Pole analysis on the hadron spectroscopy of
In this paper we study the spectroscopy in the process of
. The final state interactions of coupled channel
~-~ ~-~ are constructed
based on K-matrix with the Chew-Mandelstam function. We build the amplitude according to the Au-Morgan-Pennington method. The event
shape is fitted and the decay width of is used to
constrain the parameters, too. With the amplitudes we extract out the poles and
their residues. Our amplitude and pole analysis suggest that the
should be molecule, the could be an S-wave
compact pentaquark state, and the structure around is caused by the
cusp effect. The future experimental measurement of the decays of and would further
help to study the nature of these resonances.Comment: updated to the published versio
A Case Study of Remote Monitoring of Health Status of the Elderly at Home in Taiwan
This case is a B2B2C model (service provider vs. community vs. the elderly) of innovative tele-care service provision. The service provider under study is the Chu-Shan Show-Chwan Hospital, a district hospital. The community consists of the social welfare institutions such as temples, community care centers, and nursing homes. The elderly are either residents of the community or the nursing homes. The community, as a service promoter, contributes to the increased acceptance compared to the traditional B2C model. Many communities under study and some social welfare organizations are highly interested in providing health care service to the elderly, and will support future operations if the results are satisfactory. Through this project, the district hospital can extend its primary care function to communities, build up trust among people, and improve the physician-patient relationshi
NYCU-TWO at Memotion 3: Good Foundation, Good Teacher, then you have Good Meme Analysis
This paper presents a robust solution to the Memotion 3.0 Shared Task. The
goal of this task is to classify the emotion and the corresponding intensity
expressed by memes, which are usually in the form of images with short captions
on social media. Understanding the multi-modal features of the given memes will
be the key to solving the task. In this work, we use CLIP to extract aligned
image-text features and propose a novel meme sentiment analysis framework,
consisting of a Cooperative Teaching Model (CTM) for Task A and a Cascaded
Emotion Classifier (CEC) for Tasks B&C. CTM is based on the idea of knowledge
distillation, and can better predict the sentiment of a given meme in Task A;
CEC can leverage the emotion intensity suggestion from the prediction of Task C
to classify the emotion more precisely in Task B. Experiments show that we
achieved the 2nd place ranking for both Task A and Task B and the 4th place
ranking for Task C, with weighted F1-scores of 0.342, 0.784, and 0.535
respectively. The results show the robustness and effectiveness of our
framework. Our code is released at github.Comment: De-Factify 2: Second Workshop on Multimodal Fact Checking and Hate

Vectors for multi-color bimolecular fluorescence complementation to investigate protein-protein interactions in living plant cells
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The investigation of protein-protein interactions is important for characterizing protein function. Bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) has recently gained interest as a relatively easy and inexpensive method to visualize protein-protein interactions in living cells. BiFC uses "split YFP" tags on proteins to detect interactions: If the tagged proteins interact, they may bring the two split fluorophore components together such that they can fold and reconstitute fluorescence. The sites of interaction can be monitored using epifluorescence or confocal microscopy. However, "conventional" BiFC can investigate interactions only between two proteins at a time. There are instances when one may wish to offer a particular "bait" protein to several "prey" proteins simultaneously. Preferential interaction of the bait protein with one of the prey proteins, or different sites of interaction between the bait protein and multiple prey proteins, may thus be observed.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>We have constructed a series of gene expression vectors, based upon the pSAT series of vectors, to facilitate the practice of multi-color BiFC. The bait protein is tagged with the C-terminal portion of CFP (cCFP), and prey proteins are tagged with the N-terminal portions of either Venus (nVenus) or Cerulean (nCerulean). Interaction of cCFP-tagged proteins with nVenus-tagged proteins generates yellow fluorescence, whereas interaction of cCFP-tagged proteins with nCerulean-tagged proteins generates blue fluorescence. Additional expression of mCherry indicates transfected cells and sub-cellular structures. Using this system, we have determined in both tobacco BY-2 protoplasts and in onion epidermal cells that <it>Agrobacterium </it>VirE2 protein interacts with the <it>Arabidopsis </it>nuclear transport adapter protein importin α-1 in the cytoplasm, whereas interaction of VirE2 with a different importin α isoform, importin α-4, occurs predominantly in the nucleus.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Multi-color BiFC is a useful technique to determine interactions simultaneously between a given" bait" protein and multiple "prey" proteins in living plant cells. The vectors we have constructed and tested will facilitate the study of protein-protein interactions in many different plant systems.</p
Nature of the in partial wave decomposition of scattering
In this letter, we perform partial wave decomposition on coupled channel
scattering amplitudes, --,
to study the resonance appears in these processes. Effective Lagrangians are
used to describe the interactions of four charmed vector mesons, and the
scattering amplitudes are calculated up to the next-to-leading order. Partial
wave projections are performed, and unitarization is implemented by Pad\'e
approximation. Then we fit the amplitudes to the invariant mass
spectra measured by LHCb and determine the unknown couplings. The pole
parameters of the are extracted as ~MeV and
~MeV. Our analysis implies that its quantum number
prefers to be . The pole counting rule and phase shifts show that it is
a normal Breit-Wigner resonance and hence should be a compact tetraquark.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
