description: Understanding the transport of particles immersed in a carrier fluid (bedload transport) is still an exciting challenge. Among the different types of gas-solid flows, when the dynamics of solid particles is essentially dominated by collisions between them, kinetic theory can be considered as a reliable tool to derive continuum approaches from a fundamental point of view. In a recent paper, Chassagne et al. [J. Fluid Mech. 964, A27, (2023)] have proposed a two-fluid model based on modifications to a classical kinetic theory model. First, in contrast to the classical model, the model proposed by Chassagne et al. (2023) takes into account the interparticle friction not only in the radial distribution function but also through an effective restitution coefficient in the rate of dissipation term of granular temperature. As a second modification, at the top of the bed where the volume fraction is quite small, the model accounts for the saltation regime in the continuum framework. The theoretical results derived from the model agree with discrete simulations for moderate and high densities and they are also consistent with experiments. Thus, the model proposed by Chassagne et al. (2023) helps to a better understanding on the combined impact of friction and inelasticity on the macroscopic properties of granular flows.

description: We consider the search for a maximum likelihood assignment of hidden derivations and grammar weights for a probabilistic context-free grammar, the problem approximately solved by “Viterbi training.” We show that solving and even approximating Viterbi training for PCFGs is NP-hard. We motivate the use of uniformat-random initialization for Viterbi EM as an optimal initializer in absence of further information about the correct model parameters, providing an approximate bound on the log-likelihood.

description: A rapid, or prompt response, of an electromagnetic nature, is found in an elastic wave scattering experiment. The experiment is performed with torsional elastic waves in a quasi-one-dimensional cavity with one port, formed by a notch grooved at a certain distance from the free end of a beam. The stationary patterns are diminished using a passive vibration isolation system at the other end of the beam. The measurement of the resonances is performed with non-contact electromagnetic-acoustic transducers outside the cavity. In the Argand plane, each resonance describes a circle over a base impedance curve which comes from the electromagnetic components of the equipment. A model, based on a variation of Poisson's kernel is developed. Excellent agreement between theory and experiment is obtained.

description: Voice Of the People (VOP) is a nonpartisan organization working to re-anchor our democracy in its founding principles by giving ‘We the People’ a greater and more effective voice in government. VOP champions innovative methods and technology – notably online public consultations – that enable the American people to play a role in the policymaking process and provide policymakers with a more accurate understanding of the views of their constituents. The Program for Public Conultation conducts policymaking simulations, which are an online process that puts citizens in the shoes of elected officials by simulating the process they go through in making policy decisions. Each simulation introduces a broader policy topic and then presents a series of modules that address a specific policy option that is currently under consideration in the current discourse. For each module, respondents: 1) receive a short briefing on a policy issue and the option or options for addressing it; 2) evaluate arguments for and against the policy options; and 3) finally, make their recommendation for what their elected officials should do.
description: In March of 2022, Russia launched a full invasion of Ukraine. The United Nations, including the US, quickly declared this invasion to be an act of aggression that violates Ukraine’s national sovereignty as guaranteed by the UN Charter. The invasion triggered a series of debates over the US’ role in this conflict: ● the degree of US intervention, if any; ● how to weigh any benefits of intervention against the risk of Russia escalating to nuclear attacks; ● whether to press Ukraine to enter peace negotiations, and if so, under what conditions. A bipartisan majority of seven-in-ten voters favor the US continuing to provide significant military aid to Ukraine to help in their ongoing war with Russia, according to an in-depth study by the Program for Public Consultation together with the Center for International and Security Studies at the University of Maryland’s School of Public Policy. Continuing to provide military aid to Ukraine, including military equipment, ammunition, training and intelligence, was favored by 69%, including 55% of Republicans, 87% of Democrats and 58% of independents. The sample was large enough to enable analysis of attitudes in very Republican and very Democratic districts based on Cook PVI ratings. In both very red and very blue congressional districts, equally large majorities (71%) favored continuing military aid.

description: The family is one of the most important links in our society. The health of young families is one of the nation's most important social issues. Health screening of young people who marry before they start a family is the first step toward building strong families. Family is the main link of human life. Medical examination of the bride and groom before marriage ensures the strength of the new family and the well-being of the unborn children. In accordance with the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated August 25, 2003 "On approval of the regulation on medical examination of married persons", future brides and grooms will undergo a free medical examination. The main goal of medical examination of married persons is to prevent hereditary and reproductive diseases, to create a healthy environment in the family.

description: The fact that the clustering of dark matter halos depends not only on their mass, but also the formation epoch, is a prominent, albeit subtle, feature of the cold dark matter structure formation theory, and is known as assembly bias. At low mass scales ($\sim 10^{12}\,h^{-1}M_\odot$), early-forming halos are predicted to be more strongly clustered than the late-forming ones. In this study we aim to robustly detect the signature of assembly bias observationally, making use of formation time indicators of central galaxies in low mass halos as a proxy for the halo formation history. Weak gravitational lensing is employed to ensure our early- and late-forming halo samples have similar masses, and are free of contamination of satellites from more massive halos. For the two formation time indicators used (resolved star formation history and current specific star formation rate), we do not find convincing evidence of assembly bias. For a pair of early- and late-forming galaxy samples with mean mass $M_{200c} \approx 9\times10^{11}\,h^{-1}M_\odot$, the relative bias is $1.00\pm 0.12$. We attribute the lack of detection to the possibilities that either the current measurements of these indicators are too noisy, or they do not correlate well with the halo formation history. Alternative proxies for the halo formation history that should perform better are suggested for future studies.

Year: 2020

description: NOvA, a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, has made new measurements of the oscillations of neutrinos and anti-neutrinos. Key to these measurements is the use of machine learning algorithms that use topological features to reconstruct neutrino interaction flavor and particle identity. NOvA's latest analysis has made several key improvements to these algorithms which are much faster than previous iterations and show improvements in the physics capabilities of the techniques. This includes a new, optimized architecture and improved training techniques which enhance our performance for physics analyses and reduce systematic bias. NOvA has also begun developing techniques for the next generation of analyses using full event reconstruction to create an end-to-end algorithm. This poster will demonstrate the improvements in NOvA's machine learning program for reconstructing neutrino events and how NOvA has optimized and evaluated these algorithms for use in neutrino oscillation analyses.

description: Two problems make Spoken Term Detection (STD) particularly challenging under low-resource conditions: the low quality of speech recognition hypotheses, and a high number of out-ofvocabulary (OOV) words. In this paper, we propose an intuitive way to handle OOV terms for STD on word-based Confusion Networks using phonetic similarities, and generalize it into a probabilistic and vocabulary-independent retrieval framework. We then reflect on how several heuristics and Machine Learning based methods can be incorporated into this framework to improve retrieval performance. We present experimental results on several low-resource languages from IARPA’s Babel program, such as Assamese, Bengali, Haitian, and Lao.

description: The expression “European Technological Sovereignty” (ETS) has gained momentum in EU discourses. However, it is not defined in EU policy documents and legal acts. Although ETS is mainly connected with the functioning of the internal market, this idea is employed in an array of spheres where the EU enjoys different types of competences. This Insight moves from the consideration that there is room for analysing its use with reference to defence under the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). First, this allows an examination of how “fostering ETS” shapes EU policy on a matter which is an expression of sovereign prerogatives but on which the EU is far removed from enjoying powers like a sovereign State. Second, this may in turn contribute to the debate on the nature and function of this category now in use. For the purposes of this Insight, the focus of the analysis will be the 2022 Strategic Compass. Accordingly, the Insight outlines a conceptual framework where the three components of ETS can be broadly understood. Then, it identifies the conceptual tenets of ETS as they appear the 2022 Strategic Compass, as well as the fields and the corresponding EU competences where the Compass envisages “fostering ETS” in relation to defence. Finally, the results of this investigation and their potential broader implications in light of the conceptual framework are discussed against the current configuration of the “defence” element of the CSDP in the Treaties.

description: T2K experiment, by producing highly intense and almost pure beam of muon (anti-)neutrinos at the J-PARC accelerator complex and sending them 295km across Japan, aims to explore neutrino properties. To provide a huge amount of neutrinos to T2K and the approved Hyper-Kamiokande, an upgrade of the J-PARC accelerator and neutrino beamline toward 1.3MW is proposed by increasing the intensity up to 3.2e14 protons-per-pulse (ppp) and reducing the repetition rate down to 1.3s, in light of recent stable 515 kW beam operation with 2.66e14 ppp cycled at 2.48s. This report focuses on recent achievements to realize essential upgrades to the J-PARC neutrino extraction beamline, including our first observation of beam-induced fluorescence in a non-destructive beam profile monitor under development, progress in improving the cooling and radioactive water disposal systems, and remote handling plan for highly radioactive equipment.

Основою динамічної конкуренції є підприємницькі інноваційні рішення, що ведуть до росту ринкової влади підприємства. Підприємницькі інноваційні рішення в сільському господарстві зумовлені, в першу чергу, особливостями самого сільського господарства, а саме, – основним фактором виробництва виступає земля, взаємодія з живими організмами (рослинами, тваринами, мікроорганізмами), сезонний характер виробництва, високий рівень ризику. Тривалий процес розробки стосується більшою мірою специфічного для сільського господарства виду інновацій – селекційних. Поліпшувальний характер агроінновацій пов’язаний з їх орієнтацію на підвищення врожайності, продуктивності об’єкту, а не на винайдення принципового нового [3]. Враховуючи ці особливості галузі, інноваційні рішення потребують значних фінансових ресурсів, які для більшості сільськогосподарських товаровиробників не доступні. Зважаючи на це, одним з джерел фінансування може виступати держава.

description: The Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) reveals small-scale rapid brightenings in the form of bright grains all over coronal holes and the quiet sun. These bright grains are seen with the IRIS 1330 Å, 1400 Å and 2796 Å slit-jaw filters. We combine coordinated observations with IRIS and from the ground with the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope (SST) which allows us to have chromospheric (Ca II 8542 Å, Ca II H 3968 Å, Hα, and Mg II k 2796 Å), and transition region (C II 1334 Å, Si IV 1402) spectral imaging, and single-wavelength Stokes maps in Fe I 6302 Åat high spatial (0.33"), temporal and spectral resolution. We conclude that the IRIS slit-jaw grains are the counterpart of so-called acoustic grains, i.e., resulting from chromospheric acoustic waves in a non-magnetic environment. We compare slit-jaw images with spectra from the IRIS spectrograph. We conclude that the grain intensity in the 2796 Å slit-jaw filter comes from both the Mg II k core and wings. The signal in the C II and Si IV lines is too weak to explain the presence of grains in the 1300 and 1400 Å slit-jaw images and we conclude that the grain signal in these passbands comes mostly from the continuum. Even though weak, the characteristic shock signatures of acoustic grains can often be detected in IRIS C II spectra. For some grains, spectral signature can be found in IRIS Si IV. This suggests that upward propagating acoustic waves sometimes reach all the way up to the transition region.

description: The ultimate aim of the present study is the thorough investigation of the literature concerning the identification of drugs and narcotics in histopathological samples in terms of methods of analysis and evaluation of the results and toxicological tests, as this process, for forensic toxicology, is a crucial issue in fatal cases in which samples from unconventional biological specimens are the only suitable for toxicological analysis. Therefore, methods of sample pretreatment and analysis will be discussed as well as results from stability studies of certain drugs and narcotics in tissues which were preserved in paraffin blocks or formalin solution as well as the formalin solutions. From our literature review it is clear that there is an urgent need for further studies concerning the stability of such substances (whether studied or not yet) in formalin solutions and in tissues preserved in formalin solutions, under different storage conditions, concentrations and even pH values of the solutions and even different combinations of factors that may affect their stability. There is also an urgent need to carry out further investigations for the detection of different substances in different tissues preserved in paraffin blocks and by

description: Relational data is characterised by the rich structure it encodes in the dependencies between the individual entities of a given domain. Statistical Relational Learning (SRL) combines first-order logic and probability to learn and reason over relational domains by creating parametric probability distributions over relational structures. SRL models can succinctly represent the complex dependencies in relational data and admit learning and inference under uncertainty. However, these models are significantly limited when it comes to the tractability of learning and inference. This limitation emerges from the intractability of Weighted First Order Model Counting (WFOMC), as both learning and inference in SRL models can be reduced to instances of WFOMC. Hence, fragments of first-order logic that admit tractable WFOMC, widely known as domain-liftable, can significantly advance the practicality and efficiency of SRL models. Recent works have uncovered another limitation of SRL models, i.e., they lead to unintuitive behaviours when used across varying domain sizes, violating fundamental consistency conditions expected of sound probabilistic models. Such inconsistencies also mean that conventional machine learning techniques, like training with batched data, cannot be soundly used for SRL models. In this thesis, we contribute to both the tractability and consistency of probabilistic inference in SRL models. We first expand the class of domain-liftable fragments with counting quantifiers and cardinality constraints. Unlike the algorithmic approaches proposed in the literature, we present a uniform combinatorial approach, admitting analytical combinatorial formulas for WFOMC. Our approach motivates a new family of weight functions allowing us to express a larger class of probability distributions without losing domain-liftability. We further expand the class of domain-liftable fragments with constraints inexpressible in first-order logic, namely acyclicity and connectivity constraints. Finally, we present a complete characterization for a statistically consistent (a.k.a projective) models in the two-variable fragment of a widely used class of SRL models, namely Markov Logic Networks.

description: Latent variable models are an elegant framework for capturing rich probabilistic dependencies in many applications. However, current approaches typically parametrize these models using conditional probability tables, and learning relies predominantly on local search heuristics such as Expectation Maximization. Using tensor algebra, we propose an alternative parameterization of latent variable models (where the model structures are junction trees) that still allows for computation of marginals among observed variables. While this novel representation leads to a moderate increase in the number of parameters for junction trees of low treewidth, it lets us design a local-minimum-free algorithm for learning this parameterization. The main computation of the algorithm involves only tensor operations and SVDs which can be orders of magnitude faster than EM algorithms for large datasets. To our knowledge, this is the first provably consistent parameter learning technique for a large class of low-treewidth latent graphical models beyond trees. We demonstrate the advantages of our method on synthetic and real datasets.

description: Introduction: Migraine, a common neurological disease, is known to impact the quality of life of individuals with this condition. Methods: We performed a systematic review with meta-analysis to investigate the abnormalities associated with executive functions of migraineurs as compared with healthy controls. In addition, we investigated the differences between patients with and without aura. Results: A total of 25 studies were included in the systematic review and 19 in the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis was conducted using random effects models, with the unit of analysis as the standardised mean difference (calculated as Hedges’g). Patients with migraine had worse performance in the trail making test A (g = 0.40; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.05–0.74; p = 0.0271) and B (g = 0.40; 95% CI 0.16–0.64; p = 0.0026), and digit span backward test (g = –0.20; 95% CI – 0.31, – 0.09; p = 0.0105). Subgroup analysis revealed no difference between migraine with and without aura. Conclusion: These results suggest that migraine patients may present worse performance for specific executive functional domains, including attention, working memory, and mental flexibility.

description: Introduction: Clinical and family studies suggest that alterations of theory of mind (ToM) represent a marker of genetic liability to schizophrenia. Findings regarding ToM in schizotypy are less consistent. The study aimed to explore whether this might be due to an insufficient account of the heterogeneity of schizotypy in prior research and/or the fact that in psychometric schizotypy ToM alterations could manifest as subtle peculiarities rather than overt errors of mentalising.Methods: Individuals without a family history of psychosis (n = 150) were assigned to low, positive, negative, and high mixed schizotypy classes based on a cluster analysis of 1322 subjects who completed the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire. The classes were compared on their performance of faux pas tasks with 77 adult first-degree relatives of schizophrenia patients, who represent individuals at genetic risk for schizophrenia. Besides overt errors, subtle alterations in ToM were analysed using expert judgment.Results: The relatives tended to make overt errors and demonstrated specific features of intentional reasoning. None of the schizotypal classes showed similar trends.Conclusions: The results complement the literature on the subjective-objective disjunction in psychometric schizotypes and did not provide evidence that ToM anomalies are a marker of genetic liability to schizophrenia in this cohort.
Potential dark matter signals at neutrino telescopes

description: Recent analyses of the diffuse TeV-PeV neutrino flux highlight a tension between different IceCube data samples that suggests a two-component scenario rather than a single steep power-law. Such a tension is further strengthened once the latest ANTARES data are also taken into account. Remarkably, both experiments show an excess in the same energy range (40-200 TeV), whose origin could intriguingly be related to dark matter. In this talk, I describe in a multi-messenger context the allowed features of a potential dark matter signal at neutrino telescopes according to the latest 7.5 years IceCube HESE events making the comparison with previous exclusion limits coming from Fermi-LAT data. Moreover, I discuss whether the Dark Matter hypothesis could be further scrutinized by using forthcoming high-energy gamma-rays experiments.

description: Data is the key to success for any Data-Driven Organization, and managing it is considered the most challenging task. Data Architecture (DA) focuses on describing, collecting, storing, processing, and analyzing the data to meet business needs. In this tool demo paper, we present the DAT, a model-driven engineering tool enabling data architects, data engineers, and other stakeholders to describe how data flows through the system and provides a blueprint for managing data that saves time and effort dedicated to Data Architectures for IoT applications. We evaluated this work by modeling five case studies, receiving expressiveness and ease of use feedback from two companies, more than six researchers, and eighteen undergraduate students from the software architecture course

description: We present a novel spectral learning algorithm for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) from range data with known correspondences. This algorithm is an instance of a general spectral system identifi- cation framework, from which it inherits several desirable properties, including statistical consistency and no local optima. Compared with popular batch optimization or multiple-hypothesis tracking (MHT) methods for range-only SLAM, our spectral approach o↵ers guaranteed low computational requirements and good tracking performance. Compared with MHT and with popular extended Kalman filter (EKF) or extended information filter (EIF) approaches, our approach does not need to linearize a transition or measurement model. We provide a theoretical analysis of our method, including finite-sample error bounds. Finally, we demonstrate on a real-world robotic SLAM problem that our algorithm is not only theoretically justified, but works well in practice: in a comparison of multiple methods, the lowest errors come from a combination of our algorithm with batch optimization, but our method alone produces nearly as good a result at far lower computational cost.

description: We propose a highly efficient silicene device for dual spin and valley filtering. The device consists of two different barrier regions: the first is a region under uniaxial strain, with an exchange field induced by adjacent top and bottom magnetic insulators, while the second comprises of two ferromagnetic stripes which produces a delta-function fringe magnetic field, and a gate electrode to modify the electrochemical potential. For the first region, we investigated the effect of the uniaxial strain in inducing angular separation of the two valley spins in momentum-space, and further spin separation by the spin dependent electric potential induced by the exchange field. We then evaluated the delta-function magnetic field and electrochemical potential combination in the second region to yield the transverse displacement for the selection of the requisite spin-valley combination. We demonstrated the optimal conditions in the first barrier to induce a highly anisotropic transmission profile, which enables controllable and efficient filtering (> 90% efficiency) by the second region for all four spin-valley combinations. Based on the analytical results, we predict the feasibility of experimental realization of dual spin-valley silicene-based filtering device.

description: We propose AD3 , a new algorithm for approximate maximum a posteriori (MAP) inference on factor graphs based on the alternating directions method of multipliers. Like dual decomposition algorithms, AD3 uses worker nodes to iteratively solve local subproblems and a controller node to combine these local solutions into a global update. The key characteristic of AD3 is that each local subproblem has a quadratic regularizer, leading to a faster consensus than subgradient-based dual decomposition, both theoretically and in practice. We provide closed-form solutions for these AD3 subproblems for binary pairwise factors and factors imposing first-order logic constraints. For arbitrary factors (large or combinatorial), we introduce an active set method which requires only an oracle for computing a local MAP configuration, making AD3 applicable to a wide range of problems. Experiments on synthetic and realworld problems show that AD3 compares favorably with the state-of-the-art.

description: Given the premise that the core skills for future education are creativity, communication, collaboration and critical thinking (Bialik & Fadel, 2015), the case for making (collaborative) creative prose writing a central activity in the English classroom is stronger than ever. In the quest to express and shape their own meanings, learners are propelled into “languaging” activities (Swain & Watanabe, 2013) that drive effective language learning. Scaffolding with a strong appeal to learners in the digital age can be provided by online tools of various kinds. Some are explicitly designed to support creative writers, no matter what their L1, others are tools the L2 creative writer can access online. I will present examples of these resources and argue that online tools such as text generators or writing prompts represent a specific kind of born-digital text, often serving as a draft, skeleton or stem for a new creative text. I will also argue that, with guidance from teachers and used purposefully in collaborative settings, such born-digital texts (exemplified here by a blurb produced by a text generator) can give learners experience in working with the kinds of “substantial texts” that Martín Alegre (2021) fears might be displaced by an overemphasis on digital media in the English Language classroom.

description: Communication costs, resulting from synchronization requirements during learning, can greatly slow down many parallel machine learning algorithms. In this paper, we present a parallel Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm in which subsets of data are processed independently, with very little communication. First, we arbitrarily partition data onto multiple machines. Then, on each machine, any classical MCMC method (e.g., Gibbs sampling) may be used to draw samples from a posterior distribution given the data subset. Finally, the samples from each machine are combined to form samples from the full posterior. This embarrassingly parallel algorithm allows each machine to act independently on a subset of the data (without communication) until the final combination stage. We prove that our algorithm generates asymptotically exact samples and empirically demonstrate its ability to parallelize burn-in and sampling in several models.

description: In this paper we present a novel scheme for unstructured audio scene classification that possesses three highly desirable and powerful features: autonomy, scalability, and robustness. Our scheme is based on our recently introduced machine learning algorithm called Simultaneous Temporal And Contextual Splitting (STACS) that discovers the appropriate number of states and efficiently learns accurate Hidden Markov Model (HMM) parameters for the given data. STACS-based algorithms train HMMs up to five times faster than Baum-Welch, avoid the overfitting problem commonly encountered in learning large state-space HMMs using Expectation Maximization (EM) methods such as Baum-Welch, and achieve superior classification results on a very diverse dataset with minimal pre-processing. Furthermore, our scheme has proven to be highly effective for building real-world applications and has been integrated into a commercial surveillance system as an event detection component.
