description: On average every U.S. citizen experienced over eight hours of power outages in 2020, which has considerably increased from previous years (eia.gov, 2021). The increasing number of outages indicates the vulnerability of the utility grid to different natural and man-made disasters. There is an immediate need to reduce the dependency on the utility grid and increase the resilience of the buildings. As a result, stand-alone or building-scale solar panels are gaining popularity. However, states like California, which has a high number of rooftop solar panel systems, face challenges due to the diurnal cycle of sunlight, which creates a 'duck curve' and 'camel curve'. This is impacting both solar panel owners and utilities. (energy.gov, 2017). Moreover, many of the existing systems without batteries may cease to produce power due to safety & lack of batteries affect critical building function due to interruption and inconsistent power supply. (NREL, December 2014). This gap can be resolved by a holistic approach towards better integration of PVs, energy storage, and demand control systems to make any building self-sufficient and resilient. The research study was initiated by identifying strategies, cutting-edge technologies, and existing case studies for three types of energy load management systems: DER (Distributed Energy Resources), Energy Storage Systems (ESS), and energy hubs. The study focuses on on-site Renewable Energy (RE) generated through rooftop/ Building-Integrated PV (BIPV), Behind-The-Meter (BTM) energy storages, and ways to supply energy to other homes and EVs at a community level. Through a meta-analysis of these solutions, a toolkit of cost-effective, energy-efficient, and environmentally sustainable energy storage solutions was created. To apply this solution set, a site representing a diverse range of demographic and socio-economic conditions was selected, with the aim of minimizing equity and environmental issues at the community level. The study conducted a simulation analysis of two scenarios, one with the building connected to the utility grid alone and another where the building is grid-interactive, uses strategies from the solution set, and supports critical loads of four single-family detached homes. The comparative analysis of the results confirmed improvements in savings in the utility bill by $10,425/yr, energy support for 3 days of power outages, and lower carbon emissions by 12% in Scenario-II than the baseline model. Lastly, we determined the financial viability and policy support. The study led to the development of a scalable and adaptable module to make buildings self-sufficient and support critical loads of other buildings through intentional islanding. The study concluded the framework of ‘Building into a Battery’ can help to save the utility grid from DER fluctuations and promote renewable energy adoption for community-based solutions with a focus on equitable social sustainability
A catalogue of Paschen-line profiles in standard stars

description: We have assembled an atlas of line profiles of the Paschen Delta line at 10,049 angstroms for the use of stellar modelling. For a few stars we have substituted the Paschen Gamma line at 10,938 angstroms because the Paschen Delta line blends with other features. Most of the targets are standard stars of spectral types from B to M. A few metal-poor stars have been included. For many of the stars we have also observed the Hydrogen Alpha line so as to compare the profiles of lines originating from the meta-stable n=2 level with lines originating from the n=3 level. The greatest difference in line profile is found for high luminosity and cool stars where the departures from LTE in the population of the n=2 level is expected to be the greatest. For a few stars, sample line profiles have been calculated in the LTE approximation to demonstrate the usefulness of the tabulated and displayed catalogue.

description: We study experimentally the synchronization patterns in time-delayed directed Boolean networks of excitable systems. We observe a transition in the network dynamics when the refractory time of the individual systems is adjusted. When the refractory time is on the same order-of-magnitude as the mean link time delays or the heterogeneities of the link time delays, cluster synchronization patterns change, or are suppressed entirely, respectively. We also show that these transitions occur when we only change the properties of a small number of nodes identified by their larger in-degree, hence the synchronization patterns can be controlled locally by these nodes. Our findings have implications for synchronization in biological neural networks.

description: We extract constraints on the pion distribution amplitude from available data on the pion-photon transition form factor in the framework of light-cone sum rules. A pronounced discrepancy $(2.7-3)σ$ between the Gegenbauer expansion coefficients extracted from the CELLO, CLEO, and Belle experimental data relative to those from BaBar is found. Predictions for the pion-photon transition form factor are presented by employing a pion distribution amplitude obtained long ago from QCD sum rules with nonlocal condensates. These predictions comply with the Belle data but disagree with those of BaBar beyond 9 GeV$^2$.

subject: Building Construction Management and Project Planning

description: With the increasing demand of new buildings and retrofits, the need for construction continues to rise despite the industry’s multitude of health risks, safety concerns, and time overruns. As the 9th largest industry by GDP in the United States, construction has been slow to adopt new methods to improve efficiency and worker well-being. In a similar industry, manufacturing has witnessed higher productivity and safer practices due to the acceptance and integration of new technology including robotics and automated workflows. Though construction and manufacturing cannot be directly compared due to the scale and complexity of the end product, automated practices in manufacturing can be adapted to improve construction and health of the labor force. One specific robotic platform, drones, are becoming increasingly popular in construction with use cases such as surveying and surveillance. Spray coating technology for drones are also being developed though their architectural use cases are privately withheld and to be studied. As a case study, this thesis explores the application of spray polyurethane foam (SPF) and paint to present a framework to conduct construction spray coating applications by a spray coating drone. The study utilizes computational methods adapted from automotive manufacturing for path planning, data from toxicity studies, and fall risk statistics to compare time of execution, chemical exposure, and risk of fall between a human, single drone, and dual drone applicators. The study signifies that the use of a spray coating drone to complete SPF applications can cut the amount of time required for the task by at least half, reduce exposure by approximately 60%, and negate any height risk during application. From mapping toxicity, comparing speed, and quantifying height risks, this proof of concept serves as a call to action for this technology and suggests new roles for construction workers to emerge from working alongside robots.

description: Objective: This review aims to examine what is known about naloxone use within the school setting in the event of an opioid overdose and the outcomes of its use. Introduction: Opioid use is increasing among school-aged adolescents. School systems worldwide have the opportunity to prevent fatal opioid overdoses among students while attending school. Post-opioid overdose interventions have emerged throughout the United States. The use of naloxone can resuscitate a student in the event of an opioid-related overdose. Inclusion criteria: This review consists of school-aged patients that attend school with naloxone available for use in any geographical location. Methods: Using the PRISMA Checklist for Scoping Reviews, databases searched include PubMed, CINHAL, Embase, and Web of Science for peer-reviewed and gray literature descriptions for naloxone intervention programs within the school setting. A search strategy was developed with a reference librarian. A data extraction tool was created for extracting specific details about school-aged children in the school setting with the use or availability of naloxone.

Lotteries in science funding
Science Funding
Grant Peer Review

description: Which role do randomness and evaluation play in research funding. Can peers give reliable estimation of the future scientific success of grant applications? Which functions can lotteries fulfill in the future? In their pivotal study of 1981, Cole et al. found that 50% of funding decisions were due to the (random) selection of reviewers. This raises fundamental questions on efficacy and legitimacy of peer review decisions in science funding. Empirical studies trying to discover the association between scientific performance and evaluation from peer review found conflicting evidence (Berg, 2011a, 2011b; Danthi Narasimhan et al., 2014; Lauer Michael S. et al., 2015; Li & Agha, 2015). At times the debate on the introduction of lotteries centers around a cost-benefit logic, even though potential gains in efficiency through reduction of workload for grant applicants and reviewers still remain unproven (Liu et al. 2020) and potential losses on the benefit side have to be considered, too (Reinhart & Schendzielorz, 2020).

description: We prove that, if $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is an open bounded starshaped domain of class $C^2$, the constancy over $\partial Ω$ of the function $$φ(y) = \int_0^{λ(y)} \prod_{j=1}^{n-1}[1-t κ_j(y)]\, dt$$ implies that $Ω$ is a ball. Here $k_j(y)$ and $λ(y)$ denote respectively the principal curvatures and the cut value of a boundary point $y \in \partial Ω$. We apply this geometric result to different symmetry questions for PDE's: an overdetermined system of Monge-Kantorovich type equations (which can be viewed as the limit as $p \to + \infty$ of Serrin's symmetry problem for the $p$-Laplacian), and equations in divergence form whose solutions depend only on the distance from the boundary in some subset of their domain.

description: We provide a recursive method for constructing product formula approximations to exponentials of commutators, giving the first approximations that are accurate to arbitrarily high order. Using these formulas, we show how to approximate unitary exponentials of (possibly nested) commutators using exponentials of the elementary operators, and we upper bound the number of elementary exponentials needed to implement the desired operation within a given error tolerance. By presenting an algorithm for quantum search using evolution according to a commutator, we show that the scaling of the number of exponentials in our product formulas with the evolution time is nearly optimal. Finally, we discuss applications of our product formulas to quantum control and to implementing anticommutators, providing new methods for simulating many-body interaction Hamiltonians.

description: Species introductions to new habitats can cause a decline in the population size of competing native species and consequently also in their genetic diversity. We are interested in why these adverse effects are weak in some cases whereas in others the native species declines to the point of extinction. While the introduction rate and the growth rate of the introduced species in the new environment clearly have a positive relationship with invasion success and impact, the influence of competition is poorly understood. Here, we investigate how the intensity of interspecific competition influences the persistence time of a native species in the face of repeated and ongoing introductions of the nonnative species. We analyze two stochastic models: a model for the population dynamics of both species and a model that additionally includes the population genetics of the native species at a locus involved in its adaptation to a changing environment. Counterintuitively, both models predict that the persistence time of the native species is lowest for an intermediate intensity of competition. This phenomenon results from the opposing effects of competition at different stages of the invasion process: With increasing competition intensity more introduction events are needed until a new species can establish, but increasing competition also speeds up the exclusion of the native species by an established nonnative competitor. By comparing the ecological and the eco-genetic model, we detect and quantify a synergistic feedback between ecological and genetic effects.

description: The accuracy of the measurements of some astrophysical dynamical systems allows to constrain the existence of incredibly small gravitational perturbations. In particular, the internal Solar System dynamics (planets, Earth-Moon) opens up the possibility, for the first time, to prove the abundance, mass and size, of dark sub-structures at the Earth vicinity. We find that adopting the standard dark matter density, its local distribution can be composed by sub-solar mass halos with no currently measurable dynamical consequences, regardless of the mini-halo fraction. On the other hand, it is possible to exclude the presence of dark streams with linear mass densities higher than $λ_{\rm st}> 10^{-10} \Msun/\AU$ (about the Earth mass spread along the diameter of the SS up to the Kuiper belt). In addition, we review the dynamics of wide binaries inside the dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the MW. The dynamics of such kind of binaries seem to be compatible with the presence of a huge fraction of dark sub-structure, thus their existence is not a sharp discriminant of the dark matter hypothesis as been claimed before. However, there are regimes where the constraints from different astrophysical systems may reveal the sub-structure mass function cut-off scale.

description: Discovering frequent itemset is a key difficulty in significant data mining applications, such as the discovery of association rules, strong rules, episodes, and minimal keys. The problem of developing models and algorithms for multilevel association mining poses for new challenges for mathematics and computer science. In this paper, we present a model of mining multilevel association rules which satisfies the different minimum support at each level, we have employed princer search concepts, multilevel taxonomy and different minimum supports to find multilevel association rules in a given transaction data set. This search is used only for maintaining and updating a new data structure. It is used to prune early candidates that would normally encounter in the top-down search. A main characteristic of the algorithms is that it does not require explicit examination of every frequent itemsets, an example is also given to demonstrate and support that the proposed mining algorithm can derive the multiple-level association rules under different supports in a simple and effective manner

We attempt to construct the energy-dependent and position dependent SRF by modeling the photon interaction, charge cloud generation and various loss mechanisms viz., recombination, partial charge collection and split events. The model will help in optimizing event selection, maximize event recovery and improve spectral modeling for Chandrayaan-2 (slated for launch in 2014). A proto-type physical model is developed and the algorithm along with its results are discussed in this paper.

In particular, RPV contributions involving the exchange of right-handed down-type squarks give a universal contribution to the B+ --> τν, B --> D τνand the B --> D* τνdecays. We find that the masses and couplings that explain the enhanced B decay rates are phenomelogically viable and the squarks can possibly be observed at the LHC.

description: We study the evolution of phosphorous-bearing species in one-dimensional C-shock models. We find that the abundances of P-bearing species depend sensitively on the elemental abundance of P in the gas phase and on the abundance of N atoms in the pre-shock gas. The observed abundance of PN and the non-detection of PO towards L1157 B1 are reproduced in C-shock models with shock velocity v=20km s-1 and pre-shock density n(H2) =10^4 - 10^5, if the elemental abundance of P in the gas phase is 10^-9 and the N-atom abundance is n(N)/nH - 10^-5 in the pre-shock gas. We also find that P-chemistry is sensitive to O- and N-chemistry, because N atoms are destroyed mainly by OH and NO. We identify the reactions of O-bearing and N-bearing species that significantly affect P chemistry.

description: We consider an inflationary model based only on renormalizable superpotential terms in which a superheavy scale F-term hybrid inflation (FHI) is followed by a Peccei-Quinn (PQ) phase transition. We show that the field which triggers the PQ phase transition influences drastically the inflationary dynamics and that the Universe undergoes a secondary phase of reheating after the PQ phase transition. Confronting FHI with the current observational data we find that, for the central value of the spectral index, the grand unification scale can assume its supersymmetric value for more or less natural values for the remaining model parameters. On the other hand, the final reheat temperature after the PQ phase transition turns out to be low enough to avoid the gravitino problem.

description: This article examines whether the European Union-Turkey deal violates or adheres to international law. In particular, the article examines Turkey as a "safe third country" and seeing whether Turkey complies with the principle of non-refoulement. The article argues that the EU-Turkey deal violates international law in a number of ways: first, EU presumes Turkey to be a "safe third country", where it is assumed that asylum claimants and refugees are able to apply for international protection. Second, Turkey is not part of the EU, and thus, EU laws do not apply to Turkey, so that procedural safeguards that are in place within the EU are not applicable to Turkey, so that in instances where the guarantees to the right to life and prohibition against torture are denied, it will be a direct violation of the principle of non-refoulement in the human rights context. Third, Turkey does not have a good record of according asylum claimants and refugees proper access to asylum procedures and does not have proper domestic mechanisms in place to ensure substantive and procedural protections for asylum claimants and refugees.
How to get mechanical work from a capacitor and two batteries

description: The work done by a parallel plate capacitor is evaluated when the plate separation is changed. Two cases are considered: 1) the capacitor has a constant charge; 2) the capacitor is at constant voltage. The net work is calculated when the device follows a closed cycle in the charge-voltage space. For certain conditions a net mechanical work can be obtained from the cycling capacitor. The analysis is simple enough to be explained in a general physics course.

description: Radio galaxies are among the largest and most powerful single objects known and are found at variety of redshifts, hence they are believed to have had a significant impact on the evolving Universe. Their relativistic jets inject considerable amounts of energy into the environments in which the sources reside; thus the knowledge of the fundamental properties (such as kinetic luminosities, lifetimes and ambient gas densities) of these sources is crucial for understanding AGN feedback in galaxy clusters. In this work, we explore the intrinsic and extrinsic fundamental properties of Fanaroff-Riley II (FR II) objects through the construction of multidimensional Monte Carlo simulations which use complete, flux limited radio catalogues and semi-analytical models of FR IIs' time evolution to create artificial samples of radio galaxies. This method allows us to set better limits on the confidence intervals of the intrinsic and extrinsic fundamental parameters and to investigate the total energy produced and injected to the clusters' environments by populations of FR IIs at various cosmological epochs (0.0

description: For extremely confined fluids with two-dimensional density $n$ in slit geometry of accessible width $L$, we prove that in the limit $L\to 0$ the lateral and transversal degrees of freedom decouple, and the latter become ideal-gas-like. For small wall separation the transverse degrees of freedom can be integrated out and renormalize the interaction potential. We identify $n L^2 $ as hidden smallness parameter of the confinement problem and evaluate the effective two-body potential analytically, which allows calculating the leading correction to the free energy exactly. Explicitly, we map a fluid of hard spheres in extreme confinement onto a 2d-fluid of disks with an effective hard-core diameter and a soft boundary layer. Two-dimensional phase transitions are robust and the transition point experiences a shift ${\cal O}(n L^2)$.

Rounding of a first-order quantum phase transition to a strong-coupling critical point

description: We investigate the effects of quenched disorder on first-order quantum phase transitions on the example of the $N$-color quantum Ashkin-Teller model. By means of a strong-disorder renormalization group, we demonstrate that quenched disorder rounds the first-order quantum phase transition to a continuous one for both weak and strong coupling between the colors. In the strong coupling case, we find a distinct type of infinite-randomness critical point characterized by additional internal degrees of freedom. We investigate its critical properties in detail, and we discuss broader implications for the fate of first-order quantum phase transitions in disordered systems.

description: We discuss an embedding of a vector field for the nonholonomic Routh sphere into a subgroup of commuting Hamiltonian vector fields on six dimensional phase space. The corresponding Poisson brackets are reduced to the canonical Poisson brackets on the Lie algebra e(3). It allows us to relate nonholonomic Routh system with the Hamiltonian system on cotangent bundle to the sphere with canonical Poisson structure.

description: We study the decay behaviors of ultracold atoms in metastable states with spin-orbit coupling (SOC), and demonstrate that there are two SOC-induced decay mechanisms. One arises from the trapping potential and the other is due to interatomic collision. We present general schemes for calculating decay rates from these two mechanisms, and illustrate how the decay rates can be controlled by experimental parameters.We experimentally measure the decay rates over a broad parameter region, and the results agree well with theoretical calculations. This work provides an insight for both quantum simulation involving metastable dressed states and studies on few-body problems with SO coupling.

Eigenvalue hypothesis for Racah matrices and HOMFLY polynomials for 3-strand knots in any symmetric and antisymmetric representations

description: Character expansion expresses extended HOMFLY polynomials through traces of products of finite dimensional R- and Racah mixing matrices. We conjecture that the mixing matrices are expressed entirely in terms of the eigenvalues of the corresponding R-matrices. Even a weaker (and, perhaps, more reliable) version of this conjecture is sufficient to explicitly calculate HOMFLY polynomials for all the 3-strand braids in arbitrary (anti)symmetric representations. We list the examples of so obtained polynomials for V=[3] and V=[4], and they are in accordance with the known answers for torus and figure-eight knots, as well as for the colored special and Jones polynomials. This provides an indirect evidence in support of our conjecture.
