description: Multi-task learning has gained popularity due to the advantages it provides with respect to resource usage and performance. Nonetheless, the joint optimization of parameters with respect to multiple tasks remains an active research topic. Sub-partitioning the parameters between different tasks has proven to be an efficient way to relax the optimization constraints over the shared weights, may the partitions be disjoint or overlapping. However, one drawback of this approach is that it can weaken the inductive bias generally set up by the joint task optimization. In this work, we present a novel way to partition the parameter space without weakening the inductive bias. Specifically, we propose Maximum Roaming, a method inspired by dropout that randomly varies the parameter partitioning, while forcing them to visit as many tasks as possible at a regulated frequency, so that the network fully adapts to each update. We study the properties of our method through experiments on a variety of visual multi-task data sets. Experimental results suggest that the regularization brought by roaming has more impact on performance than usual partitioning optimization strategies. The overall method is flexible, easily applicable, provides superior regularization and consistently achieves improved performances compared to recent multi-task learning formulations.

description: This paper outlines the significance of the concept of conservation value and discusses ways in which it is determined paying attention to views stemming from utilitarian ethics and from deontological ethics. The importance of user costs in relation to economic decisions about the conservation and use of natural resources is emphasised. Particular attention is given to competing views about the importance of conserving natural resources in order to achieve economic sustainability. This then lends to a discussion of the value of conserving natural resources in order to meet the moral obligations of present generations to future generations. Anthropogenic views of the value of conserving natural resources (for example, derived from utilitarian ethics) are contrasted with views stressing mankind’s obligations to nature (ecocentric views). The latter are often based on deontological ethics.

description: Transfer learning facilitates the training of task-specific classifiers using pre-trained models as feature extractors. We present a family of transferable adversarial attacks against such classifiers, generated without access to the classification head; we call these \emph{headless attacks}. We first demonstrate successful transfer attacks against a victim network using \textit{only} its feature extractor. This motivates the introduction of a label-blind adversarial attack. This transfer attack method does not require any information about the class-label space of the victim. Our attack lowers the accuracy of a ResNet18 trained on CIFAR10 by over 40\%.

description: We compare two naturally arising notions of unknotting number for 2-spheres in the 4-sphere: namely, the minimal number of 1-handle stabilizations needed to obtain an unknotted surface, and the minimal number of Whitney moves required in a regular homotopy to the unknotted 2-sphere. We refer to these invariants as the stabilization number and the Casson-Whitney number of the sphere, respectively. Using both algebraic and geometric techniques, we show that the stabilization number is bounded above by one more than the Casson-Whitney number. We also provide explicit families of spheres for which these invariants are equal, as well as families for which they are distinct. Furthermore, we give additional bounds for both invariants, concrete examples of their non-additivity, and applications to classical unknotting number of 1-knots.

description: This paper presents an analysis procedure for experimental data using theoretical functions generated by Monte Carlo. Applying the classical chi-square fitting procedure for some multiparameter systems is extremely difficult due to a lack of an analytical expression for the theoretical functions describing the system. The proposed algorithm is based on the least square method using a grid of Monte Carlo generated functions each corresponding to definite values of the minimization parameters. It is used for the E742 experiment (TRIUMF, Vancouver, Canada) data analysis with the aim to extract muonic atom scattering parameters on solid hydrogen.

description: Studies of Spanish cooperatives date their spread from the Law on Agrarian Syndicates of 1906. But the first legislative appearance of cooperatives is an 1869 measure that permitted general incorporation for lending companies. The 1931 general law on cooperatives, which was the first act permitting the formation of cooperatives in any activity, reflects the gradual disappearance of the cooperative’s “business” characteristics. In this paper we trace the Spanish cooperative’s legal roots in business law and its connections to broader questions of the freedom of association, the formation of joint-stock enterprises, and the liability of investors in business and cooperative entities. Our account underscores the similarities of the organizational problems approach by cooperatives and business firms, while at the same time respecting the distinctive purposes cooperatives served.

description: In this paper a new functional integral representation for classical dynamics is introduced. It is achieved by rewriting the Liouville picture in terms of bosonic creation-annihilation operators and utilizing the standard derivation of functional integrals for dynamical quantities in the coherent states representation. This results in a new class of functional integrals which are exactly solvable and can be found explicitly when the underlying classical systems are integrable.

description: Automating human preimplantation embryo grading offers the potential for higher success rates with in vitro fertilization (IVF) by providing new quantitative and objective measures of embryo quality. Current IVF procedures typically use only qualitative manual grading, which is limited in the identification of genetically abnormal embryos. The automatic quantitative assessment of blastocyst expansion can potentially improve sustained pregnancy rates and reduce health risks from abnormal pregnancies through a more accurate identification of genetic abnormality. The expansion rate of a blastocyst is an important morphological feature to determine the quality of a developing embryo. In this work, a deep learning based human blastocyst image segmentation method is presented, with the goal of facilitating the challenging task of segmenting irregularly shaped blastocysts. The type of blastocysts evaluated here has undergone laser ablation of the zona pellucida, which is required prior to trophectoderm biopsy. This complicates the manual measurements of the expanded blastocyst's size, which shows a correlation with genetic abnormalities. The experimental results on the test set demonstrate segmentation greatly improves the accuracy of expansion measurements, resulting in up to 99.4% accuracy, 98.1% precision, 98.8% recall, a 98.4% Dice Coefficient, and a 96.9% Jaccard Index.

description: Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides Lacépède, 1802) is one of the most searched species in sports fishing, being culturally consumed over the last century. The aim of this study was to characterize the proximate composition and nutritional lipid quality of wild bass from the south of Portugal and compare it temporally (winter vs summer) and spatially, according to the reservoir where individuals were captured. Reservoir characteristics and season had significant effects on the proximate composition and nutritional lipid quality of this species in Mediterranean ecosystems. In largemouth bass fillet, ω3-FA family was the most representative in all reservoirs and seasons. Bass are carnivorous, with high values of C18:1ω9. Results also reveal the presence of macroalgae, microalgae and heterotrophic bacteria fatty acids origins. Lipid health indexes suggest that the flesh of wild bass provides nutritional benefits based on its lipid profile. Results contribute to value wild largemouth bass as a gastronomic item.

We solve the Schr{\" o}dinger equation of the model in the case of n=2 and construct the controlled NOT gate by making use of a resonance condition and rotating wave approximation associated to it. Our method is not heuristic but completely mathematical, and the significant feature is a consistent use of Rabi oscillations. We also present an idea of the construction of three controlled NOT gates in the case of n=3 which gives the controlled-controlled NOT gate.

description: It is now common for producers (economic protectionism), consumers and social advocates (humanitarian motives) to urge for the inclusion of labour standards in international trade agreements. In spite of this, there has been little empirical work to determine whether low labour standards lead to trade distortions. This paper provides some empirical evidence pertaining to this question. Consumer groups, social advocates and traditional vested interests such as labour unions have attempted to have labour standards included in WTO disciplines. In the absence of success at the WTO, the relationship between labour standards and international trade has, however, been evolving in the areas of private standards and preferential trade agreements. Given the role that preferential trade agreements sometimes take in establishing future directions in multilateral trade agreements and the increasing dissatisfaction with the WTO’s treatment of consumer issues in general, in the future labour standards may well work their way into multilateral trade agreements. The empirical results show that low labour standards lead to trade distortions. These effects appear to be small. Further research in this area is suggested.

Remarkably, the classical origin of these excitations can be traced to the random walk of partons in the two dimensional space spanned by the SU(3) Casimirs. This term is naturally suppressed for a large nucleus at high energies.

description: Some authors found that delayed repair of Achilles tendon ruptures achieved similar functional outcomes when compared with acute repair of Achilles tendon ruptures. The purpose of our study was to compare functional outcomes and complication rates of acute repair to delayed repair after Achilles tendon ruptures. PubMed, Embase (Ovid) and the Cochrane Library were searched. For Achilles tendon rupture score (ATRS), the overall result revealed that there was no significant difference in ATRS between acute repair groups and delayed repair groups (P = 0.59). For Tegner scores, Halasi scores and Achilles tendon resting angle (ATRA), there was no significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.28, P = 0.47 and P = 0.68). There was no significant difference in the subjective assessment between acute repair groups and delayed repair groups (P = 0.84). However, delayed repair groups showed a higher incidence of complications than acute repair groups (P = 0.01). Subgroup analyses showed that the mean time from injury to surgery of delayed repair groups affect the pooled result substantially. For mean time less than 28d, there was no difference in the incidence of complications between acute repair groups and delayed repair groups (P = 0.09). However, for mean time more than 28d, delayed repair groups showed a higher incidence of complications than acute repair groups (P = 0.05). Our study showed delayed repair could obtain similar functional outcomes and subjective assessment when compared with acute repair. However, the rate of complications after delayed repair was higher than that of early repair. Further high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCT) are needed to evaluate the difference.

description: The possible associations between the microquasars LS 5039 and LS I +61 303 and the EGRET sources 3EG J1824-1514 and 3EG J0241+6103 suggest that microquasars could also be sources of high-energy gamma-rays. In this work, we present a detailed numerical inverse Compton (IC) model, based on a microquasar scenario, that reproduces the high-energy gamma-ray spectra and variability observed by EGRET for the mentioned sources. Our model considers a population of relativistic electrons entrained in a cylindrical inhomogeneous jet that interact through IC scattering with both the radiation and the magnetic fields.

description: Exploration in multi-agent reinforcement learning is a challenging problem, especially in environments with sparse rewards. We propose a general method for efficient exploration by sharing experience amongst agents. Our proposed algorithm, called Shared Experience Actor-Critic (SEAC), applies experience sharing in an actor-critic framework. We evaluate SEAC in a collection of sparse-reward multi-agent environments and find that it consistently outperforms two baselines and two state-of-the-art algorithms by learning in fewer steps and converging to higher returns. In some harder environments, experience sharing makes the difference between learning to solve the task and not learning at all.

description: We present a wide-field imaging study of the colors of bright galaxies in 12 X-ray selected clusters and groups of galaxies at z ~ 0.3. The systems cover one of the largest ranges in X-ray luminosity (Lx ~ 10^43 - 10^45 erg/s), and hence mass, of any sample studied at this redshift. We find that the `red' galaxies form a tight color-magnitude relation (CMR) and that neither the slope nor zero-point of this relation changes significantly over the factor of 100 in X-ray luminosity of our sample. Using stellar population synthesis models we find our data allow a maximum possible change of 2 Gyrs in the typical age of the galaxies on the CMR over the range of Lx of our sample. We also measure the fraction of blue galaxies (fb) relative to the CMR in our clusters and find a low value of fb ~ 0.1 and find that there is no correlation between fb and Lx over our large Lx range. However, both the CMR and fb do depend on cluster radius, with the zero-point of the CMR shifting blueward in B-R by 0.10 +/- 0.036 magnitudes out to 0.75 times the virial radius, equivalent to a luminosity weighted age gradient of ~ 2.5 Gyrs per log(radius). It thus appears that the global cluster environment, in the form of cluster mass (Lx), has little influence on the properties of bright cluster galaxies, whereas the local environment, in the form of galaxy density (radius), has a strong effect. The range of ~ 100 in Lx corresponds to a factor of ~ 40 in ram-pressure efficiency, suggesting that ram-pressure stripping, or other mechanisms that depend on cluster mass like tidal stripping or harassment, are unlikely to be solely responsible for changing the galaxy population from the `blue' star forming galaxies, that dominate low density environments, to the `red' passive galaxies that dominate cluster cores.(abridged)

The super geomagnetic storm of May 10-16, 2024, primarily caused by a series of Coronal

Mass Ejections (CMEs) from Active Region (AR) 13664, captured the attention of both the

scientific community and the public. The storm's intense auroral displays were visible across

nearly the entire globe during the most disturbed geomagnetic conditions on May 10-11.

Additionally, a solar energetic particle (SEP) event that began on May 11 was classified as a

ground-level enhancement (GLE) event. When AR 13664 moved to the farside of the solar disk,

its energetic eruptions triggered another strong SEP event, during which NASA’s Curiosity

rover's Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) recorded the highest radiation dose since landing

on Mars 12 years ago.

The effects of these space weather events on space assets and humans are varied and

complex, depending on both time and location. Different phenomena, such as flares, SEPs, and

CMEs, arrive at various points of interest at different times and with varying durations. During

the period of May 10-16, 2024, the main impacts included the severe geomagnetic storm (the

largest one since the 2003 Halloween storm) in near-Earth space and radiation from SEPs.

Such a severe geomagnetic storm can have numerous harmful effects, including disruptions to

power grids, navigation, communication systems, and the altitude/attitude control of satellites. It

can also increase satellite drag, complicating precise orbit determination and collision avoidance

efforts, and cause charging effects on satellite components. An SEP event can lead to single

event effects on space hardware and pose radiation risks to humans in space, as well as affect

avionics and aviation operations. End-users are particularly interested in the ability to directly

forecast these impacts.

While providing an overview of the space weather environment originating from the Sun

associated with the 10-16 May 2024 period, we will focus on the inner magnetosphere dynamics

that could induce spacecraft charging effects and on assessment of the current modeling

capabilities.

Several models at CCMC (Model Catalog | CCMC) will be used to investigate the ring current

and radiation belt dynamics, including:

1. CIMI (Comprehensive Inner Magnetosphere-Ionosphere)

2. RAM-SCB (Ring current-Atmosphere interactions Model with Self-Consistent magnetic

field)

3. VERB (Versatile Electron Radiation Belt) code

4. SHELLS (Specifying High-altitude Electrons using Low-altitude LEO Satellites)

5. ORIENT (Outer RadIation belt Electron Neural net model)

6. IMPTAM (Inner Magnetosphere Particle Transport and Acceleration Model)

description: We present the first study of a magnetic quantum phase transition in the itinerant-electron ferromagnet Ni3Al at high pressures. Electrical resistivity measurements in a diamond anvil cell at hydrostatic pressures up to 100 kbar and temperatures as low as 50 mK indicate that the Curie temperature collapses towards absolute zero at a critical pressure pc=82(2) kbar. Over wide ranges in pressure and temperature, both in the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic states, the temperature variation of the resistivity is found to deviate from the conventional Fermi-liquid form. We consider the extent to which this deviation can be understood in terms of a mean-field model of enhanced spin fluctuations on the border of ferromagnetism in three dimensions.

Theoretical models of the genetics of adaptation
Creators: name: Griswold, Cortland K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis presents models that predict the effects of genetic factors contributing to an adaptation when mutations act pleiotropically and when populations are spatially substructured. When mutations act pleiotropically, it is possible for a mutation to have both beneficial and deleterious effects on different phenotypic characters. In chapter two, I quantify the fraction of mutations that are fixed by selection that have deleterious pleiotropic effects on a given character. Results show that as the degree of pleiotropy increases the frequency of deleterious fixed effects on a character increases. In chapter three, I present the expected relationship between the effects of a fixed mutation on phenotypic characters. Results show that the expected correlation among the effects of a fixed mutation is usually less, sometimes much less, than the mutational correlation. Furthermore, I show that as the beneficial effect of a fixed mutation on one character becomes large, the expected size of a pleiotropic effect on another character approaches the expected size of a random mutation given the effect on the first character. Chapter four addresses a model in which characters that are affected by mutations that have limited or no pleiotropic effects are postulated to evolve more quickly than ones that are affected by mutations that have pleiotropic effects. I present new results showing conditions under which an increase in pleiotropy has no effect on the rate of adaptation or actually increases the rate of adaptation. In chapter five, I give the expected distribution of effects of mutations that contribute to local adaptations in a species that is substructured, experiencing heterogeneous selection, and when there is migration between local populations. I show that when two populations exchange migrants, mutations with larger phenotypic effects tend to cause more of the overall phenotypic difference than when populations are isolated. In a QTL study this means that the average percent variance explained by a QTL allele will be greater, on average, when there is migration than when there is not.
Heavy Supersymmetric Particle Effects in Higgs Boson Production Associated with a Bottom Quark Pair at LHC and Tevatron

description: If all the supersymmetry particles (sparticles) except a light Higgs boson are too heavy to be directly produced at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and Tevatron, a possible way to reveal evidence for supersymmetry is through their virtual effects in other processes. We examine such supersymmetric QCD effects in bottom pair production associated with a light Higgs boson at the LHC and Tevatron. We find that if the relevant sparticles (gluinos and squarks) are well above the TeV scale, too heavy to be directly produced, they can still have sizable virtual effects in this process. For large $\tanβ$, such residual effects can alter the production rate by as much as 40 percent, which should be observable in future measurements of this process.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Novae are panchromatic thermonuclear transient eruptions taking place on the surfaces of accreting white dwarfs in interacting binary stars. Our understanding of how nova emission is powered has been altered with the detection of high-energy GeV and TeV gamma-rays from several novae. This discovery highlighted the important role of shocks in powering nova emission. In this talk, I will highlight the recent advances in our understanding of the high-energetic shocks in novae and the role of BRITE observations in confirming theoretical predictions about their role in powering nova emission. I will also discuss future predicted nova events, in which BRITE observations can play an integral role in exploring the multi-wavelength emission in novae.

description: Este artículo analiza la eficacia de los incentivos financieros y no financieros en la retención de talento dentro de las organizaciones. En un contexto competitivo, donde la retención de empleados clave es esencial para el éxito empresarial, las empresas deben implementar estrategias de motivación que no solo recompensen el rendimiento, sino que también fomenten la lealtad y el compromiso.El estudio explora cómo los incentivos financieros, como bonificaciones, aumentos salariales y opciones de acciones, influyen en la permanencia de los empleados, en comparación con los incentivos no financieros, que incluyen reconocimiento, oportunidades de desarrollo profesional y un ambiente de trabajo positivo.A través de un análisis empírico, se demuestra que un enfoque equilibrado que combine ambos tipos de incentivos puede ser más eficaz para retener talento a largo plazo. Además, se destacan las mejores prácticas en la implementación de estos modelos de incentivos, ajustados a las necesidades y expectativas individuales de los empleados.

description: This paper presents an empirical study regarding training probabilistic neural networks using training objectives derived from PAC-Bayes bounds. In the context of probabilistic neural networks, the output of training is a probability distribution over network weights. We present two training objectives, used here for the first time in connection with training neural networks. These two training objectives are derived from tight PAC-Bayes bounds. We also re-implement a previously used training objective based on a classical PAC-Bayes bound, to compare the properties of the predictors learned using the different training objectives. We compute risk certificates for the learnt predictors, based on part of the data used to learn the predictors. We further experiment with different types of priors on the weights (both data-free and data-dependent priors) and neural network architectures. Our experiments on MNIST and CIFAR-10 show that our training methods produce competitive test set errors and non-vacuous risk bounds with much tighter values than previous results in the literature, showing promise not only to guide the learning algorithm through bounding the risk but also for model selection. These observations suggest that the methods studied here might be good candidates for self-certified learning, in the sense of using the whole data set for learning a predictor and certifying its risk on any unseen data (from the same distribution as the training data) potentially without the need for holding out test data.
description: New version includes: i) experiment showing the potential of the risk certificate for neural architecture search (Fig. 2); ii) experiments spanning uncertainty quantification and analysis of prior/posterior (Section 7.8); iii) an outline of the strengths of probabilistic neural networks trained by PBB (Section 7.9) and iv) a strengthened discussion on the connection to Bayesian learning

description: Embryo quality assessment based on morphological attributes is important for achieving higher pregnancy rates from in vitro fertilization (IVF). The accurate segmentation of the embryo's inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm epithelium (TE) is important, as these parameters can help to predict the embryo viability and live birth potential. However, segmentation of the ICM and TE is difficult due to variations in their shape and similarities in their textures, both with each other and with their surroundings. To tackle this problem, a deep neural network (DNN) based segmentation approach was implemented. The DNN can identify the ICM region with 99.1% accuracy, 94.9% precision, 93.8% recall, a 94.3% Dice Coefficient, and a 89.3% Jaccard Index. It can extract the TE region with 98.3% accuracy, 91.8% precision, 93.2% recall, a 92.5% Dice Coefficient, and a 85.3% Jaccard Index.
