description: This contribution argues that Reddit, as a massive, categorized, open-access dataset, is a useful data source, for "almost any topic". Hence, it can be used in data science, e.g. for knowledge exploration. This statement is backed-up with presented analysis, based on 180 manually annotated papers, related to Reddit itself, and data acquired from popular databases of scientific papers. Finally, an open source tool is introduced, which provides an easy access to Reddit resources, and an exploratory data analysis of how Reddit covers selected topics. These functions can be used as a prelude analysis to a broader exploration of Reddit's applicability.
Generalized Gravitational S-Duality and the Cosmological Constant Problem

description: We study S-duality transformations that mix the Riemann tensor with the field strength of a 3-form field. The dual of an (A)dS space time - with arbitrary curvature - is seen to be flat Minkowski space time, if the 3-form field has vanishing field strength before the duality transformation. It is discussed whether matter could couple to the dual metric, related to the Riemann tensor after a duality transformation. This possibility is supported by the facts that the Schwarzschild metric can be obtained as a suitable contraction of the dual of a Taub-NUT-AdS metric, and that metrics describing FRW cosmologies can be obtained as duals of theories with matter in the form of torsion.

description: Non-Newtonian transport properties of an inertial suspension of inelastic rough hard spheres under simple shear flow are determined from the Boltzmann kinetic equation. The influence of the interstitial gas on rough hard spheres is modeled via a Fokker-Planck generalized equation for rotating spheres accounting for the coupling of both the translational and rotational degrees of freedom of grains with the background viscous gas. The generalized Fokker-Planck term is the sum of two ordinary Fokker-Planck differential operators in linear $\mathbf{v}$ and angular $\boldsymbolω$ velocity space. As usual, each Fokker-Planck operator is constituted by a drag force term (proportional to $\mathbf{v}$ and/or $\boldsymbolω$) plus a stochastic Langevin term defined in terms of the background temperature $T_\text{ex}$. The Boltzmann equation is solved by two different but complementary approaches: (i) by means of Grad's moment method, and (ii) by using a Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK)-type kinetic model adapted to inelastic rough hard spheres. As occurs in the case of \emph{smooth} inelastic hard spheres, our results show that both the temperature and the non-Newtonian viscosity increase drastically with increasing the shear rate (discontinuous shear thickening effect) while the fourth-degree velocity moments also exhibit an $S$-shape. In particular, while high levels of roughness may slightly attenuate the jump of the viscosity in comparison to the smooth case, the opposite happens for the rotational temperature. As an application of these results, a linear stability analysis of the steady simple shear flow solution is also carried out showing that there are regions of the parameter space where the steady solution becomes linearly unstable.

description: Indian language machine translation performance is hampered due to the lack of large scale multi-lingual sentence aligned corpora and robust benchmarks. Through this paper, we provide and analyse an automated framework to obtain such a corpus for Indian language neural machine translation (NMT) systems. Our pipeline consists of a baseline NMT system, a retrieval module, and an alignment module that is used to work with publicly available websites such as press releases by the government. The main contribution towards this effort is to obtain an incremental method that uses the above pipeline to iteratively improve the size of the corpus as well as improve each of the components of our system. Through our work, we also evaluate the design choices such as the choice of pivoting language and the effect of iterative incremental increase in corpus size. Our work in addition to providing an automated framework also results in generating a relatively larger corpus as compared to existing corpora that are available for Indian languages. This corpus helps us obtain substantially improved results on the publicly available WAT evaluation benchmark and other standard evaluation benchmarks.

description: The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of social programs and cash transfer on the labor supply of non-farm family members, in poverty conditions, in rural areas of the Northeastern region, in Brazil. The hypothesis indicates that access to social programs and cash transfers may contribute to discourage the rural workers, in poverty, in their decision to participate and offer hours of work in non-agricultural activities. The methodology consisted on the use of models of Heckman (1979) and double hurdle, of Cragg (1971), which seek to associate the decision to participate in the labor market with the decision to allocate working hours. The database used was the National Survey by Household Sampling (PNAD), of 2006. Furthermore, the estimates for the parent and children showed that the programs have impacted negatively on the participation in non-agricultural activities. It has also been observed that the effects of Bolsa Família programs reduce the chance of teenagers’ participation in the non-agricultural activities, given that it is related to conditionality of school frequency.
The Zeeman-sensitive emission lines of Mg I at 12 micron in Procyon

description: Emission-lines of magnesium at 12 microns have been observed in the spectrum of Procyon. We reproduce the observed, disk-averaged line flux from Procyon (as well as the observed intensity profiles from the Sun) by calculating the line formation, relaxing the assumption of Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium. We find that the lines in Procyon are formed in the photosphere in the same manner as the solar lines. We discuss our modeling of these Rydberg lines and evaluate, among other things, the importance of the ionizing flux and updated model-atom parameters. The lines are of large diagnostic value for measurements of stellar magnetic-fields through their Zeeman splitting. We have not, however, detected splitting of the MgI lines in Procyon. Using simple arguments, we believe we would have detected a magnetic field, had it been of a strength larger than approximately 800 Gauss covering more than a quarter of the surface. We discuss the prospects for future use of the Zeeman-sensitive, mid-infrared, MgI emission lines as a diagnostic tool for stellar magnetic fields.

description: This paper aimed to analyze the relationship between agricultural prices and government policies related to deforestation within the states of Brazilian Legal Amazon, from 1999 to 2011. We utilized data at state level in a panel data model and a method to measure the net effect of policies over deforestation. Results point out that deforestation in the Brazilian Legal Amazon is more correlated with agricultural prices than government spending on farm credit, agriculture and transportation. Despite this correlation, new command and control policies focused on areas where deforestation were more likely to happen were successful, mainly in Mato Grosso State. Finally, we conclude that deforestation is associated with both groups of variables, agriculture prices and policies.

description: Life-history strategies are a crucial aspect of life, which are complicated in group-living species, where pay-offs additionally depend on others’ behaviours. Previous theoretical models of public goods games have generally focused on the amounts individuals contribute to the public good. Yet a much less-studied strategic aspect of public goods games, the timing of contributions, can also have dramatic consequences for individual and collective performance. Here, we develop two stage game theoretical models to explore how the timing of contributions evolves. In the first stage, individuals contribute to a threshold public good based on a performance schedule. The second stage begins once the threshold is met, and the individuals then compete as a function of their performance. We show how contributing rapidly is not necessarily optimal, because delayers can act as ‘cheats,’ avoiding contributing while reaping the benefits of the public good. However, delaying too long can put the delayers at a disadvantage as they may be ill-equipped to compete. These effects lead to bistability in a single group, and spatial diversity among multiple interacting groups.

description: A stable 50 mJ three-channel optical waveform synthesizer is demonstrated and used to reproducibly generate a high-order harmonics supercontinuum in the soft-x-ray region. This synthesizer is composed of pump pulses from a 10-Hz-repetition-rate Ti:sapphire pump laser and signal and idler pulses from an infrared two-stage optical parametric amplifier driven by this pump laser. With the full active stabilization of all relative time delays, relative phases, and the carrier-envelope phase, a shot-to-shot stable intense continuum harmonic spectrum is obtained around 60 eV with pulse energy above 0.24 $μ$J. The peak power of the soft-x-ray continuum is evaluated to be beyond 1 GW with a 140 as transform limit duration. Furthermore, we found a characteristic delay dependence of the multi-cycle waveform synthesizer and established its control scheme. Compared with the one-color case, we experimentally observe an enhancement of the cut-off spectrum intensity by one to two orders of magnitude through the three-color waveform synthesis.

The influence of gender on self-reporting of respiratory symptoms
Creators: name: Alley, Megan Cristin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The American Thoracic Society Questionnaire (ATSQ), an epidemiological questionnaire that is widely used in North America to gather self-reported respiratory symptom data, was recently revised and released for further validity testing. Reviews o f gender and respiratory disease have revealed potential gender differences in self-reported respiratory symptoms, specifically phlegm and dyspnea. The purpose of this study was to describe the cognitive processes that men and women engaged in when responding to ATSQ questions and to compare these processes for potential differences between men and women and to suggest improvements to the ATSQ based on this analysis. This study generated an emergent conceptual model based on semi-structured individual interviews with 20 male and 20 female Coastal Marine Transportation Workers. The findings of the study suggest that respondents interpreted ATSQ questions, reflexively noticed ATSQ symptoms, and integrated their interpretations and experiences to formulate a response. Respondents who clearly defined themselves as either healthy or unhealthy with regards to ATSQ symptoms easily formulated their responses. Conversely, respondents who experienced tension between their interpretations of questions, reflexive noticing of symptoms, and self-identity as healthy or unhealthy, struggled to provide accurate responses. While the response processes were similar for men and women, gendered work environments and the masculine nature of expectorating phlegm emerged as factors that differentially influenced men's and women's responses. It is recommended that revisions be made to the ATSQ to help mitigate tensions experienced by some respondents when formulating their symptom responses.

description: Given a finite group $G$ acting freely on a compact metric space $M$, and $ε>0$, we define the $G$-Borsuk graph on $M$ by drawing edges $x\sim y$ whenever there is a non-identity $g\in G$ such that $d(x,gy)\leqε$. We show that when $ε$ is small, its chromatic number is determined by the topology of $M$ via its $G$-covering number, which is the minimum $k$ such that there is a closed cover $M=F_1\cup\dots\cup F_k$ with $F_i\cap g(F_i)=\emptyset$ for all $g\in G\setminus\{1\}$. We are interested in bounding this number. We give lower bounds using $G$-actions on Hom-complexes, and upper bounds using a recursive formula on the dimension of $M$. We conjecture that the true chromatic number coincides with the lower bound, and give computational evidence. We also study random $G$-Borsuk graphs, which are random induced subgraphs. For these, we compute thresholds for $ε$ that guarantee that the chromatic number is still that of the whole $G$-Borsuk graph. Our results are tight (up to a constant) when the $G$-index and dimension of $M$ coincide.

description: The recent policies of governmental purchases that emerged in the years 2000, such as the National Program of Food in Schools (PNAE) and the Food Acquisition Program (PAA), have brought significant opportunities for family agriculture cooperatives in Brazil to access markets. In spite of the possibilities that the PNAE and the PAA offer to family agriculture and its organizations, these programs also present a series of challenges, which involve different agents in the food acquisition process. This article intends to delineate the profile of family agriculture cooperatives in Minas Gerais and analyze their main difficulties to access the institutional market. We analyzed 19 diagnostics carried out in 2011 in family agriculture cooperatives from different regions of Minas Gerais State. In spite of the access to the local markets in both regional and municipal scopes, it was identified that there are issues related to technical assistance, sanitary adaptation, management and logistics that hinder the access of these cooperatives to such policies in the big centers of Minas Gerais.

description: The generation of thermoelectric coal to power has aroused different opinions and significances. The objective of this paper is to investigate the social representations that groups and social actors in rural areas share about the matter of exploitation of coal in the municipality of Candiota (RS), Southern Brazil. Some representations that compose the relationship between rural and coal in the county were identified. From a theoretical and methodological point of view, were based on the Theory of Social Representations of Serge Moscovici, and the structural approach of social representations of Jean-Claude Abric. We interviewed 46 people between January and March 2012. The central representation of the coal activity in the case study is located around the idea of “economic growth”, depicting a discourse of the reified universe of some socio-economic sectors and the pressure to make inferences about groups. Most of the interviewed people are favorable to the activity (53%), while 28% are opposed and 19% do not consider themselves neither favorable or contrary, varying their arguments according to social position. In the case studied, the level of dependence on coal exploration is unstable and dynamic.
Unification of Gravitation, Gauge Field and Dark Energy

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: This paper is composed of two correlated topics: 1. unification of gravitation with gauge fields; 2. the coupling between the daor field and other fields and the origin of dark energy. After introducing the concept of ``daor field" and discussing the daor geometry, we indicate that the complex daor field has two kinds of symmetry transformations. Hence the gravitation and SU(1,3) gauge field are unified under the framework of the complex connection. We propose a first-order nonlinear coupling equation of the daor field, which includes the coupling between the daor field and SU(1,3) gauge field and the coupling between the daor field and the curvature, and from which Einstein's gravitational equation can be deduced. The cosmological observations imply that dark energy cannot be zero, and which will dominate the doom of our Universe. The real part of the daor field self-coupling equation can be regarded as Einstein's equation endowed with the cosmological constant. It shows that dark energy originates from the self-coupling of the space-time curvature, and the energy-momentum tensor is proportional to the square of coupling constant λ. The dark energy density given by our scenario is in agreement with astronomical observations. Furthermore, the Newtonian gravitational constant G and the coupling constant εof gauge field satisfy G= λ^{2}ε^{2}.

description: With the emergence of the concept of Sustainable Forest Management (SFM), forest agro-industries have been pressured to make decisions based on principles of sustainability, driving all the supply chain players toward forest certification. In Brazil, a process that mirrors this moment is happening in the Agroindustrial System of Acacia Negra. This is, however, in a complex context, implying ambiguous and risky decisions in the context of forest ecosystems. Thus, we propose the following question: what strategic actions forest producers are adopting, and how they relate to the risks in the Acacia agroindustrial system? The goal is to analyze the development and implementation of strategic actions that promote or discourage sustainable self-organization of the system (i.e. forest certification). The theoretical foundation starts with a systemic oriented perspective to the study of organizations and sustainable strategies. It integrates discussions more specifically related to the decision-making, strategies and risks within the rural property. Post-Normal science was the methodology used, following a qualitative approach. As a result, we identified that strategic actions adopted by forest producers are dialogically related to the risks and can have complementary, competitive and even antagonistic influences.

The formula of generalized entropy derived from the gravitational path integration, nevertheless, does not provide concrete insight on how the information comes out from the black hole given that the state of the radiation seems to follow what was given by Hawking. In this paper, we start from a qubit model and provide a quantum informational interpretation of entanglement islands and draw the parallel between the black hole information paradox and the problems of measurements in quantum mechanics. We show that the Page curve can still be realized even if information is lost and the information paradox can be attributed to the measurement problem. We argue that such interpretation is necessary for a quantum informational model if smooth horizons and bulk reconstruction are assumed, and show how it explains the Page curves of solvable models of 2D gravity. Though speculative, the similarities between the black hole information problem and the measurement problem may suggest some link in the origins of the two fundamental issues of distant fields.

description: This research analyzed the technological dynamics of the sugarcane agroindustry in the Midwest region in Brazil, through technological capabilities matrix. Primary data were collected from plants and distilleries by means of questionnaires (the results were: 100% of units in Mato Grosso State, 54.5%, in Mato Grosso do Sul and 50%, in Goiás). As a corollary, it was observed that the sugarcane agroindustries from the three states dominate a great part of technological capabilities in basic and intermediate gradation. However, regarding advanced gradation, the lowest percentages of occurrences were observed in the three states mentioned before. Therefore, it is necessary that the agroindustry allocates its efforts to improve R&D, which will facilitate the creation of new technologies. Overall, it was found that Goiás presented the highest technical concentration, standing out in relation to Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul in several profiles of the technological capabilities matrix.

description: We propose an experiment to observe coherent oscillations in a single quantum dot with the oscillations driven by spin-orbit interaction. This is achieved without spin-polarised leads, and relies on changing the strength of the spin-orbit coupling via an applied gate pulse. We derive an effective model of this system which is formally equivalent to the Jaynes-Cummings model of quantum optics. For parameters relevant to a InGaAs dot, we calculate a Rabi frequency of 2 GHz.

description: Vector boson fusion proposed initially as an alternative channel for finding heavy Higgs has now established itself as a crucial search scheme to probe different properties of the Higgs boson or for new physics. We explore the merit of deep-learning entirely from the low-level calorimeter data in the search for invisibly decaying Higgs. Such an effort supersedes decades-old faith in the remarkable event kinematics and radiation pattern as a signature to the absence of any color exchange between incoming partons in the vector boson fusion mechanism. We investigate among different neural network architectures, considering both low-level and high-level input variables as a detailed comparative analysis. To have a consistent comparison with existing techniques, we closely follow a recent experimental study of CMS search on invisible Higgs with 36 fb$^{-1}$ data. We find that sophisticated deep-learning techniques have the impressive capability to improve the bound on invisible branching ratio by a factor of three, utilizing the same amount of data. Without relying on any exclusive event reconstruction, this novel technique can provide the most stringent bounds on the invisible branching ratio of the SM-like Higgs boson. Such an outcome has the ability to constraint many different BSM models severely.

$L^p$-regularity for fourth order elliptic systems with antisymmetric potentials in higher dimensions

description: We establish an optimal $L^p$-regularity theory for solutions to fourth order elliptic systems with antisymmetric potentials in all supercritical dimensions $n\ge 5$:
 $$
 Δ^2 u=Δ(D\cdot\nabla u)+div(E\cdot\nabla u)+(ΔΩ+G)\cdot\nabla u +f
 \qquad \ {\rm{in}}\ B^n,
 $$
where $Ω\in W^{1,2}(B^n, so_m)$ is antisymmetric and $f\in L^p(B^n)$, and $D, E, Ω, G$ satisfy the growth condition (GC-4), under the smallness condition of a critical scale invariant norm of $\nabla u$ and $\nabla^2 u$. This system was brought into lights from the study of regularity of (stationary) biharmonic maps between manifolds by Lamm-Rivière, Struwe, and Wang. In particular, our results improve Struwe's Hölder regularity theorem to any Hölder exponent $α\in (0,1)$ when $f\equiv 0$, and have applications to both approximate biharmonic maps and heat flow of biharmonic maps.
As a by-product of the techniques, we also extend the $L^p$-regularity theory of harmonic maps by Moser to Rivière-Struwe's second order elliptic systems with antisymmetric potentials under the growth condition (GC-2) in all dimensions, which confirms an expectation by Sharp.

Water-based fine-grained detectors for the T2K experiment

description: T2K is a next-generation neutrino oscillation experiment that will use an off-axis beamline, produced at J-PARC and directed towards the Super-Kamiokande detector, to precisely measure muon neutrino disappearance as well as electron neutrino appearance in a Vμ beam. A near detector, built 280 m downstream of the proton target, is needed in order to monitor the beam as well as to measure neutrino interaction cross-sections. As part of the near detector, two fine-grained detectors (FGDs) combined with three time-projection chambers (TPCs) will form the target mass for neutrino interaction. One FGD will consist of plastic scintillator while the other will contain a significant admixture of water in order to estimate nuclear effects as well as to match Super-K’s target material. The liquid fraction of the water-rich FGD will either consist of pure water (passive configuration) or be made of an active water/liquid scintillator cocktail. This thesis presents the latest design and construction developments relating to the water FGD, looking specifically at important physics issues that need to be solved, such as the mechanical design of the structure, fluid sealing, light yield and stability of aged materials. Extruded sheets of polypropylene with a hollow profile have been considered as a structural element to contain the liquid due to their mechanical strength and low cost. In the active configuration, the individual cells of such an extrusion will become readout channels once threaded with wavelength shifting fibers. Fluid sealing has been studied for both the case of a passive as well as an active water detector, and successful seal prototypes have been built: a simple epoxy seal for the passive water case and a more elaborate two-piece thermal welded endcap for the active detector option. Single-cell prototypes have been filled with the scintillator cocktail, and light yield tests have been performed using a 400-MeV/c proton beam. More specifically, the attenuation length of the fiber has been measured and long term stability of the liquid mixture has been investigated. Results of aging for all considered materials when put in contact with the chemically reactive liquid scintillator are also presented.

description: In bilayers consisting of ferromagnetic and superconducting films, the ferromagnetic film in its domain state induces inhomogeneous distribution of magnetic fields in the superconducting film. When the ferromagnetic film has bubble magnetic domains in a labyrinth structure, it has been found that the pinning of the vortices increases; hence, the critical current of the superconducting film becomes larger. Here we study the effect of parallel ferromagnetic domain structure in Nb/SrRuO3 on the critical current of Nb with current flowing perpendicularly to the domains and find that in this case the ferromagnetic domain structure decreases the critical current.

description: Multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) is a popular method for nonparametric regression introduced by Friedman in 1991. MARS fits simple nonlinear and non-additive functions to regression data. We propose and study a natural lasso variant of the MARS method. Our method is based on least squares estimation over a convex class of functions obtained by considering infinite-dimensional linear combinations of functions in the MARS basis and imposing a variation based complexity constraint. Our estimator can be computed via finite-dimensional convex optimization, although it is defined as a solution to an infinite-dimensional optimization problem. Under a few standard design assumptions, we prove that our estimator achieves a rate of convergence that depends only logarithmically on dimension and thus avoids the usual curse of dimensionality to some extent. We also show that our method is naturally connected to nonparametric estimation techniques based on smoothness constraints. We implement our method with a cross-validation scheme for the selection of the involved tuning parameter and compare it to the usual MARS method in various simulation and real data settings.
