We present a novel algorithm to identify potential dispersed signals of new physics in the slew of published LHC results. It employs a random walk algorithm to introduce sets of new particles, dubbed "proto-models", which are tested against simplified-model results from ATLAS and CMS (exploiting the SModelS software framework). A combinatorial algo...
The understanding of the antineutrino production in fission and the theoretical calculation of their energy spectra in different types of fission reactors rely on the application of the summation method, where the individual contributions from the different radioactive nuclides that undergo a beta decay are estimated and summed up. The most accurat...

The National Association of School Nurses' (NASN's) data initiative The National School Health Data Set: Every Student Counts! (Every Student Counts!) is getting a new platform! This article reviews what Every Student Counts! is and shares some of the new features of the platform. For more information on NASN's initiative and to learn how school nu...
Data exchange in transboundary waters is fundamental to advance cooperative water management. Nonetheless, the degree to which data are shared is not well understood. To gauge this degree, an assessment framework was developed and applied in 25 international river basins. The framework captures the degree to which a set of data parameters is exchan...
The main objective of this study of the European Migration Network is to provide objective and reliable information about the data management in the asylum procedure in Luxembourg. The Luxembourgish Asylum Law foresees a centralised and streamlined asylum system with one single national authority for registering, lodging and examining applications ...
This working paper was prepared under a development and conservation project – Societal Development and Ecosystems Conservation in Sahelian Wetlands (SAWEL) – focusing on improving food security and nutrition in the Sahel region by helping to safeguard wetlands through ecologically sustainable agricultural water management. SAWEL is supported by th...

In human nutrition randomized controlled trials (RCTs), planning, and careful execution of clinical data collection and management are vital for producing valid and reliable results. In this article, we provide an overview of best practices for biospecimen collection and analyses, and for the fundamentals of clinical data management, including prep...

The ATLAS EventIndex was designed in 2012-2013 to provide a global event catalogue and limited event-level metadata for ATLAS analysis groups and users during the LHC Run 2 (2015-2018). It provides a good and reliable service for the initial use cases (mainly event picking) and several additional ones, such as production consistency checks, duplica...

ATLAS Metadata Interface (AMI) is a generic software ecosystem for metadata aggregation, transformation and cataloguing. Benefiting from about 20 years of feedback in the LHC context, the second major version was released in 2018. This paper describes how to install and administrate AMI version 2. A particular focus is given to the registration of ...
