Abstract

We propose a carbon-based logic gate where and, or, and xor logic operations are available. It consists of a carbon nanotube (CNT) ring coupled to three external CNT-leads, two of them used as input channels, and the third as the output channel. The total transmission for two inputs displays characteristic interference effects. The constructive interference leads to total transmission significantly larger than that for a single input and validates and gates, whereas the destructive interference corresponds to xor gates. For or gates a negligible interference between the transmittance of each single inputs is needed.

Generating correlated data for omics simulation.

Simulation of realistic omics data is a key input for benchmarking studies that help users obtain optimal computational pipelines. Omics data involves large numbers of measured features on each sample and these measures are generally correlated with each other. However, simulation too often ignores these correlations, perhaps due to computational and statistical hurdles of doing so. To alleviate this, we describe three approaches for generating omics-scale data with correlated measures which mimic real datasets. These approaches are all based on a Gaussian copula approach with a covariance matrix that decomposes into a diagonal part and a low-rank part. This decomposition allows for extremely efficient simulation, overcoming a hurdle for adoption of past methods. We use these approaches to demonstrate the importance of including correlation in two benchmarking applications. First, we show that variance of results from the popular DESeq2 method increases when dependence is included. Second, we demonstrate that CYCLOPS, a method for inferring circadian time of collection from transcriptomics, improves in performance when given gene-gene dependencies in some circumstances. We provide an R package, dependentsimr, that has efficient implementations of these methods and can generate dependent data with arbitrary marginal distributions, including discrete (binary, ordered categorical, Poisson, negative binomial), continuous (normal), or with an empirical distribution.

Addressing current challenges in cancer immunotherapy with mathematical and computational modelling.

The goal of cancer immunotherapy is to boost a patient's immune response to a tumour. Yet, the design of an effective immunotherapy is complicated by various factors, including a potentially immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment, immune-modulating effects of conventional treatments and therapy-related toxicities. These complexities can be incorporated into mathematical and computational models of cancer immunotherapy that can then be used to aid in rational therapy design. In this review, we survey modelling approaches under the umbrella of the major challenges facing immunotherapy development, which encompass tumour classification, optimal treatment scheduling and combination therapy design. Although overlapping, each challenge has presented unique opportunities for modellers to make contributions using analytical and numerical analysis of model outcomes, as well as optimization algorithms. We discuss several examples of models that have grown in complexity as more biological information has become available, showcasing how model development is a dynamic process interlinked with the rapid advances in tumour-immune biology. We conclude the review with recommendations for modellers both with respect to methodology and biological direction that might help keep modellers at the forefront of cancer immunotherapy development.

Non-parametric paired two-sample tests for censored survival data incorporating longitudinal covariate information.

In this manuscript, we present non-parametric two-sample tests for paired censored survival data incorporating longitudinal covariate information. These tests take advantage of information collected at baseline and post-baseline to provide efficiency gains when censoring is uninformative. Additionally, these methods adjust for potential bias from informative censoring that is captured by the baseline and longitudinal covariates. Finite sample properties are investigated with simulation, and we illustrate methodology with an example from the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study.
