description: The high energy spectrum of alpha particles emitted from a single isotope uniformly contaminating a bulk solid has a flat energy spectrum with a high end cutoff energy equal to the maximal alpha kinetic energy ($T_α$) of the decay. In this flat region of the spectrum, we show the surface rate $r_b\text{\,(Bq/keV-cm}^{2})$ arising from a bulk alpha contamination $ρ_b$ (Bq/cm$^3$) from a single isotope is given by $r_b =ρ_b ΔR/ 4 ΔE $, where $ΔE = E_1-E_2>0\ $ is the energy interval considered (keV) in the flat region of the spectrum and $ΔR = R_2-R_1$, where $R_2$ ($R_1$) is the amount of the bulk material (cm) necessary to degrade the energy of the alpha from $T_α$ to $E_2$ ($E_1$). We compare our calculation to a rate measurement of alphas from $^{147}$Sm, ($15.32\%\,\pm\,0.03\%$ of Sm($nat$) and half life of $(1.06\,\pm\,0.01)\times\,10^{11} \text{yr}$, and find good agreement, with the ratio between prediction to measurement of $100.2\%\pm 1.6\%\,\text{(stat)}\pm 2.1\%\,\text{(sys)}$. We derive the condition for the flat spectrum, and also calculate the relationship between the decay rate measured at the surface for a [near] surface contamination with an exponential dependence on depth and an a second case of an alpha source with a thin overcoat. While there is excellent agreement between our implementation of the sophisticated Monte Carlo program SRIM and our intuitive model in all cases, both fail to describe the measured energy distribution of a $^{148}$Gd alpha source with a thin ($\sim200μ$g/cm$^2$) Au overcoat. We discuss possible origins of the disagreement and suggest avenues for future study.
Partial regularity for Navier-Stokes and liquid crystals inequalities without maximum principle

description: In 1985, V. Scheffer discussed partial regularity results for what he called solutions to the "Navier-Stokes inequality". These maps essentially satisfy the incompressibility condition as well as the local and global energy inequalities and the pressure equation which may be derived formally from the Navier-Stokes system of equations, but they are not required to satisfy the Navier-Stokes system itself. We extend this notion to a system considered by Fang-Hua Lin and Chun Liu in the mid 1990s related to models of the flow of nematic liquid crystals, which include the Navier-Stokes system when the "director field" $d$ is taken to be zero. In addition to an extended Navier-Stokes system, the Lin-Liu model includes a further parabolic system which implies an a priori maximum principle for $d$ which they use to establish partial regularity (specifically, $\mathcal{P}^{1}(\mathcal{S})=0$) of solutions. For the analogous "inequality" one loses this maximum principle, but here we nonetheless establish certain partial regularity results (namely $\mathcal{P}^{\frac 92 + δ}(\mathcal{S})=0$, so that in particular the putative singular set $\mathcal{S}$ has space-time Lebesgue measure zero). Under an additional assumption on $d$ for any fixed value of a certain parameter $σ\in (5,6)$ (which for $σ=6$ reduces precisely to the boundedness of $d$ used by Lin and Liu), we obtain the same partial regularity ($\mathcal{P}^{1}(\mathcal{S})=0$) as do Lin and Liu. In particular, we recover the partial regularity result ($\mathcal{P}^{1}(\mathcal{S})=0$) of Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg (1982) for "suitable weak solutions" of the Navier-Stokes system, and we verify Scheffer's assertion that the same hold for solutions of the weaker "inequality" as well.

description: Purpose COVID-19 frequently affects the kidneys with symptoms ranging from mild proteinuria to progressive acute kidney injury. This prospective study aimed to assess the short- and long-term impact of asymptomatic and mild COVID-19 on the renal function of healthy young adults, and to determine the correlation between viral load and kidney function among these patients. Methods This was a prospective cohort study conducted over a period of 6 months. Patients were followed-up at baseline, and then after 3 and 6 months, respectively. Real-time PCR cycle threshold (CT) was used to determine the viral load and disease activity. Patients were classified into two groups with either asymptomatic COVID-19 or mild pneumonia. The assessment parameters were variables that could directly or indirectly relate to the renal function. Results A total of 48 patients were included and evaluated. The majority of patients (62.5%) had asymptomatic COVID-19 disease. Patients with mild pneumonia had significantly higher serum creatinine (SCr) at the time of COVID-19 diagnosis (beta = 12.836, 95% CI = 2.405–23.268, P = 0.019), after 3 months (beta = 14.345, 95% CI = 1.149–27.542, P = 0.035), and after 6 months (beta = 14.100, 95% CI = 0.730–27.470, P = 0.040) compared to asymptomatic patients. Mild pneumonia was also significantly associated with lower serum albumin level at the time of COVID-19 diagnosis (beta = – 6.317, 95% CI = – 9.448–− 3.185, P < 0.001). Conclusion Mild COVID-19 is associated with mild renal involvement without AKI. Changes in the renal function appear to be related to reduced creatinine clearance and possible albumin leakage in the acute phase of the disease. The reduction in creatinine clearance is not predicted by viral load, and it appears to be a long-term effect of the disease that can last for at least 6 months.Other Information Published in: International Urology and Nephrology

description: Real-time simulation methods for interconnection requirements of grid connected inverters are
increasingly in the focus of distributed generation (DG) research. While laboratory testing methods are the
predominant method for the verification of safety and quality related features of grid-connected generation units in
the past, load flow modelling verification methods have been integrated in state-of-the-art standardisation
frameworks recently. The next step is comprised in real-time simulation methodologies applied for compliance
testing of entire power electronic systems integrated in distribution network systems. The controller hardware-in-theloop
(CHIL) simulation is an appropriate real-time simulation methodology that combines numerical simulations with
software modelling approaches and classical hardware testing in laboratories. Control boards represent the hardware
device directly connected to the power electronic periphery, which is entirely simulated in a real-time simulation
environment. Hereby, input signals from voltage and current measurements and output signals for power system
control are exchanged in real-time. Thanks to this setup the testing the true behaviour of the entire generation unit can
be emulated precisely supported by the developed pre-certification toolbox, as the main outcome of this work. The
toolbox offers possibilities of high level automation of test sequences representing a crucial benefit for an improved
testing process. In addition, different parameter settings can be run in parallel on a CHIL platform, hence the total
testing time can be shortened due to individual acceleration features. With the pre-standardisation toolbox for CHIL
simulations a shorter time to market is achieved compared to high power laboratory testing.

Добыча «черного золота» началась в регионе в XIX в. и длительное время такие латиноамериканские страны, как Мексика и Венесуэла, входили в число ведущих нефтедобывающих и экспортирующих государств мира. В последние десятилетия нефтяная отрасль Латинской Америки пережила сильные кризисные потрясения, что снизило ее роль на мировых рынках жидких углеводородов. Задача сегодняшнего дня придать новый импульс развитию региональной «нефтянки», нарастить добычу и экспорт. Характерно, что ведущие страны региона, исходя из национальных возможностей, приняли на вооружение различные модели развития нефтяной промышленности.

description: Background Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are a novel class of oral antidiabetic drugs. To date, there are no pharmacoepidemiologic studies investigating the pattern of use of SGLT2is compared to other oral antidiabetic drugs in the Middle East, including Qatar. Aim This study aimed to explore the trends in the use of SGLT2is compared to other oral antidiabetic drugs in Qatar from 2016 to 2020. Method This is a descriptive, retrospective cross-sectional study where information on all oral antidiabetic drugs dispensed as in- or out-patient prescriptions from 2016 to 2020 in Hamad Medical Corporation hospitals, Qatar were collected. Outcomes included the number and relative frequency of quarterly prescriptions of different oral antidiabetic drug classes [biguanides, sulfonylureas, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors, thiazolidinediones, meglitinides, α-glucosidase inhibitors, and SGLT2is] prescribed from 2016 to 2020. Results SGLT2is prescriptions increased from 1045 (2.13%) in 2017 to 8375 (12.39%) in 2020, while sulfonylureas prescriptions declined from 10,436 (21.25%) to 9158 (13.55%) during the same period. Metformin use decreased from 23,926 (48.71%) in 2017 to 30,886 (45.70%) in 2020. The proportions of thiazolidinediones, meglitinides, α-glucosidase inhibitors prescriptions remained stable over the years. Among SGLT2is, empagliflozin prescriptions showed an increase from 537 (10.65%) to 2881 (34.40%) compared to dapagliflozin, which decreased by the end of 2018 from 4505 (89.35%) to 5494 (65.6%). Conclusion SGLT2is have largely replaced sulfonylureas in Qatar. The increasing trend in their use over the years is similar to that reported in other countries. The trend among SGLT2is suggests greater preference for empagliflozin over dapagliflozin.Other Information Published in: International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy

PV Module Performance and Reliability

description: 33rd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1758-1761
description: As to now no cost-effective approaches for the application of physical vapor deposition of an Aluminum (PVD-Al) layer onto a c-Si solar cell and subsequent module integration has been successfully developed at industrial production level. In the present study, n-type Si solar cells based on a promising industrial process for PVD-Al contacts were used to investigate its integration into the module and evaluate modules long-term stability. The interconnection technique based on electrical conductive adhesives (ECA) was mechanically evaluated by peeling tests and accelerated climatic indoor tests (TC200, DH1000). Peeling test results and cell to module (CTM) losses show that the ECA used is very well able to contact the PVD-Al back coming along with a contact resistance comparable to soldered contacts. No damages after lamination were detected by means of electroluminescence (EL). Preliminary results show losses in Pmpp lower than 1% in average after 1000 hrs of damp heat (DH) test. Contrary after 200 cycles of thermo-cycling (TC) Pmpp losses are in average higher than 5%. Even though no cracks and metallization damages were observed, galvanic corrosion between the ECA and the Al layer was detected after climatic testing which seems to be responsible for the higher losses. Corrosion was suppressed by the use of glass on front and rear side and POE as encapsulant, which provided a better water barrier against humidity.

description: There are currently no effective therapeutics to treat cognitive impairments associated with schizophrenia (CIAS), which includes major deficits in attention, learning and memory. This thesis aimed to validate the use of GPR52 agonists, a novel class of drug, in the treatment of CIAS. Concomitantly, we established a more translation-focused approach to preclinical drug discovery and development for CIAS. Using our innovative, translation-focused approach, we demonstrated the pro-cognitive and antipsychotic effects of established and novel GPR52 agonists. We hope our findings contribute to the development of new therapies actually capable of addressing CIAS in patients.

PV Module Performance and Reliability

description: 33rd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1825-1830
description: Energy performance improvements of photovoltaic (PV) modules can be achieved by using innovative packaging materials, specifically designed to decrease the operating temperature and increase power output. This is important, especially since the aesthetic appeal of black-coloured PV modules is becoming a global market driving feature. The scope of this work is to analyse the performance of different crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV modules manufactured with different packaging components (backsheet types) capable of reducing the operating cell temperatures and in parallel, to assess their thermal behaviour and reliability under real operating conditions in a warm climate. The comparative analysis of the thermal behaviour, based on acquired cell temperature measurements over a five-year period, verified that backsheets can be designed to influence the cell temperature and enhance performance by operating at lower temperatures in some cases exceeding 10 °C. The systems with the backsheets that retained lower operating temperatures produced higher annual energy yield, under the warm conditions exposed due to reduced thermal losses of approximately 1 %. In particular, the annual energy yield results showed that the systems equipped with the white control and black colour thermal management backsheet produced consistently the highest annual energy yield over the evaluation period. Finally, the results of the indoor and outdoor degradation rate analysis showed that, over the five-year period, there was no significant difference in the estimated degradation rate amongst the installed systems, since the results are within the uncertainty range.

description: In the present study we search for a new stellar model with spherically symmetric matter and charged distribution under general relativistic framework. The model represents a compact star of embedding class one. The solutions obtain here are general in their nature having the following two features: firstly, the metric becomes flat and also the expressions for the pressure, energy density and electric charge become zero in all the cases if we consider the constant $A=0$, which shows that our solutions represent the so-called `electromagnetic mass model' \cite{Lorentz1904}, and secondly, the metric function $ν(r)$, for the limit $n$ tends to infinity, converts to $ν(r)=C{r}^{2}+ ln~B$, which is the same as considered by Maurya et al. \cite{Maurya2015a}. We have investigated several physical aspects of the model and find that all the features are acceptable within the demand of the contemporary theoretical studies and observational evidences.

description: We prove that every homogeneous countable dense homogeneous topological space containing a copy of the Cantor set is a Baire space. In particular, every countable dense homogeneous topological vector space is a Baire space. It follows that, for any nondiscrete metrizable space $X$, the function space $C_p(X)$ is not countable dense homogeneous. This answers a question posed recently by R. Hernández-Gutiérrez. We also conclude that, for any infinite dimensional Banach space $E$ (dual Banach space $E^\ast$), the space $E$ equipped with the weak topology ($E^\ast$ with the weak$^\ast$ topology) is not countable dense homogeneous. We generalize some results of Hrušák, Zamora Avilés, and Hernández-Gutiérrez concerning countable dense homogeneous products.

Design and analysis of an experimental force-feedback enabled surgical robot for minimally invasive surgery

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Surgical robotics for minimally invasive surgery has received much attention over the recent decade. This is due to the advantages that it can provide over traditional minimally invasive surgery, and include: improved dexterity, returned hand-eye coordination, 3-D view by utilising stereoscopic cameras, and further improvements such as position scaling and tremor filtering. However, current surgical robotic systems are expensive and bulky, and provide no force-feedback to the surgeon. The lack of force-feedback is often reported by surgeons and researchers to be a major limitation in these robotic systems. It is believed that adding force-feedback to these systems can improve the surgeon’s experience, and provide a safer environment. There have been many efforts in the recent years to develop a force-feedback enabled surgical robotic system, including: designing the surgical robot, designing the master console, developing force-sensing surgical tools, and finally developing the relevant force-feedback control methodologies. Many of the works focus on a specific sub-system where there exists a lack in the design and analysis of the integrated system. In this research some of the major requirements for such an integrated system was investigated, and include the development of a surgical slave mechanism for minimally invasive surgery, the development of a force-sensing surgical tool, and finally two force-feedback control modalities. For the surgical slave mechanism and the force-sensing surgical tool, specific design requirements for minimally invasive surgery were identified, where the developed systems showed desired performance characteristics. Finally, the relevant force-feedback control modalities utilised a stiffness estimation methodology to improve transparency and stability, and showed promising results.

description: La Silla plant is a 1.7 MW innovative PV power plant installed in 2016 by Enel Green Power (EGP) in Chile, where two cutting-edge solar module technologies (bifacial and smart modules) are tested and compared with traditional ones at utility scale level.
The PV plant has the double purpose to test innovative technologies in real operating conditions of utility-scale PV
plants, and meanwhile to produce energy and have revenues from this production. The side-by-side testing of the smart and bifacial modules with conventional panels allows comparing their performance with that of the conventional panels in the same site. The analysis of the data of each subfield showed that bifacial subfield performs better than the standard one with a gain of about 12%, while the smart subfield at the year one shows only a gain of
about 1%. The test confirms the potentialities of the solutions, that can be further investigated both for installation in EGP PV
plants and for R&D development of 3SUN factory.

description: We propose ClusPath, a novel algorithm for detecting general evolution tendencies in a population of entities. We show how abstract notions, such as the Swedish socio-economical model (in a political dataset) or the companies fiscal optimization (in an economical dataset) can be inferred from low-level descriptive features. Such high-level regularities in the evolution of entities are detected by combining spatial and temporal features into a spatio-temporal dissimilarity measure and using semi-supervised clustering techniques. The relations between the evolution phases are modeled using a graph structure, inferred simultaneously with the partition, by using a "slow changing world" assumption. The idea is to ensure a smooth passage for entities along their evolution paths, which catches the long-term trends in the dataset. Additionally, we also provide a method, based on an evolutionary algorithm, to tune the parameters of ClusPath to new, unseen datasets. This method assesses the fitness of a solution using four opposed quality measures and proposes a balanced compromise.

description: Titanium and its alloys are favourite materials for medical implant applications. They owe this popularity to their desirable biocompatibility, excellent corrosion resistance and superior mechanical properties when compared to Co-based alloys and 316L stainless steel. This compelling biomaterial underwent the development from commercial pure α titanium to (α + β) alloys, which are represented by Ti6Al4V, to new β alloys (Ti8Mo8V2Fe3Al, Ti11.5Mo6Zr4.5Sn, etc.) with lower elastic modulus and toxicity. Although being blamed for toxic ion release (aluminium and vanadium), Ti6Al4V is still one of the most commonly used titanium alloys owing to its accessibility, wide application and further improvement. Over the last decades, ultrafine-grained materials produced by Severe Plastic Deformation have drawn great attention thanks to their enhanced mechanical properties and biological properties. Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP), as one of the successful Severe Plastic Deformation techniques, has been applied in biomaterials to produce ultrafine grained (UFG) materials with superior tensile strength and fatigue properties and biocompatibility, especially with regard to cell attachment. In this project, we focus on how the grain refinement of Ti6Al4V affects its strength, fatigue properties, and cell response to its surface.

description: For any semisimple real Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}_\mathbb{R}$, we classify the representations of $\mathfrak{g}_\mathbb{R}$ that have at least one nonzero vector on which the centralizer of a Cartan subspace, also known as the centralizer of a maximal split torus, acts trivially. In the process, we revisit the notion of $\mathfrak{g}$-standard Young tableaux, introduced by Lakshmibai and studied by Littelmann, that provides a combinatorial model for the characters of the irreducible representations of any classical semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. We construct a new version of these objects, which differs from the old one for $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{so}(2r)$ and seems, in some sense, simpler and more natural.

description: Авторы рассматривают изменения, произошедшие во внешнеэкономической политике американской администрации после избрания Президентом Д. Трампа. Главный смысл изменений заключается в пересмотре международных соглашений США с североамериканскими торговыми партнерами (Канадой и Мексикой), установление высоких пошлин на импорт товаров из Китая. Д. Трамп обосновывает новую политику отказом от глобализации и переходом к использованию концепции экономического патриотизма, тесно связанной с теорией экономического национализма и тем самым де факто разваливает объективно сложившиеся в мировой торговле глобальные производственные цепочки. Дается перечень основных торговых войн, которые проводили США в предыдущие годы и в заключении делается вывод о бессмысленности поиска решения экономических проблем через торговые войны.

PV Module Performance and Reliability

description: 33rd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1713-1715
description: Within this work miniature digital temperature sensors were utilized to monitor the moisture ingress in photovoltaic modules during accelerated aging. The investigated modules were developed within the research project PV@Façade, which deals with the integration of PV modules in the building envelope to obtain long-term resistant multi-material composites. Hence, eleven samples, varying in manufacturing procedure, material composition and/or material supplier were analyzed while stored under damp-heat conditions (85°C, 85 % r.H.). As expected, the glass-glass setup with edge sealing performed best in regard to moisture resistance. For the non-glass modules, samples using TPO as encapsulation material showed good results. Nevertheless it was found, that already small differences in the distance of the sensor to the module edge of the different samples strongly influence the outcome of this experiment.

Evolution operators in conformal field theories and conformal mappings: the entanglement Hamiltonian, the sine-square deformation, and others

description: By making use of conformal mapping, we construct various time-evolution operators in (1+1) dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs), which take the form $\int dx\, f(x) \mathcal{H}(x)$, where $\mathcal{H}(x)$ is the Hamiltonian density of the CFT, and $f(x)$ is an envelope function. Examples of such deformed evolution operators include the entanglement Hamiltonian, and the so-called sine-square deformation of the CFT. Within our construction, the spectrum and the (finite-size) scaling of the level spacing of the deformed evolution operator are known exactly. Based on our construction, we also propose a regularized version of the sine-square deformation, which, in contrast to the original sine-square deformation, has the spectrum of the CFT defined on a spatial circle of finite circumference $L$, and for which the level spacing scales as $1/L^2$, once the circumference of the circle and the regularization parameter are suitably adjusted.

description: A numerical simulation of the thermal properties is conducted for an isotropic and homogeneous infinite strip composite reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and containing voids. The CNTs can be uniformly or randomly distributed but are non-overlapping. We model the CNTs as thin perfectly conducting elliptic inclusions and assume the voids to be of circular shape and act as barriers to heat flow. We also impose isothermal conditions on the external boundaries by assuming the lower infinite wall to be a heater under a given temperature, and the upper wall to be a cooler that can be held at a lower fixed temperature. The mathematical model, which takes the form of a mixed Dirichlet–Neumann problem, is solved by applying the boundary integral equation with the generalized Neumann kernel. We illustrate the performance of the proposed method through several numerical examples including the case of the presence of a large number of CNTs and voids.Other Information Published in: Journal of Engineering Mathematics

Finite size effects. The averaged eigenvalue density of Wigner random sign real symmetric matrices

description: Nowadays, strict finite size effects must be taken into account in condensed matter problems when treated through models based on lattices or graphs. On the other hand, the cases of directed bonds or links are known as highly relevant, in topics ranging from ferroelectrics to quotation networks. Combining these two points leads to examine finite size random matrices. To obtain basic materials properties, the Green function associated to the matrix has to be calculated. In order to obtain the first finite size correction a perturbative scheme is hereby developed within the framework of the replica method. The averaged eigenvalue spectrum and the corresponding Green function of Wigner random sign real symmetric N x N matrices to order 1/N are in fine obtained analytically. Related simulation results are also presented. The comparison between the analytical formulae and finite size matrices numerical diagonalization results exhibits an excellent agreement, confirming the correctness of the first order finite size expression.

Improved control of granule properties via "steady state granulation"
Creators: name: Moo, Ryan Fei Tzhung
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The thesis presented the understanding and application of “steady state” granulation approach in high shear wet granulation to produce granules that have better control of properties to be used as an oral solid dosage form as opposed to being compressed into tablets in industrial practices. The approach aims to achieve a "steady state" condition that is unachievable in conventional wet granulation processes. Two key operating parameters, liquid delivery rate and wet massing time are adjusted in order to evenly distribute the granulating fluid across the powder system. The approach showed to be feasible in producing granules that were narrow in size distribution, considerably spherical, smooth-surfaced and also possessed good and controlled dissolution performance. Current findings open up potential avenues in the design of drug carrier suitable for children.

description: Small scale, distributed rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems connected to the medium and low-voltage distribution networks have become cost competitive with end-consumer electricity tariffs in a number of countries. As a result, businesses and residential households are now increasingly self-generating electricity behind the meter. This paper studies the effect of the relative solar PV system size and battery storage capacity on the Self-Sufficiency Degree (SSD) and Self-Consumption Ratio (SCR) for different industrial, commercial and residential consumer profiles. The sizing of the solar PV system and battery storage is optimized to achieve a 100% degree of self-sufficiency, whilst maximizing the possible self-consumption ratio. The analysis excludes costs and therefore the optimization presented is based on minimising the size of the PV system and battery storage. Future work will consider the associated costs in the optimization.

description: High ionization star forming (SF) galaxies are easily identified with strong emission line techniques such as the BPT diagram, and form an obvious ionization sequence on such diagrams. We use a locally optimally emitting cloud model to fit emission line ratios that constrain the excitation mechanism, spectral energy distribution, abundances and physical conditions along the star-formation ionization sequence. Our analysis takes advantage of the identification of a sample of pure star-forming galaxies, to define the ionization sequence, via mean field independent component analysis. Previous work has suggested that the major parameter controlling the ionization level in SF galaxies is the metallicity. Here we show that the observed SF- sequence could alternatively be interpreted primarily as a sequence in the distribution of the ionizing flux incident on gas spread throughout a galaxy. Metallicity variations remain necessary to model the SF-sequence, however, our best models indicate that galaxies with the highest and lowest observed ionization levels (outside the range -0.37 < log [O III]/H\b{eta} < -0.09) require the variation of an additional physical parameter other than metallicity, which we determine to be the distribution of ionizing flux in the galaxy.
