Semantic and syntactic patterns of multiword names: A cross-language study

Named entities (NEs) constitute a great challenge for computational linguistics and one of the major research topics during the last decade. They can be divided in categories describing people, location, time, organization and others. In this paper we will restrict our discussion to proper names that belong to three main classes: personal, location and organization names, and that can be either single-word nouns or multiword expressions. First, we are going to define common (language-independent) semantic patterns for proper names and then we will present the corresponding syntactic patterns in English, Bulgarian, French, Greek, and Serbian. We will compare these patterns regarding grammatical categories of dependent constituents, definiteness, distribution of clitics, word order and various alternations. Our ultimate goal is to build a universal framework for Named Entity Recognition (NER).
On the role of the stratiform cloud scheme in the inter‐model spread of cloud feedback

This study explores the role of the stratiform cloud scheme in the inter‐model spread of cloud feedback. Six diagnostic cloud schemes used in various CMIP (Coupled Model Intercomparison Experiment] climate models are implemented (at low and midlevels) into two testbed climate models, and the impacts on cloud feedback are investigated. Results suggest that the choice of stratiform cloud scheme may contribute up to roughly half of the intermodel spread of cloud radiative responses in stratocumulus (Sc) regions, and may determine or favor a given sign of the feedback there. Cloud schemes assuming a probability density function for total water content consistently predict a positive feedback in Sc regions in our experiments. A large negative feedback in Sc regions is obtained only with schemes that consider variables other than relative humidity (e.g., stability). The stratiform cloud scheme also significantly affects cloud feedback at the scale of the tropics and at global scale. Results are slightly less consistent for tropical means, likely indicating coupling with other boundary layer processes such as convective mixing.
Differential Performance in Musical Chord and Grammaticality Judgement Tasks in Post-stroke Aphasia

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the differential performance on musical chord and grammaticality judgement tasks in post-stroke aphasia. The accuracy of musical chord judgement task and grammaticality judgement tasks were analyzed, and the correlation between grammaticality judgement task and the severity of aphasia was examined. Methods: Fourteen individuals with aphasia and fifteen adults without aphasia participated in the study. The subject listened to a presented voice and was asked to determine whether the musical chord connection was natural and whether there was a grammatical error in the sentence. Results: First, People With Aphasia (PWA) showed significantly lower accuracy in the grammaticality judgement task compared to adults without aphasia. Second, PWA showed significantly lower accuracy in the musical chord judgement task compared to adults without aphasia. Third, the accuracy of the grammaticality judgement task was the most predictable variable of the severity of aphasia by 37.9%. Conclusion: PWA showed significantly lower accuracy in musical chord and grammaticality judgement tasks compared with normal adults, suggesting that PWA have difficulties in performing musical and grammatical tasks. Since damage to the brain structures affects music and language ability, PWA showed poorer performance on both musical chord and grammaticality judgement tasks. Moreover, grammaticality in Korean has an important role in this task. Thus, producing various treatment protocols of grammar comprehension is important because grammaticality is an important linguistic feature in comprehending sentences in Korean.

Direct laser writing of vertical junctions in graphene oxide films for broad spectral position-sensitive detectors

Abstract Heterostructures with built-in electric fields are crucial for charge separation and lateral photovoltaic effect in current position-sensitive detectors (PSDs), which have to be produced by combining semiconductors with metal or other semiconductors to form various vertical junctions (e.g. Schottky junctions) via complicated and high-cost manufacture processes. In the present work, it was found that vertical junctions can be directly written and patterned inside graphene oxide (GO) films with gradient C/O ratios by laser scribing due to the optical filter effect of the films and the formation of reduced GO (rGO) layers. Such junctions were verified to show the capability for high-precision position sensing on the micrometer scale, owing to the lateral photovoltaic effect. These self-powered laser-scribed PSDs can exhibit a small nonlinearity of <5.4%, which is far less than the acceptable level of 15%. A fast response time of about 1 ms can be obtained under a zero bias voltage, which is the fastest speed among the photodetectors based on pure rGO. Electron lateral diffusion in the upper layers of the laser-scribed devices was found to play a main role. These suggest that laser-scribed vertical junctions inside rGO are promising for high-precision displacement sensing, with the capability of low cost, flexibility, and passive operation mode.
A Flexible Multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization Approach using Random Scalarizations

Many real world applications can be framed as multi-objective optimization problems, where we wish to simultaneously optimize for multiple criteria. Bayesian optimization techniques for the multi-objective setting are pertinent when the evaluation of the functions in question are expensive. Traditional methods for multi-objective optimization, both Bayesian and otherwise, are aimed at recovering the Pareto front of these objectives. However, we argue that recovering the entire Pareto front may not be aligned with our goals in practice. For example, while a practitioner might desire to identify Pareto optimal points, she may wish to focus only on a particular region of the Pareto front due to external considerations. In this work we propose an approach based on random scalarizations of the objectives. We demonstrate that our approach can focus its sampling on certain regions of the Pareto front while being flexible enough to sample from the entire Pareto front if required. Furthermore, our approach is less computationally demanding compared to other existing approaches. In this paper, we also analyse a notion of regret in the multi-objective setting and obtain sublinear regret bounds. We compare the proposed approach to other state-of-the-art approaches on both synthetic and real-life experiments. The results demonstrate superior performance of our proposed algorithm in terms of flexibility, scalability and regret.
Modeling of Absorption by Heavy Minor Species for the Hot Jupiter HD 209458b

The absorption of stellar radiation observed by HD 209458b in the resonant lines of O i and C ii has not yet been satisfactorily explained. We apply a 2D hydrodynamic multi-fluid model that self-consistently describes the expanding planetary wind, driven by stellar XUV radiation and influenced by tidal forces and the surrounding stellar wind. According to this model, HD 209458b has a hydrogen-dominated plasmasphere, expanding beyond the Roche lobe, in the form of two supersonic streams that propagate toward and away from the star. The species heavier than hydrogen and helium are dragged in the escaping material streams and accelerated up to 50 km s−1. Our simulations show that, assuming solar abundances, O i and C ii produce absorption due to the Doppler resonance mechanism at the level of 6%–10%, which is consistent with the observations. Most of this absorption takes place in the streams. The transit depth in the O i and C ii lines is unaffected by the stellar wind, unless it is strong enough to form a compact bowshock around the planet and able to redirect all the escaping material to the tail. In this case, the absorption profile becomes asymmetric due to the prominent blueshifted attenuation. Thus, the spectroscopic measurements enable probing of the planetary wind character, as well as the strength of the stellar wind. The computed absorption at wavelengths of the Si iii, Mg i, and Mg ii lines at solar abundances appears to be much stronger, compared to the observations. This possibly indicates that Si and Mg may be under-abundant in the upper atmosphere of HD 209458b.
Shadowing Behavior May Be Associated with an Inability to Recognize the External World: A Case Report of Shadowing in a Patient with Posterior Cortical Atrophy

Although shadowing behavior— when one individual closely follows another— is routinely documented among patients with dementia, its mechanisms have yet to be elucidated. In particular, there have been no detailed descriptions of patients with shadowing behavior. To propose its potential backgrounds, we describe a patient with posterior cortical atrophy who exhibited prominent shadowing behavior. He also experienced severe difficulties recognizing external stimuli, including visuospatial dysfunction, several types of agnosia, difficulties in verbal comprehension, disorientation, and its associated depression. This shadowing behavior may be adaptive relative to his extreme difficulty with recognizing the world around him.
Simulation and Experimental Study on the Responses of Subcellular Structures in Tumor Cells Induced by 5 ns Pulsed Electric Fields

In order to explore the bioelectric effect of 5 ns pulsed electric fields on tumor cells, a spherical single-cell multiphysics model was first established based on the finite element simulation platform. In consideration of the dielectric relaxation of the biological plasma membrane under the high-frequency electric fields, the electroporation and Maxwell stress tensors on the cell membrane and nuclear envelope were analyzed; secondly, taking MDA-MB-231 cells as the research object, combined with fluorescent probe technology, the state change and fluorescence dissipation of its subcellular structure exposed to pulse fields were studied. The results showed that 5 ns pulsed electric fields directly acted inside the cell, causing an electroporation effect and tensile stress on the nuclear envelope, destroying the integrity and order of the cytoskeleton, and damaging the functions of subcellular structures including endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, etc. This study provides theoretical and experimental evidence for the research and application of a high-voltage short pulse in the field of biomedical engineering.
A Study to Assess Knowledge, Attitude, and Perception of Dental Practitioners on Minimally Invasive Dentistry Concepts

Background: Minimally invasive dentistry (MID) includes caries detection using caries risk assessment (CRA), early localization of nascent carious sores including necessary and voluntary avoidance, and remineralization of demineralized veneer and dentin when diagnosed early for these reasons. Although the dentistry curriculum prioritizes the benefits of MID in tooth protection, this research is seldom included in classroom instruction. Aim: The purpose of this research was to gauge the level of understanding that dental professionals have about MID ideas. Methods: An online questionnaire measuring MID knowledge and application was used to compile the data. The Chi-square tests were run for statistical analysis in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Results: Just 42.2% of the dentists who replied had MID training during their undergraduate or internship years, and the majority of that training came via lectures (45.2%). The majority (almost 81%) of respondents believed that CRA should be performed on all patients. Differences in knowledge and experience with atraumatic restorative therapy and the sandwich approach for treating caries in permanent teeth and high caries risk children were shown to be statistically significant (P 0.05). Conclusion: Dentists know about the benefits of MID, but their patients are not reaping those benefits since so many dentists still use the old methods of treating complete caries.
Efficacy of interpersonal psychotherapy in mainland China: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Objective Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is an evidence-based therapy. There have been increasing demand and training opportunities of IPT in China. Reviewing current evidence on its use in Chinese patients can help us understand the applicability of IPT in China and identify knowledge gaps to encourage and better future research in this field. Method We did a comprehensive search of three major electronic databases: PubMed (English), Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and WanFang Data (Chinese). We examined overall study design, outcome measures, data analyses and other parameters. We only selected articles of Randomized Clinical Trials (RCT) for this review. All study findings were grouped and summarized per psychiatric diagnoses. The meta-analysis and forest plots were performed whereas studies could be combined. Results After a full text review of 132 articles, 40 were selected for the final review. Comparing with control groups, evidences supported the efficacy of IPT in Chinese patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Postpartum depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety Disorder, Post Stress Traumatic Disorder (PTSD), and Post-psychotic Depression. It was also beneficial to college students and Chinese first-time mothers. Meta-analysis using a random-effects model consistently yielded significant score differences between the IPT and control groups (p < 0.0001) on MDD. Conclusion This systematic review has identified the current best evidence for IPT efficacy in Chinese population. The findings support IPT as an effective treatment in Chinese with certain psychiatric conditions, consistent with those from many other studies throughout the world.
A Potential Effect of Circadian Rhythm in the Delivery/Therapeutic Performance of Paclitaxel–Dendrimer Nanosystems

The circadian clock controls behavior and physiology. Presently, there is clear evidence of a connection between this timing system and cancer development/progression. Moreover, circadian rhythm consideration in the therapeutic action of anticancer drugs can enhance the effectiveness of cancer therapy. Nanosized drug delivery systems (DDS) have been demonstrated to be suitable engineered platforms for drug targeted/sustained release. The investigation of the chronobiology-nanotechnology relationship, i.e., timing DDS performance according to a patient’s circadian rhythm, may greatly improve cancer clinical outcomes. In the present work, we synthesized nanosystems based on an octa-arginine (R8)-modified poly(amidoamine) dendrimer conjugated with the anticancer drug paclitaxel (PTX), G4-PTX-R8, and its physicochemical properties were revealed to be appropriate for in vitro delivery. The influence of the circadian rhythm on its cellular internalization efficiency and potential therapeutic effect on human cervical cancer cells (HeLa) was studied. Cell-internalized PTX and caspase activity, as a measure of induced apoptosis, were monitored for six time points. Higher levels of PTX and caspase-3/9 were detected at T8, suggesting that the internalization of G4-PTX-R8 into HeLa cells and apoptosis are time-specific/-regulated phenomena. For a deeper understanding, the clock protein Bmal1—the main regulator of rhythmic activity, was silenced by Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) technology. Bmal1 silencing was revealed to have an impact on both PTX release and caspase activity, evidencing a potential role for circadian rhythm on drug delivery/therapeutic effect mediated by G4-PTX-R8.
Flexible Testbed at 300 GHz for Performance Assessment of 1-D and 2-D Antenna Arrays for MIMO Radar Applications

A reference measurement setup for the deployment and test of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) arrays is essential when a new array is optimized according to specific application requirements. For such a reason, in this article, a testbed for the performance assessment of 1-D and 2-D MIMO arrays at 300 GHz for radar applications is proposed. The system is based on monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) to dielectric waveguide (DWG) transitions, which makes the array element positions independent of the positions of the MMICs on the hardware back-end. The antenna arrays to be tested are fed through DWGs, which are extremely mechanically flexible and easy to reconnect to different antenna arrays. The effectiveness of the proposed testbed is demonstrated by the test of three different antenna arrays made of three transmitters and two receivers. One 1-D MIMO array and two 2-D MIMO arrays are designed for this purpose. The antenna positions are optimized through a genetic algorithm based on the analysis of the ambiguity function associated with the array. This optimization shows that even with a reduced number of array elements, it is possible to perform direction of arrival (DoA) estimation on both azimuth and elevation angles at 300 GHz. The optimized antenna arrays are then tested through the proposed system. An analysis of the measured ambiguity functions associated with the arrays shows a strong agreement with the simulated ones and demonstrates the functionality of the system.

Efficient Mathematical Procedural Model for Brain Signal Improvement from Human Brain Sensor Activities

Human brain signals obtained by the human brain sensor electrodes measure the cerebral activities on the human brain. The main aim of our research is to improve the human brain activities based on the human brain signal. The entire procedure contains three steps. The first step is to acquire the brain signal, then develop this brain signal with the proposed method and finally improve the human brain activities with this modified brain signal. The entire procedure will proceed in a proposed Neuroheadset device embedded with necessary sensors using the non-invasive technique. This device will help to acquire the brain signal, modify this signal and improve the brain activities with this modified brain signal. In this research, we illustrated the first two steps like signal acquisition and signal modification. In the experiment, we used Electroencephalogram as an efficient non-invasive signal acquisition technique for acquiring the brain signal and also introduced a proposed method to modify this signal. This method helped to improve the human brain signal using the required times of the iteration process. In the experiment level, several iteration processes have been done to get above 90% improvement rate of the brainwaves. In this research, the improved signal has been considered based on the generated brain signal in various aspects like human intelligence, memory and also the capability of better feelings.
The bulk mineralogy, elemental composition, and water content of the Winchcombe CM chondrite fall

– On the microscale, the Winchcombe CM carbonaceous chondrite contains a number of lithological units with a variety of degrees of aqueous alteration. However, an understanding of the average hydration state is useful when comparing to other meteorites and remote observations of airless bodies. We report correlated bulk analyses on multiple subsamples of the Winchcombe meteorite, determining an average phyllosilicate fraction petrologic type of 1.2 and an average water content of 11.9 wt%. We show the elemental composition and distribution of iron and iron oxidation state are consistent with measurements from other CM chondrites; however, Winchcombe shows a low Hg concentration of 58.1 (cid:1) 0.5 ng g (cid:3) 1 . We demonstrate that infrared reﬂectance spectra of Winchcombe are consistent with its bulk modal mineralogy, and comparable to other CM chondrites with similar average petrologic types. Finally, we also evaluate whether spectral parameters can estimate H/Si ratios and water abundances, ﬁnding generally spectral parameters underestimate water abundance compared to measured values
Textile electronics for wearable applications

Textile electronics have become an indispensable part of wearable applications because of their large flexibility, light-weight, comfort and electronic functionality upon the merge of textiles and microelectronics. As a result, the fabrication of functional fibrous materials and the integration of textile electronic devices have attracted increasing interest in the wearable electronic community. Challenges are encountered in the development of textile electronics in a way that is electrically reliable and durable, without compromising on the deformability and comfort of a garment, including processing multiple materials with great mismatches in mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties and assembling various structures with the disparity in dimensional scales and surface roughness. Equal challenges lie in high-quality and cost-effective processes facilitated by high-level digital technology enabled design and manufacturing methods. This work reviews the manufacturing of textile-shaped electronics via the processing of functional fibrous materials from the perspective of hierarchical architectures, and discusses the heterogeneous integration of microelectronics into normal textiles upon the fabric circuit board and adapted electrical connections, broadly covering both conventional and advanced textile electronic production processes. We summarize the applications and obstacles of textile electronics explored so far in sensors, actuators, thermal management, energy fields, and displays. Finally, the main conclusions and outlook are provided while the remaining challenges of the fabrication and application of textile electronics are emphasized.
