description: Current literature and public discourse on "trust in AI" are often focused on the principles underlying trustworthy AI, with insufficient attention paid to how people develop trust. Given that AI systems differ in their level of trustworthiness, two open questions come to the fore: how should AI trustworthiness be responsibly communicated to ensure appropriate and equitable trust judgments by different users, and how can we protect users from deceptive attempts to earn their trust? We draw from communication theories and literature on trust in technologies to develop a conceptual model called MATCH, which describes how trustworthiness is communicated in AI systems through trustworthiness cues and how those cues are processed by people to make trust judgments. Besides AI-generated content, we highlight transparency and interaction as AI systems' affordances that present a wide range of trustworthiness cues to users. By bringing to light the variety of users' cognitive processes to make trust judgments and their potential limitations, we urge technology creators to make conscious decisions in choosing reliable trustworthiness cues for target users and, as an industry, to regulate this space and prevent malicious use. Towards these goals, we define the concepts of warranted trustworthiness cues and expensive trustworthiness cues, and propose a checklist of requirements to help technology creators identify appropriate cues to use. We present a hypothetical use case to illustrate how practitioners can use MATCH to design AI systems responsibly, and discuss future directions for research and industry efforts aimed at promoting responsible trust in AI.

description: Direct arylation of adenine with fluoro- and chloronitrobenzenes leads to mixtures of N9 and N7 substituted adenines. After separation by column chromatography, the individual isomers can be efficiently hydrogenated on Pd to give the corresponding aminophenyladenines. A significant enhancement of the reaction rate by microwave irradiation was observed. This two-step procedure was found to be a feasible route to otherwise hardly available 7-aminophenyladenines. Correlation between calculated shielding constants and experimental values of chemical shifts in 13C and 15N NMR was used for assignment of the site of substitution.

description: Esterification of carboxylic acid is achieved using acetonitrile as a water trap. Water liberated during esterification is consumed in cyanide hydrolysis, thereby driving the esterification to completion. Substrates having carboxylic acid and nitrile groups undergo intramolecular dehydration and rehydration to amido esters in the absence of acetonitrile. Cyano acids also undergo esterification and Ritter reaction in one pot when excess alcohol is used. For the first time, we have observed an interesting Ritter reaction of primary alcohols, leading to ester amide product in one pot. [Supplementary materials are available for this article.

description: Recommender systems usually face the issue of filter bubbles: overrecommending homogeneous items based on user features and historical interactions. Filter bubbles will grow along the feedback loop and inadvertently narrow user interests. Existing work usually mitigates filter bubbles by incorporating objectives apart from accuracy such as diversity and fairness. However, they typically sacrifice accuracy, hurting model fidelity and user experience. Worse still, users have to passively accept the recommendation strategy and influence the system in an inefficient manner with high latency, e.g., keeping providing feedback (e.g., like and dislike) until the system recognizes the user intention. This work proposes a new recommender prototype called UserControllable Recommender System (UCRS), which enables users to actively control the mitigation of filter bubbles. Functionally, 1) UCRS can alert users if they are deeply stuck in filter bubbles. 2) UCRS supports four kinds of control commands for users to mitigate the bubbles at different granularities. 3) UCRS can respond to the controls and adjust the recommendations on the fly. The key to adjusting lies in blocking the effect of out-of-date user representations on recommendations, which contains historical information inconsistent with the control commands. As such, we develop a causality-enhanced User-Controllable Inference (UCI) framework, which can quickly revise the recommendations based on user controls in the inference stage and utilize counterfactual inference to mitigate the effect of out-of-date user representations. Experiments on three datasets validate that the UCI framework can effectively recommend more desired items based on user controls, showing promising performance w.r.t. both accuracy and diversity.

description: A practical and efficient one-pot synthesis of novel 1,2,3-triazoles featuring nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur functionalized pendant arms has been developed. The click reaction of mono-propargyl derivatives supported by aniline, thiophenol, and benzyl alcohol, with sodium azide and p-substituted benzyl halogenides, renders a series of N-substituted-1,2,3-triazoles in good yields under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst system was based in Cu(OAc)2 · H2O, sodium L-ascorbate, and 1,10-phenanthroline monohydrate, and all reactions were performed in a mixture H2O–ethanol (4:1 v/v). Additionally, the preparation of bis-1,2,3-triazoles supported by di-propargylated aniline was carried out, demonstrating the versatility of the present methodology.

description: A method for consistent quantization of conformal gravity treating conformal symmetry in a very controllable way is presented. First, we discuss local conformal symmetry in the framework of gravitational interactions, where we view it as an example of a general gauge theory. We also present some early attempts at quantization of conformal gravity and use the generalized framework of covariant quantization due to Faddeev and Popov. Some salient issues such as the need for conformal gauge-fixing, an issue with conformal third ghosts, and discontinuities in conformal gravity are studied as well. Finally, we provide some explanations of the original ad hoc methods of computation valid at the first quantum loop level in conformal gravity.

description: A systematic study of the reaction of 1,4-dihydrazinophthalazine (DHPH) with 1,3-dicarbonyls [viz., acetylacetone (acac), dibenzoylmethane (bzbz), and 1-benzoylacetone (bzac)] varying the reaction conditions was carried out to obtain the phthalazine derivatives (1–4). One-pot reaction of DHPH with acac led to the formation of two compounds 1 and 2, with various factors such as the presence of the acid or base, amount of the acac, time of reflux, and the temperature. The reaction conditions of DHPH with bzbz or bzac are sort of different to isolate the products 3 and 4, respectively. The derivatives (1–4) have been characterized by elemental analyses, 1H NMR, and electrospray ionization–mass spectrometry (ESIMS) and the cytotoxic activity of the compounds 1–4 was evaluated on HeLa cell line.

description: Automatic extraction of product attributes from their textual descriptions is essential for online shopper experience. One inherent challenge of this task is the emerging nature of e-commerce products -- we see new types of products with their unique set of new attributes constantly. Most prior works on this matter mine new values for a set of known attributes but cannot handle new attributes that arose from constantly changing data. In this work, we study the attribute mining problem in an open-world setting to extract novel attributes and their values. Instead of providing comprehensive training data, the user only needs to provide a few examples for a few known attribute types as weak supervision. We propose a principled framework that first generates attribute value candidates and then groups them into clusters of attributes. The candidate generation step probes a pre-trained language model to extract phrases from product titles. Then, an attribute-aware fine-tuning method optimizes a multitask objective and shapes the language model representation to be attribute-discriminative. Finally, we discover new attributes and values through the self-ensemble of our framework, which handles the open-world challenge. We run extensive experiments on a large distantly annotated development set and a gold standard human-annotated test set that we collected. Our model significantly outperforms strong baselines and can generalize to unseen attributes and product types.

description: The assessment of natural events that can turn into disasters where people live is usually accompanied by maps visualising the specific topic in its spatial setting and putting the physical environment into the main focus. Such conventional mapping approaches, however, can often fail to give an intuitive understanding of the underlying quantitative dimension of the associated risk to people and a fuller appreciation of the interrelation between humans and their natural environment. The method presented here demonstrates an alternative way of mapping environmental risk. A gridded cartogram approach is introduced and illustrated with examples drawn from data documenting globally significant earthquakes that have occurred since 2150 BC. Gridded cartograms are a new map projection. They are created by starting with an equally distributed grid onto which a density-equalising cartogram technique is applied. Each individual grid cell is resized according to specific quantitative information. The underlying grid ensures the preservation of an accurate geographic reference to the real world. It allows gridded cartograms to be used as basemaps, new projections, onto which other information can be mapped. Earthquake intensity on a gridded population cartogram highlights those zones where most people live in these risk environments and minimises information about where earthquakes still occur, but where they matter less for human populations. Gridded cartograms also allow any other quantitative data to be used in the actual transformation. This is demonstrated with gridded cartograms from earthquake intensity data, resulting in very unusual depictions and new perspectives of the surface of the planet.

description: A 1:12,000 geomorphological map of Fuentes Carrionas (Northern Spain) is presented. Geomorphological landscapes maps are also shown to support map interpretation and show the area's geomorphological diversity. The maps were developed using the IGUL (Institut de Géographie, Université de Lausanne) geomorphological mapping legend. This has been adapted to GIS scheme in order to use the map as a basis for further work. The IGUL legend has been demonstrated to be highly effective for mountain environments where the main morphogenetical agents are dynamic and climatic processes.

description: Exploring the dimensions of landscape history, particularly those reflected in the present spatial reconfiguration, requires the use of models to facilitate its evaluation. Considering heritage as a contemporary production result, in this paper the traces of Roman colonisation in the landscape are apprehended in regard to the present time. More precisely, we focused on the southern Romanian territory which was located at the periphery of the Roman Empire at the time of its maximum extent. Its peculiarity is that, even though it experienced a rather short organisation under the Roman administration, clear spatial traces emerge in the present cultural landscape. The identification of visible landmarks within the landscape was achieved through a combined framework of ancillary documents, cartographic material and archaeological gazetteer data, in an interdisciplinary attempt to produce a spatial correlation between the historical territorial planning and the present landscape. Thus, the most important results of the study include modelling the spatial pattern of Roman continuity in the present landscape.

description: The aim of this paper is to investigate landslide susceptibility mapping in regional scale, considering the spatial stationarity of the relationship between landslide susceptibility and its influencing factors. Landslides are among the most severe natural hazards and their management has a key role to human safety. During the last decades, a significant number of GIS-based methods for landslide susceptibility assessment and mapping have been proposed in the literature. In this paper, contemporary methods for landslide susceptibility analysis have been applied. The latter include global and local regression analysis aiming to study the relationship between landslide occurrence and its determinants. This paper also examines if this relationship is spatial non-stationary via the application of the Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR). The proposed methodology has been applied in the Peloponnese peninsula, in South Greece. To examine the factors responsible for the occurrence of a landslide event; topographic (slope angle, elevation), geological and other environmental variables (land cover, rainfalls) were considered. The results suggest that GWR provides a potential improvement in landslide susceptibility assessment compared to traditional global regression analysis methods.

The derivatives (1–4) have been characterized by elemental analyses, 1H NMR, and electrospray ionization–mass spectrometry (ESIMS) and the cytotoxic activity of the compounds 1–4 was evaluated on HeLa cell line.

description: Task embeddings in multi-layer perceptrons for multi-task learning and inductive transfer learning in renewable power forecasts have recently been introduced. In many cases, this approach improves the forecast error and reduces the required training data. However, it does not take the seasonal influences in power forecasts within a day into account, i.e., the diurnal cycle. Therefore, we extended this idea to temporal convolutional networks to consider those seasonalities. We propose transforming the embedding space, which contains the latent similarities between tasks, through convolution and providing these results to the network's residual block. The proposed architecture significantly improves up to 25 percent for multi-task learning for power forecasts on the EuropeWindFarm and GermanSolarFarm dataset compared to the multi-layer perceptron approach. Based on the same data, we achieve a ten percent improvement for the wind datasets and more than 20 percent in most cases for the solar dataset for inductive transfer learning without catastrophic forgetting. Finally, we are the first proposing zero-shot learning for renewable power forecasts to provide predictions even if no training data is available.

description: This article describes a number of issues encountered when developing maps of past natural phenomena in the field of volcanology. In order to enable experts to exploit geographical data related to this topic, maps showing the temporal chronology of such events are required. Developing useful maps are made more complex by the coexistence of numerous phenomena in the geographic same space over time, which entails the management of spatial overlays, and includes the difficulty of integrating temporal information in static maps. In this article, we present our approach to the overlaying and temporal ordering of natural phenomena presented as information in maps, using the example of lava flow data. These data are derived from a case study of volcanic hazard affecting La Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean. We explore different methods for mapping evolution over time, for instance ‘map collections’ or ‘small multiple maps’, the use of both color or hue and saturation to represent the dates of events, and the use of ‘semi-transparency’ to preserve the representation of past events overlaid one on the other. Legibility and effectiveness of the map were a prime concern in this exploratory analysis.

description: Monitoring of population sizes and trends using conventional surveys is challenging for nocturnal, burrow-nesting seabirds. The White-chinned Petrel is the most commonly killed species in Southern Ocean fisheries and its breeding success at many sites is reduced because of predation by invasive cats and rodents. As adaptive management of such threats requires cost-effective and reproducible protocols for monitoring populations, we examined the potential of automated bioacoustic techniques for measuring colony attendance patterns (relative number of birds visiting at a given time) using data from acoustic recorders deployed over a breeding season at Bird Island, South Georgia. Generic recognition software was of limited utility, but a suite of acoustic indices in a random forest model reliably predicted the occurrence of vocalisations. Vocal activity showed clear temporal patterns, despite high day-to-day variability, and was lowest during the pre-laying period, in the early evening, and on moonlit nights. To facilitate estimation of population density using acoustic recorders, we determined the mean vocalisation rate of individuals (2.3 min−1), mean call length (~15.3 sec), and detection distance (~15 m based on signal to noise ratios of playbacks). Our results indicate that acoustic indices are a useful measure of colony attendance. If these indices can be linked to density, acoustic monitoring would provide a powerful and cost-effective census method for White-chinned Petrels and other nocturnal species.

description: The Noisy Miner (Manorina melanocephala) is a cooperative honeyeater living in social groups throughout south-east Australia that displays high levels of interspecific aggression and reduces avifaunal biodiversity in areas it occupies. Human-induced habitat changes have also potentially increased the availability of high-quality habitat and food resources available for Noisy Miners, which may in turn affect activity budgets and the duration or intensity of aggression displayed by Miners towards other species. To quantify the impact of differences in the potential availability of anthropogenic food resources on Noisy Miner aggression levels, we presented taxidermy models from three different categories of bird species (food competitors, non-food competitors and potential predators) and quantified observed aggression in three separate habitats: natural areas with very limited additional anthropogenic food resources, gardens that provided supplementary resources such as nectar-rich ornamental plants, and cafés that provided access to human food items. As predicted, Noisy Miners exhibited agonistic behaviours for a significantly longer period in the habitats with anthropogenic food resources, namely gardens and cafés in comparison to natural areas. The type of model presented also impacted Miner response, with: (1) greater numbers of Miners mobbing predator rather than competitor models, (2) Miners mobbing predator models for longer periods than competitors, and (3) a greater probability of Miners physically contacting competitor models. These findings demonstrate that additional resources have the ability to impact time budgets of species and, for hyperaggressive birds such as Noisy Miners, can impact biodiversity in more nuanced ways than previously quantified.
Time for a radical reversal of transport priorities

description: Transport problems are a significant cause of discontent in Australia's cities. There is increasing community pressure for improved and extended public transport. Growing traffic volumes are contributing to congestion, local air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, while increasing dependence on insecure oil supplies. The main response to these problems has been to propose massive investment in new infrastructure, particularly roads. The infrastructure-first approach does not appear to be working, since transport problems continue to worsen despite these large investments.

description: Access to drinking water is essential for many avian species in arid landscapes, especially in hot and dry periods when metabolic requirements for water increase. The role of fringing vegetation in facilitating surface water access by arid zone bird communities was investigated over a 14-month period during which water demand increased. Bird visitation to six long-lasting waterholes in the MacDonnell Ranges Bioregion in central Australia was recorded over two summers and one winter using camera traps. Species were assigned to functional classes based on their size and preferred foraging substrate. Generalised linear mixed models were used to test relationships between fringing vegetation variables and the independent trapping events for each functional class. Fringing vegetation was critical for small and intermediate-sized canopy foragers to access waterhole sites. Their activity declined to almost zero in areas where the nearest tree or shrub cover was greater than 10 m. The strength of this relationship was consistent as weather conditions became drier and hotter. However, activity of small and intermediate-sized canopy foragers was negatively related to the percent canopy cover of the nearest tree or shrub, potentially because sparse vegetative cover offers greater visibility when approaching the water’s edge. In contrast, ground forager and raptor activity at waterhole sites was unrelated to surrounding vegetation, and these groups frequently accessed water from open areas. Under future warming scenarios, small and intermediate canopy foragers may be vulnerable to predation if they are forced to access water at sites away from nearby fringing vegetation.

description: In this study an Artificial Neural Network called Self-Organizing Map (SOM) is used in order to classify the synoptic circulation over Europe and especially Eastern Mediterranean. The classification of circulation types is an effective way of summarizing and describing the atmospheric circulation and it is useful in climatology because it provides a better understanding of the climatic variability over an area. Here, the SOM methodology is applied on winter daily geopotential height anomalies of the 500 hPa level, for the period 1971–2000. Twelve unique circulation patterns are identified. Eight of these types are characterized as cyclonic, representing 61% of the total days examined and four types are characterized as anticyclonic, representing 39% of the study period. The results of this classification are comparable to other objective classifications applied on the same study region and present a similar image. Therefore, the SOM methodology is found to be applicable and useful in the classification of circulation types.

description: The aim of this work is to show a proposal for avalanche susceptibility mapping (scale 1:25.000) using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The map to which the article accompanies (Formigal; Sheet 145-I) follows strictly the dimensions of the Spanish Topographic Cartography series at scale 1:25.000. The Formigal-Peyreget area, located in the Central Spanish and French Pyrenees, is one of the Pyrenean regions where avalanche risk is more noticeable. The methodology involves the use of GIS to model avalanche starting zones, including the multi-criteria cateogorisation of four variables: (i) minimum altitude of the regional isotherm of 0°C for the winter months; (ii) slope; (iii) ground cover; (iv) morphology of the slope (curvature). The information presented in the map classifies avalanche start zones susceptibility into four categories: low, moderate, high and very high. This methodology is intended to be used as a reference for the production of future maps of avalanche susceptibility in other regions where the method is deemed appropriate.
Feeling our way to an ecological civilisation

description: A crisis of knowledge and understanding, stretching back for centuries, has crippled our ability to respond to the current ecological crisis. However, the triadic semiosis of CS Peirce, cast as a common language of nature, supports the development of shared, multi-voiced narratives that engage our emotions and imagination. These narratives develop into new habits, and the cultivation of personal and societal qualities lead to transformative actions that reflect our reconnection with the rest of nature. An ecological civilisation follows naturally from our feelings of reconnection.
