description: A parameterization of the nucleon-nucleon elastic scattering amplitude is needed for future experiments with nucleon and nuclear beams in the beam momentum range of 2 -- 50 GeV/c/nucleon. There are many parameterizations of the amplitude at $P_{lab} >$ 25--50 GeV/c, and at $P_{lab} \leq$ 5 GeV/c. Our paper is aimed to cover the range between 5 -- 50 GeV/c. The amplitude is used in Glauber calculations of various cross sections and Monte Carlo simulations of nucleon-nucleon scatterings. Usually, the differential nucleon-nucleon elastic scattering cross sections are described by an exponential expression. Corresponding experimental data on $pp$ interactions at $|t|>$ 0.005 (GeV/c)$^2$ and $|t|\leq$ 0.125 (GeV/c)$^2$ have been fit. We propose formulae to approximate the beam momentum dependence of these parameters in the momentum range considered. The same was done for $np$ interactions at $|t|\leq$ 0.5 (GeV/c)$^2$. Expressions for the momentum dependence of the total and elastic cross sections, and the ratio of real to imaginary parts of the amplitude at zero momentum transfer are also given for $pp$ and $np$ collisions. These results are sufficient for a first approximation of the Glauber calculations. For more exact calculations we fit the data at $|t|>$ 0.005 (GeV/c)$^2$ without restrictions on the maximum value of $|t|$ using an expression based on two coherent exponential. The parameters of the fits are found for the beam momentum range 2 -- 50 GeV/c.

description: Recurrent neural networks have shown excellent performance in many applications, however they require increased complexity in hardware or software based implementations. The hardware complexity can be much lowered by minimizing the word-length of weights and signals. This work analyzes the fixed-point performance of recurrent neural networks using a retrain based quantization method. The quantization sensitivity of each layer in RNNs is studied, and the overall fixed-point optimization results minimizing the capacity of weights while not sacrificing the performance are presented. A language model and a phoneme recognition examples are used.

A cause de leur coût élevé, leur tuyaux à base de plastique thermodurcissable renforcé ne constituent qu'un faible pourcentage de tous les tuyaux de plastique utilisés. Ces tuyaux sont utilisés dans des applications qui exigent une bonne résistance mécanique ou une bonne stabilité à des températures élevées. Ce Digeste décrit la nature des matériaux à base de plastique thermodurcissable renforcé en regard de leur composition, leur fabrication, leurs propriétés et leurs applications et traite en détail de deux types importants de tuyaux: ceux de polyester renforcé de fibre de verre (GRP) et ceux de résine expoxyde renforcée de fibre de verre (GRE).

description: Large scale (6000 cm2) dye solar cell (DSC) modules were developed using the meander and integrated
series connection design in combination with the glass frit sealing technique [1]. The manufacturing process, as
developed at Fraunhofer ISE for glass frit-sealed DSC modules, is based entirely on screen printing and does not require
the interconnection of sub-modules. With the same technique and appropriate quality control, a good reproducibility on
smaller scaled modules (10 x 10 cm²) is already achieved and a solar efficiency of 7.1% on the active area has been
reached, resulting in 5.3% efficiency on total aperture area. The scope of the recent work is to prove that the
manufacturing concept is up-scalable to attractive areas for the BIPV market. To reach the size of 60 x 100 cm² it was
necessary to transfer each process step into an industrial environment. Additionally a half-automated station for coloring
and electrolyte-filling made out of standard parts was constructed which forms the basis for the final processing steps.
Additional functions (processes and quality control) to ensure the long-term stability are integrated into the station. First
operating module prototypes have been manufactured with this equipment. Different processing steps and the electrical
characterization of these first 60 x 100 cm2 prototypes are presented along with an overview of the advantages of this
module concept in terms of cost effective up-scaling and transfer to industrial production.

description: We study the ADHM construction of (anti-)self-dual instantons in eight dimensions. We propose the general scheme to construct the (anti-)self-dual gauge field configurations $F \wedge F = \pm *_8 F \wedge F$ whose finite topological charges are given by the fourth Chern number. We show that our construction reproduces the known $\text{SO}(8)$ one-instanton solution. We also construct multi-instanton solutions of 't Hooft and Jackiw-Nohl-Rebbi (JNR) types in the dilute instanton gas approximation. The well-separated configurations of multi-instantons reproduce the correct topological charges with high accuracy. We also show that our construction is generalized to (anti-)self-dual instantons in $4n \ (n=3,4, \ldots)$ dimensions.

description: An exact, plane wave solution of the gravitational field equations is investigated. The source stress tensor is represented by an anisotropic null fluid with energy flux to which the energy density $ρ$ and all pressures are finite throughout the spacetime. They depend on a constant length (taken of the order of the Planck length) and acquire Planck values close to the null surface $t - z = 0$, the $z$-axis being the direction of propagation. The timelike geodesics of a test particle are contained in a plane whose normal has constant direction and the null trajectories are comoving with a plane of fixed direction.

description: Irradiation of 2MeV electron was performed on GaAsN layers that were grown on (311)A/B GaAs
substrates by using a chemical beam epitaxy system. The irradiation has neglectable impacts on the N composition in
GaAsN over the applied fluencies (1×1014 to 3×1016cm2). Continuous wave (CW) photoluminescence measurement
at low temperature revealed an increasing integrated intensity ratio of band edge (BE) emission and deep level (DL)
emission at low electron fluences, which mainly results from the obvious reduction of DL emission and the slightly
enhanced BE emission. Further increasing the irradiation fluence leads to a sound reduction in both BE and DL
emission, due to the abundant generation of nonradiative recombination centers. The carrier lifetime was deduced
from the temporal responses of the room-temperature PL emission. GaAsN epilayer with (311)B orientation is
characterized by a long carrier lifetime and a relatively low lifetime damage coefficient.

description: The quality of PMT signal is one of the key items for a large and high precision neutrino experiment, like Daya Bay, JUNO, while most of the experiments are affected by the PMT signal overshoot from its positive HV-single cable scheme. For JUNO prototype detector, we have a detailed study on the PMT overshoot and successfully reduced the ratio of overshoot amplitude to signal to ~1% from previous typical ~10%, with no affection to PMT other parameters. Furthermore, we calculated that the overshoot is a result of discharging of capacitors in the HV-signal splitter and the PMT voltage divider. The study result is extremely important for JUNO and other similar experiments.

description: The reliability of solar cells is constantly tested under an average 25 years of service exposed to heat and
humidity environmental conditions that change with time. This study presents the results of an improved Mo-Al based
alloy designed for the metal back contact in CIGS photovoltaic cells that remains stable under heat and humidity
conditions when compared with a pure Mo metal contact. Mo-Al films 600Å thick with different Al content were
deposited on glass substrates by sputtering composite targets and exposed for 400+ hrs to 85°C/85% damp heat
conditions. The resistivity and reflectance of Mo-Al films were measured after exposure and compared with pure Mo,
showing that the resistivity in Mo-Al films did not change, and the reflectance remained stable, while considerable
degradation is observed in pure Mo films. The improved resistance is possibly due to the formation of superficial
aluminum oxide layer that provides enhanced corrosion resistance. Based on these results a Mo-Al contact with the
composition Mo-2-4 wt% Al is a candidate for a more stable and reliable metal back contact than pure Mo metal.

description: Majorana bound states (MBS) differ from the regular zero energy Andreev bound states in their nonlocal properties, since two MBS form a single fermion. We design strategies for detection of this nonlocality by using the phenomenon of Coulomb-mediated Majorana coupling in a simplest setting which still retains falsifiability. Focusing on the implementation of MBS based on the quantum spin Hall effect, we also design a way to probe Majoranas without the need to open a magnetic gap in the helical edge states. In the setup that we analyse, long range MBS coupling manifests in the $h/e$ magnetic flux periodicity of tunneling conductance and supercurrent. While $h/e$ is also the periodicity of Aharonov-Bohm effect and persistent current, we show how to ensure its Majorana origin by verifying that switching off the charging energy restores $h/2e$ periodicity conventional for superconducting systems.

description: Zosterops lateralis macmillani Mayr Zosterops lateralis macmillani Mayr, 1937: 2 (Tanna, New Hebrides). Now Zosterops lateralis macmillani Mayr, 1937. See Mees, 1969: 97–100, Bregulla, 1992: 252, Dickinson, 2003: 629, and van Balen, 2008: 467– 468. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 330518, adult male, collected at Whitesands (5 White Sands, as on label), ca. 19.31S, 169.26E, eastern Tanna Island, Vanuatu (5 New Hebrides), on 11 October 1935, by Lindsay Macmillan (no. 20), on the Whitney South Sea Expedition. COMMENTS: Mayr gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and measurements for seven male and seven female specimens. Only specimens from Macmillan’s 1935 collection were available when Mayr published macmillani, and there were, in fact, 16 specimens. The 15 paratypes are: males, AMNH 336870–336875, Tanna; AMNH 336876, 336877, Aniwa; females, AMNH 336880–336884, Tanna; AMNH 336885, 336886, Aniwa. Whitesands was the British administrative headquarters during the period of the New Hebrides Condominium. Mees (1969: 97–100) synonymized macmillani with vatensis but restricted the range of vatensis to the southern islands of Vanuatu and this was apparently followed by van Balen (2008: 467); Bregulla (1992: 252) listed the Tanna and Aniwa birds under Z. l. tropicus and omitted macmillani without comment. Dickinson (2003: 629) continued to recognize macmillani, and I agree with him. A check of the specimens in AMNH shows that the characters given by Mayr for macmillani are valid and, in addition, that the tarsus may be longer, heavier, and lighter in color.

title: Exploring mutual care between people with intellectual disabilities and their family carers in Scotland
Creators: name: Thompson, Gillian
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2020

description: Background: A significant number of adults with an intellectual disability (ID) live with a family member who often cares for them. ‘Mutual care’ has been defined as both the family carer and person with intellectual disabilities (ID) caring and supporting each other, and includes an element of practical and tangible support as well as potential emotional support. In situations where mutual care is occurring, both the person with the ID and the family carer have taken on a caring and supportive role, and are often interdependent on each other. However there is little research on mutual care in this population, or on the perspectives of health and social care professionals working with this population.
Focus of Project: This project explored the experiences of adults with an ID and family carers in relation to mutual care. This included the language used to describe mutual care, types of care adults with ID provided to their family carer, and how their mutual care developed. It also explored supports used, and barriers to getting support. This thesis analyses a subset of the data.
Method: Semi-structured interviews were used to explore the experiences of three adults with ID and three family carers. Interviews were recorded and transcribed. The data were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA).
Results: For adults with ID, two master themes emerged; ‘Experiences of living with my ageing family carer’, and ‘Supports & Challenges’. Subordinate themes included; ‘Changes in my role’, ‘Changes in my parent’s abilities and health’, and ‘Barriers and difficulties’ - such as a lack of knowledge of available supports. For family carers, the two master themes that emerged were ‘Our roles living together over time’ and ‘Support, barriers and difficulties’. Subordinate themes included ‘Changes in our roles’, ‘Shared tasks’, and ‘An uncertain future’.
Discussion: Key findings are summarised, along with reflections from this project. Finally recommendations for clinical applications, and future directions for research are discussed.

description: The Epitaxy Wrap-Through (EpiWT) cell is a rear contact version of the Epitaxial Wafer-Equivalent
cell which is a crystalline silicon thin-film solar cell developed at Fraunhofer ISE. The EpiWT concept is similar to
an Emitter Wrap-Through cell except that all layers are wrapped through holes instead of only the emitter. The
attempt to grow silicon layers epitaxially through small via holes, that is three dimensionally, is a completely new
development. We now successfully developed a 3D epitaxy process which provides us with very well suited layers
for fabricating EpiWT cells. Besides this epitaxy-through-hole process, this paper focuses mainly on the
characterisation of the resultant EpiWT cell structure.

description: This review provides a detailed introduction to chiral gauge theories, renormalization theory, and the application of dimensional regularization with the non-anticommuting BMHV scheme for $γ_5$. One goal is to show how chiral gauge theories can be renormalized despite the spurious breaking of gauge invariance and how to obtain the required symmetry-restoring counterterms. A second goal is to familiarize the reader with the theoretical basis of the renormalization of chiral gauge theories, the theorems that guarantee the existence of renormalized chiral gauge theories at all orders as consistent quantum theories. Relevant topics include BPHZ renormalization, Slavnov-Taylor identities, the BRST formalism and algebraic renormalization, as well as the theorems guaranteeing that dimensional regularization is a consistent regularization/renormalization scheme. All of these, including their proofs and interconnections, are explained and discussed in detail. Further, these theoretical concepts are illustrated in practical applications with the example of an Abelian and a non-Abelian chiral gauge theory. Not only the renormalization procedure for such chiral gauge theories is explained step by step, but also the results of all counterterms, including the symmetry-restoring ones, necessary for the consistent renormalization are explicitly provided.

description: Stationary planar low concentration photovoltaics (LCPV) can potentially provide remarkable advantages
in terms of cost reduction compared with fixed standard modules because of the reduction in the active material usage.
However, the performances of state-of-the-art LCPV solutions are still too low to make them economically competitive
in the market. In this work, the competitiveness of LCPV systems using silicon cells is evaluated by means of a model
based on the Levelized Energy Cost (LEC). An effective efficiency parameter Pr,eff is introduced that quantifies the total
energy production loss of a concentrated panel compared to a fixed standard panel. Two examples of LCPV solutions are
presented and their optical performances are compared through an extensive numerical investigation. In the first case, a
dielectric slab with mirrored walls and with a bottom diffusive surface is considered. In the second case, we present a
modified design for a prism coupled compound parabola (MPCCP) that maximizes the annual energy production
compared to known solutions reported in the literature. A first prototype of the MPCCP solution has been fabricated that
confirms numerical simulations and demonstrates the viability of the MPCCP solution towards the realization of
stationary planar LCPV modules using silicon cells.

description: Using first-principle calculations, we demonstrate several approaches to manipulate Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction (DMI) in ultrathin magnetic films. First, we find that DMI is significantly enhanced when the ferromagnetic (FM) layer is sandwiched between nonmagnetic (NM) layers inducing additive DMI in NM/FM/NM structures. For instance, as Pt and Ir below Co induce DMI of opposite chirality, inserting Co between Pt (below) and Ir (above) in Ir/Co/Pt trilayers enhances the DMI of Co/Pt bilayers by 15\%. Furthermore, in case of Pb/Co/Pt trilayers (Ir/Fe/Co/Pt multilayers), DMI can be enhanced by 50\% (almost doubled) compared to Co/Pt bilayers reaching a very large DMI amplitude of 2.7 (3.2) meV/atom. Our second approach for enhancing DMI is to use oxide capping layer. We show that DMI is enhanced by 60\% in Oxide/Co/Pt structures compared to Co/Pt bilayers. Moreover, we unveiled the DMI mechanism at Oxide/Co inerface due to interfacial electric field effect, which is different to Fert-Levy DMI at FM/NM interfaces. Finally, we demonstrate that DMI amplitude can be modulated using an electric field with efficiency factor comparable to that of the electric field control of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in transition metal/oxide interfaces. These approaches of DMI controlling pave the way for skyrmions and domain wall motion-based spintronic applications.

description: Chemical vapour etching (CVE) with gaseous hydrochloride (HCl) at elevated temperatures offers the
possibility to achieve either plane or structured surfaces depending on the temperature and the fraction of HCl in the
carrier gas hydrogen. Therefore some process steps during the fabrication of a crystalline silicon thin film solar cell
might be displaced or added by HCl etching. The removal of saw damage is possible and leads to a fraction of
diffuse reflectance down to 18 % for the best actual process. In case of a solar cell based on the epitaxial waferequivalent
pores can be generated by etching of deep pits and subsequent epitaxial deposition of the active silicon
layer. Those pores can act as a reflector and lead to an increase of the optical path length of incoming light through
the active layer, however the number of generated pores still has to be increased. Additionally facets with shallow
gradients can be formed. A front side texturing consisting of a combination of different etching steps might be
possible in future.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 214054, adult male, collected on Espiritu Santo Island, 15.15S, 166.50E (USBGN, 1974), Vanuatu, on 1 September 1926, by Rollo H. Beck on the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 22507). COMMENTS: Mees gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and the range of tropica as ‘‘the northern New Hebrides: Malo, Espiritu Santo, Tongoa (off Espiritu Santo, not to be confused with Tongoa near Epi); Banks Group: Gaua, Melapav, Ureparapara or Blight (sic); Torres Group: Low Island, Toga. ’’ Specimens other than the holotype that Mees examined from those islands are paratypes of tropica. Mees visited AMNH when working on this part of his Zosteropidae monograph and would have seen all of the specimens in the AMNH collection. Paratypes in AMNH are: Malo, males, AMNH 213597, 213598; Espiritu Santo, males, AMNH 214050–214053, female, AMNH 214065, juvenile sex?, AMNH 215883; Gaua, male, AMNH 214056; Melapav, female, AMNH 214064; Bligh, male, AMNH 216128; Low, males, AMNH 216115– 216118, 216120, females, AMNH 216121, 216122, 216124, 216125; Toga, male, AMNH 216126, female, AMNH 216127. AMNH 216119 and AMNH 216123 had already been exchanged to NRM and CM, respectively, and would not have been seen at AMNH by Mees. AMNH 216116 had been exchanged to Rothschild and renumbered AMNH 459013 when that collection came to AMNH in 1932; it would have been part of Mees’ type series. Bregulla (1992: 252) listed Tanna and Aniwa birds as Z. l. tropicus without comment. The holotype of this taxon had not previously been included in the type collection at AMNH.

description: We consider cosmological dynamics of nonminimally coupled scalar field in the scalar-torsion gravity in the presence of a hydrodynamical matter. Potential of the scalar field have been chosen as power-law with negative index, this type of potentials is usually used in quintessence scenarios. We identify several asymptotic regimes, including de Sitter, kinetic dominance, kinetic tracker and tracker solution and study conditions for their existence and stability. We show that for each combination of coupling constant and potential power index one of regimes studied in the present paper is stable to the future.

description: We analyse the demographics of black holes (BHs) in the large-volume cosmological hydrodynamical simulation Horizon-AGN. This simulation statistically models how much gas is accreted onto BHs, traces the energy deposited into their environment and, consequently, the back-reaction of the ambient medium on BH growth. The synthetic BHs reproduce a variety of observational constraints such as the redshift evolution of the BH mass density and the mass function. Strong self-regulation via AGN feedback, weak supernova feedback, and unresolved internal processes result in a tight BH-galaxy mass correlation. Starting at z~2, tidal stripping creates a small population of BHs over-massive with respect to the halo. The fraction of galaxies hosting a central BH or an AGN increases with stellar mass. The AGN fraction agrees better with multi-wavelength studies, than single-wavelength ones, unless obscuration is taken into account. The most massive halos present BH multiplicity, with additional BHs gained by ongoing or past mergers. In some cases, both a central and an off-centre AGN shine concurrently, producing a dual AGN. This dual AGN population dwindles with decreasing redshift, as found in observations. Specific accretion rate and Eddington ratio distributions are in good agreement with observational estimates. The BH population is dominated in turn by fast, slow, and very slow accretors, with transitions occurring at z=3 and z=2 respectively.

description: Efforts have been ongoing to establish superconducting spintronics utilizing ferromagnet/superconductor heterostructures1. Previously reported devices are based on spin-singlet superconductors (SSCs), where the spin degree of freedom is lost. Spin-polarized supercurrent induction in ferromagnetic metals (FMs) is achieved even with SSCs, but only with the aid of interfacial complex magnetic structures, which severely affect information imprinted to the electron spin. Use of spin-triplet superconductors (TSCs) with active spins potentially overcomes this difficulty and further leads to novel functionalities. Here, we report spin-triplet superconductivity induction into a FM SrRuO3 from a leading TSC candidate Sr2RuO4, by fabricating microscopic devices using an epitaxial SrRuO3/Sr2RuO4 hybrid. The differential conductance, exhibiting Andreev-reflection features with multiple energy scales up to around half tesla, indicates the penetration of superconductivity over a considerable distance of 15 nm across the SrRuO3 layer without help of interfacial complex magnetism. This demonstrates the first FM/TSC device exhibiting the spin-triplet proximity effect.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 701415, adult female, collected on Mount Apo, 8000 ft, 06.59N, 125.16E (Dickinson et al., 1991: 415), Mindanao Island, Philippines, in April 1903, by Walter Goodfellow (no. 124A). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert gave the Goodfellow number ‘‘124A’’ of the holotype, but did not say how many specimens he examined. AMNH 701414, female, collected on Mount Apo in April 1903 is a paratype. Both of Goodfellow’s specimens were numbered ‘‘124,’’ but Hartert added the ‘‘A’’ to Goodfellow’s label on the type and to the Rothschld type label. Another specimen, AMNH 701416, was collected on Mount Apo in February 1905, after the publication of the name.

description: The optimization of the solar cell efficiency requires the reduction of inherent losses in the cell. In
order to achieve this goal spatially resolved access to parameters characterizing ohmic losses such as series and shunt
resistances is desirable. Two interpretation methods (by Hinken et. al. and Breitenstein et. al.) for
electroluminescence images taken at different voltages which are known for crystalline silicon solar cells are applied
to Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGSe) solar cells on flexible polyimide substrate. Both methods yield mappings of the series
resistance. The applicability of these methods to the CIGSe material system is discussed; additionally, the benefit of
such methods for the interpretation of solar cells under accelerated aging conditions (i.e. damp heat) is shown.
Grammage of cosmic rays around Galactic supernova remnants

description: The residence time of cosmic rays (CRs) in the Galaxy is usually inferred from the measurement of the ratio of secondary-to-primary nuclei, such as the boron (B)/carbon (C) ratio, which provides an estimate of the amount of matter traversed by CRs during their propagation, the so called CR grammage. However, after being released by their parent sources, for instance supernova remnants (SNRs), CRs must cross the disc of the Galaxy, before entering the much lower density halo, in which they are believed to spend most of the time before eventually escaping the Galaxy. In the near-source region, the CR propagation is shown to be dominated by the non-linear self-generation of waves. Here we show that due to this effect, the time that CRs with energies up to $\sim$ 10 TeV spend within a distance $L_{c}\sim 100$ pc from the sources is much larger than naive estimates would suggest. The corresponding grammage is close to current estimates of the total grammage traversed throughout the whole Galaxy. Moreover, there is an irreducible grammage that CRs traverse while trapped downstream of the shock that accelerated them, though this contribution is rather uncertain. We conclude that at energies $\lesssim 1$ TeV, the observed grammage is heavily affected by the near-source non-linear trapping of CRs, and at energies $\gtrsim 1$ TeV it is affected by the source grammage. As a result, the measurement of the B/C ratio should be used very cautiously as an indicator of the propagation of CRs on large Galactic scales.

description: We fix a monic polynomial $\bar f(x) \in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ over a finite field of characteristic $p$, and consider the $\mathbb{Z}_{p^{\ell}}$-Artin-Schreier-Witt tower defined by $\bar f(x)$; this is a tower of curves $\cdots \to C_m \to C_{m-1} \to \cdots \to C_0 =\mathbb{A}^1$, whose Galois group is canonically isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_{p^\ell}$, the degree $\ell$ unramified extension of $\mathbb{Z}_p$, which is abstractly isomorphic to $(\mathbb{Z}_p)^\ell$ as a topological group. We study the Newton slopes of zeta functions of this tower of curves. This reduces to the study of the Newton slopes of L-functions associated to characters of the Galois group of this tower. We prove that, when the conductor of the character is large enough, the Newton slopes of the L-function asymptotically form a finite union of arithmetic progressions. As a corollary, we prove the spectral halo property of the spectral variety associated to the $\mathbb{Z}_{p^{\ell}}$-Artin-Schreier-Witt tower. This extends the main result in [DWX] from rank one case $\ell=1$ to the higher rank case $\ell\geq 1$.
