description: Scholarship is more and more data-driven, and as digital tools continue to evolve, sound data use practices among scholars are now essential for scientific discovery. Data reuse is central to an emerging cultural push towards a more open way of doing science. The study investigates the challenges and opportunities in reusing research data among digital humanities (DH) scholars. Its findings may serve as a case study for how disciplinary practices influence the ways in which scholars reuse data. The aim of the study is to enhance current thinking and provide insight for information and library science practitioners at the intersection of DH and data reuse. Data were collected using interviews. An analysis of semi-structured interviews with 12 DH scholars working in universities, research centres and cultural and heritage organizations internationally was performed. The study found that lack of time and resources, inconsistent data practices, technical training gaps, labour intensity and difficulties in finding data were the most challenging. Participants revealed a number of enabling factors in data reuse as well, and chief among them were collaboration and autodidacticism as a feature of DH. The results indicate a gap between data reusers and data sharers - low rates of sharing reduce the amount of findable and accessible data available for reuse. Both data reusers and data sharers must begin to see themselves as embedded into the research data lifecycle within the research infrastructure. The recommendation includes policy, education, and structural changes to the research culture, including data literacy, the development of self-paced RDM training material, improvements to data discovery systems, rewarding data sharing, and creation of curation and preservation networks to help with data stewardship. The primary audience for this thesis is DH practitioners, librarians, funders and data repository managers and designers but findings around researcher motivations for data reuse may be helpful for researchers in the humanities and social sciences.

description: Multi-photon interference results in modulations of output probabilities with phase shift periods that are much shorter than 2 Pi. Here, we investigate the physics behind these statistical patterns in the case of well-defined photon numbers in the input and output modes of a two-path interferometer. We show that the periodicity of the multi-photon interference is related to the weak value of the unobserved intensity difference between the two arms of the interferometer. This means that the operator relations between the photon number differences in input, path, and output can be used to determine the periodicity of the experimentally observed quantum interference, establishing an important link between the classical causality of random phase interference and quantum effects that depend on the superposition of classically distinct possibilities.

description: We investigate flavor phenomenology and dark matter in the context of scotogenic model. In this model, the neutrino masses are generated through radiative corrections at one-loop level. Considering the neutrino mixing matrix to be of tri-bimaximal form with additional perturbations to accommodate the recently observed non-zero value of reactor mixing angle $θ_{13}$, we obtain the relation between various neutrino oscillation parameters and the model parameters. Working in degenerate heavy neutrino mass spectrum, we obtain light neutrino masses obeying normal hierarchy and also study the relic abundance of fermionic dark matter candidate including co-annihilation effects. A viable parameter space is thus obtained, consistent with neutrino oscillation data, relic abundance and various lepton flavor violating decays such as $\ell_α\to\ell_βγ$ and $\ell_α\to 3 \, \ell_β$.

description: The dipolar glass system D-BP_(40)BPI_(60) was investigated using broadband dielectric spectroscopy over 12 decades in frequency and temperatures between 4K < T < 300 K. The complex dielectric constant reveals increasing polydispersivity with decreasing temperatures. However, no criticality can be detected in the linear components of the susceptibility: the distribution of relaxation times, as well as the mean relaxation time become infinite at T = 0 only. The nonlinear susceptibility was followed over 4 decades of frequency. Again the mean relaxation times follow a pure Arrhenius-type behavior. However, from the extrapolation of the quasistatic nonlinear susceptibility a glass transition temperature of 30 K can be deduced in reasonable agreement with the AlmeidaThouless line determined from measurements of the FC/ZFC-susceptibilities. The frequency dependence of the real and imaginary parts of the third-order susceptibility cannot be described using simple extensions from Cole-Cole or Havriliak-Negami functions.

description: Harnessing multimode waves allows high information capacity through modal expansions. Although passive multimode devices including waveguides, couplers, and multiplexers have been demonstrated for broadband responses in momentum or frequency domains, collective switching of multimodes remains a challenge, due to the difficulty in imposing consistent dynamics on all eigenmodes. Here we overcome this limitation by realizing digital switching of spatially random waves, based on supersymmetric pairs of multimode potentials. We reveal that supersymmetric transformations of any parity-symmetric potential derive the parity reversal of all eigenmodes, which allows the complete isolation of random waves at the 'off' state. Building blocks for binary and many-valued logics are then demonstrated for random waves: a harmonic pair for binary switching of arbitrary wavefronts and a Pöschl-Teller pair for multi-level switching which implements the fuzzy membership function. Our results establishing global phase matching conditions for multimode dynamics will lay the foundation of multi-channel digital photonics.

description: Zugangskontrolle und Intrusion Detection werden oft separat behandelt. Zur Erkennung von Schutzzielverletzungen wird hauptsächlich der Datenverkehr eines Netzwerkes ausgewertet - dies geschieht in einer passiven Weise. Aktive Strategien zum Erkennen von Angriffen sind nur durch neue Zugriffskontrollsysteme und kontrollierte Machtteilung möglich. In dem vorliegenden Beitrag wird eine neue Kategorisierung von Zugriffskontrollsysteme vorgestellt und insbesondere auf die kontrollierte Machtteilung eingegangen. Es wird gezeigt wie neue aktive Strategien zur Schutzzielverletzungserkennung möglich werden. Diese Strategien erlauben auch den Missbrauch berechtigter Benutzer, die ihre Befugnisse missbrauchen, zu erkennen. Ebenso können nun bekannte Ideen aus der SPAM Bekämpfung in die Zugangskontrolle übernommen werden. Ein Prototyp wurde mittels der ASCap Architektur implementiert und zeigt, dass die vorgestellten Techniken einsetzbar sind.

description: We present a new second order complete active space self-consistent field implementation to converge wavefunctions for both large active spaces and large atomic orbital (AO) bases. Our algorithm decouples the active space wavefunction solver from the orbital optimization in the microiterations, and thus may be easily combined with various modern active space solvers. We also introduce efficient approximate orbital gradient and Hessian updates, and step size determination. We demonstrate its capabilities by calculating the low-lying states of the Fe(\Roman{2})-porphine complex with modest resources using a density matrix renormalization group solver in a CAS(22,27) active space and a 3000 AO basis.

description: Large Critical Complex Infrastructures are increasingly dependent on IP networks. Reliability by redundancy and tolerance are an imperative for such dependable networks. In order to achieve the desired reliability, the detection of faults, misuse, and attacks is essential. This can be achieved by applying methods of intrusion detection. However, in large systems, these methods produce an uncontrollable vast amount of data which overwhelms human operators. This paper studies the role of alarm reduction and correlation in existing networks for building more intelligent safeguards that support and complement the decisions by the operator. We present an architecture that incorporates Intrusion Detection Systems as sensors, and provides quantitatively and qualitatively improved alarms to the human operator. Alarm reduction via static and adaptive filtering, aggregation, and correlation is demonstrated using realistic data from sensors such as Snort, Samhain, and Syslog.

description: The study of photoexcited strongly correlated materials is attracting growing interest since their rich phase diagram often translates into an equally rich out-of-equilibrium behavior, including non-thermal phases and photoinduced phase transitions. With femtosecond optical pulses, electronic and lattice degrees of freedom can be transiently decoupled, giving the opportunity of stabilizing new states of matter inaccessible by quasi-adiabatic pathways. Here we present a study of the ultrafast non-equilibrium evolution of the prototype Mott-Hubbard material V2O3, which presents a transient non-thermal phase developing immediately after photoexcitation and lasting few picoseconds. For both the insulating and the metallic phase, the formation of the transient configuration is triggered by the excitation of electrons into the bonding a1g orbital, and is then stabilized by a lattice distortion characterized by a marked hardening of the A1g coherent phonon. This configuration is in stark contrast with the thermally accessible ones - the A1g phonon frequency actually softens when heating the material. Our results show the importance of selective electron-lattice interplay for the ultrafast control of material parameters, and are of particular relevance for the optical manipulation of strongly correlated systems, whose electronic and structural properties are often strongly intertwinned.

description: Working with a gauge coupling field in a linear superfield, we construct effective Lagrangians for N=1 super-Yang-Mills theory fully compatible with the expected all-order behaviour or physical quantities. Using the one-loop dependence on its ultraviolet cutoff and anomaly matching or cancellation of R and dilatation anomalies, we obtain the Wilsonian effective Lagrangian. With similar anomaly matching or cancellation methods, we derive the effective action for gaugino condensates, as a function of the real coupling field. Both effective actions lead to a derivation of the NSVZ beta function from algebraic arguments only. The extension of results to N=2 theories or to matter systems is briefly considered. The main tool for the discussion of anomalies is a generic supercurrent structure with 16_B+16_F operators (the S multiplet), which we derive using superspace identities and field equations for a fully general gauge theory Lagrangian with the linear gauge coupling superfield, and with various U(1)_R currents. As a byproduct, we show under which conditions the S multiplet can be improved to contain the Callan-Coleman-Jackiw energy-momentum tensor whose trace measures the breaking of scale invariance.

Anti-Patterns in JDK Security and Refactorings

Subjects: subject: Vulnerability Assessment
subject: 004

description: This paper underlines the importance of security awareness whilst programming Java applications. Several problems in current JDK implementations are demonstrated that allow to undermine the security of Java applications. Coding errors and quality problems in current Java distributions create possibilities to create covert channels, cause resource blocking and denial-of-service attacks. To make things worse Java components are often deployed according to the AllPermissions antipattern with non-restrictive security settings, which allows bugs on the system layer to be exploited by attackers. Coping with this antipattern from the user side is connected with the definition of adequate permission sets. A tool that automates this time consuming task is presented as a refactoring for the AllPermission antipattern.

description: We study experimentally and theoretically a coherently-driven strongly-coupled quantum dot-microcavity system. Our focus is on physics of the unexplored intermediate excitation regime where the resonant laser field dresses a strongly-coupled single exciton-photon (polariton) system resulting in a ladder of laser-dressed Jaynes-Cummings states. In that case both the coupling of the emitter to the confined light field of the microcavity and to the light field of the external laser are equally important, as proved by observation of injection pulling of the polariton branches by an external laser. This intermediate interaction regime is of particular interest since it connects the purely quantum mechanical Jaynes-Cummings ladder and the semi-classical Autler-Townes ladder. Exploring the driving strength-dependence of the mutually coupled system we establish the maximum in the resonance fluorescence signal to be a robust fingerprint of the intermediate regime and observe signatures indicating the laser-dressed Jaynes-Cummings ladder. In order to address the underlying physics we excite the coupled system via the matter component of fermionic nature undergoing saturation - in contrast to commonly used cavity-mediated excitation.

description: The present work studies the thermal degradation of laser-heated poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) as the heating duration increases. Its damage morphology, chemical composition, crystallinity content, and mechanical properties are examined with optical microscopy, attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, Raman spectroscopy, and continuous stiffness measurement nanoindentation. The applicability of those methods in detecting the thermal degradation of laser-heated PEEK and assessing the induced thermal damage is highlighted. Results show that short-time laser heating acts as an annealing process that improves the crystallinity and hardness on the affected surface of PEEK by up to 5.1% and 10.8% respectively. With a further increase in the heating duration, surface carbonisation occurs and a char layer is formed. Surface carbonisation is associated with the thermal limits of PEEK in laser heating decreasing by up to 50% its hardness and by 45% its indentation modulus. Finally, the char layer is found to act as a shielding mechanism that protects the bulk PEEK from the applied thermal load, resulting in mostly superficial thermally induced damage.

OS Agnostic Sandboxing Using Virtual CPUs

Subjects: subject: 004

description: Commodity operating systems have a poor track record when it comes to security. Malware and viruses aim at exploiting vulnerabilities and e.g. try to steal the users private data. Unfortunately most of todays operating systems do not allow to enforce the principle of least authority as their security mechanisms are to coarse grained. In this work we show how we built an OS agnostic sandbox using virtual CPUs. It allows the execution of native code and thus does not wear the burden of an inherent performance penalty. To show the efficiency and usability of our solution we have built a secure execution container for web browser plugins. Background Sandboxing techniques were developed to jail a program into a restricted execution environment [WLAG93]. Per default critical operations (e.g. syscalls) are disallowed and as such trap into the sandbox host. There for example arguments of the critical operation can be inspected and sanitized. Although e.g. the Java VM provides a restricted execution environment it is often disliked due to its performance penalty. Other sandboxing techniques like Googles Native Client (NaCl) rely on specific characteristics of the underlying platform. Design The virtual CPU model (vCPU) is an execution abstraction that strongly resembles to physical CPUs [LWP2010]. It features upcalls, virtual interrupts, a state indicator and a state save area. The vCPU model allows for sequential execution while supporting control ow diversions upon events. We chose to base our architecture on the vCPU model as it allows the traditional thread model to be easily combined with an asynchronous event model. Our architecture is designed to maximize data throughput with a zero-copy shared-memory interface between a sandboxed client and the host. The computational overhead is minimized by allowing native execution. To minimize event latency we designed an efficient event notification mechanism using event buffers. First Results Our vCPU model is implemented using ptrace which allows the client to run natively. The measurements show that sandboxed clients perform comparable to native performance. The event latency is constant and does not depend on the number of concurrently running vCPU threads. Preliminary measurements indicate that the data throughput is sufficient for multimedia applications.

description: We study gravitational stealth configurations emerging on a charged dilatonic $(1+1)$-D black hole spacetime. We accomplish this by considering the coupling of a non-minimally scalar field $ϕ$ and a self-interacting scalar field $Ψ$ living in a $(1+1)$-D charged black hole background. In addition, the self-interacting potential for $Ψ$ is obtained which exhibits transitions for some specific values of the non-minimal parameter. Atypically, we found that the solutions for these stealth scalar fields do not have a dependence on the temporal coordinate.

description: Spatial whole-brain Bayesian modeling of task-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a great computational challenge. Most of the currently proposed methods therefore do inference in subregions of the brain separately or do approximate inference without comparison to the true posterior distribution. A popular such method, which is now the standard method for Bayesian single subject analysis in the SPM software, is introduced in Penny et al. (2005b). The method processes the data slice-by-slice and uses an approximate variational Bayes (VB) estimation algorithm that enforces posterior independence between activity coefficients in different voxels. We introduce a fast and practical Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) scheme for exact inference in the same model, both slice-wise and for the whole brain using a 3D prior on activity coefficients. The algorithm exploits sparsity and uses modern techniques for efficient sampling from high-dimensional Gaussian distributions, leading to speed-ups without which MCMC would not be a practical option. Using MCMC, we are for the first time able to evaluate the approximate VB posterior against the exact MCMC posterior, and show that VB can lead to spurious activation. In addition, we develop an improved VB method that drops the assumption of independent voxels a posteriori. This algorithm is shown to be much faster than both MCMC and the original VB for large datasets, with negligible error compared to the MCMC posterior.

description: We report the results of the monitoring campaign of the transient X-ray pulsar SMC X-2 performed with the Swift/XRT telescope over the period of 2015 September - 2016 January during the Type II outburst. During this event, the bolometric luminosity of the source ranged from $\simeq10^{39}$ down to several$\times10^{34}$ erg/s. Moreover, we discovered its dramatic drop by a factor of more than 100 below the limiting value of $L_{\rm lim}\simeq4\times10^{36}$ erg/s, which can be interpreted as a transition to the propeller regime. These measurements make SMC X-2 the sixth pulsating X-ray source where such a transition is observed and allow us to estimate the magnetic field of the neutron star in the system $B\simeq3\times10^{12}$ G, which is in agreement with independent results of the spectral analysis.

description: We calculate the Casimir energy of a massless scalar field in a cavity formed by nearby parallel plates orbiting a rotating spherical body surrounded by quintessence, investigating the influence of the gravitational field on that energy, at zero temperature. This influence includes the effects due to the spacetime dragging caused by the source rotation as well as those ones due to the quintessence. We show that the energy depends on all the involved parameters, as source mass, angular momentum and quintessence state parameter, for any radial coordinate and polar angle. We show that at the north pole the Casimir energy is not influenced by the quintessential matter. At the equatorial plane, when the quintessence is canceled, the result obtained in the literature is recovered. Finally, constraints in the quintessence parameters are obtained from the uncertainty in the current measurements of Casimir effect.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to explore the impact of exposure to women candidates on political engagement, attitudes about the responsiveness of the political system, and beliefs about the political capacities of women, as well as the role of partisanship in mediating such effects. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: three treatment conditions which exposed respondents to a story about a surge in women candidates (non-partisan, Democratic candidates, or Republican candidates) or a control condition (no story). A total of 1,000 respondents participated. Respondents were asked about measures of political engagement, attitudes about political responsiveness, and egalitarian gender attitudes. Control group respondents also answered whether most female candidates in 2020 were Democrat or Republican. This allowed for analysis of the effects of exposure to women candidates on political attitudes across gender and political affiliation.

description: We determined the parameters of a classical spin Hamiltonian describing an Fe monolayer on Pd(111) surface with a Pt_{1-x}Ir_{x} alloy overlayer from ab initio calculations. While the ground state of the system is ferromagnetic for x=0.00, it becomes a spin spiral state as Ir is intermixed into the overlayer. Although the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction is present in the system, we will demonstrate that the frustrated isotropic exchange interactions play a prominent role in creating the spin spiral state, and these frustrated couplings lead to an attractive interaction between skyrmions at short distances. Using spin dynamics simulations, we show that under these conditions the individual skyrmions form clusters, and that these clusters remain stable at finite temperature.

description: The motivation of the present work is to reconstruct a dark energy model through the {\it dimensionless dark energy function} $X(z)$, which is the dark energy density in units of its present value. In this paper, we have shown that a scalar field $ϕ$ having a phenomenologically chosen $X(z)$ can give rise to a transition from a decelerated to an accelerated phase of expansion for the universe. We have examined the possibility of constraining various cosmological parameters (such as the deceleration parameter and the effective equation of state parameter) by comparing our theoretical model with the latest Type Ia Supernova (SN Ia), Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) and Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation observations. Using the joint analysis of the SN Ia+BAO/CMB dataset, we have also reconstructed the scalar potential from the parametrized $X(z)$. The relevant potential is found, which comes to be a polynomial in $ϕ$. From our analysis, it has been found that the present model favors the standard $Λ$CDM model within $1σ$ confidence level.

description: Trade between the Republic of Ragusa and the Medieval Albanian lands was quite extensive and active and included most of the Albanian markets. Almost in every town with importance in trade, there was a community of Ragusan merchants. Their consuls represented those communities. Besides the consuls and merchants who were present in the cities and markets of Albania, the Ragusans had seized the customs of various products, which they rented and paid to the local rulers for the duties related to them. The Trade with Ragusa was of great importance because in Albania came wares from Western European areas and other countries. Reciprocally, Albanian products arrived not only in Ragusa. Albanian Merchants exported further their wares through Europe. In addition, trade relations with Ragusa affected the culture and mastery of the country, too, which benefited from techniques exchanged through trade. That was seen in the elaboration of gold and silver, tailoring, and other crafts. In conclusion, we can say that trade relations with Ragusa were of great importance to Albania. These relations were key in the economic exchanges the Albanians had with other foreign countries during the Middle Ages.

description: In dieser Arbeit wird die Erweiterung des Magnetometrieaufbaus auf der Grundlage supraleitender Quanteninterferenzgeräte untersucht. Die Untersuchung und Charakterisierung von Einzelmolekülmagneten bildet die Grundlage für den Einsatz dieser Systeme in der Quantensensorik und im Quantencomputing. Zur Erhöhung der Stabilität bei höheren Temperaturen und angelegten Magnetfeldern werden neue Bauelemente auf der Basis von Niobnitrid vorgestellt und charakterisiert. Eine abschließende Demonstration zeigt die Eignung für magnetometrische Messungen. Die Erweiterung zur Kombination von Hochfrequenzstrahlung und Magnetometrie bildet die Grundlage für die resonante und kohärente Manipulation des Eigenspins dieser Systeme. Hierfür werden ein neuer Probenhalter und ein koplanarer Wellenleiter auf dem Chip hergestellt, charakterisiert und eingesetzt. In einer abschließenden Anwendung wird dieser Aufbau in einem kombinierten Experiment zur elektonischen paramagnetischen Resonanz und Magnetometrie eingesetzt. Zur Untersuchung eines neu synthetisierten Einzelmolekülmagneten auf der Basis des Gd3+-Ions wird die resonante Anregung der Elektronenspinzustände genutzt, um die Energieniveaus in Abhängigkeit vom angelegten Magnetfeld abzubilden. Dies wird verwendet, um die Wirkung der organischen Liganden auf das Ion zu beschreiben, das in einem Satz von Ligandenfeldparametern zusammengefasst ist.

description: In the middle of the 19th century, the rivalry between English and Irish nations was, with all its violence, by no means ungenerous. The political contest was bringing out the worst qualities out on the surface. In the era of the gross corruption where only a few resisted offers and temptations, giving Ireland the stain of a weaker country, lived Maurice Darcy, known far and wide as the Knight of Gwynne. Darcy was a cultivated gentleman with highlighted "Irishry" in his nature. He was a well-known leader of public opinion which made him valuable political ally. In the newest political turmoil, scared that Darcy might go with the opposition, three powerful men, forming the new Government in Dublin, decided to gain the support of the Knight of Gwynne no matter what it costs, unaware of the price of an honest man. -- Barnes and Noble description Illustrated by Charles Dicken's usual illustrator Hablot Knight Browne (also known as "Phiz").
