We introduce a new approach—acoustic restoration—focusing on the applied utility of soundscapes for restoration, recognizing the rich ecological and social values they encapsulate. Broadcasting soundscapes in disturbed areas can accelerate recolonization of animals and the microbes and propagules they carry; long duration recordings are also ideal sources of data for benchmarking restoration initiatives and evocative engagement tools.

Integrated Response

The integrated response of the human proteome to re-entry g-loads following long-term space missions was studied in 13 male cosmonauts at the age of 44 ± 6 years. Examination at the landing site discovered local petechial hemorrhages into soft tissues of the back and lower legs. The paper presents a new approach to evaluation of petechia and soft tissue hemorrhages in cosmonauts on return to Earth. Proteomic analysis was performed with the use of LC-MS. Bioinformation analysis was made using Perseus, PubMed, Uniprot and ANDSystem software. Nine out of 19 significantly different (p < 0.05) proteins were related to vascular injuries directly. We described proteins with a primarily protecting effect against endothelial cells apoptosis and augmentation of vascular permeability, proteins that are responsible for blood rheology and proteins antagonistic to the main triggers of ischeamia-reperfusion injuries of the lungs, liver and other parenchymal organs.

ABSTRACTSolar cell using profiled poly-Si:H by HWCVD as i-layer in the configuration SS/n-µSi:H(PECVD)/i-poly-Si:H(HWCVD)/p-µc-Si:H(PECVD)/ITO showed 3.7% efficiency. A current of 23.6 mA/cm2 was generated in only 1.5 µm thick poly-Si:H i-layer grown at ∼5Å/s. TFTs made with the poly-Si:H films (grown at ≥ 9Å/s) exhibited remarkable stability to long duration of 23 hours of gate bias stress of ∼lMV/cm. A saturation mobility of 1.5 cm2/Vs for the TFT has been achieved. Films made at low hydrogen dilution (Poly2) showed device quality (purely intrinsic nature, ambipolar diffusion length of 568 nm, only (220) oriented growth and low ESR defect density of <1017/cm3with complete absence of signal due to conduction electrons) but with an incubation phase of amorphous initial growth, whereas the films made at high hydrogen dilution (Polyl) had a polycrystalline initial growth, though with higher defect density, incorporated oxygen and randomly oriented grains. Poly2 films are compact and hydrogen bonding is at compact Si-H sites manifested as 2000 cm−1IR vibration and high temperature hydrogen evolution peak. Exchange interaction of spins and spin pairing are observed while increasing defects in such a compact structure. A new approach has been used to integrate these two regimes of growth to make profiled poly-Si:H layers. The new layers show good electronic properties as well as complete elimination of incubation phase.

Abstract With the growing availability of different knowledge graphs in a variety of domains, question answering over knowledge graph (KG-QA) becomes a prevalent information retrieval approach. Current KG-QA methods usually resort to semantic parsing, search or neural matching models. However, they cannot well tackle increasingly long input questions and complex information needs. In this work, we propose a new KG-QA approach, leveraging the rich domain context in the knowledge graph. We incorporate the new approach with question and answer domain context descriptions. Specifically, for questions, we enrich them with users’ subsequent input questions within a session and expand the input question representation. For the candidate answers, we equip them with surrounding context structures, i.e., meta-paths within the targeting knowledge graph. On top of these, we design a cross-attention mechanism to improve the question and answer matching performance. An experimental study on real datasets verifies these improvements. The new approach is especially beneficial for specific knowledge graphs with complex questions.
