Domestic Fiction
Fin-de-siecle

description: This thesis considers three British novels of the 1880s that imagined a range of middle-class domestic configurations that deviated in new ways from the long-contested fiction of the British household as a patriarchal stronghold. Although mid-Victorian novels very often featured narratives of domestic upheaval, they did so in a way that sensationalized and emphasized the rarity of middle-class familial deviance. In contrast, the fin-de-siècle domestic novel brought a greater range of idiosyncratic families and households under a newly sociological lens and explored them as part of the reality of modern British family life. The persistent attention to alternative domesticities by novelists writing in the fin-de-siècle period suggests that the social problems of the day required new novelistic genres and formal strategies beyond those favoured by writers of sensation fiction and sentimental domestic novels in the earlier part of the century. Through readings of late-career novels by the popular Victorian sensationalist Wilkie Collins and a New Woman novel by the anti-feminist editorialist Eliza Lynn Linton, this thesis argues that the generic hybridity of such fin-de-siècle British novels resulted in a capacious domestic narrative that often looked beyond the fraught unit of the biological family to posit an unprecedented range of new family configurations.

description: Solar-loading thermography is a non-destructive testing technique that has attracted increased scientific attention in recent years. On the one hand, economic influences, such as the advent of increasingly inexpensive thermographic cameras, as well as technical innovations in the field of embedded systems and data processing are partly responsible for the increased attention paid to the subject. Advantages of the method are the simple setup and the large testable surface area compared to laboratory-scale thermography, since in contrast to conventional active thermography the excitation energy is introduced into the test object by solar radiation and other environmental influences. This allows unique testing scenarios, but also creates unique challenges, which are investigated in this work. Analogies to active thermography are introduced for the evaluation of this thermographic technique, which can provide both qualitative and quantitative results. This work describes the theoretical background, methods for measurement and evaluation, derives limitations and points out obstacles for practical implementation. Two methods are introduced and tested on different structures. These methods are used to determine surface heat capacity and thermal effusivity.
description: Die solar angeregte Thermografie für die zerstörungsfreie Prüfung ist ein Verfahren, welches in den vergangenen Jahren vermehrte wissenschaftliche Aufmerksamkeit erregte. Einerseits sind wirtschaftliche Einflüsse, wie das Aufkommen immer günstiger werdenden Thermografiekameras, als auch technische Innovationen im Bereich eingebetteter Systeme und Datenverarbeitung mitverantwortlich für die gestiegene Beachtung des Themenfeldes. Vorteile des Verfahrens sind der einfache Aufbau und die, verglichen zur labormaßstäblichen Thermografie, große prüfbare Oberfläche, da im Gegensatz zur konventionellen aktiven Thermografie die Anregungsenergie von der Sonneneinstrahlung und anderen Wettereinflüssen in den Prüfobjekt eingebracht wird. Dies ermöglicht einzigartige Prüfszenarien, aber auch Herausforderungen, die in dieser Arbeit untersucht werden. Für die Auswertung dieses Thermografieverfahrens werden Analogien zur aktiven Thermografie eingeführt, die sowohl qualitative, als auch quantitative Ergebnisse liefern können. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt den theoretischen Hintergrund, Methoden zur Messung und Auswertung, leitet Grenzen ab und zeigt Hemmnisse bei der praktischen Umsetzung auf. Es werden zwei Verfahren eingeführt und an verschiedenen Strukturen getestet. Diese Verfahren werden zur Bestimmung der Oberflächenwärmekapazität und des Wärmeeindringkoeffizienten eingesetzt und diskutiert.

description: The levels of economic development in Greece as well as in the entire Eurozone level along with other country specific institutional factors have been mainly responsible for the sharp decline in the number of investment projects in the Greek domestic market. Contrary to the conventional financial theory, this paper argues that the perception of entrepreneurial risk by investors is closely related to the leverage undertaken by an investment project. It is in this framework that this study attempts to contribute some innovative conclusions on the issue of entrepreneurial risk perception, focusing on the Greek entrepreneurs as a case study.

description: Diese Masterarbeit widmet sich der zirkulären Produktgestaltung und deren Einfluss auf das Verbraucherverhalten. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, die Hindernisse für kreislaufgerechtes Handeln auf Verbraucherseite durch die Umsetzung gezielter Designmaßnahmen zu reduzieren. Die Arbeit beginnt mit einer umfassenden Darstellung des Systems der Kreislaufwirtschaft, des nachhaltigen Verbraucherverhaltens und gibt Einblick in zirkuläres Design. Um zu untersuchen, wie physische Produkte gestaltet werden sollten, wurde eine entsprechende Methode entwickelt. Dadurch sollen Produkte sowohl kreislauffähige Eigenschaften aufweisen als auch die VerbraucherInnen zur Umsetzung von werterhaltenden Maßnahmen motivieren. Diese Methode ist ein zentraler Bestandteil der Arbeit und wurde auf das Fallbeispiel der tragbaren Lautsprecher angewendet. Für die methodische Analyse wurden bestehende tragbare Bluetooth-Lautsprecher untersucht und verschiedene Personas und Customer Journeys erstellt. Dadurch soll die Funktion des Produkts und die unterschiedlichen Bedürfnisse und Verhaltensweisen der Verbraucher verstanden werden. Diese Erkenntnisse fließen in die Gestaltung eines modularen Lautsprecherkonzepts ein, das durch einfache Demontage und Austauschbarkeit der Komponenten die Lebensdauer der Produkte verlängern soll. Abschließend wird das entwickelte Designkonzept anhand etablierter Bewertungskriterien auf seine ökologische und wirtschaftliche Tragfähigkeit hin überprüft. Die Arbeit zeigt, dass durch die Kombination von zirkulären und verhaltensbezogenen Designstrategien die Voraussetzung für ein kreislaufgerechtes Verhalten geschaffen werden kann.

UCMP 412480 is a mold of a small indeterminate Pectinidae. The cast is about 7 mm high with 10, possibly 11, strong radial ribs, with the suggestion of finer concentric sculpture on some ribs. A possible posterior auricle is present although the impression is very faint and difficult to distinguish, and no sculpture is observable. The size and lack of diagnostic features does not allow for identification beyond the family.

description: Acoustic Resonance Testing (ART) is a well established, volumetric, non-destructive technique for quantitative assessment of solid parts. In the present work, the suitability of ART in the investigation of complex metallic structures, in this case so-called mechanical metamaterials, was explored. Two types of lattice structures and one pantographic structure were included in the study. Lattices with different rod diameter (e.g. 150 µm and 260 µm) and number of missing rods (e.g. 1 or 5) as well as material variation (NiTi, Fe-based alloy and Ti6Al4V) in pantographic structures were considered. Firstly mathematical approximations were used to estimate the vibration frequency range of the structures’ constituent elements like a single rod. Secondly a simulation-based natural frequency study was carried out for each type of structure and compared with the experimentally acquired data from the ART. The combination of simulation and experiments allowed interpretation of the measured resonant peaks and their changes caused by variations in sample geometry, material or presence of defects. A distinction between the different rod thicknesses and materials was observed. The detection of missing rods was also possible, but no explicit correlation between the number of missing rods and the change in resonant frequency could be established. Summing up the present work provided encouraging results about the suitability of the acoustic resonance testing in the evaluation of complex additively manufactured structures. The method has the potential to be scaled and integrated in production lines in the future. However, further in-depth investigations and adaptation are required to be able to implement defect classification. The transfer of the gained knowledge to new structures should be addressed in further research projects.

Constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment in Mediterranean tourist zones (NW of Morocco). Contrary to classic techniques, constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment present a number of features recommending their application in tourist and farming zones of the Mediterranean Morocco. This paper underlinesa classification of natural techniques and shows the preliminary results of an experimentation led in M'Diq (NW of Morocco). According to an experimental system basing on 17 planted or unplanted basins and supplied with urban wastewater we proposed a multistage system to optimise for wastewater treatment under Mediterranean climate. The "lagoon or aquatic ecosystem / Typha angustifolia semiaquatic ecosystem / Arundo donax terrestrial ecosystem" multistage system shows the best water quality improvement.

UCMP 218710, a single right valve in sandstone, is provisionally identified as Lucinoma cf. L. annulatum (Reeve 1850) based on its shape, sculpture and possibly late Miocene age. Lucinoma annulatum occurs from the late Miocene to Holocene of the eastern Pacific but has been reported from the Oligocene in Japan and Russia (Okamoto and Sakai 1995, Kafanov and Ogasawara 2004), however these older ages seem doubtful. No other fossil Lucinoma species are known from the late Miocene of California.However L. annulatum is very similar to and can be difficult to separate from Lu. acutilineata (Conrad, 1849). Lucinoma acutilineata occurs in Oligocene to middle Miocene (Roth 1979, Moore 1988) rocks from Alaska south to southern California (Moore 1988) and L. hannibali Clark, 1925 from the Oligocene to middle Miocene of the Pacific Northwest. Lucinoma acutilineata is distinguished by its lighter hinge, and longer posterior dorsal margin (Stewart in Tegland 1933, p. 116), while L. hannibali is distinguished by its longer and wider lunule, having a longer and more concave dorsal margin, a more subdued sulcus running from near the umbo to posterior margin, and sometimes more irregularly spaced comarginal sculpture. The possibly early Oligocene to (Collins and Rudkin 1981) and they are widespread in marine and marginal marine environments.

description: Insertions of endogenous retroviruses cause a significant fraction of mutations in inbred mice but not all strains are equally susceptible. Notably, most new Intracisternal A particle (IAP) ERV mutagenic insertions have occurred in C3H mice. We show here that strain-specific insertional polymorphic IAPs accumulate faster in C3H/HeJ mice, relative to other sequenced strains, and that IAP transcript levels are higher in C3H/HeJ embryonic stem (ES) cells compared to other ES cells. To investigate the mechanism for high IAP activity in C3H mice, we identified 61 IAP copies in C3H/HeJ ES cells enriched with H3K4me3 (a mark of active promoters) and, among those tested, all are unmethylated in C3H/HeJ ES cells. Notably, 13 of the 61 are specific to C3H/HeJ and are members of the non-autonomous 1Δ1 IAP subfamily that is responsible for nearly all new insertions in C3H. One copy is full length with intact open reading frames and hence potentially capable of providing proteins in trans to other 1Δ1 elements. This potential “master copy” is present in other strains, including 129, but its 5’ long terminal repeat (LTR) is methylated in 129 ES cells. Thus, the unusual IAP activity in C3H may be due to reduced epigenetic repression coupled with the presence of a master copy.

description: With the proliferation of plant genomes being sequenced, assembled, and annotated, duplicate gene loss from whole genome duplication events, also known in plants as frac- tionation, has shown to have a different pattern from the classic gene duplication models described by Ohno in 1970. Models proposed more recently, the Gene Balance and Gene Dosage hypotheses, try to model this pattern. These models, however, disagree with each other on the relative importance of gene function and gene expression. In this thesis we explore the effects of gene function and gene expression on duplicate gene loss and retention. We use gene sequence similarity and gene order conservation to construct our gene fam- ilies. We applied multiple whole genome comparison methods across various plants in rosids, asterids, and Poaceae in looking for a general pattern. We found that there is great consistency across different plant lineages. Genes categorized as metabolic genes with low level of expression have relatively low fractionation resistance, losing duplicate genes readily, while genes categorized as regulation and response genes with high level of expression have relatively high fractionation resistance, retaining more duplicate gene pairs or triples. Though both gene function and gene expression have important effects on retention pattern, we found that gene function has a bigger effect than gene expression. Our results suggest that both the Gene Balance and Gene Dosage models account to some extent for fractionation resistance.

Remarks — Seven specimens from Project 23 are assigned to S. bachmani based on simple p3 crenulation at the occlusal surface and base of the tooth, p3 lengths <3.1 mm, and a mean p3 l/w>1.25 (Table 2, Figs. 4, 5D). Since adult individuals of this species usually exhibit simple crenulation (Table 1; Fig. 4), it is difficult to identify juveniles from surface-base changes in crenulation complexity. However, specimens can be identified as juvenile if the width at the occlusal surface is less than the width at the tooth base (White 1991). Excluding potential juvenile p3s of S. bachmani from Project 23, the sample is ~11% smaller than recent S. bachmani (mean= 2.19mm, 1.71mm, and 1.28 for p3 length, width, and l/w respectively; Fig. 4; Appendix Table 2). Size changes between extant (n=30) and fossil (n=7) S. bachmani are statistically significant (t=2.8861, df=8.2077, p=0.0198 for p3 length; t=4.6124, df=12.923, p<0.001 for p3 width).

Medium-scale Hydrogen Pipeline Network Design: An optimization-based planning method considering the existing natural gas network and allowing for pipeline conversion

description: In 2021 the German gas TSOs published the Wasserstoffnetz 2030, a map representing a hydrogen network for the year 2030 along with key figures. For the purpose of designing a hydrogen pipeline network, an optimization-based method has been developed and implemented. The method considers the existing natural gas network as an underlying topology above which the hydrogen network is to be designed. Furthermore, the approach allows for the conversion of natural gas pipelines to hydrogen operation. The design method determines initially the set of convertible pipelines within the existing natural gas network based on its connectivity, independently from a potential natural gas supply-demand scenario. This conservative approach results in a kernel of convertible pipelines and hence lower shares of converted pipelines (approx. 23% lengthwise) in the candidate hydrogen networks compared to the Wasserstoffnetz 2030 (72.6%). Subsequently, the optimization model determines an optimal network providing a hydrogen supplydemand scenario inline with that of the Wasserstoffnetz 2030. The gas pipeline transportation hydraulic, topological and economic aspects constitute the optimization model building blocks. The model is formulated as a disaggregated problem consisting in a: a local search sub-module based on topological considerations responsible for generating a neighborhood of candidate networks (tree topologies) to be evaluated, a NLP sub-module responsible for sizing and evaluating the minimal cost of each candidate network. The second sub-module is nested in the former, resulting in a path dependent local search. The chosen network instance, a modified version of GasLib-135 (135 node, 170 edge) and the hydrogen supply-demand scenario associated to it enable a coherence in terms of scale with the Wasserstoffnetz 2030. The method creates a neighborhood of 190 candidate networks and yields a solution network having a cost of 6232.85 Me, corresponding to a 5.87% (388.69 Me) decrease of cost relatively to the initial candidate network, i.e. the minimum (lengthwise) tree spanning the initial gas network. The yielded minimal cost is coherent with the 6000 Me announced for the Wasserstoffnetz 2030. The solution network presents pipeline diameters ranging from 0.08 to 1.16 m and its results are validated using the simulation software pandapipes. Additionally, the cost of the candidate networks appears to be bounded below which suggest some robustness to the quality of the solution. A further results analysis supports that the cost decrease is the effect of a better suitability of the candidate networks topology to the flow situation (induced by the supply-demand scenario) rather than the effect of an increased reliance of the networks on the converted pipelines.

Larman's contract
visual notation

description: System operation contracts were introduced by C. Larman as an application of the notion of Design by Contract (DbC) to the description of high-level system operations derived from requirements. A system operation contract specifies an operation in terms of changes induced in the domain. In the Responsibility Driven Development (RDD) process proposed by Larman, operation contracts play an important role in identifying and assigning systems' responsibilities, and help construct a sound design in later phases. Larman's notation for operation contracts is textual. In this thesis, we propose an alternative visual notation for operation contracts. As part of the process for the definition of this visual notation, we extended and clarified some informal aspects of Larman's notation in order to better accurately capture important aspects of system operations. Our extension allows the specification of data constraints, alternatives, and the temporal dimension of created domain objects, in addition to the description of changes in the state and associations of domain objects. The syntax of the visual notation for operation contracts aims to be cognitively effective and to reuse available UML notation. New visual elements were introduced only in the absence of corresponding elements in the UML. Elements reused from the UML are slightly modified to enhance their cognitive effectiveness. The introduced elements, on the other hand, are designed with the goal of not conflicting with the general theme of the UML. We used The Physics of Notations as a general guide and evaluation criteria. The Physics of Notations is a leading evaluation and design theory for visual models in software engineering. We propose a prototype tool (ViOpContract) that implements the proposed visual notation for operation contracts. ViOpContract is an Eclipse plug-in tool that helps to draw and manage visual operation contracts. The tool provides the capability to generate contracts in textual form from visual contracts.

description: Safety assessment is a critical component in the design of many modern systems. Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a safety analysis technique that originated within the chemical industry and is widely accepted and used in many areas today. One of its drawbacks is that its application often becomes tedious and time-consuming for complex systems. This poses an obstacle in practice, where competitiveness and a short time-to-market are essential. Component Fault Trees (CFTs) solve several related issues by breaking down the models into smaller, more manageable parts and better aligning the safety analysis model with the component structure of the system architecture. A remaining shortcoming is that their composition into a cohesive fault tree at system level is a manual task to date. This work introduces the automation of this step by composing CFTs based on machine-readable type annotations at their interfaces. The resulting process relieves the burden on safety engineers by assisting them in the creation and maintenance of safety analysis models and facilitating the repetition of analyses after revisions to the system design.

description: This thesis presents a study of the wind load forces and their influence on the response of structures. The study is based on the capacity of the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition method (POD) to identify and extract organized patterns that are hidden or embedded inside a complex field. Technically this complex field is defined as a multi-variate random process, which in wind engineering is represented by unsteady pressure signals recorded on multiple points of the surface of a structure. The POD method thus transforms the multi-variate random pressure field into a sequence of load shapes that are uncorrelated with each other. The effect of each uncorrelated load shape on the structural response is relatively easy to evaluate and the individual contributions can be added linearly afterwards. Additionally, since each uncorrelated load shape is associated with a percentage of the total energy involved in the loading process, it is possible to neglect those load shapes with low energy content. Furthermore, the load shapes obtained with the POD often reveal physical flow structures, like vortex shedding, oscillations of shear layers, etc. This later property can be used in conjunction with classical results in fluid mechanics to theorize about the physical nature of different flow mechanics and their interactions. The POD method is well suited to be used in conjunction with the classical modal analysis, not only to calculate the structural response for a given pressure field but to observe the details of the wind-structure interaction. A detailed and complete application is presented here but the methodology is very general since it can be applied to any recorded pressure field and for any type of structure.

description: Beet (Beta vulgaris L.) has high nutritional value, containing bioactive compounds such as betalains and flavonoids. Scientific evidence points to the use of these natural compounds in the treatment of several types of cancer, such as prostate cancer, oneof the main causes of morbidity and mortality in men. Here, we compared beet roots and leaves extracts, and their main compounds, apigenin, and betanin, respectively, in DU-145 and PC-3 prostate cancer cell lines. Both cells presented the proliferation decreased for beetroot and beet leaves extracts. The apigenin treatment also reduced the proliferation of both cell lines. Regarding cell migration, beet leaves extract was able to decrease the scratch area in both cell lines, whereas apigeninaffected only PC-3 cells' migration. In colony formation assay, both extracts were effective in reducing the number of colonies formed. Besides, the beet leaves extracts and apigenin presented strong inhibition of growth-related signaling pathways in both cell lines, and the beetroot extract and betanin presented effects only in DU-145 cells. Furthermore, the extracts and isolated compounds were able to reduce the levels of apoptotic and cell cycle proteins. This study reveals that beet extracts have important anti-cancer effects against prostate cancer cells.

Die Smart City Bonn in den Augen ihrer Bevölkerung. Eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der Kommunikation einer Smart-City-Strategie

description: The aim of this master thesis was to probe the view of Bonn’s citizens on the smart city project of the German city. A literature review helped defining the smart city term and identifying the smart city concept that is mostly used in Germany. This can be summarized as an urban planning concept using information and communication technology to build citizen centric, sustainable cities. According to this, a smart city should include transparent communication and participation of its citizens. The websites and different publications of Bonn were researched to understand its smart city strategy and vision. This revealed inconsistencies. To resolve these inconsistencies, three representatives of the city were inter-viewed. Based on the knowledge gained up to this point, two groups of Bonn’s inhabitants discussed the Smart City Bonn and presented their perception of it. With the help of this methodology, the following results were obtained. Commu-nication and participation of the city are in many cases in line with the current recommendations for a smart city. Bonn has apparently recognized the relevance of these aspects in theory but should also implement them more consistently in practice. Currently the city council publishes contradictory information and does not plan to incorporate the sight of Bonn’s citizens to develop the smart city strat-egy in the first place, as it is recommended in common literature.

description: Radio-frequency (RF) switches are widely used in electrical systems, telecommunications, and wireless applications. In RF systems, it is often desirable to change the signal path effectively, by us-ing couplers, duplexers, and RF switches for signal division and combining. Typically, in modern RF systems, the RF switch is mostly capitalized in order to reduce the RF footprint but with efficient switch characteristics. A simple method to reduce transceiver space requirement is to integrate RF switches with the frontend module on a single chip. Recent advances in Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology allows RF designers to design faster, smaller, and efficient components using this technology. With high data rates in demand for wireless communication systems, wideband characteristics are needed in modern systems [1]. Therefore, it is desirable to design wideband circuits; such as, mixers, amplifiers, and switches. In this work, a comprehensive study of NRC GaN150 HEMT is conducted to design broadband RF switches. Single pole and double pole switch topologies operating at 1-12 GHz are designed to evaluate GaN 0.15μm RF switches. The main objectives were to design compact sized switches, while having high power handling, low insertion loss, high isolation and high return loss. Additionally, a transmit-receive switch is designed for integration into a frontend module and further fabricated to operate at 10 GHz. There are many applications of RF switches in an RF transceiver, one of which is an impedance tuner. Impedance tuner are attractive for many applications where mobile devices are used for wireless communications. As mobile technology continues to evolve, they are designed to be com-pact, leaving minimal space for the antenna. Consequently, the radiating element is often electrically small and sensitive to near-field coupling requiring tuning. Matching networks aim to tune matching conditions; for example, loading effects due to human hand [2]. For such situations, specialized matching networks can be designed to account for specific loading environmental effects. However, for mobile systems, the environment is unknown; thereby, yielding unpredictable antenna loading, especially for electrically small antennas that have rapidly changing real and imaginary impedance. As a result, it is necessary to design a reconfigurable impedance-matching network to account for possible load impedances. In this work, a 16-bit reconfigurable impedance tuner design comprising of passive microwave components and NRC GaN 0.15μm FET operating at X-band is presented to evaluate its performance for integration with the frontend module on a single chip to reduce cost and increase efficiency of the system.
