Do peat amendments to oil sands wet sediments affect Carex aquatilis biomass for reclamation success?

The oil sands industries of Alberta (Canada) have reclamation objectives to return the mined landscape to equivalent pre-disturbance land capability. Industrial operators are charged with reclaiming a vast landscape of newly exposed sediments on saline-sodic marine-shales sediments. Incorporated in these sediments are by-products resulting from bitumen extraction (consolidated tailings (CT), tailings-sand (TS), and oil sands processed water (OSPW)). A sedge community dominated by Carex aquatilis was identified as a desirable and representative late-succession community for wet-meadow zones of oil sands-created marshes. However, the physical and chemical conditions, including high salinity and low nutrient content of CT and TS sediments suppress plant growth and performance. We experimentally tested the response of C. aquatilis to amendments with peat-mineral-mix (PM) on oil sand sediments (CT and TS). In a two factorial design experiment, we also tested the effects of OSPW on C. aquatilis. We assessed survival, below- and aboveground biomass, and physiology (chlorophyll a fluorescence). We demonstrated that PM amendments to oil sands sediments significantly increased C. aquatilis survival as well as below and aboveground biomass. The use of OSPW significantly reduced C. aquatilis belowground biomass and affected its physiological performance. Due to its tolerance and performance, we verified that C. aquatilis was a good candidate for use in reclaiming the wet-meadow zones of oil sands-created marshes. Ultimately, amending CT and TS with PM expedited the reclamation of the wetland to a C. aquatilis-community which was similar in gross structure to undisturbed wetlands of the region.
Migrant legal status diversity and diversity dynamics in european cities

StatusCities will provide a comprehensive investigation of the city level implications of migrants being differentiated by a myriad of legal status tracks. Conceptually and empirically focussing on superdiversity and diversity dynamics – rather than cross-sectional configurations - the specific aim is to link debates about the national level management of migration with debates on urban migration-related diversities. This is extremely timely given unprecedented migration to Europe and especially to Europe's cities. Asking where migrants subject to different legal status conditions live and what their residential biographies look like, StatusCities will combine an analysis of both unique longitudinal register data and qualitative data derived through mobile-phone supported long term elicitation techniques. The former will be used to map and visualise migrant residential patterns in light of status differentiations, the latter to analyse city and neighbourhood level patterns by paying attention to individual mobility and sociality decisions at the time of legal status transitions. The project will be focused on four urban centres located in one of Europe’s major conurbations the Dutch Randstad. The research will consider multiple scales of analysis through a focus on different types and differently sized cities and within them neighbourhoods that show a relatively high turnover of different status migrants. StatusCities will thus contribute knowledge and methodological innovation by drawing on debates from various disciplinary fields and using a sophisticated and innovative mixed methods approach. Research has not yet investigated how the multiplicity of status differences - with their associated eligibility criteria and the parameters of presence that they set out - are relevant to dynamic changes in migration-related diversity. With the current levels of migration StatusCities is devoted to filling this highly policy relevant knowledge void.

Development and application of hybrid joining in lightweight integral aircraft structures

The main objective of the DAHLIAS project is to optimise hybrid joining (Refill Friction Stir Spot Welding, RFSSW, with an adhesive sealant bond) for application in aircraft structures. RFSSW is a solid-state joining technology especially applicable to lightweight alloys in similar and dissimilar configurations. The process has been successfully applied to difficult-to-weld and non-weldable alloys and is considered a potential replacement of mechanical fastening. Overlap joints in aircraft structures require the use of sealants for corrosion protection reasons. Using sealants with an adhesive function would complement the high quality joints produced by RFSSW by not only protecting against corrosion but also contributing to the overall mechanical performance of the structure. To achieve the main goal of this project a work plan consisting of eight work packages has been devised. Two work packages are focused on the RFSSW process development using standard samples with and without adhesive sealant. In parallel the adhesive sealant technology, including surface pre-treatment will be developed. The hybrid joining solution developed in this project will be compared to conventional joining technologies to define its potential. Hybrid joining brings a number of advantages to production and performance of aircraft structures. The change from differential to integral design introduces new challenges in the analysis of mechanical performance. Hence, the damage tolerance behaviour of hybrid joints is also investigated in this project. Quality control methods will be investigated by selecting NDT methods and by process control based on online monitoring of parameters. In the last phase of this project technology demonstrators will be produced to evaluate the capabilities of the proposed technology in actual aircraft structures. The consortium (3 R&D and 2 industrial partners) has the exact fitting, prooven expertise and high excellence. HZG (coordinator) holds key patents.

Dynamic routing modeling for flash flood forecast in river system

A real-time flood-forecasting method coupled with the one-dimensional unsteady flow model was developed for the Danshuei River system in northern Taiwan. Based on the flow at current time, the flow at new time is calculated to provide the water stage forecasting during typhoons. Data, from two typhoons in 2000: Bilis and Nari, were used to validate and evaluate the model capability. First, the developed model was applied to validate and evaluate with and without discharge corrections at the Hsin-Hai Bridge in Tahan Stream, Chung-Cheng Bridge in Hsintien Stream, and Sir-Ho Bridge in the Keelung River. The results indicate that the calculated water stage profiles approach the observed data. Moreover, the water stage forecasting hydrograph with discharge correction is close to the observed water stage hydrograph and yields a better prediction than that without discharge correction. The model was then used to quantify the difference in prediction between different methods of real-time water stage correction. The model results reveal that water stages using the 1–6 h forecast with real-time stage correction exhibits the best lead times. The accuracy for 1–3 h lead time is higher than that for 4–6 h lead time, suggesting that the flash flood forecast in the river system is reasonably accurate for 1–3 h lead time only. The method developed is effective for flash flood forecasting and can be adopted for flood forecasting in complicated river systems.
Mentally disordered offenders' daily occupations after one year of forensic care

Persons detained as mentally disordered offenders need support for transition from care to community life. Few systematic studies have been completed on the outcomes of standard forensic care. The aim was to investigate the target group's life conditions and daily occupations one year after care. In a follow-up design occupational performance (OP) and social participation (SP) were investigated at two time points. After informed consent 36 consecutively recruited participants reported OP using the Capability to Perform Daily Occupations, Self-Efficacy Scale, Importance scale, and Allen Cognitive Level Screen. SP was measured with the Manchester Short Assessment of Quality of Life, and Interview Schedule for Social Interaction. After one year 24 participants were still incarcerated, 11 were conditionally released, and one participant was discharged. The group were generally more satisfied and engaged in daily occupations than at admission. The study's attrition rate, 51%, is discussed. The conclusion and the clinical implications indicate that the target group need early, goal directed interventions in OP and SP for alterations in daily occupations. Furthermore, to increase the knowledge base concerning mentally disordered offenders, studies with research designs that have the potential to uncover changes in daily occupation and other measures for this target group are necessary.
Research and Design on Intranet Security File System

To solve the data security issue in intranet massive storage system, a Multi-Protocol Secure File System ( for short MPSFS) is designed. Firstly, the MPSFS supports the access of users with different protocols, and provides the unified access interface, so can achieve high performance in data storage and retrieval; secondly, with the help of other technologies such as identity authentication, access control and data encryption, the MPSFS can effectively ensure the data security in the intranet storage system. By the experiment, the MPSFS can provide good security and scalability for intranet massive storage system, and has less effect to the network I/O performance.

How do they get by without cars? An analysis of travel characteristics of carless households in California

In spite of their substantial number in the U.S., our understanding of the travel behavior of households who do not own motor vehicles (labeled “carless” herein) is sketchy. The goal of this paper is to start filling this gap for California. We perform parametric and non-parametric tests to analyze trip data from the 2012 California Household Travel Survey (CHTS) after classifying carless households as voluntarily carless, involuntarily carless, or unclassifiable based on a CHTS question that inquires why a carless household does not own any motor vehicle. We find substantial differences between our different categories of carless households. Compared to their voluntarily carless peers, involuntarily carless households travel less frequently, their trips are longer and they take more time, partly because their environment is not as well adapted to their needs. They also walk/bike less, depend more on transit, and when they travel by motor vehicle, occupancy is typically higher. Their median travel time is longer, but remarkably, it is similar for voluntarily carless and motorized households. Overall, involuntarily carless households are less mobile, which may contribute to a more isolated lifestyle with a lower degree of well-being. Compared to motorized households, carless households rely a lot less on motor vehicles and much more on transit, walking, and biking. They also take less than half as many trips and their median trip distance is less than half as short. This study is a first step toward better understanding the transportation patterns of carless households.
Controle de constitucionalidade: análise comparada dos modelos brasileiro e argentino e a união homoafetiva

Os direitos fundamentais também são protegidos por meio do controle de constitucionalidade, que harmoniza o sistema jurídico, vinculando a adequação de uma lei ou qualquer espécie normativa aos preceitos constitucionais. Diante dos diferentes modelos de controle judicial de constitucionalidade das leis, como “forte” ou “fraco”, “concentrado” ou “difuso”, este artigo tem por objetivo analisar o controle judicial de constitucionalidade do Brasil e da Argentina, de modo a verificar quais são os pontos em comum dos dois modelos e quais são as principais diferenças entre ambos. Para desenvolver a pesquisa, são analisados os elementos do modelo “difuso” argentino e do modelo “concentrado” brasileiro ilustrados pelo histórico do reconhecimento jurídico das uniões homoafetivas em ambos os países, ou seja, sob a perspectiva do Supremo Tribunal Federal e da Corte Suprema de Justicia de La Nación Argentina; o que permitiu verificar que no caso argentino além da utilização do instrumento “Amparo” na esfera do Judiciário, tendo em vista o efeito inter partes, foi necessário o reconhecimento da união pelo Legislativo, e, no caso brasileiro, o reconhecimento foi mediante o Supremo Tribunal Federal em razão do controle constitucional concentrado com efeito erga omnes e tendo em vista os altos custos de decisão para o Legislativo diante de um eleitorado heterogêneo.

Scale-Up of our disruptive antibody analytical platform based in flow-induced dispersion analysis (fida) to increase efficiency in the research of new antibodies and vaccines

Therapeutic antibodies have rapidly become a major component of modern medicine. The global research antibodies market size is expected to reach €3.8bn by 2025. However, exiting research tools have not been able to eliminate Hyper-Sensitivity Reactions (HSRs) against the biologic drug by the patient’s immune system. HSRs are estimated to occur in 10-15% of hospital patients and can arise for any biologic, mostly antibodies.
Antibodies are also important in the R&D of new vaccines. To test vaccines, it is necessary to follow the generation of auto-antibodies to verify that the vaccine is working well. This analysis is done with the same tools used in the antibodies research, and with the same drawbacks: artificial assays based on non-native sample materials. Vaccine R&D is immensely costly: up to €400m over a 11-year timeline is standard for a completely new vaccine and overall failure rate from preclinical through to registration is 94%.
FIDA is a patented solution that simplifies and standardises immunological measurements under native conditions. We go from 15 treatment steps on current platforms to a single step with FIDA. FIDA is a powerful methodology for quantifying and characterising antibodies and antibody binding with up to 10-times higher sensitivity than present tools. Assays take 5-20 minutes to run, 90% less than alternatives, with full walk-away automation as-standard. FIDA’s simplicity allows to set-up assays versus new targets within 1 day versus 10 days with current tools. It is based on a microcapillary system that needs <3μl of sample, 16-times less than today’s methods to support parallel testing of multiple early-pipeline drug samples. FIDA uses up to 10μl of standard reagents and running costs are €2.60/assay, saving 61% in operational costs.
FIDA focuses on both the global research antibodies market and vaccine R&D market at pre-clinical phase (in which certification as a diagnostic/prognostic device is not needed).

Hopf Bifurcation and Numerical Simulation in a Calcium Oscillation Model

Calcium oscillations play a very important role in providing the intracellular signaling, and many mathematical models have been proposed to describe calcium oscillations. The Shen-Larter model presented here is based on calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) and the inositol trisphosphate cross-coupling (ICC). Nonlinear dynamics of this model is investigated by using the centre manifold theorem and bifurcation theory, including the variation in classification and stability of equilibria with different parameter values. The results show that the appearance and disappearance of calcium oscillations are due to subcritical Hopf bifurcation of equilibria. The numerical simulations are performed in order to illustrate the correctness of our theoretical analysis, including the bifurcation diagram of fixed points, the phase diagram of the system in two dimensional space and time series.
