description: In recent years, the number of biomedical publications has steadfastly grown, resulting in a rich source of untapped new knowledge. Most biomedical facts are however not readily available, but buried in the form of unstructured text, and hence their exploitation requires the time-consuming manual curation of published articles. Here we present INtERAcT, a novel approach to extract protein-protein interactions from a corpus of biomedical articles related to a broad range of scientific domains in a completely unsupervised way. INtERAcT exploits vector representation of words, computed on a corpus of domain specific knowledge, and implements a new metric that estimates an interaction score between two molecules in the space where the corresponding words are embedded. We demonstrate the power of INtERAcT by reconstructing the molecular pathways associated to 10 different cancer types using a corpus of disease-specific articles for each cancer type. We evaluate INtERAcT using STRING database as a benchmark, and show that our metric outperforms currently adopted approaches for similarity computation at the task of identifying known molecular interactions in all studied cancer types. Furthermore, our approach does not require text annotation, manual curation or the definition of semantic rules based on expert knowledge, and hence it can be easily and efficiently applied to different scientific domains. Our findings suggest that INtERAcT may increase our capability to summarize the understanding of a specific disease using the published literature in an automated and completely unsupervised fashion.

description: La Constitución Política de 1991 consagró por primera vez el reconocimiento a nivel constitucional de los derechos de los pueblos étnicos. En ese contexto, las Entidades Territoriales Indígenas fueron creadas como nueva figura de ordenación territorial. Las ETIs representan la materialización del derecho a la autonomía territorial pues permiten que los pueblos étnicos puedan ejercer el gobierno propio en sus territorios ancestrales. Sin embargo, la puesta en funcionamiento de las ETIs quedo supedita, a la luz del artículo 329 constitucional, a la expedición de una ley orgánica por parte del Congreso de la República. Y treinta y dos años después, esta omisión legislativa aún persiste. El presente escrito examina como la ausencia de una ley orgánica de ordenamiento territorial que permita la puesta en funcionamiento de las Entidades Territoriales Indígenas, puede contribuir a la municipalización de territorios indígenas ubicados en las áreas no municipalizadas y las afectaciones que esto genera. Finalmente, el texto da cuenta como la jurisprudencia constitucional ha sido la principal herramienta de protección de la autonomía territorial de los pueblos indígenas amazónicos, ante la ausencia de regulación del artículo 329 constitucional por parte del Legislador.
description: The Political Constitution of 1991 enshrined for the first time the recognition of ethnic groups’ rights at the constitutional level. In this context, the Indigenous Territorial Entities were created as a new figure of territorial planning. The ITE’s represent the materialization of the territorial autonomy right since they allow ethnic groups to exercise self-government in their ancestral territories. Although, the ITE’s implementation was subjected, according to article 329 of the Constitution, to the issuance of an organic law by the Congress of the Republic. Even thirty-two years later, this legislative mission persists. This paper discusses how the absence of an organic law on territorial planning that allows the implementation of Indigenous Territorial Entities might contribute to the municipalization of indigenous territories located in non-municipalized areas and the effects that this this this causes. Finally, this text explains how constitutional jurisprudence the main tool for the protection of the territorial autonomy of the Amazonian indigenous peoples has been, given the absence of regulation regarding the constitutional article 329 by the Legislator.

description: Living cells dynamically modulate the local morphologies of their actin cytoskeletons to perform biological functions, including force transduction, intracellular transport, and cell division. A major challenge is to understand how diverse structures of the actin cytoskeleton are assembled from a limited set of molecular building blocks. Here we study the spontaneous self-assembly of a minimal model of cytoskeletal materials, consisting of semiflexible actin filaments, crosslinkers, and molecular motors. Using coarse-grained simulations, we demonstrate that by changing concentrations and kinetics of crosslinkers and motors we can generate three distinct structural phases of actomyosin assemblies: bundled, polarity-sorted, and contracted. We introduce new metrics to distinguish these structural phases and demonstrate their functional roles. We find that the binding kinetics of motors and crosslinkers can be tuned to optimize contractile force generation, motor transport, and mechanical response. By quantitatively characterizing the relationships between modes of cytoskeletal self-assembly, the resulting structures, and their functional consequences, our work suggests new principles for the design of active materials.

description: Small manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) face a number of challenges when selecting and implementing advanced manufacturing technologies. These challenges may include the lack of awareness of the specific technologies and commercial products available, the lack of ability to select the appropriate product, and the lack of skill sets needed to utilize the selection techniques. This paper documents the actual process and benefits of advanced software technologies adoption by two SMEs. Considerations for defining requirements and selecting a software product are described. This note explains the issues involved for SMEs, presents methods they can use, and provides artifacts used in this documented case.

description: In ultra-high quality two-dimensional (2D) materials the mean free paths of phonons and electrons relative to all mechanisms of scattering can be much greater than a size of a sample. In this case the most intensive type of scattering of particles is their collisions with sample edges and the ballistic regime of heat and charge transport is realized. We study the ballistic transport of classical interacting 2D particles in a long narrow sample. We show that the inter-particle scattering conserving momentum leads to a positive hydrodynamic correction to the ballistic conductance, which is a precursor of the viscous Poiseuille flow. We examine the effect of weak magnetic field on the electron ballistic conductance and predict a novel classical ballistic mechanism for negative magnetoresistance. Our analysis demonstrates that, apparently, such mechanism explains the temperature-independent part of the giant negative magnetoresistance recently observed in the ultra-high mobility GaAs quantum wells.

La norma acompaña aquella acción con un plus de medidas y un abanico de presunciones que, buscan facilitar las reclamaciones y aligerar la carga probatoria de los reclamantes, entre ellas, consagró una presunción legal de nulidad de los actos administrativos, que le permite a un juez o magistrado de tierras declarar la nulidad, junto con el decaimiento de todos los actos administrativos posteriores y conexos con el que resultó anulado. Lo anterior, tiene diversas implicaciones en los juicios de legalidad de los actos administrativos, los cuales vale la pena revisar, además, emerge necesario considerar unos presupuestos que impedirán la extralimitación de funciones de los jueces y magistrados de tierras.

The norm accompanies that action with a plus of measures and a range of presumptions that seek to facilitate claims and lighten the probative burden of the claimants, among them, it enshrined a legal presumption of nullity of administrative acts, which allows a judge or land magistrate declare the nullity, together with the decay of all subsequent and related administrative acts with which it was annulled. The foregoing has various implications in the judgments of legality of administrative acts, which are worth reviewing, in addition, it emerges necessary to consider some assumptions that will prevent the excess of functions of land judges and magistrates.

SEI Architecture Analysis Techniques and When to Use Them

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: 80309 Software Engineering
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) has developed two methods for analyzing system and software architectures—the Quality Attribute Workshop (QAW) and the Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method (ATAM). These techniques, which are described in detail in various SEI technical reports and on the SEI Web site, can be used in combination to obtain early and continuous benefits. Designed to complement the ATAM, the QAW provides a method for analyzing a conceptual architecture or a system architecture against a number of critical quality attributes—such as availability, performance, security, interoperability, and modifiability—before the software architecture is fully developed. Once the software architecture is developed, the ATAM can be used to reveal how well the architecture satisfies particular quality attribute requirements and the risks, sensitivities, and tradeoffs involved in satisfying the requirements. The purpose of this technical note is to describe, using a hypothetical example, the alignment, combination, and uses of the two methods.

Laser-beam scintillations for weak and moderate turbulence

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: The scintillation index is obtained for the practically important range of weak and moderate atmospheric turbulence. To study this challenging range, the Boltzman-Langevin kinetic equation, describing light propagation, is derived from first principles of quantum optics based on the technique of the photon distribution function (PDF) [G. P. Berman et al., Phys. Rev. A 74, 013805 (2006)]. The paraxial approximation for laser beams reduces the collision integral for the PDF to a two-dimensional operator in the momentum space. Analytical solutions for the average value of PDF as well as for its fluctuating constituent are obtained using an iterative procedure. The calculated scintillation index is considerably greater than that obtained within the Rytov approximation even at moderate turbulence strength. The relevant explanation is proposed.

description: Rice production in Myanmar is constrained by biophysical and socioeconomic factors. Nonetheless, efficient farm practices can enhance productivity, farmers’ profit, and the price and quality of marketed rice. This study analyzed the profitability and efficiency of rice production in the Ayeyarwaddy Region of Myanmar and identified the influencing socioeconomic characteristics and farm-specific characteristics. Primary data from 130 randomly sampled farmers in the Ayeyarwaddy Region were collected. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, data envelopment analysis (DEA), and Tobit regression analysis. According to the average overall technical efficiency, farmers have an additional rice yield potential of 25 percent that can be attained by improving input utilization. The best practices benchmarked in the region showed that technical inefficiency is caused by excessive use of inputs, especially herbicides and animal power. Most rice farms in this study suffer from allocative and economic inefficiencies resulting from wrong combinations of input usages. The average economic efficiency level indicates that farmers can increase their profitability by 57 percent if they adapted to reduce input costs. Moreover, efficiency was significantly higher for farmers who were younger, better educated, more experienced, had access to agricultural extension services, and cultivated the Aye Yar Min variety. Efficiency can be improved by setting up farmers’ cooperatives to increase the scale of operations. Moreover, the government should intervene to reduce input prices, control the quality of input seeds, and install an appropriate financial crop insurance mechanism. Effective and systematic agricultural extension services should be widespread to improve the efficiency and decision-making skills of rice farmers in the study area.

Se propone mostrar al lector que la construcción de políticas de cooperación, tanto globales como locales, deben formularse a partir de un análisis interdisciplinario que permita hacer de la cooperación una herramienta más eficaz (asignación de recursos y gestión orientada a resultados), transparente (monitoreo, evaluación y rendición de cuentas) e inclusiva (que la ayuda no sólo se otorgue tomando en cuenta aspectos netamente económicos, sino que también se incluyan factores sociales). Se parte del supuesto que lo político, lo económico y lo internacional convergen para el diseño de la política exterior de los Estados, independientemente del nivel de desarrollo de estos. De esta forma, el objetivo es resaltar la cooperación como un instrumento clave dentro de la formulación y ejecución de la política exterior de los países desde una mirada interdisciplinaria.
description: Through inductive research, the article analyses international development cooperation as a phenomenon from different academic perspectives (international relations, political science, and economics). It aims to show the reader that the construction of cooperation policies, both global and local, must be formulated on the basis of an interdisciplinary analysis that allows cooperation to become a more effective tool (resource allocation and results-oriented management), transparent (monitoring, evaluation and accountability) and inclusive (aid is not only granted taking into account purely economic aspects, but also includes social factors). It is assumed that the political, economic, and international spheres converge in the design of a state's foreign policy, regardless of its level of development. In this way, the aim is to highlight cooperation as a key instrument in the formulation and implementation of a country's foreign policy from an interdisciplinary perspective.

description: We propose a new methodology for analyzing determinants of the wage gap between immigrants and natives. A Mincerian regression framework is extended to include GDP per capita in an immigrant’s country of birth as a proxy for the quality of education and work experience acquired in that country. In this regard, a central finding is that Canadian immigrants’ returns to schooling and work experience significantly increase with the GDP per capita of their country of birth. The contribution of quality of schooling and work experience to the immigrant wage gap is also examined. It is shown that lower human capital quality completely negates the endowment advantage that immigrants have in the areas of schooling and work experience, so that this factor is key to understanding why they earn less than Canadian natives. Since data on GDP per capita are available for most countries in the world over long periods of time, the proposed methodology can be applied to analyze immigrant wage gaps for a large set of countries for which common statistics on natives and immigrants are available. / Qualité du capital humain et écart salarial entre immigrants et natifs. Nous proposons une nouvelle méthodologie pour analyser les déterminants de l’écart salarial entre les immigrants et les natifs. On ajoute à une régression salariale mincérienne le PIB par habitant du pays de naissance d’un immigrant en tant qu’approximation de la qualité de l’éducation et de l’expérience de travail reçues dans ce pays. À cet égard, un résultat important est que les rendements à l’éducation et à l’expérience des immigrants canadiens augmentent de façon significative avec le PIB par habitant dans leurs pays de naissance. On examine aussi la contribution de la qualité de l’éducation et de l’expérience de travail à l’écart salarial entre immigrants et natifs au Canada. On montre que la faible qualité du capital humain élimine complètement l’avantage des immigrants dans les niveaux d’éducation et d’expérience, ce qui fait que ce facteur est fondamental dans notre compréhension de l’écart salarial. Comme des données sur le PIB par habitant sont disponibles pour la plupart des pays durant de longues périodes, la méthodologie proposée peut être appliquée dans plusieurs pays pour lesquels ilexiste des statistiques salariales sur les natifs et les immigrants.

description: Recent trends in System-on-a-Chip show that an increasing number of special-purpose processors are being added to improve the efficiency of common operations. Unfortunately, the use of these processors may introduce suspension delays incurred by communication, synchronization, and external I/O operations. When these processors are used in real-time systems, conventional schedulability analyses incorporate these delays in the worst-case execution/response time, hence significantly reducing the schedulable utilization. This report describes schedulability analyses and proposes segment-fixed priority scheduling for self-suspending tasks. We model the tasks as segments of execution separated by suspensions. We start from providing response-time analyses for self-suspending tasks under Rate Monotonic Scheduling (RMS). While RMS is shown to not be optimal, it can be used effectively in some special cases that we have identified. We then derive a utilization bound for the cases as a function of the ratio of the suspension duration to the period of the tasks. For general cases, we develop a segment-fixed priority scheduling scheme. Our scheme assigns individual segments different priorities and phase offsets that are used for phase enforcement to control the unexpected self-suspending nature.

description: We elaborate on the recent claim [arXiv:1702.03583] that non-perturbative effects in $α'$, which are at the core of the FZZ duality, render the region just behind the horizon of the $SL(2,\mathbb{R})_k/U(1)$ black hole singular already at the classical level ($g_s=0$). We argue that the 2D classical $SL(2,\mathbb{R})_k/U(1)$ black hole could shed some light on quantum black holes in higher dimensions including large black holes in $AdS_5\times S^5$.
Security Requirements Reusability and the SQUARE Methodology

Subjects: subject: 80309 Software Engineering

description: Security is often neglected during requirements elicitation, which leads to tacked-on designs, vulnerabilities, and increased costs. When security requirements are defined, they are often either too vague to be of much use or overly specific in constraining designers to use particular mechanisms. The CERT Program, part of Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute, has developed the Security Quality Requirements Engineering (SQUARE) methodology to correct this shortcoming by integrating security analysis into the requirements engineering process. SQUARE can be improved upon by considering the inclusion of generalized, reusable security requirements to produce better-quality specifications at a lower cost. Because many software-intensive systems face similar security threats and address those threats in fairly standardized ways, there is potential for reuse of security goals and requirements if they are properly specified. Full integration of reuse into SQUARE requires a common understanding of security concepts and a body of well-written and generalized requirements. This study explores common security criteria as a hierarchy of concepts and relates those criteria to examples of reusable security goals and requirements for inclusion in a new variant of SQUARE focusing on reusability, R-SQUARE.
Static structure factor for graphene in a magnetic field

description: A close study is made of the static structure factor for graphene in a magnetic field at integer filling factors nu, with focus on revealing possible signatures of "relativistic" quantum field theory in the low-energy physics of graphene. It is pointed out, in particular, that for graphene even the vacuum state has a nonzero density spectral weight, which, together with the structure factor for all nu, grows significantly with increasing wave vector; such unusual features of density correlations are a "relativistic" effect deriving from massless Dirac quasiparticles in graphene. Remarkably it turns out that the zero-energy Landau levels of electrons or holes, characteristic to graphene, remain indistinguishable in density response from the vacuum state, although they are distinct in Hall conductance.

description: La actividad contractual del Estado se rige por los principios de transparencia, igualdad y selección objetiva, esto permite la elección de las ofertas más favorables para satisfacer sus necesidades. En atención al artículo 333 de la Constitución Nacional, en los procesos de contratación pública deberá garantizarse la libre concurrencia, pues de ella depende que el Estado disfrute de las ventajas de la libre competencia. La libre concurrencia de oferentes a los procesos de selección puede verse distorsionada con ocasión del desconocimiento de los principios regentes de la contratación estatal. Por ejemplo, el establecimiento de requisitos arbitrarios por parte de la entidad permite el direccionamiento de contratos. Frente a esta problemática, el legislador planteó una solución: los pliegos de condiciones tipo. Esta busca limitar la discrecionalidad administrativa en la definición de los requisitos habilitantes, de modo que la mayor cantidad de proponentes idóneos queden habilitados para presentar ofertas y, así, se aumente la participación en los procesos de selección de contratistas. Se busca determinar si la medida es idónea, en el sentido de limitar la facultad de las entidades contratantes de definir los requisitos habilitantes. Además, establecer si es efectiva para aumentar la concurrencia de proponentes a los procesos de contratación.
description: The State's contractual activity is governed by the principles of transparency, equality and objective selection, this allows the selection of the most favorable offers to satisfy its needs. In accordance with article 333 of the National Constitution, free competition must be guaranteed in public procurement processes, since it depends on it for the State to enjoy the advantages of free competition. The free participation of bidders in the selection processes may be distorted due to ignorance of the governing principles of state contracting. For example, the establishment of arbitrary requirements by the entity allows for the routing of contracts. Faced with this problem, the legislator proposed a solution: standard specifications. This seeks to limit administrative discretion in the definition of qualifying requirements, so that the greatest number of suitable bidders are qualified to submit offers and, thus, increase participation in contractor selection processes. The aim is to determine whether the measure is suitable, in the sense of limiting the power of contracting entities to define the enabling requirements. Additionally, establish if it is effective in increasing the attendance of bidders in the contracting processes.
An Empirical Study of Housing Wealth and Consumption in China
Creators: name: Li, Xiagao
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: Using the most recent data from 2006 to 2018, I examine the relationship between housing wealth and residents' consumption with macro models and micro models. Splitting the sample into two periods, the macro data analysis suggests that the housing wealth effect is significantly positive in the period from 2006 to 2012 while it is not significant from 2013 to 2018. The micro evidence shows that the housing wealth effect on household consumption is generally positive, differing from regions, years, gender, education and other factors. The micro analysis results can explain part of the reason why housing wealth effect is weakening in China, but more evidence is needed to get a better understanding of this issue.

description: Requirements engineering, a vital component in successful project development, often does not include sufficient attention to security concerns. Studies show that up-front attention to security can save the economy billions of dollars, yet security concerns are often treated as an afterthought to functional requirements. Industry can thus benefit from a model to examine security requirements in the development stages of the production life cycle. This report presents the Security Quality Requirements (SQUARE) Methodology for eliciting and prioritizing security requirements in software development projects, which was developed by the Software Engineering Institute's Networked Systems Survivability (NSS) Program. The methodology's steps are explained, and results from its application in recent case studies are examined. The NSS Program continues to develop SQUARE, which has proven effective in helping organizations understand their security posture and produce products with verifiable security requirements.

Fractal Time: A Scale-Dependent Framework for Reconciling Quantum Gravity and Cosmology

This paper introduces a groundbreaking concept—fractal time—which posits that time itself is scale dependent and possesses a fractal structure. By generalizing time derivatives to fractional order using the Caputo formalism, the framework naturally modifies classical and quantum dynamics. Key contributions include:

Black Hole Resolution: The theory leads to non-singular black hole interiors by producing a scale-dependent mass distribution (M(r)∝r3M(r)∝r3), thereby resolving the traditional singularity problem.

Quantum Field Theory Regularization: Fractal time alters dispersion relations and regularizes vacuum energy divergences, softening the standard Λ4Λ4 divergence to a milder Λ3+2βΛ3+2β behavior.

Cosmological Implications: With a running fractal exponent β(ℓ)=1−Aℓγβ(ℓ)=1−Aℓγ, the model provides a mechanism to explain anomalies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and suggests modifications to inflationary dynamics, potentially addressing the Hubble tension.

Testable Predictions: The paper outlines experimental strategies—including precision atomic clock comparisons, gamma-ray burst timing, and gravitational wave observations—to validate the fractal time framework.

Perceptual Insights: It also explores how an observer’s scale can affect the perception of time, offering novel perspectives on the quantum-classical transition and consciousness.

This unified approach bridges insights from quantum gravity, cosmology, and experimental physics, suggesting that our understanding of time is not absolute but scale dependent. The paper is of interest to researchers in theoretical physics, quantum gravity, and cosmology.

Fractal Time and Scale-Dependent Physics: Resolving GR-QFT Tensions and Cosmological Implications
Creators: name: Barker, Erika
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Fractal Time and Scale-Dependent Physics: Resolving GR-QFT Tensions and Cosmological Implications

This paper introduces the concept of fractal time, where time itself exhibits scale-dependent properties, leading to fractional time derivatives in fundamental physics equations. This approach provides a novel framework addressing the longstanding incompatibility between general relativity (GR) and quantum field theory (QFT).

Key results include:

Black Hole Physics: Fractal time naturally resolves black hole singularities, predicting non-singular mass distributions with finite-density cores.

Quantum Field Theory: The modified dispersion relations reduce vacuum energy divergences, offering a potential resolution to the cosmological constant problem.

Cosmology & CMB Anomalies: A running fractal time exponent explains cosmic microwave background anomalies and modifies inflationary dynamics, potentially addressing the Hubble tension.

This framework connects quantum gravity’s dimensional reduction phenomena with observable physics, offering testable predictions for atomic clocks, high-energy astrophysics, and gravitational wave observations.

description: The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) has been investigating disciplined software architecture design for several years. The SEI approach includes a collection of "quality attribute reasoning frameworks" that understand both quality attribute reasoning and how architects design for the quality attribute under particular situations. The approach was first applied to the quality attributes of modifiability and performance. This report is an initial attempt to use the same method for the related quality attributes of security and survivability. The report includes an initial organization of security within the framework, a partial explication of elements of that framework, and three representative examples of existing security reasoning frameworks.

description: We conducted an improved search for the simultaneous capture of two $K$-shell electrons on the $^{124}$Xe and $^{126}$Xe nuclei with emission of two neutrinos using 800.0 days of data from the XMASS-I detector. A novel method to discriminate $γ$-ray/$X$-ray or double electron capture signals from $β$-ray background using scintillation time profiles was developed for this search. No significant signal was found when fitting the observed energy spectra with the expected signal and background. Therefore, we set the most stringent lower limits on the half-lives at $2.1 \times 10^{22}$ and $1.9 \times 10^{22}$ years for $^{124}$Xe and $^{126}$Xe, respectively, with 90% confidence level. These limits improve upon previously reported values by a factor of 4.5.
