description: Examples of the different events affecting wind power fluctuations are shown.The behaviors and the responses of the Spanish power system and wind power plants experiencing such events were analyzed. Examples presented in this chapter show that some of the wind power integration issues are related to low-voltage ride-through. They are solved through strict grid code enforcement. Other solutions to manage the reserve power generation and the wind power fluctuations are also very important in order to achieve high levels of wind power penetration. In the Spanish case, this could require increasing the availability of dispatchable and fast-start power plants, as well as increasing wind power plant participation on supporting the power system by providing voltage control, inertial emulation, frequency control, oscillation damping, or updated voltage ride-through capabilities.

description: Corn imports are likely to rise in Egypt because of production constraints imposed by limited arable land. Competition for Egypt's corn import market has increased in recent years and the types of export promotion programs, particularly prices, will determine market shares. Credit is an important factor in import decisions. The United States is the largest supplier of corn with a market share of 75 to 90 percent during the last decade. Other suppliers are Argentina and, more recently, East European countries. Argentine prices have been lower than U.S. prices for comparable quality corn. East European countries are aggressively seeking to increase their shares by providing cheaper corn. If the United States is to maintain its share of Egyptian imports, then corn exports will need to be competitively priced and assisted by an aggressive program of promotion and credit. Providing cleaner corn is unlikely to change market shares.

description: In this paper, we present a generic deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) for multi-class image segmentation. It is based on a well-established supervised end-to-end DCNN model, known as U-net. U-net is firstly modified by adding widely used batch normalization and residual block (named as BRU-net) to improve the efficiency of model training. Based on BRU-net, we further introduce a dynamically weighted cross-entropy loss function. The weighting scheme is calculated based on the pixel-wise prediction accuracy during the training process. Assigning higher weights to pixels with lower segmentation accuracies enables the network to learn more from poorly predicted image regions. Our method is named as feedback weighted U-net (FU-net). We have evaluated our method based on T1- weighted brain MRI for the segmentation of midbrain and substantia nigra, where the number of pixels in each class is extremely unbalanced to each other. Based on the dice coefficient measurement, our proposed FU-net has outperformed BRU-net and U-net with statistical significance, especially when only a small number of training examples are available. The code is publicly available in GitHub (GitHub link: https://github.com/MinaJf/FU-net).

description: We routinely communicate distinct social and emotional sentiments through nuanced touch. For example, we might gently hold another's arm to offer a sense of calm, yet intensively hold another's arm to express excitement or anxiety. As this example indicates, distinct sentiments may be shaped by the subtlety in one's touch delivery. This work investigates how slight distinctions in skin-to-skin contact influence both the recognition of cued emotional messages (e.g., anger, sympathy) and the rating of emotional content (i.e., arousal, valence). By self-selecting preferred gestures (e.g., holding, stroking), touchers convey distinct messages by touching the receiver's forearm. Skin-to-skin contact attributes (e.g., velocity, depth, area) are optically tracked in high resolution. Contact is then examined within gesture, between messages. The results indicate touchers subtly, but significantly, vary contact attributes of a gesture to communicate distinct messages, which are recognizable by receivers. This tuning also correlates with receivers' arousal and valence. For instance, arousal increases with velocity for stroking, and depth for holding. Moreover, as shown here with human-to-human touch, valence is tied with velocity, which is the same trend as reported with brushes. The findings indicate that subtle nuance in skin-to-skin contact is important in conveying social messages and inducing emotions.

description: We study the insulating phase of disordered indium oxide films that undergo a field-tuned superconductor-insulator transition. The transport measurements in a perpendicular magnetic field show distinct regimes of strongly fluctuating order-parameter amplitude and phase, and reveal a wide range of insulator strength in samples with differing disorder, despite the similarity in behavior near the SIT. We characterize the strength of the insulating phase and compare it to the superconducting strength. We find that the films do not return to the expected normal state even at high perpendicular magnetic fields where all pairs should be broken, suggesting the remaining presence of superconductivity at high fields.

A description on how to combine the cross sections of $e^{+}b\to t\barν$ and $e^{+}g\to t\bar{b}\barν$ processes is given. $e^{+}$-beam direction is taken to be the favorite top quark spin decomposition axis in its rest frame and it is found to be comparable with the ones in $pp$ collision. It is argued that theoretical simplicity and experimental clearness are the advantage of $ep$ collision.

The Abundance and Radial Distribution of Satellite Galaxies

description: Using detailed mock galaxy redshift surveys (MGRSs) we investigate the abundance and radial distribution of satellite galaxies. The mock surveys are constructed using the conditional luminosity function (CLF), and are compared against data from the 2dFGRS. We use Monte Carlo Markov Chains to explore the full posterior distribution of the CLF parameter space, and show that the average relation between light and mass is tightly constrained. The radial number density distribution of satellite galaxies in the 2dFGRS reveals a pronounced absence of satellites at small projected separations from their host galaxies. This is (at least partially) due to the overlap and merging of galaxy images in the APM catalogue. Because of the resulting close-pair incompleteness we are unfortunately unable to put meaningful constraints on the radial distribution of satellite galaxies. Marginalizing over the full CLF parameter space, we show that in a LCDM concordance cosmology the observed abundances of host and satellite galaxies in the 2dFGRS indicate a power spectrum normalization of sigma_8=0.7. The same cosmology but with sigma_8=0.9 is unable to simultanously match the abundances of host and satellite galaxies. This confirms our previous conclusions based on the pairwise peculiar velocity dispersions and the group multipliticy function.

description: This report describes and illustrates a method by which a set of total accounts can be constructed from the U.S. National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA). These total accounts can be used in applied general equilibrium models. An appealing feature of the accounting system is that it allows a precise mapping of various components of the NIPA into the relevant markets with which they are associated. To the extent that this results in a more accurate representation of the initial state of the economy, the more reliable will be the results stemming from the imposition of economic models on the data.
On the Estimation of Mutual Information

Subjects: subject: Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability (physics.data-an)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper we focus on the estimation of mutual information from finite samples $(\mathcal{X}\times\mathcal{Y})$. The main concern with estimations of mutual information is their robustness under the class of transformations for which it remains invariant: i.e. type I (coordinate transformations), III (marginalizations) and special cases of type IV (embeddings, products). Estimators which fail to meet these standards are not \textit{robust} in their general applicability. Since most machine learning tasks employ transformations which belong to the classes referenced in part I, the mutual information can tell us which transformations are most optimal\cite{Carrara_Ernst}. There are several classes of estimation methods in the literature, such as non-parametric estimators like the one developed by Kraskov et. al\cite{KSG}, and its improved versions\cite{LNC}. These estimators are extremely useful, since they rely only on the geometry of the underlying sample, and circumvent estimating the probability distribution itself. We explore the robustness of this family of estimators in the context of our design criteria.

Distribution
Bombus rupestris has a large distribution in the West Palearctic (Rasmont et al. 2021). In Belgium, the species is absent from many localities where it was once found (Folschweiller 2020), especially in the Hainaut province. Most of its subsisting locations are concentrated in the northern and oriental parts of its Belgian distribution (Campine, Ardenne and Belgian Lorraine). It is noteworthy that, even historically, B. rupestris has never been a relatively abundant species in the country. The males of the species are largely associated with thistles and their regression could have acted as a major factor of decline in the species. Besides, climate change is expected to induce large-scale reductions of its European range by 2080-2100 (Rasmont et al. 2015, Ghisbain et al. 2024).
Notes
Bombus rupestris is a socially parasitic bumblebee species. It parasitiszes the nest of Bombus lapidarius, a very common species both across Europe and in Belgium (Rasmont et al. 2021). The species does not seem to be strongly associated with specific habitat types, although it is largely absent from urbanised areas (Folschweiller 2020).
Diagnosis
In Belgium, the females of B. rupestris (Fig. 8) can be confused with other species of black bumblebees with a ‘ red tail’, such as B. lapidarius, B. ruderarius, B. soroeensis and B. cullumanus (although the latter is thought to have fully extinct from the country). However, females of B. rupestris can be separated from all other concolour bumblebees by the presence of a high density of hairs on the metatibia. This feature is typical of the parasitic bumblebees of the subgenus Psithyrus, that lack a corbicula for collecting pollen. The males of B. rupestris can be differentiated from the males of all other bumblebee species on the basis of the morphology of their genitalia (drawn in Rasmont et al. 2021).

description: The Korean feed grain market is almost totally dependent on imports of feed grains, chiefly corn, for feed manufacturing and industrial production of starch and high-fructose corn syrup. While the United States has historically dominated the Korean corn import market, the U.S. share of Korean corn imports dropped to less than 20 percent in 1992/93. U.S. corn is increasingly competing with competitively priced feed wheat and lower priced Chinese corn. While U.S. corn is generally preferred due to its higher yielding characteristics, its kernel uniformity, and the general reliability of the United States as a supplier, corn prices from China are consistently lower than U.S. prices and the shipping time is shorter.
Limits of sympathetic cooling of fermions: The role of the heat capacity of the coolant

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The sympathetic cooling of an initially degenerate Fermi gas by either an ideal Bose gas below $T_c$ or an ideal Boltzmann gas is investigated. It is shown that the efficiency of cooling by a Bose gas below $T_c$ is by no means reduced when its heat capacity becomes much less than that of the Fermi gas, where efficiency is measured by the decrease in the temperature of the Fermi gas per number of particles evaporated from the coolant. This contradicts the intuitive idea that an efficient coolant must have a large heat capacity. In contrast, for a Boltzmann gas a minimal value of the ratio of the heat capacities is indeed necessary to achieve T=0 and all of the particles must be evaporated.

description: This study aimed to determine university students' purchasing intentions based on the packaging size of food products. It was hypothesized that smaller packaged food products would be significantly favored over larger packaged items. A within-group comparison was made for the 155 student participants (M= 21, 68.39% Female) recruited for this online Qualtrics Survey. Of the two conditions, the large packaging size is defined as carrying an amount exceeding 300g, and the small packaging size of food is defined as carrying an amount less than 300g. Participants were randomly asked to indicate which product they would purchase between two sizes of the same 12 products provided from the Food Hub Market. After the survey, participants completed a demographic questionnaire and were shown a debriefing letter. Results were analyzed using a single sample t-test and binomial test, which indicated students’ intended to purchase smaller packaged items significantly more than large packaged items, supporting our hypothesis. The study coded for participants’ reported reasons of packaging size choices, including frequency of need of the product, price, expiration date, and appearance.

description: One goal of the U.S. Government's policy to reduce air pollution is to reduce the application (deposition) of nitrogen to the Earth's surface by placing controls on the emissions of oxides of nitrogen to the atmosphere. This report evaluates what the environmental and economic effects would be in the future if less nitrogen were applied to the Earth's surface. Agronomic estimates were made of the impacts of the assumed withdrawal of all rainfall nitrogen on the trendline yields of eight crops over an 8-year period (1993-2000). Largely because of price increases accompanying reduced yields from less nitrogen, results show that consumers of the eight crops would be worse off, but the producers would be better off. Without the rainfall nitrogen, Government farm program payments could be about $2.4 billion less over the 8-year period than if current levels of nitrogen in rain continued. Changes in nitrogen use could stem from public policies or widespread private decision making by farmers, or both.

description: Significant threats to people, property, and the environment are posed by landslides, especially in areas with unstable terrainand high rainfall. Communities are left vulnerable by the inaccuracy and tardiness of traditional forecast and warning systems. This research uses cutting-edge AI methods including Natural Language Processing (NLP), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), and Logistic Regression (LR) to address these issues. To more accurately forecast possible landslides, the method combines historical data, satellite imagery, soil analysis, and weather information. CNNs examine visual cues and changes in the landscape, whereas LR models offers data that are easy to recognize and are helpful in determining how various factors affect the potential of landslides. NLP is used to create and distribute real-time warnings on social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, guaranteeing clear, localized information. Rapid notifications are guaranteed by the automated system, enabling communities to react.Through guide, efficient communication, this new approach improves public safety and prediction accuracy while reducing the effects of landslides and saving lives.

description: Structural, magnetic, and dielectric properties of Sm$_2$CoMnO$_6$ have been studied. X-ray diffraction and Rietveld analysis show that the sample crystallizes in the monoclinic structure with \textit{P2$_1$/n} space group. Magnetic study shows that the sample undergoes a paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transition around $T_c$ $\sim$148 K and a low-temperature ordering of Sm$^{3+}$ moments. Temperature-dependent Raman study shows spin-phonon coupling present in this material. Dielectric response of Sm$_2$CoMnO$_6$ shows strong frequency dependence with large dispersion and large dielectric constant. Deviated from ideal Debye's model is found in impedance spectroscopy. Further, the activation energy obtained from tangent loss and complex impedance suggests that the relaxation process is due to electron hopping. AC conductivity has been studied to understand the conduction mechanism. The detailed analysis of AC conductivity shows that quantum mechanical tunneling of charges is involved in the conduction mechanism. The exponent obtained from AC conductivity measurements confirms the non-Debye's nature of Sm$_2$CoMnO$_6$.

description: Two-dimensional stacking fault defects embedded in a bulk crystal can provide a homogeneous trapping potential for carriers and excitons. Here we utilize state-of-the-art structural imaging coupled with density functional and effective-mass theory to build a microscopic model of the stacking-fault exciton. The diamagnetic shift and exciton dipole moment at different magnetic fields are calculated and compared with the experimental photoluminescence of excitons bound to a single stacking fault in GaAs. The model is used to further provide insight into the properties of excitons bound to the double-well potential formed by stacking fault pairs. This microscopic exciton model can be used as an input into models which include exciton-exciton interactions to determine the excitonic phases accessible in this system.

description: Several completely integrable, indeed solvable, Hamiltonian many-body problems are exhibited, characterized by Newtonian equations of motion ("acceleration equal force"), with linear and cubic forces, in N-dimensional space (N being an arbitrary positive integer, with special attention to N=2, namely motions in a plane, and N=3, namely motions in ordinary three-dimensional space). All the equations of motion are written in covariant form ("N-vector equal N-vector"), entailing their rotational invariance. The corresponding Hamiltonians are of normal type, with the kinetic energy quadratic in the canonical momenta, and the potential energy quadratic and quartic in the canonical coordinates.

description: We have observed the optical pulse profile of PSR B0656+14 in 10 phase bins at a high signal-to-noise ratio, and have measured the linear polarization profile over 30% of the pulsar period with some significance. The pulse profile is double-peaked, with a bridge of emission between the two peaks, similar to gamma-ray profiles observed in other pulsars. There is no detectable unpulsed flux, to a 1-sigma limit of 16% of the pulse-averaged flux. The emission in the bridge is highly (~ 100%) polarized, with a position angle sweep in excellent agreement with the prediction of the Rotating Vector Model as determined from radio polarization observations. We are able to account for the gross features of the optical light curve (i.e., the phase separation of the peaks) using both polar cap and outer gap models. Using the polar cap model, we are also able to estimate the height of the optical emission regions.

description: The use of visual nudges has shown to be an effective way to address the intention-action gap. Specifically, memory-based interventions using retrieval cues have demonstrated to be more effective at nudging people’s behaviour than perceptual-based interventions that disclose information requiring conscious interpretation (Luo et al. 2022). However, when exploring the influences of these nudges towards food specific purchases, literature primarily suggests that use of disclosures has a positive impact on purchase behaviour. Little to minimal information is available on the effectiveness of memory-based nudges in relation to food related purchase behaviour, especially when compared with disclosure nudges. Thus, we address this gap by performing a comparative analysis of the influences of reminder and disclosure nudges on food purchase behaviour, within a real-life experimental setting. We hypothesise that both visual nudges, i.e. reminders and disclosures will increase food related purchases and that reminders will be more effective than disclosures at nudging food purchases. Our results provide evidence for both visual nudges improving food purchase behaviour, with disclosures being more effective than reminders. These findings can be used to create more effective marketing and promotional materials to boost sales, more specifically within the context of food products.

description: We construct examples of compact hyperkaehler manifolds with torsion (HKT manifolds) which are not homogeneous and not locally conformal hyperkaehler. Consider a total space T of a tangent bundle over a hyperkaehler manifold M. The manifold T is hypercomplex, but it is never hyperkaehler, unless M is flat. We show that T admits an HKT-structure. We also prove that a quotient of T by a $\Z$-action $v \arrow q^n v$ is HKT, for any real number $q\in \R$, $q>1$. This quotient is compact, if M is compact. A more general version of this construction holds for all hyperholomorphic bundles with holonomy in Sp(n).

description: Immersive Colonography allows medical professionals to navigate inside the intricate tubular geometries of subject-specific 3D colon images using Virtual Reality displays. Typically, camera travel is performed via Fly-Through or Fly-Over techniques that enable semi-automatic traveling through a constrained, well-defined path at user-controlled speeds. However, Fly-Through is known to limit the visibility of lesions located behind or inside haustral folds. At the same time, Fly-Over requires splitting the entire colon visualization into two specific halves. In this paper, we study the effect of immersive Fly-Through and Fly-Over techniques on lesion detection and introduce a camera travel technique that maintains a fixed camera orientation throughout the entire medial axis path. While these techniques have been studied in non-VR desktop environments, their performance is not well understood in VR setups. We performed a comparative study to ascertain which camera travel technique is more appropriate for constrained path navigation in Immersive Colonography and validated our conclusions with two radiologists. To this end, we asked 18 participants to navigate inside a 3D colon to find specific marks. Our results suggest that the Fly-Over technique may lead to enhanced lesion detection at the cost of higher task completion times. Nevertheless, the Fly-Through method may offer a more balanced trade-off between speed and effectiveness, whereas the fixed camera orientation technique provided seemingly inferior performance results. Our study further provides design guidelines and informs future work.

description: It is generally thought that correcting chromatic aberrations in imaging requires multiple surfaces. Here, we show that by allowing the phase in the image plane of a flat lens to be a free parameter, it is possible to correct chromatic aberrations over a large continuous bandwidth with a single diffractive surface. We experimentally demonstrate imaging using a single flat lens of diameter > 3mm, focal length = 5mm (NA = 0.3, f/1.59) that is achromatic from 0.45um to 1um. This combination of size, NA and operating bandwidth has not been demonstrated in a flat lens before. We experimentally characterized the point-spread functions, off-axis aberrations and the broadband imaging performance. In contrast to conventional lens design, we utilize inverse design, where phase in the focal plane is treated as a free parameter. This approach attains a phase-only (lossless) pupil function, which can be implemented as a multi-level diffractive flat lens that achieves achromatic focusing and imaging.

The membrane as a perturbation around string-like configurations

description: The bosonic membrane in a partial gauge, where one space dimension is eliminated, is formulated as a perturbation theory around an exact free string-like solution. This perturbative regime corresponds to a situation where one of the world-volume space-like dimensions is much greater than the other, so that the membrane has the form of a narrow band or large hoop with string excitations being transverse to the widest dimension. The perturbative equations of motion are studied and solved to first order. Furthermore, it is shown for the open or semi-open cases and to any order in perturbation theory, that one may find canonical transformations that will transform the membrane Hamiltonian into a free string-like Hamiltonian and a boundary Hamiltonian. Thus the membrane dynamics in our perturbation scheme is essentially captured by an interacting boundary theory defined on a two-dimensional world-sheet. A possible implication of this to M-theory is discussed.

Intersecting D-branes, Chern-kernels and the inflow mechanism

description: We analyse a system of arbitrarily intersecting D-branes in ten-dimensional supergravity. Chiral anomalies are supported on the intersection branes, called I-branes. For non-transversal intersections anomaly cancellation has been realized until now only cohomologically but not locally, due to short-distance singularities. In this paper we present a consistent local cancellation mechanism, writing the delta-like brane currents as differentials of the recently introduced Chern--kernels, J=dK. In particular, for the first time we achieve anomaly cancellation for dual pairs of D-branes. The Chern-kernel approach allows to construct an effective action for the RR-fields which is free from singularities and cancels the quantum anomalies on all D-branes and I-branes.

description: We study the physics of four-photon states generated in spontaneous parametric down-conversion with a pulsed pump field. In the limit where the coherence time of the photons t_c is much shorter than the duration of the pump pulse Delta t, the four photons can be described as two independent pairs. In the opposite limit, the four photons are in a four-particle entangled state. Any intermediate case can be characterized by a single parameter chi, which is a function of t_c/Delta t. We present a direct measurement of chi through a simple experimental setup. The full theoretical analysis is also provided.

Graviton Emission and Loss of Coherence

description: The decoherence effect due to emission of gravitons is examined. It shows the same qualitative features of the QED effect which has already been investigated, it is obviously much weaker, wholly universal and shows a stronger energy dependence. The result can be extended to photons, they also may undergo decoherence due to graviton emission. For this limited aim the incomplete status of the quantum gravity, in comparison with QED, is not source of severe difficulties because all the effects are attributed to the infrared sector of the dynamics.
