Food Insecurity among Homeless Adults with Mental Illness
Venue: PloS one

The prevalence of food insecurity and food insufficiency is high among homeless people. We investigated the prevalence and correlates of food insecurity among a cohort of homeless adults with mental illness in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.  Data collected from baseline questionnaires in the Vancouver At Home study were analysed to calculate the prevalence of food insecurity within the sample (n 421) A modified version of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Adult Food Security Survey Module was used to ascertain food insecurity. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression were used to examine potential correlates of food insecurity.  The prevalence of food insecurity was 64% In the multivariable model, food insecurity was significantly associated with age (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.97; 95% CI: 0.95 0.99) less than high school completion (aOR 0.57; 95% CI: 0.35 0.93) needing health care but not receiving it (aOR 1.65; 95% CI: 1.00 2.72) subjective mental health (aOR 0.97; 95% CI: 0.96 0.99) having spent over $500 for drugs and alcohol in the past month (aOR 2.25; 95% CI: 1.16 4.36) HIV/AIDS (aOR 4.20; 95% CI: 1.36 12.96) heart disease (aOR 0.39; 95% CI: 0.16 0.97) and having gone to a drop in centre, community meal centre or program/food bank (aOR 1.65; 95% CI: 1.01 2.68)  The prevalence of food insecurity was extremely high in a cohort with longstanding homelessness and serious mental illness. Younger age, needing health care but not receiving it, poorer subjective mental health, having spent over $500 for drugs and alcohol in the past month, HIV/AIDS and having gone to a drop in centre, community meal centre or program/food bank each increased odds of food insecurity, while less than high school completion and heart disease each decreased odds of food insecurity. Interventions to reduce food insecurity in this population are urgently needed.
The global burden of dengue: an analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013.
Venue: The Lancet. Infectious diseases

Dengue is the most common arbovirus infection globally, but its burden is poorly quantified. We estimated dengue mortality, incidence, and burden for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013.  We modelled mortality from vital registration, verbal autopsy, and surveillance data using the Cause of Death Ensemble Modelling tool. We modelled incidence from officially reported cases, and adjusted our raw estimates for under reporting based on published estimates of expansion factors. In total, we had 1780 country years of mortality data from 130 countries, 1636 country years of dengue case reports from 76 countries, and expansion factor estimates for 14 countries.  We estimated an average of 9221 dengue deaths per year between 1990 and 2013, increasing from a low of 8277 (95% uncertainty estimate 5353 10 649) in 1992, to a peak of 11 302 (6790 13 722) in 2010. This yielded a total of 576 900 (330 000 701 200) years of life lost to premature mortality attributable to dengue in 2013. The incidence of dengue increased greatly between 1990 and 2013, with the number of cases more than doubling every decade, from 8*3 million (3*3 million 17*2 million) apparent cases in 1990, to 58*4 million (23*6 million 121*9 million) apparent cases in 2013. When accounting for disability from moderate and severe acute dengue, and post dengue chronic fatigue, 566 000 (186 000 1 415 000) years lived with disability were attributable to dengue in 2013. Considering fatal and non fatal outcomes together, dengue was responsible for 1*14 million (0*73 million 1*98 million) disability adjusted life years in 2013.  Although lower than other estimates, our results offer more evidence that the true symptomatic incidence of dengue probably falls within the commonly cited range of 50 million to 100 million cases per year. Our mortality estimates are lower than those presented elsewhere and should be considered in light of the totality of evidence suggesting that dengue mortality might, in fact, be substantially higher.
Human antibody responses after dengue virus infection are highly cross reactive to Zika virus
Venue: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

In this study, we address the issue of cross reactivity between dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) by testing sera and plasmablast derived monoclonal antibodies from dengue patients against ZIKV. We show that both acute and convalescent dengue sera potently bind and neutralize ZIKV and that this cross reactivity is also evident at the monoclonal level. We also demonstrate in vitro antibody dependent enhancement of ZIKV infection in the presence of dengue induced antibodies. Our findings strongly suggest that preexisting dengue antibodies may modulate immune responses to ZIKV infection. These data are timely and highly relevant from a public health standpoint given that a majority of regions currently experiencing Zika virus epidemics are endemic for dengue. Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging mosquito borne flavivirus of significant public health concern. ZIKV shares a high degree of sequence and structural homology compared with other flaviviruses, including dengue virus (DENV) resulting in immunological cross reactivity. Improving our current understanding of the extent and characteristics of this immunological cross reactivity is important, as ZIKV is presently circulating in areas that are highly endemic for dengue. To assess the magnitude and functional quality of cross reactive immune responses between these closely related viruses, we tested acute and convalescent sera from nine Thai patients with PCR confirmed DENV infection against ZIKV. All of the sera tested were cross reactive with ZIKV, both in binding and in neutralization. To deconstruct the observed serum cross reactivity in depth, we also characterized a panel of DENV specific plasmablast derived monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for activity against ZIKV. Nearly half of the 47 DENV reactive mAbs studied bound to both whole ZIKV virion and ZIKV lysate, of which a subset also neutralized ZIKV. In addition, both sera and mAbs from the dengue infected patients enhanced ZIKV infection of Fc gamma receptor (FcgR) bearing cells in vitro. Taken together, these findings suggest that preexisting immunity to DENV may impact protective immune responses against ZIKV. In addition, the extensive cross reactivity may have implications for ZIKV virulence and disease severity in DENV experienced populations.
Semantic Enrichment for Building Information Modeling
Venue: Comput. Aided Civ. Infrastructure Eng.

Significant difficulties remain in exchanging information between building information modeling BIM tools. The industry foundation classes IFC exchange schema is too generic to capture the full semantic meaning needed for direct use by different construction project stakeholders' BIM tools. Although BIM standards that prescribe model view definitions MVD for domain specific exchanges are under development, insufficient semantic definition of exchanges prevents achievement of the full potential of BIM through seamless interoperability. We propose an innovative approach for supplementing an IFC exchange file with semantically useful concepts inferred from the explicit and implicit information contained in the building model. A prototype software was implemented to test the applicability of the approach. It consists of a rule processing engine and allows composition of inference rule sets that can be tailored for different domains. The tests demonstrate semantic enrichment with precast concrete building models, adding inferred joint, slab aggregation and connection concepts.
Querying database using a universal natural language interface based on machine learning
Venue: 2016 International Conference on Information Technology for Organizations Development (IT4OD)

Extracting information from a database system becomes a primary obligation. More and more we are forced to recognize the importance of providing easy access to information stored in a database system. However existing tools that allow users to query database using database query languages such as SQL (Structured Query Language) are difficult for non experts users. Wherefore asking questions to databases in natural language is a very simple method that can provide powerful improvements to the use of data stored in databases. This paper presents the Architecture and the implementation of a generic natural language interface based on machine learning approach for a relational database. The advantage of this interface is that it functions independently of the database domain and automatically improves through experience its knowledge base.

Scheduler for Inhomogeneous and Irregular CGRAs with Support for Complex Control Flow
Venue: 2016 IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium Workshops (IPDPSW)

Coarse Grained Reconfigurable Arrays (CGRA) are more area and energy efficient compared to FPGAs, if we consider applications that are dominated by arithmetical operations. Enabling the user to employ CGRAs requires tools to create suitable CGRA instances and to program them on a high abstraction level. In this contribution we briefly explain a CGRA architecture generator and we focus on the scheduler that programs the generated CGRAs. This scheduler is able to work on in homogeneous (concerning the operations in the processing elements) and irregular (concerning the connections between processing elements) compositions. Additionally, the scheduler is able to map complex control flow onto the CGRA, which means nested loops, even containing control flow in the loop body. This significantly increases the mappability of application kernels.

End to end attention based large vocabulary speech recognition
Venue: 2016 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)

Many state of the art Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR) Systems are hybrids of neural networks and Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) Recently, more direct end to end methods have been investigated, in which neural architectures were trained to model sequences of characters  To our knowledge, all these approaches relied on Connectionist Temporal Classification  modules. We investigate an alternative method for sequence modelling based on an attention mechanism that allows a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to learn alignments between sequences of input frames and output labels. We show how this setup can be applied to LVCSR by integrating the decoding RNN with an n gram language model and by speeding up its operation by constraining selections made by the attention mechanism and by reducing the source sequence lengths by pooling information over time. Recognition accuracies similar to other HMM free RNN based approaches are reported for the Wall Street Journal corpus.
Evaluation of eight high spatial resolution gridded precipitation products in Adige Basin (Italy) at multiple temporal and spatial scales.
Venue: The Science of the total environment

This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of eight high spatial resolution gridded precipitation products in Adige Basin located in Italy within 45 47.1degN. The Adige Basin is characterized by a complex topography, and independent ground data are available from a network of 101 rain gauges during 2000 2010. The eight products include the Version 7 TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission) Multi satellite Precipitation Analysis 3B42 product, three products from CMORPH (the Climate Prediction Center MORPHing technique) i.e. CMORPH_RAW, CMORPH_CRT and CMORPH_BLD, PCDR (Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks Climate Data Record) PGF (Global Meteorological Forcing Dataset for land surface modelling developed by Princeton University) CHIRPS (Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data) and GSMaP_MVK (Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation project Moving Vector with Kalman filter product) All eight products are evaluated against interpolated rain gauge data at the common 0.25deg spatial resolution, and additional evaluations at native finer spatial resolution are conducted for CHIRPS (0.05deg) and GSMaP_MVK (0.10deg) Evaluation is performed at multiple temporal (daily, monthly and annual) and spatial scales (grid and watershed) Evaluation results show that in terms of overall statistical metrics the CHIRPS, TRMM and CMORPH_BLD comparably rank as the top three best performing products, while the PGF performs worst. All eight products underestimate and overestimate the occurrence frequency of daily precipitation for some intensity ranges. All products tend to show higher error in the winter months (December February) when precipitation is low. Very slight difference can be observed in the evaluation metrics and aspects between at the aggregated 0.25deg spatial resolution and at the native finer resolutions (0.05deg) for CHIRPS and (0.10deg) for GSMaP_MVK products. This study has implications for precipitation product development and the global view of the performance of various precipitation products, and provides valuable guidance when choosing alternative precipitation data for local community.
Talanoa Research Methodology: A Developing Position on Pacific Research

This paper contributes to the theorising on Pacific research approaches from a personal and Tongan perspective. At the same time, it suggests that the majority of the thinking and concepts discussed have similarities and common implications for most other Pacific communities in AotearoalNew Zealand. In the paper, I discuss the underpinnings of what constitutes 'normality' in relation to research approaches. In order to theorise an appropriate approach to researching Pacific educational and social issues in Aotearoa, I discuss the infiuence Pacific indigenous values have on the way New Zealand Pacific peoples see their worlds.
(Invited) High Output Power Deep Ultraviolet Light Emitting Diodes with Hemispherical Lenses Fabricated Using Room Temperature Bonding

We reviewed the structural and optical properties of high output power 255 and 280 nm light emitting diodes (LEDs) bonded with hemispherical lenses made of inorganic materials. This is described as a full paper (and not a review) Is this your intended meaning?[This is my intended] The optimal LED structure with a lens to improve the output power for deep ultraviolet LEDs was designed using Monte Carlo simulation. The LED chips were bonded to sapphire lenses at room temperature using either atomic diffusion bonding or surface activated bonding. The bonding of the lenses to the LEDs is experimentally shown to improve the light extraction efficiency, and the light output power of the LEDs with lenses was significantly higher than that of conventional structure LEDs. The output power of a 255 nm LED with a lens was 2.8 times larger than that without a lens, with a maximum external quantum efficiency of 4.56% and that of the 280 nm LED with a lens was larger by a factor of 2.3.
Astrosociology (Social Science of Space Exploration)
Venue: Handbook of Science and Technology Convergence

Discussions concerning science and technology convergence too often ignore the social sciences. This is not the case here, as the focus is on a relatively newly emerging and increasingly relevant social science field. Astrosociology is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary field that promotes and represents convergence of the physical/natural sciences and the social/behavioral sciences on all matters pertaining to humanity's interests and activities in space and the consequences of these activities for people on Earth. While political science and economics have sustained a strong interest in space, interest on the part of anthropology, sociology, and several fields of psychology has been low. Also, with the exception of selected space science research areas including astrobiology, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and the protection of the Earth from asteroids and comets, the receptivity of physical and natural scientists to inputs from the social and behavioral sciences has been low. Increasing synergy  University of California, Davis, CA, USA Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016 W.S. Bainbridge, M.C. Roco (eds. Handbook of Science and Technology Convergence,  between the "hard" and "soft" sciences requires increasing interest within both the social and behavioral sciences and encouraging receptivity on the part of physical sciences. This chapter emphasizes the need for convergence, the barriers to convergence, and potential approaches to reduce these barriers. Achievement of unprecedented levels of collaborative synergy is possible with increased levels of sustained convergences. This is possible by increasing social science literacy among the public and "hard scientists" and developing win win research projects that accommodate varied interests and goals. SETI, astrobiology, and planetary defense serve as specific examples of successful convergence efforts, though they involve social scientists in relatively small numbers. These examples demonstrate both the limited successes and the largely untapped potential of the social sciences to contribute to space education and research.
