Small and large number discrimination in guppies
Venue: Animal Cognition
Year: 2011

Non verbal numerical behavior in human infants, human adults, and non human primates appears to be rooted in two distinct mechanisms: a precise system for tracking and comparing small numbers of items simultaneously (up to 3 or 4 items) and an approximate system for estimating numerical magnitude of a group of objects. The most striking evidence that these two mechanisms are distinct comes from the apparent inability of young human infants and non human primates to compare quantites across the small <3 or 4)/large >4) number boundary. We ask whether this distinction is present in lower animal species more distantly related to humans, guppies (Poecilia reticulata) We found that, like human infants and non human primates, fish succeed at comparisons between large numbers only (5 vs. 10) succeed at comparisons between small numbers only (3 vs. 4) but systematically fail at comparisons that closely span the small/large boundary (3 vs. 5) Furthermore, increasing the distance between the small and large number resulted in successful discriminations (3 vs. 6, 3 vs. 7, and 3 vs. 9) This pattern of successes and failures is similar to those observed in human infants and non human primates to suggest that the two systems are present and functionally distinct across a wide variety of animal species.

An Adaptive Social Network Aware Collaborative Filtering Algorithm for Improved Rating Prediction Accuracy
Venue: IEEE Access
Year: 2020

When information from traditional recommender systems is augmented with information about user relationships that social networks store, more successful recommendations can be produced. However, this information regarding user relationships may not always be available, since some users may not consent to the use of their social network information for recommendations or may not have social network accounts at all. Moreover, the rating data (categories and characteristics of products) may be unavailable for a recommender system. In this paper, we present an algorithm that can be applied in any social network aware recommender system that utilizes the users' ratings on items and users' social relations. The proposed algorithm addresses the issues of limited social network information or limited collaborative filtering information for some users by adapting its behavior, taking into account the density and utility of each user's social network and collaborative filtering neighborhoods. Through this adaptation, the proposed algorithm achieves considerable improvement in rating prediction accuracy. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm can be easily implemented in recommender systems.
malakoi and arsenokoitai: In Defence of Tertullian's Translation
Venue: New Testament Studies
Year: 2019

The debate over the translation of malakoi and arsenokoitai in 1 Cor 6.9 can and should be settled by a non polemical and complete survey of the material now that comprehensive databases of ancient texts are available. The translation of arsenokoitai by Tertullian, several Vetus Latina MSS and the Vulgate has the best evidential foundation. To establish the meaning of this term one has to turn to etymology and usage, a semantic domain of terms for sexual intercourse, and patristic and classical texts. Once the semantics of arsenokoites is better grounded, the ancient Latin translation of malakoi becomes the most probable.
A robust technique of fake news detection using Ensemble Voting Classifier and comparison with other classifiers
Year: 2020

These days online networking is generally utilized as the wellspring of data as a result of its ease, simple to get to nature. In any case, expending news from online life is a twofold edged sword as a result of the widespread of fake news, i.e. news with purposefully false data. Fake news is a major issue since it affects people just as society substantial. In the internet based life, the data is spread quick and subsequently discovery component ought to almost certainly foresee news quick enough to stop the dispersal of fake news. Consequently, identifying fake news via web based networking media is a critical and furthermore an in fact testing issue. In this paper, Ensemble Voting Classifier based, an intelligent detection system is proposed to deal with news classification both real and fake tasks. Here, eleven mostly well known machine learning algorithms like Naive Bayes, K NN, SVM, Random Forest, Artificial Neural Network, Logistic Regression, Gradient Boosting, Ada Boosting, etc. are used for detection. After cross validation, we used the best three machine learning algorithms in Ensemble Voting Classifier. The experimental outcomes affirm that the proposed framework can accomplish to about 94.5% outcomes as far as accuracy. The other parameters like ROC score, precision, recall and F1 are also outstanding. The proposed recognition framework can effectively find the most important highlights of the news. These can also be implemented in other classification techniques to detect fake profiles, fake message, etc.
CuSha: vertex centric graph processing on GPUs
Venue: HPDC '14
Year: 2014

Vertex centric graph processing is employed by many popular algorithms (e.g. PageRank) due to its simplicity and efficient use of asynchronous parallelism. The high compute power provided by SIMT architecture presents an opportunity for accelerating these algorithms using GPUs. Prior works of graph processing on a GPU employ Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) form for its space efficiency; however, CSR suffers from irregular memory accesses and GPU underutilization that limit its performance. In this paper, we present CuSha, a CUDA based graph processing framework that overcomes the above obstacle via use of two novel graph representations: G Shards and Concatenated Windows (CW) G Shards uses a concept recently introduced for non GPU systems that organizes a graph into autonomous sets of ordered edges called shards. CuSha's mapping of GPU hardware resources on to shards allows fully coalesced memory accesses. CW is a novel representation that enhances the use of shards to achieve higher GPU utilization for processing sparse graphs. Finally, CuSha fully utilizes the GPU power by processing multiple shards in parallel on GPU's streaming multiprocessors. For ease of programming, CuSha allows the user to define the vertex centric computation and plug it into its framework for parallel processing of large graphs. Our experiments show that CuSha provides significant speedups over the state of the art CSR based virtual warp centric method for processing graphs on GPUs.

The Phantom in the Mirror: A Modified Rubber Hand Illusion in Amputees and Normals
Venue: Perception
Year: 2010

The bodily boundaries in amputees may seem to be more malleable than in non amputees, given the propensity for a phantom limb to embody a mirror reflected hand. However, in the present investigation, in which phantom limb illusions within body space are induced and manipulated, we found that perceiving phantom sensations and illusory embodiment does not require amputation. Surprisingly, in the present modified rubber hand illusion, we found that simultaneous stroking or stimulation of the participant's target hand was not necessary to induce illusions of embodiment and corresponding perceptual illusions. We tested this upper limb paradigm in fourteen upper limb amputees and twenty six controls (including fourteen lower limb amputees) We propose a model for embodiment of a rubber or real hand passively observed in a mirror. In this model, passive observation of the hand in the mirror triggers body representations (body image and body schema) most likely through activation of the posterior parietal cortex and temporo parietal junction. Activity in these regions heightens awareness of peripersonal space and increases tactile sensitivity, and may subsequently enhance perception of illusory touch and embodiment. Furthermore, sense of embodiment may be more apparent to the participant when the hand is threatened; however, embodiment may even be strengthened when the motor system is engaged, evoking motor schemata to support the more easily induced perceptual embodiment via body image.
Impaired Fellow Eye Motion Perception and Abnormal Binocular Function
Venue: Investigative ophthalmology visual science
Year: 2019

Binocular discordance due to strabismus, anisometropia, or both may result in not only monocular visual acuity deficits, but also in motion perception deficits. We determined the prevalence of fellow eye deficits in motion defined form (MDF) perception, the ability to identify a two dimensional (2D) shape defined by motion rather than luminance contrast. We also examined the following: the causative role of reduced visual acuity and binocularity, associations with clinical and sensory factors, and effectiveness of binocular amblyopia treatment in alleviating deficits.  Participants included 91 children with residual amblyopia (strabismic, anisometropic, or both; age, 9.0 1.7 years) 79 nonamblyopic children with treated strabismus or anisometropia (age, 8.5 2.1 years) and 20 controls (age, 8.6 1.5 years) MDF coherence thresholds, visual acuity, stereoacuity, and interocular suppression were measured.  MDF deficits, relative to controls, were present in the fellow eye of 23% of children with residual amblyopia and 20% of nonamblyopic children. Stereoacuity and age first patched were correlated with MDF threshold (r 0.29, 95% CI: 0.09 0.47; r 0.33, 95% CI: 0.13 to 0.50, respectively) MDF deficits were more common in children treated with patching alone than in those receiving contrast rebalanced binocular treatment with games or movies (t89 3.46; P 0.0008) The latter was associated with a reduction in mean fellow eye MDF threshold (t26 6.32, P 0.0001) Conclusions Fellow eye MDF deficits are common and likely reflect abnormalities in binocular cortical mechanisms that result from early discordant visual experience. Binocular amblyopia treatment, which is effective in improving amblyopic eye visual acuity, appears to provide a benefit for the fellow eye.
Optimal Analysis of Target Dynamic Tracking Strategy Based on Computer Vision
Venue: 2019 3rd International Conference on Electronic Information Technology and Computer Engineering (EITCE)
Year: 2019

Computer vision is a highly intensive interdisciplinary subject which combines artificial intelligence and advanced algorithms, and its target tracking has become a hot research topic at present. At the operational level of target tracking, PF(Particle Filter) technology has its own technical advantages in processing image interpretation interference and target movement change. On the one hand, BPNN(Back Propagation Neural Network) technology is introduced to improve the diversity of particles and improve the accuracy of target information at the next moment so as to meet the dual requirements of dynamic intelligent capture and timeliness at the next moment of target tracking; on the other hand, PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization) technology is introduced to prevent particle degradation and quickly find the global optimal solution of particle information. The simulation results show that the method of using BPNN PSO to improve the particle filter algorithm, not only improves the accuracy of target tracking information, but also reduces the timeconsuming of target tracking.
Stomach cancer burden in Central and South America.
Venue: Cancer epidemiology
Year: 2016

Stomach cancer mortality rates in Central and South America (CSA) are among the highest in the world. We describe the current burden of stomach cancer in CSA.  We obtained regional and national level cancer incidence data from 48 population based registries (13 countries) and nation wide cancer deaths from WHO's mortality database (18 countries) We estimated world population age standardized incidence (ASR) and mortality (ASMR) rates per 100,000 and estimated annual percent change to describe time trends.  Stomach cancer was among the 5 most frequently diagnosed cancers and a leading cause of cancer mortality. Between CSA countries, incidence varied by 6 fold and mortality by 5 6 fold. Males had up to 3 times higher rates than females. From 2003 to 2007, the highest ASRs were in Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil and Peru (males: 19.2 29.1, females: 9.7 15.1) The highest ASMRs were in Chilean, Costa Rican, Colombian and Guatemalan males (17.4 24.6) and in Guatemalan, Ecuadorian and Peruvian females (10.5 17.1) From 1997 to 2008, incidence declined by 4% per year in Brazil, Chile and Costa Rica; mortality declined by 3 4% in Costa Rica and Chile. 60 96% of all the cancer cases were unspecified in relation to gastric sub site but, among those specified, non cardia cancers occurred 2 13 times more frequently than cardia cancers.  The variation in rates may reflect differences in the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection and other risk factors. High mortality may additionally reflect deficiencies in healthcare access. The high proportion of unspecified cases calls for improving cancer registration processes.

Protocol for a feasibility study and randomised pilot trial of a low intensity psychological intervention for depression in adults with autism: the Autism Depression Trial (ADEPT)
Venue: BMJ Open
Year: 2017

High rates of co occurring depression are reported in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by social communication impairments and repetitive behaviours. Cognitive behavioural interventions adapted for ASD have been effective for anxiety problems. There have been evaluation studies of group cognitive behavioural therapy for co occurring depression, but no randomised trials investigating low intensity psychological interventions as recommended in clinical guidelines for mild moderate depression.  A feasibility study comprising a randomised controlled trial (RCT) and nested qualitative evaluation is under way as preparation for a definitive RCT. Participants (n=70) will be randomised to Guided Self Help: a low intensity psychological intervention based on behavioural activation adapted for ASD or treatment as usual. Outcomes including depression symptoms, anxiety, social function and service use will be measured at 10, 16 and 24 weeks postrandomisation and will be blind to group allocation for measures that are not self administered. The analysis will aim to establish the rates of recruitment and retention for a larger scale RCT as well as the most appropriate measure of depression to serve as primary outcome. The qualitative study will purposively sample up to 24 participants from each treatment group to consider the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention and the trial design. Ethics and dissemination Ethical approval has been received from WALES REC 3 (IRAS project ID: 191558) and the Health Research Authority with R&D approval from Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership and Northumberland, Tyne and Wear Foundation NHS Trusts. To our knowledge, this is the first study of a low intensity intervention for depression in adults with autism. The results will inform the design of a definitive RCT. Dissemination will include peer reviewed journal publications reporting the quantitative and qualitative research findings of the study and presentations at national and international conferences.
Short trading cycles: Paired kidney exchange with strict ordinal preferences
Venue: Math. Soc. Sci.
Year: 2020

I study kidney exchange with strict ordinal preferences and with constraints on the lengths of the exchange cycles. Efficient deterministic mechanisms have poor fairness properties in this environment. Instead, I propose an individually rational, ordinally efficient and anonymous random mechanism for two way kidney exchange based on Bogomolnaia and Moulin's (2001) Probabilistic Serial mechanism. Individual rationality incentivizes patient donor pairs who are compatible with each other to participate in the exchange, thus increasing the overall transplantation rate. Finally, individual rationality, ex post efficiency and weak strategyproofness are incompatible for any mechanism.
Horizontal Shear Transfer for Full Depth Precast Concrete Bridge Deck Panels
Year: 2006

Full depth precast deck panels are a promising alternative to the conventional cast in place concrete deck. They afford reduced construction time and fewer burdens on the motoring public. In order to provide designers guidance on the design of full depth precast slab systems with their full composite strength, the horizontal shear resistance provided at the slab to beam interface must be quantified through further investigation. Currently, all design equations, both in the AASHTO Specifications and the ACI code, are based upon research for cast in place slabs. The introduction of a grouted interface between the slab and beam can result in different shear resistances than those predicted by current equations. A total of 29 push off tests were performed to quantify peak and post peak shear stresses at the failure interface. The different series of tests investigated the surface treatment of the bottom of the slab, the type and amount of shear connector and a viable alternative pocket detail. Based on the research performed changes to the principles of the shear friction theory as presented in the AASHTO LRFD specifications are proposed. The proposal is to break the current equation into two equation that separate coulomb friction and cohesion. Along with these changes, values for the coefficient of friction and cohesion for the precast deck panel system are proposed.

Vehicle collision with bridge piers: A state of the art review
Year: 2020

Although the probability of vehicle collision with bridge piers is relatively low, it may cause the pier to fracture and even the entire bridge to collapse, resulting in casualties and huge economic losses. Therefore, bridge piers should be properly designed against vehicle collision. This paper aims to make a state of the art review of the research on vehicle collision with bridge piers, to summarize the achievements and current limitations in this field, and to give some suggestions for future research. It is organized within a framework of performance based design, which is divided into four types of problems, that is, hazard analysis, structural analysis, damage analysis, and loss analysis. Studies show that reinforced concrete (RC) piers under vehicle impact generally exhibit three damage modes, that is, local damage, shear damage, and flexural damage. When a large truck hits a pier, the engine and container (cargo) may contribute to a two stage impact characteristic, which has a great influence on the response and damage of the pier. The vehicular impact (force) models and nonlinear response models of RC members under impact loads have been developed respectively, which can be combined to quickly analyze the nonlinear response of RC piers under vehicle impact. Deformation based methods should be developed to quantify the damage level of RC piers under different damage modes. Current codes still mainly adopt the equivalent static force design method, but some provisions regarding probabilistic (reliability) analysis have appeared. More attention should be paid to the statistical analysis of roadside crashes and vehicle related parameters in order to obtain a more realistic probabilistic analysis model, and further establish a performance based design method for RC piers subjected to vehicle collision.
