description: We propose a modification of the electroweak theory, where the fermions with the same electroweak quantum numbers are combined in multiplets and are treated as different quantum states of a single particle. The developed approach enables one to calculate the probabilities of the processes taking place in the detector at long distances from the particle source. Calculations of higher-order processes including the computation of the contributions due to radiative corrections can be performed in the framework of the perturbation theory using the regular diagram technique. As a result, we obtain the analog to the Dirac--Schwinger equation of quantum electrodynamics describing neutrino oscillations and its spin rotation in dense matter.

description: The short-form 6-dimension (SF-6D) is a preference-based measure designed to calculate quality-adjusted life-year (QALY). Preference-based measures are standardized multidimensional health state classifications with preference or utility weights elicited from a sample of the population. There is a concern that valuations may differ between countries because of differences in culture, thus invalidating the use of values obtained from one country to another. To conduct a systematic review of elicitation methods and modeling strategies in SF-6D studies and to present a general comparison of dimensions’ ordering among different countries. We performed a systematic review of studies that developed value sets for the SF-6D. The data search was conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase, and Scopus up to 8 September 2022. Quality of studies was assessed with the CREATE checklist. Methodological differences were identified, and the dimensions’ ordering of the selected studies was analyzed by cultural and economic factors. From a total of 1369 entries, 31 articles were selected. This corresponded to 12 different countries and regions and 17 different surveys. Most studies used the standard gamble method to elicit health state preferences. Anglo-Saxon countries gave more importance to pain, while other countries have physical functioning as the highest dimension. As the economic level increases, people care less about physical functioning but more about pain and mental health. Value sets for the SF-6D are different from one country to another and there is a need to develop value sets for more countries to consider cultural and economic differences.

description: In this paper, we consider stationary measures of discrete-time three-state quantum walks including the Fourier and Grover walks in the one-dimensional lattice. We give non-uniform stationary measures by solving the corresponding eigenvalue problem. Our new method is based on a reduced matrix, which is different from the generating function approach in our previous work. As a corollary, the Fourier walk on the cycle has a stationary measure with a periodicity.

description: Observation datasets acquired by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) on the Subaru Telescope for NASA's New Horizons mission target search were analyzed through a method devised by JAXA. The method makes use of Field Programmable Gate arrays and was originally used to detect fast-moving objects such as space debris or near-Earth asteroids. Here we present an application of the method to detect slow-moving Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) in the New Horizons target search observations. A cadence that takes continuous images of one HSC field of view for half a night fits the method well. The observations for the New Horizons Kuiper Belt Extended Mission (NH/KEM) using HSC began in May 2020, and are ongoing. Here we show our result of the analysis of the dataset acquired from May 2020 through June 2021 that have already passed the proprietary period and are open to the public. We detected 84 KBO candidates in the June 2020 and June 2021 datasets, when the observation field was close to opposition.

description: The hydrogel capsule adsorbent with honeycomb architectures was prepared via the one-step titration-gel method (OSTGM), which the casting solution contained polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium alginate (SA) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) were directly dripped into CaCl2 and H3BO3 aqueous mixture through a controllable microfluidic device. The microscopic morphology and adsorbed capacity of the SA-PVA-SiO2 capsules (SPSC) were absolutely depended on the parameter conditions during preparation. In this paper, at optimal synthesis situations [SA: PVA = 3: 7 (w: w), TEOS: (SA-PVA) = 2: 30 (v: w), the titration-gel distance was 14 cm and the feed flowed rate was 13 mL/h], the maximal removed capacity of the MB by the SPSC was 392.54 mg/g, and the SiO2 NPs accounted for 17.94 wt % of the polymers. The prepared SPSC, also, could work in overly acid and alkaline aqueous solutions (pH 1-13). The authors of this manuscript hoped this work would provide a corresponding guideline for the researchers who are aiming at preparing the spherical hydrogel adsorbents for waste water treatments.

description: In February 2016, the 60th Annual Conference of the Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society (AARES) was held in Canberra, 20 years since we added ‘and Resources’ to the Society’s name and Journal. As one way of commemorating those anniversaries, a pre-Conference workshop was held to highlight the contributions of the Society’s agricultural and resource economists. Papers were solicited with the expectation that they would be presented in a way that is accessible for the broad membership of the Society and that revisions would be published along with reviewer comments in the Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics (AJARE). This Special Issue is the upshot. This article introduces the Issue and the other articles in it.
Gradual unfreezing transformer-based language models for biomedical question answering
Creators: name: Khanna, Urvashi
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Pretrained transformer-based language models have achieved state-of-the-art results on various Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. These models can be fine-tuned on a range of downstream tasks with minimalistic modifications. However, fine-tuning a language model may result in the problem of catastrophic forgetting and tend to overfit on smaller training datasets. Therefore, gradually unfreezing the pretrained weights is a possible approach to avoid catastrophic forgetting of the knowledge learnt from the source task. Multi-task fine-tuning is an intermediate step on a high-resource dataset that yields good results for low-resource tasks. In this project, we will be investigating the strategies of multi-task fine-tuning and gradual unfreezing on DistilBERT, which have not yet been applied for biomedical domain. First, we explore whether DistilBERT improves the accuracy of a low-resource dataset, BioASQ, with question answering (QA) task as our NLP use-case. Second, we investigate the effect that gradual unfreezing has on the performance of DistilBERT. We observe that despite being 40% smaller and without any domain-specific pretraining, DistilBERT achieves comparable results to a larger model, BERT on smaller BioASQ dataset. However, we observed that gradually unfreezing DistilBERT has no significant impact on the results of our QA task in comparison to standard non-gradual fine-tuning.

description: We study a static spherically symmetric problem with a black hole and radially directed geodesic flows of dark matter. The obtained solutions have the following properties. At large distances, the gravitational field produces constant velocities of circular motion, i.e., flat rotation curves. At smaller distances, the field switches to Newtonian regime, then to Schwarzschild regime. Deviations from Schwarzschild regime start below the gravitational radius. The dark matter prevents the creation of event horizon, instead, a spherical region possessing extremely large redshift is created. The structure of space-time for the obtained solutions is investigated and the implications for the models of the galaxies are discussed.

description: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of supplemental breast imaging modalities for women with heterogeneously and extremely dense breasts and average or intermediate risk of breast cancer (BC) in the USA, and analyze capacity requirements for supplemental magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM). Clinical and economic outcomes for supplemental imaging modalities including full- and abbreviated-protocol MRI (Fp-MRI, Ab-MRI), CEM, and ultrasound (U/S) as add-on to x-ray mammography (XM) or digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), were compared to XM or DBT alone, in a decision tree linked to a Markov chain validated by comparison with a microsimulation analysis. A Delphi panel supplemented model input parameters from the literature. A capacity model evaluated the number of additional daily scans and scanners required for Fp-MRI and CEM. Compared to XM or DBT alone, all supplemental imaging protocols were cost-effective. Both Fp- and Ab-MRI, and to a lesser extent CEM and U/S, yielded superior clinical outcomes to XM or DBT. Compared to XM alone, U/S and Ab-MRI had the lowest incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER). For U/S, the ICER was $23,394 for the average-risk population and $13,241 for the intermediate-risk population. For CEM, the ICER was $38,423 and $23,772, respectively. For the extremely dense subpopulation with intermediate risk, supplemental screening requirements could be accommodated by conducting one Fp-MRI scan per day per existing general scanner. While ultrasound had the lowest ICER, MRI and CEM demonstrated the best clinical outcomes, compared to XM or DBT alone for women with dense breasts and intermediate and high risk. Existing MRI scanner capacity has the potential to meet most of the supplemental screening needs of this population.

description: In this thesis, the feasibility to model the neural fields in brain using the Transmission-Line Matrix (TLM) techniques is explored. This approach differs from the currently used Finite Difference (FD) numerical method by providing the electrical equivalent network where all the model parameters have analogues in electrical elements of TLM node, thus enabling better interpretation of the physical implications of discretisation and of the model. The TLM simulations show a great compatibility with FD, thus opening a possibility for a development of a brain-on-the-chip for in-silico multiscale brain experimentation, which will greatly help the advancement of neuroscience.

The role of AGN-feedback in the baryon cycle of z~2 galaxies: what we learn from the ionized and molecular gas kynematics
Creators: name: Mainieri, Vincenzo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Theoretical models of AGN radiative feedback predict that AGN-driven, galaxy wide massive outflows are not a rare and peculiar phenomenon, but a fundamental process affecting the bulk of the baryons in the universe. I will report the results of our on-going studies to address three questions: a) demography of AGN driven outflows on a statistical sample of AGN; b) how the properties (e.g. energetics and geometry) of such outflows are connected with the properties of the central SMBH; c) which is the impact of such outflows on the gas content of the host galaxy. The studies are focused on z~2 AGNs, and they are based on data taken with SINFONI (SUPER survey and archival data) to trace the ionized gas and ALMA CO observations to trace the molecular gas content.

description: The strength distributions of the Isoscalar Giant Monopole Resonance (ISGMR) and Isoscalar Giant Quadrupole Resonance (ISGQR) in 142,146-150Nd have been determined via inelastic alpha-particle scattering with the Grand Raiden (GR) Spectrometer at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP), Japan. In the deformed nuclei 146-150Nd, the ISGMR strength distributions exhibit a splitting into two components, while the nearly spherical nucleus 142Nd displays a single peak in the ISGMR strength distribution. A noteworthy achievement in this study is the first-time detection of overtones in the Isoscalar Giant Quadrupole Resonance (ISGQR) strength distributions within Nd isotopes at an excitation energy around 25 MeV obtained through Multipole Decomposition Analysis (MDA).

description: We propose a Conditional Density Filtering (C-DF) algorithm for efficient online Bayesian inference. C-DF adapts MCMC sampling to the online setting, sampling from approximations to conditional posterior distributions obtained by propagating surrogate conditional sufficient statistics (a function of data and parameter estimates) as new data arrive. These quantities eliminate the need to store or process the entire dataset simultaneously and offer a number of desirable features. Often, these include a reduction in memory requirements and runtime and improved mixing, along with state-of-the-art parameter inference and prediction. These improvements are demonstrated through several illustrative examples including an application to high dimensional compressed regression. In the cases where dimension of the model parameter does not grow with time, we also establish sufficient conditions under which C-DF samples converge to the target posterior distribution asymptotically as sampling proceeds and more data arrive. Supplementary materials of C-DF are available online.

description: Identifying robust breast cancer subtypes will help to reveal the cancer heterogeneity. However, previous breast cancer subtypes were based on population-level quantitative gene expression, which is affected by batch effects and cannot be applied to individuals. We detected differential gene expression, genomic, and epigenomic alterations to identify driver differential expression at the individual level. The individual driver differential expression reflected the breast cancer patients’ heterogeneity and revealed four subtypes. Mesenchymal subtype as the most aggressive subtype harbored deletion and downregulated expression of genes in chromosome 11q23 region. Specifically, silencing of the SDHD gene in 11q23 promoted the invasion and migration of breast cancer cells in vitro by the epithelial–mesenchymal transition. The immunologically hot subtype displayed an immune-hot microenvironment, including high T-cell infiltration and upregulated PD-1 and CTLA4. Luminal and genomic-unstable subtypes showed opposite macrophage polarization, which may be regulated by the ligand–receptor pairs of CD99. The integration of multi-omics data at the individual level provides a powerful framework for elucidating the heterogeneity of breast cancer.

Civil society, advocacy and participation in policy-making: a case study of child-welfare NGOs in Bulgaria and Serbia
Creators: name: Filipova, Denitsa

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The democratic transitions in Central Eastern European countries in the early 1990s revitalized scholarly interest in civil society and in the role of its organizations in the democratization process. Twenty-five years on, however, the ability of such organizations to perform one of their main functions, namely, to act as transmission belts between state and society, creating additional channels for interest articulation, remains largely under-examined. This thesis explores the participation of child-welfare non-governmental organizations in the policy-making process in Bulgaria and Serbia. It analyzes the role of these NGOs in the policy process, focusing on the mechanisms for interaction between the state and such civil society organizations, the channels for their inclusion in policy deliberations, and their actual involvement in consultations on draft legislation and policies. The thesis begins by examining the legal and institutional frameworks regulating the activities and policy involvement of NGOs in Bulgaria and Serbia. It discusses the relevance of European Union requirements and recommendations for the development of consultation practices in these two new democracies, and analyzes existing legislation regarding public participation in policy processes and the strategies being used to make it more open and inclusive. The main forums for consultation with child-welfare NGOs in policy-making in Bulgaria and Serbia are found to be the working groups convened by different institutions as part of the legislative process. The second part of the dissertation analyzes the role of the NGOs and the interaction between them and their governments in these working groups, based on interviews with NGO representatives and state officials. This analysis indicates that consultation processes in both countries are controlled by government and that existing legislation and practices provide child-welfare NGOs with a restricted role in decision-making. Further research is suggested to establish whether these restrictions exist in other sectors and other CEE countries, but if they do, the implications are that understandings of working groups as a form of high level participation need to change.

description: We demonstrate the field-effect transistor (FET) operation of molecularly-thin anatase phase produced through solid state transformation from Ti0.87O2 nanosheets. Monolayer Ti0.87O2 nanosheet with a thickness of 0.7 nm is two-dimensional oxide insulators in which Ti vacancies are incorporated, rather than oxygen vacancies. Since the fabrication method, in general, largely affects the film quality, the anatase films derived from Ti0.87O2 nanosheet show interesting characteristics, such as no photocurrent peak at ~2 eV, which is related to oxygen vacancies, and a larger band gap of 3.8 eV. The 10-nm thick anatase FETs exhibit superior transport characteristics with a maximum mobility of ~1.3 cm2V-1s-1 and current on/off ratio of ~105 at room temperature. The molecularly-thin anatase FET may provide new functionalities, such as field-effect control of catalytic properties.

description: China has experienced consistent economic growth since the instigation of its ‘open-door’ policies in 1978, which aimed to reform the domestic industrial and economic structure and bring China more in line with advanced economies that typically consume large quantities of minerals and energy. The outcome of these policies is that China is now both the largest user and one of the most important suppliers of foreign direct investment (FDI). However, despite considerable research into the foreign direct investment undertaken by Chinese multinational enterprises, our understanding of how ownership influences the internationalization strategies of Chinese firms is limited. This research focused on State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) and Non-State-Owned Enterprises (NSOEs) from China’s mining sector, a significant contributor to China’s outward foreign direct investment (OFDI). Five key issues were explored, (i) why do Chinese mining SOEs and NSOEs engage in OFDI - to acquire assets or exploit assets, (ii) what are Chinese mining SOEs and NSOEs’ motivations to conduct OFDI overseas, (iii) how the type of ownership influences its attitude towards risk, (vi) why the type of ownership influences its attitude towards risk, and, (v) How do the CEO/ top executive influence Chinese mining SOEs and NSOEs’ internationalization strategies? The exploratory, multiple-case study methodology adopted examined three SOEs and three NSOEs all selected from the sub-mining industries within China’s mining sector. Personal interviews with CEOs and senior managers utilized open-ended questions focusing on each firm’s motivations and attitudes towards risk in regard to their internationalization. The findings reveal that a mining firm’s ownership type affects its internationalization strategies and results in ‘domestic comparative ownership advantages/disadvantages’ (DCOA/DCOD). Chinese mining SOEs internationalize to further exploit DCOA, while mining NSOEs internationalize to both redress their DCOD and exploit their limited DCOA. The cross-case analysis indicated that SOEs and NSOEs have different attitudes towards the risks of OFDI. SOEs are more likely to engage in paradoxically risky behaviour, while NSOEs are more likely to adopt a more conservative risk attitude. These attitudes are influenced by the characteristics of each firm’s CEO. The thesis extends the internationalization literature by identifying potential qualifications and consistencies with existing paradigms. It highlights the importance of incorporating firm ownership types when evaluating Chinese firm internationalization. Finally, it provides theoretical and practical guidelines about the strategies and negotiation skills required to deal with Chinese mining SOEs and NSOEs.

description: To capture the economic and healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) burden in older adults due to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. An electronic literature search of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, and EconLit was conducted for studies of the cost and HCRU outcomes of RSV infection in adult patients, with no language or country restrictions. The search dates for the primary studies were January 1, 2002–May 18, 2022. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed using a modification of the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist for economic studies and the Drummond checklist. Forty-two studies were identified that reported cost or HCRU data associated with RSV infections, with geographic locations across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. Generally, hospitalization costs were highest in the United States (US). Driving factors of increased cost included older age, comorbidities, and length of stay. US studies found that the national direct cost burden of RSV hospitalizations was $1.3 billion for all adults and $1.5–$4.0 billion for adults aged ≥60 years (estimates for other countries were not identified). Studies estimating incremental costs for RSV cases versus controls and costs pre- and post-RSV infection demonstrated higher costs for RSV cases. Hospitalizations accounted for the majority of total costs. The variability in definitions of cost outcomes, age groups, study seasons, and geographic locations was prohibitive of a meta-analysis and comparisons across studies. Cost and HCRU data were limited per country outside the US, per comorbidity, and in settings other than the inpatient setting. Only one study reported indirect costs, and only the US had national cost burden data. Despite several data gaps, the economic burden of RSV infections on healthcare systems and payers was found to be substantial, globally, underscoring the need for RSV preventive strategies for reducing this burden.

description: Τα τελευταία χρονιά, η χρήση των ρομποτικών βραχιόνων στις βιομηχανίες αυξάνεται όλο και περισσότερο. Τα ρομποτικά συστήματα χρησιμοποιούνται σε μεγάλος  εύρος εργασιών όπως η βαφή , η συναρμολόγηση , η τοποθέτηση , ο έλεγχος προϊόντων και οι δοκιμές.
Η συνεχής  κατανάλωση πρώτων υλών έχει οδηγήσει την ανθρωπότητα στο να κατασκευάζει προϊόντα με υψηλές μηχανικές ιδιότητες και με τη λιγότερη δυνατή κατανάλωση πρώτης ύλης. Σε αυτό το σημείο εισάγεται η τυπολογική βελτιστοποίηση, μέσω της χρήση της οι μηχανικοί μπορούν να σχεδιάσουν και να αφαιρέσουν το υλικό το οποίο δεν είναι απαραίτητο για την χρήση του αντικειμένου.

description: Topological phononic states, facilitating acoustic unique transports immunizing to defects and disorders, have significantly revolutionized our scientific cognition of acoustic wave systems. Up to now, the theoretical and experimental demonstrations of topologically protected one-way transports with pseudospin states in a phononic crystal beyond the graphene lattice with C6v symmetry are still unexploited. Furthermore, the tunable topological states, in form of robust reconfigurable acoustic pathways, have been evaded in the topological phononic insulators. Here, we realize a topological phase transition in the double Dirac degenerate cone of rotatable triangular phononic crystals with C3v symmetry, by introducing the zone folding mechanism. Along a topological domain wall between two portions of phononic crystals with distinct topological phases, we experimentally observe the quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect for sound, characterized by the robust pseudospin-dependent one-way edge model. As the triangular phononic crystals can freely rotate, we straightforward reconfigure an arbitrary contour defined by the topological domain wall along which the acoustic waves can unimpededly transport. Our research develops a new route for the exploration of the topological phenomena in experiments and provides an excellent framework for freely steering the acoustic immune-backscattering propagation within topological phononic structures.

description: Shot noise is a powerful tool to probe correlations and microscopic transport details that conductance measurements alone cannot reveal. Even in atomic-scale Au devices that are well described by Landauer-B{ü}ttiker physics, complications remain such as local heating and electron-phonon interactions. We report systematic rf measurements of shot noise in individual atomic-scale gold break junctions at multiple temperatures, with most bias voltages well above the energy of the Au optical phonon mode. Motivated by the previous experimental evidence that electron-phonon interactions can modify Fano factors and result in kinked features in bias dependence of shot noise, we find that the temperature dependence of shot noise from 4.2~K to 100~K is minimal. Enhanced Fano factors near 0.5$~G_0$ and features beyond simply linear bias dependence of shot noise near the 1$~G_0$ plateau are observed. Both are believed to have non-interacting origins and the latter likely results from slightly bias-dependent transmittance of the dominant quantum channel.

description: Writing secure code is challenging and so it is expected that, following the release of code-generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, developers will use these tools to perform security tasks and use security APIs. However, is the code generated by ChatGPT secure? How would the everyday software or security engineer be able to tell?
 As we approach the next decade we expect a greater adoption of code-generative AI tools and to see developers use them to write secure code. In preparation for this, we need to ensure security-by-design. In this paper, we look back in time to Saltzer & Schroeder's security design principles as they will need to evolve and adapt to the challenges that come with a world of AI-generated code.

description: We propose that light can break mirror symmetries and combining symmetries with a uniform time translation, and their breaking is characterized by an off-diagonal charge conductivity. Taking periodically driven graphene as an example, we show that mirror symmetries about the $xz$ and $yz$ planes and the combining symmetries, the symmetries of combinations of the mirror operations about these planes and a uniform time translation, can be broken by linearly or circularly polarized light. We also show that this symmetry breaking induces the time-averaged off-diagonal symmetric or antisymmetric charge conductivity in a nonequilibrium steady state with linearly or circularly, respectively, polarized light. Our results are experimentally testable in pump-probe measurements. This work will pave the way for controlling mirror symmetries via light and utilizing the light-induced mirror symmetry breaking.
