description: This paper presents a sign language conversation system based on the See-Through Face Display to address the challenge of maintaining eye contact in remote sign language interactions. A camera positioned behind a transparent display allows users to look at the face of their conversation partner while appearing to maintain direct eye contact. Unlike conventional methods that rely on software-based gaze correction or large-scale half-mirror setups, this design reduces visual distortions and simplifies installation. We implemented and evaluated a videoconferencing system that integrates See-Through Face Display, comparing it to traditional videoconferencing methods. We explore its potential applications for Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH), including multi-party sign language conversations, corpus collection, remote interpretation, and AI-driven sign language avatars. Collaboration with DHH communities will be key to refining the system for real-world use and ensuring its practical deployment.

description: Radio frequency interference (RFI) detection and excision are key steps in the data-processing pipeline of the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). Because of its high sensitivity and large data rate, FAST requires more accurate and efficient RFI flagging methods than its counterparts. In the last decades, approaches based upon artificial intelligence (AI), such as codes using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have been proposed to identify RFI more reliably and efficiently. However, RFI flagging of FAST data with such methods has often proved to be erroneous, with further manual inspections required. In addition, network construction as well as preparation of training data sets for effective RFI flagging has imposed significant additional workloads. Therefore, rapid deployment and adjustment of AI approaches for different observations is impractical to implement with existing algorithms. To overcome such problems, we propose a model called RFI-Net. With the input of raw data without any processing, RFI-Net can detect RFI automatically, producing corresponding masks without any alteration of the original data. Experiments with RFI-Net using simulated astronomical data show that our model has outperformed existing methods in terms of both precision and recall. Besides, compared with other models, our method can obtain the same relative accuracy with fewer training data, thus reducing the effort and time required to prepare the training data set. Further, the training process of RFI-Net can be accelerated, with overfittings being minimized, compared with other CNN codes. The performance of RFI-Net has also been evaluated with observing data obtained by FAST and the Bleien Observatory. Our results demonstrate the ability of RFI-Net to accurately identify RFI with fine-grained, high-precision masks that required no further modification.

description: The elementary excitations of a fractional quantum Hall liquid are quasiparticles or quasiholes which are neither bosons nor fermions, but so-called anyons. Here we study impurity particles immersed in a quantum Hall liquid which bind to the quasiholes via repulsive interactions with the liquid. We show that the angular momentum of an impurity is given by the multiple of a fractional "quantum" of angular momentum, and can directly be observed from the impurity density. In a system with several impurities bound to quasiholes, their total angular momentum interpolates between the values for free fermions and for free bosons. This interpolation is characterized by the fractional statistical parameter of the anyons which is typically defined via their braiding behavior.

description: Smart farming (SF) is a relatively new concept referring to the use of information and communication technology in farm management, focusing simultaneously on productivity, profitability, and conservation of natural resources. However, despite the benefits, the adoption rate of some SF technologies has not been uniform in some countries. The aim of this paper was to identify the barriers and determining factors influencing the decisions of grain farmers regarding adopting SF technologies. A sample of farmers in southern Brazil (n=119) was analyzed through descriptive analysis, Logit and Poisson models. The results showed there was no strict pattern in farmers’ profile, especially in terms of socioeconomic characteristics, to explain the adoption of SF technologies as a package. Adoption of some technologies requires more years of education and knowledge about how technology works, other technologies demand more scale. Broadly speaking, SF requires farmers to be open and receptive to this concept of agriculture.

description: In evolutionary algorithms a critical parameter that must be tuned is that of selection pressure. If it is set too low then the rate of convergence towards the optimum is likely to be slow. Alternatively if the selection pressure is set too high the system is likely to become stuck in a local optimum due to a loss of diversity in the population. The recent Fitness Uniform Selection Scheme (FUSS) is a conceptually simple but somewhat radical approach to addressing this problem - rather than biasing the selection towards higher fitness, FUSS biases selection towards sparsely populated fitness levels. In this paper we compare the relative performance of FUSS with the well known tournament selection scheme on a range of problems.

description: Recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are creating new opportunities for Human-Autonomy Teaming (HAT) in tasks, missions, and continuous coordinated activities. A major challenge is enabling humans to maintain awareness and control over autonomous assets, while also building trust and supporting shared contextual understanding. To address this, we present a real-time Human Digital Twin (HDT) architecture that integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) for knowledge reporting, answering, and recommendation, embodied in a visual interface.
 The system applies a metacognitive approach to enable personalized, context-aware responses aligned with the human teammate's expectations. The HDT acts as a visually and behaviorally realistic team member, integrated throughout the mission lifecycle, from training to deployment to after-action review. Our architecture includes speech recognition, context processing, AI-driven dialogue, emotion modeling, lip-syncing, and multimodal feedback. We describe the system design, performance metrics, and future development directions for more adaptive and realistic HAT systems.

description: This project begins with what resulted in the end, as the design process did not happen in a neat or linear way. What follows is a collection of observations on the city of Vancouver, specifically regarding its relationship to the weather, its understanding of public space, and the agglomeration of podium towers that constitute much of the downtown. As an attempt to address the underlying tension between these three topics, this project proposes a public observation tower for Vancouver, in an area that is slated to be saturated with new luxury condo developments. In truth, this was all a proxy to explore another question lurking beneath everything else, to which I never found an answer, but rather led me to more questions: What is the value of beauty and aesthetics in architecture, and is there still a place for a genuine discussion on such ideas in architectural discourse?

description: The temperature dependence of the upper critical field ($H_{c2}$) in RbCr$% _{3}$As$_{3}$ single crystals ($T_{c}\approx $ 7.3 K) has been determined by means of magnetoresistance measurements with temperature down to 0.35 K in static magnetic fields up to 38 T. The magnetic field was applied both for directions parallel ($H\parallel c $, $H_{c2}^{\parallel c}$) and perpendicular ($H\perp c$, $H_{c2}^{\perp c}$) to the Cr chains. The curves $H_{c2}^{\parallel c}(T)$ and $H_{c2}^{\perp c}(T)$ cross at $\sim $ 5.5 K. As a result, the anisotropy parameter $γ(T)=H_{c2}^{\perp c}/H_{c2}^{\parallel c}(T)$ increases from 0.5 near $T_{c}$ to 1.6 at low temperature. Fitting with the Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg (WHH) model yields zero-temperature critical fields of $μ_0H_{c2}^{\parallel c}(0)\approx $ 27.2 T and $μ_0H_{c2}^{\perp c}(0)\approx $ 43.4 T, both exceeding the BCS weak-coupling Pauli limit $μ_0H_{p}=1.84T_{c}=13.4$ T. The results indicate that the paramagnetic pair breaking effect is strong for $H \parallel c$ but absent for $H \perp c$, which was further confirmed by the angle dependent magnetoresistance and $H_{c2}$ measurements.

description: Hi! This is the capstone project for DATS 6501. The project uses Random Forest Classifier, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Residual Network 50 (ResNet 50) to analyze and predict the artist of a given piece of artwork. The predictions are made with no other information provided. We separate the project in to two parts, the first part is applying the three models on the full dataset, which contains 8,446 paintings from 50 artists. The second part focus on the artists that have more than 200 paintings. Thus, having 2,499 paintings from 11 artists for the second dataset. At the end, ResNet 50 performs the best for both datasets. The highest accuracy score for testing set is the second dataset, with values of 0.8573. The result indicates that 85.73% of paintings in the testing set are accurately predicted. Another conclusion is when the data is balanced, Random Forest Classifier performs better than CNN. The accuracy scores in the second dataset are 0.51 and 0.4892 for Random Forest and CNN, respectively.
Secure Remote Access to Statistical Microdata

description: A great deal of attention has recently been paid to promoting researcher access to statistical microdata. In this paper, we describe the NORC Data Enclave which offers a secure mechanism for data custodians (e.g., Federal statistical agencies, foundations, etc.) to provide approved researchers access to sensitive business microdata. The enclave offers two modes of access: remote and onsite. We will highlight several innovative features of the enclave. First, the Data Enclave uses a portfolio approach to provide access, whereby physical and logical security technologies are combined with statistical, educational, legal and organizational features to protect confidentiality. Second, the Data Enclave provides a platform for collaboration for geographically dispersed researchers working on an approved research project. Third, data custodians can become directly engaged with researchers in producing and providing DDI compliant metadata documentation by means of blogs and wikis during the research process. The environment extends to providing access to Stata and SAS code to promote replication of research. Finally, researchers can work with data custodians and other researchers to add new data through linkages and addition of new datasets to further build a rich, community-based database infrastructure.

description: The World Space Observatory/Ultraviolet (WSO/UV) represents a new mission implementation model for large space missions for astrophysics. The process has been brought up to enable, fully scientific needs driven, a logic to be applied to the demands for large collection powers required to undertake space missions which are complementary to the continuously increasing sensitivity of ground-based telescopes. One of the assumptions associated with the idea of a WSO is to avoid the excessive complexity required for multipurpose missions. Although there may exist purely technological or programmatic policy issues, which would suggest such more complex missions to be more attractive, many other aspects, which do not need to be explored in this report, may argue against such a mission model. Following this precept and other reasons, the first implementation model for a WSO has been done for the ultraviolet domain WSO/UV. WSO/UV is a follow-up project of the UN/ESA Workshops on Basic Space Science, organised annually since 1991.

description: The IdZA at IZA is a Data Service Center with its own Data Enclave and related technology, whose primary focus is (meta)data relevant for labor economics. The Enclave supports all known approaches to making data available (Ultra-thin Computing Environment, Remote Computing) and some developed in-house (JoSuA). The DSC is making metadata about German data available to a large international Fellow network and beyond, using DDI and other standards for its documentation. One of the major undertakings of the DSC is to provide DDI based English translations of German (meta)data on a large array of datasets relevant to labor economics. The talk will go over the experiences gathered the last 3 or so years, the shortcomings of DDI 2.*, the ways in which these were mended and what we hope for in DDI3.* Some of the newer ambitions and undertakings of IdZA and the context in which (meta)data and remote computing are seen as complementary will also be mentioned.

description: The Florida tomato industry is facing challenges of increased production costs and decreased yields resulting from the methyl bromide (MBr) phase-out under the Montreal Protocol for environmental concerns. MBr and several accepted alternative soil fumigant systems are analyzed in this study from an economic perspective. This article focuses on identifying optimal fumigant systems by analyzing the cost effectiveness and economic risk associated with MBr and several other commercially available soil fumigant systems using data collected from scientific field trials. The results obtained show that a 67:33 formulation of MBr: chloropicrin is the most cost-effective treatment, and no alternative fumigant systems investigated can substitute MBr cost-effectively in Florida tomato production. The analysis indicated that switching from MBr (67:33) to the new industry standard PicChlor 60 approximately resulted in a loss of $3,569 per acre in gross revenue and $1,656 per acre in profit using market prices in the 2013/14 season. Higher market prices would further increase the loss.
Interpretable non-linear dimensionality reduction using gaussian weighted linear transformation
Creators: name: Bergh, Erik
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Dimensionality reduction techniques are fundamental for analyzing and visualizing high-dimensional data. With established methods like t-SNE and PCA presenting a trade-off between representational power and interpretability. This paper introduces a novel approach that bridges this gap by combining the interpretability of linear methods with the expressiveness of non-linear transformations. The proposed algorithm constructs a non-linear mapping between high-dimensional and low-dimensional spaces through a combination of linear transformations, each weighted by Gaussian functions. This architecture enables complex non-linear transformations while preserving the interpretability advantages of linear methods, as each transformation can be analyzed independently. The resulting model provides both powerful dimensionality reduction and transparent insights into the transformed space. Techniques for interpreting the learned transformations are presented, including methods for identifying suppressed dimensions and how space is expanded and contracted. These tools enable practitioners to understand how the algorithm preserves and modifies geometric relationships during dimensionality reduction. To ensure the practical utility of this algorithm, the creation of user-friendly software packages is emphasized, facilitating its adoption in both academia and industry.

description: Electron and hole trapping was studied in the Ce3+ and Pr3+ doped Lu2Si2O7 scintillation single crystals (LPS:Ce and LPS:Pr) by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR). Detailed EPR measurements of the X-ray irradiated LPS crystals revealed that holes generated by irradiation are predominantly trapped at oxygen lattice ions creating O- centers. The same X-ray irradiation creates also electron type centers which were attributed to Lu2+ ions, where the trapped electron at Lu lattice ion is stabilized by a defect nearby, such as oxygen vacancy and Ir3+ impurity ion. Both the hole and electron centers can be thus considered as a bound small polarons, which makes the charge trapping in scintillation mechanism quite competitive. The hole O- and electron Lu2+ centers show thermal stability well above room temperature. The thermal decays of their concentrations correlate well with the appearance of the thermally stimulated luminescence glow peaks at 470-550 K. The presence of the same intrinsic traps in the Ce and Pr doped LPS crystals suggests that difference in the light yield of these crystals is an intrinsic property of the Ce3+ and Pr3+ activator centers in LPS lattice. Charge traps origin in this pyrosilicate structure and their role in scintillation mechanism is compared with the results previously described in literature in orthosilicates.

description: This paper characterizes the operations of the two main types of Argentinian wheat milling companies using Transaction Cost Economics. Small- and medium-sized mills operate efficiently within the macroeconomic context of Argentina by using SPOT market transactions; they exhibit an idle capacity that impedes the full realization of scale effects by keeping its overhead costs high, squeezing them between grain producers and bakeries. The findings suggest that they could produce a higher quality flour destined for supermarkets or exportation by improving their scale effects and access to financing via forward contracts, forming cooperatives and/or becoming part of a Sociedad de Garantía Recíproca (SGR; Mutual Guarantee Society). Molino Cañuelas – the case study illustrating the food companies – benefits not only from using plural forms in its sourcing processes and large-scale effects, but also from investments into producer relationships, processes, and brands, that allow it to achieve higher margins.
Magnetization reversal and two level fluctuations by spin-injection in a ferromagnetic metallic layer

description: Slow magnetic relaxation and two level fluctuations measurements under high current injection is performed in single-contacted ferromagnetic nanostructures. The magnetic configurations of the samples are described by two metastable states of the uniform magnetization. The current-dependent effective energy barrier due to spin-transfer from the current to the magnetic layer is measured. The comparison between the results obtained with Ni nanowires of 6 $μ$m length and 60 nm diameter, and Co (10 nm)/Cu (10 nm)/Co(30 nm) nanometric pillars of about 40 nm in diameter refined the characterization of this effect. It is shown that all observed features cannot be reduced to the action of a current dependent effective field. Instead, all measurements can be described in terms of an effective temperature, which depends on the current amplitude and direction. The system is then analogous to an unstable open system. The effect of current induced magnetization reversal is interpreted as the balance of spin injection between both interfaces of the ferromagnetic layer.

description: Sundagrapha Holloway, 1982
Sundagrapha Holloway, 1982, in: Barlow (1982: 251).
Type species: Lomographa tenebrosa Swinhoe, 1902, by original designation.
Diagnosis. As summarised by Holloway (1982; 1994), this genus resembles Zamarada Moore in characters of the antennae, wing venation and the lack of a basal fovea in the male forewing. This combination of characters distinguishes both genera from the close relatives listed by Fletcher (1974). However, the distinct pattern and colouration differentiate the genus from Zamarada. In addition, the genus Sundagrapha can be distinguished from other related genera based on a combination of several genitalia characters: 1. The aedeagus has a large, asymmetrical cornutus in the vesica; the basal part of the cornutus is rectangular, with the edges of both long sides rolled inward and a single long spine asymmetrically protruding from the distal end of one side (this feature was described by Holloway as 'two unequal cornuti'). 2. The valvae are roughly triangular, with a curved, setose ridge extending from the apex to the base. 3. The lamella antevaginalis is quite large and consists of a broad plate encircled on each side by irregular ridges.
Distribution. Singapore, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, Laos, China (Hainan).

description: This session will describe two iterations of an effort create a quantitative research module for a Masters in Nursing research methods course at the University of Windsor. The first version involved a single three-hour class incorporating both a lecture and a hands-on practice session followed by an assignment to independently locate and analyze a dataset, with extensive support from the library. The second version was both more extensive and more structured, with a three-hour lecture, an assigned reading, a three-hour practice session and an analysis assignment using a pre-selected data set. This session will discuss what worked and what didn't work and will include an analysis of feedback from an anonymous questionnaire filled out by the students following the second unit.

description: We analyze supersymmetric solutions of M-theory based an a seven-dimensional internal space with SU(3) structure and a four-dimensional maximally symmetric space. The most general supersymmetry conditions are derived and we show that a non-vanishing cosmological constant requires the norms of the two internal spinors to differ. We find explicit local solutions with singlet flux and the space being a warped product of a circle, a nearly-Kahler manifold and AdS_4. The embedding of solutions into heterotic M-theory is also discussed.

description: Divisible dynamical maps play an important role in characterizing Markovianity on the level of quantum evolution. Divisible maps provide important generalization of Markovian semigroups. Usually one analyzes either completely positive or just positive divisibility meaning that the corresponding propagators are defined in terms of completely positive or positive maps, respectively. For maps which are invertible at any moment of time the very existence of propagator is already guaranteed and hence the only issue is (complete) positivity and trace-preservation. However, for maps which are not invertible the problem is much more involved since even the existence of a propagator is not guaranteed. In this paper we propose a simple method to construct propagators of dynamical maps using the concept of generalized inverse. We analyze both time-continuous and time-discrete maps. Since the generalized inverse is not uniquely defined the same applies for the corresponding propagator. In simple examples of qubit evolution we analyze it turns out that additional requirement of complete positivity possibly makes the propagator unique.

description: The UN/ESA Workshops on Basic Space Science is a long-term effort for the development of astronomy and regional and international co-operation in this field on a world wide basis, particularly in developing nations. The first four workshops in this series (India 1991, Costa Rica and Colombia 1992, Nigeria 1993, and Egypt 1994) addressed the status of astronomy in Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, and Western Asia, respectively. One major recommendation that emanated from the first four workshops was that small astronomical facilities should be established in developing nations for research and education programmes at the university level and that such facilities should be networked. Subsequently, material for teaching and observing programmes for small optical telescopes were developed or recommended and astronomical telescope facilities have been inaugurated at UN/ESA Workshops on Basic Space Science in Sri Lanka (1995), Honduras (1997), and Jordan (1999). UN/ESA Workshops on Basic Space Science in Germany (1996), France (2000), Mauritius (2001), Argentina (2002), and P.R. China (2004) emphasised the particular importance of astrophysical data systems and the virtual observatory concept for the development of astronomy on a world wide basis. Since 1996, the workshops are contributing to the development of the World Space Observatory concept. Achievements of the series of workshops are briefly summarised in this report.

description: Modular batteries can be aggregated to deliver frequency regulation services for power grids. Although utilizing the idle capacity of battery modules is financially attractive, it remains challenging to consider the heterogeneous module-level characteristics such as dynamic operational efficiencies and battery degradation. In addition, real-time decision making within seconds is required to enable fast frequency response. In order to address these issues, this paper proposes a performance-aware scheduling approach for battery modules to deliver fast frequency response (FFR) support. In particular, the conduction loss and switching loss of battery packs as well as converters are captured within a mix-integer quadratic constrained program (MIQCP). The cycle-based aging model identifies the aging cost of battery modules during frequent cycling by introducing the aging subgradient calculation and linearization. Case studies based on real-world battery data show that the proposed scheduling approach can effectively reduce power loss cost by nearly 28%-57% and battery aging cost by 4%-15% compared to conventional methods, which can also enhance the SoC balance.

Teaching, Testing, and Assessment in a Quantitative Reasoning Course: Taking Aim at a Missing/Moving Target
Creators: name: Neidert, Lisa
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2008

description: This paper explores some challenges in teaching a class that satisfies the quantitative reasoning requirement at a large research university. The presentation has concrete examples from the classroom setting. These illustrative examples are to provoke discussion, rather than to be additional entries into a statistical literacy toolbox. The main issues to be covered are (a) determining the appropriate mix for class content (subject matter vs quantitative exercises); (b) testing the students; and (c) assessing the course – what did the students learn? The University of Michigan has had a quantitative reasoning requirement for students in the College of Literature, Arts, and Sciences (LSA) for almost 15 years, but there is no LSA-wide oversight of these courses – thus the "missing target" in the title. The "moving target" in the title describes my changing perspectives on what a quantitative reasoning course should be and a way to deliver this product. The presentation will describe some of the changes in the course focus and end with issues of student testing and course assessment.
A Transfer Learning Approach to Cross-Modal Object Recognition: From Visual Observation to Robotic Haptic Exploration

description: In this work, we introduce the problem of cross-modal visuo-tactile object recognition with robotic active exploration. With this term, we mean that the robot observes a set of objects with visual perception and, later on, it is able to recognize such objects only with tactile exploration, without having touched any object before. Using a machine learning terminology, in our application we have a visual training set and a tactile test set, or vice versa. To tackle this problem, we propose an approach constituted by four steps: finding a visuo-tactile common representation, defining a suitable set of features, transferring the features across the domains, and classifying the objects. We show the results of our approach using a set of 15 objects, collecting 40 visual examples and five tactile examples for each object. The proposed approach achieves an accuracy of 94.7%, which is comparable with the accuracy of the monomodal case, i.e., when using visual data both as training set and test set. Moreover, it performs well compared to the human ability, which we have roughly estimated carrying out an experiment with ten participants.

description: AbstractMicroplastics (MPs) are environmental contaminants that are of increasing global concern. This study investigated the presence of MPs in four varieties of marine-derived commercial fish meal, followed by identification of their polymer composition using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Exposure experiments were conducted on cultured common carp (Cyprinus carpio) by feeding four varieties of commercially available fish meal to determine relationships between abundance and properties of MPs found both in meal and in those transferred to cultured common carp. Mean particle sizes were 452 ± 161 μm (± SD). Fragments were the predominant shape of MP found in fish meal (67%) and C. carpio gastrointestinal tract and gills (65%), and polypropylene and polystyrene were the most present plastic polymers found in fish meal (45% and 24%, respectively) and C. carpio (37% and 33%, respectively). Positive relationships were found between MP levels in fish meal and C. carpio. This study highlights that marine-derived fish meal may be a source of MPs which can be transferred to cultured fish, thus posing a concern for aquaculture.
