description: Researchers in genetics and other life sciences commonly use permutation tests to evaluate differences between groups. Permutation tests have desirable properties, including exactness if data are exchangeable, and are applicable even when the distribution of the test statistic is analytically intractable. However, permutation tests can be computationally intensive. We propose both an asymptotic approximation and a resampling algorithm for quickly estimating small permutation p-values (e.g. $<10^{-6}$) for the difference and ratio of means in two-sample tests. Our methods are based on the distribution of test statistics within and across partitions of the permutations, which we define. In this article, we present our methods and demonstrate their use through simulations and an application to cancer genomic data. Through simulations, we find that our resampling algorithm is more computationally efficient than another leading alternative, particularly for extremely small p-values (e.g. $<10^{-30}$). Through application to cancer genomic data, we find that our methods can successfully identify up- and down-regulated genes. While we focus on the difference and ratio of means, we speculate that our approaches may work in other settings.

description: Decisional modeling is used to determine the
ranking of alternative choices or options. Rational decision
modeling research, which is traditionally based on the consensus
of experts and decision makers, has been extended to include the
scenarios of dissent and conflict. This approach is illustrated by
a case study of a hierarchical decision model (HDM) for the
assessment of photovoltaic (PV) technologies. Decision makers
need to consider multiple perspectives for a holistic assessment
of the technologies under conditions of consensus and conflict.
The holistic view includes the social, technical, economic,
environmental, and political (STEEP) perspectives. In earlier
research HDM was applied to scenarios where all the
perspectives were relatively important based on a consensus of
decision makers. This paper evaluates scenarios considering one
perspective as dominant for each of the STEEP perspectives.
This in effect is representative of dissent and can result in
conflict because it implies that the proponents of the dominant
perspective consider the perspectives supported by others are
not important. HDM enables a view into outcomes for scenarios
of consensus and conflict. The results indicate that cases of
dissent do not necessarily imply conflicting outcomes.
Learning quantum annealing

description: We propose and develop a new procedure, whereby a quantum system can learn to anneal to a desired ground state. We demonstrate successful learning to produce an entangled state for a two-qubit system, then demonstrate generalizability to larger systems. The amount of additional learning necessary decreases as the size of the system increases. Because current technologies limit measurement of the states of quantum annealing machines to determination of the average spin at each site, we then construct a "broken pathway" between the initial and desired states, at each step of which the average spins are nonzero, and show successful learning of that pathway. Using this technique we show we can direct annealing to multiqubit GHZ and W states, and verify that we have done so. Because quantum neural networks are robust to noise and decoherence we expect our method to be readily implemented experimentally; we show some preliminary results which support this.

description: This article introduces two case studies of underage transporters from Indonesia, who brought asylum seekers to Australia by boat and thus were convicted and jailed for the crime of people smuggling. In light of the hyper-politicised issue of people smuggling and the need to find punishable perpetrators, transporters have become the main target of anti-people-smuggling law enforcement. Both transporters came from poor families and started working early on in their lives, which also involved their deceptive recruitment into peoplesmuggling networks. But the outcome of their prosecutions differs substantially, not least, as one of them was convicted in an Australian court and the other in Indonesia. In this article, we problematise the culpability of underage smugglers and argue for more lenient treatment by law-enforcement authorities.

description: In recent years, the challenges of environmental issues, a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels,
increasing energy demand, and unsteady and unpredictable energy prices forced oil-producing countries to turn their
attention to the renewable energy. Most of these countries have an excellent solar availability with bright sunshine
days of around 300 to 320 average throughout a year. Consequently, there is a corresponding attention to the solar
energy and especially to the photovoltaics (PVs), which have experienced tremendous progresses, both in technology
and economy and in the development of new markets in the last few decades. The considerable progress in the
application of PVs in oil-producing countries is closely dependent upon the development of suitable policies and
strategies due to the existence of high electricity subsidies and low tariffs of the governments. In this context, this
paper aims to pursue the current progress in PVs in major oil-producing countries located around the Persian Gulf
and discusses the recent advances in the prospective policy of Iran, as a case study. As a consequence, obtained
results show that a minimum 20% increase in annual electricity rate would guarantee the benefits from investment in
the PVs power plants under current economic situation of Iran.

description: The application of stationary battery storage systems in distribution grids can serve different purposes. Especially in grid areas
with a high photovoltaic penetration, storage systems can increase the level of self-sufficiency for consumers using privately
owned photovoltaic systems as well as offload the grid in times of high photovoltaic generation in order to reduce necessary
grid reinforcement. A further application scenario is provision of control power for stabilizing the grid frequency.
Storage systems can fulfill single individual abovementioned tasks as well as a combination of several ones, which may result
in a variety of different load curves for the storage system. As the aging behavior of the battery cells is strongly influenced
by load profiles, the storage application will severely influence lifetime of storage systems. In order to investigate the
aging behavior dependent on the application mode, the load curves resulting from the different applications given above are
raised for a battery aging simulation. This study presents aging behavior for lithium-ion cells with NMC technology. As a
result, the deterioration rate of this cell type is determined dependent on the different application modes. On the basis of these
outcomes, conclusions regarding the aging behavior for the different applications are drawn.

description: 2006 the International Building Exhibition (IBA) started in Hamburg under the device “Cities new
building”. One Part of the IBA Program was “Cities in climate change”. In these part the question of combining
climate protection with urban growth should be answered. For this, a working group started to develop the “Energy
atlas for Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg”. There, different scenarios of the future energy demand were developed, potentials
for energy saving and energy efficiency were identified and concrete step for the realization of these scenarios were
shown. 2012 the “Island-Power study Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg” was realized. These study replied the question of the
dynamic between energy demand and supply in 2050 under consideration of the realization of the Excellence-
Scenario from the Energy-Atlas, including storage technologies and load management. The simulated scenarios
showed that the 100%-Renewable-Energy-supply that was calculated as a yearly balance in the “Energy-Atlas” is not
accessible in form of a local autarky. The high fluctuation of the electricity supply in the dynamic scenario tends to
high surpluses and deficits. System operators are confronted with a complete new situation; higher load and the
changing of the load flow direction are crucial. 2014, the Island-Grid-Study followed, to show whether todays lowvoltage
and middle voltage grids are able to transport the electricity under the aspect of load flow changes and high
power production from the PV side installed in the city quartiers of the future.

description: This work analyses the economic framework of Smart Grid for the consumer as a microgenerator, by usage of Photovoltaic generation exploring the modularity of this solution. Methodologically are considered the effects in the relations with the smart grid regarding the technical, commercial and regulatory affairs, based on the normative approach aiming the possibilities and barriers for the viability of this form of microgeneration. The results shows that, even with the demanding side providing the project, it’s in the distribution framework that this relation is commercially affected, as the distribution company remains responsible for the primary energy supply, obligated to bear the heavy costs of the distribution network infrastructure, as well as shall face a decrease on their income due to microgenerating consumers. Thus, it’s validated through a simulation, that only regulating credits to be used by the consumers is insufficient, as there are further points to be improved in order to effectively disseminate cogeneration for residential consumers, despite their great solar potential.

description: The increasing quality and affordability of consumer electroencephalogram (EEG) headsets make them attractive for situations where medical grade devices are impractical. Predicting and tracking cognitive states is possible for tasks that were previously not conducive to EEG monitoring. For instance, monitoring operators for states inappropriate to the task (e.g. drowsy drivers), tracking mental health (e.g. anxiety) and productivity (e.g. tiredness) are among possible applications for the technology. Consumer grade EEG headsets are affordable and relatively easy to use, but they lack the resolution and quality of signal that can be achieved using medical grade EEG devices. Thus, the key questions remain: to what extent are wearable EEG devices capable of mental state recognition, and what kind of mental states can be accurately recognized with these devices? In this work, we examined responses to two different types of input: instructional (logical) versus recreational (emotional) videos, using a range of machine-learning methods. We tried SVMs, sparse logistic regression, and Deep Belief Networks, to discriminate between the states of mind induced by different types of video input, that can be roughly labeled as logical vs. emotional. Our results demonstrate a significant potential of wearable EEG devices in differentiating cognitive states between situations with large contextual but subtle apparent differences.

description: Frustrated systems, typically characterized by competing interactions that cannot all be simultaneously satisfied, display rich behaviours not found elsewhere in nature. Artificial spin ice takes a materials-by-design approach to studying frustration, where lithographically patterned bar magnets mimic the frustrated interactions in real materials but are also amenable to direct characterization. Here, we introduce controlled topological defects into square artificial spin ice lattices in the form of lattice edge dislocations and directly observe the resulting spin configurations. We find the presence of a topological defect produces extended frustration within the system caused by a domain wall with indeterminate configuration. Away from the dislocation, the magnets are locally unfrustrated, but frustration of the lattice persists due to its topology. Our results demonstrate the non-trivial nature of topological defects in a new context, with implications for many real systems in which a typical density of dislocations could fully frustrate a canonically unfrustrated system.

description: BIPV represent an interesting category of building elements that allow harvesting on-site
renewable energy to contribute positively to the energy balance of the building (NZEB, net zero energy
buildings). Indeed many BIPV solutions are capable of integrating both active and passive features into parts of
buildings envelopes posing a unique technological and architectural challenge. While BIPV have been considered
to be one of the next emerging solutions within the PV sector, their market is still not mature and many of the
current BIPV products are project driven [1]. The paper presents a detailed analysis of the BIPV market in order
to evaluate the attractiveness of innovative BIPV solutions and to understand their evolving opportunities and
threats. Within this study, more than 160 BIPV projects have been identified in EU28 and compared to highlight
the differences between the standard photovoltaic market and BIPV solutions. Besides, a direct survey of the
activities of BIPV producers and end-users’ needs has been performed to finally approach the economic
implications of environmental sustainability for these products. The results achieved show that BIPV applications
appear as interesting niche products, whose wider market uptake should be supported by specific actions at
technical, legal and cultural levels.

Our speculation is excellent with terascale supersymmetry.

description: Traditionally BIPV involves installing the solar panels at certain part of the building structures, quite
often replacing the structure itself. This technique can sometimes be quite costly because of the customization of the
solar panels. We are proposing an alternative way of harvesting solar energy using solar PV panels. Instead of
installing a solar panel at the structure, we are proposing using the structure to reflect light onto a nearby solar panel
enhancing the yield of the particular solar panel. Our studies show that in the optimal configuration, we could achieve
an enhancement of up to 40%. In this particular study we are using a pseudo skylight with heat rejection film to
enhance the collection of the solar PV panels. Our studies show that we could achieve an instantaneous enhancement
of up to 17% of the output power with monthly yield increase of up to 7%.
Generalization of Noether's theorem in modern form to non-variational partial differential equations
Creators: name: Anco, Stephen C.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A general method using multipliers for finding the conserved integrals for any system of partial differential equations (PDEs) is reviewed and further developed in several ways. Multipliers are expressions whose (summed) product with a PDE (system) yields a local divergence identity which has the physical meaning of a continuity equation involving a conserved density and a spatial flux for solutions of the PDE (system). On spatial domains, the integral form of a continuity equation yields a conserved integral. When a PDE (system) is variational, multipliers correspond to symmetries of the variational principle, and the local divergence identity relating a multiplier to a conserved integral is the same as the variational identity used in Noether's theorem for connecting conserved integrals to invariance of a variational principle. From this viewpoint, the multiplier method is shown to constitute a modern form of Noether's theorem in which the variational principle is not used. When a PDE (system) is non-variational, multipliers are shown to be an adjoint counterpart to symmetries, and the local divergence identity relating a multiplier to a conserved integral is shown to be an adjoint generalization of the variational identity underling Noether's theorem. Two main results are established for PDE systems having a solved-form for leading derivatives, which encompasses all typical PDEs of physical interest. First, all non-trivial conserved integrals are shown to arise from non-trivial multipliers in a one-to-one manner, taking into account certain equivalence freedoms. Second, a scaling formula based on dimensional analysis is derived to obtain the conserved density and spatial flux in any conserved integral, just using the corresponding multiplier and the given PDE system. The derivations use a few basic tools from variational calculus, for which a self-contained formulation is provided.

The acclaimed master of the re-enactment of the last days of Pompeii and, which reconstructs the ancient city and repopulates it with people resembling the viewers and buyers of the paintings, was Lawrence Alma-Tadema, one of the most successful painters of the Victorian age. Originally from the Netherlands (hence the singular surname) but living in England, in love with Italy, admired by D'Annunzio, Alma-Tadema interpreted the neo-Pompeian genre and taste with original authority. In Italy he was appreciated by colleagues such as Francesco Netti and Domenico Morelli, whose Bagno pompeiano of 1861, set in the changing room of Pompeii's Stabian Baths and documented in the exhibition catalogue, is an early interpretation of the Pompeian theme.

description: Der Ausgangspunkt der Synonymiediskussion kann in Frankreich im 17. Jahrhundert angesetzt werden. Die Synonymieproblematik berührt verschiedene linguistische Teildisziplinen. Synonymie wird als Bedeutungsähnlichkeit interpretiert, die sich durch gleiche / ähnliche semantische Merkmale manifestiert. Die durchgeführten Substitutionstests belegen dies und andere Hypothesen: Die Verlagerung der Synonymie auf die Sememebene wird verifiziert und die notwendige Textorientierung in der Synonymiediskussion bestätigt. Paradigmatische und syntagmatische Aspekte beeinflussen dabei die Synonymenwahl. Der Zusammenhang von Synonymie und Diaphasik zeigt, dass Synonyme stilistische Variationen aufweisen können. Nur in Ausnahmefällen werden diatopische und diastratische Elemente synonym zu den Äquivalenten der Allgemeinsprache gebraucht. Die Interaktion der beiden Differenzierungskriterien in der Synonymenwahl - Syntax und Semantik - beeinflusst die Probandenentscheidung. Wörter, die nachweislich synonyme Sememe enthalten, können aufgrund von Kollokationen nicht immer als synonym identifiziert werden.
description: The starting point of the discussion about synonymy can be set in France in the 17th century. The problem of synonymy comes into contact with different linguistic disciplines. Synonymy is interpreted as semantic similarity displayed on the level of identical / similar semantic features. Substitutional tests verify this and other hypotheses: The shift of synonymy to the semem level could be verified and the necessary context orientation within the discussion about synonymy could be confirmed. Paradigmatic and syntagmatic aspects have an impact on the choice of synonyms. The interrelation between synonymy and diaphasic variety reveals that synonyms can show stylistic variations. Diatopic and diastratic variations are used as synonyms to common language equivalents only in exceptional circumstances. The interaction of syntax and semantics - both distinction criterions for the choice of synonyms - influence the test persons' decision. Words that provably contain synonymous semems cannot always be identified as synonymous because of collocations.

Entanglement between low- and high-lying atomic spin waves is essential for building up Rydberg-based quantum information engineering, otherwhile be more helpful to study the dynamics behavior of entanglement under external pertur- bations. Here, we report on the successful storage of a single photon as a high-lying atomic spin wave in quantum regime. Via storing a K-vector entanglement between single photon and lowly lying spin wave, we thereby experimentally realize the entanglement between low- and high-lying atomic spin waves in two separated atomic systems. This makes our experiment the primary demonstration of Rydberg quantum memory of entanglement, making a primary step toward the construction of a hybrid quantum interface.

description: The notion of the black hole singularity and the proof of the singularity theorem were considered great successes in classical general relativity. Singularities had presented deep puzzles to physicists. Conceptual challenges were set up by the intractability of the singularity. The existence of black hole horizons which cover up the interior, including the singularity of the black hole from outside observers, builds an information curtain, further hindering physicists from understanding the nature of the singularity and the interior structure of black holes. The regular black hole is a concept produced out of multiple attempts of establishing a tractable and understandable interior structure for black hole as well as avoiding the singularity behind the black hole horizon. A method is needed to check the correctness of the new constructions of black holes. After studying the Hawking radiation by fermion tunnelling from one type of regular black hole, structure dependent results were obtained. The result being structure dependent points out the prospects of employing the Hawking radiation as a method to probe into the structure of black holes.

description: Today’s almost fully non-sustainable global energy system needs to be transformed towards a 100% sustainable basis. Solar
photovoltaic (PV) is considered by a growing base of organizations and researchers as a backbone technology for global energy
supply in the decades to come. Global energy scenarios of the recent years are compared in their level of acknowledging the
significant role of solar PV. Using logistic growth functions it is possible to extrapolate the trend in the various studies to the
years 2050 and 2100. The studies can be distinguished in a group of progressive and conservative ones. The reports of the IEA
set the lower limit of all studies. The three most progressive studies are from the WBGU, the IEA PVPS and the Solar Economy
scenario published in this paper. The Solar Economy scenario is based on a stabilized population which may require by the end
of this century about 400,000 TWhel for all energetic needs. The PV share of TPED among the studies varies between 3-73%
in the year 2100 when the currently available long-term forecasts are being compared. According to the Solar Economy scenario
a PV share of up to 40%, would lead to a total installed capacity of up to 93 TWp and annual installations of up to 2.3 TWp for
harvesting sustainable energy on a cost level of about 11-12 €/MWh in the global average. The global energy problem might
be easier solvable than most people expect today.
Classical-field description of the quantum effects in the light-atom interaction

description: In this paper I show that light-atom interaction can be described using purely classical field theory without any quantization. In particular, atom excitation by light that accounts for damping due to spontaneous emission is fully described in the framework of classical field theory. I show that three well-known laws of the photoelectric effect can also be derived and that all of its basic properties can be described within classical field theory.

description: Simulation of BIPV system performance is usually based on a Plane-Of-Array method, adopted from
classical PV plant systems, to estimate power generation. This methods is very limited for simulating facades in
complex urban environments, such as dense urban areas, as it uses simplified near-field shading to estimate system
losses. Furthermore, this approach accounts only for PV electricity yield generation, while neglecting other
architectural criteria like daylighting, especially important in case of semi transparent PV facade. For the purposes of
complex BIPV facades, other methods, such as ray tracing, are more preferable. Therefore, this research aims to
estimate capabilities and accuracy of RADIANCE ray tracing engine to calculate daylighting and irradiance on PV
surface. Validation procedure has been carried out for complex BIPV façade module, composed of complex profiled
glass tile and semi-transparent Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells. Results showed reasonably good agreement between
simulation and experimental measurements, which proves that method is capable for being used for the general
purposes of complex BIPV systems.
Does genre make a difference? Classical orchestra/popular band musicians’ motivation, self-efficacy, and practice experiences’ effects on deliberate practice

description: This study investigates the motivational conditions, self-efficacy beliefs, and practice of classical (symphonic, wind) orchestra/popular (rock, pop) band musicians. It thus complements previous research which has shed light on individual aspects of music learning. In both individual and collective work, high quality practice performed in a sufficient amount of time was shown to be very effortful. A mixed-method approach combined a questionnaire and an additional prototypical case interview for each genre with professional musicians. The results show that classical musicians were younger than popular musicians when they started to learn their first and main music instrument and entered their first orchestra or band. While it was confirmed that individual experience was crucial for the time invested in and the quality of deliberate practice, collective practice experiences were also indicated to be a determinant. Furthermore, individual and collective practice were shown to be interrelated. Professional level was suggested to be a more discriminating factor with regard to the variables studied than genre, as professional musicians from both genres deploy deliberate practice strategies in an individual and in a collective context. Improvisation and jamming, however, only appeared in the popular collective and classical individual practice context.

description: Standard photovoltaic modules have a very different aesthetical appearance than a roof made
of red tiles. This contrast makes a harmonic integration of photovoltaics into these roofs very difficult. In
particular this is not possible when buildings related to cultural heritage are affected. One example is the
roofscape of the city of Graz which is belonging to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. A glass
coating for standard photovoltaic modules on solar cells made of crystalline Silicon (c-Si) is presented.
This coating is being optimised to tailor the aesthetical appearance of a c-Si module to be accepted for
integration into the roofscape of the centre of Graz.
Historical red roof tiles were optically analysed and a technical specification for a glass coating was
developed. This specification defines the scattering properties of a surface and the colour coordinates
which needs to be tackled in order to be aesthetically compatible to the roofscape of Graz. First results on
glass coatings show promising results in terms of meeting the aesthetical requirements and high
transmission. However, the relatively high glossiness of glass surfaces is an open issue when tuning the
aesthetical appearance of c-Si modules.
Impact of Future Lepton Flavor Violation Measurements in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model

description: Working within the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model, we compare current bounds from quark flavor changing processes with current and upcoming bounds on lepton flavor violation. We assume supersymmetry breaking approximately respects CP invariance. Under the further assumption that flavor violating insertions in the quark and lepton scalar masses are comparable, we explore when lepton flavor violation provides the strongest probe of new physics. We quote results both for spectra with all superpartners near the TeV scale and where scalars are multi-TeV. Constraints from quark flavor changing neutral currents are in many cases already stronger than those expected from future lepton flavor violation bounds, but large regions of parameter space remain where the latter could provide a discovery mode for supersymmetry.

PV as Part of the Energy System

description: Methods of utilizing residential produced photovoltaic (PV) power by converting to thermal energy through
heat pumps (HP) are present in literature, where thermal energy is dispersed as either heat or hot water at the instant
moment of PV production. In this paper an alternative solution is described, where the thermal energy is stored in a buffer
tank (BT) capable of dispersing heat to either the heating system of a house or a hot water tank, for later use.
The thermal storage solution including a BT can increase the self-consumption of residentially produced PV power and
thereby shift electric energy demand of the HP to hours where excess PV power is present. The self-consumption of the
PV energy affects the overall net present value (NPV).
In this paper, a method which maximizes the NPV by finding the cost-optimal combination of PV, HP and BT sizes, is
proposed.
Results show that the thermal storage with a BT is a better investment than a PV system without HP or no investment.
Furthermore, it showed that the optimization model developed in this project is capable of finding the optimal
combination of component sizes based on our data.
