description: The advancement of omics technologies and execution of large-scale clinical studies have led to the production of heterogeneous and big patient datasets. Researchers at DZNE (German Center for Neurodegeneration Diseases) and Fraunhofer SCAI (Fraunhofer Institute for Algorithms and Scientific Computing), located at several sites, are focusing on generation, integration, and analysis of such data, especially related to the field of neurodegenerative diseases. In order to extract meaningful and valuable biological insights, they analyze such datasets separately and, more importantly, in a combined manner. Blending of such datasets, which are often located at different sites and lack semantical traits, requires the development of novel data integration methodologies. We use the concept of federated semantic data layers to disseminate and create a unified view of different types of datasets. In addition to the semantically-enriched data in such data layers, we propose another level of condensed information providing only derived results that is integrated in a central integration platform. Furthermore, the implementation of a semantic lookup platform encloses all semantic concepts needed for the data integration. This eases the creation of connections, hence, improves interoperability between multiple datasets. Further integration of biological relevant relationships between several entity classes such as genes, SNPs, drugs, or miRNAs from public databases leverages the use of existing knowledge. In this paper, we describe the semantic-aware service-oriented infrastructure including the semantic data layers, the semantic lookup platform, and the integration platform and, additionally, give examples how data can be queried and visualized. The proposed architecture makes it easier to support such an infrastructure or adapt it to new use cases. Furthermore, the semantic data layers containing derived results can be used for data publication.

description: We suggest that extragalactic radio sources are intermittent on timescales of 10^4-10^5 yr. Using a simple spherical model of a cocoon/shock system, it is found that inactive sources fade rapidly in radio luminosity but the shock in the ambient medium continues to expand supersonically, thereby keeping the whole source structure intact during the inactive phases. The fading of inactive sources, and the effect of the intermittency on the expansion velocity, can readily explain the observed over-abundance of small radio sources. In particular, the plateau in the observed distribution of sizes found by O'Dea & Baum (1997) can be interpreted as being due to intermittency. The model predicts that very young sources will be particularly radio luminous, once the effects of absorption have been accounted for. Furthermore, it predicts the existence of a significant number of faint `coasting' sources. These might be detectable in deep, low-frequency radio maps, or via the X-ray and optical emission line properties of the shock front.

description: Radio frequency wireless energy transfer (WET) is a promising solution for powering autonomous Internet of Things (IoT) deployments. In this work, we leverage energy beamforming for powering multiple user equipments (UEs) with stringent energy harvesting (EH) demands in an indoor distributed massive multiple-input multiple-output system. Based on semi-definite programming, successive convex approximation (SCA), and maximum ratio transmission (MRT) techniques, we derive optimal and sub-optimal precoders aimed at minimizing the radio stripes' transmit power while exploiting information of the power transfer efficiency of the EH circuits at the UEs. Moreover, we propose an analytical framework to assess and control the electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation exposure in the considered indoor scenario. Numerical results show that i) the EMF radiation exposure can be more easily controlled at higher frequencies at the cost of a higher transmit power consumption, ii) training is not a very critical factor for the considered indoor system, iii) MRT/SCA-based precoders are particularly appealing when serving a small number of UEs, thus, especially suitable for implementation in a time domain multiple access (TDMA) scheduling framework, and iv) TDMA is more efficient than spatial domain multiple access (SDMA) when serving a relatively small number of UEs. Results suggest that additional boosting performance strategies are needed to increase the overall system efficiency, thus making the technology viable in practice.

Towards Accurate and Smart Task-Oriented Dialogue Systems
Creators: name: Zhang, Jianguo
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022

description: Dialogue systems such as Apple Siri, Microsoft Cortana are designed to help people in many aspects. In particular, task-oriented dialogue systems (TOD) assist humans in finishing various tasks such as setting alarms and making recommendations. Keeping track of user intention and providing information accurately and smartly with minimum conversational turns is a big challenge.

In this first work, I propose a discriminative nearest neighbor intent detection model to accurately identify user intentions and recognize unsupported or unrelated out-of-scope (OOS) user queries with limited training examples. In the second work, I further investigate whether pre-trained Transformers are robust in few-shot intent detection w.r.t. general and relevant OOS examples on our newly constructed and released datasets. In the third work, I propose a few-shot intent detection model through contrastive pre-training and fine-tuning to accurately identify both general and fine-grained user intents. I propose a dual strategy for slot-value predictions on dialog state tracking across multiple domains in the fourth work. Furthermore, since pipeline-based systems require lots of annotations and are hard to scale, the errors are also easy to propagate to different modules. We thus want to build accurate and smart end-to-end TOD based on seq2seq language models to leverage sophisticated NLU and NLG. In the fifth work, I present an end-to-end TOD framework via simple 'database' to handle all the components and add flexibility to update intents and slots dynamically.

description: Time-resolved studies of quantum systems are the key to understand quantum dynamics at its core. The real-time measurement of individual quantum numbers as they switch between certain discrete values, well known as random telegraph signal, is expected to yield maximal physical insight. However, the signal suffers from both systematic errors, such as a limited time resolution and noise from the measurement apparatus, as well as statistical errors due to a limited amount of data. Here we demonstrate that an evaluation scheme based on factorial cumulants can reduce the influence of such errors by orders of magnitude. The error resilience is supported by a general theory for the detection errors as well as experimental data of single-electron tunnelling through a self-assembled quantum dot. Thus, factorial cumulants push the limits in the analysis of random telegraph data which represent a wide class of experiments in physics, chemistry, engineering and life sciences.

title: Geographical field research and intercultural encounters in the Austro- Hungarian occupied Western Balkans, 1916–1918
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Brendel, Heiko
Publisher: name: Universität Potsdam
Year: 2019

description: This article examines geographical field research in Albania and Montenegro under Austro-Hungarian occupation, which lasted from 1916 to 1918. It focusses on one of the most important German-speaking geographers of the early 20 th century, Eugen Oberhummer (1859–1944), a pupil of Friedrich Ratzel, the founder of German geo-politics. In 1917 and 1918, Oberhummer went on two expeditions to Montenegro and Albania during the First World War. He already had travelled in four continents and vaguely knew the Western Balkans from an expedition in 1907. It will be argued that the actual situation in Albania and Montenegro did not alter, but did rather reinforce Oberhummer’s attitudes and opinions on the ‘other’ he encountered. Thus, the two war expeditions – Oberhummer primarily met high-ranking Austro-Hungarian officials and only few locals – confirmed his expectations basing on his ‘Ratzelian’ theoretical conceptions. It will further be argued that – in contrast to the much younger and less experienced ‘scholars-at-arms’ of the expedition of 1916 – war and violence were of secondary relevance for the well-travelled and renowned professor of geography in his late 50s. Neither in Oberhummer’s articles nor in his diaries the war and the occupation of Albania and Montenegro made up an important part. In Oberhummer’s ‘Ratzelian’ view, humans could not change or over-come the basic features of geography, as humans were clearly subordinated to the elemental forces of geography. People, over generations, adapted to geography, not the other way round. The on-going First World War was an opportunity for Oberhummer to travel to Albania and Montenegro, but the guerrilla warfare in large parts of Montenegro, the violence against the civilian population, and the fighting at the Albanian front were of secondary relevance and interest for him. Nevertheless, what Oberhummer observed offers great insights into the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Montenegro and Albania from the perspective of a renowned and – given the general circumstances – pleasantly relaxed Ratzelian geographer at the height of his academic career.

Gauge Coupling Unification in Realistic Free-Fermionic String Models

description: We discuss the unification of gauge couplings within the framework of a wide class of realistic free-fermionic string models which have appeared in the literature, including the flipped SU(5), SO(6)xSO(4), and various SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1) models. If the matter spectrum below the string scale is that of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), then string unification is in disagreement with experiment. We therefore examine several effects that may modify the minimal string predictions. First, we develop a systematic procedure for evaluating the one-loop heavy string threshold corrections in free-fermionic string models, and we explicitly evaluate these corrections for each of the realistic models. We find that these string threshold corrections are small, and we provide general arguments explaining why such threshold corrections are suppressed in string theory. Thus heavy thresholds cannot resolve the disagreement with experiment. We also study the effect of non-standard hypercharge normalizations, light SUSY thresholds, and intermediate-scale gauge structure, and similarly conclude that these effects cannot resolve the disagreement with low-energy data. Finally, we examine the effects of additional color triplets and electroweak doublets beyond the MSSM. Although not required in ordinary grand unification scenarios, such states generically appear within the context of certain realistic free-fermionic string models. We show that if these states exist at the appropriate thresholds, then the gauge couplings will indeed unify at the string scale. Thus, within these string models, string unification can be in agreement with low-energy data.

description: OTUs were mapped to metabolic reactions via a previously published collection of genome-scale metabolic models (GSMMs)140. We included OTUs that could be mapped to a taxonomic rank of family or lower and to at least one GSMM. To analyze metabolic reaction differences between patient groups, a two-sample t-test was used to compare the mean abundances of each reaction and each binary patient classification of interest (e.g., UC vs. CD) between the two groups. The Benjamini-Hochberg procedure141 was applied to correct for multiple testing and adj-p-value ≤ 0.05 between groups was considered significant. The metabolic subsystem classification of reactions was obtained from the GSMMs and for each t-test comparing groups of patients and each subsystem, Fisher’s exact test was performed to determine if the subsystem was overrepresented among the significantly different reactions; subsystems with p-value ≤ 0.05 were considered enriched. All analyses were performed in MATLAB (R2018a).

It illuminates how Yiddish cultural leaders in small diasporas, such as Chile, worked to maintain dialogue with other Jewish centers. Chilean culturists maintained that a unique Latin American Jewish culture existed and needed to be strengthened through the joint efforts of all Yiddish actors on the continent. Chilean activists envisioned a modern Jewish culture informed by both Eastern European influences and local Jewish cultural production, as well as by exchanges with non-Jewish Latin American majority cultures.

Our construction of brane configurations includes (p,q)5-brane and gives a systematic classification of possible three-dimensional gauge theories. The explicit identification of gauge theories are made and their mirror symmetry is discussed. As a new feature, our theories include interesting Maxwell-Chern-Simons system whose vacuum structure is also examined in detail, obtaining results consistent with the brane picture.

description: We study the kinematics of the dense gas of starless and protostellar cores traced by the N2D+(2-1), N2H+(1-0), DCO+(2-1), and H13CO+(1-0) transitions along the L1495 filament and the kinematic links between the cores and the surrounding molecular cloud. We measure velocity dispersions, local and total velocity gradients and estimate the specific angular momenta of 13 dense cores in the four transitions using the on-the-fly observations with the IRAM 30 m antenna. To study a possible connection to the filament gas, we use the fit results of the C18O(1-0) survey performed by Hacar et al. (2013). All cores show similar properties along the 10 pc-long filament. N2D+(2-1) shows the most centrally concentrated structure, followed by N2H+(1-0) and DCO+(2-1), which show similar spatial extent, and H13CO+(1-0). The non-thermal contribution to the velocity dispersion increases from higher to lower density tracers. The change of magnitude and direction of the total velocity gradients depending on the tracer used indicates that internal motions change at different depths within the cloud. N2D+ and N2H+ show smaller gradients than the lower density tracers DCO+ and H13CO+, implying a loss of specific angular momentum at small scales. At the level of cloud-core transition, the core's external envelope traced by DCO+ and H13CO+ is spinning up, consistent with conservation of angular momentum during core contraction. C18O traces the more extended cloud material whose kinematics is not affected by the presence of dense cores. The decrease in specific angular momentum towards the centres of the cores shows the importance of local magnetic fields to the small scale dynamics of the cores. The random distributions of angles between the total velocity gradient and large scale magnetic field suggests that the magnetic fields may become important only in the high density gas within dense cores.

description: The efficiency and reproducibility of two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D DIGE) depends on several crucial steps: (i) adequate number of replicate gels, (ii) accurate image acquisition, and (iii) statistically confident protein abundance analysis. The latter is inherently determined by the image analysis system. Available software solutions apply different strategies for consecutive image alignment and protein spot detection. While DeCyderTM performs spot detection on single gels prior to the alignment of spot maps, SameSpotsTM completes image alignment in advance of spot detection. In this study, the performances of DeCyderTM and SameSpotsTM were compared considering all protein spots detected in 2D DIGE resolved proteomes of three different environmental bacteria with minimal user interference. Proteome map-based analysis by SameSpotsTM allows for fast and reproducible abundance change determination, avoiding time-consuming, manual spot matching. The different raw spot volumes, determined by the two software solutions, did not affect calculated abundance changes. Due to a slight factorial difference, minor abundance changes were very similar, while larger differences in the case of major abundance changes did not impact biological interpretation in the studied cases. Overall, affordable fluorescent dyes in combination with fast CCD camera-based image acquisition and user-friendly image analysis still qualify 2D DIGE as a valuable tool for quantitative proteomics.

description: This article considers the stochastic on-time arrival problem in transit networks where both the travel time and the waiting time for transit services are stochastic. A specific challenge of this problem is the combinatorial solution space due to the unknown ordering of transit line arrivals. We propose a network structure appropriate to the online decision-making of a passenger, including boarding, waiting and transferring. In this framework, we design a dynamic programming algorithm that is pseudo-polynomial in the number of transit stations and travel time budget, and exponential in the number of transit lines at a station, which is a small number in practice. To reduce the search space, we propose a definition of transit line dominance, and techniques to identify dominance, which decrease the computation time by up to 90% in numerical experiments. Extensive numerical experiments are conducted on both a synthetic network and the Chicago transit network.

description: A coherent perfect absorber is capable of completely absorbing input waves. However, the coherent perfect absorption severely depends on the superposition of the input waves, and the perfect absorption is sensitive to the disorder of the absorber. Thus, a robust incoherent perfect absorption, being insensitive to the superposition of input waves and the system disorder, is desirable for practical applications. Here, we demonstrate that the linearly independent destructive interference at the port connections removes the constraint on the coherent input. We propose an approach using the interplay between the loss and localization to form the incoherent perfect absorption. The resonant incidence from either port is completely absorbed. Furthermore, we utilize the lattice configuration supporting the flat band to demonstrate the disorder-immune incoherent perfect absorption. Our findings provide insight into the fundamentals and applications for the perfect absorption of light, microwaves, sound, mechanical waves, and beyond.

description: We study constraints on the supersymmetric standard model from the updated electroweak precision measurements --- the Z-pole experiments and the $W$-boson mass measurements. The supersymmetric-particle contributions to the universal gauge-boson-propagator corrections are parametrized by the three oblique parameters Sz, Tz and mw. The oblique corrections, the Zqq and Zll vertex corrections, and the vertex and box corrections to the μ-decay width are separately studied in detail. We first study individual contribution from the four sectors of the model, the squarks, the sleptons, the supersymmetric fermions (charginos and neutralinos), and the supersymmetric Higgs bosons, to the universal oblique parameters, where the sum of individual contributions gives the total correction. We find that the light squarks or sleptons, whose masses just above the present direct search limits, always make the fit worse than that of the Standard Model (SM), whereas the light charginos and neutralinos generally make the fit slightly better. The contribution from the supersymmetric Higgs sector is found small. We then study the vertex/box corrections carefully when both the supersymmetric fermions (-inos) and the supersymmetric scalars (squarks and sleptons) are light, and find that no significant improvement over the SM fit is achieved. The best overall fit to the precision measurements are found when charginos of mass $\sim 100\gev$ with a dominant wino-component are present and the doublet squarks and sleptons are all much heavier. The improvement over the SM is marginal, however, where the total χ^2 of the fit to the 22 data points decreases by about one unit, due mainly to a slightly better fit to the $Z$-boson total width.

description: This investigation was undertaken to study the effect of manufactural processing conditions on the textural profile analysis (TPA) parameters and microstructure of processed cheese made by controlling the raw materials, water content, citric acid content, melting temperature, holding time, and emulsifying salts. The effect of manufactural processing conditions on the cheese physical properties was studied and compared. Moreover, hyperspectral images were acquired from the cheese samples. Principal component analysis was performed on the spectra to classify the cheese samples prepared under different processing conditions. A partial least square (PLS) algorithm was used to develop a model for predicting the TPA parameters. To assess the effect of processing conditions on the model performance, a PLS model was developed using the spectra of all of the cheese samples. A high determination correlation was achieved for predicting hardness, gumminess and chewiness with Rcv2 > 0.820 and cohesiveness and springiness with Rcv2 > 0.677. The lowest value of Rcv2 equal to 0.348 was obtained for adhesiveness.
Quadratic Rastall Gravity: from low-mass HESS J1731-347 to high-mass PSR J0952-0607 pulsars

description: Similar to Rastall gravity we introduce matter-geometry nonminimal coupling which is proportional to the gradient of quadratic curvature invariants. Those are mimicking the conformal trace anomaly when backreaction of the quantum fields to a curved spacetime geometry is considered. We consider a static spherically symmetric stellar structure with anisotropic fluid and Krori-Barua metric potentials model to examine the theory. Confronting the model with NICER+XMM-Newton observational constraints on the pulsar PSR J0740$+$6620 quantifies the amount of the nonminimal coupling via a dimensionless parameter $ε\simeq -0.01$. We verify that the conformal symmetry is broken everywhere inside the pulsar as the trace anomaly $Δ>0$, or equivalently the trace of the stress-energy tensor $\mathfrak{T}<0$, whereas the adiabatic sound speed does not violate the conjecture conformal upper limit $v_r^2/c^2 = 1/3$. The maximum compactness accordingly is $C_\text{max}=0.752$ which is $4\%$ higher than GR. Notably, if the conformal sound speed constraint is hold, observational data excludes $ε\geq 0$ up to $\geq 1.6σ$. The stellar model is consistent with the self-bound structure with soft linear equation of state. Investigating possible connection with MIT bag model of strange quarks sets physical bounds from microscopic physics which confirm the negative value of the parameter $ε$. We estimate a radius $R=13.21 \pm 0.96$ km of the most massive observed compact star PSR J0952$-$0607 with $M=2.35\pm0.17 M_\odot$. Finally, we show that the corresponding mass-radius diagram fits well lowest-mass pulsar HESS J1731$-$347 and highest-mass pulsar PSR J0952$-$0607 ever observed as well as the intermediate mass range as obtained by NICER and LIGO/Virgo observations.

description: Colloidal particles with strong, short-ranged attractions can form a gel. We simulate this process without and with hydrodynamic interactions (HI), using the lattice-Boltzmann method to account for presence of a thermalized solvent. We show that HI speed up and slow down gelation at low and high volume fractions, respectively. The transition between these two regimes is linked to the existence of a percolating cluster shortly after quenching the system. However, when we compare gels at matched 'structural age', we find nearly indistinguishable structures with and without HI. Our result explains longstanding, unresolved conflicts in the literature.

description: We construct a class of representations of the Heisenberg algebra in terms of the complex shift operators subject to the proper continuous limit imposed by the correspondence principle. We find a suitable Hilbert space formulation of our construction for two types of shifts: (1) real shifts, (2) purely imaginary shifts. The representations involving imaginary shifts are free of spectrum doubling. We determine the corresponding coordinate and momentum operators satisfying the canonical commutation relations. The eigenvalues of the coordinate operator are in both cases discrete.

description: We consider the interplay of repulsive short-range and same-sign long-range interactions in the dynamics of dark solitons, as prototypical coherent nonlinear excitations in a trapped 1D Bose gas. First, the form of the ground state is examined, and then both the existence of the solitary waves and their stability properties are explored, and corroborated by direct numerical simulations. We find that single- and multiple-dark-soliton states can exist and are generically robust in the presence of long-range interactions. We analyze the modes of vibration of such excitations and find that their respective frequencies are significantly upshifted as the strength of the long-range interactions is increased. Indeed, we find that a prefactor of the long-range interactions considered comparable to the trap strength may upshift the dark soliton oscillation frequency by {\it an order of magnitude}, in comparison to the well established one of $Ω/\sqrt{2}$ in a trap of frequency $Ω$.

description: The 609u 3P1 -> 3P0 line of neutral atomic carbon has been detected in the protoplanetary nebulae CRL 618 and CRL 2688. CI appears to be about 7% as abundant as CO in CRL 2688, and 70% as abundant as CO in CRL 618. CI emission arises primarily from the slow component of the wind from these objects. The data presented here indicate that CI gradually becomes more abundant as the star leaves the AGB, and CI is significantly enhanced relative to CO before the star develops a large HII region.

description: Quantifying the accuracy with which physical properties of asteroids can be determined from thermal modeling is critical to measuring the impact of infrared data on our understanding of asteroids. Previous work (Mainzer et al. 2011b) has used independently-derived diameters (from asteroid radar, occultations, and spacecraft visits) to test the accuracy of the NEOWISE diameter determinations. Here, we present a new and different method for bounding the actual NEOWISE diameter errors in the Main Belt based on our knowledge of the albedos of asteroid families. We show the 1 sigma relative diameter error for the Main Belt population must be less than 17.5% for the vast majority of objects. For a typical uncertainty on H magnitude of 0.2 mag, the relative error on diameter for the population would be ~10%.

Development of the electroweak phase transition and baryogenesis

description: We investigate the evolution of the electroweak phase transition, using a one-Higgs effective potential that can be regarded as an approximation for the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. The phase transition occurs in a small interval around a temperature T_t below the critical one. We calculate this temperature as a function of the parameters of the potential and of a damping coefficient related to the viscosity of the plasma. The parameters that are relevant for baryogenesis, such as the velocity and thickness of the walls of bubbles and the value of the Higgs field inside them, change significantly in the range of temperatures where the first-order phase transition can occur. However, we find that in the likely interval for T_t there is no significant variation of these parameters. Furthermore, the temperature T_t is in general not far below the temperature at which bubbles begin to nucleate.

description: We develop the plasmon-pole approximation (PPA) theory for calculating the carrier self-energy of extrinsic graphene as a function of doping density within analytical approximations to the $GW$ random phase approximation ($GW$-RPA). Our calculated self-energy shows excellent quantitative agreement with the corresponding full $GW$-RPA calculation results in spite of the simplicity of the PPA, establishing the general validity of the plasmon-pole approximation scheme. We also provide a comparison between the PPA and the hydrodynamic approximation in graphene, and comment on the experimental implications of our findings.

Expanded discussions of the use of PPA as a numerical approximation compared with other approximations and clarified that we are developing an analytical approximation for graphene.
