description: Efficiency and seamless user experience in research data management within and beyond the NFDI can be greatly improved through NFDI-wide basic services. Base4NFDI is a unique joint effort supported by all consortia to develop and deploy such services. Base4NFDI involves institutions from all relevant infrastructure domains and from all major research organisations in Germany. Its resulting NFDI-wide basic service portfolio will benefit all these communities and domains. The target group for basic services is the wider NFDI-community and, in particular, operators of specialised community resources.

Base4NFDI builds on two core pillars: 1) organisationally, a community driven co-design of basic services via the NFDI Association and, 2) technologically, a common framework establishing quality assured and coherent models for continuous identification, fostering, development, operation and evaluation of NFDI-wide basic services.

True to its mission of supporting NFDI, all strategic and financial decisions on basic services will be made by all consortia in the bodies of the NFDI Association. A basic service needs to be useful to potentially all existing and future consortia. In Base4NFDI a service is understood as a technical-organisational solution, which typically includes storage and computing services, software, processes and workflows, as well as the necessary personnel support for different service desks. To generate proposals for basic services, Base4NFDI will draw on the expertise in the NFDI Sections. They are the loci for exchange between consortia on cross-cutting topics, provide infrastructural and technological expertise in combination with domain knowledge and act as incubators for identifying potential basic service.

description: We show that memristive systems can be used very efficiently to generate passively both double and higher frequency harmonics. A technique for maximizing the power conversion efficiency into any given harmonic is developed and applied to a single memristive system and memristive bridge circuits. We find much higher rates of power conversion compared to the standard diode bridge, with the memristive bridge more efficient for second and higher harmonics generation compared to the single memristive system. The memristive bridge circuit optimized for second harmonic generation behaves as a two-quarter-wave rectifier.

description: Continual learning (CL) trains NN models incrementally from a continuous stream of tasks. To remember previously learned knowledge, prior studies store old samples over a memory hierarchy and replay them when new tasks arrive. Edge devices that adopt CL to preserve data privacy are typically energy-sensitive and thus require high model accuracy while not compromising energy efficiency, i.e., cost-effectiveness. Our work is the first to explore the design space of hierarchical memory replay-based CL to gain insights into achieving cost-effectiveness on edge devices. We present Miro, a novel system runtime that carefully integrates our insights into the CL framework by enabling it to dynamically configure the CL system based on resource states for the best cost-effectiveness. To reach this goal, Miro also performs online profiling on parameters with clear accuracy-energy trade-offs and adapts to optimal values with low overhead. Extensive evaluations show that Miro significantly outperforms baseline systems we build for comparison, consistently achieving higher cost-effectiveness.

In addition to introducing ourselves to the notion of \textit{Arithmetic Functions}, we shall primarily focus our research on obtaining suitable estimates for the \textit{Chebyshev Theta Function} $\vartheta(x)$. Furthermore, we'll try to infer about the asymptotic properties of another function $ρ(x)$, which shall be needed later on in establishing an equivalent statement of our main result. All the mathematical terminologies pertinent to the proof have been discussed in the earlier sections of the text.

description: NGC 6791 is a unique stellar system among Galactic open clusters being at the same time one of the oldest open clusters and the most metal rich. Combination of its properties is puzzling and poses question of its origin. One possible scenario is that the cluster formed close to the Galactic Center and later migrated outwards to its current location. In this work we study the cluster's orbit and investigate the possible migration processes which might have displaced NGC 6791 to its present-day position, under the assumption that it actually formed in the inner disk. To this aim we performed integrations of NGC 6791's orbit in a potential consistent with the main Milky Way parameters. In addition to analytical expressions for halo, bulge and disk, we also consider the effect of bar and spiral arm perturbations, which are expected to be very important for the disk dynamical evolution, especially inside the solar circle. Starting from state-of-the art initial conditions for NGC 6791, we calculate 1000 orbits back in time for about 1 Gyr turning on and off different non-axisymmetric components of the global potential. We then compare statistical estimates of the cluster's recent orbital parameters with the orbital parameters of 10^4 test-particles originating close to the Galactic Center (having initial galocentric radii in the range of 3-5 kpc) and undergoing radial migration during 8 Gyr of forward integration. We find that a model which incorporates a strong bar and spiral arm perturbations can indeed be responsible for the migration of NGC 6791 from the inner disk (galocentric radii of 3-5 kpc) to its present-day location. Such a model can provide orbital parameters which are close enough to the observed ones. However, the probability of this scenario as it results from our investigations is very low.

description: The eikonal equation has become an indispensable tool for modeling cardiac electrical activation accurately and efficiently. In principle, by matching clinically recorded and eikonal-based electrocardiograms (ECGs), it is possible to build patient-specific models of cardiac electrophysiology in a purely non-invasive manner. Nonetheless, the fitting procedure remains a challenging task. The present study introduces a novel method, Geodesic-BP, to solve the inverse eikonal problem. Geodesic-BP is well-suited for GPU-accelerated machine learning frameworks, allowing us to optimize the parameters of the eikonal equation to reproduce a given ECG. We show that Geodesic-BP can reconstruct a simulated cardiac activation with high accuracy in a synthetic test case, even in the presence of modeling inaccuracies. Furthermore, we apply our algorithm to a publicly available dataset of a biventricular rabbit model, with promising results. Given the future shift towards personalized medicine, Geodesic-BP has the potential to help in future functionalizations of cardiac models meeting clinical time constraints while maintaining the physiological accuracy of state-of-the-art cardiac models.

description: Nowadays agile software development is used in greater extend but for small organizations only, whereas MDA is suitable for large organizations but yet not standardized. In this paper the pros and cons of Model Driven Architecture (MDA) and Extreme programming have been discussed. As both of them have some limitations and cannot be used in both large scale and small scale organizations a new architecture has been proposed. In this model it is tried to opt the advantages and important values to overcome the limitations of both the software development procedures. In support to the proposed architecture the implementation of it on Online Polling System has been discussed and all the phases of software development have been explained.

description: Allopregnanolone (3α5α-P), pregnanolone, and their synthetic derivatives are potent positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of GABAA receptors (GABAARs) with in vivo anesthetic, anxiolytic, and anti-convulsant effects. Mutational analysis, photoaffinity labeling, and structural studies have provided evidence for intersubunit and intrasubunit steroid-binding sites in the GABAAR transmembrane domain, but revealed only little definition of their binding properties. Here, we identified steroid-binding sites in purified human α1β3 and α1β3γ2 GABAARs by photoaffinity labeling with [3H]21-[4-(3-(trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirine-3-yl)benzoxy]allopregnanolone ([3H]21-pTFDBzox-AP), a potent GABAAR PAM. Protein microsequencing established 3α5α-P inhibitable photolabeling of amino acids near the cytoplasmic end of the β subunit M4 (β3Pro-415, β3Leu-417, and β3Thr-418) and M3 (β3Arg-309) helices located at the base of a pocket in the β+-α- subunit interface that extends to the level of αGln-242, a steroid sensitivity determinant in the αM1 helix. Competition photolabeling established that this site binds with high affinity a structurally diverse group of 3α-OH steroids that act as anesthetics, anti-epileptics, and anti-depressants. The presence of a 3α-OH was crucial: 3-acetylated, 3-deoxy, and 3-oxo analogs of 3α5α-P, as well as 3β-OH analogs that are GABAAR antagonists, bound with at least 1000-fold lower affinity than 3α5α-P. Similarly, for GABAAR PAMs with the C-20 carbonyl of 3α5α-P or pregnanolone reduced to a hydroxyl, binding affinity is reduced by 1,000-fold, whereas binding is retained after deoxygenation at the C-20 position. These results provide a first insight into the structure-activity relationship at the GABAAR β+-α- subunit interface steroid-binding site and identify several steroid PAMs that act via other sites.

description: The phenomenological analysis of fully spin-polarized quantum Hall systems, based on holomorphic modular symmetries of the renormalization group (RG) flow, is generalized to more complicated situations where the spin or other "flavors" of charge carriers are relevant, and where the symmetry is different. We make the simplest possible ansatz for a family of RG potentials that can interpolate between these symmetries. It is parametrized by a single number $a$ and we show that this suffices to account for almost all scaling data obtained to date. The potential is always symmetric under the main congruence group at level two, and when $a$ takes certain values this symmetry is enhanced to one of the maximal subgroups of the modular group. We compute the covariant RG $β$-function, which is a holomorphic vector field derived from the potential, and compare the geometry of this gradient flow with available temperature driven scaling data. The value of $a$ is determined from experiment by finding the location of a quantum critical point, i.e., an unstable zero of the $β$-function given by a saddle point of the RG potential. The data are consistent with $a \in \mathbb{R}$, which together with the symmetry leads to a generalized semi-circle law.

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: Interaction of domain walls (DWs) in ferromagnetic stripes is studied with relevance to the formation of stable complexes of many domains. Two DW system is described with the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation including regimes of narrow and wide stripes which correspond the presence of transverse and vortex DWs. The DWs of both kinds are characterized with their chiralities (the direction of the magnetization rotation in the stripe plane) and polarities (the magnetization orientation in the center of a vortex and/or halfvortices), hence, their interactions are analyzed with dependence on these properties. In particular, pairs of the DWs of opposite or like both chiralities and polarities are investigated as well as pairs of opposite (like) chiralities and of like (opposite) polarities. Conditions of the creation of stationary magnetic bubbles built of two interacting DWs are formulated with relevance to the situations of presence and absence of the external magnetic field.

title: Estimating bluefin tuna habitat from space another tool for the future management and control of pelagic fisheries
Creators: name: Druon, Jean-Noël
Publisher: name: ASC 2010 - Theme session A
Year: 2024
Subjects: Ecosystem observation, processes and dynamics

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The bluefin tuna habitat in the Mediterranean Sea is mapped using daily sea surface chlorophyll and temperature from satellite remote sensors. Fish demonstrate two main behaviours—feeding and spawning—which are explored in the habitat model. The feeding habitat is associated with oceanic fronts of temperature and chlorophyll while the spawning habitat is characterized by a stable surface layer during spring (surface heating). The use of habitat mapping in fishery management could open up restricted grounds to fishing in order to preserve the resource (e.g. avoiding spawning areas). Increasing the fleet concentration would increase the efficiency with which it could be controlled by traditional means or radar imagery (vessel detection systems). While protecting the resource, the near real-time habitat maps would guide fishers to the best fishing ground in the open area, significantly reducing variable costs (fuel, man-days at sea). In addition, the model applied to a decade of satellite data provides valuable statistics for the scientific community on the preferred habitats of this highly migratory species. Although the first species to be studied is the emblematic bluefin tuna in the Mediterranean Sea, which is endangered by overfishing, the approach is transposable to most temperate and tropical pelagic species from forage fish to top predators.
Nonanalytic Corrections to the Landau Diamagnetic Susceptibility

description: We analyze potential non-analytic terms in the Landau diamagnetic susceptibility, $χ_{dia}$, at a finite temperature $T$ and/or in-plane magnetic field $H$ in a two-dimensional (2D) Fermi liquid. To do this, we express the diamagnetic susceptibility as $χ_{dia} = (e/c)^2 \lim_{Q\rightarrow0} Π^{JJ}_\perp (Q)/Q^2$, where $Π^{JJ}_\perp$ is the transverse component of the static current-current correlator, and evaluate $Π^{JJ}_\perp (Q)$ for a system of fermions with Hubbard interaction to second order in Hubbard $U$ by combining self energy, Maki-Thompson, and Aslamazov-Larkin diagrams. We find that at $T=H=0$, the expansion of $Π^{JJ}_\perp (Q)/Q^2$ in $U$ is regular, but at a finite $T$ and/or $H$, it contains $U^2 T$ and/or $U^2 |H|$ terms. Similar terms have been previously found for the paramagnetic Pauli susceptibility. We obtain the full expression for the non-analytic $δχ_{dia} (H,T)$ when both $T$ and $H$ are finite, and show that the $H/T$ dependence is similar to that for the Pauli susceptibility.

description: Of the many factors shaping the boundaries of state and society in the United States, few are more elusive than corporate philanthropy. In subtle and sometimes paradoxical ways, corporate philanthropy has influenced not only the making of public policy but also the framing of credible generalizations about the role of governmental institutions in the American past. Many business leaders resented the regulatory legislation that was a defining feature of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal and deplored the enthusiastic embrace of this legislation by prominent academics. In response, probusiness lobbyists launched a wide array of initiatives to roll back the New Deal.

A Natural SUSY Higgs Near 125 GeV

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The naturalness of a Higgs boson with a mass near 125 GeV is explored in a variety of weak-scale supersymmetric models. A Higgs mass of this size strongly points towards a non-minimal implementation of supersymmetry. The Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model now requires large A-terms to avoid multi-TeV stops. The fine-tuning is at least 1% for low messenger scales, and an order of magnitude worse for high messenger scales. Naturalness is significantly improved in theories with a singlet superfield S coupled to the Higgs superfields via λ S H_u H_d. If λ is perturbative up to unified scales, a fine-tuning of about 10% is possible with a low mediation scale. Larger values of λ, implying new strong interactions below unified scales, allow for a highly natural 125 GeV Higgs boson over a wide range of parameters. Even for λ as large as 2, where a heavier Higgs might be expected, a light Higgs boson naturally results from singlet-doublet scalar mixing. Although the Higgs is light, naturalness allows for stops as heavy as 1.5 TeV and a gluino as heavy as 3 TeV. Non-decoupling effects among the Higgs doublets can significantly suppress the coupling of the light Higgs to b quarks in theories with a large λ, enhancing the γγ and WW signal rates at the LHC by an order one factor relative to the Standard Model Higgs.

Staff training for community swimming instructors : supporting children with autism in local recreation settings
Creators: name: Jull, Stephanie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Previous research indicates that children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) participate in lower levels of physical activity in general and community-based recreation activities in particular than their typically-developing peers (Lang et al., 2010; King et al., 2003). Swimming is a particularly valuable activity because of its health, safety, and social benefits (Rogers, Hemmeter & Wolery, 2003). To date, no research has examined the effectiveness of a training approach designed to teach swimming instructors in community-based recreation settings to support children with ASD in swim lessons. Using a quasi-experimental time series design, his study examined the impact of training package that consisted of a workshop and in-pool coaching on the instructional skill acquisition of six swim instructors. Effects of the training on child cooperation and skill acquisition were also examined across eight children with ASD. Results indicated gains for the majority of instructors and children immediately following completion of the training. In addition, social validity ratings by parents, instructor, and aquatics coordinators were uniformly high. The results and limitation of the study was discussed with reference to the behavioral literature on instruction and generalization, with implications for future research. This study provides preliminary support for the effectiveness of a simple instructional package for teaching recreation staff to teach swimming to children with autism in community pools.

description: The quantum correlations between a qubit and its environment are described quantitatively in terms of interatomic distance. Specifically, considering a realistic system of two two-level atoms and taking into account the dipole-dipole interaction and collective damping, the quantum entanglement and quantum discord are investigated, during the dissipative process, as a function of the interatomic distance. For atoms that are initially maximally entangled, it turns out that there is a critical distance where each atom is maximally quantum correlated with its environment. Counterintuitively, the approach of the two atoms can maximize the entanglement between each one and the environment and, even at the same distance, minimize the loss of entanglement between the pair.

In Base4NFDI a service is understood as a technical-organisational solution, which typically includes storage and computing services, software, processes and workflows, as well as the necessary personnel support for different service desks. To generate proposals for basic services, Base4NFDI will draw on the expertise in the NFDI Sections. They are the loci for exchange between consortia on cross-cutting topics, provide infrastructural and technological expertise in combination with domain knowledge and act as incubators for identifying potential basic service.

description: The advent of multi drug resistance and extensive-drug resistance among various pathogens has caused a rise in nosocomial infections, which in turn has led to rising hospital-acquired infection-related mortality rates. Amongst them, carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most notorious bacterial species, categorized as a Priority 1: Critical pathogen by the WHO. Therefore, the discovery and development of novel antibiotics, as well as the identification of potential inhibitors, have become the need of the hour. In this study, we have employed computational methods to explore and identify molecules capable of inhibiting enzymes essential in the methylerythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) biosynthetic pathway. The high throughput virtual screening of small molecules (Enamine Advanced Collection (AC) library) against the highly conserved substrate-binding site of the DXS target protein provided us with a total of 1000 molecules. The top four potential candidate molecules, namely—Z3353989070, Z3353989049, Z2295848528, and Z1685501455, alongside fluoropyruvate (control), a known inhibitor of DXS, was chosen for a molecular dynamic simulation study. The molecular dynamic simulation trajectories suggested high structural and thermodynamical stability and strong binding affinity of all the DXS-ligand complexes. Moreover, the MM/PBSA-based binding free energy calculations also exhibited strong interactions of the selected ligand molecules with DXS. In conclusion, we have found that all four molecules displayed better results and stronger binding affinity than the control. In the end, based on all the above-mentioned criteria, we have proposed Z3353989049 to be the promising lead candidate against DXS from A. baumannii. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma
Astrophysical plasmas near strongly magnetized compact objects

description: The interaction of strong magnetic fields of compact objects with the surrounding plasma leads to novel and puzzling astrophysical phenomena. In this dissertation, we examine some of the properties of strongly magnetized plasmas as outlined in the following. A fully relativistic treatment of Bernstein waves in a uniform, magnetized, relativistic electron-positron pair plasma has remained too formidable a task owing to the very complex nature of the problem. We perform contour integration of the dielectric response function and numerically compute the dispersion curves. If coupled to electromagnetic modes, these waves may be important for generating radiation in pulsar magnetospheres. The soft gamma-ray repeaters, classified as magnetars, unleash large amounts of magnetically stored energy in a spectacular event called the giant flare. What causes these flares to develop is an open question. We examine two trigger mechanisms, one internal and the other external to the neutron star. In the internal mechanism, we propose that the strongly wound up poloidal magnetic field develops tangential discontinuities and dissipates its torsional energy in heating the crust. Alternatively, we argue that the shearing motion of the external magnetic field footpoints causes the materialization of a Sweet-Parker current layer in the magnetosphere. The thinning of this macroscopic layer powers the giant flare. The extreme environments of compact objects are conducive to the creation of exotic particles, that may not be discovered in laboratories. The light pseudoscalar particle, dubbed the axion, borne out of the Peccei-Quinn solution to the strong CP problem in QCD is one such particle which remains elusive. We present a novel way of constraining its properties by examining the level of linear polarization in the radiation emerging from magnetic white dwarfs. On sub-meV mass scales, our study provides the strongest constraints on axion properties obtained astrophysically. The cooling theory of neutron stars is corroborated by comparison with observations of thermally emitting isolated neutron stars. An important ingredient for such an analysis is the age of the object, which typically is highly uncertain. We conduct a population synthesis study of the nearby isolated thermal emitters and obtain their ages statistically.

Surpassing the Standard Quantum Limit in an Atom Interferometer with Four-mode Entanglement Produced from Four-Wave Mixing

description: We theoretically investigate a scheme for atom interferometry that surpasses the standard quantum limit. A four-wave mixing scheme similar to the recent experiment performed by Pertot et al. \cite{pertot} is used to generate sub-shot noise correlations between two modes. These two modes are then interfered with the remaining two modes in such a way as to surpass the standard quantum limit, whilst utilising all of the available atoms. Our scheme can be viewed as using two correlated interferometers. That is, the signal from each interferometer when looked at individually is classical, but there are correlations between the two interferometers that allow for the standard quantum limit to be surpassed.

Inelastic light scattering measurements of a pressure-induced quantum liquid in KCuF$_3$

description: Pressure-dependent, low temperature inelastic light (Raman) scattering measurements of KCuF$_3$ show that applied pressure above $P^{*} \sim$ 7 kbar suppresses a previously observed structural phase transition temperature to zero temperature in KCuF$_3$, resulting in the development of a $ω\sim$ 0 fluctuational (quasielastic) response near $T \sim$ 0 K. This pressure-induced fluctuational response --- which we associate with slow fluctuations of the CuF$_6$ octahedral orientation --- is temperature independent and exhibits a characteristic fluctuation rate that is much larger than the temperature, consistent with quantum fluctuations of the CuF$_6$ octahedra. A model of pseudospin-phonon coupling provides a qualitative description of both the temperature- and pressure-dependent evolution of the Raman spectra of KCuF$_3$.

description: Nearly half a century has passed since Leonard D. White published The Federalists, the first volume of his celebrated four-volume history of public administration in the United States. Almost from the moment of its publication, White's study was hailed as a classic. His third volume won the Bancroft prize, his fourth a Pulitzer. Solidly researched, lucidly written, and eminently judicious, it remains to this day the only comprehensive survey of federal public administration in the period between the inauguration of George Washington in 1789 and the elevation of Theodore Roosevelt to the presidency in 1901. This retrospective essay surveys the main themes of White's great work, explores his motives in writing it, and considers its relationship to contemporary scholarship on the relationship of state and society in the American past.

description: When does a topological group $G$ have a Hausdorff compactification $bG$ with a remainder belonging to a given class of spaces? In this paper, we mainly improve some results of A.V. Arhangel'ski\vı and C. Liu's. Let $G$ be a non-locally compact topological group and $bG$ be a compactification of $G$. The following facts are established: (1) If $bG\setminus G$ has a locally a point-countable $p$-metabase and $π$-character of $bG\setminus G$ is countable, then $G$ and $bG$ are separable and metrizable; (2) If $bG\setminus G$ has locally a $δθ$-base, then $G$ and $bG$ are separable and metrizable; (3) If $bG\setminus G$ has locally a quasi-$G_δ$-diagonal, then $G$ and $bG$ are separable and metrizable. Finally, we give a partial answer for a question, which was posed by C. Liu in \cite{LC}.

description: In December 2006, the U.S. Congress directed the Postal Regulatory Commission to prepare a “comprehensive review of the history and development of universal service and the postal monopoly.” This review was to include a discussion of the evolution over time of the “scope and standards of universal service” for the nation as well as for its urban and rural areas. This review has been prepared in accordance with this directive. It is written from the standpoint of a historian rather than an economist or lawyer. That is, it tries to set the record straight, which is what I understand to be the primary obligation of the historian, rather than to test a hypothesis, as might an economist, or make a brief for a particular position, as might a lawyer. In this way, it complements other studies that are being prepared for the Postal Regulatory Commission.`
