description: Contract element extraction (CEE) is the novel task of automatically identifying and extracting legally relevant elements such as contract dates, payments, and legislation references from contracts. Automatic methods for this task view it as a sequence labeling problem and dramatically reduce human labor. However, as contract genres and element types may vary widely, a significant challenge for this sequence labeling task is how to transfer knowledge from one domain to another, i.e., cross-domain CEE. Cross-domain CEE differs from cross-domain named entity recognition (NER) in two important ways. First, contract elements are far more fine-grained than named entities, which hinders the transfer of extractors. Second, the extraction zones for cross-domain CEE are much larger than for cross-domain NER. As a result, the contexts of elements from different domains can be more diverse. We propose a framework, the Bi-directional Feedback cLause-Element relaTion network (Bi-FLEET), for the cross-domain CEE task that addresses the above challenges. Bi-FLEET has three main components: (1) a context encoder, (2) a clause-element relation encoder, and (3) an inference layer. To incorporate invariant knowledge about element and clause types, a clause-element graph is constructed across domains and a hierarchical graph neural network is adopted in the clause-element relation encoder. To reduce the influence of context variations, a multi-task framework with a bi-directional feedback scheme is designed in the inference layer, conducting both clause classification and element extraction. The experimental results over both cross-domain NER and CEE tasks show that Bi-FLEET significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines.

description: The New Solar Telescope (NST) is a 1.6-meter off-axis Gregory-type telescope with an equatorial mount and an open optical support structure. To mitigate the temperature fluctuations along the exposed optical path, the effects of local/dome-related seeing have to be minimized. To accomplish this, NST will be housed in a 5/8-sphere fiberglass dome that is outfitted with 14 active vents evenly spaced around its perimeter. The 14 vents house louvers that open and close independently of one another to regulate and direct the passage of air through the dome. In January 2006, 16 thermal probes were installed throughout the dome and the temperature distribution was measured. The measurements confirmed the existence of a strong thermal gradient on the order of 5 degree Celsius inside the dome. In December 2006, a second set of temperature measurements were made using different louver configurations. In this study, we present the results of these measurements along with their integration into the thermal control system (ThCS) and the overall telescope control system (TCS).

description: We have measured the $π^+\to {\rm e}^+νγ$ branching ratio over a wide region of phase space, based on a total of 65,460 events acquired using the PIBETA detector. Minimum-$χ^2$ fits to the measured $(E_{e^+},E_γ)$ energy distributions result in the weak form factor value of $F_A=0.0119(1)$ with a fixed value of $F_V=0.0259$. An unconstrained fit yields $F_V=0.0258(17)$ and $F_A=0.0117(17)$. In addition, we have measured $a=0.10(6)$ for the dependence of $F_V$ on $q^2$, the ${\rm e}^{+}ν$ pair invariant mass squared, parametrized as $F_V(q^2)=F_V(0)(1+a\cdot q^2)$. The branching ratio for the kinematic region $E_γ> 10 $MeV and $θ_{{\rm e^+}γ} > 40^\circ $ is measured to be $B^{\rm exp}=73.86(54) \times 10^{-8}$. Earlier deviations we reported in the high-$E_γ$/low-$E_{{\rm e}^+}$ kinematic region are resolved, and we find full compatibility with CVC and standard $V$$-$$A$ calculations without a tensor term. We also derive new values for the pion polarizability, $α_E = \rm 2.78(10) \times 10^{-4} fm^3$, and neutral pion lifetime, $τ_{π0} = (8.5 \pm 1.1) \times 10^{-17} $s.

description: To investigate modifiable child and caregiver factors influencing community participation among children with Down syndrome. Cross-sectional data from a study investigating quality of life of children with intellectual disability were analysed. Participants were caregivers of 89 children with Down syndrome (54 females; 83 school attenders) (mean age 11 y 1 mo; SD 4 y 1 mo). Components of participation (attendance, involvement) were measured using the Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth, community module. Caregiver factors were time, mood, transport, and disability funding. Child factors were sleep, behaviour, communication, and health. Multivariate linear regression analyses examined if (i) caregiver factors were associated with attendance and (ii) child factors were associated with involvement. Increased caregiver time availability was associated with higher frequency of attendance. Higher frequency of attendance was associated with greater child involvement, and having a sleep breathing disorder and less verbal communication ability was associated with less child involvement. These factors combined explained 21% of the variance. Children with Down syndrome who participated in the community more frequently enjoyed greater involvement. Supporting participation of children with poorer verbal communication and/or sleep breathing disorders could further the participation of children with Down syndrome.Implications for rehabilitationChildren with Down syndrome who more frequently attended opportunities for participation were more likely to be involved in those experiences.Healthcare providers and educators could foster involvement in participation opportunities of children with poorer verbal ability by supporting the development of prerequisite communication strategies.Rehabilitation programs and policies pertaining to accessibility of community activities need to align with modifiable determinants of participation in children, including availability of caregivers’ time.

description: To (1) identify interventional research topics in traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation, (2) describe potential knowledge gaps, and (3) uncover further needs for interventional TBI rehabilitation research for patients and families. We searched three databases (2006–2019) and screened 1552 non-duplicate articles. Titles and abstracts were screened for relevance, yielding 754 articles for full-text review. Of these, 425 were included, as relevant to the purpose of the scoping review. Among articles on TBI rehabilitation, the majority (71.8%) applied quantitative methodology; of these only 19.7% were randomized controlled trials. Severe TBI was described more often than mild/moderate TBI populations. Hospital vs community/home rehabilitation was 55.1% vs 37.2%; rehabilitation at workplace/school was described in only 4.5% articles, while in 7.2% the setting was undisclosed. Of 83 articles describing work/education, only 14 were in a work/school context. An additional focus in the work/education articles was activities of daily living (n = 28), cognition (n = 33) and emotions (n = 23), few targeted family or network. The main attention of interventional TBI rehabilitation studies has been on severe TBI and long-term rehabilitation. Gaps identified were rehabilitation of mild/moderate TBI populations, older populations, acute/sub-phase rehabilitation, return to work issues and studies including the family.Implications for rehabilitationA substantial number of interventional studies exist to guide long-term rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury with focus on daily life, physical, emotional and cognitive functioning.We recommend a stronger focus in the clinic on the following groups; people with mild/moderate traumatic brain injury, people in the acute and sub-acute phase, and older people with traumatic brain injury.Issues that target challenges returning to work should be addressed, while they are of importance to patients and families.Emphasis should be put on continuity of care and peer-support.

description: In una precedente ricerca condotta sulle AV da Arienzo e Capasso
(2000) questi autori hanno trovato che i cationi metallici, presenti
naturalmente in queste acque di scarto, sono essenzialmente adsorbiti sulla
sua frazione polimerica, costituita peraltro da zuccheri, proteine e
polifenoli. Inoltre essi hanno identificato come metallo principale il
potassio, che è risultato l’unico legato non completamente (78%) a tale
frazione.
Considerando la copiosità di tale frazione organica (vedi lavoro
Arienzo e Capasso, 2000) abbiamo intrapreso una ricerca mirante a due
obiettivi principali:
1. recupero e caratterizzazione chimica e chimico-fisica della frazione
polimerica delle AV;
2. sperimentazione di tale frazione in applicazioni di interesse agrario,

description: Treatment of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) currently consists of a combination of noninvasive therapies and may be supported by e-Health. It is, however, unclear if physical therapists and patients are positive towards the use of e-Health. To assess the needs, facilitators and barriers of the use of an e-Health application from the perspective of both orofacial physical therapists and patients with TMD. A descriptive qualitative study was performed. Eleven physical therapists and nine patients with TMD were interviewed using a topic guide. Thematic analysis was applied, and findings were ordered according to four themes: acceptance of e-Health, expected utility, usability and convenience. Physical therapists identified the need for e-Health as a supporting application to send questionnaires, animated exercises and evaluation tools. Key facilitators for both physical therapists and patients for implementing e-Health included the increase in self-efficacy, support of data collection and personalization of the application. Key barriers are the increase of screen time, the loss of personal contact, not up-to-date information and poor design of the application. Physical therapists and patients with TMD are positive towards the use of e-Health, in a blended form with the usual rehabilitation care process for TMD complaints.Implications for rehabilitationThe rehabilitation process of temporomandibular complaints may be supported by the use of e-Health applications.Physical therapists and patients with temporomandibular disorders are positive towards the use of e-Health as an addition to the usual care.Especially during the treatment process, there is a need for clear animated videos and reminders for the patients.

Ab initio study of the CE magnetic phase in half-doped manganites: Purely magnetic versus double exchange description

description: The leading electronic interactions governing the local physics of the CE phase of half-doped manganites are extracted from correlated ab initio calculations performed on an embedded cluster. The electronic structure of the low-energy states is dominated by double exchange configurations and O-2$p_σ$ to Mn-3d charge transfer configurations. The model spectra of both a purely magnetic non-symmetric Heisenberg Hamiltonian involving a magnetic oxygen and two non-symmetric double exchange models are compared to the \textit{ab initio} one. While a satisfactory agreement between the Heisenberg spectrum and the calculated one is obtained, the best description is provided by a double exchange model involving excited non-Hund atomic states. This refined model not only perfectly reproduces the spectrum of the embedded cluster in the crystal geometry, but also gives a full description of the local double-well potential energy curve of the ground state (resulting from the interaction of the charge localized electronic configurations) and the local potential energy curves of all excited states ruled by the double exchange mechanism.

description: Introduction: Low intake of iodine is the main cause of iodine deficiency disorders (IDDs) such as goitre and cretinism. Universal salt iodization as well as policies regulating the intake of iodized salt is the main preventive measure to control iodine deficiency. Iodine Deficiency Disorders are endemic in inland and mountainous areas. This study therefore explored the knowledge of students in UCC on the awareness and use of iodized salt as well as the effectiveness of the policies and laws on the use of iodized salt. Also, this study assessed the awareness of students on risks associated with the consumption of salt.
Methodology- The study was conducted at the University of Cape Coast, one of the public universities in Ghana using a cross-sectional design. Three hundred (300) students were sampled for the study. A standardized questionnaire was used to collect relevant data. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was undertaken.
Results: The study revealed that knowledge of iodized salt was quite high with 93% of the students using iodized salt. There was an association between educational level and knowledge of iodized salt (X2=11.54, p=0.021). The proportion of students who knew the benefits of iodized salt was 72%. A high proportion (93%) of the students did not know about the policy regulating the intake of iodized salt. The students consume salt mostly from dried salted fish. Less than half (42%) of the respondents knew that salt causes health problems with hypertension being the main salt-related health problem mentioned.
Conclusion: Knowledge of the benefits of iodized salt was very high among students. However, the majority of students were unaware of the health problems associated with high salt intake.

description: Inelastic dark matter, in which WIMP-nucleus scatterings occur through a transition to an excited WIMP state ~ 100 keV above the ground state, provides a compelling explanation of the DAMA annual modulation signal. We demonstrate that the relative sensitivities of various dark matter direct detection experiments are modified such that the DAMA annual modulation signal can be reconciled with the absence of a reported signal at CDMS-Soudan, XENON10, ZEPLIN, CRESST, and KIMS for inelastic WIMPs with masses O(100 GeV). We review the status of these experiments, and make predictions for upcoming ones. In particular, we note that inelastic dark matter leads to highly suppressed signals at low energy, with most events typically occurring between 20 to 45 keV (unquenched) at xenon and iodine experiments, and generally no events at low (~ 10 keV) energies. Suppressing the background in this high energy region is essential to testing this scenario. The recent CRESST data suggest seven observed tungsten events, which is consistent with expectations from this model. If the tungsten signal persists at future CRESST runs, it would provide compelling evidence for inelastic dark matter, while its absence should exclude it.

description: Recent experiments [I.V. Grigorieva et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 077005 (2006)] on visualization of vortices using the Bitter decoration technique revealed vortex shells in mesoscopic superconducting Nb disks containing up to L=40 vortices. Some of the found configurations did not agree with those predicted theoretically. We show here that this discrepancy can be traced back to the larger disks with radii R ~ 1 to 2.5μm, i.e., R ~ 50-100ξ(0) used in the experiment, while in previous theoretical studies vortex states with vorticity L < 40 were analyzed for smaller disks with R ~ 5-20ξ(0). The present analysis is done for thin disks (mesoscopic regime) and for thick (macroscopic) disks where the London screening is taken into account. We found that the radius of the superconducting disk has a pronounced influence on the vortex configuration in contrast to, e.g., the case of parabolic confined charged particles. The missing vortex configurations and the region of their stability are found, which are in agreement with those observed in the experiment.

description: We have monitored the atoll-type neutron star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636-53 with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) for more than 1.5 years. Our campaign consisted of short (~2 ks) pointings separated by two days, regularly monitoring the spectral and timing properties of the source. During the campaign we observed a clear long-term oscillation with a period of ~30-40 days, already seen in the light curves from the RXTE All-Sky Monitor, which corresponded to regular transitions between the hard (island) and soft (banana) states. We detected kHz QPOs in about a third of the observations, most of which were in the soft (banana) state. The distribution of the frequencies of the peak identified as the lower kHz QPO is found to be different from that previously observed in an independent data set. This suggests that the kHz QPOs in the system shows no intrinsically preferred frequency.

description: Optical conductivity of a moderately disordered superconducting NbN film was investigated by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy in external magnetic field applied along the film plane. The film thickness of about 5 nm was comparable with the coherence length, so vortices should not form. This was confirmed by the fact that no marked difference between the spectra with terahertz electric field set perpendicular and parallel to the external magnetic field was observed. Simultaneous use of Maxwell-Garnett effective medium theory and the model of optical conductivity by Herman and Hlubina proved to correctly reproduce the terahertz spectra obtained experimentally in a magnetic field of up to 7 T. This let us conclude that the magnetic field tends to suppress the superconductivity, resulting in an inhomogeneous state where superconducting domains are enclosed within a normal-state matrix. The scattering rate due to pair-breaking effects was found to linearly increase with magnetic field.

description: HPC is critical to the weather and climate community for the delivery of accurate results in a timely fashion. The weather and climate community represents one of the largest industries for the procurement and utilisation of dedicated HPC systems. As such, the motivation for improved performance, both in terms of numerical accuracy and time to solution, is helping to drive and shape the industry.

However, the scientific applications and workflows used by the weather and climate community have several specific requirements which are unique to the industry. Comprehending these requirements, can help industry vendors design solutions which are better suited to the weather and climate simulation and the associated workflows, in turn advancing the performance capabilities of the whole community.

This BoF session brings together representatives from industry and scientific communities to discuss the HPC challenges in weather and climate computing.

The session will begin by the presenters each delivering a short introduction, detailing their perspective on these challenges, and then participating in an interactive panel session.

Discussions will focus on the following main topics: heritage and evolution of scientific codebases; model coupling; data storage, handling and distribution; and system benchmarking, procurement and deployment.

This BoF is designed to discuss these industry specific requirements and widen the dialogue with HPC vendors about the needs and concerns of the weather and climate community.

This session is an output from the European H2020 ESiWACE Centre of Excellence, a pan-European initiative to address key scientific challenges in weather and climate modelling.

The two locus of control strategies were adaptive learner control (ALC) strategy and adaptive program control (APC) strategy. Effects were examined for CAI strategy, pre-requisite knowledge, metacognitive ability, and gender of student. The group working with CAI strategy of the adaptive program control demonstrated better delayed post-test performance, while requiring fewer number of practice examples and thus considerably less learning time than students in adaptive learner control. The interaction of gender by locus of control strategy was significant, in that male student achieved slightly more under ALC than APC and female subjects did significantly better under APC than ALC.

description: In the frame of the collapsar model for long gamma ray bursts (GRBs), we investigate the formation of a torus around a spinning BH and we check what rotational properties a progenitor star must have in order to sustain torus accretion over relatively long activity periods. We also study the time evolution of the BH spin parameter. We take into account the coupling between BH mass, its spin parameter and the critical specific angular momentum of accreting gas, needed for the torus to form. The large BH spin reduces the critical angular momentum which in turn can increase the GRB duration with respect to the Schwarzschild BH case. We quantify this effect and estimate the GRB durations in three cases: when a hyper accreting torus operates or a BH spins very fast or both. We show under what conditions a given progenitor star produces a burst that can last as short as several seconds and as long as several hundred of seconds. Our models indicate that it is possible for a single collapse to produce three kinds of jets: (1) a very short, lasting between a fraction of a second and a few seconds, 'precursor' jet, powered only by a hyper accreting torus before the BH spins up, (2) an 'early' jet, lasting several tens of seconds and powered by both hyper accretion and BH rotation, and (3) a 'late' jet, powered only by the spinning BH.

description: We studied the effect of quantum confinement on the size of the band gap in single layer epitaxial graphene. Samples with different graphene terrace sizes are studied by using low energy electron microscopy (LEEM) and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). The direct correlation between the terrace size extracted from LEEM and the gap size extracted from ARPES shows that quantum confinement alone cannot account for the large gap observed in epitaxial graphene samples.

description: Constrained discrete optimization problems are encountered in many areas of communication and machine learning. We consider the case where the objective function satisfies Bellman's optimality principle without the constraints on which we place no conditions. We first show that these problems are a generalization of optimization in constrained Markov decision processes with finite horizon used in reinforcement learning and are NP-Hard. We then present a novel multi-survivor dynamic programming (msDP) algorithm that guarantees optimality at significant computational savings. We demonstrate this by solving 5G quantizer bit allocation and DNA fragment assembly problems. The results are very promising and suggest that msDP can be used for many applications.

description: The unparticle stuff scenario related to the notrivial IR fixed point in 4D-conformal field theory is recently suggested by Georgi. We illustrate its physical effects in Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) process. A possible signal of unparticle related to parity violation asymmetry in DIS is investigated. It is found out that the behavior of this parity violation signal is sensitive to the value of the scale dimension $d_{\cal U}$ of unpaticle.

description: Extraction of categorised named entities from text is a complex task given the availability of a variety of Named Entity Recognition (NER) models and the unstructured information encoded in different source document formats. Processing the documents to extract text, identifying suitable NER models for a task, and obtaining statistical information is important in data analysis to make informed decisions. This paper presents TNNT, a toolkit that automates the extraction of categorised named entities from unstructured information encoded in source documents, using diverse state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools and NER models. TNNT integrates 21 different NER models as part of a Knowledge Graph Construction Pipeline (KGCP) that takes a document set as input and processes it based on the defined settings, applying the selected blocks of NER models to output the results. The toolkit generates all results with an integrated summary of the extracted entities, enabling enhanced data analysis to support the KGCP, and also, to aid further NLP tasks.

description: Polarization transfer in quasi-elastic nucleon knockout is sensitive to the properties of the nucleon in the nuclear medium, including possible modification of the nucleon form factor and/or spinor. In our recently completed experiment E03-104 at Jefferson Lab we measured the proton recoil polarization in the 4He(e,e'p)3H reaction at a Q^2 of 0.8 (GeV/c)^2 and 1.3 (GeV/c)^2 with unprecedented precision. These data complement earlier data between 0.4 and 2.6 (GeV/c)^2 from both Mainz and Jefferson Lab. The measured ratio of polarization-transfer coefficients differs from a fully relativistic calculation, favoring either the inclusion of a medium modification of the proton form factors predicted by a quark-meson coupling model or strong charge-exchange final-state interactions. The measured induced polarizations agree well with the fully relativistic calculation and indicate that these strong final-state interactions may not be applicable.

description: We study the distinguishability of multipartite quantum states by separable operations. We first present a necessary and sufficient condition for a finite set of orthogonal quantum states to be distinguishable by separable operations. An analytical version of this condition is derived for the case of $(D-1)$ pure states, where $D$ is the total dimension of the state space under consideration. A number of interesting consequences of this result are then carefully investigated. Remarkably, we show there exists a large class of $2\otimes 2$ separable operations not being realizable by local operations and classical communication. Before our work only a class of $3\otimes 3$ nonlocal separable operations was known [Bennett et al, Phys. Rev. A \textbf{59}, 1070 (1999)]. We also show that any basis of the orthogonal complement of a multipartite pure state is indistinguishable by separable operations if and only if this state cannot be a superposition of 1 or 2 orthogonal product states, i.e., has an orthogonal Schmidt number not less than 3, thus generalize the recent work about indistinguishable bipartite subspaces [Watrous, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{95}, 080505 (2005)]. Notably, we obtain an explicit construction of indistinguishable subspaces of dimension 7 (or 6) by considering a composite quantum system consisting of two qutrits (resp. three qubits), which is slightly better than the previously known indistinguishable bipartite subspace with dimension 8.

description: The nature of the synchrotron superbubble in the IC 10 galaxy is discussed using the results of our investigation of its ionized gas structure, kinematics, and emission spectrum from observations made with the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and based on our analysis of the radio emission of the region. The hypernova explosion is shown to be a more plausible mechanism of the formation of the synchrotron superbubble compared with the earlier proposed model of multiple supernova explosions. A compact remnant of this hypernova may be identified with the well known X-ray binary X-1 -- an accreting black hole.

description: Nowadays, recognition patterns play an important role in several applications, in which the iris recognition is widely developed in authentication systems today. For such systems models, it is necessary to use as input high quality images, which will reduce possible recognition errors. Thus, this article develops experimental tests to study the image quality on the performance of the iris recognition, using different quality metrics. Thus, experiments are conducted with different iris images and applying the Hamming distance algorithm as reference measurement to accept or denied an user authentication. To this end the OSIRIS platform was used in the tests, because it permits to calculate the Hamming Distance between two binary codes. Based on the results obtained in the tests using different metrics, can be inferred that the image quality has a considerable impact on the performance of an iris recognition system. Therefore, the image capture process is an important step.
