements, after full encapsulation with a second, nonaligned hBN layer.

To study sensitivity, we use discrete models, where each element is represented as a discrete variable and assigned an update rule, which is a function of element's known direct and indirect regulators. Our sensitivity analysis framework allows for assessing the effect of context on individual element sensitivity, as well as on element criticality in reaching preferred outcomes. The framework also enables discovery of most influential pathways in the model that are essential for satisfying important system properties, and thus, could be used for interventions.

The highly efficient synthesis of a wide range of unprecedented thietanes from intrinsically highly unstable thiocabonyls, such as thioaldehydes and aliphatic thioketones, was made possible by the multitasking capability of pyrenacyl sulfides, as a source of thiocarbonyl substrates and as precursors of 1-acetylpyrene, which acts as the photocatalyst for the thia-Paternò-Büchi reaction. The photosensitizer properties of the latter have been experimentally established and a triplet-triplet Dexter energy transfer-based mechanism is proposed.", "journal": "Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English)", "issn": [ "1521-3773" ], "authors": [ "Gabriel Cormier", "Clémence Allain", "Thomas Boddaert" ], "doi": "10.1002/anie.202412602", "publishedDate": "2024-09-26T00:00:00", "engine": "pubmed", "parsed_url": [ "https", "www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov", "/pubmed/39331387", "", "", "" ], "engines": [ "pubmed" ], "positions": [ 5 ], "score": 0.2, "category": "science" }, { "template": "paper.html", "url": "http://arxiv.org/abs/2302.08630v1", "title": "Global Sensitivity Analysis of a coupled multiphysics model to predict surface evolution in fusion plasma-surface interactions", "publishedDate": "2023-02-16T23:56:56", "content": "We construct a global sensitivity analysis framework for a coupled multiphysics model used to predict the changes in material properties and surface morphology of helium plasma-facing components in future fusion reactors.

Our innovative methodology is designed for excursion sets, but is versatile enough to be applied to set-valued simulators, including those found in viability fields, or when working with maps like pollutant concentration maps or flood zone maps. We propose to use the Hilbert-Schmidt Independence Criterion (HSIC) with a kernel designed for set-valued outputs. After proposing a probabilistic framework for random sets, a first contribution is the proof that this kernel is characteristic, an essential property in a kernel-based sensitivity analysis context. To measure the contribution of each input, we then propose to use HSIC-ANOVA indices. With these indices, we can identify which inputs should be neglected (screening) and we can rank the others according to their influence (ranking).

As the evaluations of prognostic capacity, the survivals of groups with high/low expression of the biomarker are often estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference between groups is summarized via the hazard ratio (HR). The high/low expressions are usually determined by study-specific cutoff values, which brings heterogeneity over multiple prognosis studies and difficulty to synthesizing the results in a simple way. In meta-analysis of diagnostic studies with binary outcomes, the summary receiver operating characteristics (SROC) analysis provides a useful cutoff-free summary over studies. Recently, this methodology has been extended to the time-dependent SROC analysis for time-to-event outcomes in meta-analysis of prognosis studies. In this paper, we propose a sensitivity analysis method for evaluating the impact of publication bias on the time-dependent SROC analysis. Our proposal extends the recently introduced sensitivity analysis method for meta-analysis of diagnostic studies based on the bivariate normal model on sensitivity and specificity pairs. To model the selective publication process specific to prognosis studies, we introduce a trivariate model on the time-dependent sensitivity and specificity and the log-transformed HR. Based on the proved asymptotic property of the trivariate model, we introduce a likelihood based sensitivity analysis method based on the conditional likelihood constrained by the expected proportion of published studies.

This study aims to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of allocryptopine on various targets and potential mechanisms that have not been previously explored in the literature. Initially, we used MTT and LDH methods to evaluate the effects of allocryptopine on cell viability in BV-2 cells exposed to LPS-induced damage. Subsequently, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), other inflammatory mediators (Cox-2 and iNOS), and p38 MAPK genes and proteins through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Also, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on NF-κB proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p-p50, and p-p65) through ELISA assay. Molecular docking analyses were performed to investigate the potential binding of allocryptopine to target proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p50, p65, MKK3, MKK4, MKK6, p38, AP-1 (c-Jun and ATF2), IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, Cox-2, and iNOS) associated with the TLR4, NF-κB, and p38 MAPK pathways.

The outcomes of our study suggest that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory efficacy of allocryptopine is intricately linked to the modulation of key molecular pathways associated with oxidative stress and inflammation.

In particular when the inputs are independent, Sobol' sensitivity indices attribute a portion of the output of interest variance to each input and all possible interactions in the model, thanks to a functional ANOVA decomposition. On the other hand, moment-independent sensitivity indices focus on the impact of input variables on the whole output distribution instead of the variance only, thus providing complementary insight on the inputs / output relationship. Unfortunately they do not enjoy the nice decomposition property of Sobol' indices and are consequently harder to analyze. In this paper, we introduce two moment-independent indices based on kernel-embeddings of probability distributions and show that the RKHS framework used for their definition makes it possible to exhibit a kernel-based ANOVA decomposition. This is the first time such a desirable property is proved for sensitivity indices apart from Sobol' ones. When the inputs are dependent, we also use these new sensitivity indices as building blocks to design kernel-embedding Shapley effects which generalize the traditional variance-based ones used in sensitivity analysis.

Being motivated by these notions, for $p,q\\in[1,\\infty]$, we define the strict Dunford--Pettis property of order $p$ (the strict $DP_p$ property) and the sequential Dunford--Pettis property of order $(p,q)$ (the sequential $DP_{(p,q)}$ property). We show that a locally convex space (lcs) $E$ has the $DP$ property iff the space $E$ endowed with the Grothendieck topology $\\tau_{\\Sigma'}$ has the weak Glicksberg property, and $E$ has the strict $DP_p$ property iff the space $(E,\\tau_{\\Sigma'}) $ has the $p$-Schur property.

However, inherent limitations, such as adaptability, adhesion, and conductivity, have presented challenges, thereby limiting the sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and stability of the physiological-electrode interface. In this study, we propose the concept of myelin sheath-inspired hydrogel epidermal electronics by incorporating numerous interpenetrating core-sheath-structured conductive nanofibers within a physically cross-linked polyelectrolyte network. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-coated sulfonated cellulose nanofibers (PEDOT:SCNFs) are synthesized through a simple solvent-catalyzed sulfonation process, followed by oxidative self-polymerization and ionic liquid (IL) shielding steps, achieving a low electrochemical impedance of 42 Ω. The physical associations within the composite hydrogel network include complexation, electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, hydrophobic interaction, and weak entanglements. These properties confer the hydrogel with high stretchability (770%), superconformability, self-adhesion (28 kPa on pigskin), and self-healing capabilities. By simulating the saltatory propagation effect of the nodes of Ranvier in the nervous system, the biomimetic hydrogel establishes high-fidelity epidermal electronic interfaces, offering benefits such as low interfacial contact impedance, significantly increased SNR (30 dB), as well as large-scale sensor array integration.

To create samples with aligned graphene/hBN, researchers often align edges of exfoliated flakes that appear straight in optical micrographs. However, graphene or hBN can cleave along either zig-zag or armchair lattice directions, introducing a [Formula: see text] ambiguity in the relative orientation of two flakes.

Internationally, resale based property taxes are most common due to ease of implementation and the difficulty of establishing site values. In an Irish context, property valuations are currently based on comparison to recently sold neighbouring properties, however, this approach is limited by low property turnover. National property taxes based on property value, as opposed to site value, also act as a disincentive to improvement works due to the ensuing increased tax burden. In this article we develop a spatial hedonic regression model to separate the spatial and non-spatial contributions of property features to resale value. We mitigate the issue of low property turnover through geographic correlation, borrowing information across multiple property types and finishes. We investigate the impact of address mislabelling on predictive performance, where vendors erroneously supply a more affluent postcode, and evaluate the contribution of improvement works to increased values. Our flexible geo-spatial model outperforms all competitors across a number of different evaluation metrics, including the accuracy of both price prediction and associated uncertainty intervals. While our models are applied in an Irish context, the ability to accurately value properties in markets with low property turnover and to quantify the value contributions of specific property features has widespread application.

Initially, we used MTT and LDH methods to evaluate the effects of allocryptopine on cell viability in BV-2 cells exposed to LPS-induced damage. Subsequently, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), other inflammatory mediators (Cox-2 and iNOS), and p38 MAPK genes and proteins through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Also, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on NF-κB proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p-p50, and p-p65) through ELISA assay.

In such cases, a sensitivity analysis is often conducted, which investigates whether the observed association between treatment and outcome is due to effects caused by the treatment or it is due to hidden confounding. In general, a sensitivity analysis tries to infer the minimum amount of hidden biases needed in order to explain away the observed association between treatment and outcome, assuming that the treatment has no effect. If the needed bias is large, then the treatment is likely to have significant effects. The Rosenbaum sensitivity analysis is a modern approach for conducting sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies. It investigates what magnitude the maximum of the hidden biases from all matched sets needs to be in order to explain away the observed association, assuming that the treatment has no effect. However, such a sensitivity analysis can be overly conservative and pessimistic, especially when the investigators believe that some matched sets may have exceptionally large hidden biases. In this paper, we generalize Rosenbaum's framework to conduct sensitivity analysis on quantiles of hidden biases from all matched sets, which are more robust than the maximum. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis on all quantiles of hidden biases is simultaneously valid and is thus a free lunch added to the conventional sensitivity analysis. The proposed approach works for general outcomes, general matched studies and general test statistics. Finally, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis also works for bounded null hypotheses as long as the test statistic satisfies certain properties.

Several clinical trials of vitamin D to prevent acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) and improve COPD control have been conducted, but an up-to-date meta-analysis of all double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trials of this intervention is lacking.", "journal": "The Cochrane database of systematic reviews", "issn": [ "1469-493X" ], "authors": [ "Anne Williamson", "Adrian R Martineau", "David Jolliffe", "Aziz Sheikh", "Wim Janssens", "John Sluyter", "Rachida Rafiq", "Renate de Jongh", "Chris J Griffiths" ], "doi": "10.1002/14651858.CD013284.pub2", "engine": "pubmed", "parsed_url": [ "https", "www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov", "/pubmed/39329240", "", "", "" ], "engines": [ "pubmed" ], "positions": [ 7 ], "score": 0.14285714285714285, "category": "science" }, { "template": "paper.html", "url": "http://arxiv.org/abs/2401.06909v1", "title": "Sensitivity Analysis for Matched Observational Studies with Continuous Exposures and Binary Outcomes", "publishedDate": "2024-01-12T21:49:25", "content": "Matching is one of the most widely used study designs for adjusting for measured confounders in observational studies. However, unmeasured confounding may exist and cannot be removed by matching. Therefore, a sensitivity analysis is typically needed to assess a causal conclusion's sensitivity to unmeasured confounding. Sensitivity analysis frameworks for binary exposures have been well-established for various matching designs and are commonly used in various studies. However, unlike the binary exposure case, there still lacks valid and general sensitivity analysis methods for continuous exposures, except in some special cases such as pair matching. To fill this gap in the binary outcome case, we develop a sensitivity analysis framework for general matching designs with continuous exposures and binary outcomes. First, we use probabilistic lattice theory to show our sensitivity analysis approach is finite-population-exact under Fisher's sharp null. Second, we prove a novel design sensitivity formula as a powerful tool for asymptotically evaluating the performance of our sensitivity analysis approach. Third, to allow effect heterogeneity with binary outcomes, we introduce a framework for conducting asymptotically exact inference and sensitivity analysis on generalized attributable effects with binary outcomes via mixed-integer programming. Fourth, for the continuous outcomes case, we show that conducting an asymptotically exact sensitivity analysis in matched observational studies when both the exposures and outcomes are continuous is generally NP-hard, except in some special cases such as pair matching.

Unlike the binary treatment case, although widely needed in practice, sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies with treatment doses (i.e., non-binary treatments such as ordinal treatments or continuous treatments) still lacks solid foundations and valid methodologies. We fill in this blank by establishing theoretical foundations and novel methodologies under a generalized Rosenbaum bounds sensitivity analysis framework. First, we present a criterion for assessing the validity of sensitivity analysis in matched observational studies with treatment doses and use that criterion to justify the necessity of incorporating the treatment dose information into sensitivity analysis through generalized Rosenbaum sensitivity bounds. We also generalize Rosenbaum's classic sensitivity parameter $\\Gamma$ to the non-binary treatment case and prove its sufficiency.

This study aims to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of allocryptopine on various targets and potential mechanisms that have not been previously explored in the literature. Initially, we used MTT and LDH methods to evaluate the effects of allocryptopine on cell viability in BV-2 cells exposed to LPS-induced damage. Subsequently, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), other inflammatory mediators (Cox-2 and iNOS), and p38 MAPK genes and proteins through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Also, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on NF-κB proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p-p50, and p-p65) through ELISA assay. Molecular docking analyses were performed to investigate the potential binding of allocryptopine to target proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p50, p65, MKK3, MKK4, MKK6, p38, AP-1 (c-Jun and ATF2), IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, Cox-2, and iNOS) associated with the TLR4, NF-κB, and p38 MAPK pathways. Our results indicate that allocryptopine exerts a comprehensive influence on pro-inflammatory cytokines and other inflammatory mediators by inhibiting TLR4 signaling and modulating the NF-κB and p38 MAPK pathways. The outcomes of our study suggest that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory efficacy of allocryptopine is intricately linked to the modulation of key molecular pathways associated with oxidative stress and inflammation.

In this study, we propose the concept of myelin sheath-inspired hydrogel epidermal electronics by incorporating numerous interpenetrating core-sheath-structured conductive nanofibers within a physically cross-linked polyelectrolyte network. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-coated sulfonated cellulose nanofibers (PEDOT:SCNFs) are synthesized through a simple solvent-catalyzed sulfonation process, followed by oxidative self-polymerization and ionic liquid (IL) shielding steps, achieving a low electrochemical impedance of 42 Ω. The physical associations within the composite hydrogel network include complexation, electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, hydrophobic interaction, and weak entanglements. These properties confer the hydrogel with high stretchability (770%), superconformability, self-adhesion (28 kPa on pigskin), and self-healing capabilities. By simulating the saltatory propagation effect of the nodes of Ranvier in the nervous system, the biomimetic hydrogel establishes high-fidelity epidermal electronic interfaces, offering benefits such as low interfacial contact impedance, significantly increased SNR (30 dB), as well as large-scale sensor array integration.

Cointegration is used in this paper to remove effects from Environmental and Operational Variations, by cointegrating the first four natural frequencies for the Z24 Bridge data. The temperature effects on the natural frequency data are clearly visible within the data, and it is desirable, for the purposes of structural health monitoring, that these effects are removed. The univariate time series are embedded in higher-dimensional space, such that interesting topologies are formed.

Here we provide a rigorous description of the stability of various multicluster states by studying their spectral properties in the thermodynamic limit.

Despite this ubiquity, it remains poorly understood how complex network structures and heterogeneous local dynamics combine to either promote or inhibit synchronization. Moreover, for most real-world applications it is impossible to obtain the exact specifications of the system, and there is a lack of theory for how uncertainty affects synchronization. We address this open problem by studying the Synchrony Alignment Function (SAF), which is an objective measure for the synchronization properties of a network of heterogeneous oscillators with given natural frequencies. We extend the SAF framework to analyze network-coupled oscillators with heterogeneous natural frequencies that are drawn as a multivariate random vector. Using probability theory for quadratic forms, we obtain expressions for the expectation and variance of the SAF for given network structures. We conclude with numerical experiments that illustrate how the incorporation of uncertainty yields a more robust theoretical framework for enhancing synchronization, and we provide new perspectives for why synchronization is generically promoted by network properties including degree-frequency correlations, link directedness, and link weight delocalization.", "doi": "10.1137/19M1253836", "authors": [ "Per Sebastian Skardal", "Dane Taylor", "Jie Sun" ], "journal": null, "tags": [ "nlin.AO" ], "comments": null, "pdf_url": "http://arxiv.org/pdf/1904.00967v2", "engine": "arxiv", "parsed_url": [ "http", "arxiv.org", "/abs/1904.00967v2", "", "", "" ], "engines": [ "arxiv" ], "positions": [ 4 ], "score": 0.25, "category": "science" }, { "template": "paper.html", "url": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/39331387", "title": "In Situ Generation of 1-Acetylpyrene as a Visible-Light Photocatalyst for the Thia-Paternò-Büchi Reaction.", "content": "The thia-Paternò-Büchi reaction represents one of the straightforward approaches to build thietane cores.

This study aims to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of allocryptopine on various targets and potential mechanisms that have not been previously explored in the literature. Initially, we used MTT and LDH methods to evaluate the effects of allocryptopine on cell viability in BV-2 cells exposed to LPS-induced damage. Subsequently, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), other inflammatory mediators (Cox-2 and iNOS), and p38 MAPK genes and proteins through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Also, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on NF-κB proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p-p50, and p-p65) through ELISA assay. Molecular docking analyses were performed to investigate the potential binding of allocryptopine to target proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p50, p65, MKK3, MKK4, MKK6, p38, AP-1 (c-Jun and ATF2), IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, Cox-2, and iNOS) associated with the TLR4, NF-κB, and p38 MAPK pathways.

The outcomes of our study suggest that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory efficacy of allocryptopine is intricately linked to the modulation of key molecular pathways associated with oxidative stress and inflammation.

However, the stochasticity of operational systems and the lack of forcing information can lead to inconsistent results. Quantifying the uncertainty of the recovered modal parameters through OMA is therefore of significant value. In this article, a new perspective on Bayesian OMA is proposed: a Bayesian stochastic subspace identification (SSI) algorithm. Distinct from existing approaches to Bayesian OMA, a hierarchical probabilistic model is embedded at the core of covariance-driven SSI. Through substitution of canonical correlation analysis with a Bayesian equivalent, posterior distributions over the modal properties are obtained. Two inference schemes are presented for the proposed Bayesian formulation: Markov Chain Monte Carlo and variational Bayes. Two case studies are then explored. The first is benchmark study using data from a simulated, multi degree-of-freedom, linear system. Following application of Bayesian SSI, it is shown that the same posterior is targeted and recovered by both inference schemes, with good agreement between the posterior mean and the conventional SSI result. The second study applies the variational form to data obtained from an in-service structure: The Z24 bridge. The results of this study are presented at single model orders, and then using a stabilisation diagram. The recovered posterior uncertainty is presented and compared to the classic SSI result.

This review summarizes different biomass carbon structures and their preparation methods and explores the applications of these materials in electrochemical sensors. Modification of biomass carbon materials through pretreatment, physical and chemical activation, heteroatom doping, metal compound composite and other methods can make up for the deficiencies in its pore structure, electrical conductivity and surface wettability, thereby improving its electrochemical performance.

However, inherent limitations, such as adaptability, adhesion, and conductivity, have presented challenges, thereby limiting the sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and stability of the physiological-electrode interface. In this study, we propose the concept of myelin sheath-inspired hydrogel epidermal electronics by incorporating numerous interpenetrating core-sheath-structured conductive nanofibers within a physically cross-linked polyelectrolyte network. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-coated sulfonated cellulose nanofibers (PEDOT:SCNFs) are synthesized through a simple solvent-catalyzed sulfonation process, followed by oxidative self-polymerization and ionic liquid (IL) shielding steps, achieving a low electrochemical impedance of 42 Ω. The physical associations within the composite hydrogel network include complexation, electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, hydrophobic interaction, and weak entanglements. These properties confer the hydrogel with high stretchability (770%), superconformability, self-adhesion (28 kPa on pigskin), and self-healing capabilities. By simulating the saltatory propagation effect of the nodes of Ranvier in the nervous system, the biomimetic hydrogel establishes high-fidelity epidermal electronic interfaces, offering benefits such as low interfacial contact impedance, significantly increased SNR (30 dB), as well as large-scale sensor array integration.

To create samples with aligned graphene/hBN, researchers often align edges of exfoliated flakes that appear straight in optical micrographs. However, graphene or hBN can cleave along either zig-zag or armchair lattice directions, introducing a [Formula: see text] ambiguity in the relative orientation of two flakes. By characterizing the crystal lattice orientation of exfoliated flakes prior to stacking using Raman and second-harmonic generation for graphene and hBN, respectively, we unambiguously align monolayer graphene to hBN at a near-[Formula: see text], not [Formula: see text], relative twist angle.

This study aims to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of allocryptopine on various targets and potential mechanisms that have not been previously explored in the literature. Initially, we used MTT and LDH methods to evaluate the effects of allocryptopine on cell viability in BV-2 cells exposed to LPS-induced damage. Subsequently, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), other inflammatory mediators (Cox-2 and iNOS), and p38 MAPK genes and proteins through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Also, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on NF-κB proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p-p50, and p-p65) through ELISA assay. Molecular docking analyses were performed to investigate the potential binding of allocryptopine to target proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p50, p65, MKK3, MKK4, MKK6, p38, AP-1 (c-Jun and ATF2), IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, Cox-2, and iNOS) associated with the TLR4, NF-κB, and p38 MAPK pathways.

We mimic the periodic outbreak of HFMD over a 2-year period-with differing amplitudes-and propose a dynamic HFMD model that differentiates transmission between mature and immature individuals and uses two possible optimal-control strategies to minimize case numbers, total costs and deaths. We parameterized the model by fitting it to HFMD data in mainland China from January 2011 to December 2018, and the basic reproduction number was estimated as 0.9599. Sensitivity analysis demonstrates that transmission between immature and mature individuals contributes substantially to new infections.

In such cases, a sensitivity analysis is often conducted, which investigates whether the observed association between treatment and outcome is due to effects caused by the treatment or it is due to hidden confounding. In general, a sensitivity analysis tries to infer the minimum amount of hidden biases needed in order to explain away the observed association between treatment and outcome, assuming that the treatment has no effect. If the needed bias is large, then the treatment is likely to have significant effects. The Rosenbaum sensitivity analysis is a modern approach for conducting sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies. It investigates what magnitude the maximum of the hidden biases from all matched sets needs to be in order to explain away the observed association, assuming that the treatment has no effect. However, such a sensitivity analysis can be overly conservative and pessimistic, especially when the investigators believe that some matched sets may have exceptionally large hidden biases. In this paper, we generalize Rosenbaum's framework to conduct sensitivity analysis on quantiles of hidden biases from all matched sets, which are more robust than the maximum. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis on all quantiles of hidden biases is simultaneously valid and is thus a free lunch added to the conventional sensitivity analysis. The proposed approach works for general outcomes, general matched studies and general test statistics. Finally, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis also works for bounded null hypotheses as long as the test statistic satisfies certain properties.

However, inherent limitations, such as adaptability, adhesion, and conductivity, have presented challenges, thereby limiting the sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and stability of the physiological-electrode interface. In this study, we propose the concept of myelin sheath-inspired hydrogel epidermal electronics by incorporating numerous interpenetrating core-sheath-structured conductive nanofibers within a physically cross-linked polyelectrolyte network. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-coated sulfonated cellulose nanofibers (PEDOT:SCNFs) are synthesized through a simple solvent-catalyzed sulfonation process, followed by oxidative self-polymerization and ionic liquid (IL) shielding steps, achieving a low electrochemical impedance of 42 Ω. The physical associations within the composite hydrogel network include complexation, electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, hydrophobic interaction, and weak entanglements. These properties confer the hydrogel with high stretchability (770%), superconformability, self-adhesion (28 kPa on pigskin), and self-healing capabilities.

Unlike the binary treatment case, although widely needed in practice, sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies with treatment doses (i.e., non-binary treatments such as ordinal treatments or continuous treatments) still lacks solid foundations and valid methodologies. We fill in this blank by establishing theoretical foundations and novel methodologies under a generalized Rosenbaum bounds sensitivity analysis framework. First, we present a criterion for assessing the validity of sensitivity analysis in matched observational studies with treatment doses and use that criterion to justify the necessity of incorporating the treatment dose information into sensitivity analysis through generalized Rosenbaum sensitivity bounds. We also generalize Rosenbaum's classic sensitivity parameter $\\Gamma$ to the non-binary treatment case and prove its sufficiency. Second, we study the asymptotic properties of sensitivity analysis by generalizing Rosenbaum's classic design sensitivity and Bahadur efficiency for testing Fisher's sharp null to the non-binary treatment case and deriving novel formulas for them. Our theoretical results showed the importance of appropriately incorporating the treatment dose into a test, which is an intrinsic distinction with the binary treatment case. Third, for testing Neyman's weak null (i.e., null sample average treatment effect), we propose the first valid sensitivity analysis procedure for matching with treatment dose through generalizing an existing optimization-based sensitivity analysis for the binary treatment case, built on the generalized Rosenbaum sensitivity bounds and large-scale mixed integer programming.", "doi": null, "authors": [ "Siyu Heng", "Hyunseung Kang" ], "journal": null, "tags": [ "stat.ME", "math.ST", "stat.TH" ], "comments": null, "pdf_url": "http://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.14152v2", "engine": "arxiv", "parsed_url": [ "http", "arxiv.org", "/abs/2403.14152v2", "", "", "" ], "engines": [ "arxiv" ], "positions": [ 2 ], "score": 0.5, "category": "science" }, { "template": "paper.html", "url": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/39331413", "title": "Deterministic fabrication of graphene hexagonal boron nitride moiré superlattices.", "content": "The electronic properties of moiré heterostructures depend sensitively on the relative orientation between layers of the stack.

Subsequently, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), other inflammatory mediators (Cox-2 and iNOS), and p38 MAPK genes and proteins through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses.

As the evaluations of prognostic capacity, the survivals of groups with high/low expression of the biomarker are often estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference between groups is summarized via the hazard ratio (HR). The high/low expressions are usually determined by study-specific cutoff values, which brings heterogeneity over multiple prognosis studies and difficulty to synthesizing the results in a simple way. In meta-analysis of diagnostic studies with binary outcomes, the summary receiver operating characteristics (SROC) analysis provides a useful cutoff-free summary over studies.

In this paper, we propose a sensitivity analysis method for evaluating the impact of publication bias on the time-dependent SROC analysis. Our proposal extends the recently introduced sensitivity analysis method for meta-analysis of diagnostic studies based on the bivariate normal model on sensitivity and specificity pairs. To model the selective publication process specific to prognosis studies, we introduce a trivariate model on the time-dependent sensitivity and specificity and the log-transformed HR. Based on the proved asymptotic property of the trivariate model, we introduce a likelihood based sensitivity analysis method based on the conditional likelihood constrained by the expected proportion of published studies.

However, inherent limitations, such as adaptability, adhesion, and conductivity, have presented challenges, thereby limiting the sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and stability of the physiological-electrode interface. In this study, we propose the concept of myelin sheath-inspired hydrogel epidermal electronics by incorporating numerous interpenetrating core-sheath-structured conductive nanofibers within a physically cross-linked polyelectrolyte network. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-coated sulfonated cellulose nanofibers (PEDOT:SCNFs) are synthesized through a simple solvent-catalyzed sulfonation process, followed by oxidative self-polymerization and ionic liquid (IL) shielding steps, achieving a low electrochemical impedance of 42 Ω. The physical associations within the composite hydrogel network include complexation, electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, hydrophobic interaction, and weak entanglements. These properties confer the hydrogel with high stretchability (770%), superconformability, self-adhesion (28 kPa on pigskin), and self-healing capabilities. By simulating the saltatory propagation effect of the nodes of Ranvier in the nervous system, the biomimetic hydrogel establishes high-fidelity epidermal electronic interfaces, offering benefits such as low interfacial contact impedance, significantly increased SNR (30 dB), as well as large-scale sensor array integration.

The second natural frequency is known to be nonlinear in temperature, and this will serve as the main focal point of this work. Cointegration is a method of normalising time series data with respect to one another - often strongly-correlated time series. Cointegration is used in this paper to remove effects from Environmental and Operational Variations, by cointegrating the first four natural frequencies for the Z24 Bridge data. The temperature effects on the natural frequency data are clearly visible within the data, and it is desirable, for the purposes of structural health monitoring, that these effects are removed. The univariate time series are embedded in higher-dimensional space, such that interesting topologies are formed. Topological data analysis is used to analyse the raw time series, and the cointegrated equivalents. A standard topological data analysis pipeline is enacted, where simplicial complexes are constructed from the embedded point clouds. Topological properties are then calculated from the simplicial complexes; such as the persistent homology.

For example, near-magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) commonly shows superconductivity, yet a TBG sample with one of the graphene layers rotationally aligned to a hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) cladding layer provided experimental observation of orbital ferromagnetism. To create samples with aligned graphene/hBN, researchers often align edges of exfoliated flakes that appear straight in optical micrographs. However, graphene or hBN can cleave along either zig-zag or armchair lattice directions, introducing a [Formula: see text] ambiguity in the relative orientation of two flakes. By characterizing the crystal lattice orientation of exfoliated flakes prior to stacking using Raman and second-harmonic generation for graphene and hBN, respectively, we unambiguously align monolayer graphene to hBN at a near-[Formula: see text], not [Formula: see text], relative twist angle. We confirm this alignment by torsional force microscopy of the graphene/hBN moiré on an open-face stack, and then by cryogenic transport measurements, after full encapsulation with a second, nonaligned hBN layer.

Here we provide a rigorous description of the stability of various multicluster states by studying their spectral properties in the thermodynamic limit. Not unlike the classical Kuramoto model, a natural frequency distribution with infinite support yields a population of drifting oscillators, which in turn guarantees that a portion of the spectrum is located on the imaginary axes, resulting in neutrally stable or unstable solutions.

We address this open problem by studying the Synchrony Alignment Function (SAF), which is an objective measure for the synchronization properties of a network of heterogeneous oscillators with given natural frequencies. We extend the SAF framework to analyze network-coupled oscillators with heterogeneous natural frequencies that are drawn as a multivariate random vector. Using probability theory for quadratic forms, we obtain expressions for the expectation and variance of the SAF for given network structures.

This study aims to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of allocryptopine on various targets and potential mechanisms that have not been previously explored in the literature. Initially, we used MTT and LDH methods to evaluate the effects of allocryptopine on cell viability in BV-2 cells exposed to LPS-induced damage. Subsequently, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), other inflammatory mediators (Cox-2 and iNOS), and p38 MAPK genes and proteins through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Also, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on NF-κB proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p-p50, and p-p65) through ELISA assay. Molecular docking analyses were performed to investigate the potential binding of allocryptopine to target proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p50, p65, MKK3, MKK4, MKK6, p38, AP-1 (c-Jun and ATF2), IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, Cox-2, and iNOS) associated with the TLR4, NF-κB, and p38 MAPK pathways. Our results indicate that allocryptopine exerts a comprehensive influence on pro-inflammatory cytokines and other inflammatory mediators by inhibiting TLR4 signaling and modulating the NF-κB and p38 MAPK pathways. The outcomes of our study suggest that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory efficacy of allocryptopine is intricately linked to the modulation of key molecular pathways associated with oxidative stress and inflammation.

However, the stochasticity of operational systems and the lack of forcing information can lead to inconsistent results. Quantifying the uncertainty of the recovered modal parameters through OMA is therefore of significant value. In this article, a new perspective on Bayesian OMA is proposed: a Bayesian stochastic subspace identification (SSI) algorithm. Distinct from existing approaches to Bayesian OMA, a hierarchical probabilistic model is embedded at the core of covariance-driven SSI. Through substitution of canonical correlation analysis with a Bayesian equivalent, posterior distributions over the modal properties are obtained. Two inference schemes are presented for the proposed Bayesian formulation: Markov Chain Monte Carlo and variational Bayes. Two case studies are then explored. The first is benchmark study using data from a simulated, multi degree-of-freedom, linear system. Following application of Bayesian SSI, it is shown that the same posterior is targeted and recovered by both inference schemes, with good agreement between the posterior mean and the conventional SSI result. The second study applies the variational form to data obtained from an in-service structure: The Z24 bridge. The results of this study are presented at single model orders, and then using a stabilisation diagram. The recovered posterior uncertainty is presented and compared to the classic SSI result. It is observed that the posterior distributions with mean values coinciding with the natural frequencies exhibit lower variance than values situated away from the natural frequencies.", "doi": null, "authors": [ "Brandon J.

However, inherent limitations, such as adaptability, adhesion, and conductivity, have presented challenges, thereby limiting the sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and stability of the physiological-electrode interface. In this study, we propose the concept of myelin sheath-inspired hydrogel epidermal electronics by incorporating numerous interpenetrating core-sheath-structured conductive nanofibers within a physically cross-linked polyelectrolyte network. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-coated sulfonated cellulose nanofibers (PEDOT:SCNFs) are synthesized through a simple solvent-catalyzed sulfonation process, followed by oxidative self-polymerization and ionic liquid (IL) shielding steps, achieving a low electrochemical impedance of 42 Ω. The physical associations within the composite hydrogel network include complexation, electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, hydrophobic interaction, and weak entanglements. These properties confer the hydrogel with high stretchability (770%), superconformability, self-adhesion (28 kPa on pigskin), and self-healing capabilities. By simulating the saltatory propagation effect of the nodes of Ranvier in the nervous system, the biomimetic hydrogel establishes high-fidelity epidermal electronic interfaces, offering benefits such as low interfacial contact impedance, significantly increased SNR (30 dB), as well as large-scale sensor array integration. The advanced biomimetic hydrogel holds tremendous potential for applications in electronic skin (e-skin), human-machine interfaces (HMIs), and healthcare assessment devices.", "journal": "ACS nano", "issn": [ "1936-086X" ], "authors": [ "Chencong Liu", "Yuanyuan Wang", "Shitao Shi", "Yubo Zheng", "Zewei Ye", "Jiaqi Liao", "Qingfeng Sun", "Baokang Dang", "Xiaoping Shen" ], "doi": "10.1021/acsnano.4c07677", "engine": "pubmed", "parsed_url": [ "https", "www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov", "/pubmed/39331416", "", "", "" ], "engines": [ "pubmed" ], "positions": [ 2 ], "score": 0.5, "category": "science" }, { "template": "paper.html", "url": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/39331413", "title": "Deterministic fabrication of graphene hexagonal boron nitride moiré superlattices.", "content": "The electronic properties of moiré heterostructures depend sensitively on the relative orientation between layers of the stack.

To create samples with aligned graphene/hBN, researchers often align edges of exfoliated flakes that appear straight in optical micrographs. However, graphene or hBN can cleave along either zig-zag or armchair lattice directions, introducing a [Formula: see text] ambiguity in the relative orientation of two flakes. By characterizing the crystal lattice orientation of exfoliated flakes prior to stacking using Raman and second-harmonic generation for graphene and hBN, respectively, we unambiguously align monolayer graphene to hBN at a near-[Formula: see text], not [Formula: see text], relative twist angle. We confirm this alignment by torsional force microscopy of the graphene/hBN moiré on an open-face stack, and then by cryogenic transport measurements, after full encapsulation with a second, nonaligned hBN layer.

This study aims to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of allocryptopine on various targets and potential mechanisms that have not been previously explored in the literature. Initially, we used MTT and LDH methods to evaluate the effects of allocryptopine on cell viability in BV-2 cells exposed to LPS-induced damage. Subsequently, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), other inflammatory mediators (Cox-2 and iNOS), and p38 MAPK genes and proteins through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Also, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on NF-κB proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p-p50, and p-p65) through ELISA assay. Molecular docking analyses were performed to investigate the potential binding of allocryptopine to target proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p50, p65, MKK3, MKK4, MKK6, p38, AP-1 (c-Jun and ATF2), IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, Cox-2, and iNOS) associated with the TLR4, NF-κB, and p38 MAPK pathways.

In such cases, a sensitivity analysis is often conducted, which investigates whether the observed association between treatment and outcome is due to effects caused by the treatment or it is due to hidden confounding. In general, a sensitivity analysis tries to infer the minimum amount of hidden biases needed in order to explain away the observed association between treatment and outcome, assuming that the treatment has no effect. If the needed bias is large, then the treatment is likely to have significant effects. The Rosenbaum sensitivity analysis is a modern approach for conducting sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies. It investigates what magnitude the maximum of the hidden biases from all matched sets needs to be in order to explain away the observed association, assuming that the treatment has no effect. However, such a sensitivity analysis can be overly conservative and pessimistic, especially when the investigators believe that some matched sets may have exceptionally large hidden biases. In this paper, we generalize Rosenbaum's framework to conduct sensitivity analysis on quantiles of hidden biases from all matched sets, which are more robust than the maximum. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis on all quantiles of hidden biases is simultaneously valid and is thus a free lunch added to the conventional sensitivity analysis.

However, inherent limitations, such as adaptability, adhesion, and conductivity, have presented challenges, thereby limiting the sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and stability of the physiological-electrode interface. In this study, we propose the concept of myelin sheath-inspired hydrogel epidermal electronics by incorporating numerous interpenetrating core-sheath-structured conductive nanofibers within a physically cross-linked polyelectrolyte network. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-coated sulfonated cellulose nanofibers (PEDOT:SCNFs) are synthesized through a simple solvent-catalyzed sulfonation process, followed by oxidative self-polymerization and ionic liquid (IL) shielding steps, achieving a low electrochemical impedance of 42 Ω. The physical associations within the composite hydrogel network include complexation, electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, hydrophobic interaction, and weak entanglements. These properties confer the hydrogel with high stretchability (770%), superconformability, self-adhesion (28 kPa on pigskin), and self-healing capabilities. By simulating the saltatory propagation effect of the nodes of Ranvier in the nervous system, the biomimetic hydrogel establishes high-fidelity epidermal electronic interfaces, offering benefits such as low interfacial contact impedance, significantly increased SNR (30 dB), as well as large-scale sensor array integration.

Unlike the binary treatment case, although widely needed in practice, sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies with treatment doses (i.e., non-binary treatments such as ordinal treatments or continuous treatments) still lacks solid foundations and valid methodologies. We fill in this blank by establishing theoretical foundations and novel methodologies under a generalized Rosenbaum bounds sensitivity analysis framework. First, we present a criterion for assessing the validity of sensitivity analysis in matched observational studies with treatment doses and use that criterion to justify the necessity of incorporating the treatment dose information into sensitivity analysis through generalized Rosenbaum sensitivity bounds. We also generalize Rosenbaum's classic sensitivity parameter $\\Gamma$ to the non-binary treatment case and prove its sufficiency. Second, we study the asymptotic properties of sensitivity analysis by generalizing Rosenbaum's classic design sensitivity and Bahadur efficiency for testing Fisher's sharp null to the non-binary treatment case and deriving novel formulas for them. Our theoretical results showed the importance of appropriately incorporating the treatment dose into a test, which is an intrinsic distinction with the binary treatment case. Third, for testing Neyman's weak null (i.e., null sample average treatment effect), we propose the first valid sensitivity analysis procedure for matching with treatment dose through generalizing an existing optimization-based sensitivity analysis for the binary treatment case, built on the generalized Rosenbaum sensitivity bounds and large-scale mixed integer programming.", "doi": null, "authors": [ "Siyu Heng", "Hyunseung Kang" ], "journal": null, "tags": [ "stat.ME", "math.ST", "stat.TH" ], "comments": null, "pdf_url": "http://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.14152v2", "engine": "arxiv", "parsed_url": [ "http", "arxiv.org", "/abs/2403.14152v2", "", "", "" ], "engines": [ "arxiv" ], "positions": [ 2 ], "score": 0.5, "category": "science" }, { "template": "paper.html", "url": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/39331413", "title": "Deterministic fabrication of graphene hexagonal boron nitride moiré superlattices.", "content": "The electronic properties of moiré heterostructures depend sensitively on the relative orientation between layers of the stack.

Subsequently, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), other inflammatory mediators (Cox-2 and iNOS), and p38 MAPK genes and proteins through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses.

As the evaluations of prognostic capacity, the survivals of groups with high/low expression of the biomarker are often estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference between groups is summarized via the hazard ratio (HR). The high/low expressions are usually determined by study-specific cutoff values, which brings heterogeneity over multiple prognosis studies and difficulty to synthesizing the results in a simple way. In meta-analysis of diagnostic studies with binary outcomes, the summary receiver operating characteristics (SROC) analysis provides a useful cutoff-free summary over studies. Recently, this methodology has been extended to the time-dependent SROC analysis for time-to-event outcomes in meta-analysis of prognosis studies. In this paper, we propose a sensitivity analysis method for evaluating the impact of publication bias on the time-dependent SROC analysis. Our proposal extends the recently introduced sensitivity analysis method for meta-analysis of diagnostic studies based on the bivariate normal model on sensitivity and specificity pairs. To model the selective publication process specific to prognosis studies, we introduce a trivariate model on the time-dependent sensitivity and specificity and the log-transformed HR.

In such cases, a sensitivity analysis is often conducted, which investigates whether the observed association between treatment and outcome is due to effects caused by the treatment or it is due to hidden confounding. In general, a sensitivity analysis tries to infer the minimum amount of hidden biases needed in order to explain away the observed association between treatment and outcome, assuming that the treatment has no effect. If the needed bias is large, then the treatment is likely to have significant effects. The Rosenbaum sensitivity analysis is a modern approach for conducting sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies. It investigates what magnitude the maximum of the hidden biases from all matched sets needs to be in order to explain away the observed association, assuming that the treatment has no effect. However, such a sensitivity analysis can be overly conservative and pessimistic, especially when the investigators believe that some matched sets may have exceptionally large hidden biases. In this paper, we generalize Rosenbaum's framework to conduct sensitivity analysis on quantiles of hidden biases from all matched sets, which are more robust than the maximum. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis on all quantiles of hidden biases is simultaneously valid and is thus a free lunch added to the conventional sensitivity analysis. The proposed approach works for general outcomes, general matched studies and general test statistics. Finally, we demonstrate that the proposed sensitivity analysis also works for bounded null hypotheses as long as the test statistic satisfies certain properties.

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-coated sulfonated cellulose nanofibers (PEDOT:SCNFs) are synthesized through a simple solvent-catalyzed sulfonation process, followed by oxidative self-polymerization and ionic liquid (IL) shielding steps, achieving a low electrochemical impedance of 42 Ω. The physical associations within the composite hydrogel network include complexation, electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, hydrophobic interaction, and weak entanglements. These properties confer the hydrogel with high stretchability (770%), superconformability, self-adhesion (28 kPa on pigskin), and self-healing capabilities. By simulating the saltatory propagation effect of the nodes of Ranvier in the nervous system, the biomimetic hydrogel establishes high-fidelity epidermal electronic interfaces, offering benefits such as low interfacial contact impedance, significantly increased SNR (30 dB), as well as large-scale sensor array integration.

Unlike the binary treatment case, although widely needed in practice, sensitivity analysis for matched observational studies with treatment doses (i.e., non-binary treatments such as ordinal treatments or continuous treatments) still lacks solid foundations and valid methodologies. We fill in this blank by establishing theoretical foundations and novel methodologies under a generalized Rosenbaum bounds sensitivity analysis framework. First, we present a criterion for assessing the validity of sensitivity analysis in matched observational studies with treatment doses and use that criterion to justify the necessity of incorporating the treatment dose information into sensitivity analysis through generalized Rosenbaum sensitivity bounds. We also generalize Rosenbaum's classic sensitivity parameter $\\Gamma$ to the non-binary treatment case and prove its sufficiency. Second, we study the asymptotic properties of sensitivity analysis by generalizing Rosenbaum's classic design sensitivity and Bahadur efficiency for testing Fisher's sharp null to the non-binary treatment case and deriving novel formulas for them. Our theoretical results showed the importance of appropriately incorporating the treatment dose into a test, which is an intrinsic distinction with the binary treatment case. Third, for testing Neyman's weak null (i.e., null sample average treatment effect), we propose the first valid sensitivity analysis procedure for matching with treatment dose through generalizing an existing optimization-based sensitivity analysis for the binary treatment case, built on the generalized Rosenbaum sensitivity bounds and large-scale mixed integer programming.", "doi": null, "authors": [ "Siyu Heng", "Hyunseung Kang" ], "journal": null, "tags": [ "stat.ME", "math.ST", "stat.TH" ], "comments": null, "pdf_url": "http://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.14152v2", "engine": "arxiv", "parsed_url": [ "http", "arxiv.org", "/abs/2403.14152v2", "", "", "" ], "engines": [ "arxiv" ], "positions": [ 2 ], "score": 0.5, "category": "science" }, { "template": "paper.html", "url": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/39331413", "title": "Deterministic fabrication of graphene hexagonal boron nitride moiré superlattices.", "content": "The electronic properties of moiré heterostructures depend sensitively on the relative orientation between layers of the stack.

To create samples with aligned graphene/hBN, researchers often align edges of exfoliated flakes that appear straight in optical micrographs. However, graphene or hBN can cleave along either zig-zag or armchair lattice directions, introducing a [Formula: see text] ambiguity in the relative orientation of two flakes. By characterizing the crystal lattice orientation of exfoliated flakes prior to stacking using Raman and second-harmonic generation for graphene and hBN, respectively, we unambiguously align monolayer graphene to hBN at a near-[Formula: see text], not [Formula: see text], relative twist angle. We confirm this alignment by torsional force microscopy of the graphene/hBN moiré on an open-face stack, and then by cryogenic transport measurements, after full encapsulation with a second, nonaligned hBN layer.

To address this limitation, we report here a visible-light photochemical domino reaction including: the in situ generation of thiocarbonyls, though a Norrish type II fragmentation of pyrenacyl sulfides, and the aforementioned thia-Paternò-Büchi reaction with various non-volatile electron-rich alkenes. The highly efficient synthesis of a wide range of unprecedented thietanes from intrinsically highly unstable thiocabonyls, such as thioaldehydes and aliphatic thioketones, was made possible by the multitasking capability of pyrenacyl sulfides, as a source of thiocarbonyl substrates and as precursors of 1-acetylpyrene, which acts as the photocatalyst for the thia-Paternò-Büchi reaction. The photosensitizer properties of the latter have been experimentally established and a triplet-triplet Dexter energy transfer-based mechanism is proposed.", "journal": "Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English)", "issn": [ "1521-3773" ], "authors": [ "Gabriel Cormier", "Clémence Allain", "Thomas Boddaert" ], "doi": "10.1002/anie.202412602", "publishedDate": "2024-09-26T00:00:00", "engine": "pubmed", "parsed_url": [ "https", "www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov", "/pubmed/39331387", "", "", "" ], "engines": [ "pubmed" ], "positions": [ 5 ], "score": 0.2, "category": "science" }, { "template": "paper.html", "url": "http://arxiv.org/abs/2212.11727v1", "title": "A topological analysis of cointegrated data: a Z24 Bridge case study", "publishedDate": "2022-09-12T12:07:00", "content": "The paper studies the topological changes from before and after cointegration, for the natural frequencies of the Z24 Bridge. The second natural frequency is known to be nonlinear in temperature, and this will serve as the main focal point of this work. Cointegration is a method of normalising time series data with respect to one another - often strongly-correlated time series. Cointegration is used in this paper to remove effects from Environmental and Operational Variations, by cointegrating the first four natural frequencies for the Z24 Bridge data. The temperature effects on the natural frequency data are clearly visible within the data, and it is desirable, for the purposes of structural health monitoring, that these effects are removed. The univariate time series are embedded in higher-dimensional space, such that interesting topologies are formed. Topological data analysis is used to analyse the raw time series, and the cointegrated equivalents. A standard topological data analysis pipeline is enacted, where simplicial complexes are constructed from the embedded point clouds. Topological properties are then calculated from the simplicial complexes; such as the persistent homology. The persistent homology is then analysed, to determine the topological structure of all the time series.", "doi": null, "authors": [ "Tristan Gowdridge", "Elizabeth Cross", "Nikolaos Dervilis", "Keith Worden" ], "journal": null, "tags": [ "math.AT", "cs.LG", "cs.SY", "eess.SY" ], "comments": "arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2209.05484,\n arXiv:2209.05134", "pdf_url": "http://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.11727v1", "engine": "arxiv", "parsed_url": [ "http", "arxiv.org", "/abs/2212.11727v1", "", "", "" ], "engines": [ "arxiv" ], "positions": [ 5 ], "score": 0.2, "category": "science" }, { "template": "paper.html", "url": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/39331384", "title": "The many facets of RuII(dppe)2 acetylide compounds.", "content": "In this contribution, we describe the various research domains in which RuII alkynyl derivatives are involved.

While most sensitivity analysis methods deal with scalar outputs, this paper introduces a novel approach for performing sensitivity analysis with set-valued outputs. Our innovative methodology is designed for excursion sets, but is versatile enough to be applied to set-valued simulators, including those found in viability fields, or when working with maps like pollutant concentration maps or flood zone maps. We propose to use the Hilbert-Schmidt Independence Criterion (HSIC) with a kernel designed for set-valued outputs. After proposing a probabilistic framework for random sets, a first contribution is the proof that this kernel is characteristic, an essential property in a kernel-based sensitivity analysis context. To measure the contribution of each input, we then propose to use HSIC-ANOVA indices. With these indices, we can identify which inputs should be neglected (screening) and we can rank the others according to their influence (ranking). The estimation of these indices is also adapted to the set-valued outputs.

This study aims to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of allocryptopine on various targets and potential mechanisms that have not been previously explored in the literature. Initially, we used MTT and LDH methods to evaluate the effects of allocryptopine on cell viability in BV-2 cells exposed to LPS-induced damage. Subsequently, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), other inflammatory mediators (Cox-2 and iNOS), and p38 MAPK genes and proteins through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Also, we evaluated the impact of allocryptopine on NF-κB proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p-p50, and p-p65) through ELISA assay. Molecular docking analyses were performed to investigate the potential binding of allocryptopine to target proteins (TLR4, MyD88, IκBα, p50, p65, MKK3, MKK4, MKK6, p38, AP-1 (c-Jun and ATF2), IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, Cox-2, and iNOS) associated with the TLR4, NF-κB, and p38 MAPK pathways. Our results indicate that allocryptopine exerts a comprehensive influence on pro-inflammatory cytokines and other inflammatory mediators by inhibiting TLR4 signaling and modulating the NF-κB and p38 MAPK pathways. The outcomes of our study suggest that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory efficacy of allocryptopine is intricately linked to the modulation of key molecular pathways associated with oxidative stress and inflammation.

As the evaluations of prognostic capacity, the survivals of groups with high/low expression of the biomarker are often estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference between groups is summarized via the hazard ratio (HR). The high/low expressions are usually determined by study-specific cutoff values, which brings heterogeneity over multiple prognosis studies and difficulty to synthesizing the results in a simple way. In meta-analysis of diagnostic studies with binary outcomes, the summary receiver operating characteristics (SROC) analysis provides a useful cutoff-free summary over studies. Recently, this methodology has been extended to the time-dependent SROC analysis for time-to-event outcomes in meta-analysis of prognosis studies. In this paper, we propose a sensitivity analysis method for evaluating the impact of publication bias on the time-dependent SROC analysis. Our proposal extends the recently introduced sensitivity analysis method for meta-analysis of diagnostic studies based on the bivariate normal model on sensitivity and specificity pairs. To model the selective publication process specific to prognosis studies, we introduce a trivariate model on the time-dependent sensitivity and specificity and the log-transformed HR. Based on the proved asymptotic property of the trivariate model, we introduce a likelihood based sensitivity analysis method based on the conditional likelihood constrained by the expected proportion of published studies.
