description: A solar cadastre provides a perfect data source for a small scale analysis of the solar potential. Based
on the data from the solar cadastre grid simulations for parts of the distribution grid were performed. The results of
the grid simulations show that the voltage increase becomes critical in most cases. However, taking into account
reactive power feed in from the inverters and switchable transformers the voltage increase can be kept within the
guidelines. The approach used in this project provides grid operators with a tool that allows them to test their current
grid or planned new grid elements for compatibility with the many photovoltaic plants to be installed in the future.

description: An anonymous credential mechanism is a set of protocols that allows users to obtain credentials from an organization and demonstrate ownership of these credentials without compromising users’ privacy. In this work, we construct the first secret-free and quantum-safe credential mechanism. The scheme is secret-free in the sense that an organization does not need to guard a secret key. The scheme is also lightweight in construction. Security of the scheme relies on the ability of the organization to maintain the integrity of a publicly known data structure—namely, a Merkle tree—that utilizes a quantum-safe, partially homomorphic hash function as a foundational primitive. We also construct a simple, quantum-safe, zero-knowledge argument of knowledge of membership in the Merkle tree. Additionally, we explore a concrete instantiation of the scheme and show it to be practically efficient for the core functions of enrollment and verification.
description: Un mécanisme d’identifiants anonymes est un ensemble de protocoles qui permet aux utilisateurs d’obtenir des identifiants d’une organisation et de prouver que ceux-ci leur appartiennent sans compromettre leurs renseignements personnels. Nous construisons le premier mécanisme d’identifiants résistant aux attaques quantiques n’utilisant pas de clé secrète. La sécurité de ce mécanisme efficient repose sur la capacité de l’organisation à maintenir l’intégrité d’une structure de données connue publiquement. Le mécanisme est basé sur un arbre de Merkle et utilise comme primitive fondamentale une fonction de hachage résistante aux attaques quantiques qui est partiellement homomorphe. Nous construisons également un argument de connaissance à divulgation nulle de connaissance simple et à l’épreuve des attaques quantiques pour vérifier la présence des identifiants dans l’arbre de Merkle. De plus, nous explorons une instanciation concrète du mécanisme et montrons son efficacité pour les fonctions de base de l’inscription et de la vérification.

description: Increasing numbers of large-scale photovoltaic (PV) plants are being constructed. Large-scale PV systems
for feeding electricity generated by PV modules into the grid, comprise many devices such as inverters, transformers,
cables, GIS, and air conditioners for inverter packages. Since it is necessary to know how much electricity PV systems
can feed into the grid under various weather conditions, accurate performance modeling for them has emerged as an
important research theme. With regard to operation of a PV system, an accurate PV performance model enables
performance estimations of short duration, profit of long duration, and diagnosis of faults in the facilities. In performance
modeling of large-scale PV plants, it is necessary to reflect losses caused by many devices. In this work, we present
results of the performance modeling of large-scale PV plants, taking account of the many interconnected devices they
comprise.

description: In this work we focus on randomly rough textures for light-trapping in thin-film silicon solar cells. We
use a simple but accurate model of Gaussian roughness, and with rigorous calculations we demonstrate that optimized
rough textures allow to approach the Lambertian Limit of absorption. These results are explained by a detailed
analysis of the roughness optical properties, which can be easily correlated with the absorption enhancement in the
solar cell absorber. Finally, we compare structures based on crystalline and microcrystalline silicon, to investigate the
role of light-trapping as a function of size and nature (direct or indirect) of the energy band gap.

description: Comparison of the ISM properties of a wide range of metal-poor galaxies with normal metal-rich galaxies reveals striking differences. We find that the combination of the low dust abundance and the active star formation results in a very porous ISM filled with hard photons, heating the dust in dwarf galaxies to overall higher temperatures than their metal-rich counterparts. This results in photodissociation of molecular clouds to greater depths, leaving relatively large PDR envelopes and difficult-to-detect CO cores. From detailed modeling of the low-metallicity ISM, we find significant fractions of CO-dark H2 - a reservoir of molecular gas not traced by CO, but present in the [CII] and [CI]-emitting envelopes. Self-consistent analyses of the neutral and ionized gas diagnostics along with the dust SED is the necessary way forward in uncovering the multiphase structure of galaxies

description: We present a spectroscopic analysis of the pre-eruptive configuration of active region NOAA 11429, prior to two very fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs) on March 7, 2012 that are associated with this active region. We study the thermal components and the dynamics associated with the ejected flux ropes. Using differential emission measure (DEM) analysis of Hinode/EIS and SDO/AIA observations, we identify the emission components of both the flux rope and the host active region. We then follow the time evolution of the flux rope emission components by using AIA observations. The plasma density and the Doppler and non-thermal velocities associated with the flux ropes are also calculated from the EIS data. The eastern and western parts of the active region, in which the two different fast CMEs originated during two X-class flares, were studied separately. In both regions we identified an emission component in the temperature range of $\log T=6.8 - 7.1$ associated with the presence of flux ropes. The time evolution of the eastern region showed an increase in the mean DEM in this temperature range by an order of magnitude, 5 hours prior to the first CME. This was associated with a gradual rise and heating of the flux rope as manifested by blue-shifts and increased non-thermal velocities in \ion{Ca}{XV}~200.97Å, respectively. An overall upward motion of the flux ropes was measured (relative blue-shifts of $\sim12$~\kms). The measured electron density was found to be $4\times 10^9 - 2 \times10^{10}$ cm$^{-3}$ (using the ratio of \ion{Ca}{XV}~181.90Å over \ion{Ca}{XV}~200.97Å). We compare our findings with other works on the same AR to provide a unified picture of its evolution.

description: A multiple instance learning (MIL) method, extended Function of Multiple Instances ($e$FUMI), is applied to ballistocardiogram (BCG) signals produced by a hydraulic bed sensor. The goal of this approach is to learn a personalized heartbeat "concept" for an individual. This heartbeat concept is a prototype (or "signature") that characterizes the heartbeat pattern for an individual in ballistocardiogram data. The $e$FUMI method models the problem of learning a heartbeat concept from a BCG signal as a MIL problem. This approach elegantly addresses the uncertainty inherent in a BCG signal e. g., misalignment between training data and ground truth, mis-collection of heartbeat by some transducers, etc. Given a BCG training signal coupled with a ground truth signal (e.g., a pulse finger sensor), training "bags" labeled with only binary labels denoting if a training bag contains a heartbeat signal or not can be generated. Then, using these bags, $e$FUMI learns a personalized concept of heartbeat for a subject as well as several non-heartbeat background concepts. After learning the heartbeat concept, heartbeat detection and heart rate estimation can be applied to test data. Experimental results show that the estimated heartbeat concept found by $e$FUMI is more representative and a more discriminative prototype of the heartbeat signals than those found by comparison MIL methods in the literature.

description: The dynamics of stellar streams in rotating barred potentials is explained for the first time. Naturally, neighbouring stream stars reach pericentre at slightly different times. In the presence of a rotating bar, these neighbouring stream stars experience different bar orientations during pericentric passage and hence each star receives a different torque from the bar. These differing torques reshape the angular momentum and energy distribution of stars in the stream, which in turn changes the growth rate of the stream. For a progenitor orbiting in the same sense as the bar's rotation and satisfying a resonance condition, the resultant stream can be substantially shorter or longer than expected, depending on whether the pericentric passages of the progenitor occur along the bar's minor or major axis respectively. We present a full discussion of this phenomenon focusing mainly on streams confined to the Galactic plane. In stark contrast with the evolution in static potentials, which give rise to streams that grow steadily in time, rotating barred potentials can produce dynamically old, short streams. This challenges the traditional viewpoint that the inner halo consists of well phase-mixed material whilst the tidally-disrupted structures in the outer halo are more spatially coherent. We argue that this mechanism plays an important role in explaining the mysteriously short Ophiuchus stream that was recently discovered near the bulge region of the Milky Way.

description: We investigate the emergence of the continuum elastic limit from the atomistic description of matter at zero temperature considering how locally defined elastic quantities depend on the coarse graining length scale. Results obtained numerically investigating different model systems are rationalized in a unifying picture according to which the continuum elastic limit emerges through a process determined by two system properties, the degree of disorder, and a length scale associated to the transverse low-frequency vibrational modes. The degree of disorder controls the emergence of long-range local shear stress and shear strain correlations, while the transverse length scale influences the amplitude of the fluctuations of the local elastic constants.
ALFA: an automated line fitting algorithm

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: I present the Automated Line Fitting Algorithm, ALFA, a new code which can fit emission line spectra of arbitrary wavelength coverage and resolution, fully automatically. In contrast to traditional emission line fitting methods which require the identification of spectral features suspected to be emission lines, ALFA instead uses a list of lines which are expected to be present to construct a synthetic spectrum. The parameters used to construct the synthetic spectrum are optimised by means of a genetic algorithm. Uncertainties are estimated using the noise structure of the residuals. An emission line spectrum containing several hundred lines can be fitted in a few seconds using a single processor of a typical contemporary desktop or laptop PC. I show that the results are in excellent agreement with those measured manually for a number of spectra. Where discrepancies exist, the manually measured fluxes are found to be less accurate than those returned by ALFA. Together with the code NEAT (Wesson et al. 2012), ALFA provides a powerful way to rapidly extract physical information from observations, an increasingly vital function in the era of highly multiplexed spectroscopy. The two codes can deliver a reliable and comprehensive analysis of very large datasets in a few hours with little or no user interaction.

description: The European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) has reported that the global cumulative solar
PV installations reached 100 GW by 2013. In order to determine the “bankability” of solar PV projects, the
estimation of the energy yield [kWh] with high accuracy and precision is important. The National Institute of
Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) has developed the database of the outdoor performance of eight
kinds of PV arrays at AIST Kyushu Center. In this study, we evaluate the monthly energy outputs of the PV arrays,
which are normalized to those of 5 [kW]. Seasonal variations and yearly changes of the energy outputs from the PV
arrays are investigated in addition to normalized yearly energy production. The main results are that the normalized
yearly energy yield of E-1a (sc-Si) is about 3% higher than that of E-2a (pc-Si) in this measurement system. In order
to investigate in more detail, the energy production is divided into two conditions (under high and low irradiance
conditions). The energy yield difference seems to be originated from the energy production under low irradiance
conditions. The results suggest that the energy production from PV systems can vary by more than a few % due to
irradiance dependence.
Anti-symmetry consideration on the preservation of Entanglement of spin system

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: In this work we offer an approach to protect the entanglement based on the anti-symmetric property of the hamiltonian. Our main objective is to protect the entanglement of a given initial three-qubit state which is governed by hamiltonian of a three-spin Ising chain in site-dependent transverse fields. We show that according to anti-symmetric property of the hamiltonian with respect to some operators mimicking the time reversal operator, the dynamics of the system can be effectively reversed. It equips us to control the dynamics of the system. The control procedure is implemented as a sequence of cyclic evolution; accordingly the entanglement of the system is protected for any given initial state with any desired accuracy an long-time. Using this approach we could control not only the multiparty entanglement but also the pairwise entanglement. It is also notable that in this paper although we restrict ourselves mostly within a three-spin Ising chain in site-dependent transverse fields, our approach could be applicable to any n-qubit spin system models.

description: Transition-metal-based Heusler semiconductors are promising materials for a variety of applications ranging from spintronics to thermoelectricity. Employing the $GW$ approximation within the framework of the FLAPW method, we study the quasi-particle band structure of a number of such compounds being almost gapless semiconductors. We find that in contrast to the \textit{sp}-electron based semiconductors such as Si and GaAs, in these systems the many-body corrections have a minimal effect on the electronic band structure and the energy band gap increases by less than 0.2~eV, which makes the starting point density functional theory (DFT) a good approximation for the description of electronic and optical properties of these materials. Furthermore, the band gap can be tuned either by the variation of the lattice parameter or by the substitution of the \emph{sp}-chemical element.

description: Muon spin rotation measurements have been performed on a powder sample of a-RuCl3, a layered material which previously has been proposed to be a quantum magnet on a honeycomb lattice close to a quantum spin liquid ground state. Our data reveal two distinct phase transitions at 11 K and 14 K which we interpret as originating from the onset of three-dimensional order and in-plane magnetic order, respectively. We identify, with the help of density functional theory calculations, likely muon stopping sites and combine these with dipolar field calculations to show that the two measured muon rotation frequencies are consistent with two inequivalent muon sites within a zig-zag antiferromagnetic structure proposed previously.

description: If PV modules are connected to a PV array, it may happen that these modules are not operated at their
maximum power point due to varying I-V characteristics. This loss of power is commonly referred to as electrical
mismatch loss or circuit mismatch. In previous work at TÜV Rheinland performance optimization of PV arrays by
pre-sorting the PV modules was studied based on module I-V characteristics measured at STC (either in the
laboratory or provided by PV module manufacturers). These investigations have shown that the circuit mismatch for
5% PMAX manufacturing tolerance was approx. −0.6% in the least efficient case. By sorting the modules according to
their maximum power current, an improvement of 0.5% could be demonstrated. This work continues these
investigations and analyses the circuit mismatch for low irradiance conditions as well as irradiance variations and
module temperature gradients in the field.

description: We present the results of a detailed numerical simulation of the circumstellar environment around three exoplanet-hosting stars. A state-of-the-art global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model is considered, including Alfvén wave dissipation as a self-consistent coronal heating mechanism. This paper contains the description of the numerical set-up, evaluation procedure, and the simulated coronal structure of each system (HD 1237, HD 22049 and HD 147513). The simulations are driven by surface magnetic field maps, recovered with the observational technique of Zeeman Doppler Imaging (ZDI). A detailed comparison of the simulations is performed, where two different implementations of this mapping routine are used to generate the surface field distributions. Quantitative and qualitative descriptions of the coronae of these systems are presented, including synthetic high-energy emission maps in the Extreme Ultra-Violet (EUV) and Soft X-rays (SXR) ranges. Using the simulation results, we are able to recover similar trends as in previous observational studies, including the relation between the magnetic flux and the coronal X-ray emission. Furthermore, for HD 1237 we estimate the rotational modulation of the high-energy emission due to the various coronal features developed in the simulation. We obtain variations, during a single stellar rotation cycle, up to 15\% for the EUV and SXR ranges. The results presented here will be used, in a follow-up paper, to self-consistently simulate the stellar winds and inner astrospheres of these systems.

description: The SPF certificate “solar glass” was developed in 2002 to guarantee the quality of glazing for the use
as transparent cover for solar thermal collectors. More than 200 glass types of the leading manufacturers have been
measured and certified in the following years. Although it was explicitly developed for solar thermal applications, it
became widely used in the pv-module industry, as well.
Therefore, this certificate was adapted recently to the special properties of crystalline solar cells, which are directly
laminated onto the glass resulting in a specialized certificate for pv-applications. For the certification different factors
are defined in order to classify the tested glass in several performance groups. These are: a) transmittance factor, b)
incident angle modification factor and c) photo-degradation factor. The product of these performance factors results
in one characteristic number: the glass efficiency factor (GL_PV), giving the influence of the tested glass to the annual
electricity production for a typical PV-plant in central Europe (c-Si cells, 30° inclined, south oriented). This factor
was determined for several flat and structured glass types with and without antireflective coating.

description: The aim of the NA61/SHINE strong interaction program is to explore the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter. The main physics goals are the study of the onset of deconfinement and the search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter. These goals are pursued by performing a beam momentum (13$A$ - 158$A$ GeV/c) and system size (p+p, p+Pb, Be+Be, Ar+Sc, Xe+La) scan. This contribution presents results on transverse momentum and multiplicity fluctuations from the Be+Be and p+p energy scan. Also, results on two-particle correlations in pseudorapidity and azimuthal angle obtained in p+p interactions will be shown. The influence of conservation laws and resonance decays on multiplicity and chemical fluctuations of identified particles in p+p interactions will be discussed. Obtained results will be compared with data from other experiments and with model predictions.

description: Three PV generators with modules from different technologies (“amorphous silicon”, “CIGS”, and
“crystalline silicon” types, respectively) have been operated and carefully monitored on the PV generator test stand at the
ZSW test field Widderstall in South Germany for more than four years. The measurement data have been evaluated with
the focus on the assessment of the PV array DC performance. Differences of characteristics of the PV module products,
seasonal variations and year-to-year stability are being analysed and discussed. The PV generator with “amorphous
silicon” type modules gives a good example of repeating seasonal decrease during winter and recovery from spring to
summer attributed to the Staebler-Wronski effect. The performance characteristics in dependence of irradiance level can
be used to assess the performance trends of PV installations as well as to improve the accuracy of PV yield predictions.

description: Superconductivity is an emergent phenomena in the sense that the energy scale associated with Cooper pairing is generically much lower than the typical kinetic energy of electrons. Addressing the mechanism of Cooper pairing amounts to determine the effective interaction that operates at low energies. Deriving such an interaction from a bottom-up approach has not been possible for any superconductor, especially strongly correlated ones. Top-down approaches, where one assumes an effective interaction, is plagued with the difficulty of extracting the implied electronic instabilities without uncontrolled approximations. These facts severely hinder our ability to determine the pairing mechanism for high temperature superconductors. Here we perform large-scale sign-problem-free quantum Monte-Carlo simulations on an effective theory, featured with antiferromagnetic and nematic fluctuations, to study the intertwined antiferromagnetic, superconducting, and charge density wave instabilities of the cuprates. Our results suggest the inclusion of nematic fluctuations is essential in order to produce the observed type of charge density wave ordering. Interestingly we find that the d-wave Cooper pairing is enhanced by nematic fluctuations.

description: The detection of optical re-brightenings and X-ray plateaus in the afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) challenges the generic external shock model. Recently, we have developed a numerical method to calculate the dynamic of the system consisting of a forward shock and a reverse shock. Here, we briefly review the applications of this method in the afterglow theory. By relating these diverse features to the central engines of GRBs, we find that the steep optical re-brightenings would be caused by the fall-back accretion of black holes, while the shallow optical re-brightenings are the consequence of the injection of the electron-positron-pair wind from the central magnetar. These studies provide useful ways to probe the characteristics of GRB central engines.

description: A review of the methodologies currently used in the performance ratio testing as part of provisional
acceptance certification for large-scale solar photovoltaic plant has been completed. A focus on temperature
compensation and monthly correction factor methodologies has been assessed for two different climates. Further
analysis on data filtering specifications which can significantly affect the performance ratio has also been conducted
with recommendations made. Ultimately the paper aims to assist in discussions for defining an industry accepted
standard for provisional acceptance in order to reduce time and costs in the contractual development of a project.
Homotopy Transfer and Effective Field Theory II: Strings and Double Field Theory

description: We continue our study of effective field theory via homotopy transfer of -algebras, and apply it to tree-level non-Wilsonian effective actions of the kind discussed by Sen in which the modes integrated out are comparable in mass to the modes that are kept. We focus on the construction of effective actions for string states at fixed levels and in particular on the construction of weakly constrained double field theory. With these examples in mind, we discuss closed string theory on toroidal backgrounds and resolve some subtle issues involving vertex operators, including the proper form of cocycle factors and of the reflector state. This resolves outstanding issues concerning the construction of covariant closed string field theory on toroidal backgrounds. The weakly constrained double field theory is formally obtained from closed string field theory on a toroidal background by integrating out all but the ‘doubly massless’ states and homotopy transfer then gives a prescription for determining the theory's vertices and symmetries. We also discuss consistent truncation in the context of homotopy transfer.
The small scatter of the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation

description: In a LCDM cosmology, the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation (BTFR) is expected to show significant intrinsic scatter resulting from the mass-concentration relation of dark matter halos and the baryonic-to-halo mass ratio. We study the BTFR using a sample of 118 disc galaxies (spirals and irregulars) with data of the highest quality: extended HI rotation curves (tracing the outer velocity) and Spitzer photometry at 3.6 $μ$m (tracing the stellar mass). Assuming that the stellar mass-to-light ratio (M*/L) is nearly constant at 3.6 $μ$m, we find that the scatter, slope, and normalization of the BTFR systematically vary with the adopted M*/L. The observed scatter is minimized for M*/L > 0.5, corresponding to nearly maximal discs in high-surface-brightness galaxies and BTFR slopes close to ~4. For any reasonable value of M*/L, the intrinsic scatter is ~0.1 dex, below general LCDM expectations. The residuals show no correlations with galaxy structural parameters (radius or surface brightness), contrary to the predictions from some semi-analytic models of galaxy formation. These are fundamental issues for LCDM cosmology.

description: Al-doped zinc oxide is a popular transparent conducting oxide material commonly used in thin film
solar cells as front contact or buffer layer. In this work, we attempt to investigate and assess the impact and
significance of deposition temperature on the material properties of AZO by RF sputtering technique. The structural,
optical and electrical behaviors of the films were studied by varying the substrate temperature from room temperature
to 500oC. Results show that the morphology, crystallinity and electrical indices all improve with increasing
temperature. The optical characteristics of the films include high transmittance (>90%) and bandgap energy in the
range of 3.5 – 3.8 eV. All in all, these films are found suitable to be used as buffer layer in CdTe and CIGS thin film
solar cells, while at higher film thicknesses, they can equally be used as front contact TCO layer in these cells.

description: The equation of motion coupled cluster singles and doubles model (EOM-CCSD) is an accurate, black-box correlated electronic structure approach to investigate electronically excited states and electron attachment or detachment processes. It has also served as a basis for developing less computationally expensive approximate models such as partitioned EOM-CCSD (P-EOM-CCSD), the second-order many-body perturbation theory EOM (EOM-MBPT(2)) and their combination (P-EOM-MBPT(2)) [S. Gwaltney et al., Chem. Phys. Lett. 248, 189–198 (1996)]. In this work we outline an implementation of these approximations for four-component based Hamiltonians and investigate their accuracy relative to EOM-CCSD for valence excitations, valence and core ionisations and electron attachment, and this for a number of systems of atmospheric or astrophysical interest containing elements across the periodic table. We have found that across the different systems and electronic states of different nature considered, partition EOM-CCSD yields results with the largest deviations from the reference, whereas second-order based approaches tend show a generally better agreement with EOM-CCSD. We trace this behaviour to the imbalance brought about by the removal of excited state relaxation in the partition approaches, with respect to degree of electron correlation recovered.

description: We consider families of non-colliding random walks above a hard wall, which are subject to a self-potential of tilted area type. We view such ensembles as effective models for the level lines of a class of $2+1$-dimensional discrete-height random surfaces in statistical mechanics. We prove that, under rather general assumptions on the step distribution and on the self-potential, such walks converge, under appropriate rescaling, to non-intersecting Ferrari--Spohn diffusions associated with limiting Sturm--Liouville operators. In particular, the limiting invariant measures are given by the squares of the corresponding Slater determinants.

description: Silicon based chalcopyrite (with the compounds composition I(B)-III(A)-VI(A)2) hetero-junction solar
cells have been reported with the potential of high conversion efficiency theoretically. The hetero-junction solar cell
with PNN+ structure is fabricated as: front metal electrodes/ transparent conductive oxide (TCO)/ p-type chalcopyrite
layer emitter/ n-shape silicon base/ n+ silicon back surface doping/ rear metal electrodes. By the means of numerical
analysis with AMPS-1D simulation, the impacts of the chalcopyrite emitter band gap engineering were studied. For a
single band gap emitter, the best is Eg=1.45eV, resulting in simulated cell efficiency 20.206%. For gradient
distribution, “n-shape” (linearly increasing followed by linear decreasing) emitter band gap distribution is better than
the other three fabricated distribution. Enhancing the maximum Eg in “n-shape” emitter band gap distribution helps to
increase the simulated cell efficiency further to 22.25%, about 2.04% absolute efficiency gain, compared to single
1.45eV chalcopyrite emitter.
