description: Studies of marine cores provide a wealth of information that can unveil robust paleoenvironmental archives, including the provenance of sediments in which proxies such as stable isotope ratios, magnetic parameters, and grain-size distribution are regularly used. Using these proxies and others, for example, it was possible to pinpoint two different sources of sediments from core 6112-2 obtained at upper continental margin of the Rio Grande Cone off southern Brazil. My project will test the use of new proxies to assess sediment provenance from this same core by using terrigenous grain proprieties, particularly mineralogy, texture, and luminescence characteristics of grains. To determine mineralogy, optical microscopy and XRD analysis will be used in conjunction with Raman Spectrometry that will allow grain identification analysis not easily performed by the optical microscopy. This analysis includes the determination of heavy and light mineral varieties, opaque minerals, and fluid inclusions. Also, this technique will allow mineral identification in silt-sized fractions. The luminescence proprieties of grains will be analyzed using two methods. The first of them consists of thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) sensitivity of quartz grains. Recent studies have shown that this method can be applied to provenance studies. The second luminescence method will be the spectral analysis of cathodoluminescence (CL) time-series data of quartz grains. This analysis based in CL induced color using an optical microscope has been studied for some time, although its results are controversial. This subjective color-limited CL analysis approach was overcome with the advent of hyperspectral cathodoluminescence systems attached to a scanning electronic microscope. This new tool allows the measure of complete CL spectra over time and is particularly relevant for the analysis of the rapidly-changing CL signal of quartz grains, making it potentially useful for provenance analysis. My presentation will focus on the methodology of this new project, exemplified by data obtained from sediments of the Negev desert, Israel. This presentation will be given in Portuguese.

description: RESUMO A Bacia do Araripe é uma bacia intracratônica localizada na região Nordeste do Brasil, com sequências depositadas durante intervalo Ordoviciano superior / Devoniano inferior- Cretáceo superior. Dentre as sequências Mesozóicas destaca-se a Formação Santana, por sua vez depositada durante o intervalo Aptiano – Albiano, onde são reconhecidos os Membros Crato, Ipubi e Romualdo. O Membro Crato, particularmente, é composto por calcários micríticos laminados contendo grande diversidade fossilífera. Deles foram extraídos os espécimes vegetais que constituem o material de estudo da presente pesquisa, que se propôs investigar os fósseis de gimnospermas gnetaleanas, grupo bem representativo e ainda pouco estudado na flora. Atualmente, Gnetales é classificada como uma ordem de gimnospermas pouco expressiva (cerca de 70 espécies viventes); contudo, no registro da flora do Membro Crato, a ordem é relativamente comum e diversa. Nela foram já reconhecidos gêneros que se poderiam relacionar com duas das famílias de Gnetales (Ephedraceae e Welwitschiaceae), porém com morfologia distinta daquela apresentada pelos gêneros atuais. Na presente pesquisa estão sendo revisados cones (?) aff. Welwitschiostrobus, que, em uma primeira análise, foram divididos em dois novos táxons (A e B), de morfologia distinta ao holótipo descrito anteriormente (Welwitschiostrobus murilii). Também estão sendo analisados ramos reprodutivos de Ephedraceae, sendo o primeiro considerado dentro do gênero Ephedrites e o segundo dentro do gênero Liaoxia. Por fim está em análise um fóssil, somente com porção vegetativa, que poderia ter afinidade com o gênero Drewria. Em suma, a hipótese do presente estudo é que na paleoflora prevalecem as plantas produtoras de semente como gimnospermas (coniferales, cycadales e gnetales; compondo 60% da diversidade da flora) e angiospermas (compondo 30% da diversidade); e, com menor expressão, as plantas produtoras de esporos (como Equisetales, Isoetales e Filicales, correspondendo a 10% da diversidade).

description: We study the transmission through different small systems as a function of the coupling strength $v$ to the two attached leads. The leads are identical with only one propagating mode $ξ^E_C$ in each of them. Besides the conductance $G$, we calculate the phase rigidity $ρ$ of the scattering wave function $Ψ^E_C$ in the interior of the system. Most interesting results are obtained in the regime of strongly overlapping resonance states where the crossover from staying to traveling modes takes place. The crossover is characterized by collective effects. Here, the conductance is plateau-like enhanced in some energy regions of finite length while corridors with zero transmission (total reflection) appear in other energy regions. This transmission picture depends only weakly on the spectrum of the closed system. It is caused by the alignment of some resonance states of the system with the propagating modes $ξ^E_C$ in the leads. The alignment of resonance states takes place stepwise by resonance trapping, i.e. it is accompanied by the decoupling of other resonance states from the continuum of propagating modes. This process is quantitatively described by the phase rigidity $ρ$ of the scattering wave function. Averaged over energy in the considered energy window, $$ is correlated with $1-$. In the regime of strong coupling, only two short-lived resonance states survive each aligned with one of the channel wave functions $ξ^E_C$. They may be identified with traveling modes through the system. The remaining $M-2$ trapped narrow resonance states are well separated from one another.

description: As an interdisciplinary and complex task, factory planning lays the foundation for the economic efficiency of factories. Factory planning projects significantly influence the financial situation of production companies due to their high capital requirements and long lifetime. Today's inaccurate basis for decision-making in cost estimation leads to serious financial challenges in the future. Costs must be estimated with sufficient reliability to avoid misinvestments. There is currently a need for research for a holistic and systematic approach. This is partly due to the many requirements such an approach must meet. In this context, the paper aims to determine the requirements for a holistic approach to cost estimation in the early phase of factory planning projects. Based on a literature review, four key requirements for a holistic cost estimate could be identified and prepared for an approach. This includes the joint consideration of the interactions between spatial and process requirements. In addition, the early planning phase is challenging, in which little reliable information is available, but costs can still be sufficiently influenced. Furthermore, the operating costs during factory operation must be considered over and above the specific investment. With the help of various factors influencing factory design, scenarios should be generated and compared early to counter future opportunities and risks in the best possible way. These requirements can now be used for an approach to be developed that enables holistic cost estimates in the early phase of factory planning projects.

description: Human behavior in production systems influences productivity, product quality, work safety and overall process performance. To guide human behavior, digital worker assistance systems can be used to support cognitive decision tasks and sensory perception tasks. In doing so, the design of the assistance systems affects user experience and work results. To optimize and develop human-centric productions systems, data on human behavior and interaction with manufacturing equipment must be collected and analyzed. This analysis is expected to yield benefits regarding process monitoring, quality assurance, user experience and ergonomics. In addition, the results could be used for training purposes to monitor skill improvements. This paper presents a framework for data acquisition and analysis of human interaction with digital worker assistance systems. In addition to the overall system architecture, the individual development steps are discussed. An eye tracking device and a motion capturing camera are used for data collection and provide live information about human behavior in conjunction with a digital worker assistance system. The data is stored in a database and analyzed by custom analysis algorithms. The results are displayed in a dashboard application and show that the presented framework with eye tracking and motion capturing is suitable for the analysis of human interaction with worker assistance systems.

description: We show that a consistent fit to observed secondary eclipse data for several strongly irradiated transiting planets demands a temperature inversion (stratosphere) at altitude. Such a thermal inversion significantly influences the planet/star contrast ratios at the secondary eclipse,their wavelength dependences, and, importantly, the day-night flux contrast during a planetary orbit. The presence of the thermal inversion/stratosphere seems to roughly correlate with the stellar flux at the planet. Such temperature inversions might caused by an upper-atmosphere absorber whose exact nature is still uncertain

description: We consider a model with a toroidally compactified extra dimension giving rise to a temperature-dependent 4d effective potential with one-loop contributions due to the Casimir effect, along with a 5d cosmological constant. The forms of the effective potential at low and high temperatures indicates a possibility for the formation of a domain wall bubble, formed by the modulus scalar field, surrounding an evaporating black hole. This is viewed as an example of a recently proposed black hole vacuum bubble arising from matter-sourced moduli fields in the vicinity of an evaporating black hole [D. Green, E. Silverstein, and D. Starr, Phys. Rev. D74, 024004 (2006), arXiv:hep-th/0605047]. The black hole bubble can be highly opaque to lower energy particles and photons, and thereby entrap them within. For high temperature black holes, there may also be a symmetry-breaking black hole bubble of false vacuum of the type previously conjectured by Moss [I.G. Moss, Phys. Rev. D32,1333 (1985)], tending to reflect low energy particles from its wall. A double bubble composed of these two different types of bubble may form around the black hole, altering the hole's emission spectrum that reaches outside observers. Smaller mass black holes that have already evaporated away could have left vacuum bubbles behind that contribute to the dark matter.

description: We study the transverse instability and dynamics of bright soliton stripes in two-dimensional nonlocal nonlinear media. Using a multiscale perturbation method, we derive analytically the first-order correction to the soliton shape, which features an exponential growth in time -- a signature of the transverse instability. The soliton's characteristic timescale associated with its exponential growth,is found to depend on the square root of the nonlocality parameter. This, in turn, highlights the nonlocality-induced suppression of the transverse instability. Our analytical predictions are corroborated by direct numerical simulations, with the analytical results being in good agreement with the numerical ones.

title: Shaping the Goddess Inanna/Aštar: temple construction, gender and elites in early dynastic Mesopotamia (ca. 2600–2350 B.C.)
Creators: name: Palmero Fernandez, Monica
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2019

description: The goddess Inanna/Aštar is usually described as the goddess of love and war, as well as the morning and evening stars (i.e. the planet Venus). Thorkild Jacobsen famously described Sumerian Inanna as being “truly all woman and of infinite variety.” She is also associated (together with the god An) with the city of Uruk, where she is described as the patron goddess of the Eanna religious precinct from prehistoric times. The interpretation of the deity is intrinsically linked with literary compositions from the Old Babylonian period, such as Inanna’s Descent, or Iddin-Dagān A hymn. However, the evocative power of such texts tends to overshadow the analysis of the evidence that exists for the cult of the deity beyond the literary character and obscures the critical investigation of the invention of traditions as legitimising practices that can build social cohesion as well as create inequality. It is within the context of the shaping of elite identity and the onset of dynastic kingship towards the end of the Early Dynastic period that this dissertation explores, from a gender perspective, the construction of the identity and image of the goddess Inanna/Aštar. On the basis of the recontextualisation of archaeological evidence from three case studies (Mari, Aššur and Khafajah) and the analysis of commemorative practices and associated epigraphic material, this dissertation will demonstrate that, from an archaeological and textual perspective, the existing evidence does not support beyond reasonable doubt that Inanna/Aštar was worshipped in Uruk or elsewhere from prehistoric times. Instead, the flourishing of temple architecture during the Early Dynastic period suggests that such practices were the result of conscious efforts to circumscribe sacred authority in order to utilise it as a tool to reorganise social logic and eventually concentrate secular power in the figure of a male ruler. Gender dynamics are examined in order to better understand the roles that male and female individuals played within the temples dedicated to the goddess, and how said dynamics and associated ritual practices co-constructed the image and identity of the goddess in relation with the construction of the image of the king.

description: Machine learning (ML) describes the ability of algorithms to structure and interpret data independently or to learn correlations. The use of ML is steadily increasing in companies of all sizes. However, insufficient market readiness of many ML solutions inhibits their application, especially in production systems. Predictive models apply ML to understand the complex behavior of a system through regression from operational data. This enables determining the relationship between factors and target variables. Accurate predictions of these models for production systems are essential for their application, as even minor variations can significantly affect the process. This accuracy depends on the available data to train the ML model. Production data usually shows a high epistemic uncertainty, leading to inaccurate predictions unfit for real-world applications. This paper presents ML-driven, data-centric Design of Experiments (DoE) to create a process-specific dataset with low epistemic uncertainty. This leads to improved accuracy of the predictive models, ultimately making them feasible for production systems. Our approach focuses on determining epistemic uncertainty in historical data of a production system to find data points of high value to the ML model in the factor space. To identify an efficient set of experiments, we cluster these data points weighted by feature importance. We evaluate the model by running these experiments and using the collected data for further training of a prediction model. Our approach achieves a significantly higher increase in accuracy compared to continuing the training of the prediction model with the same amount of regular operating data.

Gate-controlled conductance of superconducting NbN nanowires: coherent quantum phase-slips or Coulomb blockade?

description: Coherent quantum phase slips are expected to lead to a blockade of dc conduction in sufficiently narrow superconducting nanowires below a certain critical voltage. We present measurements of NbN nanowires in which not only is a critical voltage observed, but also in which this critical voltage may be tuned using a side-gate electrode. The critical voltage varies periodically as the applied gate voltage is varied. While the observations are qualitatively as expected for quantum interference between coherent quantum phase slip elements, the period of the tuning is orders of magnitude larger than expected on the basis of simple capacitance considerations. Furthermore, two significant abrupt changes in the period of the variations during measurements of one nanowire are observed, an observation which constrains detailed explanations for the behaviour. The plausibility of an explanation assuming that the behaviour arises from granular Josephson junctions in the nanowire is also considered.

description: Analogue models of gravity have been motivated by the possibility of investigating phenomena not readily accessible in their cosmological counterparts. In this paper, we investigate the analogue of cosmological particle creation in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe by numerically simulating a Bose-Einstein condensate with a time-dependent scattering length. In particular, we focus on a two-dimensional homogeneous condensate using the classical field method via the truncated Wigner approximation. We show that for various forms of the scaling function the particle production is consistent with the underlying theory in the long wavelength limit. In this context, we further discuss the implications of modified dispersion relations that arise from the microscopic theory of a weakly interacting Bose gas.

description: The negative impacts of climate change have become more heavily pronounced since the industrial revolution, and have become especially observable at the local level, posing substantial existential risk to residents. Intersecting the negative impacts of climate change with social vulnerability is particularly important because of the intimate relationship between natural systems, the built environment, and human systems. This paper seeks to investigate Miami-Dade County with respect to sea level rise and the potential impact to the population using an environmental risk and vulnerability framework. Data on housing demographics and elevation are used to assess potential risk to Miami residents from sea level rise. The study finds that the socially disadvantaged are more likely to suffer the brunt of the effect of sea level rise due to their location in low-lying regions and limited options to deal with sea level rise. Policy actions and attention to the risk of sea level rise posed to socially vulnerable tracts are recommended.

title: Cannabidiol improves survivability, seizures and associated behavioural comorbidities in a range of animal models of epilepsy
Creators: name: Patra, Pabitra Hriday
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2019

description: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease characterised by recurrent seizures, premature mortality and several associated comorbidities such as motor disorder, anxiety, depression, social deficits and cognitive impairment. Here, the effect of cannabidiol (CBD) in three different preclinical models of epilepsy was investigated. First, the effect of 9-weeks oral CBD administration (200 mg/kg/day) on seizures, motor function, gait and cognition in a reduced intensity status epilepticus induced spontaneous recurrent seizures (RISE-SRS) rat model of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) was evaluated. Subsequently, the effect of long-term CBD administration (100 mg/kg, twice daily s.c. injections from postnatal day 8 (P8) to 25/death) on survivability and a number of welfare parameters such as natural activity, reflex/response to touch, total neonatal welfare, orbital tightening and body condition in the Scn1a-/- mouse model was investigated. Finally, the effect of chronic CBD administration (100 mg/kg, twice daily s.c. injections from P8 to 52/death) on premature mortality and comorbidities such as motor dysfunction, social deficits, anxiety, depression and cognitive impairment in the Scn1a+/- mouse model of Dravet syndrome was assessed. I demonstrated for the first time that chronic CBD treatment improved seizures, motor function and cognition without producing any adverse effect on gait in RISE-SRS rat model of TLE. Further, I showed that CBD treatment extended survivability and improved the neonatal welfare parameters in the Scn1a-/- mouse model. Moreover, I established the novel finding that chronic CBD-treatment prevented premature mortality and improved the comorbidities associated with the Scn1a+/- mouse model of Dravet syndrome. Although the anticonvulsant property of CBD has been shown in animal models of seizures, I am the first to demonstrate that CBD has disease modifying potential, and improves seizures, survivability and comorbidities associated with preclinical models of epilepsy. Notably, this project formed a core part in the development and US-FDA approval of Epidiolex® (GW Pharmaceuticals) in 2018.

description: High temperature superconductivity in cuprates arises from doping a parent Mott insulator by electrons or holes. A central issue is how the Mott gap evolves and the low-energy states emerge with doping. Here we report angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements on a cuprate parent compound by sequential in situ electron doping. The chemical potential jumps to the bottom of the upper Hubbard band upon a slight electron doping, making it possible to directly visualize the charge transfer band and the full Mott gap region. With increasing doping, the Mott gap rapidly collapses due to the spectral weight transfer from the charge transfer band to the gapped region and the induced low-energy states emerge in a wide energy range inside the Mott gap. These results provide key information on the electronic evolution in doping a Mott insulator and establish a basis for developing microscopic theories for cuprate superconductivity.

Subjects: NX Arts in general

description: The focus of the present study is on managerial organization employed for serial properties registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The research examines a specific type of cultural heritage, precisely the sites, which combine architecture and landscape design, such as princely estates, palace
and park ensembles or villas. Widely spread in Europe, they reflect upon historical past of the countries, evoking ideas of a nation state and identity. The research examines
former Imperial residences turned museums located in the suburbs of St. Petersburg. Six palace and park ensembles are included into the UNESCO World Heritage Site (WHS)
: ‘Historic Center of St. Petersburg and related groups of monuments’ [WHS №540bis]. On one hand, these estates are uniformly perceived as a whole, due to their association
with the Russian Imperial family, their uniform inscription as a serial property within a single UNESCO world heritage site and a brand of ‘the Golden/Emerald/Green Necklace/Ring
of St. Petersburg’. On the other hand, disproportionate differences in administration, territorial subordination, state of conservation, services and offers,
promotion and visibility demonstrate the residence museums to be separate parts of a disintegrated system. Consequently, the research aims to analyse the model
of St. Petersburg suburban residence museums’ in its functioning, taking into consideration multiple aspects, such as legal status, administration, management,
visitors, services, etc. Accordingly, to provide a comprehensive study of the St. Petersburg model and to examine some of its components in depth, an extensive
analysis of relevant European practices is implemented. The examples selected in Germany and Italy comprise: Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin [WHS N. 532ter, 1990], Residences of Ludwig II in Bavaria (nomination resubmitted);
The Residences of the Royal House of Savoy [WHS N.23bis, 1997], Medici Villas and Gardens in Tuscany [WHS N.175, 2013].

Design and Implementation of Certificateless Cryptography for IoT Applications

Publisher: name: Singapore Institute of Technology
Year: 2023

description: This work introduces a cryptographic module for IoT devices that addresses the security vulnerabilities that come with their widespread adoption. Four core cryptographic mod- ules are implemented, including data confidentiality, message integrity, authentication, and secure communication channels. Specifically, the SHA-256 hashing and AES128-CBC/GCM cipher modules are very efficient, with an execution time of just a few μs. For the key exchange functionality, we opted to leverage Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and, in particular, the BLS12-381 curve, because it enables the implementation of certificateless public-key cryptography. We demonstrate the performance of the Hash to Curve and pairing operations that are required by both the BLS12-381 digital signature scheme and the session key agreement protocol. The pairing operation consists of two main steps, namely, the Miller loop and the final exponentiation. On a 10 MHz clock frequency (simulated in FPGA), a pairing operation between two elliptic curve points takes around 3.68s to complete. Under the BLS12-381 digital signature scheme, the module for signing messages takes 0.76s, while the module for verifying signatures takes 7.35s. Finally, we identified that the parallel point-scalar multiplication technique was the most efficient, and the module for generating a session key on an IoT node takes around 4.03s. To summarize, this paper highlights the importance of addressing the security risks associated with IoT devices and presents a low-cost implementation of hardware- based cryptography for achieving robust security.
title: Perceptions on the effectiveness of teacher appraisal: a case study of two-state funded academies

description: The aim of this investigation was to explore the effectiveness of appraisal within two state-funded secondary schools by comparing the perceptions of appraisal leads to that of teachers. The reason for a study of this nature arises from the researcher’s own experience of appraisal within a diverse range of school contexts, which has subsequently led to a feeling that schools are not benefitting from appraisal as they should. The researcher also believes that this study is uniquely placed amongst other studies on appraisal because of its ability to capture and systematically compare the perceptions of appraisal from the vantage point of teachers and those who have responsibility for its implementation. The literature review describes why and when appraisal was introduced in schools and identifies its presumed two-fold purpose: teacher accountability and teacher development. This investigation illustrates the prevalent nature of accountability within appraisal, a description of the sources of information used to assess teacher performance and its reliability. What follows is a discussion around the impact of appraisal and suggestions about adding value to the process. The conceptual framework in Chapter 3 explores appraisal, and particularly accountability, within a neoliberal perspective, and investigates issues of trust and identity. Nine teachers were interviewed alongside two who lead on appraisal. In addition, 16 teachers across both schools completed a questionnaire which provided important supplementary information despite the low return rate. The main findings from the data highlighted a disparity between how those with responsibility for appraisal perceived the overall effectiveness of appraisal compared to how teachers viewed it. Appraisal was presented in a positive light by appraisal leads, with a significant emphasis placed upon teacher development. The teachers appeared to agree that it was about development, but neither could evidence this. On the contrary, actual evidence was for accountability. The reliability of the methods and strategies that were used to evaluate teachers proved contentious with a general feeling amongst teachers that the system of appraisal was insufficient in capturing an accurate account of their performance. The lack of appraiser training and an understanding of what it should comprise of did not help. Finally, the shortage of evidence to suggest appraisal was having a positive impact calls into question how effective appraisal is in its current format

description: We present a method of selecting quasars up to redshift $\approx$ 6 with random forests, a supervised machine learning method, applied to Pan-STARRS1 and WISE data. We find that, thanks to the increasing set of known quasars we can assemble a training set that enables supervised machine learning algorithms to become a competitive alternative to other methods up to this redshift. We present a candidate set for the redshift range 4.8 to 6.3 which includes the region around z = 5.5 where quasars are difficult to select due to photometric similarity to red and brown dwarfs. We demonstrate that under our survey restrictions we can reach a high completeness ($66 \pm 7 \%$ below redshift 5.6 / $83^{+6}_{-9}\%$ above redshift 5.6) while maintaining a high selection efficiency ($78^{+10}_{-8}\%$ / $94^{+5}_{-8}\%$). Our selection efficiency is estimated via a novel method based on the different distributions of quasars and contaminants on the sky. The final catalog of 515 candidates includes 225 known quasars. We predict the candidate catalog to contain an additional $148^{+41}_{-33}$ new quasars below redshift 5.6 and $45^{+5}_{-8}$ above and make the catalog publicly available. Spectroscopic follow-up observations of 37 candidates lead us to discover 20 new high redshift quasars (18 at $4.6\le z\le5.5$, 2 $z\sim5.7$). These observations are consistent with our predictions on efficiency. We argue that random forests can lead to higher completeness because our candidate set contains a number of objects that would be rejected by common color cuts, including one of the newly discovered redshift 5.7 quasars.

description: We investigate the light-matter interaction of a quantum dot with the electromagnetic field in a lossy microcavity and calculate emission spectra for non-zero detuning and dephasing. It is found that dephasing shifts the intensity of the emission peaks for non-zero detuning. We investigate the characteristics of this intensity shifting effect and offer it as an explanation for the non-vanishing emission peaks at the cavity frequency found in recent experimental work.

description: The radio spectra of main-sequence stars remain largely unconstrained due to the lack of observational data to inform stellar atmosphere models. As such, the dominant emission mechanisms at long wavelengths, how they vary with spectral type, and how much they contribute to the expected brightness at a given radio wavelength are still relatively unknown for most spectral types. We present radio continuum observations of Altair, a rapidly rotating A-type star. We observed Altair with NOEMA in 2018 and 2019 at 1.34 mm, 2.09 mm, and 3.22 mm and with the VLA in 2019 at 6.7 mm and 9.1 mm. In the radio spectra, we see a brightness temperature minimum at millimeter wavelengths followed by a steep rise to temperatures larger than the optical photosphere, behavior that is unexpected for A-type stars. We use these data to produce the first sub-millimeter to centimeter spectrum of a rapidly rotating A-type star informed by observations. We generated both PHOENIX and KINICH-PAKAL model atmospheres and determine the KINICH-PAKAL model better reproduces Altair's radio spectrum. The synthetic spectrum shows a millimeter brightness temperature minimum followed by significant emission over that of the photosphere at centimeter wavelengths. Together, these data and models show how the radio spectrum of an A-type star can reveal the presence of a chromosphere, likely induced by rapid rotation, and that a Rayleigh Jean's extrapolation of the stellar photosphere is not an adequate representation of a star's radio spectrum.

description: We analyse hadronically quiet trilepton signatures in the T-parity conserving Littlest Higgs model and in R-parity conserving supersymmetry at the Large Hadron Collider. We identify the regions of the parameter space where such signals can reveal the presence of these new physics models above the Standard Model background and distinguish them from each other, even in a situation when the mass spectrum of the Littlest Higgs model resembles the supersymmetric pattern.

description: The demand for battery-powered electric vehicles is growing rapidly as more and more OEMs are shifting their strategy towards an all-electric vehicle fleet. The lithium-ion battery cell is considered as the core component in terms of performance, range and price of electric vehicles. Since the development of the functional principle of the lithium-ion battery, both the product and the associated production technology have evolved significantly. OEMs, start-ups, equipment suppliers and other players in the automotive industry are investing heavily in research and development of various technologies to improve both the battery as a product and its production. An essential aspect is to enable sustainable battery production. While breakthroughs in battery technology are regularly announced, the actual merits of the technologies and the potential remain uncertain until commercial deployment. The aim of this paper is to systematically identify upcoming breakthroughs and announced innovations to provide an overview of promising battery technologies that companies should focus on to enable the planning of resilient and sustainable production systems. Hence, a hype cycle assessment following Gartner was adopted as the underlying approach to evaluate battery technologies for deployment in electromobility and mass production. First, various technologies, innovations, research activities and announcements in the field of battery technologies were screened, recorded and classified in order to obtain an overview of the current state of developments on both product and production levels. This includes an overview of innovations in battery design and configuration as well as process technologies and production systems. Subsequently, these technologies are evaluated according to predefined evaluation criteria in order to enable a systematic classification of the individual technologies in the hype cycle. The result is a consolidated overview of emerging battery technologies for sustainable battery production and a display for further recommendations for relevant companies and stakeholders.
