description: This paper presents a new method for inferring the semantic properties of documents by leveraging free-text keyphrase annotations. Such annotations are becoming increasingly abundant due to the recent dramatic growth in semi-structured, user-generated online content. One especially relevant domain is product reviews, which are often annotated by their authors with pros/cons keyphrases such as a real bargain or good value. These annotations are representative of the underlying semantic properties; however, unlike expert annotations, they are noisy: lay authors may use different labels to denote the same property, and some labels may be missing. To learn using such noisy annotations, we find a hidden paraphrase structure which clusters the keyphrases. The paraphrase structure is linked with a latent topic model of the review texts, enabling the system to predict the properties of unannotated documents and to effectively aggregate the semantic properties of multiple reviews. Our approach is implemented as a hierarchical Bayesian model with joint inference. We find that joint inference increases the robustness of the keyphrase clustering and encourages the latent topics to correlate with semantically meaningful properties. Multiple evaluations demonstrate that our model substantially outperforms alternative approaches for summarizing single and multiple documents into a set of semantically salient keyphrases.

description: Direct economic impacts of job development in new and expanded plants in four developing areas within Arizona, Appalachia, the Mississippi Delta, and the Ozarks were estimated. Approximately 25 percent of all jobs in these plants in 1970 were held by employees whose households had been poor. About 16 percent of the total jobs (two-thirds of the poor) were held by persons whose households escaped poverty by 1970 in their present employment. Discounted value of the increase in employees’ salaries was $12,880. Impacts of jobs varied considerably among areas.

description: Among the many difficult scenarios in the business world is flight planning, which must account for a wide range of uncertainties. This situation in delay incidence results from a number of causes and places significant financial burdens on airlines, operators, and passengers. Airport infrastructure, luggage handling, and mechanical equipment, as well as the cumulative delays from prior flights, may all contribute to departure delays, along with severe weather, peak travel times, airline rules, and technical issues. In This Aviation Data-driven algorithm forecasts potential aircraft delays. The system takes into account a number of factors. This system employs the algorithms Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Support Vector Machine (SVM).

description: Some individuals tend to view effort as stemming from the subjective difficulty of the task (as task-elicited) and view high levels of effort as indicating low levels of ability. Others view effort as stemming from a person’s motivation to go above and beyond the minimum demands of the task (as being self-initiated) and do not necessarily view high levels of effort as indicating low levels of ability. In fact, these people may sometimes view high levels of effort as indicating high levels of ability. At this point, it is not clear how these beliefs about effort interact with people’s gender-based stereotypes about ability in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) domains. To the extent that people believe that women are inherently worse at math or science than men, they may perceive women as having to work harder to succeed in these domains, particularly if they also happen to view effort as being task-elicited.

Year: 2011

description: Biomass gasification in Circulating fluidized beds (CFB) is one of the most promising conversion processes in meeting future ecologically compatible and sustainable energy demand, based on a combination of flexibility, efficiency, and environmental acceptability. Widespread industrial use of CFB technology in coal and biomass combustion and gasification depends on improved control of the fluidization process that demands a better understanding of fluidized bed hydrodynamics. However, its application to CFB systems is limited due to the high computational requirements for understanding complex fluid flow behavior. The effect of different operating parameters on the hydrodynamic behavior of a two-phase gas-solid CFB biomass gasifier were studied in this thesis work systematically using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software FLUENT.

description: Inference in Bayes Nets (BAYES) is an important problem with numerous applications in probabilistic reasoning. Counting the number of satisfying assignments of a propositional formula (#SAT) is a closely related problem of fundamental theoretical importance. Both these problems, and others, are members of the class of sum-of-products (SUMPROD) problems. In this paper we show that standard backtracking search when augmented with a simple memoization scheme (caching) can solve any sum-of-products problem with time complexity that is at least as good any other state-of-the-art exact algorithm, and that it can also achieve the best known time-space tradeoff. Furthermore, backtracking's ability to utilize more flexible variable orderings allows us to prove that it can achieve an exponential speedup over other standard algorithms for SUMPROD on some instances. The ideas presented here have been utilized in a number of solvers that have been applied to various types of sum-of-product problems. These system's have exploited the fact that backtracking can naturally exploit more of the problem's structure to achieve improved performance on a range of probleminstances. Empirical evidence of this performance gain has appeared in published works describing these solvers, and we provide references to these works.

description: The next generation of adaptive optics (AO) systems will require tomographic reconstruction techniques to map the optical refractive index fluctuations, generated by the atmospheric turbulence, along the line of sight to the astronomical target. These systems can be enhanced with data from an external atmospheric profiler. This is important for Extremely Large Telescope scale tomography. Here we propose a new instrument which utilises the generalised SCIntillation Detection And Ranging (SCIDAR) technique to allow high sensitivity vertical profiles of the atmospheric optical turbulence and wind velocity profile above astronomical observatories. The new approach, which we refer to as 'Stereo-SCIDAR', uses a stereoscopic system with the scintillation pattern from each star of a double-star target incident on a separate detector. Separating the pupil images for each star has several advantages including: increased magnitude difference tolerance for the target stars; negating the need for re-calibration due to the normalisation errors usually associated with SCIDAR; an increase of at least a factor of two in the signal-to-noise ratio of the cross-covariance function and hence the profile for equal magnitude target stars and up to a factor of 16 improvement for targets of 3 magnitudes difference; and easier real-time reconstruction of the wind-velocity profile. Theoretical response functions are calculated for the instrument, and the performance is investigated using a Monte-Carlo simulation. The technique is demonstrated using data recorded at the 2.5 m Nordic Optical Telescope and the 1.0 m Jacobus Kapteyn Telescope, both on La Palma.

description: In this study, various methods of oil extraction, such as traditional, solvent-based, and mechanical processes, are explored, with a special emphasis on cold pressing. The traditional method, known for its labor-intensive and inefficient nature, is compared to the more efficient solvent extraction process, which, despite higher costs and environmental concerns, yields more oil. The paper highlights mechanical cold pressing as a viable alternative, as it preserves the nutritional content and quality of the oil. Detailed methodologies for analyzing physicochemical properties of cold-extracted oils are provided, covering aspects like density, water content, boiling point, free fatty acid percentage, saponification value, peroxide value, antibacterial, and antifungal activity by ASTM method. The study presents the results of these analyses for mustard oil, sunflower oil and peanut oil revealing variations in properties. The research concludes that peanut seed oil holds promise for both nutritional and industrial applications, suggesting further exploration of its potential as a substitute for palm oil in various industries. Additionally, the study highlights the production of high-quality extra virgin mustard oil through sustainable and environmentally friendly cold pressing methods, showcasing its unique flavor and aroma, as well as its antioxidant properties that protect cells from damage.

description: We model permanent and transitory changes of the predictive density of US GDP growth. A substantial increase in downside risk to US economic growth emerges over the last 30 years, associated with the long-run growth slowdown started in the early 2000s. Conditional skewness moves procyclically, implying negatively skewed predictive densities ahead and during recessions, often anticipated by deteriorating financial conditions. Conversely, positively skewed distributions characterize expansions. The modelling framework ensures robustness to tail events, allows for both dense or sparse predictor designs, and delivers competitive out-of-sample (point, density and tail) forecasts, improving upon standard benchmarks.

description: We prove an unconditional (but slightly weakened) version of the main result of our earlier paper with the same title, which was, starting from dimension $4$, conditional to the Lefschetz standard conjecture. Let $X$ be a variety with trivial Chow groups, (i.e. the cycle class map to cohomology is injective on $CH(X)_\mathbb{Q}$). We prove that if the cohomology of a general very ample hypersurface $Y$ in $X$ is ``parameterized by cycles of dimension $c$'', then the Chow groups $CH_{i}(Y)_\mathbb{Q}$ are trivial for $i\leq c-1$.

description: In this article, we extend the definition of Christoffel words to directed subgraphs of the hypercubic lattice in arbitrary dimension that we call Christoffel graphs. Christoffel graphs when $d=2$ correspond to well-known Christoffel words. Due to periodicity, the $d$-dimensional Christoffel graph can be embedded in a $(d-1)$-torus (a parallelogram when $d=3$). We show that Christoffel graphs have similar properties to those of Christoffel words: symmetry of their central part and conjugation with their reversal. Our main result extends Pirillo's theorem (characterization of Christoffel words which asserts that a word $amb$ is a Christoffel word if and only if it is conjugate to $bma$) in arbitrary dimension. In the generalization, the map $amb\mapsto bma$ is seen as a flip operation on graphs embedded in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ and the conjugation is a translation. We show that a fully periodic subgraph of the hypercubic lattice is a translate of its flip if and only if it is a Christoffel graph.

description: Various tasks in decision making and decision support systems require selecting a preferred subset of a given set of items. Here we focus on problems where the individual items are described using a set of characterizing attributes, and a generic preference specification is required, that is, a specification that can work with an arbitrary set of items. For example, preferences over the content of an online newspaper should have this form: At each viewing, the newspaper contains a subset of the set of articles currently available. Our preference specification over this subset should be provided offline, but we should be able to use it to select a subset of any currently available set of articles, e.g., based on their tags. We present a general approach for lifting formalisms for specifying preferences over objects with multiple attributes into ones that specify preferences over subsets of such objects. We also show how we can compute an optimal subset given such a specification in a relatively efficient manner. We provide an empirical evaluation of the approach as well as some worst-case complexity results.
EXTENDING LINKED OPEN DATA RESOURCES EXPLOITING WIKIPEDIA AS SOURCE OF INFORMATION

Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano

description: DBpedia is a project aiming to represent Wikipedia content in RDF triples. It plays a central role in the Semantic Web, due to the large and growing number of resources linked to it. Currently, the information contained in DBpedia is mainly collected from Wikipedia infoboxes, a set of subject-attribute-value triples that represent a summary of the Wikipedia page. The extraction procedure requires to manually map Wikipedia infoboxes into the DBpedia ontology. Thanks to crowdsourcing, a large number of infoboxes in the English Wikipedia has been mapped to the corresponding classes in DBpedia. Subsequently, the same procedure has been applied to other languages to create the localized versions of DBpedia. However, (i) the number of accomplished mappings is still small and limited to most frequent infoboxes, (ii) mappings need maintenance due to the constant and quick changes of Wikipedia articles, and (iii) infoboxes are manually compiled by the Wikipedia contributors, therefore in more than 50% of the Wikipedia articles the infobox is missing. As a demonstration of these issues, only 1.7M Wikipedia pages are ?deeply? classified in the DBpedia ontology, although the English Wikipedia contains almost 4M pages. This shows a clear problem of coverage, and this issue is even worse in other languages (like French and Spanish). The objective of this thesis is to define a methodology to increase the coverage of DBpedia in different languages, using various techniques to reach two different goals: automatic mapping generation and DBpedia dataset completion. A key aspect of our research is multi-linguality in Wikipedia: we bootstrap the available information through cross-language links, starting from the available mappings in some pivot languages, and then extending the existing DBpedia datasets (or create new ones from scratch) comparing the classifications in different languages. When the DBpedia classification is missing, we train a supervised classifier using the original DBpedia as training. We also use the Distant Supervision paradigm to extract the missing properties directly from the Wikipedia articles. We evaluated our system using a manually annotated test set and some existing DBpedia mappings excluded from the training. The results demonstrate the suitability of the approach in extending the DBpedia resource. Finally, the resulting resources are made available through a SPARQL endpoint and a downloadable package.

Almost-Killing conserved currents: a general mass function

description: A new class of conserved currents, describing non-gravitational energy-momentum density, is presented. The proposed currents do not require the existence of a (timelike) Killing vector, and are not restricted to spherically symmetric spacetimes (or similar ones, in which the Kodama vector can be defined). They are based instead on almost-Killing vectors, which could in principle be defined on generic spacetimes. We provide local arguments, based on energy density profiles in highly simplified (stationary, rigidly-rotating) star models, which confirm the physical interest of these 'almost-Killing currents'. A mass function is defined in this way for the spherical case, qualitatively different from the Hernández-Misner mass function. An elliptic equation determining the new mass function is derived for the Tolman-Bondi spherically symmetric dust metrics, including a simple solution for the Oppenheimer-Schneider collapse. The equations for the non-symmetric case are shown to be of a mixed elliptic-hyperbolic nature.

description: Phytochemical investigation of the chloroform extract of the roots of Cynanchum otophyllum (Asclepiadaceae) led to the isolation of a new cardiac aglycone, characterised as Cynanchin A (1), as well as one known cardenolide (2) and nine known C21 steroidal glycosides (3-10), Their structures were established by 1D and 2D NMR spectra referring to the literature, together with high-resolution mass spectrometric analysis. In the present research, the cytotoxic activities of the 11 compounds on five different human cancer cell lines (HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549, MCF-7 and SW480) were evaluated in vitro. Most of the tested compounds showed potent inhibitory activities towards the five cell lines.

description: We present a quantum theory of ion-atom interaction that is applicable at energies comparable to or smaller than the atomic hyperfine splitting and takes proper account of the effects of identical nuclei. The theory reveals the subtlety and the complexity of cold ion-atom interactions including the change of threshold behavior due to hyperfine splitting and the existence of a large number, and a variety of scattering resonances between hyperfine thresholds. We show how this complexity is described, efficiently and at a quantitative level, using a multichannel quantum-defect theory that we present here for ion-atom interactions. Such an efficient description is a key enabling element to understand few-body and many-body quantum systems involving ions.

title: Climate Change and Infrastructural Damage
Creators: name: VanSavage, Macey
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: With the assistance of ENGL 231C students at Old Dominion University, Dr. Daniel Richards and Mrs. Megan McKittrick led this study testing the usability of Climate Central’s Risk Finder tool. The study was conducted as a client-based, service learning project for a Technical and Scientific writing course, serving client Dan Rizza at Climate Central, a nonprofit research organization. The study serves as a way for local collegiate students to be able to gain knowledge about the execution of faculty-level research. The Risk Finder tool allows users to view the potential effects of sea level rise on their area. The tool also shows predictions of how flooding from storms could affect users’ lifestyles. The Risk Finder tool’s collection of data from various organizations provides users with a wealth of information customized to their specific interests. Citizens of Hampton Roads, Virginia prove crucial to this experiment; citizens’ responses to Climate Central’s most recent technology will show researchers how the tool’s information affects the residents and how they handle negative predictions. The usability testing will require a sufficient sample size of approximately 8-10 users from the area. The users will be requested to disclose their name, contact information, availability, and length of time spent in the Hampton Roads region. The participants will use the Risk Finder tool under observation and participate in interviews. If more than 10 users volunteer for the study, a representative sample will be compiled for participation in interviews and exploration of the Risk Finder tool. Informing residents of high-risk areas, like Hampton Roads, about climate change is crucial to the safety of these areas. Increasing the usage and popularity of a tool like Risk Finder could potentially decrease environmental and infrastructural damage due to climate change and sea level rise.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Short sisal fibre reinforced polypropylene natural fibre composites (NFC) were made and characterized. Raw sisal fibre harvested from Tuludimtu Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Injection moulding grade polypropylene (PP) was procured from Ethio Plastics Industry. Sisal fibres extracted, washed with water, treated with alkaline solution, oven dried and cut into 5mm length. Physical, chemical and thermal properties of sisal fibre were characterized. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) characterization was done on both untreated and alkali treated sisal fibres. Two different sheet moulds made having cavities dimensions 60 mm x 125mm x 2 mm and 60 mm x 125mm x 4.5 mm, for preparing tensile and flexural specimens respectively. Injection moulding of test samples were made using CR Clarke 911thermoforming center. Tensile and flexural tests of NFC were carried out using Universal testing machine. Hardness was measured using Rockwell hardness tester.

description: The current limit on the electron's electric dipole moment, $|d_\mathrm{e}|<8.7\times 10^{-29} e {\cdotp} {\rm cm}$ (90% confidence), was set using the molecule thorium monoxide (ThO) in the $J=1$ rotational level of its $H ^3Δ_1$ electronic state [Science $\bf 343$, 269 (2014)]. This state in ThO is very robust against systematic errors related to magnetic fields or geometric phases, due in part to its $Ω$-doublet structure. These systematics can be further suppressed by operating the experiment under conditions where the $g$-factor difference between the $Ω$-doublets is minimized. We consider the $g$-factors of the ThO $H^3Δ_1$ state both experimentally and theoretically, including dependence on $Ω$-doublets, rotational level, and external electric field. The calculated and measured values are in good agreement. We find that the $g$-factor difference between $Ω$-doublets is smaller in $J=2$ than in $J=1$, and reaches zero at an experimentally accessible electric field. This means that the $H,J=2$ state should be even more robust against a number of systematic errors compared to $H,J=1$.
Effectiveness of increasing awareness and participation for new nurse residency in out of hospital setting
Creators: name: Braun, Susan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to generate interest in a new nurse residency program (NRP) in an out-of-hospital (OOH) setting. NRP allows nurses to refine their skills and become familiarized with the organization’s specific policies, procedures, and workflows within their specific department, which lead to satisfaction. When Nurse Residency Programs are in place, there is a decreased intent to leave the profession. Methodology: Using a Quality Improvement/Quality Assurance approach, emails were sent to the six facilities, including the “Organization Interest Survey”. A two-week follow email was sent after the initial email. Results: Over a two-week period one survey was returned. The returned survey was from a long-term facility (n=1, 16.69% return rate). This project had low return survey results, but the return survey did show high interest. The survey was made accessible through Qualtrics, with eight multiple-choice questions and two open-ended questions. Implications for Practice: Awareness and participation in (NRP) in the OOH setting will benefit the new nurses and substantially impact clinical practice by increasing competence and confidence early in the nurse’s career. A confident nurse will be highly engaged, empowered, and trust their clinical judgment. Based on interest, the model development will be explored to develop a virtual program for new nurse residents. These specific residency programs have the potential to impact facility attrition and support new nurses in their career journey.
Policy Iteration for Decentralized Control of Markov Decision Processes

description: Coordination of distributed agents is required for problems arising in many areas, including multi-robot systems, networking and e-commerce. As a formal framework for such problems, we use the decentralized partially observable Markov decision process (DEC-POMDP). Though much work has been done on optimal dynamic programming algorithms for the single-agent version of the problem, optimal algorithms for the multiagent case have been elusive. The main contribution of this paper is an optimal policy iteration algorithm for solving DEC-POMDPs. The algorithm uses stochastic finite-state controllers to represent policies. The solution can include a correlation device, which allows agents to correlate their actions without communicating. This approach alternates between expanding the controller and performing value-preserving transformations, which modify the controller without sacrificing value. We present two efficient value-preserving transformations: one can reduce the size of the controller and the other can improve its value while keeping the size fixed. Empirical results demonstrate the usefulness of value-preserving transformations in increasing value while keeping controller size to a minimum. To broaden the applicability of the approach, we also present a heuristic version of the policy iteration algorithm, which sacrifices convergence to optimality. This algorithm further reduces the size of the controllers at each step by assuming that probability distributions over the other agents actions are known. While this assumption may not hold in general, it helps produce higher quality solutions in our test problems.
