description: Neositta pileata subleucoptera Mathews Neositta pileata subleucoptera Mathews, 1912a: 380 (Northern Territory (Alexandra)). Now Daphoenositta chrysoptera leucoptera (Gould, 1840). See Mayr, 1950: 288, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 428–430, and Noske, 2007a: 640–641. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 684361, adult male, collected at Alexandria (5 Alexandra), 19.00S, 136.42E (Times Atlas), Buchanan [River], Northern Territory, Australia, in May 1905. From the Mathews Collection (no. 2776) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of subleucoptera as Northern Territory. He misspelled the type locality and did not mention Buchanan, which appears on the label. This is probably the Buchanan River, which is near Alexandria. The incorrect spelling was copied in Greenway (1967a: 147). Only one other Mathews specimen was cataloged early enough to be considered a paratype: AMNH 684362 (Mathews no. 2775), unsexed, collected at Alexandria in May 1905 by W. Stalker. Specimens collected by Knut Dahl in nearby Arnhem Land were not cataloged until after the publication of subleucoptera and J.T. Tunney specimens were never in the Mathews Collection.

description: The increase of solar Photovoltaic (PV) applications day by day has promoted the innovative design of new type of solar cells and modules. Especially regarding Building Integration PV(BIPV) systems, lots of great advances have been made recently, particularly in new inverter topologies and topics related with aesthetic concepts of PV modules. Anyway, the especial working conditions of BIPV systems, due to different orientations and inclinations, shadows, reflections, dirtiness, etc. cause serious energetic losses and expensive maintenance costs. Some of these peculiarities are intrinsic to BIPV systems and can not disappear, but can be minimized using distributed intelligent architectures. The current work summarises ROBOTIKER-TECNALIA’s final work in this field: System Monitoring, Diagnosis and Maintenance Software. This application is continuously monitoring, storing all the PV system data and executing automatically failure detection and identification algorithms, optimizing the operation of BIPV systems.

description: As colleges moved to online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic, many instructors found it difficult to maintain student engagement and classroom community in the virtual environment. We developed a semester-long activity for a molecular biology research methodology course where students created, and shared original memes related to course content with peers through group chat. Surveys and semi-structured interviews revealed that the exercise was effective in promoting student engagement, a sense of community, and relieving stress.

description: We study systems of parameters over finite fields from a probabilistic perspective, and use this to give the first effective Noether normalization result over a finite field. Our central technique is an adaptation of Poonen's closed point sieve, where we sieve over higher dimensional subvarieties, and we express the desired probabilities via a zeta function-like power series that enumerates higher dimensional varieties instead of closed points. This also yields a new proof of a recent result of Gabber-Liu-Lorenzini and Chinburg-Moret-Bailly-Pappas-Taylor on Noether normalizations of projective families over the integers.

description: Typically a power plant includes several measuring and control systems from different vendors based on proprietary technology. The integration of these equipments is a complex task and the simplest modification or upgrade requires a lot of effort and time. However, this integration is essential to allow a centralized control and rapid reaction on faults. On the other hand, the same owner could have a conglomerate of different geographically distributed power plants and could want to monitor all of them in a unified way. The solution presented in this paper is based on an open standard technology called OPC widely used in process control industry. OPC unify several communication protocols like OPC-DA, OPC-HDA, OPC-AE and others. A programming framework using these protocols has been developed and now it is possible to get a remote application for monitoring a power plant in a very little time, obtaining a unified and comprehensive view of the system. This approach has been successfully applied with the aim of monitoring some photovoltaic power plants providing a set of extra features that allows data logging and posterior analysis of data for detecting anomalous behavior in the plant for raising an alarm to maintenance staff.
Application and evaluation of a subaqueous soil-landscape conceptual model in the West River subestuary, Maryland

description: A soil-landscape conceptual model developed in the Rhode River subestuary of Maryland was applied to create a soil survey for the adjacent West River subestuary. The survey for the West River subestuary was completed before samples were collected there to evaluate the soil-landscape conceptual model used to generate the soil survey. The West River subestuary was then sampled along transects that crossed soil map units to compare observed soil taxa with predicted soil taxa. Observed transect samples were classified and scored based on their similarity to predicted taxa in soil map units. These data were resampled via a bootstrapping method to determine if the predictions of the West River subestuary soil survey were significantly different from random predictions. Significant information was provided by the survey, and therefore by the soil-landscape conceptual model used to generate it.

description: The development of photovoltaic panels is mainly due to the growing part of the thin films, silicon based as well as CdTe and GIS. The photovoltaic cells are built with multilayers which are deposited by different processes, dry or wet. The material composition and the thickness of the layers constituting the stack must be chosen carefully for the optimum efficiency, process windows, cost and lifetime. The characterization and optimization of the thickness and interlayers are needed to enhance the performances of the process. The control with optical techniques of the multilayer along the fabrication enables to guaranty a stability of the results.

description: Markovian reservoir engineering, in which time evolution of a quantum system is governed by a Lindblad master equation, is a powerful technique in studies of quantum phases of matter and quantum information. It can be used to drive a quantum system to a desired (unique) steady state, which can be an exotic phase of matter difficult to stabilize in nature. It can also be used to drive a system to a unitarily-evolving subspace, which can be used to store, protect, and process quantum information. In this paper, we derive a formula for the map corresponding to asymptotic (infinite-time) Lindbladian evolution and use it to study several important features of the unique state and subspace cases. We quantify how subspaces retain information about initial states and show how to use Lindbladians to simulate any quantum channels. We show that the quantum information in all subspaces can be successfully manipulated by small Hamiltonian perturbations, jump operator perturbations, or adiabatic deformations. We provide a Lindblad-induced notion of distance between adiabatically connected subspaces. We derive a Kubo formula governing linear response of subspaces to time-dependent Hamiltonian perturbations and determine cases in which this formula reduces to a Hamiltonian-based Kubo formula. As an application, we show that (for gapped systems) the zero-frequency Hall conductivity is unaffected by many types of Markovian dissipation. Finally, we show that the energy scale governing leakage out of the subspaces, resulting from either Hamiltonian/jump-operator perturbations or corrections to adiabatic evolution, is different from the conventional Lindbladian dissipative gap and, in certain cases, is equivalent to the excitation gap of a related Hamiltonian.

description: The absorption properties of silicon nanocrystals (Si-nc) with different sizes ranging from 4.5 to 3.2 nm embedded in silicon nitride matrix have been studied in the energy range 1.5-5 eV with spectroscopic ellipsometry. The influence of the Si-nc size on the proper absorption coefficient of Si-nc (aSi-nc) has been
investigated. It was shown that the aSi-nc decreases when the Si-nc becomes smaller. The evolution of the direct energy gaps of Si-nc with their size is also discussed.

description: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) predominantly causes acute liver disease in humans and is transmitted via the fecal-oral route. HEV infection in pregnant women can result in grave consequences, with up to 30% fatality. The HEV strains infecting humans mainly belong to four genotypes. Genotypes 1 and 2 are restricted to human infection, while genotypes 3 and 4 are zoonotic. HEV genotype 3 (HEV-3) can cause both acute and chronic liver disease. Several cell lines (mainly hepatocytes) have been developed for HEV propagation and biological study. However, HEV production in these cell lines is suboptimal and inefficient. Here, we present methods for the isolation, propagation, and quantification of HEV. © 2023 The Authors. Current Protocols published by Wiley Periodicals LLC.

description: The nuclear matrix elements for the momentum quadrupole operator are important for the interpretation of precision atomic physics experiments that search for violations of local Lorentz and CPT symmetry and for new spin-dependent forces. We use the configuration-interaction nuclear shell model and self-consistent mean field theory to calculate these matrix elements in $^{21}$Ne, $^{23}$Na, $^{131}$Xe, $^{173}$Yb and $^{201}$Hg. These are the first microscopic calculations of the nuclear matrix elements for the momentum quadrupole tensor that go beyond the single-particle estimate. We show that they are strongly suppressed by the many-body correlations, in contrast to the well known enhancement of the spatial quadrupole nuclear matrix elements.

description: The concept of Solar Mobility consists of making the maximum use of the synergy of the fluctuating energy flow of PV systems and the grid coupled storage inherent to electrical cars. This paper shows that this concept
does make sense and that negative impacts on the electricity grid due to massive penetration of PV systems and massive demand form electrical vehicles can be balanced. It is the energy management system which has to assure this balance. This paper presents a simple tool to evaluate the grid impact of the energy management strategy, which has to be designed considering a global vision taking into account the state of the electricity grid, the state of charge of the vehicles, and the state of the PV production .For demonstration, a sample strategy is simulated as a real case on the INES microgrid.
Capital deprivation, assets, and the Universal Child Allowance for Social Protection in a Paraná slum, Argentina
Creators: name: Dapuez, Andrés
Publisher: name: Wiley
Year: 2022

description: In this article, I describe a case in which a mother and her son, while discussing what they perceive to be the purpose of the Argentinian conditional cash transfer programme known as the ‘Universal Child Allowance for Social Protection’, also project different economic returns for the son's future. The decisions they make contradict the ultimate purpose of this policy: to accumulate human capital in the recipient through formal education. The young man's abandonment of secondary school and his entry into the informal labour market trigger different reflections on his future for mother and son. Despite the fact that both project future returns for investing the money, the mother, acting as administrator of the programme, reproduces state-driven processes of capital deprivation at the expense of her son's human capital.

description: CRIEPI is promoting a study of future power system called Triple I (Intelligent, Interactive, Integrated) Power System (TIPS). In the study, Autonomous Demand Area Power System (ADAPS) proposed as a new concept of future
distribution system to cope with the large penetration of PV system is being developed in order to keep power quality, safety and stability of the grid. In the study a new low cost supply and demand control technique for leveling power flow in the ADAPS to restrain voltage fluctuation, line power loss and the reverse power flow to the upper system is investigated focusing on load control in addition to storage battery. A new basic operation technique of load and storage battery in customer having PV system using weather forecast and load profile is designed. As the results of a basic simulation, if the hot water supply system with storage is used, required storage battery capacity reduces remarkably to less than 75%.

description: The main goal of this paper is to describe and analyze the performance of the first grid-connected PV system installed in the Brazilian Amazon Region. The Building Integrated Photovoltaic System (BIPV) is working since December 2007 and is located in the city of Belém, State of Pará-Brazil. The system analyzed here was installed at GEDAE’s new laboratory for renewable energy and energy efficiency, which was developed using concepts of bioclimatic architecture, energy efficiency and renewable energy generation. The building is in the second part of its construction phase. The system is composed of a 2.5 kW inverter and a 1.575 kWp PV generator. The paper presents some electricity production results obtained from the operation of this system. These results contribute to minimize the lack of operational information about grid-connected PV systems in this region, since all the other grid-connected systems in Brazil are located in the southern, southeastern or northeastern regions.

description: The quantitative interpretation of a Light Beam Induced Current (LBIC) contrast profile (LBIC signal normalized to the signal infinitely far from the grain boundary) of a Grain Boundary (GB) allows the estimation of the
diffusion length in the neighboring grains (left grain L1, right grain L2,) as well as the recombination strength of the GB characterized by its equivalent Surface Recombination Velocity (SRV) vs. The quantitative evaluation of L1, L2 and vs is very useful regarding e.g. the evaluation of the effectiveness of a hydrogenation step in a solar cell process. For this purpose, we developed a direct fitting procedure based on a particular solution of the minority carrier diffusion equation with suitable boundary conditions. This theory, initially developed by C. Donolato for analyzing EBIC and/or LBIC contrast profiles, had the limitation to assume the same diffusion length (Ldiff) for both neighboring grains which cannot account for non symmetrical contrast profile due to differing Ldiff and can thus lead to erroneous evaluation of Ldiff , in particular when the SRV of the GB is low. The present contribution fixes this problem by generalizing Donolato’s theory for differing diffusion lengths on either side of the GB, and so allows non symmetrical profiles to be investigated.

description: The aim of this paper is the study of the impact of partial shading on a grid connected photovoltaic (PV) plant. Two technologies of PV modules are examined: multi-crystalline silicon and amorphous silicon.
Two types of studies are made: On one hand, shadowing losses are assessed instantaneously under stable solar irradiance conditions. On the other hand, these losses are summed up during a five weeks period. Different types of shadows are tested.
This study shows better results for amorphous silicon systems face to shadows. Partial shading may lead to complete system failures when the inverter stops operating when the Maximum Power Point voltage gets out of range. The results of these two cases are compared.
Manifestation of pointer state correlations in complex weak values of quantum observables

description: In the weak measurement (WM) scenario involving weak interaction and postselection by projective measurement, the empirical significance of weak values is manifested in terms of shifts in the measurement pointer's mean position and mean momentum. In this context, a general quantitative treatment is presented in this paper by taking into account the hitherto unexplored effect of correlations among the pointer degrees of freedom which pertain to an arbitrary multidimensional preselected pointer state. This leads to an extension of the earlier results, showing that, for complex weak values, the correlations among different pointer degrees of freedom can crucially affect the way the imaginary parts of the weak values are related to the observed shifts of the mean pointer position and momentum. The particular relevance of this analysis is discussed in the case of sequential weak interactions, followed by a postselection (called sequential WM) which, in the special case, reduces to the usual WM scheme involving a single weak interaction and postseletion, modified by the effect of pointer state correlations.

description: A new intermediate band solar cell design is investigated by numerical modeling. In contrast to other proposed designs the intermediate band is placed in the p-doped base of an ordinary pn-solar cell. The intermediate band is thus not half filled with doping, but is filled by photo-generated electrons. The modeling shows that such a design can yield efficiencies well above the efficiencies from a reference model without an intermediate band, as well as above the Shockley-Queisser limit. Light concentration is found to be necessary for efficient electron pumping via the intermediate band. To achieve the highest efficiencies, the absorption cross section for transitions from the intermediate band to the conduction band has to be larger than the corresponding cross-section for transitions from the valence band to the intermediate band.

description: Using Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications Version-2 (MERRA-2) re-analyses, we have examined recent trends (2000–2019) in transport of surface carbonaceous aerosols (CAs), that is, organic carbon and black carbon, to the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) during the Asian summer monsoon (ASM). We find a significant increased concentration of UTLS CA, linked to a linear trend in an expansion of the Asian Summer Monsoon Anticyclone (ASMA). Over core monsoon latitudes (25°–35°N), the trends in UTLS CA are enabled by increased upward transport from surface sources via an intensified monsoon meridional circulation, with increased latent heating over the southern Tibetan Plateau and foothill regions, enhanced by feedback processes associated with radiative heating by UTLS CA. In the extra-tropics, increased UTLS CA stems primarily from an extended source of increased wildfire emissions over eastern Siberia and northern Asia, coincident with a large-scale anomalous anticyclone with enhanced surface warming and drying near (80°–120°E, 55°–70°N). Here, CAs are transported upward from the surface to the ULS, likely by increased pyro-convection associated with enhanced wildfires, and enter the tropical UTLS via increased equatorward transport on the eastern flanks of anomalous upper-level anticyclones, coupled to the expanded ASMA. Overall, the increasing UTLS CA trends associated with expansion of the ASMA are consistent with a hydrostatic expansion of a warming troposphere, reflected in a rise in the tropical tropopause and consequential dynamical adjustments of the ASM subtropical jetstream, modulating the climate of the greater ASM region.

description: The massive penetration of fluctuating renewable energies will challenge the low voltage grids. Innovative solutions to address this issue need to be developed and tested. They may consist of intelligent energy management systems and the use of storage systems. For this purpose the PRISMES platform has been designed and implemented at the INES headquarter in Chambéry. It is a universal test and development tool, such as stand alone hybrid systems and grid connected PV systems combined with a storage system and loads. This paper describes the PRISMES facility which will start operation in autumn 2008.

description: Given an arbitrary $2^w \times 2^w$ unitary matrix $U$, a powerful matrix decomposition can be applied, leading to four different syntheses of a $w$-qubit quantum circuit performing the unitary transformation. The demonstration is based on a recent theorem by Führ and Rzeszotnik, generalizing the scaling of single-bit unitary gates ($w=1$) to gates with arbitrary value of~$w$. The synthesized circuit consists of controlled 1-qubit gates, such as NEGATOR gates and PHASOR gates. Interestingly, the approach reduces to a known synthesis method for classical logic circuits consisting of controlled NOT gates, in the case that $U$ is a permutation matrix.

description: Fluorescent Solar Collectors (FSC) are an attractive technology for the next generation of low cost solar cells since in these devices (i) most of the weak absorbing semiconductor material is replaced by a cheap fluorescent strong photon absorber and (ii) the incoming sunlight is concentrated. The chemical potential of the fluorescence escaping the collector is characterised in this work and shown to be nearly equal to the thermodynamical limits imposed by a detailed balance argument. This equality indicates that non radiative losses have little effect on the chemical potential of the light escaping from the collector, a major benefit in comparison to simple semiconductor based solar cells where non-radiative losses significantly affect the open circuit voltage.

description: The structural evolution of a-Si1-xCx:H/a-SiC:H multilayer films during thermal annealing was investigated. Our aim was the preparation of silicon nanocrystals (NCs) in a silicon carbide (SiC) host matrix. The multilayer films were prepared by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition (PECVD). Thermal annealing was performed at various temperatures. The as-deposited and annealed multilayer films were investigated with Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to gain information about bonding changes occurring during annealing and with glancing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) to determine crystalline phases formed during annealing. In this investigation the Si content of the Si-rich SiC (SRC) layers and the annealing temperature were varied. FTIR measurements show that as-deposited multilayer films contain a large amount of hydrogen. When annealing these layers hydrogen diffuses out of the films. Additionally FTIR investigations show a strong dependency of the Si-C bond formation on the Si excess in the SRC layers during annealing. At annealing temperatures of 900°C the formation of Si NCs was detected by GIXRD. When annealing temperatures exceed 1000°C Si NCs are accompanied by SiC nanocrystals.

description: The detectability lemma is a useful tool for probing the structure of gapped ground states of frustration-free Hamiltonians of lattice spin models. The lemma provides an estimate on the error incurred by approximating the ground space projector with a product of local projectors. We provide a new, simpler proof for the detectability lemma, which applies to an arbitrary ordering of the local projectors, and show that it is tight up to a constant factor. As an application we show how the lemma can be combined with a strong converse by Gao to obtain local spectral gap amplification: we show that by coarse-graining a local frustration-free Hamiltonian with a spectral gap $γ>0$ to a length scale $O(γ^{-1/2})$, one gets an Hamiltonian with an $Ω(1)$ spectral gap.

description: Computer Aided Design (CAD) is used for a variety of applications. Accordingly, current CAD software offers powerful rendering and ray-tracing features, alongside sophisticated graphical user interfaces. This makes it somewhat surprising that CAD embedded rendering is only used to render images, rather than that additional processing of the thereby obtained information is performed. In this paper, we demonstrate how spatial irradiation distributions incident onto PV geometries can be obtained from CAD embedded rendering. This is a very promising simulation approach for a variety of PV systems, because it allows for simulating irradiation properties for virtually all kinds of PV geometries, including three dimensional (3D) shapes. To this end, three different geometries and a device integrated PV (DIPV) product are modelled: a flat, two different bend and double-bend geometries and the PV-powered computer mouse “SoleMio”, with a flat solar cell incorporated under a double-bend, transparent plastic cover. The software tools and scripts presented will allow for improved analysis of irradiation properties incident on complex solar cell geometries. Consequently, this contribution will be especially useful for energy balance estimations of device integrated PV (DIPV) used indoors.

description: We first construct the effective chiral Lagrangians for the $1^{-+}$ exotic mesons. With the infrared regularization scheme, we derive the one-loop infrared singular chiral corrections to the $π_1(1600)$ mass explicitly. We investigate the variation of the different chiral corrections with the pion mass under two schemes. Hopefully, the explicit non-analytical chiral structures will be helpful to the chiral extrapolation of the lattice data from the dynamical lattice QCD simulation of either the exotic light hybrid meson or tetraquark state.

description: Recent developments in large language models (LLM) and generative AI have unleashed the astonishing capabilities of text-to-image generation systems to synthesize high-quality images that are faithful to a given reference text, known as a "prompt". These systems have immediately received lots of attention from researchers, creators, and common users. Despite the plenty of efforts to improve the generative models, there is limited work on understanding the information needs of the users of these systems at scale. We conduct the first comprehensive analysis of large-scale prompt logs collected from multiple text-to-image generation systems. Our work is analogous to analyzing the query logs of Web search engines, a line of work that has made critical contributions to the glory of the Web search industry and research. Compared with Web search queries, text-to-image prompts are significantly longer, often organized into special structures that consist of the subject, form, and intent of the generation tasks and present unique categories of information needs. Users make more edits within creation sessions, which present remarkable exploratory patterns. There is also a considerable gap between the user-input prompts and the captions of the images included in the open training data of the generative models. Our findings provide concrete implications on how to improve text-to-image generation systems for creation purposes.

description: In the context of a rapid development of the PV market, both in terms of capacity and the type of applications, the EC-funded Integrated Project PERFORMANCE is developing a modernised set of guidelines for the monitoring of PV system performance. The completed guidelines will be easily accessible for all interested parties, from system designers to system users and/or financiers, and will provide guidance on both the measurement of PV systems and the analysis of their performance. This paper discusses progress on the development of the web-based guidelines package, including the approach to allow custom guidelines to be generated for a wide range of users, the development of a failure modes effects analysis tailored to the monitoring process and the opportunity for industry input to the final development phase.

description: This paper presents the first results of a study relating to the behaviour of low voltage (LV) French grids with a high penetration of photovoltaic (PV) domestic systems. In a first part, the paper describes data used for this study, like network characteristics and consumption and generation curves. Then the different hypothesis taken for the simulations are presented. In a second part, the paper focuses on the load flow and the time domain simulation results. The software used for this study is EMTP-RV (Electro Magnetic Transients Program – Restructured Version) which has been modified for the need of this study. Thanks to the improvements made in EMTP-RV, it is now possible to simulate any single-phase PV system.
