Scholarly publishing
Self-archiving

description: Series of workshops tailored towards early-career researchers in Luxembourg explaining the publishing process and how Open Access fits in the traditional journal-subscription based model. The idea is to break some of the myths around OA (e.g. OA is a journal, OA is only possible the gold way) by presenting the 'Green' (self-archiving) and 'gold' (paying Article Processing Charges) routes. Some of the benefits are presented, along with the main Luxembourgish funder FNR's mandate.

The presentation uploaded was given to PhDs and post-docs from the Luxembourg Institute of Health on 13/12/2017.

Physics opportunities with SAND apparatus at the DUNE Near Detector complex
Creators: name: Pia, Valerio
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: DUNE is a next-generation, long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. The System for on-Axis Neutrino Detection (SAND) is one of the three Near Detector components, permanently located on-axis. Its primary goals are the monitoring of the beam and the measurement of the neutrino flux, along with a broader physics program including precision measurements of neutrino cross-sections. This will be possible thanks to an inner liquid Argon volume and a modular, low-density target/tracker system which allows precise control over the chemical composition and mass of the (anti)neutrino targets. In this poster, the design and expected physics performance of SAND will be presented.
Bayesian neutrino oscillation analysis with the NOvA experiment
Creators: name: Sztuc, Artur
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: NOvA is a long-baseline, neutrino oscillation experiment that uses accelerator neutrinos to study neutrino interaction and oscillation physics. NOvA measures neutrinos in their unoscillated state with the Near Detector with a 1km baseline, whilst measuring electron neutrino excess and muon neutrino deficit at the Far Detector with a 810km baseline, with both neutrino and anti-neutrino beams. These measurements are used to extract the neutrino oscillation parameters, including the mass ordering, neutrino mixing angles and the CP-violating phase. The latest oscillation results from NOvA were presented at Neutrino2020 using a Frequentist formalism. In this poster we present a framework used to re-analyse the same data, but with Bayesian Inference via Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms. We describe the motivation and technical aspects of Bayesian analysis with Markov Chains in the context of NOvA, together with the Bayesian interpretation.
Search for Solar Atmospheric Neutrinos with IceCube High-Energy Track Data
Creators: name: Roellinghoff, Gerrit
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Cosmic rays striking the solar atmosphere are expected to produce particle showers, which will result in the generation of gamma-rays and neutrinos. Following current evidence for high-energy gamma rays originating from the solar disk, a first search for high-energy neutrinos from the Sun with 7 years (2010-2017) of IceCube data was recently completed, observing no significant signal. We present the results of a new and improved successor search for solar atmospheric neutrinos, making use of an improved likelihood method, a newer high-energy track dataset with additional years and better event reconstruction, leading to a sixfold improvement in sensitivity. We also present a time-dependent look at the flux during the solar minimum, motivated by an observed anti-correlation between solar activity and solar high-energy gamma ray flux during past solar cycles.

title: Die US-Medienpolitik während des Vietnamkrieges
Creators: name: Carbajal, Nathan
Year: 2017

description: Das Thema dieser Arbeit ist die Informationspolitik der US-Regierung zur Zeit des Vietnamkrieges. Von besonderem Interesse sind die medienpolitischen Strategien und Handlungen der damaligen amtierenden US-Präsidenten und deren Beraterstab, um Informationen über den Krieg in Südostasien zu ihrem Vorteil zu nutzen bzw. diese auch zu unterdrücken. Der erste Teil der Arbeit gibt einen geschichtlichen Überblick zur amerikanischen Phase des Vietnamkrieges und setzt sich mit der Wechselbeziehung zwischen Krieg und Medien auseinander. Neben einem Querschnitt über die Medienlandschaft der damaligen Zeit beinhaltet dieser Teil auch allgemeine Hintergrundinformationen zur Profession der Kriegsberichterstatterin und des Kriegsberichterstatters. Der zweite Teil der Arbeit befasst sich schließlich mit der Veränderung der Informationspolitik der damaligen amtierenden Präsidenten Kennedy, Johnson und Nixon. Dabei werden die Konfliktsituationen zwischen der US-Regierung und den Medien anhand von Beispielen aufgezeigt. Der Fokus liegt dabei vor allem auf der Sichtbarmachung der Diskrepanz zwischen der von der Regierung und den Medienvertreterinnen und Medienvertretern veröffentlichten Informationen. Diese Unterschiede werden durch Gegenüberstellungen von offiziellen Verlautbarungen und Zeitungsberichten deutlich gemacht. Dabei ließ sich feststellen, dass die Medienpolitik aller drei Regierungen von Verheimlichungsstrategien geprägt war und verschiedene Formen der Zensur und Informationsunterdrückung ausgeübt wurden.
description: The subject of this paper is the information policy of the US government during the Vietnam war. Of particular interest are the media policy strategies und actions implemented by the acting US presidents and their advisory staff at that time to use information about the war in Southeast Asia to their advantage or to supress it altogether. The first part of the paper provides an historical overview of the American phase of the Vietnam War and deals with the interrelationship between war and the media. In addition to a cross-section on the media landscape at that time, this part oft he paper also contains general background information on the profession of war correspondents. The second part of the paper deals with the change in the information policy of the acting presidents at that time, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon. The conflict situations between the US government and the media are illustrated by examples. The main focus thereby lies on identifying the discrepancy between the information published by the government and the information published by media representatives. These differences are made clear by contrasting the official statements and newspaper reports. It was observed that the media policy of all three governments was characterized by concealment strategies and the various forms of censorship and information suppression were exercised.

Measurement of Nuclear Dependence in Inclusive Antineutrino Scattering with MINERvA
Creators: name: Anežka Klustová
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The MINERvA experiment was designed to perform precision studies of neutrino-nucleus scattering in the GeV regime on various nuclear targets using the high-intensity NuMI beam at Fermilab. This poster outlines the current progress on MINERvA's first inclusive charged-current analysis of antineutrino interactions on iron, lead, and water using antineutrino energy and Bjorken x. The interactions on carbon and hydrocarbon are also reported. The results use data produced in the NuMI beamline with antineutrino beam peak energy of approximately 6 GeV taken from 2016 to 2019. The measurements utilize events of energies 2 < E < 50 GeV. The event selection and the background prediction related to the complex structure of the target region and machine-learning reconstruction of the interaction vertex are presented. The importance of the Bjorken x variable to investigate nuclear modifications and the challenges of unfolding in x are discussed. The analysis will provide high-statistics, self-contained studies of nuclear effects and nuclear dependence, and comparisons to the current neutrino interaction generators such as GENIE.
Why people think they procrastinate? A study on adults from Buenos Aires with the General Procrastination Scale

Publisher: name: Psychology Hub
Year: 2024

description: Procrastination is a common behavior involving the deliberate postponement of tasks, even when one foresees negative consequences. This behavior is also influenced by a person's mindset and beliefs, including views on success, failure, self-worth, instant gratification, and task importance. The aim of this study was to adapt and validate the General Procrastination Scale (GPS) to Argentinean population and explore the primary reasons people believe lead to procrastination. A total of 276 adults (52% females, 45% males, and 3% non-binary) (Mage = 32.64, SD = 11.34) took part in an online questionnaire-based study. A series of Confirmatory factor analysis resulted in a good fit for a single-factor model (χ2/df = 1.58, CFI = 0.98, TLI = 0.98, RMSEA [CI 95%] = 0.05 [0.04, 0.06], SRMR = 0.07) with an adequate internal consistency (Omega = 0.88 [95% CI = 0.86, 0.90], Cronbach´s α = 0.89). Chi-square tests revealed significant associations between demographic data and procrastination reasons. Additionally, trait procrastination was higher in participants that agreed on feeling overwhelmed, fearing of failure and unpreparedness, poor time management skills, boredom and lack of motivation as reason to procrastinate. These findings have relevant practical implications, particularly in assessing trait procrastination. Exploring the reasons behind task delay enhances our understanding of the causes, offering valuable insights for developing effective interventions and treatments tailored to individual needs.

Tetraneuromyia discrepans

description: Tetraneuromyia discrepans sp. nov.
Figs 35, 39
This new Tetraneuromyia is represented in our study material by a single male, which we do not hesitate to describe here as it is both distinctive and well-prepared.
Diagnosis. The tegmen of T. discrepans has a single pair of dagger-shaped processes, whose bases are broadened to form short, subtriangular lobes (Fig. 39, ↓ 5). Other Tetraneuromyia with only one pair of tegminal processes are T. wilksae Jaschhof & Jaschhof, 2015 and T. lapponica sp. nov., a species described below, but there the processes are different in shape and orientation, and their bases are blunt-ended and elongated. Another distinction concerns the gonocoxae: gonocoxal processes are absent in T. discrepans, but are present in both T. wilksae and T. lapponica.
Other male characters. Body size 1.8 mm. Head. Eye bridge 0–1 ommatidium long dorsally. Scape and pedicel concolorous with flagellum. Neck of fourth flagellomere 1.4 times as long as node (Fig. 35). Circumfila occasionally with short, indistinct posterior extensions. Thorax. Anepisternum asetose. Wing 2.8 times longer than wide. M 1+2 absent. Genitalia (Fig. 39). Posterior edge of ninth tergite slightly concave. Gonocoxae sparsely setose ventrally; ventral emargination broadly U-shaped, sclerotized basally; apodemes slightly angled posteriorly. Gonostylus blunt-ended, apex bent slightly inwards, without any modification. Tegmen strongly constricted medially. Ejaculatory apodeme moderately thick, unmodified except for a funnel-shaped, membranous apex.
Etymology. The species name, discrepans, is a Latin adjective meaning differing, with reference to the genitalic structures that are less complex than in other Tetraneuromyia.
Type material. Holotype. Male, Sweden, Öland, Borgholm, Rönnerum-Abbantorp Nature Reserve, small bushy fen in broadleaf forest, 22 August–30 September 2015, Malaise trap, M. & C. Jaschhof (spm. no. CEC 1512 in NHRS).

title: A combined subcellular proteomics and lipidomics approach to evaluate the influence of EGCG on LPS induced inflammation in U937 monocytes
Creators: name: Kaminsky, Michael
Year: 2017

description: Nach koronaren Herzkranzgefäßerkrankungen ist Krebs die zweithäufigste Todesursache, sowohl in Österreich als auch weltweit. Krebs ist der Sammelbegriff für eine große Gruppe ähnlicher Krankheiten, bei denen sich gesunde Körperzellen in Tumorzellen mit unkontrollierbarem Wachstum umwandeln. Krebs ist eng verbunden mit oxidativem Stress und Entzündungen, vor allem chronischen Entzündungen. Karzinogenese ist ein mehrstufiger Prozess, der auf jeder Stufe beeinflusst werden kann. Vor allem sekundäre Pflanzeninhaltsstoffe wie Epigallocatechin-3-gallat (EGCG), welches hauptsächlich im Grüntee vorkommt, scheinen ein hohes Potenzial aufzuweisen, in die Karzinogenese einzugreifen. Das Ziel dieser Studie war es, einen kombinierten Ansatz aus Proteomics und Lipidomics zu verwenden, um den Einfluss von EGCG auf LPS indizierte Entzündung in U937 Monozyten zu untersuchen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie zeigen, dass die Indizierung von Entzündung in U937 Monozyten durch LPS sehr gut funktioniert hat, aber EGCG diese Effekte nur teilweise modulierte und EGCG alleine keinen signifikanten Effekt zeigte.
description: Next to coronary heart diseases cancer is the second leading cause of death in Austria and worldwide. Cancer is the common them for a large group of related diseases, where healthy body cells transform into tumor cells with uncontrolled growth. Cancer is closely related to oxidative stress and inflammation, especially chronic inflammation. Carcinogenesis is a multistage process, which can be influenced at each step. Especially phytochemicals like Epigallocatechin-3-gallat (EGCG), which is found mainly in green tea, seem to have a high potential to modulate the process of carcinogenesis. The aim of this study was to use a combined proteomics and lipidomics approach to investigate the influence of EGCG on LPS induced inflammation in U937 monocytes. The results of this study demonstrate, that the induction of inflammation in U937 monocytes with LPS was successful, but the LPS induced effects were only partially modulated with EGCG and EGCG alone showed no significant effect.

Selection of muon neutrino charged-current interactions with improved acceptance in the T2K off-axis near detector
Creators: name: Yongheng Xu
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The Tokai-to-Kamiokande (T2K) experiment is a Japan-based long-baseline neutrino experiment aimed at measuring neutrino oscillation parameters, and limiting the CP violation phase angle δCP . T2K has two main detector suites: the near detectors INGRID and ND280 that are designed to characterize the (anti)neutrino beam and measure interaction cross-sections, and the far detec- tor Super-Kamiokande (SK), which compares the incoming neutrino distribu- tion with model predictions in order to constrain the oscillation parameters. The current selection of muon neutrino charged-current interactions at ND280 employed for the oscillation analysis, only selects events with final-state forward- going muons. However, in the SK event selection there is no such angular re- quirement. In this poster, we propose a new selection to enlarge the angular acceptance to the full solid angle. Such improvement is possible by utilizing the Time-of-Flight (ToF), which is crucial to determining track directions, and Electromagnetic CALorimeters (ECAL), which plays a key role in reconstructing high-angle tracks that do not go through one of the time-projection chambers of ND280. This selection also features splitting according to proton and photon multiplicity to help constraining hardonic final states. Introducing such samples to the ND280 measurements will add many interesting neutrino interaction events to the sample, improve our constraining power on neutrino interaction model parameters, enhance comparison between ND280 data and SK data, and eventually reduce further the systematic uncer- tainties on the neutrino oscillation parameters.

Figs 36–38, 40
Diagnosis. Tetraneuromyia lapponica belongs to a subgroup of Tetraneuromyia with distinct gonocoxal processes bordering a small, U-shaped emargination (Fig. 38, ↓ 6); the other species belonging here are T. lenticularis, T. moldaviensis (Spungis, 1987), and T. wilksae. Each of these species has a distinctive tegmen, which in T. lapponica is structured as follows. The apex is made of two long, pointed processes, whose orientation is to the posterior end but with a slight bend to the ventral side; the process bases are blunt-ended, somewhat elongated and slightly bent ventrally (Fig. 40, ↓ 7); and the central trunk has a conspicuous, ovoid sclerotization dorsally (Fig. 40, ↓ 8). Female and larva of T. lapponica are unknown.
Other male characters. Body size 1.3–1.5 mm. Head. Eye bridge 1 ommatidium long dorsally. Scape and pedicel concolorous with flagellum. Neck of fourth flagellomere 1.9–2.1 times as long as node (Fig. 36). Circumfila occasionally with posterior extensions of varying lengths. Thorax. Anepisternum asetose.

description: The recently discovered peculiar gamma-ray burst GRB 200826A poses a dilemma for the collapsar model. Although all other characteristics of the burst are consistent with it being a Type II (i.e., collapse of a massive star) event, the observed duration of the event is only approximately 1 s, which is at odds with the predicted allowable timescale range for a collapsar event. To resolve this dilemma, this {\it Letter} proposes that the original burst could be an intrinsically long GRB comprising of a precursor and a main emission (ME) phase. However, the main emission phase is missed due to either precession of the jet or the obstruction of a companion star, leaving only the precursor observed as a short-duration GRB 200826A. Interestingly, we found that the temporal and spectral properties of GRB 200826A broadly resembled those of the bright precursor observed in GRB 160625B. Furthermore, assuming the prototype burst of GRB 200826A is similar to that of GRB 160625B, we found that the observer may indeed miss its main emission because of geometric effects caused either by jet precession or companion-obstruction models. Our approach provides a natural explanation for the GRB 200826A-like bursts and agrees with the rarity of those events.

title: Access to the regional human rights courts in America and Europe
Creators: name: Chocano, Bedoya Vanessa Del Socorro
Year: 2017

description: Die vorliegende Forschung vergleicht den Zugang von Einzelpersonen zu dem europäischen und dem interamerikanischen Gerichtshof für Menschenrechte. Die Effizienz der beiden regionalen Schutzmechanismen der Menschenrechte wird unter Berücksichtigung von Verfahrensaspekten bewertet, die das Spektrum des Schutzes beider Gerichte und den effektiven Zugang von Personen zu ihnen bestimmen. Die Hintergründe beider Gerichtshöfe werden in dieser Dissertation verglichen, einschließlich ihres Anfangs, der Entwicklungen im Laufe der Zeit und der wichtigsten anstehenden Reformvorschläge, sowie ihrer derzeitigen Zulässigkeitskriterien. Es stellt sich heraus, dass beide regionalen Menschenrechtsschutzsysteme im Laufe der Zeit große Fortschritte gemacht haben. Die letzten Reformen zeigen jedoch eine Tendenz, den bereits vorgesehenen Zugang zu den regionalen Schutzmechanismen der Menschenrechte zu beschränken. Diese Forschungsarbeit macht Vorschläge für beide Systeme, insbesondere bezüglich der Rolle, die die Interamerikanische Menschenrechtskommission haben sollte, wenn das Recht auf individuelle Petition im interamerikanischen System gewährt wird. Die vorgeschlagene Vorgangsweise basiert auf den Lehren aus früheren Erfahrungen. Während die Erfahrungen beider Gerichtshöfe miteinander verglichen werden, um zu ermitteln, was ein Gericht von dem anderen lernen kann, berücksichtigen die Vorschläge dieser Forschung die Unterschiede in den Realitäten der Regionen.
description: The present research compares the access of individuals to the European and Inter-American human rights courts. The efficiency of both human rights regional protection mechanisms is evaluated by taking into consideration procedural aspects that determine the spectrum of protection of both Courts and the effective access of individuals to them. The antecedents of both Courts are compared in this dissertation, including their beginning, developments over time and main pending reform proposals, as well as their current admissibility criteria. It stands out that both regional human rights protection systems have made major advances over time; however, the latest reforms show a tendency to restrict the access to the human rights regional protection mechanisms that has already been provided. The present research work makes proposals with respect to both systems, particularly regarding the role that the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights should have if the right of individual petition is granted in the Inter-American System. The proposals made are based on lessons to be learned from previous experiences, and while the experiences of both Courts are compared to identify what can one Court learn from the other, the proposals of the present research take into consideration the differences in the realities of the regions.

description: O hímen imperfurado é uma das anomalias congénitas mais frequentes do aparelho genital. É constituído por uma membrana que obstrui a abertura vaginal ao nível do intróito. Apresenta-se o caso duma adolescente de treze anos, com quadro de dor abdominal, retenção urinária e náuseas. No exame objectivo, palpava-se uma formação arredondada, que ocupava todo o hipogastro; e a ecografia abdomino-pélvica mostrou colecção líquida compatível com hematocolpos e hematométrio. A posterior observação dos genitais externos confirmou a existência de hímen imperfurado. A evolução foi favorável após realização de himeniotomia. O diagnóstico do hímen imperfurado é feito pela correcta observação dos genitais externos. Esta situação pode passar despercebida até à adolescência, altura em que surgem complicações como a amenorreia primária, o hematocolpos, o hematométrio e o hematossalpinge.

description: Understanding how feature learning affects generalization is among the foremost goals of modern deep learning theory. Here, we study how the ability to learn representations affects the generalization performance of a simple class of models: deep Bayesian linear neural networks trained on unstructured Gaussian data. By comparing deep random feature models to deep networks in which all layers are trained, we provide a detailed characterization of the interplay between width, depth, data density, and prior mismatch. We show that both models display sample-wise double-descent behavior in the presence of label noise. Random feature models can also display model-wise double-descent if there are narrow bottleneck layers, while deep networks do not show these divergences. Random feature models can have particular widths that are optimal for generalization at a given data density, while making neural networks as wide or as narrow as possible is always optimal. Moreover, we show that the leading-order correction to the kernel-limit learning curve cannot distinguish between random feature models and deep networks in which all layers are trained. Taken together, our findings begin to elucidate how architectural details affect generalization performance in this simple class of deep regression models.

Data analysis in the ICARUS (SBN FD) Cosmic Ray Tagging system
Creators: name: Heggestuen, Anna
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: When a cosmic ray particle collides with the upper atmosphere, it creates a shower of particles that transverse down to the Earth’s surface. These cosmogenic particles provide a challenging background in neutrino experiments. The Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) Program is composed of three Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs) that will help us understand the elusive neutrino. Together with a Cosmic Ray Tagger (CRT) system, the ICARUS detector serves as the Far Detector in the SBN Program. The CRT surrounds the detector medium and tags incoming particles allowing us to combat the high flux of comic rays we experience at ICARUS. In this poster, I will show some of the first data analyses done with the fully commissioned CRT system, including studies using CRT timing information and CRT hit reconstruction.

The valuation of benefits and costs of flood control measures
Creators: name: Price, Reginald Carrier
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis has been undertaken with the three following purposes in mind: (1) the exploration of factors which may contribute to or impede the establishment of conditions of comparability for the comparison of benefits and costs of proposed flood control measures; (2) the identification of certain questionable practices which occur in some current flood control reports; (3) the investigation of a scale of social value which might serve as an advantageous alternative to the prevalent market value scale for use in measuring benefits and costs. Recurrent throughout has been the intent to contribute something to our knowledge of the most acceptable practices and procedures to be employed in reaching a logical conclusion to the question: within what limits is the nation justified in devoting its money, labor, and materials to the prosecution of measures aimed at minimizing the unfavorable affects of flood flows on the local and national economy?
