description: Cyclotron-resonance (CR) measurements on two-dimensional (2D) electrons in AlGaN/GaN heterojunctions reveal large splittings (up to 2 meV) of the CR line for all investigated densities, $n_{2D}$, from 1 to $4\times 10^{12}cm^{-2}$ over wide ranges of magnetic field. The features resemble a level anti-crossing and imply a strong interaction with an unknown excitation of the solid. The critical energy of the splitting varies from 5 to 12 meV and as $\sqrt{n_{2D}}$. The phenomenon resembles data from AlGaAs/GaAs whose origin remains unresolved. It highlights a lack of basic understanding of a very elementary resonance in solids.

description: How romantic partners interact with each other during a conflict influences how they feel at the end of the interaction and is predictive of whether the partners stay together in the long term. Hence understanding the emotions of each partner is important. Yet current approaches that are used include self-reports which are burdensome and hence limit the frequency of this data collection. Automatic emotion prediction could address this challenge. Insights from psychology research indicate that partners' behaviors influence each other's emotions in conflict interaction and hence, the behavior of both partners could be considered to better predict each partner's emotion. However, it is yet to be investigated how doing so compares to only using each partner's own behavior in terms of emotion prediction performance. In this work, we used BERT to extract linguistic features (i.e., what partners said) and openSMILE to extract paralinguistic features (i.e., how they said it) from a data set of 368 German-speaking Swiss couples (N = 736 individuals) which were videotaped during an 8-minutes conflict interaction in the laboratory. Based on those features, we trained machine learning models to predict if partners feel positive or negative after the conflict interaction. Our results show that including the behavior of the other partner improves the prediction performance. Furthermore, for men, considering how their female partners spoke is most important and for women considering what their male partner said is most important in getting better prediction performance. This work is a step towards automatically recognizing each partners' emotion based on the behavior of both, which would enable a better understanding of couples in research, therapy, and the real world.

description: Robin Clark was a distinguished physical/inorganic chemist who made major discoveries in the coordination chemistry of the early transition metals, especially of titanium and vanadium complexes with high coordination numbers (notably seven and eight) and of the structures and physical properties of mixed valence, linear chain and metal–metal bonded compounds. He applied far-infrared spectroscopy to study metal–ligand vibrations systematically and established the technique for structure elucidation of transition metal and main group compounds. He also developed Raman and resonance Raman spectroscopy applied to inorganic compounds and highly coloured solids including mineral samples. That work led to his seminal applications of microbeam Raman spectroscopy for the identification of pigments and other constituents of artworks and historical artefacts, thereby developing a basis for testing their provenance and the identification of forgeries.

description: This presentation was part of the EOSC Symposium 2024 Unconference "Data competencies: training, education, qualification for researchers and data stewards".

Organisers: NFDI Section EduTrain, NFDI4Health, DALIA Knowledge-Base for FAIR data usage and knowledge graph

Training and education are important prerequisites for research data management and data science. At European level and within the EOSC, there are already a number of projects dealing with this topic, e.g. Skills4EOSC and ELIXIR/TeSS. At national level, the German NFDI addresses capacity building at both disciplinary and cross-cutting levels. In this unconference, we want to bring national and European actors together to raise awareness, share knowledge and perspectives, and encourage collaboration and discussion on alignment. Verifiable, trustworthy credentials will be a particular focus, as the responsible use of data within ethical and legal constraints becomes increasingly important.

After a brief introduction to the state of knowledge of different target groups such as researchers and data stewards on research data management and data science, a panel discussion addressed important issues for the further development of training and education for these target groups. The focus was on questions of verifiable qualification (certificate), e.g. to be allowed to work with sensitive data, suitable training and education formats and their international standardisation options.

description: We study the phase-synchronization properties of systolic and diastolic arterial pressure in healthy subjects. We find that delays in the oscillatory components of the time series depend on the frequency bands that are considered, in particular we find a change of sign in the phase shift going from the Very Low Frequency band to the High Frequency band. This behavior should reflect a collective behavior of a system of nonlinear interacting elementary oscillators. We prove that some models describing such systems, e.g. the Winfree and the Kuramoto models offer a clue to this phenomenon. For these theoretical models there is a linear relationship between phase shifts and the difference of natural frequencies of oscillators and a change of sign in the phase shift naturally emerges.

description: The poor prognosis and fewer treatment option is a current clinical challenge for patients with lung adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC). The previous studies reported that tumor mutational burden (TMB, numbers of mutation per Megabase) is a predictor of clinical response in trials of multiple cancer types, while fewer studies assessed the relationship between TMB level and clinical features and outcomes of lung ASC. Herein, the present study enrolled Chinese patients with lung ASC. DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor samples and subjected to next generation sequencing (NGS), and the 457 cancer related genes were evaluated.

description: Motivated by the conclusions from various modelling studies, modifications to the bioenergy sector regulations are under way in Europe and in the USA to account for emissions from indirect land-use change (ILUC). Despite their influence on the policy-making, evaluations of the capacity of numerical models to estimate ILUC are sparse. To address this void, this paper reviews recent developments in land-use modelling, with a particular focus on the solutions adopted to estimate ILUC due to biofuel production. As indirect effects of bioenergy result from the interplay of various mechanisms, their modelling is a major challenge for land-use science. In recent years, numerical models have been significantly upgraded to provide a more comprehensive vision of the agricultural system. This has been performed by improving the representation of land supply and the biofuel production process in general equilibrium models (e.g., GTAP, MIRAGE, DART). At the same time, modelling systems coupling partial equilibrium models with CGE (e.g., KLUM@GTAP) or economic modules with spatially explicit models (e.g., MAgPIE, GLOBIOM, LEITAP), and modelling architecture combining land-use and life-cycle assessment models (e.g., FASOM/FAPRI/GREET) have been developed. In spite of these advances, some limitations remain and uncertainties are still numerous.
The Rise of Turkey and the New Mediterranean Challenges and Opportunities for Energy Cooperation in a Region in Transition

description: This paper, presenting a wide range of issues related to the role of Turkey in the Mediterranean energy context, aims to provide a comprehensive framework of understanding of the growing strategic relevance of Turkey for both the European Union and the overall Euro-Mediterranean region. In particular, the paper focuses on the EU-Turkey energy relations and outlines the crucial role of natural gas in enhancing energy cooperation between the two players. In 2010 about 80% of EU gas imports derived from only three suppliers: Russian Federation, Norway and Algeria. This heavy dependence on such a few suppliers stimulated the European Commission to make the concept of diversification a cornerstone of its energy policy and to launch the concept of the Southern Gas Corridor, an initiative aimed to develop a natural gas transit corridor from Caspian and Middle Eastern gas-rich regions to Europe, in order to ease the dependency on the natural gas imported from the Russian Federation. An initiative that could shift the "centre of gravity" of the regional gas transit from the north to the south of the Black Sea, allowing Turkey to become a key transit country in the future European gas market; a pivotal element in the European gas security of supply architecture. Furthermore, the paper also considers the enormous renewable energy potential of Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Countries, to which Turkey could greatly contribute in terms of technology transfer and manufacturing know-how. Turkey’s involvement in the Union for the Mediterranean offers a great opportunity for energy cooperation both between the EU and Turkey and within the overall Euro-Mediterranean region. Such large-scale renewable energy projects could greatly contribute to the economic development of the overall Mediterranean region, and also to its social and political stability. Considering the lack of a wide and comprehensive EU-Turkey energy cooperation scheme, the paper proposes a series of policy priorities pointed to enhance this bilateral relationship and also the wider Euro-Mediterranean integration process.

description: We propose a Bayesian inference approach for static Origin-Destination (OD)-estimation in large-scale networked transit systems. The approach finds posterior distribution estimates of the OD-coefficients, which describe the relative proportions of passengers travelling between origin and destination locations, via a Hamiltonian Monte Carlo sampling procedure. We suggest two different inference model formulations: the instantaneous-balance and average-delay model. We discuss both models' sensitivity to various count observation properties, and establish that the average-delay model is generally more robust in determining the coefficient posteriors. The instantaneous-balance model, however, requires lower resolution count observations and produces comparably accurate estimates as the average-delay model, pending that count observations are only moderately interfered by trend fluctuations or the truncation of the observation window, and sufficient number of dispersed data records are available. We demonstrate that the Bayesian posterior distribution estimates provide quantifiable measures of the estimation uncertainty and prediction quality of the model, whereas the point estimates obtained from an alternative constrained quadratic programming optimisation approach only provide the residual errors between the predictions and observations. Moreover, the Bayesian approach proves more robust in scaling to high-dimensional underdetermined problems. The Bayesian instantaneous-balance OD-coefficient posteriors are determined for the New York City (NYC) subway network, based on several years of entry and exit count observations recorded at station turnstiles across the network. The average-delay model proves intractable on the real-world test scenario, given its computational time complexity and the incompleteness as well as coarseness of the turnstile records.

description: Hochautomatisiertes Fahren und autonome Fahrzeuge stehen seit einigen Jahren im Fokus der Forschung von Automobilherstellern, Zulieferern aber auch IT-Unternehmen sowie Forschungseinrichtungen. Selbstfahrende Fahrzeuge nehmen ihre Umgebung mittels Sensoren wahr und führen Fahraktionen aus, um ihr Ziel sicher und effizient zu erreichen. Dabei wird häufig ein Modell der Verkehrssituation erstellt, das sowohl aktuelle Sensordaten als auch Hintergrundwissen wie Kartendaten zusammenführt. Darauf aufbauend können dann Fahrmanöver geplant werden, die von der Aktorik des Fahrzeugs ausgeführt werden. In den letzten Jahren wurden große Fortschritte auf dem Gebiet des hochautomatisierten Fahrens erzielt. Herausforderungen, die sich dabei gezeigt haben, sind das automatisierte Verstehen von komplexen Verkehrssituationen und darauf aufbauend die Generierung von optimalen Fahrstrategien. Automatisierte Fahrzeuge müssen gerade im innerstädtischen Bereich mit einer Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Straßentopologien zurechtkommen. Situationsabhängige Speziallösungen stoßen dabei an ihre Grenzen. Hinzu kommt die durch dynamische Verkehrsteilnehmer induzierte kombinatorische Komplexität im Planungsprozess. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die aktive und passive Unterstützung des Fahrers sowie die Bereitstellung von abstrakten Fahrmanöversequenzen für automatisiertes Fahren. Wissenschaftliche Beiträge sind dabei - eine Abstraktion der Verkehrssituation durch eine relationale, semantische Szenenrepräsentation sowie darauf aufbauend - Methoden zur effizienten Planung und dynamischen Validierung von Fahrmanöversequenzen. Durch eine relationale Modellierung kann der Planungsraum für Fahrmanöver an semantischen Grenzen diskretisiert werden. Dies erlaubt eine einheitliche und durch die Reduktion des Raums effiziente Planung. Die Rückführung der semantischen Pläne in eine geometrische Darstellung ermöglicht die dynamische Validierung und Optimierung resultierender Pläne hinsichtlich Energieeffizienz und Komfort. Hinweise zur optimalen Fahrweise werden als Teil einer Assistenzfunktion dem Fahrer kommuniziert oder für die Trajektorienplanung automatisierter Fahrzeuge zur Verfügung gestellt. Die Verfahren werden sowohl auf synthetischen Daten als auch im realen Fahrversuch evaluiert.

description: Provides some background on concerns about the sustainability of agriculture, outlines and discusses views about what constitutes sustainable agriculture and contrasts the sustainability of modern industrialised agriculture with that of traditional agriculture. Then the question is considered (taking into account the available evidence) whether organic agriculture is more sustainable than non-organic agriculture. Barriers to switching from non-organic to organic agriculture are mentioned. The development of agriculture usually has a serious negative impact on wild biodiversity. Whether or not more intensive agriculture would reduce the negative ecological footprint is unclear but many scientists believe it will do this. Globally, there has been a rapid expansion in the area planted with GM crops. Reasons are given why yields and returns from these crops may not be sustained, and why they may result in genetic losses liable to jeopardise sustainable development. Nevertheless, agriculturalists may still have an incentive to adopt unsustainable agroecosystems for reasons outlined. While genetic losses may be a threat to the long-term sustainability of agriculture, increasing scarcity of natural resources used in agriculture, such as water, and climate change may be more immediate challenges to the sustainability of agricultural production.

Supportive interactions in the noisy voter model

description: Latane social impact theory predicts recruitment and supportive interactions being responsible for opinion formation. So far only recruitment interactions were considered in the voter models. Here we consider a noisy voter model with supportive interactions, which make voters less likely to change their opinions. This is similar to the voter models with freezing, but instead of interacting with their past selves voters get the support from their peers. We examine two different ways in which the support could be implemented: support deterring imitation as well as independence, support deterring imitation only. Both assumptions introduce strong drift into the model, which almost always overcomes the diffusion caused by the imitative behavior. The first assumption introduces strong attraction to a full consensus state, unless the support becomes too strong. The latter assumption promotes partial consensus, with surviving minority group.

description: In a recent investigation of chiral behavior in quenched lattice QCD, the flavor-singlet pseudoscalar ``hairpin'' vertex associated with the eta prime mass was studied for pion masses ranging from approximately 275 to 675 MeV. Throughout this mass range, the quark-disconnected pseudoscalar correlator is well-described by a pure double-pion-pole diagram with a p^2 independent mass insertion. The residue of the double pole was found to exhibit a significant quark mass dependence, evidenced by a negative slope of the effective mass insertion (m_0^{eff})^2 as a function of m_π^2. It has been observed by Sharpe that, with a consistent NLO calculation in quenched chiral perturbation theory, this mass dependence is uniquely predicted in terms of the single-pole coefficient α_Φ and the Leutwyler parameter L_5. Since α_Φ is found to be approximately zero, the chiral slope of the double-pole residue determines a value for L_5. This provides a consistency check between the chiral slope of the hairpin mass insertion and that of the pion decay constant. We investigate the consistency of these mass dependences in our Monte Carlo results at two values of lattice spacing. Within statistics, the slopes are found to be consistent with the Q\chiPT prediction, confirming that the observed negative slope of m_0^{eff} arises as an effect of the L_5 Leutwyler term.

description: The importance of taking account of the total economic value of ecosystems is stressed and the possible reasons why the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (2005) emphasised the importance of ecosystem services for biodiversity conservation is discussed. It is suggested that the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment does not give enough attention to the disservices association with some ecosystems nor to the comparisons of the value of alternative ecosystems. Reasons why it is important to estimate the total economic value of ecosystems are outlined. It is argued that the economic valuation of ecosystems is of little value unless it compares the economic value of alternative ecosystems or forms of land use. Most published economic valuations of ecosystems fail to do this or only do it to a very limited extent. The cost of replacing ecosystem services if an ecosystem is lost is sometimes used to value its services. In most cases (but not all cases), this tends to over value the loss. This is illustrated using some simple graphs. There is also the further complication that if one type of ecosystem is replaced by another form of land or aquatic use, some ecosystem services may continue to be supplied, possibly in reduced quantities or qualities. In such cases, assuming that the pre-existing services are totally lost and need to be replaced completely overstates the economic value lost, or in other words, the value of retaining an existing ecosystem.

description: We analyze 24 type I X-ray bursts from GS 1826-24 observed by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer between 1997 November and 2002 July. The bursts observed between 1997-98 were consistent with a stable recurrence time of 5.74 +/- 0.13 hr. The persistent intensity of GS 1826-24 increased by 36% between 1997-2000, by which time the burst interval had decreased to 4.10 +/- 0.08 hr. In 2002 July the recurrence time was shorter again, at 3.56 +/- 0.03 hr. The bursts within each epoch had remarkably identical lightcurves over the full approx. 150 s burst duration; both the initial decay timescale from the peak, and the burst fluence, increased slightly with the rise in persistent flux. The decrease in the burst recurrence time was proportional to Mdot^(-1.05+/-0.02) (where Mdot is assumed to be linearly proportional to the X-ray flux), so that the ratio alpha between the integrated persistent and burst fluxes was inversely correlated with Mdot. The average value of alpha was 41.7 +/- 1.6. Both the alpha value, and the long burst durations indicate that the hydrogen is burning during the burst via the rapid-proton (rp) process. The variation in alpha with Mdot implies that hydrogen is burning stably between bursts, requiring solar metallicity (Z ~ 0.02) in the accreted layer. We show that solar metallicity ignition models naturally reproduce the observed burst energies, but do not match the observed variations in recurrence time and burst fluence. Low metallicity models (Z ~ 0.001) reproduce the observed trends in recurrence time and fluence, but are ruled out by the variation in alpha. We discuss possible explanations, including extra heating between bursts, or that the fraction of the neutron star covered by the accreted fuel increases with Mdot.

description: Despite renewed awareness of the importance of articulation, it remains a challenge for instructors to handle the pronunciation needs of language learners. There are relatively scarce pedagogical tools for pronunciation teaching and learning. Unlike inefficient, traditional pronunciation instructions like listening and repeating, electronic visual feedback (EVF) systems such as ultrasound technology have been employed in new approaches. Recently, an ultrasound-enhanced multimodal method has been developed for visualizing tongue movements of a language learner overlaid on the face-side of the speaker's head. That system was evaluated for several language courses via a blended learning paradigm at the university level. The result was asserted that visualizing the articulator's system as biofeedback to language learners will significantly improve articulation learning efficiency. In spite of the successful usage of multimodal techniques for pronunciation training, it still requires manual works and human manipulation. In this article, we aim to contribute to this growing body of research by addressing difficulties of the previous approaches by proposing a new comprehensive, automatic, real-time multimodal pronunciation training system, benefits from powerful artificial intelligence techniques. The main objective of this research was to combine the advantages of ultrasound technology, three-dimensional printing, and deep learning algorithms to enhance the performance of previous systems. Our preliminary pedagogical evaluation of the proposed system revealed a significant improvement in flexibility, control, robustness, and autonomy.

description: Thin (approximately 10 nm) oxide buffer layers grown over lead-halide perovskite device stacks are critical for protecting the perovskite against mechanical and environmental damage. However, the limited perovskite stability restricts the processing methods and temperatures (<=110 C) that can be used to deposit the oxide overlayers, with the latter limiting the electronic properties of the oxides achievable. In this work, we demonstrate an alternative to existing methods that can grow pinhole-free TiOx (x = 2.00+/-0.05) films with the requisite thickness in <1 min without vacuum. This technique is atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (AP-CVD). The rapid but soft deposition enables growth temperatures of >=180 °C to be used to coat the perovskite. This is >=70 °C higher than achievable by current methods and results in more conductive TiOx films, boosting solar cell efficiencies by >2%. Likewise, when AP-CVD SnOx (x ~ 2) is grown on perovskites, there is also minimal damage to the perovskite beneath. The SnOx layer is pinhole-free and conformal, which reduces shunting in devices, and increases steady-state efficiencies from 16.5% (no SnOx) to 19.4% (60 nm SnOx), with fill factors reaching 84%. This work shows AP-CVD to be a versatile technique for growing oxides on thermally-sensitive materials.

description: A lattice model of 3He - 4He mixtures which takes into account the continuous rotational symmetry O(2) of the superfluid degrees of freedom of 4He is studied in the molecular-field approximation and by Monte Carlo simulations in three dimensions. In contrast to its two-dimensional version, for reasonable values of the interaction parameters the resulting phase diagram resembles that observed experimentally for 3He - 4He mixtures, for which phase separation occurs as a consequence of the superfluid transition. The corresponding continuum Ginzburg-Landau model with two order parameters describing 3He- 4He mixtures near tricriticality is derived from the considered lattice model. All coupling constants appearing in the continuum model are explicitly expressed in terms of the mean concentration of 4He, the temperature, and the microscopic interaction parameters characterizing the lattice system.

description: We describe a general purpose method to reconstruct the intrinsic properties of sources lensed by the gravitational potential of foreground clusters of galaxies. The tool Lenstruction is implemented in the publicly available multi-purpose gravitational lensing software Lenstronomy, in order to provide an easy and fast solution to this common astrophysical problem. The tool is based on forward modeling the appearance of the source in the image plane, taking into account the distortion by lensing and the instrumental point spread function (PSF). For singly-imaged sources a global lens model in the format of the Hubble Frontier Fields (HFF) lensing maps is required as a starting point. For multiply-imaged sources, the tool can also fit and apply first (deflection), second (shear, convergence), and third order (flexion) corrections to the local gravitational potential to improve the reconstruction, depending on the quality of the data. We illustrate the performance and features of the code with two examples of multiply-imaged systems taken from the Hubble Frontier Fields, starting from five different publicly available cluster models. We find that, after our correction, the relative magnification - and other lensing properties - between the multiple images become robustly constrained. Furthermore, we find that scatter between models of the reconstructed source size and magnitude is reduced. The code and jupyter notebooks are publicly available.

description: The U.S. fresh winter tomato industry and Mexican tomato production have been engaged in a trade conflict since the early1970s. Given that tomato is the highest valued fresh vegetable item, the fresh tomato market in the U.S. is open for rent seeking actions of importers and domestic producers. While importers try to increase their shares by lowering the prices, domestic producers attempt to keep tomato as a high-valued item and at the same time avoid any costly investment in production practices (such as greenhouse production). However, the competition with Mexican greenhouse tomato producers push winter tomato producers (particularly, in Florida) to search for new investment opportunities. This paper utilizes net present value and real option analysis to investigate whether it is beneficial for Florida tomato producers to invest in greenhouse production methods to stay competitive in the tomato market during the winter season.

description: The measurements of the angular power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy has proved crucial to the emergence of cosmology as a precision science in recent years. In this remarkable data rich period, the limitations to precision now arise from the the inability to account for finer systematic effects in data analysis. The non-circularity of the experimental beam has become progressively important as CMB experiments strive to attain higher angular resolution and sensitivity. We present an analytic framework for studying the leading order effects of a non-circular beam on the CMB power spectrum estimation. We consider a non-circular beam of fixed shape but variable orientation. We compute the bias in the pseudo-$C_l$ power spectrum estimator and then construct an unbiased estimator using the bias matrix. The covariance matrix of the unbiased estimator is computed for smooth, non-circular beams. Quantitative results are shown for CMB maps made by a \emph{hypothetical} experiment with a non-circular beam comparable to our fits to the WMAP beam maps described in the appendix and uses a \emph{toy} scan strategy. We find that significant effects on CMB power spectrum can arise due to non-circular beam on multipoles comparable to, and beyond, the inverse average beam-width where the pseudo-$C_l$ approach may be the method of choice due to computational limitations of analyzing the large datasets from current and near future CMB experiments.
