description: Motivated by recent interest in novel spintronics effects, we develop a semiclassical theory of spin transport that is valid for spin-orbit coupled bands. Aside from the obvious convective term in which the average spin is transported at the wavepacket group velocity, the spin current has additional contributions from the wavepacket's spin and torque dipole moments. Electric field corrections to the group velocity and carrier spin contribute to the convective term. Summing all terms we obtain an expression for the intrinsic spin-Hall conductivity of a hole-doped semiconductor, which agrees with the Kubo formula prediction for the same quantity. We discuss the calculation of spin accumulation, which illustrates the importance of the torque dipole near the boundary of the system.

Carbon-Deficient Red Giants
Creators: name: Bond, Howard E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Carbon-deficient red giants (CDRGs) are a rare class of peculiar red giants, also called "weak G-band" or "weak-CH" stars. Their atmospheric compositions show depleted carbon, a low 12C/13C isotopic ratio, and an overabundance of nitrogen, indicating that the material at the surface has undergone CN-cycle hydrogen-burning. I present Stromgren uvby photometry of nearly all known CDRGs. Barium stars, having an enhanced carbon abundance, exhibit the "Bond-Neff effect"--a broad depression in their energy distributions at ~4000 A, recently confirmed to be due to the CH molecule. This gives Ba II stars unusually low Stromgren c1 photometric indices. I show that CDRGs, lacking CH absorption, exhibit an "anti-Bond-Neff effect": higher c1 indices than normal red giants. Using precise parallaxes from Gaia DR2, I plot CDRGs in the color-magnitude diagram (CMD) and compare them with theoretical evolution tracks. Most CDRGs lie in a fairly tight clump in the CMD, indicating initial masses in the range ~2 to 3.5 Msun, if they have evolved as single stars. It is unclear whether they are stars that have just reached the base of the red-giant branch and the first dredge-up of CN-processed material, or are more highly evolved helium-burning stars in the red-giant clump. About 10% of CDRGs have higher masses of ~4 to 4.5 Msun, and exhibit unusually high rotational velocities. I show that CDRGs lie at systematically larger distances from the Galactic plane than normal giants, possibly indicating a role of binary mass-transfer and mergers. CDRGs continue to present a major puzzle for our understanding of stellar evolution.

A Review of Pure Oxygen Generation and Alternative Oxidants for Wet Oxidation of Fecal Sludge for Novel Sanitation Technologies

Publisher: name: Gates Open Research
Year: 2019

description: Advanced oxidation technologies have great potential for the effective treatment of fecal wastes, septage, and other sanitation wastes. However, they all rely on the provision of an oxidant, which serves as final electron acceptor for those electrons released from the oxidation of the electron-rich organic molecules that make up the fecal waste. In many cases, this oxidant is oxygen from air. For treatment process that operate under pressure, as is the case in supercritical water oxidation systems and other wet oxidation systems, compressing air which contains roughly 80% (inert) nitrogen can be very energy intensive and expensive.

This literature review summarizes currently available information about oxidant alternatives to compressed air for use in supercritical water and wet oxidation systems for fecal sludge treatment. These alternatives included oxygen enrichment techniques (to avoid compressing inert nitrogen) such as pressure swing adsorption and membrane separation, or using liquid oxygen, reactive oxygen species, electrolysis, and chemical looping combustion. Complexity, energy requirements, cost, and safety were discussed for each technology. Prominent commercial players and research in progress were identified. When possible, costs were estimated.

Of all the alternatives examined, provision of liquid oxygen, vacuum-pressure swing adsorption (VPSA), and vacuum swing adsorption VSA to produce enriched or pure oxygen have the potential to be competitive with air compression. Safety concerns and materials compatibility have to be addressed with all enriched oxygen systems beyond a certain threshold oxygen concentration. Also, energy recovery from the expansion of exhaust gases has the potential to decrease the energy costs associated with air compression.

The following recommendations are made for further investigations:
 Conduct further evaluation of air separation system utilizing VPSA and VSA. In particular document costs and sweet spots for costs, system reliability, maintenance costs, requirement for consumables and how to best integrate these alternatives with advanced oxidations such as supercritical water oxidation systems and wet oxidation. The recommended study is a paper study that could take about 3-6 months. Develop and demonstrate a high pressure electrolyzer that generate hydrogen peroxide and other reactive species and O2 directly at elevated pressure, evaluate its efficacy, and how it could be best integrated with advanced oxidations such as supercritical water or wet oxidation systems. This recommended study is a laboratory study that could take about 9-12 months. It could lead to new IP.
The learning from these recommended activities is expected to benefit several projects in the WASH portfolio of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

description: With funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation as part of the Reinvent the Toilet Challenge, Cascade Designs’ Mountain Safety Research (MSR) division collaborated with Colorado State University (CSU), Duke University, and Biomass Controls LLC, to develop a microburner for powdered human feces. The goal of this project was to design, fabricate, and evaluate a 100 watt biomass dust combustor for use with an idealized simulant fuel, then use the lessons learned to assess the technical feasibility of this microburner for combusting powdered fecal matter. During the course of the project, a 100 W microburner was initially developed for the simulant fuel lycopodium, which was then modified for burning fecal powder. The design and performance data of the microburner when evaluated using powdered feces was used to create a series of recommendations on what technical challenges must be overcome to transition this burner concept to a commercial product.

description: The first full year of operation following the commissioning year of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey has revealed a wide variety of newly discovered cataclysmic variables. We show the SDSS spectra of forty-two cataclysmic variables observed in 2002, of which thirty-five are new classifications, four are known dwarf novae (CT Hya, RZ Leo, T Leo and BZ UMa), one is a known CV identified from a previous quasar survey (Aqr1) and two are known ROSAT or FIRST discovered CVs (RX J09445+0357, FIRST J102347.6+003841). The SDSS positions, colors and spectra of all forty-two systems are presented. In addition, the results of follow-up studies of several of these objects identify the orbital periods, velocity curves and polarization that provide the system geometry and accretion properties. While most of the SDSS discovered systems are faint (>18th mag) with low accretion rates (as implied from their spectral characteristics), there are also a few bright objects which may have escaped previous surveys due to changes in the mass transfer rate.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Phase space structures causing the reaction rate decrease in the collinear hydrogen exchange reaction

description: The collinear hydrogen exchange reaction is a paradigm system for understanding chemical reactions. It is the simplest imaginable atomic system with $2$ degrees of freedom modeling a chemical reaction, yet it exhibits behaviour that is still not well understood - the reaction rate decreases as a function of energy beyond a critical value. Using lobe dynamics we show how invariant manifolds of unstable periodic orbits guide trajectories in phase space. From the structure of the invariant manifolds we deduce that insufficient transfer of energy between the degrees of freedom causes a reaction rate decrease. In physical terms this corresponds to the free hydrogen atom repelling the whole molecule instead of only one atom from the molecule. We further derive upper and lower bounds of the reaction rate, which are desirable for practical reasons.

description: This report evaluates various technologies for converting thermal energy produced by the thermochemical treatment of fecal sludge to electrical energy useful for operation of an Omni Processor or other thermal treatment technology.

Five types of electrical generation technologies were explored for this project; these included: thermoacoustic heat engines, thermoelectric generators, Stirling engines, steam engines, and organic Rankine cycle generators. In order to be included in the review, companies had to have at least one product in one of the selected generation technologies and have a website. Companies were identified through two Google searches; in the first search the technology name was searched (e.g. Stirling engines), in the second search the word manufacturer was added to the string search (e.g. Stirling engine manufacturers). For both searches the top 100 search results were explored.

Across the five electrical generation technologies explored, 32 manufacturers offer a combined 65 products. Each product was examined to determine electricity generation potential (in kWe), commercial availability and a technology readiness level (TRL). The results of product evaluation are discussed by generation technology. Overall, our assessment is that small scale thermoelectric generators are likely most suitable for small thermal output thermochemical processors, like the Reinvented Toilet. Low-pressure organic Rankine cycle generators are more appropriate choices for medium to large scale Omni Processors.

description: This paper summarizes the work done to show a proof of concept for an in-line sludge dewatering system. First, the design of the system is described, including the selection of materials, devices, and simulated sludge used to test this concept. The different materials and processes considered for each element are described in the System Design section. Once the system was finalized, the performance of the system in removing sludge was carried out and results are described in the Testing section. Finally, based on what was learned during this study, we recommend the next steps in development to take this system closer to an MVP design.

description: We introduce in this paper a field theory on symplectic manifolds that are fibered over a real surface with interior marked points and cylindrical ends. We assign to each such object a morphism between certain tensor products of quantum and Floer homologies that are canonically attached to the fibration. We prove a composition theorem in the spirit of QFT, and show that this field theory applies naturally to the problem of minimising geodesics in Hofer's geometry. This work can be considered as a natural framework that incorporates both the Piunikhin-Salamon-Schwarz morphisms and the Seidel isomorphism.

description: We study by extensive numerical simulations the dynamics of a hard-core tracer particle (TP) in presence of two competing types of disorder - frozen convection flows on a square random Manhattan lattice and a crowded dynamical environment formed by a lattice gas of mobile hard-core particles. The latter perform lattice random walks, constrained by a single-occupancy condition of each lattice site, and are either insensitive to random flows (model A) or choose the jump directions as dictated by the local directionality of bonds of the random Manhattan lattice (model B). We focus on the TP disorder-averaged mean-squared displacement, (which shows a super-diffusive behaviour $\sim t^{4/3}$, $t$ being time, in all the cases studied here), on higher moments of the TP displacement, and on the probability distribution of the TP position $X$ along the $x$-axis. Our analysis evidences that in absence of the lattice gas particles the latter has a Gaussian central part $\sim \exp(- u^2)$, where $u = X/t^{2/3}$, and exhibits slower-than-Gaussian tails $\sim \exp(-|u|^{4/3})$ for sufficiently large $t$ and $u$. Numerical data convincingly demonstrate that in presence of a crowded environment the central Gaussian part and non-Gaussian tails of the distribution persist for both models.

Maceration Technology Landscape
Creators: name: Amul Tevar
name: Rogers, Tate
Publisher: name: Gates Open Research
Year: 2019

description: Maceration technology is commonly used within the wastewater treatment industry, as it reduces the size of the solid waste material present in the wastewater, reducing the risk of clogging or damaging downstream components and increasing the surface area of solid waste to improve processing efficiency. Consequently, many projects funded through “Reinvent the Toilet” — a program in novel wastewater treatment technologies run by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s (BMGF) Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WSH) team — utilize maceration and grinding technologies to process waste before feeding into different processing systems.

While a variety of macerator products are available commercially, some of the WSH projects have stringent performance, power, size, and operability constraints that limit the viability of commercial macerators for use in these systems. The objective of this study, then, is to assess the requirements for macerators within each WSH system and to identify commercial products that can meet those requirements. In cases where the requirements are not met by commercial offerings, we identify those gaps and offer recommendations for further investment in the technology and supply chain.

This study was performed using a combination of “top down” and “bottom up” perspectives. In our “top down” analysis, we solicited information on maceration use and needs from each WSH project and, based on the responses, derived requirements for macerator subsystems. For the “bottom up” analysis, commercially available macerator technologies were surveyed and categorized based on a number of metrics, including capacity, size, power consumption, and application from the US, EU, China and India. Requirements from the “top down” approach were matched to the capabilities defined in the “bottom up” approach to determine if current macerator systems meet the needs of the WSH projects.

The results of this study show that many of the WSH projects can use commercially available macerators to meet most of their needs. However, at least 10 projects have requirements that are not met by commercial products or haven’t yet implemented maceration but are considering it. Three critical gaps were identified that indicate a need for the development of new systems to meet all of the requirements of the WSH teams.

description: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the most flexible and powerful medical imaging modalities. This flexibility does however come at a cost; MRI images acquired at different sites and with different parameters exhibit significant differences in contrast and tissue appearance, resulting in downstream issues when quantifying brain anatomy or the presence of pathology. In this work, we propose to combine multiparametric MRI-based static-equation sequence simulations with segmentation convolutional neural networks (CNN), to make these networks robust to variations in acquisition parameters. Results demonstrate that, when given both the image and their associated physics acquisition parameters, CNNs can produce segmentations that exhibit robustness to acquisition variations. We also show that the proposed physics-informed methods can be used to bridge multi-centre and longitudinal imaging studies where imaging acquisition varies across a site or in time.

Creators: name: Altice, Bridger Kohl
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2024

description: In reaction to rising global temperatures and carbon dioxide emissions, many countries are looking to use energy sources other than fossil fuels. One such source of energy is wind energy, which can be harvested by wind turbines. By rotating at high speeds, the blades of these large turbines are able to convert wind energy to kinetic energy, which is then converted to electricity usable by the power grid. Traditional methods for inspecting these turbines for damages are expensive, unsafe, and susceptible to human error. These turbines are so tall and so large that inspectors run the risk of falling from large heights or being injured by falling turbine debris. It is also difficult to spot every damaged area on a blade so large. A solution to this problem is to have a drone fly up and take pictures of the blades. Afterwards, these pictures can be processed by a machine learning architecture, which is a specific type of AI (artificial intelligence). The AI will then tell the inspectors if damages exist on the blades. Wind turbines are normally turned off during inspection for the safety of the inspectors. If the turbines are left on during the inspection process to save money, the blades will likely be moving, so images of the blades may be blurry. This will make it more difficult for the AI to detect damages. This is why deblurring the images before further processing could be a great way to still have accurate results from the AI with rotating blades. In this study, the health of wind turbine blades is determined using specific machine architectures along with image deblurring techniques and a custom-made image set of wind turbine blades taken with a drone.

description: Integrated Gradients as an attribution method for deep neural network models offers simple implementability. However, it suffers from noisiness of explanations which affects the ease of interpretability. The SmoothGrad technique is proposed to solve the noisiness issue and smoothen the attribution maps of any gradient-based attribution method. In this paper, we present SmoothTaylor as a novel theoretical concept bridging Integrated Gradients and SmoothGrad, from the Taylor's theorem perspective. We apply the methods to the image classification problem, using the ILSVRC2012 ImageNet object recognition dataset, and a couple of pretrained image models to generate attribution maps. These attribution maps are empirically evaluated using quantitative measures for sensitivity and noise level. We further propose adaptive noising to optimize for the noise scale hyperparameter value. From our experiments, we find that the SmoothTaylor approach together with adaptive noising is able to generate better quality saliency maps with lesser noise and higher sensitivity to the relevant points in the input space as compared to Integrated Gradients.

description: In this paper we present a modification of the geometrical optics method, which allows one to properly separate the complex amplitude and the phase of the wave solution. Appling this modification to a smoothly inhomogeneous isotropic medium, we show that in the first geometrical optics approximation the medium is weakly anisotropic. The refractive index, being dependent on the direction of the wave vector, contains the correction, which is proportional to the Berry geometric phase. Two independent eigenmodes of right-hand and left-hand circular polarizations exist in the medium. Their group velocities and phase velocities differ. The difference in the group velocities results in the shift of the rays of different polarizations (the optical Magnus effect). The difference in the phase velocities causes the increase of Berry phase along with the interference of two modes leading to the familiar Rytov law about the rotation of the polarization plane of a wave. The theory developed suggests that both the optical Magnus effect and the Berry phase are accompanying nonlocal topological effects. In this paper the Hamilton ray equations giving a unified description for both of these phenomena have been derived and also a novel splitting effect for a ray of noncircular polarization has been predicted. Specific examples are also discussed.

description: Medicamentos são um dos principais impulsionadores da judicialização à saúde no Brasil. Gastos do Ministério da Saúde com o atendimento dessas demandas judiciais somaram R$ 1,78 bilhões em 2021. Demandas judiciais por medicamentos também têm crescido, em número e em valores, nos estados e municípios. Parte importante dessas demandas judiciais está relacionada medicamentos de alto custo (MAC). Em outros países, esta categoria de medicamentos é definida, muitas vezes, de forma indireta, em função dos custos diretos associados à sua aquisição e utilização, de seu status patentário e seu tempo de entrada no mercado.Não existe uma definição uniforme e precisa sobre o significado do termo medicamentos de alto custo na literatura sobre judicialização no país. Essa imprecisão conceitual impede uma visão mais clara da importância desse grupo no cenário da judicialização de medicamentos no Brasil, seja em termos de sua representatividade, seja em termos de características específicas do processo.

Objetivos: 

Identificar as definições e compreensões existentes sobre medicamentos de alto custo na produção científica e acadêmicabrasileira relacionada à judicialização de medicamentos, de sorte a contribuir para a conceituação dessa categoria de medicamentos.

description: Functions which are covariant or invariant under the transformations of a compact linear group $G$ acting in a euclidean space $\real^n$, can be profitably studied as functions defined in the orbit space of the group. The orbit space is the union of a finite set of strata, which are semialgebraic manifolds formed by the $G$-orbits with the same symmetry. In this paper we provide a simple recipe to obtain rational parametrizations of the strata. Our results can be easily exploited, in many physical contexts where the study of covariant or invariant functions is important, for instance in the determination of patterns of spontaneous symmetry breaking, in the analysis of phase spaces and structural phase transitions (Landau's theory), in covariant bifurcation theory, in crystal field theory and in most areas of solid state theory where use is made of symmetry adapted functions. An example of utilization of the recipe is also discussed at the end of the paper.

description: While guidelines exist to limit the density of Helminth ova in various environmental matrices, there are not enough qualified technicians for the task of visual identification using conventional microscopy across all regions with need. Thanks to the support and funding of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Treatment and Reuse Group of the Institute of Engineering (II-UNAM) developed the HEAD AI to automatically identify and quantify different species of Helminth using digital images. After three unsuccessful digital imaging prototypes, the team from II-UNAM was introduced to the team from Alexapath (NYU Tandon Future Labs) experts in the field of digital microscopy. The team from Alexapath, with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Duke University’s Center for WaSH-AID, donated an AiDA microscope (Artificial Intelligence Diagnostic Assistant) for testing in the lab of Dr. Tony Barrios at II-UNAM. AiDA was used to acquire mobile Whole Slide Images (mWSIs) of various concentrations of Helminth ova specimens contained in Sedgewick rafters. The images were then analyzed by the HEAD preclassification program in order to verify that illuminance, contrast and blurriness met the established threshold values. The testing validated that the AiDA system can produce digital images that meet the benchmarks needed for successful analysis by HEAD. Leading to an opportunity to being field testing a system made up of the AiDA microscope with the HEAD Ai as a solution for automatic analysis of water specimens to determine content of Helminth ova.

description: We combine MUSE spectroscopy and Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet (UV) photometry to perform a study of the chemistry and dynamics of the Galactic globular cluster Messier 80 (M80, NGC 6093). Previous studies have revealed three stellar populations that not only vary in their light-element abundances, but also in their radial distributions, with concentration decreasing with increasing nitrogen enrichment. This remarkable trend, which sets M80 apart from the other Galactic globular clusters, points towards a complex formation and evolutionary history. To better understand how M80 formed and evolved, revealing its internal kinematics is key. We find that the most N-enriched population rotates faster than the other two populations at a 2 sigma confidence level. While our data further suggest that the intermediate population shows the least amount of rotation, this trend is rather marginal (1 - 2 sigma). Using axisymmetric Jeans models, we show that these findings can be explained from the radial distributions of the populations if they possess different angular momenta. Our findings suggest that the populations formed with primordial kinematical differences.

description: Este trabajo tiene por objeto sustentar la siguiente tesis: al menos durante el periodo inmediatamente anterior de la entrada en vigencia de la Ley N° 20.084, es decir, durante el año 2006, las mujeres adolescentes de nuestro país habrían cometido menos delitos que los hombres, de menor gravedad, presentando al parecer además una mejor inserción en el sistema escolar. Sin embargo, a la luz de estos mismos datos, habrían sido perseguidas penalmente con mayor intensidad que los adolescentes varones, lo que eventualmente sería contrario a la normativa de derechos humanos e incoherente con sus características criminológicas. A partir de esta reflexión en torno a las posibles explicaciones de estos datos, se pretende generar espacios de discusión acerca de lo que estaría sucediendo con las mujeres adolescentes en el ámbito del sistema penal intentando visualizar sus particularidades. Para ello, primero se desarrollará el marco normativo dentro del cual debe ajustarse cualquier política pública criminal o de seguridad ciudadana con enfoque de género. En la segunda parte se entrega un análisis estadístico descriptivo comparativo entre hombres y mujeres, basado en la información de la base de datos de aprehensiones de Carabineros del periodo 1995-2006 y los datos de ingresos a SENAME y Gendarmería de Chile del año 2006.

Material examined SAM-A28027, UCT Ecol. Surv., St. CPR 48, Pringle Bay, 27.xii.1959, 1 spec.
Description
Specimen minute, previously dissected, posterior end and most internal organs lost. Length 6 mm. Colour uniformly white. Tentacles 12, under-developed, with 3-4 pairs of digitations (Figure 19F), no unpaired terminal digit; sensory cups and eyes not detected. Radial plates of calcareous ring (Figure 19G) perforated for passage of radial nerve. Ciliary funnels in clusters (Figure 19E).
Anterior anchors (Figure 19D) 125-170 µm (mean 159 µm), arms with 3-5 teeth, vertex smooth, slightly concave, shaft posteriorly narrow, stock finely toothed; anterior anchor plates (Figure 19D) 110-125 µm (mean 119 µm) with seven large, toothed holes and several other holes at narrow end. Posterior anchors (Figure 19B) 135-185 µm (mean 171 µm), arms with 3-5 teeth, vertex smooth, stock finely toothed; posterior anchor plates (Figure 19A) 125-138 µm (mean 133 µm), usually with seven large toothed holes and fewer holes posterior to this, with some larger ones also toothed. Radial muscle deposits absent. Tentacles with slightly curved rods (Figure 19C), 50-70 µm (mean 63 µm), with irregular margins and branched and/or digitated ends, usually perforated with a single hole.
Distribution South-west WCP.
Habitat Roots of algae, at low tide.
Remarks
 Although the dimensions of the body wall spicules of the specimen fall close to those of its congenor L. knysnaensis (Cherbonnier, 1952), its tentacle spicules and clustered ciliary funnels are reminiscent of those of L. ancoracuta Cherbonnier, 1954 from Simon’s Bay, a species relegated to the synonymy of L. knysnaensis by Thandar and Rowe (1989). This view that can no longer be upheld and hence L. ancoracuta is here resurrected from this synonymy.
