Entropyexplorer: An R Package For Computing And Comparing Differential Shannon Entropy, Kai Wang, Charles A. Philips, Arnold M. Saxton, Michael A. Langston
Entropyexplorer: An R Package For Computing And Comparing Differential Shannon Entropy, Kai Wang, Charles A. Philips, Arnold M. Saxton, Michael A. Langston
Department of Computer Science Faculty Publications
Background: Differential Shannon entropy (DSE) and differential coefficient of variation (DCV) are effective metrics for the study of gene expression data. They can serve to augment differential expression (DE), and be applied in numerous settings whenever one seeks to measure differences in variability rather than mere differences in magnitude. A general purpose, easily accessible tool for DSE and DCV would help make these two metrics available to data scientists. Automated p value computations would additionally be useful, and are often easier to interpret than raw test statistic values alone.
Results: EntropyExplorer is an R package for calculating DSE, DCV and …

In diagnostic medicine, the test that determines the true disease status without an error is referred to as the gold standard. Even when a gold standard exists, it is extremely difficult to verify each patient due to the issues of costeffectiveness and invasive nature of the procedures. In practice some of the patients with test results are not selected for verification of the disease status which results in verification bias for diagnostic tests. The ability of the diagnostic test to correctly identify the patients with and without the disease can be evaluated by measures such as sensitivity, specificity and predictive …

We performed genetic analysis of Bartonella isolates from rodent populations from Heixiazi Island in northeast China. Animals were captured at four sites representing grassland and brushwood habitats in 2011 and examined for the prevalence and genetic diversity of Bartonella species, their relationship to their hosts, and geographic distribution. A high prevalence (57.7%) and a high diversity (14 unique genotypes which belonged to 8 clades) of Bartonella spp. were detected from 71 rodents comprising 5 species and 4 genera from 3 rodent families. Forty-one Bartonella isolates were recovered and identified, including B. taylorii, B. japonica, B. coopersplainsensis, B. grahamii, B. washoensis …

Extended Lindley Poisson Distribution, Mavis Pararai, Gayan Warahena-Liyanage, Broderick O. Oluyede
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
The Extended Lindley Poisson (ELP) distribution which is an extension of the extended Lindley distribution [2] is introduced and its properties are explored. This new distribution represents a more flexible model for the lifetime data. Some statistical properties of the proposed distribution including the shapes of the density, hazard rate functions, moments, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves are explored. Entropy measures and the distribution of the order statistics are given. The maximum likelihood estimation technique is used to estimate the model parameters and a simulation study is conducted to investigate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates. Finally, we present applications …

Monitoring For Adverse Events Post Marketing Approval Of Drugs, Karl E. Peace, Macaulay Okwuokenye
Biostatistics Faculty Publications
This brief communication provides information to those developing monitoring plans for serious adverse events (SAE’s) following regulatory approval of a new drug. In addition, we (1) illustrate how many patients would need to be treated in order to have high confidence of seeing at least 1 pre-specified SAE, (2) show that absence of proof of a SAE is not proof of absence of that SAE, and (3) identify statistical methodology that could be used for formal statistical monitoring of SAE’s.

Molecular Gas And Star Formation In The Cartwheel, James L. Higdon, Sarah J.U. Higdon, Sergio Martín Ruiz, Richard J. Rand
Department of Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications
Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array 12CO(J = 1–0) observations are used to study the cold molecular ISM of the Cartwheel ring galaxy and its relation to H i and massive star formation (SF). CO moment maps find (2.69 ± 0.05) × 109 M⊙ of H2 associated with the inner ring (72%) and nucleus (28%) for a Galactic ICO-to- conversion factor (αCO). The spokes and disk are not detected. Analysis of the inner ring's CO kinematics shows it to be expanding (Vexp = 68.9 ± 4.9 km s−1), implying an ≈70 Myr age. Stack averaging …
Tight Super-Edge-Graceful Labelings Of Trees And Their Applications, Alex Collins, Colton Magnant, Hua Wang
Tight Super-Edge-Graceful Labelings Of Trees And Their Applications, Alex Collins, Colton Magnant, Hua Wang
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
The concept of graceful labeling of graphs has been extensively studied. In 1994, Mitchem and Simoson introduced a stronger concept called super-edge-graceful labeling for some classes of graphs. Among many other interesting pioneering results, Mitchem and Simoson provided a simple but powerful recursive way of constructing super-edge-graceful trees of odd order. In this note, we present a stronger concept of “tight” super-edge-graceful labeling. Such a super-edge graceful labeling has an additional constraint on the edge and vertices with the largest and smallest labels. This concept enables us to recursively construct tight super-edge-graceful trees of any order. As applications, we provide …

On The Stability Of Cycles By Delayed Feedback Control, Dmitriy Dmitrishin, Paul Hagelstein, Anna Khamitova, Alexander M. Stokolos
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
We present a delayed feedback control (DFC) mechanism for stabilizing cycles of one dimensional discrete time systems. In particular, we consider a delayed feedback control for stabilizingT-cycles of a differentiable functionf:R→Rof the form
x(k+1)=f(x(k))+u(k)
where
u(k)=(a1−1)f(x(k))+a2f(x(k−T))+...+aNf(x(k−(N−1)T)),
with a1+...+aN=1. Following an approach of Morgül, we construct a map F:RT+1→RT+1 whose fixed points correspond to T-cycles of f. We then analyze the local stability of the above DFC mechanism by evaluating the stability of the corresponding equilibrum points of F. We associate to each periodic orbit of f an …

Gorenstein Flat Preenvelopes, Alina Iacob
Gorenstein Flat Preenvelopes, Alina Iacob
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
We consider a two sided noetherian ring R such that the character modules of Gorenstein injective left R-modules are Gorenstein flat right R-modules. We then prove that the class of Gorenstein flat right R-modules is preenveloping. We also show that the class of Gorenstein flat complexes of right R-modules is preenevloping in Ch(R).
In the second part of the paper we give examples of rings with the property that the character modules of Gorenstein injective modules are Gorenstein flat. We prove that any two sided noetherian ring R with i.d.Rop R < 1 has the desired property. We also prove that if R is a two sided noetherian ring with a dualizing bimodule R VR and such that R is left n-perfect for some positive integer n, then the character modules of Gorenstein injective modules are Gorenstein flat.

A Multilevel Analysis Of Neighborhood Socioeconomic Effect On Preterm Births In Georgia, Usa, Wei Tu, Jun Tu, Stuart H. Tedders
School of Earth, Environment, and Sustainability Faculty Publications
This study estimates the neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) effect on the risk of preterm birth (PTB) using multilevel regression (MLR) models. Birth data retrieved from year 2000 and 2010 Georgia Vital Records were linked to their respective census tracts. Principle component analysis (PCA) was performed on nine selected census variables and the first two principal components (Fac1 and Fac2) were used to represent the neighborhood-level SES in the MLR models. Two-level random intercept MLR models were specified using 122,744 and 112,578 live and singleton births at the individual level and 1613 and 1952 census tracts at the neighborhood level, for …

Contracting Endomorphisms And Dualizing Complexes, Saeed Nasseh, Sean Sather-Wagstaff
Contracting Endomorphisms And Dualizing Complexes, Saeed Nasseh, Sean Sather-Wagstaff
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
We investigate how one can detect the dualizing property for a chain complex over a commutative local Noetherian ring R. Our focus is on homological properties of contracting endomorphisms of R, e.g., the Frobenius endomorphism when R contains a field of positive characteristic. For instance, in this case, when R is F-finite and C is a semidualizing R-complex, we prove that the following conditions are equivalent: (i) C is a dualizing R-complex; (ii) C ∼RHomR(nR,C) for some n > 0; (iii) GC-dimnR < ∞ and C is derived …
Yinyang Bipolar Quantum Geometry And Bipolar Quantum Superposition Part I—A Background Independent Geometrical And Logical Exposition Of Dirac 3-Polarizer Experiment, Wen-Ran Zhang, Francesco Marchetti
Yinyang Bipolar Quantum Geometry And Bipolar Quantum Superposition Part I—A Background Independent Geometrical And Logical Exposition Of Dirac 3-Polarizer Experiment, Wen-Ran Zhang, Francesco Marchetti
Department of Computer Science Faculty Publications
Bipolar quantum agent (BQA), bipolar quantum geometry (BQG) and bipolar dynamic logic (BDL) are introduced based on bipolar complementarity – a logical extension to Niels Bohr’s particle-wave YinYang duality principle. Complete geometrical background independence is proposed and BQG is proven completely background independent which leads to the notion of bipolar quantum superposition – an equilibrium-based logical approach to superposition. It is shown that the logical linearity of BDL can be unified with the physical nonlinearity of bipolar dynamic equilibrium. It is proven that a single polarized photon as a BQA can be logically channeled through the three polarizers in Dirac’s …

Yinyang Bipolar Quantum Geometry And Bipolar Quantum Superposition Part Ii—Toward An Equilibrium-Based Analytical Paradigm Of Quantum Mechanics And Quantum Biology, Wen-Ran Zhang, Francesco Marchetti
Department of Computer Science Faculty Publications
In Part I of this paper, YinYang bipolar quantum agent (BQA), bipolar quantum geometry (BQG) and 2-dimensional generic bipolar quantum superposition are introduced with a geometrical and logical exposition of Dirac 3-polarizer experiment. While the exposition qualifies BQG as a geometry of light, it is shown in this paper that the logical exposition can be extended to an analytical paradigm of quantum mechanics and quantum biology. It is shown that BQG as the geometry of light is also the geometry of Nature with a logical unification of matter and antimatter atoms into a bipolar quantum cellular automaton (BQCA) through multidimensional …

A Survey Of Mathematical Models Of Dengue Fever, James P. Braselton, Iurii Bakach
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
In this paper, we compare and contrast five models of dengue fever, a serious illness that affects tropical and subtropical areas around the world. We evaluate each model using different scenarios and identify the strengths and weakness of each of the models. The goal of our analysis is to indicate the strengths and weaknesses of current mathematical models of dengue fever that should assist future researchers in forming models that accurately measure the variables they are studying that affect the spread and progression of the disease.

Conditions on the Koszul complex of a noetherian local ring R guarantee that TorRi(M,N) is non-zero for infinitely many i, when M and N are finitely generated R-modules of infinite projective dimension. These conditions are obtained from results concerning Tor of differential graded modules over certain trivial extensions of commutative differential graded algebras.

Controllable And Switchable Drug Delivery Of Ibuprofen From Temperature Responsive Composite Nanofibers, Toan Tran, Mariana Hernandez, Dhruvil Patel, Elena Burns, Vanessa Peterman, Ji Wu
Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Publications
Composited electrospun nanofibers made of temperature-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) and biodegradable poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) can be utilized for ‘on-demand’ and controlled drug release of ibuprofen without burst effect for potential pharmaceutical applications. Three types of nanofibers, PCL, pNIPAM and pNIPAM/PCL composite NFs containing ibuprofen were fabricated using electrospinning techniques. Ibuprofen release rates from PCL NFs are not affected by the temperature in the range of 22–34°C (less than 10%). In contrast, the ibuprofen release rates from pNIPAM NFs are very sensitive to the change in temperature, which is five times higher at 22°C compared to 34°C. However, there is a serious …

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC), a standardized lossy compression scheme for digital audio, which was designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, generally achieves better sound quality than MP3 at similar bit rates. While AAC is also the default or standard audio format for many devices and AAC audio files may be presented as important digital evidences, the authentication of the audio files is highly needed but relatively missing. In this paper, we propose a scheme to expose tampered AAC audio streams that are encoded at the same encoding bit-rate. Specifically, we design a shift-recompression based method to retrieve …
