How Nature Computes: Reconciliation with Standard Model (Part 1)

Physicists reduce data, discover fundamentals and write computer models but to understand nature we must understand how it produces itself. Many believe that everything consists of wave functions. Are they producing nature similar to the way computers use information to produce a result? This paper explores how the neutron and proton compute information about energy. The Standard model is accepted as a summary of nature’s particles and fields but the purpose of its variations need explanation. I believe the neutron/proton models are the source of nature’s laws and their Schrodinger based wave functions produce quantum entities underlying the Standard model’s color forces and quarks. Sub-components of neutron/proton field wave functions define dimensions, space, time, gravity and other properties. The possibility that algorithms in the wave functions allow nature to produce other features was examined. For example, can they compute fusion binding energy or expansion of the universe? Part 1 of this two-part article includes: Introduction; Probability one and energy zero; and Reconciliation of Standard model and Neutron/Proton model.
Mediação de informações e competências no setor de referências de bibliotecas universitárias

It presents the results of research carried out with librarians who work in the reference sector of university libraries. The objective was to develop information skills in these professionals through a formative action, in order to provide the establishment of information mediator skills in their work activities. The methodological assumptions used were: qualitative approach, participant research method and non participant observation technique. The data were collected through interview scripts, prospecting forms and field diary, and treated by the content analysis technique with category establishment. The results demonstrate that the training given to the research participants contributed to the rethinking and reflection on the actions, knowledge, skills and attitudes that involve the activities of the referral service. It is worth mentioning that the exchange of experiences among librarians, facilitated by the training, as well as the exposure and discussion of theoretical knowledge of the area and of the reference sector, provided a better understanding of the issues inherent to this area, as well as the strengthening of the praxis and the performance of the librarian in order to deepen their relationship with the user in order to better serve him. It is concluded that it is imperative to have professionals with technical and behavioral skills that stimulate the user to return and to continue in the search and production of knowledge.
Why Are Related Rights the Best Mechanism?

As observed in Chap. 6 , of the available mechanisms for the protection of digitised versions of rare documents, copyright law provides an established legal framework aimed at balancing the interests of copyright owners and users of copyright protected content. However, as demonstrated in Chap. 7 , a digitised version would not fulfil the required standard of originality to qualify for copyright protection within the existing EU law framework. Thus, it is necessary to find a suitable alternative mechanism for the regulation of digitised versions that would be able to achieve an effective balance between the competing interests of users and producers. It is argued that the best strategy would be to bring the regulation of digitised versions under the related rights framework that exists within EU law.

Feature Set Processing using Multi-Objective Optimization Algorithm to Improve Content-based Image Retrieval System

We propose a framework of genetic algorithms to search for Pareto optimal solutions (i.e., non-dominated solutions) of multi-objective optimisation problems. Our approach differs from single-objective genetic algorithms in its selection procedure and elite presence strategy. The selection procedure in our genetic algorithms selects individuals for a crossover operation based on a sum of multiple objective functions. The characteristic feature of the selection procedure is that the weights attached to the multiple objective functions are not constant but randomly specified for each selection. This might most likely decry the classification accuracy and increase noise once it extracts type content type pictures. To avoid these drawbacks, a brand new technique is planned to induce retrieval performance. The implementation results show the effectiveness of projected optimisation technique in retrieving all pictures. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed technique is evaluated by comparing with the other optimised CBIR methods.

Estimation of Range of Natural Variations Contemplating Time Interval in Handwritten Scripts

Handwritten scripts contemplates a great difference in range of natural variations every time an individual executes the process of writing. The purpose of the present study is to focus on the attempt made to extract out natural variations with time interval. The task involved collection of 540 samples (60 samples from each age group-30 samples each from males & females) from 9 different age groups, that is two handwriting samples in present handwriting (with an interval of 5–10 minutes between the two handwritings) with content same as that of previous written script (old handwriting) which is also taken as a sample for comparative study with time interval ranged from 2–33 years between present and old handwriting. It has been found that connectivity between letters, alignment and spacing are highly significant characteristic along with those which remain unaffected and intact by showing consistency in skill, tremors and speed in due course of age and time. The findings of the present study will assist in the cases which are lacking in contemporary handwritings and can be undertaken with ease by taking into account the handwriting characteristics which are prone to variations.
Event-Driven Models.

In Reinforcement Learning we look for meaning in the flow of input/output information. If we do not find meaning, the information flow is not more than noise to us. Before we are able to find meaning, we should first learn how to discover and identify objects. What is an object? In this article we will demonstrate that an object is an event-driven model. These models are a generalization of action-driven models. In Markov Decision Process we have an action-driven model which changes its state at each step. The advantage of event-driven models is their greater sustainability as they change their states only upon the occurrence of particular events. These events may occur very rarely, therefore the state of the event-driven model is much more predictable.

Contextually Propagated Term Weights for Document Representation

Word embeddings predict a word from its neighbours by learning small, dense embedding vectors. In practice, this prediction corresponds to a semantic score given to the predicted word (or term weight). We present a novel model that, given a target word, redistributes part of that word's weight (that has been computed with word embeddings) across words occurring in similar contexts as the target word. Thus, our model aims to simulate how semantic meaning is shared by words occurring in similar contexts, which is incorporated into bag-of-words document representations. Experimental evaluation in an unsupervised setting against 8 state of the art baselines shows that our model yields the best micro and macro F1 scores across datasets of increasing difficulty.

Timed Signatures and Zero-Knowledge Proofs -Timestamping in the Blockchain Era-.

Timestamping is an important cryptographic primitive with numerous applications. The availability of a decentralized blockchain such as that offered by the Bitcoin protocol offers new possibilities to realise timestamping services. Even though there are blockchain-based timestamping proposals, they are not formally defined and proved in a universally composable (UC) setting. In this work, we put forth the first formal treatment of timestamping cryptographic primitives in the UC framework with respect to a global clock. We propose timed versions of primitives commonly used for authenticating information, such as digital signatures, non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs, and signatures of knowledge. We show how they can be UC-securely constructed by a protocol that makes ideal (blackbox) access to a transaction ledger. Our definitions introduce a fine-grained treatment of the different timestamping guarantees, namely security against postdating and backdating attacks; our results treat each of these cases separately and in combination, and shed light on the assumptions that they rely on. Our constructions rely on a relaxation of an ideal beacon functionality, which we construct UC-securely. Given many potential use cases of such a beacon in cryptographic protocols, this result is of independent interest.
Students Instrumental Motivation: An Investigating toward English Learning of Students in Islamic Higher Education

This study attempts to explore the profile of instrumental motivation of Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Raden Intan Lampung students; comparing instrumental motivation of students of English and non-English major. The design of this research is descriptive qualitative. The survey is conducted to 145 students of English major and 784 students of non-English major as a sample. Questionnaire and interview were employed to collect the data. Research result reveals that students of English major have higher instrumental motivation compared to the students of non-English major, especially related to their future expected job. Interestingly, this study found that differences in motivation between students of English and non-English major arise due to the students' differences orientation on their interest in English. Expecting to acquire a job requiring them to use English, students of English major were likely to possess a higher interest in learning the language. Conversely, students of non-English major do not think that they need English for their prospective job. Therefore, the students of non-English major tend to think that English doesn't support their future careers too much. The findings of this study indicate that for many UIN Raden Intan Lampung students, English is not considered as a useful instrument for their academic activities. The student perspective of English is still segmented.
Stochastic Blockmodeling for the Analysis of Big Data

The aim of this paper is to consider the stochastic blockmodel to obtain clusters of units as regards patterns of similar relations; moreover we want to analyze the relations between clusters. Blockmodeling is a technique usually applied in social network analysis focussing on the relations between “actors” i.e. units. In our time people and devices constantly generate data. The network is generating location and other data that keeps services running and ready to use in every moment. This rapid development in the availability and access to data has induced the need for better analysis techniques to understand the various phenomena. Blockmodeling techniques and Clustering algorithms, can be used for this aim. In this paper application regards the Web.
Local Librarians—Approaches for Context-Based Web Search

In this chapter, various approaches, methods and tools developed by the author to improve the usage of current web search engines and the search for text documents on mobile devices will be presented. These tools are regarded as ‘local librarians’ as they either solely work on the user’s local computer/mobile device or make use of locally displayed web contents, have acces to certain user documents (which the user granted the tools access to), observe the user when interacting with them and generate query and result suggestions and refinements.

The prevalence of Cybercrime the World over threatens to destroy the very fabric of peace. From financial fraud to theft identity, the ways in which this act continue to evolve and penetrate the most secure of digital entities calls for worry.A more disturbing trend is the perception of Nigerians being the purveyor of such acts. This study therefore seeks to find out what young Nigerians actually know about cybercrimes in order to gain an insight into what actually drives it and if possible, to discourage such acts from a tender age.Results show the perception of the World is not unfounded and recommendations that may go a long way in making this venture unattractive is highlighted.
Spatio-Temporal Noise Filtering using Convolutional Neural Networks with a Realistic Noise Model under Low-Light Conditions

Convolutional neural networks have in recent years been successfully employed for various image processing tasks, such as filtering noise. There are however relatively few published attempts for processing video in this way. Image processing methods on single images can be applied frame by frame, but often fail to consider continuity and flow between frames. In this master's thesis we constructed several fully convolutional neural network models, trained to filter noise spatially as well as temporally. We present the differences between these models and compare the performance of each of them with a noise filter from a state-of-the-art camera, as well as with a solely spatial filter. Our data was created by adding noise to clean videos according to a noise model which realistically simulates noise from camera sensors under low-light conditions. On a frame by frame basis, our best model outperforms the state-of-the-art camera in most situations. Despite still having minor struggles with continuity in video, clear improvement can also be seen in comparison with only spatial noise filtering. (Less)
현대중국어 방향보어와 ‘了’의 관계 고찰

Despite an obvious morphological difference between ‘Directional Verb Complement(DVC)’ and ‘DVC+Le(了),’ previous studies didn’t verify the difference clearly, simply concluding DVC alone can present results of an event regardless of ‘Le.’ In the process that the speaker delivers an actual motion event, however, the speaker can use a morphologically different syntax depending on which situational time he or she focuses on during the speech. As such, this paper attempted to investigate how ‘DVC’ and ‘DVC+Le’ are morphologically different from each other.First of all, it examined ‘directional’ of ‘DVC’ and ‘resultative’ of ‘Le’ and found that the directional corresponds to the ＜path＞ of a motion event, and ‘Le’ to Phase Verb Compliment(PVC) ‘Le3.’Also, based on Bondarko’s suggestion that the speaker selects ‘localization of the situation time’ as well as ‘non-localization of the situation time’ before making a speech, it investigated the structure of ‘DVC’ and ‘DVC+Le.’ As a result, it was found that ‘non-localization of the situation time’ is not applied to ‘DVC’ and ‘DVC+Le’ as it is a way of delivering the speaker’s own interpretation and information, rather than in the observer’s perspective. It is because ‘DVC’ and ‘DVC+Le’ are adopted when the speaker witnesses a motion event as an observer and tries to describe it in his or her own term.Next, when localizing the situational time, ‘DVC’ was close to ‘durative’ since it is a realistic and detailed expression of how a motion event takes place and continues. Meanwhile, in the same setting, ‘DVC+Le’ was close to ‘perfective’ as the speaker not only describes the results of a motion event, but also implies the results continue at the time of the speech.
