description: The ability to manipulate light at the level of single photons, its elementary excitation quanta, has recently made it possible to produce a rich variety of tailor-made quantum states and arbitrary quantum operations, of high interest for fundamental science and applications. Here we present a concise review of the progress made over the last few decades in the engineering of quantum light states. Although far from exhaustive, this review aims at providing a sufficiently wide and updated introduction that may serve as the entry point to such a fascinating and rapidly evolving field.

description: We propose a novel approach for constructing more accurate beliefs over concept values in spoken dialog systems by integrating information across multiple turns in the conversation. In particular, we focus our attention on updating the confidence score of the top hypothesis for a concept, in light of subsequent user responses to system confirmation actions. Our data-driven approach bridges previous work in confidence annotation and correction detection, providing a unified framework for belief updating. The approach significantly outperforms heuristic rules currently used in most spoken dialog systems.
A unified picture of strong coupling stochastic thermodynamics and time reversals
Creators: name: Aurell, Erik
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Strong-coupling statistical thermodynamics is formulated as Hamiltonian dynamics of an observed system interacting with another unobserved system (a bath). It is shown that the entropy production functional of stochastic thermodynamics, defined as the log-ratio of forward and backward system path probabilities, is in one-to-one relation with the log-ratios of joint initial conditions of the system and the bath. A version of strong-coupling statistical thermodynamics where the system-bath interaction vanishes at the beginning and the end of a process is, as is also weak-coupling stochastic thermodynamics, related the bath initially in equilibrium by itself. The heat is then the change of bath energy over the process. It is discussed when this heat is a functional of system history alone. The version of strong-coupling statistical thermodynamics introduced by Seifert and Jarzynski is related to the bath initially in conditional equilibrium with respect to the system. This leads to heat as another functional of system history which needs to be determined by thermodynamic integration. The log-ratio of forward and backward system path probabilities in a stochastic process is finally related to log-ratios of initial conditions of a combined system and bath. It is shown that the entropy production formulas of stochastic processes under general class of time reversals are given by change of a bath energy in a larger underlying Hamiltonian system. The paper highlights the centrality of time reversal in stochastic thermodynamics, also in the case of strong coupling.

description: Objectives. To determine the feasibility of implementing a clinical observation method for adverse event detection. Methods. Prospective adverse event surveillance was conducted from February to April 2012. We implemented this adverse event prospective surveillance system on the general internal medicine units of five sites within two teaching institutions and one community hospital. Following surveillance, we assembled provider and decision-maker focus groups to understand the barriers and success factors related to our implementation. We used a structured interview guide with facilitated discussion. Results. We performed six focus group interviews in June and July 2012. In total, 31 individual participated including senior executives (15), managers (7) and care providers (9). We identified the following success factors: the overall design of the system including the clinical observer and clinical reviewer functions; the credibility of the data and the opportunity to make changes to practice in ‘real-time’. We identified the following opportunities for improvement: the need for clear guidelines on the type of information to collect for each event trigger, and for an action plan to ensure accountability and follow through on improvement efforts once the adverse event data have been analyzed. Conclusions. This work supports a conclusion that prospective surveillance is viewed as beneficial and acceptable. For this reason, healthcare organizations should consider adopting prospective adverse event surveillance to support their local quality improvement methods
The Impact of China High Speed Rail on Regional Economic Development
Creators: name: Wang, Bingqing
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2018

description: China has a vast territory with uneven resource distribution and unbalanced economic development. Agglomeration of urban centers have been taking place at a rapid rhythm over the last few decades. The capacity of railway transport is not sufficient to support national economic development, and the challenge is especially evident during festive seasons. There is an increasing demand for more carrying capacity to meet the growth in transport needs, and China's high-speed railway (HSR) system is designed to address transport demands. This paper analyzes the significance and impact of China’s HSR on regional economic development. It is shown that the HSR system has positive average treatment effects on regional economy during the construction period; however, the average treatment effects become negative during the operation period. It is suggested that the negative treatment effects were caused by the movement of workers and funds from less developed HSR cities to more developed HSR cities in search of higher returns. For this reason, the paper suggests that in order to fully enjoy the economic benefits brought by HSR, local governments should carry out policy reforms, such as increasing government spending on education and government spending on technology development to enhance local competitiveness.

description: The ecological association between several economic indicators and organ donation rates in the USA were examined for the years 1988 to 2012. A strong, positive correlation was identified between GDP per capita and all organ donation rates, except for heart donation, for which a strong, negative correlation was found. These results suggest that economic downturns may be associated with reductions in organ availability, except for heart allografts.

description: n order for an autonomous service robot to provide the best service possible for its users, it must have a considerable amount of knowledge of the environment in which it operates. Service robots perform requests for users and can learn information about their environment while performing these requests. We note that such requests do not take all of the robot's time, and propose that a robot could schedule additional exploration tasks in its spare time to gather data about its environment. The data gathered can then be used to model the environment, and the model can be used to improve the services provided. Such additional exploration is a constrained form of active learning, in which the robot evaluates the knowledge it can acquire and chooses observations to gather, while being constrained by its navigation and the time underlying the user requests it receives. We create a schedule of exploration tasks that meets the given constraints using a hill-climbing approach on a graph of tasks the robot can perform to gather observations. We test this method in simulation of a CoBot robot and find that is able to learn an accurate model of its environment over time, leading to a near-optimal policy when scheduling user requests.

description: Estimating cancer risk associated with interplanetary space travel is complicated. Human exposure data to high atomic number, high-energy (HZE) radiation is lacking, so data from low linear energy transfer (low-LET) γ-ray radiation is used in risk models, with the assumption that HZE and γ-ray radiation have comparable biological effects. This assumption has been challenged by reports indicating that HZE radiation might produce more aggressive tumors. The goal of this research is to test whether high-LET HZE radiation induced tumors are more aggressive. Murine models of mammary and liver cancer were used to compare the impact of exposure to 0.2Gy of 300MeV/n silicon ions, 3 Gy of γ-rays or no radiation. Numerous measures of tumor aggressiveness were assessed. For the mammary cancer models, there was no significant change in the tumor latency or metastasis in silicon-irradiated mice compared to controls. For the liver cancer models, we observed an increase in tumor incidence but not tumor aggressiveness in irradiated mice. Tumors in the HZE-irradiated mice were not more aggressive than those arising from exposure to low-LET γ-rays or spontaneously. Thus, enhanced aggressiveness does not appear to be a uniform characteristic of all tumors in HZE-irradiated animals.

description: Constrained submodular maximization problems have long been studied, with near-optimal results known under a variety of constraints when the submodular function is monotone. The case of non- monotone submodular maximization is less understood: the first approximation algorithms even for the unconstrainted setting were given by Feige et al. (FOCS ’07). More recently, Lee et al. (STOC ’09, APPROX ’09) show how to approximately maximize non-monotone submodular functions when the constraints are given by the intersection of p matroid constraints; their algorithm is based on local- search procedures that consider p-swaps, and hence the running time may be n (p), implying their algorithm is polynomial-time only for constantly many matroids. In this paper, we give algorithms that work for p-independence systems (which generalize constraints given by the intersection of p matroids), where the running time is poly(n, p). Our algorithm essentially reduces the non-monotone maximization problem to multiple runs of the greedy algorithm previously used in the monotone case. Our idea of using existing algorithms for monotone functions to solve the non-monotone case also works for maximizing a submodular function with respect to a knapsack constraint : we get a simple greedy-based constant-factor approximation for this problem. With these simpler algorithms, we are able to adapt our approach to constrained non-monotone submodular maximization to the (online) secretary setting, where elements arrive one at a time in random order, and the algorithm must make irrevocable decisions about whether or not to select each element as it arrives. We give constant approximations in this secretary setting when the algorithm is constrained subject to a uniform matroid or a partition matroid, and give an O(log k) approximation when it is constrained by a general matroid of rank k.

description: Purpose. Estimating the cancer risk associated with interplanetary travel is complicated by the lack of data for human exposure to high atomic number, high-energy (HZE) radiation encountered in space. Therefore, human exposure data from low linear energy transfer (low-LET) γ-ray radiation is used in cancer risk models with the critical assumption that HZE and γ-ray radiation have comparable biological effects, including the induction of the same spectrum of tumors with similar lethality. Recently this assumption has been challenged by several reports indicating that HZE radiation might produce more aggressive tumors. The goal of this research is to test the hypothesis that high-LET HZE radiation induced tumors are more aggressive than those that arise spontaneously or from exposure to low-LET γ-rays. Materials & methods. The FVB/N-Tg(MMTV-PyMT) and (DBAxFVB)F1-Tg(MMTV-PyMT) murine models of mammary cancer and the C3H-Tg(Afp-mCherry) and C3B6F1-Tg(Afp-mCherry) liver cancer models were used to determine the impact of exposure to 0.2 Gy of HZE 300 MeV/n silicon ions in comparison to 3 Gy of γ-rays and no radiation. Various measures of tumor aggressiveness including latency, size, pathological grade, prognostic biomarkers, metastasis, and survival were assessed. Results. For both mammary cancer models, there was no significant change in the latency of mammary tumors or in the number or size of pulmonary metastasis in silicon-irradiated mice compared to their sham-irradiated controls. For the C3H-Tg and C3B6-Tg liver cancer models, we did observe an increase in the incidence of liver cancer in irradiated mice, but no differences in measures of aggressiveness, including tumor size, grade, metastasis, or overall survival. Conclusion. The principle finding of our study is that tumors in the HZE-irradiated mice were not more aggressive than those arising from exposure to low-LET γ-rays or spontaneously. Thus, we conclude that enhanced aggressiveness does not appear to be a uniform characteristic of all tumors in HZE-irradiated animals.

description: During recent years, microelectronics helped to develop complex and varied technologies. It appears that many of these technologies can be applied successfully to realize Seebeck micro generators: photolithography and deposition methods allow to elaborate thin thermoelectric structures at the micro-scale level. Our goal is to scavenge energy by developing a miniature power source for operating electronic components. First Bi and Sb micro-devices on silicon glass substrate have been manufactured with an area of 1cm2 including more than one hundred junctions. Each step of process fabrication has been optimized: photolithography, deposition process, anneals conditions and metallic connections. Different device structures have been realized with different micro-line dimensions. Each devices performance will be reviewed and discussed in function of their design structure.

description: Angesichts des bereits laufenden und weiter steigenden massiven Zubaus volatiler erneuerbarer Wind- und Solarkapazitäten im Stromsektor wird eine verstärkte Flexibilisierung der Bedarfsseite zur Unterstützung des Netzausbaus und der Netzstabilität immer dringlicher. Im Rahmen der thermischen Sektorkopplung konzentriert sich diese Arbeit insbesondere auf den strommarktorientierten Einsatz von Energiewandlern wie geothermisch gekoppelten Wärmepumpen. Zu Zeiten günstiger Strompreise ist der Strommix in der Regel auch weniger CO2-behaftet, so dass sich neben dem netzdienlichen und wirtschaftlichen günstigen auch noch ein ökologisch positiver Effekt einstellt. Im Rahmen dieses Papers präsentieren wir eine strommarktorientierte Betriebsplanungs- und Optimierungsstrategie verschiedener geothermischer Wärmepumpensysteme für die Versorgung unseres wachsenden Energiecampus am Bochumer Standort des Fraunhofer IEG. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit besteht darin, die Flexibilitäten der verschiedenen bestehenden und zukünftigen geothermischen Anlagen und Abnehmer abzuschätzen, neue zu dimensionieren und zu simulieren, um ein effizientes und nachhaltiges Energieversorgungssystem zu konzipieren. Neben der Analyse der geothermischen Anlagen und Abnehmer inklusive ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit, Kapazitätsgrenzen und Flexibilitäten liegt besonderes Augenmerk auf der Untersuchung der technischen Voraussetzungen und Möglichkeiten, unser Energie- und Anlagensystem zur Teilnahme am Day-Ahead-Markt zu befähigen. Unter Berücksichtigung verschiedener Anlagendesigns, Marktbedingungen und Betriebsparameter modellieren wir das Verhalten des Systems, um die strommarktorientierte Steuerungsstrategie dann anschließend sowohl wirtschaftlich als auch ökologisch zu bewerten. Diese Studie zielt darauf ab, das Potenzial einer strommarktorientierten Betriebsplanungs- und Optimierungsstrategie für geothermische Anlagen auf unserem Energiecampus und ähnlichen Standorten und Quartieren aufzuzeigen. Durch die optimierte Nutzung solcher flexiblen Quartiere kann ein Beitrag zu Kosteneinsparungen, zur Reduzierung von CO2-Emissionen und zur Verbesserung der Netzdienlichkeit und Resilienz des Gesamtenergiesystems geleistet werden.

description: This paper presents a new direct method for estimating the average center of rotation (CoR). An existing least-squares (LS) solution has been shown by previous works to have reduced accuracy for data with small range of motion (RoM). Alternative methods proposed to improve the CoR estimation use iterative algorithms. However, in this paper we show that with a carefully chosen normalization scheme, constrained least-squares solutions can perform as well as iterative approaches, even for challenging problems with significant noise and small RoM. In particular, enforcing the normalization constraint avoids poor fits near plane singularities that can affect the existing LS method. Our formulation has an exact solution, accounts for multiple markers simultaneously, and does not depend on manually-adjusted parameters. Simulation tests compare the method to four published CoR estimation techniques. The results show that the new approach has the accuracy of the iterative methods as well as the short computation time and repeatability of a least-squares solution. In addition, application of the new method to experimental motion capture data of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint yielded a more plausible CoR location compared to the previously reported LS solution and required less time than all four alternative techniques.
KISSING AS AN HONEST SIGNAL AND COMMITMENT ASSESSMENT MECHANISM

description: One set of adaptive problems that our ancestors surely faced when forming and maintaining a pair-bond was assessing another’s commitment to the relationship and honestly signaling one’s commitment to the relationship. We should expect men and women to be equipped with a psychology that monitors the status of the relationship and deploys tactics to assess and signal commitment. Research suggests that kissing might be one such tactic. I hypothesize that because kissing is risky (possibly transmitting pathogens, viruses, and bacteria), it might be an honest (or at least, hard to fake) signal that one is interested in or committed to the relationship. In the current study, I assessed the relationship between kissing attitudes and behaviors to feelings of commitment to the relationship for both the individual and perceptions of their partner. We also examined if kissing commonly occurred at times when commitment tends to be more uncertain, and if cues of commitment uncertainty were related to increases in kissing attitudes and behaviors. My hypothesis was supported that there is a relationship between kissing attitudes and behavior with feelings of commitment as well as with cues of commitment uncertainty.

description: We present a simplified BB84 protocol with only three quantum states and one decoy-state level. We implement this scheme using the polarization degree of freedom at telecom wavelength. Only one pulsed laser is used in order to reduce possible side-channel attacks. The repetition rate of 625 MHz and the achieved secret bit rate of 23 bps over 200 km of standard fiber are the actual state of the art.
Beyond Trees: Regulons and Regulatory Motif Characterization

description: Trees and their seeds regulate their germination, growth, and reproduction in response to environmental stimuli. These stimuli, through signal transduction, trigger transcription factors that alter the expression of various genes leading to the unfolding of the genetic program. A regulon is conceptually defined as a set of target genes regulated by a transcription factor by physically binding to regulatory motifs to accomplish a specific biological function, such as the CO-FT regulon for flowering timing and fall growth cessation in trees. Only with a clear characterization of regulatory motifs, can candidate target genes be experimentally validated, but motif characterization represents the weakest feature of regulon research, especially in tree genetics. I review here relevant experimental and bioinformatics approaches in characterizing transcription factors and their binding sites, outline problems in tree regulon research, and demonstrate how transcription factor databases can be effectively used to aid the characterization of tree regulons.

description: This work presents recent advances in the development and the integration of an electrochemical (chemicalelectrical energy conversion) micro power generator used as a high voltage energy source for RF-MEMS powering. Autonomous MEMS require similarly miniaturized power sources. Up to day, solid state thin film batteries are realized with mechanical masks. This method doesn't allow dimensions below a few mm^2 active area, and besides the whole process flow is done under controlled atmosphere so as to ensure materials chemical stability (mainly lithiated materials). Within this context, Microelectronics micro-fabrication procedures (photolithography, Reactive Ion Etching...) are used to reach both miniaturisation (100x100 $μ$m^2 targeted unit cell active area) and Above IC technological compatibility. All process steps developed here are realized in clean room environment.

description: Document sketching using Jaccard similarity has been a workable effective technique in reducing near-duplicates in Web page and image search results, and has also proven useful in file system synchronization, compression and learning applications.
Min-wise sampling can be used to derive an unbiased estimator for Jaccard similarity and taking a few hundred independent consistent samples leads to compact sketches which provide good estimates of pairwise-similarity. Subsequent works extended this technique to weighted sets and show how to produce samples with only a constant number of hash evaluations for any element, independent of its weight. Another improvement by Li et al. shows how to speedup sketch computations by computing many (near-)independent samples in one shot. Unfortunately this latter improvement works only for the unweighted case.
In this paper we give a simple, fast and accurate procedure which reduces weighted sets to unweighted sets with small impact on the Jaccard similarity. This leads to compact sketches consisting of many (near-)independent weighted samples which can be computed with just a small constant number of hash function evaluations per weighted element. The size of the produced unweighted set is furthermore a tunable parameter which enables us to run the unweighted scheme of Li et al. in the regime where it is most efficient. Even when the sets involved are unweighted, our approach gives a simple solution to the densification problem that other works attempted to address.
Unlike previously known schemes, ours does not result in an unbiased estimator. However, we prove that the bias introduced by our reduction is negligible and that the standard deviation is comparable to the unweighted case. We also empirically evaluate our scheme and show that it gives significant gains in computational efficiency, without any measurable loss in accuracy.

description: Libraries are increasingly pushing the boundaries in their roles as content creators and publishers of scholarly journals, monographs, educational resources, and multi-media digital projects. In this rapidly shifting landscape, the tools and platforms we use to create content and make it accessible are critical to our work. However, often little attention is paid to the usability of these tools, less so to the user experience of readers, authors, reviewers, and editors and the role that it plays in the adoption and success of library publishing programs and services. How can improving the user experience of publishing tools contribute positively to advancing the goals of library publishing and open access in the highly competitive commercial world of academic publishing? Why should libraries and developers of publishing platforms care about the user experience of authors, readers, and editors?
