II. GENERAL THEORY A. Master equation formalism extinction paths for a wide variety of stochastic dynamical systems. However, to make the method transparent, this article focuses on computing the optimal path to extinction for two types of epidemic models and a population model. The simplest deterministic epidemic compartmental models contain two steady states of differing stability: an extinct state where no infectious individuals are present and an endemic state where the infection is maintained. The stability of these steady states is determined by the value of the basic reproductive number R 0 , as shown in Fig. 1 R 0 < 1, the extinct state is stable while the endemic state is unstable; when R 0 > 1, the extinct state is unstable while the endemic state is stable. It is worth noting that since the model is deterministic, a population at the attracting endemic state can never go extinct. The method we present in this article is general and may be used to compute optimal escape paths, switching paths, orpaths for a wide variety ofdynamicalHowever, to make the method transparent, this article focuses onthe optimal path tofor two types of epidemic models and a population model. The simplest deterministic epidemic compartmental models contain two steady states of differing stability: an extinct state where no infectious individuals are present and an endemic state where theis maintained. The stability of these steady states is determined by the value of the basic reproductive number, as shown in Fig.. The reproductive number can be thought of as the average number of new infectious individuals that one infectious individual generates over the course of the infectious period, in an entirely susceptible population. When< 1, the extinct state is stable while the endemic state is unstable; when> 1, the extinct state is unstable while the endemic state is stable. It is worth noting that since the model is deterministic, a population at the attracting endemic state can never go extinct. To capture extinction events, we must consider a stochastic model with internal noise that represents the random interactions of individuals in the population. Therefore, a master equation is used to describe the effect of stochasticity. Let X be a state variable that represents the number of individuals in a single population. The following theory will be developed for a single population, but it is easily extended to multiple populations X 1 , X 2 ,…X n by the use of a state vector X. ρ(X, t) describes the probability of finding X individuals at time t. Each possible population-changing event (birth, death, infection, migration, etc.) is defined by a transition rate W r (X), where r is a positive or negative integer that defines an incremental change from state X to state X + r. Then, the master equation that provides the time evolution of ρ(X, t) for a single population is 11,12 11. C. W. Gardiner, Handbook of Stochastic Methods for Physics, Chemistry and the Natural Sciences ( Springer-Verlag , 2004). 12. N.

(1) The probability density) describes the probability of findingindividuals at time.

Then, the masterthat provides the time evolution of) for a single population is equation given by Eq. X be scaled by N, the typical population size in the metastable state. Using x = X/N, the transition rate W r (X) = W r (Nx) can be represented as the following expansion in N: W r ( N x ) = N w r ( x ) + u r ( x ) + O ( 1 / N ) , (2) where x and the scaled transition rates w r and u r are O ( 1 ) . In general, it is not possible to analytically solve the mastergiven by Eq. (1) . Letbe scaled by, the typical population size in the metastable state. Using, the transition rate) =) can be represented as the following expansion inwhereand the scaled transition ratesandare N ≫ 1, we approximate the scaled master equation using the Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) approximation. To account for the rare possibility of extinction, we look for the probability distribution in the form of the WKB ansatz ρ = e − N S ( x , t ) , (3) where S ( x , t ) is a quantity known as the action. 15–17,29 Fluctuation and relaxation of macrovariables ,” J.

A Taylor series expansion of these functions of x − r/N is performed, and one arrives at a Hamilton–Jacobi equation H = − ∂ S / ∂ t . At leading order, the Hamilton–Jacobi equation has the form H ( x , p ) = 0 , where H , known as the effective Hamiltonian, is given as H ( x , p ) = ∑ r w r ( x ) ( e p r − 1 ) ; p = d S d x , (4) and p is the conjugate momentum.

(9) To compute FTLE values, we choose a domain of interest and define it as an evenly spaced grid of 2dimensional points= (), with initial positiondefined at the grid points. Then, using Hamilton's(Eq. (5) ), all points are numerically integrated.

T (forward or backward) and provides a measure of the sensitivity of a trajectory to small perturbations. The FTLE field given by σ(y, t i , T) can be shown to exhibit ridges of local maxima in phase space. The ridges of the field indicate the location of attracting (backward time FTLE field) and repelling (forward time FTLE field) structures. In two-dimensional (2D) space, the ridge is a curve which locally maximizes the FTLE field, so that transverse to the ridge, one finds the FTLE to be a local maximum. What is remarkable is that the FTLE ridges correspond to the optimal path trajectories. 24,25 Converging towards the optimal path to extinction ,” J. R. Soc. Interface 8, 1699 (2011). 24. I. B.

The FTLE field given by) can be shown to exhibit ridges of local maxima in phase space. The ridges of the field indicate the location of attracting (backward time FTLE field) and repelling (forward time FTLE field) structures. In two-dimensional (2D) space, the ridge is a curve which locally maximizes the FTLE field, so that transverse to the ridge, one finds the FTLE to be a local maximum. What is remarkable is that the FTLE ridges correspond to the optimal path trajectories.The basic idea is that since the optimal path is inherently unstable and observed only through many realizations ofexperiments, the FTLE shows that locally the path is also the most sensitive to initial data. Figureshows a schematic that demonstrates why the optimal path corresponds to a maximal FTLE ridge. If one chooses an initial point on either side of the optimal path near the endemic state, the two trajectories will separate exponentially in time, since both extinct and endemic states are unstable saddle points. For single population models, the optimal path is a curve in ℝ 2 with (x, p) coordinates. A contour map of σ values as a function of x and p is ideal for showing the maximal FTLE ridge that corresponds to the optimal path. However, for models involving multiple populations, the optimal path is a curve in a high-dimensional space which is not easily visualized. A methodology that can extract information about the optimal path from the FTLE field without relying on visual inspection is necessary. Therefore, we use statistical tools to define a threshold cut-off value, so that points associated with the highest FTLE values can be identified. Additionally, points associated with deterministic structures, such as those occurring where p = 0, can be excluded from selection. In this way, points known to be in the vicinity of the optimal path are identified and selected for inclusion in an array of high FTLE points. For low-dimensional models, this array may produce a nearly complete optimal path. For high-dimensional models, however, such a nice result is less likely. Their known proximity to the optimal path, however, makes the point array highly desirable as initial data for the following method. C.

In particular, given an initial guess of high FTLE-valued points produced by the method described in Sec. As described in Section II A , the WKB formalism results in a Hamiltonian with a zero-energy curve that is the optimal path connecting two steady state saddle points. The Iterative Action Minimizing Method(IAMM) is a numerical scheme based on Newton's method that computes optimal transition pathways inofdifferentialIn particular, given an initial guess of high FTLE-valued points produced by the method described in Sec. II B , the IAMM is a useful method for determining the optimal path. We consider the general situation where a path connecting steady states C a and C b starts at C a at t = −∞ and ends at C b at t = +∞. Then, a time parameter t exists such that −∞ < t < ∞. For this method, we require a numerical approximation of the time needed to leave the region of C a and arrive in the region of C b . Therefore, we define a time T ϵ such that −∞ < −T ϵ < t < T ϵ < ∞. Additionally, C(−T ϵ ) ≈ C a and C(T ϵ ) ≈ C b . In other words, the solution stays very near the equilibrium C a for −∞ < t ≤ −T ϵ , has a transition region from −T ϵ < t < T ϵ , and then stays near C b for T ϵ < t < +∞. T ϵ , T ϵ ] is discretized into N segments using a uniform step size h = (2T ϵ )/N. Alternatively, one may map the [−T ϵ , T ϵ ] interval onto the [0, 1] interval via the linear transformation t = 2T ϵ τ − T ϵ and use a step size of h = 1/N to discretize the interval. It is worth noting that for some problems, such as the Allee system described in Sec. 26 An iterative action minimizing method for computing optimal paths in stochastic dynamical systems ,” Physica D 255, 22 (2013). 26.

The derivative of the corresponding function value q k is approximated using central finite differences by the operator δ h given as d d t q k ≈ δ h q k ≡ h k − 1 2 q k + 1 + ( h k 2 − h k − 1 2 ) q k − h k 2 q k − 1 h k − 1 h k 2 + h k h k − 1 2 , k = 0 , … , N .

Note that Eq. equation. Thus, one can develop theof nonlinear algebraicwhich is solved using a general Newton's method. Note that Eq.

Additionally, the choice of T ϵ can affect the results. We discuss its importance in Secs. The IAMM, like any scheme involving Newton's method, is sensitive to the initial condition. A poor initial guess may lead to erroneous results including convergence to a curve that is not the optimal path or even no convergence. It is worth reiterating that path dynamics that include a fast, sharp transition may require the use of a non-uniform step size, so that the transitional region has a finer mesh than areas away from the fast transition. Additionally, the choice ofcan affect the results. We discuss its importance in Secs. IV and V

When the Ninth Circuit refused to let Muslim Ban 1.0 go back into effect, the administration retreated. Eventually, it issued the current version of the ban, which eliminated some egregious aspects of the original but left in place the same fundamental defects. It was, as we noted, still an unconstitutional attempt to make good on the president’s promises to establish a ban on Muslims. The courts agreed. Before Muslim Ban 2.0 could go into effect, trial courts in Maryland and Hawaii again blocked key provisions — upholding, as the Maryland court explained, the “fundamental constitutional principle” of religious neutrality “at the core of our Nation’s identity.”

There are two kinds of markets: hiring labor to produce goods and services in the “real” economy, and transactions in financial assets and property claims in the FIRE sector. Governments can run budget deficits by financing either of these two spheres. Since President Franklin Roosevelt’s WPA programs in the 1930s, along with his public infrastructure investment in roads, dams and other construction – and military arms spending after World War II broke out – “Keynesian” spending on goods and services has been used to hire labor or pay for social programs. This pumps money into the economy via the GDP-type transactions that appear in the National Income and Product Accounts. It is not inflationary when unemployment exists.

It was also Kushner who played a key role in persuading Trump to eschew longtime Trump loyalists and select Mike Pence as his VP nominee instead. This was, arguably, the single best decision that Trump made throughout the entire campaign — giving Republican elected officials throughout the country reason to believe that, however uneasy they were with the way the primary shook out, Trump was clearly on their team and preferable to Hillary Clinton.

The genetic trick, which led to muscle regeneration in the lab mice, was copied from salamanders. The occurrence has never been witnessed in the natural world among mammals until this time, though.

With literally millions of people needing to shift careers every year, and the long drawn out cycles of traditional colleges being a poor solution for time-crunched rank-and-file displaced workers, we will be seeing a massive new opportunity arising for short-term, pre-apprenticeship training in the form of Micro Colleges.

The city is partnering with Chelan and Douglas counties, the two port districts, WSDOT, Link Transit, the Wenatchee Valley Transportation Council and BNSF Railroad in applying for grant.

Even the best national data on chemical accidents is wrong nine times out of 10.

That transit is how astronomers often detect exoplanets, as the amount of light space telescopes receive from these distant stars dips slightly as the exoplanet passes in front of them.

The current flagship radio station of the Nets is WFAN, which took over the radio rights to the Nets after losing their basketball contract with the Knicks (who moved to WEPN). Prior to that, Nets games aired on WNEW, WMCA, WVNJ, WNBC, WQEW, and WOR.

Once upon a time, there was a big fog. It rolled through a valley like a big cloud. Then, one day, two friends met inside it. "Hi," said one. "Hi," said the other. They blinked at each other and smiled. Then the first friend said, "Let's explore this big fog. The sun is out, so maybe we'll find something fun! The two friends started walking. As the fog was so big, it was like walking in a dream. Everything felt so soft and gentle. After a while, they stopped. The two friends looked up and there was a big rainbow in the sky! The two friends smiled at each other, sitting on the grass. The fog had hidden the rainbow until they explored it. Now they were both very happy they had. The End.

The report accused Logan, a martial arts expert, of sexually harassing actresses in his offices and on film sets. It also says that Logan sent actresses to Weinstein’s hotel room, where unwanted sexual advances were made. The HK01 report carries accounts by seven women, only one of whom was identified by name.

Anna loves her panda toy very much. She always hugs it and plays with it. She calls it Panda. Panda is soft and black and white. Anna has Panda since she was a baby. One day, Anna goes to the park with her mom and Panda. She sees a big slide and wants to go on it. She asks her mom, "Can I go on the slide with Panda?" Her mom says, "Yes, you can, but be careful. Panda is fragile. He might get hurt if you drop him or if he slides too fast." Anna nods and says, "OK, mom. I will be careful. I love Panda." She climbs up the stairs and sits on the slide with Panda in her lap. She holds him tight and says, "Ready, Panda? Here we go!" She slides down the slide and feels the wind in her hair. She laughs and says, "Whee! That was fun, Panda!" But when she reaches the bottom, she sees that Panda has a tear in his ear. She gasps and says, "Oh no! Panda, are you OK? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you!" She runs to her mom and shows her the tear. Her mom says, "Don't worry, Anna. It's OK. Panda is not real. He is a toy. He doesn't feel pain. But I know you love him, so I will fix him for you. I have a needle and a thread in my bag. I can sew his ear back together." Anna says, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. Can I help you?" Her mom says, "Sure, you can. You can hold Panda and talk to him while I sew. He will be fine soon." Anna smiles and says, "OK, mom. I will do that. I love you and Panda." She holds Panda and says, "Don't be sad, Panda. Mom will make you better. You are my best friend. I will always take care of you."

Meanwhile, income gains have been disproportionately distributed throughout the economy. Middle-class wages have largely remained stagnant since the 1980s, after adjusting for inflation, whereas the top 1% richest Americans have captured much of the wealth.

Gomez still has above-average power, and speed, and outfield defense. But as those things travel towards average, we’ll notice his poor plate approach more often. And the fact that for two years now, his success rate on stolen bases has been poor to middling.

I made my newest batch of Apple Pie in preparation for Eelpout Festival in February. This should give it a couple months to really mellow out.

This is really good news coming off the report this afternoon from Arsene Wenger that Santi Cazorla will be missing until early next month. It's even better once you look at Arsenal's upcoming fixture list; it's crowded, as you might expect from a team trying to compete on four fronts. Without reserves that would be a very tough task, but it looks like we may be just a few weeks away from getting reinforcements back.

Might Oscar Pareja be the heir apparent when Bruce Arena's second stint as U.S. men's national team boss concludes? The FC Dallas head coach certainly has to be in the conversation after building his team into one of Major League Soccer's model franchises. With 60 points in each of the past two seasons and a U.S. Open Cup-Supporters' Shield double last year, FC Dallas has become a winning club, doing so the right way with lots of youth, lots of skill and standard-setting explosiveness.

I am also keen to understand what value Australia has got for the $400 million allocated to the Canberra-based Global CCS Institute. As one of their bloggers has written “despite ambitious demonstration programmes, progress has been glacially slow”.

ZOMG I would ride the hell out of that thing, I don't even care if it's street legal. And I'm not just saying that so I could finally wear my, "If you can read this Robin fell off and I miss his wiener by my butt" shirt either, but it is collecting dust in the closet.

In a television ad which began airing on Friday, a mother shares the story of her daughter’s struggle to care for her dying same-sex partner, saying that after her daughter’s domestic partner suffered a seizure, hospital staff refused to telephone her daughter because they were not married. There is only one problem: that is not an accurate depiction of the law, says Preserve Marriage Washington, the statewide grassroots coalition committed to protecting the traditional definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who went on a camping trip with her family. They stayed in a cozy cabin in the woods. Lily was very excited to sleep in the cabin and explore the forest. One day, Lily and her dad decided to go on a hike. They walked and walked, but the path was steep and rocky. Lily started to struggle and her dad had to carry her on his shoulders. "I can't walk anymore," Lily said. "Don't worry, we'll take a break soon," her dad replied. Finally, they reached the top of the mountain and saw a beautiful view. "Wow!" Lily exclaimed. "I'm so glad we came up here. Thank you, dad!" They hugged and went back to the cabin, where they made s'mores and told stories around the campfire.

Cycling your plant without understanding the costs or applying care and expert guidance when cycling often leads to significant damage, frequent forced outages, and loss of power generation. Bad long-term decisions may be driven by short-term or uninformed decisions, making your plant unreliable during high-profit periods. The fatigue damage added to an older baseload power plant causes creep fatigue interaction damage, rapid increase in boiler tube failures, and many other component failures, including turbine generator and balance-of-plant early creep fatigue failures. In effect, excessive cycling will either decrease the life expectancy of your equipment, or the costs to maintain the equipment will rise, sometimes significantly. Also remember that poorly written startup and shutdown operating instructions or a failure to follow standard processes can often contribute to increased cycling damage and resultant costs.

We all love a wee quiz, don’t we? Those quick little personality tests that pop up on the internet where you can find out loads of things about yourself that you’d never thought to ask.

The test involved a "Stock Market Viewer" application that allowed users to modify the display of a stock market report shown on the screen. Users could change which columns of data were included in the report, the order of the report columns, their alignment, and the number of decimal places used. The designers wanted to see how an IUI approach to this task would perform compared to a conventional graphical user interface.

“Although we and for that matter others have not proven a causal relationship between physical activity and risk of developing alcohol use disorders, it is likely that there is a causal link,” said Dr. Ulrik Becker of the National Institute of Public Health at the University of Southern Denmark in Copenhagen, coauthor of the new report.

It is a none-too-subtle question, but it makes the point: Despising Israel the way Israel is despised in much of the Arab world is all about anti-Semitism. And most anti-Semitism anywhere in the world has its origins in envy.

And the thing I’ve been struggling with throughout my political career is how do you close the gap. There’s all this goodness and decency and common sense on the ground, and somehow it gets translated into rigid, dogmatic, often mean-spirited politics. And some of it has to do with all the filters that stand between ordinary people who are busy and running around trying to look after their kids and do a good job and do all the things that maintain a community, so they don’t have the chance to follow the details of complicated policy debates.

A primary index is quite good to have in the early stages of development because it lets you run ad-hoc queries. However, it is not recommended for production or the later part of your development process when you are trying to optimize the performance of your application. A primary index is basically the equivalent to full table scans in the SQL world.

Once upon a time, there was a turtle named Bob who wanted to escape from his home in the pond. One day, he decided to leave and set out on a big adventure. Bob swam and swam until he reached the ocean. He saw a big wave and decided to try surfing. As he rode the surf, it took him far away from the pond and closer to his dream. Bob felt free and peaceful out at sea. Suddenly, he spotted an island in the distance. He swam towards it and soon arrived on the beach. Bob loved the island, and decided to stay for a while. He enjoyed the warm sand and exploring. Bob knew he'd escaped the pond for good!
