title: Advancement of a Novel Self-Centring Concentrically Braced Frame (SC-CBF) structural steel system for seismically active zones

description: The self-centring concentrically braced frame (SC-CBF) system developed at University of Galway offers several advantages over traditional concentrically braced frames (CBFs). In this SC-CBF system, post-tensioning elements are used along the beams to create a rocking joint behaviour, which helps absorb seismic energy and reduce the overall seismic demand on the structure. However, a key feature is that this system enables the structure to return to its original position after a significant earthquake. Therefore, residual deformations that compromise the integrity of traditional CBFs can be eliminated. In this thesis, the feasibility of using the SC-CBF system in seismic regions is evaluated through experimental testing and numerical analysis. Additionally, guidelines and design procedures for the SC-CBF systems are developed. A series of laboratory experiments including material tests and shake table tests were conducted to investigate the behaviour of the novel SC-CBF system. A one-storey SC-CBF structure was designed, manufactured and seismically tested on a shake table. Test results have demonstrated that the SC-CBF system performs well under realistic earthquake conditions, achieving a peak drift ratio of 2.51% with negligible residual drift (below 0.06%). This indicates strong self-centring behaviour, allowing the structure to recover most of its deformation after seismic events. Steel samples were cut from the specimens and material testing was performed to characterise the material properties of the steel. Coupon tests consisted of monotonic tensile loading, low-cycle, and extremely low-cycle fatigue loading. These results were used to develop a numerical model in OpenSees. By validating the numerical results with testing data, the model was proven to accurately predict the behaviour of the SC-CBF under seismic loads. Both experimental and numerical analyses demonstrated that the SC-CBF returns to its initial vertical position after large earthquakes, while dissipating energy through braces and, hence, keeping non-dissipative structural elements safe. Furthermore, the design guidelines of SC-CBF buildings, suitable for both Force-Based Design (FBD) and Direct Displacement-Based Design (DDBD) methods, are proposed. Case studies were performed to compare the efficiencies of the structures designed using the two methods. This series of research work helps ensure that the SC-CBF system can be effectively adopted by the industry, leading to overall improved seismic performance and greater resilience in CBF steel structures, fostering the widespread adoption of this innovative structural solution.

description: Causality is a crucial aspect of human rationality, and causal reasoning is a critical element in the development of our mental models of reality. Theories of causality drive scientific inquiry and pervade all dimensions of our daily lives, from the minutiae of deciding what to wear based on weather predictions to medical diagnoses for experienced ailments. Recent advances in language models and AI technologies have demonstrated remarkable performance across a wide range of reasoning and QA tasks, resulting in promises of human-level general intelligence. However, the causal reasoning capabilities of such models remain underexplored, as prior research has been disparate and limited to narrow investigations of causal question-answering (causal QA) tasks. In this thesis, we aim to unify causal QA research, measure the baseline causal reasoning capabilities of language models, and propose foundational resources for the development of Causality-Aware Language Models (CALM) which are effective across diverse causal QA tasks. Inspired by cognitive theories and philosophical accounts of reasoning, we posit a unified definition of causal QA aligned with human causality. Specifically, we introduce CALM-Bench, a multi-task benchmark that consists of diverse causal QA tasks, ranging from causal abduction to effect quantification, and conduct extensive transfer learning experiments. We then introduce CALM-Schema, a semantic schema for the organization of causal knowledge as causal systems, and CALM-KB, the first synthetically generated knowledge base consisting of approximately 5.4K causal systems. CALM-KB is extensively validated in the knowledge injection and RAG settings, and we further detail the benefits and limitations of causal knowledge across common causal reasoning categories. Finally, we investigate the causal explanation capabilities of LLMs and propose IBE-Eval, an interpretable framework for the automatic evaluation of LLM-generated causal explanations. Our research lays the groundwork for future studies on language model causal reasoning and introduces foundational resources for the advancement of CALM models.

description: The Thompson–Isaac Time–Space Theory (TITST) presents a novel framework for modeling spacetime, reframing traditional time dilation as a function of spatial distortion. This formulation extends Special and General Relativity by incorporating effects from quantum entanglement, cosmological expansion, and quantum gravity corrections. TITST is constructed as a modular and adaptable system, compatible with current physical theories while allowing integration of future discoveries. The model has been evaluated against a wide range of relativistic and cosmological datasets, demonstrating alignment within 0–1% discrepancy across over 500 simulations. If validated, TITST offers a path toward unification of gravitational, quantum, and cosmological physics, producing testable predictions that challenge conventional interpretations of spacetime—while remaining consistent with established empirical results.

description: Die Regierung der SVR Hongkong hat einige Erfolge beim Aufbau eines modernen E-Government vorzuweisen. Diese lassen sich grob in zwei Bereiche einteilen: das „Back Office“ und das „Front Office“. Die Basis eines funktionsfähigen E-Government ist eine gut ausgebaute IT-Infrastruktur von Regierung und Verwaltung. Nur wenn die Verwaltung ausreichend computerisiert und untereinander vernetzt ist, ist sie in der Lage, untereinander und mit dem Bürger auf elektronischem Weg zu kommunizieren oder gar elektronische Transaktionen vorzunehmen. Ein gut funktionierendes Back Office ist somit die Voraussetzung für ein bürgernahes elektronisches Front Office.

description: The Pothos genus is extensively utilised in traditional medicine in China and India. An underexplored species of Pothos tener Wall was identified in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Antimicrobial activity was assessed using microdilutions and streak plates against Staphylococcus aureus, Eschericia coli, Aeromonas hydrophila, Aspergillus niger, and Candida albicans. Significant effectiveness was observed in the methanol extract, as indicated by the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) values for three different extracts (methanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane) of P. tener. The isolates obtained were structurally analysed using Ultraviolet (UV)-spectroscopy, Fourier-transform Infra Red-Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Mass Spectroscopy (MS), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and antimicrobial testing after undergoing fractionation and subfractionation. The isolate obtained was stigmasterol with moderate antimicrobial activity against A. niger and A. hydrophila, with MIC equivalent to MBC of 500 µg/ml. The first report of stigmasterol from P. tener has potent antimicrobial properties, bolstering empirical data in this field.

description: Accuride Corporation supplies wheels and wheel-end components for commercial vehicles. The
majority of their business comprises of steel and aluminum wheels. The project that Accuride has
presented is based out of their Henderson, Kentucky steel wheel plant. Accuride is suffering shaft failures
during the flow-forming process, which is an integral part of wheel manufacturing. This process rolls a
steel blank template onto a mandrel using a roll housing. Accuride has emphasized a need for a more
durable shaft design in the roll housing that will decrease this shaft failure during the flow-forming
process. These current failures are costing the plant an annual $200,000 over the last 11-year period. The
objective was to design, simulate, and propose a shaft design that will cost less to maintain, increase
fatigue life, and maintain roll housing compatibility. The options were analyzed using in-depth fatigue
analyses from Shigley's Mechanical Design textbook. Solid Works simulations, and interviews from
Accuride engineers. The final designs were selected based on the analytical results in conjunction with
criteria such as low cost, durability, and service life. After evaluation, two shafts and two bearing
configurations were proposed as viable options for solving the current shaft failure. These options will
prove beneficial by reducing the current shaft expenditures by 43% and saving the company an estimated
$90,000.

description: In Germany, travelling is taken for granted without question. However, it is predominantly practiced by privileged people. This paper discusses climate conscious travelling and unfolds the associated privileges by reconstructing strategies of legitimizing travel practices. Moreover, "flight shame" is discussed as a strategy to reconstruct moral standards of privileges. The empirical basis is provided through discussions with six groups of middle-class people in rural towns as well as urban cities in southern Germany who differ in terms of age, gender and social status. At the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020, the groups discussed the meaning of travel in their lives. In the process, they revealed privileges by taking travel practices for granted and portraying them as indisputable. Subsequently, the paper's focus shifts from the privileges of certain groups to privileged practices that have to be unblinded in the sense of making privileges visible.

Teratoscincus scincus

description: Common Wonder Gecko: Teratoscincus scincus (Schlegel 1858) (Gekkonidae) (Plate 13)
 A widespread species found throughout Central Asia, Iran, Pakistan, and parts of the Arabian Peninsula. Teratoscincus scincus is a strictly nocturnal species which appears to be fairly common within our study area (although this abundance estimate could be a product of our sampling effort—see Discussion). We only detected T. scincus in the northern steppe habitats of our study area, where it was encountered regularly on roads while driving at night, and occasionally on foot when walking in the open steppe after dusk. The species is indicated to occur throughout our study area by Bannikov (1971), although our records represent a slight range extension to the atlas maps produced by Sindaco and Jeremcenko (2008).

description: Das chinesische Arbeitsrecht ist bereits seinem Inhalt nach teilweise „soft-law“. Es beinhaltet die Abkehr vom Grundsatz der Festanstellung der Arbeitnehmer und schafft durch befristete Arbeitsverhältnisse und einen nur sehr begrenzten Kündigungsschutz aus der Sicht der Unternehmer hohe Flexibilität, aus der Sicht der Arbeitnehmer einen geringen Arbeitsplatzschutz. Dennoch enthält es in einer Reihe von Punkten (Überstundenvergütung, Beteiligung von Gewerkschaften, Arbeitsschutzbestimmungen etc.) auch eher strikte Regelungen im Interesse der Arbeitnehmer.

Wettbewerb und Regulierung im chinesischen Telekommunikationssektor: Herausforderung für ausländische Investoren

description: Seit kurzem kann sich die Volksrepublik China rühmen, der weltweit größte Markt für Telekommunikation - gemessen an der absoluten Zahl der Nutzer - zu sein. Diese Tatsache allein kann begründen, warum es sinnvoll ist, sich mit der Entwicklung des Marktes in China auseinander zu setzen. Tatsächlich gibt es bereits heute ein großes Interesse am chinesischen Telekommunikationsmarkt im Ausland. Da aber die Erfahrung mit der Entwicklung anderer Branchen in China lehrt, dass die absolute Größe des Binnenmarktes noch keine Garantie für ein erfolgreiches Engagement ausländischer Unternehmen ist, erscheint es notwendig, die Entwicklungen der Branche genauer zu beleuchten.

 Distributed across Central Asia, western China, and north-eastern Iran, E. grammica is an uncommon species in our study area. It was only observed in vegetated sand dune habitats similar to those inhabited by E. lineolata and E. scripta. It has been previously reported as occurring throughout the study area (Bannikov 1971; Sindaco and Jeremcenko 2008).

 A widely, although patchily, distributed species found throughout Central Asia, western China, Iran, and Pakistan. It is rare within our study area, having been recorded a total of four times. It appears to inhabit similar habitats to E. lineolata and E. grammica, being found locally within well-vegetated sand dune fields. While E. scripta has been noted as occurring at Lake Tudakul (BirdLife International 2016d), our records of this species in the northern steppe and Uchkuduk areas represent regional range extensions to its known distribution, with none of our consulted sources noting its occurrence in these areas of central Uzbekistan.

description: Trotz SARS ist das wirtschaftliche Wachstum Chinas im Wesentlichen ungebrochen. Beinahe täglich wächst das wirtschaftliche und damit außenpolitische Gewicht der Volksrepublik. Andererseits hat das anhaltende Wachstum zu enormen Disparitäten in der Verteilung des wirtschaftlichen Reichtums geführt. Der extreme Preisanstieg hat die Freisetzung ländlicher Arbeitskräfte und deren Migration in Richtung Osten und Küste beschleunigt. Schätzungen sprechen von 150 Mio., z.T. sogar von bis zu 300 Mio. Wanderarbeitnehmern innerhalb Chinas. Die Transformation der sozialistischen Staatswirtschaft in ein marktwirtschaftlich orientiertes System vergrößert auch die Arbeitslosigkeit in den Städten: Nicht alle von Staatsbetrieben freigesetzten Arbeitnehmer können von neugegründeten Privatunternehmen übernommen werden.

 A less widely-distributed species than E. tataricus. Eryx miliaris is largely confined to Central Asia, with its range extending slightly into Iran and southern European Russia. An uncommon species in our study area, it was detected about as frequently, and in similar habitats to, E. tataricus. Our records of this species constitute a regional range extension. BirdLife International (2016d) noted its presence at Lake Tudakul, but none of our consulted sources indicate the species to occur in Karnabchul or the northern steppe areas where we have detected it.
