description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The offshore wind industry has grown rapidly, mirrored by an expansion and evolution of environmental survey techniques. Observer-based techniques have been supplemented, and sometimes superseded, by technology-based tools, each with strengths and weaknesses. It is imperative that developers choose the most appropriate survey tools, fully understanding the best methods for answering the relevant questions. Similarly, regulatory decisions must be informed by full comprehension of surrounding issues. Differences in bias and precision between survey methods and platforms make calibrations complicated, and best avoided if clear and far-sighted survey strategies are identified from the outset.

description: College and university campuses are vibrant places, full of change in terms of technology, leadership, and purpose. Two decades into the twenty-first century, academic archivists are faced with the challenges of today, yesterday, and tomorrow. The struggle between completing analog-based archival work while building digital collections with the latest and greatest tools is all too real. This session features three university archivists, at different stages of their careers, who will discuss how changes in practice in the past twenty years has affected their archives programs and shaped the future. The moderator will contextualize the session by reviewing several predictions about the future role of archivists made in the book Academic Archives (Neal-Schuman, 2012).
Leptogenesis and Bi-Unitary Parametrization of Neutrino Yukawa Matrix
Creators: name: Siyeon, Kim
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyze the neutrino Yukawa matrix by considering three constraints: the out-of-equilibrium condition of lepton number violating process responsible for leptogenesis, the upper bound of branching ratio of lepton flavor violating decay, and the prediction of large mixing angles using the see-saw mechanism. In a certain parametrization with bi-unitary transformation, it is shown that the structure which satisfies the constraints can be characterized by only seven types of Yukawa matrices. The constraint of the branching ratio of LFV turns out as a redundant one after applying other two constraints. We propose that this parametrization can be the framework in which the CP asymmetry of lepton number violating process can be predicted in terms of observable neutrino parameters at low energy, if necessary, under assumptions following from a theory with additional symmetries. There is an appealing model of neutrino Yukawa matrix considering the CP asymmetry for leptogenesis and the theoretical motivation to reduce the number of free parameters.

description: This topical review focuses on solid-state quantum-light sources which are fabricated in a deterministic fashion. In this framework we cover quantum emitters represented by semiconductor quantum dots, colour centres in diamond, and defect-/strain-centres in two-dimensional materials. First, we introduce the topic of quantum-light sources and non-classical light generation for applications in photonic quantum technologies, motivating the need for the development of scalable device technologies to push the field to real-world applications. In the second part, we summarize material systems hosting quantum emitters in the solid-state. The third part reviews deterministic fabrication techniques and comparatively discusses their advantages and disadvantages. The techniques are classified in bottom-up approaches, exploiting the site-controlled positioning of the quantum emitters themselves, and top-down approaches, allowing for the precise alignment of photonic microstructures to pre-selected quantum emitters. Special emphasis is put on the progress achieved in the development of in-situ techniques, which significantly pushed the performance of quantum-light sources towards applications. Additionally we discuss hybrid approaches, exploiting pick-and-place techniques or wafer-bonding. The fourth part presents state-of-the-art quantum-dot quantum-light sources based on the fabrication techniques presented in the previous sections, which feature engineered functionality and enhanced photon collection efficiency. The article closes by highlighting recent applications of deterministic solid-state-based quantum-light sources in the fields of quantum communication, quantum computing, and quantum metrology, and discussing future perspectives in the field of solid-state quantum-light sources.

Underutilized Space : A Migrating Social Program
Creators: name: Khera, Jivan
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Global forces have shaped the way modern cities are structured. This has resulted in spatial inefficiencies and a decrease in liveability. The global market demands a commodity based typology to be built into the realestate market while ignoring the impacts on local communities. This has two major repercussions; the production of underutilized spaces that underserve the local community, and forcing those who cannot afford the new lifestyle out. It is possible to combat these forces by understanding them holistically and harnessing the potential of these underutilized spaces through ingenuity in programming, siting, and material application. As people are displaced, they often lack a voice and have no means of upwards mobilization. The key to combating these issues is to inspire empathy in urban citizens to relate to one another regardless of their condition. Those who depend on the underutilized spaces as their residence or means of economic autonomy are often characterised as having an inherently stigmatic nature. This characterization further defines the spaces that these people inhabit. By facilitating a dialogue between all urban citizens, it can create an understanding of the overarching condition. These underutilized spaces are often strictly utilitarian, overlooked, or have become derelict through disuse. It is through layering program in a temporal and physical nature that these spaces can become inviting and establish an identity within the urban fabric. By understanding the potential of these spaces, regardless of the type of neighbourhood they are present in, it becomes possible to have a net positive effect on the community. This can be done by adding an amenity, a place of respite, or a space of production. The underutillized space within the city presents the opportunity to facilitate the discussion about the conditions that all urban citizens face while becoming inviting, and programatically layered. By utilizing this space, and programing it to promote the dialogue between urban citizens, these factors deteriorating the livability in the urban environment can be mitigated.

description: The logarithmic Riemann surface Sigma_{log} is a classical holomorphic 1-manifold. It lives into R^4 and induces a covering space of C - 0 defined by exp. This paper suggests a geometric construction of it, derived as the limit of a sequence of vector fields extending exp suitably to embeddings of C into R^3, which turn to be helicoid surfaces living into C x R. In the limit we obtain a bijective complex exponential on the covering space in question, and thus a well-defined complex logarithm. In addition, the helicoids are diffeomorphic (not bi-holomorphic) copies of Sigma_{log} as smooth realizations living into R^3, without obstruction. Our approach is purely geometrical and does not employ any tools provided by the complex structure, thus holomorphy is no longer necessary to obtain constructively this Riemann surface Sigma_{log}. Moreover, the differential geometric framework we adopt affords explicit generalization on submanifolds of C^m x \R^m and certain corollaries are derived.

description: Student and non-archivist employees and interns are a fundamental part of the archival workforce that often fall into the background. While training these rising archivists can be a challenge, these relationships also provide archival professionals a chance to develop projects that address backlogs, while also providing educational opportunities to potential future colleagues. At the same time, these projects give us the chance to see our processes with fresh eyes and more diverse ideas. In public and academic library settings, these experiences help expose emerging archivists to the daily workload of archives professionals. This presentation will showcase examples of how three distinct organizations have integrated students and non-archivists into their processing, exhibition, and outreach activities.

description: We improve the recently developed functional renormalization group (fRG) for impurities and boundaries in Luttinger liquids by including renormalization of the two-particle interaction, in addition to renormalization of the impurity potential. Explicit flow-equations are derived for spinless lattice fermions with nearest neighbor interaction at zero temperature, and a fast algorithm for solving these equations for very large systems is presented. We compute spectral properties of single-particle excitations, and the oscillations in the density profile induced by impurities or boundaries for chains with up to 1000000 lattice sites. The expected asymptotic power-laws at low energy or long distance are fully captured by the fRG. Results on the relevant energy scales and crossover phenomena at intermediate scales are also obtained. A comparison with numerical density matrix renormalization results for systems with up to 1000 sites shows that the fRG with the inclusion of vertex renormalization is remarkably accurate even for intermediate interaction strengths.

title: Role of excitotoxicity in the degeneration of motor neurones in ALS
Creators: name: Tortarolo, Massimo
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2005

description: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurological disorder involving selective degeneration of motor neurones. In a proportion of patients, ALS is caused by mutations in copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1), and mice expressing these mutants develop a syndrome that resembles human ALS. Using SOD1G93A transgenic mice, the role of glutamate-mediated toxicity and related intracellular pathways in motor neurone death has been investigated. GluR2 AMPA receptor subunits were decreased in spinal motor neurones of SOD1G93A mice before symptom onset. Since GluR2-lacking receptors are highly permeable to Ca2+, a known trigger of excitotoxic neuronal death, this phenomenon may have a pathogenic role. In support of this, treatment with an AMPA antagonist, ZK-187638, ameliorated motor symptoms and prolonged the survival of SOD1G93A mice. GluR2-lacking receptors are also permeable to zinc, which can be highly toxic. In situ hybridisation showed low expression of the zinc extruder ZnT-1 on motor neurones, which may contribute to their vulnerability to excitotoxicity. Expression of glutamate transporters on astrocytes may also contribute to excitotoxic motor neurone death. In transgenic mice and in astrocytes transfected with SOD1G93A, immunocytochemistry. Western blotting, in situ hybridisation and RT-PCR revealed down-regulation of GLT-1 protein, but not mRNA in astrocytes. However, the time-course in mice suggests that GLT-1 downregulation is not a primary pathological event. Activation of p38MAPK, a kinase putatively involved in glutamate mediated neurotoxicity, was observed in motor neurones at the onset of the disease, but SB 239063, a p38MAPK inhibitor, did not ameliorate motor dysfunction or survival of SOD1G93A mice.
 Altogether the results suggest that AMPA receptor mediated excitotoxicity is a primary cause of motor neurone degeneration in ALS. These observations may contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies for this devastating disease.

description: In hierarchical models of structure formation, the first galaxies form in low-mass dark matter potential wells, probing the behavior of dark matter on kiloparsec (kpc) scales. Even though these objects are below the detection threshold of current telescopes, future missions will open an observational window into this emergent world. In this Letter we investigate how the first galaxies are assembled in a `fuzzy' dark matter (FDM) cosmology where dark matter is an ultralight $\sim 10^{-22}$~eV boson and the primordial stars are expected to form along dense dark matter filaments. Using a first-of-its-kind cosmological hydrodynamical simulation, we explore the interplay between baryonic physics and unique wavelike features inherent to FDM. In our simulation, the dark matter filaments show coherent interference patterns on the boson de Broglie scale and develop cylindrical soliton-like cores which are unstable under gravity and collapse into kpc-scale spherical solitons. Features of the dark matter distribution are largely unaffected by the baryonic feedback. On the contrary, the distributions of gas and stars, which do form along the entire filament, exhibit central cores imprinted by dark matter -- a smoking gun signature of FDM.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Marine fish in culture, such as Atlantic cod, will mature in the seawater cage farms and thereby spawn and spread fertilized eggs into the surrounding water. The present study investigates the fate of such eggs originating from coastal Atlantic cod, kept in net pens during the spawning season in the small fjord system Heimarkspollen in Austevoll on the west coast of Norway. The fjord is known to be a spawning ground for wild cod. Use of a genetically marked farmed cod strain made it possible to identify the origin of collected cod larvae, juveniles, and adults in the wild environment. Eggs were released in the spawning seasons from 2006 to 2008 in Heimarkspollen, and a sampling program was initiated to monitor the occurrence of genetic marked cod at various life stages. Cod larger than 30 cm were tagged by T-Floy after muscle biopsy sampling, and then released back to the fjord. Substantial fractions of genetically marked cod larvae (6-36%) were collected in Heimarkspollen during the three spawning seasons. However, recovery of genetically marked juvenile cod within the expected size ranges was low (0.4-5.8% of catches). Largest genetically marked cod caught from Heimarkspollen in 2011 was 62 cm, which is well into the size of mature coastal cod. In the spawning season 2011, genetically marked cod larvae (2.4%) were again found, documenting recruitment to the spawning population in the area and successful reproduction. Interbreeding between cod of farmed origin and wild cod has so far not been indicated.

description: Dual averaging-type methods are widely used in industrial machine learning applications due to their ability to promoting solution structure (e.g., sparsity) efficiently. In this paper, we propose a novel accelerated dual-averaging primal-dual algorithm for minimizing a composite convex function. We also derive a stochastic version of the proposed method which solves empirical risk minimization, and its advantages on handling sparse data are demonstrated both theoretically and empirically.
A search for ferromagnetism in transition-metal-doped piezoelectric ZnO

description: We present the results of a computational study of ZnO in the presence of Co and Mn substitutional impurities. The goal of our work is to identify potential ferromagnetic ground states within the (Zn,Co)O or (Zn,Mn)O material systems that are also good candidates for piezoelectricity. We find that, in contrast to previous results, robust ferromagnetism is not obtained by substitution of Co or Mn on the Zn site, unless additional carriers (holes) are also incorporated. We propose a practical scheme for achieving such $p$-type doping in ZnO.

description: Recently, a novel 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity has been proposed by Glavan and Lin [Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 081301 (2020)] by rescaling the coupling $α\rightarrow α/(D-4)$ and taking the limit $D\rightarrow 4$ at the level of equations of motion. This prescription, though was shown to bring non-trivial effects for some spacetimes with particular symmetries, remains mysterious and calls for scrutiny. Indeed, there is no continuous way to take the limit $D\rightarrow 4$ in the higher $D$-dimensional equations of motion because the tensor indices depend on the spacetime dimension and behave discretely. On the other hand, if one works with four-dimensional spacetime indices the contribution corresponding to the Gauss-Bonnet term vanishes identically in the equations of motion. A necessary condition (but may not be sufficient) for this procedure to work is that there is an embedding of the four-dimensional spacetime into the higher $D$-dimensional spacetime so that the equations in the latter can be properly interpreted after taking the limit. In this note, working with 2D Einstein gravity, we show several subtleties when applying the method used in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 081301 (2020)].

description: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are key species in astrophysical environments in which vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photons are present, such as star-forming regions. The interaction with these VUV photons governs the physical and chemical evolution of PAHs. Models show that only large species can survive. However, the actual molecular properties of large PAHs are poorly characterized and the ones included in models are only an extrapolation of the properties of small and medium-sized species. We discuss here experiments performed on trapped ions including some at the SOLEIL VUV beam line DESIRS. We focus on the case of the large dicoronylene cation, C48H20+ , and compare its behavior under VUV processing with that of smaller species. We suggest that C2H2 is not a relevant channel in the fragmentation of large PAHs. Ionization is found to largely dominate fragmentation. In addition, we report evidence for a hydrogen dissociation channel through excited electronic states. Although this channel is minor, it is already effective below 13.6 eV and can significantly influence the stability of astro-PAHs. We emphasize that the competition between ionization and dissociation in large PAHs should be further evaluated for their use in astrophysical models.

One paper will cover the legacy of activism found at the University of the District of Columbia and its predecessor institutions. Another paper will address the intersection of environmental and community activism as documented in the University of Pittsburgh Archives. The third paper will explore the relation of labor organizing, urban protest, and archives as captured in the Kheel Center for Labor-Management Documentation & Archives, Cornell University.

In such a way some usual additional assumptions are shown to be fulfilled. In addition, for all quantities power expansion near horizon and thus explicit insight of the limiting procedure is given. More important the near horizon conformal symmetry proposed by Carlip together with its consequences on microscopic entropy is given a clear geometric origin.

title: The Captive Behaviour and Reproduction of Goeldi's Monkey Callimico goeldii
Creators: name: Carroll, John Bryan
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1992

description: Behaviour and reproduction of Goeldi's monkey Callimico goeldii were studied over a 5-year period at the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust. The investigation comprised a study of female reproductive hormones during pregnancy and the non-pregnant phase; a study of pair bonding in newly-established pairs, long-established pairs and breeding pairs rearing infants; a study of bonding in experimentally established male-female-female trios; and a study of infant rearing.

 The major urinary oestrogen metabolite was oestrone-3-glucuronide, and it was a good indicator of ovarian cycles and pregnancy. Ovarian cycle length was 24.1 ± 0.9 days. Gestation length was 145-152 days. Female proceptive behaviour was significantly elevated during ovulatory periods, but no significant change in male sexual behaviour was found across the female cycle, possibly indicating that ovulation was hidden from the male. In two of the three male-female-female trios both females conceived, but infants were reared in only one trio. In the third trio, reproductive suppression of the subordinate female occurred. All three trios were disbanded following serious fights between the females.

 Bond-promoting behaviour was primarily performed by the male and was reduced significantly in established pairs compared to new pairs. During the first six weeks of infant rearing bond-promoting behaviours were elevated almost to those of new pairs, although the infant, rather than the female, may have been the focus of the male's attention. There was little evidence for a lasting pair bond. In the male-female-female trios, the male associated with one female more than the other as measured by approaches, time in proximity and grooming. The preferred female was not necessarily the 'winner' of the fight between the two females.

 The female was the predominant infant caretaker, undertaking exclusive care for three to seven weeks. Even after extra-maternal care began, the female remained the major caretaker. Use of maternal time-budget modelling suggested that seven weeks may be the maximum time that a female can rear the infant unaided, coinciding with the approximate time of doubling of infant body mass. There was no evidence of competition among carers to carry the infant and most transfers were infant-initiated. The benefits of extra-maternal care were discussed.

 Allometric analysis of New World monkeys showed that Callimico may be unique in having a single relatively small infant. The other species considered have either a relatively large single infant, or two relatively small infants. Theories concerning the evolution of twinning among the Platyrrhini were discussed.

description: Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces (BFSs) are topologically protected regions of zero energy excitations in a superconductor whose dimension equals that of the underlying normal state Fermi surface. Examples of Hamiltonians exhibiting this "ultranodal" phase are known to preserve charge-conjugation ($C$) and parity ($P$) but break time-reversal ($T$). In this work, we provide examples of model Hamiltonians that do not necessarily preserve this symmetry pattern but have well-defined sign-changing Pfaffians yielding BFSs. While their topological character has not been recognized previously, some of the models we present have been extensively studied in prior literature. We further examine thermodynamic and electronic properties arising from the ultranodal state. In particular, we study the effect of a weak Zeeman field close to the topological transition and propose distinguishing features of BFSs using residual specific heat and tunneling conductance. Our calculation of the superfluid density in a toy multi-band model indicates a window of interband pairing strength where BFSs are stable with a positive superfluid density. We also present additional signatures of BFSs in spin-polarized spectral weight and total magnetization measurements.

description: The mountain area between the Mantiqueira and Espinhaço ranges of south-eastern Brazil is of special interest for biologists by sheltering headwaters of two of the largest South American river basins, as well as comprising sections of two main world biodiversity hotspots. Mineral exploitation activities have caused great environmental impact, but biological inventories have demonstrated a rich biota with some organisms still poorly known. We herein analyse catfishes of the Trichomycterus reinhardti species group, endemic to this area. With the objective of inferring species limits, we combine morphological variation to unilocus coalescent methods of species delimitation using fragments of the mitochondrial genome (total of 1924 bp) for 38 individuals collected in 14 sites. The phylogenetic analysis supported a clade endemic to the Rio São Francisco basin and neighbouring Rio Doce headwaters, Espinhaço mountain range, and another one, endemic to the Rio Grande drainage, Rio Paraná basin, between Mantiqueira and Canastra mountain ranges. This biogeographic pattern may be explained by geological evidence indicating that the upper Rio Grande drainage was connected to the upper Rio São Francisco basin until the Middle Miocene, instead of being part of the Rio Paraná basin as today. The integrative analysis supported a total of 10 species, six of which are new and here described. Interestingly, the small areas inhabited by species here delimited are highly coincident with the distribution range of other mountain fish species. High level of local species endemism is possibly related to the uncommon regional relief, with small subdrainages crossed by transversal hills as a result of geological gaps, supporting a complex palaeogeographic scenario favouring isolation of taxa in small areas. Under a conservation perspective, these small areas of endemism for mountain fishes deserve special attention due to the process of environmental decline along centuries in the region. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:0E3981E9-D7A9-4C9B-B56A-85621F33A7CB

description: We apply a phenomenological approach based on nonlinear Regge trajectories to glueball states. The parameters, i.e., intercept and threshold, or trajectory termination point beyond which no bound states should exist, are determined from pomeron (scattering) data. Systematic errors inherent to the approach are discussed. We then predict masses of glueballs on the tensor trajectory. For comparison, the approach is applied to available quenched lattice data. We find a discrepancy between the lattice based thresholds and the pomeron threshold that we extract from data.

description: We have studied a variety of different disordered materials, including molecular and ionic liquids, supercooled liquids and glasses, ionic conductors, and doped semiconductors, in ac electromagnetic fields over an exceptional broad dynamic range including the rarely investigated GHz to THz region. We show that all classes of disordered matter exhibit an astonishingly similar response: In addition to Jonscher's time-honored "Universal Dielectric Response", a superlinear power-law increase of the frequency-dependent conductivity shows up bridging the gap between the classical dielectric and the infrared region. We demonstrate that the universal dielectric behavior of disordered matter extends up to much higher frequencies than thought until now and covers the range from ultra-low (mHz) to phonon (THz) frequencies.

description: Additional file 3: Fig. S3. Giemsa stain of VSG+ cells sorted from non-synchronized and synchronized culture of P. falciparum. (A) Morphology of three distinct populations observed in the non-synchronized culture (Fig. 5b, left panel): (1) cells having small size with various granularity (approximately 0–45 K of FSC-A, and 30–170 K of SSC-A); (2) cells having a relatively large size with high granularity (approximately 45–185 K of FSC-A, and 75–170 K of SSC-A); and, (3) cells having a relatively larger size with low granularity (approximately 45–185 K of FSC-A, and 20–75 K of SSC-A). Based on the intensity of VSG and microscopic images, the population number 1, 2, and 3 in the upper panel of Fig. 5b are schizonts, trophozoites, and ring forms, respectively. (B) Morphology of one minor (indicated as 1) and one major (indicated as 2) population observed in the synchronized culture (Fig. 5b, right panel): (1) cells having high granularity (more than 160 K of SSC-A); and (2) cells having with low granularity (lower than 160 K of SSC-A). Both had a similar size (50–150 K of FSC-A). Based on microscopic images, majority of the VSG+ cells with more than 160-K SSC-A are infected erythrocytes containing multiple ring forms, and they had VSG intensity of 11,578; whereas, the majority of VSG+ cells with lower than 160 K SSC-A are infected erythrocytes with single ring forms and they had VSG intensity of 10,182.
Rural Metabolism and the Future Small Town

description: Metabolism: The chemical process that occurs within a living organism necessary to maintain life. It is the function by which internal mechanisms navigate varying inputs and outputs of energy, material, and resources to achieve an optimal state in which to thrive. For a small community, metabolism is the capacity to self-organize and flourish, regardless of external realities that are uncertain, and at times, in disrepair. Grounded in the rural context, ‘Rural Metabolism’ challenges the critique that small, remote communities are becoming stagnant and obsolete in an increasingly urbanizing world. This project seeks to articulate a design process that engages with small communities. The approach emphasizes participation of designers in the community beyond traditional means of engagement workshops and site visits, borrowing from ethnographic research methods to illustrate the power of individual narrative and its role in the design process. Methods of engaging with the community of study, Quadra Island, will take various forms, through gathering and representing qualitative information, sharing resources and inquiries for evaluation and critique by locals, learning from the successes of other designers working in small communities, informal conversations, and presentations at local community events. The end goal is to celebrate individual identity and articulate its value in the collective image of a place. Ultimately, engaging in this process requires that designers working in small communities begin to occupy the role of the facilitator and communicator, enabling unlikely relationships between stakeholders and engaging locals in unlikely conversations. Ideally, this process will inspire a renewed attention to detail, locale, material, and craft, providing a language for locals to participate in the metabolic tendencies of their community and imagine new relationships with their built environment.

description: The development of low-cost sensors and novel calibration algorithms offer new opportunities to supplement existing regulatory networks to measure air pollutants at a high spatial resolution and at hourly and sub-hourly timescales. We use a random forest model on data from a network of low-cost sensors to describe the effect of land use features on local-scale air quality, extend this model to describe the hourly-scale variation of air quality at high spatial resolution, and show that deviations from the model can be used to identify particular conditions and locations where air quality differs from the expected land-use effect. The conditions and locations under which deviations were detected conform to expectations based on general experience.

description: In e-commerce, user representations are essential for various applications. Existing methods often use deep learning techniques to convert customer behaviors into implicit embeddings. However, these embeddings are difficult to understand and integrate with external knowledge, limiting the effectiveness of applications such as customer segmentation, search navigation, and product recommendations. To address this, our paper introduces the concept of the customer persona. Condensed from a customer's numerous purchasing histories, a customer persona provides a multi-faceted and human-readable characterization of specific purchase behaviors and preferences, such as Busy Parents or Bargain Hunters.
 This work then focuses on representing each customer by multiple personas from a predefined set, achieving readable and informative explicit user representations. To this end, we propose an effective and efficient solution GPLR. To ensure effectiveness, GPLR leverages pre-trained LLMs to infer personas for customers. To reduce overhead, GPLR applies LLM-based labeling to only a fraction of users and utilizes a random walk technique to predict personas for the remaining customers. We further propose RevAff, which provides an absolute error $ε$ guarantee while improving the time complexity of the exact solution by a factor of at least $O(\frac{ε\cdot|E|N}{|E|+N\log N})$, where $N$ represents the number of customers and products, and $E$ represents the interactions between them. We evaluate the performance of our persona-based representation in terms of accuracy and robustness for recommendation and customer segmentation tasks using three real-world e-commerce datasets. Most notably, we find that integrating customer persona representations improves the state-of-the-art graph convolution-based recommendation model by up to 12% in terms of NDCG@K and F1-Score@K.

description: Reiter's original definition of default logic allows for the application of a default that contradicts a previously applied one. We call failure this condition. The possibility of generating failures has been in the past considered as a semantical problem, and variants have been proposed to solve it. We show that it is instead a computational feature that is needed to encode some domains into default logic.

description: The development of colon cancer represents a major complication in patientswithinflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Colorectal cancer (CRC) is cause of large number of malignancies with high rate of mortality originated from inflammatory signaling pathway. Non-coding RNAs are one of the most important Epigenetic changes. MicroRNA's arenon-coding RNAs controlling the expression of genes at the post-transcriptional level which regulate wide range of biological processes like inflammation, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. The aim of this study is finding common miRNAs in bothof IBD and CRC developing sequences.
