Depuis plus de 65 ans, Gisèle et son mari se sont installés ici, façonnant peu à peu ce petit coin de paradis. Chaque été, le temps des grandes vacances, le gigantesque jardin qui mène à la Romanche se transforme en terrain d’aventures. Le long de chemins escarpés, dans des sous- bois jonchés de branches, écartant les feuilles et enjambant les sources, nous sommes allées explorer les abords de cette rivière au lit changeant.

description: Due to a high heterogeneity in pose and size and to a limited number of available data, segmentation of pediatric images is challenging for deep learning methods. In this work, we propose a new CNN architecture that is pose and scale invariant thanks to the use of Spatial Transformer Network (STN). Our architecture is composed of three sequential modules that are estimated together during training: (i) a regression module to estimate a similarity matrix to normalize the input image to a reference one; (ii) a differentiable module to find the region of interest to segment; (iii) a segmentation module, based on the popular UNet architecture, to delineate the object. Unlike the original UNet, which strives to learn a complex mapping, including pose and scale variations, from a finite training dataset, our segmentation module learns a simpler mapping focusing on images with normalized pose and size. Furthermore, the use of an automatic bounding box detection through STN allows saving time and especially memory, while keeping similar performance. We test the proposed method in kidney and renal tumor segmentation on abdominal pediatric CT scanners. Results indicate that the estimated STN homogenization of size and pose accelerates the segmentation (25h), compared to standard data-augmentation (33h), while obtaining a similar quality for the kidney (88.01\% of Dice score) and improving the renal tumor delineation (from 85.52\% to 87.12\%).

2019 IEEE General Meeting 8/7 Panel Presentation: Optimization Methods for Unbalanced Power Distribution Systems
The proliferation of distributed energy resources and the deployment of advanced sensing and control technologies in electric power distribution systems calls for coordinated management of the grid�s resources. This has led to a growing interest in academia and industry alike on optimization methods for the large-scale unbalanced power distribution systems. This panel will present state-of-the-art optimization methods for unbalanced power distribution systems and discuss the associated scalability/optimality/accuracy concerns due to nonlinear power flow models, discrete decisions variables, and inter-temporal constraints. The talks will also encompass different applications of optimization methods as applied to distribution systems including multi-period optimal power flow for voltage optimization and market applications, and mixed-integer formulations for restoration and reconfiguration problems. Specifically, the panel of experts from academia and industry will address the following two questions:
1.  What are the associated challenges of model-based optimization methods when applied to the real-world distribution systems?
2.  How can some of the existing distribution system applications benefit from large-scale optimization methods?

description: In this work, we carry out the study of heavy flavor pentatuarks with four heavy quarks, which have typical $QQQQ\bar q$ configuration. Within the Chromomagnetic Interaction model, the mass spectrum of these discussed $QQQQ\bar q$ pentaquarks is given. In addition to the mass spectrum analysis, we also illustrate their two-body strong decay behavior by estimating some ratios of decay channels. By these effort, we suggest that future experiment should pay attention to this kind of pentaquark.

On the Relation of the Lunar Recession and the Length-of-the-Day

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

description: We review the problem of the consistency between the observed values of the lunar recession from Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) and of the increase of the length-of-the-day (LOD). From observations of lunar occultations completed by recent IERS data, we derive a variation rate of the LOD equal to 1.09 ms/cy from 1680 to 2020, which compares well with McCarthy and Babcock (1986) and Sidorenkov (2005). This rate is lower than the mean rate of 1.78 ms/cy derived by Stephenson et al. (2016) on the basis of eclipses in the Antiquity and Middle Age. The difference in the two observed rates starts at the epoch of a major change in the data accuracy with telescopic observations. The observed lunar recession appears too large when compared to the tidal slowing down of the Earth determined from eclipses in the Antiquity and Middle Age and even much more when determined from lunar occultations and IERS data from 1680 to 2020. With a proper account of the tidal effects and of the detailed studies on the atmospheric effects, the melting from icefields, the changes of the sea level, the glacial isostatic adjustment, and the core-mantle coupling, we conclude that the long-standing problem of the presence or absence of a local cosmological expansion is still an open question.

description: Context: We present a new study of the eclipsing cataclysmic variable CzeV404 Her (Porb = 0.098 d) that is located in the period gap. Aims: This report determines the origin of the object and the system parameters and probes the accretion flow structure of the system. Methods: We conducted simultaneous time-resolved photometric and spectroscopic observations of CzeV404 Her. We applied our light-curve modelling techniques and the Doppler tomography method to determine the system parameters and analyse the structure of the accretion disk. Results: We found that the system has a massive white dwarf M_WD = 1.00(2) M_sun a mass ratio of q = 0.16, and a relatively hot secondary with an effective temperature T_2 = 4100(50) K. The system inclination is i = 78.8°. The accretion disk spreads out to the tidal limitation radius and has an extended hot spot or line region. The hot spot or line is hotter than the remaining outer part of the disk in quiescence or in intermediate state, but does not stand out completely from the disk flux in (super)outbursts. Conclusions: We claim that this object represents a link between two distinct classes of SU UMa-type and SW Sex-type cataclysmic variables. The accretion flow structure in the disk corresponds to the SW Sex systems, but the physical conditions inside the disk fit the behaviour of SU UMa-type objects.

description: We propose a framework for the specification of behaviour-preserving reconfigurations of systems modelled as Petri nets. The framework is based on open nets, a mild generalisation of ordinary Place/Transition nets suited to model open systems which might interact with the surrounding environment and endowed with a colimit-based composition operation. We show that natural notions of bisimilarity over open nets are congruences with respect to the composition operation. The considered behavioural equivalences differ for the choice of the observations, which can be single firings or parallel steps. Additionally, we consider weak forms of such equivalences, arising in the presence of unobservable actions. We also provide an up-to technique for facilitating bisimilarity proofs. The theory is used to identify suitable classes of reconfiguration rules (in the double-pushout approach to rewriting) whose application preserves the observational semantics of the net.

Incipient Fault Detection Using Equipment Failure Signatures and Power Quality Monitors - Slide Presentation
Creators: Wilsun Xu
Publisher: name: IEEE
Year: 2020

Many power equipment failures and short-circuit incidents are preceded with incipient faults. Such faults often leave unique ?marks? on the voltage and current waveforms. In recent years, engineers and researchers in the fields of power quality, power system protection and equipment condition monitoring have all recognized that such unique ?marks? or waveform signatures can be used to detect the occurrence of incipient faults. Thus a proactive approach to power system protection may become a reality.

This webinar will present the state-of-the-art developments in the area of incipient fault detection, primarily from the perspective of power quality (PQ) monitoring. PQ monitors are probably the most versatile waveform recording devices and PQ analysis is essentially waveform analysis. As such, PQ monitoring platforms may represent the easiest way to realize ?incipient fault detection on a budget?. The webinar will also explain a recent technical report completed by the PES WG on Power Quality Data Analytics, PES-TR-73: ?Electrical Signatures of Power Equipment Failures?. The webinar will further discuss, frankly, the limitations of existing techniques and the various paths to move forward in this important direction.

description: The $J$-matrix inverse scattering approach can be used as an alternative to a conventional $R$-matrix in analyzing scattering phase shifts and extracting resonance energies and widths from experimental data. A great advantage of the $J$-matrix is that it provides eigenstates directly related to the ones obtained in the shell model in a given model space and with a given value of the oscillator spacing $\hbarΩ$. This relationship is of a particular interest in the cases when a many-body system does not have a resonant state or the resonance is broad and its energy can differ significantly from the shell model eigenstate. We discuss the $J$-matrix inverse scattering technique, extend it for the case of charged colliding particles and apply it to the analysis of $nα$ and $pα$ scattering. The results are compared with the No-core Shell Model calculations of $^5$He and $^5$Li.

description: Heterostructures of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials with selective compositions play an important role in creating novel functionalities. Effective interface coupling between 2D ferromagnet and electronic materials would enable the generation of exotic physical phenomena caused by intrinsic symmetry breaking and proximity effect at interfaces. Here, epitaxial growth of bilayer Bi(110) on 2D ferromagnetic Fe3GeTe2 (FGT) with large magnetic anisotropy has been reported. Bilayer Bi(110) islands are found to extend along fixed lattice directions of FGT. The six preferred orientations could be divided into two groups of three-fold symmetry axes with the difference approximately to 26°. Moreover, dI/dV measurements confirm the existence of interface coupling between bilayer Bi(110) and FGT. A variation of the energy gap at the edges of bilayer Bi(110) is also observed which is modulated by the interface coupling strengths associated with its buckled atomic structure. This system provides a good platform for further study of the exotic electronic properties of epitaxial Bi(110) on 2D ferromagnetic substrate and promotes potential applications in the field of spin devices.

description: We present results of a 150 MHz survey of a field centered on Epsilon Eridani, undertaken with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). The survey covers an area with a diameter of 2 deg, has a spatial resolution of 30" and a noise level of 3.1 mJy at the pointing centre. These observations provide a deeper and higher resolution view of the 150 MHz radio sky than the 7C survey (although the 7C survey covers a much larger area). A total of 113 sources were detected, most are point-like, but 20 are extended. We present an analysis of these sources, in conjunction with the NVSS (at 1.4 GHz) and VLSS (at 74 MHz). This process allowed us to identify 5 Ultra Steep Spectrum (USS) radio sources that are candidate high redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs). In addition, we have derived the dN/dS distribution for these observations and compare our results with other low frequency radio surveys.

description: We present maps of the cosmic large-scale structure around the twelve most distant galaxy clusters from the Massive Cluster Survey (MACS) as traced by the projected surface density of galaxies on the cluster red sequence. Taken with the Suprime-Cam wide-field camera on the Subaru telescope, the images used in this study cover a 27x27 arcmin^2 area around each cluster, corresponding to 10 x 10 Mpc^2 at the median redshift of z = 0.55 of our sample. We directly detect satellite clusters and filaments extending over the full size of our imaging data in the majority of the clusters studied, supporting the picture of mass accretion via infall along filaments suggested by numerical simulations of the growth of clusters and the evolution of large-scale structure. A comparison of the galaxy distribution near the cluster cores with the X-ray surface brightness as observed with Chandra reveals, in several cases, significant offsets between the gas and galaxy distribution, indicative of ongoing merger events. The respective systems are ideally suited for studies of the dynamical properties of gas, galaxies, and dark matter. In addition, the large-scale filaments viewed at high contrast in these MACS clusters are prime targets for the direct detection and study of the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM).

2019 IEEE General Meeting 8/7 Panel Presentation: DER Interoperability Roadmap � Industry Experiences
The growth in the desire to connect ever greater numbers of distributed energy resources (DER -generation, storage, and flexible loads) is bringing attention not only to the safety and reliable operation of these resources, but the challenges in the processes to configure and integrate them for successful operation with the distribution system. The US Department of Energy's Grid Modernization Initiative has developed a strategic vision for DER interoperability focused on the ease of integration. The process to achieve interoperability involves an alignment of the various stakeholders in the DER integration ecosystem such as distribution systems operators, DER facility owners and operators, technology solutions providers, and the regulators of the marketplace. These stakeholders represent an evolving ecosystem of parties who can all benefit from interoperability agreements. This panel describes the advances being made in the development of roadmaps for DER integration as driven by photovoltaic systems integration in California and Hawaii, and electric vehicle charging integration in Europe.

Incidence of learning disabilities in an inmate population in B.C.
Creators: name: Lysakowski, Barbara
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study was to measure the incidence of learning disabilities in a federal inmate population. It further sought to differentiate between learning disabled and normal learning inmates on socioeconomic and criminal variables. Research concerning learning disabilities in the juvenile delinquent population and illiteracy in the adult inmate population suggested that the incidence of learning disabilities in adult criminal populations would be high. The match between the characteristics of learning disabled individuals and criminals further suggested that criminals would manifest their learning disabilities in criminal behaviour which would, thus, differ significantly from the normal learners. Two hundred and forty two inmates in six federal institutions, taking part in the regular penitentiary induction process, were interviewed and asked to write the "Wide Range Achievement Test" (WRAT) and the "School and College Ability Test" (SCAT). Other data used in the study was obtained from the inmates' institutional files. Of the original 242 inmates interviewed only 192 completed both tests and of these only 169 met the criteria for further analysis. Two measures of the incidence of learning disabilities were taken. As IQ scores were not available, straight difference scores between the test-measured achievement grade and the highest grade completed in the regular school system gave the maximum estimate of the incidence. The minimum estimate of the incidence of learning disabilities was determined by imposing a second condition which required that the individual score below two S.D.'s from the mean on one of the percentile scores of the sub-tests. The maximum incidence of learning disabilities was 18.9 percent which was not significantly different from the general population maximum of 16 percent. The minimum incidence was 7.69 percent which was not significantly different from the general population minimum of 6 percent. These results on the incidence of learning disabilities contradict previous research; however, the characteristics of the learning disabled inmate generally are compatible with theoretical suggestions. The learning disabled inmate was found to be younger, come from a larger family with a worse criminal history, have committed more aggressive crimes, have been convicted as an adult at a younger age, have been convicted of more offences and, even though younger, have had the same number of previous federal and provincial commitments and have served the same period of time in federal and provincial institutions as the normal learning inmate.

description: The strong coupling between individual optical emitters and propagating surface plasmons confined to a conducting nanotip make this system act as an ideal interface for quantum networks, through which a stationary qubit and a flying photon (surface plasmon) qubit can be interconverted via a Raman process. This quantum interface paves the way for many essential functions of a quantum network, including sending, receiving, transferring, swapping, and entangling qubits at distributed quantum nodes as well as a deterministic source and an efficient detector of a single-photon. Numerical simulation shows that this scheme is robust against experimental imperfections and has high fidelity. Furthermore, being smaller this interface would significantly facilitate the scalability of quantum computers.

A total relative error of about 5% is reached in more than three hundred center-of-mass energy steps, separated by about 5 MeV. These measurements can be used to derive precise information on the parameters of the Y(10860) and Y(11020) resonances. In particular we show that their widths may be smaller than previously measured.

description: We investigate equal spheres packings generated from several experiments and from a large number of different numerical simulations. The structural organization of these disordered packings is studied in terms of the network of common neighbours. This geometrical analysis reveals sharp changes in the network's clustering occurring at the packing fractions (fraction of volume occupied by the spheres respect to the total volume, $ρ$) corresponding to the so called Random Loose Packing limit (RLP, $ρ\sim 0.555$) and Random Close Packing limit (RCP, $ρ\sim 0.645$). At these packing fractions we also observe abrupt changes in the fluctuations of the portion of free volume around each sphere. We analyze such fluctuations by means of a statistical mechanics approach and we show that these anomalies are associated to sharp variations in a generalized thermodynamical variable which is the analogous for these a-thermal systems to the specific heat in thermal systems.

description: This paper makes the first systematic attempt to determine using perturbation theory the positions of images by gravitational lensing due to arbitrary number of coplanar masses without any symmetry on a plane, as a function of lens and source parameters. We present a method of Taylor-series expansion to solve the lens equation under a small mass-ratio approximation. First, we investigate perturbative structures of a single-complex-variable polynomial, which has been commonly used. Perturbative roots are found. Some roots represent positions of lensed images, while the others are unphysical because they do not satisfy the lens equation. This is consistent with a fact that the degree of the polynomial, namely the number of zeros, exceeds the maximum number of lensed images if N=3 (or more). The theorem never tells which roots are physical (or unphysical). In this paper, unphysical ones are identified. Secondly, to avoid unphysical roots, we re-examine the lens equation. The advantage of our method is that it allows a systematic iterative analysis. We determine image positions for binary lens systems up to the third order in mass ratios and for arbitrary N point masses up to the second order. This clarifies the dependence on parameters. Thirdly, the number of the images that admit a small mass-ratio limit is less than the maximum number. It is suggested that positions of extra images could not be expressed as Maclaurin series in mass ratios. Magnifications are finally discussed.

description: Sampling from probability densities is a common challenge in fields such as Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) and Generative Modelling (GM). In GM in particular, the use of reverse-time diffusion processes depending on the log-densities of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck forward processes are a popular sampling tool. In [5] the authors point out that these log-densities can be obtained by solution of a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation known from stochastic optimal control. While this HJB equation is usually treated with indirect methods such as policy iteration and unsuper-vised training of black-box architectures like Neural Networks, we propose instead to solve the HJB equation by direct time integration, using compressed polynomials represented in the Tensor Train (TT) format for spatial discretization. Crucially, this method is sample-free, agnostic to normalization constants and can avoid the curse of dimensionality due to the TT compression. We provide a complete derivation of the HJB equation?s action on Tensor Train polynomials and demonstrate the performance of the proposed time-step-, rank- and degree-adaptive integration method on a nonlinear sampling task in 20 dimensions.

description: A zero-gap state (ZGS) has been found in a bulk system of two-dimensional organic conductor, $α$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ salt which consists of four sites of donor molecules in a unit cell. In the present paper, the characteristic of the ZGS is analyzed in detail and the electronic properties are examined in the vicinity of the contact point where the conduction and valence bands degenerate to form the zero-gap. The eigenvectors of the energy band have four components of respective sites, where two of them correspond to inequivalent sites and the other two correspond to equivalent sites. It is shown that the former exhibits an exotic momentum dependence around the contact point and the latter shows almost a constant dependence. The density of states of each site close to the Fermi point is calculated to demonstrate the temperature dependence of the local magnetic susceptibility and the local nuclear magnetic relaxation rate. Further, the robust property of the ZGS against the anion potential is also shown by using the second-order perturbation.

description: We analyze a new gravitational lens, OAC-GL J1223-1239, serendipitously found in a deep I-band image of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). The lens is a L_*, edge-on S0 galaxy at z=0.4656. The gravitational arc has a radius of 0.42 arcsec. We have determined the total mass and the dark matter (DM) fraction within the Einstein radius as a function of the lensed source redshift, which is presently unknown. For z ~ 1.3, which is in the middle of the redshift range plausible for the source according to some external constraints, we find the central velocity dispersion to be ~180 km/s. With this value, close to that obtained by means of the Faber-Jackson relation at the lens redshift, we compute a 30% DM fraction within the Einstein radius (given the uncertainty in the source redshift, the allowed range for the DM fraction is 25-35 % in our lensing model). When compared with the galaxies in the local Universe, the lensing galaxy, OAC-GL J1223-1239 seems to fall in the transition regime between massive DM dominated galaxies and lower-mass, DM deficient systems.

description: Using the first-principles density-functional theory plan-wave pseudopotential method, we investigate the structure and magnetism in 25% Mn substitutive and interstitial doped monoclinic, tetragonal and cubic ZrO2 systematically. Our studies show that the introduction of Mn impurities into ZrO2 not only stabilizes the high temperature phase, but also endows ZrO2 with magnetism. Based on the simple crystal field theory (CFT), we discuss the origination of magnetism in Mn doped ZrO2. Moreover, we discuss the effect of electron donor on magnetic semiconductors, and the possibility as electronic structure modulator.

description: We report on experimental observation of localized structures in two mutually coupled broad-areahttp://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/images/calendar.gif semiconductor resonators. These structures coexist with a dark homogeneous background and they have the same properties as cavity solitons without requiring the presence of a driving beam into the system. They can be switched individually on and off by means of a local addressing beam.

Discovery of X-ray emission from the eclipsing brown-dwarf binary 2MASS J05352184-0546085

description: The eclipsing brown-dwarf binary system 2MASS J05352184-0546085 is a case sui generis. For the first time, it allows a detailed analysis of the individual properties of young brown dwarfs, in particular, masses, and radii, and the temperature ratio of the system components can be determined accurately. The system shows a "temperature reversal" with the more massive component being the cooler one, and both components are found to be active. We analyze X-ray images obtained by Chandra and XMM-Newton containing 2MASS J05352184-0546085 in their respective field of view. The Chandra observatory data show a clear X-ray source at the position of 2MASS J05352184-0546085, whereas the XMM-Newton data suffer from contamination from other nearby sources, but are consistent with the Chandra detection. No indications of flaring activity are found in either of the observations (together about 70 ks), and we thus attribute the observed flux to quiescent emission. With an X-ray luminosity of 3*10^{28} erg/s we find an L_X/L_{bol}-ratio close to the saturation limit of 10^{-3} and an L_{X}/L_{Hα}-ratio consistent with values obtained from low-mass stars. The X-ray detection of 2MASS J05352184-0546085 reported here provides additional support for the interpretation of the temperature reversal in terms of magnetically suppressed convection, and suggests that the activity phenomena of young brown dwarfs resemble those of their more massive counterparts.

description: We provide a family of representations of GL(2n) over a p-adic field that admit a non-vanishing linear functional invariant under the symplectic group (i.e. representations that are Sp(2n)- distinguished). While our result generalizes a result of M. Heumos and S. Rallis our methods, unlike their purely local technique, re- lies on the theory of automorphic forms. The results of this paper together with later works by the authors imply that the family of representations studied in this paper contains all irreducible, unitary representations of the general linear group that are distin- guished by the symplectic group.

TPWRD Special Issue: Advances in Condition Monitoring and Assessment of Power Equipment - Slides
This webinar will first provide an overview on the papers received and published in a recent PWRD's special issue called "Advances in Condition Monitoring and Assessment of Power Equipment". It will also share the impressions of the guest EIC on the R&D trends in this important area. The webinar will then present the best paper selected from the special issue. The paper, entitled "Analytical Expressions to Link SCNF and OCNF of Transformer Windings to Their Inductances and Capacitances for 1-?, 3-? Y and ? Configurations", establishes a mathematical relationship between transformer winding/core movement and the deviation of its frequency responses. This finding has the potential to facilitate a more meaningful interpretation of FRA (frequency response analysis) data, leading to improved transformer condition monitoring. In the main part, a novel approach is presented to derive closed-form analytical expressions that connects harmonic sum of squares of natural frequencies (both SCNF and OCNF) of any winding configuration to its elementary inductances and capacitances. Expressions are derived for all 1-? and 3-? winding configurations. Next, a sneak preview of an application of derived expressions to indirectly measure equivalent air-cored inductance (termed as Leq) of an iron-cored transformer winding, from measured FRA, is discussed. Experiments on 3-?, air-cored, 33 kV, 3.5 MVA winding setup are discussed. Results are cross validated by inductance measurements using an LCR meter. Future thoughts on using Leq as an alternative to leakage reactance measured at 50/60 Hz to provide improved sensitivity for interpreting routine short-circuit test data is discussed. Finally, some insight on using derived expressions to locate radial/axial displacements in Y and ? windings are very briefly presented.
