An improved penalty algorithm using model order reduction for MIPDECO problems with partial observations
Authors: Garmatter Dominik , Porcelli Margherita , Rinaldi Francesco , Stoll Martin 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThis work addresses optimal control problems governed by a linear time-dependent partial differential equation (PDE) as well as integer constraints on the control. Moreover, partial observations are assumed in the objective function. The resulting problem poses several numerical challenges due to the mixture of combinatorial aspects, induced by integer variables, and large scale linear algebra issues, arising from the PDE discretization. Since classical solution approaches such as the branch-and-bound framework are typically overwhelmed by such large-scale problems, this work extends an improved penalty algorithm proposed by the authors, to the time-dependent setting. The main contribution is a novel combination of an interior point method, preconditioning, and model order reduction yielding a tailored local optimization solver at the heart of the overall solution procedure. A thorough numerical investigation is carried out both for the heat equation as well as a convection-diffusion problem demonstrating the versatility of the approach.
Does Part-Time Mothering Help Get a Job? The Role of Shared Custody in Women’s Employment

Published: June 2022

AbstractThough child shared physical custody arrangements after divorce are much more frequent and parents who use it more diverse in many European countries, little is known about their economic consequences for parents. By relaxing family time constraints, does shared custody help divorced mothers return to or stay on work more easily? Since lone mothers are one of the least-employed groups, and they face high unemployment rates, the type of child custody arrangement adopted after divorce is of particular interest for their employability. This article analyses to what extent the type of child custody arrangement affects mothers’ labour market patterns after divorce.Using a large sample of divorcees from an exhaustive French administrative income tax database, and taking advantage of the huge territorial discrepancies observed in the proportion of shared custody, we correct for the possible endogeneity of shared custody. Results show that not repartnered mothers with shared custody arrangements are 24 percentage points more likely to work one year after divorce compared to those having sole custody, while no significant effect is found for repartnered mothers. Among lone mothers, we also highlight huge heterogeneous effects: larger positive effects are observed for previously inactive women, for those belonging to the lowest income quintiles before divorce, for those with a young child, and for those who have three or more children. Thus, shared physical custody arrangements may reduce work–family conflict by diminishing childcare expenses and enlarge the possibilities to find a suitable job because of more relaxed time constraints for lone mothers.

Published: June 2022

AbstractThis study investigates a method for improving real-time decisions regarding the storage location of export containers while the containers are arriving. To manage the decision-making process, we propose a two module-based data-driven dynamic stacking strategy that facilitates stowage planning. Module 1 generates the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) specific to each container group for container weight classification. Module 2 implements the data-driven dynamic stacking strategy as an online algorithm to determine the storage location of an arriving container in real time. Numerical experiments were conducted using real-life data to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method compared to other alternative stacking strategies. These experiments revealed that the performance of the proposed method is robust, and therefore it can improve yard operations and container terminal competitiveness.

AbstractThe study of the microbiota associated to clams is important not only to know their sanitary status but also to prevent pathobiology events. The use of different microbiological techniques can help to obtain a better picture of the bacterial diversity of clams as well as to isolate new bacterial taxa. In this study, two clam species, Ruditapes decussatus and R. philippinarum, were analyzed in two locations of Galicia (northwest of Spain) in April and October, by combining classic culturing, dilution-to-extinction approach, and 16S rRNA gene target sequencing. 16S rRNA gene target sequencing revealed a great diversity within the clam samples, shedding light into the vast microbial communities associated to these bivalves. All samples were dominated by the same bacterial genera in the different periods, namely Mycoplasma, Vibrio, and Cutibacterium. The α-diversity in the samples obtained during the month of October was lower and showed the dominance of rare bacterial taxa, such as Methylobacterium or Psychrobacter. Dilution-to-extinction technique demonstrated its usefulness to culture rare bacterial taxa that were not found in clams under the classic culturing techniques, including Rahnella, Brachybacterium, Micrococcus, Jantinobacter, and Lelliottia. Altogether, our study provides valuable information on the microbiota associated to R. decussatus and R. philippinarum, demonstrating the high complexity and dynamics of these microbial populations.
Environmental and socioeconomic determinants of neonatal mortality in a northern Italian city in the early nineteenth century
Authors: Fornasin Alessio , Rizzi Laura 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe research explores the effects of the environment on neonatal mortality in the early nineteenth century, controlling for social and economic factors. Individual data, relative to the resident population of Udine, a city in northeastern Italy, under French domination (1806–1815) have been used. The information collected regards births and deaths within the first month of life and is taken from the Napoleonic civil registers. The spatial distribution of some data within the urban area, heating in the houses where children were born or died, and a time series of temperature levels and corn prices are taken into account. The methodological approach adopted is based on logistic regression models and discrete-time event history analysis. The results point to excess winter neonatal mortality. Neonatal mortality was higher in peripheral areas of the city and in heated houses. A positive relationship between mortality and lower temperatures and corn prices has been found. As to socioeconomic status, peasant families and those of the upper class showed, respectively, the lowest and the highest mortality levels. This was arguably the result of the adoption of different breastfeeding practices.

Published: June 2022

AbstractThe local environment of metal-oxide supported single-atom catalysts plays a decisive role in the surface reactivity and related catalytic properties. The study of such systems is complicated by the presence of point defects on the surface, which are often associated with the localization of excess charge in the form of polarons. This can affect the stability, the electronic configuration, and the local geometry of the adsorbed adatoms. In this work, through the use of density functional theory and surface-sensitive experiments, we study the adsorption of Rh1, Pt1, and Au1 metals on the reduced TiO2(110) surface, a prototypical polaronic material. A systematic analysis of the adsorption configurations and oxidation states of the adsorbed metals reveals different types of couplings between adsorbates and polarons. As confirmed by scanning tunneling microscopy measurements, the favored Pt1 and Au1 adsorption at oxygen vacancy sites is associated with a strong electronic charge transfer from polaronic states to adatom orbitals, which results in a reduction of the adsorbed metal. In contrast, the Rh1 adatoms interact weakly with the excess charge, which leaves the polarons largely unaffected. Our results show that an accurate understanding of the properties of single-atom catalysts on oxide surfaces requires a careful account of the interplay between adatoms, vacancy sites, and polarons.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Purpose
With a contribution of 39% to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, reducing the environmental impacts of buildings plays an undisputed role in achieving climate goals. Therefore, the development of projects with a low carbon footprint is of crucial importance. Although several active and passive solutions as well as design strategies have been developed, identifying critical levers to minimise GHG emissions and the cost of future building projects is still a problem faced every day by designers.

Methods
Motivated by this knowledge gap in this study, we conducted a life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) of a residential building situated in Austria. To identify the critical levers for reducing impacts and cost, 37 scenarios with three different advanced energetic standards are created. The scenarios with the various standards are developed through the combination of different construction materials, insulation materials and technical building equipment. In the eco-efficiency assessment (LCA and LCCA), a reference study period of 50 years is assumed. The life cycle of the building scenarios was analysed according to the European standard EN-15978.

Results
Results show that improving the energetic standard does not yield an overall cost savings potential. The additional construction cost (23%) for energy efficiency measures, including thermal insulation and change of technical building equipment, is higher than the reduction potential in operating cost over 50 years. On the other hand, the improvement of energetic standards allows a reduction of the environmental impacts by 25%.

Conclusions
To ensure a cost-optimal environmental improvement of buildings, it is crucial to conduct an eco-efficiency assessment during the design process of energy-efficient buildings. This study shows how improving the energetic standard of buildings can reduce environmental impacts with slightly increased life cycle cost.

AbstractProppant crushing and embedment in hydraulically-induced fractures is a major drawback to the recovery of unconventional oil/gas and geothermal energy production. This study provides a grain-scale analysis of the fracture evolution mechanisms of proppant crushing, rock fracture damage during proppant embedment, the influence of realistic reservoir/fracture fluid on proppant embedment, and the behaviour of proppant packs subjected to in-situ stresses using a discrete element modelling (DEM) approach. The results of this study reveal that the selection of an appropriate proppant type based on the nature of the reservoir formation plays a vital part in quantifying the degree of proppant crushing and embedment within fractures. The utilisation of frac-sand proppants instead of ceramic proppants in shallow soft sedimentary-based siltstone formations reduces proppant embedment up to 88%. However, whatever the depth of the fracture, the injection of ceramic proppants into granite-based geothermal formations is preferred to that of frac-sand proppants due to their lower proppant embedment and greater crush resistance. DEM analysis detected rock-spalling during the proppant embedment process, which ultimately led to the initiation of tensile-dominant secondary fractures in rocks. Fracture initiation, propagation, and coalescence during proppant crushing are analysed using calibrated DEM proppant-rock assemblies. Importantly, this study reveals that the saturation of formation rocks with fracturing/reservoir fluids may cause a significant increase in proppant embedment. Furthermore, proppant crushing, embedment, and re-arrangement mechanisms in proppant packs with different proppant distributions are analysed in this comprehensive numerical study.

AbstractThe land–river interface (LRI) is important for sustainable development. The environmental processes that define the LRI support the natural capital and ecosystem services that are linked directly to multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, existing approaches to scale up or down SDG targets and link them to natural capital are insufficient for the two-way human–environment interactions that exist in the LRI. Therefore, this study proposes a place-based approach to interpret the SDG framework to support sustainable land/water management, by (i) identifying key priorities for sustainable development through a normative content analysis of the SDG targets, and (ii) illustrating these priorities and associated challenges within the LRI, based on a literature review and case-studies on human–environment interactions. The content analysis identifies three overarching sustainable development priorities: (i) ensuring improved access to resources and services provided by the LRI, (ii) strengthening the resilience of the LRI to deal with social and natural shocks, and (iii) increasing resource efficiency. The review of the current state of LRIs across the world confirms that these are indeed priority areas for sustainable development. Yet, the challenges of attaining the sustainable development priorities in the LRI are also illustrated with three examples of development-related processes. Urbanisation, dam construction, and aggregate mining occur within specific zones of the LRI (land, land–river, river, respectively), but their impacts can compromise sustainable development across the entire LRI and beyond. The existence of these unintended impacts highlights the need to consider the geomorphic, hydrological, and ecological processes within the LRI and how they interact with human activity. Identifying the place-based priorities and challenges for sustainable development will help achieve the SDGs without compromising the functions and services of the LRI.
High-Velocity Arc Spraying of Fe-based Metallic Glasses with High Si Content

Published: June 2022

AbstractVarious feedstocks are available for the thermal spraying of metallic glasses, which are often alloyed with high amounts of cost-intensive elements. In previous steps, a novel, economic Fe-based metallic glass alloy with a high Si content has been developed using melt spinning. The aim of this work is to investigate the application of the alloy using the high-velocity arc spraying (HVAS) process. On this basis, four cored wires are manufactured with the aim of maximizing in situ intermixing and amorphous phase formation during the spraying process. The cross sections of the resulting coatings are analyzed by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and Vickers hardness testing. Phase analysis on the coatings is conducted with regards to the formation of amorphous phases using x-ray diffractometry (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry. The XRD patterns indicate a mixture of (nano-) crystalline ferrite and amorphous phases. In particular, the coating manufactured with wire No. 1, a Fe-B-Si-C-Nb composition, exhibited good intermixing and a highly amorphous structure. This work demonstrates that glassy metallic coatings can be produced by means of HVAS using Fe-based cored wires comprising of conventional filler materials. A successful intermixing, in situ alloying and the subsequent formation of amorphous phases is achieved.

AbstractMyocardial fibrosis confers an almost threefold mortality risk in heart disease. There are no prognostic therapies and novel therapeutic targets are needed. Many thousands of unannotated small open reading frames (smORFs) have been identified across the genome with potential to produce micropeptides (< 100 amino acids). We sought to investigate the role of smORFs in myocardial fibroblast activation.Analysis of human cardiac atrial fibroblasts (HCFs) stimulated with profibrotic TGFβ1 using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and ribosome profiling (Ribo-Seq) identified long intergenic non-coding RNA LINC01013 as TGFβ1 responsive and containing an actively translated smORF. Knockdown of LINC01013 using siRNA reduced expression of profibrotic markers at baseline and blunted their response to TGFβ1. In contrast, overexpression of a codon-optimised smORF invoked a profibrotic response comparable to that seen with TGFβ1 treatment, whilst FLAG-tagged peptide associated with the mitochondria.Together, these data support a novel LINC01013 smORF micropeptide-mediated mechanism of fibroblast activation.
Graphical Abstract
TGFβ1 stimulation of atrial fibroblasts induces expression of LINC01013, whose knockdown reduces fibroblast activation. Overexpression of a smORF contained within LINC01013 localises to mitochondria and activates fibroblasts
Landelijke ambities versus lokale uitwerking: gemeentelijk gezondheidsbeleid en lokale tabaksontmoediging laten te wensen over
Authors: Bruijn L. Michelle , Hessels Judith A. 
Published: June 2022

SamenvattingIn Nederland is roken nog steeds de belangrijkste oorzaak van ziekte en sterfte. Een Rookvrije Generatie creëren is daarom een belangrijke landelijke doelstelling van de overheid. De ambitie is dat in 2040 geen enkel kind rookt of ooit zal gaan roken. De gemeenten en de rijksoverheid spelen beide een belangrijke rol bij de bescherming van de volksgezondheid. De preventiecyclus, waarbij gemeenten een lokaal gezondheidsbeleid dienen op te stellen naar aanleiding van het landelijke gezondheidsbeleid, kenmerkt de gedeelde bevoegdheid om zorg te dragen voor de aanpak van gezondheidsproblemen, zoals roken. Deze bijdrage brengt de huidige stand van zaken omtrent het lokale gezondheids- en tabaksontmoedigingsbeleid in kaart voor de gemeenten in de provincies Groningen, Utrecht en Zeeland (N = 49). Het onderzoek toont aan dat vrijwel alle onderzochte gemeenten (96%) niet aan de wettelijke vereisten van de preventiecyclus voldoen en dat lokaal tabaksontmoedigingsbeleid achterblijft in vergelijking met de landelijke doelen en verwachtingen. Het onderzoek laat daarnaast zien dat de lokale verschillen groot zijn. De nationale overheid zal met gemeenten moeten samenwerken om de landelijke gezondheidsdoelen, zoals tabaksontmoediging, een centrale en structurele plek te geven op de lokale agenda.
Copyright Compensation in the Finnish Sanctioning System – A Remedy for Ungained Benefit or an Unjustified Punishment?
Authors: Tammenlehto Laura 
Published: June 2022

AbstractCopyright compensation is a special civil remedy for copyright infringements and the unlawful use of copyright according to Finnish copyright legislation. Its purpose is to ensure compensation to the rightholder in situations where the infringement is evident, but proving the harm or loss is difficult. Copyright compensation aims to prevent the unlawful and infringing use of copyrighted material. This article studies which purposes may be pursued with copyright compensation and which criteria must be fulfilled in this pursuit. The article focuses on studying the level of prevention, which may be pursued with a remedy without it becoming a punishment. The article points out that case law has started to emphasize the preventive function of copyright compensation. Due to this, the remedy (i.e. copyright compensation) has taken on punitive elements, which, according to the Finnish legal system, are prohibited to be given as civil remedies. This jeopardizes foreseeability of the use of law and the protection of the defendant’s legitimate rights. The article suggests that the protection of the legitimate rights of the defendant should be better ensured in imposing copyright compensation, and that strong prevention should be pursued with other measures.

Published: June 2022

AbstractCooperative automated vehicle software needs to use advanced software engineering design methodologies to manage the complexity of distributed software. This article presents a design model of a stereo vision system for cooperative automated vehicles based on object-oriented analysis and design methodologies and unified modeling language concepts. We use a rational unified process and the 4+1 architectural view model to design the stereo vision system. The designed model is a part of the perception system of the ego vehicle. The stereo vision system continuously perceives the traffic environment using an on-board front-facing stereo camera and sends information to the vehicle control system. The stereo vision system is developed on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS platform with the Nvidia DriveWorks framework using the C++ programming language, and it is deployed on Nvidia Drive PX2 automotive-grade embedded hardware platform. The designed and developed system is evaluated on the Carla simulation environment and the Renault Twizy cooperative automated vehicle research platform. The experimental results show that the approach is applicable, and the system is capable of running in real-time.
Pronominal deficiency: A view from Malagasy
Authors: Paul Ileana , Travis Lisa deMena 
Published: June 2022

AbstractVarious proposals have been made in the literature, arguing that bound pronouns are, in some sense, deficient. This article tests this hypothesis with Malagasy pronouns, specifically in the context of Zribi-Hertz and Mbolatianavalona's (1999) claim that Malagasy pronouns may be bound only when they are missing the NumP layer of DP. Zribi-Hertz and Mbolatianavalona show further that other syntactic properties are also attached to the lack of NumP. The variety of Malagasy investigated here (Malagasy2), behaves differently from the one described by Zribi-Hertz and Mbolatianavalona (Malagasy1), and these differences lead to two conclusions. First, there are no syntactically deficient pronouns in Malagasy2, yet these syntactically complete pronouns may, in fact, be bound. Second, Zribi-Hertz and Mbolatianavalona are nevertheless correct that the lack of NumP accounts for a cluster of properties, since none of these distinctions between pronouns that they describe are found in Malagasy2. More broadly, we conclude that pronominal binding does not require syntactic deficiency.
