description: Abstract: "A large number of planning and scheduling problems can be formulated as multiperiod MILP models which often require substantial computational expense for their solution. This paper presents and demonstrates the value of nonstandard formulations of such problems. Based on a variable disaggregation technique which exploits lot sizing substructures, we propose a strategy for the reformulation of conventional multiperiod MILP models. The suggested formulations involve more constraints and variables but they exhibit tighter linear programming relaxations than standard approaches.The proposed reformulation strategy is applied to a model for batch scheduling and a model for long range planning. Numerical results are presented for these problems to demonstrate that -- due to their tighter linear programming relaxations -- the reformulations can lead to up to an order of magnitude faster computational results and make possible the solution of larger problems."

description: Low-field magnetoresistance is ubiquitous in low-dimensional metallic systems with high resistivity and well understood as arising due to quantum interference on self-intersecting diffusive trajectories. We have found that in graphene this weak-localization magnetoresistance is strongly suppressed and, in some cases, completely absent. This unexpected observation is attributed to mesoscopic corrugations of graphene sheets which cause a dephasing effect similar to that of a random magnetic field.

description: Abstract: "This paper discusses numerical issues in Differential- Algebraic Equation (DAE) optimization concerning the stability and accuracy of the discretized Nonlinear Programming Problems (NLP). First, a brief description of the solution strategy based on reduced-Hessian Successive Quadratic Programming (rSQP) is described, focusing on the decomposition step of the DAE constraints. Next, some difficulties associated with unstable DAE problem formulations are exposed via examples. A new procedure for detecting ill-conditioning and problem reformulation is then presented. Furthermore, some properties of this procedure as well as its limitations are also discussed. Numerical examples are provided, including a flowsheet optimization problem with an unstable reactor."

description: Recently, the Low-Energy Demonstration Accelerator (LEDA) portion of the Accelerator Production of Tritium (APT) project reached its 100-mA, 8-hr CW beam operation milestone. LEDA consists of a 75-keV proton injector, 6.7-MeV, 350-MHz CW radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) with associated high-power and low-level rf systems, a short high-energy beam transport (HEBT) and high-power (670-kW CW) beam dump. During the commissioning phase it was discovered that the RFQ field level must to be approximately 5-10% higher than design in order to accelerate the full 100-mA beam with low losses. Measurements of a low-duty-factor, 100-mA beam show the beam transmission is unexpectedly low for RFQ field levels between ~90 and 105% of design. This paper will describe some aspects of LEDA operations critical to achieving the above milestone. Measurement and simulation results for reduced RFQ beam transmission near design operating conditions are also presented.

Primordial standing waves

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

description: We consider the possibility that the primordial fluctuations (scalar and tensor) might have been standing waves at their moment of creation, whether or not they had a quantum origin. We lay down the general conditions for spatial translational invariance, and isolate the pieces of the most general such theory that comply with, or break translational symmetry. We find that, in order to characterize statistically translationally invariant standing waves, it is essential to consider the correlator $\langle c_0({\mathbf k}) c_0({\mathbf k}')\rangle$ in addition to the better known $\langle c_0({\mathbf k}) c_0^\dagger({\mathbf k}')\rangle$ (where $c_0({\mathbf k})$ are the complex amplitudes of travelling waves). We then examine how the standard process of "squeezing" (responsible for converting travelling waves into standing waves while the fluctuations are outside the horizon) reacts to being fed primordial standing waves. For translationally invariant systems only one type of standing wave, with the correct temporal phase (the "sine wave"), survives squeezing. Primordial standing waves might therefore be invisible at late times -- or not -- depending on their phase. Theories with modified dispersion relations behave differently in this respect, since only standing waves with the opposite temporal phase survive at late times.

description: The intrinsic shape of galactic bulges in nearby galaxies provides crucial information to separate bulge types. We intended to derive accurate constraints to the intrinsic shape of bulges to provide new clues on their formation mechanisms and set new limitations for future simulations. We retrieved the intrinsic shape of a sample of CALIFA bulges using a statistical approach. Taking advantage of GalMer numerical simulations of binary mergers we estimated the reliability of the procedure. Analyzing the $i$-band mock images of resulting lenticular remnants, we studied the intrinsic shape of their bulges at different galaxy inclinations. Finally, we introduced a new ($B/A$, $C/A$) diagram to analyze possible correlations between the intrinsic shape and the properties of bulges. We tested the method on simulated lenticular remnants, finding that for galaxies with inclinations $25^{\circ} < θ< 65^{\circ}$ we can safely derive the intrinsic shape of their bulges. We found that our CALIFA bulges tend to be nearly oblate systems (66%), with a smaller fraction of prolate spheroids (19%) and triaxial ellipsoids (15%). The majority of triaxial bulges are in barred galaxies (75%). Moreover, we found that bulges with low Sérsic indices or in galaxies with low bulge-to-total luminosity ratios form a heterogeneous class of objects; additionally, also bulges in late-type galaxies or in less massive galaxies have no preference in being oblate, prolate, or triaxial. On the contrary, bulges with high Sérsic index, in early-type galaxies, or in more massive galaxies are mostly oblate systems. We concluded that various evolutionary pathways may coexist in galaxies, with merging events and dissipative collapse being the main mechanisms driving the formation of the most massive oblate bulges and bar evolution reshaping the less massive triaxial bulges.
Efficiencies of Low-Mass Star and Star Cluster Formation

description: Using a quantitative model for bipolar outflows driven by hydromagnetic protostellar winds, we calculate the efficiency of star formation assuming that available gas is either converted into stars or ejected in outflows. We estimate the efficiency of a single star formation event in a protostellar core, finding 25%-70% for cores with various possible degrees of flattening. The core mass function and the stellar initial mass function have similar slopes, because the efficiency is not sensitive to its parameters. We then consider the disruption of gas from a dense molecular clump in which a cluster of young stars is being born. In both cases, we present analytical formulae for the efficiencies that compare favorably against observations and, for clusters, against numerical simulations. We predict efficiencies in the range 30%-50% for the regions that form clusters of low-mass stars. In our model, star formation and gas dispersal happen concurrently. We neglect the destructive effects of massive stars: our results are therefore upper limits to the efficiency in regions more massive than about 3000 Msun.

Based on a variable disaggregation technique that exploits lot sizing substructures, we propose two reformulations of the conventional MILP model. The first one is an NLP reformulation that yields very quickly good suboptimal solutions. The second is an MILP reformulation for exact solutions that leads up to an order of magnitude faster computational results for large problems due to its tighter linear programming relaxation."

description: In the present study we evaluated the possibility of automatically identifying the level of attention / inattention of a car driver, using deep learning techniques to classify the images recorded by a specific equipment able to monitor the driver’s gaze. An Eye Tracking system returned videos representing the scene seen by the drivers with a superimposed red cross corresponding to their gaze. The images were labelled by road safety experts in 5 classes, depending on the objects looked at (car, street, rear mirror, background, car interior). We developed a Convolutional Neural Network model (CNN) that was trained and tested on the images to detect the five classes. Specific video pre-processing was necessary. Analyses were performed with OpenCV software library, Keras and Python. The parallelisation of the code was investigated as a proof of concept (PoC) to evaluate a good performance of the computation when moving from this pilot study (that included only three videos) to the use “in production”. The code parallelisation was performed on the pre-processing and on the CNN code. In the first case both a multi-thread and a multi-task strategy were tested for the code parallelisation with the latter more performant in small sets of frames case. As for the CNN, we tested a multi-task implementation, using Horovod (4 GPU), and a multi-thread strategy using the mirrored strategy of Tensorflow (2 GPU). Even if a larger database is necessary for further evaluation, the Horovod parallelisation strategy is recommended at this stage. The CNN performance is promising, since, depending on the different combinations of training and testing set, accuracy was always larger than 70%, frequently over 80%. For the specific application this is a really appropriate results. Further studies are necessary to increase the dataset, to tune the models and to finalise the PoC, towards a ready-to-use application.

description: We performed a search for eclipsing and dipping sources in the archive of the EXTraS project - a systematic characterization of the temporal behaviour of XMM-Newton point sources. We discovered dips in the X-ray light curve of 3XMM J004232.1+411314, which has been recently associated with the hard X-ray source dominating the emission of M31. A systematic analysis of XMM-Newton observations revealed 13 dips in 40 observations (total exposure time $\sim$0.8 Ms). Among them, four observations show two dips, separated by $\sim$4.01 hr. Dip depths and durations are variable. The dips occur only during low-luminosity states (L$_{0.2-12}<1\times10^{38}$ erg s$^{-1}$), while the source reaches L$_{0.2-12}\sim2.8\times10^{38}$ erg s$^{-1}$. We propose this system to be a new dipping Low-Mass X-ray Binary in M31 seen at high inclination (60$^{\circ}$-80$^{\circ}$), the observed dipping periodicity is the orbital period of the system. A blue HST source within the Chandra error circle is the most likely optical counterpart of the accretion disk. The high luminosity of the system makes it the most luminous dipper known to date.

Reduced SQP implementation for large-scale optimization problems

description: Abstract: "The development and implementation of the Range and Null space Decomposition (RND) strategy for large-scale problems is described with emphasis on the optimization of engineering systems. The RND technique, as detailed in Vasantharajan and Biegler (1988), uses nonorthonormal, gradient based projections for the Jacobian. However, this implementation is dense, and does not take advantage of system sparsity. Here we extend this algorithm to incorporate general purpose sparse matrix techniques. Also, problems like inconsistent linearizations and infeasible Quadratic Programs (QPs), which are generally associated with QP based methods compromise the robustness of this method and need to be considered.Finally, systematic ways of generating a nonsingular basis for general nonlinear programs must be developed if this strategy is to be adapted to solve large, sparse problems efficiently. To deal with these problems, a two phase LP-based procedure is coupled to the RND algorithm. This strategy also serves to partition the variables into decisions and dependents, thereby generating a nonsingular basis. Any redundancies/degeneracies in the constraints are also detected and processed separately. The entire reduced SQP implementation is then interfaced with GAMS (Brooke et al. (1988)), a front end for representing and solving process models.Finally, a thorough comparison of the RND based reduced SQP strategy with MINOS (Murtagh and Saunders (1978)) is effected on a set of NLPs and process design problems. The process problems include the optimization of the operation of distillation columns. These problems warrant special mention as have been uniquely conceived and implemented in a novel equation-oriented manner, thus exploiting the full potential of the GAMS architecture. Detailed discussion of the formulation and results are included and results are obtained that confirm the viability and efficacy of the reduced SQP implementation for efficient solution of large, difficult nonlinear programs."

description: Abstract: "Reduced Hessian Successive Quadratic Programming (SQP) is well suited for the solution of large-scale process optimization problems with many variables and constraints but few degrees of freedom. The reduced space method involves four major steps: an initial preprocessing phase followed by an iterative procedure which requires the solution of a set of nonlinear equations, a QP subproblem and a line search. The overall performance of the algorithm depends directly on the robustness and computational efficiency of the techniques used to handle each of these sub-tasks. Here, we discuss improvements to all of these steps in order to specialize this approach to real-time optimization. A numerical comparison of reduced Hessian SQP with MINOS (Murtagh and Saunders, 1982, 1987) is provided for the optimization of the Sunoco Hydrocracker Fractionation Plant (Bailey et al., 1992). The case study consists of about 3000 variables and constraints and includes several scenarios related to parameter estimation and on-line process-wide optimization. A study of the effect of optimizing the DIB distillation column which constitutes a subproblem of the Sunoco example is also included. The results indicate that our algorithm is at least as robust and an order of magnitude faster than MINOS for this set of problems."

description: When it comes to applying the adiabatic theorem in practice, the key question to be answered is how slow "slowly enough" is. This question can be an intricate one, especially for many-body systems, where the limits of slow driving and large system size may not commute. Recently we have shown how the quantum adiabaticity in many-body systems is related to the generalized orthogonality catastrophe [Phys. Rev. Lett. 119, 200401 (2017)]. We have proven a rigorous inequality relating these two phenomena and applied it to establish conditions for the quantized transport in the topological Thouless pump. In the present contribution we (i) review these developments and (ii) apply the inequality to establish the conditions for adiabaticity in a one-dimensional system consisting of a quantum fluid and an impurity particle pulled through the fluid by an external force. The latter analysis is vital for the correct quantitative description of the phenomenon of quasi Bloch oscillations in a one-dimensional translation invariant impurity-fluid system.

Using an annotated set of "factual" and "feeling" debate forum posts, we extract patterns that are highly correlated with factual and emotional arguments, and then apply a bootstrapping methodology to find new patterns in a larger pool of unannotated forum posts. This process automatically produces a large set of patterns representing linguistic expressions that are highly correlated with factual and emotional language. Finally, we analyze the most discriminating patterns to better understand the defining characteristics of factual and emotional arguments.

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.

description: The construction industry has been noted to be impervious to change. Over time, contractors have been found to be slow in implementing strategies to reduce carbon during construction projects. Hence, it is imperative to unearth factors that could be contributing to such sluggishness as well as those capable of motivating and promoting the carbon reduction behaviour of contractors. This study, therefore, aims to achieve this. To attain this, a comprehensive literature review and survey amongst construction professionals with carbon reduction experience in the UK was conducted. The data collected were analysed by utilising numerous quantitative analysis techniques.
The research findings suggest several drivers, barriers and KPIs could influence contractors’ behaviour in reducing construction carbon. The drivers include carbon literacy, motivation and incentives, procurement and integration, and cost and profitability. The barriers are resources and prioritisation, policy and standards, risk and commitment, and awareness and complexity. The carbon KPIs resulting from the study include those related to transportation and construction-installation stages of the construction process. The transportation stage KPIs are personnel and location, resource management, and percentage of renewables and the construction-installation stage KPIs include waste, services, operations, product, construction method and machinery, renewable energy, and material. In addition, the contractors’ carbon reduction behaviours found in this study are consummate and pragmatic behaviours.
Furthermore, this research produced three structural pathway models illustrating the influence of the drivers, barriers and KPIs on the carbon reduction behaviours of contractors, thereby, extending the construction process decarbonisation body of knowledge. The models indicate that carbon literacy is the only driver with a significant positive influence on contractors’ pragmatic and consummate carbon reduction behaviour. Likewise, resources and prioritisation was found to be the only significant barrier impeding contractors’ consummate behaviour, and only construction-installation KPIs have a

considerable influence on the consummate behaviour of contractors in reducing carbon. Consequently, a carbon management protocol was developed to guide the carbon management performance of contractors and steer the attainment of construction decarbonisation. The outcome of this research could provide direction to construction clients and policymakers in instituting effective strategies focused on the identified factors to support the decarbonisation of built environment projects.

description: Biological macromolecules have complex and non-trivial energy landscapes, endowing them a unique conformational adaptability and diversity in function. Hence, understanding the processes of elasticity and dissipation at the nanoscale is important to molecular biology and also emerging fields such as nanotechnology. Here we analyse single molecule fluctuations in an atomic force microscope (AFM) experiment using a generic model of biopolymer viscoelasticity that importantly includes sources of local `internal' conformational dissipation. Comparing two biopolymers, dextran and cellulose, polysaccharides with and without the well-known `chair-to-boat' transition, reveals a signature of this simple conformational change as minima in both the elasticity and internal friction around a characteristic force. A calculation of two-state populations dynamics offers a simple explanation in terms of an elasticity driven by the entropy, and friction by barrier-controlled hopping, of populations on a landscape. The microscopic model, allows quantitative mapping of features of the energy landscape, revealing unexpectedly slow dynamics, suggestive of an underlying roughness to the free energy.

description: Electron beams of linear induction accelerators experience deflective forces caused by RF fields building up as a result of accelerating cavities of finite size. These forces can significantly effect the beam when a long linac composed of identical cells is assembled. Recent techniques in computational modeling, simulation, and experiments for 20 MeV DARHT-II (Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test) accelerator cells were found to reduce the wakefield impedance of the cells from 800 ohms/meter to 350 ohms/meter and experimental results confirm the results of the modeling efforts. Increased performance of the cell was obtained through a parametric study of the accelerator structure, materials, material tuning, and geometry. As a result of this effort, it was found that thickness-tuned ferrite produced a 50% deduction in the wakefield impedance in the low frequency band and was easily tunable based on the material thickness. It was also found that shaped metal sections allow for high-Q resonances to be de-tuned, thus decreasing the amplitude of the resonance and increasing the cell s performance. For the geometries used for this cell, a roughly 45 degree angle had the best performance in affecting the wakefield modes.

description: Paper presented at the Xlllth World Congress on Cattle Diseases, Durban, S. Africa, Sept. 17-21, 1984. Ten yearling Friesian steers were given 0.1 g/kg 3MI by stomach tube. The respiratory distress syndrome that subsequently arose was alleviated by the administration of flunixin meglumine. After seven days there were still distinct clinical differences between test and control cattle. The initial therapeutic response was probably due to a reduction in the severity of pulmonary congestion and oedema; the latter benefits were probably due to the differences between test and control steers in the extent and severity of alveolar epithelial hyperplasia.

description: La nascita di negozi che promuovono l’acquisto di prodotti senza confezioni, sta sensibilizzando milioni di persone inducendoli a piccoli cambiamenti per fermare il problema ambientale causato dai rifiuti. Movimenti sociali, vitali quali la cultura “zerowaste”, possono essere una leva per indurre una trasformazione profonda e duratura nel mondo dell’imballaggio usa e getta e una rottura dell’enorme circolo di sprechi che accomuna la nostra quotidianità. Questo lavoro si sofferma inizialmente sul comprendere il bisogno di azioni concrete da parte dell’uomo per contrastare il disastro ambientale. Trovare un linguaggio e una chiave visiva, capace di sensibilizzare e promuovere il tema dell’acquisto sfuso, nudo, privo di confezioni inutili, tramite la progettazione di una visual identity, è l’obiettivo principale di questo progetto. “Le Buone&Pratiche”, un’associazione sul territorio varesino che nasce con l’intento di far conoscere uno stile di vita a zero sprechi, sta aprendo il primo negozio di prodotti sfusi della zona. Questo progetto vuole essere un punto di partenza per la valorizzazione di questo genere di attività eco-sostenibili, promuovendo e invogliando l’acquisto alla spina attraverso la creazione di una brand identity accattivante. L’intento è proporre qualcosa d’innovativo, offrendo un nuovo servizio sul territorio, per soddisfare chi già compie azioni simili e per incuriosire possibili acquirenti futuri. Un design che si discosta dallo stile tipico di questi negozi che spesso trascura l’aspetto estetico. Viene fornito un vero e proprio sistema comunicativo visivo composto da forme e segni che si pongono come inizio per la nascita di una community “zerowaste” a Varese.

description: To obtain the best possible scientific result, astronomers must understand the properties of the available instrumentation well. This is important both when designing new instruments and when using existing instruments close to the limits of their specified capabilities or beyond. Ray-tracing is a technique for numerical simulations where the path of many light rays is followed through the system to understand how individual system components influence the observed properties, such as the shape of the point-spread-function (PSF). In instrument design, such simulations can be used to optimize the performance. For observations with existing instruments this helps to discern instrumental artifacts from a true signal. Here, we describe MARXS, a new python package designed to simulate X-ray instruments on satellites and sounding rockets. MARXS uses probability tracking of photons and has polarimetric capabilities.
