description: Controlled vocabularies are an important form of metadata, and are used for a broad range of purposes. This webinar looks at how controlled vocabularies and similar types of concept schemes are used in and supported by the DDI standards. An introduction is provided for their use as qualifiers for metadata fields, as codelists and classifications for representing variables and response domains, as terms for describing coverage and supporting search, and for their use in defining variables, units, and populations. The support provided by DDI standards – including the XKOS RDF vocabulary – is highlighted. Real-world examples are provided, to illustrate the purposes described. Presenters: Christophe Dzikowski (INSEE), Darren Bell (UK Data Service), Arofan Gregory (DDI Alliance and CODATA), with an introduction by Laura Molloy (CODATA).

description: The third webinar in the 2022 CODATA-DDI Alliance webinar series took place on Thu 16 June 2022 on the topic, “Metadata Uplift – PDF/Excel to Structured DDI Documentation”. Many organizations document their data using formats such as PDF and Excel. While useful to readers, the metadata which makes up the core ‘documentation’ is not fully machine-actionable. This webinar explores the ways in which organizations can take existing data documentation in typical formats and produce structured, machine-actionable XML metadata according to the DDI Codebook (DDI-C) and DDI Lifecycle (DDI-L) standards. The goal of the workshop is to introduce some common approaches based on existing tools and the real-world experience of DDI users who have faced and met this challenge. Our panel of expert speakers, included Arofan Gregory, consultant; Hayley Mills, CLOSER (https://www.closer.ac.uk/); and Adrian Dusa, University of Bucharest. While most common in the social, behavioral, and economic (SBE) sciences, the DDI standards are also used in public health, official statistics, and in other domains where populations are being observed. The forthcoming DDI Cross-Domain Integration (DDI-CDI) is also be briefly introduced, as a means of exposing SBE data to other domains for reuse, building on the foundations of structured metadata in DDI-C and DDI-L.
Nonstationary POT modelling of air pollution concentrations: Statistical analysis of the traffic and meteorological impact

description: Predicting the occurrence, level and duration of high air pollution concentrations exceeding a given critical level enables researchers to study the health impact of road traffic on local air quality and to inform public policy action. Precise estimates of the probabilities of occurrence and level of extreme concentrations are formidable due to the combination of complex physical and chemical processes involved. This underpins the need for developing sophisticated extreme value models, in particular allowing for non-stationarity of environmental time series. In this paper, extremes of nitrogen oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO$_2$) and ozone (O$_3$) concentrations are investigated using two models. Model I is based on an extended peaks-over-threshold (POT) approach developed by A. C. Davison and R. L. Smith, whereby the parameters of the underlying generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) are treated as functions of covariates (i.e., traffic and meteorological factors). The new Model II resolves the lack of threshold stability in the Davison--Smith model by constructing a special functional form for the GPD parameters. For each of the models, the effects of trafic and meteorological factors on the frequency and size of extreme values are estimated using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. Finally, appropriate goodness-of-fit tests and model selection criteria confirm that Model II significantly outperforms Model I in estimation and forecasting of extremes.

description: Français: Le deuxième webinaire de la série de webinaires 2022 de l’Alliance CODATA-DDI aura lieu le lundi 13 juin 2022 sur le thème Vive les Métadonnées ! (les bases du DDI en français). Cet atelier a présenté les normes et les produits de l’Alliance DDI pour la collecte, la gestion et la diffusion des données, comme un excellent moyen de répondre aux demandes de données FAIR dans la recherche moderne. DDI fournit une approche fine et indépendante de la plate-forme des métadonnées et de la documentation des données pour les données qui soutiennent la recherche sociale, comportementale et économique, ainsi que la santé publique et les statistiques officielles. De plus en plus, il cherche à optimiser les métadonnées non seulement dans ces domaines, mais aussi pour des ensembles de données intégrés tirés de tout le spectre des données scientifiques. Les normes et les modèles sont à la fois techniques et conceptuels. Cet atelier a donné un aperçu des normes et des produits, ainsi qu’une introduction à leur utilisation. Bien que DDI soit utilisé à l’échelle internationale, il s’agissait du premier atelier organisé par l’Alliance DDI en langue française. Parmi les intervenants figuraient Alina Danciu (Sciences Po, Centre de Données Socio-Politiques – CDSP), Christophe Dzikowski (Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques – INSEE), Simon Hodson (CODATA), Hilde Orten (SIKT) et Nicolas Sauger (Sciences Po, CDSP). Les présentations sont ici et un enregistrement de l’atelier seront bientôt disponibles ici. ============================================ English: The second webinar in the 2022 CODATA-DDI Alliance webinar series will took place on Mon 13 June 2022 on the topic, Vive les Métadonnées! (DDI basics in French). This workshop introduced the standards and products of the DDI Alliance for data collection, management, and dissemination, as an excellent way of meeting the demands for FAIR data in modern research. DDI provides a platform-independent, fine-grained approach to metadata and data documentation for data which supports social, behavioural, and economic research, as well as public health and official statistics. Increasingly, it is looking to optimize metadata not only within these domains, but also for integrated data sets drawn from across the scientific data spectrum. The standards and models are at both technical and conceptual levels. This workshop gave an overview of the standards and products, and an introduction to their use. Although DDI is used internationally, this was the first workshop conducted by the DDI Alliance in the French language. Presenters included Alina Danciu (Sciences Po, Centre de Données Socio-Politiques – CDSP), Christophe Dzikowski (Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques – INSEE), Simon Hodson (CODATA), Hilde Orten (SIKT) and Nicolas Sauger (Sciences Po, CDSP).
Hamiltonian approach to GR - Part 1: covariant theory of classical gravity

description: A challenging issue in General Relativity concerns the determination of the manifestly-covariant continuum Hamiltonian structure underlying the Einstein field equations and the related formulation of the corresponding covariant Hamilton-Jacobi theory. The task is achieved by adopting a synchronous variational principle requiring distinction between the prescribed deterministic metric tensor $\widehat{g}(r)\equiv \left\{ \widehat{g}_{μν}(r)\right\} $ solution of the Einstein field equations which determines the geometry of the background space-time and suitable variational fields $x\equiv \left\{ g,π\right\} $ obeying an appropriate set of continuum Hamilton equations, referred to here as GR-Hamilton equations$.$ It is shown that a prerequisite for reaching such a goal is that of casting the same equations in evolutionary form by means of a Lagrangian parametrization for a suitably-reduced canonical state. As a result, the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi theory is established in manifestly-covariant form. Physical implications of the theory are discussed. These include the investigation of the structural stability of the GR-Hamilton equations with respect to vacuum solutions of the Einstein equations, assuming that wave-like perturbations are governed by the canonical evolution equations.

Equilibration in the Kac Model using the GTW Metric $d_2$
Creators: name: Tossounian, Hagop
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We use the Fourier based Gabetta-Toscani-Wennberg (GTW) metric $d_2$ to study the rate of convergence to equilibrium for the Kac model in $1$ dimension. We take the initial velocity distribution of the particles to be a Borel probability measure $μ$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ that is symmetric in all its variables, has mean $\vec{0}$ and finite second moment. Let $μ_t(dv)$ denote the Kac-evolved distribution at time $t$, and let $R_μ$ be the angular average of $μ$. We give an upper bound to $d_2(μ_t, R_μ)$ of the form $\min\{ B e^{-\frac{4 λ_1}{n+3}t}, d_2(μ,R_μ)\}$, where $λ_1 = \frac{n+2}{2(n-1)}$ is the gap of the Kac model in $L^2$ and $B$ depends only on the second moment of $μ$. We also construct a family of Schwartz probability densities $\{f_0^{(n)}: \mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\}$ with finite second moments that shows practically no decrease in $d_2(f_0(t), R_{f_0})$ for time at least $\frac{1}{2λ}$ with $λ$ the rate of the Kac operator. We also present a propagation of chaos result for the partially thermostated Kac model in [14].

We report on the experimental observation of mode-locked spatial laser solitons in a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with frequency-selective feedback from an external cavity. These spontaneously emerging and long-term stable spatio-temporal structures have a pulse length shorter than the cavity round trip time and may pave the way to completely independent cavity light bullets.

description: Involvement of NOX-dependent oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of metabolic disorders as well as in the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis has been demonstrated previously. In the present study, the metabolic profile in p47phox–/– and WT mice fed on a chow diet was evaluated to assess the role of metabolites in glucose intolerance and dyslipidemia under altered oxidative stress conditions. p47phox–/– mice displayed glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance (IR), hyperinsulinemia, and altered energy homeostasis without any significant change in gluconeogenesis. The expression of genes involved in lipid synthesis and uptake was enhanced in the liver, adipose tissue, and intestine tissues. Similarly, the expression of genes associated with lipid efflux in the liver and intestine was also enhanced. Enhanced gut permeability, inflammation, and shortening of the gut was evident in p47phox–/– mice. Circulating levels of pyrimidines, phosphatidylglycerol lipids, and 3-methyl-2-oxindole were augmented, while level of purine was reduced in the serum. Moreover, the cecal metabolome was also altered, as was evident with the increase in indole-3-acetamide, N-acetyl galactosamine, glycocholate, and a decrease in hippurate, indoxyl sulfate, and indigestible sugars (raffinose and melezitose). Treatment of p47phox–/– mice with pioglitazone, marginally improved glucose intolerance, and dyslipidemia, with an increase in PUFAs (linoleate, docosahexaenoic acid, and arachidonic acid). Overall, the results obtained in p47phox–/– mice indicate an association of IR and dyslipidemia with altered serum and cecal metabolites (both host and bacterial-derived), implying a critical role of NOX-derived ROS in metabolic homeostasis.

description: Some time ago we have derived from the QCD Lagrangian an equation of state (EOS) for the cold quark matter, which can be considered an improved version of the MIT bag model EOS. Compared to the latter, our equation of state reaches higher values of the pressure at comparable baryon densities. This feature is due to perturbative corrections and also to non-perturbative effects. Later we applied this EOS to the study of compact stars, discussing the absolute stability of quark matter and computing the mass-radius relation for self-bound (strange) stars. We found maximum masses of the sequences with more than two solar masses, in agreement with the recent experimental observations. In the present work we include the magnetic field in the equation of state and study how it changes the stability conditions and the mass-radius curves.
Hamiltonian approach to GR - Part 2: covariant theory of quantum gravity

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: A non-perturbative quantum field theory of General Relativity is presented which leads to a new realization of the theory of Covariant Quantum-Gravity (CQG-theory). The treatment is founded on the recently-identified Hamiltonian structure associated with the classical space-time, i.e., the corresponding manifestly-covariant Hamilton equations and the related Hamilton-Jacobi theory. The quantum Hamiltonian operator and the CQG-wave equation for the corresponding CQG-state and wave-function are realized in $% 4-$scalar form. The new quantum wave equation is shown to be equivalent to a set of quantum hydrodynamic equations which warrant the consistency with the classical GR Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the semiclassical limit. A perturbative approximation scheme is developed, which permits the adoption of the harmonic oscillator approximation for the treatment of the Hamiltonian potential. As an application of the theory, the stationary vacuum CQG-wave equation is studied, yielding a stationary equation for the CQG-state in terms of the $4-$scalar invariant-energy eigenvalue associated with the corresponding approximate quantum Hamiltonian operator. The conditions for the existence of a discrete invariant-energy spectrum are pointed out. This yields a possible estimate for the graviton mass together with a new interpretation about the quantum origin of the cosmological constant.

description: The molecular mechanisms underlying the development of pulmonary fibrosis remain unknown, and effective treatments have not yet been developed. It has been shown that oxidative stress is involved in lung fibrosis. Oxidized diacylglycerol (DAG) produced by oxidative stress is thought to play an important role in lung fibrosis. This study assessed the effect of oxidized DAG in an animal model of pulmonary fibrosis induced by aspiration of bleomycin (BLM) into the lungs. The inhibitory effect of ebselen on pulmonary fibrosis was also investigated. In lung fibrotic tissue induced by BLM, an increase in lipid peroxides and collagen accumulation was observed. Moreover, the levels of oxidized DAG, which has strong protein kinase C (PKC) activation activity, were significantly increased over time following the administration of BLM. Western blotting showed that phosphorylation of PKCα and δ isoforms was increased by BLM. Oral administration of ebselen significantly suppressed the increase in oxidized DAG induced by BLM and improved lung fibrosis. PKCα and δ phosphorylation were also significantly inhibited. The mRNA expression of α-smooth muscle actin and collagen I (marker molecules for fibrosis), as well as the production of transforming growth factor-β and tumor necrosis factor-α(a potentially important factor in the fibrotic process), were increased by BLM and significantly decreased by ebselen. The administration of BLM may induce lipid peroxidation in lung tissue, while the oxidized DAG produced by BLM may induce overactivation of PKCα and δ, resulting in the induction of lung fibrosis.

description: The article analyses the concepts of “sovereign” democracy in Russia and “illiberal-Christian” democracy in Hungary, which respectively coincided with the presidencies of Putin and the governments of Orbán. These two experiences show similarities in their conceptualization of illiberal ideas and in the impact they had on institutions and governance. The aim of this work is to investigate Russian and Hungarian illiberal drift, starting from the definition of “sovereign” and “Christian” democracy, focusing on similarities and differences through a comparative perspective.

description: Using the Boolardy Engineering Test Array of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP BETA), we have carried out the first $z = 0 - 1$ survey for HI and OH absorption towards the gravitationally lensed quasars PKSB1830$-$211 and MGJ0414$+$0534. Although we detected all previously reported intervening systems towards PKSB1830$-$211, in the case of MGJ0414+0534 three systems were not found, indicating that the original identifications may have been confused with radio frequency interference. Given the sensitivity of our data, we find that our detection yield is consistent with the expected frequency of intervening HI systems estimated from previous surveys for 21-cm emission in nearby galaxies and $z \sim 3$ damped Lyman $α$ absorbers. We find spectral variability in the $z = 0.886$ face-on spiral galaxy towards PKSB1830$-$211, from observations undertaken with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope in 1997/1998 and ASKAP BETA in 2014/2015. The HI equivalent width varies by a few per cent over approximately yearly time-scales. This long-term spectral variability is correlated between the north-east and south-west images of the core, and with the total flux density of the source, implying that it is observationally coupled to intrinsic changes in the quasar. The absence of any detectable variability in the ratio of HI associated with the two core images is in stark contrast to the behaviour previously seen in the molecular lines. We therefore infer that coherent opaque HI structures in this galaxy are larger than the parsec-scale molecular clouds found at mm-wavelengths.

description: Density functional theory (DFT) at the theoretical M06-2X/6-311G(d,p) level was used to assess thermodynamics and kinetics in the antioxidative action of amentoflavone (AF). The antioxidative HAT pathway (H-atom transfer) is assigned to this compound in gas, but the SPL-ET (sequential proton loss-electron transfer) is the main route in polar solvents methanol and water. In all four mediums gas, benzene, methanol, and water, 4‴-OH is the most active site in free radical quenching with the lowest BDE (bond dissociation enthalpy) values of 81.8–84.8 kcal/mol, as well as it exerted the PA (proton affinity) values of 29.8–33.0 kcal/mol in methanol and water. Regarding kinetics, when interacted with •OOH and •NO2 in gas and methanol, 4‴-OH group is also responsible for the lowest ΔG# values (Gibbs free energy of activation), and the highest rate constant K values. Acidic assessment also indicated that 4‴-OH is associated with the strongest acidity (the lowest pKa). Two favorable oriented 4‴-OH and 7-OH groups further exhibited antioxidative activity since they prevented metal ions Zn2+ and Fe2+ from participating in free radical producing processes, in which the most stable complex [FeAF(H2O)4] generated the lowest IE value of −206.2 kcal/mol, and Egap value of 3.491 kcal/mol, but the highest MIA values of 184.6 kcal/mol in methanol.

description: Iron, an essential element for most of living organisms, participates in many biological functions. Since iron is redox-active transition metal, it is known that excessive levels stimulate the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and exacerbate cytotoxicity. An iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency disorder in the world (about 30% of the population) and is more common than cases of iron overload. However, the effects of iron deficiency on ROS-induced cytotoxicity and the maintenance of intracellular redox homeostasis are not fully understood. The present study reports on an evaluation of the effects of iron deficiency on cytotoxicity induced by several ROS generators. In contrast to hydrogen peroxide and erastin, the cytotoxicity of 2,3-dimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (DMNQ), a redox cycling agent that induces intracellular superoxide anion formation, was exacerbated by iron deficiency. Cytochrome b5 reductase was identified as a candidate enzyme responsible for the redox cycling of DMNQ under conditions of iron depletion. Moreover, the DMNQ-induced intracellular accumulation of ROS and a decrease in NADH/NAD+ ratios were enhanced by an iron deficiency. These negative changes were found to be ameliorated by overexpressing NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) in kidney-derived cells that originally showed a very low expression of NQO1. These results indicate that NQO1 plays a protective role against redox cycling quinone-mediated cytotoxicity under iron-depleted conditions. This is because NQO1 generates less-toxic hydroquinones via the two-electron reduction of quinones. The collective findings reported herein demonstrate that not only an iron overload but also an iron deficiency exacerbates ROS-mediated cytotoxicity.

Imprint of thawing scalar fields on large scale galaxy overdensity

description: We investigate the observed galaxy power spectrum for the thawing class of scalar field models taking into account various general relativistic corrections that occur on very large scales. We consider the full general relativistic perturbation equations for the matter as well as the dark energy fluid. We form a single autonomous system of equations containing both the background and perturbed equations of motion which we subsequently solve for different scalar field potentials. First we study the percentage deviation from $Λ$CDM model for different cosmological parameters as well as in the observed galaxy power spectra on different scales in scalar field models for various choices of scalar field potentials. Interestingly the difference in background expansion results enhancement of power from $Λ$CDM on small scales whereas the inclusion of GR corrections results the suppression of power from $Λ$CDM on large scales. This can be useful to distinguish scalar field models from $Λ$CDM with future optical/radio surveys. We also compare the observed galaxy power spectra for tracking and thawing types of scalar field using some particular choices for the scalar field potentials. We show that thawing and tracking models can have large differences in observed galaxy power spectra on large scales and for smaller redshifts due to different GR effects. But on smaller scales and for larger redshifts, the difference is small and is mainly due to difference in background expansion.

description: This paper explores Noether and Noether gauge symmetries of anisotropic universe model in $f(R,T)$ gravity. We consider two particular models of this gravity and evaluate their symmetry generators as well as associated conserved quantities. We also find exact solution by using cyclic variable and investigate its behavior via cosmological parameters. The behavior of cosmological parameters turns out to be consistent with recent observations which indicates accelerated expansion of the universe. Next we study Noether gauge symmetry and corresponding conserved quantities for both isotropic and anisotropic universe models. We conclude that symmetry generators and the associated conserved quantities appear in all cases.

description: Power spectral density (PSD) maps providing the distribution of RF power across space and frequency are constructed using power measurements collected by a network of low-cost sensors. By introducing linear compression and quantization to a small number of bits, sensor measurements can be communicated to the fusion center with minimal bandwidth requirements. Strengths of data- and model-driven approaches are combined to develop estimators capable of incorporating multiple forms of spectral and propagation prior information while fitting the rapid variations of shadow fading across space. To this end, novel nonparametric and semiparametric formulations are investigated. It is shown that PSD maps can be obtained using support vector machine-type solvers. In addition to batch approaches, an online algorithm attuned to real-time operation is developed. Numerical tests assess the performance of the novel algorithms.
