Jet cross sections at the LHC and the quest for higher precision.

ABSTRACT: We perform a phenomenological study of Z plus jet, Higgs plus jet and di-jet production at the Large Hadron Collider. We investigate in particular the dependence of the leading jet cross section on the jet radius as a function of the jet transverse momentum. Theoretical predictions are obtained using perturbative QCD calculations at the next-to and next-to-next-to-leading order, using a range of renormalization and factorization scales. The fixed order predictions are compared to results obtained from matching next-to-leading order calculations to parton showers. A study of the scale dependence as a function of the jet radius is used to provide a better estimate of the scale uncertainty for small jet sizes. The non-perturbative corrections as a function of jet radius are estimated from different generators.

Precision Oncology-The Quest for Evidence.

Project description:The molecular characterization of patient tumors provides a rational and highly promising approach for guiding oncologists in treatment decision-making. Notwithstanding, genomic medicine still remains in its infancy, with innovators and early adopters continuing to carry a significant portion of the clinical and financial risk. Numerous innovative precision oncology trials have emerged globally to address the associated need for evidence of clinical utility. These studies seek to capitalize on the power of predictive biomarkers and/or treatment decision support analytics, to expeditiously and cost-effectively demonstrate the positive impact of these technologies on drug resistance/response, patient survival, and/or quality of life. Here, we discuss the molecular foundations of these approaches and highlight the diversity of innovative trial strategies that are capitalizing on this emergent knowledge. We conclude that, as increasing volumes of clinico-molecular outcomes data become available, in future, we will begin to transition away from expert systems for treatment decision support (TDS), towards the power of AI-assisted TDS-an evolution that may truly revolutionize the nature and success of cancer patient care.

Measurement of nuclear reaction cross sections by using Cherenkov radiation toward high-precision proton therapy.

Project description:Monitoring the in vivo dose distribution in proton therapy is desirable for the accurate irradiation of a tumor. Although positron emission tomography (PET) is widely used for confirmation, the obtained distribution of positron emitters produced by the protons does not trace the dose distribution due to the different physical processes. To estimate the accurate dose from the PET image, the cross sections of nuclear reactions that produce positron emitters are important yet far from being sufficient. In this study, we measured the cross sections of 16O(p,x)15O, 16O(p,x)13N, and 16O(p,x)11C with a wide-energy range (approximately 5-70?MeV) by observing the temporal evolution of the Cherenkov radiation emitted from positrons generated via ?+ decay along the proton path. Furthermore, we implemented the new cross sectional data into a conventional Monte Carlo (MC) simulation, so that a direct comparison was possible with the PET measurement. We confirmed that our MC results showed good agreement with the experimental data, both in terms of the spatial distributions and temporal evolutions. Although this is the first attempt at using the Cherenkov radiation in the measurements of nuclear cross sections, the obtained results suggest the method is convenient and widely applicable for high precision proton therapy.

Automated flow injection method for the high precision determination of drift tube ion mobility collision cross sections.

Project description:The field of ion mobility-based omics studies requires high-quality collision cross section (CCS) libraries to effectively utilize CCS as a molecular descriptor. Absolute CCS values with the highest precision are obtained on drift tube instruments by measuring the drift time of ions at multiple drift voltages, commonly referred to as a 'stepped field' experiment. However, generating large scale absolute CCS libraries from drift tube instruments is time consuming due to the current lack of high-throughput methods. This communication reports a fully automated stepped-field method to acquire absolute CCS on commercially available equipment. Using a drift tube ion mobility-mass spectrometer (DTIM-MS) coupled to a minimally modified liquid chromatography (LC) system, CCS values can be measured online with a carefully timed flow injection analysis (FIA) experiment. Results demonstrate that the FIA stepped-field method yields CCS values which are of high analytical precision (<0.4% relative standard deviation, RSD) and accuracy (?0.4% difference) comparable to CCS values obtained using traditional direct-infusion stepped-field experiments. This high-throughput CCS method consumes very little sample volume (20 ?L) and will expedite the generation of large-scale CCS libraries to support molecular identification within global untargeted studies.

Machine Learning for Absorption Cross Sections.

Project description:We present a machine learning (ML) method to accelerate the nuclear ensemble approach (NEA) for computing absorption cross sections. ML-NEA is used to calculate cross sections on vast ensembles of nuclear geometries to reduce the error due to insufficient statistical sampling. The electronic properties-excitation energies and oscillator strengths-are calculated with a reference electronic structure method only for a relatively few points in the ensemble. The KREG model (kernel-ridge-regression-based ML combined with the RE descriptor) as implemented in MLatom is used to predict these properties for the remaining tens of thousands of points in the ensemble without incurring much of additional computational cost. We demonstrate for two examples, benzene and a 9-dicyanomethylene derivative of acridine, that ML-NEA can produce statistically converged cross sections even for very challenging cases and even with as few as several hundreds of training points.

Neuroanatomy Learning: Augmented Reality vs. Cross-Sections.

Project description:Neuroanatomy education is a challenging field which could benefit from modern innovations, such as augmented reality (AR) applications. This study investigates the differences on test scores, cognitive load, and motivation after neuroanatomy learning using AR applications or using cross-sections of the brain. Prior to two practical assignments, a pretest (extended matching questions, double-choice questions and a test on cross-sectional anatomy) and a mental rotation test (MRT) were completed. Sex and MRT scores were used to stratify students over the two groups. The two practical assignments were designed to study (1) general brain anatomy and (2) subcortical structures. Subsequently, participants completed a posttest similar to the pretest and a motivational questionnaire. Finally, a focus group interview was conducted to appraise participants' perceptions. Medical and biomedical students (n = 31); 19 males (61.3%) and 12 females (38.7%), mean age 19.2 ± 1.7 years participated in this experiment. Students who worked with cross-sections (n = 16) showed significantly more improvement on test scores than students who worked with GreyMapp-AR (P = 0.035) (n = 15). Further analysis showed that this difference was primarily caused by significant improvement on the cross-sectional questions. Students in the cross-section group, moreover, experienced a significantly higher germane (P = 0.009) and extraneous cognitive load (P = 0.016) than students in the GreyMapp-AR group. No significant differences were found in motivational scores. To conclude, this study suggests that AR applications can play a role in future anatomy education as an add-on educational tool, especially in learning three-dimensional relations of anatomical structures.

Collision Cross Sections for Native Proteomics: Challenges and Opportunities.

Project description:Recent advancements place a comprehensive catalog of protein structure, oligomeric state, sequence, and modification status tentatively within reach, thus providing an unprecedented roadmap to therapies for many human diseases. To achieve this goal, revolutionary technologies capable of bridging key gaps in our ability to simultaneously measure protein composition and structure must be developed. Much of the current progress in this area has been catalyzed by mass spectrometry (MS) tools, which have become an indispensable resource for interrogating the structural proteome. For example, methods associated with native proteomics seek to comprehensively capture and quantify the endogenous assembly states for all proteins within an organism. Such technologies have often been partnered with ion mobility (IM) separation, from which collision cross section (CCS) information can be rapidly extracted to provide protein size information. IM technologies are also being developed that utilize CCS values to enhance the confidence of protein identification workflows derived from liquid chromatography-IM-MS analyses of enzymatically produced peptide mixtures. Such parallel advancements in technology beg the question: can CCS values prove similarly useful for the identification of intact proteins and their complexes in native proteomics? In this perspective, I examine current evidence and technology trends to explore the promise and limitations of such CCS information for the comprehensive analysis of multiprotein complexes from cellular mixtures.

Calculating Photoabsorption Cross-Sections for Atmospheric Volatile Organic Compounds.

Project description:Characterizing the photochemical reactivity of transient volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in our atmosphere begins with a proper understanding of their abilities to absorb sunlight. Unfortunately, the photoabsorption cross-sections for a large number of transient VOCs remain unavailable experimentally due to their short lifetime or high reactivity. While structure-activity relationships (SARs) have been successfully employed to estimate the unknown photoabsorption cross-sections of VOCs, computational photochemistry offers another promising strategy to predict not only the vertical electronic transitions of a given molecule but also the width and shape of the bands forming its absorption spectrum. In this work, we focus on the use of the nuclear ensemble approach (NEA) to determine the photoabsorption cross-section of four exemplary VOCs, namely, acrolein, methylhydroperoxide, 2-hydroperoxy-propanal, and (microsolvated) pyruvic acid. More specifically, we analyze the influence that different strategies for sampling the ground-state nuclear density-Wigner sampling and ab initio molecular dynamics with a quantum thermostat-can have on the simulated absorption spectra. We highlight the potential shortcomings of using uncoupled harmonic modes within Wigner sampling of nuclear density to describe flexible or microsolvated VOCs and some limitations of SARs for multichromophoric VOCs. Our results suggest that the NEA could constitute a powerful tool for the atmospheric community to predict the photoabsorption cross-section for transient VOCs.
