description: GitHub is the world's largest host of source code, with more than 150M repositories. However, most of these repositories are not labeled or inadequately so, making it harder for users to find relevant projects. There have been various proposals for software application domain classification over the past years. However, these approaches lack a well-defined taxonomy that is hierarchical, grounded in a knowledge base, and free of irrelevant terms. This work proposes GitRanking, a framework for creating a classification ranked into discrete levels based on how general or specific their meaning is. We collected 121K topics from GitHub and considered $60\%$ of the most frequent ones for the ranking. GitRanking 1) uses active sampling to ensure a minimal number of required annotations; and 2) links each topic to Wikidata, reducing ambiguities and improving the reusability of the taxonomy. Our results show that developers, when annotating their projects, avoid using terms with a high degree of specificity. This makes the finding and discovery of their projects more challenging for other users. Furthermore, we show that GitRanking can effectively rank terms according to their general or specific meaning. This ranking would be an essential asset for developers to build upon, allowing them to complement their annotations with more precise topics. Finally, we show that GitRanking is a dynamically extensible method: it can currently accept further terms to be ranked with a minimum number of annotations ($\sim$ 15). This paper is the first collective attempt to build a ground-up taxonomy of software domains.

description: Choices made by individuals have widespread impacts--for instance, people choose between political candidates to vote for, between social media posts to share, and between brands to purchase--moreover, data on these choices are increasingly abundant. Discrete choice models are a key tool for learning individual preferences from such data. Additionally, social factors like conformity and contagion influence individual choice. Traditional methods for incorporating these factors into choice models do not account for the entire social network and require hand-crafted features. To overcome these limitations, we use graph learning to study choice in networked contexts. We identify three ways in which graph learning techniques can be used for discrete choice: learning chooser representations, regularizing choice model parameters, and directly constructing predictions from a network. We design methods in each category and test them on real-world choice datasets, including county-level 2016 US election results and Android app installation and usage data. We show that incorporating social network structure can improve the predictions of the standard econometric choice model, the multinomial logit. We provide evidence that app installations are influenced by social context, but we find no such effect on app usage among the same participants, which instead is habit-driven. In the election data, we highlight the additional insights a discrete choice framework provides over classification or regression, the typical approaches. On synthetic data, we demonstrate the sample complexity benefit of using social information in choice models.

High Speed Fast Transient Digitizer Design and Simulation
Creators: name: Monahan, Eric Clark
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: In microelectronics, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are used as interfaces to convert analog inputs into discrete time or digital values that can be read via microcontrollers. As speed requirements and processing times in electronics continue to increase, high speed ADCs are increasingly critical components in the design of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). However, high speed ADCs introduce quantization error and are inefficient relative to size, cost, and power dissipation when compared to a High Speed Fast Transient Digitizer (HSFTD).
This thesis presents the design, layout, and simulation of a HSFTD designed to sample, in time at a fast rate, a high-speed analog input signal. The reconstructed, captured signal can then be readout at a much slower rate, for example, around three orders of magnitude. This approach eliminates quantization error in the captured signal and allows slow, low cost, analog-to-digital converters to be used such as those found in microcontrollers. The design uses four interleaved sampling banks, each containing 64 unit cells acting as sequentially triggered capture and hold stages with a typical maximum sampling frequency of 17.1 GHz. The capture stages are initiated via four trigger signals separated by a time delay equal to one-fourth of a unit cell propagation delay. The sampling rate can also be adjusted by tuning a bias generator's external control voltage or changing the value of an off-chip bias resistor. The effective sampling rate of 17.1 GHz results in data captured at 58 ps per unit cell with a minimum capture window of 15 ns for all 256 unit cells. The typical analog input voltage range is from 0 V to 2.2 V with an output range from 2 V to 4.8 V. At room temperature, the RMS value of the thermal noise in the design is limited by an 85.75 fF hold capacitor with kT/C noise resulting in a thermal noise floor of 220 ?V,RMS. The amount of degradation of the unit cell hold capacitor's voltage over time due to leakage is 2.5 mV/100 ?s.

description: Traditionally, the electric distribution system operates with uniform energy prices across all system nodes. However, as the adoption of distributed energy resources (DERs) propels a shift from passive to active distribution network (ADN) operation, a distribution-level electricity market has been proposed to manage new complexities efficiently. In addition, distribution locational marginal price (DLMP) has been established in the literature as the primary pricing mechanism. The DLMP inherits the LMP concept in the transmission-level wholesale market, but incorporates characteristics of the distribution system, such as high R/X ratios and power losses, system imbalance, and voltage regulation needs. The DLMP provides a solution that can be essential for competitive market operation in future distribution systems. This paper first provides an overview of the current distribution-level market architectures and their early implementations. Next, the general clearing model, model relaxations, and DLMP formulation are comprehensively reviewed. The state-of-the-art solution methods for distribution market clearing are summarized and categorized into centralized, distributed, and decentralized methods. Then, DLMP applications for the operation and planning of DERs and distribution system operators (DSOs) are discussed in detail. Finally, visions of future research directions and possible barriers and challenges are presented.

DISTRIBUTION: Sakhalin Isl; Siberia, from the Pechora River to Chukotka, south to the Altai Mtns; Mongolia and NE China; Alaska (USA); Yukon, Northwest Territories (Canada). SYNONYMS: amasari, baikalensis, borealis, centralis, irkutensis, jenissejensis, margarita, middendorfi, parvicaudatus, petschorae, schnitnikovi, sibiriensis, transrypheus, ultimus. COMMENTS: Subgenus Sorex. Youngman (1975) provided evidence that tundrensis is specifically distinct from arcticus. Palearctic populations formerly referred to arcticus were included in tundrensis by Junge et al. (1983). Hoffmann (1987) and van Zyll de Jong (1991b) discussed additional aspects of its taxonomy and distribution. Kozlovskii (1976) found irkutensis and sibiriensis to be karyotypically distinct; possibly two sibling species occur throughout the Palearctic range. Meylan and Hausser (1991) described a karyotype from Canada that is "identical" to some in Siberia.

title: Effects of Ambient Air Pollution on Asthma-Related Emergency Department Visits within the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area

description: The objective of this research was to evaluate the risk for asthma-related Emergency Department visits and their association with ambient air pollution within the Las Vegas metropolitan area. All data were aggregated by date and ZIP Code. The association was analyzed by applying the distributed lag non-linear model in an attempt to identify elevated concentrations of specific air pollutants
as triggers and their delayed effects (lag days). Relative Risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals were produced, while adjusting for socioeconomic status. This ecological population-based study analyzed daily asthma counts of Emergency Department visits from January 1st, 2009 to December 31st, 2014 (N= 109,550). The exposure-outcome analysis found that when PM10 reaches 265 μg/m3, RR is greater than 1, between 0-2 days lag, dissipates, and peaks between 5-7 days lag. At initial exposure, PM10 had a RR of 2.83 (95% CI = 1.11, 7.20). At 7 days lag, PM10 reached a RR of 2.91 (95% CI= 1.21, 7.02), supporting that these associations present a non-linear lag effect. Understanding the adverse effects caused by elevated concentrations of criteria air pollutants, particularly when they exceed federal standards, and recognizing that a lag time exists, is a call to action for healthcare providers to educate their patients as to proper exposure prevention strategies and the development of tailored asthma management plans.

The Untold History of Nevada's Shield Statute
Creators: name: Ward, Matthew Travis
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: The history of American journalism is replete with anecdotes about news reporters enduring jail and other penalties to protect the identities of confidential sources of information. Since as early as the American Revolution journalists have often found themselves at odds with established authority. In the political cauldron of the late 1960s and early 1970s, U.S. government intrusion into the news gathering process was widespread. The notion the First Amendment protected journalists from revealing sources was invalidated by the Supreme Court's 1972 decision in Branzburg v. Hayes. Many states throughout the nation reacted by codifying a reporter's privilege. Nevada did so in 1969, protecting members of the working media from having to divulge confidences to the government. The statute was revised in 1975 to cover former media members, but the law has remained unchanged since, despite much technological innovation and economic changes in the media industry. This study tells the untold story of Nevada's shield statute, the 1968 news story that sparked the quiet crusade for its passage, and the not-so quiet efforts in 1975 to make the already strong protections even stronger. It details as well a later unsuccessful attempt to modernize the law.

description: We present observations of 36 late-M dwarfs obtained with the KeckII/NIRSPEC in the J-band at a resolution of \sim20,000. We have measured projected rotational velocities, absolute radial velocities, and pseudo-equivalent widths of atomic lines. 12 of our targets did not have previous measurements in the literature. For the other 24 targets, we confirm previously reported measurements. We find that 13 stars from our sample have vsini below our measurement threshold (12 km/s) whereas four of our targets are fast rotators (vsini > 30 km/s). As fast rotation causes spectral features to be washed out, stars with low projected rotational velocities are sought for radial velocity surveys. At our intermediate spectral resolution we have confirmed the identification of neutral atomic lines reported in Mclean et al. 2007. We also calculated pseudo-equivalent widths (p-EW) of 12 atomic lines. Our results confirm that the p-EW of K I lines are strongly dependent on spectral types. We observe that the p-EW of Fe I and Mn I lines remain fairly constant with later spectral type. We suggest that those lines are particularly suitable for deriving metallicities for late-M dwarfs.

description: Nowadays, the shipbuilding industry is facing a radical change towards solutions with a smaller environmental impact. This can be achieved with low emissions engines, optimized shape designs with lower wave resistance and noise generation, and by reducing the metal raw materials used during the manufacturing. This work focuses on the last aspect by presenting a complete structural optimization pipeline for modern passenger ship hulls which exploits advanced model order reduction techniques to reduce the dimensionality of both input parameters and outputs of interest. We introduce a novel approach which incorporates parameter space reduction through active subspaces into the proper orthogonal decomposition with interpolation method. This is done in a multi-fidelity setting. We test the whole framework on a simplified model of a midship section and on the full model of a passenger ship, controlled by 20 and 16 parameters, respectively. We present a comprehensive error analysis and show the capabilities and usefulness of the methods especially during the preliminary design phase, finding new unconsidered designs while handling high dimensional parameterizations.

description: To capture the inherent geometric features of many community detection problems, we propose to use a new random graph model of communities that we call a Geometric Block Model. The geometric block model builds on the random geometric graphs (Gilbert, 1961), one of the basic models of random graphs for spatial networks, in the same way that the well-studied stochastic block model builds on the Erdős-R\'{en}yi random graphs. It is also a natural extension of random community models inspired by the recent theoretical and practical advancements in community detection. To analyze the geometric block model, we first provide new connectivity results for random annulus graphs which are generalizations of random geometric graphs. The connectivity properties of geometric graphs have been studied since their introduction, and analyzing them has been more difficult than their Erdős-R\'{en}yi counterparts due to correlated edge formation. We then use the connectivity results of random annulus graphs to provide necessary and sufficient conditions for efficient recovery of communities for the geometric block model. We show that a simple triangle-counting algorithm to detect communities in the geometric block model is near-optimal. For this we consider the following two regimes of graph density. In the regime where the average degree of the graph grows logarithmically with the number of vertices, we show that our algorithm performs extremely well, both theoretically and practically. In contrast, the triangle-counting algorithm is far from being optimum for the stochastic block model in the logarithmic degree regime. We simulate our results on both real and synthetic datasets to show superior performance of both the new model as well as our algorithm.

description: In the author's Ph.D., a version of the tangential LS category for foliated spaces depending on a transverse invariant measure, called the measured category, was introduced. Unfortunately, the measured category vanishes easily. When it is zero, the rate of convergence to zero of the quantity involved in the definition, by taking arbitrarily large homotopies, gives a new invariant, called the secondary measured category. Several versions of classical results are proved for the secondary measured category. It is also shown that the secondary measured category is a transverse invariant related to the growth of (pseudo)groups. The equality between secondary category and the growth of a group is done in the case of free suspensions by Rohlin groups.

description: For soft robots to work effectively in human-centered environments, they need to be able to estimate their state and external interactions based on (proprioceptive) sensors. Estimating disturbances allows a soft robot to perform desirable force control. Even in the case of rigid manipulators, force estimation at the end-effector is seen as a non-trivial problem. And indeed, other current approaches to address this challenge have shortcomings that prevent their general application. They are often based on simplified soft dynamic models, such as the ones relying on a piece-wise constant curvature (PCC) approximation or matched rigid-body models that do not represent enough details of the problem. Thus, the applications needed for complex human-robot interaction can not be built. Finite element methods (FEM) allow for predictions of soft robot dynamics in a more generic fashion. Here, using the soft robot modeling capabilities of the framework SOFA, we build a detailed FEM model of a multi-segment soft continuum robotic arm composed of compliant deformable materials and fiber-reinforced pressurized actuation chambers with a model for sensors that provide orientation output. This model is used to establish a state observer for the manipulator. Model parameters were calibrated to match imperfections of the manual fabrication process using physical experiments. We then solve a quadratic programming inverse dynamics problem to compute the components of external force that explain the pose error. Our experiments show an average force estimation error of around 1.2%. As the methods proposed are generic, these results are encouraging for the task of building soft robots exhibiting complex, reactive, sensor-based behavior that can be deployed in human-centered environments.

description: In the present work we revisit the issue of the self-trapping dynamical transition at a nonlinear impurity embedded in an otherwise linear lattice. For our Schrödinger chain example, we present rigorous arguments that establish necessary conditions and corresponding parametric bounds for the transition between linear decay and nonlinear persistence of a defect mode. The proofs combine a contraction mapping approach applied in the fully dynamical problem in the case of a 3D-lattice, together with variational arguments for the derivation of parametric bounds for the creation of stationary states associated with the expected fate of the self-trapping dynamical transition. The results are relevant for both power law nonlinearities and saturable ones. The analytical results are corroborated by numerical computations.

Magnetic field reversals and galactic dynamos

description: We argue that global magnetic field reversals similar to those observed in the Milky Way occur quite frequently in mean-field galactic dynamo models that have relatively strong, random, seed magnetic fields that are localized in discrete regions. The number of reversals decreases to zero with reduction of the seed strength, efficiency of the galactic dynamo and size of the spots of the seed field. A systematic observational search for magnetic field reversals in a representative sample of spiral galaxies promises to give valuable information concerning seed magnetic fields and, in this way, to clarify the initial stages of galactic magnetic field evolution.

description: We consider modifications, for example blow ups, of Mori dream spaces and provide algorithms for investigating the effect on the Cox ring, e.g. testing finite generation or computing an explicit presentation in terms of generators and relations. As a first application, we compute the Cox rings of all Gorenstein log del Pezzo surfaces of Picard number one. Moreover, we show computationally that all smooth rational surfaces of Picard number at most six are Mori dream surfaces and we provide explicit presentations of the Cox ring for those not admitting a torus action. Finally, we provide the Cox rings of projective spaces blown up at a certain special point configurations.

A Nonlinear Force-Free Magnetic Field Approximation Suitable for Fast Forward-Fitting to Coronal Loops. II. Numeric Code and Tests
Creators: name: Aschwanden, Markus J.
name: Malanushenko, Anna
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Based on a second-order approximation of nonlinear force-free magnetic field solutions in terms of uniformly twisted field lines derived in Paper I, we develop here a numeric code that is capable to forward-fit such analytical solutions to arbitrary magnetogram (or vector magnetograph) data combined with (stereoscopically triangulated) coronal loop 3D coordinates. We test the code here by forward-fitting to six potential field and six nonpotential field cases simulated with our analytical model, as well as by forward-fitting to an exactly force-free solution of the Low and Lou (1990) model. The forward-fitting tests demonstrate: (i) a satisfactory convergence behavior (with typical misalignment angles of $μ\approx 1^\circ-10^\circ$), (ii) relatively fast computation times (from seconds to a few minutes), and (iii) the high fidelity of retrieved force-free $α$-parameters ($α_{\rm fit}/α_{\rm model} \approx 0.9-1.0$ for simulations and $α_{\rm fit}/α_{\rm model} \approx 0.7\pm0.3$ for the Low and Lou model). The salient feature of this numeric code is the relatively fast computation of a quasi-forcefree magnetic field, which closely matches the geometry of coronal loops in active regions, and complements the existing {\sl nonlinear force-free field (NLFFF)} codes based on photospheric magnetograms without coronal constraints.

Wideband Audio Waveform Evaluation Networks: Efficient, Accurate Estimation of Speech Qualities

description: Wideband Audio Waveform Evaluation Networks (WAWEnets) are convolutional neural networks that operate directly on wideband audio waveforms in order to produce evaluations of those waveforms. In the present work these evaluations give qualities of telecommunications speech (e.g., noisiness, intelligibility, overall speech quality). WAWEnets are no-reference networks because they do not require ``reference'' (original or undistorted) versions of the waveforms they evaluate. Our initial WAWEnet publication introduced four WAWEnets and each emulated the output of an established full-reference speech quality or intelligibility estimation algorithm. We have updated the WAWEnet architecture to be more efficient and effective. Here we present a single WAWEnet that closely tracks seven different quality and intelligibility values. We create a second network that additionally tracks four subjective speech quality dimensions. We offer a third network that focuses on just subjective quality scores and achieves very high levels of agreement. This work has leveraged 334 hours of speech in 13 languages, over two million full-reference target values and over 93,000 subjective mean opinion scores. We also interpret the operation of WAWEnets and identify the key to their operation using the language of signal processing: ReLUs strategically move spectral information from non-DC components into the DC component. The DC values of 96 output signals define a vector in a 96-D latent space and this vector is then mapped to a quality or intelligibility value for the input waveform.

description: We consider a general compressible viscous and heat conducting fluid confined between two parallel plates and heated from the bottom. The time evolution of the fluid is described by the Navier--Stokes--Fourier system considered in the regime of low Mach and Froude numbers suitably interrelated. Surprisingly and differently to the case of Neumann boundary conditions for the temperature, the asymptotic limit is identified as the Oberbeck--Boussinesq system supplemented with non--local boundary conditions for the temperature deviation.

Topology, Delocalization via Average Symmetry and the Symplectic Anderson Transition

description: A field theory of the Anderson transition in two dimensional disordered systems with spin-orbit interactions and time-reversal symmetry is developed, in which the proliferation of vortex-like topological defects is essential for localization. The sign of vortex fugacity determines the $Z_2$ topological class of the localized phase. There are two distinct, but equivalent transitions between the metallic phase and the two insulating phases. The critical conductivity and correlation length exponent of these transitions are computed in a $N=1-ε$ expansion in the number of replicas, where for small $ε$ the critical points are perturbatively connected to the Kosterlitz Thouless critical point. Delocalized states, which arise at the surface of weak topological insulators and topological crystalline insulators, occur because vortex proliferation is forbidden due to the presence of symmetries that are violated by disorder, but are restored by disorder averaging.

3-D Upper Airway Comparison between Class I and Class II Adults with Excessive Daytime Sleepiness
Creators: name: Nguyen, Nga
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: Objective: The aim of the study is to determine whether there is a relationship between the risk for daytime sleepiness in adults with Class I and Class II malocclusion and the airway volume, minimum cross-sectional area, and shape at the minimum cross sectional area.
Introduction: Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a category of conditions defined by airway complications while a person is sleeping. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common of these disorders and is defined as the presence of repeated episodes of complete or partial airway obstruction, which may be associated with loud snoring and daytime sleepiness. Daytime sleepiness has been identified in 50% of obstructive sleep apnea patients. Prevalence of OSA in the adult population suggests that 9% of females and 24% of males are affected. Some of the risk factors for OSA in adults include obesity, age, and nasal blockage. Mandibular retrognathism and obesity are the major risk factors for OSA. In addition, the neck circumference is a confirmed risk factor for OSA in patients.
OSA treatment includes CPAP (Continuous positive air pressure) which is considered the gold standard for treatment. Other treatments include oral appliances and in some cases, orthognathic surgery for mandibular advancement.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 87 patients 18-60 years of age. The patient's skeletal classification was determined using the Dolphin imaging software. Patients were classified into either skeletal class I or class II based on ANB and Wits values. ANB angle of 0¡ to 5¡ is considered class I and ANB angle of >5¡ is considered class II. The patient's risk for daytime sleepiness was identified using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. A score of 11 or greater in the Epworth Sleepiness Scale indicates a high possibility of excessive daytime sleepiness. A score of less than 11 indicates a low possibility of excessive daytime sleepiness. Then Anatomage's InVivo software was used to measure the total airway volume, minimum cross-sectional area, and shape of the airway at the minimum cross-sectional area.
Results: There were significant interactions in the total airway volume (p
Conclusions: Skeletal classification and risk have significant impact on airway volume and minimum cross-sectional area, but they do not have an impact on cross section shape. Patients with skeletal Class II have a smaller mean difference in airway volume and minimum cross-sectional area than patients who are skeletal Class I in high risk vs. low risk.
