description: What do binary (or probabilistic) forecasting abilities have to do with overall performance? We map the difference between (univariate) binary predictions, bets and "beliefs" (expressed as a specific "event" will happen/will not happen) and real-world continuous payoffs (numerical benefits or harm from an event) and show the effect of their conflation and mischaracterization in the decision-science literature. We also examine the differences under thin and fat tails. The effects are: A- Spuriousness of many psychological results particularly those documenting that humans overestimate tail probabilities and rare events, or that they overreact to fears of market crashes, ecological calamities, etc. Many perceived "biases" are just mischaracterizations by psychologists. There is also a misuse of Hayekian arguments in promoting prediction markets. We quantify such conflations with a metric for "pseudo-overestimation". B- Being a "good forecaster" in binary space doesn't lead to having a good actual performance}, and vice versa, especially under nonlinearities. A binary forecasting record is likely to be a reverse indicator under some classes of distributions. Deeper uncertainty or more complicated and realistic probability distribution worsen the conflation . C- Machine Learning: Some nonlinear payoff functions, while not lending themselves to verbalistic expressions and "forecasts", are well captured by ML or expressed in option contracts. D- Fattailedness: The difference is exacerbated in the power law classes of probability distributions.

Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Most natural language processing tasks require lexical semantic information. Automated acquisition of this information would thus increase the robustness and portability of NLP systems. This paper describes an acquisition method which makes use of fixed correspondences between derivational affixes and lexical semantic information. One advantage of this method, and of other methods that rely only on surface characteristics of language, is that the necessary input is currently available.

subject: Medical care Australia

description: Health partnerships have become commonplace in Australia following the introduction of mandatory partnering by Australian state and federal governments since the late 1980s. However, very little is known about how they actually perform as partnerships. This study describes the emergence of an Australian community-based health promoting partnership known as the Logan-Beaudesert Health Coalition (LBHC). The LBHC was a response by Queensland’s state government in 2005 to the increased incidence and prevalence of chronic disease in the peri-urban regions of Logan and Beaudesert, which are characterised by their cultural diversity and socio-economic disadvantage. This qualitative study contributes to health partnership research empirically, methodologically and theoretically. Alternative epistemologies and a new methodological approach are introduced under the rubric of critical social science. These were used to generate new descriptions and diagnoses of how the LBHC was being performed as a partnership. A literature review was conducted to examine what was already known about health partnerships. Studies of health partnerships were reported as being too data driven, undertheorised and more generally, as lacking empirical evidence and critical appraisal of health partnerships. Most studies asked, “Are health partnerships successful?” relatively few asked, “How are they performed as partnerships?” A review of the health partnership also revealed limited exploration of alternative methodologies and methods such as governmentality and ANT, which have the potential to enhance understanding of how health partnerships are performed as partnerships.

description: The variational field equations of Brans-Dicke scalar-tensor theory of gravitation are given in a non-Riemannian setting in the language of exterior differential forms over 4-dimensional spacetime. The class of pp-wave metrics together with the Brans-Dicke scalar field are used to derive the geodesic and autoparallel equations of motion for non-spinning test masses in Brinkmann and Rosen coordinates. The effects of the gradient of the scalar field on the auto-parallel equations of motion and Jacobi deviation equation are discussed.

description: We address the problem of sensing the curvature of a manifold by performing measurements on a particle constrained to the manifold itself. In particular, we consider situations where the dynamics of the particle is quantum mechanical and the manifold is a surface embedded in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. We exploit ideas and tools from quantum estimation theory to quantify the amount of information encoded into a state of the particle, and to seek for optimal probing schemes, able to actually extract this information. Explicit results are found for a free probing particle and in the presence of a magnetic field. We also address precision achievable by position measurement, and show that it provides a nearly optimal detection scheme, at least to estimate the radius of a sphere or a cylinder.

description: Throughout the course of the world history it has become very clear that the unrestrained black self is repugnant in the eyes of society, and as society demands that black culture strives for a more standardized aesthetic, theater can be used as a tool to educate and reshape these perceptions with a view to erasing reductions.

I’m interested in how the process of thought, by black people, shapes the content and form of speech patterns and therefore art creation.  How does a Eurocentric aesthetic and process of thought differ from African-based ideologies, and furthermore become implicitly forced and therefore standardized within our society?  In what ways are black people affected by the expectation and need to unnaturally contort our bodies, voices, narratives, and philosophies to fit within an alien structure, and what might be the benefits of acknowledging, and therefore appreciating, our inherent differences.

The state of being awake, whether literally or metaphorically, is the state of being aware of self. In this paper, I will further interpret the state of “being awake” to be active and attentively watchful of those entities that intend to reduce black development and self-actualization, and keep the black self in a spinning whirlwind of confusion, self-hate, lethargy, and self-doubt. I will also consider the position of self amongst a hostile and ever-changing environment that seeks to suppress and dehumanize in particular the black body.

As black people, we must be watchful to resist believing that our inherent truths are inferior as compared to the images that we see around us, and that our actual being—thinking and speaking—is unsatisfactory and unacceptable, and, therefore, lacking a worthy sense of beauty and sophistication.  Moving through the world as a black person, in this way—maintaining and managing the many variations of self that is needed to be accepted into society, can be taxing on one’s soul and can blur the ideas of where one’s authentic truth should begin and end.

It is my intention in this paper to explore this dichotomy between the wider society’s negative perception of black people and culture together with the ensuing effects on their own lived reality through the medium of theater and using the plays Funnyhouse Of A Negro and The Death of the Last Black Man in the Whole Entire World as prisms to spell out these ideas.

description: The Borel map $j^{\infty}$ takes germs at 0 of smooth functions to the sequence of iterated partial derivatives at 0. It is well known that the restriction of $j^{\infty}$ to the germs of quasianalytic ultradifferentiable classes which are strictly containing the real analytic functions can never be onto the corresponding sequence space. In a recent paper the authors have studied the size of the image of $j^{\infty}$ by using different approaches and worked in the general setting of quasianalytic ultradifferentiable classes defined by weight matrices. The aim of this paper is to show that the image of $j^{\infty}$ is also small with respect to the notion of algebrability and we treat both the Cauchy product (convolution) and the pointwise product. In particular, a deep study of the stability of the considered spaces under the pointwise product is developed.

description: This dissertation explores the nature of the Australian Choral Conductor. Through survey, interview and case study, the research aimed to reveal the attributes of the Australian Choral Conductor, particularly in relation to the skills and experiences that contribute to a conductor becoming an expert. The Australian Choral Conductor, it could be argued, is under valued and little understood. There are very few opportunities for Australian experts to remain as full time choral conductors within their own country. In some cases Australian conductors have moved overseas to take up choral conducting positions, and in the process have gained international recognition. This research investigated if there was a particular pathway to becoming a choral conductor, and if there were opportunities to remain as such within Australia. The research arose out of three defining moments in Australian choral music. These were the 1998 National Strategic Plan for Choral Development; and the 1998 ANCA survey research entitled ‘So you want to be a choral conductor?’ and the 1996 World Symposium of Choral Music in Sydney. Using a longitudinal frame, the research focussed on examining the cases of five eminent Australian musicians, probing areas of a conductor’s passion and reasons for becoming a choral conductor. The research also investigated the ways in which choral conductors’ training, knowledge and experience influenced their choice of repertoire and, in turn, their performance standard and level of expertise. The research examined whether there was a consistent way of determining how conductors’ choral practice is developed. The study went on to investigate why Australian conductors did not receive wider recognition as experts within the choral community, or within Australia in general.

Classification in Feature-based Default Inheritance Hierarchies

description: Increasingly, inheritance hierarchies are being used to reduce redundancy in natural language processing lexicons. Systems that utilize inheritance hierarchies need to be able to insert words under the optimal set of classes in these hierarchies. In this paper, we formalize this problem for feature-based default inheritance hierarchies. Since the problem turns out to be NP-complete, we present an approximation algorithm for it. We show that this algorithm is efficient and that it performs well with respect to a number of standard problems for default inheritance. A prototype implementation has been tested on lexical hierarchies and it has produced encouraging results. The work presented here is also relevant to other types of default hierarchies.

description: The world's population is constantly growing, leading to a dramatic increase in energy demand. Unfortunately, to meet this growing demand, we have been relying heavily on non-renewable energy sources such as mineral oil, gas, and coal, which have caused severe environmental impacts, leading to detrimental consequences for socioeconomic aspects, human health, and ecological balance. Furthermore, the production of downstream products and industrial processes, such as fuel, plastics, and packaging materials, and processing industries have also contributed significantly to atmospheric greenhouse effects and other environmental impacts such as ozone depletion, acidification, and eutrophication. To mitigate these environmental impacts, there is a dire need for efficient energy conversion technologies that can reduce our reliance on nonrenewable energy sources. Clean energy technologies, where zero waste production is the goal, are the need of the hour. Fuel cells, a technology based on electrochemical oxidation (OER) or reduction (ORR), are an example of clean energy devices used for regular utilities such as transport, stationary, and portable power. The critical component of these technologies is the electrode, which requires the ionic and electronic transport functionalities needed to influence the electrochemical energy barrier of the designed materials, composites, and assemblies, also known as an electrocatalyst. Transition metal electrocatalysts (TMEs) are the most widely used catalysts for clean energy conversion, and activating and optimizing non-noble TMEs for electrocatalysts is an alternative way to produce low-cost technology. Cobalt and nickel, two highly efficient 3d TME metals, have demonstrated excellent performance in OER and ORR. Therefore, developing efficient electrocatalysts based on cobalt and nickel are a promising pathway to clean technologies and reducing our reliance on non-renewable energy sources. […]

Testing Gravity with Gravitational Waves from Binary Black Hole Mergers: Contributions from Amplitude Corrections

description: The detection of gravitational waves has offered us the opportunity to explore the dynamical and strong-field regime of gravity. Because matched filtering is more sensitive to variations in the gravitational waveform phase than the amplitude, many tests of gravity with gravitational waves have been carried out using only the former. Such studies cannot probe the non-Einsteinian effects that may enter only in the amplitude. Besides, if not accommodated in the waveform template, a non-Einsteinian effect in the amplitude may induce systematic errors on other parameters such as the luminosity distance. In this paper, we derive constraints on a few modified theories of gravity (Einstein-dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, scalar-tensor theories, and varying-$G$ theories), incorporating both phase and amplitude corrections. We follow the model-independent approach of the parametrized post-Einsteinian formalism. We perform Fisher analyses with Monte-Carlo simulations using the LIGO/Virgo posterior samples. We find that the contributions from amplitude corrections can be comparable to the ones from the phase corrections in case of massive binaries like GW150914. Also, constraints derived by incorporating both phase and amplitude corrections differ from the ones with phase corrections only by 4% at most, which supports many of the previous studies that only considered corrections in the phase. We further derive reliable constraints on the time-evolution of a scalar field in a scalar-tensor theory for the first time with gravitational waves.

Structure and Ostension in the Interpretation of Discourse Deixis
Creators: name: Webber, Bonnie L.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper examines demonstrative pronouns used as deictics to refer to the interpretation of one or more clauses. Although this usage is frowned upon in style manuals (for example Strunk and White (1959) state that ``This. The pronoun 'this', referring to the complete sense of a preceding sentence or clause, cannot always carry the load and so may produce an imprecise statement.''), it is nevertheless very common in written text. Handling this usage poses a problem for Natural Language Understanding systems. The solution I propose is based on distinguishing between what can be pointed to and what can be referred to by virtue of pointing. I argue that a restricted set of discourse segments yield what such demonstrative pronouns can point to and a restricted set of what Nunberg (1979) has called referring functions yield what they can refer to by virtue of that pointing.

description: Background: To achieve climate neutrality, fundamentally new concepts of circularity need to be implemented by the building sector as it contributes to 40% of anthropogenic CO2 emission. Fungal biotechnology can make a significant contribution here and help eliminate fossil dependency for building material production. Recently, we have shown that the medicinal polypore Fomes fomentarius feeds well on renewable lignocellulosic biomass and produces composite materials that could potentially replace fossil fuel-based expanded polystyrene as insulation material. Results: In this study, we explored the mechanical, physical, and thermal properties of F. fomentarius-based composite materials in more detail and determined key performance parameters that are important to evaluate the usability of F. fomentarius-based composite materials in the construction sector. These parameters were determined according to European standards and included compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, thermal conductivity, water vapour permeability, and flammability of uncompressed composites as well as flexural strength, transverse tensile strength, and water absorption capacity of heat-pressed composites, among others. We could show that uncompressed composites obtained from F. fomentarius and hemp shives display a thermal conductivity of 0.044 W (m K)−1 which is in the range of natural organic fibres. A water vapour permeability of 1.72 and classification into flammability class B1 clearly surpasses fossil-based insulation materials including expanded polystyrene and polyurethane. We could furthermore show that heat-pressing can be used to reliably generate stiff and firm particleboards that have the potential to replace current wood-based particleboards that contain synthetic additives. X-ray microcomputed tomography finally visualized for the first time the growth of hyphae of F. fomentarius on and into the hemp shive substrates and generated high-resolution images of the microstructure of F. fomentarius-based composites. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that fungal-based composites produced with F. fomentarius partially meet or even exceed key performance parameters of currently used fossil fuel-based insulation materials and can also be used to replace particleboards.

description: Rare earth garnets are an exciting playground for studying the exotic magnetic properties of the frustrated hyperkagome lattice. Here we present a comprehensive study of the single ion and collective magnetic properties of the garnet Er$_3$Ga$_5$O$_{12}$. Using inelastic neutron scattering, we find a crystal field ground state doublet for Er$^{3+}$ with strong Ising anisotropy along local [100] axes. Magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity measurements provide evidence for long-range magnetic ordering with $T_N$~$=$~0.8~K, and no evidence for residual entropy is found when cooling through the ordering transition. Neutron powder diffraction reveals that the ground state spin configuration corresponds to the six-sublattice, Ising antiferromagnetic state ($Γ_3$) common to many of the rare earth garnets. However, we also found that $μ$SR appears to be insensitive to the ordering transition in this material, in which a low-temperature relaxation plateau was observed with no evidence of spontaneous muon precession. The combined muon and neutron results may be indicative of a dynamical ground state with a relatively long correlation time. Despite this potential complication, our work indicates that Er$_3$Ga$_5$O$_{12}$ is an excellent model system for studying the complex metamagnetism expected for a multi-axis antiferromagnet.

description: Objective: Infliximab-treated patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may respond insufficiently due to low serum infliximab (sIFX) levels, caused by anti-drug antibodies (ADAs). However, monitoring of sIFX and ADAs is not routinely implemented, and levels for optimal outcome have not been validated. We searched for predictors for sIFX Methods: In the SWEFOT trial, of 128 patients randomized to methotrexate + IFX therapy, 101 had serum samples at 3, 9, and 21 months that were analysed for sIFX [enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)] and ADAs [ELISA, and precipitation and acid dissociation (PandA) when sIFX > 0.2 μg/mL]. The primary and secondary outcome measures were low disease activity [LDA = 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28) ≤ 3.2] and remission (DAS28 Results: Categorization of sIFX levels into 7.0 μg/mL showed a dose–response association with LDA (30%, 64%, 67%, and 79%, respectively, p = 0.008) and remission (10%, 45%, 39%, and 66%, p = 0.004) at trial cessation (21 months). Female patients had sIFX 0.2 μg/mL, of whom three were ADA positive at other time-points, all with high DAS28 at follow-up. Conclusion: In early RA patients receiving IFX as a second-line agent, sIFX Trial registration: SWEFOT NCT00764725 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00764725).

description: Substandard housing has been associated with decreased physical and mental health, particularly among low-income communities of color (Jacobs, 2011). The aim of this analysis is to examine the relationship between housing risk factors and self-reported physical and mental health among residents in affordable and public housing units in the South Bronx. Methods: Participants (N = 304) were recruited from an affordable housing site and a public housing site in the South Bronx. Participants completed a survey that collected data on socio-demographics, housing conditions/quality, housing affordability, residential satisfaction, health behaviors (i.e., smoking), social connectedness, mental health, physical health, and perceived stress. A multivariate multiple regression analysis including both samples was conducted, followed by a stratified analysis for each sample. Results: At baseline, residents in public housing had lower self-reported physical health compared to residents living in affordable housing. In addition, on average, residents in public housing were older, had lower levels of education, were more likely to have needed repairs in the previous year, and more likely to have at least one chronic disease, when compared to residents at the affordable housing site. In the overall analysis, age and education were the strongest predictors of self-rated physical health, while residential satisfaction and education were the strongest predictors of self-rated mental health. In the public housing sample, age and income were predictors of self-rated physical health, while residential satisfaction remained a strong predictor of mental health. In the affordable housing sample, age was the only predictor of self-rated physical health, while post-high school level education was associated with better self-rated mental health. Conclusion: Community-based interventions and policies should be developed and implemented to address the multifaceted facilitators of good physical and mental health for those who reside in affordable and public housing units. To better support the health of residents and communities, particular focus and tailoring should be directed to older adults, those with low income, and individuals with lower education levels.

description: Herein, the THz mobility of charge carriers in low‐dimensional semiconductors based on a density matrix approach involving master equations for population and polarization dynamics is modeled. Pulsed THz fields induce intraband transitions between quantized subband states, creating polarization and subsequent charge transport that governs the electron mobility. It is shown that an equilibration current emerges—a purely quantum mechanical contribution understood via the Ehrenfest theorem in 1D—reshaping the low‐frequency mobility. Apart from thermal population, the results further demonstrate that the frequency‐dependent mobility becomes THz field strength and spectrum, as well as pulse width and chirp dependent, already at moderate THz probe fields of 1 kV cm−1, e.g., for 1D CdSe or GaAs nanostructures. The parametric nature of the underlying master differential equations for polarization and population, driving the intraband conductivity, results in a nonlinear, third‐order mobility and susceptibility, causing a nontrivial field dependence as well as power broadening even at moderate field strength. The obtained results are in good agreement with experiments. The observed high nonlinearities strongly impact the design and interpretation of THz charge carrier mobility experiments and further allow applications like coherent control, frequency mixing, or synthesis through a field‐controlled nonlinearity or high harmonics generation, especially interesting for future 6G telecommunication.

description: This research addresses three questions with respect to environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) investing. (1) Do ESG rating agencies weigh disclosure scores more heavily than performance scores when calculating total ESG scores? (2) If changing disclosure scores is easier for companies, have companies been able to improve them over time? (3) How can publicly-traded companies improve their scores given common rating agency practices? Using ESG Bloomberg terminal function, I compiled panel data on companies’ total ESG scores over time. I found that generally, rating agencies weigh ESG disclosure scores more heavily than performance scores. Specifically, Bloomberg ESG Disclosure scores improved over an eight-year time period. Publically-traded companies can improve their overall scores by restructuring their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reports using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standard and becoming more transparent about their CSR initiatives.

description: Many service robots have to operate in a variety of different Service Event Areas (SEAs). In the case of the waste collection robot MARBLE (Mobile Autonomous Robot for Litter Emptying) every SEA has characteristics like varying area and number of litter bins, with different distances between litter bins and uncertain filling levels of litter bins. Global positions of litter bins and garbage drop-off positions from MARBLEs after reaching their maximum capacity are defined as task-performing waypoints. We provide boundary delimitation for characteristics that describe the SEA. The boundaries interpolate synergy between individual SEAs and the developed algorithms. This helps in determining which algorithm best suits an SEA, dependent on the characteristics. The developed route-planning methodologies are based on vehicle routing with simulated annealing (VRPSA) and knapsack problems (KSPs). VRPSA uses specific weighting based on route permutation operators, initial temperature, and the nearest neighbor approach. The KSP optimizes a route’s given capacity, in this case using smart litter bins (SLBs) information. The game-theory KSP algorithm with SLBs information and the KSP algorithm without SLBs information performs better on SEAs lower than 0.5 km2, and with fewer than 50 litter bins. When the standard deviation of the fill rate of litter bins is ≈10%, the KSP without SLB is preferred, and if the standard deviation is between 25 and 40%, then the game-theory KSP is selected. Finally, the vehicle routing problem outperforms in SEAs with an area of 0.5≤5 km2, 50–450 litter bins, and a fill rate of 10–40%.

description: We present a new method for discovering a segmental discourse structure of a document while categorizing segment function. We demonstrate how retrieval of noun phrases and pronominal forms, along with a zero-sum weighting scheme, determines topicalized segmentation. Futhermore, we use term distribution to aid in identifying the role that the segment performs in the document. Finally, we present results of evaluation in terms of precision and recall which surpass earlier approaches.

description: We derive constraints on all possible general neutrino-electron interactions (scalar, vector, pseudoscalar, axialvector and tensor) using the recent real time Borexino event rate measurements of $pp$, $pep$ and $^{7}Be$ solar neutrinos. The limits improve several previous ones from TEXONO and CHARM-II for incoming electron and muon neutrinos, and are the first ones for the tau flavor. Future improvements by next-generation solar neutrino experiments are also studied. The limits extend the physics reach of solar neutrino measurements to TeV-scale physics. Finally, the different properties of the new interactions for Dirac and Majorana neutrinos are discussed.
