Culturally shared and unique meanings and expressions of maternal control across four cultures
Maternal control is a major dimension of parenting and has different meanings, practices, and potential consequences across cultures. The present study aimed to identify and compare mothers’ conceptualizations of parenting ... -
OMAD: On-device Mental Anomaly Detection for Substance and Non-Substance Users
Stay at home order during the COVID-19 helps flatten the curve but ironically, instigate mental health problems among the people who have Substance Use Disorders. Measuring the electrical activity signals in brain using ... -
A practical guide for analyzing large-scale assessment data using Mplus: A case demonstration using the Program for International Assessment of Adult Competencies Data
(SAGE, 2020-12-16)In order to promote the use of increasingly available large-scale assessment data in education and expand the scope of analytic capabilities among applied researchers, this study provides step-by-step guidance, and practical ... -
Integrating Text Embedding with Traditional NLP Features for Clinical Relation Extraction
Recently, text embedding techniques such as Word2Vec and BERT have produced state-of-the-art results in a wide variety of NLP tasks. As a result, traditional NLP features frequently used in Information Extraction (IE) such ... -
Graph-Based Intrusion Detection System for Controller Area Networks
The controller area network (CAN) is the most widely used intra-vehicular communication network in the automotive industry. Because of its simplicity in design, it lacks most of the requirements needed for a security-proven ... -
Neural Fair Collaborative Filtering
A growing proportion of human interactions are digitized on social media platforms and subjected to algorithmic decision-making, and it has become increasingly important to ensure fair treatment from these algorithms. In ... -
The Use of AI for Thermal Emotion Recognition: A Review of Problems and Limitations in Standard Design and Data
With the increased attention on thermal imagery for Covid-19 screening, the public sector may believe there are new opportunities to exploit thermal as a modality for computer vision and AI. Thermal physiology research has ... -
Practical Cross-modal Manifold Alignment for Grounded Language
We propose a cross-modality manifold alignment procedure that leverages triplet loss to jointly learn consistent, multi-modal embeddings of language-based concepts of real-world items. Our approach learns these embeddings ... -
Nest site characteristics of the Critically Endangered Bahama Oriole (Icterus northropi)
(BirdsCaribbean, 2020-12-15)The Bahama Oriole (Icterus northropi) is a Critically Endangered species restricted to Andros in The Bahamas. Previous research suggested that the Bahama Oriole nested almost exclusively in coconut palms (Cocos nucifera) ... -
Quantum Approximate Optimization for Hard Problems in Linear Algebra
The Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) by Farhi et al. is a quantum computational framework for solving quantum or classical optimization tasks. Here, we explore using QAOA for Binary Linear Least Squares ... -
Evolving schema representations in orbitofrontal ensembles during learning
(Nature, 2020-12-23)How do we learn about what to learn about? Specifically, how do the neural elements in our brain generalize what has been learned in one situation to recognize the common structure of—and speed learning in—other, similar ... -
Time-Rescaling of Dirac Dynamics: Shortcuts to Adiabaticity in Ion Traps and Weyl Semimetals
(MDPI, 2021-01-08)Only very recently, rescaling time has been recognized as a way to achieve adiabatic dynamics in fast processes. The advantage of time-rescaling over other shortcuts to adiabaticity is that it does not depend on the ... -

ForestGEO: Understanding forest diversity and dynamics through a global observatory network
(Elsevier, 2020-12-13)ForestGEO is a network of scientists and long-term forest dynamics plots (FDPs) spanning the Earth's major forest types. ForestGEO's mission is to advance understanding of the diversity and dynamics of forests and to ... -
Flexible comparative genomics of prokaryotic transcriptional regulatory networks
(BioMed Central, 2020-12-16)Background Comparative genomics methods enable the reconstruction of bacterial regulatory networks using available experimental data. In spite of their potential for accelerating research into the composition and evolution ... -
The Simultaneous Assessment of Normality and Homoscedasticity in One-Way Random Effects Models
(Society of Statistics, Computer and Applications, 2020-06-28)The article investigates the simultaneous assessment of normality and homoscedasticity in a one-way random effects model. Test procedures are developed assuming a smooth alternative to the normal distribution, specified ... -
Individual and community-level risk for COVID-19 mortality in the United States
(Nature, 2020-12-11)Reducing COVID-19 burden for populations will require equitable and effective risk-based allocations of scarce preventive resources, including vaccinations. To aid in this effort, we developed a general population risk ... -
Aspect Based Abusive Sentiment Detection in Nepali Social Media Texts
With the increase in internet access and the ease of writing comments in the Nepali language, fine-grained sentiment analysis of social media comments is becoming more and more pertinent. There are a number of benchmarked ...
