description: We give a method for computing the iterated Laplace transform of the sojourn time in an union of intervals for linear diffusion processes. This random variable comes from a model occurring in biology concerning the clustering of membrane receptors. The way used hinges on solving differential equations. We finally have a look on the particular case of Brownian motion and we provide a representation for the Laplace transform of its local time in a finite set.

Syntactic Inductive Biases for Natural Language Processing

Subjects: Applied Computer Science

description: With the rise in availability of data for language learning, the role of linguistic structure is under scrutiny. The underlying syntactic structure of language allows for composition of simple elements into more complex ones in innumerable ways; generalization to new examples hinges on this structure. We define a syntactic inductive bias as a signal that steers the learning algorithm towards a syntactically robust solution, over others. This thesis explores the need for incorporation of such biases into already powerful neural models of language. We describe three general approaches for incorporating syntactic inductive biases into task-specific models, under different levels of supervision. The first method calls for joint learning of entire syntactic dependency trees with semantic dependency graphs through direct supervision, to facilitate better semantic dependency parsing. Second, we introduce the paradigm of scaffolded learning, which enables us to leverage inductive biases from syntactic sources to predict a related semantic structure, using only as much supervision as is necessary. The third approach yields general-purpose contextualized representations conditioned on large amounts of data along with their shallow syntactic structures, obtained automatically. The linguistic representations learned as a result of syntactic inductive biases are shown to be effective across a range of downstream tasks, but their usefulness is especially pronounced for semantic tasks.

description: Location information is the major component in location based applications. This information is used in different safety and service oriented applications to provide users with services according to their Geolocation. There are many approaches to locate mobile nodes in indoor and outdoor environments. In this paper, we are interested in outdoor localization particularly in cellular networks of mobile nodes and presented a localization method based on cell and user location information. Our localization method is based on hello message delay (sending and receiving time) and coordinate information of Base Transceiver Station (BTSs). To validate our method across cellular network, we implemented and simulated our method in two scenarios i.e. maintaining database of base stations in centralize and distributed system. Simulation results show the effectiveness of our approach and its implementation applicability in telecommunication systems.

description: HEDY - Life in the AI era is a 2-year Erasmus+ project started in November 2021. Its goal is to offer a comprehensive and shared view of how AI is affecting our lives and reshaping our socioeconomic, cultural, and human environments by promoting critical reflection, self-based learning and debate on these issues. The main target for this project is the higher education audience. Four specific objectives will be produced to reach this goal, the first of which is the Booklet, the subject of this paper. The Booklet is an essay defining the HEDY position on life in the AI era and the rationale for that position. In this paper, we describe and present the results of our two-fold approach to build our rationale about the challenges, opportunities and expected impact of AI on four areas: business, governance, skills & competencies, and people & lifestyle. This two-fold approach consists of collecting information from two sources: i) Literature survey, and ii) Interaction with people. Clearly, the first source consists of collecting the current state of knowledge about the impact of AI. The second source was a mixed approach consisting of both questionnaires and focus groups conducted in five different European countries with either experts or non-experts in AI. These two sources provide a unique contribution on AI panorama by combining state of the art research with first-hand opinions and debated questions, concerns, and ideas of interacting individuals.

description: X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Mössbauer spectroscopy techniques combined with theoretical calculations based on the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) electronic structure calculation method were used to investigate σ-phase Fe_{100-x}Re_{x} alloys (x = 43, 45, 47, 49 and 53). Structural data such as site occupancies and lattice constants were derived from the XRD patters, while the average isomer shift and distribution curves of the quadrupole splitting were obtained from the Mössbauer spectra. Fe-site charge-densities and the quadrupole splittings were computed with the KKR method for each lattice site. The calculated quantities combined with the experimentally determined site occupancies were successfully used to decompose the measured Mössbauer spectra into five components corresponding to the five sublattices.

Fifty-Second Annual Exhibition of the National Association of Women Artists, 1944
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1944

description: The National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) was established in 1889 and is the oldest professional women's fine arts organization in the United States. NAWA's mission is to promote awareness of, and interest in, visual art created by women in the United States. As part of this effort NAWA holds an annual exhibition of works by members of the association and publishes an exhibition catalog to accompany or commemorate the annual exhibitions. These catalogs not only function as an exhibition catalog, but also as a document that summarizes the structure, membership, and activities of the association.Information that can be found in these catalogs includes lists of officers, members of the executive board and committees, prize winners, lists of exhibitor and members, and images of some of the artwork exhibited. Catalogs from the 2000s also include information on NAWA events and activities beyond the annual exhibition.Please note that the numbering of the annual catalogs was adjusted in 1960 and again in 1971. For example, NAWA designated the annual exhibition in 1960 as the 70th Anniversary Exhibition after 1959 was the 67th Annual Exhibition. These adjustments appear to have been made to reflect the date of the founding of the association, so that, by 1989, the annual exhibition commemorated the 100-year anniversary of the founding of NAWA in 1889.

description: The extragalactic distance scale builds directly on the Cepheid Period-Luminosity (PL) relation as delineated by the sample of Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). However, the LMC is a dwarf irregular galaxy, quite different from the massive spiral galaxies used for calibrating the extragalactic distance scale. Recent investigations suggest that not only the zero-point but also the slope of the Milky Way PL relation differ significantly from that of the LMC, casting doubts on the universality of the Cepheid PL relation. We want to make a differential comparison of the PL relations in the two galaxies by delineating the PL relations using the same method, the infrared surface brightness method (IRSB), and the same precepts. The IRSB method is a Baade-Wesselink type method to determine individual distances to Cepheids. We apply a newly revised calibration of the method as described in an accompanying paper (Paper I) to 36 LMC and five SMC Cepheids and delineate new PL relations in the V,I,J, & K bands as well as in the Wesenheit indices in the optical and near-IR. We present 509 new and accurate radial velocity measurements for a sample of 22 LMC Cepheids, enlarging our earlier sample of 14 stars to include 36 LMC Cepheids. The new calibration of the IRSB method is directly tied to the recent HST parallax measurements to ten Milky Way Cepheids, and we find a LMC barycenter distance modulus of 18.45+-0.04 (random error only) from the 36 individual LMC Cepheid distances. We find a significant metallicity effect on the Wvi index gamma(Wvi)=-0.23+-0.10 mag/dex as well as an effect on the slope. The K-band PL relation on the other hand is found to be an excellent extragalactic standard candle being metallicity insensitive in both slope and zero-point and at the same time being reddening insensitive and showing the least internal dispersion.

Confirmation of the Secondary Constraint and Absence of Ghost in Massive Gravity and Bimetric Gravity

description: In massive gravity and in bimetric theories of gravity, two constraints are needed to eliminate the two phase-space degrees of freedom of the Boulware-Deser ghost. For recently proposed non-linear theories, a Hamiltonian constraint has been shown to exist and an associated secondary constraint was argued to arise as well. In this paper we explicitly demonstrate the existence of the secondary constraint. Thus the Boulware-Deser ghost is completely absent from these non-linear massive gravity theories and from the corresponding bimetric theories.

description: We present work on the detection of neutral particles via nuclear recoils in gas-filled Time Projection Chambers (TPCs). We employ Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs) to amplify the signal and silicon pixel electronics to detect the avalanche charge. These technologies allow ionization in the target gas to be detected with low noise, improved position and time resolution, and high efficiency. We review experimental results obtained in previous years, and report on ongoing simulation studies and construction of the first prototype at the University of Hawaii. We also present prospects of using such detectors to perform direction-sensitive searches for WIMP dark matter and fast neutron from fissionable material.

description: As of 2021, 38.4 million people worldwide are living with Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV), with eastern and southern Africa having the highest prevalence. The efficacy of treatment is determined by identifying acute HIV infections (AHI) and prompting early antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation to achieve viral suppression and reduce the risk of transmission. Existing rapid tests that detect host antibodies are affected by long seroconversions which allow the viruses to remain undetected until long after infection. On the contrary, highly sensitive nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) based assays, serving as the gold standard for detection are restricted by their long turnaround time and high cost of implementation thus, restricting their use in low resource settings. Further, drug resistance cases and patient non-compliance to treatment may lead to HIV progression to aids; therefore, effective viral load monitoring is a critical component in the HIV care continuum. To address the gaps in viral load monitoring and early HIV detection, I propose to develop assays for handheld self-test platforms to detect low concentrations of HIV via two different approaches: 1) I will optimize an existing NAAT - based assay to semi-quantitatively detect HIV particles that were spiked in clinical samples and 2) I will Investigate the binding kinetics between HIV p24 antigen and Anti-HIV-1 p24 Antibody using the principle of Bio-layer Interferometry. Thus, I will lay the foundation for the development of a novel and highly sensitive p24 detection assay. Overall, this work will enable detection of ahi detection as well as support people living with HIV (PLHIV) management, all while remaining connected to healthcare and provider support.

description: We determine Period-Luminosity relations for Milky Way Cepheids in the optical and near-IR bands. These relations can be used directly as reference for extra-galactic distance determination to Cepheid populations with solar metallicity, and they form the basis for a direct comparison with relations obtained in exactly the same manner for stars in the Magellanic Clouds, presented in an accompanying paper. In that paper we show that the metallicity effect is very small and consistent with a null effect, particularly in the near-IR bands, and we combine here all 111 Cepheids from the Milky Way, the LMC and SMC to form a best relation. We employ the near-IR surface brightness (IRSB) method to determine direct distances to the individual Cepheids after we have recalibrated the projection factor using the recent parallax measurements to ten Galactic Cepheids and the constraint that Cepheid distances to the LMC should be independent of pulsation period. We confirm our earlier finding that the projection factor for converting radial velocity to pulsational velocity depends quite steeply on pulsation period, p=1.550-0.186*log(P) in disagrement with recent theoretical predictions. We delineate the Cepheid PL relation using 111 Cepheids with direct distances from the IRSB analysis. The relations are by construction in agreement with the recent HST parallax distances to Cepheids and slopes are in excellent agreement with the slopes of apparent magnitudes versus period observed in the LMC.

description: We analyze the outage performance of a two-way fixed gain amplify-and-forward (AF) relay system with beamforming, arbitrary antenna correlation, and co-channel interference (CCI). Assuming CCI at the relay, we derive the exact individual user outage probability in closed-form. Additionally, while neglecting CCI, we also investigate the system outage probability of the considered network, which is declared if any of the two users is in transmission outage. Our results indicate that in this system, the position of the relay plays an important role in determining the user as well as the system outage probability via such parameters as signal-to-noise imbalance, antenna configuration, spatial correlation, and CCI power. To render further insights into the effect of antenna correlation and CCI on the diversity and array gains, an asymptotic expression which tightly converges to exact results is also derived.

description: We used optical images taken with the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in the B and V bands to search for the optical counterpart of PSR J1028-5819 or constrain its optical brightness. At the same time, we used an archival Suzaku observation to confirm the preliminary identification of the pulsar's X-ray counterpart obtained by Swift. Due to the large uncertainty on the pulsar's radio position and the presence of a bright (V = 13.2) early F-type star at < 4", we could not detect its counterpart down to flux limits of B~25.4 and V ~25.3, the deepest obtained so far for PSR J1028-5819. From the Suzaku observations, we found that the X-ray spectrum of the pulsar's candidate counterpart is best-fit by a power-law with spectral index 1.7 +/- 0.2 and an absorption column density NH < 10^21 cm-2, which would support the proposed X-ray identification. Moreover, we found possible evidence for the presence of diffuse emission around the pulsar. If real, and associated with a pulsar wind nebula (PWN), its surface brightness and angular extent would be compatible with the expectations for a ~100 kyr old pulsar at the PSR J1028-5819 distance.

description: A fundamental resource in any communication and computation task is the amount of information that can be transmitted and processed. Information encoded in a classical system is limited by the dimension d_c of the system, i.e., the number of distinguishable states. A system with d_c=2^n classical states can carry n bits of classical information. Information encoded in a quantum system is limited by the dimension d_q of the Hilbert space of the system, i.e., the number of perfectly distinguishable quantum states. A system with d_q=2^n perfectly distinguishable quantum states can carry n qubits of quantum information. Physical systems of higher dimensions may enable more efficient and powerful information processing protocols. The dimension is fundamental in quantum cryptography and random number generation, where the security of many schemes crucially relies on the system's dimension. From a fundamental perspective, the dimension can be used to quantify the non-classicality of correlations, since classical simulation of correlations produced by a quantum system of dimension d_q may require a classical system of dimension d_c >> d_q. For all these reasons, a fundamental problem in information theory is to assess the (classical or quantum) dimension of a physical system in a "device-independent" scenario, i.e., without referring to the system's specifications, which may be under control of a dishonest supplier, eavesdropper or saboteur. In this contribution we report experiments realizing this goal for systems emitted by a black box. Our results indicate that dimension witnesses utilized in the experiments may become a powerful tool for testing systems provided by unreliable sources.

A Correlation Between the Eclipse Depths of Kepler Gas Giant Candidates and the Metallicities of their Parent Stars

description: Previous studies of the interior structure of transiting exoplanets have shown that the heavy element content of gas giants increases with host star metallicity. Since metal-poor planets are less dense and have larger radii than metal-rich planets of the same mass, one might expect that metal-poor stars host a higher proportion of gas giants with large radii than metal-rich stars. Here I present evidence for a negative correlation at the 2.3-sigma level between eclipse depth and stellar metallicity in the Kepler gas giant candidates. Based on Kendall's tau statistics, the probability that eclipse depth depends on star metallicity is 0.981. The correlation is consistent with planets orbiting low-metallicity stars being, on average, larger in comparison with their host stars than planets orbiting metal-rich stars. Furthermore, since metal-rich stars have smaller radii than metal-poor stars of the same mass and age, a uniform population of planets should show a rise in median eclipse depth with [M/H]. The fact that I find the opposite trend indicates that substantial changes in gas giant interior structure must accompany increasing [M/H]. I investigate whether the known scarcity of giant planets orbiting low-mass stars could masquerade as an eclipse depth-metallicity correlation, given the degeneracy between metallicity and temperature for cool stars in the Kepler Input Catalog. While the eclise depth-metallicity correlation is not yet on firm statistical footing and will require spectroscopic [Fe/H] measurements for validation, it is an intriguing window into how the interior structure of planets and even the planet formation mechanism may be changing with Galactic chemical evolution.

Computational Social Roles

description: Millions of people participate in online communities, exchange expertise and ideas, and collaborate to produce complex artifacts. They often enact a variety of social roles in the process of helping their communities and the public at large, which strongly influence the amount and types of work they do, and how they coordinate their activities. Better understanding members’ roles benefits members by clarifying how they should behave to participate effectively and also benefits the community overall by encouraging members to contribute in ways that best use their skills and interests. Social sciences have provided rich theoretic taxonomies of social roles within groups, while natural language processing techniques enable us to automate the identification of social roles in online communities. However, most social science work has focused on generic roles without accommodating the activities associated with tasks in specific contexts or automating the process of role identification. While there has been work to date about automatic role inference, identification of social roles has not had a corresponding strong emphasis in the language technologies community. A variety of methods were developed to extract specific “roles” or patterns in different contexts, lacking generalized definitions about what are roles and systematic methods to extract roles. Moreover, how roles change over time and how the awareness of roles influence role holders’ performance and the group production, have not been adequately researched in both fields. This thesis advocates for both theories of social science and models of text analysis to better define roles, develop ways to extract roles and optimally recommend roles to users. Concretely, this work defines what are social roles, introduces five measurable facets associated with social roles, and proposed a generic methodology for role identification. It also demonstrated how to computationally model social role and its facets in two socially important contexts - Wikipedia and Cancer Survivor Network. Via combining theories of social roles and computational models for role identification on those two large-scale contexts, this research reveals details about emergent, behavioral, and functioning roles, and a set of computational techniques to identify such roles via fine-grained operationalization of role holders’ behaviors. This work fills the longstanding gap in role theory and empirical modeling about emergent roles in online communities, and lays the foundation for future work to identify and analyze roles that people enacted in group processes both online and offline.

description: Recent advances in our understanding of tree-level QCD amplitudes in the massless limit exploiting an effective (maximal) supersymmetry have led to the complete analytic construction of tree-amplitudes with up to four external quark-anti-quark pairs. In this work we compare the numerical efficiency of evaluating these closed analytic formulae to a numerically efficient implementation of the Berends-Giele recursion. We compare calculation times for tree-amplitudes with parton numbers ranging from 4 to 25 with no, one, two and three external quark lines. We find that the exact results are generally faster in the case of MHV and NMHV amplitudes. Starting with the NNMHV amplitudes the Berends-Giele recursion becomes more efficient. In addition to the runtime we also compared the numerical accuracy. The analytic formulae are on average more accurate than the off-shell recursion relations though both are well suited for complicated phenomenological applications. In both cases we observe a reduction in the average accuracy when phase space configurations close to singular regions are evaluated. We believe that the above findings provide valuable information to select the right method for phenomenological applications.

description: We present deep {\it HST, Chandra, VLA} and {\it ATCA} images of the jets of PKS 0208--512 and PKS 1202--262, which were found in a {\it Chandra} survey of a flux-limited sample of flat-spectrum radio quasars with jets (see Marshall et al., 2005). We discuss in detail their X-ray morphologies and spectra. We find optical emission from one knot in the jet of PKS 1202--262 and two regions in the jet of PKS 0208--512. The X-ray emission of both jets is most consistent with external Comptonization of cosmic microwave background photons by particles within the jet, while the optical emission is most consistent with the synchrotron process. We model the emission from the jet in this context and discuss implications for jet emission models, including magnetic field and beaming parameters.

description: We study systems involving vector bundles and logarithmic connections on Riemann surfaces and linear algebra data linking their residues. This generalizes representations of deformed preprojective algebras. Our main result is the existence of a monodromy functor from such systems to representations of a multiplicative preprojective algebra. As a corollary, we prove that the multiplicative preprojective algebra associated to a Dynkin quiver is isomorphic to the usual preprojective algebra.

description: We report on the electric-field-induced reversible metal-insulator transition (MIT) of the insulating LaAlO3 thin films observed in metal/LaAlO3/Nb-SrTiO3 heterostructures. The switching voltage depends strongly on the thickness of the LaAlO3 thin film which indicates that a minimum thickness is required for the MIT. A constant opposing voltage is required to deplete the charges from the defect states. Our experimental results exclude the possibility of diffusion of the metal electrodes or oxygen vacancies into the LaAlO3 layer. Instead, the phenomenon is attributed to the formation of a quasi-conduction band (QCB) in the defect states of LaAlO3 that forms a continuum state with the conduction band of the Nb-SrTiO3. Once this continuum (metallic) state is formed, the state remains stable even when the voltage bias is turned off. The thickness dependent reverse switch-on voltage and the constant forward switch-off voltage are consistent with our model. The viewpoint proposed here can provide an alternative mechanism for resistive switching in complex oxides.

description: The tunneling between the Laughlin state and its quasihole excitations are studied by using the Jack polynomial. We find a universal analytical formula for the tunneling amplitude, which can describe both bulk and edge quasihole excitations. The asymptotic behavior of the tunneling amplitude reveals the difference and the crossover between bulk and edge states. The effects of the realistic coulomb interaction with a background-charge confinement potential and disorder are also discussed. The stability of the tunneling amplitude manifests the topological nature of fractional quantum Hall liquids.
