description: With the growing installation of distributed energy resources (DERs) at homes, more residential households are able to reduce the overall energy cost by storing unused energy in the storage battery when there is abundant renewable energy generation, and using the stored energy when there is insufficient renewable energy generation and high demand. It could be even more economical for the household if energy can be traded and shared among neighboring households. Despite the great economic benefit of DERs, they could also make it more challenging to ensure the stability of the grid due to the decentralization of agents' activities.
This thesis presents two approaches that combine market and control mechanisms to address these challenges. In the first work, we focus on the integration of DERs into local energy markets. We introduce a peer-to-peer (P2P) local energy market and propose a consensus multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) framework, which allows agents to develop strategies for trading and decentralized voltage control within the P2P market. It is compared to both the fully decentralized and centralized training & decentralized execution (CTDE) framework. Numerical results reveal that under each framework, the system is able to converge to a dynamic balance with the guarantee of system stability as each agent gradually learns the approximately optimal strategy. Theoretical results also prove the convergence of the consensus MARL algorithm under certain conditions.In the second work, we introduce a mean-field game framework for the integration of DERs into wholesale energy markets. This framework helps DER owners automatically learn optimal decision policies in response to market price fluctuations and their own variable renewable energy outputs. We prove the existence of a mean-field equilibrium (MFE) for the wholesale energy market, and we develop a heuristic decentralized mean-field learning algorithm to converge to an MFE, taking into consideration the demand/supply shock and flexible demand. Our numerical experiments point to convergence to an MFE and show that our framework effectively reduces peak load and price fluctuations, especially during exogenous demand or supply shocks.

description: In this article we study the so-called water tank system. In this system, the behavior of water contained in a 1-D tank is modelled by Saint-Venant equations, with a scalar distributed control. It is well-known that the linearized systems around uniform steady-states are not controllable, the uncontrollable part being of infinite dimension. Here we will focus on the linearized systems around non-uniform steady states, corresponding to a constant acceleration of the tank. We prove that these systems are controllable in Sobolev spaces, using the moments method and perturbative spectral estimates. Then, for steady states corresponding to small enough accelerations, we design an explicit Proportional Integral feedback law (obtained thanks to a well-chosen dynamic extension of the system) that stabilizes these systems exponentially with arbitrarily large decay rate. Our design relies on feedback equivalence/backstepping.

description: Background In Canada, cost prohibits access to emergency contraception (EC) which may assist to prevent unintended pregnancy. The drug, ulipristal acetate (UPA-EC), is more clinically effective and cost-effective than the prior standard levonorgestrel (LNG-EC). We analyzed provincial EC subsidization policies and examined underlying decision-making processes. Methods We undertook documentary analysis of provincial EC subsidization policies in publicly available drug formularies. We conducted semi-structured interviews with key informants to explore the processes underlying current policies. Results Quebec is the only province to subsidize UPA-EC, whilst all ten provinces subsidize LNG-EC. As such, provincial EC subsidization policies do not align with the latest UPA-EC evidence. Interviews revealed that evidence was valued in the policymaking process and formulary decisions were made through interdisciplinary consensus. Conclusions We identify a gap between EC subsidization policies and the latest evidence. Institutional structures affect policies reflecting evolving evidence. Increasing interdisciplinary mechanisms may encourage evidence-based policies.

description: This document sets out the Data Management Plan XpanDH project. XpanDH is a Coordination and support action that aims at mobilizing and building capacity in individuals and organisations to create, adapt and explore purposeful use of interoperable digital health solutions based on a shared adoption of the European Electronic Health Records Exchange format (EEHRxF) across Europe.The Data Management Plan is divided into three main sections. Following the first introduction section, the second section sets out the legal requirements of processing of personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR (Regulation (EU)2016/679)1. The third section set out the requirements to be met to ensure that data generated by the project that may be lawfully re-used by other are researchers Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable (FAIR) as required Horizon Europe Data Management Plan guidance.The section on Processing Personal Data is divided into three parts. It looks first at the legal and ethical requirements of processing of personal data of project partners in the context of project work. It then considers the legal and ethical requirements of processing of personal data collected in the context of the project from people who engage with the project at webinars, events and through newsletters and similar tools, but who are not signatories to the Grant Agreement and therefore have no contractual relationship with the project consortium. Finally, this section looks at the legal and ethical aspect of collecting and processing sensitive personal data, such as health related data. This has only limited relevance to XpanDH, but is included for completeness.Section three, under the heading of Ethical and FAIR data processing considers briefly requirements of processing data in the context of any experimentation and testing and ensuring they can be re-used where appropriate. This is set out according to the Horizon Europe data Management Plan Template.This Data Management Plan is a live document, it will be updated as needed and as the data processing activities of the project partners become clearer. It is designed to support both the project centrally, as well as individual partners in their data processing activities.

description: The subset selection problem of linear algebra is applied to identify independent patterns of COVID-19 evolution within Brazil. The data consist of a set of mortality curves in states of Brazil. A subset of the most independent curves is selected by using a functional version of the QR matrix decomposition technique with column pivoting. The selected subset is used next as a basis to represent the remaining curves filtering out any data redundancy. For each independent curve, an associated epidemiological region of influence is defined. The results show two main independent curves with a similar two-peak pattern and a 50-day shift between the patterns. Two main epidemiological regions are next identified: one encompassing most of the country from the center and northeast states to the south, an another one containing the Amazonian region at the northwest.

description: We study a model of multi-excited random walk with non-nearest neighbour steps on $\mathbb Z$, in which the walk can jump from a vertex $x$ to either $x+1$ or $x-i$ with $i\in \{1,2,\dots,L\}$, $L\ge 1$. We first point out the multi-type branching structure of this random walk and then prove a limit theorem for a related multi-type Galton-Watson process with emigration, which is of independent interest. Combining this result and the method introduced by Basdevant and Singh [Probab. Theory Related Fields (2008), 141 (3-4)], we extend their result (w.r.t the case $L=1$) to our model. More specifically, we show that in the regime of transience to the right, the walk has positive speed if and only if the expected total drift $δ>2$. This confirms a special case of a conjecture proposed by Davis and Peterson.

description: The project XpanDH aims at mobilizing and building capacity in individuals and organisations to create, adapt and explore purposeful use of interoperable digital health solutions based on a shared adoption of the European Electronic Health Records Exchange format (EEHRxF) across Europe.The X-Bubbles are collections of organisations that agreed to experiment with using the EEHRxF, in a set adoption domain and under the X-Bundle defined conditions, mostly on their own budget, or using other projects budgets, or pro-bono, but in effective articulation with XpanDH. Each X-Bubble is responsible for adopting and demonstrating the use of digital solutions for a specific adoption domain.These organisations represent a sample of EU landscape, in what regards the needs of EEHRxF, based on their organisation and technical settings and aims. They also represent, in concrete, the so-called “early adopters” that will serve the purpose of proving that guidance produced is useful. This aspect is especially critical as the level and kind of guidance depends on the readiness level of each organisation from both technical and organisational perspectives.The experimentation scenarios foreseen in the X-Bubbles of the XpanDH project are described, including the identification of six bubbles associated with six adoption domains considered relevant to the broad adoption of the EEHRxF and taking into account the available resources and experimentation capacity.

description: Outdoor play is critical for the wellbeing of children. In cities, access to unsupervised outdoor play is limited by a host of obstacles. Many of these limiting factors can be mitigated by environmental design. The following identifies seven design principles for urban public landscapes that support play for “tweens” (children 10 to 13 years old). We developed these principles using a mixed methodology that included a literature review, an analysis of qualitive interview transcripts with tweens, and a precedent study of playable urban landscapes. The Seven Cs for Tweens principles include: connectivity, community, cues, character, child agency, challenge, and comfort.

description: Objective: The automatic discrimination between the coughing sounds produced by patients with tuberculosis (TB) and those produced by patients with other lung ailments. Approach: We present experiments based on a dataset of 1358 forced cough recordings obtained in a developing-world clinic from 16 patients with confirmed active pulmonary TB and 35 patients suffering from respiratory conditions suggestive of TB but confirmed to be TB negative. Using nested cross-validation, we have trained and evaluated five machine learning classifiers: logistic regression (LR), support vector machines (SVM), k-nearest neighbour (KNN), multilayer perceptrons (MLP) and convolutional neural networks (CNN). Main Results: Although classification is possible in all cases, the best performance is achieved using LR. In combination with feature selection by sequential forward selection (SFS), our best LR system achieves an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.94 using 23 features selected from a set of 78 high-resolution mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs). This system achieves a sensitivity of 93\% at a specificity of 95\% and thus exceeds the 90\% sensitivity at 70\% specificity specification considered by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as a minimal requirement for a community-based TB triage test. Significance: The automatic classification of cough audio sounds, when applied to symptomatic patients requiring investigation for TB, can meet the WHO triage specifications for the identification of patients who should undergo expensive molecular downstream testing. This makes it a promising and viable means of low cost, easily deployable frontline screening for TB, which can benefit especially developing countries with a heavy TB burden.

description: In this publication, we present a complete and gradual reconstruction of the physical dynamics that lead to the formation, growth, and behavior of black holes, without resorting to exotic hypotheses or unverifiable concepts. Starting from known physical laws, we show how atomic disintegration, mass-based distribution, and the interaction between photons and charged particles lead to the formation of a coherent structure that explains current observations. We demonstrate the existence of an intermediate zone, called the Free Zone, where physical laws take on anomalous yet consistent characteristics, and we introduce the concept of the Gravitational Compton Field, which describes a double confinement barrier involving electrons and protons. The entire process ultimately leads to a revision of the concept of "infinite density" and offers an alternative explanation to space curvature, based on a coherent physical geometry and on effects of energy reflection and accumulation.This version includes an update regarding the final phase of black holes, clarifying their evolution into neutron stars instead of dissolution.

description: Recent work has shown constrained Bayesian optimization to be a powerful technique for the optimization of industrial processes. In complex manufacturing processes, the possibility to run extensive sequences of experiments with the goal of finding good process parameters is severely limited by the time required for quality evaluation of the produced parts. To accelerate the process parameter optimization, we introduce a parallel acquisition procedure tailored on the process characteristics. We further propose an algorithm that adapts to equipment status to improve run-to-run reproducibility. We validate our optimization method numerically and experimentally, and demonstrate that it can efficiently find input parameters that produce the desired outcome and minimize the process cost.

To this end, we compute the local functional that solves the anomaly equations, and obtain analytical expressions for the covariant currents and the Bardeen-Zumino terms. We particularize these results to a background with two flavors, and consider the cases of unbroken and broken chiral symmetry. Finally, we provide explicit results for the constitutive relations of chiral nuclear matter interacting with external electromagnetic fields and in presence of chiral imbalance. We emphasize the non-dissipative nature of the chiral electric effect.

description: This thesis focuses on the status of civics and citizenship education in schools in Afghanistan. My purpose for this study was (a) to understand what is taught about civics education in classrooms, (b) what concepts of civics education are addressed in the national curriculum and the text books, and (c) what role civics education plays in Afghan schools to produce productive citizens. My assumption is that schools have direct impact on civics understanding of the students and how they use their civics knowledge in everyday life. Civics education raises students’ political, governance, and social awareness and informs them about their rights and responsibilities as citizens. At this time of transition of Afghanistan from isolation to connection with the rest of the countries of the world, it is very important to understand how students build up their social and political views and how they perform their civil responsibilities. During my field work, I visited two female schools and one male school in Herat city. My research method was mostly qualitative; phenomenology, case study, and document review approaches. My findings are mostly based on school and classroom observations and my interviews with school teachers, students, and few of the administrative members. I also looked at the signs, symbols, and norms that represent civics education in schools.The little that I might have achieved through this research is aimed to strengthening Afghanistan schools in producing more productive citizens.

description: In this thesis the potential risks associated to the application of biochar in soil as well the stability of biochar were investigated. The study was focused on the potential risks arising from the occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in biochar. An analytical method was developed for the determination of the 16 USEPA-PAHs in the original biochar and soil containing biochar. The method was successfully validated with a certified reference material for the soil matrix and compared with methods in use in other laboratories during a laboratory exercise within the EU-COST TD1107. The concentration of 16 USEPA-PAHs along with the 15 EU-PAHs, priority hazardous substances in food, was determined in a suite of currently available biochars for agricultural field applications derived from a variety of parent materials and pyrolysis conditions. Biochars analyzed contained the USEPA and some of the EU-PAHs at detectable levels ranging from 1.2 to 19 µg g-1. This method allowed investigating changes in PAH content and distribution in a four years study following biochar addition in soils in a vineyard (CNR-IBIMET). The results showed that biochar addition determined an increase of the amount of PAHs. However, the levels of PAHs in the soil remained within the maximum acceptable concentration for European countries. The vineyard soil performed by CNR-IBIMET was exploited to study the environmental stability of biochar and its impact on soil organic carbon. The stability of biochar was investigated by analytical pyrolysis (Py-GC-MS) and pyrolysis in the presence of hydrogen (HyPy). The findings showed that biochar amendment significantly influence soil stable carbon fraction concentration during the incubation period. Moreover, HyPy and Py-GC-MS were applied to biochars deriving from three different feedstock at two different pyrolysis temperatures. The results evidenced the influence of feedstock type and pyrolysis conditions on the degree of carbonisation.

description: An isoparametric family in the unit sphere consists of parallel isoparametric hypersurfaces and their two focal submanifolds. The present paper has two parts. The first part investigates topology of the isoparametric families, namely the homotopy, homeomorphism, or diffeomorphism types, parallelizability, as well as the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category. This part extends substantially the results of Q.M.Wang in \cite{Wa88}. The second part is concerned with their curvatures, more precisely, we determine when they have non-negative sectional curvatures or positive Ricci curvatures with the induced metric.

Facial Expression Recognition with Visual Transformers and Attentional Selective Fusion

description: Facial Expression Recognition (FER) in the wild is extremely challenging due to occlusions, variant head poses, face deformation and motion blur under unconstrained conditions. Although substantial progresses have been made in automatic FER in the past few decades, previous studies were mainly designed for lab-controlled FER. Real-world occlusions, variant head poses and other issues definitely increase the difficulty of FER on account of these information-deficient regions and complex backgrounds. Different from previous pure CNNs based methods, we argue that it is feasible and practical to translate facial images into sequences of visual words and perform expression recognition from a global perspective. Therefore, we propose the Visual Transformers with Feature Fusion (VTFF) to tackle FER in the wild by two main steps. First, we propose the attentional selective fusion (ASF) for leveraging two kinds of feature maps generated by two-branch CNNs. The ASF captures discriminative information by fusing multiple features with the global-local attention. The fused feature maps are then flattened and projected into sequences of visual words. Second, inspired by the success of Transformers in natural language processing, we propose to model relationships between these visual words with the global self-attention. The proposed method is evaluated on three public in-the-wild facial expression datasets (RAF-DB, FERPlus and AffectNet). Under the same settings, extensive experiments demonstrate that our method shows superior performance over other methods, setting new state of the art on RAF-DB with 88.14%, FERPlus with 88.81% and AffectNet with 61.85%. The cross-dataset evaluation on CK+ shows the promising generalization capability of the proposed method.

description: There is preliminary evidence that work-related self-efficacy might be enhanced by (workplace-based) cognitive-behavioural interventions. Mastery experiences are considered the strongest source of self-efficacy. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effects of a 4-week psychotherapeutic intervention module which focuses past and present work-related mastery experiences. Moreover, we aim to explore treatment satisfaction and adverse events. Participants will be employees with a diagnosis of a common mental disorder or subclinical symptoms of psychosomatic disorders who seek help concerning current work-related issues. We will employ a single-case experimental design (SCED) with multiple baselines across participants. The design comprises three phases: 1) baseline, lasting 12 to 44 days, 2) intervention, lasting 29 days, 3) posttreatment, lasting 7 to 39 days. Outcomes (levels of work-related self-efficacy and mastery experiences) will be measured daily with standardized self-report questionnaires. Visual analysis and statistical randomization tests will be performed.

description: We consider a quantum spin chain with nearest neighbor interactions and sparsely distributed on-site impurities. We prove commutator bounds for its Heisenberg dynamics which incorporate the coupling strengths of the impurities. The impurities are assumed to satisfy a minimum spacing, and each impurity has a non-degenerate spectrum. Our results are proven in a broadly applicable setting, both in finite volume and in thermodynamic limit. We apply our results to improve Lieb-Robinson bounds for the Heisenberg spin chain with a random, sparse transverse field drawn from a heavy-tailed distribution.
