A grammar of Paunaka
Creators: name: Terhart, Lena
Publisher: name: Freie Universität Berlin
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: detailed grammatical description of Paunaka
subject: 400 Sprache::410 Linguistik::410 Linguistik

description: Synopsis: This book offers the first detailed grammatical description of Paunaka, an Arawakan language spoken (in 2023) by eight people in the Chiquitania region in the lowlands of Eastern Bolivia. The grammar builds on material collected during several fieldwork trips between 2009 and 2020 by the team of the Paunaka Documentation Project, which was funded by the ELDP from 2011–2013. This material includes roughly 120 hours of audio and video recordings, which have been archived at ELAR. In 2022, the dissertation on which this book is based received the annual Research Award at the Europa-Universität Flensburg. The grammar provides a description of the phonology, morphology, and syntax of Paunaka, including numerous comparative remarks to closely related languages. It includes over 1500 examples, most of them accompanied by a brief description of their original linguistic or extralinguistic context.

description: In order to enhance the understanding of membrane fouling mechanism, the hydrodynamics of granular flow in a stirred enzymatic membrane reactor was numerically investigated in the present study. A three-dimensional Euler-Euler model, coupled with k-e mixture turbulence model and drag function for interphase momentum exchange, was applied to simulate the two-phase (fluid-solid) turbulent flow. Numerical simulations of single- or two-phase turbulent flow under various stirring speed were implemented. The numerical results coincide very well with some published experimental data. Results for the distributions of velocity, shear stress and turbulent kinetic energy were provided. Our results show that the increase of stirring speed could not only enlarge the circulation loops in the reactor, but it can also increase the shear stress on the membrane surface and accelerate the mixing process of granular materials. The time evolution of volumetric function of granular materials on the membrane surface has qualitatively explained the evolution of membrane fouling.

description: In general relativity producing a regular bounce entails violation of Null Energy Condition for a dynamical source in the model. That generically indicates existence of ghosts or other instabilities. However, in cuscuton modification of gravity, the correspondence between a background bounce and violation of Null Energy Condition for dynamical sources is broken. Cuscuton is an Infra Red modification and it can make the background go through a regular bounce. At the same time, since it does not contain any dynamical degrees of freedom, it does not lead to ghosts or other instabilities. Here, we present a toy scenario of a regular bouncing cosmology and prove this claim. Our model is presented as a proof of concept at this point and does not aim to explain observations in late time cosmology.

description: We consider linear cocycles taking values in driven by homeomorphic transformations of a smooth manifold, in discrete and continuous time. We show that any discrete-time cocycle can be extended to a continuous-time cocycle, while preserving its characteristic properties. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition under which this extension is canonical in the sense that the base is extended to an associated suspension flow and that the discrete-time cocycle is recovered as the time-1 map of the continuous-time cocycle. Further, we refine our general result for the case of (quasi-)periodic driving. We use our findings to construct a non-uniformly hyperbolic continuous-time cocycle in over a uniquely ergodic driving.

description: In recent years, the Constraint Programming (CP) and Operations Research (OR) communities have explored the advantages of combining CP and OR techniques to formulate and solve combinatorial optimization problems. These advantages include a more versatile modeling framework and the ability to combine complementary strengths of the two solution technologies. This research has reached a stage at which further development would benefit from a general-purpose modeling and solution system. We introduce here a system for integrated modeling and solution called SIMPL. Our approach is to view CP and OR techniques as special cases of a single method rather than as separate methods to be combined. This overarching method consists of an infer-relax-restrict cycle in which CP and OR techniques may interact at any stage. We describe the main features of SIMPL and illustrate its usage with examples.

description: We study the production of gauge boson pairs at the next generation of linear $e^+e^-$ colliders operating in the $eγ$ mode. The processes $eγ\rightarrow VV^\prime F$ ($V,V^\prime =W$, $Z$, or $γ$ and $F=e$ or $ν$) can give valuable information on possible deviations of the quartic vector boson couplings from the Standard Model predictions. We establish the range of the new couplings that can be explored in these colliders based on a $3σ$ effect in the total cross section. We also present several kinematical distributions of the final state particles that could manifest the underlying new dynamics. Our results show that an $eγ$ collider can extend considerably the bounds on anomalous interactions coming from oblique radiative corrections and from direct searches in $e^+e^-$ colliders.

PhyloKey: a novel method to rapidly and reliably identify species in complex, species-rich genera, and an opportunity for ‘non-molecular museomics’

description: We present a novel identification tool called PhyloKey, based on the method of morphology-based, phylogenetic binning developed within the software package RAxML. This method takes a reference data set of species for which both molecular and morphological data are available, computes a molecular reference tree, maps the morphological characters on the tree, and computes weights based on their level of consistency versus homoplasy using maximum likelihood (ML) and maximum parsimony (MP). Additional units for which only morphological data are known are then binned onto the reference tree, calculating bootstrap support values for alternative placements. This approach is modified here to work as an identification tool which uses the same character coding approach as interactive keys. However, rather than identifying individual samples through a progressive filtering process when entering or selecting characters, query samples are binned in batch mode to all possible alternative species in the tree, with each placement receiving a bootstrap support adding to 100% for all alternative placements. In addition to the fact that, after scoring a character matrix, a large number of specimens can be identified at once in short time, all possible alternative identifications are immediately apparent and can be evaluated based on their bootstrap support values. We illustrate this approach using the basidiolichen genus Cora, which was recently shown to contain hundreds of species. We also demonstrate how the PhyloKey approach can aid the restudying of herbarium samples, adding further value to these collections and contributing with large quantitative data matrices to ‘non-molecular museomics’. Our analysis showed that PhyloKey identifies species correctly with as low as 50% of the characters sampled, depending on the nature of the reference tree and the character weighting scheme. Overall, a molecular reference tree worked best, but a randomized reference tree gave more consistent results, whereas a morphological reference tree performed less well. Surprisingly, even character weighting gave the best results, followed by parsimony weighting and then maximum likelihood weighting.

description: We study the nature of the electroweak phase transition (EWPT) in models where the Higgs emerges as a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson of an approximate global symmetry of a new strongly-interacting sector confining around the TeV scale. Our analysis focusses for the first time on the case where the EWPT is accompanied by the confinement phase transition of the strong sector. We describe the confinement in terms of the dilaton, the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson of spontaneously broken conformal invariance of the strong sector. The dilaton can either be a meson-like or a glueball-like state and we demonstrate a significant qualitative difference in their dynamics. We show that the EWPT can naturally be strongly first-order, due to the nearly-conformal nature of the dilaton potential. Furthermore, we examine the sizeable scale variation of the Higgs potential parameters during the EWPT. In particular, we consider in detail the case of a varying top quark Yukawa coupling, and show that the resulting CP violation is sufficient for successful electroweak baryogenesis. We demonstrate that this source of CP violation is compatible with existing flavour and CP constraints. Our scenario can be tested in complementary ways: by measuring the CP-odd top Yukawa coupling in electron EDM experiments, by searching for dilaton production and deviations in Higgs couplings at colliders, and through gravitational waves at LISA.

description: We examine the life cycle costs, environmental discharges, and deaths of moving coal via rail, coal gas via pipeline, and electricity via wire from the Powder River Basin (PRB) in Wyoming to Texas. Which method has least social cost depends on how much additional investment in rail line, transmission, or pipeline infrastructure is required, as well as how much and how far energy is transported. If the existing rail lines have unused capacity, coal by rail is the cheapest method (up to 200 miles of additional track could be added). If no infrastructure exists, greater distances and larger amounts of energy favor coal by rail and gasified coal by pipeline over electricity transmission. For 1,000 miles and 9 gigawatts of power, a gas pipeline is cheapest, has less environmental discharges, uses less land, and is least obtrusive.
Towards Learning with Limited Supervision: Efficient Few-shot and Semi-supervised Classification for Vision Tasks

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University

Subjects: Computer Engineering

description:  
Vision classification tasks, a fundamental and transformative aspect of deep learning and computer vision, play a pivotal role in our ability to understand the visual world. Deep learning techniques have revolutionized the field, enabling unprecedented accuracy and efficiency in vision classification. However, deep learning models, especially supervised models, require large amounts of labeled data to learn effectively. The acquisition of large-scale datasets meets many difficulties considering the dynamics in real-world applications. Collecting and annotating data is a time-consuming and expensive process, which sometimes requires domain-specific expertise to provide a sufficient quantity of high-quality labeled data. Meanwhile, privacy and ethical concerns hinder data acquisition in certain domains, such as healthcare or finance. Learning with limited supervision addresses these challenges by developing techniques that allow models to learn and make predictions with only a partial or a small number of supervision.
In this presentation, we will introduce our research, which encompasses several advancements within the domain of learning with limited supervision. Initially, we introduce a novel fine-tuning method tailored to enhance the efficiency of few-shot learning, particularly in cross-domain scenarios. Building upon this, we extend our comprehension of few-shot fine-tuning into the transductive setting. Here, we present innovative weighting techniques to harness the potential of unlabeled data during the testing phase. In addition, we confront the intricate balance between data quality and quantity when leveraging unlabeled training data in semi-supervised learning. To address this challenge, we introduce the SoftMatch method, which allows for the adaptive integration of unlabeled data during training.

description: It is shown that the height scale for accretion disks is a constant whenever hydrostatic equilibrium and sub-sonic turbulence regime hold in the disk. In order to have a variable height scale, processes that do contribute with an extra term to the continuity equation are needed. This makes the viscosity parameter much greater in the outer region and much smaller in the inner region. Under these circumstances, turbulence is a presumable source of viscosity in the disk.

description: Flicker light stimulation (FLS) is a non-pharmacological method of inducing altered states of consciousness (ASCs), producing hallucination-like phenomena as well as effects extending beyond the visual modality, including emotional effects. Research into the psychological and neural mechanisms of FLS is still in its infancy, but can be informed by research into other methods of inducing ASCs. For instance, research on classic psychedelics has reported enhancement of emotional responses to music. Here, we test to what degree FLS might also enhance the emotional response to music, using a study protocol designed to resemble a previous study on the effects of LSD as closely as possible, to allow for comparison of effect sizes across modalities and inform future research into FLS as an ASC-induction method. Twenty participants listened to emotionally evocative music in two conditions – with and without FLS – and reported on their emotional response to the music. FLS showed a significant enhancing effect on reported music-evoked emotion, especially emotions relating to “Joyful Activation”; additionally, we found that the experienced intensity of FLS correlated with reports of higher levels of emotional arousal. These findings motivate further research into FLS as a method for inducing ASCs and into the interactions between visual phenomena and music-evoked emotion.

description: We propose two distinct atom interferometer gravitational wave detectors, one terrestrial and another satellite-based, utilizing the core technology of the Stanford $10 \text{m}$ atom interferometer presently under construction. The terrestrial experiment can operate with strain sensitivity $ \sim \frac{10^{-19}}{\sqrt{\text{Hz}}}$ in the 1 Hz - 10 Hz band, inaccessible to LIGO, and can detect gravitational waves from solar mass binaries out to megaparsec distances. The satellite experiment probes the same frequency spectrum as LISA with better strain sensitivity $ \sim \frac{10^{-20}}{\sqrt{\text{Hz}}}$. Each configuration compares two widely separated atom interferometers run using common lasers. The effect of the gravitational waves on the propagating laser field produces the main effect in this configuration and enables a large enhancement in the gravitational wave signal while significantly suppressing many backgrounds. The use of ballistic atoms (instead of mirrors) as inertial test masses improves systematics coming from vibrations and acceleration noise, and reduces spacecraft control requirements.

description: The intrinsic peak luminosity of Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) depends on the value of Newton's gravitational constant $G$, through the Chandrasekhar mass $M_{\rm Ch}\propto G^{-3/2}$. If the luminosity distance can be independently determined, the SNIa can be treated as a tracker to constrain the possible time variation of $G$ in different redshift ranges. The gravitational-wave (GW) standard sirens, caused by the coalescence of binary neutron stars, provide a model-independent way to measure the distance of GW events, which can be used to determine the luminosity distances of SNIa by interpolation, provided the GW and SNIa samples have similar redshift ranges. We demonstrate that combining the GW observations of third-generation detectors with SNIa data provides a powerful and model-independent way to measure $G$ in a wide redshift range, which can constrain the ratio $G/G_0$, where $G$ and $G_0$ are respectively the values in the redshift ranges $z>0.1$ and $z<0.1$, at the level of $1.5\%$.

description: Quantifying energy flows at nanometer scales promises to guide future research in a variety of disciplines, from microscopic control and manipulation, to autonomously operating molecular machines. A general understanding of the thermodynamic costs of nonequilibrium processes would illuminate the design principles for efficient microscopic machines. Considerable effort has gone into finding and classifying the deterministic control protocols that drive a system rapidly between states at minimum energetic cost. But for autonomous microscopic systems, driving processes are themselves stochastic. Here we generalize a linear-response framework to incorporate such protocol variability, deriving a lower bound on the work that is realized at finite protocol duration, far from the quasistatic limit. Our findings are confirmed in model systems. This theory provides a thermodynamic rationale for rapid operation, independent of functional incentives.

subject: 400 Sprache::410 Linguistik::410 Linguistik

description: Synopsis: This study investigates the properties of a set of Italian adverbs (among others: pure ‘also’, solo ‘only’, un po’ ‘a bit’) that, in specific contexts of use, modify the speech acts in which they appear. On the one hand, these elements specify the way in which a speech act should be interpreted with reference to the specific interactional context, modifying its illocutionary force. On the other hand, they index presupposed/inferred meanings active in the common ground of the interaction, integrating the speech act in the common ground. These functions closely resemble those of the elements that, especially in the German linguistic tradition, are called modal particles. Drawing on original data from Italian – both from the standard language and regional varieties – the goal of the study is to describe the synchronic features of these elements and to explain the emergence of the modal uses. For this purpose, it jointly employs theoretical notions of pragmatics (speech act theory, inferences in interaction), models of language change (reanalysis and conventionalization) and the descriptive tools of sociolinguistic approaches. Through the presentation of four case studies, integrating corpus and questionnaire data, the present work gives a thorough analysis of the modal functions and the contexts of use of the adverbs under investigation: it explores their role at the semantics/pragmatics interface, it discusses their place in a layered model of grammar and it examines their distribution across different language varieties.

description: Aim: The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of tongue lesions in tobacco and non-tobacco users and to evaluate the prevalence of various tobacco related habits in different age groups. Materials and Methods:Atotal of 500 patients aged >18 years of both sexes were screened on the basis of consecutive sampling with a prepared proforma and were divided into 2 groups as tobacco users and non-tobacco users. All the patients were clinically screened and tongue changes were diagnosed. Few tongue lesions were confirmed histopathologically. Statistically, Chi-square test, unadjusted odds ratio and univariate logistic regression analysis were performed. Results: Coated tongue was found to be the highest in both the groups, followed by pigmented tongue in the tobacco user group. Smoking and chewing tobacco were more prevalent in 50-60 years of age. Smoking alone was more prevalent in <30 years of age. Conclusion: The prevalence of tongue lesions was significantly higher in tobacco users than in non-users. This enlightens the need for few community awareness health programs at a larger scale more concentrating on the areas of lacunae

description: Managers in the music industry closely monitor both radio airplay of an album as well as the album's sales. Their interest in radio airplay is due to the belief that airplay can increase an album’s sales. Therefore it is natural for managers to attempt to influence radio airplay so as to subsequently impact album sales and ultimately profits. Over the past several years the concept of “pay-for-play” has resurfaced. If direct payments for radio airplay are to be made, then a precise understanding of the dynamic relationship between sales and airplay is needed. Typically radio airplay and album sales both show an exponential declining pattern. It is natural to ask whether both series are evolving concurrently–but independently–or is there some type of dependence? If there is a causal relationship, what is the direction of causality, or is there be a feedback relationship where both series influence each other? The purpose of this paper is to address these modeling questions using vector autoregressive models (VARMA), and show how these models can be used to answer the substantive question of whether the music industry should pay for airplay.

description: Synopsis: This book is an investigation into aspects of prosody, intonation and the prosody-syntax interface in Totoli, an endangered Austronesian language. With a strongly data-driven approach, the study integrates a combination of experimental evidence from both production and perception with corpus-based evidence through descriptive and inferential statistics. The study takes the prime structuring unit of speech – the Intonation Unit – as its principal unit of investigation. It presents a thorough description of the IU, develops an intonational model of it, and investigates the syntactic units it contains. The author argues that the data is best analysed by assuming recursive embedding of Intonation Units into Compound Intonation Units. This research represents a significant advancement in our understanding of the nature of prosodic systems found in the languages of the region and in intonational systems in general. It is one of the few investigations into the intonation of Austronesian languages and its analytical proposals are relevant both to prosodic theory and to phonological typology.
A Physical Model for the Spectral-Timing Properties of Accreting Black Holes

description: We develop new techniques to deconvolve the radial structure of the X-ray emission region in the bright low/hard state of the black hole Cygnus X-1 using both spectral and timing data in the 3-35~keV range. The spectrum at these energies is dominated by Comptonisation rather than the disc, but there is a complex pattern in the time lags between different energy bands and differences in the normalisation and shape in the power spectra of these bands, which clearly shows that the Comptonisation is not produced from a single, homogeneous region. We use a physically based model of density fluctuations propagating through a spectrally inhomogeneous flow, setting the spectral components by jointly fitting to the time-averaged and Fourier resolved spectra. The predicted variability in any band is modelled analytically in Fourier space so it can be fit directly to the observed power spectra and lags. We find that the best fit model picks out three distinct radii in the flow, each with a distinct Compton spectrum. The variability and luminosity produced at these radii is enhanced, while propagation of fluctuations from larger radii is suppressed. We associate these radii with the disc truncation, the inner edge of the flow, and (more speculatively) the jet launch radius. These distinct radii are most evident where the source is close to a transition between the low/hard and high/soft states. We suggest that the smoother power spectra seen at lower luminosities imply that the source structure is simpler away from the transition.

The last 5 Gyr of Galactic chemical evolution based on H II region abundances derived from a temperature independent method

description: Most of the chemical evolution models are not very reliable for the last 5~Gyr of galactic evolution; this is mainly because abundance gradients found in the literature show a big dispersion for young objects; a big culprit of this is the dispersion found in HII region gradients. Part of this dispersion arises from two different methods used to determine O/H in HII regions: the direct method (DM), based on forbidden lines; and the temperature independent method (TIM), based on permitted lines; the differences between these two methods are about 0.25~dex. We present two chemical evolution models of our galaxy to fit the O/H gradients of HII regions, one obtained from the DM and the other obtained from the TIM. We find that the model based on the TIM produces an excellent fit to the observational stellar constraints (B-stars, Cepheids, and the Sun), while the model based on the DM fails to reproduce them. Moreover the TIM model reproduces the flattening observed in the 3-6 kpc galactocentric range; this flattening is attained with an inside-out star formation quenching in the inner disk starting ~ 9 Gyr ago.

Should Firms Share Information About Expensive Customers? An Equilibrium Analysis

description: Advances in information technology increasingly allow firms to identify expensive, high-cost customers, who are not only individually less profitable for firms but also raise the average marginal cost incurred by firms and thus impose a negative externality on inexpensive customers. Should competing firms share information that identifies such customers? The answer to this question has important implications for firm profitability, consumer welfare, and privacy laws that currently constrain firms’ ability to share information. Considering consumers to be heterogeneous in terms of the cost they impose on firms, this paper presents an analytical model to examine the conditions in which two differentiated Bertrand competitors prefer to share information. The firms’ incentives to share information differ according to the degree of product differentiation, the relative proportion of expensive customers in the market, the relative marginal cost of selling to expensive customers and the level of noise in the information. When firms sell substitutable products a Prisoner’s Dilemma results. The competing firms unilaterally benefit from sharing information, but the benefits from reneging on an information-sharing agreement are even higher; paradoxically, in equilibrium, both firms therefore keep their information private. A third-party agency such as an industry trade association might serve to supervise and coordinate information-sharing agreements between competing firms. In contrast, when the firms sell complementary products, they always have an incentive to share information. Importantly, this paper establishes that information sharing decreases the welfare of expensive customers but increases that of inexpensive customers. Privacy laws thus protect expensive customers more than inexpensive customers. In certain conditions, the aggregate consumer welfare might increase, when firms share information identifying expensive customers. This research recommends relatively weaker, not stronger, privacy laws, which is counterintuitive to the recommendations of the popular press.

Quantum Phase Transition between (Luttinger) Liquid and Gas of Cold Molecules

description: We consider cold polar molecules confined in a helical optical lattice similar to those used in holographic microfabrication. An external electric field polarizes molecules along the axis of the helix. The large-distance inter-molecular dipolar interaction is attractive but the short-scale interaction is repulsive due to geometric constraints and thus prevents collapse. The interaction strength depends on the electric field. We show that a zero-temperature second-order liquid-gas transition occurs at a critical field. It can be observed under experimentally accessible conditions.

description: Synopsis: Current research in grammatical analysis and sociolinguistics points to two core characteristics of language that seem incommensurable at first sight: (1) research on linguistic structure indicates internal organisation and coherence, and the workings and interactions of distinct grammatical systems, but (2) sociolinguistic research suggests that language borders and bound ‘languages’ are counterfactual social constructs that cannot capture the diversity and fluidity of actual language use. This seems to constitute something like a “quantum-linguistic” paradox: language systems aren’t real (they are just ideological constructions), but at the same time, they are a reflection of actual structure. This book shows how this paradox can be resolved through an architecture that allows for grammatical systems without presupposing language borders: this architecture puts communicative situations, rather than languages, at the core of linguistic systematicity, while named languages are captured as optional sociolinguistic indices. The approach builds on insights from “free-range” language, a metaphor for language in settings that are less confined by monoglossic ideologies. The author looks at four different kinds of settings: urban markets, heritage language settings, multiethnic adolescent peer-groups, and digital social media. Central lessons to be learned from such free-range language settings are: (1) communicative situations support linguistic differentiation and can thus be the basis for fluid registers; (2) grammatical systematicity is grounded in communicative situations and does not require bound languages and linguistic borders; (3) named ‘languages’ can emerge as social indices signalling belonging, but this is an optional, not a necessary development.

description: It is a great pleasure to appear again before this committee. The committee, has long advocated and worked for a more responsible budget position. The Chairman has co-sponsored an excellent proposal for tax reform that would strengthen the economy and raise standards of living permanently by encouraging saving and investment. The focus of that reform is long-term. I believe that is the proper focus and, as I will comment presently, if we are going to solve our major economic problems, we must focus on the long-term. Currently the economy enjoys robust growth with low inflation. Growth of employment is strong. Productivity has increased. The budget deficit has fallen.
