WorldFAIR (D2.2) WorldFAIR's Experience with FIPs (second set of FAIR Implementation Profiles for each case study)
Creators: name: Hodson, Simon
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This report provides a summary of the experience of the WorldFAIR project using FAIR Implementation Profiles (FIPs). It briefly revisits the project’s interest in the FIPs approach and summarises the use of FIPs by each of the eleven WorldFAIR case study work packages (WPs).  

The report then provides feedback on the use of FIPs. This includes a discussion of what went well and what went less well; considerations from the case studies on how FIPs might best be used; and constructive feedback on how the approach, and the supporting tools and technologies, might be improved. These points are presented as a set of targeted recommendations at the end of the report.

Tritium endpoint measurement and neutrino mass limit of Project 8 Phase II
Creators: name: Claessens, Christine
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Project 8 is a neutrino mass experiment that uses a new technique, Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy (CRES), to make a differential measurement of the tritium β− spectrum. Project 8 aims to use the advantages of CRES to surmount the systematic and statistical limitations of current-generation direct neutrino mass measurement methods, proceeding in a phased approach toward a goal of effective electron antineutrino mass sensitivity of ∼40 meV/c2 using atomic tritium. We report on the results of Project 8's Phase II using molecular tritium: the tritium endpoint measurement and neutrino mass limit, as well as a demonstration of low background. Using 83mKr data, we highlight the excellent energy resolution of CRES, our improved understanding of the detector response, and their impact on the tritium analysis results. This work is supported by the US DOE Office of Nuclear Physics, the US NSF, the PRISMA+ Cluster of Excellence at the University of Mainz, and internal investments at all institutions.

Background Modeling for the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR
Creators: name: Blalock, Ethan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR is a neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota. The DEMONSTRATOR contains an array of 44 kg of Ge detectors, of which 30 kg are enriched in the neutrinoless double-beta decay candidate isotope 76Ge. From the initial 26 kg yrs of exposure, the count rate in the background estimation window was found to be 11.9 ± 2.0 counts/(FWHM t y), among the smallest background rates for 0υββ experiments, although a factor of 4 above what was projected based on radioassays. This has motivated multiple studies into the background model for the DEMONSTRATOR to understand possible sources for the excess background. In addition to simulations of the standard configuration, simulations of the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR configuration post hardware upgrade were performed. Some potential sources of background excess, not previously considered as significant in the original model, were identified; 232Th and 238U decay chain contamination in those sources was simulated and assessed. Assay campaigns following the decommissioning of Module 1 have been used to investigate hypotheses for sources of background excess by comparing to simulation results. Additionally, maximum likelihood fits using spectra from simulations of different decay chains in different component groups, including the new sources, have been performed. These fits will inform design considerations for the next generation neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment LEGEND.

ROADSTR: A Mobile Reactor Antineutrino Detector
Creators: name: Dazeley, Steven
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Reactor antineutrino detection technologies have advanced significantly in recent years, stemming from scientific investigations into the nature of the neutrino, which have necessitated technology innovations in new scintillators and detection methods. Since reactors are an enormous source of antineutrinos, the potential for antineutrino detectors being used in the reactor safeguards context has also long been recognized. The Nu Tools study was commissioned to survey potential end users in the reactor and nonproliferation communities to identify use-cases that antineutrino monitoring could address. One such use-case identified was the need for safeguarding next generation advanced reactors. To maximize the utility of such detectors, it was recognized that they should be mobile, so that they can be moved if needed, or relocated to another reactor, and that they should be able to operate without overburden protection from fast cosmogenic neutrons – the most prevalent background. The PROSPECT and miniCHANDLER detectors have convincingly shown that above ground detection is achievable. Towards this end, we, in collaboration with Eljen Technologies, have been developing a formulation of 6Li-doped pulse shape sensitive plastic scintillator manufacturable at multi-liter volumes, and using them to build the ROADSTR detector, a fully mobile reactor antineutrino detector planned for completion later in 2022. ROADSTR will consist of 36 bars of 6Li doped pulse shape sensitive plastic scintillator, enclosed within a borated polyethylene shield and placed within a fully mobile trailer. We will present an update of the latest developments of the 6Li-doped PSD plastic scintillator, the detector bar designs and their performance characteristics, and the integration of the inner detector into the mobile shield and trailer.

The advertising and promotion problems of companies engaged in military research and development
Creators: name: McDaniel, James F.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Never before in history has government-sponsored scientific research and development been such a critical factor in shaping the military, political and economic programs of major countries as it is today. Even the population masses, normally aware of only the more spectacular achievements such as jet engines, radar, atomic bombs and polio vaccine, have been deeply impressed and profoundly moved by the programs of the United States and the Soviet Union in developing missiles and satellites which have pushed the world into the highly accelerated Space Age. Practically all United States Space Age achievements are made possible by a vast enterprise financed by the federal government--research and development of new weapons and military equipment. This program received a much-needed shot-in-the-arm in the fall of 1956 shortly after the Russians successfully placed two space satellites into orbit. While it is indeed fortunate that the American people are willing to pay for a rapidly-growing military research program, money alone will not solve all the difficulties plaguing the research and development effort. Some of the more serious obstacles are the interface problems between the buyer (United States Government) and the seller (scientific and industrial organizations). Of these, several problems in the general area of communications prevent contract research and development from being the efficient and mutually-satisfactory business operation it might otherwise be. The aim of this thesis is to examine certain aspects of the pre-contract and contracting phases of research and development--particularly the advertising and promotion problems of commercial research firms or divisions seeking new business with the Department of Defense.

Hierodula membranacea auct. nec Burmeister, 1838: Wang et al. 2020a: 1–21.
Material examined. 1♂, 1♀, CHINA, Yunnan, Xishuangbanna, Mengla, Menglun, 21°55’08’’N, 101°16’19’’E, alt. 567m, 1.vii.2018, leg. Guozhong Yang.
Measurements [in mm, ♂ (n = 1), ♀ (n = 1)]. Body length, ♂ 93.6, ♀ 91.4. Pronotum length, ♂ 26.4, ♀ 30.0. Forewing length, ♂ 65.2, ♀ 58.4.
Distribution. China (Yunnan); Thailand.
Remarks. H. confusa was long confused with H. membranacea in China before it was formally described. Considering the distributions of H. membranacea are likely limited to India and Nepal (Ehrmann & Borer 2015; Schwarz et al. 2018a; Vermeersch & Unnahachote 2020), we suggest H. membranacea should be removed from the Chinese fauna. Vermeersch & Unnahachote (2020) indicated that H. confusa may represent an intermediate species between H. membranacea and R. extensicollis. Our studies support this hypothesis because similarities are also found on the ootheca of the three species (Fig. 15R–U), such as the attachment mode, the appearance, and the arrangement of wrinkles on the external wall.
Male genitalia. Specimens studied herein do not differ from those in Vermeersch & Unnahachote (2020).
Ootheca (Fig. 15R–S) barrel-like. External wall reddish-brown, covered with wrinkles and with yellowishbrown external coating cemented to it. The proximal end of ootheca fully encircling the substrate, fixing the ootheca nearly perpendicular to the substrate. Residual processes are often truncated.

Exploring Seesaw from SEFT in the Language of Invariant Theory
Creators: name: Bingrong Yu
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The seesaw models can naturally explain the neutrino masses and the matter-antimatter asymmetry of our universe. The seesaw scale is usually very high and one can integrate out the heavy degrees of freedom to obtain the seesaw effective field theory (SEFT). We establish the connection between the full seesaw model and the low-energy SEFT from a complete new point of view: the invariant theory. Using the tool of Hilbert series, we demonstrate the intimate relation between the flavor space of the SEFT and that of its ultraviolet theory. Through a proper matching procedure of flavor invariants, the CP asymmetries necessary for successful leptogenesis are directly linked to those in neutrino-neutrino and neutrino-antineutrino oscillations at low energies. Surprisingly, it is revealed that the precise measurements of dimension-five and dimension-six operators in low-energy experiments are powerful enough to probe the full seesaw model, including CP violation for cosmological matter-antimatter asymmetry.

title: Die Siedlungspolitik unter Joseph II. mit besonderem Fokus auf die historische Region der Batschka (serb. Bačka, ung. Bácska)
Creators: name: Dornhackl, Dominik
Year: 2018

description: Diese Diplomarbeit handelt von der Siedlungspolitik in der Habsburgermonarchie unter Joseph II., wobei ein besonderer Fokus auf das Gebiet der Bačka/Bácska/Batschka, eine Region in der heutigen Vojvodina, gelegt wird. Anhand von schriftlichen Zeugnissen, die einen Einblick in die Lebensrealitäten der deutschsprachigen SiedlerInnen zwischen 1784 und 1788 geben, werden die Intentionen der geplanten Siedlungspolitik mit der Umsetzung in der Praxis verglichen. Es werden vor allem Briefe analysiert, die von den SiedlerInnen an Verwandte oder Verwaltungsstellen geschrieben wurden. Nach einer Einleitung, in der unter anderem die Forschungsfragen und Hypothesen dieser Arbeit beschrieben werden, folgt ein kurzes Kapitel, in dem der politische Kontext dieses Themas, der sogenannte „Aufgeklärte Absolutismus“, behandelt wird. Anschließend folgt eine kurze Ausführung methodischer Überlegungen zum Begriff „Lebenswelt“. Ebenso ist eine Darlegung des bevölkerungstheoretischen Diskurses in Europa und der Habsburgermonarchie im 18. Jahrhundert Teil dieser Arbeit. Danach wird genauer auf die Siedlungspolitik unter Joseph II. eingegangen, wobei unterschiedliche Gebiete der Habsburgermonarchie untersucht werden. Der Fokus liegt hier auf der Beschreibung der praktischen Umsetzung und strukturellen Gegebenheiten. Im Anschluss daran folgt das ausführlichste Kapitel dieser Arbeit, in der Quellen analysiert werden, die einen Einblick in die Lebenswelten der deutschsprachigen SiedlerInnen in der Bačka/Bácska/Batschka geben. Es wird in dieser Arbeit gezeigt, dass die Beschreibungen der Lebenswelten von einem qualitativen Standpunkt aus sehr unterschiedlich ausfallen. Diese weisen ein breites Spektrum von sehr positiven bis äußerst negativen Schilderungen auf.

Hierodula unimaculata nec Olivier, 1792: Zhu et al. 2012: 249–251.
Hierodula latipennis Brunner de Wattenwyl, 1893: 69. Holotype (♀): Myanmar (Burma), Carin Ghecù, MCSNG.
Hierodula macrodentata Wang, Zhou & Zhang, 2020a: 6. Holotype (♂): China, Yunnan, SEM. New synonymy.
Material examined. Holotype of H. latipennis: 1♀, MYANMAR, Carin Ghecù, alt. 1300–1400m, II–III. [18].88, L. Fea, 511. 3♂, MYANMAR, Lashio, 23°18’41’’ N, 98°03’12’’E, alt. 843m, 1.vi.2019, leg.

Measurements [in mm, ♂ (n = 5), ♀ (n = 3)]. Body length, ♂ 76.2–80.8, ♀ 63.2–68.6. Pronotum length, ♂ 20.0, ♀ 20.8–21.6. Forewing length, ♂ 51.6–58.0, ♀ 42.3.
Distribution. China (Yunnan); Myanmar.
Remarks. This species can be easily distinguished from other congeners by its wide costal area on forewing in female and five to seven, polished, large, obtuse dorsal spines on the forecoxa. By carefully examining the photographs of the holotype, the original description and illustration of Hierodula latipennis Brunner, 1893, the redescription by Giglio-Tos (1927), and our collections from Myanmar, we found that the characters which meet H. latipennis also agree with H. macrodentata. Therefore, a new synonymy, H. latipennis Brunner de Wattenwyl, 1893 = H. macrodentata Wang, Zhou & Zhang, 2020, syn. nov. is proposed herein. We suggest that the same species was misidentified as ‘ H. unimaculata ’ in Zhu et al. (2012).
Male genitalia (Fig. 12I–J) studied herein do not differ from those described in Wang et al. (2020a).
Ootheca (Fig. 14I–J) similar to that of H. chinensis but usually subtriangular in profile, while in H. chinensis it is subrectangular. Externally with 10– 18 egg chambers, each egg chamber with distinct edges, forming longitudinal ridges (lateral suture). The operculum on the emergence area are highly reduced, causing pentagonal chamber openings exposed. External wall dark coloured, very hard. Females attach egg cases to thin branches, thus causing the proximal end of the ootheca to partially or fully encircle the substrate to which it is attached.

Publisher: name: Status Quaestionis
Year: 2022

description: This introductory essay focuses on possible issues of the research on the relationship between drama and the novel in a century dominated by the director. Before introducing the articles, the editors suggest two different but complementary perspectives: the first is centred on issues concerning the authorship of the director, the second is an analysis of the recent phenomenon of the novelisation of contemporary dramaturgy.

title: Mediation und Dolmetschen
Creators: name: Schmidthaler, Anna-Marie
Year: 2018

description: In dieser Masterarbeit findet eine wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung zu den Themengebieten Dolmetschen und Mediation statt. Beides sind Verfahren der Vermittlung. Dabei werden sowohl die Berührungspunkte als auch die Grenzen sowie die Rolle der Akteure herausgearbeitet. Der Prozess des Dolmetschens und der Mediation werden erklärt, wobei auch das Wesen des Konfliktes und die verschiedenen kommunikativen Strategien der MediatorInnen präsentiert werden. Im weiteren Verlauf wird das Dolmetschen im Kontext einer Mediation behandelt. Hierbei wird ein Augenmerk auf die besonderen Anforderungen an die Dolmetschenden gelegt: die Veränderung der Rolle des Dolmetschenden im Kontext der Mediation und das benötigte Verständnis für den Mediationsprozess und die angewandten Kommunikationstechniken. Auch die kulturell bedingten Missverständnisse, die eine Dolmetschende aufklären soll, wurden in einem separaten Kapitel behandelt. Mittels des Zugangs über die Kultur werden verschiedene Fragestellungen herausgearbeitet, die die Dolmetschende mit ihrer Kulturkompetenz beantworten kann.
Neutrino-Argon Cross-Section Measurements Using the NuMI Neutrino Beam at ICARUS
Creators: name: Howard, Bruce
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The ICARUS experiment, employing a LAr TPC, has been installed at Fermilab in Chicago, Illinois after its original run in Italy and subsequent refurbishment and is now in a stage of advanced commissioning and preparation for analyses. While a main goal of the detector is to serve as the far detector of the Short Baseline Neutrino program searching for sterile neutrino signatures, ICARUS has a broader wealth of physics – for example beyond standard model searches and cross-section measurements. In particular, ICARUS is situated off-axis of the NuMI beam and will be sensitive to a large amount of muon and electron neutrinos produced in the range of a few hundred MeV to a few GeV. These interactions can provide the basis for important neutrino-LAr cross-section measurements and tests of models in an energy range that overlaps both the SBN oscillation search and part of the DUNE spectrum, providing important context for studies that will happen over the next period. This poster will discuss aspects and goals of NuMI cross-section measurements with ICARUS and will highlight some of the status and plans of the effort, for example, reconstruction, selection, and analysis.

title: Starker Körper (schlank, trainiert) sucht starke Frau (intelligent, selbstbewusst)
Creators: name: Knoll, Jessica
Year: 2017

description: Diese Arbeit hatte zum Ziel die Wirkung von Fitspiration-Darstellungen auf die Selbst-Objektivierung auf impliziter und expliziter Ebene bei Frauen zu untersuchen. Dafür wurden in einer experimentellen Studie 138 Frauen im Alter von 18 bis 36 Jahren per Zufallsverfahren einer Versuchs- und einer Kontrollgruppe zugeteilt. Als Versuchsdesign wurde ein Methodenmix aus Fragebogen und Implizitem Assoziationstest gewählt. Durch die Methode des Primings wurde getestet, ob es einen direkten Effekt von Fitspiration-Darstellungen auf die Selbst-Objektivierung gibt. Die Versuchsgruppe bekam direkt vor der Befragung Bilder zu sehen, die schlanke und sehr trainierte Frauen zeigten, die Kontrollgruppe bekam Reisebilder zu sehen. Zudem wurde getestet, ob es Auswirkungen u. a. auf die Körperzufriedenheit gibt, sowie ob das Alter und der BMI der Probandinnen eine Rolle spielen. Beim Alter konnte ein schwacher Effekt festgestellt werden, insofern ältere Probandinnen eher zur Selbst-Objektivierung neigen als jüngere. Basierend auf den erhobenen Daten und durchgeführten Analysen zeigte sich in dieser Untersuchung jedoch kein signifikanter Einfluss von Fitspiration-Darstellungen auf die Selbst-Objektivierung, weder auf impliziter noch expliziter Ebene. Dennoch können die Erkenntnisse und Ergebnisse dieser Studie als hilfreiche Grundlage für zukünftige Forschung dienen.
description: So far research gave evidence of fitspiration contributing to body dissatisfaction and a poor body image. This study was conducted to explore if fitspiration also affects the process of self-objectification on the explicit and implicit level. Therefore an experimental design was chosen. A sample of 138 women aged 18 through 36 were randomly assigned to one out of two groups. The experimental group was exposed to Fitspiration content as priming process. In the control condition participants were shown travel images. After this priming process all participants took part in an Implicit Association Test. To cover the explicit lever they also completed a questionnaire – one before and one after the priming. Further it was tested if the participants' age or BMI had any impact. Indeed older women rather tend to a higher level of self-objectification. Based on the priming no significant effect of fitspiration could have been demonstrated. Therefore this study cannot contribute a new awareness concerning the harming effects of fitspiration. But the results and conclusions drawn from this study can be used as foundation for further research.

description: When the United Nations is looked upon as a deliberative body the question arises as to how well it has fulfilled the commitments of its Charter. The study and resultant analysis of the two territorial questions, Palestine and Indonesia, affords a partial answer to this question. The intent of this thesis is to analyze the solution of the Palestine question and to show why it was unacceptable to many members of the United Nations. In this analysis the speeches made in the General Assembly prior to the final vote on the majority partition question have been analyzed in some detail. The Indonesian question is analyzed and its resolution and acceptance by an overwhelming majority is studied to determine why.
