Multi-Document Non-Factoid Question Answering

subject: Information retrieval and web search

description: This thesis focuses on multi-document answer generation for non-factoid questions
(NFQs), a challenging task of generating answers to open-ended questions that can only
be answered by summarizing information from multiple supporting documents. We first
conducted an eye-tracking study on the user evaluation of passage-length answers to NFQs
and found that the overall answer quality depends on several aspects. To better understand
what makes an answer useful, we identified 12 aspects of answer quality and evaluated the
limitations of commonly used NFQA evaluation measures.

To enhance understanding of the categories of NFQs that people tend to ask, what form
of answers they expect to see in return, and what the key research challenges of each category
are, we developed the first comprehensive NFQA taxonomy constructed with a transparent
methodology and extensively evaluated via crowdsourcing. Our analysis of major NFQA
datasets shows that the most challenging NFQ categories are underrepresented.

To address this, we introduce WikiHowQA, a new multi-document NFQA benchmark
built on WikiHow, a website dedicated to answering “how-to” questions. We provide
strong baselines and propose a novel human evaluation framework that utilizes highlighted
relevant supporting passages to mitigate issues such as assessor unfamiliarity with the
question topic.
non-factoid question answering
We aim for this research to serve as the basis for redefining user interactions with search
engines, ultimately creating the answer retrieval systems users have long desired.

Vozes silenciadas, obras eternas: mulheres designers ao longo do tempo

description: Este artigo explora a associação entre alguns fatores políticos que impactaram a vida das mulheres e da luta

por direitos básicos femininos até à participação no mundo do design e da arte, um campo dominado por

homens por muito tempo na história. Por mais que a sociedade inferiorizasse a criatividade feminina

durante anos, forçando-as a fazer trabalhos indicativos de uma arte menor, ou sem o status culto ou

sofisticado, as mulheres seguiam tentando lutar pelo direito de entrar no campo do design. O método

utilizado neste artigo foi a revisão bibliográfica assistemática. As principais interlocuções foram com as

autoras Elizabeth Otto e Simone de Beauvoir, abordando como as mulheres lutaram para entrar no campo

de artes e do design, e como se esforçaram para serem reconhecidas apesar de desafios históricos. Nas

considerações finais, entende-se que a evolução, tanto se tratando de reconhecimento como da entrada

das mulheres do campo do design, é significativa. Porém, é necessário honrar as suas memórias,

reconhecer essas lutas e entender que ainda há muito a fazer para atingir a igualdade de géneros no campo

de design e das artes.
description: This article explores the association between some political factors that have impacted women's lives and

the fight for basic female rights to participation in the world of design and art, a field dominated by men for

a long time in history. As much as society inferiorized female creativity for years, forcing them to do work

indicative of lesser art, or without cultured or sophisticated status, women continued trying to fight for the

right to enter the field of design. The method used in this article was an unsystematic bibliographic review.

The main discussions were with authors Elizabeth Otto and Simone de Beauvoir, addressing how women

fought to enter the field of arts and design, and how they strived to be recognized despite historical

challenges. In the final considerations, it is understood that the evolution, both in terms of recognition and

the entry of women into the field of design, is significant. However, it is necessary to honor their memories,

recognize these struggles and understand that there is still much to be done to achieve gender equality in

the field of design and the arts.

Refocusing the Lens: Spotlighting the Hidden Role of Back-of-House

subject: Architectural design

description: This PhD explores my practice as a European architect in Asia, highlighting the difficulties architects from the West and East face in understanding each other. My research focuses on workflows, non-uniform design processes, communication, knowledge, tools, and how different cultural expectations play out. This study reflects on my experience and the dynamics of projects designed in one country and executed in another, involving different cultures.
In both cultures, the “Front of House” (FOH) is seen as the most valuable part of a project. The “Back of House” (BOH) is often neglected, viewed as unspectacular, and handed off to local architects. This research shifts the focus to BOH as part of a comprehensive design approach. The main emphasis is on BOH and technical design solutions, where seemingly insignificant details and standard approaches can affect the entire project. Through several case studies, I identify patterns in recurring non-linear design approaches, highlighting differences and systemic gaps rather than project-specific issues.
I untangle the in-between part of the design process—between vision and execution—to address previously unexamined issues related to communication. In my opinion architects often underestimate the importance of communication in collaboration with other architects of a different culture, and I will show how this affects the outcome of their projects. Through the lens of other disciplines, new ways of thinking emerge as core areas of influence.

Shock Tube Fabrication and Ignition Delay Measurements of Ammonia-Air Mixtures

description: Climate change poses a significant threat to civilisation, driven largely by the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels used in power generation, industrial processes, and transportation. Recently, there has been a growing focus on green fuels like ethanol, biodiesel, and hydrogen carriers such as ammonia for powering engines and heating systems. Ammonia is particularly promising due to its higher energy density compared to liquid hydrogen. Additionally, its century-long use as a fertiliser and industrial chemical makes it safer and easier to store and transport. There is, however, a lack of information available on the combustion properties of ammonia, such as autoignition delay time and branched chemical reaction rates.

In the work described herein, the design and fabrication of the RMIT University Shock Tube (RUST) is discussed. The goal of this research was to design and fabricate a shock tube suited for investigating auto-ignition delay times of ammonia at pressures
and temperatures found in real engines. The design methodology and features of subsystems like gas distribution, control system, and data acquisition has been discussed. An in-house gas dynamics tool based on shock equations was programmed to predict test conditions when driver and driven gas mixtures are used. A MATLAB program was developed to process pressure data from high-frequency piezoelectric transducers, calculating ignition delay using the steepest gradient method. The program identifies the autoignition point by locating the intersection between the test pressure line and the steepest rate-of-change of pressure signals from the transducer nearest the endwall. Engine conditions for ammonia combustion were defined using isentropic relations, and a test matrix was created for a temperature range of 500-1100 K and a pressure range of 10-120 bar. Through the course of the project, it was discovered that the test time of the RUST (∼2 ms) was not sufficient to measure ignition delay of ammonia at engine conditions and higher temperature conditions (1600 to 2100 K) were studied instead. Techniques like gas tailoring and driver extensions to extend test times of the RUST to up to ∼9 ms were discussed along with X-T simulations. A reasonable agreement was found between measured data and literature.

In addition to ignition delay measurements, novel theories for diaphragm deformation were proposed and compared with real experimental data. Two theories – one for elastic region and the other for plastic region were discussed and the deformation of polycarbonate diaphragms of varying thicknesses (0.015” to 0.040”) was recorded. The elastic theory over-estimated deflection in the plastic region while the plastic theory predicted deflection with a ± 9 % accuracy.

(Fig. 3)
Sardorchestia Ruffo, 2004: 506.
Type species. Talorchestia pelecaniformis Bellan-Santini & Ruffo, 1986, original designation.
Included species. Sardorchestia includes 2 species: S. gracilis (Bousfield & Klawe, 1983); S. pelecaniformis (Bellan-Santini & Ruffo, 1986).
Diagnostic description (based on male). Eyes large (greater than 1/3 head length). Antenna 1 short, not longer than article 4 of antenna 2 peduncle. Antenna 2 peduncular articles slender; peduncular article 3 without ventral process. Labrum without robust setae. Mandible left lacinia mobilis 4-dentate. Maxilliped palp article 2 distomedial lobe well developed; article 4 fused to article 3. Gnathopod 1 parachelate; posterior margin of carpus and propodus each with lobe covered in palmate setae. Gnathopod 2 subchelate; merus/carpus free; dactylus not modified distally. Pereopods 3–7 cuspidactylate. Pereopods 5–7 without setae along posterior margin of the dactylus. Pereopods 6–7 not sexually dimorphic. Pleonites 1–3 without dorsal spines. Pleopods all well developed. Epimera without vertical slits. Uropod 1 rami without apical separ-shaped setae; outer ramus slender; with marginal robust setae. Uropod 3 well developed; ramus subequal in length to peduncle. Telson apically incised, with 7 to at least 10 robust setae per lobe.
Remarks. Orchestoidea gracilis Bousfield & Klawe, 1963 was included in Pseudorchestoidea Bousfield, 1982, but it differs from other species in the genus by: gnathopod 1 is parachelate (simple or subchelate in Pseudorchestoidea); and the presence of marginal robust setae on the outer ramus of uropod 1 (absent in Pseudorchestoidea).
There appears to be no generic-level characters separating Pseudorchestoidea gracilis (Bousfield & Klawe, 1963) and Sardorchestia pelecaniformis (Bellan-Santini & Ruffo, 1986). Sardorchestia pelecaniformis is considered to have a slightly incrassate second antenna, but when compared with Pseudorchestoidea gracilis there is no discernible difference. We are therefore including P. gracilis in the genus Sardorchestia. An important corroboration of this change would be a molecular comparison of the two species. There is already CO1 information for S. pelecaniformis.
These relationships most likely reflect a situation at the time of the opening of the Atlantic Ocean when the ancestors of all these genera inhabited the beaches of Laurasia.
Distribution. Mexico: Baja California. Mediterranean: Sardinia.

description: Abstract

The Government of India recognized occupation as a crucial factor for increasing per capita income and eliminating familial destitution. In line with this objective, they introduced various initiatives for rural development after the declaration of independence, most notably during the Fifth Five-Year Plan. One such initiative was the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), which aimed to enhance rural employment opportunities and alleviate rural destitution. To evaluate the impact of MGNREGS on the environment and infrastructure in rural areas, a research was undertaken in the Krishnagiri district of Tamil Nadu. The inquiry included 160 respondents, and their environmental and infrastructural conditions were assessed both before and after the implementation of MGNREGS. The findings of the study indicated a positive influence of MGNREGS on the rural population. The assessment was carried out on a component-by-component basis. It revealed significant improvements in various aspects. Firstly, as the respondents aspired to become self-employed in the future, there was an observed emphasis on the preservation of natural resources. This indicated a growing awareness of sustainable practices and environmental consciousness among the rural population. Secondly, the implementation of MGNREGS contributed to enhanced rural connectivity, resulting in improved infrastructure conditions in the area. Better infrastructure facilitates greater economic activity and better living standards. Lastly, the study highlighted the positive impact of MGNREGS on grassroots democracy, empowering local communities to involve in the process of decision-making processes. In conclusion, the study demonstrated that MGNREGS played a crucial role in uplifting the environmental and infrastructural conditions of the Thally block in Krishnagiri district. By providing employment opportunities, promoting natural resource preservation, and improving rural connectivity, MGNREGS contributed significantly to the overall development and well-being of the rural populace.
