From Data Citation to Scholarly Impact: Marking a Path and Clearing a Way for Access and Analysis
Creators: name: Hilliker, Robert J.

Subjects: Information science

description: Starting from Mooney and Newton’s work on data citation (http://dx.doi.org/10.7710/2162-3309.1035) we decided to examine what happens to a data set after it is set on its path as a piece of scholarly communication. Briefly reviewing a selection of datasets, repositories, and platforms we found an uneven application of commonly accepted standards. Although guides for repositories such as Dryad or identifier registrars such as DataCite recommend inclusion of the key elements of Author, Title, Published date, and Publisher, there are two notable trends: to leave off the Material designator, leading to confusion when differentiating between data sets, and other data publications, and articles; and to unify the Electronic retrieval location and Persistent identifier. To encourage scholars to develop and cite data, consistent practices must be promulgated for data citation and indexing.

Some problems in testing provenance with special reference to the co-operative Douglas-fir provenance test at the University of British Columbia Research Forest
Creators: name: Reuter, Franz
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Importance of research on the provenance problem, which is basically one of seed transfer from collection site to outplanting area, is discussed with special emphasis on coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco var. menziesii). The "Co-operative Douglas-fir provenance test," begun in 1957 and involving sixteen coastal seed sources from British Columbia, Washington and Oregon, is described in detail. Height measurements collected at the University of British Columbia Research Forest, when the trees were eleven years old, are analysed and the results are discussed. Due to site heterogeneity and young age of the Co-operative test, no significant height growth differences between provenances can be shown, although the local seed source, from the University of British Columbia Research Forest, seems to be the fastest growing and the southernmost origin, Butte Falls, the slowest of all provenances investigated. The Co-operative test is critically evaluated and specifications for further studies are recommended.

description: The Yuan-Tseh Lee Array for Microwave Background Anisotropy (AMiBA) is the first interferometer dedicated to studying the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation at 3mm wavelength. The choice of 3mm was made to minimize the contributions from foreground synchrotron radiation and Galactic dust emission. The initial configuration of seven 0.6m telescopes mounted on a 6-m hexapod platform was dedicated in October 2006 on Mauna Loa, Hawaii. Scientific operations began with the detection of a number of clusters of galaxies via the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. We compare our data with Subaru weak lensing data in order to study the structure of dark matter. We also compare our data with X-ray data in order to derive the Hubble constant.

description: We investigate magnetic excitations in the spin-ladder compound Sr$_{14}$Cu$_{24}$O$_{41}$ using high-resolution Cu $L_3$-edge Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS). Our findings demonstrate that RIXS couples to collective spin excitations from a quantum spin-liquid ground state. In contrast to Inelastic Neutron Scattering (INS), the RIXS cross section changes only moderately over the entire Brillouin Zone (BZ), revealing a high sensitivity also at small momentum transfers. The two-triplon energy gap is found to be $100\pm 30$ meV. Our results are supported by calculations within an effective Hubbard model for a finite-size cluster.

The Role of Assistive Technology in the Lives of Former Long-term Nursing Home Residents
Creators: name: Lee, Fani
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Despite legislative reforms addressing institutionalized living, people with disabilities transitioning from long-term nursing home residence to the community are not guaranteed successful outcomes. Assistive technology (AT) has been recognized as a tool that contributes to increased participation and quality of life of people with disabilities and, therefore, holds potential as a key contributor to community living. However, the lack of outcome studies examining factors that impact quality of life and participation among former long-term nursing home residents is particularly detrimental for AT users because misidentification of the factors influencing community living puts this population at risk for re-institutionalization. The purpose of this study was to bring forth the viewpoints and experiences of AT users who have moved from nursing homes to the community under Illinois’ Colbert Consent Decree to better understand the factors that facilitate and/or impede participation and quality of life within the context of community living. This study utilized an explanatory sequential mixed method design where quantitative survey results were explained by qualitative semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data collection was conducted using two standardized instruments: 1) the Impact on Participation and Autonomy and 2) the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief form and the Disabilities module. A convenience sample of 347 Colbert class members who received AT between January 2015 and May 2020, from the UIC Assistive Technology Unit were invited to participate in the study, resulting in a total of 41 survey respondents. Fourteen purposively selected individuals participated in the interviews. Quantitative results demonstrated that physical health perceptions, environmental satisfaction, transportation quantity, disability quantity, and inclusion were significantly associated with participation and quality of life outcomes. Qualitative findings highlighted the correlation between participation and quality of life; described the importance of individual-level factors, activities with meaningful outcomes, AT, and context (i.e., environment, resources, and positive relationships) in influencing participation and quality of life; and identified person-centered transition planning and respect of lived experience as cornerstones to long-term community living and well-being. Results of this study can inform future scholarship, practice, and policy towards improving the community living outcomes of former long-term nursing home residents using AT.

description: We consider a black hole solution with a non-trivial dilaton from IIB super gravity which is expected to describe a strongly coupled hot gauge plasma with non-vanishing gluon condensation present. We construct a rotating and moving baryon to probe the screening and phases of the plasma. Melting of the baryons in hot plasma in this background had been studied previously, however, we show that baryons melt much lower temperature than has been suggested previously.

Analyzing Data Citations to Assess the Scientific and Societal Value of Scientific Data

description: Stakeholders in the creation, distribution, support, funding, and use of scientific data can benefit by assessing the value that the data have for society and science. For decades, the scientific community has used citations of articles in the published scientific literature as one of the primary measures for evaluating the performance and productivity of scientists, departments, institutions, and scientific disciplines. Similarly, citations of scientific data in the published literature may be useful for tracking and comparing the value of the scientific data and the contributions of individuals, projects, programs, and organizations to the data’s development and use. Citation analysis can contribute to planning for future data collection, development, distribution, and preservation efforts. The release of new data citation indexes and more widespread adoption of unique data identifiers and automated attribution mechanisms have the potential to improve significantly the capabilities for analyzing citations of scientific data. In addition, ongoing developments in the systems and capabilities for disseminating data, along with education and workforce training on the importance of data attribution and on techniques for data citation, can improve practices for citing scientific data. Such practices need to lead not only to better aggregate statistics about data citation, but also to improved characterization and understanding of the impact of data use with respect to the benefits for science and society. Analyses of citations in the scientific literature were conducted for data that were distributed by an interdisciplinary scientific data center during a five-year period (1997–2011), to identify the scientific fields represented by the journals and books in which the data were cited. Secondary citation analysis also was conducted for a sample of scientific publications that used the data extensively to identify the potential impact of the data on the scientific fields represented by those journals. Furthermore, an initial analysis was conducted of citations that appeared in non-peer-reviewed publications and the popular media to assess the potential policy and educational impacts of these data. The initial results of these analyses demonstrate the significant challenges that remain for consistent, quantitative assessment of the value of scientific data to both science and society.

A method for reconstructing the variance of a 3D physical field from 2D observations: Application to turbulence in the ISM

description: We introduce and test an expression for calculating the variance of a physical field in three dimensions using only information contained in the two-dimensional projection of the field. The method is general but assumes statistical isotropy. To test the method we apply it to numerical simulations of hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in molecular clouds, and demonstrate that it can recover the 3D normalised density variance with ~10% accuracy if the assumption of isotropy is valid. We show that the assumption of isotropy breaks down at low sonic Mach number if the turbulence is sub-Alfvenic. Theoretical predictions suggest that the 3D density variance should increase proportionally to the square of the Mach number of the turbulence. Application of our method will allow this prediction to be tested observationally and therefore constrain a large body of analytic models of star formation that rely on it.

An integrated system for the estimation of tree taper and volume
Creators: name: Demaerschalk, Julien Pierre
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A new taper equation is presented, log d = b₀ + b₁ log D + b₂ log 1 + b₃ log H where d is the diameter inside bark in inches at any given 1 in feet,D is the diameter breast height outside bark in inches, 1 is the distance from the tip of the tree in feet,H is the total height of the tree in feet and b₀,b₁,b₂ and b₃ are the regression coefficients. Two methods of deriving a compatible system of tree taper and volume equations are discussed.One method involves conversion of the logarithmic taper equation into a logarithmic volume equation.The other involves the derivation of the logarithmic taper equation from an existing logarithmic volume equation to provide compatabllity in volume estimation and at the same time ensure as a good fit as possible for the estimation of upper bole diameters (taper). Tests for precision and bias of volume estimates, carried out on the British Columbia Forest Service taper curves and logarithmic volume equations,indicate that the latter approach is preferable to the former.
Artefact

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This project investigates furniture design, focussing especially upon that for serial production. This necessitates a balance between aesthetics and manufacturing imperatives where the need for economical production has to be reconciled with the need for the pieces to be well able to endure sustained use. As a consequence, the designs have to be predicated upon soundengineering principles. To achieve the ideal of an art and physics synthesis, this body of research inquires into the models and concepts that are offered to us from natural solutions and the subsequent engineering solutions they suggest. In chapter one, I discuss significant background influences, being a preoccupation with music and the seemingly remote activity of sailing. I argue that both these activities are physical and that in fact they are quite sympathetic. Their influence is formative and automatic. Also discussed in the first chapter are a number of significant earlier designs. The works offered in my submission are described in chapter two. While all the objects are related, they are categorised in several groups where, by logic, they form a part of a closer family. The design rationale for each work is discussed and one in particular, the Dechaineux Theatre Lectern, is singled out to explain the process of design and construction for that work but it is indicative of the kind of process that all the pieces have undergone. Further, there is a brief description of significant related works that are not central to the project. Chapter three focuses upon three areas of inquiry. Unlike, the automatic or subconscious background influences described in chapter one, these are at the forefront of my mind. I describe my interest in the universal ideals of proportion, ratio, number and also music. The second area is that of the engineer, how structures are made and the principles that make them a success while the third area deals with the issue of sustainable design. In chapter four, I explain how the three areas of inquiry find expression in my work. In doing so I place this project within an 'ideas' context rather than a stylistic context. The conclusion documents outcomes and the progress of a number of the designs from my submission that are either being manufactured or are planned for manufacture. The potential influence that this project is having with furniture manufacturing in Tasmania is discussed as well as indications for future directions.

The M_bh-sigma diagram, and the offset nature of barred active galaxies

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: From a sample of 50 predominantly inactive galaxies with direct supermassive black hole mass measurements, it has recently been established that barred galaxies tend to reside rightward of the M_bh-sigma relation defined by non-barred galaxies. Either black holes in barred galaxies tend to be anaemic or the central velocity dispersions in these galaxies have a tendency to be elevated by the presence of the bar. The latter option is in accord with studies connecting larger velocity dispersions in galaxies with old bars, while the former scenario is at odds with the observation that barred galaxies do not deviate from the M_bh-luminosity relation. Using a sample of 88 galaxies with active galactic nuclei, whose supermassive black hole masses have been estimated from their associated emission lines, we reveal for the first time that they also display this same general behavior in the M_bh-sigma diagram depending on the presence of a bar or not. A new symmetrical and non-symmetrical "barless" M_bh-sigma relation is derived using 82 non-barred galaxies. The barred galaxies are shown to reside on or up to ~1 dex below this relation. This may explain why narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies appear offset from the "barless" M_bh-sigma relation, and has far reaching implications given that over half of the disk galaxy population are barred.

description: We study the Sudakov form factor for a spontaneously broken gauge theory using a (new) Delta -regulator. To be well-defined, the effective theory requires zero-bin subtractions for the collinear sectors. The zero-bin subtractions depend on the gauge boson mass M and are not scaleless. They have both finite and 1/epsilon contributions, and are needed to give the correct anomalous dimension and low-scale matching contributions. We also demonstrate the necessity of zero-bin subtractions for soft-collinear factorization. We find that after zero-bin subtractions the form factor is the sum of the collinear contributions 'minus' a soft mass-mode contribution, in agreement with a previous result of Idilbi and Mehen in QCD. This appears to conflict with the method-of-regions approach, where one gets the sum of contributions from different regions.

Comparison of physical fitness and physical fitness development between deaf and hearing children
Creators: name: Kinsey, William Joseph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study attempted to determine whether or not there was a difference in the physical fitness or in the developmental change of physical fitness between deaf and hearing children. Five deaf subjects of each sex were randomly chosen from each age group (7, 9, 11, 13, and 15) from the deaf population who had no major physical or health difficulties at Jericho Hill School for the Deaf, Vancouver, B.C. Hearing subjects (10 in each age group and sex for statistical purposes) represented the population of general Canadian school-age children who did not have any major physical or health defects. Deaf subjects were administered the CAHPER Fitness-Performance Test which is composed of 6 tests (one minute speed sit-ups, shuttle run, standing broad jump, flexed arm hang, 50 yard run, and 300 yard run) and the CAHPER Physical Work Capacity Test. The results indicated no significant difference between the deaf and hearing in over all physical fitness with the exception of sit-ups and shuttle run nor in the developmental change of physical fitness. The deaf children were superior in the sit-ups but inferior in the shuttle run as compared with hearing children. Possible causes of these differences were discussed.

In the undoped single crystals a single relaxation process is observed, showing a remarkable critical slowing down of the QP relaxation dynamics at the SDW transition temperature T_{SDW}\simeq125{K}. In the superconducting (SC) crystals multiple relaxation processes are present, with distinct SC state quasiparticle recombination dynamics exhibiting a BCS-like T-dependent superconducting gap, and a pseudogap (PG)-like feature with an onset above 180K indicating the existence of a pseudogap of magnitude 2Δ_{\mathrm{PG}}\simeq120 meV above T_{\mathrm{c}}. From the pump-photon energy dependence we conclude that the SC state and PG relaxation channels are independent, implying the presence of two separate electronic subsystems. We discuss the data in terms of spatial inhomogeneity and multi-band scenarios, finding that the latter is more consistent with the present data.

description: The simplicity of single-molecule junctions based on direct bonding of a small molecule between two metallic electrodes make them an ideal system for the study of fundamental questions related to molecular electronics. Here we study the conductance properties of six different molecules suspended between Pt electrodes. All the molecular junctions show a typical conductance of about 1G0 which is ascribed to the dominant role of the Pt contacts. However, despite the metallic-like conductivity, the individual molecular signature is well-expressed by the effect of molecular vibrations in the inelastic contribution to the conductance.

description: Recent observatons of high-energy positrons and electrons by the PAMELA and ATIC experiments may be an indication of the annihilation of dark matter into leptons and not quarks. This leptonic connection was foreseen already some years ago in two different models of radiative neutrino mass. We discuss here the generic interactions (nu eta^0 - l eta^+) chi and l^c zeta^- chi^c which allow this to happen, where chi and/or chi^c are fermionic dark-matter candidates. We point out in particular the importance of chi chi to l^+ l^- gamma to both positron and gamma-ray signals within this framework.

An interpretive, paradigmatic, and comparative analysis of Canadian and Australian green parties
Creators: name: Boston, FTH
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: Green parties have acquired political influence in Australia, and more recently, Canada. Specifically, Australia has federal and state Green parliamentarians, while polling data demonstrates that since 1991, Canadian Greens have, taken together, increased their share of the popular vote. Notwithstanding their electoral successes, the two countries' Green parties have also had a notable effect on the public's conception of environmental issues. To date, however, there has been barely any examination of the paradigm, or more specifically, the beliefs of the federal and state/provincial Canadian and Australian Greens, let alone a comparative analysis of the two countries' set of Green parties. Hence, I provide a paradigmatic, comparative analysis of the Green parties of Canada and Australia, most substantially, via the interpretive approach which identifies the ethnographic writer/researcher as, on balance, a part of and not entirely removed from the research study (hence, the use of the word 'I' throughout the dissertation). I argue that the recent scholarly publications detailing the nature of the Australian and Canadian Greens do not offer a paradigmatic examination or comparative analysis of the two countries' Green parties, and accordingly, I attempt to fill this gap in the literature. Moreover, I ask if the Greens of Australia and Canada share similar or different paradigmatic positions. My findings reveal that the two countries' Green parties share a common belief system, and to varying degrees all value, for instance, environmental protection, social justice, interdependence, diversity, and nonviolence. This said, I offer three notable differences. Several of the Australian Green parties advocate plantation forestry, which is in direct contrast to the philosophy of ecoforestry ‚ÄövÑvÆ an ecosystem-based interpretation of forestry advocated by most if not all of Canada's Greens. Together, the Green parties of Australia recognise the relationship between physical activity, health, and societal well-being more often than their Canadian counterparts. Generally speaking, Canada's Greens lean towards principle-based politics (though, the Newfoundland Green Party is somewhat of an exception), while Australia's Greens tend to embrace constituency-based politics.

description: The problem of supercurrent in superconducting graphene is revisited and the supercurrent is calculated within the mean-field model employing the two-component wave functions on a honeycomb lattice with pairing between different valleys in the Brillouin zone. We show that the supercurrent within the linear approximation in the order-parameter-phase gradient is always finite even if the doping level is exactly zero.

description: We report on low-temperature electronic transport measurements of a silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor quantum dot, with independent gate control of electron densities in the leads and the quantum dot island. This architecture allows the dot energy levels to be probed without affecting the electron density in the leads, and vice versa. Appropriate gate biasing enables the dot occupancy to be reduced to the single-electron level, as evidenced by magnetospectroscopy measurements of the ground state of the first two charge transitions. Independent gate control of the electron reservoirs also enables discrimination between excited states of the dot and density of states modulations in the leads.

Linear and nonlinear progressive Rossby waves on a rotating sphere
Creators: name: Callaghan, TG
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: We present an analysis of incompressible and compressible flow of a thin layer of fluid with a free-surface on a rotating sphere. Our general aim is to investigate the nature of progressive Rossby wave structures that are possible in this rotating system, with the goal of expanding previous research by conducting an in-depth analysis of wavespeed/amplitude relationships. A linearized theory for the incompressible dynamics, closely related to the theory developed by B. Haurwitz, is constructed, with good agreement observed between the two separate models. This result is then extended to the numerical solution of the full model, to obtain highly nonlinear large-amplitude progressive-wave solutions in the form of Fourier series. A detailed picture is developed of how the progressive wavespeed depends on the wave amplitude. This approach reveals the presence of nonlinear resonance behaviour, with different disjoint solution branches existing at different values of the amplitude. Additionally, we show that the formation of localised low pressure systems is an inherent feature of the nonlinear dynamics, once the forcing amplitude reaches a certain critical level. We then derive a new free-surface model for compressible fluid dynamics and repeat the above analysis by first constructing a linearized solution and then using this to guide the computation of nonlinear solutions via a bootstrapping process. It is shown that if the value of the pressure on the free-surface is assumed to be zero, which is consistent with the concept of the atmosphere terminating, then the model almost reduces to the incompressible dynamics with the only difference being a slightly modified conservation of mass equation. By forcing wave amplitude in the model we show that the resonant behaviour observed in the incompressible dynamics is again encountered in the compressible model. The effect of the compressibility is observed to become apparent through damped resonance behaviour in general, so that in some instances two neighbouring disjoint solution branches from the incompressible dynamics are seen to merge into one continuous solution branch when compressible dynamics are incorporated. In closing, some conjectures are made as to how these results might help explain certain observed atmospheric phenomena. In particular it is conjectured that the process of atmospheric blocking is a direct result of critically forced stationary Rossby waves.

When citing data, what thing are you actually citing?

Subjects: Information science

description: When citing data, what thing are you actually citing? In particular, when a data identifier "like a DOI" is included in the citation, what, exactly, does that identifier actually denote? The trivial answer "that data" will not help us understand the practical implications of assigning identifiers to scientific products and evolve identifier systems that support data sharing, linked open data, and service oriented architectures. Identifiers included in citations often function as citable locators (Duerr et al., 2011), supporting discoverability, retrieval, and access: "such an identifier should lead readers at any time in the future to the exact data used in the work that led to the publication" (Duerr et al., 2011). This works reasonably well in communities with shared practices and expectations. But it leaves open a precise understanding of what sort of thing it is that we are being lead to, or, how we can interpret an identifier as referring to a thing rather than leading us to it. For instance, when the same data is made available in different encoding formats, what is the actual thing identifiers denote? And what is the expected outcome of their resolution? Drawing from previous work conducted by the Data Conservancy Data Concepts group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Renear et al., 2010, Sacchi et al., 2011, Sacchi et al., 2012, Wickett et al., 2012), this poster is intended to engage the data curation community in a discussion of how we might begin an approach to this problem by assigning identifiers at different levels of abstraction. To initiate this discussion we propose three major levels: (a) data content (the scientific content carried by a set of data), (b) data itself (the primary expression of that content), and (c) data product (encodings of that data) (Sacchi et. al, 2011). By asking the community to discuss how they use existing identifier schemes and what levels are important to them, we hope to elicit new implications for consistent data citation practice and data reuse.
