Slides for Distributed Energy Resources Require and Enable a Smart Electric Grid : Part 1
The electric utility industry is undergoing revolutionary change. Many foundations of the longstanding bulk electric system are eroding, and new grid models are emerging. One of the most significant new developments is the accelerating proliferation of distributed energy resources (DER). They pose both daunting challenges and desirable opportunities for existing electric grids. Learn why DER are on the rise, what they are, how they work, and what electric utilities can and should be doing about them.

description: "Der Wald des Mittelalters" soll im Folgenden nicht allein als historisches Dokument beschäftigen - als kultureller Text im 11. bis 13. Jahrhundert, dessen Bedeutung von einem System symbolischer Formen (Ernst Cassirer) oder den Organisationsniveaus einer Semiosphäre (Jurij M. Lotman) bestimmt wird. Ergänzt um den Faktor des historischen Archivs steht darüber hinaus die Form seiner Erinnerung zur Diskussion, wodurch er vielmehr als historisches Monument erscheint (Michel Foucault), als Palimpsest, dessen verblasste Inschriften Zeugnis vom Wechsel historischer Vorschriften abgeben.

description: We theoretically study the magnetoresistance of a CPP-GMR system with current confined paths (CCP) in the framework of Valet-Fert theory. The continuity equations for charge and spin currents are numerically solved with the three-dimensional CCP geometry by use of finite element method. It is confirmed that the MR ratio is enhanced by the CCP structure, which is consistent with the experimental results. Moreover, we find that there exists a certain contact width which maximize the MR ratio. We show that the contact width which maximize the MR ratio is well described by the effective resistance matching.

description: We report the synthesis and measurement of an ultra-precise and extremely stable optical frequency in the telecommunications window around 1543 nm. Using a fibre-based femtosecond frequency comb we have phase-stabilised a fibre laser at 194 THz to an optical frequency standard at 344 THz, thus transferring the properties of the optical frequency standard to another spectral region. Relative to the optical frequency standard, the synthesised frequency at 194 THz is determined to within 1 mHz and its fractional frequency instability is measured to be less than 2*10^{-15} at 1 s, reaching 5*10^{-18} after 8000 s. We also measured the synthesised frequency against a caesium fountain clock: here the frequency comparison itself contributes less than 4 mHz (2*10^{-17}) to the uncertainty. Our results confirm the suitability of fibre based frequency comb technology for precision measurements and frequency synthesis, and enable long-distance comparison of optical clocks by using optical fibres to transmit the frequency information.

description: Aims: We present the first measurements of the solar-wind angular-momentum (AM) flux recorded by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft. Our aim is the validation of these measurements to support future studies of the Sun's AM loss. Methods: We combine 60-minute averages of the proton bulk moments and the magnetic field measured by the Solar Wind Analyser (SWA) and the magnetometer (MAG) onboard Solar Orbiter. We calculate the AM flux per solid-angle element using data from the first orbit of the mission's cruise phase during 2020. We separate the contributions from protons and from magnetic stresses to the total AM flux. Results: The AM flux varies significantly over time. The particle contribution typically dominates over the magnetic-field contribution during our measurement interval. The total AM flux shows the largest variation and is typically anti-correlated with the radial solar-wind speed. We identify a compression region, potentially associated with a co-rotating interaction region or a coronal mass ejection, that leads to a significant localised increase in the AM flux, yet without a significant increase in the AM per unit mass. We repeat our analysis using the density estimate from the Radio and Plasma Waves (RPW) instrument. Using this independent method, we find a decrease in the peaks of positive AM flux but otherwise consistent results. Conclusions: Our results largely agree with previous measurements of the solar-wind AM flux in terms of amplitude, variability, and dependence on radial solar-wind bulk speed. Our analysis highlights the potential for future, more detailed, studies of the solar wind's AM and its other large-scale properties with data from Solar Orbiter. We emphasise the need to study the radial evolution and latitudinal dependence of the AM flux in combination with data from Parker Solar Probe and assets at heliocentric distances of 1 au and beyond.

Slides presented at  Session 3: Wholesale Electricity Market Modeling and Pricing
For nearly two decades, electricity markets have existed to facilitate the buying and selling of electricity at the wholesale level and to ensure the constant availability of competitively priced electricity.  Electricity markets, however, are very different from traditional markets.  They are designed to help ensure system reliability and prices are determined by an algorithm.  This tutorial will discuss the fundamental aspects of how electricity markets in the U.S. are currently modeled and operated, and how prices are determined.  Several examples will be used to help present these concepts.  In addition, some frameworks to integrate carbon pricing into wholesale electricity markets will be discussed.

Thermally driven winds in ULXs

description: The presence of radiatively driven outflows is well established in ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs). These outflows are optically thick and can reprocess a significant fraction of the accretion luminosity. Assuming isotropic emission, escaping radiation from the outflow's photosphere has the potential to irradiate the outer disc. Here, we explore how the atmosphere of the outer disc would respond to such irradiation, and specifically whether unstable heating may lead to significant mass loss via thermally-driven winds. We find that, for a range of physically relevant system parameters, this mass loss may actually switch off the inflow entirely and potentially drive limit-cycle behaviour (likely modulated on the timescale of the outer disc). In ULXs harbouring neutron stars, magnetic fields tend to have a slight destabilizing effect; for the strongest magnetic fields and highest accretion rates, this can push otherwise stable systems into the unstable regime. We explore the prevalence of the instability in a simulated sample of ULXs obtained from a binary population synthesis calculation. We find that almost all neutron star and black hole ULXs with Eddington-scaled accretion rates of $\dot{m}_0 < 100$ should be able to drive powerful outflows from their outer discs. Several known ULXs are expected to lie in this regime; the persistence of accretion in these sources implies the irradiation may be anisotropic which can be reconciled with the inferred reprocessed (optical) emission if some of this originates in the wind photosphere or irradiation of the secondary star.

PSYCHOLOGY OF CHILDREN WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Despite the vast literature supporting the efficacy of stimulant medication in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), several limitations of pharmacological treatments highlight the clear need for effective psychosocial treatments to be identified. A large evidence base exists for behavioral interventions, including parent training and school interventions, which has resulted in their classification as “empirically validated treatments.” Additionally, social skills training with generalization components, intensive summer treatment programs, and educational interventions appear promising in the treatment of ADHD. Given the chronic impairment children with ADHD experience across multiple domains of functioning, multimodal treatments are typically necessary to normalize the behavior of these children. The state of the ADHD treatment literature is reviewed, important gaps are identified (e.g., treatment for adolescents), and directions for future research are outlined within a developmental psychopathology framework.

These solutions have no closed timelike curve outside the black hole horizons. At the infinity, the space-time is effectively four-dimensional. Each horizon admits various lens space topologies L(n;1)=S^3/Z_n in addition to a round S^3. The space-time can have outer ergoregions disjointed from the black hole horizons, as well as inner ergoregions attached to each horizon. We discuss the rich structures of ergoregions.

Light-induced quantum anomalous Hall effect on the 2D surfaces of 3D topological insulators

description: Quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect generates quantized electric charge Hall conductance without external magnetic field. It requires both nontrivial band topology and time-reversal symmetry (TRS) breaking. In most cases, one could break the TRS of time-reversal invariant topological materials to yield QAH effect, which is essentially a topological phase transition. Conventional topological phase transition induced by external field/stimulus needs a route along which the bandgap closes and re-opens. Hence, the phase transition occurs only when the magnitude of field/stimulus is larger than a critical value. In this work we propose that using gapless surface states, the transition can happen at arbitrarily weak (but finite) external field strength. This can be regarded as an unconventional topological phase transition, where the bandgap closing is guaranteed by bulk-edge correspondence and symmetries, while the bandgap reopening is induced by external fields. We demonstrate this concept on the 2D surface states of 3D topological insulators like $\rm Bi_2Se_3$, which become 2D QAH insulators once a circularly polarized light is turned on, according to van Vleck's effective Hamiltonian in Floquet time crystal theory. The sign of quantized Chern number can be controlled via the chirality of the light. This provides a convenient and dynamical approach to trigger topological phase transitions and create QAH insulators.

description: Scholars have extensively examined the executive branch’s success in the federal judiciary, principally through the Solicitor General’s influence on the U.S. Supreme Court. Yet, scholars have focused little attention on the factors that affect the president’s ability to successfully defend legal challenges to executive orders . This question is especially important given the president’s increasing reliance on executive orders to enact policy. I argue that presidential success defending executive orders is not only influenced by the legal merits, but also by the political context, including judge partisanship and presidential approval. I construct an original dataset of all litigation in federal courts involving executive orders enacted since 1945. I present several key findings. First, I show that the president’s ability to successfully defend their executive orders varies considerably. And, while few executive orders are ruled wholly unconstitutional, courts routinely limit their scope and executability. I also find a statistically significant relationship between copartisan judges (i.e., those appointed by presidents of the same party as the executive order author) and rulings in favor of the executive. Additionally, I find a statistically significant relationship between judges’ ruling on executive orders and whether the case was adjudicated during versus after the issuing president’s tenure. These results lend empirical evidence to the claim that judges, like other political figures, are motivated by partisan and ideological considerations. This research underscores the importance of understanding the partisan factors that affect judicial decision-making on executive orders as they become an increasingly common tool for presidential policymaking.

description: Es gehört inzwischen zu den Grundprämissen kulturwissenschaftlicher Raumtheorien, dass Raum als Konsequenz von und in Wechselwirkung mit sozialen Praktiken entsteht. Diese "Produktion des Raumes" die erstmals einflussreich von Henri Lefebvre formuliert wurde, muss in Zusammenhang mit gesellschaftlichen Herrschaftsverhältnissen gesehen werden, wie unter anderen Pierre Bourdieu und Michel Foucault betont haben. Soziopolitische Machtstrukturen, seien sie patriarchaler oder kolonialistischer Art, schreiben sich in hegemonialer Form in den Raum ein und führen zur auch räumlich manifestierten Marginalisierung bestimmter Bevölkerungsgruppen. Diese beruht zumeist auf einer binären Zweiteilung in unter anderen schwarz-weiß, arm-reich, männlich-weiblich, heterosexuell-queer. Zugleich ist auch das Denken über Räumlichkeit, sowohl was materielle Räume als auch metaphorische Raumkonzepte betrifft, von der klassischen Binarität abendländischer Philosophie geprägt, was zu einer Vielzahl zweigeteilter Modelle geführt hat.

description: Objectively quantifying the value of player actions in football (soccer) is a challenging problem. To date, studies in football analytics have mainly focused on the attacking side of the game, while there has been less work on event-driven metrics for valuing defensive actions (e.g., tackles and interceptions). Therefore in this paper, we use deep learning techniques to define a novel metric that values such defensive actions by studying the threat of passages of play that preceded them. By doing so, we are able to value defensive actions based on what they prevented from happening in the game. Our Defensive Action Expected Threat (DAxT) model has been validated using real-world event-data from the 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 English Premier League seasons, and we combine our model outputs with additional features to derive an overall rating of defensive ability for players. Overall, we find that our model is able to predict the impact of defensive actions allowing us to better value defenders using event-data.

description: I firstly propose new terminology for these "Forced Indigenous Labor Schools"; whereas they are called FIBS by the Federal Investigative Report, I suggest "FILS" as "Forced Indigenous Labor Schools." I argue that these methods of cultural dispersion (and the "civilizing mission" as a whole) are rooted in values of whiteness, which include English literacy, Christianity, nationalism, racism, and "individualization" (or hard work). I also categorize numerous "memory relationships," which are the ways that the United States government, Indigenous tribes, FILS students, and their families think of one another, and indicate changes and continuities about these perceptions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I use newspapers from the Carlisle Industrial Training School and the Genoa Indian School to determine this information. I ultimately argue for further reconciliation efforts between the United States government and the Indigenous tribes and their affected family members.

description: Debuting in 1969, the producers, psychologists, and educators of Sesame Street created an empathetic, educational, and engaging world to develop literacy, mathematics, and socioemotional skills in preschool-aged children. Although Sesame Street has been analyzed extensively for its learning outcomes and legacy in popular memory, historians have neglected to look at the discourse surrounding the program. Preserved in the University of Maryland’s Special Collections Archives, tens of thousands of children and adults wrote letters to Sesame Street and explored a variety of topics, from asking Big Bird to come to a birthday party and praising the cast’s racial diversity to communicating dissatisfaction with the promotion of lackluster nutritional values or expressing outrage over a lack of female representation. Focusing in on letters from the first decade of production (1969-1979) and letters from women who self-identified as mothers, who were uniquely responsible for their child’s care and education, two topics emerged as the most pressing: nutrition/breastfeeding and gender representation. The combination of asserting an identity and voicing an opinion in the same letter serves as meaningful examples for how Americans engage in civil discourse to change the world around them. Viewed through this lens, Sesame Street was more than a show with joyful characters, catchy music, and a vampire teaching numbers: it was a two-way mirror into the consciousness of American culture.

I also wrote a contextual analysis of the speech, discussing Harper’s biography, educational background, the occasion of the speech, and its impact. After the course concluded, I collaborated with Dr. Shawn Parry-Giles, as part of an independent study (COMM489), to further revise my contextualization paper and prepare for publication on the Recovering Democracy Archives website. I conducted additional archival research about Frances Harper, U.S. social movements from1830 to 1890, and the development and evolution of moral suasion as a method of liberation.

description: By using joint modulation and customized constellation set, we show that Quasi-Orthogonal Space-Time Block Code (QO-STBC) can be used to form a new differential space-time modulation (DSTM) scheme to provide full transmit diversity with non-coherent detection. Our new scheme can provide higher code rate than existing DSTM schemes based on Orthogonal STBC. It also has a lower decoding complexity than the other DSTM schemes, such as those based on Group Codes, because it only requires a joint detection of two complex symbols. We derive the design criteria for the customized constellation set and use them to construct a constellation set that provides a wide range of spectral efficiency with full diversity and maximum coding gain.

The resistant embrace of formalism in the work of Émile Benveniste and Aurélien Sauvageot

description: Rarely claimed by linguists as labels for their own work, ``structuralist'' and ``structuralism'' have been more often hurled at others as criticisms. Yet those doing the hurling were themselves often pursuing a similarly formalist analysis, and were not averse to claiming their share of the academic capital that structuralism brought to linguistics. Work by Émile Benveniste (1902--1976) and Aurélien Sauvageot (1897--1988) shows different modes of a ``resistant embrace'' to structuralist formalism, with their resistance centred on a perceived abandonment of attention to phonological and philological detail; and to the role of speakers, a concern that culminates with Benveniste's concept of enunciation. Their reactions are examined here within the framework of two different ways in which structuralism was conceived, one based on holism, the other on universalism.
title: Lesbian Newsletters, Pulps, and Manuals: A Primary Source Analysis

description: Lesbian Newsletters, Pulps, and Manuals: A Primary Source Analysis is a research paper about lesbian publications in the mid 1900s. The paper examines two lesbian newsletters: The Ladder and Vice Versa, which were published in the 1940s and 50s; and two lesbian pulp novels: We Walk Alone by Ann Aldrich and The Price of Salt by Claire Morgan, which were both originally published in the 1950s. By examining all of these texts, the paper declares that lesbian authors created an image of humor, bravery, and care for the local community through the work they published. The newsletters were widely distributed thanks to discreet mailing options, and the lesbian pulp novels were sold in nearly every drug store and shop where someone could walk up to the counter and bravely purchase a novel with a naked woman on the front. Due to the popularity of these texts, the image of themselves that the lesbian authors wished to present did succeed in influencing many people that lesbians are worthy of love and protection, and are strong activists and allies for issues that affect queer identities. This research paper set out to change the way lesbian history was viewed by UMD peers, for the better.

description: Massive black holes are key components of the assembly and evolution of cosmic structures and a number of surveys are currently on-going or planned to probe the demographics of these objects and to gain insight into the relevant physical processes. Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) currently provide the only means to observe gravitational radiation from massive black hole binary systems with masses >10^7 solar masses. The whole cosmic population produces a stochastic background that could be detectable with upcoming Pulsar Timing Arrays. Sources sufficiently close and/or massive generate gravitational radiation that significantly exceeds the level of the background and could be individually resolved. We consider a wide range of massive black hole binary assembly scenarios, we investigate the distribution of the main physical parameters of the sources, such as masses and redshift, and explore the consequences for Pulsar Timing Arrays observations. Depending on the specific massive black hole population model, we estimate that on average at least one resolvable source produces timing residuals in the range ~5-50 ns. Pulsar Timing Arrays, and in particular the future Square Kilometre Array (SKA), can plausibly detect these unique systems, although the events are likely to be rare. These observations would naturally complement on the high-mass end of the massive black hole distribution function future surveys carried out by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA)
description: 12 pages, 10 figures, accepted for publication in MNRAS. Results revised (differences within a factor of two) after a bug in the code for generating the timing residuals has been fixed

Remarks. Externally the male examined specimens differs from the holotype illustration present in Ramos-Pastrana et al. (2024, fig. 3) by presenting darker colors and much longer setae mainly in thorax and abdomen, however the genital structures are exactly identical; for the case of the females analyzed, both the external characters and the genitalia are exactly identical to those illustrated in Ramos-Pastrana et al. (2024, figs 15–20).

description: We report the systematic analysis of knots, hotspots, and lobes in 57 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to investigate the variation of the magnetic field along with the jet from the sub-pc base to the terminus in kpc-to-Mpc scales. Expanding the number of radio/X-ray samples in Kataoka & Stawarz (2005), we analyzed the data in 12 FR I and 30 FR II radio galaxies, 12 quasars, and 3 BL Lacs that contained 76 knots, 42 hotspots, and 29 radio lobes. We first derived the equipartition magnetic fields in the cores and then estimated those in various jet components by assuming $B_{\rm est}$ $\propto$ $d^{-1}$, where $d$ is the distance from the jet base. On the other hand, the magnetic field in large-scale jets (knots, hotspots, and lobes), $B_{\rm eq}$, can be estimated from the observed flux and spatial extent under the equipartition hypothesis. We show that the magnetic field decreases as the distance along the jet increases, but generally gentler than $\propto d^{-1}$. The increase in $B_{\rm eq}/B_{\rm est}$ at a larger $d$ may suggest the deceleration of the jet around the downstream, but there is no difference between FR I and FR II jets. Moreover, the magnetic fields in the hotspots are systematically larger than those of knots and lobes. Finally, we applied the same analysis to knots and lobes in Centaurus A to check whether the above discussion will hold even in a single jet source.

Sozialer und semiotischer Raum

description: In den Gesellschafts- wie in den Kulturwissenschaften hat der Begriff des "Raums" in den letzten Jahren sehr viel Aufmerksamkeit erfahren. Zahlreiche Einzelstudien, Sammelbände und Handbücher loten den Bedeutungsumfang dieses Begriffs, aber auch die Schwierigkeiten aus, die sich einerseits aus der Vielfalt vorhandener Raumkonzepte und andererseits aus der Fülle ihrer keineswegs deckungsgleichen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten ergeben. Hinzu kommt die Schwierigkeit, den Begriff des Raums von verwandten Ausdrücken wie Platz und Ort, Umgebung und Territorium oder gar Welt abzugrenzen - ganz zu schweigen von den Verschiebungen, die zwischen verschiedenen Sprachen hinsichtlich der Auffassung von "Raum", "espace", "space" usw. bestehen. Vor diesem Hintergrund erscheint es nicht nur zweckmäßig, sondern notwendig, im Rahmen einer transversalen Betrachtung nach strukturellen Ähnlichkeiten zwischen den Raumkonzepten unterschiedlicher Disziplinen Ausschau zu halten. Einen Versuch in dieser Richtung stellen die folgenden Überlegungen zu Querbezügen und Übergängen zwischen Raumsoziologie und Raumsemiotik dar.
