description: PV-storage systems for domestic applications will become a relevant element for the future decentralised energy supply in Europe. There are an increasing number of installations of PV-storage systems already to be observed. Due to the reduction of system-costs within the next years on one hand and increasing prices for electrical energy on the other hand the market potential of theses kind of on-site generation/storage will become very significant. The present study analyses the energetic and financial potential of PV-storage system for the regions of southern Europe using the example of Italy. A sound model in combination with realistic data from a domestic energy consumption monitoring campaign ensures reliable results. The clearly represented graphs obtained from the simulations will enable the reader to derive the self-consumption and the autarky quote for a large number of constellations of PV-system size, household consumption and battery capacity. The second part of the analysis presents the financial potential of PVstorage systems in Italy considered over a 20 year time period with three different starting points.
Vanishing of black hole tidal Love numbers from scattering amplitudes

description: We extract the black hole (BH) static tidal deformability coefficients (Love numbers) and their spin-0 and spin-1 analogs by comparing on-shell amplitudes for fields to scatter off a spinning BH in the worldline effective field theory (EFT) and in general relativity (GR). We point out that the GR amplitudes due to tidal effects originate entirely from the BH potential region. Thus, they can be separated from gravitational non-linearities in the wave region, whose proper treatment requires higher order EFT loop calculations. In particular, the elastic scattering in the near field approximation is produced exclusively by tidal effects. We find this contribution to vanish identically, which implies that the static Love numbers of Kerr BHs are zero for all types of perturbations. We also reproduce the known behavior of scalar Love numbers for higher dimensional BHs. Our results are manifestly gauge-invariant and coordinate-independent, thereby providing a valuable consistency check for the commonly used off-shell methods.

description: Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonosis caused by pathogenic Leptospira spp. having more than 300 serovars. These serovars can infect a variety of hosts, some being asymptomatic carriers and others showing varied symptoms of mild to severe infection. Since lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the major antigen which defines serovar specificity, this different course of infection may be attributed to a differential innate response against this antigen. Previous studies have shown that Leptospira LPS is less endotoxic. However, it is unclear whether there is a difference in the ability of LPS isolated from different serovars to modulate the innate response. In this study, we purified LPS from three widely prevalent pathogenic serovars i.e. Icterohaemorrhagiae strain RGA, Pomona, Hardjo, and from non-pathogenic L. biflexa serovar semeranga strain Potac 1 (S-LPS) collectively termed as L-LPS and tested their ability to modulate innate response in macrophages from both resistant (mice) and susceptible (human and bovine) hosts. L-LPS induced differential response being more proinflammatory in mouse and less proinflammatory in human and bovine macrophages but overall less immunostimulatory than E. coli LPS (E-LPS). Irrespective of serovar, this response was TLR2-dependent in humans, whereas TLR4-dependent/CD14 independent in mouse using MyD88 adapter and signalling through P38 and ERK-dependent MAP kinase pathway. L-LPS-activated macrophages were able to phagocytose Leptospira and this effect was significantly higher or more pronounced when the macrophages were stimulated with L-LPS from the corresponding serovar. L-LPS activated both canonical and non-canonical inflammasome, producing IL-1β without inducing pyroptosis. Further, L-LPS induced both TNF-mediated early and NO-mediated late apoptosis. Altogether, these results indicate that L-LPS induces a differential innate response that is quite distinct from that induced by E-LPS and may be attributed to the structural differences and its atypical nature.

description: Currently there is a strong trend to combine PV systems with storage systems for increased selfconsumption of PV energy. In many cases, these systems offer also emergency power supply functionality. The applied safety measures have to be compatible with the safety measures in the load circuits. The work shows advantages and disadvantages of different safety approaches for temporary off-grid operation and elaborates special scenarios to show the strengths and weaknesses.

description: We consider how QCD axions produced by the misalignment mechanism could form galactic dark matter halos. We recall that stationary, gravitationally stable axion field configurations have the size of an asteroid with masses of order $10^{-13} $ solar masses (because gradient pressure is insufficient to support a larger object). We call such field configurations "drops". We explore whether rotating drops could be larger, and find that their mass could increase by a factor ~ 10. Remarkably this mass is comparable to the mass of miniclusters generated from misalignment axions in the scenario where the axion is born after inflation. We speculate that misalignment axions today are in the form of drops, contributing to dark matter like a distribution of asteroids (and not as a coherent oscillating background field). We consider some observational signatures of the drops, which seem consistent with a galactic halo made of axion dark matter.

description: A new methodology for computing degradation rates of photovoltaic (PV) systems based on robust principal component analysis (PCA) is proposed. Conventional PCA demonstrates that performance ratio (PR), Rp, time series contain two significant features attributed to seasonality and uncertainty. Robust PCA is used in order to remove the effects of uncertainty from the original PR time series. The data obtained after removing the effects of uncertainty is then used for computing a newly defined degradation rate measure, which is based on the area enclosed by the curves of the PR time series of the first and the last year of evaluation. In addition, the degradation rate results are compared with those obtained in the previous studies using the conventional linear regression methodology.

description: A number of results on quantum quenches in the Luttinger and related models are surveyed with emphasis on post-quench correlations. For the Luttinger model and initial gaussian states, we discuss both sudden and smooth quenches of the interaction and the emergence of a steady state described by a generalized Gibbs ensemble. Comparisons between analytics and numerics, and the question of universality or lack thereof are also discussed. The relevance of the theoretical results to current and future experiments in the fields of ultracold atomic gases and mesoscopic systems of electrons is also briefly touched upon. Wherever possible, our approach is pedagogical and self-contained. This work is dedicated to the memory of our colleague Alejandro Muramatsu.

description: We describe the spectroscopic data processing pipeline of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), which is conducting a redshift survey of about 40 million galaxies and quasars using a purpose-built instrument on the 4-m Mayall Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. The main goal of DESI is to measure with unprecedented precision the expansion history of the Universe with the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation technique and the growth rate of structure with Redshift Space Distortions. Ten spectrographs with three cameras each disperse the light from 5000 fibers onto 30 CCDs, covering the near UV to near infrared (3600 to 9800 Angstrom) with a spectral resolution ranging from 2000 to 5000. The DESI data pipeline generates wavelength- and flux-calibrated spectra of all the targets, along with spectroscopic classifications and redshift measurements. Fully processed data from each night are typically available to the DESI collaboration the following morning. We give details about the pipeline's algorithms, and provide performance results on the stability of the optics, the quality of the sky background subtraction, and the precision and accuracy of the instrumental calibration. This pipeline has been used to process the DESI Survey Validation data set, and has exceeded the project's requirements for redshift performance, with high efficiency and a purity greater than 99 percent for all target classes.

description: In the next few years, the near-infrared interferometer GRAVITY will be able to observe the Galactic center. Astrometric data will be obtained with an anticipated accuracy of 10 $μ$as. To analyze these future data, we have developed a code called GYOTO to compute orbits and images. We want to assess the validity and accuracy of GYOTO in a variety of contexts, in particular for stellar astrometry in the Galactic center. Furthermore, we want to tackle and complete a study made on the astrometric displacements that are due to lensing effects of a star of the central parsec with GYOTO. We first validate GYOTO in the weak-deflection limit (WDL) by studying primary caustics and primary critical curves obtained for a Kerr black hole. We compare GYOTO results to available analytical approximations and estimate GYOTO errors using an intrinsic estimator. In the strong-deflection limit (SDL), we choose to compare null geodesics computed by GYOTO and the ray-tracing code named Geokerr. Finally, we use GYOTO to estimate the apparent displacements of a star for different angles from Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). We have demonstrated that GYOTO is accurate to a very high level, orders of magnitude better than the GRAVITY requirements. GYOTO is also valid in weak- and strong-deflection regimes and for very long integrations. At the astrometric precision that GRAVITY is aiming for, lensing effects must always be taken into account when fitting stellar orbits in the central parsec of the Galaxy.

description: In this paper, we evaluate inequality as one of the objective functions as well as cost and co2, and carry out the computational optimization to clarify the efficient EV battery operation. We propose “Constant-ratio reversal power flow control”. In this operation, we optimize “reversal ratio”. Based on the optimized “reversal ratio”, we divide the surplus power into “reversal power” to the grid and “Charging power” to the EV battery. The difference between EV battery and stationary battery is that EV has a period of time to drive. We call the ratio of the EV which drives “driving ratio”.

description: Chemical abundance variations in the ISM provide important information about the galactic evolution, star-formation and enrichment histories. Recent observations of disk galaxies suggest that if large-scale azimuthal metallicity variations appear in the ISM, they are linked to the spiral arms. In this work, using a set of chemodynamical simulations of the Milky Way-like spiral galaxies, we quantify the impact of gas radial motions~(migration) in the presence of a pre-existing radial metallicity gradient and the local ISM enrichment on both global and local variations of the mean ISM metallicity in the vicinity of the spiral arms. In all the models, we find the scatter of the gas metallicity of \approx0.04-0.06 dex at a given galactocentric distance. On large scales, we observe the presence of spiral-like metallicity patterns in the ISM which are more prominent in models with the radial metallicity gradient. However, in our simulations, the morphology of the large-scale ISM metallicity distributions significantly differs from the spiral arms structure in stellar/gas components resulting in both positive and negative residual~(after subtraction of the radial gradient) metallicity trends along spiral arms. We discuss the correlations of the residual ISM metallicity values with the star formation rate, gas kinematics and offset to the spiral arms, concluding that the presence of a radial metallicity gradient is essential for the azimuthal variations of metallicity. At the same time, the local enrichment alone is unlikely to drive systematic variations of the metallicity across the spirals.

description: Recent developments in silicon photovoltaic (PV) research include smart-PV modules with reconfigurable topologies and short-term prediction of the energy yield of the module for grid regulation purposes. Nevertheless in many cases, traditional simulation models are rendered ineffective both in detail and speed, since extensive transient simulations cannot be covered by simple sets of equations. On top of that, most models do not account for intra-module temperature gradients, or fast non-linear dynamic effects, which can affect the final result. A novel set of Verilog-AMS models is introduced in this paper, enabling transient electro-thermal analysis of a PV module with thermal coupling down to the cell level. These models are based on a validated electro-thermal cell model, extending its capabilities to include shading and wind effects. A speed-up of 3600x is achieved versus finite element method (FEM) solvers, while maintaining accuracy in applicable levels. Moreover, a parameterizable, behavioral maximum power point (MPP) tracker is presented, allowing the exploration of interesting dynamic situations and estimation of long-term energy yield with speed-ups of 500x versus real-time.

description: From recent years, there is a trend towards the use of small power generating units connected on the low-voltage distribution system. It has given to the costumer the possibility to be active on demand response, including spinning reserve (delta production). Consequently, it is important to have a good estimation of the available power at the maximum power point (MPP) when the solar PV plant is operating under active power reduction request. This paper presents two new techniques to estimate the available active power at the maximum power point during this state. Our results show the estimation error can be better than 2.5% in more than half of the cases. Initially a small introduction presents more details about motivated legislations which emboldened this investigation and relevant contributions of presented work. The proposed solutions are then developed based on 1) the Single Diode Model (SDM) and 2) the measured current (U/I) characteristic. Finally, some comparison results are presented in a way to testify the efficiency of the proposed solution.

description: A large share of Malawian households faces multiple shocks which affect their welfare. There is a need to develop programs that increase household resilience against the recurring weather-related disasters and adversities such as promotion of climate smart technologies and practices. As a coping mechanism, most households resort to using own savings, while a significant number of households do nothing. Social safety nets and farm input subsidies play a significant role in cushioning households against shocks, but the current programmes are hampered by poor targeting hence not fully benefiting the intended poor households. The government and development partners should develop better ways of targeting of the existing social safety nets and input subsidy programmes so as to benefit the deserving and intended poor households.

description: Observations indicate that turbulent motions are present on most massive star surfaces. Starting from the observed phenomena of spectral lines with widths much larger than thermal broadening (e.g. micro- and macroturbulence) to the detection of stochastic low-frequency variability (SLFV) in the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite photometry, these stars clearly have large scale turbulent motions on their surfaces. The cause of this turbulence is debated, with near-surface convection zones, core internal gravity waves, and wind variability being proposed. Our 3D grey radiation hydrodynamic (RHD) models characterized the surfaces' convective dynamics driven by near-surface convection zones and provided a reasonable match to the observed SLFV in the most luminous massive stars. We now explore the complex emitting surfaces of these 3D RHD models, which strongly violate the 1D assumption of a plane parallel atmosphere. By post-processing the grey RHD models with the Monte Carlo radiation transport code SEDONA, we synthesize stellar spectra and extract information from the broadening of individual photospheric lines. The use of SEDONA enables the calculation of the viewing angle and temporal dependence of spectral absorption line profiles. Combining uncorrelated temporal snapshots together, we compare the broadening from the 3D RHD models' velocity fields to the thermal broadening of the extended emitting region, showing that our synthesized spectral lines closely resemble the observed macroturbulent broadening from similarly luminous stars. More generally, the new techniques we have developed will allow for systematic studies of the origin of turbulent velocity broadening from any future 3D simulations.

While Anti-Virus (AV) program may successfully detect malicious applications (apps), they remain ineffective against low-level rootkits that evade detection mechanisms by masking their own presence. Furthermore, any detection mechanism run on the same physical device as the monitored OS can be compromised via application, kernel or boot-loader vulnerabilities. Consequentially, trusted detection of kernel rootkits in mobile devices is a challenging task in practice. In this paper we present JoKER - a system which aims at detecting rootkits in the Android kernel by utilizing the hardware's Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) interface for trusted memory forensics. Our framework consists of components that extract areas of a kernel's memory and reconstruct it for further analysis. We present the overall architecture along with its implementation, and demonstrate that the system can successfully detect the presence of stealthy rootkits in the kernel. The results show that although JTAG's main purpose is system testing, it can also be used for malware detection where traditional methods fail.

description: Giant magnetocaloric (GMC) materials constitute a requirement for near room temperature magnetic refrigeration. (Fe,Mn)$_2$(P,Si) is a GMC compound with strong magnetoelastic coupling. The main hindrance towards application of this material is a comparably large temperature hysteresis, which can be reduced by metal site substitution with a nonmagnetic element. However, the (Fe,Mn)$_2$(P,Si) compound has two equally populated metal sites, the tetrahedrally coordinated $3f$ and the pyramidally coordinated $3g$ sites. The magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of such compounds are highly sensitive to the site specific occupancy of the magnetic atoms. Here we have attempted to study separately the effect of $3f$ and $3g$ site substitution with equal amounts of vanadium. Using formation energy calculations, the site preference of vanadium and its influence on the magnetic phase formation are described. A large difference in the isothermal entropy change (as high as 44\%) with substitution in the $3f$ and $3g$ sites is observed. The role of the lattice parameter change with temperature and the strength of the magnetoelastic coupling on the magnetic properties are highlighted.

description: Graphene layers are known to stack in two stable configurations, namely ABA or ABC stacking, with drastically distinct electronic properties. Unlike the ABA stacking, little has been done to experimentally investigate the electronic properties of ABC graphene multilayers. Here, we report the first magneto optical study of a large ABC domain in a graphene multilayers flake, with ABC sequences exceeding 17 graphene sheets. The ABC-stacked multilayers can be fingerprinted with a characteristic electronic Raman scattering response, which persists even at room temperatures. Tracing the magnetic field evolution of the inter Landau level excitations from this domain gives strong evidence to the existence of a dispersionless electronic band near the Fermi level, characteristic of such stacking. Our findings present a simple yet powerful approach to probe ABC stacking in graphene multilayer flakes, where this highly degenerated band appears as an appealing candidate to host strongly correlated states.

description: Currently, from the viewpoint of environment and energy problems, the large scale introduction of photovoltaic (PV) to power system comes under review. However, unstable PV outputs might worsen power quality. Therefore, as an effective countermeasure, we investigate PV output prediction method, i.e., Just-In-Time Modeling for power system operation. The required data form of PV output prediction depends on the utilization manner in the power system operation. We investigated the optimal parameter setting in Just-In-Time modeling under various conditions of time and spatial resolutions from the view point of prediction accuracy. Finally, we compare the prediction accuracy under the various resolution conditions.

description: Prevailing models of resistive switching arising from electrochemical formation of conducting filaments across solid state ionic conductors commonly attribute the observed polarity of the voltage-biased switching to the sequence of the active and inert electrodes confining the resistive switching memory cell. Here we demonstrate equivalent, stable switching behavior in metallic Ag-Ag$_{2}$S-Ag nanojunctions at room temperature. Our experimental results and numerical simulations reveal that the polarity of the switchings is solely determined by the geometrical asymmetry of the electrode surfaces. By the lithographical design of a proof of principle device we demonstrate the merits of simplified fabrication of atomic-scale, robust planar Ag$_{2}$S memory cells.

description: There are many possible operational problems that may occur in a PV system and the sooner they are detected and repaired, the lowest the energy loss will be. Most of the malfunctions are taking place in the inverter of a PV system [1]. The result of the majority of the inverter malfunctions is not a standard reduction on the output of the system but a variable energy loss [2]. These malfunctions, like bad Maximum Power Point Tracking MPPT or inverter outage, are very difficult to be detected using only the so-called Performance Ratio of the system, which is standard in PV performance analyses [1]. During this study, a new monitoring method was proposed in which energy yield is related to reference energy yield as scatterplot using the mean square error (MSE). Any unusual change of the linear regression implies the presence of a malfunction, and in fact our MSE method showed that inverter malfunctions and cases of partially shading can be detected, where other methods fail.

Robust phase-controlled gates for scalable atomic quantum processors using optical standing waves

description: A simple scheme is presented for realizing robust optically controlled quantum gates for scalable atomic quantum processors by driving the qubits with optical standing waves. Atoms localized close to the antinodes of the standing wave can realize phase-controlled quantum operations that are potentially more than an order of magnitude less sensitive to the local optical phase and atomic motion than corresponding travelling wave configurations. The scheme is compatible with robust optimal control techniques and spatial qubit addressing in atomic arrays to realize phase controlled operations without the need for tight focusing and precise positioning of the control lasers. This will be particularly beneficial for quantum gates involving Doppler sensitive optical frequency transitions and provides an all optical route to scaling up atomic quantum processors.

description: As our ground transportation infrastructure modernizes, the large amount of data being measured, transmitted, and stored motivates an analysis of the privacy aspect of these emerging cyber-physical technologies. In this paper, we consider privacy in the routing game, where the origins and destinations of drivers are considered private. This is motivated by the fact that this spatiotemporal information can easily be used as the basis for inferences for a person's activities. More specifically, we consider the differential privacy of the mapping from the amount of flow for each origin-destination pair to the traffic flow measurements on each link of a traffic network. We use a stochastic online learning framework for the population dynamics, which is known to converge to the Nash equilibrium of the routing game. We analyze the sensitivity of this process and provide theoretical guarantees on the convergence rates as well as differential privacy values for these models. We confirm these with simulations on a small example.

description: Papert's (1980) work with Turtle Geometry offered an early and provocative vision of how digital technologies could be used with young learners. Since then, research on digital technology use has focused on the middle and high school levels. Given the increasing diversity of digital technologies, and their varied underlying pedagogical goals and design choices, Clements' (2002) claim that there is no single effect of the computer on mathematics achievement is as true now as it was a decade ago. However, many advances have been made in better articulating the range of design choices that are possible, their potential effect on the cognitive and affective dimensions on mathematics learning, and their varying demands on the teacher. The aim of this chapter is to summarise the research literature on the use of digital technologies in the teaching and learning of mathematics at the k-2 level. In particular, we focus on literature that contributes to our understanding of how the use of digital technologies affects and changes the teaching and learning of mathematics - that is, how different affordances and design choices impact on the way teachers and learners interact and express themselves mathematically. By digital technologies we refer to a range of tools including multi-purpose computer-based software programs, web-based applets, virtual manipulatives, programming languages, CD-ROMs, games, calculators, touchscreen applications and interactive whiteboards. The distinction between these various types is not always evident and, indeed, one goal of this chapter is to provide useful distinguishing features of these various technologies in order to help educators better evaluate and choose amongst them.
