Content vs. function words: The view from distributional semantics1

Counter to the often assumed division of labour between content and function words, we argue that both types of words have lexical content in addition to their logical content. We propose that the difference between the two types of words is a difference in degree. We conducted a preliminary study of quantificational determiners with methods from Distributional Semantics, a computational approach to natural language semantics. Our findings have implications both for distributional and formal semantics. For distributional semantics, they indicate a possible avenue that can be used to tap into the meaning of function words. For formal semantics, they bring into light the context-sensitive, lexical aspects of function words that can be recovered from the data even when these aspects are not overtly marked. Such pervasive context-sensitivity has profound implications for how we think about meaning in natural language.
An epidemiological study to find the prevalence and socio-demographic profile of overweight and obesity in private school children, Mumbai -

Background: As developing societies industrialize and urbanize, and standards of living continue to rise, weight gain and obesity are now becoming a growing threat to the health of the future citizens Objective: To find the prevalence of overweight and obesity and socio-demographic factors among children in private schools of an urban area. Methods and Material: A cross-sectional study, conducted in all private schools present in the Sion area. Age group selected was 13–15 years. Data were collected using semi-structured self-administered questionnaire schedule. Data were related to information about socio-demographic factors, anthropometric measurements (height, weight) of study subjects to calculate body mass index, and certain risk factors of obesity and overweight. Analysis was done by using chi-square test. Results: There were 44.2%, 49.3%, and 18.1% students overweight and obese in 13 years, 14 years, and 15 years of age, respectively. The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children was 31.1% and 5.7%, respectively. More than half number of school children belonged to the upper-middle (35.3% and upper-lower (28.7%) economic class, who ate fast foods, noodles, snacks, pastries, butter, ice-cream, fizzy drinks, chocolates, milk, and non-vegetarian food particularly chicken and fish from outside. Conclusions: The nutritional transition, lifestyle, and popularity of fast food, fizzy drinks, sedentary behavior, lack of sport, increased TV/computer watching and working parents are risk factors.
A role for spiral waves in visual attention?

We are investigating possible functional roles for spiral wave activity in visual cortex. Our initial findings suggest that spiral wave formation can be useful for visual salience analysis, in particular for mediating attention to human body features. Exploiting travelling wave dynamics for visual processing offers many advantages, including template-free sensitivity to spatial patterns, robustness and suitability for parallel and physical implementation.
Films and Their Optical Characteristics

AgGaSe2 films were brush electrodeposited on tin oxide coated glass substrates at different substrate temperatures. The films were single phase with a chalcopyrite structure. Optical absorption measurements indicated a band gap in the range of 1.74 eV to 1.94 eV with decreasing substrate temperature. Transmission spectra exhibited interference fringes. Using the envelope method, calculated values of the refractive index at 850 nm decreased from 2.60 to 2.42 with decreasing substrate temperature. Optical data were analyzed by the singleeffective oscillator model, and the single oscillator energy as well as the dispersion energy were estimated. The single oscillator energy decreased from 3.90 eV to 3.42 eV with increasing substrate temperature. The dispersion energy increased from 18.56 eV to 19.17 eV with increasing substrate temperature.
Novel pipelined switched-current A/D converter for smart sensors

This paper describes pipelined switched-current A/D converter designed in 0. 6μm BiCMOS technology. Modified conventional-restoring algorithm, called redundant-sign-digit (RSD), was implemented what decreases the amount of high-precision components. Two modes of operation are possible. By changing from pipeline conversion to cycling mode, less power dissipation is obtained at the expense of conversion time. Proposed A/D converter is suitable for conversion of the current with very low amplitude from analog into digital domain. Current mode enables operation down to 3V thus is suitable for battery powered applications. The system integrates band-gap reference and independent supervisory circuit with 1% accuracy. Current consumption in sleep mode is less than 1μA. A/D converter is prepared to meet 1452.2 specifications.

Influence of incubation of virus for the transmission of dengue disease

The transmission of dengue disease is studied through mathematical model. This disease is transmitted between two people by biting of infectious Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. After infected with dengue virus, both human and vector populations become to be infected class before to be infectious class. Only infectious class can transmit dengue virus to susceptible class. The original SIR(Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered) model can not describe the difference between infected and infectious classes. Thus the modified model is considered in this study. This model is formulated by separating the human population into susceptible, infected, infectious and recovered classes. The vector population is divided into susceptible, infected and infectious classes. The dynamical analysis method is used for analyzing this modified model. We confirm these results by using numerical results. We found that the infected class decreases the periods of oscillations in the population. Keywords— basic reproductive number, dengue infection, incubation period, local stability.
Calf Trabecular Meshwork

Superoxide dismutase and catalase activities have been measured in cell-free extracts of calf trabecular meshwork, and for comparison, in calf iris, retina, lens, liver, and erythrocytes. Gel electrophoresis has been used to identify isozymes of each enzyme. The superoxide dismutase and catalase activities per milligram wet weight of calf trabecular meshwork, 0.184 and 0.884 U/mg wet wt, respectively, were comparable to those found in iris and retina, and much higher than those found in lens. Three isozymes of superoxide dismutase were identified in trabecular meshwork. Two of these presumably correspond to cytoplasmic superoxide dismutase, while the third corresponds to a mitochondrial isozyme. A presumably mitochondria! superoxide dismutase activity was also observed in iris and retina, but not in lens. A single catalase isozyme was found in all tissues examined. At physiologic H2O2 concentrations, catalase may have similar levels of activity to glutathione peroxidase. Superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase may constitute an important defense mechanism of trabecular meshwork against the toxic Ol and H2O2 to which it must be continuously exposed from endogenous production as well as from the aqueous humor.

Revisiting Continuous Time Limits of Volatility Processes∗

In an important contribution, Nelson (1990) studied the convergence of stochastic difference equations like GARCH models to stochastic differential equations as the length of the discrete time intervals between observations goes to zero. In particular, Nelson (1990) proved that the GARCH model converges to a stochastic volatility model. In a different work, Corradi (2000) reconsidered Nelson’s work and made some different assumptions and proved that the limiting process of her GARCH process was a deterministic volatility model. The difference among the two papers is in the specification of the GARCH(1,1) parameters as functions of the length of the returns, which are not part of the GARCH model and are ad hoc assumptions. In this note, we argue that instead of making these ad hoc assumptions, one should impose restrictions at the aggregated level, like daily frequencies. More specifically, by imposing the empirical observations that daily data are leptokurtic and that their squares are auto-correlated, we get the same restrictions imposed by Nelson (1990), giving to his results more empirical and theoretical foundations.
Factors Affecting Survival of Maxillary Sinus Augmented Implants

Purpose: The aim of this study was to present the clinical results of maxillary sinus augmentation implants and to evaluate the effects of various factors on the implant survival rate. Methods: In a total of 112 patients, 293 implants after sinus augmentation were performed. The total survival rate and the influence of the following factors on implant survival were evaluated; patient characteristics (sex, age, smoking, general disease), graft material, implant surface, implant installation stage, site of implant placement, length and width of implant, closure method for osseous window, residual alveolar bone height. Results: 1. Age ranged from 16 to 70 yr, with a mean of 45.7 yr. 2. Cumulative survival rate for the 293 implants with the maxillary sinus augmentation procedure was 94.9%. 3. Simultaneous implant installation was performed in 122 patients and delayed implant installation was performed in 117 implants. The average healing period after sinus elevation was 7.3 months for delayed implant installation and this procedure had a significantly higher survival rate. 4. There were no significant differences in sex, age, smoking, general disease, site of implant placement, length and width of implant, residual alveolar bone height and the survival rate. 5. RBM (Resorbable Blasting Media) implant surface and allograft groups had significantly lower survival rates. Conclusion: These data suggest that maxillary sinus augmentation may give more predictable results for autogenous bone grafts and delayed implant placement.
Omega-3 Fatty Acid Enrichment Capacity in Egg Yolks from Laying Hens Fed either Corn Germ Oil or Corn Germ Meal

Enrichment of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in egg yolk via diets alternationhas been considered worldwide. The concentrations of alpha-linolenic (ALA), eicosapentaenoic (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acids (DHA) in the yolk can reachup to 250 mg/50 g whole egg. Corn germ meal (CGM), a rich source of ALA, iswidely used for omega-3 enrichment; however, the impact of dietary corn germ source: corn germ oil (CGO) and CGM on fatty acid transfer to egg yolk in laying hens is still a little known. Therefore, this study was aimed to evaluate the transfer of ALA, EPA, and DHA into egg yolk from extracted corn germ oil or corn germ meal. A total of 132 Hy-Line W-36 laying hens (from 25 to 33 wks. old) were randomly housed with 3 birds/cage (4 replicates/treatment) for each of the 11 treatment groups. Diets were isocaloric and consisted of a control diet, 5 corn germ oil diets (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, or 5.0% corn germ oil), and 5 corn germ meal diets (calculated corn germ oil concentration from corn germ meal 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0%). Increasing dietary concentrations of corn germ oil and corngerm meal resulted in increased ALA, EPA, and DHA concentration in egg yolk, total fatty acid deposition from corn germ oil was 2 times greater than that of corn germ meal when fed at the same dietary inclusions (P < 0.01) but EPA and DHA concentrationsin egg yolk were not different due to oil or meal source (P = 0.22); however, increasing dietary inclusion rates of corn germ oil from either source increased yolk EPA and DHA (P < 0.01). Hens fed either corn germ oil or corngerm meal resulted in reduction of BW as dietary concentrations increased (P = 0.02). Feed efficiency increased as corn germ oil increased in concentration, while feeding corn germ meal decreased feed efficiency (P = 0.01). Analysis of the nitrogen corrected apparent metabolizable energy (AMEn) of corn germ oil resulted in 7,468 kcal/kg on an as-fed basic. Dietary corn germ oil improved feed efficiency and increased ALA deposition into yolk compared to that of the meal source, demonstrating that corn germ oil to be a viable alternative for ALA egg enrichment.

Anisotropic Gaussian approximation in $L_2(\mathbb{R}^2)$

Let $\mathcal{D}$ be the dictionary of Gaussian mixtures: the functions created by affine change of variables of a single Gaussian in $n$ dimensions. $\mathcal{D}$ is used pervasively in scientific applications to a degree that practitioners often employ it as their default choice for representing their scientific object. Its use in applications hinges on the perception that this dictionary is large enough, and its members are local enough in space and frequency, to provide efficient approximation to"almost all objects of interest". However, and perhaps surprisingly, only a handful of concrete theoretical results are actually known on the ability to use Gaussian mixtures in lieu of mainstream representation systems. The present paper shows that, in 2D, Gaussian mixtures are effective in resolving anisotropic structures, too. In this setup, the"smoothness class"is comprised of 2D functions that are sparsely represented using curvelets. An algorithm for $N$-term approximation from (a small subset of) $\mathcal{D}$ is presented, and the error bounds are then shown to be on par with the errors of $N$-term curvelet approximation. The latter are optimal, essentially by definition. Our approach is based on providing effective approximation from $\mathcal{D}$ to the members of the curvelet system, mimicking the approach in arXiv:0802.2517 and arXiv:0911.2803 where the mother wavelets are approximated. When the error is measured in the $1$-norm, this adaptation of the prior approach, combined with standard tools, yields the desired results. However, handling the $2$-norm case is much more subtle and requires substantial new machinery: in this case, the error analysis cannot be solely done on the space domain: some of it has to be carried out on frequency. Since, on frequency, all members of $\mathcal{D}$ are centered at the origin, a delicate analysis for controlling the error there is needed.

SPECIAL SECTION ON EXPLOITING THE BENEFITS OF INTERFERENCE IN WIRELESS NETWORKS: ENERGY HARVESTING AND SECURITY

This paper studies the beamforming designs for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer systems in two-way relaying (TWR) channels. The system consists of two energy-constrained source nodes which employ the power splitting (PS) to receive the information and the energy simultaneously from the power-supply relay. To maximize the weighted sum energy subject to the constraints of the quality of service and the transmit powers, three well-known relaying protocols, i.e., amplify-and-forward, bit level XOR-based decode-and-forward (DF), and symbol level superposition coding-based DF, are considered. For each relaying protocol, we formulate the joint relay beamforming, the source transmit power, and the PS ratios optimization as a nonconvex quadratically constrained problem. To solve the complex nonconvex problem, we decouple the objective problem into two subproblems in which one is to optimize the beamforming vectors while another is to optimize the remaining parameters. We show that the optimal solution of each subproblem can be obtained in the closed-form expressions. The solution is finally obtained with the proposed convergent iterative algorithm. Extensive numerical results demonstrate the advantage of adapting the different relaying strategies and weighted factors to harvest energy in TWR channels. INDEX TERMS Beamforming, energy harvesting (EH), simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), two-way relaying (TWR), power splitting (PS).
Characteristics of effective interventions in improving young people's sexual health: a review of reviews

The purpose of this paper is to conduct a review of reviews to identify characteristics of effective sex and relationship education (SRE) interventions and/or programmes in young people to improve sexual health and identify barriers and facilitators for implementation. Six bibliographic databases were searched from 1986 to 2006 for systematic reviews that assessed SRE interventions or programmes in participants between 10 and 18 years old and their partners. All outcomes of improvement in sexual health were assessed and 30 systematic reviews were included. Effective interventions and/or programmes tended to be those targeting younger age groups before they become sexually active, focused interventions tailored to the physical and biological development stages, theory based, and abstinence education programmes that incorporate values of relationships and provide skills training and links to contraceptive services. Adequate training of personnel delivering the interventions and culturally sensitive programmes were identified as important facilitators of effectiveness. Future research should explore the appropriate age for initiating sex education and investigate targeting specific behaviour compared with multiple-outcome targeting. Research exploring the reasons for interventions focusing on specific populations (i.e. African and Hispanic origins), even if they were conducted in countries dominated by Caucasians, is warranted.

13.4: Effects of Temperature and Pressure on Solubility

Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\) shows plots of the solubilities of several organic and inorganic compounds in water as a function of temperature. Although the solubility of a solid generally increases with increasing temperature, there is no simple relationship between the structure of a substance and the temperature dependence of its solubility. Many compounds (such as glucose and \(CH_3CO_2Na\)) exhibit a dramatic increase in solubility with increasing temperature. Others (such as \(NaCl\) and \(K_2SO_4\)) exhibit little variation, and still others (such as \(Li_2SO_4\)) become less soluble with increasing temperature.
Traversability Assessment and Trajectory Planning of Unmanned Ground Vehicles with Suspension Systems on Rough Terrain

This paper presents a traversability assessment method and a trajectory planning method. They are key features for the navigation of an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) in a non-planar environment. In this work, a 3D light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor is used to obtain the geometric information about a rough terrain surface. For a given SE(2) pose of the vehicle and a specific vehicle model, the SE(3) pose of the vehicle is estimated based on LiDAR points, and then a traversability is computed. The traversability tells the vehicle the effects of its interaction with the rough terrain. Note that the traversability is computed on demand during trajectory planning, so there is not any explicit terrain discretization. The proposed trajectory planner finds an initial path through the non-holonomic A*, which is a modified form of the conventional A* planner. A path is a sequence of poses without timestamps. Then, the initial path is optimized in terms of the traversability, using the method of Lagrange multipliers. The optimization accounts for the model of the vehicle’s suspension system. Therefore, the optimized trajectory is dynamically feasible, and the trajectory tracking error is small. The proposed methods were tested in both the simulation and the real-world experiments. The simulation experiments were conducted in a simulator called Gazebo, which uses a physics engine to compute the vehicle motion. The experiments were conducted in various non-planar experiments. The results indicate that the proposed methods could accurately estimate the SE(3) pose of the vehicle. Besides, the trajectory cost of the proposed planner was lower than the trajectory costs of other state-of-the-art trajectory planners.
