In recent years, extreme events such as droughts, wildfires, polar vortex, hurricanes, and cyberattacks have caused stressful conditions and even catastrophic failures of energy systems. Meanwhile, machine learning has been applied in many areas in power systems to address challenges which were difficult to solve in the past. This panel will focus on the application and feasibility of machine learning techniques to address extreme events from modeling, analysis, and mitigation perspectives to enhance power grid resilience. The topics in this panel include all participants in power system operation and planning, including but not limited to generation, transmission, distribution, microgrid, and customers.
Presentations in this panel session:
- Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based On-Line Dynamic Multi-Microgrid Formation to Enhance Resilience (23PESGM0849)
- Data-Driven Modeling and Assessment of Outage and Resilience in Distribution Grids (23PESGM0852)

description: We capture the off-shell as well as the on-shell nilpotent Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and anti-BRST symmetry invariance of the Lagrangian densities of the four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) (non-)Abelian 1-form gauge theories within the framework of the superfield formalism. In particular, we provide the geometrical interpretations for (i) the above nilpotent symmetry invariance, and (ii) the above Lagrangian densities, in the language of the specific quantities defined in the domain of the above superfield formalism. Some of the subtle points, connected with the 4D (non-)Abelian 1-form gauge theories, are clarified within the framework of the above superfield formalism where the 4D ordinary gauge theories are considered on the (4, 2)-dimensional supermanifold parametrized by the four spacetime coordinates x^μ(with μ= 0, 1, 2, 3) and a pair of Grassmannian variables θand \barθ. One of the key results of our present investigation is a great deal of simplification in the geometrical understanding of the nilpotent (anti-)BRST symmetry invariance.

Publisher: name: IEEE
Year: 2023

The uptake of residential and commercial solar photovoltaic systems, batteries and electric vehicles continues to grow around the world. These technologies, known as Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), are also creating opportunities for their owners to provide services to the system operator through aggregators (now allowed across the US thanks to the FERC order 2222). However, as the volume of DERs providing services increases, it is important to ensure the integrity of the poles and wires that connect our houses and businesses. To achieve this, the use of Operating Envelopes, i.e., the use of time-varying export and import limits at the connection point of customers, is a concept being tested in countries such as the US and Australia. This panel will provide insights and discuss the challenges associated with the corresponding calculations, modeling aspects, and implementation of Operating Envelopes by distribution companies.
Presentations in this panel session:

description: Discrete dissipative coupled systems exhibit complex behavior such as chaos, spatiotemporal intermittence, chimera among others. We construct and investigate chimera states, in the form of confined stationary and dynamical states in a chain of parametrically driven sites with onsite damping and cubic nonlinearity. The system is modeled by the respective discrete parametrically driven damped nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Chimeras feature quasi-periodic or chaotic dynamic in the filled area, quantified by time dependence of the total norm (along with its power spectrum), and by the largest Lyapunov exponent. Systematic numerical simulations, in combination with some analytical results, reveal regions in the parameter space populated by stable localized states of different types. A phase transition from the stationary disorder states to spatially confined dynamical chaotic one is identified. Essential parameters of the system are the strength and detuning of the forcing, as well as the lattice's coupling constant.

description: The P4 language has drastically changed the networking field as it allows to quickly describe and implement new networking applications. Although a large variety of applications can be described with the P4 language, current programmable switch architectures impose significant constraints on P4 programs. To address this shortcoming, FPGAs have been explored as potential targets for P4 applications. P4 applications are described using three abstractions: a packet parser, match-action tables, and a packet deparser, which reassembles the output packet with the result of the match-action tables. While implementations of packet parsers and match-action tables on FPGAs have been widely covered in the literature, no general design principles have been presented for the packet deparser. Indeed, implementing a high-speed and efficient deparser on FPGAs remains an open issue because it requires a large amount of interconnections and the architecture must be tailored to a P4 program. As a result, in several works where a P4 application is implemented on FPGAs, the deparser consumes a significant proportion of chip resources. Hence, in this paper, we address this issue by presenting design principles for efficient and high-speed deparsers on FPGAs. As an artifact, we introduce a tool that generates an efficient vendor-agnostic deparser architecture from a P4 program. Our design has been validated and simulated with a cocotb-based framework. The resulting architecture is implemented on Xilinx Ultrascale+ FPGAs and supports a throughput of more than 200 Gbps while reducing resource usage by almost 10$\times$ compared to other solutions.

description: BACKGROUND: Shipworms are marine xylophagus bivalve molluscs, which can live on a diet solely of wood due to their ability to produce plant cell wall-degrading enzymes. Bacterial carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), synthesised by endosymbionts living in specialised shipworm cells called bacteriocytes and located in the animal's gills, play an important role in wood digestion in shipworms. However, the main site of lignocellulose digestion within these wood-boring molluscs, which contains both endogenous lignocellulolytic enzymes and prokaryotic enzymes, is the caecum, and the mechanism by which bacterial enzymes reach the distant caecum lumen has remained so far mysterious. Here, we provide a characterisation of the path through which bacterial CAZymes produced in the gills of the shipworm Lyrodus pedicellatus reach the distant caecum to contribute to the digestion of wood. RESULTS: Through a combination of transcriptomics, proteomics, X-ray microtomography, electron microscopy studies and in vitro biochemical characterisation, we show that wood-digesting enzymes produced by symbiotic bacteria are localised not only in the gills, but also in the lumen of the food groove, a stream of mucus secreted by gill cells that carries food particles trapped by filter feeding to the mouth. Bacterial CAZymes are also present in the crystalline style and in the caecum of their shipworm host, suggesting a unique pathway by which enzymes involved in a symbiotic interaction are transported to their site of action. Finally, we characterise in vitro four new bacterial glycosyl hydrolases and a lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase identified in our transcriptomic and proteomic analyses as some of the major bacterial enzymes involved in this unusual biological system. CONCLUSION: Based on our data, we propose that bacteria and their enzymes are transported from the gills along the food groove to the shipworm's mouth and digestive tract, where they aid in wood digestion.

description: Data suggest that most rocky exoplanets with orbital period $p$ $$10. These atmospheres form during the planets' evolution from sub-Neptunes into rocky exoplanets. H$_2$O that is made by reduction of iron oxides in the silicate magma is highly soluble in the magma, forming a dissolved reservoir that is protected from loss so long as the H$_2$-dominated atmosphere persists. The large size of the dissolved reservoir buffers the H$_2$O atmosphere against loss after the H$_2$ has dispersed. Within our model, a long-lived, water-dominated atmosphere is a common outcome for efficient interaction between a nebula-derived atmosphere (peak atmosphere mass fraction 0.1-0.6 wt%) and oxidized magma ($>$5 wt% FeO), followed by atmospheric loss. This idea predicts that most rocky planets that have orbital periods of 10-100 days and that have radii within 0.1-0.2 $R_{Earth}$ of the lower edge of the radius valley still retain H$_2$O atmospheres. This prediction is imminently testable with JWST and has implications for the interpretation of data for transiting super-Earths.

description: Recently, the relation between Hawking radiation and gravitational anomalies has been used to estimate the flux of Hawking radiation for a large class of black objects. In this paper, we extend the formalism, originally proposed by Robinson and Wilczek, to the Hawking radiation of vector particles (photons). It is explicitly shown, with Hamiltonian formalism, that the theory of an electromagnetic field on d-dimensional spherical black holes reduces to one of an infinite number of massive complex scalar fields on 2-dimensional spacetime, for which the usual anomaly-cancellation method is available. It is found that the total energy emitted from the horizon for the electromagnetic field is just (d-2) times as that for a scalar field. The results support the picture that Hawking radiation can be regarded as an anomaly eliminator on horizons. Possible extensions and applications of the analysis are discussed.

It Was Just a Joke. Demagoguery, Humor, and Video Game Streaming

description: Video game communities and fandoms have been a breeding ground for hate speech and neo-fascist ideology. In 2017, the most popular YouTuber at the time, PewDiePie, used a racial slur during a stream, apologized, and obfuscated the racism of the moment by calling it a joke. Other personalities like streamer Dr. DisRespect have faced little-to-no backlash for using similar racist slurs. Massive fan support from across the internet has insulated these, and similar gaming content creators, from consequences for their behavior because they embody the ideologies of these fans. These communities have relied on establishing in and out groups. Typically, these in an out groups position white, straight, males as the primary in group within the streamer communities. Using Roberts-Miller’s (2017) definition of demagoguery, we demonstrate that streaming communities promote demagoguery and anti-democratic communication. Through an analysis of problematic humor used by PewDiePie and Dr. DisRespect and their response to the fallout, we argue that humor often functions as a rhetorical shield against criticism and further entrenches the troubling political trends found within many of these fan groups.

Interpersonal functional flexibility : an antecedent of authoritative parenting?
Creators: name: Van Oeveren, Margaret Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: It has been asserted that androgynous individuals are both competent and flexible and that, as such, they should be most likely to be authoritative parents (highly demanding/highly responsive) (Spence & Helmreich, 1978). However, studies examining the association between psychological androgyny and this optimal parenting strategy (Baumrind, 1982; Spence & Helmreich, 1978) have reached conflicting conclusions. The position taken in this study is that there is a logical association between androgyny and authoritative parenting at the construct level, but that the component of androgyny critical to this link is functional flexibility (the ability to appropriately deploy both masculine and feminine attributes across multi-interpersonal domains) rather than the simple possession of both masculine and feminine traits per se. In view of this argument, earlier studies share a significant limitation. Their operational definitions of androgyny fail to reflect the functional flexibility aspect of the construct definition, thus allowing individuals who possess both masculine and feminine traits but who are not functionally flexible to be classified as androgynous. This study had two objectives. The first was to retest Spence and Helmreich's (1978) hypothesis that androgyny is positively related to authoritative parenting using a measure which would assess functional flexibility. The second objective was to demonstrate that authoritative parenting requires flexibility with respect to a whole range of interpersonal abilities rather than simply masculine and feminine attributes. A sample of 96 mothers with children between the ages of 7 and 12 were asked to complete a battery of questionnaires which included Bern's (1974) Sex Role Inventory (BSRI), Paulhus and Martin's (1987) Battery of Interpersonal Capabilities (BIC), and the Block (1965) Childrearing Practices Report: Q-Sort (CRPR). Contrary to what was expected, neither androgyny nor flexibility with respect to the whole range of interpersonal attributes was positively associated with authoritative parenting. Certain problems with the content of the parenting measure may have contributed to the lack of association. To minimize some of the problems with its content the method of using the parenting Q-sort was revised. The new analyses involved categorizing mothers according to warmth and demandingness--a method similar to that used in earlier studies. In these further analyses few significant differences in parenting style were found between androgynous mothers and other mothers. The most notable difference arose when the sex of the child was considered. Although, overall, androgynous mothers were not more likely to be bad parents, they were more likely than other mothers to be permissive with their sons.
Autocracy for the People. Modes of response-able Action and the Management of Demise in Frostpunk
Creators: name: Lars, Dolkemeyer
Publisher: name: gamevironments
Year: 2020

description: In the post-apocalyptic construction simulation Frostpunk (2018) two modes of action are confronted with each other. On the one hand, the player-leaders’ decisions concern their people. The players are, in Donna Haraway’s terms, response-able for and to the survivors of a global climate collapse in a situation of co-presently “living-with and dying-with each other” (Haraway 2016, 2). The complex interdependence of social conditions and player choices in Frostpunk thus problematises any notion of winning. What is at stake is the possibility of forming a community itself by acting precisely as that community, experienced through simultaneously sharing and leading it. The second mode of action lies in the decisions that oppose the perceived well-being of the community: The players are forced to manage an inevitable demise by constructing buildings, saving resources, and advancing technologies in view of the next drop in temperatures or the next storm that will deplete all depots and diminish hope. Departing from the modes of similar dictatorship simulations, Frostpunk reconfigures the genre’s autocratic gameplay (Dor 2018, Wiemer 2008, 2012) to open new political perspectives.

Paradise Lost: Value Formations as an Analytical Concept for the Study of Gamevironments

Year: 2020

description: This article argues that researchers of religion and video gaming, including but not limited to gamevironments, should now leave their initial use of the category of religion behind. While religion might work for interpreting explicit religious elements in the content of a video game, it misses the majority of underlying or implicit religious topics within the game and gameplay as well as the surrounding media platforms. We argue that value formations rather than religion, is a better analytic category to understand how gamevironments generate meaning and reflect or undermine broader social and cultural discourses and how this is connected to religion. Value formation indicates the collections and systematization of interdependent and entangled values, which are the production, product, and reproduction of values. Our concept of value formations derives from a social-constructivist approach, which understands values not as timeless, essential, universal or static, but rather as constructed by specific social locations. Values are therefore discourses and practices that are constantly (re)defined and (re)negotiated by competing actors according to time, context, and skill. These actors can be individual persons, groups, or organizations. In contrast to a normative or critical perspective, our goal is not to evaluate these values, but rather analyze how the different individual and collective actors (re)define and understand something as value. To support our argument, this article analyses three case studies. First, we describe our case study, the gamevironments of Far Cry 5’s mission Paradise Lost (2018). Second, we offer a theory of value formations, which gives a working definition, a short genealogy, as well as relates value to the concepts of ethics, aesthetics, and norms. Third, we put these to work by investigating value formations in Far Cry 5’s gamevironments, which include both its gameplay as well as peripheral media platforms. We conclude by outlining how the concept of value formations adds to the study of video games overall and gamevironments particularly

The role of social standards, self-efficacy, and social feedback in social anxiety
Creators: name: Wallace, Scott Taylor
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The present study was conducted to examine the self-reported social standards of socially efficacious and non-efficacious individuals. Converging evidence from different research domains, including studies on self-attentional processes and standard-setting in performance motivation, suggests that the socially anxious person may have standards for him or herself that are beyond that person's perceived abilities; alternatively, standards may be so high that they are beyond the reach of even the most socially confident person. Ninety-six male undergraduate students were dichotomized into low and high social-efficacy groups on the basis of their response to a measure of self-efficacy and anxiety in social situations. The subjects were told they would be interacting with a female research assistant in order to practice before meeting another subject. The success of the practice interaction was manipulated by varying the assistant's behavior and feedback by the experimenter so that subjects believed they handled the conversation well or not well; a third condition was included with no feedback. Subjects were asked to rate their standards using a visual scale that displayed different levels of social interaction. The standards rated were: (1) the level of interaction that they consider successful, (2) the level of interaction that they would be happy with, (3) the level of interaction they think the experimenter wants, and (4) the level of a typical interaction. Additional measures were included to assess other aspects of standard and to determine the success of the manipulations. The results revealed that there is a consensus among high and low social-efficacy persons of what constitutes a successful interaction. The distinguishing feature appeared to be what level of interaction high and low efficacy persons are happy with and the level of interaction they felt capable of achieving. Low efficacy subjects had lower expectations and lower minimum goals of satisfaction whereas high efficacy subjects expected to achieve a level of interaction at least as high as their personal standard and beyond the level that they thought most others achieve. Further, when the interaction was successful, high efficacy subjects thought the situation demanded a lower level of interaction than they were capable of; low efficacy subjects, given the same successful experience, reported the demands of the situation to be higher than they felt capable of. The results hint at a dysfunctional standard-setting process in socially anxious persons whereby success is interpreted in a manner that may maintain anxiety. The implications that these results have for the treatment of shyness, and future directions for research on standard-setting are discussed.

HyCRISTAL

description: These stories describe three possible futures for rural East Africa in 2050. How the climate will change in the coming decades is uncertain, so three different plausible futures are included to demonstrate this range. These futures do not cover every possible outcome projected by climate models. The stories also describe some of the resulting impacts that could be experienced in rural areas. However, these impacts will vary across the region due to a range of local factors.

Decarbonization is driving the electrification, decentralization and digitalization of power grids. The complexity of grid operation with DERs, e-mobility, prosumers and the large number of large to small-sized batteries, requires an automated support of the operators and an autonomous operation of at least parts of the electrical power system. The session will present innovative approaches and practical examples of different levels of automation, from assistant systems to autonomous operation.

Stability-constrained System Scheduling for Future Power Systems with High Penetration of IBRs
Creators: A. Enas
Publisher: name: IEEE
Year: 2023

Power system scheduling traditionally concerns economic optimization in the steady state of the power system, which is also commonly known as the security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) and Economic Dispatch (ED). However, with the growing penetration of inverter-based resources, steady-state-only generation scheduling may impose a significant challenge in maintaining power system stability. In consequence, it becomes necessary to integrate the stability constraints (i.e. voltage stability, frequency stability, and rotor angle stability) into power system scheduling to balance steady-state operation and system dynamic performance. This panel aims to bring in the latest development of stability-constrained system scheduling and identify the key barriers to the implementation of such methods in the industry.

description: Dream a Game. Dreams as Interactive-Narrative Devices in Digital Games Abstract: In this article, the author investigates the position, characteristics and functions of dreams and dreamlike phenomena in digital games. The author situates his own research within the broader field of academic disciplines that have studied dreams, their meaning and their interpretations in general (psychodynamic, activation-input-modulation, neurocognitive, and esoteric), and especially within the domain of literary studies, which study dreams in texts as literary devices. He provides four characteristics (experience, entrance, exit, and mode of inducement) and two functions (ludological training and narratological revelation) of dreamish phenomena in digital narratives/games. At the end, the author focusses on the necessary lucid characteristic of digital dreams, due to the – also necessary – interactive nature of the digital medium itself

Littlewood-Richardson polynomials

description: We introduce a family of rings of symmetric functions depending on an infinite sequence of parameters. A distinguished basis of such a ring is comprised by analogues of the Schur functions. The corresponding structure coefficients are polynomials in the parameters which we call the Littlewood-Richardson polynomials. We give a combinatorial rule for their calculation by modifying an earlier result of B. Sagan and the author. The new rule provides a formula for these polynomials which is manifestly positive in the sense of W. Graham. We apply this formula for the calculation of the product of equivariant Schubert classes on Grassmannians which implies a stability property of the structure coefficients. The first manifestly positive formula for such an expansion was given by A. Knutson and T. Tao by using combinatorics of puzzles while the stability property was not apparent from that formula. We also use the Littlewood-Richardson polynomials to describe the multiplication rule in the algebra of the Casimir elements for the general linear Lie algebra in the basis of the quantum immanants constructed by A. Okounkov and G. Olshanski.

description: The study of hybrid modes in a single dimer of neighboring antennas is an essential step to optimize the far-field electromagnetic (EM) response of large-scale metasurfaces or any complex antenna structure made up of subwavelength building blocks. Here we present far-field infrared spatial modulation spectroscopy (IR-SMS) measurements of a single thermally excited asymmetric dimer of square metal-insulator-metal (MIM) antennas separated by a nanometric gap. Through thermal fluctuations, all the EM modes of the antennas are excited and hybrid bonding and antibonding modes can be observed simultaneously. We study the latter within a plasmon hybridization model, and analyse their effect on the far-field response.
