Approximate Representations of Shaped Pulses Using the Homotopy Analysis Method.

ABSTRACT: The evolution of nuclear spin magnetization during a radiofrequency pulse in the absence of relaxation or coupling interactions can be described by three Euler angles. The Euler angles in turn can be obtained from the solution of a Riccati differential equation; however, analytic solutions exist only for rectangular and chirp pulses. The Homotopy Analysis Method is used to obtain new approximate solutions to the Riccati equation for shaped radiofrequency pulses in NMR spectroscopy. The results of even relatively low orders of approximation are highly accurate and can be calculated very efficiently. The results are extended in a second application of the Homotopy Analysis Method to represent relaxation as a perturbation of the magnetization trajectory calculated in the absence of relaxation. The Homotopy Analysis Method is powerful and flexible and is likely to have other applications in magnetic resonance.

ENDOR with band-selective shaped inversion pulses.

Project description:Electron Nuclear DOuble Resonance (ENDOR) is based on the measurement of nuclear transition frequencies through detection of changes in the polarization of electron transitions. In Davies ENDOR, the initial polarization is generated by a selective microwave inversion pulse. The rectangular inversion pulses typically used are characterized by a relatively low selectivity, with full inversion achieved only for a limited number of spin packets with small resonance offsets. With the introduction of pulse shaping to EPR, the rectangular inversion pulses can be replaced with shaped pulses with increased selectivity. Band-selective inversion pulses are characterized by almost rectangular inversion profiles, leading to full inversion for spin packets with resonance offsets within the pulse excitation bandwidth and leaving spin packets outside the excitation bandwidth largely unaffected. Here, we explore the consequences of using different band-selective amplitude-modulated pulses designed for NMR as the inversion pulse in ENDOR. We find an increased sensitivity for small hyperfine couplings compared to rectangular pulses of the same bandwidth. In echo-detected Davies-type ENDOR, finite Fourier series inversion pulses combine the advantages of increased absolute ENDOR sensitivity of short rectangular inversion pulses and increased sensitivity for small hyperfine couplings of long rectangular inversion pulses. The use of pulses with an almost rectangular frequency-domain profile also allows for increased control of the hyperfine contrast selectivity. At X-band, acquisition of echo transients as a function of radiofrequency and appropriate selection of integration windows during data processing allows efficient separation of contributions from weakly and strongly coupled nuclei in overlapping ENDOR spectra within a single experiment.

Polee: RNA-Seq analysis using approximate likelihood.

Project description:The analysis of mRNA transcript abundance with RNA-Seq is a central tool in molecular biology research, but often analyses fail to account for the uncertainty in these estimates, which can be significant, especially when trying to disentangle isoforms or duplicated genes. Preserving uncertainty necessitates a full probabilistic model of the all the sequencing reads, which quickly becomes intractable, as experiments can consist of billions of reads. To overcome these limitations, we propose a new method of approximating the likelihood function of a sparse mixture model, using a technique we call the Pólya tree transformation. We demonstrate that substituting this approximation for the real thing achieves most of the benefits with a fraction of the computational costs, leading to more accurate detection of differential transcript expression and transcript coexpression.

Nonlinear stimulus representations in neural circuits with approximate excitatory-inhibitory balance.

Project description:Balanced excitation and inhibition is widely observed in cortex. How does this balance shape neural computations and stimulus representations? This question is often studied using computational models of neuronal networks in a dynamically balanced state. But balanced network models predict a linear relationship between stimuli and population responses. So how do cortical circuits implement nonlinear representations and computations? We show that every balanced network architecture admits stimuli that break the balanced state and these breaks in balance push the network into a "semi-balanced state" characterized by excess inhibition to some neurons, but an absence of excess excitation. The semi-balanced state produces nonlinear stimulus representations and nonlinear computations, is unavoidable in networks driven by multiple stimuli, is consistent with cortical recordings, and has a direct mathematical relationship to artificial neural networks.

One-Step In Situ Patternable Reduction of a Ag-rGO Hybrid Using Temporally Shaped Femtosecond Pulses.

Project description:In recent years, metallic nanoparticle (NP)-two-dimensional material hybrids have been widely used for photocatalysis and photoreduction. Here, we introduce a femtosecond laser reduction approach that relies on the repetitive ablation of recast layers by usi-ng temporally shaped pulses to achieve the fast fabrication of metallic NP-two-dimensional material hybrids. We selectively deposited silver-reduced graphene oxide (Ag-rGO) hybrids on different substrates under various fabrication conditions. The deposition of the hybrids was attributed to the redistribution of the cooling ejected plume after multiple radiation pulses and the exchange of carriers with ejected plume ions containing activated species such as small carbon clusters and H2O. The proposed one-step in situ fabrication method is a competitive fabrication process that eliminates the additive separation process and exhibits morphological controllability. The Ag-rGO hybrids demonstrate considerable potential for chemomolecular and biomolecular detection because the surface-enhanced Raman scattering signal of the enhancement factor reached 4.04 × 108.

Heat and mass transfer analysis of s-PTT nanofluid in microchannels under combined electroosmotic and pressure-driven flows with wall slip using the homotopy perturbation method.

Project description:The heat and mass transfer of the electroosmotic flow in microchannel transporting viscoelastic nanofluid is investigated considering Brownian motion of nanoparticles and slip boundary conditions. The simplified Phan-Thien-Tanner model is employed to describe the rheological behavior of fluid and the nonlinear Navier model with non-zero slip critical shear stress is considered at walls. The governing nonlinear momentum, mass, and heat transfer equations are solved using the Homotopy Perturbation Method. The study reveals that increasing the fluid elasticity, nanoparticle concentration, and size significantly enhances the flow rate, heat and mass transfer. Additionally, elasticity and Reynolds number decrease the friction factor. Reducing the double-layer thickness and increasing the Reynolds number lead to higher flow rates and fluid velocities. Notably, the findings emphasize the critical role of the slip conditions on the Sherwood and Nusselt numbers.

Fine Mapping Causal Variants with an Approximate Bayesian Method Using Marginal Test Statistics.

Project description:Two recently developed fine-mapping methods, CAVIAR and PAINTOR, demonstrate better performance over other fine-mapping methods. They also have the advantage of using only the marginal test statistics and the correlation among SNPs. Both methods leverage the fact that the marginal test statistics asymptotically follow a multivariate normal distribution and are likelihood based. However, their relationship with Bayesian fine mapping, such as BIMBAM, is not clear. In this study, we first show that CAVIAR and BIMBAM are actually approximately equivalent to each other. This leads to a fine-mapping method using marginal test statistics in the Bayesian framework, which we call CAVIAR Bayes factor (CAVIARBF). Another advantage of the Bayesian framework is that it can answer both association and fine-mapping questions. We also used simulations to compare CAVIARBF with other methods under different numbers of causal variants. The results showed that both CAVIARBF and BIMBAM have better performance than PAINTOR and other methods. Compared to BIMBAM, CAVIARBF has the advantage of using only marginal test statistics and takes about one-quarter to one-fifth of the running time. We applied different methods on two independent cohorts of the same phenotype. Results showed that CAVIARBF, BIMBAM, and PAINTOR selected the same top 3 SNPs; however, CAVIARBF and BIMBAM had better consistency in selecting the top 10 ranked SNPs between the two cohorts.

Optical sinc-shaped Nyquist pulses of exceptional quality.

Project description:Sinc-shaped Nyquist pulses possess a rectangular spectrum, enabling data to be encoded in a minimum spectral bandwidth and satisfying by essence the Nyquist criterion of zero inter-symbol interference (ISI). This property makes them very attractive for communication systems since data transmission rates can be maximized while the bandwidth usage is minimized. However, most of the pulse-shaping methods reported so far have remained rather complex and none has led to ideal sinc pulses. Here a method to produce sinc-shaped Nyquist pulses of very high quality is proposed based on the direct synthesis of a rectangular-shaped and phase-locked frequency comb. The method is highly flexible and can be easily integrated in communication systems, potentially offering a substantial increase in data transmission rates. Further, the high quality and wide tunability of the reported sinc-shaped pulses can also bring benefits to many other fields, such as microwave photonics, light storage and all-optical sampling.

Approximate chemical analysis of volcanic glasses using Raman spectroscopy.

Project description:The effect of chemical composition on the Raman spectra of a series of natural calcalkaline silicate glasses has been quantified by performing electron microprobe analyses and obtaining Raman spectra on glassy filaments (~450 µm) derived from a magma mingling experiment. The results provide a robust compositionally-dependent database for the Raman spectra of natural silicate glasses along the calcalkaline series. An empirical model based on both the acquired Raman spectra and an ideal mixing equation between calcalkaline basaltic and rhyolitic end-members is constructed enabling the estimation of the chemical composition and degree of polymerization of silicate glasses using Raman spectra. The model is relatively insensitive to acquisition conditions and has been validated using the MPI-DING geochemical standard glasses1 as well as further samples. The methods and model developed here offer several advantages compared with other analytical and spectroscopic methods such as infrared spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, electron and ion microprobe analyses, inasmuch as Raman spectroscopy can be performed with a high spatial resolution (1 µm2) without the need for any sample preparation as a nondestructive technique. This study represents an advance in efforts to provide the first database of Raman spectra for natural silicate glasses and yields a new approach for the treatment of Raman spectra, which allows us to extract approximate information about the chemical composition of natural silicate glasses using Raman spectroscopy. We anticipate its application in handheld in situ terrestrial field studies of silicate glasses under extreme conditions (e.g. extraterrestrial and submarine environments).

Multidimensional spectroscopy with attosecond extreme ultraviolet and shaped near-infrared pulses.

Project description:Dynamics following excitation with attosecond extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses arise from enormous numbers of accessible excited states, complicating the retrieval of state-specific time evolutions. We develop attosecond XUV multidimensional spectroscopy here to separate interfering pathways on a near-infrared (NIR) energy axis, retrieving single state dynamics in argon atoms in a two-dimensional (2D) XUV-NIR spectrum. In this experiment, we measure four-wave mixing signal arising from the interaction of XUV attosecond pulses centered around 15 eV with two few-cycle NIR pulses. The 2D spectrum is created by measuring the emitted XUV signal field spectrum while applying narrowband amplitude and phase modulations to one of the NIR pulses. Application of such a technique to systems of high dimensionality will provide for the observation of state-resolved pure electronic dynamics, in direct analogy to phenomena unraveled by multidimensional spectroscopies at optical frequencies.
