description: Project has taken place from June 2020 to September 2020 Description: Storage is one of the main limiting factors to the recording of information from proton-proton collision events at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. This project aims to implement an autoencoder based deep-compression algorithm on an ATLAS trigger machine to reduce this storage requirement and improve accessibility time of the collision data captured by a trigger system. We also plan to design an autoencoder model that has a better compression factor and adequate execution time and memory requirements in order to be deployed on a trigger system.

description: Development Economics is a new branch of economics. There was little that went under this name before World War H, though many of the same problems were dealt with by members of the colonial services, anthropologists and others. Since much of economics is a response to current political and social problems, it is pertinent to ask what new conditions gave rise to the new and rapidly growing interest in development.

description: The problems of the world's poorest countries and the poorest people, some of whom reside in the more advanced developing countries, underlie the global issues on which negotiations are currently being launched between the industrial countries of the Northern hemisphere and the developing countries to their South. The strength of the case of the developing countries rests not only on their recently increased bargaining power but also, importantly, on grounds of justice and equity - on the need for the rich nations to undertake efforts that favor, rather than descriminate against, the poor countries. The justice and equity case for helping the vast numbers of the very poor is especially important if the publics in the countries of the North are to be persuaded that they should support the move toward greater sharing of power and income with the countries of the South.

description: The outer solar system beyond Saturn remains unexplored by dedicated orbital missions. With a launch window opening in 2029, the Uranus Orbiter and Probe (UOP) mission has been prioritized as a NASA Flagship mission for the next decade (2023–2032) to comprehensively study Uranus and its major moons—Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon. We define and apply novel mission design principles centered on scientific objectives to UOP's gravity science (GS) experiment. Using a combination of Bayesian and Precise Orbit Determination inversions, it is possible to determine mission requirements ensuring the achievement of scientific goals. Our methodology involves building measurement-to-interior parameter maps via extensive Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations, linking geodetic measurements' precisions to uncertainties in key interior parameters of the Uranian moons. We show how this mapping approach allows for the rapid evaluation of the ability of a GS experiment design to constrain interior parameters. We conduct a covariance analysis of two orbital tours, multiple measurement strategies, and inversion settings. The tested cases enable the satisfactory determination of Ariel's ice shell thickness (to about 16%), as well as its rock-to-ice mass ratio (≈28%). None of the solutions were able to constrain its ocean thickness. This reverse approach allows for the rapid and scientifically informed adjustment of mission design, thereby demonstrating its potential applicability to other planetary science experiments.

description: We present measurements of large-scale cosmic microwave background (CMB) E-mode polarization from the Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS) 90 GHz data. Using 115 det-yr of observations collected through 2024 with a variable-delay polarization modulator, we achieved a polarization sensitivity of 78 µK arcmin, comparable to Planck at similar frequencies (100 and 143 GHz). The analysis demonstrates effective mitigation of systematic errors and addresses challenges to large-angular-scale power recovery posed by time-domain filtering in maximum-likelihood map-making. A novel implementation of the pixel-space transfer matrix is introduced, which enables efficient filtering simulations and bias correction in the power spectrum using the quadratic cross-spectrum estimator. Overall, we achieved an unbiased time-domain filtering correction to recover the largest angular scale polarization, with the only power deficit, arising from map-making non-linearity, being characterized as less than 3%. Through cross-correlation with Planck, we detected the cosmic reionization at 99.4% significance and measured the reionization optical depth τ = 0.053⁺⁰˙⁰¹⁸₋₀.₀₁₉, marking the first ground-based attempt at such a measurement. At intermediate angular scales (ℓ>30), our results, both independently and in cross-correlation with Planck, remain fully consistent with Planck's measurements.

description: The human gut microbiome is a vast ecosystem of microorganisms that play an important role in human metabolism, immunological function, and even inflammatory gut diseases. Metagenomics research on the human gut microbiome has demonstrated the presence of DNA from dietary yeast species like Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, it is unknown if the S. cerevisiae detected in metagenomics studies is solely from dead dietary sources or if they can live and colonize the human gut like their close relative Candida albicans. While S. cerevisiae can adapt to low oxygen and acidic environments, it has yet to be explored whether it can metabolize mucin, the primary carbon source found in the mucus layer of the human gut. Mucins are large, gel-forming, highly glycosylated proteins that make up a majority of carbohydrate sources in the gut mucosa. This work determined that S. cerevisiae can utilize mucin as their main carbon source which results in a significant reduction in cell size. Additionally, an aspartyl protease named Yps7, part of a family containing known homologues to mucin-degrading C. albicans proteins in S. cerevisiae, is important for growth on mucin media. To further identify biological pathways required to grow optimally in mucin, both a transcriptome analysis on wild type cells (BY4743) and a chemogenomics screen was performed. In total, 2131 genes demonstrated significant differential expression in mucin media, and 30 genes upon their deletion impacted their growth on mucin. Both these screens suggest that mitochondrial function is required for proper growth in mucin, which was further elucidated by the change in mitochondrial morphology and oxygen consumption in yeast cells upon mucin treatment. Indeed, the uncharacterized open reading frame YCR095W-A is required for growth on mucin as the deletion mutant showed dysfunction in mitochondrial morphology and cellular respiration, further suggesting a potential role in mitochondrial function. Importantly, this project serves as the initial step towards establishing if our most common dietary fungus can survive in the mucus environment of the human gut.

description: The EXoplanet Climate Infrared TElescope (EXCITE) is a near-infrared spectrograph (0.8-3.5 µm, R∼50) designed for measuring spectroscopic phase curves of transiting hot Jupiter-type exoplanets that operates off a high-altitude balloon platform. Phase curves produce a combination of phase curve and transit/eclipse spectroscopy, providing a wealth of information for characterizing exoplanet atmospheres. EXCITE will be a firstof- kind dedicated telescope uniquely able to observe a target nearly uninterrupted for tens of hours, enabling phase curve measurements, and complementing JWST. The spectrometer has two channels, a 0.8-2.5 µm band and a 2.5-3.5 µm band, providing a spectrum with a spectral resolution of R≥50. Two Off-Axis Parabolic (OAP) mirrors reimage the telescope focal plane to provide on-axis, diffraction-limited performance, wth a CaF2 prism providing dispersion. The spectrum is imaged with a single JWST flight spare Teledyne H2RG detector, providing Nyquist sampling of each channel. Here, we discuss the spectrograph’s mechanical design, acceptance testing, assembly, and cryostat integration.

description: High precision sub-arcsecond pointing stability has become a capability widely utilized in the balloon-borne community, in particular for high resolution optical systems. However, many of these applications are also pushing the state-of-the-art with regards to detector technology, many forms of which require some level of cryogenic cooling and active dissipative cooling systems to achieve target performance specifications. Built on the success of the Super-pressure Balloon-borne Imaging Telescope (SuperBIT) experiment, we present the results of improved technologies and design methodologies applied to the EXoplanet Infrared TElescope (EXCITE), which uses active cryogenic systems to achieve detector performance while requiring pointing stability at the 100 milliarcsecond level. Results from EXCITE's recent balloon-borne campaign are presented within the context of Super-pressure Balloon (SPB) and Long Duration Balloon (LDB) applications.

description: Major depression is prevalent and impactful in military populations, and not all depressed military personnel access mental health services. However, the rate at which military personnel become depressed, and the likelihood that they will subsequently seek care, remains poorly understood. In this thesis, I present four distinct studies that have helped bridge existing knowledge gaps. First, I used data from a large population-based survey to measure the proportion of depressed Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel who self-reported using mental health services in the past 12 months. Second, I conducted a systematic review to compare the major depression treatment gap uncovered in the first study to the treatment gaps reported in other military organizations. Third, I used data extracted from electronic medical records to measure the rate of new major depression diagnoses in CAF personnel. Results were highly consistent with the treatment gap estimates obtained from the first study, and this helped confirm the quality of the novel electronic medical record data. Fourth, I used data extracted from CAF electronic medical records to measure the temporal association between incident major depression and spinal pain. Because electronic medical records can only identify depression in care-seeking patients, I used quantitative bias analysis methods and the treatment gap estimates obtained from the first study to mitigate the risk of misclassification bias. The results of these four studies suggest that the major depression treatment gap is smaller in the Canadian military than it is elsewhere, but that it could be further reduced with additional mental health literacy interventions. They also suggest that certain sub-groups of CAF personnel may benefit from enhanced prevention or screening efforts, including spinal pain patients and individuals newly posted to administrative cells for severely sick or injured personnel. Finally, these studies highlight the importance of using rigorous epidemiological methods in military major depression research.

description: Dr Carlos Ziebert’s team, of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), explores the safety of batteries across calorimetric studies. The group Batteries – Calorimetry and Safety focuses on calorimetric studies and safety tests on lithium­ion cells and post­lithium cells. For this purpose, depending on the cell size and application, different types of calorimeters are used in Europe’s largest Battery Calorimeter Laboratory, which was established in 2011. The group is currently active in four different public funded projects: AnaLiBa, BatgaMod, HELIOS and POLiS.

HELIOS

In the European project HELIOS (High­ pErformance moduLar battery packs for sustaInable urban electrOmobility Services), which is funded by around 10 million Euro and has started at the 01.01.2021, improved modular battery packs are developed together with the following 18 partners from Europe and Turkey under the lead of Aarhus university. Applying a holistic circular approach, the HELIOS project investigates optimal eco­designs and advanced processes to both enhance and demonstrate innovative, lighter and eco­friendly hybrid Li­Ion­based battery packs for mid­size vehicles and city buses.

description: The EXoplanet Climate Infrared TElescope (EXCITE) is an instrument designed to measure spectroscopic phase curves of extrasolar hot Jupiters from a long duration balloon platform. EXCITE will fly a moderate resolution spectrometer housed inside of a cryogenic receiver actively cooled by two linear pulse tube cryocoolers. Here we provide the current status of the design and performance of the cryogenic receiver, its heat rejection mechanism, and associated control electronics. A recirculating methanol fluid loop rejects heat from the cryocoolers and transports it to sky-facing radiator panels mounted to the gondola. The cryocoolers are controlled by drive electronics with active vibration reduction functionality to minimize the impact of vibrations on pointing stability. We discuss the thermal and vibrational performance of the cryogenic receiver during ground-based pointing tests in its 2023 field campaign in Ft. Sumner, NM and present its current status as EXCITE prepares for its 2024 test flight campaign.

description: RNA regulates various cellular processes using malleable 3D structures and characterizing their structural dynamics is critical to shedding light on their mechanism of action. To mitigate continuing limitations on studies of large RNA by solution NMR spectroscopy, we have extended a recently described 2H-enhanced, 1H-15N correlation approach by developing a chemoenzymatic labeling technology that grafts selectively labeled [9-15N]-Guanine on to any available labeled ribose to make [9-15N]-GTP. The low CSA of the N9 nucleus (~112 ppm) in combination with extensive ribose deuteration leads to long-lived NMR signals that enable chemical shift assignment, analyze the structure of three biologically relevant large RNA constructs pivotal to viral life cycles [human hepatitis B virus ε RNA (61nt), the HIV-1 primer binding site segment RNA (103 nt), and the HIV-1 Rev response element (232 nt)], observe N9-H8 and N9-H1' correlations, and measure longitudinal and transverse relaxation rates for RNAs as large as 78 kDa. We show CSA dominates both N7 (>99%) and N9 (>90%) relaxation and enables straightforward analysis of dynamics. Taken together, application of these selective labels in conjunction with optimized NMR pulse sequences could push the limits of size restrictions in RNA NMR structural biology beyond 100 nt.

description: The advent of large pre-trained generative language models has provided a common framework for AI story generation via sampling the model to create sequences that continue the story. However, sampling alone is insufficient for story generation. In particular, it is hard to direct a language model to create stories to reach a specific goal event. We present two automated techniques grounded in deep reinforcement learning and reward shaping to control the plot of computer-generated stories. The first utilizes proximal policy optimization to fine-tune an existing transformer-based language model to generate text continuations but also be goal-seeking. The second extracts a knowledge graph from the unfolding story, which is used by a policy network with graph attention to select a candidate continuation generated by a language model. We report on automated metrics pertaining to how often stories achieve a given goal event as well as human participant rankings of coherence and overall story quality compared to baselines and ablations.

description: Neural network based approaches to automated story plot generation attempt to learn how to generate novel plots from a corpus of natural language plot summaries. Prior work has shown that a semantic abstraction of sentences called events improves neural plot generation and and allows one to decompose the problem into: (1) the generation of a sequence of events (event-to-event) and (2) the transformation of these events into natural language sentences (event-to-sentence). However, typical neural language generation approaches to event-to-sentence can ignore the event details and produce grammatically-correct but semantically-unrelated sentences. We present an ensemble-based model that generates natural language guided by events. We provide results—including a human subjects study—for a full end-to-end automated story generation system showing that our method generates more coherent and plausible stories than baseline approaches 1.

description: Language-modeling--based approaches to story plot generation attempt to construct a plot by sampling from a language model (LM) to predict the next character, word, or sentence to add to the story. LM techniques lack the ability to receive guidance from the user to achieve a specific goal, resulting in stories that don't have a clear sense of progression and lack coherence. We present a reward-shaping technique that analyzes a story corpus and produces intermediate rewards that are backpropagated into a pre-trained LM in order to guide the model toward a given goal. Automated evaluations show our technique can create a model that generates story plots which consistently achieve a specified goal. Human-subject studies show that the generated stories have more plausible event ordering than baseline plot generation techniques.

description: Student achievement is of the highest concern for the government, educational administrators and parents. Researchers have looked at several possible student factors that affect student achievement. However, very little research has been done on teacher factors and their relationship with student achievement. The current study looked at the relationships among teacher absence, teacher job satisfaction, work-family conflict, family/work conflict, teachers' attitudes towards achievement measures, and their correlation with Virginia's standardized measure of student achievement; the Standards of Learning (SOLs). District differences in student achievement were also examined. Three school districts in southeastern Virginia accepted the invitation to participate. Responses from teachers who were employed by any of the three school districts and teaching third or fifth grade during the 2004-2005 school year were analyzed and included in the study. Survey data obtained from 197 third and fifth grade teachers from southeastern Virginia public elementary schools were used to assess teacher factors. The Standards of Learning were used to assess student achievement. Significant relationships were found between several teacher factor variables. Teacher absence variables were significantly correlated to Family/Work Conflict. As family's interference with work increased, illness absence increased also. TJSQ scores were significantly correlated to SOLTAS score and Work/Family Conflict. As job satisfaction increased negative attitudes towards the SOLs and Work/Family Conflict increased as well. There were also significant positive relationships between Age, SOLTAS scores, and Work/Family Conflict. As teachers' ages increased, negative attitudes towards the SOLs and work's interference with family increased as well. School Districts differed significantly on TJSQ scores, Family/Work Conflict, and in all three subject areas of Student Achievement.

description: Migratory cells respond to graded concentrations of diffusible chemoattractants in vitro, but how complex tissue geometries in vivo impact chemotaxis is poorly understood. To address this, we studied the Drosophila border cells. Live-imaged border cells varied in their chemotactic migration speeds, which correlated positionally with distinct architectures. We then developed a reduced mathematical model to determine how chemoattractant distribution is affected by tissue architecture. Larger extracellular volumes locally dampened the chemoattractant gradient and, when coupled with an agent-based motion of the cluster, reduced cell speeds. This suggests that chemoattractant levels vary by tissue architectures, informing cell migration behaviors locally, which we tested in vivo. Genetically elevating chemoattractant levels slowed migration in specific architectural regions, while mutants with spacious tissue structure rescued defects from high chemoattractant levels, promoting punctual migration. Our results highlight the interplay between tissue geometry and the local distribution of signaling molecules to orchestrate cell migration.

description: Game playing has been an important testbed for artificial intelligence. Board games, first-person shooters, and real-time strategy games have well-defined win conditions and rely on strong feedback from a simulated environment. Text adventures require natural language understanding to progress through the game but still have an underlying simulated environment. In this paper, we propose tabletop roleplaying games as a challenge due to an infinite action space, multiple (collaborative) players and models of the world, and no explicit reward signal. We present an approach for reinforcement learning agents that can play tabletop roleplaying games.

description: In the last 12 years there has been a rapid expansion of book publications on Japan' s development; the books written in German constitute a respective (although not very well known) part of that expansion. In the present paper some 177 books published after 1966 and covering such fields as society, economy, management, trade, politics, history, law, education, science, technology, environment, and bibliographies, are critically reviewed, most of them in great detail. Although not being fully comprehensive, this paper provides the reader with the necessary information on the quantity and quality, on the achievements and deficiencies of the German literature on Japan. The paper covers only the literature written in German, i. e. not all the literature written by Germans. It is meant to help the reader interested in Japan with a quick overview on the state of the art, and to provide him with references for further staying.

description: Automated story generation is the problem of automatically selecting a sequence of events, actions, or words that can be told as a story. We seek to develop a system that can generate stories by learning everything it needs to know from textual story corpora. To date, recurrent neural networks that learn language models at character, word, or sentence levels have had little success generating coherent stories. We explore the question of event representations that provide a mid-level of abstraction between words and sentences in order to retain the semantic information of the original data while minimizing event sparsity. We present a technique for preprocessing textual story data into event sequences. We then present a technique for automated story generation whereby we decompose the problem into the generation of successive events (event2event) and the generation of natural language sentences from events (event2sentence). We give empirical results comparing different event representations and their effects on event successor generation and the translation of events to natural language.

description: The problem of improvisational story generation involves one or more agents collaborating in order to create a story without any advance notice of topic. We present a pipeline for an artificial agent that is capable of improvisational storytelling while collaborating with a human agent. Starting with story corpora, we “eventify” sentences, which creates a simplified and abstracted representation. The rest of the pipeline–the agent’s response–is broken into three parts: generating successive events (event-to-event), translating of events back into natural language (event-to-sentence), and plugging the specifics of the story back into the generated sentences (slot filling). We discuss techniques for each of these sub-problems.

description: Although substantial progress has been achieved in speech-to-speech translation systems over the last few years, such systems still require that the speech be written in some appropriate orthography. As speech may differ greatly from the standardized written form of a language, it can be non-trivial to collect written data when there is no standard way for it to be represented. This project addresses the problem from the other end and expects that speech alone is available in the target language, and that no (standard or non-standard) orthography exists. It, therefore, treats the acoustic representation of the language as primary and uses language-independent methods to produce a phonetically-related symbolic representation that is then used in the translation system. Thus, the speech translation system is created for the target language as defined by the recording of that language rather than some body of orthographic transcripts. In this work, we are creating an application called APT (Acoustic Patient Translator), which uses a novel scheme of speech recognition and translation within a targeted domain. By working with a set of predefined sentences appropriately chosen to fit a scenario, we use utterance classification as a speech recognition algorithm. The utterance classification is achieved using cross-lingual, language-independent phonetic labeling. Since we are working with a set of select phrases, the translation part is trivial. We are concentrating on communication with hospital staff, such as scheduling a doctor's appointment, as our domain. In addition to English, we also run experiments on Tamil.
Stadtentwicklung und Stadterneuerung in Nepal. Das Bhaktapur Development Project
Creators: name: Kleinert, Christian
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2018

description: Since 1974 an urban renewal and development project is carried out in Bhaktapur(Nepal) as a joint venture of the Nepalese and the German governments. This Urban Development Project comprises Town Development Planning, Industrial Promotion and Implementation work in the field of the infrastructure as well as conservation and preservation activities in order to preserve the traditional character of the town. The main difference betweens traditional Town Planning and the approach of an integrated urban renewal and development project as undertaken by the Bhaktapur Development Project is the emphasis put on simultaneous planning and implementation. There is a strong mutual feed-back and exchange of experiences between the planners on one side and the architects and engineers on the other side , who are directly involved in the implementation activities. The project is carried out as a pilot project. The experiences made so far with the conception of a comprehensive urban development strategy will provide guidelines for future activities in similar towns and projects.

Zur soziopolitischen Struktur des gegenwärtigen Politbüros der kommunistischen Parteien Vietnams
Creators: name: Hung, Nguyen Thanh

description: The personnel continuity of the leadership of the Vietnamese Communist Party is one of the remarkable facts characterizing the hitherto existing political stability in Vietnam. The paper seeks to approach this phenomenon by analyzing the social background of its members and by tracing their ascent during the organizational development of the party since 1941. The consistence of the political leadership in Vietnam can then be explained, first by the extraordinary social homogeneity in the personnel composition of the politburo and, second by the latent function of both Vietnam-wars which produced a revolutionary dlite that has limited the rise of bureaucrats as another type of leadership. These historical factors are now absent in the present political development. It is assumed that the next supersession of the present Vietnamese leadership would be associated with a change in type of leadership that could distort the political stability.

description: The foregoing article is a summary of a M. A. -thesis deelingwith Ramaswami Naikker's publications and the development of the C. M. I. in the years 1925-1945. It outlines the four main principles of the C. M. I. : namely self-respect, rationalism, anti-Brahmanism and Dravidism and shows how, departing from these principles, the C.M.I. developped into a militant, anti-religious, anti-North-Indian secessionist socio-political movement which found its climax and its end in the demand for an independent Dravidasthan. The events following the foundation of the successor party of the C. M. I. , the DK, in 1944 and the splitting away of the DMK in 1949 are shown. Furthermore, the impact of the Dravidian ideas and demands on the politics of Tamilnadu in the fifties and sixties is considered. The article concludes with an evaluation of the influence and chances of Dravidian parties and Dravidian ideas after the elections of 1977 and the splitting of the DMK party into three new parties.
