An Examination of the Relationship Between Stock Index Cash and Futures Markets: A Cointegration Approach
The existence of price discovery, market efficiency and market stability associated with spot and futures markets continues as a prominent discussion among academics, practitioners and regulators. Numerous papers examine the role of price discovery in the futures markets for various types of commodities and financial assets. Generally, the studies by Garbade and Silber (1983), Herbst, McCormack and West (1987), Kawaller, Koch and Koch (1987) and Schroeder and Goodwin (1991) indicate that price discovery occurs more significantly in the futures market compared to the cash market

Planning Technologies for Interactive Storytelling
Since AI planning was first proposed for the task of narrative generation in interactive storytelling (IS), it has emerged as the dominant approach in this field. This chapter traces the use of planning technologies in this area, considers the core issues involved in the application of planning technologies in IS, and identifies some of the remaining challenges
How to verify the precision of density-functional-theory implementations via reproducible and universal workflows
In the past decades many density-functional theory methods and codes adopting
periodic boundary conditions have been developed and are now extensively used
in condensed matter physics and materials science research. Only in 2016,
however, their precision (i.e., to which extent properties computed with
different codes agree among each other) was systematically assessed on
elemental crystals: a first crucial step to evaluate the reliability of such
computations. We discuss here general recommendations for verification studies
aiming at further testing precision and transferability of
density-functional-theory computational approaches and codes. We illustrate
such recommendations using a greatly expanded protocol covering the whole
periodic table from Z=1 to 96 and characterizing 10 prototypical cubic
compounds for each element: 4 unaries and 6 oxides, spanning a wide range of
coordination numbers and oxidation states. The primary outcome is a reference
dataset of 960 equations of state cross-checked between two all-electron codes,
then used to verify and improve nine pseudopotential-based approaches. Such
effort is facilitated by deploying AiiDA common workflows that perform
automatic input parameter selection, provide identical input/output interfaces
across codes, and ensure full reproducibility. Finally, we discuss the extent
to which the current results for total energies can be reused for different
goals (e.g., obtaining formation energies).Comment: Main text: 23 pages, 4 figures. Supplementary: 68 page
Evaluation of DNA Methylation Episignatures for Diagnosis and Phenotype Correlations in 42 Mendelian Neurodevelopmental Disorders.
Genetic syndromes frequently present with overlapping clinical features and inconclusive or ambiguous genetic findings which can confound accurate diagnosis and clinical management. An expanding number of genetic syndromes have been shown to have unique genomic DNA methylation patterns (called episignatures ). Peripheral blood episignatures can be used for diagnostic testing as well as for the interpretation of ambiguous genetic test results. We present here an approach to episignature mapping in 42 genetic syndromes, which has allowed the identification of 34 robust disease-specific episignatures. We examine emerging patterns of overlap, as well as similarities and hierarchical relationships across these episignatures, to highlight their key features as they are related to genetic heterogeneity, dosage effect, unaffected carrier status, and incomplete penetrance. We demonstrate the necessity of multiclass modeling for accurate genetic variant classification and show how disease classification using a single episignature at a time can sometimes lead to classification errors in closely related episignatures. We demonstrate the utility of this tool in resolving ambiguous clinical cases and identification of previously undiagnosed cases through mass screening of a large cohort of subjects with developmental delays and congenital anomalies. This study more than doubles the number of published syndromes with DNA methylation episignatures and, most significantly, opens new avenues for accurate diagnosis and clinical assessment in individuals affected by these disorders
OPTIMADE, an API for exchanging materials data
: The Open Databases Integration for Materials Design (OPTIMADE) consortium has designed a universal application programming interface (API) to make materials databases accessible and interoperable. We outline the first stable release of the specification, v1.0, which is already supported by many leading databases and several software packages. We illustrate the advantages of the OPTIMADE API through worked examples on each of the public materials databases that support the full API specification
