description: Future power grids are fundamentally different from current ones, both in size and in complexity; this trend imposes challenges for situation awareness (SA) based on classical indicators, which are usually model-based and deterministic. As an alternative, this paper proposes a statistical indicator system based on linear eigenvalue statistics (LESs) of large random matrices: 1) from a data modeling viewpoint, we build, starting from power flows equations, the random matrix models (RMMs) only using the real-time data flow in a statistical manner; 2) for a data analysis that is fully driven from RMMs, we put forward the high-dimensional indicators, called LESs that have some unique statistical features such as Gaussian properties; and 3) we develop a three-dimensional (3D) power-map to visualize the system, respectively, from a high-dimensional viewpoint and a low-dimensional one. Therefore, a statistical methodology of SA is employed; it conducts SA with a model-free and data-driven procedure, requiring no knowledge of system topologies, units operation/control models, causal relationship, etc. This methodology has numerous advantages, such as sensitivity, universality, speed, and flexibility. In particular, its robustness against bad data is highlighted, with potential advantages in cyber security. The theory of big data based stability for on-line operations may prove feasible along with this line of work, although this critical development will be reported elsewhere.

MOND and Methodology

description: In Logik der Forschung and later works, Karl Popper proposed a set of methodological rules for scientists. Among these were requirements that theories evolve in the direction of increasing content, and that new theories should only be accepted if some of their novel predictions are experimentally confirmed. There are currently two, viable theories of cosmology: the standard cosmological model, and a theory due to Mordehai Milgrom called MOND. Both theories can point to successes and failures, but only MOND has repeatedly made novel predictions that were subsequently found to be correct. Standard-model cosmologists, by contrast, have almost always responded to new observations in a post-hoc manner, adjusting or augmenting their theory as needed to obtain correspondence with the facts. I argue that these methodological differences render a comparison of the two theories in terms of their "truthlikeness" or "verisimilitude" essentially impossible since the two groups of scientists achieve correspondence with the facts in often very different ways, and I suggest that a better guide to the theories' progress toward truth might be the methodologies themselves.

Load Disaggregation Based on Aided Linear Integer Programming

description: Load disaggregation based on aided linear integer programming (ALIP) is proposed. We start with a conventional linear integer programming (IP) based disaggregation and enhance it in several ways. The enhancements include additional constraints, correction based on a state diagram, median filtering, and linear programming-based refinement. With the aid of these enhancements, the performance of IP-based disaggregation is significantly improved. The proposed ALIP system relies only on the instantaneous load samples instead of waveform signatures, and hence does not crucially depend on high sampling frequency. Experimental results show that the proposed ALIP system performs better than the conventional IP-based load disaggregation system.

On the validity of the spectroscopic age indicators [Y/Mg], [Y/Al], [Y/Si], [Y/Ca], and [Y/Ti] for giant stars

description: The abundance ratios [Y$/$Mg], [Y$/$Al], [Y$/$Si], [Y$/$Ca], and [Y$/$Ti] have been suggested as chemical clocks for solar-metallicity dwarf stars in the field as well as for giant stars in open clusters. To verify this last hypothesis, we derive these abundances ratios of 50 giant stars belonging to seven open clusters. To calculate the abundances, we analyze FEROS spectra assuming the LTE-hypothesis. We confirm that [Y$/$Mg], [Y$/$Al], [Y$/$Si], [Y$/$Ca], and [Y$/$Ti] work as chemical clocks for field dwarf stars at the local region (d $<$ 1 kpc) whereas for the field giants the [Y$/$Mg], [Y$/$Al] and [Y$/$Si] also present trends with the ages but high scattering. [Y$/$Ca] and [Y$/$Ti] do not present any correlation with ages in the field giants. In Our open clusters, the behaviour is similar, [Y$/$Mg], [Y$/$Al] and [Y$/$Si] present evident trends, whereas [Y$/$Ca] vs. Ages is a flat and [Y$/$Ti] vs. Ages is less steep. We also confirm that the chemical clocks have high scatter at the early ages. In the case of the compiled sample, the chemical clocks are similar to our results but in some situations there are important differences. Several relations between abundance ratios and ages may be obtained when dwarfs and giants are analyzed, confirming the non-universality of the spectroscopic age indicators.

750 GeV Composite Axion as the LHC Diphoton Resonance

description: We propose that the 750 GeV resonance, presumably observed in the early LHC Run 2 data, could be a heavy composite axion that results from condensation of a hypothetical quark in a high-colour representation of conventional QCD. The model, motivated by a recently proposed solution to the strong CP problem, is very economical and is essentially defined by the properties of the additional quark - its colour charge, hypercharge and mass. The axion mass and its coupling to two photons (via axial anomaly) can be computed in terms of these parameters. The axion is predominantly produced via photon fusion ($γγ\to {\cal A}$) which is followed by $ Z $ vector boson fusion and associated production at the LHC. We find that the total diphoton cross section of the axion can be fitted with the observed excess. Combining the requirement on the cross-section, such that it reproduces the diphoton excess events, with the bounds on the total width ($Γ_{tot} \leqslant 45$ GeV), we obtain the effective coupling in the range $1.6\times 10^{-4}$ GeV$^{-1}\gtrsim C_{\cal A} \gtrsim 6.5\times 10^{-5}$ GeV$^{-1}$. Within this window of allowed couplings the model favours a narrow width resonance and $ y_{Q}^2 \sim \mathcal{O}(10)$. In addition, we observe that the associated production $q\bar{q} \to {\cal A}γ\to γγγ$ can potentially produce a sizeable number of three photon events at future LHC and $ e^{+} e^{-} $ colliders. However, the rare decay $Z\to\mathcal{A}^*γ\to γγγ$ is found to be too small to be probed at the LHC.

description: In the framework of Thomas-Fermi approximation, we study systematically the EOSs and microscopic structures of neutron star matter in a vast density range with $n_\mathrm{b}\approx 10^{-10}$-2 $\mathrm{fm}^{-3}$, where various covariant density functionals are adopted, i.e., those with nonlinear self couplings (NL3, PK1, TM1, GM1, MTVTC) and density-dependent couplings (DD-LZ1, DDME-X, PKDD, DD-ME2, DD2, TW99). It is found that the EOSs generally coincide with each other at $n_\mathrm{b}\lesssim 10^{-4}$ fm${}^{-3}$ and 0.1 fm${}^{-3}\lesssim n_\mathrm{b} \lesssim 0.3$ fm${}^{-3}$, while in other density regions they are sensitive to the effective interactions between nucleons. By adopting functionals with larger slope of symmetry energy $L$, the curvature parameter $K_\mathrm{sym}$ and neutron drip density generally increase, while the droplet size, proton number of nucleus, core-crust transition density, and onset density of non-spherical nuclei decrease. All functionals predict neutron stars with maximum masses exceeding the two-solar-mass limit, while those of DD2, DD-LZ1, DD-ME2, and DDME-X predict optimum neutron star radii according to the observational constraints. Nevertheless, the corresponding skewness coefficients $J$ are much lager than expected, while only the functionals MTVTC and TW99 meet the start-of-art constraints on $J$. More accurate measurements on the radius of PSR J0740+6620 and the maximum mass of neutron stars are thus essential to identify the functional that satisfies all constraints from nuclear physics and astrophysical observations. Approximate linear correlations between neutron stars' radii at $M=1.4 M_{\odot}$ and $2 M_{\odot}$, the slope $L$ and curvature parameter $K_\mathrm{sym}$ of symmetry energy are observed as well, which is mainly attributed to the curvature-slope correlations in the functionals adopted here.

description: Syrische Autoren des vierten bis sechsten Jahrhunderts interpretierten die biblische Geschichte von Josef (Gen 37-50) als Präfiguration des Lebens Jesu und legten Josef entsprechend als Typus für Jesus aus. Während der Entstehungszeit des Korans waren in Arabien mündliche syrische Überlieferungen der Josefsgeschichte im Umlauf. Eine genaue Lektüre der koranischen Josefs-Geschichte (Q 12) im Lichte der syrischen Tradition zeigt, dass der Koran mit den syrischen literarischen Traditionen über Josef vertraut war, insbesondere mit denen, die Josef als Typus für Jesus auslegen. Zugleich gestaltet der Koran diese Stellen, indem er einige Teile der Geschichte auslässt und andere hinzufügt. Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht die koranische Josefsgeschichte und die Gestaltung dieser anhand der syrischen literarischen Traditionen über Josef und argumentiert dafür, dass zum einen die Auslassungen syrischer literarischer Traditionen im Koran eine Reaktion auf die Josef-Jesus-Typologie sind und zum anderen, dass die Hinzufügungen zu den syrischen literarischen Traditionen über Josef erfolgten, um die Mission Mohammeds in Mekka zu unterstützen und als Ausdruck seines Verständnisses von seiner Christologie zu verstehen sind. Letztlich zeigt diese Dissertation auf, dass Prophetologie, Typologie und Christologie nicht nur in der syrischen Tradition eng miteinander verbunden sind, sondern auch im Koran.
description: Syriac authors of the fourth to sixth century interpreted the biblical story of Joseph (Gen 37-50) as prefiguring the life of Jesus, and they therefore construed Joseph as the type of Jesus. By the time of the emergence of the Quran, Syriac literary traditions about Joseph were circulating orally in Arabic throughout Arabia. A close reading of the quranic Joseph story (Q 12) in light of the Syriac tradition shows not only that the Quran is familiar with Syriac literary traditions about Joseph, including those that construe him as the type of Jesus, but also that it participates in them, omitting some and adding others in its own story. This dissertation explores the quranic Joseph storys participation in Syriac literary traditions about Joseph, and it argues first that the Qurans omissions of Syriac literary traditions have to do with its reaction to the Joseph Jesus typology, and second that its additions of Syriac literary traditions about Joseph in its own story are used, among other things, in support of Muhammads mission in Mecca and as an expression of its christology. This dissertation, when all is said and done, shows that Prophetology, Typology and Christology are closely connected not only in the Syriac tradition but also in the Quran.

description: We discuss the properties of atom-photon bound states in waveguide QED systems consisting of single or multiple atoms coupled strongly to a finite-bandwidth photonic channel. Such bound states are formed by an atom and a localized photonic excitation and represent the continuum analog of the familiar dressed states in single-mode cavity QED. Here we present a detailed analysis of the linear and nonlinear spectral features associated with single- and multi-photon dressed states and show how the formation of bound states affects the waveguide-mediated dipole-dipole interactions between separated atoms. Our results provide a both qualitative and quantitative description of the essential strong-coupling processes in waveguide QED systems, which are currently being developed in the optical and the microwave regime.

description: We consider a two-dimensional system initialized in a topologically trivial state before its Hamiltonian is ramped through a phase transition into a Chern insulator regime. This scenario is motivated by current experiments with ultracold atomic gases aimed at realizing time-dependent dynamics in topological insulators. Our main findings are twofold. First, considering coherent dynamics, the non-equilibrium Hall response is found to approach a topologically quantized time averaged value in the limit of slow but non-adiabatic parameter ramps, even though the Chern number of the state remains trivial. Second, adding dephasing, the destruction of quantum coherence is found to stabilize this Hall response, while the Chern number generically becomes undefined. We provide a geometric picture of this phenomenology in terms of the time-dependent Berry curvature.

The Measurement of Air Volume Flow Rate in Rectangular Ducts Using Vane Anemometers
Creators: name: Legg, Roger Colby
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1972

description: The problems associated with the accurate measurement of air volume flow rates in ducts were investigated. Measurements of air velocity were made in two sizes of rectangular duct using three sizes of vane anemometer. The ducts were traversed at various distances downstream of a number of inlet duct arrangements. It was shown that the flow rate could be measured with a good level of accuracy in the situations tested, if the anemometer traverse was positioned between 0.4 and 1.0 equivalent duct diameters from the face of the test piece, using a correction factor which was close to unity. Alternatively, if a traverse was made at the face of a test piece, the flow rate could be obtained with the use of a correction factor which varied from 0.57 to 0.90 depending on the test piece and anemometer size. It was also demonstrated that, once calibrated, a single anemometer in a fixed position could be used to measure the flow rate. It was required to measure the flow rates continuously in one of the Faculty's air-conditioning plants. A set of ducts with air flow measuring stations was constructed for this plant and calibrated using the technique developed. Tests were made using two fixed position anemometers in each measuring station and the accuracy of the measurement of the total flow rate was estimated as +/- 5.0% using one second pulse counts. The study indicated that provided certain precautions are taken, the length of duct required for measuring flow rates can be between one and two equivalent diameters. This fact could be of great benefit to ventilation engineers concerned with the accurate measurement of air flow when a limited amount of space is available.

description: We discuss magnetically ordered ("superfluid") phase near quantum transition to Bose-glass phase in a simple modeling system, Heisenberg antiferromagnet in spatial dimension $d>2$ in external magnetic field with disorder in exchange coupling constants. Our analytical consideration is based on hydrodynamic description of long-wavelength excitations. Results obtained are valid in the entire critical region near the quantum critical point (QCP) allowing to describe a possible crossover from one critical behavior to another. We demonstrate that the system behaves in full agreement with predictions by Fisher et al.\ (Phys.\ Rev.\ B {\bf 40}, 546 (1989)) in close vicinity of QCP. We find as an extension to that analysis that the anomalous dimension $η=2-d$ and $β=νd/2$, where $β$ and $ν$ are critical exponents of the order parameter and the correlation length, respectively. The density of states per spin of low-energy localized excitations are found to be independent of $d$ ("superuniversal"). We show that many recent experimental and numerical results obtained in various 3D systems can be described by our formulas using percolation critical exponents. Then, it is a possibility that a percolation critical regime arises in the ordered phase in some 3D systems not very close to QCP.

description: Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) provides the finest angular resolution of all astronomical observation techniques. However, observations with Earth-based instruments are approaching fundamental limits on angular resolution. These can only be overcome by placing at least one interferometric element in space. In this paper, several concepts of spaceborne VLBI systems are discussed, including TeraHertz Exploration and Zooming-in for Astrophysics (THEZA) and the Black Hole Explorer (BHEX). Spaceborne VLBI telescopes have some of the most demanding requirements of any space science mission. The VLBI system as a whole includes globally distributed elements, each with their own functional constraints, limiting when observations can be performed. This necessitates optimisation of the system parameters in order to maximise the scientific return of the mission. Presented is an investigation into how the impact of the functional constraints of a spaceborne VLBI telescope affect the overall system performance. A preliminary analysis of how these constraints can be minimised through optimisation of the spacecraft configuration and operation is also provided. A space-based VLBI simulation tool (spacevlbi) has been developed to model such missions and its capabilities are demonstrated throughout the paper. It is imperative that the functional constraints are considered early in the design of the future space-based VLBI systems in order to generate feasible mission concepts and to identify the key technology developments required to mitigate these limitations.

description: Diffusiophoresis, a ubiquitous phenomenon that induces particle transport whenever solute concentration gradients are present, was recently observed in the context of microsystems and shown to strongly impact colloidal transport (patterning and mixing) at such scales. In the present work, we show experimentally that this nanoscale mechanism can induce changes in the macroscale mixing of colloids by chaotic advection. Rather than the decay of the standard deviation of concentration, which is a global parameter commonly employed in studies of mixing, we instead use multiscale tools adapted from studies of chaotic flows or intermittent turbulent mixing: concentration spectra and second and fourth moments of the probability density functions of scalar gradients. Not only can these tools be used in open flows, but they also allow for scale-by-scale analysis. Strikingly, diffusiophoresis is shown to affect all scales, although more particularly the small ones, resulting in a change of scalar intermittency and in an unusual scale bridging spanning more than seven orders of magnitude. By quantifying the averaged impact of diffusiophoresis on the macroscale mixing, we explain why the effects observed are consistent with the introduction of an effective Péclet number.

description: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are radio bursts characterized by millisecond durations, high Galactic latitude positions, and high dispersion measures. Very recently, the cosmological origin of FRB 150418 has been confirmed by \cite{kea16}, and FRBs are now strong competitors as cosmological probes. The simple sharp feature of the FRB signal is ideal for them to probe some of the fundamental laws of physics. Here we show that by analyzing the delay time between different frequencies, the FRB data can place stringent upper limits on the rest mass of the photon. For FRB 150418 at $z=0.492$, one can potentially reach $m_γ \leq 5.2 \times 10^{-47}$ g, which is $10^{20}$ times smaller than the rest mass of electron, and is about $10^3$ times smaller than that obtained using other astrophysical sources with the same method.

description: A hypothetic Hidden Sector of the Universe, consisting of sterile fermions ("sterinos") and sterile mediating bosons ("sterons") of mass dimension 1 (not 2!) - the last described by an antisymmetric tensor field - requires to exist also a scalar isovector and scalar isoscalar in order to be able to construct electroweak invariant coupling (before spontaneously breaking its symmetry).

description: Optical resonators are structures that utilize wave interference and feedback to confine light in all three dimensions. Depending on the feedback mechanism, resonators can support either standing- or traveling-wave modes. Over the years, the distinction between these two different types of modes has become so prevalent that nowadays it is one of the main characteristics for classifying optical resonators. Here, we show that an intermediate link between these two rather different groups exists. In particular, we introduce a new class of photonic resonators that supports a hybrid optical mode, i.e. at one location along the resonator the electromagnetic fields associated with the mode feature a purely standing-wave pattern, while at a different location, the fields of the same mode represent a pure traveling wave. The proposed concept is general and can be implemented using chip-scale photonics as well as free-space optics. Moreover, it can be extended to other wave phenomena such as microwaves and acoustics.

Doubly cvharged vector leptons and the Higgs portal

description: Using a bottom up phenomenological approach we constructed a simple doubly charged vector lepton $E^{\pm\pm}$ model for the possible 750 GeV diphoton resonance $Φ$ at the LHC assuming it to be a scalar particle. Since no stable doubly charged leptons are seen, to facilitate their decays we complete the model by adding a charged SM electroweak scalar $S^\pm$. $Φ$ is a SM singlet and can be either an inert scalar or a Higgs field. In the inert case more than one vector lepton are required to account for the photon fusion production of the resonance if the model is to remain perturbative. For a Higgssed case $S^\pm$ can assist the production mechanism without using more than one such lepton. We also found that precision measurements constrain the couplings of $E^{\pm\pm}$ and $S^\pm$ to SM particles to be small. This raises the possibility that they can be fairly long lived and can give rise to displaced vertices if produced at the LHC.

description: Dynamical behaviour of discrete dynamical systems has been investigated extensively in the past few decades. However, in several applications, long term memory plays an important role in the evolution of dynamical variables. The definition of discrete maps has recently been extended to fractional maps to model such situations. We extend this definition to a spatiotemporal system. We define a coupled map lattice on different topologies, namely, one-dimensional coupled map lattice, globally coupled system and small-world network. The spatiotemporal patterns in the fractional system are more ordered. In particular, synchronization is observed over a large parameter region. For integer order coupled map lattice in one dimension, synchronized periodic states with a period greater than one are not obtained. However, we observe synchronized periodic states with period-3 or period-6 in one dimensional coupled fractional maps even for a large lattice. With nonlocal coupling, the synchronization is reached over a larger parameter regime. In all these cases, the standard deviation decays as power-law in time with the power same as fractional-order. The physical significance of such studies is also discussed.

description: We consider operators of the type $D^α:H^2(\mathcal{H})\to H^2(\mathcal{H})$, where $D^α$ denotes a fractional differentiation operator, and $Γ_ϕ$ is a Hankel operator. For $α>0$, we characterize boundedness in terms of a natural anti-analytic Carleson embedding condition. We obtain three notable corollaries. The first is that our main result does not extend to $α=0$, i.e. Nehari-Page BMOA is not characterized by the natural anti-analytic Carleson embedding condition. The second is that when we add an adjoint embedding condition, we obtain a sufficient but not necessary condition for boundedness of $Γ_ϕ$. The third is that there exists a bounded analytic function for which the associated anti-analytic Carleson embedding is unbounded. As a consequence, boundedness of an analytic Carleson embedding does not imply that the anti-analytic ditto is bounded. This answers a question by Nazarov, Pisier, Treil, and Volberg.

description: The Quality of Life (QOL) of the subjects was assessed using the 'Twenty-point Quality of life assessment in facial trauma patients in Indian population' assessment tool. This tool contains 20 questions and uses a five-point Likert response scale. The Twenty – point quality of life assessment tool included two zones: Zone 1 (Psychosocial impact) and Zone 2 (Functional and esthetic impact), with ten questions (domains) each (Table 2). The scores for each question ranged from 1- 5, the higher score denoting better Quality of life. Accordingly, the score in each zone for a patient ranged from 10 -50, and the total scores of both zones were recorded to determine the QOL. The sum of both zones determined the prognosis following surgery
The Distribution of Temperature within an Air Conditioned Room
Creators: name: Hardy, David J
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1972

description: It was shown that the performance of an air-conditioned room can be represented by two mathematical models. These describe the performance of: (a) the air conditioning plant (b) the room, The models were independent, except for the supply and extract air temperatures which are easily predictable. Some of the plant components were analysed in detail and fitted into the model. Further work is required to completely analyse the performance of all the plant components in order to evaluate: (1) thermal efficiency of the system. (2) running cost per annum, (3) transfer functions of the plant components, (4) the effect of a parameter change,- (5) the optimal parameters for the system, to facilitate the design of similar plants, The room air and temperature distribution was measured, Some progress was made in fitting the distribution into the room model, Much more work is required to relate the temperature to the air movement so as to describe: (1) air flow pattern in the Lecture Theatre, (2) the effect of changing the supply air distribution. (3) distribution of comfort regions in the Lecture Theatre, (2) the effect of daily and seasonal load variations on comfort regions.
On a possibility of a consistent interpretation of diboson excesses at LHC

description: Recently reported diboson and diphoton excesses at LHC are interpreted to be connected with heavy $WW$ zero spin resonances. The resonances appears due to the wouldbe anomalous triple interaction of the weak bosons, which is defined by well-known coupling constant $λ$. The $2\, TeV$ anomaly tentatively corresponds to weak isotopic spin 2 scalar state and the $γγ\,\,750\, GeV$ anomaly corresponds to weak isotopic spin 0 pseudoscalar state. We obtain estimates for the effect, which qualitatively agree with ATLAS data. Effects are predicted in a production of $W^+ W^-, (Z,γ) (Z,γ)$ via resonance $X_{PS}$ with $M_{PS} \simeq 750\,GeV$, which could be reliably checked at the upgraded LHC at $\sqrt{s}\,=\,13\, TeV$. In the framework of an approach to the spontaneous generation of the triple anomalous interaction its coupling constant is estimated to be $λ= -\,0.02\pm 0.005$ in an agreement with existing restrictions. Specific predictions of the hypothesis are significant effects in decay channels $X_{PS} \to γ\,l^+\,l^-\,, X_{PS} \to l^+\,l^-\,\,l^+\,l^-\,(l = e,\,μ)$.
