Explaining Contextualized Word Embeddings in Biomedical Research – A Qualitative Investigation
Creators: name: Miletic, Marko
name: Sariyar, Murat
Publisher: name: IOS Press
Year: 2022

description: Contextualized word embeddings proved to be highly successful quantitative representations of words that allow to efficiently solve various tasks such as clinical entity normalization in unstructured texts. In this paper, we investigate how the Saussurean sign theory can be used as a qualitative explainable AI method for word embeddings. Our assumption is that the main goal of XAI is to produce confidence and/or trust, which can be gained through quantitative as well as quantitative approaches. One important result is related to the fact that the differential structure of language as explained by Saussure corresponds to the possibility of adding and subtracting word embeddings. On the other hand, these mathematical structures provide insights into the inner workings of natural language.
Comparative analyses of sub-GeV physics in simulations and data for the COMET experiment
Creators: name: Derveni, Roden
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2024

description: First, software and design updates in COMET’s software suite, ICEDUST, are evaluated holistically, implementing a comparative analysis system to observe the relative differences in particle distributions following large-scale changes. Geant4.10.6 was validated against previous productions. The latest official large-scale Monte-Carlo production, MC6 was found to produce 8.16\% more muons persisting through the transport solenoid, but 16.87\% fewer stopped muons in the Muon Stopping Target; an overall decrease in expected muon stopping efficiency. Next, ICEDUST’s ability to replicate the NA61/SHINE T2K replica target data was evaluated for $\pi^{\pm}$, $K^{\pm}$, and proton distributions. While normalised distributions of simulations seem to fit experimental results well, unormalised data presents consistent factors of difference between experiment and simulation across the distributions for most data bins. Although some of the quoted parameters in simulation are contested in this study, within reason the ICEDUST distributions work well in replicating experimental data, improving on discrepancies noted in the original study. However, P$<1$ GeV/c momenta exhibit the largest differences, necessitating further study in the consideration of the COMET experiment’s sub-GeV focus. Finally, the COMET curved transport solenoid was commissioned in Phase-$\alpha$, analysing simulated and experimental positive pion data. Pion transport was confirmed via the investigation of $\pi^{+} \rightarrow \mu^{+} \rightarrow e^{+}$ decay chains, with $\tau_{\pi^{+}} = 23.4 \pm 2.3$ns for candidate $\pi^{+}$ and $\tau_{\mu^{+}} = 2780 \pm 250$ns for candidate $\mu^{+}$, within expectations of pion and muon lifetimes. The estimated decay chain rate was $14.8^{+2.3}_{-4.1} \times 10^{13}$ per Proton on Target (PoT), within the expectation of $15.8 \pm 0.5 \times 10^{13}$ per PoT from simulation, confirming appropriate estimation of low-energy physics. An exploratory study is also performed on the dependence of pion trajectories on the position and angle of pions exiting the transport solenoid, with a novel Beam Masking system collimating incident pions.

description: Oligonucleotides (or oligos) are small nucleic acid polymers, usually less than 20 bases in length. Oligonucleotides can be made by enzymatic cleavage or more commonly via chemical synthesis with polymerases. Oligos have a number of uses from research to disease diagnosis and recently therapeutics. The wide availability of affordable synthetic single-stranded DNA and RNA has opened the way for routine DNA amplification by PCR. This use of oligonucleotides as primers has revolutionized the study of gene expression and disease processes. Apart from their use as PCR primers, oligonucleotides are used as probes, in situ hybridization, in microarray, and antisense analyses, and even as drug carriers.

description: Calluna vulgaris (heather) is native to Europe, where it dominates several plant communities, but is invasive in countries like Australia and New Zealand (NZ). In its native ranges, including the United Kingdom (UK), heather provides habitat to arthropods of several feeding guilds and recent studies in its invaded and native ranges show that this plant is a prolific producer of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These defensive metabolites can modify the behaviours of neighbouring plant and insect species. However, differences in VOC emissions between growth stages (ontogeny) have not yet been explored. The aim of this study was to explore the role of plant growth stages (pioneer, building and mature) and arthropods on VOC emissions of heather plants on a managed stand in Scotland during the summer season. We applied the contact insecticide deltamethrin to exclude arthropods from half of the tested plants for each growth stage, collected above-ground volatiles from plants in each treatment, and analysed them using gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Data were statistically analysed using sparse partial least square discriminant analysis (sPLS-DA) and general linear models (GLM). Results showed differences in volatile emission between growth stages, whereas the effect of arthropod removal was only observed for plants at the building stage. The results suggest that heather plants display different defence strategies as they mature, showing high phenotypic plasticity. Pioneer plants released fewer, ubiquitous compounds in relatively high amounts, building-unprayed plants were the most prolific VOC emitters showing herbivore-induced responses, and mature plants released a higher number of compounds but not in higher quantity than building plants. Thus, mature plants possibly rely more on mechanical and structural defences. These results highlight the complex and changing nature of heather’s volatile emissions during plant ontogeny and contribute to understanding the chemical ecology of heather in heathland ecosystems.

description: This study focuses on finite-sample inference on the non-linear Bures-Wasserstein manifold and introduces a generalized bootstrap procedure for estimating Bures-Wasserstein barycenters. We provide non-asymptotic statistical guarantees for the resulting bootstrap confidence sets. The proposed approach incorporates classical resampling methods, including the multiplier bootstrap highlighted as a specific example. Additionally, the paper compares bootstrap-based confidence sets with asymptotic confidence sets obtained in the work of Kroshnin et al. [2021], evaluating their statistical performance and computational complexities. The methodology is validated through experiments on synthetic datasets and real-world applications.

description: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore a non-technical overview for leaders and researchers about how to use a communications perspective to better assess, design and use digital health technologies (DHTs) to improve healthcare performance and to encourage more research into implementation and use of these technologies. Design/methodology/approach Narrative overview, showing through examples the issues and benefits of introducing DHTs for healthcare performance and the insights that communications science brings to their design and use. Findings Communications research has revealed the many ways in which people communicate in non-verbal ways, and how this can be lost or degraded in digitally mediated forms. These losses are often not recognized, can increase risks to patients and reduce staff satisfaction. Yet digital technologies also contribute to improving healthcare performance and staff morale if skillfully designed and implemented. Research limitations/implications Researchers are provided with an introduction to the limitations of the research and to how communications science can contribute to a multidisciplinary research approach to evaluating and assisting the implementation of these technologies to improve healthcare performance. Practical implications Using this overview, managers are more able to ask questions about how the new DHTs will affect healthcare and take a stronger role in implementing these technologies to improve performance. Originality/value New insights into the use and understanding of DHTs from applying the new multidiscipline of communications science. A situated communications perspective helps to assess how a new technology can complement rather than degrade professional relationships and how safer implementation and use of these technologies can be devised.

description: Inverse kinematics is the fundamental study of robot motion in space. Usually, the control command for a robot is only given by target position and orientation, in which the motions of the joint motors are found from the inverse kinematics. For the specified position or orientation, there are often multiple inverse kinematics solutions. The traditional method obtains all these solutions and then selects one of them according to some rules, such as minimum energy, shortest distance, shortest time, etc. In this thesis research, weighted multi-objective genetic algorithm (WMOGA) and weighted multi-objective particle swarm optimization (WMOPSO) are developed to solve energy-aware inverse kinematics by considering that the energy consumption of the robot is proportional to the total amount of joint rotations to the target pose. Therefore, the objective functions are proposed based on minimizing the target position error, target orientation error, and total amount of joint rotations to obtain the inverse kinematics solution. The algorithms developed in this thesis use a weighted sum of the multiple objective functions to iterate over a certain range of weights to obtain the inverse kinematics solution within the required error range. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm can be applied to the robotic model with any number of degrees of freedom. The trajectories solved by the proposed WMOGA and WMOPSO algorithms are verified by simulations and validated by the physical robotic arm. The achieved inverse kinematic solutions demonstrate a promising performance and have the potential for applications of the inverse kinematics of robotics.

description: The northern Western Ghats (NWG) – a part of the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka biodiversity hotspot supports tropical forests of conservation priority, due to anthropogenic intensification. Woody species diversity and ecology in NWG is poorly studied, necessitating the knowledge of spatial variability in species and underlying environmental factors, for effective conservation. We described woody plant community composition and related it to climate data across a latitude of 1.4 degrees to obtain information about spatial and environmental variation to support protected area planning. To estimate abundance, importance value index, diversity indices and rank – abundance, we recorded woody species in 144 plots across 12 sites. Elevation, temperature, rainfall, humidity data were related to diversity descriptors in a canonical correspondence analysis. We recorded 10,291 trees representing 187 species of 52 families. Divergent geo-climatic factors were related to distinct plant community structures, elevation and humidity being the most influential drivers of plant diversity and density. Numerous rare species were found restricted to environmentally distinct forests. The wide-ranging environment and corresponding variations in forest community composition across the narrow latitudinal range of the study area revealed the importance of including such gradients in planning future protected areas in the NWG.

description: The Saturday Mothers (Cumartesi Anneleri) are a group that has gathered in Istanbul for a 30-min sit-in every Saturday since 1995 seeking justice for forced disappearances and political murders in Turkey. What started with a group of approximately 30 mainly family and close relatives of those who disappeared has grown to include thousands of articipants. The initial protests were composed predominantly of mothers of victims, but over the past 28 years other relatives, including children, have joined the vigils. In many cases, those children then continue to participate and join the social movement. We are particularly interested in the Saturday Mothers' ability to sustain participation in weekly collective action, including the ways in which intergenerational transmission shapes and encourages this action. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 members of the Saturday Mothers. Analysis of participants' narratives and experiences included three main themes: family as a model, shared experiences, and functions of the movement. Findings highlight the complex interplay between familial influences, collective memory, and the formation of the Saturday Mothers' identity.

Shifts in the swiddens with intensification: what evidence exists for the Trenbath model?
Creators: name: Allen, Tabea Therese

Year: 2018

description: In the humid tropics, smallholder farmers traditionally use shifting cultivation. Increases in population density, intensification and greater market orientation have modified this system. In Cameroon, for example, farmers are recultivating fallows earlier, adopting the use of inorganic fertilisers, herbicides or weeding more frequently, and occasionally incorporating mechanised tillage, precluding the traditional retention of trees in the field. Different models predict the effect of intensification of shifting cultivation systems on soil fertility and fallow vegetation. For example, Trenbath (1985) and more recently Albers and Goldbach (2000), have postulated that with intensification, repeated cropping cycles and shortening fallow phases, a “spline point” will be reached at which tree regeneration fails completely and there will be a regime shift to a grassland domain. However, neither of these models has been tested empirically. Our objectives were: to assess impacts of intensification in shifting cultivation systems on fallow vegetation in the humid and sub-humid tropics; and, to assess how strongly Trenbath’s model is supported by empirical data. A systematic review inWeb of Science was conducted for primary literature sources and articles analysing these effects. Most studies derived from Brazil and Madagascar with continental Africa underrepresented. With intensification, a decrease in fallow biomass was observed. Changes in species richness were not discernible, however, intensification decreased species evenness. This can partly be attributed to an increase in herb-dominance with intensified shifting cultivation, and a shift in species composition. Tree density decreased with intensification with a shift in composition towards those with a high sprouting capacity and vegetative propagation. Evidence that increased number of cropping cycles, longer cropping duration, intensified tillage practices with the application of fertilisers led to permanent grasslands, as suggested by Trenbath, was not found. Although an irreversible change was not observed, the intensification of shifting cultivation decreased biomass accumulation rates of fallows worldwide.

description: Most Rubiaceae species are hermaphroditic with outcrossing often promoted by distyly and self-incompatibility, as well as by andromonoecy and dioecy in some species. However, cleistogamy has been reported in three genera, including Richardia. To characterise the reproductive biology of Richardia brasiliensis (Rubiaceae), a ruderal herb native to southern USA, Central America and large parts of South America, and determine if it exhibits preanthesis cleistogamy. In three natural populations of R. brasiliensis in Argentina, floral processes were monitored in the flower-bud stage and during anthesis until senescence. In addition, stigma receptivity and pollen viability were determined at these different floral stages in two populations, and experimental controlled pollinations were performed to check for spontaneous self-pollination, natural pollination and apomixis. Floral visiting insects were observed and collected for identification. Autonomous self-pollination occurred when flowers were in bud and stigmas were receptive, with ovules fertilised prior to anthesis. These flowers were protogynous and functionally cleistogamous, though later passed through a chasmogamous phase when flowers opened and were visited by diverse insects. Our study demonstrates that preanthesis cleistogamy occurs in flower-buds of R. brasiliensis, indicating that this mode of self-pollination and self-fertilisation may be more common in Rubiaceae than previously realised. Flowers of Richardia brasiliensis exhibit two striking features in the flower-bud stage: stigmatic receptivity and self-pollination causing preanthesis cleistogamy to occur.Pollen grain germination on distinctly enlarged papillae cells and pollen tube growth in the style to the ovary were observed in 85% of fixed flower-buds.During anthesis, flowers are visited by a diversity of insects collecting pollen and nectar (Orders Hymenoptera (Apidae, Formicidae and Trigonalidae) and Diptera (Syrphidae)), but due to preanthesis cleistogamy most reproduction occurs via self-fertilisation.

description: Short tandem repeat (STR) markers are widely used in forensic DNA analysis due to their ability to provide automated and standardised typing. However, incorrect STR typing can have a significant impact on forensic outcomes. In this study, we detected drop-out alleles at the SE33 locus in a putative father-son pair using the Microreader™ 28 A ID System. This result could lead to a false conclusion of non-paternity. To investigate the cause of the drop-out alleles, we developed a nest and touch-down PCR program for Sanger sequencing of the SE33 locus. Subsequently, we investigated the mutation frequency in 300 unrelated individuals and reviewed the results of 429 paternity tests. The results showed that the frequency of the G > T mutation at this locus was less than 0.01, which is a novel and rare mutation. Our analysis revealed a novel G > T mutation in the primer-binding region of both samples, which was a rare single-nucleotide mutation site in the Chinese population. This variation was found to be responsible for the drop-out alleles observed in the samples. Our findings have important implications for optimising primer design and constructing DNA databases for forensic analysis.

description: Aim To understand parents’ experiences and needs during a child's end‐of‐life care at home and to identify systemic factors that influence its provision. Background A child's end‐of‐life phase is an extremely difficult time for the whole family. Parents have specific needs, especially when they care for a dying child at home. Design Concurrent embedded mixed methods design. Methods This sub‐study of the nationwide survey, ‘Paediatric End‐of‐Life Care Needs in Switzerland’ (2012–2015) included 47 children who received EOL care at home from 2011–2012. We extracted quantitative data from patients’ medical charts and obtained information via parental questionnaire and then compared parents whose child died at home or in hospital by computing generalized estimation equations. We thematically analysed interviews with parents who provided EOL care at home. Results Parents created an intimate lifeworld and a sense of normality for the child at home. They constantly balanced the family's lifeworld with the requirements and challenges posed by the outside world. This work exhausted parents. Parental ‘readiness’ and social support drove EOL care for children at home. Parents needed practical help with housekeeping and had negative experiences when dealing with insurance. In only 34.8% of cases was a child's EOL home care supported by paediatric palliative care team. Conclusion Paediatric end‐of‐life care at home is only feasible if parents make extraordinary efforts. If family‐centred end‐of‐life home care is provided by a hospital‐based paediatric palliative home care team, which includes paid housekeeping help and psychological support, parents' needs could be better met.

description: Zunehmend wird versucht, Laubholz im Bauwesen einzusetzen, um größere Mengen stofflich zu verwerten und gleichzeitig die im Vergleich zum Nadelholz verbesserten mechanischen Eigenschaften des Laubholzes konstruktiv zu nutzen. Für die teilweise dazu erforderlichen Berechnungen der Verformung von Platten oder auch von Spannungen in Brettschichtholz (z. B. Vorausberechnung von eventuellen Delaminierungen oder der Alterung von Klebverbindungen) ist die Kenntnis der richtungsabhängigen Kennwerte des Holzes in den Hauptachsen längs, radial und tangential erforderlich. Dies betrifft die elastischen Kennwerte (E‐Modul, Schubmodul, Querdehnzahl), die Festigkeiten (auf Zug, Druck, Biegung und Scherung) und auch die Kennwerte für den Feuchte‐ und Wärmetransport (Diffusionskoeffizient, Wärmeleitfähigkeit). Für alle Kennwerte ist zudem die Kenntnis der Abhängigkeit von der Holzfeuchte und der Zeit notwendig. Ausgewählte Parameter für die Richtungs‐ und Feuchteabhängigkeit bei Rotbuchenholz werden für E‐Modul, Schubmodul und Querdehnzahl sowie die Wärmeleitfähigkeit und die Diffusionskonstante vorgestellt. Die Ergebnisse fassen an der ETH Zürich, Arbeitsgruppe Holzphysik, durchgeführte Arbeiten zur Thematik zusammen.
description: Hardwood is tried to be increasingly established in building industry in order to realise a larger material output and to take at once into account the structural advantage of the improved mechanical properties of hardwood in comparison to softwood. For the partially required calculations therefore of stress and strain in boards and glued‐laminated timbers (for example prognosis of potential delamination and aging of glued joints), it is essential to know the directional specific values of wood in the directions longitudinal, radial and tangential. This concerns the elastic specific values (YOUNG's modulus, shear modulus, POISSON's ratio), the specific values of strength (tension, compression, bending, shear) and also these of mass and heat flux (diffusion coefficient, thermal conductivity). Additionally, it is necessary to know the dependencies from moisture and duration for all specific values. Selected parameters for European beech wood will be presented concerning the dependencies of YOUNG's modulus, shear modulus, POISSON's ratio, thermal conductivity and diffusion coefficient from direction and moisture. The results summarize investigations on this topic realised at the Wood Physics Group of ETH Zurich.
