DORIS-MAE-v1
No full textIn scientific research, the ability to effectively retrieve relevant documents based on complex, multifaceted queries is critical. Existing evaluation datasets for this task are limited, primarily due to the high costs and effort required to annotate resources that effectively represent complex queries. To address this, we propose a novel task, Scientific DOcument Retrieval using Multi-level Aspect-based quEries (DORIS-MAE), which is designed to handle the complex nature of user queries in scientific research.
Documentations for the DORIS-MAE dataset is publicly available at https://github.com/Real-Doris-Mae/Doris-Mae-Dataset. This upload contains both DORIS-MAE dataset version 1 and ada-002 vector embeddings for all queries and related abstracts (used in candidate pool creation). DORIS-MAE dataset version 1 is comprised of four main sub-datasets, each serving distinct purposes.
The Query dataset contains 100 human-crafted complex queries spanning across five categories: ML, NLP, CV, AI, and Composite. Each category has 20 associated queries. Queries are broken down into aspects (ranging from 3 to 9 per query) and sub-aspects (from 0 to 6 per aspect, with 0 signifying no further breakdown required). For each query, a corresponding candidate pool of relevant paper abstracts, ranging from 99 to 138, is provided.
The Corpus dataset is composed of 363,133 abstracts from computer science papers, published between 2011-2021, and sourced from arXiv. Each entry includes title, original abstract, URL, primary and secondary categories, as well as citation information retrieved from Semantic Scholar. A masked version of each abstract is also provided, facilitating the automated creation of queries.
The Annotation dataset includes generated annotations for all 165,144 question pairs, each comprising an aspect/sub-aspect and a corresponding paper abstract from the query's candidate pool. It includes the original text generated by ChatGPT (version chatgpt-3.5-turbo-0301) explaining its decision-making process, along with a three-level relevance score (e.g., 0,1,2) representing ChatGPT's final decision.
Finally, the Test Set dataset contains human annotations for a random selection of 250 question pairs used in hypothesis testing. It includes each of the three human annotators' final decisions, recorded as a three-level relevance score (e.g., 0,1,2).

Mapping the Discipline of the Olympic Games An Author-Cocitation Analysis
No full textThe authors conducted an author cocitation analysis on prominent authors writing about the Olympics during the 1990s. Author cocitation is an established bibliometric technique that can be used to measure the relative similarities of topics written about by the cited authors. This enables a visual representation of the “intellectual space” of the discipline, in this case the Olympics, to be created for the period under review. So core and peripheral research areas are identified, along with their major contributors. The representation appears as a two-dimensional cluster-enhanced map. Subject expertise was then applied to the results to place labels on the generated clusters of authors and their topics
The effects of urbanization on the avian gut microbiome
No full textThe gut microbiome influences and is influenced by the host, and can affect the host organism by contributing to health, development and immunity. Similarly, the host can influence this community; it’s makeup can vary with host species, locality, diet, social stressors, and environmental stressors. Some of these environmental stressors have arisen due to human-induced rapid environmental change, like urbanization. The physiology and behaviors of organisms that are able to persist in urban environments are often different from their non-urban congeners. Nutrition, development, and immunity—all of which are affected by the gut microbiome—are important factors that can determine survival in urban environments. Ecologists are therefore asking new questions about how an urban environment shapes gut microbial communities, and how the numerous services gut fauna provide affect host success in an urban context.
My dissertation research demonstrated that urbanization changes the bacterial communities of birds as well as provided correlational and experimental evidence for the biotic and abiotic traits driving these changes. Urban birds differed from rural ones by multiple measures. I also found evidence that noise pollution explains some variation in alpha diversity among urban and rural birds. Building upon this finding, I experimentally showed that the gut microbiome changes with exposure to noise, as does food intake and plasma corticosterone. However, contrary to my hypothesis, food intake and corticosterone were not the mediating factors between noise and the gut microbiome. All of this work was accomplished using noninvasive cloacal swabs to measure the gut microbiome, which my dissertation research found are reflective of the large intestine and capture individual variation in the microbiome. The work that comprised my dissertation will impact methods decisions in future microbiome studies in both free-living and captive birds. It will also contribute to the way we look at the relationships between host environment, host, and the gut microbiome, as well as influence how we think about urban ecology as a whole. Altogether, my dissertation research accomplished my goal to work in an emerging field at the interface of urban and microbial ecology
Shakespeare's Use of Music
No full textWilliam Shakespeare, of whom Ben Jonson said, "He was not of an age, but for all time!" was, as is any author, a product of his own era. In his works are reflected the manners, morals, and ideas of the Elizabethan period. Readers of literature are always, subconsciously at least, very aware of references pertaining to their own particular interests.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
Performing the Author
No full textchs wird in seinem Aufbau durch die drei Phasen des Selbstfindungsprozesses, genauer der Selbsterfindung der ‚Schriftstellerin Yū Miri‘ in ihren Werken und ihren medialen Selbstinszenierungen strukturiert. Es gelingt Iwata-Weickgenannt sehr überzeugend, das Sichtbarmachen der performativen Konstruiertheit von Identität im Werk und Leben Yūs herauszuarbeiten. Sie zeigt dabei auch, dass das Konzept der Performativität ein sehr geeigneter Bezugsrahmen für die Analyse von Identitätsbildungsprozessen ist.The Japanese-Korean author Yū Miri (born in 1968), still fairly unknown in Germany, belongs to those successful contemporary Japanese authors for whom it is typical to be known and celebrated not only for their texts but also for their excessive media presence. The multimedia staging by the author of her self as the ‘author Yū Miri’ sparks just as much interest in the Japanese public and literary scene as do her literary texts. In her book, published by the Munich-based house Iudicium Verlag, Iwata-Weickgenannt provides not only a comprehensive overview of Yū’s literary works published between the years of 1994 and 2005, but she also thematizes the medial representation of ‘Yū Miri’ in her analyses. In the first section of her book, Iwata-Weickgenannt provides a very good overview of the field out of which Yū’s identity problematic as a Japanese-Korean author arises. The second main section of the book is structured along the three phases of the self-discovery process, or rather the self-creation process, o
Allie Mae Edmondson letters, MSS.1844
No full textAbstract: Twelve love letters from Jim and an unidentified author to Allie Mae Edmondson of Heflin, Alabama.Scope and Content Note: Ten letters from Jim to Allie Mae Edmondson of Heflin, Alabama, the earliest postmarked 15 October 1917 and the last 12 February 1918. Jim was living in Anniston, Alabama, and working for a hardware company. The letters' contents deal mostly with how much he misses Allie Mae and how blue he is at being alone. There are two additional letters, the envelope of one of them postmarked Memphis, 27 October 1919. These appear to be in a different hand from the other ten, but the content is much the same: words of endearment for his sweetheart.Biographical/Historical Note: Allie Mae Edmondson was a resident of Heflin, Alabama
Vers / Mouvements: ethics of difference in French-language poetry and theatre from 1970-1982
No full textVers/Mouvementsis a cross-cultural exploration of movement in contemporary French-language poetry and theater from the 1970-1982. The study focuses on poets Anne-Marie Albiach (France) and Léopold Sédar Senghor (Senegal), and playwrights Werewere Liking (Cameroon/Ivory Coast) and Ariane Mnouchkine and her ThéâtreduSoleil(France). Major texts produced in the second half of the 20thcentury are often characterized as ambiguous, apathetic and open to suspicion. Yet if we turn toward what French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari call “minor literature” –works that use language as a “heterogeneous, variable reality” where “authors are foreigners in their own tongue” –we discover affirmations of specificity, vitality and intensity, conveyed in each instance by a new emphasis on movement that involves dance, ritual and performance. Through their sensational movements, and in a surprising turn from “cultural vacuity” and “intellectual nihilism,” the primary works of the dissertation not only gesture toward, but also put into motion andpracticeperformances of difference. Such diverse and dynamic performances, while remaining particular to the work from which they emerge, are spurred through a movement or movements –encounters –that manifest in, through and even beyond the literarytext. These encounters are remarkable for several reasons: they are sensory/corporeal; they span the French-speaking globe; and they occur cross-genres and even shatter the notion of literary genre. Further, from these encounters, ethics emerge. These embodied and cosmopolitan ethics are unlike conventional ethics, for they do not correspond to a set of rules or obligations. They “move” by way of active practices, and transform how wemove, know, become and live in the world. It is in these ways and through minor tones, therefore, that the texts in Vers/Mouvementsmove as practices. In turn, the practices that emerge from the texts actively and affectively carve out ways for a new, intense and life-affirming future àvenir.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Jodie Mae Barke
