description: Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) is a weakly supervised paradigm that has been successfully applied to many different scientific areas and is particularly well suited to medical imaging. Probabilistic MIL methods, and more specifically Gaussian Processes (GPs), have achieved excellent results due to their high expressiveness and uncertainty quantification capabilities. One of the most successful GP-based MIL methods, VGPMIL, resorts to a variational bound to handle the intractability of the logistic function. Here, we formulate VGPMIL using Pólya-Gamma random variables. This approach yields the same variational posterior approximations as the original VGPMIL, which is a consequence of the two representations that the Hyperbolic Secant distribution admits. This leads us to propose a general GP-based MIL method that takes different forms by simply leveraging distributions other than the Hyperbolic Secant one. Using the Gamma distribution we arrive at a new approach that obtains competitive or superior predictive performance and efficiency. This is validated in a comprehensive experimental study including one synthetic MIL dataset, two well-known MIL benchmarks, and a real-world medical problem. We expect that this work provides useful ideas beyond MIL that can foster further research in the field.

description: We study the dynamics of a driven spherical colloidal particle moving in a fluid with a broken rotational symmetry. Using a nematic liquid crystal as a model, we demonstrate that when the applied force is not aligned along or perpendicular to the orientational order, the colloidal velocity does not align with the force, but forms an angle with respect to the pulling direction. This leads to blue an anisotropic hydrodynamic drag tensor which depends on the material parameters. In the case of nematic liquid crystal, we give an analytical expression and discuss the resulting implications for active microrheology experiments on fluids with broken rotational symmetry.

At presents India aim to be joining IFRS club from the financial year 2011 toinclude, all listed companies, all banking companies, all financial institutions, all scheduledcommercial banks, all insurance companies and all NBFC.Many countries have recognized the need for convergence of accounting standards and aremoving towards its implementation whilst other are more passive in their approach, perhapshaving issues too complex to resolve or have not comprehended the importance of IFRS. Thetimeline for the convergence of select countries, including India. The Institute of CharteredAccountants of India (ICAI) has announced that IFRS will be mandatory in India for financialstatements for the periods beginning on or after 1 April 2011. This will be done by revisingexisting accounting standards to make them compatible with IFRS. Reserve Bank of India hasstated that financial statements of banks need to be IFRS-compliant for periods beginning on orafter 1 April 2011.

Women's Marriage Age

description: Background: Early childbirth is associated with adverse maternal and child health outcomes. In South Asia, where women generally marry before having children, public health efforts need to focus on delaying marriage. Female education is widely considered the primary means to achieve this. However, it remains unclear how much education is required to delay marriage to the universal minimum age of 18 years, or what predicts marriage age in women lacking any education. This is crucial to address in the Terai region of Nepal which has the highest proportion of children out of school and where girls marry and have their first pregnancy early. Methods: We analyzed data from 6,406 women aged 23-30 years from a cluster-randomized trial in lowland Terai Nepal. Using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, multivariable logistic and Cox proportional hazards regression models, we investigated associations between women's education level and age at marriage and first pregnancy, and the interval between these events. Among the uneducated women, we investigated associations of husband's education level with the same outcomes. Results: Compared to uneducated women, educated women had a greater probability of delaying marriage until the age of 18 years and of pregnancy until 20 years. Women needed to complete grade 9, and ideally 11, to substantially increase their odds of marrying after 18 years. Delaying first pregnancy to 20 years was largely due to marrying later; education had little extra effect. The association of marriage with first pregnancy age worked independently of education. However, later-marrying women, who generally had completed more education, had their first pregnancy sooner after marriage than earlier marrying women. Most uneducated women, regardless of their husbands' level of education, still married under the legal age of marriage. Conclusion: Delaying marriage to majority age requires greater efforts to ensure girls get to school in the first place, and complete secondary education. Since currently only 36% of girls in the Terai attend secondary school, parallel efforts to delay marriage are crucial to prevent early childbearing. Sexual and reproductive health programmes in school and in women's groups for married and uneducated adolescents may help prepare for marriage and pregnancy.

description: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) seropositivity in adults has been linked to increased cardiovascular disease burden. Phenotypically, CMV infection leads to an inflated CD8 T-lymphocyte compartment. We employed a 8-colour flow cytometric protocol to analyse circulating T cells in 597 octogenarians from the same birth cohort together with NT-proBNP measurements and followed all participants over 7 years. We found that, independent of CMV serostatus, a high number of CD27-CD28+ CD8 EMRA T-lymphocytes (TEMRA) protected from all-cause death after adjusting for known risk factors, such as heart failure, frailty or cancer (Hazard ratio 0.66 for highest vs lowest tertile; confidence interval 0.51-0.86). In addition, CD27-CD28+ CD8 EMRA T-lymphocytes protected from both, non-cardiovascular (hazard ratio 0.59) and cardiovascular death (hazard ratio 0.65). In aged mice treated with the senolytic navitoclax, in which we have previously shown a rejuvenated cardiac phenotype, CD8 effector memory cells are decreased, further indicating that alterations in T cell subpopulations are associated with cardiovascular ageing. Future studies are required to show whether targeting immunosenescence will lead to enhanced life- or healthspan.

description: Bacteria are prolific at colonizing diverse surfaces under a widerange of environmental conditions, and exhibit fascinating examples of self-organization across scales. Though it has recently attracted considerable interest, the role of mechanical forces in the collective behavior of bacterial colonies is not yet fully understood. Here, we construct a model of growing rod-like bacteria, such as Escherichia coli based purely on mechanical forces. We perform overdamped molecular dynamics simulations of the colony starting from a few cells in contact with a surface. As the colony grows, microdomains of strongly aligned cells grow and proliferate. Our model captures both the initial growth of a bacterial colony and also shows characteristic signs of capturing the experimentally observed transition to multilayered colonies over longer timescales. We compare our results with experiments on E. coli cells and analyze the statistics of microdomains.

description: The appearance of spontaneous polarization in CuInP$_{2}$S$_{6}$ ferrielectrics is related to the second order Jahn-Teller effect for copper cations located in a double-well local potential, the stereoactivity of indium cations located in a three-well local potential, as well as the valence fluctuations of phosphorus cations. The paraelectric to ferrielectric phase transition is primarily determined by the coupling of indium cations with their surroundings. This transition can be analyzed using the mixed Ising model with spins $s = 1/2$ and $S = 1$. The spectrum of pseudospin fluctuations at different temperatures was calculated using a mean-field approach for a set of quantum anharmonic oscillators. The results were then compared with Raman spectroscopy data for CuInP$_{2}$S$_{6}$ crystal. The analysis indicates that the lattice anharmonicity below 150 K, is mainly determined by the indium sublattice, leading to the coexistence of the glassy state and ferrielectric phase. Above 150 K, the anharmonicity of the copper sublattice activates the ionic conductivity and results in the existence of a long-ranged fluctuated cluster of spontaneous polarization in a temperature interval of the paraelectric phase above $T_{C}$.

description: Adolescent changes in human brain function are not entirely understood. Here, we used multiecho functional MRI (fMRI) to measure developmental change in functional connectivity (FC) of resting-state oscillations between pairs of 330 cortical regions and 16 subcortical regions in 298 healthy adolescents scanned 520 times. Participants were aged 14 to 26 y and were scanned on 1 to 3 occasions at least 6 mo apart. We found 2 distinct modes of age-related change in FC: "conservative" and "disruptive." Conservative development was characteristic of primary cortex, which was strongly connected at 14 y and became even more connected in the period from 14 to 26 y. Disruptive development was characteristic of association cortex and subcortical regions, where connectivity was remodeled: connections that were weak at 14 y became stronger during adolescence, and connections that were strong at 14 y became weaker. These modes of development were quantified using the maturational index (MI), estimated as Spearman's correlation between edgewise baseline FC (at 14 y, [Formula: see text]) and adolescent change in FC ([Formula: see text]), at each region. Disruptive systems (with negative MI) were activated by social cognition and autobiographical memory tasks in prior fMRI data and significantly colocated with prior maps of aerobic glycolysis (AG), AG-related gene expression, postnatal cortical surface expansion, and adolescent shrinkage of cortical thickness. The presence of these 2 modes of development was robust to numerous sensitivity analyses. We conclude that human brain organization is disrupted during adolescence by remodeling of FC between association cortical and subcortical areas.

description: We performed X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements on a thin film of Si nanocrystals (SiNCs) while applying DC or AC external biases to extract the resistance and the capacitance of the thin film. The measurement consists of the application of 10 V DC or square wave pulses of 10 V amplitude to the sample at various frequencies ranging from 0.01 Hz to 1 MHz while recording X-ray photoemission data. To analyze the data, we propose three different models with varying degrees of accuracy. The calculated capacitance of SiNCs agrees with the experimental value in the literature.

description: This paper frames causal structure estimation as a machine learning task. The idea is to treat indicators of causal relationships between variables as 'labels' and to exploit available data on the variables of interest to provide features for the labelling task. Background scientific knowledge or any available interventional data provide labels on some causal relationships and the remainder are treated as unlabelled. To illustrate the key ideas, we develop a distance-based approach (based on bivariate histograms) within a manifold regularization framework. We present empirical results on three different biological data sets (including examples where causal effects can be verified by experimental intervention), that together demonstrate the efficacy and general nature of the approach as well as its simplicity from a user's point of view.

description: We tested and compared the stability and usability of three different cathode materials and configurations in a thermionic-based ultrafast electron microscope: (1) on-axis thermionic and photoemission from a 0.1-mm diameter LaB6 source with graphite guard ring, (2) off-axis photoemission from the Ni aperture surface of the Wehnelt electrode, and (3) on-axis thermionic and photoemission from a 0.2-mm diameter polycrystalline Ta source. For each cathode type and configuration, we illustrate how the photoelectron beam-current stability is deleteriously impacted by simultaneous cooling of the source following thermionic heating. Further, we demonstrate usability via collection of parallel- and convergent-beam electron diffraction patterns and by formation of optimum probe size. We find that usability of the off-axis Ni Wehnelt-aperture photoemission is at least comparable to on-axis LaB6 thermionic emission, as well as to on-axis photoemission. However, the stability and achievable beam currents for off-axis photoemission from the Wehnelt aperture were superior to that of the other cathode types and configurations, regardless of the electron-emission mechanism. Beam-current stability for this configuration was found to be within 1% of the mean for 70 minutes (longest duration tested), and steady-state beam current was reached within the sampling-time resolution used here (~1 s) for 15 pA beam currents (i.e., 460 electrons per packet for a 200 kHz repetition rate). Repeatability and robustness of the steady-state condition was also found to be within 1% of the mean. We discuss the implications of these findings for UEM imaging and diffraction experiments, for pulsed-beam damage measurements, and for practical switching between optimum conventional TEM and UEM operation within the same instrument.

description: X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is generally used for chemical analysis of surfaces and interfaces. This method involves the analysis of changes in binding energies and peak shapes of elements under consideration. It is also possible to use XPS to study the effect of X-ray radiation on the electrical properties of thin films. We measured the Si 2p peak using X-ray powers of 300 W and 150 W on approximately 135 nm silicon dioxide (SiO2) thin films grown on both n- and p-type substrates while applying DC or AC external biases. Using the shifts in the binding energy of the Si 2p peak, we calculated the resistances and the capacitances of the SiO2 thin film. The way that the binding energies of the Si 2p peak and the capacitance of the thin film change as a function of the type of Si substrate and the power of the X-ray are explained using band bending.

description: As cities around the world address technological advancements and environmental challenges, the concept of public space is increasingly contested. Traditional top-down urban planning approaches, driven by technocratic systems and expert narratives, often overlook the diverse needs and experiences of citizens. In response, bottom-up approaches such as DIY urbanism have emerged, advocating for public spaces shaped by their inhabitants rather than imposed by planners. Emerging methods for joining these perspectives together further employ digital tools to mediate the co-creation processes. Compounded by the blurry future imaginary of the `smart' city permeating urban life, the role of citizen voices in imagineering the spaces of today and tomorrow is at a crossroads. This thesis examines these tensions in the context of holistic smart city development, using Vienna's 5er Klimateam project as a case study. It's investigation is grounded in a comprehensive literature review which explores key concepts of public space, future urban imaginaries, and collaborative city-making. This theoretical foundation informs the subsequent empirical research, which employs a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative content analysis with digital ethnography. The study analyzes 308 citizen submissions, their refinement into 27 projects, and the implementation of 5 selected initiatives, using data from the Wien Mitgestalten platform. The analysis reveals a significant gap between these citizen aspirations and final project implementations. Of the five projects selected for implementation, two showed little to no progress, while the others often diverged substantially from their original intentions. The research identifies a gradual dilution of citizen input throughout the process, with limited citizen involvement in the crucial implementation phase. Furthermore, the study highlights how city administration often retrofitted existing initiatives to address citizen proposals, rather than developing truly novel solutions based on community input. This research provides a critical, in-depth examination of a real-world smart city participatory initiative, offering insights into the practical challenges of integrating citizen input into urban planning. By connecting theoretical concepts from the literature review with empirical findings, it contributes to the discourse on citizen participation in smart cities. The study highlights the complexities of translating diverse citizen aspirations into concrete urban interventions within existing administrative frameworks, offering valuable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and researchers seeking to create more inclusive and responsive smart cities.

description: It is a unsecured loan as no securities are taken while availing the loan. Other form of loan like home loan, loan against shares/securities demands collateral security while availing it. The personal loan is completely free from all the conditions and canbe availed with ease. Even though a few financial institutions may ask for a guarantor based on their comfort level of theapplicant's profile, it is a hassle free form loan.According to the Credit Information Bureau of India (CIBIL), your credit score should be between 100 and 999. The lower yourcredit score, the more chances of your application being rejected. The higher the credit score, the lower will be the interest ratescharged. Another factor to be considered when applying for a personal loan is if you want to opt for reduced-balance interestrate or flat interest rate. With reduced-balance interest rate, the interest on the loan keeps on reducing as it is calculated on thereduced principle amount which reduces daily, monthly, quarterly or annually.

description: The foreign banks are functioning only in few metropolitan and big cities, they can afford to be luxurious but Indian banks have to tread with caution as they are beckoned to do social banking on a very large scale without commensurate returns. Indian banks are open to every citizen of the country, irrespective of social and financial strata to which he belongs where as only elite are welcome to foreign banks. It is true that age-old systems and procedures have inherent weakness, which glaringly came to the fore with growing volume of work. Again, banks have to rely on other agencies in carrying out their functions like outstation collection. All the same, banks can substantially reduce delay by adopting technology in operations and displaying friendly attitude towards all customers. The Opinion of various constituents of the banks such as customer employees and managements as to the benefits and problems of implementation of information technology in State Bank of India. After the globalization of India economy in 1991, the information technology sector remained one of the most happening sectors in India. The recent years witness rapid and dramatic changes in the field of the information technology in the last few years more and more banks both foreign and domestic. Came into information technology market and offers large number of product and services to the people.

description: People complaint that fat in milk increases the content of cholesterol in their body in their body causing some disease. To getrid of this complaint people can go for skimmed milk. Previously, the availability of cattle farm was more and the populationwas less. To carry out all the day-to-day life activities, energy is needed. Food gives energy. Hence it is irritable for any humanbeing to intake food. One of the important factors that must be considered in food is its nutritious value. Nutritious is thescience of food. It is the process by which the organism ingests, digests, absorbs, transports, utilizes, nutrients and disposesits end products. Collectively, it is the process of intake, digestion and assimilation of food. Consumer’s preference for a readilyavailable, good quality product has lead to the increased demand for packet milk. Moreover, the contents of the packet milkare highly nutritious. It has no cholesterol. This enable even aged people to consume packet milk. As such, being a nutritiousfood is important for the human being. Milk is an essential item used by the people as vegetarian diet more consumption ofmilk depend not only on its factor but also on the availability of children and also by practice of taking coffee, tea, etc. The chieffactor which influence the consumption of milk are availability level of income of people and prices. Milk is not only an essentialitems but also most frequently and commonly used by the people.

The Philosophy of Perception - an explaination of Realism, Idealism and the Nature of Reality.pdf
Creators: name: Forrester, Rochelle
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Philosophy
subject: FOS: Philosophy, ethics and religion

description: This paper investigates the nature of reality by looking at the philosophical debate between realism and idealism and at scientific investigations in quantum physics and at recent studies of animal senses, neurology and cognitive psychology. The concept of perceptual relativity is examined and this involves looking at sense perception in other animals and various examples of perceptual relativity in science. It will be concluded that the universe is observer dependent and that there is no reality independent of the observer, which is knowable to the observer. The paper concludes by an investigation of what an observer dependent universe would be like and that recognition of an observer dependent world would lead to a more open minded and tolerant world.

description: Bioluminescence relies on the oxidation of a luciferin substrate catalysed by a luciferase enzyme. Luciferins and luciferases are generic terms used to describe a large variety of substrates and enzymes. Whereas luciferins can be shared by phylogenetically distant organisms which feed on organisms producing them, luciferases have been thought to be lineage-specific enzymes. Numerous light emission systems would then have co-emerged independently along the tree of life resulting in a plethora of non-homologous luciferases. Here, we identify for the first time a candidate luciferase of a luminous echinoderm, the ophiuroid Amphiura filiformis. Phylogenomic analyses identified the brittle star predicted luciferase as homologous to the luciferase of the sea pansy Renilla (Cnidaria), contradicting with the traditional viewpoint according to which luciferases would generally be of convergent origins. The similarity between the Renilla and Amphiura luciferases allowed us to detect the latter using anti-Renilla luciferase antibodies. Luciferase expression was specifically localized in the spines which were demonstrated to be the bioluminescent organs in vivo. However, enzymes homologous to the Renilla luciferase but unable to trigger light emission were also identified in non-luminous echinoderms and metazoans. Our findings strongly indicate that those enzymes, belonging to the haloalkane dehalogenase family, might then have been convergently co-opted into luciferases in cnidarians and echinoderms. In these two benthic suspension-feeding species, similar ecological pressures would constitute strong selective forces for the functional shift of these enzymes and the emergence of bioluminescence.

description: In this paper, we consider the physical layer security of an RIS-assisted multiple-antenna communication system with randomly located eavesdroppers. The exact distributions of the received signal-to-noise-ratios (SNRs) at the legitimate user and the eavesdroppers located according to a Poisson point process (PPP) are derived, and a closed-form expression for the secrecy outage probability (SOP) is obtained. It is revealed that the secrecy performance is mainly affected by the number of RIS reflecting elements, and the impact of the transmit antennas and transmit power at the base station is marginal. In addition, when the locations of the randomly located eavesdroppers are unknown, deploying the RIS closer to the legitimate user rather than to the base station is shown to be more efficient. We also perform an analytical study demonstrating that the secrecy diversity order depends on the path loss exponent of the RIS-to-ground links. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to verify the accuracy of these theoretical observations.

An investigation on electronic and magnetic properties of Cr substituted MoS$_2$ monolayer and multilayers-Hybrid functional calculations

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: With help of ab initio density functional theory calculation, DFT+U, and hybrid functional HSE06, we revisit the layer dependent electronic structure and magnetic properties of pristine and 3d transition metal Cr doped MoS$_2$ monolayer and multilayers. Our results show that the dopant Cr atoms prefer to stay at nearest neighbor distances. In the multilayers, they prefer to remain in the outermost surface layers. Matching with the experimental band gap, the optimized U parameter we report is 4 eV. The band gap of the Cr doped monolayer is indirect, confirming the experimental observation from photoluminescence experiments. The HSE06 calculation for Cr doped monolayer shows that the band gap of doped Cr MoS$_2$ monolayer is indirect and no magnetism is observed. From the DFT studies, the band gap for the multilayers is indirect, and doping with Cr does not induce magnetic moments in MoS$_2$ layers. The band gap is observed to decrease with the multilayer thickness. The strain induced by substitutional Cr doping at the Mo site transforms the band gap in monolayer MoS$_2$ from direct to indirect. The defect states are produced within the band gap region close to the conduction band minimum.
