description: This paper explores the integration of graph knowledge from linguistic ontologies into multilingual Large Language Models (LLMs) using adapters to improve performance for low-resource languages (LRLs) in sentiment analysis (SA) and named entity recognition (NER). Building upon successful parameter-efficient fine-tuning techniques, such as K-ADAPTER and MAD-X, we propose a similar approach for incorporating knowledge from multilingual graphs, connecting concepts in various languages with each other through linguistic relationships, into multilingual LLMs for LRLs. Specifically, we focus on eight LRLs -- Maltese, Bulgarian, Indonesian, Nepali, Javanese, Uyghur, Tibetan, and Sinhala -- and employ language-specific adapters fine-tuned on data extracted from the language-specific section of ConceptNet, aiming to enable knowledge transfer across the languages covered by the knowledge graph. We compare various fine-tuning objectives, including standard Masked Language Modeling (MLM), MLM with full-word masking, and MLM with targeted masking, to analyse their effectiveness in learning and integrating the extracted graph data. Through empirical evaluation on language-specific tasks, we assess how structured graph knowledge affects the performance of multilingual LLMs for LRLs in SA and NER, providing insights into the potential benefits of adapting language models for low-resource scenarios.

Once upon a makerspace: elementary students document the stories of their thinking
Creators: name: Cuddihy, Cheryl
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: My school district designed and implemented a makerspace to increase student-driven learning. Our makerspace is an evolving learning environment where students can create, innovate, and educate. Children experiment with elements of coding, engineering, digital literacy, and video production through both “plugged in” (technology-based) or “unplugged” (hands-on experiences) lessons. The makerspace is designed to be an open-ended learning environment where students work with community experts, peers, and teachers through play-based learning (Britton, 2012). Most of the initial proposed and completed projects were teacher-driven and not student-generated. Examples of projects included Lego engineering modules, guided coding sessions, and arts integrated digital storytelling workshops with the local community theatre. The staff established a greenhouse and garden to grow food, which the school then donated to the local food bank. Students could also design simulations of different communities with Minecraft. Education Edition. While students were motivated and engaged during these experiences, they were not yet generating projects of personal interest or designing solutions to real world problems. Because makerspaces are a relatively new design in public schools, some would argue they are a fad in education with little empirical research to support this student-driven learning model. Furthermore, the majority of studies conducted to date were implemented in informal learning environments like museums, community centers, or public libraries, whereas the remaining studies conducted in formal education settings were derived mainly from higher education, high school, and middle school learning environments (Vossoughi & Bevan, 2014). This study employed mixed methods with a design-based research methodology to develop a deeper understanding of the learning ecology in the elementary makerspace-learning environment. Building upon the emerging body of research that documents both formal and informal learning outcomes in makerspaces, contributions of this study include advancing our understanding of how making thinking visible and peer feedback support students’ design thinking, how student preferences for tools and their situational interest are leveraged to create projects and relationships, and how students articulate their design process within the context of the elementary makerspace-learning environment. Educators can reference the study’s outcomes as they design the physical space and develop curricula for the makerspace-learning environment.

Comments
This specimen was found at Basalt Island, at 10 m in rocky habitat. It was identified by large globiferous pedicellariae, the spines were banded in purplish, greenish, whitish, or reddish hues. Liao & Clark (1995) and Liao (1998) reported this species from Xisha Island and the southern end of Hainan Island, but this represents the first occurrence of this species in Hong Kong, which is distributed widely throughout the Indo-Pacific and is well known for its venomous pedicellariae (e.g. Endean 1961).
This species is one of several tropical urchin species which practices “covering” behavior, placing debris of various types on its aboral surface. Barrett et al. (2019) has presented evidence suggesting this is a protection mechanism against UV radiation. Chen and Soong (2010) have reported that during spawning of this species (spring tide in May) it discards “collected” materials which have been accumulated on its surface.

FIGURE 17A–C
Comments
A commonly encountered species in shallow water Indo-Pacific settings. In Hong Kong, this species are observed in the Trio Island and the Ninepin Islands. Color varies, ranging from individuals with white to orange spines with dark or black test, especially along the interradial regions (Fig. 17A–C).
Tripneustes gratilla is herbivorous, feeding primarily on algae. Its feeding habits and ecology have been studied in populations across its range (e.g. Vaïtilingon et al. 2003), with particular relevance found in Hawaii where it has shown potential as a biological control agent (Stimson et al. 2007).
Tripneustes gratilla is one of several urchin species that practices “covering behavior”, using tube feet to place rocks and other debris on its aboral surface (Fig. 17A–C). This species is best associated with this behavior, which is thought to be protective against ultraviolet radiation (Ziegenhorn 2017).
Unlike other genera of wide-ranging urchin species, such as Echinometra mathaei (McCartney et al. 2000) which have shown diversification specific to particular regions, phylogeographic studies of Tripneustes gratilla concluded that it is a large metapopulation spanning two oceans and containing chaotic, nonequilibrium local variation, produced by the haphazard arrival of larvae or by unpredictable local extinction (e.g. Lessios et al. 2003).

From I&RS to response to intervention: a descriptive case study of a school district's RTI initiative
Creators: name: Kilic, A. Matthew

Year: 2020

description: Since the reauthorization of special education law in 2004, local education agencies have been looking ways to use a new protocol known as Response to Intervention (RTI) for identifying and remediating students with special needs. The field of special education is in a state of change with a growing interest in RTI, as RTI became a mandatory part of special education process in 17 states. In New Jersey school districts are permitted to shift to an RTI model or continue with their traditional intervention and referral systems (I&RS). The current descriptive case study explored one district’s use of an I&RS system with a focus on uncovering benefits and challenges involved in transforming it into an ideal RTI model. The study also analyzed the pre- and post-reading scores of at-risk students to determine whether the I&RS interventions produced significant gains in their reading skills. Following a mixed methods approach, data was collected through interviews with the I&RS members, field notes, and the review of archival records of at-risk students. Findings showed that participation in I&RS interventions moved at-risk student closer to grade-level in reading with third grade being critical for success of interventions, and staff members generally remained positive for shifting from I&RS to RTI framework. Additional findings suggested that staff members felt frustrated with RTI’s data collection and service eligibility protocols, and they sought for ongoing professional support to fulfill their roles and responsibilities.

Attitudes toward intentionally multicultural content: a mixed methods study
Creators: name: Pashkovskiy, Igor
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: This study gauged student attitudes toward intentionally multicultural content in introductory anthropology courses. Particularly, the goal of this mixed methods study was to develop a deeper understanding of the phenomenon while capturing the intricacies of teaching diversity content at a community college. The interview protocol used as part of this study consisted of open-ended questions developed using Patton’s (1990) six question types to gather data on student experiences and interpretations of a curriculum imbued with intentionally multicultural content. Additionally, implementation of a modified self-report questionnaire developed by Pascarella, Edison, Nora, Hagedorn, and Terenzini (1996) helped measure the quantitative relationship between exposure to intentionally multicultural content and perspectives toward multiculturalism. Situated in the theoretical frameworks of Boas’ (1963) principle of cultural relativism and Banks’ (1997) dimensions of multicultural education, qualitative and quantitative data was analyzed concurrently. The results of this study suggest that there is a general, positive relationship between exposure to intentionally multicultural content and growth of pluralistic tendencies among students. However, the results of this study also suggest that not all enrolled students experienced multicultural content the same way. Fluctuation and regression of multicultural values varied based on racial/ethnic affiliation as well as preexisting knowledge brought into the classroom by adult learners.
The first characterization of the WASH complex in C. elegans endocytic recycling
Creators: name: Smolyn, Jennifer
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: The quantity and distribution of proteins in the plasma membrane play an essential role in regulating a cell’s response to its environment and resulting physiology. This cell surface protein mosaic is largely influenced by the endocytic recycling pathway, misregulation of which has been implicated in a variety of human conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Endocytosis and subsequent intracellular movement of cargo requires both membrane fission and vesicle movement, with the force for these processes provided by a spatially and temporally regulated dynamic branched actin network, generated by Arp2/3-mediated actin polymerization. While it has been determined that endocytosis requires the nucleation promoting factors WASP and WAVE at the plasma membrane, a role for the structurally-related WASH complex for this process in C. elegans remains more elusive. In mammalian systems, the WASH complex seems to act at early endosomes, facilitating retrograde trafficking via its FAM21 subunit interacting with retromer. However, a homologous protein to FAM21 in the Caenorhabditis elegans WASH complex has yet to be identified. This work provides the first characterization of the C. elegans WASH complex, detailing its function on RAB-5-, PI(3)P-positive early endosomes to ensure proper sorting during endocytic recycling, likely through retrograde trafficking to the Golgi apparatus. Through RNAis and genetic crosses, these experiments reveal a functionally important role for the WASH complex in this pathway that is distinct from other nucleation promoting factors, including the WAVE complex, despite similarities between the two. Furthermore, proper recycling may be mediated in part by the protein C05G5.2, as these data suggest this could be the previously unidentified C. elegans FAM21 homolog.

description: Action anticipation is the task of forecasting future activity from a partially observed sequence of events. However, this task is exposed to intrinsic future uncertainty and the difficulty of reasoning upon interconnected actions. Unlike previous works that focus on extrapolating better visual and temporal information, we concentrate on learning action representations that are aware of their semantic interconnectivity based on prototypical action patterns and contextual co-occurrences. To this end, we propose the novel Semantically Guided Representation Learning (S-GEAR) framework. S-GEAR learns visual action prototypes and leverages language models to structure their relationship, inducing semanticity. To gather insights on S-GEAR's effectiveness, we test it on four action anticipation benchmarks, obtaining improved results compared to previous works: +3.5, +2.7, and +3.5 absolute points on Top-1 Accuracy on Epic-Kitchen 55, EGTEA Gaze+ and 50 Salads, respectively, and +0.8 on Top-5 Recall on Epic-Kitchens 100. We further observe that S-GEAR effectively transfers the geometric associations between actions from language to visual prototypes. Finally, S-GEAR opens new research frontiers in anticipation tasks by demonstrating the intricate impact of action semantic interconnectivity.

description: Biomass processing has been identified as a promising source of energy that can replace the use of fossil fuels in the near future. It can be used to produce both high-volume and low-value fuels and high-value but low volume chemicals. The priority for the development of variate fine chemicals from biomass feedstock stepped-up over the changing time. US Department of energy have suggested some top-value platform chemicals derived from biomass which include levulinic acid, succinic acid, glycerol, furans, etc. The idea of bio-refinery has been proposed that uses different conversion technologies to produce multiple products. Bio-based product acceptance in the market depends on the competitiveness of economics and sustainability when compared to oil-based chemicals and products.This work focuses on the development and design of economical routes for the production of various chemicals by utilizing all the components of biomass by using different process systems engineering tools such as techno-economic and life cycle analysis. First, different hydrolysis processes are identified and compared using the tools mentioned above. Then, the hydrolysis process is integrated with the production of p-Xylene. Next, promising chemicals such as butadiene, surfactants, jet-fuels, and lubricants are designed, simulated, and integrated with the production of p-Xylene. Lignin produced is then used to produce high-value polymers which is also integrated with the other processes to map a fully functional bio-refinery. Alternative biomass such as food waste is also explored for producing these chemicals and fuels. Finally, multi-objective optimization is used to develop an optimal bio-refinery configuration considering economic and environmental parameters with regards to supply, demand and process uncertainties.

Distribution. Southeastern Brazil.
Host. Unknown.
Material examined. Image of Paratype: ♀, BRAZIL: Paraná: Curitiba, v.1926, Anaclet Wiltuschnig. (MZSP).
Discussion. Unfortunately, type material for M. anacleti was not examined, and a reliable diagnosis cannot be made at this time. Based on the description given by Borgmeier (1969) and the features visible in the paratype image, the combination of small anterior scutellar setae, setulae of uniform length on the anepisternum, a slightly pointed third antennal segment, and geographic range of southern Brazil, it is reasonable that M. anacleti is a distinct species from the others treated herein. Furthermore, based on the description and remarks of Borgmeier (1969: 76–78), M. anacleti and M. brevicornis may not be separate species, as he states that "perhaps [M. brevicornis] is only an insular race or subspecies of anacleti." Myriophora brevicornis is known only from the male sex, and this potential synonymy can be explored when a revision of the males of Myriophora becomes feasible.

description: Understanding the interactions between nanoparticles (NP) and soft, complex interfaces, such as lipid bilayers (LB), and high-density polymer grafted substrates, is important for many biological, and technological processes, as well as for assessing health threats related to nanoparticle commercialization. Adhesion, intake, and release of hydrophobic NPs by 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine bilayers are explored, and the dynamics of unforced transport of NP across the LB is evaluated. NP intake may also cause cell instability that is studied by modeling the dynamics of the tension-induced hole formation in Np-loaded LBs. An NP size dependent relationship is established for the probability of membrane rupture within a given time as a function of the membrane tension. Next, the NP motion in polymer brush (PB) grafted channels is explored focusing on the process on NP chromatographic separation. . The existing theory, which considers NP motion in hard- wall channels with is extended for the case of PB-grafted substrates. Additionally, separation experiments are performed to develop a hybrid liquid chromatography model, which combines the hydrodynamic and size-exclusion chromatography approaches to predict the residence time in polymer-grafted chromatographic columns.

Comments
This is the first occurrence of this species in Hong Kong. Denuded tests of this species were recovered from Ninepin Islands and Bluff Island (Table 1). Liao & Clark (1995) noted that this species was very abundant in the Xisha Islands, and was always present buried in coral sand under rock fragments. They reported that abundance of this species reached a maximum of 100 individuals per square meter. However, it is more rarely seen in Hong Kong with only two sightings of this species from local sheltered and coral settings.

Impact of carbohydrate binding modules on transglycosylation efficiency in the glycoside hydrolase family 5 proteins
Creators: name: Kasture, Madhura
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Oligosaccharides are significant in many biological processes such as modulating protein folding, cell interactions, and binding and are widely used in prebiotics and pharmaceutical industries. This rising popularity has accelerated the research for their sustainable source of generation. Enzymatic synthesis offers an alternative over standard chemical synthesis to produce these oligosaccharides with higher specificity and product purity. Transglycosylases are a class of glycoside hydrolases (GH) present in nature and are ideal biocatalysts for this process. Since these are few in number and limited in substrate specificity, over the past couple of years, extensive studies and advancements have been made to engineer glycoside hydrolases to reduce the hydrolytic activity of these enzymes to perform transglycosylation to produce oligosaccharides.This thesis investigates the transglycosylation activity of glycoside hydrolases family five that has tethered carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) CBM3a. CBMs improve the catalytic efficiency by binding to the polysaccharide chain, making the substrate more accessible to the enzyme. The catalytic nucleophile of GH5 enzymes was substituted for alanine, glycine, and serine amino acids. Activity assay in the presence of an activated soluble sugar was performed to obtain a product profile for the enzymes. With the data from the activity assays, a kinetic model was developed. A structure-functional analysis was attempted to explain the results. It was observed that few enzymes with a mutated catalytic nucleophile show transglycosylation like activity in the presence of an appended CBM3a, suggesting that the presence of CBM3a affected the mechanism of the enzyme activity other than just increasing the local concentration of the substrate at the catalytic pocket. In summary, this study provides results that led further confidence in the active role of the CBM3a in the transglycosylation activity of the GH5 enzymes and understanding the mechanism.

Comments
No living individuals of this species were observed, but a single cleared test was collected from sandy bottoms from the southern end of Ninepin Islands at 7 m depth. Previous studies found Clypeaster virescens in Hong Kong but did not find Clypeaster reticulatus (Morton & Morton 1983; Liao & Clark 1995). Clypeaster reticulatus is distinguished by the markedly concave oral surface and the closed petals. Liao & Clark (1995) described this species as a ubiquitous tropical Indo-West Pacific species, very common in southern China and the Gulf of Tonkin between 20– 60 m. Chao (2000) reported this species in 2–5 m depth from Taiwan. This is the first occurrence of this species in Hong Kong.

Model-based analysis and dynamic optimization of feeder refill strategy
Creators: name: Melkeri, Yash Tipanna
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Traditionally, the pharmaceutical industries have been using batch processes for their ease of production of a broad range of products using the same equipment. But due to the increased challenges faced by the pharmaceutical industry and limitations of batch process manufacturing of pharmaceutical products such as controllability and scale-up issues, the pharmaceutical industries have led to come up with more efficient manufacturing techniques and transitioning to the continuous production of pharmaceutical products. To facilitate the speed of transition, the importance of process engineering and optimization through modeling has surfaced. Robust modeling of different unit operations and integration of them create numerous applications. These include analysis of the effect of variation in critical process parameters on the product quality attributes and leads into a reduction in the wastage of time and material via dynamic optimization of a process in comparison to a traditional heuristic experimental based method.In this work, a model-based method has been proposed to investigate, analyze, and identify the feeder refill strategy. A systematic framework was developed for the dynamic optimization of a unit operation, which was exemplified through the optimization of the refill strategy. The effect of process parameters and material properties on the refill parameters was also investigated.
