We introduce QVEC-CCA—an intrinsic evaluation metric for word vector representations based on correlations of learned vectors with features extracted from linguistic resources. We show that QVECCCA scores are an effective proxy for a range of extrinsic semantic and syntactic tasks. We also show that the proposed evaluation obtains higher and more consistent correlations with downstream tasks, c...

Biological imaging collects data over time and length scales that range from atoms and molecules to cells and tissues with a frequent goal of molecular detection in live tissues and organs. There are two generic approaches employed in microscopy to study the structure and function of molecules, cells, and organisms. Both collect large numbers of images and generate TB-size datasets but for diff...

This study analyzed the characteristics of, and locations prone to, extreme rainfall-induced landslides in three watersheds in Taiwan, as well as the long-term evolution of landslides in the Laonong River watershed (LRW), based on multiannual landslide inventories during 2003–2014. Extreme rainfall-induced landslides were centralized beside sinuous or meandering reaches, especially those with l...

The nitrogenase gene cluster in cyanobacteria has been thought to comprise multiple operons; however, in Anabaena variabilis, the promoter for the first gene in the cluster, nifB1, appeared to be the primary promoter for the entire nif cluster. The structural genes nifHDK1 were the most abundant transcripts; however, their abundance was not controlled by an independent nifH1 promoter, but rathe...

Abstract Purifications of biologics can be improved using 3D printed stationary phases with perfectly ordered morphology. However, limited spatial resolution and lack porous materials have hindered application additive manufacturing in bioprocessing. To bridge this gap, digital light processing polymerization‐induced phase separation are combined to fabricate platform bed morphology at the micr...

Cleavage and polyadenylation is an essential processing reaction required for the maturation of pre-mRNAs into stable, export- and translation-competent mature mRNA molecules. This reaction requires the assembly of a multimeric protein complex onto a bipartite core sequence element consisting of an AAUAAA hexamer and a GU/U-rich downstream sequence element. In this study we have analyzed 3' end...

Firms use inventory and interruption insurance to manage disruption risk in their production chains. They also take preparedness actions to reduce the expected length of disruptions. We analytically explore these three measures in a two-stage production chain. We find that inventory and preparedness differ in their responses to insurance and to production-chain cost and risk characteristics. We...
