description: The application case for implementing and using the FAIR Digital Object (FAIR DO) concept aims to simplify usage of label information for composing Machine Learning (ML) training data. Image data sets curated by different domain experts usually have non-identical label terms. This prevents images with similar labels from being easily assigned to the same category. Therefore, using the images collectively for application as training data in ML comes with the cost of laborious relabeling. To automate this process, machine-actionable decisions for label information must be enabled. For this purpose the FAIR DO concept is used. A FAIR DO is a representation of scientific data and requires at least a globally unique Persistent Identifier (PID), relevant metadata, and a type. We show the requirements for specifying and using FAIR DOs when applied to ML data. Based on an application case with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) image data, a Proof-of-Principle approach shows the potential of the concept for usage in ML related data management. This work has been supported by the research program ‘Engineering Digital Futures’ of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers and the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) Platform.

description: Wohngemeinschaften (WGs) des Studierendenwerks sind – gerade in beliebten Universitätsstädten – Orte, an denen Studierende mit unterschiedlichen sprachlichen Repertoires aufeinandertreffen. Eine solche mehrsprachige Konstellation macht eine Aushandlung im Hinblick darauf erforderlich, welche Sprache(n) zur Gestaltung des Zusammenlebens verwendet werden soll(en). Über diese Aushandlungsprozesse, die wir mit dem Konzept der Language Policy erfassen, ist allerdings bislang wenig bekannt. Im Fokus des vorliegenden Beitrags steht deshalb die Frage, wie die internationalen Studierenden die Language Policies in ihren WGs wahrnehmen und welche Perspektiven sie dabei auf ihre eigene Mehrsprachigkeit einnehmen. Die Datengrundlage bilden zwei Gruppeninterviews, die mithilfe der Positionierungsanalyse ausgewertet werden. In der Analyse zeigen wir, dass das Englische als Lingua franca eine zentrale Rolle einnimmt und wesentlich zur Konstitution der Gruppenidentität beiträgt.
description: Flat-sharing communities – especially in popular university cities – are spaces where students with various linguistic repertoires frequently encounter each other. Such a multilingual constellation requires a joint negotiation in regards to which language(s) will shape the social interactions among residents. To date, little is known about these negotiation processes, which we describe using the concept of language policy. This article focuses on how international students perceive the language policies in their flat-sharing community and which perspectives they take on their own multilingualism. The data is based on two group interviews and evaluated by means of the positioning theory. The analysis shows that English as a lingua franca occupies a central role and significantly contributes to the constitution of a group identity.

description: We construct a systematic high-frequency expansion for periodically driven quantum systems based on the Brillouin-Wigner (BW) perturbation theory, which generates an effective Hamiltonian on the projected zero-photon subspace in the Floquet theory, reproducing the quasienergies and eigenstates of the original Floquet Hamiltonian up to desired order in $1/ω$, with $ω$ being the frequency of the drive. The advantage of the BW method is that it is not only efficient in deriving higher-order terms, but even enables us to write down the whole infinite series expansion, as compared to the van Vleck degenerate perturbation theory. The expansion is also free from a spurious dependence on the driving phase, which has been an obstacle in the Floquet-Magnus expansion. We apply the BW expansion to various models of noninteracting electrons driven by circularly polarized light. As the amplitude of the light is increased, the system undergoes a series of Floquet topological-to-topological phase transitions, whose phase boundary in the high-frequency regime is well explained by the BW expansion. As the frequency is lowered, the high-frequency expansion breaks down at some point due to band touching with nonzero-photon sectors, where we find numerically even more intricate and richer Floquet topological phases spring out. We have then analyzed, with the Floquet dynamical mean-field theory, the effects of electron-electron interaction and energy dissipation. We have specifically revealed that phase transitions from Floquet-topological to Mott insulators emerge, where the phase boundaries can again be captured with the high-frequency expansion.

description: In this project, we shall test whether we can consumer-grade webcams to conduct visual world eye-tracking research could be moved to an online setting. We will do these online eye-tracking experiments by tracking the eye-movements of the participants using WebGazer.js, which is a javascript library that uses the participant’s webcam to detect the pupils of the participants and then estimates eye-movements on the computer screen using regression analysis (Papoutsaki et al., 2016). In this first experiment, which has the form of a fixation task, we will exploratory test the spatial and temporal accuracy of online acquired eye-tracking data (following Semmelmann & Weigelt, 2018). The task is fairly simple: Participants are instructed to fixate on a fixation cross that appears on the screen for 1500 ms. Spatial accuracy of the estimated eye gazes will be calculated as Euclidian distance to the stimulus, temporal accuracy will be measured as average time (in ms) that it takes for the participants to fixate on the stimulus. Moreover, we shall analyse to what extent the hardware used by the participants influences the accuracy of the data. Hardware features we are interested in is the webcam’s sample rate (defined are frames per second) and screen size/resolution. In a follow-up experiment (not reported here), we will replicate a visual world eye-tracking experiment using the webcam eye tracker that was previously conducted in an in-lab setting using a EyeLink eye tracking device (namely Dijkgraaf, Hartsuiker & Duyck, 2017). The full details of the set-up and planned analyses of the fixation task are described the pdf file enclosed in this project (Experiment1_FixationTask_PreRegristration.pdf) .

description: Conceptual pre-estimation of road tunnel costs is a vital yet challenging process during feasibility studies due to the prevailing underground uncertainties and risks. Most existing cost estimation approaches are deterministic, probabilistic methods are limited to a single cost examination. This paper introduces a probabilistic model for pre-estimating road tunnels life-cycle costs. It aims to capture their inherent uncertainty holistically, thus enabling more reliable decision-making at a project’s early stages. The proposed model is developed in three steps: multiple regression analysis, fitting distribution, and Monte-Carlo simulation. The first step unveils the correlations between independent and dependent variables, while the other two steps return the probabilistic descriptions of cost drivers and life-cycle costs. Civil engineering, electromechanical works costs, energy consumption, and operation & maintenance costs are determined as the model’s output variables. A real-world database of 32 dual-bore road tunnels with a total length of 55 km is used to develop probability distributions within reasonable confidence intervals and a sensitivity analysis was performed utilizing tornado charts. The results can assist public authorities and managers in estimating the probability of a specific life-cycle cost and making appropriate decisions in accordance with their risk tolerance.

description: In einer Analyse des bff von 107 Fällen schwerer sexueller Übergriffe konnten anhand von Einstellungsbescheiden und Freispruchsbegründungen Strafverfolgungshindernis-se der materiellen Rechtslage bei sexualisierter Gewalt herausgearbeitet werden. Die Ausformulierung und Auslegung des Sexualstrafrechts bezogen auf Erwachsene führt systematisch dazu, dass nicht alle Fälle, in denen sexuelle Handlungen gegen den Willen einer Person geschehen, strafrechtlich verfolgt werden können. In allen analysierten Fällen geschahen sexuelle Übergriffe gegen den eindeutigen, und dem Täter verbal zur Kenntnisse gebrachten, Willen des Opfers. Anklageerhe-bung durch die Staatsanwaltschaft oder Verurteilung durch das Gericht blieben in allen analysierten Fällen aus. Die gefundenen Strafverfolgungshindernisse lassen sich zu drei Haupterkenntnissen bündeln: 1) Täter dürfen sich wissentlich über den erklärten Willen hinwegsetzen. „Nein“ sagen reicht für eine Strafbarkeit nicht aus. 2) Die Widerstandsleistung der Betroffenen ist der zentrale Bezugspunkt für eine Strafbarkeit. Die sexuelle Selbstbestimmung muss aktiv verteidigt werden, sie ist nicht voraussetzungslos geschützt. 3) Die deutsche Rechtslage wird den realen Situationen, in denen die Übergriffe stattfinden, nicht gerecht. Diese Erkenntnisse sind in ihren strukturellen Bedingungen untereinander, aber auch mit den gesellschaftlichen Vorstellungen von sexualisierter Gewalt und von idealtypi-schem Opferverhalten verknüpft. Anhand der Analyse lässt sich belegen, dass das bestehende Sexualstrafrecht in Deutschland keinen ausreichenden Schutz vor sexualisierter Gewalt gegen erwachse-ne Personen bietet. Eine Veränderung der materiellen Rechtslage ist daher dringend geboten.

description: A light scalar $ϕ$ with mass $\lesssim 1$ GeV and muonic coupling $\mathcal{O}(10^{-3})$ would explain the 3.5 $σ$ discrepancy between the Standard Model (SM) muon $g-2$ prediction and experiment. Such a scalar can be associated with a light remnant of the Higgs mechanism in the "dark" sector. We suggest $ϕ\to l^+l^-$ bump hunting in $μ\to eν\barνϕ$, $μ^-p\toν_μnϕ$ (muon capture), and $K^\pm\to μ^\pmνϕ$ decays as direct probes of this scenario. In a general setup, a potentially observable muon electric dipole moment $\lesssim 10^{-23}\ e \cdot\textrm{cm}$ and lepton flavor violating decays $τ\toμ(e) ϕ$ or $μ\to e ϕ$ can also arise. Depending on parameters, a deviation in BR($H\toμ^+μ^-$) from SM expectations, due to Higgs coupling misalignment, can result. We illustrate how the requisite interactions can be mediated by weak scale vector-like leptons that typically lie within the reach of future LHC measurements.

Adjusting for Sampling Variability in Sparse Data: A Bayesian Maximum Entropy Approach to Disease Mapping
Creators: name: Hampton, Kristen
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2005

description: Disease maps summarizing the spatial and spatio-temporal variation in disease risk have a wide range of applications, from hypothesis generation to public health surveillance. The utility of disease mapping, however, depends upon how accurately the value being mapped estimates the spatial process of interest. Especially with rare diseases, calculating crude rates from routine health data indexed at a small geographical resolution poses specific statistical problems due to the sparse nature of the data, particularly observational noise due to sampling variability. Here we introduce a mathematically rigorous framework for quantifying the error in observed rates due to sampling variability and present a Bayesian Maximum Entropy (BME) approach to disease mapping in order to correct for this error. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the BME adjustment through in-depth analyses of both simulated data and real surveillance data of HIV disease in North Carolina. The aim is to produce more reliable maps of disease risk in small areas in order to improve identification of spatial and temporal trends at the local level.

Towards an understanding of GRB prompt emission mechanism: I. The origin of spectral lags

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Despite decades of investigations, the physical mechanism that powers the bright prompt $γ$-ray emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is still not identified. One important observational clue that remains not properly interpreted so far is the existence of time lags of broad light curve pulses in different energy bands, named "spectral lags". Here we show that the traditional view invoking the high-latitude emission "curvature effect" of a relativistic jet cannot account for spectral lags. Rather, the observed spectral lags demand the sweep of a spectral peak across the observing energy band in a specific manner. The duration of the broad pulses and inferred typical Lorentz factor of GRBs require that the emission region is in an optically thin emission region far from the GRB central engine. We construct a simple physical model invoking synchrotron radiation from a rapidly expanding outflow. We show that the observed spectral lags appear naturally in our model light-curves given that (1) the gamma-ray photon spectrum is curved (as observed), (2) the magnetic field strength in the emitting region decreases with radius as the region expands in space, and (3) the emission region itself undergoes rapid bulk acceleration as the prompt $γ$-rays are produced. These requirements are consistent with a Poynting-flux-dominated jet abruptly dissipating magnetic energy at a large distance from the engine.

Operational Evaluation of Pilot GAC Filter-Adsorbers
Creators: name: Moore, James Work
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1991

description: Granular activated carbon (GAC) filter-adsorbers are becoming widely used in the United States for control of taste and odor and synthetic organic compounds (SOCs). While filter-adsorbers are relatively inexpensive to install, especially as retrofits to existing filter beds, their limited empty bed contact times (EBCTs) and frequent backwashing may hamper control of organics. A pilot plant consisting of three filter-adsorbers was installed at the Franklin WTP in Charlotte, N.C. Although the focus of this investigation was on the microbial quality of the product water, other data were collected to assess the operational characteristics of of GAC as a filter and an adsorber of natural organic matter (NOM). The GAC filter-adsorbers reduced turbidity as least as well as the full-scale dual media filters at application rates of 2, 4, and 6 gpm/ft^2 and backwash frequencies of one and two days. Similarly, headloss accumulations in the filter-adsorbers were comparable to that in the full-scale dual media filters. The filter-adsorbers did not effectively remove TOC, as 50% breakthrough was observed in less than 1 month for the lowest application rate in current practice (2 gpm/ft^2) . This poor performance was attributed to mass transfer limitations due to limited EBCT. Steady state removal of TOC was statistically significant at application rates of 2 and 4 gpm/ft^2, but was observed to be no more than 0.5 mg/L. Some steady-state removal of THMFP was also noted; however, the significance of this removal is dependent upon the new maximum contaminant levels.

Circuit design implementing longitudinal coupling: a scalable scheme for superconducting qubits

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a circuit construction for a new fixed-frequency superconducting qubit and show how it can be scaled up to a grid with strictly local interactions. The circuit QED realization we propose implements $σ_z$-type coupling between a superconducting qubit and any number of $LC$ resonators. The resulting \textit{longitudinal coupling} is inherently different from the usual $σ_x$-type \textit{transverse coupling}, which is the one that has been most commonly used for superconducting qubits. In a grid of fixed-frequency qubits and resonators with a particular pattern of always-on interactions, coupling is strictly confined to nearest and next-nearest neighbor resonators; there is never any direct qubit-qubit coupling. We note that just four distinct resonator frequencies, and only a single unique qubit frequency, suffice for the scalability of this scheme. A controlled phase gate between two neighboring qubits can be realized with microwave drives on the qubits, without affecting the other qubits. This fact is a supreme advantage for the scalability of this scheme.

description: Recognising the criticality of highway bridges for the socio-economic development of a nation, multiple researchers have endeavoured towards quantifying the seismic fragility of these key infrastructure elements. Given the present boom in urbanisation, however, there may also be an appreciable likelihood of vehicle presence on the highway bridge deck during an earthquake event. This study focuses on the impact assessment of vehicle-bridge-interaction (VBI) on the seismic fragility of highway bridges by explicitly accounting for vehicular movement atop the bridge deck during seismic shaking. Addressing existing drawbacks in literature that typically adopts a simplified modelling strategy and static vehicle placement, this paper considers different types of moving vehicles (modelled as mass-spring-dashpot system analogies) for VBI assessment through a novel algorithm. The proposed framework also accounts for uncertainties involved in the moving vehicle analysis, pertaining to vehicle characteristics and driver’s perception of the earthquake. The framework is demonstrated on representative multi-span continuous steel girder bridges located in Central and Southeastern United States. A comparative assessment of hysteretic response of bridge components and seismic fragility curves indicate a considerable influence of vehicular movement on bridge damage, signifying the importance of considering moving VBI effects for thorough seismic assessment of highway bridge structures.

Polizeiliches Lagebild zur Kriminalität von Deutschen mit dem Migrationshintergrund "Aussiedler"
Creators: name: Müller, Robert
Publisher: name: Universität Tübingen
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Hamburg , Aussiedler , Kriminalität
subject: 360

description: Im Mittelpunkt der veröffentlichten Meinung über Deutsche mit dem Migrationshintergrund "Aussiedler" steht häufig die Aussage, sie würden eine höhere deviante Auffälligkeit aufweisen als Bevlkerungsgruppen ohne diesen Migrationshintergrund. Dies gilt vor allem für die Altersgruppen der Jugendlichen und Heranwachsenden, die auch bei den in Hamburg lebenden Aussiedlern im Vergleich zur Gesamtbevölkerung überrepräsentiert sind. Das vorliegende polizeiliche Lagebild ergab, dass Aussiedler in Hamburg im Vergleich zu allen Tatverdächtigen eine geringere Kriminalitätsbelastung aufweisen. Selbst die oft als problematisch beschriebenen Aussiedler aus der ehemaligen Sowjetunion sind bezogen auf die Kriminalitätsbelastung auf dem Niveau aller Deutschen. Diese Aussagen wurden ermöglicht, weil dem Landeskriminalamt Hamburg die notwendigen bevölkerungsstatistischen Daten zu in Hamburg lebenden Aussiedlern auf Ortsteil- und Landesebene vorlagen. Bezogen auf Hamburg gesamt wurde für die Gruppe der tatverdächtigen Aussiedler keine besondere polizeiliche Auffälligkeit festgestellt. Die Analyse der Verteilung der Tat- und Wohnorte der tatverdächtigen Aussiedler ergab regionale Schwerpunkte für die Bezirke Bergedorf und Harburg, was auf Grund des dort erhöhten Anteils von Aussiedlern an der Bevölkerung erwartbar war.
Incorporating Measures of Sustainability into Land-Use Decision Making: A Prototype Methodology

description: Sustainability and sustainable development are concepts that often surround land planning and development issues. Incorporating concrete sustainability principles into land use planning can be a challenge as sustainability tends to be an abstract concept in which several issues are intertwined. This thesis attempts to examine two measures, one ecological measure and one human health measure, and combine them so that they can be incorporated into land use decisions rooted in sustainability principles. Specifically, these measures are quality adjusted life years, which measure the health impact of air quality reductions, and net primary productivity, which measures the carbon absorbing potential of flora. A prototype methodology is then created which integrates these measures into a framework that can be followed during the decision-making process. As a test, this prototype methodology is applied to two counties in North Carolina to determine feasibility issues and limitations. Results indicate that this methodology can be useful in determining optimal locations for future land development in regards to net primary productivity and air quality. Feasibility can be an issue due to the potentially large percentage by which development must decrease in some cases in order to achieve a target QALY. This is due in part to the overestimation of decline in QALY's associated with development, which is a result of the precautionary assumptions built into the Hazard Index as this is used within the QALY equation.

description: We have developed a crowdsourcing web application for image quality control employed by the Dark Energy Survey. Dubbed the "DES exposure checker", it renders science-grade images directly to a web browser and allows users to mark problematic features from a set of predefined classes. Users can also generate custom labels and thus help identify previously unknown problem classes. User reports are fed back to hardware and software experts to help mitigate and eliminate recognized issues. We report on the implementation of the application and our experience with its over 100 users, the majority of which are professional or prospective astronomers but not data management experts. We discuss aspects of user training and engagement, and demonstrate how problem reports have been pivotal to rapidly correct artifacts which would likely have been too subtle or infrequent to be recognized otherwise. We conclude with a number of important lessons learned, suggest possible improvements, and recommend this collective exploratory approach for future astronomical surveys or other extensive data sets with a sufficiently large user base. We also release open-source code of the web application and host an online demo version at http://des-exp-checker.pmelchior.net

description: We discuss the signatures of a Kramers pair of Majorana modes formed in a Josephson junction on top of a quantum spin Hall system. We show that, while ignoring interactions on the quantum spin Hall edge allows arbitrary Andreev process in the system, moderate repulsive interactions stabilize Andreev transmission - the hole goes into the opposite lead from where the electron has arrived. We analyze the renormalization group equations and deduce the existence of a non-trivial critical point for sufficiently strong interactions.

HAWC (Health Assessment Workspace Collaborative): a modular web-based interface to facilitate development of human health assessments of chemicals
Creators: name: Shapiro, Andrew

Year: 2014

description: Regulatory agencies around the world conduct assessments to determine the potential for chemicals to pose a threat to human-health. These assessments typically consist of a critical review of available studies to identify adverse health effects of chemicals and to characterize exposure-response relationships. Recent reviews of these assessments have called for greater transparency of the process used and decisions made. In addition, advances in methodologies such as the systematic review of studies, and advances in science such as high-throughput screening data, may improve the conclusions of an assessment, but may further complicate development and presentation. In this project, we aimed at addressing these challenges by creating a modular content-management system designed to synthesize multiple data sources into overall human health assessments of chemicals. First, a list of modules and requirements were identified for the creation of a web-based workspace. Next, we created an online prototype using these requirements, HAWC (Health Assessment Workspace Collaborative, https://hawcproject.org/). This online application documents overall workflow of assessment creation, from literature search and systematic-review, to data extraction, dose-response analysis, evidence synthesis, uncertainty characterization, and finally the creation of customized reports. Finally, completed and ongoing assessments were entered into HAWC to better understand the potential and limitations of the design. Overall, this project creates a clear and concise summary of the results of the assessment, provides a workspace for teams to collaborate on ongoing assessments, and enhances transparency by providing online access to the data and scientific decisions used to drive the conclusions of these human health assessments of chemicals.
