description: Predicting cloud performance from user's perspective is a complex task, because of several factors involved in providing the service to the consumer. In this work, the response time of 10 real-world services is analyzed. We have observed long memory in terms of the measured response time of the CPU-intensive services and statistically verified this observation using estimators of the Hurst exponent. Then, naïve, mean, autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average (ARFIMA) methods are used to forecast the future values of quality of service (QoS) at runtime. Results of the cross-validation over the 10 datasets show that the long-memory ARFIMA model provides the mean of 37.5 % and the maximum of 57.8 % reduction in the forecast error when compared to the short-memory ARIMA model according to the standard error measure of mean absolute percentage error. Our work implies that consideration of the long-range dependence in QoS data can help to improve the selection of services according to their possible future QoS values.

description: Organic cells and dye-sensitized cells developed to-date have a narrow active absorption range, relative
to the spectral range of the available solar resource. Their efficiency could be significantly enhanced through a
process of down-shifting (DS) and up-conversion of non-absorbable photons converting them to photons better
matching the spectral response of the particular solar cell. The DS molecules must exhibit a large Stokes shift and
high luminescent quantum yield when incorporated in the downshifting polymer layer. In this paper, the QY of a
downshifting Europium (III) complex in solution is determined using two distinct experimental techniques. The QY
is measured for varying concentration and at varying excitation wavelength.
Mixed Semiclassical Initial Value Representation Time-Averaging Propagator for Spectroscopic Calculations

description: A mixed semiclassical initial value representation expression for spectroscopic calculations is derived. The formulation takes advantage of the time-averaging filtering and the hierarchical properties of different trajectory based propagation methods. A separable approximation is then introduced that greatly reduces (about an order of magnitude) the computational cost compared with a full Herman-Kluk time-averaging semiclassical calculation for the same systems. The expression is exact for the harmonic case and it is tested numerically for a Morse potential coupled to one or two additional harmonic degrees of freedom. Results are compared to full Herman-Kluk time-averaging calculations and exact quantum wavepacket propagations. We found the peak positions of the mixed semiclassical approximations to be always in very good agreement with full quantum calculations, while overtone peak intensities are lower with respect to the exact ones. Given the reduced computational effort required by this new mixed semiclassical approximation, we believe the present method to make spectroscopic calculations available for higher dimensional systems than accessible before.

description: A novel organic solar cell (OSC) concept is introduced by proposing a multi-layer stacked solar cell. Low thicknesses
of adjacent ultrathin multi-layers maximize exciton diffusion and due to assuming excellent exciton dissociation and
charge carrier transport short-circuit current density (JSC) is optimised. This method allows an estimation of
maximum power conversion efficiency of OSCs independent of any morphology. Maximum power conversion
efficiency of active materials ZnPc and C60 is calculated to slightly less than 9%.

description: Some organizations use software applications to manage their customers' personal, medical, or financial information. In the United States, those software applications are obligated to preserve users' privacy and to comply with the United States federal privacy laws and regulations. To formally guarantee compliance with those regulations, it is essential to extract and model the privacy rules from the text of the law using a formal framework. In this work we propose a goal-oriented framework for modeling and extracting the privacy requirements from regulatory text using natural language processing techniques.
On dependence of rational points on elliptic curves

description: Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb Q$. Let $Γ$ be a subgroup of $E(\mathbb Q)$ and $P\in E(\mathbb Q)$. In [1], it was proved that if $E$ has no nontrivial rational torsion points, then $P\inΓ$ if and only if $P\in Γ$ mod $p$ for finitely many primes $p$. In this note, assuming the General Riemann Hypothesis, we provide an explicit upper bound on these primes when $E$ does not have complex multiplication and either $E$ is a semistable curve or $E$ has no exceptional prime.

description: Wires of sp-hybridized carbon atoms are attracting interest for both fundamental aspects of carbon science and for their appealing functional properties. The synthesis by physical vapor deposition has been reported to provide sp-rich carbon films but still needs to be further developed and understood in detail. Here the synthesis of carbon-atom wires (CAWs) has been achieved by nanosecond pulsed laser deposition (PLD) expoliting the strong out-of-equilibrium conditions occurring when the ablation plasma is confined in a background gas. Surface Enhnaced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of deposited films indicates that CAWs are mixed with a mainly $sp^2$ amorphous carbon in a $sp-sp^2$ hybrid material. Optimal conditions for the deposition of sp-carbon phase have been investigated by changing deposition parameters thus suggesting basic mechanisms of carbon wires formation. Our proof-of-concept may open new perspectives for the targeted fabrication of CAWs and $sp-sp^2$ structures.

Subjects: Health care administration
Organisation and management theory

description: This thesis seeks to understand how knowledge and expertise mobilise—across disciplinary and organisational boundaries—in collaborative networks. It explores the particular challenge of mobilising management methodologies in the healthcare sector. Such management knowledge is not ‘native’ to clinicians. However, clinicians need to engage with these kinds of knowledge in order for healthcare systems to achieve the widely promoted triple aim of healthcare improvement - improving individual care, improving the health of populations and reducing per capita costs. This thesis offers a processual model to help policymakers, managers, and participants of collaborative networks learn to mobilise knowledge more effectively.
Modelling the post-reionization neutral Hydrogen (\HI) bias

description: Observations of the neutral Hydrogen (\HI ) 21-cm signal hold the potential of allowing us to map out the cosmological large scale structures (LSS) across the entire post-reionization era ($z \leq 6$). Several experiments are planned to map the LSS over a large range of redshifts and angular scales, many of these targeting the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations. It is important to model the \HI distribution in order to correctly predict the expected signal, and more so to correctly interpret the results after the signal is detected. In this paper we have carried out semi-numerical simulations to model the \HI distribution and study the \HI power spectrum $P_{\HI}(k,z)$ across the redshift range $1 \le z \le 6$. We have modelled the \HI bias as a complex quantity $\tilde{b}(k,z)$ whose modulus squared $b^2(k,z)$ relates $P_{\HI}(k,z)$ to the matter power spectrum $P(k,z)$, and whose real part $b_r(k,z)$ quantifies the cross-correlation between the \HI and the matter distribution. We study the $z$ and $k$ dependence of the bias, and present polynomial fits which can be used to predict the bias across $0 \le z \le6$ and $0.01 \le k \le 10 \, {\rm Mpc}^{-1}$. We also present results for the stochasticity $r=b_r/b$ which is important for cross-correlation studies.

description: We report experimental studies of conductance and magnetoconductance of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well structures where both wells and barriers are doped by acceptor impurity Be. Temperature dependence of conductance demonstrate a non-monotonic behavior at temperatures around 100 K. At small temperatures (less than 10 K) we observed strong negative magnetoresistance at moderate magnetic field which crossed over to positive magnetoresistance at very strong magnetic fields and was completely suppressed with an increase of temperature. We ascribe these unusual features to effects of temperature and magnetic field on a degree of disorder. The temperature dependent disorder is related to charge redistribution between different localized states with an increase of temperature. The magnetic field dependent disorder is also related by charge redistribution between different centers, however in this case an important role is played by the doubly occupied states of the upper Hubbard band, their occupation being sensitive to magnetic field due to on-site spin correlations. The detailed theoretical model is present.

description: In this work, we consider wormhole geometries in third-order Lovelock gravity and investigate the possibility that these solutions satisfy the energy conditions. In this framework, by applying a specific equation of state, we obtain exact wormhole solutions, and by imposing suitable values for the parameters of the theory, we find that these geometries satisfy the weak energy condition in the vicinity of the throat, due to the presence of higher order curvature terms. Finally, we trace out a numerical analysis, by assuming a specific redshift function, and find asymptotically flat solutions that satisfy the weak energy condition throughout the spacetime.

description: We analyze some enumerative and asymptotic properties of Dyck paths under a line of slope 2/5.This answers to Knuth's problem \\#4 from his "Flajolet lecture" during the conference "Analysis of Algorithms" (AofA'2014) in Paris in June 2014.Our approach relies on the work of Banderier and Flajolet for asymptotics and enumeration of directed lattice paths. A key ingredient in the proof is the generalization of an old trick of Knuth himself (for enumerating permutations sortable by a stack),promoted by Flajolet and others as the "kernel method". All the corresponding generating functions are algebraic,and they offer some new combinatorial identities, which can be also tackled in the A=B spirit of Wilf--Zeilberger--Petkov{\v s}ek.We show how to obtain similar results for other slopes than 2/5, an interesting case being e.g. Dyck paths below the slope 2/3, which corresponds to the so called Duchon's club model.

description: We present a systematical study on the roles of electron correlation and spin-orbit coupling in the isovalent Pd-doped superconductor SrPt$_3$P. By using solid state reaction method, we fabricated the strong spin-orbit coupling superconductors Sr(Pt$_{1-x}$Pd$_x$)$_3$P with strong electron correlated Pd dopant of the $4d$ orbital. As increasing the isovalent Pd concentrations without introducing any extra electron/hole carriers, the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ decreases monotonously, which suggests the existence of competition between spin-orbit coupling and electron correlation in the superconducting state. In addition, the electronic band structure calculations demonstrate that the strength of electron susceptibility is suppressed gradually by the Pd dopant suggesting the incompatible relation between spin-orbit coupling and electron correlation, which is also consistent with experimental measurements. Our results provide significant insights in the natures of the interplay between the spin-orbit coupling and the electron correlation in superconductivity, and may pave a way for understanding the mechanism of superconductivity in this 5d-metal-based compound.

description: In order to reduce the power-generating cost of a silicon solar cell, it is necessary to use a thinner
crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafer together with the excellent light trapping and well passivated surface that are essential
for high-efficiency solar cells. The HIT (Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin-layer) solar cell is an amorphous silicon
(a-Si)/c-Si heterojunction solar cell that has these features. We have experimentally confirmed that the Voc of the
HIT solar cell increased with decreases in the cell thickness and can reach more than 0.74 V. This indicates that the
surface recombination velocity of the HIT structure is extremely low due to excellent passivation on the c-Si surface.
A conversion efficiency of 22.8 % has been achieved with a 98-μm thick CZ c-Si (100.3-cm2) cell.

Our survey covers an area of $\sim$150 deg$^2$ observed by $Herschel$ H-ATLAS in five bands at 100, 160, 250, 350 and 500$μ$m. The SDSS spectroscopic survey ($m_{r} \le 17.8)$ is used to define an area (within the Virial radius) and redshift selected ($4268 < v < 9700$ km s$^{-1}$) sample of 744 Coma cluster galaxies - the Coma Cluster Catalogue (CCC). For comparison we also define a sample of 951 galaxies in the connecting filament - the Coma Filament Catalogue (CFC). The optical positions and parameters are used to define appropriate apertures to measure each galaxy's far infrared emission. We have detected 99 of 744 (13\%) and 422 of 951 (44\%) of the cluster and filament galaxies in the SPIRE 250$μ$m band. We consider the relative detection rates of galaxies of different morphological types finding that it is only the S0/Sa population that shows clear differences between the cluster and filament. We find no differences between the dust masses and temperatures of cluster and filament galaxies with the exception of early type galaxy dust temperatures, which are significantly hotter in the cluster than in the filament (X-ray heating?). From a chemical evolution model we find no evidence for different evolutionary processes (gas loss or infall) between galaxies in the cluster and filament.

description: In the castle of Traismauer, a picturesque city in the heart of Lower Austria at the mouth of the river Traisen into the Danube, the new exhibition ‘Treasures of Traismauer’ (’Traismaurer Schätze’) opened recently. Traismauer, ancient ‘Augustianis,’ was one of several Roman forts along the right bank of the Danube. With a chain of defensive buildings and the connecting Limes road, the Romans secured their northern border. Outstanding remains of this place are preserved to this day and were recently declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The exhibition presents the visitors with a holistic picture of the Roman settlement, showing well-known and several recent archaeological discoveries from Traismauer’s Roman period, researched by commercial archaeologists from companies like ARDIG and the Bundesdenkmalamt (Austrian Federal Monuments Authority). But not only ‘treasures’ from Roman times can be visited in the rooms of Traismauer Castle. Dedicated Traismauer residents have searched for traces through the city and tracked down patterns on houses, squares, and nature. Furthermore, contemporary program booklets, original music scores by great composers such as Strauss and Ziehrer, and many other treasures that make the hearts of music lovers beat faster are on display.

description: Most users of online services have unique behavioral or usage patterns. These behavioral patterns can be exploited to identify and track users by using only the observed patterns in the behavior. We study the task of identifying users from statistics of their behavioral patterns. Specifically, we focus on the setting in which we are given histograms of users' data collected during two different experiments. We assume that, in the first dataset, the users' identities are anonymized or hidden and that, in the second dataset, their identities are known. We study the task of identifying the users by matching the histograms of their data in the first dataset with the histograms from the second dataset. In recent works, the optimal algorithm for this user identification task is introduced. In this paper, we evaluate the effectiveness of this method on three different types of datasets and in multiple scenarios. Using datasets such as call data records, web browsing histories, and GPS trajectories, we show that a large fraction of users can be easily identified given only histograms of their data; hence these histograms can act as users' fingerprints. We also verify that simultaneous identification of users achieves better performance compared to one-by-one user identification. We show that using the optimal method for identification gives higher identification accuracy than heuristics-based approaches in practical scenarios. The accuracy obtained under this optimal method can thus be used to quantify the maximum level of user identification that is possible in such settings. We show that the key factors affecting the accuracy of the optimal identification algorithm are the duration of the data collection, the number of users in the anonymized dataset, and the resolution of the dataset. We analyze the effectiveness of k-anonymization in resisting user identification attacks on these datasets.

description: We experimentally demonstrate enhanced wavelength conversion in a Q=7500 deeply etched AlGaAs-nanowaveguide microresonator via degenerate continuous-wave four-wave mixing with a pump power of 24 mW. The maximum conversion efficiency is -43 dB and accounts for 12 dB enhancement compared to that of a straight nanowaveguide. The experimental results and theoretical predictions agree very well and show optimized conversion efficiency of -15 dB. This work represents a step toward realizing a fully integrated optical devices for generating new optical frequencies.

description: The intrinsic stochasticity of gene expression is usually mitigated in higher eukaryotes by post-transcriptional regulation channels that stabilise the output layer, most notably protein levels. The discovery of small non-coding RNAs (miRNAs) in specific motifs of the genetic regulatory network has led to identifying noise buffering as the possible key function they exert in regulation. Recent in vitro} and in silico studies have corroborated this hypothesis. It is however also known that miRNA-mediated noise reduction is hampered by transcriptional bursting in simple topologies. Here, using stochastic simulations validated by analytical calculations based on van Kampen's expansion, we revisit the noise-buffering capacity of the miRNA-mediated Incoherent Feed Forward Loop (IFFL), a small module that is widespread in the gene regulatory networks of higher eukaryotes, in order to account for the effects of intermittency in the transcriptional activity of the modulator gene. We show that bursting considerably alters the circuit's ability to control static protein noise. By comparing with other regulatory architectures, we find that direct transcriptional regulation significantly outperforms the IFFL in a broad range of kinetic parameters. This suggests that, under pulsatile inputs, static noise reduction may be less important than dynamical aspects of noise and information processing in characterising the performance of regulatory elements.

description: A low production cost and area scalable dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) was accomplished by producing a
micro-mesh DSC which has micro-honeycomb metal wiring. The micro-metal wiring was used for the electron
conduction layer as a substitute for a transparent conductive oxide layer (TCO).
Since DSC was reported by Grätzel’s group, it was expected to lead to low cost next-generation solar cells, and
photo-conversion efficiency was improved to over 11%. However it saw a bottleneck in both aspects of module cost and
area scalability. A metal mesh layer could produce the desired light harvesting properties and charge collection
properties.
In this study, we focus on fabricating a mesh-DSC for a lower cost and area scalable module which has a high
conversion efficiency photovoltaic performance. The electrode layout was designed to optimize the electronic and
optical properties in terms of characteristics such as sheet resistance and transparency simulation. Micro- to nanometerlevel
linewidth mesh metal structures were fabricated from titanium and tungsten. A mesh-DSC shows high conductivity
and high transparency compared with an FTO. In addition, the resistance to electrolyte erosion and sintering
temperature were confirmed. Finally, the IV characteristics were evaluated; a mesh-DSC shows the same photo
conversion efficiencies as a conventional FTO-based DSC. Therefore, we confirmed that micro-honeycomb wiring
could be used for a DSC conduction layer and give it a high energy conversion efficiency photovoltaic performance.

description: Here, we investigate the use of Ag nanoparticle array electrodes on the optical characteristics of
polythiophene semiconductor thin films and photovoltaic devices both experimentally and theoretically.
Nanostructured electrodes are fabricated by evaporation of Ag through nanoporous alumina masks, and subsequent
removal of the alumina. The evolution of reflected light spectra from the devices, as a function of nanoparticle height
is studied experimentally and using finite-difference-time-domain simulations. Absorption in the active layer is
enhanced by factors of 5-10 in the 570 to 750 nm wavelength range at the red of the polythiophene absorption band
using nanoparticles with height:diameter aspect ratios of more than 1. Additionally, the enhanced absorption leads to
improved red response in the photocurrent spectra of fabricated test devices.

description: The XAFS beamline at Elettra Synchrotron in Trieste combines X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction to provide chemically specific structural information of materials. It operates in the energy range 2.4-27 keV by using a silicon double reflection Bragg monochromator. The fluorescence measurement is performed in place of the absorption spectroscopy when the sample transparency is too low for transmission measurements or the element to study is too diluted in the sample. We report on the development and on the preliminary tests of a new prototype detector based on Silicon Drift Detectors technology and the SIRIO ultra low noise front-end ASIC. The new system will be able to reduce drastically the time needed to perform fluorescence measurements, while keeping a short dead time and maintaining an adequate energy resolution to perform spectroscopy. The custom-made silicon sensor and the electronics are designed specifically for the beamline requirements.

Magnetized galactic halos and velocity lags

description: We present an analytic model of a magnetized galactic halo surrounding a Mestel gravitating disc. The magnetic field is taken to be in energy equipartition with the pressure dominant rotating halo gas ({\it not} with the cosmic rays), and the whole system is in a steady state. A more flexible `anisotropic equipartition' model is also explored. A definite pressure law is required to maintain the equilibrium, but the halo density is constant. The velocity/magnetic system is scale-free. The objective is to find the rotational velocity lag in such a halo. The magnetic field is not force-free so that angular momentum may be transported from the halo to the intergalactic medium. We find that the `X'-shaped structure observed for halo magnetic fields can be obtained together with a simple analytic formula for the rate of decline of the velocity with height $z$. The formula also predicts the change in lag with radius, $r$.

description: A nanoporous zinc oxide structure has been electrodeposition on various substrates. In a first time, deposition
on a ZnO nanorods template led to the formation of hierarchical structures with a large surface area assured by the
nanoporous structure and an efficient carrier transfer of the electrons through the ZnO nanorods. An optimal balance
between the parameters of the ZnO nanorods template and the nanoporous structure has been found and cell efficiencies
up to 3% could be registered with D149 as sensitizer. In a second time, deposition on sputtered Al:ZnO as transparent
conducting oxide has been performed. A strong adherence to the substrate, which is crucial to its structure, and a highly
homogeneous and organized structure could be obtained. Pores in the ZnO material are found to be regular and
perpendicular to the substrate. Dye-sensitized solar cells prepared with this structure could achieve efficiencies up to
4.1% and 4.4% with N719 and D149 respectively as sensitizers.

description: We present the detailed study of the spin kinetics of the nitrogen (N) donor electrons in 6H SiC wafers grown by Lely method and by sublimation "sandwich method" (SSM) with a donor concentration of about 10^17 cm^-3 at T = 10-40 K. The donor electrons of the N donors substituting quasi-cubic "k1" and "k2" sites (Nk1,k2) in both types of the samples revealed the similar temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation rate (T1^-1), which was described by the direct one-phonon and two-phonon processes induced by the acoustic phonons proportional to T and to T^9, respectively. The character of the temperature dependence of the T1^-1 for the donor electrons of N substituting hexagonal ("h") site (Nh) in both types of 6H SiC samples indicates that the donor electrons relax through the fast-relaxing centers by means of the cross-relaxation process. The observed enhancement of the phase memory relaxation rate (Tm^-1) with the temperature increase for the Nh donors in both types of the samples, as well as for the Nk1,k2 donors in Lely grown 6H SiC, was explained by the growth of the free electron concentration with the temperature increase and their exchange scattering at the N donor centers. The observed significant shortening of the phase memory relaxation time Tm for the Nk1,k2 donors in the SSM grown sample with the temperature lowering is caused by hopping motion of the electrons between the occupied and unoccupied states of the N donors at Nh and Nk1,k2 sites. The impact of the N donor pairs, triads, distant donor pairs formed in n-type 6H SiC wafers on the spin relaxation times was discussed.

description: The crop plant sorghum can generate hydrogen cyanide as a defence against herbivores, in a process known as cyanogenesis. This thesis explores the diversity and evolution of cyanogenesis in domesticated and closely related wild species of sorghum. It contributes to a growing body of evidence suggesting that compounds in the cyanogenic pathway are not restricted to purely defensive roles. The findings provide insights into the use of wild species as a way to improve the performance of crop species.

description: Understanding the quality of irradiance measurements is an essential part of PV monitoring. For
precise estimation of solar radiation all of its properties must be considered. There are two different ways to describe
irradiance – broadband and spectral. Broadband irradiance measurements are by far the most commonly applied
technique and can be undertaken by the use of pyranometers or calibrated reference cells. Broadband measurements
give integrated power over a specified bandwidth. Spectral irradiance describes not only the integrated energy of the
sunlight, but also its distribution by wavelength. PV modules are strictly wavelength selective devices. Their spectral
sensitivity depends mostly on the cell material technology. Spectral effects can be observed at their most extreme for
thin-film a-Si modules. Knowing the accurate intensity and spectral distribution of the sunlight may have a
significant influence on accurate prediction of the available energy for different types of PV device.
Strategic parental investment: Cannibalism and courtship in fishes with exclusive paternal care

description: Focusing on species of fish where males provide all of the parental care this thesis examines the conditions that lead to fathers eating their own offspring. It also investigates whether parental status influences male courtship behaviour. It finds that males are more likely to eat their own young when they will be costly to raise, and, in some instances, where doing so can help the male breed again. However, males did not adjust their courtship behaviour immediately after acquiring a clutch of eggs. Together, these findings highlight the complexity and variability in mating and parental effort among paternal caring species.

description: A study is conducted of real PV production from two 100 kWp grid-connected installations located in
the same area, both of which experience the same fluctuations in temperature and radiation. Data sets on production
were collected over an entire year and both installations were compared under various levels of radiation. The
installations were assembled with mono-Si panels, mounted on the same support system, and the power supply was
equal for the inverter and the measurement system; the same parameters were also used for the wiring and electrical
losses were calculated in both cases. The critical difference between the two installations is the type of panel. The
results, in economic terms, highlight the importance of properly selecting the system components for maximum
profitability.

description: With increased penetration of PV generation in the power grid, it becomes necessary to control the PV
generation similar to the conventional power sources. For small-scale grid-connected PV system, on-site
consumption can be matched with the PV generation by either utilizing demand response mechanisms or storage
batteries. This paper provides the path efficiency analysis for grid-connected inverter system with storage battery. The
proposed energy management scheme is based on the financial profit of cycling the energy through storage battery.
Closed-form approximations for option prices in stochastic volatility models via the mixing solution

description: We consider the classical European option pricing problem in a general stochastic volatility framework with time-dependent parameters. It is possible to express the price of a European option as the expectation of a functional of the integrated variance process. In particular, this functional itself is similar to that of a Black-Scholes formula, which possesses many well studied properties. From there, it is possible to utilise expansion techniques to approximate the option price in a closed-form manner. We achieve this using two different types of approaches, one contingent on change of measure techniques, the other on Malliavin calculus machinery.
