From First Principles to the Burrows and Wheeler Transform and Beyond, via Combinatorial Optimization
No full textWe introduce a combinatorial optimization framework that naturally induces a class of optimal word permutations with respect to a suitably defined cost function taking into account various measures of relatedness between words. The Burrows and Wheeler transform (bwt) (cf. [M. Burrows, D. Wheeler, A block sorting lossless data compression algorithm, Technical Report 124, Digital Equipment Corporation, 1994]), and its analog for labelled trees (cf. [P. Ferragina, F. Luccio, G. Manzini, S. Muthukrishnan, Structuring labeled trees for optimal succinctness, and beyond, in: Proc. of the 45th Annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, 2005, pp. 198–207]), are special cases in the class. We also show that the class of optimal word permutations defined here is identical to the one identified by Ferragina et al. for compression boosting [P. Ferragina, R. Giancarlo, G. Manzini, M. Sciortino, Boosting textual compression in optimal linear time, Journal of the ACM 52 (2005) 688–713]. Therefore, they are all highly compressible. We also provide, by using techniques from Combinatorics on Words, a fast method to compute bwt without using any end-of-string symbol. We also investigate more general classes of optimal word permutations, where relatedness of symbols may be measured by functions more complex than context length. For this general problem we provide an instance that is MAX-SNP hard, and therefore unlikely to be solved or approximated efficiently. The results presented here indicate that a key feature of the Burrows and Wheeler transform seems to be, besides compressibility, the existence of efficient algorithms for its computation and inversion
Detection of landslide timing, reactivation and precursory motion during the 2018, Lombok, Indonesia earthquake sequence with Sentinel-1
No full textEarthquake-triggered landslides can be mapped using optical satellite images, but assessing how they evolve during earthquake sequences is difficult due to cloud cover in these data. This information is crucial for understanding their triggering conditions. Here we use Sentinel-1 amplitude and a new, coherence-based method to characterise the evolution of rapid landslides during an earthquake sequence that occurred over a 23 d period in 2018 in Lombok, Indonesia. While most new landslides were triggered during the largest earthquake in the sequence on 5 August, we also identified landslide activity associated with other, lower magnitude earthquakes on 28 July, 9 and 19 August, with around half of the landslides studied active in more than one earthquake. In particular, many landslides triggered by the 5 August earthquake were then reactivated later in the sequence. These reactivations were triggered by accelerations as weak as 0.1 g, while new failures generally did not occur below 0.15 g, suggesting a post-seismic weakening effect driven by the landslides themselves rather than general landscape weakening. We also identified an example where possible precursory motion detected during the first earthquake in the sequence was later followed by larger scale failure. Overall, we demonstrate that, although they are not sensitive to all landslides and are more likely to detect larger events, Sentinel-1 amplitude and coherence are valuable tools to study how landslide hazard and mass wasting evolve during sequences of triggers

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in rat forebrain that bind ¹⁸F-nifene: relating PET imaging, autoradiography, and behavior
No full textNicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the brain are important for cognitive function; however, their specific role in relevant brain regions remains unclear. In this study, we used the novel compound ¹⁸F-nifene to examine the distribution of nAChRs in the rat forebrain, and for individual animals related the results to behavioral performance on an auditory-cognitive task. We first show negligible binding of ¹⁸F-nifene in mice lacking the β2 nAChR subunit, consistent with previous findings that ¹⁸F-nifene binds to α4β2* nAChRs. We then examined the distribution of ¹⁸F-nifene in rat using three methods: in vivo PET, ex vivo PET and autoradiography. Generally, ¹⁸F-nifene labeled forebrain regions known to contain nAChRs, and the three methods produced similar relative binding among regions. Importantly, ¹⁸F-nifene also labeled some white matter (myelinated axon) tracts, most prominently in the temporal subcortical region that contains the auditory thalamocortical pathway. Finally, we related ¹⁸F-nifene binding in several forebrain regions to each animal's performance on an auditory-cued, active avoidance task. The strongest correlations with performance after 14 days training were found for ¹⁸F-nifene binding in the temporal subcortical white matter, subiculum, and medial frontal cortex (correlation coefficients, r > 0.8); there was no correlation with binding in the auditory thalamus or auditory cortex. These findings suggest that individual performance is linked to nicotinic functions in specific brain regions, and further support a role for nAChRs in sensory-cognitive function.Peer reviewedAuthor's Manuscript is also available open access in PubMed Central: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3292694.This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Bieszczad, K.

Bit Catastrophes for the Burrows-Wheeler Transform
No full textA bit catastrophe, loosely defined, is when a change in just one character of a string causes a significant change in the size of the compressed string. We study this phenomenon for the Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT), a string transform at the heart of several of the most popular compressors and aligners today. The parameter determining the size of the compressed data is the number of equal-letter runs of the BWT, commonly denoted r. We exhibit infinite families of strings in which insertion, deletion, resp. substitution of one character increases r from constant to Θ(log n), where n is the length of the string. These strings can be interpreted both as examples for an increase by a multiplicative or an additive Θ(log n) -factor. As regards multiplicative factor, they attain the upper bound given by Akagi, Funakoshi, and Inenaga [Inf & Comput. 2023] of O(log nlog r), since here r= O(1 ). We then give examples of strings in which insertion, deletion, resp. substitution of a character increases r by a Θ(n) additive factor. These strings significantly improve the best known lower bound for an additive factor of Ω(log n) [Giuliani et al., SOFSEM 2021]
