Abstract
Positronium (Ps) imaging is getting attention for nuclear medicine applications, but appropriate radionuclides have not been evaluated systematically. This paper investigated the use of 124I, which is a positron emitter with 603 keV prompt gamma ray emission with a fraction of 11.7%. The accuracy of positron annihilation lifetime measurement with 124I was compared with 22Na, which is often used in positron annihilation lifetime measurement, for certified reference materials. Results obtained with TOF-PET detectors suggested that the accuracy of the lifetime value estimation was slightly worse than that for 22Na, while the positron annihilation lifetime measurement using 124I was a feasible choice.
Decarbonizing integrated chlor-alkali and vinyl chloride monomer production: Reducing the cost with industrial flexibility
Authors: Foslie Sverre Stefanussen , Straus Julian , Knudsen Brage Rugstad , Korpås Magnus 
Published: October 2023

<p>Industrial demand response will become increasingly important in power grids with high shares of variable renewables, yet the existing knowledge on how the industrial electricity demand and flexibility will change with the decarbonization of chemical processes is limited. Here we develop a mixed-integer linear optimization model, which we use to compare the cost and flexibility of the most relevant decarbonization options for the combined chlor-alkali electrolysis (CAE) and vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) production process. We combine product and energy storage to enable the full flexibility potential of the decarbonized process. Our results show that flexible operation of the CAE process is deemed technically possible but limited by internal process dependencies due to decarbonization of the VCM production. Combining energy and product storage for demand response enables up to 4% operational cost reduction by shifting loads during peak price hours. High overcapacity of PEM electrolyzers are required to release the full flexibility potential in the hydrogen based decarbonization option, while the less flexible direct electrification option shows a potential for OPEX reduction. Full decarbonization of the combined CAE and VCM process without increasing operational cost significantly appears difficult. Our study emphasizes demand response through product and energy storages as a viable pathway for minimizing the added cost, and also enables a significant reduction of electric demand in high-price hours. </p>
Layout Optimization for Photovoltaic Panels in Solar Power Plants via a MINLP Approach
Authors: Mignoni Nicola , Carli Raffaele , Dotoli Mariagrazia 
Published: October 2023

<p>Photovoltaic (PV) technology is one of the most popular means of renewable generation, whose applications range from commercial and residential buildings to industrial facilities and grid infrastructures. The problem of determining a suitable layout for the PV arrays, on a given deployment region, is generally non-trivial and has a crucial importance in the planning phase of solar plants design and development. In this paper, we provide a mixed integer non-linear programming formulation of the PV arrays' layout problem. </p>
<p>First, we define the astronomical and geometrical models, considering crucial factors such as self-shadowing and irradiance variability, depending on the geographical position of the solar plant and yearly time window. Subsequently, we formalize the mathematical optimization problem, whose constraints' set is characterized by non-convexities. In order to propose a computationally tractable approach, we provide a tight parametrized convex relaxation. The resulting optimization resolution procedure is tested numerically, using realistic data, and benchmarked against the traditional global resolution approach, showing that the proposed methodology yields near-optimal solutions in lower computational time.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><em><strong>Note to Practitioners</strong></em><em>:</em></p>
<p>The paper is motivated by the need for efficient algorithmic procedures which can yield near-optimal solutions to the PV arrays layout problem. Due to the strong non-convexity of even simple instances, the existing methods heavily rely on global or stochastic solvers, which are computationally demanding, both in terms of resources and run-time. Our approach acts as a baseline, from which practitioners can derive more elaborate instances, by suitably modifying both the objective function and/or the constraints. In fact, we focus on the minimum set of necessary geometrical (e.g., arrays position model), astronomical (e.g., irradiance variation), and operational (e.g., power requirements) constraints which make the overall problem hard. The Appendices provide a guideline for suitably choosing the optimization parameters.

Published: October 2023

<p>By providing important benefits such as reducing primary energy consumption, improving environmental conditions, and increasing resilience of energy supply, integrated local energy communities (ILECs) represent a viable option to centralized energy systems for fostering decarbonization, thanks to the exploitation of synergies coming from different energy carries beyond electricity and the active involvement of end-users through a collegial approach. To achieve these benefits, the optimisation of ILECs design and operation is as crucial as it is challenging. This paper presents the results from an activity of the eNeuron H2020 project (Nov 2020-Oct. 2024, ID: 957779), and aims to present an innovative toolbox for the optimal design and operation of ILECs integrating multiple energy carriers at different scales and considering different time horizons from long-term system planning to real-time operation. To achieve the short- and long-term sustainability of this new energy paradigm, a multi-objective economic-environmental approach is proposed, whereby a peer-to-peer market is established to promote end-users’ active involvement while guaranteeing that they are aligned with the overall ILEC’s objectives.</p>

<p>Today, the most feasible and easy form of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is the use of mobile applications. Mobile applications have become an integral part of our day-to-day lives reaching out to each corner of society and caters to the problems. The applications available are customized, but the incorporation of intelligence especially for the disabled to assist their lives is absent. This motivates the research work specified in this paper is non-commercial application development for society. Designing applications that are highly scalable and intelligent to minimize problems faced by differently-abled , is explicitly covered here. The proposed system makes use of Speech-To-Text and Text-To-Speech conversion techniques for back end and provides enhanced scalability by allowing users to regulate the functionality of the application, customized based on their preferred region, topic and time stamps. Applications and devices meant for the differently-abled do exist, however, most of them have unidirectional and singular functionality with minimum customizability. In most cases, very complicated hardware systems are associated with the proposed work which in turn makes it expensive to maintain. The proposed application aims to offer voice-based functionality automation, remote health monitoring, and pattern recognition for recommendation systems, explicitly for the visually impaired and the solitary elderly The reading of remote health monitoring is close to the actual value with a standard deviation of 1.45% or 0.76 on the average. </p>
Improving biomarker selection for cancer subtype classification through multi-objective optimization
Authors: Cattelani Luca , Ghosh Arindam , Rintala Teemu , Fortino Vittorio 
Published: October 2023

<p>The current ML-driven approaches for omics-driven biomarker discovery often result in panels that are not reproducible in external validation datasets, and their optimization in terms of feature set size remains unsolved, which jeopardizes their translation into cost-effective clinical tools. The present study investigates how to optimize the feature set size by testing six algorithms on eight large-scale transcriptomics datasets for breast, lung, renal, and ovarian cancer. Most importantly, we propose a new evaluation metric called Cross Hypervolume (CHV) to assess the performance of multi-objective feature selection algorithms on both training and test datasets. CHV is an improvement over other metrics as it considers the trade-off between classification accuracy and the size of the selected features. The CHV metric allows for better assessment of biomarker models and helps to select the most accurate and biologically relevant ones. </p>

To increase productivity, new types of beans that present different characteristics, such as higher grain yieldare necessary. The cultivar RS Centenário is the result of a selection carried out in 2007 using the “Iraí” cultivar, in a plot of genetic seed production. In the 2008 crop season, the seeds of the selected plants originated a segregant population. In 2009, the mass selection was carried out again. After two advancing generations, the phenotypic uniformity of the population was reached and the seeds were harvested in bulk. After several tests, the “SM 0112” lineage was denominated cultivar “RS Centenário” and the results of the assessed at a value for cultivation and use (VCU) trials were used to register the new cultivar. “RS Centenário” was registered as a new cultivar to be commercially grown in the Rio Grande do Sul state (RS), in southern Brazil. “RS Centenário” is a common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivar with a brindle seed coat, average weight of 1,000 seeds of 343 g, erect plants, indeterminate growth habit II/III, cycle of 88 days, high added value and average yield of 1,685 kg ha-1.
Bound to a spider without its web: Task-type modulates the retrieval of affective information in subsequent responses
Authors: Schöpper Lars-Michael , Jerusalem Alicia , Lötzke Lisann , Frings Christian 
Published: October 2023

AbstractAction control theories assume that upon responding to a stimulus response and stimulus features are integrated into a short episodic memory trace; repeating any component spurs on retrieval, affecting subsequent performance. The resulting so-called “binding effects” are reliably observed in discrimination tasks. In contrast, in localization performance, these effects are absent and only inhibition of return (IOR) emerges – a location change benefit. Affective information has been found to modulate binding effects; yet a modulation of IOR has led to mixed results, with many finding no influence at all. In the current study, participants discriminated letters (Experiment 1) or localized dots (Experiment 2) on a touchpad in prime-probe sequences. During the prime display two images – one with fruits and one with a spider – appeared, one of which spatially congruent with the to-be-touched area. In the discrimination task, previously touching a spider compared to a fruit slowed down response repetitions. In contrast, the localization task only showed IOR. This suggests that task-irrelevant valence is integrated with the response and affects subsequent responses due to retrieval. However, this is not ubiquitous but depends on task type. The results shed further light on the impact of affective information on actions.

Published: October 2023

Abstract. In Indonesia, mustard plants will increase by 8.2% in 2021, but more than that is needed to meet the community's needs due to a growing population. Pests and fertilization problems hinder expected growth. The provision of plant fertilizers can be replaced through the application of sound. Exposure sounds to plants can increase plant growth by opening stomata, improving water absorption, and increasing plant nutrient uptake. This study aimed to examine the application of sound effects and refugia plants t890po increase the growth and yield of mustard greens (Brassica juncea L.). The study used a Time's Series Randomized Block Design with 3 replications. The first factor is sound applications (S) consisting of S0 = without sound, S1 = rock music (Frequency 21-14,000 Hz), and S2 = classical sound (Frequency 21-14,000 Hz). The second factor is the refugia plant (R) consisting of R0 = without refugia, R1 = Tagetes erecta L., R2 = Zinnia elegans L, and R3 = Ocimum bassilicum L. The application of classical sound frequency (20-14,000 Hz) affects the growth process of mustard plants through the increase in plant height (14.5%), leaf area (20.92%), wet weight (3.5%), dry weight (26.41%), total chlorophyll (11.62%) and plant N content (31.03%). Meanwhile, rock music frequency (20-14,000 Hz) can increase plant height (2.97%), leaf area (19.11%), and total stomata (9.6%). Refugia plants affect the process of plant protection through their ability to attract pests in the research area.
