Introduction \n\nThe majority of climate-change impacts assessments have tended to be framed in terms of future \ntime horizons, e.g. impacts by the middle or end of the twenty-first century [1,2]. However, \nwith international climate policy now largely focused on limiting warming to specific levels of \nglobal mean temperature such as 2°C [3] or 1.5°C [4], policy-relevant climate impacts assessments \nincreasingly need to be framed in terms of such warming levels. \nThere are two major research questions concerning the impacts of climate change at 1.5°C and \n2°C global warming, which are relevant to both mitigation and adaptation policy areas. \n\n(i) How much larger are the impacts at 2°C compared to 1.5°C? This is the primary question \narising from the Paris Agreement [4] and is relevant to mitigation policy, informing \njudgements and actions on holding the global temperature rise to ‘well below 2°C’ and \n‘pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C’. \n\n(ii) What regional climate conditions and related hydrological and ecological conditions \ncould occur at a particular level of global warming, such as 2°C? This is relevant to \nadaptation policy and planning—exploring the possible outcomes for these levels of \nwarming will help facilitate adaptation and improved resilience to account for a 1.5°C or \n2°C world. It is recognized that many adaptation decisions require information on timing \nof specific impacts or risks, but nevertheless, framing regional impacts assessments in \nterms of associated global warming levels (GWLs) may help provide context of the levels \nof climate change that may be avoidable or unavoidable (and hence require adaptation).

Comparatively, the popularity of the global warming discourse among social media \nusers did not increase apparently in terms of tweets volume and hashtag diversity, especially when \nconsidering the yearly increase in Twitter users. The reason for the observed shift in public discourse \ntoward climate change from global warming may be attributed to the high exposure of climate change \nin the media and scientific reports in recent years [13].

Conclusions**\n\nAs social media is gradually overtaking the role of legacy media providing a forum for public \ndiscussion, the semantic associations contained in social media discussions reflect and reinforce how \nindividuals portray global climate issues. By examining hashtag co-occurrence patterns on Twitter \nbetween 2009 and 2018, we identified distinct climate perceptions hidden behind two competing \nclimate discourses and discovered how these two discourses evolved. \n\nWe found that broad scientific, social, political, and international discussions are the topics \nof public climate discourse. Although the semantic difference between climate change and global \nwarming seems subtle, the differences in their cognitive associations are not trivial. Despite some \nshared concerns between the two discourses, “global warming” is more politicized and focuses more on \ngeneral phenomena, especially temperature abnormalities, whereas climate change is a more compact \ntopic with a more scientific perspective and tends to refer to specific issues. The temporal analysis \nrevealed that traditional political discussions decreased in both discourses but climate change started to \nbuild a discourse alliance with diverse domestic issues to show political intentions. Global warming’s \nassociations to extreme events and temperature change were suddenly strengthened around 2012. \nClimate change is becoming dominant compared with global warming in public discussions. Although \nthe two discourses are becoming increasingly similar in the rank order of climate concepts, a notable \ndiscrepancy still exists in the way in which they get concepts associated.

In this regard, it departs from earlier logicians, who relied mainly on \nnatural language.[203] Of particular influence was the development of first-order logic, which is usually \ntreated as the standard system of modern logic.[204] Its analytical generality allowed the formalization of \nmathematics and drove the investigation of set theory.

Reasoning is the \nactivity of drawing inferences. Arguments are the outward expression of inferences.[6] An argument is a \nset of premises together with a conclusion. Logic is interested in whether arguments are correct, i.e. \nwhether their premises support the conclusion.[7] These general characterizations apply to logic in the \nwidest sense, i.e., to both formal and informal logic since they are both concerned with assessing the \ncorrectness of arguments.[8] Formal logic is the traditionally dominant field, and some logicians restrict \nlogic to formal logic.[9] ", - "page_start": 2, - "page_end": 2, + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 1, "source_file": "wikipedia1.pdf" }, { "text": "**Classical**\n\nClassical logic is distinct from traditional or Aristotelian logic.

For deductive validity, it does not matter whether the premises or the \nconclusion are actually true. So the argument \"(1) all frogs are mammals; (2) no cats are mammals; (3) \ntherefore no cats are frogs\" is also valid because the conclusion follows necessarily from the premises.[65] \n\nAccording to an influential view by Alfred Tarski, deductive arguments have three essential features: (1) \nthey are formal, i.e. they depend only on the form of the premises and the conclusion; (2) they are a \npriori, i.e. no sense experience is needed to determine whether they obtain; (3) they are modal, i.e. that \nthey hold by logical necessity for the given propositions, independent of any other circumstances.[66] \n\nBecause of the first feature, the focus on formality, deductive inference is usually identified with rules of \ninference.[67] Rules of inference specify the form of the premises and the conclusion: how they have to be \nstructured for the inference to be valid. Arguments that do not follow any rule of inference are \ndeductively invalid.[68] The modus ponens is a prominent rule of inference.

An alternative definition sees logic as the study of logical truths.[14] A proposition is logically \ntrue if its truth depends only on the logical vocabulary used in it. This means that it is true in all possible \nworlds and under all interpretations of its non-logical terms, like the claim \"either it is raining, or it is \nnot\".[15] These two definitions of formal logic are not identical, but they are closely related.

To achieve \nthis goal, we undertake significant efforts in col- \nlecting datasets to conduct a broad comparison of \nmodels. We ensure that the datasets cover various \ntasks within a common, easy-to-use framework, \nand we create three new quality-checked datasets \nto enhance this collection. We select a diverse \nrange of models, including prominent French and \nmultilingual models deemed most efficient. The re- \nsults of our study already enable the community to \nmake informed model selections, whether for gen- \neral purposes or specific tasks. Additionally, our \nimplementation is open to the community and fea- \ntures a public leaderboard, allowing the results to \nevolve with new models or datasets. With this first \nlarge-scale comparison, we perform an in-depth \nanalysis of the results, confirming well-known find- \nings such as the correlation between performance \nand model/embedding dimensions and uncovering \ninteresting nuances. \n\nEmbeddings are dense vector representations that \ncapture the semantics of an input. The first emblem- \natic example is Word2Vec, introduced by Mikolov \net al. (2013). It consists of neural architectures \ntrained to learn high-quality word representations \nfrom contextual relationships in vast amounts of \ntext. Other models were proposed since then, lever- \naging the transformer architecture (Vaswani et al., \n2017) to produce both generic and contextualized \nword embeddings using self-attention. Many mod- \nels now exist with various architectures, mono- \nlingual or multilingual, pre-trained or fine-tuned \n(Naseem et al., 2021; Ding et al., 2023).

Ethayarajh (2019) measure how \nsimilar the embeddings for identical words are in \nevery layer, reporting that later BERT layers pro- \nduce more context-specific representations3. They \nalso find that BERT embeddings occupy a narrow \ncone in the vector space, and this effect increases \nfrom the earlier to later layers. That is, two ran- \ndom words will on average have a much higher \ncosine similarity than expected if embeddings \nwere directionally uniform (isotropic). Since \nisotropy was shown to be beneficial for static word \nembeddings (Mu and Viswanath, 2018), this might \nbe a fruitful direction to explore for BERT. \n\nAnother direction is information-theoretic prob- \ning. Pimentel et al. (2020) operationalize prob- \ning as estimating mutual information between the \nlearned representation and a given linguistic prop- \nerty, which highlights that the focus should be not \non the amount of information contained in a rep- \nresentation, but rather on how easily it can be ex- \ntracted from it.

Comparatively, the popularity of the global warming discourse among social media \nusers did not increase apparently in terms of tweets volume and hashtag diversity, especially when \nconsidering the yearly increase in Twitter users.

Though global warming has been commonly used \nsince the 1980s to describe the world-wide temperature rise, climate change is preferred by scientists to \nrefer a range of complex changes of climate [102].

Public domain and permissively licensed books*\n\n**Existing Project Example : The Pile v2**\n27 \n\nIn 2020, the nonprofit research group EleutherAI constructed and released The Pile — a large, \ndiverse, open dataset for AI training. EleutherAI developed it not only to support their own \ntraining of LLMs, but also to lower the barriers for others. 28 \n\nAlong with data drawn from the web at large, The Pile included books from three datasets. \nThe first dataset was the Books3 corpus referenced at the outset of this paper. The second \nand third books datasets were smaller: BookCorpus2, which is a collection of 17,868 books \nby otherwise unpublished authors; and a 28,752 books in the public domain and published \nprior to 1919, drawn from a volunteer effort to digitize public domain works called Project \nGutenberg.

Specifically, workshop \nparticipants mentioned that the Internet Archive, HathiTrust, and Google as entities that have \ndigitized books and could repurpose their use to build a books commons, although \nchallenges with using these datasets were noted. The Internet Archive is in the midst of \nlitigation brought by book publishers for its program for lending digital books; while not \ndirectly relevant to the issue of AI training using their corpus of books, this sort of litigation \ncreates a chilling effect on organizations seeking to make new uses of these digitized books. \nMeanwhile, Google encumbered HathiTrust’s digital copies with certain contractual \nrestrictions, which would need to be addressed to develop a books dataset for AI training, \nand Google itself is unlikely to share its own copies while it provides them a competitive \nadvantage. \n\nPerhaps as a matter of public policy, these existing copies could be made more freely \navailable. For instance, to ensure robust competition around AI and advance other public \ninterests, policymakers could remove legal obstacles to the sharing of digitized book files for \nuse in AI training. Alternatively, policymakers could go further and affirmatively compel \nsharing access to these digital book files for AI training.

Of \ncourse, a bigger dataset doesn’t necessarily mean a higher quality dataset for all uses of AI \nmodels; as HathiTrust shows, even a multimillion book corpus can skew in various \ndirections. Still, dataset size generally remains significant to an LLM’s performance – the \nmore text one can train on, or rather the more tokens for training the model, the better, at \n 37 \nleast along a number of performance metrics. \n\nWhile holding the potential for a broader and more diverse dataset, a key limitation in \npursuing this approach is that it is only feasible where relevant copyright limitations and \nexceptions exist.

Conclusion***\n\nThis paper is a snapshot of an idea that is as underexplored as it is rooted in decades of \nexisting work. The concept of mass digitization of books, including to support text and data \nmining, of which AI is a subset, is not new. But AI training is newly of the zeitgeist, and its \ntransformative use makes questions about how we digitize, preserve, and make accessible \nknowledge and cultural heritage salient in a distinct way. \n\nAs such, efforts to build a books data commons need not start from scratch; there is much \nto glean from studying and engaging existing and previous efforts. Those learnings might \ninform substantive decisions about how to build a books data commons for AI training. For \ninstance, looking at the design decisions of HathiTrust may inform how the technical \ninfrastructure and data management practices for AI training might be designed, as well as \nhow to address challenges to building a comprehensive, diverse, and useful corpus. In \naddition, learnings might inform the process by which we get to a books data commons — \nfor example, illustrating ways to attend to the interests of those likely to be impacted by the \ndataset’s development. 41 \n\nWhile this paper does not prescribe a particular path forward, we do think finding a path (or \npaths) to extend access to books for AI training is critical. In the status quo, large swaths of \nknowledge contained in books are effectively locked up and inaccessible to most everyone. \nGoogle is an exception — it can reap the benefits of their 40 million books dataset for \nresearch, development, and deployment of AI models. Large, well-resourced entities could \ntheoretically try to replicate Google’s digitization efforts, although it would be incredibly \nexpensive, impractical, and largely duplicative for each entity to individually pursue their own \nefforts. Even then, it isn’t clear how everyone else — independent researchers, entrepreneurs, \nand smaller entities — will have access. The controversy around the Books3 dataset \ndiscussed at the outset should not, then, be an argument in favor of preserving the status \nquo. Instead, it should highlight the urgency of building a books data commons to support an \nAI ecosystem that provides broad benefits beyond the privileged few.

Second, once a book is in digital text form, it must be converted into a text format \nthat is suitable for AI training. Text conversion tools transfer the content of books into complete text \nfiles, which is akin to the type of conversion that must be done between a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF \nfile format and a simple .txt format. This conversion is generally not adequate for the purpose of AI \ntraining; researchers have found that post-processing is required to ensure these text files are properly \nformatted for the purposes of tokenization.

First, the participant was not measured im- \nmediately before their World’s Strongest Man championship \nsuccess or other landmark performances, and it is entirely pos- \nsible the functional and structural characteristics we assessed \nmay have been even higher directly prior to peak performan- \nces. Despite using a wide-bore MRI scanner, due to the size of \nthe WSM’s shoulders and arms, it was not possible to scan their \nupper body. Thus, we were not able to investigate this aspect of \nthe WSM’s muscle morphology; although given that greater hy- \npertrophy occurs in the upper body compared with the lower \nbody (42), it is possible that the WSM’s upper-body muscle size \nrelative to untrained controls may have been even more pro- \nnounced than what we have documented for the lower body. \nIn the current study to provide the most representative data on \nuntrained control participants, the largest available untrained \ncontrol populations were used for each category of measure- \nments. Thus, different untrained control populations were \nused [e.g., comparison of quadricep and hamstring size (n ¼ \n102) vs. comparison of all the leg muscles (n ¼ 11)], which led to \nsome subtle discrepancies in the contrasts between these \ngroups and the WSM [e.g., quadriceps femoris/knee extensors, \nþ 127% and þ 99% relative to our large pooled (n ¼ 102) and \nsmaller (n ¼ 11) untrained control samples, respectively]. \nImportantly, however, this discrepancy does not appear to \nmeaningfully affect the interpretation of the findings. There \nwere subtle differences in the precise scanning and analysis \napproaches used with the reference populations featured in \nthis study, including 1) magnetic field strength [1.5 T (10, 11, 15) \nvs. 3.0 T, WSM and (13, 14)]; 2) the interslice distance used to \nquantify quadriceps femoris and hamstrings muscle volume \n[1.5 cm (10, 11, 14) vs. 2.0 cm, WSM and (13)]; 3) the calculation \nof muscle volume [area under the cubic spline ACSA-muscle \nlength curve: (10, 11, 14) vs. the equation detailed earlier: WSM \nand (13)]; and 4) the use of unilateral MRI measures derived \nfrom one limb (10, 11, 14, 15) or collapsed across two limbs \n[WSM and (13)]. However, it seems likely that these subtle dif- \nferences would have had at most a very minor effect on the \nfindings. Finally, it is also important to highlight that the differ- \nences documented between the WSM and comparative popula- \ntions for the various measures included in the current study \ncannot be assumed to be anything other than a combination of \nboth innate (genetic) and environmental (training and nutri- \ntion) factors.

First, the participant was not measured im- \nmediately before their World’s Strongest Man championship \nsuccess or other landmark performances, and it is entirely pos- \nsible the functional and structural characteristics we assessed \nmay have been even higher directly prior to peak performan- \nces. Despite using a wide-bore MRI scanner, due to the size of \nthe WSM’s shoulders and arms, it was not possible to scan their \nupper body. Thus, we were not able to investigate this aspect of \nthe WSM’s muscle morphology; although given that greater hy- \npertrophy occurs in the upper body compared with the lower \nbody (42), it is possible that the WSM’s upper-body muscle size \nrelative to untrained controls may have been even more pro- \nnounced than what we have documented for the lower body. \nIn the current study to provide the most representative data on \nuntrained control participants, the largest available untrained \ncontrol populations were used for each category of measure- \nments. Thus, different untrained control populations were \nused [e.g., comparison of quadricep and hamstring size (n ¼ \n102) vs. comparison of all the leg muscles (n ¼ 11)], which led to \nsome subtle discrepancies in the contrasts between these \ngroups and the WSM [e.g., quadriceps femoris/knee extensors, \nþ 127% and þ 99% relative to our large pooled (n ¼ 102) and \nsmaller (n ¼ 11) untrained control samples, respectively]. \nImportantly, however, this discrepancy does not appear to \nmeaningfully affect the interpretation of the findings. There \nwere subtle differences in the precise scanning and analysis \napproaches used with the reference populations featured in \nthis study, including 1) magnetic field strength [1.5 T (10, 11, 15) \nvs. 3.0 T, WSM and (13, 14)]; 2) the interslice distance used to \nquantify quadriceps femoris and hamstrings muscle volume \n[1.5 cm (10, 11, 14) vs. 2.0 cm, WSM and (13)]; 3) the calculation \nof muscle volume [area under the cubic spline ACSA-muscle \nlength curve: (10, 11, 14) vs. the equation detailed earlier: WSM \nand (13)]; and 4) the use of unilateral MRI measures derived \nfrom one limb (10, 11, 14, 15) or collapsed across two limbs \n[WSM and (13)]. However, it seems likely that these subtle dif- \nferences would have had at most a very minor effect on the \nfindings. Finally, it is also important to highlight that the differ- \nences documented between the WSM and comparative popula- \ntions for the various measures included in the current study \ncannot be assumed to be anything other than a combination of \nboth innate (genetic) and environmental (training and nutri- \ntion) factors.

As mentioned in [29], the corresponding \nnatural linewidth of the metastable state 4*s*4*p*3*P*1 is 320Hz. \nAs in the recently proposed active optical clock with atomic \nbeam [15], the velocity of the atoms in thermal atomic beam is \nabout 500m/s, and the length of the interaction region is about \n1mm, then the time for the atom to traverse each coherent- \ninteraction region is on the order of magnitude of 1 µs. \nIf \na bad cavity with κ is on the order of 107Hz, the relation \n1 is satisfied. Then when*g*is on the order of the \nκ/2 \nmagnitude of kHz, which can be easily achieved for current \ntechnique [30], from the linewidth expression of Eq.(16) the \norder of magnitude of linewidth is below 1 Hz. This means \nthe linewidth of a Ramsey laser can be more than two or- \nders of magnitude narrower than the atomic natural linewidth, \ntherefore our Ramsey method provides a new subnatural spec- \ntroscopy technique. And since it is stimulated-emission spec- \ntrum, it overcomes the difficulty in other subnatural linewidth \nspectroscopy schemes where the quick reduction of signal to \nnoise ratio is a formidable limit. We should point out that \nthis Ramsey laser does not escape the limitation of all active \noptical clock: in order to pump atoms to the excited state ef- \nfectively and to be stimulated emit photon during the lifetime \nof a metastable state, this new method will only be applicable \nto some special transitions [17]. \n\nτ− \n≫ ", - "page_start": 3, - "page_end": 3, + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 2, "source_file": "1001.2670.pdf" }, { "text": "where Ω*R*\nresonance, \nthe Rabi \n*DS T*=*g*2 ˜*Nass*/*I*0γ*ab*\n,*DRam*\nand \n*ab*, \n∆2 = ω \nω*b*2) presents the detuning in the free \n(ω*a*2 − \ndrift region.*p*is a parameter, which characterizes the pump- \ning statistics: a Poissonian excitation statistics corresponds to \n*p*= 0 , and for a regular statistics we have*p*= 1. \n\nis \n\n− \n\n*Laser linwidth:*Suppose the quantum fluctuation is small, \nthe evolution of the fluctuations can be obtained by making a \nlinearization of the c-number Langevin equations around the \nsteady-state solution.

Nueva Esperanza is located in the Maricunga Gold Belt near Copiapó, a regional mining centre in Northern Chile. The silver-rich mineralisation is hosted by the Esperanza high-sulphidation epithermal alteration system associated with the Cerros Bravos volcanic complex. The project consists of three well-defined miner- alised deposits and a number of undeveloped exploration targets. The main deposits are Arqueros, Chimberos and Teterita. Arqueros was previously mined on a limited scale by under- ground methods and Chimberos was exploited as an open pit mine, delivering about 40 million ounces of silver in 1998/99. All three deposits currently have a combined Mineral Resources of about 93 million ounces of silver equivalent or 1.6 million ounces of gold equivalent (EQ60)1. A feasibility study for a decision to mine the Arqueros portion of Nueva Esperanza was completed in late 2012, demonstrating that open pit mining at two million tonnes per year and processing by milling and agitation leaching in cyanide was technically feasible. Work remained to integrate the Teterita and Chimberos deposits into the project, as well as to test lower cost options for processing. Continued metallurgical testwork has shown that mineralisation from all three deposits by heap leaching is technically and economically feasible and the preferred alterna- tive for development. Environmental approvals to commence construction and mining at Nueva Esperanza were granted in July 2013 for the original Arqueros project. Work is underway to modify and update the environmental assessment to incorporate the heap leach process. 1 E\u0007quivalence is based on gold/silver price ratio of 60. Gold equivalence = gold content plus (silver content divided by 60), whereas Silver equivalent silver content plus (gold content multiplied by 60). |\n", - "page_start": 30, - "page_end": 30, + "page_start": 29, + "page_end": 29, "source_file": "ASX_KCN_2013.pdf" }, { "text": "Nueva Esperanza Silver / Gold Project \nThe Nueva Esperanza Silver / Gold Project \nadvanced during the year with an initial scoping \nstudy for a decision to mine the Arqueros and \nTeterita portions of Nueva Esperanza completed \nin late 2012.

This means that POMDP active inference models can now be easily \nfit to empirically observed behaviour using sampling, as well as variational methods. In \nthis article, we show how ActiveInference.jl makes building POMDP active inference \nmodels straightforward, and how it enables researchers to use them for simulation, as well \nas fitting them to data or performing a model comparison.

Julia is also natively \nauto-differentiable, which means it can solve what is called the two-language problem \n(i.e., that high-level languages often have to rely on lower-level languages, either for \nperformance or for auto-differentiability; this is the case with standard tools for cognitive \nmodelling, where languages like R [37] must rely on external languages like STAN [38] for \nBayesian model fitting). This means that ActiveInference, in conjunction with Turing [39], \nJulia’s powerful library for Bayesian model fitting, and its newly developed extension for \nbehavioural modelling, ActionModels, makes it possible to use cutting-edge Markov Chain \nMonte Carlo [40] methods, as well as variational methods [35], for Bayesian model fitting \nwith AIF. Crucially, this allows researchers to not only simulate AIF in a fast programming \nlanguage, but to also fit them to empirical behaviour, as is performed in cognitive modelling \nand computational psychiatry. Importantly, this also places AIF models in an ecosystem \nof other models for computational psychiatry so that it can easily be compared with \nmodels, like Hierarchical Gaussian Filters [41], and reinforcement learning models, like the \nclassic Rescorla–Wagner model [42].

In AIF for POMDPs and other generative models in general, \nboth perception and action are cast as Bayesian inferences (see Sections 2.2 and 2.3), as well \nas the learning of parameters of the generative model (see Section 2.4). Crucially, an agent’s \ngenerative model does not a priori have to be isomorphic to the true environment (i.e., \nthe data-generating process), although this will generally lead to a successful inference, \nand that the generative model will therefore often come to resemble the environment \nthrough learning. \n\nA discrete state-space POMDP in AIF is conventionally defined by five main sets of \nparameters:**A**,**B**,**C**,**D**and**E**[1,33], see Figure 1. Together, these parametrise the agent’s \nprior beliefs about the prior probability of different states in the environment, how states \nof the environment change and how they generate observations. Typically, they will be \nvectors, matrices or tensors; however, henceforth we denote them by their corresponding \nletter in bold. These make up the components needed for the agent to perform AIF.

MURREN President, CFO & Treasurer | | T o some, momentum is intangible – a product of fortune, a power that cannot be harnessed, and typically a short-lived sensation. Others wonder how they lost their momentum. At MGM MIRAGE, we are con- stantly thinking of better ways to maximize it. We believe momentum is a product of effort and excellence, a force which can be observed and measured, and something that can be a lasting and defining quality of a great company. Our 2004 results are a clear reminder of the power of moving forward. Our financial policies have long been designed to create and maintain momentum. By investing in our best assets and thinking of new ways to add value to our shareholders, we are able to redefine our Company’s place in history every year – and 2004 was a defin- ing time even by our exacting standards. So how did we get here? Last year, we discussed the importance of focus, and the laser-like precision with which we operated our resorts in 2004 affirms the power of our single-minded dedication to excellence. The hard work of our 40,000 employees resulted in a record year in almost every regard. Net revenues increased 10% over 2003 to a record $4.2 billion, with 12% REVPAR growth at our Las Vegas resorts; property-level EBITDA was an all-time record, nearly $1.5 billion, and 23% higher than the prior year. We exceeded the expectations of every market observer, and significantly beat our forecasts. And 2004 will not be a zenith year for your company – rather, we expect to continue our excellent operating performance, re-invest the resulting cash flow to stimulate future growth and move forward to new defining moments. How do we re-define a company that is already at the top of its industry? First, we continue to execute on our vision for our existing resorts – to continually evolve and increase the “Wow!” factor for our guests. This strategy requires investment, and we will ensure that our resorts are not only world-class, but best-in-class. Examples include the beautiful Spa Tower at Bellagio and KÀ, the latest spectacular creation in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil. |\n| GAMAL AZIZ President, MGM Grand GLENN BONNER Senior VP & CIO, GEORGE R.

MURREN President, CFO & Treasurer | | T o some, momentum is intangible – a product of fortune, a power that cannot be harnessed, and typically a short-lived sensation. Others wonder how they lost their momentum. At MGM MIRAGE, we are con- stantly thinking of better ways to maximize it. We believe momentum is a product of effort and excellence, a force which can be observed and measured, and something that can be a lasting and defining quality of a great company. Our 2004 results are a clear reminder of the power of moving forward. Our financial policies have long been designed to create and maintain momentum. By investing in our best assets and thinking of new ways to add value to our shareholders, we are able to redefine our Company’s place in history every year – and 2004 was a defin- ing time even by our exacting standards. So how did we get here? Last year, we discussed the importance of focus, and the laser-like precision with which we operated our resorts in 2004 affirms the power of our single-minded dedication to excellence. The hard work of our 40,000 employees resulted in a record year in almost every regard. Net revenues increased 10% over 2003 to a record $4.2 billion, with 12% REVPAR growth at our Las Vegas resorts; property-level EBITDA was an all-time record, nearly $1.5 billion, and 23% higher than the prior year. We exceeded the expectations of every market observer, and significantly beat our forecasts. And 2004 will not be a zenith year for your company – rather, we expect to continue our excellent operating performance, re-invest the resulting cash flow to stimulate future growth and move forward to new defining moments. How do we re-define a company that is already at the top of its industry? First, we continue to execute on our vision for our existing resorts – to continually evolve and increase the “Wow!” factor for our guests. This strategy requires investment, and we will ensure that our resorts are not only world-class, but best-in-class. Examples include the beautiful Spa Tower at Bellagio and KÀ, the latest spectacular creation in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil. |\n| GAMAL AZIZ President, MGM Grand GLENN BONNER Senior VP & CIO, GEORGE R.

Some facilities also participate in the “Seal of Testing Assurance” (STA) testing program. See “Resources” on page 11 to learn more. Remember: Your compost provider can help you pick the best compost mix for your needs. | | |\n| | | |\n| | | |\n", - "page_start": 6, - "page_end": 6, + "page_start": 5, + "page_end": 5, "source_file": "CompostGuide.pdf" } ] @@ -13118,62 +13118,62 @@ "top_chunk": [ { "text": "\n\nforces.

Modern compost facilities use the same natural biological composting process.

A quantity of particular \ninterest in this context is the spin chirality, an order pa- \nrameter which turned out to be extremely relevant in, \ne.g., magnetoelectric materials6, itinerant MnSi7, binary \ncompounds as FeGe8, glass transition of spins9, and XY \nhelimagnets, as Holmium, Terbium or Dysprosium10. In \nthe latter case, a new universality class was predicted be- \ncause a Z2 × SO(2) symmetry is spontaneously broken \nin the ordered phase2: In fact, when dealing with such \nsystems, in addition to the SO(2) symmetry of the spin \ndegrees of freedom ~Si, one has to consider also the Z2 \nsymmetry of the spin chirality κij ∝ \n\nThe study of low dimensional ", - "page_start": 1, - "page_end": 1, + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, "source_file": "1001.0510.pdf" }, { "text": "integral in the SCS at T = 0 and in the NS extrapolated \nto T = 0 and compare the cut off effect ∆f (ωc) to ∆WK \nterm. We also analyze the sign of ∆W (ωc) at large fre- \nquencies and discuss under what conditions theoretical \nW (∞) increases in the SCS. \n\nWe perform calculations for four models. First is a \nconventional BCS model with impurities (BCSI model). \nSecond is an Einstein boson (EB) model of fermions in- \nteracting with a single Einstein boson whose propaga- \ntor does not change between NS and SCS. These two \ncases will illustrate a conventional idea of the spectral \nweight in SCS being less than in NS. Then we con- \nsider two more sophisticated models: a phenomenological \n“marginal Fermi liquid with impurities” (MFLI) model \nof Norman and P´epin30, and a microscopic collective bo- \nson (CB) model31 in which in the NS fermions interact \nwith a gapless continuum of bosonic excitations, but in a \nd−wave SCS a gapless continuum splits into a resonance \nand a gaped continuum.

This \ngap affects fermionic self-energy in two ways: directly, via \nthe change of the dispersion of an intermediate boson in \nthe exchange process involving a CB, and indirectly, via \nthe change of the propagator of a CB. We remind our- \nselves that the dynamics of a CB comes from a particle- \nhole bubble which is indeed affected by ∆. \n\nSubstituting Eq 6 for χ(q, Ω) into the formula for the \nself-energy one obtains Σ′′(ω) in a SCS state as a sum of \ntwo terms31 The effect of a d−wave pairing gap on a CB has been \ndiscussed in a number of papers, most recently in31.

This is because the differentiation between \nIron Age groups in central and northern Europe is an order of magnitude \nlower (fixation index (*F*ST) = 0.1–0.7%; Extended Data Fig. 1) than, for \nexample, the more commonly studied hunter-gatherer, early farmer \nand steppe-pastoralist groups that shaped the ancestry landscape of ", - "page_start": 1, - "page_end": 1, + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, "source_file": "pubmed3.pdf" }, { "text": "These patterns are consistent with northward expansion of ancestry, \npotentially starting before the Viking Age, into the Jutland peninsula \nand Zealand island towards southern Sweden.

SMA BLAZARS**\n\nThe Submillimeter Array [4] consists of eight 6 m \nantennas located near the summit of Mauna Kea. The \nSMA is used in a variety of baseline configurations \nand typically operates in the 1mm and 850µm win- \ndows, achieving spatial resolution as fine as 0.25” at \n850µm. The sources used as phase calibrators for the \narray are compiled in a database known as the SMA \nCalibrator List2 [5]. Essentially a collection of bright \nobjects (stronger than 750 mJy at 230 GHz and 1 Jy \nat 345 GHz), these sources are monitored regularly, \nboth during science observations and dedicated ob- \nserving tracks.

However, \nmany AI applications are not perceived as AI: \"A lot of cutting edge AI has filtered into general \napplications, often without being called AI because once something becomes useful enough and common \nenough it's not labeled AI anymore.\"[2][3] \n\nVarious subfields of AI research are centered around particular goals and the use of particular tools. The \ntraditional goals of AI research include reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, learning, natural \nlanguage processing, perception, and support for robotics.[a] General intelligence—the ability to complete \nany task performed by a human on an at least equal level—is among the field's long-term goals.[4] To \nreach these goals, AI researchers have adapted and integrated a wide range of techniques, including \nsearch and mathematical optimization, formal logic, artificial neural networks, and methods based on \nstatistics, operations research, and economics.[b] AI also draws upon psychology, linguistics, philosophy, \nneuroscience, and other fields.[5] ", - "page_start": 1, - "page_end": 1, + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, "source_file": "wikipedia3.pdf" }, { "text": "Up to this point, most of AI's funding had gone to projects that used high-level symbols to represent \nmental objects like plans, goals, beliefs, and known facts.

This \"narrow\" and \"formal\" \nfocus allowed researchers to produce verifiable results and collaborate with other fields (such as statistics, \neconomics and mathematics).[344] By 2000, solutions developed by AI researchers were being widely \nused, although in the 1990s they were rarely described as \"artificial intelligence\" (a tendency known as \nthe AI effect).[345] However, several academic researchers became concerned that AI was no longer \npursuing its original goal of creating versatile, fully intelligent machines. Beginning around 2002, they \nfounded the subfield of artificial general intelligence (or \"AGI\"), which had several well-funded \ninstitutions by the 2010s.[4] ", - "page_start": 23, - "page_end": 23, + "page_start": 22, + "page_end": 22, "source_file": "wikipedia3.pdf" }, { "text": "**Philosophy**\n\nPhilosophical debates have historically sought to determine the nature of intelligence and how to make \nintelligent machines.[356] Another major focus has been whether machines can be conscious, and the \nassociated ethical implications.[357] Many other topics in philosophy are relevant to AI, such as \nepistemology and free will.[358] Rapid advancements have intensified public discussions on the \nphilosophy and ethics of AI.[357] ", - "page_start": 24, - "page_end": 24, + "page_start": 23, + "page_end": 23, "source_file": "wikipedia3.pdf" }, { "text": "Deep learning began to dominate industry benchmarks in 2012 and was adopted throughout the field.[11] \nFor many specific tasks, other methods were abandoned.[y] Deep learning's success was based on both \nhardware improvements (faster computers,[347] graphics processing units, cloud computing[348]) and \naccess to large amounts of data[349] (including curated datasets,[348] such as ImageNet). Deep learning's \nsuccess led to an enormous increase in interest and funding in AI.[z] The amount of machine learning \nresearch (measured by total publications) increased by 50% in the years 2015–2019.[306] \n\nIn 2016, issues of fairness and the misuse of technology were catapulted into center stage at machine \nlearning conferences, publications vastly increased, funding became available, and many researchers re- \nfocussed their careers on these issues.

King Charles II ruled a vast empire comprising Spain, Naples, Sicily, Milan, the Spanish Netherlands, and numerous \nSpanish colonies. He produced no children, however, and consequently had no direct heirs. \n\nThe principal claimants to the throne of Spain belonged to the ruling families of France and Austria. The French claim derived \nfrom Louis XIV's mother Anne of Austria (the older sister of Philip IV of Spain) and his wife Maria Theresa (Philip IV's eldest \ndaughter). Based on the laws of primogeniture, France had the better claim as it originated from the eldest daughters in two \ngenerations. However, their renunciation of succession rights complicated matters. In the case of Maria Theresa, nonetheless, the \nrenunciation was considered null and void owing to Spain's breach of her marriage contract with Louis. In contrast, no \nrenunciations tainted the claims of Emperor Leopold I's son Charles, Archduke of Austria, who was a grandson of Philip III's \nyoungest daughter Maria Anna. The English and Dutch feared that a French or Austrian-born Spanish king would threaten the \nbalance of power and thus preferred the Bavarian Prince Joseph Ferdinand, a grandson of Leopold I through his first wife \nMargaret Theresa of Spain (the younger daughter of Philip IV).

In this study, we have used a range of transgenic recombinase driver mouse lines to genetically molecularly defined subpopulations of DRG neurons and track their survival following traumatic nerve injury.

Following nerve injury, physiological changes in \nDRG neurons lead to hyperexcitability,57 which is a key \npathological driver of neuropathic pain.20,63 Concomitant \nmolecular changes in discrete subpopulations also occur, \nand these have recently been comprehensively described in \nsingle-cell37,44 and subpopulation-specific sequencing stud- \nies.3 These studies describe a transient and generalized \nreduction in the expression of subpopulation-specific genes \nfollowing nerve injury.3,37,44 \n\nthis diversity contributes to the ability of \n\nIn addition to molecular changes, there is a rich literature \ndescribing the frank loss of DRG neurons following traumatic ", - "page_start": 1, - "page_end": 1, + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, "source_file": "pubmed2.pdf" }, { "text": "| Abstract\nThere is a rich literature describing the loss of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons following peripheral axotomy, but the vulnera | bility |\n|---|---|\n| Abstract There is a rich literature describing the loss of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons following peripheral axotomy, but the vulnera | bility |\n| of discrete subpopulations has not yet been characterised. Furthermore, the extent or even presence of neuron loss following i has recently been challenged. In this study, we have used a range of transgenic recombinase driver mouse lines to genetically molecularly defined subpopulations of DRG neurons and track their survival following traumatic nerve injury. We find that sp nerve injury leads to a marked loss of cells containing DRG volume and a concomitant loss of small-diameter DRG neurons. Ne loss occurs unequally across subpopulations and is particularly prevalent in nonpeptidergic nociceptors, marked by expressi Mrgprd. We show that this subpopulation is almost entirely lost following spared nerve injury and severely depleted (by roughly following sciatic nerve crush. Finally, we used an in vitro model of DRG neuron survival to demonstrate that nonpeptid nociceptor loss is likely dependent on the absence of neurotrophic support. Together, these results profile the extent to which neuron subpopulations can survive axotomy, with implications for our understanding of nerve injury–induced plasticity and p Keywords: Sensory neuron, Neuron death, Transgenic reporter line, Neuropathic pain, Nerve injury | njury label ared uron on of 50%) ergic DRG ain. |\n", - "page_start": 1, - "page_end": 1, + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, "source_file": "pubmed2.pdf" }, { "text": "Figure 1.

If you have \nworked with most modern programming languages such as Python or Java, you are already familiar with \nthe concept of a namespace. The concept is identical in OWL. A namespace is used to avoid naming \nconflicts between different ontologies. For example, you may have a class called Network in an ontology \nabout telecommunications. You might also have a class called Network in an ontology about graph \ntheory. The two concepts are related but are different.

Some women might experience it as a new \nbeginning, whereas for others, it may be more critical (Deeks 2003). \nIn some cases, e.g. the menopause transition might perturb the \ncontinuity of one’s sense of self, inducing discrepancies in inter- \nnal self-coherence (e.g. the end of childbearing years, the aging \nprocess), which might increase the level of distress (Barca and De \nMarchis 2018).

Pubertal changes encompass dramatic \nbodily and neuroendocrine system changes, comprising—but not \nreduced to—changes in the reproductive, adrenal, and growth \naxes (Cameron 2004). Thus, adolescents might face at least four \nsources of uncertainty: (i) the uncertainty due to physiological \nalterations related to bodily changes and to modification in hor- \nmonal levels leading to sexual maturity; (ii) the uncertainty in self- \nidentity (i.e. the structure of self-awareness) and personal identity \n(i.e, the narrative diachronic self) (Drummond 2021), which might \nbe coupled with changes in body image and the development of \ngender identity; (iii) the uncertainty in affect regulation, with the \nemergence of new forms of affectivity as feelings of love and sex- \nual attraction toward a partner; and (iv) uncertainty in the social \ncontext, with respect to their social status and role expectations \nin the adult society. Such high levels of uncertainty might lead \nto a poorly defined sense of self, with unclear boundaries and a \nsense of emptiness. In this context, pain becomes a possible way \nto recover a bodily sense of self, and self-injurious behavior might \nbe instantiated as an attempt to reduce the rise in the levels of \nuncertainty in these (and potentially other) domains, toward the \ntransition to adulthood (see Miller et al. 2020 for a closely related \napproach on addiction).
