description: We report on a systematic investigation of the cold and mildly ionized gaseous baryonic metal components of our Galaxy, through the analysis of high resolution Chandra and XMM-Newton spectra of two samples of Galactic and extragalactic sources. The comparison between lines of sight towards sources located in the disk of our Galaxy and extragalactic sources, allows us for the first time to clearly distinguish between gaseous metal components in the disk and halo of our Galaxy. We find that a Warm Ionized Metal Medium (WIMM) permeates a large volume above and below the Galaxy's disk, perhaps up to the Circum-Galactic space (CGM). This halo-WIMM imprints virtually the totality of the OI and OII absorption seen in the spectra of our extragalactic targets, has a temperature of T(Halo-WIMM)=2900 +/- 900 K, a density (Halo-WIMM) = 0.023 +/- 0.009 cm-3 and a metallicity Z(Halo-WIMM) = (0.4 +/- 0.1) Z_Solar. Consistently with previous works, we also confirm that the disk of the Galaxy contains at least two distinct gaseous metal components, one cold and neutral (the CNMM: Cold Neutral Metal Medium) and one warm and mildly ionized, with the same temperature of the Halo-WIMM, but higher density ((Disk-WIMM) = 0.09 +/- 0.03 cm-3) and metallicity (Z(Disk-WIMM) = 0.8 +/- 0.1$ Z_Solar). By adopting a simple disk+sphere geometry for the Galaxy, we estimates masses of the CNMM and the total (disk + halo) WIMM of M(CNMM)

description: Observation of robust superconductivity in some of the iron based superconductors in the vicinity of a Lifshitz point where a spin density wave instability is suppressed as the {hole} band drops below the Fermi energy raise questions for spin-fluctuation theories. Here we discuss spin-fluctuation pairing for a bilayer Hubbard model, which goes through such a Lifshitz transition. We find s$_\pm$ pairing with a transition temperature that peaks beyond the Lifshitz point and a gap function that has essentially the same magnitude but opposite sign on the incipient hole band as it does on the electron band that has a Fermi surface.

description: Photoelectron emission is crucial to electric charging of dust particles around main-sequence stars and gas heating in various dusty environments. An estimate of the photoelectric processes contains an ill-defined parameter called the photoelectric quantum yield, which is the total number of electrons ejected from a dust particle per absorbed photon. Here we revisit the so-called small particle effect of photoelectron emission and provide an analytical model to estimate photoelectric quantum yields of small dust particles in sizes down to nanometers. We show that the small particle effect elevates the photoelectric quantum yields of nanoparticles up to by a factor of $10^3$ for carbon, water ice, and organics, and a factor of $10^2$ for silicate, silicon carbide, and iron. We conclude the surface curvature of the particles is a quantity of great importance to the small particle effect, unless the particles are submicrometers in radius or larger.

description: At the Austrian Institute of Technology a comprehensive, current overview of the BIPV market was
created. It shows, that despite a very well developed industry the share of BIPV is very low with about 2% of the
overall PV-installations. However about 85% of all PV-systems in Austria are installed on buildings. But the majority
of all systems are roof top or roof parallel installations. The suitable area on roofs and facades, which could be used
to install Photovoltaics is about 230 km2 according to the Austrian PV-Roadmap [1], while the needed area to achieve
a share of 27% on the energy demand is about 170 km2. This means, that the biggest part of suitable and well
solarized roofs and facades will be used for solar electricity production in the future. To achieve at the same time an
ecologic and aesthetic building stock it will be obligatory, not to install highly Aluminium consuming, roof top
structures with todays standard modules, which are – in the building context - often ugly, at the same time, but to
change today’s roof top share of PV-installations into beautiful, adapted, architecturally highly valuable and accepted

description: Self-gravity plays an important role in the evolution of rotationally supported systems such as protoplanetary disks, accretion disks around black holes, or galactic disks, as it can both feed turbulence or lead to gravitational fragmentation. While such systems can be studied in the shearing box approximation with high local resolution, the large density contrasts that are possible in the case of fragmentation still limit the utility of Eulerian codes with constant spatial resolution. In this paper, we present a novel self-gravity solver for the shearing box based on the TreePM method of the moving-mesh code AREPO. The spatial gravitational resolution is adaptive which is important to make full use of the quasi-Lagrangian hydrodynamical resolution of the code. We apply our new implementation to two- and three-dimensional, self-gravitating disks combined with a simple $β$-cooling prescription. For weak cooling we find a steady, gravito-turbulent state, while for strong cooling the formation of fragments is inevitable. To reach convergence for the critical cooling efficiency above which fragmentation occurs, we require a smoothing of the gravitational force in the two dimensional case that mimics the stratification of the three-dimensional simulations. The critical cooling efficiency we find, $β\approx 3$, as well as box-averaged quantities characterizing the gravito-turbulent state, agree well with various previous results in the literature. Interestingly, we observe stochastic fragmentation for $β> 3$, which slightly decreases the cooling efficiency required to observe fragmentation over the lifetime of a protoplanetary disk. The numerical method outlined here appears well suited to study the problem of galactic disks as well as magnetized, self-gravitating disks.

description: How galaxies form, assemble, and cease their star-formation is a central question within the modern landscape of galaxy evolution studies. These processes are indelibly imprinted on the galaxy stellar mass function (SMF). We present constraints on the shape and evolution of the SMF, the quiescent galaxy fraction, and the cosmic stellar mass density across 90% of the history of the Universe from $z=7.5\rightarrow0.2$ via the COSMOS survey. Now with deeper and more homogeneous near-infrared coverage exploited by the COSMOS2020 catalog, we leverage the large 1.27 deg$^{2}$ effective area to improve sample statistics and understand cosmic variance particularly for rare, massive galaxies and push to higher redshifts with greater confidence and mass completeness than previous studies. We divide the total stellar mass function into star-forming and quiescent sub-samples through $NUVrJ$ color-color selection. Measurements are then fitted with Schechter functions to infer the intrinsic SMF, the evolution of its key parameters, and the cosmic stellar mass density out to $z=7.5$. We find a smooth, monotonic evolution in the galaxy SMF since $z=7.5$, in agreement with previous studies. The number density of star-forming systems seems to have undergone remarkably consistent growth spanning four decades in stellar mass from $z=7.5\rightarrow2$ whereupon high-mass systems become predominantly quiescent (i.e. downsizing). An excess of massive systems at $z\sim2.5-5.5$ with strikingly red colors, some newly identified, increase the observed number densities to the point where the SMF cannot be reconciled with a Schechter function. Systematics including cosmic variance and/or AGN contamination are unlikely to fully explain this excess, and so we speculate that there may be contributions from dust-obscured objects similar to those found in FIR surveys.

description: Despite the considerable increase of grid-connected photovoltaic systems’ (GCPVS) applications in Brazil, since the publication, in 2012, of Normative Resolution number 482, that regulates the grid-connection of micro and mini distributed generation systems, economic issues are still the main obstacle to the faster dissemination of GCPVS installations in the country. In this context the present paper analyses the discounted payback period of GCPVS installed in the whole country, considering the variation of the electricity tariffs applied by the Brazilian utilities and the installation’s investment costs. The study is applied to residential and commercial small-scale PV systems, connected to low voltage grids, and is accomplished with the aid of a software developed by the authors. The analysis considers the reality of the 27 Brazilian states, including Distrito Federal, the country´s capital, selecting the main utility of each state. The results indicate a strong dependence of the system’s economic feasibility on the electricity tariffs applied and on the investment costs, varying from an unfeasible situation to a payback period of less than 5 years, which is very positive considering the present scenario. The results also make possible a construction of a GCPVS economic feasibility Brazilian map and a three-dimensional graph, indicating the states and the conditions that present the best economic scenarios for the installation of GCPVS.

description: The mass adoption of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) requires the deployment of public charging stations. Such facilities are expected to employ distributed generation and storage units to reduce the stress on the grid and boost sustainable transportation. While prior work has made considerable progress in deriving insights for understanding the adverse impacts of PEV chargings and how to alleviate them, a critical issue that affects the accuracy is the lack of real world PEV data. As the dynamics and pertinent design of such charging stations heavily depend on actual customer demand profile, in this paper we present and evaluate the data obtained from a $17$ node charging network equipped with Level $2$ chargers at a major North American University campus. The data is recorded for $166$ weeks starting from late $2011$. The result indicates that the majority of the customers use charging lots to extend their driving ranges. Also, the demand profile shows that there is a tremendous opportunity to employ solar generation to fuel the vehicles as there is a correlation between the peak customer demand and solar irradiation. Also, we provided a more detailed data analysis and show how to use this information in designing future sustainable charging facilities.

description: The CHAMP magnetic field variations during international quiet days of low solar activity period 2008-2009 are investigated. The present paper reports the existence of frequency-peaks < 20 mHz in the compressional component of the magnetic field in almost all CHAMP passes. The magnetic field variations associated with these frequencies have amplitude of a few tens of nT during daytime. The geomagnetic activity and interplanetary magnetic field parameters were observed to be low during the period of study. The spectral powers of the observed frequencies show no dependence on solar wind velocity and cone angle; hence the reported frequencies are not related to the geomagnetic pulsations. For frequency-peaks <15 mHz, strong local-time dependence is observed with maximum power near noon and minimum at night. The longitudinal and seasonal variations of the powers of these frequency-peaks match well with those of the equator-to-middle latitude ionospheric currents derived by the earlier studies. As a polar Low-Earth-Orbiting (LEO) satellite spans the entire range of latitudes within few minutes, it monitors the geomagnetic field variations caused by the quiet-time ionospheric currents flowing at different latitudes. This can result in certain frequencies in the magnetic field recorded by LEO satellites. We demonstrate that the frequencies <10mHz are mainly due to the latitudinal structure of the equatorial electrojet. The observed frequencies in CHAMP data are therefore attributed to the latitudinal structures of the ionospheric currents that are monitored only by the polar LEO satellites and are found to alter the observations of geomagnetic pulsations (Pc4-5 and Pi2) significantly.

description: The changing medicolegal landscape invites a carpe diem review of existing medical education. To promote learning of commonly encountered medicolegal concepts in clinical practice through a safe and interactive learning environment, we propose a unique experiential and gamified educational curriculum integrating an escape room and a flipped classroom concept.

 A pilot study was conducted with 25 fourth-year undergraduate medical students grouped into 6 teams from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore. Key medicolegal concepts involved included topics on mental capacity, consent-taking and doctor-patient communication. Before attempting the escape room, they were given pre-reading materials and encouraged to watch short video clips on the topics.

 Various tasks were played out in the escape room through a modified patient journey, such as problem-solving, observing doctor-patient consultations and reviewing case notes. Students would be expected to apply what they had learnt to give an account and evaluation of their observations throughout the patient journey. The activity would conclude with a session debrief when students were invited to share their reflection and learning experience. Pre- and post-activity questionnaires were administered to assess outcome parameters.

 Feedback had been overwhelmingly positive, for example: 90.9% of participants now better understood the medicolegal concepts taught. Compared to other learning modalities, over 91% of participants ranked the escape room as their most preferred method of learning about medicolegal concepts, and would recommend the escape room as a learning activity. 96% of participants were more motivated to learn more about medicolegal concepts. Post-activity knowledge score was high at 11 out of 15 marks. An overwhelming majority (92%) also agreed that a team-based participation in the escape room had enhanced their learning.

 Through the promotion of critical thinking and collaborative learning, participants had found it to be an overall novel experience which brought alive important and relevant medicolegal concepts, the experience of which had enhanced learning as compared to traditional means of teaching and learning.

 The escape room can provide an effective, experiential and enjoyable mode of learning and teaching medicolegal concepts among medical students. Application of its concept in other aspects of medical education may be further explored.

description: We present a simple route to circumvent kinetic traps which affect many types of DNA nanostructures in their self-assembly process. Using this method, a new 2D DNA lattice made up of short, single-stranded tile (SST) motifs was created. Previously, the growth of SST DNA assemblies was restricted to 1D (tubes and ribbons) or finite-sized 2D (molecular canvases). By utilizing the substrate-assisted growth method, sets of SSTs were designed as unit cells to self-assemble into periodic and aperiodic 2D lattices which continuously grow both along and orthogonal to the helical axis. Notably, large-scale ($\sim 1$ $μ$m$^2$) fully periodic 2D lattices were fabricated using a minimum of just 2 strand species. Furthermore, the ability to create 2D lattices from a few motifs enables certain rules to be encoded into these SSTs to carry out algorithmic self-assembly. A set of these motifs were designed to execute simple 1-input 1-output COPY and NOT algorithms, the space-time manifestations which were aperiodic 2D algorithmic SST lattices. The methodology presented here can be straightforwardly applied to other motifs which fall into this type of kinetic trap to create novel DNA crystals.

description: In Austria multiple dwellings have hardly been used for the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants. The aim of the project PV4residents (call “Stadt der Zukunft” of the Austrian Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology, project no. 850126) is to enable a higher application of them on such buildings by addressing a prosumer approach. The produced electricity will be consumed to a large share by the residents and not fully fed into the grid, unburdening the grids and bringing possible economic benefits to the residents. This requires a new business model. The legal form of a cooperative society – already applied in Germany - will be examined also for Austria with a different legal framework. Home building companies in Graz and Salzburg, residents of two multiple dwellings, an electricity provider, and other stakeholders participate in the project. Technical options, as well as legal, administrative and user related barriers will be investigated and an economic assessment will be carried out. On the basis of this information the service and business model is currently under development. The project started in November 2015 and will be finalized by the end of this year.

description: Investment decisions for buildings made today largely determine their environmental impacts over many future decades due to their long lifetimes. Such decisions involve a trade-off between additional investments today and potential savings during use and at end of life - in terms of economic costs, primary energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is suited to identify measures and action to increase the resource efficiency and the environmental performance of buildings and construction. This paper gives an overview of an ongoing international research project within the IEA EBC with the overall aim to harmonise LCA approaches on buildings and foster life cycle thinking in the real estate and construction sectors. The objectives of the project are i) to establish a common methodology guideline to assess the life cycle based environmental impacts caused by buildings, ii) to establish methods for the development of specific environmental benchmarks for different types of buildings, iii) to derive regionally differentiated guidelines and tools for the use of LCA in building design and tools such as BIM, and iv) to improve data availability by developing national or regional databases with regionally differentiated LCA data tailored to the construction sector. To ensure practical solutions a number of case studies will be used to test and illustrate the consensus approaches and research issues.

description: Four-dimensional gravity in the presence of a dilatonic scalar field and an Abelian gauge field is considered. This theory corresponds to the bosonic sector of a Kaluza-Klein dimensional reduction of eleven-dimensional supergravity which induces a determined self-interacting potential for the scalar field. We compute the conserved charges and carry out the thermodynamics of an anti-de Sitter (AdS) dyonic black hole solution recently proposed. The charges coming from symmetries of the action are computed by using the Regge-Teitelboim Hamiltonian approach. These correspond to the mass, which acquires contributions from the scalar field, and the electric charge. Integrability conditions are introduced because the scalar field leads to non-integrable terms in the variation of the mass. These conditions are generically solved by introducing boundary conditions that arbitrarily relates the leading and subleading terms of the scalar field fall-off. The Hamiltonian Euclidean action, computed in the grand canonical ensemble, is obtained by demanding the action to attain an extremum. Its value is given by a radial boundary term plus an additional polar angle boundary term due to the presence of a magnetic monopole. Remarkably, the magnetic charge can be identified from the variation of the additional polar angle boundary term, confirming that the first law of black hole thermodynamics is a consequence of having a well-defined and finite Hamiltonian action principle, even if the charge does not come from a symmetry of the action. The temperature and electrostatic potential are determined demanding regularity on the black hole solution, whereas the value of the magnetic potential is already identified in the variation of the additional polar angle boundary term. Consequently, the first law of black hole thermodynamics is identically satisfied by construction.

description: A technology roadmap serves as a basis for strategic planning and decision-making by providing an in-depth analysis of the progress and milestones of technologies and changing market trends and by identifying actions and time frames to achieve higher performance, greater market penetration, and overall technology improvement. Another beneficial tool for a better technology assessment is the technology readiness level (TRL) system indicating the maturity of a technology in its developing stages. Our approach was to analyze the mentioned PV roadmaps' contents and introduce the existing TRLs. After analyzing the roadmaps, we emphasize on the International technology roadmap for photovoltaics (ITRPV) as our roadmap of choice, since 93% of it focused on technology projections. We propose a way to list technology roadmap topics, research and development fields and PV technology by using the ITRPV structure and content. The idea of combining the TRL concept to PV technologies is introduced supporting the introduction of a standardized “keyword”. This keyword takes the form “{Topic}-{R&D Field}-{PV technology}-TRL{XX}”. In this paper a method is suggested to propose independent parameters affecting TRL for each of the materials, processes and products. In turn these parameters have threshold values for each TRL, thus allowing a quantitative way to assign TRLs. The effort to have a structured common keyword system for all entities and persons in photovoltaics research and development aims to contribute in the innovation management of PV.

description: We suggest a simple method to engineer a tight-binding quantum network based on proper coupling to an auxiliary non-Hermitian cluster. In particular, it is shown that effective complex non-Hermitian hopping rates can be realized with only complex on-site energies in the network. Three applications of the Hamiltonian engineering method are presented: the synthesis of a nearly transparent defect in an Hermitian linear lattice; the realization of the Fano-Anderson model with complex coupling; and the synthesis of a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric tight-binding lattice with a bound state in the continuum.

description: The global energy system has to be transformed towards high levels of sustainability for executing the COP21 agreement. Solar PV offers excellent characteristics to play a major role for this energy transition. Key objective of this work is to investigate the role of PV for the global energy transition based on respective scenarios and a newly introduced energy transition model developed by the authors at the Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT). The available energy transition scenarios have no consensus view on the future role of PV, but a progressive group of scenarios present results of a fast growth of installed PV capacities and a high energy supply share of solar energy to the total primary energy demand in the world in the decades to come. These progressive energy transition scenarios can be confirmed by the LUT Energy system model. The model derives total installed solar PV capacity requirements of 7.1 – 9.1 TWp for today’s electricity sector and 27.4 TWp for the entire energy system in the mid-term (year 2030 assumptions set as reference). The long-term capacity is expected to be 42 TWp and due to the ongoing cost reduction of PV and battery technologies, this value is found to be the lower limit for the installed capacities. The cost reductions are taken into account for the year 2030, but are expected to further proceed beyond this reference year. Solar PV electricity is expected to be the largest, least cost and most relevant source of energy in the mid- to long-term for the global energy supply.

description: To maximize the value of vaccine safety data in clinical trials given their relatively limited sample size, it is essential to standardize their collection, presentation and analysis when possible. Given serious adverse events following immunization (AEFIs) are fortuitously rare, this need for globally accepted standard case definitions that allow for valid comparisons extend to individual case reports, surveillance systems, and retrospective epidemiologic studies. This need for standardization was recognized by Dr. Robert Chen at a vaccine conference in Brighton, England in 1999. Harald Heijbel, Ulrich Heininger, Tom Jefferson, and Elisabeth Loupi joined his call one year later to launch the Brighton Collaboration as an international voluntary organization, now with more than 750 scientific experts. It aims to facilitate the development, evaluation and dissemination of high-quality information about the safety of human vaccines. The goals of the Brighton Collaboration in the domain of case definitions have been to: 1. Develop standardized case definitions for specific AEFI’s. 2. Prepare guidelines for their data collection, analysis and presentation for global use. 3. Develop and implement study protocols for evaluation of case definitions and guidelines in clinical trials and surveillance systems. 4. Raise global awareness of their availability and to educate about their benefit, monitor their global use, and facilitate access. Safety monitoring during clinical trials is a crucial component for vaccine development. Before a vaccine can receive regulatory approval for marketing, rigorous safety monitoring and reporting is required. In the CEPI funded vaccine development programs, the CEPI funded developers are the sponsors and responsible for safety monitoring of their products and have the responsibility to comply with regulatory requirements. Since CEPI funds several developers that develop vaccines for the same target, using different vaccines and platforms, harmonization of safety monitoring is essential to allow for meaningful analysis and interpretation of the safety profiles of CEPI funded vaccines. CEPI has contracted with the Brighton Collaboration, through the Task Force for Global Health, to harmonize the safety assessment of CEPI-funded vaccines via its Safety Platform for Emergency vACcines(SPEAC) Project. As part of its landscape analysis of Chikungunya, this document describes the methods and results SPEAC used to arrive at the list of adverse events of special interest (AESI).

description: Previous studies have shown that the total electricity demand retreated by PV production is well correlated to the prices, following an exponential curve (R² around 69%) and the Merit Order Price is quite dependent on the particular electricity demand profile. Since 2011, the penetration rate of PV is also a significant explanatory variable, suggesting that PV could be replacing base load capacity. Ultimately it has been observed that the negative pressure of PV production on wholesale prices is well reflected in Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland and Italy (GAFSI). The objective of this study is to quantify the impact on the wholesale electricity prices at GAFSI level that would be achieved by adding de-centralized storage capability to the PV capacity and shifting the use of centralized storage (e.g. pump-hydro storage) to benefit from the merit order effect. This study has three main findings: firstly, without storage, the cumulative gain of having PV capacity over the past 10 years is around EUR 31 bn for the whole GAFSI region and the average wholesale prices would have been 4 % higher had there not been any PV; secondly, combining PV with decentralized storage system does not currently contribute positively on the aggregate metrics, though in 2014 and 2015 small increases in the merit order effect were observed suggesting that some optimization may be possible; thirdly, where the centralized storage is used in conjunction with PV, the aggregate gain increases to EUR 33 bn (with a storage capacity of 25 GW).

description: Precise control is an essential and elusive quality of emerging self-driving microscopes. It is widely understood these instruments must be capable of performing rapid, high-volume, and arbitrary movements for practical self-driving operation. However, stage movements are difficult to automate at scale, owing to mechanical instability, hysteresis, and thermal drift. Such difficulties pose major barriers to intelligent microscope designs that require repeatable, precise movements. To guide design of emerging instruments, it is necessary to understand the behavior of existing designs to identify rate limiting steps for full autonomy. Here we describe a general framework to evaluate stage motion in any electron microscope. We define metrics to evaluate stage degrees of freedom, propose solutions to improve performance, and comment on fundamental limits to automated experimentation using present hardware.
