description: Simulations of pulverised coal combustion rely on various models, required in order to correctly approximate the flow, chemical reactions, and behavior of solid particles. These models, in turn, rely on multiple model parameters, which are determined through experiments or small-scale simulations and contain a certain level of uncertainty. The competing effects of transport, particle physics, and chemistry give rise to various scales and disparate dynamics, making it a very challenging problem to analyse. Therefore, the steady combustion process of a single solid particle is considered as a starting point for this study. As an added complication, the large number of parameters present in such simulations makes a purely forward approach to sensitivity analysis very expensive and almost infeasible. Therefore, the use of adjoint-based algorithms, to identify and quantify the underlying sensitivities and uncertainties, is proposed. This adjoint framework bears a great advantage in this case, where a large input space is analysed, since a single forward and backward sweep provides sensitivity information with respect to all parameters of interest. In order to investigate the applicability of such methods, both discrete and continuous adjoints are considered, and compared to the conventional approaches, such as finite differences, and forward sensitivity analysis. Various quantities of interest are considered, and sensitivities with respect to the relevant combustion parameters are reported for two different freestream compositions, describing air and oxy-atmospheres. This study serves as a benchmark for future research, where unsteady and finally turbulent cases will be considered.

description: This paper addresses the problem of domain adaptation for the task of music source separation. Using datasets from two different domains, we compare the performance of a deep learning-based harmonic-percussive source separation model under different training scenarios, including supervised joint training using data from both domains and pre-training in one domain with fine-tuning in another. We propose an adversarial unsupervised domain adaptation approach suitable for the case where no labelled data (ground-truth source signals) from a target domain is available. By leveraging unlabelled data (only mixtures) from this domain, experiments show that our framework can improve separation performance on the new domain without losing any considerable performance on the original domain. The paper also introduces the Tap & Fiddle dataset, a dataset containing recordings of Scandinavian fiddle tunes along with isolated tracks for 'foot-tapping' and 'violin'.

description: A global twistor correspondence is established for neutral self-dual conformal structures with alpha-surface foliation when the structure is close to the standard structure on S^2 times S^2. We need to introduce some singularity for the alpha-surface foliation such that the leaves intersect on a fixed two sphere. In this correspondence, we prove that a natural double fibration is induced on some quotient spaces which is equal to the standard double fibration for the standard Zoll projective structure. We also give a local general forms of neutral self-dual metrics with alpha-surface foliation.

description: Even though definitions have a way of making things seem more certain than they are, it is useful to define the characteristics of the experiential learning process by offering a working definition of learning. In this article Ι have attempted to locate these characteristics based on a comparative approach of models of experiential learning as presented by Lewin, Dewey, Piaget and Kolb. The outcome of this approach is that learning is the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience. This definition emphasizes several critical aspects of the learning process as viewed from the experiential perspective. First is the emphasis on the process of adaptation and learning as opposed to content or outcomes. Second is that knowledge is a transformation process, being continuously created and recreated, not an independent entity to be acquired or transmitted. Third, learning transforms experience in both its objective and subjective forms. Finally, to understand learning, we must understand the nature of knowledge, and vice versa.

description: The purpose of this Master thesis was to study the motives that led to the Greek Revolution of 1821, the help that American Philhellenes offered and the similarities that both sides observed as well as the mutual respect that there was between the Americans and the Greeks of the time. Information from various historical books as well as letters and articles were included and studied. An important purpose of this thesis was to analyze the deeper motives of the American aid, the American public's opinion and lastly official and unofficial Americans' documents which had as a purpose to promote Philhellenism to the United States of America. Another significant aspect was the creation of the Greek 'national myth' and 'the Hellenization of the Greeks' which contributed to the invention of the Greek nation and the perception of the Greeks as 'the new Israel', 'the chosen people' thanks to their glorious past and the fact that they were the descendants of ancient Greeks. Finally, we come to the conclusion that official 'neutral' American support was not what was expected by the Greeks but also by the American Philhellenes.

Protein function prediction via Gaussian Graphlet Kernel
Creators: name: Milani, Morteza

Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2015

description: Protein functions are key points to understand various biological processes. Experimental determination of protein functions is expensive and time-consuming. Therefore the need for computational techniques is essential. These techniques are based on the idea of assigning functions to unknown proteins according to known functions of similar proteins. Many different measures of similarity are introduced and many different frameworks compare proteins according to these measures. Since structure of a protein is more conserved during the evolution, recent methods usually use protein structures to find similarities between them. An efficient approach to compare tertiary structure of proteins is to model them as graphs. Usually, a machine-learning framework, specifically a kernel method like SVM, is used to compare these graphs and classify them into functional families. Representing graphs as vectors of features is a necessary part of using SVM. In our work we model proteins as contact graphs and introduce gaussian graphlet kernel to determine functional class membership of enzymes and also classify them as enzymes and non-enzymes. Graphlets are small induced subgraphs with three to five nodes that are considered as feature vectors in our method. We show that an SVM machine learned on these vectors using an RBF kernel can predict protein functions with high accuracy. To evaluate our method, we test the results of protein function prediction quality on two data sets, ENZYMES and D&D. It is shown that this method outperforms traditional methods like BLAST and even other kernel-based methods on both accuracy and runtime.

description: A complete set of diagnostic tools aimed at producing synthetic synchrotron emissivity, polarization, and spectral index maps from relativistic MHD simulations is presented. As a first application we consider here the case of the emission from Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe). The proposed method is based on the addition, on top of the basic set of MHD equations, of an extra equation describing the evolution of the maximum energy of the emitting particles. This equation takes into account adiabatic and synchrotron losses along streamlines for the distribution of emitting particles and its formulation is such that it is easily implemented in any numerical scheme for relativistic MHD. Application to the axisymmetric simulations of PWNe, analogous to those described by Del Zanna et al. (2004, A&A, 421, 1063), allows direct comparison between the numerical results and observations of the inner structure of the Crab Nebula, and similar objects, in the optical and X-ray bands. We are able to match most of the observed features typical of PWNe, like the equatorial torus and the polar jets, with velocities in the correct range, as well as finer emission details, like arcs, rings and the bright knot, that turn out to arise mainly from Doppler boosting effects. Spectral properties appear to be well reproduced too: detailed spectral index maps are produced for the first time and show softening towards the PWN outer borders, whereas spectral breaks appear in integrated spectra. The emission details are found to strongly depend on both the average wind magnetization (here approximately 2%), and on the magnetic field shape.

"Take it away, youth" : visions of Canadian identity in British Columbia social studies textbooks, 1925-1989
Creators: name: Clark, Penney Irene
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Textbooks are a "cultural artifact" in that they are developed and approved for use . in schools within particular sociocultural and educational contexts. As such, they offer a glimpse of those contexts. This study examined 169 social.studies textbooks approved for use in the schools of British Columbia following three educational turning points: the 1925 Putman-Weir Report, the 1960 Chant Report, and the 1970 establishment of the Canada Studies Foundation. The textbooks were examined to ascertain the views of Canadian; identity which they conveyed and how those views were redefined over time. In the Putman-Weir era, Canadian identity involved a sense of increasing independence within an enveloping allegiance to Great Britain and its empire. Textbooks encouraged the adoption of characteristics of good citizenship such as loyalty to country and empire, through the use of heroic figures. The concept of Canadian identity was both inclusive and exclusive; It was a gendered concept, excluding women. It was inclusive of most immigrants because they were needed to people the land. It was exclusive of Oriental inirnigrants because they were viewed as unable to assimilate. It also excluded Native people, who were seen as being unable to contribute to national progress. In the Chant era, Canada's independence from Great Britain began to be taken for granted. Textbooks were more concerned with Canada's relationship to the United States and its role on the world stage. Textbook authors saw a thriving anti-Americanism as an important part of what made Canadians Canadian. "Canadianness" included women only in peripheral roles. Immigrants, other than Oriental, received a joyous welcome in these texts. These "new Canadians" were expected to contribute to the ongoing tide of progress in which Canadians were engaged. A negative tone pervaded discussion of Native peoples. The Canada Studies era was characterized by two dominant movements. These were promotion of Canadian nationhood and a greater inclusiveness. Ironically, pride in Canada, as well as optimism for its future, was less evident in the Canada Studies era texts. Inclusion was the watchword of this era.
Polarisation of Accreting X-ray Pulsars. II. Hercules X-1

description: We employ our new model for the polarised emission of accreting X-ray pulsars to describe the emission from the luminous X-ray pulsar Hercules X-1. In contrast with previous works, our model predicts the polarisation parameters independently of spectral formation, and considers the structure and dynamics of the accretion column, as well as the additional effects on propagation due to general relativity and quantum electrodynamics. We find that our model can describe the observed pulse fraction and the pulse shape of the main peak, as well as the modulation of the cyclotron line with phase. We pick two geometries, assuming a single accretion column or two columns at the magnetic poles, that can describe current observations of pulse shape and cyclotron modulation with phase. Both models predict a high polarisation fraction, between 60 and 80\% in the $1-10$ keV range, that is phase- and energy-dependent, and that peaks at the same phase as the intensity. The phase and energy dependence of the polarisation fraction and of the polarisation angle can help discern between the different geometries.

Structural basis of the effect of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus-Associated mutations in NCF2 on the activity of NADPH oxidase

description: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disorder associated with mutations in multiple genes, including NCF2. We found that mutation H389Q in NCF2 is a SLE risk factor in North Americans of European or Hispanic descent and mutation R395W is independently associated with SLE in Hispanics. Both mutations are within the PB1 domain of NCF2, which binds the PB1 domain of NCF4. NCF1, NCF2 and NCF4 are the cytosolic subunits of NADPH oxidase, a multiple subunits complex, important for the generation of reactive oxygen species. Upon activation the cytosolic subunits translocate to the membrane where together with RAC-GTP they form the active NOX2 complex. Dissociation of RAC-GDP and formation of RAC-GTP is regulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) such as VAV1. NCF2 interacts directly with VAV1, enhances its GEF activity and amplifies RAC nucleotide exchange and NADPH oxidase activation. The structural effect of the SLE-related NCF2 mutations was revealed by modeling the interaction of NCF2/NCF4 with VAV1. NCF2 H389 interacts with the zinc finger domain of VAV1 while R395 interacts with the C-terminus of NCF4 and together they bind to VAV1 DH domain. The mutations weaken or disrupt the binding. The two-point interaction of NCF2/NCF4 with VAV1 stabilizes VAV1 in a conformation adequate for nucleotide-free RAC1 binding. R395 also stabilizes the conformation of NCF2 loop 395-402 and our model of the complex NCF2/NCF4/VAV1/RAC1 suggests that this loop also interacts with RAC1 insertion domain and switch-II, contributing to the stabilization of nucleotide-free RAC1 and enhancing nucleotide exchange.

description: Human tumor xenografts represent the gold standard method for research areas such as drug discovery, cancer stem cell biology, and metastasis prediction.
During the growth phase in vivo, xenografted tissue is vascularized and infiltrated by cells of mouse origin. Due to this, a strong impact of mouse-derived reads on downstream NGS analyses can be expected.

To overcome these limitations, we have developed a fast and easy method (MCD) allowing for the comprehensive depletion of mouse cells by using automated tissue dissociation and magnetic cell sorting (MACS). We have performed whole exome sequencing of bulk human tumor xenografts from lung, bladder, and kidney cancer, and compared the results to samples depleted of mouse cells. A significant increase in read counts (33%) was observed after MCD, indicating improved sample quality.

We mapped the reads of all samples against human and mouse genomes and determined their putative origin. An average of 12% of reads derived from non-depleted samples was assigned to mouse cells. This amount could be reduced to 0.3% by MCD.

A strong impact of MCD was observed on SNP calling: 63±10% of all SNPs predicted for the non-depleted samples could no longer be detected after MCD, 18±1% were specific for the depleted xenograft samples, probably due to higher coverage.

Taken together, MCD significantly improves the analysis of human tumor xenografts by NGS. As this effect was observed although a human sequence specific selection has been carried out during exome enrichment, the influence on whole genome and transcriptome sequencing is expected to be even more prominent.

description: Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is an effective tool in experimental fluid mechanics to extract flow fields from images. Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been used to perform PIV analysis with accuracy on par with classical methods. Here we extend the use of CNNs to analyze PIV data while providing simultaneous uncertainty quantification on the inferred flow field. The method we apply in this paper is a Bayesian convolutional neural network (BCNN) which learns distributions of the CNN weights through variational Bayes. We compare the performance of three different BCNN models. The first network estimates flow velocity from image interrogation regions only. Our second model learns to infer velocity from both the image interrogation regions and interrogation region cross-correlation maps. Finally, our best performing network derives velocities from interrogation region cross-correlation maps only. We find that BCNNs using interrogation region cross-correlation maps as inputs perform better than those using interrogation windows only as inputs and discuss reasons why this may be the case. Additionally, we test the best performing BCNN on a full test image pair, showing that 100% of true particle displacements can be captured within its 95% confidence interval. Finally, we show that BCNNs can be generalized to be used with multi-pass PIV algorithms with a moderate loss in accuracy, which may be overcome by future work on finetuning and training schemes. To our knowledge, this is the first effort to use Bayesian neural networks to perform particle image velocimetry.
Cancer cell line response to compound dose change

description: Dose information plays a key role in interpreting drug effects. This pivotal role has been recognized since the 16th century by Paracelsus: “All things are poison, and nothing is without poison: the dose alone makes a thing not poison.”

Dose response models are commonly used to evaluate drug’s effects in biochemical and cell-based assays. Pharmacological terms such as EC50, which refers to the drug’s concentration that induces a response half way between the base line and maximum concentration, are widely used in drug discovery researches.

On the other hand, transcription-profiling experiments are usually performed at only one dose concentration and effects are identified by variance analysis. These single dose transcription-profiles are not suitable to distinguish effects with different potencies; hence they limit the utility of expression data in comparison to other bioassays.

In this contribution we present the result of analysis of a cancer cell line response to compound treatment at 3 different dose concentrations (being DMSO, 5 µM and 10 µM). The response of the prostate cancer cell line (PC3) to a set of 561 small-molecule compounds has been measured in terms of gene expression, after 24 hours.

The aim of this study is to identify genes that have been changed in response to the change of the dose concentration for each compound and to investigate common factors such as structure, protein target(s) or pathway motif similarity among compounds that exhibit similar gene expression patterns in response to dose concentration change.

description: Deep neural network is an effective choice to automatically recognize human actions utilizing data from various wearable sensors. These networks automate the process of feature extraction relying completely on data. However, various noises in time series data with complex inter-modal relationships among sensors make this process more complicated. In this paper, we have proposed a novel multi-stage training approach that increases diversity in this feature extraction process to make accurate recognition of actions by combining varieties of features extracted from diverse perspectives. Initially, instead of using single type of transformation, numerous transformations are employed on time series data to obtain variegated representations of the features encoded in raw data. An efficient deep CNN architecture is proposed that can be individually trained to extract features from different transformed spaces. Later, these CNN feature extractors are merged into an optimal architecture finely tuned for optimizing diversified extracted features through a combined training stage or multiple sequential training stages. This approach offers the opportunity to explore the encoded features in raw sensor data utilizing multifarious observation windows with immense scope for efficient selection of features for final convergence. Extensive experimentations have been carried out in three publicly available datasets that provide outstanding performance consistently with average five-fold cross-validation accuracy of 99.29% on UCI HAR database, 99.02% on USC HAR database, and 97.21% on SKODA database outperforming other state-of-the-art approaches.

Molecular Cloud Turbulence And The Star Formation Efficiency: Enlarging the Scope

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We summarize recent numerical results on the control of the star formation efficiency (SFE), addressing the effects of turbulence and the magnetic field strength. In closed-box numerical simulations, the effect of the turbulent Mach number $\Ms$ depends on whether the turbulence is driven or decaying: In driven regimes, increasing $\Ms$ decreases the SFE, while in decaying regimes the converse is true. The efficiencies in non-magnetic cases for realistic Mach numbers $\Ms \sim 10$ are somewhat too high compared to observed values. Including the magnetic field can bring the SFE down to levels consistent with observations, but the intensity of the magnetic field necessary to accomplish this depends again on whether the turbulence is driven or decaying. In this kind of simulations, a lifetime of the molecular cloud (MC) needs to be assumed. Further progress requires determining the true nature of the turbulence driving and the lifetimes of the clouds. Simulations of MC formation by large-scale compressions in the warm neutral medium (WNM) show that the clouds' initial turbulence is produced by the accumulation process that forms them, and that the turbulence is driven for as long as this process lasts, producing realistic velocity dispersions and also thermal pressures in excess of the mean WNM value. In simulations including self-gravity, but neglecting the magnetic field and stellar energy feedback, the clouds never reach an equilibrium state, but rather evolve secularly, increasing their mass and gravitational energy until they engage in generalized gravitational collapse. However, local collapse events begin midways through this process, and produce enough stellar objetcs to disperse the cloud or at least halt its collapse before the latter is completed.

Το δείγμα της έρευνας ήταν γονείς, 6 ιστορικοί μετανάστες δεύτερης και τρίτης γενιάς, απόγονοι των Αρμενίων που ήρθαν στην Ελλάδα κατά τη διάρκεια της περιόδου 1920-1923 και 5 οικονομικοί μετανάστες, δηλαδή Αρμένιοι που ήρθαν στην Ελλάδα από το 1990 και μετά. Ερευνήσαμε μεταξύ άλλων τη χρήση των δύο γλωσσών μέσα στην οικογένεια, τις γλωσσικές δεξιότητες των παιδιών στην αρμενική γλώσσα, τις στάσεις και τις πρακτικές των γονιών για τη διατήρηση της αρμενικής γλώσσας και της διπολιτισμικής ταυτότητας των παιδιών τους, όπως επίσης και τις αντιλήψεις των γονιών σχετικά με τον ρόλο του ελληνικού σχολείου και της ελληνικής κοινωνίας στη διατήρηση της διγλωσσίας και της διπολιτισμικής ταυτότητας των παιδιών τους. Η έρευνα έδειξε ότι ο ρόλος των γονιών είναι ιδιαίτερα σημαντικός. Οι στάσεις τους και οι πρακτικές τους επηρεάζονται, τόσο από τις διαφορετικές μεταναστευτικές τους εμπειρίες, όσο και από τις κοινωνικοπολιτισμικές, πολιτικές και οικονομικές συνθήκες που επικρατούν στο ελληνικό περιβάλλον.
description: The aim of the present thesis was the presentation of the survey that we carried out concerning the preservation of bilingualism and bicultural identity of children of the historical and economic immigrants of the Armenian Community of Thessaloniki. The survey was based on the qualitative method of content analysis. The sample of the survey consisted of parents, 6 historical immigrants of second and third generation, descendants of the Armenians who came to Greece during the period 1920-1923 and 5 economic immigrants, i.e. Armenians who came to Greece from 1990 and on. Among other issues, we investigated the use of the two languages within the family, the language skills of children in armenian language, the attitudes and the practices of parents aiming at the preservation of armenian language and bicultural identity of their children, as well as parents' perceptions about the role of greek school and the role of greek society in the preservation of bilingualism and bicultural identity of their children. The survey showed that the role of parents is especially important. Their attitudes and practices are influenced both by their different migration experiences, as well as by the sociocultural, political and economic conditions prevailing in the greek environment.

description: Motivated by the recent experimental observation of quantum oscillations in the underdoped cuprates, we study the cyclotron and infrared Hall effective masses in an anisotropic Fermi liquid characterized by an angle-dependent quasiparticle residue Z_q, which models an arc-shaped Fermi surface. Our primary motivation is to explain the relatively large value of the cyclotron effective mass observed experimentally and its relation with the effective Hall mass. In the framework of a phenomenological model of an anisotropic Fermi liquid, we find that the cyclotron mass is enhanced by a factor <1/Z_q>, while the effective Hall mass is proportional to / , where implies an averaging over the Fermi surface. We conclude that if the Z-factor becomes small in some part of the Fermi surface (e.g., in the case of a Fermi arc), the cyclotron mass is enhanced sharply while the infrared Hall mass may remain small. Possible future experiments are discussed.

description: The study of resolved stellar populations in the Milky Way and other Local Group galaxies can provide us with a fossil record of their chemo-dynamical and star-formation histories over timescales of many billions of years. In the galactic components and stellar systems of the Milky Way and its satellites, individual stars can be resolved. Therefore, they represent a unique laboratory in which to investigate the details of the processes behind the formation and evolution of the disc and dwarf/irregular galaxies. MOONS at the VLT represents a unique combination of an efficient infrared multi-object spectrograph and a large-aperture 8-m-class telescope which will sample the cool stellar populations of the dense central regions of the Milky Way and its satellites, delivering accurate radial velocities, metallicities, and other chemical abundances for several millions of stars over its lifetime (see Cirasuolo et al., this issue). MOONS will observe up to 1000 targets across a 25-arcminute field of view in the optical and near-infrared (0.6-1.8 micron) simultaneously. A high-resolution (R~19700) setting in the H band has been designed for the accurate determination of stellar abundances such as alpha, light, iron-peak and neutron-capture elements.

description: Automatic defect detection is a challenging task because of the variability in texture and type of fabric defects. An effective defect detection system enables manufacturers to improve the quality of processes and products. Automation across the textile manufacturing systems would reduce fabric wastage and increase profitability by saving cost and resources. There are different contemporary research on automatic defect detection systems using image processing and machine learning techniques. These techniques differ from each other based on the manufacturing processes and defect types. Researchers have also been able to establish real-time defect detection system during weaving. Although, there has been research on patterned fabric defect detection, these defects are related to weaving faults such as holes, and warp and weft defects. But, there has not been any research that is designed to detect defects that arise during such as spot and print mismatch. This research has fulfilled this gap by developing a print fabric database and implementing deep convolutional neural network (CNN).

description: The purpose of this research was to detect students' conceptions about the structure and the function of the human digestive system. Seven primary schools, with 6 experimental classes and 5 control classes participated in this research. A written questionnaire was answered by the 118 (10-11 years-old) students before and after a nine-hour constructivist teaching intervention. The control groups (100 students 10-11 years-old) followed a traditional teacher-directed class and were pre- and post-tested using the same questionnaire. Before the teaching most of the students held not scientifically acceptable conceptions about the structure and the function of the digestive system and they did not know the association between digestive and circulatory system. After the intervention in the experimental groups the number of students holding scientifically acceptable conceptions was significantly increased, while in the control groups students' initial ideas resisted teaching and did not improve to more scientific one.

description: To gain a better understanding of high-energy Galactic sources, we observed the Galactic X-ray binary and black hole candidate XTE J1720-318 in the optical and near-infrared, just after the onset of its X-ray outburst in January, 2003. These observations were obtained with the ESO/NTT as a Target of Opportunity, in February and April 2003. We performed an accurate astrometry and analysed photometrical observations. We then produced a colour-magnitude diagram, looked at the overall evolution of the multi-wavelength light curve, and analysed the spectral energy distribution. We discovered the optical counterpart in the R-band (R ~ 21.5) and confirmed the near-infrared counterpart. We show that, for an absorption between 6 and 8 magnitudes, XTE J1720-318 is likely to be an intermediate mass X-ray binary located at a distance between 3 and 10 kpc, hosting a main sequence star of spectral type between late B and early G. Our second set of observations took place simultaneously with the third secondary outburst present in X-ray and near-infrared light curves. The evolution of its spectral energy distribution shows that XTE J1720-318 entered a transition from a high-soft to a low-hard state in-between the two observations. We finally discuss the different phases of the outburst of this source in the general scheme of outbursts from microquasars.
