description: A smart grid delivers power around the country and has an intelligent monitoring system, which not only keeps track of all the energy coming in from diverse sources but also can detect where energy is needed through a two-way communication system that collects data about how and when consumers use power. It is safer in many ways, compared with the current one-directional power supply system that seems susceptible to either sabotage or natural disasters, including being more resistant to attack and power outages. In such an autonomic and advanced-grid environment, investing in a pilot study and knowing the nation readiness to adopt a smart grid absolves the government of complex intervention from any failure to bring Japan into the autonomic-grid environment. This paper looks closely into the concept of the Japanese government go green effort, the objective of which is to make Japan a leading nation in environmental and energy sustainability through green innovation, such as creating a low-carbon society and embracing the natural grid community. This paper paints a clearer conceptual picture of how Japan smart grid effort compares with that of the US.

title: Variables Associated with Thermal Emittance of Wall Mural Art in Richmond, Virginia
Creators: name: Kwon, Sarah

Publisher: name: Virginia Academy of Science
Year: 2020

description: The objectives of this research are to determine the factors associated with the minimum, maximum, and average thermal emittance temperatures of wall murals in Richmond, Virginia, and make recommendations for color and location of wall murals. Data for 17 parameters were collected for 64 art murals in downtown Richmond, VA from 28 June 2018 – 19 July 2018. Date, time, solar exposure duration, solar elevation, latitude, longitude, air temperature (C), lux, color, solar cardinal minutes, cardinal direction, minimum, maximum, and average surface thermal emittance temperatures of mural face were recorded for each mural. We reject the hypothesis that minimum, maximum, and average thermal emittance temperatures of wall murals do not vary significantly with temporal, spatial, physical changes, and solar factors. Maximum, minimum, and average emittance temperatures of wall mural art varied significantly with the number of minutes that solar energy directly illuminating mural art for each cardinal direction, lux, solar elevation, total diurnal exposure, maximum mural color, and percent dark colors on murals. Minimum mural wall art temperatures (30.0-37.0 C) occurred on surfaces facing East, North, Northwest, and Northeast which also had the lowest lux values (8,867-14,231); highest temperatures (44.8-49.9 C) were recorded on walls facing South, Southeast, and West, which had the highest lux values (42,517-46,000). Based on results of this study and those investigating mitigation of the urban heat island effect with building materials and coatings on walls and roofs, we recommend a study that uses a systematic approach to locating wall mural art based on specific colors, paint composition, and wall materials to guide local building authorities owners, and artists to maximize albedo. Additionally, we recommend, where possible, mural art should be painted on vertical surfaces facing North, Northeast, and Northwest where lux values and thermal gain are the lowest of all possible cardinal directions. Such locations could accommodate the use of dark colors without significantly increasing the heat load in urban communities. And finally, where mural art is being considered for building walls facing South, Southeast, Southwest and West, we recommend that artists use a palette of primarily light colors with high reflective properties to maximize albedo, and minimize use of dark colors.

description: Microplastics are pollutants of concern in waterways and oceans for their persistence and impact on aquatic life and food webs. This study demonstrates a low-cost land-based sampling method to assess the extent of microplastic pollution found in Four Mile Run, an urban stream in Northern Virginia. Microplastic particle counts in environmental and treated wastewater ranged from 0.01-0.24 particles L-1 (mean 0.08 particles L-1) and from 2 to 446 µg L-1 (mean 70 µg L-1), with fibers found to be the most common microplastic category. Treated wastewater effluent was found to be a significant source of microplastic pollution, though microplastics were also found upstream of any influence from wastewater or tide-borne materials. The sampling method proved effective for collecting and analyzing microplastic pollution, though the sample size of 100 L was deemed insufficient for reliable measurement of total mass of microplastics.

description: We report the latest results of 225 GHz atmospheric opacity measurements from two arctic sites; one on high coastal terrain near the Eureka weather station, on Ellesmere Island, Canada, and the other at the Summit Station near the peak of the Greenland icecap. This is a campaign to search for a site to deploy a new telescope for submillimeter Very Long Baseline Interferometry and THz astronomy in the northern hemisphere. Since 2011, we have obtained 3 months of winter data near Eureka, and about one year of data at the Summit Station. The results indicate that these sites offer a highly transparent atmosphere for observations in submillimeter wavelengths. The Summit Station is particularly excellent, and its zenith opacity at 225 GHz is statistically similar to the Atacama Large Milllimeter/submillimeter Array in Chile. In winter, the opacity at the Summit Station is even comparable to that observed at the South Pole.

description: It is shown that a newly derived "exact expression" for radiation of an accelerated charge in the recent literature is simply incorrect, having arisen because of a wrong relativistic transformation of the distance parameter. The ensuing claim that the newly derived expression alone that satisfies the energy conservation for the electromagnetic radiation, is based on a wrong reasoning where a proper distinction between the time during which the radiation is received and the time for emission (retarded time of the charge) was not maintained.

description: The discovery that neutrinos have finite rest mass has led to renewed interest in neutrinoless double beta decay. The development of large-scale experiments to search for neutrinoless double beta decay has increased the probability of a credible observation of the process in the near future. The reliability of calculations of the associated nuclear matrix elements is likely soon to become a critical issue. In this paper experimental techniques that access properties of the ground-state wave functions of double beta decay candidates, the occupancies of valence single- particle orbitals and pairing correlations, are summarized and the experimental data for candidate nuclei are reviewed. The results are discussed in relation to questions concerning which aspects of nuclear structure may play an important role in determining the nuclear matrix elements for neutrinoless double beta decay.

description: We study the reflection of polarized optical pulses from resonant photonic structures formed by periodic, Fibonacci, and gradient sequences of quantum wells. The form and polarization of the reflected pulse are shown to be determined by the structure design and optical length. In structures with periodic quantum well arrangement, the response to ultrashort pulse is an optical signal with a sharp rise followed by an exponential decay or Bessel beats depending on the structure length. The duration of reflected pulses non-monotonically depends on the number of quantum wells reaching the minimum for a certain structure length which corresponds to the transition from superradiant to photonic-crystalline regime. We also study the conversion of pulse polarization in the longitudinal external magnetic field which splits the exciton resonance. Comparing periodic, Fibonacci, and gradient structures we show that the latter are more efficient for the conversion from linear to circular polarization.

description: Structural and thermodynamic properties of high-density amorphous (HDA) ice have been studied by path-integral molecular dynamics simulations in the isothermal-isobaric ensemble. Interatomic interactions were modeled by using the effective q-TIP4P/F potential for flexible water. Quantum nuclear motion is found to affect several observable properties of the amorphous solid. At low temperature (T = 50 K) the molar volume of HDA ice is found to increase by 6%, and the intramolecular O--H distance rises by 1.4% due to quantum motion. Peaks in the radial distribution function of HDA ice are broadened respect to their classical expectancy. The bulk modulus, B, is found to rise linearly with the pressure, with a slope dB/dP = 7.1. Our results are compared with those derived earlier from classical and path-integral simulations of HDA ice. We discuss similarities and discrepancies with those earlier simulations.

description: Owing to its high brilliance, infrared and terahertz synchrotron radiation (IR/THz-SR) has emerged as a powerful tool for spectroscopy under extreme (i.e., technically more difficult) experimental conditions such as high pressure, high magnetic field, high spatial resolution, and a combination of these. The methodologies for pressure- and magnetic-field-dependent spectroscopy and microscopy using IR/THz-SR have advanced rapidly worldwide. By applying them in strongly correlated electron systems (SCESs), many experimental studies have been performed on their electronic structures and phonon/molecular vibration modes under extreme conditions. Here, we review the recent progress of methodologies of IR/THz-SR spectroscopy and microscopy, and the experimental results on SCESs and other systems obtained under extreme conditions.

description: The renormalization ideas of self-similar dynamics of a strongly turbulent flame front are applied to the case of a flame with realistically large thermal expansion of the burning matter. In that case a flame front is corrugated both by external turbulence and the intrinsic flame instability. The analytical formulas for the velocity of flame propagation are obtained. It is demonstrated that the flame instability is of principal importance when the integral turbulent length scale is much larger than the cut off wavelength of the instability. The developed theory is used to analyse recent experiments on turbulent flames propagating in tubes. It is demonstrated that most of the flame velocity increase measured experimentally is provided by the large scale effects like the flame instability, and not by the small-scale external turbulence.

description: Quantum fluctuations in quasi-one-dimensional superconducting channels leading to spontaneous changes of the phase of the order parameter by $2π$, alternatively called quantum phase slips (QPS), manifest themselves as the finite resistance well below the critical temperature of thin superconducting nanowires and the suppression of persistent currents in tiny superconducting nanorings. Here we report the experimental evidence that in a current-biased superconducting nanowire the same QPS process is responsible for the insulating state -- the Coulomb blockade. When exposed to RF radiation, the internal Bloch oscillations can be synchronized with the external RF drive leading to formation of quantized current steps on the I-V characteristic. The effects originate from the fundamental quantum duality of a Josephson junction and a superconducting nanowire governed by QPS -- the QPS junction (QPSJ).

description: Many reports regarding online fraud in varieties media create skepticism for conducting transactions online, especially through an open network such as the Internet, which offers no security whatsoever. Therefore, encryption technology is vitally important to support secure e-commerce on the Internet. Two well-known encryption representing symmetric and asymmetric cryptosystems as well as their applications are discussed in this paper. Encryption is a key technology to secure electronic transactions. However, there are several challenges such as crytoanalysis or code breaker as well as US export restrictions on encryption. The future threat is the development of quantum computers, which makes the existing encryption technology cripple.

description: We propose a scheme to generate metal-insulator transition in random binary layer (RBL) model, which is constructed by randomly assigning two types of layers. Based on a tight-binding Hamiltonian, the localization length is calculated for a variety of RBLs with different cross section geometries by using the transfer-matrix method. Both analytical and numerical results show that a band of extended states could appear in the RBLs and the systems behave as metals by properly tuning the model parameters, due to the existence of a completely ordered subband, leading to a metal-insulator transition in parameter space. Furthermore, the extended states are irrespective of the diagonal and off-diagonal disorder strengths. Our results can be generalized to two- and three-dimensional disordered systems with arbitrary layer structures, and may be realized in Bose-Einstein condensates.

description: Social networks existing among employees, customers or users of various IT systems have become one of the research areas of growing importance. A social network consists of nodes - social entities and edges linking pairs of nodes. In regular, one-layered social networks, two nodes - i.e. people are connected with a single edge whereas in the multi-layered social networks, there may be many links of different types for a pair of nodes. Nowadays data about people and their interactions, which exists in all social media, provides information about many different types of relationships within one network. Analysing this data one can obtain knowledge not only about the structure and characteristics of the network but also gain understanding about semantic of human relations. Are they direct or not? Do people tend to sustain single or multiple relations with a given person? What types of communication is the most important for them? Answers to these and more questions enable us to draw conclusions about semantic of human interactions. Unfortunately, most of the methods used for social network analysis (SNA) may be applied only to one-layered social networks. Thus, some new structural measures for multi-layered social networks are proposed in the paper, in particular: cross-layer clustering coefficient, cross-layer degree centrality and various versions of multi-layered degree centralities. Authors also investigated the dynamics of multi-layered neighbourhood for five different layers within the social network. The evaluation of the presented concepts on the real-world dataset is presented. The measures proposed in the paper may directly be used to various methods for collective classification, in which nodes are assigned to labels according to their structural input features.

title: Trajectory Simulation With Battery Modeling for Electric Powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Creators: name: Konuk, Ege
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Fixed wing electric powered unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has been widely adopted for the last decade in a great number of applications. One of the primary advantages to fixed wing versus multi-rotor designs is the efficiency in forward flight with best possible range and endurance capabilities. In electrically powered air vehicles range and endurance are monitored by the State-of-Charge (SOC) of the battery. To understand the capabilities of the battery, discharge experiments can be conducted in lab environments; however, sometimes the results are difficult to integrate in flight simulations.

In this thesis, a trajectory simulation is developed that can estimate an instantaneous SOC and terminal voltage of the Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) battery of a fixed wing UAV. The simulation code is generated using the traditional flight dynamics equations for a mathematical five degree of freedom (5-DOF) system in the MATLAB environment. Simplistic control relations are defined for setting the pitch angle(θ) and roll angle(𝜙) of the UAV. An AVISTAR ELITE RC model has been chosen to simulate the flight mission with the goal of future flight test validations.

Initially, battery simulation was carried out in the ODU UAV lab by discharging a 3300Mah Li-Po battery to half capacity with constant current over a range of current draw. Later, these constant current discharge curves were converted to the constant power curves which are more suitable for the battery powered aircraft applications. Simulated battery pulse discharge tests were also conducted, and battery parameters were estimated in SIMULINK for the validation of the constant power method used in the simulation. The overall results of this research demonstrate the endurance and range of the electric UAV for mission paths that include takeoff, climb/descent and turning flight phases.

description: The vast majority of known non-accreting neutron stars (NSs) are rotation-powered radio and/or gamma-ray pulsars. So far, their multiwavelength spectra have all been described satisfactorily by thermal and non-thermal continuum models, with no spectral lines. Spectral features have, however, been found in a handful of exotic NSs and thought to be a manifestation of their unique traits. Here we report the detection of absorption features in the X-ray spectrum of an ordinary rotation-powered radio pulsar, J1740+1000. Our findings bridge the gap between the spectra of pulsars and other, more exotic, NSs, suggesting that the features are more common in the NS spectra than they have been thought so far.

description: Gravitational wave bursts produced by supermassive binary black hole mergers will leave a persistent imprint on the space-time metric. Such gravitational wave memory signals are detectable by pulsar timing arrays as a glitch event that would seem to occur simultaneously for all pulsars. In this paper, we describe an initial algorithm which can be used to search for gravitational wave memory signals. We apply this algorithm to the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array data set. No significant gravitational wave memory signal is founded in the data set.

Neutron scattering studies of K$_3$H(SO$_4)_2$ and K$_3$D(SO$_4)_2$: The particle-in-a-box model for the quantum phase transition

description: In the crystal of K$_3$H(SO$_4)_2$, or K$_3$D(SO$_4)_2$, dimers (SO$_4)...$H$...$(SO$_4)$, or (SO$_4)...$D$...$(SO$_4)$, are linked by strong centrosymmetric hydrogen or deuterium bonds whose O$...$O length is $\approx 2.50$ Å. We address two open questions. (i) Are H or D sites split or not? (ii) Is there any structural counterpart to the phase transition observed for K$_3$D(SO$_4)_2$ at $T_c \approx 85.5$ K, that does not exist for K$_3$H(SO$_4)_2$. Neutron diffraction by single-crystals at cryogenic or room temperature reveals no structural transition and no resolvable splitting of H or D sites. However, the width of the probability densities suggest unresolved splitting of the wavefunctions suggesting rigid entities H$_{L1/2}-$H$_{R1/2}$ or D$_{L1/2}-$D$_{R1/2}$ whose separation lengths are $l_\mathrm{H} \approx 0.16$ Å\ or $l_\mathrm{D} \approx 0.25$ Å. The vibrational eigenstates for the center of mass of H$_{L1/2}-$H$_{R1/2}$ revealed by inelastic neutron scattering are amenable to a square-well and we suppose the same potential holds for D$_{L1/2}-$D$_{R1/2}$. In order to explain dielectric and calorimetric measurements of mixed crystals K$_3$D$_{(1-ρ)}$H$_ρ$(SO$_4)_2$ ($0 \le ρ\le 1$), we replace the classical notion of order-disorder by the quantum notion of discernible (eg D$_{L1/2}-$D$_{R1/2}$) or indiscernible (eg H$_{L1/2}-$H$_{R1/2}$) components depending on the separation length of the split wavefunction. The discernible-indiscernible isostructural transition at finite temperatures is induced by a thermal pure quantum state or at 0 K by $ρ$.

description: The models developed to describe the spectral energy distribution (SED) of blazars can be divided into leptonic or hadronic scenarios, according to the particles responsible for the high-energy component. We have developed a new stationary code which computes all the relevant leptonic and hadronic processes, permitting the study of both leptonic and hadronic scenarios in a consistent way. Interestingly, mixed lepto-hadronic scenarios (in which both components contribute to the high energy emission) naturally arise in this framework. We present the first application to the well known BL Lac object PKS 2155-304.

description: Il volume ha l’intento di fornire un’accurata disamina del diritto dei contratti della Repubblica Popolare Cinese, collocato sia nella storia del diritto cinese, sia nel più ampio panorama del sistema giuridico romanistico. Strutturato in cinque capitoli, si avvale anche di una ricchissima bibliografia in lingua cinese con l’intento di verificare e comprendere, attraverso quest’ultima e senza alcun’altra mediazione linguistica, i percorsi mentali del legislatore della RPC e della dottrina cinese.
Il primo capitolo ricostruisce il percorso storico del diritto dei contratti, la nozione di contratto, dapprima resa con qiyue poi con hetong, all’interno della tradizione giuridica cinese sino all’attuale attività di codificazione del Codice Civile Cinese.
Il secondo capitolo tratta della definizione attualmente vigente di contratto per evidenziarne i profondi nessi con le teorie contrattuali romane.
Il terzo capitolo tratta degli elementi del contratto che vengono analizzati attraverso continui rimandi alle dottrine romane concernenti temi nodali del sistema contrattuale, come ad esempio, il principio consensualistico, il rischio contrattuale e la buona fede.
Il quarto ed il quinto capitolo, a chiusura dell’intero lavoro, i temi della integrazione, interpretazione ed invalidità del contratto.
