Publisher: name: IEEE
Year: 2022

Studying and providing solutions for an increasingly dynamic power and energy system requires the development of pioneering models and innovative thinking. Multi-agent systems are widely adopted for the simulation of complex power systems and for distributed decision-making. The actual intelligence of such agents is, however, dependent on the models they incorporate, which makes it essential to highlight the synergy between multi-agent systems and other artificial intelligence branches. This panel addresses some of the most promising models that can be achieved through the combination of multi-agent systems and other artificial-intelligence models from fields such as game theory, cyber-physical systems, machine learning and transactive energy systems. The panel will foster discussion on the advantages of combining multi-agent systems with other intelligent models and systems and will identify gaps in this kind of synergy, which are expected to contribute to the opening of new research paths towards a more efficient and intelligent power and energy system.

description: We construct a family of equations of state within a quasiparticle model by relating pressure, energy density, baryon density and susceptibilities adjusted to first-principles lattice QCD calculations. The relation between pressure and energy density from lattice QCD is surprisingly insensitive to details of the simulations. Effects from different lattice actions, quark masses and lattice spacings used in the simulations show up mostly in the quark-hadron phase transition region which we bridge over by a set of interpolations to a hadron resonance gas equation of state. Within our optimized quasiparticle model we then examine the equation of state along isentropic expansion trajectories at small net baryon densities, as relevant for experiments and hydrodynamic simulations at RHIC and LHC energies. We illustrate its impact on azimuthal flow anisotropies and transverse momentum spectra of various hadron species.

description: A broadband and sensitive time-resolved terahertz (THz) configuration relying on noncollinear optical interactions is presented. This noncollinear scheme enables a higher THz generation and detection efficiency in nonlinear crystals. The concept relies on a pair of thick (2 mm) GaP crystals with a phase grating etched on their surface to achieve phase matching between a diffracted near-infrared pulse and a THz wave propagating at normal incidence. This system is compared to a standard collinear scheme based on thin (0.2 mm) crystals and, while both systems provide access to a spectral bandwidth extending up to 6.5 THz, it is found that the noncollinear configuration improves the THz signal by more than a factor of 400 and the dynamic range of the system by 30 dB at a frequency of 3 THz.

description: Broadbent and Islam (TCC '20) proposed a quantum cryptographic primitive called quantum encryption with certified deletion. In this primitive, a receiver in possession of a quantum ciphertext can generate a classical certificate that the encrypted message is deleted. Although their construction is information-theoretically secure, it is limited to the setting of one-time symmetric key encryption (SKE), where a sender and receiver have to share a common key in advance and the key can be used only once. Moreover, the sender has to generate a quantum state and send it to the receiver over a quantum channel in their construction. Although deletion certificates are privately verifiable, which means a verification key for a certificate has to be kept secret, in the definition by Broadbent and Islam, we can also consider public verifiability. In this work, we present various constructions of encryption with certified deletion. - Quantum communication case: We achieve (reusable-key) public key encryption (PKE) and attribute-based encryption (ABE) with certified deletion. Our PKE scheme with certified deletion is constructed assuming the existence of IND-CPA secure PKE, and our ABE scheme with certified deletion is constructed assuming the existence of indistinguishability obfuscation and one-way function. These two schemes are privately verifiable. - Classical communication case: We also achieve PKE with certified deletion that uses only classical communication. We give two schemes, a privately verifiable one and a publicly verifiable one. The former is constructed assuming the LWE assumption in the quantum random oracle model. The latter is constructed assuming the existence of one-shot signatures and extractable witness encryption.

description: The systems that statisticians are asked to assess, such as nuclear weapons, infrastructure networks, supercomputer codes and munitions, have become increasingly complex. It is often costly to conduct full system tests. As such, we present a review of methodology that has been proposed for addressing system reliability with limited full system testing. The first approaches presented in this paper are concerned with the combination of multiple sources of information to assess the reliability of a single component. The second general set of methodology addresses the combination of multiple levels of data to determine system reliability. We then present developments for complex systems beyond traditional series/parallel representations through the use of Bayesian networks and flowgraph models. We also include methodological contributions to resource allocation considerations for system relability assessment. We illustrate each method with applications primarily encountered at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Knowledge Base Completion Meets Transfer Learning

description: The aim of knowledge base completion is to predict unseen facts from existing facts in knowledge bases. In this work, we introduce the first approach for transfer of knowledge from one collection of facts to another without the need for entity or relation matching. The method works for both canonicalized knowledge bases and uncanonicalized or open knowledge bases, i.e., knowledge bases where more than one copy of a real-world entity or relation may exist. Such knowledge bases are a natural output of automated information extraction tools that extract structured data from unstructured text. Our main contribution is a method that can make use of a large-scale pre-training on facts, collected from unstructured text, to improve predictions on structured data from a specific domain. The introduced method is the most impactful on small datasets such as ReVerb20K, where we obtained 6% absolute increase of mean reciprocal rank and 65% relative decrease of mean rank over the previously best method, despite not relying on large pre-trained models like BERT.

description: We report the high-resolution radio observations of eight Fanaroff-Riley type 0 radio galaxies (FR 0s), selected from the published FR 0 sample. These observations were carried out with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) and European VLBI Network (EVN) at frequencies of 5 and 8 GHz with a highest resolution of 0.6 mas. All eight sources show compact structures on projected physical sizes of 0.3-10 parsec. Six sources show a two-sided structure and two sources show a one-sided jet structure. J1025+1022 shows an X-shaped jet structure, which could result from a reorientation of the jet axis due to a restart of the central engine or a projection of a highly curved inner jet, but more studies are needed to examine these scenarios. Proper motions for 22 jet components of the eight sources are determined to be between -0.08 c and 0.51 c. Although most of the sources exhibit flat spectra, other observed characteristics, such as, low-amplitude flux density variations, low jet proper motion speeds, and symmetric two-sided jet structures, tend to support that the pc-scale FR 0 jets are mildly relativistic with lower bulk Lorentz factors and larger viewing angles.

Charged particle scattering in dipolarized magnetotail

description: The Earth's magnetotail is characterized by stretched magnetic field lines. Energetic particles are effectively scattered due to the field-line curvature, which then leads to isotropization of energetic particle distributions and particle precipitation to the Earth's atmosphere. Measurements of these precipitation at low-altitude spacecraft are thus often used to remotely probe the magnetotail current sheet configuration. This configuration may include spatially localized maxima of the curvature radius at equator (due to localized humps of the equatorial magnetic field magnitude) that reduce the energetic particle scattering and precipitation. Therefore, the measured precipitation patterns are related to the spatial distribution of the equatorial curvature radius that is determined by the magnetotail current sheet configuration. In this study, we show that, contrary to previous thoughts, the magnetic field line configuration with the localized curvature radius maximum can actually enhance the scattering and subsequent precipitation. The spatially localized magnetic field dipolarization (magnetic field humps) can significantly curve magnetic field lines far from the equator and create off-equatorial minima in the curvature radius. Scattering of energetic particles in these off-equatorial regions alters the scattering (and precipitation) patterns, which has not been studied yet. We discuss our results in the context of remote-sensing the magnetotail current sheet configuration with low-altitude spacecraft measurements.

Tic Disorders revisited: Introduction of the term “Tic Spectrum Disorders”
Creators: name: Ewgeni Jakubovski
name: Tanvi Sambrani
name: Müller-Vahl, Kirsten
Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2019

description: Background: Although, in the DSM-5 chronic motor tic disorder (CMTD) and Tourette syndrome (TS) are distinct diagnostic categories, there is no genetic or phenotypic evidence that supports this diagnostic categorization. The aim of this study was to compare patients with both diagnoses along a number of clinical characteristics to provide further diagnostic clarity.

Methods: Our sample consisted of 1018 of both adult and child patients suffering from chronic tic disorders. Tic severity was assessed via Shapiro Tourette-Syndrome Severity Scale (STSS). Lifetime prevalence of other comorbid conditions was assessed in a semi-structured clinical interview.

Results: Both groups did not differ significantly on any of the clinical or demographic variables. Patients only differed in tic severity with CMTD patients (n=40) having lower mean tic severity (STSS=2.0 vs. 2.8;p<.001), prevalence of complex motor tics (27.5% vs.55.9%;p<.01), copropraxia (0% vs. 16.2%;p<.01) and echopraxia (10.0% vs. 23.8%;p<.05), and a markedly lower comorbidity score (1.9 vs. 2.7;p<.001) as compared to TS patients (n=978).

Conclusions: Our results suggest that both disorders exist along a symptom severity continuum of which TS constitutes a more severe and CMTD a less severe form. We therefore suggest the introduction of the term “tic spectrum disorders”, instead of using different diagnostic categories.
Analysis of Coulomb breakup experiments of 8B with a dynamical eikonal approximation

description: Various measurements of the Coulomb breakup of 8B are analyzed within the dynamical eikonal approximation using a single description of 8B. We obtain a good agreement with experiment for different observables measured between 40 and 80 MeV per nucleon. A simple 7Be-p potential model description of 8B seems sufficient to describe all observables. In particular, the asymmetry in parallel-momentum distributions due to E1-E2 interferences is well reproduced without any scaling. The projectile-target nuclear interactions seem negligible if data are selected at forward angles. On the contrary, like in previous analyzes we observe a significant influence of higher-order effects. The accuracy of astrophysical S factors for the 7Be(p,gamma)8B reaction at stellar energies extracted from breakup measurements therefore seems difficult to evaluate.

In defense of territory : province-building under W.A.C. Bennett
Creators: name: Tomblin, Stephen G.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The thesis is primarily an attempt to provide a better understanding on how territorial conflicts influenced infrastructural development in British Columbia between the years 1952 and 1972. Primary emphasis is placed upon exploring the territorial component of province-building in British Columbia. The major theme which emerges is that the spatial pattern of economic development witnessed in the province during these years was not merely the product of societal pressure, but instead, reflected the dreams, and ambitions of the W.A.C. Bennett government. Bennett's efforts to build a better integrated provincial society played a major role in strengthening the provincial government's control over the provincial territory. Six case studies on infrastructural development are investigated: railway transportation, oil and gas development, hydro development, ferry transportation, port development, and highway transportation. The thesis analyzes infrastructural development because it is assumed that the state-centred paradigm is much more useful for explaining provincial expansionism within this policy context. The thesis has four sections. The first section provides a review of province-building, and assesses how territorial conflicts influence state infrastructure development. The second section includes a review of the political setting. The third section presents the case studies. The final section provides a summary of the findings and concludes that the Bennett government's desire to exploit infrastructure for the purpose of building a more integrated and united territory had a major impact upon the spatial pattern of economic development in British Columbia.
Many-flavor electron gas approach to electron-hole drops

Publisher: name: arXiv

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

description: A many-flavor electron gas (MFEG) is analyzed, such as could be found in a multi-valley semiconductor or semimetal. Using the re-derived polarizability for the MFEG an exact expression for the total energy of a uniform MFEG in the many-flavor approximation is found; the interacting energy per particle is shown to be -0.574447E_h a_0^3/4 m*^3/4 n^1/4 with E_h being the Hartree energy, a_0 Bohr radius, and m^* particle effective mass. The short characteristic length-scale of the MFEG motivates a local density approximation, allowing a gradient expansion in the energy density, and the expansion scheme is applied to electron-hole drops, finding a new form for the density profile and its surface scaling properties.

description: Grammedessa Correia & Fernandes, 2016 is a genus raised to include some species of Edessa Fabricius, 1803 that is a very common group of stink bugs inhabiting only the Neotropical region. Grammedessa was proposed excluding a few species that were morphologically similar but not completely fitting in the diagnostic requirements of the genus. Grammedessa was also proposed without considering a phylogenetic context. In this work, the monophyly of Grammedessa was tested using a cladistic analysis, including all species that were originally excluded, under both Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian methods. As a result, six new species are now included in Grammedessa, which will be described in a forthcoming paper; Edessa botocudo Kirkaldy, 1909 was considered an unnecessary new name for Edessa hamata Walker, 1868 that was transferred to Grammedessa, resulting in G. hamata (Walker, 1868) comb.n. Calcatedessa gen.n., a new genus sister to Grammedessa, is here proposed to include four new species: C. anthomorpha sp.n., C. clarimarginata sp.n., C. germana sp.n. and C. temnomarginata sp.n. The Calcatedessa–Grammedessa clade and both genera were recovered as monophyletic by Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian methods. An identification key to the species of Calcatedessa gen. n. is provided. The new genus is distributed in Guyana, Suriname, French Guyana, and Brazil.

description: Intelligent information systems that contain emergent elements often encounter trust problems because results do not get sufficiently explained and the procedure itself can not be fully retraced. This is caused by a control flow depending either on stochastic elements or on the structure and relevance of the input data. Trust in such algorithms can be established by letting users interact with the system so that they can explore results and find patterns that can be compared with their expected solution. Reflecting features and patterns of human understanding of a domain against algorithmic results can create awareness of such patterns and may increase the trust that a user has in the solution. If expectations are not met, close inspection can be used to decide whether a solution conforms to the expectations or whether it goes beyond the expected. By either accepting or rejecting a solution, the user's set of expectations evolves and a learning process for the users is established. In this paper we present a conceptual framework that reflects and supports this process. The framework is the result of an analysis of two exemplary case studies from two different disciplines with information systems that assist experts in their complex tasks.

Anti-islanding protection or islanding detection for distributed energy resources have been extensively investigated and discussed in the past two decades. However, the following limitations in anti-islanding schemes still exits: 1) a gap still exists for synchronous generators, 2) degraded performance for inverter-based generators. Many proposed anti-islanding methods are not practical, as seen by utilities. This panel is intended to introduce these gaps, propose methods to manage risks inherent to methods, and present real case studies, which cover recent findings on distributed energy resource islanding detection performance from the field operation of photovoltaic power stations, farm biogas generators and other distributed generation units. The panel will bridge an industry knowledge gap in theory and application.

description: This thesis addresses the non-violent struggle of Local 456 of the Upholsterers International Union, Austin, Texas, to organize, to win recognition, and to bargain collectively with the Economy Furniture Company. Ninety percent of the laborers involved in the strike effort were Mexican American, and approximately forty percent of them were women. It was with extraordinary courage and determination that these Chicano women and men endured the prolonged strike that began in November of 1968, and did not conclude until the spring of 1971. In the course of their struggle, which became known as the "Chicano Huelga," the strikers procured wide support from the Chicano community in Austin. They also organized an effective boycott, and became informed about similar battles fought by Chicanos throughout the Southwest. The Austin Chicano Huelga was an experience of political awakening not only for the strikers of Economy Furniture, but also for the Austin Chicano community as a whole

description: In this work, we study the prospect of detecting the stochastic gravitational-wave background with the TianQin Observatory. We consider sources of both astrophysical-origin and cosmological-origin, including stellar-mass binary black holes, binary neutron stars, Galactic white dwarves, inflation, first-order phase transitions, and cosmic defects. For the detector configurations, we consider TianQin, TianQin I+II, and TianQin + LISA. We study the detectability of stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds with both the cross correlation and null channel methods, and present the corresponding power-law integrated sensitivity curves. We introduce the definition of the "joint foreground" with a network of detectors. With the joint foreground, the number of resolved double white dwarves in the Galaxy will be increased by 5$-$22\% compared with a simple combination of individual detectors. The astrophysical background is expected to be detectable with a signal-to-noise ratio of 100 after 5 years of operation and dominated by the extragalactic double white dwarves. On the other hand, due to the uncertain nature of underlying models, we can only estimate the detection capability of the cosmological background for specific cases.

description: Our research asked the following main questions: how the characteristics of professionals service firms allow them to successfully innovate in exploiting through exploring by combining internal and external factors of innovation and how these ambidextrous organisations perceive these factors; and how do successful innovators in professional service firms use corporate entrepreneurship models in their new service development processes? With a goal to shed light on innovation in professional knowledge intensive business service firms’ (PKIBS), we concluded a qualitative analysis of ten globally acting law firms, providing business legal services. We analyse the internal and factors of innovation that are critical for PKIBS’ innovation. We suggest how these firms become ambidextrous in changing environment. Our findings show that this kind of firms has particular type of ambidexterity due to their specific characteristics. As PKIBS are very dependant on its human capital, governance structure, and the high expectations of their clients, their ambidexterity is structural, but also contextual at the same time. In addition, we suggest 3 types of corporate entrepreneurship models that international PKIBS use to enhance innovation in turbulent environments. We looked at how law firms going through turbulent environments were using corporate entrepreneurship activities as a part of their strategies to be more innovative. Using visual mapping methodology, we developed three types of innovation patterns in the law firms. We suggest that corporate entrepreneurship models depend on successful application of mainly three elements: who participates in corporate entrepreneurship initiatives; what are the formal processes that enhances these initiatives; and what are the policies applied to this type of behaviour.

description: In the present paper, the correction due to the thermal interaction of two charges to the recombination and ionization processes for the hydrogen atom is considered. The evaluation is based on a rigorous quantum electrodynamic (QED) approach within the framework of perturbation theory. The lowest-order radiative correction to the recombination/ionization cross-section is examined for a wide range of temperatures corresponding to laboratory and astrophysical conditions. The found thermal contribution is discussed both for specific states and for the total recombination and ionization coefficients.

description: The finite temperature phase transition of strongly interacting matter is studied within a nonlocal chiral quark model of the NJL type coupled to a Polyakov loop. In contrast to previous investigations which were restricted to the mean-field approximation, mesonic correlations are included by evaluating the quark-antiquark ring sum. For physical pion masses, we find that the pions dominate the pressure below the phase transition, whereas above T_c the pressure is well described by the mean-field approximation result. For large pion masses, as realized in lattice simulations, the meson effects are suppressed.

Multiferroic materials for spin-based logic devices

description: Logical devices based on spin waves offer the potential to avoid dissipation mechanisms that limit devices based on either the charge or spin of mobile electrons. Multiferroic magnetoelectrics, which are materials that combine ferroelectric and magnetic order, allow direct switching of magnetic order and thence of spin-wave properties using an applied electric field. The intrinsic coupling between polarization and magnetic moments, generated by strong electronic correlations in these multiferroic materials, is argued to provide new approaches to spin-wave injection and spin-wave switching using applied voltages with no external magnetic field. These effects are shown to arise in a phenomenological Landau theory of coupled electronic and magnetic orders in multiferroic BiFeO3, and found to depend subtly on differences between the crystalline and film states of this material.

Action potential discharge in somata and dendrites of CA1 pyramidal neurons of mammalian hippocampus : an electrophysiological analysis
Creators: name: Turner, Ray William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The electrophysiological properties of somatic and dendritic membranes of CA1 pyramidal neurons were investigated using the rat in vitro hippocampal slice preparation. A comprehensive analysis of extracellular field potentials, current-source density (CSD) and intracellular activity has served to identify the site of origin of action potential (AP) discharge in CA1 pyramidal neurons. 1) Action potential discharge of CA1 pyramidal cells was evoked by suprathreshold stimulation of the alveus (antidromic) or afferent synaptic inputs in stratum oriens (SO) or stratum radiatum (SR). Laminar profiles of the "stimulus evoked" extracellular field potentials were recorded at 25µm intervals along the dendro-somatic axis of the pyramidal cell and a 1-dimensional CSD analysis applied. 2) The shortest latency population spike response and current sink was recorded in stratum pyramidale or the proximal stratum oriens, a region corresponding to somata and axon hillocks of CA1 pyramidal neurons. A biphasic positive/negative spike potential (current source/sink) was recorded in dendritic regions, with both components increasing in peak latency through the dendritic field with distance from the border of stratum pyramidale. 3) A comparative intracellular analysis of evoked activity in somatic and dendritic membranes revealed a basic similarity in the pattern of AP discharge at all levels of the dendro-somatic axis. Stimulation of the alveus, SO, or SR evoked a single spike while injection of depolarizing current evoked a repetitive train of spikes grouped for comparative purposes into three basic patterns of AP discharge. 4) Both current and stimulus evoked intracellular spikes displayed a progressive decline in amplitude and increase in halfwidth with distance from the border of stratum pyramidale. 5) The only consistent voltage threshold for intracellular spike discharge was found in the region of the cell body, with no apparent threshold for spike activation in dendritic locations. 6) Stimulus evoked intradendritic spikes were evoked beyond the peak of the population spike recorded in stratum pyramidale, and aligned with the biphasic extradendritic field potential shown through laminar profile analysis to conduct with increasing latency from the cell body layer. The evoked characteristics of action potential discharge in CA1 pyramidal cells are interpreted to indicate the initial generation of a spike in the region of the soma-axon hillock and a subsequent retrograde spike invasion of dendritic arborizations.

With the rapid progress of recent years, techniques that generate and manipulate multimedia content can now provide a very advanced level of realism. The boundary between real and synthetic media has become very thin. On the one hand, this opens the door to a series of exciting applications in different fields such as creative arts, advertising, film production, video games. On the other hand, it poses enormous security threats. Software packages freely available on the web allow any individual, without special skills, to create very realistic fake images and videos. These can be used to manipulate public opinion during elections, commit fraud, discredit or blackmail people. Therefore, there is an urgent need for automated tools capable of detecting false multimedia content and avoiding the spread of dangerous false information. This talk aims to present an analysis of the methods for visual media integrity verification, that is, the detection of manipulated images and videos. Special emphasis will be placed on the phenomenon of deepfakes and on modern data-driven forensic methods to fight them. The analysis will help highlight the limits of current forensic tools, the most relevant issues, the upcoming challenges, and suggest future directions for research.

description: In addition to regular Schwabe cycles (~ 11 years), solar activity also shows longer periods of enhanced or reduced activity. Of these, reconstructions of the Dalton Minimum provide controversial sunspot group numbers and limited sunspot positions, partially due to limited source record accessibility. We analysed Stephan Prantner's sunspot observations from 1804--1844, the values of which had only been known through estimates despite their notable chronological coverage during the Dalton Minimum. We identified his original manuscript in Stiftsarchiv Wilten, near Innsbruck, Austria. We reviewed his biography (1782--1873) and located his observational sites at Wilten and Waidring, which housed the principal telescopes for his early and late observations: a 3.5-inch astronomical telescope and a Reichenbach 4-feet achromatic erecting telescope, respectively. We identified 215 days of datable sunspot observations, which are twice as much data as his estimated data in the existing database (= 115 days). Prantner counted up to 7--9 sunspot groups per day and measured sunspot positions, which show their distributions in both solar hemispheres. These results strikingly emphasise the difference between the Dalton Minimum and the Maunder Minimum as well as the similarity between the Dalton Minimum and the modern solar cycles.
