description: The heterogeneity in pack voltages and capacity of aged packs limits the performance and economic viability of second-use battery energy storage systems (2-BESS) due to issues of reliability and available energy. Overcoming these limitations could enable extended use of batteries and improve the environmental impacts of electric vehicles by reducing the number of batteries produced. This paper compares Lite-Sparse Hierarchical Partial Power Processing (LS-HiPPP), a new method for power processing in 2-BESS, to conventional power processing architectures using a stochastic EV charging plaza model. This method for performance evaluation allows a fair comparison among power processing architectures for 2-BESS. Results show that LS-HiPPP increases the battery energy utilization to 94% as compared to 78% for conventional partial power processing (C-PPP) and 23% for full power processing. These results were obtained with 25% heterogeneity in individual battery capacities and 20% power processing within the 2-BESS. Derating and captured value are two derived performance metrics for comparing LS-HiPPP and C-PPP in this work. The derating for LS-HiPPP is 84.3% in comparison to 63.1% for C-PPP. The captured value for LS-HiPPP is 79.8% versus 51% for C-PPP.

description: Little is known about producers' willingness to use manure. Past studies have focused on substitutability for fertilizers. We surveyed crop producers in a cattle-dense region of the Colorado Plains about whether and why they apply manure, focusing on how pressures (like owning cattle) or preferences (pro and con) affect their adoption. Using logistic regression, findings show that pressure and preference (PS/PF) significantly affect adoption. A producer with high PS/PF was 10 times more likely to use manure than one with low PS/PF. Policy and decision makers can use such findings to inform education and policy aimed at increasing the land application of manure.
HDT Bitmap Triple Indices - Results of the Experiments

description: Queries
 These are the queries which have been deployed in the Bitmap Triple indices experiments. The directories contain the queries as sparql text file, the appropriate time measurements and the resulting boxplots. Explanation of the Query Notation Filter Queries: qi_j i: level of difficulty j: number of applied filters Class Queries (query directory is labeled as 'categoryQueries'): qi_j i: level of difficulty j: number of incremental join operations Hybrid Queries: qi_j i: level of difficulty of the underlying Class Query and the number of incremental join operations j: number of applied filters CSV-Files Naming Convention "CP": reachable classes operation, count results are returned "Verbose": class queries, results are returned as strings "ApplyFilters": filter queries, results are returned as strings "AvailableFilters": computation of all available filters, count results are returned "Hybrid": hybrid queries, results are returned as strings Threshold Experiments The performance to calculate all available filters and the filtering of a given set of resources \(M\) can be increased by introducing a threshold \(\theta\), which can be summarized as follows: If \(|M| \leq \theta\), for each resource in \(M\), a triple pattern query is executed to test the required conditions. In the threshold experiments, the PV indices used the BT indices and Plain HDT utilized the HDT FoQ index to resolve the appropriate triple patterns. If \(|M| > \theta\), it is iterated over a subset of triples of the deployed indices (or in case of Plain HDT over the Bitmap Triples of the HDT file) in order to apply a property-value filter to \(M\) or to compute all available filters. The corresponding "ThresholdExperiments" directory contains the results of the experiments that were conducted on the Panama Papers data set in order to determine a suitable value \(\theta\). The threshold \(\theta\) for property-value filter operations was eventually set to \(5,000\) for both Plain HDT and the PV indices approach. In case of available filter operations, \(\theta = 100,000\) for Plain HDT, and \(\theta = 5,000\) for the PV indices approach. Taking into account that the HDT FoQ index is more efficient to resolve single triple pattern queries than the BT indices (cf. "ApplyFacets" threshold experiments), in the eventual experiments, the PV indices also used the HDT FoQ index for triple pattern queries if \(|M| \leq \theta\).

description: Beginning in 2000 Lincoln University has completed biennial surveys of people's perceptions of the state of the New Zealand environment. The surveys use the Pressure-State-Response framework for state of the environment reporting to assess resources such as air quality, native plants and animals, native forest and bush, soils, beaches and coastal waters, marine fisheries, marine reserves, freshwaters, national parks, wetlands, urban environments, and the natural environment compared to other developed nations. They also examine participation in environmentally friendly activities, the most important environmental issues facing New Zealanders and a range of other issues. Individual case studies are also undertaken: in 2000 natural hazards; in 2002 the coastal marine environment, marine recreational fishing and preferences for expenditure on environmental matters; in 2004 freshwater and recreational angling; in 2006 transport and policies to internalise transport externalities. This paper reviews this research programme and its contribution to understanding state of the New Zealand environment and its management.

Darüber hinaus wirken wir auf strategischer Ebene auf entscheidungstragende Stellen ein, damit Inklusion im FDM u. a. Bestandteil von Förder- und Veröffentlichungsbedingungen wird. Wir vernetzen uns mit relevanten Akteur*innen auf nationaler und internationaler Ebene.

Bibliotheken als Informationsinfrastruktureinrichtungen haben eine gesellschaftspolitische Aufgabe und leisten einen Beitrag zur demokratischen Teilhabe aller Menschen. Ihre Kompetenzen im Norm- und Metadatenmanagement wenden sie auch auf Forschungsdaten an, weshalb FDM zunehmend wichtiger Bestandteil wissenschaftlicher Bibliotheken ist, besonders in der Forschungsunterstützung.

Forschung an deutschen Hochschulen und außerhochschulischen Einrichtungen wird überwiegend aus öffentlichen Mitteln finanziert. Deshalb müssen Forschungsprozesse und ihre Ergebnisse allen Menschen zugänglich sein. Open Science als Eckpfeiler der Verzahnung von Wissenschaft, Forschung und Gesellschaft ist inzwischen in die Recommendation on Open Science der UNESCO aufgegangen. Darin wird die Generierung von und der Zugang zu wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen für alle – inklusiv, gerecht und nachhaltig – festgehalten. Diese Werte haben mit der UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention universelle Bedeutung erlangt, die für wissenschaftliche Institutionen von öffentlicher Hand rechtsverbindlich ist. Bisher berücksichtigen die FAIR Data Principles, Datenrepositorien, Kurationsrichtlinien, forschungsbezogene Standards und institutionelle FDM-Richtlinien die Zugänglichkeit für Menschen mit Behinderungen kaum. Um das Innovationspotential aller Forschenden für Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft zu gewährleisten, bedarf es einer Forschungs- und Informationsinfrastruktur, die Inklusion und Barrierefreiheit von Anfang an konsequent mitdenkt und umsetzt.

description: The quarantine policy decision-making process in Australia is subject to the principles of the World Trade Organisation's SPS Agreement. It is primarily based on the risks and associated economic costs accruing to producers in the event of disease entry. The costs of a quarantine measure in terms of forgone trade benefits are not considered. The impact associated with this asymmetric approach is identified by demonstrating the gains to consumers which may arise through liberalised markets using a case study of the Australian apple industry. A partial equilibrium analysis is used to show the impacts of apple market liberalisation, which can be expected to yield gains to consumers which are greater than the economic costs to on producers.

description: Using transferable water permits has been identified by economists as a necessary tool to efficiently allocate water to its highest valued use. Australian governments have seized the concept and begun to provide mechanisms that separate rights to water from land ownership and allow flexibility to trade the rights. Water trading is slowly taking shape but has been challenged regarding ownership rights and technical applications. Several key studies and projects are now testing a similar process to be used to develop ownership and incentives for diffuse water pollution. This paper analyses how rights to water quantity and water quality are emerging, the policy tools being used, and current challenges for decision makers.

description: Many-body electron interactions are at the heart of chemistry and solid-state physics. Understanding these interactions is crucial for the development of molecular-scale quantum and nanoelectronic devices. Here, we investigate single-electron tunneling through an edge-fused porphyrin oligomer and demonstrate that its transport behavior is well described by the Hubbard dimer model. This allows us to study the role of electron-electron interactions in the transport setting. In particular, we empirically determine the molecule's on-site and inter-site electron-electron repulsion energies, which are in good agreement with density functional calculations, and establish the molecular electronic structure within various charge states. The gate-dependent rectification behavior is used to further confirm the selection rules and state degeneracies resulting from the Hubbard model. We therefore demonstrate that current flow through the molecule is governed by a non-trivial set of vibrationally coupled electronic transitions between various many-body states, and experimentally confirm the importance of electron-electron interactions in single-molecule devices.

description: Results from a study of Fe K-alpha emission lines for a sample of six non-magnetic Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) using the high resolution X-ray data from the Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating (HETG) are presented. Two of the sources, SS Cyg and U Gem are observed in both quiescent and outburst states whereas V603 Aql, V426 Oph, WX Hyi and SU UMa are observed only in quiescence. The fluorescent Fe line is prominent in V603 Aql, V426 Oph and SS Cyg during quiescence indicating the presence of a conspicuous reflection component in these sources. The observed equivalent width of the fluorescent Fe line is consistent with reflection from a white dwarf surface that subtends 2pi solid angle at the X-ray source. During the outburst in SS Cyg, the fluorescent line is red-shifted by about 2300 km/s. The Fe XXV triplet at 6.7 keV is found to be dominant in all sources. The value of the G-ratio derived from the Fe XXV triplet indicates that the plasma is in collisional ionization equilibrium during the quiescent state. The Fe XXV line is significantly broadened in U Gem and SS Cyg during the outbursts compared to quiescence, indicating the presence of a high velocity material near the white dwarf during the outburst. The ratio of Fe XXVI/XXV indicates a higher ionization temperature during quiescence than in outburst in U Gem and SS Cyg.

description: Animal welfare policies are often dealing with complex issues that are value laden and quite complex for New Zealand society to consider and evaluate. As a result, it may be difficult for agencies to converge upon policies that provide equally desirable and universally popular solutions. In some cases, achieving a consensus about what constitutes the most socially desirable course of action to follow may simply not be possible. The 4-Windows strategy originally developed by Bob Flood can provide a systems framework that brings together differing policy paradigms and methodologies. Each window has been further developed in this study for examining a particular type of policy question about the central issue. Economic analyses can be incorporated as a component within these approaches. When applied to farming practices of concern to animal welfare agencies, such as lamb castration, bringing the results from each of the windows can be brought together in a decision matrix can providing new insights into different world views and ways of incorporating a range of world views in the development of new policy.

description: The study examines the importance of community forest resources for income and employment in rural areas of Nepal by studying the effect of current forestry policy on forestland use. Using data from 259 households in six community forest user groups in three hilly districts (Dolakha, Kavre and Nuwakot), the results show that the resources available from private lands and community forests with current policies are inadequate to fully utilize the family labour force of many rural households and are insufficient to meet the bare survival income of the poorest households. Current government policy dictates the use of all community forestland for limited timber production and environmental conservation, and provides little scope for fodder and firewood production. The study shows that community forestland management with an agroforestry model could overcome rural unemployment problems and increase incomes.

The new solution is expressed in terms of integrals of known functions, and the integration can be completed in principle. The applicability of this technique is demonstrated by generating anisotropic isothermal spheres and anisotropic constant density Schwarzschild spheres. Both of these solutions are expressed in closed form in terms of elementary functions, and this facilitates physical analysis.

description: We investigate the injection of quasiparticle spin currents into a superconductor via spin pumping from an adjacent FM layer.$\;$To this end, we use NbN/\ch{Ni80Fe20}(Py)-heterostructures with a Pt spin sink layer and excite ferromagnetic resonance in the Py-layer by placing the samples onto a coplanar waveguide (CPW). A phase sensitive detection of the microwave transmission signal is used to quantitatively extract the inductive coupling strength between sample and CPW, interpreted in terms of inverse current-induced torques, in our heterostructures as a function of temperature. Below the superconducting transition temperature $T_{\mathrm{c}}$, we observe a suppression of the damping-like torque generated in the Pt layer by the inverse spin Hall effect (iSHE), which can be understood by the changes in spin current transport in the superconducting NbN-layer. Moreover, below $T_{\mathrm{c}}$ we find a large field-like current-induced torque.

On the migration-induced resonances in a system of two planets with masses in the Earth mass range

description: We investigate orbital resonances expected to arise when a system of two planets, with masses in the range 1-4 Earth masses, undergoes convergent migration while embedded in a section of gaseous disc where the flow is laminar. We consider surface densities corresponding to 0.5-4 times that expected for a minimum mass solar nebula at 5.2 AU. Using hydrodynamic simulations we find that when the configuration is such that convergent migration occurs the planets can become locked in a first order commensurability for which the period ratio is (p+1)/p with p being an integer and migrate together maintaining it for many orbits. Relatively rapid convergent migration as tends to occur for disparate masses, results in commensurabilities with p larger than 2. However, in these cases the dynamics is found to have a stochastic character. When the convergent migration is slower, such as occurs in the equal mass case, lower p commensurabilities such as 3:2 are attained which show much greater stability. In one already known example of a system with nearly equal masses in the several Earth mass range (planets around pulsar PSR B1257+12) the two largest planets are intriguingly close to a 3:2 commensurability. A very similar behaviour is obtained when the systems are modeled using an N body code with simple prescriptions for the disc planet interaction. Using that, we found that an 8:7 resonance established in a hydrodynamic simulation run for 10-100 thousand orbits could be maintained for more than million orbits. Resonant capture leads to a rise in eccentricities that can be predicted using a simple analytic model constructed in this paper. We find that the system with the 8:7 commensurability is fully consistent with this prediction.

Fracture and blending of wood composites with discontinuous adhesive bonds
Creators: name: Conrad, Michael Perry Cyrus
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: To minimize resin consumption in the manufacture of oriented strand board, while maintaining the mechanical properties of the finished product, several factors must be optimized. The focus of this work is to answer the following questions: what is the optimum droplet diameter and dot-pitch (distance between droplet centres), and how should the rotary drum blender be operated to achieve this? This work examines the effect of droplet diameter and dotpitch on the Mode I fracture toughness of a discontinuous adhesive bond and presents preliminary results on the blending dynamics of oriented strand board. The major conclusions from the work are that the fracture toughness appears to increase linearly with resin droplet diameter and with the square root of bonded area, a finding that is supported by an analytical model. Furthermore, the study shows that the fracture toughness is not strongly dependent on the amount of resin applied. Therefore, by modifying the droplet diameter and dot-pitch it should be possible to maintain the current mechanical properties of the board with reduced resin consumption. Since the bond fails in the substrate, a similar square root relationship between the retention of solid wood fracture toughness by the discontinuous bond and the area of solid wood failure is postulated and confirmed. A minimum ratio of bonded area to total area of 0.3 is suggested, below which the bond does not form. To determine the above results a modified flexographic printing technique was used to deposit resin droplets of known size and spacing. The mass of resin applied was relatively constant, however, the mass applied is affected by resin viscosity, relative humidity and substrate moisture content. The preliminary work on blending examines the effect of blender rotation speed and drum-wall friction on the tumbling behaviour of strands. Increasing the rotation speed causes the strands to pass through various tumbling regimes, from sliding to centrifuging. Experiments on drum-wall friction show the necessity of flights. Initial models in the area ignore the effect of friction, which limits their usefulness.

description: The number of gluons in the hadron wave function is discrete, and their formation in the chain of small $x$ evolution occurs over discrete rapidity intervals of $Δy \simeq 1/\as$. We therefore consider the evolution as a discrete quantum process. We show that the discrete version of the mean-field Kovchegov evolution equation gives rise to strong fluctuations in the scattering amplitude, not present in the continuous equation. We find that if the linear evolution is as fast as predicted by the perturbative BFKL dynamics, the scattering amplitude at high energies exhibits a chaotic behavior. As a consequence, the properties of diffraction at high energies become universal.

The solutions provide a microscopic description of a general supertube configuration. Taking advantage of an analogy between a compact matrix dimension and the Hamiltonian of a 1-dimensional crystal, we use a Bloch wave basis to diagonalize the transverse matrices, finding a distribution of eigenvalues which smoothly trace the profile curve as the Bloch wave number is varied.

description: A novel single-mode resonant structure which enables the rotation of the sample about two orthogonal axes is investigated in view of electron paramagnetic resonance applications. The proposed solution is based on cylindrical nonradiative resonators laterally loaded by the sample holder. The resulting structure can still operate in nonradiative regime, although no longer rotationally invariant. These theoretical predictions, based on symmetry considerations, are confirmed by means of a finite element numerical modelling. Theoretical and computational results are then substantiated by experimental investigations at millimeter wavelengths. As a result, a single-mode resonator which enables all the relevant rotations of the sample is demonstrated at millimeter wavelengths for the first time. In this resonator the intensity of the microwave field on the sample and its orientation with respect to the static magnetic field can be kept constant during the rotations. Therefore, a complete characterization of anisotropic systems is possible at the highest sensitivity, without the need of split-coil magnets. Possible applications at very high frequencies are discussed.

description: We study the running vacuum model in which the vaccum energy density depends on square of Hubble parameter in comparison with the $Λ$CDM model. In this work, the Bayesian inference method is employed to test against the standard $Λ$CDM model to appraise the relative significance of our model, using the combined data sets, Pantheon+CMB+BAO and Pantheon+CMB+BAO+Hubble data. The model parameters and the corresponding errors are estimated from the marginal likelihood function of the model parameters. Marginalizing over all model parameters with suitable prior, we have obtained the Bayes factor as the ratio of Bayesian evidence of our model and the $Λ$CDM model. The analysis based on Jeffrey's scale of bayesian inference shows that the evidence of our model against the $Λ$CDM model is weak for both data combinations. Even though the running vacuum model gives a good account of the evolution of the universe, it is not superior to the $Λ$CDM model.

description: China's horticultural exports have almost doubled in value over the past decade, her imports have increased by even more, and China is increasingly a net exporter of horticultural products. After adjusting trade data for irregularities in the reported trade between Hong Kong and mainland China, growth in China's exports and imports is discussed. Major traded products and markets will be identified. Case studies are China's trade in fresh apples, which have become the major fruit export, and in cut flowers which are a relatively new export product for China. China's competitive position and market shares relative to other suppliers of apples and cut flowers to foreign markets are examined.
Impact of loop-induced processes on the boosted dark matter interpretation of the XENON1T excess

description: We consider the boosted dark matter solution of the XENON1T excess to constrain the framework through loop-generated processes. The interaction of the boosted dark matter component, which sources the signal, effectively couples the cold dark matter background to the electrons, making it potentially visible in the electron recoil searches. Similarly, once the radiative corrections due to the Standard Model are taken into account, dark matter also scatters on quarks and becomes observable in nuclear recoil measurements. By analysing these processes, we find that the current direct detection constraints exclude the upper mass range selected by the anomaly if the boosted component is generated through dark matter annihilation.

We identify a total of 10 high-mass young stellar objects: one hot core (HC) and 9 UC HII regions, whose physical parameters are obtained from model fits to their continuum spectra. The ratio between the current and expected final radii of the UC \HII regions ranges from 0.3 to 0.9, which leaves the possibility that all O-B stars formed simultaneously. Under the opposite assumption -- namely that star formation occurred randomly -- we estimate that HC lifetime is less than $\sim$1/3 of that of UCHII regions on the basis of the source number ratio between them.

description: We propose a novel approach to intranuclear cascades which takes as input quantum MonteCarlo nuclear configurations and uses a semi-classical, impact-parameter based algorithm to modelthe propagation of protons and neutrons in the nuclear medium. We successfully compare oursimulations to available proton-carbon scattering data and nuclear-transparency measurements. Byanalyzing the dependence of the simulated observables upon the ingredients entering our intranuclearcascade algorithm, we provide a quantitative understanding of their impact. Particular emphasisis devoted to the role played by nuclear correlations, the Pauli exclusion principle, and interactionprobability distributions.

description: Investment in R&D has long been regarded as an important source of productivity growth in New Zealand and Australian agriculture. Perhaps because research lags are long, current investment in R&D is monitored closely. In this paper trends in public investment in R&D and in productivity growth are reviewed. Investment in R&D has been flat in both countries although in recent years investment in New Zealand has increased. Nevertheless research intensity in Australia has been significantly higher than that in New Zealand. Productivity growth is also likely to have been higher. Econometric evidence about the sources of productivity growth is rarely clear. We develop some scenarios about the importance of domestic and foreign R&D and other sources of productivity growth and find that returns to investments in domestic research in both countries are likely to have been in the order of 15-20 percent.

description: In data collection for predictive modeling, under-representation of certain groups, based on gender, race/ethnicity, or age, may yield less-accurate predictions for these groups. Recently, this issue of fairness in predictions has attracted significant attention, as data-driven models are increasingly utilized to perform crucial decision-making tasks. Existing methods to achieve fairness in the machine learning literature typically build a single prediction model in a manner that encourages fair prediction performance for all groups. These approaches have two major limitations: i) fairness is often achieved by compromising accuracy for some groups; ii) the underlying relationship between dependent and independent variables may not be the same across groups. We propose a Joint Fairness Model (JFM) approach for logistic regression models for binary outcomes that estimates group-specific classifiers using a joint modeling objective function that incorporates fairness criteria for prediction. We introduce an Accelerated Smoothing Proximal Gradient Algorithm to solve the convex objective function, and present the key asymptotic properties of the JFM estimates. Through simulations, we demonstrate the efficacy of the JFM in achieving good prediction performance and across-group parity, in comparison with the single fairness model, group-separate model, and group-ignorant model, especially when the minority group's sample size is small. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of the JFM method in a real-world example to obtain fair risk predictions for under-represented older patients diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

description: High energy neutrino emission from GRBs is discussed. In this paper, by using the simulation kit GEANT4, we calculate proton cooling efficiency including pion-multiplicity and proton-inelasticity in photomeson production. First, we estimate the maximum energy of accelerated protons in GRBs. Using the obtained results, neutrino flux from one burst and a diffuse neutrino background are evaluated quantitatively. We also take account of cooling processes of pion and muon, which are crucial for resulting neutrino spectra. We confirm the validity of analytic approximate treatments on GRB fiducial parameter sets, but also find that the effects of multiplicity and high-inelasticity can be important on both proton cooling and resulting spectra in some cases. Finally, assuming that the GRB rate traces the star formation rate, we obtain a diffuse neutrino background spectrum from GRBs for specific parameter sets. We introduce the nonthermal baryon-loading factor, rather than assume that GRBs are main sources of UHECRs. We find that the obtained neutrino background can be comparable with the prediction of Waxman & Bahcall, although our ground in estimation is different from theirs. In this paper, we study on various parameters since there are many parameters in the model. The detection of high energy neutrinos from GRBs will be one of the strong evidences that protons are accelerated to very high energy in GRBs. Furthermore, the observations of a neutrino background has a possibility not only to test the internal shock model of GRBs but also to give us information about parameters in the model and whether GRBs are sources of UHECRs or not.

description: The electric field effect on magnetism was examined in the multiferroic conical magnet Mn$_2$GeO$_4$, which shows a strong coupling between ferromagnetic and ferroelectric order parameters. The systematic evaluation of the electric polarization in the multiferroic phase below 5.5 K under various field cooling conditions reveals that small magnetic fields of 0.1 T significantly reduce the required electric fields needed to reach saturation. By applying electric fields during magnetic field dependent hysteresis measurements of magnetization M and polarization P an electrically controllable exchange bias was observed, a phenomenon exceedingly rare in single phase multiferroics. Furthermore, non-reversible electric switching of P and M domains was achieved under specific magnetic field conditions.
