description: We develop a technique to measure radial velocities of stars from spectra that present four sets of lines. The algorithm is an extension of the two-dimensional cross-correlation method TODCOR to four dimensions. It computes the correlation of the observed spectrum against a combination of four templates with all possible shifts, and allows also for the derivation of the light ratios of the components. After testing the algorithm and demonstrating its ability to measure Doppler shifts accurately even under conditions of heavy line blending, we apply it to the case of the quadruple-lined system HD 110555. The primary and secondary components of this previously known visual binary (separation about 0.4 arcsec) are each shown to be double-lined spectroscopic binaries with periods of 57 days and 76 days, respectively, making the system a hierarchical quadruple. The secondary in the 76-day subsystem contributes only 2.5% to the total light, illustrating the ability of the method to measure velocities of very faint components.

description: Muellerian inhibiting substance (MIS), also known as Anti-Muellerian hormone, is a testicular protein responsible for the regression of the MUllerian duct. In vivo and in vitro experiments using MIS have shown it to inhibit the growth of various tumors, including certain ovarian cancers. Two approaches to purifying the product have been used, immunoaffinity purification and chromatography. The purified products were tested for affinity to binding sites using the enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA). The goal of this study was to test the theory that the two MIS proteins identified, termed IAP and Q, were different on structural and molecular levels. The results of these investigations reveal the existence of two distinct types of MIS differentiated by ELISA which based on future study may have different impacts as cancer treatment agents.

description: Cross-resolution face recognition (CRFR), which is important in intelligent surveillance and biometric forensics, refers to the problem of matching a low-resolution (LR) probe face image against high-resolution (HR) gallery face images. Existing shallow learning-based and deep learning-based methods focus on mapping the HR-LR face pairs into a joint feature space where the resolution discrepancy is mitigated. However, little works consider how to extract and utilize the intermediate discriminative features from the noisy LR query faces to further mitigate the resolution discrepancy due to the resolution limitations. In this study, we desire to fully exploit the multi-level deep convolutional neural network (CNN) feature set for robust CRFR. In particular, our contributions are threefold. (i) To learn more robust and discriminative features, we desire to adaptively fuse the contextual features from different layers. (ii) To fully exploit these contextual features, we design a feature set-based representation learning (FSRL) scheme to collaboratively represent the hierarchical features for more accurate recognition. Moreover, FSRL utilizes the primitive form of feature maps to keep the latent structural information, especially in noisy cases. (iii) To further promote the recognition performance, we desire to fuse the hierarchical recognition outputs from different stages. Meanwhile, the discriminability from different scales can also be fully integrated. By exploiting these advantages, the efficiency of the proposed method can be delivered. Experimental results on several face datasets have verified the superiority of the presented algorithm to the other competitive CRFR approaches.

Automating knowledge acquisition and representation with fuzzy logic

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: An interactive computer program has been developed to automate the construction of knowledge bases in expert system development. The program incorporates many user friendly features which allow users who may not understand the concepts of fuzzy logic or the complexity of the knowledge acquisition process to develop useful and complete Expert Systems. Expert systems formalism are being successfully used in the industry. A major bottleneck in development of these systems lies in the knowledge acquisition phase. This study presents an induction system, based on fuzzy logic, which successfully automates the knowledge acquisitions process when the domain knowledge is embodied within discrete numerical data. A tabloid database representing some desired input/output relationship is input to the system. Fuzzy expressions such as "high", "low" or "large" are either created automatically by the system or described explicitly by the user. These fuzzy expressions are automatically associated into an accurate and minimum rule set which models the desired input/output relationship. The system was tested on the development of a knowledge base for a secondary crusher controller and a second more complex non-monotonic input/output relationship. In the controller example the knowledge bases developed were simpler, more accurate and built much faster than using a traditional interview approach. The non-monotonic relationship was also accurately described by a simple knowledge base.

description: Seizures are one of the defining symptoms in patients with epilepsy, and due to their unannounced occurrence, they can pose a severe risk for the individual that suffers it. New research efforts are showing a promising future for the prediction and preemption of imminent seizures, and with those efforts, a vast and diverse set of features have been proposed for seizure prediction algorithms. However, the data-driven discovery of nonsinusoidal waveforms for seizure prediction is lacking in the literature, which is in stark contrast with recent works that show the close connection between the waveform morphology of neural oscillations and the physiology and pathophysiology of the brain, and especially its use in effectively discriminating between normal and abnormal oscillations in electrocorticographic (ECoG) recordings of epileptic patients. Here, we explore a scalable, energy-guided waveform search strategy on spatially-projected continuous multi-day ECoG data sets. Our work shows that data-driven waveform learning methods have the potential to not only contribute features with predictive power for seizure prediction, but also to facilitate the discovery of oscillatory patterns that could contribute to our understanding of the pathophysiology and etiology of seizures.

description: The Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations are used for a number of theoretical works on the trapped Bose-Einstein condensates. These equations are known to give the energies of the quasi-particles when all the eigenvalues are real. We consider the case in which these equations have complex eigenvalues. We give the complete set including those modes whose eigenvalues are complex. The quantum fields which represent neutral atoms are expanded in terms of the complete set. It is shown that the state space is an indefinite metric one and that the free Hamiltonian is not diagonalizable in the conventional bosonic representation. We introduce a criterion to select quantum states describing the metastablity of the condensate, called the physical state conditions. In order to study the instability, we formulate the linear response of the density against the time-dependent external perturbation within the regime of Kubo's linear response theory. Some states, satisfying all the physical state conditions, give the blow-up and damping behavior of the density distributions corresponding to the complex eigenmodes. It is qualitatively consistent with the result of the recent analyses using the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation.

description: Persistent activation of the transcription factor STAT 3 is a common feature of prostate cancer and may play a direct role in malignant transformation. However, little is known about the targets that are critical mediators of STAT 3 in transformation. To answer this question, a constitutively active mutant of STAT 3, STAT 3-C, was introduced into non-tumorigenic prostate epithelial cells (RWPE-1). It was found that: (1) STAT 3-C induces transformation and morphological changes including increased lamellipodia; (2) STAT 3-C expression leads to increased migration; (3) Fibronectin (FN) and intergrin beta 6 (ITGB6) expression are increased in STAT 3-C expressing cells and can potentiate cell migration. Taken together, these results identify possible STAT 3 targets that may mediate its role in oncogenesis.

He was that rare breed of the true performer-scholar who remained active as a composer, jazz pianist, and conductor, nurturing the boyhood talents of now-prominent Scottish musicians Donald Runnicles and James MacMillan in the latter capacity. Following his retirement in 2002, he even wrote a novel about the adolescence of Alban Berg, which currently remains unpublished.

Methodology of the Indices of Social Development

Publisher: name: International Institute of Social Studies
Year: 2012

description: In recent years, international organizations, think-tanks, and the social sciences have contributed to a dramatic expansion in the range of composite indices measuring concepts such as human development, governance, or social capital. This paper discusses challenges faced in the design of composite indices, and suggests the method known as matching percentiles as a solution to the problem of how to aggregate social institutional data. We produce a set of indices measuring the health of five dimensions of social development: civic activism, clubs and associations, inter-group cohesion, interpersonal safety and trust, and gender equity. We then conduct a series of diagnostic tests which demonstrate the robustness of the new measures, and assess their degree of construct validity.

Review of Ignacio Corona and Alejandro Madrid, eds. 2008. Postnational Musical Identities: Cultural Production, Distribution, and Consumption in a Globalized Scenario. Lanham: Lexington Books
Creators: name: Garland, Shannon
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2010

description: In Postnational Musical Identities, Ignacio Corona and Alejandro Madrid bring together twelve scholars working with (primarily) popular music in (primarily) Mexico and Latin America to consider the relationship between music, identity, and globalization. Assuming that identity is inherent to human subjectivity, the editors analyze the relationship between ethnic and national musical identifications and the globalizing processes that might rearrange, reinscribe, or call into question such correlations. Corona and Madrid layout their frames for thinking about globalization and music (i.e., “The Idea of the Postnational,” “Music Scholarship in Times of Postnationality,” and “The Collapse of Grand Narratives in Popular Music”) in the introductory chapter, “The Postnational Turn in Music Scholarship and Music Marketing.” They rely heavily on cultural studies and postmodernist scholars such as Stuart Hall (1996) and Frederick Jameson (1998), on pop music scholars drawing on these tradition such as Tony Mitchell (1996); on Appadurai’s (1990) basic charter for an anthropology of globalization (his famous “-scapes” framework); and on Hardt and Negri’s (2000) vision of the “postnational,” neoliberal political-economic order.

description: The interplay of different electronic phases underlies the physics of unconventional superconductors. One of the most intriguing examples is a high-Tc superconductor FeTe1-xSex: it undergoes both a topological transition, linked to the electronic band inversion, and an electronic nematic phase transition, associated with rotation symmetry breaking, around the same critical composition xc where superconducting Tc peaks. At this regime, nematic fluctuations and symmetry-breaking strain could have an enormous impact, but this is yet to be fully explored. Using spectroscopic-imaging scanning tunneling microscopy, we study the electronic nematic transition in FeTe1-xSex as a function of composition. Near xc, we reveal the emergence of electronic nematicity in nanoscale regions. Interestingly, we discover that superconductivity is drastically suppressed in areas where static nematic order is the strongest. By analyzing atomic displacement in STM topographs, we find that small anisotropic strain can give rise to these strongly nematic localized regions. Our experiments reveal a tendency of FeTe1-xSex near x~0.45 to form puddles hosting static nematic order, suggestive of nematic fluctuations pinned by structural inhomogeneity, and demonstrate a pronounced effect of anisotropic strain on superconductivity in this regime.

description: Recent advances in Reinforcement Learning (RL) combined with Deep Learning (DL) have demonstrated impressive performance in complex tasks, including autonomous driving. The use of RL agents in autonomous driving leads to a smooth human-like driving experience, but the limited interpretability of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) creates a verification and certification bottleneck. Instead of relying on RL agents to learn complex tasks, we propose HPRL - Hierarchical Program-triggered Reinforcement Learning, which uses a hierarchy consisting of a structured program along with multiple RL agents, each trained to perform a relatively simple task. The focus of verification shifts to the master program under simple guarantees from the RL agents, leading to a significantly more interpretable and verifiable implementation as compared to a complex RL agent. The evaluation of the framework is demonstrated on different driving tasks, and NHTSA precrash scenarios using CARLA, an open-source dynamic urban simulation environment.

Josephson effect for superconductors lacking center of inversion

description: Due to the absence of a center of inversion in some superconducting compounds, a p-wave admixture to the dominant d-wave order parameter must exist. If time-reversal is also violated, an allowed invariant is the product of the d-wave, p-wave and an appropriately directed current. We show that this leads to an anomalous Josephson current for tunneling along the direction parallel to the axis of the p-wave component, where the current is the Meissner current and the Josephson loop current along the surface of the tunnel barrier. These ideas are applied to the superconducting state of the cuprates in the pseudogap region of the phase diagram where in the normal phase some experiments have detected a time-reversal and inversion symmetry broken phase. The effect is relevant also to heavy-fermion compounds which lack center of inversion due to crystalline symmetry.

description: Research on Machine Translation (MT) has achieved important breakthroughs in several areas. While there is much more to be done in order to build on this success, we believe that the language industry needs better ways to take full advantage of current achievements. Due to a combination of factors, including time, resources, and skills, businesses tend to apply pragmatism into their AI workflows. Hence, they concentrate more on outcomes, e.g. delivery, shipping, releases, and features, and adopt high-level working production solutions, where possible. Among the features thought to be helpful for translators are sentence-level and word-level translation auto-suggestion and auto-completion. Suggesting alternatives can inspire translators and limit their need to refer to external resources, which hopefully boosts their productivity. This work describes our submissions to WMT's shared task on word-level auto-completion, for the Chinese-to-English, English-to-Chinese, German-to-English, and English-to-German language directions. We investigate the possibility of using pre-trained models and out-of-the-box features from available libraries. We employ random sampling to generate diverse alternatives, which reveals good results. Furthermore, we introduce our open-source API, based on CTranslate2, to serve translations, auto-suggestions, and auto-completions.

The Role of Regulatory Focus in Negotiation Outcomes
Creators: name: Gross, Allison C.

Year: 2008

description: Regulatory focus distinguishes between individuals with a promotion focus or a prevention focus. Those with a promotion focus concentrate on pleasure and getting the best out of a situation, while those with a prevention focus are concerned with pain and avoiding doing something wrong. This has been shown to affect the outcomes of negotiations, and that promotion focused individuals come to better outcomes than prevention focused individuals. The first study used a hypothetical real-estate negotiation to test whether or not promotion focus leads to superior outcomes and whether prevention focus leads to more incidences of impasse. Results indicated that promotion focus had no effect on the agreements, but prevention focus did increase the likelihood of an impasse. The second study placed participants in a negotiation over the price of an object to determine how their roles as buyer or seller affected if they viewed the negotiation as a chance to maximize gains or minimize losses, and if they viewed it as an opportunity to attain or maintain their resources. We also investigated how regulatory fit influenced subjects’ views of their roles within the negotiation dyad. Results indicated that designated role and regulatory fit both influence the ways in which participants view a negotiation.

Signification, Objectification, and the Mimetic Uncanny in Claude Debussy’s “Golliwog’s Cakewalk”
Creators: name: De Martelly, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2010

description: On October 30, 1905, Emma Bardac gave birth to Claude Debussy’s only child, a daughter named Claude-Emma (1905-1919). Debussy was a doting father; he dedicated his 1908 piano suite entitled “Children’s Corner” to her, and named four of the six movement after her toys. One of them is called “Golliwogs Cakewalk”, after a popular minstrel doll. Several elements about this suite problematizes the childlike innocence portrayed in “Children’s Corner”. This movement has attracted much critical attention mainly for its juxtaposition of a ragtime inflected cakewalk with parodied quotations of Richard Wagner’s “Prelude” to Tristan and Isolde. Also, the term “cakewalk” describes a dance form that came to characterize a specific musical genre in mid-nineteenth century United States. Dance historian and musicologist Davinia Caddy’s exploration of the cakewalk traces the history of the dance from its roots in African-American slavery, to popular American entertainment, and finally to its arrival on the French soil as a white, bourgeois leisure activity.

Evidence for Parallel Processing and Continuous Representation of Numerosity on Delayed Matching-to-Sample Task in Macaca mulatta

description: We sought to demonstrate cardinal-like (absolute), rather than ordinal (relative), numerical recognition in the primate species Macaca mulatta (rhesus monkeys), which has been insufficiently explored in the literature, to contribute to determining the features of the cognitive representations underlying such an ability. Two adult male rhesus monkeys-Augustus and Spike-were trained to identify numerosities from 1-9 in a delayed numerical matching-to-sample task that required subjects to select a previously shown numerosity among two distractor numerosity arrays, after a delay of one second. Stimuli were boxed numerical arrays composed of various geometric shapes. Attention to numerosity alone as the basis for identification of an array was ensured by controlling for non-numerical stimulus cues such as surface area, cumulative perimeter, density, spatial layout, shape and forecolor of the individual components of the arrays. Reaction time and accuracy data revealed end effects, with performance for items towards the ends of the stimulus continuum better than for middle items. Accuracy data for both subjects also revealed a distance effect for mean target-to-distractor distance, although reaction time data did not. Results indicate parallel processing for all numerosities trained, a continuous representation of small and large values alike, and no scalar variability in numerical representation, opposing the predictions made by Weber’s Law and the analog magnitude estimation model of representing numerosity.

description: To evaluate COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections among immunocompromised (IC) individuals. Individuals vaccinated with BNT162b2 were selected from the US HealthVerity database (10 December 2020 to 8 July 2021). COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections were examined in fully vaccinated (≥14 days after 2nd dose) IC individuals (IC cohort), 12 mutually exclusive IC condition groups, and a non-IC cohort. IC conditions were identified using an algorithm based on diagnosis codes and immunosuppressive (IS) medication usage. Of 1,277,747 individuals ≥16 years of age who received 2 BNT162b2 doses, 225,796 (17.7%) were identified as IC (median age: 58 years; 56.3% female). The most prevalent IC conditions were solid malignancy (32.0%), kidney disease (19.5%), and rheumatologic/inflammatory conditions (16.7%). Among the fully vaccinated IC and non-IC cohorts, a total of 978 breakthrough infections were observed during the study period; 124 (12.7%) resulted in hospitalization and 2 (0.2%) were inpatient deaths. IC individuals accounted for 38.2% (N = 374) of all breakthrough infections, 59.7% (N = 74) of all hospitalizations, and 100% (N = 2) of inpatient deaths. The proportion with breakthrough infections was 3 times higher in the IC cohort compared to the non-IC cohort (N = 374 [0.18%] vs. N = 604 [0.06%]; unadjusted incidence rates were 0.89 and 0.34 per 100 person-years, respectively. Organ transplant recipients had the highest incidence rate; those with >1 IC condition, antimetabolite usage, primary immunodeficiencies, and hematologic malignancies also had higher incidence rates compared to the overall IC cohort. Incidence rates in older (≥65 years old) IC individuals were generally higher versus younger IC individuals (<65). This retrospective analysis relied on coding accuracy and had limited capture of COVID-19 vaccine receipt. COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections are rare but are more common and severe in IC individuals. The findings from this large study support the FDA authorization and CDC recommendations to offer a 3rd vaccine dose to increase protection among IC individuals.

description: The women’s music movement of the early 1970’s was created by and for women who came to political consciousness as a result of the women’s liberation movement. The music culture that emerged was originally called “lesbian music”, but later gained the less controversial descriptor “women’s music”. Outside of this music movement music produced during this period rarely made explicit links with emerging feminist consciousness.What differentiated “women’s music” from other music made by women of the period was its lesbian focus (in both lyrics and performance contexts). Women’s music was created for a lesbian audience to describe lesbian experiences and desires. Key organizers of the women’s music movement used music as their tool to raise consciousness through new venues for women to create, experience, and consume women’s culture.

description: High magnetic fields were used to deform spherical nanocapsules, self-assembled from bola-amphiphilic sexithiophene molecules. At low fields the deformation -- measured through linear birefringence -- scales quadratically with the capsule radius and with the magnetic field strength. These data confirm a long standing theoretical prediction (W. Helfrich, Phys. Lett. {\bf 43A}, 409 (1973)), and permits the determination of the bending rigidity of the capsules as (2.6$\pm$0.8)$\times 10^{-21}$ J. At high fields, an enhanced rigidity is found which cannot be explained within the Helfrich model. We propose a complete form of the free energy functional that accounts for this behaviour, and allows discussion of the formation and stability of nanocapsules in solution.

Towards a Model to Appraise and Suggest Identifier Names

description: Unknowingly, identifiers in the source code of a software system play a vital role in determining the quality of the system. Ambiguous and confusing identifier names lead developers to not only misunderstand the behavior of the code but also increases comprehension time and thereby causes a loss in productivity. Even though correcting poor names through rename operations is a viable option for solving this problem, renaming itself is an act of rework and is not immune to defect injection. In this study, we aim to understand the motivations that drive developers to name and rename identifiers and the decisions they make in determining the name. Using our results, we propose the development of a linguistic model that determines identifier names based on the behavior of the identifier. As a prerequisite to constructing the model, we conduct multiple studies to determine the features that should feed into the model. In this paper, we discuss findings from our completed studies and justify the continuation of research on this topic through further studies.

Modification of the Debye-Huckel Equation for Concentrated Binary Aqueous Electrolyte Mixtures
Creators: name: Rastogi, Sumit A
name: Rastogi, Anil K
Publisher: name: Columbia Undergraduate Science Journal
Year: 2009

description: In this work, new modifications are made to the Debye-Huckel (DH) equation. The DH equation is used to calculate the activity coefficient of an ion in an aqueous solution and can be used for solutions with an ionic strength, I, of less than 0.1 M. One of the terms in the DH equation is “a”, the distance of closest approach of ions. The “a” term is considered a constant in both the original and extended forms of the DH equation (developed by Debye-Huckel2 and Pitzer8, respectively). For more concentrated electrolyte solutions, the assumption of “a” as a constant is not true, and the DH equation inaccurately predicts ionic activity and solution osmotic coefficients. The new modifications to the DH equation presented in this paper are based on calculating “a” as a function of concentration. A nonlinear regression program, Graph Pad Prism 5, is used to calculate four adjustable parameters present in the modified extended DH equation. The parameter values were obtained using mean molal activity and osmotic coefficient data. Results for 101 binary systems are presented, which include all applicable ionic strength and mean molal activity coefficient ranges. The results for mean molal activity and osmotic coefficients with the proposed modified DH equation show significant improvement over the original DH equation using “a” as a constant. The modified DH equation will be useful in the simulation of industrial processes such as those in metals and biochemical manufacturing, corrosion and electroplating, and the treating of water and sour gases in the petrochemical industry.

Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in four-fermi theories
Creators: name: Smith, John Warren
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Dynamical symmetry breaking of discrete chiral symmetry in four-fermi models is studied. A variational method is used to determine the effective potential. This potential is then examined to determine the critical coupling for which a phase transistion between massless and massive states occurs. Two trial ground states are used in the variational calculation and the results are the same in each case. The first is the ground state of a free massive fermion and the other is a generalized Bogoliobov-Valatin transformation of a free massless fermion ground state. In each case dynamical symmetry breaking occurs, if the coupling is fine-tuned. The results are shown to be valid for physical dimensions 1+1, 2+1 and 3+1 and compared with those of other variational methods and the 1/N expansion.

Attenuation of Neuronal Lipid Accumulations and Delayed Myelination in the Brain of Postnatal PEX2 Zellweger Mice
Creators: name: Chang, Heepeel

description: Zellweger syndrome is a peroxisomal biogenesis disorder, characterized by the absence of peroxisomes. Peroxin (PEX) genes, which regulate the import process of peroxisome matrix proteins, are mutated in patients with Zellweger syndrome. The majority of peroxisomal reactions involve lipids, including fatty acid beta-oxidation and ether phospholipid biosynthesis. However, in the absence of peroxisomes, these metabolic pathways are severely disrupted, resulting in toxic accumulations of very long chain fatty acids and many other metabolic disturbances (Wanders and Romeijn, 1998). Previous research on mice with deletion of the PEX2 gene (PEX2-/-) revealed an absence of normal peroxisomes, central nervous system malformations with an abnormality of neuronal migration and neuronal lipid accumulation in embryonic and newborn brain (Faust, 2003; Faust and Hatten, 1997; Faust et al., 2001). Using the PEX2-/- mouse model, we characterized the distribution and time course of abnormal neuronal lipid accumulation in the postnatal mutant brain. Oil red staining in PEX2 mutant mice illustrates persistence of abnormal lipid deposits in postnatal day 3 (P3) brain but their near complete disappearance in P12-P36 PEX2 mutants, with the exceptions of olfactory bulb and ependymal lining. This loss of neuronal lipid accumulation suggests these lipids may be removed by alternate non-peroxisomal mechanisms in the developing brain. Alternatively, changing metabolic requirements in developing versus mature neurons may differentially affect lipid metabolism in the absence of peroxisomes. Lastly, our results show that myelin sheaths are visibly attenuated in the brains of PEX2 mutant mice at P15. This attenuation persists somewhat through P36. The relationship of these myelin abnormalities to specific peroxisomal lipid dysfunctions remains to be investigated.

Holographic RG flow triggered by a classically marginal operator

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the holographic renormalization group (RG) flow triggered by a classically marginal operator. When a marginal operator deforms a conformal field theory, it does not yield a nontrivial renormalization group flow at the classical level. At the quantum level, however, quantum corrections modify a marginal operator into one of the truly marginal, marginally relevant, and marginally irrelevant operators and can generate a nontrivial RG flow. We investigate the holographic description of a RG flow triggered by a marginal operator with quantum corrections. We look into how the physical quantities of a deformed theory, a coupling constant and the vacuum expectation value, rely on the RG scale. We further discuss the holographic description of the trace anomaly caused by the gluon condensation.
