description: One critical component in lossy deep image compression is the entropy model, which predicts the probability distribution of the quantized latent representation in the encoding and decoding modules. Previous works build entropy models upon convolutional neural networks which are inefficient in capturing global dependencies. In this work, we propose a novel transformer-based entropy model, termed Entroformer, to capture long-range dependencies in probability distribution estimation effectively and efficiently. Different from vision transformers in image classification, the Entroformer is highly optimized for image compression, including a top-k self-attention and a diamond relative position encoding. Meanwhile, we further expand this architecture with a parallel bidirectional context model to speed up the decoding process. The experiments show that the Entroformer achieves state-of-the-art performance on image compression while being time-efficient.

description: Sulphur dioxide is well-known in the atmospheres of planets and satellites, where its presence is often associated with volcanism, and in circumstellar envelopes of young and evolved stars as well as the interstellar medium. This work presents a line list of 1.3 billion $^{32}$S$^{16}$O$_2$ vibration-rotation transitions computed using an empirically-adjusted potential energy surface and an ab initio dipole moment surface. The list gives complete coverage up to 8000 cm$^{-1}$ (wavelengths longer than 1.25 $μ$m) for temperatures below 2000 K. Infrared absorption cross sections are recorded at 300 and 500 C are used to validated the resulting ExoAmes line list. The line list is made available in electronic form as supplementary data to this article and at www.exomol.com.

description: The need for controlled initial vapor droplet size, and, final nano-particle size correlation models has
captured the attention of many material scientist involved in production of semiconductor nano-particles using
ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP). The exploration of unique sizes and shapes as they relate to various properties has
become a great quest for large field applications. USP has been, for the last three decades, one of the major
techniques used to produce a wide variety of nano-materials either in thin film and/or in powder form. However the
lack of universal droplet correlation models that yield agreement between the theoretically estimated droplet sizes and
the experimentally determined droplet sizes has been one of the biggest obstacles in the development of USP systems
on a large industrial scale. To meet these demands, this paper exposes the conflicts of the conventional droplet
correlation models and finally presents a new droplet correlation nanoparticle correlation model for TiO2 nanoparticles
produced for USP.

description: A new model of collusions in an organization is proposed. Each actor $a_{i=1,\cdots,N}$ disposes one unique good $g_{j=1,\cdots,N}$. Each actor $a_i$ has also a list of other goods which he/she needs, in order from desired most to those desired less. Finally, each actor $a_i$ has also a list of other agents, initially ordered at random. The order in the last list means the order of the access of the actors to the good $g_j$. A pair after a pair of agents tries to make a transaction. This transaction is possible if each of two actors can be shifted upwards in the list of actors possessed by the partner. Our numerical results indicate, that the average time of evolution scales with the number $N$ of actors approximately as $N^{2.9}$. For each actor, we calculate the Kendall's rank correlation between the order of desired goods and actor's place at the lists of the good's possessors. We also calculate individual utility funcions $η_i$, where goods are weighted according to how strongly they are desired by an actor $a_i$, and how easily they can be accessed by $a_i$. Although the individual utility functions can increase or decrease in the time course, its value averaged over actors and independent simulations does increase in time. This means that the system of collusions is profitable for the members of the organization.
Magnetic Field Evolution in the Crust of Neutron Stars: Crust Failure and Plastic Flow

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

description: The evolution of the magnetic field in neutron star crusts because of the Hall effect has received significant attention over the last two decades, which is strongly justified because of the dominance of this effect in highly magnetised neutron stars. However, the applicability of the Hall effect is based on the assumption that the crust does not fail and sustains its rigidity. This assumption can be violated for substantially strong magnetic fields. If this is the case, the evolution of the magnetic field is described by a different set of equations, which include the effects of a non-rigid crust. In this talk, after a brief review of the main characteristic of the Hall evolution, I will discuss the impact a plastic flow of the crust has on the magnetic field, studying axisymmetric models. Moreover, the way the crust fails impacts the overall evolution, with major differences appearing if the failure is local, intermediate or global. Quite remarkably, crustal failure and plasticity do not annul the Hall effect, and under certain circumstances they may even lead to a more dramatic evolution. I will discuss the impact of these effects in the context of neutron star timing behaviour, with special focus on timing noise, outbursts and glitches.

description: From the Horowitz-Esposito stochastic thermodynamical description of information flows in dynamical systems [J. M. Horowitz and M. Esposito, Phys. Rev. X4, 031015 (2014)], it is known that while the second law of thermodynamics is satisfied by a joint system, the entropic balance for the subsystems is adjusted by a term related to the mutual information exchange rate between the two subsystems. In this article, we present a quantitative discussion of the conceptual link between the Horowitz-Esposito analysis and the Liang-Kleeman work on information transfer between dynamical system components [X. S. Liang and R. Kleeman, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 244101 (2005)]. In particular, the entropic balance arguments employed in the two approaches are compared. Notwithstanding all differences between the two formalisms, our work strengthens the Liang-Kleeman heuristic balance reasoning by showing its formal analogy with the recent Horowitz-Esposito thermodynamic balance arguments.

description: The physical and chemical properties of the encapsulation material define the long term stability of the
module, its sensitivity to corrosion and potential induced degradation (PID) and the cell to module losses (CTM).
Alternative materials to EVA do offer a possibility to increase the volume resistivity hence the stability against PID
effect, better light transmissivity and enhanced stability during climatic testing. The paper investigated the
performance of a newly developed encapsulation material, so called polyolefin elastomer (POE), on module level and
compared it to the standard EVA material. For this we performed an investigation during damp heat (DH) testing for
ribbons soldered or connected by means of conductive gluing to the solar cells. Further tests included extended
humidity freeze (HF), a long-term PID, determination of cell to module losses for standard crystalline solar cells as
well as IBC Zebra cells and the stability during thermo-cycling (TC). After 4400 hours of DH and HF40 test neither
discoloration nor any larger power losses were found. The results after TC300 confirmed a superior performance for
POE. We further found that samples with POE material show significantly less PID degradation and reduced CTM
losses if compared to samples comprising EVA as encapsulation material.

description: We report the initial results of deep eROSITA monitoring of the "magnificent seven" isolated neutron stars (INSs). Thanks to a combination of high count statistics and good energy resolution, the eROSITA datasets unveil the increasingly complex energy distribution of these presumably simple thermal emitters. For three targets, we report the detection of multiple (in some cases, phase-dependent) spectral absorption features and deviations from the dominant thermal continuum. Unexpected long-term changes of spectral state and timing behaviour have additionally been observed for two INSs. The results pose challenging theoretical questions on the nature of the variations and absorption features and ultimately impact the modeling of the atmosphere and cooling of highly magnetised neutron stars.

description: We investigate continuous-time quantum walks of two fermionic atoms loaded in one-dimensional optical lattices with on-site interaction and subjected to a Zeeman field. The quantum walks are accompanied by spin-flipping processes. We calculate the time-dependent density distributions of the two fermions with opposite spins which are initially positioned on the center site by means of exact numerical method. Besides the usual fast linear expansion behavior, we find an interesting spin-flipping induced localization in the time-evolution of density distributions. We show that the fast linear expansion behavior could be restored by simply ramping on the Zeeman field or further increasing the spin-flipping strength. The intrinsic origin of this exotic phenomenon is attributed to the emergence of a flat band in the single particle spectrum of the system. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of on-site interaction on the dynamics of the quantum walkers. The two-particle correlations are calculated and signal of localization is also shown therein. A simple potential experimental application of this interesting phenomenon is proposed.

presented for the case where the propagation angle of trapped light is the same at all passes of light across the device.
This solution models exactly Lambertian light trapping and allows simulating crystalline silicon on glass (CSG) photovoltaic
devices. Moreover, it individuates an equivalence that is likely to facilitate device modeling. A reported approach
to Lambertian light trapping is shown not to provide physically consistent results.

description: Several populations of neutron stars have surface magnetic fields above the critical strength of 4.4 x 10^{13} G where the electron cyclotron energy equals its rest mass energy. These include high-field rotation-powered pulsars, X-ray dim isolated neutron stars (XDIN), and magnetars. In such ultra-strong fields, quantum effects in physical processes as well as additional exotic Quantum Electrodynamic processes only occurring at these high field strengths have a significant influence on the emitted radiation. Although very strong magnetic fields play a critical role both inside and outside of neutron stars, I will review primarily processes that operate in the neutron star magnetospheres and how they influence the observed radiation.

description: During its 2005 outburst, GRO J1655-40 was observed at high spectral resolution with the Chandra HETGS, revealing a spectrum rich with blueshifted absorption lines indicative of an accretion disk wind -- apparently too hot, too dense, and too close to the black hole to be driven by radiation pressure or thermal pressure (Miller et al.). But this exotic wind represents just one piece of the puzzle in this outburst, as its presence coincides with an extremely soft and curved X-ray continuum spectrum, remarkable X-ray variability (Uttley & Klein-Wolt), and a bright, unexpected optical/infrared blackbody component that varies on the orbital period. Focusing on the X-ray continuum and the optical/infrared/UV spectral energy distribution, we argue that the unusual features of this "hypersoft state" are natural consequences of a super-Eddington Compton-thick wind from the disk: the optical/infrared blackbody represents the cool photosphere of a dense, extended outflow, while the X-ray emission is explained as Compton scattering by the relatively cool, optically thick wind. This wind obscures the intrinsic luminosity of the inner disk, which we suggest may have been at or above the Eddington limit.

description: A detailed investigation of glasses with different anti-reflection (AR) coatings for PV modules is
presented. Three types of coating structures (dense structure; closed-pores and open-pores) and their influence on PV
modules are evaluated from a performance point of view. The results show that, compared to traditional open-pores
structures, the dense structure shows an excellent reliability due to its unique structure: dense, smooth, hydrophobic
surface and a polymer network between nano-particles. This type of AR coating also presents a good resistance to salt
water spray or seawater immersion, damp-heat, humidity-freeze and abrasion. The AR coating with a closed-pores
structure has an excellent performance (high optical gain) and a good reliability (good resistance to salt water or
seawater, damp-heat and humidity-freeze), due to its novel structure: easily controlled porosity, closed and smooth
surface and independent closed pores with no channel between pores. However, this type of AR coating is not suitable for
desert application due to its low resistance to abrasion.

description: Gaussian processes (GP) are a widely used model for regression problems in supervised machine learning. Implementation of GP regression typically requires $O(n^3)$ logic gates. We show that the quantum linear systems algorithm [Harrow et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 150502 (2009)] can be applied to Gaussian process regression (GPR), leading to an exponential reduction in computation time in some instances. We show that even in some cases not ideally suited to the quantum linear systems algorithm, a polynomial increase in efficiency still occurs.

description: Silicon is an ideal candidate to build massive energy storage solutions owing to its low cost (~$1.7/kg)
and abundance on earth. In this work, we describe a novel concept for energy storage in which the energy is stored in
the form of silicon’s latent heat and converted to electricity upon demand by thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cells. This
approach takes advantage of the extremely high latent heat (1.8 MJ/kg) and melting point (1410ºC) of silicon, and the
low weight and silent operation of the TPV cells. The proposed solution has potential to provide total energy (heat
plus electricity) storage densities approaching 1 MWh/m3, which is 12-15 times higher than that of lead-acid
batteries, 2-5 times than that of Li-ion batteries and 10-20 times than that of the molten salt PCMs utilized in CSP
systems. In the proposed system, 10-50% of the total energy could be delivered in the form of electricity, depending
on the particular TPV cell characteristics, and the remaining energy is supplied as heat (e.g. hot water) which could
be used in homes or factories.

description: This paper is devoted to confront two different approaches to the problem of dynam-ical perfect plasticity. Interpreting this model as a constrained boundary value Friedrichs' system enables one to derive admissible hyperbolic boundary conditions. Using variational methods, we show the well-posedness of this problem in a suitable weak measure theoretic setting. Thanks to the property of finite speed propagation, we establish a new regularity result for the solution in short time. Finally, we prove that this variational solution is actually a solution of the hyperbolic formulation in a suitable dissipative/entropic sense, and that a partial converse statement holds under an additional time regularity assumption for the dissipative solutions.

description: This article considers the minimization of the total number of infected individuals over the course of an epidemic in which the rate of infectious contacts can be reduced by time-dependent nonpharmaceutical interventions. The societal and economic costs of interventions are taken into account using a linear budget constraint which imposes a trade-off between short-term heavy interventions and long-term light interventions. We search for an optimal intervention strategy in an infinite-dimensional space of controls containing multiple consecutive lockdowns, gradually imposed and lifted restrictions, and various heuristic controls based for example on tracking the effective reproduction number. Mathematical analysis shows that among all such strategies, the global optimum is achieved by a single constant-level lockdown of maximum possible magnitude. Numerical simulations highlight the need of careful timing of such interventions, and illustrate their benefits and disadvantages compared to strategies designed for minimizing peak prevalence. Rather counterintuitively, adding restrictions prior to the start of a well-planned intervention strategy may even increase the total incidence.

EDI, 2019). Um dieses Recht auf Chancengleichheit in der Bildung zu gewähren, braucht es ein integratives Bildungssystem (vgl. BRK, 2019, Art. 24). Eine Massnahme bildet der Nachteilsausgleich, welcher zum Ziel hat Erschwernisse auszugleichen. Wie Betroffene über diese Massnahme in der Berufsbildung informiert werden, welchen Weg bis zum Erhalt sie gehen müssen, welche Massnahmen praktiziert werden und welche weiteren inklusiven Methoden im Unterricht zur Anwendung kommen, sind Fragen dieser Masterarbeit. Sie werden mit Hilfe qualitativer Interviews und unter Einbezug der quantitativen Ergebnisse des «Enhanced Inclusive Learning»-Projekts beantwortet. Empfehlungen werden abgeleitet.

description: The Multi Busbar metallization approach changes the interconnection architecture on silicon solar cells
essentially. Compared to a standard H-pattern design with three continuous soldered busbars, between 7 and 15 round
copper wires are soldered onto more than 200 solder pads on the front side of the solar cell. Due to the different
coefficients of thermal expansion of copper and silicon, mechanical stress is induced after the interconnection. In this
work we simulate the mechanical stress induced by soldering with a finite element model and experimentally verify the
simulated results. The characterization of the stress distribution in the solder joints of a 78 by 10 mm² cell section shows
that the cell bow, which is a visible indicator for mechanical stress, rises approximately from 4 to 9 mm when the wire
diameter is increased from 250 to 430 μm. Pre-stretching the interconnecting wires up to 1% before soldering causes a
slight increase of the cell bow. The verified simulation model allows the identification of reasons for potential defects of
solder joints after reliability testing and the determination of the areas where such defects most likely occur. In addition,
the model enables a comparison of the thermo-mechanical stress distribution of different interconnection concepts.

description: With TPedge we present an advanced frameless, polymer free encapsulation concept for silicon solar
cells which addresses several disadvantages and significant cost factors related to conventional solar modules.
“TPedge” represents a gas-filled, edge sealed, glass-glass module without polymeric encapsulation foils that requires
less module production time. The cost calculation indicates 15.3% lower module material costs for “TPedge”
production compared to the standard module production due to savings for encapsulation foils and frame. The results
from successful and extended module testing such as 400x thermal cycling (PSTC = 0%), 2000 hours damp-heat
(PSTC = -1.4%) or 5400 Pa (PSTC = -0.9%) mechanical load testing show that critical IEC tests are passed.
Additional results show PID stability, hot-spot stability (PSTC = -0.6%) and successful hail impact testing (PSTC = -
0.5%). We consider the TPedge-concept to be ready for IEC certification.

description: Based on dynamic renormalization group techniques, this letter analyzes the effects of external stochastic perturbations on the dynamical properties of cholesteric liquid crystals, studied in presence of a random magnetic field. Our analysis quantifies the nature of the temperature dependence of the dynamics; the results also highlight a hitherto unexplored regime in cholesteric liquid crystal dynamics. We show that stochastic fluctuations drive the system to a second-ordered Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition point, eventually leading to a Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class. The results go beyond quasi-first order mean-field theories, and provides the first theoretical understanding of a KPZ phase in distorted nematic liquid crystal dynamics.

Synthetic Control As Online Linear Regression

description: This paper notes a simple connection between synthetic control and online learning. Specifically, we recognize synthetic control as an instance of Follow-The-Leader (FTL). Standard results in online convex optimization then imply that, even when outcomes are chosen by an adversary, synthetic control predictions of counterfactual outcomes for the treated unit perform almost as well as an oracle weighted average of control units' outcomes. Synthetic control on differenced data performs almost as well as oracle weighted difference-in-differences, potentially making it an attractive choice in practice. We argue that this observation further supports the use of synthetic control estimators in comparative case studies.

description: Diese Masterarbeit befasst sich mit der Frage, inwiefern Heilpädagoginnen und Heilpädagogen unter Flow-förderlichen Bedingungen arbeiten. Die theoretische Untermauerung setzt sich u.a. mit den Begriffen „Flow“ und den damit verbundenen Kriterien auseinander. In diesem Zusammenhang werden Flow-förderliche Faktoren aus den Forschungen zum Flow von Lehrpersonen erläutert. Mithilfe einer Online-Umfrage wird die Häufigkeit von Flow, sowie das Vorhandensein bestimmter Flow-förderlicher Faktoren bei Heilpädagoginnen und Heilpädagogen erforscht. 82 Personen haben an der Umfrage über LimeSurvey teilgenommen. Die Daten wurden hauptsächlich deskriptiv ausgewertet. Die Resultate deuten darauf hin, dass die Mehrheit der Probanden tendenziell oft bei der Arbeit in den Flow kommt. Mehrere Faktoren sprechen dafür, dass ein Zusammenhang zwischen den vorhandenen Flow-förderlichen Faktoren und der Häufigkeit von Flow besteht.

description: We present two applications of the Green's expression for saturation current vs. bandgap (Eg). The first
one regards the evaluation of Eg in solar cells. The approach is based on the determination of the saturation current in
the quasi-neutral regions (QNR) to be inserted into the Green's expression to find Eg. The saturation current in the
QNR is obtained by fitting the I-V curves of the device under exam with a reported method using the double-diode
model. A validation method is also given. The application is tested on the cells of Si and CIGS modules, whose performance
parameters are measured. Due to the lack of information about the material parameters of the module cells
no certain conclusions about the accuracy of the found Eg-values can be drawn. In Si, however, all Eg-values are lower
than the intrinsic value, which is expected due to doping. The second application aims at the characterization of
CIGS solar cells with respect to the kind of prevailing recombination in QNR by means of fits to performance data
vs. Eg. To test the application, we have collected published performance-data vs. Eg for various sets of CIGS cells.
Successful results are obtained. Using the Green's expression for saturation current vs. Eg to fit the performance data
vs. Eg allows in fact ascertaining from the value to be assigned to a parameter what kind of recombination is overcoming
in the QNR of the relevant cells.

description: We introduce the cross-cavity quantum Rabi model describing the interaction of a single two-level system with two orthogonal boson fields and propose its quantum simulation by two-dimensional, bichromatic, first-sideband driving of a single trapped ion. We provide an introductory survey of the model, including its diagonalization in the two-level system basis, numerical spectra and its characteristics in the weak, ultra strong and deep strong coupling regimes. We also show that the particular case of degenerate field frequencies and balanced couplings allows us to cast the model as two parity deformed oscillators in any given coupling regime.

description: In this work, we propose different models of extended theories of gravity, which are minimally coupled to the SM fields, to explain the possibility of a dark matter (DM) candidate, without ad-hoc additions to the Standard Model (SM). We modify the gravity sector by allowing quantum corrections motivated from local $f(R)$ gravity, and non-minimally coupled gravity with SM sector and dilaton field. Using an effective field theory (EFT) framework, we constrain the scale of the EFT and DM mass. We consider two cases-Light DM (LDM) and Heavy DM (HDM), and deduce upper bounds on the DM annihilation cross section to SM particles.

description: We study the point pair function in subdomains $G$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$. We prove that, for every domain $G\subsetneq\mathbb{R}^n$, the this function is a quasi-metric with the constant less than or equal to $\sqrt{5}\slash2$. Moreover, we show that it is a metric in the domain $G=\mathbb{R}^n\setminus\{0\}$ with $n\geq1$. We also consider generalized versions of the point pair function, depending on an arbitrary constant $α>0$, and show that in some domains these generalizations are metrics if and only if $α\leq12$.

description: Die vorliegende Literaturarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Relevanz der Resilienzforschung für die (sonder)pädagogische Praxis, insbesondere mit der Frage, ob Resilienz in diesem Kontext förderbar ist und was die Gelingensbedingungen hierfür sind. Zahlreiche Längsschnittstudien haben gezeigt, dass Gedeihen trotz widriger Umstände (Werner, 2006) auch in risikobelastetem Umfeld möglich ist. Konkrete Wirkfaktoren konnten anhand von Einzelfallstudien analysiert werden. Der Erfolg verschiedener Trainingsprogramme zur Resilienzförderung wurde empirisch nachgewiesen. Es besteht in der Literatur weitgehend Einigkeit darin, dass die entscheidenden Bedingungen für Resilienzförderung ein ermutigendes, partizipatives Schulklima und die Qualität der pädagogischen Beziehung sind. Zum Verständnis und zu den Handlungsperspektiven für Pädagogen leistet u.a. die Bindungsforschung einen wesentlichen Beitrag.

description: We report perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in the half-metallic ferromagnetic Heusler alloy Co$_2$Fe$_{0.4}$Mn$_{0.6}$Si (CFMS) in a MgO/CFMS/Pd trilayer stack. PMA is found for CFMS thicknesses between 1 and 2 nm, with a magnetic anisotropy energy density of $K_U = 1.5\times 10^6$ erg/cm$^3$ for t$_{\tiny \textrm{CFMS}} = 1.5$ nm. Both the MgO and Pd layer are necessary to induce the PMA. We measure a tunable anomalous Hall effect, where its sign and magnitude vary with both the CFMS and Pd thickness.
