description: Java Code Generation consists in generating automatically Java code from a Natural Language Text. This NLP task helps in increasing programmers' productivity by providing them with immediate solutions to the simplest and most repetitive tasks. Code generation is a challenging task because of the hard syntactic rules and the necessity of a deep understanding of the semantic aspect of the programming language. Many works tried to tackle this task using either RNN-based, or Transformer-based models. The latter achieved remarkable advancement in the domain and they can be divided into three groups: (1) encoder-only models, (2) decoder-only models, and (3) encoder-decoder models. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of the evolution and progress of deep learning models in Java code generation task. We focus on the most important methods and present their merits and limitations, as well as the objective functions used by the community. In addition, we provide a detailed description of datasets and evaluation metrics used in the literature. Finally, we discuss results of different models on CONCODE dataset, then propose some future directions.

description: As large-scale multimode Gaussian states begin to become accessible in the laboratory, their representation and analysis become a useful topic of research in their own right. The graphical calculus for Gaussian pure states provides powerful tools for their representation, while this work presents a useful tool for their analysis: passive interferometric (i.e., number-conserving) symmetries. Here we show that these symmetries of multimode Gaussian states simplify calculations in measurement-based quantum computing and provide constructive tools for engineering large-scale harmonic systems with specific physical properties, and we provide a general mathematical framework for deriving them. Such symmetries are generated by linear combinations of operators expressed in the Schwinger representation of U(2), called nullifiers because the Gaussian state in question is a zero eigenstate of them. This general framework is shown to have applications in the noise analysis of continuous-various cluster states and is expected to have additional applications in future work with large-scale multimode Gaussian states.

description: We propose a new algorithm to approach weakly the solution of a McKean-Vlasov SDE. Based on the cubature method of Lyons and Victoir 2004, the algorithm is deterministic differing from the the usual methods based on interacting particles. It can be parametrized in order to obtain a given order of convergence. Then, we construct implementable algorithms to solve decoupled Forward Backward Stochastic Differential equations (FBSDE) of McKean-Vlasov type, which appear in some stochastic control problems in a mean field environment. We give two algorithms and show that they have convergence of order one and two under appropriate regularity conditions.

description: Biometrics are data used for the automatic verification and identification of individuals, two important routines commonly performed to enhance the level of security within a system. Therefore, improvements to the analysis of biometrics are crucial. Common examples of biometrics include fingerprints and facial features. In this thesis, we consider retinal fundus images, which are scans of a person's retina blood vessels at the back of the eyeballs. They have become a popular choice for these tasks due to their uniqueness and stability over time. Traditional methods mainly utilise specific biological features observed in the scans. These methods generally rely on highly accurate automated extractions of these traits, which are challenging to produce especially when abnormalities appear in diseased individuals. In this paper, we instead propose a novel approach, which is more tolerant of the errors from the feature extraction process, to analyse retina biometrics. In particular, we compute the \emph{(extended) persistent homology} of the blood vessel structure (viewed as a manifold with boundary embedded in $\R^2$) in a retinal image with respect to some filtration and produce a summary statistic called a \emph{persistence diagram}. This then allows us to perform further statistical tests. We test our method on a publicly available database using different filtrations choices to capture the vessels' shapes. Some of these choices achieve a high level of accuracy compared with tests done on the same database. Our method also takes significantly less time compared to other proposed methods. In the future, we can explore more filtrations and/or use combinations of results obtained from different filtrations to see if we can further increase accuracy.

We describe equivalence relations on higher-rank graphs for which the quotient is again a higher-rank graph, and show that identifying isomorphic co-hereditary subgraphs in a disjoint union of two rank-$k$ graphs gives rise to pullbacks of the associated $C^*$-algebras. We describe a combinatorial version of the connected-sum operation and apply it to the rank-2-graph realisations of the four basic surfaces to deduce that every compact 2-manifold is the topological realisation of a rank-2 graph. We also show how to construct $k$-spheres and wedges of $k$-spheres as topological realisations of rank-$k$ graphs.

description: The eighteenth century saw a flourishing of scientific and philosophical thought throughout Scotland, known as the Scottish Enlightenment. The accomplishments of prominent male figures of this period have been well documented in all disciplines. However, studies of women's experiences are relatively sparse. This paper partially corrects this oversight by drawing together evidence for women's participation in mathematics in Scotland between 1730 and 1850. In considering women across all social classes, it argues for a broad definition of 'mathematics' that includes arithmetic and astronomy, and assesses women's opportunities for engagement under three headings: education, family, and sociability. It concludes that certain elements of Scottish Enlightenment culture promoted wider participation by women in mathematical activities than has previously been recognized, but that such participation continued to be circumscribed by societal views of the role of women within family formation.

Additional information about this Adis Drug Review can be found here Abstract Ripretinib (Qinlock®) is a small molecule inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinases KIT and platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRA) and is approved for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumours as a fourth-line of therapy. After successive cycles of treatment, gastrointestinal stromal tumours can carry a wide array of mutations, which makes resistance to treatment more likely. Ripretinib has a dual mechanism of action that allows it to target a broad spectrum of mutations in KIT or PDGFRA. The pivotal phase III INVICTUS trial demonstrated an increase of progression-free survival in patients receiving ripretinib compared with placebo, with efficacy being maintained across patients with KIT exon 9, 11, 13 and 17 mutations. Ripretinib has acceptable tolerability, with the most common drug-related grade 3 or 4 adverse events being lipase increases, hypertension, fatigue and hypophosphataemia. Ripretinib is therefore a valuable additional line of therapy available for the management of gastrointestinal stromal tumours. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022

description: Most theories that predict time and/or space variation of fundamental constants also predict violations of the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP). Khoury and Weltmann proposed the chameleon model in 2004 and claimed that this model avoids experimental bounds on WEP. We present a contrasting view based on an approximate calculation of the two body problem for the chameleon field and show that the force depends on the test body composition. Furthermore, we compare the prediction of the force on a test body with Eötvös type experiments and find that the chameleon field effect cannot account for current bounds.

description: Future wireless systems are expected to support mission-critical services demanding higher and higher reliability. In this letter, we dimension the radio resources needed to achieve a given failure probability target for ultra-reliable wireless systems in high interference conditions, assuming a protocol with frequency hopping combined with packet repetitions. We resort to packet erasure channel models and derive the minimum amount of resource units in the case of receiver with and without collision resolution capability, as well as the number of packet repetitions needed for achieving the failure probability target. Analytical results are numerically validated and can be used as a benchmark for realistic system simulations

description: For a set of points in the plane and a fixed integer $k > 0$, the Yao graph $Y_k$ partitions the space around each point into $k$ equiangular cones of angle $θ=2π/k$, and connects each point to a nearest neighbor in each cone. It is known for all Yao graphs, with the sole exception of $Y_5$, whether or not they are geometric spanners. In this paper we close this gap by showing that for odd $k \geq 5$, the spanning ratio of $Y_k$ is at most $1/(1-2\sin(3θ/8))$, which gives the first constant upper bound for $Y_5$, and is an improvement over the previous bound of $1/(1-2\sin(θ/2))$ for odd $k \geq 7$. We further reduce the upper bound on the spanning ratio for $Y_5$ from $10.9$ to $2+\sqrt{3} \approx 3.74$, which falls slightly below the lower bound of $3.79$ established for the spanning ratio of $Θ_5$ ($Θ$-graphs differ from Yao graphs only in the way they select the closest neighbor in each cone). This is the first such separation between a Yao and $Θ$-graph with the same number of cones. We also give a lower bound of $2.87$ on the spanning ratio of $Y_5$. Finally, we revisit the $Y_6$ graph, which plays a particularly important role as the transition between the graphs ($k > 6$) for which simple inductive proofs are known, and the graphs ($k \le 6$) whose best spanning ratios have been established by complex arguments. Here we reduce the known spanning ratio of $Y_6$ from $17.6$ to $5.8$, getting closer to the spanning ratio of 2 established for $Θ_6$.

description: Excerpts from the report: Up and down the land during the last year, 70,000 farm men and women have organized themselves into community and county land use planning committees. In 1,195 counties in 47 States they are sitting down with representatives of Federal, State, and local agencies to develop agricultural plans, policies and programs for their counties. These committees are planning for action—by individuals, by groups, or by public agencies. What sort of problems are the committees tackling? How are they trying to solve these problems. What results have they achieved? Where are the committees located? What about the size and composition of the county committees? Of the community committees? These are just a few of the questions that have been asked since the United States Department of Agriculture and the land-grant colleges agreed to cooperate in sponsoring land use planning by farmers. This publication has been prepared to answer many such questions.
Organization of the bacterial nucleoid by DNA-bridging proteins and globular crowders

description: The genomic DNA of bacteria occupies only a fraction of the cell called the nucleoid, although it is not bounded by any membrane and would occupy a volume hundreds of times larger than the cell in the absence of constraints. The two most important contributions to the compaction of the DNA coil are the cross-linking of the DNA by nucleoid proteins (like H-NS and StpA) and the demixing of DNA and other abundant globular macromolecules which do not bind to the DNA (like ribosomes). The present work deals with the interplay of DNA-bridging proteins and globular macromolecular crowders, with the goal of determining the extent to which they collaborate in organizing the nucleoid. In order to answer this question, a coarse-grained model was developed and its properties were investigated through Brownian dynamics simulations. These simulations reveal that the radius of gyration of the DNA coil decreases linearly with the effective volume ratio of globular crowders and the number of DNA bridges formed by nucleoid proteins in the whole range of physiological values. Moreover, simulations highlight the fact that the number of DNA bridges formed by nucleoid proteins depends crucially on their ability to self-associate (oligomerize). An explanation for this result is proposed in terms of the mean distance between DNA segments and the capacity of proteins to maintain DNA--bridging in spite of the thermal fluctuations of the DNA network. Finally, simulations indicate that non-associating proteins preserve a high mobility inside the nucleoid while contributing to its compaction, leading to a DNA/protein complex which looks like a liquid droplet. In contrast, self-associating proteins form a little deformable network which cross-links the DNA chain, with the consequence that the DNA/protein complex looks more like a gel.

Model reference adaptive control in Hamiltonian systems

Publisher: name: CQUniversity
Year: 2022
Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: In this thesis we examine model reference control systems (MRC) in Hamiltonian formulation. The MRC system is then developed into a model reference adaptive control system. We then examine the sliding mode technique in Hamiltonian formulation. Comparison of controller performance is given by way of simulated control of a cylindrical robotic manipulator. In this thesis we apply the so called Lyapunov direct method. The aim in this method is to construct an energy-like function (Lyapunov function), satisfying certain conditions, and using a control law, force it to decrease with the passage of time. The synthesis problem using the Lyapunov direct method is to select a Lyapunov function candidate and a mechanism to adjust the parameters of the system so that the Lyapunov function satisfies the conditions for stability. A brief introduction to Newtonian, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulation of dynamics is given and illustrated on the same example of a two-link revolute robotic manipulator. Model reference control is considered for nonlinear plant and reference models which are given in the Hamiltonian format. We show how the Hamiltonian for the reference model can be used as a Lyapunov function for MRC. The method is applied to linear and nonlinear plants, with particular application to robot control. Model reference adaptive control (MRAC) is introduced as an extension of the MRC results. We use the Liapunov method to determine controllers for adaptive tracking and at the same time give sufficient conditions to ensure that the resulting system is stable. The sliding mode approach provides a simple and robust method of dealing with modelling imprecision. We next adapt the sliding mode technique to the Hamiltonian formulation and design the control and adaptation laws. We design a stabilising controller for the sliding mode method.

Dualities in modal logic
Creators: name: De Groot, Jim
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2022

description: Categorical dualities are an important tool in the study of (modal) logics. They offer conceptual understanding and enable the transfer of results between the different semantics of a logic. As such, they play a central role in the proofs of completeness theorems, Sahlqvist theorems and Goldblatt-Thomason theorems. A common way to obtain dualities is by extending existing ones. For example, Jonsson-Tarski duality is an extension of Stone duality. A convenient formalism to carry out such extensions is given by the dual categorical notions of algebras and coalgebras. Intuitively, these allow one to isolate the new part of a duality from the existing part. In this thesis we will derive both existing and new dualities via this route, and we show how to use the dualities to investigate logics. However, not all (modal logical) paradigms fit the (co)algebraic perspective. In particular, modal intuitionistic logics do not enjoy a coalgebraic treatment, and there is a general lack of duality results for them. To remedy this, we use a generalisation of both algebras and coalgebras called dialgebras. Guided by the research field of coalgebraic logic, we introduce the framework of dialgebraic logic. We show how a large class of modal intuitionistic logics can be modelled as dialgebraic logics and we prove dualities for them. We use the dialgebraic framework to prove general completeness, Hennessy-Milner, representation and Goldblatt-Thomason theorems, and instantiate this to a wide variety of modal intuitionistic logics. Additionally, we use the dialgebraic perspective to investigate modal extensions of the meet-implication fragment of intuitionistic logic. We instantiate general dialgebraic results, and describe how modal meet-implication logics relate to modal intuitionistic logics.

Essays on the impact of labour market regulation in Indonesia
Creators: name: Merdikawati, Nurina
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2022

description: This thesis contributes to the literature on the impact of labour market regulations in developing countries. It consists of three main chapters evaluating how broader changes in labour market regulations and in minimum wage policy, in particular, affect labour market outcomes and poverty in Indonesia. Chapter 2 analyses the relationship between a significant shift to much more stringent labour market regulations in Indonesia in the early 2000s and changes in employment in the manufacturing sector. While this regulation shift has been associated with the stagnation of the manufacturing sector in Indonesia over the past two decades, there is little rigorous evidence to support the association. The analysis compares firms in labour-intensive and non-labour-intensive manufacturing industries over time, and uses the difference-in-differences method to analyse different employment trends between these two groups around the time of the labour regulation change. The results show that employment in firms in labour-intensive manufacturing declined by 4% to 14% relative to firms in non-labour-intensive manufacturing around the time of the labour regulation change. This pattern is robust to using different measures of labour intensity, and to controlling for other policies that may have affected different industries differently during the same period including trade liberalisation, China's entry into the WTO, and changes in the Multi Fibre Agreement. The findings suggest that more stringent labour regulations likely contributed to the stagnation of labour-intensive manufacturing since the early 2000s in Indonesia. Chapter 3 evaluates the effect of minimum wage increase on labour market outcomes of workers in formal and informal manufacturing firms in Indonesia from 2000 to 2014. Using district-level panel data, I use an identification strategy that exploits minimum wage variation within nearby districts. The results show a positive wage effect on the formal manufacturing firms where the minimum wage is relatively more binding and a null wage effect for the informal firms. I find growing informalisation in the manufacturing sector, driven by declining employment among formal manufacturing firms and increasing employment among informal manufacturing firms. Chapter 4 examines whether the minimum wage policy played any significant role in poverty reduction in Indonesia between 2002 and 2014. The results from difference-in-spatial-differences, which exploit minimum wage variation within geographically proximate districts, show that the minimum wage not only helps to increase the earnings of poor workers in the formal sector, but also those who work in the informal sector. However, the policy decreases poor workers' employment in the formal sector. As a result, the minimum wage has limited effect on household consumption per capita and has no significant impact on the poverty headcount ratio.

description: Recently, a new notion of quantum Rényi divergences has been introduced by Müller-Lennert, Dupuis, Szehr, Fehr and Tomamichel, J.Math.Phys. 54:122203, (2013), and Wilde, Winter, Yang, Commun.Math.Phys. 331:593--622, (2014), that has found a number of applications in strong converse theorems. Here we show that these new Rényi divergences are also useful tools to obtain coding theorems in the direct domain of various problems. We demonstrate this by giving new and considerably simplified proofs for the achievability parts of Stein's lemma with composite null hypothesis, universal state compression, and the classical capacity of compound classical-quantum channels, based on single-shot error bounds already available in the literature, and simple properties of the quantum Rényi divergences. The novelty of our proofs is that the composite/compound coding theorems can be almost directly obtained from the single-shot error bounds, with essentially the same effort as for the case of simple null-hypothesis/single source/single channel.

description: Recent advances in the field of intelligent robotic manipulation pursue providing robotic hands with touch sensitivity. Haptic perception encompasses the sensing modalities encountered in the sense of touch (e.g., tactile and kinesthetic sensations). This letter focuses on multimodal object recognition and proposes analytical and data-driven methodologies to fuse tactile- and kinesthetic-based classification results. The procedure is as follows: a three-finger actuated gripper with an integrated high-resolution tactile sensor performs squeeze-and-release Exploratory Procedures (EPs). The tactile images and kinesthetic information acquired using angular sensors on the finger joints constitute the time-series datasets of interest. Each temporal dataset is fed to a Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) Neural Network, which is trained to classify in-hand objects. The LSTMs provide an estimation of the posterior probability of each object given the corresponding measurements, which after fusion allows to estimate the object through Bayesian and Neural inference approaches. An experiment with 36-classes is carried out to evaluate and compare the performance of the fused, tactile, and kinesthetic perception systems.The results show that the Bayesian-based classifiers improves capabilities for object recognition and outperforms the Neural-based approach.

description: We use the fusion formulas of the symmetric group and of the Hecke algebra to construct solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation on irreducible representations of $\mathfrak{gl}_N$, $\mathfrak{gl}_{N|M}$, $U_q(\mathfrak{gl}_N)$ and $U_q(\mathfrak{gl}_{N|M})$. The solutions are obtained via the fusion procedure for the Yang--Baxter equation, which is reviewed in a general setting. Distinguished invariant subspaces on which the fused solutions act are also studied in the general setting, and expressed, in general, with the help of a fusion function. Only then, the general construction is specialised to the four situations mentioned above. In each of these four cases, we show how the distinguished invariant subspaces are identified as irreducible representations, using the relevant fusion formula combined with the relevant Schur--Weyl duality.

description: We compare the properties of the stellar populations of the globular clusters and field stars in two dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs): ESO269-66, a near neighbor of the giant S0 galaxy NGC 5128, and KKs3, one of the few extremely isolated dSphs within 10 Mpc. The histories of star formation in these galaxies are known from previous work on deep stellar photometry using images from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The age and metal content for the nuclear globular clusters in KKs3 and ESO269-66 are known from literature spectroscopic studies: T=12.6 billion years, [Fe/H]=-1.5 and -1.55 dex. We use the Sersic function to construct and analyze the profiles of the surface density of the stars with high and low metallicities (red and blue) in KKs3 and ESO269-66, and show that (1) the profiles of the density of red stars are steeper than those of blue stars, which is indicative of gradients of metallicity and age in the galaxies, and (2) the globular clusters in KKs3 and ESO269-66 contain roughly 4 and 40%, respectively, of all the old stars in the galaxies with metallicities [Fe/H]~-1.5 to -1.6 dex and ages of 12-14 billion years. The globular clusters are, therefore, relicts of the first, most powerful bursts of star formation in the central regions of these objects. It is probable that, because of its isolation, KKs3 has lost a smaller fraction of old low-metallicity stars than ESO269-66.

description: Surface photometry data on 90 dwarf irregular galaxies (dIrrs) in a wide vicinity of the Virgo cluster and 30 isolated dIrrs are presented. Images from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) are used. The following mean photometric characteristics (color and central surface brightness) are obtained for objects in the two samples:(V-I)o=0.75 mag (sigma=0.19 mag), (B-V)o=0.51 mag (sigma=0.13 mag), SBv=22.16 mag/sq.arcsec (sigma=1.02 mag/sq.arcsec) for the dIrrs in the vicinity of the Virgo cluster and (V-I)o=0.66 mag (sigma=0.43 mag), (B-V)o=0.57 mag (sigma=0.16 mag), SBv=22.82 mag/sq.arcsec (sigma=0.73 mag/sq.arcsec) for the isolated galaxies. The mean central surface brightnesses for the isolated galaxies in this sample is lower than for the dIrrs in a denser environment. The average color characteristics of the dIrrs in the different environments are the same to within ~0.2 mag.

Using higher-order contracts to model session types

description: Session types are used to describe and structure interactions between independent processes in distributed systems. Higher-order types are needed in order to properly structure delegation of responsibility between processes. In this paper we show that higher-order web-service contracts can be used to provide a fully-abstract model of recursive higher-order session types. The model is set-theoretic, in the sense that the meaning of a contract is given in terms of the set of contracts with which it complies. The proof of full-abstraction depends on a novel notion of the complement of a contract. This in turn gives rise to an alternative to the type duality commonly used in systems for type-checking session types. We believe that the notion of complement captures more faithfully the behavioural intuition underlying type duality.
description: Added definitions of m-closed terms, of 'dual', and a discussion to show the problems of the complement function

description: Conducting valid statistical analyses is challenging in the presence of missing-not-at-random (MNAR) data, where the missingness mechanism is dependent on the missing values themselves even conditioned on the observed data. Here, we consider a MNAR model that generalizes several prior popular MNAR models in two ways: first, it is less restrictive in terms of statistical independence assumptions imposed on the underlying joint data distribution, and second, it allows for all variables in the observed sample to have missing values. This MNAR model corresponds to a so-called criss-cross structure considered in the literature on graphical models of missing data that prevents nonparametric identification of the entire missing data model. Nonetheless, part of the complete-data distribution remains nonparametrically identifiable. By exploiting this fact and considering a rich class of exponential family distributions, we establish sufficient conditions for identification of the complete-data distribution as well as the entire missingness mechanism. We then propose methods for testing the independence restrictions encoded in such models using odds ratio as our parameter of interest. We adopt two semiparametric approaches for estimating the odds ratio parameter and establish the corresponding asymptotic theories: one involves maximizing a conditional likelihood with order statistics and the other uses estimating equations. The utility of our methods is illustrated via simulation studies.

description: We study the constrained Ostrogradski-Hamilton framework for the equations of motion provided by mechanical systems described by second-order derivative actions with a linear dependence in the accelerations. We stress out the peculiar features provided by the surface terms arising for this type of theories and we discuss some important properties for this kind of actions in order to pave the way for the construction of a well defned quantum counterpart by means of canonical methods. In particular, we analyse in detail the constraint structure for these theories and its relation to the inherent conserved quantities where the associated energies together with a Noether charge may be identifed. The constraint structure is fully analyzed without the introduction of auxiliary variables, as proposed in recent works involving higher order Lagrangians. Finally, we also provide some examples where our approach is explicitly applied and emphasize the way in which our original arrangement results in propitious for the Hamiltonian formulation of covariant feld theories.

description: In today's industrial challenges, it can be observed that the trends point in the direction of agile, wireless connected robots where elements of intelligence and control are implemented in the edge cloud. This paper outlines the roles of three key participants in the value chain of an industrial process: the network provider, the robot operator, and the customer. It proposes a scheme where the Quality of Service (QoS) parameters of the robot are fed into the network to inform network resource management. A sanding process use case is simulated to demonstrate the relationship between QoS and Quality of Experience (QoE) for each participant, quantitatively.
