description: Models are presented for CO rotational line emission by high redshift starburst galaxies. The influence of the cosmic microwave background on the thermal balance and the level populations of atomic and molecular species is explicitly included. Predictions are made for the observability of starburst galaxies through line and continuum emission between z=5 and z=30. It is found that the Millimeter Array could detect a starburst galaxy with ~10^5 Orion regions, corresponding to a star formation rate of about 30 Mo yr^{-1}, equally well at z=5 or z=30 due to the increasing cosmic microwave background temperature with redshift. Line emission is a potentially more powerful probe than dust continuum emission of very high redshift objects.

description: The present study investigates different strategies for the treatment of a mixture of digestate from an anaerobic digester diluted and secondary effluent from a high rate algal pond. To this aim, the performance of two photo-sequencing batch reactors (PSBRs) operated at high nutrients loading rates and different solids retention times (SRTs) were compared with a semi-continuous photobioreactor (SC). Performances were evaluated in terms of wastewater treatment, biomass composition and biopolymers accumulation during 30 days of operation. PSBRs were operated at a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 2 days and SRTs of 10 and 5 days (PSBR2-10 and PSBR2-5, respectively), whereas the semi-continuous reactor was operated at a coupled HRT/SRT of 10 days (SC10-10). Results showed that PSBR2-5 achieved the highest removal rates in terms of TN (6.7 mg L-1 d-1), TP (0.31 mg L-1 d-1), TOC (29.32 mg L-1 d-1) and TIC (3.91 mg L-1 d-1). These results were in general 3-6 times higher than the removal rates obtained in the SC10-10 (TN 29.74 mg L-1 d-1, TP 0.96 mg L-1 d-1, TOC 29.32 mg L-1 d-1 and TIC 3.91 mg L-1 d-1). Furthermore, both PSBRs were able to produce biomass up to 0.09 g L-1 d-1, more than twofold the biomass produced by the semi-continuous reactor (0.04 g L-1 d-1), and achieved a biomass settleability of 86-92%. This study also demonstrated that the microbial composition could be controlled by the nutrients loads, since the three reactors were dominated by different species depending on the nutritional conditions. Concerning biopolymers accumulation, carbohydrates concentration achieved similar values in the three reactors (11%), whereas <0.5 % of polyhydrohybutyrates (PHB) was produced. These low values in biopolymers production could be related to the lack of microorganisms as cyanobacteria that are able to accumulate carbohydrates/PHB.

description: We introduce a framework for the construction of completely positive maps for subsystems of indistinguishable fermionic particles. In this scenario, the initial global state is always correlated, and it is not possible to tell system and environment apart. Nonetheless, a reduced map in the operator sum representation is possible for some sets of states where the only non-classical correlation present is exchange.

description: The purpose of the roadmap proposed by IRGC is to recommend a structured process that organisations can follow in their transition towards the development of precision medicine. The process is adaptable, and each organisation should further develop it to align with its own needs, culture and objectives. The roadmap suggests a comprehensive approach to the development of precision medicine: it begins with the creation of a space for dialogue among stakeholders, it considers a step-wise implementation of precision medicine, it recommends a careful attention to the data issue, and it reminds that regulation and payment systems will have to be adapted.
MATHICSE Technical Report : Optimal explicit stabilized integrator of weak order one for stiff and ergodic stochastic differential equations
Creators: name: Abdulle, Assyr
name: Almuslimani, Ibrahim
name: Vilmart, Gilles
Publisher: name: Écublens, MATHICSE
Year: 2017

description: A new explicit stabilized scheme of weak order one for stiff and ergodic stochastic differential equations (SDEs) is introduced. In the absence of noise, the new method coincides with the classical deterministic stabilized scheme (or Chebyshev method) for diffusion dominated advection-diffusion problems and it inherits its optimal stability domain size that grow quadratically with the number of internal stages of the method. For mean-square stable stiff stochastic problems, the scheme has an optimal extended mean-square stability domain that grows at the same quadratic rate as the deterministic stability domain size in contrast to known existing methods for stiff SDEs [A. Abdulle and T. Li. Commun. Math. Sci., 6(4), 2008, A. Abdulle, G. Vilmart, and K. C. Zygalakis, SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 35(4), 2013]. Combined with postprocessing techniques, the new methods achieve a convergence rate of order two for sampling the invariant measure of a class of ergodic SDEs, achieving a stabilized version of the non-Markovian scheme introduced in [B. Leimkuhler, C. Matthews, and M. V. Tretyakov, Proc. R. Soc. A, 470, 2014].

description: We show that the Casimir, or zero-point, energy of a dilute dielectric ball, or of a spherical bubble in a dielectric medium, coincides with the sum of the van der Waals energies between the molecules that make up the medium. That energy, which is finite and repulsive when self-energy and surface effects are removed, may be unambiguously calculated by either dimensional continuation or by zeta function regularization. This physical interpretation of the Casimir energy seems unambiguous evidence that the bulk self-energy cannot be relevant to sonoluminescence.

Hermitian analyticity versus Real analyticity in two-dimensional factorised S-matrix theories
Creators: name: Miramontes, J. Luis
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The constraints implied by analyticity in two-dimensional factorised S-matrix theories are reviewed. Whenever the theory is not time-reversal invariant, it is argued that the familiar condition of `Real analyticity' for the S-matrix amplitudes has to be superseded by a different one known as `Hermitian analyticity'. Examples are provided of integrable quantum field theories whose (diagonal) two-particle S-matrix amplitudes are Hermitian analytic but not Real analytic. It is also shown that Hermitian analyticity is consistent with the bootstrap equations and that it ensures the equivalence between the notion of unitarity in the quantum group approach to factorised S-matrices and the genuine unitarity of the S-matrix.
description: 9 pages, LaTeX file. The comments about unitarity in affine Toda theories have been improved. The basis dependence of the Hermitian analyticity conditions is discussed

description: In the present paper we focus our attention on the design of the feedback-based feed-forward controller asymptotically stabilizing the double-pendulum-type crane system with the time-varying rope length in the desired end position of payload (the origin of the coordinate system). In principle, we will consider two cases, in the first case, the sway angle of payload is uncontrolled and the second case, when the sway angle of payload is controlled by an external force. Mathematical modelling in the framework of Lagrange formalism and numerical simulation in the Matlab environment indicate the substantial reduction of the transportation time to the desired end position. Another principal novelty of this paper lies in deriving and analysis of a complete mathematical model without approximating the nonlinear terms and without neglecting some structural parameters of systems for the reasons described in the Remark 4.2 and Remark 5.1.

Hydropower design under uncertainties
Creators: name: Oberrauch, Felix
Publisher: name: Lausanne, EPFL-LCH
Year: 2017

description: Hydropower plants are still the most important renewable energy resource worldwide. Hydropower is also the most efficient electricity production and has a very high flexibility in combination with reservoirs. Nevertheless, the construction of hydropower plants, especially in the case of large schemes, requires high investments with long payback periods. Thus, future uncertainties have to be considered in early design stages in order to obtain robust and flexible projects with high resilience. With his research, Dr. Felix Oberrauch made a significant contribution by showing how hydropower projects have to be designed with advanced methods which allow to take into account the future uncertainties. Very large hydropower project developments are often in the public focus associating them with significant cost overrun and bad performance. With the slogan “Small is beautiful” in the public awareness often preference is given to the development of small hydropower. Dr. Oberrauch analyzed for the first time in a systematic way with a coherent sample of realized projects the uncertainties of small and large hydropower projects in Switzerland regarding cost overrun and production overestimation. He could show that small hydropower projects, on average, can have similar range of cost overrun as large projects. However, the probability that small projects exceed the estimated costs is smaller than for large projects. Nevertheless, the sample analysis revealed that small hydropower projects have a tendency to more extreme cost overruns than large facilities. Based on the Swiss hydropower dataset Dr. Oberrauch showed how the uncertainties of construction cost and energy production forecasts can be implemented in the economical evaluation of a project. As novel contribution for the engineering practice Dr. Oberrauch presented a new framework which allows a straightforward selection of the design objective and the required design method in order to consider uncertainties in early design stages of hydropower projects. He showed how the methods of Robust Decision Making, Info-Gap Decision Theory and Flexible Design have to be formulated and applied to a real hydropower project. Dr. Oberrauch discusses in detail the value and the limitations of each approach and gives final recommendations for their application.
The galaxy luminosity function in clusters and the field

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present the results from a CCD survey of the B-band luminosity functions of 9 nine clusters of galaxies, and compare them with published photographic luminosity functions of nearby poor clusters like Virgo and Fornax and also to the field luminosity function. We derive a composite luminosity function by taking the weighted mean of all the individual cluster luminosity functions; this composite luminosity function is steep at bright and faint magnitudes and is shallow in-between. All clusters have luminosity functions consistent with this single composite function. This is true both for rich clusters like Coma and for poor clusters like Virgo. This same composite function is also individually consistent with the deep field luminosity functions of Cowie et al. (1996) and Ellis et al. (1996), and also with the faint-end of the Las Campanas Redshift Survey R-band luminosity function, shifted by 1.5 magnitudes. A comparison with the Loveday et al. (1992) field luminosity function which is well-determined at the bright-end, shows that the composite function that fits the field data well fainter than $M_B = -19$ drops too steeply between $M_B = -19$ and $M_B = -22$ to fit the field data there well.

description: Η εκρηκτική αύξηση της χρήσης του διαδικτύου και οι δυνατότητες των εφαρμογών του web 2.0, δηλαδή της νέας γενιάς του διαδικτύου, έχουν μειώσει τις φυσικές αποστάσεις και ταυτόχρονα έχουν αλλάξει δραματικά το τοπίο στον τομέα των επικοινωνιών. Οι δυνατότητες αυτές αξιοποιούνται καθημερινά, όχι μόνο σε νόμιμες δραστηριότητες, αλλά και σε εγκληματικές, μετατρέποντας συμβατικές εγκληματικές συμπεριφορές σε κυβερνοεγκλήματα και θέτοντας παράλληλα πρωτόγνωρους κινδύνους στους χρήστες του διαδικτύου. Ευάλωτη ομάδα αυτών αποτελούν, οι ανήλικοι, οι οποίοι αν και χρησιμοποιούν εφαρμογές κοινωνικής δικτύωσης από μικρή κιόλας ηλικία, δεν διαθέτουν την απαιτούμενη ωριμότητα για να τους εντοπίσουν και να τους αντιμετωπίσουν επαρκώς, ενώ οι γονείς αν και επιθυμούν, δεν έχουν το απαιτούμενο επίπεδο γνώσης και εξοικείωσης για να επιτηρήσουν τη διαδικτυακή τους δραστηριότητα και να τους προφυλάξουν από τους κινδύνους του κυβερνοχώρου. Η διεθνής κοινότητα έχει λάβει μια σειρά από νομοθετικές πρωτοβουλίες με σκοπό την κατοχύρωση των δικαιωμάτων των ανηλίκων, αλλά και την προστασία τους έναντι της σεξουαλικής εκμετάλλευσης και κακοποίησης. Αντίστοιχα, ο Έλληνας νομοθέτης ενσωματώνει συστηματικά στη εθνική έννομη τάξη τις απαιτούμενες ρυθμίσεις, ώστε να δημιουργείται ένα σύγχρονο και επαρκές νομοθετικό πλαίσιο για την προστασία των ανήλικων. Ωστόσο, καθώς το κυβερνοέγκλημα δεν γνωρίζει σύνορα, απαιτείται διεθνής συνεργατική προσπάθεια και ενεργοί δίαυλοι επικοινωνίας που να επιτρέπουν την ταχεία διασυνοριακή ανταλλαγή πληροφοριών, για τη αποτελεσματική δίωξη των εγκλημάτων σεξουαλικής κακοποίησης ανηλίκων.

description: We present a model to calculate heat signal shapes from low temperature bolometer attached to a crystal. This model is based on the elementary acoustic wave theory at low temperature, and has been developed using modern Monte Carlo techniques. Physical processes in phonon propagation, such as transmission, scattering and reflection are considered. Using our model, the calculated time dependence of signal agrees with real experimental data. This model has applications in low temperature rare event particle detectors for dark matter and neutrinos.

description: Soil heat flux (G) is an important component of energy balance by constraining the available amount of latent heat and sensible heat. There are many methods and formulations in the literature to estimate G accurately. In this study, widely used G estimation models are chosen to test. The models are based on Spectral Vegetation Indices (SVIs) namely, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI) together with leaf area index (LAI), and crop height. Two successive growing periods of winter wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.), sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), and maize (Zea mays L.) fields, located in the northwest part of Turkey, are used. Midday values (average of 09:30- 13:30) of G and net radiation (Rn) used in order to capture the time period, when G is proven to be much dominant. According to the results, overall the best relation obtained with an exponential NDVI model with a determination coefficient value of 0.83 and a root mean square (RMS) error value of 20.28 Wm-2 for maize. For winter wheat, G predicted the best with SAVI based model (r2=0.74), and for sunflower, LAI based model worked best with 0.75 r2 value. Crop height (CH) based nonlinear regression G model that suggested in this study worked better than linear models suggested in the literature with a better determination coefficient (r2=0.70) and a lower RMS error value (10.8 Wm-2).

description: We reconsider the well-known and long-debated problem of the calculation of the eigenvalues of the Herbst Hamiltonian 2\sqrt{p^2 +m^2} - κ/r. We give a formulation of the problem that allows, for the first time, a perturbative evaluation of the eigenvalues for any n and l, and in principle up to any order in κvia standard Kato perturbation theory. We present the evaluation of the energy of the n=1 and n=2 states up to κ^6, confirming the result previously obtained by Le Yaouanc et al. with a completely different technique. Moreover we give the n=2, l=1 level, which is new. Discussion of the results and comparison with previous findings are given at the end.

description: We report the first detailed measurement of the shape of the CO luminosity function at high redshift, based on $>$320 hr of the NSF's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) observations over an area of $\sim$60 arcmin$^2$ taken as part of the CO Luminosity Density at High Redshift (COLDz) survey. COLDz "blindly" selects galaxies based on their cold gas content through CO($J$=1$\to$0) emission at $z$$\sim$2-3 and CO($J$=2$\to$1) at $z$$\sim$5-7 down to a CO luminosity limit of log($L'_{\rm CO}$/K km s$^{-1}$ pc$^2$)$\simeq$9.5. We find that the characteristic luminosity and bright end of the CO luminosity function are substantially higher than predicted by semi-analytical models, but consistent with empirical estimates based on the infrared luminosity function at $z$$\sim$2. We also present the currently most reliable measurement of the cosmic density of cold gas in galaxies at early epochs, i.e., the cold gas history of the universe, as determined over a large cosmic volume of $\sim$375,000 Mpc$^3$. Our measurements are in agreement with an increase of the cold gas density from $z$$\sim$0 to $z$$\sim$2-3, followed by a possible decline towards $z$$\sim$5-7. These findings are consistent with recent surveys based on higher-$J$ CO line measurements, upon which COLDz improves in terms of statistical uncertainties by probing $\sim$50-100 times larger areas and in the reliability of total gas mass estimates by probing the low-$J$ CO lines accessible to the VLA. Our results thus appear to suggest that the cosmic star-formation rate density follows an increased cold molecular gas content in galaxies towards its peak about 10 billion years ago, and that its decline towards the earliest epochs is likely related to a lower overall amount of cold molecular gas (as traced by CO) bound in galaxies towards the first billion years after the Big Bang.

description: During the last decades, climate change and variability are increasingly and negatively affecting agriculture. To ensure satisfactory and stable food production, agriculture is intensifying the adoption of external input with environmental consequences such as the emission of greenhouse gases. In this experiment, we monitored CO2 and CH4 emission dynamics from cultivation of maize for silage grown under different fertilization treatments: (i) liquid fraction of digestate from pig slurries, (ii) urea, and (iii) no fertilization (control), in an extremely dry summer in Central Italy. Results show that the use of the liquid-organic fertilizer (digestate) significantly increased CO2 emissions from soil (685.29 kg-C ha-1) compared to the conventional fertilizer (urea) (391.60 kg-C ha-1). However, CH4 emissions were comparable between the two fertilizers and almost negligible compared to those of CO2. In both treatments CH4 emissions were enhanced by the only precipitation event, coupled with an increase of air temperature. Effectiveness of tested fertilizers was assessed through a yield analysis, and proved that digestate may represent a viable alternative to urea (6.97 and 6.48 t ha-1). Nevertheless, considering CO2 emissions from digestate and the numerous passes in field needed for its spreading, the use of this fertilizer in extreme dry conditions requires specific considerations.

description: It is argued that N=6 supergravity on $AdS_5$, with gauge group $SU(3)\times U(1)$ corresponds, at the classical level, to a subsector of the ``chiral'' primary operators of N=4 Yang-Mills theories. This projection involves a ``duality transformation'' of N=4 Yang-Mills theory and therefore can be valid if the coupling is at a self-dual point, or for those amplitudes that do not depend on the coupling constant.

description: In a context of climate change, the knowledge of local meteorological trend and variability is a very useful tool in precision farming for crop production and quality. The aim of this study is to analyze the thermo-pluviometric variability of Val d’Orcia olive orchards area (Tuscany, Italy), a hilly region characterized by a great orographic variability that lacs of historical termo-pluviometric information. In this study trend of thermo-pluviometric indices (TX, TN, TG, FD, RR and GDD) for the period 2012-2017 in three weather station located at different height and orientation in the Val d’Orcia Area are presented. During the study period, yearly extra virgin olive oil (EVO) yield was also analyzed. The variability observed in precipitation confirms the strong influence of topography and atmospheric circulation on local precipitation distribution. While the analysis of thermal regimes and frost days evidence the strong presence of thermal inversion phenomenon in this area. A strong relationship was found between yearly EVO yield and GDD during the vegetative period.
