description: Nanoparticles can influence the properties of polymer materials by a variety of mechanisms. With fullerene, carbon nanotube, and clay or graphene sheet nanocomposites in mind, we investigate how particle shape influences the melt shear viscosity $η$ and the tensile strength $τ$, which we determine via molecular dynamics simulations. Our simulations of compact (icosahedral), tube or rod-like, and sheet-like model nanoparticles indicate an order of magnitude increase in the viscosity $η$ relative to the pure melt. This finding evidently can not be explained by continuum hydrodynamics and we provide evidence that the $η$ increase in our model nanocomposites has its origin in chain bridging between the nanoparticles. We find that this increase is the largest for the rod-like nanoparticles and least for the sheet-like nanoparticles. Curiously, the enhancements of $η$ and $τ$ exhibit {\it opposite trends} with increasing chain length $N$ and with particle shape anisotropy. Evidently, the concept of bridging chains alone cannot account for the increase in $τ$ and we suggest that the deformability or flexibility of the sheet nanoparticles contributes to nanocomposite strength and toughness by reducing the relative value of the Poisson ratio of the composite. Our simulations point to a substantial contribution of nanoparticle shape to both mechanical and processing properties of polymer nanocomposites.

description: The dimensional reduction of $D$-dimensional spacetimes arising in string/M-theory, to the conformal Einstein frame, may give rise to cosmologies with accelerated expansion. Through a complete analysis of the dynamics of doubly warped product spacetimes, in terms of scale invariant variables, it is demonstrated that for $D \geq 10$, eternally accelerating 4-dimensional $κ= -1$ Friedmann cosmologies arise from dimensional reduction on an internal space with negative Einstein geometry.

description: LNG is a good way to transport natural gas from suppliers to consumers. However, the LNG cold energy is generally lost during the regasification process at the receiving terminals. LNG cold energy can be a great heat sink for power cycles. Meanwhile, solar energy is abundant on the earth and it is a great heat source for the power cycles. If solar energy and the LNG cold energy can be utilized in an integrated power system, the efficiency of energy utilization and economical profitability would be increased substantially. Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) and CO2 cycle can utilize LNG cold energy and solar energy. ORC performs better than the CO2 cycle for LNG cold energy utilization since organic working fluid can condensate at a much lower temperature, while the transcritical CO2 cycle may perform better since the supercritical CO2 can match well with the transfer fluid from the solar collector. One-cycle and dual-cycle power generation systems are proposed and modeled in this study. A single unified model is developed in the Python language and presents the capacity to model different cycle configurations (subcritical, transcritical, supercritical). The rigorous thermodynamic model and system configuration model are established based on the CoolProp platform. The transcritical power generation system has the maximum power output, while the transcritical CO2 cycle has a much lower volume flowrate at the outlet of the turbine, which may be a better option from the techno-economic point of view.

description: Electrons on the helium surface display sharp resonant absorption lines related to the transitions between the subbands of quantized motion transverse to the surface. A magnetic field parallel to the surface strongly affects the absorption spectrum. We show that the effect comes from admixing the out-of-plane motion to the in-plane quantum dynamics of the strongly correlated electron liquid or a Wigner crystal. This is similar to the admixing electron transitions in color centers to phonons. The spectrum permits a direct characterization of the many-electron dynamics and also enables testing the theory of color centers in a system with a controllable coupling.

description: Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) generates electricity through a heat engine by exploiting the temperature difference between the ocean surface and deep seawater. Since the effective temperature difference for the heat engine depends on the heat exchangers’ performance, the irreversible loss in the heat exchangers should be reduced. However, heat exchangers with high heat transfer performance generally have a large pressure drop, and the finite heat transfer performance and the fluid flow resistance cause irreversible loss during the heat transfer process. Performance evaluation methods for heat exchangers generally evaluate the heat transfer performance and pressure drop separately. The objective of this study was to develop a performance evaluation method that could be used for maximizing the net power of OTEC based on finite-time thermodynamics (FTT). On the basis of the FTT model, the relationship between a heat exchanger’s performance for an irreversible heat engine and the net power output per heat transfer area is presented. Additionally, a comprehensive performance index for the heat exchanger is proposed. The performance evaluation procedure and the comparison of the plate heat exchanger performance are conducted to show the effectiveness of the performance evaluation method. The results show that the proposed evaluation method presents the beak down of the performance ratio of heat exchangers, which indicates the quantitative performance for every heat exchanger in terms of the maximum net power generation of OTEC.

description: We present a detailed analysis of assumptions that J. Bell used to show that local realism contradicts QM. We find that Bell's viewpoint on realism is nonphysical, because it implicitly assume that observed physical variables coincides with ontic variables (i.e., these variables before measurement). The real physical process of measurement is a process of dynamical interaction between a system and a measurement device. Therefore one should check the adequacy of QM not to ``Bell's realism,'' but to adaptive realism (chameleon realism). Dropping Bell's assumption we are able to construct a natural representation of the EPR-Bohm correlations in the local (adaptive) realistic approach.

description: Automatic detection and recognition of banknotes can be a very useful technology for people with visual difficulties and also for the banks itself by providing efficient management for handling different paper currencies. Lightweight models can easily be integrated into any handy IoT based gadgets/devices. This article presents our experiments on several state-of-the-art deep learning methods based on Lightweight Convolutional Neural Network architectures combining with transfer learning. ResNet152v2, MobileNet, and NASNetMobile were used as the base models with two different datasets containing Bangladeshi banknote images. The Bangla Currency dataset has 8000 Bangladeshi banknote images where the Bangla Money dataset consists of 1970 images. The performances of the models were measured using both the datasets and the combination of the two datasets. In order to achieve maximum efficiency, we used various augmentations, hyperparameter tuning, and optimizations techniques. We have achieved maximum test accuracy of 98.88\% on 8000 images dataset using MobileNet, 100\% on the 1970 images dataset using NASNetMobile, and 97.77\% on the combined dataset (9970 images) using MobileNet.

description: The organic Rankine cycle power system is an emerging technology, which is able to recover the waste heat from the diesel engine of heavy-duty trucks and thus increase the overall engine efficiency. One of the major technical challenges for the integration of the organic Rankine cycle unit on-board trucks are the broad and rapid fluctuations of the available waste heat, caused by the unsteady driving conditions of the truck. Model predictive control has shown to be a powerful tool to ensure safe operation and optimal performance of the organic Rankine cycle unit on-board trucks. This paper presents a novel systematic method for the tuning of model predictive controllers based on a multi-objective optimization routine using a fourth-order reduced linear model. The objectives of the optimization are the settling time due to a step change of the exhaust gas mass flow rate and the cumulative controller effort due to measurement noise. The results suggest that a trade-off exists between the two objectives. Among the controller design parameters, the input rate weight has the largest influence on the controller performance. Interestingly, the simplified optimization procedure based on the reduced-order linear model of the organic Rankine cycle unit can provide key information about the controller performance based on a more complex nonlinear model of the organic Rankine cycle unit when subjected to a realistic waste heat profile. It is found that the settling time due to a step change of the exhaust gas mass flow rate is a good indicator of the absolute mean square tracking error over the profile, and it should not exceed 15 s for an absolute mean square tracking error below 2 K. On the other hand, the cumulative controller effort due to measurement noise is strongly correlated to the cumulative controller effort over the profile, and it should stay below 0.5 %/s for a cumulative controller effort over the whole profile below 2 %/s. The presented method is a powerful tool to help the control designer to find the optimal design parameters of model predictive controllers in a systematic way, in contrast to the timeconsuming, experience-based trial and error methods.

description: We study the dynamics in phases with vector condensates of gluons (gluonic phases) in dense two-flavor quark matter. These phases yield an example of dynamics in which the Higgs mechanism is provided by condensates of gauge (or gauge plus scalar) fields. Because vacuum expectation values of spatial components of vector fields break the rotational symmetry, it is naturally to have a spontaneous breakdown both of external and internal symmetries in this case. In particular, by using the Ginzburg-Landau approach, we establish the existence of a gluonic phase with both the rotational symmetry and the electromagnetic U(1) being spontaneously broken. In other words, this phase describes an anisotropic medium in which the color and electric superconductivities coexist. It is shown that this phase corresponds to a minimum of the Ginzburg-Landau potential and, unlike the two-flavor superconducting (2SC) phase, it does not suffer from the chromomagnetic instability. The dual (confinement) description of its dynamics is developed and it is shown that there are light exotic vector hadrons in the spectrum, some of which condense. Because most of the initial symmetries in this system are spontaneously broken, its dynamics is very rich.

Techno-economic analysis of partial evaporation organic Rankine cycle systems for geothermal applications

description: The organic Rankine cycle technology is an efficient and cost-effective way to utilise low-grade heat for power generation. Especially when the investment costs for the extraction of the heat source are high, it is of crucial importance to increase the power production in order to maximize the revenues and thus ensure a reasonable pay-back time. Besides the classical sub-critical cycles, various cycle architectures have been investigated to improve the performance of organic Rankine cycle systems. Among these, the partial evaporation organic Rankine cycle architecture is considered particularly promising because it provides a better match with the heat source temperature profile during heat exchange, resulting in a greater utilization of the available energy of the heat source. Previous studies have reported an increase in exergy efficiency of the system by up to 60 % when considering partial evaporation instead of complete evaporation of the organic fluid, with the greatest advantages occurring for low temperature heat sources. The use of partial evaporation also results in a more voluminous and costly organic Rankine cycle system. However, there are no previous analyses that address the economic feasibility of partial evaporation organic Rankine cycle systems. This paper presents a techno-economic analysis of partial evaporation cycles, with particular focus on low-grade geothermal heat sources. Partial evaporation and sub-critical organic Rankine cycle systems were optimized for different heat source conditions and their techno-economic performances were compared. The results suggest that partial evaporation cycle systems are able to provide an increase in net power output between 20 % and 60 % compared with sub-critical cycles for the considered heat source temperatures, but also require higher specific investment costs (up to 75 %) due to the increase in heat exchange area and number of stages of the expander. Nevertheless, due to the small contribution of the power system to the cost of the whole plant and due to the high equivalent full load hours, the results of this paper indicate that adopting partial evaporation can reduce the levelized cost of electricity up to 12 % for geothermal plants.

description: The work aims to analyze the degree of innovation of the Italian productive system bringing out, on the basis of a series of  researches, some  lights and shadows. In particular,  we focus on the evolution of innovative Italian firms during the years 2010-2012 in comparison with the European countries through a recent survey conducted by EUROSTAT. Then the study analyzes two distinct packages of facilitation measures: the first, adopted at the end of 2012, concerning innovative startups; the second (adopted at the end of March 2015) inherent the innovative SMEs. After having shown some "numbers" on the new world of innovative startups and provided an assessment of some specific facilitating measures in their favor, the work concludes with some reflections on future strategies that could make more effective the process started in recent years, strengthening the improvements already achieved, of which, however, we begin to “see” the first results.

The dynamics and structure of groups : two case studies of the common honeybee
Creators: name: Watmough, James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: I study the problem of self-organized pattern formation by groups of organisms. "Self-organized" groups are coordinated by interactions between all individuals in the group rather than by a leader or hierarchical organization. The information and stimuli necessary to coordinate individual activities are communicated through the group by these interactions. I begin by describing a modelling philosophy where as many details of the individual behaviours are included in the model as are necessary for both biological and mathematical completeness, but no group behaviours are fed into the model. Two specific phenomena are addressed using this approach. The first phenomenon is honey bee cluster thermoregulation. I address the question "can cluster thermoregulation be explained using only the observed behaviours of individual bees?" and show that a temperature dependent behaviour of the bees is sufficient to produce the observed global thermoregulation of the cluster. Previous models of cluster thermoregulation are discussed in light of this modelling approach. The model also is able to make testable predictions about the density profiles of the cluster. The second phenomenon modelled is the transmission of a pheromone through a honey bee colony. The problem is of interest to beekeepers, since the pheromone is known to suppress swarming. I answer the question "How does congestion within a honey bee colony affect the transmission of a pheromone through the hive?" This question is central to a current hypothesis on the connection between the queen's ability to produce pheromones, colony size and congestion, and swarming. The cluster thermoregulation model involves a behavioural dependence on the cluster temperature. In contrast, the transmission model involves a direct exchange of a chemical pheromone between the bees. Thus, with the thermoregulation model I examine interactions mediated through an environmental state, and with the transmission model I examine direct interactions between individuals. I study these models using both Eulerian and Lagrangian models. The Lagrangian model is studied using cellular automata simulation. The Eulerian model consists of a system of partial integro-differential equations and is studied using a combination of numerical simulations and mathematical analysis. The results of the models suggest that the two interactions produce similar group properties. In the thermoregulation model, information about the global structure of the group diffuses through the cluster as thermal energy. In the transmission model, pheromone diffuses through the colony by the random motions of the bees.

The phase problem is solved by means of a neural network, which is trained with simulated data and verified with experimental data. The neural network allows live reconstructions within a few milliseconds, which previously with iterative phase retrieval took several seconds, thus allowing the adjustment of complex systems and correction by adaptive optics in real time. The neural network additionally outperforms iterative phase retrieval with high noise diffraction patterns.

description: The Bluegrass physiographic region of Kentucky is underlain by the late Ordovician Lexington Limestone formation. This area has many identifiable karst features, including sinkholes. Karst sinkholes and associated soils coevolve, which may influence the distribution of bulk soil properties and storage of carbon across karst landscapes. Two sinkholes on the University of Kentucky’s C. Oran Little Animal Research Center in Woodford County, central Kentucky, were selected for analysis. We described and sampled nine pedons at the dominant landscape positions (e.g., summit, shoulder, backslope, footslope, and toeslope) within the two sinkholes; we characterized the physical, chemical, and mineralogical soil properties across the hillslope gradient (i.e., toposequence). As a general trend, total carbon content decreased with sampling depth, and the toeslope and footslope positions contained higher carbon stocks relative to other landscape positions. Total carbon and silt tended to accumulate in the base of sinkholes, whereas summit positions exhibited higher clay contents and iron and aluminum oxide concentrations. The relationship between silt and carbon, and negative relationships between carbon and clay content, exchangeable Ca, and dithionite-extractable Fe and Al may suggest that the carbon in the base of these features is less likely to be minerally associated. An estimated 20% of the world’s land surface is underlain by lithologies favorable for karst terrain formation making the characterization of the soil in these landscapes applicable outside of Kentucky’s Inner Bluegrass. Measuring the properties of soils in karst sinkholes will allow for a better understanding of their place in karst landscapes, as well as their role in carbon cycling.

High temperature direct vapor generation organic Rankine cycle in the concentrated solar power application
Creators: name: Pengcheng Li
name: Li, Jing
Publisher: name: Technical University of Munich
Year: 2021

description: A novel direct vapor generation solar thermal power system in the high-temperature application (>350oC) is proposed. The system mainly consists of a solar field, two-tank thermal storage, and cascade organic/steam Rankine cycle (ORC-SRC). Compared with the commercial concentrated solar power (CSP) plants using synthetic oil for heat carrier purpose only, the novel system employs the oil for heat collection, thermal storage and power conversion. The thermal oil is vaporized directly in the solar field. The outlet fluid can be either in liquid, binary phase, or vapor state, depending on the solar radiation. Vapor in the high-temperature tank flows into the ORC turbine and expands. The exhaust vapor is condensed, and the heat is released to the bottom SRC. The system tackles the challenges in the direct vapor generation technology: stable power conversion under fluctuating solar radiation and long-term reliable storage. The fundamentals of the system are illustrated. Mathematical models are built. Simulation is conducted by using Therminol® VP-1 as the fluid. The results indicate that the proposed system significantly increases the average temperature of the solar field owing to the fluid vaporization. Compared with a conventional CSP system using two-tank thermal storage, the proposed system has a higher power efficiency (42.01% vs. 37.93%). By optimizing the steam evaporation temperature of the bottom SRC, a further efficiency increment is expected with a large storage capacity. The direct vapor generation solar field of thermal oil can also be combined with a molten salt unit. Though two-tank oil storage is exemplified in the simulation, the increased efficiency and enlarged storage capacity are achievable when two-tank molten salt storage is employed

description: We report quantum oscillation measurements of LaAlGe, a Lorentz-violating type-II Weyl semimetal with tilted Weyl cones. Very small quasiparticle masses and very high Fermi velocities were detected at the Fermi surface. Whereas three main frequencies have been observed, angular dependence of two Fermi surface sheets indicates possible two-dimensional (2D) character despite the absence of the 2D structural features such as van der Waals bonds. Such conducting states may offer a good platform for low-dimensional polarized spin current in magnetic RAlGe (R = Ce, Pr) materials.

description: We present a simple set of kinematic criteria that can distinguish between galaxies dominated by ordered rotational motion and those involved in major merger events. Our criteria are based on the dynamics of the warm ionized gas (as traced by H-alpha) within galaxies, making this analysis accessible to high-redshift systems, whose kinematics are primarily traceable through emission features. Using the method of kinemetry (developed by Krajnovic and co-workers), we quantify asymmetries in both the velocity and velocity dispersion maps of the warm gas, and the resulting criteria enable us to empirically differentiate between non-merging and merging systems at high redshift. We apply these criteria to 11 of our best-studied rest-frame UV/optical-selected z~2 galaxies for which we have near infrared integral field spectroscopic data from SINFONI on the VLT. Of these 11 systems, we find that >50% have kinematics consistent with a single rotating disk interpretation, while the remaining systems are more likely undergoing major mergers. This result, combined with the short formation timescales of these systems, provides evidence that rapid, smooth accretion of gas plays a significant role in galaxy formation at high redshift.

description: We have obtained deep and wide field imaging of the Coma cluster of galaxies with the CFH12K camera at CFHT in the B, V, R and I filters. In this paper, we present the observations, data reduction, catalogs and first scientific results. We investigated the quality of our data by internal and external literature comparisons. We also checked the realisation of the observational requirements we set. Our observations cover two partially overlapping areas of $42 \times 28$ arcmin$^2$, leading to a total area of 0.72 $\times$ 0.82 deg$^2$. We have produced catalogs of objects that cover a range of more than 10 magnitudes and are complete at the 90% level at B$\sim$25, V$\sim$24, R$\sim$24 and I$\sim$23.5 for stellar-like objects, and at B$\sim$22, V$\sim$21, R$\sim$20.75 and I$\sim$20.5 for faint low-surface-brightness galaxy-like objects. Magnitudes are in good agreement with published values from R$\sim$16 to R$\sim$25. The photometric uncertainties are of the order of 0.1 magnitude at R$\sim$20 and of 0.3 magnitude at R$\sim$25. Astrometry is accurate to 0.5~arcsec and also in good agreement with published data. Our catalog provides a rich dataset that can be mined for years to come to gain new insights into the formation and evolution of the Coma cluster and its galaxy population. As an illustration of the data quality, we examine the bright part of the Colour Magnitude Relation (B-R versus R) derived from the catalog and find that it is in excellent agreement with that derived for galaxies with redshifts in the Coma cluster, and with previous CMRs estimated in the literature.

description: Reversible heat pump/organic Rankine cycle (RHP/ORC) systems have been lately brought to the forefront of two main applications. The first involves the provision of useful heating or cooling and the exploitation of external heat sources for power production, whereas the second deals with energy storage, where heat is primarily produced to be stored and then utilized for power generation to compensate the mismatch between generation and demand. In the present study, the design and the seasonal performance evaluation of a micro-scale, renewable energy-based trigeneration system having an RHP/ORC unit at its core are presented, where the two aforementioned concepts can be combined. The system operates either as a heat pump for low-temperature heating driven by solar heat and for cooling coupled with an adsorption chiller in a cascade configuration or as a stand-alone chiller, or as an ORC valorizing solar and/or biomass heat up to 120 °C. The design of the prototype system is hereby presented, including system modeling and working fluid selection, system architecture design and equipment sizing. Based on the simulations, the flexible design of the system allows for efficient performance under the main identified operating modes, reaching a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) and seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) of 3.63 and 4.25 for an average climate, as well as a maximum nominal ORC efficiency up to 5.90%.
