description: In this paper, a reactor core thermomechanical analysis method is described to provide a tool to quantify the reactivity effect of the fuel subassembly distortion in the reactor core which is a relevant problem for certain reactor types such as Sodium-cooled Fast Reactors. The importance of such an analysis was made evident by the A.U.R.N. (negative reactivity event) [1] issue in the Phenix reactor as well as by the partial core meltdown of EBR-I [2]. The proposed method consists of two major phases: 1) The simulation of the core deformation through a CAD (Computer Aided Design) based finite element solver and 2) The measurement of the reactivity effect of the core distortion in Serpent 2 Monte Carlo code [3] through the obtained, deformed model. The technique makes it possible to obtain certain snapshots of the reactor core geometry in different points of time and to measure how the reactivity of the core is going to change as a response to a certain transient allowing an accurate prediction of the reactor behavior under the simulated conditions. In addition, the paper includes the verification process which was conducted to compare the accuracy of the finite element solver to the theoretical solutions regarding the deformation of a hexagonal subassembly. Moreover, the neutronics calculation accuracy has been demonstrated for the deformed and undeformed geometry subassemblies, equating the models obtained from the finite element solver with the model built directly in Serpent. As part of the investigation with the Monte Carlo code, the multiplication factors have been calculated and compared for different geometry subassemblies by carrying out a comprehensive analysis through the decomposition of the production and absorption terms at the various regions of the model. By means of this verification, it was demonstrated that, for the investigated conditions, the finite element solver accurately reproduces the theoretical deformation of the subassemblies and that the Serpent interface reads correctly the deformed CAD models. These conclusions open the path for the future validation work which is going to be performed on the Phenix Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor based on the data obtained from the core flowering End-of-Life test [4].

Countertopographies of Agriculture Gender, Food Production, and Development in a Globalizing World

description: This paper is being published in Consilience through a collaboration with SustainUS. This paper examines the potential of geographic analysis to empower rural women through development policy. Women have remained at the margins of agricultural policy in spite of decades of research documenting their importance in maintaining food security and crop diversity, and continued national and international efforts at gender mainstreaming. Existing approaches to gender analysis are inadequate in dealing with global social and institutional structures that gender mainstreaming seeks to transform. A ‘contertopgraphic’ methodology, developed by geographers to trace structural similarities between different places is used to analyze the dynamic connections between gender, food production, and development. Through the juxtaposition of rural women’s experiences in four distinct agricultural settings, this paper demonstrates how inequality and inequity in different locales are the result of broad-scale political and economic change. A geographic framework may be more suitable to recognize and address the disempowerment of rural women in a globalizing world.

description: The interlayer coupling, which has a strong influence on the properties of van der Waals heterostructures, strongly depends on the interlayer distance. Although considerable theoretical interest has been demonstrated, experiments exploiting a variable interlayer coupling on nanocircuits are scarce due to the experimental difficulties. Here, we demonstrate a novel method to tune the interlayer coupling using hydrostatic pressure by incorporating van der Waals heterostructure based nanocircuits in piston-cylinder hydrostatic pressure cells with a dedicated sample holder design. This technique opens the way to conduct transport measurements on nanodevices under pressure using up to 12 contacts without constraints on the sample at fabrication level. Using transport measurements, we demonstrate that hexagonal boron nitride capping layer provides a good protection of van der Waals heterostructures from the influence of the pressure medium, and we show experimental evidence of the influence of pressure on the interlayer coupling using weak localization measurements on a TMDC/graphene heterostructure.

Sexual Divisions of Labor in Export-Oriented Manufacturing Sectors: The Reconstruction of Gender and the Urbanization of Production in the Global South
Creators: name: Pepper, Analee
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: The feminization of labor in parallel with the feminization of poverty in poor countries is a controversial topic in the field of development, especially with regards to foreign-owned export-oriented manufacturing sectors (FEMS). This paper offers a critique of the dominant argument that the introduction or expansion of a poor county’s FEMS will positively affect the status of women, thereby stimulating sustainable human development. I argue that intersecting oppressions (i.e. female, poor, immigrant, rural, dark skinned) are exploited and exaggerated in order to achieve economic interests. International development groups such as the World Bank have labeled FEMS in poor countries as opportunities for women to increase their independent earning power and socioeconomic status. This is based on the logic that gender equality—a factor believed to stimulate development—is only achieved through access to the formal labor sector and independent capital earnings. However, this neglects the underlying fact that for FEMS to be economically sustainable, gender inequality, as well as global economic inequality, must remain unchanged. In addition to this critique, this paper attempts to answer the following questions: What are the different ways in which poor women in the Global South are impacted by the influx of export-oriented manufacturing industries? How is gender constructed and utilized within these industries’ managerial policies? What are the ensuing effects of this on the labor force?

description: The Hawking radiation for massless spin-2 fields is numerically studied when the spacetime background is (4+n)-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole phase. In order to check the validity of the Emparan-Horowitz-Myers argument, {\it black holes radiate mainly on the brane}, we assume that the radial equation for the massless spin-2 fields propagating on the brane obeys the master equation approximately. The transmission coefficient is computed explicitly by making use of the Hawking-Hartle theorem. It is shown that the total emission rates into the bulk are dominant compared to the rates on the visible brane when $n \geq 3$. However, the bulk-to-brane relative emissivities per degree of freedom always remain O(1) roughly. The experimental significance of these results in the production of mini black holes in future colliders is briefly discussed.

description: The distance-redshift relation determined by means of gravitational waves in the clumpy universe is simulated numerically by taking into account the effects of gravitational lensing. It is assumed that all of the matter in the universe takes the form of randomly distributed point masses, each of which has the identical mass $M_L$. Calculations are carried out in two extreme cases: $λ\gg GM_L/c^2$ and $λ\ll GM_L/c^2$, where $λ$ denotes the wavelength of gravitational waves. In the first case, the distance-redshift relation for the fully homogeneous and isotropic universe is reproduced with a small distance dispersion, whereas in the second case, the distance dispersion is larger. This result suggests that we might obtain information about the typical mass of lens objects through the distance-redshift relation gleaned through observation of gravitational waves of various wavelengths. In this paper, we show how to set limitations on the mass $M_L$ through the observation of gravitational waves in the clumpy universe model described above.

OFDM/FM frame synchronization for mobile radio data communication
Creators: name: Warner, William D.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A synchronization scheme enabling the use of OFDM/FM in a pure ALOHA environment over a mobile radio channel is proposed, implemented, and tested. The synchronization scheme encodes synchronization information in parallel with data in the same manner in which data is encoded in the OFDM/FM frame. The encoded synchronization information is in the form of tones, centered in reserved frequency sub-channels of the OFDM signal. The receiver uses a correlation detector, implemented in the frequency domain, to accurately acquire synchronization on a packet by packet basis. Experimental results indicate that BER performance with synchronization is achieved to within 1.5 dB of the performance achievable with ideal synchronization.
Ring Formation in Protoplanetary Disks Driven by an Eccentric Instability

description: We find that, under certain conditions, protoplanetary disks may spontaneously generate multiple, concentric gas rings without an embedded planet through an eccentric cooling instability. Using both linear theory and non-linear hydrodynamics simulations, we show that a variety of background states may trap a slowly precessing, one-armed spiral mode that becomes unstable when a gravitationally-stable disk rapidly cools. The angular momentum required to excite this spiral comes at the expense of non-uniform mass transport that generically results in multiple rings. For example, one long-term hydrodynamics simulation exhibits four long-lived, axisymmetric gas rings. We verify the instability evolution and ring formation mechanism from first principles with our linear theory, which shows remarkable agreement with the simulation results. Dust trapped in these rings may produce observable features consistent with observed disks. Additionally, direct detection of the eccentric gas motions may be possible when the instability saturates, and any residual eccentricity leftover in the rings at later times may also provide direct observational evidence of this mechanism.

On a paper of Erod and Turan-Markov inequalities for non-flat convex domains

description: For a convex domain K in the complex plane C, the well-known general Markov inequality asserting that a polynomial p of degree n ||p'|| < c(K) n^2 ||p|| holds. On the other hand for polynomials in general, ||p'|| can be arbitrarily small as compared to ||p||. The situation changes when we assume that the polynomials have all their zeroes in the convex body K. This problem of lower bound for Markov factors was first investigated by Turán in 1939. Turán showed ||p'|| \ge n/2 ||p|| for the unit disk D and ||p'|| > c \sqrt{n} ||p|| for the unit interval I:=[-1,1]. Soon after that, J. Er\H od published a long article, discussing various extensions of the results and methods of Turán. For decades, Er\H od's paper was quoted only for the explicit calculation of the exact constant of the interval case. However, in recent years Levenberg and Poletsky, Erdélyi and also the author investigated Turán's problem for various sets - basically, convex domains. In this context the much richer content of Er\H od's work is to be realized again. Thus, the aim of the paper is twofold. On the one hand we give an account of the half-forgotten, old Hungarian article of Er\H od, also commemorating its author. On the other hand we report on recent developments with particular emphasis on development of one of the key observations of Er\H od, namely, the role of the curvature of the boundary curve in the estimation of the lower bound of Markov factors.

Memories of past close encounters in extreme trans-Neptunian space: Finding unseen planets using pure random searches

description: Context. The paths followed by the known extreme trans-Neptunian objects (ETNOs) effectively avoid direct gravitational perturbations from the four giant planets, yet their orbital eccentricities are in the range between 0.69-0.97. Solar system dynamics studies show that such high values of the eccentricity can be produced via close encounters or secular perturbations. In both cases, the presence of yet-to-be-discovered trans-Plutonian planets is required. Aims. If the high eccentricities of the known ETNOs are the result of relatively recent close encounters with putative planets, the mutual nodal distances of sizeable groups of ETNOs with their assumed perturber may still be small enough to be identifiable geometrically. In order to confirm or reject this possibility, we used Monte Carlo random search techniques. Methods. Two arbitrary orbits may lead to close encounters when their mutual nodal distance is sufficiently small. We generated billions of random planetary orbits with parameters within the relevant ranges and computed the mutual nodal distances with a set of randomly generated orbits with parameters consistent with those of the known ETNOs and their uncertainties. We monitored which planetary orbits had the maximum number of potential close encounters with synthetic ETNOs and we studied the resulting distributions. Results. We provide narrow ranges for the orbital parameters of putative planets that may have experienced orbit-changing encounters with known ETNOs. Conclusions. Our calculations suggest that more than one perturber is required if scattering is the main source of orbital modification for the known ETNOs. Perturbers might not be located farther than 600 AU and they have to follow moderately eccentric and inclined orbits to be capable of experiencing close encounters with multiple known ETNOs.

description: Using a three-dimensional active vertex model, we numerically study the shapes of strained unsupported epithelial monolayers subject to active junctional noise due to stochastic binding and unbinding of myosin. We find that while uniaxial, biaxial, and isotropic in-plane compressive strains do lead to the formation of longitudinal, herringbone-pattern, and labyrinthine folds, respectively, the villus morphology characteristic of, e.g., the small intestine appears only if junctional tension fluctuations are strong enough to fluidize the tissue. Moreover, the fluidized epithelium features villi even in absence of compressive strain provided that the apico-basal differential tension is large enough. We analyze several details of the different epithelial forms including the role of strain rate and the modulation of tissue thickness across folds. Our results show that nontrivial morphologies can form even in unsupported, non-patterned epithelia.

The asymptotic distribution amplitude is utilized as a candidate form for the nonperturbative dynamical input. Comparison of the obtained results with the existing experimental data does not provide sufficiently clear evidence to support the applicability of the hard-scattering approach at currently accessible energies.

Underdevelopment and Economic Theory of Growth: Case for Infant Industry Promotion
Creators: name: Zambakari, Christopher
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: The article reviews the literature on economic development, critiques neoliberal economic theories, and advances the theory of infant industry promotion as an alternative model for development in Africa. The essay argues that for developing countries to catch up to developed countries requires contextualizing development theory, applying selective economic policies to industries where productive capacities can be developed, and localizing the policy lessons to develop the productive abilities of local industries. The role of state in development and implementation of protective measures such as tariffs, import bans on key raw materials, and rebates on industrial inputs is discussed. To escape the Resource Curse, African states will have to develop an alternative source of employment, an industrial base, and strengthen the productive powers of infant industries if those industries are to survive fierce international competition. To be durable in the African context, economic policy must reflect local conditions, vary from one historical context to the next, use readily available resources, and adequately respond to local problems.

description: A hierarchical equations of motion formalism for a quantum dissipation system in a grand canonical bath ensemble surrounding is constructed, on the basis of the calculus-on-path-integral algorithm, together with the parametrization of arbitrary non-Markovin bath that satisfies fluctuation-dissipation theorem. The influence functionals for both the Fermion or Boson bath interaction are found to be of the same path-integral expression as the canonical bath, assuming they all satisfy the Gaussian statistics. However, the equation of motion formalism are different, due to the fluctuation-dissipation theories that are distinct and used explicitly. The implications of the present work to quantum transport through molecular wires and electron transfer in complex molecular systems are discussed.

description: (abridged) Data and results from the WISH key program are summarized, designed to provide a legacy data set to address its physics and chemistry. WISH targeted ~80 sources along the two axes of luminosity and evolutionary stage: from low- to high-mass protostars and from pre-stellar cores to protoplanetary disks. Lines of H2O, HDO, OH, CO and [O I] were observed with the HIFI and PACS instruments, complemented by molecules that probe UV, X-ray or grain chemistry. Most of the far-infrared water emission from protostars is found to be compact, originating from warm outflowing and shocked gas at high density and temperature in at least two physical components. This gas is not probed by low-J CO lines, only by J>14. Water is a significant, but not dominant, coolant. Its abundance is universally low, of order H2O/H2=2E-6, pointing to shock and outflow cavity models that include UV radiation at 100-1000 times the ISRF. In cold quiescent pre-stellar cores and envelopes, the water abundance structure is accurately probed through velocity-resolved line profiles, confirming basic chemistry networks. The gaseous HDO/H2O ratio of 0.025, much higher than that of bulk ice, is representative of the outer photodesorbed ice layers and cold chemistry. Water abundances in the inner hot cores are high, but with variations from 5E-6 to 2E-4. Combined analyses of water gas and ice show that up to 50% of the oxygen budget may be missing, with possible explanations discussed. Water vapor emission from disks is weak, indicating that water ice is locked up in larger pebbles early on and that these pebbles have settled and drifted inward by the Class II stage. Quantitatively, many oceans of water ice are available. Extragalactic low-J H2O emission is mostly compact and collisionally excited. Prospects for future mid- to far-infrared missions are given.

description: In a recent experiment, a Bose-Einstein condensate was trapped in an anharmonic potential which is well approximated by a harmonic and a quartic part. The condensate was set into such a fast rotation that the centrifugal force in the corotating frame overcompensates the harmonic part in the plane perpendicular to the rotation axis. Thus, the resulting trap potential became Mexican-hat shaped. We present an analysis for an ideal Bose gas which is confined in such an anharmonic rotating trap within a semiclassical approximation where we calculate the critical temperature, the condensate fraction, and the heat capacity. In particular, we examine in detail how these thermodynamical quantities depend on the rotation frequency.

description: We present moderate resolution spectroscopy of extraplanar diffuse ionized gas (EDIG) emission in the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 4302. The spectra were obtained with the SparsePak integral field unit (IFU) at the WIYN Observatory. The spectra are used to construct position-velocity (PV) diagrams at several ranges of heights above the midplane. Azimuthal velocities are directly extracted from the PV diagrams using the envelope tracing method, and indicate an extremely steep dropoff in rotational velocity with increasing height, with magnitude ~30 km/s/kpc. We find evidence for a radial variation in the velocity gradient on the receding side. We have also performed artificial observations of galaxy models in an attempt to match the PV diagrams. The results of a statistical analysis also favor a gradient of ~30 km/s/kpc. We compare these results with an entirely ballistic model of disk-halo flow, and find a strong dichotomy between the observed kinematics and those predicted by the model. The disagreement is worse than we have found for other galaxies in previous studies. The conclusions of this paper are compared to results from two other galaxies, NGC 5775 and NGC 891. We find that the vertical gradient in rotation speed, per unit EDIG scale height, for all three galaxies is consistent with a constant magnitude (within the errors) of approximately 15-25 km/s/scaleheight, independent of radius. This relationship is also true within the galaxy NGC 4302. We also discuss how the gradient depends on the distribution and morphology of the EDIG and the star formation rates of the galaxies, and consequences for the origin of the gas.

description: The BioReCer interview series showcases the different work packages and tasks within the BioReCer project in its quest to develop guidelines and recommendations for the certification of biobased feedstocks. 

This issue ipresents Lucía Gonzales Monjardin and Pedro Villanueva Rey from Cetaqua who elaborate on the validation and application of new sustainability and circularity indicators in BioReCer.

BioReCer (Biological Resources Certifications Schemes) aims at assessing and complementing current certification schemes for biological resources according to the new EU sustainability goals to enhance bio-based circular systems.

This will be achieved by including new criteria that align with EU taxonomy and EU corporate due diligence regulations into guidelines for certifying biological resources’ sustainability, origin, tracking and traceability (T&T), and by ensuring applicability at EU and global scale.

By promoting the sustainability and trade of biological resources, BioReCer will increase the added value, use, as well as social acceptance of bio-based products.

description: In disordered two dimensional Chern insulators, a single bulk extended mode is predicted to exist per band, up to a critical disorder strength; all the other bulk modes are localized. This behavior contrasts strongly with topologically trivial two-dimensional phases, whose modes all become localized in the presence of disorder. Using a tight-binding model of a realistic photonic Chern insulator, we show that delocalized bulk eigenstates can be observed in an experimentally realistic setting. This requires the selective use of resonator losses to suppress topological edge states, and acquiring sufficiently large ensemble sizes using variable resonator detunings.

description: This report documents the body of work undertaken withinWP7. task 7.2, and specifically considers the transferability of participants’ perspectives to the technologists. It provides an overview of the co-design activities undertaken and the role that Sheffield Hallam University has played in the planning and co-ordination of these. It summarises the feedback and findings from potential end users of NESTORE in relation to the pathways and interface requirements of the system and ends with recommendations from this phase of the work to date as well as reflections on the contribution and complexity of co-design within the project. This work package runs from M6-M18, in order to give a enriched view of activities completed we will update this document at the end of M18.
Was the Highly Indebted Poor Country Initiative (HIPC) a Success?
Creators: name: Isar, Sarajuddin
Publisher: name: Consilience

description: Historically, the sustainability of long-term debts has been a primary concern for both indebted countries and those who finance their debts. In the late 1990s the Bretton Wood’s institutions (the International Monetary Fund, IMF, and the World Bank) launched the Highly Indebted Poor Countries initiatives (HIPC I, 1996 and HIPC II, 1999) to reduce the burden of debt on highly indebted countries. If countries could meet certain complex criteria, the HIPC would stop the rescheduling of their debts. This article analyzes the effectiveness of the HIPC initiative and finds that its successes remain questionable.

Can de-carbonisation technologies provide an ecosystem equilibrium? A workshop on Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage technologies.
Creators: name: STAVRIANAKIS, KOSTAS

description: While climate change has been described as an imminent threat, there are disagreements on how to best address it. The role of technology in de-carbonising societies has received a lot of attention by researchers as well as governments and organizations with different attitudes towards them. Opinions on the viability of technology to address carbon dioxide emissions (CO2), diverge both on their technical capacity as well as on the  moral grounds of  sustaining an economic system that perpetuates environmental degradation. In a recent report published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Carbon Capture and Storage technologies were included as a technological solution to achieve net zero emissions. On the contrary,some scholars’ are critical on addressing climate change through technological innovations, as such solutions do not address the problem and they merely ignore other more applicable solutions, e.g. societal and productivity system changes (Stuart et al., 2020). 

This proposed workshop is part of an ongoing research study of a European Union funded project on Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage technologies. For the purposes of this session, we aim to explore and collect data on workshop participants’ acceptance and perceptions on CCUS as well as their thoughts on decarbonisation.To facilitate the workshop and initiate discussions amongst other activities we will present a video and an infographic that has been produced as part of the project.

Radiative heat transfer between metallic nanoparticles

Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this letter, we study the radiative heat transfer between two nanoparticles in the near field and in the far field. We find that the heat transfer is dominated by the electric dipole-dipole interaction for dielectric particles and by the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction for metallic nanoparticles. We introduce polarizabilities formulas valid for arbitrary values of the skin depth. While the heat transfer mechanism is different for metallic and dielectric nanoparticles, we show that the distance dependence is the same. However, the dependence of the heat flux on the particle radius is different.
Genetic algorithms, their applications and models in nonlinear systems identification
Creators: name: Wan, Frank Lup Ki
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Genetic Algorithm was used to estimate the hydraulic compliance of the hydraulic system on the UBC teleoperated heavy duty excavator. Using real recorded and simulation data from the excavator, the Genetic Algorithm has successfully identified the compliance of single link and multi-link hydraulic system of the excavator. A Parallel GA ( PGA ) was implemented with 16 T800 Transputers. It achieved a speedup factor of 12 over a traditional GA. With such a high speedup factor, real-time monitoring of hydraulic compliance and other hydraulic parameters is becoming possible. New mechanisms such as the distributed fitness function, the active error analysis were used to enhance the performance of a PGA. A PGA which incorporated these mechanisms actually outperformed a traditional GA in key areas such as variance of the estimated parameter and parameter tracking ability. Finally, a physical model that explains the fundamental properties of GAs was introduced. The physical model ( a hypercube ) not only provides an excellent explanation of GAs searching power, but also gives insight to GAs users ways to improve and to predict the performance of GAs in most applications.

description: Uganda currently hosts more than 1.4 million refugees and the relationship with the host population is complex. In this paper, we investigate the effect of the interactions between refugee and host-communities by using a unique dataset and by exploring a broad range of economic outcomes – such as employment opportunities, sources of income, agriculture production, and enterprises. We use the distance between refugee and host communities to measure the degree of interaction. To deal with potential endogeneity issues, we adopt an instrumental variable approach and carry out several robustness tests. We find positive effects on individual participation in paid employment and on household wage income. Discarding the role of assistance, we suggest that these positive effects can be driven by refugees’ economic activities. However, the market creation is localized.

A Photo Essay on Senegal: Advancing Development and a Pull Backwards by Tradition
Creators: name: Hoeberlein, Caitlin
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: Senegal is a country of contradictions. Cultural holdovers from the past battle with the influx of foreign ideas and development strategies. Development in Senegal takes many forms, yet despite the many steps forward in ameliorating living conditions and protecting the environment, traditional practices and perspectives often delay or hinder these advances. This is true in all sectors, including the environment, politics, urban planning, and community development. How the Senegalese harmonize new strategies with traditional perspectives will determine the extent and effectiveness of future development.

Quantum fluctuation theorem: Can we go from micro to meso?
Creators: name: De Roeck, Wojciech
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Quantum extensions of the Gallavotti-Cohen fluctuation theorem (FT) for the entropy production have been discussed by several authors. There is a practical gap between microscopic forms of FT and mesoscopic (i.e. not purely Hamiltonian) forms for open systems. In a microscopic setup, it is easy to state and to prove FT. In a mesoscopic setup, it is difficult to identify fluctuations of the entropy production. (This difficulty is absent in the classical case.) We discuss a particular mesoscopic model: a Lindblad master equation, in which we state FT and, more importantly, connect it rigorously with the underlying microscopic FT. We also remark that FT is satisfied by the Lesovik-Levitov formula for statistics of charge transport.

Nucleon Form Factors in QCD

description: We calculate the electromagnetic and the axial form factors of the nucleon within the framework of light cone sum rules (LCSR) to leading order in QCD and including higher twist corrections. In particular we motivate a certain choice for the interpolating nucleon field. We find that a simple model of the nucleon distribution amplitudes which deviate from their asymptotic shape, but much less compared to the QCD sum rule estimates, allows one to describe the data remarkably well.
