description: We propose a method of optimally controlling the tradeoff of speed and fidelity of state transfer through a noisy quantum channel (spin-chain). This process is treated as qubit state-transfer through a fermionic bath. We show that dynamical modulation of the boundary-qubits levels can ensure state transfer with the best tradeoff of speed and fidelity. This is achievable by dynamically optimizing the transmission spectrum of the channel. The resulting optimal control is robust against both static and fluctuating noise in the channel's spin-spin couplings. It may also facilitate transfer in the presence of diagonal disorder (on site energy noise) in the channel.

description: This thesis presents the modelling of the interaction of radiation and the composition of the Earth's atmosphere with the next generation modelling system ICON-ART. The ICOsahedral Non hydrostatic model with Aerosols and Reactive Trace gases (ICON-ART) provides a suitable environment for atmospheric composition studies on weather and climate time scales. Most global climate models or numerical weather prediction models use simplifications in solving the radiative transfer equation to save computational time. In this thesis, the validation of a more advanced module for solving the radiative transfer equation is presented. This module allows a consistent treatment of the actinic flux calculation and also the radiative net flux calculation. For the first time, photolysis rate calculations are performed with the technique of local grid refinement of ICON. For validation, aircraft campaign data are compared to ICON-ART simulations on a statistical basis. Furthermore, the question on the quantification of the radiative impact of clouds on photolysis rates is addressed. The second part of this thesis focuses on the radiative impact of water vapour and ozone on the atmosphere. Here, AMIP type integrations using a simplified chemistry scheme in conjunction with the climate physics configuration are performed and analysed in comparison to ERA-Interim. Two different simulations are used: The interactive simulation, where modelled ozone is coupled back to the radiation scheme and the non-interactive simulation that uses a default background climatology of ozone. Additionally, a chemical source term for water vapour for the interactive simulation is introduced. For the interactive and non-interactive simulation, the water vapour tape recorder is investigated as a measure of tropical upwelling changes in the atmospheric dynamics. Additionally, the seasonal evolution and latitudinal distribution of age of air is studied. Net flux, calculated with the validated module for photolysis rate calculations is used for shortwave heating rate calculations in a consistent way. The further development of ICON-ART allows for the usage of these calculations in climate integrations. The results for the standard radiation module of ICON are compared to the results of this advanced approach. Changes in the age of air tracer indicate that the ICON-ART model benefits from this development. The improved representation of the stratospheric overturning circulation by interactive heating rate calculations is discussed in the last chapter of this thesis.

description: After an introduction, the main report includes two extensive chapters with a review of the European editions of the Solar Decathlon between 2010 and 2019. 65 solar-powered competition buildings with numerous innovations were created in the four competitions. While chapter 2 focuses on building design and construction, chapter 3 focuses on energy engineering. Both chapters contain extensive cross-sectional analyses, tables and comparative graphs. Based on chapter 3, a comprehensive journal paper was published in the Energy and Buildings journal titled “Solar Decathlon Europe – A Review on the Energy Engineering of Experimental Solar Powered Houses”. The presentation provides the background knowledge for the future development of the competition format. At the same time, it already shows which impulses have been introduced for the next edition in 2022 in Germany as a result of the analyses carried out. These include, among other things, the introduction of significantly improved documentation of the competition entries in terms of their characteristics and performance indicators. It has become apparent that the previous type of documentation was only suitable for cross-sectional analyses to a very limited extent.

description: 30% of the DNA in E. coli bacteria is covered by proteins. Such high degree of crowding affect the dynamics of generic biological processes (e.g. gene regulation, DNA repair, protein diffusion etc.) in ways that are not yet fully understood. In this paper, we theoretically address the diffusion constant of a tracer particle in a one dimensional system surrounded by impenetrable crowder particles. While the tracer particle always stays on the lattice, crowder particles may unbind to a surrounding bulk and rebind at another or the same location. In this scenario we determine how the long time diffusion constant ${\cal D}$ (after many unbinding events) depends on (i) the unbinding rate of crowder particles $k_{\rm off}$, and (ii) crowder particle line density $ρ$, from simulations (Gillespie algorithm) and analytical calculations. For small $k_{\rm off}$, we find ${\cal D}\sim k_{\rm off}/ρ^2$ when crowder particles are immobile on the line, and ${\cal D}\sim \sqrt{D k_{\rm off}}/ρ$ when they are diffusing; $D$ is the free particle diffusion constant. For large $k_{\rm off}$, we find agreement with mean-field results which do not depend on $k_{\rm off}$. From literature values of $k_{\rm off}$ and $D$, we show that the small $k_{\rm off}$-limit is relevant for in vivo protein diffusion on a crowded DNA. Our results applies to single-molecule tracking experiments.

description: There is no doubt about the fact that entanglement and nonlocality are distinct resources. It is acknowledged that a clear illustration of this point is the difference between maximally entangled states and states that maximally violate a Bell inequality. We give strong evidence that this anomaly may be an artefact of the measures that have been used to quantify nonlocality. By reasoning that the numeric value of a Bell function is akin to a witness rather than a quantifier, we define a measure of nonlocality and show that, for pairs of qutrits and of four-level systems, maximal entanglement does correspond to maximal nonlocality in the same scenario that gave rise to the discrepancy.

description: Human computation is a computing approach that draws upon human cognitive abilities to solve computational tasks for which there are so far no satisfactory fully automated solutions even when using the most advanced computing technologies available. Human computation for citizen science projects consists in designing systems that allow large crowds of volunteers to contribute to scientific research by executing human computation tasks. Examples of successful projects are Galaxy Zoo and FoldIt. A key feature of this kind of project is its capacity to engage volunteers. An important requirement for the proposal and evaluation of new engagement strategies is having a clear understanding of the typical engagement of the volunteers; however, even though several projects of this kind have already been completed, little is known about this issue. In this paper, we investigate the engagement pattern of the volunteers in their interactions in human computation for citizen science projects, how they differ among themselves in terms of engagement, and how those volunteer engagement features should be taken into account for establishing the engagement encouragement strategies that should be brought into play in a given project. To this end, we define four quantitative engagement metrics to measure different aspects of volunteer engagement, and use data mining algorithms to identify the different volunteer profiles in terms of the engagement metrics. Our study is based on data collected from two projects: Galaxy Zoo and The Milky Way Project. The results show that the volunteers in such projects can be grouped into five distinct engagement profiles that we label as follows: hardworking, spasmodic, persistent, lasting, and moderate. The analysis of these profiles provides a deeper understanding of the nature of volunteers' engagement in human computation for citizen science projects

description: New continuous wavelets of compact support are introduced, which are related to the beta distribution. They can be built from probability distributions using 'blur'derivatives. These new wavelets have just one cycle, so they are termed unicycle wavelets. They can be viewed as a soft variety of Haar wavelets whose shape is fine-tuned by two parameters a and b. Close expressions for beta wavelets and scale functions as well as their spectra are derived. Their importance is due to the Central Limit Theorem applied for compactly supported signals.

description: In this Case Study, the COGMCI Software team discusses (i) the best size of an engine CHP system for an equatorial climate mall and (ii) what the efficiency indicators tell us about the system performance? What performance indicator should be used when looking to reduce the CO2 emission? To start the discussion, COGMCI software is used to simulate and predict the performance of eight different engine CHP case studies for a mall supposed to be located in Singapore. An 8760 hours analysis is performed. The building energy demand is predicted using the EnergyPlus software and the results (building energy consumption) are used as COGMCI software input. Engine CHP is an important technology in the migration from fossil fuels to renewables. Every site with coincident electrical and thermal demands is a CHP candidate and has an annual energy savings opportunity (CHP potential). COGMCI can help you size and define the better configuration no matter what your main goal is (i) payback, (ii) grid independence, (iii) CO2 emissions reduction, or (iv) a combination of them. This study reveals that engine CHP can save close to 30% primary energy when using the harmonized reference conversion efficiency defined at the EU 2015/2402 directive and close to 20% when using the PES analysis directed obtained by an energy balance approach. These PES are calculated using a high-efficiency scenario (power production, boilers, and electrical chillers) that normally is not the reality of site existing equipment and countries average thermal efficiency.

These systems all have a description as $Y$-mutations in a cluster algebra and hence establish new connections between cluster theory and projective geometry. Our framework incorporates many preexisting generalized pentagram maps due to M. Gekhtman, M. Shapiro, S. Tabachnikov, and A. Vainshtein and also B. Khesin and F. Soloviev. In several of these cases a reduction to cluster dynamics was not previously known.

description: The QCD coupling alpha_s is determined from a combined analysis of experimental e+e- and e-p jet data confronted to theoretical predictions of the energy evolution of the parton-to-hadron fragmentation functions (FFs) moments --multiplicity, peak, width, skewness-- at low fractional hadron momentum z. The impact of approximate next-to-leading order (NLO*) corrections plus next-to-next-to-leading log (NNLL) resummations, compared to previous LO+NLL calculations, is discussed. A global fit of the full set of existing data, amounting to 360 FF moments at collision energies sqrt(s)~1--200 GeV, results in alpha_s(m_Z^2)=0.1189^{+0.0025}_{-0.0014} at the Z mass.

description: Measurements of the total and differential cross sections of Higgs boson production are performed using 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector. Cross sections are obtained from measured $H \rightarrow γγ$ and $H \rightarrow ZZ ^{*}\rightarrow 4\ell$ event yields, which are combined accounting for detector efficiencies, fiducial acceptances and branching fractions. Differential cross sections are reported as a function of Higgs boson transverse momentum, Higgs boson rapidity, number of jets in the event, and transverse momentum of the leading jet. The total production cross section is determined to be $σ_{pp \to H} = 33.0 \pm 5.3 \, ({\rm stat}) \pm 1.6 \, ({\rm sys}) \mathrm{pb}$. The measurements are compared to state-of-the-art predictions.

description: We study theoretically the dipole radiation of a hydrogen atom driven by an intense sub-cycle pulse. The time-dependent Schrödinger equation for the system is solved by ab initio calculation to obtain the dipole response. Remarkably, a narrowband emission lasting longer than the driving pulse appears at a frequency just above the ionization threshold. An additional calculation using the strong field approximation also recovers this emission, which suggests that it corresponds to the oscillation of nearly-bound electrons that behave similarly to Rydberg electrons. The predicted phenomenon is unique to ultrashort driving pulses but not specific to any particular atomic structure.

description: This paper demonstrates the concept of using Heterogeneous networks (HetNets) to improve Long Term Evolution (LTE) system by introducing the LTE Advance (LTE-A). The type of HetNets that has been chosen for this study is Macro with Pico cells. Comparing the system performance with and without Pico cells has clearly illustrated using three well-known scheduling algorithms (Proportional Fair PF, Maximum Largest Weighted Delay First MLWDF and Exponential/Proportional Fair EXP/PF). The system is judged based on throughput, Packet Loss Ratio PLR, delay and fairness.A simulation platform called LTE-Sim has been used to collect the data and produce the paper outcomes and graphs. The results prove that adding Pico cells enhances the overall system performance. From the simulation outcomes, the overall system performance is as follows: throughput is duplicated or tripled based on the number of users, the PLR is almost quartered, the delay is nearly reduced ten times (PF case) and changed to be a half (MLWDF/EXP cases), and the fairness stays closer to value of 1. It is considered an efficient and cost effective way to increase the throughput, coverage and reduce the latency.

description: Lovasz theta function and the related theta body of graphs have been in the center of the intersection of four research areas: combinatorial optimization, graph theory, information theory, and semidefinite optimization. In this paper, utilizing a modern convex optimization viewpoint, we provide a set of minimal conditions (axioms) under which certain key, desired properties are generalized, including the main equivalent characterizations of the theta function, the theta body of graphs, and the corresponding antiblocking duality relations. Our framework describes several semidefinite and polyhedral relaxations of the stable set polytope of a graph as generalized theta bodies. As a by-product of our approach, we introduce the notion of "Schur Lifting" of cones which is dual to PSD Lifting (more commonly used in SDP relaxations of combinatorial optimization problems) in our axiomatic generalization. We also generalize the notion of complements of graphs to diagonally scaling-invariant polyhedral cones. Finally, we provide a weighted generalization of the copositive formulation of the fractional chromatic number by Dukanovic and Rendl.

description: We present the results from the first ensemble prediction model for major solar flares (M and X classes). The primary aim of this investigation is to explore the construction of an ensemble for an initial prototyping of this new concept. Using the probabilistic forecasts from three models hosted at the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (NASA-GSFC) and the NOAA forecasts, we developed an ensemble forecast by linearly combining the flaring probabilities from all four methods. Performance-based combination weights were calculated using a Monte-Carlo-type algorithm that applies a decision threshold $P_{th}$ to the combined probabilities and maximizing the Heidke Skill Score (HSS). Using the data for 13 recent solar active regions between years 2012 - 2014, we found that linear combination methods can improve the overall probabilistic prediction and improve the categorical prediction for certain values of decision thresholds. Combination weights vary with the applied threshold and none of the tested individual forecasting models seem to provide more accurate predictions than the others for all values of $P_{th}$. According to the maximum values of HSS, a performance-based weights calculated by averaging over the sample, performed similarly to a equally weighted model. The values $P_{th}$ for which the ensemble forecast performs the best are 25 \% for M-class flares and 15 \% for X-class flares. When the human-adjusted probabilities from NOAA are excluded from the ensemble, the ensemble performance in terms of the Heidke score, is reduced.

description: The focus report “Project Facts Template” contains a series of templates designed for summarizing quanti-tative information on competition buildings. Design, planning and implementation of the contributions to a building competition such as the Solar Decathlon are a continuous process during the whole competition. A number of characteristic facts and indicators of the buildings are created, which identify in detail their prop-erties and expectations. It is target of the template to systematically record and update the project facts and indicators for the buildings and technical systems. The template is linked to a systematic structure of all relevant data sheets of the products applied.

Creators: name: Stark, Moritz
Publisher: name: Bergische Universität Wuppertal
Year: 2021

description: The focus report “Monitoring Data Visualization” gives a detailed overview of the obtained monitoring data from Solar Decathlon Europe 2010, 2012, 2014 and Solar Decathlon Middle East 2018 by presenting a large number of illustrations. Each competition is structured in a separate chapter and begins with a brief summary of available data in form of a table. Figures related to comfort measurements, operation tem-peratures of household devices and electrical consumption as well as generation are included in each dataset. In general it can be seen, that resolution and amount of measurement data increases within the history of the Solar Decathlon.

Radial continuous rotation invariant valuations on star bodies

description: We characterize the positive radial continuous and rotation invariant valuations $V$ defined on the star bodies of $\mathbb R^n$ as the applications on star bodies which admit an integral representation with respect to the Lebesgue measure. That is, $$V(K)=\int_{S^{n-1}}θ(ρ_K)dm,$$ where $θ$ is a positive continuous function, $ρ_K$ is the radial function associated to $K$ and $m$ is the Lebesgue measure on $S^{n-1}$. As a corollary, we obtain that every such valuation can be uniformly approximated on bounded sets by a linear combination of dual quermassintegrals.

description: Recently, extremely high dose rates were detected in the three-layer concrete plugs of the units 2 and 3 at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The high dose rates suggest that there are some trapping effects of radioactive materials on shield plugs when gas species and aerosols (e.g. CsOH and CsI) are released from the reactor through the plug layers. To determine the trapping mechanism, concrete, rock-forming aggregates, and relevant minerals are pulverized and mixed with CsOH monohydrate, followed by heating at different temperatures to clarify the chemical interaction. The results showed that interactions of CsOH and CaCO3 in concrete occurred even at room temperature to form Cs2CO3(H2O)3. The interaction with aggregates occurred above 100°C and resulted in the formation of CsAlSiO4. Additionally, amorphous and crystalline SiO2 also interacted with CsOH and formed CsHSi2O5 at around 250°C. These results suggest that formation of Cs2CO3(H2O)3 might be one of the main trapping mechanisms at shield plugs because CaCO3 is commonly formed on the concrete surface and reacts with CsOH at room temperature.
The ground-state phase diagram of the XXZ spin-s kagome antiferromagnet: A coupled-cluster study
Creators: name: Götze, O.

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We use the coupled cluster method to high orders of approximation in order to calculate the ground-state phase diagram of the XXZ spin-$s$ kagome antiferromagnet with easy-plane anisotropy, i.e. the anisotropy parameter $Δ$ varies between $Δ=1$ (isotropic Heisenberg model) and $Δ=0$ ($XY$ model). We find that for the extreme quantum case $s=1/2$ the ground state is magnetically disordered in the entire region $0 \le Δ\le 1$. For $s=1$ the ground state is disordered for $0.818 < Δ\le 1$, it exhibits $\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}$ magnetic long-range order for $0.281 < Δ<0.818$, and $q=0$ magnetic long-range order for $0 \le Δ< 0.281$. We confirm the recent result of Chernyshev and Zhitomirsky (Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 237202 (2014)) that the selection of the ground state by quantum fluctuations is different for small $Δ$ ($XY$ limit) and for $Δ$ close to one (Heisenberg limit), i.e., $q=0$ magnetic order is favored over $\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}$ for $0\le Δ

Random constructions in Bell inequalities: A survey
Creators: name: Palazuelos, Carlos
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Initially motivated by their relevance in foundations of quantum mechanics and more recently by their applications in different contexts of quantum information science, violations of Bell inequalities have been extensively studied during the last years. In particular, an important effort has been made in order to quantify such Bell violations. Probabilistic techniques have been heavily used in this context with two different purposes. First, to quantify how common the phenomenon of Bell violations is; and secondly, to find large Bell violations in order to better understand the possibilities and limitations of this phenomenon. However, the strong mathematical content of these results has discouraged some of the potentially interested readers. The aim of the present work is to review some of the recent results in this direction by focusing on the main ideas and removing most of the technical details, to make the previous study more accessible to a wide audience.

Testing the Kerr Nature of Black Hole Candidates using Iron Line Spectra in the CPR Framework

description: The iron K$α$ line commonly observed in the X-ray spectrum of both stellar-mass and supermassive black hole candidates originates from X-ray fluorescence of the inner accretion disk. Accordingly, it can be used to map the spacetime geometry around these objects. In this paper, we extend previous work using the iron K$α$ line to test the Kerr black hole hypothesis. We adopt the Cardoso-Pani-Rico parametrization and we test the possibility of constraining possible deviations from the Kerr solution that can be obtained from observations across the range of black hole spins and inclination angles. We confirm previous claims that the iron K$α$ line is potentially a quite powerful probe for testing the Kerr metric given sufficiently high quality data and with systematics under control, especially in the case of fast-rotating black holes and high inclination angles since both conditions serve to maximize relativistic effects. We find that some geometric perturbations from Kerr geometry manifest more strongly in the iron line profile than others. While the perturbation parameter $ε^t_3$ can be well constrained by the iron line profile, an orthogonal data set is necessary to constrain departures from Kerr geometry in $ε^r_3$.

Seasonal variations of EPG Levels in gastro-intestinal parasitic infection in a southeast asian controlled locale: a statistical analysis

description: We present a data based statistical study on the effects of seasonal variations in the growth rates of the gastro-intestinal (GI) parasitic infection in livestock. The alluded growth rate is estimated through the variation in the number of eggs per gram (EPG) of faeces in animals. In accordance with earlier studies, our analysis too shows that rainfall is the dominant variable in determining EPG infection rates compared to other macro-parameters like temperature and humidity. Our statistical analysis clearly indicates an oscillatory dependence of EPG levels on rainfall fluctuations. Monsoon recorded the highest infection with a comparative increase of at least 2.5 times compared to the next most infected period (summer). A least square fit of the EPG versus rainfall data indicates an approach towards a super diffusive (i. e. root mean square displacement growing faster than the square root of the elapsed time as obtained for simple diffusion) infection growth pattern regime for low rainfall regimes (technically defined as zeroth level dependence) that gets remarkably augmented for large rainfall zones. Our analysis further indicates that for low fluctuations in temperature (true on the bulk data), EPG level saturates beyond a critical value of the rainfall, a threshold that is expected to indicate the onset of the nonlinear regime. The probability density functions (PDFs) of the EPG data show oscillatory behavior in the large rainfall regime (greater than 500 mm), the frequency of oscillation, once again, being determined by the ambient wetness (rainfall, and humidity). Data recorded over three pilot projects spanning three measures of rainfall and humidity bear testimony to the universality of this statistical argument.

Year: 2016

description: ONERA is celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2016. This event is an opportunity to ask ourselves about
the place and evolution of research in the field of aerospace, especially in terms of needs and means.
A key topic of these reflections is obviously the contribution of testing activities. Originally involved
in all of the developments, they progressively had to face more complex requirements, as well as the emergence
of competing approaches, mainly based on computation capacities and engineering methods. In this context,
the 12th issue of AerospaceLab Journal proposes an overview of the evolution of testing in various
scientific domains concerned by aerospace developments: facilities, methods, instrumentation, processing,
performance, exploitation of data, new fields of research involved, etc. The purpose is to assess the future
use of testing, either as the best or as the only way to meet a specific requirement, such as equipment
certification for instance, or as a complementary approach to other methods, including their validation
or hardware in the loop analysis.

Unimodular lattice triangulations as small-world and scale-free random graphs

description: Real-world networks, e.g. the social relations or world-wide-web graphs, exhibit both small-world and scale-free behaviour. We interpret lattice triangulations as planar graphs by identifying triangulation vertices with graph nodes and one-dimensional simplices with edges. Since these triangulations are ergodic with respect to a certain Pachner flip, applying different Monte-Carlo simulations enables us to calculate average properties of random triangulations, as well as canonical ensemble averages using an energy functional that is approximately the variance of the degree distribution. All considered triangulations have clustering coefficients comparable with real world graphs, for the canonical ensemble there are inverse temperatures with small shortest path length independent of system size. Tuning the inverse temperature to a quasi-critical value leads to an indication of scale-free behaviour for degrees $k \geq 5$. Using triangulations as a random graph model can improve the understanding of real-world networks, especially if the actual distance of the embedded nodes becomes important.
