description: This paper discusses two goodness-of-fit testing problems. The first problem pertains to fitting an error distribution to an assumed nonlinear parametric regression model, while the second pertains to fitting a parametric regression model when the error distribution is unknown. For the first problem the paper contains tests based on a certain martingale type transform of residual empirical processes. The advantage of this transform is that the corresponding tests are asymptotically distribution free. For the second problem the proposed asymptotically distribution free tests are based on innovation martingale transforms. A Monte Carlo study shows that the simulated level of the proposed tests is close to the asymptotic level for moderate sample sizes.

description: Consumption of soft drinks with high potentially toxic elements concentrations may lead to acute or chronic poisoning. Soft drinks have been shown to contain traces of some potentially toxic elements such as cadmium, lead, mercury arsenic, zinc, etc. which may be due to environmental pollution from the surface and underground water, food and fruits utilised during production, and can be toxic for humans. In this study, Quadrupole Inductively Coupled Mass Spectrometer (Q-ICP-MS) was used in a simple validated method of analysis for direct determination of Al, Sb, As, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, Hg, Ni, Sn, and Zn in soft drink samples. Analysis of 130 samples covering 14 different brands of popular soft drinks in Egypt to assess whether the intakes complied with the upper permissible levels for tested metals was performed. The results showed that all analysed samples were free from any detectable amount of Hg, while the mean concentrations, in µg/L, were as follows: 1.48 (Cr), 1.96 (As), 0.77 (Sb), 0.53 (Co), 20.27 (Mn), 108.83 (Fe), 0.52 (Cd), 13.18 (Cu), 8.55 (Ni), 20.00 (Sn), 80.09 (Al), 36.54 (Zn), and 1.05 (Pb). The health risk assessment was evaluated for estimated weekly intake, the hazard quotient, the hazard index and the target cancer risk using the Food and Nutrition Board, FAO/WHO and USEPA recommendations. The weekly intakes of all elements were found to be significantly below the recommended tolerable levels. Also, the hazard quotient, the hazard index and the target cancer values for all elements were found to be lower than acceptable guideline values, which indicated that there was no any non-carcinogenic or carcinogenic effects may occur.

description: Advances in technology have changed the Teaching/Learning processes and created opportunities to include smart IoT structures in learning spaces. Iot structures based in interrelated hardware and software elements that use the MQTT as communication protocol. This communication shows the structural design of a Smart Learning Environment prototype that collects data from physical environment during Teaching/Learning process. The first step to create a Smart Learning Environment is design context aware sensors to acquire environmental data and notify relevant events. The subsequent data analysis shows how it is possible relate data and teaching/Learning events. Based on the data collected and adaptable rules, it is possible understand what is happens within the classroom. Once the teaching/Learning events has been detect, the next step is to generate feedbacks and send notifications. This communication presents some real results obtained in the initial experimental phases developed and propose some rules to detect interesting events. Design Smart Learning Environment is an opportunity to further research and developments that can improve the teaching/Learning processes on all circumstances.

description: We consider a quasilinear system of hyperbolic equations that describes plane one-dimensional non-relativistic oscillations of electrons in a cold plasma with allowance for electron-ion collisions. Accounting for collisions leads to the appearance of a term analogous to dry friction in a mechanical system, leading to a decrease in the total energy. We obtain a criterion for the existence of a global in time smooth solution to the Cauchy problem. It allows to accurately separate the initial data into two classes: one corresponds to a globally in time smooth solutions, and the other leads to a finite-time blowup. The influence of electron collision frequency $ ν$ on the solution is investigated. It is shown that there is a threshold value, after exceeding which the regime of damped oscillations is replaced by the regime of monotonic damping. The set of initial data corresponding to a globally in time smooth solution of the Cauchy problem expands with increasing $ ν$, however, at an arbitrarily large value there are smooth initial data for which the solution forms a singularity in a finite time, and this time tends to zero as $ ν$ tends to infinity. The character of the emerging singularities is illustrated by numerical examples.

Data Warehouses and Business Intelligence for Social Sciences. Aims and Possibilities of a Data Warehouse within the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) in Germany
Creators: name: Schiller, David
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2010

description: The National Educational Panel Study NEPS (which is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research) was established in 2008. Based on a multicohort sequence design 60,000 target persons within six starting cohorts will be followed through their life course. The main aims of the NEPS are to increase the knowledge about the development of competencies, the impact of learning environments, social inequality and educational decisions, educational acquisition with migration background, and the returns of education. The NEPS data will be stored in a data warehouse. A data warehouse and the tools of Business Intelligence provide a higher level of flexibility than ordinary file servers or conventional transactional databases. Some of these additional opportunities are: Easier access to the data, data can be offered in different dimensions for various statistical packages (such as Stata), data from different sources can be matched, the user can build his/her own private use files (e. g., by selecting variables depending on the personal needs via a shopping basket), results and new computed variables can be easily stored within the data warehouse for further use by different users, the statistical power within the data warehouse can be used without an additional statistical software and even new solutions of disclosure control and anonymization techniques can be integrated.

description: Flegg's location quotient (FLQ) is a useful tool for estimating intraregional output multipliers. This paper uses it as one component when estimating interregional multipliers. Using statistical information criteria and official data for 16 South Korean regions, it is found that the best approach is to combine the FLQ with a simple trade model. The paper explains how the proposed procedure can be implemented for both multiple and individual regions, and also how a region-specific value for the unknown parameter δ in the FLQ formula can be determined. Finally, an illustrative case study of one of the regions is carried out.

description: Magnetic skyrmions are localized swirls of magnetization with a non-trivial topological winding number. This winding increases their robustness to superparamagnetism and gives rise to a myriad of novel dynamical properties, making them attractive as next-generation information carriers. Recently the equation of motion for a skyrmion was derived using the approach pioneered by Thiele, allowing for macroscopic skyrmion systems to be modeled efficiently. This powerful technique suffers from the prerequisite that one must have a priori knowledge of the functional form of the interaction between a skyrmion and all other magnetic structures in its environment. Here we attempt to alleviate this problem by providing a simple analytic expression which can generate arbitrary repulsive interaction potentials from the micromagnetic Hamiltonian. We also discuss a toy model of the radial profile of a skyrmion which is accurate for a wide range of material parameters.

description: Virasoro conformal blocks are expected to exponentiate in the limit of large central charge $c$ and large operator dimensions $h_i$, with the ratios $h_i/c$ held fixed. We prove this by employing the oscillator formulation of the Virasoro algebra and its representations. The techniques developed are then used to provide new derivations of some standard results on conformal blocks.

In Other Words : Defining, Creating, and Experiencing Space through Language

description: Words are my drug of choice. They always have been, and they always will be. I could never imagine a world without them, and I really wouldn’t want to. Long story short, I know how much they mean to me. So, what do they mean to you? This thesis aims to investigate the imaginative potentials that exist through the written word, considering text as an operative device to structure individualized perceptions of meaning. In producing an emotive and cognitive experience rooted in the written word, language becomes material, capable of embodying both spatial and experiential complexities. In this sense, words on a page, thoughts in the mind, and experiences in space no longer exist as discrete entities; instead, they are interwoven and situated as critical design instruments linked through the written word. In doing so, the project creates a multi-layered narrative at the intersection between fact and fiction. I hope you enjoy your time here, and perhaps more importantly, that you read with an open mind.

description: Strong anomalous diffusion phenomena are often observed in complex physical and biological systems, which are characterized by the nonlinear spectrum of exponents $qν(q)$ by measuring the absolute $q$-th moment $\langle |x|^q\rangle$. This paper investigates the strong anomalous diffusion behavior of a two-state process with Lévy walk and Brownian motion, which usually serves as an intermittent search process. The sojourn times in Lévy walk and Brownian phases are taken as power law distributions with exponents $α_+$ and $α_-$, respectively. Detailed scaling analyses are performed for the coexistence of three kinds of scalings in this system. Different from the pure Lévy walk, the phenomenon of strong anomalous diffusion can be observed for this two-state process even when the distribution exponent of Lévy walk phase satisfies $α_+<1$, provided that $α_-

Impossible moons -- Transit timing effects that cannot be due to an exomoon

description: Exomoons are predicted to produce transit timing variations (TTVs) upon their host planet. Unfortunately, so are many other astrophysical phenomena - most notably other planets in the system. In this work, an argument of reductio ad absurdum is invoked, by deriving the transit timing effects that are impossible for a single exomoon to produce. Our work derives three key analytic tests. First, one may exploit the fact that a TTV signal from an exomoon should be accompanied by transit duration variations (TDVs), and that one can derive a TDV floor as a minimum expected level of variability. Cases for which the TDV upper limit is below this floor can thus be killed as exomoon candidates. Second, formulae are provided for estimating whether moons are expected to be 'killable' when no TDVs presently exist, thus enabling the community to estimate whether it's even worth deriving TDVs in the first place. Third, a TTV ceiling is derived, above which exomoons should never be able to produce TTV amplitudes. These tools are applied to a catalog of TTVs and TDVs for two and half thousand Kepler Objects Interest, revealing over two hundred cases that cannot be due to a moon. These tests are also applied to the exomoon candidate Kepler-1625b i, which comfortably passes the criteria. These simple analytic results should provide a means of rapidly rejecting putative exomoons and streamlining the search for satellites.

But it's not the same thing! Using National Labour Data in Cross-National Comparative Studies on Precarious Employment
Creators: name: Giesbrecht, Walter
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2010

description: Attempting to compare labour data from different countries or regions can be fraught with danger, since definitions of concepts can vary tremendously, and gaps exist in the data collected. Apparently similar concepts such as part-time work, or permanent vs. temporary employment, are often not strictly comparable using published aggregate data. Surveys designed to gather data for national policy reasons do not automatically generate data that are comparable for use in cross-national studies. Harmonizing these concepts and definitions involves considering their deployment in national contexts in order to assure that cross-national comparisons are truly comparing likes with likes. The Comparative Perspectives Database (still under development) is a project that is attempting to generate comparative multi-dimensional data tables on aspects of precarious employment, using the microdata from a total of seven surveys spanning thirty countries (Canada, United States, European Union (EU-27) and Australia). I will discuss in detail some of the problems we encountered in producing a codebook that would allow us to produce useful cross-national data tables, as well as describe other similar projects conducted elsewhere.
Electronic and optical conductivity of kekulé-patterned graphene: Intravalley and intervalley transport

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: A Kubo formalism is used to calculate the electronic and optical conductivity of a graphene superlattice with Y-shaped kekulé bond texture, similar to that visualized in recent experiments. We show that new conduction channels between the valleys in graphene are opened by the kekulé distortion. This intervalley contribution to the electronic transport is not present in pristine graphene and here appears due to the folding of the Dirac cones $K$, $K'$ on top of each other. The contribution of intervalley transport to the conductivity of graphene, as well as the modification of the intravalley transport, are analyzed in detail for different frequency, temperature, chemical potential and scattering rate limits. We obtain analytical expressions for the conductivity that reproduce previous expressions used to fit experimental measurements in graphene and compare with direct numerical evaluations of the Kubo formula, finding great agreement. The optical absorption arising from intervalley transitions displays a maximum at a special frequency that can be tuned by doping. Our results show how the single parameter describing the valley coupling in this system could be obtained by measuring graphene's optical absorbance in the region where interband transitions are blocked by the impurities. Finally, we use Fermi's golden rule to independently verify some of the previous results.
Using Administrative Data for Social Science Research: Promise and Peril
Creators: name: Gey, Fredric
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2010

description: Administrative records from ongoing social and tax programs can provide a rich source for specialized research in the social sciences. Welfare, employment, income tax, support programs for pregnant and parenting teens, scholarship applications, can, among many others be mined for insights into social and economic behavior of specialized sup-populations of the general population. This source of information comes at a price of diligence in understanding the statistical universe you are utilizing, dealing with dirty data (duplicate records, missing data, confusing data), protection of the privacy of individuals and understanding the peculiar structure and operations of particular data processing systems within operational social programs. This presentation will draw from the UC DATA's experience of more than a decade of social science research using administrative data. It is hoped that our experience can enlighten and prepare others for the challenge and rewards of preparing and repurposing administrative records for research uses that they were not originally designed. Administrative data will be compared (in terms of utility, accuracy and completeness) with rigorously design social survey data.
Recursive Algorithms for Generation of Planar Graphs
Creators: name: Jooyandeh, Mohammadreza
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2014

description: In this thesis we introduce recursive algorithms for generation of two families of plane graphs. These algorithms start with small graphs and iteratively convert them to larger graphs. The families studied in this thesis are k-angulations (plane graphs with whose faces are of size k) and plane graphs with a given face size sequence.We also design a very fast method for canonical embedding and isomorphism rejection of plane graphs. Most graph generators like plantri generate graphs up to isomorphism of the embedding, however our method does the isomorphism checking up to the underlining graph while taking advantage of the planarity and embeddings to speed up the computation.The next subject discussed in this thesis is a type of graph called hypohamiltonian in which after removing each vertex from the graph, there is a Hamiltonian cycle through all remaining vertices while the original graph does not have any such cycle. One of the problems in the literature since 1976 is to find the smallest planar hypohamiltonian graphs. The previous record by Weiner and Araya was a planar graph with 42 vertices. We improve this record by finding 25 planar hypohamiltonian graphs on 40 vertices while discovering many larger ones on 42 and 43 vertices.The final subject in the thesis is a family of molecules called fullerenes which are entirely composed of carbon atoms. The structure of fullerenes are 3-connected plane graphs with exactly 12 faces of size 5 and the rest of size 6. A famous conjecture regarding fullerenes, called face-spiral conjecture claims that the drawing of their graph can be unwound in a spiral manner starting from one face and circulating around that face until all faces are traversed. This conjecture is known to be incorrect and the smallest counterexample is made of 380 carbon atoms. We have extended this conjecture to families of 3-connected plane graphs with f3, f4 and f5 faces of size 3, 4, and 5 while the remaining faces have size 6 and found counterexample for all possible values of . We also found the smallest counterexamples for 11 of these families out of 19 possible cases.
In Situ versus Disk Migration Origins of Warm Jupiters: Prediction on Nearby Companions
Creators: name: Dong, Jiayin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: More than two dozens of Warm Jupiters have been found with nearby companions, including many with a companion in/near orbital resonances. To understand the formation of such systems, we explore the in-situ and disk-driven migration origin channels of Warm Jupiters and how these two formation pathways affect the companion properties of Warm Jupiters. We simulate a disk of isolation mass embryos with either an inward migrating Jupiter or allowing one massive embryo to grow to a Jupiter mass planet. Using the N-body code REBOUND and REBOUNDx, we evolve the system for the protoplanetary disk stage and the stage after the disk dissipation. Our preliminary results show that Warm Jupiter migration enhances embryo collisions and produces Neptune-mass embryos trapped into its mean-motion resonance. In the poster, I will present the resulting planetary system architectures from the two scenarios and discuss the similarities/differences in the companion properties. I will also make predictions on the observed companion properties for the transit and radial-velocity surveys.

description: In this paper, we consider a generic hidden sector which interacts only gravitationally with Standard Model particles. We show that quantum gravity leads to operators which can be probed with fifth force type experiments. The Eöt-Wash torsion pendulum experiment implies that the masses of any scalar field or any massive spin-2 field that couples with the usual gravitational strength to the energy-momentum tensor of the Standard Model must be larger than $10^{-3}$eV. This has interesting consequences for models of dark matter which posit very light scalar fields. Dark matter must be heavier than $10^{-3}$eV if it is a scalar field or a massive spin-2 field.

description: One of the key features of the global financial crisis was its unexpected nature. This was a paradox as extensive data is collected from around the world with the primary aim of maintaining global financial stability. This failing of our current socioeconomic data framework, combined with a more widespread dissatisfaction with the present state of statistical information on economies and societies, prompted French president Nicholas Sarkozy to set up a commission designed to identify the limits of GDP as an indicator of economic performance. In this talk, we discuss the outcomes and likely impact of the commission which reported in 2009. We also consider the production of more relevant indicators of social progress, assess the feasibility of alternative measurement tools and discuss the likelihood of their adoption. International data are also widely used by the research community, and we also present here the results of a preliminary analysis of the ESDS International web server logs showing the countries and indicators preferentially chosen by academics when looking for data to support their research. These results tell us about the kind of data researchers choose when looking for data to support their research and the future directions we should consider as providers and facilitators of cross-national data.
A Unified Picture of Disk Galaxies where Bars, Spirals and Warps Result from the Same Fundamental Causes

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Bars and spiral arms have played an important role as constraints on the dynamics and on the distribution of dark matter in the optical parts of disk galaxies. Dynamics linked to the dissipative nature of gas, and its transformation into stars provide clues that spiral galaxies are driven by dissipation close to a state of \textit{marginal stability} with respect to the dynamics in the galaxy plane. Here we present numerical evidences that warps play a similar role but in the transverse direction. N-body simulations show that typical galactic disks are also marginally stable with respect to a bending instability leading to typical observed warps. The frequent occurrence of warps and asymmetries in the outer galactic disks give therefore, like bars in the inner disks, new constraints on the dark matter, but this time in the outer disks. If disks are marginally stable with respect to bending instabilities, our models suggest that the mass within the HI disks must be a multiple of the detected HI and stars, i.e., disks must be heavier than seen. But the models do not rule out a traditional thick halo with a mass within the HI disk radius similar to the total disk mass.

Pion parameters in nuclear medium from chiral perturbation theory and virial expansion

Year: 2003

description: We consider two methods to find the effective parameters of the pion traversing a nuclear medium. One is the first order chiral perturbation theoretic evaluation of the pion pole contribution to the two-point function of the axial-vector current. The other is the exact, first order virial expansion of the pion self-energy. We find that, although the results of chiral perturbation theory are not valid at normal nuclear density, those from the virial expansion may be reliable at such density. The latter predicts both the mass-shift and the in-medium decay width of the pion to be small, of about a few MeV.

description: The class of ultra-hot Jupiters comprises giant exoplanets undergoing intense irradiation from their host stars. They have proved to be a particularly interesting population for their orbital and atmospheric properties. One such planet, WASP-121~b, is in a highly misaligned orbit close to its Roche limit, and its atmosphere exhibits a thermal inversion. These properties make WASP-121~b an interesting target for additional atmospheric characterization. In this paper, we present analysis of archival high-resolution optical spectra obtained during transits of WASP-121~b. Artifacts from the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect and Center-to-Limb Variation are deemed negligible. However, we discuss scenarios where these effects warrant more careful treatment by modeling the WASP-121 system and varying its properties. We report a new detection of atmospheric absorption from H$α$ in the planet with a transit depth of $1.87\pm0.11\%$. We further confirm a previous detection of the Na I doublet, and report a new detection of Fe I via cross-correlation with a model template. We attribute the H$α$ absorption to an extended Hydrogen atmosphere, potentially undergoing escape, and the Fe I to equilibrium chemistry at the planetary photosphere. These detections help to constrain the composition and chemical processes in the atmosphere of WASP-121~b.

Weak Lensing Minima and Peaks: Cosmological Constraints and the Impact of Baryons

description: We present a novel statistic to extract cosmological information in weak lensing data: the lensing minima. We also investigate the effect of baryons on the cosmological constraints from peak and minimum counts. Using the \texttt{MassiveNuS} simulations, we find that lensing minima are sensitive to non-Gaussian cosmological information and are complementary to the lensing power spectrum and peak counts. For an LSST-like survey, we obtain $95\%$ credible intervals from a combination of lensing minima and peaks that are significantly stronger than from the power spectrum alone, by $44\%$, $11\%$, and $63\%$ for the neutrino mass sum $\sum m_ν$, matter density $Ω_m$, and amplitude of fluctuation $A_s$, respectively. We explore the effect of baryonic processes on lensing minima and peaks using the hydrodynamical simulations \texttt{BAHAMAS} and \texttt{Osato15}. We find that ignoring baryonic effects would lead to strong ($\approx 4 σ$) biases in inferences from peak counts, but negligible ($\approx 0.5 σ$) for minimum counts, suggesting lensing minima are a potentially more robust tool against baryonic effects. Finally, we demonstrate that the biases can in principle be mitigated without significantly degrading cosmological constraints when we model and marginalize the baryonic effects.

description: The increase in luminosity and center of mass energy at the FCC-hh will open up new clean channels where BSM contributions are enhanced at high energy. In this paper we study one such channel, $Wh \to \ellνγγ$. We estimate the sensitivity to the $\mathcal{O}_{φq}^{(3)}$, $\mathcal{O}_{φ{W}}$, and $\mathcal{O}_{φ\widetilde {W}}$ SMEFT operators. We find that this channel will be competitive with fully leptonic $WZ$ production in setting bounds on $\mathcal{O}_{φq}^{(3)}$. We also find that the double differential distribution in the $p_T^h$ and the leptonic azimuthal angle can be exploited to enhance the sensitivity to $\mathcal{O}_{φ\widetilde {W}}$. However, the bounds on $\mathcal{O}_{φ{W}}$ and $\mathcal{O}_{φ\widetilde {W}}$ we obtain in our analysis, though complementary and more direct, are not competitive with those coming from other measurements such as EDMs and inclusive Higgs measurements.

Battle for the Americas : U.S. and Venezuelan visions for Latin America

description: This is a thesis about how Washington views and understands itself in relation to Latin America. So too, however, is it an investigation into how this particular reading is being challenged principally, but not exclusively, by the Hugo Chavez administration in Venezuela. Conceptualising this antagonism as a 'Battle for the Americas', the thesis juxtaposes rival attempts by both Washington and Caracas to co-opt the rest of Latin America into their respective political and ideological projects. Taking an analytical approach influenced by post-structuralist thinking, it explores the politics of representing Latin America. It focuses on how a U.S. reading of its 'backyard' confirms its pre-eminence, but also illustrates how a Venezuelan reading energises its claims for emancipatory change. Accordingly, the thesis explores crucial issues of hegemonic power in the post-Cold War era and its particular manifestation in U.S.-Latin American relations. This is done in three parts. First, it demonstrates how U.S.-authored representations of Latin America limit what is deemed possible and who are seen as legitimate actors; second, how this reading is being resisted; and third, how this resistance, in tum, affects U.S. identity and foreign policy possibilities. It does so by exploring contemporary issues on the thinking and practice of democracy, economic development and regional diplomacy. This investigation will show how Latin America is acting in an increasingly autonomous fashion and is, therefore, a less certain region for the United States, as it can no longer be relied upon to conform to U.S. ways of thinking and acting. The thesis then concludes by revealing how this shift not only recasts inter-American politics by redefining the 'art of the possible', but also displaces Washington as the central actor and standard-bearer for the region.

description: It is argued that the problem of interpreting quantum mechanics, and the philosophical problem of consciousness, both have their roots in the same set of misguided Cartesian assumptions. The confusions underlying those assumptions are analyzed in detail. It is sometimes suggested that quantum mechanics might explain consciousness. That is not the suggestion here. Rather it is suggested that an adequate non-Cartesian philosophy would transform our understanding of both quantum mechanics and consciousness. Consequently, it would change our ideas as to just what it is that we are trying to explain.

Subjects: subject: Functional Analysis (math.FA)

description: Recently, CQ method has been investigated extensively. However, it is mainly applied to modify Mann, Ishikawa and Halpern iterations to get strong convergence. In this paper, we study the properties of CQ method and proposed a framework. Based on that, we obtain a series of strong convergence theorems. Some of them are the extensions of previous results. On the other hand, CQ method, monotone Q method, monotone C method and monotone CQ method, used to be given separately, have the following relations: CQ method TRUE $\Rightarrow$ monotone Q method TRUE $\Rightarrow$ monotone C method TRUE $\Leftrightarrow$ monotone CQ method TRUE.
Dressed Qubits

description: Inherent gate errors can arise in quantum computation when the actual system Hamiltonian or Hilbert space deviates from the desired one. Two important examples we address are spin-coupled quantum dots in the presence of spin-orbit perturbations to the Heisenberg exchange interaction, and off-resonant transitions of a qubit embedded in a multilevel Hilbert space. We propose a ``dressed qubit'' transformation for dealing with such inherent errors. Unlike quantum error correction, the dressed qubits method does not require additional operations or encoding redundancy, is insenstitive to error magnitude, and imposes no new experimental constraints.

Building the Infrastructure for Enhanced Publications Using DDI 3

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2010

description: There is a lot of discussion about the advantages of DDI 3, but many people wonder if it is worth all the complexity. Moving to DDI 3 involves complex structures, tools, workflows, infrastructure and expensive documentation efforts. The DatapluS project demonstrates the added value of these efforts by providing a concrete use case where publications are enriched with variable-level information about the research process. The project consists of two tools for researchers, the Enhanced Publications Editor (EPE) and the Subject portal, and the required infrastructure to integrate these tools with the data from the archives. The EPE enables authors to link their publications to datasets and variables in the archives and with additional metadata of how they did their research. The Subject Portal publishes the resulting information and uses it to provide an enhanced search interface for researchers. The strength of DatapluS is the collaboration between data archives, libraries, and research organizations. By aligning their existing responsibilities with those needed for the project, they can now serve the researchers using an efficient and sustainable infrastructure. These lessons learned show that strategic collaboration can efficiently provide advanced services and benefits for the researchers using DDI 3 infrastructure.
