"Optimal" reservoir operating policies with explicit consideration of economic and environmental requirements

description: Reservoir operation has traditionally been dominated by the need to 'optimise' the 'economic' returns achievable from the reservoir. With the growing emphasis on environmental considerations, especially in water resource development, reservoir operating policies that enable the best economic performance to be obtained while meeting specified environmental requirements are now being developed. Various methods which recommend general guidelines for the specification of these environmental flow conditions were examined. Detailed biological studies in the region of a specific reservoir, which give the best indication of the river's requirements, and therefore provide the best parameters to incorporate into optimisation models for reservoir operation, are very costly. Even when such studies have been completed, it is still often difficult to specify what levels or type of flows are environmentally acceptable. Recent research in Australia has suggested that in the absence of detailed ecological studies, environmental flow targets should be specified in terms of certain percentiles of historical flow. A stochastic dynamic programming approach to optimising the 'economic' operation of a reservoir while maintaining some of the statistical characteristics (variation) of the natural flow regimes in the system has been developed. The approach is run on a scenario basis in which the environmental release strategies are specified as targets for environmental flows expressed predominantly in terms of percentiles of historical flows. The probability distribution of total releases (for economic and environmental purposes) from the reservoir, as determined from the steady state operating policy, is used to derive the probability distribution of the flows available for environmental purposes. This probability distribution, or more correctly this variation, of flows can then be compared to the variation associated with the natural regime. In this manner, the trade-off between economic and environmental demands on a reservoir can be assessed on the basis of both total flow released and how closely the pattern of releases of that total flow matches the natural regime. This model is demonstrated on the Fairbaim Dam system in Central Queensland.

description: We prove a global approximation theorem for a general parabolic operator $L$, which asserts that if $v$ satisfies the equation $Lv=0$ in a spacetime region $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ satisfying certain necessary topological condition, then it can be approximated in a Hölder norm by a global solution $u$ to the equation. If $Ω$ is compact and $L$ is the usual heat operator, one can instead approximate the local solution $v$ by the unique solution that falls off at infinity to the Cauchy problem with a suitably chosen smooth, compactly supported initial datum. These results are next applied to prove the existence of global solutions to the equation $Lu=0$ with a local hot spot that moves along a prescribed curve for all time, up to a uniformly small error. Global solutions that exhibit isothermic hypersurfaces of prescribed topologies for all times and applications to the heat equation on the flat torus are discussed too.

description: The photo-electrical response of donor-acceptor complex formed by carbonyl viologen 1,1'-bis[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxoethyl]-4,4'-bipyridine-1,1'-diium bromide (as electron acceptor), and 1-Aminonaphthalene (electron donor), is studied in acetonitrile solutions under illumination close to solar irradiation conditions. The effect of the donor-to-acceptor molar ratio on the photo-electrical properties of the molecular complex is established. The molecular system containing carbonyl viologen acceptor exhibits an efficient photo-electrical response that may be of interest for solar energy conversion.

description: Inspired by the Contino-Pomarol-Rattazzi mechanism we explore scenarios with a very light (100 keV to 10 GeV) radion which could be associated with the suppression of the electroweak contribution to vacuum energy. We construct explicit, realistic models that realize this mechanism and explore the phenomenological constraints on this class of models. Compared with axion-like particles in this mass range, the bounds from SN 1987a and from cosmology can be much weaker, depending on the the mass of the radion and its coupling to other particles. With couplings suppressed by a scale lower than 100 TeV much of the mass window from 100 keV to 10 GeV is still open.

description: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are capable of effectively repressing immune responses against tumors and orchestrating the tumor microenvironment, which can promote tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. The pathway networks used to modulate tumor-expanded MDSC accumulation and function remain unclear. This study identified microRNA-211 (miR-211), whose expression was significantly decreased by factors derived from tumors. miR-211 was assumed to be critical in modulating the accumulation and activity of MDSCs isolated from ovarian cancer (OC)-bearing mice by targeting C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP). The upregulation of miR-211 repressed MDSC proliferation, inhibited MDSC immunosuppressive functions, and increased the number of co-incubated CD4+ and CD8+ cells. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-211 led to decreased activities of the NF-κB, PI3K/Akt, and STAT3 pathways and the subsequent downregulation of matrix metalloproteinases to promote tumor cell invasion and metastasis. CHOP overexpression counteracted the effects of miR-211 elevation on these phenotypic changes. Upregulation of miR-211 also dramatically impaired the activity of MDSCs and suppressed OC tumor growth in vivo. These results indicated that the miR-211-CHOP axis in MDSCs plays an essential role in the metastasis and proliferation of tumor-expanded MDSCs and might represent a promising cancer treatment target.

description: A Red List of all 108 Pezizomycotina (Ascomycota) species recorded in Umbria Region (central Italy) is provided. According to the IUCN categories and criteria, 60.18% of the assessed species are classified as threatened, whereas 12.96% are Near Threatened (NT), 1.86% are Least Concerned (LC) and a noteworthy amount of 25% are Data Deficient (DD). As a consequence of the downlisting applied to the majority of the assessed taxa, according to the guidelines for application of IUCN red list criteria at Regional level, only 1.54% of the threatened species is Critically Endangered (CR), while 46.15% are Endangered (EN) and 52.31% are Vulnerable (VU). Given that the present work represents the first complete regional red list of Pezizomycotina in Italy, and that a national, as well as a European red list do not exist to date, it could be considered as a case study for other Italian Regions as well as for other European countries, aiming at the compilation of a national and European red list of this fungal group mostly overlooked in conservation strategies.

description: Under conditions of market equilibrium, the distribution of capital income follows a Pareto power law, with an exponent that characterizes the given equilibrium. Here, a simple taxation scheme is proposed such that the post-tax capital income distribution remains an equilibrium distribution, albeit with a different exponent. This taxation scheme is shown to be progressive, and its parameters can be simply derived from (i) the total amount of tax that will be levied, (ii) the threshold selected above which capital income will be taxed and (iii) the total amount of capital income. The latter can be obtained either by using Piketty's estimates of the capital/labor income ratio or by fitting the initial Pareto exponent. Both ways moreover provide a check on the amount of declared income from capital.

The low-energy Ward-Takahashi identity is provided in the system with the linear and quadratic symmetry breaking terms. This identity serves to organize the HP theorem for multicomponent BECs, such as the binary BEC as well as the spin-$f$ spinor BEC in the presence of a magnetic field with broken U$(1)$$\times$SO$(3)$ symmetry. The experimental method based on the Stern-Gerlach experiment is proposed for studying the Ward-Takahashi identity.

description: We examine the design of the entrainment process for an uncountably infinite collection of coupled phase oscillators that are all subject to the same periodic driving signal. In the absence of coupling, an appropriately designed input can result in each oscillator attaining the frequency of the driving signal, with a phase offset determined by its natural frequency. We consider a special case of interacting oscillators in which the coupling tends to destabilize the phase configuration to which the driving signal would send the collection in the absence of coupling. In this setting we derive stability results that characterize the trade-off between the effects of driving and coupling, and compare these results to the well-known Kuramoto model of a collection of free-running coupled oscillators.
Warm Dark Matter and Cosmic Reionization

description: In models with dark matter made of particles with keV masses, such as a sterile neutrino, small-scale density perturbations are suppressed, delaying the period at which the lowest mass galaxies are formed and therefore shifting the reionization processes to later epochs. In this study, focusing on Warm Dark Matter (WDM) with masses close to its present lower bound, i.e. around the $3$ keV region, we derive constraints from galaxy luminosy functions, the ionization history and the Gunn-Peterson effect. We show that even if star formation efficiency in the simulations is adjusted to match the observed UV galaxy luminosity functions in both CDM and WDM models, the full distribution of Gunn-Peterson optical depth retains the strong signature of delayed reionization in the WDM model. However, until the star formation and stellar feedback model used in modern galaxy formation simulations is constrained better, any conclusions on the nature of dark matter derived from reionization observables remain model-dependent.

NOMAD [nomad-lab.eu][1, 2] is an open-source data infrastructure for materials science data. NOMAD already supports an array of computational codes and techniques, with over 60 parsers that automatically extract essential (meta)data from the raw output of standard calculations. Traditionally, the NOMAD repository has focused on contributions from DFT calculations, accumulating over 12.5 million such entries. More recently, this framework has been expanded considerably, now supporting classical molecular dynamics simulations, as well as complex simulation workflows. In this context, a variety of new features have been implemented into NOMAD, including a schema for defining molecular topologies and system hierarchies. In this talk, I will introduce NOMAD in the context of soft matter simulations, demonstrating some basic functionalities and its potential for improving the data management standards within the classical simulation community through its adherence to the FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, Reusability).

description: We prove the mixing conjecture of Michel and Venkatesh for toral packets with negative fundamental discriminants and split at two fixed primes; assuming all splitting fields have no exceptional Landau-Siegel zero. As a consequence we establish for arbitrary products of indefinite Shimura curves the equidistribution of Galois orbits of generic sequences of CM points all whose components have the same fundamental discriminant; assuming the CM fields are split at two fixed primes and have no exceptional zero. The joinings theorem of Einsiedler and Lindenstrauss applies to the toral orbits arising in these results. Yet it falls short of demonstrating equidistribution due to the possibility of intermediate algebraic measures supported on Hecke correspondences and their translates. The main novel contribution is a method to exclude intermediate measures for toral periods. The crux is a geometric expansion of the cross-correlation between the periodic measure on a torus orbit and a Hecke correspondence, expressing it as a short shifted convolution sum. The latter is bounded from above generalizing the method of Shiu and Nair to polynomials in two variables on smooth domains.

Development of a non-invasive objective test to measure the eating quality of pineapple and mango fruits

description: The ability to non-destructively assess fruit or vegetable quality would confer a decided marketing advantage to packing and processing sectors of most horticultural industries. The potential of near infra -red spectroscopy (NIRS) for non-invasive measurement of eating quality of pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merrill, cv. 'Smooth Cayenne') and mango (Magnifera indica L., var. 'Kensington') fruit was assessed. Near infra -red (NIR) reflectance spectra (760-2500 nm) from an area of approximately 16 cm2 were correlated with pineapple juice Brix and with mango flesh dry matter (DM) measured from fruit flesh directly underlying the scanned area. The highest correlations for both fruit were found using the second derivative of the spectra (d2 log 1/R, where R is the amount of light energy emerging from the sample). Calibration using multiple linear regression (MLR) in an additive regression equation has practical application in that absorbance data from only four wavelengths are required. However, modified partial least squares (MPLS) regression analysis, which uses the whole spectrum, gave a better coefficient of determination (R2). Multiple linear regression using d2 log 1/R of pineapple fruit spectra (n = 85) gave a calibration equation with a R2 of 0.75, and a standard error of calibration (SEC) of 1.21° Brix, with a mean Brix of 12.1°. Modified partial least squares regression analysis yielded a calibration equation with a R2 of 0.91 and a SEC of 0.69° Brix. For mango, MLR gave a calibration equation using d2 log 1/R with a R2 of 0.90 and a SEC of 0.85% DM, with a mean of 18.0% DM. Using MPLS analysis, a calibration equation with a R2 of 0.98, a standard error of cross validation (SECV) of 1.19 was obtained.
Pre- and post -dispersive near infra -red spectroscopy were compared for non-invasive measurement of fruit quality of intact pineapple. In the pre -dispersive technique, monochromatic light was delivered via a fibre optic bundle to a probe which contained reflectance detectors. The same fruit were then assessed by the post -dispersive technique, with the fruit illuminated from a distance of 70 mm using white light generated by a tungsten halogen lamp, and reflected light delivered via a fibre optic bundle to a diffraction grating and associated detectors. The post -dispersive technique was comparable to the pre -dispersive technique in terms of accuracy (e.g. R2 0.73, SECV 1.01° Brix).
Near infra -red technology offers the potential to assess fruit sweetness in intact whole pineapple and dry matter in mango fruit, respectively, to within 1° Brix and 1% DM, and could be used for the grading of fruit in fruit packing sheds. Application of post - dispersive NIR technology to in -line assessment of intact fruit in a packing shed environment is discussed.

In both samples the internal magnetic field persists up to 160~K, but muon diffusion prevents following the evolution of the field to higher temperatures. We consider the evidence from our measurments in support of PG order parameter candidates, namely, electronic loop currents and magnetoelectric quadrupoles.

Fourier transform from momentum space to twistor space

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: A Fourier transform from momentum space to twistor space is introduced in twistor string theory, for the first time, for the case where the twistor space is a three-dimensional real projective space, corresponding to ultra-hyperbolic spacetime. In this case, the Fourier transform is the same as in the standard analysis. However, when the twistor space is a three-dimensional complex projective space, corresponding to the complexified Minkowski space, some aspects of the Fourier transform have yet to be clarified. For example, no concrete method is known for calculating the complex integral, and nor is it known which functions it should be applied to or what results are obtained. In this paper, we define a Fourier transform for momentum-space functions in terms of a certain complex integral, assuming that the functions can be expanded as power series. We also define the inverse Fourier transform for twistor-space functions in terms of a certain complex integral. Then, we show that the momentum-space functions to which the Fourier transform can be applied and the twistor-space functions that are obtained can be represented in terms of cohomology groups. Furthermore, we show that the twistor operator representations popular in the twistor theory literature are valid for the Fourier transform and its inverse transform. We also show that the functions over which the application of the operators is closed can be represented in terms of cohomology groups.

description: We aimed to evaluate computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system for lung nodule classification focusing on (i) usefulness of gradient tree boosting (XGBoost) and (ii) effectiveness of parameter optimization using Bayesian optimization (Tree Parzen Estimator, TPE) and random search. 99 lung nodules (62 lung cancers and 37 benign lung nodules) were included from public databases of CT images. A variant of local binary pattern was used for calculating feature vectors. Support vector machine (SVM) or XGBoost was trained using the feature vectors and their labels. TPE or random search was used for parameter optimization of SVM and XGBoost. Leave-one-out cross-validation was used for optimizing and evaluating the performance of our CADx system. Performance was evaluated using area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic analysis. AUC was calculated 10 times, and its average was obtained. The best averaged AUC of SVM and XGBoost were 0.850 and 0.896, respectively; both were obtained using TPE. XGBoost was generally superior to SVM. Optimal parameters for achieving high AUC were obtained with fewer numbers of trials when using TPE, compared with random search. In conclusion, XGBoost was better than SVM for classifying lung nodules. TPE was more efficient than random search for parameter optimization.

description: Calculation of the Shannon information entropy (S) and its connection with the order-disorder transition, and with inter-particle interaction provide a challenging research area in the field of quantum information. Experimental progress with cold trapped atoms has corroborated this interest. In the present work, S is calculated for the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with dominant dipolar interaction for different dipole strengths, trap aspect ratio and number of particles (N). Trapped dipolar bosons in an anisotropic trap provide an example of system where the effective interaction is strongly determined by the trap geometry. The main conlcusion of the present calculation is that the anisotropic trap reduces the number of degrees of freedom, resulting in more ordered configurations. The Landsberg's order parameter exhibits quick saturation with the increase in scattering length in both prolate and oblate traps. We also define the threshold scattering length which makes the system completely disordered. Unlike non-dipolar BEC in a spherical trap, we do not find a universal linear relation between S and ln N, and we, therefore, introduce a general quintic polynomial fit rather well working for a wide range of particle number.

Geometry of criticality, supercriticality and Hawking-Page transitions in Gauss-Bonnet-AdS black holes

description: We obtain the Ruppeiner geometry associated with the non-extended state space ($Λ$ constant) of the charged Gauss-Bonnet AdS (GB-AdS) black holes and confirm that the state space Riemannian manifold becomes strongly curved in regions where the black hole system develops strong statistical correlations in the grand canonical ensemble ($M$ and $Q$ fluctuating). We establish the exact proportionality between the state space scalar curvature $R$ and the inverse of the singular free energy near the isolated critical point for the grand canonical ensemble in spacetime dimension $d=5$, thus hopefully moving a step closer to the agenda of a concrete physical interpretation of $R$ for black holes. On the other hand, we show that while $R$ signals the Davies transition points (which exist in GB-AdS black holes for $d \ge 6$) through its divergence, it does not scale as the inverse of the singular free energy there. Furthermore, adapting to the black hole case the ideas developed in \cite{rupp2} in the context of pure fluids, we find that the state space geometry encodes phase coexistence and first order transitions, identifies the asymptotically critical region and even suggests a Widom line like crossover regime in the supercritical region for $5-d$ case. The sign of $R$ appears to imply a significant difference between the microscopic structure of the small and the large black hole branches in $d=5$. We show that thermodynamic geometry informs the microscopic nature of coexisting thermal GB-AdS and black hole phases near the Hawking-Page phase transition.

description: Surgeons' technical skill directly impacts patient outcomes. To date, the angular motion of the instruments has been largely overlooked in objective skill evaluation. To fill this gap, we have developed metrics for surgical skill evaluation that are based on the orientation of surgical instruments. We tested our new metrics on two datasets with different conditions: (1) a dataset of experienced robotic surgeons and nonmedical users performing needle-driving on a dry lab model, and (2) a small dataset of suturing movements performed by surgeons training on a porcine model. We evaluated the performance of our new metrics (angular displacement and the rate of orientation change) alongside the performances of classical metrics (task time and path length). We calculated each metric on different segments of the movement. Our results highlighted the importance of segmentation rather than calculating the metrics on the entire movement. Our new metric, the rate of orientation change, showed statistically significant differences between experienced surgeons and nonmedical users / novice surgeons, which were consistent with the classical task time metric. The rate of orientation change captures technical aspects that are taught during surgeons' training, and together with classical metrics can lead to a more comprehensive discrimination of skills.

description: We argue that comparison with observations of theoretical models for the velocity distribution of pulsars must be done directly with the observed quantities, i.e. parallax and the two components of proper motion. We develop a formalism to do so, and apply it to pulsars with accurate VLBI measurements. We find that a distribution with two maxwellians improves significantly on a single maxwellian. The `mixed' model takes into account that pulsars move away from their place of birth, a narrow region around the galactic plane. The best model has 42% of the pulsars in a maxwellian with average velocity sigma sqrt{8/pi}=120 km/s, and 58% in a maxwellian with average velocity 540 km/s. About 5% of the pulsars has a velocity at birth less than 60\,km/s. For the youngest pulsars (tau_c<10 Myr), these numbers are 32% with 130 km/s, 68% with 520 km/s, and 3%, with appreciable uncertainties.
