description: We report on the expected astrometric performance of the Thirty Meter Telescope's InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer (IRIS) as determined using simulated images of the Galactic center. This region of the Galaxy harbors a supermassive black hole and a dense nuclear stellar cluster, thus providing an ideal laboratory for testing crowded-field astrometry with the IRIS imager. Understanding the sources of astrometric error is also important for making precision measurements of the short-period stars orbiting the supermassive black hole in order to probe the curvature of space-time as predicted by General Relativity. Various sources of error are investigated, including read-out and photon noise, spatially variable point spread functions, confusion, static distortion for the IRIS imager, and the quadratic probe arm distortion. Optical distortion is the limiting source of error for bright stars (K < 15), while fainter sources will be limited by the effects of source confusion. A detailed astrometric error budget for the Galactic center science case is provided.

description: In 2022, the NIH Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) launched the Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI) to enable better sharing, access to, and discovery of NIH-funded data among generalist repositories.
 GREI Vision The long-term vision for GREI is to develop collaborative approaches for data management and sharing through inclusion of the generalist repositories in the NIH data ecosystem. GREI also aims to better enable search and discovery of NIH-funded data in the generalist repositories.
 GREI Mission GREI’s mission is twofold. The primary mission is to establish a common set of cohesive and consistent capabilities, services, metrics, and social infrastructure across various generalist repositories. Secondarily, GREI will raise general awareness and help researchers to adopt FAIR principles to better share and reuse data.
 GREI Objectives: Implement Best Practices for Data Repositories, Support Discovery of NIH-Funded Data, Adopt Consistent Metadata Models, Facilitate QA/QC, Connect Digital Objects, Catalog Use Cases Supported, Implement Open Metrics, Prepare Training Materials, Conduct Outreach, Commit to Coopetition
 GREI currently includes seven established generalist repositories that will work together to establish consistent metadata, develop use cases for data sharing, train and educate researchers on FAIR data and the importance of sharing, and more.
 ODSS anticipates that this initiative will further enhance the biomedical data ecosystem and help researchers find and share data from NIH-funded studies in generalist repositories.

description: Efficient security management has become an important parameter in todays world. As the problem is growing, there is an urgent need for the introduction of advanced technology and equipment to improve the state-of art of surveillance. In this paper we propose a model for real time background subtraction using AGMM. The proposed model is robust and adaptable to dynamic background, fast illumination changes, repetitive motion. Also we have incorporated a method for detecting shadows using the Horpresert color model. The proposed model can be employed for monitoring areas where movement or entry is highly restricted. So on detection of any unexpected events in the scene an alarm can be triggered and hence we can achieve real time surveillance even in the absence of constant human monitoring.

description: In the Sudano-Sahelian areas of Africa droughts can have serious impacts on natural resources, and therefore land surface moisture is an important factor. Insufficient conventional sites for monitoring land surface moisture make the use of Earth Observation data for this purpose a key issue. In this study we explored the potential of using reflectance data in the Red, Near Infrared (NIR), and Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) spectral regions for detecting short term variations in land surface moisture in the Sahel, by analyzing data from three test sites and observations from the geostationary Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellite. We focused on responses in surface reflectance to soil- and surface moisture for bare soil and early to mid- growing season. A method for implementing detrended time series of the Shortwave Infrared Water Stress Index (SIWSI) is examined for detecting variations in vegetation moisture status, and is compared to detrended time series of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). It was found that when plant available water is low, the SIWSI anomalies increase over time, while the NDVI anomalies decrease over time, but less systematically. Therefore SIWSI may carry important complementary information to NDVI in terms of vegetation water status, and can provide this information with the unique combination of temporal and spatial resolution from optical geostationary observations over Sahel. However, the relation between SIWSI anomalies and periods of water stress were not found to be sufficiently robust to be used for water stress detection.

title: WDS/RDA Assessment of Data Fitness for Use WG Outputs and Recommendations
Creators: name: WDS/RDA Assessment of Data Fitness for Use WG
Publisher: name: RDA
Year: 2019

description: This statement describes the background, efforts and outputs of the WDS/RDA Assessment of Data Fitness for Use Working Group. This group was chartered to develop criteria, procedures for assessment of research data fitness for use, along with a means to communicate this assessment to others. It concluded with the development of a) criteria for research dataset fitness for use compared against the CoreTrustSeal requirements and FAIR principles, and b) a checklist for evaluation of dataset for fitness for use meant to supplement the CoreTrustSeal Repository Certification process. The checklist carries with it numerous caveats that exemplify the broad landscape surrounding dataset fitness assessment that this working group has mapped.

As described in our case statement, the increasing availability of research data and its evolving role as a first class scientific output in the scholarly communication requires a better understanding of and the possibility to assess data quality, which in turn can be described as conformance of data properties to data usability or fitness for use.

Thus this working group formed with the goal of producing the following deliverables:

The definition of criteria and procedures for assessment of fitness for use
The development of a system of badges/labels communicating fitness for use of individual datasets
The puzzling radio source in the cool core cluster A 2626
Creators: name: Gitti, Myriam
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report on new VLA radio observations performed at 1.4 GHz and 4.8 GHz with unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution (~1 arcsec) of the cool core cluster A 2626, which is known to possess a radio mini-halo at its center. The most unusual features of A 2626 are two elongated radio features detected in previous observations to the north and south, having morphologies not common to the typical jet-lobe structures in cool cores. In our new sensitive images the two elongated features appears clearly as bright radio arcs, and we discover the presence of a new arc to the west. These radio arcs are not detected at 4.8 GHz, implying a steep (alpha >1) spectrum, and their origin is puzzling. After subtracting the flux density contributed by these discrete features from the total flux measured at low resolution, we estimate a residual 18.0 +/- 1.8 mJy flux density of diffuse radio emission at 1.4 GHz. We therefore confirm the detection of diffuse radio emission, which appears distinct from the discrete radio arcs embedded in it. Although its radio power is lower (1.4x10^23 W/Hz) than previously known, the diffuse emission may still be classified as a radio mini-halo.

description: Green roofs (with plant cover) are gaining attention in the United States as a versatile new environmental mitigation technology. Interest in data on the environmental performance of these systems is growing, particularly with respect to urban heat island mitigation and stormwater runoff control. We are deploying research stations on a diverse array of green roofs within the New York City area, affording a new opportunity to monitor urban environmental conditions at small scales. We show some green roof systems being monitored, describe the sensor selection employed to study energy balance, and show samples of selected data. These roofs should be superior to other urban rooftops as sites for meteorological stations.

description: Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors has not been effective thus far in patients with micro-satellite stable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), which suggests an immunosuppressive mechanism operates within the tumour microenvironment (TME) of PDAC. In the KRasG12D; p53R172H; Pdx1-Cre (KPC) genetically engineered mouse model of PDAC, T cells are excluded from tumour nests and this effect is related to the chemokine CXCL12 produced by FAP+ stromal cells. Targeting the CXCL12/CXCR4 pathway with AMD3100, a CXCR4 antagonist, resulted T cell infiltration and tumor regression with anti-PD-L1 therapy in the KPC model. The CAMPLEX clinical trial was initiated to assess the safety of a 7-day AMD3100 infusion and provide proof-of-concept that AMD3100 reverses CXCL12 mediated immune-suppression in the TME. The safety and pharmacokinetic results from the CAMPLEX dose escalation phase are presented. A dose-rate of AMD3100 80ug/kg/hr was safe, reasonably well tolerated, and achieved relevant plasma concentrations at steady state. However, pharmacodynamic makers of CXCR4 inhibition, including peripheral white blood cell and CD34+ cell mobilization, were maximal at the lowest dose-rate of 20ug/kg/hr, with little drug-related adverse events. An increase in T cell infiltration was observed in paired pre/post infusion tumour biopsies in a subset of patients, consistent with the pre-clinical KPC data. To further characterize the pharmacodynamic effects of AMD3100 on the TME, additional pre-clinical experiments in the KPC model were performed. Increased CXCR4 protein expression within the TME is a robust effect of AMD3100, which was also observed in the CAMPLEX biopsies. Furthermore, there was a large increase in the infiltration of F4/80+ macrophages at 6 days in KPC mice receiving a high dose of AMD3100. Further studies are warranted to determine their source, polarization, and whether they are related to the anti-tumour effects of AMD3100.

description: Pregnancy is one of the more important periods in life when increased micronutrients, and macronutrients are most needed by the body; both for the health and well-being of the mother and for the growing foetus and newborn child. This brief review aims to identify the micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) likely to be deficient in women of reproductive age in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC), especially during pregnancy, and the impact of such deficiencies. A global prevalence of some two billion people at risk of micronutrient deficiencies, and multiple micronutrient deficiencies of many pregnant women in LMIC underline the urgency to establishing the optimal recommendations, including for delivery. It has long been recognized that adequate iron is important for best reproductive outcomes, including gestational cognitive development. Similarly, iodine and calcium have been recognized for their roles in development of the foetus/neonate. Less clear effects of deficiencies of zinc, copper, magnesium and selenium have been reported. Folate sufficiency periconceptionally is recognized both by the practice of providing folic acid in antenatal iron/folic acid supplementation and by increasing numbers of countries fortifying flours with folic acid. Other vitamins likely to be important include vitamins B12, D and A with the water-soluble vitamins generally less likely to be a problem. Epigenetic influences and the likely influence of micronutrient deficiencies on foetal origins of adult chronic diseases are currently being clarified. Micronutrients may have other more subtle, unrecognized effects. The necessity for improved diets and health and sanitation are consistently recommended, although these are not always available to many of the world’s pregnant women. Consequently, supplementation programmes, fortification of staples and condiments, and nutrition and health support need to be scaled-up, supported by social and cultural measures. Because of the life-long influences on reproductive outcomes, including inter-generational ones, both clinical and public health measures need to ensure adequate micronutrient intakes during pregnancy, but also during adolescence, the first few years of life, and during lactation. Many antenatal programmes are not currently achieving this. We aim to address the need for micronutrients during pregnancy, the importance of micronutrient deficiencies during gestation and before, and propose the scaling-up of clinical and public health approaches that achieve healthier pregnancies and improved pregnancy outcomes.
Evidence for the direct decay of the 125 GeV Higgs boson to fermions

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The discovery of a new boson with a mass of approximately 125 GeV in 2012 at the LHC has heralded a new era in understanding the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking and possibly completing the standard model of particle physics. Since the first observation in decays to gamma gamma, WW, and ZZ boson pairs, an extensive set of measurements of the mass and couplings to W and Z bosons, as well as multiple tests of the spin-parity quantum numbers, have revealed that the properties of the new boson are consistent with those of the long-sought agent responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking. An important open question is whether the new particle also couples to fermions, and in particular to down-type fermions, since the current measurements mainly constrain the couplings to the up-type top quark. Determination of the couplings to down-type fermions requires direct measurement of the corresponding Higgs boson decays, as recently reported by the CMS experiment in the study of Higgs decays to bottom quarks and tau leptons. In this paper we report the combination of these two channels which results, for the first time, in strong evidence for the direct coupling of the 125 GeV Higgs boson to down-type fermions, with an observed significance of 3.8 standard deviations, when 4.4 are expected.

It is an exploration into the effects society has on young people, the way in which mental health issues manifest in young minds, and the way the people who are closest to the individuals dealing with these issues try to adapt and understand them, and in some cases, completely ignore them. This collection utilizes magical elements to try and soften the blow of the serious issues that are being explored both internally and externally within each of the individual stories. These stories present as allegories, as well as classic story tropes with intricate twists and subversions, to make the readers uncomfortable within their comfort zones. As a whole, these stories fit in nicely within the speculative fiction spectrum, and they draw the attention of the average millennial.

description: Despite the great awareness on the health and environmental implications of poorly disposed wastewater, the continuous pollution of the environment and surface water with wastewater generated from domestic, institutional and industrial activities in many Nigerian cities still remains a major concern. As population grows with rising standard of living more wastewater is generated and disposed to sensitive environments with negative impacts on the human and ecosystems. To promote sustainable and efficient wastewater management, global attention must be drawn towards wastewater reuse for both potable and non-potable uses. This paper presents baseline information on global wastewater reuse that can serve as a valuable guide on the integration of wastewater reuse in Nigeria as a component of National Integrated Water Resources Management.

description: When solving problems of synchronizing the movement of executive bodies of technical systems, hydraulic methods are used, which are based on the use of flow stabilizers that maintain a constant speed of movement of the executive bodies when exposed to various dynamic loads. Issues related to the design, design features and numerical modeling of the flow stabilizer are considered, ensuring a given value of the volumetric flow rate of the working fluid in a wide range of pressure drops, which is determined by the spread of loads on the executive bodies. The results of computer modeling of physical processes in the flow stabilizer, formation of the appearance of the FS, methodology for determining static characteristics are studied.

description: Iron is essential for all known life due to its redox properties, however these same properties can also lead to its toxicity in overload through the production of reactive oxygen species. Robust systemic and cellular control are required to maintain safe levels of iron and the liver seems to be where this regulation is mainly located. Iron misregulation is implicated in many diseases and as our understanding of iron metabolism improves the list of iron-related disorders grows. Recent developments have resulted in greater knowledge of the fate of iron in the body and have led to a detailed map of its metabolism, however a quantitative understanding at the systems level of how its components interact to produce tight regulation remains elusive. A mechanistic computational model of human liver iron metabolism, which includes the core regulatory components, was constructed based on known mechanisms of regulation and on their kinetic properties, obtained from several publications. The model was then quantitatively validated by comparing its results with previously published physiological data, and it is able to reproduce multiple experimental findings. A time course simulation following an oral dose of iron was compared to a clinical time course study and the simulation was found to recreate the dynamics and time scale of the systems response to iron challenge. A disease simulation of haemochromatosis was created by altering a single reaction parameter that mimics a human haemochromatosis gene (HFE) mutation. The simulation provides a quantitative understanding of the liver iron overload that arises in this disease. This model supports and supplements understanding of the role of the liver as an iron sensor and provides a framework for further modelling, including simulations to identify valuable drug targets and design of experiments to improve further our knowledge of this system.

description: We present X-ray observations of the "redback" eclipsing radio millisecond pulsar and candidate radio pulsar/X-ray binary transition object PSR J1723-2837. The X-ray emission from the system is predominantly non-thermal and exhibits pronounced variability as a function of orbital phase, with a factor of ~2 reduction in brightness around superior conjunction. Such temporal behavior appears to be a defining characteristic of this variety of peculiar millisecond pulsar binaries and is likely caused by a partial geometric occultation by the main-sequence-like companion of a shock within the binary. There is no indication of diffuse X-ray emission from a bow shock or pulsar wind nebula associated with the pulsar. We also report on a search for point source emission and $γ$-ray pulsations in Fermi Large Area Telescope data using a likelihood analysis and photon probability weighting. Although PSR J1723-2837 is consistent with being a $γ$-ray point source, due to the strong Galactic diffuse emission at its position a definitive association cannot be established. No statistically significant pulsations or modulation at the orbital period are detected. For a presumed source detection, the implied $γ$-ray luminosity is $\lesssim$5% of its spin-down power. This indicates that PSR J1723-2837 is either one of the least efficient $γ$-ray producing millisecond pulsars or, if the detection is spurious, the $γ$-ray emission pattern is not directed towards us.

description: To extend the physics reach of the LHC, accelerator upgrades are planned which will increase the integrated luminosity to beyond 3000 fb^-1 and the pile-up per bunch-crossing by a factor 5 to 10. To cope with the increased occupancy and radiation damage, the ATLAS experiment plans to introduce an all-silicon inner tracker with the HL-LHC upgrade. To investigate the suitability of pixel sensors using the proven planar technology for the upgraded tracker, the ATLAS Upgrade Planar Pixel Sensor R&D Project (PPS) was established comprising 19 institutes and more than 80 scientists. Main areas of research are the performance assessment of planar pixel sensors with different designs and substrate thicknesses up to the HL-LHC fluence, the achievement of slim or active edges to provide low geometric inefficiencies without the need for shingling of modules and the exploration of possibilities for cost reduction to enable the instrumentation of large areas. This paper gives an overview of recent accomplishments and ongoing work of the R&D project.
Are the Kepler Near-Resonance Planet Pairs due to Tidal Dissipation?

description: The multiple-planet systems discovered by the Kepler mission show an excess of planet pairs with period ratios just wide of exact commensurability for first-order resonances like 2:1 and 3:2. In principle, these planet pairs could have both resonance angles associated with the resonance librating if the orbital eccentricities are sufficiently small, because the width of first-order resonances diverges in the limit of vanishingly small eccentricity. We consider a widely-held scenario in which pairs of planets were captured into first-order resonances by migration due to planet-disk interactions, and subsequently became detached from the resonances, due to tidal dissipation in the planets. In the context of this scenario, we find a constraint on the ratio of the planet's tidal dissipation function and Love number that implies that some of the Kepler planets are likely solid. However, tides are not strong enough to move many of the planet pairs to the observed separations, suggesting that additional dissipative processes are at play.

description: The 2005 election of Evo Morales as the president of Bolivia marked a moment of celebration for the social movements who backed the rise to power of the Movimiento al Socialismo party (MAS – Movement for Socialism), with Morales as its leader. Morales adopted discourses derived from popularly supported Buen Vivir, alternatives to development, social and solidarity economies, and other forms of localized political and economic autonomy, creating a politics of possibility around such proposals. However, despite initial commitments and actions taken by Morales to improve well-being without replicating historically unsustainable and destructive pathways to industrial development, Bolivia continues to be characterized by fiscal dependence and macroeconomic prioritization of growth-centric policies sustained by extractive activities. In addition, the country is now rife with socio-environmental conflict. This paper will explore Morales’ neglect of longer-term political goals for economic independence, self-sufficiency, and sustainability by considering competing theories of social movements, political parties, and the state that provide different lenses for understanding MAS’ abandonment of its original political platform for change, Twenty-First Century Socialism (Socialismo del Siglo XXI). The paper reveals how the current scenario creates new barriers for the social movements that continue to uphold proposals for sustainable futures, including deepened structural entrenchment in extractivism, the cooptation of alternatives to development proposals by government, the division of once-unified popular fronts, shifting electoral constituencies, and the emergence of new economic elites. Lessons from the Bolivian case are significant for guiding wider efforts at building sustainable alternatives to capitalist development.
Statistical mechanics of Roskilde liquids: Configurational adiabats, specific heat contours and density dependence of the scaling exponent

description: We derive exact results for the rate of change of thermodynamic quantities, in particular the configurational specific heat at constant volume, $C_V$, along configurational adiabats (curves of constant excess entropy $S_{\textrm{ex}}$). Such curves are designated isomorphs for so-called Roskilde liquids, in view of the invariance of various structural and dynamical quantities along them. Their slope in a double logarithmic representation of the density-temperature phase diagram, $γ$ can be interpreted as one third of an effective inverse power-law potential exponent. We show that in liquids where $γ$ increases (decreases) with density, the contours of $C_V$ have smaller (larger) slope than configurational adiabats. We clarify also the connection between $γ$ and the pair potential. A fluctuation formula for the slope of the $C_V$-contours is derived. The theoretical results are supported with data from computer simulations of two systems, the Lennard-Jones fluid and the Girifalco fluid. The sign of $dγ/dρ$ is thus a third key parameter in characterizing Roskilde liquids, after $γ$ and the virial-potential energy correlation coefficient $R$. To go beyond isomorph theory we compare invariance of a dynamical quantity, the self-diffusion coefficient along adiabats and $C_V$-contours, finding it more invariant along adiabats.

description: The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is an upcoming NASA Small Explorer satellite mission scheduled for launch in 2027 and designed to conduct an all-sky survey in the energy range of 0.2-5 MeV. Its instrument consists of an array of germanium detectors surrounded on four sides and underneath by active shields that work as anticoincidence system (ACS) to reduce the contribution of background events in the detectors. These shields are composed of bismuth germanium oxide (BGO), a scintillator material, coupled with Silicon photomultipliers, aimed to collect optical photons produced from interaction of ionizing particles in the BGO and convert them into an electric signal. The reference simulation framework for COSI is MEGAlib, a set of software tools based on the Geant4 toolkit. The interaction point of the incoming radiation, the design of the ACS modules and the BGO surface treatment change the light collection and the overall shielding accuracy. The use of the Geant4 optical physics library, with the simulation of the scintillation process, is mandatory for a more realistic evaluation of the ACS performances. However, including the optical processes in MEGAlib would dramatically increase the computing time of the COSI simulations. We propose the use of a response function encoding the energy resolution and 3D light yield correction based on a separate Geant4 simulation of the ACS that includes the full optical interaction. We present the verification of the Geant4 optical physics library against analytical computations and available laboratory measurements obtained using PMTs as readout device, as a preparatory phase for the simulation of the COSI ACS response.

description: Unusual events are important as being possible indicators of undesired consequences. Moreover, unusualness in everyday life activities may also be amusing to watch as proven by the popularity of such videos shared in social media. Discovery of unusual events in videos is generally attacked as a problem of finding usual patterns, and then separating the ones that do not resemble to those. In this study, we address the problem from the other side, and try to answer what type of patterns are shared among unusual videos that make them resemble to each other regardless of the ongoing event. With this challenging problem at hand, we propose a novel descriptor to encode the rapid motions in videos utilizing densely extracted trajectories. The proposed descriptor, which is referred to as trajectory snipped histograms, is used to distinguish unusual videos from usual videos, and further exploited to discover snapshots in which unusualness happen. Experiments on domain specific people falling videos and unrestricted funny videos show the effectiveness of our method in capturing unusualness.
