description: Globally, streamflow is altered as a result of anthropogenic impacts and climate change, thus creating uncertainties in future planning for streamflow water users including hydropower plants and irrigation. These uncertainties are addressed using process-based hydrologic models. However, there are data-limited regions such as the Aral Sea Basin (ASB), for which calibration and validation of process-based models are challenging. In such cases, Machine Learning (ML) offers an alternative methodology to predict short-term future streamflow (days to months ahead) to optimize water management. Also, ML can be used to identify the main drivers of streamflow in different parts of the ASB, which will allow to prioritize and regionalize the investments into data availability. This will eventually lead to better performance of process-based models. The overarching objective of the project is to determine the dominant drivers of streamflow in different parts of the ASB. The first specific objective is to evaluate the predictive power of models when exposed to "future" data. Models were trained using three ML algorithms: Multi-layer Perceptron, Random Forest, and Gradient Boosted Decision Trees. The prediction accuracy of models on the testing set was evaluated using the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency, percent bias, and relative root mean squared error. The best model for each streamflow gauging station was identified using a composite of these three metrics. Since empirical models require a large number of training observations, which is challenging in data-limited regions, we propose a novel method of increasing the number of training observations by grouping training data based on specific grouping rules. Therefore, the second objective is to validate the proposed method. This objective will assist in reaching the final objective, which is the determination of main streamflow drivers in different parts of the ASB. In total, 80 models out of 110 best models had acceptable prediction accuracy. The grouping frameworks improved the accuracy of models for 60% of gauging stations. The temperature was the main driver of streamflow at higher elevations vs. irrigation and evapotranspiration at lower elevations. The capacity of reservoirs was among the most important variables controlling the streamflow for gauging stations, watersheds of which include at least one reservoir.

Effects of social information on the accuracy of individual assessment of environmental state
Creators: name: Aguiñaga, Jonathan
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2020
Subjects: Ecology--Decision making--Mathematical models

description: Behavioral decision-making involves two steps: 1) the formation of an assessment about an environment or its resources, and 2) a behavioral rule that specifies how to act based on that assessment. During these processes, individuals may form their assessments by using information they acquire themselves through direct sampling of the environment or by monitoring the behavior of others (social information). However, most work on decision-making focuses on observable behaviors that are the outcome of both the assessment and decision rule. This approach does not allow for researchers to explore how individuals process information to assess the state of environmental resources, which can be difficult to do empirically. Therefore, we developed a mathematical model to understand how social information influences an individual's assessment of their environment. Overall, incorporating social information into private assessments of environmental states increased the accuracy under a variety of parameters. However, social information improved the accuracy of assessments most in highly variable environments compared to less variable ones. We also find that differences in how social information is processed influenced the magnitude by which individuals improve in accuracy.

description: We used genotype data from the caprine 50k Illumina BeadChip for the assessment of genetic diversity within and between 10 local Swiss goat breeds. Three different cluster methods allowed the goat samples to be assigned to the respective breed groups, whilst the samples of Nera Verzasca and Tessin Grey goats could not be differentiated from each other. The results of the different genetic diversity measures show that Appenzell, Toggenburg, Valais and Booted goats should be prioritized in future conservation activities. Furthermore, we examined runs of homozygosity (ROH) and compared genomic inbreeding coefficients based on ROH (FROH) with pedigree‐based inbreeding coefficients (FPED). The linear relationship between FROH and FPED was confirmed for goats by including samples from the three main breeds (Saanen, Chamois and Toggenburg goats). FROH appears to be a suitable measure for describing levels of inbreeding in goat breeds with missing pedigree information. Finally, we derived selection signatures between the breeds. We report a total of 384 putative selection signals. The 25 most significant windows contained genes known for traits such as: coat color variation (MITF, KIT, ASIP), growth (IGF2, IGF2R, HRAS, FGFR3) and milk composition (PITX2). Several other putative genes involved in the formation of populations, which might have been selected for adaptation to the alpine environment, are highlighted. The results provide a contemporary background for the management of genetic diversity in local Swiss goat breeds.

description: Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), and human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV) are major public health concerns, individually and in combination. The status of the host immune system, previous Mtb infection and HIV-mediated T cell exhaustion, can have significant impacts on immune dynamics during reinfection. Individuals with asymptomatic latent TB infection (LTBI) may be protected against Mtb reinfection, as demonstrated by animal and in vitro studies. However, the underlying dynamics and protective mechanisms of LTBI are poorly understood. In HIV, long-term infection in children and associated T cell exhaustion leads to weakened immune responses to HIV reinfection. The complexity of these infections, particularly in the context of the heightened vulnerability of HIV+ individuals to TB, underscores the need for novel investigative approaches to study host-pathogen and pathogen-pathogen interactions. To this, we have developed an agent-based model (ABM) as a mechanistic computational tool to simulate the immune response to Mtb and HIV, separately and during coinfection. Our ABM integrates clinical and experimental data; simulates immune cell dynamics between macrophages, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells; and produces emergent granuloma-like structures – a critical response to Mtb. This in silico approach allows us to efficiently explore host-pathogen interactions and their clinical implications. By unraveling the complex interplay of immune cell activation, T cell exhaustion, and pathogen dynamics, our model offers insights that could guide the development of targeted therapies. By quantifying the multifaceted nature of these diseases and their interactions, we highlight the potential of computational approaches in understanding and treating complex diseases, individually and in combination.

description: Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) is a microfluidic technique for size based label-free separation of particles or cells in continuous flow with a great potential for biological and clinical applications. Various applications include circulating tumor cell (CTC) separation, point-of-care diagnosis demand high-throughput operation of DLD devices for rapid processing of biosample. This growing demand is making it necessary to investigate DLD behavior at moderate to high Reynolds number (Re) regimes. Recently, it has been shown that symmetric airfoil shaped pillars with neutral angle-of-attack (AoA) can be used for high-throughput design of DLD devices due to their mitigation of vortex effects and preservation of flow symmetry under high Re conditions. While high-Re operation with symmetric airfoil shaped pillars has been established, the effect of AoAs on the DLD performance has not been investigated. In this thesis, the characterization of the airfoil DLD device was performed in term of AoAs. The transport behavior of microparticles having sizes ranging from 10 [mu]m to 25 [mu]m has been observed and analyzed with various AoAs in realistic high-Re regime. Furthermore, we have modeled the flow fields and anisotropy in a representative airfoil pillar array, for both positive and negative AoA configurations. Unlike the conventional DLD device, lateral displacement has been suppressed with +5º and +15º AoA configurations regardless of particle sizes. On the other hand, stronger lateral displacement has been seen with -5º and -15º AoAs. Also, the suppression of lateral displacement in positive AoA devices and higher tendency of lateral displacement in negative AoA devices increases with the magnitude of the AoAs. This can be attributed to growing flow anisotropy as Re climbs, and significant expansion or compression of streamlines between airfoils with AoA. The findings in this study can be utilized for the design and optimization of airfoil DLD microfluidic devices with various AoAs.

description: Many real-life problems require optimizing functions with expensive evaluations. Bayesian Optimization (BO) and Optimistic Optimization (OO) are two broad families of algorithms that try to find the global optima of a function with the goal of minimizing the number of function evaluations. A large body of existing work deals with the single-fidelity setting, where function evaluations are very expensive but accurate. However, in many applications (e.g., hyper-parameter tuning of machine learning methods), we have access to multiple-fidelity functions that vary in their cost and accuracy of evaluation. In this dissertation, we perform a rigorous empirical study of existing multi-fidelity optimization algorithms from both BO and OO families towards the goal of identifying their strengths and weaknesses. We also study hybrid algorithms by combining the best attributes of both BO and OO algorithms to discover the global optima of a blackbox function with minimal cost. Our experiments on multiple benchmark functions and hyper-parameter tuning problems reveal several interesting insights regarding the behavior of different multi-fidelity algorithms, and show that hybrid algorithms generally perform better than BO and OO methods. Hybrid algorithms employ BO principles to to guide the search towards most promising regions to uncover the optima and employs OO principles to safely prune large parts of the search spaces, thereby uncovering better solutions using less resources for function evaluations than BO and OO based approaches. Our experiments reveal that that the best performing algorithms employ more lower-fidelity function evaluations to prune large parts of the search space.

description: perature and leads to moisture content (MC) variations across the cross section. The MC affects the physical and mechanical properties as well as the dimensions due to shrinkage and swelling below the fibre satura-tion point (FSP). Due to constrained volumetric strains, e.g. due to swelling and shrinkage, changes in moisture content impose moisture induced stresses (MIS) which, if exceeding the tensile strength perpen-dicular to the grain of the material, can cause fractures such as cracks or delaminations. Thus, the correct estimation of the MC is important for the design, quality assurance, and durability of timber bridges. There was the question especially for large glulam members as produced by block-gluing about the impact of ambient climate variations on the moisture induced stresses and possible failure. Block glulam beams form wide cross-sections by gluing single glulam beams to each other. They are used as, e.g., main struc-tural elements for timber bridges, see Figure 1. Therefore, cross sections of practical dimensions were clas-sified regarding the assumed ambient climate in service by numerical simulations that showed the moisture content and gradient over the cross section. Finally, the moisture induced mechanical response was simu-lated using a coupled moisture diffusion and mechanical model. The results were summarized to a practical advice for the dimensioning.

Information-based multi-robot navigation, exploration, and coverage using adaptive occupancy grids
Creators: name: Scott, Mitchell Dale
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2018
Subjects: Robots--Control systems

description: This thesis examines the control of an information-based multi-robot system (MRS). We demonstrate a simulated MRS exploration-coverage mission as the system converges to regions of high entropy (uncertainty), as it maximizes information content. Furthermore, the MRS mission utilizes an information-based adaptive occupancy grid which adaptively discretizes the grid so that map memory size is substantially reduced without sacrificing substantial map information content. We present a theoretical bounds on the information loss in the adaptive grid, while also demonstrating its ability to adaptively map an environment so that only high-entropy regions are finely discretized. Results indicate that the system can effectively explore an environment, converge to regions of high entropy, and further probe these regions to reduce the associated entropy (i.e. obtain more information), while utilizing a map that uses a fraction of the memory requirements but containing a comparable level of information. The novel contributions of this work include the development of an information-based adaptive grid and the leveraging of MRS control laws with an entropy-based world to control an MRS towards regions of interest.

description: Tunnels are an increasingly significant part of our built infrastructure. Simultaneously, they are subject to a diversity of inherent uncertainties associated with the geotechnical, hydro-geological, and physical environment surrounding them. The associated risks can materialize on many occasions, leading to disasters with substantially high reinstatement costs, incurred delays, and damage to adjacent third-party assets and the environment. Such disasters can occur due to extreme natural events and unforeseen and unforeseeable ground conditions or accidents. but also, human-driven issues, such as substandard design, poor project management, aggressive project timelines leading to safety shortcuts, compressed budgets and application of innovative techniques not yet fully tested and validated, are some factors contributing to an increased probability of risk materialization and disastrous events. This paper aims to provide a statistical interpretation of tunnel project characteristics and their influence on technical risks based on a database with approximately 400 tunnel failure cases. A further goal of the study is to support decision-makers in the risk management process, such as owners, engineers, and insurers by improving their understanding of project sensitivities. The results indicate the significance of technical characteristics (such as tunnel dimensions, construction type, and ground formations). Still, they also reveal some dependence between lower project risks and the application of current project and risk management practices.

Viele Neuheiten gab es zudem bei Spezialtraktoren, ein wichtiger "Treiber" war hier teilweise noch die EU-Abgasstufe V. Alternative Kraftstoffe und Antriebskonzepte waren wiederum vieldiskutierte Themen. Rigitrac baut den batterieelektrischen Kleintraktor SKE 40 mittlerweile in Kleinserie, Monarch Tractor kündigte den Serienstart des MK-V 4 für Anfang 2023 an.
description: German tractor manufacturers were also able to report high sales growth in 2022. However, the number of tractors produced did not grow to the same extent and new domestic registrations even fell. The state of the art and general trends outlined in last year's yearbook are still valid. Fendt and Valtra presented completely new series with the seventh generation 700 and the Q Series, respectively. CNH, too, is getting in on the action with new models in the upper 6-cylinder medium class, which is popular among contractors and larger farms. There were also many innovations in the field of special tractors, an important "driver" here was partly still the EU emission stage V. Alternative fuels and drive concepts were again much-discussed topics. Rigitrac is now producing the battery-electric SKE 40 tractor in small series, Monarch Tractor announced the series launch of the MK-V 4 for early 2023.

Gender Equality in Social Assistance? Transforming Norms and Practices at a Client, Frontline, Organizational and Policy Level in Different Regions of Switzerland: in an intersectional perspective
Creators: name: Lanfranconi, Lucia
name: Togni, Carola
Year: 2024

description: Vulnerability and poverty are closely intervened with gender: this does become very concrete when looking at social assistance. In Switzerland, for example, every fifth single-parent household, from which around 90% are female, are dependent on social assistance (FSO 2022b). Historically, women have been over-represented in social assistance schemes in all industrialized countries. This is partly due to prevailing norms about men as breadwinners and women as mothers and wives that have been embedded in social policy schemes. These norms, however, have been challenged in recent decades by the new ‘activation paradigm’, which promotes work integration of all adults. This project aims to contribute the understanding of how transforming gender equality norms and practice in social assistance are implemented differently by comparing various levels and regions. The topic is highly relevant, as these changing norms are shaping client’s lives, trajectories and opportunities to leave assistance. The research focuses on two Swiss cantons, Vaud and Bern, which differ in their implementation of social assistance and gender culture. In each canton, an urban and a rural social service will be examined with the methodical approach of data triangulation at three levels: 1) analysis of social assistants’ practices and the experience of client’s through observations and interviews (Micro level) 2) analysis of social services norms and practices, across statistical and discourse analysis of organizational documents, focus group, and observations (Meso level). 3): to identify changes and differences between the case studies we will do focus groups, as well as analyzing documents and legal texts since the beginning of the 21st century at the municipal, cantonal and supra-cantonal levels (Macro level). For each of these levels, we will analyze the norms and practices of social assistance around four dimensions: access and intake, material support, personal support and sanctions. We aim to identify mechanisms, factors and practices at all levels that promote gender equality from an intersectional perspective, as well as those that hinder it. The findings will be reflected upon with the various stakeholders, including clients, to develop target-group specific recommendations, summarized in fact sheets for SKOS and SODK, cantons and communes, social services and frontline-workers, schools of social work, etc. The results will help to broaden the gender and intersectionality perspective within social work, welfare state and street-level bureaucrat research in Switzerland and beyond. As this SNSF-funded project is only starting in 2024, the presentation will be based on the current state of the art and the discussion of the planned project.
Thermal decontamination of railway sleepers for recycling. Removal of creosote oil

Subjects: Creosote PAH Railway sleepers Recycling Wood decontamination

description: Because of the high content of PAHs (polyphenolic aromatic hydrocarbons) in wooden railway sleepers, legislative regulations require the thermal combustion of the sleepers after removal from the track bed or permit an altemate usage only in a limited frame. Decontamination experiments were performed by means of temperature and reduced pressure in technical scale, aiming on the removal of the PAHs from used railway sleepers in order to provide alternative ways for recycling of the wood tissue. Both railway sleepers as well as uniform laboratory samples were treated, and subsequently investigated by liquid extraction and liquid injection gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The decontamination treatment at a temperature of 220Â°C removes up to 75% of PAHs, main active substances of the creosote oils. For complete PAHs removal, process parameters need to be further improved.

Extended finite element predictions for three dimensional modeling of fatigue crack growth in cold-worked holes

description: Cold working has been widely used for enhancing the fatigue life of open holes. The process imparts compressive residual stresses around the hole which slows down the progression of crack under cyclic loading conditions. In the present study, fatigue crack growth in open holes in R260 grade steel, a typical railroad material, has been analyzed using the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM). Along with the experimental studies, numerical simulation emerges as a powerful tool to predict the fatigue crack growth in rail steel and may deliver important insights to consider more situations by saving time and cost. XFEM modifies the standard displacement-based approximation by adding enrichment functions in the crack region. The investigation explored the capability of the XFEM, for a plate containing plain hole (baseline), pad coined, or split-sleeve cold-worked hole using the commercial finite element package, Abaqus, as a means of fatigue crack growth under constant amplitude loading. The effect of residual stress redistribution has been added to the numerical model to accurately predict the crack evolution. Stress Intensity Factors (SIF) are obtained from the XFEM calculations and the crack growth is estimated until the SIF reaches the fracture toughness of the modeled coupon material. The obtained simulation results are in good agreement with the fatigue experimental results in terms of the fatigue crack growth rates for plain hole (baseline), pad coined, or split-sleeve cold-worked holes. Results from the performed analysis show that cold working of an open hole increases the fatigue life when compared to the one without residual stresses due to the delay of crack initiation and propagation. The results also indicated fatigue life increase almost by a factor of three during crack propagation due to split-sleeve cold expansion in correlation to the baseline and pad coined sample.
