description: Submillimeter observations with ALMA will be the essential next step in our understanding of how stars and planets form. Key projects range from detailed imaging of the collapse of pre-stellar cores and measuring the accretion rate of matter onto deeply embedded protostars, to unravelling the chemistry and dynamics of high-mass star-forming clusters and high-spatial resolution studies of protoplanetary disks down to the 1 AU scale.

The effect of water restrictions on apple orchard productivity in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley
Creators: name: Wigington, Ian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines the relationship between water and yield for apples in the Okanagan region of British Columbia. This is accomplished through a model which simulates the water/yield relationship in tree fruits. Two soil types, two rootstocks, and two irrigation systems were included in the simulation. The results of the simulation indicate that Okanagan orchard irrigation water requirements are substantially lower than present irrigation application rates. Using sprinkler irrigation, irrigation requirements for silt-loam soils amounted to 30% of present application rates, while for sand soils 42% of present application rates were required. Trickle irrigation requirements were determined to be 71% of sprinkler requirements for similar yields.

description: The confusion matrix, a ubiquitous visualization for helping people evaluate machine learning models, is a tabular layout that compares predicted class labels against actual class labels over all data instances. We conduct formative research with machine learning practitioners at Apple and find that conventional confusion matrices do not support more complex data-structures found in modern-day applications, such as hierarchical and multi-output labels. To express such variations of confusion matrices, we design an algebra that models confusion matrices as probability distributions. Based on this algebra, we develop Neo, a visual analytics system that enables practitioners to flexibly author and interact with hierarchical and multi-output confusion matrices, visualize derived metrics, renormalize confusions, and share matrix specifications. Finally, we demonstrate Neo's utility with three model evaluation scenarios that help people better understand model performance and reveal hidden confusions.

description: We present a search for Trojan companions to 25 transiting exoplanets. We use the technique of Ford & Gaudi 2006, in which a difference is sought between the observed transit time and the transit time that is calculated by fitting a two-body Keplerian orbit to the radial-velocity data. This technique is sensitive to the imbalance of mass at the L4/L5 points of the planet-star orbit. No companions were detected. The median 2$σ$ upper limit is 60 Earth masses, and the most constraining limit is 2.5 Earth masses for the case of GJ 436.

description: Active fluids, composed of individual self-propelled agents, can generate complex large-scale coherent flows. A particularly important laboratory realization of such an active fluid is a system composed of microtubules, aligned in a quasi-two-dimensional (2D) nematic phase, and driven by ATP-fueled kinesin motor proteins. This system exhibits robust chaotic advection and gives rise to a pronounced fractal structure in the nematic contours. We characterize such experimentally derived fractals using the power spectrum and discover that the power spectrum decays as $k^{-β}$ for large wavenumbers $k$. The parameter $β$ is measured for several experimental realizations. Though $β$ is effectively constant in time, it does vary with experimental parameters, indicating differences in the scale-free behavior of the microtubule-based active nematic. Though the fractal patterns generated in this active system are reminiscent of passively advected dye in 2D chaotic flows, the underlying mechanism for fractal generation is more subtle. We provide a simple, physically inspired mathematical model of fractal generation in this system that relies on the material being locally compressible, though the total area of the material is conserved globally. The model also requires that large-scale density variations be injected into the material periodically. The model reproduces the power spectrum decay $k^{-β}$ seen in experiments. Linearizing the model of fractal generation about the equilibrium density, we derive an analytic relationship between $β$ and a single dimensionless quantity $r$, which characterizes the compressibility.

description: In this paper, an efficient method is presented for kinematic analysis of a designed parallel kinematics
sun tracker. This design improves the distribution of the forces and so, makes this device more adaptable for roof-top
installations. Future developing work related with this prototype makes a kinematic analysis mandatory. This analysis
describes the device mathematically and predicts its kinematic behavior –positions, speeds and accelerations-.
However, kinematic analysis is complex for spatial applications, thus two mathematical models of the mechanism
have been applied and analyzed. The model obtained by applying the Trigonometric Method is simple to formulae
but it has low convergence of solutions. The other one has been obtained applying the Algebraic-Vectorial Method
and, although it is not so simple to obtain, it improves the calculation results by numerical techniques. The result will
help us to describe and optimize the workspace of the mechanism.

description: Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is provided differently across Scotland. Scottish Care of Older People (SCoOP) CGA Audit was a national audit conducted in 2019 to assess this variation in acute hospitals. Two versions of audit questionnaires about provision of CGA were developed (one each for larger hospitals, and remote/rural areas) and piloted. The questionnaires were sent to representatives from all hospitals in Scotland using the REDCap system. The survey asked each service to provide information on CGA service delivery at the ‘front door’. The questionnaire was open for completion between February and July 2019. Of the 28 Scottish Hospitals which receive acute admissions, we received information from 26 (92.9% response rate). Reporting sites included seven hospitals from remote and rural locations in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Significant variations were observed across participating sites for all key aspects studied: dedicated frailty units, routes of admission, staffing, liaison with other services and rehabilitation provision. 2019 SCoOP CGA audit highlights areas of CGA services which could be improved, and variation in specialist CGA service access, structure and staffing at the front door across Scotland. Whether this variation has impact on outcome of older people requires further evaluation.

description: The research includes the energy efficiency and smart utilization of photovoltaic (PV) panels
depending on shadows made by clouds which has major influence to the final production of electrical energy
generated by PV array. The maximum produced power that PV source is able to provide has been reached by tracking
the clouds in real time and registering the shadow effect. Production of PV arrays on a cloudy day is directly
dependent on the path of the sun, cloud geometry and location of photovoltaic array. Based on the estimated cloud
movements and their geometry and already known the sun trajectory, prediction of the time duration of
overshadowing the photovoltaic array location has been done. Within the research the solution that shows the secure
prediction and planning of solar power production as the significance and relevance of this paper has been reached,
taking into consideration the influences of shadows of the cloud that affect the photovoltaic efficiency and final
power production. Hence, within power systems with large scale PV integration the proposed system obtain an
optimal power balancing reserve management and within isolated hybrid systems that includes PV panels; the system
can be utilized for load management system and optimal usage of diesel aggregate.

description: High precision electroweak tests, such as deviations from the Standard Model expectations of the Lepton Flavor Universality breaking in K->lnu (with l= e or mu), represent a powerful tool to test the Standard Model and, hence, to constrain or obtain indirect hints of New Physics beyond it. We explore such a possibility within Supersymmetric theories. Interestingly enough, a process that in itself does not need lepton flavor violation to occur, i.e. the violation of mu-e non-universality in K_l2, proves to be quite effective in constraining not only relevant regions of SUSY models where lepton flavor is conserved, but even those where specific lepton flavor violating contributions arise. Indeed, a comparison with analogous bounds coming from tau lepton flavor violating decays shows the relevance of the measurement of R_K to probe Lepton Flavor Violation in SUSY. We outline the role and the interplay of the direct New Physics searches at the LHC with the indirect searches performed by LFU tests.

description: This article describes how the Solliance Organic PhotoVoltaics (OPV) shared research Program
addresses efficiency, lifetime and production costs for (near) future OPV applications. The balance of these three
parameters depends of the envisaged application, but at the end, OPV should be able to compete somehow with Si
PV in the future. Efficiency improvements are realized by developing new materials, , by exploring and optimizing
new device structures and novel interconnection technologies. Lifetime improvements are realized by using stabilized
device stacks and materials and by applying high end flexible barriers. Production cost control is done by using a
home made Cost of Ownership tool which guides towards the use of low-cost materials and processes.
Constraint-Guided Reinforcement Learning: Augmenting the Agent-Environment-Interaction

description: Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents have great successes in solving tasks with large observation and action spaces from limited feedback. Still, training the agents is data-intensive and there are no guarantees that the learned behavior is safe and does not violate rules of the environment, which has limitations for the practical deployment in real-world scenarios. This paper discusses the engineering of reliable agents via the integration of deep RL with constraint-based augmentation models to guide the RL agent towards safe behavior. Within the constraints set, the RL agent is free to adapt and explore, such that its effectiveness to solve the given problem is not hindered. However, once the RL agent leaves the space defined by the constraints, the outside models can provide guidance to still work reliably. We discuss integration points for constraint guidance within the RL process and perform experiments on two case studies: a strictly constrained card game and a grid world environment with additional combinatorial subgoals. Our results show that constraint-guidance does both provide reliability improvements and safer behavior, as well as accelerated training.

The effects of analyzing task demands on children's selection and transfer of effective memory strategies
Creators: name: Chow, Yi Ling Mary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study examined the effects of analyzing task demands on children's selection and spontaneous transfer of effective memory strategies. Two learning tasks and a transfer task were used. One hundred and eight children in grades 3 and 5 were randomly assigned to one of the three conditions, Control, Simple Instruction (SI), and Elaborated Instruction (EI). No strategy was taught to subjects in the Control condition. Subjects in the SI and EI conditions were instructed to use appropriate memory strategies for the learning task. In addition, subjects in the EI condition also received task-specific strategies information prior to the transfer task. Their application of the memory strategies to the transfer task was examined. Results indicated that the main effect of grade was significant for the categorical word-list task but not for the paired-associate task at both learning and transfer phases. In general, subjects in the two experimental conditions (SI and EI) performed better than the subjects in the Control condition, and that the EI subjects out performed the SI subjects. Transfer of the strategies occurred mainly in the EI condition which included the task-specific information. In other words, the more task-specific information subjects received concerning the memory strategies, the more likely they would transfer the strategies appropriately to new learning situations.

description: Recombination through quantum dots (QDs) is a major factor that limits efficiency of QD
intermediate-band (IB) solar cells. Our proposal for a new IB solar cell based on type-II GaSb QDs located “outside”
the depletion region of a GaAs p-n-junction aims to solve this problem. The important advantage of proposed
heterostructure appears due to the “outside” location of IB. Such IB does not assist generation of additional leakage
current flow through the depletion region. Carriers cannot escape from “outside” QDs through the buffer layer and
the depletion region into GaAs substrate by tunneling because QDs are far from the depletion layer. Only solar
photon or thermal assistance may enable electron escape from QDs. Such type-II QD IB solar cell concept promises
an efficiency enhancement relative to that of GaAs solar cells.

description: The search-volume corrected period distribution of contact binaries of the W UMa type appears to reflect primarily the constant number ratio of ~1/500 to the number of stars along the Main Sequence; there exist no evidence for angular momentum evolution. The maximum in contact binary numbers is located at shorter periods than estimated before, P ~ 0.27 d. The drop in numbers towards the cut-off at P ~ 0.215 - 0.22 d still suffers from the small number statistics while the cut-off itself remains unexplained. Only one out of seven short-period ASAS variables with P<0.22 d have been retained in the sample considered here within 8 < V < 13; this short-period field-sky record holder at P=0.2178 d should be studied.

description: On basis of the theorem of a universal shower development stating that a hadronically generated extensive air shower is completely described by the primary energy, the position of the shower maximum and a parameter related to the total muon number, the so-called correlation curve method is developed and applied to KASCADE data. Correlation information of the muon and electron content of showers measured by the KASCADE experiment are used for the reconstruction of energy and mass of primary cosmic rays. Systematic uncertainties of the method and the results are discussed in detail. It is shown that by this method general tendencies in spectrum and composition indeed can be revealed, but the absolute normalization in energy and mass scale requires much more detailed simulations.

Langmuir 2021, PMID: 34647749 [arXiv:2103.13469]. In this study, Mandal and Sen claim to propose a new kinetic model to analyze the directional movement of enzyme molecules in response to a gradient of their substrate, with the supposedly new prediction that net movement occurs up the substrate gradient when the diffusivity of the substrate-bound enzyme is lower than that of the unbound enzyme, and movement down the substrate gradient when the diffusivity of the substrate-bound enzyme is higher than that of the unbound enzyme. They develop this theoretical scheme to present an alternative to our previously published theoretical framework [Agudo-Canalejo, J.; Illien, P.; Golestanian, R. Phoresis and enhanced diffusion compete in enzyme chemotaxis. Nano Lett. 2018, 18, 2711-2717; arXiv:2104.02394]. We demonstrate that despite their claim, what they present is exactly the same theory as our work, and therefore, we conclude that their claim of novelty is unsubstantiated.

description: Energy demand of photovoltaic (PV) systems is an important part of energy sustainability of PV systems. PV systems are considered sustainable energy systems when the produced energy is higher than needed. his paper is using financial learning curve concepts to determine energy demand of main PV modules and systems.
General PV module and PV system energy learning curves are calculated by weighting energy demand of different PV systems according to their share in PV market. Additionally the contribution of module efficiency into energy reduction is considered. Energy payback time (EPBT) and energy return on investment (EROI) in 2010 and 2020 are calculated via energy learning rate.

Discovery of VHE gamma-rays from the distant BL Lac 1ES 0347-121
Creators: name: HESS Collaboration

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Aims: Our aim is to study the production mechanism for very-high-energy (VHE; >100GeV) gamma-rays in distant active galactic nuclei (AGN) and use the observed VHE spectrum to derive limits on the Extragalactic Background Light (EBL). We also want to determine physical quantities through the modeling of the object's broad-band spectral energy distribution (SED). Methods: VHE observations (~25h live time) of the BL Lac 1ES 0347-121 (redshift z=0.188) were conducted with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) between August and December 2006. Contemporaneous X-ray and UV/optical observations from the SWIFT satellite are used to interpret the SED of the source in terms of a synchrotron self Compton (SSC) model. Results: An excess of 327 events, corresponding to a statistical significance of 10.1 standard deviations, is detected from 1ES 0347-121. Its photon spectrum, ranging from ~250GeV to ~3TeV, is well described by a power law with a photon index of Gamma = 3.10 +/- 0.23_stat +/- 0.10_sys. The integral flux above 250GeV corresponds to ~2% of the flux of the Crab Nebula above the same threshold. No VHE flux variability is detected within the data set. Conclusions: Constraints on the EBL density at optical to near-infrared wavelengths derived from the photon spectrum of 1ES 0347-121 are close to the strongest limits derived previously. The strong EBL limits confirm earlier findings, that the EBL density in the near-infrared is close to the lower limits from source counts. This implies that the universe is more transparent to VHE gamma-rays than previously believed. An SSC model provides a reasonable description of the contemporaneous SED.

description: The dominant visual servoing approaches in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) follow single points or adapt the endoscope's field of view based on the surgical tools' distance. These methods rely on point positions with respect to the camera frame to infer a control policy. Deviating from the dominant methods, we formulate a robotic controller that allows for image-based visual servoing that requires neither explicit tool and camera positions nor any explicit image depth information. The proposed method relies on homography-based image registration, which changes the automation paradigm from point-centric towards surgical-scene-centric approach. It simultaneously respects a programmable Remote Center of Motion (RCM). Our approach allows a surgeon to build a graph of desired views, from which, once built, views can be manually selected and automatically servoed to irrespective of robot-patient frame transformation changes. We evaluate our method on an abdominal phantom and provide an open source ROS Moveit integration for use with any serial manipulator.

description: A curved two dimensional electron gas with spin-orbit interactions due to the radial confinement asymmetry is considered. At certain relation between the spin-orbit coupling strength and curvature radius the tangential component of the electron spin becomes a conserved quantity for any spin-independent scattering potential that leads to a number of interesting effects such as persistent spin helix and strong anisotropy of spin relaxation times. The effect proposed can be utilized in the non-ballistic spin-field-effect transistors.

description: This study presents the performance analysis of two twin grid connected PV Systems, installed in two
hellenic areas: the Agricultural University of Athens (37° 59' N, 23° 42' E) and the Technical University of Crete,
Chania (35° 31' N, 24° 04' E). Both installations consist of tandem amorphous and microcrystalline silicon thin film (a-
Si/μ-Si ) solar modules (SHARP NA-F121G5). The nominal power output of each system at STC is 2.178 W. The
performance analysis is drawn on data that have been collected during a two (2) years period (June 2010-May 2012).
The aim of this paper is to present the performance analysis of the previous mentioned PV twin installations.
Additionally comparisons are made between their performances and between the performance of each of them in the
first and the second year of operation under high-temperature subtropical Mediterranean area conditions. To evaluate
the performance of each PV system some important normalized parameters such as yields, losses and efficiencies are
computed. These parameters include the final yield (YF), the reference yield (YR), the array yield (YA), the performance
ratio (PR) ,the PV array efficiency (nPV), the system efficiency (nsys), the inverter efficiency (ninv) . The Array capture
losses (Lc) and System losses (Ls) were also calculated.

description: We study the group of automorphisms of Shimura curves $X_0(D, N)$ attached to an Eichler order of square-free level $N$ in an indefinite rational quaternion algebra of discriminant $D>1$. We prove that, when the genus $g$ of the curve is greater than or equal to 2, $\Aut (X_0(D, N))$ is a 2-elementary abelian group which contains the group of Atkin-Lehner involutions $W_0(D, N)$ as a subgroup of index 1 or 2. It is conjectured that $\Aut (X_0(D, N)) = W_0(D, N)$ except for finitely many values of $(D, N)$ and we provide criteria that allow us to show that this is indeed often the case. Our methods are based on the theory of complex multiplication of Shimura curves and the Cerednik-Drinfeld theory on their rigid analytic uniformization at primes $p\mid D$.

description: Dropout has been demonstrated as a simple and effective module to not only regularize the training process of deep neural networks, but also provide the uncertainty estimation for prediction. However, the quality of uncertainty estimation is highly dependent on the dropout probabilities. Most current models use the same dropout distributions across all data samples due to its simplicity. Despite the potential gains in the flexibility of modeling uncertainty, sample-dependent dropout, on the other hand, is less explored as it often encounters scalability issues or involves non-trivial model changes. In this paper, we propose contextual dropout with an efficient structural design as a simple and scalable sample-dependent dropout module, which can be applied to a wide range of models at the expense of only slightly increased memory and computational cost. We learn the dropout probabilities with a variational objective, compatible with both Bernoulli dropout and Gaussian dropout. We apply the contextual dropout module to various models with applications to image classification and visual question answering and demonstrate the scalability of the method with large-scale datasets, such as ImageNet and VQA 2.0. Our experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms baseline methods in terms of both accuracy and quality of uncertainty estimation.

description: Photovoltaic (PV) will be one of the most important energy sources in the future. Deciding which fraction of energy supply PV can occupy in the future, not only the calculation of the energy amount PV systems can produce is needed but also the energy demand of PV systems to build them is required. This paper includes an energy scenario from 1970 to 2050 which is generated by using energy learning curves of PV systems and the solar breeder
concept. The calculation shows how much net energy PV systems delivered in the past and can deliver in the future. In the next step also wind power and hydro power are considered within the solar breeder concept and furthermore after 2010 the additional energy demand for storage is considered being necessary when PV and wind power plants will become an important part in energy supply.

description: The nature of polyamorphism and amorphous-to-amorphous transition is investigated by means of an exactly solvable model with quenched disorder, the spherical s+p multi-spin interaction model. The analysis is carried out in the framework of Replica Symmetry Breaking theory and leads to the identification of low temperature glass phases of different kinds. Besides the usual `one-step' solution, known to reproduce all basic properties of structural glasses, also a physically consistent `two-step' solution arises. More complicated phases are found as well, as temperature is further decreased, expressing a complex variety of metastable states structures for amorphous systems.

Numerical investigation of lenses with substructures using the perturbative method

description: We present a statistical study of the effects induced by substructures on the deflection potential of dark matter halos in the strong lensing regime. This investigation is based on the pertubative solution around the Einstein radius (Alard 2007) in which all the information on the deflection potential is specified by only a pair of one-dimensional functions on this ring. Using direct comparison with ray-tracing solutions, we found that the iso-contours of lensed images predicted by the pertubative solution is reproduced with a mean error on their radial extension of less than 1% - in units of the Einstein radius, for reasonable substructure masses. It demonstrates the efficiency of the approximation to track possible signatures of substructures. We have evaluated these two fields and studied their properties for different lens configurations modelled either through massive dark matter halos from a cosmological N-body simulation, or via toy models of Monte Carlo distribution of substructures embedded in a triaxial Hernquist potential. As expected, the angular power spectra of these two fields tend to have larger values for larger harmonic numbers when substructures are accounted for and they can be approximated by power-laws, whose values are fitted as a function of the profile and the distribution of the substructures.

description: This paper investigates the fracture strength of diamond wire sawn multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) wafers and their relationship to diamond wire sawing induced defects such as saw marks and micro-cracks. The fracture strength of wafers is analyzed using the conventional Weibull plot, and a two-dimensional (2D) strength
distribution map that enables a direct correlation of the fracture strength with surface and sub-surface defects induced
by the sawing process. It is found that the fracture strength of diamond wire sawn wafers is highly bi-directional. Higher fracture strength is measured when the wafer samples are bent perpendicular to the saw marks, while lower fracture strength is obtained if they are bent parallel to the sawing marks. The difference in fracture strength between the two orientations is almost twice the fracture strength in the parallel orientation. The variation in fracture strength is attributed to diamond wire sawing induced surface defects. The bi-directional strength characteristic suggests the need for further improvements to the diamond wire sawing process.
