Holistic surface water and groundwater management for sustainable cities

Urban water management becomes progressively more challenging in the view of population growth and increasing complexity of water management infrastructure. In this line, there is an ever increase demand from the water providers’ and public authorities’ perspective to critically evaluate the existing water ecosystems at city level in respect to the water supply, waste water treatment, reuse potential and the effect the growing population has on the water ecosystem and endangered species. To enable effective decision making at the entire city level, both surface water and groundwater should be viewed as part of the overall urban water ecosystem with its spatio-temporal availability, quantity and quality and competing uses being taken into account. 
The Water4Cities project will rely on sensor technologies, data and visual analytics to enable localization, visualization and analysis of urban water (both surface water and groundwater) at a holistic urban setting providing services to multiple water stakeholders. More specifically, the Water4Cities project aims to develop the necessary models and associated platform that will enable water providers and relevant stakeholders to a) monitor in real-time the urban water resources; b) support their decisions for optimal urban water management causing minimal environmental impact and c) involve policy makers, corporations and the public to provide the support for sound and balanced decision-making.  Beyond the scientific results, Water4Cities will target the exchange of knowledge among project partners. The Water4Cities project requires the collaboration of researchers in different research areas, i.e., water management, urban infrastructure management, sensor networks, data mining, data visualization, system integration, urban planning. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of the project, staff exchanges will allow partners working closely together to deliver high quality results.
Adorno’s politics

Theodor W. Adorno inspired much of Germany’s 1960s student movement, but he came increasingly into conflict with this movement about the practical implications of his critical theory. Others – including his friend and colleague Herbert Marcuse – also accused Adorno of a quietism that is politically objectionable and in contradiction with his own theory. In this article, I reconstruct, and partially defend, Adorno’s views on theory and (political) praxis in Germany’s 1960s in 11 theses. His often attacked and maligned stance during the 1960s is based on his analysis of these historical circumstances. Put provocatively, his stance consists in the view that people in the 1960s have tried to change the world, in various ways; the point – at that time – was to interpret it.
Digital open marketplace ecosystem 4.0

The Digital Open Marketplace Ecosystem (DOME) 4.0 aims at developing a comprehensive industrial data ecosystem aligned with the Open Science and Open Innovation objectives to enable sharing of business-to-business (B2B) data for the purpose of value generation and creation of new or enhanced products, processes, and services. DOME 4.0 will be open to all providers and users of data, and aims to facilitate maximum knowledge extraction with the help of ontology-driven semantic data interoperability and modern data processing technologies adopted from the fields of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). These features are crucial to scale and advance the proposed ecosystem to any sector of the economy. Given the significant contribution of the materials and manufacturing sectors to the European economy, DOME 4.0 focuses on data-driven knowledge generation within these key sectors. 

The project duration is four years and will focus on two parts: a) core ecosystem technology advancement with connectors to other marketplaces, data and knowledge bases; and b) demonstration of added value via nine B2B success stories covering areas such as nanomaterials, manufacturing equipment and processes, lightweight construction,  etc., while dealing with data characteristics such as quantity, quality, velocity, formats, and sources. Data governance, sovereignty, provenance and adherence to FAIR principles are proposed.

True to its ethos, DOME 4.0 offers a scalable, convergence mechanism to the vast array of research and innovation activities undertaken within the Horizon 2020 programme. The project coalesces the key H2020 developments from multiple marketplace projects, open simulation platforms, open translation environments, industrial networks, data platforms, and Coordination and Support Actions in advanced materials and manufacturing. Central to DOME 4.0 is its interdisciplinary consortium with European SMEs, large industries, research institutes and academia.
Constructing chiral molecules merging electrochemistry and organocatalysis

Drug discovery must identify successful lead candidates. As such, the development of new catalytic methods for the production of chiral molecules is extremely valuable. ELECTRORGANO seeks to synergistically combine two powerful modes of molecule activation, namely asymmetric organocatalysis and microfluidic electrochemistry, to provide an attractive new pathway for the formation of demanded chiral molecules. Both organocatalysis and electrochemistry possess extraordinary potential for the sustainable preparation of novel organic molecules, which are required to drive innovation within the pharmaceutical industry. However, the implementation of electrochemical methods for the design of stereoselective processes is still falling short, mostly due to the fleetingness of the radical ions intermediates generated on the electrode surface. ELECTRORGANO asks whether the use of an electrochemical microfluidic setup, coupled with asymmetric organocatalysis, can overcome these intrinsic limitations, rapidly providing chiral building blocks with high stereocontrol. Finally, mechanistic studies, aided by the use of in-line instruments, will provide fundamental understanding in the origin of the enantioselective induction, setting the stage for future breakthroughs in enantioselective electrochemistry.
This project is highly interdisciplinary, involving different research areas such as asymmetric organocatalysis, electrochemistry, and microfluidics. As such, it is envisioned that the development of this new platform can generate breakthrough scientific papers, valuable discoveries and/or potential patents. This fellowship brings a two-fold transfer of knowledge: advanced techniques in asymmetric catalysis to the host institution and electrochemical methods and microfluidic flow chemistry to the fellow. Overall, the project’s multidisciplinarity and intersectoral nature will broaden the fellow’s competencies and will place him in a competitive position for his next career move.
The digital church: urban Malaysian Christian experiences in cyberspace

Many facets of social life are now intrinsically linked to the Internet through increasing dependence of user-centric platforms like blogs, social-networking websites, online forums, and open source websites. The Malaysian Church is not exempt from having to negotiate with an increasingly tech-savvy and networked community of believers among its own. Based primarily on Internet ethnography and interviews with lay Christian bloggers and church pastors, this thesis looks at how the Internet is a component of “everyday religion” in the lives of Malaysian Christians at individual, institutional, and national levels. It examines the ways in which online Christian expressions are increasingly integrated into the everyday religious routines of Christians for the development of their personal identities. This thesis also shows how the spiritual authority of church pastors can be both challenged and reinforced through creative uses of online tools. Also discussed are some of the creative ways in which Christians utilize the Internet to engage with national socio-political issues within the context of restrictive and controlled mainstream media. This thesis essentially re-looks critically at the online/offline relationship, and argues that the binary of a blogger seen as being exclusively either “online” or “offline” is problematic. Instead, I suggest that both realms are lived and experienced simultaneously. Additionally, I also show that while the Internet may be “free”, the users of the Internet are not necessarily so. While the Internet has certainly provided Malaysian Christians with new tools to experience their faith in new ways, several aspects of “old” offline socio-cultural habits persist online.
Understanding the impact of brain fluctuations on decision making

Our societies are built on the premise that humans are rational agents who make decisions that are in line with their held beliefs. A central principle is that of choice consistency, i.e. that humans will make identical choices when facing the same problem. However, experimental work overwhelmingly demonstrates that humans are consistently inconsistent and that an exaggerated behavioural variability is a key feature of impulsive psychiatric disorders. The causes for these inconsistencies are unknown and economic theories and computational models fail to explain this omnipresent human characteristic. I propose that intrinsic fluctuations of brain activity are causing us to behave seemingly inconsistent, and the overarching aim of NeuroFlux is to examine how endogenous brain activity changes how we act and make decisions.

NeuroFlux will use a novel neuroimaging framework that I have recently developed and that allows to quantify whether and how strongly endogenous fluctuations in a specific brain area contribute to behaviour. I will use this cutting-edge technology to answer the following questions: (i) How do endogenous fluctuations in the dopaminergic midbrain influence decision making and learning? (ii) How do endogenous fluctuations in the noradrenergic midbrain influence decision making? (iii) Is impulsivity driven by an exaggerated brain-behaviour coupling? To address these questions, I will combine real-time functional MRI with pharmacological manipulations and transdiagnostic studies across three intertwined work packages.

NeuroFlux will reveal how the brain’s idle states drive and alter our behaviours. This project will provide a new computational understanding that no longer treats behavioural inconsistency as irrelevant noise but as a meaningful window into the brain’s inner workings. NeuroFlux thus has the potential to revolutionise how we understand human behaviour per se and may reveal the mechanisms underlying impulsive psychiatric disorders.
Networked monitoring system based on embedded dynamic web

Aimed at the difference in communication protocol among dispensers, resulted in being difficult to realize the monitoring system integration, this paper presented a sort of integrated monitoring solution based on embedded Web. The core device of monitoring system chose a sort of embedded Web server based on Intel Xscale IXP-422 RISC CPU. The servers distributed in the industrial field of gas stations were interconnected through industrial Ethernet, and composed a wide area network system based on Web service. The field bus of field device connected to Web server in the field local area of gas stations to complete the integrated monitoring of field device. The system adopted the architecture of distributed browser / server. By means of the approach of Apache + HTML + PHP, the monitoring and management of the gas stations could be realized based on embedded Web, and the realization of dynamic Web browse could be completed by control unit. The results of the practical test show that it is available in reality, and provide a better solution to realize the networked monitoring.
Does “pointing at” in museum exhibitions make a point? A study of visitors’ performances in three museums for the use of reference as a means of initiating and prompting meaning-making

My research acknowledges and explores the social interaction unfolding in the museum space by investigating the sociocultural ways through which museum visitors direct and enhance their personal and co-visitors’ meaning-making. My research analyses the visitors' performances and the sociocultural means used in the context of their joint encounters with seven exhibits across three case studies so as to explore the ways these performances and means were further mediated through the personal, physical, sociocultural and institutional context of each encounter. The three case studies selected were the Courtauld Gallery, the Wellcome Collection, the Horniman Museum and Gardens, all in London, UK. Audio and video-based research was conducted from March 2010 until August 2011. Conversation Analysis and Ethnomethodology led the analysis, highlighting the collaborative, sequential, and performative dynamics of meaning-making at the exhibit-face. Three patterns of performances have been identified: attracting an audience; telling and tagging and animating through “displaying doing”. “Attracting an audience” includes those performances used to attract someone’s attention and subsequently broaden a personal encounter with an exhibit by inviting others. “Telling and tagging” refers respectively to the pivotal performances of narrating and showing something to someone else. “Animating the exhibit through “displaying doing” refers those visitors’ embodied performances that bring aspects of the exhibits into life, aiming at seeing the exhibit in a more vivid and specific way. The analysis revealed two additional dynamics of performing in the museum concerning visitors’ sequence when encountering the exhibits: arriving at the exhibit second and, seeing through another person’s eyes. These categories reflect back to the performativity entailed in meaning-making in museums while highlighting the importance of using deixis, especially pointing gestures, for sharing content and context, directing and anchoring attention to an exhibit and for getting a conversation started in ways that language cannot alone do.

Implementation of solvent management systems as trans-national approach to reducing VOC’s pollution

With the implementation of the Solvent Emissions Directive (Directive 1999/13/EC), which aims at reducing the direct and indirect effects of the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the environment, a call for action exists for implementation in the industrial sectors. There is also a need for developing the implementation of environmental management systems in some industrial European sites through the Solvent Management Plan. The companies that have been selected for the project are small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) which can set a significant example to extend the achieved results to other companies in the same industrial sector after the project has ended. The industrial sectors/processes under investigation are: the coating of several kinds of surfaces, surface degreasing, shoe production, car repair work, dry cleaning and production of coating products.
Investigation on the components removed in loss on ignition test of sandy crushed construction and demolition waste

Processed sandy residue generated from mixed construction and demolition waste (mixed C&amp;D-W) was investigated for possible deposition in landfill. The basic properties and the components removed in the loss on ignition (LOI) test were examined. The target material for decreasing LOI was elucidated and the validity of LOI used as landfill standard for inert industrial solid waste was discussed. LOI of most of the samples was above 5% and therefore, in principle, processed sandy residue should not be deposited in inert-type landfill. As LOI of sandy residue was mainly due to bound water, the LOI could not be decreased to below 5% even if wood, which is the major organic matter in the sandy residue, was removed. However, decreasing the amount of wood could lead to a subsequent decrease in the amount of dissolved organic matter. Therefore, the LOI of processed mixed C&amp;D-W used as landfill standard for inert industrial solid waste should be re-evaluated.
Intercultural digital media education for social inclusion of socioeconomically disadvantaged youth in the urban migration society

Social inclusion of socioeconomically disadvantaged youth with diverse cultural backgrounds is one of the major and urgent challenges European societies face today as addressed in several Horizon 2020 policy documents. Social inclusion of disadvantaged youth can be supported by improving their digital media literacy and intercultural competence because (1) they require digital skills to be able to economically, culturally and socially participate in today’s high mediatized societies; (2) intercultural competences is key for everyone in the migration society for increasing social cohesion of people of diverse backgrounds. INCLUDED develops an innovative integrated approach to digital media literacy and intercultural competence arguing that they can mutually support each other.
Existing research on digital inclusion points out to inequalities in relation to gender, socio-economic and cultural backgrounds, but fails to provide contextualised analyses of the dynamics behind these inequalities and does not sufficiently address the role of schools for improving digital skills of socioeconomically disadvantaged youth in the urban migration society. INCLUDED aims to fill these gaps through an in-depth analysis of digital media use of disadvantaged youth in a school located in a poor migrant neighbourhood. INCLUDED will also develop a participatory action by designing and applying teaching modules for intercultural digital media education together with teachers.
The researcher worked extensively on the digital media use of migrants. Through INCLUDED, she will practice the engaged approach of Participatory Action Research and boost her expertise in Intercultural Education, a key field for supporting the social inclusion in the migration society. INCLUDED will be hosted by the University of Bremen; supervised by the Faculty of Pedagogy and Educational Sciences, a pioneer in Intercultural Education and co-supervised by Center for Media, Communication and Information Research.
Palmer Amaranth (<i>Amaranthus palmeri</i>) Competition for Water in Cotton

Palmer amaranth is a troublesome weed in cotton production. Yield losses of 65% have been reported from season-long Palmer amaranth competition with cotton. To determine whether water is a factor in this system, experiments were conduced in 2011, 2012, and 2013 in Citra, FL, and in Tifton, GA. In 2011, infrequent rainfall lead to drought stress. The presence of Palmer amaranth resulted in decreased soil relative water content up to 1 m in depth. Cotton stomatal conductance ( g s ) was reduced up to 1.8 m from a Palmer amaranth plant. In 2012 and 2013 higher than average rainfall resulted in excess water throughout the growing season. In this situation, no differences were found in soil relative water content or cotton g s as a function of proximity to Palmer amaranth. A positive linear trend was found in cotton photosynthesis and yield; each parameter increased as distance from Palmer amaranth increased. Even in these well-watered conditions, daily water use of Palmer amaranth was considerably higher than that of cotton, at 1.2 and 0.49 g H 2 0 cm −2 d −1 , respectively. Although Palmer amaranth removed more water from the soil profile, rainfall was adequate to replenish the profile in 2 of the 3 yr of this study. However, yield loss due to Palmer amaranth was still observed despite no change in g s , indicating other factors, such as competition for light or response to neighboring plants during development, are driving yield loss.
Multi-Instrument analysis of rosetta data – establishing a new paradigm for cometary activity

The MiARD project will use a wide range of data sets from the Rosetta mission (including the Philae lander) to refine the 3D topography of specific areas of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, to study the activity and changes caused by subliming volatiles as the comet nears the Sun, to make inferences about the nature of the top 10 cm of the surface of the comet, to assess whether the landing site on the comet is representative of the entire comet, and to create an improved outgassing model. The new knowledge will be used to improve models of cometary orbits and dust generation in order to allow better hazard assessment.
A strong emphasis will be placed upon  public communication activities, making full use of the visual nature of the data products to be produced by the project.
Superradiance of a global monopole in Reissner–Nordström(–AdS) space-time

In this article, the behaviour of a charged and massive scalar field around a global monopole swallowed by a Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m-Anti-de Sitter (RN-AdS) black hole is investigated by considering the Klein-Gordon equation in this geometry. The superradiance phenomenon and instability behaviour of the black hole against charged scalar perturbations are studied for both an RN-AdS case and also for an RN black hole surrounded by a reflective mirror, i.e., the black hole bomb case. The effects of the monopole on these cases are discussed analytically and also with the help of several graphs in detail. The monopole charge affects the superradiance threshold frequency and also effects the instability time scale for both cases. The existence of global monopole makes these black holes more stable against superradiance instability.
