It presents previous research analyzing CPVs as similar to verbs of seeming. It then outlines a corpus-based study of these CPVs and complementizers using the SOAP corpus to investigate how they are similar and different in discourse. The study employs behavioral profile methodology, including retrieving examples, manual coding, statistical analysis, and cluster analysis.
Mr. Nakamura, owner of Nakamura Lacquer Company, is considering expanding his business outside of Japan. Two American companies, National China Company and Semmelback, Semmelbach and Whittacker, have approached Mr. Nakamura with proposals. National China Company offers to purchase 400,000 lacquer sets annually at a 5% premium, but would require using their brand name. Semmelback, Semmelbach and Whittacker offers an exclusive 5-year representation and $1.5 million sponsorship for promotion, but with high commission rates and profit sharing. Mr. Nakamura must decide whether to accept one of these offers or explore other expansion options like targeting a new market or introducing new product
Revealing the Attack Operations Targeting Japan by Shusei Tomonaga & Yuu Nak...CODE BLUE
Japan is recently experiencing a rise in targeted attacks. However, it is rare that details of such attacks are revealed. Under this circumstance, JPCERT/CC has been investigating the attack operations targeting Japanese organizations including the government and leading enterprises. We have especially been tracking two distinct cases over a prolonged period.
The first case, which became public in 2015, drew nationwide attention for victimizing several Japanese organizations. In this case, the attacker conducts sophisticated attacks through network intrusion and targeting weak points of the organizations.
The second case has been continuously targeting certain Japanese organizations since 2013. Although this case has not drawn as much attention, the attacker has advanced techniques and uses various interesting attack methods.
This presentation will introduce the above two attack operations, including attack techniques we revealed through prolonged investigation, the malware/tools being used, as well as useful techniques/tools for analyzing related malware.
Yugo Nakamura is a Japanese web designer known for his minimalist and timeless designs.

This thesis investigates the local mechanical environment of bone at the cellular level and its relationship to gene expression and remodeling activity. Specifically, it develops computational tools to analyze experimental data from a mouse study. The tools extract strain energy density values from specific volumes of interest within trabecular bone regions and correlate these local mechanical measures with corresponding gene expression data. Analyzing local remodeling patterns over time helps identify trends in bone formation and resorption within regions. The goal is to gain insights into the local mechanosensing capacity of osteocytes and their role in orchestrating the bone remodeling process.
This PhD thesis examines how animal associations and introduced species impact marine ecosystems. It analyzes how the diversity, cover, and identity of sessile species predicts associated mobile fauna. Experiments varied the number and type of habitat-forming species to see how this affected biodiversity. The thesis found that sessile species diversity and cover did not reliably predict mobile composition. Host identity and functional type were better predictors of associated fauna. Introduced habitat-forming species can significantly impact biodiversity in marine ecosystems.

While some argue the family is losing its functions, others believe the family still performs important roles. Changes like increased individualism and women working have reduced some family functions. However, families still provide economic support, care for young/elderly, and socialize children. Whether the family is truly losing functions depends on how its roles are defined in modern society.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

CPVs, in particular look and sound, are quite similar, though not identical,
to verbs of seeming, in particular when they are with sentential
complements.(Gisborne 2010, Matushansky 2002, Taniguchi 2005, Biber
et al. 1999)
(3) a. It seemed/appeared that / as if he was trying to hide his
true identity.
b. It looked/sounded as if he was trying to hide his true
identity.

Interpretation of cluster dendrogram
Complementizers have a greater impact on clustering than verbs.
(like vs. as if (though))
seem like is more similar to look like than seem as if (though).
as if and as though behave in a very similar way.
seem and appear form a cluster (verbs of seeming)
look and sound form a cluster. (verbs of perception)
Since as if and as though are similar, they are put together for simplicity
and clarity.
