description: This study is focused on the topical issue of increasing the energy efficiency in DC railway systems, in the context of global concerns for reducing the CO2 emissions by minimizing the energy consumption and energy loss. The main achievements in this complex issue are synthesized and discussed in a comprehensive review, emphasizing the implementation and application of the existing solutions on concrete case studies. Thus, all specific subtopics related to the energy efficiency are covered, starting with power quality conditioning and continuing with the recovery of braking energy, of which a large part is lost in the classic DC-traction substations. The solutions of onboard and wayside storage systems for the braking energy are discussed and compared and practical examples are given. Then, the achievements in transforming the existing DC-traction substations in reversible substations with capabilities of power quality improvement are systematically reviewed by illustrating the main results of recent research on this topic. They include the equipment available on the market and solutions validated through implementations on experimental models. Through the results of this extensive review, useful reference and support are provided for the research and development focused on energy efficient traction systems.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Objective To assess basal insulin persistence, associated factors, and economic outcomes for insulin-naïve people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the US. Research design and methods People aged ≥18 years diagnosed with T2DM initiating basal insulin between April 2006 and March 2012 (index date), no prior insulin use, and continuous insurance coverage for 6 months before (baseline) and 24 months after index date (follow-up period) were selected using de-identified administrative claims data in the US. Based on whether there were ≥30 day gaps in basal insulin use in the first year post-index, patients were classified as continuers (no gap), interrupters (≥1 prescription after gap), and discontinuers (no prescription after gap). Main outcome measures Factors associated with persistence – assessed using multinomial logistic regression model; annual healthcare resource use and costs during follow-up period – compared separately between continuers and interrupters, and continuers and discontinuers. Results Of the 19,110 people included in the sample (mean age: 59 years, ∼60% male), 20% continued to use basal insulin, 62% had ≥1 interruption, and 18% discontinued therapy in the year after initiation. Older age, multiple antihyperglycemic drug use, and injectable antihyperglycemic use during baseline were associated with significantly higher likelihoods of continuing basal insulin. Relative to interrupters and discontinuers, continuers had fewer emergency department visits, shorter hospital stays, and lower medical costs (continuers: $10,890, interrupters: $13,674, discontinuers: $13,021), but higher pharmacy costs (continuers: $7449, interrupters: $5239, discontinuers: $4857) in the first year post-index (p < 0.05 for all comparisons). Total healthcare costs were similar across the three cohorts. Findings for the second year post-index were similar. Conclusions The majority of people in this study interrupted or discontinued basal insulin treatment in the year after initiation; and incurred higher medical resource use and costs than continuers. The findings are limited to the commercially insured population in the US. In addition, persistence patterns were assessed using administrative claims as opposed to actual medication-taking behavior and did not account for measures of glycemic control. Further research is needed to understand the reasons behind basal insulin persistence and the implications thereof, to help clinicians manage care for T2DM more effectively.
Casimir recursion relations for general conformal blocks

description: We study the structure of series expansions of general spinning conformal blocks. We find that the terms in these expansions are naturally expressed by means of special functions related to matrix elements of Spin(d) representations in Gelfand-Tsetlin basis, of which the Gegenbauer polynomials are a special case. We study the properties of these functions and explain how they can be computed in practice. We show how the Casimir equation in Dolan-Osborn coordinates leads to a simple one-step recursion relation for the coefficients of the series expansion of general spinning conformal block. The form of this recursion relation is determined by 6j symbols of Spin(d-1). In particular, it can be written down in closed form in d=3, d=4, for seed blocks in general dimensions, or in any other situation when the required 6j symbols can be computed. We work out several explicit examples and briefly discuss how our recursion relation can be used for efficient numerical computation of general conformal blocks.

description: We present numerical evidence for the spontaneous breaking of the centre symmetry of four-dimensional twisted Eguchi-Kawai models with SU(N) gauge group and symmetric twist, for sufficiently large N. We find that for N greater or equal than 100 this occurs for a wide range of bare couplings. Moreover for N less or equal than 144, where we have been able to perform detailed calculations, there is no window of couplings where the physically interesting confined and deconfined phases appear in the reduced model. We provide a possible interpretation for this in terms of generalised 'fluxon' configurations. We discuss the implications of our findings for the validity and utility of space-time reduced models as N goes to infinity.

Bio-Fingerprinting applied to polysomnographs

Publisher: name: Scuola Universitaria della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI)

description: Polysomnography (PSG) is a multi-parametric test used in the study of sleep and as a diagnostic tool for sleep disorders. The first step in the quantitative analysis of polysomnographic recordings is the classification of sleep stages. It is possible to distinguish between wake, REM sleep, NREM sleep stages 1 to 4 and movement time. To classify sleep stages, it is important to identify where certain patterns occur, such as sleep spindles. A sleep spindle is an electroencephalography (EEG) pattern defined as a train of distinct waves with frequency 11–16 Hz (most commonly 12-14 Hz) with duration more or equal than 0.5 s. Spindles are a characteristic of stage 2 sleep as they define the transition from stage N1 (non-rapid eye movement, NREM1) to stage N2 (NREM2). Sleep stage scoring relies heavily on visual pattern recognition by a human expert and is time consuming and subjective. Thus, there is a need for automatic classification. Some automatic detectors already exist, but they are not accurate. The aim of this project is to demonstrate that the performance of an existent sleep-spindle detector can improve by modifying the algorithm so that it can be adapted to the characteristics of each patient. In this project some analysis has been performed, demonstrating that a detection spindle algorithm can be made customizable for each patient. For the patient on which I have tested the best method found, the F1-score has increased from 0.48, result of the initial algorithm, to 0.55, result using 20 spindles in input.

description: Abstract: "The objective of this paper is to show that many nonlinear models for batch design, which are based on the assumption of continuous sizes, can be reformulated as MILP problems when sizes are restricted to discrete values. Problems considered include multiproduct plants operating with single product and mixed product campaigns, and multipurpose plants with single and multiple production routes. It is shown that by exploiting the structure of these MILP problems, solutions can be obtained with modest computational effort. In addition, as opposed to the use of rounding schemes for continuous models, global optimum solutions are guaranteed."

description: Abstract: "This paper will attempt to show that one of the trends in the area of process synthesis is its gradual evolution towards the mathematical programming approach. This is in part due to the fundamental understanding that has been gained on the nature of the synthesis problems over the last twenty years. However, another major part has to do with the development of new and more powerful mathematical programming algorithms. In particular, the development of new MINLP algorithms, coupled with advances in computers and software, is opening promising possibilities to rigorously model, optimize and automate synthesis problems. A general overview of the MINLP approach and algorithms will be presented in this paper with the aim of gaining a basic understanding of these techniques.Strengths and weaknesses will be discussed, as well as difficulties and challenges that still need to be overcome. In particular, it will be shown how proper problem representations, effective modelling schemes and solution strategies can play a crucial role in the successful application of these techniques. The application of MINLP algorithms in process synthesis will be illustrated with several examples."

description: Abstract: "This paper addresses the problem of long range, multiproduct scheduling on continuous parallel production lines. This plant configuration is typically used in the manufacturing of specialty chemicals. The problem is modeled as a large-scale mixed integer nonlinear program (MINLP) and a reformulation technique is applied to linearize it in the space of the integer variables. The Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions are exploited in the resulting model in order to effectively apply Generalized Benders Decomposition. This avoids the explicit solution of extremely large nonlinear subproblems. At the same time, a computational scheme is proposed to strengthen the bounds of the master problem and therefore achieve fast convergence.The proposed technique was applied to a real world problem for a polymer production plant. The corresponding MINLP contained 780 binary variables, 23,000 continuous variables and 3,200 constraints."

description: A long duration gamma-ray burst, GRB 160530A, was detected by the Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) during the 2016 COSI Super Pressure Balloon campaign. As a Compton telescope, COSI is inherently sensitive to the polarization of gamma-ray sources in the energy range 0.2-5.0 MeV. We measured the polarization of GRB 160530A using 1) a standard method (SM) based on fitting the distribution of azimuthal scattering angles with a modulation curve, and 2) an unbinned, maximum likelihood method (MLM). In both cases, the measured polarization level was below the $99\%$ confidence minimum detectable polarization levels of $72.3 \pm 0.8\%$ (SM) and $57.5 \pm 0.8\%$ (MLM). Therefore, COSI did not detect polarized gamma-ray emission from this burst. Our most constraining $90\%$ confidence upper limit on the polarization level was $46\%$ (MLM).

description: This paper describes the development progress of high current superconducting RF linacs in Los Alamos, performed to support a design of the linac for the APT (Accelerator Production of Tritium) Project. The APT linac design includes a CW superconducting RF high energy section, spanning an energy range of 211 to 1030 MeV, and operating at a frequency of 700 MHz with two constant beta sections (beta of 0.64 and 0.82). In the last two years, we have progressed towards build a cryomodule with beta of 0.64. We completed the designs of the 5 cell superconducting cavities and the 210 kW power couplers. We are scheduled to begin assembly of the cryomodule in September 2000. In this paper, we present an overview of the status of our development efforts and a report on the results of the cavity and coupler test program.

Dark Energy and Inflation from Gravitational Waves

Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this seven-part paper, we show that gravitational waves (classical and quantum) produce the accelerated de Sitter expansion at the start and at the end of the cosmological evolution of the Universe. In these periods, the Universe contains no matter fields but contains classical and quantum metric fluctuations, i.e., it is filled with classical and quantum gravitational waves. In such evolution of the Universe, dominated by gravitational waves, the de Sitter state is the exact solution to the self-consistent equations for classical and quantum gravitational waves and background geometry for the empty space-time with FLRW metric. In both classical and quantum cases, this solution is of the instanton origin since it is obtained in the Euclidean space of imaginary time with the subsequent analytic continuation to real time. The cosmological acceleration from gravitational waves provides a transparent physical explanation to the coincidence, threshold and 'old cosmological constant' paradoxes of dark energy avoiding recourse to the anthropic principle. The cosmological acceleration from virtual gravitons at the start of the Universe evolution produces inflation, which is consistent with the observational data on CMB anisotropy. Section 1 is devoted to cosmological acceleration from classical gravitational waves. Section 2 is devoted to the theory of virtual gravitons in the Universe. Section 3 is devoted to cosmological acceleration from virtual gravitons. Section 4 discusses the consistency of the theory with observational data on dark energy and inflation. The discussion of mechanism of acceleration and cosmological scenario are contained in Sections 5 and 6. Appendix contains the theory of stochastic nonlinear gravitational waves of arbitrary wavelength and amplitude in an isotropic Universe.

description: Let $p$ be an odd prime number. We study the problem of determining the module structure over the mod $p$ Steenrod algebra $\mathcal A(p)$ of the Dickson algebra $D_n$ consisting of all modular invariants of general linear group $GL(n,\mathbb F_p)$. Here $\mathbb F_p$ denotes the prime field of $p$ elements. In this paper, we give an explicit answer for $n=2$. More precisely, we explicitly compute the action of the Steenrod-Milnor operations $St^{S,R}$ on the generators of $D_n$ for $n=2$ and for either $S=\emptyset, R=(i)$ or $S=(s), R=(i)$ with $s,i$ arbitrary nonnegative integers.

description: Enchodelus macrodorus (de Man, 1880) Thorne, 1939
♀ (n =47): L =0.90-1.32 mm; a =17-25; b =3.8-5.5; c =32-64; V = 45-52 %
♂ (n =19): L =0.94-l.22 mm; a:20-32; b =3.6-5.3; c =32-66
intersex: L =0.99 mm; a =21; b =3.9; c =37; V =51%
The characters of the population agree fairly well with the description provided by Thorne (1939). The odontostyle length ranges between 27 and 37 μm. Tail shape is also variable, from rounded-hemispherical to bluntly conoid. A great variability was found in the number and arrangement of the preanal rnidventral supplements in males. The number ranged from 7 to 11, but the most common was 10 or 11. Also the distribution pattern of supplements along the midventral line was very variable, since they were located at a distance from each other which was sometimes regular or regularly decreasing backward, other times highly irregular. 1 or 2 supplements, in addition to the adanal pair, were within the range of spicules.
 The male of E. macrodorus was described for the first time from Holland by de Man (1912), who pointed out the variability of the arrangement of supplements in different specimens. Thorne (1939) described one male (among 100 females) from Utah, which had 12 supplements regularly spaced, and expressed some doubts on the presumed variability showed by European males, suggesting that they might belong to different species. Males from Sardinia are conspecific beyond any doubt and confirm the great intraspecific variability of this character.

description: Six-line ferrihydrite(FH) nanoparticles have been synthesized in the core of reverse micelles, used as nanoreactors to obtain average particle sizes $$ $\approx$ 2 to 4 nm. The blocking temperatures $T_B^m$ extracted from magnetization data increased from $\approx 10$ to 20 K for increasing particle size. Low-temperature \MOS measurements allowed to observe the onset of differentiated contributions from particle core and surface as the particle size increases. The magnetic properties measured in the liquid state of the original emulsion showed that the \FH phase is not present in the liquid precursor, but precipitates in the micelle cores after the free water is freeze-dried. Systematic susceptibility $χ_{ac}(\emph{f},T)$ measurements showed the dependence of the effective magnetic anisotropy energies $E_{a}$ with particle volume, and yielded an effective anisotropy value of $K_{eff} = 312\pm10$ kJ/m$^3$.

description: It is shown that by reformulating the three-stage multiechelon inventory system with specific exact linearizations, larger problems can be solved directly with mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) without decomposition. The new formulation is significantly smaller in the number of continuous variables and constraints. An MILP underestimation of the problem can be solved as part of a sequential piecewise approximation scheme to solve the problem within a desired optimality gap.

description: Astrophysical polarization measurements in the soft gamma-ray band are becoming more feasible as detectors with high position and energy resolution are deployed. Previous work has shown that the minimum detectable polarization (MDP) of an ideal Compton polarimeter can be improved by $\sim 21\%$ when an unbinned, maximum likelihood method is used instead of the standard approach of fitting a sinusoid to a histogram of azimuthal scattering angles. Here we outline a procedure for implementing this maximum likelihood approach for real, non-ideal polarimeters. As an example, we use the recent observation of GRB 160530A with the Compton Spectrometer and Imager. We find that the MDP for this observation is reduced by $20\%$ when the maximum likelihood method is used instead of the standard method.

Spatial distribution of nuclei in progressive nucleation: modeling and application

description: Phase transformations ruled by non-simultaneous nucleation and growth do not lead to random distribution of nuclei. Since nucleation is only allowed in the untransformed portion of space, positions of nuclei are correlated. In this article an analytical approach is presented for computing pair-correlation function of nuclei in progressive nucleation. This quantity is further employed for characterizing the spatial distribution of nuclei through the nearest neighbor distribution function. The modeling is developed for nucleation in 2D space with power growth law and it is applied to describe electrochemical nucleation where correlation effects are significant. Comparison with both computer simulations and experimental data lends support to the model which gives insights into the transition from Poissonian to correlated nearest neighbor probability density.

L’accompagnamento al primo impiego: un quesito costante

description: Questa ricerca di tipo qualitativo si propone, attraverso l’intervista di cinque neodocenti con un anno di esperienza e di due direttori di isituti comunali, di capire quali siano le necessità e i bisogni dei neodocenti al primo impiego e come abbiano usufruito dei direttori e degli ispettori (attualmente accompagnatori ufficiali dei neodocenti) per risolvere le loro difficoltà durante il primo anno di insegnamento. Propone inoltre dei profili spontanei fatti dai neodocenti e dai direttori, indicanti quali caratteristiche dovrebbe avere l’accompagnatore ideale per il neodocente. Dalla ricerca emerge come i bisogni dei neodocenti siano variegati e dipendano da molti fattori quali la personalità dell’individuo, l’isituto in cui approda, il corpo docenti, ecc. Questa grande varietà di situazioni crea delle notevoli difficoltà al momento in cui si opera per creare un dispositivo di accompagnamento per i neodocenti al primo impiego. Nella maggioranza dei casi i neodocenti ricorrono ai colleghi di istituto, al direttore o all’ispettore per trovare in modo immediato l’aiuto necessario per gestire le proprie difficoltà, ma in alcuni casi vedrebbero di buon occhio la presenza di una persona neutra (senza compiti valutativi) incaricata di seguire il neodocente soprattutto in quei compiti che non è mai stato chiamato a svolgere durante la sua formazione di base (programmazione annuale, redazione dei giudizi, colloqui con i genitori) e per effettuare dei bilanci sul proprio operato.

description: Abstract: "In this paper we propose a method for the integrated scheduling and design for a special class of multipurpose batch processes. The type of plants considered are the ones where not all the products use the same processing stages, and manufacturing of the products can be characterized through production routes. A novel representation for cyclic schedules is proposed that has the effect of aggregating the number of batches for each product. It is shown that the no-wait characteristics of subtrains can be exploited with a reduction scheme that has the effect of greatly decreasing the dimensionality of the problem. This reduction scheme can be complemented with a tight formulation of the underlying disjunctions in the MILP to reduce the computational expense. The proposed MILP model for scheduling is extended to design problems in which the potential existence of intermediate storage in the production paths is also considered. In addition to the rigorous scheduling of the process, the sizes of the equipment constituting the various production stages are determined. By using exact linearization schemes it is shown that the problem can be reformulated as an MILP model and solved rigorously to global optimality. Application of the proposed model is illustrated with several example problems."
A comparison of central temperatures of the intracluster gas determined from X-ray and SZ measurements

description: A combination of the X-ray imaging and SZ measurements of clusters permits an indirect determination of the radial temperature profiles of intracluster gas, which requires no assumption about the dynamical properties and the equation of state for clusters. A comparison of such a derived gas temperature with that given by the X-ray spectral analysis constitutes an effective probe of properties of intracluster gas. Using the available data of 31 clusters in literature, we have performed the first comparison of the central gas temperatures provided by the two methods. The good agreement between these two independent temperature estimates suggests that the distribution of intracluster gas is essentially consistent with isothermality characterized by a mean polytropic index of gamma=0.9+-0.1.

description: Nel corso di questo progetto di laurea sono state studiate e analizzate le reti neurali classiche [NN] e quelle probabilistiche [BNN]. In particolare, al fine di stabilire quando è più vantaggioso usare le BNN rispetto alle NN, è stato analizzato il comportamento di queste due reti nella risoluzione di un problema di classificazione e nella valutazione dell’incertezza. Per fare ciò sono stati risolti due problemi di classificazione sui dataset: mnist: raccolta di cifre decimali scritte a mano e scansionate in bitmap con una risoluzione di 28x28, darpa: raccolta di risorse utilizzate dai principali attacchi informatici. Dopo aver valutato l’accuratezza delle due reti (sia NN che BNN), si è valutato il loro comportamento quando vengono commessi errori di classificazione, analizzando gli output delle istanze classificate in modo errato. Sono state tratte infine delle conclusioni sull’attività delle reti probabilistiche.

description: The excited conduction electrons, conduction holes and valence holes in monolayer germanene exhibit the feature-rich Coulomb decay rates. The dexcitation processes are studied using the Matsubara's screened exchange energy. They might utilize the intraband single-particle excitations (SPEs), the interband SPEs, and three kinds of plasmon modes, depending on the quasiparticle states and the Fermi energies. The low-lying valence holes can decay by the undamped acoustic plasmon, so that they present very fast Coulomb deexcitations, the non-monotonous energy dependence and the anisotropic behavior. However, the low-energy conduction holes and electrons behave as 2D electron gas. The high-energy conduction states and the deep-energy valence ones are similar in the available deexcitation channels and the dependence of decay rate on wave vector k.

description: Lepidophtalmus siriboia density
The mean burrow density, including both areas, was 31.7 ± 34.1 burrows.m −2 and there were significant differences between areas (F (1, 238) = 25.66; p <0.001) and between intertidal zones (F(1, 238) = 114.85; p <0.001), with interaction between factors (F(1, 238) = 7.76; p <0.001). In general, higher densities were recorded at Area 1 in LT (86.17 ± 41.3 burrows.m −2). Except for the HT zone (where no burrows were found in both areas), the intertidal zones of Area 1 have higher burrow densities than those of Area 1 (Figure 3). However, the two areas have similar patterns of distribution of burrow-density increases towards the sea (Figure 3).
CS: coarse sand; MS: medium sand; FS: fine sand; VFS: very fine sand; M.Sorted: moderately sorted.
 The best-fitting regression model to explain the variation spatial of L. siriboia included the grain size and proportions of finer (silt + clay) (Table 2). A negative relationship was observed between the grain size and density of L. siriboia burrows. By contrast, the density of shrimp burrows increased with an increasing percentage of finer sediment (silt and clay).

description: A variable residence time thermodenuder (TD) was combined with an Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) and a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) to measure the volatility distribution of aged organic aerosol in the Eastern Mediterranean during the Finokalia Aerosol Measurement Experiment in May of 2008 (FAME-2008). A new method for the quantification of the organic aerosol volatility distribution was developed combining measurements of all three instruments together with an aerosol dynamics model. Challenges in the interpretation of ambient thermodenuder-AMS measurements include the potential resistances to mass transfer during particle evaporation, the effects of particle size on the evaporated mass fraction, the changes in the AMS collection efficiency and particle density as the particles evaporate partially in the TD, and finally potential losses inside the TD. Our proposed measurement and data analysis method accounts for all of these problems combining the AMS and SMPS measurements. The AMS collection efficiency of the aerosol that passed through the TD was found to be approximately 10% lower than the collection efficiency of the aerosol that passed through the bypass. The organic aerosol measured at Finokalia is approximately 2 or more orders of magnitude less volatile than fresh laboratory-generated monoterpene (α-pinene, β-pinene and limonene under low NOx conditions) secondary organic aerosol. This low volatility is consistent with its highly oxygenated AMS mass spectrum. The results are found to be highly sensitive to the mass accommodation coefficient of the evaporating species. This analysis is based on the assumption that there were no significant reactions taking place inside the thermodenuder.

description: We report on the design and first year of operations of the DEdicated MONitor of EXotransits and Transients (DEMONEXT). DEMONEXT is a 20 inch (0.5-m) robotic telescope using a PlaneWave CDK20 telescope on a Mathis instruments MI-750/1000 fork mount. DEMONEXT is equipped with a $2048\times2048$ pixel Finger Lakes Instruments (FLI) detector, a 10-position filter wheel with an electronic focuser and $B$, $V$, $R$, $I$, $g'$, $r'$, $i'$, $z'$, and clear filters. DEMONEXT operates in a continuous observing mode and achieves 2-4 mmag raw, unbinned, precision on bright $V<13$ targets with 20-120 second exposures, and 1 mmag precision achieved by binning on 5-6 minute timescales. DEMONEXT maintains sub-pixel ($<0.5$ pixels) target position stability on the CCD over 8 hours in good observing conditions, with degraded performance in poor weather ($<1$ pixel). DEMONEXT achieves 1-10% photometry on single-epoch targets with $V<17$ in 5 minute exposures, with detection thresholds of $V\approx21$. The DEMONEXT automated software has produced 143 planetary candidate transit light curves for the KELT collaboration, and 48 supernovae and transient light curves for the ASAS-SN supernovae group in the first year of operation. DEMONEXT has also observed for a number of ancillary science projects including Galactic microlensing, active galactic nuclei, stellar variability, and stellar rotation.
