Unsupervised learning models-based CRM anomaly detection using GPU
Deep learning models have improved several business intelligence tools like Customer relationship Management(CRM) systems. However, those models have increased the need for advanced computational capacity and infrastructure. Modern accelerators are starting to have floating-point precision arithmetic problems generated by highly streamlined systems, powered by the need to process an ever-increasing volume of data and increasingly complex models to attend to the necessity to identify customer data that allow consolidating products or services. We focus on CRM anomalies detection using GPU(Graphics Processor Unit) because they are a relevant source of money drain for organizations and directly affect the relationship between clients and suppliers. Our results present the combination of deep learning models with a computational structure that could access by organizations, but with a combination that reduces the number of features that achieve answers to CRM system.#AnáliticaDeDatosLos modelos de aprendizaje profundo han mejorado varias herramientas de inteligencia empresarial, como los sistemas de gestión de relaciones con el cliente (CRM).

Un análisis de la pobreza en Colombia basado en aprendizaje automático
El articulo analiza la pobreza en Colombia utilizando herramientas de aprendizaje automático supervisado a partir de los datos de Hogares, Personas y Vivienda del DANE para el periodo 2016 a 2019. Se examina la percepción de factores que influyen en la pobreza teniendo en cuenta las especificidades estructurales que conforman la medición de la pobreza, como la salud, el trabajo y la educación. El aporte de esta investigación es comparar el Índice de pobreza multidimensional con los factores relevantes de la situación de pobreza mediante el uso de herramientas aprendizaje automático. Los hallazgos revelan que el algoritmo XGBoost identifica los indicadores que causan la pobreza y permite proponer un marco de trabajo para lucha contra la pobreza.

Sperm DNA integrity in relation to exposure to environmental perfluoroalkyl substances – A study of spouses of pregnant women in three geographical regions.
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) can interfere with male reproductive function, but evidence in humansis limited. Six hundred four fertilemen(199 from Greenland, 197 from Poland and 208 from Ukraine) wereenrolled in the study. We measured four PFASs in serum (PFOS, PFOA, PFNA and PFHxS) and concurrentDNA damage in spermatozoa by sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) and in situ terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay, apoptotic markers in semen (Fas-receptorand Bcl-xL), and reproductive hormones in serum. No association between PFASs and SCSA, apoptoticmarkers or reproductive hormones emerged.Weobserved a slight increase in SHBG and TUNEL-positivitywith increased PFOA exposure in men from Greenland. Thus, consistent evidence that PFAS exposureinterferes with sperm DNA fragmentation, apoptosis or reproductive hormones was not found

Quantum Monte Carlo Calculations of Pion Scattering from Li
We show that the neutron and proton transition densities predicted by recent
quantum Monte Carlo calculations for A=6,7 nuclei are consistent with pion
scattering from 6Li and 7Li at energies near the Delta resonance. This has
provided a microscopic understanding of the enhancement factors for quadrople
excitations, which were needed to describe pion inelastic scattering within the
nuclear shell model of Cohen and Kurath.Comment: 10 pages, REVTeX, 3 postscript figures; added calculation of elastic
and inelastic pion scattering from 6Li at multiple energie
Atomic Parity Nonconservation: Electroweak Parameters and Nuclear Structure
There have been suggestions to measure atomic parity nonconservation (PNC)
along an isotopic chain, by taking ratios of observables in order to cancel
complicated atomic structure effects. Precise atomic PNC measurements could
make a significant contribution to tests of the Standard Model at the level of
one loop radiative corrections. However, the results also depend upon certain
features of nuclear structure, such as the spatial distribution of neutrons in
the nucleus. To examine the sensitivity to nuclear structure, we consider the
case of Pb isotopes using various recent relativistic and non-relativistic
nuclear model calculations. Contributions from nucleon internal weak structure
are included, but found to be fairly negligible. The spread among present
models in predicted sizes of nuclear structure effects may preclude using Pb
isotope ratios to test the Standard Model at better than a one percent level,
unless there are adequate independent tests of the nuclear models by various
alternative strong and electroweak nuclear probes. On the other hand,
sufficiently accurate atomic PNC experiments would provide a unique method to
measure neutron distributions in heavy nuclei.Comment: 44 pages, INT Preprint DOE/ER/40561-050-INT92-00-1

Congenital deficiency reveals critical role of ISG15 in skin homeostasis
Ulcerating skin lesions are manifestations of human ISG15 deficiency, a type I interferonopathy. However, chronic inflammation may not be their exclusive cause. We describe two siblings with recurrent skin ulcers that healed with scar formation upon corticosteroid treatment. Both had a homozygous nonsense mutation in the ISG15 gene, leading to unstable ISG15 protein lacking the functional domain. We characterized ISG15(-/-) dermal fibroblasts, HaCaT keratinocytes, and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived vascular endothelial cells. ISG15-deficient cells exhibited the expected hyperinflammatory phenotype, but also dysregulated expression of molecules critical for connective tissue and epidermis integrity, including reduced collagens and adhesion molecules, but increased matrix metalloproteinases. ISG15(-/-) fibroblasts exhibited elevated ROS levels and reduced ROS scavenger expression. As opposed to hyperinflammation, defective collagen and integrin synthesis was not rescued by conjugation-deficient ISG15. Cell migration was retarded in ISG15(-/-) fibroblasts and HaCaT keratinocytes, but normalized under ruxolitinib treatment. Desmosome density was reduced in an ISG15(-/-) 3D epidermis model. Additionally, there were loose architecture and reduced collagen and desmoglein expression, which could be reversed by treatment with ruxolitinib/doxycycline/TGF-beta 1. These results reveal critical roles of ISG15 in maintaining cell migration and epidermis and connective tissue homeostasis, whereby the latter likely requires its conjugation to yet unidentified targets
Microscopic calculations of medium effects for 200-MeV (p,p') reactions
We examine the quality of a G-matrix calculation of the effective
nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction for the prediction of the cross section and
analyzing power for 200-MeV (p,p') reactions that populate natural parity
states in O, Si, and Ca. This calculation is based on a
one-boson-exchange model of the free NN force that reproduces NN observables
well. The G-matrix includes the effects of Pauli blocking, nuclear binding, and
strong relativistic mean-field potentials. The implications of adjustments to
the effective mass ansatz to improve the quality of the approximation at
momenta above the Fermi level will be discussed, along with the general quality
of agreement to a variety of (p,p') transitions.Comment: 36 pages, TeX, 18 figure
