description: This paper discusses the notions of sleeping and waking metaphors, activation of metaphoricity and deliberate metaphor use in the poem of Parmenides of Elea. I analyse certain metaphors in Parmenides’ text, which I understand as linguistic realizations of the conceptual metaphor an argument defines a path. I show that these are sleeping metaphors, and that Parmenides woke them up at the outset of his philosophical discourse. By identifying rhetorical devices which indicate Parmenides’ deliberateness when activating sleeping metaphors, I show to what extent and to what goals deliberate metaphors are powerful tools in Parmenides’ philosophical discourse.
description: Dieser Aufsatz befasst sich mit den Konzepten von ‚schlafenden‘ und ‚wachen‘ Metaphern, der Aktivierung von Metaphorizität und bewusstem Metapherngebrauch im philosophischen Lehrgedicht des Parmenides von Elea. Meine Analyse konzentriert sich auf bestimmte Metaphern in Parmenides‘ Text, die als mögliche linguistische Umsetzungen der konzeptuellen Metapher ein argument definiert einen weg (an argument defines a path) zu verstehen sind. Ich zeige, dass solche Metapher als, ‚schlafende Metaphern‘ (sleeping metaphors) zu betrachten sind, die Parmenides am Anfang seiner philosophischen Ausführungen gezielt ‚aufweckt‘. Damit lenkt er die Aufmerksamkeit auf ihre figurativen Leistung. Ich identifiziere rhetorische Elemente, die auf die beabsichtigte ‚Erweckung‘ der Metaphern hinweisen. Schließlich wird untersucht, zu welchem kommunikativen Zweck Parmenides seine Philosophie durch diese Metaphern einführt.

description: Poverty eradication has become a global political priority. The United Nations have made it clear that poverty is the most important issue to be resolved if sustainable development is to be reached. The first and most prominent of the recently proclaimed Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) thus boldly reads „End poverty in all its forms everywhere“. Poverty has been a constant feature of humanity. It has been the source of fierce political debates and repression, of internal and external instability, of upheavals and violent conflicts. It is obvious that poverty, within a nation, a region or on an international level not only prevents millions of people from decent livelihoods, equality, justice, rights and general human flourishing. It is the single-most debilitating obstacle that inhibits other political goals from being reached. But what is poverty exactly? Who counts as poor? And who does not? Should we actively do something against poverty? And if so, what? This course proposes answers to these questions. Poverty is a social construct that can only be understood in the light of specific social, historical, cultural, economic and political contexts. It is a multidimensional phenomenon that cannot be analyzed through the lens of a single scientific discipline alone.
Ab initio investigation of FeAs/GaAs heterostructures for potential spintronic and superconducting applications

description: Ultra-thin FeAs is of interest both as the active component in the newly identified pnictide superconductors, and in spintronic applications at the interface between ferromagnetic Fe and semiconducting GaAs. Here we use first-principles density functional theory to investigate the properties of FeAs/GaAs heterostructures. We find that the Fermi surface is modified from that characteristic of the pnictide superconductors by interactions between the FeAs layer and the As atoms in the GaAs layers. Regardless of the number of FeAs layers, the Fe to As ratio, or the strain state, the lowest energy magnetic ordering is always antiferromagnetic, suggesting that such heterostructures are not promising spintronic systems, and offering an explanation for the failure of spin injection across Fe/GaAs interfaces.

description: We present spectroscopic observations in the rest-frame optical and near- to mid-infrared wavelengths of four gravitationally lensed infrared (IR) luminous star-forming galaxies at redshift 1 < z < 3 from the LUCIFER instrument on the Large Binocular Telescope and the Infrared Spectrograph on Spitzer. The sample was selected to represent pure, actively star-forming systems, absent of active galactic nuclei. The large lensing magnifications result in high signal-to-noise spectra that can probe faint IR recombination lines, including Pa-alpha and Br-alpha at high redshifts. The sample was augmented by three lensed galaxies with similar suites of unpublished data and observations from the literature, resulting in the final sample of seven galaxies. We use the IR recombination lines in conjunction with H-alpha observations to probe the extinction, Av, of these systems, as well as testing star formation rate (SFR) indicators against the SFR measured by fitting spectral energy distributions to far-IR photometry. Our galaxies occupy a range of Av from ~0 to 5.9 mag, larger than previously known for a similar range of IR luminosities at these redshifts. Thus, estimates of SFR even at z ~ 2 must take careful count of extinction in the most IR luminous galaxies. We also measure extinction by comparing SFR estimates from optical emission lines with those from far-IR measurements. The comparison of results from these two independent methods indicates a large variety of dust distribution scenarios at 1 < z < 3. Without correcting for dust extinction, the H-alpha SFR indicator underestimates the SFR; the size of the necessary correction depends on the IR luminosity and dust distribution scenario. Individual SFR estimates based on the 6.2 micron PAH emission line luminosity do not show a systematic discrepancy with extinction, although a considerable, ~0.2 dex scatter is observed.

description: We present a local measurement of gravity combining Bloch oscillations and atom interferometry. With a falling distance of 0.8 mm, we achieve a sensitivity of 2x10-7 g with an integration time of 300 s. No bias associated with the Bloch oscillations has been measured. A contrast decay with Bloch oscillations has been observed and attributed to the spatial quality of the laser beams. A simple experimental configuration has been adopted where a single retro-reflected laser beam is performing atoms launch, stimulated Raman transitions and Bloch oscillations. The combination of Bloch oscillations and atom interferometry can thus be realized with an apparatus no more complex than a standard atomic gravimeter.

Subjects: subject: 300 Sozialwissenschaften

description: Die Einleitung stellt in Zusammenhang mit David Nirenberg die Frage, auf welcher Grundlage zwischen Antijudaismus und Antisemitismus zu unterscheiden wäre, und versucht die Schwierigkeiten einer definitorischen Festlegung deutlich zu machen. Im ersten Teil werden Ansätze zu einer immanenten Kritik des christlichen Antisemitismus bei Petrus Abaelardus gezeigt, die in ihrer Art einzig dastehen in der Geschichte der Scholastik und nur vor dem Hintergrund von Abaelards dialektischer Auffassung der Trinität zu begreifen sind. Zugleich sollen die Grenzen dieser Kritik hervortreten, die – ähnlich wie später in Hegels Darstellung der jüdischen Religion – in Abaelards Deutung der Stellung des Gesetzes im Judentum liegen, die auf den Römerbrief von Apostel Paulus zurückverweist. Gleichsam parallel dazu wird im zweiten Teil die Kritik von Karl Marx an Bruno Bauers Texten zur Judenfrage als Versuch einer immanenten Kritik des linkshegelianischen Antisemitismus dargelegt, hier unter Bezugnahme auf seine spätere Kritik der politischen Ökonomie im Kapital sowie auf die Dialektik der Aufklärung von Theodor W. Adorno und Max Horkheimer. Die Grenzen der frühen Diskussion hängen zwar engstens mit der von Marx seinerseits immer wieder zur Schau gestellten Aversion gegen den israelitischen Glauben zusammen, die er überdies reichlich mit antisemitischen Metaphern ausstattete. Im Widerspruch dazu lässt sich aber früh schon der Impuls für jene Studien zum Kapital erkennen, den Marx selber nicht umhinkonnte, dem Judentum zugutezuhalten, und den eigentlich erst Adorno und Horkheimer in ihrem Verständnis der jüdischen Religion offenlegten. In dieser Hinsicht erschließt sich an Marx’ Darstellung der zeitgenössischen Lage der Juden in Jerusalem eine dem christlichen und linken Antisemitismus – und damit auch deren heutiger Synthese in der postkolonialen Theorie – geradezu entgegengesetzte Parteinahme, wonach die jüdische Religion auf singuläre Weise die geschichtliche Erfahrung der Verfolgung der Juden wachhält.

description: By comparing the widths of absorption lines from OI, SiII and FeII in the redshift z=2.076 single-component damped Lyman alpha absorption system in the spectrum of Q2206-199 we establish that these absorption lines arise in Warm Neutral Medium gas at ~12000 +/- 3000K. This is consistent with thermal equilibrium model estimates of ~ 8000K for the Warm Neutral Medium in galaxies, but not with the presence of a significant cold component. It is also consistent with, but not required by, the absence of CII* fine structure absorption in this system. Some possible implications concerning abundance estimates in narrow-line WNM absorbers are discussed.

Creators: name: Durie, Alexander
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: In this work, we study magnetic multilayered systems, discussing in particular the property known as interlayer exchange coupling (IEC). Our work is theoretical, using the method of Tight Binding and Green’s functions to model realistic devices, so that we can demonstrate that our findings should be observed experimentally. We explore how we can manipulate the IEC, in particular its phase. This is an interesting technological prospect, as it means we may be able to alter the magnetic state of a system, making this concept an attractive form of memory in computers owing to its low energy requirements, non-volatility and the fact that it may be used as a form of universal memory. We achieve our goal in manipulating the phase of IEC in two realistic systems and discuss the landscape for further research in the field.

description: Vanadium dioxide (VO$_2$) undergoes a metal-insulator transition (MIT) at 340 K with the structural change between tetragonal and monoclinic crystals as the temperature is lowered. The conductivity $σ$ drops at MIT by four orders of magnitude. The low-temperature monoclinic phase is known to have a lower ground-state energy. The existence of a $k$-vector ${\boldsymbol k}$ is prerequisite for the conduction since the ${\boldsymbol k}$ appears in the semiclassical equation of motion for the conduction electron (wave packet). Each wave packet is, by assumption, composed of the plane waves proceeding in the ${\boldsymbol k}$ direction perpendicular to the plane. The tetragonal (VO$_2$)$_3$ unit cells are periodic along the crystal's $x$-, $y$-, and z-axes, and hence there are three-dimensional $k$-vectors. The periodicity using the non-orthogonal bases does not legitimize the electron dynamics in solids. There are one-dimensional ${\boldsymbol k}$ along the c-axis for a monoclinic crystal. We believe this decrease in the dimensionality of the $k$-vectors is the cause of the conductivity drop. Triclinic and trigonal (rhombohedral) crystals have no $k$-vectors, and hence they must be insulators. The majority carriers in graphite are "electrons", which is shown by using an orthogonal unit cell for the hexagonal lattice.

description: Hubble Space Telescope observations between 2001 and 2010 resolved the binary components of the Cold Classical transneptunian object (79360) Sila-Nunam (provisionally designated 1997 CS29). From these observations we have determined the circular, retrograde mutual orbit of Nunam relative to Sila with a period of 12.50995 \pm 0.00036 days and a semimajor axis of 2777 \pm 19 km. A multi-year season of mutual events, in which the two near-equal brightness bodies alternate in passing in front of one another as seen from Earth, is in progress right now, and on 2011 Feb. 1 UT, one such event was observed from two different telescopes. The mutual event season offers a rich opportunity to learn much more about this barely-resolvable binary system, potentially including component sizes, colors, shapes, and albedo patterns. The low eccentricity of the orbit and a photometric lightcurve that appears to coincide with the orbital period are consistent with a system that is tidally locked and synchronized, like the Pluto-Charon system. The orbital period and semimajor axis imply a system mass of (10.84 \pm 0.22) \times 10^18 kg, which can be combined with a size estimate based on Spitzer and Herschel thermal infrared observations to infer an average bulk density of 0.72 +0.37 -0.23 g cm^-3, comparable to the very low bulk densities estimated for small transneptunian binaries of other dynamical classes.

description: Fluid-rock interaction in ultramafic rocks considerably affects the chemical and isotopic composition of the oceanic lithosphere. We present a geochemical and petrological study of serpentinites and ophicalcites of the Northern Apennine ophiolite, Italy. This ophiolite sequence represents fragments of Jurassic oceanic lithosphere that have been denuded by low angle detachment faults, exposing peridotites on the ocean floor and triggering hydrothermal alteration. Seawater circulation is documented by (Jurassic) seawater-like 87Sr/86Sr values and δ13C values of 1.1–3.0‰ in carbonate veins of the ophicalcites. Bulk rock ophicalcites have low 87Sr/86Sr values of 0.70489–0.70599, elevated SiO2 contents, and talc druses filling calcite veins that record Si-metasomatism. In contrast, underlying serpentinites have 87Sr/86Sr values above Jurassic seawater values. Bulk rock δD and δ18O values of ophicalcites and serpentinites suggest interaction with an evolved seawater-derived and/or magmatic fluid. These chemical signatures result from a complex history of serpentinization, carbonation, and metasomatism. Multiphase water-rock interaction includes infiltration of basement-derived fluids during initial mantle upwelling within an opening ocean basin, followed by localized high-temperature fluid infiltration, extensive seawater circulation resulting in carbonation, and oxidation near the seawater-exposed surface, and finally, fluid-rock interaction with overlying mafic lithologies leading to Si-metasomatism. The studied sequence represents an excellent example of the evolution from serpentinite to ophicalcite during continuous uplift and exposure of ultramafic rocks on the seafloor and documents the complex hydrothermal evolution of ultramafic rocks associated with this process. The extensive chemical transformation of mantle peridotites likely has an impact on geochemical cycles and subduction zone processes.

Das Bild, das prominente Vertreterinnen und Vertreter dieser Ansätze dabei von Antisemitismus und Holocaust einerseits, Judentum und Zionismus andererseits zeichnen, weist systematische Verzerrungen und Fehler auf: Unterschiedliche Formen und Radikalitätsgrade der begrifflichen Entspezifizierung oder Verharmlosung von Antisemitismus, der Relativierung der Shoah sowie der Dämonisierung Israels und des Zionismus sind dabei festzustellen.

Nicht alle der dabei aufgelisteten Texte sind grundlegende Kritiken an solchen Ansätzen. Manche kritisieren lediglich spezielle, aber signifikante Punkte der postkolonialen und antirassistischen Deutung der oben genannten Themen. Eine Liste mit ausgewählten kritischen Beiträgen zur 2020 begonnenen deutschen Feuilleton-Debatte über postkoloniale Theoretiker wie Achille Mbembe, Michael Rothberg oder Dirk Moses wurde ebenso angefügt wie einige Literaturhinweise zu Kritiken an der Israel-Boykottkampagne BDS, dem prominentesten politischen Bewegungskontext postkolonialer und antirassistisch artikulierter Angriffe auf den jüdischen Staat. Berücksichtigung fanden in Gestalt einer separaten Liste auch Kritiken an der sog. Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism, weil diese als wesentlicher Versuch gewertet werden kann, ‚subalterne‘ oder ‚postkoloniale‘ Formen von israelbezogenem Antisemitismus zu verharmlosen.

description: Breakthrough direct detections of planetary companions orbiting A-type stars confirm the existence of massive planets at relatively large separations, but dedicated surveys are required to estimate the frequency of similar planetary systems. To measure the first estimation of the giant exoplanetary systems frequency at large orbital separation around A-stars, we have conducted a deep-imaging survey of young (8-400 Myr), nearby (19-84 pc) A- and F-stars to search for substellar companions in the 10-300 AU range. The sample of 42 stars combines all A-stars observed in previous AO planet search surveys reported in the literature with new AO observations from VLT/NaCo and Gemini/NIRI. It represents an initial subset of the International Deep Planet Survey (IDPS) sample of stars covering M- to B-stars. The data were obtained with diffraction-limited observations in H- and Ks-band combined with angular differential imaging to suppress the speckle noise of the central stars, resulting in typical 5-sigma detection limits in magnitude difference of 12 mag at 1", 14 mag at 2" and 16 mag at 5" which is sufficient to detect massive planets. A detailed statistical analysis of the survey results is performed using Monte Carlo simulations. Considering the planet detections, we estimate the fraction of A-stars having at least one massive planet (3-14 MJup) in the range 5-320 AU to be inside 5.9-18.8% at 68% confidence, assuming a flat distribution for the mass of the planets. By comparison, the brown dwarf (15-75 MJup) frequency for the sample is 2.0-8.9% at 68% confidence in the range 5-320 AU. Assuming power law distributions for the mass and semimajor axis of the planet population, the AO data are consistent with a declining number of massive planets with increasing orbital radius which is distinct from the rising slope inferred from radial velocity (RV) surveys around evolved A-stars.

description: Understanding the influence of environmental and spatial factors on the structure of aquatic communities remains a major challenge in community ecology. This study aims to identify main drivers of rotifer abundance and diversity in ponds embedded in an intensive agricultural landscape in Northeast Germany. We studied 42 ponds of glacial origin (kettle holes) covering a wide range of environmental parameters. The predominant factors structuring the rotifer metacommunity shifted from abiotic environmental filtering in spring to unstudied factors in autumn, while spatial factors remained less important. Fertilizer-driven salinization, internal nutrient recycling, primary productivity and sediment phosphorus release were the prevalent biogeochemical processes in the ponds. Both fertilizer-driven salinization and primary productivity negatively affected rotifer alpha diversity, and positively affected beta diversity. This impact was lower in forest ponds than in those surrounded by arable fields or grassland. However, rotifer diversity did not significantly differ among land-use categories. Our results indicate that the long-term impact of intensive agriculture in the region and the associated widespread eutrophication overrides the direct influence of land use on rotifer diversity but point to an indirect effect via fertilizer-driven salinization. Furthermore, this study highlights the role of ponds in enhancing regional biodiversity in agricultural landscapes.

Turbulence in the interstellar medium produces a global cascade of random gas motions, spanning scales ranging from 100 parsecs to 1000 kilometres. Fundamental parameters of interstellar turbulence such as the sonic Mach number (the speed of sound) have been difficult to determine because observations have lacked the sensitivity and resolution to directly image the small-scale structure associated with turbulent motion. Observations of linear polarization and Faraday rotation in radio emission from the Milky Way have identified unusual polarized structures that often have no counterparts in the total radiation intensity or at other wavelengths, and whose physical significance has been unclear. Here we report that the gradient of the Stokes vector (Q,U), where Q and U are parameters describing the polarization state of radiation, provides an image of magnetized turbulence in diffuse ionized gas, manifested as a complex filamentary web of discontinuities in gas density and magnetic field. Through comparison with simulations, we demonstrate that turbulence in the warm ionized medium has a relatively low sonic Mach number, M_s

description: Das Teilprojekt „Energiekonsum privater Haushalte im Kontext der Energiewende“ befasst sich innerhalb des Forschungsverbundes mit den Folgen der eigenen Erzeugung beziehungsweise der Nutzung erneuerbarer Energien für den Stromverbrauch privater Haushalte und untersucht die Forschungsfrage: „Welche Auswirkungen hat die eigene Erzeugung respektive die Nutzung von Energie aus erneuerbaren Ressourcen auf den Verbrauch von Strom in Privathaushalten?“. Dazu wurden Befragungen mit Personen aus der Untersuchungsregion durchgeführt. Die Befragungen enthielten vor allem Fragestellungen zur Einstellung und Wahrnehmung der lokalen Energiewende, zur Motivation der Befragten für ihr Engagement in diesem Bereich sowie zu ihren eigenen Einflussmöglichkeiten auf die Energiewende. Ein Schwerpunkt wurde in den Befragungen auf die Erfahrungen mit der eigenen Stromerzeugung durch Solaranlagen und/oder der Mitgliedschaft in einer Bürgerenergiegenossenschaft gelegt. Es wurden Erkenntnisse gesammelt, ob diese Aspekte eher zu einer Reduzierung oder einer Steigerung des Stromverbrauches führen. Die Ergebnisse des Teilprojekts sind in den kommenden Abschnitten in diesem Beitrag dargestellt.

description: Composite quantum systems can be in generic states characterized not only by entanglement, but also by more general quantum correlations. The interplay between these two signatures of nonclassicality is still not completely understood. In this work we investigate this issue focusing on computable and observable measures of such correlations: entanglement is quantified by the negativity N, while general quantum correlations are measured by the (normalized) geometric quantum discord D_G. For two-qubit systems, we find that the geometric discord reduces to the squared negativity on pure states, while the relationship $D_G \geq N^2$ holds for arbitrary mixed states. The latter result is rigorously extended to pure, Werner and isotropic states of two-qudit systems for arbitrary d, and numerical evidence of its validity for arbitrary states of a qubit and a qutrit is provided as well. Our results establish an interesting hierarchy, that we conjecture to be universal, between two relevant and experimentally friendly nonclassicality indicators. This ties in with the intuition that general quantum correlations should at least contain and in general exceed entanglement on mixed states of composite quantum systems.

description: The first part of this research is concerned with the development of a method to predict the temperature distribution in the cross-section of concrete bridges. A computer program is developed; a listing and instructions to use the program are presented. The input data for the program are latitude, altitude of the structure and its orientation, the cross-section geometry, thermal properties of the material and parameters pertaining to the climatological conditions. The method of analysis involves the use of two-dimensional finite elements for the idealization of the cross-section area. The variation in temperature with time is treated using time-stepping technique based on Galerkin's weighted residual method. A parametric study is conducted to assess the most prominent factors influencing the temperature development in a bridge cross-section. The influences of various parameters, including time-dependent solar radiation, ambient temperature extremes, wind speed, surface cover, and section shape and dimensions are investigated. The developed method is used in the second part of this thesis to predict critical temperature distribution in the cross-section of a bridge recently built in Calgary, Alberta. The temperature distribution thus obtained is used as input to a nonlinear finite element analysis of a bridge of the same cross-section continuous over two equal spans. The effects of concrete cracking and yielding of the steel are taken into account. The temperature fields used in this analysis are those representing actual conditions in Calgary; also the thermal effect is accentuated by increasing the temperature values by a varying factor. These studies allowed the determination of the significance of thermal stresses on the serviceability of the structure.
Markov semigroups, monoids, and groups

description: A group is Markov if it admits a prefix-closed regular language of unique representatives with respect to some generating set, and strongly Markov if it admits such a language of unique minimal-length representatives over every generating set. This paper considers the natural generalizations of these concepts to semigroups and monoids. Two distinct potential generalizations to monoids are shown to be equivalent. Various interesting examples are presented, including an example of a non-Markov monoid that nevertheless admits a regular language of unique representatives over any generating set. It is shown that all finitely generated commutative semigroups are strongly Markov, but that finitely generated subsemigroups of virtually abelian or polycyclic groups need not be. Potential connections with word-hyperbolic semigroups are investigated. A study is made of the interaction of the classes of Markov and strongly Markov semigroups with direct products, free products, and finite-index subsemigroups and extensions. Several questions are posed.

description: We estimated the dynamical surface mass density Sigma at the solar position between Z=1.5 and 4 kpc from the Galactic plane, as inferred from the kinematics of thick disk stars. The formulation is exact within the limit of validity of a few basic assumptions. The resulting trend of Sigma(Z) matches the expectations of visible mass alone, and no dark component is required to account for the observations. We extrapolate a dark matter (DM) density in the solar neighborhood of 0+-1 mM_sun pc^-3, and all the current models of a spherical DM halo are excluded at a confidence level higher than 4sigma. A detailed analysis reveals that a small amount of DM is allowed in the volume under study by the change of some input parameter or hypothesis, but not enough to match the expectations of the models, except under an exotic combination of non-standard assumptions. Identical results are obtained when repeating the calculation with kinematical measurements available in the literature. We demonstrate that a DM halo would be detected by our method, and therefore the results have no straightforward interpretation. Only the presence of a highly prolate (flattening q>2) DM halo can be reconciled with the observations, but this is highly unlikely in LambdaCDM models. The results challenge the current understanding of the spatial distribution and nature of the Galactic DM. In particular, our results may indicate that any direct DM detection experiment is doomed to fail, if the local density of the target particles is negligible.

Year: 2022
Subjects: FAIR, FAIR-IMPACT, Trustworthy Repositories, TDR,

description: According to the Turning FAIR into Reality report, research data should be made available by means of Trusted Digital Repositories to support a specific discipline or interdisciplinary research community. Provide continuous guidance and assistance to repositories to engage with certification processes, most of all small repositories, is therefore strategic. The session was chaired by Maaike Verburgm, DANS, and Ryan O'Connor, DCC and reverted around the following key discussion points: What is your project or initiative doing to increase the number of trustworthy, FAIR-enabling and/or certified repositories? What guidance and assistance is needed to enable repositories to engage with certification processes or to become more FAIR-enabling? What challenges do Trustworthy Digital Repositories face in maintaining certification and becoming more FAIR-enabling? More than 60 participants joined the session from a wide range of stakeholders, with discussions focusing mainly around issues such as Certification , which is not always the end goal, but a process itself valuable; the role for certified repositories to help guide those seeking certification and to share experiences; existing certification processes; and the impoertance of transparency to enable informed decision making about choice of repository.

description: Agreed sets of metrics should be implemented and monitored to track changes in the FAIRness of data sets or data-related resources over time. In this respect, the development of FAIR Compliant tools and services should meet the needs of data producers and users. During this session, chaired by Mike Priddy with rapporteuring support by Maaike Verburg, DANS, participants were asked to reply to the following questions: What does your project or initiative do to implement metrics? If your project, initiative, community or institution use tools to assess the FAIRness of datasets which do you use? Are you aware of tools and metrics that are used to assess software FAIRness and are you utilising them in your project or initiative? Which tool(s) and metrics? Are you aware of tools and metrics that are used to assess semantic artefacts FAIRness and are you utilising them in your project or initiative? Around 40 participants joined the session from a large variety of projects, initiatives, as well as the EOSC-A TFs creating a lively conversation.

description: I discuss in parallel two universal phenomena: the independence of statistics of the heat capacity and entropy of ideal gases of the same, constant, density of states, on one hand, and the independence of statistics of the heat and entropy transport through one-dimensional channels, on the other hand. I show that there is a close similarity between the microscopic explanations of each of these phenomena.
