Time averages in continuous-time random walks.

Published: February 2017

We investigate the time-averaged square displacement (TASD) of continuous-time random walks with respect to the number of steps N which the random walker performed during the data acquisition time T. We prove that in each realization the TASD grows asymptotically linear in the lag time τ and in N, provided the steps cannot accumulate in small intervals. Consequently, the fluctuations of the latter are dominated by the fluctuations of N, and fluctuations of the walker's thermal history are irrelevant. Furthermore, we show that the relative scatter decays as 1/sqrt[N], which suppresses all nonlinear features in a plot of the TASD against the lag time. Parts of our arguments also hold for continuous-time random walks with correlated steps or with correlated waiting times.

Background: Randomized placebo-controlled trials (RCTs) are the gold standard to evaluate efficacy of new drug treatments for Alzheimer's disease. For example, the United States FDA approved the brain amyloid-targeting drug lecanemab following CLARITY AD, Biogen and Eisai's Phase 3 RCT. However, recruiting enough participants for a high-powered and demographically representative trial is difficult and expensive.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of three-dimensional arterial spin labeling (ASL) and six different diffusion MRI models to differentiate between solid benign and malignant renal tumors.
  • The research analyzed data from 89 patients with renal tumors, looking at various parameters from ASL and six diffusion models, with results indicating that the stretched exponential model (SEM) performed best for distinguishing clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) from other types.
  • Ultimately, combining ASL with various diffusion models significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy, particularly in identifying ccRCC.

Many integrable stochastic particle systems in one space dimension (such as TASEP-Totally Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process-and its -deformation, the -TASEP) remain integrable if we equip each particle with its own speed parameter. In this work, we present intertwining relations between Markov transition operators of particle systems which differ by a permutation of the speed parameters. These relations generalize our previous works (Petrov and Saenz in Probab Theory Relat Fields 182:481-530, 2022), (Petrov in SIGMA 17(021):34, 2021), but here we employ a novel approach based on the Yang-Baxter equation for the higher spin stochastic six vertex model.

Structural and hydrodynamic controls on fluid travel time distributions across fracture networks.

Fracture networks are preferential flow paths playing a critical role in a wide range of environmental and industrial problems. Their complex multiscale structure leads to broad distributions of fluid travel times, affecting many biogeochemical processes. Yet, the relationship between the fracture network structures, their hydrodynamic properties, and the resulting anomalous transport dynamics remains unclear.

Background: The prognosis for patients with cervical cancer (CC) is strongly correlated with the Ki-67 proliferation index (PI). However, the Ki-67 PI obtained through biopsy has certain limitations. The non-Gaussian distribution diffusion model of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may play an important role in characterizing tissue heterogeneity.
