description: The link between turbulence in star formatting environments and protostellar jets remains controversial. To explore issues of turbulence and fossil cavities driven by young stellar outflows we present a series of numerical simulations tracking the evolution of transient protostellar jets driven into a turbulent medium. Our simulations show both the effect of turbulence on outflow structures and, conversely, the effect of outflows on the ambient turbulence. We demonstrate how turbulence will lead to strong modifications in jet morphology. More importantly, we demonstrate that individual transient outflows have the capacity to re-energize decaying turbulence. Our simulations support a scenario in which the directed energy/momentum associated with cavities is randomized as the cavities are disrupted by dynamical instabilities seeded by the ambient turbulence. Consideration of the energy power spectra of the simulations reveals that the disruption of the cavities powers an energy cascade consistent with Burgers'-type turbulence and produces a driving scale-length associated with the cavity propagation length. We conclude that fossil cavities interacting either with a turbulent medium or with other cavities have the capacity to sustain or create turbulent flows in star forming environments. In the last section we contrast our work and its conclusions with previous studies which claim that jets can not be the source of turbulence.

description: Dynamic development of technology and construction of supercapacitors, stimulated by demand in automotive industry, leads to conclusion that they are becoming a real alternative to batteries used in autonomic photovoltaic installations. Their application advantages consist of rapid charging and discharging, much higher durability and maintenance-free operation as well as use of materials that do not endanger the environment. The article focuses on application of commercial supercapacitor modules in autonomic photovoltaic installations. Pros and cons of supercapacitor-based installations are presented in contrast with battery-based ones or installations based on a single supercapacitor. An exemplary installation sets that consist of four commercial 500F/16V modules connected in parallel and serial configuration are presented. The practical implementation of this technology is a DC/DC inverter intended to charge a battery of supercapacitor using MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technique. An explanation of the role of DC/DC inverter stabilizer that handles the variability of the output voltage in a battery of supercapacitors is presented. The article discusses the original solution presents the results of the experimental research and the measurements performed on the installation. The analysis of possible areas of application in the perspective of economic conditions is also presented.

description: Chromosomal DNA is characterized by variation between individuals at the level of entire chromosomes (e.g., aneuploidy in which the chromosome copy number is altered), segmental changes (including insertions, deletions, inversions, and translocations), and changes to small genomic regions (including single nucleotide polymorphisms). A variety of alterations that occur in chromosomal DNA, many of which can be detected using high density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarrays, are linked to normal variation as well as disease and are therefore of particular interest. These include changes in copy number (deletions and duplications) and genotype (e.g., the occurrence of regions of homozygosity). Hidden Markov models (HMM) are particularly useful for detecting such alterations, modeling the spatial dependence between neighboring SNPs. Here, we improve previous approaches that utilize HMM frameworks for inference in high throughput SNP arrays by integrating copy number, genotype calls, and the corresponding measures of uncertainty when available. Using simulated and experimental data, we, in particular, demonstrate how confidence scores control smoothing in a probabilistic framework. Software for fitting HMMs to SNP array data is available in the R package VanillaICE.

description: In this paper we investigate how well Planck and Lyman-Alpha forest data will be able to constrain the sum of the neutrino masses, and thus, in conjunction with flavour oscillation experiments, be able to determine the absolute masses of the neutrinos. It seems possible that Planck, together with a Lyman-Alpha survey, will be able to put pressure on an inverted hierarchial model for the neutrino masses. However, even for optimistic assumptions of the precision of future Lyman-Alpha datasets, it will not be possible to confirm a minimal-mass normal hierarchy.

description: Uapaca kirkiana is an underutilised indigenous fruit tree (IFT) found in the miombo ecological zone in sub-Saharan Africa. Furthermore, sub-Saharan Africa is home to many nutritionally insecure people who suffer from micronutrient deficiency. The incorporation of probiotic strains in jams as a possible way of enhancing mineral accessibility, food quality, and health is limited in Africa. This study monitored the probiotic potential, bioaccessible iron and zinc, and organoleptic properties of U. kirkiana fruit jam fermented with L. rhamnosus yoba. U. kirkiana fruits were collected from semiarid rural areas of Zimbabwe. The L. rhamnosus yoba strain was obtained from the Yoba for Life Foundation, Netherlands. Mineral and biochemical properties of the probiotic jam were analysed using AOAC standard methods. The U. kirkiana fruit tree was ranked first as a food resource by most rural populations in Zimbabwe. The probiotic jam formulation had 55% (wt/vol) U. kirkiana fruit pulp, 43% (wt/vol) sugar, 1.25% (wt/vol) pectin, 0.5% (wt/vol) citric acid, and 0.25% (wt/vol) L. rhamnosus yoba strain.

description: The discovery of diffuse sub-PeV gamma-rays by the Tibet AS$_γ$ Collaboration promises to revolutionize our understanding of the high-energy astrophysical universe. It has been shown that these data broadly agree with prior theoretical expectations. We study the impact of this discovery on a well-motivated new physics scenario: PeV-scale decaying dark matter (DM). Considering a wide range of final states in DM decay, a number of DM density profiles, and numerous astrophysical background models, we find that these data provide the most stringent limit on DM lifetime for various Standard Model final states. In particular, we find that the strongest constraints are derived for DM masses in between a few PeV to a few tens of PeV. Near-future data of these high-energy gamma-rays can be used to discover PeV-scale decaying DM.

description: Since the discovery of the first immortal cell line HeLa in 1951, cancer cell lines (CCLs) have been a mainstay of cancer research. But it was not until the establishment of the National Cancer Institute of 60 cancer cell lines (NCI-60) that they became invaluable to cancer drug development. Over 30 years on from the beginning of large-scale cancer drug screening, many large-scale CCL panels now exist, including the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) and Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC). These studies have had the reproducibility of their results questioned. With the increased attention of the reproducibility crisis and previous issues with cell line misidentification, scepticism is perhaps fair. It is determined in analyses here that platinum drugs do not all have the same drug sensitivity profiles and confirmed a novel approach to determine cancer cell line sensitivity using clinically relevant thresholds. Data from two large-scale pharmacogenomics screens was also used to validate experimental work carried out with the compound YM155 with relation to ABCB1 and SLC35F2 expression levels. Reproducibility and replication of results is also examined using NCI-60 data and it was determined that high variability in drug sensitivity data existed despite standardisation of protocols. Results here prove that if used correctly, despite flaws in the panels, the data can prove insightful in many ways. Particularly when used as a validation method for research carried out in a wet lab. It was also shown that reproducibility of data from these CCL panels should be considered when using for analysis as drug sensitivity data was shown to be highly variable, and that perhaps, despite high levels of standardisation there exists an intrinsic variability in biological systems.

description: Thermoelectric generators, also known as thermogenerators, are devices that directly convert thermal energy into electricity. In the last few years there has been a dynamic development in their technology, construction and application areas. Because of the systematic rise of their efficiency, in some cases, the use of thermogenerators as a supporter for autonomic hybrid photovoltaic installations turns out to be advisable. This article is a review of commercial thermoelectric generators available on the market. It discuses an applications in automotive technology, especially camping cars, as well as power supplying in small and middle sized vessels, small residential buildings heated by fireplaces or based on LPG where there is no access to an electric grid. Based on the previous experiences in such installations, related to hybrid photovoltaic installations supported by combustion generators and fuel cells, an authors proposal of installation configuration has been presented. The article presents scientific description of components essential for proper functioning and optimal energy expenditure of power produced by photovoltaic modules and thermoelectric generators. Article demonstrates how to run the energy management and proposes the research station for simulation tests. The solution has been put under the economical analysis providing the estimation of production cost per kWh.

description: On using the known equivalence between the presence of a position-dependent mass (PDM) in the Schrödinger equation and a deformation of the canonical commutation relations, a method based on deformed shape invariance has recently been devised for generating pairs of potential and PDM for which the Schrödinger equation is exactly solvable. This approach has provided the bound-state energy spectrum, as well as the ground-state and the first few excited-state wavefunctions. The general wavefunctions have however remained unknown in explicit form because for their determination one would need the solutions of a rather tricky differential-difference equation. Here we show that solving this equation may be avoided by combining the deformed shape invariance technique with the point canonical transformation method in a novel way. It consists in employing our previous knowledge of the PDM problem energy spectrum to construct a constant-mass Schrödinger equation with similar characteristics and in deducing the PDM wavefunctions from the known constant-mass ones. Finally, the equivalence of the wavefunctions coming from both approaches is checked.

description: We have achieved 19.8% large-area conversion efficiency with copper-plated selective-emitter solar cells. Industrial 156 mm p-type Czochralski (Cz) single-crystalline silicon (sc-Si) wafers were used as substrates. Our cells feature a single-side texture, a single-side emitter, a standard silicon nitride single-layer anti-reflective coating, and an aluminum full back-surface field. For opening the front dielectric and simultaneously forming the selective emitter, the LDSE (Laser-Doped Selective Emitter) and the LCP (Laser Chemical Processing) approaches were tested and compared. Nickel–copper–tin tri-layer contacts were formed at the front by light-induced plating (LID). Improving the emitter diffusion process and finding the correct laser-processing window were critical in raising the cell efficiencies (1.2%p over our lab baseline). The LDSE and the LCP cells were similar in their characteristics, but
narrower fingers and consequently a smaller shading loss could be achieved with the LDSE approach.

description: We compute, in the MSSM framework, the sum of the one-loop electroweak and of the total QED radiation effects for the process $pp \to t W+X$, initiated by the parton process $bg\to tW$. Combining these terms with the existing NLO calculations of SM and SUSY QCD corrections, we analyze the overall one-loop supersymmetric effects on the partial rates of the process, obtained by integrating the differential cross section up to a final variable invariant mass. We conclude that, for some choices of the SUSY parameters and for relatively small final invariant masses, they could reach the relative ten percent level, possibly relevant for a dedicated experimental effort at LHC.

description: The world recorded 25% conversion efficiency for single junction silicon solar cell is achieved by passivated emitter and rear locally diffused solar cell using highly purified and expensive float zone silicon wafers.This paper reports initial results of transferring such a solar cell structure onto commercial grade silicon wafer via
laser doping technology to overcome the performance limits enforced by the industry screen printing solar cell technology. As proof-of-concept, open circuit voltage in the range of 660mV was achieved on a commercial grade silicon wafer with high short circuit current density. However, at this stage, the solar cells’ efficiency is limited by low fill factor. Further investigation reveals that this low FF is probably caused by laser-induced defect. It was found
a buffer layer which deposited to rear surface before laser doping increases the FF by 7% absolute and by more than
1% absolute increase in solar cell’s efficiency.

description: Above 18% efficiency on large area commercial-grade multicrystalline silicon solar cells by laser
doping is studied in this paper. The liquid dopant solution is sprayed onto the SiNx:H film to act as dopant source.
Laser doping is performed to locally melt silicon substrates and phosphorus dopant atoms are incorporated into the
liquid silicon by liquid-phase diffusion to form a selective emitter. Light-induced plating is carried out for front side
metallization. The influences of laser energy density and pulse overlap on electrical performance of large-area
multicrystalline silicon solar cells are obtained. The typical efficiency distribution for one day production of the 10
MW production line shows the overall average efficiency above 18% on large area commercial-grade multicrystalline
silicon substrates, confirming the potential for transferring high-efficiency selective emitter silicon solar cells by laser
doping into production line.

Using muon spin relaxation (MuSR) and electron spin resonance (ESR), we show that magnesium doping does not stabilize any magnetic or orbital order, despite the absence of interplane Ni2+. A disordered, slowly fluctuating state develops below 12 K. In addition, we find that magnons are excited on the time scale of the ESR experiment. At the same time, a g factor anisotropy is observed, in agreement with $| 3z^{2}-r^{2}>$ orbital occupancy.

Comparing Mutation Coverage Against Branch Coverage in an Industrial Setting

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Software Engineering (cs.SE)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The state-of-the-practice in software development is driven by constant change fueled by continuous integration servers. Such constant change demands for frequent and fully automated tests capable to detect faults immediately upon project build. As the fault detection capability of the test suite becomes so important, modern software development teams continuously monitor the quality of the test suite as well. However, it appears that the state-of-the-practice is reluctant to adopt strong coverage metrics (namely mutation coverage), instead relying on weaker kinds of coverage (namely branch coverage). In this paper, we investigate three reasons that prohibit the adoption of mutation coverage in a continuous integration setting: (1) the difficulty of its integration into the build system, (2) the perception that branch coverage is "good enough", and (3) the performance overhead during the build. Our investigation is based on a case study involving four open source systems and one industrial system. We demonstrate that mutation coverage reveals additional weaknesses in the test suite compared to branch coverage and that it is able to do so with an acceptable performance overhead during project build.

description: The intimate links between gravitation and the second law are summarized and two less known relations between gravity and thermodynamics are studied. Firstly, the information cost required to operate a Maxwell's demon on a curved spacetime is estimated using the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy. More importantly, the charge and time (C and T) reversal properties of the Kerr-Newman solution in General relativity show that this solution, similarly to the Dirac equation, appears to represent both a particle and its antiparticle and suggests a definition of antimatter in general relativity. This definition leads to a parameter free explanation of the cosmological constant term observed in the supernovae data. The relation of this definition of antimatter with the coupled systems through opposite time arrows studied by Schulman is also emphasized.

description: The efficiency and peak power obtained under standard test conditions are still frequently used to rate traditional flat photovoltaic (PV) modules. However, the performance of a PV module under real operation conditions cannot be simply inferred from such standards. Simple procedures to predict long-term performance are outstanding issue. Especially, output of Sphelar® modules is significantly enhanced when irradiated from all directions, compared with under vertically falling light. 3D light capture must be taken into full account.

description: A report is made on a comprehensive observation of a burst-like $γ$-ray emission from thunderclouds on the Sea of Japan, during strong thunderstorms on 2007 January 6. The detected emission, lasting for $\sim$40 seconds, preceded cloud-to-ground lightning discharges. The burst spectrum, extending to 10 MeV, can be interpreted as consisting of bremsstrahlung photons originating from relativistic electrons. This ground-based observation provides first clear evidence that strong electric fields in thunderclouds can continuously accelerate electrons beyond 10 MeV prior to lightning discharges.

description: The quest for the improvement of solar cell efficiency and a reduction of production costs was the intention
for the joint project. The aim of this project is to work out the potential of the magnetic Czochralski technology as a
process control system for the crystal quality, the process stability, material parameters and the performance of the solar
cells in an industrial scale. Therefore a superconducting magnet in a cusp configuration (Bruker ASC GmbH) was
installed on a Czochralski puller (PVA Tepla AG) for the growth of silicon mono crystals. Boron doped crystals were
grown under various growth conditions for the production of full square 6 inch p-type wafers. These wafers were used for
the characterization of the material parameters especially with respect to the oxygen content and were processed to
standard (Al-BSF) and PERC solar cells (Schott Solar AG) for the evaluation of the cell parameters. It is experimentally
confirmed that the suitable application of a cusp magnetic field increases process stability and allows a higher growth rate
while simultaneously decreasing the oxygen content in the crystals significantly. It is shown that solar cells produced
from these crystals show higher cell efficiency as well as smaller LID.

description: I review the scientific potential of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), a space-borne gravitational wave (GW) observatory to be launched in the early 30s'. Thanks to its sensitivity in the milli-Hz frequency range, LISA will reveal a variety of GW sources across the Universe, from our Solar neighbourhood potentially all the way back to the Big Bang, promising to be a game changer in our understanding of astrophysics, cosmology and fundamental physics. This review dives in the LISA Universe, with a specific focus on black hole science, including the formation and evolution of massive black holes in galaxy centres, the dynamics of dense nuclei and formation of extreme mass ratio inspirals, and the astrophysics of stellar-origin black hole binaries.

description: A new linear RF plasma source (RFPS) developed for the dynamic deposition of a-Si:H and other thin
films in a MAiA® is presented. The general RFPS design is similar to a cross-flow type PECVD reactor in which the
plasma is generated between a linear planar electrode and a moving carrier with solar cell substrates. The RFPS
deposition characteristic in static deposition mode is compared to that one of a linear MW plasma source (MWPS)
and found to be favorable in achieving homogenous layer composition when applied in dynamic deposition mode.
For the dynamic deposition mode, the layer characteristics of RFPS deposited a-Si:H is compared to MWPS
deposited a-Si:H. Besides, the surface passivation of RFPS deposited a-Si:H layers of less than 10nm thickness,
reaching effective minority carrier lifetimes of eff≈10ms at minority carrier densities of 1x1015cm-3, or effective
surface recombination velocities of Seff≈1.4cm/s are compared with MWPS deposited a-Si:H layers of comparable
thickness. As an example for a possible application of the RFPS in a MAiA®, the passivation quality of a-Si:H
(RFPS-PECVD) + SiNx (MWPS-PECVD) stacks on 156x156mm2 alkaline textured n-type CZ wafers reaching
effective surface recombination velocities Seff<5cm/s is demonstrated. Finally, the thermal stability of the best of
these stacks surface passivation quality in dependence on the firing peak temperature of a firing process performed in
a CAMiNi® firing furnace is demonstrated to be stable at a level of Seff=10cm/s up to firing peak temperatures of
Tpeak=850°C.
Testing whether a signal is strictly periodic. Application to disentangling planets and stellar activity in radial velocities

description: Searches for periodicity in time series are often done with models of periodic signals, whose statistical significance is assessed via false alarm probabilities or Bayes factors. However, a statistically significant periodic model might not originate from a strictly periodic source. In astronomy in particular, one expects transient signals that show periodicity for a certain amount of time before vanishing. This situation is encountered for instance in the search for planets in radial velocity data. While planetary signals are expected to have a stable phase, amplitude and frequency - except when strong planet-planet interactions are present - signals induced by stellar activity will typically not exhibit the same stability. In the present article, we explore the use of periodic functions multiplied by time windows to diagnose whether an apparently periodic signal is truly so. We suggest diagnostics to check whether a signal is consistently present in the time series, and has a stable phase, amplitude and period. The tests are expressed both in a periodogram and Bayesian framework. Our methods are applied to the Solar HARPS-N data as well as HD 215152, HD 69830 and HD 13808. We find that (i) the HARPS-N Solar data exhibits signals at the Solar rotation period and its first harmonic ($\sim$ 13.4 days). The frequency and phase of the 13.4 days signal appear constant within the estimation uncertainties, but its amplitude presents significant variations which can be mapped to activity levels. (ii) as previously reported, we find four, three and two planets orbiting HD 215152, HD 69830 and HD 13808.

Measurement of the top quark mass with dilepton events selected using neuroevolution at CDF

description: We report a measurement of the top quark mass $M_t$ in the dilepton decay channel $t\bar{t}\to b\ell'^{+}ν'_\ell\bar{b}\ell^{-}\barν_{\ell}$. Events are selected with a neural network which has been directly optimized for statistical precision in top quark mass using neuroevolution, a technique modeled on biological evolution. The top quark mass is extracted from per-event probability densities that are formed by the convolution of leading order matrix elements and detector resolution functions. The joint probability is the product of the probability densities from 344 candidate events in 2.0 fb$^{-1}$ of $p\bar{p}$ collisions collected with the CDF II detector, yielding a measurement of $M_t= 171.2\pm 2.7(\textrm{stat.})\pm 2.9(\textrm{syst.})\mathrm{GeV}/c^2$.

description: Energy levels are investigated for two charged particles possessing an attractive, momentum-independent, zero-range interaction in a uniform magnetic field. A transcendental equation governs the spectrum, which is characterized by a collective Landau-level quantum number incorporating both center-of-mass and relative degrees of freedom. Results are obtained for a system of one charged and one neutral particle, with the interaction chosen to produce a bound state in vanishing magnetic field. Beyond deriving the weak-field expansion of the energy levels, we focus on non-perturbative aspects. In the strong-field limit, or equivalently for a system in the unitary limit, a single bound level with universal binding energy exists. By contrast, excited states are resonances that disappear into the continuum as the magnetic field is raised beyond critical values. A hyperbola is derived that approximates the number of bound levels as a function of the field strength remarkably well.

description: The measurement of the IV curve at Standard Test Conditions plays a key role in performance analysis
and maximum power determination of PV modules. Accredited laboratories must give the result of the measurement with
the measurement uncertainty; the coverage factor and probability density function must also be specified. The major
contributions to the overall uncertainties budget when measuring an IV curve indoor with a pulsed solar simulator are the
optical uncertainties, the reference cell calibration uncertainty and the spectral mismatch uncertainty. In this analysis the
optical measurement error has been described as the difference between the irradiance value measured by the reference
cell and the effective irradiance values on the module surface. The geometrical parameters identified as source of errors
have been modeled as random variables, with different probability density functions, and the resulting error function has
been computed with 1 000 000 Monte Carlo trials. Particular configurations have been considered in order to identify
what parameters among the set have more influence on the final uncertainty; their statistical estimates and probability
density functions give informations about their propagations through the measurement system.
The results of simulations with real conditions have finally been compared with the GUM method.
