description: We report field data for the past 15 months starting with the June 1, 2016 installation of the rooftop solar system + battery storage and the steps we took to achieve >96% reduction in the daily grid-buy electricity from Hawaiian Electric going from 47kWh/day for April 2016 to 1.8kWh/day for July 2017.This required using multiple renewable energy storage techniques including electrical battery storage, hot thermal storage and cold thermal storage along with the optimized integration of TOU (time of use) for the key top energy consuming household appliances. We can now routinely achieve zero grid-buy satisfying 100% residential energy needs with renewable energy 6 days a week eliminating the Duck Curve problem by having the home energy management system in the standalone mode for off-grid operation.

description: Knowledge is increasingly recognised as the most important resource in sustaining competitive advantage for enterprises and nations, in the new economy. Knowledge can broadly be categorised as explicit or tacit. Explicit knowledge can be articulated, stored independently and easily communicated. Tacit knowledge on the other hand is embedded deep in the minds of people, is not easily shared and attempts to share can be slow, costly and uncertain. While it is acknowledged that there are inherent benefits, prior studies have shown that people, in general, are reluctant to share tacit knowledge. However research had also suggested that knowledge sharing behaviour manifests under certain enabling conditions. This study examined the influence of leadership behaviour, knowledge networks, and resources, on knowledge workers tacit knowledge sharing intention and behaviour.

description: We theoretically investigate two-particle and many-particle Anderson localizations of a spin-orbit coupled ultracold atomic Fermi gas trapped in a quasi-periodic potential and subjected to an out-of-plane Zeeman field. We solve exactly the two-particle problem in a finite length system by exact diagonalization and solve approximately the many-particle problem within the mean-field Bogoliubov-de Gennes approach. At a small Zeeman field, the localization properties of the system are similar to that of a Fermi gas with conventional $s$-wave interactions. As the disorder strength increases, the two-particle binding energy increases and the fermionic superfluidity of many particles disappears above a threshold. At a large Zeeman field, where the interatomic interaction behaves effectively like a $p$-wave interaction, the binding energy decreases with increasing disorder strength and the resulting topological superfluidity shows a much more robust stability against disorder than the conventional $s$-wave superfluidity. We also analyze the localization properties of the emergent Majorana fermions in the topological phase. Our results could be experimentally examined in future cold-atom experiments, where the spin-orbit coupling can be induced artificially by using two Raman lasers, and the quasi-periodic potential can be created by using bichromatic optical lattices.

description: We show that the dynamical freezing of vortex structures nucleated at diluted densities in Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8}$ samples with a dense distribution of columnar defects, $B \sim 10^{-2} B_Φ$ with $B_Φ=5$\,kG, results in configurations with liquid-like correlations. We propose a freezing model considering a relaxation dynamics dominated by double-kink excitations driven by the local stresses obtained directly from experimental images. With this model we estimate the relaxation barrier and the freezing temperature. We argue that the low-field frozen vortex structures nucleated in a dense distribution of columnar defects thus correspond to an out-of-equilibrium non-entangled liquid with strongly reduced mobility rather than to a snapshot of a metastable state with divergent activation barriers as for instance expected for the Bose-glass phase at equilibrium.

description: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and photoacoustic tomography (PAT) are emerging non-invasive biological and medical imaging techniques. It is a recent trend in experimental science to design experiments that perform PAT and OCT imaging at once. In this paper we present a mathematical model describing the dual experiment. Since OCT is mathematically modelled by Maxwell's equations or some simplifications of it, whereas the light propagation in quantitative photoacoustics is modelled by (simplifications of) the radiative transfer equation, the first step in the derivation of a mathematical model of the dual experiment is to obtain a unified mathematical description, which in our case are Maxwell's equations. As a by-product we therefore derive a new mathematical model of photoacoustic tomography based on Maxwell's equations. It is well known by now, that without additional assumptions on the medium, it is not possible to uniquely reconstruct all optical parameters from either one of these modalities alone. We show that in the combined approach one has additional information, compared to a single modality, and the inverse problem of reconstruction of the optical parameters becomes feasible.

description: The null energy condition has sweeping consequences in general relativity. I argue here that it has been misunderstood as a property exclusively of matter, when in fact it arises only in a theory of both matter and gravity. I then derive an equivalent geometric formulation of the null energy condition from worldsheet string theory, where it arises beautifully as simply Einstein's equations in two dimensions. But further, I show that this condition also has a thermodynamic origin, following from a local version of the second law of thermodynamics, applied to gravitational entropy. Thus, far from being an incidental property of matter, the validity of the null energy condition hints at the deep dual origins of gravity.

description: We present results for the QED contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon containing closed electron loops. The main focus is on perturbative corrections at four-loop order where the external photon couples to the external muon. Furthermore, all four-loop contributions involving simultaneously a closed electron and tau loop are computed. In combination with our recent results on the light-by-light-type corrections (see Ref. \cite{Kurz:2015bia}) the complete four-loop electron-loop contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon has been obtained with an independent calculation. Our calculation is based on an asymptotic expansion in the ratio of the electron and the muon mass and shows the importance of higher order terms in this ratio. We perform a detailed comparison with results available in the literature and find good numerical agreement. As a by-product we present analytic results for the on-shell muon mass and wave function renormalization constants at three-loop order including massive closed electron and tau loops, which we also calculated using the method of asymptotic expansion.

description: This work aims to determine the contribution of smart photovoltaic (PV) windows with integrated
luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) to the energy performance of near-zero energy buildings (NZEB). The work
focused a case study in Santiago of Chile, taking as a starting point local parameters such as the overall energy
requirements, geometrical features and consumption patterns of office buildings in this location. Dynamic simulations
were done to assess buildings features for energy efficiency, considering different estimated performances of the smart
windows system. For rectangular-shaped buildings with windows mainly facing the sun, and considering daily
occupation and the use of energy-efficient appliances together with high performance insulated walls, simulation results
highlight a contribution of the smart window up to nearly one-half of the buildings energy demand. In usual office
buildings this contribution is somewhat less expressive, but proper construction features can be regulated to meet the
energy-efficiency goals stated by many countries, in line with the Paris Agreement for climate action.

description: The recent but consistent reduction in the costs of PV systems and its technological improvement has prompted the installation of PV systems in non-optimal locations, such as building façades. This kind of application, although featuring higher levelized costs of electricity, has two main advantages: the large available area and the added value of widening the period of peak production throughout the day, thus allowing for a better match between demand and supply from PV. The solar electricity yield of vertical PV systems will depend on not only the absolute level of solar irradiation but on local climate conditions. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effect of the fraction of diffuse irradiation on the contribution of façades to the solar PV potential of buildings in different locations in the world. It is shown that, for a given latitude, PV systems combining four façade orientations may generate up to 10% more electricity than a rooftop system in locations with diffuse fractions above 0.40.

description: In this paper, we compare two methods for estimating the technical potential of grid-connected PV systems in Indonesia. One was a method developed by Veldhuis and Renders [1] and the other is a new method using Geographic Information System (GIS) and multi-criteria decision making (MCDM). The first method uses open access data from 2015 on a provincial level which can be applied to a complete country. Results from this method show that the total resource potential of grid-connected PV systems for all provinces in Indonesia in 2015 is 7,799 TWh which can be produced by 5,374 GWp total capacity of PV systems requiring 1.2% of the total land area of Indonesia. Because a detailed and accurate study on the technical potential of grid-connected PV systems in Indonesia is lacking, we propose another method which combines the capability of GIS and MCDM to develop a model which maps the potential of grid-connected PV systems in Indonesia. This model uses a digital elevation model (DEM) and thematic maps as inputs to produce a vector layer of calculable suitable areas for grid-connected PV systems. To validate this model, data has been collected during a field research which took place in Indonesia in Spring 2017. Also, a preliminary and more complex model for decision-making of grid-connected PV systems in Indonesia is introduced.

description: The first-principles band theory paradigm has been a key player not only in the process of discovering new classes of topologically interesting materials, but also for identifying salient characteristics of topological states, enabling direct and sharpened confrontation between theory and experiment. We begin this review by discussing underpinnings of the topological band theory, which basically involves a layer of analysis and interpretation for assessing topological properties of band structures beyond the standard band theory construct. Methods for evaluating topological invariants are delineated, including crystals without inversion symmetry and interacting systems. The extent to which theoretically predicted properties and protections of topological states have been verified experimentally is discussed, including work on topological crystalline insulators, disorder/interaction driven topological insulators (TIs), topological superconductors, Weyl semimetal phases, and topological phase transitions. Successful strategies for new materials discovery process are outlined. A comprehensive survey of currently predicted 2D and 3D topological materials is provided. This includes binary, ternary and quaternary compounds, transition metal and f-electron materials, Weyl and 3D Dirac semimetals, complex oxides, organometallics, skutterudites and antiperovskites. Also included is the emerging area of 2D atomically thin films beyond graphene of various elements and their alloys, functional thin films, multilayer systems, and ultra-thin films of 3D TIs, all of which hold exciting promise of wide-ranging applications. We conclude by giving a perspective on research directions where further work will broadly benefit the topological materials field.

description: Individuals with advanced cancer can benefit from physical activity (PA), but face barriers to PA participation. Physiotherapists can be well-positioned to support this patient population. Our objective was to describe the perspectives, practices, knowledge, and skills of oncology physiotherapists related to PA in people with advanced cancer. In this mixed-methods study, we recruited Canadian physiotherapists with current or recent clinical experience with advanced cancer. Phase I consisted of an online survey about views toward PA in advanced cancer and activity-related recommendations and concerns for two case scenarios. Phase II involved individual, semi-structured interviews about perspectives related to working with advanced cancer. Sixty-two physiotherapists participated in the survey, of which 13 participated in interviews. Most respondents (> 85%) agreed or strongly agreed PA is important and safe for individuals with advanced cancer. Case responses highlighted cancer-related considerations (e.g. bone metastases) tailored activity recommendations, and patient-centered, interprofessional care. Interview themes included: 1) situating PA within individually meaningful goals; 2) tailored strategies to promote PA; 3) overarching roles in functional optimization and symptom management; and 4) generalized lack of awareness regarding physiotherapy. Our findings indicate Canadian oncology physiotherapists describe knowledge of the safety and importance of PA, as well as key considerations in advanced cancer. Moreover, they highlight the importance of a patient-centered approach to support this population, particularly in facilitating safe and meaningful PA, as well as optimizing function and alleviating symptom burden. Further efforts are needed to investigate the development and integration of physiotherapy within cancer care.

description: Infrastructure Integrated PhotoVoltaics (I2PV) is the next big step for large scale energy production. PV cells can be integrated in a wide range of infrastructure applications without requiring any additional space. In this way the infrastructure can have the additional functionality of producing electricity from sunlight. One of the promising I2PV applications are the PhotoVoltaic Noise Barriers (PVNBs). In this context the Solar Noise Barriers (SONOB) project was developed with the goal of studying the performance of PVNBs. In this case study, we study the effects of a common form of street pollution -graffiti- on PVNBs.

description: We embark on investigating the magneto-optical absorption in {\em spherical} quantum dots {\em completely} confined by a harmonic potential and exposed to an applied magnetic field in the symmetric gauge. This is done within the framework of Bohm-Pines' RPA that enables us to derive and discuss the full Dyson equation that takes proper account of the Coulomb interactions. Intensifying the confinement or magnetic field and reducing the dot-size yields a blue-shift in the absorption peaks. However, the size effects are seen to be predominant in this role. The magnetic field tends to maximize the localization of the particle, but leaves the peak position of the radial distribution intact. The intra-Landau level transitions are forbidden.

description: The emergence of various epidemics have always been a great concern to not only human populations but at the same, they pose a serious threat to the survival of other terrestrial animals as well. In the past, almost all living species have witnessed wide spectrum of diseases caused by Bactria, Viruses, Protozoa etc., and to name a few, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis, AIDS, COVID-19, Aster Yellows, Anthracnose, Psoriasis, African Swine Fever and Avian Influenza. Mathematical Biology has always been the saviour in many of the disease epidemics, when it comes to design and develop mechanisms for the control and eradication of the diseases. Many of the mathematical models that are proposed and expressed in the form of dynamical systems are very well applied in gaining adequate understanding of the long term dynamics of several diseases. For example the mathematical model proposed by Kermack and McKendrick in 1927 has emphasized the importance of threshold parameters such as R0, the basic reproduction number. It not only underlines the importance of herd immunity threshold but also states conditions for control and possible eradication. The current special issue is devoted to the publication of recent advances in dynamical models and their applications to real wold problems. These articles endeavour in developing appropriate models and presenting the related analyses, highlighting their importance in tackling the problems related to Human Health Concerns, in particular.

description: The growing penetration of wind and solar renewable energy sources in the energy mix constantly increases the stochastic nature of the power system requiring a precise interpretation of the resource variability. This implies a better understanding on the accuracy of the approach to convert the weather data into a renewable energy sources dataset. As regards the solar generation, few studies focus on the sensitivity of the multi-criteria methods, the selection of the location to install solar panels and the assessment of implications on the total PV generation. This study quantifies the impact of applying different criteria in the selection of the land uses and the difference in the total annual generation at different aggregation levels (country, bidding zone and regional). For this purpose, PV hourly time series are calculated based on different assumptions using the PVGIS model. The results show the sensitivity of the impact on the total generation on different market zones under different assumptions and the relevance of defining an adequate rule based strategy for the development of future scenarios for power systems with high solar penetration.

description: The recent emergence of a wide variety of two-dimensional (2D) materials has created new opportunities for device concepts and applications. In particular, the availability of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides, in addition to semi-metallic graphene and insulating boron nitride, has enabled the fabrication of all 2D van der Waals heterostructure devices. Furthermore, the concept of van der Waals heterostructures has the potential to be significantly broadened beyond layered solids. For example, molecular and polymeric organic solids, whose surface atoms possess saturated bonds, are also known to interact via van der Waals forces and thus offer an alternative for scalable integration with 2D materials. Here, we demonstrate the integration of an organic small molecule p-type semiconductor, pentacene, with a 2D n-type semiconductor, MoS2. The resulting p-n heterojunction is gate-tunable and shows asymmetric control over the anti-ambipolar transfer characteristic. In addition, the pentacene-MoS2 heterojunction exhibits a photovoltaic effect attributable to type II band alignment, which suggests that MoS2 can function as an acceptor in hybrid solar cells.

ЮЖНО-АФРИКАНСКАЯ РЕСПУБЛИКА
REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

description: ЮАР страна с громадным потенциалом интенсивного развития, благодаря стреми-тельному росту информационно-коммуникационных технологий и интернета. Цифрови-зация экономики охватывает все сферы экономических, социальных и политических от-ношений, о чем свидетельствует рост международных индексов страны. Первым шагомявилось создание регуляторной базы для развития и использования высоких технологий вэлектронной коммерции. Однако еще остаются нерешенные вопросы, касающиеся, в томчисле, налогообложения. На сегодняшний день в ЮАР создаются цифровые платформы наопределенных рынках. Можно предположить, что следующим этапом будет их взаимосвя-занное объединение на основе обмена данными и создание цифровых платформ новогопоколения, охватывающих огромное количество разных рынков. Россия с мощным потен-циалом в сфере высоких технологий имеет возможность осуществить технологическуюпривязку южноафриканского бизнеса к нашим технологиям.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We study on-shell diagrams for gravity theories with any number of supersymmetries and find a compact Grassmannian formula in terms of edge variables of the graphs. Unlike in gauge theory where the analogous form involves only $\dlog$-factors, in gravity there is a non-trivial numerator as well as higher degree poles in the edge variables. Based on the structure of the Grassmannian formula for $\N=8$ supergravity we conjecture that gravity loop amplitudes also possess similar properties. In particular, we find that there are only logarithmic singularities on cuts with finite loop momentum, poles at infinity are present and loop amplitudes show special behavior on certain collinear cuts. We demonstrate on 1-loop and 2-loop examples that the behavior on collinear cuts is a highly non-trivial property which requires cancellations between all terms contributing to the amplitude.

description: We have made a 20cm x 20cm tandem photovoltaic (PV) window and developed a numerical model to investigate the energy performance of a building that would be equipped with such PV windows. The inside of the double-glazed window incorporates a tilted dichroic filter which is transparent for visible solar light and reflecting for near infra-red light. As a result, the transmitted visible photons are partially absorbed by a transparent organic solar cell while the reflected NIR photons are sent to silicon solar cells located in the frame of the window. To investigate the potential benefit of the technology, the net energy balance (NEB) simulation includes the choice of the location, the use of the building (residential or office), the percent coverage of the façade by the PV windows, etc. Several case studies are presented to emphasize the key points which influence the net global benefit of the window.

ЗАЩИТА ПРАВ ПОТРЕБИТЕЛЕЙ
CONSUMER PROTECTION

description: Внешнеэкономическая деятельность практически всех стран мира уже давно вышлаза пределы традиционных торговых отношений. В связи с развитием электронной коммерции и появлением интернет-платформ отпала необходимость в проведении личныхвстреч. Для приобретения какого-либо товара даже рядовому потребителю не обязательно выходить из дома. При чем речь идет не только о покупках в своем городе или стране, но и о заказе и доставке товаров из других стран. В связи с растущей популярностью использования новых технологий возрастает необходимость защиты прав потребителей.
Exploring the role of mispricing, market access and life cycle in corporate financial decision-making

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Using an extensive sample of US firms over the period 1971-2008, this thesis examines important factors that are hypothesized to influence corporate decision making, namely: stock market mispricing; accessibility to external capital markets; and a firm’s life cycle stage. First, this thesis examines the impact of stock market mispricing on various corporate policies. The results confirm the findings of Polk and Sapienza (2009) that mispricing affects corporate investment through the catering channel - the relation between investment and mispricing is positive. This relation is stronger for firms typified by shorter horizon investors. Stock market mispricing also influences others corporate policies through the catering channel - firms tend to rely on cash holdings and debt financing to finance catering investment. The analyses suggest that debt financing is a primary source of financing, while cash reserves is of secondary importance. Second, this thesis explores a new aspect of financial flexibility – namely, the ability of a firm to adjust its internal and external sources of finance for corporate investment in response to stock market mispricing. Firms with greater access to external capital markets are more flexible in adjusting their sources of financing for corporate investment in response to mispricing. Specifically, firms with greater access tend to have lower (higher) investment-cash flow sensitivities in situations of overvaluation (undervaluation). In contrast, the investment-cash flow sensitivity of firms with limited access to external finance is negligibly affected by the level of mispricing. Third, this thesis investigates the impact of a firm's life cycle stage on various corporate policies. Consistent with the notion that mature firms face relatively limited growth opportunities and have higher accumulated profits, firms tend to reduce investment, become less reliant on external financing, hoard less cash, and pay higher dividends as they mature. All of the empirical results in this thesis are confirmed by a battery of robustness checks.
The interplay between chemistry and nucleation in the formation of carbonaceous dust in supernova ejecta

description: Core-collapse supernovae are considered to be important contributors to the primitive dust enrichment of the interstellar medium in the high-redshift universe. Theoretical models of dust formation in stellar explosions have so far provided controversial results and a generally poor fit to the observations of dust formation in local supernovae. We present a new methodology for the calculation of carbonaceous dust formation in young supernova remnants. Our new technique uses both the nucleation theory and a chemical reaction network to allow us to compute the dust growth beyond the molecular level as well as to consider chemical erosion of the forming grains. We find that carbonaceous dust forms efficiently in the core of the ejecta, but takes several years to condensate, longer than previously estimated. It forms unevenly and remains concentrated in the inner part of the remnant. These results support the role of core-collapse supernovae as dust factories and provide new insight on the observations of SN 1987A, in which large amounts of dust have been detected to form on a timescale of years after core collapse.

description: Building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technology is an active building envelope component that converts solar energy into electricity. When thermal energy is harvested, BIPV produces both thermal and electrical energy using the same building surface area. This article presents the performance of a new design of a BIPV module with thermal energy recovery that uses air as the heat recovery fluid (BIPVT/a). Two units of the newly developed prototype were tested indoors in a solar simulator under various operating conditions to obtain the steady-state thermal performance. At an irradiance level of 1005 W/m² and still air, a temperature rise of 54°C was measured at a flowrate of 55 kg/h. The BIPVT/a prototype was also mounted outdoors for a period of eight months to complete the electrical characterization and evaluate the thermal and electrical performance under transient conditions. With the measurements obtained, a model to predict the operating cells temperature from the ambient conditions and the fluid outlet temperature was developed. This model captures the interaction between the module thermal and electrical yield.

description: Important advances have been made in the fuzzy quantification field. Nevertheless, some problems remain when we face the decision of selecting the most convenient model for a specific application. In the literature, several desirable adequacy properties have been proposed, but theoretical limits impede quantification models from simultaneously fulfilling every adequacy property that has been defined. Besides, the complexity of model definitions and adequacy properties makes very difficult for real users to understand the particularities of the different models that have been presented. In this work we will present several criteria conceived to help in the process of selecting the most adequate Quantifier Fuzzification Mechanisms for specific practical applications. In addition, some of the best known well-behaved models will be compared against this list of criteria. Based on this analysis, some guidance to choose fuzzy quantification models for practical applications will be provided.
