description: Increasing amount of research has shed light on machine perception of audio events, most of which concerns detection and classification tasks. However, human-like perception of audio scenes involves not only detecting and classifying audio sounds, but also summarizing the relationship between different audio events. Comparable research such as image caption has been conducted, yet the audio field is still quite barren. This paper introduces a manually-annotated dataset for audio caption. The purpose is to automatically generate natural sentences for audio scene description and to bridge the gap between machine perception of audio and image. The whole dataset is labelled in Mandarin and we also include translated English annotations. A baseline encoder-decoder model is provided for both English and Mandarin. Similar BLEU scores are derived for both languages: our model can generate understandable and data-related captions based on the dataset.

Comparative Ellipsis and Variable Binding

Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In this paper, we discuss the question whether phrasal comparatives should be given a direct interpretation, or require an analysis as elliptic constructions, and answer it with Yes and No. The most adequate analysis of wide reading attributive (WRA) comparatives seems to be as cases of ellipsis, while a direct (but asymmetric) analysis fits the data for narrow scope attributive comparatives. The question whether it is a syntactic or a semantic process which provides the missing linguistic material in the complement of WRA comparatives is also given a complex answer: Linguistic context is accessed by combining a reconstruction operation and a mechanism of anaphoric reference. The analysis makes only few and straightforward syntactic assumptions. In part, this is made possible because the use of Generalized Functional Application as a semantic operation allows us to model semantic composition in a flexible way.

No evidence for enhanced [OIII] 88um emission in a z~6 quasar compared to its companion starbursting galaxy

description: We present ALMA band 8 observations of the [OIII] 88um line and the underlying thermal infrared continuum emission in the z=6.08 quasar CFHQS J2100-1715 and its dust-obscured starburst companion galaxy (projected distance: ~60 kpc). Each galaxy hosts dust-obscured star formation at rates > 100 M_sun/yr, but only the quasar shows evidence for an accreting 10^9 M_sun black hole. Therefore we can compare the properties of the interstellar medium in distinct galactic environments in two physically associated objects, ~1 Gyr after the Big Bang. Bright [OIII] 88um emission from ionized gas is detected in both systems; the positions and line-widths are consistent with earlier [CII] measurements, indicating that both lines trace the same gravitational potential on galactic scales. The [OIII] 88um/FIR luminosity ratios in both sources fall in the upper range observed in local luminous infrared galaxies of similar dust temperature, although the ratio of the quasar is smaller than in the companion. This suggests that gas ionization by the quasar (expected to lead to strong optical [OIII] 5008A emission) does not dominantly determine the quasar's FIR [OIII] 88um luminosity. Both the inferred number of photons needed for the creation of O++ and the typical line ratios can be accounted for without invoking extreme (top-heavy) stellar initial mass functions in the starbursts of both sources.

description: Grand canonical simulations are used to calculate adsorption isotherms of various classical gases on alkali metal and Mg surfaces. Ab initio adsorption potentials and Lennard-Jones gas-gas interactions are used. Depending on the system, the resulting behavior can be nonwetting for all temperatures studied, complete wetting, or (in the intermediate case) exhibit a wetting transition. An unusual variety of wetting transitions at the triple point is found in the case of a specific adsorption potential of intermediate strength. The general threshold for wetting near the triple point is found to be close to that predicted with a heuristic model of Cheng et al. This same conclusion was drawn in a recent experimental and simulation study of Ar on CO_2 by Mistura et al. These results imply that a dimensionless wetting parameter w is useful for predicting whether wetting behavior is present at and above the triple temperature. The nonwetting/wetting crossover value found here is w circa 3.3.

description: If the Universe consists of domains of matter and antimatter, annihilations at domain interfaces leave a distinctive imprint on the Cosmic Background Radiation (CBR) sky. The signature is anisotropies in the form of long, thin ribbons of width $θ_W\sim 0.1^\circ$, separated by angle $θ_L\simeq 1^\circ(L/100h^{-1}{Mpc})$ where L is the characteristic domain size, and y-distortion parameter $y \approx 10^{-6}$. Such a pattern could potentially be detected by the high-resolution CBR anisotropy experiments planned for the next decade, and such experiments may finally settle the question of whether or not our Hubble volume is baryon symmetric.

Analytic Solutions of the Teukolsky Equation and their Properties

description: The analytical solutions reported in our previous paper are given as series of hypergeometric or Coulomb wave functions. By using them, we can get the Teukolsky functions analytically in a desired accuracy. For the computation, the deep understanding of their properties is necessary. We summarize the main result: The relative normalization between the solutions with a spin weight s and -s is given analytically by using the Teukolsky-Starobinsky (T-S) identities. By examining the asymptotic behaviors of our solution and combined with the T-S identities and the Wronskian, we found nontrivial identities between the sums of coefficients of the series. These identities will serve to make various expression in simpler forms and also become a powerful tool to test the accuracy of the computation. As an application, we investigated the absorption rate and the evaporation rate of black hole and obtain interesting analytic results.

description: We investigate the behavior of the doubly heavy spin$-3/2$ baryons in cold nuclear matter. In particular, we study the variations of the spectroscopic parameters of the ground state $Ξ^*_{QQ'}$ and $Ω^*_{QQ'}$ particles, with $ Q $ and $ Q' $ being $b $ or $ c $ quark, with respect to the changes in the density of the nuclear medium. We find the shifts on the parameters under question at saturation medium density compared to their vacuum values. It is observed that the parameters of the $Ξ^*_{QQ'}$ states containing two heavy quarks and one up or down quark are affected by the medium, considerably. The parameters of the $Ω^*_{QQ'}$ states containing two heavy quarks and one strange quark, however, do not show any sensitivity to the density of the cold nuclear medium. We also discuss the variations of the vector self-energy at each channel with respect to the changes in the density. The negative shifts in the mass of $Ξ^*_{QQ'}$ states due to nucleons in the medium can be used to study the doubly heavy baryons' interactions with the nucleons. The results obtained can also be used in analyses of the results of the future in-medium experiments.

description: We consider the directed Abelian sandpile model in the presence of sink sites whose density f_t at depth t below the top surface varies as c~1/t^chi. For chi>1 the disorder is irrelevant. For chi<1, it is relevant and the model is no longer critical for any nonzero c. For chi=1 the exponents of the avalanche distributions depend continuously on the amplitude c of the disorder. We calculate this dependence exactly, and verify the results with simulations.

description: We demonstrated nonperturbative high harmonics induced by intense mid-infrared light up to 18th order that well exceed the material bandgap in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides. The intensities of the even-order high-harmonic radiation did not monotonically decrease as the harmonic order increased. By comparing the high harmonic spectra with the optical absorption spectra, we found that the enhancement in the even-order high harmonics could be attributed to the resonance to the band nesting energy. The symmetry analysis shows that the valley polarization and anisotropic band structure lead to polarization of the high-harmonic radiation under excitation with the polarization along the zigzag direction. We also examined the possible recombination pathways of electrons and holes by calculating their dynamics in real and momentum spaces based on three-step model in solids. It revealed that, by considering the electrons and holes generated at neighboring lattice sites, the electron-hole polarization driven to the band nesting region should contribute to the high harmonic radiation. Our findings open the way for attosecond science with monolayer materials having widely tunable electronic structures.

description: In the present studywe examined factors that affect word recognition in Greek while further exploring whether the process is influenced by participants’ educational background. We employed an on-line lexical decision task to a group of 60 young monolingual Greek-speaking adults. Participants had difficulty recognising real words of low frequency while those with lower vs. higher academic attainment were even more vulnerable to this effect. Word length and gender effects were detected but to a smaller extent. The results demonstrate that frequency is the most important factor in word identification although the role of extra-linguistic factors is not to be ignored.

description: In recent years, heavy metal contamination in suburban vegetable soils calls for significant concerns due to the rapid urbanization and industrialization. In present study, 110 suburban vegetable soil samples from Yanbian, Northeast China, were collected. Concentration characteristics, pollution level, health risk, and source identification were evaluated by using different quantitative indices. Concentrations of Pb, Cr, Cu, Ni, Zn, Cd, and As in suburban soils were measured. Mean concentrations of Pb, Cr, Cu, Ni, Zn Cd, and As were 34.9 ± 10.5, 73.5 ± 44.4, 29.6 ± 19.4, 23.4 ± 12.0, 88.5 ± 26.7, 0.16 ± 0.16, and 9.24 ± 3.79 mg/kg, which were showed significantly higher than corresponding background values of Jilin province, respectively. The soils were moderately heavy polluted by Cu and Cd based on the results of geo-accumulated index and pollution indices. The pollution load index indicated that almost all of the study area were middle or heavy polluted, especially in Antu County and Helong City. Children in Yanbian may pose non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks with the major exposure pathway of ingestion. Principle component analysis results suggested that Pb, Cu, Zn, and Cd were mainly associated with agricultural activities, Ni and Cr were defined as combined source (lithogenic and anthropogenic), and As was tended to be from excessive application of pesticides and industrial activities.

description: Variations in craniodental morphology have been correlated to feeding adaptations in living organisms and used as proxies for paleodiet reconstruction. Within the mammalian order Carnivora, the Miocene fossil musteloid Leptarctus has been variably interpreted as a carnivore, frugivore, herbivore, omnivore, or insectivore based on morphological comparisons with extant species. Here, we perform the first simulation of cranial biomechanics in Leptarctus primus, aiming to identify a living analogue using biomechanical capability rather than qualitative morphology. Finite element models (FEMs) of 18 extant carnivorans and two extinct outgroup taxa were used to compare known diet-biomechanics relationships with the biomechanical properties of L. primus FEMs within a phylogenetic context. Multivariate analyses of simulated bite efficiency and skull stiffness values indicate that L. primus is most similar overall to Taxidea taxus (American badger) in unilateral bite simulations. Based on biomechanical predictions, we postulate that L. primus resembled the American badger in its feeding ecology more closely than any other taxon tested and thus conclude that L. primus was dominantly a carnivore with an auxiliary feeding capability of omnivory. We also compared the L. primus FEMs with the potentially synonymous Hypsoparia bozemanensis to determine a possible range of feeding capabilities. We observed an increase in mechanical efficiency with a deepening of the zygomae of H. bozemanensis, a trait previously used to differentiate it from L. primus. Ongoing work to expand the database of cranial biomechanical simulation data across Carnivoramorpha should help to further clarify evolutionary patterns of skull biomechanical specializations in musteloids and other carnivorans.

description: It is proposed that when a charge current circulates in a paramagnetic metal a transverse spin imbalance will be generated, giving rise to a 'spin Hall voltage'. Similarly, that when a spin current circulates a transverse charge imbalance will be generated, hence a Hall voltage, in the absence of charge current and magnetic field. Based on these principles we propose an experiment to generate and detect a spin current in a paramagnetic metal.

description: We study a model for the dynamics of vortices in type II superconductors. In particular, we discuss glassy ``off equilibrium'' properties and ``aging'' in magnetic creep. At low temperatures a crossover point is found, Tg, where relaxation times seem to diverge a' la Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher. Magnetic creep changes by crossing Tg: above Tg power law creep is found asymptotically followed by stretched exponential saturation; below Tg the creep is logarithmic and vortex motion strongly subdiffusive. In this region violation of time translation invariance is found along with important dynamical scaling properties. A thermodynamic glassy transition point can be found at a lower temperature Tc.

description: A two higgs doublet model with tree level natural flavor conservation can lead to P and T odd nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction through tree level Feynman diagrams. In this article we estimate the magnitudes of the parameters that characterize the strength of the S-PS type of NN interaction. Stringent constraints on the parameters can be derived from the measurement of EDM's of Xe, Cs and Hg atoms in the ground state. We show that the predicted values of the parameters lie close to such constraints provided ${\absvt\over \absvo }$ is large.

description: Approximately taking into account the higher-order effects due to multiple-gluon initial-state radiation, we extract from the latest Tevatron data of prompt J/psi hadroproduction the leading colour-octet matrix elements within the nonrelativistic-QCD (NRQCD) factorization formalism proposed by Bodwin, Braaten, and Lepage. We find that the matrix elements which describe the formation of J/psi mesons from colour-octet cc-bar pairs in the angular-momentum states ^{2S+1}L_J = ^1S_0 and ^3P_J, with J = 0,1,2, which are responsible for the excess of the predicted cross section of inelastic J/psi photoproduction over the existing HERA data at high values of the inelasticity variable z, are significantly reduced. We conclude that it is premature to proclaim a discrepancy between the Tevatron and HERA measurements of inclusive J/psi production in the NRQCD framework. We also consider J/psi mesons originating from the radiative feed down of promptly produced chi_{cJ} mesons.

description: It was recently demonstrated that a simple Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm involving the swap of particle pairs dramatically accelerates the equilibrium sampling of simulated supercooled liquids. We propose two numerical schemes integrating the efficiency of particle swaps into equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We first develop a hybrid MD/MC scheme combining molecular dynamics with the original swap Monte Carlo. We implement this hybrid method in LAMMPS, a software package employed by a large community of users. Secondly, we define a continuous time version of the swap algorithm where both the positions and diameters of the particles evolve via Hamilton's equations of motion. For both algorithms, we discuss in detail various technical issues as well as the optimisation of simulation parameters. We compare the numerical efficiency of all available swap algorithms and discuss their relative merits.

An Efficient Algorithm for Surface Generation

description: A method is given that "inverts" a logic grammar and displays it from the point of view of the logical form, rather than from that of the word string. LR-compiling techniques are used to allow a recursive-descent generation algorithm to perform "functor merging" much in the same way as an LR parser performs prefix merging. This is an improvement on the semantic-head-driven generator that results in a much smaller search space. The amount of semantic lookahead can be varied, and appropriate tradeoff points between table size and resulting nondeterminism can be found automatically.

description: When quantum mechanical and general relativistic effects are taken into account in the analysis of distance measurements, one finds a measurability bound. I observe that some of the structures that have been encountered in the literature on the Quantum $κ$-Poincarè Group naturally lead to this bound.

description: The paper reports findings obtained from a naming by definition task in two Greek-speaking individuals with the agrammatic variant of Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA-G). One of the patients was at an early stage of the disease while the other was at a more advanced stage. The patient who was at a later stage produced a greater number of errors that differed significantly from healthy controls. This suggests that PPA-G affects compound naming albeit at a later stage. Qualitative error analysis highlights morphological impairment behind these difficulties in contrast to stroke induced aphasia.

description: Amentoflavone, robustaflavone, 2″,3″-dihydro-3′,3‴-biapigenin, 3′,3‴-binaringenin, and delicaflavone are five major hydrophobic components in the total biflavonoids extract from Selaginella doederleinii (TBESD) that display favorable anticancer properties. The purpose of this study was to develop a new oral delivery formulation to improve the solubilities, dissolution rates, and oral bioavailabilities of the main ingredients in TBESD by the solid dispersion technique. Solid dispersions of TBESD with various hydrophilic polymers were prepared, and different technologies were applied to select the suitable carrier and method. TBESD amorphous solid dispersion (TBESD-ASD) with polyvinylpyrrolidone K-30 was successfully prepared by the solvent evaporation method. The physicochemical properties of TBESD-ASD were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. As a result, TBESD was found to be molecularly dispersed in the amorphous carrier. The solubilities and dissolution rates of all five ingredients in the TBESD-ASD were significantly increased (nearly 100% release), compared with raw TBESD. Meanwhile, TBESD-ASD showed good preservation stability for 3 months under accelerated conditions of 40 °C and 75% relative humidity. A subsequent pharmacokinetic study in rats revealed that Cmax and AUC0–t of all five components were significantly increased by the solid dispersion preparation. An in vivo study clearly revealed that compared to raw TBESD, a significant reduction in tumor size and microvascular density occurred after oral administration of TBESD-ASD to xenograft-bearing tumor mice. Collectively, the developed TBESD-ASD with the improved solubility, dissolution rates and oral bio-availabilities of the main ingredients could be a promising chemotherapeutic agent for cancer treatment.

description: Atmospheric profiling is a requirement for controlling wide-field Adaptive Optics (AO) instruments, analyzing the AO performance with respect to the observing conditions and predicting the Point Spread Function (PSF) spatial variations. We present PEPITO, a new concept for profiling atmospheric turbulence from {\em post~facto} tip-tilt (TT) corrected short-exposure images. PEPITO utilizes the anisokinetism effect in the images between several stars separated from a reference star, and then produces the profile estimation using a model-fitting methodology, by fitting to the long exposure TT-corrected PSF. PEPITO has a high sensitivity to both $C_n^2(h)$ and $L_0(h)$ by relying on the full telescope aperture and a large field of view. It then obtains a high vertical resolution (1\,m-400\,m) configurable by the camera pixel scale, taking advantage of fast statistical convergence (of order of tens of seconds). With only a short exposure-capable large format detector and a numerical complexity independent of the telescope diameter, PEPITO perfectly suits accurate profiling for night optical turbulence site characterization or adaptive optics instruments operations. We demonstrate, in simulation, that the $C_n^2(h)$ and $L_0(h)$ can be estimated to better than 1\% accuracy, from fitted PSFs of magnitude V=11 on a D=0.5\,m telescope with a 10 arcmin field of view.

Quasi-ECM constructions in Greek: Further arguments for a control analysis

Subjects: Exceptional Case-Marking (ECM); control; Greek; finiteness; quasi-ECM

description: This article presents some new evidence for the control account (Kotzoglou 2002; Kotzoglou & Papangeli 2007) of Greek quasi-ECM and replies to Pratt’s (2011) critique of this account. It is argued (in line with Kotzoglou & Papangeli 2007) that quasi-ECM in Greek is a subcase of object control while the apparent counterexamples have alternative explanations. The paper concludes with a brief mention of the possible explanation of similar structures of other languages.

Probing DAMA/LIBRA in the full parameter space of WIMP effective models of inelastic scattering

description: We discuss the compatibility of the combined annual modulation effect measured by DAMA/LIBRA-phase1 and DAMA/LIBRA-phase2 with an explanation in terms of inelastic scattering events induced by the most general Galilean-invariant effective contact interaction of a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) dark matter particle of spin 0, 1/2 or 1. We take into account all the possible interferences among operators by studying the intersections among the ellipsoidal surfaces of constant signal of DAMA and other experiments in the space of the coupling constants of the effective theory. In our analysis we assume a standard Maxwellian velocity distribution in the Galaxy. We find that, compared to the elastic case, inelastic scattering partially relieves but does not eliminate the existing tension between the DAMA effect and the constraints from the null results of other experiments. Such tension is very large in all the parameter space with the exception of a small region for WIMP mass $m_χ\simeq$ 10 GeV and mass splitting $δ\gtrsim$ 20 keV, where it is partially, but not completely relieved. In such region the bounds from fluorine targets are evaded in a kinematic way because the minimal WIMP incoming speed required to trigger upscatters off fluorine exceeds the maximal WIMP velocity in the Galaxy, or is very close to it. As a consequence, we also find that the residual tension between DAMA and other results is more sensitive on the astrophysical parameters compared to the elastic case. We find that the configurations with the smallest tension can produce enough yearly modulation in some of the DAMA bins in compliance with the constraints from other experiments, but the ensuing shape of the modulation spectrum is too steep compared to the measured one. For such configurations the recent COSINE-100 bound is evaded in a natural way due to their large expected modulation fractions.
