description: The development of new materials and manufacturing technologies for photovoltaic (PV) power generation is vital for transitioning to a renewable and cleaner energy economy. The use of PV panels to produce electricity has spiked globally, rising by 12-fold in only 10 years. Emerging photovoltaic materials, which can be processed via simple and low-cost solution or evaporation methods, have the potential to significantly reduce manufacturing costs and in-crease the efficiency of solar cells for the realisation of low-cost-high-efficiency commercial solar panels. Novel PV materials have improved remarkably fast, within only a few years of development perovskite-based devices achieved power conversion efficiencies (PCE) that are on a par with the best single crystal silicon solar cells. Antimony chalcogenides (Sb2(S, Se)3, Sb2S3 and Sb2Se3) have recently emerged as an excellent light absorbing material for thin film PVs. The selenide phase (Sb2Se3) has garnered special attention as Sb2Se3 solar cells have recently surpassed the 10% efficiency benchmark. Still, this material technology requires significant improvements to be competitive. Major challenges facing Sb2Se3 devices are related to poor interfaces and to the requirement to favourably align the quasi-1D (Sb4Se6)n ribbon crystal structure. This thesis investigates and explores solutions to these issues over three main experimental chapters.

Firstly, an in-depth experimental investigation into the effect of employing different high resistance metal oxide (HRMO) layers on the quality of the front contact in superstrate Sb2Se3 solar cells is presented. The crucial role of HRMO in preventing shunting and maintaining device stability is verified, followed by an investigation into the generation/suppression of de-fects and the presence of electron barriers. Second, it is shown for the first time that substrate nanostructure plays a key role in driving the growth of (001) oriented Sb2Se3 thin films. An in-depth study on the mechanistic origin of oriented film growth on highly nanostructured substrates is presented, wherein Sb2Se3 orientation was found to be independent of substrate surface chemistry. Finally, the templated growth of (001) Sb2Se3 thin films as a viable method for device fabrication is demonstrated through the fabrication of rigid and flexible photodetec-tors and a proof-of-concept flexible heart rate detector. Overall, the investigations presented in this thesis are essential to guide the further development of high-quality Sb2Se3 solar cells and to overcome fundamental challenges in the fabrication of high quality Sb2Se3 layers with controlled morphology and orientation.
Resolvent-based approach for H2-optimal estimation and control: an application to the cylinder flow

description: We consider estimation and control of the cylinder wake at low Reynolds numbers. A particular focus is on the development of efficient numerical algorithms to design optimal linear feedback controllers when there are many inputs (disturbances applied everywhere) and many outputs (perturbations measured everywhere). We propose a resolvent-based iterative algorithm to perform i) optimal estimation of the flow using a limited number of sensors; and ii) optimal control of the flow when the entire flow is known but only a limited number of actuators are available for control. The method uses resolvent analysis to take advantage of the low-rank characteristics of the cylinder wake and solutions are obtained without any model-order reduction. Optimal feedback controllers are also obtained by combining the solutions of the estimation and control problems. We show that the performance of the estimators and controllers converges to the true global optima, indicating that the important physical mechanisms for estimation and control are of low rank.

description: The aim of this paper is to develop a marginal screening method for variable screening in high-dimensional binary classification based on the Wasserstein distance accounting for the distributional difference. Many existing screening methods, such as the two-sample t-test and Kolmogorov test, have been developed under the parametric/nonparametric modeling assumptions to reduce the dimension of the predictors. However, such modeling specifications or nonparametric approaches are associated with the probability measure induced by the predictor in a Euclidean space. While many machine learning methods have successfully found the nonlinear decision boundary in the transformed space, called the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS), we consider the Wasserstein filter's capacity to detect the distributional difference between two probability measures induced by the nonlinear function of the predictor in the RKHS. Thereby, we can flexibly filter out the non-informative predictors associated with the binary classification, as well as escape the modeling assumptions required in a Euclidean space. We prove that the Wasserstein filter satisfies the sure screening property under some mild conditions. We also demonstrate the advantages of our proposed approach by comparing the finite sample performance of it with those of the existing choices through simulation studies, as well as through application to lung cancer data.

description: Accurate stellar ages are essential for our understanding of the star formation history of the Milky Way, Galactic chemical evolution, and to constrain exoplanet formation models. Gyrochronology, a relationship between stellar rotation and age, appears to offer a reliable age indicator for main sequence (MS) stars over the mass range of approximately 0.6 to 1.3 $M_\odot$. Those stars lose their angular momentum due to magnetic braking and as a result, their rotation speeds decrease with age. Although current gyrochronology relations are fairly well tested for young MS stars with masses greater than 1 $M_\odot$, primarily in young open clusters, insufficient tests exist for older and lower mass MS stars. Binary stars offer the potential to expand and fill in the range of ages and metallicity over which gyrochronology can be empirically tested. In this paper, we demonstrate a Monte Carlo approach to evaluate gyrochronology models using binary stars. As examples, we used five previously published wide binary pairs. We also demonstrate a Monte Carlo approach to assess the precision and accuracy of ages derived from each gyrochronology model. For the traditional Skumanich models, the age uncertainties are $σ_{age}$/$age$ = 15-20\% for stars with $B-V$ = 0.65, and $σ_{age}$/$age$ = 5-10\% for stars with $B-V$ = 1.5 and rotation period P $\leq$ 20 days.

description: Consider a time series that takes values in a general topological space, and suppose that its Small-ball probability is factorised into two terms that play the role of a surrogate density and a volume term. The latter allows us to study the complexity of the underlying process. In some cases, the volume term can be analytically specified in a parametric form as a function of a complexity index. This work presents the study of an estimator for such an index whenever the volume term is monomial. Weak consistency and asymptotic Gaussianity are shown under an appropriate dependence structure, providing theoretical support for the construction of confidence intervals. A Monte Carlo simulation is performed to evaluate the performance of the approach under various conditions. Finally, the method is applied to identify the complexity of two real data sets.

description: This paper presents a combinatorial study of the super plactic monoid of type A, which is related to the representations of the general linear Lie superalgebra. We introduce the analogue of the Schützenberger's jeu de taquin on the structure of super tableaux over a signed alphabet. We show that this procedure which transforms super skew tableaux into super Young tableaux is compatible with the super plactic congruence and it is confluent. We deduce properties relating the super jeu de taquin to insertion algorithms on super tableaux. Moreover, we introduce the super evacuation procedure as an involution on super tableaux and we show its compatibility with the super plactic congruence. Finally, we describe the super jeu de taquin in terms of Fomin's growth diagrams in order to give a combinatorial version of the super Littlewood--Richardson rule.

description: We investigate the magnetic field dependent photo-physics of individual Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) color centers in diamond under cryogenic conditions. At distinct magnetic fields, we observe significant reductions in the NV photoluminescence rate, which indicate a marked decrease in the optical readout efficiency of the NV's ground state spin. We assign these dips to excited state level anti-crossings, which occur at magnetic fields that strongly depend on the effective, local strain environment of the NV center. Our results offer new insights into the structure of the NVs' excited states and a new tool for their effective characterization. Using this tool, we observe strong indications for strain-dependent variations of the NV's orbital g-factor, obtain new insights into NV charge state dynamics, and draw important conclusions regarding the applicability of NV centers for low-temperature quantum sensing.

description: This paper studies an efficient numerical method for solving modified Poisson-Boltzmann (MPB) equations with the self Green's function as a state equation to describe electrostatic correlations in ionic systems. Previously, the most expensive point of the MPB solver is the evaluation of Green's function. The evaluation of Green's function requires solving high-dimensional partial differential equations, which is the computational bottleneck for solving MPB equations. Numerically, the MPB solver only requires the evaluation of Green's function as the diagonal part of the inverse of the discrete elliptic differential operator of the Debye-Hückel equation. Therefore, we develop a fast algorithm by a coupling of the selected inversion and hierarchical interpolative factorization. By the interpolative factorization, our new selected inverse algorithm achieves linear scaling to compute the diagonal of the inverse of this discrete operator. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed algorithm will be demonstrated by extensive numerical results for solving MPB equations.

description: We propose a new threshold selection method for nonparametric estimation of the extremal index of stochastic processes. The discrepancy method was proposed as a data-driven smoothing tool for estimation of a probability density function. Now it is modified to select a threshold parameter of an extremal index estimator. A modification of the discrepancy statistic based on the Cramér–von Mises–Smirnov statistic ω2 is calculated by k largest order statistics instead of an entire sample. Its asymptotic distribution as k→∞ is proved to coincide with the ω2-distribution. Its quantiles are used as discrepancy values. The convergence rate of an extremal index estimate coupled with the discrepancy method is derived. The discrepancy method is used as an automatic threshold selection for the intervals and K-gaps estimators. It may be applied to other estimators of the extremal index. The performance of our method is evaluated by simulated and real data examples.

description: Many problems in the physical sciences, machine learning, and statistical inference necessitate sampling from a high-dimensional, multi-modal probability distribution. Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms, the ubiquitous tool for this task, typically rely on random local updates to propagate configurations of a given system in a way that ensures that generated configurations will be distributed according to a target probability distribution asymptotically. In high-dimensional settings with multiple relevant metastable basins, local approaches require either immense computational effort or intricately designed importance sampling strategies to capture information about, for example, the relative populations of such basins. Here we analyze an adaptive MCMC which augments MCMC sampling with nonlocal transition kernels parameterized with generative models known as normalizing flows. We focus on a setting where there is no preexisting data, as is commonly the case for problems in which MCMC is used. Our method uses: (i) a MCMC strategy that blends local moves obtained from any standard transition kernel with those from a generative model to accelerate the sampling and (ii) the data generated this way to adapt the generative model and improve its efficacy in the MCMC algorithm. We provide a theoretical analysis of the convergence properties of this algorithm, and investigate numerically its efficiency, in particular in terms of its propensity to equilibrate fast between metastable modes whose rough location is known \textit{a~priori} but respective probability weight is not. We show that our algorithm can sample effectively across large free energy barriers, providing dramatic accelerations relative to traditional MCMC algorithms.

description: We develop a practical and computationally efficient penalised estimation approach for partially linear additive models to zero-inflated binary outcome data. To facilitate estimation, B-splines are employed to approximate unknown nonparametric components. A two-stage iterative expectation-maximisation (EM) algorithm is proposed to calculate penalised spline estimates. The large-sample properties such as the uniform convergence and the optimal rate of convergence for functional estimators, and the asymptotic normality and efficiency for regression coefficient estimators are established. Further, two variance-covariance estimation approaches are proposed to provide reliable Wald-type inference for regression coefficients. We conducted an extensive Monte Carlo study to evaluate the numerical properties of the proposed penalised methodology and compare it to the competing spline method [Li and Lu. ‘Semiparametric Zero-Inflated Bernoulli Regression with Applications’, Journal of Applied Statistics, 49, 2845–2869]. The methodology is further illustrated by an egocentric network study.

description: Rare diseases are associated with difficulties in addressing unmet medical needs, lack of access to treatment, high prices, evidentiary mismatch, equity, etc. While challenges facing the development of drugs for rare diseases are experienced differently globally (i.e., higher vs. lower and middle income countries), many are also expressed transnationally, which suggests systemic issues. Pharmaceutical innovation is highly regulated and institutionalized, leading to firmly established innovation pathways. While deviating from these innovation pathways is difficult, we take the position that doing so is of critical importance. The reason is that the current model of pharmaceutical innovation alone will not deliver the quantity of products needed to address the unmet needs faced by rare disease patients, nor at a price point that is sustainable for healthcare systems. In light of the problems in rare diseases, we hold that re-thinking innovation is crucial and more room should be provided for alternative innovation pathways. We already observe a significant number and variety of new types of initiatives in the rare diseases field that propose or use alternative pharmaceutical innovation pathways which have in common that they involve a diverse set of societal stakeholders, explicitly address a higher societal goal, or both. Our position is that principles of social innovation can be drawn on in the framing and articulation of such alternative pathways, which we term here social pharmaceutical innovation (SPIN), and that it should be given more room for development. As an interdisciplinary research team in the social sciences, public health and law, the cases of SPIN we investigate are spread transnationally, and include higher income as well as middle income countries. We do this to develop a better understanding of the social pharmaceutical innovation field’s breadth and to advance changes ranging from the bedside to system levels. We seek collaborations with those working in such projects (e.g., patients and patient organisations, researchers in rare diseases, industry, and policy makers). We aim to add comparative and evaluative value to social pharmaceutical innovation, and we seek to ignite further interest in these initiatives, thereby actively contributing to them as a part of our work.

description: To study the chemical origin of life, we investigated the amino acid production probability from radiocarbon (C-14)-containing carboxylic acid via beta-decay using a newly developed Monte Carlo simulator for molecular dynamics calculation. Using the simulation, we calculated the dynamical trajectory of N-14 recoiled via C-14 beta-decay in [3-C-14]propionic acid and evaluated the staying probability of N-14 in the compound, which is the glycinium (a protonated glycine) production probability from [3-C-14]propionic acid. The glycinium production probability was calculated to be 78.7% assuming static compound structures of [3-C-14]propionic acid and a glycinium C-N binding potential energy of 3.93 eV. From calculations with various binding potential parameters, a glycinium production probability of approximately 30% was expected by simulation in case of a loose C-N binding potential energy of 2-eV.

description: In materials surveying, geology should be of maximum benefit, not as a complete informant but as a foundation for reconnaissance, assembly, and cataloging of materials. Geology in essence is a materials survey on a grand scale. Use of this science for engineering purposes involves some primary knowledge of geologic nomenclature, the basic historic approach of geologists, and the use of resources and data published by state, federal, and private agencies over a perjod of 75 years.  Recognition of the need for information on surface conditions as an aid to engineering and allied sciences is emphasized; and in response to this need, a new system of U.S.G.S. mapping is cited and illustrated in which a special map of surficial geology is prepared in conjunction with the traditional "bedrock" geologic maps.  The importance and the difficulty of converting geologic data to engineering uses are considered, and in lieu of a universally satisfactory means for accomplishing this, a few specific conversions are discussed and illustrated. Each is considered separately from the standpoint of possible materials requirements and the application of geologic methodp to the location of usable materials.

description: Embryonic development leads to the reproducible and ordered appearance of complexity from egg to adult. The successive differentiation of different cell types, that elaborates this complexity, result from the activity of gene networks and was likened by Waddington to a flow through a landscape in which valleys represent alternative fates. Geometric methods allow the formal representation of such landscapes and codify the types of behaviors that result from systems of differential equations. Results from Smale and coworkers imply that systems encompassing gene network models can be represented as potential gradients with a Riemann metric, justifying the Waddington metaphor. Here, we extend this representation to include parameter dependence and enumerate all 3-way cellular decisions realisable by tuning at most two parameters, which can be generalized to include spatial coordinates in a tissue. All diagrams of cell states vs model parameters are thereby enumerated. We unify a number of standard models for spatial pattern formation by expressing them in potential form. Turing systems appear non-potential yet in suitable variables the dynamics are low dimensional, potential, and a time independent embedding recovers the biological variables. Lateral inhibition is described by a saddle point with many unstable directions. A model for the patterning of the Drosophila eye appears as relaxation in a bistable potential. Geometric reasoning provides intuitive dynamic models for development that are well adapted to fit time-lapse data.

description: Context. The overdensity inside a cosmological sub-volume and the tidal fields from its surroundings affect the matter distribution of the region. The resulting difference between the local and global power spectra is characterized by the response function. Aims. Our aim is to provide a new, simple, and accurate formula for the power spectrum overdensity response at highly nonlinear scales based on the results of cosmological simulations and paying special attention to the lognormal nature of the density field. Methods. We measured the dark matter power spectrum amplitude as a function of the overdensity ($δ_W$) in $N$-body simulation subsamples. We show that the response follows a power-law form in terms of $(1+δ_W)$, and we provide a new fit in terms of the variance, $σ(L)$, of a sub-volume of size $L$. Results. Our fit has a similar accuracy and a comparable complexity to second-order standard perturbation theory on large scales, but it is also valid for nonlinear (smaller) scales, where perturbation theory needs higher-order terms for a comparable precision. Furthermore, we show that the lognormal nature of the overdensity distribution causes a previously unidentified bias: the power spectrum amplitude for a subsample with an average density is typically underestimated by about $-2σ^2$. Although this bias falls to the sub-percent level above characteristic scales of $200Mpch^{-1}$, taking it into account improves the accuracy of estimating power spectra from zoom-in simulations and smaller high-resolution surveys embedded in larger low-resolution volumes.

description: Dieser Artikel diskutiert die Frage, wie mithilfe der OGC-Standards SensorThings API und OGC API Features eine leichtgewichtige und gleichzeitig INSPIRE-konforme Bereitstellung von Umweltdaten erfolgen kann. Hierbei wird der entwicklerfreundliche Charakter dieser neuen Generation von Standards genutzt. Anhand eines Beispiels aus dem Bereich der Messung von Luftqualitätsdaten wird die praktische Nutzbarkeit untersucht. Im Zuge des vorgestellten Lösungsansatzes wird die OGC SensorThings API verwendet, um Messdaten bereitzustellen, während die zugehörigen Stationsdaten über die OGC API Features ausgeliefert werden. Gleichzeitig wird ein Ansatz präsentiert, wie eine Verlinkung zwischen diesen beiden Datensätzen erfolgen kann, um eine nahtlose, gemeinsame Exploration beider Typen von Daten zu ermöglichen. Aufbauend auf diesem Konzept erfolgt eine Evaluierung mithilfe etablierter Software-Pakete wie FME, 52˚North Sensor Web Server, ldproxy und GeoServer. Dieser Ansatz kann einerseits als Anregung für ähnliche Vorhaben dienen und demonstriert gleichzeitig, dass mit vergleichsweise geringem Aufwand praktische Vorteile aus aktuellen Entwicklungen im Rahmen von INSPIRE gezogen werden können. © 2022 Der/die Autor(en)

description: The aim of this paper is to develop a marginal screening method for variable screening in high-dimensional binary classification based on the Wasserstein distance accounting for the distributional difference. Many existing screening methods, such as the two-sample t-test and Kolmogorov test, have been developed under the parametric/nonparametric modeling assumptions to reduce the dimension of the predictors. However, such modeling specifications or nonparametric approaches are associated with the probability measure induced by the predictor in a Euclidean space. While many machine learning methods have successfully found the nonlinear decision boundary in the transformed space, called the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS), we consider the Wasserstein filter's capacity to detect the distributional difference between two probability measures induced by the nonlinear function of the predictor in the RKHS. Thereby, we can flexibly filter out the non-informative predictors associated with the binary classification, as well as escape the modeling assumptions required in a Euclidean space. We prove that the Wasserstein filter satisfies the sure screening property under some mild conditions. We also demonstrate the advantages of our proposed approach by comparing the finite sample performance of it with those of the existing choices through simulation studies, as well as through application to lung cancer data.

description: Background: Impaired self-awareness (i.e., a lack of insight) is experienced by most individuals who have sustained a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). During the early recovery period post-injury, these individuals may not be able to recognize their abilities and limitations, hence, negatively impacting their daily life and function. Although there are assessments and interventions to improve self-awareness after TBI, little is known about how clinicians assess and address this impairment in an inpatient rehabilitation setting. Objective: To examine how clinicians assess, report, and provide interventions for impaired self-awareness after TBI. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on interdisciplinary rehabilitation clinician entries for individuals with TBI (n = 67) who received inpatient rehabilitation within a five-year period (2014–2019). A reflexive thematic analysis was used to identify themes pertaining to self-awareness. Results: Three themes were generated to explore clinician responses to their clients’ impaired self-awareness: 1) ‘recalling and understanding’ described clinician observations of client behaviors and expressions of self-awareness, 2) ‘applying and analyzing’ identified clinicians providing relevant tasks and advice to clients, and 3) ‘evaluating and creating’ described clinicians actively interacting with clients by providing feedback, guided prompts, and a follow-up plan. Conclusion: Clinicians produced varied responses to clients’ impaired self-awareness after TBI. Findings may help to develop research priorities and integrated knowledge translation initiatives to increase evidence-based practice for impaired self-awareness after TBI.

Sharp scattering threshold for the cubic-quintic NLS in the focusing-focusing regime

description: We consider the large data scattering problem for the 2D and 3D cubic-quintic NLS in the focusing-focusing regime. Our attention is firstly restricted to the 2D space, where the cubic nonlinearity is $L^2$-critical. We establish a new type of scattering criterion that is uniquely determined by the mass of the initial data, which differs from the classical setting based on the Lyapunov functional. At the end, we also formulate a solely mass-determining scattering threshold for the 3D cubic-quintic NLS in the focusing-focusing regime.

description: When both inversion and time-reversal symmetries are broken, the critical current of a superconductor can be nonreciprocal. In this work we show that in certain classes of two-dimensional superconductors with antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling, Cooper pairs acquire a finite momentum upon the application of an in-plane magnetic field, and as a result, critical currents in the direction parallel and antiparallel to the Cooper pair momentum become unequal. This supercurrent diode effect is also manifested in the polarity-dependence of in-plane critical fields induced by a supercurrent. These nonreciprocal effects may be found in polar SrTiO$_3$ film, few-layer MoTe$_2$ in the $T_d$ phase, and twisted bilayer graphene in which the valley degrees of freedom plays the role analogous to spin.
