description: In creating a level playing field that facilitates the deployment of renewable energy technology (RET), the traditional energy policy regime based on eliminating RET’s cost gaps versus fossil energy technology (FET) may be not sufficient. Building on an economic model of energy technology adoption that features network externality, this paper takes an explicit account of the potential importance of network externality in the design of RET adoption policies. We argue that as incumbent FET has established pervasive deployment and installed base advantages within the existing energy production, distribution and service network, it would create a network externality mechanism that makes it difficult to dislodge the dominant FET-based technological regime, leading to an inertia against the adoption of newly emerging RET even if energy policy regulations have been put in place to eliminate RET’s cost disadvantage. We hence propose that a reformulation of RET policy paradigm should consider extending the traditional scheme centring on eliminating cost gap to a new one that corrects for both cost and network externality gaps.

description: Recently, exciton-photon strong coupling has been proposed as a means to control and enhance energy transfer in ensembles of organic molecules. Here, we demonstrate that the exciton dynamics in an archetypal purple bacterial photosynthetic unit, composed of six LH2 antennas surrounding a single LH1 complex, is greatly modified by its interaction with an optical cavity. We develop a Bloch-Redfield master equation approach that accounts for the interplay between the B800 and B850 bacteriochlorophyll molecules within each LH2 antenna, as well as their interactions with the central LH1 complex. Using a realistic parametrization of both photosynthetic unit and optical cavity, we investigate the formation of polaritons in the system, revealing that these can be tuned to accelerate its exciton dynamics by three orders of magnitude. This yields a significant occupation of the LH1 complex, the stage immediately prior to the reaction center, with only a few-femtosecond delay after the initial excitation of the LH2 B800 pigments. Our theoretical findings unveil polaritonic phenomena as a promising route for the characterization, tailoring, and optimization of light-harvesting mechanisms in natural and artificial photosynthetic processes.

description: We present an analysis of the longest timescale microlensing events discovered by the MACHO Collaboration during a 7 year survey of the Galactic bulge. We find 6 events that exhibit very strong microlensing parallax signals due, in part, to accurate photometric data from the GMAN and MPS collaborations. The microlensing parallax fit parameters are used in a likelihood analysis, which is able to estimate the distance and masses of the lens objects based upon a standard model of the Galactic velocity distribution. This analysis indicates that the most likely masses of 5 of the 6 lenses are > 1 Msun, which suggests that a substantial fraction of the Galactic lenses may be massive stellar remnants. This could explain the observed excess of long timescale microlensing events. The lenses for events MACHO-96-BLG-5 and MACHO-98-BLG-6 are the most massive, with mass estimates of M/Msun = 6 +10/-3 and M/Msun = 6 +7/-3, respectively. The observed upper limits on the absolute brightness of main sequence stars for these lenses are < 1 Lsun, so both lenses are black hole candidates. The black hole interpretation is also favored by a likelihood analysis with a Bayesian prior using a conventional model for the lens mass function. We consider the possibility that the source stars for some of these 6 events may lie in the foreground or background of the Galactic bulge, but we find that this is unlikely. Future HST observations of these events can either confirm the black hole lens hypothesis or detect the lens stars and provide a direct measurement of their masses. Future observations of similar events by SIM or the Keck or VLTI interferometers will allow direct measurements of the lens masses for stellar remnant lenses as well.

 Pandionacarus fuscus (Nitzsch, 1818)
 Hosts and distribution. This species was described ex Pandion haliaetus (Linnaeus) (Accipitriformes: Pandionidae) from Germany (Nitzsch 1818) and recorded from the same host all over the world (Philips 2000), including Colombia (Dept. Antioquia, Medellín) (Parra-Henao et al. 2011).
 Remark. The record of this species from Ramphastos vitellinus citreolaemus (Gould) (Piciformes: Ramphastidae) given by Parra-Henao et al. (2011) is almost certainly a contamination. According to Atyeo and Gaud (1981) P. fuscus is strictly associated with P. haliaetus.

description: Current GIS data models have problems representing fuzzy, interconnected data sets, due to problems inherent with the underlying abstractions used for storing and manipulating geographical information. These limitations are becoming problematic when processing traditional knowledge of spatio-temporal patterns. The authors present a new approach to the representation of fuzzy, spatio-temporal knowledge, as found in traditional knowledge systems. The approach used centres on the motif, the folk thesaurus, narratives, and a data model that connects them. The authors suggest modelling spatio-temporal knowledge in a way that maintains some of the strengths of oral depiction, interconnectedness, and precise ambiguity. We discuss how spatio temporal motifs interact with other motifs via shared elements, via narratives and via processes. Finally; we explore how a working data model centred on motifs may be conceptually and logically represented.

description: This paper evaluates large georeferenced corpora, taken from both web-crawled and social media sources, against ground-truth population and language-census datasets. The goal is to determine (i) which dataset best represents population demographics; (ii) in what parts of the world thedatasets are most representative of actual populations; and (iii) how to weight the datasets to provide more accurate representations of underlying populations. The paper finds that the two datasets represent very different populations and that they correlate with actual populations with values of r = 0:60 (social media) and r = 0:49 (web-crawled). Further, Twitter data makes better predictions about the inventory of languages used in each country.

description: Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) continue to grow in size and currently contain several millions of gates. At the same time, research effort is going into higher-level hardware synthesis methodologies for reconfigurable computing that can exploit PLD technology. In this paper, we explore the effectiveness and extend one such formal methodology in the design of massively parallel algorithms. We take a step-wise refinement approach to the development of correct reconfigurable hardware circuits from formal specifications. A functional programming notation is used for specifying algorithms and for reasoning about them. The specifications are realised through the use of a combination of function decomposition strategies, data refinement techniques, and off-the-shelf refinements based upon higher-order functions. The off-the-shelf refinements are inspired by the operators of Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) and map easily to programs in Handel-C (a hardware description language). The Handel-C descriptions are directly compiled into reconfigurable hardware. The practical realisation of this methodology is evidenced by a case studying the third generation mobile communication security algorithms. The investigated algorithm is the KASUM} block cipher. In this paper, we obtain several hardware implementations with different performance characteristics by applying different refinements to the algorithm. The developed designs are compiled and tested under Celoxica's RC-1000 reconfigurable computer with its 2 million gates Virtex-E FPGA. Performance analysis and evaluation of these implementations are included.

description: This study investigates the problems related to identifying MSD risk factors using simple risk assessment tools. The purpose is to study the contribution of situational operational leeway (SOL) indicators as a complementary method to the information provided by simple MSD risk assessment tools and to show how SOL might be a supplement to these established tools. Eight simple tools (OSHA, RULA, REBA, QEC, CE, EAWS, NIOSH, and MAC) were used to evaluate ten workstations in the metallurgy industry. The indicators of SOL, derived from the human-centred activity model, were also explored in the same workstations to define whether SOL is adequate. The results of these two approaches were compared to identify the difference between them. Analysing the risk of MSD on ten workstations using eight simple tools showed the variability of exposure between tools for identical work situations. We analysed the same workstations with the SOL indicators, and disagreement was found in judgment between the two approaches of MSD risk identification. The SOL indicators estimated a lower risk of MSD than the simple tools. This study proposes that SOL indicators might improve the phase of MSD risk identification as a complement to the current simple tools.

description: Current geographic information systems largely represent Western conceptualisations of landscape, and indigenous worldviews are rarely incorporated, resulting in decision making that does not consider all perspectives. The incorporation of New Zealand Maori worldviews in such systems requires a better understanding of the ways that Maori think about land. We use corpus linguistics to address this problem, demonstrating the automated extraction and analysis of content from early newspaper editions in the Maori language using word co-occurrences, which we then explore using an analytical frame developed for New Zealand Maori. We also demonstrate a method for automatically classifying geographic senses of landscape terms in the Maori using machine learning with a bag of words approach with SVM, a particular challenge due to the high degree of polysemy in the language.

description: In this paper we propose a market mechanism for regulated exit of highly emissions intensive power stations from the electricity grid. The starting point is that there is surplus capacity in coal fired power generation in Australia. In the absence of a carbon price signal, black coal generation capacity may leave the market instead of high emitting brown coal power stations. We lay out options for a mechanism of regulated power station closure using a market mechanism. Plants bid competitively over the payment they require for closure, the regulator chooses the most cost effective bid, and payment for closure is made by the remaining power stations in proportion to their carbon dioxide emissions. This could overcome adverse incentive effects for plants to stay in operation in anticipation of payment for closure and solve the political difficulties and problems of information asymmetry that plague government payments for closure and direct regulation for exit. We explore the issues theoretically and provide empirical illustrations. These suggest that closure of a brown coal fired power station in Australia could yield emissions savings at costs that are lower than the social benefits. The analysis in this paper is applicable to other countries.

description: China has realized that for its own sake and from the international community’s perspective, it cannot afford to continue along the conventional path of encouraging economic growth at the expense of the environment. Accordingly, the country has placed ecological goals at the same level of priority as policies on economic, political, cultural and social development. Specifically, to meet the grand goal involves not only capping China’s nationwide coal consumption to let it peak before 2020 and carbon emissions peak around 2030, but also putting in place a variety of flagship programs and initiatives, prices and policies. This paper argues that the 2030 carbon emissions peak goal is ambitious but achievable and concludes by arguing why China’s anti-pollution outcomes this time might be different from the previous ones.

description: Spatial relations are one of the most important components in a location description, conveying information about proximity, direction, adjacency and topology among other things. However, despite being studied for many years, the semantics of spatial relations are still not well understood,particularly given that the use of spatial relations can vary with context. In this paper we investigate whether it is possible to mine the semantics of spatial relations from text, particularly focusing on semantic similarity, but also exploring the extraction of richer semantic informationabout the relationships between spatial relations, with the long term goal of moving towards the automation of the interpretation and generation of locative expressions. We test three similarity methods, including a bag of words technique, with both general and geospatial corpora, andusing word embeddings. We compare the results to ground truth data from human subjects experiments.

description: Monte Carlo simulations are performed on the three-dimensional (3D) Ising model with the 2-1-4 layered perovskite structure as a minimal model for checkerboard charge ordering phenomena in layered perovskite oxides. Due to the interlayer frustration, only 2D long-range order emerges with a finite correlation length along the c axis. Critical exponents of the transition change continuously as a function of the interlayer coupling constant. The interlayer long-range Coulomb interaction decays exponentially and is negligible even between the second-neighbor layers. Instead, monoclinic distortion of a tetragonal unit cell lifts the macroscopic degeneracy to induce a 3D charge ordering. The dimensionality of the charge order in La$_{0.5}$Sr$_{1.5}$MnO$_4$ is discussed from this viewpoint.

description: The economics of global climate mitigation is discussed when there is imperfect knowledge of future climatic changes, of policy effectiveness and of the policy responses by different countries. Uncertainty is accounted for by using heuristics derived from classical decision rules. These heuristics provide plausible policy rules that depend on only limited information. They emphasize the possibility of “getting it wrong” in terms of the appropriate scale of policy response and from policy failure itself. The minimax rule or Precautionary Principle, which targets “worst case” situations, is not useful unless policies are effective with certainty. However the widespread presumption that policy action is warranted if climate-induced losses without action are “large" relative to costs of policy can be justified using minimax regret reasoning. The global analysis is extended to individual national decision-making when nations jointly play a game against nature with policy spillovers. Simultaneous moves game solutions as well as heuristics are provided and indicate how policy actions are best determined for individual countries rather than for a global authority.

description: The topological method for the reconstruction of dynamics from time series [K. Mischaikow, M. Mrozek, J. Reiss, A. Szymczak. Construction of Symbolic Dynamics from Experimental Time Series, Physical Review Letters, 82 (1999), 1144-1147] is reshaped to improve its range of applicability, particularly in the presence of sparse data and strong expansion. The improvement is based on a multivalued map representation of the data. However, unlike the previous approach, it is not required that the representation has a continuous selector. Instead of a selector, a recently developed new version of Conley index theory for multivalued maps [B. Batko and M. Mrozek. Weak index pairs and the Conley index for discrete multivalued dynamical systems, SIAM J. Applied Dynamical Systems 15 (2016), 1143-1162], [B.Batko. Weak index pairs and the Conley index for discrete multivalued dynamical systems. Part II: properties of the Index, SIAM J. Applied Dynamical Systems 16 (2017), 1587-1617] is used in computations. The existence of a continuous, single-valued generator of the relevant dynamics is guaranteed in the vicinity of the graph of the multivalued map constructed from data. Some numerical examples based on time series derived from the iteration of Hénon type maps are presented.

description: Transformation-based learning has been successfully employed to solve many natural language processing problems. It has many positive features, but one drawback is that it does not provide estimates of class membership probabilities. In this paper, we present a novel method for obtaining class membership probabilities from a transformation-based rule list classifier. Three experiments are presented which measure the modeling accuracy and cross-entropy of the probabilistic classifier on unseen data and the degree to which the output probabilities from the classifier can be used to estimate confidences in its classification decisions. The results of these experiments show that, for the task of text chunking, the estimates produced by this technique are more informative than those generated by a state-of-the-art decision tree.

Radiation reaction in various dimensions

description: We discuss the radiation reaction problem for an electric charge moving in flat space-time of arbitrary dimensions. It is shown that four is the unique dimension where a local differential equation exists accounting for the radiation reaction and admitting a consistent mass-renormalization (the Dirac-Lorentz equation). In odd dimensions the Huygens principle does not hold; as a result, the radiation reaction force depends on the whole past history of a charge (radiative tail). We show that the divergence in the tail integral can be removed by the mass renormalization only in the 2+1 theory. In even dimensions higher than four, divergences can not be removed by a renormalization.

description: Quantities characterizing temporal property, e.g. power density, coherence, and time lag, can be defined and calculated directly in the time domain without using the Fourier transformation. Spectral hardness, variability duration, and correlation between different characteristic quantities on different time scale can be studied in the time domain as well. The temporal analysis technique in the time domain is a powerful tool, particularly in studying rapid variability on short time scales (or in high frequencies). Results of studying variabilities of X-rays from Cyg X-1 with the analysis technique in the time domain and RXTE data reveal valuable clues to understanding production and propagation processes of X-rays and structure of accretion disk in the black hole system.

description: We studied the phase transition of the $\pm J$ Heisenberg model with and without a random anisotropy on four dimensional lattice $L\times L\times L\times (L+1)$ $(L\leq 9)$. We showed that the Binder parameters $g(L,T)$'s for different sizes do not cross even when the anisotropy is present. On the contrary, when a strong anisotropy exists, $g(L,T)$ exhibits a steep negative dip near the spin-glass phase transition temperature $T_{\rm SG}$ similarly to the $p-$state infinite-range Potts glass model with $p \geq 3$, in which the one-step replica-symmetry-breaking (RSB) occurs. We speculated that a one-step RSB-like state occurs below $T_{\rm SG}$, which breaks the usual crossing behavior of $g(L,T)$.

Elastohydrodynamische Rollreibung in Stahl-Keramik-Kontakten = Elastohydrodynamic rolling friction in steel-ceramic-contacts
Creators: name: Dauber, Olaf
Publisher: name: Universität Karlsruhe (TH)
Year: 2001

description: Reibung ist eine der grundlegendsten mechanischen Wechselwirkungen in den Funktionskontakten von Wirkflächenpaaren. Dennoch ist es bis heute nicht gelungen, unabhängig vom Aggregatzustand der wechselwirkenden Grundelemente, einen einheitlichen Ansatz zur Beschreibung der Reibung zu finden. So wird trockene Wälzreibung vielfach über die Deformation der in Kontakt stehenden Oberflächen beschrieben, wohingegen hydrodynamische Wälzreibung über die Schubspannungen im Schmierfilm beschrieben wird. Im Falle der elastohydrodynamischen Schmierung bildet bis heute der hydrodynamische Ansatz die Grundlage aller Betrachtungen, trotz der Tatsache, dass bei diesem Schmierungszustand sowohl die Effekte der hydrodynamischen Wälzreibung (tragender Schmierfilm) als auch der trockenen Wälzreibung (Oberflächendeformation) auftreten. Während für den Fall eines hohen Gleitanteils mit diesem Ansatz gute Ergebnisse erzielt werden konnten, gelang dies für den Zustand des reinen Rollens bzw. bei marginalem Gleitanteil nicht. Ausgehend von experimentellen Untersuchungen wird im Rahmen der Arbeit aufgezeigt, dass entgegen der gängigen Praxis eine Beschreibung der elastohydrodynamischen Wälzreibung im Zustand des reinen Rollens, bzw. bei marginalem Gleitanteil in Anlehnung an den Ansatz zur Beschreibung der trockenen Wälzreibung sehr gute Ergebnisse liefern kann. D.h. ein elastohydrodynamischer Wälzkontakt ist im Zustand des reinen Rollens, bzw. bei marginalem Gleitanteil in Bezug auf die entstehende Reibung als trockener Wälzkontakt zu betrachten! Zur Überprüfung des entwickelten Modells werden exakte Vermessungen der Oberflächendeformation im Kontakt vorgestellt, die mit Hilfe von Dünnschichtsensoren durchgeführt wurden, die am Institut für Maschinenkonstruktionslehre und Kraftfahrzeugbau der Universität Karlsruhe (TH) entwickelt und hergestellt wurden. Da diese Sensortechnologie, ähnlich wie optische Messverfahren, aufgrund der extremen Bedingungen in elastohydrodynamisch geschmierten Kontakten stark fehlerbehaftet ist, wird ein vollständiges Korrekturverfahren unter Berücksichtigung aller Einflüsse für die erhaltenen Messsignale erarbeitet und ausführlich dargestellt. Im Hinblick auf die großen Fortschritte, die in letzten Jahren auf dem Gebiet der strukturkeramischen Werkstoffe erzielt wurden, und dem damit verbundenen verstärkten Einsatz dieses Werkstoffs als Konstruktionswerkstoff werden die Betrachtungen an hybriden Stahl­Keramik­Kontakten durchgeführt.

 Hosts and distribution. This species was described ex Tinamus major saturatus (Griscom) (Tinamiformes: Tinamidae) from Panama (Darien) (Gaud et al. 1972). The same authors recorded this mite ex Crypturellus noctivagus (Wied-Neuweid) from Colombia, but this species of bird is restricted to Eastern Brazil (Clements et al. 2011).
 Remark. According to Gaud et al. (1972), the record from C. noctivagus is perhaps an accidental contamination.

description: Quantum chemical approaches are very much significant in the field of corrosion chemistry to understand the structure-property relationship of various organic molecules as corrosion inhibitors. Here is the adsorption behavior of three organic azo-dyes, viz. 6-((4-(diethylamino)-2-methylphenyl)diazenyl)benzo[de]isochromene-1,3-dione (named as Dye-1); 4-[6-[2-[4-(N,N-Diethylamino)-2-methylphenyl]diazenyl]-1,3-dioxo-1H-benz[de]isoquinolin-2(3H)-yl]-N-(2-thiazolyl)benzenesulfonamide (named as Dye-2); 4-[6-[2-[4-(N,N-Diethylamino)-2-methylphenyl]diazenyl]1,3-dioxo-1H-benz[de]isoquinolin-2(3H)-yl]-N-(2-pyrimidinyl)benzenesulfonamide (named as Dye-3) on the rutile TiO2 and ZnO surfaces have been explored via quantum chemical approach, i.e. density functional theory (DFT), local reactive sites analysis and molecular dynamic (MD) simulation studies. Global relativities of the dye molecules have been explored by calculating the energy of the frontier molecular orbitals, energy difference (ΔΕ), electronegativity (χ), electron affinity (A), softness (σ), and hardness (η) like quantum chemical parameters. Furthermore, MD simulation study has been performed to comprehend the adsorption behaviour as well as the adsorption configuration of three selective dye molecules on TiO2 and ZnO surfaces mimicking the real adsorption and surface protection phenomenon.
HIGHLIGHTSThe mechanisms of adsorption behaviour of three organic azo dyes on the TiO2 and ZnO surfaces have been explored at the atomistic level.Fukui indices analysis revealed the presence of locally reactive sites responsible for adsorption.MD simulation results revealed the adsorption of dye molecules onto the metal oxide surfaces occurs in a horizontal fashion.The horizontal adsorption of dye molecules undergoes both physisorption and chemisorption on the metal oxide surface leading to greater surface coverage.

description: We study the modification of low temperature properties of quantum magnets such as magnetization, heat capacity, energy spectrum, and densities of condensed and noncondensed quasiparticles (triplons) due to anisotropies in the framework of mean-field based approach. We show that in contrast to exchange anisotropy (EA) interaction, Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interaction modifies the physics dramatically. Particularly, it changes the sign of the anomalous density in the whole range of temperatures. Its critical behavior is slightly modified also by the EA. We have found that the shift of the critical temperature of phase transition (or crossover caused by DM interaction) is positive and significant. Using the experimental data on the magnetization of the compound TlCuCl$_3$, we have found optimal values for the strengths of EA and DM interactions. The spectrum of the energy of low lying excitations has also been investigated and found to develop a linear dispersion similar to Goldstone mode with a negligibly small anisotropy gap.

Techniques applied to the design of the TRIUMF magnet poles
Creators: name: Oraas, Sherman Roy
Publisher: name: TRIUMF
Year: 2016

description: This report presents some of the techniques used in designing the sector-focused magnet for the TRIUMF cyclotron. An empirical method is given for calculating the magnet pole tip shape required to contain a 500 MeV beam of H- ions. The method is good only for small changes in the shape. In the test case, the generated pole tip had a spiral angle correct to within ±5 deg, and a hill angle correct to ±1 deg. The average field was found to be isochronous to ±70 G. An empirical solution to the problem of finding the field inside the magnet air gap is also given. The magnetic field resulting from a given pole tip contour is calculated at a point on the median surface by finding the perpendicular distance from the point to the edge of the pole and comparing this to an experimentally measured curve of field against distance. Fields generated by this technique have their averages correct to within 70 G and flutter to within 8%. Again, previous knowledge of similar pole tips is assumed. The method and results of calculating the pole edge position tolerances for the latest model magnet are given. The field strengths inside the steel return yoke as obtained from a series of flux measurements are also presented. Finally, it is shown that a simple approximation to the magnetic circuit of the magnet predicts the coil induction required to an accuracy of only 25%.
