description: Three of the many variables affecting decision making in postsecondary education were identified and analyzed. The significant differences in decision making paradigms used by chief administrative officers in terms of the three variables--type of decision, influences on decision making, and use of institutional research services--was the focus of this study. This study addressed three questions: (1) Do decision makers use different decision paradigms as described by Schmidtlein for Type I (SITUATION I) and Type II (SITUATION II) decisions? (2) Do responses to environmental conditions affecting a decision differ from responses to value orientations for the same decisions? (3) Do decision makers who have contact with institutional research services use the same decision making paradigms as those who do not?; These questions were analyzed using a 2-way ANOVA in two models at .05 level of significance. The first addressed questions 1 and 2, and the second addressed question 3. A mail questionnaire that included semantic differentials to generate data in reaction to two types of decision making situations was sent to 130 chief administrative officers in member postsecondary institutions in the Middle States Association. Sixty people returned their questionnaires. Analysis of the data showed that there was no overall difference between the responses to the two types of decisions. However, there was a significant difference between the decisions for those who reacted to environmental conditions when the simple effects test was used to locate a significant interaction effect. There was a significant overall difference between the responses to environmental conditions for the two decision making situations and the responses to value orientations to the same situations. That this difference was significant for Situation II only was also revealed by the simple effects test. No significant difference was found in the decision making paradigms of respondents who use institutional research services and those who do not. In the second model, where environmental conditions and value orientations were combined, a significant difference between paradigms used for Situations I and II was found.

description: Back-translation provides a simple yet effective approach to exploit monolingual corpora in Neural Machine Translation (NMT). Its iterative variant, where two opposite NMT models are jointly trained by alternately using a synthetic parallel corpus generated by the reverse model, plays a central role in unsupervised machine translation. In order to start producing sound translations and provide a meaningful training signal to each other, existing approaches rely on either a separate machine translation system to warm up the iterative procedure, or some form of pre-training to initialize the weights of the model. In this paper, we analyze the role that such initialization plays in iterative back-translation. Is the behavior of the final system heavily dependent on it? Or does iterative back-translation converge to a similar solution given any reasonable initialization? Through a series of empirical experiments over a diverse set of warmup systems, we show that, although the quality of the initial system does affect final performance, its effect is relatively small, as iterative back-translation has a strong tendency to convergence to a similar solution. As such, the margin of improvement left for the initialization method is narrow, suggesting that future research should focus more on improving the iterative mechanism itself.

description: By imposing the constraints of charge symmetry we show that the strangeness magnetic moment of the nucleon can be expressed in terms of empirical magnetic moments and ratios of valence quark magnetic moments. The latter are determined using modern chiral extrapolation techniques and recent low mass lattice QCD simulations of the individual quark contributions to the magnetic moments of the nucleon octet. The result is a precise determination of G_M^s, namely -0.043 +/- 0.026 mu_N, which is consistent with the latest experimental measurements.

CATEGORY SCALES: ASSESSMENT OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF POSITIONS AND WORD MEANINGS TO PERCEPTUAL SCALE VALUES

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In five interconnected experiments, each of seven subjects assessed the perceptual magnitudes of electrocutaneous shocks and three sets of verbal descriptors for those shocks. The verbal descriptor sets were: (a) the integers 1-7; (b) the words faint, weak, mild, moderate, strong, intense, and severe (WordsI), and (c) the words faint, very weak, weak, mild, moderate, strong, and intense (WordsII). Shocks ranged between detection threshold and tolerance. In experiments 1-3, subjects estimated the disparity between shocks and descriptors. Conjoint measurement analysis of those estimates produced independent perceptual scales for shock intensities and descriptors. Each subject used essentially the same shock scale in all three experiments--perceived shock intensity grew roughly with current. That comparison permitted comparison of scales for descriptors. The integers 1-7 had roughly uniform perceptual spacing for all subjects, whereas the words did not. The six words common to the WordsI and WordsII lists had roughly the same spacing in both lists. In Experiment 4, subjects located the verbal descriptors on a horizontal line connecting the phrases "no sensation" and "sensation as intense as you can imagine." In Experiment 5, subjects magnitude-estimated the shock intensities singly. Scales for descriptors from Experiment 4 did not match those found in Experiments 1-3. Average magnitude estimates of single shock intensities grew more rapidly with current than did the perceptual scale values for the shock found in Experiments 1-3. The major conclusions are: (a) subjects can judge differences between stimuli from distinct modalities; (b) intermodal difference judgments, like intramodal difference judgments, produce shallower psychophysical functions than do magnitude estimates; (c) subjects using categorical judgment scales are sensitive to the categories' identities rather than simply to their numerousness and ordering; (d) change in the categories' identities does not alter the scale of sensory stimuli being categorized; (e) subjects instructed to use the integers 1-7 to equisection their perceptual ranges do obey their instructions; and (f) spacings between descriptors on a category scale can remain stable even with change of other descriptors on the list.

description: Particle filters are used in heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems to protect equipment and reduce exposure to airborne particles. Filtration standards such as ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 52.2 are used to evaluate filter performance in a laboratory setting. In this work, we examined the lab-tested performance of new filters with different nominal efficiencies as determined by ASHRAE Standard 52.2 and compared these results to the lab-tested and in-situ performance of filters deployed in 21 occupied residential environments. The lab-tested results comparison shows that the dust loading and conditioning procedure in ASHRAE Standard 52.2 provides a reasonable range of efficiencies for the used filters, but the target final pressure drop of 250 Pa is an overestimation of the realistic pressure drops. Moreover, the specified test dust was not a good representation of the dust in this sample of residential environments. The lab-tested and in-situ results comparison suggests that even for the same filter, its lab-tested performance could differ greatly from its in-situ performance because of variations in system and loading conditions, which are not captured in the laboratory setting. Overall, the lab-tested results are an overestimation of the in-situ efficiency and an underestimation of the in-situ pressure drop for both new and used filters.
Fast Kernel Error Propagation Analysis in Virtualized Environments

description: Assessing operating system dependability remains a challenging problem, particularly in monolithic systems. Component interfaces are not well-defined and boundaries are not enforced at runtime. This allows faults in individual components to arbitrarily affect other parts of the system. Software fault injection (SFI) can be used to experimentally assess the resilience of such systems in the presence of faulty components. However, applying SFI to complex, monolithic operating systems poses challenges due to long test latencies and the difficulty of detecting corruptions in the internal state of the operating system. In this paper, we present a novel approach that leverages static and dynamic analysis alongside modern operating system and virtual machine features to reduce SFI test latencies for operating system kernel components while enabling efficient and accurate detection of internal state corruptions. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach by applying it to multiple widely used Linux file systems.

description: The race for deploying AI-enabled autonomous vehicles (AVs) on public roads is based on the promise that such self-driving cars will be as safe as or safer than human drivers. Numerous techniques have been proposed to test AVs, which however lack oracle definitions that account for the quality of driving, due to the lack of a commonly used set of metrics. Towards filling this gap, we first performed a systematic analysis of the literature concerning the assessment of the quality of driving of human drivers and extracted 126 metrics. Then, we measured the correlation between such metrics and the human perception of driving quality when AVs are driving. Lastly, we performed a study based on mutation analysis to assess whether the 26 metrics that best capture the quality of AV driving according to the human study can be used as functional oracles. Our results, targeting the Udacity platform, indicate that our automated oracles can kill a high proportion of mutants at a zero or very low false alarm rate, and therefore can be used as effective functional oracles for the quality of driving of AVs.

description: Using the framework of the quantum separation of variables (SoV) for higher rank quantum integrable lattice models [1], we introduce some foundations to go beyond the obtained complete transfer matrix spectrum description, and open the way to the computation of matrix elements of local operators. This first amounts to obtain simple expressions for scalar products of the so-called separate states (transfer matrix eigenstates or some simple generalization of them). In the higher rank case, left and right SoV bases are expected to be pseudo-orthogonal, that is for a given SoV co-vector, there could be more than one non-vanishing overlap with the vectors of the chosen right SoV basis. For simplicity, we describe our method to get these pseudo-orthogonality overlaps in the fundamental representations of the $\mathcal{Y}(gl_3)$ lattice model with $N$ sites, a case of rank 2. The non-zero couplings between the co-vector and vector SoV bases are exactly characterized. While the corresponding SoV-measure stays reasonably simple and of possible practical use, we address the problem of constructing left and right SoV bases which do satisfy standard orthogonality. In our approach, the SoV bases are constructed by using families of conserved charges. This gives us a large freedom in the SoV bases construction, and allows us to look for the choice of a family of conserved charges which leads to orthogonal co-vector/vector SoV bases. We first define such a choice in the case of twist matrices having simple spectrum and zero determinant. Then, we generalize the associated family of conserved charges and orthogonal SoV bases to generic simple spectrum and invertible twist matrices. Under this choice of conserved charges, and of the associated orthogonal SoV bases, the scalar products of separate states simplify considerably and take a form similar to the $\mathcal{Y}(gl_2)$ rank one case.

description: Cyber technologies are offering new horizons for quality control in manufacturing and safety assurance in-service of physical assets. The line between non-destructive evaluation (NDE) and Industry 4.0 is getting blurred since both are sensory data-driven domains. This multidisciplinary approach has led to the emergence of a new capability: NDE 4.0. The NDT community is coming together once again to define the purpose, chart the process, and address the adoption of emerging technologies. In this paper, the authors have taken a design thinking approach to spotlight proper objectives for research on this subject. It begins with qualitative research on twenty different perceptions of stakeholders and misconceptions around the current state of NDE. The interpretation is used to define ten value propositions or use cases under "NDE for Industry 4.0" and "Industry 4.0 for NDE" leading up to the clarity of purpose for NDE 4.0, enhanced safety and economic value for stakeholders. To pursue this worthy cause, the paper delves into some of the top adoption challenges, and proposes a journey of managed innovation, conscious skills development, and a new form of leadership required to succeed in the cyber-physical world.

description: The purpose of this study was to explore the reactions of beginning psychotherapists to the premature and abrupt termination of a client from psychotherapy. The self-esteem levels of the subjects were examined in relation to their tendency to make internal or external attributions of causality for the termination of their clients. The concept of attribution was considered particularly applicable because attributional inferences are typically made following events which like premature termination are unexpected and characterized by a perception of failure. Self-esteem literature suggests that the differing defensive styles of high and low self-esteem individuals are related to attributional tendency following a failure situation. The operative hypothesis was that the subject's attribution of causality, that is, whether the subjects viewed the termination as having to do with factors internal or external to himself as therapist would be related to the subject's level of self-esteem. Since self-esteem literature posits two types of high self-esteem, a second hypothesis was that a relationship would exist between defensive high self-esteem, genuine high self-esteem and low self-esteem, and the therapist's direction of attribution. The 20 subjects were graduate students in doctoral and masters level programs in clinical and counseling psychology. The self-esteem and defensiveness measures were derived from the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale. The attributional data was derived from a semistructured interview which ascertained to what extent the therapist perceived the premature termination of the client as being related to internal, personal characteristics. The responses were rated on a one to five continuum of internal to external attribution of causality. The Fisher Exact Probability Scale was applied to the first hypothesis. Although subjects with low levels of self-esteem tended to be more internal in their attributions than subjects with high levels of self-esteem, the results failed to achieve significance. Chi-Squares were calculated between each of the three variables of the study taken two at a time. The results showed no relationship between attribution and self-esteem, attribution and defensiveness, or self-esteem and defensiveness.

description: Glomerulosclerosis, interstitial fibrosis, and tubular atrophy (IFTA) are histologic indicators of irrecoverable kidney injury. In standard clinical practice, the renal pathologist visually assesses, under the microscope, the percentage of sclerotic glomeruli and the percentage of renal cortical involvement by IFTA. Estimation of IFTA is a subjective process due to a varied spectrum and definition of morphological manifestations. Modern artificial intelligence and computer vision algorithms have the ability to reduce inter-observer variability through rigorous quantitation. In this work, we apply convolutional neural networks for the segmentation of glomerulosclerosis and IFTA in periodic acid-Schiff stained renal biopsies. The convolutional network approach achieves high performance in intra-institutional holdout data, and achieves moderate performance in inter-intuitional holdout data, which the network had never seen in training. The convolutional approach demonstrated interesting properties, such as learning to predict regions better than the provided ground truth as well as developing its own conceptualization of segmental sclerosis. Subsequent estimations of IFTA and glomerulosclerosis percentages showed high correlation with ground truth.

Analyzing and generating multimode optical fields using self-configuring networks

Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

description: Working with finite numbers of modes to describe, generate and detect optical fields can be both mathematically economical and physically useful. Such a modal basis can map directly to various applications in communications, sensing and processing. But, we need a way to generate and analyze such fields, including measurement and control of both the relative amplitudes and phases of the modal components. Here, we show first how to measure all those relative amplitudes and phases automatically and simultaneously. The method uses a self-configuring network of 2x2 blocks, such as integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometers, that can automatically align itself to the optical field by a sequence of simple one-parameter power minimizations when network elements, such as phase shifters, are adjusted. The optical field is then directly deduced from the resulting settings of those elements. We show how the entire network can be calibrated for such measurements, automatically and with just two light beams. Then, using the same calibration and running the mesh backwards, we can also controllably generate an arbitrary multimode field. Explicit algorithms and formulas are given for operating this system.
An Empirical Study of Flaky Tests in Python

Empirical Study

description: Tests that cause spurious failures without any code
 changes, i.e., flaky tests, hamper regression testing, increase
 maintenance costs, may shadow real bugs, and decrease trust
 in tests. While the prevalence and importance of flakiness is
 well established, prior research focused on Java projects, thus
 raising the question of how the findings generalize. In order to
 provide a better understanding of the role of flakiness in software
 development beyond Java, we empirically study the prevalence,
 causes, and degree of flakiness within software written in Python,
 one of the currently most popular programming languages. For
 this, we sampled 22 352 open source projects from the popular
 PyPI package index, and analyzed their 876 186 test cases for
 flakiness. Our investigation suggests that flakiness is equally
 prevalent in Python as it is in Java. The reasons, however, are
 different: Order dependency is a much more dominant problem
 in Python, causing 59% of the 7 571 flaky tests in our dataset.
 Another 28%were caused by test infrastructure problems, which
 represent a previously undocumented cause of flakiness. The
 remaining 13% can mostly be attributed to the use of network
 and randomness APIs by the projects, which is indicative of the
 type of software commonly written in Python. Our data also
 suggests that finding flaky tests requires more runs than are
 often done in the literature: A 95% confidence that a passing
 test case is not flaky on average would require 170 reruns.
THE EMERGING SYSTEMS PARADIGM: AN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

description: As part of humanity's inexorable quest for knowledge, modern science has significantly enhanced people's ability to understand and deal with their increasingly complex world through its development of sophisticated means for producing empirically-verifiable information about reality. Scholarly enquiry proceeds in the context of prevailing paradigms or world-views that define the legitimate problems and methods of investigation, with progress coming through what Thomas Kuhn calls "paradigm shifts" or scientific revolutions. In the years since World War II there have been indications of just such a shift from what Russell Ackoff calls "Machine Age" enquiry to "Systems Age" enquiry as the effects of the Information Revolution become more apparent. A study was made of the historical development and essential characteristics of this emerging systems paradigm as a unified metadisciplinary approach for addressing complexity. Special emphasis was placed on examining its major epistemological, metaphysical, and methodological insights and evaluating its relevance and value to scholarly enquiry.

description: We study the properties of the free energy of infinitely heavy quark anti-quark pair in SU(2) gauge theory. By means of lattice Monte Carlo simulations we calculated the free energies in the singlet, triplet and color averaged channels, both in the confinement and in the deconfinement phase. The singlet and triplet free energies are defined in Coulomb gauge which is equivalent to their gauge invariant definitions recently introduced by Philipsen. We analyzed the short and the long distance behavior, making comparisons with the zero temperature case. The temperature dependence of the electric screening mass is carefully investigated. The order of the deconfining transition is manifest in the results near T_c and it allows a reliable test of a recently proposed method to renormalize the Polyakov loop.

description: Based on a detailed microscopic test scenario motivated by recent empirical studies of single-vehicle data, several cellular automaton models for traffic flow are compared. We find three levels of agreement with the empirical data: 1) models that do not reproduce even qualitatively the most important empirical observations, 2) models that are on a macroscopic level in reasonable agreement with the empirics, and 3) models that reproduce the empirical data on a microscopic level as well. Our results are not only relevant for applications, but also shed new light on the relevant interactions in traffic flow.

description: It is shown that, in the relativistic hydrogenic approximation, expectation values of the type $\langle n\ell j|r^k|n\ell j\rangle$ can be expressed in terms of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients or $3jm$ symbols. This generalizes the results obtained by Varshalovich and Karpova [Opt. Spectrosc. 118, 1-5 (2015); Opt. Spektrosk. 118, 3-7] in the non-relativistic hydrogenic case.

The spectrum of quantum black holes and quasinormal modes

description: The spectrum of multiple level transitions of the quantum black hole is considered, and the line widths calculated. Initial evidence is found for these higher order transitions in the spectrum of quasinormal modes for Schwarzschild and Kerr black holes, further bolstering the idea that there exists a correspondence principle between quantum transitions and classical ``ringing modes''. Several puzzles are noted, including a fine-tuning problem between the line width and the level degeneracy. A more general explanation is provided for why setting the Immirzi parameter of loop quantum gravity from the black hole spectrum necessarily gives the correct value for the black hole entropy.

description: We provide an overview of recent work exploring the quark-mass dependence of hadronic observables and the associated role of chiral nonanalytic behavior due to the meson-cloud of hadrons. In particular, we address an issue of great current interest, namely the degree of model independence of results obtained through a controlled extrapolation of lattice QCD simulation results. Physical insights gained from this research are highlighted. We emphasize how chiral effective field theory formulated with a finite-range regulator provides a reliable and model-independent extrapolation to the physical world.

Excitation Pathways in Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering of Solids

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: We present a novel derivation of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) which yields an expression for the RIXS cross section in terms of emission pathways between intermediate and final many-body states. Thereby electron-hole interactions are accounted for, as obtained from full diagonalization of the Bethe-Salpeter equation within an all-electron first-principles framework. We demonstrate our approach with the emission spectra of the fluorine K edge in LiF, and provide an in-depth analysis of the pathways that determine the spectral shape. Excitoninc effects are shown to play a crucial role in both the valence and core regime.
