description: Stereotypical reasoning assumes that the situation at hand is one of a kind and that it enjoys the properties generally associated with that kind of situation. It is one of the most basic forms of nonmonotonic reasoning. A formal model for stereotypical reasoning is proposed and the logical properties of this form of reasoning are studied. Stereotypical reasoning is shown to be cumulative under weak assumptions.

A cosmological model in Weyl-Cartan spacetime: I. Field equations and solutions
Creators: name: Puetzfeld, Dirk
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this first article of a series on alternative cosmological models we present an extended version of a cosmological model in Weyl-Cartan spacetime. The new model can be viewed as a generalization of a model developed earlier jointly with Tresguerres. Within this model the non-Riemannian quantities, i.e. torsion $T^α$ and nonmetricity $Q_{αβ}$, are proportional to the Weyl 1-form. The hypermomentum $Δ_{αβ}$ depends on our ansatz for the nonmetricity and vice versa. We derive the explicit form of the field equations for different cases and provide solutions for a broad class of parameters. We demonstrate that it is possible to construct models in which the non-Riemannian quantities die out with time. We show how our model fits into the more general framework of metric-affine gravity (MAG).

description: Anthony (Tony) Linnane isolated mitochondria from bakers’ yeast during his doctoral studies at the University of Sydney in the 1950s. He subsequently pioneered research into the biogenesis of mitochondria, covering enzymology, membrane biochemistry and molecular biology and genetics, over more than two decades until the mid 1980s. These discoveries were made mostly at Monash University and earned him election as a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science (FAA 1972) and of the Royal Society (1980). Linnane thereafter broadened his research towards medical topics, especially the role of mitochondria in human ageing, together with studies on interferon and cancer-specific mucinous antigens. After retirement from Monash in 1996, Linnane worked towards ameliorating disease through bioenergetic strategies, based at the Centre for Molecular Biology and Medicine in Melbourne. He played significant roles in the Australian Biochemical Society and the International Union of Biochemistry.Note: This memoir was commissioned by the Historical Records of Australian Science and is published here with minor amendments.

description: Counter-regulatory elements maintain dynamic equilibrium ubiquitously in living systems. The most prominent example, which is critical to mammalian survival, is that of pancreatic α and β cells producing glucagon and insulin for glucose homeostasis. These cells are not found in a single gland but are dispersed in multiple micro-organs known as the islets of Langerhans. Within an islet, these two reciprocal cell types interact with each other and with an additional cell type: the δ cell. By testing all possible motifs governing the interactions of these three cell types, we found that a unique set of positive/negative intra-islet interactions between different islet cell types functions not only to reduce the superficially wasteful zero-sum action of glucagon and insulin but also to enhance/suppress the synchronization of hormone secretions between islets under high/normal glucose conditions. This anti-symmetric interaction motif confers effective controllability for network (de)synchronization.

description: As one type of machine-learning model, a "decision-tree ensemble model" (DTEM) is represented by a set of decision trees. A DTEM is mainly known to be valid for structured data; however, like other machine-learning models, it is difficult to train so that it returns the correct output value for any input value. Accordingly, when a DTEM is used in regard to a system that requires reliability, it is important to comprehensively detect input values that lead to malfunctions of a system (failures) during development and take appropriate measures. One conceivable solution is to install an input filter that controls the input to the DTEM, and to use separate software to process input values that may lead to failures. To develop the input filter, it is necessary to specify the filtering condition of the input value that leads to the malfunction of the system. Given that necessity, in this paper, we propose a method for formally verifying a DTEM and, according to the result of the verification, if an input value leading to a failure is found, extracting the range in which such an input value exists. The proposed method can comprehensively extract the range in which the input value leading to the failure exists; therefore, by creating an input filter based on that range, it is possible to prevent the failure occurring in the system. In this paper, the algorithm of the proposed method is described, and the results of a case study using a dataset of house prices are presented. On the basis of those results, the feasibility of the proposed method is demonstrated, and its scalability is evaluated.

description: The binding affinity between the T-cell receptors (TCRs) and antigenic peptides mainly determines immunological recognition. It is not a trivial task that T cells identify the digital sequences of peptide amino acids by simply relying on the integrated binding affinity between TCRs and antigenic peptides. To address this problem, we examine whether the affinity-based discrimination of peptide sequences is learnable and generalizable by artificial neural networks (ANNs) that process the digital experimental amino acid sequence information of receptors and peptides. A pair of TCR and peptide sequences correspond to the input for ANNs, while the success or failure of the immunological recognition correspond to the output. The output is obtained by both theoretical model and experimental data. In either case, we confirmed that ANNs could learn the immunological recognition. We also found that a homogenized encoding of amino acid sequence was more effective for the supervised learning task.
Objectivity and moral judgements
Creators: name: Watt, Alan John
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1972

description: H.D. Aiken has written a paper called 'The Concept of Moral Objectivity. As the title suggests, it seems to be written on the understanding that there is only one such concept, waiting to be clarified by the first man who can give it accurate expression. But one cannot expect any single answer to the question whether moral judgments are objective; their objectivity has been affirmed and denied in a variety of related and unrelated senses. I want to illustrate this variety by outlining some of the meanings which have been given to the word in these contexts, and to point briefly to some of the connections and distinctions between them, with a view then to isolating the sense of the question with which this thesis is mainly concerned, and indicating my general strategy in approaching it.

description: We consider a model based on $p-$form kinetic Lagrangians in the context of dark energy. The Lagrangian of the model is built with kinetic terms of the field strength for each $p$-form coupled to a scalar field $ϕ$ through a kinetic function. We assume that this scalar field is responsible for the present accelerated expansion of the Universe. Since we are interested in cosmological applications, we specialize the analysis to a 4-dimensional case, using an anisotropic space-time. By studying the dynamical equations, we investigate the evolution of the dark energy density parameter, the effective equation of state and the shear induced by the anisotropic configuration.

Spectral theory and special functions

Subjects: subject: Classical Analysis and ODEs (math.CA)

description: A short introduction to the use of the spectral theorem for self-adjoint operators in the theory of special functions is given. As the first example, the spectral theorem is applied to Jacobi operators, i.e. tridiagonal operators, on l^2(N), leading to a proof of Favard's theorem stating that polynomials satisfying a three-term recurrence relation are orthogonal polynomials. We discuss the link to the moment problem. In the second example, the spectral theorem is applied to Jacobi operators on l^2(Z). We discuss the theorem of Masson and Repka linking the deficiency indices of a Jacobi operator on l^2(Z) to those of two Jacobi operators on l^2(N). For two examples of Jacobi operators on l^2(Z), namely for the Meixner, respectively Meixner-Pollaczek, functions, related to the associated Meixner, respectively Meixner-Pollaczek, polynomials, and for the second order hypergeometric q-difference operator, we calculate the spectral measure explicitly. This gives explicit (generalised) orthogonality relations for hypergeometric and basic hypergeometric series.

description: This paper presents a video encoding method in which noise is encoded using a novel parametric model representing spectral envelope and spatial distribution of energy. The proposed method has been experimentally assessed using video test sequences in a practical setup consisting of a simple, real-time noise reduction technique and High Efficiency Video Codec (HEVC). The attained results show that the use of the proposed parametric modeling of noise can improve the subjective quality of reconstructed video by approximately 1.8 Mean Opinion Scope (MOS) points (in 11-point scale) related to the classical video coding. Moreover, the present work confirms results attained in the previous works that the usage of even sole noise reduction prior to the encoding provides quality increase.

We find a number of surprising features including: (1) In the presence of a Kaluza-Klein bubble, there are arbitrarily large black holes with topology S^3. (2) In the presence of a black hole or a black string, there are expanding bubbles (with de Sitter geometry) which never reach null infinity. (3) A bubble can hold two black holes of arbitrary size in static equilibrium. In particular, two large black holes can be close together without merging to form a single black hole.

Leveraging tensor kernels to reduce objective function mismatch in deep clustering

description: Objective Function Mismatch (OFM) occurs when the optimization of one objective has a negative impact on the optimization of another objective. In this work we study OFM in deep clustering, and find that the popular autoencoder-based approach to deep clustering can lead to both reduced clustering performance, and a significant amount of OFM between the reconstruction and clustering objectives. To reduce the mismatch, while maintaining the structure-preserving property of an auxiliary objective, we propose a set of new auxiliary objectives for deep clustering, referred to as the Unsupervised Companion Objectives (UCOs). The UCOs rely on a kernel function to formulate a clustering objective on intermediate representations in the network. Generally, intermediate representations can include other dimensions, for instance spatial or temporal, in addition to the feature dimension. We therefore argue that the naïve approach of vectorizing and applying a vector kernel is suboptimal for such representations, as it ignores the information contained in the other dimensions. To address this drawback, we equip the UCOs with structure-exploiting tensor kernels, designed for tensors of arbitrary rank. The UCOs can thus be adapted to a broad class of network architectures. We also propose a novel, regression-based measure of OFM, allowing us to accurately quantify the amount of OFM observed during training. Our experiments show that the OFM between the UCOs and the main clustering objective is lower, compared to a similar autoencoder-based model. Further, we illustrate that the UCOs improve the clustering performance of the model, in contrast to the autoencoder-based approach. The code for our experiments is available at https://github.com/danieltrosten/tk-uco.
Are Architectural Smells Independent from Code Smells? An Empirical Study

description: Background. Architectural smells and code smells are symptoms of bad code or design that can cause different quality problems, such as faults, technical debt, or difficulties with maintenance and evolution. Some studies show that code smells and architectural smells often appear together in the same file. The correlation between code smells and architectural smells, however, is not clear yet; some studies on a limited set of projects have claimed that architectural smells can be derived from code smells, while other studies claim the opposite. Objective. The goal of this work is to understand whether architectural smells are independent from code smells or can be derived from a code smell or from one category of them. Method. We conducted a case study analyzing the correlations among 19 code smells, six categories of code smells, and four architectural smells. Results. The results show that architectural smells are correlated with code smells only in a very low number of occurrences and therefore cannot be derived from code smells. Conclusion. Architectural smells are independent from code smells, and therefore deserve special attention by researchers, who should investigate their actual harmfulness, and practitioners, who should consider whether and when to remove them.

description: A key step in any scanning-based asset creation workflow is to convert unordered point clouds to a surface. Classical methods (e.g., Poisson reconstruction) start to degrade in the presence of noisy and partial scans. Hence, deep learning based methods have recently been proposed to produce complete surfaces, even from partial scans. However, such data-driven methods struggle to generalize to new shapes with large geometric and topological variations. We present Points2Surf, a novel patch-based learning framework that produces accurate surfaces directly from raw scans without normals. Learning a prior over a combination of detailed local patches and coarse global information improves generalization performance and reconstruction accuracy. Our extensive comparison on both synthetic and real data demonstrates a clear advantage of our method over state-of-the-art alternatives on previously unseen classes (on average, Points2Surf brings down reconstruction error by 30% over SPR and by 270%+ over deep learning based SotA methods) at the cost of longer computation times and a slight increase in small-scale topological noise in some cases. Our source code, pre-trained model, and dataset are available on: https://github.com/ErlerPhilipp/points2surf

description: It has been shown recently that a nonrelativistic quantum particle constrained to a hard-wall layer of constant width built over a geodesically complete simply connected noncompact curved surface can have bound states provided the surface is not a plane. In this paper we study the weak-coupling asymptotics of these bound states, i.e. the situation when the surface is a mildly curved plane. Under suitable assumptions about regularity and decay of surface curvatures we derive the leading order in the ground-state eigenvalue expansion. The argument is based on Birman-Schwinger analysis of Schroedinger operators in a planar hard-wall layer.

description: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are unwanted or harmful effects experienced after the administration of a certain drug or a combination of drugs, presenting a challenge for drug development and drug administration. In this paper, we present a set of taggers for extracting adverse drug reactions and related entities, including factors, severity, negations, drug class and animal. The systems used a mix of rule-based, machine learning (CRF) and deep learning (BLSTM with word2vec embeddings) methodologies in order to annotate the data. The systems were submitted to adverse drug reaction shared task, organised during Text Analytics Conference in 2017 by National Institute for Standards and Technology, archiving F1-scores of 76.00 and 75.61 respectively.

description: A dissipative mechanism is presented, which emerges in generic interacting quantum field systems and which leads to robust warm inflation. An explicit example is considered, where using typical parameter values, it is shown that considerable radiation can be produced during inflation. The extension of our results to expanding spacetime also is discussed.

description: We study the effect of large-scale tidal fields on internal halo properties using a set of N-body simulations. We measure significant cross-correlations between large-scale tidal fields and several non-scalar halo properties: shapes, velocity dispersion, and angular momentum. Selection effects that couple to these non-scalar halo properties can produce anisotropic clustering even in real-space. We investigate the size of this effect and show that it can produce a non-zero quadrupole similar in size to the one generated by linear redshift-space distortions (RSD). Finally, we investigate the clustering properties of halos identified in redshift-space and find enormous deviations from the standard linear RSD model, again caused by anisotropic assembly bias. These effects could contaminate the values of cosmological parameters inferred from the observed redshift-space clustering of galaxies, groups, or 21cm emission from atomic hydrogen, if their selection depends on properties affected by halo assembly bias. We briefly discuss ways in which this effect can be measured in existing and future large-scale structure surveys.

Power of Knockoff: The Impact of Ranking Algorithm, Augmented Design, and Symmetric Statistic

description: The knockoff filter is a recent false discovery rate (FDR) control method for high-dimensional linear models. We point out that knockoff has three key components: ranking algorithm, augmented design, and symmetric statistic, and each component admits multiple choices. By considering various combinations of the three components, we obtain a collection of variants of knockoff. All these variants guarantee finite-sample FDR control, and our goal is to compare their power. We assume a Rare and Weak signal model on regression coefficients and compare the power of different variants of knockoff by deriving explicit formulas of false positive rate and false negative rate. Our results provide new insights on how to improve power when controlling FDR at a targeted level. We also compare the power of knockoff with its propotype - a method that uses the same ranking algorithm but has access to an ideal threshold. The comparison reveals the additional price one pays by finding a data-driven threshold to control FDR.

description: In it's usual presentation, classical mechanics appears to give time a very special role. But it is well known that mechanics can be formulated so as to treat the time variable on the same footing as the other variables in the extended configuration space. Such covariant formulations are natural for relativistic gravitational systems, where general covariance conflicts with the notion of a preferred physical-time variable. The standard presentation of quantum mechanics, in turns, gives again time a very special role, raising well known difficulties for quantum gravity. Is there a covariant form of (canonical) quantum mechanics? We observe that the preferred role of time in quantum theory is the consequence of an idealization: that measurements are instantaneous. Canonical quantum theory can be given a covariant form by dropping this idealization. States prepared by non-instantaneous measurements are described by "spacetime smeared states". The theory can be formulated in terms of these states, without making any reference to a special time variable. The quantum dynamics is expressed in terms of the propagator, an object covariantly defined on the extended configuration space.

description: An enhanced acoustic scatterer reflectance layer was observed in the bathypelagic zone around 1650 m in the subtropical NE-Atlantic Ocean for about two months during autumn. It resembles a classic pattern of diapause-resting, possibly of large zooplankton, shrimp and/or Cyclothone, at great depths well below any sunlight penetration, which is more commonly found at higher latitudes. The observed slow sink and rise of about 2-5 m per day into and out of this deep layer is considerably slower than the more than 1000 m per day of diel vertical migration (DVM). During the two-month period of deep scattering, DVM is observed to be greatly reduced.

The Ghana Cocoa Marketing Board : conflicts of interest
Creators: name: Guri, Sanni
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1975
Subjects: subject: Ghana Cocoa Marketing Board
subject: Cocoa trade

description: This study investigates the implications of the Ghana Cocoa Marketing Board's economic objectives on cocoa production in Ghana. The realisation of the Board's objectives involves it in withholding from the growers significant proportions of the annual proceeds from the export of cocoa. All withdrawals, be they temporary or permanent, are classified as taxes on the growers. The taxation since the GCMB was created is more than that required for optimal development of the industry. To reach this conclusion the actual taxation is compared with a theoretical optimum taxation computed along the lines suggested by Professor W. M. Corden of Oxford University. Thus a rationalisation of taxation in the Ghana cocoa industry is suggested to involve a cut in actual taxation by 9 per cent. The main purpose of the thesis, which is to analyse the effect of the GCMB's objectives, is discussed in Chapter 5 and a broad spectrum of the world and Ghanaian cocoa industries is investigated. This, it is hoped, will provide the context in which the argument for optimal development of Ghanaian cocoa production is to be advanced. The arrangement and contents of chapters are: (a) a survey of the current world cocoa industry; (b) a survey of cocoa production and the resources employed in Ghana; (c) a review of some important attempts at estimating the Ghana cocoa supply function, and (d) the cocoa marketing system in Ghana. Chapter 1 establishes that there currently exists a favourable market condition for more cocoa to be supplied by producing nations . On the other hand , Chapter 2 suggests that costs of production are rising and that the current land and labour intensive techniques of production are giving way to capital intensive techniques. Chapter 3 shows that Ghanaian cocoa producers are responsive to price incentives, while Chapter 4 outlines the powerful position of the GCMB and the objectives for which the Board stands. Finally , the contradictions between the Board's objectives and their implications for production and incomes are discussed in Chapter 5. Ghana is at an economic crossroads. Unless substantial new developments of initiatives are undertaken. Gross National Product will continue to increase at a rate slower than population increase - meaning , at best , long term stagnation. This thesis argues for one such initiative: a redistribution of income to cocoa farmers. This , it is argued, will so increase production that government revenues will not fall in the long term,and increased export revenues and private income will provide a capital basis for a diversified approach to Ghana's economic development.
A solution procedure for minimizing total completion time in a parallel-batching environment

description: In many manufacturing processes, batch processing is frequently needed for capacity reasons. This applies both to parallel and serial batching. However, while the serial batch processing is largely studied in the literature, as it is related to the setup issues, the parallel batch processing is less investigated. In parallel batching, the manufacturing facility (e.g., ovens for burn-in operations) is able to accommodate, and process, several parts at the same time and not to exploit such ability leads to a reduction in the capacity of the manufacturing facility itself, which will be able to process less parts per time unit. In this paper, the scheduling problem in batch processing environments is considered. Specifically a column generation algorithm is proposed for parallel batching in both single machine and parallel machine layouts. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm is able to achieve good solutions in reasonable computation time due to the use of a new developed lower bound much stronger than the literature available lower bounds.

description: The Sérsic or $R^{1/m}$ model has become the de facto standard model to describe the surface brightness profiles of early-type galaxies and the bulges of spiral galaxies. The photometric, intrinsic, and dynamical properties of this model have been investigated, but mainly for fairly large Sérsic indices $m$. For small values of $m$, appropriate for low-mass and dwarf ellipticals, a detailed investigation of these properties is still lacking. In this study, we used a combination of numerical and analytical techniques to investigate the Sérsic model over the entire range of Sérsic parameters, focussing on the small $m$ regime, where a number of interesting and surprising properties are found. For all values $m<1$, the model is characterised by a finite central luminosity density, and for $m
