description: This poster illustrates the research findings concerning the implementation of children’s rights to privacy and data protection in Europe, and particularly the requirements associated with the principle of transparency under the EU data protection law. Article 12 (1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires service providers to “take appropriate measures to provide any information [...] relating to processing to the data subject in a concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language, in particular for any information addressed specifically to a child”. Recital 58 GDPR provides further clarity, stating that “any information and communication, where processing is addressed to a child, should be in such a clear and plain language that the child can easily understand”. The particular (items of) information that should be provided to data subjects is listed in articles 13 and 14 GDPR. The poster summarises the provisional findings of a compliance check exercise unravelling whether and how the privacy and data policies of the three most popular voice assistants available in Europe – Amazon Echo, Google Nest and Apple HomePod – comply with the GDPR transparency requirements in terms of the processing of children’s (voice) data. More generally, this research investigates how child-friendly transparency could be put into practice and explore a number of methods that could be adopted to achieve this goal.

Institutional repositories
Japan

description: In Japan, about 800 libraries operate an institutional repository, but only about 5% of their journal articles are registered. In our previous research, we found "Email Service to Request Fulltext," which is a library operation directly approaching researchers, has the highest impact on increasing the number of journal articles. To improve the situation, what should be done is disseminating the operation among libraries. However, libraries are required to perform energy-consuming tasks as prerequisites for the operation: (1) searching journal articles of affiliated researchers and (2) searching the journals' archiving policies. Therefore, we started developing an "OA Assist System" for JAIRO Cloud, the most widespread institutional repository service in Japan, to perform the tasks on behalf of libraries. The system was developed to perform the tasks by (1) periodically searching Web of Science and (2) searching the archiving policy database we had made. Through these functions, the system enables libraries to simultaneously check the information about newly published journal articles of affiliated researchers and their archiving policies. Therefore, libraries only need to implement the operation. Since about 600 libraries operate JAIRO Cloud, the development of the system will lead to the dissemination of the operation and, eventually, the progress of OA.

description: We present HI observations of four giant low surface brightness (GLSB) galaxies UGC 1378, UGC 1922, UGC 4422 and UM 163 using the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope (GMRT). We include HI results on UGC 2936, UGC 6614 and Malin 2 from literature. HI is detected from all the galaxies and the extent is roughly twice the optical size; in UM 163, HI is detected along a broken disk encircling the optical galaxy. We combine our results with those in literature to further understand these systems. The main results are the following: (1) The peak HI surface densities in GLSB galaxies are several times 10^21 cm^{-2} . The HI mass is between 0.3 - 4 x 10^10 M_Sun/yr, dynamical mass ranges from a few times 10^11 M_Sun/yr to a few times 10^12 M_Sun/yr. (2) The rotation curves of GLSB galaxies are flat to the outermost measured point with rotation velocities of the seven GLSB galaxies being between 225 and 432 km s^{-1}. (3) Recent star formation traced by near-ultraviolet emission in five GLSB galaxies in our sample appears to be located in rings around the galaxy centre. We suggest that this could be due to a stochastic burst of star formation at one location in the galaxy being propagated along a ring over a rotation period. (4) The Hi is correlated with recent star formation in five of the seven GLSB galaxies.

description: Intelligent agents must be able to communicate intentions and explain their decision-making processes to build trust, foster confidence, and improve human-agent team dynamics. Recognizing this need, academia and industry are rapidly proposing new ideas, methods, and frameworks to aid in the design of more explainable AI. Yet, there remains no standardized metric or experimental protocol for benchmarking new methods, leaving researchers to rely on their own intuition or ad hoc methods for assessing new concepts. In this work, we present the first comprehensive (n = 286) user study testing a wide range of approaches for explainable machine learning, including feature importance, probability scores, decision trees, counterfactual reasoning, natural language explanations, and case-based reasoning, as well as a baseline condition with no explanations. We provide the first large-scale empirical evidence of the effects of explainability on human-agent teaming. Our results will help to guide the future of explainability research by highlighting the benefits of counterfactual explanations and the shortcomings of confidence scores for explainability. We also propose a novel questionnaire to measure explainability with human participants, inspired by relevant prior work and correlated with human-agent teaming metrics.

Interoperability

description: Openness, reliability, and interoperability of research information are increasingly important to the research community. To enable it, a growing number of research infrastructures are focusing on developing interoperability and metadata reuse, in particular addressing some shared challenges like name ambiguity of researchers and transparency in disseminating research outputs. Universal uptake of ORCID is inherent in ORCID's mission However, although individual researchers in nearly every country have registered for ORCID iDs, organizational membership and national communities of practices are lacking in much of the Global South. Communities of practices are considered necessary to optimize efficiency and maintain good practices in adopting open infrastructures like ORCID. In this context, this proposal covers ORCID's Global Participation Fund (GPF), an initiative developed to remedy gaps in ORCID participation from organizations in the Global South. In these Focus Communities of the GPF, we aim to provide funds to: foster the development of ORCID Communities of Practice, working with local partners who can build understanding and use of ORCID in local contexts; and create and enhance technical integrations in open-source platforms to support the realization of the benefits provided by the use of ORCID, such as name disambiguation, trustworthy connections and metadata reuse.

Containerized application
DSpace

description: The use of containers for application hosting is no longer a novel concept, however the method can lead to novel outcomes, such as increased viability for resource limited organizations to own and curate repositories. Through the process of Cornell University Library IT (CUL IT) migrating its institutional repository from DSpace 6 to 7, developers chose to containerize the newest DSpace instance, creating opportunity for the wider, global community. By creating a container image of DSpace 7, we can support the democratization of the requirements needed to deploy a repository. No longer would one need a multitude of IT staff to install a DSpace instance, when a turnkey option can run with the push of a button. By removing some of the barriers associated with hosting a digital repository, we can empower previously hindered information curators to stand up a repository with relative ease, thus promoting free and open access to scholarship and research materials worldwide. In this presentation, we will discuss the steps required to create a containerized application of DSpace 7, the challenges we faced including those related to batch processing, and the necessary requirements to package this solution for DSpace administrators.

Manipulating antiferromagnets with magnetic fields: ratchet motion of multiple domain walls induced by asymmetric field pulses

Year: 2016

description: Future applications of antiferromagnets (AFs) in many spintronics devices rely on the precise manipulation of domain walls. The conventional approach using static magnetic fields is inefficient due to the low susceptibility of AFs. Recently proposed electrical manipulation with spin-orbit torques is restricted to metals with a specific crystal structure. Here we propose an alternative, broadly applicable approach: using asymmetric magnetic field pulses to induce controlled ratchet motion of AF domain walls. The efficiency of this approach is based on three peculiarities of AF dynamics. First, a time-dependent magnetic field couples with an AF order parameter stronger than a static magnetic field, which leads to higher mobility of the domain walls. Second, the rate of change of the magnetic field couples with the spatial variation of the AF order parameter inside the domain and this enables synchronous motion of multiple domain walls with the same structure. Third, tailored asymmetric field pulses in combination with static friction can prevent backward motion of domain walls and thus lead to the desired controlled ratchet effect. The proposed use of an external field, rather than internal spin-orbit torques, avoids any restrictions on size, conductivity, and crystal structure of the AF material. We believe that our approach paves a way for the development of new AF-based devices based on controlled motion of AF domain walls.

description: In this paper we present an algorithm to build a road network map enriched with traffic rules such as one-way streets and forbidden turns, based on the interpretation of already detected and classified traffic signs. Such algorithm helps to automatize the elaboration of maps for commercial navigation systems. Our solution is based on simulating navigation along the road network, determining at each point of interest the visibility of the signs and their effect on the roads. We test our approach in a small urban network and discuss various ways to generalize it to support more complex environments.

description: Reading may become dull and boring if the amount of information is large and complex. Using charts, graphs and three-dimensional objects to visualize the data is easier than poring over spreadsheets or reports. In this project, we've experimented with 3D visualization techniques for presenting repository data in a more novel and engaging manner. We are trying to reach out to "touch" communities, collections, items and profiles from DSpace 7 in a virtual environment, helping users to understand and deal with data. Based on the data types, architectures and relationships present in DSpace 7, we implement 3D and 2D data visualization using Threejs, an open source JavaScript library used to display animated 3D and 2D objects in a web browser. Our attempt is to create an optional 3D UI to allow users to capture and describe digital material in DSpace, to add fun and excitement to exploring repositories.

description: Valuing diversity leads to scientific excellence, the progress of science and most importantly, it is simply the right thing to do. We can value diversity not only in words, but also in actions. From the structure of DNA,1 to computer science,2 and space-station batteries,3 several key scientific discoveries that enhance our lives today, were made by marginalized scientists. These three scientists, Rosalind E. Franklin, Alan M. Turing and Olga D. González-Sanabria, did not conform to the cultural expectations of how scientists should look and behave. Unfortunately, marginalized scientists are often viewed as just a resource rather than the lifeblood that constitutes science itself. We need to embrace scientists from all walks of life and corners of the globe; this will also mean that nobody is excluded from tackling the life-threatening societal challenges that lie ahead. An awareness of science policy is essential to safeguarding our future. Science policy deals with creating the framework and codes of conduct that determine how science can best serve society.4-6 Discussions around science policy are often accompanied by anecdotes of “good” and “bad” practices regarding the merits of diversity and inclusion. Excellence and truth, which flow inexorably from diversity and inclusion, are the bedrocks upon which science should influence political and economic outcomes. A vital area of science policy is to support the professional development of marginalized scientists, an objective that must be acted upon by scientific leaders and communicators...

description: Alternative exact expressions are derived for the minimum error probability of a hypothesis test discriminating among $M$ quantum states. The first expression corresponds to the error probability of a binary hypothesis test with certain parameters; the second involves the optimization of a given information-spectrum measure. Particularized in the classical-quantum channel coding setting, this characterization implies the tightness of two existing converse bounds; one derived by Matthews and Wehner using hypothesis-testing, and one obtained by Hayashi and Nagaoka via an information-spectrum approach.

Scholarly web

description: On a repository's landing page of a scholarly article, a human can easily derive the article's title, author, PID, PDF version for download, and even related datasets and source code. The same task is inherently difficult for a machine to accomplish. We have developed the Signposting concept and specifically the FAIR Signposting Profile to address this issue. We propose repositories use typed HTTP link headers to convey information about their scholarly artifacts. This level of navigation for machines aligns repository systems more closely to the FAIR principles, supports the development of true interoperability e.g., via the COAR Notify initiative, and represents an approach that builds on and features decentralized scholarly infrastructure.

description: The TK and BC Labels are an initiative for Indigenous communities and local organizations. Developed through sustained partnership and testing within Indigenous communities across multiple countries, the Labels allow communities to express local and specific conditions for sharing and engaging in future research and relationships in ways that are consistent with already existing community rules, governance, and protocols for using, sharing and circulating knowledge and data. ADA has an interest in establishing the means for providing suitable representation of indigenous knowledge within the Dataverse software. This includes functionality in Dataverse to: - link to and incorporate identified sources for indigenous knowledge representation, such as TKLabels and Notices - curation processes for managing the creation, reading, updating, and deleting of metadata - present curated metadata (e.g., TKLabels and TKNotices) in catalogue records - allow external aggregators to harvest this metadata (specifically the IDN Data Catalogue, but a preferably standardized model that allows for multiple external parties to harvest)

description: SciDB is a scalable, computational database management system that uses an array model for data storage. The array data model of SciDB makes it ideally suited for storing and managing large amounts of imaging data. SciDB is designed to support advanced analytics in database, thus reducing the need for extracting data for analysis. It is designed to be massively parallel and can run on commodity hardware in a high performance computing (HPC) environment. In this paper, we present the performance of SciDB using simulated image data. The Dynamic Distributed Dimensional Data Model (D4M) software is used to implement the benchmark on a cluster running the MIT SuperCloud software stack. A peak performance of 2.2M database inserts per second was achieved on a single node of this system. We also show that SciDB and the D4M toolbox provide more efficient ways to access random sub-volumes of massive datasets compared to the traditional approaches of reading volumetric data from individual files. This work describes the D4M and SciDB tools we developed and presents the initial performance results. This performance was achieved by using parallel inserts, a in-database merging of arrays as well as supercomputing techniques, such as distributed arrays and single-program-multiple-data programming.

Digital collections assessment
Ethics
Digital object reuse

description: The DLF AIG Content Reuse Working Group is developing tools and documentation to better assess the reuse of digital objects. This is particularly of relevance to GLAMR practitioners since there are no established definitions, standards, or common practices for the assessment of digital object reuse. This presentation will focus on two deliverables: a set of reuse assessment data collection Recommended Practices and Ethical Guidelines for assessing reuse. Presenters will provide an overview of the Recommended Practices and associated tools that practitioners can utilize to collect reuse assessment data. They will introduce the Ethical Guidelines and discuss how practitioners can use them to develop more considerate assessment practices for understanding the reuse of the collections they steward. The Guidelines aim to examine the social and political overtures of those working in and impacted by GLAMR environments, and the importance of aligning ethics, values, and accountability in the work process from which future peers draw. Presenters will conclude the talk by articulating how the Recommended Practices and Ethical Guidelines begin to address the lack of standards and common practices for assessing reuse as well as by situating these outputs in the IMLS-funded project "Digital Content Reuse Assessment Framework Toolkit."

description: We present large-scale trends in the distribution of star-forming objects revealed by the Hi-GAL survey. As a simple metric probing the prevalence of star formation in Hi-GAL sources, we define the fraction of the total number of Hi-GAL sources with a 70-micron counterpart as the "star-forming fraction" or SFF. The mean SFF in the inner galactic disc (3.1 kpc < R_GC < 8.6 kpc) is 25%. Despite an apparent pile-up of source numbers at radii associated with spiral arms, the SFF shows no significant deviations at these radii, indicating that the arms do not affect the star-forming productivity of dense clumps either via physical triggering processes or through the statistical effects of larger source samples associated with the arms. Within this range of Galactocentric radii, we find that the SFF declines with R_GC at a rate of -0.026 +/- 0.002 per kiloparsec, despite the dense gas mass fraction having been observed to be constant in the inner Galaxy. This suggests that the SFF may be weakly dependent on one or more large-scale physical properties of the Galaxy, such as metallicity, radiation field, pressure or shear, such that the dense sub-structures of molecular clouds acquire some internal properties inherited from their environment.

description: Based on the already existing analytical theory of the strongly-nonlinear wakefield (which is called "bubble") in transversely inhomogeneous plasmas, we study particular behavior of non-loaded (empty) bubbles and bubbles with accelerated bunches. We obtain an analytical expression for the shape of a non-loaded bubble in a general case and verify it with particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. We derive a method of calculation of the acceleration efficiency for arbitrary accelerated bunches. The influence of flat-top electron bunches on the shape of a bubble is studied. It is also shown that it is possible to achieve acceleration in a homogeneous longitudinal electric field by the adjustment of the longitudinal density profile of the accelerated electron bunch. The predictions of the model are verified by 3D PIC simulations and are in a good agreement with them.

description: Organizations are often faced with the challenge of providing data management solutions for large, heterogenous datasets that may have different underlying data and programming models. For example, a medical dataset may have unstructured text, relational data, time series waveforms and imagery. Trying to fit such datasets in a single data management system can have adverse performance and efficiency effects. As a part of the Intel Science and Technology Center on Big Data, we are developing a polystore system designed for such problems. BigDAWG (short for the Big Data Analytics Working Group) is a polystore system designed to work on complex problems that naturally span across different processing or storage engines. BigDAWG provides an architecture that supports diverse database systems working with different data models, support for the competing notions of location transparency and semantic completeness via islands and a middleware that provides a uniform multi--island interface. Initial results from a prototype of the BigDAWG system applied to a medical dataset validate polystore concepts. In this article, we will describe polystore databases, the current BigDAWG architecture and its application on the MIMIC II medical dataset, initial performance results and our future development plans.

description: We construct foreground simulations comprising spatially correlated extragalactic and diffuse Galactic emission components and calculate the `intrinsic' (instrument-free) two-dimensional spatial power spectrum and the cylindrically and spherically averaged three-dimensional k-space power spectra of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) and our foreground simulations using a Bayesian power spectral estimation framework. This leads us to identify a model dependent region of optimal signal estimation for our foreground and EoR models, within which the spatial power in the EoR signal relative to foregrounds is maximised. We identify a target field dependent region, in k-space, of intrinsic foreground power spectral contamination at low k_perp and k_parallel and a transition to a relatively foreground-free intrinsic EoR window in the complement to this region. The contaminated region of k-space demonstrates that simultaneous estimation of the EoR and foregrounds is important for obtaining statistically robust estimates of the EoR power spectrum; biased results will be obtained from methodologies that ignore their covariance. Using simulated observations with frequency dependent uv-coverage and primary beam, with the former derived for HERA in 37-antenna and 331-antenna configuration, we recover instrumental power spectra consistent with their intrinsic counterparts. We discuss the implications of these results for optimal strategies for unbiased estimation of the EoR power spectrum.

description: The occurrence of revivals of quantum entanglement between separated open quantum systems has been shown not only for dissipative non-Markovian quantum environments but also for classical environments in absence of back-action. While the phenomenon is well understood in the first case, the possibility to retrieve entanglement when the composite quantum system is subject to local classical noise has generated a debate regarding its interpretation. This dynamical property of open quantum systems assumes an important role in quantum information theory from both fundamental and practical perspectives. Hybrid quantum-classical systems are in fact promising candidates to investigate the interplay among quantum and classical features and to look for possible control strategies of a quantum system by means of a classical device. Here we present an overview on this topic, reporting the most recent theoretical and experimental results about the revivals of entanglement between two qubits locally interacting with classical environments. We also review and discuss the interpretations provided so far to explain this phenomenon, suggesting that they can be cast under a unified viewpoint.

We show that, in spatial dimension one, if an SPTO phase supports quantum wire, then, subject to an additional symmetry condition that is satisfied in all cases so far investigated, it can also be used for quantum computation.

description: According to the Journal of Addiction Medicine, substance abuse affects almost half of those with serious mental problems20. At least one significant mental disease is present in 37 percent of alcoholics and 53 percent of drug addicts26. As a result, traditionally established treatments are generally rendered ineffective when a substance-dependent patient also has a Substance Use Disorder (SUD). Patients with SUDs frequently experience social anxiety, inaccurate self-perception, and heightened emotional reactions, all of which can obstruct substance abuse treatment therapy, necessitating a dual-diagnosed treatment paradigm. The objectives of Study-I (DAWN: Drug Abuse Warning Network) are (1) to understand the trend of substance abuse in the United States from 2005 to 2011, using ED admission data, and (2) To understand the independent variables that are predictors of admission to hospital detoxification, chemical dependency, psychiatric unit. The drugs of abuse included: Alcohol, Illicit, Pharmaceuticals, Non-medical usage of Pharmaceuticals, and Allabuse (Substance Abuse Combinations of drugs). The objectives of Study-II (NSDUH: National Survey on Drug Use and Health) are (3) to examine treatment outcomes in patients diagnosed with substance use and Substance Use Disorder (SUDs), receiving medication and psychosocial treatment, and (4) to examine predictors of Opioid Dependence within the substance use and SUDS diagnosed sample.

description: Heterostructures combining topological and non-topological materials constitute the next frontier in the effort to incorporate topological insulators (TIs) into functional electronic devices. We show that the properties of the interface states appearing at the planar boundary between a topologically-trivial semiconductor (SE) and a TI are controlled by the symmetry of the interface. In contrast to the well-studied helical Dirac surface states, SE-TI interface states exhibit elliptical contours of constant energy and complex spin textures with broken helicity. We derive a general effective Hamiltonian for SE-TI junctions, and propose experimental signatures such as an out of plane spin accumulation under a transport current and the opening of a spectral gap that depends on the direction of an applied in-plane magnetic field.

The Harvard Data Commons: Leveraging COAR Notify to create interoperability between Harvard data and institutional repositories
Creators: name: Lukens, Colin

Subjects: OR2023

description: During the pandemic, Harvard's institutional, open-access repository, DASH (DSpace), and Harvard's data repository, Dataverse, collaborated to expedite the open access of Harvard COVID-19 research. In support of discoverability, reproducibility, and increased interconnectivity within the scholarly ecosystem, we prioritized cross-linking of open-access articles and their underlying datasets. However, linking datasets in Dataverse to articles in DASH was a manual process, executed by each repository's manager at the behest of the depositing author(s). This service was difficult to manage and communicate to users - a more automated and scalable solution was needed. In 2021, under the Harvard Data Commons Project, an integration between DASH and Dataverse was created using the COAR Notify Protocol. While this communications protocol was primarily designed to support overlay journal networks and open peer-review, it was leveraged to automate the communication between DASH and Dataverse repository managers and simplify connecting datasets to articles for Harvard scholars. This application also allowed the project team to learn and apply Notify in advance of its possible future use at the Harvard Library. In this presentation, we will detail COAR Notify, how it has been applied to create interoperability between Harvard's open-access and data repositories, demonstrate our integration, and share lessons learned.

description: The Arcadia-funded [1] COAR Notify Project [2, 3] is developing and accelerating community adoption of a standard, interoperable, and decentralised approach to linking research outputs hosted in the distributed network of repositories with resources from external services such as overlay-journals and open peer review services, using linked data notifications. As part of this project, COAR is funding the development of platforms and systems to support the exchange of linked data notifications across partner organisations and the workflows to manage notifications in those platforms and systems. As the largest adopted repository platform in the World one of the first platforms to be addressed is DSpace the implementation of which has been entrusted to 4Science in continuation with a previous proof-of-concept project [4]. This presentation will focus on the COAR Notify implementation in DSpace, informing the audience about the progress of such implementation, the expected adoption of it in the DSpace mainstream codebase and how to adopt it in their repositories.

Linked data notifications

description: The COAR Notify Initiative is developing and accelerating community adoption of a standard, interoperable, and decentralised approach to linking research outputs hosted in the distributed network of repositories with other external resources. The Notify Protocol builds on the established Linked Data Notifications and ActivityStreams2 W3C standards, allowing Notify-enabled repositories and services to communicate with each other seamlessly. The initial focus of development has been on the use case of connecting repository resources with external peer reviews hosted by overlay journals and open review services, but there are also other use cases that are of interest to the community such as connecting articles with research data. In July 2022, the COAR Notify Initiative received a substantial grant from Arcadia, (a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin), which has enabled us to invest in the development of Notify functionality in partner platforms and services, with the aim of having the code brought adopted widely into open source platforms so that many repositories can make use of the protocol. This presentation will provide an update on progress to date with the COAR Notify Initiative including a short demonstration of current implementation(s) and planned developments for the next several months.
Third harmonic generation from graphene lying on different substrates: Optical-phonon resonances and interference effects

description: Graphene is a nonlinear material which can be used as a saturable absorber, frequency mixer and frequency multiplier. We investigate the third harmonic generation from graphene lying on different substrates, consisting of a dielectric (dispersionless or polar), metalized or non-metalized on the back side. We show that the third harmonic intensity emitted from graphene lying on a substrate, can be increased by orders of magnitude as compared to the isolated graphene, due the LO-phonon resonances in a polar dielectric or due to the interference effects in the substrates metalized on the back side. In some frequency intervals, the presence of the polar dielectric substrate compensates the strongly decreasing with $ω$ frequency dependence of the third-order conductivity of graphene making the response almost frequency independent.

SDGs

description: The OpenAIRE MONITOR service provides organizations (funders, RPOs, research initiatives and infrastructures) the opportunity to discover, track and understand the trends and impact of their research activities via interactive data and visualization dashboards. The indicators presented therein are built on top of the OpenAIRE Research Graph - an open graph database that aggregates scholarly output data from repositories and other data sources - to help produce actionable insights on the impact pathways of research activities. Key in the monitoring and evaluation of such activities is their content. In particular, OpenAIRE uses machine learning algorithms to classify publications and datasets to the scientific domains and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) they contribute to, culminating in a set of indicators in the OpenAIRE Monitor dashboards that can help assess the reach, visibility and overall societal impact of scholarly output and how this is affected by open infrastructures and overall open science uptake.
