description: The reduction of greenhouse gases from buildings forms the cornerstone of policy to mitigate the effects of climate change. However, the automation of urban scale building energy modeling systems required to meet global urban demand has proven challenging due to the bespoke characteristics of each city. One such point of uniqueness between cities is that of urban microclimate, which may play a major role in altering the performance of energy efficiency in buildings. This research proposes a way to rapidly collect urban microclimate data through the utilization of satellite readings and climate reanalysis. We then demonstrate the potential utility of this data by composing an analysis against three years of monthly building energy consumption data from New York City. As a whole, microclimate in New York City may be responsible for large swings in urban energy consumption. We estimate that Central Park may reduce the electricity consumption of adjacent buildings by 5-10%, while vegetation overall seems to have no appreciable impact on gas consumption. We find that favorable urban microclimates may decrease the gas consumption of some buildings in New York by 71% while others may increase gas consumption by as much as 221%. Additionally, microclimates may be responsible for the decrease of electricity consumption by 28.6% in regions or increases of 77% consumption in others. This work provides a method of curating global, high resolution microclimate data, allowing researchers to explore the invisible walls of urban microclimate which interact with the buildings around them.

description: Intelligent personal assistant systems with either text-based or voice-based conversational interfaces are becoming increasingly popular around the world. Retrieval-based conversation models have the advantages of returning fluent and informative responses. Most existing studies in this area are on open domain "chit-chat" conversations or task / transaction oriented conversations. More research is needed for information-seeking conversations. There is also a lack of modeling external knowledge beyond the dialog utterances among current conversational models. In this paper, we propose a learning framework on the top of deep neural matching networks that leverages external knowledge for response ranking in information-seeking conversation systems. We incorporate external knowledge into deep neural models with pseudo-relevance feedback and QA correspondence knowledge distillation. Extensive experiments with three information-seeking conversation data sets including both open benchmarks and commercial data show that, our methods outperform various baseline methods including several deep text matching models and the state-of-the-art method on response selection in multi-turn conversations. We also perform analysis over different response types, model variations and ranking examples. Our models and research findings provide new insights on how to utilize external knowledge with deep neural models for response selection and have implications for the design of the next generation of information-seeking conversation systems.

description: Globallyover 40 million people are estimated to be living with sexually transmitted infections (STIs), includingHIV/AIDS .The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude and prevalence of sexually transmittedinfections among young undergraduate students in a Nigerian tertiary institution.Descriptive cross-sectional study andmultistage sampling technique were used to get data from 210 respondents who were young adults in Auchipolytechnic. Questionnaires were self -administered to collect data on sexually transmitted infections. The data wasanalyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 26th version and the results were presented. Statisticalsignificance of p < 0.05 and confidence limit of 95% was used.Majority of respondents, 120 (57.1%) were female.Majority of respondents 180 (86%) possessed good knowledge on STIs. Majority of respondents had good attitudetowards STI 202 (96%). The estimated prevalence was gonorrhea 29(38.0%), syphilis 14(18.0%) ,among others.Knowledge and attitude was statistically significantly associated (p<0.001).Drug, alcohol and sex with commercial sexworkers the association was found to be statistically significant (p <0.001).Conclusively, the majority of therespondents were sexually active, with the larger proportion starting sexual activity at a young age and a high prevalenceof sexual intercourse. The majority of the respondents were aware of STIs and had a good knowledge score and attitudetowards STIs, however a sizable number of the respondents had multiple sexual partners which could invariablyincrease the prevalence of STIs, therefore there is need for STI interventions targeted to young adults and students intertiary institutions.

Subjects: X342 - Academic studies in higher education

description: The main purpose of this study is to investigate student retention and drop-out problems across UK universities, and to map the reasons for student drop-out, with the aim of reducing the student drop-out rates in the long term through learning about Chinese students’ strengths and success factors. There were four research aims that had been discussed in this study, including: the motivations of Chinese students to study in the UK and UK universities; reasons for drop-out; Chinese students’ success factors; and potential student retention strategies for other students. In this study, the researcher had chosen a mixed methods approach as the research approach, which meant that the case study had been used as a qualitative research methodology, and the survey had been used as quantitative research methodology. Consequently, the survey questionnaire had been used as the quantitative data collection method, and the interview had been used as the qualitative data collection method. There were 302 Chinese students from different UK universities who answered the survey questionnaire, and there were 6 Chinese students who attended an interview. This study makes significant contributions for academic researchers, UK universities, and Chinese student individuals. The findings of this study add to knowledge of the underlying causes of different drop-out rates among Chinese and other students, and this study also fills in the gap in the international academic literature in respect to the reason for the high retention rates of Chinese students within UK HEIs. Besides, this study not only focuses on the factors and methods that may influence and motivate Chinese students to become successful, but also discovers the motivations of Chinese to study in UK universities, as well as explores various potential drop-out reasons that for Chinese students through analysis of the literature. Therefore, elimination of gap in this research area creates a communication bridge between UK HEIs and Chinese students, and it also generates useful retention data from universities across the UK. Additionally, as Chinese students have better learning performances than most of other student groups, some insights of this study could provide useful information for UK university policy makers and university management teams to improve and develop future university retention strategies for different student groups.

description: Owing to their unprecedented electronic properties, graphene and two-dimensional (2D) crystals have brought fresh opportunities for advances in planar spintronic devices. Graphene is an ideal medium for spin transport while also being an exceptionally resilient material for flexible electronics. However, these extraordinary traits have never been combined to create flexible graphene spin circuits. Realizing such circuits could lead to bendable strain-based spin sensors, a unique platform to explore pure spin current based operations and low power flexible nanoelectronics. Here, we demonstrate graphene spin circuits on flexible substrates for the first time. These circuits, realized using chemical vapour deposited (CVD) graphene, exhibit large spin diffusion coefficients ~0.19-0.24 m2s-1 at room temperature. Compared to conventional devices of graphene on Si/SiO2 substrates, such values are 10-20 times larger and result in a maximum spin diffusion length ~10 um in graphene achieved on such industry standard substrates, showing one order enhanced room temperature non-local spin signals. These devices exhibit state of the art spin diffusion, arising out of a distinct substrate topography that facilitates efficient spin transport, leading to a scalable, high-performance platform towards flexible 2D spintronics. Our innovation unlocks a new domain for the exploration of strain-dependent spin phenomena and paves the way for flexible graphene spin memory-logic units and surface mountable sensors.

description: Diabetic cataract (DC) is a major cause of blindness worldwide. Prion protein (PRNP) was proved to be up-regulated and hypomethylated in DC samples. Here, we investigated whether PRNP was involved in DC progression in N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-dependent manner, and its potential mechanisms. Levels of genes and proteins were assayed using qRT-PCR and western blotting. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were determined using Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, 5-thynyl-2’-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay, and flow cytometry, respectively. Oxidative stress was analyzed by measuring the production of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA). The m6A modification was determined by RNA immunoprecipitation (Me-RIP) assay. The interaction between RBM15 (RNA binding motif protein 15) and PRNP was probed using RIP assay. PRNP was highly expressed in DC patients and HG-induced HLECs. Functionally, PRNP deficiency reversed HG-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress in HLECs. Mechanistically, RBM15 induced PRNP m6A modification and directly bound to PRNP. Knockdown of RBM15 abolished HG-induced apoptotic and oxidative injury in HLECs, while these effects were rescued after PRNP overexpression. RBM15 silencing suppressed HG-induced lens epithelial cell injury by regulating PRNP in an m6A-mediated manner, hinting a novel therapeutic strategy for DC patients.
Super-Affine Hierarchies and their Poisson Embeddings

description: The link between (super)-affine Lie algebras as Poisson brackets structures and integrable hierarchies provides both a classification and a tool for obtaining superintegrable hierarchies. The lack of a fully systematic procedure for constructing matrix-type Lax operators, which makes the supersymmetric case essentially different from the bosonic counterpart, is overcome via the notion of Poisson embeddings (P.E.), i.e. Poisson mappings relating affine structures to conformal structures (in their simplest version P.E. coincide with the Sugawara construction). A full class of hierarchies can be recovered by using uniquely Lie-algebraic notions. The group-algebraic properties implicit in the super-affine picture allow a systematic derivation of reduced hierarchies by imposing either coset conditions or hamiltonian constraints (or possibly both).

description: The first 1000 km of the ion tail of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko were explored by the European Rosetta spacecraft, 2.7 au away from the Sun. We characterised the dynamics of both the solar wind and the cometary ions on the night-side of the comet's atmosphere. We analysed in situ ion and magnetic field measurements and compared the data to a semi-analytical model. The cometary ions are observed flowing close to radially away from the nucleus during the entire excursion. The solar wind is deflected by its interaction with the new-born cometary ions. Two concentric regions appear, an inner region dominated by the expanding cometary ions and an outer region dominated by the solar wind particles. The single night-side excursion operated by Rosetta revealed that the near radial flow of the cometary ions can be explained by the combined action of three different electric field components, resulting from the ion motion, the electron pressure gradients, and the magnetic field draping. The observed solar wind deflection is governed mostly by the motional electric field.

description: The increasing number of space missions may overwhelm ground support infrastructure, prompting the need for autonomous deep-space guidance, navigation, and control (GN\&C) systems. These systems offer sustainable and cost-effective solutions, particularly for asteroid missions that deal with uncertain environments. This study proposes a paradigm shift from the proposals currently found in the literature for autonomous asteroid exploration, which inherit the conservative architecture from the ground-in-the-loop approach that relies heavily on reducing uncertainties before close-proximity operations. Instead, it advocates for robust guidance and control to handle uncertainties directly, without extensive navigation campaigns. From a series of conservative assumptions, we demonstrate the feasibility of this autonomous GN\&C for robotic spacecraft by using existing technology. It is shown that a bolder operational approach enables autonomous spacecraft to significantly reduce exploration time by weeks or months. This paradigm shift holds great potential for reducing costs and saving time in autonomous missions of the future.

description: We generalize the original majority-vote (MV) model from two states to arbitrary $p$ states and study the order-disorder phase transitions in such a $p$-state MV model on complex networks. By extensive Monte Carlo simulations and a mean-field theory, we show that for $p\geq3$ the order of phase transition is essentially different from a continuous second-order phase transition in the original two-state MV model. Instead, for $p\geq3$ the model displays a discontinuous first-order phase transition, which is manifested by the appearance of the hysteresis phenomenon near the phase transition. Within the hysteresis loop, the ordered phase and disordered phase are coexisting and rare flips between the two phases can be observed due to the finite-size fluctuation. Moreover, we investigate the type of phase transition under a slightly modified dynamics [Melo \emph{et al.} J. Stat. Mech. P11032 (2010)]. We find that the order of phase transition in the three-state MV model depends on the degree heterogeneity of networks. For $p\geq4$, both dynamics produce the first-order phase transitions.

description: The propagation of magnetostatic forward volume waves excited by a constricted coplanar waveguide is studied via inductive spectroscopy techniques. A series of devices consisting of pairs of sub-micrometer size antennae is used to perform a discrete mapping of the spin wave amplitude in the plane of a 30-nm thin YIG film. We found that the spin wave propagation remains well focused in a beam shape of width comparable to the constriction length and that the amplitude within the constriction displays oscillations, two features which are explained in terms of near-field Fresnel diffraction theory.

description: Anthropogenic activities have reshaped biodiversity on islands worldwide. However, it remains unclear how island attributes and land-use change interactively shape multiple facets of island biodiversity through community assembly processes. To answer this, we conducted bird surveys in various land-use types (mainly forest and farmland) using transects on 34 oceanic land-bridge islands in the largest archipelago of China. We found that bird species richness increases with island area and decreases with isolation, regardless of the intensity of land-use change. However, forest-dominated habitats exhibited lower richness than farmland-dominated habitats. Island bird assemblages generally comprised species that share more similar traits or evolutionary histories (i.e., functional and/or phylogenetic clustering) than expected if assemblages were randomly assembled. Contrary to our expectations, we observed that bird assemblages in forest-dominated habitats were more clustered on large and close islands, whereas assemblages in farmland-dominated habitats were more clustered on small islands. These contrasting results indicate that land-use change interacts with island biogeography to alter the community assembly of birds on inhabited islands. Our findings emphasize the importance of incorporating human-modified habitats when examining the community assembly of island biota, and further suggest that agricultural landscapes on large islands may play essential roles in protecting countryside island biodiversity.

description: We present observations of supernova (SN) 2017ens, discovered by the ATLAS survey and identified as a hot blue object through the GREAT program. The redshift z=0.1086 implies a peak brightness of M_g=-21.1 mag, placing the object within the regime of superluminous supernovae. We observe a dramatic spectral evolution, from initially being blue and featureless, to later developing features similar to those of the broadlined Type Ic SN 1998bw, and finally showing ~2000 km s^-1 wide H-alpha and H-beta emission. Relatively narrow Balmer emission (reminiscent of a SN IIn) is present at all times. We also detect coronal lines, indicative of a dense circumstellar medium. We constrain the progenitor wind velocity to ~50-60 km s^-1 based on P-Cygni profiles, which is far slower than those present in Wolf-Rayet stars. This may suggest that the progenitor passed through a luminous blue variable phase, or that the wind is instead from a binary companion red supergiant star. At late times we see the ~2000 km s^-1 wide H-alpha emission persisting at high luminosity (~3x10^40 erg s^-1) for at least 100 day, perhaps indicative of additional mass loss at high velocities that could have been ejected by a pulsational pair instability.

Internal auditing is a profession and activity that advises businesses on how to betterachieve their goals by controlling risks and enhancing internal controls. Internal auditing isthe practice of examining corporate operations or organizational problems and providing remedies using a systematic methodology. The primary responsibility of the internal auditfunction is to ensure that management official controls are implemented effectively. Theinternal audit role exists in almost every commercial organization or corporate entity, as well as in government, including federal, state, national, and local administrations, despite the factthat it is not required.Within the attitude of senior executives and the traditions of corporations and organizations, the task, quality, and strength of an internal audit role may range significantly (Badea, 2014).

The main objectives of our study were to determine the role of Internal Audit controls for good governance in Mogadishu Somalia. To explain the role of Transparent for good governance in Mogadishu Somalia. To discuss the role of Risk management for good governance in Mogadishu Somalia.

description: In this work, we propose a new loss to improve feature discriminability and classification performance. Motivated by the adaptive cosine/coherence estimator (ACE), our proposed method incorporates angular information that is inherently learned by artificial neural networks. Our learnable ACE (LACE) transforms the data into a new "whitened" space that improves the inter-class separability and intra-class compactness. We compare our LACE to alternative state-of-the art softmax-based and feature regularization approaches. Our results show that the proposed method can serve as a viable alternative to cross entropy and angular softmax approaches. Our code is publicly available: https://github.com/GatorSense/LACE.

description: The nonclassicality of quantum states is a fundamental resource for quantum technologies and quantum information tasks in general. In particular, a pivotal aspect of quantum states lies in their coherence properties, encoded in the nondiagonal terms of their density matrix in the Fock-state bosonic basis. We present operational criteria to detect the nonclassicality of individual quantum coherences that only use data obtainable in experimentally realistic scenarios. We analyze and compare the robustness of the nonclassical coherence aspects when the states pass through lossy and noisy channels. The criteria can be immediately applied to experiments with light, atoms, solid-state systems, and mechanical oscillators, thus providing a toolbox allowing practical experiments to more easily detect the nonclassicality of generated states.

description: We investigate the theoretical framework of the $\cos 2ϕ$ azimuthal asymmetry contributed by the coupling of two Boer-Mulders functions in the dilepton production unpolarized $πp$ Drell-Yan process by applying the transverse momentum dependent factorization at leading order. We adopt the model calculation results of the unpolarized distribution function $f_1$ and Boer-Mulders function $h_1^\perp$ of pion meson from the light-cone wave functions. We take into account the transverse momentum evolution effects for both the distribution functions of pion and proton by adopting the existed extraction of the nonperturbative Sudakov form factor for the pion and proton distribution functions. An approximate kernel is included to deal with the energy dependence of the Boer-Mulders function related twist-3 correlation function $T_{q,F}^{(σ)}(x,x)$ needed in the calculation. We numerically estimate the Boer-Mulders asymmetry $ν_{BM}$ as the functions of $x_p$, $x_π$, $x_F$ and $q_T$ considering the kinematics at COMPASS Collaboration.

description: Engaging with dissenting views, fostering productive disagreements or strategic anticonformity can benefit organizations as it challenges the status quo. The question arises, however, whether such strategic anticonformity ultimately leads to social polarization, which is not a desirable phenomenon. We address this question within an agent-based model of discrete choices. Using the way of modeling social responses in continuous opinion models, we propose a three-state $q$-voter model with anticonformity and bounded confidence. We analyze the model on a complete graph using the mean-field approach and Monte Carlo simulations. We show that strong polarization appears only for a small probability of anticonformity, which means that conformity combined with homophily enhances polarization. Our findings agree with results obtained previously in the group discussion experiment and within various continuous opinion models.

Bipartite mixed membership distribution-free model. A novel model for community detection in overlapping bipartite weighted networks

description: Modeling and estimating mixed memberships for overlapping unipartite un-weighted networks has been well studied in recent years. However, to our knowledge, there is no model for a more general case, the overlapping bipartite weighted networks. To close this gap, we introduce a novel model, the Bipartite Mixed Membership Distribution-Free (BiMMDF) model. Our model allows an adjacency matrix to follow any distribution as long as its expectation has a block structure related to node membership. In particular, BiMMDF can model overlapping bipartite signed networks and it is an extension of many previous models, including the popular mixed membership stochastic blcokmodels. An efficient algorithm with a theoretical guarantee of consistent estimation is applied to fit BiMMDF. We then obtain the separation conditions of BiMMDF for different distributions. Furthermore, we also consider missing edges for sparse networks. The advantage of BiMMDF is demonstrated in extensive synthetic networks and eight real-world networks.
Non-perturbative dynamics of hot non-Abelian gauge fields: beyond leading log approximation

description: Many aspects of high-temperature gauge theories, such as the electroweak baryon number violation rate, color conductivity, and the hard gluon damping rate, have previously been understood only at leading logarithmic order (that is, neglecting effects suppressed only by an inverse logarithm of the gauge coupling). We discuss how to systematically go beyond leading logarithmic order in the analysis of physical quantities. Specifically, we extend to next-to-leading-log order (NLLO) the simple leading-log effective theory due to Bodeker that describes non-perturbative color physics in hot non-Abelian plasmas. A suitable scaling analysis is used to show that no new operators enter the effective theory at next-to-leading-log order. However, a NLLO calculation of the color conductivity is required, and we report the resulting value. Our NLLO result for the color conductivity can be trivially combined with previous numerical work by G. Moore to yield a NLLO result for the hot electroweak baryon number violation rate.

An analogue of Schur functions for the plane partitions

description: An attempt is described to extend the notion of Schur functions from Young diagrams to plane partitions. The suggestion is to use the recursion in the partition size, which is easily generalized and deformed. This opens a possibility to obtain Macdonald polynomials by a change of recursion coefficients and taking appropriate limit from three to two dimensions -- though details still remain to be worked out. Another perspective is opened by the observation of a rich non-abelian structure, extending that of commuting cut-and-join operators, for which the discovered 3-Schurs are the common eigenfunctions.

description: Binary neutron star mergers (NSMs) have been confirmed as one source of the heaviest observable elements made by the rapid neutron-capture (r-) process. However, modeling NSM outflows -- from the total ejecta masses to their elemental yields -- depends on the unknown nuclear equation of state (EOS) that governs neutron-star structure. In this work, we derive a phenomenological EOS by assuming that NSMs are the dominant sources of the heavy element material in metal-poor stars with r-process abundance patterns. We start with a population synthesis model to obtain a population of merging neutron star binaries and calculate their EOS-dependent elemental yields. Under the assumption that these mergers were responsible for the majority of r-process elements in the metal-poor stars, we find parameters representing the EOS for which the theoretical NSM yields reproduce the derived abundances from observations of metal-poor stars. For our proof-of-concept assumptions, we find an EOS that is slightly softer than, but still in agreement with, current constraints, e.g., by the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer, with $R_{1.4}=12.25\pm 0.03$~km and $M_{\textrm TOV}$ of $2.17\pm 0.03$~M$_\odot$(statistical uncertainties, neglecting modeling systematics).
