description: This study examines how the use of open questions in virtual reference interactions  impacts the overall efficiency of the reference interview. Fifty virtual reference  transcripts from the "Ask a Librarian" service at the University of North Carolina's Davis  Library were analyzed to determine whether or not open questions were used. Next, the  total number of interactions between patron and librarian was tabulated. The number of  open questions was divided by the number of total number of interactions to determine an  efficiency value for each transcript. While no conclusive correlation was found between  open questions and efficiency, this study suggests that open questions are still an  effective virtual reference interview strategy and that more research is needed in this area.

description: Human communication is multi-modal; e.g., face-to-face interaction involves auditory signals (speech) and visual signals (face movements and hand gestures). Hence, it is essential to exploit multiple modalities when designing machine learning-based facial expression recognition systems. In addition, given the ever-growing quantities of video data that capture human facial expressions, such systems should utilize raw unlabeled videos without requiring expensive annotations. Therefore, in this work, we employ a multitask multi-modal self-supervised learning method for facial expression recognition from in-the-wild video data. Our model combines three self-supervised objective functions: First, a multi-modal contrastive loss, that pulls diverse data modalities of the same video together in the representation space. Second, a multi-modal clustering loss that preserves the semantic structure of input data in the representation space. Finally, a multi-modal data reconstruction loss. We conduct a comprehensive study on this multimodal multi-task self-supervised learning method on three facial expression recognition benchmarks. To that end, we examine the performance of learning through different combinations of self-supervised tasks on the facial expression recognition downstream task. Our model ConCluGen outperforms several multi-modal self-supervised and fully supervised baselines on the CMU-MOSEI dataset. Our results generally show that multi-modal self-supervision tasks offer large performance gains for challenging tasks such as facial expression recognition, while also reducing the amount of manual annotations required. We release our pre-trained models as well as source code publicly

description: We present a distributed framework for predicting whether a planned reconfiguration step of a modular robot will mechanically overload the structure, causing it to break or lose stability under its own weight. The algorithm is executed by the modular robot itself and based on a distributed iterative solution of mechanical equilibrium equations derived from a simplified model of the robot. The model treats inter-modular connections as beams and assumes no-sliding contact between the modules and the ground. We also provide a procedure for simplified instability detection. The algorithm is verified in the Programmable Matter simulator VisibleSim, and in real-life experiments on the modular robotic system Blinky Blocks.

description: We explore two saddle point inflationary scenarios in the context of higher order corrections related to different generalisations of general relativity. Firstly, we deal with Jordan frame Starobinsky potential, for which we identify a portion of a parameter space of inflection point inflation, which can accommodate all the experimental results. Secondly, we analyse Higgs inflation and more specifically the influence of non-renormalisible terms on the standard quartic potential. All results were verified with the PLANCK 2015 data.

description: A bridge management system (BMS) contains all activities throughout the bridge life cycle, from construction to replacement. It needs to include the identification and the processes of protecting valuable bridges, planning their maintenance activities and ensuring the functionality of the road system and related costs, which is a very rare case. The primary purpose of the bridge management system is to ensure the safety, stability, resilience and functionality of a bridge. In this research, authors developed a new decision-making approach to the sustainable planning of historic road bridge restoration, using an extended version of BMS, Historic Bridge Management System (HBMS), as a tool for creating a database. The approach proposes the preservation of the main characteristics of bridges: resilience, stability, functionality and historical value, using methodologies of artificial intelligence to obtain an objective rating of bridge condition and multicriteria analysis to provide a priority ranking of the bridges. Also, an approach for data collection and analysis is proposed, as well as the model of historic road bridges’ priority ranking for restoration activity. Four groups of stakeholders with their representatives were formed, and the Nominal Group Technique was used to create Goal Hierarchy Structure.

Simultaneous compensation of input delay and state/input quantization for linear systems via switched predictor feedback

description: We develop a switched predictor-feedback law, which achieves global asymptotic stabilization of linear systems with input delay and with the plant and actuator states available only in (almost) quantized form. The control design relies on a quantized version of the nominal predictor-feedback law for linear systems, in which quantized measurements of the plant and actuator states enter the predictor state formula. A switching strategy is constructed to dynamically adjust the tunable parameter of the quantizer (in a piecewise constant manner), in order to initially increase the range and subsequently decrease the error of the quantizers. The key element in the proof of global asymptotic stability in the supremum norm of the actuator state is derivation of solutions' estimates combining a backstepping transformation with small-gain and input-to-state stability arguments, for addressing the error due to quantization. We extend this result to the input quantization case and illustrate our theory with a numerical example.

description: This paper analyzes the moderation effect of government responses on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, proxied by the daily growth in COVID-19 cases and deaths, on the capital market, i.e., the S&P 500 firm’s daily returns. Using the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker, we monitor 16 daily indicators for government actions across the fields of containment and closure, economic support, and health for 180 countries in the period from January 1, 2020 to March 15, 2021. We find that government responses mitigate the negative stock market impact and that investors’ sentiment is sensitive to a firm’s country-specific revenue exposure to COVID-19. Our findings indicate that the mitigation effect is stronger for firms that are highly exposed to COVID-19 on the sales side. In more detail, containment and closure policies and economic support mitigate negative stock market impacts, while health system policies support further declines. For firms with high revenue exposure to COVID-19, the mitigation effect is stronger for government economic support and health system initiatives. Containment and closure policies do not mitigate stock price declines due to growing COVID-19 case numbers. Our results hold even after estimating the spread of the pandemic with an epidemiological standard model, namely, the susceptible-infectious-recovered model.

description: We examine the thin accretion disk behaviors surrounding black holes embedded in cold dark matter halos and scalar field dark matter halos. We first calculate the event horizons and derive the equations of motion and effective potential in black hole geometries with different dark matter halos. We then compute the specific energy, specific angular momentum, and angular velocity of particles moving along circular orbits. We also derive the effective potentials to find the locations of the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) and compare them to the Schwarzschild and Kerr black holes without the dark matter haloes. We also use the observed ISCO of the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, to constrain the dark matter halos.

description: This study describes the results of interviews with members of the American Library Association's Undergraduate Librarians Discussion Group (UGLi) on their library's use of technology. The questions focused on emerging and online technologies that have been implemented to reach the current generation of technologically confident undergraduate students. The results indicate that exploring new technologies is part of the culture of the undergraduate library. While students push for more technology, undergraduate libraries are responding by focusing on instruction, providing online services and creating physical spaces to meet the collaborative and technical needs of their patrons. Innovations include integrating online services and creating reusable learning objects for online instruction. Handheld devices to access library resources and streaming media were applications that undergraduate librarians expect to see in the future. The role of the undergraduate librarian will continue to evolve into a blended approach, combining traditional reference and instruction with technology.

description: Motivated by recent experiments on an antibiotic resistance gene, we investigate genetic interactions between synonymous mutations in the framework of exclusion models of translation. We show that the range of possible interactions is markedly different depending on whether translation efficiency is assumed to be proportional to ribosome current or ribosome speed. In the first case every mutational effect has a definite sign that is independent of genetic background, whereas in the second case the effect-sign can vary depending on the presence of other mutations. The latter result is demonstrated using configurations of multiple translational bottlenecks induced by slow codons.

description: Recent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) for a newly discovered doped one-dimensional (1D) Mott insulator Ba$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_{3+δ}$ proposed the presence of attractive charge interactions between neighboring sites if an 1D Hubbard model is employed to describe the material. On the other hand, long-range repulsive charge interactions were proposed to be crucial for understanding optical excitations of undoped 1D Mott insulators. Motivated by these contrasting proposals, we perform density-matrix renormalization group calculations of the single-particle spectral function as well as dynamical spin and charge structure factors for two kinds of extended 1D Hubbard models. The spectral function for the long-range repulsive model less agrees with the ARPES data as compared with that for the attractive one. The dynamical spin and charge structure factors also exhibit contrasting behaviors between the two models: the attractive model shows less momentum dependence of the integrated weight in the dynamical spin structure factor and more accumulation of the weight on the upper edge of particle-hole-type excitation in the dynamical charge structure factor. These features give a good criterion of an appropriate model for doped 1D Mott insulators, which can be judged by resonant-inelastic x-ray scattering experiments.

description: We consider the problem of global optimization of a function f from very noisy evaluations. We adopt a Bayesian sequential approach: evaluation points are chosen so as to reduce the uncertainty about the position of the global optimum of f, as measured by the entropy of the corresponding random variable (Informational Approach to Global Optimization, Villemonteix et al., 2009). When evaluations are very noisy, the error coming from the estimation of the entropy using conditional simulations becomes non negligible compared to its variations on the input domain. We propose a solution to this problem by choosing evaluation points as if several evaluations were going to be made at these points. The method is applied to the optimization of a strategy for the integration of renewable energies into an electrical distribution network.

description: This study describes a semi-structured interview conducted to evaluate how users with multiple mobile devices choose which device to use.  The interviews were conducted at the Chapel Hill Public Library and University Mall with a total of 21 participants.  Participants were asked to indicate how frequently they used a particular device, depending on the task to perform and the context.  Four follow-up questions asked participants to describe how they originally intended to use their devices, how behavior has changed as they've started using them, if or when they multi-task and to summarize what each device is used for.   Results indicated that smartphones are heavily used for a variety of tasks and users continue to find them increasingly useful for their ease of access and pervasiveness.  Also, tablet users expressed frustration at the limitations of tablet affordances.  More research is needed to determine how self-reporting of usage differs from actual usage.

description: Due to their superior wear and oxidation resistance, Stellite™ coatings are widely used in industrial applications, where the coatings are exposed to high temperature. Common processes for applying Stellite™ coatings include the high-velocity oxy-fuel spraying, laser cladding, and plasma transferred arc welding. Although Stellite™ welding consumables or similar welding consumables in the form of cored wires (CoCr base without industrial property rights) are commercially available, there are hardly any studies on arc-sprayed Stellite™ coatings available in the literature. In this study, the microstructural characteristics of arc-sprayed deposits were investigated, which were produced using a CoCr-based cored wire with addition of 4.5 wt.% tungsten. The produced deposits were examined in its as-sprayed state as well as after exposed to elevated temperatures. The microstructure was scrutinized by means of electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, as well as x-ray diffraction analyses using synchrotron radiation. Tribo-mechanical tests were conducted in order to assess the performance of the arc-sprayed coating. The findings were discussed and compared to those obtained from conventional CoCr-based coatings. It was found that the arc-sprayed CoCr-based coating is predominantly composed of Co-rich, Cr-rich lamellae or lamellae comprising a Co(Cr)-rich solid solution interspersed with various oxides between the individual lamellae. Solid solution hardening serves as dominant strengthening mechanism, while precipitation hardening effects are hardly evident. With regard to the oxidation behaviour, the as-sprayed coating mainly contains CoCr2O4 as well as traces of Co3O4. For heating above 550 °C, coating surface additionally consists of Fe2O3 and Co3O4. In dry sliding experiments, the arc-sprayed CoCr-based coating shows a decreased wear resistance compared to CoCr-based coatings processed by HVOF and PTA, whereas the coefficient of friction (COF) sliding against alumina was similar to the COF observed for the HVOF-sprayed CoCr-based coating, but lower than the COF obtained for the CoCr-based hardfacing alloy deposited by PTA.

Half a century later its algebraic structure was unearthed: Yang-Baxter equation was discovered, as well as its multidimensional generalizations [tetrahedron equation and $d$-simplex equations]. Here we describe a universal method to solve these equations using Clifford algebras. The Yang-Baxter equation ($d=2$), Zamalodchikov's tetrahedron equation ($d=3$) and the Bazhanov-Stroganov equation ($d=4$) are special cases. Our solutions form a linear space. This helps us to include spectral parameters. Potential applications are discussed.

description: This work presents approaches for the estimation of quantities important for the control of the momentum of a humanoid robot. In contrast to previous approaches which use simplified models such as the Linear Inverted Pendulum Model, we present estimators based on the momentum dynamics of the robot. By using this simple yet dynamically-consistent model, we avoid the issues of using simplified models for estimation. We develop an estimator for the center of mass and full momentum which can be reformulated to estimate center of mass offsets as well as external wrenches applied to the robot. The observability of these estimators is investigated and their performance is evaluated in comparison to previous approaches.

description: We revisit the derivation of collinear factorization for Deep Inelastic Scattering at sub-asymptotic values of the four momentum transfer squared, where the masses of the particles participating in the interaction cannot be neglected. By using an inclusive jet function to describe the scattered quark final state, we can restrict the needed parton kinematic approximations just to the four-momentum conservation of the hard scattering process, and explicitly expand the rest of the diagram in powers of the unobserved parton transverse momenta rather than neglecting those. This procedure provides one with more flexibility in fixing the virtuality of the scattered and recoiling partons than in the standard derivation, and naturally leads to scaling variables that more faithfully represent the partonic kinematic at sub-asymptotic energy than the Bjorken's xB variable. We then verify the validity of the obtained factorization formula by considering a diquark spectator model designed to reproduce the main features of electron-proton scattering at large $x_B$ in Quantum Chromo-Dynamics. In the model, the Deep Inelastic Scattering contribution to the cross section can be explicitly isolated and analytically calculated, then compared to the factorized approximation. Limiting ourselves to the leading twist contribution, we then show that use of the new scaling variables maximizes the kinematic range of validity of collinear factorization, and highlight the intrinsic limitations of this approach due to the unavoidably approximate treatment of four momentum conservation in factorized diagrams. Finally, we briefly discuss how these limitations may be overcome by including higher-twist corrections to the factorized calculation.

description: The main purpose of this study is investigating a reliable and convenient model based on Dickens and Quinby-Hunt approach to predict CH4/CO2 gas hydrate equilibrium temperature in presence of organic inhibitors (e.g., methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, glycerol), and electrolyte inhibitors (e.g., NaCl, KCl, NaBr, KBr, CaCl2, CaBr2, MgCl2, EMIM-Cl, BMIM-Cl, BMIM-Br, BMIM-I, BMIM-DCA, EMIM-HSO4, EMIM-EtSO4, and EMIM-MeSO4). This model named as Dickens’ model is an activity-based model and to calculate water activity of organic solutions the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) and Margules was used. Also, Pitzer model was employed to calculate activity of water in electrolyte solutions. A correlation was suggested to determine enthalpy of hydrate dissociation in terms of inhibitor weight percent and equilibrium pressure. Due to no data in open literature, the virial coefficients of Pitzer model in ionic liquid solutions were adjusted. The model results were compared with available experimental data from open literature and observed to be in good agreement with the reported literature.

description: Despite decades of research, the Mpemba Effect challenges scientists, prompting further investigation and refinement of existing hypotheses. This work uses optical tools such as thermography to analyze and study the Mpemba effect on drops. We analyze times and contact angle changes with temperature with an easily controlled experiment. This work contributes to the ongoing discourse surrounding the Mpemba Effect, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and experimental rigor to unravel the complexities of this intriguing phenomenon. A deeper understanding of the Mpemba Effect enhances our knowledge of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics and opens avenues for practical applications in fields such as cryopreservation, meteorology, and materials science.

description: This study provides a solution of the equity premium puzzle. Questioning the validity of the Arrow-Pratt measure of relative risk aversion for detecting the risk behavior of investors under all conditions, a new tool, that is, the sufficiency factor of the model was developed to analyze the risk behavior of investors. The calculations of this newly tested model show that the value of the coefficient of relative risk aversion is 1.033526 by assuming the value of the subjective time discount factor as 0.99. Since these values are compatible with the existing empirical studies, they confirm the validity of the newly derived model that provides a solution to the equity premium puzzle.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of nomenclature on corporate library utilization rates. A telephone survey was conducted focusing on a group of prospective respondents that have been identified as members of the Special Libraries Association and as employees of Fortune 250 corporations. The survey sought general information about the participant's company, such as industry affiliation and number of employees, as well as specific information about the participant's library/information center including name of library/information center and number of annual requests processed. The study sought to discover which organizations, those with names employing the term "library" or those with contemporary non-library names, have higher utilization rates. The findings of the study demonstrate higher utilization rates amongst the group of organizations whose name do not incorporate the term "library".

description: We present a Python implementation for RS-HDMR-GPR (Random Sampling High Dimensional Model Representation Gaussian Process Regression). The method builds representations of multivariate functions with lower-dimensional terms, either as an expansion over orders of coupling or using terms of only a given dimensionality. This facilitates, in particular, recovering functional dependence from sparse data. The code also allows for imputation of missing values of the variables and for a significant pruning of the useful number of HDMR terms. The code can also be used for estimating relative importance of different combinations of input variables, thereby adding an element of insight to a general machine learning method. The capabilities of this regression tool are demonstrated on test cases involving synthetic analytic functions, the potential energy surface of the water molecule, kinetic energy densities of materials (crystalline magnesium, aluminum, and silicon), and financial market data.
