Improving the Sensitivity of Statistical Testing for Clusterability with Mirrored-Density Plots
Creators: name: Thrun, Michael C.
Publisher: name: The Eurographics Association
Year: 2020
Subjects: Information systems
Clustering

description: For many applications, it is crucial to decide if a dataset possesses cluster structures. This property is called clusterability and is usually investigated with the usage of statistical testing. Here, it is proposed to extend statistical testing with the Mirrored- Density plot (MDplot). The MDplot allows investigating the distributions of many variables with automatic sampling in case of large datasets. Statistical testing of clusterability is compared with MDplots of the 1st principal component and the distance distribution of data. Contradicting results are evaluated with topographic maps of cluster structures derived from planar projections using the generalized U-Matrix technique. A collection of artificial and natural datasets is used for the comparison. This collection is specially designed to have a variety of clustering problems that any algorithm should be able to handle. The results demonstrate that the MDplot improves statistical testing but, even then, almost touching cluster structures of low intercluster distances without a predominant direction of variance remain challenging.

description: Background/Objectives: Addiction severity has been associated with numerous social- and health-related harms. This study sought to examine the prevalence and correlates of high-intensity drug use among street-involved youth in a Canadian setting with a focus on high-risk drug use practices and health service access. Methods: Data were derived from the At-Risk Youth Study, a Vancouver-based prospective cohort of street-involved youth aged 14–26. We used generalized estimating equations to examine variables associated with high-intensity drug use, defined as daily use of crack cocaine, cocaine, heroin, or crystal methamphetamine. Results: From September 2005 to November 2012, of 1017 youth included in the analyses, 529 (52%) reported high-intensity drug use as defined above at least once during the study period. In a multivariate analysis, older age (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] = 1.47); residing in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver (AOR = 1.46); homelessness (AOR = 1.30); recent incarceration (AOR = 1.25); inability to access addiction treatment (AOR = 1.42); and crack pipe sharing and/or used syringe injecting (AOR = 2.64), were all positively and independently associated with high-intensity drug use (p < 0.05). The most common barrier to accessing addiction treatment reported by these youth was long waiting lists. Conclusions: High-intensity drug use among street-involved youth was prevalent and associated with structural and geographical disadvantages in addition to high-risk drug administration practices. Youth reporting more frequent drug use also reported barriers to accessing addiction treatment, highlighting the need to expand addiction services tailored to youth at greatest risk of harm from illicit drug use and street-involvement.

description: Bevor Imran Khan Pakistans Premierminister wurde, war er nicht bekannt dafür, sich den Hardlinern im Land entgegenzustellen. Eher wiederholte er als Oppositionspolitiker ihre Narrative, wenn es für ihn politisch opportun schien. Auf dem Höhepunkt des Aufstandsder Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) gegen den pakistanischen Staat von 2012 bis 2014 sinnierte er, dass die TTP Terroranschläge verübe, um gegen die fehlgeleitete Allianz des pakistanischen Staates mit den Vereinigten Staaten im Krieg in Afghanistan zu protestieren. Kann so jemand für eine Reformpolitik einstehen? Obwohl die Autorin ihre Auswertung bereits im November 2018 vornahm, wenige Monate nach Khans Amtsantritt, hat sie bis heute gültige Grundmuster aufdecken können.

A new general distance measure for quantization of LSF and their transformed coefficients
Creators: name: Vu, Hai
name: Lois, Laszlo
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this paper, we have developed a new general distance measure that not only can be used in a vector quantization (VQ) of the line spectrum frequency (LSF) parameters but performs well in the LSF transformed domain. The new distance is based on the spectral sensitivity of LSF and their transformed coefficients. In addition, the fix scaling factor is used to decrease the sensitivity of spectral error at higher frequencies. Experimental results have shown that the proposed distance measure leads to as good as or better performance of VQ compared to other methods in the field of LSF coding. The use of this distance as the weighting function of the LSF's transformed parameters is also suggested.

description: The effects of B. subtilis on the morphology and physiology of saffron were investigated using two types of soils. Three different bacterial suspensions were applied at 14-day intervals to treat saffron. Morphological attributes were recorded, and the amounts of α-crocin and safranal in the stigma extracts were quantified. The longest stigma, petal, and leaf were observed in the treated groups with 105 and 108 cfu/ml. The highest weight of stigma per corm belonged to the treated groups with 102 cfu/ml in unsterile soil and 105 and 108 cfu/ml in sterile soil. Treatment with 102 and 108 cfu/ml caused a significant increase in safranal production in sterile and unsterile peat/perlite. While treatment with 105 and 108 cfu/ml in sterile peat/perlite and exposure to 102 cfu/ml in unsterile peat/perlite soil resulted in an increase in α-crocin. The data showed that B. subtlis triggers the morphological and physiological processes in saffron.

Place-based fishing livelihoods and the global ocean: the Irish pelagic fleet at home and abroad
Creators: name: Donkersloot, Rachel
name: Menzies, Charles
Publisher: name: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
Year: 2016

description: This paper examines the development of the Irish pelagic fleet and how it has impacted place-based fishing livelihoods in southwest County Donegal, both positively and negatively. As part of this effort, we consider how shifting local and global sociopolitical realities have shaped linkages between resource access and people-place connections in southwest Donegal. We pay particular attention to how Irish fishing opportunities, both at home and abroad, are created and constrained under EU governance and how this drives the displacement of fishing livelihoods from coastal southwest Donegal. We identify power as a key and dynamic mechanism underlying fishery systems in the Irish context. Drawing on interview and ethnographic data we discuss how power is perceived and exercised among local fishery stakeholders, and how this in turn works to shape contemporary adaptive strategies in rural fishery dependent Ireland.

description: In the past few years, Deep Neural Networks (DNN) have become the state-of-the-art solution in several areas, including automatic speech recognition (ASR), unfortunately, they are generally viewed as black boxes. Recently, this started to change as researchers have dedicated much effort into interpreting their behavior. In this work, we concentrate on visual interpretation by depicting the hidden activation vectors of the DNN, and propose the usage of deep Autoencoders (DAE) to transform these hidden representations for inspection. We use multiple metrics to compare our approach with other, widely-used algorithms and the results show that our approach is quite competitive. The main advantage of using Autoencoders over the existing ones is that after the training phase, it applies a fixed transformation that can be used to visualize any hidden activation vector without any further optimization, which is not true for the other methods.

Year: 2024

description: The effects of electron-electron interaction of a two-electron nanoscopic ring on the energy levels and far-infrared spectroscopy have been investigated based on a model calculation that is performed within the exactly numerical diagonalization. It is found that the interaction changes the energy spectra dramatically, and also shows significant influence on the far-infrared spectroscopy. The crossings between the lowest spin-singlet and triplet states induced by the Coulomb interaction are clearly revealed. Our results are related to the experiment recently carried out by Lorke et al.

description: Introduction: Within Canada, injuries are the leading cause of death amongst children fourteen years of age and younger, and also one of the leading causes of morbidity. Low Socio Economic Status (SES) seems to be a strong indicator of a higher prevalence of injuries. This study aims to identify hotspots for pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and examines the relationship between SES and pediatric TBI rates in greater Vancouver, British Columbia (BC), Canada. Methods: Pediatric TBI data from the BC Trauma Registry (BCTR) was used to identify all pediatric TBI patients admitted to BC hospitals between the years 2000 and 2013. Spatial analysis was used to identify hotspots for pediatric TBI. Multivariate analysis was used to distinguish census variables that were correlated with rates of injury. Results: Six hundred and fifty three severe pediatric TBI injuries occurred within the BC Lower Mainland between 2000 and 2013. High rates of injury were concentrated in the East, while low rate clusters were most common in the West of the region (more affluent neighborhoods). A low level of education was the main predictor of a high rate of injury (OR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.03–1.23, p-Value 0.009). Conclusion: While there was a clear relationship between different SES indicators and pediatric TBI rates in greater Vancouver, income-based SES indicators did not serve as good predictors within this region.

description: Learning science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) can be dull in the absence of adequate incentives; students may lose interest in STEM subjects during their high school education. This could result in a decline in enrollment in STEM fields in postsecondary education and employment as well. However, learning can be reinforced in a multimodal environment. For example, a haptic virtual environment (VE) that incorporates both vision and touch can provide better affordance in learning. This multimodal VE may help students to better understand the underlying concepts of molecular formation while pursuing chemistry and related subjects at the secondary level. Visuohaptics may work as an incentive in learning complex molecular structures and become a source of edutainment and extra motivation for students. Thus, a multimodal VE enhances attentiveness and interest among students in pursuing STEM fields in secondary and postsecondary education.

description: The keys to success in health status clinical investigations, fitness services, and several other related fields are accurate identification of human actions. In this study, the machine learning is integrated with corn husk based biodegradable and environment friendly triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). This self-powered sensor designed and fabricated in this present study is used for smart human activity monitoring. We devote our focus on using biodegradable materials to make environmentally friendly devices as a green energy source. The corn husk used in this study is a natural agriculture waste by-product. This corn husk based sensor is capable of generating 140 volts and charging various commercial capacitors. This eco-friendly sensing device is also tested as a wearable sensor to gather data and track the user’s physical activity, such as jumping, running, and walking. For accurate prediction of human activity, the designed corn husk based sensor is coupled with an extra randomized tree and random forest-based machine learning model. These models achieve a 98.89% and 98.33% accuracy rate in identifying the user’s three activities. The research presents a novel strategy to support tailored applications of TENG sensors in human motion tracking and enables the development of intelligent, self-sufficient systems for novel uses.

description: Solar power generation is highly uncertain and intermittent due to its strong dependence on climate and meteorological factors. In this study, we have proposed a bagging ensemble of artificial neural network (BagANN) model with weighted averaging optimized using grey wolf optimization (GWO) and investigate the impact of climatic and meteorological factors on the output power prediction of the solar power plant. Initially, we have preprocessed the data by applying feature engineering, normalization techniques, and appropriate features are selected for power prediction. The hyperparameters of the BagANN model are tuned and optimized using the GWO technique to improve the models predictive accuracy. Experiments are conducted to evaluate the generalization performance of the developed model using five-fold and 10-fold cross-validation techniques. The performance results are assessed using RMSE, coefficient of determination (R2), adjusted (R2), and the MAPE. Results show that the BagANN with weighted averaging has a higher level of precision with R2 of 98.5% predictive accuracy, has less prediction errors with 0.1263 MSE and 0.0267 MAPE than the other developed models. From the result, it is evident that the BagANN model has significant improvements compared to other models available in the literature in terms of robustness of the prediction and predictive accuracy.

description: For a long time, the major focus of membrane simulations was laid on rectangular membrane patches based on the fluid mosaic model. Because of the computational performance of today's computer hardware, it is now possible to generate and simulate larger structures, such as vesicles or micelles. Yet, there are no approaches available to generate these partly complex structures in a convenient and interactive way using WYSIWYG methods and exporting it to PDB format. The CELLmicrocosmos 2.2 MembraneEditor was originally developed for the interactive computation of heterogeneous rectangular membrane patches, solving 2.5D packing problems. Now, its packing capabilities were extended into the third dimension by introducing the Vesicle Builder which is optimized for the computation of vesicular mono- or bilayer membranes. The shape computation is based on an ellipsoid formula enabling the generation of vesicles featuring different lipid compositions, shapes and sizes. More complex shapes can be generated by combining different shapes. Moreover, extended shape customization is possible by modifying and extending the algorithm. Three application cases are discussed: 1) Different potential vesicular configurations including wavy, ellipsoid, enclosing and modular structures are modelled and shortly discussed; 2) To evaluate the compatibility of the Vesicle Builder with simulation tools, a three-component vesicle was modelled and successfully simulated. 3) To show the capability to generate large structures, a vesicle with a radius of 370 Å was generated, consisting of approx. 50,000 lipids and 2 million atoms, respectively. The MembraneEditor as well as the Vesicle Builder plugin can be downloaded from https://Cm2.CELLmicrocosmos.org

description: Among the various post-translational modifications, N-glycosylations are particularly important. They are linked to asparagine residues and their function as well as the one of the protein can be altered by modifications such as sialic acid hydrolysis. Since in vitro studies of N-glycans can be a challenging process (glycosylation chains have a great diversity and contain many reactive groups), in silico characterization using molecular dynamics simulation seems to be a good tool capable of overcoming experimental shortcomings thanks to exhaustive conformational samplings. In this paper, the Umbrella Visualization, a recent implementation into the molecular viewer UnityMol, is presented. This new and original visualization method is offering the possibility to follow and decipher the dynamics of very flexible sugar chains and enable the identification of the protein surface covered and potentially impacted by glycans. The latest module, described here and integrated within the Umbrella Visualization, complements the original statistical approach and allows for a meaningful description of glycan/protein interplay by combining, with shadow mapping, labelling, and hydrophobic properties of the surrounding aminoacids.

description: Population data on long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCn-3 PUFA) status from biomarkers of dietary intake is lacking. The objectives were to describe plasma LCn-3 PUFA concentrations and compare them to concentrations associated with cardiovascular health and dietary recommendations for two servings of seafood/week. Fasting plasma fatty acids were measured among 1386 subjects ≥20 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2003–2004. LCn-3 concentrations represent the sum of eicosapentaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid relative to total fatty acids (expressed as a percentage). Mean LCn-3 PUFA concentration was 2.07% (95% CI 1.95–2.19). Overall, 80.6% of participants had LCn-3 below concentrations recommended for cardiovascular health. Hispanic participants were the most likely to have LCn-3 PUFA below recommended levels. Nearly all participants (95.7%) had LCn-3 below concentrations associated with cardiovascular protection. Older participants (≥60 years) had higher LCn-3 PUFA concentrations than those aged 20–39 years but not aged 40–59 years. LCn-3 PUFA concentrations were lower for Hispanic participants relative to non-Hispanic black participants. Suboptimal LCn-3 concentrations are common among U.S. adults. These findings highlight the need to increase LCn-3 intake among Americans.

description: Auf der 40. Tagung des UN Menschenrechtsrats (UNHRC) von Ende Februar bis Mitte März 2019 wird unter anderem über die Resolution 30/1 zu Sri Lanka aus dem Jahr 2015 debattiert. Die Regierung von Sri Lanka wurde darin aufgefordert, Versöhnung, Rechenschaftspflicht und Menschenrechte im Land zu fördern und insbesondere eine unparteiische internationale Untersuchung der mutmaßlichen Kriegsverbrechen zu organisieren, die in der Endphase des Bürgerkriegs begangen wurden. Resolution 30/1 sah dafür ein hybrid zusammengesetztes Gericht aus internationalen Expert(inn)en, lokalen Richter(inne)n und Staatsanwälten vor. Dies umzusetzen, hatte die Regierung vier Jahre Zeit. Was daraus geworden ist, dieser Frage geht der Autor hier nach.

description: This study presents a strategic assessment of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries’ transition from hydrocarbon dependence to renewable energy, with a focus on net-zero goals and sustainable development. Anchored in foundational drivers such as environmental concerns, economic diversification, and energy security, the research identifies emerging drivers, including green energy diplomacy, enhanced competitiveness, and the rise of green geopolitical power, which together bring the region’s transition into the global spotlight. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study integrates a quantitative model analyzing renewable energy capacity trends with qualitative insights that contextualize the socio-economic and geopolitical complexities affecting this shift. Linear regression models reveal disparities in renewable energy progress, with the UAE demonstrating strong alignment with its targets, while Bahrain and Kuwait exhibit slower growth. The study highlights that global events, such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, have intensified fossil fuel demand, challenging the GCC’s renewable goals as it continues to fulfill its role as a major energy provider. Policy recommendations include investing in renewables, fostering partnerships, reducing subsidies, and introducing region-specific incentives to promote resilience, diversification, and welfare. This study offers actionable insights for policymakers on strategic planning and underscores the importance of global cooperation in supporting the GCC’s sustainable energy transition.

description: Interest is growing for 3D models of the biological mesoscale, the intermediate scale between the nanometer scale of molecular structure and micrometer scale of cellular biology. However, it is currently difficult to gather, curate and integrate all the data required to define such models. To address this challenge we developed Mesoscope (mesoscope.scripps.edu/beta), a web-based data integration and curation tool. Mesoscope allows users to begin with a listing of molecules (such as data from proteomics), and to use resources at UniProt and the PDB to identify, prepare and validate appropriate structures and representations for each molecule, ultimately producing a portable output file used by CellPACK and other modeling tools for generation of 3D models of the biological mesoscale. The availability of this tool has proven essential in several exploratory applications, given the high complexity of mesoscale models and the heterogeneity of the available data sources.

description: In den letzten zwei Monaten des Jahres 2018 erlebte Sri Lanka einen von seinem Präsidenten angeführten Putsch. Dieser war zwar nur von kurzer Dauer. Der Versuch allerdings, die demokratisch gewählte Regierung zu stürzen und den vormaligen Machthaber an die Macht zurückzubringen, hat schwerwiegende Auswirkungen auf die Aussöhnung in Sri Lanka. Zumal die strafrechtliche Aufarbeitung von mutmaßlichen Kriegsverbrechen und anderen schweren Menschenrechtsverletzungen ungelöst oder politische gar nicht erst gewollt ist.

description: As AI advances, human-centered principles are key to harnessing its benefits ethically. We
explore scaling human-centered AI to enrich education. Thoughtfully implemented, AI could
enable personalized, equitable learning and amplify teachers’ strengths, and also facilitate more
intuitive human-AI collaboration. However, benefits require mitigating risks around privacy,
bias, transparency, and social-emotional impacts. Multidisciplinary teams should research
embedding ethics into systems. Policymakers need to develop guardrails for privacy, fairness and
accountability. Schools should pilot applications cautiously and demand explainable AI. Diverse
voices must guide tool development to enhance autonomy and inclusion. With care,
human-centered AI may propel an educational renaissance that uplifts learning and the human
spirit. But we must build this future on moral foundations serving all students.
