description: We theoretically investigate the coefficient of performance (COP) of a mesoscopic thermoelectric refrigerator realized by using a tunnel junction. We analyze the influence of particle and heat current fluctuations on the COP out of the equilibrium regime. We calculate the average COP by using full counting statistics and find that it depends on the measurement time $τ$. The deviation from the macroscopic COP value can be expressed with the Skellam distribution at all times. This result enables us to improve the Gaussian approximation valid within the linear response regime, which cannot predict the average COP in the limit of $τ\to 0$. We illustrate the time dependence of the average COP and find that in the short-time regime, the average COP possesses a minimum. In order to confirm the physical consistency far from equilibrium, we propose checking the correlation coefficient between the particle and the heat currents in addition to the positivity of the entropy production rate.

description: During autoimmunity or organ transplant rejection, the immune system attacks host or transplanted tissue, causing debilitating inflammation for millions of patients. There is no cure for most of these diseases. Further, available therapies modulate inflammation through nonspecific pathways, reducing symptoms but also compromising patients’ ability to mount healthy immune responses. Recent preclinical advances to regulate immune dysfunction with vaccine-like antigen specificity reveal exciting opportunities to address the root cause of autoimmune diseases and transplant rejection. Several of these therapies are currently undergoing clinical trials, underscoring the promise of antigen-specific tolerance. Achieving antigen-specific tolerance requires precision and often combinatorial delivery of antigen, cytokines, small molecule drugs, and other immunomodulators. This can be facilitated by biomaterial technologies, which can be engineered to orient and display immunological cues, protect against degradation, and selectively deliver signals to specific tissues or cell populations. In this review, some key immune cell populations involved in autoimmunity and healthy immune tolerance are described. Opportunities for drug delivery to immunological organs are discussed, where specialized tissue-resident immune cells can be programmed to respond in unique ways toward antigens. Finally, cell- and biomaterial-based therapies to induce antigen-specific immune tolerance that are currently undergoing clinical trials are highlighted.

description: High efficiency PV devices are more complicated also from a system point of view than devices based on single band gap PN junctions. This makes modeling and simulation an important issue. The present paper presents two approaches; one is based on circuit models that are solved numerically whereas the other is analytical. Comparative simulations on hypothetical cells show that the maximum power of a composite mulitijunction device can never reach the sum of the power levels of the individual junctions at their optimum performance (spectrum splitting). The two modeling approaches complement each other, and may be used for analyzing larger systems.

description: Routine public health surveillance of notifiable infectious diseases gives rise to weekly counts of reported cases -- possibly stratified by region and/or age group. We investigate how an age-structured social contact matrix can be incorporated into a spatio-temporal endemic-epidemic model for infectious disease counts. To illustrate the approach, we analyze the spread of norovirus gastroenteritis over 6 age groups within the 12 districts of Berlin, 2011-2015, using contact data from the POLYMOD study. The proposed age-structured model outperforms alternative scenarios with homogeneous or no mixing between age groups. An extended contact model suggests a power transformation of the survey-based contact matrix towards more within-group transmission.

description: In order to reduce the fluctuation of PV power output, researches on installation of storage batteries to PV power generation have been conducted. If the fluctuation of PV power output can be forecasted beforehand, it is possible to more efficiently perform the charge and discharge control of batteries. In our research, we apply a simple black box modeling, i.e., Just-In-Time Modeling, to the forecast of PV power output. In the modeling, we adopt the past meteorologic data as inputs, and forecast how PV power output fluctuates t later.
Through computational simulations, we confirmed the validation of Just-In-Time Modeling against the short-term forecast of PV power output.

description: By interacting ghost dark energy (ghost DE) in the framework of Brans-Dicke theory, a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type I Universe has been studied. For this purpose, we use the squared sound speed $c_s^2$ whose sign determines the stability of the model. As well as we probe observational constraints on the ghost dark energy models as the unification of dark matter and dark energy by using the latest observational data. In order to do so, we focus on observational determinations of the Hubble expansion rate (namely, the expansion history) $H(z)$. After that we evaluate the evolution of the growth of perturbations in the linear regime for both ghost DE and Brans-Dicke theory and compare the results with standard FRW and $Λ$CDM models. We display the effects of the anisotropy on the evolutionary behavior the ghost DE models where the growth rate is higher in this models. Eventually the growth factor for the $Λ$CDM Universe will always fall behind the ghost DE models in an anisotropic Universe

description: Guided by translanguaging pedagogy, this study examines how monolingual English teachers in a Pre-K school in China navigate between English and Chinese to construct a translanguaging classroom. Findings based on classroom observations and interviews reveal that, despite being constrained by their monolingualism, the English teachers enacted translanguaging in multiple ways creating three translanguaging components: translanguaging assistance, translanguaging assessment, and translanguaging showcases. Translanguaging assistance enables children to learn English with the assistance of their first language; translanguaging assessment evaluates children's English language skills within a spectrum of multilingual funds of knowledge, and translanguaging showcases define strategic activities to unlock children's full linguistic repertoires, activate their creative voices, and let their bilingualism shine. This study provides pedagogical guidelines that balance the goal of learning a language and developing children's bilingualism through an iterative enactment of the three translanguaging components.

description: Tiere und Medien beziehungsweise der Begriff des Medi-ums sind in vielfachen Weisen aufeinander bezogen. So sind Tiere in der Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte oft Bedeu-tungsvehikel. Sie haben daher in Bezug auf diese Bedeu-tungen Vermittlerfunktionen. Zudem sind Tiere in medizini-schen oder militärischen Experimenten Versuchsobjekte, in Fabeln werden sie als vermenschlichte Lehrmeister dargestellt und als Haustiere nehmen sie die Rolle von Kommunikationspartnern ein. In unterschiedlichen Religio-nen sind sie als Opfer, Totem oder Personifizierungen von Göttern dem übersinnlichen Bereich zugeordnet. An der Fleischtheke hingegen bilden sie einen Teil der profanen Warenwelt. Wenn Tieren von Philosophen wie Descartes jedes Gefühl abgesprochen wird, werden sie noch im Todeskampf zu bloßen Trägern physikalischer Vorgänge. In Gestalt der Lila Kuh fungieren sie als Werbeträger, während die transgene Maus in der Biotechnologie zur genormten Größe wird. Informationsträger sind Tierkörper außerdem für die Ingenieure der Bionik oder für Compu-terexperten, die sich mit einem Trojanischen Pferd kon-frontiert sehen. Die Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Konzept des Tiers beziehungsweise realen Tieren einerseits und dem Kon-zept des Mediums beziehungsweise Medien andererseits werden in den folgenden Beiträgen mit unterschiedlichem historischem sowie gattungsspezifischem Fokus erörtert.

description: We will give a definition for "economically reasonable solar cells" and discuss some very general properties of such cells. The only reason, why probably most of the commercially available solar cells and nearly all solar cells which we have investigated with CELLO fulfill these conditions is that everybody wants to sell or buy only such solar cells. The two basic statements for economically reasonable solar cells are that (independent of the serial resistance network) all local diode resistances add up in parallel to the inverse global diode resistance and that
(independent of the local diode resistances) all local serial resistances add up to the global serial resistance. As a result of the modelling of the serial resistance network both statements can be summarized in one statement which is not so intuitive as the above ones but which opens the path to a quite universal procedure to calculate quantitative maps from the measurement result of a large number of measurement tools: the voltage distribution across a solar cell is a linear function of the solar cell area.

description: With lighttrapping the pathlength of radiation in a solar cell can be increased. Photonic structures show exceptional optical properties, such as angular or energy selective reflectivity. In this study we discuss how these properties
can be used for a very efficient lighttrapping. We present a method in which an angular selective photonic structure in combination with a scattering device is used to increase the pathlength of radiation in a solar cell. In a first example we use this mechanism to increase the absorption close to the band edge in a silicon solar cell. We discuss the mechanisms leading to an angular dependent reflection for many photonic crystals and present simulations and measurements of different photonic crystals that show an angular selective characteristic. Finally we present first measurements that show an increased
absorption in a silicon wafer for the predicted spectral region.

description: We analyze the nature of Mott metal-insulator transition in multiorbital systems using dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). The auxiliary multiorbital quantum impurity problem is solved using continuous time quantum Monte Carlo (CTQMC) and the rotationally invariant slave-boson (RISB) mean field approximation. We focus our analysis on the Kanamori Hamiltonian and find that there are two markedly different regimes determined by the nature of the lowest energy excitations of the atomic Hamiltonian. The RISB results at $T\to0$ suggest the following rule of thumb for the order of the transition at zero temperature: a second order transition is to be expected if the lowest lying excitations of the atomic Hamiltonian are charge excitations, while the transition tends to be first order if the lowest lying excitations are in the same charge sector as the atomic ground state. At finite temperatures the transition is first order and its strength, as measured e.g. by the jump in the quasiparticle weight at the transition, is stronger in the parameter regime where the RISB method predicts a first order transition at zero temperature. Interestingly, these results seem to apply to a wide variety of models and parameter regimes.

description: The efficiency enhancement of surface barrier heterostructure (SBH) of metal-semiconductor type, h µ Jsc ×Voc has been theoretically analyzed with taking into account surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) excitation on the periodically textured interface. Due to enhancement of light transmittance into absorber layer of SBH in the case of anticorrelated relief, the short-circuit current can be increased up to twice. Besides, the internal quantum efficiency Qi(l) has been calculated in the 1D model, and influence of both surface recombination rate and velocity of major carriers emission into emitter, have been analyzed. The last leads to some decrease of the open-circuit voltage Voc. However, increase of the solar cell (SC) efficiency due to surface plasmon polaritons excitation in
corrugated front metal film prevails essentially.

Ocean g-modes on transient neutron stars

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The neutron star ocean is a plasma of ions and electrons that extends from the base of the neutron star's envelope to a depth where the plasma crystallizes into a solid crust. During an accretion outburst in an X-ray transient, material accumulates in the envelope of the neutron star primary. This accumulation compresses the neutron star's outer layers and induces nuclear reactions in the ocean and crust. Accretion-driven heating raises the ocean's temperature and increases the frequencies of g-modes in the ocean; when accretion halts, the ocean cools and ocean g-mode frequencies decrease. If the observed low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations on accreting neutron stars are g-modes in the ocean, the observed quasi-periodic oscillation frequencies will increase during outburst---reaching a maximum when the ocean temperature reaches steady state --- and subsequently decrease during quiescence. For time-averaged accretion rates during outbursts between $\langle \dot{M} \rangle = 0.1 \textrm{--} 1.0\, \dot{M}_{\rm Edd}$ the predicted g-mode fundamental $n=1$ $l=2$ frequency is between $\approx 3 \textrm{--} 7 \, \mathrm{Hz}$ for slowly rotating neutron stars. Accreting neutron stars that require extra shallow heating, such as the Z-sources MAXI J0556-332, MXB 1659-29, and XTE J1701-462, have predicted g-mode fundamental frequencies between $\approx 3 \textrm{--} 16 \, \mathrm{Hz}$. Therefore, observations of low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations between $\approx 8 \textrm{--} 16\, \mathrm{Hz}$ in these sources, or in other transients that require shallow heating, will support a g-mode origin for the observed quasi-periodic oscillations.

description: In this paper we present an optical characterization for quantum dot intermediate band solar cells (QDIBSCs). The cells were developed by growing a stack of ten InAs/GaAs QDs layers between p and n doped GaAs conventional emitters. Electroluminescence, EL, photoreflectance, PR, and transmission electron microscopy, TEM, were applied to the samples in order to test and characterize them optically. The results, derived from the application of the different techniques, showed a good correlation. TEM images revealed a very good structural quality of the QDs, which seem to evolve in shape-strain from the bottom to the top of the stack. Corresponding to the quality observed by TEM, strong signals from EL and PR resolved unambiguously the energy band diagram of the QDIBSCs. By fitting PR data we were able to indentify the coexistence of bands and discrete energy levels coming from the IB material. The PR data evidenced also a strong electric field over the dots, attributed to the space charge region created between the p-n emitters sandwiching the IB material. From EL results, we identified the predominantly radiative nature of the IB material related energy transitions.

description: The scattering of light by aerosol particles dictates atmospheric visibility, which is a straightforward indicator of air quality. It is affected by numerous factors, such as particle number size distribution, particle mass concentration (PM2.5), ambient relative humidity (RH), and chemical composition. The latter two factors jointly influence the aerosol liquid water content (ALWC). Here, the particle backscattering coefficient (βp) under ambient RH conditions is investigated to differentiate and quantify the contributions of aerosol properties and meteorology using comprehensive observational datasets acquired at three megacities in China, that is, Beijing (BJ), Nanjing (NJ), and Guangzhou (GZ). Overall, the temporal variations in βp under ambient RH conditions are consistent with those in ALWC at the three sites. The PM2.5 in BJ is systematically higher than in NJ and GZ, while ambient RH and aerosol hygroscopicity in NJ are much higher than in BJ and GZ. Notable differences in the variations of βp with related factors at the three sites are demonstrated. βp is more sensitive to particle hygroscopicity and mass in NJ and ambient RH in BJ. The relative contributions of these factors to βp at the three sites under different pollution conditions are differentiated and quantified. The factor with the largest impact on the variability in βp shifts from particle mass to ambient RH as air quality deteriorated to heavy pollution in BJ. The opposite is true in NJ. In GZ, the contributions of these factors to changes in βp under different pollution conditions are similar, both dominated by PM2.5.

description: We propose a boundary quotient diagram for right LCM semigroups with property (AR) that generalizes the boundary quotient diagram for the $ax+b$-semigroup over the natural numbers. Our approach focuses on two important subsemigroups: the core subsemigroup and the semigroup of core irreducible elements. The diagram is then employed to unify several case studies on KMS-states, and we end with a discussion on $K$-theoretical aspects of the diagram motivated by recent findings for integral dynamics.

description: We perform a sudden quench on the Haldane model with long range interactions, more specifically generalising to the next to next nearest neighbour hopping, referred to as the $N3$ model in our work. Such a model possesses both isotropic and multiple anisotropic (satellite) Dirac points which lead to a rich topological phase diagram consisting of phases with higher Chern number ($C$). Quenches between the topological and the non-topological phases of such an infinite system probe the effect of the presence of the anisotropic Dirac points on the non-equilibrium response of the topological system. Interestingly, the Chern number remains the same before and after the quench for both the quenching protocols, even when the quench of the system is carried out between two different topological phases. {However, for a finite system, we establish that the initial edge current asymptotically decays to zero when the system is quenched to the non-topological phase although the Chern number for the corresponding periodically wrapped system remains unaltered; what is remarkable is that when the Hamiltonian is quenched from $|C|=2$ phase to the non-topological phase the edge current associated with the inner channel decays at a faster rate than the outer channel resembling a situation in which the system passes through the phase with $|C|=1$ before ending up in the phase $C=0$.

description: In this work we present quantum mechanic calculations using the Density Functional Theory for several transition metal substituted octahedral thiospinels derivatives of the In2S3 and MgIn2S4 compounds. The calculations predict that these materials will have a partially filled band inside the band-gap of the aforementioned semiconductors and due to that can be proposed as a novel class of high efficiency photovoltaic materials for intermediate band solar cells. The new band enables absorption of additional photons with energies lower than those of the band-gap, increasing in this way the photocurrent. Results of calculations show the enhancement of the optical absorption properties. The purpose of the work is to develop a material which can be used to create a more efficient photovoltaic solar cell.

description: Plants and their insect herbivores have been a dominant component of the terrestrial ecological landscape for the past 410 million years and feature intricate evolutionary patterns and co-dependencies. A complex systems perspective allows for both detailed resolution of these evolutionary relationships as well as comparison and synthesis across systems. Using proxy data of insect herbivore damage (denoted by the damage type or DT) preserved on fossil leaves, functional bipartite network representations provide insights into how plant–insect associations depend on geological time, paleogeographical space, and environmental variables such as temperature and precipitation. However, the metrics measured from such networks are prone to sampling bias. Such sensitivity is of special concern for plant–DT association networks in paleontological settings where sampling effort is often severely limited. Here, we explore the sensitivity of functional bipartite network metrics to sampling intensity and identify sampling thresholds above which metrics appear robust to sampling effort. Across a broad range of sampling efforts, we find network metrics to be less affected by sampling bias and/or sample size than richness metrics, which are routinely used in studies of fossil plant–DT interactions. These results provide reassurance that cross-comparisons of plant–DT networks offer insights into network structure and function and support their widespread use in paleoecology. Moreover, these findings suggest novel opportunities for using plant–DT networks in neontological terrestrial ecology to understand functional aspects of insect herbivory across geological time, environmental perturbations, and geographic space.

description: Recently, a Dirac exceptional point (EP) was reported in a non-Hermitian system. Unlike a Dirac point in Hermitian systems, this Dirac EP has coalesced eigenstates in addition to the degenerate energy. Also different from a typical EP, the two energy levels connected at this Dirac EP remain real in its vicinity and display a linear instead of square root dispersion, forming a tilted Dirac cone in the hybrid space consisting of a momentum dimension and a synthetic dimension for the strength of non-Hermiticity. In this report, we first present simple three-band and two-band matrix models with a Dirac EP, where the linear dispersion of the tilted Dirac cone can be expressed analytically. Importantly, our analysis also reveals that there exist Hermitian and non-Hermitian systems that have the same (real-valued) energy spectrum in their entire parameter space, with the exception that one or more degeneracies in the former are replaced by Dirac EPs in the later. Finally, we show the existence of an imaginary Dirac cone with an EP at its center.

description: It is shown that the immersion of oxidised silicon samples in hydrochloric or phosphoric acid solutions at elevated temperatures leads to significant changes at the Si-SiO2 interface. Capacitance-voltage and Electron spin resonance measurements on initially dehydrogenated samples both show a significant reduction in defect density following acid immersion and subsequent annealing in N2 at 400oC, while carrier lifetime measurements indicate a reduction of the emitter saturation current density Joe. The results show that various cleaning and etching steps cannot be assumed to not affect the interface properties of such samples.

description: Background: The pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia (PE) is incompletely understood. The placenta is considered to play a key role in this disease. Recent research showed that many microRNAs (miRNAs) are expressed in human placenta. Our aim in this study was to determine differential expression of miRNAs in placenta with severe PE, and normal placenta. Methods: Differential expression of miRNAs in placenta (four severe PE and a control group of four normal pregnant women) was first screened using microarray analysis. Following this, some differential miRNAs were selected and validated using real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction in placenta from women with severe PE (n=24), and a healthy control group (n=26). Results: We found the following miRNAs were significantly increased in placenta from women with severe PE: miR-16, miR-29b, miR-195, miR-26b, miR-181a, miR-335 and miR-222. Gene ontology analysis of the target genes revealed enrichment for specific biological process categories, i.e., regulation of cellular physiological process including miR-16, miR-29b, miR-195, miR-26b and miR-335, and signal transduction including miR-181a and miR-222. Conclusions: These different miRNAs may play an important role in pathogenesis of PE and may become diagnostic markers for PE. Clin Chem Lab Med 2009;47:923–9.

description: Despite advances in deep learning and knowledge graphs (KGs), using language models for natural language understanding and question answering remains a challenging task. Pre-trained language models (PLMs) have shown to be able to leverage contextual information, to complete cloze prompts, next sentence completion and question answering tasks in various domains. Unlike structured data querying in e.g. KGs, mapping an input question to data that may or may not be stored by the language model is not a simple task. Recent studies have highlighted the improvements that can be made to the quality of information retrieved from PLMs by adding auxiliary data to otherwise naive prompts. In this paper, we explore the effects of enriching prompts with additional contextual information leveraged from the Wikidata KG on language model performance. Specifically, we compare the performance of naive vs. KG-engineered cloze prompts for entity genre classification in the movie domain. Selecting a broad range of commonly available Wikidata properties, we show that enrichment of cloze-style prompts with Wikidata information can result in a significantly higher recall for the investigated BERT and RoBERTa large PLMs. However, it is also apparent that the optimum level of data enrichment differs between models.

description: The current accelerated expansion of the universe has been one of the most important fields in physics and astronomy since 1998. Many cosmological models have been proposed in the literature to explain this mysterious phenomenon. Since the nature and cause of the cosmic acceleration are still unknown, model-independent approaches to study the evolution of the universe are welcome. One of the powerful model-independent approaches is the so-called cosmography. It only relies on the cosmological principle, without postulating any underlying theoretical model. However, there are several shortcomings in the usual cosmography. For instance, it is plagued with the problem of divergence (or an unacceptably large error), and it fails to predict the future evolution of the universe. In the present work, we try to overcome or at least alleviate these problems, and we propose two new generalizations of cosmography inspired by the Padé approximant. One is to directly parameterize the luminosity distance based on the Padé approximant, while the other is to generalize cosmography with respect to a so-called $y_β$-shift $y_β=z/(1+βz)$, which is also inspired by the Padé approximant. Then, we confront them with the observational data with the help of the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) code emcee, and find that they work fairly well.

description: 23rd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition, 1-5 September 2008, Valencia, Spain; 203-206
description: A hybrid solar and fuel thermophotovoltaic system development is reported. Module design with performance analysis of its parts is presented. The solar part of the module consists of a large Fresnel lens ensuring 3200x concentration. The fuel-fired part is a propane burner ensuring an effective no-flame regime of the burning process. The developed system is tested in three regimes: solar only with the advanced emitter coated with a HfO2 layer for better spectral matching, gas-powered and hybrid. The advanced module with improved cell cooling for better performance in the gas-fired regime is developed and tested.

description: We consider a gravitating system consisting of a scalar field minimally coupled to gravity with a self-interacting potential and a U(1) nonlinear electromagnetic field. Solving analytically and numerically the coupled system for both power-law and Born-Infeld type electrodynamics, we find charged hairy black hole solutions. Then, we study the thermodynamics of these solutions and we find that at a low temperature the topological charged black hole with scalar hair is thermodynamically preferred, whereas the topological charged black hole without scalar hair is thermodynamically preferred at a high temperature for power-law electrodynamics. Interestingly enough, these phase transitions occur at a fixed critical temperature and do not depend on the exponent $p$ of the nonlinearity electrodynamics.

description: A highly efficient 10 cm × 10 cm sub-module of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) was successfully fabricated using Black dye. This sub-module has a current-collecting structure with Ag grids. The energy conversion efficiency based on an active area and an aperture area were 9.4% (ac = 9.4%, Jsc = 20.5 mA/cm2, Voc = 0.68 V, ff = 0.67) and 8.7%, respectively. Environmental and endurance test methods for amorphous Si solar cell modules, JIS C- 8938, corresponding to IEC norm 68-2, was applied to the stability test. This test included a dry heat cycle test (-40 ºC to 90 ºC, 200 cycles), a heat-humidity cycle test (-40 ºC to 90 ºC, 85% humidity, 10 cycles) and a light soaking test (255 W/m2 (300 nm - 700 nm), 500 hrs). The stability of DSC was much dependent on the species of electrolyte solvent, suggesting the sealing is very important for the long-term stability of DSC. In conclusion, Methoxypropionitrile (MPN) solvent of electrolyte showed a promising feature in terms of the long-term stability of DSC for commercialization.
