Instability of Non-uniform Toroidal Magnetic Fields in Accretion Disks

description: A new type of instability that is expected to drive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence from a purely toroidal magnetic field in an accretion disk is presented. It is already known that in a differentially rotating system, the uniform toroidal magnetic field is unstable due to a magnetorotational instability (MRI) under a non-axisymmetric and vertical perturbation, while it is stable under a purely vertical perturbation. Contrary to the previous study, this paper proposes an unstable mode completely confined to the equatorial plane, driven by the expansive nature of the magnetic pressure gradient force under a non-uniform toroidal field. The basic nature of this growing eigenmode, to which we give a name "magneto-gradient driven instability", is studied using linear analysis, and the corresponding nonlinear evolution is then investigated using two-dimensional ideal MHD simulations. Although a single localized magnetic field channel alone cannot provide sufficient Maxwell stress to contribute significantly to the angular momentum transport, we find that the mode coupling between neighboring toroidal fields under multiple localized magnetic field channels drastically generates a highly turbulent state and leads to the enhanced transport of angular momentum, comparable to the efficiency seen in previous studies on MRIs. This horizontally confined mode may play an important role in the saturation of an MRI through complementray growth with the toroidal MHDs and coupling with magnetic reconnection.

description: We study effects of the hadronic rescattering on final observables especially for multi-strange hadrons such as $ϕ$, $Ξ$ and $Ω$ in high-energy heavy-ion collisions within an integrated dynamical approach. In this approach, (3+1)-dimensional ideal hydrodynamics is combined with a microscopic transport model, JAM. We simulate the collisions with or without hadronic rescatterings and compare observables between these two options so that we quantify the effects of the hadronic rescattering. We find that the mean transverse momentum and the elliptic flow parameter of multi-strange hadrons are less affected by hadronic rescattering and, as a result, the mass ordering of the $p_T$-differential elliptic flow parameter $v_2(p_T)$ is violated: At the RHIC and the LHC energies the $v_2(p_T)$ for $ϕ$-mesons is larger than that for protons in the low-$p_T$ regions.

description: III-V based solar cells are currently the most efficient devices for GEO and LEO satellites. CESI developed such InGaP/InGaAs/Ge solar cells with 30% efficiency class and successfully completed the qualification under LEO and GEO environment. The improvement in efficiency was obtained by introducing a Bragg Reflector below the middle sub cell and tuning the electrical field inside the active region of the junctions. The two combined strategies resulted in an improved hardness to electron and proton irradiation when high energy particles are involved. This paper summarizes the qualification results and in particular shows the results of the irradiation with 1 MeV electrons and with protons of different energies, from 100 keV to 10 MeV, on the triple junction solar cells CTJ30. The results highlight in particular the achievement of very high remaining factors for all doses with 10MeV protons. The preliminary evaluation on the electron irradiation of four junction lattice matched solar cells AlInGaP/AlInGaAs/InGaAs/Ge is also reported.

description: BiMnO3 (BMO), ferromagnetic (FM) below Tc = 100 K, was believed to be also ferroelectric (FE) due to a non-centro-symmetric C2 structure, until diffraction data indicated that its space group is the centro-symmetric C2/c. Here we present infrared phonon spectra of BMO, taken on a mosaic of single crystals, which are consistent with C2/c at any T > 10 K, as well as room-temperature Raman data which strongly support this conclusion. We also find that the infrared intensity of several phonons increases steadily for decreasing T, causing the relative permittivity of BMO to vary from 18.5 at 300 K to 45 at 10 K. At variance with FE materials of displacive type, no appreciable softening has been found in the infrared phonons. Both their frequencies and intensities, moreover, appear insensitive to the FM transition at Tc.

description: This paper studies the technical, economic and environmental analysis of wind and photovoltaic power systems
connected to a conventional grid. The main interest in such systems is on-site consumption of the produced energy, system
hybridization, pooling of resources and contribution to the environment protection. To ensure a better management of system energy, models have been developed for determining the power that the constituting subsystems can deliver under specific weather conditions. Simulation of the different subsystems is performed using MATLAB-SIMULINK. While, the economic and environmental study is performed using HOMER software. From an economic point of view, this allows to compare the financial constraints on each part of the system for the case of Adrar site which is located to the northern part of the south of Algeria (27.59 ° N, 0.11 ° W). It also permits to optimally size and select the system presenting the best features on the basis of two parameters, i.e. cost and effectiveness. From an environmental point of view, this study allows highlighting the role of renewable energy in reducing gas emissions related to greenhouse effects. In addition, through a set of sensitivity analysis, it is found that the wind speed has more effects on the environmental and economic performance of grid-connected hybrid (photovoltaic-wind) power systems.

description: Presented is a model of photo-induced annealing of radiation defects. Photo-induced annealing of the
AlGaAs/GaAs solar cells irradiated by 3 MeV electrons at sunlight concentration rates of 250 and 500 has been
investigated. Parameters of the elaborated model have been determined. Simulation of radiation degradation of
GaInP/GaInAs/Ge solar cells with built-in Bragg reflectors at irradiation by 3 MeV electrons with allowing for photoinduced
annealing has been carried out. It has been shown that the defects created by these particles can be annealed out
quite easily, which results in a substantial decrease of the rate of the radiation degradation of the triple-junction SCs, and,
after a doze of 3·1015 cm-2 of 3 MeV electrons, it is possible to obtain the efficiency by 5 % greater compared with the
estimation obtained without allowing for the photo-induced annealing.

Electrical conductivity of the lowermost mantle explains absorption of core torsional waves at the equator

description: Torsional Alfv{é}n waves propagating in the Earth's core have been inferred by inversion techniques applied to geomagnetic models. They appear to propagate across the core but vanish at the equator, exchanging angular momentum between core and mantle. Assuming axial symmetry, we find that an electrically conducting layer at the bottom of the mantle can lead to total absorption of torsional waves that reach the equator. We show that the reflection coefficient depends on G Br , where Br is the strength of the radial magnetic field at the equator, and G the conductance of the lower mantle there. With Br = 7e-4 T., torsional waves are completely absorbed when they hit the equator if G = 1.3e8 S. For larger or smaller G, reflection occurs. As G is increased above this critical value, there is less attenuation and more angular momentum exchange. Our finding dissociates efficient core-mantle coupling from strong ohmic dissipation in the mantle.

1 sun AM0 illumination conditions, using a solar simulator connected to the irradiation chamber through a
borosilicate glass window. Ex-situ characterization techniques included dark and 1 sun AM0 illumination I-V
measurements. Furthermore, numerical simulation of the devices using D-AMPS-1D code together with calculations
based on the TRIM software were performed in order to gain physical insight on the experimental results. The
experiment also included the proton irradiation of an unprocessed Ge solar cell structure as well as the irradiation of a
bare Ge(100) substrate. Ex-situ material characterization, after radioactive deactivation of the samples, includes

title: Preparation of resveratrol and quercetin derivatives and their effects on antioxidant and biological activities
Creators: name: Oh, Won Young
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2018

description:
Resveratrol and quercetin, two representative polyphenolics found in red wine, onions, and many other sources, have been well documented for having numerous health benefits such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, and anticancer effects. Despite their health-related beneficial properties, their widespread use in lipophilic media such as lipid-based foods and cosmetic formulations is restricted due to their hydrophilicity. Moreover, phenolic compounds, including flavonoids, generally undergo extensive metabolism after consumption, thus they have low bioavailabilities. Even if these compounds can survive from metabolism, they can hardly penetrate lipophilic cell membrane bilayers. One possible solution to this problem is to modify their structures which can be carried out simply as a first approach via esterification. Esterification with fatty acids can enhance lipophilicity that would improve their use in different lipophilic media. Moreover, in the case of esterification with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), potential health benefits may be enhanced due to the presence of both phenolics and certain healthful PUFA such as those of the omega-3 family. For this reason, fatty acids of different chain length and degree of unsaturation (C3:0-C22:6) were employed as acyl donors. The resveratrol and quercetin derivatives so prepared were evaluated for their antioxidant activities in different systems, such as the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay; the 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical cation scavenging assay; a bulk oil system; β-carotene bleaching assay; a hydroxyl radical-induced DNA scission assay, and the copper-induced lowdensity lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation assay. Selected resveratrol derivatives were further evaluated for their antioxidant activity and cell viabilities (A431, MCF7, HT-29, and AGS cells). All test compounds showed antioxidant activity in a system-dependent manner. The resveratrol and quercetin derivatives showed a decreased radical scavenging activity compared to their parent molecules. However, some derivatives exhibited a similar and/or a better antioxidant activity than resveratrol and quercetin themselves in different systems, such as in the bulk oil assay and copper-induced low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation assays. In this work, both resveratrol and quercetin derivatives showed potential use in lipophilic systems, therefore they might serve as possible functional food ingredients as well as health promoting supplements.

description: Purpose: Although articulatory impairment represents distinct speech characteristics in most neurological diseases affecting movement, methods allowing automated assessments of articulation deficits from the connected speech are scarce. This study aimed to design a fully automated method for analyzing dysarthria-related vowel articulation impairment and estimate its sensitivity in a broad range of neurological diseases and various types and severities of dysarthria.Method: Unconstrained monologue and reading passages were acquired from 459 speakers, including 306 healthy controls and 153 neurological patients. The algorithm utilized a formant tracker in combination with a phoneme recognizer and subsequent signal processing analysis.Results: Articulatory undershoot of vowels was presented in a broad spectrum of progressive neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple-system atrophy, Huntington’s disease, essential tremor, cerebellar ataxia, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, as well as in related dysarthria subtypes including hypokinetic, hyperkinetic, ataxic, spastic, flaccid, and their mixed variants. Formant ratios showed a higher sensitivity to vowel deficits than vowel space area. First formants of corner vowels were significantly lower for multiple-system atrophy than cerebellar ataxia. Second formants of vowels /a/ and /i/ were lower in ataxic compared to spastic dysarthria. Discriminant analysis showed a classification score of up to 41.0% for disease type, 39.3% for dysarthria type, and 49.2% for dysarthria severity. Algorithm accuracy reached an F-score of 0.77.Conclusions: Distinctive vowel articulation alterations reflect underlying pathophysiology in neurological diseases. Objective acoustic analysis of vowel articulation has the potential to provide a universal method to screen motor speech disorders.Supplemental Material S1.

description: The reliability of PV devices and systems is a key factor in both space and terrestrial applications,
although the approaches used to date are fundamentally different. Space solar array reliability is the ability to perform
the required functions for specific mission environment and duration. Performance is calculated taking into account
the different parameters correlated to expected losses and random failures that might occur. For this reason “on
ground” life testing of flight representative test devices under “in orbit” representative conditions is essential. In the
case of PV for terrestrial concentrator applications, the IEC's product qualification test standards aim to minimise
early failures and assure a sufficient level of reliability to create a commercial product market. Life tests as such are
not used. Nonetheless the commonalities between the multi-junction PV devices used in both applications suggest
that more scientific exchange on methods regarding reliability analysis can be mutually beneficial. The paper
identifies a series of such issues for further development.

description: Purpose: Our study addresses three main questions: (a) Do autistics and neurotypicals produce different patterns of disfluencies, depending on the experimenter’s direct versus averted gaze? (b) Are these patterns correlated to gender, skin conductance responses, fixations on the experimenter’s face, alexithymia, or social anxiety scores? Lastly, (c) can eye-tracking and electrodermal activity data be used in distinguishing listener- versus speaker-oriented disfluencies?Method: Within a live face-to-face paradigm combining a wearable eye-tracker with electrodermal activity sensors, 80 adults (40 autistics, 40 neurotypicals) defined words in front of an experimenter who was either staring at their eyes (direct gaze condition) or looking elsewhere (averted gaze condition).Results: Autistics produce less listener-oriented (uh, um) and more speaker-oriented (prolongations, breath) disfluencies than neurotypicals. In both groups, men produce less um than women. Both autistics’ and neurotypicals’ speech are influenced by whether their interlocutor systematically looks at them in the eyes or not, but their reactions go in opposite directions. Disfluencies seem to primarily be linguistic phenomena as experienced stress, social attention, alexithymia, and social anxiety scores do not influence any of the reported results. Finally, eye-tracking and electrodermal activity data suggest that laughter could be a listener-oriented disfluency.Conclusions: This article studies disfluencies in a fine-grained way in autistic and neurotypical adults while controlling for social attention, experienced stress, and experimental condition (direct vs. averted gaze). It adds to current literature by (a) enlightening our knowledge of speech in autism, (b) opening new perspectives on disfluency patterns as important signals in social interaction, (c) addressing theoretical issues on the dichotomy between listener- and speaker-oriented disfluencies, and (d) considering understudied phenomena as potential disfluencies (e.g., laughter, breath).Supplemental Method S1.

Terrestrial Concentrator Systems

description: 28th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 555-558
description: dynamic parameters of concentrator crystalline silicon solar cells (CSC) were measured
and determined within wide temperature range from 233 to 353 K and within frequencies ranging from 50 Hz to
1 MHz. Measurements were performed under forward and reverse bias voltages and in dark conditions using the RLC
bridge technique. The main benefit of this work is the evaluation of important solar cell parameters like minority
carrier lifetime, diode factor, solar cell capacitance and dynamic resistance from measured and calculated impedance
data.
Towards a Theoretical Understanding of the XYZ Mesons from QCD
Creators: name: Braaten, Eric
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The XYZ mesons are mesons that contain a heavy quark and antiquark but have properties that seem to require additional constituents. Some of them are electrically charged, so they must be tetraquark mesons whose additional constituents are a light quark and antiquark. The list of XYZ mesons has grown to about two dozen over the last decade. A promising approach to understanding these mesons within QCD is the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, which reduces the problem to the solution of the Schrodinger equation in potentials that can be calculated using lattice QCD. The Born-Oppenheimer approximation has not yet revealed the pattern of the XYZ mesons, but it provides a compelling framework for understanding them from the fundamental theory.

PV Applications without a Centralised Grid

description: A key issue arising in developing countries is the availability of water and the ability to access. Solar
energy is potentially able to contribute in providing safe water from the deep wells which are far away from the
national grid electricity. This work evaluates the efficiency, the energy yield and the total cost of power supply for a
pumping system in an agricultural cultivation in Patras, Greece, latitude 380, by two different supply systems, an
autonomous photovoltaic system and a grid connected one. Taking into consideration the performance of three
technologies of modules (poly-Si, mono-Si and Copper Indium Diselenide) under the particular environmental
conditions, an economic PV installation has been chosen. For the purposes of this sizing we have recorded the
monthly energy produced for the period of watering which is in agreement when compared to the theoretical one
extacted from the PV*Sol program. The PV pumping system consists of poly-Si Sharp NE-80E2E modules, the water
pump (Lorentz PS 200 HR) and a watertank of 7 m3 capacity. During the day the load is satisfied directly from the
PV generator. The installed power is 160 Wp and the total cost (for drip irrigation during the night saving 70% in
water) is ~19% lower than in the case of grid connection.
Learning zero-cost portfolio selection with pattern matching

description: We consider and extend the adversarial agent-based learning approach of Gy{ö}rfi {\it et al} to the situation of zero-cost portfolio selection implemented with a quadratic approximation derived from the mutual fund separation theorems. The algorithm is applied to daily sampled sequential Open-High-Low-Close data and sequential intraday 5-minute bar-data from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). Statistical tests of the algorithms are considered. The algorithms are directly compared to standard NYSE test cases from prior literature. The learning algorithm is used to select parameters for agents (or experts) generated by pattern matching past dynamics using a simple nearest-neighbour search algorithm. It is shown that there is a speed advantage associated with using an analytic solution of the mutual fund separation theorems. It is argued that the expected loss in performance does not undermine the potential application to intraday quantitative trading and that when transactions costs and slippage are considered the strategies can still remain profitable when unleveraged. The paper demonstrates that patterns in financial time-series on the JSE can be systematically exploited in collective but that this does not imply predictability of the individual asset time-series themselves.

description: 28th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 489-494
description: The aim of this work was to find a cost-efficient alternative interconnection process. A combination of
high efficiency grooved solar cell interconnect wires, and an adhesive process replacing the standard soldering
process was investigated. These grooved solar interconnect wires (light capturing ribbons, LCRTM of Ulbrich)
increase the efficiency of solar cells and modules by reflecting more light back onto the surface. Additionally, the
application of conductive adhesives (of SoltaBond) makes a good mechanical bonding as well as electrical
conductivity between the grooved interconnect wires and the surface of a solar cell possible.

PV Applications without a Centralised Grid

description: 28th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 4437-4442
description: This paper presents a follow-up and addition to a
system sizing spreadsheet, detailed in [1], with a
focus on sizing or verifying the employability of
an off-grid PV-battery system for night lighting. A
dimensionless criterion, the Battery Usable Fraction
UFbatt is defined, which aids both the calculations
of systems and allows an approximate comparison
of batteries, regardless of the employed battery
chemistry. The outputs from the calculations
allow users to rapidly identify whether a chosen or
designed system will perform as desired. Further,
as it provides a basic temperature-dependent battery
capacity model, the influence of ambient conditions
can be taken into account. This influence of
the ambient conditions is shown to be very
important, particularly in cases where the system is
designed with little room for error with regards to
climatological conditions. Measurements performed
indicate that a good approximation for the battery
temperature in a PV-battery lighting system is
the average of the ambient temperature and the
integrated PV module backsheet temperature.

description: Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are ideal probes of the epoch of the first stars and galaxies. We review the recent theoretical understanding of the formation and evolution of the first (so-called Population III) stars, in light of their viability of providing GRB progenitors. We proceed to discuss possible unique observational signatures of such bursts, based on the current formation scenario of long GRBs. These include signatures related to the prompt emission mechanism, as well as to the afterglow radiation, where the surrounding intergalactic medium might imprint a telltale absorption spectrum. We emphasize important remaining uncertainties in our emerging theoretical framework.

description: For more than five decades, photovoltaic technology has seen continuous improvements, as costs have
been consistently lowered, processes have been simplified and temperatures lowered. While significant
improvements have been made at the cell level, limitations remain at the module level or at the interface between the
cell and the module, which is known as the cell metallization-interconnection. Meyer Burger develops the Smart
Wire Connection Technology (SWCT) required to close this gap and get the highest possible benefit out of highefficiency
solar cell performance. SWCT technology implies a change of paradigm. It requires the combination of
lamination and interconnection into a single lamination step. Moreover, the module's silver paste consumption can be
significantly reduced (< 2.4g/60 cells module) and even eliminated when Cu plating is used. There are also fewer
electrical and optical losses thanks to the shorter length of the fingers and better light in-coupling than standard
ribbon technologies.

description: Utilization of mechanical bonding has attracted significant attention since this approach allows direct
integration of lattice-mismatched hetero-structure devices grown on different substrates in III–V multi-junction solar
cells (MJ-SCs). In our approach, metal nanoparticle arrays and van der Waals bonding were integrated in order to
minimize both series resistance and transmission losses. In this paper, we demonstrate proof-of-concept mechanically
stacked InGaP/GaAs/InGaAsP/InGaAs 4J-SCs. A wide-gap InGaP/GaAs 2J-SC was exfoliated from a GaAs
substrate by using an epitaxial lift-off technique. Then, the wide-gap 2J-SC was transferred onto a narrow-gap
InGaAsP/InGaAs 2J-SC grown on an InP substrate through Pd nanoparticle arrays. The photovoltaic performance
showed an excellent open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 3.05 V with a fill factor of 0.726 at 1sun (AM1.5) illumination. A
total efficiency of 25.3% was achieved for the mechanically stacked 4J-SC.

description: We consider the problem of an overdamped Brownian particle moving in multiscale potential with N + 1 characteristic length scales: the macroscale and N separated microscales. We show that the coarse-grained dynamics is given by an overdamped Langevin equation with respect to the free energy and with a space dependent diffusion tensor, the calculation of which requires the solution of N fully coupled Poisson equations. We study in detail the structure of the bifurcation diagram for one-dimensional problems and we show that the multiscale structure in the potential leads to hysteresis effects and to noise-induced transitions. Furthermore, we obtain an explicit formula for the effective diffusion coefficient for a self-similar separable potential and we investigate the limit of infinitely many small scales.

parameters with energy storage systems on the basis of electric double layer capacitors integrated in their structure.
The numerical model of the PV module with the integrated energy storage capacitor is developed. Using the model,
the calculations of the system operation at shadowing of various durations have been carried out.
