description: The quality of electricity system modelling heavily depends on the input data used. Although a lot of data is publicly available, it is often dispersed, tedious to process and partly contains errors. We argue that a central provision of input data for modelling has the character of a public good: it reduces overall societal costs for quantitative energy research as redundant work is avoided, and it improves transparency and reproducibility in electricity system modelling. This paper describes the Open Power System Data platform that aims at realising the efficiency and quality gains of centralised data provision by collecting, checking, processing, aggregating, documenting and publishing data required by most modellers. We conclude that the platform can provide substantial benefits to energy system analysis by raising efficiency of data pre-processing, providing a method for making data pre-processing for energy system modelling traceable, flexible and reproducible and improving the quality of original data published by data providers.

description: Time series forecasting gets much attention due to its impact on many practical applications. Higher-order neural network with recurrent feedback is a powerful technique which used successfully for forecasting. It maintains fast learning and the ability to learn the dynamics of the series over time. For that, in this paper, we propose a novel model which is called Ridge Polynomial Neural Network with Error-Output Feedbacks (RPNN-EOFs) that combines the properties of higher order and error-output feedbacks. The well-known Mackey-Glass time series is used to test the forecasting capability of RPNN-EOFS. Simulation results showed that the proposed RPNN-EOFs provides better understanding for the Mackey-Glass time series with root mean square error equal to 0.00416. This result is smaller than other models in the literature. Therefore, we can conclude that the RPNN-EOFs can be applied successfully for time series forecasting.

description: Influenza A viruses are a major cause of viral respiratory infections in humans, leading to a spectrum of diseases ranging from mild to severe, particularly in high-risk groups. Monitoring the frequency and evolution of A (H1N1)pdm09 viruses is essential for guiding vaccine strain selection and maintaining vaccine effectiveness. To characterize the evolution of circulating influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 strains in Mar del Plata(MDQ), Argentina, and estimate vaccine efficacy from 2015 to 2020, before the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We analyzed 46 influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 strains detected by RT-PCR from patients with acute respiratory infections in MDQ between 2015 and 2020. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using maximum likelihood, and vaccine efficacy was estimated with the Pepitope model. Seven genetic clades were identified: 6B in 2015, 6B.1 in 2016–2017, 6B.1A, 6B.1A.1, and 6B.1A.3 in 2018, 6B.1A.5A in 2019–2020, and 6B.1A.5a.2 in 2020. Genetic diversity and regional clustering suggested multiple strain introductions from other Argentinian regions or countries. The predicted vaccine efficacy was highest when the frequency of influenza A (H1N1)pmd09 was below 2%, decreasing as viral frequency increased, due to mutations occurring particularly in haemagglutinin epitopes B, C, and E. Our findings highlight the dynamic evolution of influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 in MDQ and emphasize the importance of continuous molecular surveillance and regular vaccine updates. Additionally, the Pepitope model proved useful in estimating vaccine efficacy. The impact of vaccination in reducing viral frequency when circulating and vaccine strains are well-matched further supports annual influenza vaccination recommendations to minimize viral burden in the community.

description: The electronic properties of carbon nanotubes are investigated in the presence of disorder and a magnetic field parallel or perpendicular to the nanotube axis. In the parallel field geometry, the $ϕ_{0}(=hc/e)$-periodic metal-insulator transition (MIT) induced in metallic or semiconducting nanotubes is shown to be related to a chirality-dependent shifting of the energy of the van Hove singularities (VHSs). The effect of disorder on this magnetic field-related mechanism is considered with a discussion of mean free paths, localization lengths and magnetic dephasing rate in the context of recent experiments.

description: We present a self-consistent mean field model of the extraction of atoms from a Bose-Einstein condensate to form a CW atom laser. The model is based upon the Hartree-Fock Bogoliubov equations within the Popov approximation, modified by the inclusion of spatially dependent source and sink terms, which lead to current flow within the condensate. The effects of this current flow are investigated for traps containing Rubidium (repulsive effective interaction) and Lithium (attractive interaction) atoms. The extra kinetic energy associated with this flow is shown to be able to stabilise the condensate in the attractive case against mechanical instability.

description: We construct an effective hadronic model including single heavy baryons (SHBs) belonging to the $(\mathbf{3},\mathbf{3})$ representation under $\mbox{SU}(3)_L \times \mbox{SU}(3)_R$ symmetry, respecting the chiral symmetry and heavy-qaurk spin-flavor symmetry. When the chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken, the SHBs are divided into the baryons with negative parity of $\bar{\mathbf 3}$ representation under $\mbox{SU}(3)$ flavor symmetry which is the chiral partners to the ones with positive parity of ${\mathbf 6}$ representation. We determine the model parameters from the available experimental data for the masses and strong decay widths of $Σ_c^{(\ast)}$, $Λ_c (2595)$, $Ξ_c (2790)$, and $Ξ_c (2815)$. Then, we predict the masses and strong decay widths of other baryons including $Ξ_b$ with negative parity. We also study radiative decays of SHBs including $Ω_c^\ast$ and $Ω_b^\ast$ with positive parity.

description: We present spectroscopic observations of the rest-frame UV line emission around radio galaxy MRC 2104-242 at z=2.49, obtained with FORS1 on VLT Antu. The morphology of the halo is dominated by two spatially resolved regions. Lya is extended by >12 arcsec along the radio axis, CIV and HeII are extended by ~8 arcsec. The overall spectrum is typical for that of high redshift radio galaxies. The most striking spatial variation is that NV is present in the spectrum of the region associated with the center of the galaxy hosting the radio source, the northern region, while absent in the southern region. Assuming that the gas is photoionized by a hidden quasar, the difference in NV emission can be explained by a metallicity gradient within the halo. This is consistent with a scenario in which the gas is associated with a massive cooling flow or originates from the debris of the merging of two or more galaxies.

Magnetic orbital motion and 0.5$e^2/h$ conductance of quantum-anomalous-Hall hybrid strips

description: The magnetic-induced orbital motion of quasiparticles affects the conductance properties of a hybrid strip of a quantum-anomalous-Hall topological material with induced superconductivity. We elucidate the scenario of topological NSN ideal junctions in presence of orbital magnetic motion, showing how it leads to a halved quantized conductance $0.5e^2/h$ even in absence of Majorana modes. The magnetic orbital effect favours Fermionic charged modes with finite wave numbers, in contradistinction to Majorana zero modes which are chargeless zero-energy modes with vanishing wave number. The bias sensitivity of the 0.5 conductance plateau allows to distinguish the two cases. Conductance oscillations due to backscattering interference are absent in the charged Fermion case.

description: We present first-principles calculations of electron-electron scattering rates of low-energy electrons in Au. Our full band-structure calculations indicate that a major contribution from occupied d states participating in the screening of electron-electron interactions yields lifetimes of electrons in Au with energies of $1.0-3.0 {\rm eV}$ above the Fermi level that are larger than those of electrons in a free-electron gas by a factor of $\sim 4.5$. This prediction is in agreement with a recent experimental study of ultrafast electron dynamics in Au(111) films (J. Cao {\it et al}, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 58}, 10948 (1998)), where electron transport has been shown to play a minor role in the measured lifetimes of hot electrons in this material.

description: This paper presents a spectral attention-driven reinforcement learning based intelligent method for effective and efficient detection of important signals in a wideband spectrum. In the work presented in this paper, it is assumed that the modulation technique used is available as a priori knowledge of the targeted important signal. The proposed spectral attention-driven intelligent method is consists of two main components, a spectral correlation function (SCF) based spectral visualization scheme and a spectral attention-driven reinforcement learning mechanism that adaptively selects the spectrum range and implements the intelligent signal detection. Simulations illustrate that the proposed method can achieve high accuracy of signal detection while observation of spectrum is limited to few ranges via effectively selecting the spectrum ranges to be observed. Furthermore, the proposed spectral attention-driven machine learning method can lead to an efficient adaptive intelligent spectrum sensor designs in cognitive radio (CR) receivers.

description: Thanks to the simplicity and robustness of its calculation methods, algorithmic (or Kolmogorov) complexity appears as a useful tool to reveal chaotic dynamics when experimental time series are too short and noisy to apply Takens' reconstruction theorem. We measure the complexity in chaotic regimes, with and without extreme events (sometimes called optical rogue waves), of three different all-solid-state lasers: Kerr lens mode locking femtosecond Ti: Sapphire ("fast" saturable absorber), Nd:YVO4 + Cr:YAG ("slow" saturable absorber) and Nd:YVO4 with modulated losses. We discuss how complexity characterizes the dynamics in an understandable way in all cases, and how it provides a correction factor to the horizon of predictability given by Lyapunov exponents. This approach may be especially convenient to implement schemes of chaos control in real time.

We obtain an exact solution for the density which reveals a universal phase diagram for the asymptotic density decay. By universal we mean that all models in the class are described by a single phase diagram spanned by two reduced parameters. The phase diagram reveals four regimes, two of which contain the previously studied cases of ballistic annihilation. The two new phases are a direct consequence of the stochasticity. The solution is obtained through a matrix product approach and builds on properties of a q-deformed harmonic oscillator algebra.

We model an aplanatic microscope imaging an ensemble of in-focus fluorescent dipoles as a linear Hilbert-space operator, and we show that the operator takes a particularly convenient form when expressed in a basis of complex exponentials and spherical harmonics$-$a form we call the dipole spatio-angular transfer function. We discuss the implications of our analysis for all quantitative fluorescence microscopy studies and lay out a path towards a complete theory.

description: We present new observations of the central regions of the starburst galaxy M82 consisting of near-infrared H- and K-band integral field spectroscopy from the MPE 3D instrument, and 2.4-45 micron spectroscopy from the Short Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS) on board ISO. These measurements are used, together with data from the literature, to re-examine the issue of extinction, determine the physical conditions of the interstellar medium, and characterize the composition of the stellar populations. We find that purely foreground extinction cannot reproduce the global relative intensities of H recombination lines from optical to radio wavelengths. A good fit is provided by a homogeneous mixture of dust and sources, and with a visual extinction of 52 mag. The SWS data provide evidence for deviations from commonly assumed extinction laws between 3 and 10 micron. The fine-structure lines of Ne, Ar, and S detected with SWS imply an electron density of about 300 cm^{-3}, and abundance ratios Ne/H and Ar/H nearly solar and S/H one-fourth solar. The excitation of the ionized gas indicates an average temperature for the OB stars of 37400 K, with little spatial variation. A random distribution of gas clouds and ionizing clusters and an ionization parameter of about 10^{-2.3} represent well the star-forming regions. From population synthesis and the mass-to-K-light ratio, we conclude that the near-infrared continuum emission across the starburst regions is dominated by red supergiants with average temperatures ranging from 3600 K to 4500 K, and roughly solar metallicity. Our data rule out significant contributions from older metal-rich giants in the central few tens of parsecs of M82.

description: The forensic investigation of a terrorist attack poses a huge challenge to the investigative authorities, as several thousand hours of video footage need to be spotted. To assist law enforcement agencies (LEA) in identifying suspects and securing evidences, we present a platform which fuses information of surveillance cameras and video uploads from eyewitnesses. The platform integrates analytical modules for different input-modalities on a scalable architecture. Videos are analyzed according their acoustic and visual content. Specifically, Audio Event Detection is applied to index the content according to attack-specific acoustic concepts. Audio similarity search is utilized to identify similar video sequences recorded from different perspectives. Visual object detection and tracking are used to index the content according to relevant concepts. The heterogeneous results of the analytical modules are fused into a distributed index of visual and acoustic concepts to facilitate rapid start of investigations, following traits and investigating witness reports.

description: Chemical investigations of the 75% EtOH extract from the fruits of Crataegus pinnatifida led to the isolation of three undescribed naturally occurring sesquineolignans with two 8-O-4'-type neolignan moieties, cratapinnatifidas A-C (1–3). Their chemical structures were elucidated by the comprehensive spectroscopic analyses (HRESIMS, 1D and 2D-NMR). In the bioactivity assay, their cytotoxic activities against two human hepatoma cell lines (HepG2 and Hep3B) were evaluated and no significant activity was seen with IC50 values ranging from 12.5 to 50.0 μM.

description: We study the single-particle spectral properties of a model for coexisting AFM and ICDW critical fluctuations coupled to electrons, which naturally arises in the context of the stripe-quantum-critical-point scenario for high-Tc superconducting materials. Within a perturbative approach, we show that the on-shell inverse scattering time deviates from the normal Fermi-liquid behavior near the points of the Fermi surface connected by the characteristic wave-vectors of the critical fluctuations (hot spots). The anomalous behavior is stronger when the hot spots are located near singular points of the electronic spectrum. The violations to the normal Fermi-liquid behavior are associated with the transfer of spectral weight from the quasi-particle peak to incoherent shadow peaks, which produces an enhancement of incoherent spectral weight near the Fermi level. We use our results to discuss recent ARPES experiments on Bi2212 near optimal doping.

An identity of Fink type for this extension is provided. Error estimates for the considered formulas are also given. Two-point Ostrowski-Gruss type inequalities are pointed out. An expansion of Guessab--Schmeisser two points formula for $n$-times differentiable functions via Fink type identity is established. Generalization of the main result for harmonic sequence of polynomials is established. Several bounds of the presented results are proved.

Hodge cycles for cubic hypersurfaces

description: We study an algebraic cycle of the form $Z_0= r {\mathbb P}^{\frac{n}{2}}+\check r \check{\mathbb P}^{\frac{n}{2}}$, $r \in{\mathbb N},\check r \in{\mathbb Z},\ \ 1\leq r , |\check r |\leq 10,\ \ \gcd ( r ,\check r )=1$, inside the cubic Fermat variety $X_0$ of even dimension $n\geq 4$ and with $\dim\left ({\mathbb P}^{\frac{n}{2}}\cap \check{\mathbb P}^{\frac{n}{2}}\right)=m$. We take a smooth deformation space $\sf S$ of $X_0$ such that the triple $(X_0, {\mathbb P}^\frac{n}{2}, \check{\mathbb P}^\frac{n}{2})$ becomes rigid. For $m=\frac{n}{2}-2$ and for many examples of $N\in{\mathbb N}$ and $n$ we show that the $N$-th order Hodge locus attached to $Z_0$ is smooth and reduced of positive dimension if and only if $( r ,\check r )=(1,-1)$. In this case, the underlying algebraic cycles are conjectured to be cubic ruled cycles. For $m=\frac{n}{2}-3$ the same happens for all choices of coefficients $ r $ and $\check r $ and we do not know what kind of algebraic cycles might produce such Hodge cycles. The first case gives us a conjectural description of a component of the Hodge locus, and the second case gives us strong computer assisted evidences for the existence of new Hodge cycles for cubic hypersurfaces. Whereas the well-known construction of Hodge cycles due to D. Mumford and A. Weil for CM abelian varieties, and Y. André's motivated cycles can be described in theoretical terms, the full proof of the existence of our Hodge cycle seems to be only possible with more powerful computing machines.

description: The properties of the archetypal Co/Cu giant magnetoresistance (GMR) spin-valve structure have been modified by the insertion of very thin (sub-monolayer) $δ$-layers of various elements at different points within the Co layers, and at the Co/Cu interface. Different effects are observed depending on the nature of the impurity, its position within the periodic table, and its location within the spin-valve. The GMR can be strongly enhanced or suppressed for various specific combinations of these parameters, giving insight into the microscopic mechanisms giving rise to the GMR.

Jazz at the Jersey Shore: past, present and future
Creators: name: Schwarz, Karen Lee
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: This thesis makes a three-part statement as follows:Part One: The Past. There was a vibrant presence of jazz at the Jersey Shore, specif-ically Monmouth County, from the late 1930s until 1970, when racial injustice spurred riots that all but obliterated the local music scene. The local jazz scene was greatly impacted by musicians who spent a part of their childhoods at the Jersey Shore and went on to achieve national and global recognition for their contributions to the canon. Part Two: The Present. The scene began to resurface in the area from the 1980s to the present (2021) although in primarily differently venues and with different players than before. The venues that presented jazz and the musicians who performed there were, and continue to be, in constant flux. Part Three: The future of jazz at the Jersey Shore is dependent on the existence of quality educational programs and organizations to teach students about the history and performance of jazz. These organizations exist in the Monmouth County region of the Jersey Shore and play a vital role in ensuring that there is a jazz community for both musicians and jazz aficionados to participate in.This thesis aims to explore the history of jazz at the Jersey Shore (Monmouth County), dating as back as far as the 1930s up to the current date. It will identify and explore some of the musicians that were born there and later attained world-wide recognition. It will also identify and examine some of the well-known musicians that performed in the region as well as some of the venues that hosted these perfor-mances. In addition, it will chronicle some of the musicians and venues related to jazz after the scene began to resurface and rebuild in the post-riot era (late ‘70s to the present day). Finally, it will explore some of the educational organizations that provide opportunities related to jazz that are available to the youth in the Jersey Shore/Monmouth County region.

description: In the philosophy of science considerable attention has been paid to the question of how to be sure that a given experimental result can be taken as supporting evidence for a theory. How do we escape from this dilemma in our linguistic research? How can we know that a certain set of results is evidence on behalf of a theory and not due to the auxiliary assumptions required for the test? We have tried to do acquisition studies on aspects of reasonably refined linguistic theories, so that there are other kinds of evidence already articulated in their defense. In our experiments, the auxiliary assumptions are held constant across two conditions that elicit different responses, so the minimal difference between the two conditions must be held responsible for the responses. If the auxiliary assumptions are appealed to as explanation for one phenomenon, they can be shown to make precisely the wrong predictions for a second phenomenon within the same experiment.

description: Effective low-energy Hamiltonian of interacting electrons in conducting single-wall carbon nanotubes with arbitrary chirality is derived from the microscopic lattice model. The parameters of the Hamiltonian show very weak dependence on the chiral angle, which makes the low energy properties of conducting chiral nanotubes universal. The strongest Mott-like electron instability at half filling is investigated within the self-consistent harmonic approximation. The energy gaps occur in all modes of elementary excitations and estimate at $0.01-0.1$ eV.
