description: Although recent neural text-to-speech (TTS) systems have achieved high-quality speech synthesis, there are cases where a TTS system generates low-quality speech, mainly caused by limited training data or information loss during knowledge distillation. Therefore, we propose a novel method to improve speech quality by training a TTS model under the supervision of perceptual loss, which measures the distance between the maximum possible speech quality score and the predicted one. We first pre-train a mean opinion score (MOS) prediction model and then train a TTS model to maximize the MOS of synthesized speech using the pre-trained MOS prediction model. The proposed method can be applied independently regardless of the TTS model architecture or the cause of speech quality degradation and efficiently without increasing the inference time or model complexity. The evaluation results for the MOS and phone error rate demonstrate that our proposed approach improves previous models in terms of both naturalness and intelligibility.

description: Despite a long history of paleontological exploration and an extensive list of vertebrate fossils recorded in the Lance Formation, trace fossils have been rarely described in this unit. This paper describes an invertebrate ichnofossil assemblage collected in Elk Basin in Park County, Wyoming during 2013 and 2014 summer fieldwork conducted by the New Jersey State Museum. NJSM 24296 contains a suite of traces from Scoyenia ichnofacies and includes 31 ichnites identified as Taenidium satanassi and three as ichnogenus Camborygma. These traces, which are interpreted as arthropod and crayfish burrows, respectively, along with asymmetrical ripple marks, support a shallow fluvially dominated paleoevironment for this location during the Latest Cretaceous.

description: At online retail platforms, it is crucial to actively detect the risks of transactions to improve customer experience and minimize financial loss. In this work, we propose xFraud, an explainable fraud transaction prediction framework which is mainly composed of a detector and an explainer. The xFraud detector can effectively and efficiently predict the legitimacy of incoming transactions. Specifically, it utilizes a heterogeneous graph neural network to learn expressive representations from the informative heterogeneously typed entities in the transaction logs. The explainer in xFraud can generate meaningful and human-understandable explanations from graphs to facilitate further processes in the business unit. In our experiments with xFraud on real transaction networks with up to 1.1 billion nodes and 3.7 billion edges, xFraud is able to outperform various baseline models in many evaluation metrics while remaining scalable in distributed settings. In addition, we show that xFraud explainer can generate reasonable explanations to significantly assist the business analysis via both quantitative and qualitative evaluations.

Framework of interpretable biometrics to assess internal psychophysiological states of distress in autism and the general population
Creators: name: Elsayed, Mona
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: Studies of human behavior often do not consider underlying physiological processes which can reveal pertinent information about internal cognitive and emotional states. Assessments of behavior have relied primarily on observation and discretized approaches without considering the continuous flow of biorhythmic activity underlying it. With the advent of wearable sensing technologies and computer vision algorithms that allow for video-based motion capture, we can now harness continuous biorhythmic outputs with the goal of closing the existing gap between cognitive, emotional, and behavioral states. This work aims to characterize the internal psychophysiology underlying human behavior by analyzing a variety of biorhythmic signals – from cardiac activity and bodily movements to eye gaze and facial expressivity – in neurotypical and autistic individuals. We first explore such biorhythmic signals in response to pain and related stress/anxiety. Pain is a distressing sensation that often goes undetected and undertreated in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who have trouble communicating their internal emotions and mental states. The proposed project aims to explore the different branches of the peripheral nervous system (somatic and autonomic) using a unified analytical approach to better understand and characterize such internal psychophysiological states. Our multi-method approach is designed to evaluate the interplay between physiological, motor, and affective responses to pain and related distress to develop objective biomarkers that can complement current self-report assessments. Exploring continuous physiological signals with the goal of stratifying the population ultimately allows us to develop digitized assessment approaches that can be scaled and used outside of laboratory settings. This work has several implications in developing a clearer neurophysiological understanding of internal states of pain and distress and in the development of pain detection technologies that can lead to early intervention and diagnosis to ultimately mitigate distress and improve the quality of life of neurotypical and autistic individuals across the globe.

description: Background: Limited evidence exists to inform best practice approaches to implement school-based dental screening to address child retention via referral for dental services. This research tested the null hypothesis that a targeted school-based dental check-up program (intervention) has a 75% child retention rate for public dental care (H0 = 0.75). Methods: A prospective non-randomised controlled trial was conducted with a convenience sampling approach in metropolitan Melbourne, Australia. Children in the intervention group were recruited from two preschools and two primary schools from a low socioeconomic area. Children in the standard care group were recruited from the local public dental service. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata IC Version 12. Results: Children in the intervention (45%) were significantly less likely to have never had a dental check-up compared to standard care (20%) (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference for the child retention rate for the intervention group when compared against the null hypothesis (p = 0.954). The total society costs were AU$754.7 and AU$612.2 for the intervention and standard care groups, respectively (p = 0.049). Conclusions: This validation study provides evidence that a targeted school-based dental check-up program can achieve a 75% child retention rate and should be considered for program expansion.

description: This paper proposes a definition of gravitational observables and of their path integral formula within the framework of ADM foliation and the choice of unimodular gauge classes. The method enforces a BRST invariant gauge fixing of the lapse and shift fields. It yields the quantum level extension of the known classical property that the conformal classes of internal metrics of constant Lorentz time leafs define the gravitational physical degrees of freedom.

description: Background: This protocol outlines research to explore family members’ and paid staff’s perceptions of the impact of COVID-19 on individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their caregivers. Evidence suggests that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities experience disparities in healthcare access and utilisation. This disparity was evident early in the pandemic when discussions arose regarding the potential exclusion of this population to critical care. Methods: An anonymous online survey will be conducted with caregivers, both family members and paid staff, to explore their perceptions of the impact of COVID-19 in terms of demographics, living arrangements, access to services, social distancing, and carer wellbeing. The survey will be developed by the research team, many of whom are experts in intellectual disability within their own jurisdictions. Using back-translation our team will translate the survey for distribution in 18 countries worldwide for international comparison. The survey team have extensive personal and professional networks and will promote the survey widely on social media with the support of local disability and advocacy agencies. Statistical descriptive and comparative analyses will be conducted. Ethical approval has been obtained for this study from University College Dublin’s Human Research Ethics Committee (HS-20-28-Linehan). Dissemination: Study findings will be prepared in a number of formats in order to meet the needs of different audiences. Outputs will include academic papers, lessons learned paper, practice guidelines, reports, infographics and video content. These outputs will be directed to families, frontline and management delivering disability services, national-level policy makers, healthcare quality and delivery authorities, national pandemic organisations and international bodies.

description: Despite the coined quantum walk being a closed quantum system under a unitary evolution, its Hilbert space can be divided in two sub-spaces, which makes it possible for one to analyze one of the subsystems (the coin or the walker) as an open system in contact with a reservoir. In the present work we calculate the asymptotic reduced density matrix of the coin space of the three-state quantum walk in an infinite line, and use that result to analyze the entanglement between the chirality, and position space. We calculate the von Neumann entropy and the entanglement temperature per mean energy of the system in the asymptotic limit.

description: Broader disclosive transparency$-$truth and clarity in communication regarding the function of AI systems$-$is widely considered desirable. Unfortunately, it is a nebulous concept, difficult to both define and quantify. This is problematic, as previous work has demonstrated possible trade-offs and negative consequences to disclosive transparency, such as a confusion effect, where "too much information" clouds a reader's understanding of what a system description means. Disclosive transparency's subjective nature has rendered deep study into these problems and their remedies difficult. To improve this state of affairs, We introduce neural language model-based probabilistic metrics to directly model disclosive transparency, and demonstrate that they correlate with user and expert opinions of system transparency, making them a valid objective proxy. Finally, we demonstrate the use of these metrics in a pilot study quantifying the relationships between transparency, confusion, and user perceptions in a corpus of real NLP system descriptions.

description: In this paper, we study the L1/L2 minimization on the gradient for imaging applications. Several recent works have demonstrated that L1/L2 is better than the L1 norm when approximating the L0 norm to promote sparsity. Consequently, we postulate that applying L1/L2 on the gradient is better than the classic total variation (the L1 norm on the gradient) to enforce the sparsity of the image gradient. To verify our hypothesis, we consider a constrained formulation to reveal empirical evidence on the superiority of L1/L2 over L1 when recovering piecewise constant signals from low-frequency measurements. Numerically, we design a specific splitting scheme, under which we can prove subsequential and global convergence for the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) under certain conditions. Experimentally, we demonstrate visible improvements of L1/L2 over L1 and other nonconvex regularizations for image recovery from low-frequency measurements and two medical applications of MRI and CT reconstruction. All the numerical results show the efficiency of our proposed approach.

description: Quantum mechanics dictates the band-structure of materials that is essential for functional electronic components. With increased miniaturization of devices, it becomes possible to exploit the full potential of quantum mechanics through the principles of superposition and entanglement. We propose a new class of quantum rectifiers that can leverage entanglement to dramatically increase performance by coupling two small spin chains through an effective double-slit interface. Simulations show that rectification is enhanced by several orders of magnitude even in small systems, and that the effect survives in a noisy environment. Realizable using several of the quantum technology platforms currently available, our findings reveal the importance of quantum entanglement in seemingly contradictory applications such as heat and noise control.

Remarks.
The sequence obtained from one specimen from Isparta fell into BIN BOLD: AED 2730, which besides the specimen from this study, includes one specimen from Iran morphologically assigned to S. beneckei. The latter species was originally described from Iran. Asadi et al. (2010) synonymized the species with S. algeriensis Lundblad, 1942, a species described from northern Africa (Lundblad 1942) and subsequently recorded from many sites in the central and western Mediterranean area (Di Sabatino et al. 2010). Recently, Pešić et al. (2024) emphasized that high genetic distance of 15.4 % between Iberian populations of S. algeriensis and the specimen from Iran, suggests that S. beneckei is a distinct species and its synonymization with S. algeriensis should be rejected. The new findings of S. beneckei from southeastern Türkiye show that this species is widespread, and therefore, the known populations of S. algeriensis from Türkiye (e. g., Esen et al. 2013 b) should be checked using molecular methods to see if they can be assigned to S. beneckei.
Distribution.

description: The inertness of barytes has led to many experiments
and patents for its reduction. It was decided to effect
the reduction of the barytes in a cement kiln with carbon. The temperature
of the greatest yield with the least water insoluble material
is between 1000°C and 1100°C and with a minimum period of heating.
The yield is about 87% of the original barytes. The resulting
BaS is quenched with water and ground to 20 mesh. The leaching
is very quickly accomplished and the temperature of the solution
is raised 80°C to bring more material into solution. The
solution is then filtered, a theoretical amount of CuO
added and the mixture boiled. The resulting CuS is filtered
off and CuO regenerated by roasting. The Ba(OH)2 solution
is evaporated down and the solid precipitated out by cooling.
The material is in the form of Ba(OH)28H2O, and
must be heated to a dark red heat to drive off all the water of crystallization.

description: The thermodynamic Euler equation for high-energy states of large-$N$ gauge theories is derived from the dependence of the extensive quantities on the number of colors $N$. This Euler equation relates the energy of the state to the temperature, entropy, number of degrees of freedom and its chemical potential, but not to the volume or pressure. In the context of the gauge/gravity duality we show that the Euler equation is dual to the generalized Smarr formula for black holes in the presence of a negative cosmological constant. We also match the fundamental variational equation of thermodynamics to the first law of black hole mechanics, when extended to include variations of the cosmological constant and Newton's constant.

Background: An increase in the number of medical disputes and violence against doctors indicates a lack of trust in the medical profession by society in Chinese public hospitals. Empirical evidence confirms that one cause is the lack of professional identity demonstrated by doctors. Medical professionals are required to maintain high standards of competence and moral responsibility, and demonstrate qualities such as respect, compassion, integrity, responsiveness to needs, and commitment to sound ethical practice in order to maintain professional privilege. These principles and appropriate professional conduct are the foundation of the professional identity of the medical profession. Methods: A quantitative approach was adopted by distributing paper-based questionnaires to doctors and patients in two hospitals (Level III and Level II) in Jinan, Shandong province, China. Findings: In total, 614 doctors and 1184 inpatients on discharge from the surgical and internal medicine units of the two hospitals participated in the survey yielding 90% response rates. The study confirmed the variation amongst doctors in demonstrating their professionalism in terms of respecting patients’ views and preferences when determining diagnostic procedures and treatment plans, and when making ethical decisions. Although 90% patients indicated that they showed respects to doctors, close to 20% of the doctors disagreed that they received high respect from patients. About 12% of doctors prescribed unnecessary diagnostic procedures to patient for the purpose of generating profit and more than 20% of patients indicated that they gave gifts to doctors in order to receive better treatment. Conclusions: Although about 80% of doctors demonstrated certain aspects of professionalism required by practitioners, the inconsistency across the medical workforce may exacerbate tense doctor-patient relationships. A review of medical curricula and focus of the internship program is required in order to assist medical graduates with forming required professional identity in order to improve patient satisfaction and better clinical outcomes. To be effective, a more systematic approach is recommended.

description: We prove that the genuine $C_{2^n}$-spectrum $N_{C_{2}}^{C_{2^n}}MU_{\mathbb{R}}$ is cofree, for all $n$. Our proof is a formal argument using chromatic hypercubes and the Slice Theorem of Hill, Hopkins, and Ravenel. We show that this gives a new proof of the Segal conjecture for $C_2$, independent of Lin's theorem.

description: This work intends to provide a vision and artificially intelligent recognition system design that can be used in a robotics platform for use in the virtual robotics competition as well as any platform requiring advanced visual processing. This work explores the DARPA robotics competition and analyzes the requirements of each task in the competition. These requirements set a good basis for developing requirements for visual object recognition system. Next we research a number of technologies that would be targeted for integrating into this system such as the Atlas sensor suite, the robotics operating system, Gazebo simulator, and the point cloud library. The system proposed expands on an existing system proposed by Bedkowski et al. and adds the ability to recognize more intricate, non-flat objects through the use of the point cloud library and robotics operating system.

description: © 2020, The Author(s). Grape phylloxera (Daktulosphaira vitifoliae) is a destructive insect pest of grapevines that is highly invasive worldwide, despite strict biosecurity containment measures in place at farm and regional levels. Current phylloxera identification by visual inspection and laboratory-based molecular methods is time-consuming and costly. More rapid and cost-effective methods for identification of this pest would benefit industry, growers, and biosecurity services. Loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a new portable technology available for rapid and accurate in-field molecular diagnostics. This study outlines the development of a new LAMP assay to enable the identification of phylloxera specimens. New LAMP primers were developed to specifically amplify phylloxera mitochondrial DNA (5′-COI), which we have shown is effective as a DNA barcode for identification of phylloxera, using LAMP technology. Positive LAMP reactions, containing phylloxera DNA, amplified in less than twelve minutes with an anneal derivative temperature of approximately 79 °C to 80 °C compared to a newly designed synthetic DNA (gBlock) fragment which had an anneal derivative temperature of 82 °C. No LAMP amplification was detected in any of the non-target species tested, i.e. no false-positive identification resulted for these species. We also successfully optimised a non-destructive DNA extraction procedure, HotSHOT “HS6”, for use in the field on phylloxera adults, nymphs and eggs, to retain physical specimens. DNA extracted using this method was also suitable for species and genotype molecular identification methods, such as DNA barcoding, qPCR and microsatellite genotyping. The new LAMP assay provides a novel visual molecular tool for accurate diagnostics of phylloxera in the laboratory and field.

description: Normalizing flows have recently been applied to the problem of accelerating Markov chains in lattice field theory. We propose a generalization of normalizing flows that allows them to applied to theories with a sign problem. These complex normalizing flows are closely related to contour deformations (i.e. the generalized Lefschetz thimble method), which been applied to sign problems in the past. We discuss the question of the existence of normalizing flows: they do not exist in the most general case, but we argue that exact normalizing flows are likely to exist for many physically interesting problems, including cases where the Lefschetz thimble decomposition has an intractable sign problem. Finally, normalizing flows can be constructed in perturbation theory. We give numerical results on their effectiveness across a range of couplings for the Schwinger-Keldysh sign problem associated to a real scalar field in $0+1$ dimensions.

description: © 2020, The Author(s). Objective: Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) is an acute and highly contagious viral respiratory disease of poultry, caused by gallid herpesvirus 1 (ILTV), which causes significant economic losses. Due to recent outbreaks of ILT in Australia, it has been proposed that ILT could be transmitted between poultry sheds by airborne transmission; however, there has never been direct detection of ILTV from air samples. We aimed to optimize a sampling system for the detection of airborne ILTV in poultry sheds. Results: Poultry farms with a known outbreaks of ILT were used for detection of airborne ILTV. Infected chickens were verified by detection of ILTV nucleic acid in feather shafts with all farms being positive. Using a liquid cyclonic impinging device, it was found that recovery and detection of airborne ILTV was possible in alkaline PEG buffer. Additional sampling was performed at different heights to determine the presence of ILTV in the air. In farm 3, all three air samples at both heights were positive for ILTV while at farm 2 only one sample at 45 cm was positive. We envisaged in the future air sampling will be able to detect and track potential transmission of ILTV both inside and outside of the poultry shed.

description: Using detailed synchrotron diffraction, magnetization, thermodynamic and transport measurements, we investigate the relationship between the mixed valence of Ir, lattice strain and the resultant structural and magnetic ground states in the geometrically frustrated triple perovskite iridate Ba$_{3}$NaIr$_{2}$O$_{9}$. We observe a complex interplay between lattice strain and structural phase co-existence, which is in sharp contrast to what is typically observed in this family of compounds. The low temperature magnetic ground state is characterized by the absence of long range order, and points towards the condensation of a cluster glass state from an extended regime of short range magnetic correlations.

description: We constrain the primordial gravitational waves from cosmic microwave background (CMB) and stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) observations. SGWB provides the latest way to explore the early universe and the cosmological evolution which can be reflected by primordial gravitational waves. We not only combine LIGO observations with CMB to measure primordial gravitational waves, but also forecast the potential abilities of the LISA detector and PTA projects. In the $Λ$CDM+$r$+$n_t$ model, the standard six parameters change slightly from SGWB observations. While the constraints on tensor-to-scalar ratio and tensor spectral index are improved obviously from SGWB observations. FAST projects have a significant impact on tensor-to-scalar ratio and tensor spectral index, namely $r<0.028$ and $n_t=-0.41^{+0.64}_{-0.96}$ at $95\%$ confidence level.

description: Cooper pairing and Coulomb repulsion are antagonists, producing distinct energy gaps in superconductors and Mott insulators. When a superconductor exchanges unpaired electrons with a quantum dot, its gap is populated by a pair of electron-hole symmetric Yu-Shiba-Rusinov excitations between doublet and singlet many-body states. The fate of these excitations in the presence of a strong Coulomb repulsion in the superconductor is unknown, but of importance in applications such as topological superconducting qubits and multi-channel impurity models. Here we couple a quantum dot to a superconducting island with a tunable Coulomb repulsion. We show that a strong Coulomb repulsion changes the singlet many-body state into a two-body state. It also breaks the electron-hole energy symmetry of the excitations, which thereby lose their Yu-Shiba-Rusinov character.
