description: Giant impurity excitations with large binding energies are powerful probes for exploring new regimes of far out of equilibrium dynamics in few- and many-body quantum systems, as well as for in-situ observations of correlations. Motivated by recent experimental progress in spectroscopic studies of Rydberg excitations in ensembles of ultracold atoms, we develop a new theoretical approach for describing multiscale dynamics of Rydberg excitations in quantum Bose gases. We find that the crossover from few- to many-body dynamics manifests in a dramatic change in spectral profile from resolved molecular lines to broad Gaussian distributions representing a superpolaronic state in which many atoms bind to the Rydberg impurity. We discuss signatures of this crossover in the temperature and density dependence of the spectra.

description: Joint models are used in ageing studies to investigate the association between longitudinal markers and a time-to-event, and have been extended to multiple markers and/or competing risks. The competing risk of death must be considered in the elderly because death and dementia have common risk factors. Moreover, in cohort studies, time-to-dementia is interval-censored because dementia is only assessed intermittently. So subjects can become demented and die between two follow-up visits without being diagnosed. To study pre-dementia cognitive decline, we propose a joint latent class model combining a (possibly multivariate) mixed model and an illness-death model handling both interval censoring (by accounting for a possible unobserved transition to dementia) and semi-competing risks. Parameters are estimated by maximum likelihood handling interval censoring. The correlation between the marker and the times-to-events is captured by latent classes, homogeneous groups with specific risks of death and dementia and profiles of cognitive decline. We propose markovian and semi-markovian versions. Both approaches are compared to a joint latent class model for standard competing risks through a simulation study, and then applied in a prospective cohort study of cerebral and functional ageing to distinguish different profiles of cognitive decline associated with risks of dementia and death. The comparison highlights that among demented subjects, mortality depends more on age than duration of dementia. This model distinguishes the so-called terminal pre-death decline (among non-demented subjects) from the pre-dementia decline.

description: Speech processing is subserved by neural oscillations. Through a mechanism termed entrainment, oscillations can maintain speech rhythms beyond speech offset. We here tested whether entrainment affects higher-level language comprehension. We conducted four online experiments on 80 participants each. Our paradigm combined acoustic entrainment to repetitive prosodic contours with subsequent visual presentation of ambiguous target sentences (e.g. “Max sees Tom and Karl laughs”). We aimed to elicit faulty segmentations through the duration of the preceding contour (e.g. the segment “Max sees Tom and Karl” leads to an error at “laughs”). Across experiments, self-paced reading data showed that participants employed the duration of the initial prosodic contour to predict the duration of the upcoming segments. Prosody entrainment may thus serve a predictive function during language comprehension, not only helping the reader to segment the current speech input, but also inducing temporal predictions about upcoming segments.

description: Frontal lobe organisation displays a functional gradient, with overarching processing goals located in parts anterior to more subordinate goals, processed more posteriorly. Functional specialisation for syntax and phonology within language relevant areas has been supported by meta-analyses and reviews, but never directly tested experimentally. We tested for organised functional specialisation by manipulating syntactic case and phonotactics, creating violations at the end of otherwise matched and predictable sentences. Both violations led to increased activation in expected language regions. We observe the clearest signs of a functional gradient for language processing in the medial frontal cortex, where syntactic violations activated a more anterior portion compared to the phonotactic violations. A large overlap of syntactic and phonotactic processing in the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) supports the view that general structured sequence processes are located in this area. These findings are relevant for understanding how sentence processing is implemented in hierarchically organised processing steps in the frontal lobe.

description: The effective use of preverbal linguistic cues to make successful clause-final verbal prediction as well as robust maintenance of such predictions has been argued to be a cross-linguistic generalisation for SOV languages such as German and Japanese. In this paper, we show that native speakers of Hindi (an SOV language) falter in forming a clause-final structure in the presence of a centre-embedded relative clause with a non-canonical word order. In particular, the fallibility of the parser is illustrated by the formation of a grammatically illicit locally coherent parse during online processing. Such a parse should not be formed if the grammatically licit matrix clause final structure was being successfully formed. The formation of a locally coherent parse is further illustrated by probing various syntactic dependencies via targeted questions. We show that the parser's susceptibility to form such structures is not driven by top-down processing, rather the effect can only be explained through a bottom-up parsing approach. Further, our investigation suggests that while plausibility is essential, presence of overt agreement features might not be necessary for forming a locally coherent parse in Hindi. These results go against top-down proposals to local coherence such as lossy surprisal and are consistent with the good-enough processing model to comprehension while only partially supporting the SOPARSE account. The work highlights how top-down processing and bottom-up information interact during sentence comprehension in SOV languages – prediction suffers with increased complexity of the preverbal linguistic environment.

description: It was recently shown by Motes, Gilchrist, Dowling & Rohde [PRL 113, 120501 (2014)] that a time-bin encoded fiber-loop architecture can implement an arbitrary passive linear optics transformation. This was shown in the case of an ideal scheme whereby the architecture has no sources of error. In any realistic implementation, however, physical errors are present, which corrupt the output of the transformation. We investigate the dominant sources of error in this architecture --- loss and mode-mismatch --- and consider how it affects the BosonSampling protocol, a key application for passive linear optics. For our loss analysis we consider two major components that contribute to loss --- fiber and switches --- and calculate how this affects the success probability and fidelity of the device. Interestingly, we find that errors due to loss are not uniform (unique to time-bin encoding), which asymmetrically biases the implemented unitary. Thus, loss necessarily limits the class of unitaries that may be implemented, and therefore future implementations must prioritise minimising loss rates if arbitrary unitaries are to be implemented. Our formalism for mode-mismatch is generlized to account for various phenomenon that may cause mode-mismatch, but we focus on two --- errors in fiber-loop lengths, and time-jitter of the photon source. These results provide a guideline for how well future experimental implementations might perform in light of these error mechanisms.

Design and Analysis of GUI For Train Traffic Control Case of ERC
Creators: name: Yitagessu H/Michael
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Centralized Traffic Control, commonly named CTC, is the most common way nowadays of controlling train traffic. It is based on the principle of centralizing all information concerning railroad tracks over a given area and to control trains running on it by the mean of a single person, the train dispatcher. This technology needs efficient telecommunications as the employee who dispatches trains is not physically present at a station but more commonly at a remote place, namely the CTC office. The CTC retrieves railway signals and gives useful information to the train dispatcher using good design Graphical User Interface. Although it was a completely hardware device, CTC is now most of the times a software which summarizes signals, headways and trains to allow the train dispatcher taking good decisions, particularly when some trains stop or have delay. Some of CTC are even partially automatic and can take routine decisions by themselves, letting only critical decisions for human control. It also most of the times prevent human errors by avoiding decisions which could result in train collisions.

description: This study investigated the effect of semantic focus on pitch auditory feedback control in the production of phrasal prosody through an experiment using pitch-shifted auditory feedback. We hypothesized that pitch-shift responses would be mediated by semantic focus because highly informative focus types, such as corrective focus, impose more specific constraints on the prosodic form of a phrase and require greater consistency in the production of pitch excursions compared to sentences with no such focus elements. Twenty-eight participants produced sentences with and without corrective focus while their auditory feedback was briefly and unexpectedly perturbed in pitch by +/−200 cents at the start of the sentence. The magnitude and latency of the reflexive pitch-shift responses were measured as a reflection of auditory feedback control. Our results matched our prediction that corrective focus would elicit larger pitch-shift responses, supporting our hypothesis that auditory feedback control is mediated by semantic focus.

description: We address the problem of coordinating online a continuous flow of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) crossing two adjacent intersections in an urban area. We present a decentralized optimal control framework whose solution yields for each vehicle the optimal acceleration/deceleration at any time in the sense of minimizing fuel consumption. The solu- tion, when it exists, allows the vehicles to cross the intersections without the use of traffic lights, without creating congestion on the connecting road, and under the hard safety constraint of collision avoidance. The effectiveness of the proposed solution is validated through simulation considering two intersections located in downtown Boston, and it is shown that coordination of CAVs can reduce significantly both fuel consumption and travel time.

description: In this paper, using the remarkable orthonormal wavelet basis constructed recently by Auscher and Hytönen, we establish the theory of product Hardy spaces on spaces ${\widetilde X} = X_1\times X_2\times\cdot \cdot\cdot\times X_n$, where each factor $X_i$ is a space of homogeneous type in the sense of Coifman and Weiss. The main tool we develop is the Littlewood--Paley theory on $\widetilde X$, which in turn is a consequence of a corresponding theory on each factor space. We define the square function for this theory in terms of the wavelet coefficients. The Hardy space theory developed in this paper includes product~$H^p$, the dual $\cmo^p$ of $H^p$ with the special case $\bmo = \cmo^1$, and the predual $\vmo$ of $H^1$. We also use the wavelet expansion to establish the Calderón--Zygmund decomposition for product $H^p$, and deduce an interpolation theorem. We make no additional assumptions on the quasi-metric or the doubling measure for each factor space, and thus we extend to the full generality of product spaces of homogeneous type the aspects of both one-parameter and multiparameter theory involving the Littlewood--Paley theory and function spaces. Moreover, our methods would be expected to be a powerful tool for developing wavelet analysis on spaces of homogeneous type.

description: Unsupervised GAD methods assume the lack of anomaly labels, i.e., whether a node is anomalous or not. One common observation we made from previous unsupervised methods is that they not only assume the absence of such anomaly labels, but also the absence of class labels (the class a node belongs to used in a general node classification task). In this work, we study the utility of class labels for unsupervised GAD; in particular, how they enhance the detection of structural anomalies. To this end, we propose a Class Label-aware Graph Anomaly Detection framework (CLAD) that utilizes a limited amount of labeled nodes to enhance the performance of unsupervised GAD. Extensive experiments on ten datasets demonstrate the superior performance of CLAD in comparison to existing unsupervised GAD methods, even in the absence of ground-truth class label information. The source code for CLAD is available at \url{https://github.com/jhkim611/CLAD}.

description: Numerous studies have found facilitation for lexical processing in highly constraining contexts. However, less is known about cases in which immediately preceding (local) and broader (global) contextual constraint conflict. In two eye-tracking while reading experiments, local and global context were manipulated independently, creating a critical condition where local context biases towards a word that is incongruent with global context. Global context consisted of a clause introduced by a concessive marker generating broad expectations about upcoming material. Experiment 1 compared high- and low-predictability critical words, whereas Experiment 2 held the critical word constant and manipulated the preceding verb to impose different levels of local constraint. Facilitation from local context was reduced when it was incongruent with global context, supporting models in which information from global and local context is rapidly integrated during early lexical processing over models that would initially prioritise only local or only global context.

description: We develop a kinetic equation approach to nonequilibrium pion and sigma meson production in a time-dependent, chiral symmetry breaking field (inertial mechanism). We investigate the question to what extent the low-momentum pion enhancement observed in heavy-ion collisions at CERN - LHC can be addressed within this formalism. In a first step, we consider the inertial mechanism for nonequilibrium production of $σ-$mesons and their simultaneous decay into pion pairs for two cases of $σ$ mass evolution. The resulting pion distribution shows a strong low-momentum enhancement which can be approximated by a thermal Bose distribution with a chemical potential that appears as a trace of the nonequilibrium process of its production.

description: The current ERP study investigates the role of non-linguistic context in incremental semantic comprehension. Using picture-sentence verification, we examined the neurophysiological correlates of contextual adaptation effects. We manipulated experiment-inherent frequency and tested whether a relatively high ratio of experimental to filler sentences constrains the contextual restriction of the German quantifier alle (“all”). While previous results indicate that the truth evaluation may be postponed when the experimental setting is completely ambiguous with respect to a potentially following restriction, the current study used a higher ratio of non-restricted vs. restricted sentences than the previous one (4:1 vs. 1:1) and thereby tested whether a low restriction probability increases the likelihood of an immediate truth evaluation. Our results show that experiment-inherent frequency distributions immediately modulate the N400 amplitude, analogous to previous studies on speaker reliability.

description: This paper links the Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3) with technological congruence, which stems from the coherence of directed technological change with the structural conditions of local factor markets. We argue that complementary to regional branching, technological congruence is a crucial dimension of S3, and that it has powerful effects on total factor productivity (TFP). The spatial econometrics evidence for European regions over the period 1980–2011 shows that technological congruence has significant effects on TFP, even if potentially mitigated by some market limits that make policy intervention relevant. Therefore, some S3 policy implications are highlighted.

description: Social media users often hold several accounts in their effort to multiply the spread of their thoughts, ideas, and viewpoints. In the particular case of objectionable content, users tend to create multiple accounts to bypass the combating measures enforced by social media platforms and thus retain their online identity even if some of their accounts are suspended. User identity linkage aims to reveal social media accounts likely to belong to the same natural person so as to prevent the spread of abusive/illegal activities. To this end, this work proposes a machine learning-based detection model, which uses multiple attributes of users' online activity in order to identify whether two or more virtual identities belong to the same real natural person. The models efficacy is demonstrated on two cases on abusive and terrorism-related Twitter content.

description: Robust control design for quantum systems has been recognized as a key task in the development of practical quantum technology. In this paper, we present a systematic numerical methodology of sampling-based learning control (SLC) for control design of quantum systems with uncertainties. The SLC method includes two steps of "training" and "testing". In the training step, an augmented system is constructed using artificial samples generated by sampling uncertainty parameters according to a given distribution. A gradient flow based learning algorithm is developed to find the control for the augmented system. In the process of testing, a number of additional samples are tested to evaluate the control performance where these samples are obtained through sampling the uncertainty parameters according to a possible distribution. The SLC method is applied to three significant examples of quantum robust control including state preparation in a three-level quantum system, robust entanglement generation in a two-qubit superconducting circuit and quantum entanglement control in a two-atom system interacting with a quantized field in a cavity. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the SLC approach even when uncertainties are quite large, and show its potential for robust control design of quantum systems.

description: Introduction: HIV/ AIDS continue to be a major global health priority. HIV counseling and testing is a key strategic entry point to prevention, treatment, care and support services. But according to EDHS 2005 voluntary HIV counseling and testing utilization in Ethiopia is low; this means: people living with HIV get testing and counseling only when they already have advanced clinical disease. Assessing willingness of home based HIV counseling and testing service is essential for promoting, expanding and accessing HIV counselling and testing service to the community. Objective: To assess willingness to home based HIV counseling and testing service among residents in Chagni town administration and Guangua wereda. Methodology: Cross-sectional household survey both quantitative and qualitative methods was conducted from August 2010 to June 2011.
Creating a Database of Land Applied Residuals to Predict Contamination in the Cape Fear River Basin, North Carolina
Creators: name: Yeung, Gar
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: The transport and fate of persistent, emerging contaminants like perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are not well understood. One possible source of contamination is from the land applied residuals program, facilitated by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality. To better understand possible sources of contamination, data from permits of the residuals program was used in a land use regression model to predict PFC concentrations over a 16-year period. This model, based on Euclidean distance, shows a small influence of applied residuals on PFC concentration in surface water. Using the database, additional work can be done to implement a model based on river distance, overland distance, and flow rates. Depending on the results, the model can be used to predict PFC concentration for public surface water intake points and provide some insight on drinking water risks.

description: Spatial dependence in stochastic frontier models is usually handled by modelling the frontier function or the inefficiency error term through the introduction of some spatial components. The model proposed in this paper (SDF-CSD) combines the two different modelling approaches, obtaining a full comprehensive specification that introduces four different sources of spatial cross-sectional dependence. The most appealing feature of the model is that it allows capturing global and local spatial spillover effects while controlling for spatial correlation related to firms’ efficiency and to unobserved but spatially correlated variables. Moreover, it can be estimated using maximum likelihood techniques. Finally, some Monte Carlo simulations were run to test the final sample properties of the new spatial estimator and an application to the Italian agricultural sector is provided.

description: Using microsimulations of vehicular dynamics, we studied the effects of several proposed infrastructure developments to the mean travel delay time~$Δ$ and mean speed~$Σ$ of vehicles passing a busy three-road fork, particularly in the non-signalized roundabout junction of Lower Bicutan, Taguig City, Metro Manila. We designed and implemented multi-agent-based microsimulation models to mimic the autonomous driving behavior of heterogeneous individuals and measured the effect of various proposed infrastructure developments on~$Δ$ and~$Σ$. Our aim is to find out the best infrastructure development from among three choices being considered by the local government for the purpose of solving the traffic problems in the area. We created simulation models of the current vehicular traffic situation in the area using the mean travel times~$τ$ of statistically sampled vehicles to show that our model can simulate the real-world at a significance level of $α=0.05$. Based on these models, we then simulated the effect of the proposed infrastructure developments on~$Δ$ and~$Σ$ and used these metrics as our basis of comparison. We found out that the proposed widening of one fork from two lanes to three lanes has the most improved metrics at the same $α=0.05$ compared to the metrics we observed in the current situation. Under this infrastructure development, the~$Δ$ increases linearly ($R^2=0.98$) at the rate of 1.03~$s$, while the~$Σ$ decreases linearly ($R^2>0.99$) at the rate of 0.14~$km/h$ per percent increase in the total vehicle volume~$\mathcal{V}$.

description: We consider a cylindrically symmetric solution for the field equations of Einstein-Hilbert action with a negative cosmological constant in four dimensions. The small statistical fluctuation in the equilibrium thermodynamics of the black string solution is investigated. The small black string under the influence of small statistical fluctuation also follows the first law of thermodynamics. The behaviour of equation of states for black string changes significantly due to the fluctuation. The fluctuation causes instability to the small-sized black string only. Assuming the black string is fluid, the compressibility of the black string is inversely proportional to the fluctuation parameter.

description: This study examines the pricing behaviour in the gasoline market using station-level pricing data from Inner Mongolia, China. The spatial econometric findings confirm that: (1) there is a significant spatial dependence among gas stations; (2) the two state-owned oil giants, PetroChina and Sinopec, receive a positive pricing effect from their brands compared with other stations; (3) there is no significant evidence of price competition among PetroChina stations, and some evidence of competition among Sinopec stations, and more intense competition among other stations; and (4) ‘stand-alone’ (no stations nearby) stations have a price premium, but the premium is limited by the price regulation. Our results show the heterogeneity in pricing behaviour between stations, implying the need for differentiated policies to ensure orderly competition in the retail gasoline market.
Interprofessional collaboration between health sciences librarians and health professions faculty to implement a book club discussion for incoming students

description: Background
The following case example provides an overview of one innovative way to engage health professions faculty with health sciences librarians in the development of an interprofessional book discussion and identifies strategies to address implementation challenges. Academic health sciences librarians worked with the Interprofessional Education (IPE) Steering Committee to organize interprofessional book discussion groups for incoming health professions students. This inaugural book discussion brought together students and faculty of different disciplines to engage students in “learning from, with, and about” other professions.

Case Presentation
When Breath Becomes Air, by Paul Kalanithi, allowed involved discussions on important health sciences issues. The project included outreach, designing pre- and post-surveys, scheduling participants, and communicating with all participants before, during, and after the event. A total of seventy-nine students and thirty-six faculty, representing all health professions schools, participated in the small group IPE book discussions over two weeks.

Conclusions
Small group book discussions have been shown to be an effective tool to engage students and faculty in IPE. The results of the participant surveys were positive, and the IPE Steering Committee found value in including health sciences librarians throughout the process. Lessons learned from the pilot project include needing an efficient scheduling system, strongly communicating at all stages of the project, and starting the planning process months ahead of time. The IPE Steering Committee plans to conduct similar book discussions every fall semester moving forward and explore options for other IPE events.

description: When a new product or technology is introduced, potential consumers can learn its quality by trying the product, at a risk, or by letting others try it and free-riding on the information that they generate. We propose a dynamic game to study the adoption of technologies of uncertain value, when agents are connected by a network and a monopolist seller chooses a policy to maximize profits. Consumers with low degree (few friends) have incentives to adopt early, while consumers with high degree have incentives to free ride. The seller can induce high-degree consumers to adopt early by offering referral incentives - rewards to early adopters whose friends buy in the second period. Referral incentives thus lead to a `double-threshold strategy' by which low and high-degree agents adopt the product early while middle-degree agents wait. We show that referral incentives are optimal on certain networks while inter-temporal price discrimination (i.e., a first-period price discount) is optimal on others, and discuss welfare implications.
