description: Open Information Extraction (OpenIE) aims to extract relational tuples from open-domain sentences. Traditional rule-based or statistical models have been developed based on syntactic structures of sentences, identified by syntactic parsers. However, previous neural OpenIE models under-explore the useful syntactic information. In this paper, we model both constituency and dependency trees into word-level graphs, and enable neural OpenIE to learn from the syntactic structures. To better fuse heterogeneous information from both graphs, we adopt multi-view learning to capture multiple relationships from them. Finally, the finetuned constituency and dependency representations are aggregated with sentential semantic representations for tuple generation. Experiments show that both constituency and dependency information, and the multi-view learning are effective.

description: Recent developments in the field of data fusion have seen a focus on techniques that use training queries to estimate the probability that various documents are relevant to a given query and use that information to assign scores to those documents on which they are subsequently ranked. This paper introduces SlideFuse, which builds on these techniques, introducing a sliding window in order to compensate for situations where little relevance information is available to aid in the estimation of probabilities. SlideFuse is shown to perform favourably in comparison with CombMNZ, ProbFuse and SegFuse. CombMNZ is the standard baseline technique against which data fusion algorithms are compared whereas ProbFuse and SegFuse represent the state-of-the-art for probabilistic data fusion methods.
Calakmul and Cremona: marriage alliances, war and disaster in historically-independent civilizations
Creators: name: Binetti, Christopher Ronald
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: In this thesis, I explore the similarities between medieval Italian city-states and the Mayan city-states. These two civilizations have no historical connections at all and yet they have many similarities in terms of their political culture. This thesis explores those similarities and also tries to understand why the Mayans and medieval Italians were so similar.The central conclusion is that human nature plus writing creates an impulse for politics that is cross-civilizational and cross-cultural. This leads in many cases to the building of city-states and a focus on the themes of Love (political marriage alliances), Trade, and War. Also, the political regimes that develop in these kinds of city-states are remarkably similar considering the total historical disconnect between the cultures involved.The general approach and theory behind this thesis is Aristotelian in nature. The idea is that politics is a natural phenomenon waiting to express itself in certain forms, unleashed in large part by writing. Theoretical conceptions of republicanism, human nature, and the city-state are essential elements of this thesis.
description: In questa tesi, esploro le somiglianze tra le città-stato medievali italiane e le città-stato Maya. Queste due civiltà non hanno alcun legame storico e tuttavia hanno molte somiglianze in termini di cultura politica. Questa tesi esplora queste somiglianze e cerca anche di capire perché i Maya e gli italiani medievali fossero così simili.La conclusione centrale è che la natura umana e la scrittura creano un impulso per la politica che è inter-civiltà e inter-culturale. Ciò porta in molti casi alla costruzione di città-stato e all'attenzione ai temi dell'amore (alleanze matrimoniali politiche), del commercio e della guerra. Inoltre, i regimi politici che si sviluppano in questo tipo di città-stato sono notevolmente simili considerando la totale disconnessione storica tra le culture coinvolte.L'approccio generale e la teoria alla base di questa tesi sono di natura aristotelica. L'idea è che la politica sia un fenomeno naturale in attesa di esprimersi in determinate forme, scatenate in gran parte dalla scrittura. Le concezioni teoriche del repubblicanesimo, della natura umana e della città-stato sono elementi essenziali di questa tesi.Tradotto usando il google traduttore.

description: To examine the effectiveness of self-directed, off-the-shelf information and communications technology (ICT)-based interventions in improving the quality of life, physical and psychosocial outcomes of community-dwelling stroke survivors and their support persons (SP). Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL and Cochrane databases were searched (2006–19th June 2020) for randomized controlled trials, controlled trials, controlled before and after studies, or interrupted time series studies that met the eligibility criteria. The quality of included studies was assessed. Interventions effectiveness was narratively synthesized, as was participant adherence and acceptability. Seventeen studies were eligible. Three studies were rated as low risk of bias across all methodological review criteria. Nine studies reported on interventions delivered using self-directed computer programs, two studies utilized internet or web-based support programs and six studies used mobile phone interventions. Few studies reported on intervention acceptability or adherence. Those that did generally reported good acceptability, although adherence was variable. Fifteen studies reported significant positive effects for at least one outcome examined including stroke-specific outcomes, physical outcomes, behavioural outcomes and health service use. No studies found an effect for psychosocial wellbeing. ICT-based interventions are likely to provide benefit to stroke survivors and their SPs. However, there is a need for further robustly designed intervention studies that include larger sample sizes, longer follow-up, and outcomes for SPs.Implications for RehabilitationICT-based interventions with minimal clinician supervision are likely to provide some benefits to stroke survivors and their SPs.There is insufficient evidence to allow recommendations to rehabilitation professionals regarding the type, length and intensity of ICT-based interventions for specific targeted outcomes.Rehabilitation professionals should use professional judgement prior to recommending ICT-based interventions to stroke survivors and their SPs.

description: We show through experiments that a transition from laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) regime to a plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) regime can drive electrons up to energies close to the GeV level. Initially, the acceleration mechanism is dominated by the bubble created by the laser in the nonlinear regime of LWFA, leading to an injection of a large number of electrons. After propagation beyond the depletion length, leading to a depletion of the laser pulse, whose transverse ponderomotive force is not able to sustain the bubble anymore, the high energy dense bunch of electrons propagating inside bubble will drive its own wakefield by a PWFA regime. This wakefield will be able to trap and accelerate a population of electrons up to the GeV level during this second stage. Three dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations support this analysis, and confirm the scenario.

description: The angular momentum of molecular cloud cores plays an essential role in the star formation process. However, the time evolution of the angular momentum of molecular cloud cores is still unclear. In this paper, we perform three-dimensional simulations to investigate the time evolution of the angular momentum of molecular cloud cores formed through filament fragmentation. As a result, we find that most of the cores rotate perpendicular to the filament axis. The mean angular momentum of the cores changes by only around 30% during the initial stage of their formation process and then remains almost constant. In addition, we analyze the internal angular momentum structure of the cores. Although the cores gain angular momentum with various directions from the initial turbulent velocity fluctuations of their parent filaments, the angular momentum profile in each core converges to the self-similar solution. We also show that the degree of complexity of the angular momentum structure in a core slightly decreases with time. Moreover, we perform synthetic observations and show that the angular momentum profile measured from the synthetic mean velocity map is compatible with the observations when the filament inclination is taken into account. The present study suggests a theory of core formation from filament fragmentation where the angular momentum structures of the cores are determined by the velocity fluctuation along the filaments and both are compatible with the observations. This theory also provides new insights on the core properties that could be observationally tested.

description: At a time of massive expansion of Marine Protected Areas, there is a need to learn more about their sustainability and success. This study draws on a framework which operationalizes three-dimensions of well-being: material, relational, and subjective, in order to measure the range of benefits and disbenefits experienced by local communities from protected areas. 308 respondents from two coastal Kenyan villages adjacent to the Watamu Marine National Reserve participated in a telephone survey in June and July 2020. The study recorded varying levels of dependency on the marine environment for the livelihoods of residents. A key finding of this study was that benefits reported by participants consistently exceeded disbenefits. A principal components analysis identified that the number of benefits and disbenefits experienced explained the most variance within the dataset. The benefits and disbenefits reported contributed to each dimension of human well-being. The highest ranked benefits reported contributed to subjective well-being (‘better health’, and ‘ability to enjoy a clean and healthy creek and ocean’), and the most frequently reported disbenefits related to relational and material well-being (for instance ‘increased conflict and social tension’ ‘increased poverty’, ‘fewer supplies of food’). Practical local conservation efforts can address relational disbenefits through better partnership working, and material disbenefits by supporting pro-conservation, alternative livelihoods. The findings demonstrate the relevance of understanding social trends for marine protected area governance and management. The paper offers insights into how fundamental relations between protected marine environments, livelihoods, and well-being may affect the perceptions and success of conservation initiatives amongst local communities.

description: While deep learning methods hitherto have achieved considerable success in medical image segmentation, they are still hampered by two limitations: (i) reliance on large-scale well-labeled datasets, which are difficult to curate due to the expert-driven and time-consuming nature of pixel-level annotations in clinical practices, and (ii) failure to generalize from one domain to another, especially when the target domain is a different modality with severe domain shifts. Recent unsupervised domain adaptation~(UDA) techniques leverage abundant labeled source data together with unlabeled target data to reduce the domain gap, but these methods degrade significantly with limited source annotations. In this study, we address this underexplored UDA problem, investigating a challenging but valuable realistic scenario, where the source domain not only exhibits domain shift~w.r.t. the target domain but also suffers from label scarcity. In this regard, we propose a novel and generic framework called ``Label-Efficient Unsupervised Domain Adaptation"~(LE-UDA). In LE-UDA, we construct self-ensembling consistency for knowledge transfer between both domains, as well as a self-ensembling adversarial learning module to achieve better feature alignment for UDA. To assess the effectiveness of our method, we conduct extensive experiments on two different tasks for cross-modality segmentation between MRI and CT images. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed LE-UDA can efficiently leverage limited source labels to improve cross-domain segmentation performance, outperforming state-of-the-art UDA approaches in the literature.

description: Let $G$ be a $3$-connected graph. A set $W \subset V(G)$ is contractible if $G(W)$ is connected and $G - W$ is a $2$-connected graph. In 1994, McCuaig and Ota formulated the conjecture that, for any $k \in \mathbb{N}$, there exists $m \in \mathbb{N}$ such that any 3-connected graph $G$ with $v(G) \geqslant m$ has a $k$-vertex contractible set. In this paper we prove that, for any $k \geqslant 5$, the assertion of the conjecture holds if $δ(G) \geqslant \left[ \frac{2k + 1}{3} \right] + 2$.

The authors conducted a detailed analysis of the nine colloquia 1990-2013 and ensuing discussions here. Emphasizes the importance of publishing the materials of colloquia to stimulate innovative and imaginative historical thinking of researchers from different schools and generations within Russia and foreign countries. The article highlights three objectives, the achievement of which was dedicated which held colloquiums work: to facilitate the development of new approaches in the study of history of Russia through joint discussions and constructive critical analysis; to galvanize support and training a new generation of researchers of Russian history in the country and abroad; to ensure the regularity of the conduct of examinations every three years. The authors state that each of the goals has been embodied in practice. A significant place in the article is paid to the characteristics of the crisis of the Soviet historical science in the era of perestroika and exiting the post-Soviet Russian history. Discussion of current problems has clearly shown that domestic and foreign science of history evolved in the direction that history is written by Russian specialists and their foreign colleagues, was mutually complement and valuable. Already to the middle of the 90s of the 20th century, stated in the article, the crisis of the historical science was overcome, as discussed in the course of the discussion groups the problems aroused interest not only among professional historians, but also among representatives of civil society. 9th colloquia, the article says, has engulfed more than 300 scientists from 10 foreign countries and many regions of the Russian Federation, contributed to the development of deep respect for the diversity of methodologies, reflection and learning to do the research of historians important for society in General.

description: Both major galaxies in the Local Group host planar distributions of co-orbiting satellite galaxies, the Vast Polar Structure (VPOS) of the Milky Way and the Great Plane of Andromeda (GPoA). The $Λ$CDM cosmological model did not predict these features. However, according to three recent studies the properties of the GPoA and the flattening of the VPOS are common features among sub-halo based $Λ$CDM satellite systems, and the GPoA can be naturally explained by satellites being acquired along cold gas streams. We point out some methodological issues in these studies: either the selection of model satellites is different from that of the observed ones, or an incomplete set of observational constraints has been considered, or the observed satellite distribution is inconsistent with basic assumptions. Once these issues have been addressed, the conclusions are different: features like the VPOS and GPoA are very rare (each with probability $\lesssim 10^{-3}$, and combined probability $< 10^{-5}$) if satellites are selected from a $Λ$CDM simulation combined with semi-analytic modelling, and accretion along cold streams is no natural explanation of the GPoA. The origin of planar dwarf galaxy structures remains unexplained in the standard paradigm of galaxy formation.

We have been performing a program to investigate the interplay between massive stars and gas in WR HII galaxies using IFS. Here, we highlight some results from the first 3D spectroscopic study of Mrk 178, the closest metal-poor WR HII galaxy, focusing on the origin of the nebular HeII emission and the aperture effects on the detection of WR features.

description: The purposes of this study were to develop a new measure, the Facilitators and Barriers to Physical Activity Scale for People with Mental Illness (FBPAS-MI) and to validate the psychometrics. This study included two phases. In Phase I, a literature review and five focus groups were conducted to develop an item bank. Then, expert consultation and cognitive interviews were used for content validity. In Phase II, 147 participants with severe mental illness were recruited from 10 community-based psychiatric rehabilitation centers in Taiwan to examine the psychometrics. Principal axis factoring method with direct oblique rotation was used to identify the underlying constructs of FBPAS-MI. Concurrent validity, internal consistency and test-retest reliability were examined. The results revealed five domains in the facilitator subscale (15 items) and two domains in the barrier subscale (11 items). Both subscales showed satisfactory internal consistency (all Cronbach’s α >0.80); the concurrent validity and test-retest reliability were established. This study confirmed that the FBPAS-MI is a valid and reliable scale to understand perceived facilitators and barriers to physical activity for severe mental illness. The FBPAS-MI can provide useful information in the development of individualized health promotion program for this population.Implications for RehabilitationThe Facilitators and Barriers to Physical Activity Scale for People with Mental Illness (i.e., FBPAS-MI) is a valid and reliable assessment to examine key factors affecting physical activity participation among people with severe mental illness.Psychiatric rehabilitation practitioners could use the FBPAS-MI to help develop and tailor individualized physical activity promotion programs based on identified facilitators and barriers to activity.

description: We have achieved a significant experimental Rabi-splitting (3.4 meV) for confined polaritons in a planar semiconductor $λ$ microcavity for only a single quantum well (SQW) of GaAs (10 nm) placed at the antinode. The Rabi-splitting phenomena are discussed in detail based on the semiclassical theory, where two coupled harmonic oscillators (excitons and photons) are used to describe the system. In this way, we can obtain the dispersion curve of polaritons, the minimum value for the cavity reflectance and the oscillator strength to reach the strong coupling regime. This approach describes an ensemble of excitons confined in a SQW and includes a dissipation component. The results present a weak coupling regime, where an enhanced spontaneous emission takes place, and a strong coupling regime, where Rabi-splitting in the dispersion curve can be observed. The theoretical results are confronted with experimental data for the reflectance behavior in resonant and off-resonant conditions and present a great accuracy. This allows us to determine the oscillator strength of the confined excitons in the SQW with great precision.

description: Self-intersecting energy band structures in momentum space can be induced by nonlinearity at the mean-field level, with the so-called nonlinear Dirac cones as one intriguing consequence. Using the Qi-Wu-Zhang model plus power law nonlinearity, we systematically study in this paper the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) phase associated with an adiabatic process in the momentum space, with two adiabatic paths circling around one nonlinear Dirac cone. Interestingly, for and only for Kerr nonlinearity, the AB phase experiences a jump of $π$ at the critical nonlinearity at which the Dirac cone appears or disappears, whereas for all other powers of nonlinearity the AB phase always changes continuously with the nonlinear strength. Our results may be useful for experimental measurement of power-law nonlinearity and shall motivate further fundamental interest in aspects of geometric phase and adiabatic following in nonlinear systems.

description: This work aims at improving the current understanding of the interaction between H ii regions and turbulent molecular clouds. We propose a new method to determine the age of a large sample of OB associations by investigating the development of their associated H ii regions in the surrounding turbulent medium. Using analytical solutions, one-dimensional (1D), and three-dimensional (3D) simulations, we constrained the expansion of the ionized bubble depending on the turbulent level of the parent molecular cloud. A grid of 1D simulations was then computed in order to build isochrone curves for H ii regions in a pressure-size diagram. This grid of models allowed to date large sample of OB associations and was used on the H ii Region Discovery Survey (HRDS). Analytical solutions and numerical simulations showed that the expansion of H ii regions is slowed down by the turbulence up to the point where the pressure of the ionized gas is in a quasi-equilibrium with the turbulent ram pressure. Based on this result, we built a grid of 1D models of the expansion of H ii regions in a profile based on Larson laws. The 3D turbulence is taken into account by an effective 1D temperature profile. The ages estimated by the isochrones of this grid agree well with literature values of well-known regions such as Rosette, RCW 36, RCW 79, and M16. We thus propose that this method can be used to give ages of young OB associations through the Galaxy such as the HRDS survey and also in nearby extra-galactic sources.

description: Here a generalised argument showing the existence of the Bloch superselection rule is presented, in response to the recent comment by Sowinski. In light of the role played by the periodic boundary condition, locality and topology in the system, the claim made in the comment is found untenable.

description: Single top quark is mainly produced through the t-channel W boson exchange ${q+b→q′+t}$ at LHC. This process probes Wtb vertex directly and can be used to measure the CKM matrix element $V_{tb}$ or to constrain the bottom quark PDF. The non-factorisable contribution are the last missing piece of the NNLO corrections. In these proceedings, we discuss in a first part the ostensible importance of such corrections and the obtention of the different relevant amplitudes. In the second part, recently published results at the energy of the LHC are compared to new results for proton-proton collisions at ${100TeV}$, the energy of the FCC.

description: CP-violating effects in decays of B mesons offer a wide spectrum of probes for testing the phase structure of the quark-flavour sector of the Standard Model. After a brief discussion of the picture emerging from the current LHC data, the focus will be put on two specific topics: hadronic uncertainties from penguin topologies on measurements of the $B^0_q$-$\bar B^0_q$ mixing phases ($q\in\{d,s\}$), and the U-spin-related decays $B^0_s\to K^+K^-$ and $B^0_d\toπ^+π^-$. Valuable new insights are expected from future studies of CP violation in B decays. For the detection of possible new sources of CP violation, it will be crucial to match the experimental and theoretical precisions and to have a careful look at the underlying assumptions.

description: Despite the fast advances in high-sigma yield analysis with the help of machine learning techniques in the past decade, one of the main challenges, the curse of dimensionality, which is inevitable when dealing with modern large-scale circuits, remains unsolved. To resolve this challenge, we propose an absolute shrinkage deep kernel learning, ASDK, which automatically identifies the dominant process variation parameters in a nonlinear-correlated deep kernel and acts as a surrogate model to emulate the expensive SPICE simulation. To further improve the yield estimation efficiency, we propose a novel maximization of approximated entropy reduction for an efficient model update, which is also enhanced with parallel batch sampling for parallel computing, making it ready for practical deployment. Experiments on SRAM column circuits demonstrate the superiority of ASDK over the state-of-the-art (SOTA) approaches in terms of accuracy and efficiency with up to 10.3x speedup over SOTA methods.

description: Background: Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction is an abnormality in the presence of underlying neurologic disease. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated that storage phase symptoms are the predomi?nant symptoms among people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) is a non-invasive treatment for bladder storage symptoms; however, the potential efcacy of stimulation among PwMS is based on a small number of studies with the absence of high-quality evidence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of TTNS in PwMS using an afordable transcutaneous electrical nerve stimula?tion (TENS) unit. Methods: A total of 23 participants with MS enrolled in the study. The primary outcomes included recruitment/ retention rate, completion of the outcomes and the intervention, adherence to the protocol, adverse events, and acceptability of the intervention. The primary outcomes were assessed using diaries and a satisfaction questionnaire. The secondary outcomes included changes in urinary symptoms and quality of life assessed using a set of validated outcome measures including a 3-day bladder diary, PPIUS, ICIQ-OAB, and KHQ at baseline and post-intervention. Results: Twenty participants completed the study. Three participants (13.04%) withdrew. All 20 participants com?pleted the 6-week intervention and all the outcome measures (100%), with no reported adverse events. Participants were satisfed and found the unit acceptable. Three-day bladder diary showed changes in urinary frequency from a daily median of 10 times to 8 times and daily median urgency changed from 6 times at baseline to 2 times post?intervention. PPIUS showed changes in daily median sever urgency from 3 points (IQR=4) to 1 point (IQR=1) post?intervention. ICIQ-OAB total scores changed from 8 points (IQR=2.25) to 4 points (IQR=2.5) post-intervention. Median and mean scores of KHQ showed a clinical meaningful change of QoL in part-two and part-three of the questionnaire. Conclusions: TTNS is feasible, safe, and acceptable for PwMS. Changes of urinary symptoms scores and QoL post?intervention suggested improvements. Future implications need to consider the treatment protocol including fre?quency of treatment sessions, duration of treatment, and the electrical stimulation parameters as well as the outcome measures followed in the current study for the implementation of the future pilot RCT.

description: The Hamiltonian of electrons interacting with interface phonons in three-barrier resonant tunneling structure is established using the first principles within the models of effective mass and polarization continuum. Using the Green's functions method, the temperature shifts and decay rates of operating electron states are calculated depending on geometric design of three-barrier nano-structure GaAs/Al$_{x}$Ga$_{1-x}$As which is an active region of quantum cascade detector. It is established that independently of the temperature, the energy of quantum transition during the process of electromagnetic field absorption is a nonlinear weakly varying function of the position of the inner barrier with respect to the outer barriers of the structure.

Lipschitz regularity of controls and inversion mapping for a class of smooth extremization problems

description: In the contest of optimal control problems, regularity results for optima are known when addressing fiber-strictly convex Lagrangian. For infinite time horizons, or for settings with infinite dimensional dynamics, the equivalence between minima/maxima and extremals could break down. Commonly, this is due to a loss of convexity/concavity of the cost functional or to a presence of state constraints, in which further controllability assumptions are needed. For many science applications, this a trend is not required, as in energy saving problems. In the present paper, we deal with the set of a functional's extremals subject to end-point restrictions. We consider an affine control system and a cost functional associated to an autonomous Lagrangian. The dynamics is smooth, satisfying the Lie bracket condition, and the functional is assumed merely Fréchet differentiable. Here we provide a regularity result for controls in the context of constrained extremization problems, under weaker conditions on Lagrangian than the not met classical ones. More precisely, we show a characterization for the Lipschitz regularity of controls associated with the extremal trajectories steering two fixed points, assuming the absence of singular controls. As main application, we construct a locally Lipschitz inversion mapping from the ambient space to the set of constrained extremals.
