description: We propose a new data-driven method to select the optimal number of relevant components in Principal Component Analysis (PCA). This new method applies to correlation matrices whose time autocorrelation function decays more slowly than an exponential, giving rise to long memory effects. In comparison with other available methods present in the literature, our procedure does not rely on subjective evaluations and is computationally inexpensive. The underlying basic idea is to use a suitable factor model to analyse the residual memory after sequentially removing more and more components, and stopping the process when the maximum amount of memory has been accounted for by the retained components. We validate our methodology on both synthetic and real financial data, and find in all cases a clear and computationally superior answer entirely compatible with available heuristic criteria, such as cumulative variance and cross-validation.

Well-Founded Semantics for Extended Logic Programs with Dynamic Preferences
Creators: name: Brewka, G.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The paper describes an extension of well-founded semantics for logic programs with two types of negation. In this extension information about preferences between rules can be expressed in the logical language and derived dynamically. This is achieved by using a reserved predicate symbol and a naming technique. Conflicts among rules are resolved whenever possible on the basis of derived preference information. The well-founded conclusions of prioritized logic programs can be computed in polynomial time. A legal reasoning example illustrates the usefulness of the approach.

Marginal deformations and defect anomalies

description: We deform a defect conformal field theory by an exactly marginal bulk operator and we consider the dependence on the marginal coupling of flat and spherical defect expectation values. For even dimensional spherical defects we find a logarithmic divergence which can be related to a $a$-type defect anomaly coefficient. This coefficient, for defect theories, is not invariant on the conformal manifold and its dependence on the coupling is controlled to all orders by the one-point function of the associated exactly marginal operator. For odd-dimensional defects, the flat and spherical case exhibit different qualitative behaviors, generalizing to arbitrary dimensions the line-circle anomaly of superconformal Wilson loops. Our results also imply a non-trivial coupling dependence for the recently proposed defect $C$-function. We finally apply our general result to a few specific examples, including superconformal Wilson loops and Rényi entropy.

description: Abstract: The obesity issue has international relevance in recent years and the study aim is to develop a hybrid classification model to identify the causes of obesity in the region of Turkey. In the period from March to November 2019, patient records retrieved from the database of Electronic Health Records (EHR) of Aksaray Sultanhani Family Health Center (ASFHC) were examined, and the questionnaire was conducted among the females aged 18 years and above. In the study, a two-stage hybrid model was used in order to better classify the collected data. The first-stage is the feature (i.e. best variable) selection while the second-stage is for classification. The performance of a proposed two-stage hybrid approach was compared with traditional single-stage classifiers: Decision Trees (DT) and Logistic Regression (LR) algorithms. In the study, the proposed hybrid system gives 91.4 of accuracy, which is better than other classifiers (i.e. 4.6 % higher than the performance of LR and 2.3 % higher than the performance of DT). Thus, the proposed hybrid system provides a more accurate classification of patients with obesity and a practical approach to estimating the factors affecting obesity.
In the future, we are going to research in detail the relationship between Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and obesity in females.

description: Future miniaturization and mobilization of computing devices requires energy parsimonious `adiabatic' computation. This is contingent on logical reversibility of computation. An example is the idea of quantum computations which are reversible except for the irreversible observation steps. We propose to study quantitatively the exchange of computational resources like time and space for irreversibility in computations. Reversible simulations of irreversible computations are memory intensive. Such (polynomial time) simulations are analysed here in terms of `reversible' pebble games. We show that Bennett's pebbling strategy uses least additional space for the greatest number of simulated steps. We derive a trade-off for storage space versus irreversible erasure. Next we consider reversible computation itself. An alternative proof is provided for the precise expression of the ultimate irreversibility cost of an otherwise reversible computation without restrictions on time and space use. A time-irreversibility trade-off hierarchy in the exponential time region is exhibited. Finally, extreme time-irreversibility trade-offs for reversible computations in the thoroughly unrealistic range of computable versus noncomputable time-bounds are given.

Lemma 2.3 should be replaced by the slightly better ``There is a winning strategy with $n+2$ pebbles and $m-1$ erasures for pebble games $G$ with $T_G= m2^n$, for all $m \geq 1$'' with appropriate further changes (as pointed out by Wim van Dam).

description: Mediation analysis is widely used to identify significant mediators and estimate the mediation (direct and indirect) effects in causal pathways between an exposure variable and a response variable. In mediation analysis, the mediation effect refers to the effect transmitted by mediator intervening the relationship between an exposure variable and a response variable. Traditional mediation analysis methods, such as the difference in the coefficient method, the product of the coefficient method, and counterfactual framework method, all require several key assumptions. Thus, the estimation of mediation effects can be biased when one or more assumptions are violated. In addition to the traditional mediation analysis methods, Yu et al. proposed a general mediation analysis method that can use general predictive models to estimate mediation effects of any types of exposure variable(s), mediators and outcome(s). However, whether this method relies on the assumptions for the traditional mediation analysis methods is unknown. In this paper, we perform series of simulation studies to investigate the impact of violation of assumptions on the estimation of mediation effects using Yu et al.’s mediation analysis method. We use the R package mma for all estimations. We find that three assumptions for traditional mediation analysis methods are also essential for Yu et al.’s method. This paper provides a pipeline for using simulations to evaluate the impact of the assumptions for the general mediation analysis.

Integrating Text Plans for Conciseness and Coherence
Creators: name: Harvey, Terrence

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Our experience with a critiquing system shows that when the system detects problems with the user's performance, multiple critiques are often produced. Analysis of a corpus of actual critiques revealed that even though each individual critique is concise and coherent, the set of critiques as a whole may exhibit several problems that detract from conciseness and coherence, and consequently assimilation. Thus a text planner was needed that could integrate the text plans for individual communicative goals to produce an overall text plan representing a concise, coherent message. This paper presents our general rule-based system for accomplishing this task. The system takes as input a \emph{set} of individual text plans represented as RST-style trees, and produces a smaller set of more complex trees representing integrated messages that still achieve the multiple communicative goals of the individual text plans. Domain-independent rules are used to capture strategies across domains, while the facility for addition of domain-dependent rules enables the system to be tuned to the requirements of a particular domain. The system has been tested on a corpus of critiques in the domain of trauma care.

description: A feedback neural network approach to communication routing problems is developed with emphasis on Multiple Shortest Path problems, with several requests for transmissions between distinct start- and endnodes. The basic ingredients are a set of Potts neurons for each request, with interactions designed to minimize path lengths and to prevent overloading of network arcs. The topological nature of the problem is conveniently handled using a propagator matrix approach. Although the constraints are global, the algorithmic steps are based entirely on local information, facilitating distributed implementations. In the polynomially solvable single-request case the approach reduces to a fuzzy version of the Bellman-Ford algorithm. The approach is evaluated for synthetic problems of varying sizes and load levels, by comparing with exact solutions from a branch-and-bound method. With very few exceptions, the Potts approach gives legal solutions of very high quality. The computational demand scales merely as the product of the numbers of requests, nodes, and arcs.

description: Over the past two decades research has studied the “dark side of leadership” under the research stream of destructive leadership, variously described as abusive, aversive, derailing, toxic, and tyrannical leadership. While there has been significant research into the consequences of destructive leadership, there has been limited investigation of its antecedents. It has been proposed by a number of researchers, investigating a leader trait approach to leadership, that “dark side” traits (socially undesirable traits that can have negative implications for work success and the well-being of employees) exhibit a curvilinear relationship with key outcomes (e.g., leader and follower performance, follower engagement, and follower well-being): that is, there exist negative consequences for extremely low or high “bright side” personality traits (behavioural traits leaders seem to exhibit when they are performing at their best) and positive consequences for moderate dark side personality traits. Extreme levels of some bright side (e.g., independence, assertiveness, charisma) and dark side (e.g., ego-centred, intimidating, manipulative) traits have been identified as antecedents to exhibiting destructive leadership behaviours. Sustained demonstration of destructive leadership behaviours are associated with harmful outcomes that lead to serious problems for employees in the workplace. Yet there is scarce research into the coping strategies followers employ to cope with destructive leadership.

description: In 1962, engineer Douglas Engelbart proposed overlapping the creative mind with artificial intelligence to create designs which could not be created by either entity alone (Engelbart 1962). Today Machine Learning (ML) has entered the public consciousness emerging as an important tool in many industries. Architects should understand these tools to be able to create new and innovative design ideas to meet complex design criteria. According to Hebron (2016) traditional design algorithms rely on the information programmed into the design software combined with a specific user input/workflow. These systems allow the computer program’s behavior to be defined as a finite set of rules that will behave in a predictable manner and thus conform to the programmer’s or user’s intentions. In comparison ML can detect patterns inside observed workflow data and provide mechanisms for imparting experiential knowledge upon computer systems. In the specific case of parametric design, rules are established by the user by defining a sequential step-by-step instruction set of geometrical operation tasks upon a set of input data. However, establishing these rules can be a time consuming and complex task. ML can help create those specific rules, if the user can define and provide the necessary input-date and desired output-data. This could lead to faster simulation and optimization methods, as well as the discovery of new parametric design rules. This paper aims to break down basic ML concepts and proposes how they could be implemented in the architectural digital design process. The focus will be put on supervised machine learning as a tool in aiding and complementing parametric design tasks. A prototype project will be showcased. The foremost aim of this paper is to lay out the hypotheses of how ML could be further implemented inside the digital design process. Further, an overview will be given of basic ML and parametric design principles, as well as demonstrating the need for architects and designers to implement ML in their design workflow.

description: Thirty-one tall buildings (i.e., buildings of or taller than 200 m) have been erected to date in Chicago; 51% accounting for office function, according to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH). Their energy- efficiency and healthy environment have become important concerns, given the current environmental challenges and health considerations. Many strategies in improving the properties of windows and building systems have been adopted to save energy and improve the working environment in tall office buildings in Chicago. However, only a few passive design techniques for natural ventilation have been employed. Double-skin façade (DSF) systems can provide an opportunity to apply natural ventilation strategies to tall office buildings, as they can mitigate the high wind speed and pressure through the additional skin and regulate the vertical stack flows through the segmentation. This study will investigate the feasibility of natural ventilation in Chicago’s tall office buildings using DSFs. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations will be conducted to assess the performance of parametric DSF configurations, including opening size and location, cavity depth, and cavity segmentation based on indoor air velocity, indoor operative temperature, and air change rate calculated under specific climatic conditions in the simulations. These results, as related to thermal comfort and indoor airflow behavior, are important criteria for the ventilation requirements established in the ASHRAE standard. Wind tunnel tests will be conducted to validate the CFD simulation results. The DSF configuration is a key determinant of the distributions of air velocity and indoor temperature on each floor, and the proportion of driving forces between wind and stack effects. In order to assess the feasibility of natural ventilation in tall office buildings, which rely highly on mechanical ventilation, the maximum number of natural ventilation hours throughout the year in Chicago will be predicted based on the analysis of the simulation results and the weather data. The proper DSF configurations with quantified natural ventilation will lead to a better understanding of how DSFs should be designed for tall office buildings and provide a performance-based design guideline for the early design stage in which iterative and rapid design decisions are made.

description: This paper explores a process for digitally designing doubly curved geometry out of flat textiles. The development of computational modeling techniques, such as NURBS and sub-division modeling, has made it easier to create complex curvature in the computer. Yet fabrication methods and materials are still catching up on the ways to fabricate these types of complex geometries, particularly when working with woven textiles that have little or no stretch. These doubly curved surfaces are typically achieved by complex panelization patterns that can closely approximate the curvature. For this research, complex panelization is exchanged for more simplified patterns and articulate sewing techniques as a new way to create curvature. Inspiration for working with shaping textiles is drawn from the traditional craft of dressmaking, in which two-dimensional fabrics are cut and sewn in different ways to fit around the curvature of the human body. These techniques from dressmaking also allow for other decorative qualities to emerge from the fabric manipulations. The project uses computational modeling software from the fashion industry for its integration of these sewing techniques into a three-dimensional digital design environment and seamlessly output patterns for production. This project explores the possible use of these programs and workflow for architectural pneumatics design. The results are compared to the computer designs to better understand the deviation between the digital and physical models. Three prototypes are created, that each explore different techniques as a test set. They use various manipulations of the techniques to study their possible advantages to create shaping. The goal is to adapt the techniques and computational tools from the discipline of dressmaking, developing a new workflow to designing complex curvature on architectural pneumatic membranes.

description: Traditional databases commonly support efficient query and update procedures that operate in time which is sublinear in the size of the database. Our goal in this paper is to take a first step toward dynamic reasoning in probabilistic databases with comparable efficiency. We propose a dynamic data structure that supports efficient algorithms for updating and querying singly connected Bayesian networks. In the conventional algorithm, new evidence is absorbed in O(1) time and queries are processed in time O(N), where N is the size of the network. We propose an algorithm which, after a preprocessing phase, allows us to answer queries in time O(log N) at the expense of O(log N) time per evidence absorption. The usefulness of sub-linear processing time manifests itself in applications requiring (near) real-time response over large probabilistic databases. We briefly discuss a potential application of dynamic probabilistic reasoning in computational biology.

description: What is mucopolysaccharidosis type I?
Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (also called MPS I) is a rare genetic condition that affects most parts of the body. MPS I develops when both parents pass a nonworking copy of the IDUA gene onto their child. This gene carries the information needed for cells to make the alpha-L-iduronidase enzyme, which breaks down complex sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (shortened to GAGs) inside cells. Individuals with MPS I do not produce a working (fully functional) version of the enzyme or might not produce any of it at all. Therefore, GAGs build up in their cells and bodies, which can lead to organ damage. Symptoms of MPS I include an enlarged liver and spleen, abnormal bone development, and specific facial characteristics. It is important to diagnose and treat MPS I as early in life as possible to prevent irreversible organ damage. There are two ways that individuals with MPS I can be treated, depending on how severe their disease is. Individuals with less severe, or ‘attenuated’, MPS I (Hurler-Scheie or Scheie syndrome) typically receive enzyme replacement therapy (shortened to ERT). This replaces the non-functional or missing enzyme. Those with severe MPS I (Hurler syndrome) typically undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (also called HSCT), and ERT may also be used until the transplanted cells start making the enzyme. In HSCT, individuals receive stem cells from healthy donors so that their body can make the life-sustaining enzyme. This study looked at the age when individuals were diagnosed with attenuated or severe MPS I between 2003 and 2017, and the time taken for them to start treatment with ERT or HSCT following their diagnosis, using data from the MPS I Registry.

What were the results?
The age when individuals received a diagnosis of attenuated or severe MPS I did not change during the study period. The time taken from being diagnosed with attenuated MPS I to starting ERT decreased over time. The time taken from being diagnosed with severe MPS I to receiving HSCT was very short for the entire study period.

What do the results of the study mean?
These findings suggest that improvements in MPS I awareness and diagnosis are still needed.

The holotype is deposited in NMPC (general collection):
HOLOTYPE (J): ‘ AZERBAIDJAN 10.6.1979 / BEŽ-BARMA / V. ŠVIHLA leg. [hw] // Holo- / typus [p, red label] // Dasytidius / svihlai sp.n. [hw] K. Majer det. [p] 1987 / HOLOTYPUS [hw] // Dasytidius J / nigripes (Pic) / K. Majer det. 1993 [p]’.
 Current status. Junior subjective synonym of Dasytidius nigripes (Pic, 1894), see MAJER (1996a).
 Remark. MAJER (1991b) stated in the original description that the holotype of D. svihlai was deposited in NMPC. However, in fact, it stayed in Majer’s private collection and was sold to Naturhistorisches Museum Wien (NHMW) in 1995 (see JÄCH 1995). The holotype was returned to NMPC in 2012 by the courtesy of NHMW employees.

description: A new language model for speech recognition inspired by linguistic analysis is presented. The model develops hidden hierarchical structure incrementally and uses it to extract meaningful information from the word history - thus enabling the use of extended distance dependencies - in an attempt to complement the locality of currently used n-gram Markov models. The model, its probabilistic parametrization, a reestimation algorithm for the model parameters and a set of experiments meant to evaluate its potential for speech recognition are presented.

description: We construct a viable 3-3-1 model with two $SU(3)_L$ scalar triplets, extended fermion and scalar spectrum, based on the $T^{\prime}$ family symmetry and other auxiliary cyclic symmetries, whose spontaneous breaking yields the observed pattern of SM fermion mass spectrum and fermionic mixing parameters. In our model the SM quarks lighter than the top quark, get their masses from a low scale Universal seesaw mechanism, the SM charged lepton masses are produced by a Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism and the small light active neutrino masses are generated from an inverse seesaw mechanism. The model is consistent with the low energy SM fermion flavor data and successfully accommodates the current Higgs diphoton decay rate and predicts charged lepton flavor violating decays within the reach of the forthcoming experiments.

description: This paper investigates the divergent and conflicting effect of both ornament and its shadow on traditional architectural solidity. Classical ornament is well-known to support the constructive idea of an edifice. Its main elements and patterns, from the column to the entablature, have throughout the centuries conveyed the idea of its constructive system. Treatises, beginning with Vitruvius’ De Architectura, codified its proportions and disposition on key places of the façade in order to appraise, at first glance, the architectural solidity. Whatever may be the style—Doric, Ionic or Corinthian—whatever may be the purpose—church or palace—the mouldings and sculptures are deployed in an overall decorative system which should be in adequacy with the constructive idea. Yet, as architects systematized sculptural ornaments, they could not but face an inherent difficulty induced by the relief itself: its own cast shadow. If sculptural ornament is supposed to reveal tectonics and solidity, its shadow may have the power to affect the latter. How is it that a mere shadow, ever-changing and moving on the façade, could endanger the solidity of a building and the mass and weight of the stones? Based on architecture treatises, this paper will focus on a critical gap between two stances. First, we shall observe how Vitruvius and Alberti linked solidity with ornaments and their shadows, and if it was even of importance for them. A second step shall bring us a few centuries later in the French eighteenth century, when architecture borrowed from painting theories the question of aesthetic shadow. Beforehand, definitions of the three terms used—solidity, ornament, and shadow—may be useful to capture how shadows put at risk architectural solidity.

description: Mediation analysis is widely used to identify significant mediators and estimate the mediation (direct and indirect) effects in causal pathways between an exposure variable and a response variable. In mediation analysis, the mediation effect refers to the effect transmitted by mediator intervening the relationship between an exposure variable and a response variable. Traditional mediation analysis methods, such as the difference in the coefficient method, the product of the coefficient method, and counterfactual framework method, all require several key assumptions. Thus, the estimation of mediation effects can be biased when one or more assumptions are violated. In addition to the traditional mediation analysis methods, Yu et al. proposed a general mediation analysis method that can use general predictive models to estimate mediation effects of any types of exposure variable(s), mediators and outcome(s). However, whether this method relies on the assumptions for the traditional mediation analysis methods is unknown. In this paper, we perform series of simulation studies to investigate the impact of violation of assumptions on the estimation of mediation effects using Yu et al.’s mediation analysis method. We use the R package mma for all estimations. We find that three assumptions for traditional mediation analysis methods are also essential for Yu et al.’s method. This paper provides a pipeline for using simulations to evaluate the impact of the assumptions for the general mediation analysis.

description: Since around the middle of the 20th century, the baroque violin has been gradually rediscovered for use in early music performance. This research project is an investigation into the processes of developing and presenting new music for the baroque violin, drawing on my experience both as an early music baroque violinist and as a contemporary music modern violinist. This research project aims to uncover ways in which the baroque violin may be used to express 21st-century music. This is presented in three volumes: Volume 1, this Exegesis, outlines the processes and outcomes of the project; Volume 2, an online Catalogue, details techniques and approaches to the baroque violin, for composers and interpreters, that may be used in 21st-century music; and Volume 3, recordings of three Recitals, each programmed to reflect on the significant stages of the research project. The development of five new works for the baroque violin, written by Australian composers Jacob Abela, Biddy Connor, Vincent Giles, Paddy Mann, and Samuel Smith, is considered. These works are used both as a means for developing new techniques and approaches to the baroque violin, and as examples of the practical application of the baroque violin in this context. Three additional works, by Alexander Garsden, Natasha Anderson, and Liza Lim, are also discussed. Through artistic research methodologies, drawing on interactions with composers and other performers, historical use of the baroque violin, and contemporary use of the modern violin, the approaches and techniques discussed in the Catalogue are developed and defined. The Recitals are presented to demonstrate the stages of the research project and the contemporary uses of the baroque violin that have been discovered and presented in the Catalogue.
