The bright future of particle physics at the Energy and Intensity frontiers poses exciting challenges to the scientific software community. The traditional strategies for processing and analysing ...data are evolving in order to (i) offer higher-level programming model approaches and (ii) exploit parallelism to cope with the ever increasing complexity and size of the datasets. This contribution describes how the ROOT framework, a cornerstone of software stacks dedicated to particle physics, is preparing to provide adequate solutions for the analysis of large amount of scientific data on parallel architectures. The functional approach to parallel data analysis provided with the ROOT TDataFrame interface is then characterised. The design choices behind this new interface are described also comparing with other widely adopted tools such as Pandas and Apache Spark. The programming model is illustrated highlighting the reduction of boilerplate code, composability of the actions and data transformations as well as the capabilities of dealing with different data sources such as ROOT, JSON, CSV or databases. Details are given about how the functional approach allows transparent implicit parallelisation of the chain of operations specified by the user. The progress done in the field of distributed analysis is examined. In particular, the power of the integration of ROOT with Apache Spark via the PyROOT interface is shown. In addition, the building blocks for the expression of parallelism in ROOT are briefly characterised together with the structural changes applied in the building and testing infrastructure which were necessary to put them in production.
This document summarizes the status of data preservation in high energy physics. The paradigms and the methodological advances are discussed from a perspective of more than ten years of experience ...with a structured effort at international level. The status and the scientific return related to the preservation of data accumulated at large collider experiments are presented, together with an account of ongoing efforts to ensure long-term analysis capabilities for ongoing and future experiments. Transverse projects aimed at generic solutions, most of which are specifically inspired by open science and FAIR principles, are presented as well. A prospective and an action plan are also indicated.

The system Bi2(n + 2)MonO6(n + 1) is described within the superspace formalism. Two superspace models are proposed for the different members of this family, depending on the parity of the parameter ...n. The superspace model for the odd members is constructed through the embedding of the cationic distribution of the member with n = 3, and the modification of a superspace model previously proposed for the compound Bi2MoO6. However, this model cannot be applied to the even members of the family. Performing the appropriate transformations, a suitable superspace model for the even members is obtained. The atomic structure of the different compounds of the family have been refined through the Rietveld method combining synchrotron X‐ray and neutron powder diffraction data.

The aim of this study was to examine the independent effect of high lean mass on glucose metabolism, as well as its consequences on the classic relationship between BMI and insulin sensitivity (SI) ...in 3 groups: 1) 8 strength-trained males with BMI >27 kg/m2 (athletes); 2) 10 sedentary males with BMI >27 kg/m2 (obese); and 3) 12 sedentary males with BMI 22-25 kg/m2 (control). Body composition was measured with impedance analysis. Iv glucose tolerance test was performed at 09:00 h after overnight fast. Estimation of insulin sensitivity and glucose effectiveness by Minimal Model Approach. Plasma glucose and insulin determination by glucose-oxidase and RIA respectively. BMI and lean mass (LM) were greater in athletes than in controls, but there were no differences in fat mass (FM), basal glucose (Gb), basal insulin (Ib), glucose tolerance (Kg), SI, glucose effectiveness (Sg), acute insulin response to glucose (AIRG) and leptin. Obese showed greater FM, leptin, lb and AIRG than athletes, while SI was lower; BMI, LM, Gb, Kg and Sg were similar. BMI, FM, LM, Ib, AIRG and leptin were lower in controls than in obese, while SI index was greater; Gb, Sg and Kg were similar. We found that: 1) Resistance exercise does not modify glucose effectiveness, but can improve insulin sensitivity through FM reduction (LM augmentation alone has no effect on glucose metabolism); and 2) High BMI causes insulin resistance only if it depends on adipose tissue hypertrophy.
