Is Shortest Always Best? The Role of Brevity in Logic-to-Text Generation

description: Some applications of artificial intelligence make it desirable that logical formulae be converted computationally to comprehensible natural language sentences. As there are many logical equivalents to a given formula, finding the most suitable equivalent to be used as input for such a “logic-to-text” generation system is a difficult challenge. In this paper, we focus on the role of brevity: Are the shortest formulae the most suitable? We focus on propositional logic (PL), framing formula minimization (i.e., the problem of finding the shortest equivalent of a given formula) as a Quantified Boolean Formulae (QBFs) satisfiability problem. We experiment with several generators and selection strategies to prune the resulting candidates. We conduct exhaustive automatic and human evaluations of the comprehensibility and fluency of the generated texts. The results suggest that while, in many cases, minimization has a positive impact on the quality of the sentences generated, formula minimization may ultimately not be the best strategy.

dibattito
questione socialmente viva
itinerario didattico

description: Il presente lavoro di ricerca consiste nell’attuazione di un itinerario didattico incentrato sul tema delle migrazioni, comprendente un dibattito su una questione socialmente viva, con una classe di quarta media. Attraverso la somministrazione di un questionario, prima e dopo l’itinerario, sono raccolti i dati che, una volta analizzati, forniscono le indicazioni necessarie per stabilire l’influenza dell’itinerario didattico sull’educazione alla cittadinanza degli alunni. L’analisi rileva un debole, seppur positivo, effetto sull’educazione alla cittadinanza dei discenti coinvolti. In particolare gli allievi hanno ulteriormente sviluppato la loro curiosità e apertura nei confronti del mondo, così come un maggior supporto al concetto di sostenibilità. La classe si è inoltre dimostrata notevolmente rispettosa nei confronti della diversità. I risultati concernenti la partecipazione alla vita politica sono invece discrepanti. Gli esiti della ricerca indicano quindi che è possibile stimolare positivamente l’educazione alla cittadinanza degli allievi della scuola media ticinese. In futuro, potrebbe essere utile il proseguimento dello studio in questo ambito, in modo da individuare e sviluppare metodi che favoriscano uno sviluppo concreto nel contesto dell’educazione alla cittadinanza.

description: We investigate students' sense of ownership of multiweek final projects in an upper-division optics lab course. Using a multiple case study approach, we describe three student projects in detail. Within-case analyses focused on identifying key issues in each project, and constructing chronological descriptions of those events. Cross-case analysis focused on identifying emergent themes with respect to five dimensions of project ownership: student agency, instructor mentorship, peer collaboration, interest and value, and affective responses. Our within- and cross-case analyses yielded three major findings. First, coupling division of labor with collective brainstorming can help balance student agency, instructor mentorship, and peer collaboration. Second, students' interest in the project and perceptions of its value can increase over time; initial student interest in the project topic is not a necessary condition for student ownership of the project. Third, student ownership is characterized by a wide range of emotions that fluctuate as students alternate between extended periods of struggle and moments of success while working on their projects. These findings not only extend the literature on student ownership into a new educational domain---namely, upper-division physics labs---they also have concrete implications for the design of experimental physics projects in courses for which student ownership is a desired learning outcome. We describe the course and projects in sufficient detail that others can adapt our results to their particular contexts.

Clinical cold stress in calves

Year: 1984

description: Severe weather related stress in young dairy calves is often unrecognized. If the calf is born in a cold, wet environment and is not dried immediately following birth, susceptibility to hypothermia is markedly increased. A negative energy balance (hypothermia) develops as a result of the calf's thin haircoat, heat loss due to evaporation, the small amount of subcutaneous fat and incomplete development of body temperature control mechanisms. Physiological deterioration occurs rapidly under these conditions.

Year: 1984

description: The design of calf hutches which are exposed to environmental temperatures, and provide the animal with semi-isolation, and hence reduction of exposure to infectious diseases, is discussed with illustration of the construction details. Two weeks after weaning calves are put in groups of 8 into a hutch consisting of a 12 × 9 ft semi-portable unit built on skids, with a frame construction, covered with plywood and a shed roof. A restraint unit is also built into the design for processing procedures and safe, efficient handling of the animals. Calves of 4-5 months are transferred to a larger heifer/dry cow facility with natural ventilation and slatted floors. Exhaust air is conducted through an unobstructed open ridge in the 'stack effect'; this system reduces aerosol transmission between pens. Aspects of building design that enhance disease control methods are emphasized.

description: We present near-infrared J and K band imaging of a sample of powerful radio source host galaxies with the Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS2 camera. These sources have been selected on their double lobed radio structure, and include a wide range of projected radio source sizes. The largest projected linear sizes range from the compact Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS, <1 kpc) and Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS, < 20 kpc) radio sources, up to the large-scale (> 20 kpc) classical doubles (FR II radio sources). We investigate the dependence of host galaxy properties (including near-IR surface brightness profiles) on radio source size, using both our own and published data. The absolute magnitudes and surface brightness profiles are consistent with the host galaxies being regular giant elliptical galaxies rather than Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs). We find that the GPS, CSS, and FR II host galaxies are a uniform class of objects, consistent with a scenario in which a powerful radio source evolves along this size sequence.

description: Abstract: "Researchers have begun to study a batch column with simultaneous top and bottom products, sometimes called a middle vessel column. The column is similar to a continuous column in that it has both rectifying and stripping sections. However, instead of a feed tray, the middle vessel column has a tray with a large holdup that acts like the still pot. Meski et al. (1993) showed that this column has several advantages over the rectifying and stripping batch columns including faster processing times and increased separation flexibility. We show that one can identify the feasible product and possible column profile regions for the batch rectifier, stripper and middle vessel columns using methods developed for continuous distillation. Extractive distillation has been used for continuous and rectifying batch columns in separating azeotropic mixtures by feeding an extractive agent, normally a high boiler, near the top of the column. Using insights developed for continuous distillation, we compare extractive distillation using the batch rectifier and middle vessel column and show that these columns can theoretically recover all of the pure distillate product from an azeotropic feed. However, the batch rectifier requires a still pot of infinite size. It is possible to 'steer' the still pot composition in the middle vessel column by adjusting column parameters such as the product and extractive agent flow rates. This steering enables the middle vessel theoretically to recover all of the distillate product without the need for an infinite still pot."

description: An axiom of infectious disease research states that significant numbers of animals with typical clinical disease must be observed to provide data for analysis. The morbidity rate of naturally occurring bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in feedlot cattle is frequently great enough to provide adequate data. In 2 successive years, the low incidence of respiratory disease in feedlot cattle at the Veterinary Medical Research Farm precluded analysis of the data. An alternative to the chance occurrence of spontaneous disease was experimental induction of BRD. Of the etiological trial of BRD, stress, virus and bacteria, a virus component appeared to provide the most potential for a controllable system. Exposure of cattle to pasteurella has given unpredictable results. A BRD inducing level of stress would be very difficut to simulate in large numbers of cattle. Aerosol exposure of calves to bovine herpesvirus-1 and 4 days later to Pasteurella hemolytica has been reported to consistently produce fibrinous pneumonia. The relationship of this experimentally induced disease to “shipping fever” is not clearly understood.1 Although this model is useful for experiments designed with small numbers of calves, it did not fit the needs for a larger scale controlled clinical trial. Therefore, we elected to expose newly arrived cattle to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBRV) in an attempt to initiate BRD. This report presents the results of trials, conducted on each of 4 consecutive years.

description: We used high-resolution quasielastic neutron scattering spectroscopy to study the single-particle dynamics of water molecules on the surface of hydrated DNA samples. Both H2O and D2O hydrated samples were measured. The contribution of scattering from DNA is subtracted out by taking the difference of the signals between the two samples. The measurement was made at a series of temperatures from 270 K down to 185 K. The Relaxing-Cage Model was used to analyze the quasielastic spectra. This allowed us to extract a Q-independent average translational relaxation time of water molecules as a function of temperature. We observe clear evidence of a fragile-to-strong dynamic crossover (FSC) at TL = 222+-2 K by plotting log of average translational relaxation time vs. T. The coincidence of the dynamic transition temperature Tc of DNA, signaling the onset of anharmonic molecular motion, and the FSC temperature TL of the hydration water suggests that the change of mobility of the hydration water molecules across TL drives the dynamic transition in DNA.

description: The design requirements to achieve a good environment for healthy animals are described. Mechanically ventilated livestock buildings are usually insulated, with a constant maintained temperature of about 40 °F or above, extra heat being applied as necessary; naturally ventilated buildings depend on air movements, have no insulation, and inside temperatures approximate to outside temperatures. The fresh air inlet and exhaust systems are discussed in detail for mechanical ventilation; types of fans are described and rating tables illustrate their performance. Rules for the location of fans and the design of the fresh air intake system are emphasized and the influence of seasonal factors is discussed. The location of naturally ventilated buildings should be at least 50 ft away from other structures; ridge and wall openings are discussed in terms of dimensions; the roof underside should be steep and smooth and of proper construction.

The maximum beam pulse power is up to 1300 kW. During the stepwise linac commissioning from April to Septem-ber 1999 the beam behind of each cavity was analysed within two weeks. A very stable Ar1+ beam out of a vol-ume plasma source MUCIS was used mainly. The meas-ured norm. 80 % emittance areas around 0.45 pi mm mrad are close to the results from beam simulations. Up to 80 % of the design intensity at the linac exit were achieved. In February 2000 an U4+ beam from the MEVVA source was accelerated for the first time.

description: We consider the production of $J/ψ$ and $ψ(2S)$ mesons originating from the decays of $b$-flavored hadrons at the LHC using the $k_T$-factorization approach. Our analysis covers both inclusive charmonia production and production of $J/ψ$ mesons in association with $Z$ bosons. We apply the transverse momentum dependent (or unintegrated) gluon density in a proton derived from Catani-Ciafaloni-Fiorani-Marchesini (CCFM) evolution equation and adopt fragmentation functions based on the non-relativistic QCD factorization to describe the inclusive $b$-hadron decays into the different charmonium states. Our predictions agree well with latest experimental data taken by the CMS, ATLAS and LHCb Collaborations at $\sqrt s = 7$, $8$ and $13$~TeV. The contributions from double parton scattering to the associated non-prompt $J/ψ+ Z$ production are estimated and found to be small.

description: While entanglement plays an important role in characterizing quantum many-body systems, it is hardly possible to directly access many-body entanglement in real experiments. In this paper, we study how bipartite entanglement of many-body states is manifested in the correlation of local measurement outcomes. In particular, we consider a measure of correlation defined as the statistical distance between the joint probability distribution of local measurement outcomes and the product of its marginal distributions. Various bounds of this measure are obtained and several examples of many-body states are considered as a testbed for the measure. We also generalize the framework to the case of imprecise measurement and argue that the considered measure is related to the concept of quantum macroscopicity.

description: In this paper, the problem of road friction prediction from a fleet of connected vehicles is investigated. A framework is proposed to predict the road friction level using both historical friction data from the connected cars and data from weather stations, and comparative results from different methods are presented. The problem is formulated as a classification task where the available data is used to train three machine learning models including logistic regression, support vector machine, and neural networks to predict the friction class (slippery or non-slippery) in the future for specific road segments. In addition to the friction values, which are measured by moving vehicles, additional parameters such as humidity, temperature, and rainfall are used to obtain a set of descriptive feature vectors as input to the classification methods. The proposed prediction models are evaluated for different prediction horizons (0 to 120 minutes in the future) where the evaluation shows that the neural networks method leads to more stable results in different conditions.

description: Abstract: "Input Variable Expansion, IVE, is a new domain independent formal methodology for creating innovative designs. These designs arebased on a known design which is cast as an optimization problem described by its first principle equations. IVE performs design space expansion by replicating the topology of the initial design, assigning independent properties to each region and distributing a selected input to the newly created regions. Optimization information is employed in the selection of the distributed input. The resulting design is optimized, using symbolic optimization techniques when possible. In more complex and industrially relevant problems where symbolic methods are more difficult, numerical methods are used to optimize the resulting designs.Trends over generations of designs are observed and the limiting designs are induced. The innovated designs may exhibit either an improved objective or a feasible design space replacing an infeasible one. IVE is a complemenatry [sic] expansion technique to Dimensional VariableExpansion, DVE, developed by Cagan and Agogino (1991a). Together, IVE and DVE initiate a library of design space expansion techniques which, in some cases, eliminate the need for prepostulated super-structures for finding the optimal solution. IVE is demonstrated in applications to the innovative designs of a catalyst bed, a set of columns under axial load and a chemical reactor network."

description: This study explores the relationship between right-wing extremism, and of particular note, White Nationalist/REMVE extremists, and support for political violence. While those who subscribe to these beliefs represent a minority of people in the United States. Fewer still actually engage in violence, despite subscribing to a shared and often violent worldview and belief system. However, there is often an assumption among both the public and scholars that extremism is a ‘conveyer belt’ that ultimately ends as engagement in violence. This may be, at least in part, due to the fact that studying support for and engagement in political violence is especially challenging due to the low base rate of violent events. In this study, I first test the relationship between ideological placement and support for political violence using American National Election Survey (ANES) and World Values Survey (WVS) data, which finds that extreme ideological placement does not predict support for political violence. I then utilized a novel dataset of 107 White Nationalist/REMVE Group Manifestos, which I utilized in two separate studies, to provide insight into the nature or organized extremism and support for violence in their public-facing content. In the dataset, I have also compiled group-related violence, and first, test the relationship between group types and intent and its connection with real-world violence, in addition to applying the Grievance Dictionary across the manifestos to search for trends across texts, as well as connections between language groups and real-world violence. Finally, I conduct a reflexive thematic analysis of the 107 manifesto texts, with both a priori themes and emerging themes, providing both an inductive and deductive approach to the content. This deep dive into the texts helps provide context to the findings in the other stories, as well as providing a descriptive analysis of extremism at the group level, which is severely lacking in the literature today.

description: In this article an energy correction is calculated in the time independent perturbation setup using a regularised ultraviolet finite Hamiltonian on the noncommutative Minkowski space. The correction to the energy is invariant under rotation and translation but is not Lorentz covariant and this leads to a distortion of the dispersion relation. In the limit where the noncommutativity vanishes the common quantum field theory on the commutative Minkowski space is reobtained.

description: At low temperatures proteins exist in a glassy state, a state which has no conformational flexibility and shows no biological functions. In a hydrated protein, at and above 220 K, this flexibility is restored and the protein is able to sample more conformational sub-states, thus becomes biologically functional. This 'dynamical' transition of protein is believed to be triggered by its strong coupling with the hydration water, which also shows a similar dynamic transition. Here we demonstrate experimentally that this sudden switch in dynamic behavior of the hydration water on lysozyme occurs precisely at 220 K and can be described as a Fragile-to-Strong dynamic crossover (FSC). At FSC, the structure of hydration water makes a transition from predominantly high-density (more fluid state) to low-density (less fluid state) forms derived from existence of the second critical point at an elevated pressure.

description: Questo lavoro di diploma s’interroga sull’utilizzo delle strategie d’apprendimento nell’insegnamento delle L2 nella scuola media e sulla loro efficacia. In particolar modo il mio lavoro è incentrato sulle strategie per la comprensione orale in un percorso plurilingue. Attraverso un percorso didattico appositamente strutturato, sono state introdotte e sviluppate le strategie che possono aiutare i discenti ad una migliore comprensione orale. Tramite la raccolta dati, effettuata attraverso un questionario d’entrata per gli allievi, con una tipologia di domande aperte, l’osservazione di ogni singolo allievo effettuata dalle docenti di L2 e sintetizzata in un questionario finale, ed un questionario finale per gli allievi, si è potuto notare come l’utilizzo delle strategie hanno portato un beneficio nella maggior parte degli allievi per quel che riguarda l’approccio e l’atteggiamento più positivo riguardo l’attività d’ascolto, aumentando la loro capacità di concentrazione e la motivazione. Si è notato pure come il transfer di queste strategie nelle altre lingue straniere sia stato prevalentemente consapevole. L’allievo è stato guidato attraverso questo progetto verso una maggiore consapevolezza e una propria autonomia insegnandogli ad utilizzare al meglio le strategie che gli possono essere utili per un apprendimento più efficace. L’applicazione di questo itinerario non ha invece prodotto un aumento significativo della qualità delle prestazioni dei discenti. Relatore: Gé Stoks. Materia: francese

Tractability arises because the model is largely structureless by design and therefore artificial: while the interaction is restricted to two-body terms, interaction matrix elements are "randomized" and therefore the corresponding interaction operator does not commute with the local density. Unlike conventional density-density-type interactions, the SYK-interaction is, in this sense, not integrable. We here investigate a variant of the (complex) SYK model, which restores this integrability. It features a randomized single-body term and a density-density-type interaction. We present numerical investigations suggesting that the model exhibits two integrable phases separated by several intermediate phases including a chaotic one. The chaotic phase carries several characteristic SYK-signatures including in the spectral statistics and the frequency scaling of the Green's function and therefore should be adiabatically connected to the non-Fermi liquid phase of the original SYK model. Thus, our model Hamiltonian provides a bridge from the SYK-model towards microscopic realism. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

description: Abstract: "Anticipating the impact of scheduling at the design stage can result in significant savings in the capital cost of multiproduct batch plants. In this paper this idea is applied to multiproduct batch plants with one unit per processing stage. Efficient scheduling models are developed for minimization of cycle time for Unlimited Intermediate Storage and Zero Wait policies in mixed product campaigns. Based on these models, it is shown that simplified constraints that account for these scheduling policies can be incorporated in the optimal design problem. Numerical examples are presented for both scheduling and design problems."
A mathematical framework for predicting lifestyles of viral pathogens

description: Despite being similar in structure, functioning, and size viral pathogens enjoy very different mostly well-defined ways of life. They occupy their hosts for a few days (influenza), for a few weeks (measles), or even lifelong (HCV), which manifests in acute or chronic infections. The various transmission routes (airborne, via direct contact, etc.), degrees of infectiousness (referring to the load required for transmission), antigenic variation/immune escape and virulence define further pathogenic lifestyles. To survive pathogens must infect new hosts; the success determines their fitness. Infection happens with a certain likelihood during contact of hosts, where contact can also be mediated by vectors. Besides structural aspects of the host-contact network, three parameters/concepts appear to be key: the contact rate and the infectiousness during contact, which encode the mode of transmission, and third the immunity of susceptible hosts. From here, what can be concluded about the evolutionary strategies of viral pathogens? This is the biological question addressed in this paper. The answer extends earlier results (Lange & Ferguson 2009, PLoS Comput Biol 5 (10): e1000536) and makes explicit connection to another basic work on the evolution of pathogens (Grenfell et al. 2004, Science 303: 327-332). A mathematical framework is presented that models intra- and inter-host dynamics in a minimalistic but unified fashion covering a broad spectrum of viral pathogens, including those that cause flu-like infections, childhood diseases, and sexually transmitted infections. These pathogens turn out as local maxima of the fitness landscape. The models involve differential- and integral equations, agent-based simulation, networks, and probability.

description: We introduce a performance-optimized method to simulate localization problems on bipartite tight-binding lattices. It combines an exact renormalization group step to reduce the sparseness of the original problem with the recursive Green's function method. We apply this framework to investigate the critical behavior of the integer quantum Hall transition of a tight-binding Hamiltonian defined on a simple square lattice. In addition, we employ an improved scaling analysis that includes two irrelevant exponents to characterize the shift of the critical energy as well as the corrections to the dimensionless Lyapunov exponent. We compare our findings with the results of a conventional implementation of the recursive Green's function method, and we put them into broader perspective in view of recent development in this field.

On Galaxy-Cluster Sizes and Temperatures

description: We show that the distribution of the sizes and temperatures of clusters can be used to constrain cosmological models. The size-temperature (ST) distribution predicted in a flat Gaussian cluster-abundance-normalized Omega_0=0.3 model agrees well with the fairly tight ST relation observed. A larger power-spectrum amplitude sigma_8 would give rise to a larger scatter about the ST relation as would a larger value of Omega_0 and/or long non-Gaussian high-density tails in the probability density function. For Gaussian initial conditions, the ST distribution suggests a constraint sigma_8 Omega_0^{0.26} \simeq 0.76. The ST relation is expected to get tighter at high redshifts. In the process, we derive a simple formula for the halo formation-redshift distribution for non-Gaussian models. We also suggest that the discrepancy between the naive zero-redshift ST relation and that observed may be due, at least in part, to the fact that lower-mass clusters form over a wider range of redshifts. An Appendix derives an equation for the formation-redshift distribution of halos.

description: Abstract: Background: Although age, obesity and pre-existing chronic diseases are established risk factors for COVID-19 outcomes, their interactions have not been well researched. Methods: We used data from the Clinical Characterisation Protocol UK (CCP-UK) for Severe Emerging Infection developed by the International Severe Acute Respiratory and emerging Infections Consortium (ISARIC). Patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 from 6th February to 12th October 2020 were included where there was a coded outcome following hospital admission. Obesity was determined by an assessment from a clinician and chronic disease by medical records. Chronic diseases included: chronic cardiac disease, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, chronic pulmonary disease, diabetes and cancer. Mutually exclusive categories of obesity, with or without chronic disease, were created. Associations with in-hospital mortality were examined across sex and age categories. Results: The analysis included 27,624 women with 6407 (23.2%) in-hospital deaths and 35,065 men with 10,001 (28.5%) in-hospital deaths. The prevalence of chronic disease in women and men was 66.3 and 68.5%, respectively, while that of obesity was 12.9 and 11.1%, respectively. Association of obesity and chronic disease status varied by age (p < 0.001). Under 50 years of age, obesity and chronic disease were associated with in-hospital mortality within 28 days of admission in a dose-response manner, such that patients with both obesity and chronic disease had the highest risk with a hazard ratio (HR) of in-hospital mortality of 2.99 (95% CI: 2.12, 4.21) in men and 2.16 (1.42, 3.26) in women compared to patients without obesity or chronic disease. Between the ages of 50–69 years, obesity and chronic disease remained associated with in-hospital COVID-19 mortality, but survival in those with obesity was similar to those with and without prevalent chronic disease. Beyond the age of 70 years in men and 80 years in women there was no meaningful difference between those with and without obesity and/or chronic disease. Conclusion: Obesity and chronic disease are important risk factors for in-hospital mortality in younger age groups, with the combination of chronic disease and obesity being particularly important in those under 50 years of age. These findings have implications for targeted public health interventions, vaccination strategies and in-hospital clinical decision making.

description: Decomposition is a common tool for synthesis of many physical systems. It is also used for analyzing large scale systems which then known as tearing and reconstruction. On the other hand, commutativity of cascade connected systems have gained a grade deal of interest and its possible benefits have been pointed out on the literature. In this paper, the necessary and sufficient conditions for decomposition of any third order linear time-varying system as a commutative pair of first and second order systems of which parameters are also explicitly expressed, are investigated. Further, additional requirements in case of non-zero initial conditions are derived. This paper highlights the direct formulas for realization of any third order linear time-varying system as a series (cascade) connection of first and second order subsystems. This series connection is commutative so that it is independent from the sequence of subsystems in the connection. Hence, the convenient sequence can be decided by considering the overall performance of the system when the sensitivity, disturbance and robustness effects are considered. Realization covers transient responses as well as steady state responses.

Local electron heating in nanoscale conductors

description: The electron current density in nanoscale junctions is typically several orders of magnitude larger than the corresponding one in bulk electrodes. Consequently, the electron-electron scattering rate increases substantially in the junction. This leads to local electron heating of the underlying Fermi sea in analogy to the local ionic heating that is due to the increased electron-phonon scattering rates. We predict the bias dependence of local electron heating in quasi-ballistic nanoscale conductors, its effect on ionic heating, and discuss possible experimental tests of our results.
