Secure Data Service; an Improved Access to Disclosive Data
Creators: name: Afkhami, Reza
name: Wright, Melanie
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2010

description: The UKDA Secure Data Service is a new service to allow controlled restricted access procedures for making more detailed microdata files available to some users (Approved Researchers), subject to conditions of eligibility, purpose of use, security procedures, and other features associated with access to the SDS data. Its operation is legally framed by the 2007 statistics Act. A key problem in Secure Data Service (SDS) data confidentiality is to balance the legitimate requirements of data users and confidentiality protection. Employing security technologies used by the military and banking sectors, the SDS will allow trained researchers to remotely access data which is held securely on central SDS servers at the UK Data Archive. The aim of the service is to provide approved academics unprecedented access to valuable data for research from their home institutions, with all of the necessary safeguards to ensure that data is held, accessed and handled securely. The SDS follows a model which suggests that the safe use of data should cover the elements of safe project, safe people, safe setting and safe output. In order to achieve the above goal, data security depends on a matrix of factors, including technical, legal, contractual, and educational.

description: The results of single-dish observations of low- and high-J transitions of selected molecules from protoplanetary disks around two TTauri stars (LkCa15 and TWHya) and two HerbigAe stars (HD163296 and MWC480) are reported. Simple molecules such as CO, 13CO, HCO+, CN and HCN are detected. Several lines of H2CO are found toward the TTauri star LkCa15 but not in other objects. No CH3OH has been detected down to abundances of 10E-9 - 10E-8 with respect to H2. SO and CS lines have been searched for without success. Line ratios indicate that the molecular emission arises from dense 10E6 - 10E8 cm-3 and moderately warm (T ~ 20-40K) intermediate height regions of the disk atmosphere, in accordance with predictions from models of the chemistry in disks. The abundances of most species are lower than in the envelope around the solar-mass protostar IRAS 16293-2422. Freeze-out and photodissociation are likely causes of the depletion. DCO+ is detected toward TWHya, but not in other objects. The high inferred DCO+/HCO+ ratio of ~0.035 is consistent with models of the deuterium fractionation in disks which include strong depletion of CO. The inferred ionization fraction in the intermediate height regions as deduced from HCO+ is at least 10E-11 - 10E-10, comparable to that derived for the midplane from recent H2D+ observations.

description: Educational assortative matching among couples, i.e. the phenomenon whereby the higheducated have partners who are also high-educated, has gained attention in popular media and academic research as a driver of recent changes in the distribution of household income. We examine the effect of educational assortative matching on the distribution of household income in New Zealand - a country which has experienced rising inequality, increased educational attainment and a relatively low, and falling, wage premium for higher levels of education. Using data from the 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006 and 2013 Census of Population and Dwellings and a counterfactual randomisation methodology that accounts for secular changes in the educational distribution, we find that educational assortative matching has increased but, contrary to some evidence overseas, this increase was driven by increased matching in the middle of the educational distribution. Spatially, we find higher and increasing levels of educational assortative matching in metropolitan areas compared to non-metropolitan areas where assortative matching was lower and decreasing. We find that educational assortative matching has had an inequality-increasing impact on the distribution of income, especially for the full-time employed – for whom the matching impact is around 20 percent of the Mean Log Deviation measure of inequality. Additionally, sorting on observable characteristics such as age and location (with the higher educated being disproportionally attracted to the metropolitan areas) are also inequality-increasing and sorting on unobservable characteristics that impact on income can play an important role as well.

description: Owner-operated firms are an important part of the New Zealand economy. They employ approximately 30% of the private-for-profit workforce, as well as providing jobs and income to the working proprietors themselves. This paper addresses two questions: what characteristics are associated with entrepreneurship (starting a self-employed business); and which sorts of entrepreneurs are more successful (create jobs)? We pay particular attention to differences in start-up and survival rates by business owner sex and ethnicity, but also consider whether other individual characteristics (including age and skill) and prior job characteristics also relate to the decision to start a business or to create jobs. We find substantial negative gaps in entrepreneurship for females and non-European-only ethnicity groups – gaps that arise in large part because of differential rates of entry into self-employment and, in the case of non- European-only ethnicities, higher attrition rates from self-employment after entry. These gaps persist in the presence of controls for skill, prior labour market experience and other individual characteristics.

description: Evaluating the benefits of publicly funded research is always a challenging task. This paper cannot produce air-tight quantification of the benefits of Sustainable Land Management and Climate Change (SLMACC) research. We do, however, demonstrate the key building blocks of significant impact have been obtained. First, it is clear that public funding has contributed importantly to New Zealand’s positioning itself as one of the leading global contributors to agricultural mitigation research. Second, the prominence of the research combined with the low likelihood of research occurring on this scale without public support suggests strongly that the results would not have been obtained absent public funding. Finally, though the realization of ultimate environmental and/or economic benefits will depend on the evolution of farming practices and climate change policy settings, the advances in genetic markers for low CH4 animals and identification of emission-reducing management practices have the potential for GHG emission reductions that would be significant in environmental terms, and whose value at likely carbon pricing levels would be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Although the results discussed are conditional on several factors such as future policy implementation, adoption rates and the practical availability of mitigation options and practices for different farm landscapes; the impacts, economic and environmental values attached to mitigation research cannot be overlooked and provide important insights to the benefits that public investments can make to the development of a more sustainable agricultural system for the country.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2010

description: In the United States and elsewhere, the need for ethics review was addressed in response to egregious ethical violations in medical and biological research. Research review in the social and behavioral sciences has slowly evolved from this medical background, but several contentious issues remain in the effort to best address the needs and risks of social science data collection, analysis, and archival. This panel will be structured to bring together various stakeholders in the ongoing worldwide discussion of ethics review in the social sciences to discuss current needs and future directions in the United States and elsewhere. This session will be structured as a panel discussion and not as a series of presentations. Each panelist will be given a chance at the beginning to describe his or her viewpoints regarding the current state of regulation, data access and confidentiality in social science research. However, a moderated discussion centered around issues of data accessibility, confidentiality, regulatory development, and the roles of data archives, to name a few, will comprise the bulk of the session. The first panelist, Arja Kuula, will describe the standpoints and the scope of the Finnish ethics review system, which differs from the U.S. system. One of the goals of the Finnish system is to find a balance between confidentiality and the openness of science and research. In addition to informing about the ethical norms that relate to data archiving, Arja will tell how the Finnish Social Science Data Archive has been involved in making guidelines for ethics review at the University of Tampere. The second panelist, Robert Downs, will present on the perspective that the IRB takes on data management when reviewing research protocols for the protection of human subjects and discuss ways in which these issues can be addressed. He will also discuss some challenges that the protection of human subjects presents to researchers and archives for the collection, management, and dissemination of data. The third panelist, Yasamin Miller, will speak on the current state of ethics review and how it should and will change in the future. Yasamin will also provide perspectives, concerns, ideas, etc. from the human subjects review board/IRB side of the table.

Newton-Step-Based Hard Thresholding Algorithms for Sparse Signal Recovery

name: Zhao, Yun-Bin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Sparse signal recovery or compressed sensing can be formulated as certain sparse optimization problems. The classic optimization theory indicates that the Newton-like method often has a numerical advantage over the gradient method for nonlinear optimization problems. In this paper, we propose the so-called Newton-step-based iterative hard thresholding (NSIHT) and the Newton-step-based hard thresholding pursuit (NSHTP) algorithms for sparse signal recovery and signal approximation. Different from the traditional iterative hard thresholding (IHT) and hard thresholding pursuit (HTP), the proposed algorithms adopts the Newton-like search direction instead of the steepest descent direction. A theoretical analysis for the proposed algorithms is carried out, and some sufficient conditions for the guaranteed success of sparse signal recovery via these algorithms are established. Our results are shown under the restricted isometry property which is one of the standard assumptions widely used in the field of compressed sensing and signal approximation. The empirical results obtained from synthetic data recovery indicate that the proposed algorithms are efficient signal recovery methods. The numerical stability of our algorithms in terms of the residual reduction is also investigated through simulations.

description: A major concern with demand side housing subsidies to low-income tenants is the extent to which they may be captured by landlords in the form of higher rents. The Accommodation Supplement (AS) benefit is the largest housing subsidy policy in New Zealand. A 2005 policy change created a new AS-area around central Auckland that resulted in an increase in AS entitlement for residents within the area compared to those outside. In this paper we exploit the natural experiment created by this policy change to evaluate whether the increase in accommodation support for recipients in the new area led to relatively higher rents than paid by recipients outside the boundary. We use administrative data for a sample of AS recipients on either side of the new area boundary over the four-year period spanning the policy change. Our analysis shows that as a result of the policy change, recipients on the inside of the boundary received around $6.81 per week more in total accommodation support in the second year after the policy was implemented. We estimate that weekly rents increased on average about $2.44 more inside the boundary (36 percent of the increase in AS) and, as expected, the impacts were stronger at higher quantiles of the rent distribution. We also find that the rent increases were concentrated among families with children, and present some evidence that this reflected increased spending on housing (which may have reduced over-crowding), rather than a wider increase in rental prices.

We show that, in the case of Curzon metric, these two definitions give the same energy only when $R \to \infty$. Furthermore, we compare these results with those obtained using Landau and Lifshitz, Bergmann and Møller.

description: Getting insights on human mobility patterns and being able to reproduce them accurately is of the utmost importance in a wide range of applications from public health, to transport and urban planning. Still the relationship between the effort individuals will invest in a trip and its purpose importance is not taken into account in the individual mobility models that can be found in the recent literature. Here, we address this issue by introducing a model hypothesizing a relation between the importance of a trip and the distance traveled. In most practical cases, quantifying such importance is undoable. We overcome this difficulty by focusing on shopping trips (for which we have empirical data) and by taking the price of items as a proxy. Our model is able to reproduce the long-tailed distribution in travel distances empirically observed and to explain the scaling relationship between distance traveled and item value found in the data.

description: Climate change appears to be increasing the frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events, negatively affecting communities as well as posing long-term sustainability challenges to insurance (risk transfer) mechanisms. New Zealand’s public natural hazard insurer, the Earthquake Commission (EQC), covers homeowners for damage to land (and in some cases to dwellings and contents) caused by landslip, storm or flood. We comprehensively explore the EQC claims data to investigate these weather-related claims from 2000-2017. We find no clear upward trend yet emerging in the number of claims or their value. We find that the northern regions of both islands are the source of most claims, that only a handful of weather events caused a large proportion of EQC’s weather-related pay-outs, that the average property lodging a weather-related claim is located twice as close to the coast as the national average, and that properties with claims usually are cited on much steeper land than the typical property in New Zealand. We also explore the relationship between claims and socio-economic characteristics, finding that higher income neighbourhoods appear to be those most benefiting from the EQC coverage for weather events.

description: Within quantum mechanics which works with parity-pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians we study the tunneling in a symmetric double well formed by two delta functions with complex conjugate strengths. The model is exactly solvable and exhibits several interesting features. Besides an amazingly robust absence of any PT symmetry breaking, we observe a quasi-degeneracy of the levels which occurs all over the energy range including the high-energy domain. This pattern is interpreted as a manifestation of certain "quantum beats".

description: Background: Surveillance of childhood cancer incidence is informative for etiologic research and health policy. However, high-quality data covering several decades of virtually complete cancer diagnosis in children is sparse. Methods: Incident cases of childhood cancer (0–19 years at diagnosis), classified according to Birch and Marsden’s International Classification of Childhood Cancer, first edition (ICCC-1), were identified in the Danish Cancer Registry and used to calculate age-standardized incidence rates (ASRs) and estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) separately for 1943–1977 (early period) and 1977–2014 (recent period). Results: During 1943–2014, 15,184 childhood cancer cases were reported. The ASR for any cancer was 13.0 per 100 000 person-years in the early period (EAPC 0.55%; 95% CI 0.30–0.80) and 17.7 per 100 000 person-years in the recent period (EAPC 1.16%; 95% CI 0.96–1.36). In both periods, the increasing trend was seen in both boys (EAPC 0.69%; 95% CI 0.43–0.96/EAPC 0.96%; 95% CI 0.75–1.17) and girls (EAPC 0.37%; 95% CI −0.01–0.75/EAPC 1.41%; 95% CI 1.11–1.72) and in children aged 0–14 years (EAPC 0.53%; 95% CI 0.26–0.80/EAPC 0.86%; 95% CI 0.64–1.08) and 15–19 years (EAPC 0.60%; 95% CI 0.19–1.02/EAPC 1.97%; 95% CI 1.67–2.28). Increasing trends were observed for all main diagnostic groups. Conclusions: The incidence of childhood cancer in Denmark has increased since the 1940s, especially since 1977 and in older children. In recent years the increase has been most pronounced among girls.

description: Mini-grids are expected to be the least cost option to electrify more than half a billion people living predominantly in isolated communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Providing a high reliability of power supply to satisfy paying customers is vital for the challenging business case of mini-grid owners. Therefore, renewable-based mini-grids of the third generation commonly include either diesel generators or battery storage for backup power supply. Power-to-hydrogen-to-power (P2H2P) is a promising alternative to overcome technical, financial, and social shortcomings of diesel generators and batteries. Previous research highlights the challenging economic competitiveness of P2H2P in specific case studies only. Here, we conduct a model-based techno-economic analysis on an archetypal representative mini-grid to compare the economic performance of P2H2P against the diesel generator and battery storage. We identify key parameters decisive for the competitiveness of P2H2P via sensitivity analysis. Under today's conditions, P2H2P is financially viable in 100 % decarbonized mini-grid systems. Ongoing trends of increased fuel price and P2H2P technology improvements must continue to achieve economic advantages of P2H2P over the diesel generator. However, P2H2P is competitive in locations in which the diesel price is higher than 2.6 USD/l or when P2H2P investment costs drop by >50 %, which is expected beyond 2040. Sensitivity analysis shows that increasing P2H2P system efficiency can substantially benefit the economic performance. Seasonal variations on the African continent are insufficient to create exploitable advantages of P2H2P against the short-term storage of batteries. The results suggest especially larger future PV mini-grids to combine battery storage and P2H2P rather than including common diesel generators or only including batteries when trends towards cheaper and more efficient technologies continue and diesel prices increase. Future work should investigate economic effects of the unique multi-usability of hydrogen on the mini-grid system, such as the usage as clean cooking fuel.

Our approach is based on anomaly inflow, and characterizes the anomaly polynomial of the QFT in terms of the geometric definition of the field theory. In particular, when the QFT admits a holographic dual, the topological data of the solution is sufficient to compute the anomalies of the dual field theory, including finite terms in $N$. We study several classes of examples in four and six dimensions, with or without known M5-brane probe configurations.

description: Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a life-threatening complication following donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, where donor T cells damage host tissues. This study investigated the effect of tocilizumab (TOC) combined with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) on immune cell engraftment and GVHD development in a humanized mouse model. NOD-scid-IL2Rγnull (NSG) mice were injected intraperitoneally with 2 × 107 human (h) peripheral blood mononuclear cells and cyclophosphamide (33 mg kg−1) or saline on days 3 and 4, then TOC or control antibody (0.5 mg mouse−1) twice weekly for 28 days. Mice were monitored for clinical signs of GVHD for either 28 or 70 days. Spleens and livers were assessed for human leukocyte subsets, and serum cytokines and tissue histology were analyzed. In the short-term model (day 28), liver and lung damage were reduced in PTCy + TOC compared with control mice. All groups showed similar splenic hCD45+ leukocyte engraftment (55–60%); however, PTCy + TOC mice demonstrated significantly increased (1.5–2-fold) splenic regulatory T cells. Serum human interferon gamma was significantly reduced in PTCy + TOC compared with control mice. Long-term (day 70), prolonged survival was similar in PTCy + TOC (median survival time, > 70 days) and PTCy mice (median survival time, 56 days). GVHD onset was significantly delayed in PTCy + TOC, compared with TOC or control mice. Notably, natural killer cells were reduced (77.5%) in TOC and PTCy + TOC mice. Overall, combining PTCy with TOC increases regulatory T cells and reduces clinical signs of early GVHD, but does not improve long-term survival compared with PTCy alone.

description: The influence of the impurity on the resonant Andreev reflection through a normal-metal/carbon-nanotube/superconductor system is studied theoretically. It is found that the resonant Andreev reflection depends on the strength of the impurity and the length of the armchair nanotube. The impurity which breaks the electron-hole symmetry of the nanotubes greatly reduces the resonant Andreev reflection. The symmetry broken depends distinctly on the impurity strength. The impurity effects on the Andreev reflection current at different bias are also studied.

description: The acene series represents a unique model system to investigate the intriguing electronic properties of extended pi electron structures in the one-dimensional limit, which are important for applications in electronics and spintronics and for the fundamental understanding of electronic transport. Here we present the on-surface generation of the longest acene obtained so far: Dodecacene. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy gives access to the energy position and spatial distribution of its electronic states on the Au(111) surface. We observe that, after a progressive closing of the gap and a stabilization to about 1 eV at the length of decacene and undecacene, the energy gap of dodecacene unexpectedly increases to 1.4 eV. Considering the acene series as an exemplary general case, we discuss the evolution with length of the single tunneling resonances in comparison with ionization energy, electronic affinity, and optical gap.

description: As part of the United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7), SDG target 7.1 recognizes universal electrification and the provision of clean cooking fuel as two fundamental challenges for global society. Faltering progress toward SDG target 7.1 calls for innovative technologies to stimulate advancements. Hydrogen has been proposed as a versatile energy carrier to be applied in both pillars of SDG target 7.1: electrification and clean cooking. This paper conducts a semi-systematic literature review to provide the status quo of research on the application of hydrogen in the rationale of SDG 7.1, covering the technical integration pathways, as well as the key economic, environmental, and social aspects of its use. We identify decisive factors for the future development of hydrogen use in the rationale of SDG target 7.1 and, by complementing our analysis with insights from the related literature, propose future avenues of research. The literature on electrification proposes that hydrogen can serve as a backup power supply in rural off-grid communities. While common electrification efforts aim to supply appliances that use lower amounts of electricity, a hydrogen-based power supply can satisfy appliances with higher power demands including electric cook stoves, while simultaneously supporting clean cooking efforts. Alternatively, with the exclusive aim of stimulating clean cooking, hydrogen is proposed to be used as a clean cooking fuel via direct combustion in distribution and utilization infrastructures analogous to Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG). While expected economic and technical developments are seen as likely to render hydrogen technologies economically competitive with conventional fossil fuels in the future, the potential of renewably produced hydrogen usage to reduce climate-change impacts and point-of-use emissions is already evident today. Social benefits are likely when meeting essential safety standards, as a hydrogen-based power supply offers service on a high tier that might overachieve SDG 7.1 ambitions, while hydrogen cooking via combustion fits into the existing social habits of LPG users. However, the literature lacks clear evidence on the social impact of hydrogen usage. Impact assessments of demonstration projects are required to fill this research gap.
International Access to Restricted Data - A Principles-Based Standards Approach
Creators: name: Ritchie, Felix
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2010

description: Access to restricted microdata for research is increasingly part of the data dissemination strategy within countries, made possible by improvements in technology and changes in the risk-benefit perceptions of NSIs. For international data sharing, relatively little progress has been made. Recent developments in Germany, the Netherlands and the US are notable as exceptions. This paper argues that the situation is made more complex by the lack of a general coherent risk-assessment framework. Discussions about whether something should be done become sidetracked into discussions about how procedural issues would constrain implementation. International data sharing negotiations quickly become bilateral, often dataset-specific, and of limited general value. One way forward is to decouple implementation from principles. A principles-based risk-assessment framework could be designed to address the multiple-component data security models which are increasingly seen as best practice. Such a framework allows decisions a out access to focus on legal-procedural issues; similarly, secure facilities could be developed to standards independent of dataset-specific negotiations. In an international context, proposals for classification systems are easier to agree than specific multilateral implementations. The paper concludes with examples from the UK and cross-European projects to show how such principles-based standards could work in practice.

description: Copper(II) oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by the calcination of a mixture of copper acetate and orange peel powder at 600 °C for 4 h. The average crystallite size and structure of the prepared sample was predicted by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Optical property of the sample was measured by using UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was employed to find metal-oxygen bond and surface groups of the sample. Both scanning and transmission electron microscopic analyses reveal that the CuO particles adopt leaf and irregular plate-like morphologies. The average length of CuO nanoleaves is 54 nm. The effect of morphology by different types of orange peel powders was also investigated. Energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDX) shows the characteristic peaks of Cu, C and O only. Furthermore, the prepared CuO NPs with or without orange peel powders were applied on H9c2 cardiomyoblasts cells to find their cytotoxicity. Research HighlightsOrange peel extract is used to produce Copper (II) oxide nanoparticles.Solvent free synthesis of CuO nanoparticles.Highly stable CuO nanoparticles are produced by this method.Synthesized CuO nanoparticles show leaves-like morphology.

description: We add to the literature on the driving forces of international migration. While the existing literature establishes that income differences, migration costs, and certain other factors (e.g. climate or human rights) affect the migration decision, we focus on the broader role of nonpecuniary factors. We include well-being measures in a standard model of bilateral migration flows and enrich the analysis further by testing the effects on migration of inequality in happiness within a country. Our findings that both the mean and standard deviation of happiness - in both origin and destination countries - help explain bilateral migration flows over and above any income effect, indicates the need to incorporate both pecuniary and non-pecuniary factors when modelling migration choices.

description: During a tokamak discharge, the plasma can vary between different confinement regimes: Low (L), High (H) and, in some cases, a temporary (intermediate state), called Dithering (D). In addition, while the plasma is in H mode, Edge Localized Modes (ELMs) can occur. The automatic detection of changes between these states, and of ELMs, is important for tokamak operation. Motivated by this, and by recent developments in Deep Learning (DL), we developed and compared two methods for automatic detection of the occurrence of L-D-H transitions and ELMs, applied on data from the TCV tokamak. These methods consist in a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and a Convolutional Long Short Term Memory Neural Network (Conv-LSTM). We measured our results with regards to ELMs using ROC curves and Youden's score index, and regarding state detection using Cohen's Kappa Index.
