Towards a natural language processing pipeline and search engine for biomedical associations derived from scientific literature
Creators: name: Galea, Dieter
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Biomedical research is published at a rapid rate, with PubMed containing over 29 million publications. A natural language processing pipeline (NLP) facilitating information extraction is required. Existing pipelines achieve promising performance, but are often restricted to a small number of bioentities (such as genes and diseases), ignore negative associations, and treat new claims and background sentences equally. Here, different NLP tasks required to develop a scalable and generalizable open source pipeline for biomedical association extraction that tackles these limitations are investigated. In turn, this is used to build a repository of queryable associations. Starting by optimizing how biomedical language is represented in machine learning (ML) models, state-of-the-art representations are obtained and subsequently used in downstream tasks, including bioentity recognition. Latter work indicates that current recognition models are poorly generalizable, resulting in unrealistic performance when applied at scale. Additionally, it is shown here that acquiring more data does not improve ML-based entity recognition performance. Beyond ML methods, this work presents a number of dictionarybased approaches and graph-based dictionaries for more than 13 sources covering metabolites, genes/proteins, species, chemicals, toxins, drugs, diseases, foods, food compounds and anatomy are compiled. These are used to annotate PubMed for subsequent association extraction. To achieve a diverse association extraction pipeline for 10 entity types, we attempt to find a balance between generalizable rules and ML models. A neural model is trained to identify novel association claims with 94% accuracy and a rule-based approach to identify negated statements with up to 91% accuracy. A set of rules are devised to define associations. Quantitative evaluation shows promising results, however further work is required. Extracted associations are stored in a graph database, enabling querying for associations reported in literature, as well as discovering new potential indirect linkages. To demonstrate its future use, a frontend proof of concept is presented.
Coordinated Day-ahead Dispatch of Multiple Power Distribution Grids hosting Stochastic Resources: An ADMM-based Framework

description: This work presents an optimization framework to aggregate the power and energy flexibilities in an interconnected power distribution systems. The aggregation framework is used to compute the day-ahead dispatch plans of multiple and interconnected distribution grids operating at different voltage levels. Specifically, the proposed framework optimizes the dispatch plan of an upstream medium voltage (MV) grid accounting for the flexibility offered by downstream low voltage (LV) grids and the knowledge of the uncertainties of the stochastic resources. The framework considers grid, i.e., operational limits on the nodal voltages, lines, and transformer capacity using a linearized grid model, and controllable resources' constraints. The dispatching problem is formulated as a stochastic-optimization scheme considering uncertainty on stochastic power generation and demands and the voltage imposed by the upstream grid. The problem is solved by a distributed optimization method relying on the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) that splits the main problem into an aggregator problem (solved at the MV-grid level) and several local problems (solved at the MV-connected-controllable-resources and LV-grid levels). The use of distributed optimization enables a decentralized dispatch computation where the centralized aggregator is agnostic about the parameters/models of the participating resources and downstream grids. The framework is validated for interconnected CIGRE medium- and low-voltage networks hosting heterogeneous stochastic and controllable resources.

Nonverbal Vocalisations – A Forensic Phonetic Perspective
Creators: name: Braun, Angelika
Publisher: name: Laughter and Other Non-Verbal Vocalisations Workshop: Proceedings (2020)
Year: 2020

description: This contribution approaches nonverbal vocalisations from an angle which is probably quite different from most other perspectives – its usability for forensic speaker comparison purposes. Thus the question is whether and if so, to what extent, nonverbal vocalisations are speaker specific. In this paper, it is argued that it is not so much any one individual trait which is speaker specific but rather a behavioral pattern consisting of various elements. How these vocalisations are covered in forensic phonetic reports is described. Various aspects of the behavioral pattern are dealt with: hesitations/filled pauses, breathing, clicks, question tags, tempo, and laughter.

description: Entanglement of light and multiple vibrations is a key resource for multi-channel quantum information processing and memory. However, entanglement generation is generally suppressed, or even fully destroyed, by the dark-mode (DM) effect induced by the coupling of multiple degenerate or near-degenerate vibrational modes to a common optical mode. Here we propose how to generate optomechanical entanglement via \emph{DM breaking} induced by synthetic magnetism. We find that at nonzero temperature, light and vibrations are \emph{separable} in the DM-unbreaking regime but \emph{entangled} in the DM-breaking regime. Remarkably, the threshold thermal phonon number for preserving entanglement in our simulations has been observed to be up to \emph{three} orders of magnitude stronger than that in the DM-unbreaking regime. The application of the DM-breaking mechanism to optomechanical networks can make noise-tolerant entanglement networks feasible. These results are quite general and can initiate advances in quantum resources with immunity against both dark modes and thermal noise.

description: This paper presents work in progress on two markers of hesitation in Roman Italian task-oriented dialogue, namely filled pauses and prolongations. We investigate their form, relative frequency, and distributional characteristics in Italian. Initial results suggest that Italian speakers produce prolongations more frequently than filled pauses, and that the prototypical hesitant prolongation involves a word-final vowel.

zrážkovo-odtokové modelovanie

description: Frekvenčná analýza prietokov patrí v súčasnosti k najaktívnejším oblastiam výskumu,

ktorými sa zaoberá inžinierska hydrológia. Veľký rozvoj zaznamenali metódy využívajúce stochastické modely zrážok a zrážkovo-odtokové modely umožňujúce rozšíriť pozorovaný rad prietokov o syntetické prietokové rady alebo udalosti. Cieľom dizertačnej práce bolo vytvorenie práve takejto metodiky pre odhad N-ročných prietokov, využívajúcej generátor počasia pre generovanie syntetických vstupných radov a zrážkovo-odtokový model pre ich transformáciu na syntetický rad prietokov. Generátor počasia bol použitý pri generovaní kontinuálnych syntetických radov priemerných zrážok na povodie a teplôt vzduchu. Úspešne bol aplikovaný aj v podmienkach, pre ktoré nebol navrhnutý. Pre transformáciu týchto údajov na prietoky bol vytvorený nový dvojrežimový koncepčný zrážkovo-odtokový model s unikátnym konceptom separátnej simulácie malých a veľkých prietokov. V porovnaní s tradičným jednorežimovým modelom je dvojrežimový schopný lepšie simulovať ako medziročný režim odtoku, tak aj rad maximálnych ročných prietokov. Výsledky navrhnutej metodiky boli porovnané s výsledkami z francúzskej metódy

SCHADEX, ktorá slúži ako referenčná metóda pre odhad N-ročných prietokov vo Francúzsku. Výsledky práce možno použiť pri odhade N-ročných prietokov aj na miestach s malým množstvom pozorovaných prietokov, prípadne na miestach bez pozorovaní. Navrhnutá metodika je vhodná aj pre použitie vo viacrozmernej frekvenčnej analýze.

Year: 2020

description: This paper proposes to consider a semasiological approach to non-verbal vocalisations. We claim that an acoustic analysis of the components of these sounds is needed to complement the findings of earlier studies. We propose that part of the information conveyed by these sounds comes from their acoustic components and that these components might be subjected to what resembles grammatical rules. Semantic issues are discussed at the end of the paper.

description: In mathematical modeling, several different functional forms can often be used to fit a data set equally well, especially if the data is sparse. In such cases, these mathematically different but similar looking functional forms are typically considered interchangeable. Recent work, however, shows that similar functional responses may nonetheless result in significantly different bifurcation points for the Rosenzweig-MacArthur predator-prey system. Since the bifurcation behaviours include destabilising oscillations, predicting the occurrence of such behaviours is clearly important. Ecologically, different bifurcation behaviours mean that different predictions may be obtained from the models. These predictions can range from stable coexistence to the extinction of both species, so obtaining more accurate predictions is also clearly important for conservationists. Mathematically, this difference in bifurcation structure given similar functional responses is called structural sensitivity. We extend the existing work to find that the Leslie-Gower-May predator-prey system is also structurally sensitive to the functional response. Using the Rosenzweig-MacArthur and Leslie-Gower-May models, we then aim to determine if there is some way to obtain a functional description of data such that our model is not structurally sensitive. We first add stochasticity to the functional responses and find that better similarity of the resulting bifurcation structures is achieved. Then, we analyze the functional responses using two different methods to determine which part of each function contributes most to the observed bifurcation behaviour. We find that prey densities around the coexistence steady state are most important in defining the functional response. Lastly, we propose a procedure for ecologists and mathematical modelers to increase the accuracy of model predictions in predator-prey systems.

description: The vowel quality of filler particles (FP) is studied for 24 speakers of German who produced 666 instances of vocalic (¨ah) and vocalic-nasal forms (¨ahm) in spontaneous dialogues. The FP vowel quality is compared to reference vowels of a word list as well as to phonologically and graphematically similarly constructed lexical syllables. Filler particles show a complete overlap with the reference vowels [÷] and [5], but overlap only partially with [E] and [@].

description: We study QCD corrections for the associated production of a single top quark and a photon ($tqγ$ production) at hadron colliders. We calculate the NLO cross section at LHC and future collider energies for a variety of kinematical cuts, and we estimate uncertainties from scale dependence and from parton distributions. We also calculate differential distributions in top-quark transverse-momentum and rapidity as well as photon energy. Finally, we study higher-order corrections from soft-gluon emission for this process, and we provide approximate NNLO (aNNLO) results for the cross section and top-quark differential distributions. We also compare our calculations with recent measurements from CMS and ATLAS at the LHC and find that the aNNLO corrections improve the comparison between the data and the Standard Model predictions.

Application of the pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium scale to enhance recognition in the PACU
Creators: name: Dillman, Jedd

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Purpose of Project: The Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale is a validated assessment tool with high sensitivity and specificity. Unfortunately, the PAED scale is under-utilized and current literature shows that pediatric emergence delirium assessment is not consistently performed by anesthesia providers and PACU nurses. Using principles of the Ottawa model of research, the aim of this quality improvement project was to improve pediatric emergence delirium assessment among interprofessional healthcare providers. Methodology: The authors objectives for this quality improvement project were to determine provider knowledge gaps, improve pediatric emergence delirium assessment, and enhance pediatric ED recognition. The project design incorporated a quantitative and qualitative, multiple cohort presentation for Rutgers University nurse anesthesia residents, PACU registered nurses, and anesthesia providers at a large tertiary academic hospital in northern New Jersey. Results: All survey responses for second year RRNA and third year Rutgers Resident Nurse Anesthetists showed statistical improvements for understanding signs and symptoms (m=2.82, m=4.43, p<0.01), use of the PAED scale (m=2.23, m=4.42, p<0.01), and confidence with assessment skills (m=1.21, m=4.08, p<0.01).There were similarities in the scores, but no statistical significance among MDAs, CRNAs, and PACU nurses understanding of the major defining behaviors of emergence delirium. Implications for Practice: The optimal effectiveness and longevity of the PAED scale in clinical practice has the potential to manufacture many beneficial outcomes. Adopting a standardized assessment tool improves overall pediatric anesthesia recovery. Pediatric ED will continue to be clinically significant as anesthetic techniques evolve and the demand for specialized pediatric surgeries grows. This project serves as a platform to improve the overall care for pediatric surgical patients through evidence-based interventions. Above all else, this quality improvement project was effective in increasing participants overall knowledge of pediatric emergence delirium.

description: We derive exact general solutions (as opposed to attractor particular solutions) and corresponding first integrals for the evolution of a scalar field $ϕ$ in a universe dominated by a background fluid with equation of state parameter $w_B$. In addition to the previously-examined linear [$V(ϕ) = V_0 ϕ$] and quadratic [$V(ϕ) = V_0 ϕ^2$] potentials, we show that exact solutions exist for the power law potential $V(ϕ) = V_0 ϕ^n$ with $n = 4(1+w_B)/(1-w_B) + 2$ and $n = 2(1+w_B)/(1-w_B)$. These correspond to the potentials $V(ϕ) = V_0 ϕ^6$ and $V(ϕ) = V_0 ϕ^2$ for matter domination and $V(ϕ) = V_0 ϕ^{10}$ and $V(ϕ) = V_0 ϕ^4$ for radiation domination. The $ϕ^6$ and $ϕ^{10}$ potentials can yield either oscillatory or non-oscillatory evolution, and we use the first integrals to determine how the initial conditions map onto each form of evolution. The exponential potential yields an exact solution for a stiff/kination ($w_B = 1$) background. We use this exact solution to derive an analytic expression for the evolution of the equation of state parameter, $w_ϕ$, for this case.

description: In this paper we show that for any fusion $\mathcal{B}$ of an association scheme $\mathcal{A}$, the generalized Hamming scheme $H(n,\mathcal{B})$ is a nontrivial fusion of $H(n,\mathcal{A})$. We analyze the case where $\mathcal{A}$ is the association scheme on a strongly-regular graph, and determine the parameters of all strongly-regular graphs for which the generalized Hamming scheme, $H(2,\mathcal{A})$, has extra fusions, in addition to the one arising from the trivial fusion of $\mathcal{A}$.

description: An automated and reliable processing of bubbly flow images is highly needed to analyse large data sets of comprehensive experimental series. A particular difficulty arises due to overlapping bubble projections in recorded images, which highly complicates the identification of individual bubbles. Recent approaches focus on the use of deep learning algorithms for this task and have already proven the high potential of such techniques. The main difficulties are the capability to handle different image conditions, higher gas volume fractions and a proper reconstruction of the hidden segment of a partly occluded bubble. In the present work, we try to tackle these points by testing three different methods based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for the two former and two individual approaches that can be used subsequently to address the latter. To validate our methodology, we created test data sets with synthetic images that further demonstrate the capabilities as well as limitations of our combined approach. The generated data, code and trained models are made accessible to facilitate the use as well as further developments in the research field of bubble recognition in experimental images.

description: Cathode materials undergo various phase transitions during the charge/discharge process, and the structural transitions significantly affect the battery performance. Although phonon properties can provide a direct clue for structural stability and transitions, it has been less explored in sodium cathode materials. Here, using the first-principles calculations, we investigate phonon and electronic properties of various layered NaMnO$_2$ materials, especially focusing on the dependency of the Jahn-Teller distortion of Mn$^{3+}$. The phonon dispersion curves show that the O$'$3 and P$'$2 structures with the Jahn-Teller distortion are dynamically stable in contrast to undistorted O3 and P2 structures. The structural instability of O3 and P2 structures is directly observed from the imaginary phonon frequencies, as so-called phonon soft modes, whose corresponding displacements are from O atoms distorting along the local Mn-O bond direction in the MnO$_6$ octahedra. This is consistent with the experimental stability and a structural transition with the Jahn-Teller distortion at the high Na concentration. Furthermore, the orbital-decomposed density of states presents the orbital redistribution by the Jahn-Teller distortion such as $e_g$-band splitting, and the stability of O$'$3 and P$'$2 is not sensitive to the electron-electron correlation. Our results demonstrate the importance of phonon analysis to further understand the structural stability and phase transitions in cathode materials.

description: Sharpening the holographic correspondence of Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity and its dual matrix model description at a finite radial cutoff $λ$ through the $T\overline{T}$ deformation is of interest. To proceed, we simplify the problem by considering the Airy model and deform Airy correlators in the same way as in $T\overline{T}$-deformed JT gravity. We use those correlators to compute the annealed and quenched free energies for both $λ> 0$ and $λ< 0$ from an integral representation of the replica trick. At the leading order in $λ$ and low temperatures, we confirm that the genus-zero quenched free energy monotonically decreases as a function of temperature when perturbation theory is valid. We then study the all-genus quenched free energy at low temperatures, where we discover and discuss subtleties due to non-perturbative effects in the Airy model, as well as the contributions from the non-perturbative branch under the $T\overline{T}$ deformation.

$N$-body interactions between trapped ion qubits via spin-dependent squeezing

description: We describe a simple protocol for the single-step generation of $N$-body entangling interactions between trapped atomic ion qubits. We show that qubit state-dependent squeezing operations and displacement forces on the collective atomic motion can generate full $N$-body interactions. Similar to the Mølmer-Sørensen two-body Ising interaction at the core of most trapped ion quantum computers and simulators, the proposed operation is relatively insensitive to the state of motion. We show how this $N$-body gate operation allows the single-step implementation of a family of $N$-bit gate operations such as the powerful $N$-Toffoli gate, which flips a single qubit if and only if all other $N$-$1$ qubits are in a particular state.

title: Experimental Validation of the Energy Verification System for Radio Frequency Knockout Extractions at MedAustron

description: One of the most important prerequisites for the medical operation of a particle accelerator is the precise control of the particle energy, since due to the direct proportionality to the penetration depth, even a slight deviation can lead to damage to a patient’s healthy tissue. At MedAustron, this control is performed by the ’Energy Verification System (EVS)’. In the event of an energy deviation that leads to a change in the penetration depth of more than 0.3 mm, this system immediately deflects the particle beam into the beam dump.With the introduction of a new extraction method, the Radio Frequency Knockout (RFKO), a modification of the EVS is necessary. The approach for the new system is a verification via the magnetic field of the dipole magnets and the revolution frequency of the particles, which will be the content of this thesis. For this purpose, measurements of the frequency at the accelerating radio frequency cavity (RFC), the magnetic field at the dipole magnets and range measurements based on the bragg peak position using the PTW Peakfinder system in the irradiation room will be performed simultaneously in RFKO operation. A deviation of the particle energy from the nominal value, measured by the Peakfinder, should be visible in both the RFC and the magnetic field measurements. An analysis of these data should show that the chosen approach is suitable for the new EVS.
Vortex formation and quantum turbulence with rotating paddle potentials in a two-dimensional binary Bose-Einstein condensate

description: We conduct a theoretical study of the creation and dynamics of vortices in a two-dimensional binary Bose-Einstein condensate with a mass imbalance between the species. To initiate the dynamics, we use one or two rotating paddle potentials in one species, while the other species is influenced only via the interspecies interaction. In both species, the number and the dominant sign of the vortices are determined by the rotation frequency of the paddle potential. Clusters of positive and negative vortices form at a low rotation frequency comparable to that of the trap when using the single paddle potential. In contrast, vortices of the same sign tend to dominate as the rotation frequency of the paddle increases, and the angular momentum reaches a maximum value at a paddle frequency, where the paddle velocity becomes equal to the sound velocity of the condensate. When the rotation frequency is sufficiently high, the rapid annihilation of vortex-antivortex pairs significantly reduces the number of vortices and antivortices in the system. For two paddle potentials rotating in the same direction, the vortex dynamics phenomenon is similar to that of a single paddle. However, when the paddle potentials are rotated in the opposite direction, both positive and negative signed vortices occur at all rotational frequencies. At the low rotation frequencies, the cluster of like-signed vortices produces the $k^{-5/3}$ and $k^{-3}$ power laws in the incompressible kinetic energy spectrum at low and high wavenumbers, respectively, a hallmark of the quantum turbulent flows.
