Mean, standard deviation, and percentiles of the schema and domain scores of the German version of the Young Schema Questionnaire - Short Form 3 (YSQ-S3) in a German opportunity sample (n=1,150). Details are reported in: Kriston L, Schäfer J, Jacob GA, Härter M, Hölzel LP. Reliability and validity of the German version of the Young Schema Questionnaire - Short Form 3 (YSQ-S3). Eur J Psychol Assess 2013; 29: 205-212. IMPORTANT: This is an opportunity sample that is not representative of any well-defined population. Accordingly, the values should not be used as reference or norm values for the German version of the YSQ-S3.

Interspecific coprophagia by wild red foxes: DNA metabarcoding reveals a potentially widespread form of commensalism among animals

Vertebrate animals are known to consume other species' faeces, yet the role of such coprophagy in species dynamics remains unknown, not least due to the methodological challenges of documenting it. In a large-scale metabarcoding study of red fox and pine marten scats, we document a high occurrence of domestic dog DNA in red fox scats and investigate if it can be attributed to interspecific coprophagia. We tested whether experimental artifacts or other sources of DNA could account for dog DNA, regressed dog occurrence in the diet of fox against that of the fox' main prey, short-tailed field voles, and consider whether predation or scavenging could explain the presence of dog DNA. Additionally, we determined the calorific value of dog faeces through calorimetric explosion. The high occurrence of dog DNA in the diet of fox, the timing of its increase, and the negative relationship between dog and the fox's main prey, point to dog faeces as the source of DNA in fox scats. Dog faeces being highly calorific, we found that foxes, but not pine martens, regularly exploit them, seemingly as an alternative resource to fluctuating prey. Scattered accounts from the literature may suggest that interspecific coprophagia is a potentially frequent and widespread form of interaction among vertebrates. However, further work should address its prevalence in other systems as well as the implications for ecological communities. Tools such as metabarcoding offer a way forward.

Hunting for vampires and other unlikely forms of parity violation at the Large Hadron Collider: truth-jet and reco-jet datasets

All truth-jet and reco-jet datasets used in the <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.09876">paper</a>. Main: fragments are named `truth-jet_${MODEL}.tar.gz`, where MODEL is either `pv_msme_${lambdaPV}` (PV-mSME and lambdaPV is a floating point number with "." replaced with "p"), or `sm` for the Standard Model (lambdaPV = 0). Within each are three directories for the independent splits: <ul> <li>train,</li> <li>test, and</li> <li>private_test.</li> </ul>  In the paper, we describe "test" as the validation set and "private_test" as the test set. Data in "private_test" were not used until models were finalized for the paper. Within each of those are the processed results from simulations with different random seeds. They are independent shards which can be trivially combined. Each data file is in <a href="https://www.h5py.org/">h5</a> format. Its data are under the key "events" as an array with shape (n, 20). That last axis contains the reconstructed four-momenta of the hardest five jets in the order [Px, Py, Pz, E] * 5, with missing jets filled with zeros. Truth-jet files have additional keys "flavors" and "helicities". These contain truth-level flavour and helicity information, respectively. Their shape is (n, 5), where the last axis contains the zero-padded results. Flavours are encoded in the PDG ID scheme. Rotated: Rotated PV-mSME data are in archives named `truth-jet-rot_${HOUR}.tar.gz`. These have similar (train, test, private_test) structures as the others, but comprise parts of the same mixed model and should be combined by subsampling to a weighted average. HOUR is an integer rotation in [0, 23] for which the detector is rotated by an angle given in radians as HOUR * 2 pi / 24. This rotated dataset has lambdaPV=1. We demonstrate merging of these datasets in the code sharing (<a href="https://github.com/Rupt/paper-hunting-vampires">git</a>, <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6827723">Zenodo</a>).

Hunting for vampires and other unlikely forms of parity violation at the Large Hadron Collider: calo-image datasets for the standard model

An example calo-image dataset used in the <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.09876">paper</a>: standard model. Each shard is named `calo-image_sm_${DATASET}_${INDEX}.tar.gz`. Each contains one data file. DATASET is in {train,test,private_test} to label the three independent splits for training, validation, and testing respectively. INDEX labels separate batches which should be trivially combined. Each data file is in <a href="https://www.h5py.org/">h5</a> format. Its data are under the key "entries" as an array with shape (n, 32, 32) corresponding to (event_index, eta, phi) for the n calorimeter images in an unrolled eta--phi surface.
