description: The exploration of novel architectures requires physics-based simulation due to a lack of prior experience to start from, which introduces two specific challenges for optimization algorithms: evaluations become more expensive (in time) and evaluations might fail. The former challenge is addressed by Surrogate-Based Optimization (SBO) algorithms, in particular Bayesian Optimization (BO) using Gaussian Process (GP) models. An overview is provided of how BO can deal with challenges specific to architecture optimization, such as design variable hierarchy and multiple objectives: specific measures include ensemble infills and a hierarchical sampling algorithm. Evaluations might fail due to non-convergence of underlying solvers or infeasible geometry in certain areas of the design space. Such failed evaluations, also known as hidden constraints, pose a particular challenge to SBO/BO, as the surrogate model cannot be trained on empty results. This work investigates various strategies for satisfying hidden constraints in BO algorithms. Three high-level strategies are identified: rejection of failed points from the training set, replacing failed points based on viable (non-failed) points, and predicting the failure region. Through investigations on a set of test problems including a jet engine architecture optimization problem, it is shown that best performance is achieved with a mixed-discrete GP to predict the Probability of Viability (PoV), and by ensuring selected infill points satisfy some minimum PoV threshold. This strategy is demonstrated by solving a jet engine architecture problem that features at 50% failure rate and could not previously be solved by a BO algorithm. The developed BO algorithm and used test problems are available in the open-source Python library SBArchOpt.

description: We compute the $S$-factor of the proton-proton ($pp$) fusion reaction using chiral effective field theory ($χ$EFT) up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) and perform a rigorous uncertainty analysis of the results. We quantify the uncertainties due to (i) the computational method used to compute the $pp$ cross section in momentum space, (ii) the statistical uncertainties in the low-energy coupling constants of $χ$EFT, (iii) the systematic uncertainty due to the $χ$EFT cutoff, and (iv) systematic variations in the database used to calibrate the nucleon-nucleon interaction. We also examine the robustness of the polynomial extrapolation procedure, which is commonly used to extract the threshold $S$-factor and its energy-derivatives. By performing a statistical analysis of the polynomial fit of the energy-dependent $S$-factor at several different energy intervals, we eliminate a systematic uncertainty that can arise from the choice of the fit interval in our calculations. In addition, we explore the statistical correlations between the $S$-factor and few-nucleon observables such as the binding energies and point-proton radii of $^{2,3}$H and $^3$He as well as the $D$-state probability and quadrupole moment of $^2$H, and the $β$-decay of $^{3}$H. We find that, with the state-of-the-art optimization of the nuclear Hamiltonian, the statistical uncertainty in the threshold $S$-factor cannot be reduced beyond 0.7%.

description: We review recent progress in point contact spectroscopy (PCS) to extract spectroscopic information out of correlated electron materials, with the emphasis on non-superconducting states. PCS has been used to detect bosonic excitations in normal metals, where signatures (e.g. phonons) are usually less than 1$\%$ of the measured conductance. In the superconducting state, point contact Andreev reflection (PCAR) has been widely used to study properties of the superconducting gap in various superconductors. In the last decade, there have been more and more experimental results suggesting that the point contact conductance could reveal new features associated with the unusual single electron dynamics in non-superconducting states, shedding a new light on exploring the nature of the competing phases in correlated materials. We will summarize the theories for point contact spectroscopy developed from different approaches and highlight these conceptual differences distinguishing point contact spectroscopy from tunneling-based probes. Moreover, we will show how the Schwinger-Kadanoff-Baym-Keldysh (SKBK) formalism together with the appropriate modeling of the nano-scale point contacts randomly distributed across the junction leads to the conclusion that the point contact conductance is proportional to the {\it effective density of states}, a physical quantity that can be computed if the electron self energy is known. The experimental data on iron based superconductors and heavy fermion compounds will be analyzed in this framework. These recent developments have extended the applicability of point contact spectroscopy to correlated materials, which will help us achieve a deeper understanding of the single electron dynamics in strongly correlated systems.

description: Calculating strong-field, momentum-resolved photoelectron spectra (PES) from numerical solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) is a very demanding task due to the large spatial excursions and drifts of electrons in intense laser fields. The time-dependent surface flux (t-SURFF) method for the calculation of PES [L. Tao, A. Scrinzi, New Journal of Physics 14, 013021 (2012)] allows to keep the numerical grid much smaller than the space over which the wavefunction would be spread at the end of the laser pulse. We present an implementation of the t-SURFF method in the well established TDSE-solver Qprop [D. Bauer, P. Koval, Comput. Phys. Commun. 174, 396 (2006)]. Qprop efficiently propagates wavefunctions for single-active electron systems with spherically symmetric binding potentials in classical, linearly (along $z$) or elliptically (in the $xy$-plane) polarized laser fields in dipole approximation. Its combination with t-SURFF makes the simulation of PES feasible in cases where it is just too expensive to keep the entire wavefunction on the numerical grid, e.g., in the long-wavelength or long-pulse regime.

description: Voltage-gated sodium (Na$_\mathrm{v}$) channels are responsible for the depolarizing phase of the action potential in most nerve cells, and Na$_\mathrm{v}$ channel localization to the axon initial segment is vital to action potential initiation. Na$_\mathrm{v}$ channels in the soma play a role in the transfer of axonal output information to the rest of the neuron and in synaptic plasticity, although little is known about Na$_\mathrm{v}$ channel localization and dynamics within this neuronal compartment. This study uses single-particle tracking and photoactivation localization microscopy to analyze cell-surface Na$_\mathrm{v}$1.6 within the soma of cultured hippocampal neurons. Mean-square displacement analysis of individual trajectories indicated that half of the somatic Na$_\mathrm{v}$1.6 channels localized to stable nanoclusters $\sim$230 nm in diameter. Strikingly, these domains were stabilized at specific sites on the cell membrane for >30 min, notably via an ankyrin-independent mechanism, indicating that the means by which Na$_\mathrm{v}$1.6 nanoclusters are maintained in the soma is biologically different from axonal localization. Nonclustered Na$_\mathrm{v}$1.6 channels showed anomalous diffusion, as determined by mean-square-displacement analysis. High-density single-particle tracking of Na$_\mathrm{v}$ channels labeled with photoactivatable fluorophores in combination with Bayesian inference analysis was employed to characterize the surface nanoclusters. A subpopulation of mobile Na$_\mathrm{v}$1.6 was observed to be transiently trapped in the nanoclusters. Somatic Na$_\mathrm{v}$1.6 nanoclusters represent a new, to our knowledge, type of Na$_\mathrm{v}$ channel localization, and are hypothesized to be sites of localized channel regulation.

description: The skewness and the kurtosis of the baryon number distributions are computed within QCD-improved low energy effective models including quantum thermal and density fluctuations. The results are compared with the Beam Energy Scan experiment at RHIC. The theoretical results agree with the experimental measurements up to errors, for the collision energy $\sqrt{s}\ge 19.6\,\mathrm{GeV}$. For smaller collision energies a discrepancy between theoretical and experimental results develops. This discrepancy partially relates to the lack of precision of the current setup for small collision energies. It is outlined how this deficiency can be overcome.

description: In the prevailing convergence of traditional infrastructure-based deployment (i.e., Telco and industry operational networks) towards evolving deployments enabled by 5G and virtualization, there is a keen interest in elaborating effective security controls to protect these deployments in-depth. By considering key enabling technologies like 5G and virtualization, evolving networks are democratized, facilitating the establishment of point presences integrating different business models ranging from media, dynamic web content, gaming, and a plethora of IoT use cases. Despite the increasing services provided by evolving networks, many cybercrimes and attacks have been launched in evolving networks to perform malicious activities. Due to the limitations of traditional security artifacts (e.g., firewalls and intrusion detection systems), the research on digital forensic data analytics has attracted more attention. Digital forensic analytics enables people to derive detailed information and comprehensive conclusions from different perspectives of cybercrimes to assist in convicting criminals and preventing future crimes. This chapter presents a digital analytics framework for network anomaly detection, including multi-perspective feature engineering, unsupervised anomaly detection, and comprehensive result correction procedures. Experiments on real-world evolving network data show the effectiveness of the proposed forensic data analytics solution.

description: Collaborative manipulation is inherently multimodal, with haptic communication playing a central role. When performed by humans, it involves back-and-forth force exchanges between the participants through which they resolve possible conflicts and determine their roles. Much of the existing work on collaborative human-robot manipulation assumes that the robot follows the human. But for a robot to match the performance of a human partner it needs to be able to take initiative and lead when appropriate. To achieve such human-like performance, the robot needs to have the ability to (1) determine the intent of the human, (2) clearly express its own intent, and (3) choose its actions so that the dyad reaches consensus. This work proposes a framework for recognizing human intent in collaborative manipulation tasks using force exchanges. Grounded in a dataset collected during a human study, we introduce a set of features that can be computed from the measured signals and report the results of a classifier trained on our collected human-human interaction data. Two metrics are used to evaluate the intent recognizer: overall accuracy and the ability to correctly identify transitions. The proposed recognizer shows robustness against the variations in the partner's actions and the confounding effects due to the variability in grasp forces and dynamic effects of walking. The results demonstrate that the proposed recognizer is well-suited for implementation in a physical interaction control scheme.

description: Loco-manipulation planning skills are pivotal for expanding the utility of robots in everyday environments. These skills can be assessed based on a system's ability to coordinate complex holistic movements and multiple contact interactions when solving different tasks. However, existing approaches have been merely able to shape such behaviors with hand-crafted state machines, densely engineered rewards, or pre-recorded expert demonstrations. Here, we propose a minimally-guided framework that automatically discovers whole-body trajectories jointly with contact schedules for solving general loco-manipulation tasks in pre-modeled environments. The key insight is that multi-modal problems of this nature can be formulated and treated within the context of integrated Task and Motion Planning (TAMP). An effective bilevel search strategy is achieved by incorporating domain-specific rules and adequately combining the strengths of different planning techniques: trajectory optimization and informed graph search coupled with sampling-based planning. We showcase emergent behaviors for a quadrupedal mobile manipulator exploiting both prehensile and non-prehensile interactions to perform real-world tasks such as opening/closing heavy dishwashers and traversing spring-loaded doors. These behaviors are also deployed on the real system using a two-layer whole-body tracking controller.
A New Method for Finding Point Sources in High-energy Neutrino Data

description: The IceCube collaboration has reported the first detection of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos including $\sim 50$ high-energy starting events, but no individual sources have been identified. It is therefore important to develop the most sensitive and efficient possible algorithms to identify point sources of these neutrinos. The most popular current method works by exploring a dense grid of possible directions to individual sources, and identifying the single direction with the maximum probability of having produced multiple detected neutrinos. This method has numerous strengths, but it is computationally intensive and, because it focuses on the single best location for a point source, additional point sources are not included in the evidence. We propose a new maximum likelihood method that uses the angular separations between all pairs of neutrinos in the data. Unlike existing autocorrelation methods for this type of analysis, which also use angular separations between neutrino pairs, our method incorporates information about the point spread function and can identify individual point sources. We find that if the angular resolution is a few degrees or better, then this approach reduces both false positive and false negative errors compared to the current method, and is also more computationally efficient up to, potentially, hundreds of thousands of detected neutrinos.

description: Colloidal nanoplatelets - quasi-two-dimensional sheets of semiconductor exhibiting efficient, spectrally pure fluorescence - form when liquid-phase syntheses of spherical quantum dots are modified. Despite intense interest in their properties, the mechanism behind their anisotropic shape and precise atomic-scale thickness remains unclear, and even counterintuitive when their crystal structure is isotropic. One commonly accepted explanation is that nanoclusters nucleate within molecular templates and then fuse. Here, we test this mechanism for zincblende nanoplatelets and show that they form instead due to an intrinsic instability in growth kinetics. We synthesize CdSe and CdS1-xSex nanoplatelets in template- and solvent-free isotropic melts containing only cadmium carboxylate and chalcogen, a finding incompatible with previous explanations. Our model, based on theoretical results showing enhanced growth on narrow surface facets, rationalizes nanoplatelet formation and experimental dependencies on temperature, time, and carboxylate length. Such understanding should lead to improved syntheses, controlled growth on surfaces, and broader libraries of nanoplatelet materials.

Due to the turbulent nature of the wind and the large variations of the mean wind speed during the day, the rotary elements of the WECS are subjected to significant mechanical stresses and fatigue, resulting in conceivably mechanical failures and higher maintenance costs. Consequently, it is imperative to design a control system capable of handling continuous wind changes. In this work, Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) H_inf controller is used to cope with wind variations and turbulent winds with a turbulence intensity greater than 10%. The proposed controller is designed to regulate the rotational rotor speed and generator torque, thus, regulating the output power via pitch angle manipulations. In addition, a PI-Fuzzy control system is designed to be compared with the proposed control system. The closed-loop simulations of both controllers established the robustness and stability of the suggested LPV controller under large wind velocity variations, with minute power fluctuations compared to the PI-Fuzzy controller. The results show that in the presence of turbulent wind speed variations, the proposed LPV controller achieves improved transient and steady-state performance along with reduced mechanical loads in the above-rated wind speed region.

description: The cubic perovskite SrVO$_3$ is generally considered to be a prototype strongly correlated metal with a characteristic three-peak structure of the $d$-electron spectral function, featuring a renormalized quasiparticle band in between pronounced Hubbard sidebands. Here we show that this interpretation, which has been supported by numerous "ab-initio" simulations, has to be reconsidered. Using a fully self-consistent $GW$+extended dynamical mean-field theory calculation we find that the screening from nonlocal Coulomb interactions substantially reduces the effective local Coulomb repulsion, and at the same time leads to strong plasmonic effects. The resulting effective local interactions are too weak to produce pronounced Hubbard bands in the local spectral function, while prominent plasmon satellites appear at energies which agree with those of the experimentally observed sidebands. Our results demonstrate the important role of nonlocal interactions and dynamical screening in determining the effective interaction strength of correlated compounds.

description: The Advanced LIGO observatory recently reported (Abbott et al., 2016a) the first direct detection of gravitational waves predicted by Einstein (1916). The detection of this event was predicted in 1997 on the basis of the Scenario Machine population synthesis calculations (Lipunov et al., NewA, 2, 43). Now we discuss the parameters of binary black holes and event rates predicted by different scenarios of binary evolution. We give a simple explanation of the big difference between detected black hole masses and the mean black hole masses observed in of X-ray Nova systems. The proximity of the masses of the components of GW150914 is in good agreement with the observed initial mass ratio distribution in massive binary systems, as is used in Scenario Machine calculations for massive binaries.

description: Work-related stress remains the leading cause of sickness absence and ill health among the education sector in the UK. The aim of this study was to explore the headteachers’ of Wales own experiences and perceptions of the prevalence, sources, and solutions to work-related stress.

Using explanatory sequential mixed methods, data was collected in two phases, firstly the prevalence, sources and solutions to work-related stress among headteachers was explored in an online survey sent to all 1588 headteachers in Wales. A total of 359 (22.6%) headteachers completed the survey with two-thirds of participants reporting levels of stress that were considered as ‘high’. Pressures of managing greater demands and increasing workload with fewer financial resources and a lack of support from local authorities were the main sources of stress reported. Solutions focused on improved funding to enhance staffing and resources at a school level, reduced accountability, and improved support. The findings were collated and a draft framework document consisting of nine intervention themes was created.

To consider the feasibility of implementing nine interventions themes in practice, the second phase of the research involved interviews with twenty-nine senior educationalists from a national, regional, local, and school level. As the study period included the COVID-19 pandemic stakeholders’ opinions of the additional impact of the pandemic were also explored. The findings of the interviews were then used to construct an evidence based strategic framework to inform the future development of interventions for reducing work-related stress among headteachers in Wales.

The framework describes a multi-faceted, multi-level, intervention approach, extending beyond improving personal resilience and individual school improvements, into regional and national opportunities for change.

description: We study the quantum tunneling of charged massive vector bosons from a charged static and a rotating black string. We apply the standard methods, first we use the WKB approximation and the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, and then we end up with a set of four linear equations. Finally, solving for the radial part by using the determinant of the metric equals zero, the corresponding tunneling rate and the Hawking temperature is recovered in both cases. The tunneling rate deviates from pure thermality and is consistent with an underlying unitary theory.

description: This chapter presents some results of a survey designed by some of the theme A participants to gain an insight into curriculum reform efforts in different countries internationally. The survey sought to gather information in relation to: • how and why the reform movement came about; • the ideologies underpinning the reform movement; • the aim of the reform movement; • the agents or stakeholders involved in the reform movement; • the impact of the reform on mathematical content, mathematical teaching and mathematical assessment; • the lessons learnt from the reform movement. In total, six research colleagues from different countries (Brazil, Japan, Ireland, Italy, Serbia and South Africa) responded to the survey, ensuring a geographical spread across four continents. Three survey responses were analysed in detail for the purpose of this chapter. The countries selected were Ireland, Serbia and South Africa. These were selected for consideration due to the commonalities in some aspects of the curriculum reform efforts as well as quite unique differences. Many of the responses from these countries also refected, in part, the reactions from the other respondents, and so the authors believed a comprehensive overview could be achieved with this limited sample
