Accessing Eurostat Data
Creators: name: Tanvi Desai
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2007

description: The effect of the 1997 EU Council Regulation on access to data for scientific purposes is finally being felt as Eurostat release more and more microdata for research purposes. Though this is not open data, there is a high demand for comparative international microdata with defined access procedures, so these are very valuable resources for researchers. However accessing these data can be difficult and time consuming. This paper will look at the sources available, ELFS, ECHP/EUSILC, CIS, ESES; access methods including direct access to CD Roms, the Eurostat Data Laboratory, and the PiEP-LISSY remote access system; and provides tips and guidelines for successful data registration.

description: We systematically analyzed about a terabyte of data from Galactic binary systems to characterize how these spectra change as a function of mass accretion rate. With this volume of data we are able to identify the differences in behaviour of black holes and neutron stars, implying that black holes really do have an event horizon. The spectral evolution seen as a function of L/L_Edd can be linked to current state-of-the-art numerical simulations of accretion flows, and we develop qualitative and quantitative models of the spectral changes in all types of binary systems. The key ingredient of this picture is that the major hard-soft spectral transition is driven by a changing inner radius of the accretion disc. This also qualitatively explains the changes seen in the variability power spectra of these objects. This lays the foundation for a self-consistent, theoretically motivated framework in which to explain both the spectral and timing properties of accreting compact objects.

description: Submillimeter rotational lines of H2O are a powerful probe in warm gas regions of the ISM, tracing scales and structures ranging from kpc disks to the most compact and dust-obscured regions of galactic nuclei. The ortho-H2O(423-330) line at 448 GHz, which was recently detected in a local luminous infrared galaxy (Pereira-Santaella et al. 2017), offers a unique constraint on the excitation conditions and ISM properties in deeply buried galaxy nuclei since the line requires high far-IR optical depths to be excited. In this letter, we report the first high-redshift detection of the 448 GHz H2O(423-330) line using ALMA, in a strongly lensed submillimeter galaxy (SMG) at z=3.63. After correcting for magnification, the luminosity of the 448 GHz H2O line is ~10^6 L_sun. In combination with three other previously detected H2O lines, we build a model that "resolves" the dusty ISM structure of the SMG, and find that it is composed of a ~1 kpc optically thin (optical depth at 100μm τ_{100}~0.3) disk component with dust temperature T_{dust} \approx 50 K emitting a total infrared power of 5e12 L_sun with surface density Σ_{IR}=4e11 L_sun kpc^{-2}, and a very compact (0.1 kpc) heavily dust-obscured (τ_{100} \gtrsim 1) nuclear core with very warm dust (100 K) and Σ_{IR}=8e12 L_sun kpc^{-2}. The H2O abundance in the core component, X_{H2O}~(0.3-5)e{-5}, is at least one order of magnitude higher than in the disk component. The optically thick core has the characteristic properties of an Eddington-limited starburst, providing evidence that radiation pressure on dust is capable of supporting the ISM in buried nuclei at high redshifts. The multi-component ISM structure revealed by our models illustrates that dust and molecules such as H2O are present in regions characterized by highly differing conditions and scales, extending from the nucleus to more extended regions of SMGs.

description: In this article we present a parallel algorithm for simulation of the heat conduction process inside the so-called pulse cryogenic cell. This simulation is important for designing the device for portion injection of working gases into ionization chamber of ion source. The simulation is based on the numerical solving of the quasilinear heat equation with periodic source in a multilayered cylindrical domain. For numerical solution the Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) method is used. Due to the non-linearity of the heat equation the simple-iteration method has been applied. In order to ensure convergence of the iteration process, the adaptive time-step has been implemented. The parallelization of the calculation has been realized with shared memory application programming interface OpenMP and the performance of the parallel algorithm is in agreement with the case studies in literature.

description: We compute $d$-dimensional scalar six-point conformal blocks in the two possible topologies allowed by the operator product expansion. Our computation is a simple application of the embedding space operator product expansion formalism developed recently. Scalar six-point conformal blocks in the comb channel have been determined not long ago, and we present here the first explicit computation of the scalar six-point conformal blocks in the remaining inequivalent topology. For obvious reason, we dub the other topology the snowflake channel. The scalar conformal blocks, with scalar external and exchange operators, are presented as a power series expansion in the conformal cross-ratios, where the coefficients of the power series are given as a double sum of the hypergeometric type. In the comb channel, the double sum is expressible as a product of two ${}_3F_2$-hypergeometric functions. In the snowflake channel, the double sum is expressible as a Kampé de Fériet function where both sums are intertwined and cannot be factorized. We check our results by verifying their consistency under symmetries and by taking several limits reducing to known results, mostly to scalar five-point conformal blocks in arbitrary spacetime dimensions.

description: We investigate the growth of a film of some element B on a substrate made of another substrance A in a model of molecular beam epitaxy. A vertical exchange mechanism allows the A-atoms to stay on the growing surface with a certain probability. Using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations as well as scaling arguments, the incorporation of the A's into the growing B-layer is investigated. Moreover we develop a rate equation theory for this process. In the limit of perfect layer-by-layer growth, the density of A-atoms decays in the B-film like the inverse squared distance from the interface. The power law is cut off exponentially at a characteristic thickness of the interdiffusion zone that depends on the rate of exchange of a B-adatom with an A-atom in the surface and on the system size. Kinetic roughening changes the exponents. Then the thickness of the interdiffusion zone is determined by the diffusion length.

description: The conservation status of the communities of the class Asplenietea trichomanis was studied in 2010 in southern Poland. In all, 81 sites with rocky plant communities were selected, and 270 phytosociological relevés were collected. Alien species were found at 27% of the sites. This indicates that the rocky communities there are exposed to strong pressure of plant invasion. The most common alien species was the neophyte Impatiens parviflora, which occurred at 25% of the sites and 12% of the relevés examined. Robinia pseudoacacia was also locally invasive, especially on partially shaded serpentine rock. The other alien plant species were found only locally and in small numbers, and are not invasive at this time.

Large hierarchy between the scale of supersymmetry breaking and the fundamental scale can be generated dynamically. The model has several potentially interesting phenomenological applications. We also discuss the conditions that are necessary for interpreting our $U(1)^N$ model as an ultra-violet completion of some 5d theory. In particular, the corresponding 5d theory contains Chern-Simons couplings.

description: With multiple objectives, the Creative Commons (CC) licensing movement is making inroads into the academic community. In parallel, efforts are under way to investigate the characteristics and potential for creating a science commons based on open access to data and advanced information technology. CIESIN, the Center for International Earth Science Information Network, through its NASA-funded Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC), is experimenting with incorporating creative commons licensing into its publicly-available data and information products. This paper will describe the issues CIESIN has encountered surrounding implementing CC licensing as part of a data center dissemination strategy. Particular focus will be on the challenges of using a creative commons approach within an academic context and on the potential benefits for end-users.

description: We discuss the feasibility of using the detection of electron antineutrinos produced in fission to monitor the time dependence of the plutonium content of nuclear power reactors. If practical such a scheme would allow world-wide, automated monitoring of reactors and, thereby, the detection of certain proliferation scenarios. For GW$_e$ power reactors the count rates and the sensitivity of the antineutrino spectrum (to the core burn-up) suggest that monitoring of the gross operational status of the reactor from outside the containment vessel is feasible. As the plutonium content builds up in a given burn cycle the total number of antineutrinos steadily drops and this variation is quite detectable, assuming fixed reactor power. The average antineutrino energy also steadily drops, and a measurement of this variation would be very useful to help off set uncertainties in the total reactor power. However, the expected change in the antineutrino signal from the diversion of a significant quantity (SQ) of plutonium, which would typically require the diversion of as little as a single fuel assemblies in a GW$_e$ reactor, would be very difficult to detect.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: This thesis examines the relationships between property ownership and tenant empowerment by proposing a 15-storey housing development aimed to foster community connection located in False Creek Flats, Vancouver. This development works within the current Canadian ownership context to propose a combined housing co-operative and housing society which would provide an alternative way of living and owning. The tower counters the model of strata and freehold ownership, which isolates households. The design sets to accommodate a diverse range of households by providing various unit types with different kinds of access to shared communal spaces. The intention is to challenge normative living and owning practices by proposing a housing typology and design strategies which can facilitate community connection and equity.

description: Quantum scattering calculations for all but low-dimensional systems at low energies must rely on approximations. All approximations introduce errors. The impact of these errors is often difficult to assess because they depend on the Hamiltonian parameters and the particular observable under study. Here, we illustrate a general, system and approximation-independent, approach to improve the accuracy of quantum dynamics approximations. The method is based on a Bayesian machine learning (BML) algorithm that is trained by a small number of rigorous results and a large number of approximate calculations, resulting in ML models that accurately capture the dependence of the dynamics results on the quantum dynamics parameters. Most importantly, the present work demonstrates that the BML models can generalize quantum results to different dynamical processes. Thus, a ML model trained by a combination of approximate and rigorous results for a certain inelastic transition can make accurate predictions for different transitions without rigorous calculations. This opens the possibility of improving the accuracy of approximate calculations for quantum transitions that are out of reach of rigorous scattering calculations.

Dies erfolgte mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Gliederung in felsige Standorte (natürliche oder halbnatürliche in stillgelegten Steinbrüchen) und in synantrope. Eine Prüfung der aktuellen Standorte des Ruprechtfarns hat ergeben, dass der Gefährdungsgrad für diese Art viel höher ist, als bisher angenommen. Gegenwärtig ist der Ruprechtsfarn in den Sudeten nur in einem Gebiet von weniger als 20 km2 verbreitet. Nach dem Jahre 2000 wurden nur 6 aktuelle natürliche Standorte dieser Art gefunden. Der Ruprechtsfarn sollte also in die Gruppe der in Niederschlesien vom Aussterben bedrohten Arten aufgenommen werden (Kat. VU). Das neue Vorkommen des Ruprechtsfarns befindet sich etwa 60 km von den bisher bekannten natürlichen Standorten der Art im Bober-Katzbach-Gebirge (Góry Kaczawskie) entfernt

description: The Population Research Institute is well-known inside Penn State (and increasingly outside the university) as the place to go for access to restricted-use data and for help with developing applications for obtaining contractual data. The purpose of this paper is to share our experiences and perspectives in helping researchers obtain, house, and maintain access to restricted-use data.nbsp; We hope that sharing some of our trials, tribulations and triumphs will help inform those in the data community who are considering offering restricted-data support. In six years with PRI as Data Archivist, Jennifer Darragh helped the number of contracts grow from four in 2000, to sixteen by 2006. In just three short months, PRI's new Data Archivist, Kiet Bang, has had to learn how to manage these contracts (additions, removals, renewals, custodial transfers) and coordinate with other essential PRI staff to keep restricted data projects running smoothly.

description: Properties of the Kondo effect in quantum dots depend sensitively on the coupling parameters and so on the realization of the quantum dot -- the Kondo temperature itself becomes a mesoscopic quantity. Assuming chaotic dynamics in the dot, we use random matrix theory to calculate the distribution of both the Kondo temperature and the conductance in the Coulomb blockade regime. We study two experimentally relevant cases: leads with single channels and leads with many channels. In the single-channel case, the distribution of the conductance is very wide as $T_K$ fluctuates on a logarithmic scale. As the number of channels increases, there is a slow crossover to a self-averaging regime.

Different mechanisms contributing to the exchange coupling are revealed. The band dependence of the exchange parameters, their dependence on volume and valence electron concentration have been thoroughly analyzed within the Green function technique.

description: The differentiation of hygrophilous tall herb communities in the Stołowe Mts seems to be known sufficiently well, in spite of that only some relevés were published. In the Stołowe Mts only two communities have been distinguished so far – Geranio phaei-Urticetum dioicae and Petasitetum albi. The wide phytosociological investigation carried out by authors in 2011 in many localities of hygrophilous tall herb communities in the Sudetes
and their foreland brings new information in this area. Results of analyses revealed that four different hygrophilous tall herb communities should be distinguished within the area of the Stołowe Mts. According to proposal of Michl et al. (2010) communities occurring in the Stołowe Mts do not belong to Adenostylion alliariae, which is limited to the subalpine zone, but to two other alliances: Rumicion alpini and Arunco dioici-Petasition albi.

description: Although the search for azimutal patterns in cosmological surveys is useful to characterise some effects depending exclusively on an angular distance within the standard model, they are considered as a key distinguishing feature of some exotic scenarios, such as bubble collisions or conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC). In particular, the CCC is a non-stardard framework which predicts circular patterns on the CMB intensity fluctuations. Motivated by some previous works which explore the presence of radial gradients, we apply a methodology based on the radial derivatives to the latest release of \textit{Planck} data. The new approach allows exhaustive studies to be performed at all sky directions at a HEALPix resolution of $N_{\mathrm{side}} = 1024$. Specifically, two different analyses are performed focusing on weight functions in both small (up to a $5$-degree radius) and large scales. We present a comparison between our results and those shown by An et al. (2017), and An et al. (2018). In addition, a possible polarization counterpart of these circular patterns is also analysed for the most promising case. Taking into account the limitations to characterize the significance of the results, including the possibility of suffering a look-elsewhere effect, no strong evidence of the kind of circular patterns expected from CCC is found in the \textit{Planck} data for either the small or the large scales.

description: This project asks whether it is possible to represent sound through the medium of architecture and site design. Through the medium of exterior exhibition and performance spaces, the design explores ways within which the non-hearing population could have their senses activated through moments of haptic enhancement as well as vibrational tectonics. The site chosen for this study holds potential to extract and probe the latency of site conditions such as wind, water and seasonal change to place a higher focus on tactility of materiality and construction assemblies. The goal is for these sound experiences to reside within highly concentrated sensory encounters between the non hearing and hearing population.

We give the conditions that the final state can be maximally entangled and be non-entangled. When the final state can not be maximally entangled, we give the maximal entanglement C_max it can reach. When the final state can not be non-entangled, we give the minimal entanglement C_min it can reach. We think C_max and C_min represent the entanglement changing power of two-qubit unitary operations. According to this power we define an order of gates.

description: We report on the single crystal growth and transport properties of a topological semimetal CaAgBi which crystallises in the hexagonal $ABC-$type structure with the non-centrosymmetric space group $\mathit{P6_3mc}$ (No. 186). The transverse magnetoresistance measurements with current in the basal plane of the hexagonal crystal structure reveal a value of about 30 % for I // [10-10] direction and about 50 % for I // [1-210] direction at 10 K in an applied magnetic field of 14 T. The magnetoresistance shows a cusp-like behavior in the low magnetic-field region, suggesting the presence of weak antilocalization effect for temperatures less than 100 K. The Hall measurements reveal that predominant charge carriers are $p$ type exhibiting a linear behavior for fields up to 14 T and can be explained based on the single band model. The magnetoconductance of CaAgBi is analysed based on the modified Hikami-Larkin-Nagaoka (HLN) model. Our first-principles calculations within a density-functional theory framework reveal that CaAgBi supports a topological Dirac semimetal state with Dirac points located on the rotational axis slightly above the Fermi level and are protected by $C_{6v}$ point-group symmetry. The Fermi surface consists of both the electron and hole pockets. However, the size of hole pockets is much larger than electron pockets suggesting the dominant $p$ type carriers in accord with our experimental results.

Apanteles fundulus

description: Apanteles fundulus Nixon, 1965
Fig. 6 B (distribution), Fig. 37 A (holotype)
Examined material.
Holotype. Australia • ♀; S. E. QLD; Tambourine Mts.; 1–9 May 1935; R. E. Turner leg.
An image of the holotype held in the NHM (Fig. 37 A), with the description of the species (Nixon, 1965) were used as the basis of the diagnosis of this species.
Diagnosis.
Apanteles fundulus can be separated from other species of Apanteles known from Australia with a dark metacoxa, dark metafemur, the pterostigma without a pale centre area, the ovipositor sheath length> 0.6 × metatibia length, and the antenna similar length to the body by the metatibia mostly pale with a darker area only in the distal 1 / 3, T 1 mostly smooth, with small rugose ‘ trough’ in centre, the pterostigma with small pale spot at proximal corner; and setae on T 3 – T 6 reduced to single row at posterior edge of tergite.
Notes.
We do not believe we have collected any material of A. fundulus in this study. As with all species before the advent of DNA barcoding, if it was possible to sequence DNA of the type, the placement of A. fundulus amongst modern material would be more certain.

description: Archives have fought many battles establishing their presence in the research world; they are welcomed by academics and policy makers in their quest to ask new questions of existing data; yet tread on uncertain ground for data creators and government departments, where concerns of disclosure and anxiety associated with statistical comparisons can loom high.nbsp; The UK Data Archive (UKDA) celebrates its 40th Anniversary in 2007 four decades of acquiring and sharing key social and economic data. This paper will outline its position within the UK research arena discussing how, by establishing a tiered licensing model, the UKDA has ensured that the concerns of the depositors, data creators and the needs of its user communities are sated. Two major issues will be discussed: the need for establishing networks and relationships of trust and symbiosis; and building and nurturing expertise and support required to establish a workable legal framework under which data curation and sharing can operate.
Occurrence and diagnostic value of the Polypodium vulgare L. complex in the communities of Asplenietea trichomanis (Br. Bl. in Meier & Br. Bl. 1934) Oberd. 1977 class in Polish Sudety Mts and their foreland

description: In 2009-2011, 298 relevés of plant rocky communities of Asplenietea trichomanis class were collected in the Sudety Mts and their foreland. Polypodium vulgare occurred in 93 relevés, i.e. in about one third of collected material, however the distribution and abundance of the species were not equal in all syntaxonomical units. The species was found in 56% of relevés representing Hypno-Polypodion vulgaris alliance, in 26% of relevés of Asplenion septentrionalis alliance, in the same
percentage in Asplenion cuneifolii phytocoenoses, and in less than 10% of all the relevés made on calcareous substrata. Thus, P. vulgare should be considered as a character species of the Androsacetalia vandelii order rather than the Asplenietea trichomanis class as a whole. It is especially abundant in phytocoenoses belonging to the Hypno-Polypodion vulgaris alliance and dominating in Hypno-Polypodietum associations, in which it reaches the highest coverage (10% up to 80%). The results indicate that the most important factors which determine the occurrence of P. vulgare in rocky communities are the type of the geological substrate (non-calcareous rocks) and shade, generally exceeding 60%. Occurrence of Polypodium ×mantoniae has been confirmed so far in the phytocoenoses belonging to the association Asplenio-Polypodietum and Asplenietum cuneifolii. It may occur in ass. Woodsio-Asplenietum septentrionalis as well

description: Polyelectrolyte complexes composed of lignosulfonate and cationic polyelectrolytes were used as bio-based adhesives. Sodium lignosulfonate (L-SO3Na), a wood-derived anionic polyelectrolyte, was combined with three different cationic polyelectrolytes and the adhesive strength of the resulting complexes was evaluated on various substrates. Higher adhesive strength was observed with polar substrates (stainless steel, aluminum, and wood) compared to a nonpolar substrate (polypropylene). Complexes L-SO3Na/poly(allylamine) and L-SO3Na/ε-poly-l-lysine exhibited higher adhesive strength than the other polyelectrolyte complexes on aluminum and a commercial polyvinyl acetate adhesive on wood. In addition, our adhesives do not require any additional chemical reagents, such as organic solvents, crosslinkers, or condensation agents. The L-SO3Na/ε-poly-l-lysine complex is a strong and completely biodegradable adhesive. This study demonstrates the use of lignosulfonate in the development of low-toxicity, sustainable, and biodegradable adhesives with excellent adhesive strength.

description: Compressed Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3 films (250nm) deposited on LaAlO3 have been studied by Electron Spin Resonance technique under high frequency and high magnetic field. We show evidences for the presence of a ferromagnetic phase (FM) embedded in the charge-order phase (CO), in form of thin layers which size depends on the strength and orientation of the magnetic field (parallel or perpendicular to the substrate plane). This FM phase presents an easy plane magnetic anisotropy with an anisotropy constant 100 times bigger than typical bulk values. When the magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the substrate plane, the FM phase is strongly coupled to the CO phase whereas for the parallel orientation it keeps an independent ferromagnetic resonance even when the CO phase becomes antiferromagnetic.

description: Paper summarizes the results of research carried out in the year 2008-2012 and published data, concerning diversity and conservation status of natural habitats in the Ślężański Landscape Park. Fifteen natural habitat types listed in Annex I of 92/43/EEC Directive have been found so far on this area, including 7 forest habitats, 2 rocky habitats and 6 types of meadows and grasslands. Most of them are threatened due to anthropogenic impacts – including threats on a local scale (excessive penetration of the sites, destroying of the threatened plants, fires induction, land pollution, uncontrolled building on meadows), as well as global effects (eutrophication caused by air pollution, climate change). A major concern is the expansion of non-native species of vascular plants, such as Robinia pseudoacacia, Impatiens parviflora, Pseudotsuga menziesii. The most endangered plant communities are serpentinous grassland with domination of Festuca pallens, xerothermic grassland (Viscario-Avenuletum pratensis), Molinia-meadows, thermophilous oak forest of serpentine soils (Galium verum-Quercus petraea community) and chasmophytic communities of ultrabasic and acidophilous rocks (Asplenietum cuneifolii, Woodsio-Asplenietum septentrionalis).
Medical Research and Data Sharing - How Open Can We Be?

description: Scotland intends to introduce an Electronic Health Record in the near future to provide an open data system throughout the health service to improve access to a current record and prevent the multiple-blood-test-syndrome due to lack of communication between health care providers. This vision, however, is accompanied by various legal and ethical problems. One such problem is the question of access. While the use of open data within the health service offers considerable advantages, issues such as confidentiality need to be taken into account. Many patients still expect the traditional model of care with doctor-patient confidentiality, however, this is hard to equate with the reality of extended health care teams where the need for data sharing and open access to patient data has grown considerably. This paper will provide an overview of the problems of how open the data sharing can, be using several scenarios to provide examples and highlight some of the options being considered.

Effects of a Social Force Model reward in Robot Navigation based on Deep Reinforcement Learning

description: In this paper is proposed an inclusion of the Social Force Model (SFM) into a concrete Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) framework for robot navigation. These types of techniques have demonstrated to be useful to deal with different types of environments to achieve a goal. In Deep RL, a description of the world to describe the states and a reward adapted to the environment are crucial elements to get the desire behaviour and achieve a high performance. For this reason, this work adds a dense reward function based on SFM and uses the forces in the states like an additional description. Furthermore, obstacles are added to improve the behaviour of works that only consider moving agents. This SFM inclusion can offer a better description of the obstacles for the navigation. Several simulations have been done to check the effects of these modifications in the average performance.

Opening up access to Birth Cohort Study Data
Creators: name: Kneeshaw, Jack
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2007

description: The UK Medical Research Council (MRC) policy on data sharing recognises the value of making scientific data (eg. population and clinical trials) more widely available across the research community. If not creating true open data resources, the MRC's policy involves opening up access to previously (relatively) inaccessible life-course data. To this end, the MRC is currently running a pilot project designed to test the feasibility of preparing and making data more widely available from the accomplished 1946 British Birth Cohort Study, and the National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD). Using Nesstar as the data sharing tool, the pilot aims to evaluate the costs and benefits of opening up access to the NSHD data and to document lessons learned that may inform similar activities in the bio-medical area undertaken in the future. Special attention is given to the particularities of opening up access to a long-running longitudinal study which, due to the age of the study, has traditionally been poorly-documented, and to balancing likely increased scientific outputs with risk of disclosure. Among the key scientific outputs that the project is interested in examining is the feasibility of researchers sharing new variables derived from the study.
Three Dimensional Pure Gravity and Generalized Hecke Operators

description: In this paper, we study mathematical functions of relevance to pure gravity in AdS3. Modular covariance places stringent constraints on the space of such functions; modular invariance places even stronger constraints on how they may be combined into physically viable candidate partition functions. We explicitly detail the list of holomorphic and anti-holomorphic functions that serve as candidates for chiral and anti-chiral partition functions and note that modular covariance is only consistent with such functions when the left (resp. right) central charge is an integer multiple of 8, $c\in 8\mathbb{N}$. We then find related constraints on the symmetry group of the corresponding topological, Chern-Simons, theory in the bulk of AdS. The symmetry group of the theory can be one of two choices: either $SO(2; 1) \times SO(2; 1)$ or its three-fold diagonal cover. We introduce the generalized Hecke operators which map the modular covariant functions to the modular covariant functions. With these mathematical results, we obtain conjectural partition functions for extremal CFT2s, and the corresponding microcanonical entropies, when the chiral central charges are multiples of eight. Finally, we compute subleading corrections to the Beckenstein-Hawking entropy in the bulk gravitational theory with these conjectural partition functions
