Training material package for using EN-TRACK by building owners and contractors
Creators: name: Stanislav ANDREEV
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: This document builds upon the interim training materials package and aims at providing support for the building owners and operators (BO) using the EN-TRACK platform. While the first document was focused more on general description of the platform functionalities and the available data sources to be used for supplementing the platform with data, the main focus of this report is to provide training materials for BO who are already using the platform.

The report begins with a section providing step-by-step guidance for the registration process, followed by instructions for provision of data. This is followed by a focus on the outputs that EN-TRACK provides. The report then concludes with guidance on how BO can best use the outputs during their day-to-day work.

As the platform will be open for non-registered users (with limited functionalities), who will have access to general statistical data, a guide for them for accessing and downloading the main outputs is also included.

In the Appendixes (A to D) a detailed overview of the data sources available both in Spain and Bulgaria is given, as in many cases non experts are expected to input data to be used by the management of the organisations registered.

description: We present optical conductivity spectra for $Pb_{2}Ru_{2}O_{7-δ}$ single crystal at different temperatures. Among reported pyrochlore ruthenates, this compound exhibits metallic behavior in a wide temperature range and has the least resistivity. At low frequencies, the optical spectra show typical Drude responses, but with a knee feature around 1000 \cm. Above 20000 \cm, a broad absorption feature is observed. Our analysis suggests that the low frequency responses can be understood from two Drude components arising from the partially filled Ru $t_{2g}$ bands with different plasma frequencies and scattering rates. The high frequency broad absorption may be contributed by two interband transitions: from occupied Ru $t_{2g}$ states to empty $e_{g}$ bands and from the fully filled O 2p bands to unoccupied Ru $t_{2g}$ states.

description: We examine the thermodynamic stability of large black holes in four-dimensional anti-de Sitter space, and we demonstrate numerically that black holes which lack local thermodynamic stability often also lack stability against small perturbations. This shows that no-hair theorems do not apply in anti-de Sitter space. A heuristic argument, based on thermodynamics only, suggests that if there are any violations of Cosmic Censorship in the evolution of unstable black holes in anti-de Sitter space, they are beyond the reach of a perturbative analysis.

Year: 2022

description: EN-TRACK, which stands for Energy Efficiency Performance-Tracking Platform for Benchmarking Savings and Investments in Buildings, is a critical and timely project that seeks to address a number of key barriers holding back greater investments in building energy efficiency. The core objectives of the project, which is funded through the European Union (EU) Horizon 2020
 research and innovation programme under grant agreement number 885395, are to: Enable massive gathering of data on the before-and-after performance of energy efficiency measures in buildings. Create a continuous data collection process through structured engagement with stakeholders. Adopt standard data descriptions that align with current international standards and existing data platforms, notably the De-Risking Energy Efficiency Platform (DEEP). Create a self-sustaining solution that continues to be viable after the completion of the project in 2023. The objective of this report is to create and provide the basis for the training material aimed at building owners and operators (BO) using the EN-TRACK platform. It can act as a direct manual for BO in guiding them through the platform requirements in terms of data to be provided, preparing them for its official launch. The report reviews the available sources of information in
 both pilot countries (Bulgaria and Spain) aiming to facilitate BO in collecting and verifying the data needed by the platform. This task is a pre-requisite for the platform to work for them, and doing it well is the key to exploit its full potential. The report also summarises the main benefits for BO, guiding them through the platform functionalities and outputs and describing how they can benefit from them. It highlights how EN-TRACK works for BO, facilitating the building management process by: Enabling operational control, monitoring and verification of implemented Energy efficiency measures (EEM). Supporting the elaboration of short- and long-term building renovation strategies at local level. Attracting funding for building renovation projects. Thе report will be further complemented by a second one, expected in December 2022, once the platform is fully operational. It will focus more on the practicalities of the platform and the two documents combined will create a solid basis for the training materials to be produced in various formats, such as videos, platform wiki, and communication materials.

Subjects: Ecosystem observation, processes and dynamics

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Sørfjord, Norway, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada, are two sub-arctic ecosystems with similar trophic structure. However, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, severe exploitation of groundfish stocks has lead to important shifts in the trophic structure. In the Sørfjord, the situation is different: fishing pressure is much lighter. Our hypothesis is that overexploitation leads to changes in the trophic structure and severely alters the resilience of ecosystems. Based on the same modelling approach (Ecopath with Ecosim) the food web structure was compared, using different ecosystem indicators. Patterns of food web structure and trophodynamics were contrasted. The keystone species in both ecosystems is cod. In both ecosystems, forage fish are also important. Even after similar environmental changes in both ecosystems, and after a reduction of fishing pressure in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, there is no recovery of cod stocks in this ecosystem. In the Sørfjord, after different perturbations (but not from the fishery), the ecosystem seems to return to his equilibrium.

description: Abstract: "The branches of optimal root loci that approach infinity as the error weighting is decreased can be characterized by a combination of several Butterworth patterns existing on separate Riemann sheets. Algorithmic approaches have been reported to find the order of these Butterworth patterns. This report presents a geometric technique, involving eigenvalue polar plots, that provides direct realization of the directions and radii of the asymptotic eigenvalue patterns. A graphically- based systematic procedure is proposed and employed in a sample problem for analyzing Butterworth patterns."

description: We test accurate models of Comptonization spectra over the high quality data of the BeppoSAX long look at NGC 5548, allowing for different geometries of the scattering region, different temperatures of the input soft photon field and different viewing angles. We find that the BeppoSAX data are well represented by a plane parallel or hemispherical corona viewed at an inclination angle of 30$^{\circ}$. For both geometries the best fit temperature of the soft photons is close to 15$^{+3}_{-9}$ eV. The corresponding best fit values of the hot plasma temperature and optical depth are $kT_{\rm e}\simeq$ 250--260 keV and $τ\simeq$ 0.16--0.37 for the slab and hemisphere respectively. These values are substantially different from those derived fitting the data with a power-law + cut off approximation to the Comptonization component ($kT_{\rm e}\lta$ 60 keV, $τ\simeq$ 2.4). This is due to the fact that accurate Comptonization spectra in anisotropic geometries show "intrinsic" curvature which reduces the necessity of a high energy cut-off. The Comptonization parameter derived for the slab model {is} larger than predicted for a two phase plane parallel corona in energy balance, suggesting that a more ``photon-starved'' geometry is necessary. The spectral softening detected during a flare which occurred in the central part of the observation corresponds to a decrease of the Comptonization parameter, probably associated with an increase of the soft photon luminosity, the {hard} photon luminosity remaining constant.

description: We analyze data from the Helioseismic Magnetic Imager (HMI) and the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instruments on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) to characterize the spatio-temporal acoustic power distribution in active regions as a function of the height in the solar atmosphere. For this, we use Doppler velocity and continuum intensity observed using the magnetically sensitive line at 6173 Å as well as intensity at 1600 Å and 1700 Å. We focus on the power enhancements seen around AR 11330 as a function of wave frequency, magnetic field strength, field inclination and observation height. We find that acoustic halos occur above the acoustic cutoff frequency and extends up to 10 mHz in HMI Doppler and AIA 1700 Å observations. Halos are also found to be strong functions of magnetic field and their inclination angle. We further calculate and examine the spatially averaged relative phases and cross-coherence spectra and find different wave characteristics at different heights.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A fifty year time series of sea surface temperature (SST) and time series on fishery yields are examined for emergent patterns relative to climate change. More recent SeaWiFS derived chlorophyll and primary productivity data were also included in the examination. Of the 64 LMEs examined, 61 showed an emergent pattern of SST increases from 1957 to 2006, ranging from mean annual values of 0.08°C to 1.35°C. The rate of surface warming in LMEs from 1957 to 2006 is 4 to 8 times greater than the recent estimate of the Japan Meteorological Society’s COBE estimate for the world oceans. Effects of SST warming on fisheries, climate change, and trophic cascading are examined. Concern is expressed on the possible effects of surface layer warming in relation to thermocline formation and possible inhibition of vertical nutrient mixing within the water column in relation to bottom up effects of chlorophyll and primary productivity on global fisheries resources.

description: We present a three-species multi-fluid MHD model (H$^+$, H$_2$O$^+$ and e$^-$), endowed with the requisite atmospheric chemistry, that is capable of accurately quantifying the magnitude of water ion losses from exoplanets. We apply this model to a water world with Earth-like parameters orbiting a Sun-like star for three cases: (i) current normal solar wind conditions, (ii) ancient normal solar wind conditions, and (iii) one extreme "Carrington-type" space weather event. We demonstrate that the ion escape rate for (ii), with a value of 6.0$\times$10$^{26}$ s$^{-1}$, is about an order of magnitude higher than the corresponding value of 6.7$\times$10$^{25}$ s$^{-1}$ for (i). Studies of ion losses induced by space weather events, where the ion escape rates can reach $\sim$ 10$^{28}$ s$^{-1}$, are crucial for understanding how an active, early solar-type star (e.g., with frequent coronal mass ejections) could have accelerated the depletion of the exoplanet's atmosphere. We briefly explore the ramifications arising from the loss of water ions, especially for planets orbiting M-dwarfs where such effects are likely to be significant.

description: Abstract: "In support of the effort to bring downstream issues to the attention of the designer as parts take shape, an analysis system is being built to extract certain features relevant to assembly processes, such as the dimensions, shape, and symmetry of an object. These canbe applied to a model of the downstream process to evaluate the object's difficulty of handling and assemblability. In this paper, we will focus on the acquisition phase of the assembly process and employ a model of design for assembly (DFA) evaluation to quantify factors in this process. The capabilities of a non-homogeneous, non-manifold boundary representation geometric modeling system are used with an Index of Difficulty (ID) that represents the dexterity and time required to assemble a product.A series of algorithms based on the high-level abstractions of loop and link are developed to extract orientation difficulty feature data forming a DFA critic. Examples of the [sic] testing the robustness of the algorithms are given. Problems related to nearly symmetric outlines are also discussed."

The small size minors are applied for the evaluations of the scale dimensions of these two models and the results are compared to D'=D-2 dimensional Yang-Lee edge singularity and to pure D'=D-2 dimensional Ising model, respectively. For the former case, the dimensional reduction is shown to be valid for $3 \le D \le 8$, and for the latter case, the deviation from the dimensional reduction can be seen below five dimensions.

In one model the quasi-particle spectra have horizontal line nodes on all three Fermi surface sheets, while in the other the spectra have line or point nodes on the alpha and beta sheets and no nodes on the gamma sheet. Both models reproduce the experimental heat capacity and penetration depth results, but the calculated specific heat is sightly closer to experiment in the second solution with nodes only on the alpha and beta sheets.

Fast Fine-grained Image Classification via Weakly Supervised Discriminative Localization

description: Fine-grained image classification is to recognize hundreds of subcategories in each basic-level category. Existing methods employ discriminative localization to find the key distinctions among subcategories. However, they generally have two limitations: (1) Discriminative localization relies on region proposal methods to hypothesize the locations of discriminative regions, which are time-consuming. (2) The training of discriminative localization depends on object or part annotations, which are heavily labor-consuming. It is highly challenging to address the two key limitations simultaneously, and existing methods only focus on one of them. Therefore, we propose a weakly supervised discriminative localization approach (WSDL) for fast fine-grained image classification to address the two limitations at the same time, and its main advantages are: (1) n-pathway end-to-end discriminative localization network is designed to improve classification speed, which simultaneously localizes multiple different discriminative regions for one image to boost classification accuracy, and shares full-image convolutional features generated by region proposal network to accelerate the process of generating region proposals as well as reduce the computation of convolutional operation. (2) Multi-level attention guided localization learning is proposed to localize discriminative regions with different focuses automatically, without using object and part annotations, avoiding the labor consumption. Different level attentions focus on different characteristics of the image, which are complementary and boost the classification accuracy. Both are jointly employed to simultaneously improve classification speed and eliminate dependence on object and part annotations. Compared with state-of-the-art methods on 2 widely-used fine-grained image classification datasets, our WSDL approach achieves the best performance.

description: A refrigeration system composed of silicon MEMS cooling elements is designed based on the electrocaloric (EC) effect in a P(VDF–TrFE–CFE) terpolymer, poly(vinylidene fluoride–trifluoroethylene–chlorofluoroethylene) 59.2/33.6/7.2 mol%. Each cooling element includes two diaphragm actuators fabricated in the plane of a silicon wafer, which drive a heat transfer fluid back and forth across terpolymer layers that are placed between them. In the EC effect, reversible temperature and entropy changes related to polarization changes appear in a material under the application and removal of an electric field. Finite element simulations are performed to explore the system performance. The effect of the applied electric field is studied, and the time lag between the electric field and the diaphragm motion is found to significantly affect the cooling power. A parametric study of the operating frequency, externally-applied temperature span, and the electric field amplitude are conducted. The results indicate that when the system is operated at a temperature span of 15 K, a cooling power density of 3 W/cm2and a percent of Carnot COP of 31% are achieved for one element.

description: Based on the quasi-particle description of the QCD medium at finite temperature and density we formulate the phenomenological model for the equation of state that exhibits crossover or the first order deconfinement phase transition. The models are constructed in such a way to be thermodynamically consistent and to satisfy the properties of the ground state nuclear matter comply with constraints from intermediate heavy--ion collision data. Our equations of states show quite reasonable agreement with the recent lattice findings on temperature and baryon chemical potential dependence of relevant thermodynamical quantities in the parameter range covering both the hadronic and quark--gluon sectors. The model predictions on the isentropic trajectories in the phase diagram are shown to be consistent with the recent lattice results. Our nuclear equations of states are to be considered as an input to the dynamical models describing the production and the time evolution of a thermalized medium created in heavy ion collisions in a broad energy range from SIS up to LHC.

description: We test accurate models of Comptonization spectra over the high quality data of the BeppoSAX long look at NGC 5548. The data are well represented by a plane parallel corona with an inclination angle of 30$^{\circ}$, a soft photon temperature of 5 eV and a hot plasma temperature and optical depth of $kT_{\rm e}\simeq$ 360 keV and $τ\simeq$ 0.1, respectively. If energy balance applies, such values suggest that a more ``photon-starved'' geometry (e.g. a hemispheric region) is necessary. The spectral softening detected during a flare, appears to be associated to a decrease of the heating-to-cooling ratio, indicating a geometric and/or energetic modification of the disk plus corona system. The hot plasma temperature derived with the models above is significantly higher than that obtained fitting the same data with a power law plus high energy cut off model for the continuum. This is due to the fact that in anisotropic geometries Comptonization spectra show "intrinsic" curvature which moves the fitted high energy cut-off to higher energies.

description: We show that superconductors with inhomogeneous order parameters can show similar features as anisotropic ones. In this paper we study the low temperature specific heat dependence in such a system and we show that the disorder associated with randomly distributed attractive centers convert the BCS temperature exponential behaviour into a power law formula. To describe superconductivity we used a random version of the negative U Hubbard model, while the disorder was treated by means of the Coherent Potential Approximation (CPA).

description: We predict the cross-plane phononthermal conductivity of Stillinger-Weber siliconthin films as thin as 17.4 nm using the lattice Boltzmann method. The thin films are modeled using bulk phononproperties obtained from harmonic and anharmonic lattice dynamics calculations. We use this approach, which considers all of the phonons in the first Brillouin-zone, to assess the suitability of common assumptions. Specifically, we assess the validity of: (i) neglecting the contributions of optical modes, (ii) the isotropic approximation, (iii) assuming an averaged bulk mean-free path, and (iv) the Matthiessen rule. Because the frequency-dependent contributions to thermal conductivity change as the film thickness is reduced, assumptions that are valid for bulk are not necessarily valid for thin films.

description: A new class of accelerating, exact and explicit solutions of relativistic hydrodynamics is found - more than 50 years after the previous similar result, the Landau-Khalatnikov solution. Surprisingly, the new solutions have a simple form, that generalizes the renowned, but accelerationless, Hwa-Bjorken solution. These new solutions take into account the work done by the fluid elements on each other, and work not only in one temporal and one spatial dimensions, but also in arbitrary number of spatial dimensions. They are applied here for an advanced estimation of initial energy density and life-time of the reaction in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions.

description: To undertake machine lip-reading, we try to recognise speech from a visual signal. Current work often uses viseme classification supported by language models with varying degrees of success. A few recent works suggest phoneme classification, in the right circumstances, can outperform viseme classification. In this work we present a novel two-pass method of training phoneme classifiers which uses previously trained visemes in the first pass. With our new training algorithm, we show classification performance which significantly improves on previous lip-reading results.

description: Some of the earliest axon pathways to form in the vertebrate forebrain are established as commissural and retinal axons cross the midline of the diencephalon and telencephalon. To better understand axon guidance in the forebrain, we characterized the zebrafish belladonna (bel) mutation, which disrupts commissural and retinal axon guidance in the forebrain. Using a positional cloning strategy we determined that the bel locus encodes zebrafish Lhx2, a lim-homeodomain transcription factor expressed in the brain, eye, and fin buds. We show that bel(lhx2) function is required for patterning in the ventral forebrain and eye and that loss of bel function leads to alterations in regulatory gene expression, perturbations in axon guidance factors, and the absence of an optic chiasm and forebrain commissures. Our analysis reveals new roles for lhx2 in midline axon guidance, forebrain patterning, and eye morphogenesis.

description: We consider topology-changing transitions between 7-manifolds of holonomy G_2 constructed as a quotient of CY x S^1 by an antiholomorphic involution. We classify involutions for Complete Intersection CY threefolds, focussing primarily on cases without fixed points. The ordinary conifold transition between CY threefolds descends to a transition between G_2 manifolds, corresponding in the N=1 effective theory incorporating the light black hole states either to a change of branch in the scalar potential or to a Higgs mechanism. A simple example of conifold transition with a fixed nodal point is also discussed. As a spin-off, we obtain examples of G_2 manifolds with the same value for the sum of Betti numbers b_2+b_3, and hence potential candidates for mirror manifolds.

Constraint reasoning and planning in concurrent design

description: Abstract: "By concurrent design we mean, in part, concurrent consideration of a broad range of life-cycle constraints concerning, for example manufacturing and maintencnce. The multitude of constraints arising from these considerations make it difficult to identify satisfactory designs. An alternative to explicitly considering all constraints is to determine which of the constraints are relevant, redundant or inconsistent and to consider only those which impact design decisions.The proposed approach is based on two simple ideas: (1) Constraints provide a uniform representation for a variety of life-cycle concerns, and (2) Interval methods applied to constraints can be used to identify critical constraints, eliminate redundant constraints and to narrow the space of design alternatives. The application of the necessary and sufficient intervals of constraints and constraint propagation techniques are used to classify constraints in this way and to focus design activity. Regional monotinicity [i.e. monotonicity] properties are used to identify critical constraints.

description: The effects of interactions in a 2D electron system in a strong magnetic field of two degenerate Landau levels with opposite spins and at filling factors 1/2 are studied. Using the Chern-Simons gauge transformation, the system is mapped to Composite Fermions. The fluctuations of the gauge field induce an effective interaction between the Composite Fermions which can be attractive in both the particle-particle and in the particle-hole channel. As a consequence, a spin-singlet (s-wave) ground state of Composite Fermions can exist with a finite pair-breaking energy gap for particle-particle or particle-hole pairs. The competition between these two possible ground states is discussed. For long-range Coulomb interaction the particle-particle state is favored if the interaction strength is small. With increasing interaction strength there is a crossover towards the particle-hole state. If the interaction is short range, only the particle-particle state is possible.

Cold asymmetrical fermion superfluids in nonperturbative renormalisation group

description: The application of the nonperturbative renormalisation group approach to a system with two fermion species is studied. Assuming a simple ansatz for the effective action with effective bosons, describing pairing effects we derive a set of approximate flow equations for the effective coupling including boson and fermionic fluctuations. The case of two fermions with different masses but coinciding Fermi surfaces is considered. The phase transition to a phase with broken symmetry is found at a critical value of the running scale. The large mass difference is found to disfavour the formation of pairs. The mean-field results are recovered if the effects of boson loops are omitted. While the boson fluctuation effects were found to be negligible for large values of $p_{F} a$ they become increasingly important with decreasing $p_{F} a$ thus making the mean field description less accurate.

description: Abstract: "A thermal design methodology suitable for concurrent design of cost-driven electronic systems is proposed and exemplified for a sample printed circuit board (PCB). The design methodology utilizes an evolutionary concept, in which the analysis tools are capable of adjusting their level of complexity as the design evolves, initiating with rough approximate analyses and culminating with a conjugate conduction/convection simulation for a portion of the sample of the PCB. The level of approximation included at each stage is selected with consideration of both time and accuracy constraints. The importance of considering the conjugate problem in generating heat transfer coefficients for electronic packages is discussed. The proposed thermal design methodology is then applied to the Vu-Man artifact and the results are described to illustrate the effect that upstream thermal information can have on the evolution of a design."

description: Noncommutative gauge theories can be constructed from ordinary $U(\infty)$ gauge theories in lower dimensions. Using this construction we identify the operators on noncommutative D-branes which couple to linearized supergravity backgrounds, from a knowledge of such couplings to lower dimensional D-branes with no $B$ field. These operators belong to a class of gauge invariant observables involving open Wilson lines. Assuming a DBI form of the coupling we show, to second order in the gauge potential but to all orders of the noncommutativity parameter, that our proposal agrees with the operator obtained in terms of ordinary gauge fields by considering brane actions in backgrounds and then using the Seiberg-Witten map to rewrite this in terms of noncommutative gauge fields. Our result clarify why a certain {\it commutative} but {\it non-associative} ``generalized star product'' appears both in the expansion of the open Wilson line, as well as in string amplitude computations of open string - closed string couplings. We outline how our procedure can be used to obtain operators in the noncommutative theory which are holographically dual to supergravity modes.
