Competence Centre

description: This report advances the establishment of a FAIR Competence Centre as outlined in the previous two reports from WP6 of FAIRsFAIR, D6.1 “Overview of needs for Competence Centre” and D.6.2 “Initial core competence centre structure”, part of FAIRsFAIR WP6 deliverables which is concerned with the development of a competence centre as a model of engagement and support for research communities. Whilst the aforementioned reports focused, the first on the analysis of the landscape of available competence centres, and the second the set-up of the FAIR core competence centre, the present deliverable’s emphasis is put on the description of operations of the core competence centre, including initiatives aiming to identify synergies and areas of harmonisation that are required to support knowledge base development. This is the draft version of the deliverable not yet approved by the European Commission.

description: A method for finding relations for the roots of polynomials is presented. Our approach allows us to get a number of relations for the zeros of the classical polynomials and for the roots of special polynomials associated with rational solutions of the Painleve equations. We apply the method to obtain the relations for the zeros of several polynomials. They are: the Laguerre polynomials, the Yablonskii - Vorob'ev polynomials, the Umemura polynomials, the Ohyama polynomials, the generalized Okamoto polynomials, and the generalized Hermite polynomials. All the relations found can be considered as analogues of generalized Stieltjes relations.

description: This report documents the installation and performance of PVC pipe installed on KY 9 in Campbell County. The pipe installed was Perma-Loc, manufactured by J-M Manufacturing Company, Inc.  Pipes appear to be performing well with the clean coarse sand backfill.lt is apparent the pipe is brittle at lower temperatures. and caution should be exercised during cold weather construction.  It is apparent that the contractor achieved substantial compaction around the haunches and the side of the pipe which is helping to reduce pipe deflection.  In July 1995, the pipes will have been installed for approximately two years. Minor changes in pipe deflection are still occurring in approximately 40 percent of the pipes. The other 60 percent appear to be stabilized.

description: Starting from divisibility problem for Fibonacci numbers we introduce Fibonacci divisors, related hierarchy of Golden derivatives in powers of the Golden Ratio and develop corresponding quantum calculus. By this calculus, the infinite hierarchy of Golden quantum oscillators with integer spectrum determined by Fibonacci divisors, the hierarchy of Golden coherent states and related Fock-Bargman representations in space of complex analytic functions are derived. It is shown that Fibonacci divisors with even and odd $k$ describe Golden deformed bosonic and fermionic quantum oscillators, correspondingly. By the set of translation operators we find the hierarchy of Golden binomials and related Golden analytic functions, conjugate to Fibonacci number $F_k$. In the limit k -> 0, Golden analytic functions reduce to classical holomorphic functions and quantum calculus of Fibonacci divisors to the usual one. Several applications of the calculus to quantum deformation of bosonic and fermionic oscillator algebras, R-matrices, hydrodynamic images and quantum computations are discussed.

Seeing voices - the effects of using signs in Kindergartens

Subjects: Sign supported speech

description: When teachers in kindergarten talk about using signs with all the children in the kindergarten, they say that they have only positive experiences. The use of signs often starts because one child needs sign supported speech due to Down Syndrome, hearing problems or delayed speech. Some of the kindergartens choose to use signs to all the children in the name of inclusion and to strengthen the learning of language(s). Their experiences show that children get a visual language to express themselves before they have a spoken language. The teachers emphasize that use of signs is especially helpful for the youngest children and the immigrant children in the kindergarten. The teachers use signs and some grammar from sign language to visualize the spoken language.
 Since the use of signs in kindergarten has only received limited attention in systematical studies, the aims of the project were to summarize the experiences of four kindergartens in Norway and discuss these findings in the light of previous research. We also aimed to find out how widespread use of sign in kindergarten is. Methods used are a questionnaire to all the kindergartens in Hordaland and group interview with twelwe preschool teachers from four kindergartens who are using signs to all the children.
 The theoretical underpinning is work done on baby signs (Arcedolo and Goodwyn 2002, Okyle 2017) and the effect use of signs has on hearing children´s literacy (Daniels 1996-2004).
 Findings correspond with previous more anecdotal experiences, and the implications could be more conscious use of signs for all children in kindergarten. Supporting signs could also become part of education for teachers in kindergarten.

description: Proton radioactivity is an important and common process of the natural radioactivity of proton-rich nuclei. In our previous work [J. H. Cheng et al., Nucl. Rhys. A 997, 121717 (2020)], we systematically studied the proton radioactivity half-lives of 53< Z <83 nuclei within the two-potential approach with Skyrme-Hartree-Fock. The calculations can well reproduce the experimental data of spherical nuclei. The present work is an extension of the previous work. We systematically study 32 proton radioactivity half-lives of spherical nuclei with the two-potential approach with Skyrme-Hartree-Fock (TPA-SHF) within 115 different versions of the Skyrme interactions. The calculated results indicate that the SLy7 Skyrme interaction gives the lowest r.m.s. deviation in the description of the experimental data of the spherical proton emitters among all the different versions of the Skyrme interactions. In addition, we use this model with the SLy7 Skyrme interaction to predict the proton radioactivity half-lives of 7 spherical nuclei in the same region, whose proton radioactivity is energetically allowed or has been observed but is not yet quantified.

 A community effort driven by Health-RI and DTL
 Celia van Gelder and Mijke Jetten, DTL Data stewardship and data management skills are essential in research. The lack of consensus on the responsibilities, knowledge, skills, and value of data stewards leads to confusion about the role and hampers building adequate data steward capacity. By bundling expertise and manpower of their partners, and with support of the research funders, Health-RI and DTL are making a significant step in tackling the FAIR data handling challenges the sector faces. These joint capacity building efforts will help build a skilled workforce that is ready for professional data handling. The various activities that are ongoing in the Dutch community are:
 Establishing a data stewardship competency framework and corresponding job profiles This work has been undertaken in the ZonMw/ELIXIR project “Towards FAIR data steward as profession for the lifesciences”(2019), was taken further in the NPOS project “Professionalising data stewardship in the Netherlands. Competences, training and education. Dutch roadmap towards national implementation of FAIR data stewardship” (2021) that delivered recommendations for the major stakeholders (funders, policy makers, research performing organisations (RPO) and higher education institutes (HEI))
 Developing and delivering data stewardship training for various audiences
 DTL, Health-RI and their collaborators have been building up data stewardship related training, examples of which are Helis Academy courses, ZonMw webinars and workshops
 Bringing together the data stewards community
 DTL, Health-RI and their collaborators have been facilitating various data communities, for example the DTL-DSIG and the Health-RI DSC. These communities exchange experiences and best practices, and jointly tackle various data challenges
 Establishing strategic training collaborations with other national and international organisations and projects,a.o. NPOS, BioSB, LCRDM, ELIXIR, EOSC-Life, BBMRI, Helis Academy We will present these activities and invite other organisations and projects to join us in these collaborative efforts.

description: Asthma is a chronic disease of the airways of the lungs. It results in inflammation and narrowing of the respiratory passages, which prevents air flow into the airways and leads to frequent bouts of shortness of breath with wheezing accompanied by coughing and phlegm after exposure to inhalation of substances that provoke allergic reactions or irritation of the respiratory system. Data mining in healthcare system is very important in diagnosing and understanding data, so data mining aims to solve basic problems in diagnosing diseases due to the complexity of diagnosing asthma. Predicting chemicals in the atmosphere is very important and one of the most difficult problems since the last century. In this paper, the impact of chemicals on asthma patient will be presented and discussed. Sensor system called MQ5 will be used to examine the smoke and nitrogen content in the atmosphere. MQ5 will be inserted in a wristwatch that checks the smoke and nitrogen content in the patients place, the system shall issue a warning alarm if this gas affects the person with asthma. It will be based on the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) algorithm that has been built using data that containing a set of chemicals such as carbon monoxide, NMHC (GT) acid gas, C6H6 (GT) Gasoline, NOx (GT) Nitrogen Oxide, and NO2 (GT) Nitrogen Dioxide. The temperature and humidity will be also used as they can negatively affect asthma patient. Finally, the rating model was evaluated and achieved 99.58% classification accuracy.
Scattering Transform Based Image Clustering using Projection onto Orthogonal Complement

description: In the last few years, large improvements in image clustering have been driven by the recent advances in deep learning. However, due to the architectural complexity of deep neural networks, there is no mathematical theory that explains the success of deep clustering techniques. In this work we introduce Projected-Scattering Spectral Clustering (PSSC), a state-of-the-art, stable, and fast algorithm for image clustering, which is also mathematically interpretable. PSSC includes a novel method to exploit the geometric structure of the scattering transform of small images. This method is inspired by the observation that, in the scattering transform domain, the subspaces formed by the eigenvectors corresponding to the few largest eigenvalues of the data matrices of individual classes are nearly shared among different classes. Therefore, projecting out those shared subspaces reduces the intra-class variability, substantially increasing the clustering performance. We call this method Projection onto Orthogonal Complement (POC). Our experiments demonstrate that PSSC obtains the best results among all shallow clustering algorithms. Moreover, it achieves comparable clustering performance to that of recent state-of-the-art clustering techniques, while reducing the execution time by more than one order of magnitude. In the spirit of reproducible research, we publish a high quality code repository along with the paper.

description: We present a variable star catalog of an extensive ground-based wide-field variability survey in the globular cluster omega Centauri. Using the ANU 40-inch (1m) telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, the cluster was observed with a 52'x52' (0.75 deg^2) field for 25 nights. A total of 187 variable stars were identified in the field, 81 of which are new discoveries. This work comprises the widest field variability survey yet undertaken for this cluster. Here we present the V+R lightcurves and preliminary analysis of the detected variable stars, comprising 58 eclipsing binaries, 69 RR Lyrae stars, 36 long period variables (P>=2d) and 24 miscellaneous pulsators including 15 SX Phoenicis stars and two Type II Cepheids. Analysis of the eclipsing binary radial distribution has revealed an apparent lack of binaries in the 8'-15' range, perhaps indicating two separate binary populations. Four detached binaries have short periods (<2.5d) and are likely composed of low-mass M-dwarf components, useful for testing stellar evolution models. One further detached system has a period of 0.8 days and due to the blueness of the system could be composed of white dwarf stars. Analysis of the RR Lyrae sample has produced a reddening corrected distance modulus (also accounting for metallicity spread) for the cluster of 13.68+-0.27, a result consistent with previously published values. This paper also presents a total stellar database comprising V and I photometry (with astrometry better than 0.25'') for 203,892 stars with 12.0

Simulating the collapse transition of a two-dimensional semiflexible lattice polymer

description: It has been revealed by mean-field theories and computer simulations that the nature of the collapse transition of a polymer is influenced by its bending stiffness $ε_{\rm b}$. In two dimensions, a recent analytical work demonstrated that the collapse transition of a partially directed lattice polymer is always first-order as long as $ε_{\rm b}$ is positive [H. Zhou {\em et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 97}, 158302 (2006)]. Here we employ Monte Carlo simulation to investigate systematically the effect of bending stiffness on the static properties of a 2D lattice polymer. The system's phase-diagram at zero force is obtained. Depending on $ε_{\rm b}$ and the temperature $T$, the polymer can be in one of three phases: crystal, disordered globule, or swollen coil. The crystal-globule transition is discontinuous, the globule-coil transition is continuous. At moderate or high values of $ε_{\rm b}$ the intermediate globular phase disappears and the polymer has only a discontinuous crystal-coil transition. When an external force is applied, the force-induced collapse transition will either be continuous or discontinuous, depending on whether the polymer is originally in the globular or the crystal phase at zero force. The simulation results also demonstrate an interesting scaling behavior of the polymer at the force-induced globule-coil transition.

EU PSI legislation

description: The 2019 PSI – Open Data Directive represents the latest major upgrade of the PSI legislation in the EU. It amends previous PSI directives which first introduced a regulatory framework for Public Sector Information establishing the principle of reuse by default. With the 2019 revision Public Sector Bodies covered by the Directive can now benefit from a more comprehensive set of rules that regulate the reuse of data and information that they hold. The PSI – Open Data Directive poses an even stronger requirement on reuse by default, expands the type of PSB covered and, very importantly for Open Science, establishes the principle that research data resulting from publicly funded research must be Open Access by default. What is the PSI? PSI Stands for Public Sector Information and has been a directive since 2003 in order to regulate use of public sector information and to encourage as much public sector to be openly available. In 2017 it changed to the Open Data Directive which provides a common legal framework for government held data.

description: The dispersive approach to power corrections is given a precise implementation, valid beyond single gluon exchange, in the framework of Sudakov resummation for deep inelastic scattering and the Drell-Yan process. It is shown that the assumption of infrared finite Sudakov effective couplings implies the universality of the corresponding infrared fixed points. This property is closely tied to the universality of the virtual contributions to space-like and time-like processes, encapsulated in the second logarithmic derivative of the quark form factor.

description: Millions of people have been infected and lakhs of people have lost their lives due to the worldwide ongoing novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. It is of utmost importance to identify the future infected cases and the virus spread rate for advance preparation in the healthcare services to avoid deaths. Accurately forecasting the spread of COVID-19 is an analytical and challenging real-world problem to the research community. Therefore, we use day level information of COVID-19 spread for cumulative cases from whole world and 10 mostly affected countries; US, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Russia, Iran, United Kingdom, Turkey, and India. We utilize the temporal data of coronavirus spread from January 22, 2020 to May 20, 2020. We model the evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak, and perform prediction using ARIMA and Prophet time series forecasting models. Effectiveness of the models are evaluated based on the mean absolute error, root mean square error, root relative squared error, and mean absolute percentage error. Our analysis can help in understanding the trends of the disease outbreak, and provide epidemiological stage information of adopted countries. Our investigations show that ARIMA model is more effective for forecasting COVID-19 prevalence. The forecasting results have potential to assist governments to plan policies to contain the spread of the virus.

Ο ρόλος της μετασχηματιστικής μάθησης είναι να βοηθήσει το άτομο να ξεπεράσει τη γνωστική ή ακόμα και συναισθηματική κρίση που θα επέλθει με το να επανεκτιμήσει αυτά τα προβληματικά πλαίσια αναφοράς και να ελέγξει την αξιοπιστία τους, ούτως ώστε να αποδεσμευτεί από αυτά και να προβεί σε νέους τρόπους σκέψης και ερμηνείας των εμπειριών του.Στην παρούσα εργασία εξετάζεται η θεωρία της μετασχηματιστικής μάθησης μέσα από το έργο του εμπνευστή της, Jack Mezirow, ενώ παρουσιάζονται και παραδείγματα αυτής από την εκπαιδευτική πράξη.
description: People make meaning of their new experience, in order to act, using meaning schemes, which they have already constructed from past experiences. In these meaning schemes are placed some personal stable values and biases. However, it is possible in some cases, that the constructed schemes are proved to be problematic, while they fail to make meaning of a new experience, or the new meaning is contradicted to an old one. In these cases, transformative learning can lead the disoriented person to overcome this problematic situation by reassessing and transforming the old meaning schemes. As a result, he will be able to perceive everything in a different way.This paper presents and analyses the transformative learning theory through the work of Jack Mezirow.Furthermore, it introduces some applications of transformative learning in adult education, which have emanated from personal research.
Pure decoherence in quantum systems

description: A popular model of decoherence based on the linear coupling to harmonic oscillator heat baths is analized and shown to be inappropriate in the regime where decoherence dominates over energy dissipation, called pure decoherence regime. The similar mechanism essentially related to the energy conservation implies that, on the contrary to the recent conjectures, chaotic environments can be less efficient decoherers than regular ones. Finally, the elastic scattering mechanism is advocated as the simplest source of pure decoherence.

description: It has been hypothesized that the most likely atomic rearrangement mechanism during grain boundary (GB) migration is the one that minimizes the lengths of atomic displacements in the dichromatic pattern. In this work, we recast the problem of atomic displacement minimization during GB migration as an optimal transport (OT) problem. Under the assumption of a small potential energy barrier for atomic rearrangement, the principle of stationary action applied to GB migration is reduced to the determination of the Wasserstein metric for two point sets. In order to test the minimum distance hypothesis, optimal displacement patterns predicted on the basis of a regularized OT based forward model are compared to molecular dynamics (MD) GB migration data for a variety of GB types and temperatures. Limits of applicability of the minimum distance hypothesis and interesting consequences of the OT formulation are discussed in the context of MD data analysis for twist GBs, general Σ3 twin boundaries and a tilt GB that exhibits shear coupling. The forward model may be used to predict atomic displacement patterns for arbitrary disconnection modes and a variety of metastable states, facilitating the analysis of multimodal GB migration data.
Force--induced depinning of directed polymers

description: We present an approach to studying directed polymers in interaction with a defect line and subject to a force, which pulls them away from the line. We consider in particular the case of inhomogeneous interactions. We first give a formula relating the free energy of these models to the free energy of the corresponding ones in which the force is switched off. We then show how to detect the presence of a re-entrant transition without fully solving the model. We discuss some models in detail and show that inhomogeneous interaction, e.g. disordered interactions, may induce the re-entrance phenomenon.

description: We investigate target mass effects in the unpolarized virtual photon structure functions $F_2^γ(x,Q^2,P^2)$ and $F_L^γ(x,Q^2,P^2)$ in perturbative QCD for the kinematical region $Λ^2 \ll P^2 \ll Q^2$, where $-Q^2(-P^2)$ is the mass squared of the probe (target) photon and $Λ$ is the QCD scale parameter. We obtain the Nachtmann moments for the structure functions and then, by inverting the moments, we get the expressions in closed form for $F_2^γ(x,Q^2,P^2)$ up to the next-to-next-to-leading order and for $F_L^γ(x,Q^2,P^2)$ up to the next-to-leading order, both of which include the target mass corrections. Numerical analysis exhibits that target mass effects appear at large $x$ and become sizable near $x_{\rm max}(=1/(1+\frac{P^2}{Q^2}))$, the maximal value of $x$, as the ratio $P^2/Q^2$ increases.

Bibliotheken

description: Die Zusammenarbeit in Bibliotheken zeichnet sich durch eine ständige Kommunikation, Koordination und Kollaboration und dem damit verbundenen Wissens- und Erfahrungsaustausch zwischen Mitarbeitenden aus. Im Wissens- und Informationszeitalter des 21. Jahrhunderts müssen sich Bibliotheken mit einem veränderten Rollenbild und mit neuen Anforderungen und Bedürfnissen ihrer Kundschaft auseinandersetzen. Die ohnehin schon wissensintensiven Dienstleistungen von Bibliotheken erfahren zurzeit einen wachsenden Bedarf an Wissen und Information, damit die an sie gestellten Anforderungen erfüllt werden können. Dadurch gewinnt die Spezialisierung und damit das Expertenwissen der einzelnen Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter immer stärker an Bedeutung. Außerdem schließen sich immer mehr Bibliotheken zu kollaborativen Netzwerken wie zum Beispiel dem IDS (Informationsverbund Deutschschweiz) oder RERO (Réseau des bibliothèques de Suisse occidentale) zusammen. Verbundsbibliotheken stehen heute vor der Herausforderung, dass nicht nur ihre jeweiligen intra-organisationalen Kernkompetenzen (Prahalad & Hamel 1990) für die langfristige Zukunftssicherung ausreichen, sondern dass vor allem die Gesamtattraktivität des Verbundes für den Kunden ausschlaggebend sein wird. Es stellt sich den Bibliotheken also die Frage, wie durch die bessere Nutzung und Erzeugung von individuellem und kollektivem organisationalen Wissen gemeinsam an kundenorientierten Lösungen gearbeitet werden kann.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία επιδιώκει να παρουσιάσει τον τρόπο με τον οποίο παρουσιάζονται οι Έλληνες και οι άλλοι λαοί στα σχολικά βιβλία Ιστορίας που εισήχθησαν το σχολικό έτος 2006-2007. Στόχος είναι να ανιχνευθεί ο τρόπος με τον οποίο κατασκευάζονται η ιστορική μνήμη και η εθνική ταυτότητα, σκιαγραφώντας έτσι την αντίληψη που είναι πιθανό να διαμορφώσουν οι μελλοντικοί πολίτες για τον εθνικό τους «εαυτό» (national ‘‘self’’) αλλά και για τους γείτονες λαούς, δηλαδή τον εθνικό «άλλο» (national ‘‘other’’).Η εργασία χωρίζεται σε δύο μέρη, το θεωρητικό και το ερευνητικό. Στο πρώτο μέρος γίνεται λόγος για την Παιδαγωγική της Ειρήνης (Peace Pedagogy), για την Εκπαίδευση για την Ειρήνη (Peace Education), για το Σχολικό Εγχειρίδιο (Textbook), για τη Διεθνή Έρευνα των Διδακτικών Εγχειριδίων (International Textbook Research) αλλά και για το ρόλο της εικονογράφησης (the role of Textbook Pictures).Στο δεύτερο μέρος γίνεται η παρουσίαση της έρευνας των σχολικών βιβλίων Ιστορίας αλλά και των τετραδίων εργασιών (workbooks) που τα συνοδεύουν, τόσο ως προς το κείμενο όσο και ως προς τις εικόνες που το περιβάλουν. Η παρουσίαση ακολουθεί την πορεία της ποιοτικής ανάλυσης περιεχομένου (qualitative content analysis), που επιλέχθηκε ως ερευνητική μέθοδος.
description: The current essay focuses on the way Greeks and the other nations are presented in the new textbooks and workbooks of History in Elementary school. The purpose of the author is to enlight the way the historic memory and the national identity are shaped, so that it will be understood –up to a point- what the future Greeks will think about their ‘self’ and the other nations due to the books.The essay is separated in two parts. In the first part, the basic relevant theory and terminology are presented. In particular, the author is referring to Peace Pedagogy, to Peace Education, to Textbooks, to International Textbook Research and to the role of Textbook Pictures.In the second part, the analysis of the textbooks, the workbooks and their pictures is presented according to the process of the qualitative content analysis that had been chosen as the method of analysis.

Nonperturbative and Perturbative Aspects of Photo- and Electroproduction of Vector Mesons

description: We discuss various aspects of vector meson production, first analysing the interplay between perturbative and nonperturbative aspects of the QCD calculation. Using a general method adapted to incorporate both perturbative and nonpertubative aspects, we show that nonperturbative effects are important for all experimentally available values of the photon virtuality Q2. We compare the huge amount of experimental information now available with our theoretical results obtained using a specific nonperturbative model without free parameters, showing that quite simple features are able to explain the data.

Cognitive Networks Achieve Throughput Scaling of a Homogeneous Network

description: We study two distinct, but overlapping, networks that operate at the same time, space, and frequency. The first network consists of $n$ randomly distributed \emph{primary users}, which form either an ad hoc network, or an infrastructure-supported ad hoc network with $l$ additional base stations. The second network consists of $m$ randomly distributed, ad hoc secondary users or cognitive users. The primary users have priority access to the spectrum and do not need to change their communication protocol in the presence of secondary users. The secondary users, however, need to adjust their protocol based on knowledge about the locations of the primary nodes to bring little loss to the primary network's throughput. By introducing preservation regions around primary receivers and avoidance regions around primary base stations, we propose two modified multihop routing protocols for the cognitive users. Base on percolation theory, we show that when the secondary network is denser than the primary network, both networks can simultaneously achieve the same throughput scaling law as a stand-alone network. Furthermore, the primary network throughput is subject to only a vanishingly fractional loss. Specifically, for the ad hoc and the infrastructure-supported primary models, the primary network achieves sum throughputs of order $n^{1/2}$ and $\max\{n^{1/2},l\}$, respectively. For both primary network models, for any $δ>0$, the secondary network can achieve sum throughput of order $m^{1/2-δ}$ with an arbitrarily small fraction of outage. Thus, almost all secondary source-destination pairs can communicate at a rate of order $m^{-1/2-δ}$.
