We address an important problem in sequence-to-sequence (Seq2Seq) learning referred to as copying, in which certain segments in the input sequence are selectively replicated in the output sequence. A similar phenomenon is observable in human language communication. For example, humans tend to repeat entity names or even long phrases in conversation. The challenge with regard to copying in Seq2Seq is that new machinery is needed to decide when to perform the operation. In this paper, we incorporate copying into neural networkbased Seq2Seq learning and propose a new model called COPYNET with encoderdecoder structure. COPYNET can nicely integrate the regular way of word generation in the decoder with the new copying mechanism which can choose subsequences in the input sequence and put them at proper places in the output sequence. Our empirical study on both synthetic data sets and real world data sets demonstrates the efficacy of COPYNET. For example, COPYNET can outperform regular RNN-based model with remarkable margins on text summarization tasks.
Development and Stem Cells Research Article

INTRODUCTION The precise coordination of cell proliferation, differentiation and death ensures that organs of the correct size, morphology and composition are formed; the orchestration of these programmes is particularly evident during neurogenesis in the vertebrate retina. Neuronal differentiation in the eye commences when multipotent retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) begin to exit the cell cycle and acquire postmitotic fates in a temporally and spatially coordinated manner, with retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) born first and rod photoreceptors and Müller glia last (Agathocleous and Harris, 2009; Livesey and Cepko, 2001). As in other systems, RPC proliferation is intrinsically controlled by the ordered synthesis and destruction of regulatory proteins that propel cells through phases of growth, DNA replication and chromosome segregation. As cells pass from one cell cycle phase to the next, they assess their internal and external environments to verify that previous events have been accurately completed and to confirm that their choice to continue cycling or to exit is appropriate. A variety of inhibitory mechanisms arrest cells at key checkpoints to enable repair of replication mistakes, DNA damage or chromosome alignment errors, or, if the mistakes are irreparable, to allow induction of apoptosis (reviewed by Malumbres and Barbacid, 2009). Retinal neurogenesis continues throughout life in fish and amphibians as their eyes continue to grow. In these animals, after the onset of neurogenesis in the central retina, neurons are added to the
Pengaruh Employee Engagement terhadap Kepuasan Kerja dan Turnover Intention Perawat (Studi pada Rumah Sakit Wava Husada Kepanjen Malang)

Abstract: Human resources is essential to prevent turnover intention of hospital nurses. Nurses engagement is expected to produce nurses satisfaction and finally lower turnover intention. This study aims to examine the effect of employee engagement on job satisfaction and turnover intention of nurses at Wava Husada Hospital Kepanjen-Malang. The research was a cross sectional research. Sample of the study were 102 nurses who work at inpatient and outpatient unit of Wava Husada Hospital. Questionnaire with 5 point Likert scale was used to measure employee engagement, job satisfaction, turnover intention. Path analysis was used to test the direct and indirect direct effect of the variables. The results showed that employee engagement has direct effect on job satisfaction and turnover intention. On the other hand, job satisfaction has direct effect on turnover intention of nurses in hospitals Wava Husada Kepanjen. The results also indicate that there was an indirect effect of employee engagement on turnover intention through job satisfaction
Economics and Well-Being

Modern, empirical research on happiness was initiated by social psychologists. Important contributions have been made by a variety of researchers including Argyle (1987), Csikszentmihalyi (1990), Michalos (1991), and Lyubomirsky (2008). Most influential have been the collected volumes edited by Kahneman et al. (1999) and the work conducted by Diener and his colleagues (e.g., Diener, 1984, 2000; Diener and BiswasDiener, 2002, 2008; Diener and Oishi, 2000). Happiness has, of course, been a central issue for philosophers, in particular Aristotle (for an account, see McMahon, 2006), but they have not undertaken any quantitative research. The founding father of an economics of happiness is Easterlin (1974), but van Praag (1968) preceded him. Based on empirical data for the United States, Easterlin argued that increasing income does not raise happiness. This unconventional contribution was neglected at that time, as was a similar discussion by Scitovsky (1976) in his book The Joyless Economy. A major reason for disregarding this insight was that economists assumed that it is not possible to measure utility in a satisfactory way. Surveys were not taken to be an acceptable method because they were thought to be superficial and even misleading because the respondents had no interest in telling what they really feel, and tended to answer in a misleading way. Subjects were thought to only express their true preferences when they chose between given options. This belief in the ‘revealed preference approach’ was only shaken when psychologists demonstrated that it is possible to capture subjective well-being by surveys. Happiness research found more general interest in the discipline shortly before the turn of the century (e.g., Clark and Oswald, 1994; Frank, 1997; Oswald, 1997). Thereafter happiness research has become increasingly prominent, especially since the survey article by Frey and Stutzer (2002a) in the Journal of Economic Literature. Since then, a considerable number of books (e.g., Frey, 2008; Frey and Stutzer, 2002b; Graham and Pettinato, 24
Quality of life of breast cancer patients in Taiwan: Validation of the Taiwan Chinese version of the EORTC QLQ‐C30 and EORTC QLQ‐BR23

The objective of this study was to test the reliability and validity of the Taiwan Chinese version of the EORTC QLQ‐C30 (version 3) and EORTC QLQ‐BR23. The authors followed the guidelines of translation and pilot testing of the questionnaires. The questionnaires were given to 35 breast cancer patients under active treatment and 54 under follow‐up at the National Taiwan University Hospital from November 2000 to October 2001. A retest was conducted one to two weeks after the first interview/form completion for the follow‐up group. The intraclass correlation coefficients of the two questionnaires were moderate to high in the follow‐up group. The Cronbach's α coefficients of most scales of the two questionnaires were ≥ 0.70 except that of physical functioning (0.68), cognitive functioning (0.53), and arm symptoms (0.59). Correlations of scales measuring similar dimensions of the EORTC QLQ‐C30 and the SF‐36 were moderate. Patients in the active treatment group had more serious QOL problems due to disease and treatment. Results of this study showed that the Taiwan Chinese version of the two questionnaires had good test/retest reliability, high internal consistency in most scales, and could show the expected differences between patients in active chemotherapy and follow‐up group.

Role of human papillomavirus in the etiology of head and neck cancer

Head and neck cancer is the world's sixth most common cancer, but despite advances in treatment, there has been no significant decline in the mortality rate. In recent years, there has been mounting epidemiologic and experimental evidence of a role for human papillomavirus (HPV) as the etiologic agent of a subset of head and neck cancers. The association is strongest for oropharyngeal cancers, especially those of the tonsil. HPV 16 is invariably the predominant type. HPV‐positive cancers have been shown to be biologically distinct, clustering among nonsmokers and light drinkers, and have been associated with a favorable prognosis. This review examines the current findings of HPV in head and neck cancers and discusses implications for developing new treatments. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2006

Probability Updating and the Market for Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance

There is a continuing debate related to insurers’ use of direct repair programs, in which they contract with particular body shops to perform insured auto repairs according to terms agreed to by the insurers and repair shop owners. A similar debate exists related to insurers specifying the use of aftermarket crash parts instead of original equipment manufacturer parts to replace damaged vehicle components, such as door panels, fenders, and hoods. This study examines these issues from a variety of perspectives providing initial evidence that if properly used, these cost containment tools can be beneficial to consumers and insurers.
Detecting Faces Using Region-based Fully Convolutional Networks

Face detection has achieved great success using the region-based methods. In this report, we propose a region-based face detector applying deep networks in a fully convolutional fashion, named Face R-FCN. Based on Region-based Fully Convolutional Networks (R-FCN), our face detector is more accurate and computational efficient compared with the previous R-CNN based face detectors. In our approach, we adopt the fully convolutional Residual Network (ResNet) as the backbone network. Particularly, We exploit several new techniques including position-sensitive average pooling, multi-scale training and testing and on-line hard example mining strategy to improve the detection accuracy. Over two most popular and challenging face detection benchmarks, FDDB and WIDER FACE, Face R-FCN achieves superior performance over state-of-the-arts.
Neonatal intensive care

144 www.pccmjournal. org February 2016 • Volume 17 • Number 2 Objective: To determine the optimal saline volume bladder instillation to measure intravesical pressure in critically ill newborns weighing less than 4.5 kg, and to establish a reference of intraabdominal pressure value in this population. Design: Prospective monocentric study. Setting: Neonatal ICU and PICU. Patients: Newborns, premature or not, weighing less than 4.5 kg who required a urethral catheter. Measurements and Main Results: Patients were classified into two groups according to whether they presented a risk factor for intra-abdominal hypertension. Nine intravesical pressure measures per patient were performed after different volume saline instillation. The first one was done without saline instillation and then by increments of 0.5 mL/kg to a maximum of 4 mL/kg. Linear models for repeated measurements of intravesical pressure with unstructured covariance were used to analyze the variation of intravesical pressure measures according to the conditions of measurement (volume instilled). Pairwise comparisons of intravesical pressure adjusted mean values between instillation volumes were done using Tukey tests, corrected for multiple testing to determine an optimal instillation volume. Forty-seven patients with completed measures (nine instillations volumes) were included in the analysis. Mean intravesical pressure values were not significantly different when measured after instillation of 0.5, 1, or 1.5 mL/kg, whereas measures after instillation of 2 mL/kg or more were significantly higher. The median intravesical pressure value in the group without intra-abdominal hypertension risk factor after instillation of 1 mL/kg was 5 mm Hg (2–6 mm Hg). Conclusions: The optimal saline volume bladder instillation to measure intra-abdominal pressure in newborns weighing less than 4.5 kg was 1 mL/kg. Reference intra-abdominal pressure in this population was found to be 5 mm Hg (2–6 mm Hg). (Pediatr Crit Care Med 2016; 17:144–149)
Near-Optimal Noisy Group Testing via Separate Decoding of Items

In this paper, we revisit an efficient algorithm for noisy group testing in which each item is decoded separately (Malyutov and Mateev, 1980), and develop novel performance guarantees via an information-theoretic framework for general noise models. For the noiseless and symmetric noise models, we find that the asymptotic number of tests required for vanishing error probability is within a factor $\log 2\approx 0.7$ of the information-theoretic optimum at low sparsity levels, and that when a small fraction of incorrectly-decoded items is allowed, this guarantee extends to all sublinear sparsity levels. In many scaling regimes, these are the best known theoretical guarantees for any noisy group testing algorithm.
MEASURED METALLICITIES AT THE SITES OF NEARBY BROAD-LINED TYPE Ic SUPERNOVAE AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE SUPERNOVAE GAMMA-RAY BURST CONNECTION

We compare the chemical abundances at the sites of 12 nearby (z < 0.14) Type Ic supernovae (SN Ic) that showed broad lines, but had no observed gamma-ray burst (GRB), with the chemical abundances in five nearby (z < 0.25) galaxies at the sites of GRBs where broad-lined SN Ic were seen after the fireball had faded. It has previously been noted that GRB hosts are low in luminosity and low in their metal abundances. If low metallicity is sufficient to force the evolution of massive stars to end their lives as GRBs with an accompanying broad-lined SN Ic, then we would expect higher metal abundances for the broad-lined SN Ic that have no detected GRBs. This is what we observe, and this trend is independent of the choice of metallicity calibration we adopt and the mode of SN survey that found the broad-lined SN Ic. A unique feature of this analysis is that we present new spectra of the host galaxies and analyze all measurements of both samples in the same set of methods, using the galaxy emission-line measurements corrected for extinction and stellar absorption, via independent metallicity diagnostics of Kewley & Dopita, McGaugh, and Pettini & Pagel. In our small sample, the boundary between galaxies that have GRBs accompanying their broad-lined SN Ic and those that have broad-lined SN Ic without GRBs lies at an oxygen abundance of 12 + log(O/H)KD02 ∼ 8.5, which corresponds to 0.2–0.6 Z☉ depending on the adopted metallicity scale and solar abundance value. Even when we limit the comparison to SN Ic that were found in untargeted supernova surveys, the environment of every broad-lined SN Ic that had no GRB is more metal rich than the site of any broad-lined SN Ic where a GRB was detected.
Systemic Risk in the Insurance Sector: Review and Directions for Future Research

This paper reviews the extant research on systemic risk in the insurance sector and outlines new areas of research in this field. We summarize and classify 43 theoretical and empirical research papers from both academia and practitioner organizations. The survey reveals that traditional insurance activity in the life, non-life, and reinsurance sectors neither contributes to systemic risk, nor increases insurers’ vulnerability to impairments of the financial system. However, non-traditional activities (e.g., CDS underwriting) might increase vulnerability and life insurers might be more vulnerable than non-life insurers due to higher leverage. Whether non-traditional activities also contribute to systemic risk is not entirely clear; however, the activities with the potential to contribute to systemic risk include underwriting financial derivatives, providing financial guarantees, and short-term funding. This paper is of interest not only to academics, but is also highly relevant for the industry, regulators, and policymakers.
DIRECT NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF TURBULENT FLOWS GENERATED BY REGULAR AND FRACTAL GRIDS USING AN IMMERSED BOUNDARY METHOD

Two turbulent flows, one generated by a regular grid and the other by a fractal square grid are studied by means of Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS). An innovative approach which combines high order compact schemes, Immersed Boundary Method and an efficient domain decomposition method is used in this study. Turbulent statistics such as Reynolds stresses are investigated with the objective to analyse the two different regions (production and decay regions) downstream from the grid, as already observed in the experimental results of Hurst & Vassilicos (2007). The main goal of this numerical study is to identify the physical mechanisms implicated in the generation of turbulent flows, especially when generated at different scales, but also to compare the different levels of turbulence intensity generated by each grid.
Error bounds for augmented truncation approximations of Markov chains via the perturbation method

Abstract Let P be the transition matrix of a positive recurrent Markov chain on the integers with invariant probability vector πT, and let (n)P̃ be a stochastic matrix, formed by augmenting the entries of the (n + 1) x (n + 1) northwest corner truncation of P arbitrarily, with invariant probability vector (n)πT. We derive computable V-norm bounds on the error between πT and (n)πT in terms of the perturbation method from three different aspects: the Poisson equation, the residual matrix, and the norm ergodicity coefficient, which we prove to be effective by showing that they converge to 0 as n tends to ∞ under suitable conditions. We illustrate our results through several examples. Comparing our error bounds with the ones of Tweedie (1998), we see that our bounds are more applicable and accurate. Moreover, we also consider possible extensions of our results to continuous-time Markov chains.
Minimal Volume Simplex (MVS) Polytopic Model Generation and Manipulation Methodology for TP Model Transformation

The vertices of a polytopic LPV/qLPV model determine the feasibility of any linear matrix inequality (LMI) based control design as well as the achievable control performance, since the polytope typically includes not only the actual system dynamics. This paper proposes a powerful method to determine suitable polytopic qLPV Tensor‐Product model forms that allows for fine tuning through constraints on the locations of the vertices. The paper shows that these tuning methods are capable of effectively influencing the closed‐loop control performance results from LMI‐based multi‐objective optimisation. The advantages of the proposed methods are their tractability, low computational complexity, as well as their determinism. The key idea behind the proposed methods is to determine vertices in each decoupled parameter‐dimensions of the TP model in such a way that they form a minimal volume enclosing simplex fulfilling further fine tuning conditions on its shape. This is achieved based on the extension of the Minimal Volume Simplex Analysis (MVSA) method, where the volume of the enclosing simplex polytope is minimized by applying Sequential Quadratic Programming with majorization minimization strategy extended with a set of additional constraints influencing the location of certain vertices according to physically established considerations. Besides the comprehensive presentation of the proposed design methodology an expressive numerical example is provided to demonstrate its effectiveness and usability.
ON SYSTEMS OF PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS OF BRIOT–BOUQUET TYPE

We study systems of partial differential equations of Briot–Bouquet type. The existence of holomorphic solutions to such systems largely depends on the eigenvalues of an associated matrix. For the noninteger case, we generalise the well-known result of Gérard and Tahara [‘Holomorphic and singular solutions of nonlinear singular first order partial differential equations’, Publ. Res. Inst. Math. Sci. 26 (1990), 979–1000] for Briot–Bouquet type equations to Briot–Bouquet type systems. For the integer case, we introduce a sequence of blow-up like changes of variables and give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of holomorphic solutions. We also give some examples to illustrate our results.
DNA: New materials for substrate selective catalysis

ABSTRACT We discovered that random DNA fragments (RDF) could selectively catalyze the oxidation of peroxidase substrates under the H2O2-TMB system. The activity is closely related with the length of DNA chain. Taking advantage of simplicity and efficiency, the RDF would have potential applications in biotechnology and clinical diagnosis as enzymatic mimetics.
Testing for Cross-Sectional Dependence in Panel-Data Models

This article describes a new Stata routine, xtcsd, to test for the presence of cross-sectional dependence in panels with many cross-sectional units and few time-series observations. The command executes three different testing procedures—namely, Friedman's (Journal of the American Statistical Association 32: 675–701) (FR) test statistic, the statistic proposed by Frees (Journal of Econometrics 69: 393–414), and the cross-sectional dependence (CD) test of Pe-saran (General diagnostic tests for cross-section dependence in panels [University of Cambridge, Faculty of Economics, Cambridge Working Papers in Economics, Paper No. 0435]). We illustrate the command with an empirical example.
