description: Studies on French adults using a written lexical decision task with masked priming, in which targets were more primed by consonant- (jalu-JOLI) than vowel-related (vobi-JOLI) primes, support the proposal that consonants have more weight than vowels in lexical processing. This study examines the phonological and/or lexical nature of this consonant bias (C-bias), using a sandwich priming task in which a brief presentation of the target (pre-prime) precedes the prime-target sequence, a manipulation blocking lexical neighbourhood effects. Results from three experiments (varying pre-prime/prime durations) show consistent C-priming and no significant V-priming at earlier and later processing stages (50 or 66 ms primes). Yet, a joint analysis reveals a small V-priming, while confirming a significant consonant advantage. This demonstrates the contribution of the phonological level to the C-bias. Second, differences in performance comparing the classic versus sandwich priming task also establish a contribution of lexical neighbourhood inhibition effects to the C-bias.

title: Situating United Nations Security Council Accountability: Between Liberal-Legal and Political Constitutionalism?
Creators: name: Murphy, BL
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2019

description: It is a truism to suggest that the United Nations Security Council wields immense power under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter. It is no surprise, therefore, that the Security Council has taken centre stage in a recent ‘turn to accountability’ in international legal literature. This PhD thesis presents a critical perspective of prevailing approaches adopted within this nascent literature. Following in the Kelsenian tradition, international lawyers have taken to the task of identifying the extent to which the Charter (the lex specialis), and general international law (the lex generalis) constitute binding obligations incumbent upon the Council, with judicial review of international courts and tribunals deemed central to this process. In this sense, it might appear that accountability is entirely reducible to the doctrine of international legal responsibility. This thesis aims to take a step back, in order to interrogate the meaning and scope of the concept of accountability in relation to this primary organ of the United Nations, not as a corollary to the linked idea of the responsibility of international organisations, but as a stand-alone concept. An etymological inquiry into the meaning of accountability reveals its dual function: while the concept surely relates to the idea of limiting Security Council decision-making (‘holding to account’) it at least equally also concerns the idea of ‘giving an account’ (linked to the principles of participation and transparency). Any conceptualisation of accountability that overlooks this duality is therefore inchoate. In search of a more holistic understanding, this thesis situates discourses on Security Council accountability onto broader, existential debates on the ‘constitutionalisation’ of international institutional law. Specifically, it uses the dichotomy of liberal-legal and political constitutionalism as a heuristic device to explore the various forms that Security Council accountability might take. Legal constitutionalism prioritises the identification of substantive legal obligations incumbent upon the Security Council and the empowerment of international judicial organs to review Security Council decisions ex post facto. Political constitutionalism, conversely, concerns the role of political actors in the assessment of Security Council decision-making and prioritises procedural rules over substantive obligations. Through the lens of political constitutionalism, therefore, accountability also entails a prospective dimension. To be sure, this thesis does not propose the legal/political constitutionalism dichotomy as the only way to categorise the state of the debate on Security Council accountability. Instead, it suggests that it is one possible way, a way that speaks directly to the overriding need to think politically about the concept of accountability and, by extension, about the Security Council as a political institution.

description: WiFi-enabled Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices are evolving from mere communication devices to sensing instruments, leveraging Channel State Information (CSI) extraction capabilities. Nevertheless, resource-constrained IoT devices and the intricacies of deep neural networks necessitate transmitting CSI to cloud servers for sensing. Although feasible, this leads to considerable communication overhead. In this context, this paper develops a novel Real-time Sensing and Compression Network (RSCNet) which enables sensing with compressed CSI; thereby reducing the communication overheads. RSCNet facilitates optimization across CSI windows composed of a few CSI frames. Once transmitted to cloud servers, it employs Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) units to harness data from prior windows, thus bolstering both the sensing accuracy and CSI reconstruction. RSCNet adeptly balances the trade-off between CSI compression and sensing precision, thus streamlining real-time cloud-based WiFi sensing with reduced communication costs. Numerical findings demonstrate the gains of RSCNet over the existing benchmarks like SenseFi, showcasing a sensing accuracy of 97.4% with minimal CSI reconstruction error. Numerical results also show a computational analysis of the proposed RSCNet as a function of the number of CSI frames.

description: Projections of future climate change caused by increasing greenhouse gases depend critically on numerical climate models coupling the ocean and atmosphere (GCMs). However, different models differ substantially in their projections, which raises the question of how the different models can best be combined into a probability distribution of future climate change. For this analysis, we have collected both current and future projected mean temperatures produced by nine climate models for 22 regions of the earth. We also have estimates of current mean temperatures from actual observations, together with standard errors, that can be used to calibrate the climate models. We propose a Bayesian analysis that allows us to combine the different climate models into a posterior distribution of future temperature increase, for each of the 22 regions, while allowing for the different climate models to have different variances. Two versions of the analysis are proposed, a univariate analysis in which each region is analyzed separately, and a multivariate analysis in which the 22 regions are combined into an overall statistical model. A cross-validation approach is proposed to confirm the reasonableness of our Bayesian predictive distributions. The results of this analysis allow for a quantification of the uncertainty of climate model projections as a Bayesian posterior distribution, substantially extending previous approaches to uncertainty in climate models.

The Analysis of Two-Way Functional Data Using Two-Way Regularized Singular Value Decompositions

description: Two-way functional data consist of a data matrix whose row and column domains are both structured, for example, temporally or spatially, as when the data are time series collected at different locations in space. We extend one-way functional principal component analysis (PCA) to two-way functional data by introducing regularization of both left and right singular vectors in the singular value decomposition (SVD) of the data matrix. We focus on a penalization approach and solve the non-trivial problem of constructing proper two-way penalties from one-way regression penalties. We introduce conditional crossvalidated smoothing parameter selection whereby left-singular vectors are crossvalidated conditional on right-singular vectors, and vice versa. The concept can be realized as part of an alternating optimization algorithm. In addition to the penalization approach, we briefly consider two-way regularization with basis expansion. The proposed methods are illustrated with one simulated and two real data examples. Supplemental materials available online show that several “natural” approaches to penalized SVDs are flawed and explain why so.

description: In this paper, based on a successively accuracy-increasing approximation of the $\ell_0$ norm, we propose a new algorithm for recovery of sparse vectors from underdetermined measurements. The approximations are realized with a certain class of concave functions that aggressively induce sparsity and their closeness to the $\ell_0$ norm can be controlled. We prove that the series of the approximations asymptotically coincides with the $\ell_1$ and $\ell_0$ norms when the approximation accuracy changes from the worst fitting to the best fitting. When measurements are noise-free, an optimization scheme is proposed which leads to a number of weighted $\ell_1$ minimization programs, whereas, in the presence of noise, we propose two iterative thresholding methods that are computationally appealing. A convergence guarantee for the iterative thresholding method is provided, and, for a particular function in the class of the approximating functions, we derive the closed-form thresholding operator. We further present some theoretical analyses via the restricted isometry, null space, and spherical section properties. Our extensive numerical simulations indicate that the proposed algorithm closely follows the performance of the oracle estimator for a range of sparsity levels wider than those of the state-of-the-art algorithms.

description: Making design decisions is characterized by a high degree of uncertainty, especially in the early phase of the product development process, when little information is known, while the decisions made have an impact on the entire product life cycle. Therefore, the goal of complexity management is to reduce uncertainty in order to minimize or avoid the need for design changes in a late phase of product development or in the use phase. With our approach we model the uncertainties with probabilistic reasoning in a Bayesian decision network explicitly, as the uncertainties are directly attached to parts of the design artifact′s model. By modeling the incomplete information expressed by unobserved variables in the Bayesian network in terms of probabilities, as well as the variation of product properties or parameters, a conclusion about the robustness of the product can be made. The application example of a rotary valve from engineering design shows that the decision network can support the engineer in decision-making under uncertainty. Furthermore, a contribution to knowledge formalization in the development project is made.

description: The field of optogenetics is rapidly growing in relevance and number of developed tools. Among other things, the optogenetic repertoire includes light-responsive ion channels and methods for gene regulation. This review will be confined to the optogenetic control of gene expression in mammalian cells as suitable models for clinical applications. Here optogenetic gene regulation might offer an excellent method for spatially and timely regulated gene and protein expression in cell therapeutic approaches. Well-known systems for gene regulation, such as the LOV-, CRY2/CIB-, PhyB/PIF-systems, as well as other, in mammalian cells not yet fully established systems, will be described. Advantages and disadvantages with regard to clinical applications are outlined in detail. Among the many unanswered questions concerning the application of optogenetics, we discuss items such as the use of exogenous chromophores and their effects on the biology of the cells and methods for a gentle, but effective gene transfection method for optogenetic tools for in vivo applications.
Synergy between DUNE and T2HKK to probe Invisible Neutrino Decay

description: We address the consequence of invisible neutrino decay within the framework of two long base-line neutrino experiments: T2HKK (Tokai-to-Hyper-Kamiokande-to-Korea) and DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino experiment). Our primary objective is to bring out the aspects of CC (charged current) and NC (neutral current) measurements at DUNE in the context of invisible neutrino decay. We find that the inclusion of NC measurements with the CC measurements enhances its ability to constrain invisible neutrino decay. Further, the synergy between DUNE and T2HKK improves the constraints on invisible neutrino decay. At 3$σ$ C.L. (confidence level) the derived constraint is $τ_{3}/m_{3}\geq6.21\times10^{-11}$ s/eV. Additionally, if nature prefers $ν_{3}$ to be unstable and the decay width is $τ_{3}/m_{3}= 2.2\times10^{-11}$ s/eV, this combination can exclude the no-decay scenario at more than 5$σ$ C.L. Although the CP sensitivity is not much hindered in the presence of invisible neutrino decay, the measurements of $θ_{23}$ and the ability to resolve octant of $θ_{23}$ is significantly influenced in these individual experiments. In the presence of invisible neutrino decay, the synergy between DUNE and T2HKK can exclude the wrong octant somewhat more effectively than either experiment alone.

description: Cross-sector social collaborations are increasingly recognised as valuable inter-organizational arrangements that seek to combine the commercial capabilities of private sector companies with the deep knowledge of social and environmental issues enrooted in social sector organizations. In this paper we empirically examine the configurations of conditions that lead to lasting cross-sector social collaboration. Situating our enquiry in Schütz’s theory of life-worlds and the reciprocity literature, we employ fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to analyse data gathered from 60 partners in 30 cross-sector social collaborations. We find two distinct types of configurational pathways leading to lasting cross-sector social collaboration which we label reciprocal economic exchange based on direct reciprocity, and reciprocal social exchange based on generalised reciprocity. The pathways vary in terms of the delivery of expected and unexpected resources and benefits. We introduce the concept of double relationality to explain the interdependence of structure and action in lasting cross sector social collaboration.

description: Pseudowords are used as stimuli in many psycholinguistic experiments yet they, remain largely under-researched. To better understand the cognitive processing of pseudowords, we analysed the pseudoword responses in the Massive Auditory Lexical Decision megastudy data set. Linguistic characteristics that influence the processing of real English words – namely, phonotactic probability, phonological neighbourhood density, uniqueness point, and morphological complexity – were also found to influence the processing time of spoken pseudowords. Subsequently, we analysed how the linguistic characteristics of non-unique portions of pseudowords influenced processing time. We again found that the named linguistic characteristics affected processing time, highlighting the dynamicity of activation and competition. We argue these findings also speak to learning new words and spoken word recognition generally. We then discuss what aspects of pseudoword recognition a full model of spoken word recognition must account for. We finish with a re-description of the auditory lexical decision task in light of our results.
Energy-Time Uncertainty Relations in Quantum Measurements

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Quantum measurement is a physical process. A system and an apparatus interact for a certain time period (measurement time), and during this interaction, information about an observable is transferred from the system to the apparatus. In this study, we quantify the energy fluctuation of the quantum apparatus required for this physical process to occur autonomously. We first examine the so-called standard model of measurement, which is free from any non-trivial energy-time uncertainty relation, to find that it needs an external system that switches on the interaction between the system and the apparatus. In such a sense this model is not closed. Therefore to treat a measurement process in a fully quantum manner we need to consider a "larger" quantum apparatus which works also as a timing device switching on the interaction. In this setting we prove that a trade-off relation (energy-time uncertainty relation), $τ\cdot ΔH_A \geq \frac{π\hbar}{4}$, holds between the energy fluctuation $ΔH_A$ of the quantum apparatus and the measurement time $τ$. We use this trade-off relation to discuss the spacetime uncertainty relation concerning the operational meaning of the microscopic structure of spacetime. In addition, we derive another trade-off inequality between the measurement time and the strength of interaction between the system and the apparatus.

description: Collegiality plays a central role in judicial decision-making. However, we still lack empirical evidence about the effects of collegiality on judicial decision-making. In this article, I argue familiarity, an antecedent to collegiality, improves judicial deliberations by encouraging minority dissent and a more extensive debate of different legal viewpoints. Relying on a novel dataset of 21,613 appeals in criminal cases at the German Federal Court of Justice between 1990 and 2016, I exploit quasi-random assignment of cases to decision-making groups to show that judges' pairwise familiarity substantially increases the probability that judges schedule a main hearing after first-stage deliberations. Group familiarity also increases the length of the justification of the ruling. The findings have implications for the way courts organize the assignment of judges to panels.

This paper aims to improve our understanding of “wrong” Discrete Event Simulation (DES) models based on empirical evidence. We interview 22 modellers who describe projects where modelling did not go as expected and explain how they dealt with those situations. This resulted in 54 stories reporting that a model was identified ”wrong” either by the modeller, the client or both. We perform a qualitative text analysis of the stories to identify the factors that define a ”wrong” model as well as potential uses of ”wrong” models. The results show that some models even though considered ”wrong” may still be useful in practice and provide valuable insights to users and modellers. This study offers practical suggestions for users and modellers to consider when dealing with a model that is considered ”wrong”.

description: A mass of traces of human activities show rich dynamic patterns. In this article, we comprehensively investigate the dynamic patterns of 50 thousands of researchers' activities in Sciencenet, the largest multi-disciplinary academic community in China. Through statistical analyses, we found that (i) there exists a power-law scaling between the frequency of visits to an academic forum and the number of corresponding visitors, with the exponent being about 1.33; (ii) the expansion process of academic forums obeys the Heaps' law, namely the number of distinct visited forums to the number of visits grows in a power-law form with exponent being about 0.54; (iii) the probability distributions of time intervals and the number of visits taken to revisit the same academic forum both follow power-laws, indicating the existence of memory effect in academic forum activities. On the basis of these empirical results, we propose a dynamic model that incorporates the exploration, preferential return and memory effect, which can well reproduce the observed scaling laws.

description: Highly developed science and technology from the last two decades motivated the study of complex data objects. In this paper, we consider the topological properties of a population of tree-structured objects. Our interest centers on modeling the relationship between a tree-structured response and other covariates. For tree objects, this poses serious challenges since most regression methods rely on linear operations in Euclidean space. We generalize the notion of nonparametric regression to the case of a tree-structured response variable. In addition, a fast algorithm with theoretical justification is developed. We implement the proposed method to analyze a data set of human brain artery trees. An important lesson is that smoothing in the full tree space can reveal much deeper scientific insights than the simple smoothing of summary statistics.

description: In the present digital age, intrafamilial dynamics and adolescents’ support of their parents in media use (technical brokering, Katz, 2010) are increasing in attention. However, the significance of migration-specific processes in adolescents’ technical brokering is less understood. In immigrant families, adolescents’ technical brokering may help families in adapting to the host culture and in keeping contact with friends and family abroad. This study investigated differences in the level of technical brokering between German immigrant and native Swiss adolescents and tested whether migration-unrelated (family life) or migration-related (i.e., culture brokering, Tse, 1995) factors are better predictors of interindividual differences in technical brokering in high SES immigrant families. The sample comprised 301 adolescents in Switzerland: 136 German immigrant adolescents (average age = 15.3, 65% female) and 165 native Swiss adolescents (average age = 15.9, 61% female). Adolescents stated the frequency of technical brokering tasks as well as culture brokering and migration-related processes. The results revealed that German immigrant adolescents provided technical brokering more frequently than native Swiss adolescents. Hierarchical regressions confirmed that technical brokering in German immigrant families is best explained by adolescents’ supporting their family in mastering the transition to a new country, as predictors pertaining to culture brokering, and host culture orientation explained most of the variance. This interpretation received further support by an interaction effect showing that technical brokering is particularly frequent when adolescents act as a culture broker in families with substantial socio-cultural adaptation difficulties. This study complements an often deficit-oriented view on immigrant youth with a view of their active and constructive role in immigrant family processes.

Entrepreneurship and geography—some thoughts about a complex relationship

description: This review article sheds a light on the complex and hitherto under-researched relationship between geography and entrepreneurship. This relationship is considered to be interdependent. Both directions are discussed. The paper also describes the perspectives of both academic disciplines involved in regional entrepreneurship research, namely (geographically sensitive) economics and management studies on the one hand, and economic geography on the other. Based on a comprehensive overview of the theoretical and empirical literature on regional entrepreneurship, several research gaps are identified that could be helpful for designing future research. Some have strong relevance for government policy, which has recently paid much more attention to entrepreneurship than in the past (e.g. related to the entrepreneurial ecosystem approach), but which rather rarely has been considered in academic evaluations so far. This paper ends with a suggestion for an agenda for future regional entrepreneurship research. Digital transformation with its potential for a disruptive transformation of economies and societies will provide an excellent and, of course, a currently not well-understood research field for regional entrepreneurship research.

Bayesian Factorizations of Big Sparse Tensors

description: It has become routine to collect data that are structured as multiway arrays (tensors). There is an enormous literature on low rank and sparse matrix factorizations, but limited consideration of extensions to the tensor case in statistics. The most common low rank tensor factorization relies on parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC), which expresses a rank k tensor as a sum of rank one tensors. When observations are only available for a tiny subset of the cells of a big tensor, the low rank assumption is not sufficient and PARAFAC has poor performance. We induce an additional layer of dimension reduction by allowing the effective rank to vary across dimensions of the table. For concreteness, we focus on a contingency table application. Taking a Bayesian approach, we place priors on terms in the factorization and develop an efficient Gibbs sampler for posterior computation. Theory is provided showing posterior concentration rates in high-dimensional settings, and the methods are shown to have excellent performance in simulations and several real data applications.

description: Let M be a compact connected oriented Riemannian manifold. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the long time behavior of a degenerate stochastic differential equation on the state space $M\times \mathbb{R}^{n}$; which is obtained via a natural change of variable from a self-repelling diffusion taking the form $$dX_{t}= σdB_{t}(X_t) -\int_{0}^{t}\nabla V_{X_s}(X_{t})dsdt,\qquad X_{0}=x$$ where $\{B_t\}$ is a Brownian vector field on $M$, $σ>0$ and $V_x(y) = V(x,y)$ is a diagonal Mercer kernel. We prove that the induced semi-group enjoys the strong Feller property and has a unique invariant probability $μ$ given as the product of the normalized Riemannian measure on M and a Gaussian measure on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. We then prove an exponential decay to this invariant probability in $L^{2}(μ)$ and in total variation.

Measuring search-engine quality and query difficulty: Ranking with target and freestyle

description: Instead of using traditional performance measures such as precision and recall, information retrieval performance may be measured by considering the probability that the search engine is optimal and the difficulty associated with retrieving documents with a given query or on a given topic. These measures of desirable characteristics are more easily and more directly interpretable than are traditional measures. The performance of the Target and Freestyle search engines is examined and is very good. Each query in the CF database is assigned a difficulty number, and these numbers are found to strongly correlate with other measures of retrieval performance such as an E or F value. The query difficulty correlates weakly with query length.
