description: In recent years, applying deep learning (DL) to assess structural damages has gained growing popularity in vision-based structural health monitoring (SHM). However, both data deficiency and class-imbalance hinder the wide adoption of DL in practical applications of SHM. Common mitigation strategies include transfer learning, over-sampling, and under-sampling, yet these ad-hoc methods only provide limited performance boost that varies from one case to another. In this work, we introduce one variant of the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), named the balanced semi-supervised GAN (BSS-GAN). It adopts the semi-supervised learning concept and applies balanced-batch sampling in training to resolve low-data and imbalanced-class problems. A series of computer experiments on concrete cracking and spalling classification were conducted under the low-data imbalanced-class regime with limited computing power. The results show that the BSS-GAN is able to achieve better damage detection in terms of recall and $F_β$ score than other conventional methods, indicating its state-of-the-art performance.

description: This poster introduces the Data Stewardship Wizard (DSW), a tool for creating Data Management Plans (DMPs) while promoting best practices, FAIR principles, and Open Science while guiding researchers. Integrating the DSW with other research tools is crucial for streamlining data management processes and saving time. The DSW offers integration possibilities that allow researchers to input information from external resources or databases using integration questions through API or widgets and import data from other tools using project importers. It also provides highly customizable outputs, which enables researchers to export machine-actionable formats that can be further processed. There are also submission services that facilitate data submission to external services.

 The poster highlights how different institutions, communities, and groups in and out of ELIXIR can tailor the DSW to meet their needs using various integrations. This flexibility allows customizations for various research contexts, enhancing its value and usability for researchers. The poster showcases how the DSW can be integrated with other tools to improve research workflows and compliance with data management policies.

 In conclusion, the poster emphasizes the importance of using the DSW and its integration possibilities to improve research data management practices and comply with data management policies while highlighting the tool's customization potential for different research contexts.

description: \item[Purpose] A recent study revealed that polyethylene (PE) would cause extra carbon-ion attenuation per range shift by 0.45\%/cm due to compositional differences in nuclear interactions. The present study aims to assess the influence of PE range compensators on tumor dose in carbon-ion radiotherapy. \item[Methods] Carbon-ion radiation was modeled to be composed of primary carbon ions and secondary particles, for each of which the dose and the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) were estimated at a tumor depth in the middle of spread-out Bragg peak. Assuming exponential behavior for attenuation and yield of these components with depth, the PE effect on dose was calculated for clinical carbon-ion beams and was partly tested by experiment. The two-component model was integrated into a treatment-planning system and the PE effect was estimated in two clinical cases. \item[Results] The attenuation per range shift by PE was 0.1\%--0.3\%/cm in dose and 0.2\%--0.4\%/cm in RBE-weighted dose, depending on energy and range-modulation width. This translates into reduction of RBE-weighted dose by up to 3\% in extreme cases. In the treatment-planning study, however, the effect on RBE-weighted dose to tumor was typically within 1\% reduction. \item[Conclusions] The extra attenuation of primary carbon ions in PE was partly compensated by increased secondary particles for tumor dose. In practical situations, the PE range compensators would normally cause only marginal errors as compared to intrinsic uncertainties in treatment planning, patient setup, beam delivery, and clinical response.

description: W-graph refers to a general class of random graph models that can be seen as a random graph limit. It is characterized by both its graphon function and its motif frequencies. In this paper, relying on an existing variational Bayes algorithm for the stochastic block models along with the corresponding weights for model averaging, we derive an estimate of the graphon function as an average of stochastic block models with increasing number of blocks. In the same framework, we derive the variational posterior frequency of any motif. A simulation study and an illustration on a social network complete our work.

description: Clinical trials are currently exploring the combinations of P ARP inhibitors and immunotherapies in the treatment of ovarian cancer, but their effects on the ovarian tumour microenvironment (TME) remain unclear. Here, we investigate how olaparib, PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies and their combination can influence TME composition and survival of tumour-bearing mice. We further explored how BRCA mutations can influence the response to therapy. Olaparib and combination therapies similarly improved the median survival of Brca1- and Brca2-deficient tumour-bearing mice. Anti-PD-L1 monotherapy improved the survival of mice with Brca1-null tumours, but not Brca2-null tumours. A detailed analysis of the TME revealed that the olaparib monotherapy resulted in a large number of immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory effects in the more inflamed Brca1-deficient TME but not Brca2-deficient tumours. Anti-PD-L1 treatment was mostly immunosuppressive, resulting in a systemic reduction of cytokines and a compensatory increase of PD-L1. The results of the combination therapy generally resembled the effects of one or both of the monotherapies, along with unique changes observed in certain immune populations. In-silico analysis of RNA-seq also revealed numerous differences between Brca-mutated tumour models. In summary, these findings shed light on the influence of novel therapeutics and BRCA mutations on the ovarian TME.

description: After approval of the GA4GH Beacon v2 standard, a first Beacon v2 Network prototype implementation was used to demonstrate a good level of interoperability. Based on the learnings from several new Beacon v2, an updated Beacon Network Aggregator has been implemented, connected with dedicated adjustments to the Beacon specification itself.
 To support the emerging GA4GH Beacon v2 Networks design, the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) developed a new Beacon Network v2 User Interface which, in conjunction with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) Beacon Network Aggregator, provides a complete federated Beacon v2 querying solution with improved user experience.
 Attention was put on the interoperability, as new implementations were tested. Although the reference implementation provides the Beacon v2 compatibility verification tool, substantial divergences in the implementation were detected. As a result, the Beacon Network v2 working group has prepared a set of guidelines for the Beacon v2 developers that should improve the interoperability within the Beacon Network.
 In summary, the current Beacon Network v2 project provides an important milestone to facilitate cooperation in terms of sharing genomic data and associated annotations. We expect that the project will have a big impact on how researchers, especially practitioners in medical genetics and cancer genomics, will approach the sharing and discovery of such data and utilize the internet to empower future discoveries. This current implementation should also serve as the stepping stone for further developments coupled with new data types becoming available in Beacon, e.g. clinical and medical imaging data.

description: The OpenEBench platform (https://openebench.bsc.es) has been part of the ELIXIR Tools Ecosystem platform since its inception. Despite its broad functionality, OpenEBench contributes to the ecosystem by monitoring bioinformatics tools gathered from different sources such as bio.tools, Bioconda, Galaxy and DebianMed. It also provides a set of FAIR for Research Software indicators that are periodically updated. The current model for the tool descriptions has been greatly influenced by the biotoolsSchema and has been stable for the past six years.
 Nevertheless, the Tools Ecosystem Platform is working towards a more standard description for software tools, which led to the plan of adopting a metadata standard with broad community support being at the moment two options: Bioschemas ”ComputationalTool” Profile and CodeMeta. Considering the great degree of overlap and ongoing discussions to achieve converge and full interoperability, the OpenEBench tools monitoring platform has started the adoption of the Bioschemas ”ComputationalTool” profile. Although JSON-LD provides great semantic data representation, it greatly expands the size of the containing data. The new approach keeps storing data in a JSON format and enrich data with JSON-LD artifacts (@context, @type, @id, etc.) on the fly while preparing the response to any request through the available API.
 This effort should contribute to the existing discussions in the ELIXR Tools Ecosystem platform on the need to adopt widely supported standards for describing research software and should serve as exemplar on the implications of adopting Bioschemas as a standard data model within a given platform.

description: Information freshness and high energy-efficiency are key requirements for sensor nodes serving Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications, where a sink node must collect informative data before a deadline to control an external element. Pull-based communication is an interesting approach for optimizing information freshness and saving wasteful energy. To this end, we apply Content-based Wake-up (CoWu), in which the sink can activate a subset of nodes observing informative data at the time that wake-up signal is received. In this case, the timing of the wake-up signal plays an important role: early transmission leads to high reliability in data collection, but the received data may become obsolete by the deadline, while later transmission ensures a higher timeliness of the sensed data, but some nodes might not manage to communicate their data before the deadline. This letter investigates the timing for data collection using CoWu and characterizes the gain of CoWu. The obtained numerical results show that CoWu improves accuracy, while reducing energy consumption by about 75% with respect to round-robin scheduling.

description: For graphs $G$ and $H$, a homomorphism from $G$ to $H$, or $H$-coloring of $G$, is a map from the vertices of $G$ to the vertices of $H$ that preserves adjacency. When $H$ is composed of an edge with one looped endvertex, an $H$-coloring of $G$ corresponds to an independent set in $G$. Galvin showed that, for sufficiently large $n$, the complete bipartite graph $K_{δ,n-δ}$ is the $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree $δ$ that has the largest number of independent sets. In this paper, we begin the project of generalizing this result to arbitrary $H$. Writing $\hom(G,H)$ for the number of $H$-colorings of $G$, we show that for fixed $H$ and $δ= 1$ or $δ= 2$, \[ \hom(G,H) \leq \max \{\hom(K_{δ+1},H)^{\frac{n}{δ+1}}, \hom(K_{δ,δ},H)^{\frac{n}{2δ}}, \hom(K_{δ,n-δ},H)\} \] for any $n$-vertex $G$ with minimum degree $δ$ (for sufficiently large $n$). We also provide examples of $H$ for which the maximum is achieved by $\hom(K_{δ+1},H)^{\frac{n}{δ+1}}$ and other $H$ for which the maximum is achieved by $\hom(K_{δ,δ},H)^{\frac{n}{2δ}}$. For $δ\geq 3$ (and sufficiently large $n$), we provide a infinite family of $H$ for which $\hom(G,H) \leq \hom(K_{δ,n-δ},H)$ for any $n$-vertex $G$ with minimum degree $δ$. The results generalize to weighted $H$-colorings.

Using the intermediate factor theorems of Bader-Shalom and Nevo-Zimmer, we show that the action stabilizers, and all irreducible invariant random subgroups, are co-amenable in their normal closure. As a consequence, we derive rigidity results on irreducible actions that generalize and strengthen the results of Bader-Shalom and Stuck-Zimmer.

High dimensional stochastic regression with latent factors, endogeneity and nonlinearity

description: We consider a multivariate time series model which represents a high dimensional vector process as a sum of three terms: a linear regression of some observed regressors, a linear combination of some latent and serially correlated factors, and a vector white noise. We investigate the inference without imposing stationary conditions on the target multivariate time series, the regressors and the underlying factors. Furthermore we deal with the endogeneity that there exist correlations between the observed regressors and the unobserved factors. We also consider the model with nonlinear regression term which can be approximated by a linear regression function with a large number of regressors. The convergence rates for the estimators of regression coefficients, the number of factors, factor loading space and factors are established under the settings when the dimension of time series and the number of regressors may both tend to infinity together with the sample size. The proposed method is illustrated with both simulated and real data examples.

description: Information encoding in barcodes using magnetic-based technology is a unique strategy to read data buried underneath non-transparent surfaces since a direct line-of-sight between the code and the reader is not required. This technology is of particular interest in secure labelling and recyclable packaging applications. However, current magnetic reading heads, such as those employed for magnetic ink character recognition, need to be placed in contact with the magnetic structures, limiting the depths at which the information can be read. This paper describes a strategy to overcome that limitation by replacing the traditional inductive heads with tunnel magnetoresistive (TMR) sensors. Soft-magnetic codes can be printed using conventional LaserJet toners and, by having their magnetisation set with a permanent magnet included in the device, the resulting magnetic field can be read using a TMR sensor. We demonstrate that such a device can read barcodes at depths of at least 1 mm. It can also resolve individual structures as thin as 200 μm when used in contact.

description: Electroweak gauge boson pair production is one of the most important Standard Model processes at the LHC, not only because it is a benchmark process but also by its ability to probe the electroweak interaction directly. We present full next-to-leading order predictions for the production cross sections and distributions of on-shell massive gauge boson pair production in the Standard Model. This includes the QCD and electroweak (EW) corrections. We study the hierarchy between the different channels when looking at the size of the QCD gluon-induced processes and the EW photon-induced processes and provide the first comprehensive explanation of this hierarchy thanks to analytical leading-logarithmic results. We also provide a detailed study of the theoretical uncertainties affecting the total cross section predictions that stem from scale variation, parton distribution function and $α_s$ errors. We then compare with the present LHC data.

description: Groups of unknown order are of major interest due to their applications including time-lock puzzles, verifiable delay functions, and accumulators. In this paper we focus on trustless setup: in this setting, the most popular unknown-order group construction is ideal class groups of imaginary quadratic fields. We argue that the full impact of Sutherland's generic group-order algorithm has not been recognised in this context, and show that group sizes currently being proposed in practice (namely, approximately 830 bits) do not meet the claimed security level. Instead, we claim that random group orders should be at least 3300 bits to meet a 128-bit security level. For ideal class groups this leads to discriminants of around 6656 bits, which are much larger than desirable. One drawback of class groups is that current approaches require approximately $2\log_2(N)$ bits to represent an element in a group of order N. We provide two solutions to mitigate this blow-up in the size of representations. First, we explain how an idea of Bleichenbacher can be used to compress class group elements to $(3/2)\log_2(N)$ bits. Second, we note that using Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves (in other words, class groups of quadratic function fields) allows efficient compression to the optimal element representation size of $\log_2(N)$ bits. We discuss point-counting approaches for hyperelliptic curves and argue that genus-3 curves are secure in the trustless unknown-order setting. We conclude that in practice, Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves are more efficient in practice than ideal class groups at the same security level -- both in the group operation and in the size of the element representation.

description: The maximal sum of a sequence "A" of "n" real numbers is the greatest sum of all elements of any strictly contiguous and possibly empty subsequence of "A", and it can be computed in "O(n)" time by means of Kadane's algorithm. Letting "A^(x -> p)" denote the sequence which results from inserting a real number "x" between elements "A[p-1]" and "A[p]", we show how the maximal sum of "A^(x -> p)" can be computed in "O(1)" worst-case time for any given "x" and "p", provided that an "O(n)" time preprocessing step has already been executed on "A". In particular, this implies that, given "m" pairs "(x_0, p_0), ..., (x_{m-1}, p_{m-1})", we can compute the maximal sums of sequences "A^(x_0 -> p_0), ..., A^(x_{m-1} -> p_{m-1})" in "O(n+m)" time, which matches the lower bound imposed by the problem input size, and also improves on the straightforward strategy of applying Kadane's algorithm to each sequence "A^(x_i -> p_i)", which takes a total of "Theta(n.m)" time. Our main contribution, however, is to obtain the same time bound for the more complicated problem of computing the greatest sum of all elements of any strictly or circularly contiguous and possibly empty subsequence of "A^(x -> p)". Our algorithms are easy to implement in practice, and they were motivated by and find application in a buffer minimization problem on wireless mesh networks.

description: The ubiquity of camera-embedded devices and the advances in deep learning have stimulated various intelligent mobile video applications. These applications often demand on-device processing of video streams to deliver real-time, high-quality services for privacy and robustness concerns. However, the performance of these applications is constrained by the raw video streams, which tend to be taken with small-aperture cameras of ubiquitous mobile platforms in dim light. Despite extensive low-light video enhancement solutions, they are unfit for deployment to mobile devices due to their complex models and and ignorance of system dynamics like energy budgets. In this paper, we propose AdaEnlight, an energy-aware low-light video stream enhancement system on mobile devices. It achieves real-time video enhancement with competitive visual quality while allowing runtime behavior adaptation to the platform-imposed dynamic energy budgets. We report extensive experiments on diverse datasets, scenarios, and platforms and demonstrate the superiority of AdaEnlight compared with state-of-the-art low-light image and video enhancement solutions.

description: Die vorliegende Untersuchung fragt nach den Ursachen für das Zustandekommen des globalen Klimaschutzabkommens von Paris: Welche Ereignisse haben dazu geführt, dass die politische Staatengemeinschaft im Dezember 2015 einen Vertragstext verabschiedet hat, der von einigen Beobachtern sogar als „Wunder von Paris“ bezeichnet wird? Ausgehend von einer zweiwöchigen Ethnografie auf dem Gelände des Weltklimagipfels in Frankreich wird das Verhältnis verschiedener Stakeholder auf der größten diplomatischen Versammlung der Menschheitsgeschichte genauer beleuchtet. Zur Erschließung des empirischen Materials wird ein akteurzentriertes Analysemodell entwickelt, bei dem der Zeitfaktor von zentraler Bedeutung ist („AKSA-Modell“). Mit einer um die Kategorien der sachlichen „Kreuzung“, zeitlichen „Synchronisation“ und sozialräumlichen „Arena“ erweiterten Differenzierungstheorie wird das lokale Zusammenspiel zwischen ökonomischen, politischen, wissenschaftlichen, massenmedialen und religiösen Akteuren genauer in den Blick genommen. Dabei zeigt sich, dass das Pariser Klimaschutzabkommen kein politischer Alleingang war, sondern das Produkt eines gesellschaftlichen Synchronisationsprozesses.

description: Electrical conductors are usually made of pure copper because this material shows outstanding electrical conductivity (IACS > 100%). Additive manufacturing can be used to further improve the performances of such electrical conductors because it enables to consider sophisticated geometries impossible to be fabricated by conventional processing routes such as casting, machining or hot forming. In the present work, Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion is optimized to achieve dense pure copper specimens (relative density >99.9%). Only few residual spherical pores inherited from the as-received powder particles are detected in the samples as nicely revealed by X-ray microtomography scans. Three different build orientations, namely 0{\textdegree}, 45{\textdegree} and 90{\textdegree} with respect to the build direction are produced. The microstructures are characterized using optical microscopy and EBSD measurements. The electrical conductivity is measured using the Eddy current method as well as the four-probes method while the mechanical properties are assessed using Vickers microhardness and tensile mechanical testing. The electrical and mechanical performances are discussed in the light of the microstructural characterizations, and further compared with a cold-worked Cu-ETP sheet subjected to an annealing treatment. It demonstrates that E-PBF is able to reliably produce components made of pure Copper whose properties equal those of pure copper fabricated by more conventional processing routes, regardless of the build orientation.

description: Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden drei Zeitprobleme des Entscheidens herausgearbeitet: Zeitknappheit, Zukunftsungewissheit und Zukunftshorizont; und es werden drei Entscheidungsmodi – Inkrementalismus, Coping und Planung – dahingehend charakterisiert, welches dieser Probleme sie jeweils in den Vordergrund stellen. Abstrahiert man von der sachlichen und sozialen Komplexität von Entscheidungssituationen, zeigt sich in zeitlicher Hinsicht eine Abstufung der komplexitätsverursachenden Gewichtigkeit der drei Zeitprobleme. Zukunftsungewissheit wiegt am schwersten. Je höher sie ist, desto mehr ist Entscheiden auf Coping zurückgeworfen. Zeitknappheit lässt, sofern mit ihr nicht hohe Zukunftsungewissheit einhergeht, hingegen zumindest Inkrementalismus zu. Und nur wenn sowohl Zukunftsungewissheit als auch Zeitknappheit nicht zu hoch sind, kann man mittels Planung versuchen, den verarbeiteten Zukunftshorizont zu erweitern. Der so konzipierte analytische Bezugsrahmen wird dann zur Aufschlüsselung empirischer Befunde über das Entscheidungshandeln von Kleinanlegern auf dem Finanzmarkt genutzt. Dabei werden zum einen individuell entscheidende Kleinanleger, zum anderen Kleinanleger, die in Investmentclubs gemeinsam Entscheidungen treffen, betrachtet.

Rechnende Räume

description: Die räumliche Privatsphäre der »eigenen vier Wände« gilt in modernen Gesellschaften üblicherweise als Inbegriff von Privatheit überhaupt, was sich in der räumlichen Metapher ja auch zum Ausdruck bringt. Die hohe Relevanz, die räumlichen Privatheitsaspekten bei der Beschäftigung mit Gesellschaften des historischen Westens zugesprochen wird, ist zudem geschichtlich tief verwurzelt – dementsprechend stark auch die normative Verankerung: Ein Anspruch auf privaten Raum ist sowohl in den Menschen- und EU-Grundrechten formuliert als auch im deutschen Grundgesetz. Indessen lässt sich seit vielen Jahren das stetige Anschwellen eines Stroms populärer, publizistischer, politischer und wissenschaftlicher Diagnosen beobachten, welche vor einer digitaltechnologisch getriebenen Veränderung, Verschiebung, Gefährdung oder Auflösung des Privaten warnen. Obwohl vernetzte Digitaltechnologien immer stärker an der Konstitution zeitgenössischer Räume beteiligt sind, wird die Frage nach der Rolle des Raums für die digitale Transformation von Privatheit dabei genauso selten aufgeworfen, wie jene nach den Konsequenzen der Digitalisierung für räumliche Privatheit selbst. Der vorliegende Artikel setzt noch vor der normativen Diskussion an, indem er zunächst zur analytischen Aufklärung der Zusammenhänge zwischen Privatheit, Raum und Digitalisierung beiträgt. Die These, der im Folgenden Plausibilität verliehen werden soll, lautet konkret, dass die informationelle Transformation des Raums, die sich als Entstehung Rechnender Räume artikuliert, räumliche Privatheit zu unterlaufen geeignet ist. In der Folge kommt es einerseits zu einer Irritation der analytischen Unterscheidung zwischen räumlichen, informationellen (u. a.) Privatheitsdimensionen, und andererseits zu einer Erschwerung der hergebrachten, normativ eingeforderten Privatheitspraktik der individuellen Zugangskontrolle. Diese beiden Folgen erfordern eine Umstellung des konzeptionellen Ankerpunktes der Privatheitstheorie. Zum Ausgang des Textes wird ein Vorschlag unterbreitet, welches dieser Ankerpunkt sein könnte.

description: We provide lower bounds for p-adic valuations of multisums of factorial ratios which satisfy an Apéry-like recurrence relation: these include Apéry, Domb, Franel numbers, the numbers of abelian squares over a finite alphabet, and constant terms of powers of certain Laurent polynomials. In particular, we prove Beukers' conjectures on the p-adic valuation of Apéry numbers. Furthermore, we give an effective criterion for a sequence of factorial ratios to satisfy the p-Lucas property for almost all primes p.

description: We propose an order parameter for the Symmetry-Protected Topological (SPT) phases which are protected by Abelian on-site symmetries. This order parameter, called the "SPT-entanglement", is defined as the entanglement between A and B, two distant regions of the system, given that the total charge (associated with the symmetry) in a third region C is measured and known, where C is a connected region surrounded by A, B and the boundaries of the system. In the case of 1-dimensional systems we prove that in the limit where A and B are large and far from each other compared to the correlation length, the SPT-entanglement remains constant throughout a SPT phase, and furthermore, it is zero for the trivial phase while it is nonzero for all the non-trivial phases. Moreover, we show that the SPT-entanglement is invariant under the low-depth quantum circuits which respect the symmetry, and hence it remains constant throughout a SPT phase in the higher dimensions as well. Also, we show that there is an intriguing connection between SPT-entanglement and the Fourier transform of the string order parameters, which are the traditional tool for detecting SPT phases. This leads to a new algorithm for extracting the relevant information about the SPT phase of the system from the string order parameters. Finally, we discuss implications of our results in the context of measurement-based quantum computation.

description: We introduce Quintessence: a family of burr puzzles based on the geometry and combinatorics of the 120-cell. We discuss the regular polytopes, their symmetries, the dodecahedron as an important special case, the three-sphere, and the quaternions. We then construct the 120-cell, giving an illustrated survey of its geometry and combinatorics. This done, we describe the pieces out of which Quintessence is made. The design of our puzzle pieces uses a drawing technique of Leonardo da Vinci; the paper ends with a catalogue of new puzzles.

description: There are two main aims of the paper. The first one is to extend the criterion for the precompactness of sets in Banach function spaces to the setting of quasi-Banach function spaces. The second one is to extend the criterion for the precompactness of sets in the Lebesgue spaces $L_p(\mathbb R^n)$, $1 \leq p < \infty$, to the so-called power quasi-Banach function spaces. These criteria are applied to establish compact embeddings of abstract Besov spaces into quasi-Banach function spaces. The results are illustrated on embeddings of Besov spaces $B^s_{p,q}(\mathbb R^n)$, $0

D4.4 Territoriality Roundtables (combined report)
Creators: name: Van Eechoud, Mireille
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022
Subjects: copyright; digital single market; unitary title

description: This report summarizes the outcome of two roundtables held with expert legal scholars on the need for a unified European copyright. Issues discussed include various models for a unitary copyright title and fundamental rights aspects. The Roundtables are part of a strand of the Recreating Europe project that queries how the territorial nature of copyright and related rights can hinder the realisation of the digital single market. While for e.g., trademarks and designs the EU has legislated community wide rights that extend across borders of individual Member States, copyright and related rights remain national at heart. Authors, performers, phonogram producers, database producers and other related rights owners all acquire bundles of national rights in their respective (intellectual) productions. Despite far-reaching harmonization of the subject-matter, scope and duration of national rights, these rights remain restricted in their existence and exploitation to the geographic boundaries of the individual Member States under whose laws they arise, i.e., they are territorial.

description: Let g be a complex, semisimple Lie algebra, and Y_h(g) and U_q(Lg) the Yangian and quantum loop algebra of g. Assuming that h is not a rational number and that q=exp(i πh), we construct an equivalence between the finite-dimensional representations of U_q(Lg) and an explicit subcategory of those of Y_h(g) defined by choosing a branch of the logarithm. This equivalence is governed by the monodromy of the abelian additive difference equations defined by the commuting fields of Y_h(g). Our results are compatible with q-characters, and apply more generally to a symmetrisable Kac-Moody algebra g, in particular to affine Yangians and quantum toroidal algebras. In this generality, they yield an equivalence between the representations of Y_h(g) and U_q(Lg) whose restriction to g and U_q(g) respectively are integrable and in category O.

description: Strong-field light-matter interactions initiate a wide range of phenomena in which the quantumpaths of electronic wavepackets can be manipulated by tailoring the laser field. Among the electronsreleased by a strong laser pulse from atomic and molecular targets, some are subsequently drivenback to the vicinity of the ionic core by the oscillating laser field. The trajectories of these returningelectrons are bent towards the core by the ionic potential, an effect known as Coulomb focusing.This process, studied over the past two decades, has been associated with the long range influenceof the Coulomb potential. Here we explore the structural properties of the Coulomb focusingphenomenon. Specifically, we numerically study the sensitivity of the returning electron dynamicsto the anisotropy of the ionic potential. We employ orthogonally polarized two-color strong fieldsand chiral molecules, whose asymmetric features lead to unambiguous fingerprints of the potentialon the freed electrons. The Coulomb-focused electrons show an enhanced sensitivity to chirality,related to an asymmetric attoclock-like angular streaking stemming from field-assisted scatteringof the electrons onto the chiral ionic potential. Anisotropic features of the ionic potential thusmonitor the motion of Coulomb-focused electrons throughout their returning paths, shedding lighton the structural properties of the interaction.
