description: Flexible piezoelectric devices made of polymeric materials are widely used for micro- and nano-electro-mechanical systems. In particular, numerous recent applications concern energy harvesting. Due to the importance of computational modeling to understand the influence that microscale geometry and constitutive variables exert on the macroscopic behavior, a numerical approach is developed here for multiscale and multiphysics modeling of thin piezoelectric sheets made of aligned arrays of polymeric nanofibers, manufactured by electrospinning. At the microscale, the representative volume element consists in piezoelectric polymeric nanofibers, assumed to feature a piezoelastic behavior and subjected to electromechanical contact constraints. The latter are incorporated into the virtual work equations by formulating suitable electric, mechanical and coupling potentials and the constraints are enforced by using the penalty method. From the solution of the micro-scale boundary value problem, a suitable scale transition procedure leads to identifying the performance of a macroscopic thin piezoelectric shell element.

description: We investigate the dynamics of entanglement in the excitation transfer through a chain of interacting molecules. In the case of two-molecule coupled to noisy environments we show that entanglement can be further enhanced if the distance between the molecules is oscillating. Our results demonstrate that motional effect plays a constructive role on quantum entanglement in the dynamics of excitation transfer. This mechanism might provide useful guideline for designing artificial systems to battle against decoherence.

description: Randomness is a vital resource for modern day information processing, especially for cryptography. A wide range of applications critically rely on abundant, high quality random numbers generated securely. Here we show how to expand a random seed at an exponential rate without trusting the underlying quantum devices. Our approach is secure against the most general adversaries, and has the following new features: cryptographic level of security, tolerating a constant level of imprecision in the devices, requiring only a unit size quantum memory per device component for the honest implementation, and allowing a large natural class of constructions for the protocol. In conjunct with a recent work by Chung, Shi and Wu, it also leads to robust unbounded expansion using just 2 multi-part devices. When adapted for distributing cryptographic keys, our method achieves, for the first time, exponential expansion combined with cryptographic security and noise tolerance. The proof proceeds by showing that the Renyi divergence of the outputs of the protocol (for a specific bounding operator) decreases linearly as the protocol iterates. At the heart of the proof are a new uncertainty principle on quantum measurements, and a method for simulating trusted measurements with untrusted devices.

description: The human diet of the local population in the province Uíge, Angola mainly consists of carbohydrate rich plants originating from America or Asia. Acidic soils lead to various deficiency syndromes and low livestock yield. The aim of this study is to evaluate the nutritional potential of 14 native plants from Africa (Aframomum alboviolaceum, Aframomum angustifolium, Aframomum giganteum, Antidesma venosum, Clitandra cymulosa, Landolphia buchananii, Landolphia lanceolata, Landolphia owariensis, Oncoba welwitschii, Parinari capensis, Piper umbellatum, Pseudospondias microcarpa, Tristemma mauritianum, Vitex madiensis subsp. madiensis). The amino acid composition, beta-carotene, vitamin B1, B2, C and E content was determined for the respective edible plant part. Fruits of P. capensis were found to be rich in beta-carotene. The pulp of O. welwitschii shows a high nutritional value (high in vitamin B1, B2, C, E and in indispensable amino acids). Leaves of P. umbellatum are determined as convenient substitutes for the human nutrition containing beta-carotene, vitamin B1, B2, C and E. The integration and cultivation of studied plants indicate positive health effects, supplying different amounts of frequently lacking vitamins and beneficial ratios of indispensable amino acids. Studies examining dependencies between site location, ripeness, storage or transportation are urgently needed as they directly influence the micronutrient content.

Framework for design and optimization of a retrofitted light industrial  space with a renewable energy-assisted hydroponics facility in a rural  northern Canadian community
Creators: A Udovichenko, BA Fleck, T Weis, L Zhong
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

The purpose of this study is to develop a design framework for retrofitting a light industrial building with a hybrid renewable energy-assisted hydroponics farming system for production of fresh food in rural north Canadian communities. This design protocol is targeted at facilities in rural areas of northern Canada, which could benefit from better access to fresh food, especially given the harsh climate as well as the long and limited transport routes. The process includes 1) a review of the existing building; 2) an estimation of design loads for system sizing, such as temperature and humidity control, adequate lighting, airborne carbon, and water; 3) multi-objective genetic algorithm optimization of the hybrid renewable energy system for minimal operating cost and emissions; and 4) comparison of costs and greenhouse (GHG) emissions of the proposed farming operation

with the traditional food supply chain. To demonstrate the proposed methodology, a case study building in a rural community in Alberta, Canada was evaluated for retrofit. The results showed that the GHG emissions generated from local hydroponic lettuce production, aided by a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES), are three times greater than those emitted by transporting an equivalent quantity of food from southern California, USA. On the other hand, the life cycle cost showed that the cost to produce lettuce from the case study facility is comparable to the price of lettuce available from traditional import, which shows a promising potential to provide fresh and cost-competitive food in the community, among other qualitative benefits gained from this empowering opportunity.

Phenolic compounds and in vitro biological activities of nonanthocyanin fractions from mulberry fruits harvested at different maturity stages
Creators: name: Lee, Yongcheol
name: Hwang, Keum Taek
Publisher: name: Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality
Year: 2022

description: Mulberry fruits contain substances involved in physiological activities beneficial to human health. To explore potential utilization of mulberry fruits as functional foods, functional compounds and in vitro biological activities of their extracts were determined at different maturity stages. As maturity progressed, nonanthocyanin fraction (NAF) decreased, while anthocyanin fraction (AF) increased. Main phenolic acid contained in the NAF was chlorogenic acid, which decreased during ripening. Main flavonols present in the NAF were rutin, isoquercetin, and morin, which also decreased during ripening. The NAF and AF exhibited anti-inflammatory properties by lowering nitric oxide production in Raw264.7 cells. The NAF of immature mulberry fruits promoted hexokinase activity in HepG2 cells and inhibited α-glucosidase, indicating its possible hypoglycemic effect. It is suggested that immature mulberry fruits that are rich in non-anthocyanin phenolics might be a potential functional food source.

description: Kerr frequency combs from microresonators are now extensively investigated as a potentially portable technology for a variety of applications. Most studies employ anomalous dispersion microresonators that support modulational instability for comb initiation, and mode-locking transitions resulting in coherent bright soliton-like pulse generation have been reported. However, some experiments show comb generation in normal dispersion microresonators; simulations suggest the formation of dark pulse temporal profiles. Excitation of dark pulse solutions is difficult due to the lack of modulational instability in the effective blue-detuned pumping region; an excitation pathway has been demonstrated neither in experiment nor in simulation. Here we report experiments in which dark pulse combs are formed by mode-interaction-aided excitation; for the first time, a mode-locking transition is observed in the normal dispersion regime. The excitation pathway proposed is also supported by simulations.

description: We study the wave equation for a stationary Lorentzian metric in the case of two space dimensions. Assuming that the metric has a singularity of the appropriate form, surrounded by an ergosphere which is a smooth Jordan curve, we prove the existence of a black hole with the boundary (called the event horizon) that is piece-wise smooth, generally having corners. We consider a physical model of acoustic black hole whose event horizon has corners. In the end of the paper we consider the determination of a black hole by the boundary measurements.

description: The phase-field crystal equation, a parabolic, sixth-order and nonlinear partial differential equation, has generated considerable interest as a possible solution to problems arising in molecular dynamics. This is because the phase-field crystal model can capture atomic-scale effects at time-scales that are orders of magnitude larger than what molecular dynamics simulations can afford presently. Nonetheless, solving this equation is not a trivial task, as a non-increasing free energy and mass conservation need to be verified for the numerical solution to be valid. This work focuses on these issues, and proposes a novel algorithm that guarantees mass conservation, unconditional energy stability and is second-order accurate in time. This is achieved through a convex-concave splitting of the nonlinearity present in the equation, along with the use of a stabilization term that bounds possible increases in free energy. We present numerical results that validate our mathematical proofs, and show two and three dimensional simulations involving crystal growth that showcase the robustness of the method.

description: Electric field instruments carried by spacecraft (SC) are complementary to dedicated dust detectors by registering transient voltage perturbations caused by impact-generated plasma. The signal waveform contains information about the interaction between the impact-generated plasma cloud and the elements of SC-antenna system. The variability of antenna signals from dust impacts has not yet been systematically characterized. A set of laboratory measurements are performed to characterize signal variations in response to SC parameters (bias voltage and antenna configuration) and impactor parameters (impact speed and composition). The measurements demonstrate that dipole antenna configurations are sensitive to dust impacts and that the detected signals vary with impact location. When dust impacts occur at low speeds, the antennas typically register smaller amplitudes and less characteristic impact signal shapes. In this case, impact event identification may be more challenging due to lower signal-to-noise ratios and/or more variable waveforms shapes, indicating the compound nature of nonfully developed impact-generated plasmas. To investigate possible variations in the impacting materials, the measurements are carried out using two dust samples with different mass densities: iron and aluminum. No significant variations of the measured waveform or plasma parameters obtained from data analysis are observed between the two materials used.

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι η μελέτη της τρομοκρατικής δράσης και η ανάλυση των κινδύνων από την εφαρμογή της ώστε να καθοριστεί ποια αποτελεί την επικινδυνότερη στρατηγική των τρομοκρατικών ομάδων. Αφού πραγματοποιηθεί η ανάλυση του θεωρητικού υπόβαθρου της τρομοκρατίας, θα παρουσιαστούν συγκεκριμένες περιπτωσιολογικές μελέτες που επιβεβαιώνουν τις τρομοκρατικές τακτικές ώστε να προσδιοριστούν οι ευρύτερες επιπτώσεις που δύναται να αντιμετωπίσουν τα κράτη. Στη συνέχεια με την χρήση εργαλείων διακινδύνευσης (Risk Matrix, Event Tree Analysis) θα γίνει η σύγκριση των πιθανών κινδύνων από την επιτυχημένη τρομοκρατική δράση ώστε να αναλυθούν οι πιθανές εκβάσεις για τα κράτη, οπότε και να προσδιοριστεί ποια στρατηγική έχει τον μεγαλύτερο αντίκτυπο σε όλους τους τομείς. Τα ευρήματα αυτής της μελέτης δείχνουν εν τέλει ότι όλες οι στρατηγικές των τρομοκρατών εκτείνονται σε ένα ευρύ αλλά κοινό φάσμα δράσης που μπορεί να αντιμετωπιστεί χωρίς καταστροφικές συνέπειες, αρκεί να εντοπισθούν εγκαίρως οι στόχοι των τρομοκρατών. Οι τρομοκρατικές οργανώσεις όπως παρουσιάζεται στη διεθνή βιβλιογραφία επιδιώκουν την αλλαγή του status quo, την πρόκληση πλήγματος στους τομείς της οικονομίας, της ανθρώπινης ζωής καθώς και την ψυχολογική επίδραση για την κοινωνία. Μετά τις διαδικασίες διακινδύνευσης διαπιστώθηκε πως η στρατηγική της πρόκλησης αποτελεί την επικινδυνότερη στρατηγική καθώς εμπεριέχει κινδύνους που χρήζουν άμεσης αντιμετώπισης και αφορούν τους τομείς της ασφάλειας, της οικονομίας και της ακεραιότητας της δημοκρατίας. Με τα κατάλληλα μέτρα που αφορούν την θεμιτή χρήση της βίας από τα κράτη και την αξιοποίηση των υπηρεσιών πληροφοριών, υπάρχει περιθώριο να αντιμετωπιστεί η κλιμάκωση της τρομοκρατίας χωρίς να προκληθούν επικίνδυνες καταστάσεις για την ανθρώπινη ασφάλεια.

description: Recently a problem concerning the equivalence of joint measurability and coexistence of quantum observables was solved [15]. In this paper we generalize two known joint measurability results from sharp observables to the class of extreme observables and study relationships between coexistence, joint measurability, and post-processing of quantum observables when an extreme observable is involved. We also discuss another notion of compatibility and provide a counterexample separating this from the former notions.

description: Non-classical interference of photons lies at the heart of optical quantum information processing. This effect is exploited in universal quantum gates as well as in purpose-built quantum computers that solve the BosonSampling problem. Although non-classical interference is often associated with perfectly indistinguishable photons this only represents the degenerate case, hard to achieve under realistic experimental conditions. Here we exploit tunable distinguishability to reveal the full spectrum of multi-photon non-classical interference. This we investigate in theory and experiment by controlling the delay times of three photons injected into an integrated interferometric network. We derive the entire coincidence landscape and identify transition matrix immanants as ideally suited functions to describe the generalized case of input photons with arbitrary distinguishability. We introduce a compact description by utilizing a natural basis which decouples the input state from the interferometric network, thereby providing a useful tool for even larger photon numbers.

Photochemistry of Azide Complexes of Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium. Generation of the Metallic State

Publisher: name: Universität Regensburg
Year: 1988
Subjects: subject: Colloides I Complex Compounds / Metals / Photochemistry / Spectroscopy, Ultraviolet
subject: 540 Chemie

description: The photochemistry of the following azide complexes in organic solvents has been investigated: [Au(N3)4]⁻, [Au(N3)2]⁻, [Ag(PPh3)2N3], [Pt(N3)6]2⁻, [Pt(N3)4]2⁻, [Pd(N3)4]2⁻, and [Pd2(N3)6]2⁻. All complexes underwent a photochemical reduction of the metal and oxidation of azide upon ligand to metal charge transfer excitation. The photolysis of the complexes with the metals in the lower oxidation states (Au(I), Ag(I), Pt(II), Pd(II)) led ultimately to the generation of free metals which form colloids. These colloids were characterized by their absorption spectra which showed the typical plasmon bands in the case of gold and silver. Pt(0) and Pd(0) produced during the photolysis can be intercepted with allyl chloride to form [Pt(π-allyl)Cl]4 and [Pd(π-allyl)Cl]2. Most photoreactions took place with rather large quantum yields.

Einstein-Born-Infeld black holes with a scalar hair in three-dimensions

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We present black hole solutions in $2+1-$dimensional Einstein's theory of gravity coupled with Born-Infeld nonlinear electrodynamic and a massless self-interacting scalar field. The model has five free parameters: mass $M$, cosmological constant $\ell $, electric $q$ and scalar $r_{0}$ charges and Born-Infeld parameter $β$. To attain exact solution for such a highly non-linear system we adjust, i.e. finely tune, the parameters of the theory with the integration constants. In the limit $β\rightarrow 0$ we recover the results of Einstein-Maxwell-Scalar theory, obtained before. The self interacting potential admits finite minima apt for the vacuum contribution. Hawking temperature of the model is investigated versus properly tuned parameters. By employing this tuned-solution as basis, we obtain also a dynamic solution which in the proper limit admits the known solution in Einstein gravity coupled with self-interacting scalar field. Finally we establish the equations of a general scalar-tensor field coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics field\ in $2+1-$dimensions without searching for exact solutions.

Transmission eigenchannels and the densities of states of random media

description: We show in microwave measurements and computer simulations that the contribution of each eigenchannel of the transmission matrix to the density of states (DOS) is the derivative with angular frequency of a composite phase shift. The accuracy of the measurement of the DOS determined from transmission eigenchannels is confirmed by the agreement with the DOS found from the decomposition of the field into modes. The distribution of the DOS, which underlies the Thouless number, is substantially broadened in the Anderson localization transition. We find a crossover from constant to exponential scaling of fluctuations of the DOS normalized by its average value. These results illuminate the relationships between scattering, stored energy and dynamics in complex media.

Manipulating light at distance by a metasurface using momentum transformation
Creators: name: Salem, Mohamed A.
name: Caloz, Christophe
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A momentum conservation approach is introduced to manipulate light at distance using metasurfaces. Given a specified field existing on one side of the metasurface and specified desired field transmitted from the opposite side, a general momentum boundary condition is established, which determines the amplitude, phase and polarization transformation to be induced by the metasurface. This approach, named momentum transformation, enables a systematic way to synthesize metasurfaces with complete control over the reflected and transmitted fields. Several synthesis illustrative examples are provided: a vortex hypergeometric-Gaussian beam and a "delayed-start" accelerated beam for Fresnel region manipulation, and a pencil beam radiator and a holographic repeater for Frauenhofer region manipulation.
Analysis of A Nonsmooth Optimization Approach to Robust Estimation

description: In this paper, we consider the problem of identifying a linear map from measurements which are subject to intermittent and arbitarily large errors. This is a fundamental problem in many estimation-related applications such as fault detection, state estimation in lossy networks, hybrid system identification, robust estimation, etc. The problem is hard because it exhibits some intrinsic combinatorial features. Therefore, obtaining an effective solution necessitates relaxations that are both solvable at a reasonable cost and effective in the sense that they can return the true parameter vector. The current paper discusses a nonsmooth convex optimization approach and provides a new analysis of its behavior. In particular, it is shown that under appropriate conditions on the data, an exact estimate can be recovered from data corrupted by a large (even infinite) number of gross errors.

description: In 1751, the Swedish chemist Johan Gottschalk Wallerius first differentiated between “pure” and “applied” chemistry, a distinction which was quickly adopted by the other branches of science. Behind this was a new scientific concept of chemistry which emphasized the importance of applying chemistry's accumulated knowledge and its capabilities of providing for the general economic benefit. It also provided chemistry with a new position within the hierarchy of the sciences as well as with a new function in society. The reasons behind and causes of the change in scientific perspective associated with this concept point to the social and institutional conditions under which this field has developed into an independent academic discipline.
Neutrino mixing with non-zero $θ_{13}$ and CP violation in the 3-3-1 model based on $A_4$ flavor symmetry

description: We propose a 3-3-1 model with neutral fermions based on $A_4$ flavor symmetry responsible for fermion masses and mixings with non-zero $θ_{13}$. To get realistic neutrino mixing, we just add a new $SU(3)_L$ triplet being in $\underline{3}$ under $A_4$. The neutrinos get small masses from two $SU(3)_L$ antisextets and one $SU(3)_L$ triplet. The model can fit the present data on neutrino masses and mixing as well as the effective mass governing neutrinoless double beta decay. Our results show that the neutrino masses are naturally small and a little deviation from the tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing form can be realized. The Dirac CP violation phase $δ$ is predicted to either $5.41^{\circ}$ or $354.59^{\circ}$ with $θ_{23} \neq \fracπ{4}$.
