Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Objectives: Despite the recent adoption of large language models (LLMs) for biomedical information extraction, challenges in prompt engineering and algorithms persist, with no dedicated software available. To address this, we developed LLM-IE: a Python package for building complete information extraction pipelines. Our key innovation is an interactive LLM agent to support schema definition and prompt design.
 Materials and Methods: The LLM-IE supports named entity recognition, entity attribute extraction, and relation extraction tasks. We benchmarked on the i2b2 datasets and conducted a system evaluation.
 Results: The sentence-based prompting algorithm resulted in the best performance while requiring a longer inference time. System evaluation provided intuitive visualization.
 Discussion: LLM-IE was designed from practical NLP experience in healthcare and has been adopted in internal projects. It should hold great value to the biomedical NLP community.
 Conclusion: We developed a Python package, LLM-IE, that provides building blocks for robust information extraction pipeline construction.

description: Random walks and polygons are used to model polymers. In this paper we consider the extension of writhe, self-linking number and linking number to open chains. We then study the average writhe, self-linking and linking number of random walks and polygons over the space of configurations as a function of their length. We show that the mean squared linking number, the mean squared writhe and the mean squared self-linking number of oriented uniform random walks or polygons of length $n$, in a convex confined space, are of the form $O(n^2)$. Moreover, for a fixed simple closed curve in a convex confined space, we prove that the mean absolute value of the linking number between this curve and a uniform random walk or polygon of $n$ edges is of the form $O(\sqrt{n})$. Our numerical studies confirm those results. They also indicate that the mean absolute linking number between any two oriented uniform random walks or polygons, of $n$ edges each, is of the form O(n). Equilateral random walks and polygons are used to model polymers in $θ$-conditions. We use numerical simulations to investigate how the self-linking and linking number of equilateral random walks scale with their length.

description: Na gruncie pedagogiki krytycznej wciąż zadane i drążone są pytania dotyczące możliwości wykorzystania potencjału emancypacyjnego, umożliwiającego uczestnikom interakcji i procesów edukacyjnych doświadczenie ich wolności i odpowiedzialności. Zarówno emancypacja, jak i upełnomocnienie/empowerment są modnymi słowami żargonu w edukacji (nie tylko krytycznej). Tekst koncentruje uwagę i argumentację na uproszczonej, czasem naiwnej identyfikacji tych dwóch pojęć, co prowadzi do nieporozumień i logicznych uproszczeń w rozumowaniu, a jeszcze gorzej w praktyce. Każdy z tych terminów odnosi się do różnych zjawisk, różnych praktyk społecznych i edukacyjnych, z różnymi źródłami, procesami i konsekwencjami. Wprowadzenie tych terminów do pedagogiki bez uprzedniego zdefiniowania ich znaczenia powoduje zamieszanie. Odnosi się to nie tylko do emancypacji, która w powszechnym rozumieniu jest (niepoprawnie) utożsamiana z wyzwoleniem kobiet, ale także do upełnomocnienia, zwykle rozumianego w pedagogice jako obietnica zarządzania przez uczestników interakcji edukacyjnych ich własnymi działaniami. W argumentacji nieutożsamiania tych dwóch zjawisk wykorzystane są specyficzne cechy każdego z nich ze wskazaniem różnic między nimi. Centralną kategorią różnicującą oba doświadczenia (emancypowania się i upełnomocnienia) jest źródło wolności, mianowicie wewnętrznej w procesie emancypacji i zewnętrznej w upełnomocnieniu. Wskazana jest iluzja wyzwolenia poprzez upełnomocnienie w procesie edukacji. Jako przykłady wskazane są pułapki izonomii rozwojowej.

description: We study the conductance of mesoscopic graphene rings in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field by means of numerical calculations based on a tight-binding model. First, we consider the magnetoconductance of such rings and observe the Aharonov-Bohm effect. We investigate different regimes of the magnetic flux up to the quantum Hall regime, where the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations are suppressed. Results for both clean (ballistic) and disordered (diffusive) rings are presented. Second, we study rings with smooth mass boundary that are weakly coupled to leads. We show that the valley degeneracy of the eigenstates in closed graphene rings can be lifted by a small magnetic flux, and that this lifting can be observed in the transport properties of the system.

An ecological study of some of the chironomidae inhabiting a series of saline lakes in central British Columbia with special reference to Chironomus tentans Fabricius
Creators: name: Cannings, Robert Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis is concerned with a study of the Chironomidae occuring in a saline lake series in central British Columbia. It describes the ecological distribution of species, their abundance, phenology and interaction, with particular attention being paid to Chironomus tentans. Emphasis is placed on the species of Chironomus that coexist in these lakes and a further analysis is made of the chromosome inversion frequencies in C. tentans. Of the thirty-four species represented by identifiable adults in the study, eleven species have not been previously reported in British Columbia, five are new records for Canada and seven species are new to science. The chironomid fauna of the lake series is divided into dominant associations whose existence seems to depend on salinity and productivity levels. A Cricotopus albanus -Procladius bellus - Ablabesmyia peleensis association prevails in the lowest salinities (40 to 80 μmho/cm conductivity) while in conductivities between 400 and 2800 μmho/cm a Glyptotendipes barbipes - Einfeldia pagana association dominates. In the most saline lakes (conductivity 4100 to 12000 μmho/cm) a Calopsectra gracilenta - Cryptotendipes ariel association is characteristic. Analysis of physical and chemical factors influencing the life cycle of C. tentans indicates that conditions associated with high levels of organic carbon promote large numbers of larvae and greater emergence success. The results suggest that competition between C. tentans and other Chironomus species is reduced through spatial separation due to different preferences for salinity or related factors. Furthermore, temporal separation among these and other abundant species such as G. barbipes and E. pagana occurs as a result of staggered generation times. The inversion frequency in chromosome 1 of C. tentans is negatively correlated with organic carbon levels and positively correlated with dissolved oxygen and the abundance of Glyptotendipes barbipes. Since the inversion frequency is lowest in habitats where competing species are few and where C. tentans is most successful, it is suggested that the inversion governs a mechanism reducing competition. A major contribution of this work is the revision of the distribution of many of the chironomid species under consideration. In the past, little research has been done on populations of chironomids in a saline lake series. The present study, in attempting to fill this gap in entomological research, shows that a species' life history and population structure can vary radically in closely associated lakes of differing chemical and biological constitution.

description: Let $\mathcal{KC}_g ^k$ be the moduli stack of pairs $(S,C)$ with $S$ a $K3$ surface and $C\subset S$ a genus $g$ curve with divisibility $k$ in $\mathrm{Pic}(S)$. In this article we study the forgetful map $c_g^k:(S,C) \mapsto C$ from $\mathcal{KC}_g ^k$ to $\mathcal{M}_g$ for $k>1$. First we compute by geometric means the dimension of its general fibre. This turns out to be interesting only when $S$ is a complete intersection or a section of a Mukai variety. In the former case we find the existence of interesting Fano varieties extending $C$ in its canonical embedding. In the latter case this is related to delicate modular properties of the Mukai varieties. Next we investigate whether $c_g^k$ dominates the locus in $\mathcal{M}_g$ of $k$-spin curves with the appropriate number of independent sections. We are able to do this only when $S$ is a complete intersection, and obtain in these cases some classification results for spin curves.

description: Graphene layers are stable, hard, and relatively inert. We study how tensile stress affects $σ$ and $π$ bonds and the resulting change in the chemical activity. Stress affects more strongly $π$ bonds that can become chemically active and bind to adsorbed species more strongly. Upon stretch, single C bonds are activated in a geometry mixing $120^{o}$ and $90^{o}$; an intermediate state between $sp^{2}$ and $sp^{3}$ bonding. We use ab-initio density functional theory to study the adsorption of hydrogen on large clusters and 2D periodic models for graphene. The influence of the exchange-correlation functional on the adsorption energy is discussed.

Unfortunately, in French the same word "sécurité" is used to cover two different problematics, what in English is expressed in two different words : safety and security. The interconnected modern information systems, such as rail traffic signalling systems point out the need to deal in an overall way with both safety and security

description: Three new dammarane-type triterpenoids, namely elliptaglin A-C (1–3) were isolated from the stem bark of Aglaia elliptica (C.DC.) Blume along with three known derivatives, namely (20S)-hydroxydammar-24-en-3-on (4), cabralealactone (5), and E-25-hydroperoxydammar-23-en-20-ol-3-one (6). Subsequently, their chemical structures were determined using HR-ESI-MS, FTIR, 1D and 2D-NMR spectroscopic analysis as well as comparison with previous studies. The cytotoxicity activities of the isolated compounds against MCF-7 breast cancer and B16-F10 melanoma cell lines were then tested using PrestoBlue reagent. The analysis results showed that elliptaglin B (2) had the strongest activity against both cell lines with IC50 values of 60.98 and 51.83 µM, respectively.

description: We study the disorder effect of resonant spin Hall effect in a two-dimension electron system with Rashba coupling in the presence of a tilted magnetic field. The competition between the Rashba coupling and the Zeeman coupling leads to the energy crossing of the Landau levels, which gives rise to the resonant spin Hall effect. Utilizing the Streda's formula within the self-consistent Born approximation, we find that the impurity scattering broadens the energy levels, and the resonant spin Hall conductance exhibits a double peak around the resonant point, which is recovered in an applied titled magnetic field.

description: The key features of density-functional theory (DFT) within a minimalistic implementation of quantum electrodynamics are demonstrated, thus allowing to study elementary properties of quantum-electrodynamical density-functional theory (QEDFT). We primarily employ the quantum Rabi model, that describes a two-level system coupled to a single photon mode, and also discuss the Dicke model, where multiple two-level systems couple to the same photon mode. In these settings, the density variables of the system are the polarization and the displacement of the photon field. We give analytical expressions for the constrained-search functional and the exchange-correlation potential and compare to established results from QEDFT. We further derive a form for the adiabatic connection that is almost explicit in the density variables, up to only a non-explicit correlation term that gets bounded both analytically and numerically. This allows several key features of DFT to be studied without approximations.
title: A sensemaking approach to culture and opportunity development
title: a study of Vietnamese immigrant entrepreneurs in the UK

Creators: name: Pham, VietDung
Publisher: name: Lancaster University

description: Recent entrepreneurship research has suggested that opportunity development takes place as entrepreneurs move through the stages of intention formation, opportunity recognition, opportunity evaluation, and opportunity implementation. One major issue with this staged approach is that it is unclear how individuals make sense of such an entrepreneurial opportunity. Using a sensemaking approach (variation-selection-retention or VSR), this thesis develops a theoretical framework aiming to understand the cognitive processing of the transition between entrepreneurial opportunity and entrepreneurial action. Here, entrepreneurial opportunity is further developed once an entrepreneurial action has been realised. The theoretical framework is subsequently employed to analyse the role of home-country culture on decision-making leading to action, which ultimately develops opportunity. Using interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA), this study provides a detailed examination of the lived experience of nine (9) Vietnamese entrepreneurs in the UK. IPA is suitable for answering the research question: How do Vietnamese entrepreneurs develop opportunity through their cultural lens during immigrant entrepreneurship? Four cultural values of Vietnamese neo-Confucianism are identified in the literature review: fragmented, uncritical, suspicion-oriented, and stability-seeking (or FUSS). The findings propose that each cultural value dominantly affects a particular VSR stage driving entrepreneurial action. This research contributes to the literature and practice by (1) confirming action as resembling opportunity development regardless of the stage of the entrepreneurial process (Dimov, 2007), (2) promoting the link between culture and entrepreneurship viewed under the cognition-behaviour perspective (Kerr & Coviello, 2020), and (3) supporting a shift in entrepreneurship research to the context of less accessible and less visible ethnic minority groups such as the Vietnamese community in London (Bagwell, 2018).

description: Problem osób naruszających porządek społeczny istniał od zawsze. Najstarsze plemiona skazywały na wygnanie osoby, które popełniały działania zakazane. Wraz z rozwojem cywilizacji i pojawieniem się kodeksów prawnych ewoluowały również sposoby wymierzania sprawiedliwości. Tortury, publiczne egzekucje i okaleczenia zamieniły się w więzienie, to jest izolację za murami więzienia. Świadomość wysokiego poziomu recydywy spowodowała potrzebę resocjalizacji zatrzymanych, a tym samym ochrony społeczeństwa przed potencjalnymi przestępstwami. Czy jednak współczesne naukowe koncepcje resocjalizacji nie są utopijne? Głównym celem artykułu jest przedstawienie kilku wybranych utopijnych koncepcji więzienia w świetle psychologii i nauk o społecznej readaptacji.

By perturbing about a bond-centered pseudoatom model, we find experimentally that the adatoms are in an anti-bonding state with the atoms directly below. We are also able to experimentally refine a charge transfer of 0.26(4) e- from each adatom site to the underlying layers. These results are compared with a full-potential all-electron density functional DFT calculation.

Некоторые исследователи рассматривают ее, как крючок, при помощи которого застегивался пояс. К этому времени относится серия подвесок, которые имели кольцевую рамку, которая крепилась при помощи тонкой планки к бусине с поперечным отверстием. По-видимому, фигурные пряжки, с одной стороны, были генетически связанны с псалиями (системой соединения с лентой ремня), а с другой, с подвесками ливенцовского типа, элементом которых являлась бусина, жестко соединенной с планкой, на конце которой находилось кольцо подвески. В Лакедемоновском могильнике в одном из погребений на тазовой кости найдена костяная бочонковидная бусина, которая, по-видимому, являлась своеобразной застежкой. Эти находки относятся ко времени распространения бабинских памятников в Приазовье.
description: More than dozen bone figured buckles of Babyno type were found in the Priazovye and in territory of Ukraine. Semi-oval bead without hole is located under the belly on short trims. Some researchers consider it as a hook, by which fastened belt. A series of pendants that had an annular frame, which is attached by a thin trims to the bead with transverse hole, refers to this time. Apparently figured buckles, on the one hand, have been genetically linked to the cheek-pieces (system connections with belt ribbon), and on the other with pendants of Liventsovka type, whose elements are bead fixed to the lath, at the end of which there was a ring of pendants. In Lakedemonovo burial in one of the burials, on the bone of the pelvis, bone bead in the form of a keg was found, which, apparently, is a kind of clasp. These findings relate to the propagation time Babyno sites in Priazovye.
Family mobility and educational planning

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Mobility and increasing urbanization have resulted in a pattern of differential growth rates among school enrollments. This has necessitated that educational planners develop an understanding of family mobility in order to better predict student populations and maximize the use of existing school facilities. In the past, such predictions have not usually incorporated factors which account for changes in the separate components of population. An examination of elementary school enrollments in Vancouver evidenced the need for a more detailed understanding of migration. The present study set out to establish the impact which various migration patterns exerted on elementary enrollments in the Vancouver School District and in three areas within the school district, which illustrated different migration patterns. Secondly, the reasons why families with elementary school children move into and out of specific school areas in the city were analyzed from data collected by means of a questionnaire. A chi-square test was used to establish the significance of differences in the-responses of each group. The migration streams differed significantly in terms of the reasons stated for moving and the factors of importance in the choice of a new home. Significant differences in the latter were mostly reflected in school areas characterized by different migration streams. The study demonstrated that educational planners should be aware of the migration patterns affecting each school area in their district in order that they may calculate, and wherever possible influence the impact of changes in any factors which influence mobility

Экспедиция Государственного Эрмитажа проводила исследования в Салбыкской долине в 1992-1998, 2008 и 2010 годах. Насыпь кургана достигала высоты более 20 метров и первоначально имела форму пирамиды (рис. 1). Под насыпью была расчищена квадратная ограда (71 х 71 м) из вертикально и горизонтально поставленных огромных каменных плит (размером до 5 м; рис. 1-2). В конструкцию больших курганов в Салбыкской долине, наряду с многочисленными функциями (погребальной, социально-политической, религиозной, архитектурной и другими), вероятно, была заложена и сумма астрономических знаний того времени. Установка плит ограды связана с основными моментами восхода/захода Солнца и Луны в астрономически значимые дни. Знаки в виде кругов, полумесяцев и других фигур, расположенные на астрономически важных направлениях, обнаружены на плитах кургана. По новым данным Большой Салбыкский курган датируется VII веком до н.э.
description: The Great Salbyk Barrow is the best known of the megalithic monuments in Siberia. Archaeologist S.V. Kiselev excavated the Salbyk-barrow, the largest barrow in Khakasia in 1954-1956. The expedition of the State Hermitage Museum researched Salbyk valley in 1992-1998, 2008 and 2010. A barrow height is more than 20 m and originally it was pyramid-shaped (Fig. 1). Under the mound was a square “fence” (71 x 71 metres) made of huge stone slabs placed vertically and horizontally and weighting some tonnes (the average size was about 5 metres Fig. 1-2). The construction of big barrows in Salbyk having multiple functions (funeral, socio-political, religious, astronomical, architectural, and others) probably was based on the astronomical knowledge of their time. The installation of the fence slabs is connected with the main moments of the rising and setting of the Moon and Sun on astronomically significant days. Signs in the form of circles, crescents and other figures situated on significant astronomical direction lines were discovered on the barrow''s slabs. On the basis of the new analyses, the Great Salbyk barrow is dated to the 7th century B.C.

description: We compute observables of the critical 3d Ising model to high precision by applying the numerical conformal bootstrap to mixed correlators of the leading scalar operators $σ$ and $ε$, and the stress tensor $T_{μν}$. We obtain new precise determinations of scaling dimensions $(Δ_σ, Δ_ε) = (0.518148806(24), 1.41262528(29))$ as well as OPE coefficients involving $σ$, $ε$, and $T_{μν}$. We also describe several improvements made along the way to algorithms and software tools for the numerical bootstrap.

description: Loss of habitat, eutrophication and reduced grazing intensity are known drivers of landscape-level changes in plant species composition; however, consequences of the massive decline in insect abundance are still to be understood. Pollinator decline can reduce seed set in plants relying on insects for successful reproduction. This may result in a reduced recruitment of insect-pollinated plant species with associated changes in species composition. So far, large-scale studies addressing this issue have relied on few data points—typically consisting of ‘historic’ records of numbers of insect-pollinated plants compared to present-day records. Such comparisons can provide information as to whether the diversity of insect-pollinated plants has changed, but not whether the process is still ongoing. Here, we use nationwide monitoring data of plant species richness in Danish grasslands from the period 2004–2014, covering 244 grassland sites and encompassing more than 790 flowering plant species. We show an ongoing decrease in insect-pollinated, but not wind-pollinated, plant species across different habitat types. In both dry calcareous and Nardus grasslands, loss of insect-pollinated plants was strongest at sites with low grazing intensity. However, insect-pollinated plants also declined from sites with higher grazing intensity, and plants requiring more specialized insect pollination tended to decline most. In addition to changes in plant diversity driven by land-use intensification, loss of pollinators may also play a role in reducing the richness of insect-pollinated plants. Ongoing reduction in floral richness could further increase the threat to insects relying on these plants as a food source.

description: An arid land, known as the Syrian Desert, is covering a large part of the Middle East. This harsh environment is characterized by huge lava fields, the “harraat”. If we observe them from space, we discover that they are crossed by some stone structures, the “desert kites”, which were the Neolithic traps for the game. Several stone circles are visible too, as many Stonehenges dispersed in the desert landscape. Like the famous English site, some of them could have been used as ancient observatories. We can analyze their orientations with sunrise and sunset directions using a freely available software which works on the Google Maps.

description: Excerpts from the Preface: This bibliography contains selected, annotated references to the literature published between 1936 and 1955 on the drainage of land for farming. Subjects included are methods and techniques, equipment, soil science and hydrology as related to drainage problems, needs and effects of drainage, descriptions of specific projects in many different countries, and drainage law and financing of drainage projects in the United States. Drainage for mosquito control and drainage of forests have been included, but references on drainage of land for nonagricultural uses such as roads and airports have been omitted except when techniques described are specifically applicable to agricultural projects. Because of the importance of the ground-water problem in the Western States to drainage questions, references on ground water in this area have been included, even when they do not themselves relate specifically to drainage.

description: In this report the author views the original symbolic images disc-, crescentand half-moon-shaped with one-two ray-like lines, directed to one aside. These pictures have been carved on capes rock tips of the eastern coast of the Onega Lake (61º40′ n.l. & 36º e.l.) together with depictions of waterfowls, elks, ships, men ets., opened 160 years ago. This images had belonged to the population of Pit-Comb Ceramic Culture (the end of the 5-th the middle 3-rd millennium BC). The author analyses indicated figures in a complex manner, taken into consideration the graphical, cultural and chronological, natural and geographical, topographic and astronomical particular features. The main focus of the report is the interrelationship between the orientation function of the figures, peculiarities of their forms and azimuths meaning, calculated on the basis of the directions of rays-like parts of the signs. Total amount of the analyzed symbolic figures is 62. The results of the research is demonstrates the connection of the examined carvings with the azimuths of the moonrises and moonsets in all the visible phases on the days of equinoxes and solstices. Only eight figures can be belonging to solar symbols. Such situation may be connected with the existence of the lunar calendar. Taking into consideration the specific conditions of the Sanctuary location on the Onega Lake, peculiarities of the forms and semantic content symbolic figures, the author hypothesized that one-two radial lines, located on the solar and lunar signs, could depict the Sun and Moon paths on the lake surface and indirectly to indicate Sun and Moon risings and settings azimuths on the water horizon. The main body of the figures reflected form peculiarities of the observable heavenly body. There are the reasons to think that a lunar and a solar signs of a similar type have been the most ancient astrolabes. The majority of them had pointed to the directions to a place of the luminaries rising and setting on the horizon. Some figures marked a mutual position of the Sun and the Moon at the time of rising and setting in the astronomically significant days of year.

description: In the upper river Iset first in the Urals over the past two years was found more than one hundred megalithic objects of natural and anthropogenic origin, which have a classification of not less than five species. Today here archeologically studied seven of the three types. This is menhir, stone of the boulders and completed tunnels. Menhir, or standing stones not less than one meter high are located on the slopes of the not high mountains. The time of their installation and operation is not defined due to lack of finds in them, but the landscape position and orientation of their planes on the sides of light and reveal their astronomical function. Dolmen boulders type in most of them are also located on the slopes is not high hills with different orientation of the entrances. Studied group of buildings have entrances to the longitudinal axis oriented in the direction of north-south, east-west. According to findings of fragments of pottery of the Neolithic, Eneolithic and stylized zoomorphic figures granite stone can be dated, the IV III millennium BC. Tunnel (natural slot cavity, overlapping stone slabs) on the shoreline island «Stone tent» one entrance is oriented to the north and the other to the west. Beside the northern entrance wore found the ceramics of the Neolithic (late fourth millennium BC) until the early Iron Age. Not investigated tunnels are located on the slopes and peaks dominate the landscape of mountains and on a number of signs may have astronomical significance. All of the investigated objects, as well as their own territory of the area about 100x30 km, show clear signs of the archaeoastronomical characteristics that will be discussed in a forthcoming report.
