Rich Style Embedding for Intrinsic Plagiarism Detection

Stylometry plays an important role in the intrinsic plagiarism detection, where the goal is to identify potential plagiarism by analyzing a document involving undeclared changes in writing style. The purpose of this paper is to study the interaction between syntactic structures, attention mechanism, and contextualized word embeddings, as well as their effectiveness on plagiarism detection. Accordingly, we propose a new style embedding that combines syntactic trees and the pre-trained Multi-Task Deep Neural Network (MT-DNN). Additionally, we use attention mechanisms to sum the embeddings, thereby experimenting with both a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) and a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) maxpooling for sentences encoding. Our model is evaluated on two sub-task; style change detection and style breach detection, and compared with two baseline detectors based on classic stylometric features. Keywords—Plagiarism detection; style embedding; deep neural network; stylometry; syntactic trees
On measure of departure from uniform association based on concor- dant and discordant pairs in contingency tables

For a contingency table with ordered categories, Goodman (1979) considered the uniform association model that is the extension of null association (independence) model. This model indicates that the local odds ratios for adjacent rows and adjacent columns have common value. Also, the uniform association model may be expressed as the structure that the conditional probability that a randomly selected adjacent pair of observations is in (i, j) and in (i + 1, j + 1) given that a randomly selected adjacent pair is concordant, is equal to the conditional probability that a randomly selected adjacent pair of observations is in (i, j + 1) and in (i + 1, j) given that a randomly selected adjacent pair is discordant. When the uniform association model does not hold, we are interested in measuring the degree of departure from the equality of these conditional probabilities, which is also the degree of departure from the uniform association model. The purpose of present paper is to propose a measure, which is a generalization of the measure proposed by Tahata and Tomizawa (2011), to represent the degree of departure from uniform association.
Nebennierenerkrankungen mit Blutdruckproblemen: Primärer Hyperaldosteronismus und Phäochromozytom

Adrenal Disorders Causing Blood Pressure Problems: Primary Aldosteronism and Pheochromocytoma. The hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex with overproduction of aldosterone and of the adrenal medulla with excess of catecholamines leads to mostly hypertensive disorders of blood pressure. It is essential to detect these causes of endocrine hypertension because they require a specific, often surgical therapy which improves prognosis. The following review highlights the essential clinical findings and the diagnostic and therapeutic principles according to international guidelines. J Klin Endokrinol Stoffw 2011; 4 (4): 11–18.

Dexmedetomidine Versus Ketamine Combined With Fentanyl for SedationAnalgesia in Colonoscopy Procedures: A Randomized Prospective Study

Colonoscopy is a painful, embarrassing and short-term procedure that needs temporary sedation and rapid recovery. The aim of this study was to compare the sedation and analgesia effect and hemodynamic changes due to bolus intravenous injection of dexmedetomidine and ketamine during elective colonoscopy. This clinical trial was conducted on 70 patients aged 20-70 years, candidates for elective colonoscopy, who randomly divided into two equal groups. For all patients 0.03 mg/kg midazolam 10 min before procedure was injected. Fentanyl 1 μ/kg was administrated in both groups 5 min before procedure, and one min before colonoscopy. K group received 0.5 mg/kg ketamine and D group received 1 μ/kg dexmedetomidine. Then, the normal saline infusion was used as maintenance. Fentanyl 25-50 μg was prescribed as the rescue dose if needed during the procedure. Hemodynamic changes, sedation level during procedure, patients and colonoscopists satisfaction were recorded in recovery. The mean heart rate and mean blood pressure was significantly less in the dexmedetomidine group than in the ketamine group. All of the patients in the ketamine group were deep to moderately sedated during colonoscopy, and the amount of fentanyl required in this group is much less than dexmedetomidine group (68.02±25.63 vs 91.45±38.62 μg P-0.003). In terms of satisfaction, only 42% of patients in the dexmedetomidine group were completely satisfied with colonoscopy, while 65% of Ketamine group had complete satisfaction with colonoscopy (P=0.001). The level of colonoscopist satisfaction during colonoscopy was similar in both group, and complete satisfaction was 43%. In patients undergoing colonoscopy, IV bolus injection of dexmedetomidine in comparison with ketamine provides less patients satisfactory and low level of sedation with supplemental multiple doses of fentanyl during the procedure. © 2019 Tehran University of Medical Sciences.

Burn Resuscitation with Fresh Frozen Plasma: 5 Years of Experience with the West Penn Formula

Introduction: Administering fresh frozen plasma (FFP) for burn resuscitation following the West Penn Formula was first described by Du, et al. in 1991 and subsequently by O’Mara et al. in 2005. Since 2006, the O’Mara modification has been followed for the resuscitation of large burns (>40% TBSA or30% TBSA with concomitant inhalation injury) at our institution. This is a report of our initial 5 years’ experience with a comparison of our outcomes to those reported by Du and O’Mara. Methods: A retrospective charter view of burn admissions between February 1, 2005 and August 31, 2011, revealed 62 patients suffered large burns and received fluid resuscitation following the West Penn Formula. Results: Average TBSA was 52±18.9% (average full thickness 28.1±27.6%). Thirty-six (58%) suffered inhalation injury. Average FFP infusion was of 3.2±2.4 liters/24hrs. Urine output averaged 1.1±0.7cc/kg/hr. Average base deficit at 24 hours was1.6±6.1. Ten deaths occurred during the first 48 hours post burn all due to requests of family members to withdraw support. Conclusions: The West Penn Formula appears to be an effective method to resuscitate patients suffering burn shock secondary to major burns.
A 6-Membrane Protein Gene score for prognostic prediction of cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia in multiple cohorts

Background: Cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (CN-AML) is a large proportion of AMLs with diverse prognostic outcomes. Identifying membrane protein genes as prognostic factors to stratify CN-AML patients will be critical to improve their outcomes. Purpose: This study aims to identify prognostic factors to stratify CN-AML patients to choose better treatments and improve their outcomes. Methods: CN-AML data were from TCGA cohort (n = 79) and four GEO datasets. We identified independent prognostic genes by Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier methods, and constructed linear regression model using LASSO algorithm. The prediction error curve was calculated using R package “pec”. Results: Based on independent prognostic membrane genes, we constructed a regression model for CN-AML prognosis prediction: score = (0.0492 * CD52) - (0.0018 * CD96) + (0.0131 * EMP1) + (0.2058 * TSPAN2) + (0.0234 * STAB1) - (0.3658 * MBTPS1), which was named as MPG6 (6-Membrane Protein Gene) score. Tested in multiple CN-AML datasets, consistent results showed that CN-AML patients with high MPG6 score had poor survival, higher WBC count and shorter EFS. Comparing with other reported scoring models, the benchmark result of MPG6 achieved better association with survival in multiple cohorts. Moreover, by combining with other clinical indicators in CN-AML, MPG6 could improve the performance of survival prediction and serve as a robust prognostic factor. Conclusions: We identified the MPG6 score as a stable indicator with great potential for clinical application in risk stratification and outcome prediction in CN-AML.

Starch damage is starch which is damaged by mechanical treatment, such as milling process in flour production. The purpose of this review is to determine the importance of the amount of starch damage affected by the milling process in the physicochemical properties of flour. Starch damage in flour product is influenced by some factors, such as the milling time, methods, and the roller on the milling machine. Beside milling process, the starch modification is also cause damaged to starch, such as fermentation. The presence of starch damage is an important parameter to determine the physicochemical properties of flour. Starch damage in flour will affect the physicochemical properties, such as particle size, amylose content, thermal and pasting properties, retrogradation, microstructure of starch granule, etc. It is very important to pay attention to produce the food product that have a good physicochemical characteristics. The starch damage in flour has an important role in food processing technology, for example: bread, cake, and cookies product. Furthermore, starch damage also affects the shelf life of product that has correlation with retrogradation process.
Macroeconomic Fluctuations in Emerging Economies: An Unobserved Components Approach

We employ a multivariate correlated unobserved components model to investigate the interaction between the permanent and transitory movements in output for two groups of emerging economies: one group in Asia and the other in Latin America. Our empirical framework enables us to assess the relative importance of permanent versus transitory shocks in driving output growth rate correlations across countries, providing an alternative to dynamic factor models for analyzing international co-movements. Our results suggest that GDP in all the emerging economies have highly variable stochastic permanent components with innovations that are negatively correlated with their respective transitory movements. We also find that the Asian countries in our sample share a significant fraction of innovations to output whereas output disturbances are largely idiosyncratic for the Latin American countries. These results lead us to conclude that Asia may be a plausible candidate for a monetary union, whereas Latin American countries do not seem similar enough in terms of macroeconomic fluctuations to gain from sharing a common currency.
Application of the solution-diffusion model for the removal of atrazine using a nanofiltration membrane

The solution-diffusion model was used to predict the behaviour of four nanofiltration membranes, two were made of polyamide (NF-99 and NF-97) and the other two were made of polypiperazineamide (DL and DK), when used for the removal of atrazine from aqueous solutions. The mass transfer model applied is very simple and its linearization facilitates rapid calculation of the relevant parameters. The two main parameters, permeate concentration and volumetric permeate flux, are obtained from three different coefficients: water permeability, Aw, solute permeability, Bs, and osmotic pressure coefficients, W. Good agreement between the experimental and the predicted atrazine concentrations was obtained for the NF-99, DL and DK membranes when the concentration was low. However, only the NF-99 membrane provided accurate values for the two main parameters in the whole range of concentrations studied, which suggests that the solution-diffusion model can only be applied to this membrane.
A Survey of Text Document Clustering Methodologies based on Similarity Measure

— Text data mining is research technologies to mine valuable knowledge from massive collections of documents and to improve a system to offer information and to support in decision making. Clustering is an automatic wisdom methodology aimed to combine a set of objects which are similar to each other. Text clustering has turned into a challenging process in recent centuries because of the massive quantity of unstructured data is presented in several formations. In Text document clustering grouping of text documents arises based upon their similarity. There are many rapid and high-excellence document clustering algorithms available which play a main role in efficiently establishing the information. In this paper we are going to discuss various methodology of clustering which is based on the document similarity.
The Exact Controllability of the Molecular Graph Networks

In this paper, we mainly study the exact controllability of several types of extended-path molecular graph networks. Based on the construction of extended-path molecular graph networks with C3, C4, or K4, using the determinant operation of the matrix and the recursive method, the exact characteristic polynomial of these networks is deduced. According to the definition of minimum driver node number ND, the exact controllability of these networks is obtained. Moreover, we give the minimum driver node sets of partial small networks.
Perturbation Theory and Fast Mean-Reverting Stochastic Volatility

If you have already looked at my C.V. , you will have noticed that in June 2011 I will receive my PhD in physics. You may find it odd, then, when I say that my general research interests lie in the application of stochastic processes and probability theory to problems in mathematical finance. This mixture of physics and finance, however, is not as peculiar as it initially seems. Consider the following: Fischer Black of the famed Black-Scholes option-pricing framework [1], Jim Gatheral and Alan Lewis, recognized authorities on stochastic volatility models [8,10], and Vadim Linetsky, a pioneer in the use of spectral theory as a tool for option-pricing [12], all have degrees in physics. Furthermore, there are a number of mathematical techniques, which are commonly used in physics, that are particularly useful in finance. The application of two of these techniques – perturbation theory and spectral theory – to problems in finance has been the subject of my research to date. In particular, I have used these techniques to obtain the approximate price of a variety of options – both European and path-dependent – in a fast mean-reverting stochastic volatility setting.
Energy rehabilitation of buildings through phase change materials and ceramic ventilated façades

In recent years, phase change materials (PCMs) have gained major relevance for their ability to take advantage of indoor/outdoor air temperature differences to store energy. This characteristic of PCMs allows to transfer stored energy to periods of energy demand, thus achieving optimum conditions of comfort and notable energy savings. The present study compared the energy consumption of a traditional façade and a ventilated façade to which large format ceramic tiles covered with PCMs were applied. For this purpose, an office building in the city of Alicante was used as a case study. Salt hydrate PCMs were attached to the slabs, and air was allowed to circulate or not circulate through night and day dampers as passive conditioning, accumulating energy. The energy performance of the building was simulated using the Lider-Calener (HULC) energy certification tool in both scenarios. The building’s energy demand was calculated in its current state and with the ventilated façade with ceramic tiles and PCMs. An energy saving of 5% was obtained.
Diversity of ant assemblages (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in an urban environment in Cameroon during and after colonization of the area by Wasmannia auropunctata

Invasive species disrupt the organization and functioning of many ant communities. Little is known about ant assemblages formerly in areas invaded by the little fire ant. In this study, we surveyed the same areas and compared the ant communities there when an invasive species first colonized the areas and 10 years later, using the same methodology (quadrat and baiting). A total of 83,299 worker ants from 17 species or morphospecies, in 4 subfamilies and 10 genera were recorded in the two periods sampled. Seven ant species were found to co-occur with W. auropunctata while 12 species were collected in the same area 10 years later, with no W. auropunctata recorded in any of the traps. In the absence of W. auropunctata, the number and diversity of ant species increased and the ant communities were dominated by the African big-headed ant, Pheidole megacephala. Our findings indicate that the disappearance of W. auropunctata is probably related to population increases in P. megacephala associated with dramatic changes in landscape. Further studies at other invaded locations should be carried out in order to reveal the generality of these patterns throughout this country.
THE INFLUENCE OF ACETYLATION ON THE COLOUR AND PHOTOSTABILITY OF COMMON HORNBEAM WOOD (Carpinus betulus L.)

The aim of our research was to study the effect of acetylation and boiled linseed oil-coating on the photodegradation of common hornbeam wood (Carpinus betulus L.). For this study, a 200-hour-long mercury vapour lamp irradiation test was carried out. The tests were done on 4 different types of wood materials: native hornbeam, acetylated hornbeam, boiled linseed oil-coated hornbeam and boiled linseed oil-coated, acetylated hornbeam samples. According to the results, the change of colour coordinates and the colour difference compared to the original colour was determined as well as conclusions were drawn on the photodegradation process according to the Fourier Transform Infrared spectra.
Status of the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at FAIR

In order to make substantial progress beyond existing data and currently running experiments the CBM experiment is designed to be operated at extremely high reaction rates of up to 10 MHz. This unprecedented rate capability allows to perform unique systematic measurements of multi-differential observables and at the same time the measurement of rare diagnostic probes. Figure 1 depicts a comparison of the interaction rates of existing and future heavy-ion experiments as function of collision energy.
Total phenolic and flavonoid contents of Anacyclus pyrethrum Link plant extracts and their Antioxidant activity

In this study, Anacyclus pyrethrm Link (roots) is a medicinal plant from the Asteraceae family, endemic to Morocco and is widely used in traditional medicine; was investigated for their total phenolics, flavonoids contents and antioxidant activities. The quantitative estimation of total flavonoids and phenols by the colorimetric method showed that the extracts were prepared by fractionation of the crude hydromethanolic extract (ethyl acetate and n-butanol). The phenol content of various extracts, estimated by the Folin-Ciocalteu method, was between 1,44 and 12,82 mg EAG / g extract of A. pyrethrum. Moreover, it is clear that ethyl acetate was the richest fraction of total phenols in A. pyrethrum (12,82 mg EAG / g extract). The determination of flavonoids by the AlCl3 method also revealed that the fraction of ethyl acetate had the highest content (46,82 mg EQ / g of extract). In addition, we studied the antioxidant activity of the phenolic extracts by the capacity of free radical trapping DPPH•. The results reported that the scavenger power of phenolic extracts compared to that of the standard antioxidant, ascorbic acid (IC50 = 0,051 mg / ml), allowed us to deduce that the antioxidant power of all extracts tested by A. pyrethrum studied had an important antioxidant power. The IC50 values were classified in the following order of antioxidant potency: ethyl acetate fraction (0,144 mg / ml) > hydromethanolic extract (0,152 mg / ml) > butanolic extract (0,155 mg / ml). The results indicated that the plants tested may be potential sources for isolation of natural antioxidant compounds.

Animal-mediated interactions for pollination in saltmarsh communities

Among the wide variety of biotic interactions, animal-mediated pollination plays a crucial role in the maintenance of the integrity of plant communities. Thus, there is increasing concern about the possible effects that the growing loss of pollinators (i.e., pollinator crisis phenomenon) might have on plant communities. Recent studies revealed that pollination interactions often occur at the landscape scale, with plant species of different communities interacting through pollinator sharing. Saltmarshes provide a suitable example of plant communities spatially co-occurring at the landscape scale, with the micro-topography determining a precise zonation of ecologically distinct halophytic communities. However, little is still known about pollination interactions in saltmarshes. The aim of the present study was to assess which halophytic community contribute best to pollinator species richness in saltmarshes and whether plant species of different halophytic communities interact through pollinator sharing. To this aim we placed 20 permanent plots per plant community and monitored pollination interactions between plants and pollinators once a month during the overall flowering season. Our results revealed that animal-mediated pollination occurred in only two halophytic communities, with three species depending on animals for their pollination. When comparing halophytic communities in terms of richness of pollinator species, the vegetation of sandbanks, mudflats and sandflats emerged as the richest one. Animal-pollinated species of saltmarshes only partially shared pollinator species, revealing an overall low exchange of pollinators between different halophytic communities. In conclusion, the high complementarity in the spectrum of pollinators showed by animal-pollinated species of different halophytic communities makes all halophytic communities hosting animal-pollinated species important for the conservation of pollinators.
