description: With the rapid explosion of the World Wide Web, it is becoming increasingly possible to easily acquire a wide variety of information such as flight schedules, yellow pages, used car prices, current stock prices, entertainment event schedules, account balances, etc. It would be very useful to have spoken dialogue interfaces for such information access tasks. We identify portability, usability, robustness, and extensibility as the four primary design objectives for such systems. In other words, the objective is to develop a PURE (Portable, Usable, Robust, Extensible) system. A two-layered dialogue architecture for spoken dialogue systems is presented where the upper layer is domain-independent and the lower layer is domain-specific. We are implementing this architecture in a mixed-initiative system that accesses flight arrival/departure information from the World Wide Web.

description: We investigate the cosmic acceleration and the evolution of dark energy across the cosmological constant boundary in universal extra dimensions UED. We adopt an empirical approach to solve the higher-dimensional cosmological equations so that the deceleration parameter $q$ is consistent with observations. The expressions for the jerk and deceleration parameters are independent of the number of dimensions $n$. The behavior of pressure in $4$D shows a positive-to-negative transition corresponding to the deceleration-to-acceleration cosmic transition. This pressure behavior helps in providing an explanation to the cosmic deceleration-acceleration transition although the reason behind the transition itself remains unknown. In the conventional $4$D cosmology, there is a no-go theorem prevents the EoS parameter of a single perfect fluid in FRW geometry to cross the $ω=-1$ boundary. The current model includes a single homogenous but anisotropic perfect fluid in a homogenous FRW metric with two different scale factors in the ordinary $4$D and the UED. In contrast to the conventional $4$D cosmology, we have found that the dark energy evolution in UED shows $ω=-1$ crossing. however, the no-go theorem is still respected in $4$D where the EoS parameter doesn't cross the $ω=-1$ boundary.

 The only previously published record of this genus from Southeast Asia is of Pentaneura divergens Johannsen, assigned to Monopelopia by Fittkau (1962) based on the immature stages (Zavrel ˇ, 1933). In this survey the larvae, which are quite characteristic (for Pentaneurini) were found in several pools of varying conductivities from 27–3,240 µS. cm−1 and dissolved solids of 14–1,630 ppm.

title: The Dynamics of Soil Carbon and Nitrogen in a Wet Australian Sclerophyll Forest as Affected by Repeated Prescribed Fires

subject: Peachester State Forest, Queensland

description: Australia has 155 million hectares of native forests. Trees in Australia's native forests hold about 6.56 billion tonnes of carbon (C) in their biomass, with eucalypt woodlands and open forests containing the most biomass. Historically, fire has been a distinct feature of Australian forests. It is predicted that the frequency and severity of fire in Australia would be increased due to reduced rainfall and high temperature in the near future. Prescribed burning (generally low density fires) has been used as a tool in forest management around the world to reduce fuel load and to protect many of the landscapes from wildfires. However, there are concerns that prescribed fires cause a reduction in soil fertility at sites where the intervals between fires are too short. The extent of fire effects on aboveground ecosystem components and soil varies greatly with fire intensity and frequency. Most studies have been focused on the short-term/immediate effects of fires on soil. The effects of frequency of the long-term repeated fires are largely unknown. The objectives of this study were to examine the effects of different repeated prescribed-burning regimes on a) C and nitrogen (N) storage and b) temporal dynamics of C and N in an Australian forest (Peachester State Forest), using a 39 year-old repeated prescribed burning trial with three treatments: no burning (NB) since 1969, 2 yearly burning (2yrB) and 4 yearly burning (4yrB).
The syntactic processing of particles in Japanese spoken language

description: Particles fullfill several distinct central roles in the Japanese language. They can mark arguments as well as adjuncts, can be functional or have semantic funtions. There is, however, no straightforward matching from particles to functions, as, e.g., GA can mark the subject, the object or an adjunct of a sentence. Particles can cooccur. Verbal arguments that could be identified by particles can be eliminated in the Japanese sentence. And finally, in spoken language particles are often omitted. A proper treatment of particles is thus necessary to make an analysis of Japanese sentences possible. Our treatment is based on an empirical investigation of 800 dialogues. We set up a type hierarchy of particles motivated by their subcategorizational and modificational behaviour. This type hierarchy is part of the Japanese syntax in VERBMOBIL.

description: EPIPHIOMYS CORYNDONI LAVOCAT, 1973
 The holotype of this species (KNM RU 2253) is a left mandibular fragment with m1-m2 from the Lower Miocene of Rusinga, Kenya (Lavocat, 1973: 46). According to Lavocat (1973), this species has also been found at Songhor (Kenya) and Napak (Uganda). Incidentally, the specific epithet was dedicated ‘À la famille Coryndon et à Mrs Coryndon Savage’ (Lavocat, 1973: 46). This suggests that this name should have been declined as ‘ coryndonorum ’ (International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1999: art. 31.1.2).
 One of the differences between E. coryndoni and Paraphiomys occidentalis and P. pigotti is the size, which is much smaller in E. coryndoni. Another dissimilarity is the more developed metalophulid II of E. coryndoni. Epiphiomys coryndoni has the metalophulid II much more developed than in P. hopwoodi or Paraphiomys sp. nov. from Saudi Arabia. Epiphiomys coryndoni is distinct from Sacaresia moyaeponsi, for example, in being less lophodont and in having four lophed upper molars. It differs from Gaudeamus aegyptius, Neosciuromys africanus, Apodecter stromeri, Kochalia geespei, P. renelavocati sp. nov., P. roessneri, P. australis, P. shipmani, P. orangeus, P. afarensis, Paraulacodus johanesi and Paraulacodus indicus, among many other characters, in the presence of a metalophulid II on the lower molars.

description: Two different TiO2 nanoparticles, NM101 and NM105, were evaluated against a range of Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus lactis) and Gram-negative (Salmonella enterica var. Enteridis and Escherichia coli) bacteria. Both NM101 and NM105 TiO2 nanoparticles (UV-exposed or none) had a significant antibacterial activity when the concentration of TiO2 suspension was 100 µg mL−1. The activation of the TiO2 NPs led, in all cases, to a shift in the growth curve, revealing lower counts as the concentration increased. E. coli was the most significantly affected pathogen by both TiO2 nanoparticles reaching among 2–3 log CFU.mL−1 reduction. In addition, in the case of the probiotic bacteria, NM105 TiO2 nanoparticles had similar effects as the bacterial density was reduced by 2–3 log CFU.mL−1. These results may be applied as a potent technology to be included in the formulation of new disinfectants.

description: This work examines how we can account for harm arising from innovation in machine learning and database matching, and will propose a prefatory method for the quantification of harm. The work’s primary contribution is to propose a method of modeling the harm of a dataset, analyzing the risk of deanonymization given these new factors. We carry out two experiments in order to demonstrate the harm accompanying modern dataset applications -- the first exploring machine learning's applications to WhatsApp social network analysis, the second exploring the potential for large-scale database matching between University directories and TinderU profiles. We apply our model to these examples, to demonstrate its the efficacy in a real world setting. We show that this model can be applied as a general framework, to guide both legal regulation of data release and implementation of current anonymization methods.

description: Extant anomalies in several semileptonic $B$-meson decays argue for physics beyond the Standard Model. Measurements of both neutral-current decays (such as $R_K$, $R_{K^*}$ and $B_s\rightarrow ϕμμ$) as well as charged-current ones- $R(D)$ and $R(D^*)$ -provide strong hints for the violation of lepton flavor universality. Recent studies have shown that a class of effective field theory (EFT) models may explain such anomalies in terms of only a few parameters which can be determined phenomenologically. In this literature, we examine such resolutions in the context of the requisite $(\bar{s}$ $b$)($\barτ τ)$ operator, and look for its signals at the 13 TeV LHC, with a final state of one $b$-jet, and an oppositely charged $μ$-$τ$ pair, with the muon coming from the decay of one of the $τ$ leptons. We obtain discovery and exclusion limits on the model parameters as a function of luminosity at the 13 TeV LHC.

description: Paramerina Fittkau
(Fig. 10)
 Paramerina is a worldwide genus, quite speciose, and with larvae tolerant of a wide range of environmentally deleterious conditions. Paramerina aucta (Johannsen) and P. dolosa (Johannsen) from Indonesia, assigned to the genus by Fittkau (1962) are described in their immature stages by Zavrelˇ (1933). Paramerina ignobilis (Johannsen) from Sumatra is undescribed in immature stages but appears to be restricted to tree holes from Indonesia to northern Australia. Species discrimination in Paramerina is based largely on subtle differences in the pupa with little or no ability to confirm or support larval features.
 Thai specimens here allocated to Paramerina pose some problems: although usually the genus is recognisable by the palp divided into two parts, with a large ring organ lying between the two parts, this feature may be indistinct or not present. Without this it, larval separation from Zavrelimyia may not be possible: both have similar mouthparts (ligula and mandible), similar cephalic setal patterns and a darkened posterior to the procercus. An often-cited difference is the posterior parapod claws all being pale in Zavrelimyia and including one small clearly bifid claw. Ambiguously placed specimens from Thailand have a contrastingly dark posterior parapod claw among simple claws, but an apparently undivided palp.
 Few larvae have been found only in unimpacted dilute sites, with conductivities of 35–168 µS. cm−1 and dissolved solids of 17–84 ppm.

description: Speedup learning seeks to improve the computational efficiency of problem solving with experience. In this paper, we develop a formal framework for learning efficient problem solving from random problems and their solutions. We apply this framework to two different representations of learned knowledge, namely control rules and macro-operators, and prove theorems that identify sufficient conditions for learning in each representation. Our proofs are constructive in that they are accompanied with learning algorithms. Our framework captures both empirical and explanation-based speedup learning in a unified fashion. We illustrate our framework with implementations in two domains: symbolic integration and Eight Puzzle. This work integrates many strands of experimental and theoretical work in machine learning, including empirical learning of control rules, macro-operator learning, Explanation-Based Learning (EBL), and Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) Learning.

subject: Thermoplastics

description: Current use of electronics has been growing rapidly. The trend is creating huge environmental impacts during manufacture of electronic goods and at the end of life. Alternative manufacturing and disposal techniques are required. Circuits in Plastic (CiP) manufacturing is designed to address these issues. Circuit components are placed in a plastic substrate, conductive tracks are screen printed and the circuit is completed by thermally bonding a cover sheet over the circuit. The circuits are disassembled by mechanical means. While the process requires much less energy and produces minimal waste, the process must be reliable. Mechanical reliability and thermal stability of electronic circuits is important in electronics. Tensile tests conducted on CiP circuits showed the electrical connection remained intact during an extension of 3%. The test was conducted at the laboratory ambient temperature of 21°C. Thermal simulation of the steady state temperature distribution of an integrated circuit for the CiP shows little temperature difference (less than 5°C) between CiP and traditional surface mounted devices. The experimental work showed CiP circuits are functional at high operating temperatures (60°C). CiP was not tested across the standard range of -55°C to 150°C. Such tests are only possible if the glass transition temperature of the plastic substrate is not exceeded.

description: In this paper, we present a novel nodal integration scheme for meshfree Galerkin methods that draws on the mathematical framework of the virtual element method. We adopt linear maximum-entropy basis functions for the discretization of field variables, although the proposed scheme is applicable to any linear meshfree approximant. In our approach, the weak form integrals are nodally integrated using nodal representative cells that carry the nodal displacements and state variables such as strains and stresses. The nodal integration is performed using the virtual element decomposition, wherein the bilinear form is decomposed into a consistency part and a stability part that ensure consistency and stability of the method. The performance of the proposed nodal integration scheme is assessed through benchmark problems in linear and nonlinear analyses of solids for small displacements and small-strain kinematics. Numerical results are presented for linear elastostatics and linear elastodynamics, and viscoelasticity. We demonstrate that the proposed nodally integrated meshfree method is accurate, converges optimally, and is more reliable and robust than a standard cell-based Gauss integrated meshfree method.

For example, we treated the cases where the arrangement has t multiple intersection points and the rest are simple intersection points. In this case, the fundamental group of the complement is a direct sum of infinite cyclic groups and t free groups. Hence, the fundamental groups in these cases is ``big''. These calculations will be useful in computing the fundamental group of Hirzebruch covering surfaces.

description: The full golf swing involves a complex pattern of trunk movement thought to be important in generating power. The three-dimensional kinematics of the trunk, however, have not been fully described. In particular, it is unknown whether gender differences exist in the dynamics and coordination of the thorax and the pelvis during the swings of skilled golfers. The aims of this project were to examine the movement patterns of the thorax and the pelvis during the full swing of male and female skilled golfers, as well as investigate the effects of an endurance based practice putting task on full swing kinematics. New insights into the swing kinematics of skilled golfers Linear displacement, angular displacement, and angular velocity magnitudes were significantly different between the thorax and pelvis segments of skilled golfers. However, despite the magnitude-based differences, profiles of three-dimensional displacement and velocity were similar amongst skilled golfers. The most notable difference between segments was the higher overall contribution of lateral tilt velocity to the motion of the thorax compared to that of the pelvis. Results from this project also revealed that skilled golfers were able to perform the motion of the golf swing with low levels of movement variability. Over repeated swings, variability of thorax and pelvis motion was low. Hand and club motion variability was also low, particularly at the point of ball contact. Lower levels of movement variability at ball contact compared to the preceding phases of the swing suggest that kinematic variability is influenced more by the accuracy demands in the final phases, rather than the initial phases where generating power is more of a priority.

description: We introduce a novel approach for keypoint detection task that combines handcrafted and learned CNN filters within a shallow multi-scale architecture. Handcrafted filters provide anchor structures for learned filters, which localize, score and rank repeatable features. Scale-space representation is used within the network to extract keypoints at different levels. We design a loss function to detect robust features that exist across a range of scales and to maximize the repeatability score. Our Key.Net model is trained on data synthetically created from ImageNet and evaluated on HPatches benchmark. Results show that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art detectors in terms of repeatability, matching performance and complexity.

Tanytarsus

description: Tanytarsus v.d. Wulp
(Figs. 20, 22–24)
 Tanytarsus is a worldwide genus with many species, with taxonomy based especially on the complex male genitalia, on diagnostic pupal exuvial spine and spinule patterns. Larvae are much more difficult to distinguish, and in every region studied, there is a mismatch between the number of larval types recognised and the substantially greater total number of species present.
 One readily-recognisable species, T. formosanus Kieffer, occurs throughout regional standing waters. The species identity is confirmed by pharate pupae (that is, with characteristic pupal abdominal patterning visible within the late 4 th instar larva) and some pharate adults, with male genitalia visible within pupae. The larva conforms to that described by Ekrem (2001), who resolved the convoluted taxonomy and nomenclature of this widespread Old World species. As elsewhere, the larvae of T. formosanus in Thailand exhibit wide environmental tolerance, occurring in tsunamiimpacted and unimpacted ponds, including disturbed and undisturbed peat swamps. Maximum conductivities tolerated were as high as 7,800 µS. cm−1 with dissolved solids of 3,900 ppm, in impacted sites in which the species can be common and persistent across the survey period. Unassociated larvae likely to be conspecific based on basic morphology are also present in dilute water.
 Two further types of larval Tanytarsus can be distinguished by the relative lengths and pigmentation pattern of the antennal segments and by differences in the relative and absolute length of the Lauterborn organs stems. A species with very long stems to the Lauterborn organs (Fig. 23), here termed ‘Thai sp. 1’ occurs sporadically in dilute water bodies with conductivity of 43–260 µS. cm−1 and dissolved solids of 22–120 ppm. A third larval morphotype ‘Thai sp. 2’ with intermediate lengthened stems to the Lauterborn organs (Fig. 24) occurs in both unimpacted dilute (44–100 µS. cm−1, 22–52 ppm) ponds and in one impacted site of 1,650 µS. cm−1 and 820 ppm dissolved solids. All larval Tanytarsus larvae are considered to be collector-gatherers (detritivores).

description: Computer vision produces representations of scene content. Much computer vision research is predicated on the assumption that these intermediate representations are useful for action. Recent work at the intersection of machine learning and robotics calls this assumption into question by training sensorimotor systems directly for the task at hand, from pixels to actions, with no explicit intermediate representations. Thus the central question of our work: Does computer vision matter for action? We probe this question and its offshoots via immersive simulation, which allows us to conduct controlled reproducible experiments at scale. We instrument immersive three-dimensional environments to simulate challenges such as urban driving, off-road trail traversal, and battle. Our main finding is that computer vision does matter. Models equipped with intermediate representations train faster, achieve higher task performance, and generalize better to previously unseen environments.

description: Dobruja, one of the provinces of Romania, is a good example of multi-ethnic cohabitation.For hundreds of years, it has been the home of peoples which, through their culture, way of life, andtolerance, have yielded the current configuration of the region’s profile.In Turkish families from Dobrogea, particularly those in rural areas, changes have occurred as to thestrictness of the life norms observed and passed on along the centuries. Nowadays traditions andmindsets from patriarchal times coexist with more recent, modern ones. The research strategy I optedfor in order to complete my enterprise was the directive interview correlated with the audio recordingmethod. The analysis of the lullaby “Dandini, dandini dastana” from the folklore of the Turks ofDobrogea has revealed that it belongs to the old stratum of traditional creations.

description: Dementia is a progressive, life limiting condition that, as cognitive and functional capacity decline, has an increasing impact on the health and quality of life of the person with the condition and their family caregivers (AIHW, 2012). It is a condition that is cloaked in stigma and misunderstanding, factors that have the potential to isolate those living with the condition from sources of practical and emotional support (Alzheimer's Australia, 2012). Recent advances in the treatment of dementia have not resulted in a cure or substantially altered the disease progression, which accentuates a need for early psychosocial intervention (Prince, Bryce, & Ferri, 2011). A proactive approach with interventions offered at the beginning of the disease/care trajectory is seen as a way to develop the coping resources of the person with dementia and their caregiver, to prevent or delay progression into a more dependent or critical period (Bates, Boote, & Beverley, 2003; Clare, Kinsella, Logsdon, Whitlatch, & Zarit, 2010; Moon & Betts Adams, 2012). Early-intervention also creates a window of opportunity for involving the person with dementia whilst they are still able to participate in planning discussions (Alzheimer's Australia NSW, 2012; Cooper et al., 2012; Whitlatch, Judge, Zarit, & Femia, 2006).

(Figs. 27–28)
 When Cranston & Hare (1995) revised the genus Conochironomus, species were known only from Australia and Africa. Since then, the distinctive larvae and pupae have been found in Thailand (P.S. Cranston, F. Reiss, unpublished data). Furthermore, a new genus and species named and described from Sumatra by Kikuchi & Sasa (1990) must be allocated to Conochirononomu s.
 In the post-tsunami survey, two larvae were found, one in a recovering tsunami-impacted site (505 µS. cm−1, 259 ppm), the other in a more dilute unimpacted, non-peaty pool of conductivity 205 µS. cm−1 and with 102 ppm dissolved solids. Conochironomus larvae are collector-gatherers.

2Planning for Contingencies: A Decision-based Approach

description: A fundamental assumption made by classical AI planners is that there is no uncertainty in the world: the planner has full knowledge of the conditions under which the plan will be executed and the outcome of every action is fully predictable. These planners cannot therefore construct contingency plans, i.e., plans in which different actions are performed in different circumstances. In this paper we discuss some issues that arise in the representation and construction of contingency plans and describe Cassandra, a partial-order contingency planner. Cassandra uses explicit decision-steps that enable the agent executing the plan to decide which plan branch to follow. The decision-steps in a plan result in subgoals to acquire knowledge, which are planned for in the same way as any other subgoals. Cassandra thus distinguishes the process of gathering information from the process of making decisions. The explicit representation of decisions in Cassandra allows a coherent approach to the problems of contingent planning, and provides a solid base for extensions such as the use of different decision-making procedures.

Very large Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in two-dimensional Janus manganese dichalcogenides and its application to realize skyrmion states

description: The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), which only exists in noncentrosymmetric systems, is responsible for the formation of exotic chiral magnetic states. The absence of DMI in most two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials is due to their intrinsic inversion symmetry. Here, using first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that significant DMI can be obtained in a series of Janus monolayers of manganese dichalcogenides MnXY in which the difference between X and Y on the opposites sides of Mn breaks the inversion symmetry. In particular, the DMI amplitudes of MnSeTe and MnSTe are comparable to those of state-of-the-art ferromagnet/heavy metal (FM/HM) heterostructures. In addition, by performing Monte Carlo simulations, we find that at low temperatures the ground states of the MnSeTe and MnSTe monolayers can transform from ferromagnetic states with worm-like magnetic domains into the skyrmion states by applying external magnetic field. At increasing temperature, the skyrmion states starts fluctuating above 50 K before an evolution to a completely disordered structure at higher temperature. The present results pave the way for new device concepts utilizing chiral magnetic structures in specially designed 2D ferromagnetic materials.

Repetition, Reception, Response: Minimal Music and the Use of Affect in Analysis
Creators: Saccomano, Mark
Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Music
Repetition in music
Musical analysis
Affect (Psychology)
Music theory

description: Affect reorients our approach to expressivity in music.  Instead of searching for emotions embedded in the music, we can consider the moment of reception and begin to associate affective responses with musical structure.  This approach differs from one that supposes an emotion is felt after the significance of a musical event is consciously apprehended.  Music analysis typically shies away from affect; it is often considered too close to emotion, and therefore too subjective, to be treated as an appropriate object of study.

In this paper, I use repetition as an entry point into a discussion of how the affective response of the listener plays a key role in identifying and understanding musical structures. In the first analysis, an early Steve Reich piece, I look at how affect can anchor our interpretation of a work’s repetitive elements and their timbral characteristics.  For example, the analysis shows how beating phenomena are perceived to be a musical component of the piece rather than an unwelcome artifact of electronic performance. The second analysis, a late chamber work by Morton Feldman, looks at how the perception of similarity and identity is linked to the work’s ability to guide our attention to different aspects of structure.

In the third analysis, an electronic composition by Ryoji Ikeda, I examine how the piece calls for an embodied approach to music reception, one that explicitly recognizes the role of affect in perception. Such an approach is necessary in order to notice the presence of recurring musical motives and account for the unexpected reconfiguration of the listening space that the work provides.

Religious Socialism - Paul Tillich, the Kairos, and the Present Moment

Socialism and religion

description: The first part of my thesis is dedicated to Paul Tillich and the Kairos of the past. On the one hand, I am writing about important landmarks of Tillich’s life in Germany. On the other hand, I systematize Tillich´s thoughts about religious socialism. Drawing on my conclusion of part one, I follow Tillich's critical impulses to make religious socialism useful for the kairos of the present. An important approach thereby is the expansion of the proletariat and the breakdown of the two-class schema already expressed in the "Socialist Decision," which can no longer be maintained in this way in the neoliberal postmodern era. Moreover, Tillich places the political protest of the proletariat in the prophetic tradition of theology, while the future of the protestant principle (the theological protest) can only be found in the decision for socialism. However, religious socialism is for him no time- and spaceless project; he always talks about his own historical situation. Therefore, it is important to bring his thoughts in conversation with our contemporary theo-political struggles for social justice. The loud demand for social justice, as it is expressed again and again by contemporary theologians in various forms, is placed in the tradition of religious socialism and thus made radically fruitful. Concluding the second part, I make a case for why religious socialism still matters today.
