description: Moisture transport in masonry is an important research subject in building physics related to durability issues such as cracking due to restrained shrinkage, frost damage, staining due to salt efflorescence or algae growth, salt damage due to crystallization; and is of particular interest for the renovation and construction industry.

Moisture transfer in masonry, being a multi-layered material, is not as straightforward as in homogeneous porous material. A first aspect is the dependence of moisture transport properties of mortars on the curing conditions. A second aspect is the contact between brick and mortar joint. Perfect hydraulic contact, meaning a continuity of the capillary pressure at the interface, can only be assured artificially by applying a kaolin layer between brick and mortar. Real contact between brick and joint mortar seems to be an imperfect contact, resulting in a resistance for moisture transport.

The main issue in the modelling of moisture transfer in masonry is how to cover the behaviour at the interface between brick and mortar joint. In literature, several authors introduce in their model an additional resistance in order to cover the influence of the interface on the moisture transport (Qui et al. 2002; Holm et al. 1996; de Freitas et al. 1996). In this paper, three modelling approaches are presented to describe liquid water transport in masonry, with special attention to the transport across the interface.

Experiments are performed on masonry samples consisting of brick-mortar joint-brick. Moisture uptake perpendicular and parallel to the mortar joint is measured using X-ray analysis. A first modelling approach is to consider the interface as a thin layer of mortar, where the thickness is determined from experiments. This thin layer has adapted properties, taking into account a reduced permeability and the presence of compaction voids. A second modelling approach is to add a resistance between the brick and the mortar joint. A third modelling approach is based on the partition of unity technique. The interface is assumed to be an imperfect contact where a damage parameter describes the discontinuity in capillary pressure. Both transfer directions (perpendicular and parallel to the mortar joint) are simulated and a comparison between the three modeling approaches is made.

description: To realize a stable hygric indoor climate, hygroscopic moisture buffering by materials plays an important role. Not only finishing materials on indoor surfaces, but also textiles (curtains, pillows) and paper (books) show an important moisture buffering capacity. In this paper, the role of books in the stabilization of indoor climates is studied.

Recently, a model for hygroscopic buffering by books has been presented (Derluyn et al. 2007) introducing an effective vapour permeability and moisture capacity. This model is applied for the modelling of small scale experiments performed on book samples of 40x40x20 mm. The samples are initially in equilibrium at 0 % RH and then subsequently exposed to a step in RH to 54% and 79.5% RH. In a next step the relative humidity decreases again to 54% RH and finally, a cyclic RH is imposed, fluctuating between 54% and 79.5% RH. During the test, the weight change of the samples is monitored. As paper clearly behaves hysteretic, a hygric hysteresis model is incorporated based on the independent domains theory. A good agreement between measurement and simulation is obtained.

In a second experiment, the hygroscopic buffering of books on a shelf in a room is measured. First the climatic room is conditioned at constant temperature and relative humidity. The books are in equilibrium with the relative humidity of the room. Then, a moisture production protocol is imposed and the relative humidity in the room is monitored. A fan helps to obtain well mixed air conditions. Air speed, air temperature and relative humidity is measured at different positions in the room and around the books, specifically near to the book shelf and in between the book shelves. The weight change of the books is measured. The results are compared with a room without books on the shelves.
The moisture balance for the room is modeled using two different approaches. In the first approach, well mixed air conditions are assumed, while in the second approach the air flow around the books is modeled using CFD and location dependent mass surface coefficients are determined. The simulation results for the two approaches are compared with the measurements.

description: Due to solar radiation and night time sky radiation flat roofs with dark roofing membranes experience higher thermal loads than other building components. Therefore this construction type was chosen to evaluate extreme hygrothermal conditions in mineral fibre insulations. To increase also the moisture content two litres of water per m² were inserted to a test roof on the field test site of the Fraunhofer IBP in Holzkirchen before closing the construction. The measured conditions in the roof serve to validate hygrothermal simulations and allow in a second step to “transfer” the test roof to other locations in Northern and Southern Europe. As result the maximum temperature and moisture conditions and their coincidence occuring in an insulation layer of a building envelope in Europe can be determined.

These results are compared to the climate conditions of current test procedures to determine the durability of mineral fibre insulation materials. The rather extreme temperatures and humidities (above 60 or 70 °C and 95 to 100 % RH) applied during these tests lead to a significant reduction of the tensile and compressive strength of glass fibre materials which cannot be observed in real life. Neither in the insulation layer of an ETICS - which was subject of earlier investigations - nor in the flat roof insulation layer such combinations of high temperature and RH were detected. A test procedure shall accelerate the normal degradation process but not make fail a solution which performs well in reality. Therefore a new test procedure is proposed which is closer to the real maximum conditions and should therefore lead to a more realistic performance assessment of the insulation material.

description: About 50% of premature neonates (PN) are treated with transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBC) collected from adult donors, which has been suggested to potentially provoke PN pathologies, characterized as blood circulation disorders. RBC have properties that are key determinants of blood circulation, primarily the cell deformability. In previous studies we have shown that transfusion of RBC with reduced deformability impaired the transfusion outcome. Although RBC of PN (PN-RBC) are larger, and their microvessels are narrower than those of adults, their blood circulation is very efficient, pointing to the possibility that the deformability of adults' PRBC is inferior to that of PN-RBC, and that treating PN with PRBC transfusion might, therefore, introduce a risk to the recipients. This would infer that PN should be given RBC with high deformability. However, since using PN-RBC is not feasible, the use of cord blood RBC (CB-RBC) is a sound alternative, assuming that the deformability of CB-RBC is comparable to that of PN-RBC.The present study is aimed at testing this hypothesis. We compared the deformability of (1) RBC of PN vs. the PRBC they received, and (2) PN-RBC vs. their autologous CB-RBC. 1. The deformability of the transfused PRBC is indeed inferior to that of PN-RBC. 2. The deformability of CB-RBC is equivalent to that of PN-RBC. This study supports the notion that treating PN with transfusion of adults' PRBC has the potential to introduce a circulatory risk to the recipients, while CB-RBC, with their superior deformability, provides a safer and more effective PN-specific transfusion therapy.

description: Current models to predict heat, air and moisture (HAM) conditions in building components assume uniform boundary conditions, both for the temperature and relative humidity of the air in an indoor space as well as for the surface transfer coefficients. Such models cannot accurately predict the HAM conditions in the component with non-uniform air temperature or relative humidity distributions in an indoor space. Moreover, the heat and moisture surface transfer coefficients strongly depend on the local air velocity, local temperature, water-material interactions and water content at the material surface and surface texture of the material. A more detailed description and prediction of the interaction between the indoor environment and the HAM conditions in the building component would be desired. The predicted heat, air and moisture conditions in the building component, as well as on its surfaces, will serve as input for subsequent assessment of the durability of building components.

In the work presented in this paper, an airflow model is used to describe the non-uniform indoor airflow near the building component. The airflow model is integrated into an existing HAM building component model. Approaches to model the non-uniform indoor airflow near the building component have been investigated. A sensitivity study has been carried out to investigate the possible benefits of integrating the non-uniform indoor airflow near the building component in the HAM component model for a building component with specific characteristics. Advantages, disadvantages and limitations of the developed models are evaluated.

description: Proceedings of the ESSLLI 2022 Student Session Symmetry, locality and hyperintensionality Maria Beatrice Buonaguidi In response to an article by Odintsov and Wansing which
 defines a formal notion of hyperintensionality and claims that, according to this notion, Leitgeb’s logic HYPE cannot be hyperintensional, I put forward three notions of hyperintensionality. I show that HYPE satisfies only the weakest of these three notions, and claim that HYPE can be understood as a sort of middle ground between an intensional logic and a hyperintensional logic.

description: The use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) orientated work processes is gaining more and more momentum in the construction industry worldwide. At the same time, the demand for energy efficient and well climatised buildings increases. Using an integrated design process within the design team is seen as one of the best ways to achieve better performance of buildings during the design stage.

The aim for this project is to define how an integrated design process can be improved by using BIM orientated work processes. The hypothesis is that BIM work processes can create an improved and controlled information flow and a faster and more qualified basis for decisions during integrated design. This should ultimately lead to better energy and indoor climate conditions for buildings.

The project will focus on analysing input and output data during comfort and energy simulations in order to define the exchange requirements for such simulations. Combining research on BIM technology with the exchange requirements, the idea is to sketch an ideal process of how to use comfort and energy simulations during integrated design facilitated by BIM work processes. The IFC format is used as the shared file format throughout the process in order to create a standardised process which is independent of software products.

The entire process is controlled by a change management concept inspired by the airplane and software industry in order to improve the information exchange and, hence, the integrated design process.

Part of the process defined in the project will be tested using real life project data combined with software developed to support the selected parts of the process.

Experimental Testing of the Wick-Concept Insulation

description: The wick-concept insulation for cold piping is based on capillary suction of a fibre fabric to remove condensed water vapour from the cold pipe surface to the outer surface of the insulation, from where it will evaporate to the ambient air, as long as ambient conditions allow evaporation. The wick keeps the insulation dry, allowing it to maintain its thermal performance. Long term accumulation of moisture in the insulation material is avoided.

Experiments were carried out in a laboratory of the DTU. Existing horizontal environmental chambers were supplemented with a vertical chamber. Two cooling plants maintained fluid temperature between +10 to -10 °C. In all chambers there were single ended cold pipes – two in each horizontal chamber, one in the vertical chamber. Several experiments under various boundary conditions and different second jacketing  demonstrated possibilities for use of the wick-concept insulation. These results show that this type of insulation works for pipes with temperature above 0 °C and for common boundary conditions occurring in industry.

description: Autoimmune diseases disproportionately affect women and have been linked to increased risk of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of autoimmune disease among pregnant women and women of reproductive age (WRA), which is not well described. A population-based study was conducted using data from a survey of general practitioner (GP) encounters and state-wide hospital admissions in New South Wales (NSW). A list of 29 conditions and relevant diagnosis codes was used to identify autoimmune disease. Prevalence estimates and trends were calculated using population denominators for GP encounters for WRA in 2011–2015 and hospital admissions for WRA and pregnant women in 2013–2017. A total 31,065 GP encounters for WRA were identified and 607 (2.0%) reported an autoimmune disease, equivalent to 1.1 GP encounters per 10 WRA each year when extrapolating to NSW population figures. For WRA admitted to hospital, 2.6% had an autoimmune diagnosis recorded each year equivalent to a population prevalence of 0.5%. A total 477,243 births were identified, of which 4230 mothers (0.9%) had at least one autoimmune disease recorded during a 1-year pregnancy lookback period. Autoimmune disease prevalence among both pregnant women and WRA either attending GP or hospital increased, on average, 2–4% per year over the study period. A small, but potentially growing proportion of reproductive age and pregnant women have a diagnosed autoimmune disease, and this may impact their health outcomes.

description: Cervical funneling is associated with spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). The aim of this analysis was to assess the relationship between funneling shape and the response to the McDonald cerclage, the Arabin pessary and the early total cervical occlusion (ETCO). We retrospectively analyzed data of 312 randomly selected singleton pregnancies with cervical shortening <25 mm or normal cervical length and evaluated them according to the progression of funneling: control group (n = 46), cervical shortening without funneling (n = 107), V-shaped funneling (n = 68), U-shaped funneling (n = 47), and prolapse of the amniotic sac (n = 44). We evaluated sPTB rates <34, <28, <32, and <37 weeks as well as prolongation of gestation and birthweight. Regarding the rate of sPTB <34 weeks there was no statistical significance in either of the comparisons between control group and each of the four risk groups. Regarding prolongation of gestation we demonstrated a statistical significance for all risk groups compared to the control group (all p < .05) with the lowest prolongation rate noted in the group with amnion prolapse and the highest in the group with isolated cervical shortening without funneling. Similarly, progression of funnel shape resulted in an absolute decrease of birthweight for all risk groups compared to the control group, albeit not significant for the group with U-shaped funneling (p = .1058). Independent of the treatment, there was a significant impact of funneling shape on pregnancy duration and birthweight.

description: In 2006, new tighter energy performance requirements were introduced in Denmark for both new buildings and renovation. These demands are based on the directive on Energy Performance of Buildings, the EPBD (2002/91/EC). In general the effect of the new requirements for renovation is that existing buildings should be brought up to the energy performance level of new buildings in connection with larger renovations and other substantial changes in the buildings.

To demonstrate how it could be done in small residential buildings, a thorough energy efficient renovation of a typical Danish single-family house from the 1960/70’s with need of renovation was initiated by Rockwool International in 2005 and the results from the project are presented in the paper. The house is typical as about 500,000 of a total of 1.1 million Danish detached single-family houses were erected in the 1960/70’s.

The purpose of the project has been to demonstrate and document that energy efficient renovation of a typical single-family house would lead to large reductions in energy consumption in a cost efficient manner and at the same time improve living conditions and achieve a commonly acceptable design.

A detailed monitoring program was implemented in order to document the energy performance and indoor climate before and after the renovation, which included measurements of energy consumptions, air change rates using blower door and tracer gas methods, indoor climate conditions and solar radiation. One whole year of measurements before and after the renovation is included in the paper.

The lessons learned during the process of renovating the house are described. Also, the cost effectiveness of the energy saving measures is accessed, taking into account the twofold benefit of renovation, i.e. the energy savings and the rehabilitation of the building elements physical condition (longer lifetime).

Preliminary results from the project are described in [Tommerup 2007].

A similar energy renovation project was carried out a few years ago regarding an old poorly insulated single-family house built in 1927. This project showed that large profitable energy savings are indeed possible. The results are summarized in [Overgaard 2005].

description: Sweat is important for the response of human body in the thermal environment. It is usually simplified as pure water when the influence of sweat on the human body temperature is studied for the prediction and evaluation of the thermal comfort. However sweat is, in reality, salt water with low concentration. Not only does the salt change the vapour pressure of the water, it may also affect the permeability of water in clothing because of the blocking of water movement by salt. This paper addresses these influences of the salt on the heat and moisture transfer in clothing.
In the first part of this paper, the simultaneous heat, moisture and salt transfer in clothing is modelled in order to quantify the salt influences on the heat and moisture transfer. A sorption isotherm of a cloth of 100 % cotton is modelled taking into account salt influences and then implemented in the system of the transport equations. The second part reports on laboratory experiments of pure and salt water uptake, using sodium chloride that is the main impurity of sweat. The experimental results show that the salt water penetrates into the cloth more slowly than the pure water, which corresponds to the fact that the salt lowers the chemical potential of water. Lastly the experimental results are numerically analysed with the proposed model. A good agreement has been obtained between the calculation results and the measurement ones. The numerical analyses also indicate that the influences of the salt can not be ignored when the salt accumulates in clothing (e.g. after several sweating and drying processes).

description: This paper presents three different low energy windows for residential buildings which have been developed at the Technical University of Denmark during the last 8 years. The three windows are designed to maximize the net energy gain. The net energy gain of windows is the solar gain minus the heat loss integrated over the heating season. The solar gain can be calculated for one orientation or averaged over different orientations representing a standard house. Calculation of the net energy gain assumes that all of the solar gain from the windows can be utilized for space heating during the heating season in residential buildings. Problems with overheating in the summer period must be solved with overhang or moveable solar shading devices.
To increase the net energy gain slim frame profiles have been developed to increase the glazing area and thereby the solar gain. The challenge when developing slim frame profiles is to make enough space for hinges and fasteners and still maintaining the functionality and strength of the window. Proposals for new hinges and alternative mounting method for windows are also presented in this paper.
The first window constructed was made of wood profiles and a low energy double glazing unit. The other two windows were made of fiber-reinforced plastic (plastic reinforced by fine fibers made of glass). This composite material is a weatherproof material with very low thermal conductivity and high mechanical strength. These properties make the material very suitable for frame profiles due to lower heat loss and longer durability of the window. The glazing in these fiber reinforced polyester windows is both unsealed and sealed triple glazing units.
The paper also presents the results of a U-value measurement of one of the fiber-reinforced plastic windows which confirms the thermal calculations. The measurement showed a U-value of 1.03 W/m²K for a window in standard size (1480 mm • 1230). The net energy gain for a standard single-light window in Denmark is approximately minus 40-50 kWh/m² per year. The windows presented in this paper have a positive net energy gain of 0 - 20 kWh/m² per year.

description: ABSTRACT In recent years, various proprietary treatment technologies have evolved to reduce the polluting impact of urban run-off on receiving watercourses. The majority are \342\200\230flow-through\342\200\231 devices, designed to intercept and store pollutants in submerged chambers for later removal and safe disposal. Frequently, the performance of such systems is described solely in terms of \342\200\230ability to remove pollutants from the inflow\342\200\231, usually at specified discrete flowrates. However, it is suggested that this is insufficient to give a true assessment of performance and a critical parameter that is often overlooked is chamber \342\200\230retention efficiency\342\200\231, the ability of a chamber to retain stored pollutants once collected. In the current study, this parameter is investigated experimentally for a range of chamber configurations. Cylindrical chambers with different inlet orientations, internal components and hence flow dynamics are considered. The study identifies retention efficiency as being a major differentiator between designs, and concludes that chambers in which captured pollutants are stored in regions that are hydraulically isolated from the main treatment area are likely to be the most effective in practice.

description: Cervical funneling is associated with spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). The aim of this analysis was to assess the relationship between funneling shape and the response to the McDonald cerclage, the Arabin pessary and the early total cervical occlusion (ETCO). We retrospectively analyzed data of 312 randomly selected singleton pregnancies with cervical shortening <25 mm or normal cervical length and evaluated them according to the progression of funneling: control group (n = 46), cervical shortening without funneling (n = 107), V-shaped funneling (n = 68), U-shaped funneling (n = 47), and prolapse of the amniotic sac (n = 44). We evaluated sPTB rates <34, <28, <32, and <37 weeks as well as prolongation of gestation and birthweight. Regarding the rate of sPTB <34 weeks there was no statistical significance in either of the comparisons between control group and each of the four risk groups. Regarding prolongation of gestation we demonstrated a statistical significance for all risk groups compared to the control group (all p < .05) with the lowest prolongation rate noted in the group with amnion prolapse and the highest in the group with isolated cervical shortening without funneling. Similarly, progression of funnel shape resulted in an absolute decrease of birthweight for all risk groups compared to the control group, albeit not significant for the group with U-shaped funneling (p = .1058). Independent of the treatment, there was a significant impact of funneling shape on pregnancy duration and birthweight.

description: Total Suspended Solids (TSS) is commonly used as a measure of particle concentration in stormwater. The breakdown of TSS into subgroups based on particle size is an important step in describing stormwater characteristics. A simple classification system is proposed that divides solids into four size ranges; Very Fine (VFPs, <8μm), Fine (FPs, 8-63μm), Medium (MPs, 63-500μm) and Coarse Particles (CPs, >500μm). The use of passive samplers to obtain unbiased, flow-weighted samples of non-Coarse particles was investigated. Two alternative passive samplers referred to as a flow splitter and an orifice and weir device were designed, constructed and tested. The flow splitter outperformed the orifice and weir device in terms of sampling accuracy. Based on hydraulic testing up to 5 L/s, the flow splitter was able to accurately (\302\2612% error) obtain a constant sample volume: flow volume ratio compared to a \302\26115% error for the orifice and weir. Based on sediment testing, the performance of the flow splitter in obtaining VFP and FP samples was similar to that of high frequency grab sampling. Samples collected by the flow splitter matched theoretical concentrations of particles less than 63μm to within \302\2612% error. All sampling methods significantly underestimated the concentration of particles greater than 63μm (MPs) and more research is needed in this area. Overall, the flow splitter is considered to have significant potential for determining the Event Mean Concentration of stormwater particles.

description: Traditional and lightweight cryptography primitives and protocols are insecure against quantum attacks. Thus, a real-time application using traditional or lightweight cryptography primitives and protocols does not ensure full-proof security. Post-quantum Cryptography is important for the Internet of Things (IoT) due to its security against Quantum attacks. This paper offers a broad literature analysis of post-quantum cryptography for IoT networks, including the challenges and research directions to adopt in real-time applications. The work draws focus towards post-quantum cryptosystems that are useful for resource-constraint devices. Further, those quantum attacks are surveyed, which may occur over traditional and lightweight cryptographic primitives.

description: The development and implementation of a real-time control strategy for the sewer system of the Vienna city was scheduled for completion in 2004, but the implementation of the first phase was finished in early 2005. The 4.5 years project comprises all planning and implemen-tation phases. A measuring system including 25 rainfall, 40 flow and 20 water level measurements was im-plemented to serve for model calibration and real-time control purposes. The detailed network of approx. 53,000 pipes was reduced to a coarse network of approx. 2,600 pipes. The land use data were derived from aerial photographs. Rainfall runoff simulations were used to examine the system behavior and to develop the rule base. In a simulated real-time control the rule base was improved, while further improvements will be done on-line with a self-learning sys-tem. A forecasting model using rainfall radar data will additionally influence the control deci-sions. The simulated results for the first phase of implementation, demonstrating the benefits of RTC for the Vienna sewer system are explained. The comparison between measured and simulated real-time control are not presented in the paper but in the oral presentation. The ex-perience gained from implementation is discussed.

description: Coordinated groups of user accounts working together in online social media can be used to manipulate the online discourse and thus is an important area of study. In this study, we work towards a general theory of coordination. There are many ways to coordinate groups online: semantic, social, referral and many more. Each represents a coordination dimension, where the more dimensions of coordination are present for one event, the stronger the coordination present. We build on existing approaches that detect coordinated groups by identifying high levels of synchronized actions within a specified time window. A key concern with this approach is the selection of the time window. We propose a method that selects the optimal window size to accurately capture local coordination while avoiding the capture of coincidental synchronicity. With this enhanced method of coordination detection, we perform a comparative study across four events: US Elections Primaries 2020, Reopen America 2020, Capitol Riots 2021 and COVID Vaccine Release 2021. Herein, we explore the following three dimensions of coordination for each event -- semantic, referral and social coordination -- and perform group and user analysis within and among the events. This allows us to expose different user coordination behavior patterns and identify narratives and user support themes, hence estimating the degree and theme of coordination.

description: Detention basin outlet flow control structures typically include a weir, orifice, and/or culvert. One disadvantage of these types of control structures is that the flow rate continually varies with the water level in the detention basin. The corresponding outflow hydrographs for such control structures are typically bell shaped, with the maximum allowable peak flow duration lasting only a \342\200\234moment\342\200\235 at the point where the rising leg of the hydrograph transitions to the falling leg of the hydrograph. The outlet control structure is sized according to that maximum flow rate that lasts for only a moment. The required storage volume of the detention basin is the difference between the basin\342\200\231s inflow and outflow hydrographs. This paper describes the mode of operation and presents experimental results of a new detention basin outlet structure (DBOS) where the outflow hydrograph reaches the allowable peak discharge early in the storm event and maintains that flow rate for the majority of the runoff period. By increasing the discharge rate from the detention basin, the required storage volume can be reduced. This can result in significant economic savings, particularly in areas where the available land is either very expensive, scarce, or both.
