description: The management, publication, and preservation of datasets have become issues of increasing importance for universities, research institutions, and government agencies. While the reasons and mandates for these activities, and the kinds of datasets collected, differ among these types of institutions, other aspects of data management throughout the research lifecycle concern all of them, including (but not limited to): the discoverability of their data; the choice of metadata standard(s) and the creation of metadata; providing visualization and interaction with data; selection and migration of data formats for long-term preservation; policy development; and storage requirements. Yet, these types of institutions tend to follow different paths in data management and curation, choose different infrastructures, metadata standards and platforms. Are these different approaches inevitably rooted in the differences between these types of organizations and their missions and culture? Or are there lessons they could learn from each other to improve their own practice? The purpose of this symposium is to explore that question. We will have presentations first, then form breakout groups along the lines of different aspects such as platform choice, policy developments, metadata creation. At the end, all will come back together to share the results of their discussion.

Land Economics/Use

description: Use of the Nation’s 2.3 billion acres, including the half-billion acres in Western States, depends not simply on whether they are publicly or privately owned, but also on how the multiple interests in each acre, including rights to water and other resources, are distributed. This article describes how voluntary agreements between private landowners and a variety of public and private agencies increasingly influence how those interests are distributed and how social, economic, and environmental objectives are met.

description: Within the standard weak-coupling limit, the reduced dynamics of open quantum spin chains with their two end spins coupled to two distinct heat baths at different temperatures are mainly derived using the so-called \textit{global} and \textit{local} approaches, in which, respectively, the spin self-interaction is and is not taken into account. In order to compare the differences between the two regimes, we concentrate on an open three-site $XX$ spin-chain, provide systematic techniques to addressing the global and local asymptotic states and then compare the asymptotic spin-transport features by studying the spin flux through the middle site. %we examine the transport properties of an open three-site $XX$ spin-chain. %We analytically derive the exact steady state of the open chain in the global approach and its first order expansion with respect to the self-interaction in the local one. %The steady state transport properties through the middle spin is then studied %in order to compare the physical scenarios associated with the two regimes. %By analytical and numerical means, Basing on the analytical expressions of the stationary states in the two regimes, we find that the local approach misses important global effects emerging as spin sink and source terms that can only be due to non negligible inter-spin interactions. Moreover, we show that the local asympotic transport features cannot be recovered from the global ones by letting the inter-spin coupling vanish thus pointing to the existence of different coupling ranges where only one approach is physically tenable and possibly a region where the two descriptions may coexist.

description: Market transfers of water from irrigated agriculture are viewed as one of the most likely ways to accommodate new demands for water supplies. Market transfers generally improve statewide economic efficiency by shifting water to higher valued uses. However, case studies find the impact of these transfers on agriculturally dependent rural communities to be significant because the costs accrue to the area of origin and the benefits to the area of new water use.

description: We propose a feasible optical setup allowing for a loophole-free Bell test with efficient homodyne detection. A non-gaussian entangled state is generated from a two-mode squeezed vacuum by subtracting a single photon from each mode, using beamsplitters and standard low-efficiency single-photon detectors. A Bell violation exceeding 1% is achievable with 6-dB squeezed light and an homodyne efficiency around 95%. A detailed feasibility analysis, based upon the recent generation of single-mode non-gaussian states, confirms that this method opens a promising avenue towards a complete experimental Bell test.

description: The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is conducting a nightly public survey of all 13 TESS northern sectors in 2019-2020. ZTF will observe the portions of the current TESS sectors visible from Palomar Observatory each night. Each ZTF pointing will have one exposure each with $g$ and $r$ filters, totaling two images per night. ZTF is also making additional nightly $g$- and $r$-band observations of denser stellar regions (e.g. near the Galactic Plane) to better facilitate variability studies of Galactic objects. The limiting magnitude of the ZTF observations is $\approx$20.6 and ZTF saturates at magnitude $\approx$13. ZTF will release data from TESS fields in three forms: nightly alerts distributed by established ZTF brokers, nightly alerts converted to JSON format are distributed via ZTF's bucket on Google Cloud as a tarball, and monthly photometric light curves also distributed via Google Cloud.

description: This paper aims to assess the impacts of 2013 CAP reform in Poland. We provide a comprehensive approach to modelling crop diversification options at farm group level. Belonging to the category of mathematical programming tools, AROPAj model is used to determine the number and mix of crops that may be efficiently cultivated. We consider an energy fast-growing plantation, i.e, willow, to enlarge the potential number of eligible crops. In this respect, we explore the impacts of crop diversification when the number crop limit and the payment benefiting areas planted with willow vary.

description: To assess differences between estimated blood glucose values and those measured on a blood glucose meter and the impact on self-care behavior in type 2 diabetes. Subjects ≥18 years with type 2 diabetes (N = 297) attending a Taking Control of Your Diabetes conference were asked questions about diabetes management and to estimate their current blood glucose. Study staff tested subjects’ blood glucose on a meter. After seeing the result, subjects were again asked questions on diabetes management. NCT01453413. The percentage of subject blood glucose estimations that were outside ISO 15197:2003 accuracy criteria (>±15 mg/dL or >±20% of meter glucose values). Nearly half (46%) of subjects estimated blood glucose values outside ISO 15197:2003 accuracy criteria. Time since last blood glucose test, time since last meal, testing frequency, and A1C did not have an effect on differences between estimated blood glucose values and meter results. In the questionnaire before blood glucose testing, most subjects strongly agreed, agreed, or neither agreed nor disagreed that ‘I make decisions about my diabetes, such as my food intake or my insulin dose even when I do not test my blood sugar’ (71%) and ‘My body tells me without testing if my blood sugar is low or high’ (77%). After blood glucose testing, 99% of subjects strongly agreed, agreed, or neither agreed nor disagreed that ‘Knowing my blood sugar by checking could help me make different diabetes decisions’. Self-monitoring of blood glucose is an important component of diabetes self-management. Testing rather than guessing blood glucose values is important to obtain accurate results and inform people with type 2 diabetes to make effective, appropriate diabetes management decisions. A potential limitation of this study is that the subject population may not be representative of the general population of people with diabetes; however, the conference setting may attract a more motivated population, which could underestimate the magnitude of the results.

description: Mixed cropping, the simultaneous cultivation of two or more coexisting crops in one field, offers the possibility to increase biodiversity within farming systems. However, adoption of mixed cropping systems is challenging for farmers, as the agricultural sector has evolved around mono stands over the past decades and path dependencies have emerged. Utilizing the Theory of Planned Behavior as the main framework, this paper studies the psychological factors underlying German farmers’ intention to adopt mixed cropping. The results demonstrate that perceived eco-logical benefits positively influence a farmer’s attitude towards mixed cropping. Attitude, per-ceived behavioral control, group norm, and subjective norm explain over 49% in farmer’s inten-tion to adopt mixed cropping. A slightly negative influence of subjective norm indicates the ad-vantageousness of voluntary agri-environmental scheme to facilitate adoption. Identified obsta-cles suggest that actors along the value chain have to be addressed and that further research is needed to increase adoption in the long-run.

description: Conserving soil natural capital contributes to human welfare through its delivery of ecosystem services such as food security, water quality and climate regulation as well as providing insurance against future uncertainties, particularly climate change. However, individual farmers bear conservation costs, whereas particular services are public goods benefiting humanity generally. Consequently, farmers’ self-interested behaviour will not necessarily promote the optimal management of soil ecosystem services and underlying natural capital. Here we present a roadmap for evaluating the impacts of alternative farming practices that conserve soil ecosystem services, on farmers’ and societal welfare. The results of a Swedish case show that the value of conserving soil natural capital diverges depending on the level of decision-making: farmers or society. This is because public-good services have substantial societal value, and future flows of provisioning services have greater value to society than to current-generation farmers. We conclude that market outcomes are not likely to be generating optimal conservation of soil natural capital from society’s perspective. Innovative information systems and governance institutions are needed to guarantee the welfare of future generations.

description: This study aims to refine the gross national happiness (GNH) development concept of Bhutan at the farm level and to show the major temporal and spatial trends in the development of rural areas with differing agroecological conditions and adoption of cattle crossbreeding. The study areas (four localities) are described as extensive, semi-intensive, intensive, and intensive peri-urban. Technical, social, economic, and environmental data from 183 households in the study areas were collected in 2000, 2004, and 2015. Participatory methods were used to select from the collected data the most relevant issues and their corresponding indicators at the farm level. The issues identified during the field workshops conducted in the study areas could be grouped as social, economic, and environmental. Next, the indicators were aggregated into economic, social, and environmental indices. In 2000 and 2004, the intensive peri-urban area showed the highest performance in the economic and social indicators. Livestock farming, despite its potential for dairying, was prohibited in one of the localities in 2010 when the territorial coverage of the capital Thimpu expanded. On the other hand, the dynamics of the indicators in the other three localities indicated that the social and economic indices were highest in the intensive area, followed by the semi-intensive area, and lastly, by the extensive area. This could be because different crossbreeding techniques were implemented in these areas. In the period 2004–2015, the reference values of the social indices declined, which could be attributed to increased rural-urban migration and intensified farm labor shortages in the study areas. The environmental indices did not change much during the monitoring periods. In summary, this study presents a methodological approach for examining the GNH in Bhutan based on participatory identification of social, economic, and environmental issues and indicators along with the reference values for the selected indicators. Likewise, this study showed that an integral assessment can complement the implementation of the GNH philosophy in the rural areas of Bhutan.

description: This work addresses flexibility in deep learning by means of transductive reasoning. For adaptation to new data and tasks, e.g., in continual learning, existing methods typically involve tuning learnable parameters or complete re-training from scratch, rendering such approaches unflexible in practice. We argue that the notion of separating computation from memory by the means of transduction can act as a stepping stone for solving these issues. We therefore propose PARMESAN (parameter-free memory search and transduction), a scalable method which leverages a memory module for solving dense prediction tasks. At inference, hidden representations in memory are being searched to find corresponding patterns. In contrast to other methods that rely on continuous training of learnable parameters, PARMESAN learns via memory consolidation simply by modifying stored contents. Our method is compatible with commonly used architectures and canonically transfers to 1D, 2D, and 3D grid-based data. The capabilities of our approach are demonstrated at the complex task of continual learning. PARMESAN learns by 3-4 orders of magnitude faster than established baselines while being on par in terms of predictive performance, hardware-efficiency, and knowledge retention.

description: We numerically compute current-induced spin-transfer torques for antiferromagnetic domain walls, based on a linear response theory in a tight-binding model. We find that, unlike for ferromagnetic domain wall motion, the contribution of adiabatic spin torque to antiferromagnetic domain wall motion is negligible, consistent with previous theories. As a result, the non-adiabatic spin-transfer torque is a main driving torque for antiferromagnetic domain wall motion. Moreover, the non-adiabatic spin-transfer torque for narrower antiferromagnetic domain walls increases more rapidly than that for ferromagnetic domain walls, which is attributed to the enhanced spin mistracking process for antiferromagnetic domain walls.

It is a common problem in various inventory management systems. Here we discuss a local minima solution which uses projection of the convex spaces to resolve the equal flows and turn the problem into a known linear integer programming or constraint satisfaction problem which have reasonable known solutions and can be effectively solved using simplex or other standard optimization strategies.

description: Water plays a key role in biological membrane transport. In ion channels and water-conducting pores (aquaporins), one dimensional confinement in conjunction with strong surface effects changes the physical behavior of water. In molecular dynamics simulations of water in short (0.8 nm) hydrophobic pores the water density in the pore fluctuates on a nanosecond time scale. In long simulations (460 ns in total) at pore radii ranging from 0.35 nm to 1.0 nm we quantify the kinetics of oscillations between a liquid-filled and a vapor-filled pore. This behavior can be explained as capillary evaporation alternating with capillary condensation, driven by pressure fluctuations in the water outside the pore. The free energy difference between the two states depends linearly on the radius. The free energy landscape shows how a metastable liquid state gradually develops with increasing radius. For radii larger than ca. 0.55 nm it becomes the globally stable state and the vapor state vanishes. One dimensional confinement affects the dynamic behavior of the water molecules and increases the self diffusion by a factor of two to three compared to bulk water. Permeabilities for the narrow pores are of the same order of magnitude as for biological water pores. Water flow is not continuous but occurs in bursts. Our results suggest that simulations aimed at collective phenomena such as hydrophobic effects may require simulation times longer than 50 ns. For water in confined geometries, it is not possible to extrapolate from bulk or short time behavior to longer time scales.

description: Growing evidence suggests that biodiversity in the agricultural landscape is declining sharply. Farmland birds are particularly affected, e.g. the lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) population has been decreasing strongly in Germany and Europe. Up to now the European Union has tried to tackle the problem of biodiversity loss mainly with voluntary (second pillar) agri-environmental schemes financed by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD). However, only a small fraction of the agricultural land is enrolled in such programs. We analyse different schemes promoting lapwings in order to identify drivers and inhibitors of acceptance. The analysis is based on a discrete choice experiment with 270 arable farmers in Germany. Results show that those scheme attributes associated with EAFRD compliance, the type of sanctioning and a minimum participation period of five years, markedly reduce the farmers’ acceptance. The results have several policy implications. First, it shows clearly that the maximum support rates for agri-environmental and climate measures according to Art. 28 of EU 1305/2013 laid down in Annex 2 are set too low to achieve an effective implementation of the measure. Second, Eco-Schemes which are an element of the European Commission’s legislative proposal for the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) could be a valid option to address some of the identified caveats. Eco-Schemes that shall be part of the future direct payments will presumably produce higher participation rates since they offer greater flexibility due to the minimum period of only one year and the late timing of the farmers’ decision until mid-May of the running year. In addition, they could provide additional basic income support and not just compensate for the income loss associated with the protection measure.

The order parameter $$ was computed with the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm at several values of $(β,κ,h)$ on lattices of sizes $4^4$ to $12^4$ and extrapolated to $h=0$. The existence of a parity-flavor breaking phase can be confirmed at $β=4.0$ and 4.3, while we do not find parity-flavor breaking at $β=4.6$ and 5.0.

description: This paper traces strategies used by the Radio Preservation Task Force of the Library of Congress's National Recording Preservation Board to develop a publicly searchable database documenting extant radio materials held by collecting institutions throughout the country. Having aggregated metadata on 2,500 unique collections to date, the project has encountered a series of logistical challenges that are not only technical in nature but also institutional and social, raising critical issues involving organizational structure, political representation, and the ethics of data access. As the project continues to expand and evolve, lessons from its early development offer valuable reminders of the human judgment, hidden labor, and interpersonal relations required for successful big data work.

description: We compute the complete O(alphas^2) anomalous dimension matrix relevant for the b to s gamma, b to s gluon and b to s l+l- transitions in the standard model and some of its extensions. For radiative decays we confirm the results of Misiak and Munz, and of Chetyrkin, Misiak and Munz. The O(alphas^2) mixing of four-quark into semileptonic operators is instead a new result and represents one of the last missing ingredients of the next-to-next-to-leading-order analysis of rare semileptonic B meson decays.

description: Luseogliflozin – a novel, orally bioavailable, 1-thio-d-glucitol derivative and a selective sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor – has shown efficacy and tolerability in previous phase 2 studies. This phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, comparative study aimed to confirm the superiority of 24 week luseogliflozin 2.5 mg monotherapy over placebo in reducing hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Patients with HbA1c levels of 6.9%–10.5% were randomized to receive luseogliflozin 2.5 mg or placebo once daily for 24 weeks (n = 79 in each group). The primary endpoint was change from baseline in HbA1c at end of treatment. Secondary endpoints included change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) following a meal tolerance test, body weight, and abdominal circumference. Safety assessments included adverse events (AEs), clinical laboratory tests, and vital signs. At the end of treatment, HbA1c was significantly decreased from baseline in the luseogliflozin 2.5 mg group (−0.63%) versus the placebo group (0.13%), with a between-group difference of −0.75% (p p Luseogliflozin monotherapy for 24 weeks was superior to placebo in reducing HbA1c levels. It also reduced FPG, PPG, body weight, and abdominal circumference and was well tolerated in Japanese patients with T2DM. JapicCTI-111661.

description: To compare the efficacy and safety of telmisartan 40 mg (T40) or 80 mg (T80) plus hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg (H12.5) single-pill combinations (SPCs) with telmisartan monotherapies, in a pooled analysis of patients with mild to moderate hypertension. Six phase 3, double-blind studies of 8 weeks’ duration that assessed the T/H12.5 SPC and T40 or T80 monotherapy, were included in the analysis. Data was pooled separately for the two T40 non-responder studies (T40 NR group, two T80 non-responder studies (T80 NR group), and the two factorial design dose–response studies (FD-DR group). After 8 weeks’ treatment, the adjusted mean reduction in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and the SBP, DBP, and blood pressure (BP) goal rates were significantly higher with the T40/H12.5 SPC than T40 in the T40 NR group and with the T80/H12.5 SPC than T80 in the T80 NR group. In the FD-DR group, the adjusted mean reduction in SBP and DBP, and DBP goal rates were significantly higher for T40/H12.5 versus T40. The percentage of patients with an adverse event was numerically higher with T40/H12.5 versus T40 in the T40 NR group, and was similar in telmisartan monotherapies and the T/H12.5 SPCs in the T80 NR group and FD-DR group. A limitation of this study is the retrospective and pooled nature of the analysis. Also, >75% of patients were <65 years of age, which limits the applicability of the results to older patients. In patients with mild to moderate hypertension, 8 weeks’ treatment with the T/H12.5 SPC is significantly more efficacious than telmisartan monotherapies. The safety and tolerability of the T/H12.5 SPC are comparable to that of telmisartan monotherapy and consistent with that reported in previous studies.
On the beam properties of radio pulsars with interpulse emission

description: In the canonical picture of pulsars, radio emission arises from a narrow cone centered on the star's magnetic axis but many basic details remain unclear. We use high-quality polarization data taken with the Parkes radio telescope to constrain the geometry and emission heights of pulsars showing interpulse emission, and include the possibility that emission heights in the main and interpulse may be different. We show that emission heights are low in the centre of the beam, typically less than 3\% of the light cylinder radius. The emission beams are under-filled in longitude, with an average profile width only 60% of the maximal beam width and there is a strong preference for the visible emission to be located on the trailing part of the beam. We show substantial evidence that the emission heights are larger at the beam edges than in the beam centre. There is some indication that a fan-like emission beam explains the data better than conal structures. Finally, there is a strong correlation between handedness of circular polarization in the main and interpulse profiles which implies that the hand of circular polarization is determined by the hemisphere of the visible emission.

description: Luseogliflozin is a novel sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treatment. An exploratory Phase II study was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of several doses of luseogliflozin in Japanese T2DM patients. Japanese T2DM patients aged 20–74 years with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of 6.9–10.5%, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥126 mg/dL and on diet therapy were randomized in a double-blind manner to receive luseogliflozin (0.5, 2.5, or 5 mg) or placebo once daily for 12 weeks (n = 61, 61, 61, and 56, respectively). The primary endpoint was the change in HbA1c from baseline to end of treatment. Other endpoints included FPG, 2 h postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) in a meal tolerance test (MTT), and body weight. Drug safety was also assessed. Japan Pharmaceutical Information Center (identifier: JapicCTI-090908). Changes in HbA1c from baseline to end of treatment were −0.36, −0.62, and −0.75% in the 0.5, 2.5, and 5 mg luseogliflozin groups, respectively, versus +0.06% in the placebo group (all P P Although this was a small-scale study with a short duration, all tested doses of luseogliflozin significantly improved glycemic control, reduced body weight, and were well tolerated in Japanese T2DM patients over the 12-week treatment period.

description: We generalize some widely used mother wavelets by means of the q-exponential function $e_q^x \equiv [1+(1-q)x]^{1/(1-q)}$ ($q \in {\mathbb R}$, $e_1^x=e^x$) that emerges from nonextensive statistical mechanics. Particularly, we define extended versions of the mexican hat and the Morlet wavelets. We also introduce new wavelets that are $q$-generalizations of the trigonometric functions. All cases reduce to the usual ones as $q \to 1$. Within nonextensive statistical mechanics, departures from unity of the entropic index q are expected in the presence of long-range interactions, long-term memory, multi-fractal structures, among others. Consistently the analysis of signals associated with such features is hopefully improved by proper tuning of the value of q. We exemplify with the WTMM Method for mono- and multi-fractal self-affine signals.
