Wind Resource Parametrisation and Power Harvesting Estimation using AWERA - the Airborne Wind Energy Resource Analysis tool
Creators: name: Thimm, Lavinia
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: airborne wind energy
wind resource

description: The open-source tool AWERA was developed for assessing the potential of airborne wind energy systems (AWES) on large geographical and temporal scales. AWERA can be used for spatial and temporal studies of the wind resource and power production potentials and means for comparing different types of AWESs. It can also be used for uncertainty quantification of the computed power production for all simulation components, from wind resources to system dynamics. AWES are characterised by a more complex power generation than conventional wind turbines. Flight operation and harvesting depend not only on the wind speed at hub height but on an extended vertical wind profile and its temporal variation. Accounting for the specific harvesting process leads to a substantially improved performance estimation. AWERA employs simplified quasi-steady force equilibrium states along the flight trajectory of the kite to estimate the power output for a given vertical wind profile. Using a principal component analysis paired with a clustering algorithm on an ensemble of measured vertical wind profiles, eight representative absolute wind profiles are identified. The harvesting characteristics are determined for the absolute clustering wind profiles, which then are used to obtain the spatial distribution of the annual energy production for Europe, significantly reducing the computing time compared to processing all samples individually. For validation, harvesting characteristics resulting from either approach are compared for various clustering representations. AWERA can include different AWES types and power production estimation models. The resulting hourly power is used to compute the annual energy production and capacity factor and to evaluate characteristics such as the downtime, which can be used to assess the potential for providing base load capacity.

description: This special issue of PSL Quarterly Review discusses the economic consequences of the Russian-Ukranian one year and a half after its outbreak. Firstly, Joseph Halevi re-assesses the conclusions drawn in the special issue published by Moneta e Credito in June 2022. Secondly, Araujo et al. point out that the EU is particularly vulnerable to external shocks since it adopts an Inflation Targeting Regime (ITR). Both Storm and Cucignatto, Fora-Alcalde and Garbellini deal with the distributive conflict triggered by inflation, while Lampa and Oro focus on the worsening of Eurozone’s external position and internal imbalances in distribution and finance. Finally, Giangrande explores the evolution of the material conditions of the working class.

description: Learning to read in heritage bilinguals is shaped by their unique bilingual experiences in the two languages. This dissertation asked, how do the variations in heritage bilinguals’ cross-linguistic language experiences influence their literacy development? Through two related studies, I explored the longitudinal relationships between bilinguals’ language skills and the neural organizations that underpin the development of phonological and morphological processing in bilingual children. In Study 1, I used longitudinal language and literacy assessment data on Spanish-English, Chinese-English bilinguals, and English monolinguals’ respective languages (N = 181, ages 5-11). The findings revealed that heritage language experience had a significant and enduring cross-linguistic effect on bilinguals’ formal schooling language (English). In Study 2, I used functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) neuroimaging data on Chinese-English bilinguals and English monolinguals (N = 119; ages 5-11). The finding revealed cross-linguistic and bilingual effects in the neural organization. Cross-linguistically, the task that best characterizes literacy success of the given orthography (phonology in English and morphology in Chinese) showed greater automaticity for the given language. The bilingual effect is reflected in less activation during a more language-universal task (phonology) and more activation in language-specific task (morphology) in bilinguals than monolinguals. Taken together, these dissertation findings provide nuanced insight into core mechanisms and neural plasticity that underlie heritage bilinguals’ literacy development.

description: Roll-to-Roll (R2R) printing technology offers high-speed and continuous processing of substrate-based products, making it attractive for various industries. However, R2R processes often suffer from lower precision compared to traditional batch processes, limiting their widespread adoption in high-precision production. This dissertation aims to develop advanced control strategies to improve the finished product quality in R2R printing systems. Solutions are developed firstly from the process-level and then to the system-level to achieve this purpose. In Chapter 2, a robust tension control scheme is proposed to ensure consistent tension levels throughout the R2R system. The control approach employs a linear parameter-varying model predictive control framework, specifically designed to handle model uncertainties and slowly-changing dynamics that can affect tension control performance. Chapter 3 introduces a constrained registration accuracy control scheme, aiming to achieve precise alignment of printed layers in R2R systems. The proposed control synthesis framework utilizes an algebraic Riccati equation and control barrier functional techniques to eliminate registration errors while maintaining system safety. This control strategy directly addresses product quality concerns and enhances the accuracy of the printing process. In Chapter 4, the focus shifts to system-level optimization through the design of deep Koopman modeling and supervisory control. The deep Koopman model learns the system dynamics and propagates quality characteristics across different stages of the R2R process. A supervisory control scheme is developed based on the learned model, enabling accurate prediction of potential quality disruptions and proactive adjustment decisions to improve overall system performance. The proposed control strategies are validated using datasets collected from real or simulated R2R production systems. Overall, this dissertation contributes to the advancement of control strategies for R2R manufacturing, providing valuable insights and tools to enhance efficiency, reliability, and enable the adaptation of R2R processes to various industrial applications.

description: A two-dimensional honeycomb lattice harbors a pair of inequivalent valleys in the k-space electronic structure, in the vicinities of the vertices of a hexagonal Brillouin zone, K}$_{\pm}$. It is particularly appealing to exploit this emergent degree of freedom of charge carriers, in what is termed "valleytronics", if charge carrier imbalance between the valleys can be achieved. The physics of valley polarization will make possible electronic devices such as valley filter and valley valve, and optoelectronic Hall devices, all very promising for next-generation electronic and optoelectronic applications. The key challenge lies with achieving valley imbalance, of which a convincing demonstration in a two-dimensional honeycomb structure remains evasive, while there are only a handful of examples for other materials. We show here, using first principles calculations, that monolayer MoS_2, a novel two-dimensional semiconductor with a 1.8 eV direct band gap, is an ideal material for valleytronics by valley- selective circular dichroism, with ensuing valley polarization and valley Hall effect.

description: This article examines the consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian war on the Italian economy, especially on inflation, wages and employment. The study shows that Italy, which in the pre-war period had not yet reabsorbed all the consequences of the 2008 crisis, with the structural weaknesses of its economy, came under renewed pressure due to the COVID-19 crisis and, afterwards, to inflation and the war. The paper indicates the need for an economic policy based on the ‘full and good employment’ strategy.

description: Let $(X, ω)$ be a compact symplectic manifold and $L$ be a Lagrangian submanifold. Suppose $(X, L)$ has a Hamiltonian $S^1$ action with moment map $μ$. Take an invariant $ω$-compatible almost complex structure, we consider tuples $(C, P, A, φ)$ where $C$ is a smooth bordered Riemann surface of fixed topological type, $P\to C$ is an $S^1$-principal bundle, $A$ is a connection on $P$ and $φ$ is a section of $P\times_{S^1} X$ satisfying $\ov\partial_A φ=0,\ ι_νF_A+ μ(φ)=c$ with boundary condition $φ(\partial C) \subset P \times_{S^1} L$. Here $F_A$ is the curvature of $A$ and $ν$ is a volume form on $C$ and $c\in i{\mb R}$ is a constant. We compactify the moduli space of isomorphism classes of such objects with energy $\leq K$, where the energy is defined to be the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional $\| F_A\|_{L^2}^2+ \| d_Aφ\|_{L^2}^2+ \| μ(φ)-c \|_{L^2}^2.$ This generalizes the compactness theorem of Mundet-Tian \cite{Mundet_Tian_2009} in the case of closed Riemann surfaces.

description: Measurement-based quantum computing (MBQC) is a model of quantum computing that proceeds by sequential measurements of individual spins in an entangled resource state. However, it remains a challenge to produce efficiently such resource states. Would it be possible to generate these states by simply cooling a quantum many-body system to its ground state? Cluster states, the canonical resource states for MBQC, do not occur naturally as unique ground states of physical systems. This inherent hurdle has led to a significant effort to identify alternative resource states that appear as ground states in spin lattices. Recently, some interesting candidates have been identified with various valence-bond-solid (VBS) states. In this review, we provide a pedagogical introduction to recent progress regarding MBQC with VBS states as possible resource states. This study has led to an interesting interdisciplinary research area at the interface of quantum information science and condensed matter physics.

description: The matching of our epoch of existence with the approximate equality of dark energy and dark matter energy densities is an apparent further fine-tuning, beyond the already troubling 120 orders of magnitude that separate dark energy from the Planck scale. In this paper I will argue that the coincidence is not a fine-tuning problem, but instead an artifact of anthropic selection. Rather than assuming measurements are equally likely in all epochs, one should insist that measurements of a quantity be typical amongst all such measurements. As a consequence, particular observations will reflect the epoch in which they are most easily made. In the specific case of cosmology, most measurements of dark energy and dark matter will done during an epoch when large numbers of linear modes are available to observers, so we should not be surprised at living at such a time. This is made precise in a particular model for the probability distribution for r=min(Omega_m/Omega_L,Omega_L/Omega_m), where it is shown that if p(r) \sim [N(r)]^b (where N(r) is the number of linear modes, and bis some arbitrary positive power), the probability that r is greater than its observed value of 0.4, is close to 1. Thus the cosmological coincidence is no longer problematic.

description: Discussions on “profit inflation” are mired in conceptual unclarities, definitional idiosyncrasies and data problems. This article attempts to bring conceptual clarity to the debate on profit inflation, defining profit inflation strictly as an increase in the gross output price that is caused by an increase in the profit mark-up (keeping all other unit cost items constant). Empirical evidence for the U.S. economy (2020-2022) shows that corporate profit mark-ups have indeed increased, raising both the aggregate profit share and the general price level. Hence, unlike in the 1970s, the recent inflationary episode is the outcome not of a wage-price spiral but of a profit mark-up-price spiral in which real wages get squeezed. However, the conflict underlying the recent surge in inflation concerns not just corporate shareholders profiteering at the cost of workers, but – importantly – also involves struggles between financial speculators (in oil and commodity markets) and the real economy.

description: Four sp3 carbon allotropes with six, eight, and 16 atoms per primitive cell have been derived using a combination of metadynamics simulations and topological scan. A chiral orthorhombic phase oC16 (C2221) was found to be harder than monoclinic M-carbon and shows excellent stability in the high-pressure range. A second orthorhombic phase of Cmmm symmetry, by \sim 0.028 eV/atom energetically lower than W-carbon, can be formed from graphite at \sim 9 GPa. In general, the mechanical response under pressure was found to depend on the structure topology, which reflects the way rings are formed from an initial graphene layer stacking.

The protection and assistance of internally displaced persons and the creation of customary international law
Creators: name: Hurst, Lauren
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Since the mid-1990s, internally displaced persons have outnumbered refugees 2 to 1 in most emergencies. These are dire statistics, but I have been encouraged by recent response developments: the African Union adopted in October of 2009 the Kampala Convention for the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Person in Africa, and the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region Pact on Security, Stability and Development, which includes the Protocol on the Protection and Assistance to Internally Displaced Persons, and which entered into force in June of 2008. These two hard law documents are based on the 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, which is considered to be a soft law document. With this foundation, my thesis seeks to examine whether these African responses to internal displacement can have an impact outside the continent’s borders through customary international law. I argue that while it is still early to determine the full influence of the Kampala Convention and the Great Lakes Protocol, these two initiatives are indeed legitimate building blocks toward a generally applicable rule of customary international law. We should anticipate growing reference to them, and to the African experience in general, as issues of internal displacement increase in regions across the globe. However, before this normative framework can become binding international law, we will likely need to see more conventionally powerful states also adopt similar Guiding Principles-based initiatives. To support this statement, I outline the hardening process of soft law and the creation process of customary international law, and find that international legal theory suggests that African leadership can indeed initiate global norm development. I also found, however, that the potential of these two African instruments could not be wholly explained by law, and thus turned to international relations’ theory for supporting analysis.

description: The return of persistent inflation in OECD countries has been the most significant macroeconomic phenomenon in recent years. This article analyses different explanations for the current inflationary dynamics, from which various policy recommendations arise. Specifically, by using a Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) model, the article investigates whether the rise in profits and profit share is the result of changes in the behaviour of firms or just the natural outcome of rising energy costs, in the case of France, Italy and Spain. Our results indicate that companies raised prices more than necessary in order to maintain their levels of profitability in each of the European economies analysed, confirming that inflation hikes were led by surging profits. This implies that the introduction or strengthening of price controls would help to rapidly bring inflation under control, protecting the purchasing power of households.

description: The analytical gradient for periodic systems is presented, for the case of metallic systems. The total energy and the free energy are computed on the Hartree-Fock or density functional level, with the wave function being expanded in terms of Gaussian type orbitals. The expression for the gradient is similar to the case of insulating systems, when no thermal broadening is applied. When the occupation of the states is according to the Fermi function, then the gradient is consistent with the gradient of the free energy. By comparing with numerical derivatives, examples demonstrate that a reasonable accuracy is achieved.

description: This article theoretically and empirically investigates the determinants of inflation in a sample of 83 countries, including countries that adopt an inflation targeting regime (ITR) and countries that do not, for the period 2000 to 2021. The hypothesis that guides the research is that the recent events or shocks in the global economy (the subprime crisis, the “Eurozone” crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic and, more recently, the war in Ukraine, among others) have resulted in supply shocks – exchange rates, food and energy – causing a rise in inflation and bringing recessive effects that may be more pronounced in ITR countries, given the greater institutional rigidity of the regime. The empirical part of the research includes an analysis of the determinants of inflation in the sample of ITR and non-ITR countries, with a focus on variables that represent supply shocks, in addition to a proxy for the existence of global conflicts, the latter being a potential contribution of the research. The main results, despite the differences between developed and developing economies, suggest that the commodity index, exchange rate variations, and global conflicts positively impacted inflation in the analyzed period.

description: Natural plant populations encounter strong pathogen pressure and defense-associated genes are known to be under selection dependent on the pressure by the pathogens. Here, we use populations of the wild tomato Solanum chilense to investigate natural resistance against Cladosporium fulvum, a well-known ascomycete pathogen of domesticated tomatoes. Host populations used are from distinct geographical origins and share a defined evolutionary history. We show that distinct populations of S. chilense differ in resistance against the pathogen. Screening for major resistance gene-mediated pathogen recognition throughout the whole species showed clear geographical differences between populations and complete loss of pathogen recognition in the south of the species range. In addition, we observed high complexity in a homologues of Cladosporium resistance (Hcr) locus, underlying the recognition of C. fulvum, in central and northern populations. Our findings show that major gene-mediated recognition specificity is diverse in a natural plant-pathosystem. We place major gene resistance in a geographical context that also defined the evolutionary history of that species. Data suggest that the underlying loci are more complex than previously anticipated, with small-scale gene recombination being possibly responsible for maintaining balanced polymorphisms in the populations that experience pathogen pressure.

description: A sub-set of microquasars exhibit high peculiar velocity with respect to the local standard of rest due to the kicks they receive when being born in supernovae. The interaction between the radio plasma released by microquasar jets from such high-velocity binaries with the ISM must lead to the production of trails and bow shocks similar to what is observed in narrow-angle tailed radio galaxies and pulsar wind nebulae. We present a set of numerical simulations of this interaction that illuminate the long term dynamical evolution and the observational properties of these microquasar bow shock nebulae and trails. We find that this interaction always produces a structure that consists of a bow shock, a trailing neck, and an expanding bubble. Using our simulations to model emission, we predict that the shock surrounding the bubble and the neck should be visible in Hα emission, the interior of the bubble should be visible in synchrotron radio emission, and only the bow shock is likely to be detectable in X-ray emission. We construct an analytic model for the evolution of the neck and bubble shape and compare this model with observations of X-ray binary SAX J1712.6-3739.

description: This dissertation examines contemporary black transgender women’s life writing in the U.S. and uses an interdisciplinary black feminist approach to transgender studies to argue that imagination is a key facet of political resistance and social transformation for these writers. By analyzing the autobiographical acts and embodied and narrative modes of self-fashioning employed by Toni Newman, Janet Mock, CeCe McDonald, and Venus Di’Khadijah Selenite, I explore their subjectivity and self-making through a matrix of narrative and embodied self-fashioning practices I call critical trans* imagination. Through understanding these writers as philosophers who construct radical black trans counternarratives and counterknowledges, this project challenges the hegemonic whiteness inherent to discussions of transgender subjectivity and the transgender memoir genre. In doing so, I illuminate the ideological narrative acts that black trans women writers rely on to sharpen their own sociopolitical consciousness and craft liberatory spaces for all black women. By examining a wide and necessary range of autobiographical acts and texts, such as traditional memoir, prison letters, and digital blogs, my dissertation generates a collage of black trans life in response to the ongoing erasure of trans women of color from dominant discourses. This project interrogates the discursive history of black trans women through an expansive approach to life writing. This study draws connections between the lived experiences of black transgender women and their strategies for imaginatively narrating those experiences through autobiographical writing, providing the basis for a dialogue about the featured writers’ foundational contributions to black feminist and transgender studies. Thus, the second-person narrative voice throughout the dissertation emerges from the dialogic relationship between the black trans women engaged here—from scholars to authors to my own critical voice. I contend that embodied and narrative self-fashioning practices, combined with political consciousness-raising, is a critical form of radical creative praxis for audiences invested in black and trans liberation. Ultimately, this project advances blacktransfeminist thought in transgender studies and cultural studies through investigation of the black trans femme figure in the U.S.
Analyzing Access and Equity in Primary Education: Addressing Rising Dropout Rates Among Malawian Learners
Creators: name: Nyoni, Precious
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: With an emphasis on tackling the alarming increase in dropout rates among Malawian students, this study tackles the vital concerns of fairness and accessibility in Malawian elementary education. The study uses a qualitative method to clarify the opinions and experiences of significant stakeholders and to expose the complex interplay of factors that contribute to this pervasive challenge. Focus groups and in-depth interviews were used to collect qualitative data from a range of participant groups, including students, teachers, parents, and education officials. With the use of these methods, the complexity of the problem was examined, and a thorough understanding of the challenges Malawian primary education faced was produced. According to the study's findings, the rising dropout rates are the result of a complicated web of circumstances. Due to the significant challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students in their educational endeavours, the subject of socioeconomic disparities has gained significant importance. There were also obvious gender differences, with early marriages and teenage pregnancies typically having an excessively negative effect on females. The opinions and firsthand accounts of Malawian students provided valuable insights into the challenges they encounter when trying to get into and stay in school. Firsthand narratives brightened the difficulties that learners encounter, including risky and lengthy travels to school as well as inadequate facilities and educational resources. The study evaluated the effectiveness of government initiatives and programs created to lessen the dropout pandemic.

description: We report on the structural, electrical and magnetic properties of ZnCoO thin films grown by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) method using reactive organic precursors of zinc and cobalt. As a zinc precursor we applied either dimethylzinc or diethylzinc and cobalt (II) acetyloacetonate as a cobalt precursor. The use of these precursors allowed us the significant reduction of a growth temperature to 300oC and below, which proved to be very important for the growth of uniform films of ZnCoO. Structural, electrical and magnetic properties of the obtained ZnCoO layers will be discussed based on the results of SIMS, SEM, EDS, XRD, AFM, Hall effect and SQUID investigations.

description: La dendrochronologie, méthode de datation qui étudie la variation des largeurs de cernes de croissance des arbres, est habituellement utilisée en archéologie pour obtenir une datation absolue. Le dialogue et le partage de données entre les différents acteurs de la discipline sont nécessaires afin de fiabiliser les résultats. L’analyse des bois archéologiques ne se limite toutefois pas à cette seule datation et de nouvelles approches voient le jour permettant l’émergence de nouveaux champs de recherche et le comblement des espaces et des chronologies encore lacunaires. Dans ce contexte, la dendrochronologie contribue à une meilleure compréhension des pratiques sylvicoles et de l’état des forêts, mais aussi à leur localisation dans des espaces peu ou fortement anthropisés. La sélection des arbres, les exploitations forestières et leur évolution au cours du temps ainsi que la provenance des bois, sont autant d’informations qui peuvent être mises en perspective entre un site archéologique et son environnement. Plus spécifiquement, cet article a pour objectif de présenter ces nouvelles approches dendrochronologiques et leurs enjeux dans le cadre de l’archéologie.
description: Dendrochronology, a dating method that studies the variation in the tree-rings width, is usually used in archaeology to obtain an absolute dating. Dialogue and the sharing of data between the different actors of the discipline are necessary in order to make the results reliable. However, archaeological woods analyses is not limited to dating and new approaches are emerging, allowing new fields of research and filling space and chronologies. In this context, dendrochronology contributes to a better understanding of silvicultural practices and the state of forests, but also to their location in areas with little or no human presence. The tree selection, forestry operations and their evolution over time, as well as the provenance of woods, are all information that can be put into perspective between an archaeological site and its environment. More specifically, the aim of this article is to present these new dendrochronological approaches and their stakes in the framework of archaeology.
Radio Imaging of the NGC 1333 IRAS 4B Region

description: The NGC 1333 IRAS 4B region was observed in the 6.9 mm and 1.3 cm continuum with an angular resolution of about 0.4 arcseconds. IRAS 4BI was detected in both bands, and BII was detected in the 6.9 mm continuum only. The 1.3 cm source of BI seems to be a disk-like flattened structure with a size of about 50 AU. IRAS 4BI does not show any sign of multiplicity. Examinations of archival infrared images show that the dominating emission feature in this region is a bright peak in the southern outflow driven by BI, corresponding to the molecular hydrogen emission source HL 9a. Both BI and BII are undetectable in the mid-IR bands. The upper limit on the far-IR flux of IRAS 4BII suggests that it may be a very low luminosity young stellar object.

description: The higher-derivative theories with degenerate frequencies exhibit BRST symmetry (O. Rivelles, Phys. Lett. B577 (2003), 147). In the present paper meaning of BRST invariance condition is analyzed. The BRST symmetry is related to nondiagonalizability of the Hamiltonian and it is shown that BRST condition singles out the subspace spanned by proper eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian.

description: We introduce oscillatory analogues of fractional Brownian motion, sub-fractional Brownian motion and other related long range dependent Gaussian processes, we discuss their properties, and we show how they arise from particle systems with or without branching and with different types of initial conditions, where the individual particle motion is the so-called c-random walk on a hierarchical group. The oscillations are caused by the discrete and ultrametric structure of the hierarchical group, and they become slower as time tends to infinity and faster as time approaches zero. We also give other results to provide an overall picture of the behavior of this kind of systems, emphasizing the new phenomena that are caused by the ultrametric structure as compared with results for analogous models on Euclidean space.

description: Excerpts from the report: Lines of trucks waiting to unload grain at country elevators were a familiar sight in grain-producing areas 40 years ago. Waiting lines are still common at harvesttime in the Hard Winter Wheat area. How long each truck waits at the elevator depends on a number of factors -- how many trucks arrive during the day, the handling capacity of the elevator, the time interval between truck arrivals, and efficiency of receiving operations at the elevator. The study reported here is concerned with speeding up receiving operations at the elevator. This study was made to appraise methods, labor, layouts, and equipment used in receiving grain at concrete country elevators and to find ways to speed up receiving while maintaining economy of operation. The observed methods of receiving described in this report were the most efficient noted during the field studies.
