Powerful Power Curves: A production-proven, open-source schema for wind turbine power curves
Creators: name: Clark, Thomas
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: wind, energy, digitalisation, power, curve

description: Digitalisation and seamless data exchange are vital for reducing time-to-market for new wind turbines, time-to-development of new wind farms, and workflow friction in collaboration between internal and external teams. However, power curve documents contain highly sensitive data - access to which should be carefully managed for good commercial and technical reasons. These seemingly opposed considerations can be reconciled by adopting a so-called schema - a publicly available description of the data and its structure - and (pending appropriate access and permissions) delivering power curve data to other stakeholders which conforms to the schema. Using a schema, which is essentially a promise that “once it’s appropriate, we will give you data that looks like this”, stakeholders external to turbine OEMs such as researchers, consultants and wind farm engineers can proceed to develop and test automated tools, analyses and integrations which will reliably work, without being initially given access to large quantities of sensitive data. This poster introduces an open-source JSONSchema to do exactly this. The schema has evolved over two years in production and has described a wide variety of power curves from 8 major turbine manufacturers. It handles many corner cases involving metadata, multiple operation modes, different kinds of cut in/out, and variable parameters like air density. The talk will demonstrate some uses and benefits of the approach, including automated reporting, human-based QC, and generation of web forms for data entry.

description: In the admixed Nd0.75Ho0.25Al2 system, magnetic moments of Nd and Ho occupying the same crystallographic site are antiferromagnetically coupled and the chosen stoichiometry displays a magnetic compensation behavior (Tcomp of about 24 K) in all orientations. In the vicinity of Tcomp, the conduction electron polarization (CEP) assumes the role of a soft ferromagnet exchange coupled to a pseudo-antiferromagnet comprising Nd/Ho moments, resulting in an asymmetry in the hysteretic (M-H) loop, i.e., the notion of an exchange bias field (Hexch). Across Tcomp, the CEP contribution reverses sign, and in consonance, the asymmetry in the M-H loop also undergoes a phase reversal. Interestingly, the width of the M-H loop shows a divergence, followed by a collapse on approaching Tcomp from either end. The observed behavior confirms a long standing prediction based on a phenomenological model for ferrimagnetic systems. The field induced changes across Tcomp leave an imprint of a quasi-phase transition in the heat capacity data. Magneto-resistance (ΔR / R vs T) has an oscillatory response, in which the changes across Tc and Tcomp can be recognized.

description: We provide an in-depth and thorough treatment of the validity of the rotating-wave approximation (RWA) in an open quantum system. We find that when it is introduced after tracing out the environment, all timescales of the open system are correctly reproduced, but the details of the quantum state may not be. The RWA made before the trace is more problematic: it results in incorrect values for environmentally-induced shifts to system frequencies, and the resulting theory has no Markovian limit. We point out that great care must be taken when coupling two open systems together under the RWA. Though the RWA can yield a master equation of Lindblad form similar to what one might get in the Markovian limit with white noise, the master equation for the two coupled systems is not a simple combination of the master equation for each system, as is possible in the Markovian limit. Such a naive combination yields inaccurate dynamics. To obtain the correct master equation for the composite system a proper consideration of the non-Markovian dynamics is required.

Embodied encounters : Afro-Latin dance and Dutch cultural identity
Creators: name: Beljaars, Ine Johanna Sebastiana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: This study investigated Afro-Latin partner dance’s cultural history and politics in the Netherlands. The first chapter discusses the background of the study, its academic and social relevance, the theories, and methods that inform this research and the researcher’s positionality. Through archival research and oral history interviews, I present a cultural history of the Dutch salsa scene from its development from the mid-1970s to the turn of the millennium in chapter two, which does so by tracing the transoceanic connections and cultural exchanges that shaped the rise of salsa as a popular dance form in the Netherlands. Drawing on cultural anthropology, dance and performance studies, critical whiteness studies, cultural studies, and feminist, critical race, queer, and postcolonial theory, the following three ethnographic chapters explore questions related to identity, belonging, racialization, and postcoloniality through the lens of Afro-Latin partner dance. Chapter three explores the function of dance in negotiating various aspects of identity, including gender, race/ethnicity, class, and age. It examines Afro-Latin partner dance as a platform for inclusion to counter feelings of exclusion in everyday life. By analyzing exotification and discourses of desire, it also investigates reproductions of racial and gender biases and erotic racism within the dance scene. Chapter four analyzes the meanings and reproduction of “Dutchness” among racialized dancers. Through affect and queer theory, it investigates processes of identification and disidentification and sheds light on mechanisms of exclusion as well as strategies of resistance. Chapter five probes racial subjectivity and national identification among White dancers and theorizes the choreography of progressive Whiteness by examining projections of exotic otherness and analyzes the practices and processes involved in the reproduction of the White subject. The chapter concludes by discussing the limitations of existing theories of disidentification when applied to majoritarian subjects. Overall, by raising questions about negotiating identity and belonging in a postcolonial context and underscoring the necessity of deconstructing normative categories such as Dutchness through engaging with race as a critical aspect of cultural citizenship, this study offers insights into how cultural practices can reflect, reinforce, and challenge societal power structures.

description: Il testo riproduce la conferenza tenuta da Henry Frendo a Urbino il 14 luglio 2012 (si veda nelle pagine precedenti Nerik Mizzi honoured in Urbino, che è la comunicazione che ne è stata data nei giornali maltesi). La traduzione è della dott. Maria Luisa Biccari. The text reproduces the conference held by Henry Frendo, located in Urbino on July 14, 2012(see previous pages Nerik Mizzi honoured in Urbino, which is the communication made from the Maltese newspapers). The translation is done by Maria Luisa Biccari. Il 14 luglio 2012, a margine della pubblicazione del volume di Henry Frendo, Europe & Empire. Culture, Politics and Identity in Malta and the Mediterranean, Valletta, Midsea 2012 – e riprendendo un rapporto scientifico (del resto mai interrotto) fra Urbino e Malta – si è tenuta nella Sala Serpieri del Collegio Raffaello di Urbino una lezione su “Enrico Mizzi, Primo Ministro, studente urbinate”. L’autore, Henry Frendo (che già nel 2009 aveva pubblicato per Studi Urbinati il saggio su Colonialismo e nazionalismo nel Mediterraneo. La lotta partitica a Malta durante l’occupazione inglese tra assimilazione e resistenza) parte dalla collocazione di Enrico Mizzi nel quadro della lotta di Malta per la sua indipendenza dalla Gran Bretagna (che poi otterrà nel 1964) culminata anche simbolicamente nella prima metà del sec. XX nella c.d. “questione della lingua”, nel contrasto cioè fra l’inglese imposto dai dominatori e la “lingua maltese”, “quel caratteristico dialetto che suona dalle bocche delle donne così dolce e scorrevole, ma rotto e frastagliato dalla forte aspirazione semitica, accompagnato e quasi ricinto dalla sonora e melodiosa cadenza italiana” (E. Mizzi, Malta italiana, 1912). L’a. ha tratteggiato gli aspetti più rilevanti degli anni “italiani” e in particolare “urbinati” (1907-1912) della formazione del politico e poi Primo Ministro maltese Enrico Mizzi (laureatosi a Urbino appunto, nel 1912: che sono argomento di un capitolo, il IV, del volume recentemente pubblicato), e ha indugiato sui motivi di rilevanza politica e tecnico-giuridica della sua tesi di laurea il cui argomento (un auspicato nuovo contratto giornalistico di cui si sentiva necessità nel 1912) risulta di grande significato sia per la vita e le vicende del Primo Ministro, sia per il periodo storico italiano.

description: This study employed grain dynamic models to examine the density distribution of debris discs, and discussed the effects of the collisional time-intervals of asteroidal bodies, the maximum grain sizes, and the chemical compositions of the dust grains of the models, in order to find out whether a steady out-moving flow with an 1/R profile could be formed. The results showed that a model with new grains every 100 years, a smaller maximum grain size, and a composition C400 has the best fit to the 1/R profile because: (1) the grains have larger values of beta on average,therefore, they can be blown out easily; (2) the new grains are generated frequently enough to replace those have been blown out. With the above two conditions, some other models can have a steady out-moving flow with an approximate 1/R profile. However, those models in which new grains are generated every 1000 years have density distributions far from the profile of a continuous out-moving flow. Moreover, the analysis on the signatures of planets in debris discs showed that there are no indications when a planet is in a continuous out-moving flow, however, the signatures are obvious in a debris disc with long-lived grains.

Paper-based nanobiosensors for cortisol detection
Creators: name: Wang, Xiaotong
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Psychological stress in our daily life affects many biomarkers, such as cortisol. Monitoring cortisol might permit real-time evaluation of psychological stress. To address this need, we propose a low-cost, portable device for cortisol detection by integrating cortisol antibodies with GO(graphene oxide) on a conductive paper substrate. Current paper-based electronics and biosensors mainly use paper as a passive substrate to transport fluid. This effort is attempting to leverage the multiscale, porous architecture of cellulosic fibers to tune their electrochemical properties. Tuning the morphology of paper and adding smart functionalization with electroactive materials will lead to a substrate that has a high surface-to-volume ratio between the conductive fibers and fluid entrapped in the open pores. In this work, we prepared a nanoporous conductive paper to further our understanding of cellulose-based matrices containing conductive polymer and graphene oxide (GO). For this study, the four types of fabricated paper included softwood, 50% softwood: 50% nanofibrillated cellulose, nanofibrillated cellulose, and Whatman paper. For the preparation of the conductive paper, we developed a scalable process of functionalizing conductive paper substrates via drop-casting of PEDOT:PSS (poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate). PEDOT:PSS- coated Whatman paper showed the largest conductivity at 0.51S/cm, the conductivity of PEDOT:PSS-coated NFC paper is 0.42S/cm. Unlike conductivity, CP (specific capacitance) and CSC (charge storage capacity) depend on the total content of PEDOT:PSS inside the paper cellulose matrix. The CSC and Cp of NFC paper-based electrodes are about 4 times higher than Whatman paper-based electrodes. In order to bind anti-cortisol antibody on paper electrodes, we attached GO to the detect pad, and modified it with EDC (1-Ethyl-3-(3- dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide)-NHS (N-Hydroxysuccinimide). Then, we tested our working electrodes in PBS (phosphate-buffered saline solution) spiked with cortisol. When we used GO-EDC-NHS modified biosensor as working electrode and in cortisol-PBS solution, the anti-cortisol antibodies on paper electrodes can bind with cortisol antigens in PBS. While the concentration of cortisol phosphate buffer saline solution increases, the biosensor shows changes in the imaginary part of the impedance and phase angle. To model the reaction between cortisol and anti-cortisol, we use ZsimpWin software to fit the EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy) and Bode plot to tailor the reaction circuit. This paper-based nano biosensor enables the detection of cortisol and paves the way toward economically and flexible paper-based biosensors by using techniques such as dip coating. Scientifically understanding how the nanoscale porosity of paper affects electrochemical performance has the potential to enable scalable applications in health monitoring.

description: Ein diklusiver (digitaler und inklusiver) naturwissenschaftlicher Unterricht bietet spezifische Potenziale, aber auch Barrieren bezüglich der Gestaltung von Lehr-Lern-Prozessen. Im Rahmen der Lehrkräftebildung müssen diese Bedarfe zunächst einmal identifiziert und anschließend adressiert werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund analysiert der Beitrag den aktuellen theoretischen und empirischen Forschungsstand und arbeitet Leerstellen sowie Qualifizierungsbedarfe von (angehenden) Lehrkräften heraus. Dabei wird das TPACK-Modell (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) vor dem Hintergrund der Bedarfe eines diklusiven naturwissenschaftlichen Unterrichts sowie der damit verbundenen Anforderungen an Lehrkräfte ausdifferenziert. Der Beitrag mündet in einer Darstellung und Erörterung des erweiterten Modells (ITPACK-NW). Das Kompetenzmodell wurde für den Kontext inklusiver Lerngruppen entwickelt und besteht aus den Elementen des inklusionspädagogischen, fachdidaktischen und technologiebezogenen Wissens sowie deren Überschneidungsbereiche. Abschließend werden Potenziale für den Einsatz innerhalb der Lehrkräftebildung und Forschung aufgezeigt. Abstract Digital and inclusive science education, referred to as "diclusive", has the potential to offer specific benefits. However, there are also barriers to designing effective teaching and learning processes. Therefore, it is essential to identify these needs in teacher education and address them accordingly. This article analyzes the current state of theoretical and empirical research to identify gaps and the qualification needs of (prospective) teachers in the context of inclusive science education. The TPACK model (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) is discussed in light of the needs of inclusive science education and the associated requirements for teachers. The article concludes with a presentation and discussion of the extended model, ITPACK-NW. This competency model is developed specifically for the context of inclusive learning groups and includes elements of inclusive education, subject didactics, and technology-related knowledge, as well as their overlapping areas. Finally, the article highlights the potential use of ITPACK-NW in teacher education and research.

Monotonically convergent optimal control theory of quantum systems with spectral constraints on the control field

description: We propose a new monotonically convergent algorithm which can enforce spectral constraints on the control field (and extends to arbitrary filters). The procedure differs from standard algorithms in that at each iteration the control field is taken as a linear combination of the control field (computed by the standard algorithm) and the filtered field. The parameter of the linear combination is chosen to respect the monotonic behavior of the algorithm and to be as close to the filtered field as possible. We test the efficiency of this method on molecular alignment. Using band-pass filters, we show how to select particular rotational transitions to reach high alignment efficiency. We also consider spectral constraints corresponding to experimental conditions using pulse shaping techniques. We determine an optimal solution that could be implemented experimentally with this technique.

Climate change and the shifting cost-benefit calculus of economic development in the Russian Far East and High Arctic
Creators: name: Barrett-Lennard, Lee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Russia’s northern geography is being transformed by climate change. Concurrently, the Russian state is investing significant resources in its northern lands and is encouraging a large migration to populate its Far East and High Arctic for the purposes of settlement and development. While the Russian state has historically championed land use as a crucial aspect of the country’s economy, geopolitical power, and national security, little scholarship has attempted to analyze how the Russian state’s interests in its northern regions are changing as climate change alters key features of this territory. This paper posits that cost-benefit analysis (CBA) offers a useful approach through which to understand the state’s shifting relationship to its northern regions. The paper argues that climate change is altering the cost-benefit calculus of economic development in the Russian Far East and High Arctic, where it is increasing benefits and reducing costs for the state. This approach has explanatory power both in regards to the Russian state’s historical relationship with these regions as well as the state’s re-engagement with these spaces in recent years.

description: We present the results of large-area CO J=3-2 emission mapping of three nearby field galaxies, NGC 628, NGC 3521, and NGC 3627, completed at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope as part of the Nearby Galaxies Legacy Survey. These galaxies all have moderate to strong CO J=3-2 detections over large areas of the fields observed by the survey, showing resolved structure and dynamics in their warm/dense molecular gas disks. All three galaxies were part of the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey sample, and as such have excellent published multi-wavelength ancillary data. These data sets allow us to examine the star formation properties, gas content, and dynamics of these galaxies on sub-kiloparsec scales. We find that the global gas depletion times for dense/warm molecular gas in these galaxies is consistent with other results for nearby spiral galaxies, indicating this may be independent of galaxy properties such as structures, gas compositions, and environments. Similar to the results from the THINGS HI survey, we do not see a correlation of the star formation efficiency with the gas surface density consistent with the Schmidt-Kennicutt law. Finally, we find that the star formation efficiency of the dense molecular gas traced by CO J=3-2 is potentially flat or slightly declining as a function of molecular gas density, the CO J=3-2/J=1-0 ratio (in contrast to the correlation found in a previous study into the starburst galaxy M83), and the fraction of total gas in molecular form.

description: Supermassive black holes at the centre of galaxies gain mass through accretion disks. Models predict that quasi-spherical winds, expelled by the black hole during active accretion phases, have a key role in shaping galaxy evolution by regulating star formation, the distribution of metals over kiloparsec scales, and by sweeping ambient gas to the outskirts and beyond of galaxies. Nonetheless, the mechanism driving these outflows and the amount of energy exchanged between the wind and the galaxy's interstellar medium remain unclear. Here, we present a detailed analysis of the kinematical properties of winds in a sample of nearby active galaxies using the novel kinematic tool MOKA3D, which takes into account the clumpy nature of the ISM. We find remarkable similarities among the properties of the outflows in all the galaxies examined. In particular, we provide the first evidence that outflows exhibit a regular trend in radial velocity, initially constant or slightly decreasing, followed by rapid acceleration starting at approximately 1 kpc from the nucleus, despite the seemingly complex kinematics observed. The observed behavior aligns with our current theoretical understanding of Active Galactic Nuclei outflows, where a momentum-driven phase transitions to an energy-conserving phase just beyond approximately 1 kpc. The constant velocity of the momentum-driven wind is then rapidly accelerated following the inefficient Compton cooling of post-shock material and the transition to energy conservation. The measured radial terminal velocities of the outflows are always larger than the escape velocities from the host galaxies, confirming the key role of outflows in shaping the galaxy properties and evolution, as a manifestation of AGN feedback. Our results, only made possible by our novel kinematic analysis tool, are crucial to understand the origin and the powering mechanism of these winds.

description: In order to consistently explain controversial experimental results on superconducting states observed by different probes in typical iron-based superconductors, we construct a realistic multi-band $\pm s$-wave pairing model by combining the quasiclassical formalism with the first-principles calculation. The model successfully resolves the controversies in contrast to the fact that simplified models such as two-band $\pm s$-wave one fail to do. A key in the model is the existence of relatively small gaps which leads to material-dependent peculiarities.

description: We systematically investigate the vacuum stability and nuclear properties in the effective chiral model with higher order terms in $σ$. We evaluate the model parameters by considering the saturation properties of nuclear matter as well as the normal vacuum to be globally stable at zero and finite baryon densities. We can find parameter sets giving moderate equations of state, and apply these models to finite nuclei.

L’interesse superiore del minore nel quadro dello spazio giuridico europeo (a proposito di recenti casi di sottrazione internazionale di minori)
Creators: name: Mari, Luigi

description: The essay, after a synthetic analysis of the concept of “best interests of the child”, critically examines the orientation of the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union on international child abduction. This orientation, formed in the interpretation of reg. (EC) 2201/2003, is in contrast to the jurisprudence of the European Court of human rights, aimed at ensuring in concrete terms, and not in abstract terms, the supremacy of the interests of the child. Il saggio, premessa una sintetica analisi della nozione di “interesse superiore del minore”, esamina criticamente l’orientamento della giurisprudenza della Corte di giustizia dell’Unione europea in materia di sottrazione internazionale di minori. Viene rilevato come tale orientamento, formatosi nell’interpretazione del reg. (CE) 2201/2003, si ponga in singolare contrasto con la giurisprudenza della Corte europea dei diritti dell’uomo, tesa ad assicurare in concreto, e non in termini astratti, la supremazia dell’interesse del minore.

IMPACT OF ECOLOGICAL HAZARDS ON BIODIVERSITY. A CASE STUDY OF ONELGA, RIVERS STATE.
Creators: name: Chukwumereze, Ruth
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Impact of Ecological Hazard on Biodiversity

description: This research examined the impact of ecological hazards on biodiversity in the Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni Local Government Area (ONELGA) of Rivers State. The objectives of the work were to determine the causes of biodiversity loss; and the consequences of ecological hazards on biodiversity in ONELGA. The research sought to know whether ecological hazards have significantly altered the nature of biodiversity in ONELGA; and how it has impacted negatively on biodiversity depletion and extinction of species in the locality. This research used the Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) theory to provide the theoretical focus and direction needed to address these issues under investigation. The thrust of the AGW theory was that human activities result in daily emission of Green greenhouse gases (GHGs) which alter the natural build-up, and climatic order of the environment. A descriptive research design and survey method were used. The sample size used for this study was 120 respondents purposively selected from the six clans of the local government. Both primary and secondary data were also used. A structured questionnaire was used for primary data collection. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. This research observed that ecological hazards have significantly altered the nature of biodiversity in ONELGA. It also observed that ecological hazards triggered the reduction in abundance and diversity of living organisms through the depletion and extinction of species in ONELGA. This research recommended the conservation of biological species by the government and people of Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State, to benefit from its genetic resources.
Legalità e legittimazione del diritto penale

description: No criminal law provision is legitimate only because it is stated by the law. A check of its social working is an equal important range to discuss critically its lawful basis. This is the legacy of the Enlightenment Revolution. In the so called “world risk society” this kind of check is of vital importance. Nevertheless, a thick blanket of uncertainty enshroud the way to develop this kind of test. A look in the History may help to solve this modern question. La ricerca di una razionale legittimazione dell’intervento punitivo, che non si esaurisca nella legalità formale dei precetti, è, almeno sul piano ideale, patrimonio comune della scienza penalistica post-illuministica. Le più recenti evoluzioni del quadro normativo, sospinte dalla pressione esercitata da mutazioni epocali intervenute nella filosofia politica e sociale della “società globale del rischio”, ripropongono con urgenza la necessità di tornare ad interrogarsi sul perché si ricorra alla pena per fronteggiare conflitti - reali e potenziali – tra interessi. Urgenza che la scienza penalistica, sebbene frastornata dalla rapida liquefazione dei punti di riferimento usualmente utilizzati per articolare la propria riflessione sui limiti di legittimo intervento del diritto penale, percepisce chiaramente; al pari della consapevolezza circa l’inadeguata calibratura degli strumenti indispensabili per poter fornire convincenti risposte in merito. Uno sguardo al passato, come quello che si dà nella pagine che seguono, può aiutare a superare alcuni degli impedimenti, anche metodologici, che a tutt’oggi si frappongono ad un efficace approfondimento della discussione sui fondamenti di legittimazione dell’intervento punitivo nel XXI secolo.

Exploring alternative futures : unmaking the colonial landscape of Kitsilano Beach
Creators: name: Namjoo, Forough
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: This thesis examines the role of landscape architecture as a colonial practice, as well as its potential to set in motion notions of decolonization by unmaking colonial structures and practices. In order to explore these potentials, this research will look at the deep history and potential future directions for Kitsilano Beach, a highly layered and contested site in Vancouver, BC. A long history of colonialism in the area has resulted in the conversion of the natural shoreline of Coast Salish people to today’s vulnerable waterfront development and erasure of their relationship to the land. Extreme weather events, floods, and sea level rise threatening the area are rooted in imperialist technologies and associated engineering infrastructures. Landscape, serving as a tool of colonial sovereignty and representation, can also serve to express the identities, revitalize languages, arts, and cultural practices of Indigenous communities and marginalized groups. To unravel the colonial narratives and physical elements that are engraved in Kitsilano through acts of design (including landscape architecture, engineering, etc.), a comprehensive contextual analysis of Kitsilano Beach becomes imperative. This research conducts a historical tracing of the area by examining historical maps, photographs, and discourses to analyze and comprehend the spatial characteristics and transformations that have occurred in this colonized landscape over time. Subsequently, using values and principles identified in recent initiatives and projects centered around decolonizing design in the context of climate adaptation, this thesis explores strategies to “unmake” the colonial interventions that have occurred in the area. It does so by proposing alternative shoreline futures that prioritize principles of accessibility and inclusivity, Indigenous stewardship, ecological health, and climate change adaptation.

description: The electronic valence state of Mn in Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3/La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 multiferroic heterostructures is probed by near edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy as a function of the ferroelectric polarization. We observe a temperature independent shift in the absorption edge of Mn associated with a change in valency induced by charge carrier modulation in the La0.8Sr0.2MnO3, demonstrating the electronic origin of the magnetoelectric effect. Spectroscopic, magnetic, and electric characterization shows that the large magnetoelectric response originates from a modified interfacial spin configuration, opening a new pathway to the electronic control of spin in complex oxide materials.
