description: The tools for authoring multimedia presentations start with sophisticated interactive tools like Director and ToolBook.  However, to make the presentations truly interactive requires programming in “scripting languages.”  These languages have generally been difficult to learn for non-programmers.  “Interactive behaviors” allow users to click on, move, or otherwise interact with objects on the screen, as opposed to just watching the presentation like a TV show.  Behaviors range from simply clicking on buttons or links, to sophisticated interactions with computerized characters.  This paper presents a variety of ways we are studying to make authoring of these interactive behaviors more accessible to non-programmers.  One approach is “demonstrational” techniques, where the author gives examples of the desired actions and results, and the system generates the code to perform the same actions at run time.  Using demonstrational techniques has proven successful for specifying simple behaviors.  To represent the behaviors and allow the author to edit them, we are investigating new languages which are designed to be more “natural” because they are based on how non-programmers actually think about these tasks.  Human-factors studies have been performed to investigate how people naturally express algorithms.  These studies have revealed some general principles which can be applied to the design of new languages, such as that a general case is often expressed first, with exceptions afterwards, and that loops are avoided by applying operations to sets of objects.  Using these new results, along with results from the fields of Empirical Studies of Programmers and Human-Computer Interaction, we can create languages that are easier to learn and more effective to use.  This will enable a wider range of people to read, generate and modify the code.

description: There has been rapid development of systems that yield strong interactions between freely propagating photons in one dimension via controlled coupling to quantum emitters. This raises interesting possibilities such as quantum information processing with photons or quantum many-body states of light, but treating such systems generally remains a difficult task theoretically. Here, we describe a novel technique in which the dynamics and correlations of a few photons can be exactly calculated, based upon knowledge of the initial photonic state and the solution of the reduced effective dynamics of the quantum emitters alone. We show that this generalized "input-output" formalism allows for a straightforward numerical implementation regardless of system details, such as emitter positions, external driving, and level structure. As a specific example, we apply our technique to show how atomic systems with infinite-range interactions and under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency enable the selective transmission of correlated multi-photon states.

description: How can an agent bootstrap up from a pixel-level representation to autonomously learn high-level states and actions using only domain-general knowledge? In this paper we assume that the learning agent has a set of continuous variables describing the environment. There exist methods for learning models of the environment, and there also exist methods for planning. However, for autonomous learning, these methods have been used almost exclusively in discrete environments.
We propose attacking the problem of learning high-level states and actions in continuous environments by using a qualitative representation to bridge the gap between continuous and discrete variable representations. In this approach, the agent begins with a broad discretization and initially can only tell if the value of each variable is increasing, decreasing, or remaining steady. The agent then simultaneously learns a qualitative representation (discretization) and a set of predictive models of the environment. These models are converted into plans to perform actions. The agent then uses those learned actions to explore the environment.
The method is evaluated using a simulated robot with realistic physics. The robot is sitting at a table that contains a block and other distractor objects that are out of reach. The agent autonomously explores the environment without being given a task. After learning, the agent is given various tasks to determine if it learned the necessary states and actions to complete them. The results show that the agent was able to use this method to autonomously learn to perform the tasks.

description: We calculate the CMB $μ$-distortion and the angular power spectrum of its cross-correlation with the temperature anisotropy in the presence of the non-Gaussian neutrino isocurvature density (NID) mode. While the pure Gaussian NID perturbations give merely subdominant contribution to $$ and vanishing $< μT>$, the latter quantity can be large enough to be detected in the future when the NID perturbations $\mathcal S(\mathbf x)$ are proportional to the square of a Gaussian field $g(\mathbf x)$, i.e. $\mathcal S({\mathbf x})\propto g^2({\mathbf x})$. In particular, large $< μT>$ can be realized since Gaussian-squared perturbations can yield a relatively large bispectrum, satisfying the constraints from the power spectrum of CMB anisotropies, i.e. $\mathcal{P}_\mathcal{SS}(k_0) \sim\mathcal{P}_g^2(k_0)\lesssim10^{-10}$ at $k_0=0.05$ Mpc$^{-1}$. We also forecast constraints from the CMB temperature and E-mode polarisation bispectra, and show that $\mathcal{P}_g(k_0)\lesssim10^{-5}$ would be allowed from Planck data. We find that $< μ>$ and $|l(l+1)C^{μT}_l|$ can respectively be as large as $10^{-9}$ and $10^{-14}$ with uncorrelated scale-invariant NID perturbations for $\mathcal{P}_g(k_0)=10^{-5}$. When the spectrum of the Gaussian field is blue-tilted (with spectral index $n_g \simeq 1.5$), $< μT>$ can be enhanced by an order of magnitude.

description: This paper develops a theory of collaboration through superposition: the process of depositing separate layers on top of each other over time. The theory is developed in a study of development of community-based Free and Open Source Software (FLOSS), through a research arc of discovery (participant observation), replication (two archival case studies) and formalization (a model of developer choices). The theory explains two key findings: 1) the overwhelming majority of work is accomplished with only a single programmer working on a task and 2) when tasks appear too large for an individual they are more likely to be deferred until they are easier, rather than being undertaken through structured teamwork. It is theorized that this way of organizing is key to successful open collaboration where the IT artifact is the object of collaboration, because it allows the co-production of technically interdependent artifacts through motivationally interdependent work. The affordances of software as an object of collaboration are used as a framework to analyze efforts to learn from FLOSS in other domains of work and in the IS function of for-profit organizations.

description: Molecular contamination of a grazing incidence collector for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography was experimentally studied. A carbon film was found to have grown under irradiation from a pulsed tin plasma discharge. Our studies show that the film is chemically inert and has characteristics that are typical for a hydrogenated amorphous carbon film. It was experimentally observed that the film consists of carbon (~70 at. %), oxygen (~20 at. %) and hydrogen (bound to oxygen and carbon), along with a few at. % of tin. Most of the oxygen and hydrogen are most likely present as OH groups, chemically bound to carbon, indicating an important role for adsorbed water during the film formation process. It was observed that the film is predominantly sp3 hybridized carbon, as is typical for diamond-like carbon. The Raman spectra of the film, under 514 and 264 nm excitation, are typical for hydrogenated diamond-like carbon. Additionally, the lower etch rate and higher energy threshold in chemical ion sputtering in H2 plasma, compared to magnetron-sputtered carbon films, suggests that the film exhibits diamond-like carbon properties.

description: People often use software for mundane tasks and expect it to be dependable enough for their needs. Unfortunately, the incomplete and imprecise specifications of such everyday software inhibit many dependability enhancement techniques because these require a model of proper behavior for failure detection. We offer a user-centered approach for creating a model of proper behavior. This approach is based on satisfying the user expectations - software behavior the user relies on - rather than demanding perfect specifications. It utilizes data mining through a novel template mechanism, to help users make their expectations precise. The resulting precise expectations can then serve as proxies for missing specifications in detecting unexpected data behavior. We concentrate on data feeds; continuous streams of data, a challenging example of everyday software. Using our method on a real world data feed, it took just hours to detect problems that had taken the data providers months to detect independently. These problems surprised even our user - a domain expert that had previously analyzed the same data feed. Systematic analysis further supports the usefulness of our method.

description: We present simultaneous multi-color optical photometry using ULTRACAM of the transiting exoplanet KIC 12557548 b (also known as KIC 1255 b). This reveals, for the first time, the color dependence of the transit depth. Our g and z transits are similar in shape to the average Kepler short-cadence profile, and constitute the highest-quality extant coverage of individual transits. Our Night 1 transit depths are 0.85 +/- 0.04% in z; 1.00 +/- 0.03% in g; and 1.1 +/- 0.3% in u. We employ a residual-permutation method to assess the impact of correlated noise on the depth difference between the z and g bands and calculate the significance of the color dependence at 3.2σ. The Night 1 depths are consistent with dust extinction as observed in the ISM, but require grain sizes comparable to the largest found in the ISM: 0.25-1μm. This provides direct evidence in favor of this object being a disrupting low-mass rocky planet, feeding a transiting dust cloud. On the remaining four nights of observations the object was in a rare shallow-transit phase. If the grain size in the transiting dust cloud changes as the transit depth changes, the extinction efficiency is expected to change in a wavelength- and composition-dependent way. Observing a change in the wavelength-dependent transit depth would offer an unprecedented opportunity to determine the composition of the disintegrating rocky body KIC 12557548 b. We detected four out-of-transit u band events consistent with stellar flares.

We consider the $C^*$-algebra $C^*_δ(S)$ generated by the operators of translation by all elements of $S$ in $L^2(S)$. We show that this algebra admits a comultiplication which turns it into a compact quantum semigroup. The same is proved for the von Neumann algebra $VN(S)$ generated by $C^*_δ(S)$.

description: A taxa de mortalidade infantil (TMI) é um importante indicador para avaliação da situação socioeconômica e qualidade da assistência à saúde de uma população (BRASIL, 2021). Em comparação com a série histórica brasileira, o indicador encontra-se em queda (FUNDAÇÃO ABRINQ, 2022), o que é explicado pela simultânea redução do número de nascidos vivos, o menor desde 1998 (IBGE, 2020). Apesar disso, a taxa ainda é considerada alta, uma vez que 65,8% dos óbitos de menores de um ano são considerados reduzíveis a partir do acesso à atenção à gestação, ao parto, ao recém-nascido, ou através de ações de tratamento, diagnóstico adequado e promoção à saúde (FUNDAÇÃO ABRINQ, 2022). De forma global, a TMI tem decrescido, principalmente em virtude de acordos globais e políticas para sua redução. Entretanto, ainda permanece elevada nos países de menor renda e com maiores desigualdades sociais (WHO, 2020) e em regiões específicas, como as fronteiras (FARIA, 2022). As áreas de fronteira são faixas diversas que apresentam particularidades relacionadas aos movimentos de imigração, profundas desigualdades e forte impacto dos determinantes sociais. Também são consideradas locais de privação social e de saúde. No Brasil, apresentam as maiores TMI, principalmente nas fronteiras do Centro-Oeste e Norte do país, onde a taxa chega até 19,4% (FARIA, 2022). Outras estudos de regiões de fronteira também apontam para semelhantes tendências, como na Colômbia e Venezuela (MOGOLLÓN-PASTRÁN; GARCÍA-UBAQUE, 2016), México (MCDONALD et al, 2018) e Etiópia (TESEMA et al, 2020). Devido à importância do indicador de mortalidade infantil e às diferenças geográficas entre os países, o estudo tem como objetivo mapear o conhecimento disponível na literatura sobre a mortalidade infantil nas regiões de fronteira internacionais.

description: This paper briefly distills the lessons learned from almost 100 reviews of industry embedded software projects. What I found was that even developers without formal training tend to get the basics right if they have spent time working their way through intro to embedded books and a few hands-on learning projects. There are a number of more advanced technical problems that tend to surface in embedded projects (for example, concurrency management). But, more of the risks stem from having a poor engineering process, cutting corners on quality assurance, or believing all you need is source code to succeed. As design engineers we might like to dwell on nitty-gritty technical aspects. But there is more to success than that. Embedded developers need to deal with the higher level risk areas I identify, and can benefit from the concrete best practices described.

description: We have studied the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in the shape-memory Heusler alloy Ni$_{50}$Mn$_{35}$In$_{15}$ by direct measurements in pulsed magnetic fields up to 6 and 20 T. The results in 6 T are compared with data obtained from heat-capacity experiments. We find a saturation of the inverse MCE, related to the first-order martensitic transition, with a maximum adiabatic temperature change of $ΔT_{ad} = -7$ K at 250 K and a conventional field-dependent MCE near the second-order ferromagnetic transition in the austenitic phase. The pulsed magnetic field data allow for an analysis of the temperature response of the sample to the magnetic field on a time scale of $\sim 10$ to 100 ms which is on the order of typical operation frequencies (10 to 100 Hz) of magnetocaloric cooling devices. Our results disclose that in shape-memory alloys the different contributions to the MCE and hysteresis effects around the martensitic transition have to be carefully considered for future cooling applications.

description: This thesis focuses on the effects of different grouping strategies (homogeneous and heterogeneous) on learning of college-level students in cooperative learning contexts. The main findings are: (1) heterogeneous grouping based on student ability is more beneficial for student achievement and student satisfaction; high and medium level ability students benefit more in homogeneous groups but low level ability students benefit more in heterogeneous groups; (2) no consistent conclusion could be drawn about effects of grouping from studies in which groups were based on race and culture; (3) heterogeneous grouping based on learning styles is more beneficial for student satisfaction with their learning and their attitudes toward other students rather than student achievement; and (4) studies in which groups were based on personal characteristics support heterogeneous grouping, but the results of experiments differed. Overall, heterogeneous grouping is more beneficial for student achievement as well as student satisfaction than homogeneous grouping.

description: G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) interact with G-proteins to regulate much of the cell’s response to external stimuli; abnormalities in which cause numerous diseases.  We developed a new method to predict the families of G-proteins with which it interacts, given its residue sequence.  We combine both alignment and n-gram features.  The former captures long-range interactions but assumes the linear ordering of conserved segments is preserved.  The latter makes no such assumption but cannot capture long-range interactions.  By combining alignment and n-gram features, and using the entire GPCR sequence (instead of intracellular regions alone, as was done by others), our method outperformed the current state-of-the-art in precision, recall and F1, attaining 0.753 in F1 and 0.796 in accuracy on the PTbase 2004 dataset.  Moreover, analysis of our results shows that the majority of coupling specificity information lies in the beginning of the 2nd intracellular loop and over the length of the 3rd.

description: The edit distance between two words $w_1, w_2$ is the minimal number of word operations (letter insertions, deletions, and substitutions) necessary to transform $w_1$ to $w_2$. The edit distance generalizes to languages $\mathcal{L}_1, \mathcal{L}_2$, where the edit distance from $\mathcal{L}_1$ to $\mathcal{L}_2$ is the minimal number $k$ such that for every word from $\mathcal{L}_1$ there exists a word in $\mathcal{L}_2$ with edit distance at most $k$. We study the edit distance computation problem between pushdown automata and their subclasses. The problem of computing edit distance to a pushdown automaton is undecidable, and in practice, the interesting question is to compute the edit distance from a pushdown automaton (the implementation, a standard model for programs with recursion) to a regular language (the specification). In this work, we present a complete picture of decidability and complexity for the following problems: (1)~deciding whether, for a given threshold $k$, the edit distance from a pushdown automaton to a finite automaton is at most $k$, and (2)~deciding whether the edit distance from a pushdown automaton to a finite automaton is finite.

description: A current barrier for successful rational drug design is the lack of understanding of the structure space provided by the proteins in a cell that is determined by their sequence space. The protein sequences capable of folding to functional three-dimensional shapes of the proteins are clearly different for different organisms, since sequences obtained from human proteins often fail to form correct three-dimensional structures in bacterial organisms. In analogy to the question "What kind of things do people say?" we therefore need to ask the question "What kind of amino acid sequences occur in the proteins of an organism?" An understanding of the sequence space occupied by proteins in different organisms would have important applications for "translation" of proteins from the language of one organism into that of another and design of drugs that target sequences that might be unique or preferred by pathogenic organisms over those in human hosts.
Here we describe the development of a biological language modeling toolkit (BLMT) for genome-wide statistical amino acid n-gram analysis and comparison across organisms (freely accessible at www.cs.cmu.edu/~blmt). Its functions were applied to 44 different bacterial, archaeal and the human genome. Amino acid n-gram distribution was found to be characteristic of organisms, as evidenced by (1) the ability of simple Markovian unigram models to distinguish organisms, (2) the marked variation in n-gram distributions across organisms above random variation, and (3) identification of organism-specific phrases in protein sequences that are greater than an order of magnitude standard deviations away from the mean. These lines of evidence suggest that different organisms utilize different "vocabularies" and "phrases", an observation that may provide novel approaches to drug development by specifically targeting these phrases. The results suggest that further detailed analysis of n-gram statistics of protein sequences from whole genomes will likely - in analogy to word n-gram analysis - result in powerful models for prediction, topic classification and information extraction of biological sequences.

description: We propose a mechanism to produce a superposition of atomic and molecular states by a train of ultrashort laser pulses combined with weak control fields. By adjusting the repetition rate of the pump pulses and the intensity of the coupling laser, one can suppress a transition while simultaneously enhancing the desired transitions. As an example, various superpositions of vibrational states of the $K_2$ molecule are shown.

Acquisition of Heroin Conditioned Immunosuppression Requires IL-1 Signaling in the Dorsal Hippocampus
Creators: name: Lebonville, Christina
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Opioid users experience increased infection rates. While partially attributable to direct opiate-immune interactions, conditioned immune responses contribute as well. Neural circuitry governing opioid conditioned immune responses has been investigated, but mediating mechanisms are unknown. Previous studies showed that hippocampal IL-1 signaling is required for expression of heroin conditioned immunosuppression following learning. Current studies were designed to further characterize hippocampal IL-1’s role in this phenomenon by manipulating IL-1 during learning. Experiment 1 tested whether hippocampal IL-1 is required for the acquisition of heroin conditioned immunosuppression. Experiment 2 tested whether hippocampal IL-1 is required for unconditioned heroin immunosuppression. Blocking IL-1 signaling in the dorsal hippocampus with IL-1RA during each conditioning session, but not on interspersed non-conditioning days, attenuated the acquisition of heroin conditioned immunosuppression. IL-1RA treatment did not alter unconditioned immunosuppression to a single dose of heroin. Thus, IL-1 signaling may play a role in learning the association between heroin and context.

Hyperbolicity versus weak periodic orbits inside homoclinic classes

Subjects: subject: Dynamical Systems (math.DS)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We prove that, for $C^1$-generic diffeomorphisms, if the periodic orbits contained in a homoclinic class $H(p)$ have all their Lyapunov exponents bounded away from 0, then $H(p)$ must be (uniformly) hyperbolic. This is in sprit of the works of the stability conjecture, but with a significant difference that the homoclinic class $H(p)$ is not known isolated in advance, hence the "weak" periodic orbits created by perturbations near the homoclinic class have to be guaranteed strictly inside the homoclinic class. In this sense the problem is of an "intrinsic" nature, and the classical proof of the stability conjecture does not pass through. In particular, we construct in the proof several perturbations which are not simple applications of the connecting lemmas.

Look Before You Leap: Improving Text-based Person Retrieval by Learning A Consistent Cross-modal Common Manifold

description: The core problem of text-based person retrieval is how to bridge the heterogeneous gap between multi-modal data. Many previous approaches contrive to learning a latent common manifold mapping paradigm following a \textbf{cross-modal distribution consensus prediction (CDCP)} manner. When mapping features from distribution of one certain modality into the common manifold, feature distribution of the opposite modality is completely invisible. That is to say, how to achieve a cross-modal distribution consensus so as to embed and align the multi-modal features in a constructed cross-modal common manifold all depends on the experience of the model itself, instead of the actual situation. With such methods, it is inevitable that the multi-modal data can not be well aligned in the common manifold, which finally leads to a sub-optimal retrieval performance. To overcome this \textbf{CDCP dilemma}, we propose a novel algorithm termed LBUL to learn a Consistent Cross-modal Common Manifold (C$^{3}$M) for text-based person retrieval. The core idea of our method, just as a Chinese saying goes, is to `\textit{san si er hou xing}', namely, to \textbf{Look Before yoU Leap (LBUL)}. The common manifold mapping mechanism of LBUL contains a looking step and a leaping step. Compared to CDCP-based methods, LBUL considers distribution characteristics of both the visual and textual modalities before embedding data from one certain modality into C$^{3}$M to achieve a more solid cross-modal distribution consensus, and hence achieve a superior retrieval accuracy. We evaluate our proposed method on two text-based person retrieval datasets CUHK-PEDES and RSTPReid. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed LBUL outperforms previous methods and achieves the state-of-the-art performance.

description: The evolution of computing has lead to networks which are characterized by decentralization and decreasing institutional control over resources. Wireless Grids, mobile ad-hoc resource sharing networks, are chal lenging environments in which users strategic behaviors are crucial to system performance. We review the mechanisms employed to regulate strategic behavior online—technical, social, legal and economic—and discuss trends in their operation and application in distributed and Grid computing.
Radiation hydrodynamics simulations of wide-angle outflows from super-critical accretion disks around black holes

description: By performing two-dimensional radiation hydrodynamics simulations with large computational domain of 5000 Schwarzschild radius, we revealed that wide-angle outflow is launched via the radiation force from the super-critical accretion flows around black holes. The angular size of the outflow, of which the radial velocity (v_r) is over the escape velocity (v_esc), increases with an increase of the distance from the black hole. As a result, the mass is blown away with speed of v_r > v_esc in all direction except for the very vicinity of the equatorial plane, theta=0-85^circ, where theta is the polar angle. The mass ejected from the outer boundary per unit time by the outflow is larger than the mass accretion rate onto the black hole, ~150L_Edd/c^2, where L_Edd and c are the Eddington luminosity and the speed of light. Kinetic power of such wide-angle high-velocity outflow is comparable to the photon luminosity and is a few times larger than the Eddington luminosity. This corresponds to ~10^39-10^40 erg/s for the stellar mass black holes. Our model consistent with the observations of shock excited bubbles observed in some ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs), supporting a hypothesis that ULXs are powered by the super-critical accretion onto stellar mass black holes.

Creating Dynamic World Wide Web Pages by Demonstration

Subjects: subject: 80399 Computer Software not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Turquoise is an intelligent browser and editor for the World Wide Web (WWW) that allows users to create dynamic pages by demonstration rather than by writing program code.  With Turquoise, users without programming experience can create scripts that combine data from several Web pages, automate repetitive browsing or editing tasks, convert other data formats into Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), and process submitted forms. Scripts are demonstrated by familiar browsing and editing actions, which Turquoise records and generalizes into a program. In order to generalize the locations of the user’s actions on a page, Turquoise includes a novel pattern matcher that finds locations within an HTML document.  Turquoise infers patterns automatically by picking from a knowledge base of pattern templates, heuristically chosen to be robust and comprehensible to the user. With a good pattern knowledge base, Turquoise can often infer the correct script after only a single demonstration.
