description: The experimental data from quasielastic electron and (anti)neutrino scattering on $^{12}$C are reanalyzed in terms of a new scaling variable $ψ^*$ suggested by the interacting relativistic Fermi gas with scalar and vector interactions, which is known to generate a relativistic effective mass for the interacting nucleons. We construct a new scaling function $f^\text{QE}(ψ^*)$ for the inclusive lepton scattering from nuclei within the coherent density fluctuation model (CDFM). The latter is a natural extension of the relativistic Fermi gas model to finite nuclei. In this work, on the basis of the scaling function obtained within CDFM with a relativistic effective mass $m_N^* =0.8 m_N$, we calculate and compare the theoretical predictions with a large set of experimental data for inclusive ($e,e'$) and (anti)neutrino cross sections. The model also includes the contribution of weak two-body currents in the two-particle two-hole sector, evaluated within a fully relativistic Fermi gas. Good agreement with experimental data is found over the whole range of electron and (anti)neutrino energies.

description: In Nature, liquids often circulate in channels textured with leaflets, cilia or porous walls that deform with the flow. These soft structures are optimized to passively control flows and inspire the design of novel microfluidic and soft robotic devices. Yet so far the relationship between the geometry of the soft structures and the properties of the flow remains poorly understood. Here, taking inspiration from the lymphatic system, we devise millimetric scale fluidic channels with asymmetric soft leaflets that passively increase (reduce) the channel resistance for forward (backward) flows. Combining experiments, numerics and analytical theory, we show that tuning the geometry of the leaflets controls the flow properties of the channel through an interplay between asymmetry and nonlinearity. In particular, we find the conditions for which flow asymmetry is maximal. Our results open the way to a better characterization of biological leaflet malformations and to more accurate control of flow orientation and pumping mechanisms for microfluidics and soft robotic systems.

Easy DDI Organizer (EDO): Metadata management and survey planning tool based on DDI-Lifecycle
Creators: name: Motegi, Akira
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: We will introduce a metadata managing software project launched at Social Science Japan Data Archive (SSJDA), which is affiliated with Institute of Social Science, the University of Tokyo. The aim of the project is to develop Easy DDI Organizer (EDO), a metadata managing software which helps researchers to edit and manage metadata based on Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) 3.1. The implementation of DDI 3.1 consitutes one of the greatest features of EDO, in which researchers can record metadata such as study purpose, sampling procedure, mode of data collection, questions, question sequence, variable descriptions, and bibliographic information along with the scheme of data lifecycle. File-import/export function is another salient feature of EDO. It supports importing variable level metadata from SPSS files and exporting codebook and questionnaire. Our poster session will introduce the context and features of EDO with some demonstrations provided. We will also discuss its future improvements such as public release and other function enhancements.

In particular, we elucidate how the conservation of not only the crystal momentum (CM) but also the crystal angular momentum (CAM) manifests in the interaction vertex. This formulation provides a microscopic framework for describing physical processes involving chiral phonons. Furthermore, we construct a phononic analogue of Zilch, a known measure of chirality carried by light, and discuss its relationship with phonon angular momentum.

description: The COVID19 pandemic spread across the world in late 2019 and early 2020. As the pandemic spread, technologists joined forces with public health officials to develop apps to support COVID19 response. Yet, for these technological solutions to benefit public health, users must be willing to adopt these apps.This paper details the potential inputs to a user's decision to adopt a COVID19 contact-tracing app or other technology and empirically validates the relevance of these inputs via both the literature and a demographically-representative survey of 1,000 Americans.

description: We present the model of cosmic rays acceleration at ultrarelativistic subshocks and confront it with the observations of gamma-ray bursts and blazars. We investigate cosmic rays acceleration in shocks with Lorentz factors in the range 3 - 40. We show that fluctuations of the magnetic field downstream of the shock do not play an important role in the acceleration process. Results of numerical simulations for shocks with considered Lorentz factors and perpendicular magnetic field inclinations are presented. We fit the derived particle energy spectral index dependence on fluctuations of the magnetic field upstream and Lorentz factor of the shock with a function.

description: Introduction: The International Dermatology Outcome Measures (IDEOM) identified ‘Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) Symptoms’ as a core domain to be measured in psoriasis clinical trials. This domain includes the measurement of pain, patient global and physical function. Herein, we evaluated the quality (i.e. measurement properties) of five candidate ‘PsA Symptoms’ measures: Patient Global Assessment (PGA) for Joints, PGA for PsA, the Routine Assessment Patient Index 3 (RAPID3), the PsA Impact of Disease 9 (PsAID9) and PsAID12. Areas covered: We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE (inception-to-March 2018) for studies assessing the measurement properties of candidate instruments. Two reviewers independently assessed the risk of bias of 12 eligible articles using the COSMIN checklist. For each measurement property, we rated the quality of the evidence as ‘high,’ ‘moderate,’ ‘low,’ or ‘very low’ (GRADE approach) and classified the results as ‘sufficient,’ ‘insufficient,’ or ‘inconsistent.’ Finally, we provided recommendations. Expert opinion: In PsA, RAPID3 had ‘very low’ quality evidence for ‘sufficient’ content validity and no evidence of internal structure. Global assessment instruments had ‘very low’ quality evidence for ‘inconsistent’ content validity. PsAID9 and PsAID12 had ‘low’ evidence for ‘sufficient’ content validity and were recommended to measure ‘PsA Symptoms.’ Further validation studies will improve the level of evidence of this recommendation.
title: Belowground carbon sequestration potential of apple trees
Creators: name: Chapman, Catherine
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2024

description: Climate change is altering global weather patterns, threatening food security for the growing 
global population. Terrestrial soils have the potential to store twice as much carbon (C) as the 
atmosphere. It is, therefore, essential to explore factors that affect terrestrial C sequestration. 
Perennial crops such as apple trees sequester C belowground in their roots and surrounding soil
and could play an important role in mitigating rising CO2 levels and maintaining food production. 
However, factors influencing belowground C sequestration in apple trees are not fully 
understood. The overall aim of my thesis was to determine what attributes influence this process. 
This project explored several factors that may enhance or impede apple tree’s capacity to 
sequester C belowground throughout the orchard’s lifecycle. Five factors were identified: 1) 
rootstock variety, 2) scion variety, 3) increasing atmospheric temperature, 4) orchard age, 5) 
stored soil C post-grubbing, each with specific experimental aims. 
The results showed; 1) Rootstocks were not significantly different in amounts of soil C 
sequestered. Soil MBC showed significant declines across the three rootstocks between August 
and September’s destructive harvest (P = <0.0001). 2) There were some significant differences 
between scions in soil total % C, but not in other C fractions. Soil total C significantly increased 
under COP (P = 0.03) and Dabinett (P = 0.01) over eighteen months for pot grown trees. 3) An 
increase in UK temperature by 2oC was linked to increased belowground C sequestration across 
different apple cultivars. The 2oC above ambient tunnel was consistently higher in TC than the 
ambient tunnel (P between 0.01 and <0.0001), and the 4oC above ambient (P between <0.01 and 
<0.00001). 4) A decline in most soil C fractions as orchards aged was observed. Most significant 
declines occurred in orchards 6 years of age and under. 5) After grubbing, an initial significant loss 
of soil C occurred in the former tree stands during the two months following soil disturbance
(Ruben P = 0.04 and Gala P =0.01), followed by potential recovery if grass re-colonises the former 
tree stands. 
In conclusion, increasing atmospheric temperature by 2oC had a significant positive effect, 
whereas age of orchards and grubbing had significant negative effect on soil C. Grafted scions 
could have an impact but require longer-term studies. Rootstocks showed no significant effects 
on C sequestration across the five months. This study suggested the potential of apple trees to 
sequester C belowground may not be what is expected, compared with other studies. All these 
factors must be considered for accurately assessing apple orchards’ belowground C sequestration 
potential, enabling growers to work towards C net zero.
CADS: A Systematic Literature Review on the Challenges of Abstractive Dialogue Summarization

description: Abstractive dialogue summarization is the task of distilling conversations into informative and concise summaries. Although reviews have been conducted on this topic, there is a lack of comprehensive work detailing the challenges of dialogue summarization, unifying the differing understanding of the task, and aligning proposed techniques, datasets, and evaluation metrics with the challenges. This article summarizes the research on Transformer-based abstractive summarization for English dialogues by systematically reviewing 1262 unique research papers published between 2019 and 2024, relying on the Semantic Scholar and DBLP databases. We cover the main challenges present in dialog summarization (i.e., language, structure, comprehension, speaker, salience, and factuality) and link them to corresponding techniques such as graph-based approaches, additional training tasks, and planning strategies, which typically overly rely on BART-based encoder-decoder models. We find that while some challenges, like language, have seen considerable progress, mainly due to training methods, others, such as comprehension, factuality, and salience, remain difficult and hold significant research opportunities. We investigate how these approaches are typically assessed, covering the datasets for the subdomains of dialogue (e.g., meeting, medical), the established automatic metrics and human evaluation approaches for assessing scores and annotator agreement. We observe that only a few datasets span across all subdomains. The ROUGE metric is the most used, while human evaluation is frequently reported without sufficient detail on inner-annotator agreement and annotation guidelines. Additionally, we discuss the possible implications of the recently explored large language models and conclude that despite a potential shift in relevance and difficulty, our described challenge taxonomy remains relevant.

Resilient Privacy Protection for Location-Based Services through Decentralization

description: Location-Based Services (LBSs) provide valuable services, with convenient features for mobile users. However, the location and other information disclosed through each query to the LBS erodes user privacy. This is a concern especially because LBS providers can be honest-but-curious, collecting queries and tracking users' whereabouts and infer sensitive user data. This motivated both centralized and decentralized location privacy protection schemes for LBSs: anonymizing and obfuscating LBS queries to not disclose exact information, while still getting useful responses. Decentralized schemes overcome disadvantages of centralized schemes, eliminating anonymizers, and enhancing users' control over sensitive information. However, an insecure decentralized system could create serious risks beyond private information leakage. More so, attacking an improperly designed decentralized LBS privacy protection scheme could be an effective and low-cost step to breach user privacy. We address exactly this problem, by proposing security enhancements for mobile data sharing systems. We protect user privacy while preserving accountability of user activities, leveraging pseudonymous authentication with mainstream cryptography. We show our scheme can be deployed with off-the-shelf devices based on an experimental evaluation of an implementation in a static automotive testbed.

description: We report on stellar Mg I emission at 12 um from alpha CMi (Procyon), a star slightly hotter than the Sun. Solar Mg I emission is well-known and its formation was successfully explained in detail by Carlsson et al. (1992). Here, for the first time, we compare synthetic spectra of the emission lines at 12 um with observations of a star other than the Sun. The use of these lines as stellar diagnostics has been anticipated for 10 years or more. We find that the model reproduces the observed emission in Procyon quite well. We expect that high-resolution spectrographs on 8-10 m telescopes will finally be able to exploit these new diagnostics.

description: Purpose: To present a method that automatically segments and quantifies abnormal CT patterns commonly present in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), namely ground glass opacities and consolidations. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, the proposed method takes as input a non-contrasted chest CT and segments the lesions, lungs, and lobes in three dimensions, based on a dataset of 9749 chest CT volumes. The method outputs two combined measures of the severity of lung and lobe involvement, quantifying both the extent of COVID-19 abnormalities and presence of high opacities, based on deep learning and deep reinforcement learning. The first measure of (PO, PHO) is global, while the second of (LSS, LHOS) is lobewise. Evaluation of the algorithm is reported on CTs of 200 participants (100 COVID-19 confirmed patients and 100 healthy controls) from institutions from Canada, Europe and the United States collected between 2002-Present (April, 2020). Ground truth is established by manual annotations of lesions, lungs, and lobes. Correlation and regression analyses were performed to compare the prediction to the ground truth. Results: Pearson correlation coefficient between method prediction and ground truth for COVID-19 cases was calculated as 0.92 for PO (P < .001), 0.97 for PHO(P < .001), 0.91 for LSS (P < .001), 0.90 for LHOS (P < .001). 98 of 100 healthy controls had a predicted PO of less than 1%, 2 had between 1-2%. Automated processing time to compute the severity scores was 10 seconds per case compared to 30 minutes required for manual annotations. Conclusion: A new method segments regions of CT abnormalities associated with COVID-19 and computes (PO, PHO), as well as (LSS, LHOS) severity scores.

description: We propose a cross-media lecture-on-demand system, in which users can selectively view specific segments of lecture videos by submitting text queries. Users can easily formulate queries by using the textbook associated with a target lecture, even if they cannot come up with effective keywords. Our system extracts the audio track from a target lecture video, generates a transcription by large vocabulary continuous speech recognition, and produces a text index. Experimental results showed that by adapting speech recognition to the topic of the lecture, the recognition accuracy increased and the retrieval accuracy was comparable with that obtained by human transcription.
Regge residues from DGLAP evolution

description: We show that combining forward and backward evolution allows to extract the residues of the triple-pole pomeron and of the other singularities for 10 GeV$^2 \le Q^2 \le 1000$ GeV$^2$. In this approach, the essential singularity generated by the DGLAP evolution is considered as a numerical approximation to a triple-pole pomeron. Using an analytical expression for the form factors, we reproduce the experimental data with a $χ^2/dof$ of 1.02. This proves the compatibility between Regge theory and DGLAP evolution. The method used here enables us to evaluate the uncertainties on the gluon distribution which prove to be large at small $x$ and small $Q^2$.

description: We have searched for neutrinoless tau lepton decays into three charged leptons using an 87.1 fb^{-1} data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e^+e^- collider. Since the number of signal candidate events is compatible with that expected from the background, we set 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions in the range (1.9-3.5) x 10^{-7} for various decay modes tau -> l l l where l represents e or mu.

description: During the summer of 2019-20, while Australia suffered unprecedented bushfires across the country, false narratives regarding arson and limited backburning spread quickly on Twitter, particularly using the hashtag #ArsonEmergency. Misinformation and bot- and troll-like behaviour were detected and reported by social media researchers and the news soon reached mainstream media. This paper examines the communication and behaviour of two polarised online communities before and after news of the misinformation became public knowledge. Specifically, the Supporter community actively engaged with others to spread the hashtag, using a variety of news sources pushing the arson narrative, while the Opposer community engaged less, retweeted more, and focused its use of URLs to link to mainstream sources, debunking the narratives and exposing the anomalous behaviour. This influenced the content of the broader discussion. Bot analysis revealed the active accounts were predominantly human, but behavioural and content analysis suggests Supporters engaged in trolling, though both communities used aggressive language.

description: We measured the temperature dependence of the 1st and the 3rd harmonics of the AC magnetic susceptibility on some type II superconducting samples at different AC field amplitudes, hAC. In order to interpret the measurements, we computed the harmonics of the AC susceptibility as function of the temperature T, by integrating the non-linear diffusion equation for the magnetic field with different creep models, namely the vortex glass-collective creep (single-vortex, small bundle and large bundle) and Kim-Anderson model. We also computed them by using a non-linear phenomenological I-V characteristics, including a power law dependence of the pinning potential on hAC. Our experimental results were compared with the numerically computed ones, by the analysis of the Cole-Cole plots. This method results more sensitive than the separate component analysis, giving the possibility to obtain detailed information about the contribution of the flux dynamic regimes in the magnetic response of the analysed samples.

description: Assessing the effective relevance of multiband effects in the fullerides is of fundamental importance to understand the complex superconducting and transport properties of these compounds. In this paper we investigate in particular the role of the multiband effects on the electron-phonon (el-ph) properties of the $t_{1u}$ bands coupled with the Jahn-Teller intra-molecular $H_g$ vibrational modes in the C$_{60}$ compounds. We show that, assuming perfect degeneracy of the electronic bands, vertex diagrams arising from the breakdown of the adiabatic hypothesis, are one order of magnitude smaller than the non-crossing terms usually retained in the Migdal-Eliashberg (ME) theory. These results permit to understand the robustness on ME theory found by numerical calculations. The effects of the non degeneracy of the $t_{1u}$ in realistic systems are also analyzed. Using a tight-binding model we show that the el-ph interaction is mainly dominated by interband scattering within a single electronic band. Our results question the reliability of a degenerate band modeling and show the importance of these combined effects in the $A_3$C$_{60}$ family.

description: COVID-19 has a wide range of symptoms reported, which may vary from very mild cases (even asymptomatic) to deadly infections. Identifying high mortality risk individuals infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus through a prediction instrument that uses simple clinical and analytical parameters at admission can help clinicians to focus on treatment efforts in this group of patients. Data was obtained retrospectively from the electronic medical record of all COVID-19 patients hospitalized in the Albacete University Hospital Complex until July 2020. Patients were split into two: a generating and a validating cohort. Clinical, demographical, and laboratory variables were included. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to select variables associated with in-hospital mortality in the generating cohort. A numerical and subsequently a categorical score according to mortality was constructed (A.-mortality from 0 to 5%; B.-from 5 to 15%; C.-from 15 to 30%; D.-from 30 to 50%; E.-greater than 50%). These scores were validated with the validation cohort. Variables independently related to mortality during hospitalization were age, diabetes mellitus, confusion, SaFiO2, heart rate, and LDH at admission. The numerical score defined ranges from 0 to 13 points. Scores included are: age ≥71 years (3 points), diabetes mellitus (1 point), confusion (2 points), onco-hematologic disease (1 point), SaFiO2 ≤ 419 (3 points), heart rate ≥100 bpm (1point), and LDH ≥390 IU/L (2 points). The area under the curve (AUC) for the numerical and categorical scores from the generating cohort were 0.8625 and 0.848, respectively. In the validating cohort, AUCs were 0.8505 for the numerical score and 0.8313 for the categorical score. . Data analysis found a correlation between clinical admission parameters and in-hospital mortality for COVID-19 patients. This correlation is used to develop a model to assist physicians in the emergency department in the COVID-19 treatment decision-making process.

description: The metal-graphene contact resistance is one of the major limiting factors toward the technological exploitation of graphene in electronic devices and sensors. A high contact resistance can be detrimental to device performance and spoil the intrinsic great properties of graphene. In this paper, we fabricate graphene field-effect transistors with different geometries to study the contact and channel resistance as well as the carrier mobility as a function of gate voltage and temperature. We apply the transfer length method and the y-function method showing that the two approaches can complement each other to evaluate the contact resistance and prevent artifacts in the estimation of the gate-voltage dependence of the carrier mobility. We find that the gate voltage modulates the contact and the channel resistance in a similar way but does not change the carrier mobility. We also show that the raising temperature lowers the carrier mobility, has negligible effect on the contact resistance, and can induce a transition from a semiconducting to a metallic behavior of the graphene sheet resistance, depending on the applied gate voltage. Finally we show that eliminating the detrimental effects of the contact resistance on the transistor channel current almost doubles the carrier field-effect mobility and that a competitive contact resistance an be achieved by the zig-zag shaping of the Ni contact.

description: The proton's elastic electromagnetic form factors are calculated using an Ansatz for the nucleon's Poincare' covariant Faddeev amplitude that only retains scalar diquark correlations. A spectator approximation is employed for the current. On the domain of q^2 accessible in modern precision experiments these form factors are a sensitive probe of nonperturbative strong interaction dynamics. The ratio of Pauli and Dirac form factors can provide realistic constraints on models of the nucleon and thereby assist in developing an understanding of nucleon structure.

The Heart of Britannia : Utilizing Care Ethics to Envision a DIY Skatepark
Creators: name: Williams, Alexander
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: Britannia Courts, a DIY skatepark in East Vancouver, has become an important hub for skateboarders across Greater Vancouver since its inception in 2017. The skatepark helps to meet the needs of the community with a new space for skateboarding, which Vancouver has not seen since 2011, along with a novel community-oriented design. All of the features at Britannia Courts are built by the community and made primarily out of wood, allowing them to be rearranged for different skateboard skill levels and a variety of events that take place there. As wood degrades quickly in Vancouver, the materiality also requires the community to work together to repair and maintain the space. This has led to a level of care, respect, and responsibility for a public space that is rarely found in Vancouver. Despite Britannia Courts’ vibrancy, it has yet to be included within the Britannia Renewal plan. This project, in response to this, envisions Britannia Courts within the Master Plan, particularly within the central commons (referred to as ‘the heart of the community centre’). Inspired by the profound sense of care at Britannia Courts, this project establishes a novel design approach that extends care ethics to landscape architecture and tactical urbanism. In doing so, it exemplifies the interconnected roles of landscape architects and communities to create inclusive public spaces.
