description: Background: Recent findings suggest that disruptions of sleep-related memory processing are involved in the development of posttraumatic stress symptoms. More specifically, exposure to an analogue traumatic event resulted in fewer intrusive memories, when it was followed by sleep instead of continued wakefulness. However, competing evidence suggests that sleep deprivation may reduce intrusive re-experiencing. To address these conflicting accounts, we examined how sleep – as opposed to partial sleep deprivation – modulates explicit and implicit trauma memory using an analogue procedure. Methods: Healthy participants (N = 41) were assigned to a Sleep or Partial sleep deprivation group. Prior to nocturnal sleep, both groups were exposed to “traumatic“ picture stories. After sleep or partial sleep deprivation, participants were subjected to tests of explicit and implicit memory for potential trauma reminders. Thereafter, participants completed an intrusion triggering task that was embedded in a distractor task. Results: Analyses revealed higher explicit memory for potential trauma reminders after sleep as compared to partial sleep deprivation. No group differences were found for implicit memory. Participants responded with fewer intrusions after sleep than following partial sleep deprivation. Conclusions: The current findings support a protective role of sleep in trauma memory processing, which may be evident after the first night of sleep post-trauma. Although more research is needed, our results corroborate the importance of promoting restful sleep in trauma-exposed individuals. • Sleep enhanced voluntary trauma memory.• Sleep did not enhance implicit trauma memory.• Sleep was associated with decreased intrusions.• Future studies should investigate effects of sleep-based interventions on PTSD symptoms.

description: Background: Developmental trauma disorder (DTD) has been proposed to describe the biopsychosocial sequelae of exposure to interpersonal victimization in childhood that extend beyond the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Objective: To characterize the psychopathology comorbid with DTD and to determine whether this comorbidity is distinct from, and extends beyond, comorbidities of PTSD. Method: DTD was assessed by structured interview, and probable Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV) psychiatric disorders were identified with screening modules on the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia, Present/Lifetime version (K-SADS-PL), in a multi-site sample of 236 children (7–18 years old; 50% female) referred by paediatric or mental health providers. Results: DTD (N = 80, 34%) and PTSD (N = 69, 29%) were highly comorbid and shared several DSM-IV internalizing disorder and DSM, 5th Edition (DSM-5) dysregulation disorder comorbidities. However, DTD, but not PTSD, was associated with comorbid panic disorder and disruptive behaviour disorders. On a multivariate basis including all probable DSM-IV disorders and DSM-5 dysregulation disorders, DTD was associated with separation anxiety disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder after controlling for PTSD, while PTSD was associated with major depression and generalized anxiety disorder after controlling for DTD. Conclusions: DTD’s comorbidities overlap with but extend beyond those of PTSD to include panic, separation anxiety, and disruptive behaviour disorders. DTD warrants further investigation as a potential diagnosis or a complex variant of PTSD in children, similar to the adult symptoms of disturbances of self-organization in the proposed International Classification of Diseases, 11th revision (ICD-11) complex post-traumatic stress disorder subtype. • Developmental trauma disorder (DTD) is a proposed complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) syndrome for children. • Comorbidities that are unique to DTD or not associated with PTSD include panic, separation anxiety, and disruptive behaviour disorders. • DTD may provide a new way to understand and treat traumatized children that is consistent with adult complex PTSD (CPTSD).

description: In this paper, a novel approach for coding nominal data is proposed. For the given nominal data, a rank in a form of complex number is assigned. The proposed method does not lose any information about the attribute and brings other properties previously unknown. The approach based on these knew properties can been used for classification. The analyzed example shows that classification with the use of coded nominal data or both numerical as well as coded nominal data is more effective than the classification, which uses only numerical data.

description: The increasing development of photovoltaic (PV) technologies allows for more feasible PV products, that can split the fixed big electrical infrastructure into smaller mobile systems, suitable for future smart buildings. This research, investigates opportunities for interior PV (IPV) products, that harvest indoor ambient light. The outcome is a working prototype of a standalone indoor solar lamp. An indoor light simulation model is presented and validated for two rooms in Delft with absolute error of 10% compared to measurements over five days per room. The prototype consists of a tailor-made, foil-to-foil laminated PV module, consisting of 36 pieces of laser cut SunPower interdigitated back contact (IBC) cells. At standard test conditions, a maximum DC output of 35.9 Wp was measured, corresponding to a module efficiency of 20.3%. Furthermore, a charge controller with maximum power point tracking algorithm was used to charge a 12 V polymer lithium-ion battery pack. The combination of pyroelectric infrared (PIR) motion sensor detector and a light sensor module assures a conservative use of a 2.4 W strip of light emitting diodes (LED).

description: Previous studies have shown the existence of an excess of emission at submillimeter (submm) and millimeter (mm) wavelengths in the spectral energy distribution (SED) of many low-metallicity galaxies. The goal of the present study is to model separately the emission from the star forming (SF) component and the emission from the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) in the nearby spiral galaxy M33. We decomposed the observed SED of M33 into its SF and diffuse components. Mid-infrared (MIR) and far-infrared (FIR) fluxes were extracted from Spitzer and Herschel data. At submm and mm wavelengths, we used ground-based observations from APEX to measure the emission from the SF component and data from the Planck space telescope to estimate the diffuse emission. Both components were separately fitted using radiation transfer models based on standard dust properties and a realistic geometry. Both modeled SEDs were combined to build the global SED of M33. In addition, the radiation field necessary to power the dust emission in our modeling was compared with observations from GALEX, Sloan, and Spitzer. Our modeling is able to reproduce the observations at MIR and FIR wavelengths, but we found a strong excess of emission at submm and mm wavelengths, where the model expectations severely underestimate the LABOCA and Planck fluxes. We also found that the ultraviolet (UV) radiation escaping the galaxy is 70% higher than the model predictions. We determined a gas-to-dust mass ratio Gdust~100, significantly lower than the value expected from the sub-solar metallicity of M33. We discussed different hypotheses to explain the discrepancies found in our study (i.e., excess of emission at submm and mm wavelengths, deficit of UV attenuation, and abnormally low value of Gdust), concluding that different dust properties in M33 is the most plausible explanation.

description: Electrokinetic transport phenomena can strongly influence the behaviour of macromolecules and colloidal particles in solution, with applications in, e.g., DNA translocation through nanopores, electro-osmotic flow in nanocapillaries, and electrophoresis of charged macromolecules. Numerical simulations are an important tool to investigate these electrokinetic phenomena, but are often plagued by spurious fluxes and spurious flows that can easily exceed physical fluxes and flows. Here, we present a method that reduces one of these spurious currents, spurious flow, by several orders of magnitude. We demonstrate the effectiveness and generality of our method for both electrokinetic lattice-Boltzmann and finite-element-method based algorithms by simulating a charged sphere in an electrolyte solution, and flow through a nanopore. We also show that previous attempts to suppress these spurious currents introduce other sources of error.

description: Building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technology has the potential to significantly contribute to the achievement of the demanding energy efficiency targets set by the EU. However, its market uptake has been hindered in the past years by the difficulties of the industry in providing holistic solutions complying with key demands from decision makers and end-users. This market deployment depends critically on the achievement of ambitious targets in terms of significant cost reduction, flexibility of design, high performance, reliability in the long-term, aesthetics, standardization, and compliance with legal regulations. Within this context, BIPV stakeholders currently dealing with design, manufacturing and installation, invest significant amount of resources and time (with an impact on the final cost) to translate potential clients’ requests and wishes into a BIPV project proposal with a technical layout, economic offer and feasibility analysis for energy production and installation (efficiencyperformance, cost, building skin integration, compliance with regulations, etc.). An integrated and collaborative digital process where information is defined, stored and shared between stakeholders through a digital model and an integrated platform, would reduce efforts, time, repetitive work, risk of mistakes, information losses, etc., transforming an almost “manual” and fragmented work into an interoperable workflow along the value chain. Overcoming these challenges to support cost reduction of BIPV can be achieved by the implementation of BIM (Building information modelling/management) from the construction sector into the BIPV value-chain, in order to introduce a digital and integrated process, supported by methodologies and platforms, ensuring clear structures, efficient processes, less time, lower costs and higher quality across the entire lifecycle. In this purpose, the European H2020 project BIPVBOOST (www.bipvboost.eu), identified the need for a transfer of a BIMbased digital approach from the construction sector to the whole BIPV process, thus achieving a substantial reduction of the cost along the value chain (from design to installation). The overall ambition of this study is to highlight BIM activities developed within BIPVBOOST, providing clear definition of the reference BIPV process, including its information categories and KPIs for cost-reduction and developing, from the early design phase, the use of BIM-based software tools for the simulation of PV together with the building energy performance.

description: The dynamic sector of Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is progressively achieving a level of technical maturity and one of the major challenges to address in the coming years will be cost-effectiveness towards a mass-market implementation. Supported by the increasing technological development, by digitization and process innovation, such systems will have to be ready on the next frontier: to be integrated throughout the regular construction market in order to make cities healthier and powered by on-site solar renewables. BIPV products, evolving towards multifunctional products, will need more clear qualification and certification processes as construction products to promote commercialization throughout the EU, based on dedicated standards supporting higher market confidence. The H2020 project "BIPVBOOST" [1] is focused on obtaining a reduction in costs along the entire production chain by pursuing product and process innovation, thus supporting the BIPV implementation in the built environment. As introduced by the authors [2] [3], EN 50583: 2016 Parts 1 & 2 represent the main regulatory framework in Europe for BIPV whereas the IEC Project Team PT 63092 is currently preparing an international BIPV standard. Basically, the product qualification is currently based on standards created for standard PV or, on the other hand, for "non-active" traditional construction products. Starting from this framework, the analysis of the missing gaps and a roadmap to define new reference procedures for BIPV product qualification were set as a first step of the research. The next step of the project which is currently ongoing, is targeted to the development of some reference performance-based schemes, referred to a set of technical requirements and product families, which will aim at combining both PV and construction requirements in a harmonized assessment. The paper will present the basic aspects of the procedures under development: Energy economy; Electrical performance in non-conventional scenarios; Mechanical performance of BIPV elements; Fire reaction of BIPV components/systems.

description: We consider the problem of quantum-state tomography under the assumption that the state is pure, and more generally that its rank is bounded by a given value $r$. In this scenario two notions of informationally complete measurements emerge: rank-$r$ complete measurements and rank-$r$ strictly-complete measurements. Whereas in the first notion, a rank-$r$ state is uniquely identified from within the set of rank-$r$ states, in the second notion the same state is uniquely identified from within the set of all physical states, of any rank. We argue, therefore, that strictly-complete measurements are compatible with convex optimization, and we prove that they allow robust quantum state estimation in the presence of experimental noise. We also show that rank-$r$ strictly-complete measurements are as efficient as rank-$r$ complete measurements. We construct examples of strictly-complete measurements and give a complete description of their structure in the context of matrix completion. Moreover, we numerically show that a few random bases form such measurements. We demonstrate the efficiency-robustness property for different strictly-complete measurements with numerical experiments. We thus conclude that only strictly-complete measurements are useful for practical tomography.

description: We present a customizable technique of coloring photovoltaic modules by laminating colored textiles onto photovoltaic cover glass (CoTex). A white nonwoven fabric is imprinted with any color, design or graphic and is then laminated onto an arbitrary, frameless photovoltaic module. The short-circuit current losses of these modules range from 12% to 32% and depends on the color and its coverage, i.e. how much of the solar cell structure remains visible. We fabricate CoTex test modules in cyan, magenta and yellow with different print coverages to experimentally analyze their external quantum efficiency, reflection spectrum, energy yield, and appearance. These experiments on the three basic colors forms the basis for using digital prototypes that predict the energy yield and the printing parameters for arbitrary colors.

description: The dual use of a photovoltaic module as a road surface element imposes additional and demanding constraints on the design of the module and on the materials used in its construction. In real use conditions of passing traffic and climatological extremes, the solar road module has to withstand severe mechanical, physical and chemical solicitations while maintaining its PV electricity generation capability. The validation of a solar road module product therefore requires a broad reliability testing strategy far beyond the standard PV module certification protocols. The solar road module we present in this paper, on one hand preserves a module power evolution in TC and DH testing comparable to classic PV modules. On the other hand, we discuss a number of severe mechanical tests related to its use as a road surface, which the module also passes with success: metallic shock impact test up to 10 J; 460 kg weight drop test up to 3.2 MPa; metallic indentation test up to 120 MPa; carrousel traffic test up to 20 years equivalent lifetime. Finally, a beginning is made with combined climatic – mechanical testing, which will be further pursued in the future.
title: Essays on economic growth, military expenditure, armed conflict, and corruption
Creators: name: Shoukat, Hafsa
Publisher: name: University of Reading

description: This thesis is a collection of three essays, which investigate the direct and indirect impacts of military expenditure, armed conflicts, and corruption on economic growth. The first essay is set in the context of Pakistan and India from 1960-2019. Pakistan and India provide particularly useful case studies because both countries allocate substantially higher budgets to their military sectors due to their protracted internal and external conflicts. Moving on to the second essay, where we extend this analysis to 61 countries by using data from 1975-2018. There are two main reasons to extend this analysis: First, to investigate this relationship at a broader level. Second, to check how this relationship varies across income groups. The final paper introduces the inclusion of corruption into the analysis and reduces the time period from 2000-2018 because of the unavailability of data on corruption before 2000. This essay investigates two important questions:(1) how does military expenditure impact economic growth in the absence and presence of corruption? (2) how does the relationship between military expenditure, armed conflicts and economic growth vary if the time period changes from 1975-2019 to 2000-2019.

description: Background: Recent research has identified a general psychopathology factor (GPF), which explains overlap in presentation of psychopathological symptoms. Unresolved–disorganized attachment (Ud) is another transdiagnostic risk factor that may be relevant to explain differences in patient characteristics within diagnostic classifications. Objective: In the current study, we examined unique relations of resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) with Ud and GPF. Method: RSFC data were collected from a mixed group of adolescents (N = 74) with and without psychiatric disorder, as part of the Emotional Pathways’ Imaging Study in Clinical Adolescents (EPISCA) study. Ud was measured using the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI). Associations between Ud, GPF, and RSFC of the amygdala and dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) and with amygdala–medial frontal connectivity were examined. Results: Ud was positively associated with greater functional connectivity between the left amygdala and the left lateral occipital cortex, precuneus, and superior parietal lobule. Furthermore, Ud was negatively associated with left amygdala–medial frontal cortex connectivity. GPF was not significantly associated with dACC or amygdala connectivity. Conclusions: Atypical amygdala connectivity may reflect a vulnerability factor rather than a biomarker of psychopathology. The unique association of Ud and amygdala RSFC, adjusted for a GPF, across participants with and without various classifications of psychopathology illustrates that dimensional approaches based on the AAI may complement psychiatric classifications in clinical research and practice. • Unresolved–disorganized attachment adjusted for a general psychopathology factor is positively associated with greater left amygdala resting-state functional connectivity and the left lateral occipital cortex, precuneus, and superior parietal lobule.• Unresolved–disorganized attachment is negatively associated with left amygdala–medial frontal cortex connectivity.• The general psychopathology factor is not significantly associated with dorsal anterior cingulate cortex or amygdala connectivity.

description: This study aimed at identifying factors that affect E-banking adoption in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The study used both quantitative and qualitative (mixed) research approach with a survey design to collect and analyze the data. Target population of this study were walk-in individual customers of selected commercial banks in Addis Ababa. Eight Commercial Banks (Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, Awash international Bank, Dashen Bank, Bank of Abyssinia, Wegagen Bank, Buna International Bank, Oromia International and United Bank) were selected for the purpose of the study. Primary data was collected through questionnaire and interview and secondary data such as annual reports of the National Bank of Ethiopia and the selected eight commercial banks were used. 481 samples of walk-in customers were selected randomly from these selected banks and 387 of them participated in responding to the questionnaire; branch managers of the respective banks also interviewed to have more insight on customers' perspective towards the e-banking offerings. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Multiple linear regression model was developed and employed to test the hypothesized relationship proposed in this study considering seven psychographic and three demographic variables. The findings of the study revealed that the psychographic variables (perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, perceived risk, perceived cost and facilitating conditions) have positive and statistically significant effect on E-Banking adoption whereas perceived risk and perceived cost have negative and statistically significant effect on E-banking adoption. On the other hand, perceived trust and Social influence were found to have positive but statistically insignificant effect on E-Banking adoption. Besides, out of the three demographic variables (income, education and age), only income was found to have positive and statistically significant effect on E-Banking adoption while respondents' age and education level were not.

description: We propose a new integrated photovoltaic module technology and manufacturing process for the seamless integration into box body roofs of commercial trucks to unlock a 90.2 GW potential in the EU. Our approach is to laminate c-Si photovoltaic cells with an ETFE-top cover onto conventional GFRP-hard-foam sandwich elements, which can be directly installed with conventional box body profiles. We find that VIPV modules must be lead-free and report results of Hot-Spot, Wet-leakage test and insulation tests to prove the electrical safety of the new concept. We perform UV, DH and accelerated TC testing on minimodules and find a mean PMPP drop of 3.6% for PERC, ribbon soldered half-cell modules after accelerated TC200 due to finger failure and partial ribbon disconnections. We conclude that conventional soldered ribbon based interconnection in combination with polymer based cover materials lead to unfavorable thermomechanical stresses in TC. We propose the usage of interconnection technologies that are less sensitive to thermomechanical stresses like Multiwire or shingling as we find that the mean drop in PMPP of shingle modules to be 1%. PERC Solar cells encapsulated using the proposed module design remain stable after DH1000 and UV 60 kWh/m². We equipped a Mega electronics e-Worker with a photovoltaic active box body featuring the first generation of proposed module technology and reported initial monitoring results after 10 months of outdoor operation.

description: A round-robin test on a BIPV-module has been performed within the framework of the IEA PVPS Task15. Identical modules from the same series have been measured indoors under STC-conditions to be equal in rated power within a largest difference between lowest and highest performing module of 0.3%. Nine sites spread over the world – with a clear focus on Europe – measured one BIPV-module from this series in a well-described mock-up that mimics a ventilated cold façade. Due to storm damage only seven sites could measure a long enough period to be of value for the comparison. The longest measured period has been around 2 years. However, for each site the best one-year period with hardly any missing datapoints has been selected. Data filtering was needed to account for various measurement failure and errors that are typically occurring in outdoor performance measurements. Finally, datasets of around 40k datapoints per site (of 5-minute resampled time resolution) were analyzed by the IEC 61853-matrix approach. The matrix from this standard was extended with other parameters of interest. Because all sites have a different climate, the matrix is populated in different areas. Therefore, the PR-matrix was found best suited to use as a comparative tool with a threshold for each bin of the matrix set at minimal 0.5% contribution to full-year specific yield. The measurement accuracy in PR for each bin was found to be about 2%, of which the irradiance sensor (either calibrated reference cell or secondary standard pyranometer) is the most contributing. The finally composed bin-wised averaged PR-matrix shows large areas of small difference between sites that are about equal to the measurement accuracy. But there are also areas of the matrix in which distinct features of a site can be observed. Most of these features could either be explained, or are most likely to be originating from an Angle-of-Incidence effect or spectral effect, which are outside the scope of this paper. In conclusion, the authors like to propose that one can quantify the energy performance of a (BI)PV-module in a well-defined mock-up, within a full measurement system accuracy of around +/-2% (with the irradiance sensor as bottleneck), independent of the local climate, following the measurement and analysis protocol of our round-robin as described in this paper.

description: This presentation was delivered by Zhengyi Chen at the "FIRST STRUCTURES IN THE UNIVERSE 2023" workshop in Paris. The original abstract for this presentation is as follows: "It is clear that galaxies in local clusters are different from those in the field. Environment must play an important role in shaping the ensemble of galaxies. However, we do not yet know when these physical processes are initiated and what mechanisms directly impact how galaxies evolve. We are using the Australian Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) to study the role of environment on the molecular gas content, the fuel of star formation, of distant, star- forming galaxies. These massive, heavily dust obscured sources are the likely progenitors of elliptical galaxies which dominate the light in local galaxy clusters. The cold molecular gas is the most direct ingredient of star-formation, and is commonly traced by carbon monoxide (CO). Galaxy protoclusters, where circumgalactic medium (CGM) is accreting to the web nodes through the filaments, are ideal laboratories to study the galaxy-CGM co-evolution characterized by inflow (e.g., gas accretion and recycle) and outflow processes. Within the ATCA large program COALAS (CO ATCA Legacy Archive of Star-forming Galaxies), we searched - via the ground-transition CO(1-0) - for cold molecular gas emission in the Spi- derweb galaxy protocluster, surrounding the radio galaxy MRC1138-262. We obtained a robust sample of several dozen CO(1-0) detections physically related to the targeted galaxy cluster in formation. This is the largest sample of molecular gas measurements in a distant cluster to date. Through a pilot study, we discovered two massive extended CO gas reser- voirs (40 and 70 kpc large) in the Spiderweb protocluster. We speculate that such gigantic molecular-phase CGM could be an important driver for the built-up of massive galaxies in large scale structures. Triggered by our findings and aiming to test our hypothesis, we started the first systematic search for extended CGM within the 46 CO emitters physically related to the Spiderweb protocluster. In our contribution, we will introduce the method we used for searching, discuss the frequency of this phenomena, study the environmental impact, compare it with the literature and conclude on the mass assembly in large scale structures."

description: The gas temperature structure of protoplanetary disks is a key ingredient for interpreting various disk observations and for quantifying the subsequent evolution of these systems. The comparison of low- and mid-$J$ CO rotational lines is a powerful tool to assess the temperature gradient in the warm molecular layer of disks. Spectrally resolved high-$J$ ($J_{\rm u} > 14$) CO lines probe intermediate distances and heights from the star that are not sampled by (sub-)millimeter CO spectroscopy. This paper presents new {\it Herschel}/HIFI and archival PACS observations of $^{12}$CO, $^{13}$CO and \cii \ emission in 4 Herbig AeBe (HD 100546, HD 97048, IRS 48, HD 163296) and 3 T Tauri (AS 205, S CrA, TW Hya) disks. In the case of the T Tauri systems AS 205 and S CrA, the CO emission has a single-peaked profile, likely due to a slow wind. For all other systems, the {\it Herschel} CO spectra are consistent with pure disk emission and the spectrally-resolved lines (HIFI) and the CO rotational ladder (PACS) are analyzed simultaneously assuming power-law temperature and column density profiles, using the velocity profile to locate the emission in the disk. The temperature profile varies substantially from disk to disk. In particular, $T_{\rm gas}$ in the disk surface layers can differ by up to an order of magnitude among the 4 Herbig AeBe systems with HD 100546 being the hottest and HD 163296 the coldest disk of the sample. Clear evidence of a warm disk layer where $T_{\rm gas} > T_{\rm dust}$ is found in all the Herbig Ae disks. The observed CO fluxes and line profiles are compared to predictions of physical-chemical models. The primary parameters affecting the disk temperature structure are the flaring angle, the gas-to-dust mass ratio the scale height and the dust settling.

description: We have developed a numerical model of flare heating due to the dissipation of Alfvénic waves propagating from the corona to the chromosphere. With this model, we present an investigation of the key parameters of these waves on the energy transport, heating, and subsequent dynamics. For sufficiently high frequencies and perpendicular wave numbers, the waves dissipate significantly in the upper chromosphere, strongly heating it to flare temperatures. This heating can then drive strong chromospheric evaporation, bringing hot and dense plasma to the corona. We therefore find three important conclusions: (1) Alfvénic waves, propagating from the corona to the chromosphere, are capable of heating the upper chromosphere and the corona, (2) the atmospheric response to heating due to the dissipation of Alfvénic waves can be strikingly similar to heating by an electron beam, and (3) this heating can produce explosive evaporation.

description: Chemicals released in the air can be extremely dangerous for human beings and the environment. Hyperspectral images can be used to identify chemical plumes, however the task can be extremely challenging. Assuming we know a priori that some chemical plume, with a known frequency spectrum, has been photographed using a hyperspectral sensor, we can use standard techniques like the so called matched filter or adaptive cosine estimator, plus a properly chosen threshold value, to identify the position of the chemical plume. However, due to noise and sensors fault, the accurate identification of chemical pixels is not easy even in this apparently simple situation. In this paper we present a post-processing tool that, in a completely adaptive and data driven fashion, allows to improve the performance of any classification methods in identifying the boundaries of a plume. This is done using the Multidimensional Iterative Filtering (MIF) algorithm (arXiv:1411.6051, arXiv:1507.07173), which is a non-stationary signal decomposition method like the pioneering Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) method. Moreover, based on the MIF technique, we propose also a pre-processing method that allows to decorrelate and mean-center a hyperspectral dataset. The Cosine Similarity measure, which often fails in practice, appears to become a successful and outperforming classifier when equipped with such pre-processing method. We show some examples of the proposed methods when applied to real life problems.

description: Cognitive models of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) suggest maladaptive appraisals play a central role in the aetiology of this disorder. The current meta-analysis sought to provide a comprehensive, quantitative examination of the relationship between maladaptive appraisals and PTSD. One-hundred and 35 studies met study inclusion criteria and were subject to random effects meta-analysis. A large effect size was found for the relationship between appraisals and PTSD (r = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.51–0.56, k = 147), albeit with significant heterogeneity. In studies using only the Posttraumatic Cognitions Inventory or Child Post-traumatic Cognitions Inventory, the effect size remained large (r = 0.56; k = 104). In adults, appraisals about the self had a large effect size (r = 0.61), appraisals about the world had a medium effect size (r = 0.46) and self-blame appraisals had a small effect size (r = 0.28). In child/adolescent studies, large effect sizes were found for both ‘fragile person in a scary world’ and ‘permanent and disturbing change’ appraisals (r = 0.54 and r = 0.60, respectively). The effect size remained large in prospective longitudinal studies up to one year after trauma. There was no moderation effect for civilian vs military populations, questionnaire vs interview measures of PTSD, single vs multiple trauma exposure, or intentional vs unintentional trauma. The main effect size estimate was robust to sensitivity analyses concerning statistics used, study quality and outliers. These findings are consistent with the strong role for maladaptive appraisals in the aetiology of PTSD proposed by cognitive models. In particular, the role of self-appraisals in adults was highlighted. Avenues for future research include more studies in child, multiple trauma and military populations and longer-term follow up studies. • We examined the strength of the relationship between maladaptive appraisals and symptoms of PTSD in trauma-exposed adult and child populations.• One-hundred and 47 independent effect sizes from 135 studies (N=29,812 participants) were included.• A large effect size was found (r=0.53, 95% CI = 0.51-0.56).• In adults, appraisals about the self were more strongly related to PTSD than appraisals about the world, or self-blame.• Trauma-related appraisals are comparatively under-studied in military populations.• The effect size remained large up to 6 months following trauma and was medium at 12 months.

description: Electric vehicles are destined to become the main form of people transport in the near future. They are noise and emission free with the potential to offer completely zero-emission use when the energy used to charge their batteries is generated from renewable resources. On-board PV, PV that is integrated into the body of the car is a novel solution to provide this clean energy at the point of the consumption. In this study the case of vehicle integrated photovoltaics or VIPV is examined to quantify what PV could produce to meet the energy requirements of electric vehicles. The potential is interpreted in terms of a reduced need for charging and increased independence from the grid, reduction in CO2 emissions and financial benefits. With the use of an Energy Flow Model to simulate the charge and discharge of the electric vehicle battery, we consider the impact of location, car specifications and charging strategy on the total contribution made by PV. In one case study 41% of the required energy is provided by PV, and in another 5617km/year are provided by the PV suggesting that, with the technology available today, PV can have a significant impact on electric transport.

description: In the study the response time of ultrafast transistor and peak transient current to prevent melt down of nano-chips, the first principles transient current calculation plays an essential role in nanoelectronics. The first principles calculation of transient current through nano-devices for a period of time T is known to be extremely time consuming with the best scaling TN^3 where N is the dimension of the device. In this work, we provide an order O(1) algorithm that reduces the computational complexity to T^0 N^3 for large systems. Benchmark calculation has been done on graphene nanoribbons with N = 10^4 confirming the O(1) scaling. This breakthrough allows us to tackle many large scale transient problems including magnetic tunneling junctions and ferroelectric tunneling junctions that cannot be touched before.

description: We provide a general overview on vehicle integrated photovoltaics (VIPV) for passenger cars. Historic examples are reviewed to demonstrate that VIPV can provide an economic benefit due to the current and unique setting of very low solar cell costs and ambitious goals for electric vehicles. Subsequently, four guiding questions are addressed: 1. Which benefits are offered by VIPV, 2. Which potential costs are related to VIPV, 3. What are the challenges of VIPV and 4. What is the future potential of VIPV? It is shown that with a typical roof (1.7 – 2 m²) of a car equipped with solar cells, a solar driving distance of up to 1900-3400 km/year can be achieved and the cost for manufacturing such a solar module is estimated to be below 120 €/piece. Furthermore, using the full potential of solar integration in cars, a solar driving distance in the range of the yearly average driving distance of passenger cars in Germany (15,000 km/a) could be theoretically covered by VIPV.
