Schema Augmentation for Zero-Shot Domain Adaptation in Dialogue State Tracking

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Zero-shot domain adaptation for dialogue state tracking (DST) remains a challenging problem in task-oriented dialogue (TOD) systems, where models must generalize to target domains unseen at training time. Current large language model approaches for zero-shot domain adaptation rely on prompting to introduce knowledge pertaining to the target domains. However, their efficacy strongly depends on prompt engineering, as well as the zero-shot ability of the underlying language model. In this work, we devise a novel data augmentation approach, Schema Augmentation, that improves the zero-shot domain adaptation of language models through fine-tuning. Schema Augmentation is a simple but effective technique that enhances generalization by introducing variations of slot names within the schema provided in the prompt. Experiments on MultiWOZ and SpokenWOZ showed that the proposed approach resulted in a substantial improvement over the baseline, in some experiments achieving over a twofold accuracy gain over unseen domains while maintaining equal or superior performance over all domains.
A design of the multi-portal human interface considering user's line of sight and controlling stability

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this study, we propose a multi-portal human interface (M-HI) as an innovative human interface for power assist systems. The M-HI allows users to apply the operational force anywhere in the power assist system. Because of that, the workspace of the power assist system is extended with their end-effecter can be controlled as user think. We design the M-HI considering the user's line of sight. Because we researched the relation between user's operational force and user' s line of sight in terms of human vision. In this paper, We show that the M-HI considering user's line of sight enables PAS to control more stable
IntroductionThe Liberal-Humanitarian Case for War in Iraq

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This volume consists of chapters by leading world political figures, writers, scholars, and activists who supported the war on what might be broadly called liberal-humanitarian grounds; those who did not support the war offer some observations about the political response to it. The authors are united by a common recognition that, in spite of the inconsistent justifications provided by the United States and its allies and the conflict-ridden process of social reconstruction, the war can be seen as morally justifiable: Saddam Hussein was a brutal tyrant, a gross violator of human rights, a torturer, a mass murderer, a threat to world peace and to what John Rawls refers to as the Law of Peoples. The war can be seen as morally legitimate on grounds of basic human rights as embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which is the ethical basis for the international world order.
Identification of a Potential Gene for Elevating ω-3 Concentration and Its Efficiency for Improving the ω-6/ω-3 Ratio in Soybean

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

This present study was to identify a novel candidate gene that contributes to the elevated α-linolenic acid (ALA, ω-3) concentration in PE2166 from mutagenesis of Pungsannamul. Major loci qALA5_1 and qALA5_2 were detected on chromosome 5 of soybean through quantitative trait loci mapping analyses of recombinant inbred lines. With next-generation sequencing of parental lines and Pungsannamul and recombinant analyses, a potential gene, Glyma.05g221500 (HD), controlling elevated ALA concentration was identified. HD is a homeodomain-like transcriptional regulator that may regulate the expression level of microsomal ω-3 fatty acid desaturase (FAD3) genes responsible for the conversion of linoleic acid into ALA in the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway. In addition, we hypothesized that a combination of mutant alleles, HD, and either of microsomal delta-12 fatty acid desaturase 2-1 (FAD2-1) could reduce the ω-6/ω-3 ratio. In populations where HD, FAD2-1A, and FAD2-1B genes were segregated, a combination of a hd allele from PE2166 and either of the variant FAD2-1 alleles was sufficient to reduce the ω-6/ω-3 ratio in seeds.
Estimating attraction of Syrphidae (Diptera) to flowering plants with interception traps

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Syrphidae with predaceous larvae are important predators of aphids and other insects and can be attracted and maintained in agricultural environments by the addition of flowering plants. Malaise interception traps baited with moveable flowering plants are a novel means of surveying for attractive species and can have the advantages of: (1) homogenising experimental site and plant quality, (2) portability, (3) continuous sampling, (4) capacity to simultaneously capture a broad range of insects (including pests) and (5) no requirement for additional sensory cues to be effective. Six of the 10 species of plants tested were relatively attractive (number of syrphids captured in flower-traps/numbers captured in no plant controls). While flower-traps captured more syrphid species than their associated controls, there were no differences between flower-traps and controls in the sizes (head height) or proboscis lengths of the flies collected. There were no significant relationships between relative attractiveness and flower width or depth or with plant height and floral area. Similarly, mean proboscis length of flies taken in flower-baited traps was not correlated with flower width or depth. The absence of the latter relationship may be due to the inability of an interception trap to distinguish between attraction and attraction-then-feeding.

Atomic Layer Deposition with TiO2 for Enhanced Reactivity and Stability of Aromatic Hydrogenation Catalysts

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Hydrogenation of aromatic molecules in fossil- and bio-derived fuels is essential for decreasing emissions of harmful combustion products and addressing growing concerns around urban air pollution. In this work, we used atomic layer deposition to significantly enhance the hydrogenation performance of a conventional supported Pd catalyst by applying an ultrathin coating of TiO<sub>2</sub> in a scalable powder coating process. The TiO<sub>2</sub>-coated catalyst showed substantial gains in the conversion of multiple aromatic molecules, including a 5-fold improvement in turnover frequency versus the uncoated catalyst in the hydrogenation of naphthalene. This activity enhancement was maintained upon scaling the coating synthesis process from 3 to 100 g. Based on the results from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and computational modeling, the activity enhancement was attributed to ensemble effects resulting from partial TiO<sub>2</sub> coverage of the Pd surface rather than fundamental changes to the Pd electronic structure. Additional durability testing confirmed that the TiO<sub>2</sub> coating improved the thermal and hydrothermal stability of the catalyst as well as tolerance toward sulfur impurities in the reactant stream. Using an economic model of an industrial deep hydrogenation process, we found that an increase in catalyst activity or lifetime of 2x would justify even a relatively high estimate for the cost of TiO2 atomic layer deposition coatings at scale.

Razlicita su gledista o tome sto je to drustveno (ne)prihvatljivo ponasanje i koji su njegovi uzroci. Humanisticki pristup prevenciji drustveno neprihvatljivog ponasanja i strucnoj pomoci podrazumijeva uzimanje u obzir razvojnih procesa, bioloskih i genetickih osobina, kao i kulturalnih i drustvenih cimbenika koji utjecu na ponasanje individuuma. U nizu drustveno neprihvatljivih ponasanja posebno isticemo pojavu nasilja koje se događa nad djecom i među djecom u razlicitim socijalnim sredinama, u obitelji, skoli, na ulici, siroj okolini. Rezultati ispitivanja koje smo proveli na uzorku od 161 ucenika sestih i sedmih razreda cetiriju osnovnih skola upucuju na potrebu razvijanja programa prevencije nasilja. Osim rezultata koji upucuju na zakljucak o razlicitim oblicima nasilja među djecom u skoli, zaprepascuju podaci o uciteljevu nereagiranju u situacijama nasilja koje se događa među djecom. To je jedna od pojava na koju je nužno upozoriti kako bi se mijenjali neki neprimjereni postupci i stajalista odraslih o problemima djece. Jednu od mogucnosti vidimo i u sustavnim programima prevencije i educiranja ne samo djece vec i odraslih koji su s njima u svakodnevnom kontaktu. Polazeci sa stajalista suvremene pedagogije, u radu se, sukladno temeljnim ciljevima Povelje UN-a o zastiti i razvoju djece, predlažu neki sadržaji i metode programa prevencije nasilja među djecom. Navode se i argumenti prema kojima se, osim strucne utemeljenosti u radu na prevenciji nasilja, važnima pokazuje i socijalna osjetljivost za probleme djece.
FRNK Inhibition of Focal Adhesion Kinase–Dependent Signaling and Migration in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Objective— To examine whether interference with FRNK targeting to focal adhesions (FAs) affects its inhibitory activity and tyrosine phosphorylation. Methods and Results— Focal adhesion kinase and its autonomously expressed C-terminal inhibitor, focal adhesion kinase–related nonkinase (FRNK), regulate vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) signaling and migration. FRNK-paxillin binding was reduced by a point mutation in its FA targeting domain (L341S-FRNK). Green fluorescent protein–tagged wild type and L341S-FRNK were then adenovirally expressed in VSMCs. L341S-FRNK targeted to VSMC FAs, despite previous studies in other cell types. L341S-FRNK affected FA binding kinetics (assessed by total internal reflection fluorescnece [TIRF] microscopy and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching [FRAP]) and reduced its steady-state paxillin interaction (determined by coimmunoprecipitation). Both wt-FRNK and L341S-FRNK lowered basal and angiotensin II–stimulated focal adhesion kinase, paxillin, and extracellular signal–regulated kinase 1/2 phosphorylation. However, the degree of inhibition was significantly reduced by L341S-FRNK. L341S-FRNK also demonstrated significantly greater migratory activity compared with wt-FRNK–expressing VSMCs. Angiotensin II–induced Y168 phosphorylation was Src dependent, as evident by a significant reduction in Y168 phosphorylation by the Src family kinase inhibitor PP2 is 4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (PP2). Surprisingly, Y168 phosphorylation was unaffected by its targeting. Furthermore, Y232 phosphorylation increased approximately 3-fold in L341S-FRNK, which was less sensitive to PP2. Conclusion— FRNK inhibition of VSMC migration requires both FA targeting and Y168 phosphorylation by Src family kinases. FRNK-Y232 phosphorylation occurs outside of FAs, probably by a PP2-insensitive kinase.

BICYCLE HELMET USAGE RATES IN VICTORIA: 1990 - 1991 AND OTHER BICYCLE SAFETY FACTORS

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Legislation making it compulsory for all cyclists to wear an approved bicycle helmet while riding in public places came into effect in Victoria on 1 July 1990. This report documents changes in helmet usage by students cycling to school, adult commuter cyclists and recreational cyclists over the period March 1990 to March 1991. There are two parts. The first, based on large sample surveys conducted in March 1990 and March 1991, updates annual figures on helmet usage published previously (Wise, 1989), and provides data on the use of other bicycle safety factors, such as helmet fastening and conspicuity in 1991. The second part uses additional data from small sample surveys conducted in July and November 1990 to assess the more immediate effect of the legislation. The initial response to the legislation was an increase in helmet wearing in all places by all groups of cyclists. There was also an increase in helmet carrying rate. The number of cyclists observed was approximately 15% lower, possibly due to a combination of changes in community activity due to the recession plus people stopping riding due to the need to wear helmets. Trends in helmet wearing after July were positive except for cyclists at secondary school sites in Melbourne. Carrying rate was higher than wearing rate for females at these sites.
Adaptation of Biotrophic Leaf Pathogens to Fertilization-Mediated Changes in Plant Traits: A Comparison of the Optimization Principle to Invasion Fitness

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

One of the conclusions of evolutionary ecology applied to agroecosystem management is that sustainable disease management strategies must be adaptive to overcome the immense adaptive potential of crop pathogens. In this context, knowledge of how pathogens adapt to changes in cultural practices is necessary. In this article we address the issue of the evolutionary response of biotrophic crop pathogens to changes in fertilization practices. For this purpose, we compare predictions of latent period evolution based on three empirical fitness measures (seasonal spore production, within-season exponential growth rate, and area under disease progress curves [AUDPCs]) with predictions based on the concept of invasion fitness from adaptive dynamics. We use pairwise invisibility plots to identify the evolutionarily stable strategies (ESSs) of the pathogen latent period. We find that the ESS latent period is in between the latent periods that maximize the seasonal spore production and the within-season exponential growth rate of the pathogen. The latent periods that maximize the AUDPC are similar to those of the ESS latent periods. The AUDPC may therefore be a critical variable to determine the issue of between-strain competition and shape pathogen evolution.
Effects on Female Offspring and Mothers After Exposure to Diethylstilbestrol

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In 1971, a registry was established to obtain information regarding the epidemiological, clinical, and pathological aspects of clear cell adenocarcinoma diagnosed in women born after 1940. A large proportion of diethylstilbestrol (DES)-exposed females have ectopic glandular or mucinous epithelium on the vagina or cervix. The highest rate of adenosis has been in those patients who were exposed early in pregnancy. It appears that the larger the ingested dose and the earlier in pregnancy DES was initiated, the greater the risk for adenosis. Any women suspected of having been exposed to DES should be carefully screened with an effort made to document maternal medication history. Efforts to determine the effect of DES exposure on ovarian and menstrual functions, fertility, and future pregnancy outcome have yielded inconclusive results. Attention has also been focused on the possibility that mothers who took DES during pregnancy are at greater risk for breast carcinoma.
Building Social Welfare Through Social Security Based on The Socio-Economic Justice During COVID-19 Pandemic Crisis

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this paper is to examine and analyze based on the principles of social and economic justice on how to grow prosperity during a recession in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic as it is today through the strategy of providing social security to affected communities. By involving literature review or normative research methods along with a qualitative approach and legislation, this study found that the law on the security system stipulates that social security includes six forms of social security, including health security, work accident security, old-age security, pension security, death security, and job loss security. it's just that the problem is for those who do not pay dues or participate in the government's social security program. Their welfare must also be considered as mandated by the constitution of the 1945 Constitution. And in the principle of socio-economic justice, social security must be prioritized for the poor and underprivileged who are felt to be in more social need to achieve equity and social welfare

This dissertation mainly describes the wavefront stability of light source for the wavefront sensing systems. Several investigations on three different light sources, white light, laser diode and He-Ne laser have been carried out for two wavefront sensing systems, Hartmann and Shack-Hartmann systems. The experimental investigations are also conducted with variety of system settings such as sensing distances, different processing parameters and three different apertures. First aperture and second aperture are hole apertures for Hartmann system and third aperture is spatial light modulator lenslet array (SLM) for Digital Shack-Hartmann system.
Parallel implementation of Galerkin technique in large-scale electromagnetic problems

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

An integral equation formulation in conjunction with a parallelised Galerkin technique is employed to solve large-scale electromagnetic (EM) problems. The proposed technique is applicable to EM structures consisting of similar conducting or dielectric parts, defined as "elements". Coupled integral equations are derived in the frequency domain, written in terms of the conductivity currents or the electric fields developed on the conducting or dielectric "elements" surfaces, respectively. The system of integral equations is numerically solved via the parallel computed Galerkin technique, with convenient entire domain basis functions. Even for electrically large structures, the use of entire domain basis functions leads to relatively small order linear systems and the main computational cost refers to the matrix fill rather than the matrix solution. The parallelisation introduced to the computation of the matrix elements overcomes the limitation of using Method of Moments at lower and resonant frequencies. The inherent parallelism of the introduced technique allows for the results to be obtained with minimal additional to the sequential code programming effort. Two indicative electromagnetic compatibility applications are presented, concerning the coupling of incident waves with multiple conducting rectangular plates and the coupling phenomena occurring in a multi-element waveguide array looking into a layered lossy cylinder. Numerical results are presented, while the applicability/suitability of diverse High Performance Computing platforms is judged, based on both performance obtained and ease of code portation.
