description: A series of glycosyl alkyl/triazol-linked icaritin derivatives have been designed and synthesised. The target glycosyl derivatives were evaluated for their anticancer activity against three human cancer cell lines. The results of preliminary anticancer tests in vitro revealed that mannose derivatives 10a–10c (100 μM) with different aliphatic chain lengths exhibited increased cytotoxicity against HepG2 and SK-OV-3 cells compared with the parent compound icaritin. The data indicated that the kind of glycosyl groups and linkers affected the anticancer potency significantly. The ADME analysis of derivatives 10a–10c was also performed.

description: Note: I have derived a faster and more versatile algorithm that solves this problem, and does not use Sage. It will be posted soon as a preprint on PeerJ, and the code for it is available here: https://github.com/klocey/partitions/blob/master/Python/partitions.py. A preprint of a manuscript revealing a conceptually simple and comparatively fast algorithm for generating uniform random integer partitions with restricted numbers of parts. Currently, no mathematical software includes a function to do this. From combing the literature and peer help cites, though the question has been asked, it doesn't appear to have been solved. It, at least, has not been implemented into a straightforward computing algorithm. I derive the algorithm, provide a generic code representation for it, provide a specific Python based implementation, and compare the performance to the random partitioning function of Sage (a powerful and generally very fast computer algebra environment). Figures and table are placed at the end of the paper. Despite being accurate and comparitively very fast, the function herein that implements the algorithm can be made faster. Finally, and the reason I tagged macroecology, maxent, and economics, I reveal how random integer partitioning algorithms such as this can and have already been used to address current and meaningful problems in the natural and social sciences. Also, the pseudo-code needs work.

Accuracy of Point and Line Measures of Boundary Layer Cloud Amount.

Publisher: name: American Meteorological Society
Year: 2011

description: Many authors have used upward-looking instruments, such as a laser ceilometer, to estimate the cover of fairweather cumuli, but little has been mentioned as to the accuracy of these measurements. Results are presented, using a simulated cloud field and a virtual aircraft, that show that sampling errors can be very large for averaging times commonly used with surface instruments. A set of empirical equations is found to provide an estimate of the errors associated with averaging time and earth cover. These relationships can be used to design observation strategies (averaging time or flight-leg length) that provide earth-cover estimates within desired error bounds. These results are used to guide a comparison between earth cover measured by an airborne upward-looking pyranometer and earth cover observed by airborne scientists in a research aircraft. In general, the agreement between these two methods is good. Copyright 2002 American Meteorological Society (AMS).

description: With this paper, we present a novel approach for efficiently creating reality-based, high-fidelity urban 3D models for interactive VR cycling simulations. The foundation of these 3D models is accurately georeferenced street-level imagery, which can be captured using vehicle-based or portable mapping platforms. Depending on the desired type of urban model, the street-level imagery is either used for semi-automatically texturing an existing city model or for automatically creating textured 3D meshes from multi-view reconstructions using commercial off-the-shelf software. The resulting textured urban 3D model is then integrated with a real-time traffic simulation solution to create a VR framework based on the Unity game engine. Subsequently, the resulting urban scenes and different planning scenarios can be explored on a physical cycling simulator using a VR helmet or viewed as a 360-degree or conventional video. In addition, the VR environment can be used for augmented reality applications, e.g., mobile augmented reality maps. We apply this framework to a case study in the city of Berne to illustrate design variants of new cycling infrastructure at a major traffic junction to collect feedback from practitioners about the potential for practical applications in planning processes.

description: Background: Dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) are major brainstem monamine nuclei consisting of serotonin and dopamine neurons respectively. Animal studies show that firing patterns in both nuclei are altered when animals exhibit depression like behaviors. Functional MRI studies in humans have shown reduced VTA activation and DRN connectivity in depression. This study for the first time aims at investigating the functional integrity of local neuronal firing concurrently in both the VTA and DRN in vivo in humans using spectral analysis of resting state low frequency fluctuation fMRI. Method: A total of 97 medication-free subjects-67 medication-free young patients (ages 18-30) with major depressive disorder and 30 closely matched healthy controls were included in the study to detect aberrant dynamics in DRN and VTA. For the investigation of altered localized dynamics we conducted power spectral analysis and above this spectral cross correlation between the two groups. Complementary to this, spectral dependence of permutation entropy, an information theoretical measure, was compared between groups. Results: Patients displayed significant spectral slowing in VTA vs. controls (p = 0.035, corrected). In DRN, spectral slowing was less pronounced, but the amount of slowing significantly correlated with 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating scores of depression severity (p = 0.038). Signal complexity as assessed via permutation entropy showed spectral alterations inline with the results on spectral slowing. Conclusion: Our results indicate that altered functional dynamics of VTA and DRN in depression can be detected from regional fMRI signal. On this basis, impact of antidepressant treatment and treatment response can be assessed using these markers in future studies.

Observations and linear analysis of sill-generated internal tides and estuarine flow in Haro Strait
Creators: name: Pawlowicz, Rich
Publisher: name: American Geophysical Union
Year: 2011

description: Current meter records from two sets of observations 20 years apart in Haro Strait, British Columbia, Canada, are analyzed. Haro Strait is a deep channel separated from larger bodies of water on either side by relatively shallow sills. The estuarine flow in this region is in approximate geostrophic balance and is apparently unaffected by the tidally driven spring/neap cycle in vertical stratification. Strong baroclinic variability with an amplitude 1 m s-1 (close to the amplitude of the barotropic tide) is present. A linear theory for internal tides in silled basins is developed using no-bottom-flow boundary conditions to represent sill effects. By comparison with observations it is concluded that an internal tide is generated at the seaward sill and propagates inshore. Although local damping appears to be weak, no return signal is found from the inshore sill, suggesting that either dissipation is strong in that area or that the internal tide is transmitted across that sill.

description: The purpose of this evaluation was to assess the implementation of the Injury Surveillance Pilot Project (ISPP) in its mission to describe the burden of injury among persons presenting at selected Emergency Departments (ED) in British Columbia. Overall, the ISPP with the Emergency Department Injury Surveillance System (EDISS) at its core was able to collect data that were for the most part error-free with a capture rate of over 82 percent. Recommendations include the need for continued funding to allow for data collection to continue, continued training of Health Records personnel to improve the coding of selected data elements, and continued automation of the database. Obstacles encountered include an overall provincial shortage of Health Records staff, the adoption of ICD-10 injury codes, and various job actions and contract negotiations with the provincial government. Overall, the evaluation provides a positive outlook for the ISPP.

Representation of the quasi-biennial oscillation in the tropical stratospheric wind by nonlinear principal component analysis
Creators: name: Hamilton, Kevin
name: Hsieh, William W.
Publisher: name: American Geophysical Union
Year: 2016

description: The zonal winds at several levels between 70 and 10 hPa (roughly 20–30 km) measured at near-equatorial stations during 1956–2000 were analyzed to produce a one-dimensional approximation. The neural network-based technique applied was the circular nonlinear principal component analysis (NLPCA.cir) designed to characterize quasiperiodic phenomena. The reconstructed height-time series of wind based on the one-dimensional NLPCA.cir captures many of the characteristic features of the observed quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO). The nonlinear results were evaluated relative to comparable linear principal component analysis and found to produce a superior one-dimensional representation of the data. The NLPCA.cir analysis produces a single time series of QBO phase based on data at all levels. This phase was then applied to demonstrate a strong correlation of the state of the tropical QBO and boreal winter high-latitude stratospheric temperatures.

TRLS: A TIME SERIES REPRESENTATION LEARNING FRAMEWORK  VIA SPECTROGRAM FOR MEDICAL SIGNAL PROCESSING
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: Representation learning frameworks in unlabeled time series have been proposed for medical signal processing. Despite the numerous excellent progresses have been made in previous works, we observe the representation extracted for the time series still does not generalize well. In this paper, we present a Time series (medical signal) Representation Learning framework via Spectrogram (TRLS) to get more informative representations. We transform the input time-
domain medical signals into spectrograms and design a time-frequency encoder named Time Frequency RNN (TFRNN) to capture more robust multi-scale representations from the augmented spectrograms. Our TRLS takes spectrogram as input with two types of different data augmentations and maximizes the similarity between positive ones, which effectively circumvents the problem of designing negative samples. Our evaluation of four real-world medical signal datasets focusing on medical signal classification shows that TRLS is superior to the existing frameworks.

„Inside-Outside" or „Outsiders by choice"? Civil society strategies towards the 2nd Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) in Manila
Creators: name: Rother, Stefan
Publisher: name: Asien
Year: 2022

description: „Global governance" and the „migration and development nexus" are among the latest buzzwords in academia and policy discourses alike. The 2nd Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD), held in October 2008 in Manila, provided an ample litmus test for these concepts. In a way, the GFMD - a new, non-binding forum which was deliberately established outside the realm of the UN - is testimony itself to the hitherto failed attempts at establishing a "global governance" of migration. Still, it provides a perspective, albeit a vague one, for a possible way out of the gridlock between the sending and receiving states of migrants. Civil society organizations (CSOs), on the other hand, have succeeded in using - and significantly expanding - the political space provided by the GFMD for advocacy, networking and various forms of protest. Even though Manila became the site of an impressive display of the organizational power and global scope of migrant CSOsfor almost two weeks, the severe divisions in the migrant movement became apparent as well: the cleavages run between those actors employing an „inside-outside" strategy towards GFMD and those positioning themselves as "outsiders by choice" in total opposition to the process. Thus, Philippine domestic politics and cleavages were intertwined with the global issues of migration and development.

Fördert Dezentralisierung lokale Entwicklung? Der Fall der philippinischen Provinzen Cebu und Leyte
Creators: name: Lange, Andreas
Publisher: name: ASIEN: The German Journal on Contemporary Asia
Year: 2022

description: The Philippines are one of the most decentralized industrializing countries. Yet, findings on the impact on local economic development remain mixed. This paper's aim is to ask whether the two analyzed Philippine provinces Cebu and Leyte could benefit from the increased local autonomy to upgrade their local economies. They differed in their starting conditions at the beginning of the decentralization reform in 1991. While Cebu began to industrialize after 1986, Leyte's economy remained oriented to natural resource extraction and agriculture. Despite these socioeconomic differences, both provinces suffer from institutional infirmities in their local planning system to promote local development. These manifest themselves in various capacity constraints, such as coordination and cooperation patterns or a lack of data and knowledge resources. Differences exist in terms of financial means, as more developed areas dispose of a larger tax base. Nevertheless, the decentralization reform offered new room for maneuver for local elites. The dynamic Cebuano elite used the political and legal opportunities more successfully than elites in Leyte.

description: Unconventional participation is by no means regime-threatening per se, not even in an authoritarian regime like China. On the contrary, the Chinese government has been able to generate legitimacy by tolerating certain forms of unconventional participation and by localizing responsibility for solving conflicts. The current leadership in Beijing has chosen these strategies to channel protests, co-opt civic society and avoid blame - complementary to rather repressive forms of governance. An evaluation of protest events shows that she has succeeded in containing protests quantitatively as well as qualitatively (i.e. in scope and potential threat to the political system) by extension of opportunities to air grievances.

Transnationale Frauenbewegung in Malaysia

Publisher: name: ASIEN: The German Journal on Contemporary Asia
Year: 2022

description: National women's movements are increasingly practising transnational networking. By doing so, particular interests which were formally confined to be articulated in a national political arena, are now defined as shared interests of transnational concern. The article argues that transnational networking provides a window of opportunity for the formulation of strategies and the framing of a movement's goals. In the long run, political opportunity structures on the national level may change because of pressure arising from the international exposure of a country's stance towards women's rights. A crucial condition, however, is the ability of a movement to mobilize resources in order to sustain its activities in a national as well as transnational context. By and large, the rationale of social movement theories applies to national and transnational movements alike.

Nonlinear multichannel singular spectrum analysis of the tropical Pacific climate variability using a neural network approach
Creators: name: Hsieh, William W.
name: Wu, Aiming
Publisher: name: American Geophysical Union
Year: 2016

description: Singular spectrum analysis (SSA), a linear (univariate and multivariate) time series technique, performs principal component analysis (PCA) on an augmented data set containing the original data and time-lagged copies of the data. Neural network theory has meanwhile allowed PCA to be generalized to nonlinear PCA (NLPCA). In this paper, NLPCA is further extended to perform nonlinear SSA (NLSSA): First, SSA is applied to reduce the dimension of the data set; the leading principal components (PCs) of the SSA then become inputs to an NLPCA network (with a circular node at the bottleneck). This network performs the NLSSA by nonlinearly combining all the input SSA PCs. The NLSSA is applied to the tropical Pacific sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) field and to the sea level pressure anomaly (SLPA) field for the 1950–2000 period. Unlike SSA modes, which display warm and cool periods of similar duration and intensity, NLSSA mode 1 shows the warm periods to be shorter and more intense than the cool periods, as observed for the El Niño-Southern Oscillation. Also, in SSTA NLSSA mode 1 the peak warm event is centered in the eastern equatorial Pacific, while the peak cool event is located around the central equatorial Pacific, an asymmetry not found in the individual SSA modes. A quasi-triennial wave of about a 39 month period is found in NLSSA mode 2 of the SSTA and of the SLPA. An edited version of this paper was published by AGU.

description: An older paper from the ISSA 2006 conference that wasn't archived anywhere. I recently started extending this work towards a journal publication but thought it worth having the original available somewhere as well. ABSTRACT: There are many dialectical games and correspondingly there are many dialogical situations in which the games can be deployed. These situations include a range of differing dialogue types and social circumstances in which a dialogue may occur. This paper investigates the ways that cumulativeness is exhibited in a range of formal dialectic games and how the notion of cumulativeness can be applied to the classification problem determining which groups of dialectical games are most suitably applied to a given dialogical situation. Building on the features identified in the extant games analysis, some elements of a theory of cumulativeness are identified and presented in the context of a computational framework for dialectical game implementation called the Architecture for Argumentation. Finally a number of problems are identified to which the class of cumulative dialectical games could be usefully applied.

description: This article deals with the rise of new democratic media activism in South Korea in the 1990s and 2000s. The concept of democratic media activism refers to pro-democratic reform movements that advocate equal access to the mass media in particular the Internet. While most studies in this field focus on the political consequences of the Internet in South Korea, this article examines the creation of new media practices by individual and collective actors from the social movement sector. The first section discusses the relationship between mass media, public sphere, and democracy from a sociological perspective. The second section provides a historical outline of the media reform movement before the democratic regime change of 1987. The third section describes the change of the media environment after democratization, the diffusion of the Internet, and the rise of new forms of collective protest in the late 1990s. Based on a correspondence and network analysis of major campaigns and protest events, the fourth section presents a social map of new democratic media activism where the leading social agents and their political orientations are identified and described.

description: Grammars in a broad sense (specifications of structural commitments) are complex artefacts that define software languages. Assessing and improving their quality in an automated, non-idiosyncratic manner is an unsolved problem which we face in an especially acute form in the case of mass maintenance of hundreds of heterogeneous grammars (parser specs, ADTs, metamodels, XML schemata, etc) in the Grammar Zoo. In an attempt to apply software language engineering methods to solve a software language engineering problem, we design a language for grammar mutations capable of applying uniform intentional transformations in the scope of a big grammar or a corpus of grammars. In this paper, we describe a disciplined process of engineering such a language by systematic reuse of semantic components of another existing software language. The constructs of the reference language are analysed and classified by their intent, each category of constructs is then subjected to rewriting. This process results in a set of constructs that form the new language.

description: “Who publishes, remains” – at least when the written text is printed by a prestigious publisher. This is especially true in scholarly publishing, where impact factors and the reputation of a journal or publishing house often determine scholars’ careers. Open-access models like “Diamond OA” advocate for a more diverse and colourful publishing landscape. What real impact can projects like these have on the way we publish, particularly in the scientific realm?

description: Currently, personalized image generation methods mostly require considerable time to finetune and often overfit the concept resulting in generated images that are similar to custom concepts but difficult to edit by prompts. We propose an effective and fast approach that could balance the text-image consistency and identity consistency of the generated image and reference image. Our method can generate personalized images without any fine-tuning while maintaining the inherent text-to-image generation ability of diffusion models. Given a prompt and a reference image, we merge the custom concept into generated images by manipulating cross-attention and self-attention layers of the original diffusion model to generate personalized images that match the text description. Comprehensive experiments highlight the superiority of our method.

description: Models of the allocation of household resources use as a decision rule either the maximization of a household utility function (Becker, 1964) or the solution to a Nash-bargaining game (McElroy and Horney, 1981). The literature on residential mobility has exclusively used the former to analyze the household’s decision to change location. This is despite the strong empirical evidence that allocations in other areas are more consistent with the bargaining model. In this paper we use micro-data from Taipei, Taiwan to determine which approach is most appropriate for studying housing mobility decisions. We compare the mobility decisions of nuclear and different types of extended family households to test whether the social and economic roles of different generations affect the household decision process, as is consistent with the bargaining approach. In doing so, we analyze household mobility with a richer description of household structure than is found in the current literature, which implicitly treats households as either a nuclear family or some smaller unit. Our results support the bargaining model of household decision making. Conditional probabilities differ between nuclear and extended families, when a member of the eldest generation in an extended household is the household head, and when a member of the eldest generation contributes to household earnings. Of these we find that economic status is paramount to social status.

Software Language Engineering by Intentional Rewriting

description: We describe a disciplined process of engineering a software language. This is done by systematic reuse of semantic components of another existing language. The constructs of the reference language are analysed and classified by their intent, each category of constructs is then subjected to rewriting. This process results in a set of constructs that form the new language. In the paper, this method is applied to a grammar programming framework XBGF. Normally, grammar programming is based on specifying changes as parameters of a transformation operator chosen from a predefined operator suite. Each of those operators contains an applicability condition and the actual rewriting rule. In this paper, we consider automating grammar transformations into grammar mutations. We classify the existing transformation operators into five groups and systematically define new mutations based on four of them. In the end, we have obtained an arsenal of automated intentional grammar manipulation strategies. This paper is submitted to RTA 2013 and is currently under review.
Ensemble Analysis of Forecast Errors Related to Floating Point Performance.

description: The dynamical core of the Mesoscale Compressible Community (MC2) model is described. Ensemble forecast techniques for high-resolution mesoscale simulations are applied to assess the impact of floating point optimization, mathematics libraries, and processor configuration on forecast accuracy. It is shown that the iterative solver in the dynamical core is most sensitive to processor configuration, but it also shows weak sensitivity to the usage of fast mathematics libraries and floating point instruction reordering. Semi-implicit pressure solver errors are amplified in the physical parameterization package, which is sensitive to small pressure differences and feeds back to the dynamical solution. In this case, local rms spreads are around 1°C in temperature by the end of a 42-h forecast. It is concluded that careful validation is required when changing computing platforms or introducing fast mathematics libraries. Copyright 2002 American Meteorological Society (AMS).

description: For a single free scalar field in $d \geq 2$ dimensions, almost all the unitary conformal defects must be trivial. The only possible exceptions are monodromy defects in $d \geq 4$ and co-dimension three defects in $d \geq 5$. As an intermediate result we show that the $n$-point correlation functions of a conformal theory with a generalized free spectrum must be those of the generalized free theory.
EFFECT OF TAX REVENUE ON NIGERIAN PUBLIC DEBT
Creators: name: Unamma, Amaka Nkiru

Publisher: name: SADI Journal
Year: 2024
Subjects: Value-added tax, Excise duty and Nigerian public debt

description: The study determined the effect of tax revenue on Nigerian public debt. Specifically, the study assessed the effects of value-added tax and excise duty on Nigerian public debt. Data were extracted from annual reports and accounts of Federal Inland Revenue Service and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from 1999 to 2022. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) multiple regression was employed to test the hypotheses. The study showed that Custom and Excise Duty (CED) has negative significant effect on public debt. However, the study found that value added tax had no significant effect on Nigerian public debt. Based on the result, the study recommended among others that Nigerian government should keep using the money it receives from customs and excise duties to fund infrastructure projects in the areas of health, education, and other areas that will stimulate the economy and raise government revenue

Does the lender matter? : lender type and home office location and real estate development lending
Creators: name: Somerville, Tsur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia. Centre for Urban Economics and Real Estate
Year: 2017

description: Inter-regional expansion and merger and acquisition activity triggered by regulatory reforms are changing the structure of North America’s financial industry. Increases in concentration and the belief that large and small financial institutions specialize in distinct segments of the lending market has raised concerns among some that these industry changes will have real effects on the availability and access to credit for distinct classes of borrowers, especially smaller firms. This paper examines this issue by looking at differences across lenders in the financing of residential construction by lender type and home office, local vs. out-of-province, location. The analysis has two components. The first is a descriptive data analysis for evidence that smaller, local lenders provide capital to more marginal and infra-marginal borrowers. The second is a test of whether lenders active in multiple jurisdictions allocate loan capital for real estate efficiently. The paper uses data on over 1,300 senior and junior construction loans in the Vancouver, BC Canada metropolitan area to evaluate these issues. We find that local lenders do seem to behave differently, charging lower spreads and extending credit to more marginal or less well capitalized developers. However, contrary to the claims of many Vancouver developers, lenders in Central Canada did not limit credit to British Columbia when their home real estate markets turned down in the late 1980's and early 1990's. Rather the opposite, the lending volume and market share in the Vancouver market of lenders based outside of British Columbia rose when the relative condition of their home markets worsened.
Short outline for Eyring based Metabolic Theory equations

description: An unpublished document explaining the basis for an Eyring equation-based refinement to the Metabolic Theory of Ecology (MTE) framework. This idea would allow activation energy to vary across temperature, and hence, potentially account for the curvilinear nature of MTE temperature-rate/richness relationships while maintaining the chemical reaction-rate basis of MTE. I have since let this project go idle, but still think it is a cool idea worth picking up and sharing. I do not assume that math contained herein is absolutely without error.
