Multi task Transformation Learning for Robust Out of Distribution Detection
Venue: ArXiv
Year: 2021

Detecting out of distribution (OOD) samples plays a key role in open world and safety critical applications such as autonomous systems and healthcare. Selfsupervised representation learning techniques (e.g. contrastive learning and pretext learning) are well suited for learning representation that can identify OOD samples. In this paper, we propose a simple framework that leverages multi task transformation learning for training effective representation for OOD detection which outperforms state of the art OOD detection performance and robustness on several image datasets. We empirically observe that the OOD performance depends on the choice of data transformations which itself depends on the in domain training set. To address this problem, we propose a simple mechanism for selecting the transformations automatically and modulate their effect on representation learning without requiring any OOD training samples. We characterize the criteria for a desirable OOD detector for real world applications and demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed technique against a diverse range of the state of the art OOD detection techniques.
Critical social work with unaccompanied asylum seeking young people: Restoring hope, agency and meaning for the client and worker
Year: 2017

This article presents a model of Australian social work with unaccompanied asylum seeking young people which aims to build hope, agency and meaning for the social worker and the young person. Informed by Foucault's understanding of resistance, the model encourages social workers to pay attention to little practices of freedom through the development of professional relationships which address counselling needs, practical advocacy and social change within complex socio political, cultural and therapeutic contexts. A case vignette of 'Ali' applies the model in practice. The article concludes with an exploration of the model's potential for international transferability.
Phase Difference Measurement of the Target Signals of Sensing Elements in the Push Pull Fiber Optic Interferometric Acoustic and Vibration Sensors
Venue: 2019 IEEE International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Photonics (EExPolytech)
Year: 2019

In this paper we consider a fiber optic interferometric push pull sensor containing 4 spirals of a single mode optical fiber. Experimental determination of the phase difference of the target acoustic and vibrational signals is performed independently for each of the spirals. The sensor was placed into acoustic chamber, each of the sensor sensitive elements was connected to the interrogation system in an optical time domain multiplexing (TDM) scheme, and the phase difference of the target signals between 4 sensitive elements was determined. Additionally, similar measurements were performed when connecting the sensor to a vibrating test bench. The experimental results turned out to be close to theoretical values; under the influence of the target acoustic signal, the external and internal plates had counter phase signals.
Saliency based control in random feature networks
Venue: 53rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control
Year: 2014

The ability to rapidly focus attention and react to salient environmental features enables animals to move agilely through their habitats. To replicate this kind of high performance control of movement in synthetic systems, we propose a new approach to feedback control that bases control actions on randomly perceived features. Connections will be made with recent work incorporating communication protocols into networked control systems. The concepts of random channel controllability and random channel observability for LTI control systems are introduced and studied.

State of the art for CAR T cell therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 2019
Venue: Journal of Immunotherapy for Cancer
Year: 2019

Experience in the use of CAR T cells to treat CLL is limited, but safety and efficacy data are encouraging, suggesting that it may be possible to use CAR T cells in populations of CLL patients with particularly unfavorable prognoses. Mechanisms intrinsic to the pathophysiology of CLL undoubtedly explain the efficacy reported based on limited data for the first few series, and underlie the rationale of successive modulations in lymphodepletion schemes, transgene constructs, and, finally, the therapeutic association of CAR T cells with ibrutinib, which appears to be particularly promising. This review describes the published results and expected developments.

Year: 2018

Neste estudo, que filia se teoricamente a Analise de Discurso (AD) de linha pecheuxtiana, analisamos o funcionamento de efeitos de memoria em um corpus formado de duas pecas publicitarias da campanha "Mulheres que Brilham" da BomBril. Conforme Pecheux (1983) a leitura vem restabelecer os implicitos e pre construidos inscritos na memoria. Courtine (2009) tambem defende que o efeito de memoria e constituido na atualizacao de uma dada formulacao na relacao com o ja dito. Assim, ao aludir o cabelo afrodescendente a la de aco, constata se a reminiscencia do discurso preconceituoso e racista de cor, ja cristalizado na memoria, instituindo relacoes parafrasticas de sentidos.
Predicting Community Evolution in Social Networks
Venue: Entropy
Year: 2015

Nowadays, sustained development of different social media can be observed worldwide. One of the relevant research domains intensively explored recently is analysis of social communities existing in social media as well as prediction of their future evolution taking into account collected historical evolution chains. These evolution chains proposed in the paper contain group states in the previous time frames and its historical transitions that were identified using one out of two methods: Stable Group Changes Identification (SGCI) and Group Evolution Discovery (GED) Based on the observed evolution chains of various length, structural network features are extracted, validated and selected as well as used to learn classification models. The experimental studies were performed on three real datasets with different profile: DBLP, Facebook and Polish blogosphere. The process of group prediction was analysed with respect to different classifiers as well as various descriptive feature sets extracted from evolution chains of different length. The results revealed that, in general, the longer evolution chains the better predictive abilities of the classification models. However, chains of length 3 to 7 enabled the GED based method to almost reach its maximum possible prediction quality. For SGCI, this value was at the level of 3 5 last periods.
CUSTOMER PERCEPTION OF GUERILLA MARKETING
Year: 2017

Marketing is a company activity undertaken to familiarize customers with its products or services. Companies are trying to attract new and retain existing customers, but competition in the market is rather large, and therefore they undertake different marketing activities which make them stand out and attract the attention of consumers. There are various definitions of marketing.  2013) defines marketing as follows: "Marketing is the activity, a set of institutions and the process of creation, communication, delivery and exchange of offers that have value for customers, clients, partners and society as a whole. Kotler et al. (2014, 5) state that marketing deals with recognition, as well as with satisfaction of human and social needs. It represents a "profitable needs satisfaction." Furthermore, the authors believe that it is necessary to distinguish managerial and social definition of marketing, stating that marketing management is "art and science of choosing target markets as well as acquiring, retention and increasing the number of consumers by creating and delivering a superior value to customer and sending a message about it" while social definition is: "Marketing is the social process by which individuals and groups obtain what they need and want by creating, offering and free exchange of valuable products and services with others."
Phonological Ambiguity Modulates Resolution of Semantic Ambiguity During Reading: An fMRI Study of Hebrew
Venue: Neuropsychology
Year: 2017

The current fMRI study examined the role of phonology in the extraction of meaning from print in each hemisphere by comparing homophonic and heterophonic homographs (ambiguous words in which both meanings have the same or different sounds respectively, e.g. bank or tear) The analysis distinguished between the first phase, in which participants read ambiguous words without context, and the second phase in which the context resolves the ambiguity.  Native Hebrew readers were scanned during semantic relatedness judgments on pairs of words in which the first word was either a homophone or a heterophone and the second word was related to its dominant or subordinate meaning.  In Phase 1 there was greater activation for heterophones in left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) pars opercularis, and more activation for homophones in bilateral IFG pars orbitalis, suggesting that resolution of the conflict at the phonological level has abolished the semantic ambiguity for heterophones. Reduced activation for all ambiguous words in temporo parietal regions suggests that although ambiguity enhances controlled lexical selection processes in frontal regions it reduces reliance on bottom up mapping processes. After presentation of the context, a larger difference between the dominant and subordinate meaning was found for heterophones in all reading related regions, suggesting a greater engagement for heterophones with the dominant meaning.  Altogether these results are consistent with the prominent role of phonological processing in visual word recognition. Finally, despite differences in hemispheric asymmetry between homophones and heterophones, ambiguity resolution, even toward the subordinate meaning, is largely left lateralized.
Experimental and Finite Element Analysis of Precast Reinforced Concrete U Shaped Box Culvert
Year: 2020

This paper presents the experimental and finite element analysis of parametric research of precast reinforced concrete U shaped box culvert subject to loading conditions at the roof and both sidewalls of the culvert through beam support steel bar. This culvert was investigated based on two ways. Firstly, the experiment was tested with seventeen different trial load tests with four controlling load trials. The variables in the test including the deflection and crack width were presented and interpreted. The test specimen result showed similar crack patterns with respect to the initiation and propagation as well as the load deflection plot. Generally, the initial superficial flexural cracks occurred on the roof, floor slab, and sidewalls directly. Flexural cracks continued to occur in these places throughout the testing. This paper proposes a series of crack sensors in contact with the culvert to completely meet the requirements of the culverts, and their carrying capacity due to sensing performance. Secondly, the finite element method was used to analyze the structural behaviors and crack strains of the standard three dimensional U shaped box culverts under different loading conditions using brick elements in ABAQUS V6.14 4 software. The culvert was modeled using three dimensional solid elements for concrete and wire elements for reinforcement being geometric and material linearity besides the reinforcement was modeled as rebar elements embedded in the surface elements. Finally, the typical load deflection plots obtained from the experiments are compared with those obtained from finite element modeling analyses and the effects of with and without distribution reinforcement on the culvert are insignificant.
Moral Disengagement and the Motivational Gap in Climate Change
Venue: Ethical Theory and Moral Practice
Year: 2019

Although climate change jeopardizes the fundamental human rights of current as well as future people, current actions and ambitions to tackle it are inadequate. There are two prominent explanations for this motivational gap in the climate ethics literature. The first maintains that our conventional moral judgement system is not well equipped to identify a complex problem such as climate change as an important moral problem. The second explanation refers to people's reluctance to change their behaviour and the temptation to shirk responsibility. We argue that both factors are at play in the motivational gap and that they are complemented by crucial moral psychological insights regarding moral disengagement, which enables emitters to dissociate self condemnation from harmful conduct. In this way, emitters are able to maintain their profligate, consumptive lifestyle, even though this conflicts with their moral standards with respect to climate change. We provide some illustrations of how strategies of moral disengagement are deployed in climate change and discuss the relationship between the explanations for the motivational gap and moral disengagement. On the basis of this explanatory framework, we submit that there are three pathways to tackle the motivational gap and moral disengagement in climate change: making climate change more salient to emitters and affirming their self efficacy; reconsidering the self interested motives that necessitate moral disengagement; and tackling moral disengagement directly.
For a few dollars more: Towards a translocal mobilities of labour activism in Cambodia
Year: 2018

This paper uses the context of Cambodia's 2013/14 and 2015 minimum wage campaigns to demonstrate the translocally rural urban nature of worker agency and activism within global production networks. In doing so, it first highlights the gendered and hierarchical nature of the Cambodian union movement, emphasising in particular the disjuncture between its thriving, inter occupational grassroots support and the male dominated, top down hierarchies of the union leadership. Secondly, the authors present primary informant testimonies and quantitative figures produced from 13 years of secondary strike data to highlight the key role of agricultural pressures in motivating strike participation. This translocal perspective on protest is used, finally, to demonstrate how certain features of the Cambodian union movement hierarchy, male predominance and structural disjuncture are rooted not in abstract norms, but in the everyday mobilities of translocally rura urban livelihoods, which have rendered grassroots activism largely independent of the structures that represent it.
Reduced complexity window decoding of spatially coupled LDPC codes for magnetic recording systems.
Venue: 2018 IEEE International Magnetic Conference (INTERMAG)
Year: 2018

In channel coding theory, the performance of error correcting codes (ECCs) approaching the Shannon limit can be achieved through increasing code lengths. Unfortunately, the complexity of ECCs will be increased as the code length increases. Nowadays, the magnetic recording (MR) system takes advantage of powerful ECCs by using 4 Kbytes sector. Among the advanced ECCs, the spatially coupled LDPC (SC LDPC) codes (also known as a LDPC convolutional code) [1]are shown to have the decoding latency and complexity lower than those of the underlying LDPC block codes (LDPC BC) Moreover, the SC LDPC codes with threshold decoding outperform the LDPC BC codes  Hence, the SC LDPC codes are the strong candidate for the future MR systems, when the sector size is increased beyond 4 Kbytes. An SC LDPC decoder can use sliding window decoding [3]whereby the received signals are decoded by sliding window along the bit sequence. The window decoder is called "uniform window decoding (U WD)" when all variable nodes (VNs) within a window are updated. In order to reduce the complexity of window decoding, some researchers proposed the non uniform window decoding (N WD)  which do not update the VNs with no improvement in the bit error rate (BER) This approach provides about 35 50% reduction in complexity compared to U WD. In this work, we consider the application of SC LDPC codes in MR systems, whereby SC LDPC decoder cooperates with BCJR detector to encounter inter symbol interference (ISI) We propose the dynamic shifting of window decoding (DS WD) to reduce the complexity of SC LDPC codes. Herein, the number of shifted bits is defined according to their soft BERs which are estimated at each decoding position. In addition, we modify the N WD [4]to reinforce our proposed algorithm called "dynamic shifting non uniform window decoding (DS N WD)" The DS WD and DS N WD achieve the complexity reduction of 7% and 25% without any loss in performance compared to the N WD algorithms.
Study of the ablation of a carbon/carbon composite at ~25 MW/m2 with a nitrogen plasma torch
Year: 2020

Ablation of carbon/carbon (C/C) composites was investigated in a nitrogen plasma torch with a heat flux of ~25 MW/m2. The reaction products of carbon in C/C composites and nitrogen plasma jet were calculated based on the principle of free energy minimum. The calculated results show that the thermal chemical ablation and sublimation of carbon occur and Cn(g) (n 1 3) CN(g) C2N(g) and C2N2(g) may be the major reaction products consuming carbon. Ablation is apt to begin at the interfaces, especially the fibre matrix interface and interfaces inside the matrix. Ablation of C/C composites is mainly controlled by the thermal chemical ablation, sublimation of carbon, and mechanical breakage. The formation of needle shaped fibres and shell shaped matrices is attributed to both the thermal chemical ablation and sublimation of carbon, while carbon fragments and fractured fibres or matrices result from the mechanical breakage.
A Case of Autoenucleation Associated with a Contralateral Field Defect
Venue: Orbit
Year: 2011

To report a case of autoenucleation associated with contralateral field defect.  Observational case report.  A 36 year old man was referred to the emergency ward with his right eye attached to a fork. His history revealed drug abuse with ecstasy.  Visual field examination revealed a temporal hemianopia on the left eye. There was no change in the visual field defect after intravenous steroid, two months after initial presentation.  Contralateral visual field defect may be associated with autoenucleation. A visual field test is recommended in all cases with traumatic enucleation.
Global and Local Tensor Factorization for Multi criteria Recommender System
Venue: Patterns
Year: 2020

In multi criteria recommender systems, matrix factorization characterizes users and items via latent factor vectors inferred from user item rating patterns. However, two dimensional matrix factorization models may not be able to cope with the recommendation problem that involves additional criterion specific rating data. This study introduces a tensor factorization method to handle three dimensional user item criterion rating data. Moreover, we observe that using single global tensor factorization alone may not be sufficient to characterize diverse preferences among different groups of users, and a combined global and local tensor factorization method (GLTF) for multi criteria recommendation is thus proposed. One key benefit of the GLTF is that it can leverage global user item criterion rating patterns while also exploiting local user subset specific rating behaviors to jointly infer the latent factor representations for users, items, and specific item criteria. Experimental results, which used real life data available to the public, demonstrated that the GLTF is superior to well established baseline methods.
Addressing Environmental Protection in the United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA)
Year: 2020

Canada, Mexico and the United States, at the insistence of the Trump Administration, agreed to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) reflecting the U.S. objectives of reducing the substantial U.S. trade deficit with Mexico, discouraging future U.S. source investment in Mexico and thereby encouraging manufacturing employment in the United States. These negotiations resulted in a revised agreement the United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA) that was signed by the three Parties on November 30, 2018 and again in revised form December 10, 2019 that is likely to enter into force mid 2020. In the process, while Mexico and Canada made significant concessions, the United States was required to compromise on its initial demands on such issues as automotive rules of origin, government procurement, dispute settlement and a Sunset clause, among others. One major benefit of the renegotiation was the agreement by the Parties on a relatively robust chapter addressing environmental protection (Chapter 24) a major improvement over NAFTA's side agreement, the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC) USMCA's environmental chapter incorporates many of the features of the Transpacific Partnership (from which the Trump Administration withdrew in January 2017) including making environmental disputes subject to the same dispute settlement mechanism as trade disputes. Moreover, the USMCA environmental chapter and related agreements incorporates some of the best features of the NAAEC as well as the innovations of TPP to create a new high standard of environmental protection for regional trade agreements.
