description: Increasing the number and consequently the penetration levels of photovoltaic (PV) systems in electricity grids can lead to technical integration challenges. Among them is the understanding of the spatial distribution of PV systems, their actual power output and – over time – their long-term behavior. In this work, we carried out a large-area PV system performance assessment, leveraging on a dense network of irradiance sensors. This paper describes a novel method for estimating the “Performance Ratio” (PR) of solar PV systems across large areas, demonstrated for the case of Singapore – a tropical country located 1° north of the equator. It also demonstrates other methods for assessing the performance of PV systems without dedicated irradiance devices on site. The validation of the results show that it is possible to estimate the PR with good agreement between the proposed method (generated via a 2D irradiance map through interpolating techniques) and actual readings from the field (with calibrated silicon sensors in the plane-of-the-array).

description: This is a survey of the electrostatic potentials produced by charged straight-line segments, in various numbers of spatial dimensions, with comparisons between uniformly charged segments and those having non-uniform linear charge distributions that give rise to ellipsoidal equipotentials surrounding the segments. A uniform linear distribution of charge is compatible with ellipsoidal equipotentials only for three dimensions. In higher dimensions, the linear charge density giving rise to ellipsoidal equipotentials is counter-intuitive --- the charge distribution has a maximum at the center of the segment and vanishes at the ends of the segment. Only in two dimensions is the continuous charge distribution intuitive --- for that one case of ellipsoidal equipotentials, the charge is peaked at the ends of the segment and minimized at the center.

description: The emergence of mobile platforms with increased storage and computing capabilities and the pervasive use of these platforms for sensitive applications such as online banking, e-commerce and the storage of sensitive information on these mobile devices have led to increasing danger associated with malware targeted at these devices. Detecting such malware presents inimitable challenges as signature-based detection techniques available today are becoming inefficient in detecting new and unknown malware. In this research, a machine learning approach for the detection of malware on Android platforms is presented. The detection system monitors and extracts features from the applications while in execution and uses them to perform in-device detection using a trained K-Nearest Neighbour classifier. Results shows high performance in the detection rate of the classifier with accuracy of 93.75%, low error rate of 6.25% and low false positive rate with ability of detecting real Android malware.

description: The diffusion of the photovoltaic installations is reaching significant levels in the low voltage electric grid, therefore the need of effective energy management strategies increases. Within the Swiss2Grid (S2G) pilot project we are designing and testing a tool that allows the decentralized management of the distributed generation and consumption by controlling local energy storage systems and shifting the activation of households loads. In order to assess the effects of higher levels of diffusion of photovoltaic and storage system into the low voltage grid, we modeled the pilot residential neighborhood in Modelica, a multi-domain, open-source modeling language. In this paper we describe the components and the selected penetration scenarios. We finally present the results of the simulations, analyzing the effects of the chosen scenarios on neighborhood overall power, voltage instabilities and self-consumption.

description: [Abridged] We have recently reported on the collapse and fragmentation properties of the northernmost part of this structure, located ~2.4pc north of Orion KL -- the Orion Molecular Cloud 3 (OMC 3, Takahashi et al. 2013). As part of our project to study the integral-shaped filament, we analyze the fragmentation properties of the northern OMC 1 filament. This filament is a dense structure previously identified by JCMT/SCUBA submillimeter continuum and VLA ammonia observations and shown to have fragmented into clumps. We observed OMC1 n with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) at 1.3mm and report on our analysis of the continuum data. We discovered 24 new compact sources, ranging in mass from 0.1 to 2.3, in size from 400 to 1300au, and in density from 2.6 x 10^7 to 2.8 x 10^6 cm^{-3}. The masses of these sources are similar to those of the SMA protostars in OMC3, but their typical sizes and densities are lower by a factor of ten. Only 8% of the new sources have infrared counterparts, yet there are five associated CO molecular outflows. These sources are thus likely in the Class 0 evolutionary phase yet it cannot be excluded that some of the sources might still be pre-stellar cores. The spatial analysis of the protostars shows that these are divided into small groups that coincide with previously identified JCMT/SCUBA 850 micron and VLA ammonia clumps, and that these are separated by a quasi-equidistant length of ~30arcmin (0.06pc). This separation is dominated by the Jeans length, and therefore indicates that the main physical process in the filament's evolution was thermal fragmentation. Within the protostellar groups, the typical separation is ~6arcsec (~2500\,au), which is a factor 2-3 smaller than the Jeans length of the parental clumps within which the protostars are embedded. These results point to a hierarchical (2-level) thermal fragmentation process of the OMC1n filament.

description: In Western Europe the majority of railway transports is supplied electrically (approx. 85 % of all journeys on approx. 50% of the tracks). Electrical frequencies between 16.7 Hz and 50.0 Hz and high voltages between 8 kV up to 50 kV have established in Europe due to technical or historical reasons.
An integration of renewable energy systems, specifically photovoltaic systems (PV) into the railway grid may make sense; particularly against the background that the term railway has a green appeal.
Target of this publication is to show the technical challenges and design aspects for the electrical connection of such PV systems to the rail grid. Factors like electrical energy yield, single-phase connection, grid stability, voltage, variability of load, mechanical vibrations caused by passing high-speed trains (pressure sound wave), installation, safety aspects, and first of all costs have to be considered.

description: Young person's information leaflet for the Youth Experience Matters research study (RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences and Central Remedial Clinic, Dublin, Ireland) Abstract: Young people with physical disability experience challenges to being physically active. To attain the health benefits of physical activity (PA) and sustain engagement, it is essential that participation is meaningful and enjoyable. This study aims to understand “what really matters” for participating in PA, from the perspectives of adolescents with physical disability. A parallel convergent mixed methods study will be undertaken, comprising a national cross-sectional quantitative assessment of PA participation (“Participation Snapshot”) and Delphi consensus study (“Delphi”). Young people (n=100) aged 13-17 years with a primary physical disability diagnosis will be invited to take part. The Participation Snapshot primary outcome is the Children’s Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment (CAPE). Contextual factors including disability diagnosis, demographics, mobility (Functional Mobility Scale), hand function (Manual Ability Classification System) and health related quality of life (Child Health Utility 9D) will also be collected. The Delphi will comprise two to four survey rounds, until consensus is reached. Round 1 (“Your Experience”) consists of a bespoke survey, designed and piloted with a public and patient involvement (PPI) panel, with open-ended questions and Likert scales inviting contributions from young people on their prior experience, barriers and facilitators, and ideas on participation in PA. Responses will be analysed using reflexive thematic analysis to construct the key themes, conceptualized under the “F-words” framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). These themes will be presented back to participants in subsequent rounds for selection and ranking, until consensus is achieved on the “top 10 priorities”. The project team and PPI panel will then co-design dissemination material and identify targets for dissemination to relevant stakeholder or policy groups. The findings will provide a basis for developing interventions aiming to empower, encourage and sustain future physical activity participation in a meaningful way by young people with physical disability.
Josephson effect in multi-terminal superconductor-ferromagnet junctions coupled via triplet components

description: On the basis of the Usadel equation we study a multi-terminal Josephson junction. This junction is composed by "magnetic" superconductors S$_{\text{m}}$ which have singlet pairing and are separated from the normal n~wire by spin filters so that the Josephson coupling is caused only by fully polarized triplet components. We show that there is no interaction between triplet Cooper pairs with antiparallel total spin orientations. The presence of an additional singlet superconductor S attached to the n wire leads to a finite Josephson current $I_{\text{Q}}$ with an unusual current--phase relation. The density of states in the n wire for different orientations of spins of Cooper pairs is calculated. We derive a general formula for the current $I_{\text{Q}}$ in a multi-terminal Josephson contact and apply this formula for analysis of two four-terminal Josephson junctions of different structures. It is shown in particular that both the "nematic" and the "magnetic" cases can be realized in these junctions. In a two-terminal structure with parallel filter orientations and in a three-terminal structure with antiparallel filter orientations of the "magnetic" superconductors with attached additional singlet superconductor, we find a nonmonotonic temperature dependence of the critical current. Also, in these structures, the critical current shows a Riedel peak like dependence on the exchange field in the "magnetic" superconductors. Although there is no current through the S/n interface due to orthogonality of the singlet and triplet components, the phase of the order parameter in the superconuctor S is shown to affect the Josephson current in a multi-terminal structure.

Hydrodynamic boundary effects on thermophoresis of confined colloids

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We study hydrodynamic slowing-down of a particle moving in a temperature gradient perpendicular to a wall. At distances much smaller than the particle radius, $h\ll a$, lubrication approximation leads to the reduced velocity $u/u_{0}=3\frac{h}{a}\ln \frac{a}{h}$, with respect to the bulk value $u_{0}$. With Brenner's result for confined diffusion, we find that the trapping efficiency, or effective Soret coefficient, increases logarithmically as the particle gets very close to the wall. This provides a quantitative explanation for the recently observed enhancement of thermophoretic trapping at short distances. Our discussion of parallel and perpendicular thermophoresis in a capillary, reveals a very a good agreement with five recent experiments on charged polystyrene particles.

description: Mathematical models have been widely used to describe the collective movement of bacteria by chemotaxis. In particular, bacterial concentration waves traveling in a narrow channel have been experimentally observed and can be precisely described thanks to a mathematical model at the macroscopic scale. Such model was derived in [1] using a kinetic model based on an accurate description of the mesoscopic run-and-tumble process. We extend this approach to study the behavior of the interaction between two populations of E. Coli. Separately, each population travels with its own speed in the channel. When put together, a synchronization of the speed of the traveling pulses can be observed. We show that this synchronization depends on the fraction of the fast population. Our approach is based on mathematical analysis of a macroscopic model of partial differential equations. Numerical simulations in comparison with experimental observations show qualitative agreement.

description: To contrast the phenomenon of false positives in the diagnoses of dyscalculia in Italy, among 3rd grade children, a 3-year project (2011-2014), built upon a collaboration between psychologists and mathematics educators, was carried out. Within the project specific teaching strategies for preventing and addressing learning difficulties in arithmetic arising at the beginning of primary school were designed and tested in schools nation wide. This paper presents the project's background and the theoretical foundations of the didactical material designed, providing also some examples. In particular, prototypical examples will show how the activities, grounded within a kinesthetic-tactile and visual-spatial approach, are designed to lead to students' interiorization of part-whole relations, and to their thinking about multiplication through structured diagrams. Qualitative data confirming effectiveness of the proposed didactical strategies will also be discussed.

description: Now-a-days, speech-based biometric systems such as automatic speaker verification (ASV) are highly prone to spoofing attacks by an imposture. With recent development in various voice conversion (VC) and speech synthesis (SS) algorithms, these spoofing attacks can pose a serious potential threat to the current state-of-the-art ASV systems. To impede such attacks and enhance the security of the ASV systems, the development of efficient anti-spoofing algorithms is essential that can differentiate synthetic or converted speech from natural or human speech. In this paper, we propose a set of novel speech features for detecting spoofing attacks. The proposed features are computed using alternative frequency-warping technique and formant-specific block transformation of filter bank log energies. We have evaluated existing and proposed features against several kinds of synthetic speech data from ASVspoof 2015 corpora. The results show that the proposed techniques outperform existing approaches for various spoofing attack detection task. The techniques investigated in this paper can also accurately classify natural and synthetic speech as equal error rates (EERs) of 0% have been achieved.

description: We illustrate how the notion of asymptotic coupling provides a flexible and intuitive framework for proving the uniqueness of invariant measures for a variety of stochastic partial differential equations whose deterministic counterpart possesses a finite number of determining modes. Examples exhibiting parabolic and hyperbolic structure are studied in detail. In the later situation we also present a simple framework for establishing the existence of invariant measures when the usual approach relying on the Krylov-Bogolyubov procedure and compactness fails.

description: This paper presents and discusses the monitoring of power quality of the first grid connected PV system in Algeria, installed in the rooftop of Centre de Développement des Énergies Renouvelables in Bouzaréah, Algiers. This work is a part of the study of increasing penetration levels of distributed grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems in Algerian electrical distribution grid. Theoretically, this will have an impact on the grid that must be considered. The increase of the PV systems in distribution grid induces the consideration of aspects related to safety, protection and power quality. The experimental measurements concerning the active power, reactive power, power factor and total harmonic distortion (current and voltage) were performed at Point of Common Coupling (PCC) of the considered PV system. Generally, this PV system has negligible impact on the local grid; nevertheless, it is a very useful platform to study the power quality in Algerian distribution grid. The measurements were presented and discussed for different days, in order to observe the power quality behavior at PCC of CDER PV system. We find that the injection of PV power decreases the total harmonic distortion (THD) current of the electrical line.

description: We discuss some of the claims that have been made regarding the statistics of fast radio bursts (FRBs). In an earlier paper \citep{2015arXiv150505535C} we conjectured that flicker noise associated with FRB repetition could show up in non-cataclysmic neutron star emission models, like supergiant pulses. We show how the current limits of repetition would be significantly weakened if their repeat rate really were non-Poissonian and had a pink or red spectrum. Repetition and its statistics have implications for observing strategy, generally favouring shallow wide-field surveys, since in the non-repeating scenario survey depth is unimportant. We also discuss the statistics of the apparent latitudinal dependence of FRBs, and offer a simple method for calculating the significance of this effect. We provide a generalized Bayesian framework for addressing this problem, which allows for direct model comparison. It is shown how the evidence for a steep latitudinal gradient of the FRB rate is less strong than initially suggested and simple explanations like increased scattering and sky temperature in the plane are sufficient to decrease the low-latitude burst rate, given current data. The reported dearth of bursts near the plane is further complicated if FRBs have non-Poissonian repetition, since in that case the event rate inferred from observation depends on observing strategy.

description: The paper investigates the real potential of oversizing DC-AC ratio (PV array peak power over inverters nominal power), analyzing advantages, drawbacks and limitations of such practice. Instead of setting commonly used semi-empirical values for this ratio considered optimal up to now, it has been analyzed the technical and economical aspects through a parametric study including sensitivity analysis on the DC-AC ratio. Thus, it has been possible to define a methodology for optimizing this ratio. The approach consisted in assessing technically and economically PV projects in various locations with different climatic conditions and/or technologies while varying the DC-AC ratio. The configurations were analyzed based on financial Key Performance Indicators (KPI) such as Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR), in order to find the optimal DC-AC ratio on a case by case basis. The method and the results lead to the development of tools giving the possibility of estimating the project specific optimal DC-AC ratio in the preliminary design phase considering the local features and the financial information available at that time.

description: The average photon energy is a useful and meaningful index which many have assumed to be unique to a given solar spectral distribution. Many contributions in literature use this factor to model the impact of the solar spectrum on thin film photovoltaic modules. However, spectral irradiance measurements needed to obtain this index have been scarcely addressed in meteorological stations worldwide. This work is mainly aimed at calculating the average photon energy by means of different methods using only astronomical and geographical parameters together with meteorological variables commonly available in meteorological databases. A novel contribution to model the average photon energy was based on an artificial neural network. A comparative study among some methods proposed by other authors or a multiple linear regression model was carried out based on the same input dataset. The results presenting a lower error between modeled and measured values of the average photon energy are obtained using the artificial neural network, with tiny discrepancies between modeled and measured values. Specifically, the mean absolute percentage error and root mean square percentage error were found to lie below 0.3% and 0.45%, respectively.

description: This article is devoted to the modeling of various components grid connected Photovoltaic (PV) installed on the site of the Centre de Développement des Energies Renouvelables in Algiers. We use the PSpice simulation software and in particular its library ABM (Analog behavioral modeling) allows the analysis of the behavior of electrical circuits using mathematical models of each component concerning and constituting photovoltaic system (solar radiation, temperature, generator, inverter and grid). The developed approach allows collecting all output electrical characteristics of the plant by introducing as input parameters a profile of the main actual weather data on the site, such as temperature and irradiance. PSpice Simulation of different mathematical models and overall model of the system will be capable of tracing a set of curves I-V and P-V to be validated by comparison and with theoretical results. The establishment of reliable electric models of the plant and their simulations by the PSpice software used to determine, for a profile of radiation and temperature of a typical day, the power available from the system and the quantity of energy injected in the grid.

description: A predictive solar radiation numerical model for the estimation of the photovoltaic power generation in the medium term is presented. This tool allows the user to predict the solar radiation as well as the photovoltaic power generation, with a given probability. The work has been applied in Gran Canaria (Canary Islands – Spain), but the model is useful for any place on earth. The terrain surface is taken into account, using 2-D adaptive meshes of triangles, which are constructed using a refinement/derefinement procedure in accordance with the variations of terrain surface and albedo. The chosen methodology defines the terrain characteristics with a minimum number of points, so that computational cost is reduced for a given accuracy. The effect of shadows is considered in each time step. The solar radiation is first computed for clear-sky conditions, considering the different components of radiation: beam, diffuse and reflected radiations. The predicted real-sky radiation is computed daily starting from the results of clear-sky radiation, in terms of the clear-sky index, which will be computed using a forecasting meteorological model as MM5, HIRLAM, etc.

description: The high penetration of renewable energies in the power system is increasing day by day, thus, sudden fluctuation of power output is prominent in the network by this non-controllable, unpredictable and weather dependent energy resources. Researchers are trying to find out solutions aimed at maintaining and controlling grid reliability. In order to study the influence of giving customers in Morocco the right of debiting energy in the distribution networks in case of overproduction, this work will help studying how to manage the bidirectional energy flow without influencing the save behavior of the grid. The goals are to balance the grid and attempt the objective of a real time optimization of energy resources with a fast and stable manner. The present research will focus specifically on the challenge of integrating solar power in distribution networks using active management techniques. These techniques are based on the use of the forecast of the whole parameters that can influence or characterize the problem and on a model describing the dynamic behavior of the system in order to optimize management decisions.

description: As solar panels are increasingly deployed at GW scale across various climatic regions, the effects of soiling on their output is becoming more acute. Add-on coating layers have been developed to prevent soiling on the outer glass layer using predominantly hydrophilic materials, however their efficacy is limited making their additional costs unjustified. Here, we demonstrate a robust dual-function anti-reflective and anti-soiling coating that is hydrophobic and self-cleaning. We validate that increasing the hydrophobicity of the glass induces increased selfcleaning under certain conditions in the lab. Nevertheless, it has been known that the effects seen in the lab do not necessarily reproduce the conditions of various outdoor climates. To test for this, we have set up over a dozen field stations across the USA. We show that the anti-soiling effect occurs in the majority of the locations and seasons. The use of site-specific functional coatings will be crucial to maximize our solar resources.

description: One fundamental assumption in statistical physics is that generic closed quantum many-body systems thermalize under their own dynamics. Recently, the emergence of many-body localized systems has questioned this concept, challenging our understanding of the connection between statistical physics and quantum mechanics. Here we report on the observation of a many-body localization transition between thermal and localized phases for bosons in a two-dimensional disordered optical lattice. With our single site resolved measurements we track the relaxation dynamics of an initially prepared out-of-equilibrium density pattern and find strong evidence for a diverging length scale when approaching the localization transition. Our experiments mark the first demonstration and in-depth characterization of many-body localization in a regime not accessible with state-of-the-art simulations on classical computers.

description: We investigate non-inertial effects induced by a rotating frame on a non-relativistic quantum harmonic oscillator as well as of the topology associated to a screw dislocation, which corresponds to a distortion of a vertical line into a vertical spiral. To do this, we obtain the analytical solutions of the time-independent Schrödinger equation for this harmonic oscillator potential in this background. The expressions for the energy spectrum are obtained and the solutions for four quantum states, namely $n=0,1,2$ and $3$, are analysed. Our results show that the presence of the topological defect (screw dislocation) as well the fact that we are analysing the system from the point of view of a rotating frame, changes the solutions of Schrödinger equation and the corresponding spectrum. Now these quantities depend on the angular velocity of the rotating frame, $Ω$, and also on the parameter $β$, which codifies the presence of the screw dislocation. Particularly, with respect to the energy spectrum of the system the changing is such that when $Ω$ increases, the energy can increase or decrease depending on the values we assign to the eigenvalues of the angular and linear momenta. Additionally, we observe that the values of the parameter $β$ that characterizes the screw dislocation causes a shift in the energy spectrum.

description: The focus of this work is to demonstrate the advantage of collecting PV-power system monitoring data with modern communication technology and the intelligent data analysis algorithms of computer science. Prediction and recognition of faults in large PV-arrays are very important for the effective operation of PV-plants. Different PVSystems are monitored with a large amount of data collected. The challenge in this work is using intelligent data analysis methods of machine learning algorithms for a fault detection in PV-plants. The focus is on partial shading recognition for a laboratory test site and industrial PV-plants. Recognition rates are calculated for laboratory PV-test site, where information on electrical and environmental data is given in high resolution and correctness and for field installations, where information is given on module voltage and string power every 10 minutes. Temperature values per module where also taken into account.
