description: This report is the first deliverable of WP4 “Technology Support” of the CLARITY project, funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 Programme under Grant Agreement number 730355. WP4 intends to provide the technological backbone of the CLARITY Climate Service Information System (CSIS) by tailoring the technological background foreseen in the CLARITY work package descriptions to project needs. For this, WP4 will integrate and adapt all required and existing (background) tools and services that are necessary for realisation of the CLARITY reference scenarios (Demonstration Cases) and implementation of the EU-GL into the CLARITY Climate Services.

The aim of this deliverable is to provide an initial plan for the WP4 work per task, taking into account the input from D1.1 “Initial Workshops and the CLARITY Development Environment”:

	T4.2 "Catalogue of elements at risk and adaptation options" provides a catalogue that will serve as repository of element at risk types and adaptation options and a dedicated Catalogue of Data Sources and Simulation Models that makes climate-related information accessible and discoverable.
	T4.3 "Scenario Management" will offer the Scenario Management tool which supports and enforces first and foremost the standardised workflows of the EU-GL for each of the distinct planning steps, a Data Dashboard that provides an overview of all the different datasets that are used, produced, ordered, collected, requested, exchanged etc. by an end user and a Data Package Export and Import Tool for exporting any data that is directly available in the CSIS.
	T4.4 "Scenario Transferability" provides a Map Component for clear and easy visualization of different maps and layers as well as the Scenario Transferability Component that offers general matchmaking functionality by means of graphical user interfaces (e.g. map visualisations) for side-by-side comparison of alternate (adaptation) scenarios.
	T4.5 Scenario Analysis, Decision Support and Report Generation provides software that will support the analysis and comparison of scenario candidates (options) regarding performance indicators that can be defined by the end user.

Detailed information for each of the WP4 tasks is provided as a separate section in this document. Annex 1 also provides an overview of the tools that are inherited from previous projects and explains the initial plan for using and/or extending these inputs in CLARITY.

description: We compare calculations of jet quenching observables at sqrt s = 2.76 ATeV to preliminary LHC data from weak-coupling pQCD and strong-coupling AdS/CFT drag energy loss models. Rigorously constrained to sqrt s = 200 AGeV RHIC pi^0 suppression data and introducing no free parameters, the pQCD-based WHDG model simultaneously describes qualitatively the suppression of light hadrons and quantitatively the azimuthal anisotropy (over many centrality classes) of light hadrons and the suppression of D mesons at LHC. The drag predictions shown here--qualitatively constrained to RHIC data--compare poorly to the measured suppression of D mesons, but the current experimental uncertainties are large. The double ratio of D to B meson R_AA(p_T) should provide a robust experimental measurement to distinguish between the very different assumptions of the strength of interactions in the QGP produced in heavy ion collisions; i.e., whether, from a jet quenching standpoint, the medium is either weakly- or strongly-coupled.

description: This paper has been published in the Journal Empirical Software Engineering, 2020. Stack Overflow (SO) is among the most popular question and answers sites used by developers. Labeling posts with tags is one of the features to facilitate searching and browsing SO posts. However, existing tags mainly refer to technological aspects but not to the purpose of a question. In this paper, we argue that tagging posts with their purpose can facilitate developers to find the posts that provide an answer to their question. We first present a harmonization of existing taxonomies of question categories, that represent the purpose of a question, into seven categories. Next, we present two approaches to automate the classification of posts into the seven question categories, one using regular expressions and one using machine learning. Evaluating both approaches on an independent test set, we found that our regular expressions outperform machine learning. Applying the regular expressions on posts related to Android app development, showed that the categories API USAGE, CONCEPTUAL, and DISCREPANCY are most frequently assigned. By integrating our approach into SO, posts could be manually tagged with our categories which would allow developers to search posts by question category.

description: OBJECTIVE: To increase understanding of HIV infection risk among patients with severe mental illness, the study sought to identify predictors of injection drug use among patients who did not have a primary substance use disorder. METHODS: A total of 192 patients recruited from inpatient and outpatient public psychiatric facilities were interviewed by trained mental health professionals using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R (SCID), the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, and the Parenteral Drug Use High-Risk Questionnaire. RESULTS: Sixty percent of the sample met SCID criteria for lifetime substance abuse or dependence. Although only two patients reported drug injection in the past six months, 38 (20 percent) had injected drugs since 1978, the year that HIV began to spread in the U.S. A lifetime diagnosis of opioid abuse or dependence was a strong predictor of drug injection, but only 11 of the 38 patients with a recent history of injection drug use had either of these diagnoses. The likelihood of injecting drugs was four times greater among patients with a history of intranasal substance use compared with those without such use, three and a half times greater among African-American patients than among non-African-Americans, and five times greater among patients aged 36 or older compared with younger patients. CONCLUSIONS: In assessing HIV risk among patients with severe mental illness, it may be more important to identify the route of drug administration than the specific substances used because of the strong association between intranasal drug use and history of injection.

description: A study of risk factors for homelessness among the severely mentally ill was extended to include women, and a case-control study of 100 indigent women with schizophrenia meeting criteria for literal homelessness and 100 such women with no history of homelessness was conducted. Subjects were recruited from shelters, clinics, and inpatient psychiatric programs in New York City. Clinical interviewers used standardized research instruments to probe three domains of risk factors: severity of mental illness, family background, and prior mental health service use. Findings adjusted for ethnicity revealed that homeless women had higher rates of a concurrent diagnosis of alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and antisocial personality disorder. Homeless women also had less adequate family support.
Precise response functions in all-electron methods: Application to the optimized-effective-potential approach

description: The optimized-effective-potential (OEP) method is a special technique to construct local Kohn-Sham potentials from general orbital-dependent energy functionals. In a recent publication [M. Betzinger, C. Friedrich, S. Blügel, A. Görling, Phys. Rev. B 83, 045105 (2011)] we showed that uneconomically large basis sets were required to obtain a smooth local potential without spurious oscillations within the full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave method (FLAPW). This could be attributed to the slow convergence behavior of the density response function. In this paper, we derive an incomplete-basis-set correction for the response, which consists of two terms: (1) a correction that is formally similar to the Pulay correction in atomic-force calculations and (2) a numerically more important basis response term originating from the potential dependence of the basis functions. The basis response term is constructed from the solutions of radial Sternheimer equations in the muffin-tin spheres. With these corrections the local potential converges at much smaller basis sets, at much fewer states, and its construction becomes numerically very stable. We analyze the improvements for rock-salt ScN and report results for BN, AlN, and GaN, as well as the perovskites CaTiO3, SrTiO3, and BaTiO3. The incomplete-basis-set correction can be applied to other electronic-structure methods with potential-dependent basis sets and opens the perspective to investigate a broad spectrum of problems in theoretical solid-state physics that involve response functions.

description: Dieser Vortrag wurde auf der 35. IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE) präsentiert. Unsicher konfigurierte Geräte stellen ein großes Sicherheitsproblem dar. Eine Möglichkeit, dieses Problem zu lösen, sind öffentlich verfügbare und standartisierte Sicherheitskonfigurationsrichtlinien. Dieser Ansatz birgt jedoch die Schwierigkeit, dass Administratoren auf Basis der Anleitungen in diesen Richtlinien ihre Systeme manuell sichern müssen. Dieses manuelle Sichern ist teuer und fehleranfällig. In unserem Beitrag präsentieren wir einen Ansatz, mit dem wir Richtlinien für Windows-Systeme automatisiert anwenden können. Dafür wenden wir Techniken der Sprachverarbeitung an. Im ersten Teil unserer Evaluation können wir anhand einer öffentlichen Richtlinie für Windows 10 zeigen, dass unser Ansatz für 83% der Regeln keinerlei menschliche Interaktion benötigt. Im zweiten Teil zeigen wir anhand von 12 öffentlichen Richtlinien mit über 2000 Regeln, dass unser Ansatz die Regeln zu 97% korrekt anwendet. So wird die sichere Konfiguration von Windows-Systemen einfacher und wir hoffen, dass dies zukünftig zu weniger Sicherheitsvorfällen führen wird.

Toward a Model of Innovation and Performance Along the Lines of Knight, Keynes, Hayek and M. Polanyí

Technological innovations--Economic aspects

description: Capitalist systems are private-ownership systems distinguished by openness to implementing new commercial ideas - ideas for new products and methods - and by decentralized, pluralistic mechanisms for selecting the ideas to finance and providing the needed capital and incentives. The economic system in the U.S. is broadly of that type. The sort of system in continental western Europe is so constrained by institutions and regulations intended for the protection of stakeholders and “social partners” that it goes by other names - corporatism or the social market economy. China’s system must be called “state capitalism” because its financial sector is state-run. How these three systems affect innovation and economic performance is a topic of lively discussion today.

To many proponents - Schumpeter, for example - and critics - Marx, for one - capitalism’s strength is its dynamism - the readiness and adeptness with which it moves forward. No doubt this dynamism derives in part from the creativity of business people and the acuity of the financiers judging which entrepreneurial ideas to back.  Yet our understanding of the mechanisms and economic institutions involved, and why capitalism’s dynamism is apparently hard to match, has not advanced far since the seminal insights of the early modern theorists of capitalism - notably Knight, Hayek and M. Polanyi.

I first review their legacy, which is not widely known. I then sketch elements of a model building on their insights, examine some of its implications and discuss recent and postwar experience from its perspective.

Economic development--Effect of technological innovations on

description: China’s trade surplus with the U.S. is now more than a quarter of the U.S. trade deficit and, with China growing faster than the U.S., raises questions about its future course. Some media commentators term the chronic trade surplus “mercantilist” but offer no persuasive motive for it. Academics taking the classical static view regard the trade surpluses as a policy error. We offer a rudimentary model in which trade surplus in the early years is central for an optimal growth trajectory. The novelty derives from two features of underdevelopment shaping trade between backward economies like China and advanced economies like the U.S. First, the initial comparative disadvantages in China are an artifact of the uneven technical advances made by the U.S., so China may be able to erase those disadvantages through technological transfers bought with surpluses of exports over imports in goods and services. Reserves may be accumulated to pay for large lumps of knowhow. Second, the diffusion of new products requires learning, which takes time, so the initial dearth of familiarity in China with a range of U.S. consumer goods operates as a drag on import demand for them, which may tip trade balances into surplus.

description: Of the main contests in 20th century political economy, the contest between capitalism and corporatism still matters. And it matters quite a lot, as I believe the recent economic record of continental western Europe helps to confirm. My discussion here of the economic thought of John Maynard Keynes will focus on his early “corporatist” dissatisfaction with the market – a dissatisfaction that ran deeper than the Pigovian critique of laissez faire, later known as the “free market” system.

description: As the proportion of people in the latter stages of the lifespan increase so will the need for social work services. This grounded theory study explored why some social work students include the option of working with older persons. Fifteen social work students in the provinces of Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador were asked the specific question: Why do you, as a social work student, want to work with older adults when you graduate? Constant comparison of data revealed a three-phase process entitled Valuing Aging Model contributing to understanding why some social work students include the option of working with older persons. This process has the potential to be transformative and may occur at any time during the lifespan. The first phase described exposure to, and learning about older persons through a variety of life experiences including family, education, employment, and volunteering. The second phase involved a transcending experience where students were able to analyze knowledge, and psychological and emotional messages they received through developing relationships with older persons, as well as the impacts of life experiences with older persons. The resultant process of self-exploration or discovering of self allowed students to challenge societal beliefs regarding aging and adopt a new way of thinking. The third phase, inclusion, involved acknowledging discrimination, understanding vulnerability and coming to include all people, including older persons, as part of a decision making process. Included is a discussion of trustworthiness incorporating credibility, transferability, dependability and confirmability of this study. In conclusion, this study contributes to a growing body of knowledge explaining gerontological career choice and may contribute to attitudinal change supporting a paradigm shift where all stages of the lifespan be considered as desirable practice areas.

description: Selecting economic institutions, I will argue, may very well be, in most if not all countries, the most critical area of economic policy making and yet it has been decades since it held center stage. A surface cause is that our understanding of institutions is relatively meager. A deeper reason is that it has been hard even to get started: We cannot have a reasoned discussion of the performance of institutions and the selection among them – which institutions are working well, which must be altered, and which new ones brought in – until we are willing and able to specify (for the sake of argument at any rate) the kind of economy we desire to have. Here I want to propose a conception of the kind of economy that economic policy making would do well to aim for – a notion of the desirable economy. Such a conception can serve as the moral criterion for choosing among alternative structures of economic institutions. It also serves to put the whole discussion of economic policy in a somewhat new perspective.
Measuring emission coordinates in a pulsar-based relativistic positioning system

description: A relativistic deep space positioning system has been proposed using four or more pulsars with stable repetition rates. (Each pulsar emits pulses at a fixed repetition period in its rest frame.) The positioning system uses the fact that an event in spacetime can be fully described by emission coordinates: the proper emission time of each pulse measured at the event. The proper emission time of each pulse from four different pulsars---interpolated as necessary---provides the four spacetime coordinates of the reception event in the emission coordinate system. If more than four pulsars are available, the redundancy can improve the accuracy of the determination and/or resolve degeneracies resulting from special geometrical arrangements of the sources and the event. We introduce a robust numerical approach to measure the emission coordinates of an event in any arbitrary spacetime geometry. Our approach uses a continuous solution of the eikonal equation describing the backward null cone from the event. The pulsar proper time at the instant the null cone intersects the pulsar world line is one of the four required coordinates. The process is complete (modulo degeneracies) when four pulsar world lines have been crossed by the light cone. The numerical method is applied in two different examples: measuring emission coordinates of an event in Minkowski spacetime using pulses from four pulsars stationary in the spacetime; and measuring emission coordinates of an event in Schwarzschild spacetime using pulses from four pulsars freely falling toward a static black hole. These numerical simulations are merely exploratory, but with improved resolution and computational resources the method can be applied to more pertinent problems. For instance one could measure the emission coordinates, and therefore the trajectory, of the Earth.

description: My thesis in recent years is that a just society requires the good economy; the good economy requires high dynamism and wide inclusion; and these qualities require a well-chosen mix of economic policies: some aimed at dynamism, some at inclusion.

description: We derive the star formation history for several regions of the LMC, using deep near-infrared data from the VISTA near-infrared YJKs survey of the Magellanic system (VMC). The regions include three almost-complete 1.4 sqdeg tiles located 3.5 deg away from the LMC centre in distinct directions. To this dataset, we add two 0.036 sqdeg subregions inside the 30 Doradus tile. The SFH is derived from the simultaneous reconstruction of two different CMDs, using the minimization code StarFISH. The distance modulus (m-M)_0 and extinction Av is varied within intervals 0.2 and 0.5 mag wide, respectively, within which we identify the best-fitting star formation rate SFR(t), age-metallicity relation (AMR), (m-M)_0 and Av. Our results demonstrate that VMC data, due to the combination of depth and little sensitivity to differential reddening, allow the derivation of the space-resolved SFH of the LMC with unprecedented quality compared to previous wide-area surveys. In particular, the data clearly reveal the presence of peaks in the SFR(t) at ages log(t/yr)=9.3 and 9.7, which appear in most of the subregions. The most recent SFR is found to vary greatly from subregion to subregion, with the general trend of being more intense in the innermost LMC, except for the tile next to the N11 complex. In the bar region, the SFR seems remarkably constant over the time interval from 8.4 to 9.7. The AMRs, instead, turn out to be remarkably similar across the LMC. The fields studied so far are fit extremely well by a single disk of inclination 26.2+-2.0 deg, position angle of the line of nodes 129.1+-13.0 deg, and distance modulus of 18.470+-0.006 mag (random errors only) up to the LMC centre.

description: Quantum correlation can be created by local operations from a classically correlated state. We define quantum-correlating power (QCP) of a local quantum channel as the maximum amount of quantum correlation that can be created by the channel. The quantum correlation that we discuss in this article is defined on the left part of the bipartite state. We prove that for any local channel, the optimal input state, which corresponds to the maximum quantum correlation in the output state, must be a classical-classical state. Further, the single-qubit channels with maximum QCP can be found in the class of rank-1 channels which take their optimal input states to rank-2 quantum-classical states. The analytic expression for QCP of single-qubit amplitude damping channel is obtained. Super-activation property of QCP, i.e., two zero-QCP channels can consist a positive-QCP channel, is discussed for single-qubit phase damping channels.

The biology and expression of huntingtin interacting protein 14
Creators: name: Young, Fiona Bridget Julia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Huntingtin Interacting Protein 14 (HIP14) is a palmitoyl acyl transferase (PAT) that was first identified due to altered interaction with mutant huntingtin, the protein responsible for Huntington Disease. HIP14 palmitoylates a specific set of neuronal substrates critical at the synapse, and downregulation of HIP14 by siRNA in vitro results in increased cell death in neurons. Recent findings have revealed that mice lacking murine Hip14 (Hip14-/-) demonstrate a Huntington- Disease-like phenotype. In the current study, we have generated and characterized human HIP14 BAC transgenic mice. We generated humanized HIP14 transgenic mice by crossing the HIP14 BAC mouse to the Hip14-/- model. Rescue of the Hip14-/- phenotype indicates that the defects seen in Hip14-/- mice are in fact due to loss of HIP14. In addition, our findings indicate human HIP14 can compensate for the loss of the murine ortholog, and that very low levels of HIP14 are sufficient to rescue the Hip14-/- phenotype. Finally, we assess patterns of HIP14 expression in early development. Our findings further our understanding of HIP14 in vivo, and point to several potential avenues for future studies.

description: Fuzzing or fuzz testing is an established technique that aims to discover unexpected program behavior (\eg, bugs, vulnerabilities, or crashes) by feeding automatically generated data into a program under test. However, the application of fuzzing to test Model-Driven Software Engineering (MDSE) tools is still limited because of the difficulty of existing fuzzers to provide structured, well-typed inputs, namely models that conform to typing and consistency constraints induced by a given meta-model and underlying modeling framework. We present three different approaches for fuzzing MDSE tools: A graph grammar-based fuzzer and two variants of a coverage-guided mutation-based fuzzer working with different sets of model mutation operators. Our evaluation on a set of real-world MDSE tools shows that our approaches can outperform both standard fuzzers and model generators w.r.t. their fuzzing capabilities. Moreover, we found that each of our approaches comes with its own strengths and weaknesses in terms of code coverage and fault finding capabilities, thus complementing each other, forming a fuzzer suite for testing MDSE tools.

description: Burgeoning populations are increasing municipal water demand in the West, a phenomena that is changing rural and urban economies. Agricultural water is a preferred source for meeting growing demands, but transfers often require formerly irrigated land to be fallowed removing a key base industry from rural regional economies. It is no surprise that large scales transfers are greeted with highly-charged, emotionally contentious debates. One alternative to 'buy and dry' strategies is gaining interest. The alternative allows farmers to lease a portion of their water portfolio to cities. Leased water is generated as farmers reduce the consumptive use of their cropping operations by limiting irrigation. Examples of limited irrigation strategies include timing irrigations during vegetative growth and adopting innovative crop rotations. Importantly, the limited irrigation cropland remains in production so that rural economies suffer reduced effects vis a vis buy and dry activity. But will farmers adopt limited irrigation strategies if water lease markets materialize? This research examines producers' potential adoption of limited irrigations strategies and their perceptions of lease arrangements. Potential adoption is gauged from a producer survey of South Platte River Basin farmers in Colorado, a basin experiencing significant population growth in the midst of significant agricultural production. More than 60% or respondents indicate a willingness to lease garnering between 50,000 and 60,000 acre feet of potential water supplies.

description: We summarize the paper "Jaint: A Framework for User-Defined Dynamic Taint-Analyses Based on Dynamic Symbolic Execution of Java Programs", published at the sixteenth international conference on integrated formal methods in November 2020. Reliable and scalable methods for security analyses of Java applications are an important enabler for a secure digital infrastructure. In this paper, we present a security analysis that integrates dynamic symbolic execution and dynamic multi-colored taint analysis of Java programs, combining the precision of dynamic analysis with the exhaustive exploration of symbolic execution. We implement the approach in the Jaint tool, based on Jdart, a dynamic symbolic execution engine for Java PathFinder, and evaluate its performance by comparing precision and runtimes to other research tools on the OWASP benchmark set. The paper also presents a domain-specific language for taint analyses that is more expressive than the source and sink specifications found in publicly available tools and enables precise, CWE-specific specification of undesired data flows. This summary presents Jaint’s language and the evaluation.

Multiscale analysis of collective motion and decision-making in swarms: An advection-diffusion equation with memory approach

description: We propose a (time) multiscale method for the coarse-grained analysis of self--propelled particle models of swarms comprising a mixture of `naïve' and `informed' individuals, used to address questions related to collective motion and collective decision--making in animal groups. The method is based on projecting the particle configuration onto a single `meta-particle' that consists of the group elongation and the mean group velocity and position. The collective states of the configuration can be associated with the transient and asymptotic transport properties of the random walk followed by the meta-particle. These properties can be accurately predicted by an advection-diffusion equation with memory (ADEM) whose parameters are obtained from a mean group velocity time series obtained from a single simulation run of the individual-based model.

description: Given a program that has been tested on some sample input(s), what does one test next? To further test the program, one needs to construct inputs that cover (new) input features, in a manner that is different from the initial samples. This talk presents an approach that learns from past test inputs to generate new but different inputs. To achieve this, we present an approach called inputs from hell which employs probabilistic context-free grammars to learn the distribution of input elements from sample inputs. In this work, we employ probabilistic grammars as input parsers and producers. Applying probabilistic grammars as input parsers, we learn the statistical distribution of input features in sample inputs. As a producer, probabilistic grammars ensure that generated inputs are syntactically correct by construction, and it controls the distribution of input elements by assigning probabilities to individual production rules. Thus, we create inputs that are dissimilar to the sample by inverting learned probabilities. In addition, we generate failure-inducing inputs by learning from inputs that caused failures in the past, this gives us inputs that share similar features and thus also have a high chance of triggering bugs. This approach is useful for bug reproduction and testing for patch completeness.

description: Our paper published in the proceedings of the 33rd European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2019) proposes NAB, a novel framework to execute custom dynamic analysis on open-source software hosted in public repositories. The publication is complemented by an accepted artifact. Analyzing today’s large code repositories has become an important research area for understanding and improving different aspects of modern software systems. Despite the presence of a large body of work on mining code repositories through static analysis, studies applying dynamic analysis to open-source projects are scarce and of limited scale. Nonetheless, being able to apply dynamic analysis to the projects hosted in public code repositories is fundamental for large-scale studies on the runtime behavior of applications, which can greatly benefit the programming-language and software-engineering communities. NAB is fully automatic, language-agnostic, and scalable. We describe NAB’s key features and architecture. We also present three case studies on more than 56K Node.js, Java, and Scala projects, enabling us to 1) understand how developers use JavaScript Promises, 2) identify bad coding practices in JavaScript applications, and 3) locate task-parallel Java and Scala workloads suitable for inclusion in a domain-specific benchmark suite. A preliminary version of NAB is available at http://dag.inf.usi.ch/software/nab/
