description: Core-collapse supernovae are factories of neutron stars and stellar mass black holes. Type Ib/c supernovae stand out as potentially originating in relatively compact stellar binaries and their branching ratio of about 1\% into long gamma-ray bursts. The most energetic events probably derive from central engines harboring rapidly rotating black holes, wherein accretion of fall-back matter down to the Inner Most Stable Circular Orbit (ISCO) offers a window to {\em broadband extended gravitational-wave emission} (BEGE). To search for BEGE, we introduce a butterfly filter in time-frequency space by Time Sliced Matched Filtering. To analyze long epochs of data, we propose using coarse grained searches followed by high resolution searches on events of interest. We illustrate our proposed coarse grained search on two weeks of LIGO S6 data prior to SN 2010br $(z=0.002339)$ using a bank of up to 64 thousand templates of one second duration covering a broad range in chirp frequencies and bandwidth. Correlating events with signal-to-noise ratios $>6$ from the LIGO L1 and H1 detectors each reduces to a few events of interest. Lacking any further properties reflecting a common excitation by broadband gravitational radiation, we disregarded these as spurious. This new pipeline may be used to systematically search for long duration chirps in nearby core-collapse supernovae from robotic optical transient surveys using embarrassingly parallel computing.

description: Combined community health programs aiming at health education, preventive anti-parasitic chemotherapy, and vaccination of pigs have proven their potential to regionally reduce and even eliminate Taenia solium infections that are associated with a high risk of neurological disease through ingestion of T. solium eggs. Yet it remains challenging to target T. solium endemic regions precisely or to make exact diagnoses in individual patients. One major reason is that the widely available stool microscopy may identify Taenia ssp. eggs in stool samples as such, but fails to distinguish between invasive (T. solium) and less invasive Taenia (T. saginata, T. asiatica, and T. hydatigena) species. The identification of Taenia ssp. eggs in routine stool samples often prompts a time-consuming and frequently unsuccessful epidemiologic workup in remote villages far away from a diagnostic laboratory. Here we present "mail order" single egg RNA-sequencing, a new method allowing the identification of the exact Taenia ssp. based on a few eggs found in routine diagnostic stool samples. We provide first T. solium transcriptome data, which show extremely high mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) transcript counts that can be used for subspecies classification. "Mail order" RNA-sequencing can be administered by health personnel equipped with basic laboratory tools such as a microscope, a Bunsen burner, and access to an international post office for shipment of samples to a next generation sequencing facility. Our suggested workflow combines traditional stool microscopy, RNA-extraction from single Taenia eggs with mitochondrial RNA-sequencing, followed by bioinformatic processing with a basic laptop computer. The workflow could help to better target preventive healthcare measures and improve diagnostic specificity in individual patients based on incidental findings of Taenia ssp. eggs in diagnostic laboratories with limited resources.

description: We present the results of a survey to detect low-mass companions of UMa group members, carried out in 2003-2006 with NACO at the ESO VLT. While many extra-solar planets and planetary candidates have been found in close orbits around stars by the radial velocity and the transit method, direct detections at wider orbits are rare. The Ursa Major (UMa) group, a young stellar association at an age of about 200-600 Myr and an average distance of 25 pc, has not yet been addressed as a whole although its members represent a very interesting sample to search for and characterize sub-stellar companions by direct imaging. Our goal was to find or to provide detection limits on wide sub-stellar companions around nearby UMa group members using high-resolution imaging. We searched for faint companions around 20 UMa group members within 30 pc. The primaries were placed below a semi-transparent coronagraph, a rather rarely used mode of NACO, to increase the dynamic range of the images. In most cases, second epoch images of companion candidates were taken to check whether they share common proper motion with the primary. Our coronagraphic images rule out sub-stellar companions around the stars of the sample. A dynamical range of typically 13-15 mag in the Ks band was achieved at separations beyond 3" from the star. Candidates as faint as Ks ~ 20 were securely identified and measured. The survey is most sensitive between separations of 100 and 200 au but only on average because of the very different target distance. Field coverage reaches about 650 au for the most distant targets. Most of the 200 candidates are visible in two epochs. All of those were rejected being distant background objects.

description: Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA) is a small vessel vasculitis typically associated with release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) by activated neutrophils. In this study, we further aimed to investigate the contributions of neutrophils and NETs to the complex disease pathogenesis. We characterized the phenotype of neutrophils and their capacity to induce NETs. In addition, the level of circulating NETs, determined by neutrophil elastase/DNA complexes, and the capacity of patient sera to degrade NETs were investigated from blood samples of 12 GPA patients, 21 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and 21 healthy donors (HD). We found that GPA patients had significantly increased levels of low-density granulocytes (LDGs) compared to HD, which displayed an activated and more immature phenotype. While the propensity of normal-density granulocytes to release NETs and the levels of circulating NETs were not significantly different from HD, patient sera from GPA patients degraded NETs less effectively, which weakly correlated with markers of disease activity. In conclusion, increased levels of immature and activated LDGs and altered degradation of circulating NETs may contribute to pathogenesis of GPA, potentially by providing a source of autoantigens that trigger or further enhance autoimmune responses.

description: The nature of scientific and technological data collection is evolving rapidly: data volumes and rates grow exponentially, with increasing complexity and information content, and there has been a transition from static data sets to data streams that must be analyzed in real time. Interesting or anomalous phenomena must be quickly characterized and followed up with additional measurements via optimal deployment of limited assets. Modern astronomy presents a variety of such phenomena in the form of transient events in digital synoptic sky surveys, including cosmic explosions (supernovae, gamma ray bursts), relativistic phenomena (black hole formation, jets), potentially hazardous asteroids, etc. We have been developing a set of machine learning tools to detect, classify and plan a response to transient events for astronomy applications, using the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey (CRTS) as a scientific and methodological testbed. The ability to respond rapidly to the potentially most interesting events is a key bottleneck that limits the scientific returns from the current and anticipated synoptic sky surveys. Similar challenge arise in other contexts, from environmental monitoring using sensor networks to autonomous spacecraft systems. Given the exponential growth of data rates, and the time-critical response, we need a fully automated and robust approach. We describe the results obtained to date, and the possible future developments.

description: Background: To promote healthy aging, the support of digital mobile health tools such as mobile applications (apps) addressing a healthy diet or physical activity appears promising, particularly when initiated before entering old age. For such tools to be effective, middle-aged and older adults' acceptance need to be studied in depth. Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to provide an integrative synthesis of the current state of research regarding the question in how far middle-aged and older adults (people aged 50 years and above) accept mobile nutrition and fitness apps to gain a deeper understanding of the influencing factors shaping this target group's usage behaviour and needs. Methods: The review process followed the PRISMA guidelines. The databases Medline, Embase, Web of Science as well as reference lists were systematically searched. Study quality was assessed using the MMAT and AXIS appraisal tools. Data of the included studies were extracted and thereupon narratively synthesized, involving thematic analysis. Results: Of N = 8823 articles screened, n = 7 studies could be identified-five quantitative, cross-sectional ones and two qualitative studies. Overall, the synthesized findings showed a lower acceptance among middle-aged and older adults compared to younger populations, which was particularly reflected in lower usage rates and more negative attitudes towards such apps (e.g., Perceived usefulness, Ease of use). The target group's acceptance of fitness apps was greater compared to nutrition apps. Findings on contextual factors and social determinants were inconsistent (e.g., regarding gender differences). Conclusion: While cross-study comparability was limited, the synthesized evidence underscores the importance to target mobile nutrition and fitness apps to the distinctive and heterogeneous needs of middle-aged and, particularly, of older adults. The scarcity of the existing body of knowledge highlights the need of further (longitudinal) research.

description: The scalability of quantum dot based non-classical light sources relies on the control over their dissimilar emission energies. Electric fields offer a promising route to tune the quantum dot emission energy through the quantum-confined Stark effect. However, electric fields have been mostly used for tuning the energy of single-photon emission from quantum dots, while electrical control over the energy of entangled-photon emission, which is crucial for building a solid-state quantum repeater using indistinguishable entangled photons, has not been realized yet. Here, we present a method to achieve electrical control over the energy of entangled-photon emission from quantum dots. The device consists of an electrically-tunable quantum diode integrated onto a piezoactuator. We find that, through application of a vertical electric field, the critical uniaxial stress used to eliminate the fine-structure-splitting of quantum dots can be linearly tuned. This allows realization of a triggered source of energy-tunable entangled-photon emission, an important step towards a solid-state quantum repeater application.

description: Background: Delirium in older hospitalized patients (> 65) is a common clinical syndrome, which is frequently unrecognized. Aims: We aimed to describe the detailed clinical course of delirium and related cognitive functioning in geriatric patients in a mainly non-postoperative setting in association with demographic and clinical parameters and additionally to identify risk factors for delirium in this common setting. Methods: Inpatients of a geriatric ward were screened for delirium and in the case of presence of delirium included into the study. Patients received three assessments including Mini-Mental-Status-Examination (MMSE) and the Delirium Rating Scale Revised 98 (DRS-R-98). We conducted correlation and linear mixed-effects model analyses to detect associations. Results: Overall 31 patients (82 years (mean)) met the criteria for delirium and were included in the prospective observational study. Within one week of treatment, mean delirium symptom severity fell below the predefined cut-off. While overall cognitive functioning improved over time, short- and long-term memory deficits remained. Neuroradiological conspicuities were associated with cognitive deficits, but not with delirium severity. Discussion: The temporal stability of some delirium symptoms (short-/long-term memory, language) on the one hand and on the other hand decrease in others (hallucinations, orientation) shown in our study visualizes the heterogeneity of symptoms attributed to delirium and their different courses, which complicates the differentiation between delirium and a preexisting cognitive decline. The recovery from delirium seems to be independent of preclinical cognitive status. Conclusion: Treatment of the acute medical condition is associated with a fast decrease in delirium severity. Given the high incidence and prevalence of delirium in hospitalized older patients and its detrimental impact on cognition, abilities and personal independence further research needs to be done.

description: Gauge theories are fundamental to our understanding of interactions between the elementary constituents of matter as mediated by gauge bosons. However, computing the real-time dynamics in gauge theories is a notorious challenge for classical computational methods. In the spirit of Feynman's vision of a quantum simulator, this has recently stimulated theoretical effort to devise schemes for simulating such theories on engineered quantum-mechanical devices, with the difficulty that gauge invariance and the associated local conservation laws (Gauss laws) need to be implemented. Here we report the first experimental demonstration of a digital quantum simulation of a lattice gauge theory, by realising 1+1-dimensional quantum electrodynamics (Schwinger model) on a few-qubit trapped-ion quantum computer. We are interested in the real-time evolution of the Schwinger mechanism, describing the instability of the bare vacuum due to quantum fluctuations, which manifests itself in the spontaneous creation of electron-positron pairs. To make efficient use of our quantum resources, we map the original problem to a spin model by eliminating the gauge fields in favour of exotic long-range interactions, which have a direct and efficient implementation on an ion trap architecture. We explore the Schwinger mechanism of particle-antiparticle generation by monitoring the mass production and the vacuum persistence amplitude. Moreover, we track the real-time evolution of entanglement in the system, which illustrates how particle creation and entanglement generation are directly related. Our work represents a first step towards quantum simulating high-energy theories with atomic physics experiments, the long-term vision being the extension to real-time quantum simulations of non-Abelian lattice gauge theories.

description: In this work, we present an approach to create a PERL structure for n-type silicon solar cells which is
compatible with the high temperature step applied for firing of screen printed contacts. This approach is based on the
PassDop concept presented by Suwito et. al. The PassDop approach combines a doped passivation layer with a laser
process to create a local back surface field on the rear side. As the original PassDop layer—based on a-SiCx:P—is
not firing stable, we developed a new layer based on phosphorous doped a-SiNx, the fPassDop layer. This layer
provides a good passivation with an effective recombination velocity <5 cm/s after a firing step. For the local back
surface field, a sheet resistance in the range of 60 Ω/sq was measured after applying the laser process. In a first batch,
we applied this layer to small area solar cells achieving a conversion efficiency of 21.3 % (675 mV) with evaporated
front contacts. As a proof of concept, we applied this layer to large area n-type solar cells with screen printed front
side contacts achieving an efficiency of 20.1 % with a Voc of 668 mV.

description: The Dutch photovoltaic (PV) market has been growing fast in the past two years, with around doubling
of installed capacity in 2011 and 2012. Quarterly inventories have been made since fall 2011 for modules, inverters,
and systems that are available for purchase in the Netherlands. Since October 2011, the average selling price of
modules and inverters decreased with 50.4 and 16.3%, respectively: July 2013 average selling prices are 1.13 !/Wp
and 0.40 !/Wp for modules and inverters, respectively. About 40% of the modules originate from China, and are 15%
cheaper on average. System prices have increased since March 2013 and now are on the level of one year ago.
Average installation costs amount to 0.36 !/Wp. Grid parity for consumers continues: using an energy yield of 900
kWh/kWp, 25 years system lifetime, 6% discount rate, and 1% operation and maintenance (O&M) cost, a levelized
cost of electricity (LCOE) is calculated for a 2.5 kWp system to be 0.187 !/kWh for a system price of 1.91 !/Wp
(including installation).
Stoke's efficiency and its stochastic properties

description: We study the Stoke's efficiency and its fluctuating properties in the case of a spatial asymmetric ratchet potential with a temporal asymmetric driving force from adiabatic to nonadiabatic regime. Our numerical investigations show that the average Stoke's efficiency and the average current decrease with the frequency of driving. For low frequency of driving, i.e., in the case of an adiabatic regime, we reproduced the analytical results supporting our numerical simulations. By evaluating the probability distribution, $p(η_{s})$ for Stoke's efficiency, $η_{s}$ we focus on the stochastic properties of Stokes efficiency. We find that in most of the parameter space, fluctuations in $η_{s}$ are comparable to or larger than the mean values. In such a situation one has to study the full probability distribution of $η_{s}$. With increase in frequency of driving, the distribution becomes multipeaked. At the same time the average Stoke's efficiency decreases with increase in frequency of drive. For high frequency of driving, the distribution develops a peak across zero. Further increase in frequency this peak gets sharper. And finally at sufficiently high frequency we get a strong peak across zero indicating that there is no effective transport in this regime.

description: Building a safety case is a common approach to make expert judgement explicit about safety of a system. The issue of confidence in such argumentation is still an open research field. Providing quantitative estimation of confidence is an interesting approach to manage complexity of arguments. This paper explores the main current approaches, and proposes a new model for quantitative confidence estimation based on Belief Theory for its definition, and on Bayesian Belief Networks for its propagation in safety case networks.

description: The n-Pasha cell is a bifacial solar cell concept with average efficiencies, depending on the material
quality, between 19.8% and 20%. Our process has been optimized to enable high efficiencies with narrow distribution
on wafers from complete n-type ingots (2 to 10 -cm). This reduces the so-called electrical yield losses from a wafer
point of view, which is important since the wafer costs make up the largest part (~40%) of the total module costs for
n-Pasha modules. We found that the costs/Wp for the 20% n-Pasha cell and module process are very similar to those
of a 19% p-type cell, assuming the same absolute wafer and module manufacturing costs. In the paper the successful
implementation of a reduction of >60% in BBr3 consumption, and a reduction of >50% in Ag consumption are
described, while keeping the n-Pasha cell efficiency at the same level. According to our calculations, the achieved
reduction of the Ag and BBr3 consumption will lower the costs/Wp for n-Pasha modules below that of p-type
modules.
For our current n-Pasha cells majority of the efficiency losses are due to recombination in the diffused layers and
below the contact regions. By tuning both the emitter and BSF profile, an efficiency of 0.4% abs. was already
obtained, but, there is still room for improvements. Based on the simulations and experimental results, the path
towards further optimization and efficiencies approaching 21% is discussed in more detail.

description: Depuis 2013, dans le canton de Vaud, les options de compétences orientée métiers (OCOM), figurent à l'horaire des élèves qui fréquentent la voie générale du secondaire I. Un rapport émis récemment par l’IDHEAP, à la demande de la DGEO, a conclu à la nécessité d’élaborer un catalogue cantonal à l'intention des enseignants d'OCOM, en définissant, pour chacune d’entre elles, les contenus et les objectifs à réaliser. L'OCOM économie et droit figurant dans la liste prévue par la DGEO, nous avons décidé de consacrer notre mémoire à la définition de la place du droit dans cette option et à la rédaction d'une proposition de catalogue d'activités dans cette discipline. Après avoir délimité le cadre institutionnel dans lequel s'inscrit cette option, nous avons procédé à une large revue de la littérature afin de définir, dans un premier temps, quel sens nous allions donner au droit en tant que matière d'enseignement, puis quel rapport un jeune en âge de fréquenter l'OCOM est susceptible d'entretenir avec la matière juridique. Notre recherche s'est ensuite étendue aux ouvrages traitant de la constitution de la discipline, tant au niveau de la posture pédagogique qu'à celui des savoirs de référence et de la prise en compte des représentations. Parmi les principaux résultats auxquels nous avons abouti figure notamment le fait qu'une voie médiane entre le positivisme juridique et le jusnaturalisme, telle que celle qui a été tracée par le juriste et philosophe américain Ronald Dworkin, fait du droit une affaire de principes et de droits naturels. L'étude de ces principes devrait donc prendre le pas sur l'apprentissage des règles décontextualisées. Il apparaît également que la dimension citoyenne est considérée à juste titre comme une finalité du système éducatif dans son ensemble et a naturellement sa place dans l'enseignement du droit. La prise en compte d'éléments-clés tels que ceux qui précèdent, ajoutés aux contraintes dues à la visée préprofessionnelle d'une option de compétences orientée métiers, nous a permis d'aboutir à la rédaction d'une proposition de catalogue qui, nous l'espérons, répondra aux attentes de l'institution et des professionnels de l'enseignement du droit au secondaire I.
A short study of a string on a plane: the energy and the effective mass

description: We investigate the new special class of the finite string on a plane, after the reduction from the relativistic $4D$ case. The suggested special form of the phase space allows to define the extended Galilei group as a group of the space - time symmetry for the considered system. The definition of the energy for the studied non-relativistic string through the Cazimir function of this group is suggested. The concept of the effective mass for the investigated dynamical system is introduced. The appearance of strong correlations between the degrees of freedom even on the classical level is discussed.

description: We present a new selective emitter technology for industrial type passivated emitter and rear cells (PERC). After
double sided texturing and POCl3 diffusion (45 Ω/sq), we deposit an etch barrier by inkjet printing. We then polish
the textured rear surface by a single sided wet chemical polishing process removing about 8 μm of silicon at the rear.
During the rear polishing, the reactive gas phase of the polishing bath etches about 50 nm of the front side emitter in
between the etch barrier fingers. We name this novel selective emitter technology gas phase etch back (GEB). The
GEB emitter achieves saturation current densities J0e of 67 fA/cm² at a sheet resistance of 88 Ω/sq compared to
110 fA/cm² for a homogeneously POCl3-diffused emitter with 90 Ω/sq. Applying the GEB selective emitter to largearea
PERC solar cells with screen-printed metal contacts, we obtain up to 20.3% conversion efficiency, which is one
of the highest conversion efficiencies reported so far for industrial type PERC solar cells. The reference PERC cell
with homogeneously POCl3-diffused emitter of 70 Ω/sq sheet resistance obtains 20.0% efficiency. The IQE analysis
reveals a strongly improved blue response of the GEB selective emitter.

description: The “Conto energia” Programme has been the national PV market stimulation initiative in
operation from July 2005 to July 2013. In this period, about 530.000 plants have been installed,
corresponding to a cumulative power of 18,2 GW and to the annual spending limit for incentive tariffs,
fixed by the Italian Government at 6.700 M€.
However, even if the Conto Energia is concluded, it is expected that in Italy PV installations will not be
stopped, although considerably reduced. In fact, as highlighted by several PV operators, the development of
PV in Italy without incentives could happen by initiatives at no cost for the public finances, like as clear
rules for the sale of the produced electricity, the simplification of the authorization process, a major focus
on self-consumption as well as fiscal bonus for PV investment. In response to these needs has recently
updated the rules for exchanging energy with the grid and have been admitted to 50% tax deductions
residential applications up to 20 kW. In this context, the electrical grid in some areas of the country is in the
phase of adaptation but, in parallel, have not yet been taken into account initiatives aimed at promote the
electric storage.
The data reported in this paper have been collected by authors in the frame of a cooperation of Italy to the
activities of the IEA PVPS (PhotoVoltaic Power Systems).

description: Information technology outsourcing is one of the factors affecting the improvement of flexibility and dynamics of enterprises in the competitive environment. Also the study of the factors affecting its success has been always considered by business owners and the area of research. Professional experiences and research results consider that the success of IT "Information technology" outsourcing projects relates to the effective knowledge transfer and human factors. The human factors are influenced by the cultural and environmental context of the inside and outside of the organization. Hence, it is necessary to study the effectiveness of these variables in different cultural environments. This study investigates the effect of human factors including the customer motivation and vendor willingness on the success of IT outsourcing projects. For this purpose, the research hypotheses were developed and analyzed by the structural equation method. The result of a field study among 94 companies and organizations show the difference of the findings of this study with earlier findings in other countries. Based on the findings, the client motivation does not affect the knowledge transfer but the vendor willingness affects the customer motivation to knowledge transfer. This result can help the business owners to take appropriate approaches for achieving success in IT outsourcing projects.

description: The dashboard will help OPERAS to oversee its activities in the different fields and as well understand the long-term impact of the Research Infrastructure (RI). It will support the governing assemblies to improve the impact and the performance of OPERAS and will define a procedure to do so. A dashboard for metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) will allow the OPERAS governing assemblies to steer and control the development of the OPERAS RI. The dashboard builds on a defined collection of metrics, KPIs and use cases in view of overseeing the different activities, results and improvements of the distributed RI. Not only is the list of metrics linked to the different pillars of the RI, but it also specifies the responsible persons in charge of collecting the relevant data for these KPIs at regular intervals. Furthermore, OPERAS members may benefit from service metrics as well, understanding the performance and usage better.
