title: InscriptiFact -- an image database of inscriptions and artifacts

description: The InscriptiFact Collection is designed to allow access via the Internet to high-resolution images of ancient inscriptions and artifacts, primarily from the Near Eastern and Mediterranean Worlds. The targeted inscriptions constitute some of the world’s earliest written records, which are mostly housed in a number of international museums and libraries, as well as field projects where inscriptions still remain in situ. Included, for example, are, selected Dead Sea Scrolls; cuneiform tablets from Mesopotamia, Persia, Canaan and Egypt; early Jewish papyri from Egypt; lapidary inscriptions, primarily from Jordan, Lebanon and Cyprus; inscriptions on a variety of hard media (e.g., ostraca, copper, semi-precious stones, jar handles) mostly written in early Canaanite, Phoenician, Hebrew, Aramaic, Ammonite and Edomite; and much more. These ancient texts are foundational documents that serve as a point of reference for Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the cultures out of which they emerged. The name "InscriptiFact" is intended to convey the concept of a scholarly archive based on "facts" about "inscriptions" and "artifacts." West Semitic Research Project (WSRP) under the auspices of the University of Southern California (USC) is broadly acknowledged as a leader in the application of photographic and digital technologies to capture and analyze data of ancient texts. The West Semitic Research image archive now contains approximately 1,500,000 images. Important!

title: Application of in-situ X-Ray diffraction characterization to reveal the mechanisms of superconducting thin films growth on industrial substrates by ultrafast Transient Liquid Assisted Growth method

description: With the development of a new method of growing epitaxial superconducting thick films of YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO), Transient Liquid Assisted Growth (TLAG), came the possibility to fabricate High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) in an ultrafast and cost-effective manner, making them relevant for industrial applications. Nevertheless, the study of the mechanisms of this non-equilibrium process due to its fast kinetics is not possible by standard techniques and thus, requires more advanced approach. To obtain a deep understanding of the process, a close collaboration between ICMAB-CSIC and ALBA was established in the framework of the PTI+ TransEner project, co-founded by Next Generation EU funds. Within this collaboration, an experimental set-up was built allowing to study in-situ growth of superconducting films by TLAG at the NCD-SWEET. The key point of the setup is the combinatorial investigation of the TLAG process using synchrotron radiation and laboratory devices while growing superconducting epitaxial thin films. The setup consists of an X-ray transparent graphite dome of the customized hot stage, an accurate gas flow and pressure control, a mass spectrometer to monitor the gaseous products of the process and the possibility to measure the electrical conductivity of the sample throughout all the process. The installation allows to study the influence of the process parameters on epitaxial evolution, oxygen diffusion and growth rate on model substrates, such as strontium titanate (STO) and industrially relevant metallic tapes used for Coated Conductor´s fabrication in industry.

title: The DLA-RMR dataset: Annotated subset of RMR notebooks for CVC development

description: What’s new in this version: Some annotations were missing one of the visual attributes (orientation or writing implement). All missing attributes have been added in this version.<br>
<br>
This dataset is structured into four components, each serving a distinct role in the development of a document analysis system. 


 
 <strong>Word-level annotations</strong> are provided in the file <code>word_annotations_for_cropped_images.json</code>. These annotations describe the images contained in the <code>cropped_images</code> folder. Each entry specifies the location of a word as a polygon, together with its orientation (horizontal, vertical, or tilted) and the type of writing implement used (ink or pencil). Additional metadata, such as bounding boxes and segmentation areas, is also included.
 
 
 <strong>Cropped images</strong> are stored in the <code>cropped_images</code> folder. This set comprises 50 images, each containing only the primary page extracted from the corresponding full notebook scans.
 
 
 <strong>Full images</strong> are located in the <code>full_images</code> folder. This collection also contains 50 items, representing the complete notebook scans in which the primary page appears alongside other material.
 
 
 <strong>Page-level annotations</strong> are contained in the <code>page_annotations</code> folder. These are provided in YOLO format, with a single class (<code>page</code>) defined in <code>classes.txt</code>. Each annotation file specifies the bounding box of the primary page within the corresponding image in the <code>full_images</code> folder.
 


Examples illustrate the annotation structure. In the JSON file, a typical word annotation records polygon coordinates, the attribute <code>"orientation": "horizontal"</code>, and <code>"writing_tool": "pencil"</code>. In the YOLO annotations, a sample entry such as <code>0 0.499023 0.500776 0.777344 0.816912</code> denotes the normalised coordinates of the primary page bounding box.

title: Investigation of the nucleation and growth mechanism of gold nanoparticules at high temperature by in situ UV-vis spectroscopy and SAXS

description: Understanding the growth and stabilization mechanisms of gold nanoparticles is essential for developing more controlled synthetic routes. During synthesis, nanoparticle organization is influenced by the interaction between the reaction medium and stabilizing molecules. HEPES buffer has been used in gold nanoparticle synthesis due to its ability to act as both a reducing and stabilizing agent, promoting nucleation and preventing aggregate formation. However, the influence of HEPES at elevated temperatures, such as 40°C and 60°C, and its interaction with the nanoparticle growth process have not yet been fully elucidated. This behavior can be investigated using in situ techniques, such as UV-Vis and SAXS, allowing real-time monitoring of nanoparticle evolution throughout the reaction. A stabilization mechanism of gold nanoparticles in the presence of HEPES buffer has been hyphotised in which HEPES, acts both as a reducing agen as well as influences nanoparticle organization by interacting with their surface, regulating their stability and dispersion in the reaction medium. To investigate this hypothesis, previous UV-Vis and SAXS results will be complemented with new analyses. The objective is to monitor the formation of gold nanoparticles in the presence of HEPES buffer, evaluating its impact on the structural organization of the particles at different temperatures and reaction times. Additionally, the effect of 40, 50 and 60°C on stabilization dynamics and colloidal growth control will be explored, aiming to understand its role in nucleation and nanoparticle growth through time-resolved SAXS/WAXD analyses.

title: Testing of the FRACAS set-up
title: t21-02

description: The FRACAS experiment will aim to provide fragmentation cross sections of carbon beam for hadrontherapy purposes. It is designed on a large acceptance mass spectrometer for energies up to 400 MeV/n on targets of medical interest (H, C, O, N, Ca). Its detection elements such as the beam monitor, different up- and downward trackers as well as a Time-of-Flight wall must be tested prior to any cross section experiments. 

For now, only the beam monitor and the ToF wall are ready to be tested. The beam monitor consists of several parallel plate avalanche chambers in isobutane for timing and position measurements while the ToF wall consists of 75 scintillation detectors based on YAPCe crystals and photomultiplier tubes. The experiment was dedicated to the testing of these detectors.
