Évaluation probabiliste du risque d’inondation dans les zones urbaines protégées par des digues
Creators: name: Mainguenaud, Florence
Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2024

description: Une amélioration du système d’évaluation du risque d’inondation peut s’articuler autour de 2 éléments : (i) l’évaluation de la fiabilité des digues en considérant les multiples mécanismes de rupture potentiels, et (ii) la considération de multiples scénarios de brèches dans les digues. Les mécanismes de défaillance de surverse et d’érosion régressive sont considérés, prenant en compte la variabilité des propriétés géotechniques, pour plusieurs intensités de crues. La méthode proposée se base sur des simulations pour aboutir aux courbes de fragilité des digues. Des simulations hydrauliques reproduisant de multiples scénarios d’inondation et de rupture de digue permettent par une analyse statistique et probabiliste des paramètres d’inondation (profondeur d’eau et vitesse du flux) de générer une représentation spatialisée et probabilisée de l’aléa d’inondation. Les cartes d’inondation permettent l’évaluation de la probabilité d’occurrence de l’inondation et leur combinaison résulte en une représentation probabiliste de l’aléa d’inondation où, pour chaque point de la zone protégée, la distribution probabiliste des paramètres de l’inondation est obtenue. Le risque d’inondation pourra alors être évalué en combinant l’aléa inondation, les enjeux exposés à l’inondation et leur niveau de vulnérabilité.

description: Combining laser spectroscopy in a Versatile Arc Discharge and Laser Ion Source, with Penning-trap mass spectrometry at the CERN-ISOLDE facility, this work reports on mean-square charge radii of neutron-rich mercury isotopes across the $N = 126$ shell closure, the electromagnetic moments of $^{207}$Hg and more precise mass values of $^{206-208}$Hg. The odd-even staggering (OES) of the mean square charge radii and the kink at $N = 126$ are analyzed within the framework of covariant density functional theory (CDFT), with comparisons between different functionals to investigate the dependence of the results on the underlying single-particle structure. The observed features are defined predominantly in the particle-hole channel in CDFT, since both are present in the calculations without pairing. However, the magnitude of the kink is still affected by the occupation of the $1i_{11/2}$ and $2g_{9/2}$ orbitals with a dependence on the relative energies as well as pairing.

description: Open educational resources (OER) are â€œhigh-quality, openly licensed, online educational materials that offer an extraordinary opportunity for people everywhere to share, use, and reuse knowledgeâ€ (William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, n.d.). These materials range from full courses and course materials (including textbooks) to streaming videos and software.

Innovative educators recognize that OER offer an exciting alternative to restrictive (and expensive) textbooks by allowing them the freedom to select quality content that better fits their pedagogy. Students benefit from more engaged learning, lower costs, and the ability to revise and remix these materials as assigned by their instructor. The virtual sky is the limit!

The 4-VA Collaborative at George Mason University recently announced a competitive grants pilot program (February, 2016) to incentivize Mason instructional faculty to identify existing, or create new, open digital content and incorporate it into their course(s). The proposed interactive presentation session will build on the Mason 4-VA pilot program. A team of four faculty members from Mason and J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College will lead the session. Discussion topics to be covered include defining OER, describing Creative Commons licenses, strategies for integrating OER in courses, and identifying quality materials. Participants should bring a laptop as they will be divided into small groups during the session to familiarize themselves with websites that aggregate OER content applicable to their discipline(s).

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
• Define OER,
• Understand Creative Commons licenses,
• Outline the first steps in planning an OER project, and
• Identify some online sources for discipline-specific OER.

We anticipate that OER collaborations will emerge from this session.

description: Out of nine known stable Mars Trojans, seven appear to be members of an orbital grouping including the largest Trojan, Eureka. In order to test if this could be a genetic family, we simulated the long term evolution of a tight orbital cluster centered on Eureka. We explored two cases: cluster dispersal through planetary gravity alone over 1 Gyr, and a 1 Gyr evolution due to both gravity and the Yarkovsky effect. We find that the dispersal of the cluster in eccentricity is primarily due to dynamical chaos, while the inclinations and libration amplitudes are primarily changed by the Yarkovsky effect. Current distribution of the cluster members orbits are indicative of an initially tight orbital grouping that was affected by a negative acceleration (i.e. one against the orbital motion) consistent with the thermal Yarkovsky effect. We conclude that the cluster is a genetic family formed either in a collision or through multiple rotational fissions. The cluster's age is on the order of 1 Gyr, and its long-term orbital evolution is likely dominated by the seasonal, rather than diurnal, Yarkovsky effect. If confirmed, Gyr-scale dominance of the seasonal Yarkovsky effect may indicate suppression of the diurnal Yarkovsky drift by the related YORP effect. Further study of Mars Trojans is essential for understanding the long-term orbital and rotational dynamics of small bodies in the absence of frequent collisions.

description: This research is based on the near future for pervasive technologies in social practices and work context, fixing its pillars on a controversial debate related to the innovation acceptance under the light of the 4th industrial revolution. The recent Covid-19 pandemic would shape the line of a new work environment, never experienced before with this wide spread: smart working. The authors would try to clarify at theoretical level the role of knowledge in innovation and evolution of civil society based on needs and problem-solving. The objective to shape a theoretical dorsal in which intersect empirical analysis (survey-based) on real smart-working experiences, would be strictly related to urgency conditions (as acceptance facilitator), due to the considerable one of the widest “social phenomenon” observable (Covid-19). In this sense, the authors make possible to investigate the relations between need, knowledge, urgency and smart-working acceptance among public sector teachers in Italy.

description: Let M be a connected d-dimensional complex projective manifold, and let A be a holomorphic positive Hermitian line bundle on M, with normalized curvature. Let G be a compact and connected Lie group of dimension d(G), and let T be a compact torus T of dimension d(T). Suppose that both G and T act on M in a holomorphic and Hamiltonian manner, that the actions commute, and linearize to A. If X is the principal circle-bundle associated to A, then this set-up determines commuting unitary representations of G and T on the Hardy space H(X) of X, which may then be decomposed over the irreducible representations of the two groups. If the moment map for the T-action is nowhere zero, all isotypical components for the torus are finite-dimensional, and thus provide a collection of finite-dimensional G-modules. Given a non-zero integral weight n(T) for T, we consider the isotypical components associated to the multiples kn(T), k that goes to infinity, and focus on how their structure as G-modules is reflected by certain local scaling asymptotics on X (and M). More precisely, given a fixed irreducible character n(G) of G, we study the local scaling asymptotics of the equivariant Szegő projectors associated to n(G) and kn(T), for k that goes to infinity, investigating their asymptotic concentration along certain loci defined by the moment maps.

description: Le laitier de haut fourneau (BFS), un sous-produit du processus de fabrication de l'acier, peut être utilisé comme addition minérale dans les ciments mélangés. Outre la réduction des émissions de CO2 dans le domaine de la construction, l'utilisation du BFS dans les matériaux cimentaires contribue à améliorer leurs propriétés mécaniques et leur durabilité. Malgré de nombreuses études sur les propriétés d'hydratation des ciments mélangés avec le BFS, certains aspects, tels que l'influence du taux de substitution du laitier sur la cinétique d'hydratation, la stœchiométrie des hydrates formés et leurs impacts sur les propriétés microstructurales et mécaniques restent mal compris. Cette étude vise à comprendre comment le ciment mélangé avec le BFS s'hydrate en utilisant un modèle d’hydratation intégrant cinétique et réactions chimiques. Les données d'entrée requises sont les paramètres de formulation (rapport eau/liant, taux de substitution du clinker par le laitier) et le type de cure. Le modèle reproduit bien les résultats expérimentaux tels que le degré d’hydratation, les quantités d’hydrates ainsi que la densité pour les mélanges formulés avec différentes proportions de laitier.

Des essais expérimentaux hygro-thermiques ont été réalisés sur les fibres de lin seules, la terre crue seule et les matériaux composites terre crue-fibres de lin. Les résultats montrent que la conductivité thermique et la capacité thermique des fibres de lin augmentent avec la densité et la teneur en humidité. De plus, quel que soit la densité et l'arrangement des fibres, des relations linéaires ont été trouvées pour la conductivité thermique, la capacité thermique et la perméabilité à la vapeur en fonction de la teneur en eau et la densité respectivement. De plus, l'ajout de fibres de lin a amélioré les propriétés hygrothermiques du matériau composite à base de terre crue.

description: Understanding the electrical and thermal transport properties of materials is critical to the design of electronics, sensors and energy conversion devices. Computational modeling can accurately predict materials properties but, in order to be reliable, require accurate descriptions of electron and phonon states and their interactions. While first-principles methods are capable of describing the energy spectrum of each carrier, using them to compute transport properties is still a formidable task, both computationally demanding and memory intensive, requiring integration of fine microscopic scattering details for estimation of macroscopic transport properties. To address this challenge, we present Phoebe - a newly developed software package that includes the effects of electron-phonon, phonon-phonon, boundary, and isotope scattering in computations of electrical and thermal transport properties of materials with a variety of available methods and approximations. This open source C++ code combines MPI-OpenMP hybrid parallelization with GPU acceleration and distributed memory structures to manage computational cost, allowing Phoebe to effectively take advantage of contemporary computing infrastructures. We demonstrate that Phoebe accurately and efficiently predicts a wide range of transport properties, opening avenues for accelerated computational analysis of complex crystals.

description: (abridged) We identify 3 Kepler transiting planets, Kepler-7b, Kepler-12b, and Kepler-41b, whose orbital phase-folded light curves are dominated by planetary atmospheric processes including thermal emission and reflected light, while the impact of non-atmospheric (i.e. gravitational) processes, including beaming (Doppler boosting) and tidal ellipsoidal distortion, is negligible. Therefore, those systems allow a direct view of their atmospheres without being hampered by the approximations used in the inclusion of both atmospheric and non-atmospheric processes when modeling the phase curve shape. Here we analyze Kepler-12b and Kepler-41b atmosphere based on their Kepler phase curve, while the analysis of Kepler-7b was presented elsewhere. The model we used efficiently computes reflection and thermal emission contributions to the phase curve, including inhomogeneous atmospheric reflection due to longitudinally varying cloud coverage. We confirm Kepler-12b and Kepler-41b show a westward phase shift between the brightest region on the planetary surface and the substellar point, similar to Kepler-7b. We find that reflective clouds located on the west side of the substellar point can explain the phase shift. The existence of inhomogeneous atmospheric reflection in all 3 of our targets, selected due to their atmosphere-dominated Kepler phase curve, suggests this phenomenon is common. Therefore it is likely to be present also in planetary phase curves that do not allow a direct view of the planetary atmosphere as they contain additional orbital processes. We discuss the implications of a bright-spot shift on the analysis of phase curves where both atmospheric and gravitational processes appear. We also discuss the potential detection of non-transiting but otherwise similar planets, whose mass is too small to show a gravitational photometric signal but their atmospheric signal is detectable.

description: La fin de la durée de vie prévue pour de nombreuses constructions en béton armé érigées entre 1950 et 1970 ainsi que la problématique majeure de l'empreinte carbone des nouvelles constructions impose aujourd'hui aux techniques de maintenance et de réhabilitation une performance et une durabilité accrues. Face aux défis posés par la corrosion, la maintenance électrochimique s’impose comme la seule stratégie viable pour prévenir les défaillances structurelles. Cependant, malgré son potentiel, des points essentiels lié la durabilité de ces systèmes de maintenance restent encore dans l’ombre. Cette étude fournit une analyse approfondie des phénomènes de distribution des lignes de courant dans le béton. La répartition 3D obtenus montre qu'une approche physique globale est nécessaire à l'optimisation de ces techniques électrochimiques. Les aspects évolutifs des mécanismes se produisant aux interfaces électrochimiques sont également étudiés. Une augmentation significative de la résistance de polarisation a été ainsi constatée, à l’interface anodique et cathodique, atteignant 40 % dans certains cas, sans aucune altération de la matrice cimentaire (pas d'acidification ou dégradation).

title: Theatre and Integration Politics in France 1999-2011
Creators: name: Shapiro, Rachel
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2013

description: Despite the fact that theatre practitioners have been increasingly involved in the implementation of French integration politics since the late 1990s, the subject has received relatively little attention within the scholarly world. Methodologically rooted in the sociology of the theatre, this thesis seeks to address this oversight by proposing a dedicated study of theatre practice taking place in the context of French integration politics since 1999. This analysis situates the multiform conceptual, socio-historical and symbolic difficulties that underlie in France’s ‘public politics of integration’ within the urban theatrical landscape of Paris Ile-de-France. Focussing on works produced within this context by Hervé Breuil’s Lavoir Moderne Parisien, Cie Graines de Soleil, the Cité Nationale de l’Histoire de l’Immigration and Mohamed Rouabhi, this research posits a three-pronged approach to exploring the difficulties bound up with integration in theatrical contexts. First, it proposes a socio-historical analysis of theatre’s emergence within the framework of governmental integration initiatives, throwing into relief the key contextual and ideological factors that shaped its inclusion within this rubric. Second, it unearths the material and symbolic threads linking theatre practice to French integration policy, using France’s Politique de la Ville and the CNHI as key transversal axes. Finally, it unearths the ways in which the social and semiotic landscape engendered by French integration politics has shaped the thematic and stylistic content of works created by practitioners in this context.
Approche couplée nanoindentation-imagerie pour la quantification des phases et la prédiction du fluage des matériaux cimentaires

Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2024

description: La nanoindentation statistique se présente comme une technique puissante et rapide pour l’étude des propriétés micromécaniques des pâtes cimentaires hétérogènes à l’échelle micrométrique. Cependant, la classification des phases constituant la pâte, généralement effectuée par le biais d’algorithmes numériques sur la base d’informations mécaniques obtenues, peut donner lieu à des classes composées de mélanges de phases ayant des propriétés mécaniques proches. Dans cette étude, une nouvelle approche de déconvolution appelée Auto-NI-MEB, couplant les résultats de nanoindentation NI aux analyses des images de microscope à balayage MEB des zones indentées, est développée. Ses résultats sont ensuite comparés à ceux de la déconvolution statistique classique du modèle de mélange gaussien GMM. Les avantages de l’approche Auto-NI-MEB par rapport à GMM sont présentés, notamment à travers l’identification de certaines phases mineures, la réduction d’erreur sur le calcul du module de fluage des phases, et l’évaluation plus précise de la teneur en portlandite validée par des mesures thermogravimétriques. L’approche a été ensuite utilisée afin de prédire les propriétés viscoélastiques à l’échelle des pâtes à travers un modèle d’homogénéisation analytique, ouvrant ainsi la voie vers une meilleure prédiction du fluage notamment des bétons bas carbone.

description: Nucleic acids physical properties have been investigated by theoretical methods based both on fully atomistic representations and on coarse grained models, e.g. the worm-like-chain, taken from polymer physics. In this article, I present an intermediate (mesoscopic) approach and show how to build a three dimensional Hamiltonian model which accounts for the main interactions responsible for the stability of the helical molecules. While the 3D mesoscopic model yields a sufficiently detailed description of the helix at the level of the base pair, it also allows one to predict the thermodynamical and structural properties of molecules in solution. Relying on the idea that the base pair fluctuations can be conceived as trajectories, I have built a computational method based on the time dependent path integral formalism to derive the partition function. While the main features of the method are presented, I focus here in particular on a newly developed statistical method to set the maximum amplitude of the base pair fluctuations, a key parameter of the theory. Some applications to the calculation of DNA flexibility properties are discussed together with the available experimental data.

Suivi diélectrique de l’hydratation d’une pâte de ciment : une approche multidisciplinaire
Creators: name: Ait Hamadouche, Sofiane

Year: 2024

description: Les mesures diélectriques sont un bon candidat pour le suivi non destructif de l’hydratation des matériaux cimentaires. Dans le cadre d’une application in-situ de ces méthodes il est nécessaire de : (i) comprendre les processus à l’origine de la réponse diélectrique de la matrice cimentaire lors de l’hydratation (ii) passager à l’échelle de l’application sur des structures en béton et (iii) le développement de méthodes expérimentales adaptées. Ce travail est focalisé sur le point (i), avec une approche multidisciplinaire combinant modélisation (en dynamique moléculaire, micromécanique et modélisation thermodynamique) et expérimentations (mesures diélectriques et calorimétriques sur pâte de ciment). Expérimentalement, le but est de corréler la permittivité diélectrique εr(f,t) au degré d’hydratation α(t). Plusieurs fréquences f sont testés entre 100 MHz et 3 GHz. Une corrélation plus directe est obtenue à partir de 600 MHz entre εr(t) et α(t). En termes de modélisation, le but est de modéliser εr(α). Une stratégie de modélisation multi-échelle est proposée où des résultats à l’échelle moléculaire sont utilisés comme données d’entrée dans une approche micromécanique tenant compte de la composition du matériau. Enfin, le modèle est comparé aux résultats expérimentaux à 800 MHz. Il donne des résultats satisfaisant avec 10,1% d’erreur moyenne par rapport aux données expérimentales.

description: Dans le contexte du vieillissement des structures massives en béton, comme les enceintes de confinement des centrales nucléaires ou les barrages hydro-électrique, l’étude de la durabilité des matériaux cimentaires est d’un grand intérêt. En particulier, la Réaction Alcali-Silice (RAS) peut réduire la durabilité des structures. Le mécanisme de réaction se décrit en 4 étapes : transport des ions, dissolution de la silice réactive, précipitation des produits de réaction et gonflement causant la fissuration du système. Un modèle de transport réactif à l’échelle mésoscopique est proposé afin de simuler la dissolution progressive des granulats et la précipitation des gels en fonction des caractéristiques du granulat. Les résultats retrouvent les observations de la littérature où le gel d’alcali-silice se forme à cœur de granulat alors qu’un C-S-H au ratio Ca/Si faible se forme à l’interface entre la pâte et le granulat. Deux études paramétriques montrent la capacité du modèle à simuler les effets de taille du granulat ainsi que l’influence des paramètres diffusifs sur le type de produits formés.

description: We show that the Siegel upper half space $Σ_{d}$ is identified with the Marsden-Weinstein quotient obtained by symplectic reduction of the cotangent bundle $T^{*}\mathbb{R}^{2d^{2}}$ with $\mathsf{O}(2d)$-symmetry. The reduced symplectic form on $Σ_{d}$ corresponding to the standard symplectic form on $T^{*}\mathbb{R}^{2d^{2}}$ turns out to be a constant multiple of the symplectic form on $Σ_{d}$ obtained by Siegel. Our motivation is to understand the geometry behind two different formulations of the Gaussian wave packet dynamics commonly used in semiclassical mechanics. Specifically, we show that the two formulations are related via the symplectic reduction.

description: We consider optimizations of Lenoir heat engine within a quantum dynamical field consisting of $N$ noninteracting fermions trapped in multilevel infinite potential square-well. Fermions play role as working substance of the engine with each particle nested at different level of energy. We optimized this quantum heat engine model by analysing the physical parameter and deriving the optimum properties of the engine model. The model we investigated consists of one high-energy heat bath and one low-energy sink bath. Heat leakage occurs between these two bathes as expected will degenerate the efficiency of quantum heat engine model. The degeneration increased as we raised the constant parameter of heat leakage. We also obtained loop curves in dimensionless power vs. efficiency of the engine, which efficiency is explicitly affected by heat leakage, but in contrast for the power output. From the curves, we assured that the efficiency of the engine would go back to zero as we raised compression ratio of engine with leakage. Lastly, we checked Clausius relations for each model with various levels of heat leakage. We found that models with leakage have a reversible process on specific compression ratios for each variation of heat leakage. Nevertheless, the compression ratio has limitations because of the $\oint dQ/E>0$ after the reversible point, i.e. violates the Clausius relation.

description: Review of the book “La fabbrica di San Pietro. Il principio della distruzione produttiva“ written by Horst Bredekamp and published by Einaudi.
In 1505, when he was commissioned by Giulio II to create his funeral monument, Michelangelo thought of placing it in the new choir of the basilica of San Pietro, whose construction had been started decades earlier by Niccolò V. At the same time, the pontiff entrusted Bramante with the completion of the same choir. Bramante, however, does not limit himself to fulfilling the task assigned to him: he aspires to transform his task into that of completely rebuilding San Pietro.

description: We use separate universe simulations with the IllustrisTNG galaxy formation model to predict the local PNG bias parameters $b_ϕ$ and $b_{ϕδ}$ of atomic neutral hydrogen, ${\rm H_I}$. These parameters and their relation to the linear density bias parameter $b_1$ play a key role in observational constraints of the local PNG parameter $f_{\rm NL}$ using the ${\rm H_I}$ power spectrum and bispectrum. Our results show that the popular calculation based on the universality of the halo mass function overpredicts the $b_ϕ(b_1)$ and $b_{ϕδ}(b_1)$ relations measured in the simulations. In particular, our results show that at $z \lesssim 1$ the ${\rm H_I}$ power spectrum is more sensitive to $f_{\rm NL}$ compared to previously thought ($b_ϕ$ is more negative), but is less sensitive at other epochs ($b_ϕ$ is less positive). We discuss how this can be explained by the competition of physical effects such as that large-scale gravitational potentials with local PNG (i) accelerate the conversion of hydrogen to heavy elements by star formation, (ii) enhance the effects of baryonic feedback that eject the gas to regions more exposed to ionizing radiation, and (iii) promote the formation of denser structures that shield the ${\rm H_I}$ more efficiently. Our numerical results can be used to revise existing forecast studies on $f_{\rm NL}$ using 21cm line-intensity mapping data. Despite this first step towards predictions for the local PNG bias parameters of ${\rm H_I}$, we emphasize that more work is needed to assess their sensitivity on the assumed galaxy formation physics and ${\rm H_I}$ modeling strategy.

Adsorption compétitive et non compétitive de six métaux sur des fibres de lin locales
Creators: name: Vievard, Juliette
Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2024

description: Au cours des dernières décennies, les activités humaines ont engendré une importante pollution de l’environnement, par de nombreux polluants, tels que les métaux lourds. Pour tenter de diminuer cette pollution, la bio-adsorption (méthode eco-friendly utilisant un adsorbant biosourcé) est désormais très utilisée pour éliminer les polluants des eaux. Dans cette étude, des fibres de lin locales sont utilisées pour dépolluer des eaux de 6 métaux lourds (Cd(II), Cu(II), Hg(II), Ni(II), Pb(II) et Zn(II)), présents à des concentrations de l’ordre du µg/L. Différents paramètres pouvant affecter l’adsorption des métaux ont été étudiés : concentration en adsorbant, concentration initiale en polluant et temps de contact. Des essais batch ont été réalisés avec des solutions contenant un seul métal à la fois (solution mono-élément) et avec les 6 métaux simultanément (solution multi-éléments), afin d’étudier un potentiel effet de compétition. Des modèles cinétiques et des isothermes ont été utilisés pour modéliser le comportement d’adsorption des métaux lourds sur les fibres de lin. Notamment, pour les essais en multi-éléments, le modèle de Langmuir Compétitif a été appliqué pour analyser les données expérimentales obtenues. Dans la gamme des concentrations étudiées (µg/L), les résultats montrent une absence de compétition des métaux lourds pour les sites d’adsorption des fibres de lin.

description: We provide the first combined cosmological analysis of South Pole Telescope (SPT) and Planck cluster catalogs. The aim is to provide an independent calibration for Planck scaling relations, exploiting the cosmological constraining power of the SPT-SZ cluster catalog and its dedicated weak lensing (WL) and X-ray follow-up observations. We build a new version of the Planck cluster likelihood. In the $νΛ$CDM scenario, focusing on the mass slope and mass bias of Planck scaling relations, we find $α_{\text{SZ}} = 1.49_{-0.10}^{+0.07}$ and $(1-b)_{\text{SZ}} = 0.69_{-0.14}^{+0.07}$ respectively. The results for the mass slope show a $\sim 4 \, σ$ departure from the self-similar evolution, $α_{\text{SZ}} \sim 1.8$. This shift is mainly driven by the matter density value preferred by SPT data, $Ω_m = 0.30 \pm 0.03$, lower than the one obtained by Planck data alone, $Ω_m = 0.37_{-0.06}^{+0.02}$. The mass bias constraints are consistent both with outcomes of hydrodynamical simulations and external WL calibrations, $(1-b) \sim 0.8$, and with results required by the Planck cosmic microwave background cosmology, $(1-b) \sim 0.6$. From this analysis, we obtain a new catalog of Planck cluster masses $M_{500}$. We estimate the ratio between the published Planck $M_{\text{SZ}}$ masses and our derived masses $M_{500}$, as a "measured mass bias", $(1-b)_M$. We analyse the mass, redshift and detection noise dependence of $(1-b)_M$, finding an increasing trend towards high redshift and low mass. These results mimic the effect of departure from self-similarity in cluster evolution, showing different dependencies for the low-mass high-mass, low-z high-z regimes.

A Robust Approach to Chance Constrained Optimal Power Flow with Renewable Generation

description: Optimal Power Flow (OPF) dispatches controllable generation at minimum cost subject to operational constraints on generation and transmission assets. The uncertainty and variability of intermittent renewable generation is challenging current deterministic OPF approaches. Recent formulations of OPF use chance constraints to limit the risk from renewable generation uncertainty, however, these new approaches typically assume the probability distributions which characterize the uncertainty and variability are known exactly. We formulate a Robust Chance Constrained (RCC) OPF that accounts for uncertainty in the parameters of these probability distributions by allowing them to be within an uncertainty set. The RCC OPF is solved using a cutting-plane algorithm that scales to large power systems. We demonstrate the RRC OPF on a modified model of the Bonneville Power Administration network, which includes 2209 buses and 176 controllable generators. Deterministic, chance constrained (CC), and RCC OPF formulations are compared using several metrics including cost of generation, area control error, ramping of controllable generators, and occurrence of transmission line overloads as well as the respective computational performance.

description: A function approximation method is developed that aims to approximate a function in a small neighborhood of a state that travels within a compact set. The development is based on the theory of universal reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces over the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space. Several theorems are introduced that support the development of this State Following (StaF) method. In particular, it is shown that there is a bound on the number of kernel functions required for the maintenance of an accurate function approximation as a state moves through a compact set. Additionally, a weight update law, based on gradient descent, is introduced where arbitrarily close accuracy can be achieved provided the weight update law is iterated at a sufficient frequency, as detailed in Theorem 6.1. To illustrate the advantage, the impact of the StaF method is that for some applications the number of basis functions can be reduced. The StaF method is applied to an adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) application to demonstrate that stability is maintained with a reduced number of basis functions. Simulation results demonstrate the utility of the StaF methodology for the maintenance of accurate function approximation as well as solving an infinite horizon optimal regulation problem through ADP. The results of the simulation indicate that fewer basis functions are required to guarantee stability and approximate optimality than are required when a global approximation approach is used.
