description: I will talk about what’s been accomplished by the linkage between copyright and trade agreements and what we might look forward to in the future. Most of the major trading countries in the world are members of the WTO, subject to the TRIPS Agreement and that’s really the background, the basis for everything that’s come up since then in the FTAs. A common theme is that these multilateral agreements are really the basis for our bilaterals. It’s the launch pad, let’s say, for our bilateral and plurilateral agreements with regard to copyright.

description: We present an analysis of $13$ observables in Compton scattering on the proton. Cross sections, asymmetries with polarised beam and/or targets, and polarisation-transfer observables are investigated for energies up to the $Δ(1232)$ resonance to determine their sensitivity to the proton's dipole scalar and spin polarisabilities. The Chiral Effective Field Theory Compton amplitude we use is complete at N$^4$LO, $\mathcal{O(}e^2δ^4)$, for photon energies $ω\sim m_π$, and so has an accuracy of a few per cent there. At photon energies in the resonance region it is complete at NLO, $\mathcal{O}(e^2δ^0)$, and so its accuracy there is about $20$\%. We find that for energies from pion-production threshold to about $250\;\mathrm{MeV}$, multiple asymmetries have significant sensitivity to presently ill-determined combinations of proton spin polarisabilities. We also argue that the broad outcomes of this analysis will be replicated in complementary theoretical approaches, e.g., dispersion relations. Finally, we show that below the pion-production threshold, $6$ observables suffice to reconstruct the Compton amplitude, and above it $11$ are required. Although not necessary for polarisability extractions, this opens the possibility to perform "complete" Compton-scattering experiments. An interactive Mathematica notebook, including results for the neutron, is available from judith.mcgovern@manchester.ac.uk .

description: Pairs of spin-1/2 particles are prepared in a Werner state (namely, a mixture of singlet and random components). If the random component is large enough, the statistical results of spin measurements that may be performed on each pair separately can be reproduced by an algorithm involving local ``hidden'' variables. However, if several such pairs are tested simultaneously, a violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality may occur, and no local hidden variable model is compatible with the results.

description: We have carried out a systematic study of the crystal electric field excitations in the family of cubic pyrochlores Er$_2B_2$O$_7$, with $B=$~Ti, Ge, Pt, and Sn, using neutron spectroscopy. All members of this family are magnetic insulators based on 4$f^{11}$ Er$^{3+}$ and non-magnetic $B^{4+}$. At sufficiently low temperatures, long-range antiferromagnetic order is observed in each of these Er$_2B_2$O$_7$ pyrochlores. Our inelastic neutron scattering measurements probe the transitions from the ground state doublet to excited crystal electric field states belonging to the $J=15/2$ Hund's rules manifold. This allows us to quantitatively determine the energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of these $(2J+1)=16$ states across the Er$_2B_2$O$_7$ series. The different ionic sizes associated with different non-magnetic $B^{4+}$ cations correspond to positive or negative chemical pressure, depending on the relative contraction or expansion of the crystal lattice, which gives rise to slightly different local environments at the Er$^{3+}$ site. Our results show that the $g$-tensor components, which characterize the anisotropy of the ground state doublet eigenfunctions, are XY-like for all four members of the Er$_2B_2$O$_7$ series. However, the XY anisotropy is much stronger for Er$_2$Pt$_2$O$_7$ and Er$_2$Sn$_2$O$_7$ ($\frac{g_{\perp}}{g_z} > 25$), than for Er$_2$Ge$_2$O$_7$ and Er$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ ($\frac{g_{\perp}}{g_z} < 4$). The variation in the nature of the XY-anisotropy in these systems correlates strongly with their ground states, as Er$_2$Ge$_2$O$_7$ and Er$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ order into $Γ_5$ magnetic structures, while Er$_2$Pt$_2$O$_7$ and Er$_2$Sn$_2$O$_7$ order in the $Γ_7$ Palmer-Chalker structure.

description: The VISPA (VISual Physics Analysis) project provides a streamlined work environment for physics analyses and hands-on teaching experiences with a focus on deep learning. VISPA has already been successfully used in HEP analyses and teaching and is now being further developed into an interactive deep learning platform. One specific example is to meet knowledge sharing needs in deep learning by combining paper, code and data at a central place. Additionally the possibility to run it directly from the web browser is a key feature of this development. Any SSH reachable resource can be accessed via the VISPA web interface. This enables a flexible and experiment agnostic computing experience. The user interface is based on JupyterLab and is extended with analysis specific tools, such as a parametric file browser and TensorBoard. Our VISPA instance is backed by extensive GPU resources and a rich software environment. We present the current status of the VISPA project and its upcoming new features.

description: International concern continues regarding the association between the long-term neurophysiologic changes from repetitive neurotrauma associated with contact and collision sports. This study describes corticomotor changes in retired contact/collision sport athletes and controls, between the ages of 30 and 70 years. Retired athletes (n = 152; 49.1 ± 8.5 years) and controls (n = 72; 47.8 ± 9.5 years) were assessed using single and paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for active motor threshold (aMT), motor evoked potential and cortical silent period duration (expressed as MEP:cSP ratio), and short- and long-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI and LICI). Motor threshold, MEP:cSP, SICI and LICI for both groups were correlated across age. Controls showed significant moderate correlations for MEP:cSP ratios at 130% (rho = 0.48, p < 0.001), 150% (rho = 0.49, p < 0.001) and 170% aMT (rho = 0.42; p < 0.001) and significant small negative correlation for SICI (rho = −0.27; p = 0.030), and moderate negative correlation for LICI (rho = −0.43; p < 0.001). Group-wise correlation analysis comparisons showed significant correlation differences between groups for 130% (p = 0.016) and 150% aMT (p = 0.009), specifically showing retired athletes were displaying increased corticomotor inhibition. While previous studies have focussed studies on older athletes (>50 years), this study is the first to characterize corticomotor differences between retired athletes and controls across the lifespan. These results, demonstrating pathophysiological differences in retired athletes across the lifespan, provide a foundation to utilise evoked potentials as a prodromal marker in supplementing neurological assessment for traumatic encephalopathy syndrome associated with contact/collision sport athletes that is currently lacking physiological biomarkers.
DD4hep: a community driven detector description tool for HEP

description: Detector description is an essential component in simulation, reconstruction and analysis of data resulting from particle collisions in high energy physics experiments and for the detector development studies for future experiments. Current detector description implementations of running experiments are mostly specific implementations. DD4hep is an open source toolkit created in 2012 to serve as a generic detector description solution. The main motivation behind DD4hep is to provide the community with an integrated solution for all these stages and address detector description in a broad sense, including the geometry and the materials used in the device, and additional parameters describing e.g. the detection techniques, constants required for alignment and calibration, description of the readout structures and conditions data. In this presentation, we will give an overview of the project and discuss recent developments in DD4hep as well as showcase adaptions of the framework by LHC and upcoming accelerator projects together with the roadmap of future developments. We will describe the DDG4 component of DD4hep, which is a powerful tool that converts arbitrary DD4hep detector geometries to Geant4 and gives access to all Geant4 action stages, including an overview of its comprehensive plugin suite that includes handling of different IO formats, Monte Carlo truth linking and a large set of segmentation and sensitive detector classes, allowing the simulation of a wide variety of detector technologies. We will further describe DDCond and DDAlign, which expose a mechanism to manage multiple versions of detector conditions data simultaneously and efficiently.

description: The interaction between two chemically identical charge-regulated surfaces is studied using the classical density functional theory. In contrast to common expectations and assumptions, under certain realistic conditions we find a spontaneous emergence of disparate charge densities on the two surfaces. The surface charge densities can differ not only in their magnitude, but quite unexpectedly, even in their sign, implying that the electrostatic interaction between the two chemically identical surfaces can be attractive instead of repulsive. Moreover, an initial symmetry with equal charge densities on both surfaces can also be broken spontaneously upon decreasing the separation between the two surfaces. The origin of this phenomenon is a competition between the adsorption of ions from the solution to the surface and the interaction between the adsorbed ions already on the surface.These findings are fundamental for the understanding of the forces between colloidal objects and, in particular, they are bound to strongly influence the present picture of protein interaction.

description: I will talk a bit about the politics of international intellectual property, and specifically about ISDS—Investor State Dispute Settlement.
International intellectual property law, especially over the last twenty years or so, has been an incredibly contested field. The last big treaty in this area—the AntiCounterfeiting Trade Agreement —was met on its release by the mobilization of roughly 300,000 people across Europe marching in the streets. People were marching to oppose the substance of the agreement. They believed that its measures combatting piracy were invading personal rights and the liberties of Internet users. And they opposed the treaty’s process. People marched against the treaty’s highly secretive process. They demanded that rules with such general applications should be subject to more democratic processes. There is struggle not just on the streets, but between industry groups. Steve mentioned the potential differences of perspectives between the tech community on one side—the Googles, Yahoos, Facebooks of the world—and the content producers on the other—the movie and music industries. Copyright is subject to intense political debate, and those debates are what I call “nested.”

description: We report a comparative study of rigid layer Raman-active modes in $N$-layer transition metal dichalcogenides. Trigonal prismatic (2Hc, such as MoSe$_2$, MoTe$_2$, WS$_2$, WSe$_2$) and distorted octahedral (1T', such as ReS$_2$ and ReSe$_2$) phases are considered. The Raman-active in-plane interlayer shear modes and out-of-plane interlayer breathing modes appear as well-defined features with wavenumbers in the range 0-40~cm$^{-1}$. These rigid layer modes are well-described by an elementary linear chain model from which the interlayer force constants are readily extracted. Remarkably, these force constants are all found to be of the same order of magnitude. Finally, we show that the prominent interlayer shear and breathing mode features allow high-precision hyperspectral Raman imaging of $N-$layer domains within a given transition metal dichalcogenide flake.

description: Experiments in Photon Science at DESY will, in future, undergo significant changes in terms of data volumes, data rates and most important, to fully enable online (synchronous to experiment) data analysis. Primary goal is to support new type of experimental setups requiring significant computing effort to perform controlling and data quality monitoring, allow effective data reductions and, finally, allowing discarding of raw data before storing at all. Different to pure HEP experiments, the software infrastructure has to be standardized and easily (esp. fast) usable by many experiments with different physics goals. We will discuss the plans and work done regarding the hardware infrastructure, the system level middleware (i.e. container, storage connection, networks) and the higher level middleware covering low latency data access and selection (including metadata queries) direct connection the DAQ at detector level to the data processing code (mostly developed by experimentators and running on multiple nodes in parallel. Finally we will show the most current status and first results from initial testing with 'artificial' and real experimental setups.

description: I am going to put my own gloss on the question: “How do the copyright treaties and trade agreements affect national IP laws in the U.S. and elsewhere?” And I guess the real question is: are norms even being set by the treaties and trade agreements? Let me just start with the basics for the students in the room who may be unfamiliar with international copyright law. First, there is no such thing as international copyright law. I always put “international” in quotes. International copyright is an interlocking set of national laws for which the treaties set norms— often floors (minimum levels of protection). That is what happens when you get lots of countries in one room trying to agree on what the levels of protection and enforcement—and whatever else—should be – minimum sets of norms.

 The most difficult part of putting the treaties into force is not the treaty language; it is the implementation of the treaties in the national laws. If you look at the history of the treaties—as Karyn has provided, and Steven Metalitz and Probir Mehta have talked about—there is a long lag time between the treaties being completed and being enacted into national laws.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: DIRACOS is a project aimed to provide a stable base layer of dependencies, on top of which the DIRAC middleware is running. The goal was to produce a coherent environment for grid interaction and streamline the operational overhead. Historically the DIRAC dependencies were grouped in two bundles; Externals containing Python and standard binary libraries, and the LCGBundle which contained all grid-related libraries (gfal, arc, etc). Such a setup proved difficult to test and hindered agile development. DIRACOS solves the binary incompatibility that was caused by using a python version newer than the native system one (SLC6). It is spawned form a single list of required packages from where we use SRPMs to pull all dependencies down to the level of glibc. With such an approach we can provide the same packages for our clients, servers, and several platforms. It is an extendible setup with an DevOps development cycle in mind. The core build functionality of DIRACOS is based on Fedora Mock. DIRACOS also introduces its own grammar, to handle specific cases and it also allows patching (some SRPM require tweeking, which the user can do by providing a diff) as well as routines for pre/post/instead actions of compilation. With this approach DIRAC was able to provide a single bundle for clients and servers, that is reliable, flexible, easy to test and relatively small (250 MB). It allows for a smooth transition from SLC6 to CC7 and provides a clear roadmap for possible extension of DIRAC to a wide variety of platforms.
Overcoming the acoustic diffraction limit in photoacoustic imaging by localization of flowing absorbers

description: The resolution of photoacoustic imaging deep inside scattering media is limited by the acoustic diffraction limit. In this work, taking inspiration from super-resolution imaging techniques developed to beat the optical diffraction limit, we demonstrate that the localization of individual optical absorbers can provide super-resolution photoacoustic imaging well beyond the acoustic diffraction limit. As a proof-of-principle experiment, photoacoustic cross-sectional images of microfluidic channels were obtained with a 15 MHz linear CMUT array while absorbing beads were flown through the channels. The localization of individual absorbers allowed to obtain super-resolved cross-sectional image of the channels, by reconstructing both the channel width and position with an accuracy better than $λ/10$. Given the discrete nature of endogenous absorbers such as red blood cells, or that of exogenous particular contrast agents, localization is a promising approach to push the current resolution limits of photoacoustic imaging.

description: We discuss a systematic effect associated with measuring polarization with a continuously rotating half-wave plate. The effect was identified with the data from the E and B Experiment (EBEX), which was a balloon-borne instrument designed to measure the polarization of the CMB as well as that from Galactic dust. The data show polarization fraction larger than 10\% while less than 3\% were expected from instrumental polarization. We give evidence that the excess polarization is due to detector non-linearity in the presence of a continuously rotating HWP. The non-linearity couples intensity signals into polarization. We develop a map-based method to remove the excess polarization. Applying this method for the 150 (250) GHz bands data we find that 81\% (92\%) of the excess polarization was removed. Characterization and mitigation of this effect is important for future experiments aiming to measure the CMB B-modes with a continuously rotating HWP.

description: Consider the task of verifying that a given quantum device, designed to produce a particular entangled state, does indeed produce that state. One natural approach would be to characterise the output state by quantum state tomography; or alternatively to perform some kind of Bell test, tailored to the state of interest. We show here that neither approach is optimal amongst local verification strategies for two qubit states. We find the optimal strategy in this case and show that quadratically fewer total measurements are needed to verify to within a given fidelity than in published results for quantum state tomography, Bell test, or fidelity estimation protocols. We also give efficient verification protocols for any stabilizer state. Additionally, we show that requiring that the strategy be constructed from local, non-adaptive and non-collective measurements only incurs a constant-factor penalty over a strategy without these restrictions.

description: We consider double-winding, triple-winding and multiple-winding Wilson loops in the $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills gauge theory. We examine how the area law falloff of the vacuum expectation value of a multiple-winding Wilson loop depends on the number of color $N$. In sharp contrast to the difference-of-areas law recently found for a double-winding $SU(2)$ Wilson loop average, we show irrespective of the spacetime dimensionality that a double-winding $SU(3)$ Wilson loop follows a novel area law which is neither difference-of-areas nor sum-of-areas law for the area law falloff and that the difference-of-areas law is excluded and the sum-of-areas law is allowed for $SU(N)$ ($N \ge 4$), provided that the string tension obeys the Casimir scaling for the higher representations. Moreover, we extend these results to arbitrary multi-winding Wilson loops. Finally, we argue that the area law follows a novel law, which is neither sum-of-areas nor difference-of-areas law when $N\ge 3$. In fact, such a behavior is exactly derived in the $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory in the two-dimensional spacetime.

description: Undergirding really all the discussion that we’ve been having today is a fundamental truth that hasn’t actually been articulated. I wanted to just give that voice as I begin my remarks, and that is: foreign piracy of copyrighted works is widespread, pervasive, and persistent. It’s been going on for decades. You can go back and read the Special 301 reports that Probir and his predecessors, including Stan, have overseen and published, going back to the 1980s. And there is massive theft. The mode and methodology has changed over the years, but there’s a real problem out there. For a period of time, we were able to address that through norm setting, the WIPO, but the problem there is there was no real enforcement mechanism. It has this International Court of Justice adjudication, but there were really no teeth to that. So it was really left to a matter of bilateral political pressure, and even the trade sanctions. And back in that age, that era, the United States did impose trade sanctions on occasion, bilaterally, unilaterally. With the adoption of the TRIPS agreement as part of the WTO, we have both a more modern and extensive set of standards, including enforcement standards, which generally didn’t exist in WIPO documents. And we have a dispute resolution process that allowed a neutral third party adjudication of disputes, which were beneficial. Unfortunately, as was pointed out earlier, the TRIPS standards are now about a quarter century old. And as we’re undergoing continual innovation and development in marketplace practices, as well as piracy practices, it’s a fundamental necessity of global standards to keep pace. The reality is that the member states at WTO, and WIPO these days, are not willing to do that. Indeed, even a discussion of existing enforcement standards in a non-norm setting granulite TRIPS council is met with howls of protest.5 So it should be no surprise that countries whose industries are highly valued—like the United States—have sought other means to introduce modern norms.6 And that’s what we see. Thus, you have more regional and bilateral agreements. We can debate whether that’s good, bad or indifferent. But that’s why it’s happened.

description: In this article, we derive an inequality of Łojasiewicz-Siciak type for certain sets arising in the context of the complex dynamics in dimension 1. More precisely, if we denote by $dist$ the euclidian distance in $\mathbb{C}$, we show that the Green function $G_K$ of the filled Julia set $K$ of a polynomial such that $\mathring{K}\neq \emptyset$ satisfies the so-called ŁS condition $\displaystyle G_A\geq c\cdot dist(\cdot, K)^{c'}$ in a neighborhood of $K$, for some constants $c,c'>0$. Relatively few examples of compact sets satisfying the ŁS condition are known. Our result highlights an interesting class of compact sets fulfilling this condition. The fact that filled Julia sets satisfy the ŁS condition may seem surprising, since they are in general very irregular. In order to prove our main result, we define and study the set of obstruction points to the ŁS condition. We also prove, in dimension $n\geq 1$, that for a polynomially convex and L-regular compact set of non empty interior, these obstruction points are rare, in a sense which will be specified.

description: I want to take a step back and go back almost 100 years to review the background, history, and context of how those particular treaties and trade agreements developed. Since adoption of the first federal U.S. domestic copyright law in 1790, the United States has had a very interesting and somewhat complicated history with treaty and trade development in the copyright space. Initially, the United States viewed international harmonization suspiciously. Thus, while the United States’ counterparts in Europe and elsewhere eagerly worked toward the development of international norms at the end of the nineteenth century, the United States arrived extremely late to the party. European countries signed the first multilateral copyright treaty, the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, back in 1886 with nearly a dozen of the world’s most prolific copyright producing countries on board, including Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Berne set critical minimum standards for the international protection of copyrighted works through requirements such as national treatment and greatly influenced the development of copyright laws in Berne Union countries. The United States attended the 1885 Berne Convention diplomatic conference, but took more than a century to fully implement it. In fact, at the time of the Berne Convention’s adoption in 1886, the United States representative to the convention cautioned that “[t]he United States “cannot afford to stand before the world as the only important and deeply concerned power persistently refusing to do common justice to foreign authors . . . .”

description: Canada's current Copyright Act still has as its basic framework its 1921 legislation, which was essentially a redrafting of the 1911 United Kingdom Act. Obviously, since that time many events have taken place, and, in particular, after the Second World War, a good number of countries started revising their copyright legislations. In the 1950s and 1960s, many studies have led ultimately to the overhaul of the existing texts. For instance, here in the United States, the 1976 Act has been part of this movement. In Canada, studies were also undertaken. There was first a royal commission on intellectual property as a whole, which was followed by more studies that focused on copyright only. However, technology was progressing at its own pace, and even though some issues had already been dealt with previously, like the protection of sound recordings (because England had it in 1911), the Copyright Act was becoming increasingly anachronistic. The real impetus came from the computer industry in the 1980s, which needed the legal certainty provided by an affirmative legal provision on the copyrightability of computer programs.

description: I’m not going to talk about the law, or the interpretation of the law, so much as the ideas behind the law. It’s very rare that I’m let loose in a law faculty so I’m going to talk rather abstractedly, partly as a bureaucratic defense but also because I think there are some very interesting abstract ideas that come up in this discussion about dispute settlement that are worth thinking about. The idea of a TRIPS Agreement—we’re still debating what are those “trade related aspects” of intellectual property rights. I like to say, essentially TRIPS reframed the international law of intellectual property by saying that indeed, IP is trade-related. In other words, when there are trade negotiations, when there are trade disputes, when there are trade relations generally, IP is on the table, is on the agenda.3

And that’s the transformation that we’re seeing washing through the system, not merely multilaterally, but in the RTAs and the bilateral agreements, too, that we’ve been talking about.

description: By searching the IRAS and ISO databases we compiled a list of 60 debris disks which exhibit the highest fractional luminosity values (fd>10^-4) in the vicinity of the Sun (d<120pc). Eleven out of these 60 systems are new discoveries. Special care was taken to exclude bogus disks from the sample. We computed the fractional luminosity values using available IRAS, ISO, and Spitzer data, and analysed the galactic space velocities of the objects. The results revealed that stars with disks of high fractional luminosity often belong to young stellar kinematic groups, providing an opportunity to obtain improved age estimates for these systems. We found that practically all disks with fd>5x10^-4 are younger than 100Myr. The distribution of the disks in the fractional luminosity versus age diagram indicates that (1) the number of old systems with high fd is lower than was claimed before; (2) there exist many relatively young disks of moderate fractional luminosity; and (3) comparing the observations with a current theoretical model of debris disk evolution a general good agreement could be found.

description: We present a stabilized finite element method for the numerical solution of cavitation in lubrication, modeled as an inequality-constrained Reynolds equation. The cavitation model is written as a variable coefficient saddle-point problem and approximated by a residual-based stabilized method. Based on our recent results on the classical obstacle problem, we present optimal a priori estimates and derive novel a posteriori error estimators. The method is implemented as a Nitsche-type finite element technique and shown in numerical computations to be superior to the usually applied penalty methods.

description: We introduce a classification scheme for the generators of bosonic open Gaussian dynamics, providing instructive diagrams description for each type of dynamics. Using this classification, we discuss the consequences of imposing complete positivity on Gaussian dynamics. In particular, we show that non-symplectic operations must be active to allow for complete positivity. In addition, non-symplectic operations can, in fact, conserve the volume of phase space only if the restriction of complete positivity is lifted. We then discuss the implications for the relationship between information and energy flows in open quantum mechanics.
Improved Hamiltonian for Minkowski Yang-Mills Theory

description: I develop an improved Hamiltonian for classical, Minkowski Yang-Mills theory, which evolves infrared fields with corrections from lattice spacing $a$ beginning at $O(a^4)$. I use it to investigate the response of Chern-Simons number to a chemical potential, and to compute the maximal Lyapunov exponent. Both quantities have small $a$ limits, in both cases within $10\% $ of the limit found using the unimproved (Kogut Susskind) Hamiltonian. For the maximal Lyapunov exponent the limits differ by about $5 \% $, significant at about $5 σ$, indicating that while a small $a$ limit exists, its value is corrupted by lattice artefacts. For the response of Chern-Simons number the statistics are not good enough to resolve $ 5 \% $ differences, but it seems possible in analogy with the Lyapunov exponent that the final answer depends on the lattice regulation.

description: 3D reconstruction from 2D images is a central problem in computer vision. Recent works have been focusing on reconstruction directly from a single image. It is well known however that only one image cannot provide enough information for such a reconstruction. A prior knowledge that has been entertained are 3D CAD models due to its online ubiquity. A fundamental question is how to compactly represent millions of CAD models while allowing generalization to new unseen objects with fine-scaled geometry. We introduce an approach to compactly represent a 3D mesh. Our method first selects a 3D model from a graph structure by using a novel free-form deformation FFD 3D-2D registration, and then the selected 3D model is refined to best fit the image silhouette. We perform a comprehensive quantitative and qualitative analysis that demonstrates impressive dense and realistic 3D reconstruction from single images.
