description: We present results on multifrequency Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) monitoring observations of the double-image gravitationally lensed blazar JVAS B0218+357. Multi-epoch observations started less than one month after the gamma-ray flare detected in 2012 by the Large Area Telescope on board Fermi, and spanned a 2-month interval. The radio light curves did not reveal any significant flux density variability, suggesting that no clear correlation between the high energy and low-energy emission is present. This behaviour was confirmed also by the long-term Owens Valley Radio Observatory monitoring data at 15 GHz. The milliarcsecond-scale resolution provided by the VLBA observations allowed us to resolve the two images of the lensed blazar, which have a core-jet structure. No significant morphological variation is found by the analysis of the multi-epoch data, suggesting that the region responsible for the gamma-ray variability is located in the core of the AGN, which is opaque up to the highest observing frequency of 22 GHz.

description: Graph Neural Network(GNN) based social recommendation models improve the prediction accuracy of user preference by leveraging GNN in exploiting preference similarity contained in social relations. However, in terms of both effectiveness and efficiency of recommendation, a large portion of social relations can be redundant or even noisy, e.g., it is quite normal that friends share no preference in a certain domain. Existing models do not fully solve this problem of relation redundancy and noise, as they directly characterize social influence over the full social network. In this paper, we instead propose to improve graph based social recommendation by only retaining the informative social relations to ensure an efficient and effective influence diffusion, i.e., graph denoising. Our designed denoising method is preference-guided to model social relation confidence and benefits user preference learning in return by providing a denoised but more informative social graph for recommendation models. Moreover, to avoid interference of noisy social relations, it designs a self-correcting curriculum learning module and an adaptive denoising strategy, both favoring highly-confident samples. Experimental results on three public datasets demonstrate its consistent capability of improving two state-of-the-art social recommendation models by robustly removing 10-40% of original relations.

description: This research reports on the fabrication and characterization of an Si/NiPcTs/PEDOT:PSS bulk
hetrojunction blend with different (PEDOT:PSS) concentration. A thin film was deposited by spin coater deposition
method on silicon wavers (Si) N-type direction (111) of thickness 100nm. The optical properties were studied by using
UV-Vis absorption spectra and photoluminescence spectra (PL) at annealing temperature of wafer 100ºC. The
decreasing of the (PEDOT:PSS) concentration leads to increase absorbance of films with optical peak shifts position to
low energy side of spectra. The values of optical energy gap of (NiPcTs/PEDOT:PSS) thin film between (1.6-1.8)eV for
Q band and (2.75-3.2)eV for B band for direct energy band. The optical energy gap obtained from photoluminescence
spectra for NiPcTs/PEDOT:PSS bulk heterojunctions blend thin films with excitation wavelength (338- 352) nm is Very
approach to energy gap obtained by UV-VIS spectrum. The current–voltage characteristics of the diode were measured at
room temperature under dark and light condition . The detectivity and responsivity is very low with conc. 0.5 at 350nm
and 550nm but disappear at 800 nm. The times values of Rise time were 0.75μsec, Transit time (400-500)μsec and Life
time (160-180)usec.

description: New calculations for rotational excitation of cyanoacetylene by collisions with hydrogen molecules are performed to include the lowest 38 rotational levels of HC3N and kinetic temperatures to 300 K. Calculations are based on the interaction potential of Wernli et al. A&A, 464, 1147 (2007) whose accuracy is checked against spectroscopic measurements of the HC3N-H2 complex. The quantum coupled-channel approach is employed and complemented by quasi-classical trajectory calculations. Rate coefficients for ortho-H2 are provided for the first time. Hyperfine resolved rate coefficients are also deduced. Collisional propensity rules are discussed and comparisons between quantum and classical rate coefficients are presented. This collisional data should prove useful in interpreting HC3N observations in the cold and warm ISM, as well as in protoplanetary disks.

description: The very high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique (VHF-PECVD)
enables the highly productive fabrication process of amorphous (a-Si:H) and microcrystalline (μc-Si:H) silicon. The
frequency increase leads to an enhancement of electron density in the bulk plasma, while the ion bombardment
energy on the growing layer decreases. However, the wavelength of the very high frequency (VHF) signal
corresponds to electrode dimensions, which leads to non-uniform deposition. In this work the effect of driving
frequency up to 140 MHz on the a-Si:H and μc-Si:H process is studied. For this propose a VHF-PEVCD technique
with a linear plasma source has been introduced. The influence of the deposition rate on the a-Si:H and μc-Si:H layer
properties for different deposition regimes is analyzed. The role of intrinsic layer quality on the solar cell
performance is investigated through the experiments and computer modeling.

description: The mechanisms affecting the trapping and recombination processes in thin films of methyl ammonium lead iodide
(CH3NH3PbI3) were studied by means of transient photoconductivity measurements and theoretical simulation of the
relaxation curves resulting from the photocurrent measurements. In particular there was studied the influence of
pressure inside the system of measurement, temperature and intensity of illumination on the photoconductivity
response. By using the real part of Fourier transform, the experimental curves of photocurrent rise were analyzed.
The analysis revealed that the photocurrent resulting from measurements performed at room temperature under
vacuum includes contributions of both band to band photo generation and generation controlled by delayed trapassisted
processes, being the contribution that the first process makes to the intensity of the photocurrent much
greater than that of the second one. However if the measurements are done under atmospheric pressure conditions,
the photocurrent arise from contributions originated from the same two processes that contributed to the photocurrent
obtained under vacuum and a further contribution related with a non delayed trap-assisted process. Studies of the
intensity dependence of steady state photocurrent revealed that the processes of generation and recombination in
CH3NH3PbI3 films are presented through a combination of monomolecular and bimolecular traps.

description: By performing spatially resolved Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy with varying excitation wavelength, density, and data acquisition parameters, we have achieved a unified understanding towards the spectroscopy signatures of the organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite, transforming from the pristine state (CH3NH3PbI3) to fully degraded state (i.e., PbI2) for samples with varying crystalline domain size from mesoscopic scale (approximately 100 nm) to macroscopic size (cm), synthesized by three different techniques. We show that the hybrid perovskite exhibits multiple stages of structure transformation occurring either spontaneously or under light illumination, with exceptionally high sensitivity to the illumination conditions (e.g., power, illumination time and interruption pattern). We highlight four transformation stages (Stage 1 - 4, with Stage 1 being the pristine state) along a primary structure degradation path exhibiting distinctly different Raman spectroscopy features at each stage, and point out that previously reported Raman spectra in the literature reflect degraded structures of either Stage 3 or 4. Additional characteristic optical features of partially degraded materials under the joint action of spontaneous and photo degradation are given. This study offers reliable benchmark results for understanding the intrinsic material properties and structure transformation of this unique category of hybrid materials, and a straightforward method to monitor the structure degradation after the material is used in a device or characterized by other techniques. The findings are pertinently important to a wide range of potential applications where the hybrid material is expected to function in greatly different environment and light-matter interaction conditions.

description: We examine solar neutrinos in dark matter detectors including the effects of flavor-dependent radiative corrections to the CE$ν$NS cross section. Working within a full three-flavor framework, and including matter effects within the Sun and Earth, detectors with thresholds $\lesssim 1$ keV and exposures of $\sim 100$ ton-year could identify contributions to the cross section beyond tree level. The differences between the cross sections for the flavors, combined with the difference in fluxes, would provide a new and unique method to study the muon and tau components of the solar neutrino flux. Flavor-dependent corrections induce a small day-night asymmetry of $< |3 \times10^{-4}|$ in the event rate, which if ultimately accessible would provide a novel probe of flavor oscillations.

description: The phenomenon of resonant tunneling transport through polar double-barrier heterostructures is systematically investigated using a combined experimental and theoretical approach. On the experimental side, GaN/AlN RTDs are grown by MBE. In-situ electron diffraction is employed to monitor the number of monolayers incorporated into each tunneling barrier. Using this precise epitaxial control at the monolayer level, we demonstrate exponential modulation of the resonant tunneling current as a function of barrier thickness. Both the peak voltage and characteristic threshold bias exhibit a dependence on barrier thickness as a result of the intense electric fields present in the polar heterostructures. To get further insight into the asymmetric tunneling injection, we present an analytical theory for tunneling transport across polar heterostructures. A general expression for the resonant tunneling current with contributions from coherent and sequential tunneling processes is introduced. After applying this theory to the case of GaN/AlN RTDs, their experimental current-voltage characteristics are reproduced over both bias polarities, with tunneling currents spanning several orders of magnitude. This agreement allows us to elucidate the role played by the internal polarization fields on the magnitude of the tunneling current and broadening of the resonant line shape. Under reverse bias, we identify new tunneling features originating from highly attenuated resonant tunneling phenomena, which are completely captured by our model. Our analytical model, provides a simple expression which reveals the connection between the polar RTD design parameters and its current-voltage characteristics. This new theory paves the way for the design of polar resonant tunneling devices exhibiting efficient resonant current injection and enhanced tunneling dynamics, as required in various practical applications.

description: Epitaxial silicon foils (<50 um) lifted-off using the porous silicon-based layer transfer process are used to
fabricate heterojunction (HJ) solar cells. Mini-modules with efficiencies above 15% have been fabricated using standard
lamination and encapsulation techniques, which have been applied to freestanding epi-Si based HJ solar cells. Analysis of
this module highlights the need for bonding these cells onto supporting substrates before module fabrication. We suggest
using very low-cost conductive Si carriers as the supporting substrates. Sintering of low-cost Si powder-based ingots,
assisted by in-situ doping, has been done by hot pressing or casting of ingots using different types of Si powders and was
followed by multi-wire sawing to fabricate thin (~170 μm) supporting highly conductive substrates. The Si material used
for these substrates can, in principle, be obtained from Si waste streams, e.g. broken wafers or end-of-line cells in production
lines, Si kerf or end-of-life PV modules, making this even more attractive proposition. One important aspect is the
development of conductive bonding of epitaxial foils onto low-cost sintered silicon substrates.We evaluated different types
of conductive bonding agents. Good mechanical stability was achieved for the bonding processes. These efforts represent
the first step towards the wafer-equivalent approach of high efficiency solar cells on thin Si (<50 μm) conductively bonded
to low-cost Si substrates. This approach is considered as a promising route for the low-cost Si based PV and a solution
module integration of thin Si. This work is done in framework of H2020 EU project CABRISS.

description: Layered magnetic materials are becoming a major platform for future spin-based applications. Particularly the air-stable van der Waals compound CrSBr is attracting considerable interest due to its prominent magneto-transport and magneto-optical properties. In this work, we observe a transition from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic behavior in CrSBr crystals exposed to high-energy, non-magnetic ions. Already at moderate fluences, ion irradiation induces a remanent magnetization with hysteresis adapting to the easy-axis anisotropy of the pristine magnetic order up to a critical temperature of 110 K. Structure analysis of the irradiated crystals in conjunction with density functional theory calculations suggest that the displacement of constituent atoms due to collisions with ions and the formation of interstitials favors ferromagnetic order between the layers.

description: Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) films were fabricated by annealing to nanocrystal ink deposited CZTS precursors
in the sulfur atmosphere. A simple approach for overcoming the main challenge of nanocrystal particle processed
CZTS film was developed by adding very small amount of antimony to the annealing atmosphere. The grain size and
crystallinity of CZTS film was significantly improved by doping antimony to CZTS film. The influence of Sb:S
atomic ratio in the annealing atmosphere on grain growth and crystallinity improvement was studied. Even very small
amount of antimony plays an important role in promoting the grain growth and recrystallization of CZTS films.
Formation of MoS2 between Mo and CZTS layer was enhanced by antimony as well.

description: Clear filamentary structures are observed at the edge of tokamak plasmas. These filaments are ejected out radially and carry plasma in the far Scrape Off Layer (SOL) region, where they are responsible for producing most of the transport. A study has been performed of the characteristics of the filaments observed in L-mode plasma on MAST, using visible imaging. A comparison has then been made with the observed particle and power profiles obtained at the divertor as a function of the plasma current. The radial velocity and to a lesser extent the radial size of the filaments are found to decrease as the plasma current is increased at constant density and input power. The results obtained in this paper on the dependence of the average filament dynamics on plasma current are consistent with the idea that the filaments are responsible for determining the particle profiles at the divertor.

Forecasts for future constraints on the conformal and the disformal couplings based on the GINGER experiment, i.e. a future measurement of the Sagnac effect on Earth, the motion of S-stars around the galactic centre and future pulsar timing observations are presented.

description: The thin film technology of photovoltaic modules is perspective from the low cost point of view
and with the respect of special, for example flexible modules. However, within a range of allowed temperature it
is hard to prepare a high quality semiconductor material. On the other hand the technology can easily adopt a
complex multi-layer structure, particularly a tandem structure, in which the cell with the narrower band gap is
covered by the one with the wider band gap. For the characteristics and diagnostics of tandem cells it is necessary
to distinguish the contributions of the component sub-cells to the total performance. One of the tasks is the
determination of the component contributions to the total voltage, which is strongly influenced by the amount and
spatial distribution of shunts in each sub-cell. We show that the total voltage is not a simple sum of component
voltages. The experimental results are presented in this paper.
Musical Identity, creativity and pedagogy: a narrative inquiry into secondary music student teachers’ perception of their own creativity and its impact on their developing classroom practice within a changing educational landscape in Wales.
Creators: name: John, Vivienne

description: A narrative inquiry approach was adopted to explore the self-perceptions of the role that creativity played in the musical and emerging pedagogical identities of secondary student music teachers who undertook their PGCE in secondary music in a university in Wales in 2017-18. They studied during a period of significant philosophical and pedagogical change in the country’s educational provision, which, as it unfolds, will require all teachers’ professional learning to embrace and adopt a range of creative capacities. Adopting Lucas, Claxton and Spencer’s creative dispositions (2013) as a guiding theoretical model and the Bourdieusian concepts of field, habitus, doxa and capital as a method of interpretation, there are a number of findings that emerge. Whilst as musicians, discipline and persistence tend to be the dominant capacities in the classical musician habitus, student teachers from classical backgrounds can transform into creative pedagogues without being impeded by the creative limitations that reside in their musical field. However, the ‘conditions of living’ (Reay, 1995, p.357 in Wright, 2015, p.79) they experience are crucial in student teachers’ pedagogic transformation, particularly the relationship they develop with their mentor. When experienced most positively, the creative capacities of imagination, collaboration and inquisitiveness can become their dominant capacities in their creative pedagogic selves. Indeed, pedagogic creative experiences can alter their perceptions of their creative musical habitual behaviours. However, for non-classical musicians who innately demonstrate imaginative, inquisitive and collaborative creative musical capacities, learning to teach seems to impact significantly on their pedagogic identity, particularly where an underlying performativity culture exists in school, combined with a sensitivity towards a hierarchical relationship with their mentor that is alien to the type of relationships they have in their musical fields. This influences a shift from seeking creative capital so admired in their musical field to a desire to accrue ‘professional’ capital in their pedagogic domain, with discipline and persistence becoming sought-after capacities. Moreover, the regression they experience in their creative capacities as pedagogues seems to negatively affect their creative behaviours as musicians also. However, the majority of student music teachers, no matter which musical field they affiliate, seem relatively undaunted and excited by the creative opportunities offered in the new Curriculum for Wales, which is welcome news for the future Welsh educational work-force.

description: Soybean oil is the most widely used vegetable oil in the United States, accounting for more than 50 percent of all domestic vegetable oil use. It can be found in food products such as baked goods, snacks, cooking oils, mayonnaise, salad dressings, and processed frozen foods. It also is used to produce inedible products such as caulk, plastic, resin, and, increasingly, biofuels—agriculturally based transportation fuels. Soybean oil’s popularity in large part can be attributed to its status as the most widely grown U.S. oil crop. Its use as a feedstock in the production of biofuels has sparked increased domestic demand for a product that can help transportation fuel producers meet mandated renewable fuel obligations.

description: In this work, we report the development of well-defined ITO nanorods by pulse DC magnetron
sputtering and fabrication of a-Si based p-i-n solar cell by PECVD cluster tool on ITO nanorods. We are able to
control the shape (tapered) and dispersion of ITO nanorods by controlling process parameters. Here we focus on few
things, like catalyst or mask free low temperature ITO nanorods formation, tapered edge, well dispersion. The solar
cells are made on ITO nanorods coated glass substrates. For comparison, the solar cells are also made of regular FTO
coated glass substrates with similar thicknesses. Amorphous silicon solar cell fabricated on ITO nanorods by
depositing 15 nm p-a-Si:H/150 nm i-a-Si:H/ 25 nm n-a-Si:H layer by PECVD cluster tool CT-150. The solar cells on
ITO nanorods coated glass substrates showed an obvious improvement in the light trapping as well as improvement
in short circuit current density from 10.05 to 12.50 mA/cm2. Initial efficiency of 4.00% (Voc = 750mV, Jsc = 12.50
mA/cm2, FF = 42.70%) has been achieved on ITO nanorods. Further optimization is needed.

description: We compute the full one-loop 2-particle S-matrix for excitations of the type IIB AdS(3) x S(3) x T(4) BMN string. The S-matrix is found to respect the expected symmetries and the phases are consistent with the crossing equations. By analyzing how the relevant integrals scale with the IR regulator we show that scattering of massless bosons is trivial at two loops. Based on our results we argue that the additional su(2) S-matrix appearing in the massless sector in the exact solution should trivialize.

description: Dynamic spectrum access (DSA) can effectively improve the spectrum efficiency and alleviate the spectrum scarcity, by allowing unlicensed secondary users (SUs) to access the licensed spectrum of primary users (PUs) opportunistically. Cooperative spectrum sharing is a new promising paradigm to provide necessary incentives for both PUs and SUs in dynamic spectrum access. The key idea is that SUs relay the traffic of PUs in exchange for the access time on the PUs' licensed spectrum. In this paper, we formulate the cooperative spectrum sharing between multiple PUs and multiple SUs as a two-sided market, and study the market equilibrium under both complete and incomplete information. First, we characterize the sufficient and necessary conditions for the market equilibrium. We analytically show that there may exist multiple market equilibria, among which there is always a unique Pareto-optimal equilibrium for PUs (called PU-Optimal-EQ), in which every PU achieves a utility no worse than in any other equilibrium. Then, we show that under complete information, the unique Pareto-optimal equilibrium PU-Optimal-EQ can always be achieved despite the competition among PUs; whereas, under incomplete information, the PU-Optimal-EQ may not be achieved due to the mis-representations of SUs (in reporting their private information). Regarding this, we further study the worse-case equilibrium for PUs, and characterize a Robust equilibrium for PUs (called PU-Robust-EQ), which provides every PU a guaranteed utility under all possible mis-representation behaviors of SUs. Numerical results show that in a typical network where the number of PUs and SUs are different, the performance gap between PU-Optimal-EQ and PU-Robust-EQ is quite small (e.g., less than 10% in the simulations).

description: Heat-assisted-magnetic recording (HAMR) is hoped to be the future recording technique for high density storage devices. Nevertheless, there exist several realizations strategies. With a coarse-grained Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch (LLB) model we investigate in detail benefits and disadvantages of continuous and pulsed laser spot recording of shingled and conventional bit-patterned media. Additionally we compare single phase grains and bits having a bilayer structure with graded Curie temperature, consisting of a hard magnetic layer with high $T_{\mathrm{C}}$ and a soft magnetic one with low $T_{\mathrm{C}}$, respectively. To describe the whole write process as realistic as possible a distribution of the grain sizes and Curie temperatures, a displacement jitter of the head and the bit positions are considered. For all these cases we calculate bit error rates of various grain patterns, temperatures and write head positions to optimize the achievable areal storage density. Within our analysis shingled HAMR with a continuous laser pulse moving over the medium reaches the best results, and thus having the highest potential to become the next generation storage device.

description: [Background] Single-reference density functional theory is very successful in reproducing bulk nuclear properties like binding energies, radii, or quadrupole moments throughout the entire periodic table. Its extension to the multi-reference level allows for restoring symmetries and, in turn, for calculating transition rates. [Purpose] We propose a new no-core-configuration-interaction (NCCI) model treating properly isospin and rotational symmetries. The model is applicable to any nucleus irrespective of its mass and neutron- and proton-number parity. It properly includes polarization effects caused by an interplay between the long- and short-range forces acting in the atomic nucleus. [Methods] The method is based on solving the Hill-Wheeler-Griffin equation within a model space built of linearly-dependent states having good angular momentum and properly treated isobaric spin. The states are generated by means of the isospin and angular-momentum projection applied to a set of low-lying (multi)particle-(multi)hole deformed Slater determinants calculated using the self-consistent Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach. [Results] The theory is applied to calculate energy spectra in N~Z nuclei that are relevant from the point of view of a study of superallowed Fermi beta-decays. In particular, a new set of the isospin-symmetry-breaking corrections to these decays is given. [Conclusions] It is demonstrated that the NCCI model is capable to capture main features of low-lying energy spectra in light and medium-mass nuclei using relatively small model space and without any local readjustment of its low-energy coupling constants. Its flexibility and a range of applicability makes it an interesting alternative to the conventional nuclear shell model.

description: This is a restorative justice housing program that aims to address the racial homeownership gap and associated racial wealth gap in Boston. The aim of this research was to document the policies and practices of historic and ongoing racial discrimination in the homeownership market in Boston, as well as the ongoing impacts of such discrimination, with a specific focus on the neighborhood of Roxbury. The racial disparities in homeownership we see today are not simply the outcome of past discrimination; these disparities are evidence of the persistence of White supremacist systems that prevent too many Black and Brown households from owning their own homes. Indeed, Boston engaged in its own form of Jim Crow. This series is part of a modest effort to begin to uncover a history that has been buried or dismissed by a society that does not want to confront the injustice and harm of past and ongoing racial discrimination.
 The Fair Housing act explicitly creates the duty to redress historic racial discrimination in the housing market. As such, we do not focus on documenting the intent of public or private actors that produced racially disparate treatment or outcomes. Where we find it, we present it but documenting the intention of individual actors is not our goal; individual intent is irrelevant to the legal and moral duty to take meaningful action to dismantle systems of racial discrimination and segregation. Given that our goal is to disturb Boston’s willful blindness to its own history, we do not take a colorblind approach to analyzing the history, the policies, or the current impacts of racial discrimination. The entire history of the United States, including Boston’s history, is specifically color-conscious. A color-blind approach would prevent us from seeing the racially disparate impacts in the policies that were created and the ways in which discretion was used in practice. We also do not take a values-neutral approach to this research. The duty to redress historic racial discrimination requires that we presume that racial discrimination, however it happens, and the racial disparities produced are inherently unjust and indefensible.
