description: Data provenance has become an integral part of the natural sciences where data flow through several complex steps of processing and analysis to generate intermediate and final results. To reproduce scientific experiments, scientists need to understand how the steps were performed in order to check the validity of the results. The scientific experiments consist of activities in the real world (e.g., wet lab or field work) and activities in cyberspace. Many scientists now write scripts as part of their field research for different tasks including data analysis, statistical modeling, numerical simulation, computation and visualization of results. Reproducibility of the computational and non-computational parts are important steps towards reproducibility of the experiments as a whole. In order to reproduce results or to detect which error occurred in the output, it is required to know which input data was responsible for the output, the steps involved in generating them, the devices and the materials used, the settings of the devices used, the dependencies, the agents involved and the execution environment etc. The aim of our work is to semantically describe the provenance of the complete execution of a scientific experiment in a structured form using linked data without worrying about any underlying technologies. In our work, we propose an approach to ensure this reproducibility by collecting the provenance data of the experiment and using the REPRODUCE-ME ontology extended from the existing W3C vocabularies to describe the steps and sequence of steps performed in an experiment. The ontology is developed to describe a scientific experiment along with its steps, input and output variables and their relationship with each other. The semantic layer on top of the captured provenance provided with ontology-based data access allows the scientists to understand and visualize the complete path taken in a computational experiment along with its execution environment. We also provide a provenance-based semantic approach which captures the data from interactive notebooks in a multi-user environment provided by JupyterHub and semantically describe the data using the REPRODUCE-ME ontology.

description: We show that in hydrodynamic simulations for relativistic heavy-ion collisions, strong resonance decay calculations can be performed with fewer species of particle resonances while preserving good accuracy in single particle spectra and flow anisotropies. Such partial resonance calculations boost computation efficiency by a factor of 10 which is essential for large scale event-by-event simulations.

description: As-grown topological insulators (TIs) are typically heavily-doped $n$-type crystals. Compensation by acceptors is used to move the Fermi level to the middle of the band gap, but even then TIs have a frustratingly small bulk resistivity. We show that this small resistivity is the result of band bending by poorly screened fluctuations in the random Coulomb potential. Using numerical simulations of a completely compensated TI, we find that the bulk resistivity has an activation energy of just 0.15 times the band gap, in good agreement with experimental data. At lower temperatures activated transport crosses over to variable range hopping with a relatively large localization length.

title: Impoliteness in Children’s Fiction: Linguistic and Cross-Cultural Aspects
Creators: name: Pleyer, Monika
Publisher: name: Heidelberg University Library
Year: 2019

description: The concept of linguistic impoliteness has gained importance in recent research (see e.g. Culpeper 2011). While research interest has focused on diverse aspects and areas of application, such as impoliteness in the media (e.g. Culpeper 2005; Dynel 2016; Lorenzo-Dus 2009), or impoliteness in dramatic texts (e.g. Culpeper 1998; Rudanko 2006), the question of how and in which ways impoliteness is expressed and conceptualised in fiction for young readers has so far remained a research desideratum. 
This analysis aims at closing this gap in research and addresses the importance of understanding the use of impoliteness in fiction from an interdisciplinary perspective, drawing together methodologies and results from diverse disciplines, such as linguistic pragmatics, translation studies, and literary science. 
The data for this study consists of four contemporary English-language children’s books and book series for readers aged 9 to 12 years of age. 
The analysis begins on an impoliteness2-level, applying a third-wave sociological impoliteness model (Culpeper 2011) to the data that was adapted to children’s fiction. This analytical step shows how and in which ways, i.e. with the usage of which strategies, impoliteness is expressed by characters in contemporary children’s fiction. The focus of the analysis then shifts to an impoltieness1-level, and to an analysis of the metalanguage surrounding impoliteness events, on the level of the characters as well as the narrator. As young readers are yet to be socialised into their cultures and the preferred usage of impoliteness, metalanguage helps the reader conceptualise impoliteness events. 
Finally, what is understood as impolite differs in various speech communities and cultures. Thus, it opens the question as to how impoliteness is translated in popular children’s fiction. In a final analytical step, then, a case study of the translation of impoliteness events in the Harry Potter series is presented. This answers the question whether German pragmatic preferences such as greater directness (e.g. House 2010) are accommodated, i.e. whether the translation follows the translation strategies of domestication (Oittinen 1993) or foreignization (Klingberg 1986). 
In all, the analysis gives a concise overview over how impoliteness is expressed, commented on and translated in contemporary children’s fiction.

description: The Influenza A virus belongs to the Orthomyxoviridae family. Influenza virus infection occurs yearly in all countries of the world. It usually kills between 250,000 and 500,000 people and causes severe illness in millions more. Over the last century alone we have seen 3 global influenza pandemics. The great human and financial cost of this disease has made it the second most studied virus today, behind HIV. Recently, several genome-wide RNA interference studies have focused on identifying host molecules that participate in Influenza infection. We used nine of these studies for this meta-analysis. Even though the overlap among genes identified in multiple screens was small, network analysis indicates that similar protein complexes and biological functions of the host were present. As a result, several host gene complexes important for the Influenza virus life cycle were identified. The biological function and the relevance of each identified protein complex in the Influenza virus life cycle is further detailed in this paper.

description: The Kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet is mapped onto an effective Hamiltonian on the star superlattice by Contractor Renormalization. Comparison of ground state energies on large lattices to Density Matrix Renormalization Group justifies truncation of effective interactions at range 3. Within our accuracy, magnetic and translational symmetries are not broken (i.e. a spin liquid ground state). However, we discover doublet spectral degeneracies which signal the onset of p6 - chirality symmetry breaking. This is understood by simple mean field analysis. Experimentally, the p6 chiral order parameter should split the optical phonons degeneracy near the zone center. Addition of weak next to nearest neighbor coupling is discussed.

description: We present the effects of cosmic rays on the detectors onboard the Herschel satellite. We describe in particular the glitches observed on the two types of cryogenic far- infrared bolometer inside the two instruments PACS and SPIRE. The glitch rates are also reported since the launch together with the SREM radiation monitors aboard Herschel and Planck spacecrafts. Both have been injected around the Lagrangian point L2 on May 2009. This allows probing the radiation environment around this orbit. The impacts on the observation are finally summarized.

description: We show that the observed pattern of quark flavor mixing, such as |V_{us}| \simeq |V_{cd}|, |V_{cb}| \simeq |V_{ts}|, |V_{cd}/V_{td}| \simeq |V_{cs}/V_{ts}| \simeq |V_{tb}/V_{cb}| and |V_{ub}/V_{cb}| < |V_{td}/V_{ts}|, can essentially be understood in the chiral and heavy quark mass limits. In particular, the phenomenologically successful relations |V_{ub}/V_{cb}| \sim \sqrt{m_u/m_c} and |V_{td}/V_{ts}| \simeq \sqrt{m_d/m_s} can be reasonably conjectured in the m_b \to \infty and m_t \to \infty limits, respectively. We stress that the strength of weak CP violation in the quark sector is determined by the moduli of the four corner elements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. A comparison between strong and weak CP-violating effects in the standard model is also made.

description: We present Keck spectroscopic observations and redshifts for a sample of 767 Herschel-SPIRE selected galaxies (HSGs) at 250, 350, and 500um, taken with the Keck I Low Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (LRIS) and the Keck II DEep Imaging Multi-Object Spectrograph (DEIMOS). The redshift distribution of these SPIRE sources from the Herschel Multitiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES) peaks at z=0.85, with 731 sources at z<2 and a tail of sources out to z~5. We measure more significant disagreement between photometric and spectroscopic redshifts (/(1+z)>=0.29) than is seen in non-infrared selected samples, likely due to enhanced star formation rates and dust obscuration in infrared-selected galaxies. We estimate that the vast majority (72-83%) of z<2 Herschel-selected galaxies would drop out of traditional submillimeter surveys at 0.85-1mm. We estimate the luminosity function and implied star-formation rate density contribution of HSGs at z<1.6 and find overall agreement with work based on 24um extrapolations of the LIRG, ULIRG and total infrared contributions. This work significantly increased the number of spectroscopically confirmed infrared-luminous galaxies at z>>0 and demonstrates the growing importance of dusty starbursts for galaxy evolution studies and the build-up of stellar mass throughout cosmic time.

description: The Higgs diphoton amplitude from gluon fusion at the LHC interferes with the continuum background induced by quark loops. I investigate the effect of this interference on the position of the diphoton invariant mass peak used to help determine the Higgs mass. At leading order, the interference shifts the peak towards lower mass by an amount of order 150 MeV or more, with the precise value dependent on the methods used to analyze and fit the data.

description: The Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) proposed by GEO BON offer great benefits for decision makers and scientists if they are made readily available. Currently, the usage of EBVs is, however, still a challenge. The required data sets are very large, heterogeneous and temporal. This makes the usage in common tools like GIS very cumbersome. We propose the VAT system, a web-based processing engine for spatio-temporal data, as an ideal tool for EBV visualization and analysis. VAT is being developed as part of GFBio, but was designed to work independently from the start. Here, users can access a rich set of environmental layers and combine them with their own, private data. So-called exploratory workflows allow users to process data in an interactive fashion while guaranteeing reproducibility of the result. In cooperation with GEO BON we are working towards using VAT as the future EBV Browser & Analyzer. In our first use case we considered the global forest change EBV that measures the yearly global loss and gain of tree cover. In particular we wanted to investigate the change over time for a given region of interest. This information is highly relevant for decision makers as well as scientists. In our application users can choose between forest loss and forest gain and then specify their region of interest. This is either done by selecting a country from a list, or by drawing a custom polygon on the map. The relevant part of the EBV data set is added to the map as a new layer. In addition, a plot visualizes the aggregated changes over time. On the technical side this requires intersecting the raster data from the EBV with the user-defined polygon. The size of the raster makes it necessary to work with overviews in order to achieve a low-latency computation. For plotting the temporal development, we make use of our interface to R which allows us exploiting its powerful plotting functionality. In our ongoing work we will implement a public EBV catalogue that allows users to search and submit EBVs. Quality indicators will assist users to decide on the suitability of the data for their given use case. The data from the EBV catalogue will be available in the VAT system for scientists. In addition, VAT also offers simplified report views that hide the complexity of the actual computations and are thus suitable for decision makers and even the general public.

description: Electronic transport properties in armchair shaped edges graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) doped various impurities have been simulated by the non-equilibrium Green's function approach combined with the first principle calculation based on the density functional theory. We have observed that impurity levels appear in electronic struc-tures, and that the quantization of transmission function is moderated for doped AGNRs. The I-V characteristic can be computed from the transmission function. Our simulation results show that AGNRs doped impurities have higher conductance than the non-doped one.

description: Minimum Information Standards (MIS) are sets of specifications for describing datasets that aim to standardize data reporting and to maximize its discoverability and interoperability. While MIS have greatly contributed to enhance the distribution and reuse of datasets in the biological and biomedical sciences, their adoption in ecology and biodiversity sciences is still incipient. Here we present a community effort to generate minimum standards for Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs). The operationalization of EBVs require integrating heterogeneous datasets of disparate origin and, often, to combine information from different geographic areas and time periods. Furthermore, developing policy-relevant indicators from EBVs requires an additional level of integration between datasets that inform on different facets of biodiversity, e.g. at levels from species to ecosystems. MIS for Essential Biodiversity Variables is founded in the description of the EBV-data cube as the unifying framework to deliver interoperable biodiversity observations. They summarize aspects of the spatial and temporal domains of the datasets, as well as uncertainty and bias reporting. MIS also incorporate the GEOSS proposed principles for data management. Finally, a metadata publishing toolkit will be developed in order to ensure that EBVs are discoverable and used under the auspices of GEO BON.

Embedded Boron Nitride Domains In Graphene Nanoribbons For Transport Gap Engineering

description: We numerically investigate the impact of boron nitride (BN) domains on the transport properties of graphene nanoribbons with lengths ranging from a few to several hundreds of nanometers and lateral size up to 4 nm. By varying the size and morphology of the BN islands embedded in the graphene matrix, a wide transport tunability is obtained from perfect insulating interfaces to asymmetric electron-hole transmission profiles, providing the possibility to engineer mobility gaps to improve device performances. Even in the low-density limit of embedded BN islands, transport properties are found to be highly dependent on both the BN-domain shape and the size with a strong tendency toward an insulating regime when increasing the number of ionic bonds in the ribbon. This versatility of conduction properties offers remarkable opportunities for transport gap engineering for the design of complex device architectures based on a newly synthesized one-atom hybrid layered material.

description: The northern Andes in South America harbors one of the most diverse biological diversity on the planet. Yet, it is one of the most threatened regions as a result of habitat fragmentation, invasive species, agriculture and cattle grazing, and global climate change. It is therefore critical to implement robust conservation strategies and effective monitoring plans. In the region, biological monitoring relies on traditional methods such as direct observation and capture. These methods are expensive and require a large effort specially for rare species. As an alternative, automated passive bioacoustics allow to obtain large amounts of data both in time and space and in comparison, with traditional methods at low cost. The main challenge in passive monitoring is to handle and analyze these rivers of information in order to obtain meaningful results from acoustic data. We have implemented a passive bioacoustic monitoring since 2012 on the northern Andes in Colombia, a highly diverse region in the Neotropics. Our goals are two fold: first, we want to develop analytical strategies to process large amounts of sound files and second we are interested in answering biological questions from individuals to the landscape. As a result of this monitoring, we have developed a machine learning algorithm based on syllable recognition to automatically identify frog species (Ecol. Inf. 24: 200-209). We also have developed an algorithm to estimate the amount of rain from acoustic recordings (Ecol. Ind. 75:95-100). We have answered biological questions ranging from acoustic niche partitioning, interaction of traditional community indices with acoustic indices, and association of acoustic indices with landscape features. Now, we are using passive monitoring to fit complex occupation models and to determine assembling rules in anuran communities. In addition, we are assessing acoustic indices aiming to develop tools with more functions for soundscape analysis (Ecol. Inf. 45:16-25). We show how the continuous feedback between biologists and engineers will spike the implementation and analysis of passive monitoring in imperiled tropical hotspots.

description: Zentrales Anliegen ist die Frage, wie ein umfassender kontextualer Ansatz in der Ökonomik, der über die alleinige Betrachtung formeller Bedingungen hinausgeht, das bestehende Verständnis von nachholender Entwicklung erweitern kann. Der theoretische Teil zeigt auf, wie Kontext und Kultur mit in die Analyse institutionellen Wandels einbezogen werden können. Das Verständnis wirtschaftlicher Phänomene aus einer kulturellen Perspektive zielt auch darauf ab, die tatsächliche Interaktion zwischen formellen Regeln und informellen Beschränkungen, sowie die individuellen Deutungsmuster darüber wahrzunehmen und zu analysieren. Der empirische Teil der Arbeit beleuchtet, wie Entwicklungsberater neue Institutionen in einen bestimmten Kontext vermitteln. Die Frage wird anhand von Fallstudien und Interviews mit Entwicklungsberatern in Tansania und Uganda untersucht. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen, welche Rolle Entwicklungsberater bei der Vermittlung von neuen formellen Institutionen in einen bestimmten Kontext spielen.
description: The central question is how a comprehensive contextual approach to economics, which goes beyond the sole consideration of formal conditions, can expand the existing understanding of catch-up development. The theoretical part shows how context and culture can be included in the analysis of institutional change. Understanding economic phenomena from a cultural perspective also aims to perceive and analyze the actual interaction between formal rules and informal constraints, as well as individual patterns necessary to interpret them. The empirical part of the study examines how development consultants translate new institutions in a specific context. The question is examined by means of case studies and interviews with development consultants in Tanzania and Uganda. The results illustrate the role development consultants play in transmitting new formal institutions into a specific context.

description: Over the last 15 years there was a huge progress in mobilising biodiversity data through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). However, the standard adopted for this work, the Darwin Core, was designed with museum collection data in mind and is only appropriate for capturing species occurrence data. The Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON) aims at improving biodiversity monitoring and making the data available. Most biodiversity monitoring protocols include some sampling procedure and repeated observations. Similarly, much biodiversity data collected by ecologists falls under the form of species per site matrices, where the absences and presences are recorded for the whole community at each site. The original Darwin Core was not appropriate for this kind of structured biodiversity data. Here we present recent developments in extending the Darwin Core to handle this data, the Darwin Sampling Event, and other related efforts. We also present the initiative being developed by GEO BON, iDiv and GBIF, to allow scientists around the world to publish directly on a iDiv repository, the APIS repository, structured biodiversity data.

CCSRE Fellowship for Race and Technology: Analysis of News Coverage of Anti-Asian Racism and Response in 2020
Creators: name: Quintero, Jocelyn

Subjects: subject: COVID-19
subject: Racism against Asians
subject: News Media Coverage

description: This research project seeks to examine the news coverage of violence and racism against Asian/Asian American communities during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic through analysis of traditional news media. There has been a significant rise in incidents of anti-Asian racism since 2020, resulting from many factors including the global COVID-19 pandemic and tense US-China relations. Through the collaboration of our community partner, the Virulent Hate Project, we were able to analyze their database that includes copious articles regarding anti-Asian racism and responses to these incidents of racism from various news media. In particular, we sought to explore patterns of traditional news media that cover these issues with respect to time, incident type, political affiliation, and location. It is important to recognize that our project examined how these types of incidents are covered, not necessarily examine the incidents themselves. The central question of our project is: How have traditional news media sources in the United States covered stories of anti-Asian racism and response during 2020?

description: Solar light possesses a large amount of energy. The sun provides to our planet an intense flux of high energetic photons capable to promote extremely up-hill reactions, such as the photosynthetic fixation of CO2 in biological systems. This energy flow drives life on Earth. My PhD thesis is focused on solar driven conversion processes. While in the first year I principally investigated the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 with TiO2-based materials. In the second year I started to explore new promising visible light harvesting materials and in particular I worked on CdSe quantum dots synthesis and on their use as photocatalysts for hydrogen production under visible light, with special interest on the size dependent recombination of the photogenerated. Finally, during my stage by Professor Kamat?s laboratory at Notre Dame University (Indiana, US), I started to work on the use of WO3/BiVO4 heterojunction photoanodes, for photoelectrocatalytic applications, and especially on charge carriers dynamics through transient absorption spectroscopy measurements. A short overview of the main themes treated during my PhD is outlined below. 1st year 1. Photocatalytic tests on TiO2 based materials in the photoassisted reactions of CO2 reduction and steam reforming of methanol, as a part of the research project FotoRiduCO2 PON01_02257. 2nd year 2. Synthesis and characterization of CdSe quantum dots with different size and their application in photocatalytic H2 production under visible light irradiation. 3. Preparation of WO3, BiVO4 and WO3/BiVO4 photoanodes for photoelectrochemical water splitting application and their study with transient absorption techniques. 3rd year 4. Preparation and characterization through femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy of BiVO4 and WO3/BiVO4 films with variable BiVO4 thickness. The use of different pump energy allowed to suggest a new optical transition model that accounts for the electron transfer paths between the two oxides. Photoelectrochemical experiments validate the proposed model.

description: We study boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen isotopes with a newly constructed shell-model Hamiltonian developed from monopole-based-universal interaction ($V_{MU}$). The present Hamiltonian can reproduce well the ground-state energies, energy levels, electric quadrupole properties and spin properties of these nuclei in full psd model space including $(0-3)\hbarω$ excitations. Especially, it correctly describes the drip lines of carbon and oxygen isotopes and the spins of the ground states of $^{10}$B and $^{18}$N while some former interactions such as WBP and WBT fail. We point out that the inclusion of $2\hbarω$ excitations is important in reproducing some of these properties. In the present $(0+2)\hbarω$ calculations small but constant E2 effective charges appear to work quite well. As the inclusion of the $2\hbarω$ model space makes rather minor change, this seems to be related to the smallness of $^{4}$He core. Similarly, the spin g factors are very close to free values. The applicability of tensor and spin-orbit forces in free space, which are taken in the present Hamiltonian, is examined in shell model calculations.

description: This collection of poems primarily features play of language, image, and voice. A postmodern juxtaposition of ancient figures and contemporary ideas, as well as a blurring of the line between autobiography and fiction, revises familiar stories. My goal is to seek what is surprising, daring-a strength of voice combining with a sometimes casual tone which hints towards deeper circumstances. Most specifically, my work exists within a fictional landscape which allows the creation of "a safe space." The gesture of the poem stops everything, commentates on what is suspended and the suspension itself.

description: The Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO) is a joint German-Brazilian project launched in 2009 and funded by MCTI (Brazil), BMBF (Germany) and the Max-Planck Society. ATTO is with its 325 m-tall tower, the associated research infrastructure and nearby scientific plots a unique multidisciplinary scientific research platform in a region of global significance. Located at the centre of the world’s largest continuous tropical forest, ATTO allows the observation of geo-/bio-/atmosphere interactions and their impact on climate, atmospheric chemistry, aerosols and clouds, and greenhouse gases in near-pristine conditions. From the data management point of view, the main challenge is to provide a functional platform for consortium-internal and -external transparency, traceability, and data exchange between a large number of institutions and research groups that are involved in the project in order to foster collaboration and maximize the output of the project. We use BEXIS 2, a flexible, interoperable and modular data management software, to provide efficient data management and exchange within such a large research consortium; and to allow long-term data archiving, documentation, secondary analysis, data reuse and accessibility for scientific community. We will present a showcase how the BEXIS 2 instance was modified in order to manage highly diverse data of a large research consortium ranging from i.e. micrometeorological data and greenhouse gas measurements as well as remote sensing data towards soil and water samples. The main focus will be on the flexibility of the metadata definition and the implementation of an automatic DOI registration, which allows BEXIS 2 to act as a data repository for the ATTO project.

description: In germanium-based light detectors for scintillating bolometers, a SiO$_2$ anti-reflective coating is often applied on the side of the germanium wafer exposed to light with the aim to improve its light collection efficiency. In this paper, we report about a measurement, performed in the temperature range 25-35 mK, of the light-collection increase obtained thanks to this method, which resulted to be of the order of 20%. The procedure followed has been carefully selected in order to minimize systematic effects. The employed light sources have the same spectral features (peaking at $\sim 630$ nm wavelength) that will characterise future neutrinoless double beta decay experiments on the isotope $^{82}$Se and based on ZnSe crystals, such as LUCIFER. The coupling between source and light detector reproduces the configuration used in scintillating bolometers. The present measurement clarifies the role of SiO$_2$ coating and describes a method and a set-up that can be extended to the study of other types of coatings and luminescent materials.

Review and Comparison of Nakuru, Kitui and Narok County Energy Plans

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: This working paper compares the county energy plans (CEPs) for Nakuru, Kitui and Narok counties against the requirements of the Integrated National Energy Planning (INEP) framework. The comparison is based on whether the contents of the CEP contains the information prescribed in the current INEP draft. For each chapter (i.e., topic) which the INEP requires CEPs to contain, the main requirements were systematically listed. Each CEP was searched for evidence that the requirement was met (i.e., a discussion of the topic is provided). Note that no assessment of the quality of the approach used to meet the requirement was undertaken; rather, it is simply evaluated whether the required topic is explicitly discussed. By compiling scores, a completeness score for each chapter of each CEP was obtained. The aims of this working paper are twofold. First, we aim to understand the suitability of different CEP production methods given the requirements outlined by INEP. Second, we aim to identify INEP requirements which are not included in existing CEPs, in order to interrogate whether these have been deprioritized or are impossible to meet at county level. This work is intended to be useful to energy sector stakeholders who are producing CEPs and feeding into the INEP revision process.

description: The spatial rock-paper-scissors ecosystem, where three species interact cyclically, is a model example of how spatial structure can maintain biodiversity. We here consider such a system for a broad range of interaction rates. When one species grows very slowly, this species and its prey dominate the system by self-organizing into a labyrinthine configuration in which the third species propagates. The cluster size distributions of the two dominating species have heavy tails and the configuration is stabilized through a complex, spatial feedback loop. We introduce a new statistical measure that quantifies the amount of clustering in the spatial system by comparison with its mean field approximation. Hereby, we are able to quantitatively explain how the labyrinthine configuration slows down the dynamics and stabilizes the system.
