Conceptual Modelling and Data Based Techniques to Understand Urban Water Use and Wastewater Production

A systems approach is used to describe the generation and variation of wastewater in an urban area. This is a multivariable system and its combined response at the outlet of this system, which is usually the entrance ofa wastewater treatment plant, depends on a number of environmental （precipitation and temperature） as well as social （size of the urban area, population changes, water consumption per capita） variables. There is a large number of available models and tools for describing the urban water system, however, the interactions between the individual components are rarely considered within the same modelling framework. In this paper a parsimonious methodology is proposed in order to understand and estimate the wastewater generation and its characteristics in an urban area using any information provided by the available data. The model incorporates both the flows of stormwater discharge and wastewater production that arrive to the wastewater treatment plant. A state dependent variable is introduced to simulate the consumptive uses in the urban area. Data availability and system＇s complexity affect the ability to achieve enhanced model performance, however, in the presented case study, preliminary results from the application of the presented model in the Greater Athens Area illustrate the potential of the conceptual modelling approach.

The correlation between the Doppler factor and broad line region luminosity in blazars

The disk-jet symbiosis is a fundamental problem in our understanding of the Active Galactic Nuclei （AGN）. We explore the relation between the Doppler factors d of the jet of blazars and their broad line region luminosity LBLR. Since different methods measuring δ might differ substantially, we use data obtained from 3 independent methods and compile 3 samples of sources for each of them, respectively. Two samples consist of blazars, that is, Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars （FSRQs） and BL Lacertae objects （BL Lacs）, and the other consists of BL Lacs. dis one of the most important jet properties and LBLR is thought to be the proxy of the accretion power. Correlation analysis to these samples shows that there exists a significant correlation between δ and LBLR, which supports the idea that the jet powering process is closely linked with the accretion process and provides new evidence for disk-jet connection. Furthermore, the results are consistent with the idea that the Blandford-Znajek mechanism is sufficient for BL Lacs and a hybrid model is needed for FSRQs.

The influence of agglomerates on the densification and microstructural evolution in sintering of a multi-particle system

Effects of agglomerates on the densification behavior and microstructural evolution during solid-state sintering of a cube of copper particles have been studied with discrete element method (DEM).It is found that the densification of the sintering system decreases as the volume fraction of agglomerates increases.At a given volume fraction of agglomerates,the smaller the size of agglomerates,the poorer the densification and more inhomogeneous the compact is.The morphology and distribution of agglomerates have negligible effects on the densification,especially for the case with a low volume fraction of agglomerates.Agglomerates with a smaller average coordination number would have more restriction on the densification of sintering bodies.To our best knowledge,it is the first time to study the effect of agglomerates on sintering behavior using DEM.This study should be useful for further investigations of the effect of various inhomogeneities of microstructure on the complex sintering process by DEM.

Bright Solitons on Continuous Wave Background in Blood Vessels

The nonlinear Schr6dinger equation （NLSE） with variable coefficients in blood vessels is discussed via an NLSE-based constructive method, and exact solutions are obtained including multi-soliton solutions with and without continuous wave backgrounds. The dynamical behaviors of these soliton solutions are studied. The solitonic propagation behaviors such as restraint and sustainment on continuous wave background are discussed by altering the value of dispersion parameter δ. Moreover, the longitude controllable behaviors are also reported by modulating the dispersion parameter ＆ These results are potential1y useful for future experiments in various blood vessels.

Geometrical characterization of reduced density matrices reveals quantum phase transitions in many-body systems

Quantum phase transitions (QPTs) play a central role for understanding many-body physics [1]. Different from classical phase transitions which are driven by thermal fluctuations, QPTs are driven by quantum fluctuations at zero temperature and can be accessed by varying some physical parameters of the many-body system. Characterizing QPTs, which normally needs complicated theoretical calculations, becomes a fundamental problem to further study quantum matters. Here a group of physicists proposed to connect the geometrical properties of reduced density matrices (RDMs) of the physical system with its quantum phase transitions [2,3]
