DECTRIS White Paper: PILATUS3 CdTe Detector Technology and its Applications
Creators: name: Donath, Tilman
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Sections 1-4 of this white paper describe PILATUS3 CdTe detectors, which are the largest commercially available CdTe detectors for high-energy X-ray detection. Examples of these detectors' most typical applications are presented in the Appendix. 

In 2015, DECTRIS introduced the PILATUS3 CdTe detector family. With this new model, experiments using high-energy X-rays in the range of about 20 – 100 keV can benefit from the same Hybrid Photon Counting (HPC) detector technology that has transformed lower-energy X-ray research ever since the introduction of the PILATUS detectors in 2006. PILATUS3 CdTe detectors offer the same unique advantages: noise-free detection, a high dynamic range, sharp signals, and extremely high frame rates [1-3]. They are available both for the synchrotron (PILATUS3 X CdTe series) and for the laboratory (PILATUS3 R CdTe series). In this paper, we will focus on the detectors' applications at synchrotron beamlines.

PILATUS3 X CdTe detectors overcome the limitations of image plate, CCD, and flat-panel detectors, which are the typical „workhorse detectors“ at high-energy beamlines (see the comparison of available high-energy detectors in Chapter 4 of both [4] and [5]). They are also much more sensitive to high-energy X-rays, even those above 50 keV, and can record weak signals without beeing impeded by readout noise or dark current. Frame rates of up to 500 Hz enable measurements to be made much more quickly, and measurements can also be performed continuously and without a shutter. Thanks to these features, the HPC detectors dramatically enhance a beamline's capabilities, making time-resolved, scanning, in-situ or operando experiments possible (see Figure 1 for an example).

As of early 2020, more than 15 large-area PILATUS3 CdTe systems are in use at synchrotron beamlines worldwide, including at APS, DLS, ESRF, PETRA III, PLS-II, SOLEIL, and SPring-8. More detectors will be installed later in 2020, including at SSRF and MAX-IV

description: California Digital Libraries, PLOS, and DataONE are partners in Make Data Count (http://articlemetrics.github.io/MDC/), an NSF-funded project to design and develop metrics that track and measure data use, i.e. “data-level metrics” (DLMs). DLMs are a multi-dimensional suite of indicators, measuring the broad range of activity surrounding the reach and use of data as a research output. The report summarizes the first phase of the project in which we gathered information about the needs of researchers– how do they want to get credit for the data they produce? What do they want to know about how their data is used? What do they want to know about others’ data to evaluate quality? We connected with the community to determine requirements and understand use cases for the data-level metrics prototype.

description: The literature on the risks and benefits of multi-micronutrient supplementation to pregnant women is reviewed. The evidence suggests very small benefits compared to routine iron-folate supplementation. Two studies found increased neonatal mortality rates. Policy making, conflicted by the involvement of nutrient manufacturers and NGOs they support interprets these data to argue that such programs should be standard. This review argues that data are inadequate for drawing any such conclusion.

Not-so simple stellar populations in nearby, resolved intermediate-age massive clusters

Subjects: classificationCode: 510104
subject: Galactic astronomy

description: It is assumed that during stellar cluster formation, the stellar members form at the same time and inherit the chemistry of the progenitor cloud. Hence, this simplistic model of cluster formation assumes all cluster members to be a ‘simple stellar population’, which can be defined by a single-age isochrone. However, the simple stellar population model was challenged when it was observed that old globular clusters host chemically distinct populations of stars.The presence of chemically distinct subpopulations in globular clusters came to be known as ‘multiple populations’, often interpreted from colour-magnitude diagram features like split/spread main sequences, red giant branches, sub-giant branches and horizontal branches. Several aspects regarding the formation, triggering and evolution of multiple populations within a globular cluster remain a mystery. However, cluster age and mass have been identified to play a role in the presence of multiple populations within them. Clusters older than 2 Gyr and more massive than 104𝑀⊙ have been found to host multiple populations.We aimed to study intermediate-age massive clusters around the critical age limit of 2 Gyr to constrain the presence of multiple populations as a function of cluster age. Do they exhibit deviations from the simple stellar population model? If so, are there chemical abundance spreads within these clusters? Or is the deviation from the simple stellar population model due to a difference in rotation rates or some other factor? We focused on the red giant branch stars of our intermediate-age cluster sample. Our study found the presence of multiple populations in the intermediate-age massive clusters, NGC 2121 and in the LMC field surrounding the cluster NGC 1953. Is this due to an actual abundance spread? The answer to this question lies in a proposed spectroscopic study of our targets.

The Free Lunch Is Always an Effective Marketing Tool: Why WIC Must Change

Subjects: Health Care

description: In the USA, the Women's, Infants' and Childrens' (WIC) Supplemental Feeding Program offers ot about half the new mothers in the country what appears to be free infant formula if they do not breastfeed. Irrespective of WIC efforts to promote breastfeeding, this basic economic fact dooms many if not most low-income infants to partial or complete artificial feeding. A wiser approach would be to charge from the outset an amount that was slightly below the cheapest artificial infant feeding alternative available on the market. This would ensure that no low income infants received inferior artificial feeds but, given the greater food basket available to breastfeeding women, shift the economic imperative toward breastfeeding.
VITAMIN A: MOVING THE FOOD-BASED APPROACH FORWARD

Subjects: Health Care

description: The development agencies of the North American governments have promoted, virtually to the point of imposing vitamin A supplementation (semi-annual megadose capsule distribution) to all young children in over 100 countries. This has left little incentive to either government or donors to implement more effective, sustainable food-based solutions, indeed, in many ways has actively inhibited them. As part of this effort, food-based approaches have been labeled ineffective. This paper, written for the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in preparation for the Second International Conference on Nutrition in 2014, reviews all published reports from 1992-2013 of efficacy or effectiveness trials of food-based approaches to reduce vitamin A deficiency. (It excludes food fortification and biofortification, where were reviewed by other papers.) Nearly all studies found that food-based approaches did have an impact.
Letter to the Editor on infant feeding in HIV-infected mothers in Canada

description: This letter to the editor argues that there is no need to discourage breastfeeding even in HIV-infected mothers in Canada. For the 45% of Canadian HIV-positive mothers who come from cultures where breastfeeding is the cultural norm, formula-feeding is particularly unwelcome, unnatural and stigmatizing. Some of them may also return to environments where artificial feeding is more dangerous while their child is still young. The paper urges a re-examination of infant feeding advice in line with current evidence, as has been done in the UK and USA recently.

description: A gemstone is a piece of mineral crystal that, when cut and polished, is used to make jewelry or adornments. Identifying a gemstone is a complex task due to several aspects related to its nature. Deap Learning (DL) is a research field that enables the construction of systems capable of acquiring knowledge. Thus, this work proposes to use an DL model to classify gemstones. Additional strategies such as data augmentation (DA), image clipping, and transfer learning (TL) techniques have also been experimented with. For this last technique, the InceptionV3 model was compared with other models already present in the literature. They were compared based on accuracy and loss metrics, and in cases where F1, Precision, and Recall metrics were available, the evaluation was also performed. Experiments were conducted on a dataset composed of gemstones categorized into 87 classes. The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 72\%, corroborating the feasibility of automating this task.

Subjects: Health Care

description: This paper describes how exclusive breastfeeding has been measured and the indicators for it that have been created to track change over time. It shows that the most common indicator, created by WHO, and based on "current status" measurements, tends to be interpreted in ways that exaggerate how common exclusive breastfeeding is. Another, used by the CDC in the USA, and based on a "since birth" approach, tends to underestimate how much exclusive breastfeeding is done. The paper argues that national surveys should obtain data using both approaches, thus providing more realistic overall estimates.

description: Society remains absolute and calm when there is mutual understanding and peaceful co-existence looms large. The play The Woman of Calabar is a play that hints at a certain attitude which is portrayed by the female gender in Nigeria, in particular, and Africa in general. This mentality or ideology is capable of retarding progress and unity. Marriage is the greatest bond that can exist among people, tribes, and nations. For a nation to be firmly united, there isa need for the avoidance of unnecessary antagonism, casting aspersions against different tribes, and having a stereotyped feeling and phobia of other tribes and ethnic groups. No tribe is better than the other. Social ills are not limited to a particular tribe or ethnic group but are found everywhere among individuals in society, and not in the generality of people. Individual differences exist, and people should be concerned about the differences found among individuals instead of passing unfair generalizations. This is Amadi's heartbeat. Amadi attacks ethnic sentiments and antagonist,m craving peace and understanding, reason and love among people of different groups.

Subjects: Design

description: Emerging post-industrial societal needs require the evolution of existing networks of industrial infrastructures toward more distributed and citizen-centered configurations. This opens up new questions regarding what design processes and practices are necessary to effect change within these systems that are often deliberately not accessible and open for design interventions. We here present a set of design explorations in tracing and materializing infrastructures in order to make them available for design and participation, taking logistic services in a remote rural area of northern Sweden as a case study and field site. A design concept consisting of a drone and drone postbox were used to speculate about the possibility of a community-owned delivery network operated by drones in synergy with existing infrastructures. We used these artifacts in staging participatory processes of imagination and experimentation in order to explore possible future configurations. The project provides an example of a possible framework for initiating and curating the transformation of industrial systems towards more open and locally adaptive forms and functions. In particular, it illustrates the rich potential and opportunities for design when it comes to ways of knowing and designing with the infra-structural—that which is usually hidden beneath the surface.
RTD2015 27 Architectural drawing as premise for PhD project

Subjects: Design

description: As an architect I have been drawing a lot in my education. Now, in my ongoing PhD project about architectural drawing I use drawing as a way to drive and shape the project, not unlike how I have used drawing when I studied. I try to draw the PhD project forth as both drawing and theory and see drawing and theory as practices that inflict upon and develop each other, but try to avoid that one practice is subjugated to the other.
When describing this way of working as the project’s method, it resonates with how I think architectural drawing works; how it becomes producing in a design process. So, peculiarly, the method of the project and the way architectural drawing can be producing have similarities. Both a research process and a drawing process are epistemic environments (Rheinberger, 2010, Bovelet, 2010) ­in the way that they are used to produce something new, new knowledge or new architectural drawing. But despite this similarity there are important differences between them; differences that have to do with what we aim at. Drawing can take place in processes of becoming of a work, as an animated process, where the goal of the process is not necessarily defined in advance. A research process should have a goal defined in advance, but also be open enough for this goal to be redefined as you go. The outcome of the research process in my project, the theoretical part of it, is the construction of terms and arguments, which are different from the construction of a drawing.
In this paper I present my PhD project, where I approach architectural drawing, especially orthogonal drawing, as a collection of double conditions, such as analogue and digital notation, the hand and the computer, projections and notations, figures and scores, icons and codes, indeterminacy and determination. To see drawing as double condition is a way to show how opposing trajectories co-exist and can be producing for each other.

description: Research in community-based design highlights the importance of photo-sharing to support membership. As digital photographic collections both age and proliferate, the use of physical mementos and materials have been explored to support rich social interactions around photo-sharing within the home, museums, education and social care settings. However little attention has been paid to digital-material design for diverse cultural community heritage. We present the photo-parshiya; a digital photo-album, an artefact designed and used as part of a long-term research partnership with the Angelou Centre1, an international women’s centre in the UK. The purpose of the artefact was to initiate discussion on how technology might support creative exploration of heritage across cultures and generations. We describe how particular digital-material assemblages encouraged appreciation of archives to highlight the importance of material ‘herstories’, confidence and play with technology while drawing attention to the challenges of sustaining community, familial continuity and relevance with young people when moving to the UK.

description: col·lec·tion is a visual research project exploring the notion of the ‘collection’ in order to critically reflect on the construction of meaning and value in the current fashion system. It employs methods of dissection and collage as tools with which to actively engage with the fluid and dynamic relationships that constitute fashion and the shifting role of the fashion designer. Unpicking the garments along original seam-lines functions as a metaphor for the unravelling of the mechanisms that constitute pervasive fashion practices and production processes. The resulting loose material elements can then be rearranged into new formations or mappings and in turn, translated into proposals for alternative ways of engaging with fashion. The project draws inspiration from personal wardrobes, within which various styles, brands and materials are brought together in each personal collection. It attempts to activate the tacit knowledge embedded in the practice of curating our wardrobes and in the daily act of dressing. The interactive exhibit invites participants to engage intuitively on a material level in order to inspire and inform a wider discussion around the roles of designer and wearer in contemporary fashion culture in an effort to explore innovative and inclusive modes of ‘doing’ and ‘being’ fashion.

description: This paper outlines the inspiration, process and ideas behind a design project regarding human relationships with humanoid robots. Taking a research through design approach, an interactive animatronic head is created to further knowledge and ideas exchange concerning the potential future of robotic relationship design. The responding robot that reacts to negative stimuli manipulates and measures the viewer’s emotional arousal. The robot is programmed to respond in different stages of intensity based on the person’s action towards it, predicting that a stronger response from the robot will produce a more intense emotional reaction from the person interacting with it. The robot then becomes not only an art piece in itself but also a tool to capture scientific data, furthering research and discussions. This data can then be used to form a greater understanding of sympathy and guilt towards non-human objects, and help demonstrate what sort of role design might play in this interaction.

description: This paper takes its starting point in recognising that the Quantified Self Movement can go beyond its existing purely quantitative nature and develop a second degree of meaning, so that the individual achieves self knowledge through human insights. We designed a research methodology to explore an individuals current and past relationship with ‘Activity Levels’ and ‘Balance Health’ using two Quant-Qual dyads. For the first Dyad, quantitative data was gathered about the number of steps taken by participants, and compared to the Qual Tool of Energy Diaries. For the second Dyad, quantitative data about postural sway was gathered through an application and qualitative data about the perceptions of balance was gathered through a personal diary. Quantitative data provided grounds for sensitising the participants to the idea of ‘Balance Health’ and ‘Activity Levels’ and the Qual tools revealed the lack of an actionable vocabulary on the one hand for Balance Health and rich narratives for activity levels on the other. Therefore, there exists an opportunity for research through design, to understand an individuals perception of their activity and to compare this existing self knowledge (or the lack of) to factual quantitative data in-order to design Qualified Self technology devices.

description: This paper investigates a data assimilation approach for non-invasive quantification of intracranial pressure from partial displacement data, acquired through magnetic resonance elastography. Data assimilation is based on a parametrized-background data weak methodology, in which the state of the physical system tissue displacements and pressure fields is reconstructed from partially available data assuming an underlying poroelastic biomechanics model. For this purpose, a physics-informed manifold is built by sampling the space of parameters describing the tissue model close to their physiological ranges, to simulate the corresponding poroelastic problem, and compute a reduced basis. Displacements and pressure reconstruction is sought in a reduced space after solving a minimization problem that encompasses both the structure of the reduced-order model and the available measurements. The proposed pipeline is validated using synthetic data obtained after simulating the poroelastic mechanics on a physiological brain. The numerical experiments demonstrate that the framework can exhibit accurate joint reconstructions of both displacement and pressure fields. The methodology can be formulated for an arbitrary resolution of available displacement data from pertinent images. It can also inherently handle uncertainty on the physical parameters of the mechanical model by enlarging the physics-informed manifold accordingly. Moreover, the framework can be used to characterize, in silico, biomarkers for pathological conditions, by appropriately training the reduced-order model. A first application for the estimation of ventricular pressure as an indicator of abnormal intracranial pressure is shown in this contribution.

description: Blue heritage plaques pepper the UK landscape expounding officially validated narratives celebrating past events, people, and buildings. This paper presents a novel method that draws on this specific cultural context to generate reflective, nano-stories, documenting them through populating a place and physical space. The guerrilla blue plaque method was designed to enable engagement, collaborative story development and exchange, initially as part of a wider UK arts and digital media festival and developed further for RTD 2015. The authors’ primary aim for the case study presented in this paper was to enable visitors to reflect on possible futures, in this instance the theme of future cities. This was achieved through co-creating shared stories via commemorative guerrilla versions of blue plaques. This paper explores the rationale for re- appropriating the blue plaques as critical design artefacts to help understand the future hopes, needs, and goals for individuals and communities. We position the method in relation to action research, co-design and design fictions. Finally, by considering early findings and subsequent adaptions, we present new adoptions of the method, and reflect on the role of the guerrilla blue plaque as a feedback mechanism for participatory design and citizen engagement.

description: RootIO is a civic media platform and research project in the context of rural farming communities in Uganda. The RootIO project draws from prior work in Civic Media, the design of public goods and information services for communities rather than individuals. This project presents the additional challenge of designing a participatory community information platform in a relatively low literacy, low income area with little access to ICTs. Unlike many “development” projects, it focuses on local peer production rather than top-down “behavior change” messaging. RootIO is in active development and prototype FM stations will go on air in 2015: what follows is a prospective exploration and report of current and future work. RootIO is being developed with an open-ended and iterative method, where use and failure can be tracked and analyzed in real-time. We begin the paper by defining the context and background of the RootIO project, then present our research goals in building the system. We then discuss some of the methodological techniques that inform our design, including civic media and platform design. Finally, we will introduce the RootIO project. Our submission to the exhibition is a functioning FM “microstation” design of the sort deployed in rural Uganda.

description: This paper presents the process and initial results of a research through design project attempting to understand the poetic qualities of design objects. This exploration forms part of a PhD study addressing design artefacts as poetic objects- objects that both embed and conjure memory, association and imagination. The research examines the ways in which design objects can be poetic and how designers actively and knowingly use objects to poetic effect. It is proposed that the poetic content of design artefacts can be located on a continuum ranging from the experiential - relating to how we perceive things - to the reflective and cultural. What unites these levels is the capacity of design objects to reveal and change our way of looking at things. The practice uses the design of lighting as a vehicle for exploring the poetic meaning of designed objects more generally. Starting with the notion that lights do more than provide light, the current phase of practice examines the ways in which luminaires can mediate how we perceive and experience light and explores, in particular, the more nuanced and ephemeral qualities of light that escapes conscious attention.

description: The humble pie chart, the basic line graph: we are used to these and other forms of basic graphs. These have become commonplace and they can blend into the background, another plot on the screen real estate that accompanies our lives. To stand out, screen based data visualizations have become ever more beautiful, intricate and bespoke, but in so doing their legibility can suffer. In a project on community data, run in collaboration with residents of Tenison Road in Cambridge, we have been exploring how to present data to the community that will be accessible to as many local people as possible. We chose to use our highly visible window-frontage, visible from Tenison Road itself. As a technology company, our street facing window is full of screens, which could easily have been used for our purposes. Instead we have designed and built physical visualizations of a pie chart and a line graph. These are simple in the sense that they are easy to read and make playful use of some readily available material (like retractable tape measures). Their design is sensitive to the need for readability and spectacle.

description: Recently, there has been a clear shift in the Interaction Design community towards the design for engagement as opposed to more traditional ideals of efficiency and functionality. Our work explores how to design for aesthetic engagement in interaction; building on an approach founded on phenomenology, embodiment, pragmatist aesthetics and embodied cognition. In this paper, we present four different research through design projects we have undertaken, in which we leveraged this approach. These designs cover a wide range of contexts, scales and use. Together, they describe and open up a design space: each of the projects provides rich, aesthetic experiences that respect complexity and ambiguity. They entice people to engage with body and mind, where meaning arises in dialogue with the artifact. We present and critically reflect on these projects in the form of an annotated portfolio. Comparing and contrasting the project results reveals insights into our overall approach and research interest regarding how to design for engagement. We conclude with opportunities that these reflections offer for the design of engaging interactions. Furthermore, we expand on the implications that these reflections suggest towards further trajectories of practice-based research into such experiences.
