The cost of inadequate sleep among on-call workers in Australia: A workplace perspective
Ā© 2018 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. On-call or stand-by is becoming an increasingly prevalent form of work scheduling. However, on-call arrangements are typically utilised when workloads are low, for example at night, which can result in inadequate sleep. It is a matter of concern that on-call work is associated with an increased risk of workplace injury. This study sought to determine the economic cost of injury due to inadequate sleep in Australian on-call workers. The prevalence of inadequate sleep among on-call workers was determined using an online survey, and economic costs were estimated using a previously validated costing methodology. Two-thirds of the sample (66%) reported obtaining inadequate sleep on weekdays (work days) and over 80% reported inadequate sleep while on-call. The resulting cost of injury is estimated at 1.71ā2.73 billion). This equates to 2.53 million per incident classified as full incapacity, and $1.78 million for each fatality. To the best of our knowledge this is the first study to quantify the economic cost of workplace injury due to inadequate sleep in on-call workers. Well-rested employees are critical to safe and productive workplace operations. Therefore, it is in the interest of both employers and governments to prioritise and invest far more into the management of inadequate sleep in industries which utilise on-call work arrangements
Knowledge Graph Embedding: An Overview
Many mathematical models have been leveraged to design embeddings for
representing Knowledge Graph (KG) entities and relations for link prediction
and many downstream tasks. These mathematically-inspired models are not only
highly scalable for inference in large KGs, but also have many explainable
advantages in modeling different relation patterns that can be validated
through both formal proofs and empirical results. In this paper, we make a
comprehensive overview of the current state of research in KG completion. In
particular, we focus on two main branches of KG embedding (KGE) design: 1)
distance-based methods and 2) semantic matching-based methods. We discover the
connections between recently proposed models and present an underlying trend
that might help researchers invent novel and more effective models. Next, we
delve into CompoundE and CompoundE3D, which draw inspiration from 2D and 3D
affine operations, respectively. They encompass a broad spectrum of techniques
including distance-based and semantic-based methods. We will also discuss an
emerging approach for KG completion which leverages pre-trained language models
(PLMs) and textual descriptions of entities and relations and offer insights
into the integration of KGE embedding methods with PLMs for KG completion
CompoundE: Knowledge Graph Embedding with Translation, Rotation and Scaling Compound Operations
Translation, rotation, and scaling are three commonly used geometric
manipulation operations in image processing. Besides, some of them are
successfully used in developing effective knowledge graph embedding (KGE)
models such as TransE and RotatE. Inspired by the synergy, we propose a new KGE
model by leveraging all three operations in this work. Since translation,
rotation, and scaling operations are cascaded to form a compound one, the new
model is named CompoundE. By casting CompoundE in the framework of group
theory, we show that quite a few scoring-function-based KGE models are special
cases of CompoundE. CompoundE extends the simple distance-based relation to
relation-dependent compound operations on head and/or tail entities. To
demonstrate the effectiveness of CompoundE, we conduct experiments on three
popular KG completion datasets. Experimental results show that CompoundE
consistently achieves the state of-the-art performance.Comment: 16 page
Geometric Generalisations of SHAKE and RATTLE
A geometric analysis of the Shake and Rattle methods for constrained
Hamiltonian problems is carried out. The study reveals the underlying
differential geometric foundation of the two methods, and the exact relation
between them. In addition, the geometric insight naturally generalises Shake
and Rattle to allow for a strictly larger class of constrained Hamiltonian
systems than in the classical setting.
In order for Shake and Rattle to be well defined, two basic assumptions are
needed. First, a nondegeneracy assumption, which is a condition on the
Hamiltonian, i.e., on the dynamics of the system. Second, a coisotropy
assumption, which is a condition on the geometry of the constrained phase
space. Non-trivial examples of systems fulfilling, and failing to fulfill,
these assumptions are given
Mechanical Systems with Symmetry, Variational Principles, and Integration Algorithms
This paper studies variational principles for mechanical systems with symmetry and their applications to integration algorithms. We recall some general features of how to reduce variational principles in the presence of a symmetry group along with general features of integration algorithms for mechanical systems. Then we describe some integration algorithms based directly on variational principles using a
discretization technique of Veselov. The general idea for these variational integrators is to directly discretize Hamiltonās principle rather than the equations of motion in a way that preserves the original systems invariants, notably the symplectic form and, via a discrete version of Noetherās theorem, the momentum map. The resulting mechanical integrators are second-order accurate, implicit, symplectic-momentum algorithms. We apply these integrators to the rigid body and the double spherical pendulum to show that the techniques are competitive with existing integrators
Mix-of-Show: Decentralized Low-Rank Adaptation for Multi-Concept Customization of Diffusion Models
Public large-scale text-to-image diffusion models, such as Stable Diffusion,
have gained significant attention from the community. These models can be
easily customized for new concepts using low-rank adaptations (LoRAs). However,
the utilization of multiple concept LoRAs to jointly support multiple
customized concepts presents a challenge. We refer to this scenario as
decentralized multi-concept customization, which involves single-client concept
tuning and center-node concept fusion. In this paper, we propose a new
framework called Mix-of-Show that addresses the challenges of decentralized
multi-concept customization, including concept conflicts resulting from
existing single-client LoRA tuning and identity loss during model fusion.
Mix-of-Show adopts an embedding-decomposed LoRA (ED-LoRA) for single-client
tuning and gradient fusion for the center node to preserve the in-domain
essence of single concepts and support theoretically limitless concept fusion.
Additionally, we introduce regionally controllable sampling, which extends
spatially controllable sampling (e.g., ControlNet and T2I-Adaptor) to address
attribute binding and missing object problems in multi-concept sampling.
Extensive experiments demonstrate that Mix-of-Show is capable of composing
multiple customized concepts with high fidelity, including characters, objects,
and scenes
The Revised TESS Input Catalog and Candidate Target List
We describe the catalogs assembled and the algorithms used to populate the
revised TESS Input Catalog (TIC), based on the incorporation of the Gaia second
data release. We also describe a revised ranking system for prioritizing stars
for 2-minute cadence observations, and assemble a revised Candidate Target List
(CTL) using that ranking. The TIC is available on the Mikulski Archive for
Space Telescopes (MAST) server, and an enhanced CTL is available through the
Filtergraph data visualization portal system at the URL
