description: In this work, coal bottom ash was modified by alkaline fusion route in order to improve its pore properties and make it a potential adsorbent to remove crystal violet dye from aqueous medium. The solids were characterized and posteriorly subjected to kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic studies, as well as regenerated and reused for five adsorption tests. The alkaline fusion step resulted in the amorphization of material and generation of high surface area (102 m 2 g −1) and pore volume (0.180 cm 3 g−1), resulting in superior performance compared to the raw material. Kinetic and equilibrium studies showed that the adsorption process was better adjusted by the pseudo-second order and Langmuir models, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity at equilibrium was 177. 37 mg g−1, with the adsorptive step occurring spontaneously and endothermically. The adsorbent maintained notable levels of dye removal after five consecutive cycles of thermal regeneration and reuse. Besides, the adsorbent was able to remove 64% of the colour of simulated industrial wastewater. Therefore, the alkaline fusion step proved to be a route capable of transforming the coal bottom ash into an adsorbent with improved textural and adsorptive properties.

description: Das Verfahren eignet sich sowohl für die Eignungsdiagnostik und Arbeitspsychologie als auch für wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Thema Karriere. Karriereplanung wird als proaktiver Verlauf in der Gestaltung einer effektiven Karriere definiert, welcher durch die Kontrollüberzeugung beeinflusst sein kann (Aryee & Debrah, 1992). Das Verfahren ist eine Übersetzung des englischsprachigen "Career Management"-Fragebogens von Gould (1979). Letzterer basiert unter anderem auf der Theorie von Hall (1976), welche von vier Kriterien für die Effektivität der Karriere ausgeht: Arbeitsleistung, Verhaltensweisen, Anpassungsfähigkeit und Identität. Der KP besteht aus neun Aussagen. Reliabilität: Die interne Konsistenz betrug Cronbachs Alpha = .82. Validität: Eine gesonderte deutsche Untersuchung zur Gültigkeit des Verfahrens wird nicht genannt. Die Ergebnisse sprechen jedoch dafür, dass die Karriereplanung im Zusammenhang mit Variablen wie der Menge an Informationen, der Lernmotivation und besonders dem Fokus steht, während sie unabhängig von der Erkundung der Umwelt, der Selbsterkundung und der beabsichtigten-systematischen Erkundung sowie späteren Transferleistungen zu sein scheint.

description: Mit dem KTM soll erkundet werden, wie der Verlust eines Angehörigen sich auf Personen auswirkt. Hierdurch soll auch die "Komplizierte Trauer" mit Intrusionen, Vermeidungen und Fehlanpassungen von anderweitiger Trauer unterschieden werden. Das KTM wurde aus der Manuskriptversion des "Complicated Grief Module" von Horowitz et al. (1992) entwickelt und basiert auf dem "Stress response model". Es existieren die Langversion (Interviewversion) mit 35 Items und die Kurzform mit 27 Items. Reliabilität: Die Korrelationskoeffizienten der einzelnen Symptomkategorien bei der Langversion liegen bei Alpha = .77-.87. Validität: Um die Konstruktvalidität zu messen, wurde bei der Langversion die Effektgröße bestimmt, also inwiefern jedes Item zwischen hoher und niedriger Merkmalsausprägung unterscheiden kann. Drei Items mit einer Effektgröße von unter d = .80 wurden daraufhin ausgeschlossen. Mit Spearman wurde bei der Kurzfassung die Korrelation der Items und der drei Symptomkategorien untereinander gemessen. Die Ergebnisse sprachen dafür, dass die Items sich zwar voneinander unterscheiden, aber mit mehreren Symptomkategorien korrelieren und die Symptomkategorien sich überlappen. Dies deutet darauf hin, dass mit allen drei unterschiedlichen Symptomkategorien trotzdem die gleiche übergeordnete Auffälligkeit gemessen wird.

description: Down-flow hanging sponge (DHS) reactor that is sponge-based trickling filter was considered to be an alternative aerobic treatment system for low strength sewage treatment under tropical conditions. This study aims to determine the process performance of the DHS reactor combined with a pre-treatment sedimentation tank (SED) system installed at the municipality sewage treatment plant in Khon Kaen, Thailand over, 1,600 days. The DHS reactor was operated with three operational periods: low (0.2 kgBODm3 per day), high (0.5–1.3 kgBODm3 per day), and super rates (1.7–2.2. kgBODm3 per day). The results showed effective reductions in biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and suspended solids by more than 74% and 78%, respectively, during the entire experimental period. Moreover, the final effluent met the Thailand discharge standard with an external short hydraulic retention time of 0.2 h. In addition, the combined system facilitates simultaneous nitrification and denitrification and effectively removed up to 43% of total nitrogen. The self-degradation of the organic compounds occurs owing to the retained sludge in the DHS reactor; this leads to undisputed clogging in sponge media. Therefore, the combined SED-DHS system could be an appropriate sewage treatment system for tropical conditions.

Personen mit hoher Schmerzakzeptanz richten demnach ihren Aufmerksamkeitsfokus weniger auf den Schmerz und dessen Beseitigung als vielmehr auf Möglichkeiten, trotz gewisser schmerzbedingter Beeinträchtigungen aktiv am privaten, sozialen und beruflichen Leben teilzuhaben. Der CPAQ-D enthält 20 Aussagen, sich auf den Umgang mit bzw. die Bewertung von chronischen Schmerzen beziehen. Sie sind zu zwei Subskalen zusammengefasst: (1) Aktivitätsbereitschaft (AB; k = 10) und (2) Schmerzbereitschaft (SB; k = 8). Reliabilität: Cronbachs Alpha beträgt Alpha = .84-.87. Validität: Beide CPAQ-D-Subskalen und die Gesamtskala korrelierten moderat bis hoch negativ mit Indikatoren psychischer Belastung (z. B. ADS-L, HADS-D, CSQ, PDI, SES). Hingegen zeigten sich keine oder nur geringe Zusammenhänge mit weiteren Schmerzmaßen, z. B. dem Chronifizierungsstadium nach dem Mainzer Stadienkonzept chronischer Schmerzen, der sensorischen Schmerzintensität, der bisherigen Schmerzdauer in Jahren und weiteren Indikatoren der Schmerzintensität sowie experimentell erfassten Unterschieden in der thermischen Schmerzschwelle. Zudem ließ sich kein Zusammenhang zwischen der momentanen Schmerzstärke und der Schmerzakzeptanz nachweisen (r = .16).

description: Heavy metal immobilization using biochar (BC) is different from the usual soil incubation due to the low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs) in the rhizosphere and is an issue worth evaluating. Therefore, the impacts of rice husk BC (5%), tartaric acid, and oxalic acid, coupled with combinations of BC and tartaric acid/oxalic acid on the transformation of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) among their geochemical forms, including their bioavailability in a metal-contaminated soil, were investigated in an incubation experiment. The application of BC, low concentration of tartaric acid (2 mmol kg−1 soil) (TA2), and the combined BC plus a low level of tartaric acid (BC-TA2) markedly reduced the acid-soluble and available (CaCl2-extractable) Cd, Pb, and Zn compared to control (CK) in which BC-TA2 was found to be the most effective treatment. The trends were reversed in the case of the high concentrations of tartaric acid (>5–20 mmol kg−1 soil), all levels of oxalic acid (2–20 mmol kg−1 soil), and the combined BC plus high levels of tartaric acid/oxalic acid treatments. The BC-TA2 transformed the highest amounts of acid-soluble and reducible Cd, Pb, and Zn to the oxidizable and residual fractions with incubation time. The results suggested that the low concentration of tartaric acid enhanced Cd, Pb, and Zn immobilization, while the higher level of tartaric acid and all concentrations of oxalic acid increased their mobilization. In conclusion, BC-TA2 could immobilize the most heavy metals and serve as an amendment for metals’ immobilization/redistribution in contaminated soils.
Changing Trends in Wave Heights in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic Region
Creators: name: Lane, Hillary
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries

description: The pace and effects of climate change are an area of constant focus for coastal engineers as evolving patterns in the atmosphere worldwide affect the oceans and coasts on a regional and global scale. Surface waves respond to changing wind patterns both locally and from propagating swell, and the difficulty in predicting future wind patterns is well-established. Expectations that climate change will result in more frequent and intense coastal storms and consequently greater wave heights in the North Atlantic are still unrealized, and recent forecasts from a variety of atmosphere-ocean coupled global climate models instead predict decreasing wave heights through the end of the century in many areas of the world, including the U.S. Atlantic coast.

In this thesis, an analysis of trends in significant wave heights and extreme waves using hourly data recorded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Data Buoy Center buoys finds wave heights along the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. east coast unchanged or beginning to trend downward from the later years of the 20th century into the 21st century. From the southernmost latitude in the study to the northernmost, a progressive change is evident with latitude. At the southernmost buoy, 44014, located off of Virginia Beach, VA, hourly significant wave heights are virtually unchanged during the time series (1.83e-6 m/year from 1991-2002 and -5.57e-6 m/year from 2003 - 2015). At buoy 44009, located off the southern tip of New Jersey, the trend reverses from slightly upward to slightly downward (+3.85e-5 m/year in 1986 - June 2001 versus - 2.42e-5 m/year from Jul 2001 - Dec 2015). Farthest north, at buoy 44025 south of Islip, NY, the trend reversal again occurs (+ 2.39e-5 m/year in April 1991 - Jan 2003 versus -2.41e-5 m/year in Jan 2003 - Dec 2015). Seasonal trends follow the same path with the most evident change being a 0.05 m/ year decrease in extreme waves in the northern region of the study area. Hindcast data from the U.S. Geological Survey allow for an extension of the climatology and analysis to 40 years and shows a clear decrease in storm wave heights.

Es werden mehrere soziale und psychologische Konstrukte, wie das Geschlecht, die Herkunft (urban oder ländlich), das zwischenmenschliche Vertrauen, die Studienrichtung, das Interesse für Spannung und Grusel und die Quelle der urbanen Legenden, dahingehend untersucht, in wie fern sie einen Einfluss auf die Empfänglichkeit von Studenten für diese Art von Erzählung haben. Diese Konstrukte werden mit einem Fragebogen erhoben und die Daten anschließend mit verschiedenen multivariaten Analyseverfahren untersucht. Diese Arbeit soll dabei helfen, einen Einblick in die Bedeutsamkeit urbaner Legenden in der heutigen Gesellschaft zu liefern.
description: Aim of this diploma thesis is to clarify the impact of diverse parameters on the receptivity of viennese students for urban legends. To this end several constructs regarding the probant’s sociodemographic characteristics (sex, origin, course of study) and his/her psychological profil (interpersonal trust, interest in suspense an horror) were surveyed. These data as well as the source of the used urban legends will be statistically analysed using diverse multivariate methods. This approach will help to gain more insights into the role of urban legends in the modern society.

description: Syringe pumps are widely used biomedical equipment which offer low-cost solutions to drive and control flow through microfluidic chips. However, they have been shown to transmit mechanical oscillations resulting from their stepper motors, into the flow, perturbing device performance. In this work, unlike previous studies at lower flow rates, we have uncovered that the relative pressure fluctuation plateau from 5mL/h onwards to approximately 2% of the average pressure. Furthermore, we find that absolute pressure fluctuations increase as a non-linear monotonic function of kinematic viscosity at flow rates in the 5-25 mL/h range, while the relative pressure fluctuations peak at 1.25 cSt. Using a novel low-cost coded compressive rotating mirror (CCRM) camera, we investigated the effect of fluctuations in a hydrodynamic microfluidic separation device based on a cell-free layer concept. Using this high-speed imaging set-up, we quantified the cell-free zone width fluctuations at bifurcations. We demonstrated that these fluctuations have the same frequency and amplitude than the syringe pump induced pressure oscillations. Finally, to illustrate that pressure fluctuations degrade the separation efficiency in such devices, we demonstrate using milk samples, instances of particles diverted to undesired outlets. This work provides an insight into the effect of syringe pump fluctuations on microfluidic separation, which will inform the design of microfluidic systems and improve their resilience to pulsating or fluctuating flow conditions.

This study aims to determine the process performance of the DHS reactor combined with a pre-treatment sedimentation tank (SED) system installed at the municipality sewage treatment plant in Khon Kaen, Thailand over, 1,600 days. The DHS reactor was operated with three operational periods: low (0.2 kgBODm3 per day), high (0.5-1.3 kgBODm3 per day), and super rates (1.7-2.2. kgBODm3 per day). The results showed effective reductions in biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and suspended solids by more than 74% and 78%, respectively, during the entire experimental period. Moreover, the final effluent met the Thailand discharge standard with an external short hydraulic retention time of 0.2 hours. In addition, the combined system facilitates simultaneous nitrification and denitrification and effectively removed up to 43% of total nitrogen. The self-degradation of the organic compounds occurs owing to the retained sludge in the DHS reactor; this leads to undisputed clogging in sponge media. Therefore, the combined SED-DHS system could be an appropriate sewage treatment system for tropical conditions.

description: We have studied the persistence probability $p(t)$ of an active Brownian particle with shape asymmetry in two dimensions. The persistence probability is defined as the the probability of a stochastic variable that has not changed it's sign in the fixed given time interval. We have investigated two cases: diffusion of a free active particle and that of harmonically trapped particle. In our earlier work, \emph{Ghosh et. al.}, Journal of Chemical Physics, \textbf{152},174901, (2020), we had shown that $p(t)$ can be used to determine translational and the rotational diffusion constant of an asymmetric shape particle. The method has the advantage that the measurement of the rotational motion of the an-isotropic particle is not required. In this paper, we extend the study to an active an-isotropic particle and show how the persistence probability of an an-isotropic particle is modified in the presence of a propulsion velocity. Further, we validate our analytical expression against the measured persistence probability from the numerical simulations of single particle Langevin dynamics and test whether the method proposed in our earlier work can distinguish between an active and a passive an-isotropic particle.

description: Die NES ist eine Übersetzung von 16 Items einer englischsprachigen Skala, deren Entwicklung auf Jarvis und Petty (1996) zurückgeht. Sie soll das Bedürfnis und die grundlegende Bereitschaft von Personen erfassen, bewertende Urteile zu Einstellungsobjekten abzugeben. Die 16 Items sind auf zwei Unterskalen aufgeteilt: (1) Bewertungsbedürfnis (k = 7) und (2) Neutralitätsbedürfnis (k = 5). Reliabilität: Cronbachs Alpha lag bei Alpha = .60-.70. Validität: Es wurde untersucht, wie valide die NES die Bereitschaft von Personen erfasst, bewertende Urteile zu Einstellungsobjekten abzugeben. Diesbezüglich wurden exploratorische und konfirmatorische Faktorenanalysen durchgeführt, welche Anhaltspunkte für die interne Validität der Gesamtskala und die interne Konsistenz der beiden Teilskalen lieferten. Als Indikatoren für die externe Validität dienten die Korrelationen zu den einzelnen Zusatzskalen sowie zum Alter und dem Geschlecht der Untersuchten. Schwach positive Korrelationen ergaben sich mit Need for Cognition (NFC), Faith in Intuition (FI), Selbstwert (SWG) und Selbstwirksamkeit (SWE)

description: The RN-15/IDDP-2 deep geothermal well of the DEEPEGS EU project on the Mid-Atlantic ridge at Reykjanes, Iceland, is a unique site for geothermal research. With a bottom hole temperature of approximately 426°C, it is one of the hottest geothermal wells ever drilled aiming for fluids at supercritical condition. Consequently, down-hole measurements are reliable to a depth of about 3.5 km, only. Pressure and temperature condition in the reservoir can be inferred using the newly developed wellbore simulator WellboreKit.
Due to complete fluid loss, the well has been drilled at flow rates that reach hydraulic stimulation condition. After the drilling, the well was stimulated further by applying different concepts ranging from high flow rate hydraulic stimulation to long-term but low flow rate hydraulic stimulation to increase the reservoir performance at around 4.6 km depth. Thermo-hydro-mechanically coupled numerical modelling was performed to predict the performance response and thus, develop a well stimulation schedule. Processes related to drilling and stimulation are monitored using seismic and magnetotelluric methods to characterize and understand the processes ongoing during injection.

description: In this study, we synthesized and modified titanate nanotubes (TNTs) under different conditions of acid rinsing and calcination. The produced materials were then characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, temperature programmed desorption, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis. The activity of material was evaluated via its application for disinfection of Coliforms and removal of natural organic matters (NOMs) in river water. Results showed that TNTs rinsed at pH 1.6 and calcined at 500°C had the highest removal efficiency for the treatment of Coliforms and NOMs in Sai Gon river water, possibly due to its high surface area, crystallinity, and surface acidity. The application of this TNTs material for the treatment of waters from Dong Nai River and Mekong River also show high removal efficiency, which could meet the quality standard for supply water, suggesting the potential of TNTs for practical drinking water treatment.
title: "Gender bei der Arbeit"
Creators: name: Weilenmann, Ursula

description: Sowohl der Zugang zu Technik und Technologien als auch das Phänomen des geschlechtsspezifisch geteilten Arbeitsmarktes, auf dem Frauen in Arbeitsbereichen mit Technikbezug nicht oder nur marginal vertreten sind, können als eng verknüpft mit gesellschaftlich wirksamen Konzepten von Gender gesehen werden. Der soziohistorische Hintergrund von Technikberufen – die Entstehung des Ingenieurwesens lässt sich auf das Kriegshandwerk, Handwerk und technische Beamtentum zurückführen – schlägt sich im Alltagsverständnis in der Verknüpfung von Technikkompetenz mit Konzepten von Männlichkeit nieder. Diese Zuschreibung wird in Prozessen des „doing gender“ bei Berufswahlprozessen wirksam und resultiert darin, dass Frauen und Mädchen das männlich konnotierte Arbeitsfeld Technik in der Mehrheit für sich ausschließen. Perspektiven zur Erklärung des durch Frauen- und Männerberufe gekennzeichneten Arbeitsmarktes werden durch konstruktivistische Erklärungsansätze aus der Geschlechterforschung eröffnet, die davon ausgehen, dass Geschlecht in der sozialen Praxis durch Arbeit konstruiert wird, Berufe also im Sinne des gesellschaftlichen Herstellungsprozesses von Gender geschlechtskonstituierend wirken. Die Auswertung der Leitfaden-Interviews, die mit Expertinnen, die Berufsorientierungsmaßnahmen für Frauen und Mädchen im Hinblick auf technisch-naturwissenschaftliche und handwerkliche Berufe umsetzen, geführt wurden, machen deutlich, dass junge Frauen über wenig Selbstbewusstsein im Umgang mit Technik verfügen – ein Umstand, der sich auf mangelnde Zugangsmöglichkeiten zu technischen Inhalten im privaten Umfeld und im schulischen Bereich zurückführen lässt. Der Einfluss durch Familie, Umfeld, Sozialisationsinstanzen wie Bildungsinstitutionen sowie gesellschaftliche Rollenbilder und die Vermittlung von Konzepten von Weiblichkeit, die Technikkompetenz ausschließen, wirken sich in einem eingeschränkten Berufswahlspektrum von Frauen und Mädchen aus. Frauen, die sich für technische Berufe entscheiden, wird großes Selbstbewusstsein abverlangt, da sie in Ausbildungsinstitutionen und Unternehmen mit Technikschwerpunkt als abweichend von der männlichen Norm, als „Exotinnen“ und „das Andere“ wahrgenommen werden und kontinuierlich ihr Interesse und Talent für technische Inhalte beweisen müssen. Im Gegensatz dazu wird Männlichkeit mit Technikbeherrschung in Verbindung gebracht und Technikinteresse und -kompetenz Männern unhinterfragt zugeschrieben. Konzepte von Gender werden als grundlegendes soziales Ordnungskriterium im Berufswahlverhalten sichtbar und tragen dazu bei, dass Frauen und Mädchen trotz langjähriger Aktivitäten, um den Frauenanteil in technischen Branchen in Österreich zu steigern, nach wie vor nicht-traditionelle Berufe nur in der Minderheit für sich wählen und zu technischen Berufsfeldern schwer Zugang finden.

description: Heavy metal immobilization using biochar (BC) is different from the usual soil incubation due to the low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs) in the rhizosphere and is an issue worth evaluating. Therefore, the impacts of rice husk BC (5%), tartaric acid, and oxalic acid, coupled with combinations of BC and tartaric acid/oxalic acid on the transformation of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) among their geochemical forms, including their bioavailability in a metal-contaminated soil, were investigated in an incubation experiment. The application of BC, low concentration of tartaric acid (2 mmol kg-1 soil) (TA2), and the combined BC plus a low level of tartaric acid (BC-TA2) markedly reduced the acid-soluble and available (CaCl2-extractable) Cd, Pb, and Zn compared to control (CK) in which BC-TA2 was found to be the most effective treatment. The trends were reversed in the case of the high concentrations of tartaric acid (>5-20 mmol kg-1 soil), all levels of oxalic acid (2-20 mmol kg-1 soil), and the combined BC plus high levels of tartaric acid/oxalic acid treatments. The BC-TA2 transformed the highest amounts of acid-soluble and reducible Cd, Pb, and Zn to the oxidizable and residual fractions with incubation time. The results suggested that the low concentration of tartaric acid enhanced Cd, Pb, and Zn immobilization, while the higher level of tartaric acid and all concentrations of oxalic acid increased their mobilization. In conclusion, BC-TA2 could immobilize the most heavy metals and serve as an amendment for metals’ immobilization/redistribution in contaminated soils.
