description: The Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say, is a arguably the most destructive insect pest of potato and famous for its ability to evolve resistance to insecticides. Quantifying insect preference towards potato varieties is an important, but labor-intensive objective that is difficult to perform uniformly across multiple locations. A small-scale field study was conducted at the Hermiston Agricultural Research and Extension Center in Hermiston, Umatilla Co., Oregon US, to assess our ability to evaluate L. decemlineata preference of ten potato clones with and without Imidacloprid treatment, using human index scoring and remote sensing techniques. Ten potato cultivars, including six russet clones that occupy significant acreage in the Pacific Northwest (Alturas, Castle Russet, Clearwater Russet, Payette Russet, Russet Norkotah, Russet Burbank), three experimental clones (Dakota Diamond, Echo Russet, F14085), and a reported susceptible clone (Shepody) were planted in 5-hill, replicated plots. Insect activity was estimated by tabulating the number of egg masses, larvae, adult insects, and index estimation of defoliation, and indirectly using a multispectral sensor fixed to a small, unmanned aerial system (sUAS) aka drone, at weekly intervals. Our results suggest that the Colorado potato beetle exhibits consistent preferences towards different potato cultivars and that remote sensing techniques can be used to estimate plant defoliation throughout the field season.

description: This presentation was given during the 2022 ASCE EWRI Conference in Atlanta GA. Abstract: Water providers in California are working to develop integrated and diverse portfolios of water supply infrastructure that bridge scales from local to statewide. Investments such as canals and groundwater recharge facilities can increase the capture of water during peak flow events and bolster reliability during drought, potentially improving the robustness of water supplies to uncertainties such as climate change and environmental regulation. However, expensive regional infrastructure often requires joint investment involving a coalition of interdependent water providers (e.g., water utilities, irrigation districts) to achieve economies of scale. Traditional planning approaches have focused on total expected benefits and costs, but new frameworks are needed that account for complex interactions between the partners and are able to disaggregate benefits, costs, and risks to ensure that joint investments meet the individual objectives of each partner. The present work addresses this need in the context of the Central Valley of California, using the California Food-Energy-Water System (CALFEWS) model, which simulates daily water storage and conveyance in the state’s major reservoirs, rivers, and canals, along with water contract allocations, deliveries, and banking at the level of individual irrigation districts and water utilities. The Borg Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) is used to search for water supply investment partnerships that represent the optimal tradeoffs between objectives such as total water yield for the partnership, water cost for the worst-off partner, and regional impacts outside the partnership. Candidate solutions are then subjected to a broader range of potential states of the world under deep uncertainties such as climate change and environmental regulation in order to identify investment partnerships that are effective at the project level, fair to all partners, and robust to future uncertainties.

description: Abstract

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

description: In the absence of reliable and timely weather information, unprecedented weather shocks can influence farmers’ decision-making. We take the case of Uganda to investigate the relationship between weather shocks and temporary migration among smallholders. Using longitudinal data from a nationally representative survey – Living Standard Measurement Study-Integrated Survey in Agriculture (LSMS-ISA) –, we examine if household-level weather shocks affect temporary migration. Using panel data estimators, we show that weather shocks reduce temporary migration among poor households, and the relationship is more pronounced for smallholders. We also find that the relationship differs by the type of migration. Weather shocks reduce temporary labor migration and migration for educational purposes, but migration for other reasons is not affected. These results are confirmed by focused group interviews with 24 rural farmers from all four regions of Uganda. We identify reduced agricultural productivity and low farm revenue as potential channels for the negative relationship between weather shocks and migration.

description: The chimney effect taking place in biomass cooking stoves results from a conversion process between thermal and mechanical energy. The efficiency of this conversion is assessed with the stove loss coefficient. The derivation of this quantity in cooking stove modelling is still uncertain. Following fluid mechanics, this loss coefficient refers to an overall pressure drop through stove geometry by performing an energy balance according to the first law of thermodynamics. From this approach, heat-transfer processes are quite ignored yet they are important sources of irreversibilities. The present work takes a fresh look at stove loss coefficient assessment relying on the second law of thermodynamics. The purpose in this paper is to identify the influence of operating firepower level on flow dynamics in biomass natural convection-driven cooking stoves. To achieve that, a simplified analytical model of the entropy-generation rate in the flow field is developed. To validate the model, experiments are conducted first on a woodburning stove without cooking pot to better isolate physical processes governing the intrinsic behaviour of the stove. Then, for the practical case of a stove operating with a cooking pot in place, data from published literature have served for validation. In particular, mass-flow rate and flue gas temperature at different firepower levels have been monitored. It turns out that losses due to viscous dissipations are negligible compared to the global process dissipation. Exergy analysis reveals that the loss coefficient should rather be regarded from now as the availability to generate flow work primarily associated with the heat-transfer Carnot factor. In addition, the energy flux applied as flow work has to be considered as pure exergy that is lost through consecutive energy-transfer components comprising the convective heat transfer to the cooking pot. Finally, this paper reports a satisfactory agreement that emerged between the exergy Carnot factor and the experimental loss coefficient at different fuel-burning rates.

description: Thermal energy storage using phase change materials (PCMs) is a promising technology for improving the thermal performance of buildings and reducing their energy consumption. However, the effectiveness of passive PCMs in buildings depends on their optimal design regarding the building typology and typical climate conditions. Within this context, the present contribution introduces a novel multiobjective computational method to optimize the thermophysical properties of cementitious building panels enhanced with a microencapsulated PCM (MPCM). To achieve this, a parametric model for PCM-based cementitious composites is developed in EnergyPlus, considering as design variables the melting temperature of PCMs and the thickness and thermal conductivity of the panel. A multiobjective genetic algorithm is dynamically coupled with the building energy model to find the best trade-off between annual heating and cooling loads. The optimization results obtained for a case study building in Sofia (Bulgaria-EU) reveal that the annual heating and cooling loads have contradictory performances regarding the thermophysical properties studied. A thick MPCM-enhanced panel with a melting temperature of 22 °C is needed to reduce the heating loads, while a thin panel with a melting temperature of 27 °C is required to mitigate the cooling loads. Using these designs, the annual heating and cooling loads decrease by 23% and 3%, respectively. Moreover, up to 12.4% cooling load reduction is reached if the thermal conductivity of the panels is increased. Therefore, it is also concluded that the thermal conductivity of the cement-based panels can significantly influence the effectiveness of MPCMs in buildings.

description: The Agricultural Resource Management Study (ARMS) identifies production practices farm operators use to produce certain commodities, determines the costs to produce those commodities, and describes the economic health of a cross-section of ALL farm and ranch operations. The ARMS design integrated and replaced the Cropping Practices Survey (CPS) and the Farm Costs and Returns Survey (FCRS). The sampling design consists of three phases; a screening phase conducted in early summer, the production practice phase conducted in late summer to early fall and the economic costs and returns phase conducted in late winter and spring. The objective of the screening phase (PI) is to improve the quality of estimates by increasing the number of usable reports (versus sampling from list frame control data only) without increasing the number of field contacts. The screening phase identifies in-business sample units and operations having targeted commodities. State Statistical Offices during PI had the option of contacting operations via a telephone interview or using other sources of information to gather commodity specific information about the sampled operation. The presence or absence of a commodity determined whether the operation was eligible to be selected for a Phase 2 (P2) or Phase 3 (P3) interview. This report examines the effectiveness of PI screening and the efficiency of other screening sources relative to the number of usable reports in P2 and P3.

description: The common design of thermal power plants is fundamentally oriented towards achieving a high-process performance, with market demands necessitating enhanced operational stability as a result of ongoing global support for renewable energy sources. Indeed, dynamic simulation represents one useful and cost-effective choice for optimizing the flexibility of parabolic trough power plants (PTPP) in a range of transient operating conditions, such as weather changes, resulting again in variations of the output load as well as varying start-up times. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of steady-state and dynamic modelling for PTPP design, development, and optimization. This gives us a greater opportunity for a broad understanding of the PTPPs subjected to a variety of irradiance solar constraints. The most important features of the steady-state and their uses are reviewed, and the most important programs used in steady-state modelling are also highlighted. In addition, the start-up process of the plant, thermal storage system capacities and response dynamics (charging and discharging modes), and yearly electricity yield can be analyzed using dynamic modelling. Depending on the dynamic simulation, specific uses can be realized, including control loop optimization, load estimation for critical in-service equipment, and emergency safety assessment of power plants in the event of an outage. Based on this review, a detailed overview of the dynamic simulation of PTPP, and its development and application in various simulation programs, is presented. Here, a survey of computational dynamic modelling software commonly applied for commercial and academic applications is performed, accompanied by various sample models of simulation programs such as APROS, DYNAMICS, DYMOLA, and ASPEN PLUS. The simulation programs generally depend on the conservation equations of mass, momentum, species, and energy. However, for the equation of equilibrium, specific mathematical expressions rely on the basic flow model. The essential flow models involved, together with the basic assumptions, are presented, and are supplemented through a general survey covering popular simulation programs. Various previous research on the dynamic simulation of the PTPP are reviewed and analyzed in this paper. Here, several studies in the literature regarding the dynamic simulation of the PTPP are addressed and analyzed. Specific consideration is given to the studies including model verification, in order to explore the effect of modelling assumptions regarding the simulation outputs.
title: The association between vitamin D deficiency and the risk of herpes zoster and COVID-19

description: BACKGROUND: Acute viral infections or reactivations, such as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and herpes zoster (HZ), can cause high morbidity and mortality among older adults. Although vitamin D has immunomodulatory effects, the association between vitamin D status and COVID-19 and HZ is unclear. In this thesis, I investigated the association between vitamin D deficiency and HZ and COVID-19. METHODS: This thesis comprises four parts: one systematic review and three analytic studies using UK Biobank. First, I systematically reviewed studies about vitamin D and human herpesviruses infection or reactivation. Second, I conducted a cross-sectional study which described the distribution of vitamin D status and identified demographic risk factors for vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in UK Biobank. In the third part, I undertook a cohort study to explore the association between vitamin D status, supplementation, and prescriptions and the risk of incident HZ. Finally, I assessed the association between vitamin D status and COVID-19 diagnosis, hospitalisation, and mortality. RESULTS: My systematic review and meta-analysis (Chapter 3) included ten studies, and the results demonstrated that vitamin D deficiency was not associated with cytomegalovirus (CMV) diseases in transplant patients, but vitamin D supplementation was associated with a lower risk of HZ in individuals receiving haemodialysis. All included studies were hospital-based and conducted among immunosuppressed people. In my cross-sectional study (Chapter 5) of 449,943 participants aged 40 to 69 years with vitamin D records, I found that the winter and spring seasons, northern regions, male sex, abnormal body mass index (BMI), non-white ethnic backgrounds, smoking, and socioeconomic deprivation were associated with vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency. My cohort study of vitamin D and HZ (Chapter 6) included 177,572 participants with linked clinical records. I found no association between vitamin D deficiency and incident HZ (deficient: adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 0.99, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.90–1.10). Vitamin D supplementation or prescriptions were not associated with incident HZ. Finally, in the cohort study of vitamin D and COVID-19 (Chapter 7), including 307,512 people with linked COVID-19 clinical records, I found an inconsistent association between vitamin D deficiency and COVID-19 diagnosis during different follow-up periods (during British summertime (BST) months: HR=0.86, 95% CI=0.77–0.95; during non-BST months: HR=1.14, 95%CI=1.01– 1.30). I found no evidence that vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency was associated with either hospitalisation or mortality due to COVID-19 in any time stratum. CONCLUSION: In summary, I found no association between vitamin D status, supplementation, or prescriptions and the risk of HZ or COVID-19. According to currently available evidence, extra vitamin D supplementation should not be recommended to prevent HZ or COVID- 19.

description: Improving the control of flexible assets in distribution grids, e.g., battery storages, electric vehicle charging points, and heat pumps, can balance power peaks caused by high renewable power generation or load to prevent overloading the grid infrastructure. Renewable energy communities, introduced as part of the recast of the Renewable Energy Directive, provide a regulatory framework for this. As a multi-site energy management method, they can tap flexibility potential. The present work quantifies stimulus for renewable energy communities to incentivize the grid-friendly operation of flexible assets, depending on the shares of participants in rural, suburban, and urban grid topologies. Results indicate that an operation of the community, driven by maximizing the economic benefits of its members, does not clearly reduce the annual peak load at the low-voltage substation, while the operation strategy of a grid-friendly renewable energy community achieves a peak power reduction of 23–55%. When there is not full participation, forecasts of the residual load of non-participants provided by the distribution system operator can be considered in the optimization of the renewable energy community. For all simulation cases, the economic benefit between the two operation strategies differs by less than one percent, resulting in a very low additional incentive required for grid-friendliness in terms of reduced peak power. Thus, grid-friendly renewable energy communities might be a cost-effective way to defer future grid reinforcements.

description: Saccharides are still commonly isolated from biological feedstock by crystallization from aqueous solutions. Precise thermodynamic data on solubility are essential to optimize the downstream crystallization process. Solubility modeling, in turn, requires knowledge of melting properties. In the first part of this work, following our previous work on amino acids and peptides, D-α-glucose, D-β-fructose, D-sucrose, D-α-galactose, and D-α-xylose were investigated with Fast Scanning Calorimetry (FSC) in a wide scanning rate range (2000 K·s−1 to 10000 K·s−1). Using the experimental melting properties of saccharides from FSC allowed successfully modeling aqueous solubility for D-sucrose and D-α-galactose with the equation of state PC-SAFT. This provides cross-validation of the measurement methods to determine accurate experimental melting properties with FSC. Unexpectedly, the experimental FSC melting temperatures, extrapolated to zero scanning rates for thermal lag correction, were higher than results determined with DSC and available literature data. To clarify this inconsistency, FSC measurements towards low scanning rates from 10000 K·s−1 to 1 K·s−1 (D-α-glucose, D-β-fructose, D-sucrose) overlapping with the scanning rates of DSC and literature data were combined. At scanning rates below 1000 K·s−1, the melting properties followed a consistent non-linear trend, observed in both the FSC and the literature data. In order to understand the non-linear decrease of apparent melting temperatures with decreasing heating rate, the endothermic peaks were investigated in terms of isoconversional kinetics. The activation energies in the non-linear dependency region are in the range of 300

Signed networks

description: Despite considerable success, the balance theoretic approach to studying signed relations has encountered some serious problems, both substantive and methodological. The more consequential of them are outlined along with reasons for why solving them is critical. In essence, an agenda of research problems is laid out with many juicy problems to solve. These reflections, while setting a context in prior work, are far more concerned about looking to the future and identifying problems whose solutions hold the potential for transforming the field.

Towards a Formal Approach for Data Minimization in Programs (Short Paper)

description: As more and more processes are digitized, the protection of personal data becomes increasingly important for individuals, agencies, companies, and society in general. One principle of data protection is data minimization, which limits the processing and storage of personal data to the minimum necessary for the defined purpose. To adhere to this principle, an analysis of what data are needed by a piece of software is required. In this paper, we present an idea for a program analysis which connects data minimization with secure information flow to assess which personal data are required by a program: A program is decomposed into two programs. The first projects the original input, keeping only the minimal amount of required data. The second computes the original output from the projected input. Thus, we achieve a program variant which is compliant with data minimization. We define the approach, show how it can be used for different scenarios, and give examples for how to compute such a decomposition.

Parental income and the achievement of the higher education in Sweden and Finland

description: This study examines how parental income influences the likelihood that a child attains higher education in Sweden and Finland. Recognizing that both parental income and children's educational outcomes may be shaped by unobserved factors, we exploit variation in local labour market conditions—particularly during the economic recessions of the early 1990s—to identify the causal effects of childhood economic resources on later educational attainment. Using high-quality register data covering the years 1987 to 2020, we apply both instrumental variables and sibling fixed-effects approaches to address endogeneity concerns and account for family-level unobserved heterogeneity. Our findings suggest that parental economic resources play a significant role in shaping children's educational outcomes. However, the strength of the association varies depending on the measure of parental resources considered. Causal estimates derived from instrumental variables tend to be larger than naive ordinary least squares estimates, indicating that simple correlations may underestimate the true effects. Moreover, parental labour income appears to be more consistently associated with children's educational attainment than disposable household income, suggesting the importance of parental labour market attachment beyond financial resources alone. Some evidence also points to maternal income exerting a stronger influence than paternal income, although results differ by country and specification. Overall, our results highlight the critical role of dynamic changes in family economic conditions during childhood in shaping intergenerational educational mobility.
