Unfaithful K-separable Gaussian Graphical Models

The global Markov property for Gaussian graphical models ensures graph separation implies conditional independence. Specifically if a node set S graph separates nodes u and v then Xu is conditionally independent of Xv given XS . The opposite direction need not be true, that is, Xu ⊥ Xv | XS need not imply S is a node separator of u and v. When it does, the relation Xu ⊥ Xv | XS is called faithful. In this paper we provide a characterization of faithful relations and then provide an algorithm to test faithfulness based only on knowledge of other conditional relations of the form Xi ⊥ Xj | XS . We study two classes of separable Gaussian graphical models, namely, weakly K-separable and strongly K-separable Gaussian graphical models. Using the above test for faithfulness, we introduce algorithms to learn the topologies of weakly K-separable and strongly K-separable Gaussian graphical models with Ω(K log p) sample complexity. For strongly K-separable Gaussian graphical models, we additionally provide a method with error bounds for learning the off-diagonal precision matrix entries.
HARPSICHORD SOUND SYNTHESIS USING A PHYSICAL PLECTRUM MODEL INTERFACED WITH THE DIGITAL WAVEGUIDE

In this paper, we present a revised model of the plectrum-string interaction and its interface with the digital waveguide for simulation of the harpsichord sound. We will first revisit the plectrum body model that we have proposed previously in [1] and then extend the model to incorporate the geometry of the plectrum tip. This permits us to model the dynamics of the string slipping off the plectrum more comprehensively, which provides more physically accurate excitation signals. Simulation results are presented and discussed.
Pollen Morphology and Physiology of Poa labillardieri (Poaceae)

Pollen grains of Poa labillardieri (Poaceae) were small, prolate, spheroidal and monoporate. The surface ornamentation consisted of spinulose islands separated by incised grooves. Average pollen size was about 24μm x 22μm in the hydrated state and was uniform in different genotypes. Optimum in vitro pollen germination in P. labillardieri was recorded in 25% sucrose solution supplemented with 10 mg/L H BO , 10 mg/L anhydrous CaCl , 10 mg/L KNO and 10 mg/L tetrasodium EDTA di-hydrate at pH 3 3 2 3 6.4. The methods used to assess pollen viability were compared with the optimum in vitro pollen germination in all the five genotypes. The results obtained with fluorochromatic reaction test (FCR) were more or less similar to the results of in vitro germination.
Globally Important Ingenious Agricultural Heritage Systems ( GIAHS ) : extent , significance , and implications for development

Introduction Agroecosystems cover more than one quarter of the global land area, reaching about 5 billion hectares. Agroecosystems are ecosystems in which people have deliberately selected crop plants and livestock animals to replace the natural flora and fauna. Highly simplified agroecosystems, (such as intensive cereal cropping, orchards and plantations, and intensive livestock raising), vary enormously in their intensity of human intervention, from those with only low-intensity management (e.g. shifting cultivation, home gardens, nomadic pastoralism, traditional farms, rotational fallows and savanna mixed farming), and from those of middle-intensity management (including multiple cropping, mixed horticulture, improved pasture mixed farming and alley farming).
Climate and Terroir : Impacts of Climate Variability and Change on Wine

As part of the concept of terroir, climate is a factor that influences both the general viability of a region to ripen a specific variety of grapes and the resulting wine style. Climate variability and change affect every form of agriculture and are seldom more evident than with the production of high quality wines where narrow climate zones for optimum quality place them particularly at risk. While climates have changed dramatically during the history of the cultivation of grapes for wine, the changes in the recent past and those projected in the near future have received a great deal of attention for their potential impacts on today’s wine industry. Research has shown that both recent short and longterm climate changes have resulted in generally warmer and longer growing seasons with less frost risk in many of the world’s best wine regions. While these changes have been related to greater production and quality, future climate projections indicate the potential for threshold issues in which too much warming will potentially alter traditional wine styles and/or varieties planted, and likely bring about spatial shifts in viticultural viability.

Factor Association with Multiple Correspondence Analysis in Vehicle–Pedestrian Crashes

In the United States, about 14% of total crash fatalities are pedestrian related. In 2012, 4,743 pedestrians were killed, and 76,000 pedestrians were injured in vehicle–pedestrian crashes in the United States. Vehicle– pedestrian crashes have become a key concern in Louisiana as a result of the high percentage of fatalities there in recent years. In 2012, pedestrians accounted for 17% of total crash fatalities in the state. This study used multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), an exploratory data analysis method used to detect and represent underlying structures in a categorical data set, to analyze 8 years (2004 to 2011) of vehicle–pedestrian crashes in Louisiana. Pedestrian crash data are best represented as transactions of multiple categorical variables, so the use of MCA was a unique choice to determine the relationship of the variables and their significance. The findings indicated several nontrivial focus groups (e.g., drivers with high-occupancy vehicles, female drivers in bad weather conditions, and drivers distracted by mobile phone use). The associated geometric factors were hillcrest roadways, dip or hump aligned roadways, roadways with multiple lanes, and roadways with no lighting at night. Male drivers were seen to be relatively susceptible to severe and moderate injury crashes. Fatal pedestrian crashes were correlated to two-lane roadways with no lighting at night. The MCA method helped measure significant contributing factors and degrees of association between the factors through the analysis of the systematic patterns of variation with categorical data sets of pedestrian crashes. The findings from this study will help transportation professionals improve countermeasure selection strategies.
ontrasting the efficacy of the MMPI-2-RF overreporting scales in the etection of malingering

Though it has been the most extensively used instrument for forensic evaluation, the MMPI-2 is being gradually replaced by the MMPI-2-RF version, requiring evidence research to support it. A malingering design was implemented to assess the efficacy of the overreporting validity scales in discriminating between a group of malingerers and the general and clinical populations in a forensic context. Of a total of 878 subjects, 309 were from the general population, 308 from the clinical population, and 261 were instructed to malinger a psychological injury. The results showed that malingerers scored significantly higher than the clinical and general population on the F-r, Fp-r, FBS-r, Fs and RBS scales. As for the classification of cases, the F-r, Fp-r, FBS-r, Fs, and RBS scales classified correctly and significantly between malingerers and honest respondents from the general population, and the F-r and Fp-r scales between malingerers and clinical population. Additionally, the results showed F-r incremental validity over Fp-r, and vice versa. Thus, F-r and Fp-r scales are independent and may be accumulated to detect malingering. Forensic practical implications from the results were derived and discussed. © 2017 Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos de Madrid. Published by Elsevier España, S.L. U.

1 SINGLE-SCATTERED GRADIENT DOMAIN RENDERING As shown in the main paper, the α-weight in Eq. (11) determines a compromise between the estimate of the base image and the estimated gradients. Fig. 1 depicts the screened Poisson reconstruction results for different α values in the ABC [2] flow, an analytic benchmark data set that contains vortex tubes that are separated by FTLE ridge surfaces . The higher α , the less gradient information is used. Lehtinen et al. [3] recommended a default value of α = 1, which we used in the paper.
EXPERIMENT 6 PROJECT 2 B-102-0506 THE RESPONSES OF LIGHT AND HEAVY PIGS AT WEANING TO DIETARY SPRAY-DRIED PORCINE PLASMA Report prepared for the Pork Co-operative Research Centre By Ms

The main objective of this study was to determine whether weaner diets containing SDPP could assist light-for-age pigs to perform better during the post-weaning period, as these are the most disadvantaged group at weaning. A total of 96 pigs weaned at 21 days were used in a 2 x 2 factorially designed experiment with the respective factors being (1) light(4.9 ± 0.67 kg LW) or heavy(6.9 ± 0.73 kg LW) for-age pigs and (2) a diet containing SDPP (5% and 2.5%, for phase I and II, respectively) or a control diet not containing SDPP. Concentration of IgG, IgM and IgA in the SDPP included in the diets was 10.8, 3.3 and 0.7%, respectively. Each treatment had 8 replicates (pens) with 3 pigs per pen. Stage I diets were fed for the first week and Stage II for the following 2 weeks until the experiment ceased at 21 days after weaning. Pigs were weighed weekly and feed refusals daily to calculate performance indices. One pig per pen, randomly selected, was bled on days 7 and 14 to measure circulating levels of immunoglobulins, routine haematology indices and plasma urea nitrogen (PUN). Data were subjected to a two-way analysis of variance with the pen as the experimental unit. The inclusion of SDPP in the diet improved performance of both lightand heavy-for-age pigs during the first week post-weaning. Such effects disappeared in the following 2 weeks and over the 3-week study pigs supplemented with SDPP tended to gain (20 g per day) more than the control pigs. Haematology indices as well as immunoglobulin levels in plasma were similar between treatments except for IgG, which was higher in the heavy control pigs than in the rest on day 14 of the experiment. Pigs fed the SDPP diet had lower PUN levels than the pigs on the control diet possibly indicating an increased efficiency of dietary protein utilisation as a result of SDPP supplementation. The inclusion of SDPP in weaner pig diets at 5% during the first week after weaning offers a means of improving performance of weaner pigs.

Impacto das variáveis sociodemográficas e familiares no funcionamento familiar, avaliado pelo score-15: estudo exploratório numa amostra angolana não-clínica

The present study has as main objective to verify the impact of sociodemographic and family variables on the total result of the Systemic Clinical Outcome and Routine Evaluation (SCORE; Stratton, Bland, Janes & Lask, 2010), specifically SCORE-15, as well as contribute to the evaluation studies of SCORE for the Angolan population. This research involved a non-clinical sample consisting of 163 subjects and the results obtained resemble those of Stratton and collaborators (2010) and Mendes (2011) regarding the factorial structure and the internal consistency of the instrument, except for some exceptions that can be explained by cultural factor. The level of schooling and socioeconomic variables (sociodemographic variables), as well as the stage of the life cycle and family composition (family variables) seem to significantly influence family functioning, contrary to the variables gender, age group, marital status, area of ​​residence and ethnicity. As it is an exploratory study, it is expected that new and future investigations will be made with all versions of SCORE in Angola.
Everyone’s collections at Art Museums: groundbreaking digital business strategy as cornerstone for synergies

Purpose of the paper: This paper aims to investigate how an innovative digital strategy of a museum could develop new avenues for business and social value, looking into its role as a booster of competitive advantage for cultural institutions and as a possible source of socio-cultural development. Methodology: The research project focuses on the analysis of the Rijksmuseumâ€™s re-opening strategy, using a case-based qualitative and recursive approach, where the outcome of each phase has been the starting point of the following phase. Findings: â€œOpen digital-cultural contentsâ€ make art and culture more accessible, stimulating people to value Cultural Heritage, heightening the level of cultural participation by lowering the threshold to experience culture and art. This e-strategy has been the precondition to develop synergies and alliances, moving towards a creative economy by catalysing spillovers in a wide range of economic and social contexts. Research limits: This is a case-based research paper with contextual factors, but we consider the data to be particularly suitable for illustrating and extending relationships and logic among constructs. Practical implications: The research contributes to better unlock the potential of the digital-cultural-contents leading to understanding of how to boost the durability of cultural organizations and unlock the potential of cultural and creative industries (CCIs). Originality of the paper: Identifying synergies emerging from museumsâ€™ ground-breaking digital-strategies adds significantly to the body of knowledge on the topic of innovation management in the cross-fertilization territories of the CCIs.
Three-Factor Model of Employee Passion: An Empirical Study in the Indian Context

Although the passion that people demonstrate at work would appear to be a topic of considerable interest and importance to organizational scholars and practitioners, the extant literature scarcely discusses the construct of it without further investigation. The study of Vallerand et al. (2003) pertaining to the area of passion has made profound theoretical contribution confirming the precepts of positive psychology (Seligman, 2002). However, the behavioural outcomes such as working on holidays, or out-of-work outcomes such as constantly thinking about work when not at work (work rumination) sharing a nomological network with the construct, has not been examined by them, as argued by Perrewe et al., (2014). Further, the comprehensive work shown by Zigarmi et al. (2011) in defining the Work Passion (WP) construct suffers from methodological lacunae. Given that the extant literature on work passion calls for further examination, the pertinent study aims to investigate the validity and reliability of Passion scales based on the model proposed by Zigarmi et al. (2011). Four dimensions of a process model constituting work cognition, work affect, job wellbeing, and work intention along with work rumination as an integral part of work passion were examined. Questionnaires were administered to a sample of corporate professionals heralding spectrum of industries to validate the passion scale. The principal component analysis was performed which extracted four factors (work cognition, work affect, job well-being & work rumination) out of five factors to validate the construct. However, in order to confirm the validity of the scale, the structural equation modeling analysis was adopted which further indicated that the three-factor structure of work passion (work cognition, work affect, and work rumination) was the best fit model in comparison to the four-factor models. Incidentally, the emergence of work rumination as an important dimension of WP construct has confirmed the dualistic nature of the passion construct as stated by Vallerand et al. (2003) through its dualistic status as positive and negative work rumination. The triadic nature of WP can be prospective as well as retrospective in nature; where people tend to think about issues that have occurred in the past or anticipatively ruminate about issues and demands that may arise at work (Cropley & Zijlstra, 2011). The intriguing nature of the present study suggesting cognitions (work cognition), affects (work affects), and behaviours (work rumination) to be preceding the formation of dualistic status of passion (harmonious and obsessive passion) provides a good basis for future investigation.
Possible Mechanisms for the Contralateral Effects of Unilateral Resistance Training

contractions against a resistance greater than those normally encountered in activities of daily living. Training of this kind is known to increase strength via adaptations in both the muscular and nervous systems. While the physiology of muscular adaptations following resistance training is well understood, the nature of neural adaptations is less clear. One piece of indirect evidence to indicate that neural adaptations accompany resistance training comes from the phenomenon of ‘cross education’, which describes the strength gain in the opposite, untrained limb following unilateral resistance training. Since its discovery in 1894, subsequent studies have confirmed the existence of cross education in contexts involving voluntary, imagined and electrically stimulated contractions. The crosseducation effect is specific to the contralateral homologous muscle but not restricted to particular muscle groups, ages or genders. A recent meta-analysis determined that the magnitude of cross education is ≈7.8% of the initial strength of the untrained limb. While many features of cross education have been established, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. This article provides an overview of cross education and presents plausible hypotheses for its mechanisms. Two hypotheses are outlined that represent the most viable explanations for cross education. These hypotheses are distinct but not necessarily mutually exclusive. They are derived from evidence that highforce, unilateral, voluntary contractions can have an acute and potent effect on the efficacy of neural elements controlling the opposite limb. It is possible that with training, long-lasting adaptations may be induced in neural circuits mediating these crossed effects. The first hypothesis suggests that unilateral resistance training may activate neural circuits that chronically modify the efficacy of motor pathways that project to the opposite untrained limb. This may subsequently lead to an increased capacity to drive the untrained muscles and thus result in increased strength. A number of spinal and cortical circuits that exhibit the potential for this type of adaptation are considered. The second hypothesis suggests that unilateral resistance training induces adaptations in motor areas that are primarily involved
Modeling behavioral adaptations

Abstract Optimization models have often been useful in attempting to understand the adaptive significance of behavioral traits. Originally such models were applied to isolated aspects of behavior, such as foraging, mating, or parental behavior. In reality, organisms live in complex, ever-changing environments, and are simultaneously concerned with many behavioral choices and their consequences. This target article describes a dynamic modeling technique that can be used to analyze behavior in a unified way. The technique has been widely used in behavioral studies of insects, fish, birds, mammals, and other organisms. The models use biologically meaningful parameters and variables, and lead to testable predictions. Limitations arise because nature's complexity always exceeds our modeling capacity.
