onchip waste recovery in quantum and nanoscale devices guided by novel performance quantifiers

quantum and nanoscale technologies promise to revolutionise computing sensing information and communication applications however they are missing a dedicated effort towards energy sustainability exploiting their characteristic properties the theoretical project nanorecycle addresses this important outstanding problem by developing schemes for onchip recovery of waste that typical device operations leave behind in classical devices this waste is often dissipated heat but waste in nanoscale and quantum devices has characteristic nonthermal fluctuating and quantum properties the scope of nanorecycle is to develop processes converting this waste to electrical power or other resources that are useful for further onchip tasks the analysis will be based on sufficiently generic setups to capture the characteristic waste properties that are at the same time typical elements of current quantum and nanotechnologies and are concretely connected to feasible stateoftheart experiments this involves multiterminal electronic conductors but also hybrid devices coupling to microwave resonatorsto guide the design analysis and optimisation of onchip wasterecovery my team and i will first capture and quantify the characteristic properties of the various types of waste and then put in place comprehensive performance quantifiers for the efficiency of dedicated conversion processes an important performance goal of such a conversion in smallscale devices which we will also account for in our performance analysis is the output power precision namely the suppression of power fluctuations crucial for further onchip use while the power obtained from this waste recovery is expected to be small its potential for contributing to energysustainable processes lies in the availability onchip for further use thereby circumventing highloss attenuation procedures which occur when bringing large classical fields down to the chip
middlebrow modernity irish writers and the new yorker in the midtwentieth century

this project explores irish writers connections with the new yorker shedding new light on the literary transactions between the us and ireland in the midtwentieth century i investigate how irish writers engaged with the american metropolitan magazines postwar liberalism i also consider the extent to which the connection with tny can help us redefine irelands isolated literary environment in relation to global modernitymany important irish writers contributed regularly to tny while it is well known that the magazine enhanced irish writers international standings some critics have voiced concerns that the magazines scrupulous editorial process limited the writers experimentalism and capitalized upon their stories irishness in order to appeal to a largely american readership this criticism however risks overstating the popular magazines supposed conservatism as a middlebrow publication that aimed to inform and entertain at the same time tny navigated the liminalyet richly evocativespace between highbrow culture and lowbrow humour revealing an ambivalent attitude towards both radical reforms and middleclass complacency drawing on periodical studies and theories of middlebrow culture to establish my theoretical framework i consider this metropolitan magazines fraught relationships with the experimental arts and its intimate involvement in the experience of modernity i argue that it was not tnys conservatism but its ambivalences towards modernity that resonated with midtwentiethcentury irish writers reinserting the fictional works of the irish writers into the textual space of tnyalongside the cartoons advertisements and journalistic reportsthis project advances our understanding of the irish short story in relation to metropolitan and transatlantic modernity it offers the first fully contextualized literarybiographical account of the relationships between the tny editors the irish writers and their american peers
new horizons in glass structure prediction and mechanics

oxide glasses are one of the most important material families owing to their unique features such as transparency tunable properties and formability emerging solutions to major global challenges related to energy health and electronics require new scientific breakthroughs in glass chemistry mechanics and processing the realization of these goals is severely restricted by the main drawback of glass namely high brittleness furthermore new glass compositions are today developed through timeconsuming trialanderror experimentation due to their inherent nonequilibrium nature and disordered structurea major task is therefore to initiate a paradigm shift within the field of glass science and technology going from empirical to modelbased approaches for the design of new glass compositions and microstructures with improved fracture resistance this requires the development of computational approaches from ab initio calculations to artificial intelligence to integrate structural descriptors and glass chemistry with advanced processing and mechanical properties into holistic toolsnewglass challenges the current glass design strategies in order to create such tools for this purpose an interdisciplinary approach is proposed in which structural descriptors at the short and mediumrange length scales are first identified and quantified based on emergent statistical mechanics and persistent homology techniques guided by these results highthroughput simulations at various length scales are combined with machine learning algorithms to design novel glass compositions tailored deformation mechanisms and 3dprinted microstructures to achieve superior fracture resistance by having experiments and modelling complement and advance each other reciprocally newglass will find order in disorder and provide the scientific breakthroughs for the accelerated design of glasses with outstanding mechanical performance thus opening up for many new applications

making the franks european immigration and citizenship in the premodern ottoman empire

this project explores the creation of norms on citizenship and naturalization in the prenineteenthcentury ottoman empire it focuses on european mercantile communities in three citiesistanbul aleppo and izmir in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and on jurisdictional disputes between ottoman and european officials over the legal belonging of european immigrants since that before the nineteenthcentury a territorialbased notion of citizenship and universal identification systems did not exist in europe and the ottoman empire the political affiliation of european merchants and other immigration was often a matter of local controversy and diplomatic negotiations these episodes of crisis makefra argues lead to the elaboration of internationallyrecognized rules and practices over legal belonging a protocitizenship for european and ottoman subjects these rules jointly elaborated by european and noneuropean actors constituted the basis for modernday systems of citizenship and naturalization in europe and the middle east

what was and what could have been janina hosiassonlindenbaums role in the philosophy of probablity

janina hosiassonlindenbaum 18991942 was a philosopher working on inductive reasoning and the interpretation of probability in spite of her impressive publication list and international recognition she never managed to secure a university post and the histories of analytic philosophy barely engage with her work this project will contribute to our understanding of what led to her exclusion from the philosophical canon and develop a thorough analysis of the full body of her workestablishing what her rightful position in the history of analytic philosophy actually is the first objective of the project is to understand how the career of hosiassonlindenbaum and the uptake of her ideas in the philosophy community were influenced by her social status and her academic biography this will be done by analysing her academic and social environment in warsaw focusing on how it shaped her intellectual development and how it determined her chances and recognition as a professional philosopher then i will look at the last period of her career her unsuccessful efforts to secure funding as a refugee scholar during world war ii i will identify the causes that led to the rejection of her appeals the working hypothesis here is that the factors identified in these two parts are relevant to the uptake of janina hosiassons ideas in the wider philosophical community the second objective is to reconstruct hosiassonlindenbaums position on the foundational questions in philosophy of probability and inductive logic and to evaluate its conceptual and historical importance this will be achieved by a detailed study of her whole body of work spanning over thirty published and unpublished items and her correspondence with other philosophers based on this analysis i will first reconstruct her own position on the nature of the concept of probability then i will establish what was her role in the development of confirmation theory
quantitative extrapolation in ecotoxicology

reliable assessment of the ecological risks posed by chemicals is a fundamental component of european policies concerned with safe use of chemicals eg reach the green deal and protection of ecosystem functioning and ecosystem services water framework directive chemical risk assessment typically involves extrapolation of effects observed invitro and invivo under laboratory conditions to predictions of effects at the ecosystem level this is a very challenging task and current extrapolation models have limitations notably due to a number of ecological processes that are disregarded by the models and the paucity of data for parameterisation and validation qtox will develop mechanistic knowledge and data efficient modelling tools to bridge the gap between standard toxicity data typically acute effects of single chemicals and ecologically relevant end points arising from chronic time variable exposures to chemical mixtures the results will be achieved through an interdisciplinary and intersectoral research and training program in which 10 doctoral candidates will characterise the mechanistic processes describing the successive events from exposure to ecosystemlevel effects and develop models for extrapolation of adverse effects across levels of biological organisation under environmentally realistic conditions notably the effects of chemical mixtures dynamic exposure conditions and their interaction with climate change scenarios will be characterised in a series of mesocosm experiments at three sites in central and southern europe the mesocosm work will serve as a uniting training element and a rich source of data for testing and validating the modelling framework qtox will produce an open access toolbox for quantitative extrapolations in ecotoxicology and a cohort of researchers equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement and develop rigorous approaches for predicting adverse effects of chemicals
