A Benders decomposition approach for solving a two-stage local energy market problem under uncertainty
Creators: name: García-Muñoz, Fernando

Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2023

description: New consumer-centric electricity market schemes have emerged as an alternative to manage the energy balancing locally in distribution networks with high distributed energy resources (DERs) penetration. Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading has become an attractive scheme for reducing user and distribution system operators (DSO) costs through the energy surplus exchange between the energy community users, where the uncertainty of DERs and the consumption are challenging issues that require suitable managing for a proper market operation. This article presents a novel two-stage stochastic mixed-integer linear programming model to address the scheduling day-ahead problem of an energy community operating under a P2P energy trading scheme. The formulation proposed minimizes the expected community cost considering the network limitations, ensuring fair trading in the local energy market (LEM), and allowing the prosumers to act as buyers or sellers depending on their load consumption and self-generation. In order to reduce the shared information by consumers/prosumers that trade energy, the proposed model is decomposed into a master problem (MP) and subproblems (SPs) to manage the network constraints and the market requirements, respectively. With this purpose, the Benders decomposition approach is implemented using the recently introduced Strengthened Benders cuts to address the binary variables related to the market and battery operation in the SPs. The model and the algorithm are tested in the 69-bus radial distribution system, considering from 3 to 39 agents trading energy to measure the model scalability. In this analysis, the algorithm convergence shows that the proposed methodology reduces the LEM’s shared information without increasing the energy community cost.

description: We present multi-wavelength measurements of the thermal, chemical, and cloud contrasts associated with the visibly dark formations (also known as 5-$μ$m hot spots) and intervening bright plumes on the boundary between Jupiter's Equatorial Zone (EZ) and North Equatorial Belt (NEB). Observations made by the TEXES 5-20 $μ$m spectrometer at the Gemini North Telescope in March 2017 reveal the upper-tropospheric properties of 12 hot spots, which are directly compared to measurements by Juno using the Microwave Radiometer (MWR), JIRAM at 5 $μ$m, and JunoCam visible images. MWR and thermal-infrared spectroscopic results are consistent near 0.7 bar. Mid-infrared-derived aerosol opacity is consistent with that inferred from visible-albedo and 5-$μ$m opacity maps. Aerosol contrasts, the defining characteristics of the cloudy plumes and aerosol-depleted hot spots, are not a good proxy for microwave brightness. The hot spots are neither uniformly warmer nor ammonia-depleted compared to their surroundings at $p<1$ bar. At 0.7 bar, the microwave brightness at the edges of hot spots is comparable to other features within the NEB. Conversely, hot spots are brighter at 1.5 bar, signifying either warm temperatures and/or depleted NH$_3$ at depth. Temperatures and ammonia are spatially variable within the hot spots, so the precise location of the observations matters to their interpretation. Reflective plumes sometimes have enhanced NH$_3$, cold temperatures, and elevated aerosol opacity, but each plume appears different. Neither plumes nor hot spots had microwave signatures in channels sensing $p>10$ bars, suggesting that the hot-spot/plume wave is a relatively shallow feature.

Grade one word recognition : a multimodal approach
Creators: name: Cozens, Meghan Beth
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The purpose of this paper is to apply what I have learned in studying the benefits of integrating the arts into a literacy unit plan for primary students. The unit I developed uses a multimodal approach to teach students to recognize high frequency words that they encounter in songs introduced each week as part of their Language Arts curriculum. Fine Arts activities are integrated into the daily schedule in manageable and authentic ways. The high frequency words are used to create art work, drama and movement. The song is then reviewed each day in new and engaging ways. By the end of the week the students are familiar with the new words so they can read and incorporate them into their literacy activities. After implementing the unit in my own classroom, I could see the positive reaction the students had to the Fine Arts activities. All students, even those of lower abilities, were excited and engaged and seemed to be able to recognize the target words more easily.

description: Self-assembled dendronized CdS nanoparticles have been attracting considerable attention because of their photoluminescence properties depending on annealing treatments. In this study, their annealing-induced self-assembled structure was investigated via scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM); thin foil specimens of self-assembled dendronized CdS nanoparticles were prepared by ultramicrotomy and the STEM images revealed their ordered structure and the effect of the annealing treatment. In addition, a structural order belonging to the P213 space group was identified via an autocorrelation analysis. The results indicated that this structural order could be achieved only over a few tens of nanometers.

description: Does Spinoza accept finite individuals as really existing things? Or does he endorse the thesis that the substance is the only thing with real existence? This paper argues that his monism does not rule out the existence of individuals that have dependent, yet real existence. Spinoza defends a form of priority monism, taking the substance to be the foundation of all finite individuals, and thereby rejects existence monism. On his view, finite individuals are “power parts”: being founded in the substance, they have their active power from it. The paper argues for this thesis by analyzing Spinoza’s definition of parts. Moreover, it pays close attention to his functional individuation of parts that makes it possible to individuate different types of “power parts” at different levels.

description: We propose an approach to build `full-frequency' quasiparticle spectra from conservation of a set of static expectation values. These expectation values define the moments of the spectral distribution, resulting in an efficient and systematically improvable expansion. By computing these initial moment constraints at the coupled-cluster level, we demonstrate convergence in both correlated state-specific and full spectral quantities, while requiring a fraction of the effort of traditional Green's function approaches. Tested across the GW100 benchmark set for charged excitation spectra, we can converge frontier excitations to within the inherent accuracy of the CCSD approximation, whilst obtaining a simultaneous representation of the entire excitation spectrum at all energy scales.

description: We derived the formulae of central differentiation for the finding of the first and second derivatives of functions given in discrete points, with the number of points being arbitrary. The obtained formulae for the derivative calculation do not require direct construction of the interpolating polynomial. As an example of the use of the developed method we calculated the first derivative of the function having known analytical value of the derivative. The result was examined in the limiting case of infinite number of points. We studied the spectral characteristics of the weight coefficients sequence of the numerical differentiation formulae. The performed investigation enabled one to analyze the accuracy of the numerical differentiation carried out with the use of the developed technique.

title: A Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Study of Chondritic Diamond and Silicon Carbide
Creators: name: Russell, Sara
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1993

description: A suite of identically prepared, acid-resistant residues from the three chondrite classes have been analysed for carbon and nitrogen by stepped combustion. Diamond and silicon carbide were found to be ubiquitous components of the residues along with some other minor carbonaceous phases. The diamond and silicon carbide were associated with isotope anomalies suggesting that they are presolar circumstellar condensates.

 The diamond nitrogen content ranges from 2000 to 13000 ppm, and the δ13C from -32 to -38‰. These two variables are systematically related to petrologic type, with the high petrologic types containing diamond with a heavier carbon isotopic composition and lower nitrogen content. However, the δ15N, at -351±8‰, was found to be indistinguishable between meteorite samples, suggesting that the variation in nitrogen content cannot be explained by metamorphic degassing of the diamond. A more likely explanation is that the more nitrogen rich crystals are more prone to metamorphic destruction that the nitrogen poor grains, perhaps implying that the grains are a mixture of nitrogen rich and nitrogen poor grains that may originate in different sources.

 Silicon carbide was found to have a similar 12C/13C ratio in all the meteorites in which its abundance was >10ppm of the whole rock, with 12C/13C =36.6±0.5; this is interpreted as evidence that a similar mixture of grains were incorporated into each parent body. SiC poor, higher petrologic type meteorites have lower δ13C values. The combustion dynamics of the grains differ from meteorite to meteorite, suggesting that processing since accretion has caused the SiC grains of separate meteorite classes to have different characteristics.

 The enstatite chondrite Abee (EH4) appears to be free of carbonaceous phases containing isotopic anomalies but contains isotopically “normal” diamond and silicon carbide. Diamond and sihcon carbide may have been stable condensates in some regions of the early solar nebula.

 Overall the isotope data suggest that presolar grains, from a mixture of sources, were well mixed in the meteorite parent body region of the early solar nebula before accretion. Subsequent metamorphism has however caused the grains isolated from different meteorite classes to be distinguishable.

description: We have observed 14 Herbig Ae/Be sources with the long-baseline near-IR Palomar Testbed Interferometer, All except two sources are resolved at 2.2 um, with angular sizes generally <5 mas. We determine the size scales and orientations of the 2.2 um emission using various models: uniform disks, Gaussians, uniform rings, flat accretion disks with inner holes, and flared disks with puffed-up inner rims; 7 objects display significantly inclined morphologies, generally compatible with the outer disk geometries inferred from millimeter interferometric observations, implying that HAEBE disks are not significantly warped. Using the derived inner disk sizes and inclinations, we compute the spectral energy distributions for two simple physical disk models, and compare these with observed SEDs compiled from the literature and new near-IR photometry. While geometrically flat accretion disk models are consistent with the data for the earliest spectral types in our sample (MWC 297, V1685 Cyg, and MWC 1080), the later-type sources are explained better through models incorporating puffed-up inner disk walls; this may indicate different accretion mechanisms for early and late-type Herbig Ae/Be stars.

description: In this work, we study the influence of the average crystallite size and dopant oxide on the reducibility of CeO2-based nanomaterials. Samples were prepared from commercial Gd2O3-, Sm2O3- and Y2O3-doped CeO2 powders by calcination at different temperatures ranging between 400 and 900C and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and BET specific surface area. The reducibility of the samples was analyzed by temperature-programmed reduction and in situ dispersive X-ray absorption spectroscopy techniques. Our results clearly demonstrate that samples treated at lower temperatures, of smallest average crystallite size and highest specific surface areas, exhibit the best performance, while Gd2O3-doped ceria materials display higher reducibility than Sm2O3- and Y2O3-doped CeO2.

description: Nine European technology universities constitute the Unite! alliance, a network that creates a new model for a virtual and physical European interuniversity campus through close cooperation, physical and virtual mobility of members, joint programmes, communities that support teaching innovation, and open and entrepreneurial innovation networks. The Metacampus virtual campus platform is an important aspect of this framework. All participants in the Unite! community can join at the Metacampus, which coexists alongside other universities' virtual campuses. It must become a valuable and useful tool for a wide range of users who are used to very different tools and processes, which is only one of the many difficulties it faces. The Moodle platform was chosen as the base for the work, and it was decided to maximise its features while minimising the amount of new innovations required to achieve the goals. After four years, the number of users who have registered and taken part in the
activities that have been suggested enables us to draw the conclusion that the path is the right one for handling a challenge like the design and execution of a multi-university virtual campus.
Bethe-ansatz studies of energy level crossings in the one-dimensional Hubbard model

description: Motivated by Heilmann and Lieb's work, we discuss energy level crossings for the one-dimensional Hubbard model through the Bethe ansatz, constructing explicitly the degenerate eigenstates at the crossing points. After showing the existence of solutions for the Lieb--Wu equations with one-down spin, we solve them numerically and construct Bethe ansatz eigenstates. We thus verify all the level crossings in the spectral flows observed by the numerical diagonalization method with one down-spin. For each of the solutions we obtain its energy spectral flow along the interaction parameter U. Then, we observe that some of the energy level crossings can not be explained in terms of U-independent symmetries. Dynamical symmetries of the Hubbard model are fundamental for identifying each of the spectral lines at the level crossing points. We show that the Bethe ansatz eigenstates which degenerate at the points have distinct sets of eigenvalues of the higher conserved operators. We also show a twofold permanent degeneracy in terms of the Bethe ansatz wavefunction.

description: Deeds J, Amirhbahman A, Norton SA, Bacon LC. 2020. A hydrogeomorphic and condition classification for Maine, USA, lakes. Lake Reserv Manage. 36:122–138. The water quality of lakes is influenced by natural landscape features, anthropogenic watershed activities, and local-scale characteristics of lake basins. Lake assessment for water quality standards is enhanced by a lake classification framework that allows for comparison of lakes of similar types and the creation of benchmark water quality values from reference lakes. Conventional lake classifications, such as those based on trophic state alone, commonly do not incorporate the natural features of the landscape or lake-specific characteristics that influence lake condition. We present a hydrogeomorphic (HGM)-based lake classification, tested with linear mixed effects modeling, to determine which natural features of lakes and their watersheds show the greatest influence on lake condition. A priori classification schemes were created for model testing using combinations of various HGM features. Model strength was evaluated based on ability to predict mean lake total phosphorus and specific conductivity values. Aggregated Level IV Ecoregions stratified by 2 categories of maximum lake depth offered the most robust lake classification. We defined condition classes of reference, intermediate, and altered lakes based on the gradient of developed watershed area that is unique to each lake class. This approach to lake classification has implications for any region or study, as HGM variables relevant to the population of lakes of interest may be tested for efficacy in a variety of schemes to suit the goals of the classification.

description: We present the results of near-infrared imaging and low-resolution near- infrared spectroscopy of low mass objects in the NGC 1333 molecular cloud. A JHK survey of an 11.4' x 11.7' area of the northern cluster was conducted to a sensitivity of K < 16 mag. Using near-infrared magnitudes and colors from this and previously published surveys, twenty-five brown dwarf candidates were selected toward the high extinction cloud core. Spectra in the K band were obtained and comparisons of the depths of water vapor absorption bands in our candidate objects with a grid of dwarf,subgiant, and giant standards were made to derive spectral types. These data were then used to derive effective temperatures and stellar luminosities which, when combined with theoretical tracks and isochrones for pre-main sequence objects, resulted in estimates for their masses and ages. The models suggest a median age for the sample of < 1 Myr with substellar masses for at least 9 of the candidates including the x-ray flare source ASR 24. Surface gravities have been estimated for the brown dwarf candidates and, for a given spectral type,found to resemble more closely dwarfs than giants. Using the near-infrared imaging data and age estimates from the spectroscopic sample, an extinction-limited sample in the northern cluster was defined. Consistent with recent studies of other young clusters, this sample exhibits an accretion disk frequency of 0.75 +-0.20 and a mass spectrum slope across the hydrogen-burning limit of alpha < 1.6 where dN/dM ~ M^-(alpha).

description: We investigate high frequency price dynamics in foreign exchange market using data from Reuters information system (the dataset has been provided to us by Ols en & Associates). In our analysis we show that a naïve approach to the definition of price (for example using the spot midprice) may lead to wrong conclusions on price behavior as for example the presence of short term covariances for returns. For this purpose we introduce an algorithm which only uses the non arbitrage principle to estimate real prices from the spot ones. The new definition leads to returns which are i.i.d. variables and therefore are not affected by spurious correlations. Furthermore, any apparent information (defined by using Shannon entropy) contained in the data disappears.

description: High fidelity radio interferometric data calibration that minimises spurious spectral structure in the calibrated data is essential in astrophysical applications, such as 21 cm cosmology, which rely on knowledge of the relative spectral smoothness of distinct astrophysical emission components to extract the signal of interest. Existing approaches to radio interferometric calibration have been shown to impart spurious spectral structure to the calibrated data if the sky model used to calibrate the data is incomplete. In this paper, we introduce BayesCal: a novel solution to the sky-model incompleteness problem in interferometric calibration, designed to enable high fidelity data calibration. The BayesCal data model supplements the a priori known component of the forward model of the sky with a statistical model for the missing and uncertain flux contribution to the data, constrained by a prior on the power in the model. We demonstrate how the parameters of this model can be marginalised out analytically, reducing the dimensionality of the parameter space to be sampled from and allowing one to sample directly from the posterior probability distribution of the calibration parameters. Additionally, we show how physically motivated priors derived from theoretical and measurement-based constraints on the spectral smoothness of the instrumental gains can be used to constrain the calibration solutions. In a companion paper, we apply this algorithm to simulated observations with a HERA-like array and demonstrate that it enables up to four orders of magnitude suppression of power in spurious spectral fluctuations relative to standard calibration approaches.

description: This paper describes the Participatory Impact Assessment and Learning Approach (PIALA) which was developed and piloted by IFAD. The approach aims to produce rigorous qualitative and quantitative evidence that can be used not only to identify and assess the impacts of development projects, but also to promote learning and improved understanding of the associated processes and pathways of socio-economic change. Illustrated with cases from Viet Nam and Ghana, the paper assesses the value of the approach for collaborative learning and reporting for IFAD’s country programming and global policy engagement, as well as for the wider development community.

description: This study describes the shifting age and sex patterns of populations across rural and urban sectors in sub‑Saharan Africa from 1980 to 2015. It examines the relationship between the slowdown in urbanization and rural and urban age structure gaps, sex composition and dependency ratios. Findings show that rural-urban migration of young adults plays a key role in explaining dependency ratios and sex compositional gaps in rural and urban areas. Results also highlight the value of taking into account local age and sex structures to better prepare for the demographic dividend and other consequences of demographic shifts in sub-Saharan Africa.
Magnetic Dual Chiral Density Wave: A Candidate Quark Matter Phase for the Interior of Neutron Stars

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: In this review, we discuss the physical characteristics of the magnetic dual chiral density wave (MDCDW) phase of dense quark matter and argued why it is a promising candidate for the interior matter phase of neutron stars. The MDCDW condensate occurs in the presence of a magnetic field. It is a single-modulated chiral density wave characterized by two dynamically generated parameters: the fermion quasiparticle mass $m$ and the condensate spatial modulation $q$. The lowest Landau level quasiparticle modes in the MDCDW system are asymmetric about the zero energy, a fact that leads to the topological properties and anomalous electric transport exhibited by this phase. The topology makes the MDCDW phase robust against thermal phonon fluctuations, and as such, it does not display the Landau-Peierls instability, a stapled feature of single-modulated inhomogeneous chiral condensates in three dimensions. The topology is also reflected in the presence of the electromagnetic chiral anomaly in the effective action and in the formation of hybridized propagating modes known as an axion-polaritons. Taking into account that one of the axion-polaritons of this quark phase is gapped, we argued how incident $\gamma$-ray photons can be converted into gapped axion-polaritons in the interior of a magnetar star in the MDCDW phase leading the star to collapse, a phenomenon that can serve to explain the so-called missing pulsar problem in the galactic center.
Vanishing cycles, plane curve singularities, and framed mapping class groups

description: Let f be an isolated plane curve singularity with Milnor fiber of genus at least 5. For all such f, we give (a) an intrinsic description of the geometric monodromy group that does not invoke the notion of the versal deformation space, and (b) an easy criterion to decide if a given simple closed curve in the Milnor fiber is a vanishing cycle or not. With the lone exception of singularities of type $A_n$ and $D_n$, we find that both are determined completely by a canonical framing of the Milnor fiber induced by the Hamiltonian vector field associated to f. As a corollary we answer a question of Sullivan concerning the injectivity of monodromy groups for all singularities having Milnor fiber of genus at least 7.
description: Version 2 includes the new Corollary C answering Sullivan's question along with other minor improvements

description: Cash transfer and agricultural support programmes are both used to improve nutrition outcomes in developing countries. This paper examines previous reviews of the impact of these programmes and compares the evidence between the two. The paper finds that, although there are about the same number of programmes of each type, many more papers have been written about the cash transfer programmes than the agricultural programmes. While evidence suggests that both programme types improved the quality of food consumption, the paper concludes that both types show weak evidence of improvements in anthropometric outcomes.

An investigation in The Write Path : a writing resource for secondary English teachers
Creators: name: Gordon, Kimberly
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: At the secondary level, essay writing skills are valued and related to academic success. This study investigates the implementation of a resource entitled The Write Path that targets persuasive essay writing skills. This resource was created by the Surrey School District and is currently used and available for purchase in the district, but no studies have been conducted to evaluate its impact on students' writing. Data were collected from grade eight students over a period of four months. Students completed an initial writing sample and then the lessons from the resource were implemented. Afterwards, students wrote a final composition which was compared to their initial writing sample. Data indicate that this resource has a positive impact on students who have adequate knowledge of the English language. Many students' writing showed impressive improvement, exceeding expectations in skills related to knowledge of essay structure and persuasive techniques. However, not all participants showed significant improvement. The data suggest that this resource is less effective for students who struggle with English skills. Presumably, students must have certain prerequisite skills to work within their zone of proximal development in order for the lessons in this resource to have a positive impact on students' writing.
