description: Handsearch is an important technique that contributes to thorough literature search in systematic reviews. Traditional handsearch requires reviewers to systematically browse through each issue of a curated list of field-specific journals and conference proceedings to find articles relevant to their review. This manual process is not only time-consuming, laborious, costly, and error-prone, but it also lacks replicability and cross-checking mechanisms. In an attempt to solve these problems, this paper presents a free and open-source Python package and an accompanying web-app, Paperfetcher, to automate handsearch for systematic reviews. With Paperfetcher's assistance, researchers can retrieve articles from designated journals within a specified time frame with just a few clicks. In addition to handsearch, this tool also incorporates snowballing in both directions. Paperfetcher allows researchers to download retrieved studies as a list of DOIs or as an RIS database to facilitate seamless import into citation management and systematic review screening software. To our knowledge, Paperfetcher is the first tool that automates handsearch with high usability and a multi-disciplinary focus.

description: As the U.S. federal government retreats from energy and environmental regulation, local and regional efforts across the United States are scaling up. Cities, in particular, are intensifying their commitments to fight climate change and are playing an increasingly important role in the sustainability of the planet. Energy is at the center of the sustainability challenge, as it is both central to modern life and causes environmental and socio-economic damages through our dependence on fossil fuels. Cities are beginning to understand the importance of a renewable energy economy to maintain a healthy living environment for their communities, as well as to ensure the future sustainability of these communities. One way cities are demonstrating their energy priorities is by pledging to transition to 100% renewable energy by 2050 under the Sierra Club’s ‘Ready for 100’ campaign. This paper will survey 56 cities that have made community-wide commitments to 100% renewable energy, over half of which have pledged since just 2016, analyzing the primary motivations for these pledges, including but not limited to: financial and economic opportunity; public health; environmental preservation; climate goals and action plans; and lack of federal action. It will also examine the structure of these commitments, tools used for implementation, political challenges, and the importance of collective efforts in meeting environmental goals.
title: Optimal Planning of Community Energy Storage Systems In Low-Voltage Distribution Networks

description: The increased adoption of renewable energy sources in modern power systems is mainly driven by their sustainable solutions for clean energy and potential to reduce energy costs. However, the intermittent and non-dispatchable nature of common renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic energy systems, may restrict the ability to fully exploit their benefits. Energy storage systems are used to overcome these challenges efficiently. Community energy storage systems (CESSs) are an emerging type of energy storage system that can trade energy with multiple stakeholders, including prosumers, consumers, and the grid, thereby generating techno-economic benefits. The benefits of a CESS can be further enhanced by optimising its planning aspects, namely its location, size, and rated power. In this thesis, we propose novel optimal CESS planning frameworks to benefit multiple stakeholders in low-voltage distribution networks. First, we develop a multi-objective CESS planning framework to deliver technical benefits to the network, and economic benefits to the CESS provider and prosumers. The results demonstrated that our model generates enhanced techno-economic benefits compared to models that do not utilise a CESS, and models that optimise only the CESS operation. Then, we present a multi-objective stochastic optimisation framework to optimally plan CESSs under different energy pricing schemes (EPSs) of the CESS provider, thereby producing economic benefits for a community of prosumers and the CESS provider equitably. The optimisation framework minimises the investment and expected operating cost of the CESS provider, and the expected operating costs of prosumers. Our experiments show that under the EPS where the CESS provider trades energy with prosumers at the average grid energy price, and the objective of the CESS provider is traded-off moderately to improve the objective of prosumers, spreads the economic benefits for both beneficiaries most equitably. Next, we propose a multi-objective stochastic optimisation framework that can be used by governments to run auctions and select the best CESS project to financially support. So, CESS providers and energy community members can equitably benefit from the economic value generated by CESSs. Our experiments demonstrate that government financial support can accelerate the installation of CESSs and enhance their business viability. This can be achieved by boosting the economic benefits shared between CESS providers and communities, and ensuring these benefits are distributed equitably. Finally, we evaluate how the economic benefits for prosumers can be improved through optimal CESS planning under different energy trading schemes (ETSs). The results demonstrate that the ETS enabling prosumers to trade energy with both the grid and the CESS maximises their economic benefits.

description: Testing whether data breaks symmetries of interest can be important to many fields. This paper describes a simple way that machine learning algorithms (whose outputs have been appropriately symmetrised) can be used to detect symmetry breaking. The original motivation for the paper was an important question in Particle Physics: "Is parity violated at the LHC in some way that no-one has anticipated?" and so we illustrate the main idea with an example strongly related to that question. However, in order that the key ideas be accessible to readers who are not particle physicists but who are interesting in symmetry breaking, we choose to illustrate the method/approach with a 'toy' example which places a simple discrete source of symmetry breaking (the handedness of human handwriting) within a idealised particle-physics-like context. Readers interested in seeing extensions to continuous symmetries, non-ideal environments or more realistic particle-physics contexts are provided with links to separate papers which delve into such details.

description: We report anisotropic magnetoresistance in Pt|Y3Fe5O12 bilayers. In spite of Y3Fe5O12 being a very good electrical insulator, the resistance of the Pt layer reflects its magnetization direction. The effect persists even when a Cu layer is inserted between Pt and Y3Fe5O12, excluding the contribution of induced equilibrium magnetization at the interface. Instead, we show that the effect originates from concerted actions of the direct and inverse spin Hall effects and therefore call it "spin Hall magnetoresistance."

description: Adaptive subgroup enrichment design is an efficient design framework that allows accelerated development for investigational treatments while also having flexibility in population selection within the course of the trial. The adaptive decision at the interim analysis is commonly made based on the conditional probability of trial success. However, one of the critical challenges for such adaptive designs is immature data for interim decisions, particularly in the targeted subgroup with a limited sample size at the first stage of the trial. In this paper, we improve the interim decision making by incorporating information from surrogate endpoints when estimating conditional power at the interim analysis, by predicting the primary treatment effect based on the observed surrogate endpoint and prior knowledge or historical data about the relationship between endpoints. Modified conditional power is developed for both selecting the patient population to be enrolled after the interim analysis and sample size re-estimation. In the simulation study, our proposed design shows a higher chance to make desirable interim decisions and achieves higher overall power, while controlling the overall type I error. This performance is robust over drift of prior knowledge from the true relationship between two endpoints. We also demonstrate the application of our proposed design in two case studies in oncology and vaccine trials.

description: Ad hoc teamwork problem describes situations where an agent has to cooperate with previously unseen agents to achieve a common goal. For an agent to be successful in these scenarios, it has to have a suitable cooperative skill. One could implement cooperative skills into an agent by using domain knowledge to design the agent's behavior. However, in complex domains, domain knowledge might not be available. Therefore, it is worthwhile to explore how to directly learn cooperative skills from data. In this work, we apply meta-reinforcement learning (meta-RL) formulation in the context of the ad hoc teamwork problem. Our empirical results show that such a method could produce robust cooperative agents in two cooperative environments with different cooperative circumstances: social compliance and language interpretation.

description: We have investigated the adsorption properties of amino acid-based ionic liquids (AAILs) on edge fluorinated graphene surface (FG). Adsorption of organic ILs on the FG surface occurs via hydrogen bonds (X-H···FC), electrostatic interactions, and π···π interactions. There are large charge transfers between the interfaces, primarily from the lone pair of the fluorine (C-F bond) to the X-H (X = C, N, O) bond of both cations/anions AAILs. These non-conventional reversible hydrogen bridges are essential in surface interactions. However, substantial charge transfer occurs to cations and anions in both aromatic and aliphatic systems, respectively. Interestingly, aromatic AAILs are firmly physisorbed than aliphatic ILs. The inclusion of dispersion corrections increases the accuracy of total binding energy contributions from multiple adsorption interactions and predicts the complex's kinetic stability. Molar volume values determine the materiality of AAIL/FG to bulk systems.

description: The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and the South Pole Telescope (SPT) have recently provided new, very precise measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy damping tail. The values of the cosmological parameters inferred from these measurements, while broadly consistent with the expectations of the standard cosmological model, are providing interesting possible indications for new physics that are definitely worth of investigation. The ACT results, while compatible with the standard expectation of three neutrino families, indicate a level of CMB lensing, parametrized by the lensing amplitude parameter A_L, that is about 70% higher than expected. If not a systematic, this anomalous lensing amplitude could be produced by modifications of general relativity or coupled dark energy. Vice-versa, the SPT experiment, while compatible with a standard level of CMB lensing, prefers an excess of dark radiation, parametrized by the effective number of relativistic degrees of freedom N_eff. Here we perform a new analysis of these experiments allowing simultaneous variations in both these, non-standard, parameters. We also combine these experiments, for the first time in the literature, with the recent WMAP9 data, one at a time. Including the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) prior on the Hubble constant and information from baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) surveys provides the following constraints from ACT: N_eff=3.23\pm0.47, A_L=1.65\pm0.33 at 68% c.l., while for SPT we have N_eff=3.76\pm0.34, A_L=0.81\pm0.12 at 68% c.l.. In particular, the A_L estimates from the two experiments, even when a variation in N_eff is allowed, are in tension at more than 95% c.l..

description: There is a growing need for anomaly detection methods that can broaden the search for new particles in a model-agnostic manner. Most proposals for new methods focus exclusively on signal sensitivity. However, it is not enough to select anomalous events - there must also be a strategy to provide context to the selected events. We propose the first complete strategy for unsupervised detection of non-resonant anomalies that includes both signal sensitivity and a data-driven method for background estimation. Our technique is built out of two simultaneously-trained autoencoders that are forced to be decorrelated from each other. This method can be deployed offline for non-resonant anomaly detection and is also the first complete online-compatible anomaly detection strategy. We show that our method achieves excellent performance on a variety of signals prepared for the ADC2021 data challenge.

description: We present a construction of the basic operators of stochastic analysis (gradient and divergence) for a class of discrete-time normal martingales called obtuse random walks. The approach is based on the chaos representation property and discrete multiple stochastic integrals. We show that these operators satisfy similar identities as in the case of the Bernoulli randoms walks. We prove a Clark-Ocone-type predictable representation formula, obtain two covariance identities and derive a deviation inequality. We close the exposition by an application to option hedging in discrete time.

description: LoRa is a popular wireless technology that enables low-throughput (bytes) long-range communication (km) at low energy consumption (mW). Its transmission, though, is on one side prone to interference during long on-air times, and on the other side subject to duty cycle restrictions. LoRaWAN defines a MAC and a vertical stack on top of LoRa. LoRaWAN circumvents the above limitations by imposing a centralized network architecture, which heavily reduces downlink capacity and prevents peer-to-peer communication. This makes it unusable for many deployments. The Deterministic and Synchronous Multichannel Extension (DSME) of IEEE 802.15.4e benefits of time-slotted communication and peer-to-peer communication and has the potential to overcome LoRaWAN limitations. In this work, we implement DSME on top of LoRa in the open source IoT OS RIOT and open the field for first evaluation experiments on real hardware. Initial results indicate that DSME-LoRa not only enables reliable peer-to-peer communication for constrained IoT devices, but also scales with an increasing number of nodes.

description: We consider two-nucleon scattering close to threshold. Partial-wave amplitudes are obtained by an analytic extrapolation of subthreshold reaction amplitudes calculated in a relativistic formulation of chiral perturbation theory. The constraints set by unitarity are used in order to stabilize the extrapolation. Neutron-proton phase shifts are analyzed up to laboratory energies $T_{\rm lab}\simeq250$ MeV based on the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order expression for the subthreshold amplitudes. We find a reasonably accurate description of the empirical S- and P-waves and a good convergence of our approach. These results support the assumption that the subthreshold nucleon-nucleon scattering amplitude may be computed perturbatively by means of the chiral expansion. The intricate soft scales that govern the low-energy nucleon-nucleon scattering are generated dynamically via a controlled analytic continuation.

description: We analyze the rate at which quantum information encoded in zero-energy Majorana modes is lost in the presence of perturbations. We show that information can survive for times that scale exponentially with the size of the chain both in the presence of quenching and time-dependent quadratic dephasing perturbations, even when the latter have spectral components above the system's energy gap. The origin of the robust storage, namely the fact that a sudden quench affects in the same way both parity sectors of the original spectrum, is discussed, together with the memory performance at finite temperatures and in the presence of particle exchange with a bath.

description: This paper presents a multi-bit reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) with a high phase resolution, capable of beam-steering in the azimuthal plane at sub-6 Gigahertz (GHz). Field trials in realistic indoor deployments have been carried out, with coverage enhancement performance ascertained for three common wireless communication scenarios. Namely, serving users in an open lobby with mixed line of sight and non-line of sight conditions, communication via a junction between long corridors, and a multi-floor scenario with propagation via windows. This work explores the potential for reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) deployment to mitigate non-line of sight effects in indoor wireless communications. In a single transmitter, single receiver non-line of sight link, received power improvement of as much as 40 dB is shown to be achievable by suitable placement of a RIS, with an instantaneous bandwidth of at least 100 MHz possible over a 3 to 4.5 GHz range. In addition, the effects of phase resolution on the optimal power reception for the multi-bit RIS have been experimentally verified, with a 2.65 dB improvement compared to a 1-bit case.

description: The experiment on laser light backscattering on relativistic electrons was carried out at the VEPP-2000 collider. Laser radiation (λ0 10.6 μm) was scattered head-on the 990 MeV electrons inside the dipole magnet, where an electron orbit radius is about 140 cm. The energies of backscattered photons were measured by the HPGe detector. It was observed experimentally that due to the presence of magnetic field, energy spectrum of backscattered photons differs from the Klein-Nishina cross section. The explanation of the effect is proposed in terms of classical electrodynamics. Moreover, it appears that the exact QED predictions for the phenomenon were done more than 40 years ago.

description: We have shown that nine environmental molecules, namely H2O, CH4, CO, CO2, N2O, O2, N2, H2, and Ar, can suppress the electrical and thermal conductance of 1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)benzene (BPB) junction; and they can vary the thermopower (Seebeck), Peltier factor, and figure of merit depending on their type and number. Our density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green’s function based-calculations illustrate that these molecules shift the frontier orbitals of BPB to higher energies due to their electronegativity. Hence, overlooking the influence of the environmental molecules on molecular thermoelectric characteristics may lead to deceptive predictions and misleading conclusions.

description:     Nowadays mobile applications have become extremely popular since time spent on smart-phones exceeds computer usage. In terms of mobile application popularity, games and social networking are the most popular pastime, rating much higher than news and entertainment.
    As consumer's use of mobile devices has increased, so has the variety of applications being published. One of the most upcoming eld of mobile applications is the one concerning health, known as mHealth apps. Mobile applications can certainly help many people to take care of their health and wellness, a healthier lifestyle, and also gives access to valuable information whenever they require it.
    In this thesis, a mHealth application was developed using Java and Xml, which is a mobile platform for screening human eye pathologies. The application was implemented using the Eclipse IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and the ADT bundle (Android Development Tools). This particular application consists of a set of ophthalmological tests, a way to schedule a test in a given time and date, a SQLite database used for the data storage and some health and nutrition tips.
    The results, after the application was tested by a number of users, conrm the
validity of the app, since people with eye deciencies presented low scores on to the respective tests.
Response to a twist on systems with Zp symmetry

description: We study response to a twist in the two-dimensional p-state clock model, which has the discrete Zp symmetry. The response is measured in terms of helicity modulus, which is usually defined with respect to an infinitesimal twist. However, we demonstrate that such a definition is inappropriate for the clock model. The helicity modulus must be defined with respect to a finite, quantized twist which matches the discrete Zp symmetry of the model. Recent numerical results, which casted doubt on the standard picture that two Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transitions occur for p > 4, are rather a consequence of use of the inappropriate quantity. Numerical calculation of the appropriately defined helicity modulus indeed supports the standard picture.

How Infinitely Wide Neural Networks Can Benefit from Multi-task Learning -- an Exact Macroscopic Characterization

description: In practice, multi-task learning (through learning features shared among tasks) is an essential property of deep neural networks (NNs). While infinite-width limits of NNs can provide good intuition for their generalization behavior, the well-known infinite-width limits of NNs in the literature (e.g., neural tangent kernels) assume specific settings in which wide ReLU-NNs behave like shallow Gaussian Processes with a fixed kernel. Consequently, in such settings, these NNs lose their ability to benefit from multi-task learning in the infinite-width limit. In contrast, we prove that optimizing wide ReLU neural networks with at least one hidden layer using L2-regularization on the parameters promotes multi-task learning due to representation-learning - also in the limiting regime where the network width tends to infinity. We present an exact quantitative characterization of this infinite width limit in an appropriate function space that neatly describes multi-task learning.

description: On a flat surface, the Landau operator, or quantum Hall Hamiltonian, has spectrum a discrete set of infinitely degenerate Landau levels. We consider surfaces with asymptotically constant curvature away from a possibly non-compact submanifold, the helicoid being our main example. The Landau levels remain isolated, provided the spectrum is considered in an appropriate Hilbert module over the Roe algebra of the surface delocalized away from the submanifold. Delocalized coarse indices may then be assigned to them. As an application, we prove that Landau operators on helical surfaces have no spectral gaps above the lowest Landau level.

description: Cognitive radio has emerged as an efficient approach to implement reuse of the licensed spectrums. How to appropriately deploy and construct the secondary network plays an important role. Several cognitive medium access control (MAC) protocols have been proposed for the secondary users (non-licensed users) to access the underutilized spectrum. In this thesis we consider a secondary user with energy harvesting capability. We design access schemes for the secondary user which incorporate random spectrum sensing and random access. The sensing and access probabilities of the secondary user, are dynamically computed such that the secondary user throughput is achieved is high, under the constraints that the primary queue is stable and that the primary queuing delay is kept low, in order to guarantee a quality of service (QoS) for the primary user.
The high-velocity clouds above the disk of the outer Milky Way: misty precipitating gas in a region roiled by stellar streams

description: The high-velocity clouds (HVCs) in the outer Milky Way at $20^{\circ} < l < 190^{\circ}$ have similar spatial locations, metallicities, and kinematics. Moreover, their locations and kinematics are coincident with several extraplanar stellar streams. The HVC origins may be connected to the stellar streams, either stripped directly from them or precipitated by the aggregate dynamical roiling of the region by the stream progenitors. This paper suggests that these HVCs are "misty" precipitation in the stream wakes based on the following observations. New high-resolution (2.6 km/s) ultraviolet spectroscopy of the QSO H1821+643 resolves what appears to be a single HVC absorption cloud (at 7 km/s resolution) into five components with $T \lesssim 3\times 10^{4}$ K. Photoionization models can explain the low-ionization components but require some depletion of refractory elements by dust, and model degeneracies allow a large range of metallicity. High-ionization absorption lines (SiIV, CIV, and OVI) are kinematically aligned with the lower-ionization lines and cannot be easily explained with photoionization or equilibrium collisional ionization; these lines are best matched by non-equilibrium rapidly cooling models, i.e., condensing/precipitating gas, with high metallicity and a significant amount of HI. Both the low- and high-ionization phases have low ratios of cooling time to freefall time and cooling time to sound-crossing time, which enables fragmentation and precipitation. The H1821+643 results are corroborated by spectroscopy of six other nearby targets that likewise show kinematically correlated low- and high-ionization absorption lines with evidence of dust depletion and rapid cooling.
