FAIR principles

description: This is a presentation I gave at the University of Maribor Open Science Summer School 2023. The lecture was meant for a very diverse class of students (from Bachelor to PhD degrees), and is a broad introduction to open science principles and open and FAIR research data. The lecture is structured in 4 parts: A common understanding of open science: this section tries to highlight the need for open research practices, sketching out a brief history of open science. It presents the five schools of thought, and then proceeds to demonstrate that, while it is key to achieve a common understanding of open science, it's also crucial to respect diversity of research disciplines, traditions of communities, languages. Restoring the ethos of science: this section wants to show the students that while open research practices have been designed to allow a more transparent and efficient research process, there is to them much more than what meets the eye. I talk about the normative structure described by Merton in 1942, and how a completely different set of values have polluted research with a lot of 'bad things': the serial crisis, the reproducibility crisis, the rhetoric of excellence, the cherry-picking of results (to please some commercial publishers...). Open science can help us find back those values highlighted by Merton, while developing new norms that align with these values. Open Access practices: the last two sections briefly touch upon open access and open and FAIR data. Starting from the Budapest Open Access Initiative, this section describes the need to open up scientific literature, and then proceeds to describe the different forms of Open Access: green, gold, hybrid, bronze. Open & FAIR research data: the very last bit of this lecture introduces the concepts of reproducibility, data as research objects, data discovery and re-use, and the FAIR principles. It also stresses the difference between OPEN and FAIR, and explains the 5 star open data model. The HMTL document of this lecture is published on the web at the following link.

description: We give a non-trivial upper bound for the critical density when stabilizing i.i.d. distributed sandpiles on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$. We also determine the asymptotic spectral gap, asymptotic mixing time and prove a cutoff phenomenon for the recurrent state abelian sandpile model on the torus $\left( \mathbb{Z} / m\mathbb{Z} \right)^2$. The techniques use analysis of the space of functions on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ which are harmonic modulo 1. In the course of our arguments, we characterize the harmonic modulo 1 functions in $\ell^p(\mathbb{Z}^2)$ as linear combinations of certain discrete derivatives of Green's functions, extending a result of Schmidt and Verbitskiy.

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 71, 37-59
description: Brickmaking was introduced into this country by the Roman army during the first century AD and the earliest bricks to be found in Leicestershire are likely to have been made by the Roman army. This paper traces the development of brickmaking in the country, but because of the absence of brickmaking sites the evolution of the craft is charted by examining dated buildings. Reference is made to the building accounts of Kirby Muxloe castle which were studied and published in an earlier volume of these Transactions. The production of brick is traced through to 1710, by which time brickmaking had become established in nearly every rural community as it was in urban centres around the county. There are few documentary sources for brickmaking in Leicestershire before 1710, but those which have been discovered are included in appendices.

description: In the coming years and decades, advanced space- and ground-based observatories will allow an unprecedented opportunity to probe the atmospheres and surfaces of potentially habitable exoplanets for signatures of life. Life on Earth, through its gaseous products and reflectance and scattering properties, has left its fingerprint on the spectrum of our planet. Aided by the universality of the laws of physics and chemistry, we turn to Earth's biosphere, both in the present and through geologic time, for analog signatures that will aid in the search for life elsewhere. Considering the insights gained from modern and ancient Earth, and the broader array of hypothetical exoplanet possibilities, we have compiled a state-of-the-art overview of our current understanding of potential exoplanet biosignatures including gaseous, surface, and temporal biosignatures. We additionally survey biogenic spectral features that are well-known in the specialist literature but have not yet been robustly vetted in the context of exoplanet biosignatures. We briefly review advances in assessing biosignature plausibility, including novel methods for determining chemical disequilibrium from remotely obtainable data and assessment tools for determining the minimum biomass required for a given atmospheric signature. We focus particularly on advances made since the seminal review by Des Marais et al. (2002). The purpose of this work is not to propose new biosignatures strategies, a goal left to companion papers in this series, but to review the current literature, draw meaningful connections between seemingly disparate areas, and clear the way for a path forward.

description: The advent of blockchain technology has ushered in a new era of innovation, potentially reshaping the landscape of various industries, including the financial and insurance sectors. This study seeks to explore the intricate interplay between blockchain technology and two pivotal economic theories: Friedman’s monetary policy and Keynesian economic principles. Through meticulous analysis, this research aims to unravel the potential synergies and conflicts that emerge when modern technology meets established economic doctrines.At the heart of this research is a comprehensive case study on Allianz, a prominent insurance company in Germany, which has embarked on a journey to integrate blockchain technology into its operations. This case study serves as a microcosm to understand the broader implications of blockchain technology in the context of Friedman’s emphasis on monetary stability and Keynesian advocacy for government intervention in economic management.By dissecting Allianz’s initiatives, this study delves into the nuances of blockchain implementation, examining its potential to foster efficiency, transparency, and economic stimulation, facets that resonate well with the theories propounded by Friedman and Keynes. Furthermore, this research scrutinizes the regulatory challenges and opportunities that emerge in this transformative journey, offering a balanced perspective on the potential harmonization of these epochs.Through this research, a nuanced dialogue is fostered that bridges the gap between technology and economic theory, paving the way for a harmonized future where innovation complements tradition. By harmonizing these epochs, a future is envisioned where blockchain technology not only revolutionizes industries but also aligns seamlessly with enduring economic principles, fostering a symbiotic relationship that propels society towards sustainable growth and development.

description: The action form (vitality form, VF) is a fundamental aspect of social communication which enables to infer affective states of others. For example, an agent can grasp a cup vigorously or delicately and move it rudely or gently. However, it is noteworthy that actions are nested in social contexts and additional cues such as facial expressions represent fundamental tools to understand the state of an agent. We proposed the use of the humanoid iCub robot as interactive and controllable agent to investigate whether and how different facial expressions could modulate participants motor behavior. To this purpose, we conducted a kinematic experiment in which participants observed videoclips of the iCub robot performing a rude or gentle action (giving request) with a happy or angry facial expression. After the request, participants were asked to grasp a little ball and pass it towards iCub, positioning it on a target. Results showed that iCub VFs significantly influenced participants motor response. Most importantly, we demonstrated that iCub face significantly modulated most of the kinematic parameters characterizing the passing phase and participants reaction time (time elapsing between iCub request and motor response), meaning that positive or negative facial expressions influenced the interaction of participants towards the robot. An additional behavioral study confirmed these data, showing that the perception of positive (gentle) and negative (rude) action VFs is modified by positive (happy) or negative (angry) facial expressions. Our findings are promising for future studies aiming to investigate affective communication in population with face and action recognition impairments.

description: It is shown that aspects of the extended thermodynamic properties of the Taub-Bolt-AdS spacetime in four dimensions are similar to those of the Schwarzschild-AdS black hole. In a high temperature expansion, the equations of state begin to deviate only at next-to-subleading orders. By analogy with what has been done for black holes, Taub-Bolt's thermodynamic equations are used to define holographic heat engines, the first examples of gravitational heat engines defined using a spacetime that is not a black hole. As a further comparison, the Taub-Bolt engine efficiency is computed for two special kinds of engine cycle and compared to the results for analogous Schwarzschild black hole engine cycles.

Without the notion of inner products or order, we provide an analog of the "fundamental inequality" of tight frames. In addition, we prove the binary analog of the characterization of dual frames with given inner products and of general frames with prescribed norms and frame operator.

Exact augmented Lagrangian functions for nonlinear semidefinite programming

description: In this paper, we study augmented Lagrangian functions for nonlinear semidefinite programming (NSDP) problems with exactness properties. The term exact is used in the sense that the penalty parameter can be taken appropriately, so a single minimization of the augmented Lagrangian recovers a solution of the original problem. This leads to reformulations of NSDP problems into unconstrained nonlinear programming ones. Here, we first establish a unified framework for constructing these exact functions, generalizing Di Pillo and Lucidi's work from 1996, that was aimed at solving nonlinear programming problems. Then, through our framework, we propose a practical augmented Lagrangian function for NSDP, proving that it is continuously differentiable and exact under the so-called nondegeneracy condition. We also present some preliminary numerical experiments.

description: Early in 1962 work commenced on the internal demolition of Scraptoft Hall in preparation for a complete renovation scheme to provide residential accommodation for the new Teachers' Training College. A preliminary examination of the partition and main walls had revealed the existence of many layers of wall-paper but it was noticed that the internal walls of the principal ground-floor rooms were partly papered over hessian screens attached to the brickwork by wooden battens. Great care was taken to preserve sections of the early wall-papers and thanks are due to Mr. and Mrs. Freebody and to the contractors, Messrs. Kellett, for their very kind assistance.
The Making of Clay Pipes

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 40, 59-62
description: Fragments of clay tobacco pipes dating from the seventeenth century onwards are found in fair quantities whenever excavations take place in the centre of the town, and some of these may have been made locally, but virtually no information exists about local pipe-makers before the earliest Directory of 1793. Like so many of Leicester's minor industries pipe-making never reached commercial status in the accepted sense of the term but was confined to a few families working in the back-yard kilns of half a dozen cottages or small shops. Conditions were primitive and the work arduous. Long hours were involved in the preparation of wet clay for the moulds followed by exposure to the heat and smoke of the kiln fire. Then finally came the distribution of the pipes which involved pushing barrows for miles to remote inns and village shops. The net profit of a few pence per gross seems a small if not inadequate reward for all the effort, but an old Broseley saying ran: " When pipe-making is in your blood you can't do much about it".

description: The traditional secondary frequency control of power systems restores nominal frequency by steering Area Control Errors (ACEs) to zero. Existing methods are a form of integral control with the characteristic that large control gain coefficients introduce an overshoot and small ones result in a slow convergence to a steady state. In order to deal with the large frequency deviation problem, which is the main concern of the power system integrated with a large number of renewable energy, a faster convergence is critical. In this paper, we propose a secondary frequency control method named Power-Imbalance Allocation Control (PIAC) to restore the nominal frequency with a minimized control cost,in which a coordinator estimates the power imbalance and dispatches the control inputs to the controllers after solving an economic power dispatch problem. The power imbalance estimation converges exponentially in PIAC, both overshoots and large frequency deviations are avoided. In addition, when PIAC is implemented in a multi-area controlled network, the controllers of an area are independent of the disturbance of the neighbor areas, which allows an asynchronous control in the multi-area network. A Lyapunov stability analysis shows that PIAC is locally asymptotically stable and simulation results illustrates that it effectively eliminates the drawback of the traditional integral control based methods.

description: Following the natural instinct that when a group operates on a number field then every term in the class number formula should factorize `compatibly' according to the representation theory (both complex and modular) of the group, we are led to some natural questions about the $p$-part of the classgroup of any CM Galois extension of $\Q$ as a module for $\Gal(K/Q)$, in the spirit of Herbrand-Ribet's theorem on the $p$-component of the class number of $Q(ζ_p)$. In trying to formulate these questions, we are naturally led to consider $L(0,ρ)$, for $ρ$ an Artin representation, in situations where this is known to be nonzero and algebraic, and it is important for us to understand if this is $p$-integral for a prime $\p$ of the ring of algebraic integers $\bar{Z}$ in $C$, that we call {\it mod-$p$ Artin-Tate conjecture}. The most minor term in the class number formula, the number of roots of unity, plays an important role for us --- it being the only term in the denominator, is responsible for all poles!

In particular, we focus on the Kleinian signature $(2,2)$. The quantizations of the complex and real spaces come together with a coaction of the quantizations of the respective symmetry groups. We also extend such quantizations to the $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersetting.

description: A principled approach to understand network structures is to formulate generative models. Given a collection of models, however, an outstanding key task is to determine which one provides a more accurate description of the network at hand, discounting statistical fluctuations. This problem can be approached using two principled criteria that at first may seem equivalent: selecting the most plausible model in terms of its posterior probability; or selecting the model with the highest predictive performance in terms of identifying missing links. Here we show that while these two approaches yield consistent results in most of cases, there are also notable instances where they do not, that is, where the most plausible model is not the most predictive. We show that in the latter case the improvement of predictive performance can in fact lead to overfitting both in artificial and empirical settings. Furthermore, we show that, in general, the predictive performance is higher when we average over collections of models that are individually less plausible, than when we consider only the single most plausible model.

This is realised by considering scalar linear integral equations and their representations in terms of infinite matrices, which give rise to all (2+1)- and (1+1)-dimensional soliton hierarchies associated with scalar differential spectral problems. The integrability characteristics for the obtained soliton hierarchies, including Miura-type transforms, $τ$-functions, Lax pairs as well as soliton solutions, are also derived within this framework.

description: This paper, which is based on a completed monograph written by Guy Grainger from notes and records by Christine Mahany, presents the results of an excavation in 1966 of Roman and Anglo-Saxon burials on the north side of the Roman defences of Great Casterton. The main conclusion is that Roman burials, in all probability, continue into the fifth century in an extensive area north of the walled town. At some stage in the later fifth century, Anglo-Saxon cremation burials were buried to the east, while somewhat later (where there is a relationship), Anglo-Saxon inhumation burials are also present.

description: In this paper, we develop an upper bound for the SPARSEVA (SPARSe Estimation based on a VAlidation criterion) estimation error in a general scheme, i.e., when the cost function is strongly convex and the regularized norm is decomposable for a pair of subspaces. We show how this general bound can be applied to a sparse regression problem to obtain an upper bound for the traditional SPARSEVA problem. Numerical results are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the suggested bound.

description: We propose a hedging approach for general contingent claims when liquidity is a concern and trading is subject to transaction cost. Multiple assets with different liquidity levels are available for hedging. Our risk criterion targets a tradeoff between minimizing the risk against fluctuations in the stock price and incurring low liquidity costs. Following Çetin U., Jarrow R.A., and Protter P. (2004) we work in an arbitrage-free setting assuming a supply curve for each asset. In discrete time, following the ideas in Schweizer M. (1998) and Lamberton D., Pham H., Schweizer M. (1998) we prove the existence of a locally risk-minimizing strategy under mild conditions on the price process. Under stochastic and time-dependent liquidity risk we give a closed-form solution for an optimal strategy in the case of a linear supply curve model. Finally we show how our hedging method can be applied in energy markets where futures with different maturities are available for trading. The futures closest to their delivery period are usually the most liquid but depending on the contingent claim not necessary optimal in terms of hedging. In a simulation study we investigate this tradeoff and compare the resulting hedge strategies with the classical ones.

description: Local properties of the fundamental group of a path-connected topological space can pose obstructions to the applicability of covering space theory. A generalized covering map is a generalization of the classical notion of covering map defined in terms of unique lifting properties. The existence of generalized covering maps depends entirely on the verification of the unique path lifting property for a standard covering construction. Given any path-connected metric space $X$, and a subgroup $H\leqπ_1(X,x_0)$, we characterize the unique path lifting property relative to $H$ in terms of a new closure operator on the $π_1$-subgroup lattice that is induced by maps from a fixed "test" domain into $X$. Using this test map framework, we develop a unified approach to comparing the existence of generalized coverings with a number of related properties.

The Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Industry

description: Famed already as a metropolis of hunting and for Stilton cheese, Melton Mowbray gained perhaps greater celebrity during the latter half of the nineteenth century for its pork pies. Starting as a side-line in a small baker's and confectioner's shop, the trade grew at a phenomenal rate until by 1870 it was spoken of as the staple, trade of the town. Meat pies, and no doubt pork pies, must have been made in many other towns in England, but Melton's achieved an especial fame. This was certainly due in part to their undoubted good quality, but the story of the Melton pork-pie industry, for so it was, is more complicated than this. This article is simply an attempt to throw some light on the origins and development of this industry.
Non-Blackbody Disks Can Help Explain Inferred AGN Accretion Disk Sizes

description: If the atmospheric density $ρ_{atm}$ in the accretion disk of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) is sufficiently low, scattering in the atmosphere can produce a non-blackbody emergent spectrum. For a given bolometric luminosity, at ultraviolet and optical wavelengths such disks have lower fluxes and apparently larger sizes as compared to disks that emit as blackbodies. We show that models in which $ρ_{\rm atm}$ is a sufficiently low fixed fraction of the interior density $ρ$ can match the AGN STORM observations of NGC 5548 but produce disk spectral energy distributions that peak at shorter wavelengths than observed in luminous AGN in general. Thus, scattering atmospheres can contribute to the explanation for large inferred AGN accretion disk sizes but are unlikely to be the only contributor. In the appendix section, we present unified equations for the interior $ρ$ and $T$ in gas pressure-dominated regions of a thin accretion disk.

description: We show that under mild conditions, a Gaussian analytic function $\boldsymbol F$ that a.s. does not belong to a given weighted Bergman space or Bargmann-Fock space has the property that a.s. no non-zero function in that space vanishes where $\boldsymbol F$ does. This establishes a conjecture of Shapiro (1979) on Bergman spaces and allows us to resolve a question of Zhu (1993) on Bargmann-Fock spaces. We also give a similar result on the union of two (or more) such zero sets, thereby establishing another conjecture of Shapiro (1979) on Bergman spaces and allowing us to strengthen a result of Zhu (1993) on Bargmann-Fock spaces.

Long wavelength solitary waves in Hertzian chains and their properties in different nonlinearity regimes

description: Properties of solitary waves in pre-compressed Hertzian chains of particles are studied in the long wavelength limit using a well-known continuum model. Several main results are obtained by parameterizing the solitary waves in terms of their wave speed and their asymptotic amplitude. First, the asymptotic amplitude is shown to be directly related to the continuum sound speed, and the ratio of asymptotic amplitude to peak amplitude is shown to describe the degree of dynamical nonlinearity in the underlying discrete system. Second, an algebraic relation is derived that determines the dynamical nonlinearity ratio in terms of the ratio of the solitary wave speed to the sound speed. In particular, highly supersonic solitary waves correspond to highly nonlinear propagating pulses in weakly compressed systems, and slightly supersonic solitary waves correspond to weakly nonlinear propagating pulses in strongly compressed systems. Third, explicit formulas for the physical height, width, impulse and energy of the solitary waves are obtained in both the strongly nonlinear regime and the weakly nonlinear regime. Asymptotic expansions are used to show that in the strongly nonlinear regime, solitary waves are well-approximated by Nesterenko's compacton (having the same wave speed), while in the weakly nonlinear regime, solitary waves coincide with solitons of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, with the same wave speed. All of these results are illustrated by means of exact solitary wave solutions, including the physically important case that models a chain of spherical particles.

description: Статья посвящена изучению динамики судебной реформы в Российской Федерации и выявлению путей её оптимизации. Автор в ходе изучения статистических показателей работы судебных органов выделяет основные показатели повышения качества правосудия, приводит примеры наиболее эффективных направлений и инструментов реформы. Сравнительный анализ уровня результативности судопроизводства до и после активного внедрения информационных технологий в практику судопроизводства позволяет автору сделать заключение об эффективности намеченных федеральными целевыми программами новаций судопроизводства. В то же время в статье обосновывается необходимость более широкого применения практик работы мобильных судов на интернет-платформах, развития и внедрения в судопроизводство цифровых технологий, недостаток которых существенно тормозит судебную реформу. Автор обосновывает важность законодательного закрепления порядка осуществления правосудия с использованием ВКС (видео-конференц-связи) и других информационных технологий путем подготовки и издания специального нормативного акта.

description: Let X be a smooth variety over a number field k embedded as a degree d subvariety of $\mathbb{P}^n$ and suppose that X is a counterexample to the Hasse principle explained by the Brauer-Manin obstruction. We consider the question of whether the obstruction is given by the d-primary subgroup of the Brauer group, which would have both theoretic and algorithmic implications. We prove that this question has a positive answer in the case of torsors under abelian varieties, Kummer surfaces and (conditional on finiteness of Tate-Shafarevich groups) bielliptic surfaces. For Kummer varieties we show that the obstruction is already given by the 2-primary torsion. We construct a conic bundle over an elliptic curve that shows that, in general, the answer is no.
