A Universal Live Cell Barcoding-Platform for Multiplexed Human Single Cell Analysis.
Single-cell barcoding enables the combined processing and acquisition of multiple individual samples as one. This maximizes assay efficiency and eliminates technical variability in both sample preparation and analysis. Remaining challenges are the barcoding of live, unprocessed cells to increase downstream assay performance combined with the flexibility of the approach towards a broad range of cell types. To that end, we developed a novel antibody-based platform that allows the robust barcoding of live human cells for mass cytometry (CyTOF). By targeting both the MHC class I complex (beta-2-microglobulin) and a broadly expressed sodium-potassium ATPase-subunit (CD298) with platinum-conjugated antibodies, human immune cells, stem cells as well as tumor cells could be multiplexed in the same single-cell assay. In addition, we present a novel palladium-based covalent viability reagent compatible with this barcoding strategy. Altogether, this platform enables mass cytometry-based, live-cell barcoding across a multitude of human sample types and provides a scheme for multiplexed barcoding of human single-cell assays in general
On the Regularized Fermionic Projector of the Vacuum
We construct families of fermionic projectors with spherically symmetric
regularization, which satisfy the condition of a distributional -product. The method is to analyze regularization tails with a power-law or
logarithmic scaling in composite expressions in the fermionic projector. The
resulting regularizations break the Lorentz symmetry and give rise to a
multi-layer structure of the fermionic projector near the light cone. The
remaining freedom for the regularization parameters and the consequences for
the normalization of the fermionic states are discussed.Comment: 66 pages, LaTeX, 8 figures, minor improvements (published version
Generalized reflection symmetry and leptonic CP violation
We propose a generalized reflection symmetry to constrain the
lepton flavor mixing parameters. We obtain a new correlation between the
atmospheric mixing angle and the "Dirac" CP violation phase
. Only in a specific limit our proposed CP transformation
reduces to standard reflection, for which and
are both maximal. The "Majorana" phases are predicted to lie at
their CP-conserving values with important implications for the neutrinoless
double beta decay rates. We also study the phenomenological implications of our
scheme for present and future neutrino oscillation experiments including T2K,
NOA and DUNE.Comment: 14 pages, 9 figures, latex, Final version to appear in Physics

Analysis of dependence among size, rate and duration in internet flows
In this paper we examine rigorously the evidence for dependence among data
size, transfer rate and duration in Internet flows. We emphasize two
statistical approaches for studying dependence, including Pearson's correlation
coefficient and the extremal dependence analysis method. We apply these methods
to large data sets of packet traces from three networks. Our major results show
that Pearson's correlation coefficients between size and duration are much
smaller than one might expect. We also find that correlation coefficients
between size and rate are generally small and can be strongly affected by
applying thresholds to size or duration. Based on Transmission Control Protocol
connection startup mechanisms, we argue that thresholds on size should be more
useful than thresholds on duration in the analysis of correlations. Using
extremal dependence analysis, we draw a similar conclusion, finding remarkable
independence for extremal values of size and rate.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/09-AOAS268 the Annals of

Non-Existence of Time-Periodic Solutions of the Dirac Equation in a Reissner-Nordstrom Black Hole Background
It is shown analytically that the Dirac equation has no normalizable,
time-periodic solutions in a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole background; in
particular, there are no static solutions of the Dirac equation in such a
background field. The physical interpretation is that Dirac particles can
either disappear into the black hole or escape to infinity, but they cannot
stay on a periodic orbit around the black hole.Comment: 24 pages, 2 figures (published version

Low-field microwave absorption and magnetoresistance in iron nanostructures grown by electrodeposition on n-type lightly-doped silicon substrates
In this study we investigate magnetic properties, surface morphology and
crystal structure in iron nanoclusters electrodeposited on lightly-doped (100)
n-type silicon substrates. Our goal is to investigate the spin injection and
detection in the Fe/Si lateral structures. The samples obtained under electric
percolation were characterized by magnetoresistive and magnetic resonance
measurements with cycling the sweeping applied field in order to understand the
spin dynamics in the as-produced samples. The observed hysteresis in the
magnetic resonance spectra, plus the presence of a broad peak in the
non-saturated regime confirming the low field microwave absorption (LFMA), were
correlated to the peaks and slopes found in the magnetoresistance curves. The
results suggest long range spin injection and detection in low resistive
silicon and the magnetic resonance technique is herein introduced as a
promising tool for analysis of electric contactless magnetoresistive samples.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figure
Efek Tipe Kecurangan Dan Anonimitas Terhadap Keputusan Investigasi Auditor Internal Atas Tuduhan Whistleblowing
A number of factors affects the effectiveness of whistleblowing system, such as the whistleblower, the wrongdoer, and other relevant parties. However, whistleblowing literature, so far, seems to attend more on whistleblowers' perspectives. Little is known about aspects from recipient perspectives, especially the effect of psychological biases that can seriously damage the effectiveness of the system. This study extend the whistleblowing literature by experimentally investigating how the fraud type and anonymity influence the recipient decision making process. The results show that internal auditor (as recipient) has lower probability to respond to fraudulent earning management allegation than to that of asset misappropriation. In regard to the anonymity effect, this research is consistent with prior studies in that anonymity provides less credible information for fraud allegation. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the importance of type of fraud as contextual factor that determine the whistleblowing effectiveness from recipient perspectives
