FAIRsharing: curating an ecosystem of research standards and databasesAllyson Lister
FAIRsharing is an informative and educational resource on interlinked standards, databases and policies, three key elements of the FAIR ecosystem. FAIRsharing is adopted by funders, publishers and communities across all research disciplines. It promotes the existence and value of these resources to aid data sharing and consequently requires a high standard of curation to ensure accurate and timely information is provided for all of our stakeholder groups. Here we discuss the methods employed and challenges faced during curation and maintenance of existing content as well as the introduction of new features. We will describe how our curation team uses a blend of manual and semi-automated curation to work on individual records and across large subsets of the registry. We also will discuss the benefits of both in-house curation and community-driven curation provided by our stakeholder groups.
Data Innovation Spaces are identified by BDVA as a key instrument to foster the Data-Driven Innovation in Europe. They provide innovation and experimentation environments where companies in their respective ecosystems could have their data-driven and AI-related products and solutions piloted, tested, and exploited before going to the market. BDVA launches every year a process to identify and recognize relevant initiatives in Europe that meet specific quality criteria in infrastructures, services, projects, and sectors of application, ecosystem and sustainability (BDVA i-Spaces call for labels).
During this session, we will present the concept of BDVA i-Spaces (as it is reflected in the BDVA SRIA), the process and steps of i-Spaces labeling, the value proposition of being an i-Space and activities and examples of collaboration. The session will also include examples of first-hand experience from three recognized i-Spaces: ITAINNOVA (DIH Aragon), UPM, and Demokritos NCSR (aheed DIH).
This document summarizes a webinar about BDVA i-Spaces, which are data innovation spaces that foster data-driven innovation. The webinar discussed what i-Spaces are, their value in collaborating and connecting to other initiatives, and the process for obtaining an i-Space label. Experiences from several labelled i-Spaces were also shared. The goal of i-Spaces is to establish a network across Europe for testing, piloting and exploiting big data technologies and applications through technical and business support services. Obtaining the i-Space label recognizes quality and impacts spaces that connect existing initiatives and promote data-driven innovation.

It defines key GDPR concepts, explains how scientific research is defined under the regulation, and discusses the legal bases and purposes that can justify data processing for research. It also addresses how data subject rights may be limited for research purposes, and analyzes several cases involving issues like data sharing, further processing of data, and handling of health and publicly available data in the context of research.

It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
