description: The conventional practice of retail electric utilities is to aggregate customers geographically. The utility purchases electricity for its customers via bulk transactions on the wholesale market, and it passes these costs along to its customers, the end consumers, through their rate plan. Typically, all residential consumers are offered the same per unit rate plan, which leads to cost sharing. Some consumers use their electricity at peak hours, when it is more expensive on the wholesale market, and others consume mostly at off peak hours, when it is cheaper, but they all enjoy the same per unit rate through their utility. This paper proposed a method for the utility to segment a population of consumers on the basis of their individual consumption patterns. An optimal recruitment algorithm was developed to aggregate consumers into groups with a relatively low per unit cost of electricity on the wholesale market. It was then proposed that the utility should group together enough consumers to ensure an adequately low forecast error, which is related to risks it faces in wholesale market transactions. Finally, it was shown that by repeated application of this process, the utility could segment the entire population into groups and offer them differentiated rate plans based on their actual consumption behavior. These groupings are stable in the sense that no one consumer can unilaterally improve her outcome.

description: We consider a scenario with axions/axion-like particles Chern-Simons gravity coupling, such that gravitational waves can be produced directly from axion wave tachyonic instability in the early universe after inflation. This axion gravity term is less constrained compared to the well-searched axion photon coupling and can provide a direct and efficient production channel for gravitational waves. Such stochastic gravitational waves can be detected by either space/ground-based gravitational wave detectors or pulsar timing arrays for a broad range of axion masses and decay constants.
Probing large-scale structure with large samples of X-ray selected AGN: I Baryonic acoustic oscillations

description: We investigate the potential of large X-ray-selected AGN samples for detecting baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO). Though AGN selection in X-ray band is very clean and efficient, it does not provide redshift information, and thus needs to be complemented with an optical follow-up. The main focus of this study is (i) to find the requirements needed for the quality of the optical follow-up and (ii) to formulate the optimal strategy of the X-ray survey, in order to detect the BAO. We demonstrate that redshift accuracy of $σ_0=10^{-2}$ at $z=1$ and the catastrophic failure rate of $f_{\rm fail}\lesssim 30\%$ are sufficient for a reliable detection of BAO in future X-ray surveys. Spectroscopic quality redshifts ($σ_0=10^{-3}$ and $f_{\rm fail}\sim 0$) will boost the confidence level of the BAO detection by a factor of $\sim 2$. For meaningful detection of BAO, X-ray surveys of moderate depth of $F_{\rm lim}\sim {\rm few~} 10^{-15}$ erg/s/cm$^2$ covering sky area from a few hundred to $\sim$ten thousand square degrees are required. The optimal strategy for the BAO detection does not necessarily require full sky coverage. For example, in a 1000-day long survey by an eROSITA type telescope, an optimal strategy would be to survey a sky area of $\sim 9000$ deg$^2$, yielding a $\sim 16σ$ BAO detection. A similar detection will be achieved by ATHENA+ or WFXT class telescopes in a survey with a duration of 100 days, covering a similar sky area. XMM-Newton can achieve a marginal BAO detection in a 100-day survey covering $\sim 400$ deg$^2$. These surveys would demand a moderate-to-high cost in terms the optical follow-ups, requiring determination of redshifts of $\sim 10^5$ (XMM-Newton) to $\sim 3\times 10^6$ objects (eROSITA, ATHENA+, and WFXT) in these sky areas.

Η εργασία αυτή σκοπό έχει να εξετάσει τα βιομηχανικά κελύφη στην πορεία της ιστορίας τους, και να διακρίνει τις διάφορες ποιότητές τους. Στη συνέχεια εξετάζει σε παράθεση 3 σημαντικά παραδείγματα σημαντικών περιπτώσεων στον Ελλαδικό χώρο και άλλα 3 στον υπόλοιπο ευρωπαϊκό χώρο, δίνοντάς μας την ευκαιρία να δούμε τις διαφορές στη στάση που υιοθετούμε στη χώρα μας, σε σχέση με άλλες.
Φυσικά στόχος δεν είναι μόνο να αποκομίσουμε θετικά παραδείγματα, αλλά να αναγνωρίσουμε και τα προς αποφυγήν ψεγάδια των εκάστοτε περιπτώσεων διαχείρισης.
Η επιλογή των παραδειγμάτων γίνεται με γνώμονα συνάφειας με το θέμα της διπλωματικής μου εργασίας, καθώς οι περιπτώσεις είναι άφθονης ποικιλίας και δε συνάδουν απαραίτητα με το πρότυπο του εγκαταλελειμμένου εργοστασίου μεσαίας κλίμακος που την αφορά.
description: Architectural intervention to an existing industrial shell is a complex undertaking which needs to balance sensitive values, with usually contrasting natures. We must, however, recognize that in the saturated modern urban fabric, they are one of the few substantial solutions for corrective intervention on a significant scale. My thesis aims to examine the industrial shells in the course of their history, and to distinguish their various qualities. Then we examine 3 important examples of important cases in Greece and another 3 in the rest of the European area, giving us the opportunity to see the differences in attitude and values we adopt in our country, compared to others.
Of course, the goal is not only to obtain positive examples, but also to recognize flaws to be avoided in each case.
The selection of examples is based on relevance to the topic of my design thesis, as the cases are of ample variety and do not necessarily conform to the standard of the abandoned medium-scale factory it concerns.

description: Grouping people to foster synergies has been an active field of research for decades, both in social sciences and management science. But also from the viewpoint of mathematical modelling and optimization, it is a challenging task due to its combinatorial and multi-objective nature. This paper focuses on the educational context by specifically considering group and topic assignments rooted in social preferences, topic interests, prior knowledge and other properties to an unprecedented extent. It provides highly customizable MIPs to model and Java code to solve such problems relying on the Gurobi library. Initial numerical tests, utilizing heuristically parameterized and randomly generated artificial user data, show computational tractability and provide approximately Pareto-efficient solutions to the user for moderate instance sizes of up to 30 students and 15 topics. Finally, the goal is to supply the chair for Management Science and Operations Research at TU Darmstadt with the developed software for practical application and evaluation.

description: A driving question in (quantum) cohomology of flag varieties is to find non-recursive, positive combinatorial formulas for expressing the product of two classes in a particularly nice basis, called the Schubert basis. Bertram, Ciocan-Fontanine and Fulton provided a way to compute quantum products of Schubert classes in the Grassmannian of k-planes in complex n-space by doing classical multiplication and then applying a combinatorial rim hook rule which yields the quantum parameter. In this paper, we provide a generalization of this rim hook rule to the setting in which there is also an action of the complex torus. Combining this result with Knutson and Tao's puzzle rule then gives an effective algorithm for computing all equivariant quantum Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. Interestingly, this rule requires a specialization of torus weights modulo n, suggesting a direct connection to the Peterson isomorphism relating quantum and affine Schubert calculus.

description: We perform an extensive survey of non-standard Higgs decays that are consistent with the 125 GeV Higgs-like resonance. Our aim is to motivate a large set of new experimental analyses on the existing and forthcoming data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The explicit search for exotic Higgs decays presents a largely untapped discovery opportunity for the LHC collaborations, as such decays may be easily missed by other searches. We emphasize that the Higgs is uniquely sensitive to the potential existence of new weakly coupled particles and provide a unified discussion of a large class of both simplified and complete models that give rise to characteristic patterns of exotic Higgs decays. We assess the status of exotic Higgs decays after LHC Run 1. In many cases we are able to set new nontrivial constraints by reinterpreting existing experimental analyses. We point out that improvements are possible with dedicated analyses and perform some preliminary collider studies. We prioritize the analyses according to their theoretical motivation and their experimental feasibility.

description: Serverless computing and FaaS have gained popularity due to their ease of design, deployment, scaling and billing on clouds. However, when used to compose and orchestrate scientific workflows, they pose limitations due to cold starts, message indirection, vendor lock-in and lack of provenance support. Here, we propose a design for a Serverless Scientific Workflow Orchestrator that overcomes these challenges using techniques like function fusion, pilot invocations and data fabrics.

description: Increasing social acceptance of prescribed burns is an important element of ramping up these controlled burns to the scale required to effectively mitigate destructive wildfires through reduction of excessive fire fuel loads. As part of a Design Challenge, students created concept designs for physical or virtual installations that would increase public understanding and acceptance of prescribed burns as an important tool for ending devastating megafires. The proposals defined how the public would interact with the installation and the learning goals for participants. This poster provides an overview of the virtual reality (VR) pipeline created to develop working prototypes of the immersive experiences and VR games that were proposed by the finalists in the design challenge.

description: Scientific databases used for organizing, archiving, collaborating and sharing research data depend on a welldefined schema to accurately reflect the scientific domain and on database-driven applications for supporting key user interactions with the database. Applications that interact with a database typically depend on some form of schema mappings, such as object-relational mappings, to inform the application of how to query and manipulate the database. The presence of schema mappings, however, further exacerbates the already difficult task of evolving the database schema. Database migration utilities provide some help by coordinating schema evolution scripts with application code changes, but only automate the simplest schema mapping changes. In this paper, we present an approach to coupled database-application evolution by extending a database evolution language with model management operations. We introduce a novel set of model management operations and define their semantics and then describe how they may be integrated into schema modification operators. We then present an evaluation of the concepts from real-world usage of model mappings in scientific database deployments.

description: Causal fermion systems and Riemannian fermion systems are proposed as a framework for describing non-smooth geometries. In particular, this framework provides a setting for spinors on singular spaces. The underlying topological structures are introduced and analyzed. The connection to the spin condition in differential topology is worked out. The constructions are illustrated by many simple examples like the Euclidean plane, the two-dimensional Minkowski space, a conical singularity, a lattice system as well as the curvature singularity of the Schwarzschild space-time. As further examples, it is shown how complex and Kähler structures can be encoded in Riemannian fermion systems.

We study a two dimensional Hubbard model of bosons in an optical lattice in the presence of spin-orbit coupling strong enough to drive direct transitions from Mott insulators to superfluids. Here we find phase-modulated superfluids with finite momentum that are generated entirely by spin-orbit coupling. We investigate the rich phase patterns of the superfluids, which may be directly probed using time-of-flight imaging of the spin-dependent momentum distribution.

description: Across domains massive amounts of scientific data are generated which are useful beyond their original purpose. Yet, discoverability of these data is often hard especially for researchers and students from other domains. As part of the NSF-funded National Science Data Fabric (NSDF) initiative (http://nationalsciencedatafabric.org/) we developed a testbed to demonstrate that these boundaries can be overcome. As part of our effort, we identified the need for indexing large-amounts of scientific data across scientific domains. Instead of focusing and waiting on the development of a metadata convention across domains, we propose to build a lightweight indexing service with minimal metadata that complements existing domain-specific and rich-metadata collection efforts. The NSDF-Catalog is designed to facilitate multiple related objectives within a flexible microservice to: 1) coordinate data movements and replication of data from origin repositories within the NSDF federation 2) build an inventory of existing scientific data to inform the design of next-generation cyberinfrastructure and 3) provide a suite of tools for discovery of datasets for cross-disciplinary research. Our service indexes at a fine-granularity both at the file or object level to inform data distribution strategies and to improve the experience for users from the consumer perspective, with the goal of allowing end-to-end workflow optimizations.

description: The development of pervasive personal digital de- vices such as phones, watches, and headphones, interconnected by technologies such as Bluetooth, has led to a disruptive change in the ways in which local governments can monitor both vehicular and pedestrian traffic flows within their cities. In modern vehicles, navigation systems interconnect the personal devices of drivers and passengers typically via Bluetooth. By continuously monitoring such devices when they are in discover mode, traffic flows can be estimated almost in real-time. This paper examines traffic data collected from a Bluetooth Traffic Monitoring Systems installed by the Wellington City Council. Potentially such an installation could assist a local authority in real-time monitoring of normal traffic, as well as events including concerts and sport events, or in reaction to unanticipated events such as disasters. The limitation in this technology is that the data collected is of low fidelity, that is: not every vehicle has a detectable device, some have many, and there are devices carried by pedestrians and non-motor vehicles as well as stationary devices. This paper enumerates and investigates these challenges through statistical modelling, cleaning and data analysis. We present two novel algorithms for the processing of Bluetooth traffic data and validate our algorithms against a physical road counter. A case study is of a major earthquake is then presented as a proof of concept. The earthquake led to road closures, building collapse and other infrastructure damage and we examine three weeks of BTMS data and visualise how this earthquake impacted daily traffic flows.

description: The anuran advertisement call has been widely used in taxonomic and evolutionary studies due to its essential role in species-specific recognition. For a long time, it has been presumed that P. venusta did not emit mating calls. Here, we observed the entire vocal activity period of P. venusta over the night and recorded male calls and a female distress call. We recognized and described a single male call type, identified as the advertisement call. This call has an extremely low timbre, and it is composed of a single or a sequence of pulsed notes. The multi-noted calls were usually emitted in intrasexual agonistic contexts. Although both call duration and note number have a high coefficient of variation values, they are linearly correlated, so they should be acting as a single independent variable in the P. venusta calls. As expected, the distress call is longer and with a higher timbre than the advertisement call. Interspecific comparisons were made based on the ratio between advertisement call dominant frequency (DF) and body size. This ratio is similar to those of the species of the P. tarsius group.

In particular, we prove dynamical stability of some classes of Einstein manifolds for which it was previously not known. Additionally, we show that the complex projective space with the Fubini-Study metric is surprisingly dynamically unstable.

description: Federated learning is driving the development of new techniques to efficiently and securely use data across multiple sites while using diverse resources. One of these techniques is the use of the serverless computing paradigm to abstract away resource specific configurations, allowing federated learning across heterogeneous environments. However, deploying federated learning across edge resources, the cloud, and traditional HPC sites will require specialized approaches in order to best account for the weaknesses and strengths of each resource. In this work, we explore the new tradeoffs presented by managing a federated learning task across heterogeneous resources and demonstrate these tradeoffs with experiments using a serverless federated learning framework.

description: This study presents a study of equilibrium points, periodic orbits, stabilities, and manifolds in a rotating plane symmetric potential field. It has been found that the dynamical behaviour near equilibrium points is completely determined by the structure of the submanifolds and subspaces. The non-degenerate equilibrium points are classified into twelve cases. The necessary and sufficient conditions for linearly stable, non resonant unstable and resonant equilibrium points are established. Furthermore, the results show that a resonant equilibrium point is a Hopf bifurcation point. In addition, if the rotating speed changes, two non degenerate equilibria may collide and annihilate each other. The theory developed here is lastly applied to two particular cases, motions around a rotating, homogeneous cube and the asteroid 1620 Geographos. We found that the mutual annihilation of equilibrium points occurs as the rotating speed increases, and then the first surface shedding begins near the intersection point of the x axis and the surface. The results can be applied to planetary science, including the birth and evolution of the minor bodies in the Solar system, the rotational breakup and surface mass shedding of asteroids, etc.

description: An update of the ALEPH non-strange spectral functions from hadronic $τ$ decays is presented. Compared to the 2005 ALEPH publication, the main improvement is related to the use of a new method to unfold the measured mass spectra from detector effects. This procedure also corrects a previous problem in the correlations between the unfolded mass bins. Results from QCD studies and for the evaluation of the hadronic vacuum polarisation contribution to the anomalous muon magnetic moment are derived using the new spectral functions. They are found in agreement with published results based on the previous set of spectral functions.

description: Seasonal changes in runoff and inundation create river-habitats that are considered key to the diversity of Amazonian bird species. However, studies on avifauna in different riverine habitats remain scarce. We used camera traps to survey the avifauna in river-created habitats along 39 km of river in the eastern Brazilian Amazon. We examined the number of bird species detected and species composition in islands and margin banks, evaluated species–area relationships in these two habitats, and examined if the most abundant bird species have differences in activity pattern between habitats. Cameras recorded 21 bird species from 13 families (Accipitridae, Ardeidae, Bucconidae, Caprimulgidae, Cathartidae, Columbidae, Cracidae, Hirundinidae, Icteridae, Scolopacidae, Thraupidae, Threskiornithidae, and Tyrannidae). Species composition did not differ between habitat types but we found a discernible area effect, explaining as much as 84% on the number of species detected across island sites. Overlaps of activity pattern of bird species were high between habitat types, but differences in activity peaks were found for Molothrus oryzivorus and Pitangus sulphuratus while examining islands and margin banks. River-created habitats are relevant to Amazonian bird diversity and studies on these habitats must be increased to better understand their value across the Amazon.

description: We examine the expansions of the solutions of the general Heun equation in terms of the Gauss hypergeometric functions. We present several expansions using functions, the forms of which differ from those applied before. In general, the coefficients of the expansions obey three-term recurrence relations. However, there exist certain choices of the parameters for which the recurrence relations become two-term. The coefficients of the expansions are then explicitly expressed in terms of the gamma functions. Discussing the termination of the presented series, we show that the finite-sum solutions of the general Heun equation in terms of generally irreducible hypergeometric functions have a representation through a single generalized hypergeometric function. Consequently, the power-series expansion of the Heun function for any such case is governed by a two-term recurrence relation.

description: Advancements in the ability to collect, store, and access astronomical data have made a major impact on astronomy research in the past two decades. These changes reinforced the need for methodology that can analyze large and complex astronomical databases. One of the common tools used to approach that task is machine learning (ML), and specifically artificial neural networks (ANN). One of the primary downsides of ANNs is that they follow complex and non-intuitive data-driven rules, making it virtually impossible to formally describe the way they analyze the data. Here we analyze possible systematic biases that can affect the results observed when applying ANNs to photometry data. The results show that ANNs can lead to systematic biases in the annotation of the data. These biases are difficult to detect and profile, and can behave in a non-intuitive manner. Therefore, catalogs and data products annotated by neural networks should be used with extra caution.
Non-jumping Numbers for 5-Uniform Hypergraphs

description: Let $\ell$ and $r$ be integers. A real number $α\in [0,1)$ is a jump for $r$ if for any $\varepsilon > 0$ and any integer $m,\ m \geq r$, any $r$-uniform graph with $n > n_0(\varepsilon,m)$ vertices and at least α+ \varepsilon)\binom{n}{r}$ edges contains a subgraph with $m$ vertices and at least $(α+c)\binom{m}{r}$ edges, where $c=c(α)$ does not depend on $\varepsilon$ and $m$. It follows from a theorem of Erdős, Stone and Simonovits that every $α\in [0,1)$ is a jump for $r=2$. Erdős asked whether the same is true for $r \geq 3$. However, Frankl and Rödl gave a negative answer by showing that $1-\frac{1}{\ell^{r-1}}$ is not a jump for $r$ if $r \geq 3$ and $\ell >2r$. Peng gave more sequences of non-jumping numbers for $r=4$ and $r\geq 3$. However, there are also a lot of unknowns on determining whether a number is a jump for $r \geq 3$. Following a similar approach as that of Frankl and Rödl, we give several sequences of non-jumping numbers for $r=5$, and extend one of the results to every $r \geq 5$, which generalize the above results.

description: Knowledge on population density and activity patterns may help to understand how species with wide geographical distribution survive in different environments. The ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) is one of the neotropical felids with the greatest geographical range. We estimated the density and activity patterns of ocelots in the austral extreme of the species distribution (Southern Brazil), comparing our results with those of previous studies. We obtained ocelot records in three out of six sampled areas, but only two had sufficient records to estimate ocelot density. We estimated 15.5 (±6SE) and 27 (±24SE) individuals/100 km2 in two protected areas. These values seem low when compared to ocelots’ density estimates in other areas of the Atlantic Forest. In the most pristine area, density values were similar to those from a study carried out 10 years ago, suggesting that this population remains stable. Our results indicate that austral populations of the ocelot are likely to be dependent on preserved patches of deciduous seasonal forests. As in other areas of the species’ distribution, ocelots were mainly nocturnal, potentially avoiding humans and domestic animals. The preservation of those areas and the connectivity between them is a priority for the long-term conservation of stable ocelot´s populations in the southern Atlantic Forest range.

description: Resource partitioning is essential for coexistence of phylogenetically related species in altered environments, where changes in biotopes can limit resources and change ecological strategies. We investigated resource partitioning between two congeneric catfishes (Hypostomus affinis and H. luetkeni) in three niche dimensions (trophic, spatial, and temporal) in a Neotropical reservoir. We tested the hypothesis that the use of different mesohabitats (spatial dimension) is more relevant for the coexistence of species, and that morphological differences between the species confer different advantages in the mesohabitats occupation. We evaluated species morphology, diet composition and abundance along a spatial-temporal gradient. A high dietary overlap and a low temporal variability in species abundance were found, indicating that these two dimensions play a minor role in the species distribution. However, a strong spatial segregation modulated apparently by morphological differences was observed. Hypostomus luetkeni has a larger oral disk area, and a flatter body that confer advantages in the occupation of lotics habitats, whereas H. affinis has relatively larger fins that provide more efficient displacements in lentic habitats. Spatial partitioning was the main driver modulating mechanism for the coexistence of these species and differences in the occupation of the mesohabitats probably have been amplified in this altered environment.
A system's wave function is uniquely determined by its underlying physical state

description: We address the question of whether the quantum-mechanical wave function $Ψ$ of a system is uniquely determined by any complete description $Λ$ of the system's physical state. We show that this is the case if the latter satisfies a notion of "free choice". This notion requires that certain experimental parameters---those that according to quantum theory can be chosen independently of other variables---retain this property in the presence of $Λ$. An implication of this result is that, among all possible descriptions $Λ$ of a system's state compatible with free choice, the wave function $Ψ$ is as objective as $Λ$.

description: Federated learning (FL) is a technique for distributed machine learning that enables the use of siloed and distributed data. With FL, individual machine learning models are trained separately and then only model parameters (e.g., weights in a neural network) are shared and aggregated to create a global model, allowing data to remain in its original environment. While many applications can benefit from FL, existing frameworks are incomplete, cumbersome, and environment-dependent. To address these issues, we present FLoX, an FL framework built on the funcX federated serverless computing platform. FLoX decouples FL model training/inference from infrastructure management and thus enables users to easily deploy FL models on one or more remote computers with a single line of Python code. We evaluate FLoX using three benchmark datasets deployed on ten heterogeneous and distributed compute endpoints. We show that FLoX incurs minimal overhead, especially with respect to the large communication overheads between endpoints for data transfer. We show how balancing the number of samples and epochs with respect to the capacities of participating endpoints can significantly reduce training time with minimal reduction in accuracy. Finally, we show that global models consistently outperform any single model on average by 8%.

description: In this contribution it is considered a simple and solvable model consisting of a qubit in interaction with an oscillator exposed to a very small "environment" (a second qubit). An isolated qubit-oscillator system having the oscillator initially in one of its energy eigenstates exhibits Rabi oscillations, an evidence of coherent quantum behaviour. It is shown here in which way the coupling to a small "environment" disrupts such regular behaviour, leading to a quasi-periodic dynamics for the qubit linear entropy. In particular, it is found that the linear entropy is very sensitive to the amount of mixedness of the "environment". For completeness, fluctuations in the oscillator energy are also taken into account.
