Microdata Information System MISSY
Creators: name: Janssen, Andrea

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2006

description: The MISSY provides online information for the German Microcensus in a structured design. The Microcensus is a multipurpose annual sample which covers 1 percent of the German households. It is produced by the Federal Statistical Office. Though the Microcensus was originally not designed for research, it is accessible as scientific use files. Because it is of great value for the scientific community, there is a need for knowledge transfer from the federal office to the scientific community. MISSY offers the metadata both in a broad and differentiated way. MISSY takes different aspects of data documentation into account: The central part of the sample and data description are based on DDI (Data Documentation Initiative). Furthermore, additional information concerning methodical and scientific subjects are integrated to improve the usability of the Microcensus. Another aspect is related to the organization of information: related metadata in MISSY is linked in multiple ways, guided by different views on the subject. In addition, different possibilities for access facilitate the search of information and consider different needs and skills of scientists. The presentation will introduce the structure of MISSY.

description: Economic experiments have traditionally been conducted in laboratory settings. Since experimental conditions can be easily controlled and manipulated in the lab, high internal validity can be achieved. The external validity of lab experiments, however, is often poor due to the highly stylized environment. Hence, in recent years, researchers have increasingly left the lab and used the Internet to run economic experiments. In this paper, we aim to systematize economic experiments and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of online approaches. In particular, we focus on the question of how experiments can be used for policy analysis in the agricultural sector. Our core findings are as follows: first, the costs of online experiments are considerably lower than those of traditional lab experiments. This applies to the direct costs of experimenters as well as to the opportunity costs of experimental subjects. Second, experimenters, who always struggle with limited budgets, can exploit the cost advantage of online approaches and take various measures to increase external validity. Spare funds can be used to recruit more participants and/or to grant higher performance-related payoffs. In conjunction with participants’ reduced opportunity costs, they will also make it easier to recruit representatives of the social group of interest (e.g., farmers), instead of using convenience groups of students as surrogate experimental subjects. A high-numbered experimental testing of the real behavior of real decision makers who face relevant real payoffs has a good chance to increase the quality of conditional behavioral forecasting. This, in turn, is the prerequisite of reliable policy analysis. Third, decisions in online experiments are made in the familiar setting of people’s home offices. The situational context is thus much more similar to decision making in regular life than a lab setting. While being beneficial for external validity, using the home setting also entails a disadvantage. It reduces internal validity because the extra-laboratory decision environment cannot be well controlled. Experimenters cannot observe, for example, which sources of information, tools, time, and effort participants use to arrive at experimental decisions.

description: We study an isolated, perfectly reflecting, mirror illuminated by an intense laser pulse. We show that the resulting radiation pressure efficiently entangles a mirror vibrational mode with the two reflected optical sideband modes of the incident carrier beam. The entanglement of the resulting three-mode state is studied in detail and it is shown to be robust against the mirror mode temperature. We then show how this continuous variable entanglement can be profitably used to teleport an unknown quantum state of an optical mode onto the vibrational mode of the mirror.

Non-Markovian dephasing of disordered, quasi-one-dimensional fermion systems

description: As a potential window on transitions out of the ergodic, many-body-delocalized phase, we study the dephasing of weakly disordered, quasi-one-dimensional fermion systems due to a diffusive, non-Markovian noise bath. Such a bath is self-generated by the fermions, via inelastic scattering mediated by short-ranged interactions. We calculate the dephasing of weak localization perturbatively through second order in the bath coupling. However, the expansion breaks down at long times, and is not stabilized by including a mean-field decay rate, signaling a failure of the self-consistent Born approximation. We also consider a many-channel quantum wire where short-ranged, spin-exchange interactions coexist with screened Coulomb interactions. We calculate the dephasing rate, treating the short-ranged interactions perturbatively and the Coulomb interaction exactly. The latter provides a physical infrared regularization that stabilizes perturbation theory at long times, giving the first controlled calculation of quasi-1D dephasing due to diffusive noise. At first order in the diffusive bath coupling, we find an enhancement of the dephasing rate, but at second order we find a rephasing contribution. Our results differ qualitatively from those obtained via self-consistent calculations and are relevant in two different contexts. First, in the search for precursors to many-body localization in the ergodic phase. Second, our results provide a mechanism for the enhancement of dephasing at low temperatures in spin SU(2)-symmetric quantum wires, beyond the Altshuler-Aronov-Khmelnitsky result. The enhancement is possible due to the amplification of the triplet-channel interaction strength, and provides an additional mechanism that could contribute to the experimentally observed low-temperature saturation of the dephasing time.

description: We explore trust in a relatively new area of data science: Automated Machine Learning (AutoML). In AutoML, AI methods are used to generate and optimize machine learning models by automatically engineering features, selecting models, and optimizing hyperparameters. In this paper, we seek to understand what kinds of information influence data scientists' trust in the models produced by AutoML? We operationalize trust as a willingness to deploy a model produced using automated methods. We report results from three studies -- qualitative interviews, a controlled experiment, and a card-sorting task -- to understand the information needs of data scientists for establishing trust in AutoML systems. We find that including transparency features in an AutoML tool increased user trust and understandability in the tool; and out of all proposed features, model performance metrics and visualizations are the most important information to data scientists when establishing their trust with an AutoML tool.

description: The standard cosmological model determined from the accurate cosmic microwave background measurements made by the Planck satellite implies a value of the Hubble constant $H_0$ that is $4.2$ standard deviations lower than the one determined from Type Ia supernovae. The Planck best fit model also predicts higher values of the matter density fraction $Ω_m$ and clustering amplitude $S_8$ compared to those obtained from the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 data. Here we show that accounting for the enhanced recombination rate due to additional small-scale inhomogeneities in the baryon density may solve both the $H_0$ and the $S_8-Ω_m$ tensions. The additional baryon inhomogeneities can be induced by primordial magnetic fields present in the plasma prior to recombination. The required field strength to solve the Hubble tension is just what is needed to explain the existence of galactic, cluster, and extragalactic magnetic fields without relying on dynamo amplification. Our results show clear evidence for this effect and motivate further detailed studies of primordial magnetic fields, setting several well-defined targets for future observations.

What the Grindal apparitional experience may mean for future anomalistic psychological research: a very brief commentary
Creators: name: Edmonds, Noah

description: This evening I found a note that I had made to myself dated November 25th, 2019, remarking on the reported experiences of noted anthropologist Bruce Grindal concerning a ritual of death divination that he witnessed where the corpse of a recently deceased individual become animate, joined those involved in a macabre and wild ancestral dance and performed upon drums. What is fascinating about this account is that Grindal experienced it despite not holding to any preconceived supernatural beliefs, was able to corroborate what he witnessed with several other individuals, and came to a quasi-novel interpretation of what exactly it was that he experienced, in addition to the concept of objectivity in relation to altered mind states and transcendent experiences. This essay analyzes Grindal’s experience and his subsequent interpretation of its nature in the light of anomalistic psychological frameworks.

description: The present study concerns the impact of knowledge capital on total factor productivity (TFP) changes in 27 European Union (EU) countries. The TFP analysis covered the years 2009-2013. The study conducted was based on a Malmquist productivity index. The knowledge capital was approximated through investments in research and development in the years 2000 and 2008. Furthermore, the study included external benefits resulting from the R&D activities in other countries. In addition to the knowledge capital, the variables approximating human capital were accepted as determinants of TFP, i.e., the percentage of farm managers with full agricultural training and the percentage of farms managed by holders aged 55. The impact of knowledge and human capital on TFP was determined using a linear regression model. The results of the study indicate that the R&D expenditures incurred in the year 2000 are the stimulants of productivity growth, which confirms the assumption that there is a time lag between R&D and its benefits. Moreover, a positive effect on TFP growth was observed for the variable approximating human capital, i.e., the participation of farmers over the age of 55.

description: Der Ausbau der Silomaisproduktion hat in den letzten Jahren eine dynamische Entwicklung erlebt. Dies geschah vor dem Hintergrund kontinuierlich abnehmender Rinderbestände und einem rasanten Anstieg der Biogasproduktion. Angaben zum tatsächlichen Anbauumfang von Silomais für die Biogaserzeugung in Deutschland divergieren auf Grund unterschied¬licher Berechnungsmethoden zwischen 500 000 ha und 1 800 000 ha für das Jahr 2010. Auf Basis der im Rahmen dieser Studie entwickelten räumlich-ökonometrischen Schätzmodelle kann eine Abschätzung des Einsatzes von Silomais in der Biogasproduktion und Milchvieh- und Rinderhaltung am Beispiel des Bundeslandes Bayern gegeben werden. So beträgt der geschätzte durchschnittliche Anteil von Silomais an der landwirtschaftlichen Nutzfläche in Bayern 4,5 % für die Biogasproduktion und für die Milch- und Rindviehhaltung durchschnittlich 7,2 %. Für energetische Zwecke werden schätzungsweise im Mittel ca. 40 % der Gesamtproduktion von Silomais eingesetzt. Die Ergebnisse der Studie erlauben zudem eine räumlich differenzierte Sicht der energetischen Silomaisnutzung in der Biogasproduktion.

Im vorliegenden Artikel wird das Verbraucherverständnis der Produktbezeichnungen Alpenmilch und Weidemilch auf Basis zweier empirischer Studien analysiert. Beide Produktbezeichnungen sind derzeit rechtlich ungeschützte Begriffe. Daher setzen Hersteller die Kennzeichnungen auf der Verpackung in der Praxis sehr unterschiedlich um. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird empirisch analysiert, was Verbraucher unter Alpen- und Weidemilch verstehen. Gehen sie davon aus, dass Kühe bei Alpenmilch in einem bestimmten geografischen Gebiet gehalten werden? Und bedeutet Weidemilch für sie, dass die Milchkühe Auslauf auf der Weide haben und wenn ja, über welchen Zeitraum? Die Ergebnisse der Fallstudien zeigen auf, dass das Verbraucherverständnis bei Produkten, die mit nicht beobachtbaren Prozesseigenschaften beworben werden, sehr weitreichend ist und so (Ent-)Täuschungspotenzial entstehen kann.

description: Traditional classifications of crystalline phases focus on nuclear degrees of freedom. Through examination of both electronic and nuclear structure, we introduce the concept of an electronic plastic crystal. Such a material is classified by crystalline nuclear structure, while localized electronic degrees of freedom - here lone pairs - exhibit orientational motion at finite temperatures. This orientational motion is an emergent phenomenon arising from the coupling between electronic structure and polarization fluctuations generated by collective motions, such as phonons. Using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we predict the existence of electronic plastic crystal motion in halogen crystals and halide perovskites, and suggest that such motion may be found in a broad range of solids with lone pair electrons. Such fluctuations in the charge density should be observable, in principle via synchrotron scattering.

description: The agribusiness is in flux: how will the population of firms develop, and which consequences will arise for competition? In 1931, GIBRAT stated the firm size and growth rate to be independent. Testing the validity of Gibrat’s Law for the agribusiness allows drawing conclusions on future developments of concentration. After the examination of 454 manufacturing downstream enterprises in Germany, we reject Gibrat’s Law and find small firms to grow stronger than bigger firms in relation to their initial size. Our results emphasize the application of Gibrat’s Law to subsectors and size classes as well as to the agribusiness as a whole.

description: In urban centres we rely on our built environment to support infrastructure like storm water management, transportation, energy distribution and waste removal to facilitate day to day life. Although the development of this infrastructure is necessary to allow urban centres to function, these built interventions create fragmented gaps in our urban landscape and it results in a ruptured relationship between urbanism and nature. In Toronto, we can specifically uncover this disconnection in exploring the Garrison Creek and its current hidden ravine landscape.

description: The model of Dvali, Gabadadze, and Porrati (DGP) gives a simple geometrical setup in which gravity becomes 5-dimensional at distances larger than a length scale λ_{DGP}. We show that this theory has strong interactions at a length scale λ_3 ~ (λ_{DGP}^2 / M_P)^{1/3}. If λ_{DGP} is of order the Hubble length, then the theory loses predictivity at distances shorter than λ_3 ~ 1000 km. The strong interaction can be viewed as arising from a longitudinal `eaten Goldstone' mode that gets a small kinetic term only from mixing with transverse graviton polarizations, analogous to the case of massive gravity. We also present a negative-energy classical solution, which can be avoided by cutting off the theory at the same scale scale λ_3. Finally, we examine the dynamics of the longitudinal Goldstone mode when the background geometry is curved.

description: A new model about cascading occurrences caused by perturbation is established to search after the mechanism because of which catastrophes in networks occur. We investigate the avalanche dynamics of our model on 2-dimension Euclidean lattices and scale-free networks and find out the avalanche dynamic behaviors is very sensitive to the topological structure of networks. The experiments show that the catastrophes occur much more frequently in scale-free networks than in Euclidean lattices and the greatest catastrophe in scale-free networks is much more serious than that in Euclidean lattices. Further more, we have studied how to reduce the catastrophes' degree, and have schemed out an effective strategy, called targeted safeguard-strategy for scale-free networks.

description: CFD has emerged as a promising diagnostic tool for clinical trials, with tremendous potential. However, for real clinical applications to be useful, overall statistical findings from large population samples (e.g., multiple cases and models) are needed. Fully resolved solutions are not a priority, but rather rapid solutions with fast turn-around times are desired. This leads to the issue of what are the minimum modelling criteria for achieving adequate accuracy in respiratory flows for large-scale clinical applications, with a view to rapid turnaround times. This study simulated a highly-resolved solution using the large eddy simulation (LES) method as a reference case for comparison with lower resolution models that included larger time steps and no turbulence modelling. Differences in solutions were quantified by pressure loss, flow resistance, unsteadiness, turbulence intensity, and hysteresis effects from multiple cycles. The results demonstrated that sufficient accuracy could be achieved with lower resolution models if the mean flow was considered. Furthermore, to achieve an established transient result unaffected by the initial start-up quiescent effects, the results need to be taken from at least the second respiration cycle. It was also found that the exhalation phase exhibited strong turbulence. The results are expected to provide guidance for future modelling efforts for clinical and engineering applications requiring large numbers of cases using simplified modelling approaches.

Considering the reversibility, irreversibility and uncertainty in the context of costs and benefits of introducing herbicide-resistance rapeseeds (HR), we determine the maximum incremental social tolerable irreversible costs (MISTICs) of this technology for Germany. Results indicate that banning HR genetically modified rapeseeds is only appropriate if German society values the possible total accumulated irreversible costs (from its introduction until infinity) of this technology as at least € 1.105 billion or € 13.8 per citizen.

Amended description of aedeagus (Figs. 3d–3f). Aedeagus membranous, medially with a constriction in dorsal and ventral aspects, posterior to the constriction is a global bald membrane which extends dorsally in a tubular apex (Fig. 3f); sac is membranous, lacking any sclerites, mostly covered with dense minute spines or wrinkles but the apex with dorsal, ventral and lateral armatures of larger spines (Figs. 3d, 3e); the dorsal and lateral spines forming a C-shaped band, distal of the band is a small projecting membranous lobe forming the extreme of the sac (Fig. 4f).
Female. Only known from the original description and illustration of type series.
Egg and larva. Unknown.
Examined material. Neotype, 1 male (IZCAS), China: Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou City, Hushan park, ca. 30.36 N, 120.20 E, 859m, 1957.VI.30, leg. unknown. Addtional material: 1 male (IZCAS), China: Fujian Province, Wuyishan, Jiuqu stream, 750m, 27.6404 N, 117.9348 E, 1990.V.30, leg. Morse et al.
Distribution. Southeastern China (Fujian, Zhejiang provinces).
Remarks. The neotype male was collected in Hushan Park, about twenty km to the Middle Tien-tsu Temple, the holotype locality in Hangzhou City at summer, around the date of holotype (July 7, 1928). We also present new illustrations of head, tergal characters (Figs. 3a–3c) for an easier identication of this species. These two males (Figs. 2a, 2b) are identical with the types in “dark habitus, lighter pigmentation of costal margins of wings, and spineless tergum 8, especially the leg coloration: proximal portion of femur and sometimes the middle portion of tibia yellowish, the rest of leg being black” in the original description of Chu (1929).
Kamimuria simplex was recently redescribed by Huo et al. (2022) based on recently collected adults of both genders from Fujian Province, but those specimens of have evenly dark legs and sensilla basiconica patches present on posterior tergum 8, which are different from the type series. Huo’s specimens may refer to K. circumspina which is also distributed in Fujian.

In this paper, we provide a review of over 100 cardiac image segmentation papers using deep learning, which covers common imaging modalities including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound (US) and major anatomical structures of interest (ventricles, atria and vessels). In addition, a summary of publicly available cardiac image datasets and code repositories are included to provide a base for encouraging reproducible research. Finally, we discuss the challenges and limitations with current deep learning-based approaches (scarcity of labels, model generalizability across different domains, interpretability) and suggest potential directions for future research.

Poisson geometrical symmetries associated to non-commutative formal diffeomorphisms

description: Let G be the group of all formal power series starting with x with coefficients in a field k of zero characteristic (with the composition product), and let F[G] be its function algebra. C. Brouder and A. Frabetti introduced a non-commutative, non-cocommutative graded Hopf algebra H, via a direct process of ``disabelianisation'' of F[G], i.e. taking the like presentation of the latter as an algebra but dropping the commutativity constraint. In this paper we apply a general method to provide four one-parameters deformations of H, which are quantum groups whose semiclassical limits are Poisson geometrical symmetries such as Poisson groups or Lie bialgebras, namely two quantum function algebras and two quantum universal enveloping algebras. In particular the two Poisson groups are extensions of G, isomorphic as proalgebraic Poisson varieties but not as proalgebraic groups. This analysis easily extends to a hudge family of Hopf algebras of similar nature, thus yielding a method to associate to such "generalized symmetries" some classical geometrical symmetries (such as Poisson groups and Lie bialgebras) in a natural way: the present case then stands as a simplest, toy model for the general situation.

Association of Religion Data Archives
Creators: name: Grim, Brian J.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2006

description: Religion's prominence in national and international affairs makes the availability of empirical measures on religion a pressing concern for researchers, policymakers, and data archivists. Unfortunately, good international religious data are scarce. This paper describes the expanded mission of the Association of Religion Data Archives ( www.TheARDA.com) to archive and develop data on religion worldwide. The ARDA archives data on 238 different countries and territories including ARDA-coded measures from the US State Department's annual International Religious Freedom Reports. The data also include social scientific surveys such as the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP). Country-specific data will also be archived, e.g., ABC poll data from Afghanistan. Finally, this paper describes the way the ARDA "democratizes" accesses to these freely downloadable data by making them available with online analysis options. (The ARDA was formerly the American Religion Data Archive and continues to support an extensive American collection with numerous mapping and report features.)

description: Combining the technologies of quantum optics and magnonics, we find that the circularly polarized laser can dynamically realize the quasiequilibrium magnon Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC). The Zeeman coupling between the laser and spins generates the optical Barnett field, and its direction is controllable by switching the laser chirality. We show that the optical Barnett field develops the total magnetization in insulating ferrimagnets with reversing the local magnetization, which leads to the quasiequilibrium magnon BEC. This laser-induced magnon BEC transition through optical Barnett effect, dubbed the optomagnonic Barnett effect, provides an access to coherent magnons in the high frequency regime of the order of terahertz. We also propose a realistic experimental setup to observe the optomagnonic Barnett effect using current device and measurement technologies as well as the laser chirping. The optomagnonic Barnett effect is a key ingredient for the application to ultrafast spin transport.

description: We describe a simple procedure for optimising the growth condition for high quality single crystals of the strontium ruthenate perovskites using an image furnace. The procedure involves carefully measuring the mass lost during crystal growth in order to predict the optimal initial atomic ratio. Using this approach we have succeeded in growing crystals of Sr3Ru2O7 with a residual resistivity as low as 0.25 ??cm. The procedure we describe here is expected to be useful for other systems when a standard travelling-solvent floating-zone (TSFZ) method cannot be used because of high volatility of a constituent material.

Reconstruction of traffic speed distributions from kinetic models with uncertainties

description: In this work we investigate the ability of a kinetic approach for traffic dynamics to predict speed distributions obtained through rough data. The present approach adopts the formalism of uncertainty quantification, since reaction strengths are uncertain and linked to different types of driver behaviour or different classes of vehicles present in the flow. Therefore, the calibration of the expected speed distribution has to face the reconstruction of the distribution of the uncertainty. We adopt experimental microscopic measurements recorded on a German motorway, whose speed distribution shows a multimodal trend. The calibration is performed by extrapolating the uncertainty parameters of the kinetic distribution via a constrained optimisation approach. The results confirm the validity of the theoretical set-up.

description: Morphological instability of the solid-liquid interface occuring in a crystal growing from an undercooled thin liquid being bounded on one side by a free surface and flowing down inclined plane is investigated by a linear stability analysis under shear flow. It is found that restoring forces due to gravity and surface tension is important factor for stabilization of the solid-liquid interface on long length scales. This is a new stabilizing effect different from the Gibbs-Thomson effect. A particular long wavelength mode of about 1 cm of wavy pattern observed on the surface of icicles covered with thin layer of flowing water is obtained from the dispersion relation including the effect of flow and restoring forces.

Quantum deSitter cosmology and phantom matter

description: We consider deSitter universe and Nariai universe induced by quantum CFT with classical phantom matter and perfect fluid. The model represents the combination of trace-anomaly driven inflation and phantom driven deSitter universe. The similarity of phantom matter with quantum CFT indicates that phantom scalar may be the effective description for some quantum field theory. It is demonstrated that it is easier to achieve the acceleration of the scale factor preserving the energy conditions in such unified model. Some properties of unified theory (anti-gravitating solutions, negative ADM mass Nariai solution, relation with steady state) are briefly mentioned.

description: The implementation of a single magnon level quantum manipulation is one of the fundamental targets in quantum magnetism with a significant practical relevance for precision metrology, quantum information processing, and quantum simulation. Here, we demonstrate theoretically the feasibility of using a hybrid ferromagnet-superconductor quantum system to prepare a single magnon source based on magnon blockade effects. By numerically solving the quantum master equation, we show that the second-order correlation function of the magnon mode depends crucially on the relation between the qubit-magnon coupling strength and the driving detuning, and simultaneously signatures of the magnon blockade appear only under quite stringent conditions of a cryogenic temperature. In addition to providing perception into the quantum phenomena of magnon, the study of magnon blockade effects will help to develop novel technologies for exploring the undiscovered magnon traits at the quantum level and may find applications in designing single magnon emitters.
Let's Qualify What is Quantified: The Language of Change - Teachers and Their Expressions of Change in Six Countries
Creators: name: Arato, Nora
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2006

description: The research results explore teachers' language(s) about change that has impacted their work lives in six countries (Australia, Hungary, Israel, Netherlands, South Africa, USA). This study succeeds and is built on a large-scale cross-cultural and comparative study of teachers' perceptions of educational change (New Realities of Secondary Teachers' Work Lives, eds. Poppleton, P. Williamson, J, 2004, Oxford, UK: Symposium Books). We further analyze and compare the responses teachers gave to a semi-structured interview including an open-ended questionnaire about political, economic, administrative, and curricular changes in their work-lives. Guidelines developed by cognitive linguists are utilized in order to compare (1) how teachers describe educational change in six of the nine countries, (2) what teachers' language teaches us about the meaning of educational change in different countries, (3) what similarities and differences are used for concrete concepts describing teachers' work-lives, and (4) how the qualitative data complement and underscore the quantitative data.
