description: Optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) in traveling wave configuration can generate localized spatial quantum correlations between a signal and an idler beam, a useful resource for quantum imaging. This study focuses on the classical transverse dynamics of the signal and idler beams when they propagate in a generic thick OPA at a nominally small angle. It shows that the beams tend to copropagate while maintaining a fixed separation, a phenomenon that we term hitching. We provide a model for hitching, validated by a numerical simulation, and we provide an experimental demonstration using four-wave mixing (4WM) in a hot atomic vapor. It shows that the OPA gain is the primary influence on the final hitching distance. These results have implications for the generation of multi-spatial-mode squeezed light for quantum imaging applications, where the exact spatial correspondence between the quantum fluctuations of the signal and the idler is of prime importance.

The Role of Human Cord Blood Endothelial Colony Forming Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles In Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
Creators: name: Haneef, Randa

description: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a sudden reduction in renal function, associated with a high mortality rate. The main cause of AKI is ischemia reperfusion injury. We previously found that administration of endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs) or their derived exosomes protects ischemic renal cells against ischemia via paracrine action. Moreover, ECFC-derived exosomes are highly enriched with miRNA-486-5p, which protects against ischemia. Unexpectedly, ECFC infusion into mice with AKI attenuates renal endothelial cell proliferation. Therefore, we examined the role of ECFC-derived exosomes and microparticles (MPs) on endothelial cell angiogenic properties (proliferation and migration) in vitro, the pathways by which exosomes get internalized into endothelial cells, and the effects of miRNA-486-5p on endothelial cell migration. Results: ECFC-derived exosomes and MPs enhance endothelial cell proliferation in hypoxia and normoxia, and improve cellular migration. Finally, miRNA-486-5p plays a role in inducing HUVEC migration in normoxia. Conclusion: These findings indicate that ECFC-derived exosomes and MPs protect endothelial cells against ischemia by activating cellular migration, and that miRNA-486-5p plays a role in endothelial cell recovery after ischemia.

description: We report on spectroscopy of the low-lying electronic transitions in $^{224}$Ra$^+$. The ion's low charge to mass ratio and convenient wavelengths make $^{224}$Ra$^+$ a promising optical clock candidate. We measured the frequencies of the the $^2{S}_{1/2} \ $$\leftrightarrow$$\ ^2{P}_{1/2}$ cooling transition, the $^2{S}_{1/2}\ $$\leftrightarrow$$\ ^2{D}_{5/2}$ clock transition, the $^2{D}_{3/2} \ $$\leftrightarrow$$\ ^2{P}_{3/2}$ electric dipole transition, and the $^2{D}_{5/2} \ $$\leftrightarrow$$\ ^2{P}_{3/2}$ cleanout transition. From these measurements we calculate the frequencies of the $^2{D}_{3/2}\ $$\leftrightarrow$$\ ^2{P}_{1/2}$ repump transition, the $^2{S}_{1/2} \ $$\leftrightarrow$$\ ^2{D}_{3/2}$ electric quadrupole transition, and the $^2{S}_{1/2} \ $$\leftrightarrow$$\ ^2{P}_{3/2}$ electric dipole transition.

description: The lack of a well-defined equilibrium reference configuration has long hindered a comprehensive atomic-level understanding of liquid dynamics and properties. The Instantaneous Normal Mode (INM) approach, which involves diagonalizing the Hessian matrix of potential energy in instantaneous liquid configurations, has emerged as a promising framework in this direction. However, several conceptual challenges remain, particularly related to the approach's inability to capture anharmonic effects. In this study, we present a set of "experimental facts" through a comprehensive INM analysis of simulated systems, including Ar, Xe, N$_2$, CS$_2$, Ga, and Pb, across a wide temperature range from the solid to gas phase. First, we examine the INM density of states (DOS) and compare it to the DOS obtained from the velocity auto-correlation function. We then analyze the temperature dependence of the fraction of unstable modes and the low-frequency slope of the INM DOS in search of potential universal behaviors. Furthermore, we explore the relationship between INMs and other properties of liquids, including the liquid-like to gas-like dynamical crossover and the momentum gap of collective shear waves. In addition, we investigate the INM spectrum at low temperatures as the system approaches the solid phase, revealing a significant fraction of unstable modes even in crystalline solids. Finally, we confirm the existence of a recently discussed cusp-like singularity in the INM eigenvalue spectrum and uncover its complex temperature-dependent behavior, challenging current theoretical models.

Collegiate Student Organizations Participating in Chemistry Outreach: A Case Study Characterizing the Community of Practice

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020

description: Outreach initiatives are typically framed as informal learning environments that provide an opportunity to increase the participants’ interest in science. Research on chemistry outreach has primarily focused on designing and implementing demonstrations for outreach. Recent studies indicate student organizations are at the forefront of chemistry outreach, describing their outreach practices and facilitators’ conceptual understanding of demonstrations. Although leadership has been linked to success of groups and organizations, the leadership structure of student organizations is an understudied aspect of chemistry outreach. Here, we conceptualize student organizations participating in chemistry outreach as a community of practice (CoP) with the goal of expanding the chemistry education community’s knowledge of this CoP. Specifically, we aim to characterize leadership styles within the student organization in the context of an outreach event; and, to explore how factors related to diversity and inclusion play a role in boundary processes of the student organization as a CoP. Using a case study approach, we collected multiple sources of data, including the organization’s outreach practices, an assessment of leadership style, observations, and semi-structured interviews. Results indicate leaders of the student organization, particularly those in charge of planning outreach events, displayed behaviors associated with the transactional and laissez-faire leadership styles more frequently than behaviors associated with the transformational leadership style. This study also suggested students’ prior experiences related to gender, race/ethnicity, education and other outreach events play a role in their reasons for doing chemistry outreach, how they contribute to planning of events and how they interact with the audience of outreach events. As a long-term outcome for this study, the results can be used by national organizations to inform the development of new workshops for leadership training, with the purpose of teaching practices to leaders that can bring success to their chapter or local group.

Protein trafficking

description: Lowe Syndrome (LS) is a lethal developmental disease characterized by mental retardation, cataracts at birth and kidney dysfunction. LS children unfortunately die by adolescence from renal failure. The gene responsible for the disease (OCRL1) encodes an inositol 5’ phosphatase Ocrl1. In addition to its 5’ phosphatase domain, this protein has other domains that allow protein-protein interactions, facilitating diverse sub-cellular distribution and functions. LS patient cells lacking Ocrl1 display defects in cell spreading, ciliogenesis and vesicle trafficking. Currently the mechanisms underlying these cellular defects are not known, and hence no LS-specific therapies exist. We have uncovered the mechanisms underlying two LS-specific cellular phenotypes- namely cell spreading and ciliogenesis and identified 2 FDA-approved candidates- statins and rapamycin that could revert these abnormalities. We found that Ocrl1-deficient cells exhibit hyperactivation in mTOR signaling, resulting in ciliogenesis as well as autophagy defects, which were rescued by administering rapamycin. We also identified a novel RhoGTPase signaling-dependent cell adhesion defect in LS patient cells which resulted in focal adhesion abnormalities and sensitivity to fluid shear stress (critical for kidney function). Both RhoGTPase signaling dependent cell spreading and adhesion defects were corrected by treatment with statins. Importantly, over 200 unique mutations in OCRL1 cause LS and patients demonstrate heterogeneity in symptoms. However, the correlation between genotype and cellular phenotypes is unknown. We have determined that different OCRL1 patient mutations have a differential impact on the two cellular phenotypes described above. Mutants exhibit behavior, sub-cellular distribution and cellular phenotypes unique to the domain and relevant to LS pathogenesis. We also propose that a subset of non-catalytic phosphatase domain mutations are conformationally affecting the protein, suggesting that LS has a conformational disease component. Importantly, we tested an FDA-approved drug, 4-phenyl butyric acid (4-PBA), used as a therapeutic in conformational diseases and found that it could revert phenotypes and restore the catalytic activity of these mutants. These findings collectively contribute to provide the cellular basis for LS patient heterogeneity as well as to propose a conformational disease component for LS (allowing the use of chemical chaperones as a therapeutic strategy for a subset of LS patients). Together, we hope that these studies will help lay the foundation of better prognosis and tailoring personalized therapeutic strategies for LS patients.

description: The intensity noise of a laser source represents one of the key factors limiting the ultimate sensitivity in laser-based systems for sensing and telecommunication. For advanced applications based on interferometry, the availability of a shot-noise-limited local oscillator is even more important for the effective feasibility of high-precision measurements. This is particularly crucial in quantum optics applications based on homodyne detection schemes to measure non-classical light states, such as squeezed states. This work deeply investigates and analyzes the intensity noise features of the most widely used mid-infrared semiconductor heterostructured lasers: quantum cascade and interband cascade lasers. For this purpose, a comprehensive comparison of three different continuous-wave lasers operating at room temperature around 4.5 μm wavelength is presented. First, a thorough electro-optical characterization is given, highlighting the differences and the shared common characteristics of the tested devices. Then, a detailed intensity noise analysis is reported, identifying their different noise operations with a particular reference to shot-noise-limited operations. Finally, some perspectives towards advanced applications are discussed.

description: To what extent do Black/African American (Black), Hispanic/Latinx (Latinx), and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander (NHPI) students have access to being identified with gifts and talents? In places where they have access to identification, how equitably are they identified? And, to what extent are they missing from identification with gifts and talents due to lack of access or underidentification? This study used the Civil Rights Data Collection for the years 2000, 2011–2012, 2013–2014, and 2015–2016 to investigate underrepresentation of Black, Latinx, and NHPI youth with gifts and talents, nationally and by state. The data in these years were census data, meaning data from every child who attends public school is included. Data were also examined by Title I and Non-Title I school status and by locale (i.e., City, Suburb, Town, Rural) to determine how school poverty concentration and/or school locale affect identification of Black, Latinx, and NHPI youth. All states were analyzed for Black and Latinx youth, but due to the small NHPI student populations in some states this analysis was limited to a 20 state sample. Nationally, and in 37, 31, and all 20 states analyzed, respectively, lack of access to identification was not a major contributing factor to underrepresentation. The disparity in identification percentages between schools by Title I status showed 45% fewer Black students, 21% fewer Latinx students, and 15% fewer NHPI students were identified in Title I schools. Additionally, in every state and setting, Black, Latinx, and NHPI youth were underidentified with 92%, 92%, and 67%, respectively, of the equity ratios and 92%, 93%, and 61%, respectively, of the representation indices less than the minimum criterion of 0.80. In 2015-2016, there were 276,840 Black students with gifts and talents identified with an estimated 469,213 (62.89%) to 771,728 (73.60%) missing from identification; 588,891 Latinx students with gifts and talents identified with an estimated 658,544 (52.79%) to 1,164,363 (66.41%) missing from gifted identification; and among the 20 state sample, 6,594 NHPI students with gifts and talents identified with an estimated 7,236 (52.32%) to 9,253 (58.39%) missing from gifted identification.

description: To see if aggressive diuresis in first twenty four hours is associated with a comparable number of total days in the hospital as compared to non-aggressive diuresis. In this retrospective cohort study, we compared the length of hospital stay of consecutive patients admitted in one year based on their diuresis during the first twenty-four hours of hospitalization: aggressive diuresis (group 1) i.e. > 2400mL versus non-aggressive diuresis (group 2) i.e. ≤ 2400mL urine output. Patients were excluded if in cardiogenic shock, had creatinine level above 3 mg/dL on admission, or on dialysis. A total of 194 patients were enrolled (29 in group 1 and 165 in group 2 respectively). The Kaplan-Meier estimate of the median cumulative proportion of patients still hospitalized for the group 1 was 4 days and in group 2 was 5 days (log-rank test; P=0.67). In univariate analysis, Cox PH regression showed unadjusted hazard rate of discharge from hospital was slightly higher in group 1 than group 2 but was statistically non-significant (HR=1.08; P=0.70). In multivariate Cox model analysis, creatinine at the time of admission when greater than 1.6mg/dL (P=0.75), LVEF (P= 0.14), total twenty-four hours dose of intravenous Furosemide given (P=0.98) and interaction between Furosemide dose and Creatinine level (P=0.79) were not significant predictor of hospital discharge. Adjusted hazard rate for discharge from hospital was 12% higher in group 1 than group 2 but still statistically non-significant (HR=1.12; P=0.60). Since the length of hospital stay is similar between two groups, we suggest the goal of diuresis to be less than 2400mL in first twenty-four hours to prevent excessive dehydration.
Investigating population dynamics and demographics for conservation and management using genomics, eRNA, and eDNA

Publisher: name: Washington State University

description: Populations are central units in ecology and evolution, as they are the level at which ecological and evolutionary processes act. Populations are also central units in conservation and management as the long-term persistence of species requires many viable populations. In order to make effective conservation and management decisions, a comprehensive understanding of focal populations is required, but can be difficult to obtain for rare or cryptic species. However, for difficult to study species, genomic techniques can fill in gaps of knowledge and lead to more informed decision-making. The three chapters in this dissertation explore the dynamics and demographics of populations to aid in the conservation of imperiled species using genomic data and environmental nucleic acids. Chapter one describes the efficacy of environmental RNA to distinguish life stages in amphibian populations using gene-specific assays developed and tested in multiple taxa. Chapter two investigates the relationship between environmental DNA concentrations and population size at varying environmental and conditions, providing important implications for the precision of these population estimates. Finally, chapter three explores the dynamics of natural and anthropogenic hybridization in an endangered amphibian taxon using adaptive genomic variation. This dissertation highlights our ability to further understand population dynamics and demographics in threatened taxa using genomic techniques and apply those to conservation and management situations.

description: Prediction models are crucial in the stock market as they aid in forecasting future prices and trends, enabling investors to make informed decisions and manage risks more effectively. In the Indian stock market, where volatility is often high, accurate predictions can provide a significant edge in capitalizing on market movements. While various models like regression and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have been explored for this purpose, studies have shown that Long Short-Term Memory networks (LSTMs) are the most effective. This is because they can capture complex temporal dependencies present in financial data. This paper presents a Bidirectional Multivariate LSTM model designed to predict short-term stock prices of Indian companies in the NIFTY 100 across four major sectors. Both Univariate LSTM and Univariate Bidirectional LSTM models were evaluated based on R2 score, RMSE, MSE, MAE, and MAPE. To improve predictive accuracy, the analysis was extended to multivariate data. Additionally, 12 technical indicators, having high correlation values with the close price(greater than 0.99) including EMA5, SMA5, TRIMA5, KAMA10 and the Bollinger Bands were selected as variables to further optimize the prediction models. The proposed Bidirectional Multivariate LSTM model, when applied to a dataset containing these indicators, achieved an exceptionally high average R2 score of 99.4779% across the four stocks, which is 3.9833% higher than that of the Unidirectional Multivariate LSTM without technical indicators. The proposed model has an average RMSE of 0.0103955, an average MAE of 0.007485 and an average MAPE of 1.1635%. This highlights the model's exceptional forecasting accuracy and emphasizes its potential to improve short-term trading strategies.

description: Recent scanning-tunneling microscopy on hole-doped Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_8$, one of the materials of the cuprate family, finds a long-range ordered spontaneous splitting of the energy levels of oxygen orbitals inside the CuO$_2$ unit cells [S. Wang et al., Nat. Mat. 23, 492-498 (2024)]. This spontaneous intra-unit-cell orbital ordering, also known as electronic nematicity, breaks $C_4$ symmetry and is thought to arise from the Coulomb interaction (denoted by $V_{pp}$) between oxygen $p_x$ and $p_y$ electrons. In this work, we study the spontaneous emergence of electronic nematicity within the three-band Hubbard (aka the Emery-VSA model), using cluster dynamical mean field theory. This method incorporates short-range electronic correlations and gives us access to the density of states, a quantity that is directly probed in experiments. We argue that there is a delicate competition between $V_{pp}$ and $V_{pd}$ (the latter being the Coulomb interaction between copper $d_{x^2-y^2}$ and oxygen $p_{x,y}$ electrons) that must be taken into account in order to find a Zhang-Rice singlet band well-resolved from the upper Hubbard band, and a splitting of the charge-transfer band (one of the signatures of charge nematicity) by roughly 50 meV, as observed recently.

description: Black women’s underrepresentation in STEM disciplines remains an urgent problem of major concern in higher education institutions across the United States. The purpose of this investigation was to explore Black women’s experiences in an active learning STEM Human Centered Design course at a Predominantly White Institution. It also examined how these experiences influenced Black women’s intent to persist in STEM educational pathways. Black Feminist Thought Theoretical Framework was used to conceptualize and interpret the experiences of five Black female first year undergraduate students at a Predominantly White Institution in the Midwestern region of the United States. This qualitative case study research utilized semi structured interviews, direct observations, and documents to gather and triangulate data for this study. The findings from this study revealed that: (a) Imposter Syndrome: An Enduring Internalized Question of Competency, (b) Undermining of Academic Abilities: Cross Examination of Intellect, (c) Lack of Diversity: A Colorless Norm, (d) Isolation: Intrinsic Sensitivity of Separation from Others were the salient experiences facing these five undergraduate Black women. This investigation contributes to the dearth of scholarship on Black women in STEM by highlighting their undergraduate experiences in a STEM course, and describing ways to ensure their persistence towards STEM educational pathways.

description: This study presents a new reading of the Perlesvaus, an anonymous thirteenth-century Old French Grail romance bizarrely structured around an Arthurian restaging of the battle between the Old and the New Law. I construe this hyper-violent, phantasmagorical text as a profoundly significant work of “trauma fiction” encoding a hitherto-unrecognized crisis of religious ethics and identity in Western Europe in the first half of the thirteenth century. Combining literary and historical analysis and drawing on current trends in trauma studies, I tie what I term the “deranged discourse” of the Perlesvaus to the brutal onset of internal crusading in southern France (the papal-sponsored Albigensian Crusade, 1209-29), making the case that the collective trauma staged in its narrative perturbations was a contributing factor in the well-documented worsening of Western European antisemitism during this period. One key analytical construct I develop is the “doppelganger Jew”—personified in the Perlesvaus by its schizoid authority figure, Josephus, a conflation of first Christian priest and first-century Romano-Jewish historian—who functions as an uncanny embodiment of powerful, unacknowledged fears that Christians were losing their spiritual moorings and reverting into reviled, scapegoated Jews. Traces of this collective trauma are explored in other contemporary texts, and one chapter examines how the fourteenth-century Book of John Mandeville revives similar fears of collapsing Judeo-Christian identity and unfolds under the sign of the doppelganger Jew.

description: We perform a theoretical study of vacuum polarization corrections to the hyperfine structure in many-electron atoms. Calculations are performed for systems of interest for precision atomic tests of fundamental physics belonging to the alkali-metal atoms and singly-ionized alkaline earths. The vacuum polarization is considered in the Uehling approximation, and we study the many-body effects core relaxation, core polarization, and valence-core correlations in the relativistic framework. We find that for s states, the relative vacuum polarization correction may be well-approximated by that for hydrogenlike ions, though for all other states account of many-body effects -- in particular, the polarization of the core -- is needed to obtain the correct sign and magnitude of the correction.

Through their grief narratives, survivors of homicide victims in Baltimore and survivors of the Rwandan genocide express the ways that their grief processes have been disenfranchised by public and private reactions to violent death. Based on the wisdom of lived experience, Rwandese genocide survivors and survivors of homicide victims in Baltimore discuss the realities that permit and provoke what is revealed to be genocide ideology in Urban, Black America; a stark reminder of the slow but severe escalation of violence that preceded the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. This project does not claim that there is a genocide in Baltimore, nor does it provide simple comparisons between Baltimore and Rwanda. It explores the human experiences of grief as a result of both homicide and genocide, and, using the power of witnessing, confront the genocide ideology that shrouds Baltimore communities in knotted webs of violence.

description: Estola marmorata Breuning, 1940
Estola marmorata Breuning, 1940: 67; Monné, 2023: 606 (cat.).
Remarks. – This species was described based on at least two specimens from Brazil (“Santos, Ilha Santo Amaro”). Breuning (1940), indicated: “Länge [length] 8 ½– 12 mm, Breite [width] 3-4 mm. However, he also indicated that there was a type: “Typ von Brazilien … [type from Brazil …]. Breuning (1974) incorrectly reported that the species was described based on a single specimen. Furthermore, E. marmorata was collected by G.E. Bryant in 1912, on Santo Amaro Island, near Santos, as indicated on the label. Therefore, the type locality of E. marmorata is Santo Amaro Island, which is located in the Brazilian state of São Paulo, and not Santos. The city of Guarujá occupies the entire area of Santo Amaro Island.
Currently, the species is known from Venezuela, Bolivia (Santa Cruz) and Brazil (Pernambuco, Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo) (Bezark 2023b; Monné 2023; Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2023).

description: Glioma is a deadly cancer which affects glial cells in the brain. Several genetic subtypes of glioma exist, and each of them respond better to a specific treatment. Therefore, subtype identification is essential in patients. Here we compared the effect of Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and two standard feature extraction methods,Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and Differential Expression Analysis (DEA), on glioma subtype prediction.

description: Computationally efficient solutions for pseudometrics quantifying deviation from topological conjugacy between dynamical systems are presented. Deviation from conjugacy is quantified in a Pareto optimal sense that accounts for spectral properties of Koopman operators as well as trajectory geometry. Theoretical justification is provided for computing such pseudometrics in Koopman eigenfunction space rather than observable space. Furthermore, it is shown that theoretical consistency with topological conjugacy can be maintained when restricting the search for optimal transformations between systems to the unitary group. Therefore the pseudometrics are based on analytical solutions for unitary transformations in Koopman eigenfunction space. Geometric considerations for the deviation from conjugacy Pareto optimality problem are used to develop scalar pseudometrics that account for all possible optimal solutions given just two Pareto points. The approach is demonstrated on two example problems; the first being a simple benchmarking problem and the second an engineering example comparing the dynamics of morphological computation of biological nonlinear muscle actuators to simplified mad-made (including bioinspired) approaches. The benefits of considering operator and trajectory geometry based dissimilarity measures in a unified and consistent formalism is demonstrated. Overall, the deviation from conjugacy pseudometrics provide practical advantages in terms of efficiency and scalability, while maintaining theoretical consistency.

description: We investigate T-duality transformation on an almost bi-hermitian space with torsion. By virtue of the Buscher rule, we completely describe not only the covariant derivative of geometrical objects but also the Nijenhuis tensor. We apply this description to an almost bi-hermitian space with isometry and investigate integrability on its T-dualized one. We find that hermiticity is not a sufficient condition to preserve integrability under T-duality transformations. However, in the presence of the Kähler condition, the T-dualized space still admits integrability of the almost complex structures. We also observe that the form of H-flux is suitable for string compactification scenarios.

description: Mononuclear molybdenum enzymes catalyze a variety of reactions that are essential in the cycling of nitrogen, carbon, arsenic, and sulfur. For decades, the structure and function of these crucial enzymes have been investigated to develop a fundamental knowledge for this vast family of enzymes and the chemistries they catalyze. The dimethyl sulfoxide reductase (DMSOR) family is the most diverse family of molybdoenzymes and, the members of this family catalyze a myriad of reactions that are important in microbial life processes. Periplasmic nitrate reductase (Nap) is an important member of the DMSO reductase family that catalyzes the reduction of nitrate to nitrite, and yet the physiological role of Nap is not completely clear. Enzymes in this family can transform multiple substrates; however, quantitative information about the substrate preference is sparse and more importantly, the reasons for the substrate selectivity are not clear. Substrate specificity is proposed to be tuned by the ligands coordinating the molybdenum atom in the active site. As such, periplasmic nitrate reductase is utilized as a vehicle to understand the substrate preference and delineate the mechanistic underpinning of these differences. To this end, NapA from Campylobacter jejuni has been heterologously overexpressed, and a series of variants, where the molybdenum-coordinating cysteine has been replaced with another amino acid, has been produced. The kinetic and biochemical properties of these variants will be discussed and compared with those of the native enzyme, providing quantitative information to understand the function.

description: Localizing unusual activities, such as human errors or surveillance incidents, in videos holds practical significance. However, current video understanding models struggle with localizing these unusual events likely because of their insufficient representation in models' pretraining datasets. To explore foundation models' capability in localizing unusual activity, we introduce UAL-Bench, a comprehensive benchmark for unusual activity localization, featuring three video datasets: UAG-OOPS, UAG-SSBD, UAG-FunQA, and an instruction-tune dataset: OOPS-UAG-Instruct, to improve model capabilities. UAL-Bench evaluates three approaches: Video-Language Models (Vid-LLMs), instruction-tuned Vid-LLMs, and a novel integration of Vision-Language Models and Large Language Models (VLM-LLM). Our results show the VLM-LLM approach excels in localizing short-span unusual events and predicting their onset (start time) more accurately than Vid-LLMs. We also propose a new metric, R@1, TD <= p, to address limitations in existing evaluation methods. Our findings highlight the challenges posed by long-duration videos, particularly in autism diagnosis scenarios, and the need for further advancements in localization techniques. Our work not only provides a benchmark for unusual activity localization but also outlines the key challenges for existing foundation models, suggesting future research directions on this important task.
