description: We present a statistical analysis of the distribution of large scale topographic features on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. We observe that the cumulative cliff height distribution across the surface follows a power law with a slope equal to -1.69 +- 0.02. When this distribution is studied independently for each region, we find a good correlation between the slope of the power law and the orbital erosion rate of the surface. For instance, the northern hemisphere topography is dominated by structures on the 100~m scale while the southern hemisphere topography, illuminated at perihelion, is dominated by 10~m scale terrain features. Our study suggest that the current size of a cliff is controlled not only by material cohesion but by the dominant erosional process in each region. This observation can be generalized to other comets, where we argue that primitive nuclei are characterized by the presence of large cliffs with a cumulative height power index equal to or above -1.5, while older, eroded cometary surfaces have a power index equal to or below -2.3. In effect, our model shows that a measure of the topography provides a quantitative assessment of a comet's erosional history, i.e. its evolutionary age.

description: We describe an algebraic algorithm which allows to express every one-loop lattice integral with gluon or Wilson-fermion propagators in terms of a small number of basic constants which can be computed with arbitrary high precision. Although the presentation is restricted to four dimensions the technique can be generalized to every space dimension. We also give a method to express the lattice free propagator for Wilson fermions in coordinate space as a linear function of its values in eight points near the origin. This is an essential step in order to apply the recent methods of L\" uscher and Weisz to higher-loop integrals with fermions.

Molecular epidemiology of mycoplasma mastitis outbreak
Creators: name: Punyapornwithaya, Veerasak
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Mastitis -- Molecular diagnosis

description: Objectives of this research were: 1) determine the association between mycoplasma mastitis and colonization of mycoplasma organisms at body sites of asymptomatic carriers; 2) determine whether concentration of milk via centrifugation prior to conventional culture could increase the ability to detect Mycoplasma spp.; 3) determine factors associated with the clearance of mycoplasma mastitis from a dairy herd; and 4) determine the effect of segregation of mycoplasma mastitis cows into a hospital pen on incidence rate and transmission of the disease in a commercial dairy herd. Colonization of the mastitis outbreak mycoplasma strain at accessible mucosal surfaces of cows and replacements was concurrent with the start of the outbreak, in a dairy herd. However, isolation of Mycoplasma bovis of any strain type from these mucosal surfaces did not appear to precede mastitis. The ability to detect Mycoplasma spp. in milk samples was enhanced using centrifugation followed by resuspension in a reduced volume of fluid before agar plating. Detection of Mycoplasma spp. after centrifugation and resuspension was improved and appeared to be best when the concentration was at, or below, the minimum concentration for detection using standard direct culture techniques. Culling of mycoplasma mastitis cows did not have a significant effect on time to clearance of mycoplasma mastitis in outbreak herds. Fifty percent of herds cleared the disease within 1 month without culling the mycoplasma mastitis cows, while an equal number of herds did not preferentially cull cows and had similar times to clearance of this disease. The segregation of Mycoplasma bovis mastitis cows in a hospital pen was associated with a higher risk of Mycoplasma bovis mastitis incidence in an outbreak herd. Every episode of mycoplasma mastitis transmission in the hospital pen corresponded to the introduction of a Mycoplasma bovis mastitis cows from the milking pens and only one strain caused mycoplasma mastitis and other mycoplasma diseases. Evidence indicates that Mycoplasma bovis mastitis cows from milking pens were the source of transmission of the disease in the hospital pen suggesting that the hospital pen appeared to be a risk factor for transmission Mycoplasma bovis mastitis.

Testing ozone sensitivities using process analysis, chemical indicators, and very fine scale modeling with CMAQ in the Pacific Northwest
Creators: name: Xie, Ying
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Atmospheric ozone -- Northwest, Pacific -- Measurement

description: This research employed the MM5/SMOKE/CMAQ modeling system to investigate ozone formation and fate in the Pacific Northwest region through three separate studies. In the first study, chemical features of instantaneous ozone production and the behavior of local photochemical indicators were examined with process analysis in CMAQ. Maximum ozone production (P(O3)) rate was 30-40 ppb hr-1 downwind of the Portland urban center, with NOx concentrations of 5-20 ppb and total VOC reactivity above 8 s-1. Five indicators (fOH+HC, fHO2+NO, P(H2O2)/P(HNO3), O3/NOx, and LN/Q) were found to be useful tools for distinguishing VOC/NOx sensitive conditions, and the results indicated that the greatest P(O3) (>30 ppb hr-1) occurred at transitional or NOx-limited conditions for the Portland area. In the second study, the CMAQ model was evaluated for predicted O3-NOx-VOC chemistry by comparing to aircraft measurements collected during a field experiment in western Washington. Results showed that anthropogenic VOC and CO were the major contributors to odd oxygen photochemistry in the morning urban profile, while CO and oxygenated compounds accounted for two thirds of the measured reactivity in the afternoon aged plume. Peak O3 was associated with VOC-sensitive conditions, but close to the transitional regime. The standard modeling scenario over-predicted the peak O3 and O3/NOy slope; these results suggested that the VOC in the current emission inventory might be too high. Modeled CO/NOy and VOC/NOy ratios obtained with the current emission inventory were also significantly higher than those observed from morning urban flights, with CO concentrations over-predicted by 80% and the total VOC reactivity over-predicted by 30%. Reducing the VOC emissions by 30% improved model performance for these parameters. In the last study, the effects of using high resolution (1 km) meteorological and emissions inputs to photochemical simulations of O3 were investigated. Results showed that using high resolution meteorological input alone had a larger impact on the position and peak levels of the O3 plume, with substantial increases in O3 concentrations at places where complex terrain plays an important role. Using high resolution emissions tended to affect small-scale features in O3 concentration patterns mainly within the urban area.

description: An explicit quantum circuit is given to implement quantum teleportation. This circuit makes teleportation straightforward to anyone who believes that quantum computation is a reasonable proposition. It could also be genuinely used inside a quantum computer if teleportation is needed to move quantum information around. An unusual feature of this circuit is that there are points in the computation at which the quantum information can be completely disrupted by a measurement (or some types of interaction with the environment) without ill effects: the same final result is obtained whether or not these measurements takes place.

description: We explore the connection between fractional order partial differential equations in two or more spatial dimensions with boundary integral operators to develop techniques that enable one to efficiently tackle the integral fractional Laplacian. In particular, we develop techniques for the treatment of the dense stiffness matrix including the computation of the entries, the efficient assembly and storage of a sparse approximation and the efficient solution of the resulting equations. The main idea consists of generalising proven techniques for the treatment of boundary integral equations to general fractional orders. Importantly, the approximation does not make any strong assumptions on the shape of the underlying domain and does not rely on any special structure of the matrix that could be exploited by fast transforms. We demonstrate the flexibility and performance of this approach in a couple of two-dimensional numerical examples.

description: We study the transition to the continuum of an initially bound quantum particle in $\RR^d$, $d=1,2,3$, subjected, for $t\ge 0$, to a time periodic forcing of arbitrary magnitude. The analysis is carried out for compactly supported potentials, satisfying certain auxiliary conditions. It provides complete analytic information on the time Laplace transform of the wave function. From this, comprehensive time asymptotic properties (Borel summable transseries) follow. We obtain in particular a criterion for whether the wave function gets fully delocalized (complete ionization). This criterion shows that complete ionization is generic and provides a convenient test for particular cases. When satisfied it implies absence of discrete spectrum and resonances of the associated Floquet operator. As an illustration we show that the parametric harmonic perturbation of a potential chosen to be any nonzero multiple of the characteristic function of a measurable compact set has this property.

description: Farnesoid X receptor α (FXRα) is a bile acid-activated transcription factor, which plays important roles in the regulation of multiple metabolic processes. Development of FXR antagonist has revealed great potential for the treatment of metabolic disorders. The compound N-Benzyl-N-(3-(tertbutyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,6-dichloro-4-(dimethylamino). Benzamide (NDB) was recently determined as a selective antagonist of FXRα, while the detailed interaction mechanism is not well understood. In this study, the combined computational methods including molecular dynamics simulations, binding free energy calculation, and principal component analysis were utilized to investigate the effect of NDB on the dynamics behaviors and dimerization of FXRα The binding free energy calculation indicated that the protein dimerization increases NDB affinity and the binding of NDB also stabilizes the interaction between two subunits of FXRα. Further decomposition of the overall binding free energies into individual residues identifies several residues significant for NDB binding, including Leu291, Met294, Ala295, His298, Met332, Ser336, Ala452, and Leu455. It also suggests that the interactions of L289(A)–W458(B), W458(A)–L289(B), R459(A)–N461(B), and N461(A)–R459(B) are important for the dimer stabilization. This study provides a molecular basis for the understanding of binding mechanism between antagonist NDB and FXRα and valuable information for the novel FXR modulators design for the treatment of metabolic syndrome.
The pathogenesis of vasculitis in sheep-associated malignant catarrhal fever in American bison
Creators: name: Nelson, Danielle Darracq
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Malignant catarrhal fever -- Pathogenesis

description: Sheep-associated malignant catarrhal fever (SA-MCF) caused by ovine herpesvirus-2 (OvHV-2), a [gamma]-herpesvirus in the Macavirus genus, is a frequently fatal disease characterized by lymphoproliferation, vasculitis, and mucosal ulceration in immunocompetent American bison (Bison bison), cattle (Bos taurus), and other clinically susceptible species. Currently, the pathogenesis of disease in SA-MCF is poorly understood, and the immunophenotype of lymphocytes that infiltrate the vascular lesions of bison and cattle with SA-MCF has been only partially defined. Previous studies have demonstrated that CD8+ cells and CD4+ cells predominate within vascular infiltrates in cattle and bison, and the CD8+ cells detected in the vascular lesions of cattle and bison were assumed to be cytotoxic [alpha][beta] T lymphocytes. However, polychromatic immunophenotyping analyses in described in the first chapter showed that CD8+ /perforin+ [gamma][delta] T cells, CD4+ /perforin- [alpha][beta] T cells, and B cells infiltrate vascular lesions in the urinary bladder, kidney, and liver of six bison with experimentally-induced SA-MCF. CD8+ [alpha][beta] T cells and WC1+ [gamma][delta] T cell cells were only infrequently and inconsistently identified. This study confirmed our hypothesis that the predominant CD8+ lymphocytes infiltrating the vascular lesions of bison with SA-MCF are cytotoxic lymphocytes of the innate immune system, not CD8+ [alpha][beta] T cells. These results support the previous suggestions that MCF is fundamentally a disease of immune dysregulation. The cellular tropism of OvHV-2 in bison has not been fully defined, and the goal of the second study was to determine the cellular tropism with respect to vasculitis lesions. Transcripts of open reading frame 25 (ORF25) encoding the viral capsid protein have been detected in peripheral blood leukocytes and tissues of bison with SA-MCF. Since there is evidence of OvHV-2 DNA within lymphocytes but not within vascular structural cells, we hypothesized that perivascular lymphocytes express ORF25 protein within vascular lesions of bison. This hypothesis was refuted by the demonstration of ORF25 protein in activated fibroblasts but not lymphocytes within the vascular tunica adventitia in six bison with experimentally-induced SAMCF. These findings provide a new foundation for defining the pathogenesis of vasculitis in bison with SA-MCF.

From Supermassive Black Holes to Dwarf Elliptical Nuclei: a Mass Continuum
Creators: name: Wehner, Elizabeth
name: Harris, William
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Considerable evidence suggests that supermassive black holes reside at the centers of massive galactic bulges. At a lower galactic mass range, many dwarf galaxies contain extremely compact nuclei that structurally resemble massive globular clusters. We show that both these types of central massive objects (CMO's) define a single unbroken relation between CMO mass and the luminosity of their host galaxy spheroid. Equivalently, M_CMO is directly proportional to the host spheroid mass over 4 orders of magnitude. We note that this result has been simultaneously and independently identified by Cote et al. (2006), see also Ferrarese et al. (2006). We therefore suggest that the dE,N nuclei may be the low-mass analogs of supermassive black holes, and that these two types of CMO's may have both developed starting from similar initial formation processes. The overlap mass interval between the two types of CMO's is small, and suggests that for M_CMO > 10^7 M_sun, the formation of a black hole was strongly favored, perhaps because the initial gas infall to the center was too rapid and violent for star formation to occur efficiently.

The ATLAS Muon, Electron and Photon Trigger Performance

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Events containing muons, electrons or photons in the final state are an important signature for many analyses being carried out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), including both standard model measurements and searches for new physics. To be able to study such events, it is required to have an efficient and well-understood trigger system. The ATLAS trigger consists of a hardware based system (Level 1), as well as software based reconstruction (High Level Trigger). To cope with ever-increasing luminosity and more challenging pile-up conditions at the LHC, several improvements have been implemented to keep the trigger rate low, while still maintaining high efficiency. We will present an overview of how we trigger on muons, electrons and photons, recent improvements, the performance of these triggers in Run-2 data and the improvements planned for Run-3.
Exploring the impacts of negative emotional reactions to the visual design of web surveys

Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Internet surveys -- Design

description: Due to recent scholarly attention to visual design, much is known about the effects that specific design features have on web surveys, but little attention has been paid to the effects of overall screen design. Applying Norman's (2004) emotional design concepts to a web survey experiment, we proposed and tested hypotheses related to potential data quality impacts expected when screen designs elicit negative emotional reactions. Such reactions were likely to stem from designs that were displeasing at the visceral or behavioral levels, so this experiment compared data collected from a sample of 1800 undergraduates completing three versions of the same Student Experience Survey. Results produced by the viscerally- and behaviorally-displeasing experimental designs were each compared with those from a control form, representing good emotional design. Altered moods, perceptions, motivation, and cognitive functioning were expected to translate into reduced data quality along four avenues: respondent cooperation, substantive response patterns, respondent commitment, and subjective survey experience. Both experimental forms produced lower quality data the majority of indicators examined, with at least some evidence of an effect on each aspect of data quality. Still, some measures showed mixed results, and a number of predictions were unconfirmed. Therefore, a series of in-depth cognitive interviews of approximately 30 Washington State University undergraduates were conducted in order to elucidate those nuanced differences and provide a deeper understanding of how screen designs affect emotional reactions and how those reactions translate to response patterns. These interviews provided a three-dimensional picture of the effects, as well as the processes by which visual qualities of web surveys impact respondents' behavior. This methodological triangulation theoretically-validated and improved analysis of the field tests, while allowing us to ascertain unexpected effects and refine our theoretical expectations for further research. Based on both qualitative and quantitative findings, it is now clear that screen design alone can impact respondents' emotional reactions, altering behavior and cognition, and potentially reducing data quality in a number of ways. However, it is also now clear that other visual processing effects, as well as non-visual characteristics of the survey and the sample frame may mitigate these effects.

subject: 18A15 03F50

description: In this note we remark on the problem of equality of objects in categories formalized in Martin-Löf's constructive type theory. A standard notion of category in this system is E-category, where no such equality is specified. The main observation here is that there is no general extension of E-categories to categories with equality on objects, unless the principle Uniqueness of Identity Proofs (UIP) holds. We also introduce the notion of an H-category, a variant of category with equality on objects, which makes it easy to compare to the notion of univalent category proposed for Univalent Type Theory by Ahrens, Kapulkin and Shulman.

description: We have considered the corrections to the finite-size-scaling functions for a general class of $O(N)$ $σ$-models with two-spin interactions in two dimensions for $N=\infty$. We have computed the leading corrections finding that they generically behave as $(f(z) \log L + g(z))/L^2$ where $z = m(L) L$ and $m(L)$ is a mass scale; $f(z)$ vanishes for Symanzik improved actions for which the inverse propagator behaves as $q^2 + O(q^6)$ for small $q$, but not for on-shell improved ones. We also discuss a model with four-spin interactions which shows a much more complicated behaviour.

Running synchronous detector reconstruction in ALICE using declarative workflows

name: Shahoyan, Ruben
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will deploy a combined online-offline facility for detector readout and reconstruction, as well as data compression. This system is designed to allow the inspection of all collisions at rates of 50 kHz in the case of Pb-Pb and 400 kHz for pp collisions in order to give access to rare physics signals. The input data rate of up to of 3.4 TByte/s requires that a large part of the detector reconstruction will be realized online in the synchronous stage of the system. The data processing is based on individual algorithms which will be executed in parallel processes on multiple compute nodes. Data and workload will be distributed among the nodes and processes using message queue communication provided by the FairMQ package of the ALFA software framework. As the ALICE specific layer, a message-passing aware data model and annotation allows to efficiently describe data and routing. Finally, the Data Processing Layer introduces the description of the reconstruction in a data-flow oriented approach, and makes the complicated nature of a distributed system transparent to users and developers. So-called workflows are defined in a declarative language as sequences of processes with inputs, the algorithm, and outputs as the three descriptive properties. With this layered structure of the ALICE software, development of specific stages of the reconstruction can be done in a flexible way in the domain of the specified processes without the need of boiler-plate adjustments and taking into account details of the distributed and parallel system. The Data Processing Layer framework takes care of generating the workflow with the required connections and synchronization, and interfaces to the backend deploying the workflow on computing resources. For the development it is completely transparent whether to run a workflow on a laptop or a computer cluster. The modular software framework is the basis for splitting the data processing into manageable pieces and helps to distribute development effort. This contribution describes the implementation of reconstruction workflows in the ALICE software framework and the optimization of data objects, and presents results from the realized prototypes.
Verbal ability and social stress in children with autism and typical development
Creators: name: Lanni, Kimberly Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Autistic children

description: Autism is characterized by severe and persistent impairment in social interaction, communication, and restricted repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior. In addition, children with autism demonstrate a significantly higher prevalence of anxiety, particularly social anxiety, than children with other developmental disabilities or chronic health conditions. Physiological indices of stress portray irregularities in the diurnal rhythm of the neuroendocrine system and variability in the LHPA axis response to acute stress in children with autism. The Trier Social Stress Test-Child version (TSST-C) is a standardized, social-evaluative stress protocol designed to evoke a significant physiological stress response in healthy participants and is a widely used technique for evaluating the LHPA axis in clinical populations. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the neuroendocrine (cortisol) and psychological (anxiety) response to performance of the TSST-C in children with autism, relative to typical development, and to determine the association between physiological stress and anxiety. Because the TSST-C involves the completion of tasks that employ verbal communication and executive functioning skills, two abilities that are often implicated in autism, the Delis Kaplan Executive Function System (DKEFFS) Verbal Fluency Test and NEPSY Narrative Memory test were considered as predictor variables. Two groups, each comprised of fifteen children between the ages of 8 and 12, underwent neuropsychological testing, extended home cortisol sampling, and completed the TSST-C experiment. Results indicated that verbal ability did not predict the stress or anxiety (STAIC: State Form) responses for either diagnostic group. Children with autism and typical development demonstrated similar baseline levels of cortisol, but varied in their responses to the stressor; Typically developing children demonstrated a significantly increased level of cortisol following the task, however, this was not observed in children with autism. Self-reported levels of acute anxiety did not correlate with the physiological stress response exhibited by either group. The overall findings are interpreted within the context of the larger literature on social and cognitive functioning in autism with a particular emphasis on impaired social cognition. Clinical implications pertaining to the relationship between stress and anxiety as well as the importance of structured treatment to optimize performance are discussed.

Study of the properties of molybdenum compounds for the catalytic oxidation of logistic fuels
Creators: name: Marin-Flores, Oscar Gerardo
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Oxydation

description: This work is focused on the study of the properties of molybdenum compounds as catalytic materials for the reforming of logistic fuels such as gasoline and jet fuel. The starting point for this investigation was the previous work performed in our lab by other fellow researchers about the study of molybdenum carbide, Mo2C, as catalytic material for the reforming of methane. Thus, encouraged by the promising results with methane, Mo2C was evaluated as potential catalyst for the steam reforming of liquid hydrocarbons. Our data indicates that Mo2C displays high activity for the reforming of isooctane--a surrogate gasoline--even at temperatures as low as 700 C. However, as the temperature becomes lower than 700 C, the catalytic activity of Mo2C experiences a decline to eventually disappear. The particular electron configuration of the Mo atoms appears to be responsible for the stability issues, given that it allows phase transitions that can significantly affect the catalytic activity. Thus, Mo2C is thought to loss activity due to an oxidation process that leads to the formation of Mo dioxide. The presence of the species Mo4+ (assigned to the Mo dioxide phase) on the surface of active spent samples of Mo carbide led us to hypothesize that this oxide phase may play a role in the catalytic activity of Mo2C. To test this hypothesis, MoO2 was tested as reforming catalyst and our experimental results showed that MoO 2 can be used as steam reforming catalyst with a higher activity than that of Mo2C itself. Nevertheless, the structure and properties of this transition metal oxide led us to believe that Mo dioxide may work in a more efficient manner under partial oxidation conditions. Our findings were in agreement with this hypothesis and demonstrated that Mo exhibits high catalytic activity for the reforming of both gasoline and jet fuel. In addition to the catalytic activity, Mo dioxide also displays a significant coking resistance as compared with Ni catalysts. Finally, MoO2 was tested for sulfur poisoning and found to tolerate concentrations as high as 1000 ppm of either thiophene or benzothiophene without affecting in high extent the catalytic performance.

description: We study tensor modes in pure natural inflation (arXiv:1706.08522), a recently-proposed inflationary model in which an axionic inflaton couples to pure Yang-Mills gauge fields. We find that the tensor-to-scalar ratio r is naturally bounded from below. This bound originates from the finiteness of the number of metastable branches of vacua in pure Yang-Mills theories. Details of the model can be probed by future cosmic microwave background experiments and improved lattice gauge theory calculations of the theta-angle dependence of the vacuum energy.

Decay versus survival of a localized state subjected to harmonic forcing: exact results

description: We investigate the survival probability of a localized 1-d quantum particle subjected to a time dependent potential of the form $rU(x)\sin{ωt}$ with $U(x)=2δ(x-a)$ or $U(x)= 2δ(x-a)-2δ(x+a)$. The particle is initially in a bound state produced by the binding potential $-2δ(x)$. We prove that this probability goes to zero as $t\to\infty$ for almost all values of $r$, $ω$, and $a$. The decay is initially exponential followed by a $t^{-3}$ law if $ω$ is not close to resonances and $r$ is small; otherwise the exponential disappears and Fermi's golden rule fails. For exceptional sets of parameters $r,ω$ and $a$ the survival probability never decays to zero, corresponding to the Floquet operator having a bound state. We show similar behavior even in the absence of a binding potential: permitting a free particle to be trapped by harmonically oscillating delta function potential.

description: Conventional wisdom suggests that the long time behavior of isolated interacting periodically driven (Floquet) systems is a featureless maximal entropy state characterized by an infinite temperature. Efforts to thwart this uninteresting fixed point include adding sufficient disorder to realize a Floquet many-body localized phase or working in a narrow region of drive frequencies to achieve glassy non-thermal behavior at long time. Here we show that in clean systems the Floquet eigenstates can exhibit non-thermal behavior due to finite system size. We consider a one-dimensional system of spinless fermions with nearest-neighbor interactions where the interaction term is driven. Interestingly, even with no static component of the interaction, the quasienergy spectrum contains gaps and a significant fraction of the Floquet eigenstates, at all quasienergies, have non-thermal average doublon densities. We show that this non-thermal behavior arises due to emergent integrability at large interaction strength and discuss how the integrability breaks down with power-law dependence on system size.

description: Sonoluminescence may be studied in detail by intensity correlations among the emitted photons. As an example, we discuss an experiment to measure the size of the light-emitting region by the Hanbury Brown-Twiss effect. We show that single bubble sonoluminescence is almost ideally suited for study by this method and that plausible values for the physical parameters are within easy experimental reach. A sequence of two and higher order photon correlation experiments is outlined.

description: Support for token-based authentication and authorization has emerged in recent years as a key requirement for storage elements powering WLCG data centers. Authorization tokens represent a flexible and viable alternative to other credential delegation schemes (e.g. proxy certificates) and authorization mechanisms (VOMS) historically used in WLCG, as documented in more detail in other submitted contributions to this conference. In this contribution, we describe the work done to enable token-based authentication and authorization in the StoRM WebDAV service, describing and highlighting the differences between support for external OpenID connect providers, group-based and capability-based authorization schemes, and locally-issued authorization tokens. We also discuss how StoRM WebDAV token-based authorization is being exploited in several contexts, from WLCG DOMA activities to other scientific experiments hosted at the INFN Tier-1 data center.

Network Capabilities for the HL-LHC Era

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments have greatly benefited from a strong relationship with Research and Education (REN) network providers and thanks to the projects such as LHCOPN/LHCONE and REN contributions, have enjoyed significant capacities and high performance networks for some time. Network providers have been able to continually expand their capacities to over-provision the networks relative to the experiments needs and were thus able to cope with the recent rapid growth of the traffic between sites, both in terms of achievable peak transfer rates as well as in total amount of data transferred. There are reasons to believe that the network situation will change due to both technological and non-technological reasons starting already in the next few years. Other data-intensive sciences will join with data scales similar to LHC, which will impact not only R&E providers, but also the way end-users are currently utilising the network. In the new multi-science high throughput environment, network provisioning, design and operations will need to evolve to better share and organise the available resources. Apart from the network capacity, other network capabilities will become important as they will offer a way to better organise and more effectively use the available network resources. As the scale and complexity of the current networks grow rapidly, new technologies and platforms are being introduced that greatly extend the capabilities of today's networks. With many of these technologies becoming available, it's important to understand how we can design, test and develop systems that could enter existing production workflows while at the same time changing something as fundamental as the network that all sites and experiments rely upon. In this talk we'll provide a high level summary of the white paper produced by the HEPiX NFV Working Group, providing an overview of the current software defined networking landscape, including areas such as cloud native networking, existing and planned projects in the area of programmable networks, smartNICs and related technologies as well as an overview of the mid-term plans of the core R&E network providers.
