Investigating The Impact Of Unsupervised Feature-Extraction From Multi-Wavelength Image Data For Photometric Classification Of Stars, Galaxies And Qsos, Annika Lindh

Conference papers

Accurate classification of astronomical objects currently relies on spectroscopic data. Acquiring this data is time-consuming and expensive compared to photometric data. Hence, improving the accuracy of photometric classification could lead to far better coverage and faster classification pipelines. This paper investigates the benefit of using unsupervised feature-extraction from multi-wavelength image data for photometric classification of stars, galaxies and QSOs. An unsupervised Deep Belief Network is used, giving the model a higher level of interpretability thanks to its generative nature and layer-wise training. A Random Forest classifier is used to measure the contribution of the novel features compared to a set …

What Use Is Instrumentalism? Conservative Pragmatism In Liberal Learning, Seth C. Vannatta

Education and Culture

This article summarizes four archetypal responses—the reactionary, conservative, pragmatist, and presentist—to the real or perceived threat to liberal learning in higher education. I advocate a balance between the conservative and the pragmatist responses. A conservative pragmatist response resists the canonical rigidity of the reactionary; responds to the ever-evolving social demands and practices that help frame the perennial questions of liberal learning, but values the poetry of conversation and the disengagement demanded by such a conversation, even if social problems initiate the reflective inquiry. The conservative pragmatist response highlights the perennial and the evolutionary, the universal and the particular, and the …

Input And Output Method Of Personalized Answers With Chatbot, Zhou Bailiang, Guangqiang Zhang

Defensive Publications Series

A system and method for enabling a user to search for personal information through information systems such as search boxes or chatbots are disclosed. The system allows the user to store identified personal information, and retrieve this information at any time and from anywhere through a search box or similar application. A pre-defined input format is used to instruct the search engine so that personal information inputs are distinguishable from other common search queries. The user can retrieve the information through the usual searching techniques or by asking a question to the system and the answer is returned as a …

Advances Of Cone Penetration Testing In Earthquake Engineering Applications, Robb E.S. Moss, R. Moffat

Civil and Environmental Engineering

The Cone Penetration Test (CPT), because of its precision, accuracy, and utility has been increasingly used in earthquake engineering applications in the last decade. This paper provides a brief survey of recent advances in applying the CPT to; liquefaction triggering, post-liquefaction deformations, cyclic failure of clays, dynamic slope stability, and seismic site response. In granular soils the continuous CPT measurements of tip and sleeve resistance are well correlated with the engineering properties of relative density and friction angle. In clay soils the CPT tip resistance is directly proportional to the undrained shear strength. CPT measurements are ideal for weak or …

Transcription Factor Reb1 Is Required For Proper Transcriptional Start Site Usage At The Divergently Transcribed Tfc6-Esc2 Locus In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Qing Wang, David Donze

Faculty Publications

© 2016 Elsevier B.V. Eukaryotic promoters generally contain nucleosome depleted regions near their transcription start sites. In the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae, these regions are adjacent to binding sites for general regulatory transcription factors, and the Reb1 protein is commonly bound to promoter DNA near such regions. The yeast TFC6 promoter is a unique RNA polymerase II promoter in that it is autoregulated by its own gene product Tfc6p, which is part of the RNA polymerase III transcription factor complex TFIIIC. We previously demonstrated that mutation of a potential Reb1 binding site adjacent to the TFIIIC binding site in the …

Higher Ed Sees Decline In Language Studies., Aldemaro Romero Jr.

Publications and Research

Despite much talk about the importance of globalization,

the very places where most people in

the U.S. learn foreign languages – colleges and universities

– are offering fewer and fewer courses in

them. In a report published last year by the Modern

Languages Association (MLA), statistics show that

for the first time since 1995 we are seeing a drop

in enrollment in courses in all major European languages,

including Spanish. And the drop is significant:

6.7 percent overall since 2009 after increasing

steadily since 1995.

Spanish, the most studied language in colleges

and universities (more than all other languages

combined), …

Efficiency From Added Control And Root Cut Out In Infinite Blade Rotorcraft, Brian D. Mincks, David Peters

Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science Independent Study

A dynamic inflow based induced power model for a lifting rotor with an infinite number of blades is analyzed to reveal efficiency of a rotorcraft in forward flight. The model starts from first principals to relate the acceleration potential of an actuator disk to pressure on the lifting blade. Peters and He Ref [3] note that this model provides “overall good correlation with recent measurement data” (xix). This model is extended with the addition of harmonic control, radial control, and root cut out (rco). The addition of these three factors reveal ways to approach the minimum induced power as predicted …
