description: Although scholars across academic disciplines are beginning to examine the experiences of bi+ college students, there is a need to further complicate how researchers are framing these studies and student communities. Specifically, this summative content analysis investigated how authors have written about the intersecting identities of bi+ college students. Using a sample of 70 publications that explicitly discussed bi+ students and their intersecting identities, we discovered the strengths and limitations around authors’ study decisions. Our findings illustrated six themes related to study framing and design, researchers’ (in)attention to power, and a lack of robust discussion and direction for improved practice. After highlighting these six themes, we provide recommendations for researchers hoping to better spotlight the intersections and nuances that are present within bi+ college student populations.

description: Price forecasting for used construction equipment is a challenging task due to spatial and temporal price fluctuations. It is thus of high interest to automate the forecasting process based on current market data. Even though applying machine learning (ML) to these data represents a promising approach to predict the residual value of certain tools, it is hard to implement for small and medium-sized enterprises due to their insufficient ML expertise. To this end, we demonstrate the possibility of substituting manually created ML pipelines with automated machine learning (AutoML) solutions, which automatically generate the underlying pipelines. We combine AutoML methods with the domain knowledge of the companies. Based on the CRISP-DM process, we split the manual ML pipeline into a machine learning and non-machine learning part. To take all complex industrial requirements into account and to demonstrate the applicability of our new approach, we designed a novel metric named method evaluation score, which incorporates the most important technical and non-technical metrics for quality and usability. Based on this metric, we show in a case study for the industrial use case of price forecasting, that domain knowledge combined with AutoML can weaken the dependence on ML experts for innovative small and medium-sized enterprises which are interested in conducting such solutions.

description: Stream processing and reasoning is getting considerable attention in various application domains such as IoT, Industry IoT and Smart Cities. In parallel, reasoning and knowledge-based features have attracted research into many areas of robotics, such as robotic mapping, perception and interaction. To this end, the Semantic Stream Reasoning (SSR) framework can unify the representations of symbolic/semantic streams with deep neural networks, to integrate high-dimensional data streams, such as video streams and LiDAR point clouds, with traditional graph or relational stream data. As such, this positioning and system paper will outline our approach to build a platform to facilitate semantic stream reasoning capabilities on a robotic operating system called SemRob.

description: This paper describes a novel Python package, named causalgraph, for modeling and saving causal graphs embedded in knowledge graphs. The package has been designed to provide an interface between causal disciplines such as causal discovery and causal inference. With this package, users can create and save causal graphs and export the generated graphs for use in other graph-based packages. The main advantage of the proposed package is its ability to facilitate the linking of additional information and metadata to causal structures. In addition, the package offers a variety of functions for graph modeling and plotting, such as editing, adding, and deleting nodes and edges. It is also compatible with widely used graph data science libraries such as NetworkX and Tigramite and incorporates a specially developed causalgraph ontology in the background. This paper provides an overview of the package's main features, functionality, and usage examples, enabling the reader to use the package effectively in practice.

description: We study the nonequilibrium stationary state (NESS) induced by quantum resetting of a system of $N$ noninteracting bosons in a harmonic trap. Our protocol consists of preparing initially the system in the ground state of a harmonic oscillator centered at $+a$, followed by a rapid quench where the center is shifted to $-a$ and the system is allowed to evolve unitarily up to a random Poissonian time $τ$ distributed via $r\, e^{-r τ}$. Then the trap center is reset to $+a$ again and the system is assumed to cool instantaneously to the initial ground state. The system is again allowed to evolve unitarily in the trap centered at $-a$ up to a random time, and the procedure is repeated. Under repeated resetting, the system reaches a NESS where the positions of bosons get strongly correlated due to simultaneous resetting induced by the trap. We fully characterize the steady state by analytically computing several physical observables such as the average density, extreme value statistics, order and gap statistics, and also the distribution of the number of particles in a region $[-L,L]$, known as the full counting statistics (FCS). In particular, we show that in the large $N$ limit, the scaling function describing the FCS exhibits a striking feature: it is supported over a nontrivial finite interval, and moreover is discontinuous at an interior point of the support. Our results are supported by numerical simulations. This is a rare example of a strongly correlated quantum many-body NESS where various observables can be exactly computed.

description: How is it possible to develop safe software systems based on artificial intelligence? As simple as the question sounds, a comprehensive answer would be complex. Therefore, the white paper "Safe AI - How is it possible?" focuses on the technical design and the engineering principles of safe AI-based systems. Both of these aspects are critical to the use of cognitive systems in safety-critical applications. An example is an automatic emergency braking system in a vehicle. It can be considered safe if its use prevents accidents at least to a tolerable level in predefined situations. The white paper identifies key challenges in specification, uncertainty, safety, design, analysis, and maintenance that could jeopardize the implementation of this rigorous and precise technical design.

description: Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) has significantly advanced the efficiency of ML-focused software development by automating hyperparameter optimization and pipeline construction, reducing the need for manual intervention. Quantum Machine Learning (QML) offers the potential to surpass classical machine learning (ML) capabilities by utilizing quantum computing. However, the complexity of QML presents substantial entry barriers. We introduce \emph{AutoQML}, a novel framework that adapts the AutoML approach to QML, providing a modular and unified programming interface to facilitate the development of QML pipelines. AutoQML leverages the QML library sQUlearn to support a variety of QML algorithms. The framework is capable of constructing end-to-end pipelines for supervised learning tasks, ensuring accessibility and efficacy. We evaluate AutoQML across four industrial use cases, demonstrating its ability to generate high-performing QML pipelines that are competitive with both classical ML models and manually crafted quantum solutions.

description: Modern epidemiological investigations of infectious disease outbreaks are transitioning to routinely incorporate Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) data for microbial pathogens. WGS provides a wealth of information previously unavailable, enabling fine-level resolution of isolates using data from the entire genome, down to Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs). However, the application of WGS for genomic epidemiology continues to be hindered by the complexities of data management and analysis, often requiring considerable expertise as data progresses from the sequencer into a final report.

Here, we present IRIDA (Integrated Rapid Infectious Disease Analysis) and SNVPhyl (SNV Phylogenomics) our platform for genomic epidemiology and pipeline for SNV-based phylogenies respectively. IRIDA stores and manages WGS data and associated epidemiological metadata; provides the execution of analysis pipelines via an internal Galaxy instance, as well as visualization and evaluation of results. Capacity also exists for incorporation of IRIDA-managed data into external tools, such as independent Galaxy installations, through a REST-like API. SNVPhyl enables the classification and clustering of bacterial isolates by identifying phylogenetically informative SNVs from sequence reads. SNVPhyl is distributed as a Galaxy workflow and suite of tools; enabling incorporation within independent Galaxy instances, batch execution via a provided command-line controller script, or execution as part of the larger IRIDA package.

IRIDA and SNVPhyl have shown considerable success within Canada as we transition towards routine sequencing for surveillance and outbreak investigations. With the help of the Galaxy community we have made significant improvements over previous years and IRIDA and SNVPhyl are now freely available at https://github.com/phac-nml/irida and http://snvphyl.readthedocs.org/.
Matrix Permeability Measurements of Gas Shales: Gas Slippage and Adsorption as Sources of Systematic Error.
Creators: name: Letham, Eric Aiden
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: At pressures less than 4 MPa, matrix permeability of gas shales show a strong dependence upon the pore pressure at which they are measured. This is the result of gas slippage, a process that causes Darcy’s Law to break down during the low pressure flow of gas through porous media. In gas shales, the range of pore pressures where gas slippage is recognizable is larger than in conventional reservoir rocks. This is attributed to the smaller pore systems found in tighter rocks. The type of gas flowing through porous media also influences the matrix permeability, as the size of molecules is one of the factors that control the mean free path of a gas. For this reason, matrix permeability determined using helium as a probing gas will be different than when methane is used. Comparing this difference to the underestimation of matrix permeability resulting from neglecting to correct for adsorption, the latter is found to be negligible. Therefore, when trying to determine the matrix permeability of a rock to natural gas, no condition was identified where using helium as a probing gas would lead to a more accurate result than using methane.

description: We have observed many times that electrons and photons choose the best way amoung different ways. In fact, their motions aren't by chance or equal probability. Even, some experiments like Young's Double slit experiments and water memory could be described by the clever behaviors of electrons and photons. We can go ahead and suppose that these particles are alive. We need to redefine the concept of life. Life isnt limited to respiration or having brain and heart or even DNA. But, signatures of life could be seen by analyzing the behavior of objects. Particles like electrons could understand and response. Thus, maybe, one regard them as alive creature. If we accept this assumption, then, we can use of it in curing diseases and many other applications in biology, physics, industry and et al.

description: Pandemic, sustainability and efficiency targets pose ongoing challenges for the aviation industry: It must continue to develop propulsion concepts and tap into new materials and manufacturing processes. Cross-domain digital twins harbor previously untapped potential for mastering growing requirements with the help of digitization, as a practical example from the production of aerospace components shows in the white paper. The trend topic of sustainability drives innovation and complements productivity, quality and costs as criteria for strategic corporate decisions. Awareness of this must be consolidated among personnel, as well as the ability to manage resilient processes. Such processes ensure the successful handling of disruptions. In this way, a disruption can even turn into an opportunity. In the white paper, the Fraunhofer IPT pools its expert knowledge on how the dimensions of "technology", "digitalization", "sustainability" and "employees" can be combined in the context of aviation in order to seize this opportunity.
The role of lumber futures markets for forest products firms : do forest products firms take positions in lumber futures market
Creators: name: Wong, Jack
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: The theory of the firm under price uncertainty and the role of futures market have been the subject of numerous studies. According to Feder, Just and Schmitz, firms are under price uncertainty and futures contracts are playing an increasingly important role in the commodity markets (Feder et al. 317). In 1969, large forest products firms began engaging in hedge practices in order to mitigate their exposures to change in supply and change in inventory price. Forest products firms acquire their input from forest operation and sell their output to lumber product manufacturers. The output prices vary depending mainly on the spot price of lumber in the commodity markets. Assuming that the forest products firms are risk-adverse, these firms will benefit from writing lumber futures contracts in order to reduce their exposures to output price fluctuations due to variation in market players’ objectives and expectations. This paper investigates how large forest products firms use the lumber futures market to achieve their business objectives. Comparison and analysis of academic research from economists and industry professionals have demonstrated that futures markets aim the forest products producers facilitate risk management, discover future prices, and make decisions under uncertainty. With these benefits, it is reasonable to assume that the use of lumber futures is a common practice in the forest product industries. To determine the extent of use of lumber futures contracts, I analyze the financial statements of five public North America forest product companies. My research has shown that only one out of the five forest product companies participate in the lumber futures market. Therefore, this paper also aims to examine the reasons for this lack of participation.

description: Das Whitepaper »Immersive Urban Food Landscapes« beschäftigt sich mit der urbanen Lebensmittelproduktion und -versorgung. Es basiert auf einem gleichnamigen Projekt in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Werksviertel-Mitte in München im Rahmen des Netzwerks »Wissenschaft, Kunst und Design« der Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. In einem ersten Schritt wird dargestellt, wie die Forschenden des Fraunhofer IAO die generelle Relevanz und Machbarkeit sowie die lokalen Rahmenbedingungen des Werksviertel-Mitte im Hinblick auf eine urbane Selbstversorgung untersucht haben. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden die identifizierten Einflussfaktoren auf die zukünftige Lebensmittelversorgung und die damit verbundenen Potenziale innovativer Produktionsformen und Technologien der urbanen Landwirtschaft beschrieben. Weiterhin wird erläutert, wie im Rahmen des Projektes mit Kunstschaffenden zusammengearbeitet wurde, um die wissenschaftliche Arbeit zu hinterfragen und an der Schnittstelle zur Wissenschaftskommunikation für das Projektthema zu sensibilisieren. Den größten Teil des Whitepapers nimmt die Präsentation der zentralen Projektergebnisse ein. Dies sind zum einen drei Zukunftsszenarien zur urbanen Lebensmittelproduktion und -versorgung im Jahr 2035 am Beispiel des Werksviertel-Mitte: »Urbane Bauernhofromantik«, »Urbane Hightech-Landwirtschaft« und »Urbaner Gemeinschaftsgarten«, zum anderen aus den Szenarien entwickelte Kunstwerke, die im Rahmen des Projekts in einer Ausstellung mit dem Titel »fu:topia« erlebbar gemacht wurden. Abschließend werden die Herausforderungen und Stärken der künstlerisch-wissenschaftlichen Zusammenarbeit im Projekt diskutiert, woraus sich wertvolle Erkenntnisse für vergleichbare zukünftige Projekte ableiten lassen.

description: Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) ran the first specialized Ebola treatment centre for pregnant women in Freetown (METC), Sierra Leone between January and September 2015. This study describes the first series of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) suspected pregnant women negatively tested to evaluate the impact of EVD. Among suspected pregnant patients that matched the Ebola case definition, only a minority confirmed positive for EVD, suggesting that further efforts to develop rapid diagnostic tests and clear case definitions are needed.

description: The aim of this chapter is to analyze the opportunities and limitations of programme funding for the transformation of science systems. In recent years, various societal drivers have increased the pressure on the science system to legitimize the use of public funds. It is no longer sufficient to achieve goals intrinsic to research, such as contributing to the development of theory and methods or achieving knowledge gains. Furthermore, the contribution that research makes to solving problems matters, especially in the area of major societal challenges. This debate is strongly linked to keywords such as Sustainable Development Goals, Societal Impacts, the "New social contract of science", the mission and transformation orientation of research policy, the public value of research, next generation metrics as well as different policy frames that shape research and research funding (see also Ulnicane and Aleman Diaz in this handbook). All these keywords revolve around the questions of 1) what are legitimate expectations of science and its role in the innovation system, 2) how would internal structures and processes in the science sector need to change in order to meet external expectations, and 3) what can public research funding concretely offer to foster change. In our chapter, we focus on the question, what public programme funding, in particular, can realistically contribute to initiating, shaping, accompanying, or accelerating the change processes outlined above. The chapter is structured as follows: In the following section two, we critically review the existing literature on transformative research and corresponding research funding approaches, using sustainability research as an example. The concept of (conflicting) policy frames (see also Ulnicane and Aleman Diaz in this handbook) offers a helpful lens through which these transformative changes can be described, namely the “republic of science” (Polanyi) versus "the societal function of research" (Bernal) (cited from Ulnicane, forthcoming). In the third section, we describe the role of research funding for enabling but also changing research processes, before we present the German funding framework to promote sustainability research (FONA) as an empirical illustration, in section 4. The chapter ends with a critical assessment of gaps and future research directions.

description: Background: Observations of children’s play are crucial for evaluating the use of playgrounds. Today, human-based direct observation tools such as the System for Observing Play and Leisure Activity in Youth (SOPLAY) are commonly used. These tools have limitations: they are resource-intensive, the scalability is limited, they do not allow long-term measurement, and there is a risk of human-induced bias.

Aim: In theory, cameras-based observations and computer vision can effectively address these challenges. However, in practice there are still many barriers. We are developing a solution resolving the quirks and obstacles we have encountered.

Methods and Results: Preliminary analysis is underway, utilising footage from outdoor playgrounds by a video camera processed through the YOLO computer vision model. Validation is achieved by comparing the model's automated detection of time spent and occupancy in specific areas of interest (e.g., equipment) with human-annotated ground truth data.

Conclusions: We have successfully demonstrated our concept's feasibility and identified potential users eager to adopt our solution. However, to meet the specific needs of both our target users and the research community, further development, validation, and rigorous real-world testing are required. To accelerate this process, we are actively seeking collaborative opportunities.
Substrate stiffness modulates bacterial adhesion and diversity of adherent phenotypes across growth stages

description: Surface-adhesion and stiffness of underlying substrates mediate geometry, mechanics and self-organization of bacterial colonies. Recent studies have qualitatively indicted that stiffness may impact bacterial attachment, yet the variation of cell-to-surface adhesion with substrate stiffness remains to be quantified. Here, by developing a cell-level Force Distance Spectroscopy (FDS) technique based on Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), we simultaneously quantify the cell-surface adhesion alongside stiffness of the underlying substrates to reveal stiffness-dependent adhesion in phototrophic bacterium Chromatium okenii. As stiffness of the soft substrate, modelled via low-melting-point (LMP) agarose pad, was varied between 20 kPa and 120 kPa by changing agarose concentrations, we observe a progressive increase of the mean adhesion force by over an order of magnitude, from 0.21 (+/-0.10) nN to 2.42 (+/-1.16) nN. In contrast, passive polystyrene (PS) microparticles of comparable dimensions showed no perceptible change in their surface adhesion. Furthermore, for Escherichia coli, the cell-surface adhesion varied between 0.29 (+/-0.17) nN to 0.39 (+/-0.20) nN, showing a weak dependence on the substrate stiffness, thus suggesting that the stiffness-modulated adhesion is a species-specific trait. Finally, by quantifying the adhesion of C. okenii populations across growth stages, we report an emergent co-existence of weak and strongly adherent sub-populations, demonstrating a diversification of adherent phenotypes over time. Taken together, these findings suggest that bacteria, depending on the species and their physiological stage, actively modulate cell-to-surface adhesion in response to substrate stiffness, and leverage it as a functional trait to modulate initial attachment and colonization on soft substrates during early stages of biofilm development.

Searching for Stable Massive Particles in the ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: The search for new particles is an important topic in modern particle physics. New stable massive particles are predicted by various models, including R-parity conserving variants of supersymmetry. The ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker can be used to look for charged stable massive particles by using the momentum and velocity of particles passing through the detector to calculate its mass. A program named TRTCHAMP has been written to perform this analysis. Recently, ATLAS changed their data retention policies to phase out the use of a particular format of output file created during reconstruction. TRTCHAMP relies on this file type, and therefore this change prevents the algorithm from working in its original state. However, this problem can be resolved by integrating TRTCHAMP into the official reconstruction, which has now been done. This paper documents the changes involved in integrating TRTCHAMP with the existing InDetLowBetaFinder reconstruction package. Topics discussed include the structure of reconstruction algorithms in ATLAS, the retrieval of calibration constants from the detector conditions database, and the parsing of necessary parameters from multiple reconstruction data containers. To conclude, the output of TRTCHAMP is shown to accurately estimate the velocity of protons in minimum bias tracks. Additionally, mass plots generated with the TRTCHAMP results are shown to agree with the known mass for both monte carlo and real protons in minimum bias tracks, and agreement is shown between the input and output masses for a monte carlo sample of 300 GeV R-Hadrons.
