description: Automatic detection of individual intake gestures during eating occasions has the potential to improve dietary monitoring and support dietary recommendations. Existing studies typically make use of on-body solutions such as inertial and audio sensors, while video is used as ground truth. Intake gesture detection directly based on video has rarely been attempted. In this study, we address this gap and show that deep learning architectures can successfully be applied to the problem of video-based detection of intake gestures. For this purpose, we collect and label video data of eating occasions using 360-degree video of 102 participants. Applying state-of-the-art approaches from video action recognition, our results show that (1) the best model achieves an $F_1$ score of 0.858, (2) appearance features contribute more than motion features, and (3) temporal context in form of multiple video frames is essential for top model performance.

description: State-of-the-art unsupervised multilingual models (e.g., multilingual BERT) have been shown to generalize in a zero-shot cross-lingual setting. This generalization ability has been attributed to the use of a shared subword vocabulary and joint training across multiple languages giving rise to deep multilingual abstractions. We evaluate this hypothesis by designing an alternative approach that transfers a monolingual model to new languages at the lexical level. More concretely, we first train a transformer-based masked language model on one language, and transfer it to a new language by learning a new embedding matrix with the same masked language modeling objective, freezing parameters of all other layers. This approach does not rely on a shared vocabulary or joint training. However, we show that it is competitive with multilingual BERT on standard cross-lingual classification benchmarks and on a new Cross-lingual Question Answering Dataset (XQuAD). Our results contradict common beliefs of the basis of the generalization ability of multilingual models and suggest that deep monolingual models learn some abstractions that generalize across languages. We also release XQuAD as a more comprehensive cross-lingual benchmark, which comprises 240 paragraphs and 1190 question-answer pairs from SQuAD v1.1 translated into ten languages by professional translators.

description: This paper studies factors associated with pesticide use in a rice-vegetable farming system in Bangladesh. Data came from a 1998/99 survey of 400 farm households. Regressions were used to examine factors that helped explain variation in patterns of pesticide expenditure. Controlling for farmer characteristics, results revealed positive and significant correlation between pesticide expenditures and farm size, non-agricultural income and degree of vegetable commercialization. Access to credit was found to have no explanatory power in the regressions. Farmers' estimates of pest infestation and damage were weakly correlated with pesticide expenditures.

description: Sericulture is a part of BRAC's Employment and Income Generation (EIG) programme started in 1978. Major components of the programme are: a) nursery; b) mulberry plantation; c) rearing of the silkworms; d) reeling and e) weaving. The study aimed to measure the efficiency of the programme from the participants' as well as the organizer's point of view. Results showed that the programme involved a significant proportion of full-time housewives and created employment opportunity for them. All the participants earned accounting profit from the activities they were involved in. The net economic gain was also found positive for most of them although the amount was negligible. For BRAC the cost of services provided to the programme participants was higher than the amount it received as service charge which has even increased over time.

description: Limited labeled data is becoming the largest bottleneck for supervised learning systems. This is especially the case for many real-world tasks where large scale annotated examples are either too expensive to acquire or unavailable due to privacy or data access constraints. Weak supervision has shown to be a good means to mitigate the scarcity of annotated data by leveraging weak labels or injecting constraints from heuristic rules and/or external knowledge sources. Social media has little labeled data but possesses unique characteristics that make it suitable for generating weak supervision, resulting in a new type of weak supervision, i.e., weak social supervision. In this article, we illustrate how various aspects of social media can be used to generate weak social supervision. Specifically, we use the recent research on fake news detection as the use case, where social engagements are abundant but annotated examples are scarce, to show that weak social supervision is effective when facing the little labeled data problem. This article opens the door for learning with weak social supervision for other emerging tasks.

description: Present study developed a methodology to estimate risk attitudes of the producers operating under production risk. It analyzed risk aversion coefficients of the rice producers in flood prone environment of Bangladesh through econometric estimation of risk attitude distribution parameters incorporating the effect of subjective adjustment of human capital in the model. For this purpose, Generalized Method of Moment approximation of profit function was used to account for the stochastic technology with no restriction on preference structure. The results show that the population is characterized by Arrow-Pratt and downside risk aversion. The farmers were found to be moderately risk averse as indicated by smaller values of Arrow-Pratt risk aversion coefficients and relative risk premium.

description: The paper analyses the performance of agriculture in Tamil Nadu using the exponential growth rates, level of protection and comparative advantage by estimating net protection coefficient, efficient protection coefficient, effective rate of protection and domestic resource cost. Productivity trends in Tamil Nadu have been positive irrespective of food and non-food crops. The potential loss in area of some crops was more than compensated by productivity. Rice and coton have comparative advantage justifying further protection. The factors of production for rice and cotton can be paid more than the present level under free trade and still remain competitive with imports. The protection coefficients and domestic resource cost showed that sugarcane and groundnut are highly protected and have comparative disadvantage domestically as compared to world trade. Given the premise that sugarcane in the state has productivity advantage in the country as a whole, what disturbs one is unit cost of production. The question is now to convert the comparative advantage into competitive advantage globally? The answer lies in diversification of sugar industry. Groundnut is the second largest crop in the state next to rice, which is being grown mainly in rainfed and low fertility soils. Tamil Nadu has comparative advantage in terms of productivity at national level. The strategy lies in reducing the unit cost of production and makes the crop economically viable.

description: The Lyapunov spectrum corresponding to a periodic orbit for a two dimensional many particle system with hard core interactions is discussed. Noting that the matrix to describe the tangent space dynamics has the block cyclic structure, the calculation of the Lyapunov spectrum is attributed to the eigenvalue problem of a 16x16 reduced matrices regardless of the number of particles. We show that there is the thermodynamic limit of the Lyapunov spectrum in this periodic orbit. The Lyapunov spectrum has a step structure, which is explained by using symmetries of the reduced matrices.

description: The olfactory sense is of crucial importance for animals, but their response to chemical stimuli is plastic and depends on their physiological state and prior experience. In many insect species, mating status influences the response to sex pheromones, but the underlying neuromodulatory mechanisms are poorly understood. After mating, females of the parasitic wasp Nasonia vitripennis are no longer attracted to the male sex pheromone. Here we show that this post-mating behavioral switch is mediated by dopamine (DA). Females fed a DA-receptor antagonist prior to mating maintained their attraction to the male pheromone after mating while virgin females injected with DA became unresponsive. However, the switch is reversible as mated females regained their pheromone preference after appetitive learning. Feeding mated N. vitripennis females with antagonists of either octopamine- (OA) or DA-receptors prevented relearning of the pheromone preference suggesting that both receptors are involved in appetitive learning. Moreover, DA injection into mated females was sufficient to mimic the oviposition reward during odor conditioning with the male pheromone. Our data indicate that DA plays a key role in the plastic pheromone response of N. vitripennis females and reveal some striking parallels between insects and mammals in the neuromodulatory mechanisms underlying olfactory plasticity.

description: We report on the Chandra ACIS-S3 imaging observation of the globular cluster NGC 6752. We detect 6 X-ray sources within the 10.5" core radius and 13 more within the 115" half-mass radius down to a limiting luminosity of Lx approx 10^{30} erg/s for cluster sources. We reanalyze archival data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Australia Telescope Compact Array and make 12 optical identifications and one radio identification. Based on X-ray and optical properties of the identifications, we find 10 likely cataclysmic variables (CVs), 1-3 likely RS CVn or BY Dra systems, and 1 or 2 possible background objects. Of the 7 sources for which no optical identifications were made, we expect that ~2-4 are background objects and that the rest are either CVs or some or all of the five millisecond pulsars whose radio positions are not yet accurately known. These and other Chandra results on globular clusters indicate that the dozens of CVs per cluster expected by theoretical arguments are being found. The findings to date also suggest that the ratio of CVs to other types of X-ray sources is remarkably similar in clusters of very different structural parameters.

description: The study examines the level of adoption of new farm technology and the factors responsible for that, under four major tenurial arrangements. The study is based on the data collected from a sample of 160 farm households from six villages in Burdwan district of West Bengal pertaining to the agricultural year 1993-94. The main question addressed in this paper is to examine how agrarian structure in the broadest sense shape technological development in the farm sector. The results highlight the significant differences in adoption across the tenurial arrangements and support the view that tenancy has a direct impact on adoption of modem farm technology. Size of holding, resource base of the farmer, regularity in rent payment to the landlord, irrigation and other infrastructural variables were also found to have important influence on adoption of new farm technology.

description: Quantum algebras (also called quantum groups) are deformed versions of the usual Lie algebras, to which they reduce when the deformation parameter q is set equal to unity. From the mathematical point of view they are Hopf algebras. Their use in physics became popular with the introduction of the q-deformed harmonic oscillator as a tool for providing a boson realization of the quantum algebra SUq(2), although similar mathematical structures had already been known. Initially used for solving the quantum Yang-Baxter equation, quantum algebras have subsequently found applications in several branches of physics, as, for example, in the description of spin chains, squeezed states, hydrogen atom and hydrogen-like spectra, rotational and vibrational nuclear and molecular spectra, and in conformal field theories. By now much work has been done on the q-deformed oscillator and its relativistic extensions, and several kinds of generalized deformed oscillators and SU(2) algebras have been introduced. Here we shall confine ourselves to a list of applications of quantum algebras in nuclear structure physics and in molecular physics and, in addition, a recent application of quantum algebraic techniques to the structure of atomic clusters will be discussed in more detail.

description: The internationalization of higher education constitutes one of the most important contextual pressures affecting university libraries, together with the emergence of open and
collaborative ecosystems, on the one hand, and the commodification and privatization of knowledge, on the other. These tensions are manifested in the coexistence of practices of internationalization, currently hegemonic, oriented towards the search for profits, which reinforce the commodification of knowledge and epistemic asymmetries, with other practices, called solidarity internationalization, which encourage cooperation, integration regional, relations of reciprocity and the valorization of cultural and epistemic diversity in Latin America and the Caribbean. This essay presents preliminary reflections on the contributions and challenges of the university library in the context of a supportive and sustainable internationalization, articulating concepts of social responsibility, decolonization
of knowledge and integration of cultures and knowledge. Three areas of thought and action are proposed: decolonization of collections and integration of plural knowledge; the decolonization of the instruments and processes of knowledge organization and the
construction of an open, collaborative and situated science.

description: Mapping a quantum algorithm to any practical large-scale quantum computer will require a sequence of compilations and optimizations. At the level of fault-tolerant encoding, one likely requirement of this process is the translation into a topological circuit, for which braided circuits represent one candidate model. Given the large overhead associated with encoded circuits, it is paramount to reduce their size in terms of computation time and qubit number through circuit compression. While these optimizations have typically been performed in the language of three-dimensional diagrams, such a representation does not allow an efficient, general, and scalable approach to reduction or verification. We propose the use of the ZX-calculus as an intermediate language for braided circuit compression, demonstrating advantage by comparing results using this approach with those previously obtained for the compression of A- and Y-state distillation circuits. We then provide a benchmark of our method against a small set of Clifford+T circuits, yielding compression percentages of 77%. Our results suggest that the overheads of braided, defect-based circuits are comparable to those of their lattice-surgery counterparts, restoring the potential of this model for surface-code quantum computation.

description: Privatization and deregulation policies in modern agricultural input markets have influenced the rapid diffusion of new technologies in Bangladesh. During the privatization period, total rice area declined, while total rice production increased, signifying a remarkable achievement in improving land productivity. Rapid growth in the use of irrigation along with other technologies contributed to the significant increase in land productivity. Even the land-labor ratio decreased in the privatization period contributing significantly to an increase in total output and labor productivity. The present study concludes that privatization and deregulation policies enhanced effective growth of agricultural development in Bangladesh.

description: We study the statistics of the experimental eigenfunctions of chaotic and disordered microwave billiards in terms of the moments of their spatial distributions, such as the Inverse Participation Ratio (IPR) and density-density auto-correlation. A path from chaos to disorder is described in terms of increasing IPR. In the chaotic, ballistic limit, the data correspond well with universal results from random matrix theory. Deviations from universal distributions are observed due to disorder induced localization, and for the weakly disordered case the data are well-described by including finite conductance and mean free path contributions in the framework of nonlinear sigma models of supersymetry.

description: We show that topological equivalence classes of circles in a two-dimensional square lattice can be used to design dynamical decoupling procedures to protect qubits attached on the edges of the lattice. Based on the circles of the topologically trivial class in the original and the dual lattices, we devise a procedure which removes all kinds of local Hamiltonians from the dynamics of the qubits while keeping information stored in the homological degrees of freedom unchanged. If only the linearly independent interaction and nearest-neighbor two-qubit interactions are concerned, a much simpler procedure which involves the four equivalence classes of circles can be designed. This procedure is compatible with Eulerian and concatenated dynamical decouplings, which make it possible to implement the procedure with bounded-strength controls and for a long time period. As an application, it is shown that our method can be directly generalized to finite square lattices to suppress uncorrectable errors in surface codes.

description: The present study determines the profitability and technical, allocative and economic efficiency of commercial poultry farms. It is based on the data collected from 30 poultry farms of Gazipur district for the year 1995-96. Descriptive statistical measures as well as stochastic production frontier method were used for the analysis of data. The results of the study indicated that poultry farming was a profitable business and the large farms were the most profitable compared to the others. The estimated technical efficiency of the poultry farms was 0.92 and overall allocative efficiency was 0.69. The estimated economic efficiency of poultry farms was 0.62 indicating that there exists the potential to increase profit of the poultry farms with the available resources by increasing their efficiency. Major problems faced by the poultry farms (as reported by the farmers) were inadequate availability of feed and chicks, inadequate supply of vaccines, and high price of feed.

description: I derive a class of functions unifying all singular limits for the emission of a given number of soft or collinear gluons in tree-level gauge-theory amplitudes. Each function is a generalization of the single-emission antenna function of ref. [1]. The helicity-summed squares of these functions are thus also generalizations to multiple singular emission of the Catani--Seymour dipole factorization function.

description: We study layered neural networks of rectified linear units (ReLU) in a modelling framework for stochastic training processes. The comparison with sigmoidal activation functions is in the center of interest. We compute typical learning curves for shallow networks with K hidden units in matching student teacher scenarios. The systems exhibit sudden changes of the generalization performance via the process of hidden unit specialization at critical sizes of the training set. Surprisingly, our results show that the training behavior of ReLU networks is qualitatively different from that of networks with sigmoidal activations. In networks with K >= 3 sigmoidal hidden units, the transition is discontinuous: Specialized network configurations co-exist and compete with states of poor performance even for very large training sets. On the contrary, the use of ReLU activations results in continuous transitions for all K: For large enough training sets, two competing, differently specialized states display similar generalization abilities, which coincide exactly for large networks in the limit K to infinity.

description: The temporal evolution of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and absorption (EIA) coherence resonances in pump-probe spectroscopy of degenerate two-level atomic transition is studied for light intensities below saturation. Analytical expression for the transient absorption spectra are given for simple model systems and a model for the calculation of the time dependent response of realistic atomic transitions, where the Zeeman degeneracy is fully accounted for, is presented. EIT and EIA resonances have a similar (opposite sign) time dependent lineshape, however, the EIA evolution is slower and thus narrower lines are observed for long interaction time. Qualitative agreement with the theoretical predictions is obtained for the transient probe absorption on the $^{85}Rb$ $D_{2}$ line in an atomic beam experiment.

An update on coherent scattering from complex non-PT-symmetric Scarf II potential with new analytic forms

description: The versatile and exactly solvable Scarf II has been predicting, confirming and demonstrating interesting phenomena in complex PT-symmetric sector, most impressively. However, for the non-PT-symmetric sector it has gone underutilized. Here, we present most simple analytic forms for the scattering coefficients $(T(k),R(k),|\det S(k)|)$. On one hand, these forms demonstrate earlier effects and confirm the recent ones. On the other hand they make new predictions - all simply and analytically. We show the possibilities of both self-dual and non-self-dual spectral singularities (NSDSS) in two non-PT sectors (potentials). The former one is not accompanied by time-reversed coherent perfect absorption (CPA) and gives rise to the parametrically controlled splitting of SS in to a finite number of complex conjugate pairs of eigenvalues (CCPEs). The latter ones (NSDSS) behave just oppositely: CPA but no splitting of SS. We demonstrate a one-sided reflectionlessness without invisibility. Most importantly, we bring out a surprising co-existence of both real discrete spectrum and a single SS in a fixed potential. Nevertheless, the complex Scarf II is not known to be pseudo-Hermitian ($η^{-1} Hη=H^\dagger$) under a metric of the type $η(x)$, so far.

description: AIEC-LF82 is a strain of bacteria that is surmised to have a role in causing IBD and Crohn’s disease by activating pro-inflammatory gene expression in organisms. Using antibiotics via combination therapy has been a technique used in clinical settings in an attempt to treat the strains, however, the attempts have not been that effective nor efficient in terms of completely halting the growth and colonization of AIEC to treat IBD and Crohn's disease patients. Research has shown that regarding hindering or preventing the colonization bacterial colonies, sequential therapy tends to be more effective and time-efficient than combination therapy, with fewer adverse effects. To test if this is also the case with the AIEC-LF82 strain of bacteria, I first tested AIEC’s response to combination therapy using the Penicillin-Streptomycin, Kanamycin-Chloramphenicol, antimicrobial peptide (AMP), Kanamycin, SPE phase and LB agar plates, all of which were experimental plates other than the LB agar plate that acted as the negative control. I then tested AIEC-LF82’s response to sequential therapy using the LB+ Kan + Spe, LB + AMP + Spe, LB+ Kan/Cam + Spe, LB + P/S + Spe, LB + P/S + Kan and LB + P/S + AMP and one LB agar plate acting as the negative control. The only differences between sets a and b were the order in which antibiotics were administered in the six aforementioned treatment sets. Ultimately, I found that set b of sequential therapy, strong-weak antibiotic treatments, was the most effective treatment but that set a regarding sequential therapy was actually the least effective of all of the treatments. In conclusion, using strong-weak sequential antibiotic therapy treatments appears to be a potentially promising option to treat patients suffering from Crohn's disease and IBD.

description: Present study examined production practices of broiler farming in Gazipur district and analyzed productivity, profitability and variability in supply. For measuring productivity, stochastic moment based production function was estimated following Generalized Method of Moment Procedure. It was found that the variable inputs of production like chick, feed and electricity were positively contributing to output but age, education of producers, medicine and vaccine were negatively contributing to mean production of broiler. Age and education of producers, chick cost, medicine and vaccine found to reduce variability in production and positively contributing to sustainable broiler production. While feed cost and electricity were adversely affecting sustainability of broiler production. The total cost of broiler production of 100 birds was TK 5851.81 on cash cost basis and non-cash cost basis it was TK 5277.31. Largest proportion of total cost was spent for both day-old chicks and feed that constituted 35.89 and 33.70 per cent, respectively. The return of the broiler production was estimated TK 7248.80 per 100 birds. BCR on full and cash cost basis were 1.24 and 1.37, respectively. It was found that seasonal variability in supply, demand and prices of broiler exist. It was found that the broiler producers were severely affected by the downward swing of price fluctuation.

description: The storage of metastable compounds and modifications of elements are of great interest for synthesis and other, e.g., semiconductor, applications. Whereas white phosphorus is a metastable modification that can be stored under certain conditions, storage of the extremely (light- and air-)sensitive form of arsenic, yellow arsenic, is a challenge rarely tackled so far. Herein, we report on the facile storage and release of these tetrahedral E4 molecules (E = P, As) using activated carbon as a porous storage material. These loaded materials are air- and light-stable and have been comprehensively characterized by solid-state 31P{1H} MAS NMR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction analysis, nitrogen adsorption measurements, and thermogravimetric analysis. Additionally, we show that these materials can be used as a suitable E4 source for releasing intact white phosphorus or yellow arsenic, enabling subsequent reactions in solution. Because the uptake and release of E4 are reversible, these materials are excellent carriers of these highly reactive modifications.
