description: Organic solar cells (OSCs) are a promising technology for emission-free electricity supply. However, low power conversion efficiencies and poor device stabilities have so far prevented widespread commercial applications. Remarkable progress has been made recently by the development of non-fullerene electron acceptor materials. They benefit from good tunablity of energy levels as well as greater thermal and photochemical stability, and remarkable power conversion efficiencies of up to 16.5 % have been achieved. Furthermore, they have shown efficient charge separation with negligible energy loss, overcoming one of the crucial limitations of fullerene based OSC. Here, we present a study on the charge generation, separation, and recombination dynamics of non-fullerene solar cells. We investigate the model system P3TEA:SF-PDI$_2$ via pump-probe spectroscopy and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. We find ultrafast charge generation as well as regeneration of singlets via encounters of free electrons and holes. Additionally, we observe slow ($\sim$ 100 ps) and thermally activated charge separation from vibrationally relaxed charge transfer exciton (CTE) states. To directly track the CTE population, we employ pump-push-probe spectroscopy. Our results suggest that singlet excitons, CTE states, and free charges form an equilibrium, with reversible interconversion between them. These systems are therefore not limited by the need to provide excess energy to overcome the Coulomb binding energy. Thus, future efforts to improve efficiencies should focus on removing energy offsets and irreversible processes, such as non-radiative recombination. Furthermore, we study PBDB-T:ITIC, a material that was used in the first non-fullerene cell that exceeded 10 % efficiency. We find that the charge generation occurs on a $\sim$ 10 ps timescale, several orders of magnitude slower than in efficient fullerene-based systems. Additionally, we identify two different pathways for non-radiative decay: triplet generation in the polymer and trap-assisted charge recombination.

description: Face recognition for visible light (VIS) images achieve high accuracy thanks to the recent development of deep learning. However, heterogeneous face recognition (HFR), which is a face matching in different domains, is still a difficult task due to the domain discrepancy and lack of large HFR dataset. Several methods have attempted to reduce the domain discrepancy by means of fine-tuning, which causes significant degradation of the performance in the VIS domain because it loses the highly discriminative VIS representation. To overcome this problem, we propose joint feature distribution alignment learning (JFDAL) which is a joint learning approach utilizing knowledge distillation. It enables us to achieve high HFR performance with retaining the original performance for the VIS domain. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed method delivers statistically significantly better performances compared with the conventional fine-tuning approach on a public HFR dataset Oulu-CASIA NIR&VIS and popular verification datasets in VIS domain such as FLW, CFP, AgeDB. Furthermore, comparative experiments with existing state-of-the-art HFR methods show that our method achieves a comparable HFR performance on the Oulu-CASIA NIR&VIS dataset with less degradation of VIS performance.

A background correction method to compensate illumination variation in hyperspectral imaging.

description: Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) can measure both spatial (morphological) and spectral (biochemical) information from biological tissues. While HSI appears promising for biomedical applications, interpretation of hyperspectral images can be challenging when data is acquired in complex biological environments. Variations in surface topology or optical power distribution at the sample, encountered for example during endoscopy, can lead to errors in post-processing of the HSI data, compromising disease diagnostic capabilities. Here, we propose a background correction method to compensate for such variations, which estimates the optical properties of illumination at the target based on the normalised spectral profile of the light source and the measured HSI intensity values at a fixed wavelength where the absorption characteristics of the sample are relatively low (in this case, 800 nm). We demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method by imaging blood samples, tissue-mimicking phantoms, and ex vivo chicken tissue. Moreover, using synthetic HSI data composed from experimentally measured spectra, we show the proposed method would improve statistical analysis of HSI data. The proposed method could help the implementation of HSI techniques in practical clinical applications, where controlling the illumination pattern and power is difficult.

description: Metal-fullerene compounds are characterized by significant electron transfer to the fullerene cage, giving rise to an electric dipole moment. We use the method of electrostatic beam deflection to verify whether such reactions take place within superfluid helium nanodroplets between an embedded C$_{60}$ molecule and either alkali (heliophobic) or rare-earth (heliophilic) atoms. The two cases lead to distinctly different outcomes: C$_{60}$Na$_n$ ($n$=1-4) display no discernible dipole moment, while C$_{60}$Yb is strongly polar. This suggests that the fullerene and small alkali clusters fail to form a charge-transfer bond in the helium matrix despite their strong van der Waals attraction. The C$_{60}$Yb dipole moment, on the other hand, is in agreement with the value expected for an ionic complex.

description: The high-resolution B$^1Σ^+$ - A$^1Π$ (0, 0) and (0, 3) emission bands of the less-abundant $^{13}$C$^{17}$O isotopologue have been investigated by Fourier-transform spectroscopy in the visible region using a Bruker IFS 125HR spectrometer at an accuracy 0.003 cm$^{-1}$. These spectra are combined with high-resolution photoabsorption measurements of the $^{13}$C$^{17}$O B$^1Σ^+$ $\leftarrow$ X$^1Σ^+$ (0, 0), B$^1Σ^+$ $\leftarrow$ X$^1Σ^+$ (1, 0) and C$^1Σ^+$ $\leftarrow$ X$^1Σ^+$ (0, 0) bands recorded with an accuracy of 0.01 cm$^{-1}$ using the vacuum ultraviolet Fourier-transform spectrometer, installed on the DESIRS beamline at the SOLEIL synchrotron. In the studied 17,950 - 22,500 cm$^{-1}$ and 86,800 - 92,100 cm$^{-1}$ regions, 480 transitions have been measured. These new experimental data were combined with data from the C $\to$ A and B $\to$ A systems, previously analyzed in 13C17O. The frequencies of 1003 transitions derived from 12 bands were used to analyze the perturbations between the A$^1Π$ ($ν$ = 0 - 3) levels and rovibrational levels of the d$^3Δ_i$, e$^3Σ^-$, a$'{}^3Σ^+$, I$^1Σ^-$ and D$^1Δ$ states as well as to a preliminary investigation of weak irregularities that appear in the B$^1Σ^+$ ($ν$ = 0) level. Deperturbed molecular constants and term values of the A$^1Π$ state were obtained. The spin-orbit and L-uncoupling interaction parameters as well as isotopologue-independent spin-orbit and rotation-electronic perturbation parameters were derived.

description: Optimal filtering is the crucial technique for the data analysis of transition-edge-sensor (TES) calorimeters to achieve their state-of-the-art energy resolutions. Filtering out the `bad' data from the dataset is important because it otherwise leads to the degradation of energy resolutions, while it is not a trivial task. We propose a neural network-based technique for the automatic goodness tagging of TES pulses, which is fast and automatic and does not require bad data for training.

description: We present a policy-centered QoS meta-model which can be used by service providers and consumers alike to express capabilities, requirements, constraints, and general management characteristics relevant for SLA establishment in service aggregations. We also provide a QoS assertion model which is generic, domain-independent and conforming to the WS-Policy syntax and semantics. Using these two models, assertions over acceptable and required values for QoS properties can be expressed across the different service layers and service roles.

description: Taximetric statistical methods were carried out on morpho-agronomic traits from three Manila hemp
(Philippine abaca) varieties planted in three locations in Southern Mindanao, Philippines. Principal
Component analysis (PCA) resulted in the extraction of five principal components which collectively accounted
for 99.85% of total variance. Correlation analysis revealed highly significant relationships between %
survival/number of mature plants at harvest time and pseudostem height and circumference. Three – way
multi-environment trial (MET) analysis resulted in the formation of two biplots which jointly revealed
groupings based on component loadings. Hierarchical cluster analysis sorted the varietal entries into two
groups and highlighted the divergence of Glan abaca plants from those grown in the other two sites. Similar
trends for Bongolanon obtained for % survival and number of harvestable plants in all three locations suggests
that these traits may have a very strong genetic component, but pseudostem traits were discovered to be highly
susceptible to environmental conditions and as such can be manipulated to increase fiber yield. Results
rationalize the selection of Bongolanon for wide scale propagation in Southern Mindanao. Finally, these results
will facilitate recommendation of abaca genotypes with broad adaptability and/or identify suitable genotypes
for targeted agro-ecozones to prevent or minimize economic losses that farmers are most likely to incur if an
unsuitable abaca variety is planted on their farms.

description: Processing magnetocaloric materials into magnetic refrigerant particles is an essential issue in developing high-performance magnetic refrigerators. Here, we succeed in stably producing magnetocaloric particles of the promising material HoAl2 by a newly devised method based on electrode induction melting gas atomization process. The particle size range is on the order of submillimeter, which is suitable for practical refrigeration systems. The resulting particles with less contamination have good morphological, magnetic, and magnetocaloric properties: (i) almost spherical shapes with few internal pores, (ii) a sharp ferromagnetic transition around 30 K, and (iii) a large magnetocaloric effect comparable to the bulk counterpart. These features suggest the HoAl$_{2}$ gas-atomized particles have the potential of use as a magnetic refrigerant. The presented method can be applied not only to HoAl2 but also to other brittle magnetocaloric materials with high melting points, facilitating the production of various magnetic refrigerants needed to develop magnetic refrigerators for hydrogen liquefaction.

description: The end-to-end QoS negotiation for SLA establishment for composite services involves compound multi-party negotiations in which the composite service provider concurrently negotiates with multiple candidates for each atomic service, selecting the ones that best satisfy the atomic service QoS preferences while ensuring that end-to-end QoS requirements are also fulfilled. In order to negotiate with potential candidates, it is necessary to derive the atomic utility boundaries from the global utility boundary. Additionally, there needs to be a mechanism to update these boundaries in subsequent negotiation rounds based upon the individual negotiation outcomes. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that addresses both these requirements and evaluate it using an example scenario for composite service provisioning.

Polyrhachis tricuspis

description: Polyrhachis tricuspis nov. sp. Femelle: Noire, mandibules d’un brun rougeâtre, extrémité du funicule et des tarses d’un roux testacé. Tout le corps presque mat, sauf l'abdomen qui est assez luisant. Pilosité réduite à quelques poils isolés, un peu moins rares sur la tête et sur l’abdomen. Pubescence fine et jaunâtre, assez éparse, mais beaucoup plus abondante sur l’abdomen qu’elle recouvre entièrement en dessus, sans cependant cacher la couleur foncière. Mandibules presque lisses, indistinctement striées à la base, marquées de points enfoncés peu profonds. Épistome nettement caréné, anguleusement échancré en son milieu et muni d’une dent large et aiguë de chaque côté de cette échancrure. Tête densèment et assez fortement ponctuée-réticulée et chargée en outre de grosses rides irrégulières et entrelacées qui s'effacent plus ou moins en arrière; l’espace entre les arêtes frontales est plus finement et plus longitudinalement ridé. Thorax et pétiole fortement, densèment et irrégulièrement ridés-réticulés. Pronotum muni latéralement de deux tubercules arrondis; metanotum armé de deux fortes dents émoussées au sommet, un peu divergentes et dirigées en haut. Écaille épaisse, plus haute que large, légèrement convexe sur ses deux faces et munie de trois épines subégales, une médiane et deux latérales, ces dernières dirigées obliquement en haut et un peu en arrière. Abdomen très finement coriacé. Ailes enfumées, stigma et nervures roussâtres. - Long., 9 mill. Amboine (Moluques). Une seule femelle faisant partie des collections du Musée royal de Bruxelles. Cette espèce est très voisine de P. Frauenfeldi Mayr, mais elle s’en distingue facilement par sa sculpture, par ses tubercules prothoraciques moins saillants et plus arrondis, par ses dents métathoraciques plus longues, parles épines latérales de l’écaille aussi longues que l’épine médiane et par son abdomen densèment pubescent.

description: Wikipedia entries on fiction: Under what terms is it possible to report about non-propositional knowledge gained from reading? (alternative summary line: Given that non-propositional knowledge gained from reading a work of art is fiction's defining characteristic, on what terms can entries on fiction be improved?)
Given that Wikipedia entries are likely to extert a strong influence on how literary texts are perceived – due to their preferential ranking in Google – there is some demand that research dealing with the transfer of knowledge on literature to the public be more concerned with looking into both the content that is available for free on the Web and any aspect that may come with writing about literature for free. This contribution argues from within Wikipedia's multidisciplinary consensus-driven space in which propositional knowledge is given priority that it would be essential for entries on fiction to present non-propositional knowledge as being one of its hallmarks. For this aim, a special concept is developed that is designed to function as the study's formal object: „Erlesnis“ (which in German is a pun that combines „Erlebnis“ – adventure experience – and „lesen“ – reading). It is defined as non-propositional knowledge that has been acquired in an individual reading process. Writing about one's own Erlesnis in new ways is being tried out in essays on Traveling on One Leg (1989) by Herta Mueller, Save the Reaper (1998) by Alice Munro, Alfred and Emily (2008) by Doris Lessing and rein GOLD (2013) by Elfriede Jelinek respectively. Ideally, an Erlesnis is based on a text's literariness (see Ulrike Draesner's re-reading of Felix Krull, Thomas Mann's last novel). On de.wikipedia.org an experiment is conducted to find out what community members think about the idea of including, in entries on fiction, sections specifically designed to report about what people felt like when reading a certain text. Finally, a draft typology of Erlesnis-writing is suggested. This contribution is the first of its kind internationally to deal with Wikipedia from the point of view of transfer of knowledge on literature to the public. For the theory of this field of research some new aspects are offered for debate.

Polyrhachis revoili

description: Polyrhachis Revoili nov. sp. Femelle: Forme de la tête comme chez les espèces du groupe relucens, mais sans carènes distinctes en dessous. Pronotum muni latéralement de deux dents aiguës, assez courtes et non suivies en arrière d’une arête sensible; metanotum arrondi, inerme. Écaille épaisse, fortement et à peu près également convexe sur ses deux faces; son bord supérieur, presque rectiligne, se termine latéralement par deux épines médiocrement longues, divergentes, dirigées en haut et un peu en arrière, légèrement recourbées à leur sommet du côté de l’abdomen. En dessous de chacune de ces épines il en existe une autre moitié plus courte, dirigée bien plus en dehors, mais formant encore un angle sensible avec l’horizontale. Mandibules presque lisses et luisantes, avec des stries longitudinales très effacées et quelques points épars. Tête grossièrement et longitudinalement ridée. Épistome très faiblement caréné, superficiellement ridé-réticulé; son bord antérieur est arqué et non échancré. Thorax couvert de rugosités irrégulières plus serrées mais moins accentuées que les rides de la tête. Écaille encore plus finement rugueuse; abdomen finement réticulé-ponctué. Pubescence jaunâtre, plus longue et plus serrée sur le devant de la tête, plus fine et plus éparse sur le reste du corps. Pilosité assez abondante surtout sur la tête et l’abdomen. Scapes et pattes avec de longs poils perpendiculaires. Entièrement d’un noir presque mat sur la tête et le thorax, plus luisant sur! ' écaille et l’abdomen. Dents des mandibules, dernière moitié du funicule et tarses plus ou moins rougeâtres. - Long., 6 mill. Une seule femelle sans ailes, provenant des chasses de Revoil au pays des Somalis (Afrique orientale). Pour les rapports de cette espèce avec ses voisines on consultera le tableau suivant où j'ai résumé les caractères de tous les Polyrhachis africains.

The SDSS Galaxy Angular Two-Point Correlation Function

description: We present the galaxy two-point angular correlation function for galaxies selected from the seventh data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The galaxy sample was selected with r-band apparent magnitudes between 17 and 21, and we measure the correlation function for the full sample as well as for the four magnitude ranges: 17-18, 18-19, 19-20 and 20-21. We update the flag criteria to select a clean galaxy catalogue and detail specific tests that we perform to characterize systematic effects, including the effects of seeing, Galactic extinction and the overall survey uniformity. Notably, we find that optimally we can use observed regions with seeing <1.5 arcsec, and r-band extinction <0.13 mag, smaller than previously published results. Furthermore, we confirm that the uniformity of the SDSS photometry is minimally affected by the stripe geometry. We find that, overall, the two-point angular correlation function can be described by a power law, ω(θ) = Aω_θ^(1 - γ) with γ ≃ 1.72, over the range 0.005°-10°. We also find similar relationships for the four magnitude subsamples, but the amplitude within the same angular interval for the four subsamples is found to decrease with fainter magnitudes, in agreement with previous results. We find that the systematic signals are well below the galaxy angular correlation function for angles less than approximately 5°, which limits the modelling of galaxy angular correlations on larger scales. Finally, we present our custom, highly parallelized two-point correlation code that we used in this analysis.
Necessity of Quantizable Geometry for Quantum Gravity

description: In this paper, Dirac Quantization of $3D$ gravity in the first-order formalism is attempted where instead of quantizing the connection and triad fields, the connection and the triad 1-forms themselves are quantized. The exterior derivative operator on the space of differential forms is treated as the `time' derivative to compute the momenta conjugate to these 1-forms. This manner of quantization allows one to compute the transition amplitude in $3D$ gravity which has a close, but not exact, match with the transition amplitude computed via LQG techniques. This inconsistency is interpreted as being due to the non-quantizable nature of differential geometry.

On the Clustering of Compact Galaxy Pairs in Dark Matter Haloes
Creators: name: Yiran Wang
name: Brunner, Robert
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2015
Subjects: Cosmology

description: We analyse the clustering of photometrically selected galaxy pairs by using the halo-occupation distribution (HOD) model. We measure the angular two-point auto-correlation function, ω(θ), for galaxies and galaxy pairs in three volume-limited samples and develop an HOD to model their clustering. Our results are successfully fit by these HOD models, and we see the separation of 'one-halo' and 'two-halo' clustering terms for both single galaxies and galaxy pairs. Our clustering measurements and HOD model fits for the single galaxy samples are consistent with previous results. We find that the galaxy pairs generally have larger clustering amplitudes than single galaxies, and the quantities computed during the HOD fitting, e.g. effective halo mass, Meff, and linear bias, bg, are also larger for galaxy pairs. We find that the central fractions for galaxy pairs are significantly higher than single galaxies, which confirms that galaxy pairs are formed at the centre of more massive dark matter haloes. We also model the clustering dependence of the galaxy pair correlation function on redshift, galaxy type, and luminosity. We find early-early pairs (bright galaxy pairs) cluster more strongly than late-late pairs (dim galaxy pairs), and that the clustering does not depend on the luminosity contrast between the two galaxies in the compact group.

Camponotus nossibeensis

description: Camponotus nossibeensis nov. sp. Ouvrière: Forme générale du C. crassus Mayr. Tête courte, épaisse; épistome indistinctement et très obtusément caréné, avancé antérieurement en un lobe court et rectangulaire de chaque côté duquel il est échancré; le lobe entier en son milieu. Mandibules finement et longitudinalement ridées, marquées de points enfoncés assez nombreux. Thorax court, robuste, déprimé; son profil dorsal régulièrement arqué, sans brisure méso-métanotale; face déclive du metanotum perpendiculaire, rejoignant la face basale par un angle obtus, arrondi, mais très sensible. Suture pro-mésonotale très distincte, luisante, indiquée non seulement par un fin sillon transverse, mais aussi par l’effacement de la sculpture et par une interruption dans la pilosité. Suture méso-métanotale très obsolète, non marquée par une différence do sculpture ou de vestiture. Tout le corps, y compris l’abdomen, finement et très densément ponctué comme un dé à coudre, dessus de la tête, du thorax et de l’abdomen piqué en outre de petites fossettes nombreuses de chacune desquelles sort une soie fauve, raide et pointue à son extrémité. Ces soies, éparses sur la tête, très abondantes sur le thorax, un peu moins sur l’abdomen, sont dirigées en avant sur la tête et le thorax, en arrière et plus obliquement sur l’abdomen. Corps entièrement noir, peu luisant; dent des mandibules et extrémités des tarses un peu rougeâtres. - Long., 9 mill. Un seul exemplaire provenant de Nossi-Bé. Cette espèce paraît voisine du C. ursus Forel, qui ne m'est pas connu en nature, mais elle s’en distingue notamment par la sculpture différente de son abdomen et par sa pilosité autrement disposée.

description: We propose a policy-based framework for the QoS differentiated provisioning of services. The proposed frame-work improves the state-of-the-art in policy-based preferencespecification by combining cardinal and ordinal preferences. We describe the underlying models, focussing on the key features and contributions of the proposed framework. We also show how, using our framework, the QoS evaluation problem can be translated to a Constraint Satisfaction Problem while preserving the semantics of the preference policies.
