description: We use deep J and Ks images of the Antennae (NGC 4038/9) obtained with WIRC on the Palomar 200-inch telescope, together with the Chandra X-ray source list of Zezas et al. (2002a), to search for IR counterparts to X-ray point sources. We establish an X-ray/IR astrometric frame tie with 0.5" rms residuals over a \~4.3' field. We find 13 ``strong'' IR counterparts brighter than Ks = 17.8 mag and < 1.0" from X-ray sources, and an additional 6 ``possible'' IR counterparts between 1.0" and 1.5" from X-ray sources. The surface density of IR sources near the X-ray sources suggests only ~2 of the ``strong'' counterparts and ~3 of the ``possible'' counterparts are chance superpositions of unrelated objects. Comparing both strong and possible IR counterparts to our photometric study of ~220 Antennae, IR clusters, we find the IR counterparts to X-ray sources are \~1.2 mag more luminous in Ks than average non-X-ray clusters. We also note that the X-ray/IR matches are concentrated in the spiral arms and ``overlap'' regions of the Antennae. This implies that these X-ray sources lie in the most ``super'' of the Antennae's Super Star Clusters, and thus trace the recent massive star formation history here. Based on the N_H inferred from the X-ray sources without IR counterparts, we determine that the absence of most of the ``missing'' IR counterparts is because they are intrinsically less luminous in the IR, implying that they trace a different (possibly older) stellar population.

Year: 2013

description: Tardive dyskinesia (TD), characterized by oro‐buccal‐lingual stereotypy, can manifest in the form of akathisia, dystonia, tics, tremor, chorea, or as a combination of different types of abnormal movements. In addition to movement disorders (including involuntary vocalizations), patients with TD may have a variety of sensory symptoms, such as urge to move (as in akathisia), paresthesias, and pain. TD is a form of tardive syndrome—a group of iatrogenic hyperkinetic and hypokinetic movement disorders caused by dopamine receptor‐blocking agents. The pathophysiology of TD remains poorly understood, and treatment of this condition is often challenging. In this update, we provide the most current information on the history, nomenclature, etiology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, phenomenology, differential diagnosis, and treatment of TD.

description: Background: Movement disorders, particularly those associated with basal ganglia disease, have a high rate of comorbid neuropsychiatric illness. Methods: We consider the pathophysiological basis of the comorbidity between movement disorders and neuropsychiatric illness by 1) reviewing the epidemiology of neuropsychiatric illness in a range of hyperkinetic movement disorders, and 2) correlating findings to evidence from studies that have utilized modern neuroimaging techniques to investigate these disorders. In addition to diseases classically associated with basal ganglia pathology, such as Huntington disease, Wilson disease, the neuroacanthocytoses, and diseases of brain iron accumulation, we include diseases associated with pathology of subcortical white matter tracts, brain stem nuclei, and the cerebellum, such as metachromatic leukodystrophy, dentatorubropallidoluysian atrophy, and the spinocerebellar ataxias. Conclusions: Neuropsychiatric symptoms are integral to a thorough phenomenological account of hyperkinetic movement disorders. Drawing on modern theories of cortico-subcortical circuits, we argue that these disorders can be conceptualized as disorders of complex subcortical networks with distinct functional architectures. Damage to any component of these complex information-processing networks can have variable and often profound consequences for the function of more remote neural structures, creating a diverse but nonetheless rational pattern of clinical symptomatology.

description: This paper presents a novel system architecture that integrates blind source separation with joint beat and downbeat tracking in musical audio signals. The source separation module segregates the percussive and non-percussive components of the input signal, over which beat and downbeat tracking are performed separately and then the results are aggregated with a learnable fusion mechanism. This way, the system can adaptively determine how much the tracking result for an input signal should depend on the input's percussive or non-percussive components. Evaluation on four testing sets that feature different levels of presence of drum sounds shows that the new architecture consistently outperforms the widely-adopted baseline architecture that does not employ source separation.

Understanding Tremor in Multiple Sclerosis: Prevalence, Pathological Anatomy, and Pharmacological and Surgical Approaches to Treatment

Year: 2012

description: Background: Given that tremor is one of the most prevalent and disabling features of multiple sclerosis (MS), we will review the most significant milestones in tremor in this disease in recent years, focusing on prevalence, clinical features, anatomical basis, and treatment. Methods: Data for this review were identified by searching MEDLINE with the search terms “multiple sclerosis” and “tremor”. References were also identified from relevant articles published between January 1966 and May 2012. Results: The predominant type of MS tremor is a large-amplitude, postural, and kinetic tremor, which most commonly affects the arms, although tremor can also involve head, neck, vocal cords, and trunk. Involvement of the tongue, jaw, or palate has not been reported. Although the anatomical basis underlying tremor in MS is poorly understood, the link between the cerebellum and the MS-related tremor is supported by clinical and experimental studies. Currently available medication is often unsuccessful in most cases. Surgical treatment can be a satisfactory alternative to treat severe and disabling tremor. Discussion: Tremor in MS patients could be considered as an advanced consequence of the disease and its presence suggests a more aggressive course. MS tremor can be severe and very disabling for a small group of patients. Treatment of MS tremor remains a great challenge. Recent studies suggest that dissociating tremor from cerebellar dysfunction using selected clinical tests would be the key issue to successful surgical treatment. Understanding the pathophysiology and biochemistry of tremor production in MS may lead to new therapeutic approaches.

description: Machine learning (ML) is now commonplace, powering data-driven applications in various organizations. Unlike the traditional perception of ML in research, ML production pipelines are complex, with many interlocking analytical components beyond training, whose sub-parts are often run multiple times on overlapping subsets of data. However, there is a lack of quantitative evidence regarding the lifespan, architecture, frequency, and complexity of these pipelines to understand how data management research can be used to make them more efficient, effective, robust, and reproducible. To that end, we analyze the provenance graphs of 3000 production ML pipelines at Google, comprising over 450,000 models trained, spanning a period of over four months, in an effort to understand the complexity and challenges underlying production ML. Our analysis reveals the characteristics, components, and topologies of typical industry-strength ML pipelines at various granularities. Along the way, we introduce a specialized data model for representing and reasoning about repeatedly run components in these ML pipelines, which we call model graphlets. We identify several rich opportunities for optimization, leveraging traditional data management ideas. We show how targeting even one of these opportunities, i.e., identifying and pruning wasted computation that does not translate to model deployment, can reduce wasted computation cost by 50% without compromising the model deployment cadence.

description: We start with a discussion of a phase diagram and three special collision energies: (i) the first touching of the mixed phase; (ii) the softest point; (iii) the critical point. We then proceed to more details about the role a massless critical mode should play in the particle interaction and the elliptic flow. We then enter a discussion of whether high density QGP is or is not strongly coupled, and if so what one can say about color superconductivity domain using universality and data on trapped ultracold fermionic atoms. At the end, we briefly discuss deconfinement, or more specifically on whether there are precursors of the QCD strings at $T>T_c$, as well as possible role of magnetically charged excitations (monopoles and dyons).

description: We propose energy band engineering to enhance tunneling electroresistance (TER) in ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJs). We predict that an ultrathin dielectric layer with a smaller band gap, embedded into a ferroelectric barrier layer, acts as a switch controlling high and low conductance states of an FTJ depending on polarization orientation. Using first-principles modeling based on density functional theory, we investigate this phenomenon for a prototypical SrRuO3/BaTiO3/SrRuO3 FTJ with a BaSnO3 monolayer embedded in the BaTiO3 barrier. We show that in such a composite-barrier FTJ, ferroelectric polarization of BaTiO3 shifts the conduction band minimum of the BaSnO3 monolayer above or below the Fermi energy depending on polarization orientation. The resulting switching between direct and resonant tunneling leads to a TER effect with a giant ON/OFF conductance ratio. The proposed resonant band engineering of FTJs can serve as a viable tool to enhance their performance useful for device application.

Στόχος της εργασίας υπήρξε η συγκέντρωση του υπάρχοντος υλικού, η αναζήτηση των απαρχών της Pudicitia και η μελέτη της εξάπλωσης, εξέλιξης, σημασίας και ερμηνείας της. Η ανάγκη διάκρισης πρωτότυπων έργων και ρωμαϊκών αντιγράφων αποτέλεσε το βασικό κριτήριο για την οργάνωση του υλικού : το πρώτο μέρος της μελέτης περιλαμβάνει τα πρωτότυπα έργα, από τον 5ο αι. π.χ. ως την όψιμη ελληνιστική εποχή, ενώ το δεύτερο μέρος τα αντίγραφα των ρωμαϊκών χρόνων. Ακολουθεί τρίτο μέρος, με την ερμηνεία της Pudicitia, η οποία φάνηκε τελικά ότι ξεκίνησε ήδη από τον 6ο αι. π.χ. ως ένα εικονογραφικό μοτίβο ελεύθερα αποδιδόμενο για μορφές σε ποικίλες σκηνές και περιστάσεις. Στα ελληνιστικά χρόνια αποκτά μια σειρά από πάγια χαρακτηριστικά και αποτελεί πλέον, κυρίως μέσω των τιμητικών αγαλμάτων, αντανάκλαση της καθιερωμένης μορφής των γυναικών στις ελληνικές πόλεις.

description: The current dissertation deals with the various types of standing draped female statues of the hellenistic and roman time, which, according to the archaelogical terminology, are known by the name of "Pudicitia". The goals of this research were to gather the existing material, search for the begginings of Pudicitia and study its spread, evolution and meaning. The need to descriminate the original statues from the roman copies was the basis on which the material was organised: thefirst part of the study contains the greek originals, dated from the 5th c. B.C. to the late hellenistic time, while the second part deals with the copies of the roman time. There is also a third part that concerns the meaning of Pudicitia, whose appearance in art goes back to the 6th c. B.C., when it was used as a free motive for women in a variety of scenes. During the hellenistic time it develops a number of standard characteristics and functions, basically through the honorary statues, as a reflection of the appearance of preminent women in the greek cities. In the roman time Pudicitia is used much more widely, surving various needs, simply being a statuary type easy to use and pleasant to look at

description: Background: Symptoms of spasmodic dysphonia (SD) are usually managed successfully with botulinum toxin injections. Vocal tremor (VT), which accompanies SD, has a poor response to this treatment. Case Report: We report a case of a female with SD and VT who became symptom‐free for 10 months after the intake of a single dose of sodium oxybate (Xyrem®). The long‐term treatment effect correlated with attenuated brain activity in the key regions of dystonic brain network. Discussion: Our case demonstrates that the novel treatment of sodium oxybate may hold promise for SD patients, especially those who have associated VT.

description: Scholarly journals are increasingly using social media to share their latest research publications and communicate with their readers. Having a presence on social media gives journals a platform to raise their profile and promote their content. This study compares the number of clicks received when journals provide two types of links to subscription articles: open access (OA) and paid content links. We examine the OA effect using unique matched-pair data for the journal Nature Materials. Our study finds that OA links perform better than paid content links. In particular, when the journal does not indicate that a link to an article is an OA link, there is an obvious drop in performance against clicks on links indicating OA status. OA has a positive effect on the number of clicks in all countries, but its positive impact is slightly greater in developed countries. The results suggest that free content is more attractive to users than paid content. Social media exposure of scholarly articles promotes the use of research outputs. Combining social media dissemination with OA appears to enhance the reach of scientific information. However, extensive further efforts are needed to remove barriers to OA.

description: In order to isolate the contribution of the nucleon strange electric form factor to the parity-violating asymmetry measured in 4He(\vec e,e')4He experiments, it is crucial to have a reliable estimate of the magnitude of isospin-symmetry-breaking (ISB) corrections in both the nucleon and 4He. We examine this issue in the present letter. Isospin admixtures in the nucleon are determined in chiral perturbation theory, while those in 4He are derived from nuclear interactions, including explicit ISB terms. A careful analysis of the model dependence in the resulting predictions for the nucleon and nuclear ISB contributions to the asymmetry is carried out. We conclude that, at the low momentum transfers of interest in recent measurements reported by the HAPPEX collaboration at Jefferson Lab, these contributions are of comparable magnitude to those associated with strangeness components in the nucleon electric form factor.

description: The Humphreys-Davidson (HD) limit empirically defines a region of high luminosities (log L > 5.5) and low effective temperatures (T < 20kK) on the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram in which hardly any supergiant stars are observed. Attempts to explain this limit through instabilities arising in near- or super-Eddington winds have been largely unsuccessful. Using modern stellar evolution we aim to re-examine the HD limit, investigating the impact of enhanced mixing on massive stars. We construct grids of stellar evolution models appropriate for the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC, LMC), as well as for the Galaxy, spanning various initial rotation rates and convective overshooting parameters. Significantly enhanced mixing apparently steers stellar evolution tracks away from the region of the HD limit. To quantify the excess of over-luminous stars in stellar evolution simulations we generate synthetic populations of massive stars, and make detailed comparisons with catalogues of cool (T < 12.5kK) and luminous (log L > 4.7) stars in the SMC and LMC. We find that adjustments to the mixing parameters can lead to agreement between the observed and simulated red supergiant populations, but for hotter supergiants the simulations always over-predict the number of very luminous (log L > 5.4) stars compared to observations. The excess of luminous supergiants decreases for enhanced mixing, possibly hinting at an important role mixing has in explaining the HD limit. Still, the HD limit remains unexplained for hotter supergiants.

description: Background: Dystonia is characterized by involuntary muscle contractions that lead to abnormal postures and/or repetitive movements. Task‐specific dystonia only manifests during a specific activity. Case report: We report a case of a female with writer's cramp who developed a second task‐specific hand dystonia (tremor and abnormal posturing of the hand while using a computer mouse) many years after the initial onset. Discussion: This observation is in agreement with the concept that task‐specific hand dystonia is induced by repetitive, skilled hand movements in those who have an intrinsic vulnerability towards developing “dystonic” motor programs.

description: Background:The phenomenology of tremor is broad and its classification is complicated. Furthermore, the full range of tremor phenomenology with respect to specific neurological and neurodegenerative diseases has not been fully elaborated. Case Report: This right‐handed man had a chief complaint of jaw tremor, which began approximately 20 years prior to death at age 101 years. He had been diagnosed with essential tremor (ET) by a local doctor. His examination at age 100 years was notable for marked jaw tremor at rest in the absence of other clear features of parkinsonism, mild kinetic tremor of the hands and, in the last year of life, a score of 22/41 on a cognitive screen. A senior movement disorder neurologist raised doubt about the “ET” diagnosis. The history and videotaped examination were reviewed by three additional senior tremor experts, who raised a number of diagnostic possibilities. A complete postmortem examination was performed by a senior neuropathologist, and was notable for the presence of tufted astrocytes, AT8‐labeled glial cytoplasmic inclusions, and globose neuronal tangles. These changes were widespread and definitive. A neuropathological diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy was assigned. Discussion:This case presents with mixed and difficult to clinically classify tremor phenomenology and other neurological findings. The postmortem diagnosis was not predicted based on the clinical features, and it is possible that it does not account for all of the features. The case raises many interesting issues and provides a window into the complexity of the interpretation, nosology, and classification of tremor phenomenology.

description: Multiple attacks have shown that in-vehicle networks have vulnerabilities which can be exploited. Securing the Controller Area Network (CAN) for modern vehicles has become a necessary task for car manufacturers. Some attacks inject potentially large amount of fake messages into the CAN network; however, such attacks are relatively easy to detect. In more sophisticated attacks, the original messages are modified, making the detection a more complex problem. In this paper, we present a novel machine learning based intrusion detection method for CAN networks. We focus on detecting message modification attacks, which do not change the timing patterns of communications. Our proposed temporal convolutional network-based solution can learn the normal behavior of CAN signals and differentiate them from malicious ones. The method is evaluated on multiple CAN-bus message IDs from two public datasets including different types of attacks. Performance results show that our lightweight approach compares favorably to the state-of-the-art unsupervised learning approach, achieving similar or better accuracy for a wide range of scenarios with a significantly lower false positive rate.

description: Micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) with excellent electrochemical behaviours and flexibility possess great promise for portable and wearable electronic devices. A novel type of hybrid-dimensional Fe2O3/graphene/Ag ink is developed and extruded into MSC electrodes through the direct ink writing-based three-dimensional (3D) printing. The optimal solid-state MSC device exhibits a maximum areal capacitance of 412.3 mF cm−2 at 2 mA cm−2, a correspondingly high energy density of 65.4 μWh cm−2 and 89% capacitance retention for over 5000 charge and discharge cycles. The superior electrochemical performance is profited by the high electron transport synergistically boosted by two-dimensional graphene nanosheets and one-dimensional Ag nanowires, and the high pseudocapacitive behaviours of Fe2O3 nanoparticles. The 3D printed MSC exhibits reliable flexibility with remarkable retention of 90.2% of its original capacitance after 500 bending cycles. The current 3D printing fabrication demonstrates an efficient route for advanced miniaturised electrochemical energy storage.

Η πολιτεία μέσα από τις νομοθετικές ρυθμίσεις, το σχεδιασμό και την υλοποίηση πολιτικών για τα ειδικά άτομα, συνέβαλε ουσιαστικά στον περιορισμό του ρόλου των κοινωνικών προκαταλήψεων απέναντι των ειδικών αναγκών, περιόρισε τις αρνητικές συμπεριφορές και βοήθησε να αυξηθεί η αυτενέργειά τους. Τα ίδια τα ειδικά άτομα διαπιστώνουν ότι η κοινωνική ισότητα και η προστασία για χειραφέτηση της ανθρώπινης αξιοπρέπειας είναι αγαθά που κατακτώνται μέσα από τον καθημερινό τρόπο ζωής
description: The 1975 Constitution, as reformed in 1986 and in 2001, includes innovative social provisions for disabled persons, thus displaying the wide spirit of the constititional lawmaker, in the framework of the anthropocentric and social values which animated it. Henceforth, disabled persons can demand their protection by the State as regards human respect and value and the development of their personality, in order to participate and be equally integrated in the society. Constitutional provisions on disabled individuals have been materialized to a sufficient degree by the lawmaker, who immediately proceeded to the adoption of necessary measures for the integration of the protection of disabled individuals' rights. The disabled individuals' social protection summarizes the change in perception, the social measures education, the social rights in the framework of the established social state, the social security, their vocational training and employment. Constitutional provisions individuals have been materialized to a sufficient degree by the lawmaker, who immediately proceeded to the adoption of necessary measures for the integration of the social protection of disabled individuals' rights. The disabled persons themselves begin to realize that social equality and the protection of the emamcipation of human dignity are goods conquered through every day life

description: We have performed a spectroscopic study of globular clusters (GCs) in the giant elliptical NGC 5128 using the 2dF facility at the Anglo-Australian telescope. We obtained integrated optical spectra for a total of 254 GCs, 79 of which are newly confirmed on the basis of their radial velocities and spectra. In addition, we obtained an integrated spectrum of the galaxy starlight along the southern major axis. We derive an empirical metallicity distribution function (MDF) for 207 GCs (~14 of the estimated total GC system) based upon Milky Way GCs. This MDF is multimodal at high statistical significance with peaks at [Z/H]~-1.3 and -0.5. A comparison between the GC MDF and that of the stellar halo at 20 kpc (~4 Reff) reveals close coincidence at the metal-rich ends of the distributions. However, an inner 8 kpc stellar MDF shows a clear excess of metal-rich stars when compared to the GCs. We compare a higher S/N subsample (147 GCs) with two stellar population models which include non-solar abundance ratio corrections. The vast majority of our sample (~90%) appears old, with ages similar to the Milky Way GC system. There is evidence for a population of intermediate-age (~4-8 Gy) GCs (<15% of the sample) which are on average more metal-rich than the old GCs. We also identify at least one younger cluster (~1-2 Gy) in the central regions of the galaxy. Our observations are consistent with a picture where NGC 5128 has undergone at least two mergers and/or interactions involving star formation and limited GC formation since z=1, however the effect of non-canonical hot stellar populations on the integrated spectra of GCs remains an outstanding uncertainty in our GC age estimates.

description: We prove that $s_r(K_k) = O(k^5 r^{5/2})$, where $s_r(K_k)$ is the Ramsey parameter introduced by Burr, Erdős and Lovász in 1976, which is defined as the smallest minimum degree of a graph $G$ such that any $r$-colouring of the edges of $G$ contains a monochromatic $K_k$, whereas no proper subgraph of $G$ has this property. The construction used in our proof relies on a group theoretic model of generalised quadrangles introduced by Kantor in 1980.

description: Η παρούσα διατριβή ερευνά την ετερότητα στην γαλλόφωνη ελληνική λογοτεχνία στον 20ο αιώνα, οι ρίζες της οποίας χρονολογούνται πριν την επανάσταση του 1821, ενισχύθηκαν με την μικρασιατική καταστροφή και τους δύο παγκόσμιους πολέμους. Η ελληνική γαλλόφωνη λογοτεχνία, όπως όλες οι μεταναστευτικές λογοτεχνίες, αποτελεί το πεδίο όπου ο συγγραφέας ταλανίζεται από την προβληματική του Αλλου, και αναζητά τον αυτοπροσδιορισμό σε σχέση και μέσα από τον Αλλον. Μέσα από τα έργα των Ελλήνων γαλλόφωνων συγγραφέων, τα οποία είναι γραμμένα φυσικό αλλά και σαν γλωσσικό χώρο του Αλλου, η διατριβή αυτή στοχεύει στην προσέγγιση του Αλλου, προσδιορίζει τις διαφορετικές μορφές με τις οποίες εκφράζεται αυτός ο εκπατρισμός, και μέσα από την θεματική και τηε τεχνοτροπία που επέλεξαν οι συγγραφείς, επιδιώκει ωα διακρίνει ποιος είναι αυτός ο Αλλος, και αν υπάρχουν κοινοί άξονες μεταξύ τους. Με άλλα λόγια, επιχειρείται μια ακόμη προσέγγιση της ευρωπαϊκής κουλτούρας από την πλευρά του έλληνα, για την νοοτροπία του οποίου η λύση πάντα αντιπροσώπευε την πρόοδο καθώς και της δημιουργίας ελληνο-γαλλικής ταυτότητας
description: This PhD seeks to demonstrate the otherness through the greek literary francophony of the 20th century, which, as all the literatures of the migrancy, constitues the field where the authors are formented by the questioning of the other and require the self-definition through the other, Throughout the novels of the greek francophone authors, which are written in the natural and linguistic space of the Other, we define the different forms which express this exil and through their usual issues and their style, we try to define who this Other is, and if there are any common axis among them. In other words, it is undertaken an approach of the european culture, experienced by the Greek, for whom the West had always been representing the progress, the renovation and the originality
Fixed Dystonia of the Left Hand in a Violinist: A Rare Functional Disorder

description: Background:Fixed dystonia leads to an immobile abnormal posturing of the affected limb. There is an ongoing debate whether this condition is psychogenic in origin. Case Report:We present a 21‐year‐old violinist with fixed dystonia after an acute overuse injury with a transient cyanosis but no signs for psychological trauma. After Incobotulinumtoxin injection, symptoms subsided within 8 hours. Discussion:Our case corroborates the notion that fixed dystonias after minor injuries are functional disorders. It underlines the necessity of a biopsychosocial approach to functional disorders, considering the possibility of an overlay between organic and non‐organic disorders.

description: The optical-UV and X-ray instruments on-board XMM-Ndewton provide an excellent opportunity to perform simultaneous observations of violently variable objects over a broad wavelength range. The UV and X-ray bright BL Lac object PKS 2155-304 has been repeatedly observed with XMM-Ndewton about twice per year. In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of the simultaneous multiwavelength variability of the source from optical to X-rays, based on the currently available XMM-Ndewton observations. These observations probed the intra-day multiwavelength variability at optical-UV and X-ray wavelengths of the source. The UV variability amplitude is substantially smaller than the X-ray one, and the hardness ratios of the UV to X-rays correlates with the X-ray fluxes: the brighter the source, the flatter the UV-X-ray spectra. On 2000 May 30-31 the UV and X-ray light curves were weakly correlated, while the UV variations followed the X-ray ones with no detectable lags on 2000 November 19-21. On 2001 November 30 the source exhibited a major X-ray flare that was not detected in the optical. The intra-day UV and X-ray variability presented here is not similar to the inter-day UV and X-ray variability obtained from the previous coordinated extensive multiwavelength campaigns on the source, indicating that different ``modes'' of variability might be operating in PKS 2155-304 on different timescales or from epoch to epoch.

Gender discrimination and the recruitment process : matching people and jobs in Nanaimo and Richmond
Creators: name: Maybin, Fiona Leslie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The purpose of the thesis is to examine the nature of recruitment practices in Nanaimo and Richmond, particularly the ways in which recruiters define job requirements, attract applicants, and select a candidate, in order to investigate whether and how recruiters practice direct or indirect discrimination based on gender. To accomplish this, 74 recruiters were interviewed in August 1990 and February 1991, resulting in 84 job vacancies and 151 people hired. Data were obtained from unstructured interviews with recruiters, who were asked to give an account of the procedure that they followed to fill a recent job vacancy in their organization. Five stages of the recruitment process were examined: job descriptions and advertisements; ideal candidate construction; applicant search methods; narrowing the applicant pool; and the job interview and final candidate selection. It was found that, throughout the recruitment process, recruiters rarely practiced direct forms of discrimination against applicants based on their sex. However, employers’ search methods and the ways that job descriptions were worded usually led to only one sex applying for the vacant positions, with the exception of gender-neutral job vacancies. It was also found that female applicants for female-gendered jobs were evaluated much more than males on the basis of personal characteristics. Ideal candidate construction and the elimination of short-listed applicants were stages where the most frequent use of covert discrimination on the basis of gender was located. Few personal characteristics were devoid of gendered connotations; yet, most recruiters were unaware of the implications of attaching the need for personal characteristics to the requirements for a job.
Tremor in Multiple System Atrophy - a review

description: Background: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare neurodegenerative movement disorder characterized by a rapidly progressive course. The clinical presentation can include autonomic failure, parkinsonism, and cerebellar signs. Differentiation from Parkinson’s disease (PD) is difficult if there is levodopa-responsive parkinsonism, rest tremor, lack of cerebellar ataxia, or mild/delayed autonomic failure. Little is known about tremor prevalence and features in MSA. Methods: We performed a PubMed search to collect the literature on tremor in MSA and considered reports published between 1900 and 2013. Results: Tremor is a common feature among MSA patients. Up to 80% of MSA patients show tremor, and patients with the parkinsonian variant of MSA are more commonly affected. Postural tremor has been documented in about half of the MSA population and is frequently referred to as jerky postural tremor with evidence of minipolymyoclonus on neurophysiological examination. Resting tremor has been reported in about one-third of patients but, in contrast to PD, only 10% show typical parkinsonian “pill-rolling” rest tremor. Some patients exhibit intention tremor associated with cerebellar dysmetria. In general, MSA patients can have more than one tremor type owing to a complex neuropathology that includes both the basal ganglia and pontocerebellar circuits. Discussion: Tremor is not rare in MSA and might be underrecognized. Rest, postural, action and intention tremor can all be present, with jerky tremulous movements of the outstretched hands being the most characteristic. However, reviewing the data on tremor in MSA suggests that not every shaky movement satisfies tremor criteria; therefore, further studies are needed.

Identity-Aware CycleGAN for Face Photo-Sketch Synthesis and Recognition

description: Face photo-sketch synthesis and recognition has many applications in digital entertainment and law enforcement. Recently, generative adversarial networks (GANs) based methods have significantly improved the quality of image synthesis, but they have not explicitly considered the purpose of recognition. In this paper, we first propose an Identity-Aware CycleGAN (IACycleGAN) model that applies a new perceptual loss to supervise the image generation network. It improves CycleGAN on photo-sketch synthesis by paying more attention to the synthesis of key facial regions, such as eyes and nose, which are important for identity recognition. Furthermore, we develop a mutual optimization procedure between the synthesis model and the recognition model, which iteratively synthesizes better images by IACycleGAN and enhances the recognition model by the triplet loss of the generated and real samples. Extensive experiments are performed on both photo-tosketch and sketch-to-photo tasks using the widely used CUFS and CUFSF databases. The results show that the proposed method performs better than several state-of-the-art methods in terms of both synthetic image quality and photo-sketch recognition accuracy.
