Assessing Settlement Dynamics in Medieval Central and Western Europe
Creators: name: Schreg, Rainer
Publisher: name: Eudora Verlag Leipzig
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Medieval

description: Medieval rural settlements have seen a variety of transformations from dispersed to nucleated settlements, from shifting settlements to permanent villages. There are regional developments as well as general trends. In many landscapes in Central and Western Europe these processes resulted in the formation of the late medieval village nucleated around the church and connected with an open field system during the 10th–13th centuries.
Archaeologists, geographers and historians provided various explanations for these settlement changes. Some argued towards a correlation of settlement dynamics with changing patterns of local power. However, most studies only took single landscapes or even single sites into consideration, whereas a comparative approach is missing.
By mapping the chronological frames of rural settlements, it is possible to assess regional settlement dynamics and to correlate them with historical processes and geographical spaces. This paper is based on some preliminary work triggered by previous studies of the author on the history of medieval villages mainly in South-West Germany. It outlines possibilities and problems as well as first results of a GIS-based approach aiming for a comparison of settlement dynamics mainly in Western Europe.
Buddhism and the State: Rājadhamma after the Sattelzeit

description: Rājadhamma is a list of ten royal virtues or duties that occurs in the jātaka tales and that has been influential in Southeast Asian Buddhist political thought. Like pre-modern political thought in Europe—that is, thought before the Sattelzeit—Buddhist political thought lacks a concept of the “state” and is concerned with kings and similar rulers. Here I propose a modernized interpretation of rājadhamma as virtues/duties of the state.
Perceptions of Administrative Support: The View from the Classroom and the Office

description: The purpose of the study was to examine the perception of administrative support
from the perspective of teachers and principals. Many teachers who have left the teaching
profession stated “lack of administrative support” as their primary reason for leaving. In
order to keep those teachers who demonstrated a desire for teaching and encourage them
to grow into master teachers, administrators should understand the kinds of
administrative support they need. The results of this study demonstrate that teachers need
emotional support from their principals followed by social, informational, and physical
support in that order. This emotional support could be demonstrated through making a
personal connection with teachers, taking the time to show kindness and encouragement
so that they will have the strength and determination to endure the novice years and
become the veteran teachers our students so desperately need.

description: The following tables represent effort, retained catch (kept) and discard as reported on longline log sheets for the Hawaii limited-access longline fishery. To satisfy confidentiality RFMO reporting standards, data from the California-based longline fishery is also included in this report. Effort and catch statistics are summarized from logbook data submitted to the PIFSC, FRMD and are based on date of longline haul. The statistics originate from an Oracle table LLDS_REPORT_STATS_HICA database extraction done on 3 May 2016. When a statistic (number of vessels, trips) can involve dates of haul in 2 summary periods (i.e. years, semiannual, quarters) the item is counted in both summary periods. Thus, a trip total is for “partial and completed” trips. As such, these are not additive statistics (i.e. sum of 4 quarters is not the total for the year, etc).

description: Culture and language evolve together. The old literary form of Tamil is used commonly for writing and the contemporary colloquial Tamil is used for speaking. Human-computer interaction applications require Colloquial Tamil (CT) to make it more accessible and easy for the everyday user and, it requires Literary Tamil (LT) when information is needed in a formal written format. Continuing the use of LT alongside CT in computer aided language learning applications will both preserve LT, and provide ease of use via CT, at the same time. Hence there is a need for the conversion between LT and CT dialects, which demands as a first step, dialect identification. Dialect Identification (DID) of LT and CT is an unexplored area of research. In the current work, keeping the nuances of both these dialects in mind, five methods are explored which include two implicit methods - Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN); two explicit methods - Parallel Phone Recognition (PPR) and Parallel Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (P-LVCSR); two versions of the proposed explicit Unified Phone Recognition method (UPR-1 and UPR-2). These methods vary based on: the need for annotated data, the size of the unit, the way in which modelling is carried out, and the way in which the final decision is made. Even though the average duration of the test utterances is less - 4.9s for LT and 2.5s for CT - the systems performed well, offering the following identification accuracies: 87.72% (GMM), 93.97% (CNN), 89.24% (PPR), 94.21% (P-LVCSR), 88.57% (UPR-1), 93.53% (UPR-1 with P-LVCSR), 94.55% (UPR-2), and 95.61% (UPR-2 with P-LVCSR).

description: Whisper, as a form of speech, is not sufficiently addressed by mainstream speech applications. This is due to the fact that systems built for normal speech do not work as expected for whispered speech. A first step to building a speech application that is inclusive of whispered speech, is the successful classification of whispered speech and normal speech. Such a front-end classification system is expected to have high accuracy and low computational overhead, which is the scope of this paper. One of the characteristics of whispered speech is the absence of the fundamental frequency (or pitch), and hence the pitch harmonics as well. The presence of the pitch and pitch harmonics in normal speech, and its absence in whispered speech, is evident in the spectral envelope of the Fourier transform. We observe that this characteristic is predominant in the first quarter of the spectrum, and exploit the same as a feature. We propose the use of one dimensional convolutional neural networks (1D-CNN) to capture these features from the quartered spectral envelope (QSE). The system yields an accuracy of 99.31% when trained and tested on the wTIMIT dataset, and 100% on the CHAINS dataset. The proposed feature is compared with Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC), a staple in the speech domain. The proposed classification system is also compared with the state-of-the-art system based on log-filterbank energy (LFBE) features trained on long short-term memory (LSTM) network. The proposed system based on 1D-CNN performs better than, or as good as, the state-of-the-art across multiple experiments. It also converges sooner, with lesser computational overhead. Finally, the proposed system is evaluated under the presence of white noise at various signal-to-noise ratios and found to be robust.

description: The study presented in this paper explores the fascinating world of ancient coins and the various methods employed to preserve them over time. Within the historical context of Tamil Nadu, particularly during the period of Monarchal rule, kings from notable dynasties such as the Cheras, Cholas, and Pandyas issued a diverse array of coins. These coins were crafted from a range of materials, including precious metals like gold, as well as copper and other alloys.  The historical significance of these coins cannot be overstated, as they serve as crucial artifacts that provide insights into the economic, cultural, and social practices of the time. However, these ancient coins are not commonly found, often emerging only in small quantities during archaeological excavations.  Archaeologists and historians have devoted considerable effort to unearthing these rare treasures and studying their design, inscriptions, and metallurgy. Once discovered, the preservation of these artifacts becomes paramount. Various methods have been developed to ensure the longevity of these coins, including controlled environmental storage, chemical stabilization, and protective display techniques.  Thus, this study not only traces the rich tradition of numismatics— the scholarly study of coins and currency—but also delves into the critical preservation measures that safeguard these invaluable historical objects for future generations. It aims to contribute to our understanding of coinage in the Tamil monarchies and highlight the importance of preserving such heritage for continued research and cultural appreciation. Through this examination, the paper underscores the interplay between history, art, and science in the field of numismatics and conservation.

description: This paper addresses the challenges of designing mesh convolution neural networks for 3D mesh dense prediction. While deep learning has achieved remarkable success in image dense prediction tasks, directly applying or extending these methods to irregular graph data, such as 3D surface meshes, is nontrivial due to the non-uniform element distribution and irregular connectivity in surface meshes which make it difficult to adapt downsampling, upsampling, and convolution operations. In addition, commonly used multiresolution networks require repeated high-to-low and then low-to-high processes to boost the performance of recovering rich, high-resolution representations. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a self-parameterization-based multi-resolution convolution network that extends existing image dense prediction architectures to 3D meshes. The novelty of our approach lies in two key aspects. First, we construct a multi-resolution mesh pyramid directly from the high-resolution input data and propose area-aware mesh downsampling/upsampling operations that use sequential bijective inter-surface mappings between different mesh resolutions. The inter-surface mapping redefines the mesh, rather than reshaping it, which thus avoids introducing unnecessary errors. Second, we maintain the high-resolution representation in the multi-resolution convolution network, enabling multi-scale fusions to exchange information across parallel multi-resolution subnetworks, rather than through connections of high-to-low resolution subnetworks in series. These features differentiate our approach from most existing mesh convolution networks and enable more accurate mesh dense predictions, which is confirmed in experiments.

3D Eukaryotic Map: Intron Density vs Exon Junction Complex in Eukaryotes

description: Background:
The exon junction complex (EJC) has a central role in marking splice sites in eukaryotic mRNA transcripts. Previous comparative genomics studies of the four core components of the EJC complex, Magoh, Y14, eIF4AIII and MNL51, have been performed mainly within the Opisthokonta and Archaeplastida eukaryotic super-groups. Many eukaryotic pathogens, such as African trypanosomes and Plasmodium (the causative agents of Human Trypanososomiasis and malaria respectively), fall outside the super-groups containing animals, fungi and plants; trypanosomes are in the Excavata super-group and Plasmodium falls in the SAR group. Both are single celled parasites whose unique ability to survive in their hosts can be attributed to their versatile gene expression strategies. Identifying unique differences in mRNA metabolism pathways between both trypanosomatid and apicomplexan parasites and their free-living relatives would provide insight into the evolution of parasites in eukaryotes.

Description:
I have performed a comparative genomic analyses and phylogenetic studies of the core components of the exon junction complex (EJC) with homologues from organisms of the eukaryotic super-groups: Archaeplastida, Opisthokonta, Amoebozoa, SAR, Excavata and CCTH. Several trypanosomes and related free-living organisms in the Excavata eukaryotic super-group as well as parasitic apicomplexans and their free-living relatives from the SAR super-group were included. I have demonstrated that a core protein of the exon junction complex, eIF4AIII, is conserved in all eukaryotes and was present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA). Magoh and Y14 were present in the LECA, but were selectively lost in intron-poor species. Y14 has undergone a founder effect within the trypanosome lineage.

Conclusions:
I have designed an interactive model/eukaryotic map illustrating
	The distribution of the EJC amongst the six eukaryotic super-groups.
	The correlation of the core components of the EJC to intron density amongst both parasites and non-parasites.
The interactive feature of the model can be used to illustrate the variation of intron densities in comparison to the presence of the different EJC core units amongst different eukaryotic species as well as an instantaneous display of the position of any newly sequenced genome of both parasitic and non-parasitic eukaryotes on the intron density scale.

Do anuran amphibians avoid traffic noise? An experimental field study
Creators: name: Grace, Molly

Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2016

description: Roads create many challenges for conservation, and amphibians are particularly vulnerable to their negative effects. This experiment evaluates the impact that traffic noise has on amphibian populations, specifically anurans (frogs and toads). It is thought that traffic noise may act to reduce population abundances. However, it is difficult to disentangle the impact of noise from other road effects, such as roadkill and chemical pollution. To test this, we created a "phantom road" by playing different traffic noise treatments in four roadless areas and measured resulting anuran abundance, testing whether anurans avoid traffic noise. Preliminary data showed no effect of traffic noise, but strong effects of date and site. We believe this may reflect a limited ability to maximize sampling effort during periods of greatest frog calling activity (rain events), and we have accordingly implemented methods that will greatly increase data collection, including deployment of acoustic recording devices. In addition to our preliminary results, we plan to also present the results of 5 months of acoustic monitoring (March-July 2016), with robust conclusions about whether traffic noise truly reduces anuran abundance.
Effects of spruce decline and meteorology on radial growth within and beyond the native range of Picea pungens and P. glauca

description: Spruce decline is a recently-discovered disease affecting native and nonnative spruce in Michigan. Our objective was to assess the impact of spruce decline on radial growth and to correlate radial growth with precipitation and temperature for two species in Michigan: Picea pungens (Engelm.), native to the Western United States, and P. glauca (Moench) Voss, native to northern North America. For each species we studied healthy trees, and trees exhibiting spruce decline at two sites, one in northern Michigan within the range of P. glauca and one in southern Michigan, outside of its range. Both sites are beyond the native range of P. pungens.

We found several significant differences in correlations with meteorology between disease classes and between sites, allowing us to generate hypotheses about the life cycle of the fungal pathogen associated with spruce decline. For example, in northern Michigan, we found significant negative correlations with winter precipitation in diseased trees of both species, but no significant correlations with winter precipitation in healthy trees of either species, suggesting that the pathogen may benefit from snow insulation-induced growth in northern Michigan. Our results suggest that trees respond differently to meteorology depending on disease status and their location relative to the native range.

description: This paper discusses performance and scalability opportunities of the three major modern front-end frameworks, namely React, Angular, and Vue.js. In this respect, the research tries to point out the strengths and limitations of the compared frameworks in handling large-scale and complex web applications by evaluating each against different load conditions or scalability scenarios. It does this by running a set of benchmark applications that test performance indicators such as load times, speed of rendering, memory usage, and CPU usage. Additionally, it investigates scalability through load testing-emulation of increased user interactions and complexity testing, observing how each of these frameworks handles increasing application complexity. Overall, the results obtained were good, especially those for React, where the use of its virtual DOM was exploited, though some optimization may be necessary when handling more complex state changes. Angular has great performance, though it can show increased load times and higher memory usage due to the richness of features. Vue.js has competitive performance, with lower memory usage and faster render times, balancing simplicity with scalability quite well. The study concludes by giving insight on how to select the correct framework based on an application's particular needs and thought on scalability for guidance on choosing the right tool for the development job at hand.

description: Design of an efficient thread-safe concurrent data structure is a balancing act between its implementation complexity and performance. Lock-based concurrent data structures, which are relatively easy to derive from their sequential counterparts and to prove thread-safe, suffer from poor throughput under even light multi-threaded workload. At the same time, lock-free concurrent structures allow for high throughput, but are notoriously difficult to get right and require careful reasoning to formally establish their correctness.
 We explore a solution to this conundrum based on batch parallelism, an approach for designing concurrent data structures via a simple insight: efficiently processing a batch of a priori known operations in parallel is easier than optimising performance for a stream of arbitrary asynchronous requests. Alas, batch-parallel structures have not seen wide practical adoption due to (i) the inconvenience of having to structure multi-threaded programs to explicitly group operations and (ii) the lack of a systematic methodology to implement batch-parallel structures as simply as lock-based ones.
 We present OBatcher-an OCaml library that streamlines the design, implementation, and usage of batch-parallel structures. It solves the first challenge (how to use) by suggesting a new lightweight implicit batching design that is built on top of generic asynchronous programming mechanisms. The second challenge (how to implement) is addressed by identifying a family of strategies for converting common sequential structures into efficient batch-parallel ones. We showcase OBatcher with a diverse set of benchmarks. Our evaluation of all the implementations on large asynchronous workloads shows that (a) they consistently outperform the corresponding coarse-grained lock-based implementations and that (b) their throughput scales reasonably with the number of processors.

description: Background/Questions/Methods:

Hyper-diverse microbial communities in soil mediate nutrient cycling processes and ecosystem productivity, yet we have a limited understanding of the environmental factors shaping their composition. To an even greater extent, identification of the metabolically active microbial community and environmental influences structuring its composition are lacking. As such, we investigated the influence of environmental factors on the diversity and composition of total and active bacterial and fungal communities across an expanse of northern hardwood forest in Michigan, USA, which spans a 500-km climatic gradient. We sought to understand how these total and active communities differ from one another and which environmental factors drive compositional differences within communities. We quantified the composition of soil bacterial and fungal communities using high-throughput DNA sequencing technology on co-extracted rDNA (total community) and rRNA (active community), and explored how a suite of ecologically relevant environmental characteristics shaped their diversity.

Results/Conclusions:

Among both Bacteria and fungi, we found that differences in composition between total and active communities reflected changes in relative abundance between study sites and did not indicate undiscovered biodiversity in the active community. Compositional variation within the total bacterial community was driven by subtle changes in soil pH and N content across sites. Changes in soil moisture shaped the composition of metabolically active bacteria and fungi and positively increased the active bacterial phylum Bacteroidetes (+1%) and active fungal classes Dothideomycetes (+4%) and Agaricomycetes (+7%) across the gradient. Our results indicate metabolically active taxa are an expression of species present in the total community that are differentially shaped by soil moisture availability. As such, we emphasize the importance of discerning how environmental determinants influence the metabolically active taxa of the total community to better understand how soil microbial communities will respond under future climate scenarios.

description: Trials involving genomic driven treatment selection require the coordination of many teams interacting with a great variety of information. The need of better informatics support to manage this complex set of operations motivated the creation of OpenGeneMed.

OpenGeneMed is a standalone and customizable version of GeneMed (Zhao et al., 2015), a web-based interface developed for the Molecular Profiling based Assignment of Cancer Therapy (NCI-MPACT) clinical trial coordinated by the NIH.

OpenGeneMed streamlines clinical trial management and it can be used by clinicians, lab personnel, statisticians and researchers as a communication hub.  It automates the annotation of genomic variants identified by sequencing tumor DNA, classifies the actionable mutations according to customizable rules, and facilitates quality control in reviewing variants. The system generates summarized reports with detected genomic alterations that a treatment review team can use for treatment assignment.

OpenGeneMed allows collaboration to happen seamlessly along the clinical pipeline; it helps reducing errors made transferring data between groups and facilitates clear documentation along the pipeline.

OpenGeneMed is distributed as a standalone virtual machine, ready for deployment and use from a web browser; its code is customizable to address specific needs of different clinical trials and research teams. Examples on how to change the code are provided in the technical documentation distributed with the virtual machine. In summary, OpenGeneMed offers an initial set of features inspired by our experience with GeneMed, a system that has been proven to be efficient and successful for coordinating the application of next-generation sequencing in the NCI-MPACT trial.

OpenGeneMed is available for download from our website (http://brb.nci.nih.gov/OpenGeneMed).
The Hawaii limited-access longline logbook summary report, 1 October to 31 December 2015.

Subjects: subject: Longlining (Fisheries)--Monitoring--Hawaii.

description: The following tables represent effort, retained catch (kept) and discard as reported on longline log sheets for the Hawaii limited-access longline fishery. To satisfy confidentiality RFMO reporting standards, data from the California-based longline fishery is also included in this report. Effort and catch statistics are summarized from logbook data submitted to the PIFSC, FRMD and are based on date of longline haul. The statistics originate from an Oracle table LLDS_REPORT_STATS_HICA database extraction done on 3 May 2016. When a statistic (number of vessels, trips) can involve dates of haul in 2 summary periods (i.e. years, semiannual, quarters) the item is counted in both summary periods. Thus, a trip total is for “partial and completed” trips. As such, these are not additive statistics (i.e. sum of 4 quarters is not the total for the year, etc)

description: Diese Arbeit behandelt die Modellierung und Optimierung von mit Phasenwechselmaterialien (PCM) ausgestatteten, energietechnischen Komponenten anhand zweier Fallstudien. PCM sind Materialien, deren Phasenwechseleigenschaften während des Schmelzens und Erstarrens für Heiz- und Kühlzwecke genutzt werden. Zunächst werden die theoretischen Grundlagen zu Wärmeübertragungsproblemen mit Phasenwechsel erörtert und entsprechende numerische Lösungsmethoden diskutiert. Ein Modell für Phasenwechselvorgänge wird vorgestellt, welches anhand analytischer Lösungen validiert wurde und in den Fallstudien zum Einsatz kam. Für beide Fallstudien wird der Stand der Technik erörtert und die entsprechenden Forschungsfragen werden formuliert. Die erste Fallstudie behandelt PCM-integrierte Photovoltaikmodule und die zweite Festbett-Latentwärmespeicher, welche nicht-kugelförmiger PCM-Kapseln verwenden. Für beide Systeme wurden thermische Model-le entwickelt und anhand experimenteller Daten mit guter Genauigkeit validiert. Diese Modelle wurden in Parameterstudien eingesetzt, um optimierte Systemkonfigurationen zu identifizieren. Die vorgestellten Ergebnisse zeigen, dass ein PCM-Kühlkörper mit ausreichender Dicke und Wärmeleitfähigkeit den Wirkungsgrad und die Lebensdauer von Photovoltaikmodulen erheblich erhöht. Darüber hinaus verbessern PCM-Kapseln mit hoher Packungs-dichte und Oberfläche sowohl die volumenspezifische Speicherkapazität als auch die thermische Leistung von Festbett-Latentwärmespeichern.
description: This thesis explores the modeling and optimization of energy system components incorporating phase change materials (PCM) through two different case studies. PCM are materials whose phase change characteristics during melting and solidification are utilized for heating and cooling purposes. The theoretical foundations of heat transfer problems involving phase change, along with the relevant numerical solution methods, are discussed. A phase change model is presented, which was validated against analytical solutions and applied in the case studies. For both case studies, a review of the state of the art is provided, followed by the formulation of specific research problems. The first case study investigated PCM-enhanced photovoltaic modules, while the second focused on packed bed latent heat storages (PBLHS) utilizing non-spherical PCM capsules. Thermal models were developed for both systems and validated with good accuracy against experimental data. These models were employed in parameter studies to identify optimized system configurations. The presented results demonstrate that a PCM heat sink with sufficient thickness and thermal conductivity can significantly improve the efficiency and lifespan of photovoltaic modules. Furthermore, PCM capsules with both high packing density and surface area increase the volume-specific storage capacity and thermal power output of PBLHS.
