description: Discrimination can contribute to adverse mental health outcomes among individuals in romantic partnerships. However, research has yet to examine how differences in partner race/ethnicity can shape the link between gendered racial microaggressions, an intersectional form of discrimination, and depressive symptoms among Asian American women. Accordingly, we assessed the link between gendered racial microaggressions and depressive symptoms, and whether partner race/ethnicity (White vs. Asian) moderated the link. Using a sample of 156 Asian American women (Mₐ₉ₑ = 26.5, SD = 5.33), we conducted multiple regressions to assess the main effects between four gendered racial microaggression stress subscale factors and depressive symptoms. We then examined partner race/ethnicity as a moderator in these associations. All four gendered racial microaggression stress subscale factors of ascribed submissiveness, assumptions of universal appearance, Asian fetishism, and media invalidation significantly predicted greater depressive symptoms. However, only Asian fetishism experiences maintained a significant and positive association with depressive symptoms for Asian American women with White male partners. The association between Asian fetishism and depressive symptoms was no longer significant for Asian American women with Asian male partners. Results indicate that Asian fetishization may be a uniquely oppressive experience for Asian American women with White partners that can contribute to greater depressive symptoms. These findings demonstrate an increased need for the development of critical consciousness in individual and couples counseling sessions to help Asian American women and their romantic partners identify and mitigate the negative effects of gendered racial microaggressions.

description: A crucial challenge in the safe operation of adaptive controllers is the problem of parameter drift, where an underlying optimization problem, if ill-conditioned, may lead to parameter drift. This paper presents a Wiener adaptive autopilot for multicopters to mitigate instabilities caused by adaptive parameter drift and presents simulation and experimental results to validate the modified autopilot. The modified adaptive controller is obtained by including a static nonlinearity in the adaptive loop, updated by the retrospective cost adaptive control algorithm. It is shown in simulation and physical test experiments that the adaptive autopilot with proposed modifications can continually improve the fixed-gain autopilot as well as prevent the drift of the adaptive parameters, thus improving the robustness of the adaptive autopilot.

description: Tea quality is often evaluated by experienced tea tasters; however, their assessments are subjective, being influenced by their individual physiological and psychological condition. Herein, we fabricated a colorimetric sensor array-based artificial olfactory system for sensing the quality of Chinese green tea. First, the colorimetric sensors array was man-made using printing 12 chemically responsive dyes (9 porphyrins, metalloporphyrins and 3 pH indicators) on silica-gel flat plate. The plate was exposed to volatile organic compounds, and the colour changes in each sample were obtained by distinguishing between the images of sensor array before and after contact with tea sample. The values of colour composition changes were extracted from the dyes’ colour sections. Multivariate calibrations were applied through principal component analysis and back propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN) for modelling. The optimum BP-ANN model was obtained with nine principal components, and the discrimination rate was equal to 85% and 86% in the calibration and prediction sets, respectively. We thus conclude that the low cost colorimetric sensor array-based artificial olfactory technique has great potential for application in intelligent evaluation of the quality of green tea.

description: An analysis method was developed for the separation and quantification of hesperidin, neohesperidin, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone and hesperetin by using HPLC-UV. Single factor experiments and Box-Behnken Designs were used to optimize separation of four flavonoids, in which a gradient elution method was adopted with 99% acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid as mobile phases at a flow rate of 0.9 mL/min. A C18 column was used with a column temperature of 35 °C. LODs and LOQs were below 0.84 µg/mL and 2.84 µg/mL, respectively. Linearity with good correlation coefficients (r > 0.99, n = 5) was attained, recovery rate of four flavonoids ranged from 88% to 130%, the RSD indicating results precision for analyzing hesperidin, neohesperidin, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone and hesperetin ranged from 1.2% to 4.6%. Finally, the present method could be successfully applied to identify and quantify hesperidin, neohesperidin and hesperetin in Fructus Aurantii Immaturus and Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae.

description: The present work aims at studying process parameters affecting coating of minitablets (3 mm in diameter) through Wurster coating process. Minitablets of Naproxen with high drug loading were manufactured using 3 mm multi-tip punches. The release profile of core pellets (published) and minitablets was compared with that of marketed formulation. The core formulation of minitablets was found to show similarity in dissolution profile with marketed formulation and hence was further carried forward for functional coating over it. Wurster processing was implemented to pursue functional coating over core formulation. Different process parameters were screened and control strategy was applied for factors significantly affecting the process. Modified Plackett Burman Design was applied for studying important factors. Based on the significant factors and minimum level of coating required for functionalization, optimized process was executed. Final coated batch was evaluated for coating thickness, surface morphology, and drug release study.

description: Temperature Modulated calorimetry is widely used but still raises some fundamental questions. In this paper we study a model system as a test sample to address some of them. The model has a nontrivial spectrum of relaxation times. We investigate temperature modulated calorimetry at constant average temperature to precise the meaning of the frequency-dependent heat capacity, its relation with entropy production, and how such measurements can observe the aging of a glassy sample leading to a time-dependent heat capacity. The study of the Kovacs effect for an out-of-equilibrium system shows how temperature modulated calorimetry could contribute to the understanding of this memory effect. Then we compare measurements of standard scanning calorimetry and temperature-modulated calorimetry and show how the two methods are complementary because they do not observe the same features. While it can probe the time scales of energy transfers in a system, even in the limit of low frequency temperature modulated calorimetry does not probe some relaxation phenomena which can be measured by scanning calorimetry, as suggested by experiments with glasses.

description: While there is an extensive literature on the tendency to mimic emotional expressions in adults, it is unclear how this skill emerges and develops over time. Specifically, it is unclear whether infants mimic discrete emotion-related facial actions, whether their facial displays are moderated by contextual cues and whether infants’ emotional mimicry is constrained by developmental changes in the ability to discriminate emotions. We therefore investigate these questions using Baby-FACS to code infants’ facial displays and eye-movement tracking to examine infants’ looking times at facial expressions. Three-, 7-, and 12-month-old participants were exposed to dynamic facial expressions (joy, anger, fear, disgust, sadness) of a virtual model which either looked at the infant or had an averted gaze. Infants did not match emotion-specific facial actions shown by the model, but they produced valence-congruent facial responses to the distinct expressions. Furthermore, only the 7- and 12-month-olds displayed negative responses to the model’s negative expressions and they looked more at areas of the face recruiting facial actions involved in specific expressions. Our results suggest that valence-congruent expressions emerge in infancy during a period where the decoding of facial expressions becomes increasingly sensitive to the social signal value of emotions.

Symbolic Search for Optimal Planning with Expressive Extensions

description: In classical planning, the goal is to derive a course of actions that allows an intelligent agent to move from any situation it finds itself in to one that satisfies its goals. Classical planning is considered domain-independent, i.e., it is not limited to a particular application and can be used to solve different types of reasoning problems. In practice, however, some properties of a planning problem at hand require an expressive extension of the standard classical planning formalism to capture and model them. Although the importance of many of these extensions is well known, most planners, especially optimal planners, do not support these extended planning formalisms. The lack of support not only limits the use of these planners for certain problems, but even if it is possible to model the problems without these extensions, it often leads to increased effort in modeling or makes modeling practically impossible as the required problem encoding size increases exponentially. In this thesis, we propose to use symbolic search for cost-optimal planning for different expressive extensions of classical planning, all capturing different aspects of the problem. In particular, we study planning with axioms, planning with state-dependent action costs, oversubscription planning, and top-k planning. For all formalisms, we present complexity and compilability results, highlighting that it is desirable and even necessary to natively support the corresponding features. We analyze symbolic heuristic search and show that the search performance does not always benefit from the use of a heuristic and that the search performance can exponentially deteriorate even under the best possible circumstances, namely the perfect heuristic. This reinforces that symbolic blind search is the dominant symbolic search strategy nowadays, on par with other state-of-the-art cost-optimal planning strategies...

description: Atmospheric gravity waves are produced when gravity attempts to restore disturbances through stable layers in the atmosphere. They have a visible effect on many atmospheric phenomena such as global circulation and air turbulence. Despite their importance, however, little research has been conducted on how to detect gravity waves using machine learning algorithms. We faced two major challenges in our research: our raw data had a lot of noise and the labeled dataset was extremely small. In this study, we explored various methods of preprocessing and transfer learning in order to address those challenges. We pre-trained an autoencoder on unlabeled data before training it to classify labeled data. We also created a custom CNN by combining certain pre-trained layers from the InceptionV3 Model trained on ImageNet with custom layers and a custom learning rate scheduler. Experiments show that our best model outperformed the best performing baseline model by 6.36% in terms of test accuracy.

description: The dependence of the actual/effective ionic concentration on the nominal salt concentration is experimentally investigated for aqueous solutions of NaCl and KCl. The actual ionic bulk density is determined by means of the impedance spectroscopy technique using two approaches for the data analysis: A first approach scrutinizing the real part's plateau of the cell's electric impedance spectrum versus the bulk density of dopant when the impedance is written in the series representation. A second one via extraction of the ionic density from simultaneously fitting of the real and imaginary parts of the impedance spectrum by using the Poisson-Nernst-Planck model. The validity of this procedure reposes on the hypothesis that both the diffusion coefficient and the dielectric constant are independent from the salt concentration in the explored range of concentrations. Our experimental results indicate that a first-order reaction describes well the dissociation phenomenon. The dissociation-association ratio of the reaction has been calculated. Deviations from linearity appear at rather low concentrations of the order of mM.

description: Small satellites are efficient at performing Earth science from space due to their limited cost and size. Small satellites (cubesats) achieve much with limited power production/storage, heat dissipation, data storage, and ground contact points/bandwidth. As such it is beneficial to offload as much as possible to ground support systems. Consider the HyperAngular Rainbow Polarimeter (HARP) Cubesat. Its goals were to serve as a technical demonstration prior to the development of HARP2 aboard the NASA Plankton Aerosol Cloud and ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission and to serve as an Earth viewing remote sensing platform which measured the characteristics of clouds and aerosols. HARP cubesat was limited to taking 5-minute capture sequences once every 24 h. It took approximately 10 such captures before it needed to perform data downlink and have its memory cleared for continued use. A ground station at NASA Wallops supported HARP with approximately three points of contact each day. To maximize the value of each capture, ground support software was developed leveraging public data to inform the schedule of each capture. In this paper, we review the algorithms and data sources that allowed us to: 1; predict the HARP orbital track a week in advance, 2; predict also the location of other remote sensing satellites and ground stations relative to HARP, 3; predict the ground view geometry of the instrument along its orbital track, 4; compare global climatological data products of clouds and aerosols along the predicted orbital tracks, and 5; identify and integrate important ground target locations based on remote sensing literature and ongoing natural phenomena. This HARP Orbital Prediction System (HOPS) made HARP into a successful technical demonstration which also offered significant science value. The HOPS system presents a valuable methodology for small satellites to operate efficiently despite their limited capabilities. HOPS is also a useful testbed for studying the sensitivity of scene geometry. Using HOPS, we show that for a wide field-of-view (FOV) instrument, like HARP, latitude/longitude geolocation varies by approximately 0.1° at a height of 8–10 km. Scattering angles vary less than 0.01° at similar heights, with the worst performance near direct backscatter (180°).
Phylogenetic reassessment of Pisanosaurus mertii Casamiquela, 1967, a basal dinosauriform from the Late Triassic of Argentina

description: Pisanosaurus mertii was originally described on the basis of an incomplete skeleton from the early Late Triassic (Carnian) of northern Argentina. It is consistently regarded by most authors as a very basal ornithischian, the sister group of remaining members of the clade. The referral to Ornithischia is based mainly on tooth-bearing bones and tooth morphology. On the other hand, the postcranium is recognized as strikingly plesiomorphic for ornithischians, and even for dinosaurs. The recent description of non-dinosaurian dinosauriforms of the clade Silesauridae having ornithischian-like dentition invites a review of the phylogenetic affinities of Pisanosaurus. In this regard, an overview of the holotype specimen allows a reanalysis of previous anatomical interpretations of this taxon. The phylogenetic analysis presented here suggests that Pisanosaurus may be better interpreted as a member of the non-dinosaurian Silesauridae. It shares with silesaurids reduced denticles on the teeth, teeth fused to maxilla and dentary bone, sacral ribs shared between two sacral vertebrae, lateral side of proximal tibia with a fibular flange, and dorsoventrally flattened pedal ungual phalanges. The present analysis indicates that Pisanosaurus should be removed from the base of the Ornithischia and should no longer be considered the oldest representative of this dinosaurian clade.

description: This deliverable presents a workflow to integrate authoritative LULC and citizen-observed data in order to update the authoritative LULC data. The approach is based on data fusion techniques. Each type of citizen-observed data is modelled as a source of information (one data set for each type of data), and pieces of information are fused by using Dempster-Shafer Theory. The workflow is tested for the update of authoritative LULC data produced by IGN-France by integrating citizen-observed data coming from the LandSense campaigns (Demo case 1, Toulouse pilot). Despite the heterogeneity and the limited amount of citizen-observed data sets used here, the results are promising and show the potential in using citizen-observed data to update or potentially enrich authoritative LULC data.

description: Due to its low intrinsic damping, Y$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$ and its substituted variations are often used for ferromagnetic layer at spin pumping experiment. Spin pumping is an interfacial spin current generation in the interface of ferromagnet and non-magnetic metal, governed by spin mixing conductance parameter $G^{\uparrow\downarrow}$. $G^{\uparrow\downarrow}$ has been shown to enhance the damping of the ferromagnetic layer. The theory suggested that the effect of $G^{\uparrow\downarrow}$ on gyromagnetic ratio only come from its negligible imaginary part. In this article, we show that the different damping of ferrimagnetic lattices induced by $G^{\uparrow\downarrow}$ can affect the gyromagnetic ratio of Gd-substituted Y$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$.

description: In multi-principal element alloys, dislocation motion and lattice diffusion are two key plasticity carriers, which are strongly interacted with the local chemical order. While in creep deformation, the difference between the impediment of the local chemical order on dislocation motion and lattice diffusion, along with the temperature dependency of such difference, is an intriguing topic that remains unsolved. By atomistic simulations on a typical NiCoCr system and rationalization with classic constitutive models, we found that the lattice diffusion receives less impediment compared to dislocation glide so that transition of creep mechanisms presents in a chemically ordered system. The critical stress of transition is tuned by temperature. Combined atomistic simulations and theoretical model physically decouple the creep mechanisms in a NiCoCr multi-principal element alloy and clarify the critical role of chemical ordering in driving the transition in the deformation mechanism.

description: Valvular repair or transplantation, designed to restore the venous valve function of the legs, has been proposed as treatment in chronic venous insufficiency. Available grafts or surgeries have provided limited durability so far. Generating venous valve substitutes by means of tissue engineering could be a solution. We generated decellularized jugular ovine vein conduits containing valves (oVVC) after reseeding with ovine endothelial cells differentiated from peripheral blood-derived endothelial cells (oPBEC), cultivated in vitro corresponding to the circulatory situation in the lower leg at rest and under exertion. oVVC were decellularized by detergent treatment. GFP-labeled oPBEC were seeded onto the luminal side of the decellularized oVVC and cultivated under static-rotational conditions for 6 h (group I) and 12 h (group II), respectively. Reseeded matrices of group I were exposed to continuous low flow conditions (“leg at rest”). The tissues of group II were exposed to a gradually increasing flow (“leg under effort”). After 5 days, the grafts of group I revealed a uniform luminal endothelial cell coverage of the examined areas of the venous walls and adjacent venous valve leaflets. In group II, the cell coverage on luminal areas of the venous wall parts was found to be nearly complete. The endothelial cell coverage of adjacent venous valve leaflets was revealed to be less dense and confluent. Endothelial cells cultured on acellular vein tissues of both groups were distinctly orientated uniformly in the flow direction, clearly creating a stable and flow-orientated layer. Thus, an endothelium could successfully be reestablished on the luminal surface of a decellularized venous valve by seeding peripheral blood endothelial cells and culturing under different conditions.

description: This paper presents an exhaustive study about the robustness of several parameterizations, with a new database specially acquired for the purpose of a speaker recognition application. This database includes the following variations: different recording sessions (including telephonic and microphonic recordings), recording rooms, and languages (it has been obtained from a bilingual set of speakers). This study has been performed with covariance matrices in a text independent speaker verification application. It reveals that the combination of several parameterizations can improve the robustness in all the scenarios.

description: This work proposes a new design strategy for overcoming the strength-ductility trade-off of γ′′-strengthened multi-component alloys at intermediate-temperatures. By increasing the V content, the alloy’s ductility is enhanced accordingly (650°C tensile-elongation, 9.85%→15.97%) without compromising strength. This enhancement is attributed to the improved stability of γ′′, which results in a suppression of brittle ε lamellae forming at grain boundaries after deformation and a reduction in γ/γ′′ lattice misfit. Concurrently, the increasing V content increases the γ′′ volume fraction, offsetting potential strength loss due to the lattice misfit reduction.

description: The metric-adjusted skew information establishes a connection between the geometrical formulation of quantum statistics and the measures of quantum information. We study uncertainty relations in product and summation forms of metric-adjusted skew information. We present lower bounds on product and summation uncertainty inequalities based on metric-adjusted skew information via operator representation of observables. Explicit examples are provided to back our claims.

Postdoctoral

description: Biomedical faculty positions require experience as a postdoctoral scholar (or "postdoc"). However, there is a current misalignment with postdoctoral training and workforce needs within higher education. The majority of postdocs are trained to be research faculty while completing fellowships at research-intensive universities, despite the fact that the majority of US higher educational institutions (where these postdocs may be employed) focus on undergraduate education. This leads to postdoctoral scholars not having the opportunity to gain exposure to different institutional types where they could be employed. Importantly, they also lack the opportunity to build a network or receive mentorship from faculty at non-R1 institutions. This may be particularly true of underrepresented scholars. In this brief report, we describe the practice of the NSF-funded PROMISE Academy Alliance to bridge this training gap and support greater preparation for faculty careers at an array of institutional types by leveraging collaboration within a state university system. A survey of PROMISE Academy Fellows about their structured experiences engaging with other campuses (e.g., campus tours, workshops, speaking opportunities) reveals that visits to other campuses within the state system are informative and impactful, both on their research and their employment interests. The positive findings can hopefully inspire easy-to-implement changes in postdoctoral support across other university systems or regional consortia.

description: Tea quality is often evaluated by experienced tea tasters; however, their assessments are subjective, being influenced by their individual physiological and psychological condition. Herein, we fabricated a colorimetric sensor array-based artificial olfactory system for sensing the quality of Chinese green tea. First, the colorimetric sensors array was man-made using printing 12 chemically responsive dyes (9 porphyrins, metalloporphyrins and 3 pH indicators) on silica-gel flat plate. The plate was exposed to volatile organic compounds, and the colour changes in each sample were obtained by distinguishing between the images of sensor array before and after contact with tea sample. The values of colour composition changes were extracted from the dyes’ colour sections. Multivariate calibrations were applied through principal component analysis and back propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN) for modelling. The optimum BP-ANN model was obtained with nine principal components, and the discrimination rate was equal to 85% and 86% in the calibration and prediction sets, respectively. We thus conclude that the low cost colorimetric sensor array-based artificial olfactory technique has great potential for application in intelligent evaluation of the quality of green tea.

description: We examine the efficiency of traditional school districts versus charter schools in providing students with teachers who meet their demographic and education needs. Using panel data from the state of Michigan, we estimate the relationship between enrollment of Black, Hispanic, special education, and English learner students and the presence of Black, Hispanic, Special Education, and ESL teachers, and test whether this relationship differs at charter and traditional district-run schools. Because charter schools typically have less market power in hiring than large districts, we compare charter school employment practices to traditional public schools in districts of comparable size. Our results suggest that charter schools are more likely to employ same race teachers for Black students but not Hispanic students, and districts schools are slightly better at providing ESL and SPED teachers. We conclude that charter autonomy does not necessary generate better student-teacher matches, but Michigan charters may occupy a market niche by serving Black students and staffing Black teachers.

description: Introduction: Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) consists of providing antimicrobial therapy by parenteral infusion without hospitalization. A systematic review was performed to compare OPAT and hospitalization as health care modalities from an economic perspective. Areas covered: We identified 1455 articles using 13 electronic databases and manual searches. Two independent reviewers identified 35 studies conducted between 1978 and 2016. We observed high heterogeneity in the following: countries, infection site, OPAT strategies and outcomes analyzed. Of these, 88% had a retrospective observational design and one was a randomized trial. With respect to economic analyses, 71% of the studies considered the cost-consequences, 11% cost minimization, 6% cost-benefit, 6% cost-utility analyses and 6% cost effectiveness. Considering all 35 studies, the general OPAT cost saving was 57.19% (from −13.03% to 95.47%). Taking into consideration only high-quality studies (6 comparative studies), the cost saving declined by 16.54% (from −13.03% to 46.86%). Expert commentary: Although most studies demonstrate that OPAT is cost-effective, the magnitude of this effect is compromised by poor methodological quality and heterogeneity. Economic assessments of the issue are needed using more rigorous methodologies that include a broad range of perspectives to identify the real magnitude of economic savings in different settings and OPAT modalities.

description: We investigate the problem of extracting rules, expressed in Horn logic, from neural network models. Our work is based on the exact learning model, in which a learner interacts with a teacher (the neural network model) via queries in order to learn an abstract target concept, which in our case is a set of Horn rules. We consider partial interpretations to formulate the queries. These can be understood as a representation of the world where part of the knowledge regarding the truthiness of propositions is unknown. We employ Angluin s algorithm for learning Horn rules via queries and evaluate our strategy empirically.

description: Objectives: To elucidate the genetic variability between heavy drinkers with and without alcoholic hepatitis (AH). Materials and methods: An exploratory genome-wide association study (GWAS; NCT02172898) was conducted comparing 90 AH cases with 93 heavy drinking matched controls without liver disease in order to identify variants or genes associated with risk for AH. Individuals were genotyped using the multi-ethnic genotyping array, after which the data underwent conventional quality control. Using bioinformatics tools, pathways associated with AH were explored on the basis of individual variants, and based on genes with a higher ’burden’ of functional variation. Results: Although no single variant reached genome-wide significance, an association signal was observed for PNPLA3 rs738409 (p = .01, OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.1–3.1), a common single nucleotide polymorphism that has been associated with a variety of liver-related pathologies including alcoholic cirrhosis. Using the improved gene set enrichment analysis for GWAS tool, it was shown that, based on the single variants’ trait-association p-values, multiple pathways were associated with risk for AH with high confidence (false discovery rate [FDR] Conclusion: This preliminary analysis suggests a role for PNPLA3 variation and several gene sets/pathways that may influence risk for AH among heavy drinkers.
