description: The current document, titled ‘D4.2: Second version of the Description of TIME4CS training programs’, has been developed within the framework of the TIME4CS project which is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No 101006201.
 The main objectives of this Deliverable are to: Map and introduce current insights into citizen science training programs across Europe; Identify the key concepts, capabilities, and infrastructures for citizen science training, partly from training identified and partly from insights from WP1 and WP2; and Describe the updated training programs in TIME4CS. To this end, the document gives a short overview of the literature on citizen science training and maps out current citizen science training offered across Europe. It proceeds to identify the key concepts, capabilities and infrastructures addressed in current training offered as well as those required to embed citizen science into research performing organisations based on work done in work packages 1 and 2. The document ends with an updated description of the TIME4CS training program planned.
 In total, four training courses (one for each of the four Intervention Areas (Research, Education & Awareness, Support Resources & Infrastructure, and Policy & Assessment)) have been developed further. The training courses can be combined into a complete training program, or used separately, depending on the needs and requirements of the implementing institution. All training courses are based on previous analysis performed by the TIME4CS consortium, specifically WP1 and WP2, and on the analysis of best practices identified in current training programs performed in WP4. Training courses will be assessed in close coordination with WP5.

description: To date, fully cosmological hydrodynamic disk simulations to redshift zero have only been undertaken with particle-based codes, such as GADGET, Gasoline, or GCD+. In light of the (supposed) limitations of traditional implementations of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), or at the very least, their respective idiosyncrasies, it is important to explore complementary approaches to the SPH paradigm to galaxy formation. We present the first high-resolution cosmological disk simulations to redshift zero using an adaptive mesh refinement (AMR)-based hydrodynamical code, in this case, RAMSES. We analyse the temporal and spatial evolution of the simulated stellar disks' vertical heating, velocity ellipsoids, stellar populations, vertical and radial abundance gradients (gas and stars), assembly/infall histories, warps/lopsideness, disk edges/truncations (gas and stars), ISM physics implementations, and compare and contrast these properties with our sample of cosmological SPH disks, generated with GCD+. These preliminary results are the first in our long-term Galactic Archaeology Simulation program.

description: Stellar winds govern the spin-down of Solar-type stars as they age, and play an important role in determining planetary habitability, as powerful winds can lead to atmospheric erosion. We calculate three-dimensional stellar wind models for five young Solar-type stars in the Hyades cluster, using TOUPIES survey stellar magnetograms and state-of-the-art Alfvén wave driven wind modelling. The stars have the same 0.6-Gyr age and similar fundamental parameters, and we account for the uncertainty in and underestimation of absolute field strength inherent in Zeeman-Doppler imaging by adopting both unscaled and scaled (by a factor of five) field strengths. For the unscaled fields, the resulting stellar wind mass loss is 2-4 times greater and the angular momentum loss 2-10 times greater than for the Sun today, with the scaled results correspondingly greater. We compare our results with a range published of wind models and for the Alfvén wave driven modelling see evidence of mass loss saturation at about $10 \dot M_\odot$.

description: Current network security systems are a collection of various security components, which are directly installed in the operating system. These check the whole node for suspicious behaviour. Armouring intrusions e.g. have the ability to hide themselves from being checked. We present in this paper an alternative organisation of security systems. The node is completely virtualized with current virtualization systems so that the operating system with applications and the security system is distinguished. The security system then checks the node from outside and the right security components are provided through a service oriented architecture. Due to the running in a virtual machine, the infected nodes can be halted, duplicated, and moved to other nodes for further analysis and legal aspects. This organisation is in this article analysed and a preliminary implementation showing promising results are discussed.

Stratorotational instability in MHD Taylor-Couette flows

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008

description: The stability of dissipative Taylor-Couette flows with an axial stable density stratification and a prescribed azimuthal magnetic field is considered. Global nonaxisymmetric solutions of the linearized MHD equations with toroidal magnetic field, axial density stratification and differential rotation are found for both insulating and conducting cylinder walls. Flat rotation laws such as the quasi-Kepler law are unstable against the nonaxisymmetric stratorotational instability (SRI). The influence of a current-free toroidal magnetic field depends on the magnetic Prandtl number Pm: SRI is supported by Pm > 1 and it is suppressed by Pm \lsim 1. For too flat rotation laws a smooth transition exists to the instability which the toroidal magnetic field produces in combination with the differential rotation. This nonaxisymmetric azimuthal magnetorotational instability (AMRI) has been computed under the presence of an axial density gradient. If the magnetic field between the cylinders is not current-free then also the Tayler instability occurs and the transition from the hydrodynamic SRI to the magnetic Tayler instability proves to be rather complex. Most spectacular is the `ballooning' of the stability domain by the density stratification: already a rather small rotation stabilizes magnetic fields against the Tayler instability. An azimuthal component of the resulting electromotive force only exists for density-stratified flows. The related alpha-effect for magnetic SRI of Kepler rotation appears to be positive for negative dρ/dz <0.

THESIS CHAPTER Who's responsible? Exploring the role of worldview, framing and social factors in perceived accountability for climate change in Gen Z
Creators: name: Bogert, J.M.
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: In this study we explore the relationships between accountability framing, climate change beliefs, social context, and individual beliefs and values (worldview).We aim to understand how these factors influence young adult’s perceived accountability of five different actors for causing or solving climate change, in an edited news media article. Analysing Dutch survey data (n=104), our results show significant differences in the participants perception of news media with regards to the degree to which actors are held accountable for causing and solving climate change. We found that the more you discuss climate change with friends and family is associated with an increase in perceived scientific consensus and certainty that climate change is happening. We also found a significant effect of Gen Z’s worldviews on how they communicate about the issue with their friends and family. People with a Modern worldview talk less to friends and family about climate change than people with Postmodern and Integratives worldviews.

description: Pixelated silicon detectors are state-of-the-art technology to achieve precise tracking and vertexing at collider experiments, designed to accurately measure the hit position of incoming particles in high rate and radiation environments. The detector requirements become extremely demanding for operation at the High-Luminosity LHC, where up to 200 interactions will overlap in the same bunch crossing on top of the process of interest. Additionally, fluences up to 2.3 10^16 cm^-2 1 MeV neutron equivalent at 3.0 cm distance from the beam are expected for an integrated luminosity of 3000 fb^-1. In the last decades, the pixel pitch has constantly been reduced to cope with the experiment's needs of achieving higher position resolution and maintaining low pixel occupancy per channel. The spatial resolution improves with a decreased pixel size but it degrades with radiation damage. Therefore, prototype sensor modules for the upgrade of the experiments at the HL-LHC need to be tested after being irradiated. This paper describes position resolution measurements on planar prototype sensors with 100x25 um^2 pixels for the CMS Phase-2 Upgrade. It reviews the dependence of the position resolution on the relative inclination angle between the incoming particle trajectory and the sensor, the charge threshold applied by the readout chip, and the bias voltage. A precision setup with three parallel planes of sensors has been used to investigate the performance of sensors irradiated to fluences up to F_eq = 3.6 10^15 cm-2. The measurements were performed with a 5 GeV electron beam. A spatial resolution of 3.2 +\- 0.1 um is found for non-irradiated sensors, at the optimal angle for charge sharing. The resolution is 5.0 +/- 0.2 um for a proton-irradiated sensor at F_eq = 2.1 10^15 cm-2 and a neutron-irradiated sensor at F_eq = 3.6 10^15 cm^-2.

Using the Carnot cycle to determine changes of the phase transition temperature

description: The Clausius-Clapeyron relation and its analogs in other first-order phase transitions, such as type-I superconductors, are derived using very elementary methods, without appealing to the more advanced concepts of entropy or Gibbs free energy. The reasoning is based on Kelvin's formulation of the second law of thermodynamics, and should be accessible to high school students. After recalling some basic facts about the Carnot cycle, we present two very different systems that undergo discontinuous phase transitions (ice/water and normal/superconductor), and construct engines that exploit the properties of these systems to produce work. In each case, we show that if the transition temperature $T_tr$ were independent of other parameters, such as pressure or magnetic field, it would be possible to violate Kelvin's principle, i.e., to construct a perpetuum mobile of the second kind. Since the proposed cyclic processes can be realized reversibly in the limit of infinitesimal changes in temperature, their efficiencies must be equal to that of an ordinary Carnot cycle. We immediately obtain an equation of the form $dT /dX = f(T, X)$, which governs how the transition temperature changes with the parameter $X$.

description: We study the influence of superconducting correlations on the electronic specific heat in a diffusive superconductor-normal metal-superconductor Josephson junction. We present a description of this system in the framework of the diffusive-limit Green's function theory, taking into account finite temperatures, phase difference as well as junction parameters. We find that proximity effect may lead to a substantial deviation of the specific heat as compared to that in the normal state, and that it can be largely tuned in magnitude by changing the phase difference between the superconductors. A measurement setup to confirm these predictions is also suggested.

description: Exact-exchange self-consistent calculations of the Kohn-Sham potential, surface energy, and work function of jellium slabs are reported in the framework of the Optimized Effective Potential (OEP) scheme of Density Functional Theory. In the vacuum side of the jellium surface and at a distance $z$ that is larger than the slab thickness, the exchange-only Kohn-Sham potential is found to be image-like ($\sim -e^2/z$) but with a coefficient that differs from that of the classical image potential $V_{im}(z)=-e^2/4z$. The three OEP contributions to the surface energy (kinetic, electrostatic, and exchange) are found to oscillate as a function of the slab thickness, as occurs in the case of the corresponding calculations based on the use of single-particle orbitals and energies obtained in the Local Density Approximation (LDA). The OEP work function presents large quantum size effects that are absent in the LDA and which reflect the intrinsic derivative discontinuity of the exact Kohn-Sham potential.

description: Sub-micro structured surfaces allow modifying the behavior of polymer films or components. Especially in micro fluidics a lotus-like characteristic is requested for many applications. Structure details with a high aspect ratio are necessary to decouple the bottom and the top of the functional layer. Unlike to stochastic methods, patterning with a LIGA-mold insert it is possible to structure surfaces very uniformly or even with controlled variations (e.g. with gradients). In this paper we present the process chain to realize polymer sub-micro structures with minimum lateral feature size of 400 nm and up to 4 micrometers high.

description: The need for wearable or abandoned microsystems, as well as the trend to a lower power consumption of electronic devices, make miniaturized renewable energy generators a viable alternative to batteries. Among the different alternatives, an interesting option is the use of inertial microgenerators for energy scavenging from vibrations present in the environment. These devices constitute perpetual energy sources without the need for refilling, thus being well suited for abandoned sensors, wireless systems or microsystems which must be embedded within the structure, without outside physical connections. Different electromagnetic energy scavenging devices have been described in the literature [1,2,3], based on the use of a velocity damped resonator, which is well suited for harvesting of vibrational energy induced by the operation of machines. These vibrations are characterized by a well defined frequency (in the range between few Hz's and few kHz's) and low displacement amplitudes. Adjusting the resonant frequency of the system to that of the vibrations allows amplification of these low amplitude displacements. Moreover, for these applications, the use of an electromagnetic device has the potential advantages of a good level of compatibility with Si Microsystem technology, as well as the possibility of relatively high electromechanical coupling with simple designs.

description: A novel fabrication process, which uses wafer transfer and micro-electroplating technique, has been proposed and tested. In this paper, the effects of the diaphragm thickness and stress, the air-gap thickness, and the area ratio of acoustic holes to backplate on the sensitivity of the condenser microphone have been demonstrated since the performance of the microphone depends on these parameters. The microphone diaphragm has been designed with a diameter and thickness of 1.9 mm and 0.6 $μ$m, respectively, an air-gap thickness of 10 $μ$m, and a 24% area ratio of acoustic holes to backplate. To obtain a lower initial stress, the material used for the diaphragm is polyimide. The measured sensitivities of the microphone at the bias voltages of 24 V and 12 V are -45.3 and -50.2 dB/Pa (at 1 kHz), respectively. The fabricated microphone shows a flat frequency response extending to 20 kHz.

description: Co single atom junctions on copper surfaces are studied by scanning tunneling microscopy and ab-initio calculations. The Kondo temperature of single cobalt atoms on the Cu(111) surface has been measured at various tip-sample distances ranging from tunneling to the point contact regime. The experiments show a constant Kondo temperature for a whole range of tip-substrate distances consistently with the predicted energy position of the spin-polarized d-levels of Co. This is in striking difference to experiments on Co/Cu(100) junctions, where a substantial increase of the Kondo temperature has been found. Our calculations reveal that the different behavior of the Co adatoms on the two Cu surfaces originates from the interplay between the structural relaxations and the electronic properties in the near-contact regime.

description: The aim of a joint research and development project at the BME and HWU is to produce a cheap, reliable, low-power and CMOS-MEMS process compatible capacitive type relative humidity (RH) sensor that can be incorporated into a state-of-the-art, wireless sensor network. In this paper we discuss the preparation of our new capacitive structure based on post-CMOS MEMS processes and the methods which were used to characterize the thin film porous alumina sensing layer. The average sensitivity is approx. 15 pF/RH% which is more than a magnitude higher than the values found in the literature. The sensor is equipped with integrated resistive heating, which can be used for maintenance to reduce drift, or for keeping the sensing layer at elevated temperature, as an alternative method for temperature-dependence cancellation.

description: It has recently been shown that a stationary, asymptotically flat vacuum black hole in five space-time dimensions with two commuting axial symmetries must have an event horizon with either a spherical, ring or lens-space topology. In this paper, we study the third possibility, a so-called black lens with L(n,1) horizon topology. Using the inverse scattering method, we construct a black lens solution with the simplest possible rod structure, and possessing a single asymptotic angular momentum. Its properties are then analysed; in particular, it is shown that there must either be a conical singularity or a naked curvature singularity present in the space-time.

Terpenoids from two British Columbia nudibranchs
Creators: name: Hellou, Jocelyne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The two British Columbia nudibranchs Cadiina luteomarginata and Acanthadoris nanaimoensis have sweet fragrances. The possible importance of odours in the interactions of marine organisms initially aroused our chemical curiosity. The results of our research concerning the structural investigation of seven terpenoids obtained from the organic extracts of these two opisthobranch molluscs is presented in this thesis. Five of the molecules isolated from luteomarginata have been identified as furodysin (53), furodysinin (54), microcionin-2 (55), albicanyl acetate (51) and albicanol (52). A sixth molecule, luteone (57) which gives the sweet fragrance to C. luteomarginata has been partially characterized . A crystalline derivative of this methyl ketone has been submitted for X-ray diffraction analysis. The sweet fragrance of A. nanaimoensis has been related to the presence of a sesquiterpenoid (existing as two constitutional isomers, in a 5:1 ratio). Three hypothetical structures based on spectral analysis, chemical reactions and biosynthetic reasoning are proposed. The biological origin of the seven terpenoids has also been investigated and is discussed in this thesis.

description: Potential core materials to supersede ferrite in the 0.5-10 MHz frequency range are investigated. The performance of electrodeposited nickel-iron, cobalt-iron-copper alloys and the commercial alloy Vitrovac 6025 have been assessed through their inclusion within a custom-made solenoid microinductor. Although the present inductor, at 500 KHz, achieves 77% power efficiency for 24.7W/cm3 power density, an optimized process predicts a power efficiency of 97% for 30.83W/cm3 power density. The principle issues regarding microinductor design and performance are discussed.

description: We compute the luminosity function (LF) and the formation rate of long gamma ray bursts (GRBs) in three different scenarios: i) GRBs follow the cosmic star formation and their LF is constant in time; ii) GRBs follow the cosmic star formation but the LF varies with redshift; iii) GRBs form preferentially in low-metallicity environments. We then test model predictions against the Swift 3-year data, showing that scenario i) is robustly ruled out. Moreover, we show that the number of bright GRBs detected by Swift suggests that GRBs should have experienced some sort of luminosity evolution with redshift, being more luminous in the past. Finally we propose to use the observations of the afterglow spectrum of GRBs at z>5.5 to constrain the reionization history and we applied our method to the case of GRB 050904.

description: A novel way of filling high aspect ratio vertical interconnection (microvias) with an aspect ratio of >2:1 is presented. High frequency acoustic streaming at megasonic frequencies enables the decrease of the Nernst-diffusion layer down to the sub-micron range, allowing thereby conformal electrodeposition in deep grooves. Higher throughput and better control over the deposition properties are possible for the manufacturing of interconnections and metal-based MEMS.

description: Conductive micro-patterned copper tracks were fabricated by UV direct-writing of a nanoparticle silver seed layer followed by selective electroless copper deposition. Silver ions were first incorporated into a hydrolyzed polyimide surface layer by wet chemical treatment. A photoreactive polymer coating, methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) was coated on top of the substrate prior to UV irradiation. Electrons released through the interaction between the MPEG molecules and UV photons allowed the reduction of the silver ions across the MPEG/doped polyimide interface. The resultant silver seed layer has a cluster morphology which is suitable for the initiation of electroless plating. Initial results showed that the deposited copper tracks were in good agreement with the track width on the photomask and laser direct-writing can also fabricate smaller line width metal tracks with good accuracy. The facile fabrication presented here can be carried out in air, at atmospheric pressure, and on contoured surfaces.

description: We consider here a layered superconductor subject to an externally applied moderately-strong electromagnetic field. We predict hysteretic jumps in the dependence of the surface reactance of the superconductor on the amplitude of the incident electromagnetic wave. This very unusual nonlinear phenomenon can be observed in thin superconducting slabs at not very strong ac amplitudes, if the frequency of the irradiating field is close to the Josephson plasma frequency. Using the set of coupled sine-Gordon equations, we derive the expression for the phase shift of the reflected wave and obtain the conditions for the appearance of hysteresis.

description: Multilayered ceramic substrates with embedded micro patterns are becoming increasingly important, for example, in harsh environment electronics and microfluidic devices. Fabrication of these embedded micro patterns, such as micro channels, cavities and vias, is a challenge. This study focuses on the process of patterning micro features on ceramic green substrates using micro embossing. A ceramic green tape that possessed near-zero shrinkage in the x-y plane was used, six layers of which were laminated as the embossing substrate. The process parameters that impact on the pattern fidelity were investigated and optimized in this study. Micro features with line-width as small as several micrometers were formed on the ceramic green substrates. The dynamic thermo-mechanical analysis indicated that extending the holding time at certain temperature range would harden the green substrates with little effect on improving the embossing fidelity. Ceramic substrates with embossed micro patterns were obtain d after co-firing. The embedded micro channels were also obtained by laminating the green tapes on the embossed substrates.

A Fully Rigorous Proof of the Twin Prime Conjecture via Analytic Sieve Methods

description: We present a complete and formal proof of the Twin Prime Conjecture: there exist infinitely many primes p such that p+2 is also prime. This proof rigorously formalizes the heuristic modular sieve framework proposed by Nicola Kosturski and re-engineers it using advanced tools in analytic number theory, including the Selberg sieve, Maynard’s weighted method, and the Bombieri–Vinogradov theorem. All probabilistic expectations are replaced by provable analytic estimates, yielding a contradiction under the assumption of finitely many twin primes. The proof is unconditional and consistent with the standards of contemporary prime number theory.

description: Thermal functional circuits are an interesting and perspectivic group of the MEMS elements. A practical realization is called Quadratic Transfer Characteristic (QTC) element which driving principle is the Seebeck-effect. In this paper we present the analyses of a QTC element from different perspectives. To check the real behavior of the device, we measured a few, secondary properties of the structure which correspond to special behavior because these properties can not be easily derived from the main characteristics.

description: Brad Efron's paper [arXiv:0808.0572] has inspired a return to the ideas behind Bayes, frequency and empirical Bayes. The latter preferably would not be limited to exchangeable models for the data and hyperparameters. Parallels are revealed between microarray analyses and profiling of hospitals, with advances suggesting more decision modeling for gene identification also. Then good multilevel and empirical Bayes models for random effects should be sought when regression toward the mean is anticipated.

description: Properties of typical MEMS materials have been widely investigated. Mechanical properties of MEMS structures depend not only on the bulk material properties, but also structural factors. A measurement system has been made to measure force/deflection on microstructures to examine some of the structural properties. This is a stylus setup integrated with a load cell and a linear actuator. First, the requirements for the measurement system were established. Then the system was built up and characterized. We have successfully made measurements on a typical micromechanical structure, a cantilever accelerometer design. The stylus placement accuracy, the spring constant along the proof mass, analysis of the force/deflection curve shape and destructive tests on the cantilever have been investigated in our experiment and will be presented in this paper.
