description: Motivated by results of the topological theory of glasses accounting for geometric frustration, we develop the simplest possible continuum mechanical model of defect dynamics in metallic glasses that accounts for topological, energetic, and kinetic ideas. The model is aimed towards the development of a microscopic understanding of the plasticity of such materials. We discuss the expected predictive capabilities of the model vis-a-vis some observed physical behaviors of metallic glasses.

description: We present observations towards a high-mass ($\rm >40\,M_{\odot}$), low luminosity ($\rm <10\,L_{\odot}$) $\rm 70\,μ$m dark molecular core G 28.34 S-A at 3.4 mm, using the IRAM 30 m telescope and the NOEMA interferometer. We report the detection of $\rm SiO$ $J=\rm 2\rightarrow1$ line emission, which is spatially resolved in this source at a linear resolution of $\sim$0.1 pc, while the 3.4 mm continuum image does not resolve any internal sub-structures. The SiO emission exhibits two W-E oriented lobes centring on the continuum peak. Corresponding to the red-shifted and blue-shifted gas with velocities up to $\rm 40\,km\,s^{-1}$ relative to the quiescent cloud, these lobes clearly indicate the presence of a strong bipolar outflow from this $\rm 70\,μ$m dark core, a source previously considered as one of the best candidates of "starless" core. Our SiO detection is consistent with ALMA archival data of $\rm SiO$ $J=\rm 5\rightarrow4$, whose high-velocity blue-shifted gas reveals a more compact lobe spatially closer to the dust center. This outflow indicates that the central source may be in an early evolutionary stage of forming a high-mass protostar. We also find that the low-velocity components (in the range of $\rm V_{lsr}$$\rm_{-5}^{+3}\,km\,s^{-1}$) have an extended, NW-SE oriented distribution. Discussing the possible accretion scenarios of the outflow-powering young stellar object, we argue that the molecular line emission and the molecular outflows may provide a better indication of the accretion history when forming young stellar object, than that from a snapshot observations of the present bolometric luminosity. This is particularly significant for the cases of episodic accretion, which may occur during the collapse of the parent molecular core.

description: We report investigations on the statistical characteristics of the baby names given between 1910 and 2010 in the United States of America. For each year, the 100 most frequent names in the USA are sorted out. For these names, the correlations between the names profiles are calculated for all pairs of states (minus Hawaii and Alaska). The correlations are used to form a weighted network which is found to vary mildly in time. In fact, the structure of communities in the network remains quite stable till about 1980. The goal is that the calculated structure approximately reproduces the usually accepted geopolitical regions: the North East, the South, and the "Midwest + West" as the third one. Furthermore, the dataset reveals that the name distribution satisfies the Zipf law, separately for each state and each year, i.e. the name frequency $f\propto r^{-α}$, where r is the name rank. Between 1920 and 1980, the exponent alpha is the largest one for the set of states classified as 'the South', but the smallest one for the set of states classified as "Midwest + West". Our interpretation is that the pool of selected names was quite narrow in the Southern states. The data is compared with some related statistics of names in Belgium, a country also with different regions, but having quite a different scale than the USA. There, the Zipf exponent is low for young people and for the Brussels citizens.

description: We present recent polarimetric results of magnetically active late-type dwarfs. The polarization in these stars is found to be wavelength dependent, decreasing towards the longer wavelength. The average values of degree of polarization in these active dwarfs are found to be 0.16+/-0.01, 0.080+/-0.006, 0.056+/-0.004 and 0.042+/-0.003 per cent in B, V, R, and I bands, respectively. Present results indicate that polarization in the majority of active dwarfs are primarily due to sum of the polarization by magnetic intensification and scattering. However, supplementary sources of the polarization are also found to be present in some active stars. The correlations between the degree of polarization and various activity parameters like Rossby number, chromospheric activity indicator and coronal activity indicator are found to be stronger in B band and weaker in I band.

description: Inappropriate prescribing remains highly prevalent on geriatric units. The aim of this investigation, initiated by the Belgian College for Geriatrics, was to evaluate the implementation of strategies to optimize pharmacotherapy on geriatric units in Belgium. A literature search was performed to identify strategies to support the appropriate use of medications in very old inpatients. These strategies were subsequently validated based on Delphi consensus rounds and a national survey was developed. Experts were selected by the research team in collaboration with the Belgian College for Geriatrics. The survey was sent to the heads of the geriatric departments of all Belgian hospitals (n = 100). After 3 months a response rate of 55% was achieved. Strategies that were implemented more frequently were the use of electronic prescribing (85%), performing a structured medication review (69%) and providing patient education (76%). In a minority (24%) of hospitals, a clinical pharmacist was directly involved in the multidisciplinary geriatric team. Implementation of clinical decisions support systems (CDSS) was reported by 36% of the hospitals. Educational strategies for healthcare professionals and strategies to optimize transitional care were variable. Taking into account the current body of evidence, strategies that include transitional care components, CDSS or ward-based clinical pharmacy services should be further promoted on Belgian geriatric units.

Silicon Solar Cell Improvements

description: Polarization or the potential induced degradation effect (PID) on crystalline silicon moduls is an alarming
failure mode on modern crystalline silicon cells meeting high system voltages [1-4]. It can cause power losses in the
vicinity 30% and more. Known parameters for PID on the cell level are high electrical resistivity of the SiNx antireflective
coating via low refractive index and increased thickness and low emitter depth.
In this work we investigate the Polarization effect in regards to degradation speed on different encapsulants and module
designs and with a special focus on selective emitter cells. The aim is a better understanding of the effect to propose
appropriate test procedures for crystalline silicon cells and modules. For this purpose, different cells and modules have
undergone various test sequences comparing different module materials and components.

Different treatment combinations are now in use and other therapies are being developed. Based on an extensive review of the recent literature, we propose practical recommendations on myeloma management, to be used by hematologists as a reference for daily practice.

description: The helical Dirac fermions on the surface of topological insulators host novel relativistic quantum phenomena in solids. Manipulating spins of topological surface state (TSS) represents an essential step towards exploring the theoretically predicted exotic states related to time reversal symmetry (TRS) breaking via magnetism or magnetic field. Understanding Zeeman effect of TSS and determining its g-factor are pivotal for such manipulations in the latter form of TRS breaking. Here, we report those direct experimental observations in Bi2Se3 and Sb2Te2Se by spectroscopic imaging scanning tunneling microscopy. The Zeeman shifting of zero mode Landau level is identified unambiguously by judiciously excluding the extrinsic influences associated with the non-linearity in the TSS band dispersion and the spatially varying potential. The g-factors of TSS in Bi2Se3 and Sb2Te2Se are determined to be 18 and -6, respectively. This remarkable material dependence opens a new route to control the spins in the TSS.

description: We study the correction of errors intervening in two-qubit dissipating into their own environments. This is done by resorting to local feedback actions with the aim of preserving as much as possible the initial amount of entanglement. Optimal control is found by first gaining insights from the subsystem purity and then by numerical analysis on the concurrence. This is tantamount to a double optimization, on the actuation and on the measurement processes. Repeated feedback action is also investigated, thus paving the way for a continuous time formulation and solution of the problem.

description: In order to improve the efficiency of multi-crystalline (mc)-silicon solar cells, laser ablation as a noncontact tool is highly suitable for various processes. Apart from the laser and scanning parameters frequently reported
in the literature, other factors exist upon which the observable results of laser edge isolation depend. In addition to
laser and scanning parameters, the influence of various atmospheres on the laser edge isolation process is investigated
in this work. The impact on the dopant concentration in the generated laser groove is investigated with reference to
the shunt resistance of the solar cells. Furthermore remaining oxygen concentrations are measured in the ablation
groove by EDX. These results yield an improved understanding of the impact of oxygen concentration in the ambient
air during laser edge isolation. From these investigations the most suitable laser is determined as well as ambient
parameters for the ablation of mc-silicon.

description: 19th European Weed Research Society Conference, Athens, Greece, 20-23 June 2022 This work raises the questions, is the relay intercropping of subsidiary legumes with durum wheat a sustainable intercropping practice from an economic point of view? Which subsidiary legume among Medicago sativa, Trifolium repens, Hedysarum coronarium, Medicago lupulina, Trifolium incarnatum, Trifolium resupinatum; Trifolium subterraneum, and Medicago polymorpha maximize the profitability of relay intecropping in a low-input cereal based Mediterranean cropping system? Therefore, an assessment was performed to evaluate the economic sustainability of several subsidiary legumes for relay intercropping with durum wheat, taking into account the impact of legumes on the co-cultivated wheat and to the subsequent forage sorghum. A 2-years plot experiment was carried out in Pisa (Tuscany) in a complete randomized block design with 4 replications. Legumes were sown in the already established wheat in late winter. After the wheat harvest legumes were maintained in the field until the subsequent spring and incorporated into the soil by plowing. Forage sorghum was sown for the evaluation of the residual effects of each legume on the subsequent crop. Gross Income (GI) was calculated for wheat and sorghum as the difference between the Gross Production Value (GPV) and the total production costs (C). The overall economic impact of relay intercropping in a wheat-sorghum rotation was estimated by the calculation of the cumulative GI. Results of this study reveal that relay intercropping reduces profitability of the co-cultivated durum wheat because the productive advantages do not cover the additional costs due to the inter-sowing operations. After the wheat harvest the presence of legumes in the field ensure a good weed control and potentially allows to reduce tillage and herbicides application with an estimated save of 195 €/ha compared to the conventional management. The gross income of sorghum preceded by these legumes is higher compared to the control and it can be up to 955 €/ha. According to the legume choice, relay intercropping of legumes demonstrated to satisfy nutritional requirements for the subsequent sorghum and allows to reduce the input costs up to 253 €/ha. H. coronarium and T. repens were identified as the best performing legumes from an economic point of view. For these legumes the costs due to the relay intercropping were balanced by the ecosystem services that they provide at crop rotation level.

description: Ensuring privacy of users of social networks is probably an unsolvable conundrum. At the same time, an informed use of the existing privacy options by the social network participants may alleviate - or even prevent - some of the more drastic privacy-averse incidents. Unfortunately, recent surveys show that an average user is either not aware of these options or does not use them, probably due to their perceived complexity. It is therefore reasonable to believe that tools assisting users with two tasks: 1) understanding their social net behavior in terms of their privacy settings and broad privacy categories, and 2)recommending reasonable privacy options, will be a valuable tool for everyday privacy practice in a social network context. This paper presents YourPrivacyProtector, a recommender system that shows how simple machine learning techniques may provide useful assistance in these two tasks to Facebook users. We support our claim with empirical results of application of YourPrivacyProtector to two groups of Facebook users.

description: The reduction of solar electricity costs is absolutely necessary for the further growth and success of the
Photovoltaic. For that reason the reduction in costs is the primary objective of all manufacturers of system
components for photovoltaic power generation. The deciding factor is a holistic view of system costs. In addition to
the investment costs of all components of a photovoltaic system, all life-related costs, such as for installation, service
and maintenance, have to be reduced. The exclusive view on the specific costs of the photovoltaic modules or
inverter is often practiced but doesn’t go far enough. This article shows how an integration of distributed functions of
the photovoltaic system into the inverter does increase the specific costs of this component, but furthermore reduces
the total system cost (the Total Costs of Ownership).

description: We introduce the notion of $λ$-equivalence and $λ$-embeddings of objects in suitable categories. This notion specializes to $L_{\inftyλ}$-equivalence and $L_{\inftyλ}$-elementary embedding for categories of structures in a language of arity less than $λ$, and interacts well with functors and $λ$-directed colimits. We recover and extend results of Feferman and Eklof on "local functors" without fixing a language in advance. This is convenient for formalizing Lefschetz's principle in algebraic geometry, which was one of the main applications of the work of Eklof.

description: We report the broad-band spectral properties of the X-ray pulsar Cep X-4 by using a Suzaku observation in 2014 July. The 0.8-70 keV spectrum was found to be well described by three continuum models - Negative and Positive power-law with Exponential cutoff (NPEX), high energy cutoff power-law and CompTT models. Additional components such as a cyclotron line at $\sim$28 keV and two Gaussian components for iron lines at 6.4 and 6.9 keV were required in the spectral fitting. Apart from these, an additional absorption feature at $\sim$45 keV was clearly detected in residuals obtained from the spectral fitting. This additional feature at $\sim$45 keV was clearly seen in phase-resolved spectra of the pulsar. We identified this feature as the first harmonic of the fundamental cyclotron line at $\sim$28 keV. The ratio between the first harmonic and fundamental line energies (1.7) was found to be in disagreement with the conventional factor of 2, indicating that the heights of line forming regions are different or viewed at larger angles. The phase-resolved spectroscopy of the fundamental and first harmonic cyclotron lines shows significant pulse-phase variation of the line parameters. This can be interpreted as the effect of viewing angle or the role of complicated magnetic field of the pulsar.

the opportunity to increase the efficiency of silicon thin film solar cells by additional cell layers. In this study the
effects of sequence layers, cell temperatures and band gap combinations for the efficiency of multi-spectral solar cells
was considered. A new promising cell concept with three active layer (a-Si:H/;µc-Si:H/ and ;µc-Ge:H) was found by
comparison of real material parameters with the result of our simulation. Advanced modeling was required to
calculate the EQE and photocurrent generation form this triple junction solar cell and demonstrate the feasibility of
our new cell concept.

description: Broadband microwave spectroscopy has been performed on single-crystalline GaV$_4$S$_8$, which exhibits a complex magnetic phase diagram including cycloidal, Néel-type skyrmion lattice, as well as field-polarized ferromagnetic phases below 13 K. At zero and small magnetic fields two collective modes are found at 5 and 15 GHz, which are characteristic of the cycloidal state in this easy-axis magnet. In finite fields, entering the skyrmion lattice phase, the spectrum transforms into a multi-mode pattern with absorption peaks near 4, 8, and 15 GHz. The spin excitation spectra in GaV$_4$S$_8$ and their field dependencies are found to be in close relation to those observed in materials with Bloch-type skyrmions. Distinct differences arise from the strong uniaxial magnetic anisotropy of GaV4S8 not present in so-far known skyrmion hosts.

description: The orbit of Mercury has large values of eccentricity and inclination that cannot be easily explained if this planet formed on a circular and coplanar orbit. Here, we study the evolution of Mercury's orbit during the instability related to the migration of the giant planets in the framework of the jumping Jupiter model. We found that some instability models are able to produce the correct values of Mercury's eccentricity and inclination, provided that relativistic effects are included in the precession of Mercury's perihelion. The orbital excitation is driven by the fast change of the normal oscillation modes of the system corresponding to the perihelion precession of Jupiter (for the eccentricity), and the nodal regression of Uranus (for the inclination).

description: Multicrystalline and amorphous silicon photovoltaic modules are exposed to real sun conditions in a

Working in this way, we get information about the performance of modules and the corresponding environmental
conditions (Irradiance, temperatures, wind speed,…). With this information, we have done a calculation of the
electrical production for each module during this period. Also we have defined a “performance index” to reflect how
close the module power output is to the ideal power that would develop according to the irradiance.

supply from solar photovoltaic systems, considering the Feed-In-Tariff of the Ontario Power Authority, is
proposed. Analysis of these energy systems incorporates the historical usage data, with the facility load
characteristics of the components, within these systems. The historical usage and simulated distribution of
energy demand by devices provide a useful tool for reduction or possible elimination of the problem of surplus
baseload generation. By adopting this bottom-up approach, demand forecasting based on independent modeling
of end-user’s facility characteristics and meteorological conditions will enhance the capability of the Province’s

description: This research utilised research findings to critically evaluate how cross-cultural marketing influences and impacts customers’ expectations and service quality in the hotel hospitality industry, through a comparative study of the UK and Indian hotels’ industries. Cross-cultural marketing in the hotel hospitality industry is still a developing aspect of hotel management, especially in the modern global culturally diverse community. In accordance with successful strategies in cultural diversity marketing and for business growth, hoteliers need to learn, analyze and understand the expectations of customers from different cultural backgrounds. Therefore, there is a need to understand and develop a framework accounting for the work of monocultural and multicultural hotel teams in India and the UK that is oriented to customers’ satisfaction and provide appropriate recommendations for practice. The research employed both deductive and inductive research approaches. The mix methods design of this study was implemented through qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis methods. The data collection process used involved online surveys filled in by 136 customers in the UK and India, surveys (structured questionnaires), and face-to-face interviews have been completed with 10 managers/employees in the UK and 23 in India. The contribution this research makes is the culturally sensitive framework for informing cross-cultural strategy. Research findings reveal differing expectations of customers from different cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds as measured by five elements of the SERVQUAL scale, which was further analysed in the framework of the five CVSCALE dimensions. The findings were related to hoteliers to help them to develop culturally diverse and human-oriented cross-cultural departments in the hotels. Customers-oriented services intensified by the technological innovations determine the zone of impact of the Cross-Cultural Marketing Model. Developed marketing strategies are based on the higher satisfaction level of customers in Indian hotels and better technological equipment in the hospitality industry of the UK. The main recommendations for hoteliers’ concerns learning about diverse customers’ expectations, the SERVQUAL’s constituents upgrade, and overall information about the hotels with culturally marked services provision.

description: Some layers of thin film photovoltaic modules maybe critically sensitive to moisture. In this study we
present a new tool for monitoring the effect of moisture using a particular Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) as a
sensor. The moisture content of the encapsulant was determined by Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR)
spectroscopic measurements. The TCO resistivity was measured using an inductive method. The different
spectroscopic results show that the diffusion of water vapour in the encapsulant used in this study is in good
agreement with Fick’s law and correlate well with the increase of resistivity of the TCO. However, the transport
measurements bring evidence for a degradation of the TCO resistivity undetectable by conventional FTIR
measurements.

description: We search for meridional variation in the abundance of CH$_3$D relative to CH$_4$ on Titan using near-IR spectra obtained with NIRSPAO at Keck, which have a photon-limited signal-to-noise ratio of $\sim$50. Our observations can rule out a larger than 10% variation in the column of CH$_3$D below 50 km. The preferential condensation of the heavy isotopologues will fractionate methane by reducing CH$_3$D in the remaining vapor, and therefore these observations place limits on the amount of condensation that occurs in the troposphere. While previous estimates of CH$_3$D fractionation on Titan have estimated an upper limit of -6 per mil, assuming a solid condensate, we consider more recent laboratory data for the equilibrium fractionation over liquid methane, and use a Rayleigh distillation model to calculate fractionation in an ascending parcel of air that is following a moist adiabat. We find that deep, precipitating convection can enhance the fractionation of the remaining methane vapor by -10 to -40 per mil, depending on the final temperature of the rising parcel. By relating fractionation of our reference parcel model to the pressure level where the moist adiabat achieves the required temperature, we argue that the measured methane fractionation constrains the outflow level for a deep convective event. Observations with a factor of at least 4 to 6 times larger signal-to-noise are required to detect this amount of fractionation, depending on the altitude range over which the outflow from deep convection occurs.

description: Prospective owners/investors are concerned that any modification of the regulatory framework of the
photovoltaic grid-connected systems (PVGCS) may affect the profitability and cost of their investment in the
PVGCS. Hence, an economic and cost analysis of the PVGCS on buildings addressed to ascertain the influence of
the new regulatory framework on the PVGCS profitability and cost is demanded and welcome. Consequently, an
economic and cost analysis has been carried out in this paper. The profitability indices for the economic analysis used
in this paper are the Net Present Value (NPV), the Discounted Payback Time (DPBT) and the Internal Rate of Return
(IRR). The cost analysis has been done through the concept: levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) in order to compare
the PV generation with other sources of electricity. Firstly, it has been evaluated the photovoltaic potential of the
Campus of the University of Jaén and it has been defined potential areas where the PV systems could be installed
according to power and space requirements as well as the electrical configuration of the Campus. The analysis of the
PV potential is the previous step to carry out cost, economic and financial analysis for implementing the photovoltaic
grid-connected systems in these buildings and areas. The results obtained in the economic and financial analysis
recommend the implementation of PVGCS as the net internal rate of return ranges from 6 to 7%, positive net present
value, discounted payback time ranges from 14 to 16 years and financial feasibility in all the PV systems considered.
Additionally, the LCOE of the grid-connected PV systems is estimated to be around 0.14 €/kWh.

description: During the next 100 years the Earth’s climate will undergo notable change caused by emissions of greenhouse
gases and aerosols. We calculate the likely change in energy output for both photovoltaic (PV) and concentratingphotovoltaic
(CPV) technologies at selected regions from predicted trends in temperature and direct and diffuse
insolation obtained from state of the art climate models. Our calculations indicate that PV output from 2010 to
2080 is likely to increase by a few percent in continental Europe and China, see little change in Algeria and
Australia, and decrease by a few percent in western USA and Saudi Arabia. CPV output from 2010 to 2080 is
likely to increase by almost 10% in continental Europe, increase by several percent in China, increase by a few
percent in Algeria and Australia, and decrease by a few percent in western USA and Saudi Arabia. The results are
robust to uncertainty in projected temperature change. A qualitative analysis of uncertainty in projected insolation
change suggests strongest confidence in the results for Europe and least confidence in the results for western
USA. Changes in output are further studied by calculating fractional contributions from temperature and insolation.

description: The effects of long term instability (LTI) of irradiance according to IEC 60904-9 were investigated.
Specifically, I-V curves of crystalline silicon cells from multiple manufacturers were measured with LTI varying
across a wide range of values. From the measurements, LTI had only a slight effect on the measured parameters and
only when the LTI was at its highest tested value.

description: As new facilities come online, the astronomical community will be provided with extremely large datasets of well-sampled light curves (LCs) of transient objects. This motivates systematic studies of the light curves of supernovae (SNe) of all types, including the early rising phase. We performed unsupervised k-means clustering on a sample of 59 R-band Type II SN light curves and find that our sample can be divided into three classes: slowly-rising (II-S), fast-rise/slow-decline (II-FS), and fast-rise/fast-decline (II-FF). We also identify three outliers based on the algorithm. We find that performing clustering on the first two components of a principal component analysis gives equivalent results to the analysis using the full LC morphologies. This may indicate that Type II LCs could possibly be reduced to two parameters. We present several important caveats to the technique, and find that the division into these classes is not fully robust and is sensitive to the uncertainty on the time of first light. Moreover these classes have some overlap, and are defined in the R-band only. It is currently unclear if they represent distinct physical classes, and more data is needed to study these issues. However, our analysis shows that the outliers are actually composed of slowly-evolving SN IIb, demonstrating the potential use of such methods. The slowly-evolving SNe IIb may arise from single massive progenitors.

description: The quark-meson coupling model due to Guichon is formulated on the basis of the independent quark model of the nucleon proposed by Bogoliubov and is applied to the phenomenological descriptions of symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter. For symmetric matter, the model predicts, at saturation density, the incompressibility $K=335.17$ MeV, the quark effective mass $m_q^*=238.5$ MeV, and the effective nucleon mass $M^*= 0.76 M,$ where $M$ is the nucleon mass in vacuum. Neutron star massesabove two solar masses are obtained.

description: We have developed a new type of particle identification device, called an Aerogel Ring Imaging Cherenkov (ARICH) counter, for the Belle II experiment. It uses silica aerogel tiles as Cherenkov radiators. For detection of Cherenkov photons, Hybrid Avalanche Photo-Detectors (HAPDs) are used. The designed HAPD has a high sensitivity to single photons under a strong magnetic field. We have confirmed that the HAPD provides high efficiency for single-photon detection even after exposure to neutron and gamma-ray radiation that exceeds the levels expected in the 10-year Belle II operation. In order to confirm the basic performance of the ARICH counter system, we carried out a beam test at the DESY using a prototype of the ARICH counter with six HAPD modules. The results are in agreement with our expectations and confirm the suitability of the ARICH counter for the Belle II experiment. Based on the in-beam performance of the device, we expect that the identification efficiency at 3.5 GeV/c is 97.4% and 4.9% for pions and kaons, respectively. This paper summarizes the development of the HAPD for the ARICH and the evaluation of the performance of the prototype ARICH counter built with the final design components.
