Government, governance and the energy trilemma - Australia's experience of the renewable electricity transition
Creators: name: Tidemann, Carl
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: The Australian electricity sector, like many others internationally, contributes the greatest share of the country's greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). It therefore offers the largest opportunity to reduce emissions and limit the impacts of climate change, by making a transition to generating electricity from renewable energy. However, emissions reductions are not the only variable that must be considered in the shift away from fossil fuels and the emergence of the 'energy trilemma' concept has come to represent the three-pronged challenge that confronts us. The trilemma captures the notion that any attempt to transform electricity systems towards renewable energy requires that: first, the solutions are sustainable in that they reduce GHGs; second that they are equitable and affordable; and finally, that system security and reliability are maintained. Though the trilemma concept is useful, its constituent parts are often at odds with each other, and have been used to justify actions that favour one over the others. Following roughly three decades of government policy aimed at reducing emissions in the electricity sector, we need to understand how those policies are shaped, the outcomes from implementing them, and the possible unexpected, perverse spill-over effects that can occur when individual aspects of the trilemma are prioritised over others. Moreover, these policies have transformed the sector into a very different system than it once was. Consequently, we must also understand the trajectory that Australia's electricity system is on, and how we can best govern it across geographic and jurisdictional levels to account for the three imperatives in the 'energy trilemma'. In this thesis, I investigate a number of challenges and complexities encountered in decarbonising Australia's electricity sector and increasing the penetration of renewable sources of electricity generation through the lens of the 'energy trilemma.' Using an interdisciplinary, mixed methods approach I (i) critique the political framing of energy policy (ii) evaluate different policy responses to reduce emissions and improve system security, and (iii) examine how governance arrangements are changing, and the continuing need for change, due to the technological transformation within the sector.

description: Many automatic theorem provers are restricted to untyped logics, and existing translations from typed logics are bulky or unsound. Recent research proposes monotonicity as a means to remove some clutter when translating monomorphic to untyped first-order logic. Here we pursue this approach systematically, analysing formally a variety of encodings that further improve on efficiency while retaining soundness and completeness. We extend the approach to rank-1 polymorphism and present alternative schemes that lighten the translation of polymorphic symbols based on the novel notion of "cover". The new encodings are implemented in Isabelle/HOL as part of the Sledgehammer tool. We include informal proofs of soundness and correctness, and have formalised the monomorphic part of this work in Isabelle/HOL. Our evaluation finds the new encodings vastly superior to previous schemes.

description: Background: The public health impact of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection is gradually becoming obvious, the bacterium now being implicated as an aetiologic agent in a variety of gastric diseases. In developing countries, Hp infection is markedly more prevalent at younger ages than in developed countries. According to World Gastroenterology Organisation (WGO) 2010 the prevalence of HP in Ethiopia was 48% in age between 2 4, 80% at the age of 6 and 95% in adult s population. Objective: To determine the prevalence of H.pylori infection among paediatric patients who s clinically diagnosed for gastroenteritis. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of H.pylori infection among pediatric patient in private pediatric clinic, Addis Ababa Ethiopia. The study was conduct from March 3rd to May 11th 2014. Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used to collect the data. The stool samples were tested according to the manufacture instruction and procedure. Information from the laboratory analysis and questionnaires were entered into SPSS, version.17 and odd ratio, 95%CI were calculated to measure the degree of relationship between risk factors for H. pylori infection. Result: A total of two hundred twenty one paediatric patients having upper gastrointestinal symptoms because of a suspicion of H. pylori infection participated in this prospective study at Beham specialized children s higher clinic between March 2014 and May 2014.Among the study subjects 114(51.6%) were girls and 107 (48.4%) were boys aged from 9months to 15years with the mean age of 6.29 [95% CI 5.9-6.7]. Helicobacter pylori antigens were detected in 57 of the 221children giving an overall prevalence of 25.8% (95%CI 18.8-31), 27.2% in female and 24.3% in male children. The frequency of H. pylori colonization was higher in females than in males. Of the 114 females enrolled in the study, H. pylori antigen was detected in the stools of 31 (27.2%) against 26 (24.3%) of the 107 males (OR = 0.85 95%CI=0.46-1.57). Age of acquisition was one year and five month. Conclusions: The prevalence of H. pylori infection is 25.8%. This is high among children in the study area. Infection also is acquired at very early age. Household crowding is one of the factors that enhance the infection.

description: Background: Body fluids serve as a medium for carrying nutrients and waste products. These fluids are usually sterile, even if a single colony of bacteria may be significant to invade and infect to body fluids and leads to morbidity and mortality. Assessing to the prevalence of bacteria and testing their antibiotic susceptibility helps to provide effective therapies, develop rational prescription writing and make policy decisions. Objective: The aim of this study was determining bacterial profiles and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns from body fluids at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, laboratory Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted from july 2015 to September 2015 and 384 study participants were required. CSF, acsites, pleural and synovial fluid were collected and cultured on Blood agar, MacConkey agar and chocolate agar and incubated according to standard conditions. All specimens were subjected to Gram Stain, WBC count and AFB immediately following culturing. All culture positives were identified by gram stain and biochemical tests using the standard procedure and antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed using Kirby-Bauer method. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 22. Result: In this study 54/384(14. 0%) of bacteria were isolated from different body fluids such as; Cerebrospinal fluids 264(68.8%), Pleural fluid 76(19.8%), Peritoneal fluid 34(8.9%), and Synovial fluid 10 (2.6%) and using gram stains 41/384 (10.7%) of bacteria were seen from the total of body fluids. Among these majority of body fluids 173(44.1%) had abnormal white blood cell count (WBC) above 05 cells per mm3, out of them 91(21.1%) had polymorphic feature. K. pneumonia 16.7 %( 9/32) were the most common isolated bacterial following by coagulase negative Staphylococcus 15.0 %( 8/32). Among all body fluid in CSF (31(57.4%) were the highest bacterial isolated. Out of 54 isolates, 41(75.9%) of bacteria were showing multi drug resistance. Gentamycin (76%) and erythromycin (59%) were the highest drug resistanc for gram-negative and gram-positive respectively. Conclusion: The prevalence of bacterial isolates in this study was 14.0%. Frequency of single as well as multiple drug resistance was high. Over all 41/54, (75.9%) isolates had shown Multiple-drug-resistance of (MDR≥2) drugs

description: The standard numerical tools for studying non-linear collapse of matter are Newtonian $N$-body simulations. Previous work has shown that these simulations are in accordance with General Relativity (GR) up to first order in perturbation theory, provided that the effects from radiation can be neglected. In this paper we show that the present day matter density receives more than 1$\%$ corrections from radiation on large scales if Newtonian simulations are initialised before $z=50$. We provide a relativistic framework in which \emph{unmodified} Newtonian simulations are compatible with linear GR even in the presence of radiation. Our idea is to use GR perturbation theory to keep track of the evolution of relativistic species and the relativistic space-time consistent with the Newtonian trajectories computed in $N$-body simulations. If metric potentials are sufficiently small, they can be computed using a first-order Einstein--Boltzmann code such as CLASS. We make this idea rigorous by defining a class of GR gauges, the \emph{Newtonian motion} gauges, which are defined such that matter particles follow Newtonian trajectories. We construct a simple example of a relativistic space-time within which unmodified Newtonian simulations can be interpreted.

Quantifying the effect of morphology on second harmonic generation in amino acids
Creators: name: Gleeson, Matthew
Publisher: name: University of Limerick
Year: 2023

description: Nonlinear optics studies the interaction between intense light and materials. Second harmonic generation (SHG) is the simplest frequency conversion process in which two low energy degenerate photons are converted to one higher energy photon. This process occurs only in non-centrosymmetric materials and so offers high specificity with inherent optical contrast. Analysing SHG can reveal information on the material’s internal crystal structure through a non-contact measurement, Accurately quantifying the material property generally responsible for SHG, the second order susceptibility tensor, can be helpful for characterizing crystallization in pharmaceutical compounds or monitoring disease progression through characterizing the building blocks of biomolecules, amino acids.. Though with the increasing interest in using organic materials for devices such as waveguides or nonlinear antennas, the effect of morphology on the signal recorded is often neglected. In this thesis, we study the effect of morphology on the quantification of the second order susceptibility in some amino acids. The effect is separated into two scenarios. In the first, we developed an analytical model with a quantitative framework to quantify the second order susceptibility tensor of crystalline materials. This model was used to characterize the β and γ phases of glycine microneedles. Accounting for morphology showed an increase in contribution for the tensor longitudinal susceptibly elements at the expense of the others. The maximum susceptibility elements were d33 = 15 pm/V and d33 = 5.9 pm/V for the β and γ phases respectively. The second scenario studies the effective susceptibility of amino acid cocrystal microparticles. We compare the difference in effective susceptibility magnitudes found using a simple ratio verses a volume normalized measure. We apply this method to six novel cocrystals using centrosymmetric sulfamic acid with Alanine, Cysteine, α-Glycine, Histidine, Methionine and Phenylamine. The effective susceptibilities found were 0.59 pm/V, 0.14 pm/V, 1.93 pm/V, 0.13 pm/V, 0.43 pm/V, and 0.08 pm/V respectively. These values are significantly higher than the pure crystallized amino acids. The volume normalized method produced slightly lower magnitudes but with a smaller standard deviation. The comparative study and widely applicable model presented here could be advantageous for characterizing functional biocompatible nonlinear materials.

description: The blocking effect caused by the odd particle on the pairing properties of systems with odd number of fermions at finite temperature interacting via the monopole pairing force is studied within several approximations. The results are compared with the predictions obtained by using the exact solutions of the pairing Hamiltonian. The comparison favors the approximation with the odd particle occupying the top level, which is the closest to the Fermi surface and whose occupation number decreases with increasing temperature.

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: The Pluto-Charon system has come into sharper focus following the fly by of New Horizons. We use N-body simulations to probe the unique dynamical history of this binary dwarf planet system. We follow the evolution of the debris disc that might have formed during the Charon-forming giant impact. First, we note that in-situ formation of the four circumbinary moons is extremely difficult if Charon undergoes eccentric tidal evolution. We track collisions of disc debris with Charon, estimating that hundreds to hundreds of thousands of visible craters might arise from 0.3--5 km radius bodies. New Horizons data suggesting a dearth of these small craters may place constraints on the disc properties. While tidal heating will erase some of the cratering history, both tidal and radiogenic heating may also make it possible to differentiate disc debris craters from Kuiper belt object craters. We also track the debris ejected from the Pluto-Charon system into the Solar System; while most of this debris is ultimately lost from the Solar System, a few tens of 10--30 km radius bodies could survive as a Pluto-Charon collisional family. Most are plutinos in the 3:2 resonance with Neptune, while a small number populate nearby resonances. We show that migration of the giant planets early in the Solar System's history would not destroy this collisional family. Finally, we suggest that identification of such a family would likely need to be based on composition as they show minimal clustering in relevant orbital parameters.

description: In terms of the economy, agriculture plays a significant role. In agriculture, automation has become a major concern and a hot topic around the world. Food and employment demand are rising as a result of a rapidly expanding population. Using the new methods, billions of people were able to meet their dietary needs while also gaining employment opportunities. Farming has undergone an enormous change thanks to artificial intelligence. Crop yields have been protected by this technology from a variety of threats, including climate change, population growth, labour shortages, and concerns about global food security. Weeding, spraying, and irrigation are just a few of the many uses for artificial intelligence in agriculture that this paper examines in detail, with the help of sensors and other tools built into machine and drones. Water, pesticide, herbicide, and soil fertility use, as well as labour use, are all reduced thanks to these new technologies, which boost output while also improving product quality. Robots and drones are being used for weeding in agriculture, and this paper compiles the findings of numerous researchers to give readers an overview of the current state of automation in agriculture. Soil water sensing techniques and two automated weeding methods are discussed. It is discussed in this paper how drones can be used for spraying and crop monitoring, as well as the various methods they can employ.

description: With the help of information and communication technologies, studies on the overall social networks have been extensively reported recently. However, investigations on the directed Ego Communication Networks (ECNs) remain insufficient, where an ECN stands for a sub network composed of a centralized individual and his/her direct contacts. In this paper, the directed ECNs are built on the Call Detail Records (CDRs), which cover more than 7 million people of a provincial capital city in China for half a year. Results show that there is a critical size for ECN at about 150, above which the average emotional closeness between ego and alters drops, the balanced relationship between ego and network collapses, and the proportion of strong ties decreases. This paper not only demonstrate the significance of ECN size in affecting its properties, but also shows accordance with the "Dunbar's Number". These results can be viewed as a cross-culture supportive evidence to the well-known Social Brain Hypothesis (SBH).

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Background: As a result of the large influx of patients into the medical imaging department, the surfaces of equipment could represent a reservoir for pathological agents and source of transmission of infections to patients and healthcare professionals. Objective: To assess Bacterial contamination level of radiological equipments and factors affecting disinfection among radiology health professionals at 12 public health hospitals, Addis Ababa Ethiopia. Methods: A total of 178 swab samples collected from radiological equipments of X-ray, Ultrasound, Computed tomography, and Magnetic resonance Image equipments were selected and assessed for microbiological contamination in selected public hospitals of Addis Ababa. Self-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect factors affecting disinfection process among 137 medical radiology health professionals. The collected specimen was inoculated on (Blood agar and MacConkey agar) and incubated at 35-37±0.5°C for 24 hours. The suspected colonies were further subjected to gram's staining and biochemical test was performed for gram positive and negative isolates. A standard disc diffusion technique for antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) test was performed for all the isolates using CLSI (Clinical laboratory standard institute 2017). SPSS version 24 used to analyze the data. Bacterial isolates which are resistant to two or more classes of drugs were considered as multidrug resistant (MDR). Results: Out of 178 swab samples, we found 151(84.8%) bacterial isolates from all radiological equipments. High bacteria contamination rate were found on X-RAY machines accounts for 75(49.7%) and Gram-positive organisms were the most frequently isolated bacteria. particularly, Coagulase negativestaphylococci (CoNS) accounts 98(55.1%). Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most isolated Gram-negative bacteria and accounts 7(3.9%). Methicilin resistant Staphylocoous aureus (MRSA) were found 5 of 12 (41.6%) of S. aureus isolates. Conclusion: This research showed high bacterial contamination rate of radiological equipments and isolates shows high resistance rate for different antimicrobial drugs. And there are factors affecting decontamination of radiological equipments. Hence, awareness for these factors should be raised among radiology health professionals.

description: Der folgende Aufsatz befaßt sich mit der externen und internen Flexibilität auf dem norwegischen Arbeitsmarkt. In einem klein- und mittelbetrieblich dominierten Land ist ein gewisses Niveau von externer Flexibilität notwendig, da einerseits die Betriebe nicht alle Beschäftigungsprobleme intern lösen können, und andererseits die Beschäftigten oft einen Aufstieg nur durch einen Betriebswechsel erreichen können. Viel ausführlicher wird die interne Flexibilität der Arbeitskräfte betrachtet - letzteres vor dem Hintergrund spezifischer industrieller Beziehungen und Managementstile. Den Gewerkschaften sind in den letzten Jahrzehnten starke Beteiligungsrechte eingeräumt worden. Es wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob sich in Norwegen im Unterschied zu anderen Ländern ein besonderer Managementstil herausgebildet hat, und welche Innovationspotentiale und -probleme darin zu sehen sind. Anhand von Arbeitszeitflexibilität (Norwegen hat die kürzesten Arbeitszeiten in der Welt) und qualifikatorischen Problemfeldern werden zudem Schwachstellen und Reformansätze - insbesondere in der beruflichen Ausbildung - des norwegischen Arbeitsmarktes beleuchtet, bevor im letzten Kapitel einige Schlußfolgerungen gezogen werden.
description: The subject of this article is external and internal flexibility in the Norwegian labour market. In a small country dominated by small and medium-sized firms, a certain level of external flexibility is necessary, on the one hand because firms are unable to solve all their employment problems internally and, on the other hand, the only way for employees to gain promotion is to change firms. The article focuses on internal flexibility, placing it in the context of a specific industrial relations system and particular management styles. The trade unions have been granted considerable rights of participation in recent years. The article investigates whether a distinctive Norwegian style of management has emerged and what the advantages and disadvantages of that style might be for the innovative potential of Norwegian firms. By using the examples of working time flexibility (Norway has the shortest working times in the world) and those areas in which skill shortages may cause difficulties, both the weaknesses of the Norwegian labour market and initial attempts at reform - particularly in the vocational training system - are highlighted, before several conclusions are drawn in the final section.

description: The real-time broadening of density profiles starting from non-equilibrium states is at the center of transport in condensed-matter systems and dynamics in ultracold atomic gases. Initial profiles close to equilibrium are expected to evolve according to linear response, e.g., as given by the current correlator evaluated exactly at equilibrium. Significantly off equilibrium, linear response is expected to break down and even a description in terms of canonical ensembles is questionable. We unveil that single pure states with density profiles of maximum amplitude yield a broadening in perfect agreement with linear response, if the structure of these states involves randomness in terms of decoherent off-diagonal density-matrix elements. While these states allow for spin diffusion in the XXZ spin-1/2 chain at large exchange anisotropies, coherences yield entirely different behavior.

description: We study a toy version of a grand-unified theory on the lattice: An $SU(3)$ gauge theory, which experiences a Brout-Englert-Higgs effect due to a single Higgs field in the fundamental representation. This yields a perturbative breaking pattern $SU(3) \rightarrow SU(2)$. We investigate the singlet vector channel, finding an apparently non-degenerate and massive ground state. This is in contradistinction to the perturbative prediction of three massless and five massive vector states, even though the correlation functions of the gauge bosons exhibit a weak-coupling behavior, being almost tree-level-like. However, a combination of perturbation theory with the Fröhlich-Morchio-Strocchi mechanism allows to predict the physical spectrum in this channel.

description: We investigate spin transport in two dimensional ferromagnetic (FTI) and antiferromagnetic (AFTI) topological insulators. In presence of an in plane magnetization AFTI supports zero energy modes, which enables topologically protected edge conduction at low energy. We address the nature of current-driven spin torque in these structures and study the impact of spin-independent disorder. Interestingly, upon strong disorder the spin torque develops an antidamping component (i.e. {\em even} upon magnetization reversal) along the edges, which could enable current-driven manipulation of the antiferromagnetic order parameter. This antidamping torque decreases when increasing the system size and when the system enters the trivial insulator regime.

description: Coulomb matrix elements are needed in all studies in solid-state theory that are based on Hubbard-type multi-orbital models. Due to symmetries, the matrix elements are not independent. We determine a set of independent Coulomb parameters for a $d$-shell and a $f$-shell and all point groups with up to $16$ elements ($O_h$, $O$, $T_d$, $T_h$, $D_{6h}$, and $D_{4h}$). Furthermore, we express all other matrix elements as a function of the independent Coulomb parameters. Apart from the solution of the general point-group problem we investigate in detail the spherical approximation and first-order corrections to the spherical approximation.

description: We report on a detailed investigation of the spin-1 $J_1-J_2-J_3$ Heisenberg model, a frustrated model with nearest-neighbor coupling $J_1$, next-nearest neighbor coupling $J_2$, and a three site interaction $J_3\left[({\bf S}_{i-1}\cdot {\bf S}_i)({\bf S}_i\cdot {\bf S}_{i+1})+{\mathrm H.c.}\right]$ previously studied in [Phys. Rev. B 93, 241108(R) (2016)]. Using DMRG and exact diagonalizations, we show that the phase boundaries between the Haldane phase, the next-nearest neighbor Haldane phase and the dimerized phase can be very accurately determined by combining the information deduced from the dimerization, the ground-state energy, the entanglement spectrum and the Berry phase. By a careful investigation of the finite-size spectrum, we also show that the transition between the next-nearest neighbor Haldane phase and the dimerized phase is in the Ising universality class all along the critical line. Furthermore, we justify the conformal embedding of the $SU(2)_2$ Wess-Zumino-Witten conformal field theory in terms of a boson and an Ising field, and we explicitly derive a number of consequences of this embedding for the spectrum along the $SU(2)_2$ transition line between the Haldane phase and the dimerized phase. We also show that the solitons along the first-order transition line between the Haldane phase and the dimerized phase carry a spin-1/2, while those between different dimerization domains inside the dimerized phase carry a spin 1. Finally, we show that short-range correlations change character in the Haldane and dimerized phases through disorder and Lifshitz lines, as well as through the development of short-range dimer correlations in the Haldane phase, leading to a remarkably rich phase diagram.

description: This study addresses the protection of Nigerian-grown lower-class timbers (Afara-N6, Abura-N4, Ayure-N5, Mahogany-N5, and Obeche-N6) according to the Nigerian NCP2 classification. Subterranean termites, particularly Coptotermes formosanus, are recognized as significant destroyers of timber and timber products in tropical regions. To combat this, higher-class (N1) Nigerian-grown Eucalyptus camaldulensis timber was utilized to develop non-synthetic anti-termite extracts for treating the susceptible lower-class timbers. These extracts offer advantages over synthetic chemicals by minimizing harm to non-targeted organisms in the ecosystem. Phytochemical analysis revealed significant concentrations of tannin (0.440mg/100g), phenol (0.402mg/100g), saponin (0.208mg/100g), flavonoids (0.025mg/100g) and alkaloids (0.024mg/100g) in the aqueous solution extracts. Graveyard tests, conducted according to ASTM D 1758-74, demonstrated effective treatment of Ayure, Abura, and Mahogany, with minimal percentage weight loss of 0.08, 0.31, and 0.48 respectively. However, Obeche and Afara exhibited higher percentage relative weight loss of 1.05 and 9.05 respectively, possibly due to the absence of phlobatannins and hydroxyl anthraquinone phytochemicals in the extracts. Overall, the Eucalyptus camaldulensis extract shows promise in significantly reducing termite damage in Nigerian-grown timbers such as Ayure, Abura, and Mahogany.
Quantum steerability: characterization, quantification, superactivation and unbounded amplification

description: Quantum steering, also called Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering, is the intriguing phenomenon associated with the ability of spatially separated observers to steer---by means of local measurements---the set of conditional quantum states accessible by a distant party. In the light of quantum information, all steerable quantum states are known to be resources for quantum information processing tasks. Here, via a quantity dubbed steering fraction, we derive a simple, but general criterion that allows one to identify quantum states that can exhibit quantum steering, thus making an important step towards the characterization of steerable quantum states. The criterion, in turn, also provides upper bounds on the largest steering-inequality violation achievable by arbitrary finite-dimensional maximally entangled states. For the quantification of steerability, we prove that a strengthened version of the steering fraction is a convex steering monotone and demonstrate how it is related to two others, namely, steerable weight and steering robustness. Using these tools, we further demonstrate the superactivation of steerability, i.e., we show how the steerability of certain entangled, but unsteerable quantum states can be recovered by allowing joint measurements on multiple copies of the same state. In particular, our approach allows one to explicitly construct a steering inequality to manifest this phenomenon. Finally, we prove that there exist quantum states (including some unsteerable under projective measurements) whose steering-inequality violation can be arbitrarily amplified by allowing joint measurements on three copies of the same state. For completeness, we also demonstrate how the largest steering-inequality violation can be used to bound the largest Bell-inequality violation and derive, analogously, a simple sufficient condition for Bell-nonlocality from the latter.

description: Molecular dynamics simulations revealed significant difference in deformation behaviour of $$ BCC Fe nanowires with and without twist boundary. The plastic deformation in perfect $$ BCC Fe nanowire was dominated by twinning and reorientation to $$ followed by further deformation by slip mode. On the contrary, $$ BCC Fe nanowire with a twist boundary deformed by slip at low plastic strains followed by twinning at high strains and absence of full reorientation. The results suggest that the deformation in $$ BCC Fe nanowire by dislocation slip is preferred over twinning in the presence of initial dislocations or dislocation networks. The results also explain the absence of extensive twinning in bulk materials, which inherently contains large number of dislocations.

description: In the last decade, network science has shed new light both on the structural (anatomical) and on the functional (correlations in the activity) connectivity among the different areas of the human brain. The analysis of brain networks has made possible to detect the central areas of a neural system, and to identify its building blocks by looking at overabundant small subgraphs, known as motifs. However, network analysis of the brain has so far mainly focused on anatomical and functional networks as separate entities. The recently developed mathematical framework of multi-layer networks allows to perform an analysis of the human brain where the structural and functional layers are considered together. In this work we describe how to classify the subgraphs of a multiplex network, and we extend motif analysis to networks with an arbitrary number of layers. We then extract multi-layer motifs in brain networks of healthy subjects by considering networks with two layers, anatomical and functional, respectively obtained from diffusion and functional magnetic resonance imaging. Results indicate that subgraphs in which the presence of a physical connection between brain areas (links at the structural layer) coexists with a non-trivial positive correlation in their activities are statistically overabundant. Finally, we investigate the existence of a reinforcement mechanism between the two layers by looking at how the probability to find a link in one layer depends on the intensity of the connection in the other one. Showing that functional connectivity is non-trivially constrained by the underlying anatomical network, our work contributes to a better understanding of the interplay between structure and function in the human brain.

description: We employ a collective vibration coupled-channel model to describe the nucleon-16O cluster systems, obtaining low-excitation spectra for 17O and 17F. Bound and resonance states of the compound systems have been deduced, showing good agreement with experimental spectra. Low energy scattering cross sections of neutrons and protons from 16O also have been calculated and the results compare well with available experimental data.

description: We study the structure of bipartite unitary operators which generate via the Stinespring dilation theorem, quantum operations preserving some given matrix algebra, independently of the ancilla state. We characterize completely the unitary operators preserving diagonal, block-diagonal, and tensor product algebras. Some unexpected connections with the theory of quantum Latin squares are explored, and we introduce and study a Sinkhorn-like algorithm used to randomly generate quantum Latin squares.
