description: We show that classical U(infinity) gauge theories can be obtained from the dimensional reduction of a certain class of higher-derivative theories. In general, the exact symmetry is attained in the limit of degenerate metric; otherwise, the infinite-dimensional symmetry can be taken as spontaneously broken. Monopole solutions are examined in the model for scalar and gauge fields. An extension to gravity is also discussed.

description: In both classical and quantum world, information cannot appear or disappear. This fundamental principle, however, is questioned for a black hole, by the acclaimed "information loss paradox". Based on the conservation laws of energy, charge, and angular momentum, we recently show the total information encoded in the correlations among Hawking radiations equals exactly to the same amount previously considered lost, assuming the non-thermal spectrum of Parikh and Wilczek. Thus the information loss paradox can be falsified through experiments by detecting correlations, for instance, through measuring the covariances of Hawking radiations from black holes, such as the manmade ones speculated to appear in LHC experiments. The affirmation of information conservation in Hawking radiation will shine new light on the unification of gravity with quantum mechanics.

description: We compute the refractive indices of a photon propagating in strong magnetic fields on the basis of the analytic representation of the vacuum polarization tensor obtained in our previous paper. When the external magnetic field is strong enough for the fermion one-loop diagram of the polarization tensor to be approximated by the lowest Landau level, the propagating mode in parallel to the magnetic field is subject to modification: The refractive index deviates from unity and can be very large, and when the photon energy is large enough, the refractive index acquires an imaginary part indicating decay of a photon into a fermion-antifermion pair. We study dependences of the refractive index on the propagating angle and the magnetic-field strength. It is also emphasized that a self-consistent treatment of the equation which defines the refractive index is indispensable for accurate description of the refractive index. This self-consistent treatment physically corresponds to consistently including the effects of back reactions of the distorted Dirac sea in response to the incident photon.

description: We use the high spatial and spectral resolution of the PAWS CO(1-0) survey of the inner 9 kpc of the iconic spiral galaxy M51 to examine the effect of gas streaming motions on the star-forming properties of individual GMCs. We compare our view of gas flows in M51 -- which arise due to departures from axi-symmetry in the gravitational potential (i.e. the nuclear bar and spiral arms) -- with the global pattern of star formation as traced by Halpha and 24μm emission. We find that the dynamical environment of GMCs strongly affects their ability to form stars, in the sense that GMCs situated in regions with large streaming motions can be stabilized, while similarly massive GMCs in regions without streaming go on to efficiently form stars. We argue that this is the result of reduced surface pressure felt by clouds embedded in an ambient medium undergoing large streaming motions, which prevents collapse. Indeed, the variation in gas depletion time expected based on the observed streaming motions throughout the disk of M51 quantitatively agrees with the variation in observed gas depletion time scale. The example of M51 shows that streaming motions, triggered by gravitational instabilities in the form of bars and spiral arms, can alter the star formation law; this can explain the variation in gas depletion time among galaxies with different masses and morphologies. In particular, we can explain the long gas depletion times in spiral galaxies compared to dwarf galaxies and starbursts. We suggest that adding a dynamical pressure term to the canonical free-fall time produces a single star formation law that can be applied to all star-forming regions and galaxies, across cosmic time.

D.4.2 User Engagement Approach

description: Executive Summary The REACT project will demonstrate the potential of Renewable Energy Systems (RES) on geographical islands to bring economic benefits, decarbonise islands’ energy systems, reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and improve environmental air quality. REACT is being piloted in: La Graciosa (Spain), San Pietro (Italy) and Aran Islands (Ireland). Although the deployment of technology will not reach the whole islands, REACT will provide and analyse replication plans to address energy autonomy from the mainland. The REACT solution will also be replicated in five follower islands: Gotland (Sweden), Lesbos (Greece), Isle of Wight (UK), Majorca (Spain), Reunion (France). Within the pilot islands, focus areas have been defined, which are the towns or population centres where the technology will be deployed. These are: Caleta del Sebo in La Graciosa, Carloforte in San Pietro and Kilronan in Inis Mór, part of the Aran Islands. This report outlines the principles of the REACT user engagement approach. This is based on the further analysis we conducted on the REACT survey using generalised linear models, as well as on insights from the literature on experiences of Demand Response (DR) with end-users. Our results show that: - Familiarity with the concepts of the smart grid is low, particularly among people who are older (65 or older); - Familiarity about the SG and DR technologies was closely related to the propensity of people to offer flexibility by being willing to postpone actions on several of their appliances for the most time; - Acceptance of DR technologies is linked with higher levels of education and younger age groups; - Willingness to change thermal comfort practices is driven by higher energy bills and the impact of energy expenses on household budgets. Therefore, to achieve an effective user engagement, the REACT user engagement strategy should: Be appropriate to the island context, sensitive to cultural norms, local language, and the socio- demographic characteristics of the residents; Raise awareness of principles and technologies of DR using simplified methods; Communicate with participants throughout the demonstration phase to build continuity and encourage positive engagement and flexibility; Engage users by highlighting financial, environmental and community benefits of DR for the island communities.
 With respect to DR actions, the REACT platform’s interaction with end-users should: Not disrupt people’s everyday routines more than is necessary; DR actions should be automated to ensure seamless integration into people’s everyday life; Override mechanisms and opt-out options should be designed into the REACT solution to facilitate broader engagement.

description: A uniformly accelerated detector (Unruh detector) in the Minkowski vacuum is excited as if it is exposed to the thermal bath with temperature proportional to its acceleration. In the inertial frame, since both of an excitation and a deexcitation of the detector are accompanied by emission of radiation into the Minkowski vacuum, one may suspect that the Unruh detector emits radiation like the Larmor radiation from an accelerated charged particle. However, it is known that the radiation is miraculously cancelled by a quantum interference effect. In this paper, we investigate under what condition the radiation cancels out. We first show that the cancellation occurs if the Green function satisfies a relation similar to the Kubo-Martin-Schwinger (KMS) condition. We then study two examples, Unruh detectors in the 3+1 dimensional Minkowski spacetime and in the de Sitter spacetime. In both cases, the relation holds only in a restricted region of the spacetime, but the radiation is cancelled in the whole spacetime. Hence the KMS-like relation is necessary but not sufficient for the cancellation to occur.

description: Transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton correlators describing the partonic structure of hadrons contain gauge links, required by color gauge invariance. The required gauge links enter in the matrix elements that contain the parton fields and depend on the color flow in the hard process. The correlators are expanded in terms of transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions, referred to as TMD PDFs, or in short TMDs. In this paper, we introduce gluon TMDs of definite rank, by making an expansion of the TMD gluon correlator with the help of irreducible tensors built from the transverse momenta. The process dependence is isolated in gauge link dependent gluonic pole factors multiplying the TMDs. It is important to account for the different possibilities in the color structure within the matrix elements, leading to multiple TMDs at a given rank. In this way we are able to write the leading tree level result for a hard process in terms of process dependent gluon correlators which are expressed in a finite set of universal TMDs. We tabulate the gluonic pole factors for various gauge links, among them those that are relevant for 2 to 2 processes.

description: Executive Summary This deliverable focuses on the integration of REACT cloud-based platform and its core services with RES/storage enabled infrastructure deployed at demo sites (as part of Task 3.2). The document highlights the key integration steps in enabling communication between the REACT platform core services and the RES/storage equipment at the demo sites. The REACT enabling components are integrated with the underlying energy infrastructure matching the specifications of reference system architecture specified in Task 6.1 and the deployment plan devised in Task 3.1 This document should be a practical reference for the implementation and integration of RES/Storage-enabled infrastructure at each of the pilot sites. The configuration scenarios for both public and private buildings for each of the sites will be explicitly defined, with reference to the system architecture proposed in D6.1. An overview of each of these scenarios will be outlined, detailing the equipment to be installed and how it will be integrated locally and connected to the REACT cloud platform. Variants on the base reference configuration will be outlined for clarity (e.g. residential installations with and without PV or storage batteries).
Strong renormalization of the electronic band gap due to lattice polarization in the GW formalism

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: The self-consistent GW band gaps are known to be significantly overestimated. We show that this overestimation is, to a large extent, due to the neglect of the contribution of the lattice polarization to the screening of the electron-electron interaction. To solve this problem, we derive within the GW formalism a generalized plasmon-pole model that accounts for lattice polarization. The resulting GW self-energy is used to calculate the band structures of a set of binary semiconductors and insulators. The lattice contribution always decreases the band gap. The shrinkage increases with the size of the longitudinal-transverse optical splitting and it can represent more than 15% of the band gap in highly polar compounds, reducing the band-gap percentage error by a factor of three.

Our study aims to evaluate platelet numbers in SCD patients at the paraclinic unit of research in hematology at HU-JRA. Methods and patients : We performed a 6 months retrospective study from October 2016 to March 2017. Results : Fifty patients aged on average 12,92 years old were included with sex-ratio 0,85. Among the SCD patients 90% were homozygous, and 40% Vaso-occlusive crisis occured in 40% of the SCD patients. Thrombocytosis was seen in 34% of the SCD patients, and thrombocytopenia in 32%. Platelet rate was normal in 54%. No statistically significant association was observed between the platelet level and the other parameters. Conclusions : Platelet rate in SCD patients was mostly normal. Thrombocytosis was due to functional asplenia or splenectomy. Thrombocytopenia was caused by acute splenic sequestration or splenomegaly.

description: In the framework of massive gravity with a de Sitter reference metric, we study homogeneous and isotropic solutions with positive spatial curvature. Remarkably, we find that bounces can occur when cosmological matter satisfies the strong energy condition, in contrast to what happens in classical general relativity. This is due to the presence in the Friedmann equations of additional terms, which depend on the scale factor and its derivatives and can be interpreted as an effective fluid. We present a detailed study of the system using a phase space analysis. After having identified the fixed points of the system and investigated their stability properties, we discuss the cosmological evolution in the global physical phase space. We find that bouncing solutions

D.3.3 HiL testing of optimal control and energy dispatching strategy
Creators: name: Reihs, David
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Executive Summary Within Task 3.3 a possible large-scale distribution scenario of controllable smart energy systems was explored. Trying to mimic the whole system, hardware in the loop experiments were conducted combining a large simulated grid, that was modelled using real data of one of the REACT demonstration sites, as well as real hardware, that will be deployed in the field. To simulate realistic behaviour of systems in a coordinated control scheme in REACT, simulators of heat pumps and buildings as well as battery systems were developed. For the exploration of optimal control of heat pump systems within the REACT system, a model-predictive-control scheme was developed at TEKNIKER. The simulated components were combined in a co-simulation with the grid simulation, that was set up using real data from one of the demonstration sites. This simulation was used to explore 4 different control strategies, including community level optimisation and local self-consumption optimisation. Lessons learned from the simulation results are highlighted in this deliverable, and can provide valuable input for the optimization algorithm development. How real systems can be controlled and what settings can be used was explored at FHG and MIDAC for battery systems and at AIT with the help of MERCE for heat pump systems. In the lab, this co-simulation was combined with real hardware, that will be deployed in the field. This hardware was completely controlled via the REACT platform, the same way that it will be controlled once deployed. The positive results from the hardware-in-the-loop tests validate the REACT approach to controlling several assets with a coordinated control scheme through the REACT platform.

description: We calculate the Wilson ratio of the one-dimensional Fermi gas with spin imbalance. The Wilson ratio of attractively interacting fermions is solely determined by the density stiffness and sound velocity of pairs and of excess fermions for the two-component Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) phase. The ratio exhibits anomalous enhancement at the two critical points due to the sudden change in the density of states. Despite a breakdown of the quasiparticle description in one dimension, two important features of the Fermi liquid are retained, namely the specific heat is linearly proportional to temperature whereas the susceptibility is independent of temperature. In contrast to the phenomenological TLL parameter, the Wilson ratio provides a powerful parameter for testing universal quantum liquids of interacting fermions in one, two and three dimensions.

description: The fusion of independently obtained stochastic maps by collaborating mobile agents is considered. The proposed approach includes two parts: matching of stochastic maps and maximum likelihood alignment. In particular, an affine invariant hypergraph is constructed for each stochastic map, and a bipartite matching via a linear program is used to establish landmark correspondence between stochastic maps. A maximum likelihood alignment procedure is proposed to determine rotation and translation between common landmarks in order to construct a global map within a common frame of reference. A main feature of the proposed approach is its scalability with respect to the number of landmarks: the matching step has polynomial complexity and the maximum likelihood alignment is obtained in closed form. Experimental validation of the proposed fusion approach is performed using the Victoria Park benchmark dataset.

description: In the last years quantum correlations received large attention as key ingredient in advanced quantum metrology protocols, in this letter we show that they provide even larger advantages when considering multiple-interferometer setups. In particular we demonstrate that the use of quantum correlated light beams in coupled interferometers leads to substantial advantages with respect to classical light, up to a noise-free scenario for the ideal lossless case. On the one hand, our results prompt the possibility of testing quantum gravity in experimental configurations affordable in current quantum optics laboratories and strongly improve the precision in "larger size experiments" such as the Fermilab holometer; on the other hand, they pave the way for future applications to high precision measurements and quantum metrology.

In this wing, for two types of measurement in the other wing, we consider the spin state of a selected set of particles that are confined to a particular half of the plane while emerging from the SG magnetic field region. Due to non-idealness of the SG setup, this spin state will have superposing components involving a relative phase for which a testable quantitative constraint is obtained by invoking NSC, thereby providing a means for precision testing of this fundamentally significant principle.

description: We study the finite temperature Casimir interactions on two parallel boundaries in the anti-de Sitter spacetime AdS$_{D+1}$ induced by the vacuum fluctuations of a massive fermionic field with MIT bag boundary conditions. As in the Minkowski spacetime, the Casimir interaction always tends to attract the two boundaries to each other at any temperature and for any mass. For bosonic fields, it is well known that the high temperature leading term of the Casimir interaction is linear in temperature. However, for fermionic fields, the Casimir interaction decays exponentially at high temperature due to the absence of zero Matsubara frequency.

description: In this paper we give some general considerations about circularly symmetric, static space-times in 2+1 dimensions, focusing first on the surprising (at the time) existence of the BTZ black hole solution. We show that BTZ black holes and Schwarzschild black holes in 3+1 dimensions originate from different definitions of a black hole. There are two by-products of this general discussion: (i) we give a new and simple derivation of 2+1 dimensional Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space-time; (ii) we present an exact solution to 2+1 dimensional gravity coupled to a self-interacting real scalar field. The spatial part of the metric of this solution is flat but the temporal part behaves asymptotically like AdS space-time. The scalar field has logarithmic behavior as one would expect for a massless scalar field in flat space-time. The solution can be compared to gravitating scalar field solutions in 3+1 dimensions but with certain oddities connected with the 2+1 dimensional character of the space-time. The solution is unique to 2+1 dimensions; it does not carry over to 3+1 dimensions.

description: Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is a group of cardiac malformations present already during fetal life, representing the prevailing category of birth defects globally. Our aim in this study is to aid 3D fetal vessel topology visualisation in aortic arch anomalies, a group which encompasses a range of conditions with significant anatomical heterogeneity. We present a multi-task framework for automated multi-class fetal vessel segmentation from 3D black blood T2w MRI and anomaly classification. Our training data consists of binary manual segmentation masks of the cardiac vessels' region in individual subjects and fully-labelled anomaly-specific population atlases. Our framework combines deep learning label propagation using VoxelMorph with 3D Attention U-Net segmentation and DenseNet121 anomaly classification. We target 11 cardiac vessels and three distinct aortic arch anomalies, including double aortic arch, right aortic arch, and suspected coarctation of the aorta. We incorporate an anomaly classifier into our segmentation pipeline, delivering a multi-task framework with the primary motivation of correcting topological inaccuracies of the segmentation. The hypothesis is that the multi-task approach will encourage the segmenter network to learn anomaly-specific features. As a secondary motivation, an automated diagnosis tool may have the potential to enhance diagnostic confidence in a decision support setting. Our results showcase that our proposed training strategy significantly outperforms label propagation and a network trained exclusively on propagated labels. Our classifier outperforms a classifier trained exclusively on T2w volume images, with an average balanced accuracy of 0.99 (0.01) after joint training. Adding a classifier improves the anatomical and topological accuracy of all correctly classified double aortic arch subjects.

Abstract Isatuximab (Sarclisa®; isatuximab-irfc in the USA) is an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody (mAb) approved for use in the treatment of adults with multiple myeloma (MM): in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone for those with relapsed and refractory MM (RRMM) who have received ≥ 2 prior therapies, including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor; and in combination with carfilzomib and dexamethasone for those with relapsed MM who have received ≥ 1 prior therapy. In phase III studies, the addition of isatuximab to pomalidomide and dexamethasone signiicantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) and improved the depth of tumour response in patients with RRMM, as did the addition of isatuximab to carfilzomib and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or refractory MM. Health-related quality of life was maintained when isatuximab was combined with these other therapies. Isatuximab-based combination therapies were generally well tolerated and demonstrated a manageable safety proile with no new safety signals. Although mature overall survival data are awaited, available evidence indicates that the combinations of isatuximab with pomalidomide and dexamethasone and isatuximab with carilzomib and dexamethasone are important additional treatment options for RRMM and relapsed MM, respectively.

D-term Triggered Dynamical Supersymmetry Breaking

description: We present the mechanism of the dynamical supersymmetry breaking at the metastable vacuum recently uncovered in the N=1 U(N) supersymmetric gauge theory that contains adjoint superfields and that is specified by Kahler and non-canonical gauge kinetic functions and a superpotential whose tree vacua preserve N=1 supersymmetry. The overall U(1) serves as the hidden sector and no messenger superfield is required. The dynamical supersymmetry breaking is triggered by the non-vanishing D term coupled to the observable sector, and is realized by the self-consistent Hartree-Fock approximation of the NJL type while it eventually brings us the non-vanishing F term as well. It is shown that theoretical analysis is resolved as a variational problem of the effective potential for three kinds of background fields, namely, the complex scalar, and the two order parameters D and F of supersymmetry, the last one being treated perturbatively. We determine the stationary point and numerically check the consistency of such treatment as well as the local stability of the scalar potential. The coupling to the N = 1 supergravity is given and the gravitino mass formula is derived.

description: Voyager 1 has explored the solar wind-interstellar medium interaction region between the Terminal Shock and the Heliopause, following the intensity distribution of the shock accelerated anomalous component of cosmic rays in the MeV energy range. The sudden disappearance of this component at 121.7 AU from the sun is discussed in terms of three models for the transition into the interstellar plasma flow. Particles trapped flowing parallel to the boundary may penetrate up to one Larmour radius beyond. If the boundary is stationary, Voyager 1 directly samples this distance. The boundary could flap, depending on Heliosheath pressure changes and Voyager 1 then samples the extent of this motion. Finally, a turbulent boundary layer is considered in which the MeV particle distribution falls off with distance, thus measuring diffusion within the layer.

Atmospheric Heat Redistribution on Hot Jupiters

description: Infrared lightcurves of transiting hot Jupiters present a trend in which the atmospheres of the hottest planets are less efficient at redistributing the stellar energy absorbed on their daysides---and thus have a larger day-night temperature contrast---than colder planets. No predictive atmospheric model has been published that identifies which dynamical mechanisms determine the atmospheric heat redistribution efficiency on tidally locked exoplanets. Here we present a two-layer shallow water model of the atmospheric dynamics on synchronously rotating planets that explains the observed trend. Our model shows that planets with weak friction and weak irradiation exhibit a banded zonal flow with minimal day-night temperature differences, while models with strong irradiation and/or strong friction exhibit a day-night flow pattern with order-unity fractional day-night temperature differences. To interpret the model, we develop a scaling theory that shows that the timescale for gravity waves to propagate horizontally over planetary scales, t_wave, plays a dominant role in controlling the transition from small to large temperature contrasts. This implies that heat redistribution is governed by a wave-like process, similar to the one responsible for the weak temperature gradients in the Earth's tropics. When atmospheric drag can be neglected, the transition from small to large day-night temperature contrasts occurs when t_wave ~ sqrt(t_rad/Omega), where t_rad is the radiative relaxation time and Omega is the planetary rotation frequency. Alternatively, this transition criterion can be expressed as t_rad ~ t_vert, where t_vert is the timescale for a fluid parcel to move vertically over the difference in day-night thickness. These results subsume the commonly used timescale comparison for estimating heat redistribution efficiency between t_rad and the global horizontal advection timescale, t_adv.

description: Recently, it was discussed that the $ν=1/3$ fractional quantum Hall state can be expressed by a one-dimensional lattice model with an exact matrix-prduct ground state, when toroidal boundary conditions are assumed for a narrow strip [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 109} (2012) 016401]. In this article, we discuss how the excitation spectra of this system are calculated analytically based on the matrix-product formalism. We introduce variational wave functions for various momenta and optimize them. The obtained spectra of the charge neutral excitations show the magneto-roton behavior.

[[worker]]. Longueur 4 à 4,5 mill. Mandibules densément striées et subopaques avec des points épars. Tête, thorax et pédicule subopaques ou soyeux, densément et irrégulièrement réticulés-ponctués, avec des rides ou stries assez grossières, très irrégulièrement réparties et variables; sur la tête, des stries denses remplacent çà et là la ponctuation réticu- laire. Antennes de dix articles; articles 2 à 6 du funicule comme chez le C. hova. L'échancrure méso-métanotale est assez forte, et surtout le mésonotum beaucoup plus élevé que le bord antérieur du métanotum. Epines métanotales très longues et très étroites, plus longues que la distance de leurs bases. La forme du premier article du pédicule est très variable; tantôt il est identique à celui du C. hova, tantôt plus long et plus étroit, à peine élargi devant, tantôt plus large que long, très large et presque semi-circulaire devant, avec deux côtés fortement convergents en arrière. Du reste identique de forme, de pilosité et de couleur au C. hova, mais la tête est à peu près noire et la majeure partie du premier segment de l'abdomen souvent d'un jaune roux.
[[queen]]. Longueur 9 à 9,5 mill. Antennes de dix articles. Mésonotum et scutellum luisants et assez lisses (avec quelques points et quelques faibles réticulations). Le reste du thorax assez fortement sculpté; métanotum grossièrement ridé en travers partout. Métanotum armé, de deux dents très obtuses. Premier n œ ud du pédicule un peu plus large devant que derrière, avec les angles antérieurs arrondis et le bord antérieur convexe; second n œ ud sans sillon médian ni impression. Abdomen lisse, luisant, avec une fine ponctuation piligère et une pubescence espacée très marquée. Du reste comme l'ouvrière. Ailes subhyalines; nervures et tache marginale brunes. Longueur d'une aile 11 mill.
Imerinâ: Antananarivô, Andrangoloakâ, etc. (Rév. Père Camboué, Hildebrandt [Musée de Berlin], Sikora).
La taille et la sculpture font paraître cette espèce entièrement diffé- rente du C. hova à première vue. Les exemplaires à base de l'abdomen rousse rappellent même le C. tricolor. Mais un examen attentif montre son intime parenté avec le C. hova dont elle n'est peut-être qu'une race.
