description: Proponents of free markets for electricity assert that minor fixes to the California market and to FERC's proposed Standard Market Design would generate lower prices. We disagree. Designing a competitive market that remedies the problems seen in California and other restructured markets is difficult; emulating even good ISOs like PJM will not do the job. Each one of the problems can be overcome, but the costs of doing so might make full deregulation unattractive.

description: Prioritization strategies aim to highlight contaminants of highest concern among hundreds or thousands of features detected with high-resolution mass spectrometry in environmental samples. Online prioritization techniques allow real-time analysis of low-energy mass spectrum to trigger molecular dissociation of isolated precursors, thereby overcoming challenges with discrete duty cycle times. Offline prioritization techniques, in contrast, do not require a priori knowledge for the chemicals of interest. Alternatively, information from the sample analysis can be used to highlight features based on their relative profile, or the predicted structure, toxicity and concentration. These techniques were applied to the analysis of emerging contaminants in recycled textiles, containing cotton, elastane, polyester, and polyamide substrates. Suspect and non-targeted analysis was performed on approximately 9000 high-quality features. MS1 peaks were initially matched with a list of chemicals associated with textile production by the Swedish Chemical Agency (KEMI) for further interrogation. Simultaneously, all detected features highlighted by online and offline prioritization strategies were ranked based on their relative intensity and predicted acute aquatic toxicity. Results of textile related substances annotated with respective confidence, including their associated risk of exposure, will be discussed in the presentation.

description: The computed $\log(τ/{\rm y})$-$\log(m/m_\odot)$ relation for the stellar initial mass range, 0.6-120.0, and the stellar initial metallicity range, 0.0004-0.0500, tabulated in an earlier attempt (Portinari et al. 1998) is fitted to a good extent by a four-parameter curve, expressed by a double power-law, for assigned stellar initial metallicity, which can be reduced to a three-parameter curve, expressed by a single power-law, for the whole set of stellar initial metallicities. The relative errors do not exceed about 2% and 4%, respectively. The extent to which the interpolation curve, expressed by a single power-law, can be extrapolated towards both high-mass and low-mass stars, is also investigated. High-mass star lifetimes are understimated by a factor less than 2 up to $m/m_\odot= 1000$ and by a fiducial factor less than 4 up to infinite. Low-mass star lifetimes are overstimated by a factor of about 3 down to $m/m_\odot=0.25$ and by an unacceptably large factor down to $m/m_\odot=0.08$. As a simple application, the star mass fraction of a single star generation with stellar initial mass function defined by a power-law, is plotted vs. the logarithmic stellar lifetime. The star mass fraction declines in time at a decreasing rate for mild stellar initial mass function and at an increasing rate for steep stellar initial mass function, where a linear trend is exhibited for a value of the exponent close to the Salpeter's value, equal to -2.35.

description: We revisit the role of longitudinal waves in driving the solar wind. We study how the the $p$-mode-like vertical oscillation on the photosphere affects the properties of solar winds under the framework of Alfvén-wave-driven winds. We perform a series of one-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical numerical simulations from the photosphere to beyond several tens of solar radii. We find that the mass-loss rate drastically increases with the longitudinal wave amplitude at the photosphere up to $\sim 4$ times, in contrast to the classical understanding that the acoustic wave hardly affects the energetics of the solar wind. The addition of the longitudinal fluctuation induces the longitudinal-to-transverse wave mode conversion in the chromosphere, which results in the enhanced Alfvénic Poynting flux in the corona. Consequently, the coronal heating is promoted to give higher coronal density by the chromospheric evaporation, leading to the increased mass-loss rate. This study clearly shows the importance of the longnitudinal oscillation in the photosphere and the mode conversion in the chromosphere in determining the basic properties of the wind from solar-like stars.

description: The phonon propagation dynamics in a phononic crystal waveguide, realized via a suspended one-dimensional membrane array with periodic air holes, is investigated as function of its geometry. The bandstructure of the phononic crystal can be engineered by modifying the characteristics of the phonon standing waves in the waveguide by varying the waveguide width and the pitch of the air holes. This enables the phonon transmission bands, the bandgaps, the velocity and the nonlinear dispersion in the phononic crystal to be controlled. Indeed the engineered bandstructure can also be tuned to sustain multiple phonon modes in a given branch which whilst being spectrally degenerate can be temporally resolved via their differing group velocities. This systematic study reveals the key geometric parameters that enable the phonon transport in phononic crystal waveguides to be fully controlled.

description: For its replication within red blood cells, the malaria parasite depends on a highly active and regulated lipid metabolism. Enzymes involved in lipid metabolic processes such as phospholipases are, therefore, potential drug targets. Here, using reverse genetics approaches, we show that only 1 out of the 19 putative phospholipases expressed in asexual blood stages of Plasmodium falciparum is essential for proliferation in vitro, pointing toward a high level of redundancy among members of this enzyme family. Using conditional mislocalization and gene disruption techniques, we show that this essential phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC, PF3D7_1013500) has a previously unrecognized essential role during intracellular parasite maturation, long before its previously perceived role in parasite egress and invasion. Subsequent lipidomic analysis suggests that PI-PLC mediates cleavage of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP2) in schizont-stage parasites, underlining its critical role in regulating phosphoinositide levels in the parasite. IMPORTANCE The clinical symptoms of malaria arise due to repeated rounds of replication of Plasmodium parasites within red blood cells (RBCs). Central to this is an intense period of membrane biogenesis. Generation of membranes not only requires de novo synthesis and acquisition but also the degradation of phospholipids, a function that is performed by phospholipases. In this study, we investigate the essentiality of the 19 putative phospholipase enzymes that the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum expresses during its replication within RBCs. We not only show that a high level of functional redundancy exists among these enzymes but, at the same time, also identify an essential role for the phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C in parasite development and cleavage of the phospholipid phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate.
Low frequency water level correction in storm surge models using data assimilation

description: Research performed to-date on data assimilation (DA) in storm surge modeling has found it to have limited value for predicting rapid surge responses (e.g., those accompanying tropical cyclones). In this paper, we submit that a well-resolved, barotropic hydrodynamic model is typically able to capture the surge event itself, leaving slower processes that determine the large scale, background water level as primary sources of water level error. These “unresolved drivers” reflect physical processes not included in the model's governing equations or forcing terms, such as far field atmospheric forcing, baroclinic processes, major ocean currents, steric variations, or precipitation. We have developed a novel, efficient, optimal interpolation-based DA scheme, using observations from coastal water level gages, that dynamically corrects for the presence of unresolved drivers. The methodology is applied for Hurricane Matthew (2016) and results demonstrate it is highly effective at removing water level residuals, roughly halving overall surge errors for that storm. The method is computationally efficient, well-suited for either hindcast or forecast applications and extensible to more advanced techniques and datasets.

description: OpenFlow is one of the most commonly used protocols for communication between the controller and the forwarding element in a software defined network (SDN). A model based on M/M/1 queues is proposed in [1] to capture the communication between the forwarding element and the controller. Albeit the model provides useful insight, it is accurate only for the case when the probability of expecting a new flow is small. Secondly, it is not straight forward to extend the model in [1] to more than one forwarding element in the data plane. In this work we propose a model which addresses both these challenges. The model is based on Jackson assumption but with corrections tailored to the OpenFlow based SDN network. Performance analysis using the proposed model indicates that the model is accurate even for the case when the probability of new flow is quite large. Further we show by a toy example that the model can be extended to more than one node in the data plane.

We show how the unit ball in the $\mathrm{BMO}$ space, or a Muckenhoupt class, or a Gehring class can be described in such a fashion. Finally, we consider a Bellman function problem on these classes, discuss its solution and related questions.

description: Apart from a lot of fundamental interest, vector Bessel beams are widely used in optical manipulation, material processing, and imaging. However, the existing description of such beams remains fragmentary, especially when their scattering by small particles is considered. We propose a new general classification of all existing vortex Bessel beam types in an isotropic medium based on the superposition of transverse Hertz vector potentials. This theoretical framework contains duality and coordinate rotations as elementary matrix operations and naturally describes all relations between various beam types. This leads to various bases for Bessel beams and uncovers the novel beam type with circularly symmetric energy density. We also discuss quadratic functionals of the fields (such as the energy density and Poynting vector) and derive orthogonality relations between various beam types. Altogether, it provides a comprehensive reference of all properties of Bessel beams that may be relevant for applications. Next we generalize the formalism of the Mueller scattering matrices to arbitrary Bessel beams accounting for their vorticity. Finally, we implement these beams in the ADDA code - an open-source parallel implementation of the discrete dipole approximation. This enables easy and efficient simulation of Bessel-beams scattering by particles with arbitrary shape and internal structure.

description: The layered 5d transition metal oxides like Sr2IrO4 have attracted significant interest recently due to a number of exotic and new phenomena induced by the interplay between the spin-orbit coupling, bandwidth W and on-site Coulomb correlation U. In contrast to a metallic behavior expected from the Mott-Hubbard model due to more spatially extended 5d orbitals and moderate U, an insulating ground state has been observed in Sr2IrO4. Such an insulating behavior can be understood by an effective J_eff=1/2 Mott insulator model by incorporating both electron correlation and strong spin-orbital coupling, although its validity remains under debate at present. In particular, Sr2IrO4 exhibits a number of similarities to the high temperature cuprate superconductors in the crystal structure, electronic structure, magnetic structure, and even possible high temperature superconductivity. Here we report a new observation of the anomalous high energy electronic structure in Sr2IrO4. By taking high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission measurements on Sr2IrO4 over a wide energy range, we have revealed that the high energy electronic structures show unusual nearly-vertical bands that extend over a large energy range. Such anomalous high energy behaviors resemble the high energy waterfall features observed in the cuprate superconductors, adding one more important similarity between these two systems. While strong electron correlation plays an important role in producing high energy waterfall features in the cuprate superconductors, the revelation of the high energy anomalies in Sr2IrO4 points to a novel route in generating exotic electronic excitations from the strong spin-orbit coupling and a moderate electron correlation.

description: The amount and extent of coastal flooding caused by hurricanes can be sensitive to the timing or speed of the storm. For storms moving parallel to the coast, the hazards can be stretched over a larger area. Hurricane Matthew was a powerful storm that impacted the southeastern U.S. during October 2016, moving mostly parallel to the coastline from Florida through North Carolina. In this study, three sources for atmospheric forcing are considered for a simulation of Matthew's water levels, which are validated against extensive observations, and then the storm's effects are explored on this long coastline. It is hypothesized that the spatial variability of Matthew's effects on total water levels is partly due to the surge interacting nonlinearly with tides. By changing the time of occurrence of the storm, differences in storm surge are observed in different regions due to the storm coinciding with other periods in the tidal cycles. These differences are found to be as large as 1 m and comparable to the tidal amplitude. A change in forward speed of the storm also should alter its associated flooding due to differences in the duration over which the storm impacts the coastal waters. With respect to the forward speed, the present study contributes to established results by considering the scenario of a shore-parallel hurricane. A faster storm caused an increase in peak water levels along the coast but a decrease in the overall volume of inundation. On the other hand, a slower storm pushed more water into the estuaries and bays and flooded a larger section of the coast. Implications for short-term forecasting and long-term design studies for storms moving parallel to long coastlines are discussed herein.

description: Graphene has recently been shown to possess giant nonlinearity; however, the utility of this nonlinearity is limited due to high losses and small interaction volume. We show that by performing waveguide engineering to graphene's nonlinearity, we are able to dramatically increase the nonlinear parameter and decrease the switching optical power to sub-watt levels. Our design makes use of the hybrid plasmonic waveguide and careful manipulation of graphene's refractive index by tuning its Fermi level. The ability to tailor the nonlinear parameter in graphene based waveguides via the Fermi level provides a paradigm of nonlinear optics devices to be realized.

description: Storm surge and overland flooding can be predicted with computational models at high levels of resolution. To improve efficiency in forecasting applications, surge models often use atmospheric forcing from parametric vortex models, which represent the surface pressures and wind fields with a few storm parameters. The future of storm surge prediction could involve real-time coupling of surge and full-physics atmospheric models; thus, their accuracies must be understood in a real hurricane scenario. The authors compare predictions from a parametric vortex model (using forecast tracks from the National Hurricane Center) and a full-physics coupled atmosphere-wave-ocean model during Hurricane Isaac (2012). The predictions are then applied within a tightly coupled, wave and surge modeling system describing the northern Gulf of Mexico and the floodplains of southwest Louisiana. It is shown that, in a hindcast scenario, a parametric vortex model can outperform a data-assimilated wind product, and given reasonable forecast advisories, a parametric vortex model gives reasonable surge forecasts. However, forecasts using a full-physics coupled model outperformed the forecast advisories and improved surge forecasts. Both approaches are valuable for forecasting the coastal impacts associated with tropical cyclones.

description: In this contribution, we describe the applied methods to construct a 24 micron based point source catalog derived from the image data of the MIPSGAL 24 micron Galactic Plane Survey and the corresponding data products. The high quality catalog product contains 933,818 sources, with a total of 1,353,228 in the full archive catalog. The source tables include positional and photometric informa- tion derived from the 24 micron images, source quality and confusion flags and coun- terpart photometry from matched 2MASS, GLIMPSE, and WISE point sources. Completeness decay data cubes are constructed at 1 arcminute angular resolution that describe the varying background levels over the MIPSGAL field and the ability to extract sources of a given magnitude from this background. The completeness decay cubes are included in the set of data products. We present the results of our efforts to verify the astrometric and photometric calibration of the catalog, and present several analyses of minor anomalies in these measurements to justify adopted mitigation strategies.

description: Habitat suitability index (HSI) models are increasingly used to guide ecological restoration. Successful restoration is a byproduct of several factors, including physical and biological processes, as well as permitting and logistical considerations. Rarely are factors from all of these categories included in HSI models, despite their combined relevance to common restoration goals such as population persistence. We developed a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based HSI for restoring persistent high-relief subtidal oyster (Crassostrea virginica) reefs protected from harvest (i.e., sanctuaries) in Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, USA. Expert stakeholder input identified 17 factors to include in the HSI. Factors primarily represented physical (e.g., salinity) and biological (e.g., larval dispersal) processes relevant to oyster restoration, but also included several relevant permitting (e.g., presence of seagrasses) and logistical (e.g., distance to restoration material stockpile sites) considerations. We validated the model with multiple years of oyster density data from existing sanctuaries, and compared HSI output with distributions of oyster reefs from the late 1800's. Of the 17 factors included in the model, stakeholders identified four factors-salinity, larval export from existing oyster sanctuaries, larval import to existing sanctuaries, and dissolved oxygen-most critical to oyster sanctuary site selection. The HSI model provided a quantitative scale over which a vast water body (~6,000 km2) was narrowed down by 95% to a much smaller suite of optimal (top 1% HSI) and suitable (top 5% HSI) locations for oyster restoration. Optimal and suitable restoration locations were clustered in northeast and southwest Pamlico Sound. Oyster density in existing sanctuaries, normalized for time since reef restoration, was a positive exponential function of HSI, providing validation for the model. Only a small portion (10-20%) of historical reef locations overlapped with current, model-predicted optimal and suitable restoration habitat. We contend that stronger linkages between larval connectivity, landscape ecology, stakeholder engagement and spatial planning within HSI models can provide a more holistic, unified approach to restoration.

The increment of path predictability can directly be associated with stronger decoherence process. We have also theoretically predicted that placing two detectors in both the paths, which are at the same equilibrium temperature with the system, erases all the memory of path information and hence acts like a quantum eraser.

description: We show theoretically that an intense femtosecond optical pulse incident normally on a metal surface tends to decay into a pair of counter-propagating surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs). The interference field heats the medium periodically, which causes a periodic permittivity perturbation and resonantly amplifies the magnitudes of SPPs. The instability growth time is only 10-50 fs for typical metals at damaging laser fluences. This mechanism is promising for the interpretation of laser-induced periodic surface structures formation in a single-pulse pumping regime.

description: A temporal graph is a graph in which the edge set can change from one time step to the next. The temporal graph exploration problem TEXP is the problem of computing a foremost exploration schedule for a temporal graph, i.e., a temporal walk that starts at a given start node, visits all nodes of the graph, and has the smallest arrival time. In the first part of the paper, we consider only undirected temporal graphs that are connected at each time step. For such temporal graphs with $n$ nodes, we show that it is \NP-hard to approximate TEXP with ratio $O(n^{1-\varepsilon})$ for every $\varepsilon>0$. We also provide an explicit construction of temporal graphs that require $Θ(n^2)$ time steps to be explored. In the second part of the paper, we still consider temporal graphs that are connected in each time step, but we assume that the underlying graph (i.e. the graph that contains all edges that are present in the temporal graph in at least one time step) belongs to a specific class of graphs. Among other results, we show that temporal graphs can be explored in $O(n^{1.5}k^{1.5}\log n)$ time steps if the underlying graph has treewidth $k$, in $O(n^{1.8}\log n)$ time steps if the underlying graph is planar, and in $O(n\log^3 n)$ time steps if the underlying graph is a $2\times n$ grid. In the third part of the paper, we consider settings where the graphs in future time steps are not known and the exploration schedule is constructed online. We replace the connectedness assumption by a weaker assumption and show that $m$-edge temporal graphs with regularly present edges and with probabilistically present edges can be explored online in $O(m)$ time steps and $O(m \log n)$ time steps with high probability, respectively. We finally show that the latter result can be used to obtain a distributed algorithm for the gossiping problem in random temporal graphs.

description: Passarino-Veltman (PV) reduction method has been proved to be very useful for the computation of general one-loop integrals. However, not much progress has been made when applying to higher loops. Recently, we have improved the PV-reduction method by introducing an auxiliary vector. In this paper, we apply our new method to the simplest two-loop integrals, i.e., the sunset topology. We show how to use differential operators to establish algebraic recursion relations for reduction coefficients. Our algorithm can be easily applied to the reduction of integrals with arbitrary high-rank tensor structures. We demonstrate the efficiency of our algorithm by computing the reduction with the total tensor rank up to four.

description: Storm surge prediction models rely on an accurate representation of the wind conditions. In this paper, we examine the sensitivity of surge predictions to forecast uncertainties in the track and strength of a storm (storm strength is quantified by the power dissipation of the associated wind field). This analysis is performed using Hurricane Arthur (2014), a Category 2 hurricane, which made landfall along the North Carolina (NC) coast in early July 2014. Hindcast simulations of a coupled hydrodynamic-wave model are performed on a large unstructured mesh to analyze the surge impact of Arthur along the NC coastline. The effects of Arthur are best represented by a post-storm data assimilated wind product with parametric vortex winds providing a close approximation. Surge predictions driven by forecast advisories issued by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) during Arthur are analyzed. The storm track predictions from the NHC improve over time. However, successive advisories predict an unrealistic increase in the storm's strength. Due to these forecast errors, the global root mean square errors of the predicted wind speeds and water levels increase as the storm approaches landfall. The relative impacts of the track and strength errors on the surge predictions are assessed by replacing forecast storm parameters with the best known post-storm information about Arthur. In a “constant track” analysis, Arthur's post storm determined track is used in place of the track predictions of the different advisories but each advisory retains its size and intensity predictions. In a “constant storm strength” analysis, forecast wind and pressure parameters are replaced by corresponding parameters extracted from the post storm analysis while each advisory retains its forecast storm track. We observe a strong correlation between the forecast errors and the wind speed predictions. However, the correlation between these errors and the forecast water levels is weak signifying a non-linear response of the shallow coastal waters to meteorological forcing.

description: Many transient and variable sources detected at multiple wavelengths are also observed to vary at radio frequencies. However, these samples are typically biased towards sources that are initially detected in wide-field optical, X-ray or gamma-ray surveys. Many sources that are insufficiently bright at higher frequencies are therefore missed, leading to potential gaps in our knowledge of these sources and missing populations that are not detectable in optical, X-rays or gamma-rays. Taking advantage of new state-of-the-art radio facilities that provide high quality wide-field images with fast survey speeds, we can now conduct unbiased surveys for transient and variable sources at radio frequencies. In this paper, we present an unbiased survey using observations obtained by MeerKAT, a mid-frequency ($\sim$1.4 GHz) radio array in South Africa's Karoo Desert. The observations used were obtained as part of a weekly monitoring campaign for X-ray binaries (XRBs) and we focus on the field of MAXI J1820+070. We develop methods to optimally filter transient and variable candidates that can be directly applied to other datasets. In addition to MAXI J1820+070, we identify four likely active galactic nuclei, one source that could be a Galactic source (pulsar or quiescent X-ray binary) or an AGN, and one variable pulsar. No transient sources, defined as being undetected in deep images, were identified leading to a transient surface density of $<3.7\times10^{-2}$ deg$^{-2}$ at a sensitivity of 1 mJy on timescales of one week at 1.4 GHz.

description: The goal of our research program described in this chapter is to contribute to knowledge about how the introduction of robots affects individuals and the structure, functioning, and effectiveness of organizations. Robots are being used in increasing numbers in offices and factories throughout the world. Current estimates put the number of robots in use in the United States in 1983 at about 7, 000 (Hunt & Hunt, 1 983 ). Little is known, however, about how individual workers react to the introduction of robots or about how the use of robots affects organizational structures, processes, and outcomes. The research described here is an attempt to fill this gap in our' knowledge about the social impacts of robotics.

description: We report two fundamental inequalities in the Stoner-Wohlfarth model. Specifically, we investigate the theoretical limit for the initial magnetic susceptibility in a system described by the Stoner-Wohlfarth approach. We also find analytical solutions for the magnetization in the low-field regime and obtain the borderline value for the uniaxial anisotropy constant in such an ideal Stoner-Wohlfarth system. We go beyond and introduce a general mean-field theory for interacting Stoner-Wohlfarth-like systems, thus estimating how the initial magnetic susceptibility is affected by the dipolar and exchange interactions inside the system. By means of a simple insight from a fundamental inequality for the magnetic susceptibility of an ideal Stoner-Wohlfarth system, we show its violation is a signature of the existence of exchange interactions between nanoparticles in an interacting Stoner-Wohlfarth-like system.

description: We consider the low-temperature thermal transport properties of the 2D proximity-induced superconducting state formed at the interface between a 3D strong topological insulator (TI) and a d-wave superconductor (dSC). This system is a playground for studying massless Dirac fermions, as they enter both as quasiparticles of the dSC and as surface states of the TI. For TI surface states with a single Dirac point, the four nodes in the interface-state quasiparticle excitation spectrum coalesce into a single node as the chemical potential, $μ$, is tuned from above the impurity scattering rate ($|μ| \gg Γ_0$) to below ($|μ| \ll Γ_0$). We calculate, via Kubo formula, the universal limit ($T \rightarrow 0$) thermal conductivity, $κ_0$, as a function of $μ$, as it is tuned through this transition. In the large and small $|μ|$ limits, we obtain disorder-independent, closed-form expressions for $κ_0/T$. The large-$|μ|$ expression is exactly half the value expected for a d-wave superconductor, a demonstration of the sense in which the TI surface topological metal is half of an ordinary 2D electron gas. Our numerical results for intermediate $|μ|$ illustrate the nature of the transition between these limits, which is shown to depend on disorder in a well-defined manner.

description: Dit 14de deel in de reeks Entomologische Tabellen is met zijn 406 pagina's duidelijk het dikste van de hele reeks tot nog toe. Dat is ook niet verwonderlijk want de orde der Trichoptera bevat in het besproken gebied niet minder dan 232 soorten. Daarvan komen er in België 215 soorten voor (in Vlaanderen 168 en in Wallonië 201), in het Groothertogdom Luxemburg 189 en in Nederland 182. Het feit dat de larven van de meeste soorten aan stromend water gebonden zijn, verklaart waarom er in Wallonië en Luxemburg grotere aantallen soorten voorkomen.
