Abstract:
Introduction. Road culverts are one of the most massive hydraulic structures of transport construction in Ukraine. The bottom beef of such structures works in difficult operating conditions: with significant unevenness of the distribution of specific costs; high kinetics of the discharge flow and its saturation with sediments, floating garbage; small flooding of the diversion channel, etc. The main difficulty of the problem lies in the fact that a two-dimensional flow takes place in the area of free spreading, and in the area of quenching of excess kinetic energy, this two-dimensional flow turns into a three-dimensional turbulent flow, which makes it practically impossible to obtain a theoretical solution for the movement of water in the lower bay of hydrotechnical structures . The need to improve the structures of the lower bief of hydraulic structures of transport construction from road culverts is urgent, taking into account that the existing approaches do not lead to the desired positive results. Problems. From the literature analysis, it was established that the strengthening of the lower biefs of hydraulic structures of transport construction from road culverts is an important component for the durability of the structure itself and its proper functioning. Goal. It consists in the analysis of constructive measures to strengthen the lower banks of hydraulic structures of transport construction from road corrugated metal culverts. The results. An analysis of the main approaches to strengthening the lower beams of hydraulic structures of transport construction from road culverts was carried out. The analysis of the calculation of the structural elements of active type energy extinguishers was performed. Conclusions. To date, there are two most common approaches to the solution of the problem of fixing the lower biefs of hydraulic structures of transport construction from road culverts: complete rejection of the arrangement of energy extinguishing structures, which causes a significant shift of the erosion gap from the road embankment; or the use of jet-type energy quenchers (of the water well type formed by a ledge or wall), breakers or dispersants of various types. However, both approaches do not completely solve the problem of extinguishing the energy of the water flow behind the structures of road culverts. The method of hydraulic calculations of ordinary concrete (conditionally smooth) pipes and metal corrugated pipes (with increased roughness of the inner surface) is performed according to the same method, the difference is only in the constants used in the calculation: roughness coefficient, friction slope, depth at the entrance to the pipe, etc. d., which in turn indicates the need for additional calculations and experimental studies. In addition, the existing methods of calculation for the optimization of the structures of energy quenchers in the lower biefs need experimental clarification.

Abstract:
More than 47,000 culverts have been installed under the highways of Utah. The Utah Department of Transportation (DOT) maintains these culverts but has no comprehensive system for assessing condition and planning maintenance activities. Utah DOT initiated a study to determine the condition of its culverts by field surveys. The objective was to develop a system of qualitative and quantitative performance measures to assess both the long- and short-term behavior of highway culverts and to support the Utah DOT effort to modify and populate a computerized database designed to store culvert inspection data that can be used for statewide culvert asset management. Culvert management practices currently used by Utah DOT and other agencies are described. A total of 272 culvert inspections conducted during this project showed the inventory to be aging but not generally in need of immediate maintenance. The Utah DOT database, developed to track culvert condition, is effective but could be improved. Improvements would streamline both culvert inspections and priority ranking of culvert repairs. The FHWA system for rating culvert maintenance action was adopted, with a new proposed table for rating thermoplastic pipe. Culvert ratings were adjusted with an importance modifier that focused inspection and maintenance activity on critical culverts with higher consequence of failure. Critical culverts should be placed on a regular inspection schedule, whereas other culverts can be inspected during periodic roadway repaving or rehabilitation. Culvert inspection results will be added to the database to provide more insight eventually into culvert service life than is now possible.

Abstract:
In order to assess the vehicle load carrying capacity of existing bridges on the national highway G103 in Beijing, the vehicle load model for the practical traffic flow conditions needs to be determined. Based on the traffic axle load data measured by the weigh-in-motion system and the methods proposed by General Code for Design of Highway Bridges and Culverts (JTG D60-2004) and Code for Design of Highway Reinforced Concrete and Prestressed Concrete Bridges and Culverts (JTG D62-2004), the vehicle load parameters under practical traffic flow conditions are investigated. A typical 6-axle vehicle model with a 2-1-3 axial pattern is proposed by using the statistical analysis of total weight, axial weight, etc. The live load effects of Daliushu No. 2 Bridge, one highway bridge on the national highway G103, are analyzed using the proposed model and compared to the vehicle load model given in the Chinese code. The results show that there are great differences in the vehicle load parameters and the live load effects from the proposed vehicle load model increased by 20–50% compared with the model given by the code. The overweight vehicles are potential threats to the safety of existing bridges.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to lay the ground for further work on interpreting Coleridge’s Logic and its relation to the rest of his philosophy, particularly the system of speculative metaphysics and theology presented in Coleridge’s Opus Maximum fragments. I do this by exploring the connections between Coleridge’s conceptions of the a priori, the cognitive faculties (or capacities), and the nature of logical theory. Part 1 seeks to place Coleridge’s views on logic in their broader historical and intellectual context, showing why Coleridge considered the investigation of the faculties, and the analysis of our cognitive operations and contents, to be fundamental to logical theory, and arguing that this position is a product of Coleridge’s critical engagement with the early modern logic of ideas and faculties. Part 2 gives a preliminary account of Coleridge’s interpretation of two key Kantian terms, ‘a priori’ and ‘transcendental’, exploring the analogies Coleridge uses to elucidate the nature of the a priori and the purpose of transcendental claims. Part 3 expands on this account, considering how Coleridge’s conceptions of the a priori and the transcendental inform his claims, especially in Logic, on the human mental faculties and their contribution to sensory experience and cognition; it focuses on Coleridge’s views on ‘the obvious threefold division’ of our cognitive capacities into sense, understanding, and reason, his descriptions of the formal (a priori) and material (a posteriori) elements of cognition, and his functional theory of the constitution of our faculties. Part 4 discusses the relations between Coleridge’s theory of the cognitive capacities and his conception of the a priori, focusing on Coleridge’s claims concerning the origins of a priori forms and contents in our cognitive capacities, and the transcendental method of inquiry which he contends is able to prove such claims.

Abstract:
Height, skinfold, and circumference measurements were obtained from 29 normal weight and 17 overweight (>110% of desirable weight for height) healthy pregnant women every four weeks during their second trimester of pregnancy. The mean weight gain and food intake values were not significantly different for both groups. Measurements increased at a greater rate for the normal weight gravidas than for the overweight gravidas in almost every case. For both groups, increases in fat stores were greater in the central sites than in the peripheral sites. No clear relationship between age, prepregnant weight, and weight gain during the second trimester with the birthweight of the baby was found. The infant birthweights of both groups were at an optimal level ( >2500 grams) except for one (born to the mother 151% of her desirable weight for height). The similarity in results for the two groups is greatly due to there not being a large enough difference in prepregnant weights between the two groups. Nevertheless, the results do lend support to a 20 to 30 pound weight gain for an optimal outcome of pregnancy for healthy pregnant women with a wide range of prepregnancy weights. Those women 150% or more of their desirable weight for height may need to gain on the lower end of the spectrum due to their excess endogenous reserves and to possible harm to the fetus with large gains.

Abstract:
Relationships among glucose tolerance, plasma insulin, and plasma glucagon were examined in chicks developed through selection for high (HW) and low (LW) body weight, and in F, crosses (HL) between HW males and LW females. At 21, 42, 63, and 84 days of age, chicks from each population were intubated with glucose (2 g/kg body weight) following a 24-hr fast. Blood was collected at 20-minute intervals up to 100 minutes postadministration. At all ages, the LW chicks were better able to metabolize glucose than their HW counterparts, while the HLs exhibited intermediate responses. Impaired glucose tolerance in the HWs and HLs was not associated with insulin insufficiency; the HWs and HLs, in comparison to the LWs, were hyperinsulinemic at 42 and 63 days of age and plasma insulin levels did not differ among populations at 21 or 84 days of age. Plasma glucagon responses to glucose administration were inconsistent, but plasma glucagon levels were consistently higher in the HWs and HLs than in the LWs. It was concluded that excessive fat deposition in chickens selected for rapid growth is associated with hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance.

Resumo: A capacidade de prever os tumores órgão-confinados e a recorrência bioquímica pós-prostatectomia radical é o objetivo principal dos nomogramas pré-terapêuticos. A aferição da extensão tumoral do carcinoma em biópsias transretais aumenta o valor preditivo desses nomogramas. Os objetivos deste trabalho são avaliar características anatomoclínicas dos pacientes submetidos à prostatectomia radical entre 1997 e 2008 no Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas, associando os aspectos morfológicos encontrados nas biópsias transretais com a extensão tumoral final, a situação das margens cirúrgicas, o estádio patológico e a recorrência bioquímica. Nas biópsias, a extensão tumoral foi avaliada através das seguintes formas: 1- Número e percentagem de fragmentos comprometidos por carcinoma; 2- Extensão total e percentual de carcinoma em milímetros de todos os fragmentos e 3- Maior extensão e maior percentual de carcinoma em um único fragmento. A presença de invasão perineural, de formações glomeruloides e de micronódulos colágenos nas biópsias foram associadas a diferentes variáveis clinicopatológicas. Foram incluídas no estudo todas as prostatectomias radicais submetidas inteiramente a exame histológico e estadiadas segundo os critérios da AJCC, 7ª edição. A extensão tumoral nas prostatectomias radicais foi avaliada através do sistema de contagem de pontos. Os valores de PSA ?0,2ng/mL foram considerados como marcadores bioquímicos de progressão tumoral. Para a associação entre variáveis contínuas foi utilizado o teste de Spearman. Para a comparação entre os diferentes métodos de extensão tumoral e o estádio patológico final >T2 e a situação das margens cirúrgicas foi utilizada regressão logística binária. O tempo de sobrevida livre de doença foi estudado usando o produto limite de Kaplan-Meier. Para avaliar o risco de recorrência bioquímica, foram realizadas análises uni e multivariadas, baseadas no modelo de Cox. Foram considerados significantes os valores de p?0,05. Todos os métodos de avaliação da extensão tumoral foram capazes de prever estádio patológico final >T2 e o comprometimento das margens cirúrgicas. Com a exceção da maior extensão e do maior percentual de carcinoma num único fragmento, todos os métodos estiveram associados a um maior risco de recorrência bioquímica. Somente a percentagem de fragmentos com carcinoma (%NFC), a maior extensão tumoral num único fragmento (MFC), o comprimento total da neoplasia em milímetros (ETC) e o percentual de carcinoma em todos os fragmentos (%ETC) mostraram diferença significativa no tempo de recorrência bioquímica pós-prostatectomia radical (Kaplan-Meier). O percentual do comprimento total de carcinoma (%ETC) apresentou maior valor preditivo que as demais aferições em relação ao estádio patológico final >pT2 e à recorrência bioquímica. O número de fragmentos comprometidos por carcinoma apresentou a melhor capacidade preditiva na avaliação do comprometimento das margens cirúrgicas. Em análise multivariada, o modelo que combinou PSA pré-operatório, graduação histológica de Gleason e %ETC mostrou maior capacidade preditiva de estádio patológico >pT2 e risco de recorrência bioquímica. Os micronódulos colágenos, as formações glomeruloides e a infiltração perineural foram achados infrequentes nas biópsias (13,7%, 11,9% e 20,8%, respectivamente). Não houve associação entre a presença de micronódulos colágenos com qualquer variável clínica, patológica ou recorrência tumoral. As formações glomeruloides estiveram diretamente relacionadas com a idade dos pacientes e com a graduação histológica de Gleason, tanto nas biópsias como nas prostatectomias radicais. A invasão perineural esteve diretamente relacionada à doença extraprostática (estádio patológico >T2). Não houve associação entre invasão perineural e recorrência bioquímica pós-cirurgia. Para o anatomopatologista em sua rotina diária é menos morosa e mais prática a simples aferição do número de fragmentos com carcinoma (NFC) e o percentual em relação ao total de fragmentos da amostra (%NFC). Essas aferições, associadas ao PSA pré-operatório e à graduação histológica de Gleason, constituem um modelo preditivo significante do estádio patológico final >T2
Abstract: The focus of pre therapeutic nomograms is to preview organ-confined prostate cancer and biochemical recurrence. Measuring cancer extent on needle prostatic biopsies enhance the predictive value of nomograms. The objectives of this study were evaluate clinical and pathological characteristics of patients submitted to radical prostatectomy at University of Campinas from 1997 to 2008, correlating the morphological aspects on prostate needle biopsy with final tumoral extent, positive surgical margins, pathological stage and biochemical recurrence. Tumor extent was evaluated on needle biopsies as: 1- Number and percentage of cores with carcinoma; 2- Total length and percentage of cancer in mm in all cores; and, 3- The greatest length and percentage of cancer in a single core. Perineural invasion, collagenous micronodules and glomeruloid structures were also observed and correlated to different clinical and pathological variables. All surgical specimens were whole-mount processed and totally embedded. The pathological stage was defined by AJCC, 7th edition. Tumoral extent was evaluated by a semiquantitative point-count method. Biochemical progression was defined as PSA ?0.2ng/mL. Logistic regression was used to relate the variables to pathological stage>T2 and surgical margins. Spearman test was used to associate continuous variables. Time to biochemical (PSA) progression-free outcome was studied using the Kaplan-Meier product-limit analysis; the comparison between the groups was done using the log-rank test. For the risk of recurrence, univariate and multivariate analyses were based on Cox model. Two-sided P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. All measurements significantly predicted stage >pT2 and positive surgical margins. With the exception of the greatest length and percentage of cancer in a single core, all other methods were associated with a higher risk for biochemical recurrence. Only percentage of cores with carcinoma, greatest length of tumor in a single core and length and percentage of cancer in all cores significantly showed different time for PSA recurrence (Kaplan-Meier). Percentage of length of carcinoma in all cores was significantly and consistently stronger than other measures in all comparisons and combined to preoperative PSA and Gleason grade in multivariate analysis gained prediction for pathologic stage >T2 and was independent for risk of biochemical recurrence. The number of cores with carcinoma was stronger than other measures to predict positive surgical margins. Collagenous micronodules, glomeruloid structures and perineural invasion were infrequent findings on needle biopsies (13,7%, 11,9% e 20,8%, respectively). Collagenous micronodules were not related to any clinical or pathological variable, as well as tumoral recurrence. Glomeruloid structures were related to age and Gleason grade on needle biopsies and radical prostatectomies. Perineural invasion were directly associated to pathological stage >T2 (extraprostatic disease). There was no association between biochemical recurrence and perineural invasion, even in patients with organ-confined cancer. Percentage of total length of carcinoma in mm in all cores was statistically the strongest predictor of stage >pT2 and biochemical recurrence following radical prostatectomy, however, number and percentage of biopsy cores with cancer (the easiest way to measure tumor extent) are also statistically significant predictors and may be the favorite choice for the great majority of practical pathologists. Combined with preoperative PSA and Gleason grade on biopsy may improve the predictive value for stage >pT2

Essa investigação procurou explorar a dinâmica das redes e relações familiares envolvendo os juízes almotacés na Câmara Municipal de Rio Pardo no período de 1811 a 1830. Demarcado pelos juízes almotacés, homens da elite municipal e regional, e pelas suas famílias, procura examinar a atuação e as estratégias desses indivíduos no universo da câmara e da almotaçaria, disciplinando e normatizando as atividades comerciais, as condições de higiene da vila, regulando o dia a dia da população. A partir disso, busca-se assinalar a afirmação social, econômica e política desses indivíduos na Vila de Rio Pardo, tecendo redes e relações no centro do poder da administração municipal, sobre as quais convergiam também os interesses familiares e a formação de alianças matrimoniais com o intuito de ampliar o status social de determinados grupos familiares. Para finalizar, procuramos explorar um pouco das rivalidades e intrigas entre os "homens bons" da Vila de Rio Pardo numa disputa pelo poder e status político-social em uma das mais antigas e tradicionais vilas da Capitania/Província do Rio Grande de São Pedro.
This investigation seeks to explore the dynamics of the family relations and networks involving weights and measures inspectors in the Rio Pardo City Council, from 1811 to 1830. Demarcated by the weights and measures inspectors, elite regional and municipal citizens, and by the families, the paper seeks to examine the work and strategies of these individuals in the universe of the city council and the Office of Weights and Measures, disciplining and standardizing the commercial activities, the sanitation conditions of the village, the social, economic and political affirmation of these individuals is characterized in the Rio Pardo Village, weaving networks and relations in the heart of the municipal administration’s power, which also attracted family interests and gave origin to matrimonial alliances with the clear intention to broaden the social status of specific family groups. To finalize the paper, we tried to explore a little about the competitions and backstage bickerings between the “good men” in the Rio Pardo Village, fighting for power and political status in one of the oldest and most traditional villages of Captaincy/Province of Rio Grande do São Pedro.

Abstract:
Total weaning weight records of 29,832 Angus and 15,765 Hereford calves born during 1953 through 1983 in Virginia were used to evaluate phenotypic and genetic trends for adjusted weaning weight (AWWT), weaning weight ratio (WWR) and deviation of AWWT from the mean AWWT of the contemporaries (DEVN). Two approaches, namely the regression techniques and maximum likelihood (ML) procedure were taken to estimate the above trends. The estimates of annual phenotypic trend for AWWT in the Angus and Hereford breeds were .96 and .82 kg/yr, respectively. The sire and dam genetic trends obtained from both approaches for the traits of interest were positive and significant; however, the estimates from the regression analyses were slightly higher than those- from the ML procedure. The estimates of one-half of the sire genetic trends obtained from ML procedure for WWR and DEVN were .40 ± .04 ratio units/yr and .72 ± .07 kg/yr in the Angus breed and the corresponding values for the Hereford breed were .25 ± .06 ratio units/yr and .45 ± .12 kg/yr. The estimates of one-half of the darn trends for the corresponding traits were .32 ± .02 ratio units/yr and .55 ± .04 kg/yr for Angus and .21 ± .03 ratio units/yr and .30 ± .07 kg/yr for Herefords. The application of adjustment factors (to eliminate the bias due to non-random mating and culling levels) to estimates of sire genetic trends in the regression analyses produced estimates more similar to the estimates obtained from the ML procedure. The average annual genetic trends over the study period from the ML procedure for AWWT were 1.27 kg/yr for Angus and .75 kg/yr for Herefords.

Acompanha: Ensino de grandezas e medidas: uma proposta de sequência didática com materiais manipuláveis
O objetivo deste estudo é analisar como o uso de Materiais Manipuláveis pode contribuir para o processo de aprendizagem dos conceitos de Grandezas e Medidas para alunos do 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental. Partiu-se do pressuposto de que a aprendizagem constitui um processo de construção de significado dos objetos e, essa compreensão depende das experiências de vida de cada sujeito sendo entendido como conhecimentos prévios dos alunos. Nessa perspectiva, foi elaborada e aplicada uma sequência didática, a partir do tema Grandezas e Medidas. Do ponto de vista metodológico, o estudo inseriu-se numa pesquisa qualitativa, de natureza interpretativa, envolvendo alunos do 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental de um colégio público estadual da cidade de Ortigueira - PR. A pesquisa orientou-se pela seguinte questão: Quais as contribuições que o uso de Materiais Manipuláveis poderá trazer para a aprendizagem de Grandezas e Medidas no 6º Ano do Ensino Fundamental? Os dados utilizados neste trabalho foram coletados durante todo o desenvolvimento da sequência didática, com o uso dos seguintes instrumentos: aplicação da avaliação diagnóstica, observação, fotografias, registros escritos e relatos orais. Os resultados indicam que as atividades dos módulos da sequência didática, contribuíram para o avanço progressivo dos conhecimentos dos alunos, demonstrando que é possível, efetivar um trabalho diferenciado e contextualizado, centrado na formação para a cidadania. Vale lembrar que a implementação dessa proposta requer esforço coletivo e concretização do compromisso inerente à ação pedagógica - a prática da pesquisa, da reflexão e da formação permanente. Com o propósito de compartilhar saberes docentes com outros profissionais da área, como produto final desse trabalho, foi elaborado um caderno pedagógico, contendo uma sequência didática com um conjunto de atividades didáticas que viabilizem a utilização de Materiais Manipuláveis como ferramenta pedagógica nas séries finais do Ensino Fundamental, intitulado: “Ensino de Grandezas e Medidas: uma proposta de sequência didática com materiais manipuláveis”.
The objective of this study is to analyze how the use of Manipulable Materials can contribute to the process of learning the concepts of Greatness and Measures for students of the 6th year of Elementary School. It was assumed that learning is a process of constructing meaning of objects and that understanding depends on the life experiences of each subject being understood as prior knowledge of the students. From this perspective, a didactic sequence was elaborated and applied, based on the theme Grandezas e Media. From the methodological point of view, the study was inserted in a qualitative research, of an interpretative nature, involving students of the 6th grade of Elementary School of a state public college in the city of Ortigueira - PR. The research was guided by the following question: What contributions could the use of Manipulable Materials bring to the learning of Greatness and Measures in the 6th Year of Elementary Education? The data used in this work were collected throughout the development of the didactic sequence, using the following instruments: application of diagnostic evaluation, observation, photographs, written records and oral reports. The results indicate that the activities of the modules of the didactic sequence contributed to the progressive advancement of the students' knowledge, demonstrating that it is possible to carry out a differentiated and contextualized work centered on the formation of citizenship. It is worth remembering that the implementation of this proposal requires collective effort and concretization of the commitment inherent in pedagogical action - the practice of research, reflection and permanent formation. With the purpose of sharing teacher knowledge with other professionals of the area, as a final product of this work, a pedagogical book was elaborated, containing a didactic sequence with a set of didactic activities that enabled the use of Manipulable Materials as pedagogical tool in the final series of Teaching Fundamental, titled: "Teaching of Greatness and Measures: a proposal for a didactic sequence with manipulable materials".

Abstract:
Bronze weights from Myanmar (old Burma) are popularly but incorrectly identified as “opium weights”. This paper examines the historical evidence for a system of weights and measures in old Burma going back to the 11th to 14th century Bagan period. It also examines the challenge to Southeast Asian archaeology, history and museology posed by the popular “Angel Weights” website and Facebook pages, which claim that a hoard of bronzes and associated documentation kept in a so-far undisclosed location represents a hitherto unknown collection of weights that date back to the Bagan and 14th to 16th century First Ava periods. This (so far) private curatorship of alleged historical data presents a dilemma: how does an academic deal with data that is available only on the internet, presented only from the viewpoint of its owners? မြန်မာပြည် (ယခင်ဗမာပြည်)မှ ကြေးရုပ်အလေးများကို လူသိများလှသော်လည်း ဘိန်းချိန် အလေးများဟူ၍ လွဲမှားစွာ ဖွင့်ဆိုလေ့ရှိသည်။ ယခုစာတမ်းမှာ အေဒီ(၁၁)ရာစုမှ (၁၄)ရာစု ရှေးခေတ် မြန်မာပြည် ပုဂံခေတ်ကာလတွင် သုံးစွဲခဲ့သော အလေးချိန်စနစ်တစ်ခုအတွက် သမိုင်းဆိုင်ရာ အထောက်အထားများကို လေ့လာရှာဖွေရန်ဖြစ်သည်။ အလားတူပင် အရှေ့တောင်အာရှ ရှေးဟောင်း သုတေသန၊ သမိုင်းနှင့် ပြတိုက်ဆိုင်ရာ ကြေးထည်ပစ္စည်းများနှင့် ဆက်စပ်အထောက်အထားများကို ယင်းတို့၏ မူရင်းနေရာ အတိအကျ မသိရှိဘဲ ပုဂံခေတ်မှ အေဒီ(၁၄_၁၆) ရာစု အင်းဝခေတ်တို့နှင့် သက်ဆိုင်သည့် ကြေးထည်ပစ္စည်းနှင့် အလေးများဟူ၍ “နတ်ရုပ်အလေးများ” ကွန်ယက်နှင့် ဖေ့စ်ဘုတ် လူမှုကွန်ယက်စာမျက်နှာများတွင် လူသိထင်ရှားဖော်ပြ ထားခြင်းတို့အပေါ် စောဒကတက်စရာရှိသည် များကို စစ်ဆေးလေ့လာသွားရန်လည်းဖြစ်သည်။ ဤသို့ (ဖော်ပြထားသည့်) ကိုယ်ပိုင်ပြသမှု များမှ သမိုင်းဆိုင်ရာ အချက်အလက် များကို လိုသလို သုံးစွဲနေမှုများသည်-“ပစ္စည်းပိုင်ရှင်တို့၏ အထင် အမြင်ဖြင့်သာ ဖော်ပြထားသည့် အင်တာနက် တွင်သာရနိုင်သော အချက်အလက်များနှင့် ပညာရပ်ဆိုင်ရာ လေ့လာမှုတို့မည်ကဲ့သို့ ဆက်စပ်နိုင်ကြ မည်နည်း”ဟူသော အကြပ်အတည်းတစ်ခုကိုလည်း ဖော်ပြ လျက်ရှိသည်။

Abstract:
We study the problem of extending the classic centrality measures to weighted graphs. Unfortunately, in the existing extensions, paths in the graph are evaluated solely based on their weights, which is a restrictive and undesirable assumption for a variety of settings. Given this, we define a notion of the path evaluation function that assesses a path between two nodes by looking not only on the sum of edge weights, but also on the number of intermediaries. Using an axiomatic approach, we propose three classes of path evaluation functions. Building upon this analysis, we present the first systematic study how classic centrality measures can be extended to weighted graphs while taking into account an arbitrary path evaluation function. As an application, we use the newly-defined measures to identify the most well-linked districts in a sample public transport network.

Abstract:
Tractable Deep Probabilistic Models (TPMs) are generative models based on arithmetic circuits that allow for exact marginal inference in linear time. These models have obtained promising results in several machine learning tasks. Like many other models, TPMs can produce over-confident incorrect inferences, especially on regions with small statistical support. In this work, we will develop efficient estimators of the predictive uncertainty that are robust to data scarcity and outliers. We investigate two approaches. The first approach measures the variability of the output to perturbations of the model weights. The second approach captures the variability of the prediction to changes in the model architecture. We will evaluate the approaches on challenging tasks such as image completion and multilabel classification.

Abstract:
Recently, Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) have proven to be a powerful mean for Computer Aided Diagnosis (CADx). This approach requires building a population graph to aggregate structural information, where the graph adjacency matrix represents the relationship between nodes. Until now, this adjacency matrix is usually defined manually based on phenotypic information. In this paper, we propose an encoder that automatically selects the appropriate phenotypic measures according to their spatial distribution, and uses the text similarity awareness mechanism to calculate the edge weights between nodes. The encoder can automatically construct the population graph using phenotypic measures which have a positive impact on the final results, and further realizes the fusion of multimodal information. In addition, a novel graph convolution network architecture using multi-layer aggregation mechanism is proposed. The structure can obtain deep structure information while suppressing over-smooth, and increase the similarity between the same type of nodes. Experimental results on two databases show that our method can significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy for Autism spectrum disorder and breast cancer, indicating its universality in leveraging multimodal data for disease prediction.
