description: Effects of heterogeneity in the suspected-infected-susceptible model on networks are investigated using quenched mean-field theory. The emergence of localization is described by the distributions of the inverse participation ratio and compared with the rare-region effects appearing in simulations and in the Lifschitz tails. The latter, in the linear approximation, is related to the spectral density of the Laplacian matrix and to the time dependent order parameter. I show that these approximations indicate correctly Griffiths Phases both on regular one-dimensional lattices and on small world networks exhibiting purely topological disorder. I discuss the localization transition that occurs on scale-free networks at $γ=3$ degree exponent.

description: In den letzten Jahren ist das Interesse an vorschulischer Bildung deutlich gestiegen. Im Zuge dessen sind in allen Bundesländern Bildungspläne für Kindertageseinrichtungen erschienen, die eine Vielzahl von Bildungsbereichen ansprechen. Mathematische Bildung hat in vielen Kindertagestätten sicher nicht die oberste Priorität. Inzwischen gibt es aber zahlreiche Forschungen, die auf einen Zusammenhang zwischen den mathematischen Vorkenntnissen von Kindern und schulischer Leistung hinweisen (z. B. Krajewski 2003, Dornheim 2008). Von daher stellt sich heute eigentlich nicht mehr die Frage, ob mathematische Inhalte thematisiert werden, sondern wie Kinder in der Kindertageseinrichtung in ihrer mathematischen Entwicklung sinnvoll unterstützt werden.

description: This report analyzes flood damage and mitigation in the Millstone River Watershed. Located in central New Jersey, the Millstone River Watershed is part of the Raritan River Basin and drains approximately 184,300 acres. It has been the scene of chronic flooding over the last 100 years or more of record keeping. Following Hurricane Floyd (September 16-17, 1999) and its associated flooding, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) was contacted by then-Congressman Franks and Congressman Holt regarding the use of the PL83-566 Program to develop a watershed plan to reduce future flood losses in the Millstone River watershed. The Millstone River Watershed Steering Committee, which was formed in early 2000, identified seven objectives for the watershed planning effort with flood damage reduction being the top priority. It identified a number of flood mitigation measures to be studied by NRCS that subsequently analyzed flood water storage at 26 sites throughout the watershed and levees at four locations in the Lower Millstone River high priority area. This report contains these analyses and the recommendations made by the Steering Committee to further pursue the opportunities for potential flood damage reduction.

description: Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) is an important topic in smart-grid and smart-home. Many energy disaggregation algorithms have been proposed to detect various individual appliances from one aggregated signal observation. However, few works studied the energy disaggregation of plug-in electric vehicle (EV) charging in the residential environment since EVs charging at home has emerged only recently. Recent studies showed that EV charging has a large impact on smart-grid especially in summer. Therefore, EV charging monitoring has become a more important and urgent missing piece in energy disaggregation. In this paper, we present a novel method to disaggregate EV charging signals from aggregated real power signals. The proposed method can effectively mitigate interference coming from air-conditioner (AC), enabling accurate EV charging detection and energy estimation under the presence of AC power signals. Besides, the proposed algorithm requires no training, demands a light computational load, delivers high estimation accuracy, and works well for data recorded at the low sampling rate 1/60 Hz. When the algorithm is tested on real-world data recorded from 11 houses over about a whole year (total 125 months worth of data), the averaged error in estimating energy consumption of EV charging is 15.7 kwh/month (while the true averaged energy consumption of EV charging is 208.5 kwh/month), and the averaged normalized mean square error in disaggregating EV charging load signals is 0.19.

Aphrahat's Demonstrations 2 and 7
Creators: name: Hallock, Frank Hudson
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1930

description: With Ephrem, the fourth-century author Aphrahat is a shining light in early Syriac literature. His discourses on various themes, known as Demonstrations, have long been appreciated for their imagery, spirituality, and exegesis. This volume reproduces translations of Aphrahat’s 2nd and 7th Demonstrations into English, from the Journal for the Society of Oriental Research, nos. 14 and 16 (1930, 1932). In Demonstration 2, On Love, Aphrahat discusses law over against love and the relationship between Law and Gospel; he discusses Jesus’ commandments on love and forgiveness and he relates how Jesus exemplified the love he commands. The discussion of Law and Gospel gives Aphrahat the opportunity to trace salvation history. Demonstration 7, On Penitents, is one of the earliest and most thorough discussions of penance or repentance in any language. Aphrahat offers an extended picture of Jesus as physician to sinners, and he points out numerous examples of penitents from the Bible and God’s acceptance of them. Finally, with a heartfelt sense of pastoral care, he calls on pastors to follow Jesus’ example as they encourage and welcome those who repent. Aphrahat’s thorough acquaintance with the Bible comes across in almost every line.

description: We study angular-dependent magnetoresistance in a low $T_c$ layered cuprate Bi$_{2.15}$Sr$_{1.9}$CuO$_{6+δ}$. The low $T_c$ ~ 4 K allows complete suppression of superconductivity by modest magnetic fields and facilitate accurate analysis of the upper critical field $H_{c2}$. We observe an universal exponential decay of fluctuation conductivity in a broad range of temperatures above $T_c$ and propose a new method for extraction of $H_{c2}(T)$ from the scaling analysis of the fluctuation conductivity at $T>T_c$. Our main result is observation of a surprisingly low $H_{c2}$ anisotropy ~ 2, which is much smaller than the effective mass anisotropy of the material ~ 300. We show that the anisotropy is decreasing with increasing field and saturates at a small value when the field reaches the paramagnetic limit. We argue that the dramatic discrepancy of high field and low field anisotropies is a clear evidence for paramagnetically limited superconductivity.

description: We propose convenient inferential methods for potentially nonstationary multivariate unobserved components models with fractional integration and cointegration. Based on finite-order ARMA approximations in the state space representation, maximum likelihood estimation can make use of the EM algorithm and related techniques. The approximation outperforms the frequently used autoregressive or moving average truncation, both in terms of computational costs and with respect to approximation quality. Monte Carlo simulations reveal good estimation properties of the proposed methods for processes of different complexity and dimension.

description: In this paper we present a novel formulation of chaotic hybrid inflation in supergravity. The model includes a waterfall field which spontaneously breaks a gauged $U_1(B-L)$ at a GUT scale. This allows for the possibility of future model building which includes the standard formulation of baryogenesis via leptogenesis with the waterfall field decaying into right-handed neutrinos. We have not considered the following issues in this short paper, i.e. supersymmetry breaking, dark matter or the gravitino or moduli problems. Our focus is on showing the compatibility of the present model with Planck, WMAP and Bicep2 data.

Year: 2002

description: The objective of this project was to develop a conceptual stabilization approach for impaired segments of the Manasquan River, from its headwater areas in Freehold and Howell Townships, to a point upstream of the Squankum Dam, in Howell Township. The approach formulated is proposed to serve as a guide to the Executive Board of Watershed Management Area 12 for ameliorating the effects of existing erosion damage and minimizing future erosion. This project used a phased approach that synthesized the major factors contributing to the observed erosion and de-stabilization of the Manasquan River. This study examined the environmental characteristics of the river and watershed within the context of the surrounding land use and local geology. The resulting conceptual stabilization approach integrated existing best management practices (BMPs), bioengineering methods, and traditional engineering design within the framework of a stream geomorphological evaluation (i.e., a Rosgen-based stream classification method).

Data-Driven Induction Motor Control by Reinforcement Learning Including a Model Predictive Safety
Creators: name: Book, Felix
Publisher: name: Universität Paderborn
Year: 2022

description: For the control of an induction motor (IM), there exist different approaches to control thetorque. These include the classical field-oriented controller (FOC), but also other methodssuch as a model predictive controller (MPC). Both control methods have in common thatan exact knowledge of the system parameters is necessary. As these are often not exactlyknown and the system behavior is nonlinear, an optimal control of the motor is difficultto reach. Therefore, a data-driven control method is presented in this thesis. This isbased on reinforcement learning (RL), which has been used for the last few years for thecontrol of technical systems. Previous research has shown that this control method canalso be used for the control of motors, such as the permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM). Furthermore, a data-driven approach for estimating the magnetic flux is presented. Becausean RL agent does not consider limitations when selecting an action, a system model isidentified in parallel. This model is used to predict the following state, in order to decidewhether an action is safe or not. As there are many suitable RL algorithms, four algorithmsare compared in an extended hyperparameter optimization. It has been observed that theProximal Policy Optimization (PPO) agent shows the best control performance. Finally,the performance of the RL controller is compared simulatively with an FOC. It is shownthat the RL controller can follow the reference quite well, but cannot achieve the efficiencyof the FOC.

description: We study the feasibility of observationally constraining the rotation rate of hot Jupiters, planets that are typically assumed to have been tidally locked into synchronous rotation. We use a three-dimensional General Circulation Model to solve for the atmospheric structure of two hot Jupiters (HD 189733b and HD 209458b), assuming rotation periods that are 0.5, 1, or 2 times their orbital periods (2.2 and 3.3 days, respectively), including the effect of variable stellar heating. We compare two observable properties: 1) the spatial variation of flux emitted by the planet, measurable in orbital phase curves, and 2) the net Doppler shift in transmission spectra of the atmosphere, which is tantalizingly close to being measurable in high-resolution transit spectra. Although we find little difference between the observable properties of the synchronous and non-synchronous models of HD 189733b, we see significant differences when we compare the models of HD 209458b. In particular, the slowly rotating model of HD 209458b has an atmospheric circulation pattern characterized by westward flow and an orbital phase curve that peaks after secondary eclipse (in contrast to all of our other models), while the quickly rotating model has a net Doppler shift that is more strongly blue-shifted than the other models. Our results demonstrate that the combined use of these two techniques may be a fruitful way to constrain the rotation rate of some planets, and motivate future work on this topic.

Queens stay, workers leave: caste-specific responses to fatal infections in an ant

subject: 610 Medizin

description: Background The intense interactions among closely related individuals in animal societies provide perfect conditions for the spread of pathogens. Social insects have therefore evolved counter-measures on the cellular, individual, and social level to reduce the infection risk. One striking example is altruistic self-removal, i.e., lethally infected workers leave the nest and die in isolation to prevent the spread of a contagious disease to their nestmates. Because reproductive queens and egg-laying workers behave less altruistically than non-laying workers, e.g., when it comes to colony defense, we wondered whether moribund egg-layers would show the same self-removal as non-reproductive workers. Furthermore, we investigated how a lethal infection affects reproduction and studied if queens and egg-laying workers intensify their reproductive efforts when their residual reproductive value decreases (“terminal investment”). Results We treated queens, egg-laying workers from queenless colonies, and non-laying workers from queenright colonies of the monogynous (single-queened) ant Temnothorax crassispinus either with a control solution or a solution containing spores of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium brunneum. Lethally infected workers left the nest and died away from it, regardless of their reproductive status. In contrast, infected queens never left the nest and were removed by workers only after they had died. The reproductive investment of queens strongly decreased after the treatment with both, the control solution and the Metarhizium brunneum suspension. The egg laying rate in queenless colonies was initially reduced in infected colonies but not in control colonies. Egg number increased again with decreasing number of infected workers. Conclusions Queens and workers of the ant Temnothorax crassispinus differ in their reaction to an infection risk and a reduced life expectancy. Workers isolate themselves to prevent contagion inside the colony, whereas queens stay in the nest. We did not find terminal investment; instead it appeared that egg-layers completely shut down egg production in response to the lethal infection. Workers in queenless colonies resumed reproduction only after all infected individuals had died, probably again to minimize the risk of infecting the offspring.

description: Ambient RF (Radio Frequency) energy harvesting technique has recently been proposed as a potential solution to provide proactive energy replenishment for wireless devices. This paper aims to analyze the performance of a battery-free wireless sensor powered by ambient RF energy harvesting using a stochastic-geometry approach. Specifically, we consider a random network model in which ambient RF sources are distributed as a Ginibre $α$-determinantal point process which recovers the Poisson point process when alpha? approaches zero. We characterize the expected RF energy harvesting rate.We also perform a worst-case study which derives the upper bounds of both power outage and transmission outage probabilities. Numerical results show that our upper bounds are accurate and that better performance is achieved when the distribution of ambient sources exhibits stronger repulsion.

description: We observe that the illumination of unbiased graphene in the quantum Hall regime with polarized terahertz laser radiation results in a direct edge current. This photocurrent is caused by an imbalance of persistent edge currents, which are driven out of thermal equilibrium by indirect transitions within the chiral edge channel. The direction of the edge photocurrent is determined by the polarity of the external magnetic field, while its magnitude depends on the radiation polarization. The microscopic theory developed in this paper describes well the experimental data.

Secondary polygonal instability of buckled spherical shells

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: When a spherical elastic capsule is deflated, it first buckles axisymmetrically and subsequently loses its axisymmetry in a secondary instability, where the dimple acquires a polygonal shape. We explain this secondary polygonal buckling in terms of wrinkles developing at the inner side of the dimple edge in response to compressive hoop stress. Analyzing the axisymmetric buckled shape, we find a compressive hoop stress with parabolic stress profile at the dimple edge. We further show that there exists a critical value for this hoop stress, where it becomes favorable for the membrane to buckle out of its axisymmetric shape, thus releasing the compression. The instability mechanism is analogous to the formation of wrinkles under compressive stress. A simplified stability analysis allows us to quantify the critical stress for secondary buckling. Applying this secondary buckling criterion to the axisymmetric shapes, we can determine the critical volume for secondary buckling. Our analytical result is in close agreement with existing numerical data.

The current study aims to: (a) Identify the social cognitive constructs that predict oral hygiene behaviours in pregnant women; (b) Identify the unique effects of each social cognitive construct on mechanical oral hygiene behaviours in pregnant women using meta-analytic path analysis; (c) Identify the mediators (e.g. planning) and moderators (e.g. age, gender, type of behaviour, study design) of the effects of the social cognitive constructs on oral hygiene behaviours in pregnant women.

description: We reconstruct the gravitational lensing convergence signal from Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization data taken by the POLARBEAR experiment and cross-correlate it with Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) maps from the Herschel satellite. From the cross-spectra, we obtain evidence for gravitational lensing of the CMB polarization at a statistical significance of 4.0$σ$ and evidence for the presence of a lensing $B$-mode signal at a significance of 2.3$σ$. We demonstrate that our results are not biased by instrumental and astrophysical systematic errors by performing null-tests, checks with simulated and real data, and analytical calculations. This measurement of polarization lensing, made via the robust cross-correlation channel, not only reinforces POLARBEAR auto-correlation measurements, but also represents one of the early steps towards establishing CMB polarization lensing as a powerful new probe of cosmology and astrophysics.

title: Characterization of lecithotrophic propagules in echinoderms
Creators: name: Ferguson-Roberts, Janet M.
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: Reproduction often involves use of propagules (e.g. spores, seeds and fruit, fertilized eggs, embryos, and larvae), which are frequently dispersed in a medium such as air or water. These propagules possess characteristics (e.g. size, shape, viscosity, biochemical composition) that may influence their viability. Lecithotrophic (maternally-provisioned) eggs of echinoderms display a diversity of colours and buoyancies worldwide, yet these characteristics are rarely investigated in depth. Much more is known on the biochemical composition of propagules in relation to the ecology of lecithotrophic echinoderms. Thus, the objectives of this thesis were to quantify and find trends in the externally observable biophysical properties (colour and buoyancy) and connect them to trends found in the internal biochemical composition (lipids and pigments) across 1) the oocytes of different species of echinoderms with lecithotrophic development (sea stars: Leptasterias polaris, Henricia sanguinolenta, H. perforata, Crossaster papposus, Solaster endeca, sea cucumbers: Cucumaria frondosa and Psolus fabricii) and 2) across stages of oogenesis and development in the sea cucumber C. frondosa. Using an analytical chemistry technique, thin-layer chromatography with ionization detection, chromaticity, and spectrophotometry, I found 1) a trend in most metrics (density, chromaticity colour coordinates, percentages of glyceryl ethers and triacylglycerols, and pigment concentration) of mature oocytes associated with the phylogeny of the seven focal species, and 2) a bell curve trend in all metrics associated with the eco-physiological constraints of each life stage through the ontogeny (early vitellogenic oocytes to early juveniles) of C. frondosa. An additional contribution of this study was the exploration and development of methods to assess the density and colour of the propagules of seven focal species by reappropriating techniques from the fields of analytical chemistry and colour science (chromaticity x,y coordinates). Future research should extend to other invertebrates or externally fertilizing species, and explore the driving effects of visual predators, ultraviolet radiation, and dispersal on propagule characteristics.
Measurement of chi_c1 and chi_c2 production with sqrt(s) = 7 TeV pp collisions at ATLAS
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The prompt and non-prompt production cross-sections for the chi_c1 and chi_c2 charmonium states are measured in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using 4.5 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity. The chi_c states are reconstructed through the radiative decay chi_c -> J/psi gamma (with J/psi -> mu+mu-) where photons are reconstructed from gamma -> e+e- conversions. The production rate of the chi_c2 state relative to the chi_c1 state is measured for prompt and non-prompt chi_c as a function of J/psi transverse momentum. The prompt chi_c cross-sections are combined with existing measurements of prompt J/psi production to derive the fraction of prompt J/psi produced in feed-down from chi_c decays. The fractions of chi_c1 and chi_c2 produced in b-hadron decays are also measured.

State of the Art (SOTA) Manual for Internal Combustion Engines
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Air Quality Permitting Program
Year: 1997

description: These State of the Art (SOTA) performance levels apply to all new stationary internal combustion (I.C.) engines with heat input rate greater than one million BTU per hour and for which a permit to construct and certificate to operate is required.  The levels specify emission rates and control technologies applicable to I.C. engines.  The SOTA performance levels for emergency diesel generator engines, existing engines, two-cycle engines and engines combusting non-commercial fuel (such as landfill gas, digester gas, and refinery gas) will be determined on a case by case basis.  As promulgated in the New Jersey Air Pollution Control Act N.J.S.A. 26:2C-9.2C, and as set forth in the implementing regulations of the Air Pollution Control Act (N.J.A.C. 7:27-8 and N.J.A.C. 7:27-22.35), newly constructed, reconstructed, or modified equipment and control apparatus is required to incorporate advances in the art of air pollution control developed for the kind and amount of air contaminant emitted by the applicant's equipment or control apparatus.  The Air Pollution Control Act of New Jersey directed the Department to publish technical manuals that would include performance levels with respect to air pollution control, to be used by some permit applicants for demonstrating advances in the art of air pollution control.  'Advances in the art of air pollution control' is commonly referred to as 'State-of-the-Art' or SOTA.  SOTA generally includes performance limits that are based on air pollution control technology, pollution prevention methods, and process modifications or substitutions that will provide the greatest emission reductions that are technologically and economically feasible.  There are 17 SOTA manuals included in this series.  They cover the following topics:  volatile organic storage tanks; transfer operations; petroleum refineries; asphalt plants; chemical and pharmaceutical processing and manufacturing industries; degreasers and other solvent based metal surface cleaners; surface coating operations; commercial sterilizers and fumigators using ethylene oxide; municipal wastewater/sludge handling and treatment systems; non-hazardous onsite remediation processes; bakery ovens; broilers; internal combustion engines; stationary gas turbines; glass industry; paint, ink, and adhesive manufacturing industries; graphic arts industry.

description: Αντικείμενο της μελέτης "Εκπαίδευση και Νεολαία στην κατεχόμενη Λάρισα (1941-1944)" αποτελεί η διερεύνηση των εκπαιδευτικών και κοινωνικών πραγμάτων στη Λάρισα την περίοδο της κατοχής. Η ιταλογερμανική κατοχή δημιούργησε μία νέα πραγματικότητα, η οποία είχε αντίκτυπο στην κοινωνία, την πολιτική, την οικονομία και την εκπαίδευση. Επιπλέον, η στάση των κατακτητών επηρέασε σε μεγάλο βαθμό τη στάση των πολιτών και κυρίως της νεολαίας, αλλά καθόρισε και τη λειτουργία της εκπαίδευσης. Η παρούσα μελέτη αποτελεί μία ερευνητική προσέγγιση της τοπικής ιστορίας της εκπαίδευσης κατά την παραπάνω περίοδο. Ως χρονικά όρια τίθενται η 19η Απριλίου, ημέρα εισβολής των Γερμανών κατακτητών στην πόλη μέχρι και την απελευθέρωσή της στις 23 Οκτωβρίου 1944. Τα γεγονότα εκτυλίσσονται στη Λάρισα με αναφορές και στην ευρύτερη περιοχή, εφόσον υπάρχει σύνδεση ή συσχετισμός με όσα διαδραματίστηκαν στην περιοχή της Λάρισας.
description: The object of the study "Education and Youth in occupied Larissa (1941-1944)" is the investigation of educational and social matters in Larissa during the period of occupation. The Italo-German occupation created a new reality, which had an impact on society, politics, economy and education. In addition, the attitude of the conquerors greatly influenced the attitude of the citizens and especially the youth, but also determined the functioning of education. The present study is a research approach to the local history of education during the above period. The time limits are set from April 19, the day the German invaders invaded the city until its liberation on October 23, 1944. The events unfold in Larissa with references to the wider area, as long as there is a connection or correlation with what took place in the Larissa area.
