description: The Science Mesh is designed to be a highly distributed platform with a very lightweight and almost fully decentralized infrastructure. It consists of several Independent Sites running their own Enterprise File Sync and Share systems. Each of the Sites is expected to be sustainable by itself financially and each of them has their own policies and procedures related to user management, data handling, operations, and security. Finally, each of the Sites has their own SLDs or SLAs with their clients and/or the users for which they run the service. These sites, instead of operating as a disjoint collection of service islands, become nodes in a mesh of interconnected storage, applications and users. Interoperability between EFSS services is guaranteed by the Open Cloud Mesh standard1 (OCM). To this “technical” coupling of nodes through the OCM standard, Science Mesh will add agreed-upon policies and procedures with respect to operations and security, together with a governance structure. The goal is to create a coherent Infrastructure that can guarantee a service level having an adequate quality. Operational procedures to achieve this are described in this document and the documents it references. Science Mesh’s small technical footprint will be matched by an equally lean administrative structure. It is our aim to rely as much as possible on policies, procedures, and agreements that are already locally available, and augment them with what is necessary for the Science Mesh to operate. This will also help with the platform’s future sustainability and funding of activities, by keeping overhead costs as low as possible. In this document several acronyms are used. These are explained in the Science Mesh Glossary.

description: In the recent paper "Reparametrizations of continuous paths", J. Homotopy Relat. Struct. 2 (2007), 93-117 (with U. Fahrenberg), we performed a systematic investigation of reparametrizations of continuous paths in a Hausdorff space that relies crucially on a proper understanding of stop data of a (weakly increasing) reparametrization of the unit interval. I am grateful to Marco Grandis (Genova) for pointing out to me that the proof of Proposition 3.7 in that paper is wrong. Fortunately, the statement of that Proposition and the results depending on it stay correct. It is the purpose of this note to provide correct proofs.

API Protocols

description: This document describes the development and definition of a set of vendor-neutral protocols and APIs necessary to build the full Science Mesh service, including federated sharing of data, access to application functionality and infrastructure integration. Our approach is based on: maturing and extending protocols already in use by CS3 community (e.g. OCM, CS3APIs) with the aim to advance these protocols from TRL6 to TRL9; adopting other existing standard protocols wherever appropriate (e.g. WOPI, WebDAV,...). This document is divided in several sections. Core APIs identifies the core APIs and protocols for the Science Mesh service: OCM and CS3APIs. Use Cases further explores the usage of these interfaces in the four reference application workflows developed in the context of Work Package 4: Data Science Environments, Open Data Systems, Collaborative Document Editing and On-Demand Data Transfers. EFSS integration with IOP section describes the architecture connecting EFSS with the Interoperability Platform (IOP). IOP provides the reference implementation for the Core and Use-Case APIs. Integration of Peer-to-Peer architecture with IOP is described based on the Cubbit implementation. ScienceMesh Infrastructure APIs are presented for monitoring endpoints.

description: The collimation efficiency for Pb ion beams in the LHC is predicted to be lower than requirements. Nuclear fragmentation and electromagnetic dissociation in the primary collimators create fragments with a wide range of Z/A ratios, which are not intercepted by the secondary collimators but lost where the dispersion has grown sufficiently large. In this article we present measurements and simulations of loss patterns generated by a prototype LHC collimator in the CERN SPS. Measurements were performed at two different energies and angles of the collimator. We also compare with proton loss maps and find a qualitative difference between Pb ions and protons, with the maximum loss rate observed at different places in the ring. This behavior was predicted by simulations and provides a valuable benchmark of our understanding of ion beam losses caused by collimation.

Delivering operational optimisation of cell therapy manufacturing through appropriate process characterisation and modelling

Publisher: name: Loughborough University

Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Cell therapies (CT) use cells to treat health conditions, and pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) have been identified as a promising cell candidate given their therapeutic potential. However, manufacturing these cells poses challenges because of the insufficient understanding of how cellular behaviour responds to process operations. A commonly used methodology to overcome this problem is characterising how the variability in process parameters affects cell-product quality. Despite the availability of tools to characterise this operational region, CT manufacturing is challenging to characterise due to the lack of understanding of their mechanisms of action and the inherent complexity of live cell products. This study presents a framework to characterise the interactions between a PSC and its manufacturing process, understanding better how its behaviour determines manufacturing outcomes and establishing strategies for its manufacturing control. Areas relevant to manufacturing operations were characterised as novel case studies: cell expansion, feeding operations and cell type selection. The first developed a computational model to represent cell dynamics and identified growth inhibitors affecting cell expansion. The second explored cells-medium interactions as drivers of growth inhibition, as well as of feeding operations. Then a framework was developed to supplement medium components on an as-needed basis. Thus, reducing the medium volume required for cell expansion. The third used the computational model to identify manufacturing control strategies for genetically and non-genetically variant PSCs. By exploring the prevalence of both populations in culture, the model predicted how variability of process parameters affects population prevalence, leading to the identification of manufacturing control strategies. Overall, this thesis shows that process characterisation and modelling help us to better understand how PSC behaviour interacts with manufacturing outcomes, thereby broadening knowledge in CT process operations compared to previous work. The developed framework is transferable across various cell lines and can be adapted to support different objectives such as population selection and feed optimisation. This understanding can be used to develop more efficient manufacturing processes, as well as predict the impact of process changes, providing a valuable tool in CT development.

description: We present the first results of a high-resolution study of the distribution and kinematics of molecular gas in two nearby radio galaxies, 4C31.04 and 3C293, representative of two different stages of evolution in radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN). These observations, conducted with the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI), map with unprecedented spatial resolution (0.5"-1") and sensitivity the emission and absorption of key molecular species such as CO, HCN and HCO+. We report on the detection of a kinematically disturbed and massive (Mgas~10^10Msun) molecular/dusty disk of ~1.4kpc-size fueling the central engine of the compact symmetric object (CSO) 4C31.04. We also report on the detection of a massive (Mgas~10^10Msun) regularly rotating ~7kpc-size disk in the FRII radio galaxy 3C293. A complex system of molecular line absorptions is detected against the mm-continuum source of this galaxy (AGN and jet). We compare the properties of the molecular disks in the two sources and discuss them in the light of the different theories describing the evolution of radio galaxies.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti's The house of life and the biographical imperative
Creators: name: Cummings, Denise Louise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this thesis is to determine the importance of biographical inreading to a study of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's The House of Life. Although most of Rossetti's critics have predicated a biographical imperative in examining this work, the validity of their approach can be seriously questioned. The tendency to employ biographical criticism perhaps stems from an excessive concern on the part of both biographers and critics with the sensational details of Rossetti's life. Because of this concern, The House of Life has been treated more as an autobiographical record than, as an integral work of art. It is necessary to re-examine the poem through some approach other than the biographical. Chapter One outlines three standard approaches to the study of literature. The first, the historical or extrinsic, includes the study of the poet's biography as well as the various external influences on him. The second, the organic or intrinsic, concentrates on internal aspects of the literature, such as imagery and form. The third, the synthetic, is a more fluid approach than the other two in that it attempts to employ all available tools of literary criticism, including biography. Chapter Two reviews certain pertinent facts about Rossetti's life and considers a number of biographies and biographical studies which have appeared since his death, and which, to a considerable extent, have created an inaccurate legend about him. Chapter Three considers the specific problem of biographical inreading in The House of Life, and discusses some of the criticism based on that inreading. It also traces the general development of The House of Life from the two essentially biographical preliminary versions (the Fortnightly Review sonnets, and the Kelmscott sonnets) to the complete version of 1881. Chapter Four examines The House of Life as a work of art rather than as a biographical document. A reading of the poem is suggested in which The House of Life is seen as a series of cycles depicting the "transfigured" life of the poet. An exegetical analysis of The House of Life necessarily involves the critic in an examination of biographical data. However, once the development of the sequence has been traced, the critic must employ intrinsic criteria in order to determine the essential structure of the poem. In other words, the best approach to The House of Life synthesizes both the extrinsic and intrinsic methods of criticism.

description: We reconsider the issue of superluminal propagation in the DGP model of infrared modified gravity. Superluminality was argued to exist in certain otherwise physical backgrounds by using a particular, physically relevant scaling limit of the theory. In this paper, we exhibit explicit five-dimensional solutions of the full theory that are stable against small fluctuations and that indeed support superluminal excitations. The scaling limit is neither needed nor invoked in deriving the solutions or in the analysis of its small fluctuations. To be certain that the superluminality found here is physical, we analyze the retarded Green's function of the scalar excitations, finding that it is causal and stable, but has support on a widened light-cone. We propose to use absence of superluminal propagation as a method to constrain the parameters of the DGP model. As a first application of the method, we find that whenever the 4D energy density is a pure cosmological constant and a hierarchy of scales exists between the 4D and 5D Planck masses, superluminal propagation unavoidably occurs.

description: This document accompanies the Work Package deliverable D2.1, which is a demo available as a video (screen recording) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0PlqiUBT0I. The demonstration itself would be of little information value without proper explanation. Moreover, the demo format does not provide opportunities to explain design decisions that led to the approach taken to build this federated EFSS infrastructure. Besides the demo description, this document sums up the first project year in Work Package 2, reporting on its progress during this time period. Note that this document summarises the work done in the first year and some topics in this document are still subject to discussion and have thus not been finalised yet.
 As of the inception of the project proposal, which was written between December 2018 and January 2019, it was expected that deliverable D2.1 would be about a demonstration of implemented federated identity management. We then held the view that federated identity management was crucial for the project and the sharing of data and applications over different Enterprise File Sync and Share (EFSS) systems could not exist without it. There has been extensive insight ever since that this may not be the best approach to tackle the problem. The Interoperability Platform (IOP) that is currently under development and has been deployed at majority of partner sites, plays a significant role in federating the infrastructure. Amongst other things, we have considered the option that the IOP would implement an invitation workflow, which would be of key importance to solving this issue in an elegant way. This workflow would result in an exchange of tokens which would allow users to share data and applications over different EFSS installations at different sites where they only need to know each other's email addresses or similar contacts. While still agreeing that federated identity and group management systems can be used for this end, we have realized that they are by no means a necessity in order to create the mesh functionality that the CS3MESH4EOSC project aims to deliver.
 In Section 2 we describe the demo itself. The description should be self-contained for readers and demo viewers who are just interested in the status of things. More in-depth information may be found in the subsequent sections, especially reasoning behind the design decisions. User, group and application workflows are described in Section 3. Building the Science Mesh federative infrastructure with AAI, monitoring, accounting, security, mesh governance and requirements related to the ingress of new sites are described in Section 4. In Section 5 we list the sites which have currently deployed the interoperability platform. Section 6 deals with entering EOSC and the requirements that need to be fulfilled. Finally, Section 7 contains a brief discussion about future work.

Kinetics of copper reduction by hydrogen from aquaeous solutions.
Creators: name: Hahn, Edmund Alexander Joachim
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The kinetics of the hydrogen reduction of aqueous cupric perchlorate and sulphate solutions were studied at 160°C and 5 to 10 atm hydrogen pressure. In sulphate solutions the observed rates were consistent with a rate law, derived from previously proposed mechanisms, that has the form [ Equations omitted ] The rate constants of the hydrogen activation steps of the reaction are represented by k₁and k₃ which reflect the activation rates by Cu'' and Cu' respectively and have the values 3.2 X 10¯³M¯¹sec¯¹ and 6.4 X 10¯²M¯¹sec¯¹ at 160°C. The ratios of the back- to net forward-reaction rate constants are k-₁/k₂ for the Cu'' activation step and k-₃/k₄ for the Cu' activation step. These have values of approximately 0.13 and 0.45 respectively at 160°C. In perchlorate solutions the rates were also consistent with the rate law applying to sulphate solutions if a necessary correction due to perchlorate decomposition was taken into account. In this system the second term of this rate law was found to be much smaller and more difficult to resolve. For the first term the value of k₁ was found to be 6.7 X 10¯³M¯¹sec¯¹ at 160°C and the value of k-₁/k₂ was 0.51. Exchange experiments with deuterium in place of hydrogen were also done. These gave rates consistent with previously proposed mechanisms, but in perchlorate solutions much higher exchange rates were observed than in sulphate solutions. The indicated value of k₃ is approximately the same in perchlorate as in sulphate solutions and the indicated value of k-₃/k₄ is much greater in perchlorate solutions.

description: We present electronic structure calculations of few-layer epitaxial graphene nanoribbons on SiC(0001). Trough an atomistic description of the graphene layers and the substrate within the extended Hückel Theory and real/momentum space projections we argue that the role of the heterostructure's interface becomes crucial for the conducting capacity of the studied systems. The key issue arising from this interaction is a Fermi level pinning effect introduced by dangling interface bonds. Such phenomenon is independent from the width of the considered nanostructures, compromising the importance of confinement in these systems.

description: We analyze the phase diagram of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with fundamental matter in the presence of a background magnetic field and nonzero baryon number. We identify an isolated quantum critical point separating two differently ordered finite density phases. The ingredients that give rise to this transition are generic in a holographic setup, leading us to conjecture that such critical points should be rather common. In this case, the quantum phase transition is second order with mean-field exponents. We characterize the neighborhood of the critical point at small temperatures and identify some signatures of a new phase dominated by the critical point. We also identify the line of transitions between the finite density and zero density phases. The line is completely determined by the mass of the lightest charged quasiparticle at zero density. Finally, we measure the magnetic susceptibility and find hints of fermion condensation at large magnetic field.

description: After three years of no unusual activity, Anomalous X-ray Pulsar 1E 1048.1-5937 reactivated in 2007 March. We report on the detection of a large glitch (Delta(nu)/nu =1.63(2)X~10^{-5}) on 2007 March 26 (MJD 54185.9), contemporaneous with the onset of a pulsed-flux flare, the third flare observed from this source in 10 years of monitoring with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. Additionally, we report on a detailed study of the evolution of the timing properties, the pulsed flux, and the pulse profile of this source as measured by RXTE from 1996 July to 2008 January. In our timing study, we attempted phase coherent timing of all available observations. We show that in 2001, a timing anomaly of uncertain nature occurred near the rise of the first pulsed flux flare; we show that a likely glitch (Delta(nu)/nu =2.91(9)X10^{-6}) occurred in 2002, near the rise of the second flare, and we present a detailed description of the variations in the spin-down. In our pulsed flux study, we compare the decays of the three flares and discuss changes in the hardness ratio. In our pulse profile study, we show that the profile exhibited large variations near the peak of the first two flares, and several small short-term profile variations during the most recent flare. Finally, we report on the discovery of a small burst 27 days after the peak of the last flare, the fourth burst discovered from this source. We discuss the relationships between the observed properties in the framework of the magnetar model.

Creators: name: Ashwannie, Harripersaud

Year: 2025
Subjects: Single parenthood, educational outcomes, Child development, Socio-economic disparities, Policy interventions

description: The prevalence of single-parent households worldwide has sparked extensive research on the developmental outcomes of children raised in such family structures. One crucial aspect of child development is education, which serves as a fundamental determinant of future socioeconomic mobility. This study explores the impact of single parenthood on children’s educational outcomes by reviewing existing scientific literature. The analysis reveals that children from single-parent families often face challenges related to emotional, psychological, and social development, which, in turn, affect their academic performance. Key factors influencing these educational disparities include reduced parental time allocation to childrearing and the financial constraints associated with single-income households. Additionally, the study examines differences in outcomes between children raised by single mothers versus single fathers, highlighting the varying degrees of disadvantage they experience. Socioeconomic status further exacerbates these disparities, as children from lower-income single-parent households are disproportionately affected. The findings underscore the need for targeted policy interventions to mitigate the adverse effects of single parenthood on children’s education. Strategies such as financial support, educational programs, and community-based initiatives are essential in bridging the gap and promoting equal opportunities for all children. By addressing these disparities, policymakers and educators can contribute to more equitable educational outcomes and long-term social mobility
Effect of fingerprints orientation on skin vibrations during tactile exploration of textured surfaces

description: In humans, the tactile perception of fine textures is mediated by skin vibrations when scanning the surface with the fingertip. These vibrations are encoded by specific mechanoreceptors, Pacinian corpuscules (PCs), located about 2 mm below the skin surface. In a recent article, we performed experiments using a biomimetic sensor which suggest that fingerprints (epidermal ridges) may play an important role in shaping the subcutaneous stress vibrations in a way which facilitates their processing by the PC channel. Here we further test this hypothesis by directly recording the modulations of the fingerpad/substrate friction force induced by scanning an actual fingertip across a textured surface. When the fingerprints are oriented perpendicular to the scanning direction, the spectrum of these modulations shows a pronounced maximum around the frequency v/lambda, where v is the scanning velocity and lambda the fingerprints period. This simple biomechanical result confirms the relevance of our previous finding for human touch.

Color Distributions, Number and Mass Densities of Massive Galaxies at 1.5 < z < 3: Comparing Observations with Merger Simulations

description: We present a comparison between the observed color distribution, number and mass density of massive galaxies at 1.5 < z < 3 and a model by Hopkins et al. that relates the quasar and galaxy population on the basis of gas-rich mergers. In order to test the hypothesis that quiescent red galaxies are formed after a gas-rich merger involving quasar activity, we confront photometry of massive (M > 4x10^10 Msun) galaxies extracted from the FIRES, GOODS-South, and MUSYC surveys, together spanning an area of 496 arcmin^2, with synthetic photometry from hydrodynamical merger simulations. As in the Hopkins et al. (2006b) model, we use the observed quasar luminosity function to estimate the merger rate. We find that the synthetic U-V and V-J colors of galaxies that had a quasar phase in their past match the colors of observed galaxies that are best characterized by a quiescent stellar population. At z ~ 2.6, the observed number and mass density of quiescent red galaxies with M > 4x10^10 Msun is consistent with the model in which every quiescent massive galaxy underwent a quasar phase in the past. At z ~ 1.9, 2.8 times less quiescent galaxies are observed than predicted by the model as descendants of higher redshift quasars. The merger model also predicts a large number of galaxies undergoing merger-driven star formation. We find that the predicted number and mass density accounts for 30-50% of the observed massive star-forming galaxies. However, their colors do not match those of observed star-forming galaxies. In particular, the colors of dusty red galaxies are not reproduced by the simulations. Several possible origins of this discrepancy are discussed. The observational constraints on the validity of the model are currently limited by cosmic variance and uncertainties in stellar population synthesis and radiative transfer.

description: We study dynamics of a ball moving in gravitational field and colliding with a moving table. The motion of the limiter is assumed as periodic with piecewise constant velocity - it is assumed that the table moves up with a constant velocity and then moves down with another constant velocity. The Poincare map, describing evolution from an impact to the next impact, is derived and scenarios of transition to chaotic dynamics are investigated analytically.

description: The Double Chooz experiment will use the electron antineutrinos produced by the Chooz nuclear power station to search for a non-vanishing value of the Theta_13 neutrino mixing angle. Double Chooz will be the first of a new generation of neutrino experiments using identical detectors at different distances from the neutrino source to reduce the systematic errors due to the uncertainties on the neutrino flux and to the detector acceptance. The far detector is expected to be operative by the beginning of 2010. Installation of the near detector will occur in 2010.

Brane Inflation and the Overshoot Problem

description: We investigate recent claims that brane inflation solves the overshoot problem through a combination of microphysical restrictions on the phase space of initial conditions and the existence of the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) attractor in regimes where the slow-roll attractor does not apply. Carrying out a comprehensive analysis of the parameter space allowed by the latest advances in brane inflation model-building, we find that these restrictions are insufficient to solve the overshoot problem. The vast majority of the phase space of initial conditions is still dominated by overshoot trajectories. We present an analytic proof that the brane-inflationary attractor must be close to the slow-roll limit, and update the predictions for observables such as non-Gaussianity, cosmic string tension and tensor modes.

$p\bar{p} \to Λ_c \barΛ_c$ within the generalized parton picture - first results

description: We study proton-antiproton annihilation into $Λ_c \barΛ_c$ pairs within the generalized parton picture. Our starting point is the double handbag diagram which is shown to factorize into soft generalized parton distributions for the $p \to Λ_c$ (and $\bar{p} \to \barΛ_c$) transition and a hard subprocess amplitude for $u \bar{u} \to c \bar{c}$. Thereby the mass of the charm quark is taken as the hard scale so that our results are not restricted to large scattering angles and/or incredibly large energies. Modelling the generalized parton distributions for the $p\to Λ_c$ transition by an overlap of simple quark-diquark light-cone wave functions we make first predictions for $p\to Λ_c$ transition form factors and unpolarized $p\bar{p} \to Λ_c \barΛ_c$ cross sections. Our findings may become interesting in view of forthcoming experiments at FAIR in Darmstadt.
