description: Large Language Models (LLMs) are revolutionizing information retrieval, with chatbots becoming an important source for answering user queries. As by their design, LLMs prioritize generating correct answers, the value of highly plausible yet incorrect answers (candidate answers) tends to be overlooked. However, such answers can still prove useful, for example, they can play a crucial role in tasks like Multiple-Choice Question Answering (MCQA) and QA Robustness Assessment (QARA). Existing QA datasets primarily focus on correct answers without explicit consideration of the plausibility of other candidate answers, limiting opportunity for more nuanced evaluations of models. To address this gap, we introduce PlausibleQA, a large-scale dataset comprising 10,000 questions and 100,000 candidate answers, each annotated with plausibility scores and justifications for their selection. Additionally, the dataset includes 900,000 justifications for pairwise comparisons between candidate answers, further refining plausibility assessments. We evaluate PlausibleQA through human assessments and empirical experiments, demonstrating its utility in MCQA and QARA analysis. Our findings show that plausibility-aware approaches are effective for MCQA distractor generation and QARA. We release PlausibleQA as a resource for advancing QA research and enhancing LLM performance in distinguishing plausible distractors from correct answers.

description: The vascular structure in retinal images plays a crucial role in ophthalmic diagnostics, and its accuracies are directly influenced by the quality of the retinal image. Contrast enhancement is one of the crucial steps in any segmentation algorithm - the more so since the retinal images are related to medical diagnosis. Contrast enhancement is a vital step that not only intensifies the darkness of the blood vessels but also prevents minor capillaries from being disregarded during the process. This paper proposes a novel model that utilizes the linear blending of Fuzzy Contrast Enhancement (FCE) and Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) to enhance the retinal image for retinal vascular structure segmentation. The scheme is tested using the Digital Retinal Images for Vessel Extraction (DRIVE) dataset. The assertion was then evaluated through performance comparison among other methodologies which are Gray-scaling, Histogram Equalization (HE), FCE, and CLAHE. It was evident in this paper that the combination of FCE and CLAHE methods showed major improvement. Both FCE and CLAHE methods dominating with 88% as better enhancement methods proved that preprocessing through fuzzy logic is effective.

description: Steganography is the art and science of covert writing, with a broad range of applications interwoven within the realm of cybersecurity. As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, its ability to synthesise realistic content emerges as a threat in the hands of cybercriminals who seek to manipulate and misrepresent the truth. Such synthetic content introduces a non-trivial risk of overwriting the subtle changes made for the purpose of steganography. When the signals in both the spatial and temporal domains are vulnerable to unforeseen overwriting, it calls for reflection on what, if any, remains invariant. This study proposes a paradigm in steganography for audiovisual media, where messages are concealed beyond both spatial and temporal domains. A chain of multimodal artificial intelligence is developed to deconstruct audiovisual content into a cover text, embed a message within the linguistic domain, and then reconstruct the audiovisual content through synchronising both auditory and visual modalities with the resultant stego text. The message is encoded by biasing the word sampling process of a language generation model and decoded by analysing the probability distribution of word choices. The accuracy of message transmission is evaluated under both zero-bit and multi-bit capacity settings. Fidelity is assessed through both biometric and semantic similarities, capturing the identities of the recorded face and voice, as well as the core ideas conveyed through the media. Secrecy is examined through statistical comparisons between cover and stego texts. Robustness is tested across various scenarios, including audiovisual resampling, face-swapping, voice-cloning and their combinations.

description: We present polarization pulse profiles for 56 millisecond pulsars (MSPs) monitored by the Chinese Pulsar Timing Array (CPTA) collaboration using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). The observations centered at 1.25 GHz with a raw bandwidth of 500 MHz. Due to the high sensitivity ($\sim$16 K/Jy) of the FAST telescope and our long integration time, the high signal-to-noise ratio polarization profiles show features hardly detected before. Among 56 pulsars, the polarization profiles of PSRs J0406$+$3039, J1327$+$3423, and J2022$+$2534 were not previously reported. 80\% of MSPs in the sample show weak components below 3\% of peak flux, 25\% of pulsars show interpulse-like structures, and most pulsars show linear polarization position angle jumps. Six pulsars seem to be emitting for full rotation phase, with another thirteen pulsars being good candidates for such a 360$^\circ$ radiator. We find that the distribution of the polarization percentage in our sample is compatible with the normal pulsar distribution. Our detailed evaluation of the MSP polarization properties suggests that the wave propagation effects in the pulsar magnetosphere are important in shaping the MSP polarization pulse profiles.

Comments. We reviewed the type specimens of Phrurolithus subnigerus Fu, Chen & Zhang, 2016, currently placed in Corealithus, and found that its morphological and genitalic characters are the same as those of Otacilia nigerus (Yin, 2012), particularly the shape of the copulatory ducts, connecting tubes, bursa, spermathecae, fertilization ducts, and copulatory openings. We therefore suggest that C. subnigerus syn. nov. should be a junior synonym of O. nigera. Furthermore, O. nigera should be transferred to Corealithus as a new combination, Corealithus nigerus (Yin, 2012) comb. nov..

description: Transformer-based sequential recommendation (TSR) models have shown superior performance in recommendation systems, where the quality of item representations plays a crucial role. Classical representation methods integrate item features using concatenation or neural networks to generate homogeneous representation sequences. While straightforward, these methods overlook the heterogeneity of item features, limiting the transformer's ability to capture fine-grained patterns and restricting scalability. Recent studies have attempted to integrate user-side heterogeneous features into item representation sequences, but item-side heterogeneous features, which are vital for performance, remain excluded. To address these challenges, we propose a Heterogeneous Information Transformer model for Sequential Recommendation (HeterRec), which incorporates Heterogeneous Token Flatten Layer (HTFL) and Hierarchical Causal Transformer Layer (HCT). Our HTFL is a novel item tokenization method that converts items into a heterogeneous token set and organizes these tokens into heterogeneous sequences, effectively enhancing performance gains when scaling up the model. Moreover, HCT introduces token-level and item-level causal transformers to extract fine-grained patterns from the heterogeneous sequences. Additionally, we design a Listwise Multi-step Prediction (LMP) Loss function to further improve performance. Extensive experiments on both offline and online datasets show that the HeterRec model achieves superior performance.

description: As a non-invasive and sub-convulsive functional stimulation technique, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) generates a relatively weak current intensity and applies the moderate current to the brain to modulate the level of cortical excitability. This neuromodulatory technique has been extensively used as a potential clinical treatment for various neuropsychiatric conditions, ranging from depression, addition to schizophrenia and Parkinson’s disease. Recently, tDCS has also been researched as a promising alternative treatment to alleviate neuropathic pain of cancer patients. The focus of this project is to numerically investigate the precise applications of tDCS based on a series of high resolution realistic human head model using finite element methods. Specifically, the influence of brain shift caused by gravity was firstly pre-validated using real shaped human head model. After that, this study focuses on the investigation of tDCS applications on the brain cancer patients in order to treat their neuropsychiatric conditions and neuropathic pain caused by the brain tumors. Thirdly, the role of blood vessels in shaping the induced current distributions within the cortex during tDCS was thoroughly investigated and addressed. The outcomes of this project highlight the importance of head orientation during the clinical application of tDCS. The results also clear the safety concern in applying tDCS to the patients with brain cancer. In addition, this project provides positive supports on the introduction of brain blood vessels during the precise human head modelling for tDCS though considerable workload will be involved.

description: Nanoparticles, exhibiting functionally relevant structural heterogeneity, are at the forefront of cutting-edge research. Now, high-throughput single-particle imaging (SPI) with X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) creates opportunities for recovering the shape distributions of millions of particles that exhibit functionally relevant structural heterogeneity. To realize this potential, three challenges have to be overcome: (1) simultaneous parametrization of structural variability in real and reciprocal spaces; (2) efficiently inferring the latent parameters of each SPI measurement; (3) scaling up comparisons between 105 structural models and 106 XFEL-SPI measurements. Here, we describe how we overcame these three challenges to resolve the nonequilibrium shape distributions within millions of gold nanoparticles imaged at the European XFEL. These shape distributions allowed us to quantify the degree of asymmetry in these particles, discover a relatively stable “shape envelope” among nanoparticles, discern finite-size effects related to shape-controlling surfactants, and extrapolate nanoparticles’ shapes to their idealized thermodynamic limit. Ultimately, these demonstrations show that XFEL SPI can help transform nanoparticle shape characterization from anecdotally interesting to statistically meaningful.

(type species: Otacilia armatissima Thorell, 1897, by original designation).
Palaetyra Simon, 1898.
Diagnosis. This genus can be distinguished from Phrurolithus by having chevron stripes posteriorly on abdomen and two strong, thin tibial apophyses in male palp. It differs from Abdosetae by the absence of a longitudinal row of long setae behind the epigastric fold in males. They also can be separated by lacking a tegular sheet (vs with tegular sheet in Lingulatus Mu & Zhang, 2022) and prolateral tegular apophysis (vs with prolateral tegular apophysis in Xilithus Liu & Li, 2022). This genus is similar to Aculithus, but can be distinguished by the long and curved embolus in the male palp and the distinct copulatory openings, and the large and separated bursae, in the female epigyne.
Description. Small to medium spiders. Carapace oval, yellow to brown, with different pattern in dorsal view. Chelicerae with two (one long and another short) spine anteriorly. Femora I–II with one or two dorsal spines, femora III–IV with one dorsal spine; femur I–II with three to seven prolateral spines; tibia I–II with more than six pairs of ventral spines (usually unpaired); metatarsus I with four pairs of ventral spines, metatarsus II with four proventral spines and three retroventral spines. Abdomen oval, with distinct chevron stripes posteriorly in dorsal view, with small and thin dorsal scutum anteriorly in male, absent in female. Male palp: femoral apophysis well developed; tibia with one retrolateral apophysis and one dorsal tibial apophysis (sometimes absent); bulb oval, as wide as cymbium or wider than cymbium; embolus long, needle-like or hook shaped; conductor present or absent. Female epigyne: median septum present or absent; copulatory openings distinct; copulatory ducts and connecting tubes variable, glandular appendages digital or mastoid-shaped; bursa membranous, spermathecae with different shapes.

description: Rapid resource model updating with real-time data is important for making timely decisions in resource management and mining operations. This requires optimal merging of models and observations, which can be achieved through data assimilation, and the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) has become a popular method for this task. However, the modelled resources in mining usually consist of multiple variables of interest with multivariate relationships of varying complexity. EnKF is not a multivariate approach, and even for univariate cases, there may be slight deviations between its outcomes and observations. This study presents a methodology for rapidly updating multivariate resource models using the EnKF with multiple data assimilations (EnKF-MDA) combined with rotation based iterative Gaussianisation (RBIG). EnKF-MDA improves the updating by assimilating the same data multiple times with an inflated measurement error, while RBIG quickly transforms the data into multi-Gaussian factors. The application of the proposed algorithm is validated by a real case study with nine cross-correlated variables. The combination of EnKF-MDA and RBIG successfully improves the accuracy of resource model updates, minimises uncertainty, and preserves the multivariate relationships.

description: We present 12 observations of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar Aql X-1, taken from August 2022 to October 2023 using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope at 1250 MHz. These observations covered both the quiescence and X-ray outburst states, as determined by analyzing the X-ray data from the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer and the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image. Periodicity and single-pulse searches were conducted for each observation, but no pulsed signals were detected. The obtained upper limit flux densities are in the range of 2.86-5.73 uJy, which provide the lowest limits to date. We discuss several mechanisms that may prevent detection, suggesting that Aql X-1 may be in the radio-ejection state during quiescence, where the radio pulsed emissions are absorbed by the matter surrounding the system.

description: Marine foundation species are vital to coastal ecosystems, offering structural habitat, nourishment, and shelter to a variety of plants and animals, as well as supporting a range of ecosystem services. Climate change seriously threatens foundation species and the ecosystems they sustain. This impact gets worse when combined with other human stressors like overfishing, pollution, and building along the coast. Gradual warming, both directly and indirectly, is causing problems across all kinds of marine life. The recorded effects include changes in the genetic makeup, body functions, abundance, distribution, and modifications to their interactions with other species. Various methods were used to strengthen marine foundation species during the Anthropocene era. These methods focus on making them more resilient and ensuring they continue providing essential ecosystem services.

description: Large Language Models (LLMs) encode semantic relationships in high-dimensional vector embeddings. This paper explores the analogy between LLM embedding spaces and quantum mechanics, positing that LLMs operate within a quantized semantic space where words and phrases behave as quantum states. To capture nuanced semantic interference effects, we extend the standard real-valued embedding space to the complex domain, drawing parallels to the double-slit experiment. We introduce a "semantic wave function" to formalize this quantum-derived representation and utilize potential landscapes, such as the double-well potential, to model semantic ambiguity. Furthermore, we propose a complex-valued similarity measure that incorporates both magnitude and phase information, enabling a more sensitive comparison of semantic representations. We develop a path integral formalism, based on a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a gauge field and Mexican hat potential, to model the dynamic evolution of LLM behavior. This interdisciplinary approach offers a new theoretical framework for understanding and potentially manipulating LLMs, with the goal of advancing both artificial and natural language understanding.

description: We discuss relativistic and radiative corrections to the energies of quantum cyclotron states. In particular, it is shown analytically that the leading logarithmic radiative (self-energy) correction to the bound-state energy levels of quantum cyclotron states is state-independent, and must be interpreted as a magnetic-field-dependent correction to the electron's mass in a Penning trap.

description: LaRu$_3$Si$_2$ is of current research interest as a kagome metal with a superconducting transition temperature, $T_c\sim$7 K and higher temperature charge density wave (CDW) orders. Here we report electrical transport and X-ray diffraction measurements on LaRu$_3$Si$_2$ under pressure up to 65 GPa and 35 GPa respectively. The superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ first gets slightly enhanced and reaches a maximum $\sim$8.7 K at $\sim$8.5 GPa. With further applied pressure, $T_c$ is initially gradually suppressed, then more rapidly suppressed, followed by gradual suppression, revealing a superconducting dome. Two possible pressure-induced structural phase transitions are also observed at room temperature, from original hexagonal phase to another hexagonal structure above $\sim$11.5 GPa, and further to a structure with lower symmetry above $\sim$23.5 GPa. These transition pressures roughly correlate with features found in our pressure dependent transport data.

title: V.F.-Werk „Österreichisches Jungvolk“
Creators: name: Pammer, Thomas
Year: 2011

description: Das 'Österreichische Jungvolk' (ÖJV) war die 1936 gegründete Einheitsjugend des Dollfuß-Schuschnigg-Regimes und verfügte bei seiner Auflösung 1938 über rund 350.000 Mitglieder. Die Frage der Jugendorganisierung war ab 1934 eines der beherrschenden innenpolitischen Themen und Ausgangspunkt schwerer Konflikte zwischen verschiedenen Machtblöcken des Herrschaftssystems, wie etwa der katholischen Kirche, der faschistischen Heimwehr oder der christlichen Arbeiterbewegung. Allerdings liegt im Unterschied zu den bereits gut erforschten Staatsjugendorganisationen Italiens und Deutschlands bisher keine umfassende Darstellung über das ÖJV vor, ebenso wenig zur allgemeinen Jugendpolitik dieses Regimes. Die wenigen vorhandenen Untersuchungen beschäftigen sich lediglich mit Teilaspekten. Diese Forschungslücke wird nun mithilfe bislang unbearbeiteter Quellen, etwa Bischofsnachlässen aus Diözesanarchiven oder des 2009 nach Österreich 'zurückgekehrten' Aktenbestandes der 'Vaterländischen Front', verkleinert werden; auch Zeitzeugenberichte von ehemaligen Mitgliedern der Staatsjugend und eine Analyse von ÖJV-Publikationen fließen in die Arbeit ein. Zunächst werden in einem einleitenden chronologischen Teil jene Entwicklungen und Konflikte dargestellt, die der Gründung des ÖJV vorausgingen. Dadurch können bisher verdeckte Bruchlinien zwischen und innerhalb der einzelnen Machtgruppen sichtbar gemacht werden. Im folgenden analytischen Teil werden nicht nur die Organisations- und Mitgliederstruktur sowie die Erziehungsprinzipien der Staatsjugend dargelegt, sondern auch die Politik der Staatsführung und der ÖJV-Leitung gegenüber jugendlichen Angehörigen ethnischer und religiöser Minderheiten sowie oppositioneller Gruppen untersucht. Dabei werden auch Thesen der bisherigen Forschung überprüft, etwa jene einer weitgehenden Unterwanderung der Staatsjugend durch nationalsozialistische Elemente. Anknüpfend an die Debatte über einen faschistischen Charakter des Dollfuß-Schuschnigg-Regimes wird schließlich analysiert, inwieweit das ÖJV als 'faschistische' Organisation gelten kann. Somit soll diese Untersuchung nicht nur die Voraussetzungen für weitere Forschungen auf dem Gebiet der Jugendpolitik im 'Christlichen Ständestaat' schaffen, sondern auch vergleichende Untersuchungen dieses Regime mit anderen autoritären und faschistischen Herrschaftssystemen im Europa der Zwischenkriegszeit erleichtern.
