description: Observations of polarization position angle ($θ$) standards made from 2014 to 2023 with the High Precision Polarimetric Instrument (HIPPI) and other HIPPI-class polarimeters in both hemispheres are used to investigate their variability. Multi-band data were first used to thoroughly recalibrate the instrument performance by bench-marking against carefully selected literature data. A novel Co-ordinate Difference Matrix (CDM) approach - which combines pairs of points - was then used to amalgamate monochromatic ($g^\prime$ band) observations from many observing runs and re-determine $θ$ for 17 standard stars. The CDM algorithm was then integrated into a fitting routine and used to establish the impact of stellar variability on the measured position angle scatter. The approach yields variability detections for stars on long time scales that appear stable over short runs. The best position angle standards are $\ell$ Car, $o$ Sco, HD 154445, HD 161056 and $ι^1$ Sco which are stable to $\leq$ 0.123$^\circ$. Position angle variability of 0.27-0.82$^\circ$, significant at the 3-$σ$ level, is found for 5 standards, including the Luminous Blue Variable HD 160529 and all but one of the other B/A-type supergiants (HD 80558, HD 111613, HD 183143 and 55 Cyg), most of which also appear likely to be variable in polarization magnitude ($p$) - there is no preferred orientation for the polarization in these objects, which are all classified as $α$ Cygni variables. Despite this we make six key recommendations for observers - relating to data acquisition, processing and reporting - that will allow them to use these standards to achieve $<$ 0.1$^\circ$ precision in the telescope position angle with similar instrumentation, and allow data sets to be combined more accurately.

description: Introduction. Undetermined strokes with an embolic pattern (USEP) represent a common phenotype. We assessed their frequency and compared USEP with cardioembolic stroke with a known source and non-cardioembolic stroke etiology.Methods. Study patients were 540 consecutive ischemic stroke patients admitted to Helsinki University Hospital with primary end-point of recurrent stroke in a 21-month follow-up. Cox regression adjusting for CHA2DS2-VASc and anticoagulation estimated the risk of USEP on recurrent stroke.Results. A total of 229 (42.4%) patients had a non-cardioembolic stroke etiology, 184 (34.1%) had a cardioembolic stroke with a known source, and 127 (23.5%) were classified as USEP. USEP patients had less diabetes and prior TIA, with more severe symptoms than the non-cardioembolic stroke cases. They were younger, had fewer comorbidities, and less severe symptoms than the cardioembolic stroke patients. Cumulative risk of recurrent stroke was 10.0% (95% CI 4.1%–15.9%) for USEP, 5.0% (1.1%–8.9%) for cardioembolic strokes, and 5.0% (3.0%–7.0%) for non- cardioembolic strokes (P = 0.089). USEP associated with a higher risk of recurrent stroke compared to non-cardioembolic strokes (hazard ratio 2.36, 95% CI 1.02–5.47; P = 0.046) and cardioembolic stroke with a known source (1.83, 1.07–3.14; P = 0.028).Conclusions. Despite their younger age and more favorable risk factor profile compared with other phenotypes, USEP exhibited a high risk of stroke recurrence.

description: For a service to be used in a commercial setting, certain service delivery functions such as monitoring, billing, authentication, etc need to be packaged with the service. Because of the growing number of available services and the diversity in their offerings, predefined service delivery functions like that offered by existing service brokers (e.g. StrikeIron or Salesforce) cannot be easily adapted and plugged in with the core service from a third party provider. The need is to have a lightweight service packaging platform that offers service providers the ability to create reusable service packages by assembling existing service delivery functions or creating new ones. In this paper we introduce the notion of service packages and a pattern-based approach to service packaging. We highlight what is required from a platform to have such service packaging capabilities, and detail a prototype platform that we have developed to meet these requirements.

description: In system analysis and design optimization, multiple computational models are typically available to represent a given physical system. These models can be broadly classified as high-fidelity models, which provide highly accurate predictions but require significant computational resources, and low-fidelity models, which are computationally efficient but less accurate. Multi-fidelity methods integrate high- and low-fidelity models to balance computational cost and predictive accuracy. This perspective paper provides an in-depth overview of the emerging field of machine learning-based multi-fidelity methods, with a particular emphasis on uncertainty quantification and optimization. For uncertainty quantification, a particular focus is on multi-fidelity graph neural networks, compared with multi-fidelity polynomial chaos expansion. For optimization, our emphasis is on multi-fidelity Bayesian optimization, offering a unified perspective on multi-fidelity priors and proposing an application strategy when the objective function is an integral or a weighted sum. We highlight the current state of the art, identify critical gaps in the literature, and outline key research opportunities in this evolving field.

description: This thesis explores the viability of bringing gesture recognition technology to the classroom environment to aid in teaching rhythm using the Microsoft Kinect camera. The use of movement games to teach rhythm in childhood music pedagogy dates back to the early 20th century with well-established methods including Dalcroze Eurythmics and Orff Schulwerk but the overall structure of public education has changed very little since then, creating an incongruity between antiquated teaching methods and the world of rapidly changing technology that surrounds the children of the 21st century. The need to make learning current and relevant has inspired many independent initiatives to use the Kinect in the classroom but there is very little literature formally studying its implementation. This study looks at the usability, with regards to rhythmic complexity and modality, of a gesture-based teaching aid using the Kinect with children ages 8 – 10.

description: Business process modeling and enactment approaches for services compositions provide a way to coordinate the activities performed by de-centralized entities such as web services. As business needs change, the defined processes supporting the business also need to change and adapt, giving rise to the need for flexible business processes. However, a service composition is a collaborative environment where the service providers, consumers as well as the aggregator have business goals to achieve. Safeguarding such goals can be a daunting task upon numerous runtime modifications to business processes, but it is necessary to ensure the viability of the composition with respect to the business goals of all the parties. Therefore the flexibility needs to be controlled but without unnecessary restrictions. In this paper we propose a novel architectural approach to model, enact and manage business processes and their changes based on explicitly represented service relationships of a service composition.

description: Objective: The proper handling of missing values is critical to delivering reliable estimates and decisions, especially in high-stakes fields such as clinical research. The increasing diversity and complexity of data have led many researchers to develop deep learning (DL)-based imputation techniques. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the use of these techniques, with a particular focus on data types, aiming to assist healthcare researchers from various disciplines in dealing with missing values.
 Methods: We searched five databases (MEDLINE, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, and Scopus) for articles published prior to August 2021 that applied DL-based models to imputation. We assessed selected publications from four perspectives: health data types, model backbone (i.e., main architecture), imputation strategies, and comparison with non-DL-based methods. Based on data types, we created an evidence map to illustrate the adoption of DL models.
 Results: We included 64 articles, of which tabular static (26.6%, 17/64) and temporal data (37.5%, 24/64) were the most frequently investigated. We found that model backbone(s) differed among data types as well as the imputation strategy. The "integrated" strategy, that is, the imputation task being solved concurrently with downstream tasks, was popular for tabular temporal (50%, 12/24) and multi-modal data (71.4%, 5/7), but limited for other data types. Moreover, DL-based imputation methods yielded better imputation accuracy in most studies, compared with non-DL-based methods.
 Conclusion: DL-based imputation models can be customized based on data type, addressing the corresponding missing patterns, and its associated "integrated" strategy can enhance the efficacy of imputation, especially in scenarios where data is complex. Future research may focus on the portability and fairness of DL-based models for healthcare data imputation.

description: This study investigates two-stage plans based on nonparametric procedures for estimating an inverse regression function at a given point. Specifically, isotonic regression is used at stage one to obtain an initial estimate followed by another round of isotonic regression in the vicinity of this estimate at stage two. It is shown that such two-stage plans accelerate the convergence rate of one-stage procedures and are superior to existing two-stage procedures that use local parametric approximations at stage two when the available budget is moderate and/or the regression function is “ill-behaved.” Both Wald- and likelihood ratio-type confidence intervals for the threshold value of interest are investigated and the latter are recommended in applications due to their simplicity and robustness. The developed plans are illustrated through a comprehensive simulation study and an application to car fuel efficiency data.

description: Recent years have seen a sharp rise in adblocker use, driven by increased web tracking and personalized ads. However, a significant issue for adblocker users is the web breakages they encounter, which worsens their browsing experience and often leads them to turn off their adblockers. Despite efforts by filter list maintainers to create rules that minimize these breakages, they remain a common issue. Our research aims to assess the extent of web breakages caused by adblocking on live sites using automated tools, attempting to establish a baseline for these disruptions. The study also outlines the challenges and limitations encountered when measuring web breakages in real-time. The current automated crawler's inability to consistently navigate a vast array of websites, combined with the unpredictable nature of web content, makes this research particularly difficult. We have identified several key findings related to web breakages in our preliminary study, which we intend to delve deeper into in future research.

C57BL/6 male mice were pre-treated with a single dose (100 or 50 mg/kg, 30 min prior) of sesamol through the intraperitoneal route and exposed to LD50/30 (7.5 Gy) and sublethal (5 Gy) dose of γ-radiation. Thirty-day survival against 7.5 Gy was monitored. Sesamol (100 mg/kg) pre-treatment reduced radiation-induced mortality and resulted survival of about 100% against 7.5 Gy of γ-irradiation. Whole-body irradiation drastically depleted hematopoietic progenitor stem cells in bone marrow, B cells, T cell subpopulations, and splenocyte proliferation in the spleen on day 4, which were significantly protected in sesamol pre-treated mice. This was associated with a decrease of radiation-induced micronuclei (MN) and apoptosis in bone marrow and spleen, respectively. Sesamol pre-treatment inhibited lipid peroxidation, translocation of gut bacteria to spleen, liver, and kidney, and enhanced regeneration of crypt cells in the GI system. In addition, sesamol pre-treatment reduced the radiation-induced pattern of expression of p53 and Bax apoptotic proteins in the bone marrow, spleen, and GI. This reduction in apoptotic proteins was associated with the increased anti-apoptotic-Bcl-x and PCNA proteins. Further, assessment of antioxidant capacity using ABTS and DPPH assays revealed that sesamol treatment alleviated total antioxidant capacity in spleen and GI tissue. In conclusion, the results of the present study suggested that sesamol as a single prophylactic dose protects hematopoietic and GI systems against γ-radiation-induced injury in mice.

description: The Chinese venture capital (VC) market is a young and rapidly expanding financial subsector. Gaining a deeper understanding of the investment behaviours of VC firms is crucial for the development of a more sustainable and healthier market and economy. Contrasting evidence supports that either specialisation or diversification helps to achieve a better investment performance. However, the impact of the syndication network is overlooked. Syndication network has a great influence on the propagation of information and trust. By exploiting an authoritative VC dataset of thirty-five-year investment information in China, we construct a joint-investment network of VC firms and analyse the effects of syndication and diversification on specialisation and investment performance. There is a clear correlation between the syndication network degree and specialisation level of VC firms, which implies that the well-connected VC firms are diversified. More connections generally bring about more information or other resources, and VC firms are more likely to enter a new stage or industry with some new co-investing VC firms when compared to a randomised null model. Moreover, autocorrelation analysis of both specialisation and success rate on the syndication network indicates that clustering of similar VC firms is roughly limited to the secondary neighbourhood. When analysing local clustering patterns, we discover that, contrary to popular beliefs, there is no apparent successful club of investors. In contrast, investors with low success rates are more likely to cluster. Our discoveries enrich the understanding of VC investment behaviours and can assist policymakers in designing better strategies to promote the development of the VC industry.

description: Well-known results in neuroscience suggest that consciousness may not be part of the causal chain leading to action in humans, providing evidence against free will. However, those results focus on arbitrary, meaningless decisions (e.g., raising your left/right hand for no reason or purpose) while the free-will debate focuses on deliberate decisions (e.g., selecting a charity to donate). We show that there might be different neural mechanisms for deliberate and arbitrary decisions, and thus that these famous results may not generalize from arbitrary to deliberate decisions challenging their applicability to the free-will debate.

description: Spell-checkers are valuable tools that enhance communication by identifying misspelled words in written texts. Recent improvements in deep learning, and in particular in large language models, have opened new opportunities to improve traditional spell-checkers with new functionalities that not only assess spelling correctness but also the suitability of a word for a given context. In our work, we present and compare two new spell-checkers and evaluate them on synthetic, learner, and more general-domain Slovene datasets. The first spell-checker is a traditional, fast, word-based approach, based on a morphological lexicon with a significantly larger word list compared to existing spell-checkers. The second approach uses a language model trained on a large corpus with synthetically inserted errors. We present the training data construction strategies, which turn out to be a crucial component of neural spell-checkers. Further, the proposed neural model significantly outperforms all existing spell-checkers for Slovene in both precision and recall.

description: In Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery model a vendor maintains a single application instance, which is used by multiple tenants. However, due to changing business requirements tenants expect customizations. Providing such customizations is trivial to retain tenants but a challenge to the vendor due to multi-tenancy. In this paper we present an approach to define such customizable business processes in multi-tenant SaaS applications without unnecessary and hard to maintain duplication of process definitions and deployments.

description: The stability of circulating miRNAs, their non-invasive sampling techniques and deregulation in diseases make them potential candidate biomarkers of biological effect. Here, we profiled the level of 84 plasma miRNAs in 30 smokers, 20 non-smokers and 20 ex-smokers. A robust statistical strategy was applied with replicate samples to account for reproducibility of the results. We identified differential expression of miR-124 and let-7a between the smoking and control groups. We further explored the dose–response relationship of miR-124 and let-7a with two biomarkers of tobacco exposure and found that this relationship was affected by adjustments based on age, pack-year and gender.

description: Band-to-band tunnelling field-effect transistors (TFETs) have long been considered as promising candidates for future low-power logic applications. However, fabricated TFETs rarely reach sub-60 mV/dec sub-threshold swings (SS) at room temperature. Previous theoretical studies identified Auger processes as possible mechanisms for the observed degradation of SS. Through first-principles quantum transport simulations incorporating carrier-carrier interactions within the Non-equilibrium Green's Function formalism and self-consistent GW approximation, we confirm here that Auger processes are indeed at least partly responsible for the poor performance of TFETs. Using a carbon nanotube TFET as testbed, we show that carrier-carrier scattering alone significantly increases the OFF-state current of these devices, thus worsening their sub-threshold behavior.

description: We introduce an efficient first-order primal-dual method for the solution of nonsmooth PDE-constrained optimization problems. We achieve this efficiency through not solving the PDE or its linearisation on each iteration of the optimization method. Instead, we run the method interwoven with a simple conventional linear system solver (Jacobi, Gauss-Seidel, conjugate gradients), always taking only one step of the linear system solver for each step of the optimization method. The control parameter is updated on each iteration as determined by the optimization method. We prove linear convergence under a second-order growth condition, and numerically demonstrate the performance on a variety of PDEs related to inverse problems involving boundary measurements.

description: A recently developed new approach, called ``Empirical Wavelet Transform'', aims to build 1D adaptive wavelet frames accordingly to the analyzed signal. In this paper, we present several extensions of this approach to 2D signals (images). We revisit some well-known transforms (tensor wavelets, Littlewood-Paley wavelets, ridgelets and curvelets) and show that it is possible to build their empirical counterpart. We prove that such constructions lead to different adaptive frames which show some promising properties for image analysis and processing.

description: Some recent methods, like the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), propose to decompose a signal accordingly to its contained information. Even though its adaptability seems useful for many applications, the main issue with this approach is its lack of theory. This paper presents a new approach to build adaptive wavelets. The main idea is to extract the different modes of a signal by designing an appropriate wavelet filter bank. This construction leads us to a new wavelet transform, called the empirical wavelet transform. Many experiments are presented showing the usefulness of this method compared to the classic EMD.

description: How the spacetime evolved non-perturbatively in a landscape with multiple anti-de Sitter (AdS) vacua, which is theoretically well-motivated, has always been a matter of concern. As a step towards this issue, we perform (3+1)D numerical relativity simulations for the inhomogeneous universe in an AdS landscape, and find that large inhomogeneity of scalar field can develop into not only sphere-like bubbles, but also novel tube-like structures. It is observed that the bubble or tube wall (across the potential barrier) likely inflates as a quasi-dS space, while the different regions separated by the walls are in different AdS vacua and will collapse towards singularity.
