Stock Prediction Based on Social Media Data via Sentiment Analysis: a Study on Reddit
With the development of internet and information technology, online text data has become available and accessible for research in many fields including stock prediction. Social media, being one of the biggest content generators on the internet, is a great data resource for text mining and stock prediction. It has a large capacity, high data density, and fast information spread.
In this thesis, analyses on the relationship between the stock-related text in social media (Reddit) and the price changes of corresponding stocks are implemented. In the analysis, sentiment analysis is first applied to extract the individual users’ emotions and opinions about the stocks. After that, the extracted features are analyzed via descriptive statistics and predictive analysis using the Pearson correlation coefficient and machine learning models. The predictive analysis is designed to examine the dependence between the social media text data and stock price change by evaluating the performance of predictions, four indicators are used in the evaluation including “prediction accuracy on price change direction” and three indicators in simulated algorithm trading experiments based on prediction results. They are “total profit with trading strategy for single stock”, “daily profit efficiency of trading strategy” and “total profit with Portfolio trading strategy”. From the results and the comparison with a Buy and Hold (B&H) baseline strategy, the predictions show good results in terms of “daily profit efficiency” and “total profit with Portfolio trading strategy”. Therefore, the online forum text from Reddit are proved to be correlated with future stock price changes and might be used to make more profit than B&H strategy by incorporating their information in portfolio trading strategies
Two-copy Quantum Teleportation
We investigate two-copy scenario of quantum teleportation based on Bell
measurements. The detailed protocol is presented and the general expression of
the corresponding optimal teleportation delity is derived, which is given by
the two-copy fully entangled fraction that is invariant under local unitary
transformations. We prove that under a speci c case of the protocol, which is
signi cant for improving the optimal delity, the set of states with their
two-copy fully entangled fractions bounded by a threshold value that required
for useful two-copy teleportation is convex and compact. Hence the witness
operators exist to separate states that are useful for two-copy teleportation
from the rest ones. Moreover, we show that the optimal delity of two-copy
teleportation surpasses that of the original one copy teleportation.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
{4-[(Diphenylphosphino)methylamino]pyridinium-κP}bis(nitrato-κO)silver(I)
In the title mononuclear complex, [Ag(C18H18N2P)(NO3)2], the metal centre is coordinated in a slightly distorted trigonal–planar geometry by the P atom of the phosphine ligand and the O atoms of the two monodentate nitrate anions. In the crystal structure, complex molecules are connected by intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running parallel to the b axis
(5-Bromo-2-methylphenyl)(4-ethoxyphenyl)methanone
In the title compound, C16H15BrO2, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 68.5 (2)°. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains parallel to the b axis
1, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 suppresses cell cycle progression and thus growth of prostate cancer cells by inducing expression of limb bud and heart development (LBH)
Purpose: To investigate the function of limb bud and heart development (LBH) in 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D)-mediated inhibitory effect on proliferation of prostate cancer cells.Methods: The inhibitory effect of 1,25D on growth and cell cycle progression of lymph node carcinoma of the prostate (LNCaP) cells was determined using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay and flow cytometry, while the expression levels of LBH in response to treatment with 1,25D were determined by quantitative reverse-transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blottingting. The expression levels of LBH in cells were down/up regulated by transfection with siRNA or overexpression plasmids, and then cell growth and cell cycles were measured using the CCK-8 assay, EdU assay, and flow cytometry. Finally, the growth inhibitory effect of 1,25D on LBH knockdown cells were determined using CCK-8 and EdU assays.Results: Treatment with 1,25D arrested LNCaP cells in G0/G1 phase of cell cycle, suppressed the growth of the cells and induced the expression of LBH. Overexpression/knockdown of LBH in LNCaP cells suppressed/promoted cell growth and accumulated/decreased cells in the G0/G1 phase. Moreover, knockdown of LBH reversed the inhibitory effect of 1,25D on cell proliferation of LNCaP cells.Conclusion: Inhibitory effect of 1,25D on cell cycle progression and cell proliferation might be via LBH.Keywords: Cell proliferation, Limb bud and heart development, Prostate cancer, 1α, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D
