description: The learning rate is an information-theoretical quantity for bipartite Markov chains describing two coupled subsystems. It is defined as the rate at which transitions in the downstream subsystem tend to increase the mutual information between the two subsystems, and is bounded by the dissipation arising from these transitions. Its physical interpretation, however, is unclear, although it has been used as a metric for the sensing performance of the downstream subsystem. In this paper, we explore the behaviour of the learning rate for a number of simple model systems, establishing when and how its behaviour is distinct from the instantaneous mutual information between subsystems. In the simplest case, the two are almost equivalent. In more complex steady-state systems, the mutual information and the learning rate behave qualitatively distinctly, with the learning rate clearly now reflecting the rate at which the downstream system must update its information in response to changes in the upstream system. It is not clear whether this quantity is the most natural measure for sensor performance, and, indeed, we provide an example in which optimising the learning rate over a region of parameter space of the downstream system yields an apparently sub-optimal sensor.

description: Die Rezeption eines Bilderbuchs kann als ein vielfältiges Zusammenspiel zwischen dem Erzählen in Bild und Text und seiner Wahrnehmung in der Perspektive der Rezipierenden beschrieben werden (vgl. Wieler 2014: 184). Doch was sind die spezifischen Potenziale des mehrsprachigen Erzählens in einem Bilderbuch in der Perspektive von mehrsprachigen Leserinnen und Lesern? Im Fokus des Beitrags steht die Rekonstruktion einer Vorlesesituation zum deutsch-russischen Bilderbuch Lindbergh in einer deutsch-russischen Familie. Auf Grundlage der ethnographischen Gesprächsanalyse (vgl. Deppermann 2000) wird deutlich, wie sich die Thematik des Buches, der Handlungsort, die Sprache und die Bildebene zu einem komplexen Bezugsystem für die mehrsprachigen Rezipierenden entwickeln.
The approach towards equilibrium in a reversible Ising dynamics model -- an information-theoretic analysis based on an exact solution

description: We study the approach towards equilibrium in a dynamic Ising model, the Q2R cellular automaton, with microscopic reversibility and conserved energy for an infinite one-dimensional system. Starting from a low-entropy state with positive magnetisation, we investigate how the system approaches equilibrium characteristics given by statistical mechanics. We show that the magnetisation converges to zero exponentially. The reversibility of the dynamics implies that the entropy density of the microstates is conserved in the time evolution. Still, it appears as if equilibrium, with a higher entropy density is approached. In order to understand this process, we solve the dynamics by formally proving how the information-theoretic characteristics of the microstates develop over time. With this approach we can show that an estimate of the entropy density based on finite length statistics within microstates converges to the equilibrium entropy density. The process behind this apparent entropy increase is a dissipation of correlation information over increasing distances. It is shown that the average information-theoretic correlation length increases linearly in time, being equivalent to a corresponding increase in excess entropy.

description: We consider an exactly solvable inhomogeneous Dicke model which describes an interaction between a disordered ensemble of two-level systems with single mode boson field. The existing method for evaluation of Richardson-Gaudin equations in the thermodynamical limit is extended to the case of Bethe equations in Dicke model. Using this extension, we present expressions both for the ground state and lowest excited states energies as well as leading-order finite-size corrections to these quantities for an arbitrary distribution of individual spin energies. We then evaluate these quantities for an equally-spaced distribution (constant density of states). In particular, we study evolution of the spectral gap and other related quantities. We also reveal regions on the phase diagram, where finite-size corrections are of particular importance.

description: Technologies that can contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases are mandatory, and those based on solar energy are good candidates to achieve this. In this sense, massive solar thermal collectors are suitable technologies for supplying the primary energy demand of buildings. To design these devices, it is necessary to fully understand the physics of the problem before proposing any new optimized solution. This review aims to briefly summarize significant aspects regarding the current state of development of these solar technologies. Attention is paid to works devoted to experimental studies to analyze the behavior of these systems, as well as numerical models to predict the physics of the problem. Furthermore, the future directions and prospects in the field of massive collectors are briefly described. The main novelty of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview that summarizes the works done so far in the field over the past 30 years, which allows the reader to delve deeper into the topic. According to the reviewed works, it can be concluded that these technologies can contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases while at the same time being excellent examples of the integration of solar energy devices with buildings.
title: Comics Art in Museums and Galleries: New Methods for Engagement and Education
titleType: Other
Creators: name: Dominiak, Zu
Publisher: name: University of Dundee
Year: 2023

description: This thesis explores how comics can enhance engagement with visitors at museums and galleries and how comics creators and institutions can use the educational potential of comics art through exhibitions and publications. It sets out to answer three main questions:

• What are museums and galleries’ benefits of displaying and using comics art?
• In what ways can comics art be used to create an engaging, educational environment?
• What issues or problems arise when displaying comics art in a museum and a gallery context, and what can be learned from previous examples?

This research establishes the three main ways of interaction with comics: through exhibitions and publications, printed and digital. One of the goals of this research is to provide a toolkit for curators looking to include comics. This thesis focuses on exhibitions and publications in English, which are put in an international context. Additionally, this work has practical and creative elements, demonstrating that comics can be used as a method of interaction with the audiences of arts institutions, both in-person and remotely.

Comics have often prompted questions about the nature of art and popular culture, amplified in the context of museums and galleries. This research shows that aside from this conversation, the medium can be used to engage the public, triggering discussions and enhancing the educational mission. Comics art is used with increasing frequency for these purposes, but the methods employed to create these works have not been studied in depth, nor have the aims and outcomes of such collaborations. It is noted in this study that problems often arise due to the lack of experience of institutions in terms of this medium and from the lack of expertise of creators working with such institutions. This research identifies the most common issues and offers solutions.

The full answer can be expressed in terms of the $W^{2,p}$ capacity for $p > 1$, and the $W^{1,2}$ (or Newtonian) capacity for $p = 1$. We then prove the existence of a solution of the problem above when $V$ belongs to the real Hardy space $H^1(Ω)$ and $μ$ is diffuse with respect to the $W^{2,1}$ capacity.

description: The USDA, Economic Research Service’s Food Price Outlook (FPO) provides monthly forecasts of annual food price percent changes up to 18 months in advance. The forecasts add value to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer and Producer Price Indexes (CPI, PPI) by giving farmers, wholesalers, retailers, institutional buyers, consumers, and policymakers a uniform set of predictions about food prices. The more accurate the predictions, the more value FPO contributes. Events such as recent natural disasters, the Great Recession, the Food Crisis of 2011, and the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted the importance of food price forecasting and the need for improvements to the forecasting methodology to enhance accuracy and treat uncertainty more rigorously. This technical bulletin describes a time-series-based approach for forecasting food prices which provides enhanced precision, removes potential biases from the specification process, and allows for a clearer characterization of uncertainty about future food prices. Four case studies are included to illustrate how these forecasts can be used.

Decays of a NMSSM CP-odd Higgs in the low-mass region

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: A popular regime in the NMSSM parameter space involves a light CP-odd Higgs $A_1$. This scenario has consequences for e.g. light singlino Dark Matter annihilating in the $A_1$-funnel. In order to confront the pseudoscalar to experimental limits such as flavour observables, Upsilon decays or Beam-Dump experiments, it is necessary to control the interactions of this particle with hadronic matter and derive the corresponding decays. The partonic description cannot be relied upon for masses close to $m_{A_1}\sim1$GeV and we employ a chiral lagrangian, then extended to a spectator model for somewhat larger masses, to describe the interplay of the CP-odd Higgs with hadrons. Interestingly, a mixing can develop between $A_1$ and neutral pseudoscalar mesons, leading to substantial hadronic decays and a coupling of $A_1$ to the chiral anomaly. Additionally, quartic $A_1$-meson couplings induce tri-meson decays of the Higgs pseudoscalar. We investigate these effects and propose an estimate of the Higgs widths for masses below $m_{A_1}\leq3$GeV. While we focus on the case of the NMSSM, our results are applicable to a large class of models.

description: We present the results of an extensive observational campaign on the nearby Type Ibn SN 2015G, including data from radio through ultraviolet wavelengths. SN 2015G was asymmetric, showing late-time nebular lines redshifted by ~1000 km/s. It shared many features with the prototypical SN In 2006jc, including extremely strong He I emssion lines and a late-time blue pseudocontinuum. The young SN 2015G showed narrow P-Cygni profiles of He I, but never in its evolution did it show any signature of hydrogen - arguing for a dense, ionized, and hydrogen-free circumstellar medium moving outward with a velocity of ~1000 km/s and created by relatively recent mass loss from the progenitor star. Ultraviolet through infrared observations show that the fading SN 2015G (which was probably discovered some 20 days post-peak) had a spectral energy distribution that was well described by a simple, single-component blackbody. Archival HST images provide upper limits on the luminosity of SN 2015G's progenitor, while nondetections of any luminous radio afterglow and optical nondetections of outbursts over the past two decades provide constraints upon its mass-loss history.

description: Nurses are the heart of the fundamental strengthening of the health system and the basis of providing basic health services. They bring the care that is centred on people to communities where it is most needed, which helps improve overall health results and the cost-effectiveness of the service. Nurses are generally the first responders to complex humanitarian crises and disasters, community protectors, advocates, communication and coordination experts. Nurse communication skills are crucial but difficult to master them. Successful teamwork is recognized as an essential component of much effective health care, and team training has proven effective in improving teamwork. Consequently, it is important to recognize the capabilities of teamwork in the field of medical education. Unfortunately, there is currently a lack of evidence-based frameworks for effective teamwork, which can be integrated into practice in all healthcare professions and medical education. The everyday challenges of teamwork in the field of health care are identified, and evidence-based strategies are developed to address them

description: We address edge states and rich localization regimes available in the one-dimensional (1D) dynamically modulated superlattices, both theoretically and numerically. In contrast to conventional lattices with straight waveguides, the quasi-energy band of infinite modulated superlattice is periodic not only in the transverse Bloch momentum, but it also changes periodically with increase of the coupling strength between waveguides. Due to collapse of quasi-energy bands dynamical superlattices admit known dynamical localization effect. If, however, such a lattice is truncated, periodic longitudinal modulation leads to appearance of specific edge states that exist within certain periodically spaced intervals of coupling constants. We discuss unusual transport properties of such truncated superlattices and illustrate different excitation regimes and enhanced robustness of edge states in them, that is associated with topology of the quasi-energy band.

description: Transport in strongly-disordered, metallic systems is governed by diffusive processes. Based on quantum mechanics, it has been conjectured that these diffusivities obey a lower bound $D/v^2\gtrsim \hbar/k_B T$, the saturation of which provides a mechanism for the T-linear resistivity of bad metals. This bound features a characteristic velocity $v$, which was later argued to be the butterfly velocity $v_B$, based on holographic models of transport. This establishes a link between incoherent metallic transport, quantum chaos and Planckian timescales. Here we study higher derivative corrections to an effective holographic action of homogeneous disorder. The higher derivative terms involve only the charge and translation symmetry breaking sector. We show that they have a strong impact on the bound on charge diffusion $D_c/v_B^2\gtrsim \hbar/k_B T$, by potentially making the coefficient of its right-hand side arbitrarily small. On the other hand, the bound on energy diffusion is not affected.

description: We extend Dain's construction of a geometric invariant characterising static initial data sets for the vacuum Einstein field equations to situations with a non-vanishing extrinsic curvature. This invariant gives a measure of how much the initial data sets deviates from stationarity. In particular, it vanishes if and only if the initial data set is stationary. Thus, the invariant provides a quantification of the amount of gravitational radiation contained in the initial data set.

In the real time mechanism, using the Mandelstam Leibbrant prescription of $(n\cdot K)^{-1}$, we calculate the transverse and longitudinal parts of the gluon HTL self-energy and prove the transverse and longitudinal parts do not have divergence. We also calculate the quark self energy in the HTL approximation, and find it gauge independent. We analytically calculate the damping rates of the hard quark and gluon with this HTL resumed gluon propagator.

These two communities are carefully designed to interconnect and supplement each other in forging a strong, dynamic and coherent framework and foundation for supporting the learning, collaboration and practice of SPEAR’s members individually and together. SPEAR’s CoL-CoP support cycle are the heart of SPEAR’s orientation towards enabling the participating practitioners to succeed in their Gender Equality (GE) work and towards long-term sustainability of their GE endeavours and communities. SPEAR’s Community of Practice (CoP) comprises a number of activities centered on providing the partners with a platform for open and structured exchanges of (individual, embodied) experiences and insights gathered during the development and implementation of Gender Equality Plans (GEPs) in addition to support and inspiration for practical implementation to match partners’ emerging needs. This deliverable explains SPEAR’s CoP-methodology including the explanation on background, design and necessity of SPEAR’s CoP.

description: We report the formation of perfectly aligned, high-density, shallow nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers on the ($111$) surface of a diamond. The study involved step-flow growth with a high flux of nitrogen during chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth, which resulted in the formation of a highly concentrated (>$10^{19}$ cm$^{-3}$) nitrogen layer approximately $10$ nm away from the substrate surface. Photon counts obtained from the NV centers indicated the presence of $6.1$x$10^{15}$-$3.1$x$10^{16}$ cm$^{-3}$ NV centers, which suggested the formation of an ensemble of NV centers. The optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectrum confirmed perfect alignment (more than $99$ %) for all the samples fabricated by step-flow growth via CVD. Perfectly aligned shallow ensemble NV centers indicated a high Rabi contrast of approximately $30$ % which is comparable to the values reported for a single NV center. Nanoscale NMR demonstrated surface-sensitive nuclear spin detection and provided a confirmation of the NV centers depth. Single NV center approximation indicated that the depth of the NV centers was approximately $9$-$10.7$ nm from the surface with error of less than $\pm$$0.8$ nm. Thus, a route for material control of shallow NV centers has been developed by step-flow growth using a CVD system. Our finding pioneers on the atomic level control of NV center alignment for large area quantum magnetometry.

The objective of this study is to understand the influence of gender on Grit, Self-Regulation and Personal Effectiveness. The study hypothesized that gender would play a role in development of the variables namely: Grit, Self-Regulation and Personal Effectiveness. Data was collected from 402 male and female students aged between 22 to 27 years, who are either in their undergraduate studies or in their first year of the MBA program and had taken the CAT entrance exam. Independent samples t-test results revealed a gender difference in passion dimension of Grit and stress management of personal effectiveness. The findings of the present study offer important implications to psychologists, teachers, parents, researchers, educational/coaching institutes, and majorly the students.

description: The quantum Otto cycle serves as a bridge between the macroscopic world of heat engines and the quantum regime of thermal devices composed from a single element. We compile recent studies of the quantum Otto cycle with a harmonic oscillator as a working medium. This model has the advantage that it is analytically trackable. In addition, an experimental realization has been achieved employing a single ion in a harmonic trap. The review is embedded in the field of quantum thermodynamics and quantum open systems. The basic principles of the theory are explained by a specific example illuminating the basic definitions of work and heat. The relation between quantum observables and the state of the system is emphasized. The dynamical description of the cycle is based on a completely positive map formulated as a propagator for each stroke of the engine. Explicit solutions for these propagators are described on a vector space of quantum thermodynamical observables. These solutions which employ different assumptions and techniques are compared. The tradeoff between power and efficiency is the focal point of finite-time-thermodynamics. The dynamical model enables to study finite time cycles limiting time on the adiabtic and the thermalization times. Explicit finite time solutions are found which are frictionless, meaning that no coherence is generated also known as shortcuts to adiabaticity. The transition from frictionless to sudden adiabats is characterized by a non-hermitian degeneracy in the propagator. In addition the influence of noise on the control is illustrated. These results are used to close the cycles either as engines or as refrigerators.

description: Recent classical-statistical numerical simulations have established the "bottom-up" thermalization scenario of Baier et al. as the correct weak coupling effective theory for thermalization in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. We perform a parametric study of photon production in the various stages of this bottom-up framework to ascertain the relative contribution of the off-equilibrium "Glasma" relative to that of a thermalized Quark-Gluon Plasma. Taking into account the constraints imposed by the measured charged hadron multiplicities at RHIC and the LHC, we find that Glasma contributions are important especially for large values of the saturation scale at both energies. These non-equilibrium effects should therefore be taken into account in studies where weak coupling methods are employed to compute photon yields.

description: Methylation of cytosine to 5-methylcytosine (mC) at CpG sites is a prevalent reversible epigenetic mark in vertebrates established by DNA methyltransferases (MTases); the attached methyl groups can alter local structure of DNA and chromatin as well as binding of dedicated proteins. Nucleosome assembly on methylated DNA has been studied extensively, however little is known how the chromatin structure is affected by larger chemical variations in the major groove of DNA. Here, we studied the nucleosome formation in vitro on DNA containing an extended 5mC analog, 5-(6-azidohex-2-ynyl)cytosine (ahyC) installed at biological relevant CpG sites. We found that multiple ahyC residues on 80-Widom and Hsp70 promoter DNA fragments proved compatible with nucleosome assembly. Moreover, unlike mC, ahyC increases the affinity of histones to the DNA, partially altering nucleosome positioning, stability, and the action of chromatin remodelers. Based on molecular dynamics calculations, we suggest that these new features are due to increased DNA flexibility at ahyC-modified sites. Our findings provide new insights into the biophysical behavior of modified DNA and open new ways for directed design of synthetic nucleosomes.

description: We obtain a spectral gap characterization of strongly ergodic equivalence relations on standard measure spaces. We use our spectral gap criterion to prove that a large class of skew-product equivalence relations arising from measurable $1$-cocycles with values into locally compact abelian groups are strongly ergodic. By analogy with the work of Connes on full factors, we introduce the Sd and $τ$ invariants for type ${\rm III}$ strongly ergodic equivalence relations. As a corollary to our main results, we show that for any type ${\rm III_1}$ ergodic equivalence relation $\mathcal R$, the Maharam extension $\mathord{\text {c}}(\mathcal R)$ is strongly ergodic if and only if $\mathcal R$ is strongly ergodic and the invariant $τ(\mathcal R)$ is the usual topology on $\mathbf R$. We also obtain a structure theorem for almost periodic strongly ergodic equivalence relations analogous to Connes' structure theorem for almost periodic full factors. Finally, we prove that for arbitrary strongly ergodic free actions of bi-exact groups (e.g. hyperbolic groups), the Sd and $τ$ invariants of the orbit equivalence relation and of the associated group measure space von Neumann factor coincide.

description: In this paper, we give a more pellucid derivation for the cascaded lattice Boltzmann method (CLBM) based on a general multiple-relaxation-time (MRT) frame through defining a shift matrix. When the shift matrix is a unit matrix, the CLBM degrades into an MRT LBM. Based on this, a consistent forcing scheme is developed for the CLBM. The applicability of the non-slip rule, the second-order convergence rate in space and the property of isotropy for the consistent forcing scheme is demonstrated through the simulation of several canonical problems. Several other existing force schemes previously used in the CLBM are also examined. The study clarifies the relation between MRT LBM and CLBM under a general framework.

description: The low-energy description of wrapped M5 branes in compactifications of M-theory on a Calabi-Yau threefold times a circle is given by a conformal field theory studied by Maldacena, Strominger and Witten and known as the MSW CFT. Taking the threefold to be T$^6$ or K3xT$^2$, we construct a map between a sub-sector of this CFT and a sub-sector of the D1-D5 CFT. We demonstrate this map by considering a set of D1-D5 CFT states that have smooth horizonless bulk duals, and explicitly constructing the supergravity solutions dual to the corresponding states of the MSW CFT. We thus obtain the largest known class of solutions dual to MSW CFT microstates, and demonstrate that five-dimensional ungauged supergravity admits much larger families of smooth horizonless solutions than previously known.

description: O SARS-COV-2 rapidamente configurou uma Emergência Sanitária Internacional ocasionado em milhões de casos em todo o mundo, com milhares de mortos e inúmeros sobreviventes. Torna-se relevante concentrar esforços com o intuito de entender os aspectos envolvidos e já relatados por outras investigações abordando sequelas do Pós-covid 19, visto que inúmeros estudos ainda estão sendo desenvolvidos abordando esta temática. Neste contexto, tem crescido a preocupação das repercussões deste agravo no Sistema Nervoso Central o número crescente de casos e mortes causados pelo SARSCOV-2 durante o período pandêmico e periférico. As revisões rápidas têm como estratégias o intuito de garantir a disponibilização de evidências cientificas de qualidade aos tomadores de decisão. Nesta perspectiva, tal protocolo visa identificar as principais sequelas neurológicas do Pós-Covid 19, citadas em trabalhos de revisões sistemáticas produzidas em idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, nos anos de 2020 a 2022.
Multi-partite entanglement speeds up quantum key distribution in networks

description: The laws of quantum mechanics allow for the distribution of a secret random key between two parties. Here we analyse the security of a protocol for establishing a common secret key between N parties (i.e. a conference key), using resource states with genuine N-partite entanglement. We compare this protocol to conference key distribution via bipartite entanglement, regarding the required resources, achievable secret key rates and threshold qubit error rates. Furthermore we discuss quantum networks with bottlenecks for which our multipartite entanglement-based protocol can benefit from network coding, while the bipartite protocol cannot. It is shown how this advantage leads to a higher secret key rate.

description: We explore the field-temperature phase diagram of the XY pyrochlore antiferromagnet Er$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$, by means of magnetization and neutron diffraction experiments. Depending on the field strength and direction relative to the high symmetry cubic directions $[001], [1\bar{1}0]$ and $[111]$, the refined field induced magnetic structures are derived from the zero field $ψ_2$ and $ψ_3$ states of the $Γ_5$ irreducible representation which describes the ground state of XY pyrochlore antiferromagnets. At low field, domain selection effects are systematically at play. In addition, for $[001]$, a phase transition is reported towards a $ψ_3$ structure at a characteristic field $H_c^{001}=$ 43 mT. For $[1\bar{1}0]$ and $[111]$, the spins are continuously tilted by the field from the $ψ_2$ state, and no phase transition is found while domain selection gives rise to sharp anomalies in the field dependence of the Bragg peaks intensity. For $[1\bar{1}0]$, these results are confirmed by high resolution inelastic neutron scattering experiments, which in addition allow us to determine the field dependence of the spin gap. This study agrees qualitatively with the scenario proposed theoretically by Maryasin {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 93}, 100406(R) (2016)], yet the strength of the field induced anisotropies is significantly different from theory.

A roadmap to transfer knowledge gained on pure culture of purple phototrophic bacteria to the application in non-axenic mixed cultures, including strategies to fill knowledge gaps.
Creators: name: Working Group 1 Of The PurpleGain COST Action
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Purple bacteria, biotechnology,

description: The PurpleGain COST Action aims to connect the stakeholders of the entire value chain from waste streams to end-products propelled by Phototrophic Purple Bacteria (PPB). In this network of excellence, we will make use of the state-of-the-art knowledge and know-how generated at the most prominent European research institutes in the field of PPB-based resource recovery. Scientific, technological, and analytical approaches will be harmonized on this interactive platform to bridge experts of pure-culture and mixed-culture biotechnologies in Europe and overseas. PurpleGain will establish PPB science and technologies at the root of circularity and bio-based economy initiatives driven by the European Union (EU) from thorough scientific to high technology readiness levels (TRL). Through PPB, we will demonstrate the effective operability of bio-based resource recovery across the continuum of pure-culture, co-culture and mixed-culture biotechnologies.
 The goal of this roadmap is to elaborate an integrated strategy allowing the transfer of extensive knowledge already available at pure culture level, and addressing fundamental aspects of PPB metabolism, in an industrial context where PPB are used for the development of applied biotechnologies.

description: The present document constitutes the Deliverable D6.2 “Tool for performance assessment” in the framework of the WP6, Task 6.2 IP4MaaS project (S2R-OC-IP4-01-2020, GA 101015492). This deliverable will set the terminology list used in this project as a starting point, summarizing the concepts from the previous IP4 projects. Those new concepts introduced by the IP4MaaS project will be differentiated, and special attention will be paid to those topics with a different meaning than the other IP4 projects (COHESIVE, CONNECTIVE, ExtenSive, RIDE2RAIL). This deliverable, as a tool for performance assessment, will focus on the analysis and assessment of specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and User Satisfaction Index (USI survey) based on the methodological framework which has been discussed in D3.2 “List of operational KPIs, analysis of the users’ satisfaction and methodology as a whole, F-REL” (WP3) to obtain the final weight of benefits cluster and IP4MaaS functionalities in Athens demo site phase I. After explaining the methodology and the concept of the effectiveness formula, this deliverable indicates how this methodology can calculate the final weight of IP4 functionalities through operational Key Performance Indicators (KIPs) and the User Satisfaction Index (USI). Furthermore, it will evaluate user satisfaction with the IP4 solution1 and illustrate how the Effectiveness will be calculated for each user profile and the technological innovation.
