description: The starting point for much of multivariate analysis (MVA) is an n × p data matrix whose n rows represent observations and whose p columns represent variables. Some multivariate datasets, however, may be best conceptualized not as n discrete p-variate observations, but as p curves or functions defined on a common time interval. Here we introduce a framework for extending techniques of multivariate analysis to such settings. The proposed continuous-time multivariate analysis (CTMVA) framework rests on the assumption that the curves can be represented as linear combinations of basis functions such as B-splines, as in the Ramsay-Silverman representation of functional data; but whereas functional data analysis extends MVA to the case of observations that are curves rather than vectors—heuristically, n × p data with p infinite—we are instead concerned with what happens when n is infinite. We present continuous-time extensions of the classical MVA methods of covariance and correlation estimation, principal component analysis, Fisher’s linear discriminant analysis, and k-means clustering. We show that CTMVA can improve on the performance of classical MVA, in particular for correlation estimation and clustering, and can be applied in some settings where classical MVA cannot, including variables observed at disparate time points. CTMVA is illustrated with a novel perspective on a well-known Canadian weather dataset, and with applications to datasets involving international development, brain signals, and air quality. The proposed methods are implemented in the publicly available R package ctmva. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: This paper is to introduce a new approach in building the national Energy Mix Vision, share an initial stage of the system dynamics modelling and discuss the modelling challenges. A literature review defines the preferred modelling for Indonesia, empirical data are then solicited to demonstrate the supply mix trends and used as baseline in developing the initial model to represent the past behaviour prior to be enhanced, upgraded and simulated to perform the desired behaviour towards the vision. The initial simulation runs succeed in imitating the historical trends and suggests that engineering of the model to the envisaged patterns and then examined through Focus Group Discussions may offer viable solution. The unprecedented use of System Dynamics and the results are unique.

description: We carry out computer simulations of a simple, two-dimensional off-lattice model that exhibits inverse melting. The monodisperse system comprises core-softened disks interacting through a repulsive square shoulder located inside an attractive square well. By systematically varying the potential parameters, we increase the pressure range over which the liquid freezes to a crystal upon isobaric heating. The effect is largely controlled by the extent of the shoulder. Despite occurring in two dimensions, the melting transition is first order and to a liquid, rather than to a hexatic or quasicrystal phase. We also provide comment on a commonly employed correlation function used to determine the degree of translational ordering in a system.

Im Rahmen dieser Massnahmen fehlt ein Angebot, welches gezielt und systematisch die im Laufe des Lebens informell erworbenen Kompetenzen der Klientinnen und Klienten erhebt. Die Bilanzierung von Kompetenzen kann insbesondere für Personen im mittleren Erwachsenenalter bedeutsam sein, da diese aus ihrer bisherigen beruflichen Tätigkeit langjährige Erfahrung und vertiefte Kenntnisse mitbringen. Es erscheint deshalb sinnvoll, bei der Umorientierung an Bestehendes anzuknüpfen. Die Abteilungsleitung und die Berufsberatung der Beruflichen Eingliederung haben deshalb die Entwicklung, Erprobung und Auswertung eines auf ihre Bedürfnisse angepassten Arbeitsmittels zur Bilanzierung von Kompetenzen in Auftrag gegeben.
Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt die Hintergründe zur Entwicklung des Arbeitsmittels RKB – Rehabellikon-Kompetenzen-Bilanz auf und stellt das Arbeitsmittel und dessen erste Praxiserprobung vor.

description: The spatial resolution along the pad-row direction was measured with a GEM-based TPC prototype for the future linear collider experiment in order to understand its performance for tracks with finite projected angles with respect to the pad-row normal. The degradation of the resolution due to the angular pad effect was confirmed to be consistent with the prediction of a simple calculation taking into account the cluster-size distribution and the avalanche fluctuation.

description: Emergency Medical Services patients who survive overdose are at high risk for subsequent overdose and death. Programs that seek to link overdose survivors to harm reduction and treatment services are increasingly common, though they vary in design and measured effect. Public Health – Seattle & King County (PHSKC) used a continuous quality improvement (CQI) process to assess and improve a phone-based model for post-overdose outreach in King County, Washington. King County Emergency Medical Services (KC-EMS) health records are queried weekly to identify suspected opioid overdose and other drug-related encounters. Patients treated by KC-EMS that met outreach eligibility criteria were contacted by phone and offered referrals to local services. Three Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles were sequentially implemented to iteratively assess program indicators and implement program adaptations. The PDSA cycles varied in terms of eligibility criteria, outreach modality, and level of resources devoted to phone number searches. Program indicators and corresponding costs were measured for each phase and calculated per month, per eligible patient, and per patient referred to services. During the initial call-based outreach pilot, the fewest number of patients met eligibility criteria (monthly average =39) and were referred to services (monthly average =2). In Phase Two, outreach shifted to automated texting and eligibility criteria expanded, resulting in an increase in the monthly average number of eligible patients (monthly average =137) and patients referred to services (monthly average =3). Phase Three adaptations expanded eligibility criteria further but limited outreach to patients with a phone number documented in their KC-EMS record, resulting in an average of 405 eligible patients per month and four patients that were referred to services. The costs per patient referred to services changed from $454 in Phase one to $589 in Phase Two to $279 in Phase Three. The PDSA process helped PHSKC’s post-overdose outreach team identify adaptations to improve the efficiency of the post-overdose outreach program. The number of people referred to services was modest, reflecting the challenges of post-incident phone-based outreach. Our experience highlights the value of incorporating CQI processes in ongoing program operations and the need for a multi-pronged overdose prevention strategy.
Community Energy Enterprises in the Distributed Energy Geography

Publisher: name: International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management
Year: 2018

description: The debate on distributed energy systems is evolving in a way that enlarge the domain of traditional energy policy, especially regarding urban and regional development priorities and community engagement aspects. The present article discusses on the possibility to adopt Community Energy Enterprises as a specific organisational model that may represent a crucial and not yet explored tool to enhance the diffusion of a distributed energy geography, promoting new approaches for community-based energy systems. The crucial issue here is that in the discussion of the current energy system we may refer not only to production units, but also to ownership, decision-making and local responsibility as regards new forms of provision, infrastructures and organizations. With these objectives the paper discusses in a multi-scalar perspective the role of these organizations may innovate the governance of the current energy market, as part of bottom-up based socio-material transition in the energy market: mobilising specific territorial factors, institutions and approaches in users and citizens’ engagement.

description: We demonstrate that strong impulsive gas heating or heating suppression at standard temperature and pressure can occur from coherent rotational excitation or de-excitation of molecular gases using a sequence of non-ionizing laser pulses. For the case of excitation, subsequent collisional decoherence of the ensemble leads to gas heating significantly exceeding that from plasma absorption under the same laser focusing conditions. In both cases, the macroscopic hydrodynamics of the gas can be finely controlled with ~40 fs temporal sensitivity.

description: The use of methoxyflurane is becoming increasingly popular in the treatment of pain in an emergency setting, in part due to its ease of administration. However, little is known about the risk of serious adverse events in children and adolescents. The aim of this study was to examine the safety of methoxyflurane in a pediatric population. The study was a retrospective cohort study of pediatric prehospital events using probabilistic linked health data. All ambulance transfers in Western Australia between 1990 and 2016 involving children and adolescent patients were identified. Patients were categorized based on administered analgesia: methoxyflurane, an opioid analgesic, both methoxyflurane and an opioid analgesic, or no analgesic. Hospital and mortality data were linked to transferred patients to identify deaths, adverse drug reactions, liver and kidney toxicity, and re-admissions to hospital following ambulance transfer. Generalized linear models, adjusting for sociodemographic and ambulance transfer characteristics, were used to compare outcomes between children exposed to methoxyflurane and the other three groups. The study cohort consisted of 37,211 children, including 9,472 patients (25.5%) treated with methoxyflurane alone, 2,764 (7.4%) treated with an opioid analgesic, 1,235 (3.3%) treated with both methoxyflurane and an opioid analgesic, and 23,740 (63.8%) treated with no analgesic. Death in children and adolescents was uncommon, with less than five deaths (<0.1%) observed in the 12 months following treatment with methoxyflurane and no deaths in those treated with both methoxyflurane and an opioid analgesic. Adverse drug reaction was rare (<0.1%) in patients treated with methoxyflurane, as was liver and kidney toxicity with no case observed. At 90-days follow-up, there was no significant difference in hospitalization in patients treated with methoxyflurane and those treated with methoxyflurane and an opioid analgesic (adjusted OR:1.01, 95%CI:0.85-1.21). Compared with methoxyflurane treated patients, patients treated with an opioid analgesic were more likely to be hospitalized (aOR:1.23, 95%CI:1.09-1.39), while patients treated with no analgesic were less likely to be hospitalized (aOR:0.85, 95%CI:0.79-0.92). In children and adolescents transported by ambulance, the use of methoxyflurane was not associated with an increased risk of hospitalization, death, serious adverse drug reactions or liver and kidney toxicity.

description: We investigate C IV broad absorption line (BAL) variability within a sample of 46 radio-loud quasars (RLQs), selected from SDSS/FIRST data to include both core-dominated (39) and lobe-dominated (7) objects. The sample consists primarily of high-ionization BAL quasars, and a substantial fraction have large BAL velocities or equivalent widths; their radio luminosities and radio-loudness values span ~2.5 orders of magnitude. We have obtained 34 new Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) spectra of 28 BAL RLQs to compare to earlier SDSS data, and we also incorporate archival coverage (primarily dual-epoch SDSS) for a total set of 78 pairs of equivalent width measurements for 46 BAL RLQs, probing rest-frame timescales of ~80-6000 d (median 500 d). In general, only modest changes in the depths of segments of absorption troughs are observed, akin to those seen in prior studies of BAL RQQs. Also similar to previous findings for RQQs, the RLQs studied here are more likely to display BAL variability on longer rest-frame timescales. However, typical values of |Delta_EW| and |Delta_EW|/ are about 40+/-20% lower for BAL RLQs when compared with those of a timescale-matched sample of BAL RQQs. Optical continuum variability is of similar amplitude in BAL RLQs and BAL RQQs; for both RLQs and RQQs, continuum variability tends to be stronger on longer timescales. BAL variability in RLQs does not obviously depend upon their radio luminosities or radio-loudness values, but we do find tentative evidence for greater fractional BAL variability within lobe-dominated RLQs. Enhanced BAL variability within more edge-on (lobe-dominated) RLQs supports some geometrical dependence to the outflow structure.

Total membrane proteins (5 µg for panel A, 5 and 10 µg for panel B) were separated in a 12% SDS–PAGE and analyzed by Western blot performed using either an antibody specific to caveolin-1 (A; 1/7500) or an HRP-conjugate specific to the His-tag affinity tag (B; 1/5000). A positive control protein containing caveolin-1β (C+) and the band of 75 kDa of the molecular weight from Bio-Rad (constitutively His-tagged) were used to estimate the expression levels of the recombinant proteins. H means membrane proteins derived from bacteria containing the recombinant pNZ-HTC vector, C- means crude membrane proteins derived from control bacteria containing the empty pNZ8148 vector, * means samples loaded without boiling step. o,d,m correspond respectively to oligomer, dimer and monomer. Western blot images are merged images of both colorimetric analysis of membranes revealing the molecular weights and chemiluminescent analysis revealing only some molecular weight bands. Figure S2. The red spots depict the intracellular caveolar vesicles, whose number is to be evaluated from their count observed by electron microscopy using a thin slice of the cell. The L. lactis cell (blue) is considered as a sphere of diameter 2r, and the slice cut for electron microscopy observation (black and grey) is considered as an equatorial cylinder of diameter 2r and thickness h (h = 90 nm). Cell volume is : V = (4/3) π r3 ; cylinder volume is : v = π r2 h. The volume ratio is : V/v = 4r/3h. Assuming 2r ≈ 10 h, V/v ≈ 7. In the case of the section is not in the equatorial plane of the cell, the ratio V/v is even slightly larger.

description: We develop a strategy for calculating critical exponents for the Mott insulator-to-superfluid transition shown by the Bose-Hubbard model. Our approach is based on the field-theoretic concept of the effective potential, which provides a natural extension of the Landau theory of phase transitions to quantum critical phenomena. The coefficients of the Landau expansion of that effective potential are obtained by high-order perturbation theory. We counteract the divergency of the weak-coupling perturbation series by including the seldom considered Landau coefficient $a_6$ into our analysis. Our preliminary results indicate that the critical exponents for both the condensate density and the superfluid density, as derived from the two-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model, deviate by less than $1\%$ from the best known estimates computed so far for the three-dimensional $XY$ universality class.

description: Results from this study show a moderate association between decentering and sBRS. Previous studies have associated decentering, a non-judgmental view of emotions, with lower arterial stiffness and better nocturnal blood pressure dipping in adults. It is unknown however if autonomic regulation of blood pressure is linked to decentering. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if decentering was related to cardiovagal or sympathetic baroreflex sensitivity (sBRS). Thirty-three adults (age 25±6 years; BMI 25±3 kg/m2 ) with resting blood pressure ≥120/80 mmHg volunteered for this study. All participants had a BMI <30 kg/m2 , and had no history of smoking, diabetes, or prescriptions for blood pressure or cardiac function. Participants completed an 11-item experiences questionnaire to evaluate decentering, and then were equipped for a supine autonomic evaluation. The autonomic evaluation included continuous recording of heart rate via 3-lead ECG, muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) via microneurography, and beat-to-beat blood pressure via finger photoplethysmography. Cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity (n=33) included estimation of vagal activation by evaluating up-up relationships between systolic arterial pressure (SAP) and R-R intervals of the ECG. Vagal withdrawal was also estimated via the down-down relationships between SAP and R-R intervals. Spontaneous sBRS (n=17) was evaluated by assessing the relationship between changes in diastolic arterial pressure (DAP) in 3 mmHg bins vs. changes in MSNA burst incidence (bursts / 100 heart beats) in those with DAP-MSNA correlations >0.70. Results from 2-tailed Pearson correlation analyses revealed that there was not a relationship between decentering and vagal activation (r=-0.07; p=0.71) or between decentering and vagal withdrawal (r=-0.28; p=0.12). There was a moderate, negative correlation between decentering and sBRS that lacked statistical significance (r= -0.35; p=0.17). Our findings suggest that there is not a clear link between decentering and autonomic regulation of blood pressure as estimated through cardiovagal 11 baroreflex sensitivity, but the moderate correlation between decentering and sBRS should be explored in a larger sample size.

description: The proliferation of social media such as real time microblogging and online reputation systems facilitate real time sensing of social patterns and behavior. In the last decade, sensing and decision making in social networks have witnessed significant progress in the electrical engineering, computer science, economics, finance, and sociology research communities. Research in this area involves the interaction of dynamic random graphs, socio-economic analysis, and statistical inference algorithms. This monograph provides a survey, tutorial development, and discussion of four highly stylized examples: social learning for interactive sensing; tracking the degree distribution of social networks; sensing and information diffusion; and coordination of decision making via game-theoretic learning. Each of the four examples is motivated by practical examples, and comprises of a literature survey together with careful problem formulation and mathematical analysis. Despite being highly stylized, these examples provide a rich variety of models, algorithms and analysis tools that are readily accessible to a signal processing, control/systems theory, and applied mathematics audience.

description: Necessary and sufficient criteria for metric subregularity (or calmness) of set-valued mappings between general metric or Banach spaces are treated in the framework of the theory of error bounds for a special family of extended real-valued functions of two variables. A classification scheme for the general error bound and metric subregularity criteria is presented. The criteria are formulated in terms of several kinds of primal and subdifferential slopes.

description: We report the discovery of a new faint dwarf galaxy, GHOSTS I, using HST/ACS data from one of our GHOSTS (Galaxy Halos, Outer disks, Substructure, Thick disk, and Star clusters) fields. Its detected individual stars populate an approximately one magnitude range of its luminosity function (LF). Using synthetic color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) to compare with the galaxy's CMD, we find that the colors and magnitudes of GHOSTS I's individual stars are most consistent with being young helium-burning and asymptotic giant branch stars at a distance of 12 +/- 2 Mpc. Morphologically, GHOSTS I appears to be actively forming stars, so we tentatively classify it as a dwarf irregular (dIrr) galaxy, although future HST observations deep enough to resolve a larger magnitude range in its LF are required to make a more secure classification. GHOSTS I's absolute magnitude is $M_V = -9.85^{+ 0.40}_{- 0.33}$, making it one of the least luminous dIrr galaxies known, and its metallicity is lower than [Fe/H] =-1.5 dex. The half-light radius of GHOSTS I is 226 +/- 38 pc and its ellipticity is 0.47 +/- 0.07, similar to Milky Way and M31 dwarf satellites at comparable luminosity. There are no luminous massive galaxies or galaxy clusters within ~ 4 Mpc from GHOSTS I that could be considered as its host, making it a very isolated dwarf galaxy in the Local Universe.

description: The phase dynamics of Josephson junctions under external electromagnetic radiation is studied through numerical simulations. Current-voltage characteristics, Lyapunov exponents and Poincare sections are analyzed in detail. It is found that the subharmonic Shapiro steps at certain parameters are separated by structured chaotic windows. By performing a linear regression on the linear part of the data, a fractal dimension of D = 0.868 is obtained, with an uncertainty of +-0.012. The chaotic regions exhibit scaling similarity and it is shown that the devil's staircase of the system can form a backbone that unifies and explains the highly correlated and structured chaotic behavior. These features suggest a system possessing multiple complete devil's staircases. The onset of chaos for subharmonic steps occurs through the Feigenbaum period doubling scenario. Universality in the sequence of periodic windows is also demonstrated. Finally the influence of the radiation and Josephson junction parameters on the structured chaos is investigated and it is concluded that the structured chaos is a stable formation over a wide range of parameter values.
