OPEUS D9.3 - Data Management Plan
Creators: name: Partner-UNEW
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The OPEUS project participates in the H2020 pilot action on open access to research data. The aim of OPEUS is to develop a simulation methodology and accompanying modelling tool to evaluate, improve and optimise the energy consumption of rail systems, with a particular focus on in-vehicle innovation. To fulfil its objectives and achieve its aim, OPEUS needs to access, collect, create, process and manage various data types. This is deliverable report D9.3 “Data Management Plan” (DMP) for the OPEUS project, providing an analysis of the main elements of the data management methodology that will be used with regard to data sets to be used by the project throughout its lifetime. In particular, the report outlines: how the research data will be handled during and after the project the types of data that to be collected and/or generated and processed the methodologies and standards to be followed whether/how the data may be shared how the data will be curated and preserved. Following the “EC Guidelines for Data Management in Horizon 2020”, the document first presents its purpose and its intended audience. A summary of the information to be collected about the data is then outlined, including a template to be used by the consortium partners to describe datasets to be collected and/or produced in the OPEUS project. The application of FAIR data principles to the OPEUS project is discussed, leading into a summary of the data security measures to be followed and the influence of any ethical aspects. This DMP is a live document which will be updated throughout the project lifetime. A formal update will be released at M30 (April 2019) of the project, as deliverable D9.4 “Data Management Implementation”. This will include more information on aspects such as dataset descriptions (including e.g. references, file formats and metadata), institutional and open access repositories used, whether/how the various data can be reused / shared, and how the data is being preserved.

description: We present evidence of a drastic renormalization of the optical conductivity of graphene on SrTiO$_3$ resulting in almost full transparency in the ultraviolet region. These findings are attributed to resonant excitonic effects further supported by \emph{ab initio} Bethe-Salpeter equation and density functional theory calculations. The ($π$,$π$*)-orbitals of graphene and Ti-3\textit{d} $t_{2g}$ orbitals of SrTiO$_3$ are strongly hybridized and the interactions of electron-hole states residing in those orbitals play dominant role in the graphene optical conductivity. These interactions are present much below the optical band gap of bulk SrTiO$_3$. These results open a possibility of manipulating interaction strengths in graphene via \textit {d}-orbitals which could be crucial for optical applications.

description: The short de Broglie wavelength and strong interaction empower free electrons to probe scattering and excitations in materials and resolve the structure of biomolecules. Recent advances in using nanophotonic structures to mediate bilinear electron-photon interaction have brought novel optical manipulation schemes to electron beams, enabling high space-time-energy resolution electron microscopy, quantum-coherent optical modulation, attosecond metrology and pulse generation, transverse electron wavefront shaping, dielectric laser acceleration, and electron-photon pair generation. However, photonic nanostructures also exhibit nonlinearities, which have to date not been exploited for electron-photon interactions. Here, we report the interaction of electrons with spontaneously generated Kerr nonlinear optical states inside a continuous-wave driven photonic chip-based microresonator. Optical parametric processes give rise to spatiotemporal pattern formation, or dissipative structures, corresponding to coherent or incoherent optical frequency combs. By coupling such microcombs in situ to electron beams, we demonstrate that different dissipative structures induce distinct fingerprints in the electron spectra and Ramsey-type interference patterns. In particular, using spontaneously formed femtosecond temporal solitons, we achieve ultrafast temporal gating of the electron beam without the necessity of a pulsed laser source or a pulsed electron source. Our work elucidates the interaction of free electrons with a variety of nonlinear dissipative states, demonstrates the ability to access solitons inside an electron microscope, and extends the use of microcombs to unexplored territories, with ramifications in novel ultrafast electron microscopy, light-matter interactions driven by on-chip temporal solitons, and ultra-high spatiotemporal resolution sampling of nonlinear optical dynamics and devices.

description: A new modality of drug targeting to tumors has been proposed. The ligand-mediated approach, that already increases the therapeutic index of the drug, can still be optimized by the encapsulation of the drug into sonosensitive nanoparticles. In this work, an endogenous ligand, estrone, was used to synthesize doxorubicin-encapsulating liposomes for estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer therapy with cyanuric chloride (2,4,6 trichloro-1,3,5 triazine) being used as a linking molecule to attach 3–OH group of estrone to the surface of liposomes. Then, drug release from liposomes was studied using ultrasound waves as a triggering mechanism with different frequencies and power densities. In addition, drug uptake by two cell lines ER-positive (MCF-7) and ER-negative (MDA-MB-231) was assessed, with the former cell line being examined later to study the synergetic effect of the receptor mediator targeting and ultrasound trigger. The sizes of the liposomes loaded with calcein (as a doxorubicin model drug) were determined by dynamic light scattering, and they were characterized as large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs). The release from the prepared liposomes triggered by ultrasound (US) waves at low frequency (20 kHz) and high frequency (1.07 and 3.24 MHz), at several power densities, was determined by monitoring the changes in calcein fluorescence, using a spectrofluorometer. Increasing power densities showed a significant effect on release at high frequencies and during the first two US pulses at low frequency. The echogenicity of the liposomes was proven and characterized at different power densities and frequencies. To confirm the viability of the carrier as a doxorubicin carrier, doxorubicin-encapsulating liposomes were prepared using the ammonium sulfate transmembrane gradient method. The liposomes were LUVs and were US-sensitive, exhibiting similar behavior to calcein-encapsulating liposomes. The calcein uptake by an ER + cell line (MCF-7) was compared with the uptake by an ER-cell line (MDA-MB-231). The MCF-7 uptake was significantly higher than the MDA-MB-231 uptake, which proved the targeting potential of estrone-conjugated liposomes. The exposure to low-frequency ultrasound (LFUS) revealed a statistically significant uptake of calcein compared to uptake without ultrasound. The described drug delivery (DD) system, comprising a new echogenic liposomal formulation, promises a non-immunogenic and site-specific biomedical approach to ER-positive breast cancer therapy.

description: Paleoseismites, in the form of clastic dikes and sills and convolute bedding record syndepositional tectonism prior to lithification, fold growth, and onset of major orogenic events. The Elk Basin anticline, located in the northern portion of the Bighorn Basin, contains paleoseismites in Campanian strata along its eastern (forelimb) and western (back limb) margins. In the shallow-marine Telegraph Creek and Claggett formations, convolute bedding typically involves individual sandstone beds with vertical to overturned strata on either side of a nearly vertical vent, whereas the nonmarine Eagle Formation contains planar clastic dikes and sills, derived from liquefied sand-source beds, and convoluted bedding involving distorted laminae. Planar clastic dikes and sills were injected upward and laterally across overlying strata, and along pre-existing, nearly vertical, near-surface joints. Geographically, clastic dikes and sills are present only in the central portion of the anticline, while convoluted-bedding is present in the central and southern portions. Comparison of 145 clastic-dike measurements with 61 previously reported Laramide joint-set orientations for the Elk Basin demonstrate trends to be similar. Clastic dikes preferentially fill cross joints oriented normal to the axial trace of the anticline, while strike joints illustrate a dominant later Laramide joint set oriented subparallel to the axial trace. Paleoseismite formation is consistent with ~ M 5.5 earthquakes during earliest Laramide deformation associated with development of the Elk Basin thrust fault, whereas strike joints formed during subsequent Laramide deformation after burial and cementation of Campanian strata.

description: We present high-resolution rotation curves and mass models of 26 dwarf galaxies from LITTLE THINGS. LITTLE THINGS is a high-resolution Very Large Array HI survey for nearby dwarf galaxies in the local volume within 11 Mpc. The rotation curves of the sample galaxies derived in a homogeneous and consistent manner are combined with Spitzer archival 3.6 micron and ancillary optical U, B, and V images to construct mass models of the galaxies. We decompose the rotation curves in terms of the dynamical contributions by baryons and dark matter halos, and compare the latter with those of dwarf galaxies from THINGS as well as Lambda CDM SPH simulations in which the effect of baryonic feedback processes is included. Being generally consistent with THINGS and simulated dwarf galaxies, most of the LITTLE THINGS sample galaxies show a linear increase of the rotation curve in their inner regions, which gives shallower logarithmic inner slopes alpha of their dark matter density profiles. The mean value of the slopes of the 26 LITTLE THINGS dwarf galaxies is alpha =-0.32 +/- 0.24 which is in accordance with the previous results found for low surface brightness galaxies (alpha = -0.2 +/- 0.2) as well as the seven THINGS dwarf galaxies (alpha =-0.29 +/- 0.07). However, this significantly deviates from the cusp-like dark matter distribution predicted by dark-matter-only Lambda CDM simulations. Instead our results are more in line with the shallower slopes found in the Lambda CDM SPH simulations of dwarf galaxies in which the effect of baryonic feedback processes is included. In addition, we discuss the central dark matter distribution of DDO 210 whose stellar mass is relatively low in our sample to examine the scenario of inefficient supernova feedback in low mass dwarf galaxies predicted from recent Lambda SPH simulations of dwarf galaxies where central cusps still remain.

description: The development of magnetic nanoparticles as delivery carriers to magnetically accumulate anticancer drug in cancer tissue has attracted immense interest. In the present study, magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MMSNs) with magnetite core and silica shell were synthesized. The obtained MMSNs were characterized by DLS, XRD, FT-IR, TEM and VSM in order to investigate the nanoparticle characteristics. With the focus on in vivo validation of such magnetic drug delivery systems, we selected epirubicin (EPI) as the drug. The anticancer properties of EPI-loaded MMSNs were evaluated in a C-26 colon carcinoma model. Alongside monitoring of drug in the tissues with animal imaging system, the tissue distribution was also determined quantitavely. The average size of MMSNs determined with TEM images was about 18.68 ± 2.31 nm. The cellular uptake test indicated that geometric mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of cells treated with MMSN + EPI in presence of external magnetic field was increasing 27% compared with free EPI. In addition, treatment with drug-loaded MMSNs with the aid of external magnetic gradient had significantly higher inhibition efficacy towards tumor growth than the free EPI treated mice. The targeted drug delivery through external magnet-attraction using EPI-loaded MMSNs resulted in high tumor cell uptake, which leads to elimination of cancer cells effectively.

description: IR cameras are widely used for temperature measurements in various applications, including agriculture, medicine, and security. Low-cost IR cameras have the immense potential to replace expensive radiometric cameras in these applications; however, low-cost microbolometer-based IR cameras are prone to spatially variant nonuniformity and to drift in temperature measurements, which limit their usability in practical scenarios.
 To address these limitations, we propose a novel approach for simultaneous temperature estimation and nonuniformity correction (NUC) from multiple frames captured by low-cost microbolometer-based IR cameras. We leverage the camera's physical image-acquisition model and incorporate it into a deep-learning architecture termed kernel prediction network (KPN), which enables us to combine multiple frames despite imperfect registration between them. We also propose a novel offset block that incorporates the ambient temperature into the model and enables us to estimate the offset of the camera, which is a key factor in temperature estimation.
 Our findings demonstrate that the number of frames has a significant impact on the accuracy of the temperature estimation and NUC. Moreover, introduction of the offset block results in significantly improved performance compared to vanilla KPN. The method was tested on real data collected by a low-cost IR camera mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle, showing only a small average error of $0.27-0.54^\circ C$ relative to costly scientific-grade radiometric cameras.
 Our method provides an accurate and efficient solution for simultaneous temperature estimation and NUC, which has important implications for a wide range of practical applications.

description: The incorporation of soft hydrophilic particles at the interface of water in non-polar oil emulsion droplets is crucial for several applications. However, the stabilization of water in non-polar oil emulsions with hydrophilic soft material alone is, besides certain exceptions, not possible. In our previous works, we showed that stabilizing the emulsions with well-characterized spherical hydrophobic silica nanospheres (SNs) and soft equally charged microgel particles (MGs) is a robust strategy to stabilize w/o emulsions while still incorporating a large amount of MGs at the interface. In the present study, we address the question of what the maximum amount of MGs at the interface in these kinds of emulsion droplets can be. By using well-characterized mono-disperse SNs, we are able to calculate the fraction of interface covered by the SNs and complementary that of the present MG. We found that it is not possible to decrease the SN coverage below 56% irrespective of MG softness and SN size. The findings elucidate new perspectives to the broader topic of soft/solid stabilized emulsions.

description: The engineering community currently encounters significant challenges in the development of intelligent transportation algorithms that can be transferred from simulation to reality with minimal effort. This can be achieved by robustifying the algorithms using domain adaptation methods and/or by adopting cutting-edge tools that help support this objective seamlessly. This work presents AutoDRIVE, an openly accessible digital twin ecosystem designed to facilitate synergistic development, simulation and deployment of cyber-physical solutions pertaining to autonomous driving technology; and focuses on bridging the autonomy-oriented simulation-to-reality (sim2real) gap using the proposed ecosystem. In this paper, we extensively explore the modeling and simulation aspects of the ecosystem and substantiate its efficacy by demonstrating the successful transition of two candidate autonomy algorithms from simulation to reality to help support our claims: (i) autonomous parking using probabilistic robotics approach; (ii) behavioral cloning using deep imitation learning. The outcomes of these case studies further strengthen the credibility of AutoDRIVE as an invaluable tool for advancing the state-of-the-art in autonomous driving technology.

Crustal-scale shortening structures beneath the Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina, USA
Creators: name: Wagner, L.S.

name: Stewart, K.
Publisher: name: Geological Society of America
Year: 2012

description: We present results from a new seismic data set that show evidence for crustal-scale shortening structures beneath the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Southern Appalachians. The data come from six broadband seismic stations deployed on a transect across the Piedmont and Blue Ridge of western North Carolina. The observed structures appear as both a Moho hole and doubled Moho in receiver function CCP (Common Conversion Point) stacks oriented roughly perpendicular to the trend of the Appalachian orogen. We interpret these features as evidence for tectonic wedging and associated delamination and underthrusting of Laurentian lithosphere beneath a crustal indenter. The Moho hole and underlying deeper Moho correspond closely to a significant regional Bouguer gravity anomaly low, which we interpret as being due to overthickened, normal-density crustal material. Beneath the indenter, we observe a double Moho, which may correspond to the partial eclogitization of the underthrust material. This would be consistent with the sharp increase in the observed gravity above this feature. In addition to these crustal structures, we see evidence for a mantle lithospheric discontinuity at 90-100 km depth. This increase in velocity with depth is spatially limited and may dip slightly to the west, though more data are needed to verify this result. We interpret this anomaly to be a fossil slab accreted onto Laurentian lithosphere. If the westward dip is accurate, this slab may be a remnant of a west-vergent subduction zone that was active during the accretion of Carolinia.

description: We study the nucleon-pion-state contribution to the QCD two-point function of the standard nucleon interpolating fields. For sufficiently small quark masses these two-particle states are expected to have a smaller total energy than the single-particle excited states. We calculate the nucleon-pion-state contribution to leading order in chiral perturbation theory. Both parity channels are considered. We find the nucleon-pion-state contribution to be small, contributing at the few percent level to the effective mass in the positive parity channel.

description: We demonstrate fast readout of a double quantum dot (DQD) that is coupled to a superconducting resonator. Utilizing parametric amplification in a nonlinear operational mode, we improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by a factor of 2000 compared to the situation with the parametric amplifier turned off. With an integration time of 400 ns we achieve a SNR of 76. By studying SNR as a function of the integration time we extract an equivalent charge sensitivity of 8 x 10^{-5} e/root(Hz). The high SNR allows us to acquire a DQD charge stability diagram in just 20 ms. At such a high data rate, it is possible to acquire charge stability diagrams in a live "video-mode," enabling real time tuning of the DQD confinement potential.

title: Painful Aesthetics: Embodiment, Appropriation, and Fame in the Production of a Global Tattoo Community
Creators: name: Siorat, Cyril
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2010

description: This study is concerned with the ways in which a number of individuals, from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds, create and maintain a series of networks on a global stage based on the shared practice and business of tattooing. Tattoo artists and their fans are all involved in numerous interlinked movements during which they engage in a succession of exchange relationships with tattooees but also with other tattoo artists. The two main locations this research focuses on are the island of Moorea in French Polynesia and Northern Europe. The research considers the importance of events such as international tattoo conventions and festivals in the determination of status in the hierarchical structure of the global tattoo community on both the local but also global levels. Despite the creation of a global community, such cross-cultural interactions are not without raising issues regarding cultural appropriation and claims to a particular local authenticity. In that sense, the global tattoo community is involved in several tensions as well as numerous collaborative projects and business partnerships. It is through all these transactional processes that this community can take form for individuals from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds. Tattoos enable individuals to act upon others' decision making, to entice them into an exchange relationship which will inevitably create some form of reciprocity, and a dialogical process of creation and maintenance of personal and collective valuation. This is because both parties become reciprocal agents of each other's value definition. Some chapters look at individuals and their actions on both the local and global stages, while others review the role of the tattoo media and of other publications related to the tattooing practice in this process of representation and creation of a global tattoo community.

On average in the UK, 23% of travel time is lost in connections for trips with more than one mode, and the lack of synchronization decreases very slowly with population size. This lack of synchronization between modes induces differences between the theoretical quickest trip and the `time-respecting' path, which takes into account waiting times at interconnection nodes. We analyse here the statistics of these paths on the multilayer, temporal network of the entire, multimodal british public transportation system. We propose a statistical decomposition -- the `anatomy' -- of trips in urban areas, in terms of riding, waiting and walking times, and which shows how the temporal structure of trips varies with distance and allows us to compare different cities. Weaknesses in systems can be either insufficient transportation speed or service frequency, but the key parameter controlling their global efficiency is the total number of stop events per hour for all modes. This analysis suggests the need for better optimization strategies, adapted to short, long unimodal or multimodal trips.

description: Study region: This paper provides a summary of findings from temporal and spatial studies of soil water content on planar hillslopes across the equatorial island of San Cristóbal, Galápagos (Ecuador). Study focus: Soil water content (SWC) was measured to generate temporal and spatial records to determine seasonal variation and to investigate how the behavior of surface and near-surface root-zone soil water may support island-wide hydrogeology models. SWC probes were installed at four weather stations in a climosequence to generate a temporal record, and spatial surveys of shallow SWC across the selected sites were completed during wet and dry seasons. Temporal differences in SWC were driven by seasonal variations in rainfall and evapotranspiration, while spatial variability remained high during both wet and dry seasons. Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity determined by mini-disk infiltrometers was highly variable across the slopes, as were other hydrologic variables. New hydrological insights for the region: The high heterogeneity of soil water and hydrologic characteristics provides a means to explain why little runoff is observed at the study sites: soils do not saturate uniformly across hillslopes, allowing for runoff generated in one part of the hillslope to be conducted into the soil in adjacent parts of the hillslope. The lack of connected surface runoff helps explain how water enters the groundwater system of the island.

description: The fast-paced conflicts in the Middle East can disrupt management and supply of water, particularly on dams and barrages along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers that have experienced threats or changes in sovereignty. Water supply is also under pressure from upstream water management, drought, and structural decline. In this research, we used a satellite-based algorithm, the normalized difference water index (NDWI), to monitor changes in the extent of surface reservoirs (1985-present). We compared the timeline of reservoir fluctuations with the timeline of events related to conflicts, droughts, and dam management. Our results show that the most sudden changes in water supply occurred during events related to conflict, but conflict was not often a cause of the greatest absolute changes to reservoir area. Though not as precise as on-the-ground information, satellite data can give insights to water supply when conflict has disrupted the flow of information or restricted on-the-ground data collection.

description: Understanding how external stimuli are encoded in distributed neural activity is of significant interest in clinical and basic neuroscience. To address this need, it is essential to develop analytical tools capable of handling limited data and the intrinsic stochasticity present in neural data. In this study, we propose a straightforward Bayesian time series classifier (BTsC) model that tackles these challenges whilst maintaining a high level of interpretability. We demonstrate the classification capabilities of this approach by utilizing neural data to decode colors in a visual task. The model exhibits consistent and reliable average performance of 75.55% on 4 patients' dataset, improving upon state-of-the-art machine learning techniques by about 3.0 percent. In addition to its high classification accuracy, the proposed BTsC model provides interpretable results, making the technique a valuable tool to study neural activity in various tasks and categories. The proposed solution can be applied to neural data recorded in various tasks, where there is a need for interpretable results and accurate classification accuracy.
Quantum Impurity in a One-dimensional Trapped Bose Gas

description: We present a new theoretical framework for describing an impurity in a trapped Bose system in one spatial dimension. The theory handles any external confinement, arbitrary mass ratios, and a weak interaction may be included between the Bose particles. To demonstrate our technique, we calculate the ground state energy and properties of a sample system with eight bosons and find an excellent agreement with numerically exact results. Our theory can thus provide definite predictions for experiments in cold atomic gases.

description: We examine a class of operations for topological quantum computation based on fusing and measuring topological charges for systems with SU$(2)_4$ or $k=4$ Jones-Kauffman anyons. We show that such operations augment the braiding operations, which, by themselves, are not computationally universal. This augmentation results in a computationally universal gate set through the generation of an exact, topologically protected irrational phase gate and an approximate, topologically protected controlled-$Z$ gate.

description: We study the formation and evolution of the cosmic web, using the high-resolution CosmoGrid \$Λ\$CDM simulation. In particular, we investigate the evolution of the large-scale structure around void halo groups, and compare this to observations of the VGS-31 galaxy group, which consists of three interacting galaxies inside a large void. The structure around such haloes shows a great deal of tenuous structure, with most of such systems being embedded in intra-void filaments and walls. We use the Nexus+ algorithm to detect walls and filaments in CosmoGrid, and find them to be present and detectable at every scale. The void regions embed tenuous walls, which in turn embed tenuous filaments. We hypothesize that the void galaxy group of VGS-31 formed in such an environment.

description: We present the performance of a γγ-coincidence spectrometer for measuring the activities of thorium and uranium daughters in environmental samples. The spectrometer consists of two NaI(Tl) detectors facing each other inside a low-background passive shield. We present coincidence gating schemes for achieving the best signal-to-noise ratios, coincidence detection efficiencies, background levels, and minimum detectable activities. The spectrometer is simulated using Geant4 to correct sample efficiencies for self-absorption effects. The device is used to measure thorium and uranium daughter activities in Brazil nuts, potting mix, and magazine paper. Our results for Brazil nuts agree with some, but not all, previous measurements. Thorium or uranium daughter activities have previously not been reported for commercial potting mix. For magazine paper, our measured activities are lower than most previously determined values.
