Ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves to view internal organs and tissues in the body. It is commonly used during pregnancy to monitor fetal growth and development. Key advantages are that it is quick, painless, non-invasive and does not use radiation. However, it has some limitations such as not being available everywhere and not being able to detect all cancers. The main components of an ultrasound machine are the transducer probe, computer, display and storage devices. Ultrasound has many medical, social and political implications.

The theory of reasoned action (TRA) and theory of planned behavior (TPB) models predict behavioral intentions and behaviors. The TRA model from 1967 examines behavioral intentions rather than attitudes, and the TPB added perceived behavioral control in 1988. The models assess behavioral, normative, and control beliefs that influence attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control and ultimately behavioral intention. While effective in explaining cognitive factors influencing decisions, the models omit external demographic and personality factors and may not predict behaviors with long delays between intention and action.

Cohort design by Dr Amita Kashyap Prof PSM

Dr. BMN college of Home Science

This document discusses cohort studies and their use in elucidating causal relationships. Cohort studies involve following groups of individuals over time to determine associations between exposures and outcomes. Key strengths are their ability to establish temporality and calculate risk ratios. Potential biases include selection, non-response, and information biases that can occur if exposed and unexposed groups are not comparable. Historical cohort studies using medical records are prone to information biases if data quality differs between groups.

This lab report examines the hypothesis that the reagent malonate will inhibit the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase. Malonate is a competitive inhibitor of succinate that binds similarly to the active site but cannot be dehydrogenated. The experiment measured absorbance of solutions containing varying concentrations of malonate and succinate over time. The results supported the hypothesis by showing lower absorbance readings, indicating less substrate conversion, in solutions with higher malonate concentrations. This demonstrates malonate's inhibitory effect on the important Krebs cycle reaction of succinate oxidation.

This is a 2-hour timed closed book exam. You can use a calculator (not your phone) for calculations. Questions: 1. Facebook remains the top choice of social media over all ages, with 65% using Facebook most often among those using social media sites. However, more visually oriented social networks such as Snapchat and Instagram continue to draw in younger audiences. When asked “Which one social networking site or service do you use most often?’’ here are the top sites chosen by Americans aged 12–24 who currently use any social networking site or service: Social Media Site Percentage Who Use Most Often Facebook 43% Instagram 18% Snapchat 15% Twitter 8% Google+ 4% Pinterest 3% a) What is the sum of the percentages for these top social media sites? What percent of Americans aged 12–24 use other social media sites most often? b) Make a bar graph to display these data. Be sure to include an “Other social media site’’ category. c) Would it be correct to display these data in a pie chart? Why or why not? 2. Table below gives the number of active nurses per 100,000 people in each state. a) Why is the number of nurses per 100,000 people a better measure of the availability of nurses than a simple count of the number of nurses in a state? b) Make a stemplot that displays the distribution of nurses per 100,000 people. The data will first need to be rounded. What units are you going to use for the stems? The leaves? You should round the data to the units you are planning to use for the leaves before drawing the stemplot. Write a brief description of the distribution. Are there any outliers?

Cohort design

1) Cohort studies begin with groups of individuals who are alike in many ways but differ with respect to exposure to a certain factor, thought to influence the probability of occurrence of a disease or other outcome. 2) The groups are followed over time and the researchers record who does or does not develop the disease. This allows calculation of disease rates in the exposed and unexposed groups. 3) Cohort studies can provide strong evidence about whether an association reflects a causal relationship by assessing disease development over time in relation to exposure. However, selection bias and information bias must be considered.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server

Antonios Katsarakis

This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots

Pablo Gómez Abajo

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots. To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters

Safe Software

Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they? Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality. You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...

Alex Pruden

Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security. Paper Link: https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/257
