description: As the capabilities of manipulator robots increase, they are performing more complex tasks. The cumbersome nature of conventional programming methods limits robotic automation due to the lengthy programming time. We present a novel method for reducing the time needed to program a manipulator robot: Predictive Robot Programming (PRP). The PRP system constructs a statistical model of the user by incorporating information from previously completed tasks. Using this model, the PRP system computes predictions about where the user will move the robot. The user can reduce programming time by allowing the PRP system to complete the task automatically. In this paper, we derive a learning algorithm that estimates the structure of continuous-density hidden Markov models from tasks the user has already completed. We analyze the performance of the PRP system on two sets of data. The first set is based on data from complex, real-world robotic tasks. We show that the PRP system is able to compute predictions for about 25% of the waypoints with a median prediction error less than 0.5% of the distance traveled during prediction. We also present laboratory experiments showing that the PRP system results in a significant reduction in programming time, with users completing simple robot-programming tasks over 30% faster when using the PRP system to compute predictions of future positions.

description: Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) relies on human host cell proteins in virtually every aspect of its life cycle. Knowledge of the set of interacting human and viral proteins would greatly contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms of infection and subsequently to the design of new therapeutic approaches. This work is the first attempt to predict the global set of interactions between HIV-1 and human host cellular proteins. We propose a supervised learning framework, where multiple information data sources are utilized, including cooccurrence of functional motifs and their interaction domains and protein classes, gene ontology annotations, posttranslational modifications, tissue distributions and gene expression profiles, topological properties of the human protein in the interaction network and the similarity of HIV-1 proteins to human proteins’ known binding partners. We trained and tested a Random Forest (RF) classifier with this extensive feature set. The model’s predictions achieved an average Mean Average Precision (MAP) score of 23%. Among the predicted interactions was for example the pair, HIV-1 protein tat and human vitamin D receptor. This interaction had recently been independently validated experimentally. The rank-ordered lists of predicted interacting pairs are a rich source for generating biological hypotheses. Amongst the novel predictions, transcription regulator activity, immune system process and macromolecular complex were the top most significant molecular function, process and cellular compartments, respectively.

description: We have analyzed the dependence of average ground state energy per monomer, $e$, of the complex of two random heteropolymers with quenched sequences, on chain length, $n$, in the ensemble of chains with uniform distribution of primary sequences. Every chain monomer is randomly and independently chosen with the uniform probability distribution $p=1/c$ from a set of $c$ different types A, B, C, D, .... Monomers of the first chain could form saturating reversible bonds with monomers of the second chain. The bonds between similar monomer types (like A--A, B--B, C--C, etc.) have the attraction energy $u$, while the bonds between different monomer types (like A--B, A--D, B--D, etc.) have the attraction energy $v$. The main attention is paid to the computation of the normalized free energy $e(n)$ for intermediate chain lengths, $n$, and different ratios $a=\frac{v}{u}$ at sufficiently low temperatures when the entropic contribution of the loop formation is negligible compared to direct energetic interactions between chain monomers and the partition function of the chains is dominated by the ground state. The performed analysis allows one to derive the force, $f$, which is necessary to apply for unzipping of two random heteropolymer chains of equal lengths whose ends are separated by the distance $x$, averaged over all equally distributed primary structures at low temperatures for fixed values $a$ and $c$.

description: Several techniques are under development for image-guidance in particle therapy. Positron (β⁺) emission tomography (PET) is in use since many years, because accelerated ions generate positron-emitting isotopes by nuclear fragmentation in the human body. In heavy ion therapy, a major part of the PET signals is produced by β⁺-emitters generated via projectile fragmentation. A much higher intensity for the PET signal can be obtained using β⁺-radioactive beams directly for treatment. This idea has always been hampered by the low intensity of the secondary beams, produced by fragmentation of the primary, stable beams. With the intensity upgrade of the SIS-18 synchrotron and the isotopic separation with the fragment separator FRS in the FAIR-phase-0 in Darmstadt, it is now possible to reach radioactive ion beams with sufficient intensity to treat a tumor in small animals. This was the motivation of the BARB (Biomedical Applications of Radioactive ion Beams) experiment that is ongoing at GSI in Darmstadt. This paper will present the plans and instruments developed by the BARB collaboration for testing the use of radioactive beams in cancer therapy.

description: For a decade now, evidence has accumulated that giant molecular clouds located within the central molecular zone of our Galaxy reflect X-rays coming from past outbursts of the supermassive black hole Sgr A*. However, the number of illuminating events as well as their ages and durations are still unresolved questions. We aim to reconstruct parts of the history of Sgr A* by studying this reflection phenomenon in the molecular complex Sgr C and by determining the line-of-sight positions of its main bright substructures. Using observations made with XMM-Newton and Chandra between 2000 and 2014, we investigated the variability of the reflected emission. We carried out an imaging and a spectral analysis. We also used a Monte Carlo model of the reflected spectra to constrain the line-of-sight positions of the brightest clumps, and hence to assign an approximate date to the associated illuminating events. We show that the emission from Sgr C exhibits significant variability in both space and time, which confirms its reflection origin. The most likely illuminating source is Sgr A*. We report two distinct variability timescales, as one clump undergoes a sudden rise and fall in about 2005, while two others vary smoothly throughout the whole 2000-2014 period. By fitting the Monte Carlo model to the data, we are able to place tight constraints on the 3D positions of the clumps. These two independent approaches provide a consistent picture of the past activity of Sgr A*, since the two slowly varying clumps are located on the same wavefront, while the rapidly varying clump corresponds to a different wavefront, that is, to a different illuminating event. We show that Sgr A* experienced at least two powerful outbursts in the past 300 years, and for the first time, we provide an estimation of their age. Extending this approach to other molecular complexes will allow this scenario to be tested further.

description: We present a kinetic Monte Carlo method for simulating chemical transformations specified by reaction rules, which can be viewed as generators of chemical reactions, or equivalently, definitions of reaction classes. A rule identifies the molecular components involved in a transformation, how these components change, conditions that affect whether a transformation occurs, and a rate law. The computational cost of the method, unlike conventional simulation approaches, is independent of the number of possible reactions, which need not be specified in advance or explicitly generated in a simulation. To demonstrate the method, we apply it to study the kinetics of multivalent ligand-receptor interactions. We expect the method will be useful for studying cellular signaling systems and other physical systems involving aggregation phenomena.

description: In this paper, we present a new algorithm for parallel and anti-parallel beta-sheet prediction using conditional random fields. In recent years, various approaches have been proposed to capture the long-range interactions of beta-sheets. However, most of them are not very successful: either the learning models are not general enough to capture the non-local information, or the features they used do not contain the information, for example, the window based profiles. Our new method has the advantages over previous methods in two aspects: (1) It takes into account both the local information and long-range interaction information (2) The condition random fields are powerful models that are able to capture long-range interaction features. The experimental results show that our algorithm performs significantly better than the state-of-art secondary structure prediction methods.

description: Associated to any acyclic cluster algebra is a corresponding triangulated category known as the cluster category. It is known that there is a one-to-one correspondence between cluster variables in the cluster algebra and exceptional indecomposable objects in the cluster category inducing a correspondence between clusters and cluster-tilting objects. Fix a cluster-tilting object T and a corresponding initial cluster. By the Laurent phenomenon, every cluster variable can be written as a Laurent polynomial in the initial cluster. We give conditions on T equivalent to the fact that the denominator in the reduced form for every cluster variable in the cluster algebra has exponents given by the dimension vector of the corresponding module over the endomorphism algebra of T.

Je reçus avec l'honneur de votre lettre du 21e passé, la boîte d'oignons ou bulbe que vous m'adressâtes pour remettre à M. le marquis de Méjanes pour les porter à Paris à son prochain voyage. Malheureusement, le porteur me remit votre commission au moment de son départ. D'un autre côté, M. le marquis n'étant pas encore arrivé d'Aix, je ne pus lui remettre que quelques jours après et n'ayant pu lui parler, j'y retournai le lendemain mercredi et il m'assura alors de vive voix qu'il s'en chargerait avec plaisir et qu'il vous avait écrit par le courrier. Il m'ajouta qu'il me remettrait au premier jour un livre pour vous faire passer. Je suis mortifié que ce petit silence ait pu vous inquiéter et vous fatiguer au point que je vois par l'honneur de votre seconde lettre du second du courant. Je vous fais mes excuses à ce sujet et je vous prie de me continuer [fol. 120 v] votre amitié. Vous pouvez disposer de moi dans toutes les occasions.

Je viens maintenant de chez M. le marquis. Il m'a dit qu'il n'avait pu jusqu'à présent m'envoyer le livre qu'il m'avait annoncé, mais qu'il me le ferait passer demain. Du moment que je l'aurai reçu, je chercherai une commodité sûre pour vous le faire parvenir. Je compte que M. de Méjanes partira le 14e du courant.

J'ai l'honneur d'être toujours très respectueusement,

Monsieur,

description: The throughput of submarine transport cables is approaching fundamental limits imposed by amplifier noise and Kerr nonlinearity. Energy constraints in ultra-long submarine links exacerbate this problem, as the throughput per fiber is further limited by the electrical power available to the undersea optical amplifiers. Recent works have studied how employing more spatial dimensions can mitigate these limitations. In this paper, we address the fundamental question of how to optimally use each spatial dimension. Specifically, we discuss how to optimize the channel power allocation in order to maximize the information-theoretic capacity under an electrical power constraint. Our formulation accounts for amplifier physics, Kerr nonlinearity, and power feed constraints. Whereas recent works assume the optical amplifiers operate in deep saturation, where power-conversion efficiency (PCE) is high, we show that given a power constraint, operating in a less saturated regime, where PCE is lower, supports a wider bandwidth and a larger number of spatial dimensions, thereby maximizing capacity. This design strategy increases the capacity of submarine links by about 70% compared to the theoretical capacity of a recently proposed high-capacity system.

description: The coordinate transformation on the space that contains electromagnetic sources is studied. We find that, not only the permittivity and permeability tensors of the media, but also the sources inside the media will take another form in order to behave equivalently as the original case. It is demonstrated that, a source of arbitrary shape and position in the free space can be replaced by an appropriately designed metamaterial coating with current distributed on the inner surface and would not be detected by outer observers, because the emission of the source can be controlled at will in this way. As examples, we show how to design conformal antennas by covering the sources with transformation media. The method proposed in this letter provides a completely new approach to develop novel active EM devices.

description:  Repositories of code written by end-user program-mers are beginning to emerge, but when a piece of code is new or nobody has yet reused it, then current repositories provide users with no information about whether that code might be appropriate for reuse. Ad-dressing this problem requires predicting reusability based on information that exists when a script is created. To provide such a model for web macro scripts, we identified script traits that might plausibly predict reuse, then used IBM CoScripter repository logs to statistically test how well each corresponded to reuse. We then built a machine learning model that combines the useful traits and evaluated how well it can predict four different types of reuse that we saw in the repository logs. Our model was able to predict reuse from a surprisingly small set of traits. It is simple enough to be explained in only 6-11 rules, making it potentially viable for integration in repository search engines for end-user programmers.

description: We address the role of a user in Contextual Named Entity Retrieval (CNER), showing (1) that user identification of important context-bearing terms is superior to automated approaches, and (2) that further gains are possible if the user indicates the relative importance of those terms. CNER is similar in spirit to List Question answering and Entity disambiguation. However, the main focus of CNER is to obtain user feedback for constructing a profile for a class of entities on the fly and use that to retrieve entities from free text. Given a sentence, and an entity selected from that sentence, CNER aims to retrieve sentences that have entities similar to query entity. This paper explores obtaining term relevance feedback and importance weighting from humans in order to improve a CNER system. We report our findings based on the efforts of IR researchers as well as crowdsourced workers.

Continuing the work [CK] which gave a sufficient condition for a group $\mathcal{W}$ acting on the fixed point set of an algebraic torus action $(S,X)$ on a complex projective variety $X$ to lift to a representation of $\mathcal{W}$ on the cohomology algebra $H^*(X)$ (over $\mathbb{C}$), we describe when the representation on $H^*(X)$ is equivalent to the representation of $\mathcal{W}$ on the cohomology $H^*(X^S)$ of the fixed point set. As a consequence of this theorem, we give a simple proof in type $A$ of the Alvis-Lusztig-Treumann Theorem, which describes Springer's representation of $W$ for Springer varieties corresponding to nilpotents in a Levi subalgebra of Lie$(G)$. In the final two sections, we describe the local structure of the moment graph $\mathfrak{M}(X)$ of a special torus action $(S,X)$, and we also show that if a finite group $\mathcal{W}$ acts on the moment graph of $X$, then $\mathcal{W}$ induces pair of actions on $H^*(X)$, namely the left and right or dot and star actions of Knutson [Knu] and Tymoczko [Tym] respectively. In particular, $W$ acts on the moment (or Bruhat) graph $\mathfrak{M}(G/P)$ of $(T,G/P)$ for any parabolic $P$ in $G$ containing $T$, and the right action of $W$ on $H^*(G/P)$ is an induced representation. Furthermore, we show the left action of $W$ on $H^*(G/P)$ is trivial.
description: This article is a slightly expanded version of the article of the same title that appears in Transformation Groups, 25(2), 441-455 (2020). The original arXiv version did not contain the results on GKM actions. The additional results concern the left and right actions of the Weyl group W on the cohomology of G/P

description: An analytical theory is developed for parametric interactions in metamaterial multilayer structures with simultaneous nonlinear electronic and magnetic responses and with near-zero refractive-index. We demonstrate theoretically that electromagnetic fields of certain frequencies can be parametrically shielded by a nonlinear left-handed material slab, where the permittivity and permeability are both negative. The skin depth is tunable, and even in the absence of material absorption, can be much less than the wavelength of the electromagnetic field being shielded. This exotic behavior is a consequence of the intricate nonlinear response in the left-handed materials and vanishing optical refractive-index at the pump frequency.

description: Protein fold recognition is a key step towards inferring the tertiary structures from amino-acid sequences. Complex folds such as those consisting of interacting structural repeats are prevalent in proteins involved in a wide spectrum of biological functions. However, extant approaches often perform inadequately due to their inability to capture long-range interactions between structural units and to handle low sequence similarities across proteins (under 25% identity). In this paper, we propose a chain graph model built on a causally connected series of segmentation conditional random fields (SCRFs) to address these issues. Specifically, the SCRF model captures long-range interactions within recurring structural units and the Bayesian network backbone decomposes cross-repeat interactions into locally computable modules consisting of repeat-specific SCRFs and a model for sequence motifs. We applied this model to predict β -helices and leucine-rich repeats, and found it significantly outperforms extant methods in predictive accuracy and/or computational efficiency.

description: General relativistic quantum dynamics of twisted (vortex) Dirac particles is constructed. The Hamiltonian and equations of motion in the Foldy-Wouthuysen representation are derived for a twisted relativistic electron in arbitrary electric and magnetic fields. A critical experiment for a verification of the results is proposed. The new important effect of a radiative orbital polarization of a twisted electron beam in a magnetic field resulting in a nonzero average projection of the intrinsic orbital angular momentum on the field direction is predicted.

DESCRIPTION
Holotype (Fig. 10A, B). Shell small, rissoiform, white, consisting of seven whorls. Protoconch (Fig. 10C) with smooth initial whorl, with globular, prominent nucleus; second larval whorl sculptured with six evenly spaced rows of granules. Protoconch ending in broad sinusigera notch, not lined by raised lip. Teleoconch forming slightly pupiform conical spire, with flat whorls. Early teleoconch whorls sculptured with two spiral cords, close to suture; following whorls bearing four, equidistant, sub-equal cords with small but prominent nodules aligned along axial riblets. Riblets becoming obsolete on older part of teleoconch whorls. Suture at bottom of deep furrow, just below obsolete, smooth spiral cord. Body whorl occupying 60% of total shell height. Base convex, with five concentric cords, plus one small cord extending into umbilicus; axial sculpture not extending over base. Umbilicus reduced to narrow chink along columella; apertural tube overhanging umbilicus. Fine incremental lines visible on body whorl. In addition, microsculpture of small granules scattered all over teleoconch. Peristome formed by successive concentric tubes, flaring at their ends, and together forming conical protrusion over oblique plane of peristome. No labral varix present.
Dimensions
H = 3.1 mm, D = 1.7 mm. REMARKS
The general appearance is that of many Rissoidae, but allocation to the Pickworthiidae is fairly certain. Characters of the spire, base, and aperture suggest placement in Reynellona. The sculpture of four spiral cords with nodules aligned along axial costulae resembles that of Microliotia Boettger, 1902.

description: We analyse the clustering of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 14 quasar sample (DR14Q). We measure the redshift space distortions using the power spectrum monopole, quadrupole and hexadecapole inferred from 148,659 quasars between redshifts 0.8 and 2.2 covering a total sky footprint of 2112.9 deg$^2$. We constrain the logarithmic growth of structure times the amplitude of dark matter density fluctuations, $fσ_8$, and the Alcock-Paczynski dilation scales which allow constraints to be placed on the angular diameter distance $D_A(z)$ and the Hubble $H(z)$ parameter. At the effective redshift of $z_{\rm eff}=1.52$, $fσ_8(z_{\rm eff})=0.420\pm0.076$, $H(z_{\rm eff})=[162\pm 12]\, (r_s^{\rm fid}/r_s)\,{\rm km\, s}^{-1}{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$, and $D_A(z_{\rm eff})=[1.85\pm 0.11]\times10^3\,(r_s/r_s^{\rm fid})\,{\rm Mpc}$, where $r_s$ is the comoving sound horizon at the baryon drag epoch and the superscript `fid' stands for its fiducial value. The errors take into account the full error budget, including systematics and statistical contributions. These results are in full agreement with the current $Λ$-Cold Dark Matter ($Λ$CDM) cosmological model inferred from Planck measurements. Finally, we compare our measurements with other eBOSS companion papers and find excellent agreement, demonstrating the consistency and complementarity of the different methods used for analysing the data.

description: We present near–IR images, obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the WFC3/IR camera, of six passive and massive galaxies at redshift 1.3 < z < 2.4 (SSFR< 10−2 Gyr−1; stellar mass M ∼ 1011 M⊙), selected from the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS). These images, which have a spatial resolution of ∼ 1.5 kpc, provide the deepest view of the optical rest–frame morphology of such systems to date. We find that the light profile of these galaxies is regular and well described by a Sérsic model with index typical of today’s spheroids. Their size, however, is generally much smaller than today’s early types of similar stellar mass, with four out of six galaxies having re ∼ 1 kpc or less, in quantitative agreement with previous similar measures made at rest–frame UV wavelengths. The images reach limiting surface brightness µ ∼26.5 mag arcsec−2 in the F160W bandpass; yet, there is no evidence of a faint halo in the galaxies of our sample, even in their stacked image. We also find that these galaxies have very weak “morphological k–correction” between the rest–frame UV (from the ACS z–band), and the rest–frame optical (WFC3 H–band): the Sérsic index, physical size and overall morphology are independent or only mildly dependent on the wavelength, within the errors.

Non-Gaussian Density Fluctuations from Entropically Generated Curvature Perturbations in Ekpyrotic Models

description: We analyze the non-gaussian density perturbations generated in ekpyrotic/cyclic models based on heterotic M-theory. In this picture, two scalar fields produce nearly scale-invariant entropic perturbations during an ekpyrotic phase that are converted into curvature modes {\it after the ekpyrotic phase is complete} and just before the big bang. Both intrinsic non-linearity in the entropy perturbation and the conversion process contribute to non-gaussianity. The range of the non-gaussianity parameter $f_{NL}$ depends on how gradual the conversion process is and the steepness of the scalar field potential during the ekpyrotic phase. Although a wider range is possible, in principle, natural values of the ekpyrotic parameters combined with a gradual conversion process lead to values of $-60 \lesssim f_{NL} \lesssim +80$, typically much greater than slow-roll inflation but within the current observational bounds.

PRO-Ethics D4.5 Results of three workshops with ethics committees and research integrity bodies

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Throughout the course of the PRO-Ethics project, it has been vital to engage with the wealth of expertise that exists in the field of research ethics and integrity. Although this project developed something novel in the form of an ethical framework to guide the principles and activities of research and innovation funding organisations with respect to participation in their processes, it also built on a huge amount of existing knowledge and practice in related fields.

To this end, insights, reflection and feedback were gathered from research ethics committees (RECs) and research integrity offices (RIOs), with the overall goal to build a community of ethics and integrity experts that are engaged in the progress and outputs of PRO-Ethics. Through this, we wanted to identify and engage organisations and individuals who could contribute their expertise to the development of the pilots and ethical framework. At the same time, we intended to provide these stakeholders with useful learning and case studies to develop their own practices and resources to support the institutions they serve.

The workshops organised for this task aimed to serve the needs of the external stakeholders invited to participate, in addition to supporting the learning and iteration of activities led by the wider PRO-Ethics consortium. This report summarises the key lessons learnt from research ethics and integrity experts engaged, explains how insights were embedded in the development of PRO-Ethics framework and guidelines and reflects on wider lessons from delivery of this task.

description: Auto-ignition process of stoichiometric mixture of methane-air is investigated using detailed chemical kinetics in a single-zone combustion chamber. Effect of initial temperature on start of combustion (SOC). The Arrhenius expression for the specific reaction rate are calculated and auto-ignition was evaluated based on the species fractions and sensitivity analysis. Our results suggest that the SOC is directly related to initial temperature and the auto-ignition will not occur if the initial temperature low enough.
