Year: 2015
Subjects: DMP, Data management plan, Open Research Data Pilot

description: The AUTOPOST project participates in H2020 pilot action on open access to research data. This deliverable, the AUTOPOST data management plan, describes the research data that will be collected and generated during the project and explains how it will be exploited or if it will be shared for verification and re-use.

AUTOPOST is an industry-driven innovation action that will deliver ICT-based solutions to enhance established post-production workflows. As most of the project outcomes are susceptible of being protected for exploitation, this data management plan will clearly identify which data will be kept confidential and which will be made openly available.

This document describes the data, how it will be created, how it will be stored and backed-up, who owns it and who is responsible for the different data.

The AutoPost management Plan will be updated as the project progresses.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Talbot effect in the space-time evolution of matter waves is analyzed and shown that the matter waves at relativistic and non-relativistic velocities exhibit coherence beyond the grating and display Talbot self-imaging. The grating is realized by considering equidistant narrowly peaked coherent probability distributions at the onset. Theoretical frame work is based on a quantum particle at relativistic and non-relativistic velocities in a one dimensional box. The matter waves, in their evolution, display Talbot self-imaging and fractional self-imaging as restructuring, respectively, at Talbot length and fractional Talbot lengths.

Saul Bellow and the novel of ideas

description: Bibliography: p. 185-187.
description: This thesis proposes that the American writer Saul Bellow has progressively synthesized two navel forms, the novel of ideas and the novel of character. The novel of ideas which has been outlined for us in Aldous Huxley 's Point Counter Point. is concerned with a detached presentation of intellectual concepts, rather than the creation of real human characters, creatures of flesh and blood, which is the province of the novel of character. An examination of five of Bellow' s six major novels, in their chronological order, demonstrates his increasing ability to combine within one narrative framework the illustration of ideas and the exploration of the inner life of a number of vital characters, and to make ingenious use of existing types of the novel to fulfil his purpose.
Determining the Value of Birthrank and Parent Age in Thoroughbred Racehorses

description: Thoroughbred racing is referred to as “the sport of Kings”, because historically it was a leisure activity of the upper-class. Thoroughbred breeding on the other hand has transformed from a hobby of the upper-class to a worldwide agricultural industry. With the deep involvement of the royal and rich in the Thoroughbred industry, the auction prices of horses are raised significantly at the top end of the market.  Research in the biological sciences suggests there exits correlations between dam age, foal birthrank, and the racing performance of Thoroughbred horses. This study first investigates how the market values these biological factors and whether they are correlated with racehorses’ career earnings. We further test the impact of sire age as there is limited literature related to the subject. By using a Hedonic pricing model, results show that Thoroughbred buyers at Keeneland September Sale are willing to pay more for the yearlings at 1st, 2nd, and 3rd birthranks, yearlings out of younger mares age from 4 to 10, and yearlings by experienced sires age from 12 to 18. Results from multivariate regressions suggest negative correlations between foal birthrank, parent age and career earnings.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The low density interstellar medium (ISM) close to the Sun and inside of the heliosphere provides a unique laboratory for studying interstellar dust grains. Grain characteristics in the nearby ISM are obtained from observations of interstellar gas and dust inside of the heliosphere and the interstellar gas towards nearby stars. Comparison between the gas composition and solar abundances suggests that grains are dominated by olivines and possibly some form of iron oxide. Measurements of the interstellar Ne/O ratio by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer spacecraft indicate that a high fraction of interstellar oxygen in the ISM must be depleted onto dust grains. Local interstellar abundances are consistent with grain destruction in ~150 km/s interstellar shocks, provided that the carbonaceous component is hydrogenated amorphous carbon and carbon abundances are correct. Variations in relative abundances of refractories in gas suggest variations in the history of grain destruction in nearby ISM. The large observed grains, > 1 micron, may indicate a nearby reservoir of denser ISM. Theoretical three-dimensional models of the interaction between interstellar dust grains and the solar wind predict that plumes of about 0.18 micron dust grains form around the heliosphere.

description: A adoção das redes sociais pelos idosos tem vindo a aumentar nos últimos anos. No entanto, muitos ainda não conseguem fazer uso das mesmas redes sociais, uma vez que estas simplesmente não se encontram adaptadas a eles. Através de uma série de observações diretas, entrevistas e focus groups, foram identificadas recomenda - ções para o design de redes sociais focadas nos idosos. Com base nisto, foi desenvolvido um protótipo para tablets, com suporte para a partilha e visualização de conteúdos no Facebook. De seguida, realizaram-se es - tudos com utilizadores, de modo a comparar o nosso protótipo com aplicação móvel nativa do Facebook. Des - cobrimos que a aplicação nativa do Facebook não vai de encontro às necessidades dos utilizadores idoso, tais como a privacidade e o foco na família, enquanto que as nossas recomendações seguiram casos de uso rele - vantes, postos em prática no protótipo de uma forma útil e acessível.

Virtuous Trees at Five and Six Points for Yang-Mills and Gravity

description: We present a particularly nice D-dimensional graph-based representation of the full color-dressed five-point tree-level gluon amplitude. It possesses the following virtues: 1) it satisfies the color-kinematic correspondence, and thus trivially generates the associated five-point graviton amplitude, 2) all external state information is encoded in color-ordered partial amplitudes, and 3) one function determines the kinematic contribution of all graphs in the Yang-Mills amplitude, so the associated gravity amplitude is manifestly permutation symmetric. The third virtue, while shared among all known loop-level correspondence-satisfying representations, is novel for tree-level representations sharing the first two virtues. This new D-dimensional representation makes contact with the recently found multiloop five-point representations, suggesting all-loop, all-multiplicity ramifications through unitarity. Additionally we present a slightly less virtuous representation of the six-point MHV and MHVbar amplitudes which holds only in four dimensions.

description: We present for the first time a detailed spectroscopic study of chemical element abundances of metal-poor RR Lyrae stars in the Large and Small Magellanic Cloud (LMC and SMC). Using the MagE echelle spectrograph at the 6.5m Magellan telescopes, we obtain medium resolution (R ~ 2000 - 6000) spectra of six RR Lyrae stars in the LMC and three RR Lyrae stars in the SMC. These stars were chosen because their previously determined photometric metallicities were among the lowest metallicities found for stars belonging to the old populations in the Magellanic Clouds. We find the spectroscopic metallicities of these stars to be as low as [Fe/H]_{spec} = -2.7dex, the lowest metallicity yet measured for any star in the Magellanic Clouds. We confirm that for metal-poor stars, the photometric metallicities from the Fourier decomposition of the lightcurves are systematically too high compared to their spectroscopic counterparts. However, for even more metal-poor stars below [Fe/H]_{phot} < -2.8dex this trend is reversed and the spectroscopic metallicities are systematically higher than the photometric estimates. We are able to determine abundance ratios for ten chemical elements, which extend the abundance measurements of chemical elements for RR Lyrae stars in the Clouds beyond [Fe/H] for the first time. For the overall [alpha/Fe] ratio, we obtain an overabundance of 0.36dex, which is in very good agreement with results from metal-poor stars in the Milky Way halo as well as from the metal-poor tail in dwarf spheroidal galaxies. Comparing the abundances with those of the stars in the Milky Way halo we find that the abundance ratios of stars of both populations are consistent with another. Therefore we conclude that from a chemical point of view early contributions from Magellanic-type galaxies to the formation of the Galactic halo as claimed in cosmological models are plausible.

description: The relationship between copyright law and freedom of expression has always been controversial, but this tension has deepened in recent years with the rapid growth in prominence of digital technologies (e.g. online access to creative works) and the extension of copyright law (e.g. longer terms, control over end user activities). These guidelines seek to distil, from literature and cases and statutes, principles of good practice for copyright owners to identify when a free expression right is implicated in the design, use, or enforcement of copyright. It is hoped that these guidelines can be used to clarify the contours of a copyright owner’s rights, and in particular to internalise and harmonise the impact of decisions regarding the use of works on the exercise of speech rights.

description: Objectives: Electronic health records (EHRs) are only a first step in capturing and utilizing health-related data - the challenge is turning that data into useful information. Furthermore, EHRs are increasingly likely to include data relating to patient outcomes, functionality such as clinical decision support, and genetic information as well, and, as such, can be seen as repositories of increasingly valuable information about patients' health conditions and responses to treatment over time. Methods: We describe a case study of 423 patients treated by Centerstone within Tennessee and Indiana in which we utilized electronic health record data to generate predictive algorithms of individual patient treatment response. Multiple models were constructed using predictor variables derived from clinical, financial and geographic data. Results: For the 423 patients, 101 deteriorated, 223 improved and in 99 there was no change in clinical condition. Based on modeling of various clinical indicators at baseline, the highest accuracy in predicting individual patient response ranged from 70-72% within the models tested. In terms of individual predictors, the Centerstone Assessment of Recovery Level - Adult (CARLA) baseline score was most significant in predicting outcome over time (odds ratio 4.1 + 2.27). Other variables with consistently significant impact on outcome included payer, diagnostic category, location and provision of case management services. Conclusions: This approach represents a promising avenue toward reducing the current gap between research and practice across healthcare, developing data-driven clinical decision support based on real-world populations, and serving as a component of embedded clinical artificial intelligences that "learn" over time.

description: Neste artigo descreve-se uma aplicação de Realidade Virtual desenvolvida com o objetivo principal de apoiar no tratamento da ansiedade social relacionada com situações de avaliação perante um júri. A aplicação gera uma simulação com humanos virtuais num cenário que recria um júri composto por um a três humanos virtuais. O terapeuta dispõe de uma interface gráfica que usa antes do início da simulação para parametrizar o cenário e durante a simulação para manipular as posturas corporais e as expressões faciais dos personagens virtuais, controlando assim o nível de ansiedade induzido sobre o paciente. O uso da Realidade Virtual na terapia de exposição em tratamentos de fobias sociais surgiu na década de noventa, mas envolve normalmente custos muito significativos, quer em equipamentos (que podem causar algum desconforto aos participantes), quer em software. Nesta aplicação recorremos a uma abordagem de baixo custo, usando apenas software e modelos gratuitos e recorrendo a equipamento vulgar. A aplicação tem ainda uma outra vertente de uso: a investigações no âmbito da Psicologia das Emoções. Tirando partido do nível de controlo detalhado que a aplicação suporta, o investigador pode ajustar as posturas corporais e as expressões faciais dos humanos virtuais na simulação e, por exemplo, exibi-las perante uma audiência que dirá o que sentiu ou 'leu”' nesses comportamentos.

Photoelectric charging of dust grains in the environment of Young Stellar Objects

Year: 2011

description: The evolution of disks around Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) is deeply affected by the YSOs ultraviolet (UV) radiation field especially in the 500-1100 Å spectral range. The two dominant processes are; the photo-dissociation of H_2 molecules in the Werner and Lyman bands, and the emission of photo-electrons from dust grains when high energy photons are absorbed. Photo-electrons are an important source of gas heating. Dust grain charging when exposed to various possible UV fields in the YSOs environment is investigated. Numerical simulation of the evolution of photo-electrons in the electric field created by the charged dust grains are carried out to obtain a charging profile. From the simulations it appears that the different spectra produce significant quantitative and qualitative different charging processes. Both the UV background and the Ae-Herbig star radiation field produce a relatively slow charging of dust grains due to the low fraction of sufficiently energetic photons. The radiation field of T Tauri Stars (TTSs) is harder due to the release of magnetic energy in the dense magnetospheric environment. These numerical results have been used to propose a new simple analytical model for grain charging in the atmosphere of protostellar disks around TTSs susceptible to be used in any disk modeling. It has been found that the yield decreases exponentially with the dust charge and that two populations of photoelectrons are produced. The high energy population is susceptible of dissociating the H_2 and ionizing some low ionization potential species, such as the Mg. These results add an additional role to dust on the chemistry of the layers just below the H_2 photoionization front. This photoelectic yield has been applied to a simple evaluation of the dust charge in the atmospheres of accretion disks and a simple evaluation of the dust charge in the atmospheres of accretion disks.

description: Este artigo apresenta uma plataforma para fácil configuração de ambientes virtuais imersivos (pSIVE) juntamente com um estudo com utilizadores para avaliar duas técnicas para a seleção de objetos tridimensionais. O pSIVE, sigla em inglês para 'Platform for setting up interactive virtual environments', tem como objetivo a fácil criação de ambientes virtuais por não-especialistas e a utilização dos mesmos pelo público em geral. Neste âmbito, foi realizado um estudo com o objetivo de comparar duas variações da técnica de 'ray-tracing' para a seleção de objetos tridimensionais em ambientes virtuais imersivos. Na primeira variante usa-se o ponteiro laser como metáfora e o feixe de seleção tem origem na mão do utilizador e na outra o raio apontador tem origem na cabeça. Concluiu-se que a flexibilidade do sistema apresentado possibilita a fácil extensão do mesmo para aplicações de domínio específico, como no caso do teste com utilizadores. No que diz a respeito ao estudo com utilizadores, os resultados mostram que a seleção a partir da cabeça permite um melhor desempenho, mas que para aqueles que iniciaram com o ponteiro laser o processo de aprendizagem foi mais intuitivo resultando em menos erros e tempos reduzidos de seleção. Mostrando, também, a flexibilidade do sistema apresentado, visto que o mesmo possibilitou a construção do ambiente utilizado nos testes de maneira simplificada.

description: Tendo em conta que as estruturas em ruínas que fazem parte do nosso património arqueológico, assim como os artefactos de épocas passadas estão repletos de detalhe e relevância para o estudo deste nosso legado cultural, seria desejável possuir réplicas virtuais realistas, que poderiam ser exploradas livremente sem comprometer a fragilidade inerente a estas peças do nosso passado histórico. Ambientes tridimensionais são normalmente a primeira opção para representar tais estruturas e artefactos. No entanto, os custos para produzir os mesmos são desencorajadores, devido ao custo significativo das ferramentas de modelação tridimensional que são normalmente utilizadas, assim como o tempo necessário para produzir estes modelos manualmente. Este artigo apresenta uma alternativa de baixo custo, para o processo clássico de modelação manual e produção de modelos com elevado detalhe, utilizando unicamente software de código aberto e uma câmara móvel de profundidade de baixo custo. Com este processo, é nossa intenção potenciar a disseminação do nosso património cultural, tornando- o acessível, não só a especialistas, mas igualmente ao público em geral. Os modelos virtuais produzidos são disponibilizados através de um visualizador interativo embebido num browser, utilizando as mais recentes tecnologias, como HTML5 e WebGL. Este pode ser acedido através de uma ampla variedade de dispositivos móveis proeminentes, assim como em qualquer computador pessoal, contribuindo deste modo para uma verdadeira democratização do conhecimento da história. A abordagem proposta foi aplicada para criar um modelo virtual de um complexo de lojas do período Romano existente nas ruínas de Conimbriga, identificado como ""Casa do Medianum Absidado"".

Um jogo que pretende chamar a atenção das crianças para os factores causadores de ataques de asma, bem como transmitir conhecimento sobre como os evitar. Para além de se descrever o jogo, descrevem-se os resultados de um estudo em que se procurou avaliar quer a viabilidade da utilização da plataforma na criação de jogos sérios, quer a usabilidade do próprio jogo.

description: A gamificação é uma técnica recente que consiste em aplicar elementos de jogos a contextos não relacionados com jogos, por forma a motivar os utilizadores a adoptar novos comportamentos, tais como fazer mais exercício, ou aprenderem algo novo. Neste artigo, descrevemos uma experiência de longo termo na qual uma cadeira universitária de mestrado, da área de Computação Gráfica e Multimédia, foi gamificada, através da introdução de elementos como pontos de experiência, níveis, quadros de liderança, desafios e crachás. A experiência durou cinco anos, nos quais os últimos dois a cadeira foi gamificada. Dados sobre a assiduidade às aulas, número de descargas do material de apoio, número de posts nos fóruns da cadeira e notas finais, foram recolhidos em todos os anos. Uma comparação entre edições gamificadas e não gamificadas foi realizada, por forma a perceber o efeito da gamificação sobre o processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Os resultados foram bastante encorajadores, mostrando efeitos benéficos sobre os níveis de participação e proactividade online, bem como sobre a atenção ao material de apoio e sobre as notas dos alunos. Apresentamos ainda possíveis abordagens para enriquecer futuras edições gamificadas da cadeira e as várias lições de desenho aprendidas ao longo desta experiência.

Amp-activated protein kinase in the heart : role in fatty acid delivery, fatty acid utilization and cell death
Creators: name: Kewalramani, Girish
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Following hypoinsulinemia, glucose utilization is compromised and the myocardium switches to utilize fatty acids (FA). Previous studies have reported that PPAR-α promotes FA oxidation during chronic hypoinsulinemia. Whether the same modification also occurs in the heart during acute hypoinsulinemia and if AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) participates in the increase of cardiac fatty acid oxidation during this condition remains unclear. Using streptozotocin model of Type I diabetes, we report that in acute (4 days) diabetes AMPK by phosphorylating acetyl CoA carboxylase promotes cardiac fatty acid oxidation. Unexpectedly, in chronic diabetes (6 weeks), with the addition of augmented plasma and heart lipids, AMPK activation is prevented, and PPAR-α through its regulation of downstream targets controls myocardial FA oxidation. In addition to its role in FA utilization, AMPK has been implicated in controlling FA delivery through its regulation of the FA transporter, CD36. Given that LPL derived FA is the principal source of energy during insulin resistance, the question of interest was whether cardiac AMPK can regulate LPL translocation to the vascular lumen to increase the exogenous FA pool. Using dexamethasone (DEX) as an acute model of insulin resistance, my study demonstrates that, following a single dose of DEX, nongenomic phosphorylation of stress kinases such as AMPK together with insulin facilitate LPL translocation to the myocyte cell surface. Besides metabolism, AMPK has been implicated in modulating cell death. The production of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is reported to increase during obesity and diabetes and elevated plasma or endogenous cardiac TNF-α levels have shown to cause cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Using established AMPK activators like DEX or metformin (MET), my objective was to determine if AMPK activation prevents TNF-α-induced apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. My data demonstrates that although DEX and MET are used as anti-inflammatory agents or insulin sensitizers, their common property to phosphorylate AMPK promotes cardiomyocyte survival through its regulation of Bad and the mitochondrial apoptotic mechanism.

description: We report the detection of five high-velocity stars in the core of the globular cluster NGC 2808. The stars lie on the the red giant branch and show total velocities between 40 and 45 km/s. For a core velocity dispersion sigma_c = 13.4 km/s, this corresponds to up to 3.4 sigma_c. These velocities are close to the estimated escape velocity (~ 50 km/s) and suggest an ejection from the core. Two of these stars have been confirmed in our recent integral field spectroscopy data and we will discuss them in more detail here. These two red giants are located at a projected distance of ~ 0.3 pc from the center. According to their positions on the color magnitude diagram, both stars are cluster members. We investigate several possible origins for the high velocities of the stars and conceivable ejection mechanisms. Since the velocities are close to the escape velocity, it is not obvious whether the stars are bound or unbound to the cluster. We therefore consider both cases in our analysis. We perform numerical simulations of three-body dynamical encounters between binaries and single stars and compare the resulting velocity distributions of escapers with the velocities of our stars. We compare the predictions for a single dynamical encounter with a compact object with those of a sequence of two-body encounters due to relaxation. If the stars are unbound, the encounter must have taken place recently, when the stars were already in the giant phase. After including binary fractions and black-hole retention fractions, projection effects, and detection probabilities from Monte-Carlo simulations, we estimate the expected numbers of detections for all the different scenarios. Based on these numbers, we conclude that the most likely scenario is that the stars are bound and were accelerated by a single encounter between a binary of main-sequence stars and a ~ 10 M_sun black hole.

description: As aplicações de Realidade Aumentada (RA), desenvolvidas recentemente, abordam diversas áreas, incluindo a área de apoio ao ensino. No ensino da geometria, por exemplo, os alunos revelam, tradicionalmente, dificuldades na perceção da tridimensionalidade, quando esta é representada em duas dimensões. O recurso a técnicas de RA para a visualização 3D poderá ajudar a ultrapassar esta limitação. Neste artigo, apresenta-se uma aplicação em RA, desenvolvida para apoiar o ensino da geometria, nomeadamente, a representação e a visualização de secções num cubo. O GARBook consiste num livro interativo que permite a visualização de sólidos geométricos e de secções no cubo. Os ensaios experimentais foram realizados com alunos do ensino profissional, com idades compreendidas entre os 15 e os 20 anos e permitiram concluir que o processo de aprendizagem entre os jovens que usaram o GARBook melhorou significativamente em comparação com os alunos que usaram apenas o método tradiciona (entenda-se, método expositivo em contexto de sala de aula).

description: We combine high-resolution HST/WFC3 images with multi-wavelength photometry to track the evolution of structure and activity of massive (log(M*) > 10) galaxies at redshifts z = 1.4 - 3 in two fields of the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS). We detect compact, star-forming galaxies (cSFGs) whose number densities, masses, sizes, and star formation rates qualify them as likely progenitors of compact, quiescent, massive galaxies (cQGs) at z = 1.5 - 3. At z > 2 most cSFGs have specific star-formation rates (sSFR = 10^-9 yr^-1) half that of typical, massive SFGs at the same epoch, and host X-ray luminous AGN 30 times (~30%) more frequently. These properties suggest that cSFGs are formed by gas-rich processes (mergers or disk-instabilities) that induce a compact starburst and feed an AGN, which, in turn, quench the star formation on dynamical timescales (few 10^8 yr). The cSFGs are continuously being formed at z = 2 - 3 and fade to cQGs by z = 1.5. After this epoch, cSFGs are rare, thereby truncating the formation of new cQGs. Meanwhile, down to z = 1, existing cQGs continue to enlarge to match local QGs in size, while less-gas-rich mergers and other secular mechanisms shepherd (larger) SFGs as later arrivals to the red sequence. In summary, we propose two evolutionary scenarios of QG formation: an early (z > 2), fast-formation path of rapidly-quenched cSFGs that evolve into cQGs that later enlarge within the quiescent phase, and a slow, late-arrival (z < 2) path for SFGs to form QGs without passing through a compact state.

Exploring 'limits of the local' : a case study of literacy-in-action in a contemporary intermediate classroom
Creators: name: Lenters, Kimberly Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study enters the ongoing theoretical conversation about New Literacy Studies (NLS) and literacy practices. Recent critiques of NLS have highlighted shortcomings related to the difficulty in accounting for the way power plays a role in shaping literacy practices (e.g., Brandt & Clinton, 2002; Collins & Blot, 2003). In their article, “Limits of the Local” Brandt and Clinton (2002) call for literacy studies that include an analysis of both localizing and globalizing activity to find a means for exploring the role of power in local literacy practices. Their call prompted much discussion within the NLS (e.g., Barton & Hamilton, 2005; Reder & Davila, 2005; Street, 2003b) and several studies that followed took up this theoretical challenge (e.g., see Pahl & Rowsell, 2006) The purpose of this study is to instantiate the "literacy-in-action” model (Brandt and Clinton, 2002), based on the work of Latour (1993; 1996), to account for and further theorize the global in local literacy practices. To date, few published studies that take up this model in all of its depth are in evidence. In this study, the “literacy-in-action” model is explored and elaborated through a qualitative case study of one classroom in order to a) build a more detailed research framework for the model and b) provide a concrete basis for discussing its merits and limitations in sociocultural studies of literacy in classroom settings. In doing so, my goal is to situate the model and move the discussion of the local and global in literacy research beyond the kind of theoretical critique NLS scholars, such as Street (2003a; 2003b) and Street and Lefstein (2007) provide.

description: The West Coast Groundfish Observer Program’s primary objective is to collect coastwide, year-round discard rates for federal groundfish fisheries off the U.S. Pacific coast. In addition to estimating bycatch, WCGOP observers record information on fishing operations, catch composition, protected species interactions, and take biological samples. These data are used to assess and monitor total mortality for a variety of groundfish stocks and inform sustainable fisheries management on the West Coast. This chapter explains the components put in place to ensure that the program achieves this goal.
