description: Form factors in planar N=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory admit a type of non-perturbative operator product expansion (OPE), as we have recently shown in arXiv:2009.11297. This expansion is based on a decomposition of the dual periodic Wilson loop into elementary building blocks: the known pentagon transitions and a new object that we call form factor transition, which encodes the information about the local operator. In this paper, we compute the two-particle form factor transitions for the chiral part of the stress-tensor supermultiplet at Born level; they yield the leading contribution to the OPE. To achieve this, we explicitly construct the Gubser-Klebanov-Polyakov two-particle singlet states. The resulting transitions are then used to test the OPE against known perturbative data and to make higher-loop predictions.

description: The energy performance of PV modules and PV systems is not sufficiently described by their
characterization under standard test conditions (STC) only and thus the energy output under realistic outdoor
conditions has to be studied. For that purpose an outdoor test site was set-up at an open rural area close to Q-Cells
SE. It consists of three main parts, one for monitoring module performance (Module Test), one for monitoring system
performance (System Test) and one for monitoring various environmental parameters.
The aim of this paper is to describe the experimental setup in detail, including an overview of the measuring
equipment and the results of a detailed error analysis and to present a first energy yield analysis of three different
crystalline modules and two crystalline PV systems. Furthermore, filter criteria were established to guarantee a
reliable data base. The first comparison of the specific yield for similar modules and systems showed a good
conformity within their uncertainties indicating a good homogeneity of the measuring equipment.

description: We study statistical aspects of the case of the British nurse Ben Geen, convicted of 2 counts of murder and 15 of grievous bodily harm following events at Horton General Hospital (in the town of Banbury, Oxfordshire, UK) during December 2013-February 2014. We draw attention to parallels with the cases of nurses Lucia de Berk (the Netherlands) and Daniela Poggiali (Italy), in both of which an initial conviction for multiple murders of patients was overturned after reopening of the case. We pay most attention to the investigative processes by which data, and not just statistical data, is generated; namely, the identification of past cases in which the nurse under suspicion might have been involved. We argue that the investigation and prosecution of such cases is vulnerable to many cognitive biases and errors of reasoning about uncertainty, complicated by the fact that fact-finders have to determine not only whether a particular person was guilty of certain crimes, but whether any crimes were committed by anybody at all. The paper includes some new statistical findings on the Ben Geen case and suggests further avenues for investigation. The experiences recounted here have contributed to the writing of the hand-book Green et al. (2022), Healthcare Serial Killer or Coincidence? Statistical Issues in Investigation of Suspected Medical Misconduct, commissioned by the Royal Statistical Society, Statistics and the Law section. Submitted to MDPI Laws.

description: A central issue addressed by the rapidly growing research area of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is to provide methods to give explanations for the behaviours of Machine Learning (ML) non-interpretable models after the training. Recently, it is becoming more and more evident that new directions to create better explanations should take into account what a good explanation is to a human user. This paper suggests taking advantage of developing an XAI framework that allows producing multiple explanations for the response of image a classification system in terms of potentially different middle-level input features. To this end, we propose an XAI framework able to construct explanations in terms of input features extracted by auto-encoders. We start from the hypothesis that some autoencoders, relying on standard data representation approaches, could extract more salient and understandable input properties, which we call here \textit{Middle-Level input Features} (MLFs), for a user with respect to raw low-level features. Furthermore, extracting different types of MLFs through different type of autoencoders, different types of explanations for the same ML system behaviour can be returned. We experimentally tested our method on two different image datasets and using three different types of MLFs. The results are encouraging. Although our novel approach was tested in the context of image classification, it can potentially be used on other data types to the extent that auto-encoders to extract humanly understandable representations can be applied.

description: This paper describes an experimental system developed in the photovoltaic laboratory at the
University of Málaga (Spain) to measure the current voltage curve of photovoltaic modules under outdoor
conditions. The measurement is performed in an automated way by employing commercial instruments
controlled by a computer using the GPIB standard. Several modules, selected sequentially through a set of
relays, are biased by a four-quadrant power supply while a function generator synchronizes two multimeters in
order to acquire voltage and current values. The measurement uncertainties were also estimated. The proposed
method for synchronizing the voltage and current measurements ensures that these measurements are performed
simultaneously; this means that the estimated uncertainty is lower than those obtained using other previously
proposed methods. The main electrical parameters are estimated. A user-friendly application allows the user to
configure several parameters, such as bias rate, voltage and current limits and the number of points of the curve.
Children’s cognitive development and technology: exploring the use of serious educational games and a potential neuropsychological measure

description: Systematic Literature Review The systematic literature review explored what makes serious educational games engaging for children. A systematic search of four databases identified fourteen papers relevant to the review. Narrative synthesis was used to provide an initial synthesis of the literature. The articles identified several factors thought to increase children’s and adolescents’ engagement with serious educational games. The level of challenge, immediate feedback and player control were identified as important game factors for engagement. Explicit instruction, audio-visual qualities, the flexibility of interaction with the game, meaningful game content, and embedding learning in-game content were all related to children’s engagement with serious educational games. Player factors related to children’s engagement included previous game experience, the intensity of use, game attitudes, self-efficacy and perceived competence. Collaboration and social factors were also highlighted as being important for engagement. Empirical Report This exploratory feasibility study aimed to assess the validity and usability of the Short Parallel Assessment of Neuropsychological Status- extended (SPANS-X; Burgess, 2022) with children aged 11 and 12 years. A cross-sectional design was employed to compare scores of 11-12-year-olds and 18-22-year-olds on the SPANS-X. Convergent validity and acceptability of the SPANS-X were also considered. Mean scores of two age groups differed on the SPANS-X total score, attention/concentration index, visuomotor performance index, and efficiency index. Scores between the groups were comparable on the orientation index, language index, memory/learning index, and conceptual flexibility index. Score distributions were comparable between the two age groups. There were mixed results concerning convergent validity. Researcher observations and participant feedback suggest the SPANS-X is acceptable to children this age. The findings are considered from a cognitive development perspective.

Reconstruction of singular and degenerate inclusions in Calderón's problem

description: We consider the reconstruction of the support of an unknown perturbation to a known conductivity coefficient in Calderón's problem. In a previous result by the authors on monotonicity-based reconstruction, the perturbed coefficient is allowed to simultaneously take the values $0$ and $\infty$ in some parts of the domain and values bounded away from $0$ and $\infty$ elsewhere. We generalise this result by allowing the unknown coefficient to be the restriction of an $A_2$-Muckenhoupt weight in parts of the domain, thereby including singular and degenerate behaviour in the governing equation. In particular, the coefficient may tend to $0$ and $\infty$ in a controlled manner, which goes beyond the standard setting of Calderón's problem. Our main result constructively characterises the outer shape of the support of such a general perturbation, based on a local Neumann-to-Dirichlet map defined on an open subset of the domain boundary.

description: The Neutron-star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) is an X-ray astrophysics payload that will be placed on the International Space Station. Its primary science goal is to measure with high accuracy the pulse profiles that arise from the non-uniform thermal surface emission of rotation-powered pulsars. Modeling general relativistic effects on the profiles will lead to measuring the radii of these neutron stars and to constraining their equation of state. Achieving this goal will depend, among other things, on accurate knowledge of the source, sky, and instrument backgrounds. We use here simple analytic estimates to quantify the level at which these backgrounds need to be known in order for the upcoming measurements to provide significant constraints on the properties of neutron stars. We show that, even in the minimal-information scenario, knowledge of the background at a few percent level for a background-to-source countrate ratio of 0.2 allows for a measurement of the neutron star compactness to better than 10% uncertainty for most of the parameter space. These constraints improve further when more realistic assumptions are made about the neutron star emission and spin, and when additional information about the source itself, such as its mass or distance, are incorporated.

description: A steady reduction of wafer thickness causes larger wafer deformation and easier wafer fracture during solar cell fabrication. One major issue influencing the strength of silicon wafers is the wire sawing process. The investigations in this work were therefore focused on strength measurements on mono- and multicrystalline silicon wafers regarding the orientation of the saw damage by performing strength measurements as well as microstructural characteristics of the wafers surface after sawing. Four-point bending and ball-on-ring test were carried out to evaluate the strength characteristics of the wafers. It could be shown that monocrystalline wafers exhibit higher strength than multicrystalline wafers. Furthermore a saw damage oriented strength dependency was observed. All strength results were correlated with microstructural investigations.

description: The Josephson effect is a fundamental quantum phenomenon consisting in the appearance of a dissipationless supercurrent in a weak link between two superconducting (S) electrodes. While the mechanism leading to the Josephson effect is quite general, i.e., Andreev reflections at the interface between the S electrodes and the weak link, the precise physical details and topology of the junction drastically modify the properties of the supercurrent. Specifically, a strong enhancement of the critical supercurrent $I_C$ is expected to occur when the topology of the junction allows the emergence of Majorana bound states. Here we report charge transport measurements in mesoscopic Josephson junctions formed by InAs nanowires and Ti/Al superconducting leads. Our main observation is a colossal enhancement of the critical supercurrent induced by an external magnetic field applied perpendicular to the substrate. This striking and anomalous supercurrent enhancement cannot be ascribed to any known conventional phenomenon existing in Josephson junctions including, for instance, Fraunhofer-like diffraction or a $π$-state behavior. We also investigate an unconventional model related to inhomogenous Zeeman field caused by magnetic focusing, and note that it can not account for the observed behaviour. Finally, we consider these results in the context of topological superconductivity, and show that the observed $I_C$ enhancement is compatible with a magnetic field-induced topological transition of the junction.

description: Developing quantitative methods for characterizing structural properties of force chains in densely packed granular media is an important step toward understanding or predicting large-scale physical properties of a packing. A promising framework in which to develop such methods is network science, which can be used to translate particle locations and force contacts to a graph in which particles are represented by nodes and forces between particles are represented by weighted edges. Applying network-based community-detection techniques to extract force chains opens the door to developing statistics of force chain structure, with the goal of identifying shape differences across packings, and providing a foundation on which to build predictions of bulk material properties from mesoscale network features. Here, we discuss a trio of related but fundamentally distinct measurements of mesoscale structure of force chains in arbitrary 2D packings, including a novel statistic derived using tools from algebraic topology, which together provide a tool set for the analysis of force chain architecture. We demonstrate the utility of this tool set by detecting variations in force chain architecture with pressure. Collectively, these techniques can be generalized to 3D packings, and to the assessment of continuous deformations of packings under stress or strain.

This review identified 1065 articles and 11 articles met the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the review (n=11). Results: Six main themes were identified; ‘teletherapy transitions’, ‘increased flexibility and accessibility to therapy’, ‘the home as a therapeutic space’, ‘therapeutic challenges and service disruption’ and ‘technological barriers’. Conclusion: The findings highlight the benefits and challenges of teletherapy and highlight needs for effective teletherapy. Limitations and future applications are discussed. Empirical Research Project Background: The sudden disruption to healthcare systems impacted staff’s wellbeing and led to an increase in moral distress and burnout. Mental health services were faced with novel challenges posed by the pandemic, yet inpatient mental health settings remain an under researched area. The primary aim of the present study is to explore staff’s experiences of working within an inpatient mental health unit during the COVID-19 pandemic. The secondary aim is to explore staff’s experiences of the COVID-19 vaccine. Methods: A mixture of audio diaries and semi-structured interviews were used to collect participant’s (n= 12; 8 female, 4 male) experiences. Thematic analysis was used to analyse participant’s experiences and identify salient themes. Results: Six main themes were identified from mental health staff’s experiences of working during COVID-19, including ‘the personal cost’, ‘adaptation’, ‘engagement with covid restrictions’, ‘organisational and team culture’, ‘vaccine motivation’ and ‘vaccine hesitancy’ Conclusion: Mental health professionals working within inpatient units experience threats to wellbeing, moral distress and a tricky relationship with the COVID-19 vaccine. Limitations and implications for future practice are discussed.

description: Quantum algorithms can be realized in the form of a quantum circuit. To map quantum circuit for specific quantum algorithm to quantum hardware, qubit mapping is an imperative technique based on the qubit topology. Due to the neighbourhood constraint of qubit topology, the implementation of quantum algorithm rightly, is essential for moving information around in a quantum computer. Swapping of qubits using SWAP gate moves the quantum state between two qubits and solves the neighbourhood constraint of qubit topology. Though, one needs to decompose the SWAP gate into three CNOT gates to implement SWAP gate efficiently, but unwillingly quantum cost with respect to gate count and depth increases. In this paper, a new formalism of moving quantum states without using SWAP operation is introduced for the first time to the best of our knowledge. Moving quantum states through qubits have been attained with the adoption of temporary intermediate qudit states. This introduction of intermediate qudit states has exhibited a three times reduction in quantum cost with respect to gate count and approximately two times reduction in respect to circuit depth compared to the state-of-the-art approach of SWAP gate insertion. Further, the proposed approach is generalized to any dimensional quantum system.

the Aquarius/SAC-D satellite mission. These activities are done within the frame of a cooperation agreement between
the Argentine National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA) and the Argentine National Commission for Space
Activities (CONAE). SAC-D satellite, a joint mission between CONAE and the United States Space Agency
(NASA), is scheduled for launching by the end of 2010. Two flight panels based on ATJ Emcore solar cells, of 2338
mm × 2154 mm, were integrated for the SAC-D mission based on design and integration tools previously developed.
Furthermore, integration techniques were validated by several tests performed on engineering and qualification
models. The design, simulation, fabrication and characterization of these panels, as well as radiation damage and
thermal cycling tests on components, are presented. Finally, results of tests performed on the flight model are also
reported.

description: Spatial networks have recently attracted great interest in various fields of research. While the traditional network-theoretic viewpoint is commonly restricted to their topological characteristics (often disregarding existing spatial constraints), this work takes a geometric perspective, which considers vertices and edges as objects in a metric space and quantifies the corresponding spatial distribution and alignment. For this purpose, we introduce the concept of edge anisotropy and define a class of measures characterizing the spatial directedness of connections. Specifically, we demonstrate that the local anisotropy of edges incident to a given vertex provides useful information about the local geometry of geophysical flows based on networks constructed from spatio-temporal data, which is complementary to topological characteristics of the same flow networks. Taken both structural and geometric viewpoints together can thus assist the identification of underlying flow structures from observations of scalar variables.

description: The blood–brain barrier (BBB) limits the delivery of majority of cancer drugs and thereby complicates brain tumor treatment. The nasal-brain-lymphatic system is discussed as a pathway for brain drug delivery overcoming the BBB. However, in most cases, this method is not sufficient to achieve a therapeutic effect due to brain drug delivery in a short distance. Therefore, it is necessary to develop technologies to overcome the obstacles facing nose-to-brain delivery of promising pharmaceuticals. In this study, we clearly demonstrate intranasal delivery of liposomes to the mouse brain reaching glioblastoma (GBM). In the experiments with ablation of the meningeal lymphatic network, we report an important role of meningeal pathway for intranasal delivery of liposomes to the brain. Our data revealed that GBM is characterized by a dramatic reduction of intranasal delivery of liposomes to the brain that was significantly improved by near-infrared (1267 nm) photostimulation of the lymphatic vessels in the area of the cribriform plate and the meninges. These results open new perspectives for non-invasive improvement of efficiency of intranasal delivery of cancer drugs to the brain tissues using nanocarriers and near-infrared laser-based therapeutic devices, which are commercially available and widely used in clinical practice.

description: Purpose: This article reviews 43 adaptations of the MacArthur–Bates Communicative Development Inventories (MB-CDIs), a tool used for measuring children’s communicative and language skills. The aim is to provide an overview of different approaches to develop local versions of the instrument (reflecting linguistic and cultural specifics) and to formulate recommendations and suggestions that expand the current guidelines of the MB-CDI Advisory Board. The article also discusses cross-linguistic differences in the structure of this tool, as well as the availability of sources for the language-specific MB-CDI adaptations. Conclusions: Strategies differ in the construction of the inventory contents and in the norming phase, as well as in documenting reliability and validity. The most frequent strategies in developing the item lists are translations of existing CDIs and pilot administrations; relatively recent strategies include consultations with child development experts. The norming approach varies in, for example, the number of participants and techniques of administrations. When establishing age-related norms, different methods of growth curve construction are used. We recommend methods that consider the complete data set and provide a code example. We suggest that the reliability of the tool should be documented not only as internal consistency but also using test–retest measures, ideally combined with interrater agreement. It is desirable that adaptations establish criterion validity against other measures of language development, such as structured tests, spontaneous language samples, or experimental methods. In summary, by critically reviewing the different adaptation strategies, the present review article provides guidance for teams that adapt the MB-CDI into new languages. Supplemental Material S1.

description: Recent discoveries of charge order and electronic nematic order in the iron-based superconductors and cuprates have pointed towards the possibility of nematic and charge fluctuations playing a role in the enhancement of superconductivity. The Ba1-xSrxNi2As2 system, closely related in structure to the BaFe2As2 system, has recently been shown to exhibit both types of ordering without the presence of any magnetic order. We report single crystal X-ray diffraction, resistance transport measurements, and magnetization of \BaSrLate, providing evidence that the previously reported incommensurate charge order with wavevector $(0,0.28,0)_{tet}$ in the tetragonal state of \BaNi~vanishes by this concentration of Sr substitution together with nematic order. Our measurements suggest that the nematic and incommensurate charge orders are closely tied in the tetragonal state, and show that the $(0,0.33,0)_{tri}$ charge ordering in the triclinic phase of BaNi2As2 evolves to become $(0,0.5,0)_{tri}$ charge ordering at $x$=0.65 before vanishing at $x$=0.71.

description: We explore the dynamics of magnetically controlled outflows from Hot Jupiters, where these flows are driven by UV heating from the central star. In these systems, some of the open field lines do not allow the flow to pass smoothly through the sonic point, so that steady-state solutions do not exist in general. This paper focuses on this type of magnetic field configuration, where the resulting flow becomes manifestly time-dependent. We consider the case of both steady heating and time-variable heating, and find the time scales for the corresponding time variations of the outflow. Because the flow cannot pass through the sonic transition, it remains subsonic and leads to so-called breeze solutions. One manifestation of the time variability is that the flow samples a collection of different breeze solutions over time, and the mass outflow rate varies in quasi-periodic fashion. Because the flow is subsonic, information can propagate inward from the outer boundary, which determines, in part, the time scale of the flow variability. This work finds the relationship between the outer boundary scale and the time scale of flow variations. In practice, the location of the outer boundary is set by the extent of the sphere of influence of the planet. The measured time variability can be used, in principle, to constrain the parameters of the system (e.g., the strengths of the surface magnetic fields).

description: We perform a detailed analysis of the properties of the finite-range tensor term associated with the Gogny and M3Y effective interactions. In particular, by using a partial wave decomposition of the equation of state of symmetric nuclear matter, we show how we can extract their tensor parameters directly from microscopic results based on bare nucleon-nucleon interactions. Furthermore, we show that the zero-range limit of both finite-range interactions has the form of the N3LO Skyrme pseudo-potential, which thus constitutes a reliable approximation in the density range relevant for finite nuclei. Finally, we use Brueckner-Hartree-Fock results to fix the tensor parameters for the three effective interactions.

description: This paper summarises five years performance of the systems as a follow up of the results published earlier
[1]. The operational parameters of the photovoltaic (PV) system and environmental parameters are continuously
monitored using a dynamic on-line data collection system. Operational parameters of mono crystalline silicon and multi
crystalline silicon modules as a function of solar irradiation and atmospheric conditions have been under investigation.
Mono crystalline PV system has 2.28kWp nominal power with 19 series connected AS1206 modules and multi
crystalline PV system has 2.73 kWp nominal power with 26 S105 modules (13 series connected 2 parallel strings) which
were installed at the Mugla University Outdoor PV Test Site. Each array is connected the grid separately using Solarmax
3000E inverter and PV power of each before and after inverters are monitored. The total PV electricity yield during 60
months is 13,213kWh and 18,774kWh for mono crystalline silicon and multi crystalline silicon PV systems respectively.
The average annual energy ratings of the systems are calculated as 1159kWh/kWp and 1372kWh/kWp respectively for 60
months of operation. There is a small shadowing effect on mono crystalline modules on the PV test site. So the calculated
energy ratings widely differ for the PV systems. Seasonal tilt angle is applied to the arrays. From April to September PV
arrays are in summer tilts (15°) and from October to March PV arrays are in winter tilts (35°). Because of the shading
effect winter tilt is about 35° instead of 54°.
It is observed that the operational parameters of each type of module and the PV system exhibit significantly different
response to solar irradiation variation and weather conditions.

description: We present a scalable post-processing algorithm for debiasing trained models, including deep neural networks (DNNs), which we prove to be near-optimal by bounding its excess Bayes risk. We empirically validate its advantages on standard benchmark datasets across both classical algorithms as well as modern DNN architectures and demonstrate that it outperforms previous post-processing methods while performing on par with in-processing. In addition, we show that the proposed algorithm is particularly effective for models trained at scale where post-processing is a natural and practical choice.

Solar Cells, Modules and PV Systems for Space Applications

description: 24th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference, 21-25 September 2009, Hamburg, Germany; 700-703
description: The electrical power is one of the key resources of the space systems. The photovoltaic solar generators have
been and seem to continue being the best option as power source for satellites of low and geostationary orbits.
In order to orient the panels to the sun, coarse sun sensors are used as part of the attitude control system . In this work the
complete integration and qualification tests is presented. Electrical and electronic characterization through I-V curve, spectral
response measurement and determination of the effective lifetime of the minority carriers using modified OCVD technique
were carried out. These characterizations were before and after radiation damage using 10 Mev protons at normal incidence
and a fluence around 1011 p/cm2. The environmental test is carried out in the engineering qualification model of SAC-D solar
panel.

description: The device applications of plasmonic systems such as graphene and two dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) in III-V heterostructures include terahertz detectors, mixers, oscillators and modulators. These two dimensional (2D) plasmonic systems are not only well-suited for device integration, but also enable the broad tunability of underdamped plasma excitations via an applied electric field. We present demonstrations of the coherent coupling of multiple voltage tuned GaAs/AlGaAs 2D plasmonic resonators under terahertz irradiation. By utilizing a plasmonic homodyne mixing mechanism to downconvert the near field of plasma waves to a DC signal, we directly detect the spectrum of coupled plasmonic micro-resonator structures at cryogenic temperatures. The 2DEG in the studied devices can be interpreted as a plasmonic waveguide where multiple gate terminals control the 2DEG kinetic inductance. When the gate tuning of the 2DEG is spatially periodic, a one-dimensional finite plasmonic crystal forms. This results in a subwavelength structure, much like a metamaterial element, that nonetheless Bragg scatters plasma waves from a repeated crystal unit cell. A 50% in situ tuning of the plasmonic crystal band edges is observed. By introducing gate-controlled defects or simply terminating the lattice, localized states arise in the plasmonic crystal. Inherent asymmetries at the finite crystal boundaries produce an induced transparency-like phenomenon due to the coupling of defect modes and crystal surface states known as Tamm states. The demonstrated active control of coupled plasmonic resonators opens previously unexplored avenues for sensitive direct and heterodyne THz detection, planar metamaterials, and slow-light devices.

description: During the past 3 years crystalline PV modules fabricated by various German manufacturers have
been exposed to outdoor conditions in four different climates: warm moderate climate (Cologne, Germany),
tropical climate (Serpong, Indonesia), cold high mountain climate (Zugspitze, Germany) and arid conditions
(Sede Boqer, Israel). Annual inspections and measurements examined the degradation of these modules with
respect to electrical performance, mechanical condition and visible alterations. We give a detailed report of the
results after 3 years of weathering, along with the outlook for an extension to new worldwide test locations and
for the enhancement of measurement options for long-term characterizations.

description: The recent return of the US to the Paris Climate Accord, massive increase in solar panel production and energy storage solutions has resulted in pressure on supply for solar cell materials and recycling of panels installed in the 90's and beginning of the 2000's which have reached their end of life. In this work we focus on recycling silicon wafers and dies by stripping previous structures from the die using potent acids after which its base material is characterized and binned. We demonstrate the process for silicon p-type substrates where n-type doping is attained by using a simple solution of phosphoric acid, which is diffused into the substrate using a furnace thus creating a PN junction. In case the substrate is n-type it could be replaced by boric acid. This is followed by deposition of a conductive antireflective coating, bus bars and rear wafer metal coating. The initial demonstrated laboratory results indicate the feasibility of recycling wafers using simple low cost standard industrial methods.
