description: Los Castillejos de Alcorrín is situated between the Strait of Gibraltar and the Tartessian hinterland. The Phoenician fortress was built in the late 9th century BD and used for only about 100 years. The research at Alcorrín is part of a larger project on Phoenician Archaeology of DAI Madrid in cooperation with partners and institutions in Spain and Germany. A part of this project deals with the early contacts between the Phoenician and indigenous population at geographically distinctive places in the West of the oikumene. During the campaign of 2016 a rectangular house, severely damaged by erosion, was unearthed in the eastern part of the acropole. Its ceramic findings consist almost exclusively of handmade vessels of indigenous origin. The trench next to the house delivered among other things hints of metallurgical activities and a pit which was used for cultic purposes.

description: We examine variability of absorption line strength of intervening systems along the line of sight to GRB 060206 at $z = 4.05$, by the low-resolution optical spectra obtained by the Subaru telescope from six to ten hours after the burst. Strong variabilities of Fe\emissiontype{II} and Mg\emissiontype{II} lines at $z=1.48$ during $t=$5--8 hours have been reported for this GRB \citep{Hao07}, and this has been used to support the idea of clumpy Mg\emissiontype{II} cloudlets that was originally proposed to explain the anomalously high incidence of Mg\emissiontype{II} absorbers in GRB spectra compared with quasars . However, our spectra with higher signal-to-noise ratio do not show any evidence for variability in $t=$6-10 hours. There is a clear discrepancy between our data and Hao et al. data in the overlapping time interval. Furthermore, the line strengths in our data are in good agreement with those observed at $t \sim$ 2 hours by \citet{Tho08}. We also detected Fe\emissiontype{II} and Mg\emissiontype{II} absorption lines for a system at $z = 2.26$, and these lines do not show evidence for variability either. Therefore we conclude that there is no strong evidence for variability of intervening absorption lines toward GRB 060206, significantly weakening the support to the Mg\emissiontype{II} cloudlet hypothe sis by the GRB 060206 data.

description: Rydberg excitons in Cu2O can be an emergent platform for solid-state quantum information processing by utilizing the exaggerated properties of high-lying excited states within the material. To develop practical quantum systems, high-temperature operation is desirable. Here, we study the temperature-dependence of the yellow and green Rydberg exciton resonances in a thin Cu2O crystal via broad-band phonon-assisted absorption spectra between 4 K and 100 K. At 4 K, we can identify the principal quantum number n = 11 yellow and n = 4 green Rydberg exciton states, beyond which we are limited by the spectral resolution of standard absorption techniques. Above liquid nitrogen boiling temperature (~80 K), the n = 6 yellow and n = 4 green Rydberg exciton states are readily captured and higher-temperature yellow Rydberg exciton optical properties still exhibit the standard scaling laws seen at low temperatures. This promising result lays the groundwork for a new route to build a high-temperature Rydberg quantum information processing architecture with solid-state Cu2O.

description: Within the framework of the research project “The colonization of the Northern Badia (NE Jordan) in the Late Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age (4th to 3rd millennium BC): a contribution to archaeological settlement geography in the arid regions of Southwest Asia”, a second season of archaeological fieldwork was carried out in the basalt desert of NE Jordan in the spring of 2016. After unsuccessfully attempting to reach the hillfort site of Khirbet Abu al-Husayn on the eastern edge of the basalt desert, due to heavily flooded sections of the approach route, the hillfort site of Khirbet al-Ja’bariya was chosen as an alternative for a survey and small-scale excavations. During the fieldwork, all visible structural features at Khirbet al-Ja’bariya, which consisted of a fortification wall, dwelling structures and garden terraces, were identified and documented. Small-scale excavations conducted in two of the dwelling structures produced charcoal remains from fire places, which have yielded 14C dates placing the occupation of the structures into the second half of the 5th millennium BC (the Late Chalcolithic). Khirbet al-Ja’bariya is therefore the oldest known hillfort site in the region to date.

description: This book was one of three volumes from a series of 25 publications on the history and personages of early rural New Jersey reprinted by the New Jersey Agricultural Society as its contribution to the nation's Bicentennial Celebration. First published in 1949 and reprinted in 1975, the aim of "Pages from the past of rural New Jersey" was to publish illustrations of things that were used during the earlier days in New Jersey and to put on record data concerning their origins and uses. There are some utensils, tools, gadgets and other possessions whose functions can now only be guessed at by the present younger generation. Other things of early origins are still so well adapted to the uses for which they were conceived that they, or nearly identical types, persist as companions of our lives today.

description: 5. Orthophytum subg. Capixabanthus Leme, S. Heller & Zizka (2017: 70)
Orthophytum subg. Capixabanthus can be distinguished from subg. Orthophytum by its distinctly caulescent habit with sessile inflorescence and obtuse-cucullate petals, or if the plants are stemless with pedunculate inflorescence, and the petals not obtuse-cucullate, then the petals bearing cupuliform to sacciform appendages, pollen comparatively smaller with reticulum formed by broad and flat muri with lumina or foveolae decreasing in size significantly towards the sulcus margins, especially towards the apices, and the exine becoming almost psilate. In some species the sepals are unequal or nearly so, with the alate-carinate adaxial ones exceeding the ecarinate abaxial one, which is not observed in any other subgenera. Its geographical distribution is concentrated in Atlantic Forest related habitats in the centralnorthwestern region of Espírito Santo state and in neighboring areas in Minas Gerais and Bahia states, currently comprising eight species, including the new species proposed below.

description: The early years of laser hydrography have been traced by Guenther (1985). His review tracks the development of laser hydrography, now more commonly known as Airborne Laser Bathymetry (ALB), from the earliest theoretical and experimental efforts in the mid-1960's dealing with in-water lasers  and the first demonstration systems capable of detecting bottom returns  through the development of the first operational systems. The history was later extended to 1990 in a paper by Sizgoric, Banic and Guenther (1992).   Guenther further detailed this history and provided descriptions of operational systems in the Airborne Lidar Bathymetry chapter of The DEM User's Manual (Guenther 2001), which he later updated in the 2nd Edition of the User's Manual (Guenther 2007).  This chapter summarizes and updates these reference documents.

description: When the lidar pulse is transmitted out of the ALB system, it interacts with various environmental regions from the time of transmission until the pulse is reflected from the seafloor and received back at the ALB detector. Propagation of the lidar pulse, the change in its shape and distribution, and the light returned to the detector all depend critically on the inherent optical properties (IOPs) of the atmosphere, water surface, water column and bottom. The more descriptive apparent optical properties (AOPs) are also useful for characterizing the limits of penetration of the lidar in terms of perceived water quality.  In this chapter, the contributions of each of the main environmental regions and the key optical properties associated with the regions are defined. Optical concepts are briefly described here to explain the changes that a transmitted laser pulse undergoes passing through the environmental regions. These concepts will be used throughout the following chapters.
Stability criteria for q-expectation values

description: In statistical physics lately a specific kind of average, called the q-expectation value, has been extensively used in the context of q-generalized statistics dealing with distributions following power-laws. In this context q-expectation values appear naturally. After it has been recently shown that this non-linear functional is instable, under a very strong notion of stability, it is therefore of high interest to know sufficient conditions for when the results of q-expectations are robust under small variations of the underlying distribution function. We show that reasonable restrictions on the domain of admissible probability distributions restore uniform continuity for the q-expectation. Bounds on the size of admissible variations can be given. The practical usefulness of the theorems for estimating the robustness of the q-expectation value with respect to small variations is discussed.

description: The recently agreed Iranian-German joint program „Rabʿ-e Rashīdī“ in Tabrīz started with first systematic prospections, analyses and sondages around the fortress, focusing in particular the massive “South Tower” that was presumably erected in the 16th century by Shāh Abbās. Indeed, the area is carrying the name of Rashīd al-Dīn who founded here in the early 14th century a huge endowment inclusive mosque, university and other religious and academic institutions by order of the ruling Ilkhanid Ġāzān Khan. The agreement comprises support in the restauration of the visible still massive buildings and in establishment of touristic infrastructures since the city of Tabriz is elected as the Iranian capital of Tourism and Cultural Heritage in 2018, and is kindly supported by the president of the DAI, F. Fless. First investigations that focus the South Tower in the center of the area indicate a much more complex building history and possible secondary utilization of the bastion and its surrounding annexes. It appears most likely that we can find preceding phases of the whole complex earlier than the 16th century but also subsequent annexes and building phases that are not directly linked with the character of a fortification.

Whereas the material from the excavations was dominated by Iron Age specimens, the composition of the survey material is markedly different. More than half of the ceramics has been identified as belonging to the early to middle Islamic periods – meaningful expression of the significance of Arbil in the post-classical periods. In Germany, based on a rectified Pleiades satellite image of 2013, a 3D-model of the lower town area of Arbil was generated, indicating ancient topographic features suggesting a reconstruction of the perimeter wall of the lower town different from previous hypotheses.

Northeast Honduras is a little studied region in the interaction sphere of Mesoamerica and Southern Central America. Archaeological excavations in Guadalupe were realized with the aim of enlarging the data base about the settlement history and cultural developments of that region. The unexpected abundance of artifacts will enable us to refine the existing typochronologies of artifacts and will give us new insights into the interregional cultural relations of the late pre-Hispanic period.

description: In twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) a moiré pattern forms that introduces a new length scale to the material. At the 'magic' twist angle of 1.1°, this causes a flat band to form, yielding emergent properties such as correlated insulator behavior and superconductivity [1-4]. In general, the moiré structure in TBG varies spatially, influencing the local electronic properties [5-9] and hence the outcome of macroscopic charge transport experiments. In particular, to understand the wide variety observed in the phase diagrams and critical temperatures, a more detailed understanding of the local moiré variation is needed [10]. Here, we study spatial and temporal variations of the moiré pattern in TBG using aberration-corrected Low Energy Electron Microscopy (AC-LEEM) [11,12]. The spatial variation we find is lower than reported previously. At 500°C, we observe thermal fluctuations of the moiré lattice, corresponding to collective atomic displacements of less than 70pm on a time scale of seconds [13], homogenizing the sample. Despite previous concerns, no untwisting of the layers is found, even at temperatures as high as 600°C [14,15]. From these observations, we conclude that thermal annealing can be used to decrease the local disorder in TBG samples. Finally, we report the existence of individual edge dislocations in the atomic and moiré lattice. These topological defects break translation symmetry and are anticipated to exhibit unique local electronic properties.

description: [Abridged] The entropy distribution of the intracluster gas reflects both accretion history of the gas and processes of feedback which provide a further non-gravitational energy besides the potential one. In this work, we study the profiles and the scaling properties of the gas entropy in 24 hot (kT_{gas} > 6 keV) galaxy clusters observed with Chandra in the redshift range 0.14-0.82 and showing different states of relaxation. We recover the gas density, temperature and entropy profiles in a non-parametric way. Adding the hydrostatic equilibrium hypothesis, radial profiles are also obtained from the deprojection of the surface brightness, allowing to verify whether the hydrostatic equilibrium is a tenable hypothesis by comparison with the spectral measurements. We confirm that this is the case on scales larger than 100 kpc and discuss the deviations observed in few non-cooling core clusters in the inner regions. We show that the entropy profiles are remarkably similar outside the core and can be described by simple power-laws with slope of 1.0-1.2. We measure an entropy level at 0.1 R_{200} of 100-500 keV cm^2 and a central plateau which spans a wide range of value (~ a few-200 keV cm^2) depending on the state of relaxation of the source. To characterize the energetic of the central regions, we compare the radial behaviour of the temperature of the gas with the temperature of the dark matter T_{DM} by estimating the excess of energy Delta E = 3/2 k(T_{gas}- T_{DM}). We point out that Delta E ranges from ~ 0 in typical cooling-core clusters to few keV within 100 kpc in non-cooling core systems. We also measure a significant correlation between the total iron mass and the entropy outside the cooling region,whereas in the inner regions they anti-correlate strongly.

description: We make a detailed study on the $D_s$ meson leading-twist LCDA $ϕ_{2;D_s}$ by using the QCD sum rules within the framework of the background field theory. To improve the precision, its moments $\langle ξ^n\rangle _{2;D_s}$ are calculated up to dimension-six condensates. At the scale $μ= 2{\rm GeV}$, we obtain: $\langle ξ^1\rangle _{2;D_s}= -0.261^{+0.020}_{-0.020}$, $\langle ξ^2\rangle _{2;D_s} = 0.184^{+0.012}_{-0.012}$, $\langle ξ^3\rangle _{2;D_s} = -0.111 ^{+0.007}_{-0.012}$ and $\langle ξ^4\rangle _{2;D_s} = 0.075^{+0.005}_{-0.005}$. Using those moments, the $ϕ_{2;D_s}$ is then constructed by using the light-cone harmonic oscillator model. As an application, we calculate the transition form factor $f^{B_s\to D_s}_+(q^2)$ within the light-cone sum rules (LCSR) approach by using a right-handed chiral current, in which the terms involving $ϕ_{2;D_s}$ dominates the LCSR. It is noted that the extrapolated $f^{B_s\to D_s}_+(q^2)$ agrees with the Lattice QCD prediction. After extrapolating the transition form factor to the physically allowable $q^2$-region, we calculate the branching ratio and the CKM matrix element, which give $\mathcal{B}(\bar B_s^0 \to D_s^+ \ellν_\ell) = (2.03^{+0.35}_{-0.49}) \times 10^{-2}$ and $|V_{cb}|=(40.00_{-4.08}^{+4.93})\times 10^{-3}$.

description: All airborne lidar bathymeter (ALB) systems locate the bottom of a water body by tracking the progression of a short light pulse from its initial contact with the water surface through its interaction with the bottom.  The detected signal is the light backscattered by the water column, or reflected by the water surface or the bottom as represented by the waveform – a time-series of the return intensity.  All systems share a common set of design elements, face a similar set of design constraints, and ultimately rely on an analysis of a series of detected waveforms to produce a map of the bathymetry. The characteristics of the waveform depend both on the environmental optical properties – especially the water inherent optical properties (IOPs, see Chap. 2) – and on system design.  A major purpose of this chapter is to present a mathematical description of the process, incorporating realistic representations of the system elements and pulse propagation geometry.  Using a special implementation of the small-angle approximation, a closed form expression for the waveform is presented. This solution is then used to explore contributions to the observed waveform following adjustments in ALB system design and to examine implications of the model for calibration.  The chapter closes with consideration of eye-safety requirements and a discussion of the optimization and technical constraints and tradeoffs on system design.

description: Introduction: Pseudomonas aerouginosa is an important opportunistic pathogen which causes clinical infections among ill patients. Metallo-Beta-lactamases (MBLs) are important mechanisms of carbapenem (drug of choice) resistance among Pseudomonas aerouginosa isolates. The aim of this study was to determine B-lactamases genes (bla-genes) in P. aerouginosa isolates and to detect percentage of MBLs among P. aerouginosa isolates in different wards.Material and Methods: Clinical isolates of P. aerouginosa in patients hospitalized at Children’s Medical Center were collected in two years using a sterile swab. For differentiation and identification of strains the BHI media, Sytrymaid agar and Oxidase test were used and Kirby Baure method antibiotic susceptibility and PCR assay were performed for detection of bla-genes.Results: Based on the study results from a total of 269 isolates of P. aerouginosa, 39 isolates were found to be imipenem resistant. From these isolates, 19 strains of P. aerouginosa isolates were determined to be MBL producers by phenotypic method. All of the Imipenem resistant P. aerouginosa isolates were examined by PCR for the presence of the bla-genes. All MBL- producing isolates carried bla-IMP Genes. And the results of the antibiogram showed the greatest resistance to the Nitrofurantoin Nalidixic acid and Cotrimoxazole and Cefixime (100%) and resistance to other antibiotics was also significant.Conclusion: Considering the prevalence and clinical importance of MBL producing isolates, rapid identification of them and use of the appropriate infection control measures are necessary to prevent further spread of them by these organisms and to help treatment of Infections.

description: The Syrian Heritage Archive Project was launched in 2013 as a joint project between the DAI and the Museum of Islamic Art, Berlin. By creating a digital register of Syrian cultural heritage, it aims to preserve primary research data for the long term, and is gradually generating the basis for future work in the field of heritage conservation. Important archival records have been digitized and systematically integrated into the digital research environment of the DAI (iDAI.world). One of the most prominent data collections processed in 2015/2016 was the thorough documentation of the citadel of Damascus by the building researcher Hanspeter Hanisch.

description: Measurement underpins all quantitative science. A key example is the measurement of optical phase, used in length metrology and many other applications. Advances in precision measurement have consistently led to important scientific discoveries. At the fundamental level, measurement precision is limited by the number N of quantum resources (such as photons) that are used. Standard measurement schemes, using each resource independently, lead to a phase uncertainty that scales as 1/sqrt(N) - known as the standard quantum limit. However, it has long been conjectured that it should be possible to achieve a precision limited only by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, dramatically improving the scaling to 1/N. It is commonly thought that achieving this improvement requires the use of exotic quantum entangled states, such as the NOON state. These states are extremely difficult to generate. Measurement schemes with counted photons or ions have been performed with N <= 6, but few have surpassed the standard quantum limit and none have shown Heisenberg-limited scaling. Here we demonstrate experimentally a Heisenberg-limited phase estimation procedure. We replace entangled input states with multiple applications of the phase shift on unentangled single-photon states. We generalize Kitaev's phase estimation algorithm using adaptive measurement theory to achieve a standard deviation scaling at the Heisenberg limit. For the largest number of resources used (N = 378), we estimate an unknown phase with a variance more than 10 dB below the standard quantum limit; achieving this variance would require more than 4,000 resources using standard interferometry. Our results represent a drastic reduction in the complexity of achieving quantum-enhanced measurement precision.

description: The purpose of this existential-phenomenological study was to understand the meaning of the breast cancer/mastectomy experience. The meaning described in this study was the structure or common pattern underlying the unique experiences of six women who had had mastectomies for breast cancer at least two years earlier. These women were my co-researchers. The assumptions of many different approaches to breast cancer and mastectomy in the literature were explicated and their limitations indicated. No previous exploration of the meaning of this experience was found. My own assumptions about meaning were drawn out of my own experience of breast cancer and mastectomy. The interview questions were based on these assumptions. There were two interviews with each co-researcher. In the first set of interviews each woman gave a detailed account of her experience, which was tape-recorded. In the second set of interviews my co-researchers validated the results of the analysis. The analysis of the transcripts of the taped interviews was done according to the method used by Colaizzi (1978) in Existential- Phenomenological Alternatives for Psychology, edited by Valle and King (1978). Forty-one themes were formulated and described; these themes were aspects of the breast cancer/mastectomy experience common to all of the women in the study. On the basis of the themes, an exhaustive description of this experience was written, as well as a condensed description of the essential core of the experience. The results show a clear pattern of spiritual growth through suffering, a pattern remarkable in its detail and symmetry. Healing involved a profound change in the person through the discovery of the meaning of her life as an individual and a human being. My description gives a more complete understanding of the breast cancer/mastectomy experience than any previous approach. It lays a foundation for further research of a similar kind. It also provides a perspective and an orientation for counsellors of mastectomy patients.

description: We present an experimental proposal to achieve a strong photon blockade by employing electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) with single alkaline-earth-metal atom trapped in an optical cavity. In the presence of optical Stark shift, both second-order correlation function and cavity transmission exhibit asymmetric structures between the red and blue sidebands of the cavity. For a weak control field, the photon quantum statistics for the coherent transparency window (i.e. atomic quasi-dark state resonance) are insensitive to the Stark shift, which should also be immune to the spontaneous emission of the excited state by taking advantage of the intrinsic dark-state polariton of EIT. Interestingly, by exploiting the interplay between Stark shift and control field, the strong photon blockade at atomic quasi-dark state resonance has an optimal second-order correlation function $g^{(2)}(0)\sim10^{-4}$ and a high cavity transmission simultaneously. The underlying physical mechanism is ascribed to the Stark shift enhanced spectrum anharmonicity and the EIT hosted strong nonlinearity with loss-insensitive atomic quasi-dark state resonance, which is essentially different from the conventional proposal with emerging Kerr nonlinearity in cavity-EIT. Our results reveal a new strategy to realize high-quality single photon sources, which could open up a new avenue for engineering nonclassical quantum states in cavity quantum electrodynamics.

description: We investigate further a model of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars we proposed earlier. In this model, the X-ray-emitting regions of these pulsars are near their spin axes but move. This is to be expected if the magnetic poles of these stars are close to their spin axes, so that accreting gas is channeled there. As the accretion rate and the structure of the inner disk vary, gas is channeled along different field lines to different locations on the stellar surface, causing the X-ray-emitting areas to move. We show that this "nearly aligned moving spot model" can explain many properties of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars, including their generally low oscillation amplitudes and nearly sinusoidal waveforms; the variability of their pulse amplitudes, shapes, and phases; the correlations in this variability; and the similarity of the accretion- and nuclear-powered pulse shapes and phases in some. It may also explain why accretion-powered millisecond pulsars are difficult to detect, why some are intermittent, and why all detected so far are transients. This model can be tested by comparing with observations the waveform changes it predicts, including the changes with accretion rate.

description: The Haidai Region, centred over the modern Shandong Province, East China, is rich in archaeological sites and reveals a long sequence of Neolithic and Bronze Age cultures. The sequence analysed in this project comprises five cultural complexes from early Neolithic Houli culture to the early Bronze Age Yueshi culture. The existing chronology is based on pottery typology and cultural layer stratigraphy, with little input from radiometric dating evidence or systematic age modelling. This chronology is widely used for broad-scale correlations of prehistoric developments in China. In the current project, the chronology of Haidai region is evaluated by applying a Bayesian modelling approach to a set of 275 dates filtered from a dataset of 317 radiocarbon dates from the region. Modelling results suggest: the Houli culture started ca. 1200 year earlier then unmodelled; the hiatus between Houli and Beixin culture (unmodelled ca. 5500–5000 BC) can be closed; Dawenkou culture ends ca. 600 years later, Yueshi culture starts ca. 900 years earlier, resulting in coexistence of late Dawenkou, early Yueshi and the entire Longshan culture between 2700 and 2000 BC (modelled median-to-median duration). The modelled temporal overlaps of the Dawenkou, Longshan, and Yueshi cultures challenge the widely accepted unilinear cultural chronology of the region and emphasise the necessity for systematic radiometric dating.

description: We study the e^{+}e^{-} to phi pi pi reaction for pions in an isoscalar s-wave which is dominated by loop mechanisms. For kaon loops we start from the conventional RCHPT, but use the unitarized amplitude for KbarK-pipi scattering and the full kaon form factor instead of the lowest order terms. We study also effects of vector mesons using RCHPT supplemented with the conventional anomalous term for VVP interactions and taking into account the effects of heavy vector mesons in the K*K transition form factor. We find a peak in the dipion invariant mass around the f_{0}(980) as in the experiment. Selecting the phi f_{0}(980) contribution as a function of the e^{+}e^{-} energy we also reproduce the experimental data except for a narrow peak, yielding support to the existence of a 1^{--} resonance above the phi f_{0}(980) threshold, coupling strongly to this state.

description: According to the Letter of Intent on Cooperation between the Palace Museum and the German Archaeological Institute from 2015 both institutes intend to cooperate on projects focusing on ancient palace architectures. As the first project of cooperation, the so-called Crystal Palace (Lingzhao Xuan) in the courtyard of the former Palace of Prolonging Happiness (Yanxi Gong) was selected, because it represents a unique example of the influence of western construction methods and architectural elements on Chinese palace architecture. The building, begun in 1909, is most unusual for the architecture of the Forbidden City because of its choice of materials. We are dealing with a stone-iron construction with cast iron and steel supports for floor and ceiling construction, pavilion-like super structures with iron and steel profiles, even steel door casings and window frames. The Summer School comprised mainly the mediation of theoretical principles of building archaeology and early iron construction including its cleaning and structural improvement on the one hand and practical work on the object itself on the other hand. A first round of discussions was added to heritage values and possible forms of presentation of the ‘Crystal Palace’, which initially was planned to be an aquarium. Looking for architectural examples in Europe it seems plausible that some inspiration from western aquaria helped the vision of the last emperors of China of a modern fish pool with clear water to gain shape. Concerning the question if the iron elements just like the decorated tiles also came from Germany it is suggested that these were enveloped in the context of the contemporary building project of the Tianjin-Pukow Railway for which the major share of orders had gone to German firms.

description: Non-intrusive speech quality assessment is a crucial operation in multimedia applications. The scarcity of annotated data and the lack of a reference signal represent some of the main challenges for designing efficient quality assessment metrics. In this paper, we propose two multi-task models to tackle the problems above. In the first model, we first learn a feature representation with a degradation classifier on a large dataset. Then we perform MOS prediction and degradation classification simultaneously on a small dataset annotated with MOS. In the second approach, the initial stage consists of learning features with a deep clustering-based unsupervised feature representation on the large dataset. Next, we perform MOS prediction and cluster label classification simultaneously on a small dataset. The results show that the deep clustering-based model outperforms the degradation classifier-based model and the 3 baselines (autoencoder features, P.563, and SRMRnorm) on TCD-VoIP. This paper indicates that multi-task learning combined with feature representations from unlabelled data is a promising approach to deal with the lack of large MOS annotated datasets.

description: In the context of algebraic statistics an experimental design is described by a set of polynomials called the design ideal. This, in turn, is generated by finite sets of polynomials. Two types of generating sets are mostly used in the literature: Groebner bases and indicator functions. We briefly describe them both, how they are used in the analysis and planning of a design and how to switch between them. Examples include fractions of full factorial designs and designs for mixture experiments.
