description: Long story generation (LSG) is one of the coveted goals in natural language processing. Different from most text generation tasks, LSG requires to output a long story of rich content based on a much shorter text input, and often suffers from information sparsity. In this paper, we propose \emph{TopNet} to alleviate this problem, by leveraging the recent advances in neural topic modeling to obtain high-quality skeleton words to complement the short input. In particular, instead of directly generating a story, we first learn to map the short text input to a low-dimensional topic distribution (which is pre-assigned by a topic model). Based on this latent topic distribution, we can use the reconstruction decoder of the topic model to sample a sequence of inter-related words as a skeleton for the story. Experiments on two benchmark datasets show that our proposed framework is highly effective in skeleton word selection and significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art models in both automatic evaluation and human evaluation.

Hierarchical Hough all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in LIGO S5 data
Creators: name: de la Jordana, Llucia Sancho
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We describe a new pipeline used to analyze the data from the fifth science run (S5) of the LIGO detectors to search for continuous gravitational waves from isolated spinning neutron stars. The method employed is based on the Hough transform, which is a semi-coherent, computationally efficient, and robust pattern recognition technique. The Hough transform is used to find signals in the time-frequency plane of the data whose frequency evolution fits the pattern produced by the Doppler shift imposed on the signal by the Earth's motion and the pulsar's spin-down during the observation period. The main differences with respect to previous Hough all-sky searches are described. These differences include the use of a two-step hierarchical Hough search, analysis of coincidences among the candidates produced in the first and second year of S5, and veto strategies based on a $χ^2$ test.

Fermi LAT Observations of LS I +61 303: First detection of an orbital modulation in GeV Gamma Rays
Creators: name: Abdo, A. A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This Letter presents the first results from the observations of LSI +61 303 using Large Area Telescope data from the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope between 2008 August and 2009 March. Our results indicate variability that is consistent with the binary period, with the emission being modulated at 26.6 +/- 0.5 days. This constitutes the first detection of orbital periodicity in high-energy gamma rays (20 MeV-100 GeV, HE). The light curve is characterized by a broad peak after periastron, as well as a smaller peak just before apastron. The spectrum is best represented by a power law with an exponential cutoff, yielding an overall flux above 100 MeV of 0.82 +/- 0.03(stat) +/- 0.07(syst) 10^{-6} ph cm^{-2} s^{-1}, with a cutoff at 6.3 +/- 1.1(stat) +/- 0.4(syst) GeV and photon index Gamma = 2.21 +/- 0.04(stat) +/- 0.06(syst). There is no significant spectral change with orbital phase. The phase of maximum emission, close to periastron, hints at inverse Compton scattering as the main radiation mechanism. However, previous very high-energy gamma ray (>100 GeV, VHE) observations by MAGIC and VERITAS show peak emission close to apastron. This and the energy cutoff seen with Fermi suggest the link between HE and VHE gamma rays is nontrivial.

Year: 2014

description: Dentro de la vasta producción visual brossiana, la obra múltiple o seriada producida desde 1970 recoge un conjunto de más de ciento quince poemas. Este material permitió la entrada de Brossa en las galerías de arte y le abrió la posibilidad de ser conocido de una manera más amplia. Este artículo resigue los precedentes visuales en la obra del poeta hasta la aparición del concretismo. A continuación se describen las principales ediciones visuales seriadas y se ponen de relieve las características, la procedencia y la temática de los poemas. Finalmente se pone en paralelo la disminución de la realización de poemas visuales al final de su vida con el incremento de las instalaciones o los poemas urbanos. En las conclusiones también se destaca la relación de este tipo de obras con el resto de la producción de Joan Brossa por la temática e intención de todo el conjunto. En el fondo la experimentación propia de la poesía visual está íntimamente relacionada con el transformismo inherente al teatro y a la poesía.

description: In this paper, we tackle the inductive semi-supervised learning problem that aims to obtain label predictions for out-of-sample data. The proposed approach, called Optimal Transport Induction (OTI), extends efficiently an optimal transport based transductive algorithm (OTP) to inductive tasks for both binary and multi-class settings. A series of experiments are conducted on several datasets in order to compare the proposed approach with state-of-the-art methods. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. We make our code publicly available (Code is available at: https://github.com/MouradElHamri/OTI).

description: We have carried out temperature and pressure-dependent Raman and x-ray measurements on single crystals of Tb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$. We attribute the observed anomalous temperature dependence of phonons to phonon-phonon anharmonic interactions. The quasiharmonic and anharmonic contributions to the temperature-dependent changes in phonon frequencies are estimated quantitatively using mode Grüneisen parameters derived from pressure-dependent Raman experiments and bulk modulus from high pressure x-ray measurements. Further, our Raman and x-ray data suggest a subtle structural deformation of the pyrochlore lattice at $\sim$ 9 GPa. We discuss possible implications of our results on the spin-liquid behaviour of Tb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$.

description: We report on inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements on the molecular spin ring CsFe$_8$, in which eight spin-5/2 Fe(III) ions are coupled by nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic Heisenberg interaction. We have recorded INS data on a non-deuterated powder sample up to high energies at the time-of-flight spectrometers FOCUS at PSI and MARI at ISIS, which clearly show the excitation of spin waves in the ring. Due to the small number of spin sites, the spin-wave dispersion relation is not continuous but quantized. Furthermore, the system exhibits a gap between the ground state and the first excited state. We have modeled our data using exact diagonalization of a Heisenberg-exchange Hamiltonian together with a small single-ion anisotropy term. Due to the molecule's symmetry, only two parameters $J$ and $D$ are needed to obtain excellent agreement with the data. The results can be well described within the framework of the rotational-band model as well as antiferromagnetic spin-wave theories.

Year: 2019

description: An accessible resource for technical staff working in health policy keen to build Health Technology Assessment (HTA) processes in their own countries, developed in consultation with end users.

The Toolkit document is broken down into ‘building blocks’, enabling readers to develop their understanding of: setting the scene for HTA; compiling the best HTA evidence; HTA as an inclusive process; building capacity to support HTA; ensuring political commitment; and setting up a transparent and consistent process.

Staff from ministries of health, health insurers and other health agencies helped contribute to the development of iDSI’s HTA Toolkit by reviewing proposed content on the building blocks of a sustainable and locally relevant HTA mechanism for priority setting.

After the evaluation of detailed feedback on content from 23 reviewers iDSI set out to produce a Toolkit that met the needs of the intended audience (to inform technical staff in ministries of health in low and middle income countries about HTA processes and institutions); was understandable and written with clarity; and provided useful resources and country information.

description: In one-component abelian sandpile models, the toppling probabilities are independent quantities. This is not the case in multi-component models. The condition of associativity of the underlying abelian algebras impose nonlinear relations among the toppling probabilities. These relations are derived for the case of two-component quadratic abelian algebras. We show that abelian sandpile models with two conservation laws have only trivial avalanches.

description: Federated Learning (FL) is a suitable solution for making use of sensitive data belonging to patients, people, companies, or industries that are obligatory to work under rigid privacy constraints. FL mainly or partially supports data privacy and security issues and provides an alternative to model problems facilitating multiple edge devices or organizations to contribute a training of a global model using a number of local data without having them. Non-IID data of FL caused from its distributed nature presents a significant performance degradation and stabilization skews. This paper introduces a novel method dynamically balancing the data distributions of clients by augmenting images to address the non-IID data problem of FL. The introduced method remarkably stabilizes the model training and improves the model's test accuracy from 83.22% to 89.43% for multi-chest diseases detection of chest X-ray images in highly non-IID FL setting. The results of IID, non-IID and non-IID with proposed method federated trainings demonstrated that the proposed method might help to encourage organizations or researchers in developing better systems to get values from data with respect to data privacy not only for healthcare but also other fields.

description: The transition of a fluid to a rigid glass upon cooling is a common route of transformation from liquid to solid that embodies the most poorly understood features of both phases1,2,3. From the liquid perspective, the puzzle is to understand stress relaxation in the disordered state. From the perspective of solids, the challenge is to extend our description of structure and its mechanical consequences to materials without long range order. Using computer simulations, we show that the localized low frequency normal modes of a configuration in a supercooled liquid are causally correlated to the irreversible structural reorganization of the particles within that configuration. We also demonstrate that the spatial distribution of these soft local modes can persist in spite of significant particle reorganization. The consequence of these two results is that it is now feasible to construct a theory of relaxation length scales in glass-forming liquids without recourse to dynamics and to explicitly relate molecular properties to their collective relaxation.

description: Open source and commercial applications used to be two separate worlds. The former was the work of amateurs who had little interest in making a profit, while the latter was only profit oriented and was produced by big companies. Nowadays open source is a threat and an opportunity to serious businesses of all kinds, generating good profits while delivering low costs products to customers. The competition between commercial and open source software has impacted the industry and the society as a whole. But in the last years, the markets for commercial and open source software are converging rapidly and it is interesting to resume and discuss the implications of this new paradigm, taking into account arguments pro and against it.

description: The issue in respiratory sound classification has attained good attention from the clinical scientists and medical researcher's group in the last year to diagnosing COVID-19 disease. To date, various models of Artificial Intelligence (AI) entered into the real-world to detect the COVID-19 disease from human-generated sounds such as voice/speech, cough, and breath. The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model is implemented for solving a lot of real-world problems on machines based on Artificial Intelligence (AI). In this context, one dimension (1D) CNN is suggested and implemented to diagnose respiratory diseases of COVID-19 from human respiratory sounds such as a voice, cough, and breath. An augmentation-based mechanism is applied to improve the preprocessing performance of the COVID-19 sounds dataset and to automate COVID-19 disease diagnosis using the 1D convolutional network. Furthermore, a DDAE (Data De-noising Auto Encoder) technique is used to generate deep sound features such as the input function to the 1D CNN instead of adopting the standard input of MFCC (Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient), and it is performed better accuracy and performance than previous models.

description: Using first principle calculations we showed that the Curie temperature of manganites thin films can be increased by far more than an order of magnitude by applying appropriate strains. Our main breakthrough is that the control of the orbital ordering responsible for the spectacular $T_C$ increase cannot be imposed by the substrate only. Indeed, the strains, first applied by the substrate, need to be maintained over the growth direction by the alternation of the manganite layers with another appropriate material. Following these theoretical findings, we synthesized such super-lattices and verified our theoretical predictions.

Let A be the generic ring corresponding to (W, R) in the sense of Tits, defined over the polynomial ring D = Q[u[sub r], r ε R]. Let k be any field of characteristic zero. For the homomorphism φ : D —> k defined by φ(u[sub r]) = q[sub r], q[sub r] the index parameters of G, the specialzed algebra Aφ,[sub k] is isomorphic to the Hecke algebra H[sub k](G, B) of G with respect to a Borel subgroup B of G, while for the specialization defined by φ(u[sub r]) = 1, r ε R, Aφ,[sub k] is isomorphic to the group algebra kW. As G the Hecke algebra H[sub k](G, B) affords the induced representation 1[sup G sub B], the G irreducible representations of G appearing in 1[sup G sub B] can be obtained from the representations of H[sub k](G, B). In this thesis, we obtain all the irreducible representations, defined over the quotient field of D, of the generic ring corresponding to a Coxeter system of classical type. The method employed involves a generalization of Young's construction of the semi-normal matrix representations of the symmetric group. We also obtain an explicit formula for the generic degree of these representations in terms of the hook lengths of Young diagrams. Thus the degrees of all the irreducible constituents of 1[sup G sub B] are obtained for the families of Chevalley groups A[sub l](q), B[sub l](q), A[sup 1 sub 2l](q²), A[sup 1 sub 2l-1](q²), D[sup 1 sub l](q²) and for D[sub l](q), l odd. Also, most of the degrees are obtained for D[sub l](q), l even.

description: “Scientific” psychology, after great apparent successes, didn’t seems able to account for qualifying features of the human mind and action like those implied in the concept of identity. On the ground of contributions kept out of psychology’s mainstream, like Mead’s symbolic interactionism and Vigotsky’s action theory, some psychological theories were developed in which, on the contrary, identity stays as the essential feature of human beings embedded in historical contexts, but playing an active role inside them. Thus identity becomes a sort of litmus paper for any psychological theory, and not only opens new research directions, but also suggests ways for coming back critically onto psychology’s method and object and for reopening the fruitful exchanges of its beginnings with the other human sciences.

description: We calculate the diffusion coefficient of an active tracer in a schematic crowded environment, represented as a lattice gas of passive particles with hardcore interactions. Starting from the master equation of the problem, we put forward a closure approximation that goes beyond trivial mean-field and provides the diffusion coefficient for an arbitrary density of crowders in the system. We show that our approximation is accurate for a very wide range of parameters, and that it correctly captures numerous nonequilibrium effects, which are the signature of the activity in the system. In addition to the determination of the diffusion coefficient of the tracer, our approach allows us to characterize the perturbation of the environment induced by the displacement of the active tracer. Finally, we consider the asymptotic regimes of low and high densities, in which the expression of the diffusion coefficient of the tracer becomes explicit, and which we argue to be exact.

description: The complete mitochondrial genome of Leptychaster arcticus, deep-sea inhabited asteroid, was examined in this study. The complete mitogenome of L. arcticus is 16,253 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes. No gene rearrangements or deletions were observed in compared to other Paxillosida. The ND4L and ND3 genes have ‘ATT’ as its start codon, which is a feature that has been found in previous echinoderm mitochondrial studies. In the ML tree analysis based on the superorder Valvatacea, it was difficult to establish the molecular phylogenetic relationship at lower taxonomic levels, such as order and family, due to the lack of asteroid molecular data available. Therefore, we expect to contribute to the expansion of the data and determine the phylogenetic positioning in future studies.
Approximation techniques for the Stefan problem
Creators: name: Katz, Hart Victor
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The macroscopic description of matter undergoing a phase change (the Stefan Problem) can be formulated as a set of coupled, non-linear partial differential equations. For the case of one space dimension, the thesis develops three approximation methods to solve these equations. (a) Asymptotic Expansions With the Green's functions to suit the given boundary conditions, the system can be transformed into a set of integral equations. For the case where the initial phase grows without limit as т → ∞ ,the large т expansions for the integrals are calculated and the large т behaviour of the interphase boundary found.(b) Perturbation Expansions When the latent heat of fusion of a material is large relative to the heat content of that material, a uniformly valid perturbation expansion in a parameter related to the ratio of these heats is possible. The first few terms of the expansions for the temperature distribution and the position of the interphase boundary are calculated and found to be in good agreement with the few known exact solutions and numerically calculated solutions. (c) Numerical Techniques Rather than use a traditional finite difference scheme, only time is discretized and an analytic expression for an approximate temperature is found for each time step. This method gives good results for the temperatures over the time intervals required by the physics of the problem. Finally, the method is applied to describe the freezing of a shallow lake.

description: Ptychostomum pseudotriquetrum (Hedw.) J.R.Spence & H.P.Ramsay (Bryaceae) is a bipolar and one of the most widespread species within Antarctica, exhibiting a ubiquitous presence along the Antarctic Peninsula. This study analyzed its chloroplast genome, which is 123,172 bp in length, and consists of 82 protein-coding genes, four ribosomal RNA genes, and 31 transfer RNA genes. A phylogenetic tree, constructed using 58 conserved orthologous protein-coding genes from 19 complete chloroplast genomes of the class Bryopsida, confirmed that P. pseudotriquetrum belongs to clade Bryaceae. Within this clade, P. pseudotriquetrum diverged from the clade containing Anomobryum gemmigerum and Bryum argenteum. This study contributes to enriching chloroplast genome resources for the family Bryaceae and the genus Ptychostomum. Such advancement could facilitate future genetic investigations aimed at conserving and exploiting Antarctic bryophytes.

description: We present the identification and analysis of an unbiased sample of AGN that lie within the local galaxy population. Using the MPA-JHU catalogue (based on SDSS DR8) and 3XMM DR7 we define a parent sample of 25,949 local galaxies ($z \leq 0.33$). After confirming that there was strictly no AGN light contaminating stellar mass and star-formation rate calculations, we identified 917 galaxies with central, excess X-ray emission likely originating from an AGN. We analysed their optical emission lines using the BPT diagnostic and confirmed that such techniques are more effective at reliably identifying sources as AGN in higher mass galaxies: rising from 30% agreement in the lowest mass bin to 93% in the highest. We then calculated the growth rates of the black holes powering these AGN in terms of their specific accretion rates ($\propto L_X/M_*$). Our sample exhibits a wide range of accretion rates, with the majority accreting at rates $\leq 0.5\%$ of their Eddington luminosity. Finally, we used our sample to calculate the incidence of AGN as a function of stellar mass and redshift. After correcting for the varying sensitivity of 3XMM, we split the galaxy sample by stellar mass and redshift and investigated the AGN fraction as a function of X-ray luminosity and specific black hole accretion rate. From this we found the fraction of galaxies hosting AGN above a fixed specific accretion rate limit of $10^{-3.5}$ is constant (at $\approx 1\%$) over stellar masses of $8 < \log \mathrm{M_*/M_\odot} < 12$ and increases (from $\approx 1\%$ to $10\%$) with redshift.

description: The state of the art of epidemic modelling in terrestrial ecosystems is the compartmental SIR model and its extensions from the now classical work of Kermack-Mackendrick. In contrast, epidemic modelling of marine ecosystems is a bit behind, and compartmental models have been introduced only recently. One of the reasons is that many epidemic processes in terrestrial ecosystems can be described through a contact process, while modelling marine epidemics is more subtle in many cases. Here we present a model describing disease outbreaks caused by parasites in bivalve populations. The SIRP model is a multicompartmental model with four compartments, three of which describe the different states of the host, susceptible (i.e. healthy), S, infected, I, and removed (dead), R, and one compartment for the parasite in the marine medium, P, written as a 4-dimensional dynamical system. Even if this is the simplest model one can write to describe this system, it is still too complicated for both direct analytical manipulation and direct comparison with experimental observations, as it depends on four parameters to be fitted. We show that it is possible to simplify the model, including a reduction to the standard SIR model if the parameters fulfil certain conditions. The model is validated with available data for the recent Mass Mortality Event of the noble pen shell Pinna nobilis, a disease caused by the parasite Haplosporidium pinnae, showing that the reduced SIR model is able to fit the data. So, we show that a model in which the species that suffers the epidemics (host) cannot move, and contagion occurs through parasites, can be reduced to the standard SIR model that represents epidemic transmission between mobile hosts. The fit indicates that the assumptions made to simplify the model are reasonable in practice, although it leads to an indeterminacy in three of the original parameters.
