description: Systems and processes of providing novel thermal energy sources for hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) reactors are described herein. According to various implementations, the systems and processes use concentrated solar thermal energy from a focused high-energy beam to provide sufficient energy for driving the HTL biomass-to-biocrude process. In addition, other implementations convert biowaste, such as municipal biosolids and grease and food waste, to biocrude using anaerobic digesters, and a portion of the biogas generated by the digesters is used to produce the thermal and/or electrical energy used in the HTL reactor for the biomass-to-biocrude process. Furthermore, alternative implementations may include a hybrid system that uses biogas and solar radiation to provide sufficient thermal energy for the HTL reactor.

description: The sensitivity of a graphene gas sensor to a gas analyte molecule may be significantly enhanced using molecular doping, which may be as effective as substitutional doping and more effective than electric-field doping. In particular, the room temperature sensitivity of NO2-doped graphene to NH3 was measured to be comparable to the sensitivity of graphene doped with substitutional boron atoms and superior to that of undoped graphene by an order of magnitude. The detection limit for NO2-doped graphene gas sensors was estimated to be about 200 ppb, which may be improved with extended exposure to NO2, compared to a detection limit of about 1.4 ppm for undoped graphene. While the stability analysis of NO2-doped graphene sensors indicates that the doping method may not be completely stable, molecular doping is nevertheless a candidate technique for sensitivity improvement by enhancing the initial carrier concentration.

description: Memristor-based adders using memristors-as-drivers (MAD) gates. As a result of employing MAD gates in memristor-based adders, such as ripple carry adders, carry select adders, conditional sum adders and carry lookahead adders, the number of delay steps may be less than half than the number of delay steps required in traditional CMOS implementations of adders. Furthermore, by using MAD gates, memristor-based adders can be implemented with less complexity (e.g., fewer memristors and drivers). As a result, by the memristor-based adders using MAD gates, the speed and complexity of a wide variety of arithmetic operations is improved.

description: Methods for fabricating and replicating self-aligned multi-tier nanoscale structures for a variety of cross-sectional geometries. These methods can utilize a single lithography step whereby the need for alignment and overlay in the process is completely eliminated thereby enabling near-zero overlay error. Furthermore, techniques are developed to use these methods to fabricate self-aligned nanoscale multi-level/multi-height patterns with various shapes for master templates, replica templates and nanoimprint based pattern replication. Furthermore, the templates can be used to pattern multiple levels in a sacrificial polymer resist and achieve pattern transfer of the levels into a variety of substrates to form completed large area nanoelectronic and nanophotonic devices using only one patterning step.

description: Although insects have long been part of the human diet in many countries, they are poorly received and accepted in European and North American countries. Therefore, this cross-sectional observational study, based on a structured questionnaire, aimed to evaluate the level of acceptability of entomophagy among young adults in a Swiss university context. The variable “acceptability of consuming insects” (ACI) was calculated according to the perception of entomophagy of each participant. The ACI was related to various socio-demographic and behavioral aspects. A total of 290 responses were validated and analyzed. The mean ACI score was 3.7 out of 6.0 (SD 1.1). Most participants responded that the most likely reason for eating insect foods was curiosity. The most common reason for not eating such foods was disgust. None of the socio-demographic variables showed a significant association with ACI. Generally, participants in this study showed a potential interest in entomophagy—on a theoretical level, as measured here by the ACI. In practice, however, there are still barriers, including disgust, which contribute to the low consumption of these foods, at least in Switzerland.

description: Background: Air pollution exposure during pregnancy has been associated with adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes. Inflammation has been proposed as a potential link. We estimated associations between air pollution exposure during pregnancy and inflammatory biomarkers in maternal and cord blood. We evaluated whether maternal inflammation was associated with infant outcomes. Methods: Among 515 mother-infant dyads in the Healthy Start study (2009–2014), trimester-long, 7- and 30-day average concentrations of particulate matter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5) and ozone (O3) during pregnancy were estimated, using inverse-distance-weighted interpolation. Inflammatory biomarkers were measured in maternal blood in mid-pregnancy (C-reactive protein [CRP], Interleukin [IL]-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α [TNFα]) and in cord blood at delivery (CRP, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 [MCP-1], and TNFα). We used linear regression to estimate associations between pollutants and inflammatory biomarkers and maternal inflammatory biomarkers and infant weight and body composition. Results: There were positive associations between PM2.5 during certain exposure periods and maternal IL-6 and TNFα. There were negative associations between recent O3 and maternal CRP, IL-6, and TNFα and positive associations between trimester-long O3 exposure and maternal inflammatory biomarkers, though some 95% confidence intervals included the null. Patterns were inconsistent for associations between PM2.5 and O3 and cord blood inflammatory biomarkers. No consistent associations between maternal inflammatory biomarkers and infant outcomes were identified. Conclusions: Air pollution exposure during pregnancy may impact maternal inflammation. Further investigations should examine the health consequences for women and infants of elevated inflammatory biomarkers associated with air pollution exposure during pregnancy.

Compared with standard N point pipeline FFTs, the modular pipeline FFT maintains the bandwidth of existing pipeline FFTs with reduced dynamic power consumption and reduced complexity of the overall hardware pipeline.

description: Fresh intact porcine semi-membranosus muscles (N=151) were measured between 30 and 60 min post mortem along the slaughter line of a commercial abattoir using a hand held device to determine the ability of Raman spectroscopy to predict meat quality. Technologically mportant quality traits such as pH35, pH24 and drip loss (DL) were measured using classical reference analysis and they were correlated with the Raman spectra using partial least squares regression. Predicting pH35, pH24and DL yielded a coefficient of determination of 0.75, 0.58 and 0.83 and a root mean square error of cross validation of 0.09 pH-units, 0.05 pH-units and 0.6 %, respectively. For the models, Raman signals of energy metabolites such as lactate, phosphate, ATP and phosphocreatine were weighted. This is the first Raman pectroscopic study to measure and predict quality traits in intact muscles along the slaughtering process showing the potential of early postmortem Raman spectra to measure pH35 and to predict pH24 and DL.

description: Dieser Outbreak-Thriller, den wir gerade mit der Corona-Pandemie in Echtzeit erleben, wurde zuvor schon unzählige Male in Filmen, Spielen, Büchern und Comics vorgezeichnet. Insbesondere im Zombie-Subgenre ist es mittlerweile Standard, eine Pandemie zu behaupten. Allerdings sieht man hier bestenfalls die physiologischen Folgen des Pathogens am Menschen. Zombies mit ihren zerfallenen, missgestalteten Körpern etwa. Dagegen finden sich seit wenigen Jahren, und hier vor allem in digitalen Spielen, zunehmend Beispiele, in welchen das konkrete Pathogen sichtbarer Teil der jeweiligen Spielwelt wird und nicht mehr nur ausschließlich über indirekte Symptome identifizierbar ist. Diese biologistische Invasion des Spielraumes (daher auch: Space Invaders) führt zu einer Umkehrung der Agency und der Autonomie seiner Bewohner im Spiel: im biologisierten, entstellten Raum wird der Spieler (wie auch die NPCs) der Kontrolle beraubt, während das verräumlichte Monströse selbst zur handlungsleitenden Instanz des Spiels wird. Diese entgrenzende Hybridisierung von biologischem Körper und physischem Raum wird im Folgenden zunächst anhand der Beispiele Resident Evil VII und A Plague Tale: Innocence vorgestellt. Anschließend wird auf einer funktionalen Ebene beschrieben, wie die Invasion des Biologischen sowohl Einfluss auf den Möglichkeitsraum und die Eigenlogik von Spiel und Spieler nimmt, wie auch einen kognitiven Affektraum vorbereitet. Schließlich wird in einem dritten Schritt dieser Modus der Darstellung mit übergeordneten ideologischen Diskurssträngen in Einklang gebracht.

description: Purpose: Assess family-level factors associated with childhood immunization schedule adherence. Design: Prospective cohort; Setting; The Healthy Start study enrolled 1,410 pregnant women in Denver, Colorado 2009-2014 Subjects: Children with available vaccination data in medical records (0-6 years old) Measures: Vaccine schedule completion and compliance Analysis: Logistic regression comparing family-level factors that differ based on vaccine schedule adherence Results: Most immunizations required in Colorado for school entry were below national completion goals with 61.8% of participants (n = 532/861) completing the full vaccination series. Most participants received the first dose of individual vaccines on time (73.5% - 90.7%), but fewer received all doses on time (21.0% - 39.5%). Factors associated with not completing the vaccination series (OR [95% CI]) included: in-utero exposure to cigarette smoke (1.97 [1.41, 2.75]), single parent household (1.70 [1.21, 2.38]), children identified as non-White (Hispanic 1.40 [1.01, 1.94]; Black 1.88 [1.24, 2.85]; Other 2.17 [1.34, 3.49]), mothers not working outside the home (1.98 [1.46, 2.67]), and household income <$70,000 per year (<$40,000 1.93 [1.35, 2.75]; $40,000-$70,000 1.64 [1.09, 2.46]). Conversely, families with more educated mothers (0.47 [0.29, 0.76]) and older parents (0.97 [0.94, 0.99]) were significantly more likely to complete the series. Conclusions: These findings may help identify groups at risk of immunization schedule non-adherence and may be used to target education/advocacy campaigns to reduce hesitancy and increase access in these populations.
Impact of Changing Lifestyle on Municipal Solid Waste Generation in Residential Areas: The Case of Qatar
Creators: name: Bello, Hafis
Publisher: name: Manara - Qatar Research Repository
Year: 2024

subject: Philosophy and religious studies

description: Qatar currently has one of the highest per capita municipal waste generation in the world. The continuous increase in household wastes, and overfilled landfills threaten available spaces for urban development programmes in the country. Consequently, this study examined the lifestyle factors that have led to high municipal solid waste generation in the country. Data were gathered from both primary and secondary sources. Considering the socio-cultural factors in the country, the convenience sampling technique was adopted. Thus, questionnaires were administered via online survey. At the end of the survey, 68 responses were received, and utilized for the study. The analysis of Data used the descriptive and inferential statistical tools via the SPSS 24 software. Descriptive tools used are frequency tables, bar-diagrams, line graphs, pie charts, averages, and relative importance index while Pearson Correlation was used to make inferences. The study observed a direct relationship between the increasing population in Qatar and the high municipal solid waste generation; and that 50 percent of the respondents have household sizes of between 4-7 persons. Over 90 percent of the respondents have university education. The RII result of 3.514 out of 5 showed that kitchen waste accounts for over 70 percent of the household wastes in Qatar. This is followed in rank by nylon wastes while plastic wastes ranked third. Other waste components are paper and cardboard, glass, and wood and furniture. The calculated average daily waste generated per capita is 1.135kg. The study gathered that the municipalities, at no cost to the residents, mostly collect household wastes and most of the respondents do not sort their household wastes before disposal. With a Pearson Correlation coefficient value of 0.305 at 0.05 significant level, the study indicated a moderate positive relationship between household size and waste generated from the households. Other socio-economic lifestyle variables such as income level, education factor, and age did not prove to have such significant relationship with municipal solid waste in the area. The study recommended that in addition to coordinated sensitization programmes of waste sorting from the source, the government should set a weight limit of 7kg/household per day. Any household whose wastes exceed this set level should be charged for per kilogram on the extra weight at the end of each month.

description: A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication system. A transmitter that includes a plurality of transmit antennas selects one of a spatial multiplexing scheme and a spatial diversity scheme, processes a signal in the selected transmission scheme, and transmits the signal through the plurality of transmit antennas. A receiver that includes a plurality of receive antennas processes a signal in a reception scheme mapped to a transmission scheme of the transmitter. The transmission schemes include a transmission scheme for maximizing diversity gain and a transmission scheme for maximizing spectral efficiency. The MIMO communication system using an adaptive transmission mode switching technique performs switching between MIMO transmission modes using spatial selectivity of a channel, thereby obtaining maximum gain in a signal to noise ratio (SNR) and spectral efficiency according to channel state.

Towards the algorithmic detection of archetypal structures in system dynamics

description: Traditionally, model analysis follows qualitative, heuristic, and trial‐and‐error‐driven approaches for testing dynamic hypotheses. Only recently have other methods like loop dominance analysis or control theory been proposed for this purpose. We advocate complementing established qualitative heuristics with a quantitative method for model analysis. To that end, we propose two algorithms to detect Wolstenholme's four generic problem archetypes within models. We tested these algorithms using the Maintenance and World Dynamics models. The approach presented in this paper is a first important step towards the identification of system archetypes in system dynamics and contributes to improving model analysis and diagnosis. Furthermore, our approach goes beyond diagnosis to eliciting solution archetypes, which foster the design and implementation of effective policies.
