Subjects: subject: 170112 Sensory Processes, Perception and Performance
subject: FOS: Psychology

description: A scoping review was undertaken to explore research investigating early interactions and integration of auditory and visual stimuli in the human brain. The focus was on methods used to study low-level multisensory temporal processing using simple stimuli in humans, and how this research has informed our understanding of multisensory perception. The study of multisensory temporal processing probes how the relative timing between signals affects perception. Several tasks, illusions, computational models, and neuroimaging techniques were identified in the literature search. Research into early audiovisual temporal processing in special populations was also reviewed. Recent research has continued to provide support for early integration of crossmodal information. These early interactions can influence higher-level factors, and vice versa. Temporal relationships between auditory and visual stimuli influence multisensory perception, and likely play a substantial role in solving the ‘correspondence problem’ (how the brain determines which sensory signals belong together, and which should be segregated).

description: We solve the problem of resonance statistics in systems with broken time-reversal invariance by deriving the joint probability density of all resonances in the framework of a random matrix approach and calculating explicitly all n-point correlation functions in the complex plane. As a by-product, we establish the Ginibre-like statistics of resonances for many open channels. Our method is a combination of Itzykson-Zuber integration and a variant of nonlinear $σ-$model and can be applied when the use of orthogonal polynomials is problematic.

The Revival of Tiantai Buddhism in the Late Ming: On the Thought of Youxi Chuandeng (1554-1628)

description: This dissertation is a study of Youxi Chuandeng's (1554-1628) transformation of "Buddha-nature includes good and evil," also known as "inherent evil," a unique idea representing Tiantai's nature-inclusion philosophy in Chinese Buddhism. Focused on his major treatise On Nature Including Good and Evil, this research demonstrates how Chuandeng, in his efforts to regenerate Tiantai, incorporated the important intellectual themes of the late Ming, especially those found in the Śūraṃgama Sūtra. In his treatise, Chuandeng systematically presented his ideas on doctrinal classification, the principle of nature-inclusion, and the practice of the Dharma-gate of inherent evil. Redefining Tiantai doctrinal classification, he legitimized the idea of inherent evil to be the highest Buddhist teaching and proved the superiority of Buddhism over Confucianism. Drawing upon the notions of pure mind and the seven elements found in the Śūraṃgama Sūtra, he reinterpreted nature-inclusion and the Dharma-gate of inherent evil emphasizing inherent evil as pure rather than defiled. Conversely, he reinterpreted Śūraṃgama Sūtra by nature-inclusion. Chuandeng incorporated Confucianism and the Śūraṃgama Sūtra as a response to the dominating thought of his day, this being the particular manner in which previous Tiantai thinkers upheld, defended and spread Tiantai. What set Chuandeng apart from his predecessors were his efforts to harmonize rather than criticize other Buddhist schools. The Śūraṃgama Sūtra was emblematic of the syncretic intellectual trend of the late Ming and its popularity was widespread. Chuandeng ably took ideas from the Śūraṃgama Sūtra to make his points. Chuandeng was a culminator and innovator of nature-inclusion and his thought and activities represent the revival of Tiantai in the late Ming. This study proves that the Tiantai school was not a marginal but rather an active contributor to the overall revival of Buddhism in the late Ming,

description: We investigate Faraday waves on a viscoelastic liquid. Onset measurements and a nonlinear phase diagram for the selected patterns are presented. By virtue of the elasticity of the material a surface resonance synchronous to the external drive competes with the usual subharmonic Faraday instability. Close to the bicriticality the nonlinear wave interaction gives rise to a variety of novel surface states: Localised patches of hexagons, hexagonal superlattices, coexistence of hexagons and lines. Theoretical stability calculations and qualitative resonance arguments support the experimental observations.

The Ribosome Discriminates the Structure of the Amino Acid at its Peptidyl-Transferase Center
Creators: Englander, Michael Thomas
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Biochemistry

description: Contemporary interpretations of Crick's original Adaptor Hypothesis view both the amino acid and the tRNA body as passive participants during aminoacyl-tRNA (aa-tRNA) selection by the ribosome. Recent experimental evidence investigating tRNA mutants that miscode due to mutations that lie outside the anticodon as well as data from the unnatural amino acid mutagenesis field that shows that different unnatural amino acids, when esterified to the same suppressor tRNA, produce different amounts of protein, suggest that aa-tRNA selection is considerably more complex than originally envisioned in Crick's Adaptor Hypothesis and that aa-tRNA selection may extend to the amino acid itself. Here, using unnatural amino acids as substrates on natural, fully modified tRNAs and a highly purified in vitro translation system, we investigate the substrate specificity of the ribosome with respect to the amino acid.

description: In sponsored search, keyword recommendations help advertisers to achieve much better performance within limited budget. Many works have been done to mine numerous candidate keywords from search logs or landing pages. However, the strategy to select from given candidates remains to be improved. The existing relevance-based, popularity-based and regular combinatorial strategies fail to take the internal or external competitions among keywords into consideration. In this paper, we regard keyword recommendations as a combinatorial optimization problem and solve it with a modified pointer network structure. The model is trained on an actor-critic based deep reinforcement learning framework. A pre-clustering method called Equal Size K-Means is proposed to accelerate the training and testing procedure on the framework by reducing the action space. The performance of framework is evaluated both in offline and online environments, and remarkable improvements can be observed.

description: We infer and compare the specific X-ray luminosity distributions for a sample of massive (i.e. $\log_{10} (M*/M\odot) > 10.5$) galaxies split according to their far-infrared-derived star-forming properties (i.e., starburst and non-starburst) and redshift. We model each distribution as a power-law with an upper and lower turnover, and adopt a maximum likelihood method to include information from non-detections in the form of upper limits. When we use our inferred distributions to calculate the ratios of high to low sLx AGN (corresponding to above and below $0.1λ_{\text{Edd}}$, respectively) we find that starbursts have significantly higher proportions of high sLx AGN compared to their non-starburst counterparts. These findings help explain the increase in average X-ray luminosity in bins of increasing SFR reported by previous studies.

description: Quantifying joint deformity in people with rheumatoid (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate a new method to measure bone erosions and abnormal periosteal growths, based on the difference between a predicted healthy and actual diseased joint surface. We optimized the method by creating and measuring artificial bone erosions and growths. Then we measured 46 healthy and diseased patient surfaces. We found average sensitivity errors of ≤0.27 mm when measuring artificial erosions and growths. Patients had significantly more bone erosion than healthy subjects. Surface based outcomes are a novel way to interpret and quantify bone changes in PsA and RA.

description: This paper addresses the analysis and design of non-reciprocal filters based on time modulated resonators. We analytically show that time modulating a resonator leads to a set of harmonic resonators composed of the unmodulated lumped elements plus a frequency invariant element that accounts for differences in the resonant frequencies. We then demonstrate that harmonic resonators of different order are coupled through non-reciprocal admittance inverters whereas harmonic resonators of the same order couple with the admittance inverter coming from the unmodulated filter network. This coupling topology provides useful insights to understand and quickly design non-reciprocal filters and permits their characterization using an asynchronously tuned coupled resonators network together with the coupling matrix formalism. Two designed filters, of orders three and four, are experimentally demonstrated using quarter wavelength resonators implemented in microstrip technology and terminated by a varactor on one side. The varactors are biased using coplanar waveguides integrated in the ground plane of the device. Measured results are found to be in good agreement with numerical results, validating the proposed theory.

The system is a vertical, rapidly flowing soap film which is penetrated by a rod oriented perpendicular to the film plane. Our experiments show that the transition from laminar flow to a periodic Kármán vortex street can be hysteretic, i.e. vortices can survive at velocities lower than the velocity needed to generate them.

description: Dynamical coherent structure (pattern) formation in the Klein-Gordon lattice excited by periodic external field near the optical resonance is studied. It is shown that besides spatial patterns discovered recently (V.M.Burlakov, Phys.Rev.Lett. 80, 3988 (1998)) the spatio-temporal patterns can be generated in the lattice in rather broad region of excitation parameters. An influence of cubic anharmonicity in the lattice potential and that of random noise on the pattern formation is examined.

If the complement of $Ω$ does not develop cusp singularities at the origin then we prove $\partial Ω$ is analytic in some small neighborhood of the origin. The result can be modified to yield for more general divergence form operators. As an application of this, then, we obtain the regularity of the boundary of a domain without the Pompeiu property, provided its complement has no cusp singularities.

In the quasi-equilibrium phase of the evolution of this system, a first integral of motion can be derived for certain velocity fields of the neutron star fluid including the (academic) case of co-rotation with respect to the orbital motion (synchronized binaries) and the realistic case of counter-rotation with respect to the orbital motion. The velocity field leading to this latter configuration can be computed by solving three-dimensional vector and scalar Poisson equations.

description: We explore the use of cylindrical metasurfaces in providing several illusion mechanisms including scattering cancellation and creating fictitious line sources. We present the general synthesis approach that leads to such phenomena by modeling the metasurface with effective polarizability tensors and by applying boundary conditions to connect the tangential components of the desired fields to the required surface polarization current densities that generate such fields. We then use these required surface polarizations to obtain the effective polarizabilities for the synthesis of the metasurface. We demonstrate the use of this general method for the synthesis of metasurfaces that lead to scattering cancellation and illusion effects, and discuss practical scenarios by using loaded dipole antennas to realize the discretized polarization current densities. This study is the first fundamental step that may lead to interesting electromagnetic applications, like stealth technology, antenna synthesis, wireless power transfer, sensors, cylindrical absorbers, etc.

description: This paper discusses the ongoing patterns of racial and socioeconomic discrimination carried out by the U.S. child welfare system and analyzes their human rights implications as well as the potential strategic benefits of using human rights norms to frame and condemn those patterns. It finds that today’s child welfare system reflects many of the same fundamental abuses identified two decades ago as causing disproportionate harm to poor people of color, including excessive surveillance and suspicion of them, racialized constructions of families of color as less bonded, treatment of poverty as parental inadequacy, and prioritization of punishing parents over protecting children. The researcher analyzes these trends through the lens of international human rights law and finds that, not only are provisions of several treaties being violated, but that those treaties offer important tactical tools in this arena. Namely, they embrace a broader definition of racial discrimination than that available in U.S. law, they shift the blame for poverty from the individual to the State, and they instill a strong presumption in favor of family unity, all of which could help to combat the different forms of discrimination that have pervaded the child welfare system in the United States.

description: At the height of his power in 1923, the head of the Bulgarian Agrarian National Union (BANU), Alexander Stamboliiski, summed up the significance of his politics for European history in the following way: "Today there are only two interesting social experiments: the experiment of Lenin and my own."  Taking the aspirations reflected in the quotation above seriously and rescuing the agrarian project from the enormous condescension of posterity is the foundation of this dissertation. Briefly, it is about unpacking and restoring the significance of the Golden Age of the European Peasantry between the two world wars by focusing on the paradigmatic cases of Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia. The dissertation proposes a novel synoptic approach with regards to interwar agrarianism as a counterpoint to ideology driven classifications or structuralist synthesis. Its thematic chapters alternate between strategic probes of evocative micro histories and broader theoretically informed overviews in order to illustrate and clarify the analytical frame. The most radical expression of interwar agrarianism, that of Bulgaria, and the man responsible for it, Alexander Stamboliiski, serve as the center of this dissertation. The juxtaposition of this center to the development of agrarianism in Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, as well as to various oppositional formations such as the Communist International Peasant Union allows this dissertation to overcome the national parochialism that has contributed to the sidelining of the study of agrarianism. The innovative structure of the dissertation is above all a demonstration of the rich possibilities still open to researchers in this field to reinsert the study of agrarianism into contemporary theoretical debates and developments in the historiography. The dissertation explicitly engages agrarianism with the theoretical literature on nationalism, corruption, the subaltern, as well as makes possible the connection to the problematics of modernity, politics as systemic change, transnational and global history.

Subjects: Human rights

Political refugees--Civil rights

description: This thesis discusses the right to work of refugees and asylum-seekers in the context of the current refugee crisis, using Bulgaria as an example of the less studied case of transit countries. Bulgaria legally recognizes the right to work of refugees and yet has no political will to effectively fulfill this right with appropriate integration policies. At the same, refugees are not interested in integration because they perceive Bulgaria as a pit stop, but still need income, so they engage in informal employment in precarious conditions. Through an analysis of the legal and policy framework, and the practical constraints for accessing adequate employment, this thesis proposes to rethink the paradigm of integration, which is not attractive to either the government or refugees, and offers an alternative human rights-based approach.

description: Background: HepatitisAis a virus with linearandpositive strand RNA. AsHAVhasnoenvelope, it ismoreresistant to environmental
stress than other hepatitis viruses, and it can be transmitted by water and food. HAV infection is acquired commonly by the fecaloral
route and in adults, it can leave very serious complications, including fulminate hepatitis. The virus is infectious for one to two
weeks in the bloodstream beforesymptomsappear. In the acute phase of the disease,whenthe virus is presented in the bloodstream,
it is possible to transfer via blood transfusion and plasma products.
Objectives: This study was designed to determine the frequency of antibodies againstHAVandthe acute phase of the diseaseamong
blood donors in Golestan province in the northeast of Iran.
Methods: Sera of 400 blood donors in Golestan province who were negative for anti-HIV, HBs Ag, and anti-HCV were tested for the
total anti-HAV antibody, anti-HAV IgM, and HAV-RNA. Total antibodies (IgG+IgM) and IgM were determined by the ELISA method
using commercial kits. HAV-RNA was detected by nested RT-PCR.
Results: Overall, 91% of the analyzed specimens were anti-HAV seropositive and all blood donors were negative for anti-HAV IgM.
HAV-RNA was not found in any serum samples.
Conclusions: The prevalence of HAV was high among blood donors in Golestan province and due to high anti-HAV seroprevalence
rates, the blood donors are safe in terms of virus transfer

description: Object detection in still images has drawn a lot of attention over past few years, and with the advent of Deep Learning impressive performances have been achieved with numerous industrial applications. Most of these deep learning models rely on RGB images to localize and identify objects in the image. However in some application scenarii, images are compressed either for storage savings or fast transmission. Therefore a time consuming image decompression step is compulsory in order to apply the aforementioned deep models. To alleviate this drawback, we propose a fast deep architecture for object detection in JPEG images, one of the most widespread compression format. We train a neural network to detect objects based on the blockwise DCT (discrete cosine transform) coefficients {issued from} the JPEG compression algorithm. We modify the well-known Single Shot multibox Detector (SSD) by replacing its first layers with one convolutional layer dedicated to process the DCT inputs. Experimental evaluations on PASCAL VOC and industrial dataset comprising images of road traffic surveillance show that the model is about $2\times$ faster than regular SSD with promising detection performances. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first to address detection in compressed JPEG images.

description: The fabrication of Metal-DNA-Metal (MDM) structure-based high sensitivity
sensors from DNA micro-and nanoarray strands is a key issue in their development. The
tunable semiconducting response of DNA in the presence of external electromagnetic and
thermal fields is a gift for molecular electronics. The impact of temperatures (25–55 °C) and
magnetic fields (0–1200 mT) on the current-voltage (I-V) features of Au-DNA-Au (GDG)
structures with an optimum gap of 10 μm is reported. The I-V characteristics acquired in the
presence and absence of magnetic fields demonstrated the semiconducting diode nature of
DNA in GDG structures with high temperature sensitivity. The saturation current in the
absence of magnetic field was found to increase sharply with the increase of temperature up
to 45 °C and decrease rapidly thereafter. This increase was attributed to the
temperature-assisted conversion of double bonds into single bond in DNA structures.
Furthermore, the potential barrier height and Richardson constant for all the structures
increased steadily with the increase of external magnetic field irrespective of temperature variations. Our observation on magnetic field and temperature sensitivity of I-V response in
GDG sandwiches may contribute towards the development of DNA-based magnetic sensors

description: The production of the p-process nuclides that we observe today in the Solar Systemis still uncertain. Recent Galactic Chemical Evolution (GCE) calculations, showedthat explaining the inventory of the p-nuclides by the contribution from Core col-lapse supernovae (ccSNe) alone is challenging, thus requiring a complementary con-tribution from thermonuclear supernovae (SNe Ia), assuming in this last case ans-process rich pre-explosive seeds distribution, built byneutron captures during theaccretion phase. Presently there are no complete stellar models calculating theseabundances. We calculate accreting white dwarfs (WDs) models with five differentinitial masses using the stellar code MESA. We then focus on the nucleosynthesiscalculating the full abundance distribution. In these models the dominant neutronsource are22Ne(α,n)25Mg, activated at the bottom of the convective thermal pulsedriven by the Helium flashes along the accretion phase, for WDmasses lower than1.26 M⊙, and13C(α,n)16O for WD masses equal or higher than 1.26 M⊙. We foundneutron densities up to few 1015cm−3in the most massive WDs. In particular, weobtain a strong production by neutron captures up to the Pb region, showing howthe classic assumption of a neutron-capture rich pre-explosive seeds distribution isjustified. Using these results, we compute the resulting explosive nucleosynthesis ofproton rich heavy stable isotopes using a multi-D SNe Ia model, and discuss the un-certainties affecting our results, focusing in particular on the nuclear reaction-rateswhich provide the dominant contribution to the production uncertainty, highlightingwhich of the identified key reactions are realistic candidates for future experiments.

description: The now-protracted Syrian refugee crisis has become the largest global refugee crisis since World War II. Although often discussed in terms of the European migration crisis, this crisis has had a far greater impact on the neighboring host countries, which have been overwhelmed by massive influxes of Syrian refugees since the onset of the crisis in Syria. Moreover, these generous host countries have not received nearly enough support from the international community to cope with the crisis. Consequently, these countries have placed more and more restrictions on Syrian refugees. Syrian refugees in Jordan are marginalized and are not afforded basic rights like the right to work. As humanitarian aid has been consistently underfunded, and Syrian refugees’ savings have dried up, many Syrian refugees are no longer able to cope. Herein I examine the case of the Syrian refugees in Jordan. I focus on legal status of Syrian refugees in Jordan through a human rights lens, bearing in mind the economics and security perspectives. I use the noted observations and interviews with Jordanian nationals, Syrian refugees, and staff from various UN agencies, IGOs and INGOs, and local NGOs obtained during my fieldwork in Jordan in March 2016 in addition to archival material, reports, and other publicly available secondary sources. I conclude that Jordan is obligated to ensure the protection of these Syrian refugees’ human rights (including both civil and political and social, economic, and cultural rights) regardless of how the refugee influx has impacted its economy, infrastructure, and national security. Furthermore, it is in Jordan’s economic and national security interests to integrate the Syrian refugees not just economically but legally by providing them with a pathway to citizenship.

description: This paper analyses and discusses the usability aspect of the text-based CAPTCHA in terms of response time and success in solving the CAPTCHA on tablet computers. The response time is the time spent by the user to find a solution to the CAPTCHA. The analysis is separately conducted on text-based CAPTCHA with only text and numbers. Then, the results are compared and the differences in response time and success in solving the two types of CAPTCHA are underlined. This is accomplished by asking 125 Internet users to solve the text-based CAPTCHA on the tablet computer. Their gender, age, education level, Internet experience, response time and success in solving two types of text-based CAPTCHA are collected in a dataset. Then, advanced statistical analysis by association rule mining is performed. It shows the dependence of the response time and success in solving the CAPTCHA on co-occurrence of gender, age, education level and Internet experience and the strength of this dependence by support, confidence and lift measures. This study provides relevant information for designing new CAPTCHAs which may be more accustomed to specific types of Internet users.

description: The presented work is meant to provide insights into current developments and trends with respect to the use of mobile health apps. A special emphasis shall be placed on the areas of prevention, diagnostics and therapy as well as healthcare in general, for example regarding the care for patients with chronic conditions, elderly people or rural populations. Other important areas of interest are the identification of risks that may arise from using health apps, especially in the context of data protection and data security. An appraisal of the practical, as well as regulatory hurdles one may encounter when using health-related apps in various use cases is given along with a description of points where adaptations to existing regulations might be advised. In addition, the ethical implications of using health-related apps in various contexts are outlined. In order to better respond to the needs of individual stakeholders, i.e. patients as well as medical professionals and developers of health apps, an outline of possible ways to support each of these groups is provided. Finally, the closing summary chapter describes important areas where action may be advised to be able to eliminate the identified hurdles, which may be technical in nature, but may also be due to legal or ethical concerns. This aims at minimising potential risks for all those who are dealing with health related apps, but may also serve to provide insights into how relevant uses of mobile technologies in health contexts can be promoted.

description: The genetic algorithm is an optimization procedure motivated by biological evolution and is successfully applied to optimization problems in different areas. A statistical mechanics model for its dynamics is proposed based on the parent-child fitness correlation of the genetic operators, making it applicable to general fitness landscapes. It is compared to a recent model based on a maximum entropy ansatz. Finally it is applied to modeling the dynamics of a genetic algorithm on the rugged fitness landscape of the NK model.

The Risk Ecology Framework: A Socioecological Analysis of HIV Risk Perception among Black and Latino Men who have Sex with Men.

description: This dissertation examines how Black and Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) are making sense of the contemporary HIV/AIDS epidemic and their relation to it. Black and Latino MSM in the United States are disproportionately impacted by HIV. Interdisciplinary scholarship on the matter has conceptualized risk as an intrinsic facet of HIV. However, this research has paid little attention to the process by which Black and Latino MSM form their HIV risk perceptions. In this dissertation, I advance the “risk ecology framework” as a novel socioecological approach for understanding risk perception. This framework conceives of HIV risk perception as emerging from individuals’ relationship to HIV as shaped by the intersecting influences of the broader social environment. I base my analysis on 40 in-depth semi-structured interviews with HIV-negative Black and Latino MSM in New York City, as well as a year of participant-observation with a health advocacy group that serves this community. I find respondents form their risk perceptions by reflecting on HIV vis-à-vis their respective and distinctive social locations. The intersections of race, class, and sexuality come to be associated with HIV risk across the ecological levels of an individual’s lived experience, revealing a risk ecology, or a set of interrelated potential threats posed by HIV. I find this risk ecology to be reflected in Black and Latino MSM’s framing of HIV as a risk to their bodily health and social wellbeing, on the one hand. Or, its framing as personally irrelevant, on the other. Relationships and interactions with family, friends, and romantic/sexual partners inform what Black and Latino MSM understand HIV to potentially threaten. Respondents and the people in their lives draw upon culturally-available discourses, rhetoric, and beliefs concerning HIV that reflect how the institutionalization of racial, social, and sexual inequalities structure risk perception. With respect to health-relevant behaviors, I demonstrate how the analysis of risk perception formation clarifies the ways in which Black and Latino MSM make use of preventative tools and construct meanings about sex. I conclude with a discussion of the broader implications of the risk ecology framework for future health policy and further sociological research. By interrogating what it means to be at-risk, this dissertation lends crucial insight into the persistence of the HIV epidemic at a time when the means to end it are available, and also enriches sociological understandings of risk both within and beyond the public health domain.
