description: Phenotypic plasticity in defensive traits is an appropriate mechanism to cope with the variable hazard of a frequently changing predator spectrum. In the animal kingdom these so-called inducible defences cover the entire taxonomic range from protozoans to vertebrates. The inducible defensive traits range from behaviour, morphology, and life-history adaptations to the activation of specific immune systems in vertebrates. Inducible defences in prey species play important roles in the dynamics and functioning of food webs. Freshwater zooplankton show the most prominent examples of inducible defences triggered by chemical cues, so-called kairomones, released by predatory invertebrates and fish. The objective of this review is to highlight recent progress in research on inducible defences in freshwater zooplankton concerning behaviour, morphology, and life-history, as well as difficulties of studies conducted in a multipredator set up. Furthermore, we outline costs associated with the defences and discuss difficulties as well as the progress made in characterizing defence-inducing cues. Finally, we aim to indicate further possible routes in this field of research and provide a comprehensive table of inducible defences with respect to both prey and predator species.

description: La salud es un derecho humano reconocido, por lo tanto debe ser asegurada por los estados que la consideran como tal, mediante la disponibilidad de servicios de salud, la conformación de condiciones de trabajo saludables y seguras, el acceso a una vivienda adecuada y a alimentos nutritivos. En este sentido, los sistemas de salud, así como las políticas, programas, planes y declaraciones, tanto de los gobiernos como de los organismos internacionales, organizaciones intermedias, como ONGs y entidades académicas, respaldan y se orientan hacia el acceso generalizado de los servicios de salud. La importancia de la calidad, si bien siempre estuvo presente en el ejercicio de la medicina, en la actualidad y desde el siglo XX, se ha propuesto como un tema de importancia estratégica para la transformación de los sistemas sanitarios. La calidad de atención en salud se refiere a la capacidad que tiene una institución sanitaria en brindar una atención dirigida a satisfacer las necesidades de los usuarios, la cual está constituida por un conjunto de características, las cuales combinadas, se encargan de cubrir todos los requerimientos de los usuarios. El propósito de la presente investigación, es conocer como evalúan los usuarios la calidad de la consulta médica, tomando en cuenta los indicadores de calidad como son: accesibilidad, disponibilidad de los servicios, competencia profesional, relación médico-paciente, entre otros.
Pointlike constituent quarks and scattering equivalences

description: In this paper scattering equivalences are used to simplify current operators in constituent quark models. The simplicity of the method is illustrated by applying it to a relativistic constituent quark model that fits the meson mass spectrum. This model requires a non-trivial constituent quark current operator to fit the pion form factor data. A model with a different confining interaction, that has the identical spectrum and can reproduce the measured pion form factor using only point-like constituent quark impulse currents is constructed. Both the original and transformed models are relativistic direct-interaction models with a light-front kinematic subgroup.

description: Variable speed of light (VSL) theories generically lead to large violations of charge conservation that can be written in terms of a dimensionless parameter $λ$. It is shown that the motion of the Earth with respect to the Sun could lead to a seasonal variation for the SAGE and GALLEX-GNO experiments and analyzing the reported counting rates for these experiments, a very stringent bound $λ\le 2 \times 10^{-19} $ is obtained, some $10^9$ times smaller than previous ones. Furthermore, a bound on the lifetime of the $\null^{71}{\rm Ga} \to \null^{71} {\rm Ge}$ charge-nonconserving decay in VSL theories is found as: $ τ_{\rm CNC} \ge 1.4 \times 10^{27} {\rm years}$. Similarly a new upper limit for the ratio of the charge-nonconserving to the normal weak decay of the neutron in VSL theories is obtained: $Γ(n \to p + ν_e + \barν_e) /Γ(n \to p + e + \barν_e) \le 2 \times 10^{-27}$.

Abstract: The identification of chimera which refers to a state of coexisting incoherence and coherence, in various complex dynamical systems is a challenging but essential task, given its new-found applicability in various areas, including neuroscience. Due to its widely varied appearance in different systems and the peculiar nature of its profile, a simple yet universal method for its identification remains an open problem. Here, we present a very distinctive approach to address this by using machine learning techniques, namely random forest, oblique random forests via multi-surface proximal support vector machines with tikhonov regularization, axis-parallel split regularization and null Space regularization and sparse pre-trained / auto-encoder based random vector functional link neural network, to characterize different dynamics and identify the chimera state. We demonstrate high accuracy in identifying the coherent, incoherent and chimera states from given spatial profiles of different underlying models. We validate this approach for different time-continuous and time discrete coupled dynamics on networks. This work provides a direction for employing machine learning techniques to identify dynamical patterns arising due to the interaction among non-linear units on large-scale, and for characterizing complex spatio-temporal phenomena in real-world systems for various applications.

description: The rate of long-duration gamma ray bursts (GRBs) has been identified as a potential proxy for the star formation rate (SFR) across redshift, but the exact relationship depends on GRB progenitor models (single versus binary). The single-progenitor collapsar model accounts for the preference towards low-metallicity GRB progenitors, but is in apparent tension with some high-metallicity GRB host galaxy measurements. As a possible solution, we consider the scenario where high-metallicity GRB hosts harbour low metallicity regions in which GRB progenitors form. For this, we use the IllustrisTNG cosmological hydrodynamical simulation to investigate the internal metallicity distribution of GRB hosts, implementing in post-processing different GRB formation models. Predictions (GRB rate, host metallicities and stellar masses) are compared to the high-completeness GRB legacy surveys BAT6 and SHOALS and a sample of high-redshift GRB-DLA metallicities, allowing us to compute their relative likelihoods. When the internal metallicity distribution of galaxies is ignored, the best-fitting model requires a metallicity-independent channel, as previously proposed by Trenti, Perna & Jimenez. However, when the internal metallicity distribution is considered, a basic metallicity bias model with a cutoff at $Z_{max}=0.35Z_\odot$ is the best fitting one. Current data are insufficient to discriminate among more detailed metallicity bias models, such as weak metallicity dependence of massive binaries vs stronger metallicity bias of collapsars. An increased sample of objects, and direct measurements of host stellar masses at redshift $z>2$ would allow to further constrain the origin of long GRBs.

description: We perform molecular dynamics simulations of short-range attractive colloid particles modeled by a narrow (3% of the hard sphere diameter) square well potential of unit depth. We compare the dynamics of systems with the same thermodynamics but different bond lifetimes, by adding to the square well potential a thin barrier at the edge of the attractive well. For permanent bonds, the relaxation time $τ$ diverges as the packing fraction $ϕ$ approaches a threshold related to percolation, while for short-lived bonds, the $ϕ$-dependence of $τ$ is more typical of a glassy system. At intermediate bond lifetimes, the $ϕ$-dependence of $τ$ is driven by percolation at low $ϕ$, but then crosses over to glassy behavior at higher $ϕ$. We also study the wavevector dependence of the percolation dynamics.

Bursting and quenching in satellite galaxies

description: The difference in stellar metallicity between red and blue galaxies with the same mass constrains the timescale over which red galaxies ceased to form stars. Here we investigate this constraint with the GalICS 2.0 semi-analytic model of galaxy formation. The advantage of this approach is that the time of pericentric passages for satellite galaxies and the mass-loading factor for galactic winds are not free parameters of the chemical evolution model. The former is determined by the N-body simulation used to construct the merger trees, the latter by the requirement that GalICS 2.0 should reproduce the stellar mass function of galaxies. When we compare our theoretical predictions with observations, we find that GalICS 2.0 can reproduce the observed metallicity difference only if quenching is preceded by a burst of star formation, which contributes to the chemical enrichment of the stellar population. Physically, this burst can be explained as tidally-induced star formation or as an effect of ram pressure, which not only strips gas from galaxies but also compresses it, accelerating its conversion into stars.

description: We study the dynamics of self-interacting scalar fields with $Z_2$ symmetry governed by a relativistic Israel-Stuart type diffusion equation in the vicinity of a critical point. We calculate spectral functions of the order parameter in mean-field approximation as well as using first-principles classical-statistical lattice simulations in real-time. We observe that the spectral functions are well-described by single Breit-Wigner shapes. Away from criticality, the dispersion matches the expectations from the mean-field approach. At the critical point, the spectral functions largely keep their Breit-Wigner shape, albeit with non-trivial power-law dispersion relations. We extract the characteristic time-scales as well as the dynamic critical exponent $z$, verifying the existence of a dynamic scaling regime. In addition, we derive the universal scaling functions implied by the Breit-Wigner shape with critical power-law dispersion and show that they match the data. Considering equations of motion for a system coupled to a heat bath as well as an isolated system, we perform this study for two different dynamic universality classes, both in two and three spatial dimensions.

To this end, we use our recently developed DREENA-A framework, which can accommodate any temperature profile within the dynamical energy loss formalism. We show that the ratio of high-$p_\perp$ $v_2$ and $(1-R_{AA})$ predictions reaches a well-defined saturation value, which is directly proportional to the time-averaged anisotropy of the evolving QGP, as seen by the jets.

description: We prove that any $n$-vertex graph whose complement is triangle-free contains $n^2/12-o(n^2)$ edge-disjoint triangles. This is tight for the disjoint union of two cliques of order $n/2$. We also prove a corresponding stability theorem, that all large graphs attaining the above bound are close to being bipartite. Our results answer a question of Alon and Linial, and make progress on a conjecture of Erdős.

description: Farmers who entered 1988 without inventories and experienced crop failure will bear most of the financial hardship resulting from the 1988 drought. Federal drought assistance will partially ameliorate these losses. Some farmers can maintain 1988 cash income by selling crop inventories at drought-induced higher prices. Most agricultural input and processing industries will be only mildly affected. Low stream-flow on the Mississippi River system caused grain transportation problems in late spring and early summer. The overall effect of the drought on the U.S. economy will be small, but some farming-dependent rural communities will experience substantial reductions in total business activity.
Generally covariant theories: the Noether obstruction for realizing certain space-time diffeomorphisms in phase space

description: Relying on known results of the Noether theory of symmetries extended to constrained systems, it is shown that there exists an obstruction that prevents certain tangent-space diffeomorphisms to be projectable to phase-space, for generally covariant theories. This main result throws new light on the old fact that the algebra of gauge generators in the phase space of General Relativity, or other generally covariant theories, only closes as a soft algebra and not a a Lie algebra. The deep relationship between these two issues is clarified. In particular, we see that the second one may be understood as a side effect of the procedure to solve the first. It is explicitly shown how the adoption of specific metric-dependent diffeomorphisms, as a way to achieve projectability, causes the algebra of gauge generators (constraints) in phase space not to be a Lie algebra --with structure constants-- but a soft algebra --with structure {\it functions}.

Calibration of service limit states for girder bridges considering permit vehicles
Creators: name: Zhang, He
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Overweight (OW) vehicles are known to have a direct impact on the deterioration of the infrastructure systems (Nassif et al., 2015), negatively impacting the service life of bridges. The serviceability and longevity of a bridge are controlled by the service limit states (SLSs). The SLSs for the HL-93 design vehicles have been calibrated in NCHRP 12-83 project (Wassef et al., 2014). However, for the permit vehicles which are increasing in frequency and weight magnitude, the SLSs have not been calibrated through similar procedures. Since bridges need to carry the permit vehicles, it is necessary to assess the safety levels for the current permit vehicles and their corresponding live load factors.Weigh-in-motion (WIM) sensors measure the truck’s axle configuration and weights, making it the primary source for developing design live load models. Although WIM can detect OW vehicles, it is difficult to differentiate between “permitted” and “illegal” OW vehicles by only interpreting the WIM data. This study incorporates the permit application database since 2011 in New Jersey and presents an approach based on the supervised-learning method to identify OW vehicles that are likely to be permit vehicles. The model validity is demonstrated by comparing data from 59 WIM sites to seven years of permit records issued. There is a significant amount of illegal overloaded vehicles that could potentially pose issues to bridges at service. Furthermore, using the proposed approach, the live load statistics of the New Jersey permit vehicle are derived to assist in applying a reliability-based analysis. Results show that, in the absence of actual permit data, this approach is more reliable in identifying or screening the permit OW vehicles for performing live load analysis. The approach is then applied to 10 WIM sites to find the multiple presence events for the permit vehicles and their load effects. Reliability-based calibration is performed to obtain appropriate live load factors for the Service II and Service III limit states for steel and prestressed concrete bridges, respectively. The statistical parameters of the resistance model are also determined based on existing bridge databases with various geometries and parameters. This study presents the assessment results and the calibration of the target service limit states in both design and evaluation. The assessment computes the target reliability index of the bridges based on the design vehicles and then calibrates the permit vehicles to reach the same reliability index. Results show that the current permit live load factor at the service limit state does not truly reflect the level of safety of girder bridges. The new target reliability indices are determined, and adjusted load factors are proposed accordingly.

description: Oftentimes decision makers have several forecasts of an uncertain and operationally relevant random variable. A rich literature now exists which argues that in this situation the decision maker should consider forming a forecast as a weighted average of each of the individual forecasts. In this paper, composite forecasting is discussed in a Bayesian context. The ability of the user to control the impact of the data on his composite weights is illustrated by an example using expert opinion forecasts of U.S. hog prices.

description: Background: Inadequate understanding of medical terminology, poor communication and lack of information affect women's ability to receive adequate care and to establish a relationship with the care provider. Objective: The purpose of the qualitative study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of the implementation of ORAMMA program and satisfaction of women who participated in it, but also to highlight the problems faced during pregnancy and childbirth. Methods: The sample consists of five immigrants and refugees who lived in a shelter and participated in the ORAMMA program during their pregnancy, in March 2018. In-person interviews were conducted with the participation of an intercultural mediator with an open-ended exploratory questionnaire. Results: The women who received care under the ORAMMA program were very satisfied with the provision of prenatal care, they felt very comfortable with the providers talking, communicating, and building a relationship, asking clarifying questions and understanding the reason for their care. Women also felt intimacy, respect, friendship, empathy and confidence to share problems and feelings. Finally, empowering them to familiarize themselves with the health care system has proven to be useful enough for women to be able to care for themselves.Conclusion: The provision of prenatal and perinatal care to refugee and migrant women offers significant benefits to pregnancy. Therefore, the provision of the ORAMMA program to migrant and refugee women is vital.

description: We derive the multi-field, micropolar-type continuum theory for the two-dimensional model of crystal having finite-size particles. Continuum theories are usually valid for waves with wavelength much larger than the size of primitive cell of crystal. By comparison of the dispersion relations, it is demonstrated that in contrast to the single-field continuum theory constructed in our previous paper the multi-field generalization is valid not only for long but also for short waves. We show that the multi-field model can be used to describe spatially localized short- and long wavelength distortions. Short-wave external fields of forces and torques can be also naturally taken into account by the multi-field continuum theory.

Les résultats sont tirés de deux études de cas. L’analyse qualitative des entretiens menés avec les éducateurs en milieu de garde et les enseignants de maternelle montre que l’inclusion entamée dans le milieu de garde semble difficile à assurer et à poursuivre lors de l’entrée à l’école. Des discontinuités existent entre les ressources et les moyens disponibles dans les deux milieux. L’inclusion est influencée par les croyances, les attitudes vis-à-vis de l’enfant ayant une T21, ainsi que par l’expérience des éducateurs du milieu de garde et celles des enseignants de maternelle. Enfin, un sentiment d’efficacité diminué chez le professionnel peut poser un défi, malgré les croyances positives à l’égard de l’inclusion.

description: The presence of a no-slip, impermeable, adiabatic, sloped boundary in an otherwise quiescent, stably stratified, Boussinesq flow generates baroclinic vorticity within a diffusive boundary layer. Such conditions are typical of the oscillating boundary layers on adiabatic abyssal slopes, sloped lake bathymetry, and sloped coastal bathymetry in the absence of high-wavenumber internal waves, mean flows, far-field turbulence on larger scales, and resonant tidal-bathymetric interaction. We investigate the linear stability of the oscillating flow within non-dimensional parameter space typical of the $M_2$ tide and hydraulically smooth, mid-latitude abyssal slopes through Floquet linear stability analysis. The flow dynamics depend on three non-dimensional variables: the Reynolds number for Stokes' second problem (Re), the Prandtl number, and a frequency ratio that accounts for the resonance conditions (C, criticality) of the buoyant restoring force and the tidal forcing. The Floquet analysis results suggest that oscillating laminar boundary layers on adiabatic abyssal slopes are increasingly unstable as Reynolds number, criticality parameter, and/or spanwise disturbance wavenumber are increased. We also show that the two-dimensional Floquet linear instability necessarily generates three-dimensional baroclinic vorticity, which suggests that the evolution of the gravitational instabilities may be nonlinear as $t\rightarrow\infty$.

description: Background We benchmarked sequencing technology and assembly strategies for short-read, long-read, and hybrid assemblers in respect to correctness, contiguity, and completeness of assemblies in genomes of Francisella tularensis. Benchmarking allowed in-depth analyses of genomic structures of the Francisella pathogenicity islands and insertion sequences. Five major high-throughput sequencing technologies were applied, including next-generation “short-read” and third-generation “long-read” sequencing methods. Results We focused on short-read assemblers, hybrid assemblers, and analysis of the genomic structure with particular emphasis on insertion sequences and the Francisella pathogenicity island. The A5-miseq pipeline performed best for MiSeq data, Mira for Ion Torrent data, and ABySS for HiSeq data from eight short-read assembly methods. Two approaches were applied to benchmark long-read and hybrid assembly strategies: long-read-first assembly followed by correction with short reads (Canu/Pilon, Flye/Pilon) and short-read-first assembly along with scaffolding based on long reads (Unicyler, SPAdes). Hybrid assembly can resolve large repetitive regions best with a “long-read first” approach. Conclusions Genomic structures of the Francisella pathogenicity islands frequently showed misassembly. Insertion sequences (IS) could be used to perform an evolutionary conservation analysis. A phylogenetic structure of insertion sequences and the evolution within the clades elucidated the clade structure of the highly conservative F. tularensis.

description: Two methods for building vector autoregression forecasting models are proposed. The first allows exclusion of intermediate lags; the second considers •the effects of jointly entering lags from different series into an equation. Live hog market models are developed and out-of-sample forecasting results suggest both methods have merit.

description: The distribution of day-to-day price changes for wheat, soybean, and live cattle futures contracts was examined for the period from January 1973 through December 1982. The results demonstrate a move toward independence and normality, suggesting option pricing formulae which assume normality may provide accurate representations of option values.

description: In inclusive dance settings, where people with different abilities and talents come together, the role of facilitators is essential in guiding the process of inclusion. Their behavior gives sensitive information to the individual about one’s status within the own-group affiliation (De Cremer, 2002, p. 1336). Even today, very little research on the motivation for facilitating inclusivity in dance contexts exists. This case study will examine the facilitator’s motivation by juxtaposing current theory next to experiences of seven experts of contemporary dance facilitation in Europe. Good opportunities for meaningful interactions can be created in a dance setting: it promotes a deeper sense of community, gives us the feeling of belonging, generates respect and inclusion, and helps to prevent the feeling of loneliness (Elin and Boswell, 2004; Kaufmann, 2006; Whatley, 2007). This research report sheds light on the motivation of being the facilitator of dance for heterogeneous groups and reveals three factors from the data. First, to be led by an artistic motivation, second, to have a vision in terms of changing the society, and third, to have another personal motivation. The motivation of the facilitator is regarded as highly important for inclusive work, as the person who facilitates plays a key role in these successful processes of inclusion (Miesera et al., 2019).

description: Experimental measurements in pA collisions indicate no D meson suppression ($R_{\rm pPb} \sim 1$) but a surprisingly large $v_2$. To better understand these results we propose a system size scan at the LHC involving $^{16}$OO, $^{40}$ArAr, $^{129}$XeXe and $^{208}$PbPb collisions. Using Trento+ v-USPhydro+DAB-MOD to make predictions, we find that the $R_{\rm AA}$ tends towards unity when the system size is decreased, but nonetheless, in the most central collisions $v_2\{2\}$ is almost independent of the colliding system. These results are analyzed in light of path length and initial eccentricity variations.

description: Η Πρωτοβάθμια Φροντίδα Υγείας (ΠΦΥ) αποτελεί βασικό πυλώνα όλων των συστημάτων υγείας, καθώς συνιστά την πρώτη επαφή του πολίτη με τις μονάδες υγείας. Παρέχει το πρώτο στάδιο αντιμετώπισης και θεραπείας και διαδραματίζει σημαντικό ρόλο στην πρόληψη. Η σωστή λειτουργία της συμβάλλει, τόσο στην ορθολογική χρήση των υπηρεσιών υγείας, όσο και στην ομαλή λειτουργία των δευτεροβάθμιων και τριτοβάθμιων μονάδων υγείας. Επίσης με τις παρεμβάσεις της συμβάλλει και στην αποτροπή εμφάνισης και επέκτασης νέων κρουσμάτων λοιμώξεων και ασθενειών στο γενικό πληθυσμό. Αν και η ΠΦΥ είναι δομικό στοιχείο των συστημάτων υγείας στη διεθνή κοινότητα στη Χώρα μας αποτελεί διαχρονικά αντικείμενο κυβερνητικών μεταρρυθμίσεων. Στην παρούσα εργασία περιγράφεται η εξέλιξη της Πρωτοβάθμιας Φροντίδας Υγείας των τελευταίων χρόνων και η σύνδεση της με τη δημόσια Υγεία, οι στρατηγικές από το Υπουργείο υγείας για τον εκσυγχρονισμό της ΠΦΥ καθώς συστάσεις για αναδιοργάνωση και αναθεώρηση.

description: Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία μελετήθηκαν δύο πλοία ως προς την υδροδυναμική τους συμπεριφορά. Το πρώτο πλοίο, το οποίο αναφέρεται παρακάτω ως «πατρικό πλοίο» είναι υπάρχον και εν λειτουργία σε διαδρομές στα ελληνικά ύδατα. Το δεύτερο πλοίο, το οποίο αναφέρεται ως «NEOPYGOS» σχεδιάστηκε έχοντας ως βάση το πατρικό πλοίο, με την βασική τους διαφορά να είναι η μορφή της πρύμνης. Ενώ το πατρικό πλοίο διαθέτη πρύμνη τύπου «twin gondola stern» το δεύτερο σχεδιάστηκε με πρύμνη συμβατικού σκάφους. Τα δύο αυτά πλοία είναι όμοια από τον μέσο νομέα και πρώρα, ενώ επίσης έχουν και το ίδιο εκτόπισμα στο βύθισμα λειτουργίας. Στην συνέχεια πραγματοποιείται μελέτη αποκρίσεων και στα δύο πλοία, προκειμένου να υπολογιστεί ποιο από τα δύο έχει την καλύτερη δυναμική συμπεριφορά στους κυματισμούς, καθώς και το κατά πόσο η μορφολογία της πρύμνης παίζει ρόλο στην υδροδυναμική αυτή συμπεριφορά.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Stochastic simulation is used to compare the probability distributions of revenues from soybean production for pricing with put options and fixed—price contracts. By applying safety first, expected utility, and stochastic dominance criteria, fixed—price contracts are shown to be superior to options for shifting risks under many, but not all, conditions.

description: Improving existing neural network architectures can involve several design choices such as manipulating the loss functions, employing a diverse learning strategy, exploiting gradient evolution at training time, optimizing the network hyper-parameters, or increasing the architecture depth. The latter approach is a straightforward solution, since it directly enhances the representation capabilities of a network; however, the increased depth generally incurs in the well-known vanishing gradient problem. In this paper, borrowing from different methods addressing this issue, we introduce an interlaced multi-task learning strategy, defined SIRe, to reduce the vanishing gradient in relation to the object classification task. The presented methodology directly improves a convolutional neural network (CNN) by preserving information from the input image through interlaced auto-encoders (AEs), and further refines the base network architecture by means of skip and residual connections. To validate the presented methodology, a simple CNN and various implementations of famous networks are extended via the SIRe strategy and extensively tested on five collections, i.e., MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and Caltech-256; where the SIRe-extended architectures achieve significantly increased performances across all models and datasets, thus confirming the presented approach effectiveness.
