description: Bloch and Okounkov's correlation function on the infinite wedge space has connections to Gromov-Witten theory, Hilbert schemes, symmetric groups, and certain character functions of $\hgl_\infty$-modules of level one. Recent works have calculated these character functions for higher levels for $\hgl_\infty$ and its Lie subalgebras of classical type. Here we obtain these functions for the subalgebra of type $D$ of half-integral levels and as a byproduct, obtain $q$-dimension formulas for integral modules of type $D$ at half-integral level.

description: By the precise timing of the low amplitude (0.005 - 0.02 magnitude) transits of exoplanets around their parent star it should be possible to infer the presence of other planetary bodies in the system down to Earth-like masses. We describe the design and construction of RISE, a fast-readout frame transfer camera for the Liverpool Telescope designed to carry out this experiment. The results of our commissioning tests are described as well as the data reduction procedure necessary. We present light curves of two objects, showing that the desired timing and photometric accuracy can be obtained providing that autoguiding is used to keep the target on the same detector pixel for the entire (typically 4 hour) observing run.

Slides presented at webinar Advances in Distribution System Time-Series Analysis for Studying DER Impacts
Distribution system analysis with ever increasing numbers of distributed energy resources (DER) requires new innovations in planning analysis tools to 1) Capture the time-varying and time-dependent aspects of the system, 2) Investigate the challenges of planning for future growth while maintaining or improving feeder performance with the influx of many new disruptive technologies such as DER and grid edge devices, and 3) Understand the complex interaction and control of new DER with diverse utility operation strategies. Quasi-static time-series (QSTS) analysis has received increasing interest from the power system analysis community as it promises refined insight into power system operating and planning concerns, especially for large numbers of distributed energy resources (DERs). Unfortunately, detailed QSTS analysis is also currently computationally intensive as yearlong simulations may take days to complete using standard computing platforms available to typical utilities. This webinar presents the advantages of timeseries analysis and the multifaceted research focused on dramatically decreasing the amount of time required to complete accurate QSTS simulations.

description: The Multidimensional Assignment Problem (MAP) (abbreviated s-AP in the case of s dimensions) is an extension of the well-known assignment problem. The most studied case of MAP is 3-AP, though the problems with larger values of s also have a large number of applications. We consider several known neighborhoods, generalize them and propose some new ones. The heuristics are evaluated both theoretically and experimentally and dominating algorithms are selected. We also demonstrate a combination of two neighborhoods may yield a heuristics which is superior to both of its components.

Upper primary teachers’ explicit instructional practices for vocabulary enhancement during literacy blocks.
Creators: name: Keenan, Lauren
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2020

description: A robust approach to vocabulary instruction is necessary for literacy learning. Research suggests a need for further investigation and analysis of evidence-based vocabulary teaching practices. This qualitative study examines the explicit instructional practices for vocabulary enhancement used by upper primary teachers during literacy blocks. It explores how teachers, within a community of shared planning and practice, understand vocabulary instruction and implement these practices in the classroom. It uses a case study methodology to examine the conceptual and procedural knowledge of vocabulary instruction of three teachers. A teacher from each of the upper primary year levels was represented in the study: years four, five and six. Data were collected through interviews and classroom observations during literacy blocks. Findings showed that the teachers implemented a range of robust instructional practices. However, a lot of their practice was incidental in nature, as opposed to explicit and intentional. Many opportunities for using evidence-based vocabulary instruction strategies were not recognised by the participants. Participant teachers from the study experienced personal barriers to implementing a robust approach to vocabulary instruction, such as a lack of knowledge in relation to evidence-based vocabulary practices and time constraints in the classroom. Additional research is needed to identify how best to support teachers with this mismatch between current teacher practice and research-validated practice.

Currently batteries in PJM participate in the regulation market as a generation asset, but a number of projects have been proposed that offer the opportunity for batteries to participate as transmission assets. A cross-divisional team at PJM is evaluating the past, present, and future use of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) as a solution to transmission congestion or reliability upgrades. This presentation will discuss considerations for PJM?s cross-functional strategy to model, analyze, and approve energy storage devices as transmission solutions. It will touch on recommendations that span PJM?s Markets, Operations, and Planning divisions.

description: The past few years have witnessed growing interests in exceptional points (EPs) in various domains, including photonics, acoustics and electronics. However, EPs have mainly been realized based on the degeneracy of resonances of physical systems; distinct degeneracies occur relating to the absorption properties of waves, with distinct physical manifestations. Here we demonstrate this physically different kind of exceptional point, by engineering degeneracies in the absorption spectrum of optical microcavities with dissipation. We experimentally distinguish the conditions to realize a resonant EP and an absorbing EP. Furthermore, when the optical loss is optimized to achieve perfect absorption at such an EP, we observe an anomalously broadened lineshape in the absorption spectra, as predicted by theory. The distinct scattering properties enabled by this type of EP creates new opportunities for both the fundamental study and applications of non-Hermitian singularities.

description: Translationally invariant finetuned single-particle lattice Hamiltonians host flat bands only. Suitable short-range many-body interactions result in complete suppression of particle transport due to local constraints and Many-Body Flatband Localization. Heat can still flow between spatially locked charges. We show that heat transport is forbidden in dimension one. In higher dimensions heat transport can be unlocked by tuning filling fractions across a percolation transition for suitable lattice geometries. Transport in percolation clusters is additionally affected by effective bulk disorder and edge scattering induced by the local constraints, which work in favor of arresting the heat flow. We discuss explicit examples in one and two dimensions.

description: Mobile information technologies (MIT) have become such an integral part of our personal and work life that their use is almost taken for granted. This form of information technology provides a form of connectedness in the workplace that has fostered growing scholarly interest in the implications of MIT enabled connectivity on organisational control and work autonomy. While a wide range of different workers use this type of information technology for work purposes, the focus of most studies on MIT use and its implication on organisational control and work autonomy has been on professional workers. As a result, there are limited theoretical insights on how the use of MIT by non-professional workers impacts on their work autonomy and organisational control. Therefore, this study addresses this gap by examining how remote service engineers, a group of non-professional workers, use mobile information technology in performing their work and the implications this has for their work autonomy and organisational control.

Slides presented at webinar:  Distributed Control for Improving Power System Stability
Power systems consist of many components distributed across wide geographic
areas. A sudden increase or decrease in load or generation in these systems results in
swings in power transfer between regions, called inter-area oscillations. Damping
these inter-area oscillations is crucial for maintaining a secure and reliable power
grid. In this webinar, we present distributed control schemes that can be used to
improve the small-signal stability of large power systems. Implementations include
the modulation of power transfer along a High Voltage DC transmission line as well
as injecting real power from distributed energy storage devices. We show results
from several example power systems including the western North American Power
System. Furthermore, we discuss practical challenges arising from using remote
measurements for feedback signals. Specifically, we characterize the time delays
associated with synchrophasor-based measurements and highlight the effect time
delays have on stability of the distributed control system.

Slides presented at webinar: Blockchain Technology for Transactive Energy: A New Framework

Transactive Energy (TE) will be an important technology enabler that will change today's utility business models towards the utility of the future. TE will also affect future energy markets, driven by new technologies, such as, energy automation, distributed solar photovoltaic, distributed energy storage systems (DESS), smart metering, distributed energy resources (DER), and so one. However, current TE models lack the "trusted transactive layer" needed to implement new energy market dynamics capabilities. New concepts of Utility-Grade Blockchain-DLT technologies will be introduced to meet these future TE requirements, introducing a new trusted, transparent and traceable transactive layer to register and authenticate TE grid assets, transactions and participants.

This webinar will introduce new TE-Blockchain concepts and applications, review some regulatory aspects of Blockchain-DLT TE, including the ongoing work of the IEEE P2418.5 Blockchain Energy Standards WG, transactive energy task force.

Slides presented at webinar: A Framework to Quantify Resilience Built from the Customer Perspective
Investments in the electric grid have long focused on improving the reliability of the system to meet the needs of existing and new customers. Customers expect reliable electricity service, but understand the need to suspend that expectation in extreme weather events. Though not ideal, people have grown to realize that high winds can wreak havoc upon exposed power lines, as one example. Having multiple, redundant paths to serve the end customers, or for end-use loads to be served by a plethora of potential sources, is a solution that improves reliability, but it also ultimately improves the resilience of the system. Reliability and resilience are linked and the definitions of each are often reliant upon the other. This webinar will present a summary of modern thinking on the linkage between reliability and resilience before introducing a metric to define system resilience building up from each customer.

description: The $η$ transitions of $Υ(4S,5S)$ into $Υ(1S,2S)$ are studied in the rescattering model by considering the final state interactions above the $B\bar B$ threshold. The width of the $η$ transition of $Υ(4S)$ into $Υ(1S)$ is found to be larger than that of the dipion transition, and the ratio of $Γ(Υ(4S)\toΥ(1S)η)$ to $Γ(Υ(4S)\toΥ(1S)π^+π^-)$ is predicted to be $R_4=1.8{-}4.5$, which is about two orders of magnitude larger than the expectation of the conventional hadronic transition theory, and is supported by the new BaBar measurement. The widths of the $η$ transitions of $Υ(5S)$ are found to be sensitive to the coupling constants $g_{Υ(5S)B^{(*)}B^{(*)}}$ due to a large cancelation between contributions from the $B\bar{B}$, $B^*\bar{B}+c.c.$, and $B^*\bar{B}^*$ channels, and only a rough estimate $Γ(Υ(5S)\toΥ(1S,2S)η)=10{-}200$ KeV can be given. The widths of the $η'$ transitions of $Υ(4S,5S)$ are also discussed, and they could be much smaller than that of the corresponding $η$ transitions mainly due to the tiny phase space.

Part 2: The Smart Grid Emerges Carl Sagan said, "You have to know the past to understand the present". Most everyone knows something about the emerging smart grid. However, not everyone knows the whole story about how and why the smart grid began. It is not only fascinating, but also useful to understand the underlying causes that led to the emergence and continuing development of a smart grid. It's all about changing technologies and business models. In Part 2 of this webinar we will discuss how disruptive new technologies have emerged to produce, store, and manage energy, both on the supply side and the demand side, resulting in much more complexity in the operations of the electric grid. We will examine how information and communications technologies are enabling a smart grid which will ultimately become a cyber physical system.

description: This inquiry engaged principals and vice-principals in a school district in British Columbia to consider how could the Greater Victoria School District No. 61 further support principals and vice-principals who educate children with developmental disabilities. The action research engagement (ARE) model (Rowe et al., 2013) was used to identify existing challenges with professional development and preparation for in-school administrative leadership roles. This thesis shares the experiences of principals and vice-principals and their perceptions as to how their training and knowledge of special needs education impacts children with disabilities. The participants’ shared that: (a) professional development of principals and vice-principals in special education is inadequate for today’s schools; (b) generative dialogue as a professional development tool to address this knowledge gap has mixed results; (c) professional development for principals and vice-principals matters, as they influence special needs education outcomes; and (d) implementing recommendations for change in professional development practice can improve special needs education outcomes. Keywords: professional development, principals, vice-principals, generative dialogue, special needs education, inclusive education, engagement.

In the appropriate limit (large $N$ and large $k$) we find a perfect match.

description: Several models predict the existence of heavy colored resonances decaying to top quarks in the TeV energy range that might be discovered at the LHC. In some of those models, moreover, a sizable charge asymmetry of top versus antitop quarks might be generated. The detection of these exotic resonances, however, requires selecting data samples where the top and the antitop quarks are highly boosted, which is experimentally very challenging. We asses that the measurement of the top quark charge asymmetry at the LHC is very sensitive to the existence of excited states of the gluon with axial-vector couplings to quarks. We use a toy model with general flavour independent couplings, and show that a signal can be detected with relatively not too energetic top and antitop quarks. We also compare the results with the asymmetry predicted by QCD, and show that its highest statistical significance is achieved with data samples of top-antitop quark pairs of low invariant masses.

description: Predicting the permeability of porous media in saturated and partially saturated conditions is of crucial importance in many geo-engineering areas, from water resources to vadose zone hydrology or contaminant transport predictions. Many models have been proposed in the literature to estimate the permeability from properties of the porous media such as porosity, grain size or pore size. In this study, we develop a model of the permeability for porous media saturated by one or two fluid phases with all physically-based parameters using a fractal upscaling technique. The model is related to microstructural properties of porous media such as fractal dimension for pore space, fractal dimension for tortuosity, porosity, maximum radius, ratio of minimum pore radius and maximum pore radius, water saturation and irreducible water saturation. The model is favorably compared to existing and widely used models from the literature. Then, comparison with published experimental data for both unconsolidated and consolidated samples, we show that the proposed model estimate the permeability from the medium properties very well.

Slides presented at webinar: Smart Buildings: Approaches to Promoting Reliability of Smart Grid
To ensure meeting the reliability goals of the Smart Grid, Demand Response programs are offered by electric power utilities with incentives to participating customers in order to match power generation to demand and prevent network instability during peak demand periods. According to the Energy Information Administration's (EIA) 2012 commercial building energy consumption survey (CBECS), large office buildings in the USA with floor area > 9,000 m2 consume annually 180 billion kWh. This comprises of HVAC (cooling 17%, ventilation 25%), lighting (17%) and plug loads comprising of computers, monitors, printers, servers and other electrical loads associated with occupant productivity (17%) and the rest miscellaneous loads. These loads mostly occur, given the occupancy schedule, during the on-peak periods for a summer peaking utility. The need to address Automatic Fault Detection, Diagnosis and System Restoration (AFDDS) becomes important when implementing demand response (DR) strategies whether it is price responsive or resource responsive in office buildings. Should faults occur in the building HVAC system, the kWh energy consumption and KW demand will increase negating the objectives of the Demand Response program. This presentation will cover: definitions for Smart Building HVAC System; Smart Building Facility Management System (SBFMS) Architecture; development of algorithms for AFDDS for an example HVAC system with self-healing and resiliency feature and discuss the results of Smart Voice Activated Speaker experiments with lighting and Plug loads and opportunities for its integration with SBFMS.

description: Plesiadapidae are among the most successful mammal families of the Paleocene, but in North America they disappear abruptly around the Paleocene-Eocene boundary. In contrast, in Europe, they survive a few million years into the Eocene, although only as the genus Platychoerops. The latest Paleocene deposits of Petit-Pâtis (Paris Basin, France) have produced three new plesiadapid species, one of each genus known in Europe: Plesiadapis ploegi, sp. nov., Platychoerops boyeri, sp. nov., and Chiromyoides mauberti, sp. nov. Each of these new species is represented by the very characteristic upper incisor, thus ascertaining their concomitant presence and in particular the spatial and temporal coexistence of Plesiadapis and Platychoerops. Plesiadapis ploegi, sp. nov., is morphologically intermediate between Plesiadapis tricuspidens and Platychoerops russelli, with a tricuspid I1 typical of Plesiadapis and a semimolariform p4 closer to Platychoerops. Its relatively high morphological variability is illustrated. Platychoerops boyeri, sp. nov., has the simple derived I1 of all Platychoerops and a p4 slightly more molariform than that of Ples. ploegi. Chiromyoides mauberti, sp. nov., is closest to Chiromyoides campanicus, but it is smaller and has a particular I1 with multiple posterocones. The systematic position of ‘Platychoerops’ georgei is discussed; this taxon is considered a chimera, and its type I1 belongs to either Chiromyoides or Plesiadapis. Cladistic analysis highlights the paraphyly or polyphyly of all genera of Plesiadapidae. Finally, there is some indication of morphological convergences between European and North American plesiadapids, which may be the result of similar environmental changes on both continents just before the Paleocene-Eocene boundary. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:A73AEFC3-AA93-4EB6-8BD2-E3B15515C6FB SUPPLEMENTAL DATA—Supplemental materials are available for this article for free at www.tandfonline.com/UJVP Citation for this article: De Bast, E., C.

Slides presented at webinar: The Growing Virtual Grid: Non-Wires Alternatives Emerge - Part 1
Inadequate electric grid capacity, reliability, stability, and quality of service have traditionally been addressed by expansion of utility network infrastructure, specifically generation, transmission, and distribution facilities (i.e., wires components). Environmental and other barriers, capital and O&M costs, and functional limitations increasingly inhibit their deployment and operational effectiveness. Nonutility distributed energy resources (DER), which are proliferating at an ever-increasing pace, can be helpful. These include wind generators, solar PV, combined heat and power (CHP), batteries, microgrids, premises energy management systems, smart appliances and equipment, even conservation and energy efficiency. To leverage these, new utility and nonutility monitoring and control systems (e.g., demand side management or DSM, automated distribution management systems or ADMS, and DER management systems or DERMS) are being deployed. Utilization of these and other new components and systems can reduce or even eliminate the need for additional utility wires infrastructure. Learn about these non-wires alternatives (NWA) and how they may change the planning, construction, and operation of the electric utility grid.

Part 1 will cover why NWA are needed

description: Rare finds of ‘pholidophoriform’ fishes from the early Toarcian (Early Jurassic) of Grimmen (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany) are described. The specimens include two isolated dentaries, an isolated braincase, several isolated scales, and an articulated, but incomplete specimen. The isolated bones are described in open nomenclature, whereas the articulated specimen is assigned to a new genus and species. The new taxon, Grimmenichthys ansorgei, gen. et sp. nov., shows an autapomorphy (notch in anteroventral margin of preopercle present) and some synapomorphies (e.g., five or six infraorbital bones; lepisosteoid-type scales, deeper than long in predorsal region, present) of Pholidophoridae s.s. The abdominal vertebrae of Grimmenichthys ansorgei, gen. et sp. nov., are diplospondylous which is also the case in the pholidophorids Pholidoctenus serianus and Malingichthys nimaiguensis, but the pattern of mineralization of the hemichordacentra is different from the condition in both of these pholidophorid species. http://zoobank.org:urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:55B9DFBC-0394-4243-80C2-B55744C156C0 SUPPLEMENTAL DATA—Supplemental materials are available for this article for free at www.tandfonline.com/UJVP Citation for this article: Konwert, M., and M.

"Pretty sleek and fat" : the genesis of forest policy in British Columbia, 1903-1914
Creators: name: Marris, Robert Howard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study examines events surrounding the 1909-1910 Fulton Royal Commission to analyze the early management and exploitation of one provincial resource, timber. Since successive governments in British Columbia have sought to regulate this resource industry, it is desirable to have some understanding of the historical processes by which Crown policy and regulations have been decided upon. Furthermore, those government measures not only cover fields requiring a high level of -technical expertise and an intimate knowledge of the industry concerned, but have also shaped the very structure of those industries. By 1900 the principle of Crown ownership of the province's forest land was well established. Because of this principle, when in the early years of the twentieth centure the forest industry in British Columbia expanded greatly, the Crown was able to ensure that its forest income rose correspondingly. Changes in the terms of access to Crown timber were, in fact, aimed at increasing still further Crown forest revenues, especially after 1905. Having briefly discussed contemporary governmental policies and developments elsewhere on the continent, the thesis then examines the situation in British Columbia to 1909, and the reasons for the appointment of the Fulton Commission in that year. It is suggested that the Commission was set up at that juncture because, having achieved its primary aim of a substantial and steady flow of revenue from Crown forests, the McBride government was unsure of what other forestry goals to pursue. An exposition of themes recurrent at the hearings of the Fulton Commission is undertaken. Themes include security of tenure for those holding cutting-rights to timber on Crown land, conservation, reforestation and the regulation of logging practices, and the provision by the Crown of certain services—such as forest fire protection—to the forest industry. It is argued that the way in which these themes were treated in the Final Report of the Commission was a reflection of the McBride government's overriding concern with maintaining its high flow of forest revenues. In this context it is noted that neither the Commission's Final Report of 1910, nor British Columbia's first Forest Act of 1912, were particularly innovative or unique in terms of contemporary continental practices. The main focus of government forest policy remained fiscal throughout this period, and indeed well beyond it.
Analyzing crosstalk error in the NISQ era

description: Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) hardware has unavoidable noises, and crosstalk error is a significant error source. When multiple quantum operations are executed simultaneously, the quantum state can be corrupted due to the crosstalk between gates during simultaneous operations, decreasing the circuit fidelity. In this work, we first report on several protocols for characterizing crosstalk. Then, we discuss different crosstalk mitigation methods from the hardware and software perspectives. Finally, we perform crosstalk injection experiments on the IBM quantum device and demonstrate the fidelity improvement with the crosstalk mitigation method.

Slides presented at webinar: Measuring the Value of Resilience
What is resilience and how do we measure it? This talk will explore the interconnections between electrical and community resilience, and benchmark efforts to evaluate levels of resilience, as well as endeavors to improve it. It will go into depth on metrics that have been identified that describe portions of resilience, as well as ways to think through the causal, direct and indirect relationships between different metrics. It will also discuss potential paths to quantify the impact of these metrics in monetary terms.

description: A minimum of four adult cave lions (Panthera spelaea) from the late Pleistocene (MIS 3) are reported from Medvedia Cave in the Západné Tatry Mountains, the mountainous region of northern Slovakia in central Europe. A well-preserved fully adult male skeleton is the altitudinally highest recorded skeleton of this species and belongs to one of the largest reported cave lions. This specimen and a previous reported cave lion female from the same site exemplify the evident sexual dimorphism in this species. The fossils document a cave lion range extension into mountain areas during the Last Glacial, most likely in search of hibernating cave bear prey. Although it is generally assumed that the social behavior pattern of cave lions was similar to that of extant lions, we hypothesize that, at least in mountain environments, a solitary or paired existence was more likely for these large extinct felids.
