description: The division of a social group into subgroups with opposing opinions, which we refer to as opinion disparity, is a prevalent phenomenon in society. This phenomenon has been modeled by including mechanisms such as opinion homophily, bounded confidence interactions, and social reinforcement mechanisms. In this paper we study a complementary mechanism for the formation of opinion disparity based on higher-order interactions, i.e., simultaneous interactions between multiple agents. We present an extension of the planted partition model for uniform hypergraphs as a simple model of community structure and consider the hypergraph SIS model on a hypergraph with two communities where the binary ideology can spread via links (pairwise interactions) and triangles (three-way interactions). We approximate this contagion process with a mean-field model and find that for strong enough community structure, the two communities can hold very different average opinions. We determine the regimes of structural and infectious parameters for which this opinion disparity can exist and find that the existence of these disparities is much more sensitive to the triangle community structure than to the link community structure. We show that the existence and type of opinion disparities are extremely sensitive to differences in the sizes of the two communities.

description: One of the major results from the study of gamma-ray bursts with the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has been the confirmation that several emission components can be present in the energy spectrum. Here we reanalyse the spectrum of GRB 080825C using data from the Fermi LAT and GBM instruments. Although fairly weak, it is the first gamma-ray burst detected by the Fermi-LAT. We improve on the original analysis by using the LAT Low Energy (LLE) events covering the 30-00 MeV band. We find evidence of an additional component above the main emission peak (modelled using a Band function) with a significance of 3.5 $σ$ in 2 out of the 4 time bins. The component is well fitted by a Planck function, but shows unusual behaviour: the peak energy increases in the prompt emission phase, reaching energies of several MeV. This is the first time such a trend has been seen, and implies that the origin of this component is different from those previously detected. We suggest that the two spectral components likely arise in different regions of the outflow, and that strong constraints can be achieved by assuming one of them originates from the photosphere. The most promising model appears to be that the high-energy peak is the result of photospheric emission in a Poynting flux dominated outflow where the magnetisation increases with time.

description: Abstract

Language variations refer to regional, social, or contextual differences in the ways that a particular language is used. Every society or ethnic group has its own language patterns and rules that differ from other societies or groups. This thesis focuses on the appearance of language variation in the Batak Toba community based on social structure. Language variations that appear in the Batak Toba community are the result of the existence of a social structure in the Batak Toba, known as Dalihan Na Tolu. This thesis will explain why hula-hula, dongantubu, and boru do not speak in the same way. They have different language characteristic. Boru will not be able to use the language characteristic used by hula-hula or dongantubu, and vice versa. From some of the speech samples that I have been taken and analyzed, there are 29 verses spoken by hula-hula, which contain the giving of blessings, 16 verses spoken by dongantubu, which show cooperation or show a connection and unity with each other, and 16 verses spoken by boru, which show respectful and humble. If the verses used contain blessings, it is certain that the verses comes from hula-hula. If the content of the verses used cooperation or shows a connection and unity with each other, it is certain that the verses are used by fellow dongantubu. If the verses used are respecrful and humble, it is certain that the verses come from boru.

description: Accessibility to healthcare and rehabilitation services for children with a disability (CWD) is essential to improving their health and wellbeing. However, access to the services, especially in many settings in developing countries with scarcity of resources, is still limited. As part of a qualitative study exploring impacts of caring for CWD on mothers or female caregivers and their coping strategies, this paper describes barriers for access to healthcare and rehabilitation services for CWD in Belu district, Indonesia. One-on-one, in-depth interviews were conducted with 22 mothers or female caregivers of CWD. Participants were recruited using a combination of purposive and snowball sampling techniques. These were supplemented with interviews with two staff of disability rehabilitation centers in Belu to understand any additional barriers. Data analysis was guided by a qualitative data analysis framework. Our analysis identified that lack of affordability of healthcare services (high costs and low financial capacity of mothers) was the key barrier for access to healthcare and rehabilitation services CWD. Religious or faith-based factors, such as being a non-Catholic (Belu is predominantly Catholic), converting from Catholic to other religions, and the belief in children’s disability condition as “God’s will”, were also influencing factors for lack of access to the services. Shortage of staff, distrust in the therapy skills of staff at rehabilitation centers, and unavailability of appropriately trained healthcare professionals were structural or system-related barriers. The findings indicate the need for government-owned and run disability rehabilitation centers (not faith-based), the provision of fully subsidised health insurance to provide free services, and the provision of qualified therapists and healthcare professionals (to build trust) in Belu and other similar settings in Indonesia.
Youth-Perceived Variability in Harsh Parenting from 8-14 Years as a Predictor of Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms at 15 Years
Creators: name: Folker, Ann E
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

description: Harsh parenting behaviors have been shown to predict internalizing and externalizing symptoms in children. These symptoms of psychopathology can persist into adolescence, which can negatively impact social, academic, and emotional functioning. Most studies, however, focus on between-person differences in average harsh parenting, rather than within-person changes in harsh parenting over time. This variability in harsh parenting has a potentially unique impact on the development of adolescent psychopathology. The present study aims to understand if child/adolescent-perceived variability in harsh parenting over time (intraindividual variability; IIV) predicts higher levels of internalizing and externalizing symptoms in mid-adolescence, while controlling for average levels of harsh parenting. IIV in child/adolescent-perceived harsh parenting was quantified using the coefficient of variation. Path analysis results indicated that IIV in child-perceived harsh parenting from ages 8-14 was a reliable construct, rather than random error. Further, more IIV in child-perceived mother harsh parenting predicted higher externalizing, but not internalizing, symptoms in adolescence (at age 15). Results were replicated using Residual Dynamic Structural Equation Modeling (RDSEM), a new method that models variability around one’s predicted slope within the model. Implications of this work include a novel way to conceptualize and measure aspects of the parent-child/adolescent relationship that predict individual differences in symptoms of psychopathology in mid-adolescence.

description: Massive black hole (BH) mergers will be key targets of future gravitational wave and electromagnetic observational facilities. In order to constrain BH evolution with the information extracted from BH mergers, one must take into account the complex relationship between the population of merging BHs and the global BH population. We analysed the high-resolution cosmological radiation-hydrodynamics simulation OBELISK, run to redshift $z=3.5$, to study the properties of the merging BH population, and its differences with the underlying global BH population in terms of BH and galaxy properties. In post-processing, we calculated dynamical delays between the merger in the simulation at the resolution limit and the actual coalescence well below the resolution scale. We find that merging BHs are hosted in relatively massive galaxies with stellar mass $M_\ast\gtrsim10^9\,M_\odot$. Given that galaxy mass is correlated with other BH and galaxy properties, BH mergers tend to also have a higher total BH mass and higher BH accretion rates than the global population of main BHs. These differences generally disappear if the merger population is compared with a BH population sampled with the same galaxy mass distribution as merger hosts. Galaxy mergers can temporarily boost the BH accretion rate and the host's star formation rate, which can remain active at the BH merger if sub-resolution delays are not taken into account. When dynamical delays are taken into account, the burst has generally faded by the time the BHs merge. BH spins are followed self-consistently in the simulation under the effect of accretion and BH mergers. We find that merging BHs have higher spins than the global population, but similar or somewhat lower spins compared to a mass-matched sample. For our sample, mergers tend to decrease the spin of the final BH remnant.

description: The ETI commissioned the HEMS & ICT Market project to undertake an in depth study and assessment of HEMS along with what data, processes and controls andpotential additional services enabled via a linked ICT system.The project delivers key insights and findings in terms of potential future offerings and capabilities of these products along with market assessment information.The aim of the project was to characterise the existing market for HEMS and ICT systems and to quantify the market/commercial opportunities for future HEMS and ICT propositions for both consumer and business.

The High Frequency Appliance Disaggregation Analysis (HFADA) project builds upon work undertaken in the Smart Systems and Heat (SSH) programme delivered by theEnergy Systems Catapult for the ETI, to refine intelligence and gain detailed smart home energy data.The project analysed in depth datafrom five homes that trialed the SSH programme’s Home Energy Management System (HEMS) to identify which appliances are present within a building and when they are in operation.The main goal of the HFADA project was to detect human behaviour patterns in order to forecast the home energy needs of people in the future. In particular the project delivered a detailed set of data mining algorithms to help identify patterns of building occupancy and energy use within domestic homes from water, gas and electricity data.

The ETI collected utility meter and other data (e.g. room temperatures, humidity, and HEMS control data) from five dwellings over a period of six months. Using the collected data, work was conducted to evaluate different machine learning algorithms, research appropriate data features and calibrations thereof, and test the “art of the possible”.Thework sought not only to understand historical human activity within the building, but also to estimate probabilities of future hot water usage, occupancy and heating needs. This report presents the data quality issues present in the first 10 of 30 hard drives on which data from these homes was stored.

description: Van der Waals interactions with transition metal dichalcogenides was shown to induce strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in graphene, offering great promises to combine large experimental flexibility of graphene with unique tuning capabilities of the SOC that can rotate spin by moving electrons or vice versa. Here, we probe SOC-driven band splitting and electron dynamics in graphene on WSe$_2$ by measuring ballistic transverse magnetic focusing. We found a clear splitting in the first focusing peak whose evolution in charge density and magnetic field is well reproduced by calculations using SOC strength of ~13 meV and no splitting in the second peak that indicates stronger Rashba SOC. A possible suppression of electron-electron scatterings was also found in temperature dependence measurement. Further, we found that Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations exhibit SOC strength of ~3.4 meV, suggesting that it probes different electron dynamics, calling for new theory. Our study demonstrates an interesting possibility to exploit ballistic electron motion pronounced in graphene for emerging spin-orbitronics.

description: This work considers an extension of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs sector by a real, scalar singlet field, including applicability to a dark matter (DM) model with the addition of a Yukawa coupling to a Dirac fermion. The collider signatures and constraints on the mixed two-Higgs scenario are determined, including limits from Higgs production signals and exclusion searches, as well as constraints arising from the Higgs total and invisible widths. As there is overwhelming Higgs data which is consistent with a SM scenario, the case in which an additional scalar has evaded detection is further explored in the context of Higgs precision measurement. The discovery reach and prospective signatures of the model at a proposed linear collider are investigated, with particular focus on the Higgs triple coupling, and di-Higgs production processes.

Analysis of Low-Induction Rotors for Increased Power Production
Creators: name: Rees, Jack E
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

description: Wind turbine aerodynamics are characterized by several coefficients, most notably the thrust, power, and axial induction, which is the fractional decrease of the free stream wind speed to the rotor plane. Current turbine designs aim to maximize these coefficients to reach what is generally considered to be maximum aerodynamic efficiency. Such rotors are referred to as a Betz-optimal rotor. This thesis examines a new method called “Low-Induction Rotors (LIR)” for increasing aerodynamic efficiency by decreasing the thrust loading of the blade. A family of low induction rotors (LIRs) can be derived from a reference wind turbine (RWT) by using the root bending moment as a constraint. Using the root bending moment of the RWT and imposed loading, new rotor lengths are derived. The family of low induction rotors are characterized by lower thrust loading across the blade. Prandtl’s bell shaped loading distribution was used to define the distribution of spanwise thrust since it is better fit for long-thin airfoils. Momentum Theory and Blade Element and Momentum theory were used to solve for the rotor power coefficient in two different ways, either including or excluding tip-losses. The family of rotors was then analyzed to determine power output. It was found that more power was produced as the rotor length increases and thrust loading decreased. The National Renewable Energy Lab’s AeroDyn software was used to conduct cp-λ sweeps on 6 selected rotors (128m, 137m, 147m, 156m, 167m, and 177m) to determine how power output was affected by changes in wind speed. The cp-λ analysis showed that the longer rotors with lower induction were less sensitive to changes in wind speed. The low induction rotors minimized a change in the coefficient of power as the pitch and tip speed ratio were changed. Low induction rotors are a promising field of wind energy, while maintaining the forces are the turbine hub, longer rotors with lower aerodynamic loading can be used to generate a more stable power supply.

description: We introduce a numerical linked cluster expansion for square-lattice models whose building block is an L-shape cluster. For the spin-1/2 models studied in this work, we find that this expansion exhibits a similar or better convergence of the bare sums than that of the (larger) square-shaped clusters, and can be used with resummation techniques (like the site- and bond-based expansions) to obtain results at even lower temperatures. We compare the performance of weak- and strong-embedding versions of this expansion in various spin-1/2 models, and show that the strong-embedding version is preferable because of its convergence properties and lower computational cost. Finally, we show that the expansion based on the L-shape cluster can be naturally used to study properties of lattice models that smoothly connect the square and triangular lattice geometries.

description: A work of Manton showed how skymions may be viewed as maps between riemannian manifolds minimising an energy functional, with topologically non-trivial global minimisers given precisely by isometries. We consider a generalisation of this energy functional to gauged skyrmions, valid for a broad class of space and target 3-manifolds where the target is equipped with an isometric $G$-action. We show that the energy is bounded below by an equivariant version of the degree of a map, describe the associated BPS equations, and discuss and classify solutions in the cases where $G={\rm U}(1)$ and $G={\rm SU}(2)$.

description: In this work, we investigate the relationship between the geometrical properties, the photon sphere, the shadow, and the eikonal quasinormal modes of electrically charged black holes in 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. Quasinormal modes are complex frequency oscillations that are dependent on the geometry of spacetime and have significant applications in studying black hole properties and testing alternative theories of gravity. Here, we focus on the eikonal limit for high frequency quasinormal modes and their connection to the black holes geometric characteristics. To study the photon sphere, quasinormal modes, and black hole shadow, we employ various techniques such as the WKB method in various orders of approximation, the Poschl-Teller potential method, and Churilova's analytical formulas. Our results indicate that the real part of the eikonal quasinormal mode frequencies of test fields are linked to the unstable circular null geodesic and are correlated with the shadow radius for an Charged Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet 4D black hole. Furthermore, we found that the real part of quasinormal modes, the photon sphere and shadow radius have a lower value for charged black holes in 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity compared to black holes without electric charge and those of static black holes in general relativity. Additionally, we explore various analytical formulas for the photon spheres and shadows, deducing an Churilova's approximate formula for the black hole shadow radius of the Charged Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet 4D black hole, which arises from its connection with the eikonal quasinormal modes.

description: We report on the 1.6 GHz (18 cm) VLBI observations of the unresolved, steady TeV source HESS J1943+213 located in the Galactic plane, performed with the European VLBI Network (EVN) in 2014. Our new observations with a nearly full EVN array provide the deepest image of HESS J1943+213 at the highest resolution ever achieved, enabling us to resolve the long-standing issues of the source identification. The milliarcsecond-scale structure of HESS J1943+213 has a clear asymmetric morphology, consisting of a compact core and a diffuse jet-like tail. This is broadly consistent with the previous e-EVN observations of the source performed in 2011, and re-analyzed in this work. The core component is characterized by the brightness temperature of $\gtrsim1.8 \times 10^9$ K, which is typical for low-luminosity blazars in general. Overall, radio properties of HESS J1943+213 are consistent with the source classification as an "extreme high-frequency-peaked BL Lac object". Remarkably, we note that since HESS J1943+213 does not reveal any optical or infrared signatures of the AGN activity, it would never be recognized and identified as a BL Lac object, if not its location close to the Galactic plane where the High Energy Stereoscopic System has surveyed, and the follow-up dedicated X-ray and radio studies triggered by the source detection in the TeV range. Our results suggest therefore a presence of an unrecognized, possibly very numerous population of particularly extreme HBLs, and simultaneously demonstrate that the low-frequency VLBI observations with high-angular resolution are indispensable for a proper identification of such objects.

description: The WISE satellite has detected hundreds of millions sources over the entire sky. Classifying them reliably is however a challenging task due to degeneracies in WISE multicolour space and low levels of detection in its two longest-wavelength bandpasses. Here we aim at obtaining comprehensive and reliable star, galaxy and quasar catalogues based on automatic source classification in full-sky WISE data. This means that the final classification will employ only parameters available from WISE itself, in particular those reliably measured for a majority of sources. For the automatic classification we applied the support vector machines (SVM) algorithm, which requires a training sample with relevant classes already identified, and we chose to use the SDSS spectroscopic dataset for that purpose. By calibrating the classifier on the test data drawn from SDSS, we first established that a polynomial kernel is preferred over a radial one for this particular dataset. Next, using three classification parameters (W1 magnitude, W1-W2 colour, and a differential aperture magnitude) we obtained very good classification efficiency in all the tests. At the bright end, the completeness for stars and galaxies reaches ~95%, deteriorating to ~80% at W1=16 mag, while for quasars it stays at a level of ~95% independently of magnitude. Similar numbers are obtained for purity. Application of the classifier to full-sky WISE data, flux-limited to 16 mag (Vega) in the 3.4 μm channel, and appropriate a posteriori cleaning allowed us to obtain reliably-looking catalogues of star and galaxy candidates. However, the sources flagged by the classifier as `quasars' are in fact dominated by dusty galaxies but also exhibit contamination from sources located mainly at low ecliptic latitudes, consistent with Solar System objects.

description: Systems based on automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology can provide important functionality in computer assisted language learning applications. This is a young but growing area of research motivated by the large number of students studying foreign languages. Here we propose a Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based method to detect mispronunciations. Exploiting the specific dialog scripting employed in language learning software, HMMs are trained for different pronunciations. New adaptive features have been developed and obtained through an adaptive warping of the frequency scale prior to computing the cepstral coefficients. The optimization criterion used for the warping function is to maximize separation of two major groups of pronunciations (native and non-native) in terms of classification rate. Experimental results show that the adaptive frequency scale yields a better coefficient representation leading to higher classification rates in comparison with conventional HMMs using Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients.

description: The long-term resilient property of ecosystems has been quantified as ecological robustness (RECO) in terms of the energy transfer over food webs. The RECO of resilient ecosystems favors a balance of food webs' network efficiency and redundancy. By integrating RECO with power system constraints, the authors are able to optimize power systems' inherent resilience as ecosystems through network design and system operation. A previous model used on real power flows and aggregated redundant components for a rigorous mapping between ecosystems and power systems. However, the reactive power flows also determine power systems resilience; and the power components' redundancy is part of the global network redundancy. These characteristics should be considered for RECO-oriented evaluation and optimization for power systems. Thus, this paper extends the model for quantifying RECO in power systems using real, reactive, and apparent power flows with the consideration of redundant placement of generators. Recalling the performance of RECO-oriented optimal power flows under N-x contingencies, the analyses suggest reactive power flows and redundant components should be included for RECO to capture power systems' inherent resilience.

description: The ETI commissioned the HEMS & ICT Market project to undertake an in depth study and assessment of HEMS along with what data, processes and controls andpotential additional services enabled via a linked ICT system.The project delivers key insights and findings in terms of potential future offerings and capabilities of these products along with market assessment information.The aim of the project was to characterise the existing market for HEMS and ICT systems and to quantify the market/commercial opportunities for future HEMS and ICT propositions for both consumer and business.

The High Frequency Appliance Disaggregation Analysis (HFADA) project builds upon work undertaken in the Smart Systems and Heat (SSH) programme delivered by theEnergy Systems Catapult for the ETI, to refine intelligence and gain detailed smart home energy data.The project analysed in depth datafrom five homes that trialed the SSH programme’s Home Energy Management System (HEMS) to identify which appliances are present within a building and when they are in operation.The main goal of the HFADA project was to detect human behaviour patterns in order to forecast the home energy needs of people in the future. In particular the project delivered a detailed set of data mining algorithms to help identify patterns of building occupancy and energy use within domestic homes from water, gas and electricity data.

The ETI collected utility meter and other data (e.g. room temperatures, humidity, and HEMS control data) from five dwellings over a period of six months. Using the collected data, work was conducted to evaluate different machine learning algorithms, research appropriate data features and calibrations thereof, and test the “art of the possible”.Thework sought not only to understand historical human activity within the building, but also to estimate probabilities of future hot water usage, occupancy and heating needs.

The described work resulted in Baringa and ASI jointly developing several Python scripts and notebooks for ETI. This document sets out to explain the purpose of the various scripts and notebooks required to rerun the analysis, the relationship between the various files and explain how to run the code.The document starts with an overview of the workflow and code, before diving into a detailed description of each section of the workflow and the corresponding code.

description: We introduce and explore new heavy Higgs scenarios in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with explicit CP violation, which have important phenomenological implications that may be testable at the LHC. For soft supersymmetry-breaking scales M_S above a few TeV and a charged Higgs boson mass M_H+ above a few hundred GeV, new physics effects including those from explicit CP violation decouple from the light Higgs boson sector. However, such effects can significantly alter the phenomenology of the heavy Higgs bosons while still being consistent with constraints from low-energy observables, for instance electric dipole moments. To consider scenarios with a charged Higgs boson much heavier than the Standard Model (SM) particles but much lighter than the supersymmetric particles, we revisit previous calculations of the MSSM Higgs sector. We compute the Higgs boson masses in the presence of CP violating phases, implementing improved matching and renormalization group (RG) effects, as well as two-loop RG effects from the effective two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) scale M_H+ to the scale M_S. We illustrate the possibility of non-decoupling CP-violating effects in the heavy Higgs sector using new benchmark scenarios named CPX4LHC.

description: We study the massless flows described by the staircase model introduced by Al.B. Zamolodchikov through the analytic continuation of the sinh-Gordon S-matrix, focusing on the renormalisation group flow from the tricritical to the critical Ising model. We show that the properly defined roaming limits of certain sinh-Gordon form factors are identical to the form factors of the order and disorder operators for the massless flow. As a by-product, we also construct form factors for a semi-local field in the sinh-Gordon model, which can be associated with the twist field in the ultraviolet limiting free massless bosonic theory.

description: We study the effect of multiple parton radiation to Higgs boson plus jet production at the LHC, by applying the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) factorization formalism to resum large logarithmic contributions to all orders in the expansion of the strong interaction coupling. We show that the appropriate resummation scale should be the jet transverse momentum, rather than the partonic center of mass energy which has been normally used in the TMD resummation formalism. Furthermore, the transverse momentum distribution of the Higgs boson, particularly near the lower cut-off applied on the jet transverse momentum, can only be reliably predicted by the resummation calculation which is free of the so-called Sudakov-shoulder singularity problem, present in fixed-order calculations.

High-density symmetry energy from subthreshold hyperon production in heavy-ion collisions

description: The hyperon dynamics in heavy-ion collisions near threshold energy has been investigated within the quantum molecular dynamics transport model. The isospin and momentum dependent hyperon-nucleon potential and the threshold energy correction on the hyperon elementary cross section are included in the model. It is found that the high-density symmetry energy is dependent on the isospin ratios $Σ^{-}/Σ^{+}$ and $Ξ^{-}/Ξ^{0}$, in particular in the domain of high kinetic energies. The isospin diffusion in heavy-ion collisions influences the neutron/proton ratio in the high-density region. The $Σ^{-}/Σ^{+}$ ratio depends on the stiffness of symmetry energy, in particular at the beam energy below the threshold value (E$_{th}$=1.58 GeV), i.e., the kinetic energy spectra of the single ratios, excitation functions and energy spectra of the double ratios in the isotopic reactions of $^{108}$Sn + $^{112}$Sn, $^{112}$Sn + $^{112}$Sn, $^{124}$Sn + $^{124}$Sn and $^{132}$Sn + $^{124}$Sn. The double strangeness ratio $Ξ^{-}/Ξ^{0}$ weakly depends on the symmetry energy because of the hyperon-hyperon collision mainly contributing the $Ξ$ production below the threshold energy (E$_{th}$ = 3.72 GeV).

description: We have recently implemented a new version of the quasiparticle self-consistent GW (QSGW) method in the ecalj package released at http://github.com/tkotani/ecalj. Since the new version of the ecalj is numerically stable and accurate compared to the previous versions, we can perform calculations easily without being bothered with setting input parameters. Here we examine its ability to describe energy band properties, e.g., band-gap energy, eigenvalues at special points and effective mass, for variety of semiconductors and insulators. We treat C, Si, Ge, Sn, SiC (in 2H, 3C, and 4H structures), (Al, Ga, N)x(N, P, As, Pb), (Zn, Cd, Mg)x(O, S, Se, Te), SiO2, HfO2, ZrO2, SrTiO3, PbS, PbTe, MnO, NiO, and HgO. We propose that a hybrid QSGW method, where we mix 80 percent of QSGW and 20 percent of LDA, gives universally good agreement with experiments for these materials.
