description: While kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) have been well studied for decades since their initial discovery, the cause of these signals remains unknown, as no model has been able to accurately predict all of their spectral and timing properties. Separately, X-ray reverberation lags have been detected in AGN and stellar-mass black hole binaries, and reverberation may be expected to occur in neutron star systems as well, producing lags of the same amplitude as the lags measured of the kHz QPOs. Furthermore, the detection of a relativistically reflected Fe K line in the time-averaged spectra of many neutron star systems provides an additional motivation for testing reverberation. While it has been shown that the lag-energy properties of the lower kHz QPOs are unlikely to be produced by X-ray reverberation, the upper kHz QPOs have not yet been explored. We therefore model the upper kHz QPO lag-energy spectra using relativistic ray-tracing functions and apply them to archival RXTE data on 4U 1728-34 where upper kHz QPOs have been detected. By modeling the time-averaged spectra in which upper kHz QPOs had been significantly detected, we determine the reflected flux fraction across all energies and produce a model for the lag-energy spectra from X-ray reverberation. We explore the dependence of the modeled lag properties on several different types of reflection models, but are unable to successfully reproduce the measured lags of 4U 1728-34. We conclude that reverberation alone does not explain the measured time lags detected in upper kHz QPOs.

description: We consider the interaction of the partonic fluctuation of a scalar ``photon'' with an external color field to calculate the leading and next-to-leading order gluon distribution of the proton following the work done by Dosch-Hebecker-Metz-Pirner. We relate these gluon distributions to the short and long distance behavior of the cross section of an adjoint dipole scattering off a proton. The leading order result is a constant while the next-to-leading order result shows a ln(1/x) enhancement at small x. To get numerical results for the gluon distributions at the initial scale Q^2_0=1.8 GeV^2, we compute the adjoint dipole-proton cross section in the loop-loop correlation model. Quark distributions at the same initial scale are parametrized according to Regge theory. We evolve quark and gluon distributions to higher Q^2 values using the DGLAP equation and compute charm and proton structure functions in the small-x region for different Q^2 values.

description: Researchers seeking single sheets of large paper map sets have benefited little from the development of library union catalogs, discovery layers, and other digital finding aids. Finding specific sheets is critical for researchers conducting fieldwork anywhere in the world in nearly any discipline. Accurate geographic tagging of individual sheets, however, presents a vast metadata creation burden and interface challenges. Several efforts have tried and failed over the years to make a self-sustaining multi-institutional geographically-indexed map database. This presentation will describe a project currently underway to make and freely share paper map set shapefiles between libraries. Using the fishnet function, this project has made and shared over a hundred standard map indexes. Each institution need only mark their individual holdings.

description: The root cause diagnostics of product quality defects in multistage manufacturing processes often requires a joint identification of crucial stages and process variables. To meet this requirement, this article proposes a novel penalized matrix regression methodology for two-dimensional variable selection. The method regresses a scalar response variable against a matrix-based predictor using a generalized linear model. The unknown regression coefficient matrix is decomposed as a product of two factor matrices. The rows of the first factor matrix and the columns of the second factor matrix are simultaneously penalized to inspire sparsity. To estimate the parameters, we develop a Block Coordinate Proximal Descent (BCPD) optimization algorithm, which cyclically solves two convex sub-optimization problems. We have proved that the BCPD algorithm always converges to a critical point with any initialization. In addition, we have also proved that each of the sub-optimization problems has a closed-form solution if the response variable follows a distribution whose (negative) log-likelihood function has a Lipschitz continuous gradient. A simulation study and a dataset from a real-world application are used to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Chasing a wild goose: The quest for good data management in a Software as a Service world
Creators: name: Mohr, Alicia Hofelich
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: From cloud storage to online data collection platforms, software as a service (SaaS) tools are becoming core parts of the research workflow. These tools offer powerful and convenient services at low cost, but come at the expense of control. Trying to maintain precise and consistent workflows using these tools can often feel as futile as a wild goose chase. SaaS companies host tools centrally, and can (and do) change functionality without warning. Parts of a workflow or documentation may break down when interfaces, buttons, or functionalities are "updated", providing a challenge for data management and reproducibility. This PechaKucha will describe highs and lows of pursuing good data management in SaaS tools -- maintaining the hope that we can at least stay close to, although perhaps never catch, the goose in the end.

description: The van der Waals dispersion interaction between two chiral molecules in the presence of arbirary magnetoelectric media is derived using perturbation theory. To be general, the molecular polarisabilities are assumed to be of electric, paramagnetic and diamagnetic natures and the material environment is considered to possess a chiral electromagnetic response. The derived formulas of electric-chiral, paramagnetic-chiral, diamagnetic-chiral and chiral-chiral interaction potentials when added to the previously obtained contributions in literature, form a complete set of dispersion interaction formulas. We present them in a unified form making use of electric--magnetic duality. As an application, the case of two anisotropic molecules in free space is considered where we drive the retarded and non-retarded limits with respect to intermolecular distance.

Otherness & Enoughness : Aesthetic and Architecture
Creators: name: Boila, Sarah
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The following book contains two parts, both exploring the aesthetic concept of otherness and enoughness in architecture; part one through thinking, part two through feeling. Part one through thinking presents incongruities amongst familiarity as an unavoidable condition of life, and builds a connection between this part of the lived experience and the aesthetic of otherness and enoughness, composed itself of incongruities amongst familiarity. Theory discussing familiarity, nostalgia, everyday aesthetics, boredom, the uncanny, defamiliarization, humour, and tragedy, are presented. Aesthetic movements that have incorporated incongruities amongst familiarities, including mannerism, dadaism, and postmodernism, are discussed, and contemporary expressions of otherness and enoughness are highlighted. Part two through feeling communicates the concept of otherness and enoughness using form and aesthetic.
Secure remote access to confidential data in France

description: CASD (Secure Data Access Centre, "Centre d'Accès Sécurisé aux Données") is a service designed to allow researchers to remotely and securely work with highly-detailed microdata. Such data are confidential insofar as they are often subject to specific secrecy or confidentiality measures: professional, statistical, bank or medical confidentiality; business or tax secrecy; etc. In brief, the data available through CASD are very precise, directly or indirectly re-identifying, and constitute a broad mine of detailed information. Making such data available requires the highest standards of security to guarantee confidentiality and traceability. Today, CASD provides access to data from the National Statistical Institute (Insee), the Ministries for Justice, Education, Agriculture, and Finance, and also to more and more health microdata. New data sources are constantly being added to the CASD catalogue, thus enlarging the field of investigation offered to research communities. CASD users have various profiles: researchers, consultants, data scientists, physicians working on health data, geo-statisticians, etc. The remote access technology allows widening access to microdata to more and more researchers all across Europe, and for more and more data sources made available in a centralized place, facilitating comparison and data matching.
The Physics of Supernova Remnant Blast Waves. II. Electron-Ion Equilibration in DEM L71 in the Large Magellanic Cloud

description: We present analysis and modeling of X-ray spectra from the blast wave shock of DEM L71. We have used both Chandra ACIS-S data and optical Fabry-Perot spectra of the blast wave to measure the electron and proton temperatures, respectively. In principle, when combined, these measurements can determine the degree of electron-ion temperature equilibration (g_0 = T_e/T_p) immediately behind the shock front. In our X-ray analysis we fit Chandra spectra of three nested regions behind the blast wave under three different scenarios: (1) a planar, initially unequilibrated shock (g_0 = m_e/m_p), where the downstream electron and proton temperatures equilibrate through Coulomb collisions, (2) a planar, immediately equilibrated shock (g_0 = 1) and (3) a spherical, equilibrated shock under Sedov evolution. Using independent measurements of T_e and T_p we find that the X-ray spectra from the fastest blast wave locations (V_s~700-1000 km/s) are consistent with little or no equilibration at the shock front and are inconsistent with full equilibration. In contrast, spectra from regions showing slower blast wave speeds (V_s~400-600 km/s) allow full equilibration but exclude zero equilibration. In order to directly constrain the initial equilibration, we incorporated our knowledge of the proton temperatures into our X-ray models to build planar shock models that allowed for a variable g_0. This model confirmed and strengthened the above results. Specifically, we found that X-ray spectra from an intermediate velocity shock (V_s~800 km/s) were consistent with intermediate equilibration, excluding both g_0 = m_e/m_p and g_0 = 1 at greater than 1 sigma. Overall, our results support the picture of decreasing electron-ion equilibration with increasing shock speed.

description: We calculate analytically the spectrum of the Andreev bound states in a half-infinite superconducting wire with an arbitrary number of bands crossing the chemical potential. The normal state of the wire is assumed to have an antiunitary symmetry A (time reversal or its combination with a crystallographic point group operation), with A^2=-1 or +1. This symmetry may be broken by the superconducting order parameter and/or the boundary scattering. We present a model-independent proof of the existence of one Majorana mode near the end of the wire with an odd number of bands.

description: Using a combination of N-body simulations with different resolutions, we study in detail how the concentrations of cold dark matter (CDM) halos depend on halo mass at different redshifts. We confirm that halo concentrations at the present time depend strongly on halo mass, but our results also show marked differences from the predictions of some early empirical models. Our main result is that the mass dependence of the concentrations becomes weaker at higher redshifts, and at z >~ 3 halos of mass greater than 10^{11} Msun/h all have a similar median concentration, c ~ 3.5. While the median concentrations of low-mass halos grow significantly with time, those of massive halos change only little with redshifts. These results are quantitatively in good agreement with the empirical model proposed by Zhao et al. which shows that halos in the early fast accretion phase all have similar concentrations.

description: Aim of this paper is to provide a review of the state of the art in Search and Rescue (SAR) robotics. Suitable robotic applications in the SAR domain are described, and SAR-specific demands and requirements on the various components of a robotic system are pictured. Current research and development in SAR robotics is outlined, and an overview of robotic systems and sub-systems currently in use in SAR and disaster response scenarios is given. Finally we show a number of possible research directions for SAR robots, which might change the overall design and operation of SAR robotics in the longer-term future. All this is meant to support our main idea of taking SAR applications as an applied benchmark for the Field Robotics (FR) domain.

description: The pairwise entanglement is exactly examined in the spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg double-tetrahedral chain with different Landé g-factors of the Ising and Heisenberg spins at zero and finite temperatures. It is shown that the phenomenon present in quantum non-chiral ground states is twice as strong as in quantum chiral ground states and that it gradually diminishes with increasing temperature until it completely vanishes at a certain threshold temperature. It is also demonstrated that the strong magnetic field maintains a weak thermal entanglement quite far from the saturation field, although the ground state is non-entangled.

description: The KASCADE experiment measures a high number of EAS observables with a large degree of sampling of the electron-photon, muon, and hadron components. It provides accurate data for an event-by-event analysis of the primary cosmic ray flux in the energy range around the knee. The possibility of selecting samples of enriched proton and iron induced extensive air showers by applying the statistical techniques of multivariate analyses is scrutinized using detailed Monte Carlo simulations of three different primaries. The purity and efficiency of the proton and iron classified events is investigated. After obtaining enriched samples from the measured data by application of the procedures the reconstructed number of hadrons, hadronic energy and other parameters are investigated in the primary energy range 1-10 PeV. By comparing these shower parameters for purified proton and iron events, respectively, with simulated distributions an attempt is made to check the validity of strong interaction models at high energies.

description: Dual canonical bases are expected to satisfy a certain (double) triangularity property by Leclerc's conjecture. We propose an analogous conjecture for common triangular bases of quantum cluster algebras. We show that a weaker form of the analogous conjecture is true. Our result applies to the dual canonical bases of quantum unipotent subgroups. It also applies to the $t$-analogs of $q$-characters of simple modules of quantum affine algebras.
title: Being a team player: Approaching team coordination in sports in dialog with ecological and praxeological approaches
Creators: name: Thonhauser, Gerhard
Publisher: name: Frontiers Media S.A.
Year: 2024

description: This paper discusses key conceptual resources for an understanding of coordination processes in team sports. It begins by exploring the action guidance provided by the environment, studied in terms of affordances. When conceptualizing sporting performances in general, we might distinguish social and object affordances, think about the spatial and temporal order of affordances in terms of nested and sequential affordances, and differentiate between global, main, and micro-affordances within an action sequence. In the context of team sports, it is crucial to understand how affordances might be given to a plurality of athletes. For that purpose, the paper defines shared, common, and collective affordances. A distinguishing characteristic of team sports is the key role of collaborative intra-team coordination which take place within a setting of antagonistic team-team interactions. A key proposal from dynamical systems theory is to conceptualize intra-team coordination in terms of synergies. Synergies are emergent systems of several athletes who coordinate their movements to achieve specific performance tasks. Many of the embodied skills that players need to develop to become suitable participants in the coordination processes of sport teams are abilities to participate in dynamic sequences of collective activity. Praxeological approaches have emphasized that training processes in team sports are aimed at transforming athletes into skillful participants in sequences of collective play. Athletes need to develop their ability-to-play-with to become proficient in contributing to the formation of suitable collectives for specific performance tasks.

description: The dynamic response and stability of thin-walled rectangular plates made from Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) under blast loading is investigated using numerical simulations. FGMs are advanced composite materials which possess continuous variation of material properties in the thickness direction. The composition of the FGM is defined by using the volume fractions of the constituent materials distributed across the thickness direction. The general rule of mixtures is used to predict the material property of the FGM plates. Finite element modeling and simulation is undertaken using ABAQUS for plates with different boundary conditions, loadings and aspect ratio. The results of this investigation show the potential application of FGMs as thin-walled structural materials in the future development of resilient structural systems under extreme loadings.

description: Cyclic motions in vertebrates, including heart beating, breathing and walking, are derived by a network of biological oscillators having fascinating features such as entrainment, environment adaptation, and robustness. These features encouraged engineers to use oscillators for generating cyclic motions. To this end, it is crucial to have oscillators capable of characterizing any periodic signal via a stable limit cycle. In this paper, we propose a 2-dimensional oscillator whose limit cycle can be matched to any periodic signal depicting a non-self-intersecting curve in the state space. In particular, the proposed oscillator is designed as an autonomous vector field directed toward the desired limit cycle. To this purpose, the desired reference signal is parameterized with respect to a state-dependent phase variable, then the oscillator's states track the parameterized signal. We also present a state transformation technique to bound the oscillator's output and its first time derivative. The soundness of the proposed oscillator has been verified by carrying out a few simulations.

Using Mentimeter to teach data visualization
Creators: name: Brodsky, Meryl
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: Data visualization classes often take the form of teachers showing students charts and graphs and describing when to use one graphic versus another. Another common class type is for teachers to introduce students to use a new piece of software to create a visualization. Others allow students to interact with data in a classroom to get real-time feedback from their classmates or instructors about the visualizations they are creating or improving. What format works best when some of the class is attending in-person and some of the class is online? How do you create a class in which everyone is engaged with the course material? Mentimeter is a polling tool that students use on their phones to answer multiple choice questions or take quizzes during a class. It's allows interaction in a fun, engaging way, but is it as effective as PowerPoint? This presentation will discuss the use of Mentimeter as a teaching tool in data visualization classes.

description: The design and delivery of sustainable services that provide a foundation for a range of scientific and data management infrastructures while reducing costs and avoiding duplication of expenditure is a frequently discussed topic at the national and transnational level. The CoreTrustSeal (CTS), launched in 2017, manages requirements and offers core level certification for trustworthy digital repositories (TDR) holding data requiring long-term preservation. This paper traces the journey of the CoreTrustSeal through the Data Seal of Approval (DSA), ICSU World Data System (WDS), Research Data Alliance (RDA) working groups and community engagement, towards becoming a sustainable service supporting global data infrastructure. We outline the design and delivery of the service, current activities, the benefits of certification to a range of communities, and future plans and challenges. As well as providing a historical narrative and current and future perspective, the CoreTrustSeal experience offers valuable lessons for those developing standards and best practices or seeking to develop cooperative and community-driven efforts that transcend disciplines and the academic, governmental, and private sectors data curation spheres.

description: 2.6. Functional characterization of Aa7DR 1 in S. cerevisiae
Yeast lacks the 7DR gene, and Δ 5,7 -eposterol can be used as a substrate for the heterologous 7DR enzyme (Fig. 1). The two Aa7DRs were heterologously expressed in S. cerevisiae for functional characterization. Aa7DR1 and Aa7DR2 were cloned into the expression vectors pESC-HIS-Aa7DR1 and pESC-HIS-Aa7DR2, then were transformed into S. cerevisiae strain Cen.pk2-1D. Compared with the empty-vector-transferred control, the yeast strain expressing Aa7DR1 yielded two prominent products (peaks 1 and 2) at comparable levels (Fig. 6A). While there were no significant differences between pESC-His-Aa7DR2 and the control. To determine the structural features of Aa7DR1 products a large-scale fermentation (7 L) was used to accumulate enough products. The products were isolated and purified using open silica gel column and semi-preparative reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. The structures of p1 were confirmed as ergosta-5,22-dien-3β- ol by 1 H and 13 C-NMR data (Supplemental Figures S6 and S 7; Supplemental Table S6). Product p2 was identified as campesterol by 1 H-NMR and comparison with the standard. We determined Aa7DR1 possessed 7- dehydrocholesterol reductive function to reduce Δ 5,7 -eposterol and ergosterol at Δ 7 position. The indirect product campesterol (p2) was further catalyzed by endogenous gene erg4 on ostreasterol (Fig. 5).

description: One of the central principles of quantum mechanics is that if there are multiple paths that lead to the same event, and there is no way to distinguish between them, interference occurs. It is usually assumed that distinguishing information in the preparation, evolution or measurement of a system is sufficient to destroy interference. For example, determining which slit a particle takes in Young's double slit experiment or using distinguishable photons in the two-photon Hong-Ou-Mandel effect allow discrimination of the paths leading to detection events, so in both cases interference vanishes. Remarkably for more than three independent quantum particles, distinguishability of the prepared states is not a sufficient condition for multiparticle interference to disappear. Here we experimentally demonstrate this for four photons prepared in pairwise distinguishable states, thus fundamentally challenging intuition of multiparticle interference.
