description: We consider present constraints on Two Higgs Doublet Models, both from the LHC at Run 1 and from other sources in order to explore the possibility of constraining a neutral scalar or pseudo-scalar particle lighter than the 125 GeV Higgs boson. Such a lighter particle is not yet completely excluded by present data. We show with a simplified analysis that some new constraints could be obtained at the LHC if such a search is performed by the experimental collaborations, which we therefore encourage to continue carrying out light diphoton resonance searches at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV in the context of Two Higgs Doublet Models.

description: Der vorliegende Beitrag versteht sich als Beitrag zur aktuellen Debatte um Chancen und Widerstände der Arbeitspolitik. Dabei wird die Perspektive auf die Arbeitszeitpolitik als wichtigem Element der Arbeitspolitik ausgeweitet. Ein genauerer empirischer Blick auf die arbeitszeitpolitische Praxis in den Betrieben zeigt, dass neue Arbeitszeitregulierungen mit innovativem arbeitspolitischem Gehalt vielfältigen Umsetzungsproblemen in den Betrieben ausgesetzt sind. Die vielleicht wichtigste Voraussetzung für eine gute arbeitszeitpolitische Praxis im Sinne der Erhöhung der Autonomie der Beschäftigten bei der Arbeitszeitgestaltung ist eine Interessenvertretungspolitik der Betriebsräte, die auf die Förderung der Partizipationsmöglichkeiten der Beschäftigten abzielt. Diese Politik einer Ausweitung der industriellen Bürgerrechte kann zugleich die in der Debatte als Gegensatz eingeführten Konzepte der innovativen und der eigenständigen Arbeitspolitik versöhnen.
description: The paper is a contribution to the problem of labour policy currently debated in German industrial sociology. The problem is seen from the angle of working time regulation as an important element of labour policy. Empirical analysis shows that new forms of working time regulation which contain elements of an innovative labour policy are facing severe problems of implementation in the enterprises. It can also be shown that maybe the most important precondition for a good working time practice is the interest policy of the works councils. Innovative labour policy in the sense of an enhancement of working time autonomy of the employees has a good chance of success if the individual participation of the employees is regarded as an autonomous goal of the works councils policy. The policy of extension of industrial citizenship rights at the same time can contribute to the reconciliation of the concepts of innovative and obstinate labour policy currently discussed as antipodes.

description: As part of the CIRCULAR FoodPack project, the polymer composition of flexible packaging waste fractions from sorting sites in three European countries, France, Belgium and Germany, was analysed. This current work was carried out from June 2021 on, as part of Task 3.1, Work Package 3 - Purification and Recycling of Flexible Packaging, and will still be ongoing until the end of the project (November 2024, Month 42). In the course of the project, the characterization will also be extended to flexible packaging waste fractions, which will be sorted using improved sensor-based and tracer-based sorting methods that are being developed and optimized within the project. The aim of these trials is to support the development of these sorting technologies by providing information on the sorted waste streams, and to help in the selection of suitable processes for the recycling of the respective waste fractions.

So far, three polyethylene (PE) rich packaging waste fractions have been investigated, each divided into food and non-food packaging: flexible packaging from France and Belgium, and LDPE-rich films from the German sorting fraction 310. With the help of specific solvents from the CreaSolv® Process developed at the Fraunhofer IVV, the single plastic types within the fractions are consecutively dissolved and a mass balance is calculated.

It has been shown that the non-food packaging has a significantly higher PE content of 80-90% than the food packaging (60-70%). In a European comparison of the overall flexible packaging waste composition the French sorting site had the highest PE share (91%), followed by the German (89%) and the Belgium sorting site (83%). Other polymers present in the fractions could be identified and quantified as Polypropylene (PP), Polyamide (PA) and Polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The enclosed foreign polymers (other than PE), with the main component of PP, may affect recyclability or lead to a reduction in the recyclate quality. Mass balancing was supported by analyses for polymer type and purity of the separated polymer fractions using Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC).

With the results gathered in this study, a database was set up to compile the information on the waste fractions considered in this project. The database will support the development of sorting technologies within the project and help to organize and streamline the recycling of these fractions with suitable recycling methods.

description: Trapped-ion quantum information processing may benefit from qubits encoded in isotopes that are practically available in only small quantities, e.g. due to low natural abundance or radioactivity. Laser ablation provides a method of controllably liberating neutral atoms or ions from low-volume targets, but energetic ablation products can be difficult to confine in the small ion-electrode distance, micron-scale, microfabricated traps amenable to high-speed, high-fidelity manipulation of ion arrays. Here we investigate ablation-based ion loading into surface-electrode traps of different sizes to test a model describing ion loading probability as a function of effective trap volume and other trap parameters. We demonstrate loading of ablated and photoionized barium in two cryogenic surface-electrode traps with 730 $μ$m and 50 $μ$m ion-electrode distances. Our loading success probability agrees with a predictive analytical model, providing insight for the confinement of limited-quantity species of interest for quantum computing, simulation, and sensing.

description: Active Brownian particles (ABPs) represent a minimal model of active matter consisting of self-propelled spheres with purely repulsive interactions and rotational noise. Here, we examine the pressure of ABPs in two dimensions in both closed boxes and systems with periodic boundary conditions and show that its nonmonotonic behavior with density is a robust feature, independent of system size. We correlate the time evolution of the mean pressure towards its steady state value with the kinetics of motility-induced phase separation. For parameter values corresponding to phase separated steady states, we identify two dynamical regimes. The pressure grows monotonically in time during the initial regime of rapid cluster formation, overshooting its steady state value and then quickly relaxing to it, and remains constant during the subsequent slower period of cluster coalescence and coarsening. The overshoot is a distinctive feature of active systems.

description: Based on semi-industrial trials with tracer-based sorting and de-inking of laminated printed PE-based flexible packaging, the CIRCULAR FoodPack project has distilled Design for Recycling guidance for this specific circularity route. This guidance is complimentary to existing guidelines on (printing on) PE flexibles.

The EU-funded project CIRCULAR FoodPack comprises different loops, demonstrating the circular use of plastic packaging material. One of those loops (so-called Loop 3) aims for the circularity of PE-based mono-material food-grade packaging items, running two cycles of packaging production, sorting, and recycling. First, PE-based mono-material laminates and pouches are produced by AMCOR and NESTLE, respectively. During the lamination process, tracers provided by Polysecure are integrated into the food packaging items as part of the printing ink. This artificially produced household flexible packaging waste material is then mixed with the real household waste from Poitiers, France, provided by SUEZ. Tracer-Based-Sorting (TBS), a process developed by Polysecure, serves as the sorting protocol and takes place at the Steinert Technical Center in Pulheim, Cologne, Germany. After TBS, the materials are de-inked/delaminated and recycled into new films, which is evaluated in other deliverables.

In this deliverable, CIRCULAR FoodPack aims to provide a practical guideline to support industry towards the future implementation of new technologies like TBS, de-inking and delamination in accordance with recyclability. Furthermore, it contains some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and key learnings from the trials.

A coset construction for these superspaces is worked out. We put forward a program of constructing a supersymmetric analogue of the Bañados metric, which is expected to be a deformation of the $(p,q)$ AdS superspace geometry by a two-dimensional conformal $(p,q)$ supercurrent multiplet.

description: Introduction: Tsegedea district is found in western Tigray region composed of 123,641 populations and 25 kebelles. The health facility coverage is 100 %( 5) for health centers and 93 %( 23) for health posts. Measles is an acute, highly contagious viral disease caused by measles virus.. As more countries immunize more children, measles deaths have been reduced by 71 per cent—from an estimated 548,000 in 2000 to 158,000 in 2011.However, according to the official report, an outbreak of measles is occurring throughout the regions of Ethiopia. Among these regions, Tigray region has reported 6 outbreaks of measles from, 2011-2013. We received 4 clinically suspected measles cases from 2 kebelles of the district from 6-10/2/2014. We investigated this cluster to confirm its etiology, describe its magnitude, identify potential risk factors and make recommendations. Methods: We investigated measles outbreak from 6-24/2/2014 in Tsegedea district by a casecontrol study. We recruited 20cases and 40controls by simple random sampling having a structured questionnaire. We entered the data to Epi-Info, version 7.6.1 and exported to SPSS, version 16 for analysis. We have computed the BMI, overcrowdings, vaccine efficacy (1-OR)*100 and herd immunity (from 2012-2014). Results: we detected a prevalence of 0.23/1000(29) with 100 %( 7) IgM positive in Tsegede district. It was higher in males 51.8 %( 15) than females 48.2 %( 14).The median age was 9years (8month-30years) with ASAR of 0.277/1000(1) for <1 years and 0.22/1000(15) in >=15 years age. Majority of the cases were in Alemgenet Kebelle( 2.19/1000(10)) compared to the other 6 kebelles that ranges 0.1/1000-1.1/1000.We computed a herd immunity of 73.1% and a vaccine efficacy of 94.1% for one dose vaccinated Vs non-vaccinated .55% of the cases enrolled to the study were underweight .The vaccination of 1 dose and >=2 dose were a protective factor for developing measles infection(i.e for 1 dose, AOR =0.059,95%CI(0.008-0.44), P-value=0.0060 ,for >=2,AOR=.061,95%CI(0.004-0.9) ,P-value=0.045). Overcrowding was also highly associated with the occurrence of measles outbreak (AOR= 8.42, 95%CI (1.76-40.1), P-value= 0.007). 2 Conclusion: compared to the national measles vaccination policy, the herd immunity was low with higher vaccine efficacy. The vaccination status and overcrowding had a strong relationship with measles infection separately. The measles outbreak was a propagative that lied majority of the cases in >= 15 years age and specific areas of the district. So, that, a selective vaccination campaign, improvements on housing condition and nutritional status of the community should be implemented.

description: Background: Students of higher educational institution are at higher risk of substance abuse. Currently, substance abuse is one of the most burning public health problems in Ethiopia. Again, the increasing rate of university students who take drugs, the scarcity of rehabilitation and treatment program on substance abuse threatens the present and future image of Ethiopia. Although it has been known that this public health problem is a pressing issue, the real extent and magnitude of the drug abuse is not yet properly explored. Only little research is done so far. Objective: This study aims at assessing the magnitude of Mekelle University students' practice of psychoactive substance abuse and their intention to stop. Methodology: Across sectional study design using mixed research method was employed (Quantitative, qualitative) during April 2011. After stratifying for batch and sex, simple random sampling (lottery) was used to select 662 students. Snowball sampling technique also was conducted. Data were gathered by annonymous self administer questionnaire. EPI Info version 3.5.1 and SPSS version 16.0 were used for cleaning and analysis. Binary and multiple logistic regressions were used to describe and associate the relevant variables. OpenCode 3.6 was used to manage qualitative data. Finally; thematic analysis was used to analize the data. CAGE-AID was used to measure substance abuse. Result: The response rate was 90.8%. Most 68% of the respondents were male. The magnitute of substance abuse was [95%CI: 20.1 (17.07, 23.48)]. The commonly abused substances were alcohol [95%CI: 16.6 (13.82, 19.78)] followed by khat 14.8(12.14-17.82) and cigarette and cannabis each were abused [95%CI: 8.8 (6.743, 11.29)]. It has also been identified that substances abuse in males [AOR, 95% CI; 2.214 (1.071, 4.575)] were two times higher than female respondents. In addition, those who started to abuse substance through peer pressure [AOR, 95% CI 14.931 (6.824, 32.668)] were 15 times more likely to abuse substances as compared to those who did not. In contrast, the study showed that students from Law and Governance [AOR, 95% CI .127 (.048, .335)] was less likely to abuse substances. Furthermore, proportion of intention to stop among abusers was 49.6%. Conclusion and Recommendation: From this finding, it is possible to conclude that, substance abuse is an urgent problem among undergraduate university students; however, their intention to stop is high. Sex, religion, field of study, reason to start and initiation time are statistically significant factors. Generally, from this study suggests that further work is urgently needed; to design suitable policies, culturally and psychologically appropriate intervention packages.

description: Background: HIV and syphilis contact tracing networks offer efficient platforms for HIV treatment and prevention interventions, but intervention coverage within these networks has not been characterized. Setting: HIV and syphilis sexual contact tracing networks among men who have sex with men (MSM) in North Carolina (NC). Methods: Using surveillance data, we identified 2 types of "network events" that occurred between January 2013 and June 2017 among MSM in NC: being diagnosed with early syphilis or being named as a recent sexual contact of a person diagnosed with HIV or early syphilis. We estimated prevalent and incident HIV viral suppression among persons diagnosed with HIV before the network event, and we assessed the effect of contact tracing services on a 6-month cumulative incidence of viral suppression among previously HIV-diagnosed, virally unsuppressed persons. Using linked prescription claims data, we also evaluated prevalent and incident pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use in an insured subset of HIV-negative network members. Results: Viral suppression prevalence among previously HIV-diagnosed persons was 52.6%. The 6-month cumulative incidence of viral suppression was 35.4% overall and 13.1 (95% confidence interval: 8.8 to 17.4) percentage points higher among persons reached than among those not reached by contact tracing services. Few HIV-negative persons had prevalent (5.4%) or incident (4.1%) PrEP use in the 6 months before or after network events, respectively. Conclusions: Suboptimal viral suppression and PrEP use among MSM in NC in HIV/syphilis contact tracing networks indicate a need for intensified intervention efforts. In particular, expanded services for previously HIV-diagnosed persons could improve viral suppression and reduce HIV transmission within these networks.

description: In this paper we use the planar circular restricted three-body problem where one of the primary bodies is an oblate spheroid or an emitter of radiation in order to determine the basins of attraction associated with the equilibrium points. The evolution of the position of the five Lagrange points is monitored when the values of the mass ratio $μ$, the oblateness coefficient $A_1$, and the radiation pressure factor $q$ vary in predefined intervals. The regions on the configuration $(x,y)$ plane occupied by the basins of attraction are revealed using the multivariate version of the Newton-Raphson method. The correlations between the basins of convergence of the equilibrium points and the corresponding number of iterations needed in order to obtain the desired accuracy are also illustrated. We conduct a thorough and systematic numerical investigation demonstrating how the dynamical quantities $μ$, $A_1$, and $q$ influence the basins of attractions. Our results suggest that the mass ratio and the radiation pressure factor are the most influential parameters, while on the other hand the structure of the basins of convergence are much less affected by the oblateness coefficient.

description: Super Earths are the largest population of exoplanets and are seen to exhibit a rich diversity of compositions as inferred through their mean densities. Here we present a model that combines equilibrium chemistry in evolving disks with core accretion that tracks materials accreted onto planets during their formation. In doing so, we aim to explain why super Earths form so frequently and how they acquire such a diverse range of compositions. A key feature of our model is disk inhomogeneities, or planet traps, that act as barriers to rapid type-I migration. The traps we include are the dead zone, which can be caused by either cosmic ray or X-ray ionization, the ice line, and the heat transition. We find that in disks with sufficiently long lifetimes ($\gtrsim$ 4 Myr), all traps produce Jovian planets. In these disks, planet formation in the heat transition and X-ray dead zone produces hot Jupiters while the ice line and cosmic ray dead zones produce Jupiters at roughly 1 AU. Super Earth formation takes place within short-lived disks ($\lesssim$ 2 Myr), whereby the disks are photoevaporated while planets are in a slow phase of gas accretion. We find that super Earth compositions range from dry and rocky ($$ 30 % ice by mass). The traps play a crucial role in our results, as they dictate where in the disk particular planets can accrete from, and what compositions they are able to acquire.

description: Tidal disruption events (TDEs) of stars operated by massive black holes (MBHs) will be detected in thousands by upcoming facilities such as the Vera Rubin Observatory. In this work, we assess the rates of standard total TDEs, destroying the entire star, and partial TDEs, in which a stellar remnant survives the interaction, by solving 1-D Fokker-Planck equations. Our rate estimates are based on a novel definition of the loss cone whose size is commensurate to the largest radius at which partial disruptions can occur, as motivated by relativistic hydrodynamical simulations. Our novel approach unveils two important results. First, partial TDEs can be more abundant than total disruptions by a factor of a few to a few tens. Second, the rates of complete stellar disruptions can be overestimated by a factor of a few to a few tens if one neglects partial TDEs, as we find that many of the events classified at total disruptions in the standard framework are in fact partial TDEs. Accounting for partial TDEs is particularly relevant for galaxies harbouring a nuclear stellar cluster featuring many events coming from the empty loss cone. Based on these findings, we stress that partial disruptions should be considered when constraining the luminosity function of TDE flares; accounting for this may reconcile the theoretically estimated TDE rates with the observed ones.

Assessment of Sexual Behavior related to HIV/AIDS in a community practicing widow inheritance in Digalu Tijo, Arsi zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Aschenaki, Alemneh
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2006

description: Background: - Cultural institutions and practices disadvantaged people to be at risk of HIV infection or help them to prevent from the risk. Some of the cultural practices that expose people to the high risk of HIV infection include polygamy and widow inheritance. Objectives: - This study is aimed at determining KAP of HIV/AIDS, magnitude, and community attitude towards widow inheritance and its perceived risk for HIV transmission. Method: - A community based cross- sectional study was carried out during January - February 2006 among the rural communities in Digalu Tijo woreda of Arsi zone Oromia. A total of 768 households were involved in the study by using systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected using an interviewer administered Oromiffa version structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS for windows version 11.0. Results: -The mean HIV/AIDS knowledge and attitude were 39.4 ±13.3&77.4 ±12.75, respectively. HIV/AIDS attitude of the respondents increases as their HIV/AIDS knowledge increases. Faithfulness and abstinence were the main prevention methods most practiced. Among the respondents, only 51(6.6%) households were involved in wife inheritance. In other words, 102 individuals engaged in widow inheritance practice. For the respondents asked about whether they support widow inheritance or not, 672(87.5%) and 96(12.5%) not support and support widow inheritance respectively. For the issue rose on whether the widow inheritance contributes on HIV/AIDS transmission or not 688(89.4%) of them agreed and 80(10.4%) did not agreed. About the vii majority (72.0%) pointed out that no problem would be occurring if widow inheritance were abounded. Conclusion and Recommendations: - This study demonstrated low level of knowledge and practice but relatively high attitude towards HIV/AIDS. The magnitude of widow inheritance is significant. But widow inheritance is not supported and its risk is also well perceived. Accordingly awareness creation on risk reduction activities was recommended.

Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, εξετάζονται οι συνθήκες και τα πολιτικά συμφραζόμενα, κάτω από τα οποία τα κείμενα αυτά συνετάγησαν, τα κίνητρα των συντακτών τους, οι συνέπειες της εφαρμογής τους και φυσικά η αντίδραση του τελικού τους αποδέκτη, δηλαδή της Ρώμης, στην οποία και ανατίθεται -σε περιπτώσεις που η ίδια δεν αποτελεί τον τελικό κληρονόμο- και ο ρόλος του εγγυητή της διαδοχής των βασιλέων. Η διάρθρωση της εργασίας ακολουθεί το χρονολογικό κριτήριο· προηγούνται οι διαθήκες των Πτολεμαίου Η΄ Ευεργέτη Β΄ «Φύσκωνος» (155 π.Χ.), Αττάλου Γ΄ της Περγάμου (133 π.Χ.), Πτολεμαίου Απίωνος (96 π.Χ.), Πτολεμαίου Ι΄ Αλεξάνδρου Α΄ (88 π.Χ.) και Νικομήδη Δ΄ της Βιθυνίας (74 π.Χ.), με τις οποίες η Ρώμη καθίσταται ο βασικός κληρονόμος των βασιλέων, ενώ ακολουθούν εκείνες των Πτολεμαίου Δ΄ Φιλοπάτορος (204 π.Χ.) και του Πτολεμαίου ΙΒ΄ Νέου Διονύσου «Αυλητή» (51 π.Χ.), όπου η Ρώμη κατονομάζεται ως εγγυητής της διαδοχής τους. Σε ειδικό παράρτημα παρουσιάζεται η διαθήκη του Ηρώδη Α΄ «Μεγάλου» της Ιουδαίας (4 π.Χ.), η σύνταξη της οποίας παραχωρήθηκε ως «προνόμιο» στον βασιλέα από τον Αύγουστο
description: The aim of this thesis is to study the wills of the Hellenistic rulers, with which the fate of their empire was regulated. In this context, it examines the conditions and political contexts in which these texts were produced, the motivations of their authors, the consequences of their implementation and, of course, the reaction of their final recipient, Rome, which was assigned - in cases where it was not itself the final heir - the role of guarantor of the succession. The organization of the work follows the chronological criterion; it includes the wills of Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II "Physcon" (155 BC), Attalus III of Pergamum (133 BC), Ptolemy Apion (96 BC), Ptolemy X Alexander I (88 BC) and Nicomedes IV of Bithynia (74 B.C.), by which Rome becomes the chief heir of kings, and those of Ptolemy IV Philopator (204 B.C.) and Ptolemy XII Neos Dionysos "Auletes" (51 BC), by which Rome became the guarantor of their succession. The will of Herod I the "Great" of Judea (4 BC) is presented in an appendix: the king had received the right to write it as a privilege from Augustus

description: Pixel Array Detectors (PADs) consist of an x-ray sensor layer bonded pixel-by-pixel to an underlying readout chip. This approach allows both the sensor and the custom pixel electronics to be tailored independently to best match the x-ray imaging requirements. Here we present characterizations of CdTe sensors hybridized with two different charge-integrating readout chips, the Keck PAD and the Mixed-Mode PAD (MM-PAD), both developed previously in our laboratory. The charge-integrating architecture of each of these PADs extends the instantaneous counting rate by many orders of magnitude beyond that obtainable with photon counting architectures. The Keck PAD chip consists of rapid, 8-frame, in-pixel storage elements with framing periods $

description: Background: It has been suggested that cardiovascular risks are increased in breast cancer survivors, but few studies have quantified the risks of a range of specific clinically important cardiovascular outcomes in detail. Patients and Methods: Women aged >65 years with incident breast cancer from 2004 to 2013 in the SEER-Medicare linked database were matched with 5 cancer-free female counterparts (5:1 ratio). Prevalence of specific cardiovascular outcomes at baseline was measured, then Cox regression was used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals for the risk of individual cardiovascular outcomes during follow-up. Modification of the effect was investigated by time since diagnosis, race/ethnicity, prior cardiovascular disease (CVD), and age. Results: In all, 91,473 women with breast cancer and 454,197 without breast cancer were included. Women with breast cancer had lower baseline prevalence of all CVDs. Compared with cancer-free controls, breast cancer survivors had substantially increased risks of deep vein thrombosis (adjusted HR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.62-1.73; 386,484 person-years of follow-up) and pericarditis (HR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.38-1.49; 390,776 person-years of follow-up); evidence of smaller increased risks of sudden cardiac arrest, arrhythmia, heart failure, and valvular heart disease (adjusted HRs ranging from 1.05-1.09, lower CI limits all ≥1); and evidence of lower risk of incident angina, myocardial infarction, revascularization, peripheral vascular disease, and stroke (adjusted HRs ranging from 0.89-0.98, upper CI limits all ≤1). Increased risks of arrhythmia, heart failure, pericarditis, and deep vein thrombosis persisted >5 years after cancer diagnosis. Conclusions: Women with a history of breast cancer were at increased risk of several CVDs, persisting into survivorship. Monitoring and managing cardiovascular risk throughout the long-term follow-up of women diagnosed with breast cancer should be a priority.

description: It is shown that, in the presence of a magnetic field, a quantized vortex line in a superfluid liquid acquires a linear polarization charge, which is localized near the vortex axis over a length on the order of the coherence length. It is found that the total charge of a rectilinear vortex is nonzero, while the vortex pair and vortex ring have a nonzero dipole moment. The electric fields of rectilinear vortices near the end surface of a cylindrical vessel filled with a superfluid liquid are calculated. The electric polarization of superfluid systems in the presence of thermally activated vortex pairs and vortex rings has been studied. It is shown that such a polarization arises in the presence of relative motion of the normal and superfluid components.

description: Environmental audio tagging aims to predict only the presence or absence of certain acoustic events in the interested acoustic scene. In this paper we make contributions to audio tagging in two parts, respectively, acoustic modeling and feature learning. We propose to use a shrinking deep neural network (DNN) framework incorporating unsupervised feature learning to handle the multi-label classification task. For the acoustic modeling, a large set of contextual frames of the chunk are fed into the DNN to perform a multi-label classification for the expected tags, considering that only chunk (or utterance) level rather than frame-level labels are available. Dropout and background noise aware training are also adopted to improve the generalization capability of the DNNs. For the unsupervised feature learning, we propose to use a symmetric or asymmetric deep de-noising auto-encoder (sDAE or aDAE) to generate new data-driven features from the Mel-Filter Banks (MFBs) features. The new features, which are smoothed against background noise and more compact with contextual information, can further improve the performance of the DNN baseline. Compared with the standard Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) baseline of the DCASE 2016 audio tagging challenge, our proposed method obtains a significant equal error rate (EER) reduction from 0.21 to 0.13 on the development set. The proposed aDAE system can get a relative 6.7% EER reduction compared with the strong DNN baseline on the development set. Finally, the results also show that our approach obtains the state-of-the-art performance with 0.15 EER on the evaluation set of the DCASE 2016 audio tagging task while EER of the first prize of this challenge is 0.17.
