description: Coulomb drag-induced ion current flow is reported, achieved through coupling of electronic charge carriers along the lattice of a narrow single-walled carbon nanotube to electrolytic charge within the confines of the nanotube. Solid-state electrical contacts to the nanotube induce ion transport through it in the absence of an axial electric field; in the presence of such a field, the device behaves as an n-type ionic transistor. Ionic currents as high as 1nA have been recorded without alternate driving forces. Asymmetric functionalization of single walled carbon nanotube end groups further enhances the rectifying behavior of the device, yielding a current rectification ratio as high as 10 at moderate axial field strengths. By achieving ion pumping through a solid-state electrical input, the system offers promising solutions to nanoscale applications including purification, drug delivery, and desalination.

description: As the complexity of neural network models has grown, it has become increasingly important to optimize their design automatically through metalearning. Methods for discovering hyperparameters, topologies, and learning rate schedules have lead to significant increases in performance. This paper shows that loss functions can be optimized with metalearning as well, and result in similar improvements. The method, Genetic Loss-function Optimization (GLO), discovers loss functions de novo, and optimizes them for a target task. Leveraging techniques from genetic programming, GLO builds loss functions hierarchically from a set of operators and leaf nodes. These functions are repeatedly recombined and mutated to find an optimal structure, and then a covariance-matrix adaptation evolutionary strategy (CMA-ES) is used to find optimal coefficients. Networks trained with GLO loss functions are found to outperform the standard cross-entropy loss on standard image classification tasks. Training with these new loss functions requires fewer steps, results in lower test error, and allows for smaller datasets to be used. Loss-function optimization thus provides a new dimension of metalearning, and constitutes an important step towards AutoML.
Cognitive dissonance in evidence‐based sustainability policy? Reflections based on governance

description: Evidence‐based policy making has become popular in political circles, as it promises an indisputable, ‘true’ knowledge base for policies. The call for more ‘evidence’ is especially loud in environmental and sustainability politics. This is in sharp contrast with the much lower level of certainty that social sciences consider realistic with regards to the politics of complex, disputed, so‐called ‘wicked’ problems of the sustainability agenda. At the same time, sustainability scientists have understood the reality of political marketing and strive/pretend to produce more certainty than is scientifically sound, in order to get policy makers to act. The question is why many governments seem to favour ‘evidence‐based’ policymaking for sustainability challenges, whereas they know that this can lead to taking decisions which do not take into account uncertainty and unpredictability. In the same way predictions of economists are used as evidence although they often turn out to be wrong. Both can lead to large societal costs. What are the reasons for such collective cognitive dissonance? Is it because the costs of unwise decisions will be often later and elsewhere? An answer can be found in those strands of governance theory that acknowledge the normative dimension of governance practices and propose mechanisms for dealing with normative and cognitive tensions, such as metagovernance and transgovernance theory. I argue that the popularity of using the metaphor ‘evidence’ for knowledge is a function of the culture and traditions of administrative organisations and their political leaders. The culture and traditions are expressed in the predominant application of a governance approach with a specific appreciation of what usable knowledge or ‘evidence’ is. The paper concludes with first recommendations for improving the evidence base for political decision‐making with regard to sustainable development, and questions for further research.
Electricity Market Reforms and Renewable Energy: The Case of Wind and Solar in Brazil

description: This dissertation investigates the relationship between electricity market reforms and the development of renewable energy through interviews with policymakers, energy experts, and industry representatives in Brazil. Within the context of market-oriented power reforms initiated in the 1990s, policymakers have attempted to diversify the energy supply and reduce the country’s reliance on hydroelectric power. However, Brazil’s pre-existing hydropower infrastructure has hindered the diffusion of alternative options. By looking at energy auctions and net-metering regulations for wind and solar energy, this research explores the role of independent regulators in facilitating the development of non-hydro renewable sources of energy. While academic and policy debates center on designing public support schemes for renewable energy, this research argues that adaptive regulation can provide opportunities for new technologies that policy instruments alone are unable to achieve. In particular, the governance characteristics of regulatory agencies are critical to the effective articulation of renewable energy policies. Three subnational case studies further demonstrate how states and regions contribute to developing and deploying wind and solar energy technologies.
Electrochemical Camera Chip for Simultaneous Imaging of Multiple Metabolites in Biofilms

Subjects: Electrical engineering

description: Despite advances in monitoring spatiotemporal expression patterns of genes and proteins with fluorescent probes, direct detection of metabolites and small molecules remains challenging. Here we present an integrated circuit-based electrochemical camera chip capable of simultaneous spatial imaging of multiple redox-active metabolites, called phenazines, produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 colony biofilms. Imaging of mutants with various capacities for phenazine production reveals local patterns of phenazine distribution in the biofilms. Such integrated circuit-based techniques promise wide applicability in detecting redox-active species from diverse biological samples.

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF GAS HYDRATES FORMED FROM H2S AND CH4 UNDER VARIOUS CONDITIONS

description: Shallow marine gas hydrates occurring above the Sulfate-Methane-Interface (SMI) often contain small amounts of H2S beside methane and other hydrocarbons, but the distribution of H2S in these natural samples is not always homogeneous. To learn more about the formation of H2Scontaining hydrates, gas hydrates with different ratios of H2S/CH4 were synthesized under various conditions. The samples were synthesized from ice and water phases, with constant feed gas compositions or controlled changes in feed gas compositions. It turns out that the detailed nature of the synthetic hydrate samples depends on the method of sample preparation. The sample prepared with gas containing small amounts of H2S (1% H2S and 99% CH4) appeared homogeneous in composition, while that prepared in a water-H2S-CH4 system with higher H2S contents was heterogeneous. The samples were analysed with Raman spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
DETECTION OF METHANE SOURCES ALONG THE CALIFORNIA CONTINENTAL MARGIN USING WATER COLUMN ANOMALIES
Creators: name: Ussler III, William
name: Paull, Charles K.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Water column methane measurements have been used to understand both the global distribution of methane in the oceans and the local flux of methane from geologic sources on the continental margins, including methane vents and gas-hydrate-bearing sites. We have measured methane concentrations in 1607 water samples collected along the central California continental margin. Methane supersaturation of the surface mixed layer (0-50 msbsl) is widespread and above a well-defined subsurface particle maximum (~50 mbsl) that generally corresponds with the pycnocline. Local production of methane appears to be occurring in the surface mixed layer above the particle maximum and may not be particle-associated. Methane concentrations in water column CTD cast profiles and ROV-collected bottom waters obtained in Partington, Hueneme, Santa Monica, and Redondo submarine canyons increase towards the seafloor and are distinctly higher (up to 186 nM) compared to open-slope and shelf waters at similar depths. These values are in excess of measured surface water methane concentrations and could not be generated by mixing with surface water. Elevated methane concentrations in these submarine canyons and persistent mid-water methane anomalies in Ascension and Ano Nuevo Canyons could result from restricted circulation and/or proximity to gas vents, seafloor exposure of methane gas hydrates, recently-eroded methane-rich sediment, submarine discharge of methane-rich groundwater, or particle-associated methane production. On the Santa Barbara shelf water column methane profiles near known gas vents also increase in concentration with increasing depth. Thus, elevated bottom water methane concentrations observed in submarine canyons may not be diagnostic of proximity to methane vents and may be caused by other processes.

description: Classic measures of graph centrality capture distinct aspects of node importance, from the local (e.g., degree) to the global (e.g., closeness). Here we exploit the connection between diffusion and geometry to introduce a multiscale centrality measure. A node is defined to be central if it breaks the metricity of the diffusion as a consequence of the effective boundaries and inhomogeneities in the graph. Our measure is naturally multiscale, as it is computed relative to graph neighbourhoods within the varying time horizon of the diffusion. We find that the centrality of nodes can differ widely at different scales. In particular, our measure correlates with degree (i.e., hubs) at small scales and with closeness (i.e., bridges) at large scales, and also reveals the existence of multi-centric structures in complex networks. By examining centrality across scales, our measure thus provides an evaluation of node importance relative to local and global processes on the network.

description: This book looks at some phenomena within the grammar of the noun phrase in a group of traditional North Germanic varieties mainly spoken in Sweden and Finland, usually seen as Swedish dialects, although the differences between them and Standard Swedish are often larger than between the latter and the other standard Mainland Scandinavian languages. In addition to being conservative in many respects – e.g. in preserving nominal cases and subject- verb agreement – these varieties also display many innovative features. These include extended uses of definite articles, incorporation of attributive adjectives, and a variety of possessive constructions. Although considerable attention has been given to these phenomena in earlier literature, this book is the first to put them in the perspective of typology and grammaticalization processes. It also looks for a plausible account of the historical origin of the changes involved, arguing that many of them spread from central Sweden, where they were later reverted due to the influence from prestige varieties coming from southern Scandinavia.

description: Emerging technologies are demanding innovative properties of glasses. In this work, Cerium Oxide is used as a dopant in Zinc-Tellurite samples and its effects on the properties of the glass are investigated. Thermal analysis and x-ray diffraction confirmed the amorphous nature of all samples. The bivalent nature of Cerium is investigated spectroscopically and a strong redshift induced by the dopant is attributed to charge transfers O$^{2-}{\rightarrow}$Ce$^{4+}$, while the 4f-5d transition of Ce$^{3+}$ could not be identified in absorption or luminescence measurements. Yellow/red (570/650 nm) emission under 405/450 nm pumping were observed and are originated from Te$^{4+}$ ions, which absorbs light in the UV/blue region of the spectrum. The incorporation of some Cerium Oxide enhanced the visible luminescence, though we found no evidence that Cerium ions play some role in the radiative process. The luminescence is enhanced though due changes in the glass network induced by the dopant.

description: As the population ages, it is increasingly important to detect non-normative cognitive declines as early as possible. Measures of combined sensory–motor–cognitive functioning may be early markers for identifying individuals who are at increased risk of developing dementia. Further, older adults experiencing subjective cognitive decline (SCD) may have elevated risk of dementia compared to those without SCD. Tasks involving complex, multisensory interactions reflective of everyday challenges may be particularly sensitive to subjectively perceived, pre-clinical declines. In the current study, older adults with and without SCD were asked to simultaneously perform a standing balance task and a listening task under increasingly challenging sensory/cognitive/motor conditions using a dual-task paradigm in a realistic, immersive virtual environment. It was hypothesized that, compared to older adults without SCD, those with SCD would exhibit greater decrements in postural control and listening response accuracy as sensory/motor/cognitive loads increased. However, counter to predictions, older adults with SCD demonstrated greater reductions in postural sway under more challenging dual-task conditions than those without SCD. Across both groups, poorer postural task performance was associated with poorer cognitive function and speech-in-noise thresholds measured with standard baseline tests. Poorer listening task performance was associated with poorer global cognitive function, poorer mobility, and poorer speech-in-noise detection. Overall, the results provide additional support for the growing evidence demonstrating associations between sensory, motor, and cognitive functioning and contribute to an evolving consideration of how best to categorize and characterize SCD in a way that guides strategies for screening, assessment, and intervention.

description: Speech anonymisation aims to protect speaker identity by changing personal identifiers in speech while retaining linguistic content. Current methods fail to retain prosody and unique speech patterns found in elderly and pathological speech domains, which is essential for remote health monitoring. To address this gap, we propose a voice conversion-based method (DDSP-QbE) using differentiable digital signal processing and query-by-example. The proposed method, trained with novel losses, aids in disentangling linguistic, prosodic, and domain representations, enabling the model to adapt to uncommon speech patterns. Objective and subjective evaluations show that DDSP-QbE significantly outperforms the voice conversion state-of-the-art concerning intelligibility, prosody, and domain preservation across diverse datasets, pathologies, and speakers while maintaining quality and speaker anonymity. Experts validate domain preservation by analysing twelve clinically pertinent domain attributes.

description: An outstanding question in X-ray single particle imaging experiments has been the feasibility of imaging sub 10-nm-sized biomolecules under realistic experimental conditions where very few photons are expected to be measured in a single snapshot and instrument background may be significant relative to particle scattering. While analyses of simulated data have shown that the determination of an average image should be feasible using Bayesian methods such as the EMC algorithm, this has yet to be demonstrated using experimental data containing realistic non-isotropic instrument background, sample variability and other experimental factors. In this work, we show that the orientation and phase retrieval steps work at photon counts diluted to the signal levels one expects from smaller molecules or with weaker pulses, using data from experimental measurements of 60-nm PR772 viruses. Even when the signal is reduced to a fraction as little as 1/256, the virus electron density determined using ab initio phasing is of almost the same quality as the high-signal data. However, we are still limited by the total number of patterns collected, which may soon be mitigated by the advent of high repetition-rate sources like the European XFEL and LCLS-II.

description: Using modulation transfer functions (MTF), we investigated how sound patterns are processed within the auditory pathway of grasshoppers. Spike rates of auditory receptors and primary-like local neurons did not depend on modulation frequencies while other local and ascending neurons had lowpass, bandpass or bandstop properties. Local neurons exhibited broader dynamic ranges of their rate MTF that extended to higher modulation frequencies than those of most ascending neurons. We found no indication that a filter bank for modulation frequencies may exist in grasshoppers as has been proposed for the auditory system of mammals. The filter properties of half of the neurons changed to an allpass type with a 50% reduction of modulation depths. Contrasting to reports for mammals, the sensitivity to small modulation depths was not enhanced at higher processing stages. In ascending neurons, a focus on the range of low modulation frequencies was visible in the temporal MTFs, which describe the temporal locking of spikes to the signal envelope. To investigate the influence of stimulus rise time, we used rectangularly modulated stimuli instead of sinusoidally modulated ones. Unexpectedly, steep stimulus onsets had only small influence on the shape of MTF curves of 70% of neurons in our sample.

description: Stroke is a major health and disability issue in Australia. Despite recent advances in acute stroke management, a large number of people continue to live with the ongoing impact of stroke. Many experience difficulty engaging in the activities they need, want, or are expected to engage in – what occupational therapists term occupations. Occupational therapists play a key role in supporting individuals to overcome occupational challenges to live meaningful lives and re-integrate into the community after a stroke. To ensure they deliver theory-driven, evidence-informed and client-focused services, it is critical that occupational therapists understand stroke recovery, not just from a biomedical perspective, but also, and, perhaps more importantly, from an occupational and client perspective. Qualitative research can provide this insight into the individual’s experience of adjustment after stroke, and offer a lens through which to critically review clinical guidelines. Whilst each individual’s adjustment experience is unique, recent qualitative studies have revealed some consistent themes. However, gaps in this evidence, and a need to further expand and verify findings have also been identified. As such, the study reported in this thesis verifies, expands, and challenges these evolving themes. The occupational perspective that was brought to the enquiry, ensured the analytical focus reflected the unique expertise of occupational therapists, including occupational performance, occupational engagement, and occupational identity.

description: We identify the Standard Model's $\mathfrak{su}(3)\oplus \mathfrak{su}(2)\oplus \mathfrak{u}(1)$ internal symmetries within the triality symmetries $\mathfrak{tri}(\mathbb{C}) \oplus \mathfrak{tri}(\mathbb{H}) \oplus \mathfrak{tri}(\mathbb{O})$. From here, the corresponding Standard Model group action is applied to the triality triple $\left( Ψ_+, Ψ_-,V\right)$ for $Ψ_+, Ψ_-, V \in \mathbb{C}\otimes\mathbb{H}\otimes\mathbb{O}$. Together, $Ψ_+$ and $Ψ_-$ provide the correct irreducible representations for two generations. Owing to a certain Cartan Factorization, which we define, $V$ provides the irreducible representations for a third generation. Said more explicitly in another way, division algebraic multiplication merges a third generation of spinor representations into a set of scalar bosons. This set of scalar bosons includes the familiar Standard Model Higgs representation.

description: We present the results of a suite of numerical simulations designed to explore the origin of the angular momenta of protostellar cores. Using the hydrodynamic grid code \emph{Athena} with a sink implementation, we follow the formation of protostellar cores and protostars (sinks) from the subvirial collapse of molecular clouds on larger scales to investigate the range and relative distribution of core properties. We find that the core angular momenta are relatively unaffected by large-scale rotation of the parent cloud; instead, we infer that angular momenta are mainly imparted by torques between neighboring mass concentrations and exhibit a log-normal distribution. Our current simulation results are limited to size scales $\sim 0.05$~pc ($\sim 10^4 \rm AU$), but serve as first steps toward the ultimate goal of providing initial conditions for higher-resolution studies of core collapse to form protoplanetary disks.

description: Electric vehicles (EVs), heat pumps (HPs) and solar panels are low-carbon technologies (LCTs) that are being connected to the low-voltage grid (LVG) at a rapid pace. One of the main hurdles to understand their impact on the LVG is the lack of recent, large electricity consumption datasets, measured in real-world conditions. We investigated the contribution of LCTs to the size and timing of peaks on LV feeders by using a large dataset of 42,089 smart meter profiles of residential LVG customers. These profiles were measured in 2022 by Fluvius, the distribution system operator (DSO) of Flanders, Belgium. The dataset contains customers that proactively requested higher-resolution smart metering data, and hence is biased towards energy-interested people. LV feeders of different sizes were statistically modelled with a profile sampling approach. For feeders with 40 connections, we found a contribution to the feeder peak of 1.2 kW for a HP, 1.4 kW for an EV and 2.0 kW for an EV charging faster than 6.5 kW. A visual analysis of the feeder-level loads shows that the classical duck curve is replaced by a night-camel curve for feeders with only HPs and a night-dromedary curve for feeders with only EVs charging faster than 6.5 kW. Consumption patterns will continue to change as the energy transition is carried out, because of e.g. dynamic electricity tariffs or increased battery capacities. Our introduced methods are simple to implement, making it a useful tool for DSOs that have access to smart meter data to monitor changing consumption patterns.

description: High-resolution CO(1-0) observations of five ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIGs: L_IR [8-1000um] >~ 10^12 L_sun) with double nuclei are analyzed. These sources constitute a complete subset of local ULIGs expected to be in an intermediate stage of merging and selected with projected nuclear separations of 2.0-5.4 (3-5 kpc) so they could be resolved with the Owens Valley Radio Observatory Millimeter Array. The observed pairs include two mergers with cool far-infrared colors (25um to 60um flux density ratio f_25um/f_60um < 0.2) from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) Bright Galaxy Sample (IRAS 12112+0305 and IRAS 14348-1447) and three mergers with warm infrared dust temperatures f_25um/f_60um >~ 0.2) selected from the IRAS Warm Galaxy Sample (IRAS 08572+3915, IRAS 13451+1232 = PKS 1345+12, and IRAS 13536+1836 = Mrk 463). These ULIGs are further distinguished by the presence of pairs of active nuclei; among the ten nuclei, nine have Seyfert or LINER classifications and one is unclassified. Molecular gas is detected only on the redder, more radio-luminous nucleus of the warm objects, whereas both nuclei of the cool ULIGs are detected in CO. The inferred molecular gas masses for the detected nuclei are 0.1-1.2x10^10 M_sun, and the undetected nuclei have molecular gas masses at least 1.2--2.8 times less than that of their CO-luminous companions. Upper limits on the extent of the CO emitting regions of each detected nucleus range from 2--4 kpc, which is about 3-6 times smaller than the average effective CO diameter of nearby spiral galaxies...

Low noise amplifiers

description: Low-noise operational amplifiers are an important tool in the life sciences. Biosensor measurements typically rely on low-noise transimpedance amplifiers to record biological signals. Two different techniques were used to leverage the advantages of low-noise circuitry for bioelectronics. A CMOS-integrated system for measuring redox-active substrates using electrochemical read-out at very low noise levels is presented. The system incorporates 112 amplifier channels capable of current sensing with noise levels below 1 fArms in a 3.5-Hz bandwidth. The amplifier is externally connected to a gold microelectrode with a radius of 15 µm. The amplifier enables measurement of redox-couples such as potassium ferrocyanide/ferricyanide with concentrations down to 10 nM at current levels of only 300 fA. The electrochemical noise that sets the limits of detection is also measured and analyzed based on redox mass transfer equation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Secondly, CMOS-integrated low noise junction field-effect transistors (JFETs) were developed in a standard 0.18-µm CMOS process. These JFETs reduce input referred flicker noise power by more than a factor of 10 when compared with equally sized n-channel MOS devices by eliminating oxide interfaces in contact with the channel. We show that this improvement in device performance translates into a factor-of-10 reduction in the input-referred noise of integrated CMOS operational amplifiers when JFET devices are used at the input.

description: We investigate a projection-based reduced-order model of the steady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for moderate Reynolds numbers. In particular, we construct an "embedded" reduced basis space, by applying proper orthogonal decomposition to the Shifted Boundary Method, a high-fidelity embedded method recently developed. We focus on the geometrical parametrization through level-set geometries, using a fixed Cartesian background geometry and the associated mesh. This approach avoids both remeshing and the development of a reference domain formulation, as typically done in fitted mesh finite element formulations. Two-dimensional computational examples for one and three-parameter dimensions are presented to validate the convergence and the efficacy of the proposed approach.
