description: An important issue is that the respiratory mortality may be a result of air pollution which can be measured by the following variables: temperature, relative humidity, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrocarbons, ozone and particulates. The usual way is to fit a model using the ordinary least squares regression, which has some assumptions, also known as Gauss-Markov assumptions, on the error term showing white noise process of the regression model. However, in many applications, especially for this example, these assumptions are not satisfied. Therefore, in this study, a quantile regression approach is used to model the respiratory mortality using the mentioned explanatory variables. Moreover, improved estimation techniques such as preliminary testing and shrinkage strategies are also obtained when the errors are autoregressive. A Monte Carlo simulation experiment, including the quantile penalty estimators such as Lasso, Ridge and Elastic Net, is designed to evaluate the performances of the proposed techniques. Finally, the theoretical risks of the listed estimators are given.

Affine Algebras, $N{=}2$ Superconformal Algebras, and Gauged WZNW Models

description: We find a canonical $N{=}2$ superconformal algebra (SCA) in the BRST complex associated to any affine Lie algebra $\hat{\mathbf{h}}$ with $\mathbf{h}$ semisimple. In contrast with the similar known results for the Virasoro, $N{=}1$ supervirasoro, and $W_3$ algebras, this SCA does not depend on the particular "matter" representation chosen. Therefore it follows that every gauged WZNW model with data $(\mathbf{g}\supset\mathbf{h}, k)$ has an $N{=}2$ SCA with central charge $c=3\dim\mathbf{g}$ independent of the level $k$. In particular, this associates to every embedding $sl(2) \subset \mathbf{g}$ a one-parameter family of $c{=}9$ $N{=}2$ supervirasoro algebras. As a by-product of the construction, one can deduce a new set of "master equations" for generalized $N{=}2$ supervirasoro constructions which is simpler than the one considered thus far.

description: In this letter, it is shown numerically that in plane Poiseuille flow and before the threshold of equilibrium turbulence defined by the directed-percolation universality class, a sparse turbulent state in form of localized turbulent band can sustain either by continuous increase of the turbulence fraction due to band extension when the flow domain is large enough, or by a dynamic balance between the band extension and the band breaking and decay caused by the band interaction in a finite domain. The width and tilt angle of the band keep statistically invariant during its oblique extension, a process which is not sensitive to random disturbances.

A Possible Evolutionary Connection between AGN and Starburst in LINERs

description: Our analysis on the two magnitude-limited samples of LINERs suggests a correlation between $L_{\FIR}/L_{\B}$ or f(25\micron)/f(60\micron), and Hubble-type index at $>$99.99% significance level. As $L_{\FIR}/L_{\B}$ and f(25\micron)/f(60\micron) are considered as the indicators of star-formation activity and AGN activity, respectively, our result suggests that LINERs with higher AGN activity may have a lower star-formation contribution. The ones with highest AGN activity and lowest star-formation contributions are ellipticals. All well-studied LINER 1s belong to this group. On the other hand, LINERs with higher star-formation activity present lower AGN contributions. We find all well-studied LINER 2s in this parameter space. Most of LINERs having inner ring structures belong to this group. Statistics with other indicators of star-formation or AGN activity (nulear mass-to-light ratio at H band, and the ratio of X-ray-to-UV power) provide further evidence for such a trend. We have seen that along with the evolution of galaxies from late-type spirals to early-type ones, and up to ellipticals, the intensity of AGN activity increases with decreasing star-formation contributions, The above analyses may suggest a possible connection between the host galaxies and nuclear activities, and it might also indicate a possible evolutionary connection between AGN and starburst in LINERs.

description: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of technology-utilising rehabilitation on different intensities of physical activity (PA) and determine the explanatory factors of PA change. This was a prospective cohort study. Cardiac, musculoskeletal and vocational rehabilitees (N = 36) had 6 months of rehabilitation, which included guided training and counselling face-to-face as well as through distance technology. PA (total, light, moderate, vigorous) was measured by an activity tracker. Biopsychosocial questionnaires, waist circumference, PA measurements and m-coach activity were used to determine the factors that influence PA change. Technology-utilising rehabilitation improved light PA (+20 min/d, 95% CI 4–35 min/d, p = 0.002). Within subgroups, only cardiac rehabilitees improved their light physical activity (LPA) (p = 0.014), but the change was not significantly different compared with subgroups. There were no differences in the change in moderate, vigorous or total PA in either the study group or the subgroups. The improvement of LPA was related to lower age (p = 0.004) and lower activity (p = 0.004) at the baseline, impairments in experienced psychological health (p = 0.016) and satisfaction with social relationships (p = 0.014), improved satisfaction with environment (p = 0.002), strengthened significance of exercise (p = 0.037) and weakened pleasure of exercise (p = 0.040). The model explained 47% of the variation in the change in LPA. Technology-utilising PA training seems to be a complex phenomenon in the rehabilitation context that is related to both biopsychosocial and environmental factors. This should be considered in future PA research and rehabilitation.

description: Jupyter Notebooks (JNs) have been widely used in research and data science. Despite their extensive usage, there are several challenges in making JNs FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). A plausible approach is to use FAIR principles to ensure the appropriate use of JNs, and to benefit both creators and users. However, FAIR principles are high-level aspirations in making research robust and can be difficult to apply in practice. To address this problem, a team of specialists in the research sector brainstormed to formulate an approach. They concluded that this problem can be addressed by creating a practical guide with an example of FAIR JN. Hence a guide is created using existing initiatives like the FAIR for Research Software (FAIR4RS) and relevant facets of publicly available FAIR best practices.

As a result, the guide makes recommendations addressing each component of FAIR. Such as the findable (F) component is addressed by making JN broadly available by storing it on  version control repositories such as Github or Gitlab. While the other FAIR components can be addressed by adding appropriate licensing, containers for reproducibility and persistent identifiers (DOI). The outcome of this work is a guide specific to JNs that addresses the broad usage of JNs in research with various programming languages like (Python, R, Julia, etc.,) and have unique reproducibility requirements. Additionally, platforms like JN and Binder Hub services make JNs reproducible and user friendly. This guide will be made openly available to the research community via ARDC's website.

We identify distinct elastic regimes in which the contributions of either filament bending or stretching to the macroscopic modulus vanish. We also show that our effective medium theory predicts a crossover between affine and non-affine strain, consistent with both prior numerical studies and scaling theory.

Studying the ICM in clusters of galaxies via surface brightness fluctuations of the cosmic X-ray background

description: We study the surface brightness fluctuations of the cosmic X-ray background (CXB) using Chandra data of XBOOTES. After masking out resolved sources we compute the power spectrum of fluctuations of the unresolved CXB for angular scales from ~2 arcsec to ~3 deg. The non-trivial large-scale structure (LSS) signal dominates over the shot-noise of unresolved point sources at all scales above ~1 arcmin and is produced mainly by the intracluster medium (ICM) of unresolved clusters and groups of galaxies, as shown in our previous publication. The shot-noise-subtracted power spectrum of CXB fluctuations has a power-law shape with the slope of $Γ= 0.96 \pm 0.06$. Its energy spectrum is well described by the redshifted emission spectrum of optically-thin plasma with the best-fit temperature of $T \approx 1.3$ keV and the best-fit redshift of $z \approx 0.40$. They are in good agreement with theoretical expectations based on the X-ray luminosity function and scaling relations of clusters. From these values we estimate the typical mass and luminosity of the objects responsible for CXB fluctuations, $M_{500} \sim 10^{13.6}\,{\rm M}_{\odot}/h$ and $L_{0.5-2.0\,{\rm keV}} \sim 10^{42.5}$ erg/s. On the other hand, the flux-weighted mean temperature and redshift of resolved clusters are $T \approx 2.4$ keV and $z \approx 0.23$, confirming that fluctuations of unresolved CXB are caused by cooler (i.e. less massive) and more distant clusters, as expected. We show that the power spectrum shape is sensitive to the ICM structure all the way to the outskirts, out to $\sim{\rm few}\times R_{500}$. We also look for possible contribution of the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) to the observed CXB fluctuations. Our results underline the significant diagnostics potential of the CXB fluctuation analysis in studying the ICM structure in clusters.

description: Presentation 'Experiences from dealing with missing values in sensor time series data' at useR! Conference 2019 in Toulouse, France. Abstract: Sensors are omnipresent in our modern world. From manufacturing industry, nance, up to biology in nearly every domain sensors provide us with essential information. Although everybody seems to be well-equipped with sensors, operating these can be error prone. Especially missing values are a problem often encountered. Since follow-up analysis and processes often require complete data, missing data replacement ('imputation ') is needed as a preprocessing step. In this talk we will give insights about our experiences on handling missing data in several industry related projects. We will also give a short introduction to the imputeTS package, which we developed as a result of these experiences. Imputation itself is a well-established area in statistical surveys and CRAN offers a surprisingly large choice of packages (i.a. 'mice ', 'missMDA ', 'Amelia '). However, there are differences between imputation for statistical surveys and sensor time series. We will discuss typical problems arising with missing data imputation in sensor time series and also present for which kind of data / missing data patterns / missing data mechanisms imputation proved to be successful. Overall, this talk is supposed to provide a first glance at sensor data imputation in R along with giving an introduction to the imputeTS package.

GBR modelling in the cloud: the architecture of eReefs RECOM2
Creators: name: Tickell, Sharon
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The eReefs RElocatable COastal Modelling service (RECOM) is a web-based application that allows non-specialist researchers and managers to configure and run high-resolution hydrodynamic and biogeochemical models for custom coastal locations or individual reefs within the Great Barrier Reef (GBR).

eReefs RECOM2 was released in May 2023 as a ground-up rewrite of the original eReefs RECOM1 platform.   RECOM2 is API-driven, containerised, cloud-agnostic, hosted with a public cloud provider, and can be easily scaled-up in response to demand.

The public cloud deployment posed some interesting architectural challenges related to ensuring the models could access and subset the large (tens of TB) forcing datasets which are needed to allow RECOM models to be created for anywhere on the GBR when the model software was written assuming that forcing data would always be on a local posix filesystem.

Our solution involves object-storage systems, a Lustre filesystem cache, Python intake catalogs and Snakemake workflow templates. It not only makes the at-scale, on-demand operation of eReefs RECOM2 possible, but also had the happy side-effect that a RECOM model configured via the web user interface can be transferred to a HPC environment and run offline by power users that want to extend our default model configuration.

This poster shows our technology stack and how it works in practice.

Geometrical estimators as a test of Gaussianity in the CMB

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: We investigate the power of geometrical estimators on detecting non-Gaussianity in the cosmic microwave background. In particular the number, eccentricity and Gaussian curvature of excursion sets above (and below) a threshold are studied. We compare their different performance when applied to non-Gaussian simulated maps of small patches of the sky, which take into account the angular resolution and instrumental noise of the Planck satellite. These non-Gaussian simulations are obtained as perturbations of a Gaussian field in two different ways which introduce a small level of skewness or kurtosis in the distribution. A comparison with a classical estimator, the genus, is also shown. We find that the Gaussian curvature is the best of our estimators in all the considered cases. Therefore we propose the use of this quantity as a particularly useful test to look for non-Gaussianity in the CMB.

description: The magnetic phases of a triangular-lattice antiferromagnet, CuCrO$_2$, were investigated in magnetic fields along to the $c$ axis, $H$ // [001], up to 120 T. Faraday rotation and magneto-absorption spectroscopy were used to unveil the rich physics of magnetic phases. An up-up-down (UUD) magnetic structure phase was observed around 90--105 T at temperatures around 10 K. Additional distinct anomalies adjacent to the UUD phase were uncovered and the Y-shaped and the V-shaped phases are proposed to be viable candidates. These ordered phases are emerged as a result of the interplay of geometrical spin frustration, single ion anisotropy and thermal fluctuations in an environment of extremely high magnetic fields.

description: We present the results of an unbiased radio search for gravitational lensing events with image separations between 15 and 60 arcsec, which would be associated with clusters of galaxies with masses >10^{13-14}M_{\sun}. A parent population of 1023 extended radio sources stronger than 35 mJy with stellar optical identifications was selected using the FIRST radio catalogue at 1.4 GHz and the APM optical catalogue. The FIRST catalogue was then searched for companions to the parent sources stronger than 7 mJy and with separation in the range 15 to 60 arcsec. Higher resolution observations of the resulting 38 lens candidates were made with the VLA at 1.4 GHz and 5 GHz, and with MERLIN at 5 GHz in order to test the lens hypothesis in each case. None of our targets was found to be a gravitational lens system. These results provide the best current constraint on the lensing rate for this angular scale, but improved calculations of lensing rates from realistic simulations of the clustering of matter on the relevant scales are required before cosmologically significant constraints can be derived from this null result. We now have an efficient, tested observational strategy with which it will be possible to make an order-of-magnitude larger unbiased search in the near future.

description: Aiming to study GRB engine duration, we present numerical simulations to investigate collapsar jets. We consider typical explosion energy ($10^{52}$ erg) but different engine durations, in the widest domain to date from 0.1 to 100 s. We employ an AMR 2D hydrodynamical code. Our results show that engine duration strongly influences jet nature. We show that the efficiency of launching and collimating relativistic outflow increases with engine duration, until the intermediate engine range where it is the highest, past this point to long engine range, the trend is slightly reversed; we call this point where acceleration and collimation are the highest "sweet spot" ($\sim$10 -- 30 s). Moreover, jet energy flux shows that variability is also high in this duration domain. We argue that not all engine durations can produce the collimated, relativistic and variable long GRB-jets. Considering a typical progenitor and engine energy, we conclude that the ideal engine duration to reproduce a long GRB is $\sim$10 -- 30 s, where the launch of relativistic, collimated and variable jets is favored. We note that this duration domain makes a good link with Lazzati et al. (2013), which suggested that the bulk of BATSE's long GRBs is powered by $\sim$10 -- 20 s collapsar engines.

description: Microgrids with distributed energy resources are being favored in various communities to lower the dependence on utility-supplied energy and cut the CO2 emissions from coal-based power plants. This paper presents a co-optimization strategy for distributed energy resource planning to minimize total annualized cost at the maximal fuel savings. Furthermore, the proposed scheme aids the community microgrids in satisfying the requirements of U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and state renewable energy mandates. The method of Lagrange multipliers is employed to maximize fuel savings by satisfying Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions. With the Fourier transform and particle swarm optimization, the right mix of distributed energy resources is determined to decrease the annualized cost. A case study to test the proposed scheme for a community microgrid is presented. To validate its effectiveness, an economic justification of the solution and its comparison with HOMER Pro are also illustrated.

description: Motivated by the possibility of an effective string description for the infrared limit of pure Yang-Mills theory, we present a toy model for an effective theory of random surfaces propagating in a target space of $D>2$. We show that the scaling exponents for the fixed area partition function of the theory are apparently well behaved. We make some observations regarding the usefulness of this toy model.

description: This review arose from the European Radio Astronomy Technical Forum (ERATec) meeting held in Firenze, October 2015, and aims to highlight the breadth and depth of the high-impact science that will be aided and assisted by the use of simultaneous mm-wavelength receivers. Recent results and opportunities are presented and discussed from the fields of: continuum VLBI (observations of weak sources, astrometry, observations of AGN cores in spectral index and Faraday rotation), spectral line VLBI (observations of evolved stars and massive star-forming regions) and time domain observations of the flux variations arising in the compact jets of X-ray binaries. Our survey brings together a large range of important science applications, which will greatly benefit from simultaneous observing at mm-wavelengths. Such facilities are essential to allow these applications to become more efficient, more sensitive and more scientifically robust. In some cases without simultaneous receivers the science goals are simply unachievable. Similar benefits would exist in many other high frequency astronomical fields of research.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The Research Data Alliance (RDA) is celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2023. Founded in 2013, the RDA now has over 13,500 members and over 100 active working groups (WG) and Interest Groups (IG) globally. As a community-driven initiative, RDA has an inclusive, community-driven approach covering all data lifecycle stages through the engagement of data producers, users and stewards globally.

RDA has been commemorating this important 10 year milestone through a series of regionally and internationally hosted events and activities dedicated to specific monthly research data management themes. The global community has embraced the opportunity to hold a wide range of events, including webinars, podcasts, workshops and seminars addressing specific research data management topics and bringing together audiences to discuss an array of challenges, solutions and initiatives. A wide range of publicly available resources has emerged from these activities and are available via the RDA website.

As an Organisational Member of RDA, the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) is committed to the development of the Research Data Community and has provided a dedicated RDA Community Development Manager (CDM) based in Australia. With a focus on growing the RDA community in the Australasian region, the CDM delivers events and opportunities to connect with RDA and ARDC, and raises awareness of relevant activities and outputs.

This poster overviews RDA's 10th Anniversary events and achievements, highlights a wide range of outcomes and resources, looks ahead to what's next for the regional RDA community and offers opportunities for connecting in person at eResearch Australasia.

description: Christopher J. Richmann has written a book on F.F. Bosworth and pentecostalism that far exceeds all previous research on the healing evangelist, who is widely known for his classic, Christ the Healer (1924). The book, which is titled, Living in Bible Times: F.F. Bosworth and the Pentecostal Pursuit of the Supernatural (Pickwick Publications, 2020), is a timely biography that shows in convincing terms how Bosworth played a major role in the Pentecostal movement of the early 1900s and later in the post-World War II.
High column densities and low extinctions of gamma-ray bursts: Evidence for hypernovae and dust destruction

description: We analyze a complete sample of gamma-ray burst afterglows, and find X-ray evidence for high column densities of gas around them. The column densities are in the range 1e+22-1e+23/cm2, which is right around the average column density of Galactic giant molecular clouds. We also estimate the cloud sizes to be 10-30 pc, implying masses greater than about 1e+5 solar masses. This strongly suggests that gamma-ray bursts lie within star forming regions, and therefore argues against neutron star mergers and for collapses of massive stars as their sources. The optical extinctions, however, are 10-100 times smaller than expected from the high column densities. This confirms theoretical findings that the early hard radiation from gamma-ray bursts and their afterglows can destroy the dust in their environment, thus carving a path for the afterglow light out of the molecular cloud. Because of the self-created low extinction and location in star-forming regions, we expect gamma-ray bursts to provide a relatively unbiased sample of high-redshift star formation. Thus they may help resolve what is the typical environment of high-redshift star formation.

description: We consider random fields indexed by finite subsets of an amenable discrete group, taking values in the Banach-space of bounded right-continuous functions. The field is assumed to be equivariant, local, coordinate-wise monotone, and almost additive, with finite range dependence. Using the theory of quasi-tilings we prove an uniform ergodic theorem, more precisely, that averages along a Foelner sequence converge uniformly to a limiting function. Moreover we give explicit error estimates for the approximation in the sup norm.
