description: We study the light absorption and energy transferring in a donor-acceptor system with a bionic structure. In the optimal case with uniform couplings, it is found that the quantum dynamics of this seemingly complicated system is reduced as a three-level system of $Λ$-type. With this observation, we show that the dark state based electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) effect could enhance the energy transfer efficiency, through a quantum interference effect suppressing the excited population of the donors. We estimate the optimal parameters of the system to achieve the maximum output power. The splitting behavior of maximum power may be used to explain the phenomenon that the photosynthesis systems mainly absorb two colors of light.

description: We study electron pairing in a one-dimensional (1D) fermion gas at zero temperature under zero- and finite-range, attractive, two-body interactions. The binding energy of Cooper pairs (CPs) with zero total or center-of-mass momentum (CMM) increases with attraction strength and decreases with interaction range for fixed strength. The excitation energy of 1D CPs with nonzero CMM display novel, unique properties. It satisfies a dispersion relation with \textit{two} branches: a\ phonon-like \textit{linear }excitation for small CP CMM; this is followed by roton-like \textit{quadratic} excitation minimum for CMM greater than twice the Fermi wavenumber, but only above a minimum threshold attraction strength. The expected quadratic-in-CMM dispersion \textit{in vacuo }when the Fermi wavenumber is set to zero is recovered for \textit{any% } coupling. This paper completes a three-part exploration initiated in 2D and continued in 3D.

description: Matrix element $U_{τN}$ of sterile neutrino N mixing with $ν_τ$ is the least constrained in the literature among the three $U_{αN}$ ($α=e,μ,τ$) mixing parameters characterizing the sterile neutrino phenomenology. We study the contribution of massive dominantly sterile neutrinos to purely leptonic $τ$-decays and semileptonic decays of $τ$ and K, D mesons. We consider some decays allowed in the Standard Model (SM) as well as Lepton Flavor and Lepton Number Violating (LFV, LNV) decays forbidden in the SM. From the existing experimental data on the branching ratios of these processes we derived new limits on $U_{τN}$ more stringent than the ones existing in the literature. These limits are extracted in a model independent way without any ad hoc assumptions on the relative size of the three different sterile neutrino mixing parameters.

Implementation

description: Legal frameworks have been identified as an area that needs to be considered when implementing the EOSC. EOSC aims to facilitate sharing of data and resources across Europe and realise the vision of FAIR data. To realise this, legal frameworks may need to be aligned, and potential legal barriers considered. This deliverable show that not only the legislation also but also institutional polices implemented to ensure legal conformance that is a barrier for implementing cross border data sharing.
 To illustrate this, the delivery engages with a number of use cases developed in Work Package 5 of EOSC-Nordic. Representatives for the use cases have been interviewed to show and exemplify what kind of legal issues have been recognized and how aforementioned issues may affect sharing data across the borders. This deliverable is as such not a comprehensive legal review of national legislations but compliments other ongoing efforts regarding screening of existing legislation and regulatory issues. Key findings of the study are:
 • Legislation as such is not always a barrier for cross-border data sharing
 • Organisations have restrictive policies for cross-border data sharing
 • Support for tackling legal issues and processes to handle data from the beginning to enable cross-border data sharing is needed
 This deliverable is the first of two deliverables from the EOSC-Nordic projects exploring the legal framework for open science in the Baltics and Nordics. The present deliverable presents analysis of the current state of play. A future deliverable will propose policy recommendations.

description: We present an analysis of the first space-based far-IR-submm observations of M 33, which measure the emission from the cool dust and resolve the giant molecular cloud complexes. With roughly half-solar abundances, M33 is a first step towards young low-metallicity galaxies where the submm may be able to provide an alternative to CO mapping to measure their H$_2$ content. In this Letter, we measure the dust emission cross-section $σ$ using SPIRE and recent CO and \HI\ observations; a variation in $σ$ is present from a near-solar neighborhood cross-section to about half-solar with the maximum being south of the nucleus. Calculating the total H column density from the measured dust temperature and cross-section, and then subtracting the \HI\ column, yields a morphology similar to that observed in CO. The H$_2$/\HI\ mass ratio decreases from about unity to well below 10% and is about 15% averaged over the optical disk. The single most important observation to reduce the potentially large systematic errors is to complete the CO mapping of M 33.

description: The magnetic properties and critical behavior of both ferromagnetic pure and metallic nanoparticles having concurrently atomic disorder, dilution and competing interactions, are studied in the framework of an Ising model. We have used both the free energy variational principle based on the Bogoliubov inequality and Monte Carlo simulation. As a case of study for random diluted nanoparticles we have considered the Fe$_{0.5}$Mn$_{0.1}$Al$_{0.4}$ alloy characterized for exhibiting, under bulk conditions, low temperature reentrant spin glass (RSG) behavior and for which experimental and simulation results are available. Our results allow concluding that the variational model is successful in reproducing features of the particle size dependence of the Curie temperature for both pure and random diluted particles. In this last case, low temperature magnetization reduction was consistent with the same type of RSG behavior observed in bulk in accordance with the Almeida-Thouless line at low fields and a linear dependence of the freezing temperature with the reciprocal of the particle diameter was also obtained. Computation of the correlation length critical exponent yielded the values $ν=0.926\pm 0.004$ via Bogoliubov and$ ν=0.71\pm 0.04$ via Monte Carlo. This fact indicates that even though thermodynamical models can be indeed used in the study of nanostructures and they can reproduce experimental features, special attention must be paid regarding critical behavior. From both approaches, differences in the $ν$ exponent with respect to the pure Ising model agree with Harris and Fisher arguments.

description: In 2015, Kyoto University, Japan, adopted the Kyoto University Open Access Policy, which mandates faculty members to make their scholarly articles public on the institutional repository, Kyoto University Research Information Repository (KURENAI). In 2020, five years after the implementation of the open access policy, we investigated the effects of the same. This paper presents a bibliometric analysis to reveal the effects of open access, comparing scholarly articles deposited to the KURENAI with their counterparts (i.e., scholarly articles not deposited to the KURENAI) to examine whether a citation advantage exists. The analysis revealed that the KURENAI has contributed to increasing the number of citations of scholarly articles not co-authored with foreign researchers and scholarly articles in different fields. Thus, we argue that institutional repositories foster interdisciplinary research. We also observed that scholarly articles that are open access only on the KURENAI have been downloaded more frequently than those that are also open access on other platforms (e.g., open access journals and other repositories). Owing to a large number of submissions, it may take some time until a deposited article becomes available for access on the KURENAI. Accordingly, it would be helpful for researchers and libraries to introduce a system that, when processing deposited scholarly articles, prioritizes the publication of articles that are not openly accessible on other platforms.

description: Policy initiatives such as the European Research Area and infrastructures such as the European Open Science Cloud include calls for a reform of research assessment, recognition, and reward systems to more strongly reflect Open Science criteria. However, while several frontrunners at national and institutional level are emerging, many universities are reluctant to reform, citing systemic obstacles to changing research assessment. A potential answer to this collective action problem are the alliances funded by the European University Initiative, which are expected to introduce “academic career systems that support and reward researchers who participate in engaging with society and in a culture of sharing the results of their research, in particular by ensuring early sharing and open access to their publications and other research outputs”. The EUTOPIA European University – consisting of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (BE); University of Warwick (UK), University of Ljubljana (SI); Cergy Paris Universite (FR); University Pompeu Fabra (ES); University of Gothenburg (SE) – is implementing a process to reform research assessment based on the INORMS SCOPE Framework for Research Evaluation. Through deliberation about the purpose and methods employed for research assessment, the alliance will develop an overarching framework for research assessment and draft individual commitments to update the individual assessment systems. The lightning talk will present this change process and the intended impact. The talk seeks to stimulate exchange of experience and collective action across research institutions, universities, university networks and alliances, to accelerate the ‘practical turn’ of research assessment reform and align incentive and reward systems towards Open Science practices.

description: Aicardi–Goutières syndrome (AGS) is a rare monogenic type I interferonopathy. Janus kinase (JAK) inhibition has emerged as a potential treatment for AGS. RNU7‐1 is one of the most recently discovered genes for AGS, and the clinical effects of JAK inhibition in these patients have not been reported. Here, we describe the diagnosis and treatment of a South African infant with RNU7‐1‐related AGS. The patient presented with developmental delay at age 5 months and was diagnosed with cerebral palsy due to a suspected congenital infection. By 18 months of age, he had a vasculitic rash, prominent generalized dystonia, persistent transaminitis, recurrent stomatitis, moderate‐range global developmental delay, and difficulty sleeping. AGS was considered after finding neuroimaging features of the disease; the diagnosis was confirmed when genetic investigations revealed two likely pathogenic RNU7‐1 compound heterozygous variants in the patient. Elevated interferon gene expression was noted in the patient and his mother who was a carrier of one RNU7‐1 variant. Baricitinib treatment was started, leading to modest, transient improvements in some clinical manifestations and a reduction in interferon‐stimulated gene expression. Liver function, dystonia, and neurological function did not improve even after increasing the baricitinib dose. Baricitinib was discontinued due to persistent and worsening adverse effects.
Bounded arbitrage and nearly rational behavior

description: We establish the equivalence between a principle of almost absence of arbitrage opportunities and nearly rational decision-making. The implications of such principle are considered in the context of the aggregation of probabilistic opinions and of stochastic choice functions. In the former a bounded arbitrage principle and its equivalent form as an approximately Pareto condition are shown to bound the difference between the collective probabilistic assessment of a set of states and a linear aggregation rule on the individual assessments. In the latter we show that our general principle of limited arbitrage opportunities translates into a weakening of the McFadden-Richter axiom of stochastic rationality, and gives an upper bound for the minimum distance of a stochastic choice function to another in the class of random utility maximization models.

description: Using new, highly accurate photometric redshifts from the MUSYC medium-band survey in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDF-S), we fit synthetic stellar population models to compare AGN host galaxies to inactive galaxies at 0.8 < z < 1.2. We find that AGN host galaxies are predominantly massive galaxies on the red sequence and in the green valley of the color-mass diagram. Because both passive and dusty galaxies can appear red in optical colors, we use rest-frame near-infrared colors to separate passively evolving stellar populations from galaxies that are reddened by dust. As with the overall galaxy population, ~25% of the `red' AGN host galaxies and ~75% of the `green' AGN host galaxies have colors consistent with young stellar populations reddened by dust. The dust-corrected rest-frame optical colors are the blue colors of star-forming galaxies, which implies that these AGN hosts are not passively aging to the red sequence. At z~1, AGN activity is roughly evenly split between two modes of black hole growth: the first in passively evolving host galaxies, which may be heating up the galaxy's gas and preventing future episodes of star formation, and the second in dust-reddened young galaxies, which may be ionizing the galaxy's interstellar medium and shutting down star formation.

description: Organizations variously involved in the scientific work usually appear with a variety of names, identifiers, and metadata information in all the different data sources working in the context of scholarly communication. This ambiguity results in a considerable efficiency problem in the exchange of information, the findability of research products, and the monitoring of activities. OpenOrgs is a tool developed to address this ambiguity affecting the information aggregated by OpenAIRE from different research organization registries (e.g., ROR, EC) and populating the OpenAIRE Research Graph. It works in two steps: first, an algorithm automatically detects identities between organizations appearing in different data sources, with different names, metadata information, PIDs and so on. Second, a process of manual curatorship corroborates the automated process. Data curators can in fact resolve the ambiguity of duplicates detected with the automated process by stating whether two or more entities correspond or not to the same organization. They can also enrich metadata and eventually suggest new duplicates, thus improving the automated process. In the demo session, we will introduce OpenOrgs and we will show how this tool works, how users can interact with its functionalities and thus feed a disambiguation system necessary to build a robust Open Science ecosystem.

description: Blue-Cloud is the thematic EOSC for the marine domain supporting FAIR and Open Science by developing a web-based environment that will provide scientists & researchers with enhanced analytical capabilities and cloud-computing resources, underpinned by simplified access to a wealth of multidisciplinary and interoperable marine data services.
 The project builds on existing European marine data infrastructures and e-infrastructures federating their services within the Blue-Cloud framework, enabling researchers to find, access, share, combine and reuse quality data across disciplines and countries.
 The federation is taking place at the levels of (meta)data resources, computing resources and analytical service resources, driven by collaboration across research, data and e-infrastructures. A Blue-Cloud Data Discovery and Access Service (DDAS) is being developed to facilitate access to multi-disciplinary datasets. A Blue Cloud-Virtual Research Environment (VRE) has been established to enable collaborative research, allowing users to share analytical processes and resulting outputs, including data products and services for specific applications.
 This innovation potential is explored and unlocked by five real-life demonstrators addressing societal challenges in the domains of genomics, fishery, aquaculture, biodiversity and environment. The demonstrators are showcasing how Blue-Cloud can enhance collaborative research in support of the EU Green Deal and key international initiatives, such as the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
 In addition, Blue-Cloud is developing a Strategic Roadmap to 2030 in collaboration with the wider marine science & research community, as a policy document guiding the evolution of Blue-Cloud into the future aligning with wider developments, such as EOSC and initiatives related to the EU Digital Strategy e.g. the pilot Digital Twin of the Ocean and Destination Earth.
 The presentation describes the vision and overarching technical framework of Blue-Cloud and the project’s role in supporting EOSC and the uptake of Open Science principles across the marine research community.

description: This thesis consists of three chapters on finance. Chapter 1 studies how political ideology of the government shapes household's access to financial services. I find that access is higher under right-wing regimes than under left-wing. Chapter 2 investigates why do managers preannounce asset sales. I find that preannouncements prevail in specific situations: for assets outside the U.S., after poor stock performance, and when a new CEO has been appointed. Chapter 3 examines whether the U.S. states' property crime rate is a risk factor that induces lenders to increase covenants. I find that greater crime exposure leads to higher and tighter covenants.

description: A polynomial transform is the multiplication of an input vector $x\in\C^n$ by a matrix $\PT_{b,α}\in\C^{n\times n},$ whose $(k,\ell)$-th element is defined as $p_\ell(α_k)$ for polynomials $p_\ell(x)\in\C[x]$ from a list $b=\{p_0(x),\dots,p_{n-1}(x)\}$ and sample points $α_k\in\C$ from a list $α=\{α_0,\dots,α_{n-1}\}$. Such transforms find applications in the areas of signal processing, data compression, and function interpolation. Important examples include the discrete Fourier and cosine transforms. In this paper we introduce a novel technique to derive fast algorithms for polynomial transforms. The technique uses the relationship between polynomial transforms and the representation theory of polynomial algebras. Specifically, we derive algorithms by decomposing the regular modules of these algebras as a stepwise induction. As an application, we derive novel $O(n\log{n})$ general-radix algorithms for the discrete Fourier transform and the discrete cosine transform of type 4.

The politics of collaborative governance : community-based conservation in northern Kenya
Creators: name: Cockerill, Kasmira
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Community-based conservation (CBC) approaches are complex governance spaces where diverse actors operating at multiple scales make decisions about and for local conservation. In this thesis, I explore CBC governance and decision-making in Kenya using multiple qualitative methods. First, I present a historical profile of Kenya’s national wildlife policy framework, identifying the events, ideologies and policies that led up to, and shaped the legal governance of CBC expression in Kenya today. This involved a comprehensive review of wildlife and conservation policy in Kenya from 1895-2016, focusing on a set of key governance attributes through the 120-year timeframe. Nine key informants participated in extended interviews to provide additional context and perspective to the 1200 pages of documents reviewed. Three insights relevant to understanding contemporary CBC in Kenya emerged from this analysis: (1) the continued expression of colonial relationships (2) the disproportional power of international conservation organizations (3) the tension between non-devolved national wildlife governance and the implementation of CBC. Second, to understand the expression of CBC at a local scale, I present analysis of governance structure, process, and the influence between scales of decision- making within the case study of Sera Community Conservancy in northern Kenya. During 13 months in the field, data was collected through: interviews (N=31), participant observation of meetings and decision-making settings (N=14), focus groups (N=4) with local elders and older women, as well as a review of over 400 pages of documents referencing governance process, NGO reports, and government legislation related to Sera Community Conservancy. Findings from this analysis are interpreted within a governance equity framework. Key insights include identifying the ways in which procedural equity is failing to function due to governance-related issues, including limiting the possibility of different knowledge holders to collaborate, systemic barriers to legitimate participation, and failure of transparent and effective communication. Overall, this thesis concludes that despite CBC’s objective of locally-informed decision making, local voices rarely influence outcomes at any scale of decision-making, while conservation NGOs disproportionally determine outcomes and priorities. This governance asymmetry constrains the value and undermines the legitimacy of local and indigenous knowledge, values, and practices within formal conservation in Kenya.

The strong fields generate, {\it in situ}, electrons and radicals that induce transformation of supercoiled DNA into relaxed DNA, the extent of which is quantified. Introduction of electron and radical scavengers inhibits DNA damage; results indicate that OH radicals are the primary (but not sole) cause of DNA damage.

description: We will demo the integration being developed by the California Digital Library and Research Space enabling bi-directional data flows between RSpace and DMPTool, facilitating higher quality and more comprehensive capture and tracking of research data throughout the research life cycle. Integrations between RSpace and repositories like Dataverse and Figshare enable subsequent direct deposit of the DMP and associated research data from RSpace into the repository. Currently, data management plans (DMPs) operate as static projections of plans for data use and management. They are prepared for grant proposals, but once submitted rarely referred to thereafter. Data produced in the actual research usually varies significantly from what was envisioned in the DMP. Because it is hard to associate data actually produced with the DMP, the DMP’s usefulness to project researchers, funders, the public and broader research community is limited. Efforts are underway to introduce ‘machine actionable’ elements into DMPs, so that they become dynamic and are better able to pass data and metadata from the DMP to other Research Data Management (RDM) tools, e.g., repositories. The integration between RSpace and DMPTool should be seen in the context of these efforts, but represents a major step beyond what has previously been contemplated. In Phase 1 of the integration, recently completed, it is possible to link in RSpace to DMPs in DMPTool. Through existing RSpace repository integrations like Dataverse and Figshare, the DMP can then be included along with data created in connection with the project for direct deposit into repositories. By accessing these deposits, the broader research community, funders and the public can examine and compare the DMP and the research results. We plan to extend the integration to other widely used DMP online tools running off the common DMP Roadmap codebase like DMPonline and DMP Assistant.

description: B[e] stars are among the most peculiar objects in the sky. This spectral type, characterised by allowed and forbidden emission lines, and a large infrared excess, does not represent an homogenous class of objects, but instead, a mix of stellar bodies seen in all evolutionary status. Among them, one can find Herbig stars, planetary nebulae central stars, interacting binaries, supermassive stars, and even "unclassified" B[e] stars: systems sharing properties of several of the above. Interferometry, by resolving the innermost regions of these stellar systems, enables us to reveal the true nature of these peculiar stars among the peculiar B[e] stars.

description: Our Sun, like all stars, formed within a cold molecular cloud. Astronomical observations and theory provide considerable detail into this process. Yet cosmochemical observations of short lived radionuclides in primitive meteorites, in particular 60Fe, provide unequivocal evidence that the early solar system inherited fresh nucleosynthetic material from the core of a hot, massive star, almost certainly ejected in a supernova explosion. I give a short introduction to the fields of star formation and meteoritics and discuss how the reconciliation of their disparate clues to our origin places strong constraints on the environment of the Solar birthplace. Direct injection of supernova ejecta into a protoplanetary disk or a dense molecular core is unlikely since their small sizes require placement unusually close to the massive star. Lower density molecular cloud clumps can capture more ejecta but the radionuclides decay during the slow gravitational collapse. The most likely scenario is on the largest scales via the formation of enriched molecular clouds at the intersection of colliding supernova bubbles in spiral arms.

description: Molecular line observations may serve as diagnostics of the degree to which the number density of cosmic ray protons, having energies of 10s to 100s of MeVs each, is enhanced in starburst galaxies and galaxies with active nuclei. Results, obtained with the UCL\_PDR code, for the fractional abundances of molecules as functions of the cosmic-ray induced ionisation rate, $ζ$, are presented. The aim is not to model any particular external galaxies. Rather, it is to identify characteristics of the dependencies of molecular abundances on $ζ$, in part to enable the development of suitable observational programmes for cosmic ray dominated regions (CRDRs) which will then stimulate detailed modelling. For a number density of hydrogen nuclei of of $10^4$ cm$^{-3}$, and high visual extinction, the fractional abundances of some species increase as $ζ$ increases to $10^{-14}$ s$^{-1}$, but for much higher values of $ζ$ the fractional abundances of all molecular species are significantly below their peak values. We show in particular that OH, H$_{2}$O, H$_{3}^{+}$, H$_{3}$O$^{+}$ and OH$^{+}$ attain large fractional abundances ($\geqslant 10^{-8}$) for $ζ$ as large as $10^{-12}$ s$^{-1}$. HCO$^{+}$ is a poor tracer of CRDRs when $ζ> 10^{-13}$ s$^{-1}$. Sulphur-bearing species may be useful tracers of CRDRs gas in which $ζ\sim 10^{-16}$ s$^{-1}$. Ammonia has a large fractional abundance for $ζ\leqslant 10^{-16}$ s$^{-1}$ and nitrogen appears in CN-bearing species at significant levels as $ζ$ increases, even up to $\sim 10^{-14}$ s$^{-1}$. In this paper, we also discuss our model predictions, comparing them to recent detections in both galactic and extragalactic sources. We show that they agree well, to a first approximation, with the observational constraints.

Lexicon
CC-0

description: This is a comprehensive lexicon of Welsh forms, their corresponding lemmas (= base forms), their parts of speech and morphological features, freely released under the CC-0 license in the hope that it will stimulate the development of Welsh language technologies. The source of the data is the Welsh lexicon designed for use within Cysill, the popular Welsh spelling and grammar checker created at Bangor University. In releasing this resource, we have converted the data from a complex format designed to cope with the memory limitations of 90s computers to a fuller format that is more manageable and easier to read. The file is organized with one wordform per line, along with the lemma, part of speech, and morphological features. As the set of part of speech tags used by Cysill are specific to that program's needs, the data has been converted to use part of speech tags and contemporary features based on that used by the Universal Dependencies international framework (http://universaldependencies.org). The tags are summarized in X and the morphological features summarized in Y. The benefit of using these tags and features is that the data now uses a general, recognized set of tags and features that are independent of specific language and likely to be familiar to developers working on NLP within a multilingual environment.
Academic researcher career progression: results from university promotion policies collection and an academic survey

description: This Lighting talk will analyse data on career pathways and institutional policies to investigate how institutional structures of recognition and reward shape the uptake of principles and practices of Open Science and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). The term Open Science refers to the movement to make scientific research, data and dissemination accessible to all levels of inquiring society. RRI is a broader concept incorporating Open Science (along with Science Education, Public Engagement, Governance, Gender, Ethics); it involves society and innovation in science and tries to align these outcomes with the values of society. Our work seeks to add to our knowledge of how current institutional recognition and reward structures (especially as contained in promotion policies) shape open practices. Could it be that reward structures could be reshaped to foster increased adoption of these principles? To this end, this work involved two main activities: A qualitative study of institutional promotion policies to determine the extent to which a range of criteria relevant for Open Science and RRI practices are currently reflected. A survey of active researchers to assess their own opinions in relation to the current assessment criteria used in their own institutional promotion policies, as well as their own extent of uptake of Open Science/RRI, and reflections on what may further incentivise uptake. This work will present the collected data and the general conclusions that can be brought together to draw broader conclusions. It will set recommendations on the role and potential of existing as well as new RRI and Open Science incentives, as well as a proposal for new indicators that both incentivise researchers in applying RRI and Open Science principles as well as help them further develop their careers.
Non-local spin-sensitive electron transport in diffusive proximity heterostructures

description: We formulate a quantitative theory of non-local electron transport in three-terminal disordered ferromagnet-superconductor-ferromagnet structures. We demonstrate that magnetic effects have different implications: While strong exchange field suppresses disorder-induced electron interference in ferromagnetic electrodes, spin-sensitive electron scattering at superconductor-ferromagnet interfaces can drive the total non-local conductance negative at sufficiently low energies. At higher energies magnetic effects become less important and the non-local resistance behaves similarly to the non-magnetic case. Our predictions can be directly tested in future experiments on non-local electron transport in hybrid FSF structures.

description: The digital transformation of research opened up radically new potentials in innovation and dissemination in all scientific areas. Open Science is becoming the new normal modus operandi in them, also as increasingly central conditions of research funding. Still, in many cases, the dominant impact of STEM disciplines on the Open Science paradigm makes it uneasy for Arts and Humanities scholars to translate these values to their everyday research realities. Therefore, it is crucially important to establish a dedicated discourse and community practices around the open research culture as it makes sense in the Arts and Humanities disciplines. DARIAH is in a unique position to push forward to an open ecosystem that is organically growing out from real community practices and needs. The presentation aims to outline discipline-specific, yet widely interoperable models of Open Science emerging from community practices of arts and humanities. It will be shown how DARIAH, a pan-European infrastructure for arts and humanities builds an open agenda for arts and humanities research that is firmly grounded in disciplinary realities. This includes: Providing a strong voice for arts and humanities research communities to be heard in European and national research policy debates, with special focus on career assessment Supporting our communities in navigating themselves in this whole new world and providing Open Science advocacy to them in all career stages and levels of expertise. Making arts and humanities’ contributions to Open Scholarship more visible both inside and outside the arts and humanities research communities. Facilitating access to Cultural Heritage data Building infrastructural components that enable open research practices across arts and humanities disciplines.

description: We study the mechanism of formation of Bose glass (BG) phases in the spin-1 Bose Hubbard model when diagonal disorder is introduced. To this aim, we analyze first the phase diagram in the zero-hopping limit, there disorder induces superposition between Mott insulator (MI) phases with different filling numbers. Then BG appears as a compressible but still insulating phase. The phase diagram for finite hopping is also calculated with the Gutzwiller approximation. The bosons' spin degree of freedom introduces another scattering channel in the two-body interaction modifying the stability of MI regions with respect to the action of disorder. This leads to some peculiar phenomena such as the creation of BG of singlets, for very strong spin correlation, or the disappearance of BG phase in some particular cases where fluctuations are not able to mix different MI regions.
