Four acoustic units (Units 1 to 4 in stratigraphic order) were differentiated, based on the characterization of their acoustic facies and reflection surfaces. Unit 1 is interpreted as a glacial till, whereas Units 2 to 4 accumulated by sediment settling from suspension clouds and bottom currents during the last deglaciation Figure 1: (A) Location map with the study area (red box) in the NW Barents Sea (bathymetry from IBCAO, Jakobsson et al., 2012).

Investigation of the external validity of the 2004 German Science Foundation author contribution calculation recommendation for medical schools’ performance-based funding systems Paul Donner* *donner@dzhw.eu ORCID: 0000-0001-5737-8483 Department 2 ‘Research System and Science Dynamics’, German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW), Germany This study examines how well an idiosyncratic authorship counting rule for co-authored publications recommended by the German Science Foundation (DFG) for medical schools and widely used in performance- based funding systems aligns with the empirical evidence. The DFG rule and two other co-author credit rules are compared with empirical data of percentage contribution statements of authors of co-authored papers in medicine. 1. Introduction For the past decades, bibliometrically informed performance-based funding systems (PBFS) have been established and became entrenched at medical schools in Germany. These systems are used to partially allocate shares of block funding from the federal states internally to subunits of a medical school. As there is no central evaluation authority, medical schools have been free to design and implement systems according to their own preferences for criteria, weights, rules, and so on, so that there is now considerable diversity of systems across schools. Practically all of them involve the counting of publications or impact factor points of publications in some way, alongside other criteria, with the intention of rewarding and encouraging internationally competitive academic research. In 2004 the Senate Commission for Clinical Research of the German Science Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG), the largest and most science-politically influential research funding organization in Germany, published a recommendation for the design of PBFS at German medical schools (DFG, 2004) which would prove quite consequential. In the following years, many medical schools adjusted their systems to align with the DFG recommendations and newly established systems also often followed them. The DFG made several recommendations, including the use of 3-year running averages for calculations, distributing 20–40 % of the block funding competitively, using obtained third- party funding and publications as criteria, discouraging criteria which in their opinion do not directly reflect a unit’s own research performance (completed PhDs and habilitations, patents, offices held, book chapters, editorships, and others). Concerning publications, the recommendations criticized the exclusive use of Journal Impact Factors (p. 14) and instead promoted the development of adequate methods to judge the scientific quality of individual publications. However, it left open the back door by allowing to use Impact Factors in a ‘surrogate manner’ in the ‘intervening time’ until such methods have been developed. Furthermore, with the stated intention to prevent excessive multiple counting of the same paper by several subunits by simply including more co-authors to manipulate such a procedure, it was recommended to count first authors with a weight of one third of the Impact Factor score, last authors also with one third, and to split the remaining third among all other ‘middle’ authors (p. 15). This somewhat idiosycratic rule was not justified by any reference to published | non_poster |

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most widely grown cereal globally and can be grown successfully in many different environments. In USA, it ranks fourth in crop production and first in crop export. Wheat suffers from many different diseases such as common bunt (CB) (Tilletia caries (D.C.) Tul. (=T. tritici) and T. foetida (Wallr.) Liro (=T. laevis)) which can be devastating to wheat yield. Kernels infected by this disease are usually rejected by millers as very low infection rates can result in noticeable odors in flour milled from CB-infected wheat. Fungicides can be used to control common bunt, but they are costly and can not be used in organic fields. In addition, common bunt pathogens has the ability to create fungicide-resistance races. Hence most wheat growers need common bunt resistant cultivars which are developed through breeding programs.

Optimal distillation protocols for GHZ NLB Talha Lateef email talha786@msn.com In quantum mechanics some spatially separated sub-systems behave as if they are part of a single system, the superposition of states of this single system cannot be written as products of states of individual sub-systems,we say that the state of such system is entangled, such systems give rise to non-local correlations between outcomes of measurements. The non-local correlations are conditional probability distributions of some measurement outcome(s) given some measurement setting(s) and cannot be explained by shared information[1, 2].These correlations can be studied using a non-local box(NLB) which can be viewed as a quantum system. A NLB is an abstract object which has number of inputs(measurement settings) and number of outputs(outcomes) such NLBs can be both quantum and super-quantum[3, 4]. The correlations are of use in quantum information theory, the stronger the correlations the more useful they are, hence we study protocols that have multiple weaker non-local systems, application of these protocols to weaker systems may result in stronger non-local correlations, we call such protocols non-locality distillation protocols[5, 6, 7]. Here we present protocols using NLB based on GHZ correlations[8]. 1 Tripartite box Before we study GHZ box it seems best to highlight some details of general tripartite box, as it is possible to get to a GHZ box from general tripartite framework. The tripartite structure under consideration has three parties, two measurement settings and two measurement outcomes which is denoted by the tuple (3, 2, 2). The measurement settings/inputs are x, y, z ∈{0, 1} and measurement outcomes/outputs are a, b, c ∈{1, −1}. The three parties are Alice with input x and output a, Bob with input y and output b and Charlie with input z and output c. The correlations are in the form of con- ditional probabilities P(abc|xyz), these correlations satisfy three constraints of positivity, normalization and no-signaling respectively: P(abc|xyz) ≥0 for all a, b, c, x, y, z X a,b,c P(abc|xyz) = 1 for all x, y, z and X a P(abc|xyz) = X a P(abc|x′yz) for all b, c, x, x′, y, z 1 | non_poster |
Discovery Studio LibDock Tutorial Molecular docking is to place the ligand molecule at the active site of the receptor, and then evaluate the interaction between the ligand and the receptor in real time according to the principles of geometric complementarity, energy complementation, and chemical environment complementation, and find the relationship between the two molecules and the best combination mode. Molecular docking considers the effect of ligand and receptor binding as a whole, and can better avoid the situation that other methods tend to have better local effects and poor overall binding. In drug design, the molecular docking method is mainly used to search for small molecules that have good affinity with the receptor biological macromolecules from the small molecule database, conduct pharmacological tests, and discover new lead compounds from it. Prepare molecular docking system and perform molecular docking calculation 1. Define the protein as the receptor molecule. In the Files Explorer, find and double-click to open the 1kim.pdb file.

Design and analysis of high-density SOA arrays on indium phosphide S.F.G. Reniers,1 W.P. Voorthuijzen,1,2 M.J.R. Heck1 and Y. Jiao1 1 Eindhoven University of Technology, De Groene Loper 19, 5612 AP Eindhoven, The Netherlands 2 SMART Photonics, HTC 29, 5656 AE Eindhoven, The Netherlands Applications such as optical switch matrices and optical phased arrays require many integrated components, e.g. semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). We present a novel solution for increasing the density of SOAs using the open-mask regrowth technique which can eliminate the loading effect and growth rate enhancement which are typically seen for large-area or high-density active blocks. We designed SOA arrays using the proposed technique on a generic indium phosphide platform. In parallel, a systematic approach towards enabling transfer printing of SOA arrays on a single coupon is introduced. Thermal simulations of SOA arrays on a substrate and coupon show that arrays with several SOAs on a single coupon are possible with minor thermal penalty. Finally, the experimental plan on a generic indium phosphide platform is presented. Introduction A monolithically integrated light amplification component is a key advantage of indium phosphide (InP) based photonic integration platforms. With the rapid developments of LiDAR and the ever-increasing bandwidth requirements for various applications, e.g. for optical switch matrices [1], neural networks [2] and programmable photonic circuits [3], the density on our optical chips is being pushed continuously. On integrated photonic platforms, the placement of highly dense SOA arrays can be challenging for several reasons, which can be categorized as optical, thermal, electrical and fabrication [4] limitations. For the scope of this paper, we will focus on the thermal and fabrication limitations of high-density arrays. Micro-transfer-printing enables the integration of III-V coupons on silicon-based platforms [5], which combines the active components on the coupon with the low-loss silicon platform. In this paper, SOA arrays on InP substrates and InP coupons will be compared. Fabrication challenges and solutions On a typical InP integration platform, a regrowth step is carried out to define where the active and passive components are placed in the circuit. When placing SOA building blocks in dense arrays, one runs into issues with the regrowth of the passive layers, due to an effect called growth rate enhancement (GRE). This GRE appears when SOA arrays are densely spaced, which is named the loading effect, or when the active area that is covered during the regrowth process is too large [6]. These effects can cause issues in the butt-joint connection between the SOAs and passive waveguides, which can lead to high coupling losses and reflections. To avoid the GRE effect, an improvement to the regrowth process is proposed. This method is introduced for the first time in [4], and utilizes a hollow-mask approach to prevent GRE around close to the active islands. As a result, the GRE is not impacted by | non_poster |

We observe the transmission spectra with pass bands and stop bands, which show the subwavelength transmission through the non-metallic gaps. This unique transmission property through subwavelength apertures makes it potentially useful frequency selective components in THz region. We experimentally demonstrate its behavior by designing and fabricating four prototype planar fractals in the range of 0-1.5THz and characterize using a polarizing Fourier transform spectrometer. We find good agreement between the models and measurements. INTRODUCTION The electromagnetic transmission properties through subwavelength apertures have attracted increasing attention due to the potential applications as frequency- selective components (FSS) in the development of terahertz optoelectronics. Extensive experimental and theoretical work has been carried out to analyse the physical details of the transmission process. The phenomenon of enhanced transmission through the metallic film with periodic arrays of subwavelength holes was first reported by Ebbesen in 1998 [1]. Later Qu presented the experimental result of the transmission magnitude and phase change of terahertz pulses through thin metallic films patterned with subwavelength hole arrays on silicon wafers [2]. In 2002 Wen presented by both experiment and theory that a specific class of planar conducting fractals can exhibit multiple stop and pass bands over a broad microwave frequency range, with the desired property that the fractal patterns can be significantly subwavelength in dimensions [3]. More recently optical transmission properties of subwavelength planar fractals in terahertz frequency region were studied experimentally by means of time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) [4, 5, 6]. It showed that the frequency gaps corresponding to wavelengths can be significantly larger than the size of the sample; this makes planar fractals a possible potentially useful frequency-selective material. Zhao attributed the detected transmittance from subwavelength fractals to localized resonances. Followed the experimental work done by Zhao [4, 5], in this paper, we investigate the performance of the planar fractals as a potential band pass/stop filter. In Section 2 we present a theoretical analysis to obtain a physical insight into the behavior and to show how the geometrical parameters relate to its performance. We also present the design parameters of four patterns and expected performance in the 0-1.5THz region. The modeling uses a commercial finite-element analysis package, the high frequency structure simulator (HFSS) [7]. In Section 3 we describe the device manufacture, the measurement and the discussion of the results. The components were fabricated at Cardiff using photolithographic process to produce the patterns in a thin copper layer on a thin dielectric membrane support. Spectral measurements were made using a polarizing Fourier transform spectrometer (pFTS) which enabled the polarisation properties of the structures to be investigated. The measured results are compared with predictions from HFSS. We find good agreement between the models and measurements. THEORY AND MODELING Essential | non_poster |
____________ SIE 2024, June 26-28, 2024, Genova, Italy On the design of LDMOS finFETs in advanced technology nodes Alessandro Ruggieri1, Lisa Tondelli1, Ruben Asanovski1,2, and Luca Selmi1. 1 DIEF, Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia, Italy 2 now with imec, Belgium alessandro.ruggieri@unimore.it Abstract. We explore, by full 3D numerical simulations, the impact of a few de- vice design solutions on the performance of LDMOS finFETs fabricated in ad- vanced technology nodes (<16 nm). We focus on the impact of the additional (dummy) gates required by lithography loading constraints along the drift region. A few metrics relevant for performance and reliability assessments (specific-on- resistance, transition frequency, carrier generation rate and impact ionization cur- rent) are examined for different gates’ biasing schemes. The results suggest that a carefully chosen fixed biasing could provide improvements in reliability and in static metrics with low reduction of the dynamic performance. Keywords: finFET, LDMOS, drift region, dummy gates 1 Introduction The Lateral Double-diffused MOS (LDMOS) FET is the transistor of choice for smart power electronics in planar CMOS technology. Most LDMOSs designs make use of field plates with thicker dielectric above the drift region to smoothen the electric field profile and achieve higher breakdown voltage (BV) [1]. Alternatively, Shallow Trench Isolation (STI) above the drain side of the drift region has been adopted [2]. These designs optimize the drift region length and conductivity to achieve low Ron and a high BV [1]. Design solutions for RF power stages integrated with highly dense, low- voltage digital electronics are a key asset for the realization of complex Systems-on- Chip (SoCs) for modern communication standards. Availability of LDMOS FETs in advanced finFET nodes is thus highly desirable but very few papers address the issue. An STI above the drift region is used in [4]. Introducing field plates or multiple gate dielectric thicknesses in dense digital layouts, however, is limited by lithography load- ing issues, that impede sudden gate and drain pitch and width changes and enforce the insertion of additional dummy gates (DGs) above the drift region. Furthermore, only a few papers address Hot-Carrier Injection (HCI) degradation and reliability of LDMOS FinFETs [3,4], which appear a critical limitation according to present reports. In this paper, we investigate a few optimization strategies for nanometer-scale LDMOS FinFETs with DGs, paying special attention to the HCI and impact ionization phenomena that nowadays limit the reliability of these exploratory devices. 2 Methodology and device structure The analysis has been carried out using full three-dimensional simulations calibrated to reproduce typical IV curves for a state-of-the-art, <16 nm finFET technology.

Nudges are small changes in supposedly irrelevant features in the choice framing to enhance the best option, without removing the other set of options, to promote the best self-interest of the individual (Thaler & Sunstein, 2008) . A nudge is neutral in the sense that individuals can opt-out of the nudge incentive without difficulty or relevant cost. However, in practice, nudges are strongly efficient to affect the decision-making process and, consequently, the final well-being level of the individuals (hopefully for the best). Currently, nudge initiatives are increasingly widespread. They are being used in very different ways and at different levels throughout the world to enhance the effectiveness of interventions to promote individual and social welfare (see, for instance, Behavioural Insights Team, 2018; John et al., 2020; Lehner et al., 2016; Lourenço et al., 2016; White, 2019; Whitehead et al., 2014). In this special call for papers, we aim to see how insights from behavioral science can help researchers and policymakers to understand the potential of choice architecture and nudging to respond to various challenges in management.

A Roadmap for a DCAT-AP Extension This report aims at defining a roadmap with guidelines and best practices to design, implement and publish a DCAT-AP extension. The roadmap towards the publication of a DCAT-AP extension, represented in the diagram attached, is composed of five steps described in the following paragraphs: definition of requirements, definition of the domain model, RDF implementation, documentation and guidelines, hosting and publication. A report of best practices for DCAT-AP extensions is not publicly available, however, they are partially documented by existing extensions. The guidelines and best practices reported are extracted considering available DCAT-AP extensions and additional inputs collected through interviews with experts held within the NAPCORE project. STEP 1: Definition of requirements for the DCAT-AP extension The first phase of the roadmap is related to the definition of requirements for the DCAT-AP extension. A collection of use cases and functionalities, which should be supported by the extension, must be identified involving the relevant stakeholders and used to elicit a set of requirements. This phase should take into account also existing projects and initiatives for metadata to support their reuse in the design and implementation phase. In particular, the already existing DCAT-AP extensions should be considered. STEP 2: definition of the domain model for the DCAT-AP extension The second step of the roadmap concerns the definition of the conceptual model considering the elicited requirements. The report released by the ISA Programme [1] describes a methodology for the development of conceptual models and vocabularies fostering semantic interoperability between information systems. This work is an elaboration of the standardisation process and methodology of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The process involves setting up a Working Group and submitting drafts of the specification for internal and external public review. The methodology focuses on the identification of elements to be covered. Relevant steps to be performed are: (i) analyse the domain and the use cases addressed by the model to be developed, (ii) reach a consensus by developing semantic agreements among different stakeholders, (iii) define and implement a structured and clear model, and (iv) publish the model for public revision. Additional best practices, as identified for the definition of the domain model for a DCAT-AP extension, are: to identify and prioritise potential new metadata elements considering the contribution that they could generate regarding data discovery; | non_poster |

Poster: Evaluation of Membership Inference Attacks on LoRA with Differential Privacy 1st Takuya Higashi Mitsubishi Electric Corporation Kanagawa, Japan Higashi.Takuya@da.MitsubishiElectric.co.jp 2nd Tsunato Nakai Mitsubishi Electric Corporation Kanagawa, Japan Nakai.Tsunato@dy.MitsubishiElectric.co.jp Abstract—While the utilization of large language models (LLMs) is expected in various industries, concerns have been raised regarding information leakage and privacy issues related to training data. The application of differential privacy has been actively researched as a solution to the problem. Differential privacy has been applied during the fine-tuning stage of pre- trained LLMs, and the information leakage risk concerning training data has been evaluated through membership inference attacks (MIAs). Although parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) has recently gained attention, it has also been studied for the application of differential privacy. An evaluation of information leakage risk through MIAs has not yet been reported. Therefore, in this paper, we focused on the representative PEFT method Low-Rank Adaptation(LoRA) , and performed an MIA evalua- tion of a model trained with differential privacy-enhanced LoRA. We demonstrate the effectiveness of applying differential privacy to LoRA through MIA evaluations. Through the experiments, it was revealed that fine-tuning via LoRA has an effect in mitigating privacy risks. However, no distinct impact on privacy risk reduction was observed through the application of differential privacy. This was consistent even when varying the privacy parameter ϵ in the validation. Index Terms—Large Language Model, PEFT, Differential Pri- vacy, Membership Inference Attack I. INTRODUCTION Transformer-based large language models (LLMs), such as BERT and GPT [1] have been developed and have achieved state-of-the-art performance in various natural language pro- cessing tasks. Generally, such models are pre-trained on large and diverse publicly available datasets and then fine-tuned for specific tasks. Fine-tuning is a technique in which a pre- trained model is retrained on a new dataset to improve the task performance. Recently, as the models become larger, parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) has gained attention. PEFT is a technique used to customize the LLM, where a small number of parameters or layers are added to the original LLM and trained with case-specific data. The weights of the original LLM remain fixed, resulting in significantly fewer parameters being updated during training. This improves performance in specific cases with limited computational resources. LLMs have a high capacity to memorize training data, leading to concerns regarding the information leakage risks associated with training data [2]. Recently, membership in- ference attacks (MIAs) have been regarded as an information leakage evaluation tool that reveal the extent to which a model memorizes individual samples from a training dataset and the associated risks. Ensuring differential privacy (DP) in the training of LLMs has gained attention as a countermeasure to address the information leakage risks associated with training data. DP is a powerful theory in data privacy and a technology that was originally proposed for statistical data. Recently, it has been commonly employed when applying privacy guarantees to machine learning models. Research is underway to apply DP to the training methods of pre-training, fine-tuning, and PEFT in LLMs. MIA evaluations have begun to be performed on large-scale language models that apply differential privacy, but PEFT has not been evaluated. Du et al. conducted information leakage risk evaluations of training data using MIAs on full fine-tuned models with DP [3]. However, models that are fine-tuned by DP-enhanced PEFT have not been evaluated. In this study, we investigate whether applying DP to repre- sentative PEFT, LoRA can mitigate information leakage risks associated with training | non_poster |
Dynamic Analysis of the SunDial, the Rotatory Fresnel Collector Magdalena Barnetche1,a), Luis F. González-Portillo1, Mercedes Ibarra2, Rubén Barbero2,Antonio Rovira2 ,Rubén Abbas1 Author Affiliations 1 Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, José Gutiérrez Abascal 2, 28006, Madrid, Spain 2 Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), C/Juan del Rosal, 12, 28040 Madrid, Spain Author Emails a) Corresponding author: m.barnetche@upm.es Abstract. The SunDial is a new rotatory Fresnel designed for solar heat industrial process (SHIP) applications. This study aims to carry out a dynamic analysis of the SunDial against different transients such as start-up, defocus, and cloud passage. We used Dymola software to simulate the SunDial connected to a heat exchanger, which represents industrial heat demand, in a closed-loop with several controllers. The system could maintain the demand inlet temperature at a constant value, operating the SunDial at a constant flow despite the variability of the solar resource. The defocus control could manage to limit the temperature to the maximum admitted, preventing overheating. INTRODUCTION Concentrating solar power could substitute fossil fuels to produce heat. However, unlike fossil fuels, solar energy is an intermittent source. To analyze the effect of these variabilities on the solar system, researchers used dynamic simulations: for example, Rodin et al. [1] used Dymola to simulate a Fresnel collector system with a thermal oil. They analyzed the ability of the system to maintain the outlet temperature constant by varying the collector flow against different transients. They concluded that the thermal inertia of the thermal oil system could address short-term variations in the resource. This study focused on the dynamic performance of the SunDial, a rotatory Fresnel collector that is part of the European Project ASTEP (Application of Solar Thermal Energy to Processes), a new concept of Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (SHIP). The SunDial is built on an 8-meter-diameter platform with an azimuthal sun tracking system. It has a two-tube receiver connected in series, uses oil as a heat transfer fluid, and has 8 mirrors with a 20-25 m2 aperture area [2]. The main objective of this study was to develop a dynamic model of the SunDial receiver and test its operation connected to a heat demand in a closed system. We designed a control system to guarantee a supply of constant temperature and flow operating the SunDial at a constant flow. We analyzed the response of this system to different dynamic situations such as start-up, defocus, and cloud passage. SUNDIAL DYNAMIC MODEL Previous studies of dynamic solar thermal systems used Dymola software [3], the results of these studies are open source libraries: ThermoPower [4], ThermoSysPro [5] or ThermoCycle [6]. Dymola is based on Modelica language, an object-oriented and equation-based language. This software uses the Modelica library that contains basic elements: pipes, pumps, valves, among others. These elements can be connected to a more complex generated system. We chose | non_poster |

XXI Simpósio Nacional de Ensino de Física – SNEF 2015 1 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 26 a 30 de janeiro de 2015 UTILIZANDO O TRACKER PARA A OBTENÇÃO DA CARGA ESPECÍFICA DO ELETRON. Marisa Almeida Cavalcante1, Thaís T.T. Rodrigues1, Anderson de Castro Teixeira1, Carlos Eduardo Monteiro Rodrigues1 1. De Grupo de Pesquisa em Ensino de Física, Departamento de Física, Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, Brasil marisac@pucsp.br, thais.ttrodrigues@gmail.com, andersont_5@hotmail.com, Resumo O Tracker é uma aplicação gráfica em Java publicada mediante a licença GPL que permite analisar vídeos do ponto de vista físico muito utilizado para estudo de fenômenos correlacionados à mecânica e cinemática. Neste trabalho, apresentamos uma proposta de aplicação do Tracker para o desenvolvimento de experimentos em Física Moderna, particularmente na determinação da carga específica do elétron. A metodologia desenvolvida permitiu melhorar consideravelmente os resultados obtidos comparativamente à técnica tradicional, apontando novas possibilidades de investigação e aplicações nos laboratórios didáticos destinados a esta área do conhecimento. Tendo em vista que os vídeos produzidos podem e devem ser disponibilizados livremente na web, tornamos amplo e irrestrito o acesso e desenvolvimento de experimentos historicamente importantes, realizados apenas com equipamentos importados e de custo elevado. Acreditamos que a facilidade do método proposto somado ao custo zero, são aspectos facilitadores que torna este trabalho uma boa contribuição na ampliação do leque de possibilidades para a inserção de Física Moderna no Ensino Médio, uma preocupação permanente na área de Ensino de Física. Palavras-chave: Tracker, Física Moderna, Carga específica do elétron. 1. Introdução Hoje a importância do ensino de Física Moderna (FM) no Ensino Médio é um consenso entre os professores de Física. [1] [2]. Os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCNs) e pesquisas na área de Física mostram que a importância da inclusão de tópicos de FM para que o aluno compreenda as implicações da ciência e da tecnologia em seu cotidiano [3] [4] [5]. Entretanto as dificuldades técnicas, de custo de materiais experimentais, ausência de conteúdos nos livros didáticos [6] e o número de aulas fazem com que esses conteúdos fiquem fora da sala de aula. No final século passado era preciso levar a física do século XX para a sala de aula. Hoje é preciso colocar a física de qualquer século incluindo a Física Moderna antes que a física acabe na escola [7]. Diante dessas dificuldades, vários recursos têm se mostrados úteis. O caso mais comum é a utilização de animações e simuladores, onde o aluno interage alterando variáveis a fim de obter resultados que confirmem uma determinada teoria ou um dado modelo previamente estabelecido [8]. Neste mesmo caminho podemos destacar também a modelagem computacional e análise de vídeo. A primeira se caracteriza pelas aplicações de modelos matemáticos relacionados a determinado fenômeno e resultados gerados | non_poster |

Speech Emotion Recognition from Social Media Voice Messages Recorded in the Wild Lucía Gómez-Zaragozá(&), Javier Marín-Morales(&), Elena Parra(&), Jaime Guixeres(&), and Mariano Alcañiz(&) Instituto de Investigación e Innovación en Bioingeniería, Universitat Politècnica de València, Valencia, Spain {lugoza,jamarmo,elparvar,jaiguipr, malcaniz}@i3b.upv.es Abstract. Speech is the most natural way for human communication, carrying the emotional state of the speaker that plays an important role in social inter- action. Currently, many instant messaging apps offer the possibility of exchanging voice audios with other users. As a result, a great amount of voice data is generated every day, representing a new challenging approach for speech emotion recognition in real environments. In this study, we investigated emotion recognition from voice messages recorded in the wild using machine-learning algorithms. Unlike most research in this field, which use databases based on emotions evoked in lab environments, simulated by actors or subjectively selected from radio or TV talks, we created an ecological speech dataset with audios from real WhatsApp conversations of 30 Spanish speakers. Four external evaluators labelled each audio in terms of arousal and valence using the Self- Assessment Manikin (SAM) procedure. Pre-processing techniques were applied to the audios and different time and frequency domain features were extracted. Supervised machine learning classifiers were computed using feature reduction and hyper-parameter tuning in order to recognize the affective state of each voice message. The best recognition rate was obtained with Support Vector Machines, achieving 71.37% along the arousal dimension and 70.73% along the valence dimension. These results support the use of emotion recognition models on daily communication apps, helping to understand social human behavior and their interactions with devices in the real world. Keywords: Speech emotion recognition Speech database Vocal social media 1 Introduction Speech is the most natural and efficient way of communication for humans. It conveys not only linguistic information but also the emotional state of the speaker, which is a key factor for daily human interactions, as it is interpreted and used by the listener to adapt the behavior in response. Currently, speech emotion recognition (SER) is a growing research area that aims to recognize the emotional state of a speaker from the speech signal. It has potential applications both for the study of human-human com- munication and human-computer interaction (HCI) [1]. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 C. Stephanidis and M.

Bling and How its Message Captures Our Interest Despina Christoforidou – Industrial Design, Department of Design Sciences, Lund University, Lund, Sweden, (46) 462228912, despina.christoforidou@design.lth.se Elin Olander - Industrial Design, Department of Design Sciences, Lund University, Lund, Sweden, (46) 462223633, elin.olander@design.lth.se Abstract Diamonds and big gold jewellery, manifesting newly won financial status, are the main points of reference when bling appears in the media today. But what is bling exactly? Who are the bling users? What products are considered as bling? What are the product characteristics of bling? This article is a first attempt to shed some light to the above questions. The answers give raise to curiosity and strong emotional reactions, mainly negative ones. What the underlying reasons to these reactions are and how the clear semantic message of bling products can be transformed into other types of products will be investigated in future studies.

Time‐travel with PRONOM: The 4th dimension of DROID Michelle Lindlar, Yvonne Tunnat TIB German National Library of Science and Technology, ZBW Leibniz Information Centre for Economics Research Question: How stable has file format identification for PDF, JPEG (JFIF), GIF and TIFF been across the past 18 years of PRONOM / DROID signature patterns? Scope: Limited to signature patterns (excluding impact of DROID engine changes) and limited to subset of file formats for each family. All signature patterns used for time machine analysis. PRONOM release notes analysis was restricted to the available release notes (v31‐v93). Approach: Experiment with “Time Machine” which runs through all signature patterns; release note analysis. Background and Motivation TIB and ZBW are both actively involved in digital preservation, working collaboratively in a digital archive with > 1.7 million files. Knowledge of a digital object’s file format is the basis of our functional preservation planning and action. But how can we verify this knowledge? And how reliable is the outcome of standard processes using DROID and PRONOM?

Click arrows for answers How stable has file format identification for PDF, JPEG (JFIF), GIF and TIFF been? All files had identification problems in the early stages of PRONOM and could not be identified with patterns V1‐4. From there on, results differed by file format family. JPEG (JFIF) and GIF identification remained stable throughout all other versions. However, a closer analysis of the release notes showed that both patterns changed over the course of time. While JPEG raised the offset of the End of File marker three times, allowing for up to 65536 bytes after the EOF marker, the gif pattern was only changed once, allowing up to 4 bytes of data after the EOF pattern match. While the test corpus identification outcome was not affected by this, files within an archive might very well be impacted by these changes to JPEG and GIF patterns. PDF pattern changes were more frequent, leading to drastic results, such as the „dark age of (some) PDFs“ between 2010 and 2014. For „plain PDF“, i.e. PDF 1.0‐1.7, identification has been fairly stable since V77 (Oct 2014), while changes still occur regularly to PDF profile formats such as the PDF/A or PDF/X formats. A PUID and pattern for PDF2.0 (fmt/1129) was released in V93. The pattern will have to be observed closely, as first writers for PDF2.0 are currently being developed.

GWD Developmental Designs: Life, Design and Infants are like Jazz Victor Frostig, Academic Institute of Technology (HAIT) – Israel Roni Golos, "Golos-Weisman Design"- GWD – Israel Zafrira Weisman, "Golos-Weisman Design"- GWD – Israel Abstract Existence is structured as reflexive, dynamic non-linear activity. Development is henceforth not a result of structure, but a life of reciprocal actions that are ceaselessly changed and cause change. Every living creature lives within a continuous stream, always being and becoming simultaneously. This is the basis for the conception of design as expressed by the GWD Studio, which specializes in design for infants and toddlers. Design fusion - a fusion of meanings, experiences, processes of life Product - A heterogeneous, dynamic system. The infant is not categorized as a defined entity, separate from its environment, but rather as an organism in a process of organization that lasts all its life. Its experimentation is simultaneously physical and mental, which can be distinguished but not separated. The experiments, and as a result the skills are the unique developmental process of every infant – like jazz, like life – without a conductor open to improvisations. Three GWD designs are presented as illustrations of the perception of the world, design and the infant, and its formation into developmental products. Introduction As a starting point I would like to state that I do not share the modern, mechanistic approach, nor do I share the romantic way of life. In fact these are the two approaches expressed in the growing polarity between the two paradigms of design. On the one hand, functionalism, designed industrialization and constructivism; on the other hand, romanticism, organism, vitalism, arts and crafts, Art Nouveau. Neither of these is my way (Frostig 2003). The clarification of the frame of reference is integral to the ability to understand processes and output. There is no way design can be evaluated in any absolute sense, since the quality of design is dependent upon the context of environmental perception in which it operates, and the criteria for judgment are not external or autonomous. I have elected to submit this paper from the realm of praxis, since I combine theory and practice together. This is theory in its broadest sense, the theater of life. | non_poster |
Poster: MUSTARD - Adaptive Behavioral Analysis for Ransomware Detection Davide Sanvito NEC Laboratories Europe Giuseppe Siracusano NEC Laboratories Europe Roberto Gonzalez NEC Laboratories Europe Roberto Bifulco NEC Laboratories Europe ABSTRACT Behavioural analysis based on filesystem operations is one of the most promising approaches for the detection of ransomware. Nonethe- less, tracking all the operations on all the files for all the processes can introduce a significant overhead on the monitored system. We present MUSTARD, a solution to dynamically adapt the degree of monitoring for each process based on their behaviour to achieve a reduction of monitoring resources for the benign processes. 1 INTRODUCTION Ransomware attacks are a growing source of concern [2]. Among the solutions proposed to address them [6–8], dynamic system behavioural analysis is a promising approach. Indeed, most ran- somwares access and modify many files in small time, thereby exposing a peculiar behaviour, which is detected by solutions in the state-of-the-art [3, 4, 9, 10]. These solutions apply a set of common steps: (i) collection of features by monitoring Operating System (OS) interfaces and accesses to the filesystems; (ii) analysis of the collected features to build per-process behaviors; (iii) classification of the modeled behaviors. These steps introduce a large overhead on running systems, limiting their applicability in the real world. In general, dynamic behavioural analysis methods rely on a set of features that are collected at the OS level. Often, individual fea- tures require the combination of raw counters collected at different system/OS interfaces. Furthermore, while some features are as easy as e.g., counting the number of file accesses, others include more complex operations. Therefore, the monitoring overhead depends both on the number of monitored features and on their types. For in- stance, the time to copy a 10GB file is 10% longer when just enabling the OS interfaces required for monitoring1. Adding the simple read and increment of a counter in a hash-table increases the overhead to 20%. Furthermore, some features may require significantly more compute intensive steps, e.g., computing the entropy of the written data [3–5]. In our simple file copy test, computing such complex features might increase the copy time by a factor of over 10x (from GB/s to 100MB/s of write throughput). We focus on reducing this monitoring overhead. Our idea is to investigate the opportunity to monitor only a subset of the required features at most times, enabling the collection of additional features only when a monitored process exhibits a behavior compatible to a ransomware. We build on the intuition that ransomwares perform a set of unavoidable steps: listing files; accessing many of them; reading and writing to the file; writing encrypted content. Only a relatively small number of the OS processes perform a similar set of steps, creating an opportunity to focus our monitoring on those. Therefore, we build MUSTARD2, a monitoring system that dynam- ically cascades a series of detection models, each of them using 1We run the test using Linux, ext4, and the recently introduced eBPF framework. 2Multi-Stage Adaptive Ransomware Detection Figure 1: MUSTARD workflow.

Using a popular public dataset [1], we show that MUSTARD can keep detec- tion performance, reducing monitoring overhead, at the cost of a small increase in detection latency. 2 MUSTARD We build MUSTARD, a Multi-Stage detection mechanism that uses an increasing number of features at each detection stage.

Offset-free MPC of Temperature in Smart Greenhouse VESNA Erika Pavloviˇcov´a, Jozef Vargan, Peter Bakar´aˇc, Miroslav Fikar, Juraj Oravec Institute of Information Engineering, Automation, and Mathematics, Faculty of Chemical and Food Technology, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, Radlinsk´eho 9, SK-812 37, Bratislava, e-mail: erika.pavlovicova@stuba.sk. Abstract: The VESNA smart greenhouse system aims for sustainable, ecological, and organic food production. This study explores an offset-free model predictive controller (MPC) for temperature tracking. The MPC proves effective in maintaining temperature within constraints. Extensive experiments assess different MPC setups, focusing on environmental factors, including energy use and carbon footprint. Additionally, a novel software toolbox simplifies analysis and remote control, enhancing user-friendliness. Together, the designed offset-free reference tracking MPC controllers and the toolbox offer a comprehensive solution for smart greenhouse control. Keywords: Process Control, IoT, Optimization and Model Predictive Control, Smart Greenhouse, Offset-free Control, Object-oriented Programming, Industry 4.0 1. INTRODUCTION Climate change and resource limitations are pushing sus- tainable production forward. Integrating advanced control technologies, such as smart greenhouses, efficiently ad- dresses these challenges. Applying optimal control meth- ods minimizes the adverse effects on climate (Bersani et al., 2020) and intensifies crop production (Villagran et al., 2020). Temperature control is crucial in maintaining optimal growing conditions for various crops in greenhouses. Tradi- tional control methods like PID controllers often struggle to achieve precise and efficient temperature performance. Optimization-based control strategies, such as well-known model predictive control (MPC) (Qin and Badgwell, 2003), provide a matured control strategy addressing these limi- tations and enabling efficient reference tracking tempera- ture control in greenhouse environments. MPC has gained increasing attention as a robust, versatile control method for greenhouse environments. Several studies have investi- gated the application of MPC in greenhouse temperature control, demonstrating its ability to control temperature effectively while dynamically adapting to changing envi- ronmental conditions. An analysis of the control perfor- mance of MPC and reinforcement learning for managing a lettuce greenhouse was presented in Morcego et al. (2023). They showed better results using MPC considering energy and economic efficiency. Hu and You (2022) proposed a data-driven robust MPC to control the inner environ- mental conditions of the greenhouse in the presence of uncertainty. While the papers above primarily focused on simulated re- sults and theoretical guarantees, the presented paper intro- duces a comprehensive solution for laboratory greenhouse control, including a user-friendly toolbox for data ex- change between the laboratory smart greenhouse VESNA (Versatile Simulator for Near-zero Emissions Agricul- ture) 1 and the autonomous control unit. Smart green- house VESNA and its goals in control and education were introduced in detail in Oravec et al. (2023). This paper investigates the problem of designing and implementing a constrained offset-free MPC for reference tracking of temperature in a smart greenhouse VESNA. A user-friendly communication toolbox in modern agri- culture is indispensable for seamlessly integrating IoT technology with greenhouse devices (Prakash et al., 2023). As part of the paper, a newly developed toolbox VESNA CODE 2 is introduced as a user-friendly software for com- munication with the VESNA greenhouse. The toolbox developed in MATLAB programming environment allows the user to easily download and upload data to the greenhouse, allowing the user to stay focused on controller design and fine-tuning of the controller parameters. 2.

Using exome sequence data and Random Forest analysis to identify functional mutation signatures of 5 cancer differentiation subtypes. Introduction The Pan-Cancer Analysis Project [1] aims to identify the genomic changes present in 12 different cancer types from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) set [2]. Cancer is a morphologically and genetically highly heterogeneous disease and as such we aimed to identify predictors of the 5 main differentiation subtypes in the Pan-Cancer Analysis [1] based on differences in their patterns of functional mutation. Whole exome sequencing was performed on tumour and normal tissue samples from 3129 patients enabling the identification of cancer related mutations in each patient. Clinical data were also collected for all patients, including gender and age. We used a Random Forest machine learning approach to compare the 5 differentiation subtypes in a pairwise fashion. Our presented results show that we were able to discriminate between Bladder Urotherial Cancer and Acute Myeloid Leukemia in unseen samples with 87.8% accuracy (95% CI : (78.71, 93.99)).

Mit der Etablierung von Open-Access-Diensten und Infrastrukturen wurde kurz nach Veröffentlichung der Berliner Erklärung in 2003 begonnen. Mit Beginn der DFG- Förderprogramme Open-Access-Publizieren im Jahr 2015 hat die UP erfolgreich Mittel für den Open Access Publikationsfonds eingeworben. Dieser wurde bis heute mit Mitteln der DFG in den verschiedenen Förderprogrammen unterstützt. Der strategische Prozess zur Einführung eines institutionellen Forschungsdaten- und Softwaremanagements – als Voraussetzung für FAIR1- und Open-Data & Software-Praktiken – begann im Jahr 2019 mit der Nutzung des Research Infrastructure Self-Evaluation Framework (RISE)2. Das Framework wurde im Rahmen des BMBF Projekts FDMentor3 für den deutschen Hochschulkontext als RISE-DE4 adaptiert und breit nachgenutzt5. Die Förderung von Forschungsdatenmanagement mit dem Ziel der Open Data erstreckt sich über Handreichungen und Orientierungshilfen, wie Webseiten oder den im Verbundprojekt DDP Bildung entwickelten, standardisierten Datenmanagementplans für die Bildungsforschung Stamp6 Im Bereich Open Educational Resources wurde im Rahmen des MWFK- Projekts BrandenbOERg7 2021 ein Bericht zur „Implementierung von OER an den Hochschulen Brandenburgs“8 veröffentlicht. Als Citizen Science in der Bildungsforschung lassen sich partizipative Forschungsformate betrachten, die Lehrkräfte, Lehramtsstudierende, Schulleitungen und Schüler:innen aktiv in den Forschungsprozess einbeziehen. Solche Forschungsvorhaben werden durch das Campusschulnetzwerk9 der Universität Potsdam gefördert, durch das nachhaltige Forschungskooperationen mit der Schulpraxis etabliert werden. Aus diesen praxisorientierten Forschungsprojekten entstehen empirisch geprüfte Unterrichtsmaterialien, die als OER den Schulen zur Verfügung10 gestellt werden.

— 665 671 Celebration & Contemplation, 10th International Conference on Design & Emotion 27 — 30 September 2016, Amsterdam Abstract Using methods of critical inquiry, American graphic design students confront uncomfortable realities about the role that brand identity plays in promoting and reinforcing detrimental attitudes and habits of American society and culture. This initiative invites them to use their graphic design skills to critically examine American culture through the filter of their own personal experience in it. The students consider how brands can often exploit the society’s insecurities and desires, selling them products, services, and ideas that they don’t need or shouldn’t accept. Mindful of the role that graphic designers play in the emergence of successful brands, the students create satirical brand identities for reprehensible companies of their own invention. This process makes use of the Culture Jamming process, which is ‘the act of using existing mass media to comment on those very media themselves, using the original medium’s communication method.’ Recent parody projects have explored obesity, prescription drugs, gender issues, xenophobia, climate ignorance, body image, and misogyny in entertainment. This initiative provides a model for educators looking for ways to incorporate cultural criticism into an already tightly defined curriculum.

Winter wheat (TriticumTriticumaestivum aestivumL.) assessment of weed competitive L.) assessment of weed competitive ability using weed competitor and naturally weed ability using weed competitor and naturally weed--infested methodinfested method Aleš Kolmanic1; Andrej Zemljič1; Matej Knapič2; Andrej Vončina 2; Uroš Žibrat 2; Vladimir Meglič1 1 Agricultural Institute of Slovenia, Crop science department, Ljubljana, Slovenia 2 Agricultural Institute of Slovenia, Plant protection department, Ljubljana, Slovenia The weed competitor method was more reliable for evaluating the weed competitive ability of wheat and showed smaller variation compared to naturally weeded trials. The number of weed competitor plants correlated strongly and negatively with wheat height and wheat biomass, while the dry biomass of weed competitor correlated strongly and positively with the number of competitor plants and negatively with the wheat biomass and wheat height. On the contrary, only weak to moderate correlations were observed between soil cover and number of wheat leaves or LAI and weed number/biomass regardless of the wheat growth stage. First analysis of multispectral data by comparing weed biomass and Optimized Soil Adjusted Vegetation index (OSAVI) showed significant differences; however, r2 values show only weak relationships. Results indicate that the weed competitive ability of wheat cultivars differs. Rather than being attributed to a single trait, competitive ability encompasses a combination of different traits. Based on the dry biomass of weed competitor, tested varieties can be grouped into varieties with good weed competitive ability (Primorka, Marinka, Bernstein, and Vulkan); varieties with moderate weed competitive ability (Izalco CS, Savinja, Illico, Alixan, Gorolka, Reska); and varieties with low weed competitive ability (CCB Ingenio, Tata Mata).C ConclusiononclusionssMaterial and Material and methodsmethodsResults Results Widespread intensive and repeated herbicide use causes environmental pollution problems and the emergence of resistant weed biotypes, increasing concerns about the sustainability of such approaches. The adoption of weed-competitive genotypes is regarded as an effective tool in integrated weed management. Furthermore, as organic cultivation omits the use of synthetic herbicides, the adoption of weed-competitive genotypes is high on the priority list to increase the productivity of organic cultivation. Selection of wheat cultivars for competitive ability against weeds requires identification of relevant traits and development of reliable procedures to measure/estimate them. This ongoing study is focused on the assessment of weed competitive ability using the standard and advanced phenotyping techniques and the development of reliable and high-throughput screening method for identification of genotypes with higher weed competitivness. Three separate trials, i.e. weed-free trial (weeds eliminated with the use of herbicides), weed competitor trial (barley used as the weed and weeds eliminated with the herbicide), and naturally weed-infested trial (no weed management applied) were established with 12 wheat cultivars in growing seasons 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 to study traits contributing to weed competitive ability. The design of each of the trials was a randomized block with 4 replications. The size of the individual plots was 7.5 m2. Traits were scored using classical phenotyping (field measurements) and multispectral sensing tools at different growing stages of wheat. Traits scored were wheat/weed soil cover, biomass, height, and a number of plants; number, square surface, and dry weight of leaves, wheat growth type, grain yield, grain moisture, and thousand kernel weights. Field scorings and spectral signatures of cultivars were recorded at booting, heading, anthesis, and ripening growth stages. Biomass was sampled using the 30 x 30 cm square. At maturity, plots were harvested and grain yield was determined. | non_poster |

Final conference, Rome October 11, 2016 Surface radiation budget and role of clouds during the 2016 Study of the water VApour in the polar AtmosPhere (SVAAP) campaign at Thule, Greenland Daniela Meloni1, Tatiana Di Iorio1, Alcide di Sarra1, Antonio Iaccarino1, Giandomenico Pace1, Gabriele Mevi2, Giovanni Muscari2, Marco Cacciani3, Julian Gröbner4 1Laboratory for Observations and Analyses of Earth and Climate, ENEA, Italy, e-mail: daniela.meloni@enea.it; 2Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Italy; 3Physics Department, University of Rome “La Sapienza”, Italy; 4PMOD/WRC, Switzerland. Abstract The radiative balance of the Earth-atmosphere system is the driving motor of climate change, and polar regions are the most sensitive, at global level, to such changes [Serreze and Francis, 2006]. Among different factors, water vapour and clouds have the most important influence on surface radiative budget (SRB) in the polar regions, acting with complex feedback mechanisms [Curry et al., 1995; 1996]. For such reason there is an urgent need to investigate the cloud impact on the atmospheric radiative budget. The determination of cloud properties from satellite is problematic [Kato et al., 2006], thus requiring either long term measurements or intensive field campaigns. The climate observatory at Thule (76.5° N, 68.8° W), Greenland, is devoted to climate change studies since 90’s, with an international effort of different institutions: DMI, NCAR, ENEA, INGV, University of Rome (http://www.thuleatmos-it.it). The Study of the water Vapour in the polar AtmosPhere (SVAAP) project, funded by the Italian Programme for Antarctic Research, is aimed at investigating the surface radiation budget, the variability of atmospheric water vapour, and the long-term variations in stratospheric composition and structure at Thule, in the framework of the international Network for Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC). The SRB investigation is a common focus of both SVAAP and ARCA projects, the radiation balance being a key quantity in air-surface interaction. In addition to continuing the long term measurements of stratospheric parameters, the project includes the realization of an intensive field campaign, which offered the possibility to study the cloud physical and optical properties and their impact on the surface radiative budget. The field campaign was held from 5 to 28 July 2016. The instruments already operating at Thule observatory were: a lidar system for the stratospheric temperature profile (during nighttime) and of the tropospheric backscattering profile [di Sarra et al., 1998; di Sarra et al., 2002; Di Biagio et al., 2010], an Eppley PSP pyranometer and a Kipp&Zonen CGR4 pyrgeometer for the downward shortwave (SW) and longwave (LW) irradiance [Di Biagio et al., 2012], respectively, and the millimeter-wave spectrometer GBMS [Muscari et al., 2007; 2012] capable of measuring the stratospheric and mesospheric chemical composition. New instruments for the SRB and for the characterization of the atmospheric state were installed for the campaign: an Eppley PSP pyranometer and a PIR pyrgeometer for the upward SW and LW irradiance, respectively; two Licor 190R sensors for the upwelling and downwelling photosynthetically active radiation (PAR); a Metcon actinometer for the downward actinc flux in the 280-700 nm spectral range; a modified CG3 pyrgeometer measuring downward irradiance in the 8-14 µm infrared window; a Hatpro microwave radiometer for the temperature and relative humidity tropospheric profiles, the integrated water vapour (IWV), and the liquid water path (LWP); VESPA-22 microwave spectrometer [Bertagnolio et al., 2012] for stratospheric water vapour profiles and IWV; a Heitronics infrared (9.6-11.5 µm) pyrometer for the sky brightness temperature (BT); a visible and an infrared sky cameras for the cloud cover; a meteorological | non_poster |

Region Filling and Object Removal by Exemplar-Based Image Inpainting using local binary patterns Hossein Alikarami Ph.D. of Educational studies, Department of Computer, Islamic Azad University, North Tehran Branch, Tehran, Iran Halikarami67@gmail.com Seyed Mojtaba Hosseini Assistant Professor, Department of Computer, Islamic Azad University, North Tehran Branch, Tehran, Iran mojtabahoseini@aut.ac.ir ABSTRACT A new algorithm is proposed for removing large objects from digital images. The challenge is to fill in the hole that is left behind in a visually plausible way. This paper focuses on novel image reconstruction method based on modified exemplar-based technique. The basic idea is to find an example (patch) from an image using local binary patterns, and replacing non-existed (‘lost’) data with it. We propose to use multiple criteria for a patch similarity search since often in practice existed exemplar-based methods produce unsatisfactory results. The criteria for searching the best matching uses several terms, including Euclidean metric for pixel brightness and Chi-squared histogram matching distance for local binary patterns. A combined use of textural geometric characteristics together with color information allows to get more informative description of the patches. Texture synthesis method proposed by Efros and Freeman for patch restoration is utilized in the proposed method. It allows optimizing an overlap region between patches using minimum error boundary cut. Several examples considered in this paper show the effectiveness of the proposed approach for large objects removal as well as recovery of small regions on several test images Keywords: image inpainting, interpolation, exemplar-based method, local binary pattern, texture synthesis. | non_poster |

Length and Thickness of Edge-on Disks in COSMOS: Measures of Galaxy Assembly Brian Ongeri Momanyi Bichang’a1,2 and Matthew Bershady1,2,3. (1)The South African Astronomical Observatory, Cape Town.(2)University of Cape Town,Cape Town.(3)University of Wisconsin, Madison. We present the disk size and thickness of 18 Milky Way-mass edge-on galaxies at intermediate redshift and compare them to the Galaxy's values. We use public COSMOS field data taken by HST's Advanced Camera for Surveys(ACS)/Wide Field Channel(WFC). The instrument's spatial resolution of 0.05′′ pixel-1 allows us to resolve physical scales of 0.3 kpc out to z~0.48, and 0.6 kpc out to z~1.6 comparable to the MW's thin and thick disk scale-heights, respectively. We select our sample from the COSMOS2015 photometric catalog (Laigle et al., 2016) that provides reliable photometric measurements. We fit standard models to the radial and vertical light profiles of galaxies in our sample and measure their scale-heights and scale-lengths. We obtain preliminary results of a mean dust scaleheight of 0.4 ± 0.2 kpc for our sample. With high resolution near-infrared data to be taken by Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope's Wide Field Imager, we can be able to probe this attenuated layer and characterize the young, star-forming disk components. Abstract Selection of Milky-Way-Like Edge-On Galaxies We selected edge-on galaxies in the publicly available COSMOS2015 photometric catalogue[1] based on the following criteria: ● Galaxies with photometric redshifts between 0<z<0.4. ● Galaxies with a V-band absolute magnitude close to the Milky Way's i.e MV = -20.71 ± 0.40 [2] ● Galaxies with Ellipticity > 0.6 The galaxies were visually inspected and truly edge-on galaxies were selected. | non_poster |

Minority Mediterraneans Why the Mediterranean? Why, despite its seemingly marginalisation in the overarching narrative of modern politics and culture, does it persistently return to the discussion? To raise this question is to touch a profound tension that lies at the heart of a contemporary debate. If the Mediterranean is overwhelmingly claimed as the site of the ‘origins’ of Western culture, at the same time there is an increasing reluctance to be associated with its present-‐day realities. Somehow, in order to be modern the existing Mediterranean has to be repudiated. Sun-‐lit sloth, civic chaos and corruption, represent the distasteful under-‐belly of a heritage that the incisive management of modernity north of the Alps and along the Atlantic shore has apparently overcome. Reduced to the leisurely pace of a time-‐out in which to entertain the senses with food, wine, sea, sun and antiquated cultures, the rationality of modernity is apparently exercised elsewhere. However, if this is the repressed side of Occidental modernity it can never really be kept at a distance; it is always destined to return and disturb the procedures of a purified rationality. So, apart from signalling a banal escape to pleasure, the Mediterranean as a repressed alterity within modernity can also be re-‐routed into a further, and altogether more disturbing, groove. As a line of flight into another unauthorised critical space, the present and past histories of the Mediterranean propose a radical revaluation of the very processes and powers that have led to its contemporary subordination, marginalisation and definition. Rather than simply clinging to some purported authenticity being threatened by modernity, there lies the altogether more complex issue of the latter being worked out, lived and proposed in transit and translation. Instead of the template there is transformation, the model is mutable and comes to be modified. Modernity is not an object to be possessed, defended and imposed, but the being and becoming of a dense network of shifting, interconnected, historical processes. Over the last few centuries the Mediterranean has come to represent a symbolic space against which Europe and its associated modernity has often elaborated its self identity: if both come from those shores, today both Europe and modernity are considered to have escaped that space. Yet as the site of a Greco-‐Roman inheritance, of the cultural and historical formation of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, of the clash of the early modern European and extra-‐European empires of Charles V and Suleiman the Magificent, and as testimony to the initial exercise of modern, systematic colonialism on its African and Asian shores, the Mediterranean is culturally and historically central to the structures and languages of European modernity. Suspended between the Orient and the Occident, and today increasingly between the North and the South of the planet, these multiple coordinates threaten to suck in and drown all attempts at arriving at a neat descriptive filiation. This suggests that beyond its geo-‐political and morphological definitions, the Mediterranean is, above all a discursive space. It hosts a variety of cultural and historical regimes of truth, and sustains not only a desire for definition but also the perpetual elaboration of a problematic.

Exploring How Street-level Images Help to Enhance Local Climate Zone Mapping Cai Liao∗1,2, Rui Cao†1 and Qi-Li Gao‡3 1Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics & Otto Poon Charitable Foundation Smart Cities Research Institute, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University 2School of Geodesy and Geomatics, Wuhan University 3CASA, University College London GISRUK 2023 Summary The local climate zone (LCZ) classification scheme is effective for climatic modelling, and timely and accurate LCZ mapping becomes critical for scientific climate research. Satellite im- ages can efficiently capture the information of large-scale landscapes, while street-level images include critical LCZ scheme-related information, such as building and ground-level details. It is promising to integrate the two different kinds of images. In this study, we explore two important questions: 1) Whether street-level images can help enhance LCZ classification performance com- pared with using satellite images alone, and how effective are they? 2) How street-level images can help augment the performance? KEYWORDS: Local climate zone (LCZ), climate change, remote sensing, street-level images, data fusion. 1 Introduction With more than half of the world’s population living in cities, urban areas become particularly vulnerable to potential climate risks. The local climate zones (LCZ) is a classification scheme that characterises urban form and function, and it is effective for climatic modelling and can contribute to scientific urban climate research (Stewart and Oke, 2012). Currently, remote sensing image-based mapping methods are widely adopted because they can effectively capture large-scale landscapes and are widely accessible (Bechtel et al., 2015). However, remote sensing images lack ground details that are critical for effective LCZ classification. Street-level images can capture such information, and previous works have also shown that they can contribute to LCZ mapping with information of ∗liaocai@whu.edu.cn †ray-rui.cao@polyu.edu.hk (Corresponding author) ‡qili.gao@ucl.ac.uk 1 | non_poster |

Косыгина, д. 4 *e-mail: o.v.gradov@gmail.com Ключевые слова: силикагель, скаффолды, остеорегенерация, максиллофациальная хирургия, QSAR, QSPR, поверхностные группы, материалы с программируемыми свойствами. Общеизвестно, что силикагель активно применяется в регенеративной медицине, инженерии скаффолдов (преимущественно – для остеорегенерации и максиллофациальной хирургии) [1-5]. Как правило, в работах подобного рода учитываются, прежде всего, (микро)механические свойства, пористость, микрошероховатость. Первые необходимы для имитации биомеханики кости, второе и третье – для обеспечения прорастания клеток. Однако имплантаты подобного рода обладают биоинертностью и биосовместимостью, но не являются активными, то есть не могут реализовывать функции, управляющие регенерацией ткани на биофизическом уровне / биохимическом уровне. Вместе с тем, учитывая электрогенный пьезоэлектрический характер стимуляции регенерации костной ткани, заряд поверхности / характер ионного обмена на ней также является важным. В связи с этим целесообразно использование модифицированных по характеру поверхности силикагелей для управления процессами регенерации (одновременно – контроля процессов, учитывая возможности селективной сорбции). Нами предлагается, как минимум, исходить из ионообменных, сорбционно-десорбционных и зарядовых критериев в ходе планирования эксперимента с подобными кандидатами на роль скаффолдов. Имеются, в комплексе, методы, позволяющие охарактеризовать их и найти оптимумы данных свойств. Модифицированные силикагели, в т.ч. Силасорбы, обладают отличными ионообменными характеристиками и пористостью, а также разными поверхностными группами и зарядовыми свойствами.

DESENVOLVIMENTO DE UM MODELO DE ORGANIZAÇÃO DE DADOS CIENTÍFICOS UTILIZANDO PRINCÍPIOS DE ORGANIZAÇÃO DO CONHECIMENTO DEVELOPMENT OF A SCIENTIFIC DATA ORGANIZATION MODEL USING KNOWLEDGE ORGANIZATION PRINCIPLES DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11175374 1 INTRODUÇÃO No âmbito das Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES), encontram-se os dados científicos, originários de diversos domínios dessas instituições. Esses domínios, na visão de Sales e Sayão (2018), são denominados de pequena ciência (small science), e constituem a “cauda longa” da ciência, vista como um grande número de pequenas equipes de pesquisadores e laboratórios independentes, os quais geram no seu dia a dia uma ampla variedade de coleções de dados de pesquisa. Entende-se que os dados advindos da “cauda longa” “[...] representam a maior parcela de dados produzidos pela ciência e constituem um território de constante criatividade e inovação que precisam ser revelados, integrados e compartilhados” (Sales; Sayão, 2018, p. 4184). Ao considerarmos a heterogeneidade e singularidade como atributos intrínsecos aos dados científicos, compreende-se que gerenciar os dados científicos mostra-se como uma tarefa desafiadora. Diante dos apontamentos mencionados, esta pesquisa endereça a seguinte questão: Quais instrumentos da Organização do Conhecimento podem auxiliar os líderes de pesquisa a fazerem uma gestão de dados mais efetiva?

Given its high compactness (Doi et al. 2006, PASJ 58, 829), inverted spectrum, and 0◦declination, the source was an ideal target to observe at 22 GHz with a Global VLBI array extending from Europe to East Asia and Australia. In order to deliver prompt results to be analysed in combination with the other instruments participating in the campaign, the observations were carried out with real time VLBI, for the first time on a Global scale. Indeed, the main results have been published just a few months after the campaign (Abdo et al. 2009, ApJ 707, 727).

Engineering Bacteria to Eat Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Plastic: A Sustainable Way of Plastic Bio-recycling Umar Abdulmutalib, Juhyun Kim, Manuel Salvador de Lara, Alice Banks, Claudio Avignone Rossa and Jose Jimenez PLASTICS AND POLLUTION 9.3 billion tonnes of plastic waste accumulated since 1950, 6.9 billion (74.2%) have not been collected (Schlossberg, 2017; Parker, 2018) and 14 million tonnes ended up in oceans yearly. 33 billion tons will accumulate by 2050 with PET as one of the major contributors. Methods We isolated environmental microbial strains feeding of PET plastic building blocks, among them were mesophilic and were engineered to produce plastic degrading enzymes in a way that they can break and assimilate plastic as food source. PET PET is an oil based thermoplastic and among the most widely used polymers (Carniel et al., 2017). PRODUCTION AND RECYCLING 41.56 million metric tonnes were produced in 2014 and 73.39 in 2020 (Statista, 2018). • Over half a trillion plastic bottles were sold in 2020 (Nace, 2017) One million plastic bottles are sold every minute, 91% not recycled only 6 out of the 9% recycled are reused KEY PET DEGRADING ENZYMES TfH from Thermobifida fusca DSM43793; TfCut1 and TfCut2 from Thermobifida fusca KW3, LC cutinase from a metagenome of plant compost; HiC from Thermomyces insolens; lipase B from Candida antarctica; TfCur from Thermonospora curvata and IsPETase from Ideonella sakaiensis. RSEULTS • When PET plastic was used to feed the engineered bacteria, an increase in their number (biomass) indicated that they utilized the plastic as their only food source. • There was a loss of 2.5% of PET with Acinetobacter schindleri LK1 producing LCC cutinase, 1.2% with Pseudomonas reinekei SH producing active TfCut2, and as well 1.5% loss when PET was used to feed Ralstonia insidiosa TS producing TfCur PET degrading enzyme CONCLUSION • Enzymes were expressed in active conformations confirmed by enhanced PCL assay • The resultant increase in biomass indicated the use of PET as food by the engineered isolates 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 Utilization of Terephthalic Acid as a Carbon Source by the Environmental Isolates at 35OC Time (Hrs) OD 600nm A. schindleri LK1 A. media LK2 R. pyridinivorans HM1 P. vancouverensis HM2 GS1 P. umsongensis GS P. reinekei SH R. insidiosa TS O. anthropi FS A.

УДК 347.13; (147.2Речове право) ДО ПИТАННЯ НЕДІЙСНОСТІ ТА ПРОТИПРАВНОСТІ ПРАВОПРИПИНЯЮЧИХ ЮРИДИЧНИХ ФАКТІВ У ФОРМІ ПРАВОЧИНІВ Коструба А. В. Таврійський національний університет ім.В. І. Вернадського, м. Сімферополь, Україна У статті досліджено особливості прояву недійсності правочину як правоприпиняючого юридичного фак- ту, обґрунтовано неможливість існування ознаки протиправності щодо недійсного правочину як правопри- пиняючого юридичного факту, доведено, що існування неправомірних правоприпиняючих юридичних фактів можливе виключно у формі цивільно-правового делікту. Ключові слова: правочин, юридичний факт, правоприпинення, правоприпиняючий юридичний факт, недійсність, протиправність. Питання оспорюваності та нікчемності правочинів завжди посідало важливе місце в наукових дослідженнях цивільного права. Це пояснюється фундаменталь- ністю категорії правочину, його роллю в цивільному обороті та механізмі правого регулювання. Але, водночас, не всі аспекти правочинів мають безспірний характер. До таких питань, зокрема, належить неправомірність недійсного правочину. Для того, щоб більш детально з'ясувати природу недійсного правочину й ознаку непра- вомірності, його можна розглянути з точки зору правоприпиняючих юридичних фактів, що дозволить з відносно нової позиції оцінити властивість недійсності пра- вочину та його протиправності. Питанню недійсності правочинів та юридичним фактам було присвячено праці таких вітчизняних і зарубіжних вчених, як Агарков М. М., Брагінський М. І., Бори- сова В. Б., Генкін Д. М., Жилінкова І. В., Зейкан Я. П., Кузнєцова Н. С., Красавчи- ков О. О., Крашенінніков Є. О., Міхно О. І., Новицький І. Б., Первомайський О. О., Сироткіна А. О., Шахматова В. П., Шевченко Я. М., Яроцький В. Л. та інших. Метою статті є аналіз властивості недійсності правочину як правоприпиняючо- го юридичного факту, особливості її прояву, а також співвідношення недійсності правочину та його протиправності. В межах поділу юридичних фактів-дій на юридичні акти й юридичні вчинки, правочини є основною формою юридичних актів, оскільки тісно пов’язані з волею суб’єкта як визначальною умовою його чинності. В юридичній літературі існує думка, згідно з якою норми права в усіх випадках встановлюють незаконність недійсних правочинів за винятком певної групи, до якої віднесені правочини, визначені законом як недійсні (насамперед нікчемні), однак із застереженням про те, що за певних умов такі правочини можуть бути визнані дійсними без можливості заперечення їх законності надалі [1, с. 111-112; 2, с. 76]. | non_poster |

Uso e riuso di dati per la valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale italiano online: buone pratiche per l’interoperabilità Chiara Aiola1, Giulia Fabbris2 1Net7, Italia – aiola@netseven.it 2Università Ca’ Foscari di Venezia, Italia – giulia.fabbris@unive.it ABSTRACT Con questo poster si intende presentare una riflessione sulla necessità di seguire standard e buone pratiche per lo sviluppo di progetti e l’inserimento di oggetti nell’ecosistema digitale al fine di creare risorse interoperabili in un’ottica collaborativa e di riuso. PAROLE CHIAVE Interoperabilità – riuso di dati – patrimonio culturale digitale – piano nazionale di digitalizzazione – principi FAIR 1. INTRODUZIONE Nonostante la fama che ormai vantano a livello internazionale, i principi FAIR non sembrano ancora alla base di molti progetti digitali. La scarsa osservanza di standard e linee guida, l’utilizzo di formati diversi e il limitato libero accesso alle risorse digitali prodotte sono grossi impedimenti per lo sviluppo di un vero e proprio ecosistema digitale del patrimonio culturale. Certamente esistono standard informatici così come linee guida per la codifica di oggetti digitali (TEI, DCMI), ma manca la volontà da parte di molti studiosi di integrare questi strumenti o “buone pratiche” nei loro progetti. È infatti necessario che le risorse prodotte siano interoperabili, poiché “[l]’ambiente digitale trova la propria essenza costitutiva nelle relazioni, ovvero nella possibilità di generare e rigenerare connessioni reciproche tra le informazioni, facilitando la produzione di nuovi significati” (PND:17). Al contrario, ogni progetto costituirebbe un’entità a sé stante senza possibilità di integrazione e di riuso. Anche la mancanza di un’infrastruttura informatica specificamente dedicata alla conservazione dei dati nell’ambito delle Digital Humanities spesso costituisce un ostacolo al reperimento dei dati. Si assiste spesso a un proliferare di progetti e piattaforme legati a specifici progetti che non espongono API per la condivisione dei dati (o se esistono non sono documentate), oppure si sceglie di utilizzare strumenti che non nascono propriamente per la conservazione di dati ma che consentono lo storage gratuito e persistente del materiale caricato, come repository su GitHub. Questa scelta da un lato tutela i ricercatori dal rischio di perdere il proprio lavoro e dall’impossibilità di sostenere costi di hosting, consente il libero accesso alle risorse, anche attraverso il sistema di API fornite dalla piattaforma, ma dall’altro non permette di avere strumenti specifici per strutturare i metadati o i file del progetto, rendendo quindi problematico un processo di automatizzazione dell’interpretazione dei dati (cf. sotto la creazione di un’infrastruttura del patrimonio culturale promossa dal Ministero della cultura nell’ambito del Piano Nazionale di Digitalizzazione). Un altro aspetto che è da tenere in grande considerazione è il concetto di obsolescenza. Le risorse analogiche sono deteriorabili, per questo è bene che vengano digitalizzate. Ma le risorse digitali o digitalizzate non sono meno soggette allo stesso destino, poiché la tecnologia è in continua evoluzione e linguaggi, software e hardware diventano obsoleti molto velocemente. Per andare incontro alla voce A2 dei principi FAIR1, i dati e i metadati devono poter essere recuperabili anche quando le piattaforme o i sistemi informatici utilizzati per la loro raccolta e visualizzazione vengono dismessi o le tecnologie usate diventano obsolete, e per fare ciò è necessario adottare modelli condivisi e controllati. Quanto evidenziato finora rientra nei primi tre punti di debolezza identificati dal Piano Nazionale di Digitalizzazione (PND) del Patrimonio Culturale circa lo stato attuale dell’ecosistema digitale italiano per il patrimonio culturale (PND:5). Con questo poster si intende quindi avanzare una riflessione sulla necessità di uniformità dei dati e sull’utilizzo di buone pratiche, elaborata a partire dai r | non_poster |

MOLECULAR NEUROENDOCRINOLOGY-CIPF Introduction & Aim Housekeeping genes are involved in the maintenance of basic cell functions and are used as calibration tools in gene expression studies. Their proper selection and validation in the particular studied conditions are key for the validity of the obtained results. In this study, we assess the expression profiles of six classical housekeeping genes and different collections of genes covered in the microarray transcriptomic data available at Gene Expression Omnibus database (GEO), to evaluate the stability of their expression in adipose tissue of human and mouse samples, taking into consideration the sex biological variable.

It could be appropriate to consider common reference genes suitable to both sexes. ●This approach allowed us to validate classical housekeeping genes that can be used when comparing both sexes (RPL19, PPIA and UBC), and we propose other genes that can also be used as a reference, such as RPS8, RPS18 and UBB. ●There is a need of including both sexes in the experimental designs of biomedical studies as it would make extensible to the whole population the knowledge generated. It would be interesting to incorporate the sex as an attribute in the sample records of public repositories. Systematic review and selection of the studies Figure 1.

Indeed, this approach instills emotional value into products, to satisfy human emotional needs. Combined with this is the fact that designers usually work outside their design office using pen and paper, since ideas are usually stimulated. Yet, designers lack mobile computer-aided sketching (CAS) tools which truly link paper-based sketching with computer-based 3D modelling tools. As a step in this direction, this poster presents a framework that extends CAS technology to cameraphones. Furthermore, this framework is capable of providing emotional guidance about a form concept to satisfy the emotional needs of the customer, directly on cameraphones. A proof-of-concept tool has been implemented and evaluated. Preliminary evaluation results with design engineers in the cosmetic cases industry, indicate the positive impact that technology based on the framework developed will have on DFe in practice. | non_poster |

Potencial y campo eléctrico generado por un anillo cargado F. E. Bueno Pascual1 M. A. López Mariño1,2 N. Aquino Aquino2 1Departamento de Ingeniería, ITESM-Campus Central de Veracruz, Córdoba, Veracruz 2Departamento de Física, UAM-Iztapalapa, México D.F. Versión 22, 2005 Resumen En los cursos elementales de electricidad es común ilustrar el cálculo del potencial y el campo eléctrico de una distribución uniforme de carga, usando ejemplos como el de una línea infinita de carga y el de un anillo cargado. En particular, el ejemplo del anillo cargado se restringe al cálculo del potencial y el campo eléctrico para puntos sobre el eje de simetría, ya que en este caso es posible obtener ambas cantidades físicas en forma analítica sencilla. Para puntos fuera del eje de simetría, el potencial eléctrico se expresa en términos de funciones elípticas, mientras que el campo eléctrico debe calcularse haciendo uso de métodos numéricos que están fuera del alcance de los estudiantes de los cursos elementales. Por esta razón, este problema es muy pocas veces abordado en los cursos elementales. En este trabajo obtenemos la expresión analítica para el potencial eléctrico, lo mostramos gráficamente y damos algunos valores numéricos del campo eléctrico para puntos fuera del eje de simetría de un anillo cargado usando el paquete Maple. También discutimos las ventajas pedagógicas de usar un enfoque de esta naturaleza. 1. Introducción El estudio de la Mecánica, la Electricidad y el Magnetismo son fundamentales para la formación de los estudiantes de las carreras de Física y de la mayoría de las Ingenierías. Para la electrostática, los conceptos de fuerza, campo y potenciales eléctricos resultan fundamentales. En los cursos elementales de electricidad y magnetismo, siempre ilustramos los conceptos antes mencionados con ejemplos sencillos que admiten soluciones analíticas, en términos de funciones elementales. Por otro lado, los problemas interesantes o que tienen aplicaciones prácticas tienen soluciones que resultan ser muy laboriosas y/o que requieren de conocimientos avanzados, como podrían ser los métodos matemáticos y el análisis numérico. En nuestras instituciones (ITESM-CCV y UAM-I) hemos tratado de salvar este obstáculo usando paquetes computacionales como Maple y Mathematica. Estos tipos de programas contienen una amplia biblioteca de funciones especiales, herramientas de cálculo algebraico y matricial, etc., pero tal vez lo más importante es su capacidad gráfica, ya que en una forma, por demás sencilla, nos permiten hacer gráficas de funciones escalares o de campos vectoriales, lo cual nos ha resultado de mucha utilidad en nuestros cursos de electricidad y magnetismo. En este trabajo, mostramos cómo podemos utilizar el programa Maple para calcular y visualizar el potencial y el campo eléctrico de un anillo cargado. | non_poster |
