description: A key motivation to fasten roll-out of electric vehicles (EVs) to the market is to implement Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) functionalities. With V2G in place, EV owners can have extra freedom to interact their battery energy with power grids, namely by selling their energy to the grid when their EVs are not in use. On the other hand, EV aggregators and utility companies can leverage the flexibility of the collected energy to implement various ancillary services to the grids, which may significantly reduce costs of, for instance, running spinning reserve of traditional power plants on the grid side. However, this extra freedom also poses practical challenges in terms of how to devise a discharging strategy for a group of EVs that is fair and in some sense optimal. In this paper, we present a new design of EV discharging strategy in a typical V2G energy trading framework whilst leveraging the whale optimization algorithm in a decentralized manner, a metaheuristic algorithm that has been shown effective in solving large-scale centralized optimization problems. We demonstrate that by using simple ideas of data shuffling and aggregation, one can design an EV discharging strategy in a fair, optimal and privacy-aware manner, where the privacy refers to the fact that no critical information of EVs should be exchanged with the EV aggregator, and vice versa. The fairness implies that a common discharge rate needs to be sought for all EVs so that no one gets better benefits than others in the same V2G programme. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the efficacy of our proposed system.

 Belostoma noualhieri Montandon, 1903a: 21.
 Types.— Belostoma noualhieri was described based on the female holotype (Rio Grande do Sul) deposited in MNHN.
 Material examined.— BRAZIL. Rio Grande do Sul — 1 f (MNHN): 1898, (“Noualhier, 1898”), A. L. Montandon det. 1920 [“ 20.XII.1920 ”], [labelled as Z. oxyura], holotype. Santa Catarina — 1 f (MACN): Nova Teutônia [27 º 11’ S, 52 º 23’ W, 300–500 m], XI.1934, (F. Plaumann), J. A. de Carlo det. as B. horvathi.
Distribution.— BRAZIL: Rio Grande do Sul (De Carlo 1938), Santa Catarina (new record), São Paulo (De Carlo 1950).
Description.—Measurements (f). Total length (from apex of head to apex of hemelytra at rest) 21.2; largest width of body 9.0; median length of pronotum 3.70; greatest pronotal width 6.50.
General coloration dark brown. Anterior portion of pronotum usually with two brown marks, each near eyes.
Body elliptical. Length of anteoculus 1.19 times length of interoculus; length of rostral segment I 0.92 times length of segment II; anterior frontogenal suture longer than posterior frontogenal suture; clypeus reaching ocular line; vertex without longitudinal median carina; posterior interocular width 1.58 times length of anteoculus, 1.63 times width of eye; eyes rounded. Pronotum without longitudinal median carina; greatest pronotal width 1.76 times its length; scutellum reaching nodal line, without longitudinal median carina; prosternal keel prominent, smoothly acute at apex (Fig. 10H). Pilosity extending along genital operculum, covering entire margin of connexivum and part of sternites.
Comparative notes.—The specimen studied here agrees with the specimens studied by De Carlo (1950). Unfortunately, De Carlo did not describe its phallus.
 I suggest, based on my observations, a close relationship between this species and the species of the B. oxyurum group sensu Lauck, 1962. Moreover, according to Lauck (1962) and Nieser (1975), the presence in B. noualhieri of the anterior interocular width: width of an eye ratio of about 1.5 and the circular ventral diverticulum of the phallus, corroborate my opinion; however, a definitive conclusion must await study of male specimens of B. noualhieri.

description: Taking the non-collinear antiferromagnetic hexagonal Heusler compound Mn$_3$Ge as a reference system, the contributions to linear response phenomena arising solely from the chiral coplanar and non-coplanar spin configurations are investigated. Orbital moments, X-ray absorption, anomalous and spin Hall effects, as well as corresponding spin-orbit torques and Edelstein polarizations are studied depending on a continuous variation of the polar angle relative to the Kagome planes of corner-sharing triangles between the non-collinear antiferromagnetic and the ferromagnetic limits. By scaling the speed of light from the relativistic Dirac case to the non-relativistic limit the chirality-induced or topological contributions can be identified by suppressing the spin-orbit coupling.

description: The report contains a global workplan for SSHOC Task 3.6 with respect to SSHOC Switchboard and Virtual Collection Registry integration and extension. The milestone MS12 is described in the SSHOC GA as an “Implementation plan SSHOC Switchboard and VCR services”, verifiable by: “A flexible planning for the extension and integration of SSHOC Switchboard and VCR”. The nature of the SSHOC Switchboard and the potential and interest of the SSHOC WP3 partners to generalize and apply it within the SSH is described in SSHOC MS9. This report is a follow-up of that document, describing activities in more detail where needed and proposing a general work plan for the implementation activities. Plans for a SSHOC Virtual Collection Registry (VCR) have for now only been discussed in a limited fashion between the CLARIN ERIC and UGOE partners and not been subject to any structured interaction between all the SSHOC partners. Therefore, the current state of the implementation plan is that it covers the work on the SSHOC Switchboard, next steps will provide for the involvement of more partners and their respective interests and views for the SSHOC VCR work, expanding the initial requirements and ideas for VCR extensions and adaptations.

description: We investigate SUSY breaking mediated through the deformation of the space-time geometry due to the backreaction of a nontrivial configuration of a bulk scalar field. To illustrate its features, we work with a toy model in which the bulk is four dimensions. Using the superconformal formulation of SUGRA, we provide a systematic method of deriving the 3D effective action expressed by the superfields, which can basically be extended to 5D SUGRA straightforwardly.

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Saudi Arabia

description: Saudi Arabia is the largest country in the Arabian Peninsula, yet its genetic diversity and population structure has been little studied. This project has used analysis of forensic DNA markers, typed both conventionally (by capillary electrophoresis, CE) and by massively parallel sequencing (MPS), to characterise its genetic diversity. Ychromosomal haplotypes based on 27 STRs (short tandem repeats) were generated in 597 unrelated Saudi males, classified into five geographical sub-regions. This showed marked population structure with low diversity in the Central and Northern regions, and high diversity in the East and West. Haplogroup J1 was very predominant and showed signals of recent expansion. Comparing geographically-matched males recruited in the UK with those recruited in Saudi Arabia showed significant haplotype differences, pointing to social structure. Variation in 21 autosomal STRs was also investigated. As in the Y chromosome study, this revealed population structure, but with a different geographical pattern. Heterozygote deficiency was observed at nearly all loci, probably as a consequence of high levels of consanguineous marriage. MPS analysis (via the Verogen ForenSeq™ DNA Signature Prep Kit) of 27 autosomal STRs and 91 identity-informative single nucleotide polymorphisms (iiSNPs) revealed sequence variation that reduced both the STR-based and iiSNP-based random match probabilities. As with the autosomal CE data, evidence of consanguinity was apparent from both marker types. A global comparison showed that the Saudi sample was typical of Middle Eastern populations, with higher inbreeding than is seen in most European, African and Central/South Asian populations. Y-STR and X-STR sequence data from the same experiments revealed sequence variation in both types of markers. A population-level comparison of the Saudi Arabian X-STRs with a global sample demonstrated affinity with other Middle Eastern populations. This study has revealed population structure and the influence of consanguinity in Saudi Arabia, and provides valuable reference datasets for forensic analysis.

description: Existing analysis based on XMM-Newton/RGS spectra already shows that the G-ratio of the OVII He$α$ triplet in the inner bulge of M31 is too high to be consistent with a pure optically thin thermal plasma in collisional ionization equilibrium (CIE). Different processes that may affect properties of diffuse hot plasma were proposed, such as resonance scattering (RS) and charge exchange (CX) with cold gas. To determine which physical process(es) may be responsible for this inconsistency, we present a systematic spectroscopic analysis based on 0.8 Ms XMM-Newton/RGS data, together with complementary Chandra/ACIS-S images. The combination of these data enables us to reveal multiple non-CIE spectroscopic diagnostics, including but not limited to the large G-ratios of He$α$ triplets (OVII, NVI, and NeIX) and the high Lyman series line ratios (OVIII Ly$β$/Ly$α$ and Ly$γ$/Ly$α$, and NVII Ly$β$/Ly$α$), which are not expected for a CIE plasma, and the high iron line ratios (FeXVIII 14.2 Å/FeXVII~17 Åand FeXVII~15 Å/17 Å), which suggest much higher temperatures than other line ratios, as well as their spatial variations. Neither CX nor RS explains all these spectroscopic diagnostics satisfactorily. Alternatively, we find that an active galactic nucleus (AGN) relic scenario provides a plausible explanation for virtually all the signatures. We estimate that an AGN was present at the center of M31 about half a million years ago and that the initial ionization parameter $ξ$ of the relic plasma is in the range of 3-4.

description: We present a fast method for estimating the cosmic microwave background polarization power spectra using unbiased estimates of heuristically-weighted correlation functions. This extends the O(N_pix^(3/2)) method of Szapudi et al. (2001) to polarized data. If the sky coverage allows the correlation functions to be estimated over the full range of angular separations, they can be inverted directly with integral transforms and clean separation of the electric (E) and magnetic (B) modes of polarization is obtained exactly in the mean. We assess the level of E-B mixing that arises from apodized integral transforms when the correlation function can only be estimated for a subset of angular scales, and show that it is significant for small-area observations. We introduce new estimators to deal with this case on the spherical sky that preserve E-B separation; their construction requires an additional integration of the correlation functions but the computational cost is negligible. We illustrate our methods with application to a large-area survey with parameters similar to PLANCK, and the small-area Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization experiment. In both cases we show that the errors on the recovered power spectra are close to theoretical expectations.

title: Manganese catalysed hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds
Creators: name: Widegren, Magnus Benkt
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: The use of manganese catalysts represents a new area of research in the field of catalytic homogenous hydrogenation. This thesis covers the work on the synthesis and evaluation of manganese complexes in the hydrogenation of carbonyl groups. A N^P^N type ligand was synthesised and coordinated to ruthenium (II) and manganese (I) sources and evaluated in carbonyl reduction using hydrogen gas. The catalysts were found to be less active when compared to state-of-the-art catalysts derived from ruthenium and manganese and tridentate ligands. Both catalysts were found to work well using wet ethanol. Chapters 3-5 describe the development of new ligands derived from the PPFAPy (N-(2-methylpyridine)diphenylphosphinoferroceneamine) precursor and coordination of those ligands with manganese (I) and the evaluation of these catalysts in the hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds. The first catalyst was able to asymmetrically reduce ketones being the first reported manganese catalyst to do so using hydrogen as the reductant. The discovery of using mild bases such as potassium carbonate in hydrogenation using these catalysts was used to successfully reduce enantiomerically pure esters with minimal loss of purity. Kinetic experiments revealed the substrate to be 0th order and the catalyst 1st order in ketone hydrogenation indicating the hydrogen activation being the rate-determining step. In ester hydrogenation both the substrate and catalyst were found to be 1st order indicating that the rate-determining step was the ester reduction. By variation of the substituents on the ligand phosphine the activity of the catalyst can be altered with electron-rich phosphines increasing and electron-poor phosphines decreasing the catalytic activity. An electron-donating group in the 4-position of the pyridine gave a further increase in the activity, whilst an electron-withdrawing group in the same position led to a lowering in activity. The best combination was found to be an electron-rich phosphine paired with an electron-rich pyridine. The active manganese catalyst was able to reduce acetophenone at a catalyst loading of 0.01 mol%. Minimal impact on enantioselectivity was found with the substitution on either the phosphine or pyridine. The solubility of the catalysts was significantly improved by the increased substitution of the ligands.

description: On the basis of historical linguistic and language geographic evidence, the authors advance the novel hypothesis that the Munda languages originated on the east coast of India after their Austroasiatic precursor arrived via a maritime route from Southeast Asia, 3,500 to 4,000 years ago. Based on the linguistic evidence, we argue that pre-Proto-Munda arose in Mainland Southeast Asia after the spread of rice agriculture in the late Neolithic period, sometime after 4,500 years ago. A small Austroasiatic population then brought pre-Proto-Munda by means of a maritime route across the Bay of Bengal to the Mahanadi Delta region – an important hub location for maritime trade in historic and pre-historic times. The interaction with a local South Asian population gave rise to proto-Munda and the Munda branch of Austroasiatic. The Maritime Hypothesis accounts for the linguistic evidence better than other scenarios such as an Indian origin of Austroasiatic or a migration from Southeast Asia through the Brahmaputra basin. The available evidence from archaeology and genetics further supports the hypothesis of a small founder population of Austroasiatic speakers arriving in Odisha from Southeast Asia before the Aryan conquest in the Iron-Age.

description: A non-associative algebra over a field $\mathbb{K}$ is a $\mathbb{K}$-vector space $A$ equipped with a bilinear operation \[ {A\times A\to A\colon\; (x,y)\mapsto x\cdot y=xy}. \] The collection of all non-associative algebras over $\mathbb{K}$, together with the product-preserving linear maps between them, forms a variety of algebras: the category $\mathsf{Alg}_\mathbb{K}$. The multiplication need not satisfy any additional properties, such as associativity or the existence of a unit. Familiar categories such as the varieties of associative algebras, Lie algebras, etc. may be found as subvarieties of $\mathsf{Alg}_\mathbb{K}$ by imposing equations, here $x(yz)=(xy)z$ (associativity) or $xy =- yx$ and $x(yz)+z(xy)+ y(zx)=0$ (anti-commutativity and the Jacobi identity), respectively. The aim of these lectures is to explain some basic notions of categorical algebra from the point of view of non-associative algebras, and vice versa. As a rule, the presence of the vector space structure makes things easier to understand here than in other, less richly structured categories. We explore concepts like normal subobjects and quotients, coproducts and protomodularity. On the other hand, we discuss the role of (non-associative) polynomials, homogeneous equations, and how additional equations lead to reflective subcategories.

description: The IEEE 802.11p, which operates at 5.9 GHz, is a standard used for vehicle communications. This thesis presents new measurements of the propagation channel by using new devices such as LocoMate mini2 to measure network performance, signal strength and Doppler propagation conducted for five different non-perpendicular intersections in Leicester, UK.The study found that the received power and network performance were lower at intersections with fewer buildings. The high signal strength positively correlated to the presence of buildings via multipath propagation. The signal strength measurements were compared with predictions of the path loss model (virtualsource11p) and an average error was found below 5 dB for measurements in these intersections. The model fits well with most measurements but minor modifications to the model are proposed to increase accuracy.The relationship between car size and Doppler spread is another observation of this study. It is shown that there is a larger Doppler spread when the size of this car is larger. The placement of the antennas also influences the performance. Measurements were taken with different configurations of the transmitter antenna. Results show that changing the height of the transmitter has a strong effect on the received signal within the LOS region, but little effect at greater distances. The addition of an antenna ground plane has a similar effect to changing the height.Finally, GEMV2-based simulations were performed to show the effects of vehicle and building numbers on the path loss of the V2V communication channel. The results showed that the density of vehicles causes a decrease in the received power when there are few buildings near the road. On the other hand, in intersections with more buildings, the buildings have more effect on the signal attenuation than the number of vehicles.

description: We study the origin of cores and density profiles of gaseous baryonic structures in cosmology. By treating the baryons as a viscous gas, we find that both spheres and disks are possible solutions. We find analytically that the density profiles have inner and outer solutions, which in general are different. For disks we identify a central core, with density profile rho_d = constant, and the outer profile rho_d ~ r^{-3}. For spherical structures we find the profile rho_s ~ r^{-6}. In the presence of a dominating central black hole we find the inner profile rho ~ r^{-3/2}. When the mass is dominated by a dark matter component then the baryonic density profile will depend on the dark matter profile, and we point out how one can use this connection to infer the DM profile directly by observing the baryonic density profile.

Use of Face-Mask Sampling as a Means of Characterising the Microbiota Exhaled from Human Respiratory Tract in Health and Disease

description: Introduction: Facemasks carrying a gelatine sampling matrix have been used to sample exhalations from TB patients. The aim here was to further develop this approach by evaluating molecular detection, quantitation and capture of signals in healthy volunteers and in HIV-uninfected patients with suspected Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP).Methods: DNA isolation was optimised with NaOH or collagenase to dissolve gelatine followed by bead beating. Assays for selected marker and degradative proteins were established as were six 16SrDNA-directed qPCRs with different phylogenetic specificities. Mask samples were taken from healthy volunteers over 15, 30 and 60 minutes with four different respiratory efforts. Pathogen detection was tested in patients with suspected PJP (MtLSU target) and a subset of samples were subjected to microbiome profiling.Results: In healthy volunteers, capture of exhaled bacteria appeared maximal at 15 minutes while accumulation continued up to 60 for proteins. Reading-out loud produced most SP-A, albumin and α-amylase. P. jirovecii was detected in 7/20 patients diagnosed and 3/19 patients suspected but not diagnosed with PJP. The median captured signal was 8.59 x 104 (IQR= 3.01 x 105 – 1.81 x 104) MtLSU copies/mask. Blood β-D-Glucan results correlated with the mask results (Spearman r=0.65; p<0.0001) while other relevant clinical indices did not. Microbiome results provided further evidence for different microbial outputs between individuals and with different respiratory efforts and samples. However, the sampling system provided a high background 16S signal.Conclusion: The mask approach has been significantly improved towards sampling material exhaled from the upper and lower respiratory tracts with evidence that different breathing activities produce different yields. Sampling in suspected PJP adds diagnostic likelihood in cases with positive β-D-Glucan results and reinforces evidence that P. jirovecii is an airborne infection. Microbiome studies revealed several differences, but conclusions were limited by high background signals. Mask sampling is promising non-invasive investigative and diagnostic tool.

description: We develop a minimalist compartmental model to study the impact of mobility restrictions in Italy during the Covid-19 outbreak. We show that an early lockdown shifts the epidemic in time, while that beyond a critical value of the lockdown strength, the epidemic tend to restart after lifting the restrictions. As a consequence, specific mitigation strategies must be introduced. We characterize the relative importance of different broad strategies by accounting for two fundamental sources of heterogeneity, i.e. geography and demography. First, we consider Italian regions as separate administrative entities, in which social interactions between age classs occur. Due to the sparsity of the inter-regional mobility matrix, once started the epidemics tend to develop independently across areas, justifying the adoption of solutions specific to individual regions or to clusters of regions. Second, we show that social contacts between age classes play a fundamental role and that measures which take into account the age structure of the population can provide a significant contribution to mitigate the rebound effects. Our model is general, and while it does not analyze specific mitigation strategies, it highlights the relevance of some key parameters on non-pharmaceutical mitigation mechanisms for the epidemics.

description: Mapping the behaviour of dark energy is a pressing task for observational cosmology. Phenomenological classification divides dynamical dark energy models into freezing and thawing, depending on whether the dark energy equation of state is approaching or moving away from $w=p/ρ=-1$. Moreover, in realistic dynamical dark energy models the dynamical degree of freedom is expected to couple to the electromagnetic sector, leading to variations of the fine-structure constant $α$. We discuss the feasibility of distinguishing between the freezing and thawing classes of models with current and forthcoming observational facilities and using a parametrisation of the dark energy equation of state, which can have either behaviour, introduced by Mukhanov as fiducial paradigm. We illustrate how freezing and thawing models lead to different redshift dependencies of $α$, and use a combination of current astrophysical observations and local experiments to constrain this class of models, improving the constraints on the key coupling parameter by more than a factor of two, despite considering a more extended parameter space than the one used in previous studies. We also briefly discuss the improvements expected from future facilities and comment on the practical limitations of this class of parametrisations. In particular, we show that sufficiently sensitive data can distinguish between freezing and thawing models, at least if one assumes that the relevant parameter space does not include phantom dark energy models.

The method is based on the standard Moyal formalism for R^2 adapted to (S^1 x R) by the Weil--Brezin--Zak transformation. The results are compared with other solutions of this problem presented by Kasperkovitz and Peev (Ann. Phys. vol. 230, 21 (1994)0 and by Plebanski and collaborators (Acta Phys. Pol. vol. B 31}, 561 (2000)). The equivalence of these three methods is proved.
