Distributed energy systems play a significant role in the integration of renewable energy technologies. The Energy Internet links a fleet of distributed energy systems to each other and with the grid. Interactions between the distributed energy systems via information sharing could significantly enhance the efficiency of their real-time operation. However, privacy and security concerns hinder such

Optimization of the duration of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) campaigns is rarely performed. This article provides a utility-based solution to posteriorly determine: i) optimal monitoring durations and ii) the extension of the service life of the welds on a steel bridge deck. The approach is illustrated with a case study focusing on remaining fatigue life estimation of the welds on the orthot

Interpunktionen är en viktig del i skriftkunnigheten, men samtidigt något som såväl ovana som professionella skribenter ofta är osäkra på (Dahl 2015). I denna studie undersöker jag bruket av tankstreck, som populärt betraktats som ett missbrukat skiljetecken (Truss & Halldinger 2005, Sveriges radio 2017). Bruket ställs mot språkvårdens rekommendationer, som sällan har ursprung i empirisk forsk

Land-use change affects both the quality and quantity of soil organic carbon (SOC) and leads to changes in ecosystem functions such as productivity and environmental regulation. Future changes in SOC are, however, highly uncertain owing to its heterogeneity and complexity. In this study, we analyzed the outputs of simulations of SOC stock by Earth system models (ESMs), most of which are participan

In this paper we propose a ratio control scheme for industrial processes that exploits a two-state feedforward action in order to achieve a minimum-time set-point transient response, by considering the actuator constraints. A Tracking Ratio Station is then used to achieve the desired ratio value when the two processes have different dynamics. The control architecture can easily be implemented with

One overarching objective of science is to further our understanding of the universe, from its early stages to its current state and future evolution. This depends on gaining insight on the universe's most macroscopic components, for example galaxies and stars, as well as describing its smallest components, namely elementary particles and nuclei and their interactions. It is clear that this endeav

Studies of the production of light- and heavy-flavor baryons are of prominent importance to characterize the partonic phase created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions and to investigate hadronization mechanisms at the LHC. Studies performed in p-Pb and pp collisions have revealed unexpected features, qualitatively similar to what is observed in larger collision systems and, in the charm sec

This talk discusses two analytical calculations relevant for the Standard Model calculation of the muon g−2. The first part is the recent derivation of the quark-loop as the first term in a well-defined operator-product expansion for the short-distance part of the hadronic light-by-light contribution, as well as the calculation of the next term. The second part is the calculation of finite volume

We discuss γ∗γ∗ → ηc(1S), ηc(2S) transition form factors for both virtual photons. The general formula is given. We use different models for the cc¯ wave function obtained from the solution of the Schrödinger equation for different cc¯ potentials: harmonic oscillator, Cornell, logarithmic, power-law, Coulomb and Buchmüller-Tye. We showed some examples of wave functions in the Light Front represent

The shape of elastic differential cross section within and beyond the diffractive cone at 13 TeV pp collision energy has been shown to be precisely described by the Lévy series expansion in whole available range of momentum transfers. This way, the crucial information about the real and imaginary parts of the elastic amplitude has been obtained resulting in precision reconstruction of the proton i

The first-order electroweak phase transition in the early universe could occur in multiple steps leading to specific multi-peaked signatures in the primordial gravitational wave (GW) spectrum. We argue that these signatures are generic phenomena in multi-scalar extensions of the Standard Model. In a simple example of such an extension, we have studied the emergence of reoccuring and nested vacuum

The recent release of improved lattice data has revived again the interest on precise theoretical calculations of the direct CP-violation ratio ε0/ε. We present a complete update of the Standard Model prediction [1,2], including a new re-analysis of isospin-breaking corrections which are of vital importance in the theoretical determination of this observable. The Standard Model prediction, Re(ε0/ε

We discuss the Melosh spin rotation effects in diffractive photo- and electroproduction of heavy quarkonia off a nucleon target in the dipole picture. The quarkonium light-front wave functions are obtained in the Schroedinger equation based formalism using the realistic interquark interaction potentials. A strong onset of spin rotation effects predicted in the case of J/ψ(1S) photoproduction enabl

Heat production rate in polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMN) from 18 AML patients and 21 healthy individuals was measured using microcalorimetry. An increased PMN heat production rate was found in most AML patients at diagnosis and during the first 6 months of remission. In 7/7 patients showing values above the normal mean level the heat production rate decreased during sequential analysis. The in

A 76-year-old woman with acute myelogenous leukemia with approximately 65% myeloblasts on bone marrow examination was treated daily with a combination of 4 megaU of leukocyte interferon IM and 1,000 mg cimetidine PO. During therapy there was a gradual decrease of bone marrow myeloblasts down to 9% and a normalization of peripheral white blood cells. The treatment was discontinued after 6 weeks bec

The Entrepreneurial Ecosystem (EE) literature has presented itself as promising in recent years, as it adopts a systemic network approach on entrepreneurship. Despite its popularity, scholars have also raised some serious concerns, showing it is yet a rather underdeveloped concept. This dissertation addresses some of critiques on the EE literature by proposing four research papers that consist of
