Creators: name: Plato Smith II
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014

description: This presentation will discuss survey results from the Phase 1 of my dissertation research, "Exploring the Data Management and Curation (DMC) Practices of Scientists in Research Labs within a Research University". Data management and curation (DMC) is comprised of (1) data management planning, (2) data curation, (3) digital curation, and (4) digital preservation concepts. The survey included a 25-question adapted Data Asset Framework (DAF) questionnaire. The survey was administered to five high-profile research labs at Florida State University and scientists affiliated with the National Science Foundation (NSF) EarthCube project in Fall 2013. The survey yielded 107 completes, an 83% completion rate, and 10 scientists that agreed to participate in Phase 2 of my dissertation research that includes interviews currently in progress. The purpose of this survey is to build a better understanding of research data held in departments across multiple disciplinary domains, to inform strategic planning for data management at research labs at Florida State University, and to inform the wider research data management community. This presentation will present survey results from an adapted DAF survey as part of a mixed-methods research approach investigating the data management and curation practices of scientists in research labs and the NSF EarthCube project.

description: Energetic, highly-charged oxygen ions, $O^{q+}$ ($q\leq 6$), are copiously produced upon laser field-induced disassembly of highly-charged water clusters, $(H_2O)_n$ and $(D_2O)_n$, $n\sim$ 60, that are formed by seeding high-pressure helium or argon with water vapor. $Ar_n$ clusters (n$\sim$40000) formed under similar experimental conditions are found undergo disassembly in the Coulomb explosion regime, with the energies of $Ar^{q+}$ ions showing a $q^2$ dependence. Water clusters, which are argued to be considerably smaller in size, should also disassemble in the same regime, but the energies of fragment O$^{q+}$ ions are found to depend linearly on $q$ which, according to prevailing wisdom, ought to be a signature of hydrodynamic expansion that is expected of much larger clusters. The implication of these observations on our understanding of the two cluster explosion regimes, Coulomb explosion and hydrodynamic expansion, is discussed. Our results indicate that charge state dependences of ion energy do not constitute an unambiguous experimental signature of cluster explosion regime.

description: [1] Discrimination experiments with the U. S. Army's standard hand-held metal detector (AN/PSS-12) are described. An appendix describes the functioning of the device as a metal detector, and the body of the paper discusses modifications to the device necessary to carry out the discrimination experiments. Half of the mines in a large blind test grid were correctly identified with nearly zero false alarms, but the false alarm rate increased substantially for detection probabilities greater than one half. Degradation in performance is attributed to low signal-to-noise ratio from low metallic content mines buried deep in the soil. One measurement was taken with the object centered with respect to the search coils and four more with the object between the concentric search coils in the north, south, east, and west directions. Discrimination performance using all spatial measurements was shown to be superior to that obtained when using only the centered measurement, indicating that spatial measurement diversity is needed to adequately define all the unique modes of a target's polarizability tensor.

description: The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a potentially lethal infection that presents a substantial threat to health, especially in Middle East nations. Given that no FDA-approved specific therapy for MERS infection exists, designing and discovering a potent antiviral therapy for MERS-CoV is crucial. One pivotal strategy for inhibiting MERS replication is to focus on the viral main protease (Mpro). In this study, we identify potential novel Mpro inhibitors employing structure-based virtual screening of our recently reported Ugi reaction-derived library (URDL) consisting of cherry-picked molecules from the literature. The key features of the URDL library include synthetic tractability (1–2 pot synthesis) of the molecules scaffold and unexplored chemical space. The hits were ranked based on the docking score, MM-GBSA free energy of binding, and the interaction pattern with the active site residues. A molecular dynamics (MD) simulation study was performed for the first two top-ranked compounds to analyze the stability and free binding energy based on the molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area. The potential mean force calculated from the steered molecular dynamics (SMD) simulations of the hits indicates improved H-bond potential, enhanced conformational stability, and binding affinity toward the target, compared to the cocrystallized ligand. The discovered hits represent novel synthetically tractable scaffolds as potential MERS-CoV Mpro inhibitors.

description: Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are essential for the restoration and management of freshwater ecosystems. They leverage natural processes to address environmental and social challenges, providing vital services such as water storage and purification, flood control, and biodiversity conservation. Overexploitation of water for agriculture is a significant threat to these ecosystems. Implementing NbS can increase water availability for agriculture and reduce the use of conventional water resources. In this context, NATMed project aims to design, implement and validate several NbS to optimize water-related and water dependent ecosystem services in the Mediterranean Basin.
The beginnings of a European remote access network

description: Data about individuals and organisations are routinely collected across the Member States of Europe, through surveys, administrative and financial transactions. Yet access to these micro-data for research purposes, particularly across national borders, is often restricted for confidentiality or legal reasons. Despite the benefits that accrue to society from allowing comparative research to be undertaken using cross-national data sources (such as policy evaluation), researchers face significant barriers in making comparative analyses of data collected in more than one Member State. Legal restrictions on the dissemination and transfer of data, and the consequential cost of visiting the data within its country of origin, prohibit access. – Through the "Data without Boundaries"(DwB) initiative, the European Remote Access Network (Eu-RAN) is a vision of cross-border data access. The realisation of this European data infrastructure dream will evolve step-by-step. Making the first jump requires a connection between two Research Data Centres. The Research Data Centre (FDZ) at IAB and the Secure Lab at the UK Data Archive have joined forces to provide connections to each other's centres. A researcher in the UK can access sensitive German micro-data held at IAB and vice versa. In this talk, we present the results of our joint-initiative.

Year: 2014

description: Work package 12 of the Data without Boundaries Project (http://www.dwbproject.org), focuses on development of a one-stop discovery portal for social and economic research data held by agencies across Europe. Implementation is a collaborative effort led by the Norwegian Social Science Data Services, the UK Data Archive and Metadata Technology, with assistance from others. The portal offers researchers an easy to use faceted search and browse interface, powered by Solr. Workflow activities (metadata harvesting, quality assurance, storage, versioning, harmonization, indexing and retrieval) are implemented as separate components – accessible via RESTful web services – and orchestrated by an administration component providing a dashboard showing activity health, and an error notification mechanism. Summary information (such as metadata quality, geographic coverage, list of providers, study languages) are visible to all users. The provider portfolio is a value added service that is intended to encourage take up by metadata providers, as it will allow them to see the quality scores for their metadata records, along with information that will help them fix any problems and improve future versions, plus usage statistics. This talk will provide a progress update and a brief demonstration, plus a roadmap for future development within the lifetime of the DwB project.
Hybrid simulation of foreshock waves and ion spectra and their linkage to cusp energetic ions

Publisher: name: Auburn University
Year: 2009

description: A three-dimensional global hybrid simulation is carried out to investigate energetic ions and electromagnetic waves in the quasi-parallel (Q-parallel to) bow shock and cusp for a typical interplanetary magnetic field configuration during the cusp energetic particle events. The bow shock, magnetosheath, and dayside magnetosphere form by interaction between the solar wind and geomagnetic dipole field. Ions of solar wind characteristics injected into the system evolve along with electromagnetic waves in a self-consistent manner. Several important features are yielded from the simulation. Solar wind ions are accelerated by the waves and turbulence at the bow shock and foreshock as indicated by the ion distribution. The shock-accelerated ions possess an exponential energy spectrum with their differential flux scaled by the field-aligned distance to the bow shock, consistent with satellite observations. Second, the compressive and transversal waves in the foreshock are strongly correlated with the diffuse ion dynamics. Third, energetic ions in the magnetosheath and cusp downstream from the Q-k shock also exhibit a spectrum similar to those at the shock. By tracing trajectories of cusp energetic ions in the simulation, the origin of these ions is revealed. Their source is predominantly associated with the Fermi acceleration at the Q-k shock and foreshock. Waves in the magnetosheath and cusp, as well as magnetic reconnection at the high-latitude magnetopause, are relatively insignificant in accelerating cusp energetic particles.
Poles of light resonances from unitarized Chiral perturbation Theory and their large Nc behavior

description: We have recently completed the one loop calculation of meson-meson scattering within Chiral Perturbation Theory. Once unitarized, these amplitudes provide simultaneously a remarkable description of the resonance region up to 1.2 GeV as well as the low energy region, respecting the chiral symmetry expansion. The position of the poles in these amplitudes is related to the mass and width of the associated resonances that are generated without being explicitly included in the Lagrangian. The spectroscopic nature of these states can then be deduced by studying the behavior of these poles, through the Nc dependence of the Chiral Perturbation Theory parameters, which can be obtained from QCD in the large Nc limit.

Real-space renormalization-group methods for hierarchical spin glasses

description: We focus on two real-space renormalization-group (RG) methods recently proposed for a hierarchical model of a spin glass: A sample-by-sample method, in which the RG transformation is performed separately on each disorder sample, and an ensemble RG (ERG) method [M. C. Angelini, G. Parisi, and F. Ricci-Tersenghi. Ensemble renormalization group for disordered systems. $\textit{Phys. Rev. B}$, 87(13):134201, 2013] in which the transformation is based on an average over samples. Above the upper critical dimension, the sample-by-sample method yields the correct mean-field value for the critical exponent $ν$ related to the divergence of the correlation length, while it does not predict the correct qualitative behavior of $ν$ below the upper critical dimension. On the other hand, the ERG procedure has been claimed to predict the correct behavior of $ν$ both above and below the upper critical dimension. Here, we straighten out the reasons for the discrepancy between the two methods above, by demonstrating that the ERG method predicts a marginally stable critical fixed point, thus implying a prediction for the critical exponent $ν$ given by $2^{1/ν} = 1$. This prediction disagrees, on a qualitative and quantitative level, both with the mean-field value of $ν$ above the critical dimension, and with numerical estimates of $ν$ below the upper critical dimension. Therefore, our results show that finding a real-space RG method for spin glasses which yields the correct prediction for universal quantities below the upper critical dimension is still an open problem, for which our analysis may provide some general guidance for future studies.

description: We study quantum neural networks made by parametric one-qubit gates and fixed two-qubit gates in the limit of infinite width, where the generated function is the expectation value of the sum of single-qubit observables over all the qubits. First, we prove that the probability distribution of the function generated by the untrained network with randomly initialized parameters converges in distribution to a Gaussian process whenever each measured qubit is correlated only with few other measured qubits. Then, we analytically characterize the training of the network via gradient descent with square loss on supervised learning problems. We prove that, as long as the network is not affected by barren plateaus, the trained network can perfectly fit the training set and that the probability distribution of the function generated after training still converges in distribution to a Gaussian process. Finally, we consider the statistical noise of the measurement at the output of the network and prove that a polynomial number of measurements is sufficient for all the previous results to hold and that the network can always be trained in polynomial time.

Improving precision and recall in study retrieval: A concept for thesaurus-based syntactic indexing
Creators: name: Friedrich, Tanja
name: Siegers, Pascal
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014

description: Current practice in subject indexing of study descriptions in data catalogues often consists in assigning a limited number of non-linked subject terms. To control for semantic ambiguity and improve recall in retrieval, ideally a thesaurus is used to perform this task. However, this practice does not solve the problem of syntactic ambiguity in subject indexing, which is of particular relevance to questionnaire-based study descriptions. For example, the general terms attitude, behaviour, and experience may co-occur with subject terms like democracy, homosexuality, and religion without being apparent, to which of these subjects the attitudes, behaviours, and experiences have been enquired. This kind of syntactic ambiguity results in imprecise retrieval, in particular when in-depth indexing is employed. We suggest a concept of thesaurus-based syntactic indexing for study descriptions that aims at using high specificity and pre-coordination of terms with the intention of improving recall as well as precision in retrieval. We are working with role indicators (indicating general or subject terms) and with term linking in order to index concepts on the item or variable level (e.g. 'democracy: attitude'; 'homosexuality: behavior'; 'religion: experience'). We plan to employ our concept of thesaurus-based syntactic indexing to enable sophisticated retrieval techniques like faceted searching.

description: Two series of benzoxazines were synthesized from o-, m-, and p-methoxyphenols, two polyetheramines with different molecular weights, and formaldehyde. The glass transition temperatures (Tgs) of m-methoxyphenol-based polybenzoxazines are respectively higher than those of o- and p-methoxyphenol-based counterparts. The polybenzoxazines exhibit thermally induced one-way dual-shape memory behavior based on Tg, and the o- and p-methoxyphenol-based polybenzoxazines exhibit higher shape memory performance than m-methoxyphenol-based counterparts under motion constraints.

description: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) causing tuberculosis (TB) infection is a leading source of illness and death in developing nations, and the emergence of drug-resistant TB remains a significant global threat and a challenge in treating the disease. Mutations in the inhA and katG genes are connected to the principal molecular mechanism of isoniazid (INH) resistance, and continuous treatment of INH for more than a decade led to the evolution of INH resistant-TB (inhR-TB). Structure-based drug discovery approaches on traditional natural compounds are the contemporary source to identify significant lead molecules. This work focuses on discovering effective small compounds from natural compound libraries and applying pharmacophore-based virtual screening to filter out the molecules. The best-identified hit complexes were used for molecular dynamics simulations (MDS) to observe their stability and compactness. A three-dimensional e-pharmacophore hypothesis and screening generated 62 hits based on phase fitness scores from the pharmacophore-based virtual screening. Molecular docking experiments in Maestro’s GLIDE module indicated that ZINC000002383126 and ASN22022 may be potential inhibitors of inhA and katG (native, inhA mutants S94A, Y158A, Y158F and Y158S and D137S, Y229F, S315T, W321F, and R418L mutants of katG). In addition, MDS analysis indicated that the native and mutant docked complexes of inhA and katG had good stability and remained compact in the binding pocket of the targets. In vitro studies can further validate the compounds that can act as INH competitive inhibitors.

description: The chlorometylated styrene–divinylbenzene copolymer with different percent of divinylbenzene (code: S-6.7 DVB, S-12DVB, and S-15DVB) was functionalized with 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde for obtaining intermediated polymers. The aminotrimethoxysilanphosphonate groups were grafted by one-pot reactions in tetrahydrofuran using three components: polymers grafted with aldehyde groups (code: CHO-6.7, CHO-12, and CHO-15), 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, diethylphosphite. The aminotrimethoxysilanphosphonate groups functionalized onto styrene-(6.7, 12, and 15%) divinylbenzene copolymer (code: PAF-6.7, PAF-12, and PAF-15) and evolution of the reaction were evidenced by FT-IR spectroscopy and porous structure by N2 adsorption-desorption, SEM microscopy. The thermal behavior of aldehydes and materials: PAF-6.7, PAF-12, and PAF-15 are different than initial polymer supports.
Simulation of pressure pulses in the bow shock and magnetosheath driven by variations in interplanetary magnetic field direction

Year: 1996

description: Two-dimensional (2-D) hybrid simulations are carried out to study the effects of the variation in the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) direction on the bow shock, magnetosheath, and magnetosphere. A curvilinear coordinate system is used in the simulation. The 2-D simulation is also compared with our one-dimensional simulation results. It is found that pressure pulses are generated as a result of the interaction between the bow shock (BS) and an interplanetary rotational discontinuity (RD). First, a structure consisting of a rotational discontinuity and two slow shocks are present downstream of the bow shock after the BS/RD interaction. The magnetic field and plasma density are anticorrelated in this structure, The dynamic pressure increases in the structure, leading to a pressure pulse in the magnetosheath. Second, a pressure pulse associated with reflected ions at the bow shock may be generated in the foreshock when the IMF changes its direction, especially when a local quasi-parallel bow shock becomes a quasi-perpendicular shock. The magnetic field, plasma density, and dynamic pressure are positively correlated in the upstream pressure pulse. This pressure pulse convects through and interacts with the bow shock, producing; a pressure pulse in the downstream region. The downstream pressure pulses propagate to the magnetopause. The amplitude of the downstream pressure pulses can be up to 100% of the background magnetosheath value. It is suggested that the pressure pulses impinging on the magnetopause may lead to the magnetic impulse events observed in the high-latitude ionosphere.

description: We discuss the various scales determining the temporal behaviour of correlation functions in the presence of eternal black holes. We point out the origins of the failure of the semiclassical gravity approximation to respect a unitarity-based bound suggested by Maldacena. We find that the presence of a subleading (in the large-N approximation involved) master field does restore the compliance with one bound but additional configurations are needed to explain the more detailed expected time dependence of the Poincare recurrences and their magnitude.

description: The arbitrariness in how the logarithm is defined within the QCD series for the inclusive electroproduction cross-section is shown to affect the summation to all orders in $α_s$ of leading and successively-subleading logarithms within that perturbative series, even though such summations largely eliminate the residual dependence of the original series on the arbitrary renormalization scale $μ$. However, given that the original (unimproved) series is known to third-order in $α_s(μ)$, this logarithm ambiguity is shown not to enter the optimally improved summation-of-logarithms series until the term fourth-order in $α_s(s)$, where $s$ is the physical center-of-mass energy squared. Consequently, the ambiguity in how the logarithm is defined is absorbable in the uncertainty associated with truncating the original perturbative series after its calculationally known terms.

description: Comparative social researchers often confront the challenge of making key concepts equivalent across different factors. Usual examples are geographical space or stretches of time or different codings. GESIS has developed the software program CharmStats (Coding and Harmonizing of Statistics) to provide social researchers with a structured, documentable and publishable solution to data harmonization. By enabling researchers to simultaneously perform and document the process of variable coding and harmonization, the resulting CharmStats Projects can be used for publication and citation providing also syntaxes for proprietary software packages. The presentation reviews the CharmStats software and the logic behind it. We will demonstrate how the application allows users to browse stored harmonization projects. Using the concept 'Education' and data from the CSES (Comparative Study of Electoral Systems) as our basis, we will present step by step a full publishable CharmStats Project.

description: We investigate in detail the momentum dependence ($MD$) of the effective in medium Nucleon-Nucleon ($NN$) interaction in the isovector channel. We focus the discussion on transport properties of the expected neutron-proton ($n/p$) effective mass splitting at high isospin density. We look at observable effects from collective flows in Heavy Ion Collisions ($HIC$) of charge asymmetric nuclei at intermediate energies. Using microscopic kinetic equation simulations nucleon transverse and elliptic collective flows in $Au+Au$ collisions are evaluated. In spite of the reduced charge asymmetry of the interacting system interesting $isospin-MD$ effects are revealed. Good observables, particularly sensitive to the $n/p$-mass splitting, appear to be the differences between neutron and proton flows. The importance of more exclusive measurements, with a selection of different bins of the transverse momenta ($p_t$) of the emitted particles, is stressed. In more inclusive data a compensation can be expected from different $p_t$-contributions, due to the microscopic $isospin-MD$ structure of the nuclear mean field in asymmetric matter.

description: Although the problem of spam classification seems to be solved, there are still vulnerabilities in the current spam filters that could be easily exploited. We present one such vulnerability, in which one could replace some characters with corresponding characters from a different alphabet. These characters are visually similar, yet have a different Unicode encoding. With this approach spammers can create messages that bypass existing spam filters. Moreover, we show that this approach can be used to avoid plagiarism detection, and in other applications that use natural language processing for automatic analysis of text documents.

description: The high-frequency dielectric relaxation of aqueous solutions of protonated diallylammonium polyelectrolyte, namely poly(diallylmethylammonium trifluoroacetate) has been studied at the maximum water dispersion frequencies, 7.5–25 GHz, and temperatures of 288, 298, and 308 K. Dielectric relaxation parameters have been calculated and compared with similar characteristics of aqueous solutions of monomer, diallylmethylammonium trifluoroacetate, and pyrrolidinium trifluoroacetate salt simulated structure of pyrrolidinium polymer link. It has been concluded that although the monomer features hydrophobic hydration, its polymer exhibits hydrophilic hydration properties. This change is related to conformation of hydrophilic-hydrophobic polycations in aqueous solutions and the change in the structure of polymer links.

description: We consider a modulated magnetic field, $B(t) = B_0 +\varepsilon f(ωt)$, perpendicular to a fixed plane, where $B_0$ is constant, $\varepsilon>0$ and $f$ a periodic function on the torus ${\mathbb T}^n$. Our aim is to study classical and quantum dynamics for the corresponding Landau Hamiltonian. It turns out that the results depend strongly on the chosen gauge. For the Landau gauge the position observable is unbounded for "almost all" non resonant frequencies $ω$. On the contrary, for the symmetric gauge we obtain that, for "almost all" non resonant frequencies $ω$, the Landau Hamiltonian is reducible to a two dimensional harmonic oscillator and thus gives rise to bounded dynamics. The proofs use KAM algorithms for the classical dynamics. Quantum applications are given. In particular, the Floquet spectrum is absolutely continuous in the Landau gauge while it is discrete, of finite multiplicity, in symmetric gauge.

description: Emission of pi, K, phi and Lambda was measured in near-central C+C and Si+Si collisions at 158 AGeV beam energy. Together with earlier data for p+p, S+S and Pb+Pb, the system-size dependence of relative strangeness production in nucleus-nucleus collisions is obtained. Its fast rise and the saturation observed at about 60 participating nucleons can be understood as onset of the formation of coherent partonic subsystems of increasing size.

The Compositional Diversity of Low-Mass Exoplanets

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: Low-mass planets have an extraordinarily diverse range of bulk compositions, from primarily rocky worlds to those with deep gaseous atmospheres. As techniques for measuring the masses of exoplanets are advancing the field towards the terrestrial regime, from ultra-short orbital periods to Venus-like distances, we identify the bounds on planet compositions, where sizes and incident fluxes inform bulk planet properties. In some cases, measurement precisions of planet masses and sizes are approaching the theoretical uncertainties in planet models. An emerging picture explains aspects of the diversity of low-mass planets although some problems remain; do extreme low density low-mass planets challenge models of atmospheric mass loss? Are planet sizes strictly separated by bulk composition? Why do some stellar characterizations differ between observational techniques? As the TESS mission begins, low-mass exoplanets around the nearest stars will soon be discovered and characterized with unprecedented precision, permitting more detailed planetary modeling and atmospheric characterization of low mass exoplanets than ever before.

description: A new class of soliton-like solutions is derived for the Grad-Shafranov (GS) equations. A mathematical analogy between the GS equation for MHD equilibria and the cubic Schrödinger (CS) equation for non-linear wave propagation forms the basis to derive the new class of solutions. The soliton-like solutions are considered for their possible relevance to astrophysics and solar physics problems. We discuss how a soliton-like solution can be generated by a repetitive process of magnetic arcade stretching and plasmoid formation induced by the differential rotation of the solar photosphere or of an accretion disk.
