Abstract:

Recent efforts applying machine learning techniques to query optimization have shown few practical gains due to substantive training overhead, inability to adapt to changes, and poor tail performance. Motivated by these difficulties, we introduce Bao (the Bandit optimizer). Bao takes advantage of the wisdom built into existing query optimizers by providing per-query optimization hints. Bao combines modern tree convolutional neural networks with Thompson sampling, a well-studied reinforcement learning algorithm. As a result, Bao automatically learns from its mistakes and adapts to changes in query workloads, data, and schema. Experimentally, we demonstrate that Bao can quickly learn strategies that improve end-to-end query execution performance, including tail latency, for several workloads containing longrunning queries. In cloud environments, we show that Bao can offer both reduced costs and better performance compared with a commercial system.

Abstract:

Abstract Using artificial emotions helps in making human-robot interaction more personalised, natural, and so more likeable. In the case of humanoid robots with constrained facial expression, the literature concentrates on the expression of emotions by using other nonverbal interaction channels. When using multi-modal communication, indeed, it is important to understand the effect of the combination of such non-verbal cues, while the majority of the works addressed only the role of single channels in the human recognition performance. Here, we present an attempt to analyse the effect of the combination of different animations expressing the same emotion or different ones. Results show that when an emotion is successfully expressed using a single channel, the combination of this channel with other animations, that may have lower recognition rates, appears to be less communicative.

Abstract:

This study analyzes people’s bag usage before and after the introduction of the tougher 2021 plastics ban policies by counting the number of charged carrier bags, inner bags, old plastic bags, and reusable bags used by consumers at the exits of the investigated supermarkets in Shanghai, China. The results indicate positive effects of the tougher 2021 measures by observing significantly decreased usage of charged carrier bags by 46%, and significantly increased usage of old plastic bags and reusable bags by 117% and 36%, respectively. Policy execution loopholes are found in some supermarkets which do not follow the tougher plastics ban measures. Fortunately, the spill-over effects from tougher-measure-executing supermarkets fix this issue to some extent. Additionally, the tougher 2021 measures fail to be the most powerful impacting factor on people’s usage of each type of bag. To produce better plastics reducing results, other bag-targeted measures are necessary.

Abstract:

The influences of perceived odor qualities on the retention of olfactory information across the adult lifespan were examined. Young (19–36 years), young-old (60–74 years), and old (75–91 years) adults (n = 202) rated a set of unfamiliar odors across a series of perceptual dimensions (i.e., pleasantness, intensity, and irritability) at encoding. The overall results indicated that memory for unpleasant olfactory information was better than that for pleasant odors across the lifespan. Also, participants showed better retention for odors perceived with high intensity and irritability than for odors rated with low or medium scores. Interestingly, the old adults showed selective beneficial memory effects for odors rated as highly irritable. To the extent that perceptions of high irritability reflect an activation of the trigeminal sensory system, this finding suggests that older adults may use trigeminal components in odor information to compensate for age-related impairments in olfactory memory.

Abstract:

AimsThe aim of this audit is to assess communication between the general and psychiatric hospital. This audit was prompted after a number of patients were transferred to Udston Hospital, a community hospital with two older adult acute mental health wards, with no written communication. This led to several significant issues including medication errors, ambiguity regarding patient escalation plans and uncertainty regarding what had been discussed with families.MethodOver the course of one month eight patients were identified who had been transferred from the acute site to Udston Hospital. Three were new admissions to Udston, four were returning after treatment for physical illness, and one returned following assessment in ED. Data were collected by examining paper and electronic notes, and analysed using Excel. The results of this audit were discussed at the local clinical governance meeting. A 2nd cycle was performed. Eight transfers were identified. Four were returning after an assessment in ED, two were new admissions to Udston and two were returning after treatment for physical illness.ResultInitial audit found that 38% of patients were transferred with their medical notes, 50% were transferred with no written documentation whatsoever, and none of the patients were transferred with a transfer letter. The second cycle found that 88% of patients had a transfer or discharge letter. 12% of patients came with no written documentation.ConclusionThe initial audit found significant deficiencies in communication. Highlighting the need for all patients to have a transfer letter at a local management meeting seems to have led to an improvement. However, differences between the samples in the 1st and 2nd audit cycle could be distorting the results. Further audits would be useful given the small sample size and due to the differences between the sample populations.

Abstract:

I learned during twenty years in RECOOP HST Association that sharing ideas, plans and actions make a human network naturally productive. Also, I believed throughout these years that honesty is a key component of a healthy relationship. Not only because honesty helps us avoid harmful breaches of trust, but because it allows us to build creative collaborative research organizations. Nonetheless, in the last two years, we were challenged with a vast scale of crises. First, the COVID-19 pandemic and second, beginning February 24, 2022, the brutal Russian aggression against Ukraine have impacted everybody’s life causing significant concern and insecurity across the globe. Economic instability, disturbed work routines and disrupted family lives have caused higher risks of physical and mental disorders [1, 2]. Socially isolated people often feel lonely or depressed. Constantly lonely people have higher blood pressure, are more vulnerable to infection and are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Loneliness also interferes with an entire range of everyday functions such as sleep patterns, attention and logical and verbal reasoning [3-6]. At the time the pandemic calmed, the Russian barbaric aggression and bombardment of civilian targets exposed large populations to physical aggression, which grants more damage over time as many Ukrainians are losing human condition. Are we losing humanity also? Humans are good or bad, or predators also capable of great kindness. Humanity symbolizes human love and sympathy toward each other. Human qualities include honesty, integrity, courage, self-awareness and dedication. These qualities define who we are as human beings. In this troubled time, we must look for the good in people and strengthen the care for others. Gandhi taught us, “The power of humanity is the strength of individual commitment and the force of collective action.” When RECOOP HST Association does something to help in Ukraine, all of us gain a sense of being valuable, helpful and worthwhile. Gandhi’s words remind us, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” The human misery caused by Russia’s attacks only strengthen Ukrainians’ extraordinary spirit and their dedication to protect their family, culture and homeland. Putin is scrambled by the strength of Ukraine and getting more aggressive. His actions prove, like Gandhi wrote, “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” And we are stronger and better together.

Abstract:

Anthropometric measurements are widely used in medicine, scientific research, but also in specialist medical care. Their proper use provides valuable information about the nutritional status, the adipose tissue and even the risk of comorbidities. Numerous scientific works question the usefulness of the BMI (body mass index), which is only an indirect measure of obesity. It does not take into account information on gender and age, and does not provide an answer on the distribution of body fat. Misclassification can result in serious deviations in the estimation of obesity-related effects. Therefore, the aim of this study is to present five new anthropometric obesity indicators as an alternative to BMI.In response to the dramatically growing problem of overweight and obesity, further exacerbated by the necessary restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary to search for precise, yet simple tools for assessing body composition that can be routinely used by individuals but also for population studies. Based on the literature review, five frequently described indicators were selected: Relative Fat Mass (RFM), A Body Shape Index (ABSI), Body Adiposity Index (BAI), Body Roundness Index (BRI) and CUN-BAE. Application possibilities and their effectiveness for the estimation of adipose tissue content and the risk of coexisting diseases are presented.Growing number of authors confirm the validity of using indicators such as RFM, BRI, CUN-BAE and ABSI. At the same time, researchers point to the need for further verification of their usefulness in clinical practice and public health.

Abstract:

The ultrasonic-assisted synthesis generated well-dispersed of BaO on Fe2O3 by giving none of the BaO peaks were observed through the XRD pattern. The most efficient adsorbent of BaO/Fe2O3200 was calcined at 200 °C with adsorption capacity for physisorption and chemisorption of 5.01 and 88.81 mg/g respectively. Besides other carbonate species, it was believed the presence of the hydroxyl group could enhance the sorption by forming bicarbonate upon CO2 chemisorption. It is also possessed a lower desorption range compared to BaO and Fe2O3 alone. The experimental CO2 adsorption isotherm at 25 °C fit better with the Freundlich isotherm model. It implies a favorable adsorption process with multilayer adsorption occurs onto the heterogeneous surface.

Abstract:

High-resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (SXPD) data alone are sometimes not enough to solve the structure of a complex polycrystalline material. Such was the case for the high-silica zeolites SSZ-61 and SSZ-87, where combining data from different sources, in particular XPD and electron microscopy, was vital to success. For SSZ-61, the SXPD data feature broad peaks and a resolution of ca. 1.2 Å. Although the pattern could be indexed, structure determination failed both with the charge flipping routine in SUPERFLIP [1] and with the zeolite-specific program FOCUS [2]. The unit cell parameters and HRTEM images indicated a relationship with ZSM-12 (MTW) and SSZ-59 (SFN), so several models derived from these two frameworks were built. Eventually, after considering Si-29 MAS NMR data and the size of the organic structure directing agent (SDA), a framework model that fits all the data emerged. To complete the structure, the SDA was included as a rigid-body, and its location and orientation optimized using simulated annealing. Subsequent Rietveld refinement confirmed the structure. In contrast to SSZ-61, the SXPD pattern for SSZ-87 was quite good, and it could be indexed with a C-centered cell. However, structure solution failed, probably because of the very high degree of reflection overlap (93%). Therefore, rotation electron diffraction (RED) data [3] were collected, but they proved to be of low resolution and poor quality. Only 2 of the 7 data sets could be indexed, and these had different unit cells. Neither fit the XPD pattern directly. The problem was traced to large errors in the RED cell parameters, and eventually one RED cell could be transformed to one similar to the SXPD cell. The RED data with this cell was only 15% complete up to a resolution of 1.22 Å. Even so, the structure could be solved using a recently developed version of FOCUS that works with ED data. The SDA was found as for SSZ-61, and the structure then confirmed by Rietveld refinement.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT We develop a methodology to optimize the measurement of baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) from a given galaxy sample. In our previous work, we demonstrated that one can measure BAO from tracers in underdense regions (voids). In this study, we combine the overdense and underdense tracers (galaxies and voids) to obtain better constraints on the BAO scale. To this end, we modify the de-wiggled BAO model with an additional parameter to describe both the BAO peak and the underlying exclusion pattern of void 2PCFs. We show that after applying BAO reconstruction to galaxies, the BAO peak scale of both galaxies and voids are unbiased using the modified model. Furthermore, we use a new 2PCF estimator for a multitracer analysis with galaxies and voids. In simulations, the joint sample improves by about 10 per cent the constraint for the post-reconstruction BAO peak position compared to the result from galaxies alone, which is equivalent to an enlargement of the survey volume by 20 per cent. Applying this method to the BOSS DR12 data, we have an 18 per cent improvement for the low-z sample (0.2 < z < 0.5), but a worse constraint for the high-z sample (0.5 < z < 0.75), which is consistent with statistical fluctuations for the current survey volume. Future larger samples will give more robust improvements due to less statistical fluctuations.

We study Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem in the quantum setting. Our work is based on the work of Bao and Halpern, in which it is proved that the quantum analogue of Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem is not valid. However, we feel unsatisfied about the proof presented in Bao and Halpern’s work. Moreover, the definition of Quantum Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives (QIIA) in Bao and Halpern’s work seems not appropriate to us. We give a better definition of QIIA, which properly captures the idea of the independence of irrelevant alternatives, and a detailed proof of the violation of Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem in the quantum setting with the modified definition.

Abstract:

The mass attenuation coefficients and partial interactions of BaO-ZnO-B2O3 glasses have been investigated using WinXCom program at difference photon energy. BaO-ZnO-B2O3 glasses were prepared in composition xBaO: 20ZnO: (80-x)B2O3 (where x = 15 and 20 mol %) by melt quenching technique under normal atmosphere. The densities of glasses are 3.0052 and 3.1022 g/cm3, respectively. The mass attenuation coefficients at 20% mol are higher than 15% mol of BaO in all energy range. The optical spectra were measured and good transparent behavior was obtained. Half value layer (HVL) of glasses are also report and compared with same standard shielding materials and show better shielding than ordinary concrete.

Abstract:

Slag refining is one of the most effective methods to remove boron from metallurgical grade silicon (MG-Si). In this paper, the removal of boron from metallurgical grade silicon was proposed by adding CaF2, BaO or rare earth oxides (La2O3 and CeO2) to CaO-SiO2 based slags. The effects of the BaO content, the CaF2 content, the rare earth oxides content, the molar ratio of CaO to SiO2 and the mass ratio of slag to silicon on the partition coefficient of boron (LB) between slag and silicon are investigated. The results show that LB has a maximum value of 5.17 in 45% CaO-45% SiO2-10% BaO slags at 1550 °C after reacting for 6 h with a slag to silicon mass ratio of 2. Besides, it is found that the addition of La2O3 or CeO2 shows better de-boronization ability compared with the addition of BaO.

Abstract:

In this experiment, the oxide nanoparticles were synthesized via chemical precipitation and the nanocomposites were produced using in situ polymerization method with varying nanoparticles contents ranged from 0.1 g to 1.0 g for electrical conductivity and from 0.05 g to 0.25 g for thermal conductivity. The electrical and thermal conductivities of nanocomposites were investigated and compared with the values obtained for untreated polystyrene. It was observed that the electrical and thermal properties were higher for the nanocomposites and increase with increasing nanoparticle concentrations in the samples. It can be observed that nanocomposite containing NiO nanoparticles gave a better electrical and thermal conductivity followed by nanocomposite containing BaO nanoparticles and nanocomposite containing Sb2O3 nanoparticles respectively. It can also be observed that nanocomposite containing NiO nanoparticle showed increase in rate of heat transfer from 1.60 W to 2.60 W, while nanocomposite containing BaO nanoparticles recorded increase in rate of heat transfer from 1.40 W to 2.45 W and nanoomposite containing Sb2O3 nanoparticle showed increase in rate of heat transfer from 1.07 W to 2.21 W, as concentration of nanoparticles increased from 0.05 g to 0.25 g respectively. Conclusively, with these results, the nanocomposite containing NiO nanoparticles gave a better thermal and electrical conductivity by having a better conducting filler network inside the matrix than nanocomposite containing BaO nanoparticles and nanocomposite containing Sb2O3 nanoparticles. It is recommended that during the production of polymer nanocomposite, PS/NiO, PS/BaO and PS/Sb2O3 nanocomposites could be used in electrically conductive devices as well as suitable materials for heat transfer applications.
