description: Extended Theories of Gravity can be considered a new paradigm to cure shortcomings of General Relativity at infrared and ultraviolet scales. They are an approach that, by preserving the undoubtedly positive results of Einstein's Theory, is aimed to address conceptual and experimental problems recently emerged in Astrophysics, Cosmology and High Energy Physics. In particular, the goal is to encompass, in a self-consistent scheme, problems like Inflation, Dark Energy, Dark Matter, Large Scale Structure and, first of all, to give at least an effective description of Quantum Gravity. We review the basic principles that any gravitational theory has to follow. The geometrical interpretation is discussed in a broad perspective in order to highlight the basic assumptions of General Relativity and its possible extensions in the general framework of gauge theories. Principles of such modifications are presented, focusing on specific classes of theories like f (R)-gravity and scalar-tensor gravity in the metric and Palatini approaches. The special role of torsion is also discussed. The conceptual features of these theories are fully explored and attention is payed to the issues of dynamical and conformal equivalence between them considering also the initial value problem. A number of viability criteria are presented considering the post-Newtonian and the post-Minkowskian limits. In particular, we discuss the problems of neutrino oscillations and gravitational waves in Extended Gravity. Finally, future perspectives of Extended Gravity are considered with possibility to go beyond a trial and error approach.

Maximum Expected F-Measure Training of Logistic Regression Models
Creators: name: Jansche, Martin
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2005
Subjects: Information technology
Computer science

description: We consider the problem of training logistic regression models for binary classification in information extraction and information retrieval tasks. Fitting probabilistic models for use with such tasks should take into account the demands of the task-specific utility function, in this case the well-known F-measure, which combines recall and precision into a global measure of utility. We develop a training procedure based on empirical risk minimization / utility maximization and evaluate it on a simple extraction task.

description: In recent years, the importance of women's preconception health and health care (PCHHC) for improving birth outcomes, especially among high-risk populations, has been highlighted by numerous researchers, advocates, and policymakers. In 2006, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Select Panel on Preconception Care issued recommendations for improving preconception health and health care. Throughout this report, we refer to preconception health and health care as efforts to promote women's wellbeing and health before, during, and between pregnancies and throughout their childbearing years. A growing body of evidence points to the importance of a woman's physical, mental, environmental, and behavioral health over her life course for her children's birth outcomes, and consequent child development and later life wellbeing. The Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems (ECCS) initiative can play an important role in advancing PCHHC, benefiting women, young children, and families in their communities.

description: text as original form
description: There’s something ‘wrong’ in the field of fear management, the author had expressed in his 2010 tome, The World’s Fearlessness Teachings. Using a transdisciplinary approach to fear and fearology, he has sought how best to engage other theories. Within philosophy of existentialism (a la Ernest Becker) and the applications to social psychology (empirical studies of human behavior via Pyszczynski et al.), he found their contributions on terror (fear) management intriguing. The author, a specialist in fear management/education (FME) has been citing and at times teaching about terror management theory (TMT) since the early 2000s. In 2007 he published his first attempt to integrate TMT through an “integral” lens, to serve as one way to up-grade what he saw as some of the weaknesses in TMT, even though he highly admires TMT. In 2020 he engaged in an in depth interview dialogue with Sheldon Solomon, one of the three core founders of TMT, and it is this Technical Paper No. 94 which offers an extensive transcript from this exchange. As well, the author includes a letter to Solomon on potential ways of upgrading TMT, especially as the world spins within the extraordinary challenges of the coronavirus epidemic and lots of death—never mind, the overall context of an Anthropocene era, which both Solomon and the author acknowledge and attempt to offer good FME.

The Haptic Creature : social human-robot interaction through affective touch
Creators: name: Yohanan, Steven John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Emotion communication is an important aspect of social interaction. Affect display research from psychology as well as social human-robot interaction has focused primarily on facial or vocal behaviors, as these are the predominant means of expression for humans. Much less attention, however, has been on emotion communication through touch, which, though unique among the senses, can be methodologically and technologically difficult to study. Our thesis investigated the role of affective touch in the social interaction between human and robot. Through a process of design and controlled user evaluation, we examined the display, recognition, and emotional influence of affective touch. To mitigate issues inherent in touch research, we drew from interaction models not between humans but between human and animal, whereby the robot assumes the role of companion animal. We developed the Haptic Creature, a small, zoomorphic robot novel in its sole focus on touch for both affect sensing and display. The robot perceives movement and touch, and it expresses emotions through ear stiffness, modulated breathing, and vibrotactile purring. The Haptic Creature was employed in three user studies, each exploring a different aspect of affective touch interaction. Our first study examined emotion display from the robot. We detail the design of the Haptic Creature's affect display, which originated from animal models, then was enhanced through successive piloting. A formal study demonstrated the robot was more successful communicating arousal than valence. Our second study investigated affect display from the human. We compiled a touch dictionary from psychology and human-animal interaction research. Participants first rated the likelihood of using these touch gestures when expressing a variety of emotions, then performed likely gestures communicating specific emotions for the Haptic Creature. Results provided properties of human affect display through touch and high-level categorization of intent. Our final study explored the influence of affective touch. Results empirically demonstrated the human's emotional state was directly influenced from affective touch interactions with the robot. Our research has direct significance to the field of socially interactive robotics and, further, any domain interested in human use of affective touch: psychology, mediated social touch, human-animal interaction.

description: The length spectra of flat three-dimensional dielectric resonators of circular shape were determined from a microwave experiment. They were compared to a semiclassical trace formula obtained within a two-dimensional model based on the effective index of refraction approximation and a good agreement was found. It was necessary to take into account the dispersion of the effective index of refraction for the two-dimensional approximation. Furthermore, small deviations between the experimental length spectrum and the trace formula prediction were attributed to the systematic error of the effective index of refraction approximation. In summary, the methods developed in this article enable the application of the trace formula for two-dimensional dielectric resonators also to realistic, flat three-dimensional dielectric microcavities and -lasers, allowing for the interpretation of their spectra in terms of classical periodic orbits.

description: We study correlation measures for complex systems. First, we investigate some recently proposed measures based on information geometry. We show that these measures can increase under local transformations as well as under discarding particles, thereby questioning their interpretation as a quantifier for complexity or correlations. We then propose a refined definition of these measures, investigate its properties and discuss its numerical evaluation. As an example, we study coupled logistic maps and study the behavior of the different measures for that case. Finally, we investigate other local effects during the coarse graining of the complex system.

description: We investigate the location and nature of the para-ferro transition of interacting electrons in dispersionless bands using the example of the Hubbard model on the Tasaki lattice. This case can be analyzed as a geometric site-percolation problem where different configurations appear with nontrivial weights. We provide a complete exact solution for the 1D case and develop a numerical algorithm for the 2D case. In two dimensions the paramagnetic phase persists beyond the uncorrelated percolation point, and the grand-canonical transition is via a first-order jump to an unsaturated ferromagnetic phase.

description: Die vorherrschende Lehrmeinung in der deutschen Geschichtswissenschaft besagt: In Kaiserreich und Weimarer Republik war die deutsche Gesellschaft eine Gesellschaft sozialer Klassen. 1. Diese Studie zeigt, dass solch ein Bild auf der Grundlage der bisherigen Forschung nicht haltbar ist. Sie analysiert sie die theoretischen und methodischen Grundlagen dieses Gesellschaftsbildes und zeigt die wichtigsten Forschungsdesiderate auf. 2. Sie entwickelt mit der Historischen Sozialgruppen-Analyse (HSG-Analyse) eine neue Methode, mit der sich unter anderem die Validität jenes Gesellschaftsbildes überprüfen lässt. Denn die HSG-Analyse erstellt soziale Kontaktprofile von sozialen Gruppen. 3. Die Studie demonstriert die HSG-Analyse am Beispiel der sächsischen Stadt Delitzsch – die größte bislang durchgeführte Big-Data-Untersuchung zu einer Kleinstadt in Kaiserreich und Weimarer Republik. 4. Die Studie diskutiert gängige Klassifikationssysteme wie die der deutschen Sozialgeschichte oder HISCLASS.
description: Conventional wisdom in German historiography depicts the country during the Empire and the Weimar Republic as a society of social classes.1. This study shows that such an understanding is not sufficiently tenable on the grounds of existing research. It analyses the theoretical and methodological foundations of this image of society and shows the most important research desiderata. 2. It develops the Historical Social Group Analysis (HSG Analysis), a new method that can be used – among other things – to assess the factual soundness of that image of society, since it creates social contact profiles of social groups. 3. The study utilises the HSG analysis method in the context of the Saxon city of Delitzsch. This is the largest big data research to date on a small town in the Empire and the Weimar Republic. 4 The study discusses classification systems such as those of German social history or HISCLASS.

description: To date, studies of deceptive speech have largely been confined to descriptive studies and observations from subjects, researchers, or practitioners, with few empirical studies of the specific lexical or acoustic/prosodic features which may characterize deceptive speech. We present results from a study seeking to distinguish deceptive from non-deceptive speech using machine learning techniques on features extracted from a large corpus of deceptive and non-deceptive speech. This corpus employs an interview paradigm that includes subject reports of truth vs. lie at multiple temporal scales. We present current results comparing the performance of acoustic/prosodic, lexical, and speaker-dependent features and discuss future research directions.

description: Die Familie der Gab Proteine sind große multi-site docking Proteine, die als dynamische „Assembly-Plattformen“ für signal-prozessierende Proteinkomplexe fungieren. Das intrinsisch ungeordnete Protein Gab1 enthält hauptsächlich ungeordnete Bereiche außer einer gefalteten N-terminalen Pleckstrin Homology (PH) Domäne. Leider konnten bisher die Ultrastrukturen dieser Proteine nicht aufgeklärt werden. Daher wurde in dieser Dissertation die Topologie von Gab1 und Gab2, die Gab1 – Grb2 Interaktion, und Gab1 basierende Komplexe analysiert.
description: The Gab family of proteins are large multi-site docking proteins that function as dynamic assembly platforms for signal-processing protein complexes. The intrinsically disordered protein Gab1 protein contains a well-folded N-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, followed by a long tail region predicted to be largely disordered. However, previous studies have failed to describe detailed ultrastructures. Therefore, this PhD thesis investigated the topology of Gab1 and Gab2 proteins, the Gab1 – Grb2 interaction and Gab1-based complexes.

description: The manual Pyramid method for summary evaluation, which focuses on the task of determining if a summary expresses the same content as a set of manual models, has shown sufficient promise that the Document Understanding Conference 2005 effort will make use of it. However, an automated approach would make the method far more useful for developers and evaluators of automated summarization systems. We present an experimental environment for testing automated evaluation of summaries, pre-annotated for shared information. We reduce the problem to a combination of similarity measure computation and clustering. The best results are achieved with a unigram overlap similarity measure and singlelink clustering, which yields high correlation to manual pyramid scores (r=0.942, p=0.01), and shows better correlation than the n-gram overlap automatic approaches of the ROUGE system.

description: Quality Rating Improvement Systems (QRIS) have emerged as a central strategy in states' efforts to improve the quality of early care and education programs and the capacity of these programs to promote positive outcomes for children. Currently, 23 states have a statewide QRIS. At the heart of each QRIS is a set of standards that describe the requirements a center-based program or home-based early care and education setting must meet in order to qualify for a QRIS rating. Because children's school readiness is a key goal of QRIS, requirements concerning practices that can promote children's learning and development are of special interest. These requirements are typically found in standards' descriptions of acceptable curricula or learning activities, including methods for promoting the learning of children with special needs and children who are English language learners, as well as practices related to child assessment and parent involvement.
Constraints on cosmic string tension imposed by the limit on the stochastic gravitational wave background from the European Pulsar Timing Array

description: We investigate the constraints that can be placed on the cosmic string tension by using the current Pulsar Timing Array limits on the stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB). We have developed a code to compute the spectrum of gravitational waves (GWs) based on the widely accepted one-scale model. In its simplest form the one-scale model allows one to vary: (i) the string tension, Gμ/c^2; (ii) the size of cosmic string loops relative to the horizon at birth, α; (iii) the spectral index of the emission spectrum, q; (iv) the cut-off in the emission spectrum, n_*; and (v) the intercommutation probability, p. The amplitude and slope of the spectrum in the nHz frequency range is very sensitive to these unknown parameters. We have also investigated the impact of more complicated scenarios with multiple initial loop sizes, in particular the 2-αmodels proposed in the literature and a log-normal distribution for α. We have computed the constraint on Gμ/c^2 due to the limit on a SGWB imposed by data from the European Pulsar Timing Array. Taking into account all the possible uncertainties in the parameters we find a conservative upper limit of Gμ/c^2<5.3x 10^{-7} which typically occurs when the loop production scale is close to the gravitational backreaction scale, α\approxΓGμ/c^2. Stronger limits are possible for specific values of the parameters which typically correspond to the extremal cases α\ll ΓGμ/c^2 and α\gg ΓGμ/c^2. This limit is less stringent than the previously published limits which are based on cusp emission, an approach which does not necessarily model all the possible uncertainties. We discuss the prospects for lowering this limit by two orders of magnitude, or even a detection of the SGWB, in the very near future in the context of the Large European Array for Pulsars and the Square Kilometre Array.

description: We have developed a summarization system, TAS (Technical Article Summarizer), which, when provided with a patient record and journal articles returned by a search, automatically generates a summary that is tailored to the patient characteristics. We hypothesize that a personalized summary will allow a physician to more quickly find information relevant to patient care. In this paper, we present a user study in which subjects carried out a task under three different conditions: using search results only, using a generic summary and search results, and using a personalized summary with search results. Our study demonstrates that subjects do a better job on task completion with the personalized summary, and show a higher level of satisfaction, than under other conditions.

description: We report the first angular diameter measurements of two classical Cepheids, FF Aql and T Vul, that we have obtained with the FLUOR instrument installed at the CHARA interferometric array. We obtain average limb-darkened angular diameters of θ_LD = 0.878 +/- 0.013 mas and θ_LD = 0.629 +/- 0.013 mas, respectively for FF Aql and T Vul. Combining these angular diameters with the HST-FGS trigonometric parallaxes leads to linear radii R = 33.6 +/- 2.2 Rsol and R = 35.6 +/- 4.4 Rsol, respectively. The comparison with empirical and theoretical Period-Radius relations leads to the conclusion that these Cepheids are pulsating in their fundamental mode. The knowledge of the pulsation mode is of prime importance to calibrate the Period-Luminosity relation with a uniform sample of fundamental mode Cepheids.

description: This MATLAB program calculates the dynamics of the reduced density matrix of an open quantum system modeled by the Feynman-Vernon model. The user gives the program a vector describing the coordinate of an open quantum system, a hamiltonian matrix describing its energy, and a spectral distribution function and temperature describing the environment's influence on it, in addition to the open quantum system's intial density matrix and a grid of times. With this, the program returns the reduced density matrix of the open quantum system at all (or some) moments specified by that grid of times. This overall calculation can be divided into two stages: the setup of the Feynman integral, and the actual calculation of the Feynman integral for time-propagation of the density matrix. When this program calculates this propagation on a multi-core CPU, it is this propagation that is usually the rate limiting step of the calculation, but when it is calculated on a GPU, the propagation is calculated so quickly that the setup of the Feynman integal actually becomes the rate limiting step for most cases tested so far. The overhead of transfrring information from the CPU to the GPU and back seems to have negligible effect on the overall runtime of the program. When the required information cannot fit on the GPU, the user can choose to run the entire program on a CPU.

description: The low-temperature properties of the two-dimensional attractive Hubbard model are strongly influenced by the fermion density. Away from half-filling, there is a finite-temperature transition to a phase with s-wave pairing order. However, the critical temperature is suppressed to zero at half-filling, where long-range charge-density-wave order also appears, degenerate with superconductivity. This paper presents Determinant Quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the attractive Hubbard model in the presence of a confining potential V which makes the fermion density ρ inhomogeneous across the lattice. Pair correlations are shown to be large at low temperatures in regions of the trapped system with incommensurate filling, and to exhibit a minimum as the local density ρ(i) passes through one fermion per site. In this ring of ρ=1, charge order is enhanced. A comparison is made between treating V within the local-density approximation (LDA) and in an ab initio manner. It is argued that certain sharp features of the LDA result at integer filling do not survive the proximity of doped sites. The critical temperature of confined systems of fixed characteristic density is estimated.

description: Biography creation requires the identification of important events in the life of the individual in question. While there are events such as birth and death that apply to everyone, most of the other activities tend to be occupation-specific. Hence, occupation gives important clues as to which activities should be included in the biography. We present techniques for automatically identifying which important events apply to the general population, which ones are occupation-specific, and which ones are person-specific. We use the extracted information as features for a multi-class SVM classifier, which is then used to automatically identify the occupation of a previously unseen individual. We present experiments involving 189 individuals from ten occupations, and we show that our approach accurately identifies general and occupation-specific activities and assigns unseen individuals to the correct occupations. Finally, we present evidence that our technique can lead to efficient and effective biography generation relying only on statistical techniques.
Untersuchung des Zusammenhangs von hypertensiver Arteriopathie und zerebraler Amyloidangiopathie im Modell der spontan hypertensiven stroke-prone Ratte

description: Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war die Etablierung der 2-Photonen-Mikroskopie (2PM) am Tiermodell der spontan hypertensiven stroke-prone Ratte (SHRSP), um die Pathologien der hypertensiven Arteriopathie (HA) intravital sowie postmortal darstellen zu können. Zusätzlich sollte getestet werden, ob der durch die HA induzierte Gefäßschaden ebenfalls die Entwicklung einer zerebralen Amyloidangiopathie (CAA) begünstigt. Für die Studie erfolgte die 2PM zur Darstellung der kortikalen Arteriolen mit Hilfe des fluoreszenzmarkierten Farbstoffes Dextran, die zerebrale Blutflussmessung sowie die intravitale Bildgebung mit dem Fluoreszenz-Farbstoff Methoxy-X04 zur Darstellung vaskulärer Amyloid-Ablagerungen. Postmortal erfolgte die histologische und immunhistochemische Untersuchung des Operationsgebietes auf das Vorhandensein einer HA und CAA. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die HA in der SRHSP initial durch einen Gefäßwandschaden (Stadium 1A) sowie eine Blutfluss-Reduktion (Stadium 1B) charakterisiert ist und in der Ausbildung nicht-okkludierender (Stadium 2) und okkludierender Thromben (Stadium 3) resultiert. Wistar-Kontrolltiere zeigten intravital ebenfalls einen Gefäßwandschaden, waren jedoch nicht durch die Ausbildung der späteren HA-Stadien charakterisiert. Zusätzlich wiesen etwa die Hälfte aller SHRSP vaskuläre Amyloid-Ablagerungen in Form einer CAA auf, die sich vornehmlich in Gefäßen mit unvollständigen bzw. vollständigen Gefäßverschlüssen (Stadium 2 oder 3) darstellten. Die Daten deuten somit darauf hin, dass eine fortgeschrittene HA bei der CAA-Entwicklung eine entscheidende Rolle spielt und beide Krankheitsbilder eng miteinander verbunden sind.

description: Giant Lya nebulae (or Lya "blobs") are likely sites of ongoing massive galaxy formation, but the rarity of these powerful sources has made it difficult to form a coherent picture of their properties, ionization mechanisms, and space density. Systematic narrow-band Lya nebula surveys are ongoing, but the small redshift range covered and the observational expense limit the comoving volume that can be probed by even the largest of these surveys and pose a significant problem when searching for such rare sources. We have developed a systematic search technique designed to find large Lya nebulae at 2

description: In the brave new world of digital publishing on the internet, encyclopedias have been transformed from unyieldy bookcase fillers to online databases with a seemingly unlimited potential for expansion. The web-based publication of encyclopedias seems particularly appropriate for a multi-disciplinary field such as Medieval Studies that is primarily defined by the time frame of 500–1500 CE. But in order to design databases for reference works that foster comparative research and interdisciplinarity—approaches that we hold so dear because they are rather difficult to realize in our work—it is necessary to understand how digitization and the internet have changed the role of encyclopedias in teaching and research. In the following reflection on how internet encyclopedias fit into the Western history of encyclopedia production since l'Encyclopédie (1751–1780) by Diderot and d'Alembert, I draw upon my experiences as one of the associate editors of the Encyclopædia Iranica (EIr), which includes entries on medieval Iran and medieval Persian literature as part of its comprehensive coverage of Iranian civilization from prehistory to the present (for the conceptualization of the study of medieval Iran within Iranian Studies, compare the approaches of Bulliet 1994 and Fragner 1999). Although the EIr continues to be published in print, its enlarged free online version iranicaonline.org has the potential to become a web-based collaborative project that would promote teaching and research across geographical and disciplinary boundaries.
