The eyes know it: FakeET -- An Eye-tracking Database to Understand Deepfake Perception
We present \textbf{FakeET}-- an eye-tracking database to understand human
visual perception of \emph{deepfake} videos. Given that the principal purpose
of deepfakes is to deceive human observers, FakeET is designed to understand
and evaluate the ease with which viewers can detect synthetic video artifacts.
FakeET contains viewing patterns compiled from 40 users via the \emph{Tobii}
desktop eye-tracker for 811 videos from the \textit{Google Deepfake} dataset,
with a minimum of two viewings per video. Additionally, EEG responses acquired
via the \emph{Emotiv} sensor are also available. The compiled data confirms (a)
distinct eye movement characteristics for \emph{real} vs \emph{fake} videos;
(b) utility of the eye-track saliency maps for spatial forgery localization and
detection, and (c) Error Related Negativity (ERN) triggers in the EEG
responses, and the ability of the \emph{raw} EEG signal to distinguish between
\emph{real} and \emph{fake} videos.Comment: 8 page

Standard reference sequences for submission of HLA genotyping for the 18th International HLA and Immunogenetics Workshop
The International human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and Immunogenetics Workshops (IHIWs) have fostered international collaborations of researchers and experts in the fields of HLA, histocompatibility and immunology. These IHIW collaborations have comprised many projects focused on achieving a variety of specific goals. The international and collaborative nature of these projects necessitates the collection and analysis of complex data generated in multiple laboratories, often using multiple methods of acquisition. Collection and storage of these data in a consistent way adds value to IHIW projects, which can be extended to future work. DNA-based genotyping data, especially HLA genotyping data, can be transmitted in the form of a Histoimmunogenetics Markup Language (HML) document. HML facilitates clear communication of a genotype and supporting metadata, such as, sequencing platform, laboratory assays, consensus sequence, and interpretation. Sequence information can be reported relative to known reference sequences, which add meaning and context to genotypes. Selecting the correct reference sequence for a given allele sequence is nuanced, and guidelines have emerged through collaborative community efforts such as Data Standards Hackathons. Here, we describe the guidelines established for the selection of reference sequences to be used in transmission of HLA (and MICA/MICB) genotyping data for the 18th IHIW.Transplantation and autoimmunit

Nanostructuring of molybdenum and tungsten surfaces by low-energy helium ions
The formation of metallic nanostructures by exposure of molybdenum and tungsten surfaces to high fluxes of low energy helium ions is studied as a function of the ion energy, plasma exposure time, and surface temperature. Helium plasma exposure leads to the formation of nanoscopic filaments on the surface of both metals. The size of the helium-induced nanostructure increases with increasing surface temperature while the thickness of the modified layer increases with time. In addition, the growth rate of the nanostructured layer also depends on the surface temperature. The size of the nanostructure appears linked with the size of the near-surface voids induced by the low energy ions. The results presented here thus demonstrate that surface processing by low-energy helium ions provides an efficient route for the formation of porous metallic nanostructures.

Fish assemblage stability over fifty years in the Lake Pontchartrain Estuary; comparisons among habitats using Canonical Correspondence Analysis
We assessed fish assemblage stability over the last half century in Lake Pontchartrain, an environmentally degraded oligohaline estuary in southeastern Louisiana. Because assemblage instability over time has been consistently associated with severe habitat degradation, we attempted to determine whether fish assemblages in demersal, nearshore, and pelagic habitats exhibited change that was unrelated to natural fluctuations in environmental variables (e.g., assemblage changes between wet and dry periods). Collection data from three gear types (trawl, beach seine, and gill nets) and monthly environmental data (salinity, temperature, and Secchi depth) were compared for four collecting periods: 1954 (dry period), 1978 (wet period), 1996–1998 (wet period), and 1998–2000 (dry period). Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) revealed that although the three environmental variables were significantly associated with the distribution and abundance patterns of fish assemblages in all habitats (with the exception of Secchi depth for pelagic samples), most fish assemblage change occurred among sampling periods (i.e., along a temporal gradient unrelated to changing environmental variables). Assemblage instability was the most pronounced for fishes collected by trawls from demersal habitats. A marked lack of cyclicity in the trawl data CCA diagram indicated a shift away from a baseline demersal assemblage of 50 yr ago. Centroid positions for the five most collected species indicated that three benthic fishes, Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus), spot (Leiostomus xanthurus), and hardhead catfish (Arius felis), were more dominant inWe assessed fish assemblage stability over the last half century in Lake Pontchartrain, an environmentally degraded oligohaline estuary in southeastern Louisiana.

Centroid positions for the five most collected species indicated that three benthic fishes, Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus), spot (Leiostomus xanthurus), and hardhead catfish (Arius felis), were more dominant in past demersal assemblages (1954 and 1978). A different situation was shown for planktivorous species collected by trawls with bay anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli) becoming more dominant in recent assemblages and Gulf enhaden (Brevoortia patronus) remaining equally represented in assemblages over time. Changes in fish assemblages from nearshore (beach seine) and pelagic (gill net) habitats were more closely related to environmental fluctuations, though the CCA for beach seine data also indicated a decrease in the dominance of M. undulatus and an increase in the proportion of A. mitchilli over time. The reduced assemblage role of benthic fishes and the marked assemblage change indicated by trawl data suggest that over the last half century demersal habitats in Lake Pontchartrain have been impacted more by multiple anthropogenic stressors than nearshore or pelagic habitats. past demersal assemblages (1954 and 1978).
