It is essential for the strategy of open access self-archiving that scientific authors are given comprehensive information on publisher copyright policies. DINI, the German Initiative for Networked Information, has developed a German (and potentially multilingual) interface to the English SHERPA/RoMEO service to provide additional information on German publishers' open access policies. As a nex...

Many real-world planning problems require one to solve a series of similar planning tasks. In this case, replanning can be much faster than planning from scratch. In this paper, we introduce a novel replanning method for symbolic planning with heuristic search-based planners, currently the most popular planners. Our SHERPA replanner is not only the first heuristic search-based replanner but, di...

In the past decades, event generators such as PYTHIA [1, 2] and HERWIG [3, 4] have been central for nearly all physics analyses at particle physics experiments at the high-energy frontier. This will also hold true at the LHC, where a large number of interesting signals for new particles or new phenomena (the Higgs boson or any other manifestation of the mechanism behind electro-weak symmetry br...

Although significant progress has been made in Europe regarding air quality, problems still remain acute for some pollutants, notably NO2 and Particulate Matter (fine and coarse fractions) in specific regions/cities. One issue regarding air quality management is governance, i.e. the selection of appropriate and cost effective strategies over the area controlled by policy makers. In this work we...

Abstract Modern machine learning methods offer great potential for increasing the efficiency of Monte Carlo event generators. We present latest developments in context SHERPA generation framework. These include phase space sampling amended by normalizing flows and a new unweighting procedure based on neural-network surrogates full matrix elements. discuss corresponding general construction crit...

We present a fully automated framework as part of the Sherpa event generator for the computation of tree-level cross sections in Beyond Standard Model scenarios, making use of model information given in the Universal FeynRules Output format. Elementary vertices are implemented into C++ code automatically and provided to the matrix-element generator Comix at runtime. Widths and branching ratios ...

Key points Iron acts as a cofactor in the stabilization of hypoxic-inducible factor family, and plays an influential role modulation hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. It is uncertain whether iron regulation altered lowlanders during either (1) ascent to high altitude, or (2) following partial acclimatization, when compared high-altitude adapted Sherpa. During 5050 m, rise artery systolic pres...
