description: The traditional offline approaches are no longer sufficient for building modern recommender systems in domains such as online news services, mainly due to the high dynamics of environment changes and necessity to operate on a large scale with high data sparsity. The ability to balance exploration with exploitation makes the multi-armed bandits an efficient alternative to the conventional methods, and a robust user segmentation plays a crucial role in providing the context for such online recommendation algorithms. In this work, we present an unsupervised and trend-responsive method for segmenting users according to their semantic interests, which has been integrated with a real-world system for large-scale news recommendations. The results of an online A/B test show significant improvements compared to a global-optimization algorithm on several services with different characteristics. Based on the experimental results as well as the exploration of segments descriptions and trend dynamics, we propose extensions to this approach that address particular real-world challenges for different use-cases. Moreover, we describe a method of generating traceable publishing insights facilitating the creation of content that serves the diversity of all users needs.

description: This note describes a theoretical study of Wbb and Wjj final states at the Tevatron using the NLO program MCFM. We extensively study the effect of NLO corrections with respect to variations of input parameters such as the minimum jet p_T and the choice of renormalization and factorization scales. In particular, we examine possible implications for the Method 2 QCD background subtraction technique for tt production.

description: We take a sum $C_1+r C_2,\ r\in\mathbb Q$ of a line $C_1$ and a complete intersection curve $C_2$ of type $(3,3)$ inside a smooth surface of degree $8$ and with $C_1\cap C_2=\emptyset$. We gather evidences to the fact that for all except a finite number of $r$, the Noether-Lefschetz loci attached to the cohomology classes of $C_1+ r C_2$ are distinct $31$ codimensional subvarieties intersecting each other in a $32$ codimensional subvariety of the ambient space. The maximum codimension for components of the Noether-Lefschetz locus in this case is $35$, and hence, we provide a conjectural description of a counterexample to a conjecture of J. Harris. The methods used in this paper also produce in a rigorous way an infinite number of general components passing through the point representing the Fermat surface of degree $\leq 9$, and many non-reduced components for such degrees.

description: Task T3.3 aims to develop a highly precise tissue compression actuator (TCA), such as an array of air cuffs, necessary for investigating vein compressibility using a wearable ultrasound device (WUD) to be worn on the thigh. The TCA will also be an essential component of the device to be worn on the calf, which utilizes reflected light and bioimpedance plethysmography (RL-BIA-PG) to close the veins while still allowing the arterial blood to flow. Two feedback loops will control the TCA component: a) local pressure sensor measuring the cuff’s pressure, and b) external ultrasound imager or RL-BIA-PG. The task involves selecting the appropriate air cuffs and pumps, developing related electronics, algorithms, and embedded software, while considering crucial factors such as precise control, comfortable silent operation, and fast response. Various compression methods will be explored, including piezoelectric micro-platforms that enable noiseless operation to satisfy the primary requirements. The microelectronics and sensor experts KTU will lead the development of the actuator in this task. VERMON and FRAUNHOFER will participate to ensure integration of the actuator with the transducers developed by them, and TELEMED will participate to ensure integration of the actuator control with the transducer control.

description: Within the framework of the coplanar binary geometry where it is justified to use plane wave solutions for the study of the $(e,2e)$ reaction and in the presence of a circularly polarized laser field, we introduce as a first step the DVRPWBA1 (Dirac-Volkov Plane Wave Born Approximation1) where we take into account only the relativistic dressing of the incident and scattered electrons. Then, we introduce the DVRPWBA2 (Dirac-Volkov Plane Wave Born Approximation2) where we take totally into account the relativistic dressing of the incident, scattered and ejected electrons. We then compare the corresponding triple differential cross sections for laser-assisted ionization of atomic hydrogen by electron impact both for the non relativistic and the relativistic regime.

description: We compute the annulus diagram corresponding to the interaction of a fractional D3 brane with a gauge field on its world-volume and a stack of N fractional D3 branes on the orbifolds C^2 /Z_2 and C^3/Z_2 x Z_2. We show that its logarithmic divergence can be equivalently understood as due either to massless open string states circulating in the loop or to massless closed string states exchanged between two boundary states. This follows from the fact that, under open/closed string duality, massless states in the open and closed string channels are matched into each other without mixing with massive states. This explains why the perturbative properties of many gauge theories living on the worldvolume of less supersymmetric and nonconformal branes have been recently obtained from their corresponding supergravity solution.

description: Solid polymer electrolytes for lithium batteries promise improvements in safety and energy density if their conductivity can be increased. Nanostructured block copolymer electrolytes specifically have the potential to provide both good ionic conductivity and good mechanical properties. This study shows that the previously neglected nanoscale composition of the polymer electrolyte close to the electrode surface has an important effect on impedance measurements, despite its negligible extent compared to the bulk electrolyte. Using standard stainless steel blocking electrodes, the impedance of lithium salt-doped poly(isoprene-b-styrene-b-ethylene oxide) (ISO) exhibited a marked decrease upon thermal processing of the electrolyte. In contrast, covering the electrode surface with a low molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) brush resulted in higher and more reproducible conductivity values, which were insensitive to the thermal history of the device. A qualitative model of this effect is based on the hypothesis that ISO surface reconstruction at the different electrode surfaces leads to a change in the electrostatic double layer, affecting electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. As a main result, PEO-brush modification of electrode surfaces is beneficial for the robust electrolyte performance of PEO-containing block-copolymers and may be crucial for their accurate characterization and use in Li-ion batteries.

description: O capital social insere as relações sociais na agenda do desenvolvimento, estabelece ligações entre as relações sociais e os resultados econômicos, auxilia os excluídos das áreas rurais, ampliando a sua participação no processo de desenvolvimento, através da sua participação na tomada de decisões. O capital social se constitui em um bem público, enquanto o capital convencional se constitui em um bem privado. O capital social é produzido como um subproduto das relações sociais, sendo a confiança um componente essencial. As organizações governamentais e não governamentais, o setor privado, os grupos comunitários, as cooperativas, os grupos religiosos e outros, são atores importantes na formação de capital social. A prosperidade econômica geralmente ocorre quando os grupos primários se conectam a outros grupos por meio de laços transversais. Quando os grupos primários estão desconectados, os grupos mais poderosos passam a agir sobre as estruturas sociais, de forma a excluí-los. Para os propósitos deste artigo o capital social é definido como as normas e relações sociais enraizadas na estrutura social que torna possível que atores coordenem suas ações no sentido de atingir os fins que se propuseram Assim o objetivo deste trabalho foi tentar estabelecer as correlações entre a existência de capital social entre os agricultores familiares e sua capacidade de acesso e uso às linhas de crédito do Programa Nacional de Agricultura Familiar (PRONAF). Através da utilização de dados e informações secundárias sobre o acesso ao crédito nas diferentes regiões geográficas do Brasil, foram estabelecidas hipóteses de suas relações com os tipos e elementos de capital social. O trabalho se inicia pelo Referencial Teórico, onde se fará uma breve retrospectiva das diferentes abordagens teóricas do capital social, revisando em maiores detalhes a abordagem teórica de Lin (1999) e Fox (1996). Em seguida são apresentados e discutidos os Resultados da Análise dos Dados de Acesso e Uso das Linhas de Crédito do Programa Nacional de Agricultura Familiar (PRONAF), a Metodologia e as Considerações Finais.

An analysis of the core level as well as the valence band spectra of NiS_2 in conjunction with many-body cluster calculations provides a quantitative description of the electronic structure of this compound. With increasing Se content, the on-site Coulomb correlation strength (U) does not change, while the band width W of the system increases, driving the system from a covalent insulating state to a pd-metallic state.

description: We have measured the thermal expansion of Ni nanowires electrodeposited into self-organized nanoporous amorphous aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes without Al substrate using X-ray diffraction between 110K and 350K. The results indicate an average thermal expansion of the Ni nanowires -- along the wire axis -- of $\langleα\rangle_{\rm NiNW}=-(1.6 \pm 1.5)\times 10^{-6}$/K. Assuming a bulk-like thermal expansion of the isolated Ni nanowires, this result indicates that AAO has also a negative thermal expansion. We estimate the thermal expansion of nanoporous AAO to be $\langleα\rangle_{\rm AAO}=-(5 \pm 1) \times 10^{-6}$/K. We show that data obtained previously on the thermal expansion of metallic nanowires grown in the nanoporous AAO may be interpreted as originated in a negative thermal expansion of the matrix.

description: We use the fermion zero-modes in the background of multi-caloron solutions with non-trivial holonomy as a probe for constituent monopoles. We find in general indication for an extended structure. However, for well separated constituents these become point-like. We analyse this in detail for the SU(2) charge 2 case, where one is able to solve the relevant Nahm equation exactly, beyond the piecewize constant solutions studied previously. Remarkably the zero-mode density can be expressed in the high temperature limit as a function of the conserved quantities that classify the solutions of the Nahm equation.

title: ‘Applied Linguist’, ‘Ethnographer’, International(ist) Citizen - Perspectives on the Language Learner
Creators: name: Byram, Michael
Publisher: name: Status Quaestionis
Year: 2020

description: In this article, I consider three ways of envisioning the language learner, and the disciplines or theories on which they are based. The language learner as ‘applied linguist’ suggests that learners and their teachers draw on linguistic analyses of the language they are learn- ing/teaching. To see the language learner as ‘ethnographer’ means to include the skills, knowledge and attitudes of ethnography in what is taught/learnt. The language learner as international/intercultural citizen needs to take into account insights from both citizenship education and internationalism, a counterforce to nationalism and chauvinism, which lan- guage teaching is well-placed to support. In pursuing these three possible visions of the language learner the crucial criterion is that language learning should have educational value and respond to contemporary societal con- ditions.

description: Active particles such as swimming bacteria or self-propelled colloids are known to spontaneously organize into fascinating large-scale dynamic structures. The emergence of these collective states from the motility pattern of the individual particles, typically a random walk, is yet to be probed in a well-defined synthetic system. Here, we report the experimental realization of intermittent colloidal motion that reproduces the run-and-tumble and Levy trajectories common to many swimming and swarming bacteria. Our strategy enables to tailor the sequence of repeated "runs" (nearly constant-speed straight-line translation) and "tumbles" (seemingly erratic turn) to emulate any random walk. This new paradigm for active locomotion at the microscale opens new opportunities for experimental explorations of the collective dynamics emerging in active suspensions. We find that population of these random walkers exhibit behaviors reminiscent of bacterial suspensions such as dynamic clusters and mesoscale turbulent-like flows.

description: The Casimir-Polder interaction between an atom and a metal wall is investigated under the influence of real conditions including the dynamic polarizability of the atom, finite conductivity of the wall metal and nonzero temperature of the system. Both analytical and numerical results for the free energy and force are obtained over a wide range of the atom-wall distances. Numerical computations are performed for an Au wall and metastable He${}^{\ast}$, Na and Cs atoms. For the He${}^{\ast}$ atom we demonstrate, as an illustration, that at short separations of about the Au plasma wavelength at room temperature the free energy deviates up to 35% and the force up to 57% from the classical Casimir-Polder result. Accordingly, such large deviations should be taken into account in precision experiments on atom-wall interactions. The combined account of different corrections to the Casimir-Polder interaction leads to the conclusion that at short separations the corrections due to the dynamic polarizability of an atom play a more important role than -- and suppress -- the corrections due to the nonideality of the metal wall. By the comparison of the exact atomic polarizabilities with those in the framework of the single oscillator model, it is shown that the obtained asymptotic expressions enable calculation of the free energy and force for the atom-wall interaction under real conditions with a precision of one percent.

description: Mechanical resonators are widely used as precision clocks and sensitive detectors that rely on the stability of their eigenfrequencies. The phase noise is determined by different factors ranging from thermal noise and frequency noise of the resonator to noise in the feedback circuitry. Increasing the vibration amplitude can mitigate some of these effects but the improvements are limited by nonlinearities that are particularly strong for miniaturized micro- and nano-mechanical systems. Here we design a micromechanical resonator with non-monotonic dependence of the frequency of eigenoscillations on energy. Near the extremum, where the dispersion of the eigenfrequency is zero, the system regains certain characteristics of a linear resonator, albeit at large vibration amplitudes. The spectral peak undergoes counter-intuitive narrowing when the noise intensity is increased. With the resonator serving as the frequency determining element in a feedback loop, the phase noise at the extremum amplitude is three times smaller than the conventional nonlinear regime. Zero dispersion phenomena open new opportunities for improving resonant sensors and frequency references.

description: O turismo nos moldes em que se apresenta atualmente vem despertando um crescente interesse da sociedade desde o século XIX. Porém, apenas no século XX, com os avanços tecnológicos que a atividade se consolidou. Com o crescimento no número de pessoas viajando a lazer no século passado, pesquisadores interessados no fenômeno passaram a refletir sobre seus efeitos não só econômicos, como também sociais, ecológicos e culturais. Fundamentando-se nestas abordagens teóricas que enfatizam não apenas os efeitos econômicos do turismo, mas o compreende de maneira sistêmica, esse trabalho busca analisar as influências do turismo em comunidades receptoras. Para tanto foi feita uma revisão de literatura sobre o tema e em seguida buscou-se identificar esses efeitos através de um estudo de caso no município de Carrancas, sul de Minas Gerais. Pode-se constatar que o turismo traz uma série de efeitos para a comunidade receptora, porém de acordo com o estágio de evolução da atividade estes efeitos não são percebidos por esta. Constatou-se também que ao aplicar as proposições teóricas em uma determinada realidade é possível identificar nesta,indicadores que sinalizam o estágio de desenvolvimento da atividade e conseqüentemente os efeitos que ela está gerando ou que tende a gerar.

description: Rumors flooding on rapidly-growing online social networks has geared much attention from many fronts. Individuals can transmit rumors via numerous channels since they can be active on multiple platforms. However, no systematic theoretical research of rumors containing dynamics on multiplex networks has been conducted yet. In this study, we propose a family of containing strategies based on the degree product $\mathcal{K}$ of each user on the multiplex networks. Then, we develop a heterogeneous edge-based compartmental theory to comprehend the containing dynamics. The simulation results demonstrate that strategies with preference to block users with large $\mathcal{K}$ can significantly reduce the rumor outbreak size and enlarge the threshold. Besides, better performance can be expected on heterogeneous multiplex networks with the increasing of preference intensity and degree heterogeneity. Moreover, take the inter-layer degree correlations $r_s$ into consideration, the strategy performs best on multiplex networks with $r_s=-1$, $r_s=1$ the second, and $r_s=0$ the last. On the contrary, if we prefer to block users with small $\mathcal{K}$ rather than large $\mathcal{K}$, the containing performance will be worse than that of blocking users randomly on most multiplex networks except for uncorrelated multiplex networks with uniform degree distribution. We found that the blocking preferences have no influence on the containing results on uncorrelated multiplex networks with uniform degree distribution. Our theoretical analysis can well predict the rumors containing results and performance differences in all the cases studied. The systematic theoretical research of rumors containing dynamics on multiplex networks in this study will offer inspirations for further investigations on this issue.
title: Foreign language teaching from a pedagogical lingua franca perspective

description: According to a social constructivist understanding, foreign language teachers should enable their learners to reflectively explore their own foreign language communication and to negotiate and refine their requirements of communicative and communal success. Suitable conditions for such an experience can be provided in intercultural virtual exchanges in which ‘learners’ of different linguacultural backgrounds are engaged as ‘speakers’ and use their common target language as a pedagogical lingua franca. Two case studies involving secondary school students with English and German as target languages will be presented to illustrate the pedagogical lingua franca approach and to discuss it with regard to issues of learner agency, non-native speaker emancipation, communication monitoring, and pedagogical mentoring.

description: We consider the problem of designing a set of computational agents so that as they all pursue their self-interests a global function G of the collective system is optimized. Three factors govern the quality of such design. The first relates to conventional exploration-exploitation search algorithms for finding the maxima of such a global function, e.g., simulated annealing. Game-theoretic algorithms instead are related to the second of those factors, and the third is related to techniques from the field of machine learning. Here we demonstrate how to exploit all three factors by modifying the search algorithm's exploration stage so that rather than by random sampling, each coordinate of the underlying search space is controlled by an associated machine-learning-based ``player'' engaged in a non-cooperative game. Experiments demonstrate that this modification improves SA by up to an order of magnitude for bin-packing and for a model of an economic process run over an underlying network. These experiments also reveal novel small worlds phenomena.

Covariant Effective Field Theory for Nuclear Structure and Nuclear Currents
Creators: name: Serot, Brian D.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent progress in Lorentz-covariant quantum field theories of the nuclear many-body problem (quantum hadrodynamics or QHD) is discussed. The effective field theory studied here contains nucleons, pions, isoscalar scalar (σ) and vector (ω) fields, and isovector vector (ρ) fields. The theory exhibits a nonlinear realization of spontaneously broken SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R chiral symmetry and has three desirable features: it uses the same degrees of freedom to describe the nuclear currents and the strong-interaction dynamics, it satisfies the symmetries of the underlying theory of QCD, and its parameters can be calibrated using strong-interaction phenomena, like hadron scattering or the empirical properties of finite nuclei. Moreover, it has recently been verified that for normal nuclear systems, it is possible to expand the effective Lagrangian systematically in powers of the meson fields (and their derivatives) and to truncate the expansion reliably after the first few orders. Using a mean-field version of the energy functional, accurate quantitative results are obtained for the bulk and single-particle properties of medium- and heavy-mass nuclei. The importance of modern perspectives in effective field theory and density functional theory for understanding these successes of QHD is emphasized. The inclusion of hadronic electromagnetic structure and of nonanalytic terms in the energy functional is also considered briefly. As a further application, weak-interaction currents are studied in the QHD framework. The axial-vector current, evaluated through the leading order in the field expansion, satisfies both PCAC and the Goldberger--Treiman relation, and the corresponding vector and axial-vector charges satisfy the familiar chiral charge algebra to all orders in the pion field.

High-resolution three-dimensional simulations of gas removal from ultrafaint dwarf galaxies. I. Stellar feedback

description: The faintest Local Group galaxies found lurking in and around the Milky Way halo provide a unique test bed for theories of structure formation and evolution on small scales. Deep Subaru and Hubble Space Telescope photometry demonstrates that their stellar populations are old, and that the star formation activity did not last longer than 2 Gyr in these systems. A few mechanisms that may lead to such a rapid quenching have been investigated by means of hydrodynamic simulations, without providing any final assessment so far. This is the first in a series of papers aimed at analysing the roles of stellar feedback, ram pressure stripping, host-satellite tidal interactions and reionization in cleaning the lowest-mass Milky Way companions of their cold gas, by using high-resolution, three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations. We simulate an isolated ultrafaint dwarf galaxy loosely modeled after Bootes I, and examine whether or not stellar feedback alone could drive a substantial fraction of the ambient gas out from the shallow potential well. In contrast to simple analytical estimates, but in agreement with previous hydrodynamical studies, we find that most of the cold gas reservoir is retained. Conversely, a significant fraction of the metal-enriched stellar ejecta crosses the boundaries of the computational box with velocities exceeding the local escape velocity and is, thus, likely lost from the system. Although the total energy output from multiple supernova explosions exceeds the binding energy of the gas, no galactic-scale outflow develops in our simulations and as such, most of the ambient medium remains trapped within the weak potential well of the model galaxy. It seems thus unavoidable that, in order to explain the dearth of gas in ultrafaint dwarf galaxies, we will have to resort to environmental effects. This will be the subject of a forthcoming paper.

description: This paper investigates the farm-household decisions of adopting and abandoning higher-productivity technologies, under different scenarios of inclusion into the credit and deposit markets. The financial environment is further characterized by shallow financial markets, represented by a comparatively large wedge between high interest rates charged on loans and low interest rates paid on deposits and by relatively stringent borrowing limits. Via the numerical approximation of infinite horizon, dynamic, stochastic models, the analysis begins by solving the representative farmer’s dynamic decision problem for three different scenarios of financial exclusion/inclusion in just loan or deposit markets. Then, by expanding the model to a whole economy of heterogeneous farmers, the effects of financial development are examined at the aggregate level. The results show that the scenarios of partial inclusion, either to deposits or to credit markets, bring notably greater benefits in terms of the sustained adoption of the advanced technology than the scenario of financial exclusion. Simulations using different borrowing limits show that, unless the credit limit is sufficiently nonrestrictive, the provision of deposit facilities is a superior policy to boost the rates of technology adoption and prevent its abandonment. In the case of credit, the steady-state adoption rates are insensitive to the interest rate levels. Thus, the simulations actually reflect cases of non-interest credit rationing. In contrast, when only deposit facilities are available, the adoption rate is higher and the abandonment rate is lower as the interest rates paid on financial savings increase.

description: In this paper we present an in-depth analysis of a recently proposed Standard Model extension with a complete fourth generation of quarks and leptons, which are vector-like with respect to the Standard Model gauge group and charged under a new spontaneously broken vector-like $\mathrm{U(1)^\prime}$ gauge symmetry. The model is designed to explain the known muon anomalies, i.e. the observed deviations from Standard Model predictions in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $Δa_μ$, and in $b \rightarrow s \ell^+ \ell^-$ processes. We perform a global $χ^2$ analysis of the data with $65$ model parameters and including $98$ observables. We find many points with $χ^2$ per degree of freedom $\leq 1$. The vector-like leptons and the new heavy $Z^\prime$ are typically much lighter than a TeV and would, thus, be eminently visible at the HL-LHC.

title: Semantic Consciousness and Inhabiting a Linguacultural Community: A Sociocultural Approach
Creators: name: McCafferty, Steven
Publisher: name: Status Quaestionis

description: Vygotsky’s final ambition (see Veresov and Moc 2018) was to transform his previous work into a dynamic, interfunctional perspective of personhood centered on consciousness. What he was able to accomplish before his untimely demise focused primarily on the unity of cognition and affect. Human consciousness, as considered from the perspective of sociogenesis, necessarily involves how people come to inhabit the ecosocial world around them, moving from the social to the psychological. For Vygotsky, language is transformed in this process, becoming primarily semantic in inner speech, and together with perezhivanie, or how a person experiences an event/environment (interpretence), mediates consciousness. How we come to inhabit a language, culture, languaculture, or extemporaneous community, whether consisting of speakers of many languages or just one, necessarily involves our associations with language and experience at the intrapersonal level in formulating shared levels of interpretence interpersonally as well.
