description: We perform the first comprehensive constraints on two Finslerian models, i.e., the simplest Finslerian $Λ$CDM (F$Λ$) and non-flat F$Λ$ models using the Type Ia supernovae, baryonic acoustic oscillations, cosmic microwave background and lensing observations. Using the most stringent constraints we can provide, we find that the constrained typical parameters of both Finslerian models are all consistent with zero at the $2σ$ confidence level (C.L.). This means that both Finslerian models just deviate very slightly from the $Λ$CDM one, which is also verified by using two geometrical diagnostics to distinguish three different models from each other. We also find that a spatially flat universe is still preferred in the framework of Finsler geometry, that our measured values of the spectral index $n_s$ of primordial power spectrum in both Fisnlerian models exclude the scale invariance at more than $8σ$ C.L., and that the current $H_0$ tension can be relieved from $3.4σ$ to $2.9σ$ and $2.8σ$ in the F$Λ$ and non-flat F$Λ$ models, respectively.

Effects of Number of Filters of Convolutional Layers on Speech Recognition Model Accuracy
Creators: name: Mou, James

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Inspired by the progress of the End-to-End approach [1], this paper systematically studies the effects of Number of Filters of convolutional layers on the model prediction accuracy of CNN+RNN (Convolutional Neural Networks adding to Recurrent Neural Networks) for ASR Models (Automatic Speech Recognition). Experimental results show that only when the CNN Number of Filters exceeds a certain threshold value is adding CNN to RNN able to improve the performance of the CNN+RNN speech recognition model, otherwise some parameter ranges of CNN can render it useless to add the CNN to the RNN model. Our results show a strong dependency of word accuracy on the Number of Filters of convolutional layers. Based on the experimental results, the paper suggests a possible hypothesis of Sound-2-Vector Embedding (Convolutional Embedding) to explain the above observations. Based on this Embedding hypothesis and the optimization of parameters, the paper develops an End-to-End speech recognition system which has a high word accuracy but also has a light model-weight. The developed LVCSR (Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition) model has achieved quite a high word accuracy of 90.2% only by its Acoustic Model alone, without any assistance from intermediate phonetic representation and any Language Model. Its acoustic model contains only 4.4 million weight parameters, compared to the 35~68 million acoustic-model weight parameters in DeepSpeech2 [2] (one of the top state-of-the-art LVCSR models) which can achieve a word accuracy of 91.5%. The light-weighted model is good for improving the transcribing computing efficiency and also useful for mobile devices, Driverless Vehicles, etc. Our model weight is reduced to ~10% the size of DeepSpeech2, but our model accuracy remains close to that of DeepSpeech2. If combined with a Language Model, our LVCSR system is able to achieve 91.5% word accuracy.

description: Classes of two-nucleon ($2N$) contact interactions are developed in configuration space at leading order (LO), next-to-leading order (NLO), and next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO) by fitting the experimental singlet $np$ scattering length and deuteron binding energy at LO, and $np$ and $pp$ scattering data in the laboratory-energy range 0--15 MeV at NLO and 0--25 MeV at N3LO. These interactions are regularized by including two Gaussian cutoffs, one for $T\,$=$\,0$ and the other for $T\,$=$\,1$ channels. The cutoffs are taken to vary in the ranges $R_0\,$=$(1.5$--2.3) fm and $R_1\,$=$(1.5$--3.0) fm. The 780 (1,100) data points up to 15 (25) MeV energy, primarily differential cross sections, are fitted by the NLO (N3LO) models with a $χ^2$/datum about 1.7 or less (well below 1.5), when harder cutoff values are adopted. As a first application, we report results for the binding energies of nuclei with mass numbers $A\,$=$\,3$--6 and 16 obtained with selected LO and NLO $2N$ models both by themselves as well as in combination with a LO three-nucleon ($3N$) contact interaction. The latter is characterized by a single low-energy constant that is fixed to reproduce the experimental $^3$H binding energy. The inclusion of the $3N$ interaction largely removes the sensitivity to cutoff variations in the few-nucleon systems and leads to predictions for the $^3$He and $^4$He binding energies that cluster around 7.8 MeV and 30 MeV, respectively. However, in $^{16}$O this cutoff sensitivity remains rather strong. Finally, predictions at LO only are also reported for medium-mass nuclei with $A\,$=$\,40$, 48, and 90.

Parent-centered language intervention : the effectiveness of two programs
Creators: name: Parsons, Carmen Patrice
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Speech-Language Pathologists have long recognized the importance of parental involvement in intervention with young communicatively impaired children. Over the years, a wide variety of parent-centred intervention programs and options have been proven effective with this population (Fey, 1986). Yet it remains unclear which specific variables are important in determining the success of such programs. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact, if any, of individualized support and feedback on the effectiveness of parent-centred language intervention. To answer this question, the families of 8 language-delayed children were enroled in two treatment programs, one which included an individualized component (Group II), and one which did not (Group I). Program efficacy was measured in terms of the progress shown by the children on language variables measured in pre- and post-test assessments. To compare the relative effects of the two treatment approaches, the progress demonstrated by children in Treatment Group I was compared to that shown by children in Group II. Results yielded two major findings. First, the children whose parents received individualized support and feedback (Group II) made greater gains on specific language goals than those whose parents received group instruction alone (Group I). It was concluded that an individualized component to parental training had a measurable positive effect on subsequent language development. Second, this effect was found to be most pronounced for children functioning at early stages of language development (i.e., demonstrating a productive vocabulary of 50 words or less).

description: Heat penetration tests were carried out for a flaked ham product and a 40% bentonite dispersion with initial temperatures of 0°C, -5°C, -10°C, -15°C, and -20°C. The cans were processed at 124.4°C for 75 minutes in a steam retort. Data was analyzed by the general method, Ball's formula method and Stumbo's method. Thermal diffusivity and differential scanning calorimetry measurements were also made of the model food and the bentonite dispersion. From this data, a finite difference model was generated to yield an adequate thermal process time and temperature for meat products exhibiting sub-freezing initial temperatures. Substantial agreement was found between experimental cold spot temperatures within cans and cold spot temperatures calculated with the model.

description: Serverless computing has rapidly grown following the launch of Amazon's Lambda platform. Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) a key enabler of serverless computing allows an application to be decomposed into simple, standalone functions that are executed on a FaaS platform. The FaaS platform is responsible for deploying and facilitating resources to the functions. Several of today's cloud applications spread over heterogeneous connected computing resources and are highly dynamic in their structure and resource requirements. However, FaaS platforms are limited to homogeneous clusters and homogeneous functions and do not account for the data access behavior of functions before scheduling. We introduce an extension of FaaS to heterogeneous clusters and to support heterogeneous functions through a network of distributed heterogeneous target platforms called Function Delivery Network (FDN). A target platform is a combination of a cluster of homogeneous nodes and a FaaS platform on top of it. FDN provides Function-Delivery-as-a-Service (FDaaS), delivering the function to the right target platform. We showcase the opportunities such as varied target platform's characteristics, possibility of collaborative execution between multiple target platforms, and localization of data that the FDN offers in fulfilling two objectives: Service Level Objective (SLO) requirements and energy efficiency when scheduling functions by evaluating over five distributed target platforms using the FDNInspector, a tool developed by us for benchmarking distributed target platforms. Scheduling functions on an edge target platform in our evaluation reduced the overall energy consumption by 17x without violating the SLO requirements in comparison to scheduling on a high-end target platform.

description: Diel variability of heterotrophic bacterial production (BP) was investigated in the eastern South Pacific from October to December 2004. Three sites differing by their trophic status were studied: Marquesas Islands, the center (GYR) and the eastern South Pacific Gyre. By using a Lagrangian approach and high frequency measurements, an important increase (2- to 4-fold) in BP was observed at the 3 sites during the afternoon–sunset period within surface layers. To evaluate the impact of solar UV radiation on this variability, we determined, from in situ optical measurements, the mean UV-B (at 305 nm) and UV-A (at 380 nm) doses received within the mixed layer at a daily scale. At GYR, the doses were as high as 0.3 and 11 kJ m⁻² nm⁻¹ for the whole day, respectively due to high surface irradiances and very low light attenuations in the water column. The UV-B/UV-A tri-hourly dose ratios (Q) displayed substantial variations during the daytime, with highest values recorded during the periods 9:00 to 12:00 h or 12:00 to 15:00 h. The negative linear correlation observed between Q and BP in the surface waters of GYR suggests that changes in the balance between DNA damages and photorepairs (reflected by changes in the Q-ratio) could have a significant influence on the diel variability of BP in open oceans. However, assessing the effects of UV radiation on diel variability of BP through an in situ measurement approach, independently from other causes like availability of resources, is not so evident, even in these clearest waters of the world ocean.

description: ELF97 phosphate (ELF‐P) is a useful compound for assessing the phosphorus‐related status of planktonic aquatic populations. The technique has been successfully applied to phytoplankton and more recently to heterotrophic prokaryotes in both freshwater and marine samples. We have used a recently developed protocol that enables the detection by flow cytometry of ELF alcohol (ELFA), the product of ELF‐P hydrolysis. This protocol allows for identification of the fraction of cells able to express phosphatase activity (i.e., ELFA‐labeled). This protocol is also very valuable in the study of time kinetics in this ELFA‐labeling. The percentage of ELFA‐labeled cells, the relative median ELFA fluorescence per cell, and the absolute ELFA fluorescence were determined in both freshwater (lake) and marine samples. The incubation time necessary to reach a stable percentage of active cells with maximal fluorescence intensity varied widely among samples. We highlight very subtle but important problems of discrimination between active and nonactive cells and of estimation of per‐cell activity and we underline the importance of studying time kinetics of ELFA‐labeling to determine the appropriate incubation time and thus making sample comparisons more relevant. Working on time kinetics of ELFA‐labeling is promising for phosphomonoester hydrolysis rate determination at single cell level.

description: Background: Botulinum neurotoxin therapy (BoNT) is a powerful tool for treating many neurologic disorders. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved maximum onabotulinum toxin A (OnaA) dose is 400 units (U) per visit, but higher doses are commonly necessary, particularly when treating multiple body regions. Methods: We collected demographics, OnaA dose, body regions injected and indications, patient-reported efficacy via 7-point Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGIS), and duration of benefit. Results: Sixty-eight patients were identified receiving OnaA >400 U/session. Dystonia (n = 44) and spasticity (n = 24) were the most common indications for high-dose OnaA. Mean duration of benefit was 9 weeks (standard deviation [SD] 3). More than 70% of patients self-reported “very much improved” or “much improved” at 6 month, 1 year, and last visit. No serious adverse effects were reported. Discussion: The majority of patients tolerated >400 U OnaA with continued benefit. OnaA doses >400 U may be safe and effective in appropriate patients.

description: The role of soft biometrics to enhance person recognition systems in unconstrained scenarios has not been extensively studied. Here, we explore the utility of the following modalities: gender, ethnicity, age, glasses, beard, and moustache. We consider two assumptions: 1) manual estimation of soft biometrics and 2) automatic estimation from two commercial off-the-shelf systems (COTS). All experiments are reported using the labeled faces in the wild (LFW) database. First, we study the discrimination capabilities of soft biometrics standalone. Then, experiments are carried out fusing soft biometrics with two state-of-the-art face recognition systems based on deep learning. We observe that soft biometrics is a valuable complement to the face modality in unconstrained scenarios, with relative improvements up to 40%/15% in the verification performance when using manual/automatic soft biometrics estimation. Results are reproducible as we make public our manual annotations and COTS outputs of soft biometrics over LFW, as well as the face recognition scores.

description: Recent studies show that the inner Galactic regions host genuine bulge globular clusters, but also halo intruders, complex remnants of primordial building blocks, and objects likely accreted during major merging events. In this study we focus on the properties of M 28, a very old and massive cluster currently located in the Galactic bulge. We analysed wide-field infrared photometry collected by the VVV survey, VVV proper motions, and intermediate-resolution spectra in the calcium triplet range for 113 targets in the cluster area. Our results in general confirm previous estimates of the cluster properties available in the literature. We find no evidence of differences in metallicity between cluster stars, setting an upper limit of Delta[Fe/H]<0.08 dex to any internal inhomogeneity. We confirm that M 28 is one of the oldest objects in the Galactic bulge (13-14 Gyr). From this result and the literature data, we find evidence of a weak age-metallicity relation among bulge globular clusters that suggests formation and chemical enrichment. In addition, wide-field density maps show that M 28 is tidally stressed and that it is losing mass into the general bulge field. Our study indicates that M 28 is a genuine bulge globular cluster, but its very old age and its mass loss suggest that this cluster could be the remnant of a larger structure, possibly a primeval bulge building block.

description: The size-luminosity relation of early-type Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs), R_e ~ L^0.88, is steeper than that for the bulk of the early-type galaxy population, for which R_e ~ L^0.68. In addition, although BCGs are hardly offset from the Fundamental Plane defined by the bulk of the early-type population, they show considerably smaller scatter. The larger than expected sizes of BCGs, and the increased homogeneity, are qualitatively consistent with models which seek to explain the colors of the most massive galaxies by invoking dry dissipationless mergers, since dissipation tends to reduce the sizes of galaxies, and wet mergers which result in star formation would tend to increase the scatter in luminosity at fixed size and velocity dispersion. Furthermore, BCGs define the same g-r color-magnitude relation as the bulk of the early-type population. If BCGs formed from dry mergers, then BCG progenitors must have been red for their magnitudes, suggesting that they hosted older stellar populations than typical for their luminosities. Our findings have two other consequences. First, the R_e-L relation of the early-type galaxy population as a whole (i.e., normal plus BCG) exhibits some curvature. Some of this curvature must be a consequence of the fact that an increasing fraction of the most luminous galaxies are BCGs. The second consequence is suggested by the fact that, despite following a steeper size-luminosity relation, BCGs tend to define a tight relation between dynamical mass R_e sigma^2/G and luminosity. As consequence, we find that BCGs define a shallower sigma-L relation than the bulk of the early-type galaxy population.

description: We present measurements of the redshift-space three-point correlation function of 50,967 Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) from Data Release 3 (DR3) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We have studied the shape dependence of the reduced three-point correlation function (Qz(s,q,theta)) on three different scales, s=4, 7 and 10 h-1 Mpc, and over the range of 1 < q < 3 and 0 < theta < 180. On small scales (s=4 h-1 Mpc), Qz is nearly constant, with little change as a function of q and theta. However, there is evidence for a shallow U-shaped behaviour (with theta) which is expected from theoretical modeling of Qz . On larger scales (s=7 and 10 h-1 Mpc), the U-shaped anisotropy in Qz (with theta) is more clearly detected. We compare this shape-dependence in Qz(s,q,theta) with that seen in mock galaxy catalogues which were generated by populating the dark matter halos in large N-body simulations with mock galaxies using various Halo Occupation Distributions (HOD). We find that the combination of the observed number density of LRGs, the (redshift-space) two-point correlation function and Qz provides a strong constraint on the allowed HOD parameters (M_min, M_1, alpha) and breaks key degeneracies between these parameters. For example, our observed Qz disfavors mock catalogues that overpopulate massive dark matter halos with many LRG satellites. We also estimate the linear bias of LRGs to be b=1.87+/-0.07 in excellent agreement with other measurements.

The poetic theory and practice of Huang Tingjian
Creators: name: Du, Liang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Huang Tingjian [Chinese characters omitted] (1045-1105) is one of the most important poets of the Song Dynasty. He is often associated with his contemporary Su Shi [Chinese characters omitted], just as the Tang Dynasty's most important poets Du Fu [Chinese characters omitted] and Li Bai [Chinese characters omitted] are linked. Huang founded the Jiangxi School [Chinese characters omitted] which exerted 150 years of influence upon the creative theory and practice of succeeding generations of poets. Huang is also one of the most controversial poets in Chinese history. His position in poetic history and the controversy surrounding him, make it worthwhile to analyze his poetic theory and practice. This thesis attempts to summarize the main principles of Huang's poetic theory, the main content of his poetry, and the characteristics of his poetic techniques. I begin with a biographical sketch of Huang; it focuses on his political career, and the political affairs which influence his life. Chapter One presents an overview of Huang's poetic theory and the principles of his poetic technique. Therein, I mainly discuss his view of the content of poetry and its political criticism, and also provide a brief discussion of his ideas on poetic style. In discussing his ideas of poetic technique, I examine his method as an organic unit, and then after analyzing principles of his method. Chapter Two is an analysis of Huang's poetic content. Through a survey of Huang's poetry, I explore the chief topics of his poetry. By comparing Huang's general view of poetry with the content he selects, we will ascertain whether or not there is consistency between his poetic theory and practice. Chapter Three is a discussion of Huang's poetic technique. The discussion is dominated by what has been called by many critics Huang's "qi" [Chinese characters omitted] (strangeness). What may be properly understood as the principles of his technique provide the foundation for his outstanding originality. The aspects of this originality that is discussed are basically associated with his method which is explored in Chapter One. Therefore, this chapter can be seen as an examination of Huang's view on poetic technique from the perspective of poetic practice. This chapter concludes with a survey of Huang's poetic style which develops the discussion of style touched upon briefly in Chapter One. The summation of his poetic style is facilitated by the analyses of his poetic content and technique in the previous sections and chapters. The conclusion is a summation of Huang's poetic theory and practice. I summarize the relationship between his poetic theory and practice in general and his major contribution to Chinese classical poetry.
Electrical and Thermal Transport in Metallic Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes on Insulating Substrates

description: We analyze transport in metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on insulating substrates over the bias range up to electrical breakdown in air. To account for Joule self-heating, a temperature-dependent Landauer model for electrical transport is coupled with the heat conduction equation along the nanotube. The electrical breakdown voltage of SWNTs in air is found to scale linearly with their length, approximately as 5 V/um; we use this to deduce a thermal conductance between SWNT and substrate g ~ 0.17 +/- 0.03 W/K/m per tube length, which appears limited by the SWNT-substrate interface rather than the thermal properties of the substrate itself. We examine the phonon scattering mechanisms limiting electron transport, and find the strong temperature dependence of the optical phonon absorption rate to have a remarkable influence on the electrical resistance of micron-length nanotubes. Further analysis reveals that unlike in typical metals, electrons are responsible for less than 15% of the total thermal conductivity of metallic nanotubes around room temperature, and this contribution decreases at high bias or higher temperatures. For interconnect applications of metallic SWNTs, significant self-heating may be avoided if power densities are limited below 5 uW/um, or if the SWNT-surrounding thermal interface is optimized.

description: Telemedicine is the use of electronic communication technology to facilitate healthcare between distant providers and patients. In addition to synchronous video conferencing, asynchronous video transfer has been used to support care for neurology patients. There is a growing literature on using telemedicine in movement disorders, with the most common focus on Parkinson’s disease. There is accumulating evidence for videoconferencing to diagnose and treat patients with hyperkinetic movement disorders and to support providers in remote underserviced areas. Cognitive testing has been shown to be feasible remotely. Genetic counseling and other counseling-based therapeutic interventions have also successfully performed in hyperkinetic movement disorders. We use a problem-based approach to review the current evidence for the use of telemedicine in various hyperkinetic movement disorders. This Viewpoint attempts to identify possible telemedicine solutions as well as discussing unmet needs and future directions.
