Small Pseudo-Random Families of Matrices: Derandomizing Approximate Quantum Encryption

open access: yes, 2004
A quantum encryption scheme (also called private quantum channel, or state randomization protocol) is a one-time pad for quantum messages. If two parties share a classical random string, one of them can transmit a quantum state to the other so that an ...

Invariance principle for biased bootstrap random walks

open access: yesStochastic Processes and their Applications, 2019
Our main goal is to study a class of processes whose increments are generated via a cellular automata rule. Given the increments of a simple biased random walk, a new sequence of (dependent) Bernoulli random variables is produced. It is built, from the original sequence, according to a cellular automata rule.

Chameleon sequences reveal structural effects in proteins representing micelle‐like distribution of hydrophobicity

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Amino acids sequence of two different proteins with the same sequence (chameleon sequence—black boxes) represent in 3D structure of the proteins different secondary structures: HHHH—helical and BBB—Beta‐structural. The chains folded in water environment adopt different III‐order structures in which the chameleon fragments appear to adopt similar status

Deciphering proteins in Alzheimer’s disease: A new Mendelian randomization method integrated with AlphaFold3 for 3D structure prediction

open access: yesCell Genomics
Summary: Hidden confounding biases hinder identifying causal protein biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease in non-randomized studies. While Mendelian randomization (MR) can mitigate these biases using protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) as instrumental ...

Models, Methods and Network Topology: Experimental Design for the Study of Interference

open access: yes, 2018
How should a network experiment be designed to achieve high statistical power? Ex- perimental treatments on networks may spread. Randomizing assignment of treatment to nodes enhances learning about the counterfactual causal effects of a social network ...

Analysing the significance of small conformational changes and low occupancy states in serial crystallographic data

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This protocol paper outlines methods to establish the success of a time‐resolved serial crystallographic experiment, by means of statistical analysis of timepoint data in reciprocal space and models in real space. We show how to amplify the signal from excited states to visualise structural changes in successful experiments.

An Agile Adaptive Biased-Randomized Discrete-Event Heuristic for the Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem

open access: yesMathematics
In industries such as aircraft or train manufacturing, large-scale manufacturing companies often manage several complex projects. Each of these projects includes multiple tasks that share a set of limited resources.

Biased beliefs about random samples

open access: yes, 2017
Project examines intuitive misconceptions of chance. The authors affectionately referred to this as the "Barney" project. Don't ask us why.

Systemic dysregulation of apolipoproteins in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis serum

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease that damages motor neurons. This study found that people with ALS show significant changes in blood fats and the proteins that carry them. Several apolipoproteins were higher, lipid balances were altered, and normal protein–lipid relationships were disrupted.

Risk Attitudes, Randomization to Treatment, and Self-Selection Into Experiments [PDF]

open access: yes
Randomization to treatment is fundamental to statistical control in the design of experiments. But randomization implies some uncertainty about treatment condition, and individuals differ in their preferences towards taking on risk.
