description: We study the contribution of subhalos to the 21 cm forest signal. The halos can host the substructures and including the effects of those small scale clumps can potentially boost the 21 cm optical depth in favor of detecting the 21 cm forest signals. We estimate the boost factor representing the ratio of the optical depth due to the subhalo contribution and that due to the host halo alone (without subhalos). Even though the optical depth boost factor is negligible for a small host halo with the mass of order $10^5 M_{\odot}$, the subhalo contribution can enhance the optical depth by an order of magnitude for a host halo of order $10^7 M_{\odot}$. The resultant 21 cm absorption line abundance which is obtained by integrating over the halo mass range relevant for the 21 cm forest signal can be enhanced by up to of order $10\%$ due to the substructures. The larger boost factor for a larger host halo would be of particular interest for the 21 cm forest detection because the the contribution of the larger host halos to the 21 cm forest signals is smaller due to their higher temperature and less abundance than the smaller host halos. The subhalos hence can well help the larger host halos more important for the signal estimation which, without considering the subhalos, may not give appreciable contribution to 21 cm forest signals.

description: The European Directive 2010/31/EU establishes that starting from the end of 2020 all new buildings
will have a very low yearly energy consumption, which can be achieved by both highest energy efficiency and by
energy from renewables, which shall be on-site or nearby (Nearly Zero Energy Buildings - Net ZEBs). It does mean a
new “energy paradigm”, buildings are going to be transformed through a careful design into energy generation
systems, and the conventional, centralized system of energy generation is going to be replaced by a "web" of energy
generation systems. In achieving the ZEB target a major role will be played by architects and designers, In a near
future, buildings will be designed to need very little energy (passive design strategies for energy efficiency), and to
integrate active surfaces (Photovoltaic modules) for generating energy. This approach requires a new thinking, able to
use the energy we need as an input for design. In this scenario, PV has many potentialities, thanks to its features and
enormous decrease in cost and since it can power any kind of energy request of the building (thermal and electrical),
with the consequence that a ZEB could be theoretically entirely powered by PV.

description: The DualSun is an innovative unglazed photovoltaic-thermal module (PV-T) with high heat transfer between photovoltaic cells and heat exchanger, and with low stagnation temperature. To understand specific performance characteristics of this DualSun, a general 1D model has been performed, leading to an exponential equation for outlet temperature when weather and inlet fluid characteristics are known. As wind influence was an issue, a new formula is proposed in this study to take it better into account. This model was analytically linked to normative Solar Keymark linear equations for unglazed thermal solar modules which is the reference to compare commercial modules. DualSun modules and pure photovoltaic modules were installed in a pilot monitored individual house in the south of France in Marseille. Installed probes permit to calculate in-situ thermal and electrical performances. Statistics of the discrepancy between the model and the results of the pilot are given. A 1.3% relative difference was find in global thermal production for October that validate the model. Further development has however to be done to be more precise with this model, as the standard variance is still high.

description: Electricity supply from roof-mounted PV panels and household electricity demand typically show a poor correlation when considered on a minutely basis. Adding a battery to the PV system allows electricity generated during daylight to be consumed in the evening when demand is often highest, so increasing self-consumption of PV generated electricity. This paper describes a simulation designed to investigate the integration of a lead-acid battery storage system with a residential grid-connected PV system. The addition of storage to the PV system, for both the single house and community configurations, significantly reduced grid import and export. The self-consumption of PV generated electricity for the single house was 29% with no storage, increasing to 87% when an oversized lead-acid battery was included. The optimum battery capacity, from an economic perspective, was 2.8 kWh corresponding to a self-consumption of 46%. For a community, self consumption was 36% without storage increasing to 52% with the optimum battery capacity of 0.98 kWh per dwelling.

description: With decreasing subsidies for PV systems, increased self-consumption of PV electricity could improve the profitability of grid-connected residential PV systems. Self-consumption is in this paper defined as the share of the PV production consumed in a building on an hourly basis. With higher prices for buying than selling electricity, the revenue due to self-consumption is higher than the profit of selling electricity to the grid. The focus of this paper is the potential to increase the self-consumption with alternative PV system layouts, i.e. several different azimuth and tilt angles, called 3DPV. Hourly data from an existing PV system on a detached house outside Västerås, Sweden, combined with meteorological and spot price data of electricity has been used, all from 2011. The results of one-year simulations show increased self-consumption and decreased PV production with 3DPV compared to a south-oriented PV system. The revenue decreases with 3DPV when using historical hourly spot market data. However, there are other benefits with 3DPV such as decreased rated power of the inverter due to lower PV peak production.

description: In some rural and sub-urban areas the hosting capacity of LV networks is exhausted, mainly due to the
voltage rise caused by the power infeed of photovoltaic generators. In order to enhance the hosting capacity by
limiting the voltage rise caused by the PV infeed, several concepts have been proposed in R&D projects or specified
in connection rules. Validating the functioning and the performance of voltage control concepts under real network
conditions is a challenging task due to the numerous uncontrolled influencing factors (such as load behavior for
example). Several active and reactive power control strategies were tested in a low-voltage network in Upper Austria.
This paper summarizes the results of the 9-month field tests and proposes a way of quantifying the voltage
compensation under real conditions by limiting the effect of uncontrolled factors. The investigations demonstrated the
proper operation of the developed control concepts.

description: The understanding of cross-field transport is crucial in order to optimize the properties of magnetic confinement in modern fusion devices. In this work, a two-dimensional, simplified model is used to study the turbulent dynamics in the region of the scrape-off layer. We show how the numerical model, based on the reduced Braginskii equations, is able to describe the formation and the evolution over time of blobs structures. We study these complex dynamics by using both classical Eulerian analysis and the Lagrangian approach, by varying the ambient conditions of the plasma. We have found that both the magnetic shear and the plasma profiles are crucial for the properties of the transport. By following Lagrangian tracers, we observed diffusive transients for the radial transport, at lengthscales larger than the typical blob size. This work is relevant for the comprehension of the turbulent transport at the edges of tokamak devices.

description: Based on the exact dynamics of a two-qubit system and environment, we investigate system-environment (SE) quantum and classical correlations. The coupling is chosen to represent a dephasing channel for one of the qubits and the environment is a proper thermal bath. First we discuss the general issue of dilation for qubit phase damping. Based on the usual thermal bath of harmonic oscillators, we derive criteria of separability and entanglement between an initial $X$ state and the environment. Applying these criteria to initial Werner states, we find that entanglement between the system and environment is built up in time for temperatures below a certain critical temperature $T_{\mathrm{crit}}$. On the other hand, the total state remains separable during those short times that are relevant for decoherence and loss of entanglement in the two-qubit state. Close to $T_{\mathrm{crit}}$ the SE correlations oscillate between separable and entangled. Even though these oscillations are also observed in the entanglement between the two qubits, no simple relation between the loss of entanglement in the two-qubit system and the build-up of entanglement between the system and environment is found.

PV and Architecture

description: 29th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 3619-3624
description: This work presents a methodology with architectural and engineering technical guidelines for the
integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy in historic buildings protected by the public laws. Brazil has many
urban sites in cities founded during the colonial periods of sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, with strong European
influences. At that time, most of these cities were under domain of Portugal and Spain and some of them, for short
periods, were under domain of the Netherlands. Some of these cities are currently UNESCO world heritage sites, like
São Luiz city. The universe of the present research comprises historic buildings of Belém city, located at Pará State,
on Brazilian northern region and on the heart of the Amazon Region. The roof plane is adopted as the PV modules
installation plane since the façade integration tends to damage the building’s cultural value. The proposed
methodology aims to evaluate the impact of the PV integration in historic buildings, in terms of architecture and
energy performance, in order to minimize the commitment of the cultural characteristics of the historic and protected
buildings and to maximize the PV electricity generation.
title: Statistical inference for some choice models
Creators: name: Zhou, Kaifang
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2023

description: This thesis comprises two chapters that study the statistical inference problems for two types of choice models, namely, the discrete voter model and the Bradley-Terry models, respectively. In Chapter 1, we consider a discrete-time voter model process on a set of nodes, each being in one of two states, either 0 or 1. In each time step, each node adopts the state of a randomly sampled neighbour according to sampling probabilities, referred to as node interaction parameters. We study the maximum likelihood estimation of the node interaction parameters from observed node states for a given number of realizations of the voter model process. We present parameter estimation error bounds by interpreting the observation data as being generated according to an extended voter process that consists of cycles, each corresponding to a realization of the voter model process until absorption to a consensus state. We present new bounds for all moments and a probability tail bound for consensus time. We also present a sampling complexity lower bound for parameter estimation within a prescribed error tolerance for the class of locally stable estimators. In Chapter 2, we study the popular methods for inference of the Bradley-Terry model parameters, namely the gradient descent and MM algorithm, for maximum likelihood estimation and maximum a posteriori probability estimation. This class of models includes the Bradley-Terry model of paired comparisons, the Rao-Kupper model of paired comparisons allowing for tie outcomes, the Luce choice model, and the Plackett-Luce ranking model. We propose a simple modification of the classical gradient descent and MM algorithm with a parameter rescaling performed at each iteration step that avoids the observed slow convergence issue that we found in our previous work (Vojnovic et al. [2020]). We study the convergence rates of accelerated gradient descent and MM Algorithms for Bradley-Terry models. We also produce some experimental results using synthetic and real-world data to show that significant efficiency gains can be obtained by our new proposed method.

description: Neutrino emission in coincidence with gamma rays has been observed from the blazar TXS 0506+056 by the IceCube telescope. Neutrinos from the blazar had to pass through a dense spike of dark matter (DM) surrounding the central black hole. The observation of such a neutrino implies new upper bounds on the neutrino-DM scattering cross section as a function of DM mass. The constraint is stronger than existing ones for a range of DM masses, if the cross section rises linearly with energy. For constant cross sections, competitive bounds are also possible, depending on details of the DM spike.

description: A continuous model of double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT) low-frequency dynamics was constructed. In the frame of the approach proposed formation of a DWCNT low-frequency phonon spectrum from the ones of corresponding single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) was considered. Environmental influence on the individual DWCNT phonon spectrum was studied. A combined method of van der Waals interlayer coupling coefficients evaluation was proposed, and it is based on Raman spectroscopy data and known values of graphite elastic moduli. Also DWCNT low-temperature specific heat was calculated. In the model applicability region (at temperatures lower than 35 K) DWCNT specific heat turned out to be significantly lower than the specific heat sum of corresponding individual single-walled SWCNTs. This effect is caused mainly by the interlayer coupling instead of DWCNT interaction with environment.

description: We propose a scheme for constructing a phase plate for use in an ultrafast Zernike-type phase contrast electron microscope, based on the interaction of the electron beam with a strongly focused, high-power femtosecond laser pulse and a pulsed electron beam. Analytical expressions for the phase shift using the time-averaged ponderomotive potential and a paraxial approximation for the focused laser beam are presented, as well as more rigorous quasiclassical simulations based on the quantum phase integral along classical, relativistic electron trajectories in an accurate, non-paraxial description of the laser beam. The results are shown to agree well unless the laser beam is focused to a waist size below a wavelength. For realistic (off-the-shelf) laser parameters the optimum phase shift of $-π/2$ is shown to be achievable. When combined with RF-cavity based electron chopping and compression techniques to produce electron pulses, a femtosecond regime pulsed phase contrast microscope can be constructed. The feasibility and robustness of the scheme are further investigated using the simulations, leading to motivated choices for design parameters such as wavelength, focus size and polarization.

description: Abstract The 2019 corona virus outbreak that has advanced into 2022 has profoundly affected the United States Citizenry. Many businesses, households, and governments took takes to impose restrictions such as social distancing, closed businesses and schools, working from home and limiting of social gatherings to slow the spread of the virus. The measures taken to impede the spread of the virus caused the closing of business or curtailing of business operations and government activities. Manufacturing was affected, a factor that resulted into the disruption of global and local supply chains and caused a decrease in good demanded. The disruptions to economic activity slowed down expansion and precipitated acute labor market conditions deterioration. Policy makers are taking steps to support the economic rebound in response to the previous slowdown. This paper aims to give an economic outlook of the United States economy for the year 2020-2021.

description: Theoretically, the coordinate measurement of two identical particles at a point by two narrowly separated narrow detectors, is interpreted in the limit of shrinking width and separation, as the detection of two particles by a single narrow detector. { Ordinarily, the ratio between probabilities of point measurements is independent of the width of the narrow detectors.} We show here that not only this is not the case, but that in some scenarios the results depend on the way the dimensions shrink to zero. The ratio between the width and the separation determines the detection result. { In particular, it is shown that the bunching parameter of bosons is not a well-defined physical property. Moreover, it may suggests that } there is a difficulty in quantum measurement theory in the interpretation of coordinate measurement of two particles.

It is demonstrated that manipulation of dielectric contrast between wire dielectric shell and host material results in switching of metamaterial dispersion regime from elliptic to the hyperbolic one, i.e. the topological transition takes place. We confirm our theoretical predictions by full-wave numerical simulations.

description: A first attempt to accommodate the chiral and deconfining phase transitions of QCD in the bottom-up holographic framework is given. We constrain the relation between dilaton field $ϕ$ and metric warp factor $A_e$ and get several reasonable models in the Einstein-Dilaton system. Using the potential reconstruction approach, we solve the corresponding gravity background. Then we fit the background-related parameters by comparing the equation of state with the two-flavor lattice QCD results. After that we study the temperature dependent behavior of Polyakov loop and chiral condensate under those background solutions. We find that the results are in good agreement with the two-flavor lattice results. All the studies about the equation of state, the Polyakov loop and the chiral condensate signal crossover behavior of the phase transitions, which is consistent with the current understanding on the QCD phase transitions with physical quark mass. Furthermore, the extracted transition temperatures are comparable with the two-flavor lattice QCD results.

description: An assessment of roof-mounted PV capacity over a local region can be accurately calculated by established roof segmentation algorithms using high-resolution light detection and ranging (LiDAR) datasets. However, over larger city regions often only low-resolution LiDAR data is available where such algorithms prove unreliable for small rooftops. A methodology optimised for low-resolution LiDAR datasets is presented, where small and large buildings are considered separately. The roof segmentation algorithm for small buildings, which are typically residential properties, assigns a roof profile to each building from a catalogue of common profiles after identifying LiDAR points within the building footprint. Large buildings, such as warehouses, offer a more diverse range of roof profiles but geometric features are generally large, so a direct approach is taken to segmentation
where all the LiDAR points are considered individually and then connected segmentally. The methodology is demonstrated by application to the city region of Leeds, UK. Validation by comparison to aerial photography indicates that the assignment of an appropriate roof profile to a small building is correct in 81% of cases.

description: The recrossing correction to the transition state theory estimate of a thermal rate can be difficult to calculate when the energy barrier is flat. This problem arises, for example, in polymer escape if the polymer is long enough to stretch between the initial and final state energy wells while the polymer beads undergo diffusive motion back and forth over the barrier. We present an efficient method for evaluating the correction factor by constructing a sequence of hyperplanes starting at the transition state and calculating the probability that the system advances from one hyperplane to another towards the product. This is analogous to what is done in forward flux sampling except that there the hyperplane sequence starts at the initial state. The method is applied to the escape of polymers with up to 64 beads from a potential well. For high temperature, the results are compared with direct Langevin dynamics simulations as well as forward flux sampling and excellent agreement between the three rate estimates is found. The use of a sequence of hyperplanes in the evaluation of the recrossing correction speeds up the calculation by an order of magnitude as compared with the traditional approach. As the temperature is lowered, the direct Langevin dynamics simulations as well as the forward flux simulations become computationally too demanding, while the harmonic transition state theory estimate corrected for recrossings can be calculated without significant increase in the computational effort.
The quantum state as spatial displacement

description: We give a simple demonstration that the Schrödinger equation may be recast as a self-contained second-order Newtonian law for a congruence of spacetime trajectories. This provides a pictorial representation of the quantum state as the displacement function of the collective whereby quantum evolution is represented as the deterministic unfolding of a continuous coordinate transformation. Introducing gauge potentials for the density and current density it is shown that the wave-mechanical and trajectory pictures are connected by a canonical transformation. The canonical trajectory theory is shown to provide an alternative basis for the quantum operator calculus and the issue of the observability of the quantum state is examined within this context. The construction illuminates some of the problems involved in connecting the quantum and classical descriptions.

description: In this paper, we establish quantitative Green's function estimates for some higher dimensional lattice quasi-periodic (QP) Schrödinger operators. The resonances in the estimates can be described via a pair of symmetric zeros of certain functions and the estimates apply to the sub-exponential type non-resonant conditions. As the application of quantitative Green's function estimates, we prove both the arithmetic version of Anderson localization and the $(\frac 12-)$-Hölder continuity of the integrated density of states (IDS) for such QP Schrödinger operators. This gives an affirmative answer to Bourgain's problem in\cite{Bou00}.

description: This paper documents the study of Photovoltaic integration in the building’s envelope using
architectural analysis and design strategies. The research is based on the latest PV technology and commonly applied
façade technologies from the building industry. Whilst the architect’s primary objective is to deliver the ‘results’ of
architectural planning, the goal of the research is to propel sustainable energy generation in building envelopes to the
forefront of integral design thinking leading to exciting new architectural applications.
We focus on two UNStudio projects to illustrate the range of design aspects relevant to the aesthetic integration of PV
in façade design. One project is the performative integration of architectural PV panels on the building scale with an
office building façade design for a major PV supplier. The second project is on a PV module scale and refers to the
initial results of EU funded research into aesthetical and cost efficient PV modules for the European market. This
project is in cooperation with partners from the Construct-PV consortium.
We would like to share our vision on designing and integrating PV in architectural building envelopes. This paper
provides an insight into design research that combines clear technological constraints with soft design decisions and
creative solutions.
Phase speed and frequency-dependent damping of longitudinal intensity oscillations in coronal loop structures observed with AIA/SDO

description: Longitudinal intensity oscillations along coronal loops that are interpreted as signatures of magneto-acoustic waves are observed frequently in different coronal structures. The aim of this paper is to estimate the physical parameters of the slow waves and the quantitative dependence of these parameters on their frequencies in the solar corona loops that are situated above active regions with the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) onboard Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO). The observed data on 2012-Feb-12, consisting of 300 images with an interval of 24 seconds in the 171 $\rmÅ$ and 193 $\rmÅ$ passbands is analyzed for evidence of propagating features as slow waves along the loop structures. Signatures of longitudinal intensity oscillations that are damped rapidly as they travel along the loop structures were found, with periods in the range of a few minutes to few tens of minutes. Also, the projected (apparent) phase speeds, projected damping lengths, damping times and damping qualities of filtered intensities centred on the dominant frequencies are measured in the range of $\rm{C_s}\simeq 38-79~ \rm {km~s^{-1}}$, $\rm{L_d}\simeq 23-68 ~\rm{Mm }$, $\rm{τ_d}\simeq 7- 21 ~\rm {min}$ and $\rm{τ_d/P}\simeq 0.34- 0.77$, respectively. The theoretical and observational results of this study indicate that the damping times and damping lengths increase with increasing the oscillation periods, and are highly sensitive function of oscillation period, but the projected speeds and the damping qualities are not very sensitive to the oscillation periods. Furthermore, the magnitude values of physical parameters are in good agreement with the prediction of the theoretical dispersion relations of high-frequency MHD waves ($>1.1~ \rm{mHz}$) in a coronal plasma with electron number density in the range of $\rm{n_e}\simeq 10^{7} - 10^{12} ~\rm{cm^{-3}}$.

description: In this paper, the authors report on a jointly conducted analysis of the current status of the BIPV market
starting from a comprehensive overview on the available product, discussing the application ranges and finally by
giving the price levels. For this purpose a market survey was conducted among the various stakeholders in the BIPV
sector, including architects, installers and BIPV product suppliers. The product survey was conducted for the general
European Market and the price survey concerned only Benelux and Swiss markets. The most frequent products analysed
were PV tiles and in-roof mounting systems (for residential roofs). Although crystalline silicon technology was
most commonly used, thin film technologies gained considerable share in façade products. The data from the price
survey showed that new buildings using BIPV products can be executed at very similar costs than projects involving
conventional and/or building applied PV products.
