description: A recently formulated conjecture of Gamayun, Iorgov and Lisovyy gives an asymptotic expansion of the Jimbo--Miwa--Ueno isomonodromic $τ$-function for certain Painlevé transcendents. The coefficients in this expansion are given in terms of conformal blocks of a two-dimensional conformal field theory, which can be written as infinite sums over pairs of partitions. In this note a discrete matrix model is proposed on a lattice whose partition function can be used to obtain a multiple integral representation for the length restricted partial sums of the Painlevé conformal blocks. This leads to expressions of the partial sums involving Hänkel determinants associated to the discrete measure of the matrix model, or equivalently, Wronskians of the corresponding moment generating function which is shown to be of the generalized hypergeometric type.

description: This document is a peer-reviewed report that synthesizes unpublished and published information on shorebird population trends, threats to shorebird populations, shorebird habitat use, shorebird energetic requirements, and horseshoe crab egg abundance. Although several shorebird species were considered in the report, attention primarily focused on the red knot (Calidris canutus rufa). Available information was greatest for the red knot and was less extensive for the ruddy turnstone, sanderling, semipalmated sandpiper, and least sandpiper. Aside from the least sandpiper, which was chosen because of its contrasting use of marsh habitats, all other species were selected because of their reliance on beach habitats and their frequency of occurrence on Delaware Bay aerial surveys. The report lists conclusions, management recommendations, and information needs.

description: Topological insulators are materials characterized by dissipationless, spin-polarized surface states resulting from non-trivial band topologies. Recent theoretical models and experiments suggest that SmB6 is the first topological Kondo insulator, in which the topologically non-trivial band structure results from electron-electron interactions via Kondo hybridization. Here, we report that the surface conductivity of SmB6 increases systematically with bulk carbon content. Further, addition of carbon is linked to an increase in n-type carriers, larger low temperature electronic contributions to the specific heat with a characteristic temperature scale of T* = 17 K, and a broadening of the crossover to the insulating state. Additionally, X-ray absorption spectroscopy shows a change in Sm valence at the surface. Our results highlight the importance of phonon dynamics in producing a Kondo insulating state and demonstrate a correlation between the bulk thermodynamic state and low temperature resistance of SmB6.
Galilean invariance in confined quantum systems: Implications on spectral gaps, superfluid flow, and periodic order

description: Galilean invariance leaves its imprint on the energy spectrum and eigenstates of $N$ quantum particles, bosons or fermions, confined in a bounded domain. It endows the spectrum with a recurrent structure which in capillaries or elongated traps of length $L$ and cross-section area $s_\perp$ leads to spectral gaps $n^2h^2s_\perpρ/(2mL)$ at wavenumbers $2nπs_\perpρ$, where $ρ$ is the number density and $m$ is the particle mass. In zero temperature superfluids, in toroidal geometries, it causes the quantization of the flow velocity with the quantum $h/(mL)$ or that of the circulation along the toroid with the known quantum $h/m$. Adding a "friction" potential which breaks Galilean invariance, the Hamiltonian can have a superfluid ground state at low flow velocities but not above a critical velocity which may be different from the velocity of sound. In the limit of infinite $N$ and $L$, if $N/L=s_\perpρ$ is kept fixed, translation invariance is broken, the center of mass has a periodic distribution, while superfluidity persists at low flow velocities. This conclusion holds for the Lieb-Liniger model.

description: Aim The aim of this study was to explore the influence of peer-assisted learning (PAL) on enhancing the learning of undergraduate nursing students in clinical practice. Background PAL is an initiative whereby students acquire knowledge and skills through the active help provided by peers. PAL currently exists within academic and clinical skills settings to support the enhancement of student knowledge. Despite this, there has been limited exploration of PAL in the area of nursing clinical practice. Methods A three-phase approach was adopted. Firstly, a qualitative systematic review on the experiences of undergraduate nursing student in PAL in clinical practice was conducted. An ethnographic approach was used in Phase two to observe student nurses engaging in PAL, across two fields of child health and adult nursing within two clinical settings. In the final Phase, a meta-ethnography was conducted to synthesise all findings within the previous two phases and develop a new conceptual model for PAL. Findings Three main themes arose from the first two phases that then informed Phase three. Here a conceptual model for PAL was created, underpinned by four themes and six sub-themes: 1) ‘Social’ whereby ‘connecting with peers’ is an important part in peer-assisted learning. 2) ‘Enabling’ each other through ‘collaborative support for advice and guidance’ and ‘reducing anxiety/increasing confidence.’ 3) ‘Organisational’ aspects are important in ‘establishing structure and navigating practice’ as well as ‘establishing the role of the PAL.’ 4) Finally ‘learning’ knowledge and skills through ‘sharing of practice experience’ and ‘enhancing knowledge of care.’ Conclusions The study adds new knowledge about the value of PAL among nursing students in clinical practice and provides a conceptual model that has never before existed. By learning together, student nurse peers support each other, to learn and develop the skills required to make them into proficient nurses of the future.

description: The aim of this work was to improve the understanding of dry matter losses (DML) that occur in wood chips during the initial phase of storage in outdoor piles. For this purpose, a laboratory scale storage chamber was developed and investigated regarding its ability to recreate the conditions that chips undergo during the initial phase of outdoor storage. Three trials with poplar Max-4 (Populus maximowiczii Henry Populus nigra L.) chips were performed for 6–10 weeks in the storage chamber under controlled temperature and assisted humidity. Two different setups were investigated to maintain a high relative humidity (RH) inside the storage chamber; one using water containers, and one assisted with a humidifier. Moisture content (MC) and DML of the chips were measured at different storage times to evaluate their storage behaviour in the chamber. Additionally, microbiological analyses of the culturable fraction of saproxylic microbiota were performed, with a focus on mesophilic fungi, but discriminating also xerophilic fungi, and mesophilic bacteria, with focus on actinobacteria, in two trials, to gain a view on the poplar wood chip-inhabiting microorganisms as a function of storage conditions (moisture, temperature) and time. Results show that DML up to 8.8–13.7% occurred in the chips within 6–10 storage weeks. The maximum DML were reached in the trial using the humidifier, which seemed a suitable technique to keep a high RH in the testing chamber, and thus, to analyse the wood chips in conditions comparable to those in outdoor piles during the initial storage phase.

description: AquaCrop is a water-driven model that simulates the effect of environment and management on crop production under deficit irrigation. The model was calibrated and validated using three databases and four irrigation treatments (i.e., 100%ET, 80%ET, 70%ET, and 50%ET). Model performance was evaluated by simulating canopy cover (CC), biomass accumulation, and water productivity (WP). Statistics of root mean square error (RMSE) and Willmott’s index of agreement (d) showed that model predictions are suitable for non-stressed and moderate stressed conditions. The results showed that the simulated biomass and yield were consistent with the measured values with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.976 and 0.950, respectively. RMSE and d-index values for canopy cover (CC) were 2.67% to 4.47% and 0.991% to 0.998% and for biomass were 0.088 to 0.666 ton/ha and 0.991 to 0.999 ton/ha, respectively. Prediction of simulated and measured biomass and final yield was acceptable with deviation ˂10%. The overall value of R2 for WP in terms of yield was 0.943. Treatment with 80% ET consumed 20% less water than the treatment with 100%ET and resulted in high WP in terms of yield (0.6 kg/m3) and biomass (1.74 kg/m3), respectively. The deviations were in the range of −2% to 11% in yield and −2% to 4% in biomass. It was concluded that AquaCrop is a useful tool in predicting the productivity of cotton under different irrigation scenarios.

description: We investigate how local parity breaking (LPB) due to large topological fluctuations may affect hadron physics. A distorted dispersion relation is derived for the lightest vector mesons $ρ$ and $ω$. They are characterised by a mass splitting depending on their polarization. We present a detailed analysis of the angular distribution associated to the lepton pairs created from these mesons searching for polarization dependencies. Two angular variables are found to carry the main information related to the parity breaking effect. Possible signatures for experimental detection of local parity breaking that could potentially be seen by the PHENIX and STAR collaborations are discussed.

description: We describe a co-design approach to design the online WebSoKeyTo used to design AAC. This co-design was carried out between a team of therapists and a team of human-computer interaction researchers. Our approach begins with the use and evaluation of an existing SoKeyTo AAC design application. This step was essential in the awareness and definition of the needs by the therapists and in the understanding of the poor usability scores of SoKeyTo by the researchers. We then describe the various phases (focus group, brainstorming, prototyping) with the co-design choices retained. An evaluation of WebSoKeyTo is in progress.

description: These State of the Art (SOTA) performance levels apply to all types of graphic arts technologies.  Graphic arts means the application of text and/or images to a substrate via lithographic, screen, rotogravure, flexography, letterpress, or printing process including any related coating or laminating operations.  Performance levels consist of either add-on controls or the use of reformulated inks, coatings, and adhesives (i.e., pollution prevention).  Important terms related to graphic arts include lithographic printing, fountain solution, heatset, non-heatset, flexographic printing, rotogravure printing, screen printing, and letterpress printing.  As promulgated in the New Jersey Air Pollution Control Act N.J.S.A. 26:2C-9.2C, and as set forth in the implementing regulations of the Air Pollution Control Act (N.J.A.C. 7:27-8 and N.J.A.C. 7:27-22.35), newly constructed, reconstructed, or modified equipment and control apparatus is required to incorporate advances in the art of air pollution control developed for the kind and amount of air contaminant emitted by the applicant's equipment or control apparatus.  The Air Pollution Control Act of New Jersey directed the Department to publish technical manuals that would include performance levels with respect to air pollution control, to be used by some permit applicants for demonstrating advances in the art of air pollution control.  'Advances in the art of air pollution control' is commonly referred to as 'State-of-the-Art' or SOTA.  SOTA generally includes performance limits that are based on air pollution control technology, pollution prevention methods, and process modifications or substitutions that will provide the greatest emission reductions that are technologically and economically feasible.  There are 17 SOTA manuals included in this series.  They cover the following topics:  volatile organic storage tanks; transfer operations; petroleum refineries; asphalt plants; chemical and pharmaceutical processing and manufacturing industries; degreasers and other solvent based metal surface cleaners; surface coating operations; commercial sterilizers and fumigators using ethylene oxide; municipal wastewater/sludge handling and treatment systems; non-hazardous onsite remediation processes; bakery ovens; broilers; internal combustion engines; stationary gas turbines; glass industry; paint, ink, and adhesive manufacturing industries; graphic arts industry.

description: In railway transportation, each train needs to have a timetable that specifies which track at which time will be occupied by it. This task can be addressed by automatization techniques both in generating a timetable and in optimizing an existing one. In this paper, we give an overview on the state of the art of these techniques. We study the computation of a technically valid slot for a train that guarantees a (short) spatial and temporal way through the network. Furthermore, the construction of a cyclic timetable where trains operate e.g. every 60 minutes, and the simultaneous construction of timetables for multiple trains are considered in this paper. Finally, timetables also need to be robust against minor delays. We will review the state of the art in the literature for these aspects of railway timetabling with respect to models, solution algorithms, complexity results and applications in practice.

description: We show that typicality holds for a class of nonequilibrium systems, i.e., nonequilibrium steady states (NESSs): almost all the pure states properly sampled from a certain Hilbert space well represent a NESS and characterize its intrinsic thermal nature. We clarify the relevant Hilbert space from which the pure states are to be sampled, and construct practically all the typical pure NESSs. The scattering approach leads us to the natural extension of the typicality for equilibrium systems. Each pure NESS correctly yields the expectation values of observables given by the standard ensemble approach. It means that we can calculate the expectation values in a NESS with only a single pure NESS. We provide an explicit construction of the typical pure NESS for a model with two reservoirs, and see that it correctly reproduces the Landauer-type formula for the current flowing steadily between the reservoirs.

description: Nutrient concentrations in livestock manures and biogas digestates show a huge variability due to disparities in animal husbandry systems concerning animal species, feed composition, etc. Therefore, a nutrient estimation based on recommendation tables is not reliable when the exact chemical composition is needed. The alternative, to analyse representative fertilizer samples in a standard laboratory, is too time-and cost-intensive to be an accepted routine method for farmers. However, precise knowledge about the actual nutrient concentrations in liquid organic fertilizers is a prerequisite to ensure optimal nutrient supply for growing crops and on the other hand to avoid environmental problems caused by overfertilization. Therefore, spectrometric methods receive increasing attention as fast and low-cost alternatives. This review summarizes the present state of research based on optical spectrometry used at laboratory and field scale for predicting several parameters of liquid organic manures. It emphasizes three categories: (1) physicochemical parameters, e.g., dry matter, pH, and electrical conductivity; (2) main plant nutrients, i.e., total nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and sulfur; and (3) micronutrients, i.e., manganese, iron, copper, and zinc. Furthermore, the commonly used sample preparation techniques, spectrometer types, measuring modes, and chemometric methods are presented. The primarily promising scientific results of the last 30 years contributed to the fact that near-infrared spectrometry (NIRS) was established in commercial laboratories as an alternative method to wet chemical standard methods. Furthermore, companies developed technical setups using NIRS for on-line applications of liquid organic manures. Thus, NIRS seems to have evolved to a competitive measurement procedure, although parts of this technique still need to be improved to ensure sufficient accuracy, especially in quality management.

description: HDE228766 is a very massive binary system hosting a secondary component, which is probably in an intermediate evolutionary stage between an Of supergiant and an WN star. The wind of this star collides with the wind of its O8 II companion, leading to relatively strong X-ray emission. Measuring the orbital variations of the line-of-sight absorption toward the X-ray emission from the wind-wind interaction zone yields information on the wind densities of both stars. X-ray spectra have been collected at three key orbital phases to probe the winds of both stars. Optical photometry has been gathered to set constraints on the orbital inclination of the system. The X-ray spectra reveal prominent variations of the intervening column density toward the X-ray emission zone, which are in line with the expectations for a wind-wind collision. We use a toy model to set constraints on the stellar wind parameters by attempting to reproduce the observed variations of the relative fluxes and wind optical depths at 1 keV. The lack of strong optical eclipses sets an upper limit of about 68 degrees on the orbital inclination. The analysis of the variations of the X-ray spectra suggests an inclination in the range 54 - 61 degrees and indicates that the secondary wind momentum ratio exceeds that of the primary by at least a factor 5. Our models further suggest that the bulk of the X-ray emission arises from the innermost region of the wind interaction zone, which is from a region whose outer radius, as measured from the secondary star, lies between 0.5 and 1.5 times the orbital separation.

description: In real-world applications for automatic guided vehicle (AGV) navigation, the positioning system based on the time-of-flight (TOF) measurements between anchors and tags is confronted with the problem of insufficient measurements caused by blockages to radio signals or lasers, etc. Mounting multiple tags at different positions of the AGV to collect more TOFs is a feasible solution to tackle this difficulty. Vehicle localization by exploiting the measurements between multiple tags and anchors is a rigid body localization (RBL) problem, which estimates both the position and attitude of the vehicle. However, the state-of-the-art solutions to the RBL problem do not deal with missing measurements, and thus will result in degraded localization availability and accuracy in harsh environments. In this paper, different from these existing solutions for RBL, we model this problem as a sensor network localization problem with missing TOFs. To solve this problem, we propose a new efficient RBL solution based on Euclidean distance matrix (EDM) completion, abbreviated as ERBL-EDMC. Firstly, we develop a method to determine the upper and lower bounds of the missing measurements to complete the EDM reliably, using the known relative positions between tags and the statistics of the TOF measurements. Then, based on the completed EDM, the global tag positions are obtained from a coarse estimation followed by a refinement step assisted with inter-tag distances. Finally, the optimal vehicle position and attitude are obtained iteratively based on the estimated tag positions from the previous step. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed ERBL-EDMC method effectively solves the RBL problem with incomplete measurements. It obtains the optimal positioning results while maintaining low computational complexity compared with the existing RBL methods based on semi-definite relaxation.

description: The Delaware Riverkeeper Network (DRN) works to protect and restore the Delaware River, its tributaries and habitats. The DRN works throughout the entire Delaware River Watershed, which includes portions of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and New York. This DRN report is designed to be a tool for volunteer monitors and stream advocates to present data to local decision-makers and communities when speaking for their local streams. The report summarizes five year's of DRN River Tracker and Bug Madness data and also highlights examples of how watershed groups, DRN, and citizen monitors have used their data to protect their local streams, an essential ingredient to the volunteer monitoring process.  Please note: Specific data summaries are not included in this pdf version in order to protect how our volunteer monitoring data is used. Table 2 lists the streams and sample locations for which we have data available.

description: We show that different conventions for Bloch Hamiltonians on non-Bravais lattices correspond to different natural definitions of parallel transport of Bloch eigenstates. Generically the Berry curvatures associated with these parallel transports differ, while physical quantities are naturally related to a canonical choice of the parallel transport.

Applications of Berkovich spaces

description: This thesis applies the techniques of non-archimedean geometry to the study of degenerations and compactifications of algebraic varieties. The central object we investigate is the so-called essential skeleton, a combinatorial object that lies embedded in non-archimedean spaces and encodes an important part of the geometry of the space. This originates in the work of Kontsevich and Soibelman on mirror symmetry, an important development in algebraic geometry that has its roots in mathematical physics. The interplay of the theory of Berkovich spaces, the ideas of mirror symmetry and the tools of birational geometry gives form and meaning to the study of the essential skeleton. Chapters 3 and 4 are built on the research paper The essential skeleton of a product of degenerations, in collaboration with Morgan Brown [BM19]. We establish the behaviour of the essential skeleton under some natural operations, and we merge the language of logarithmic geometry into the construction of Berkovich skeletons. As main application, we compute the essential skeleton of some degenerations of hyperkähler varieties. We consider Hilbert schemes of a semistable degeneration of K3 surfaces, and generalised Kummer constructions applied to a semistable degeneration of abelian surfaces. In both cases we find that the dual complex of the 2n-dimensional degeneration is homeomorphic to a point, n-simplex, or CPn, depending on the type of the degeneration and in accordance with the predictions of mirror symmetry. Chapters 5 to 7 are based on the joint work Essential skeletons of pairs and the geometric P=W conjecture with Mirko Mauri and Matthew Stevenson [MMS18]. We introduce and study an explicit formulation of the weight function, a key tool to define the essential skeleton, in the case of varieties defined over a non-archimedean trivially-valued field. As a result, we employ these techniques to compute the dual boundary complexes of certain character varieties: this provides the first evidence for the geometric P=W conjecture in the compact case, and the first application of Berkovich geometry in non-abelian Hodge theory.

description: This is a Fish Consumption Advisory Listing for 2006, by River Basin in Pennsylvania: Delaware River Basin, Susquehanna River Basin, Ohio River Basin, Lake Erie Basin, and Potomac River Basin. While this document refers to water bodies in Pennsylvania, waters in the Delaware River Basin are located near or adjacent to New Jersey. Fish are nutritious and good to eat, but some fish may take in contaminants from the water they live in and the food they eat. This advisory helps you plan what recreationally caught sport fish to keep as well as how often and how much sport fish to eat. It is not intended to discourage people from eating fish, but should be used as a guide to minimize the exposure to contaminants.

description: The adverse effect of the use of fossil fuels on the environment and public health has given rise to a sustained renewable energy research and development. An important component of global renewable energy mix is the use of loose biomass, including agricultural and forestry residues, to produce solid fuels in the form of briquettes. Briquettes play a significant role in bioenergy mix in developing and developed countries. The production of biomass briquettes often entails the collection, transportation, storage, processing, and compaction of loose biomass that meet specific quality parameters. The densification process often involves the addition of binders to improve the cohesive strength of the briquette material. This paper surveys recent literature from 2012 to 2021 to establish the current state of research on the use of binders in briquette production; and reviews current parameters used in assessing the quality of biomass briquettes with focus on mechanical and handling properties. While a number of quality parameters were identified, their assessment methodologies varied widely in the literature, thus necessitating standardization for comparability purposes. The review also includes factors affecting the wide production and adoption of biomass briquettes in most developing economies and proposes ways of overcoming the bottlenecks.
