The use of machine learning to identify the correctness of HS Code for the customs import declarations
No full textAs an increasing volume of international trade activities around the world, the amount of cross-boarder import declarations grows rapidly, resulting in an unprecedented scale of potentially fraudulent transactions, in particular false commodity code (e.g., HS Code). The incorrect HS Code will cause duty risk and adversely impact the revenue collection. Physical investigation by the customs administrations is impractical due to the substantial quantity of declarations. This paper provides an automatic approach by harnessing the power of machine learning techniques to relief the burden of customs targeting officers. We introduced a novel model based on the off-the-shelf embedding encoder to identify the correctness of HS Code without any human effort. Determining whether the HS Code is correctly matched with commodity description is a classification task, so the labelled data is typically required. However, the lack of gold standard labelled data sets in customs domain limits the development of supervised-based approach. Our model is developed by the unsupervised mechanism and trained on the unlabelled historical declaration records, which is robust and able to be smoothly adapted by the different customs administrations. Rather than typically classifying whether the HS Code is correct or not, our model predicts the score to indicate the degree of the HS Code being correct. We have evaluated our proposed model on the ground-truth data set provided by Dutch customs officers. Results show promising performance of 71% overall accuracy.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Information and Communication Technolog
HS-stability and complex products in involution semigroups
Full text linkWhen does the complex product of a given number of subsets of a group generate the same subgroup as their union? We answer this question in a more general form by introducing HS-stability and characterising the HS-stable involution subsemigroup generated by a subset of a given involution semigroup. We study HS-stability for the special cases of regular ∗-semigroups and commutative involution semigroups.</p

Registration of (HS-182) and (HS-183) food grade soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) Germplasm
Full text linkHS-182 and HS-183 are food-grade soybean lines [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] with distinct seed protein profiles and food processing quality. HS-182 is a 7S β-conglycinin α’ and 11S glycinin A4 null with a high protein concentration of 45.7% and good processing quality. HS-183 is a 7S β-conglycinin α’ and 11S glycinin null with a protein concentration of 42.7% and poor tofu processing quality. They are adapted to areas of southwestern Ontario with 3100 or more crop heat units and have relative maturity groups of 2.5 and 2.4, respectively.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.

HS-1371, a novel kinase inhibitor of RIP3-mediated necroptosis
Full text linkNecroptosis is a type of programmed cell death that usually occurs under apoptosis-deficient conditions. Receptor-interacting protein kinase-3 (RIP3, or RIPK3) is a central player in necroptosis, and its kinase activity is essential for downstream necroptotic signaling events. Since RIP3 kinase activity has been associated with various diseases, the development of specific RIP3 inhibitors is an attractive strategy for therapeutic application. In this study, we identified a potent RIP3 inhibitor, HS-1371, by the extensive screening of chemical libraries focused on kinases. HS-1371 directly binds to RIP3 in an ATP-competitive and time-independent manner, providing a mechanism of action. Moreover, the compound inhibited TNF-induced necroptosis but did not inhibit TNF-induced apoptosis, indicating that this novel inhibitor has a specific inhibitory effect on RIP3-mediated necroptosis via the suppression of RIP3 kinase activity. Our results suggest that HS-1371 could serve as a potential preventive or therapeutic agent for diseases involving RIP3 hyperactivation © The Author(s) 201
Nonlinear scattering theory for a class of wave equations in Hs
No full textAbstractFor the semi-linear (higher order) wave equation and the nonlinear (higher order) Schrödinger equation, we show that the scattering operators map a band in Hs into Hs if the nonlinearities have (sub-)critical powers in Hs. The smoothness of the scattering operators and the uniform boundedness of strong solutions for the defocusing NLS equation are also shown provided that the nonlinearities have subcritical growth in H1. Moreover, the spatial decaying behavior of solutions in energy space for the defocusing NLS equation are obtained
Analysis of Plasmodium falciparum diversity in natural infections by deep sequencing.
Full text linkMalaria elimination strategies require surveillance of the parasite population for genetic changes that demand a public health response, such as new forms of drug resistance. Here we describe methods for the large-scale analysis of genetic variation in Plasmodium falciparum by deep sequencing of parasite DNA obtained from the blood of patients with malaria, either directly or after short-term culture. Analysis of 86,158 exonic single nucleotide polymorphisms that passed genotyping quality control in 227 samples from Africa, Asia and Oceania provides genome-wide estimates of allele frequency distribution, population structure and linkage disequilibrium. By comparing the genetic diversity of individual infections with that of the local parasite population, we derive a metric of within-host diversity that is related to the level of inbreeding in the population. An open-access web application has been established for the exploration of regional differences in allele frequency and of highly differentiated loci in the P. falciparum genome
Give Me Your Wired and Your Highly Skilled: Measuring the Impact of Immigration Policy on Employers and Shareholders
Full text linkThe paper links finance theory to labor economics and political economy in the context of migration and immigration policy. Most research treating the impact of immigration has focused on the consequences for employees as measured by wages, earnings, and employment. Less is known about the impact on employers. We lack answers to basic questions concerning the quantitative impact of immigrants on employer profit, and which employers are most likely to gain (suffer) increased (reduced) profits as a result of immigration. Using event study analysis, I measure the impact of immigration policy on the profit of employers and shareholders, particularly in those industries with high needs for skilled immigrants. The American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act (ACWIA) of 1998 nearly doubled the available number of H-1B visas for skilled foreign workers in FY 1999. It was the first time that the U.S. government raised the annual cap of H-1B visa since 1990. I focus on this bill and analyze whether and by how much its passage increased shareholders’ profit. The empirical results show that employers and shareholders in the top H-1B visa user industries enjoyed significant and positive returns with the passage of the ACWIA of 1998. Shareholders in high-tech industries (the top users of H-1B visa, 80% of total) such as "Computers and related equipment", and "Computer and data processing services" gained, respectively, an average 21.54% (15.88 if weighted) and 22.77% (18.11 if weighted) in cumulative excess returns in the month after the Act was passed, while industries with little need for H-1B visas experienced no significant changes in cumulative excess returns. Robustness testing including international factor comparisons, semiparametric modeling and a sample-split Chow structural break test support the results.skilled immigrants, immigration policy, employers, shareholders, event study, H-1B visa
