description: Society and politics are increasingly demanding a shift to more sustainable behavior, especially from manufacturing companies. This can be a major challenge as they face technological, regulatory, economic, supply chain, and cultural hurdles when transitioning to more sustainable practices. However, data spaces offer new ways to sharing data can help to accurately calculate CO2 emissions and develop new business models based on it. To illustrate the impact of data spaces on sustainability we considered the example of the product carbon footprint. Doing so, we analyzed public data of the automotive network Catena-X and highlighted the added value for each actor in the ecosystem using the e³value modeling language. Supplementary, we transferred our findings into business model elements (value proposition, value creation and delivery, and value capture).

ÉTYMOLOGIE. — Côtes dorsales longues.
DESCRIPTION
 À 10-15 cm sous la surface du sédiment on trouve des formes proches de celles des niveaux superficiels, c’est-à-dire C. i. imitans (Rampal 1974, 1975) et on a récolté aussi un spécimen très différent de cette dernière mais qui possède aussi trois côtes dorsales: corps massif, bords presque parallèles, haut et légèrement bossu en vue de profil; épine postérieure courte (Lp/L = 0,27) et à courbure dorsale très accusée; épines latérales épaisses, peu élancées (l/L = 0,66) et très recourbées postérieurement. Les trois côtes dorsales sont très longues: elles s’étendent sur plus de 72 % de la longueur (42-43 % chez C. imitans) (Fig. 7H, I). Ces nombreux caractères originaux nous permettent de classer ce spécimen, nouveau pour la science, au rang spécifique. Nous le nommons Cavolinia longicostata n. sp.

description: Today's cloud service architectures follow a "one size fits all" deployment strategy where the same service version instantiation is provided to the end users. However, consumers are broad and different applications have different accuracy and responsiveness requirements, which as we demonstrate renders the "one size fits all" approach inefficient in practice. We use a production-grade speech recognition engine, which serves several thousands of users, and an open source computer vision based system, to explain our point. To overcome the limitations of the "one size fits all" approach, we recommend Tolerance Tiers where each MLaaS tier exposes an accuracy/responsiveness characteristic, and consumers can programmatically select a tier. We evaluate our proposal on the CPU-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) engine and cutting-edge neural networks for image classification deployed on both CPUs and GPUs. The results show that our proposed approach provides an MLaaS cloud service architecture that can be tuned by the end API user or consumer to outperform the conventional "one size fits all" approach.

description: Motivation des vorliegenden Work-in-Progress-Beitrags ist die Beobachtung, dass in der Wirtschaftsinformatik (WI) Menschen zwar in der Regel als Elemente des Informationssystems (IS) einer Organisation angesehen werden, dass aber eine tiefergehende und explizite Auseinandersetzung mit ihnen als Systemelement kaum zu finden ist. Es wird daher die Frage aufgeworfen, ob ein tieferes Verständnis für die WI als Wissenschaft allgemein und besonders für Fragestellungen der IT-Governance und des Informationsmanagements von Interesse und von praktischer Relevanz ist. Denn Menschen nehmen in IS verschiedene Rollen ein, mit jeweils spezifischen Zielen und Interessen. Es ist regelmäßig zu beobachten, dass hieraus Zielkonflikte und Interessengegensätze resultieren, die die Entwicklung und Einführung und später auch die Nutzung und Akzeptanz von IT-Lösungen nicht nur beeinflussen, sondern ursächlich für deren Scheitern sein können. Aber wird dies angemessen reflektiert? Werden Rollen klar unterschieden? Und lassen sich für die verschiedenen Rollen Interessen und Ziele identifizieren? Dieser Beitrag zielt auf die Begründung der Relevanz der skizzierten Problemstellung für WI und IT-Governance sowie die grundlegende Untersuchung des Verständnisses und des Stands der Forschung. Dabei werden verschiedene Perspektiven eingenommen, um die Problemstellung so aus unterschiedlichen Richtungen zu beleuchten. Zum einen werden Modelle der IT-Governance betrachtet. Diese beschreiben zahlreiche Rollen mit z.T. klaren Definitionen. Jedoch bleibt eine Betrachtung und Untersuchung konkreter Ziele und Interessen aus – so wie potenzielle Konflikte und Opportunismen. In der WI-Grundlagenliteratur konnten – zum anderen – zwar Rollen identifiziert werden, allerdings ohne einheitliche Definitionen und auch ohne einen grundlegenden Konsens, auch mit Blick auf die mit ihnen verbundenen Ziele und Interessen. Insgesamt gibt es – darüber hinaus – nur wenige wissenschaftliche Beiträge, die diese Problemstellung adressieren. Durch die eher stiefmütterliche Betrachtung der Ziele und Interessen verschiedener Rollen ist es bisher nicht möglich, geeignete Modelle zu erarbeiten oder aus anderen Disziplinen anzuwenden/zu übertragen, obgleich die vereinzelte Anwendung der Principal-Agent-Theorie in wissenschaftlichen Beiträgen erste interessante Ansatzpunkte aufzeigt.

description: Recent advances in speech technologies have produced new tools that can be used to improve the performance and flexibility of speaker recognition While there are few degrees of freedom or alternative methods when using fingerprint or iris identification techniques, speech offers much more flexibility and different levels for performing recognition: the system can force the user to speak in a particular manner, different for each attempt to enter. Also with voice input the system has other degrees of freedom, such as the use of knowledge/codes that only the user knows, or dialectical/semantical traits that are difficult to forge. This paper offers and overview of the state of the art in speaker recognition, with special emphasis on the pros and contras, and the current research lines. The current research lines include improved classification systems, and the use of high level information by means of probabilistic grammars. In conclusion, speaker recognition is far away from being a technology where all the possibilities have already been explored.

description: It is the purpose of the paper to describe the virtues of time-frequency methods for signal processing applications, having astronomical time series in mind. Different methods are considered and their potential usefulness respectively drawbacks are discussed and illustrated by examples. As areas where one can hope for a successful application of joint time-frequency analysis (JTFA), we describe specifically the problem of signal denoising as well as the question of signal separation which allows to separate signals (possibly overlapping in time or frequency, but) which are living on disjoint parts of the time-frequency plane. Some recipes for practical use of the algorithms are also provided.

description: Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) quantum defects in diamond are sensitive detectors of magnetic fields. Due to their atomic size and optical readout capability, they have been used for magnetic resonance spectroscopy of nanoscale samples on diamond surfaces. Here we present a protocol for fabricating NV-diamond chips and for constructing and operating a simple, low-cost quantum diamond spectrometer for performing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy in nanoscale volumes. The instrument is based on a commercially-available diamond chip, with an ion-implanted NV-ensemble at a depth of ~ 10 nm below the diamond surface. The spectrometer operates at low magnetic fields (~ 300 G) and requires standard optical and microwave components for NV spin preparation, manipulation and readout. We demonstrate the utility of this device for nanoscale proton and fluorine NMR spectroscopy, as well as for the detection of transition metals via ESR noise spectroscopy. We estimate that the full protocol requires 2-3 months to implement, depending on the availability of equipment, diamond substrates, and user experience.
The Emergence of Multiple Populations in Radiation Hydrodynamics Simulations of Cluster Formation

description: We present a new approach to understanding star-to-star helium abundance variations within globular clusters. We begin with detailed radiation hydrodynamics simulations of cluster formation within giant molecular clouds, and investigate the conditions under which multiple populations could be created. Chemical enrichment occurs dynamically as the cluster is assembled. We test two extreme mechanisms for injection of enriched gas within the clusters, and find that realistic multiple populations can be formed in both mechanisms. The stochastic cluster formation histories are dictated by the inherent randomness of the timing and location of the formation of small clusters, which rapidly merge to build up the larger cluster, in combination with continual accretion of gas from the cloud. These cluster formation histories naturally produce a diversity of abundance patterns across the massive cluster population. We conclude that multiple populations are a natural outcome of the typical mode of star cluster formation.

description: Although 98% of the solar material consists of hydrogen and helium, the remaining chemical elements contribute in a discernible way to the thermodynamic quantities. The contribution of various heavy elements in a set of thermodynamic quantities has been examined. It has emerged that prominent signatures of individual elements exist, and that these effects are greatest in the ionization zones, typically located near the bottom of the convection zone. The main result is that part of the features found here depend strongly both on the given species (atom or ion) and its detailed internal partition function, whereas other features only depend on the presence of the species itself, not on details such as the internal partition function. The latter features are obviously well suited for a helioseismic abundance determination, while the former features present a unique opportunity to use the sun as a laboratory to test the validity of physical theories of partial ionization in a relatively dense and hot plasma. This domain of plasma physics has so far no competition from terrestrial laboratories. [shortened version of original abstract]

description: In einer Zeit, in der der E-Commerce stetig wächst, stehen Unternehmen vor der Herausforderung, das Retourenmanagement sowohl ökonomisch als auch ökologisch zu gestalten und zu optimieren. Diese Case Study präsentiert ein Klassifikationsmodell zur Identifizierung von nicht mehr verwendbaren Retouren, das in Zusammenarbeit mit einem deutschen Onlinehändler für Möbel und Wohnaccessoires erarbeitet wurde. Mittels eines Datensatzes von etwa 300.000 Retouren kann das Klassifikationsmodell die Wahrscheinlichkeit ermitteln, ob ein retournierter Artikel wieder angeboten werden kann oder ob er entsorgt werden muss. In letzterem Fall kann eine Entsorgung durch den Kunden dafür sorgen, dass die Anzahl der Rücktransporte, die Transportkosten und die umweltschädlichen Emissionen reduziert werden. Methodisch stützt sich die Modellentwicklung auf die Open-Source-Software KNIME und das Verfahren Gradient Boosted Trees. Die Modellvalidierung erfolgt durch anerkannte Evaluationsmetriken. Die Ergebnisse zeigen das große Potenzial einer Kostensenkung und einer möglichen Verbesserung der ökologischen Bilanz im Retourenmanagement auf.

description: Migrants from sub-Saharan Africa (misSA) in Germany are disproportionally affected by HIV. To develop targeted interventions, it is necessary to collect data on knowledge, attitudes, behaviour and practices (KABP) regarding HIV and sexual health. However, misSA are difficult to reach and to sample: a) it is unknown how many people with an African migration background are living in Germany, and b) HIV and sexual health topics are highly stigmatized in these communities. We utilized a community-based participatory health research approach to develop a study protocol and conducted a KABP survey on HIV and sexual health among misSA in six German cities between 2015 and 2016. A convenience sample of 2,879 participants was recruited by 99 trained peer researchers through outreach in their local communities. Due to steering of recruitment, the study population reflected the official registered misSA population well and was diverse in terms of sociodemographic characteristics. Peer researchers mainly recruited participants that were similar to themselves with regard to gender, age and regions of origin. Male and younger peer researchers more often recruited participants from vulnerable sub-groups like migrants with a probably undocumented legal status who could not have been reached by probability sampling based on population registers.

description: We consider the task of generating functionally correct code using large language models (LLMs). The correctness of generated code critically depends on the prompt used to query the given base LLM. We formulate the problem of finding the appropriate prompt as a combinatorial search process and propose a novel Bayesian optimization (BO) approach referred to as BO for Code GENeration (BODE-GEN). BODE-GEN performs an adaptive data-driven search over prompts guided by training data in the form of prompts tried and the functional accuracy of the generated code over a set of given test cases. The key insight is to perform BO in continuous embedding space by using an auxiliary LLM to bridge the gap between discrete prompt space and continuous embedding space. We leverage two synergistic ideas, namely, random projections and dimensionality scaled priors, to build effective Gaussian process-based surrogate models over the high-dimensional embedding space. Our extensive experiments on the HumanEval+ benchmark using multiple base LLMs show that BODE-GEN significantly improves code generation accuracy compared to fixed prompts and manual prompt engineering. Additionally, we demonstrate that BODE-GEN is sample-efficient, requiring relatively few iterations of BO to achieve substantial gains in code accuracy.

description: The Schrödinger operator on a metric tree is a family of ordinary differential operators on its edges complemented by certain matching conditions at the vertices. The regular trees are highly symmetric. This allows one to construct an orthogonal decomposition of the space L_2 on the tree which reduces the Schrödinger operator with any symmetric weight. Using this decomposition, we analyse the spectrum of such operators, including the free Laplacian, under various assumptions about the tree and the potential.

description: ELIXIR’s International Strategy describes current activities of international relevance, and planned implementation actions to reinforce ELIXIR’s global significance and impact. An update is released on an annual basis. In the context of this document, the term ‘International’ means ‘beyond Europe’, with ‘Europe’ defined as the countries of the European Research Area1 (ERA). The Strategy is articulated around four main objectives: (1) scale-up the international user base of ELIXIR’s Services, (2) improve bioinformatics services and promote global standards, (3) expand Membership in ELIXIR beyond Europe, and (4) ensure that ELIXIR is recognised as an infrastructure of global relevance, and a partner of choice by intergovernmental organisations. The international audience of the Strategy encompasses users of bioinformatics services, national-level bioinformatics infrastructures, and government officials in Ministries. Also targeted by this Strategy are international bioinformatics-related initiatives􏰀 and organisations, and intergovernmental organisations. Closer to home, the Strategy aims to raise awareness of ELIXIR’s global significance within Member countries, and guide efforts to ensure coherent implementation actions in support of the objectives of the Strategy. The strategy will be implemented through a concrete set of Actions, described in Annex I, each relating to one of the four specific Objectives.

description: The newly discovered supernova remnant G266.2-1.2 (RX J0852.0-4622), along the line of sight to the Vela SNR, was observed with ASCA for 120 ks. We find that the X-ray spectrum is featureless, and well described by a power law, extending to three the class of shell-type SNRs dominated by nonthermal X-ray emission. Although the presence of the Vela SNR compromises our ability to accurately determine the column density, the GIS data appear to indicate absorption considerably in excess of that for Vela itself, indicating that G266.2-1.2 may be several times more distant. An unresolved central source may be an associated neutron star, though difficulties with this interpretation persist.

description: We present a numerical tool Shiva designed to simulate the dust destruction in warm neutral, warm ionized, and hot ionized media under the influence of photo-processing, sputtering, and shattering. The tool is designed primarily to study the evolution of hydrogenated amorphous carbons (HACs), but options to simulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), silicate and graphite grains are also implemented. HAC grain photo-processing includes both dehydrogenation and carbon atom loss. Dehydrogenation leads to material transformation from aliphatic to aromatic structure. Simultaneously, some other physical properties (band gap energy, optical properties, etc.) of the material change as well. The Shiva tool allows calculating the time-dependent evolution of the dust size distribution depending on hydrogen, helium, and carbon number densities and ionization state, gas temperature, radiation flux, relative gas-dust and grain-grain velocities. For HAC grains the evolution of band gap energy distribution is also computed. We describe a dust evolution model, on which the tool relies, and present evolutionary time-scales for dust grains of different sizes depending on external conditions. This allows a user to estimate quickly a lifetime of a specific dust grain under relevant conditions. As an example of the tool usage, we demonstrate how grain properties and corresponding infrared spectra evolve in photo-dissociation regions, H II regions, and supernova remnant shocks.

description: It has been conjectured for some time that, for any integer n\ge 2, any real number ε>0 and any transcendental real number ξ, there would exist infinitely many algebraic integers αof degree at most n with the property that |ξ-α| < H(α)^{-n+ε}, where H(α) denotes the height of α. Although this is true for n=2, we show here that, for n=3, the optimal exponent of approximation is not 3 but (3+\sqrt{5})/2 = 2.618...

description: Below the scale of supergranules we find that cellular flows are present in the solar photosphere at two distinct size scales, approximately 2 Mm and 4 Mm, with distinct characteristic times. Simultaneously present in the flow is a non-cellular component, with turbulent scaling properties and containing 30% of the flow energy. These results are obtained by means of wavelet spectral analysis and modeling of vertical photospheric motions in a 2-hour sequence of 120 SOHO/MDI, high resolution, Doppler images near disk center. The wavelets permit detection of specific local flow patterns corresponding to convection cells.

description: In cooperation with a medium-sized industrial partner, we developed and evaluated two ML-based approaches for quality control in glass bottle printing. Our first approach utilized various filters to suppress reflections, image quality metrics for image comparison, and supervised classification models, resulting in an accuracy of 84%. We used the ORB algorithm for image alignment and to estimate print rotations, which may indicate manufacturing anomalies. In our second approach, we fine-tuned pre-trained CNN models, which resulted in an accuracy of 87%. Utilizing Grad-CAM, an Explainable AI method, we localized and visualized frequently defective bottle print regions without explicitly training our models for this use case. These insights can be used to optimize the actual manufacturing process beyond classification. This paper also describes our general approach and the challenges we encountered in practice with data collection during ongoing production, unsupervised preselection, and labeling.
Alcohol Consumption, Drinking Context, and Subjective Responses to Alcohol in Binge-Drinking Episodes: An Ecological Momentary Assessment Investigation
Creators: name: Fischer, Andrew
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2021

description: Binge drinking is common among young adults, putting them at increased risk for severe alcohol related health outcomes and mortality. Past research links subjective responses to alcohol (i.e., how individuals experience its rewarding or impairing effects) to risk for future negative alcohol related health outcomes. Further work demonstrates that context (e.g. drinking in the presence of others or in certain locations such as bars and restaurants) may increase the rewarding effects of alcohol and drive heavy binge drinking behavior. However, most research on drinking context, subjective responses to alcohol, and drinking behavior has been conducted in the laboratory or using retrospective measures, which limits ecological validity. High resolution ecological momentary assessment (HR-EMA) provides a promising solution to these limitations. HR-EMA allows researchers to measure drinking behavior and related outcomes (e.g., drinking context, alcohol subjective responses) in real time in a naturalistic setting. The present study used HR-EMA to evaluate subjective responses to alcohol in different contexts along two domains: in the presence or absence of others and in different physical locations. Participants were 21-29 year old regular heavy binge drinkers, who completed smartphone-based EMA sessions where they recorded the quantity and type of alcohol they consumed, as well as their context and subjective responses to alcohol. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) analysis revealed significantly higher standard drinks consumed and eBAC levels for participants who drank with others as opposed to alone and those who drank in bars and restaurants compared to other locations. In addition, participants reported greater reward (stimulation and wanting more alcohol) when drinking with others compared to alone and when drinking at bars and restaurants compared to other locations. Significant interactions between time and context indicate that differences in subjective responses associated with reward are especially significant later in naturalistic drinking episodes. Conclusions: Drinking in the presence of others and at certain locations associated with alcohol (e.g., bars and restaurants) increase both consumption and rewarding responses to alcohol among young adult heavy binge drinkers and present as a significant risk factor for increased alcohol use.

description: The TORCH time-of-flight detector is designed to provide particle identification in the momentum range 2-10 GeV/c over large areas. The detector exploits prompt Cherenkov light produced by charged particles traversing a 10 mm thick quartz plate. The photons propagate via total internal reflection and are focused onto a detector plane comprising position-sensitive Micro-Channel Plate Photo-Multiplier Tubes (MCP-PMT) detectors. The goal is to achieve a single-photon timing resolution of 70 ps, giving a timing precision of 15 ps per charged particle by combining the information from around 30 detected photons. The MCP-PMT detectors have been developed with a commercial partner (Photek Ltd, UK), leading to the delivery of a square tube of active area 53 $\times$ 53mm$^2$ with a granularity of 8 $\times$ 128 pixels equivalent. A large-scale demonstrator of TORCH, having a quartz plate of dimensions 660 $\times$ 1250 $\times$ 10 mm$^3$ and read out by a pair of MCP-PMTs with custom readout electronics, has been verified in a test beam campaign at the CERN PS. Preliminary results indicate that the required performance is close to being achieved. The anticipated performance of a full-scale TORCH detector at the LHCb experiment is presented.
