Coreference resolution such as for anaphora has been an essential challenge that is commonly found in conversational machine reading comprehension (CMRC). This task aims to determine the referential entity to which a pronoun refers on the basis of contextual information. Existing approaches based on pre-trained language models (PLMs) mainly rely on an end-to-end method, which still has limitations in clarifying referential dependency. In this study, a novel graph-based approach is proposed to in

It is concluded that there are two types of diphthongs in Shigatse Dialect: True diphthongs and false diphthongs come from the reduction of syllables and the falling off of the stop ending, respectively; True diphthongs are long vowels and false diphthongs are short vowels; True diphthongs are paired with long keys, with


Students across disciplines in UK universities are demanding decolonisation of their education. These demands aim to resist the white European colonial endeavour that create racist inequalities. To address racial inequalities, the dental discipline has predominantly focused on diversity rather than decolonisation. By using two inter-related referents of decolonisation to dental caries and cosmetic dentistry, this article demonstrates the epistemic violence exerted through the objective hierarchi


Various political groups were involved in the 1979 Islamic Revolution of Iran, which led to the downfall of the Pahlavi regime. However, Islamic Fundamentalists gradually seized power and eliminated rival ideologies in the 1980s. In the late 1990s, Iranian Reformers won the elections and oversaw the management of the film industry for two four-year administrations until 2005. As liberals and religious democrats, the Reformers supported a modern portrayal of Iranian women in movies. The findings

A fundamental requirement for embryonic development is the coordination of signaling activities in space and time. A notable example in vertebrate embryos is found during somitogenesis, where gene expression oscillations linked to the segmentation clock are synchronized across cells in the presomitic mesoderm (PSM) and result in tissue-level wave patterns. To examine their onset during mouse embryo development, we studied the dynamics of the segmentation clock gene Lfng during gastrulation. To t

Furthermore, a meticulously designed intracellular metabolic pathway can activate or in


Mental fictionalism is not the benign view that we may better understand the mind if we think of mental states as something like useful fictions, but the more radical view that mental states just are useful fictions. This paper argues that, if one were to treat mental states as a kind of fiction, the genre of fiction best suited to this purpose would be fantasy make-believe, in which magic is a central feature. After defending a promising fictionalist account of mental discourse as a kind of pro


As described in this project, the California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo is in need of improving the campus’s sense of safety and safety features.

Abstract Thermogels, a class of hydrogels which show spontaneous sol‐gel phase transition when warmed, are an important class of soft biomaterials. To date, however, most amphiphilic polymers that are able to form thermogels in aqueous solution are uncharged, and the influence of ionisable groups on thermogelation are largely unknown. Herein, we report the first example of a polyanionic amphiphilic multi‐block copolymer, containing multiple pendant carboxylate groups, that can form transparent t


Hybrid retrievers can take advantage of both sparse and dense retrievers. Previous hybrid retrievers leverage indexing-heavy dense retrievers. In this work, we study "Is it possible to reduce the indexing memory of hybrid retrievers without sacrificing performance"? Driven by this question, we leverage an indexing-efficient dense retriever (i.e. DrBoost) and introduce a LITE retriever that further reduces the memory of DrBoost. LITE is jointly trained on contrastive learning and knowledge distil

Abstract Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) is associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by stimulating the proliferation, metastasis and drug resistance. The application of AFP fragments to inhibit the malignant behaviours induced by AFP is a new strategy for the treatment of HCC. In an effort to design, screen and discover drugs, we attempted to express different human AFP fragments (AFP 220–609 , AFP 390–609 and AFP 460–609 ) in a Bac‐to‐Bac system. We found that the AFP 390–609 fragment was highly

Comprehensive Summary Recently, molecular ferroelectrics have attracted more and more attention due to their structural diversity, low cost of manufacture, and environmental‐friendly processing. However, most of the design strategies for molecular ferroelectrics have focused on the selection and modification of cations, and the use of anions has been rarely reported. Here, introducing distorted [CuBr 4 ] 2– tetrahedra, we obtained a high curie temperature ( T c ) ferroelectric, [cyclopentylammon


The article presents selected issues related to material quality manufactured by selective laser sintering of AlSi10Mg alloy powder after milling. The workpiece was prepared and machined by down-milling and up-milling with tools made of high-speed steel. Breaches, pores and failure-like cracks on the machined surface were found, which negatively influenced the values of 3D surface roughness parameters. The occurring phenomena were analyzed and proposals for their explanation were made. The resul


Abstract Anthropologist Tim Ingold promotes Indigenous animism as a salve for perceived failures in modern science; failures he claims also hobbled his own early work. In fact, both Ingold’s early and later work rely on modern scientific ideas and images. His turn to animism marks not an exit from the history of European science, but an entrance into, and imaginative elaboration of, distinctly Neoplatonic themes within that history. This turn marks, too, a clear but unacknowledged departure from


Existing deep learning-based change detection methods try to elaborately design complicated neural networks with powerful feature representations, but ignore the universal domain shift induced by time-varying land cover changes, including luminance fluctuations and season changes between pre-event and post-event images, thereby producing sub-optimal results. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end Supervised Domain Adaptation framework for cross-domain Change Detection, namely SDACD, to effectiv


Abstract When partial discharge occurs in the power transformer, the arc can further develop on the oil-paper interface between high and low potentials, and then form a path, resulting in large-area flashover. This will lead to a wide range of insulation damage, insulation failure, equipment shutdown and even large-scale economic losses. For the insulation damage caused by surface discharge of oil paper insulation, relevant scientific research institutions have carried out a large number of expe


Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels have been shown to be related to carotid artery plaques.

<strong>Drought-induced vegetation declines have been reported across the globe and may have widespread implications for ecosystem composition, structure, and functions. Thus, it is critical to maximizing our understanding of how vegetation has responded to recent drought extremes. To date, most drought assessments have focused on the impact of a single drought event, emphasizing the importance of drought intensity for vegetation responses. However, drought timing, duration, and repeat exposure

Abstract Light-level geolocators have revolutionised the study of animal behaviour. However, lacking spatial precision, their usage has been primary targeted towards the analysis of large-scale movements. Recent technological developments have allowed the integration of magnetometers and accelerometers into geolocator tags in addition to barometers and thermometers, offering new behavioural insights. Here, we introduce an R toolbox for identifying behavioural patterns from multisensor geolocator

Abstract Several studies have investigated the effect of induced mood state on conceptual breadth (breadth and flexibility of thought). Early studies concluded that inducing a positive mood state broadened cognition, while inducing a negative mood state narrowed cognition. However, recent reports have suggested that valence and arousal can each influence conceptual breadth. Individual differences in affective dispositions may bias perceptions, thoughts, and behaviors and, in turn, may be biased


Abstract In an era of big data and fake news, museums’ collection practices are particularly important democratic cornerstones. Participatory technologies such as crowdsourcing or wikis have been put forward as a means to make museum collections more open and searchable, motivated by a desire for efficiency but also as a way to engage the public in the development of a more diverse and polyphonic heritage. However, there is a lack of a nuanced vocabulary to describe participatory technologies in

The retention of female officers in the U.S. Navy remains a problem despite a significant focus on diversity programs over the past 10 years. This study aims to identify critical support systems that enable successful female officers to continue their pursuit of a naval career as well as identify negative influences that may have persuaded them to choose an alternative path. In 2013, the Navy opened up all of its career paths to women but its retention numbers of female officers have dropped ove


Abstract Clustering is a common problem in machine learning. Multi-view data can better express the integrity of data because most of the data currently processed is single-view data. Therefore, the problem of clustering analysis of multi-view data has attracted a lot of attention, and how to improve the accuracy of clustering analysis of multi-view data has become a hot topic. We propose the regularized K-means (RKM) algorithm to deal with multi-view data, based on the K-means algorithm, add re

The practical application of nanomedicines for cancer therapy is generally hampered by their compromised tumor accumulation and transmembrane potency. Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) have been widely used to enhance the drug delivery efficiency in tumor cells. However, conventional CPPs are vulnerable towards proteases and are generally lack of therapeutic effects. To maximize the efficacy of nanomedicines, new classes of cell penetrating therapeutic modalities are highly desirable. Stapled pep


Video summarization for educational scenarios aims to extract and locate the most meaningful frames from the original video based on the main contents of the lecture video. Aiming at the defect of existing computer vision-based lecture video summarization methods that tend to target specific scenes, a summarization method based on content detection and tracking is proposed. Firstly, DBNet is introduced to detect the contents such as text and mathematical formulas in the static frames of these vi


In this work, we discuss the possibility of inertial sensing with positronium in the $2^3 S$ metastable state for the measurement of optical dipole, relativistic and gravitational forces on a purely leptonic matter-antimatter system. Starting from the characteristics of an available $2^3 S$ beam, we estimate the time necessary to measure accelerations ranging from $\sim10^5$ $m/s^2$ to 9.1 $m/s^2$ with two different inertial sensitive devices: a classical moiré deflectometer and a Mach-Zehnder i


Over the past decades, brain-computer interface (BCI) has gained a lot of attention in various fields ranging from medicine to entertainment, and electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are widely used in BCI. Brain-computer interface made human-computer interaction possible by using information acquired from EEG signals of the person. The raw EEG signals need to be processed to obtain valuable information which could be used for communication purposes. The objective of this paper is to identify the


This paper deals with some operational issues related to the so-called “portability of payment accounts” (art. 126-quinquies ff. legislative decree n. 385/1993). The first issue relates to the objective range of application of the provisions, which has recently been interpreted by the ABF in a formalistic and excessively restrictive way. The second issue concerns the meaning of the two expressions “account closure” and “transfer service”, which are used in the legislative decree n. 385/1993. Fin

Dramatic increases in climate data underlie a gradual paradigm shift in knowledge-acquisition methods from physical-based models to data-based mining techniques. k-Means is one of the most popular data clustering/mining techniques, and it has been used to detect hidden patterns in climate systems. k-Means is established based on distance metrics for pattern recognition, which is relatively ineffective when dealing with "structured" data that are dominant in climate science, that is, data in time


<p>It is widely believed that cellular senescence plays a critical role in both aging and cancer, and that senescence is a fundamental, permanent growth arrest that somatic cells cannot avoid. Here we show that Myc plays an important role in self-renewal of esophageal epithelial cells, contributing to their resistance to cellular senescence. Myc is homogeneously expressed in basal cells of the esophageal epithelium and Myc positively regulates their self-renewal by maintaining their undiff

Pedagogical approaches emanating from posthumanist and neomaterialist theoretical frameworks can potentially redefine what learning and teaching are. In this paper, I argue, however, that these discussions are marked by a distinct absence, having to do with the role of teachers and the nature of teaching itself. Attempting to make up for this lack, I discuss here posthumanism's and neomaterialism's critique of humanism – indeed, in connection to certain reconfigurations of agency as relationalit

Historically, wetlands have not been given much attention in terms of their value due to the general public being unaware. Nevertheless, wetlands are still threatened by many anthropogenic activities, in addition to ongoing climate change. With these recent developments, water level prediction of wetlands has become an important task in order to identify potential environmental damage and for the sustainable management of wetlands. Therefore, this study identified a reliable neural network model


Subsurface chemistry in heterogeneous catalysis plays an important role in tuning catalytic performance. Aiming to unravel the role of subsurface heteroatoms, C2H2 semihydrogenation on a series of Pd catalysts doped with subsurface heteroatom H, B, C, N, P, or S was fully investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations together with microkinetic modeling. The obtained results showed that catalytic performance toward C2H2 semihydrogenation


ABSTRACT There is a noticeable wage gap between men and women’s earnings. In 2018, women earned 81 percent of men’s earnings. The wage gap is attributed to two broad topics: women’s occupational preferences and employer discrimination against women. While these trends facilitate economic and social inequality, many women are complacent with the situation. This paper seeks to acknowledge the existing literature regarding the wage gap, analyze the reasons for the gap, examine the economic implicat


As reported by numerous World Health Organization studies, fall incidents are considered one of the leading causes of loss of autonomy, injuries, and even deaths, and this is not only among elderly people but also in other categories such as workers. Fall incidents also have a considerable impact on the budget allocated to the care of people suffering from the effects of falls. This work presents a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art fall detection technologies considering the most powerful


Cranial fasciitis (CF) is a rare, rapidly growing, benign fibroproliferative lesion of the skull in the pediatric population. It is characterized by benign mesenchymal proliferation of spindle cells arranged as short, intersecting loose fascicles within a fibromyxoid stroma, and mostly appears as a single mass. A surgical excision with clear surgical margins is definitively curative for CF. Up to date only two cases with multiple CF have been reported in the literature. In this report, we descri

Introduction<p>During speech comprehension, multiple sources of information are available to listeners, which are combined to guide the recognition process. Models of speech comprehension posit that when the acoustic speech signal is obscured, listeners rely more on information from other sources. However, these models take into account only word frequency information and local contexts (surrounding syllables), but not sentence-level information. To date, empirical studies investigating pr

We explore two types of behavioural strategies that individuals use to manage their social partners in response to undesirable behaviour. These strategies are rewarding/punishing behaviour (partner control), and selecting preferred social partners and avoiding the others (partner choice). Past work has shown that partner control and partner choice are functionally distinct but has not investigated whether people use different strategies to address different types of undesirable behaviour. In par


Despite the high number of investments for data-based models in the expansion of Industry 4.0, too little effort has been made to ensure the maintenance of those models. In a data-streaming environment, data-based models are subject to concept drifts. A concept drift is a change in data distribution which will, at some point, decrease the accuracy of the model. To address this problem, various frameworks are presented in the literature, but there is no optimal methodology for implementing them.


Following Italian Unification in 1861 saw the birth of the “Southern Question”, which in fact encompassed a number of questions, first and foremost, that of education. Indeed, the pervasive ignorance, as decried by scholars of Southern Italy, represented a clear obstacle to the social and cultural emancipation of the Mezzogiorno, making it necessary to seek the enactment of suitable laws that would ensure the universal provision of schooling, especially in those areas where illiteracy was highes

Background: Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (CR) serves as a core component of the management strategy for patients with heart failure (HF). CR is administered by multidisciplinary healthcare providers, but their perceptions toward delivering CR to HF patients, and the factors and barriers that might influence referral, have not been studied. This study aims to assess physicians’ perceptions toward delivering CR programs to HF patients and identify factors and barriers that might influence their


A commonly cited reason for the high abandonment rate of myoelectric prostheses is a lack of grip force sensory feedback. Researchers have attempted to restore grip force sensory feedback by stimulating the residual limb’s skin surface in response to the prosthetic hand’s measured grip force. Recent work has focused on restoring natural feedback to the missing digits directly through invasive surgical procedures. However, the functional benefit of utilizing somatotopically matching feedback has

This integration enables the augmentation of both color and multispectral images,


Abstract Neutralizing antibodies strongly correlate with protection for COVID-19 vaccines, but the corresponding memory B cells that form to protect against future infection are relatively understudied. Here we examine the effect of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection on the magnitude and phenotype of the memory B cell response to single dose Johnson and Johnson (Ad26.COV2.S) vaccination in South African health care workers. Participants were either naïve to SARS-CoV-2 or had been infected before vaccina


Introduction Wilms Tumor (WT), or nephroblastoma, is the most common pediatric kidney cancer. Most WTs display a “favorable” triphasic histology, in which the tumor is comprised of blastemal, stromal, and epithelial cell types. Blastemal predominance after neoadjuvant chemotherapy or diffuse anaplasia (“unfavorable” histology; 5-8%) portend a worse prognosis. Blastema likely provide the putative cancer stem cells (CSCs), which retain molecular and histologic features characteristic of nephron pr


At the present stage, the issue of import substitution is the main one for the functioning of the Russian economy. The 2022 sanctions have become many times larger than previous restrictions and have spread to various sectors of the economy. Under such conditions, the import of technologies and goods from Western countries has been significantly reduced, so it is necessary to expand parallel imports and create import-substituting industries in Russia itself. Previously, the EAEU was not the focu


By using a simple microwave combustion technique, copper-doped NiFe2O4 spinel nanoparticles were formed. The XRD patterns demonstrated that Cu doping into NiFe2O4 spinel resulted in the creation of α-Fe2O3 secondary phase in addition to the cubic structure that already existed. Using SEM, morphological investigations revealed irregular shapes and severely agglomerated different grain boundaries. In an optical analysis, it was discovered that the band gap narrowed as the Cu2+ doping percentage ra
