description: Report Preface: A survey to identify as many farmland protection programs as possible was conducted prior to writing THE PROTECTION OF FARMLAND: A REFERENCE GUIDEBOOK FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. A group of significant programs chosen for more intensive study is presented in this volume. Each study involved careful analysis of relevant documents and a one- or two-week visit to the jurisdiction. In some instances, even longer time was spent in the field. Interviews were conducted with farmers, government personnel, civic leaders, businessmen, real estate agents, bankers, and others involved in or affected by the programs. The unstinting cooperation of those interviewed made these studies possible. Many not only gave generously of their time in interviews, but also reviewed drafts of the studies. The case study programs were chosen so that the major techniques discussed in the GUIDEBOOK would be represented. Many of the case studies deal with agricultural zoning because of its present widespread adoption, and the probability that in the future it will be adopted by many more jurisdictions. The major findings of the case studies are reported in the GUIDEBOOK, but each individual study is being made available in its entirety in this volume so that other analysts can examine them in detail.

description: The aim of this paper is to derive new representations for the Hankel and Bessel functions, exploiting the reformulation of the method of steepest descents by M. V. Berry and C. J. Howls (Berry and Howls, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A 434 (1991) 657--675). Using these representations, we obtain a number of properties of the large order asymptotic expansions of the Hankel and Bessel functions due to Debye, including explicit and realistic error bounds, asymptotics for the late coefficients, exponentially improved asymptotic expansions, and the smooth transition of the Stokes discontinuities.

Stochastic angular momentum slews and flips and their effect on discs in galaxy formation models

description: The angular momentum of galactic discs in semi-analytic models of galaxy formation is usually updated in time as material is accreted to the disc by adopting a constant dimensionless spin parameter and little attention is paid to the effects of accretion with misaligned angular momenta. These effects are the subject of this paper, where we adopt a Monte-Carlo simulation for the changes in the direction of the angular momentum of a galaxy disc as it accretes matter based on accurate measurements from dark-matter haloes in the Millennium II simulation. In our semi-analytic model implementation, the flips seen the dark matter haloes are assumed to be the same for the cold baryons; however, we also assume that in the latter the flip also entails a difficulty for the disc to increase its angular momentum which causes the disc to become smaller relative to a no-flip case. This makes star formation to occur faster, specially in low mass galaxies at all redshifts allowing galaxies to reach higher stellar masses faster. We adopt a new condition for the triggering of starbursts during mergers. As these produce the largest flips it is natural to adopt the disc instability criterion to evaluate the triggering of bursts in mergers instead of one based on mass ratios as in the original model. The new implementation reduces the average lifetimes of discs by a factor of 2, while still allowing old ages for the present-day discs of large spiral galaxies. It also provides a faster decline of star formation in massive galaxies and a better fit to the bright end of the luminosity function at z = 0.

description: We investigate the genuine multipartite nonlocality of three-mode Gaussian states of continuous variable systems. For pure states, we present a simplified procedure to obtain the maximum violation of the Svetlichny inequality based on displaced parity measurements, and we analyze its interplay with genuine tripartite entanglement measured via Renyi-2 entropy. The maximum Svetlichny violation admits tight upper and lower bounds at fixed tripartite entanglement. For mixed states, no violation is possible when the purity falls below 0.86. We also explore a set of recently derived weaker inequalities for three-way nonlocality, finding violations for all tested pure states. Our results provide a strong signature for the nonclassical and nonlocal nature of Gaussian states despite their positive Wigner function, and lead to precise recipes for its experimental verification.

description: Consider a $1$-dimensional centered Gaussian process $W$ with $α$-Hölder continuous paths on the compact intervals of $\mathbb R_+$ ($α\in ]0,1[$) and $W_0 = 0$, and $X$ the local solution in rough paths sense of Jacobi's equation driven by the signal $W$. The global existence and the uniqueness of the solution are proved via a change of variable taking into account the singularities of the vector field, because it doesn't satisfy the non-explosion condition. The regularity of the associated Itô map is studied. By using these deterministic results, Jacobi's equation is studied on probabilistic side : an ergodic theorem in L. Arnold's random dynamical systems framework, and the existence of an explicit density with respect to Lebesgue's measure for each $X_t$, $t > 0$ are proved. The paper concludes on a generalization of Morris-Lecar's neuron model, where the normalized conductance of the $\textrm{K}^+$ current is the solution of a generalized Jacobi's equation.

description: Given the risk posed by escalating climate conditions, there is a need to assess how localities integrate adaptive planning into hazard mitigation and how this is enabled or constrained by existing planning institutions. We explore this for flood planning in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas, United States – a largely underresourced and highly socioeconomically vulnerable area. Using Natural Language Processing to analyze county and regional hazard plans as well as transcripts of regional flood planning meetings, we find that adaptive planning is largely absent in the study area. Like many localities in the U.S., the communities in the study area have approached flood planning in static terms that do not fully consider future uncertainties; failed to engage diverse participation in planning; and neglected to pursue co-benefits possible with flood mitigation and other sectors. Critically, this may be a product of traditional planning institutions as well as limited local capacities.

Using Surface-Motions for Locomotion of Microscopic Robots in Viscous Fluids

description: Microscopic robots could perform tasks with high spatial precision, such as acting in biological tissues on the scale of individual cells, provided they can reach precise locations. This paper evaluates the feasibility of in vivo locomotion for micron-size robots. Two appealing methods rely only on surface motions: steady tangential motion and small amplitude oscillations. These methods contrast with common microorganism propulsion based on flagella or cilia, which are more likely to damage nearby cells if used by robots made of stiff materials. The power potentially available to robots in tissue supports speeds ranging from one to hundreds of microns per second, over the range of viscosities found in biological tissue. We discuss design trade-offs among propulsion method, speed, power, shear forces and robot shape, and relate those choices to robot task requirements. This study shows that realizing such locomotion requires substantial improvements in fabrication capabilities and material properties over current technology.

description: Small businesses are typically left out of the discourse surrounding gentrification and neighborhood displacement. However, long-term small businesses act as important cultural anchors in their neighborhoods and are a crucial component of a neighborhood’s identity. This study overviews a variety of small business anti-displacement methods that have been used in cities across the United States, such as business improvement districts, legacy business programs, cultural districts, historic preservation practices, commercial land trusts, tax incentives, small business technical assistance programs, and commercial tenant support programs. Austin, Texas has been making headlines the last few years as one of the quickest growing cities in the United States, primarily due to its newfound status as a tech and innovation hub. This paper focuses on Austin’s East Riverside neighborhood, which is poised to undergo rapid gentrification in the coming years due to its proximity to downtown, new light rail infrastructure, and a proposed 10 million square foot mixed-use development. This study seeks to examine small businesses in East Riverside and recommend programs and policies to prevent small business displacement in the coming years. Creating a business improvement district, amending the existing density bonus program in the area to support affordable retail space, using a portion of Project Connect’s anti-displacement funding to support community-led solutions, and planning for small businesses support through the light rail construction process are suggested as the best approaches for preventing small business displacement in the study area.

In the normal state of superconducting samples, it is clearly seen that there exists a crossover from metallic to semiconducting state below a temperature Tmin, which shifts to lower temperatures with increasing La content. Based on these measurements, the associated electronic phase diagram of Sr1-xLaxFBiS2 system has thus been established.

description: R-134a (C2H2F4) is a low cost, easily available and chlorine free refrigerant, which in its superheated state can be used as an efficient neutron detector. Due to its high solubility in water the R-134a based superheated droplet detectors (SDD) are usually very unstable unless the detector is fabricated using a suitable additive, which stabilizes the detector. The SDD is known to have superheated droplets distributed in a short-lived and in a relatively longer-lived metastable states. We have studied the detector response to neutrons using a 241AmBe neutron source and obtained the temperature variation of the nucleation parameters and the interstate kinetics of these droplets using a two-state model.

description: A fermion triplet of SU(2)_L - a wino - is a well-motivated dark matter candidate. This work shows that present-day wino annihilations are constrained by indirect detection experiments, with the strongest limits coming from H.E.S.S. and Fermi. The bounds on wino dark matter are presented as a function of mass for two scenarios: thermal (winos constitute a subdominant component of the dark matter for masses less than 3.1 TeV) and non-thermal (winos comprise all the dark matter). Assuming the NFW halo model, the H.E.S.S. search for gamma-ray lines excludes the 3.1 TeV thermal wino; the combined H.E.S.S. and Fermi results completely exclude the non-thermal scenario. Uncertainties in the exclusions are explored. Indirect detection may provide the only probe for models of anomaly plus gravity mediation where the wino is the lightest superpartner and scalars reside at the 100 TeV scale.

Reanimaciòn Neonatal

Publisher: name: Zenodo-HGOIA
Year: 2024

description: La reanimación neonatal es una intervención crítica en la atención de los recién nacidos, especialmente en aquellos que presentan depresión respiratoria o circulatoria al nacer. Alrededor del 10% de los recién nacidos requieren algún tipo de asistencia para iniciar la respiración, y aproximadamente  el 1% necesita maniobras avanzadas de reanimación. La transición de la vida intrauterina a la vida extrauterina es un proceso fisiológico complejo que, en algunos casos, puede verse comprometido por factores prenatales o intraparto, como la prematuridad, la asfixia perinatal o las infecciones maternas. La reanimación adecuada y oportuna puede reducir significativamente la mortalidad y morbilidad neonatal, y prevenir secuelas a largo plazo como daño neurológico. Además, en países en desarrollo, donde las tasas de mortalidad neonatal siguen siendo elevadas, la implementación de programas eficaces de reanimación puede mejorar de manera considerable los resultados perinatales. Por ello, la capacitación en técnicas de reanimación neonatal y la disponibilidad de equipos apropiados son esenciales en la sala de partos para garantizar una atención de calidad a los recién nacidos en situación crítica.

description: Sending multiple messages on qubits encoded in different vibrational modes of cold atoms or ions along a transmission waveguide requires to merge first and then separate the modes at input and output ends. Similarly, different qubits can be stored in the modes of a trap and be separated later. We design the fast splitting of a harmonic trap into an asymmetric double well so that the initial ground vibrational state becomes the ground state of one of two final wells, and the initial first excited state becomes the ground state of the other well. This might be done adiabatically by slowly deforming the trap. We speed up the process by inverse engineering a double-function trap using dynamical invariants. The separation (demultiplexing) followed by an inversion of the asymmetric bias and then by the reverse process (multiplexing) provides a population inversion protocol based solely on trap reshaping.

description: The details of what constitutes the majority of the mass that makes up dark matter in the Universe remains one of the prime puzzles of cosmology and particle physics today - eighty years after the first observational indications. Today, it is widely accepted that dark matter exists and that it is very likely composed of elementary particles - that are weakly interacting and massive (WIMPs for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles). As important as dark matter is in our understanding of cosmology, the detection of these particles has so far been elusive. Their primary properties such as mass and interaction cross sections are still unknown. Indirect detection searches for the products of WIMP annihilation or decay. This is generally done through observations of gamma-ray photons or cosmic rays. Instruments such as the Fermi-LAT, H.E.S.S., MAGIC and VERITAS, combined with the future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will provide important and complementary constraints to other search techniques. Given the expected sensitivities of all search techniques, we are at a stage where the WIMP scenario is facing stringent tests and it can be expected that WIMPs will be either be detected or the scenario will be so severely constrained that it will have to be re-thought. In this sense we are on the "Threshold of Discovery". In this article, I will give a general overview over the current status and the future expectations for indirect searches for dark matter (WIMP) particles.

description: An exclusive event generator is designed for the $e^+e^-$ scan experiments with the initial state radiation effects up to the second order correction included. There are seventy hadronic decay modes available with the effective center-of-mass energy coverage from the two pion mass threshold up to about 6 GeV. The achieved accuracy of initial state radiation correction reaches the level the generator KKMC achieved. The uncertainty associated with the calculation of correction factor to the initial state radiation is dominated by the measurements of the energy-dependence Born cross section. The generator is coded within the framework of BesEvtGen.

description: We investigate principal $G$-bundles on a compact Kähler manifold, where $G$ is a complex algebraic group such that the connected component of it containing the identity element is reductive. Defining (semi)stability of such bundles, it is shown that a principal $G$-bundle $E_G$ admits an Einstein-Hermitian connection if and only if $E_G$ is polystable. We give an equivalent formulation of the (semi)stability condition. A question is to compare this definition with that of math.AG/0506511.

title: "Immer mehr Studierende und Schüler": Konzepte zur Vermittlung von Informationskompetenz in Bibliotheken für große Gruppen
Creators: name: Luca, Helena

Year: 2012

description: Die Vermittlung von Informationskompetenz ist in vielen Bibliotheken bereits eine etablierte Kernaufgabe. Entsprechende Veranstaltungen nehmen als Zielgruppen vor allem Studierende und Schüler der Sekundarstufe II in den Blick. Dabei ergeben sich aktuell neue Herausforderungen daraus, dass einerseits beide Gruppen in den letzten Jahren immer größer werden, und andererseits das Thema Informationskompetenz aufgrund bildungspolitischer Entwicklungen wie der Bologna-Reform immer größere Bedeutung erlangt. Als Konsequenz steigt die Zahl der potenziellen und tatsächlichen Teilnehmer an bibliothekarischen Veranstaltungen zur Vermittlung von Informationskompetenz, sodass es auch Bibliotheken heute mit großen Gruppen zu tun haben. Im vorliegenden Artikel werden daher die Fragen behandelt, welche Probleme sich im Einzelnen bei die Vermittlung von Informationskompetenz im Hinblick auf Großgruppen stellen, und welche Konzepte dazu geeignet sind, diese Herausforderungen anzugehen und eine zielgruppenorientierte Vermittlung von Informationskompetenz mit geeigneten Mitteln für große Gruppen anzubieten. Verschiedene Ansätze, die sich bereits an Universitätsbibliotheken in Anwendung befinden, werden dazu hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung für Großgruppen bewertet. Die Autorin hofft damit betroffenen Bibliotheken und Bibliothekaren einige Informationen und Anregungen für die praktische Arbeit geben zu können.

Eingegangen wird dabei auf den Begriff „Exlibris“ und mögliche Alternativen. Die Frage nach sinnvollen Begrifflichkeiten hängt wiederum eng mit der Frage nach den Funktionen eines Exlibris zusammen. Es folgt deshalb die Vorstellung typischer Bildmotive, der wichtigsten Drucktechniken und Gestaltungsstile von Exlibris. Ein zweiter Teil des Aufsatzes beschäftigt sich dann mit einer Art Außensicht auf den Gegenstand Exlibris. Zum einen geht es darum, zusammenzufassen, welche Forschungsinteressen sich mit einem Exlibris verbinden lassen. Zum anderen wird eine Auswahl an Katalogen und Datenbanken vorgestellt, die Exlibris verzeichnen. Die Klammerfrage wird dabei sein, in wie fern die zur Verfügung stehenden Rechercheinstrumente eigentlich den wissenschaftlichen Interessen gerecht werden.

description: A newly discovered topological insulator (AgxPb1-xSe)5(Bi2Se3)3m, m=2, has a band gap of 0.5 eV, the largest value ever reported in topological insulators (TIs). We present a magnetoconductivity study of the Dirac electrons of this compound in the quantum diffusion regime. Two dimensional weak antilocalization was observed and identified as destructive interference caused by the Berry phase of this topological state. We find that the phase coherence length of the Dirac electrons is independent of doping and disorder levels. This provides proof for the absence of backscattering arising from the protection of time reversal invariance in TI (AgxPb1-xSe)5(Bi2Se3)3m, m=2. We further report that the homologous compound (AgxPb1-xSe)5(Bi2Se3)3m, m=1 is a superconductor with a transition temperature Tc = 1.7 K. The related structures of these two phases allow lateral intergrowth of crystals to occur naturally, offering an opportunity to observe the Majorana Fermion state at the boundary of two intergrown crystals.

description: In this work, we introduce a new family of [[6k, 2k, 2]] codes designed specifically to be compatible with adiabatic quantum computation. These codes support computationally universal sets of weight-two logical operators and are particularly well-suited for implementing dynamical decoupling error suppression. For Hamiltonians embeddable on a planar graph of fixed degree, our encoding maintains a planar connectivity graph and increase the graph degree by only two. These codes are the first known to possess these features.

description: Dieser Beitrag befasst sich mit den Bücherverbrennungen von 1933 und der Rolle, die Volks- und wissenschaftliche Bibliothekare dabei spielten. Zunächst wird der Verlauf der Bücherverbrennungen dargestellt und hierbei insbesondere auf die „Aktion wider den undeutschen Geist“ eingegangen, die maßgeblich in der Urheberschaft der „Deutschen Studentenschaft“ (DSt) organisiert und durchgeführt wurde. Im Anschluss wird die Bandbreite an bibliothekarischen Verhaltensweisen im Zusammenhang mit den Bücherverbrennungen anhand ausgewählter Beispiele beleuchtet. Die Betrachtung erfolgt getrennt nach öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken, wobei auch die offizielle Haltung der jeweiligen Berufsverbände VDV und VDB thematisiert wird. Zudem wird auf die so genannten „Schwarzen Listen“ eingegangen, die von Volksbibliothekaren erstellt wurden und zahlreiche Titel nunmehr unerwünschter Literatur enthielten. Schließlich wird neben der Mitwirkung bei der Verbrennung von Büchern auch die Rolle der Bibliothekare im Hinblick auf Bestandsaussonderungen im Falle der Volks- und auf Bestandssekretierungen im Falle der wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken eingegangen. Der Beitrag zeigt auf, dass das Verhalten der Bibliothekare zwischen Zustimmung und Ablehnung ein breites Spektrum an Ansichten und Verhaltensweisen umfasste. Verallgemeinerte Aussagen sind somit nicht möglich.

description: Coussareeae is a neotropical tribe with a complex taxonomic history. Several authors considered it very close to the tribe Psychotrieae owing to similarities in morphological characteristics, such as solitary ovules. The tribe Coussareeae constitutes the largest basal clade of the subfamily Rubioideae, and is well represented in Brazil by most of its genera. The tribe is resolved into three suprageneric clades, including Coccocypselum and Coussarea-Faramea clades, whose representatives are found in Brazil. This study aimed to ascertain whether pollen attributes corroborate the currently proposed phylogeny and systematics of the tribe. For this, pollen grains of 33 species belonging to the Coccocypselum and Coussarea-Faramea clades were analyzed. Specimens were obtained from herbaria, treated by the acetolysis method, measured, photographed, and described using light and scanning electron microscopy. Morphological analysis showed that pollen grains were medium (25–50 µm) or large (50–100 µm) in size; isopolar or apolar; 2-porate, 3-porate, or 3-colporate; and oblate spheroidal, suboblate, prolate spheroidal, or subprolate. Ornamentation varied among clade representatives. Multivariate analysis of quantitative data revealed that pollen diameter, apocolpium side, pore diameter, colpus length, and endoaperture width were the most significant characters. It can be seen from the results that the studied clades are formed by palynologically distinct genera in terms of polarity, aperture type, and ornamentation. Palynology confirms the proposed taxonomic classification.

description: Semi-Lagrangian schemes with various splitting methods, and with different reconstruction/interpolation strategies have been applied to kinetic simulations. For example, the order of spatial accuracy of the algorithms proposed in {[Qiu and Christlieb, J. Comp. Phys., 2010]} is very high (as high as ninth order). However, the temporal error is dominated by the operator splitting error, which is second order for Strang splitting. It is therefore important to overcome such low order splitting error, in order to have numerical algorithms that achieve higher orders of accuracy in both space and time. In this paper, we propose to use the integral deferred correction (IDC) method to reduce the splitting error. Specifically, the temporal order accuracy is increased by $r$ with each correction loop in the IDC framework, where $r=1,\,2$ for coupling the first order splitting and the Strang splitting, respectively. The proposed algorithm is applied to the Vlasov-Poisson system, the guiding center model, and two dimensional incompressible flow simulations in the vorticity stream-function formulation. We show numerically that the IDC procedure can automatically increase the order of accuracy in time. We also investigate numerical stability of the proposed algorithm via performing Fourier analysis to a linear model problem.
title: „Reimagining the library for the future“: Die Neukonzeption der New York Public Library (NYPL) im Kontext der Bibliothekenkrise in den USA

description: Die globale Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise hat sich früh auf Bibliotheken ausgewirkt. Das gilt insbesondere für ihr Entstehungsland, die USA. Die staatlich finanzierten Public Libraries sahen sich gleichzeitig mit sinkenden Haushalten und steigenden Nutzerzahlen konfrontiert. Doch viele Bibliothekare und Nutzer wehrten sich aktiv gegen die finanziellen Einschnitte. Mit kreativen Advocacy-Methoden mobilisierten sie die Öffentlichkeit und informierten über die Bibliothekenkrise. Auch die prestigeträchtige New York Public Library (NYPL) blieb von den Haushaltskürzungen nicht verschont. Dennoch veröffentlichte sie Anfang 2012 den so genannten Central Library Plan. Dieser beinhaltet v. a. umfangreiche Baumaßnahmen im renommierten Hauptgebäude: Der Nutzerbereich wird ausgeweitet, mehr Internet-Arbeitsplätze entstehen und erstmals zieht ein Café in das Bibliotheksgebäude ein. Um hierfür Platz zu gewinnen, soll ein Großteil der Bücher in ein Außenmagazin ausgelagert werden. Die Pläne stießen auf heftige Kritik und entfachten eine hitzige Debatte in den US-amerikanischen Medien. Über ein halbes Jahr hinweg verhandelten das NYPL-Management und die Nutzer in der Presse und in Internetforen über die Ausgestaltung ihrer Bibliothek. Dabei wurde deutlich, dass es bei der gesamten Diskussion um mehr ging als um die einzelnen Baupläne: Die Debatte spiegelte eine allgemeine Unsicherheit gegenüber der Bedeutung und Ausrichtung von Bibliotheken in der aktuellen Krise und in Zukunft wider.

description: The socially implemented digitalisation due to the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the work of the civil society in low- and middle-income countries. This study aims to understand how digitalisation during the COVID-19 pandemic has changed civil society work in low- and middle-income countries. Thus, the study conducted an online survey of such workers in 16 countries through questionnaires by an international civil society organisation and analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results revealed two digitalisation influences on the activities of civil society organisations in those countries. One was that inadequate infrastructure in Africa and Myanmar made activities difficult. Moreover, the other was the widening gap between generations for the support of digital activities from organisations. The study also showed gender disparity in leadership within organisations. Furthermore, the post-pandemic workstyle that workers expected was a hybrid style that included the analogue style in which people met face-to-face rather than through digital tools only. Thus, this study reveals that the pandemic surfaces potential inequality issues in civil society of low- and middle-income countries. The rapid digitalisation also reminds the workers of face-to-face interaction's importance. However, digitalisation in their organisations has changed the workers' workstyle to be hybrid while considering their infrastructure environments. Further, it reaffirms the significance of global partnerships in overcoming challenges. These outcomes may serve as resources for understanding the realities of digitalisation in the civil society of low- and middle-income countries. They may also be facilitators for promoting resilience-building there.

description: The Illinois Deaths in Custody Project (IDCP), an initiative including artists, scholars and community-based organizations, uses an interactive website to serve as both exhibit and memorial, and to document, archive, mourn, and share findings about the causes and rates of death of people in custody in Illinois since 2010. This chapter probes the contradiction that online activism is promising and inherently limited: Mourning is a public practice, but prisons obscure deaths, keeping grief, too, locked inside. Further, democratizing information-sharing technologies are banned within these institutions. Through collaborative research IDCP aims to erode boundaries between the physical and digital, the grievable and ungrievable, and official and personal narratives of death and mourning. Countering oppositional dichotomies and hierarchies of privileged hackers and knowledge-holders offering access to subjugated recipients, this text explores how participatory digital methods and forms can reshape the meanings, practices and boundaries of public mourning, and challenge the carceral state.

description: The style of an image plays a significant role in how it is viewed, but style has received little attention in computer vision research. We describe an approach to predicting style of images, and perform a thorough evaluation of different image features for these tasks. We find that features learned in a multi-layer network generally perform best -- even when trained with object class (not style) labels. Our large-scale learning methods results in the best published performance on an existing dataset of aesthetic ratings and photographic style annotations. We present two novel datasets: 80K Flickr photographs annotated with 20 curated style labels, and 85K paintings annotated with 25 style/genre labels. Our approach shows excellent classification performance on both datasets. We use the learned classifiers to extend traditional tag-based image search to consider stylistic constraints, and demonstrate cross-dataset understanding of style.
SOP: Registering Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs)

Human Reference Atlas

description: Digital object identifiers (DOIs) are used to uniquely identify documents, objects, and other works with a persistent identifier. DOIs are issued by the International Organization for Standardization via a DOI registration agency. HuBMAP uses the DataCite agency. To prepare a digital object and its associated metadata for DOI registration, XML files containing this metadata and a link to the raw data must be generated. The DataCite-metadata-generator can be used to compile the XML file in the DataCite schema via an open-source, customizable online form. This SOP is designed for use by MC-IU personnel who register DOIs for Human Reference Atlas digital objects. DataCite’s REST API (https://support.datacite.org/docs/api-create-doi) is used to create DOIs for digital objects included in the Human Reference Atlas. For resources such as 2D or 3D reference models, associated Anatomical Structures, Cell Types plus Biomarkers (ASCT+B) tables, the ontology crosswalk to 2D or 3D reference objects, and Organ Mapping Antibody Panels (OMAPs), resource-specific metadata is captured in an XML file format based on the metadata schema for required fields specified in the DataCite metadata schema (https://schema.datacite.org). The DataCite DOI registration process makes it possible to create a Draft DOI, for which the information remains editable and not publicly available. These are then reviewed by the DataCite Registrar (IEC). Upon approval, they are converted to a Findable status DOI (https://support.datacite.org/docs/api-create-dois). Registering DOIs using DataCite licenses associated with HuBMAP funding tags these digital objects and DOIs as recognizable and connected to the Human Reference Atlas. These digital objects will be inherited by other major institutions that can ensure their internally consistent publication and usage in the future.
