description: Kunitz-type trypsin inhibitors bind to the active pocket of trypsin causing its inhibition. Plant Kunitz-type inhibitors are thought to be important in defense, especially against insect pests. From sequence analysis of various Kunitz-type inhibitors from plants, we identified CaTI2 from chickpea as a unique variant lacking the functionally important arginine residue corresponding to the soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI) and having a distinct and unique inhibitory loop organization. To further explore the implications of these sequence variations, we obtained the crystal structure of recombinant CaTI2 at 2.8Å resolution. It is evident from the structure that the variations in the inhibitory loop facilitates non-substrate like binding of CaTI2 to trypsin, while the canonical inhibitor STI binds to trypsin in substrate like manner. Our results establish the unique mechanism of trypsin inhibition by CaTI2, which warrant further research into its substrate spectrum.

description: Mining spatio-temporal correlation patterns for traffic prediction is a well-studied field. However, most approaches are based on the assumption of the availability of and accessibility to a sufficiently dense data source, which is rather the rare case in reality. Traffic sensors in road networks are generally highly sparse in their distribution: fleet-based traffic sensing is sparse in space but also sparse in time. There are also other traffic application, besides road traffic, like moving objects in the marine space, where observations are sparsely and arbitrarily distributed in space. In this paper, we tackle the problem of traffic prediction on sparse and spatially irregular and non-deterministic traffic observations. We draw a border between imputations and this work as we consider high sparsity rates and no fixed sensor locations. We advance correlation mining methods with a Sparse Unstructured Spatio Temporal Reconstruction (SUSTeR) framework that reconstructs traffic states from sparse non-stationary observations. For the prediction the framework creates a hidden context traffic state which is enriched in a residual fashion with each observation. Such an assimilated hidden traffic state can be used by existing traffic prediction methods to predict future traffic states. We query these states with query locations from the spatial domain.

Towards visual learning with attention mechanism
Creators: name: Wang, Lezi
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Tremendous interest in deep learning has emerged in the computer vision research community. The established deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved astonishing results in various vision tasks, while there are still problems that need to be addressed. First of all, the CNN models are perceived as ``black-box" with a lack of understanding of the internal function. Recently, the class-wise activation map is proposed to show a visual explanation of model attention, while it still lacks the way to utilize that explanation to guide the learning process. Additionally, the success of deep learning relies on supervised training the models on the large-scale data, which requires humans to create massive annotations. In this dissertation, we address that attention mechanisms can play significant roles in dealing with the challenges mentioned above. First, despite class-wise attention mechanisms providing good localization for an individual class of interest when it comes to interpreting CNNs, these techniques produce attention maps with substantially overlapping responses among different classes, leading to visual confusion and the need for discriminative attention. We address this problem by means of a new framework that makes class-discriminative attention a principled part of the learning process. Second, to get rid of human annotations, we introduce the Co-Attention as a weak-supervision to generate the positive/negative training samples and a Contrastive Attention module to enhance the feature representations such that the comparative contrast between features of the positive and negative samples are maximized. Third, we adopt the attention in feature space to bridge different vision tasks in a unified learning framework. Extensive experiments on vision benchmarks show the effectiveness of our approaches in terms of improved image classification and segmentation accuracy. Regards the applications, our proposed algorithms are applied to the unsupervised detection of highlighted segments in the videos, joint face detection and landmark localization, and reasoning about human facial behaviors in deception. Additionally, two new benchmarks are collected to support related studies and facilitate researches in the same direction.
Note on Divergence of the Chapman-Enskog Expansion for Solving Boltzmann Equation

description: Within about a year (1916-1917) Chapman and Enskog independently proposed an important expansion for solving the Boltzmann equation. However, the expansion is divergent or indeterminant in the case of relaxation time $τ\geq 1$. Even since this divergence problem has puzzled this subject for a century. By using a modified Möbius series inversion formula, this paper proposes a modified Chapman-Enskog expansion with a variable upper limit of the summation. The new expansion can give not only a convergent summation but also provide the best-so-far explanation on some unbelievable scenarios occurred in previous practice.

description: We refine our recent analysis of the electroweak precision data at the \PZO\ pole by including the hadronic decay modes of the \PZO. Within the framework of an effective Lagrangian we parametrize $SU(2)$ violation by the additional process-specific parameters $\De y_ν$, $\De\yh$, and $\De\yb$ (for the $\PZOν\barν$, $\PZO\Pq\bar\Pq$, and $\PZO\Pb\bar\Pb$ vertices) together with the previously introduced parameters $\De x$, $\De y$, and $\eps$. We find that a six-parameter analysis of the experimental data is indeed feasible, and it is carried out in addition to a four-parameter fit for $\De x$, $\De y$, $\eps$, and $\De\yb$ only. We reemphasize that the experimental data have become sensitive to the (combined) magnitude of the vertex corrections at the $\PWp\Pl\barν$ ($\PWmν\bar\Pl$) and $\PZO\Pl\bar\Pl$ vertices, $\De y$, which is insensitive to the notion of the Higgs mechanism but dependent on the non-Abelian, trilinear vector-boson coupling. Full explicit analytical results for the standard one-loop predictions for the above-mentioned parameters are given, and the leading two-loop top-quark effects are included. The analytic formluae for the analysis of the experimental data in terms of the parameters $\De x$, $\De y$ etc.\ are presented in order to encourage experimentalists to persue such an analysis by themselves with future data.

description: Quantum reservoir computing (QRC) exploits the information-processing capabilities of quantum systems to tackle time-series forecasting tasks, which is expected to be superior to their classical counterparts. By far, many QRC schemes have been theoretically proposed. However, most of these schemes involves long-time evolution of quantum systems or networks with quantum gates. This poses a challenge for practical implementation of these schemes, as precise manipulation of quantum systems is crucial, and this level of control is currently hard to achieve with the existing state of quantum technology. Here, we propose a different way of QRC scheme, which is friendly to experimental realization. It implements the quantum version of nonlinear vector autoregression, extracting linear and nonlinear features of quantum data by measurements. Thus, the evolution of complex networks of quantum gates can be avoided. Compared to other QRC schemes, our proposal also achieves an advance by effectively reducing the necessary training data for reliable predictions in time-series forecasting tasks. Furthermore, we experimentally verify our proposal by performing the forecasting tasks, and the observation matches well with the theorectial ones. Our work opens up a new way toward complex tasks to be solved by using the QRC, which can herald the next generation of the QRC.

description: Methods and facilities for grading whole ready-to-cook broilers and turkeys were analyzed in 18 commercial processing plants, where the grading was performed under the supervision of USDA licensed resident graders. Six plants were selected as representative of those with grading methods and facilities used extensively in the poultry industry. Data from each plant were analyzed for desirable and undesirable features that could affect accurate and efficient product grading or contribute to fatigue, inconvenience, and discomfort of the graders. Facilities at or near the sorting and grading areas are described and illustrated to show structural details that can affect grading operations. Guidelines are provided for those planning to process and pack products under the grading service to assist them in minimizing undesirable features that could contribute to lower levels of grading accuracy and efficiency. The report describes grading methods and facilities in three broiler and three turkey processing plants. Included in the appendix are excerpts from the regulations governing poultry grading, information from the "Poultry Graders Handbook" on facilities and equipment required for resident Federal-State graders, and a summary of quality specifications for individual carcasses of ready-to-cook poultry and parts. A copy of Form PY-140, Plant Survey for Poultry Grading, is also included to illustrate some of the necessary items that must be satisfactory prior to instituting grading service.

description: Reduction of unwanted environmental noises is an important feature of today's hearing aids (HA), which is why noise reduction is nowadays included in almost every commercially available device. The majority of these algorithms, however, is restricted to the reduction of stationary noises. In this work, we propose a denoising approach based on a three hidden layer fully connected deep learning network that aims to predict a Wiener filtering gain with an asymmetric input context, enabling real-time applications with high constraints on signal delay. The approach is employing a hearing instrument-grade filter bank and complies with typical hearing aid demands, such as low latency and on-line processing. It can further be well integrated with other algorithms in an existing HA signal processing chain. We can show on a database of real world noise signals that our algorithm is able to outperform a state of the art baseline approach, both using objective metrics and subject tests.

Year: 2018

description: The flexible remit of this article should operate as an invitation for educational practitioners to consider and hopefully engage with a range of democratic and malleable pedagogical tactics, and ways in which they might be adapted across academic and curricular practices within and across Higher Education. As such, the article does not present a specific and robustly complete set of pedagogical models, replete with pre-assigned instructions for an exact and replicative application. Rather, the brief tract should operate to incite and generate thoughts and ideas relating to new and alternative possibilities; and, in doing so, nudge new and insurgent ways of engaging with knowledge, the Higher Education environment, and the student experience. Through the exploration of a range of ideas and concepts, (adapted from the work of Roland Barthes and Guy Debord - specifically the Death of the Author, and the dérive and détournement), the piece argues that Higher Education academics and lecturers need to creatively confront the debilitating values and excesses of consumption – currently sweeping universities – with an insurrectionary range of radical tactics and alternative practices.

description: We present a method that leverages the complementarity of event cameras and standard cameras to track visual features with low-latency. Event cameras are novel sensors that output pixel-level brightness changes, called "events". They offer significant advantages over standard cameras, namely a very high dynamic range, no motion blur, and a latency in the order of microseconds. However, because the same scene pattern can produce different events depending on the motion direction, establishing event correspondences across time is challenging. By contrast, standard cameras provide intensity measurements (frames) that do not depend on motion direction. Our method extracts features on frames and subsequently tracks them asynchronously using events, thereby exploiting the best of both types of data: the frames provide a photometric representation that does not depend on motion direction and the events provide low-latency updates. In contrast to previous works, which are based on heuristics, this is the first principled method that uses raw intensity measurements directly, based on a generative event model within a maximum-likelihood framework. As a result, our method produces feature tracks that are both more accurate (subpixel accuracy) and longer than the state of the art, across a wide variety of scenes.

description: In this work an extension of the Gaussian model of the stochastic vacuum is presented. It consists of including higher cumulants than just the second one in the cluster expansion in QCD. The influence of nonabelian fourth cumulants on the potential of a static quark-antiquarkpair is examined and the formation of flux tubes between a static $q\bar{q}$-pair is investigated. It is found that the fourth cumulants can contribute to chromomagnetic flux tubes. Furthermore the contribution of fourth cumulants to the total cross section of soft high energy hadron-hadron scattering is examined and it is found that the fourth cumulants do not change the general picture obtained in the Gaussian model.

Defining Design and Technology in an Age of Uncertainty

Publisher: name: PRISM: Casting New Light on Learning, Theory and Practice
Year: 2018

description: Long standing debate surrounds the position that Design and Technology holds in the English and Welsh national curriculum. Some commentators espouse alignment with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) as its natural home, whilst others argue that this stifles creativity and takes no account of the ‘designerly’ nature they consider to be a central tenet of the subject. Against this backdrop, the subject has undergone changes in both prescribed subject knowledge content and examination and assessment arrangements by which pupil progress and attainment are measured. Set against this background, the work presented here summarises a Delphi study which sought to canvass established and experienced Design and Technology teachers about how they perceive the attributes, values and unique features of the subject. The results are analysed to give a view of the subject from within the classroom. Analysis reveals that participants in the study consider the ‘uniqueness’ of the subject to prevail over the values and attributes they collectively define it by. The study moves on to discuss the findings in relation to the values and direction which underpin the policy documentation that drives and shapes the subject from a national perspective. Finally, the work concludes by highlighting several important areas worthy of further research which have emerged and could be seen as contributory to understanding the nature and essence of Design and Technology.

description: In agricultural research, there has been a recent surge in the amount of Computer Vision (CV) focused work. But unlike general CV research, large high-quality public datasets are sparsely available. This can be partially attributed to the high variability between different agricultural tasks, crops and environments as well as the complexity of data collection, but it is also influenced by the reticence to publish datasets by many authors. This, as well as the lack of a widely used agricultural data repository, are impactful factors that hinder research in applied CV for agriculture as well as the usage of agricultural data in general-purpose CV research. In this survey, we provide a large number of high-quality datasets of images taken on fields. Overall, we find 45 datasets, which are listed in this paper as well as in an online catalog on the project website: https://smartfarminglab.github.io/field_dataset_survey/.

description: Random jitter or offset between the transmitter/receiver clocks is an important parameter that has to be accurately estimated for optimal detection of Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) symbols for high data-rate optical communications. This parameter in general is modeled as an unknown random quantity that depends on the clock drift between the transmitter/receiver clocks, and the random motion between the transmitter and receiver stations. In this paper, we have modeled the time jitter for two scenarios---phase modulation jitter and frequency modulation jitter. The phase modulation jitter is modeled as a Gaussian random variable which is estimated with the help of a maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) estimator. The frequency modulation jitter is characterized as a random walk, and this leads to the jitter modeling as a state space variable in the context of a dynamical system. Since the observations are the photon counts in each slot of a PPM symbol (for both MAP estimation and tracking), the resulting dynamical model is highly nonlinear, and therefore, particle filters are employed for tracking the frequency modulation jitter. We evaluate the performance of the maximum a posteriori estimators and particle filters both in terms of the relative mean-square error and probability of error, and for various signal-to-noise ratios. Furthermore, this evaluation is also carried out for low photon rates that are typical for deep space communications. We conclude that with MAP estimation and particle filters that estimate/track the time offset, we achieve a significant performance gain in terms of probability of error as compared to systems that do not have a time synchronization system in place.
Defining the Value of a School Subject
Creators: name: Hardy, Alison
Publisher: name: PRISM: Casting New Light on Learning, Theory and Practice
Year: 2018

description: One consequence of school performance measures is the prioritisation of some school subjects above others. The English Baccalaureate (EBacc), introduced in England in 2011, measures pupils’ progress in five subjects only (English, mathematics, science, a humanities subject and a language), and excludes creative subjects such as design and technology (D&T). This suggests that some subjects have greater value than others but the justification for some subjects' inclusion and others’ exclusion has been based on a perspective that draws on ideas from Hirsch (2006) and Young (2008). Counter arguments to this perspective have tended to focus on the economic and intrinsic value of the excluded subjects. This suggests that school subjects do have multiple values. The aim of this research is to establish a framework that could be used to explore and define the value of a school subject. Once the subject-value framework was established it was tested using data gathered from interviews with people who had an interest in education and specifically, D&T. The values they attributed to D&T, such as how it might benefit pupils whilst at school and in later life, were explored and analysed using the framework. The results suggest that the constructed subject-value framework can be used to analyse the values individuals attribute to a school subject. A range of goals and benefits related to the subject can be determined, although distinguishing between the different types of goals needs further research. Most values identified focused on how D&T helped individuals prepare for life beyond school. Additionally, the values reflected the economic justification for education, inasmuch that pupils learn skills in D&T they can use in future careers. This constructed subject-value framework could be used as a means of analysing curriculum policy as it influences the values different people attribute to a subject. Further work could assess if this paper’s findings are replicable or similar by testing the framework against other non-Ebacc subjects.

description: Interacting galaxies provide us with an excellent laboratory for studying a number of physical phenomena associated with these processes. In this paper, we present a spectroscopic and kinematic analysis of the interacting galaxy NGC 4656 and its companion Tidal Dwarf Galaxy (TDG) candidate, NGC 4656UV. Using Fabry-Perot and GMOS multi-slit data, we investigated the possible origin of NGC 4656UV. We found that NGC 4656UV has a low metallicity (12+log(O/H)$\sim$8.2) and it follows the mass-metallicity relation (MZR) for normal dwarf galaxies. For NGC 4656, we estimated a flat oxygen abundance gradient of $β$ = -0.027$\pm$0.029 dex kpc$^{-1}$, which suggests the presence of gas flows induced by gravitational interactions. By analysing radial velocity profiles and by fitting a kinematic model of the observed velocity field, we confirm the literature result that NGC 4656 consists of one single body instead of two objects. We estimated a dynamical mass of $6.8^{1.8}_{-0.6}\times10^{9}$ M$_{\odot}$ and R of 12.1 kpc from the kinematic model of NGC 4656. Although the observed velocity field is dominated by rotation at large scales (V$_{max}$/$σ\gtrsim$2.8), important non-rotational motions are present at small scales. Based on these new results, and on previously published information, we propose that NGC 4656 and 4656UV are a pair of interacting galaxies. NGC 4656UV is a companion of NGC 4656 and it does not have a tidal origin. The interaction between the two could have triggered the star formation in NGC 4656UV and increased the star formation in the northeast side of NGC 4656.

description: We have investigated the redshift space distortions in the optically selected Durham/UKST Galaxy Redshift Survey using the 2-point galaxy correlation function perpendicular and parallel to the observer's line of sight. We present results for the real space 2-point correlation function, by inverting the optimally estimated projected correlation function and find good agreement with other real space estimates. On small, non-linear scales we observe an elongation of the z-space corelation function contours in the line of sight direction. Our result for the 1-D pairwise rms velocity dispersion is sigma = 416 +- 36 kms^-1 which is consistent with those from recent redshift surveys and canonical values, but inconsistent with SCDM or LCDM models. On larger, linear scales we observe a compression of the z-space correlation function contours in the line of sight direction. This is due to the infall of galaxies into overdense regions and the Durham/UKST data favours a value of Omega^0.6/b = 0.5, where Omega is the mean mass density of the Universe and b is the linear bias factor which relates the galaxy and mass distributions. Comparison with other optical estimates yield consistent results, with the conclusion that the data does not favour an unbiased critical-density universe.

description: The goal of personalized decision making is to map a unit's characteristics to an action tailored to maximize the expected outcome for that unit. Obtaining high-quality mappings of this type is the goal of the dynamic regime literature. In healthcare settings, optimizing policies with respect to a particular causal pathway may be of interest as well. For example, we may wish to maximize the chemical effect of a drug given data from an observational study where the chemical effect of the drug on the outcome is entangled with the indirect effect mediated by differential adherence. In such cases, we may wish to optimize the direct effect of a drug, while keeping the indirect effect to that of some reference treatment. [16] shows how to combine mediation analysis and dynamic treatment regime ideas to defines policies associated with causal pathways and counterfactual responses to these policies. In this paper, we derive a variety of methods for learning high quality policies of this type from data, in a causal model corresponding to a longitudinal setting of practical importance. We illustrate our methods via a dataset of HIV patients undergoing therapy, gathered in the Nigerian PEPFAR program.
Odd Spoof Multiperfect Numbers

description: We generalize the definition of spoof perfect numbers to multiperfect numbers and study their characteristics. As a result, we find several new odd spoof multiperfect numbers, akin to Descartes' number. An example is $8999757$, which would be an odd multiperfect number, if one of its prime factors, $61$, was a square. We briefly describe an algorithm for searching for such numbers and discuss a few of their properties.

description: Excerpts from the report: The purpose of this study was to analyze systems for packing whole, ready-to-cook broilers and to develop and incorporate economically feasible improvements in the systems to increase their level of efficiency. Packing operations were observed in broiler processing plants to gather background information on the combinations of work methods and equipment commonly used in the industry. Packing and grading operations in randomly selected commercial plants were analyzed by time study methods to determine average labor requirements, by function, when various methodologies and equipment are used. Based on productivity data gathered from the randomly selected plants, one of the plants was chosen to exemplify the way productivity could be improved in plants that use similar work methods and equipment.

description: A muon collider with controllable energy resolution and transverse beam polarization provides a powerful probe of the Higgs sector in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with explicit CP violation, through s-channel production of Higgs bosons. The production rates and the CP-even and CP-odd transverse-polarization asymmetries are complementary in diagnosing CP violation in the Higgs sector.

On the violation of L$\ddot{u}$ders bound of macrorealist and noncontextual inequalities

description: In a recent Letter [PRL, 113, 050401 (2014)], it is shown that the quantum violation of a three-time Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) for a dichotomic qutrit system can exceed the L$\ddot{u}$ders bound. This is obtained by using a degeneracy breaking projective measurement rule which the authors termed as von Neumann rule. Such violation can even approach the algebraic maximum in the asymptotic limit of system size. In this paper, we question the implication of such violation of L$\ddot{u}$ders bound and its conceptual relevance in LG scenario. We note an important fact that the basis for implementing the proposed von Neumann rule for a degenerate observable is non-unique and show that the violation of L$\ddot{u}$ders bound is crucially dependent on the choice of basis. Further, we demonstrate the violation of L$\ddot{u}$ders bound of the simplest non-contextual inequality (NCI) which is in contrast to the reasoning provided in the aforementioned Letter. This result further raises the doubts regarding the validity of the proposed rule as a viable projective measurement. We discuss the relevance of such results with respect to the usual quantum violation of LGI and NCI.

description: IceCube measures a diffuse neutrino flux comparable to the Waxman-Bahcall bound, which suggests the possibility that the ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) have a common origin with diffuse high energy neutrinos. We propose high energy gamma-ray and/or neutrino observations toward the arrival directions of UHECRs to search for the sources and test this possibility. We calculate the detection probability of gamma-ray/neutrino sources, and find that the average probability per UHECR of >10 EeV is $\sim$10% if the sensitivity of the gamma-ray or neutrino telescope is $\sim$10$^{-12}$ erg cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ and the source number density is $\sim$10$^{-5}$ Mpc$^{-3}$. Future gamma-ray and neutrino observations toward UHECRs, e.g., by LHAASO-WCDA, CTA, IceCube/Gen2, are encouraged to constrain the density of UHECR sources or even identify the sources of UHECRs.

Hybrid and Conventional Mesons in the Flux Tube Model: Numerical Studies and their Phenomenological Implications

description: We present results from analytical and numerical studies of a flux tube model of hybrid mesons. Our numerical results use a Hamiltonian Monte Carlo algorithm and so improve on previous analytical treatments, which assumed small flux tube oscillations and an adiabatic separation of quark and flux tube motion. We find that the small oscillation approximation is inappropriate for typical hadrons and that the hybrid mass is underestimated by the adiabatic approximation. For physical parameters in the ``one-bead" flux tube model we estimate the lightest hybrid masses (${}_ΛL = {}_1 P$ states) to be 1.8-1.9~GeV for $u\bar u$ hybrids, 2.1-2.2~GeV for $s\bar s$ and 4.1-4.2~GeV for $c\bar c$. We also determine masses of conventional $q\bar q$ mesons with $L=0$ to $L=3$ in this model, and confirm good agreement with experimental $J$-averaged multiplet masses. Mass estimates are also given for hybrids with higher orbital and flux-tube excitations. The gap from the lightest hybrid level (${}_1P$) to the first hybrid orbital excitation (${}_1D$) is predicted to be $\approx 0.4$~GeV for light quarks $(q=u,d)$ and $\approx 0.3$~GeV for $q=c$. Both ${}_1P$ and ${}_1D$ hybrid multiplets contain the exotics $1^{-+}$ and $2^{+-}$; in addition the ${}_1P$ has a $0^{+-}$ and the ${}_1D$ contains a $3^{-+}$. Hybrid mesons with doubly-excited flux tubes are also considered. The implications of our results for spectroscopy are discussed, with emphasis on charmonium hybrids, which may be accessible at facilities such as BEPC, KEK, a Tau-Charm Factory, and in $ψ$ production at hadron colliders.
