description: In medieval times, stuccoworkers used a red color, called sinopia, to first create a sketch of the to-be-made statue on the wall. Today, many of these statues are destroyed, but using the original drawings, deriving from the red color also called sinopia, we can reconstruct how the final statue might have looked.We propose a fully-automated approach to reconstruct a point cloud and show preliminary results by generating a color-image, a depth-map, as well as surface normals requiring only a single sketch, and without requiring a collection of other, similar samples. Our proposed solution allows real-time reconstruction on-site, for instance, within an exhibition, or to generate a useful starting point for an expert, trying to manually reconstruct the statue, all while using only synthetic data for training.

description: Perturbative unitarity for $\wlwl$ scattering is discussed within the Randall-Sundrum model. It is shown that the exchange of massive 4D Kaluza-Klein gravitons leads to amplitudes growing linearly with the CM energy squared. Summing over KK gravitons up to a scale $\lbar$ and testing unitarity at $\rts=\lbar$, one finds that unitarity is violated for $\lbar$ below the 'naive dimensional analysis' scale, $\lnda$. It is also shown that the exchange of gravitons can substantially relax the upper limit from unitarity on the mass of the Standard Model Higgs boson - consistency with unitarity for all $\rts$ below $\lbar$ is possible for $\mh$ as large as $ 1.4\tev$, depending on the curvature of the background metric. Observation of the mass and width (or cross section) of one or more KK gravitons at the LHC will directly determine the curvature and the scale $\lw$ specifying the couplings of matter to the KK gravitons. With this information and a measurement of the Higgs boson mass it will be possible to determine the precise $\rts$ value below which unitarity will remain valid.

description: One of the most important changes in observational astronomy of the 21st Century is a rapid shift from classical object-by-object observations to extensive automatic surveys. As CCD detectors are getting better and their prices are getting lower, more and more small and medium-size observatories are refocusing their attention to detection of stellar variability through systematic sky-scanning missions. This trend is aditionally powered by the success of pioneering surveys such as ASAS, DENIS, OGLE, TASS, their space counterpart Hipparcos and others. Such surveys produce massive amounts of data and it is not at all clear how these data are to be reduced and analysed. This is especially striking in the eclipsing binary (EB) field, where most frequently used tools are optimized for object-by-object analysis. A clear need for thorough, reliable and fully automated approaches to modeling and analysis of EB data is thus obvious. This task is very difficult because of limited data quality, non-uniform phase coverage and solution degeneracy. This paper reviews recent advancements in putting together semi-automatic and fully automatic pipelines for EB data processing. Automatic procedures have already been used to process Hipparcos data, LMC/SMC observations, OGLE and ASAS catalogs etc. We discuss the advantages and shortcomings of these procedures.

As the Electric Sector starts to address the challenges of how to transform the grid to accommodate rapid increases in distributed resources and flexible loads, the key to successful scaling is a standardized communications infrastructure. Standardization enables faster, lower-cost integration of renewable and flexible loads. But the choice of communications architecture and the specific standards has a significant impact on the interoperability of the resulting infrastructure and subsequent success. This panel session will explore the three intertwined topics: architectural considerations and models for DER/Flexible Load integration; choosing communications standards and the interoperability challenges and solutions when creating a standardized infrastructure.

We describe the different steps we intend to take to discriminate between planets and stellar companions using the three photometric bands provided by COROT. These steps include the search for secondary transits, the search for ellipsoidal variability, and the study of transit chromaticity. We also discuss the performance of this approach in the context of blind tests organized inside the COROT exoplanet consortium.

The tomb of Fu hao

description: A fully intact Shang Dynasty Anyang phase (c.1300-1100 B.C.) tomb—Xiaotun M5 or better known as the tomb of Fu Hao—was discovered in the Anyang region of Henan province, China in 1976. Although only a 'medium' size burial by Shang standards, the huge quantity of yielded grave goods is unprecedented in Shang archaeology. The inscription 'fu hao' is seen on about half of the 210 ritual bronze vessels from the tomb, and this same name may be seen in the contemporaneous divination records (the oracle bone inscriptions) collected in other Shang sites. It is thus possible to identify the occupant of M5. Another bronze inscription from the tomb, 'si mu xin', further suggests that Fu Hao was one of the consorts of the Shang king Wuding. Many scholars have commented on aspects of this identification and the date of the tomb. This thesis incorporates a synthesis of the discussions along with descriptions of the tomb and its ccontents. The archaeological, art historical and palaeographical materials and their significance are considered in separate sections. An annotated translation of selected Fu Hao-related oracle bone inscriptions is included. In addition, a chapter is given to a new discussion on the placement of large vessels in the tomb — its spatial design principles and significance. The tomb of Fu Hao offers a rare opportunity for us to discern parallels in the Various complementary cultural subsystems of Shang, such as the oracular language and the bronze art, in a relatively enclosed context. In the conclusion, the Weberian model of patrimonialism is employed to propose a perspective of the tomb and its content in a cultural-political context.

description: Optical phonons in nanoparticles with the randomness of interatomic bonds are considered both analytically and numerically. For weak dilute disorder two qualitatively different regimes of separated and overlapped levels are observed, resembling the case of random atomic masses investigated previously. At stronger and/or more dense disorder, the particles become essentially inhomogeneous, thus constituting the minimal model to describe an amorphous phase, where the picture of vibrational modes becomes more subtle. We concentrate here on the experimentally relevant case of strong disorder located near the particle surface and formulate the core-shell model aimed to describe the ubiquitous phenomenon of particle surface amorphization. We observe a peculiar effect of volume optical phonons "repelling" from the disordered shell. It results in the Raman spectrum in the form of a combination of narrow well-resolved peaks stemming from the quantized modes of a pure particle core (red-shifted due to its effective smaller size), and the noisy background signal from the disordered shell placed primarily to the right from the main Raman peak.

Power Grid is one of the most complex distributed engineering systems, which not only encompasses numerous power system assets for generation, transmission, and distribution, but also requires dynamic, sustainable, reliable, and resilient operation in support of uninterrupted social and economic development. The undergoing generation mix shift to high renewable penetration future and the deepening interdependence between power system and communication networks, calls upon national-wide energy stakeholders to collaboratively explore and integrate advanced communication technology (i.e., 5G in deployment phase and 6G on the research horizon).

The 5G performance is critical to bridge the unparallel volume of data from sensors that are embedded in power system equipment and devices found in our homes, buildings, factories, communities, and high-density urban areas. Through a holistic and coordinated evolutionary grid communication planning and pilot use case development, those advanced grid sensors spanning transmission, distribution, distributed resources, and behind-the-meter assets, could provide accurate yet real-time information for grid asset monitoring and control, and collectively provide the best situational awareness to grid operators. Availability of this diverse data from multiple sources also support more efficient use of non-utility energy resources for homes, buildings, campus, transportation, and other participants in a clean-energy economy.

Exploring star formation using the filaments in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release Five (SDSS DR5)

description: We have quantified the average filamentarity of the galaxy distribution in seven nearly two dimensional strips from the SDSS DR5 using a volume limited sample in the absolute magnitude range -21 < M_r < -20. The average filamentarity of star forming (SF) galaxies, which are predominantly blue, is found to be more than that of other galaxies which are predominantly red. This difference is possibly an outcome of the fact that blue galaxies have a more filamentary distribution. Comparing the SF galaxies with only the blue other galaxies, we find that the two show nearly equal filamentarity. Separately analyzing the galaxies with high star formation rates (SFR) and low SFR, we find that the latter has a more filamentary distribution. We interpret this in terms of two effects (1.) A correlation between the SFR and individual galaxy properties like luminosity with the high SFR galaxies being more luminous (2.) A relation between the SFR and environmental effects like the density with the high SFR galaxies preferentially occurring in high density regions. These two effects are possibly not independent and are operating simultaneously. We do not find any difference in the filamentarity of SF galaxies and AGNs.

Publisher: name: IEEE
Year: 2022

PELS Webinar Slides
Abstract: This IEEE PELS Webinar presents of an active defense mechanism for detecting cyber-attacks on sensors controlling a grid-tied PV system. Several possible cyber vulnerabilities in Grid tied PV Systems are discussed. The defense mechanism introduces a private (secret) watermarking signal into the control inputs of the grid-tied inverter system. This will enable the detection of any malicious manipulation of sensor measurements such as data measured via smart meters used to control the inverter. Based on the measured data, and system identification model two statistical tests are conducted to identify anomalies in the system using the presence of the watermarking signal. It shown that when sensor data is compromised and/or replaced by a pre-recorded healthy signal, both test 1 and 2 exhibit high values indicating a possible malicious activity. As an added benefit, the proposed approach can also identify/alert when sensors malfunction. The robustness of the proposed algorithm is tested and validated with several attack scenarios on a grid tied PV system. Select results from an experimental setup are discussed.

This work presents a new comprehensive Incremental Capacity Auction model that considers intra-zonal and inter-zonal constraints with provision to add new inter-zonal transmission lines and distribution system embedded distributed energy resources, while accommodating non-monotonically increasing generator capacity price bids.
Traditional generation and transmission expansion planning has served electric utilities well for several decades to procure the least costing set of assets to meet forecasted demand. Unfortunately, it does not consider a demand curve, in which case it procures generation and transmission assets that do not ensure maximum societal value. An Incremental Capacity Auction (ICA) enables a power system to competitively procure additional generation capacity that maximizes social welfare while satisfying numerous constraints. However, typical ICA designs, zonal or otherwise, do not consider new inter-zonal transmission lines and distributed energy resources (DERs) embedded in distribution systems, promoting suboptimal solutions. To address these shortcomings, this work presents a new comprehensive ICA model that considers intra-zonal and inter-zonal constraints with provision to add new inter-zonal transmission lines and distribution system embedded DERs, while accommodating non-monotonically increasing generator capacity price bids. The proposed zonal ICA model is applied to two systems: (1) a synthetic test system with two zones; and (2) Ontario, Canada's provincial power system with six zones. The Ontario system study considers a realistic demand growth and demonstrates that the proposed zonal ICA model achieves 5.7% higher social welfare considering new inter-zonal transmission enhancements and DERs over existing single-zone methods.

description: Due to the high cost of hiring an attorney, it has been difficult for the impoverished to access justice. This has led to the realization of the necessity of legal aid in enhancing disadvantaged, excluded, and poor populations' access to justice. The purpose of this research was to determine how legal aid schemes in Ghana's Ashanti Region provide legal aid services to meet their clients' legal needs and uphold social justice. The claims made in this study are supported theoretically by justice theory, vertical equity theory, and access rights theory. In terms of methodology, this study used a case study approach with three institutions and 45 respondents from the Kumasi metropolis. These were the Legal Aid Commission, the National Commission for Civic Education, and the Social Welfare Department. These institutions were interviewed using an interview guide. Data from the residents of Kumasi metropolis was collected using both the questionnaire and the interview guide. The research was conducted in the Kumasi metropolis. The sampling of the institutions was purposeful. However, the sampling of the residents was done randomly. Thematic analysis was used. A majority of the respondents were aware of their right to legal aid, but generally, there is a low demand for legal aid services due to financial challenges and the insincerity of the legal aid personnel. To promote legal aid services, the Ministry of Justice, or LAS, should set up a comprehensive electronic tracking system to enable accurate monitoring of civil cases at all state and non-state institutions. The NCCE should also organize outreach activities or create platforms purposefully to educate the public on their right to legal aid and encourage them to seek legal assistance.

description: JNK2). This protein is unique in that it can autophosphorylate, or phosphorylate itself. It was found that these proteins tend to form aggregates of four, or tetramers, when inactive and remain as single units, or monomers, when active. In glioblastoma and lung carcinoma cells, JNK2s are reported to be constitutively, or always, active. This study aimed to investigate a selection of JNK2 mutations determine which of these mutations can alter JNK2 activity and oligomerization state. Results from size-exclusion chromatography and light scattering analysis (SEC-LS) suggested that while the wild type JNK2 exists as a mixture of monomers and tetramers, the activation loop chimera mutant (C177G/N179S) exists only as monomers. Additionally, phosphorylation assay analysis showed increased autophosphorylation activity of the activation loop chimera mutant compared to the wild type. These results suggest that the activation loop may be involved in the mechanism of JNK2 regulation. Elucidation of MAPK regulation mechanisms may allow more effective cancer therapy screening and increase overall understanding of tumor growth mechanisms.

Slides for Webinar: An Integrated Framework for Managing Smart, Sustainable, and Resilient Infrastructure
A new framework for managing infrastructure systems could help transportation, energy, and water organizations harness the power of digitalization and address challenges such as decarbonization and resilience.  To build smarter, more sustainable, and resilient infrastructure, cities need to reimage the infrastructure services they provide, and arrange deeply interconnected technological, social and environmental systems to do so. The Infrastructure Architecture Framework follows two years of collaborative research supported by the United Engineering Foundation and delivered by the New York Academy of Sciences, with support from Mott MacDonald.
The aim was to introduce civil infrastructure leaders to the type of enterprise architecture and systems engineering approaches that have proven effective in managing complex e-commerce, aviation, and defense systems.  Examples from the water, energy, and transportation sectors show how the model can be applied to civil infrastructure. This project demonstrated that an enterprise architecture can provide a systemic approach for describing complex sociotechnical infrastructure systems, their purpose, services, standards, integration and content.
Participants will be exposed to emergent standards and practices for integrating management and information and engineering systems for complex cyber-physical infrastructure systems.

This webinar, part of the new IEEE JSTSP webinar series on recent special issues, will overview the Joint Communication and Radar Sensing for Emerging Applications. The webinar will start with a brief motivation of the area of JCR, followed by a summary of the technical papers that appear in the SI. The next part of the webinar will overview the wider state of the art in JCR based on the overview paper titled An Overview of Signal Processing Techniques for Joint Communication and Radar Sensing. information (CSI) is challenging to obtain at the base station (BS) due to the lack of radio frequency (RF) chains at the IRS. Because most of the existing channel estimation methods were developed to acquire the cascaded BS-IRS-user channels, this talk is the first work to study the robust beamforming based on the imperfect cascaded BS-IRS-user channels at the transmitter (CBIUT). Specifically, the transmit power minimization problems are formulated subject to the worst-case rate constraints under the bounded CSI error model and the rate outage probability constraints under the statistical CSI error model, respectively. After approximating the worst-case rate constraints by using the S-procedure and the rate outage probability constraints by using the Bernstein-type inequality, the reformulated problems can be efficiently solved. Numerical results show that the negative impact of the CBIUT error on the system performance is greater than that of the direct CSI error.number of trainable parameters is much fewer than the data-driven deep-learning-based signal detector, the model-driven deep-learning-based MIMO detector can be rapidly trained with a much smaller data set. The proposed MIMO detector can be extended to soft input-soft output detection easily. Furthermore, we investigate joint MIMO channel estimation and signal detection, where the detector takes channel estimation error and channel statistics into consideration, while channel estimation is refined by detected data and considers the detection error. Based on numerical results, the model-driven deep-learning-based MIMO detector significantly improves the performance of corresponding traditional iterative detectors, outperforms other deep-learning-based MIMO detectors and exhibits superior robustness to various mismatches.

description: We study experimentally the impact of inertial reference frame changes on overdamped Brownian motion. The reference frame changes are implemented by inducing, with a laser, laminar convection flows in a column of fluid where Brownian microspheres are dispersed. The convection flow plays the role of the relative velocity between the laboratory and the fluid comoving frames, and enables us to analyse the consequences of Galilean transformations on Brownian diffusion. We verify in particular how the Brownian dynamics remains "weakly" Galilean invariant, in agreement with recent discussions. We also carefully look at the consequences of Galilean relativity on the Brownian energetics. This leads us to derive a Galilean invariant expression of the stochastic thermodynamic first law, consistent with existing theoretical results. We finally discuss a potential ambiguity of the Galilean relativistic features of diffusive systems that has obvious practical implications in the context of force measurements in external flows.

description: In the context of the existence of primordial black holes (PBHs), they may compose a fraction of the dark matter of the Universe. Assuming that PBHs fill the dark content of the Milky Way Galaxy in the Galactic halo and dark disk, we calculate the probability of collision of the PBHs with Earth. This collision has different consequences as heating the interior of the earth through dynamical friction and accretion processes. In this work, we calculate the rate of collisions and a fraction of black holes that can be trapped inside the earth. Finally, we compare the danger of PBH collision with the asteroid impacts on Earth.

This manuscript presents a data quality analysis and holistic 'machine learning-readiness' evaluation of a representative set of large-scale, real-world phasor measurement unit datasets provided under the United States Department of Energy-funded FOA 1861 research program.
This manuscript presents a data quality analysis and holistic 'machine learning-readiness' evaluation of a representative set of large-scale, real-world phasor measurement unit (PMU) datasets provided under the United States Department of Energy-funded FOA 1861 research program. A major focus of this study is to understand the present-day suitability of large-scale, real-world synchrophasor datasets for application of commercially-available, off-the-shelf big data and supervised or semi-supervised machine learning (ML) tools and catalogue any major obstacles to their application. To this end, dataset quality is methodically examined through an interconnect-wide quantifications of basic bad data occurrences, a summary of several harder-to-detect data quality issues that can jeopardize successful application of machine learning, and an evaluation of the adequacy of event log labeling for supervised training of models used for online event classification. A global 'six-point' statistical analyses of several key dataset variables is demonstrated as a means by which to identify additional hard-to-detect data quality issues, also providing an example successful application of big data technology to extract insights regarding reasonable operational bounds of the US power system. Obstacles for application of commercial ML technologies are summarized, with a particular focus on supervised and semi-supervised ML. Lessons-learned are provided regarding challenges associated with present-day event labeling practices, large spatial scope of the dataset, and dataset anonymization. Finally, insight into efficacy of employed mitigation strategies are discussed, and recommendations for future work are made.

Radion effective potential in brane gas cosmology

description: We consider a cosmological solution which can explain anisotropic evolution of spatial dimensions and the stabilization of extra dimensions in brane gas formalism. We evaluate the effective potentials, induced by brane gas, bulk flux and supergravity particles, which govern the sizes of the observed three and the extra dimensions. It is possible that the wrapped internal volume can oscillate between two turning points or sit at the minimum of the potential while the unwrapped three dimensional volume can expand monotonically. Including the supergravity particles makes the effective potential steeper as the internal volume shrinks.

Population dynamics of the Pribilof Islands North Pacific fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus)
Creators: name: Trites, Andrew W.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A conceptual model is proposed that describes the dynamics of the Pribilof Islands North Pacific fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus). It is suggested that fur seals are regulated most strongly at population levels close to the limits set by the availabilities of food and breeding space. Population growth appears to be primarily regulated by changes in the rates of survival, reproduction, and dispersal of young animals. The proposed conceptual model is used to shape a mathematical formulation that incorporates basic fur seal life history features. The simulation analysis is able to explain the decline of the Pribilof Islands population by reconstructing pup estimates and counts of adult males over the period 1950 to 1980. Simulation results show that commercial female harvesting and a series of poor juvenile survival rates were responsible for the observed decline in pup production on Saint Paul Island. The lower number of bulls counted during the last two decades can be accounted for if adult male survival was higher during the 1950s. The decline in adult male survival, possibly due to debris entanglement, does not appear to be equally true of females. The major driving variable of the fur seal system and the key factor that accounts for the overall decline of the Pribilof herd is the survival of juveniles. In this regard, the continued population decline through the 1980s appears to be maintained by exogenous factors that are independent of current management practices. Model results are considered reliable if simulation parameters (particularly adult survival) contain little error. A detailed procedure for analysing the sensitivity of model output to errors in simulation parameters is described in an adjoining appendix as is a revised procedure for estimating the survival of juvenile fur seals. The thesis concludes with recommendations for future research.
Analytical study of classic models of Hybrid Inflation

description: We study the classic hybrid inflation model in its original and modified forms and show the shape of the inflationary potentials and analyze the amount of primordial gravitational waves each model predicts. We compare the resulting EE-mode and BB-mode power spectrum with the data from the joint BICEP2/Keck and Planck collaboration to check the viability of each model.

description: The neturon rich nucleus 13B was studied via the proton transfer reaction 4He(12Be,13B γ) at 50AMeV. The known 4.83-MeV excited state was strongly populated and its spin and parity were assigned to 1/2+ by comparing the angular differential cross section data with DWBA calculations. This low-lying 1/2+ state is interpreted as a proton intruder state and indicates a deformation of the nucleus.

Spontaneous rotating vortex lattices in a pumped decaying condensate

description: Injection and decay of particles in an inhomogeneous quantum condensate can significantly change its behaviour. We model trapped, pumped, decaying condensates by a complex Gross-Pitaevskii equation and analyse the density and currents in the steady state. With homogeneous pumping, rotationally symmetric solutions are unstable. Stability may be restored by a finite pumping spot. However if the pumping spot is larger than the Thomas-Fermi cloud radius, then rotationally symmetric solutions are replaced by solutions with spontaneous arrays of vortices. These vortex arrays arise without any rotation of the trap, spontaneously breaking rotational symmetry.

A robust extended Kalman filter for power system dynamic state estimation using PMU measurements

description: This paper develops a robust extended Kalman filter to estimate the rotor angles and the rotor speeds of synchronous generators of a multimachine power system. Using a batch-mode regression form, the filter processes together predicted state vector and PMU measurements to track the system dynamics faster than the standard extended Kalman filter. Our proposed filter is based on a robust GM-estimator that bounds the influence of vertical outliers and bad leverage points, which are identified by means of the projection statistics. Good statistical efficiency under the Gaussian distribution assumption of the process and the observation noise is achieved thanks to the use of the Huber cost function, which is minimized via the iteratively reweighted least squares algorithm. The asymptotic covariance matrix of the state estimation error vector is derived via the covariance matrix of the total influence function of the GM-estimator. Simulations carried out on the IEEE 39-bus test system reveal that our robust extended Kalman filter exhibits good tracking capabilities under Gaussian process and observation noise while suppressing observation outliers, even in position of leverage. These good performances are obtained only under the validity of the linear approximation of the power system model.

Private Handshakes

description: Private handshaking allows pairs of users to determine which (secret) groups they are both a member of. Group membership is kept secret to everybody else. Private handshaking is a more private form of secret handshaking, because it does not allow the group administrator to trace users. We extend the original definition of a handshaking protocol to allow and test for membership of multiple groups simultaneously. We present simple and efficient protocols for both the single group and multiple group membership case. Private handshaking is a useful tool for mutual authentication, demanded by many pervasive applications (including RFID) for privacy. Our implementations are efficient enough to support such usually resource constrained scenarios.
