description: Modelling edge weights play a crucial role in the analysis of network data, which reveals the extent of relationships among individuals. Due to the diversity of weight information, sharing these data has become a complicated challenge in a privacy-preserving way. In this paper, we consider the case of the non-denoising process to achieve the trade-off between privacy and weight information in the generalized $β$-model. Under the edge differential privacy with a discrete Laplace mechanism, the Z-estimators from estimating equations for the model parameters are shown to be consistent and asymptotically normally distributed. The simulations and a real data example are given to further support the theoretical results.

description: We propose the Recursive Non-autoregressive Graph-to-Graph Transformer architecture (RNGTr) for the iterative refinement of arbitrary graphs through the recursive application of a non-autoregressive Graph-to-Graph Transformer and apply it to syntactic dependency parsing. We demonstrate the power and effectiveness of RNGTr on several dependency corpora, using a refinement model pre-trained with BERT. We also introduce Syntactic Transformer (SynTr), a non-recursive parser similar to our refinement model. RNGTr can improve the accuracy of a variety of initial parsers on 13 languages from the Universal Dependencies Treebanks, English and Chinese Penn Treebanks, and the German CoNLL2009 corpus, even improving over the new state-of-the-art results achieved by SynTr, significantly improving the state-of-the-art for all corpora tested.

Poetics and 'kultura': A study of contemporary Slovene and Croat puppetry
Creators: name: Latchis-Silverthorne, Eugenie T.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: By placing both their professional and amateur theaters in the context of the broader cultural arena, this study investigates the scope and significance of contemporary Slovene and Croat puppetry. It examines the intersection of a once marginal art with both official cultural policy and parallel social movement. At the core of my analysis is the belief that Slovene and Croat puppetry serves a dual role: as cultural communicator and social commentator. Through textual analysis, interviews, and observation of performance and festival activity, I focused on the central aesthetic, social, structural, and ritual properties which inform Yugoslav puppet theater. I propose that these properties cut across the continuum of Slovene and Croat societies, and that, far from existing in a vacuum, puppetry has become an integral part of contemporary culture. Slovene and Croat puppetry function on numerous levels at once: they reflect basic cultural ideals and values, they serve as ethnic markers, they manifest state policy, and they provide a vehicle for artistic innovation and social action. Finally, because of the meaning of its symbolism and its own use as a cultural symbol, puppetry provides insight into the fundamental dynamics of cultural tradition and change.

description: Analyzing functional values of RNA using RNA-seq technology is a hot spot of researches. In order to study the medicinal value of Pholiota adipose from the transcriptome level, it is necessary to extract and isolate RNA samples of high purity and high quality P. adipose. In this study, liquid nitrogen grinding Trizol one-step method was used to extract the total RNA of P. adipose. Quality test and statistical comparative analysis were carried out for RNA extract of liquid nitrogen grinding treated and untreated P. adipose. The results showed that the concentration of RNA in the samples treated with liquid nitrogen was much higher than that of the samples without grinding treatment. The OD260/280 of both was about 2, indicating that the purity of RNA was very high. Besides, the ratio of fluorescence intensity of 25S and 18S subunit strips of three replicate samples was 1.8, 1.9, and 1.9, close to 2, indicating RNA integrity is good. RIN test results of Agilent 2100 were 9.1, 8.7, and 9.3, higher than the standard value 6.8, further proving the integrity. In sum, liquid nitrogen grinding Trizol one-step method is a very simple and efficient method for extracting high quality total RNA of P. adipose.

description: We use monoidal category methods to study the noncommutative geometry of nonassociative algebras obtained by a Drinfeld-type cochain twist. These are the so-called quasialgebras and include the octonions as braided-commutative but nonassociative coordinate rings, as well as quasialgebra versions $\CC_{q}(G)$ of the standard q-deformation quantum groups. We introduce the notion of ribbon algebras in the category, which are algebras equipped with a suitable generalised automorphism $σ$, and obtain the required generalisation of cyclic cohomology. We show that this \emph{braided cyclic cocohomology} is invariant under a cochain twist. We also extend to our generalisation the relation between cyclic cohomology and differential calculus on the ribbon quasialgebra. The paper includes differential calculus and cyclic cocycles on the octonions as a finite nonassociative geometry, as well as the algebraic noncommutative torus as an associative example.

description: Drought and water shortage are the biggest limiting factors of dry farming, and variety plays an important role in an increase in the yield of dryland maize. Screening high-yield maize varieties is helpful to the continuous increase and stable yield of dryland grain. In this experiment, the growth period, characters and yield of 12 maize varieties were analyzed. The results show that the yield of Ganyu series was low, while the yield of Lianda 169 was the highest (8 080.93 kg/ha), which was 31.40% higher than Jinsui 4. The yield of Dunyu 16 was 6 621.06 kg/ha, 7.64% higher than Jinsui 4. The two varieties had good comprehensive characters, so they could be popularized and planted in dry farming areas of Lanzhou City.

description: Taking Zhongyu 3 as the experimental variety, this paper analyzed the effects of different sowing depths (5 cm and 8 cm) and sowing equipment (ZHSB-10 medium-sized sowing machine and 2B-2 small sowing machine) on the growth, yield and components of yield of mechanized sowing maize, to provide references for mechanized maize production in southwest ecological zone. The results showed that the germination rate, plant height uniformity, and most agronomic traits of maize plant were higher at the sowing depth of 5 cm; with the growth of the maize, the effects of the sowing depth on agronomic traits of maize gradually declined; the effects of the sowing depth on the empty stalk rate, double ear rate, lodging rate, and lodging and stem broken rate were smaller; the sowing depth of 5 cm could increase the yield of mechanized sowing maize and most yield traits of maize. Different sowing machines had smaller effects on the germination rate, plant height uniformity, and agronomic traits of all growth stages, empty stalk rate, double ear rate, lodging rate, lodging and stem broken rate, yield, and components of yield of mechanized sowing maize.

description: Continuous Integration is the process of merging
 code changes into a software project. Keeping the master branch
 always updated and unfailingly is very computationally expensive
 due to the number of tests and code that needs to be executed.
 The waiting times also increase the time required for debugging.
 This paper proposes a solution to reduce the execution time of
 the testing phase, by selecting only a subset of all the tests,
 given some code changes. This is accomplished by training a
 Machine Learning (ML) Classifier with features such as code/test
 files history fails, extension code files that tend to generate more
 errors during the testing phase, and others. The results obtained
 by the best ML classifier showed results comparable with the
 recent literature done in the same area. This model managed to
 reduce the median test execution time by nearly 10 minutes while
 maintaining 97% of recall. Additionally, the impact of innocent
 commits and flaky tests was taken into account and studied to
 understand a particular industrial context.

description: One of the most important properties influencing the chemical behavior of an element is the energy released with the addition of an extra electron to the neutral atom, referred to as the electron affinity (EA). Among the remaining elements with unknown EA is astatine, the purely radioactive element 85. Astatine is the heaviest naturally occurring halogen and its isotope $^{211}$At is remarkably well suited for targeted radionuclide therapy of cancer. With the At$^-$ anion being involved in many aspects of current astatine labelling protocols, the knowledge of the electron affinity of this element is of prime importance. In addition, the EA can be used to deduce other concepts such as the electronegativity, thereby further improving the understanding of astatine's chemistry. Here, we report the first measurement of the EA for astatine to be 2.41578(7)eV. This result is compared to state-of-the-art relativistic quantum mechanical calculations, which require incorporation of the electron-electron correlation effects on the highest possible level. The developed technique of laser-photodetachment spectroscopy of radioisotopes opens the path for future EA measurements of other radioelements such as polonium, and eventually super-heavy elements, which are produced at a one-atom-at-a-time rate.

description: We give a simple argument to show that no purely metric-based, relativistic formulation of Milgrom's Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) whose energy functional is stable (in the sense of being quadratic in perturbations) can be consistent with the observed amount of gravitational lensing from galaxies. An important part of the argument is the fact that reproducing the MOND force law requires any completely stable, metric-based theory of gravity to become conformally invariant in the weak field limit. We discuss the prospects for a formulation with a very weak instability.

description: While it is well known that mass transfer in binaries can pollute the surfaces of the accretors, it is still unclear whether this mechanism can reproduce the observed chemical inhomogeneities in globular clusters. We study the surface abundances of the accretors in low-mass binaries, as a first step towards understanding whether mass transfer in low-mass binaries is one of the potential origins of the aforementioned abundance anomalies in globular clusters. We use the Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics code to calculate binary evolutionary models with different initial donor masses between 0.9 and 1.9 $ \rm {M}_\odot$ for an initial metallicity of Z = 0.0034. The results show that in some low-mass binary systems, the accretors exhibit peculiar chemical patterns when they are still unevolved stars, e.g. C and O depletion; Na and N enhancement; constant Mg, Al and C+N+O. The abundance patterns of the accretors are significantly different from their initial abundances (or that of normal single stars), and can match the observed populations. These abundance patterns strongly depend not only on the initial parameters of binaries (donor mass, mass ratio, and orbital period), but also on the assumptions regarding mass-transfer efficiency and angular momentum loss. These results support the hypothesis that mass transfer in low-mass binaries is at least partly responsible for the unevolved anomalous stars in globular clusters. More work on binary evolutionary models and binary population synthesis is required to fully evaluate the contribution of this scenario.

Exerciser Monkey
Test Generation

description: Testing mobile applications often relies on tools, such as Exerciser Monkey for Android systems, that simulate user input. Exerciser Monkey, for example, generates random events (e.g., touches, gestures, navigational keys) that give developers a sense of what their application will do when deployed on real mobile phones with real users interacting with it. These tools, however, have no knowledge of the underlying applications' structures and only interact with them randomly or in a predefined manner (e.g., if developers designed scenarios, a labour-intensive task) -- making them slow and poor at finding bugs. In this paper, we propose a novel control flow structure able to represent the code of Android applications, including all the interactive elements. We show that our structure can increase the effectiveness (higher coverage) and efficiency (removing duplicate/redundant tests) of the Exerciser Monkey by giving it knowledge of the test environment. We compare the interface coverage achieved by the Exerciser Monkey with our new Monkey++ using a depth first search of our control flow structure and show that while the random nature of Exerciser Monkey creates slow test suites of poor coverage, the test suite created by a depth first search is one order of magnitude faster and achieves full coverage of the user interaction elements. We believe this research will lead to a more effective and efficient Exerciser Monkey, as well as better targeted search based techniques for automated Android testing.

For G = 0 the Dirac equation can be solved explicitly for a constant Skyrme configuration and also for a SO(4) symmetric hedgehog configuration. We discuss how the spectrum changes due to the presence of a non-trivial winding number, and also consider more general Skyrme configurations numerically.

description: The purpose of the study was to describe the relationship of empathy to intellectual development in a sample of graduate students of counseling and to draw implications both for the theoretical constructs--empathy (Hogan) and intellectual development (Perry scheme)--and for the education of counselors. The national sample comprised 340 student members of the American Association for Counseling and Development. These student members were surveyed (1990) for seven census characteristics and for the students' scores on two psychological instruments: Hogan's Scale of Empathy, and Moore's Learning Environment Preferences (LEP). Seven hypotheses of relationship were tested using statistical tests for correlation, nonlinearity, and multivariate contrasts. The results showed a significant and positive relationship between empathy and intellectual development. Moreover, empathy showed a patterned relationship to measures of student epistemology (on the LEP) in a way supportive of cognitive developmental theory. The principal implication of the study for theory is that empathy and intellectual development need to be regarded as mutual correlates in the process of human development. For counselor educators, this means that the education of empathy in students of counseling will need to be seen increasingly as an enterprise in facilitating cognitive development rather than as "skills training.". As a result of this study, the two constructs--empathy development and intellectual development--may be now regarded (at least in the social domain) to be describing the same phenomonon. With respect to the education of counselors, a more useful construct may well be "empathic-cognitive" development. Thus conceived, the changes students of counseling go through as they move toward improved ability to understand, with empathy, other persons would be viewed as structural stage changes in thought--that is, as changes in epistemology.

description: Decentralized online planning can be an attractive paradigm for cooperative multi-agent systems, due to improved scalability and robustness. A key difficulty of such approach lies in making accurate predictions about the decisions of other agents. In this paper, we present a trainable online decentralized planning algorithm based on decentralized Monte Carlo Tree Search, combined with models of teammates learned from previous episodic runs. By only allowing one agent to adapt its models at a time, under the assumption of ideal policy approximation, successive iterations of our method are guaranteed to improve joint policies, and eventually lead to convergence to a Nash equilibrium. We test the efficiency of the algorithm by performing experiments in several scenarios of the spatial task allocation environment introduced in [Claes et al., 2015]. We show that deep learning and convolutional neural networks can be employed to produce accurate policy approximators which exploit the spatial features of the problem, and that the proposed algorithm improves over the baseline planning performance for particularly challenging domain configurations.

We examine such a holonomy structure for mixtures of energetically degenerate quantal states. We demonstrate that this structure has a natural interpretation in terms of the standard Wilczek-Zee holonomy associated with a certain class of Hamiltonians that couple the system to an ancilla. The mixed state holonomy is analysed for holonomic quantum computation using ion traps.

description: We present the results of radio continuum observations towards the open cluster Tr 14, where our main targets are the early-type O stars HD 93129A/B and HD 93128. The observations were carried out at 3 cm (8.64 GHz) and 6 cm (4.80 GHz) with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. Only HD 93129A (type O2 If*) was detected; we measure flux densities of S_(3cm) = 2.0 +- 0.2 mJy and S_(6cm) = 4.1 +- 0.4 mJy. The resulting spectral index of alpha = -1.2 +- 0.3 (S_(nu) = k . nu^alpha) indicates predominantly non-thermal emission, suggesting HD 93129A may be a binary system. We propose that the observed 3 cm radio emission is mostly coming from the non-thermal wind collision region of a binary, and, to a lesser extent, from the thermal winds of the primary and secondary stars in HD 93129A. At a stellar distance of 2.8 kpc, we derive a mass-loss rate M_dot = 5.1 x 10^(-5) M_sun/yr, assuming the thermal fraction of the 3 cm emission is about 0.5.

description: The evolution of a relativistic heavy-ion collision is typically understood as a process that transmutes the initial geometry of the system into the final momentum distribution of observed hadrons, which can be described via a cumulant expansion of the initial distribution of energy density and is represented at leading order as the well-known eccentricity scaling of anisotropic flow. We summarize a proposed extension of this framework to include the contribution from initial momentum-space properties, as encoded in other components of the energy-momentum tensor. Numerical tests validate this proposal.

Thus conceived, the changes students of counseling go through as they move toward improved ability to understand, with empathy, other persons would be viewed as structural stage changes in thought--that is, as changes in epistemology.

description: We present STACKFUL, a novel concolic tester for full-stack web applications. In contrast to existing automated web application testers, STACKFUL builds an inter-process view of the web application which in turn allows the tester to contextualise the (server side) errors it reports, for example by differentiating between server side bugs based on whether or not they are reachable from a given client, and by proving a practical guide as to how particular server side bugs may be reached from the client by an end-user. Instructions for installing and using STACKFUL, as well as a video demonstrating the tester, are available at http://soft.vub.ac. be/∼mvdcamme/stackful/

Address-Aware Query Caching for Symbolic Execution
Creators: name: Trabish, David

description: Abstract—Symbolic execution (SE) is a popular program analysis technique. SE heavily relies on satisfiability queries during path exploration, often resulting in the majority of the time being spent on solving these queries. Hence, it is not surprising that one of the most vital optimizations SE engines use is query caching. To increase the cache hit rate, queries are transformed into a normal form, which is used as a key for updating the cache. An obstacle to caching queries involving pointers is the presence of numerical address values, which are assigned by the engine according to its memory allocation scheme and are hard to canonicalize across different paths. In this paper, we propose a novel query caching technique that allows efficient handling of queries containing expressions that depend on address values. The key insight is that the result of such queries is in fact agnostic to the concrete address values occurring in them, subject to some basic memory safety constraints. This observation can be used to coalesce more queries during cache lookup, thus further increasing cache utilization. Our extensive evaluation shows that our technique achieves significant performance gains when the analysis encounters queries containing symbolic pointers, while incurring only a modest performance overhead in other cases.

Energy profiling for demand side management using the CISCO EnergyWise product
Creators: name: Kim, Seung Hyun
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This report evaluates the functional capabilities of Cisco’s EnergyWise software by gathering information of the functionality desired by the stakeholders, UBC Campus Sustainability, Operations and ECE, by developing a test plan according to this information, and by conducting product research and case studies. Methods of investigation include stakeholder meetings, conference call with Cisco representatives, white paper research, conducting case studies and researching the “Cisco EnergyWise Management Help” document. EnergyWise saves energy by minimizing the waste. The function “Poicy” sets a specified usage pattern to optimize energy usage. Because of security concerns of other integration methods, Windows machines offer “EnergyWise Helper” that UBC may benefit from. The function “Scenario Reports” provide expected energy savings given a scenario. Scenarios have four configuration items: time-based pattern, extrapolation, power factor, and power limit. The results of a case study shows that Kaiser and MacLeod buildings have a small percentage of IT energy consumption from the building’s total, 1.07% and 1.48% respectively. Also, the maximum energy saving by setting the power state to standby of all devices attached to the network switches in Kaiser is 7.83%. These results from the case studies suggest that Kaiser and MacLeod buildings does not significantly benefit from using EnergyWise. However, the integration of computers will result in much higher energy savings. Therefore some more case studies must be conducted regarding the usage pattern of computers in the future to appropriately evaluate the functional capabilities of EnergyWise.

description: Excerpts from the report Summary: Periodic estimates of the United States food supply have been made during recent years. These proved useful for showing trends in consumption of major food groups, for indicating trends in the relative adequacy of the civilian diet, and for comparison with similar data for other countries. In order to provide historical perspective for current data, the nutritive values of the Nation's food supply have been estimated for each year beginning with 1909, the first year for which reasonably adequate data are available. This report presents three sets of data for the period 1909-45: (1) Estimates of per capita quantities of the major groups of foods available for consumption each year at the retail level of distribution, including home-produced food; (2) the daily per capita quantity of 11 nutrients in these foods; and (3) the proportion of the total quantity of the various nutrients coming from the major groups of foods.
The relationship of biogenetic predisposition, personality and familial characteristics to adolescent anorexia nervosa: A risk model
Creators: name: Lyon, Maureen Ellen
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study examined the relative risk of family history of affective disorder, family history of eating disorder, perceptions of family environment as low in independence and the personality variables of feelings of ineffectiveness, model child and interoceptive awareness in predicting whether adolescents had anorexia nervosa, restricting type. Loglinear analyses were used to identify a model that best fit the data. This method permits a multivariate view of the data as well as identification of interactions among variables. Univariate analyses were also calculated. The sample consists of 49 patients with anorexia nervosa, restricting type, and their parents, as well as 259 noneating disordered adolescents and 109 of their parents. Controls were junior high and high school students from public and private schools. Subjects were administered the EAT, EDI, FES, Perfect Child Questionnaire and Family History Questionnaire. The model that best fit the data was family history of depression, feelings of ineffectiveness, poor interoceptive awareness, and the interaction between feelings of ineffectiveness and poor interoceptive awareness. The relative risk for anorexia nervosa was four times more likely for adolescents with a family history of depression and three times more likely for adolescents with poor interoceptive awareness. A feeling of ineffectiveness was a relatively weak variable contributing little to the relative risk of anorexia nervosa. The risks between the factors interoceptive awareness and feelings of ineffectiveness may not be well distinguished. These results failed to support a model with the variables "model child", family history of eating disorders, or family with low independence. Thus, the model which best fit the data was a simple one, confirming Bruch's theory that one important risk factor for anorexia nervosa was poor interoceptive. The mechanism of relative risk for anorexia nervosa in families with a history of depression remains to be explicated. The multidimensional nature of anorexia nervosa was confirmed empirically.

description: The moving discontinuous Galerkin finite element method with interface condition enforcement (MDG-ICE) is applied to the case of viscous flows. This method uses a weak formulation that separately enforces the conservation law, constitutive law, and the corresponding interface conditions in order to provide the means to detect interfaces or under-resolved flow features. To satisfy the resulting overdetermined weak formulation, the discrete domain geometry is introduced as a variable, so that the method implicitly fits a priori unknown interfaces and moves the grid to resolve sharp, but smooth, gradients, achieving a form of anisotropic curvilinear $r$-adaptivity. This approach avoids introducing low-order errors that arise using shock capturing, artificial dissipation, or limiting. The utility of this approach is demonstrated with its application to a series of test problems culminating with the compressible Navier-Stokes solution to a Mach 5 viscous bow shock for a Reynolds number of $10^{5}$ in two-dimensional space. Time accurate solutions of unsteady problems are obtained via a space-time formulation, in which the unsteady problem is formulated as a higher dimensional steady space-time problem. The method is shown to accurately resolve and transport viscous structures without relying on numerical dissipation for stabilization.

description: We devise a mixing algorithm for full-potential (FP) all-electron calculations in the linearized augmented planewave (LAPW) method. Pulay's direct inversion in the iterative subspace is complemented with the Kerker preconditioner and further improvements to achieve smooth convergence, avoiding charge sloshing and noise in the exchange-correlation potential. As the Kerker preconditioner was originally designed for the planewave basis, we have adapted it to the FP-LAPW method and implemented in the exciting code. Applications to the $2\times 2$ Au(111) surface with a vacancy and to the Pd(111) surface demonstrate that this approach and our implementation work reliably with both density and potential mixing.
