La contabilità interna come strumento di supporto alle decisioni strategiche: esperienza da un caso aziendale
Creators: name: Dies, Francesco
Publisher: name: Scuola Universitaria della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI)
Year: 2018

description: Un fatturato in progressiva contrazione, margini che sono andati riducendosi nel tempo e un elevato turnover del personale sono solo tre degli indicatori che hanno spinto la direzione della Servodomo SA, azienda ticinese attiva nell’installazione e manutenzione di impianti di riscaldamento ad uso residenziale, a promuovere una profonda analisi economico-finanziaria delle proprie attività per individuare gli aspetti problematici e proporre spunti di miglioramento. L’attività svolta nell’arco di circa tre mesi si è articolata nei seguenti passi: • analisi del contesto e della profittabilità aziendale, atte a qualificare e quantificare l’entità del problema sopra menzionato • analisi di dettaglio, finalizzata a sviluppare l’architettura di un sistema di contabilità interna che consentisse di individuare le cause dei problemi verificati nel passaggio precedente • sviluppo di proposte di miglioramento. Le analisi effettuate hanno permesso anche di evidenziare i gap che sarà necessario colmare per costruire un sistema di costing che risulti completo ed armonico, nonché utile per fornire input affidabili alle decisioni aziendali. Il lavoro presentato ha dunque permesso di individuare alcune direttive strategiche utili a migliorare la profittabilità dell’azienda e suggerimenti tattici che favoriscano il miglioramento continuo. Abstract The turnover in constantly decreasing, profit dropped over time and a high turnover of personnel have been observed in the last years: these are just three of the indicators that drove the CEO of Servodomo SA, a Ticino company active in the installation and maintenance of heating systems for residential use, to promote a deep economic-financial analysis of its activities in order to identify the problems and propose ideas for improvement. The activity carried out during a three-months work was divided into the following steps: • analysis of the company context and profitability, suitable for qualifying and quantifying the extent of the problem mentioned above • detailed analysis, aimed at developing the architecture of an internal accounting system that could identify the causes of the problems verified in the previous step • development of improvement proposals. The analyses carried out have also made it possible to highlight the gaps to be filled in order to build a costing system that is complete and coherent, as well as useful for providing reliable inputs to business decision making. The work presented has therefore allowed to identify some strategic guidelines useful for improving the company's profitability and tactical suggestions encouraging continuous improvement.

description: This study expands understanding to examine the effects of that transmission on children’s prosocial behaviour in early childhood through two hypotheses (refer to Figure 1 for the conceptual model). Firstly, we hypothesize that religious autonomy-support has a positive, direct effect on children’s general prosocial behaviour, costly and no-cost instrumental helping, costly and no-cost ingroup (IG) resource distribution, and costly and no-cost outgroup (OG) resource distribution (H1, refer to Table 1 for child prosocial tasks). In other words, the more parents engage in bidirectional discussion about religion, allow children to express themselves, offer choices for religious practices and provide explanations, the more likely children will act prosocially, even when it comes at a cost. Secondly, we hypothesize that outgroup attitudes will mediate the effect of religious autonomy-support on OG resource distribution, but not the other five prosocial outcomes (H2).

description:  Polder, an important way of land use which widely exists in the lowland plain area, is the product of the long-term adaptive development of human and natural environment. However, the morphology of polder is constantly changing in different areas and even in the same area in different periods. Benefiting from the theoretical basis of Conzenian school, this study attempts to explain the evolution of polder morphology from the perspective of land system. Taking the Beemster in Amsterdam, Netherlands and Jinbaowei in Xuancheng, China as research samples, we compared the change process of land system and the differences in space and time of the corresponding polder morphological characteristics between the two samples, and verified the explanation with an example of Manhattan (former Dutch colony) block morphology in New York, USA. Our study indicates that the land system is the original gene of land morphology and the crucial influencing factor of polder morphology. This study helps to understand the reasons behind the morphology of polders and provides important references for land policy designation during the adaptive development of polders.

description: The Alligator Gar Atractosteus spatula has become a focal species of management and conservation due to declining populations and growing popularity among anglers. The Alligator Gar is sympatric with the Longnose Gar Lepisosteus osseus and Spotted Gar L. oculatus throughout much of its range, providing the potential for hybridization that can complicate conservation efforts. Hybridization between gars has been documented in captivity; however, natural (i.e., wild) hybridization has not been formally assessed. Population sampling and genetic analyses of Alligator Gars in Texas provided an opportunity to examine hybridization among gars and to assess the potential implications for Alligator Gar management. Specifically, we (1) developed markers to distinguish lepisosteid species and their hybrids, (2) characterized hybridization between species, and (3) assessed our ability to differentiate hybrids from parent species via field evaluation of snout morphology. Fin tissue samples from Alligator Gars and putative hybrids, along with a reference sample of Longnose Gars and Spotted Gars, were genotyped for a mitochondrial locus, two nuclear introns, two nuclear exons, and nine microsatellite loci. Natural hybridization was confirmed: 17 F1 Alligator Gar (female) × Longnose Gar (male) crosses and one F1 Longnose Gar × Spotted Gar were identified, as well as three additional hybrids of uncertain ancestry. Field identification of putative hybrids based on snout morphology was conservative: 21 of 26 (81%) were correctly classified as hybrid individuals, with no false negatives. Our data confirm that sympatric lepisosteid populations do hybridize and that general monitoring of hybridization rates can be accomplished afield. We recommend monitoring of hybridization between sympatric gar populations due to the risks associated with genetic introgression, particularly in systems with depressed Alligator Gar stocks.

description: Questa sperimentazione svolta alla scuola dell’infanzia di Gordola Campisci vuole valutare la fattibilità di un percorso innovativo che, grazie alla creazione di una radio di sezione identifichi le modalità e le occasioni offerte da questo media rispetto l’autovalutazione delle proprie competenze comunicative per bambini dai cinque ai sei anni di età. Inoltre, vuole anche dimostrare come questo strumento possa aiutare a sensibilizzare gli allievi in questa fascia d’età ai media, ai loro linguaggi e alle loro forme organizzative. Tramite l’ascolto delle registrazioni effettuate, i bambini hanno avuto l’opportunità di esprimersi a grande gruppo e singolarmente, permettendo la raccolta di dati riguardanti l’autovalutazione e i media. La sperimentazione ha portato interessanti risultati, che vedono lo sviluppo di competenze metacognitive, parte integrante delle capacità di autovalutazione, che hanno permesso di identificare alcune difficoltà incontrate dai singoli bambini in fase procedurale e di conseguenza attuare nuove strategie risolutive. Anche la presa di coscienza del piacere di esprimersi e condividere con gli altri è stato un traguardo reso possibile grazie alla sperimentazione proposta. Per quanto riguarda la sensibilizzazione ai media, si può dire che in alcuni casi i bambini hanno evidenziato il potere esercitato da questi, sia questo negativo o positivo, e di conseguenza l’importanza che i media rivestono nella nostra società.

description: Evaluation of medical devices via clinical trial is often a necessary step in the process of bringing a new product to market. In recent years, device manufacturers are increasingly using stochastic engineering models during the product development process. These models have the capability to simulate virtual patient outcomes. This article presents a novel method based on the power prior for augmenting a clinical trial using virtual patient data. To properly inform clinical evaluation, the virtual patient model must simulate the clinical outcome of interest, incorporating patient variability, as well as the uncertainty in the engineering model and in its input parameters. The number of virtual patients is controlled by a discount function which uses the similarity between modeled and observed data. This method is illustrated by a case study of cardiac lead fracture. Different discount functions are used to cover a wide range of scenarios in which the type I error rates and power vary for the same number of enrolled patients. Incorporation of engineering models as prior knowledge in a Bayesian clinical trial design can provide benefits of decreased sample size and trial length while still controlling type I error rate and power.

description: Background: Proton beam therapy represents a promising modality for left-side breast cancer (BC) treatment, but concerns have been raised about skin toxicity and poor cosmesis. The aim of this study is to apply skin normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) model for intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) optimization in left-side BC. Material and methods: Ten left-side BC patients undergoing photon irradiation after breast-conserving surgery were randomly selected from our clinical database. Intensity modulated photon (IMRT) and IMPT plans were calculated with iso-tumor-coverage criteria and according to RTOG 1005 guidelines. Proton plans were computed with and without skin optimization. Published NTCP models were employed to estimate the risk of different toxicity endpoints for skin, lung, heart and its substructures. Results: Acute skin NTCP evaluation suggests a lower toxicity level with IMPT compared to IMRT when the skin is included in proton optimization strategy (0.1% versus 1.7%, p Conclusions: Our analysis suggests that IMPT might be safely applied without increasing the risk of severe acute radiation induced skin toxicity. The quantitative risk estimates also support the potential clinical benefits of IMPT for left-side BC irradiation due to lower risk of cardiac and pulmonary morbidity. The applied approach might be relevant on the long term for the setup of cost-effectiveness evaluation strategies based on NTCP predictions.

description: Uno degli obiettivi al termine del II ciclo a detta del Piano di studio della scuola dell’obbligo ticinese (2015) è quello di consolidare la propria correttezza ortografica risolvendo eventuali dubbi in autonomia o con l’utilizzo di dati strumenti. Esistono diverse modalità per aiutare i ragazzi a sviluppare le proprie competenze ortografiche e la presente ricerca ne utilizza una in particolare, che ha lo scopo di consolidare in parallelo anche la capacità di lavorare in modo autonomo. Per la ricerca è stato allestito un aterlier (o laboratorio) di ortografia che potesse permettere a degli allievi di quinta elementare di lavorare su cinque difficoltà ortografiche su cui faticavano maggiormente. Questo laboratorio è stato costruito con l’intento di portare i ragazzi ad allenare e consolidare le proprie competenze ortografiche in modo autonomo dalla docente, ma cercando di collaborare con i propri compagni o appoggiandosi a determinati strumenti a loro disposizione. I dati ricavati dal confronto dei risultati ottenuti dagli allievi durante la prova in entrata e quella in uscita hanno permesso di stabilire che una modalità di lavoro come quella presentata, basata su l’utilizzo di un atelier e sul lavoro in autonomia, è efficace dal punto di vista del rendimento. Infatti, il numero di errori commesso dagli allievi è diminuito e allo stesso tempo la loro capacità di lavorare in autonomia è migliorata e si è consolidata. Relatrice: Silvia Demartini.

description: In spite of significant progress in the research of fast radio bursts (FRBs) in recent decade, their origin is still under extensive debate. Investigation on the population of FRBs can provide new insight into this interesting problem. In this paper, based on the first CHIME/FRB catalog, we construct a Bayesian framework to analyze the FRB population, with the selection effect of the CHIME telescope being properly taken into account. The energy function is modeled as the power-law with an exponential cutoff. Four redshift distribution models are considered, i.e., the star formation history (SFH) model, and three time-delayed models (Gaussian delay, log-normal delay, and power-law delay). The free parameters are simultaneously constrained using Bayesian inference method, and the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) is used in model comparison. According to BIC, the log-normal delay model fits the data best. The power-law delay model and Gaussian delay model can also give reasonable fits, although they are not as good as the log-normal delay model. However, the SFH model is strongly disfavored compared with the three time-delayed models. The energy function is tightly constrained and is almost independent of the redshift models, with the best-fitting power-law index $α\approx 1.8$, and cut-off energy $\log(E_c/{\rm erg})\approx 42$. The FRB population shows on average $3\sim 5$ billion years time delay with respect to the SFH. Therefore, the hypothesis that the FRB population traces the SFH is conclusively ruled out.

description: Objectives. To monitor listening habits to personal listening devices (PLDs) using a smartphone application and to compare actual listening habits to self-report data. Design. Two stages: self-report listening habits questionnaire, and real-time monitoring of listening habits through a smartphone application. Study sample. Overall 117 participants aged 18–34 years (mean 25.5 years) completed the questionnaire, and of them, 40 participants (mean age: 25.2 years) were monitored for listening habits during two weeks. Results. Questionnaire main findings indicated that most of the participants reported listening for 4–7 days a week, for at least 30 min at high listening levels with volume control settings at 75–100%. Monitored data showed that actual listening days per week were 1.5–6.5 d, with mean continuous time of 1.56 h, and mean volume control setting of 7.39 (on a scale of 1–15). Eight participants (22%) were found to exceed the 100% noise dose at least once during the monitoring period. One participant (2.7%) exceeded the weekly 100% daily noise dose. Correlations between actual measurements and self-report data were low to moderate. Conclusions. Results confirmed the feasibility of monitoring listening habits by a smartphone application, and underscore the need for such a tool to enable safe listening behaviour.

description: This research investigates finite-time singularity formation in the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations for incompressible fluid dynamics, a fundamental open problem in fluid mechanics and mathematical physics. The classical NS equations assume instantaneous pressure propagation, which diverges from physical realism by neglecting the finite speed of sound—a crucial constraint on the rate of pressure disturbance propagation. Under these classical assumptions, regions of high velocity gradient can experience unbounded energy and vorticity growth, potentially leading to singularities within finite time.

Building on foundational work in fluid mechanics, including the Beale-Kato-Majda criterion, this study introduces a new model: the Equivalent Pressure Boundary (EPB). The EPB enforces finite pressure propagation speeds aligned with the physical speed of sound, thereby regulating energy and vorticity growth in turbulent flows. This approach offers a pathway toward ensuring smooth solutions over time, potentially contributing to resolving the NS smoothness problem—one of the Millennium Prize Problems.

The results presented in this paper advance theoretical fluid dynamics by addressing the limitations of the classical NS model and introducing physically realistic constraints that enhance solution stability. This work has implications for both fundamental research in mathematical physics and practical applications in high-Reynolds number flows.

description: Le linee di confine sono costrutti artificiali che permettono di delimitare uno spazio da un altro, capire cosa è mio e cosa è tu, e spesso anche, identificare chi sono io e chi sei tu. Ci solo luoghi però dove questo confine inteso a livello concettuale non è così rimarcato, questi luoghi sono definiti frontiere, letteralmente quei luoghi che precedono un confine nazionale, sia da una parte che dall’altra. Dove le frontiere si toccano, si toccano anche persone, culture e abitudini differenti, in grado di mischiarsi tra di loro, nonostante lo scopo primario per il quale un confine nasce: dividere. A questo punto però bisogna chiedersi: che cosa succede quando appunto due nazioni differenti si toccano? E come vivono le persone che si ritrovano in questo contesto? Split è il magazine che cercherò di indagare questi fattori mettendo in luce tutti i lati che caratterizzano la cultura e la vita di confine. In questo numero 0 dedicato al mio progetto di tesi verrà mostrato il confine tra la Svizzera e l’Italia e viceversa, dall’Italia alla Svizzera. Ciò per mettere in luce i fattori che si verificano data questa vicinanza, e di conseguenza anche capire come le persone si comportano all’interno di questo territorio.

title: Modeling and simulation of convection-dominated species transfer at rising bubbles
Creators: name: Weiner, Andre
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2020

description: The gas-liquid interface of rising bubbles deforms dynamically due to the interaction of pressure, viscous forces, surface tension, and body forces. For multiphase-contactors, like bubble column reactors, it is of the highest interest to predict how the gas dissolves and reacts in the liquid phase. This mass transfer process strongly depends on convection-dominated, extremely thin species boundary layers forming at the liquid-side of the bubble interface. Numerical simulations can play a significant role in understanding and predicting the complex interactions between flow dynamics and species transport, but the direct solution of both phenomena at the same time is currently not possible. The large difference of spatial scales between velocity and species boundary layer poses one of the main obstacles. This work proposes a subgrid-scale modeling approach for convection-dominated concentration boundary layers. The boundary layer width can be far smaller than the first cell layer at the interface in the computational mesh. The approach is developed for a finite volume discretization and assumes a fully resolved flow field. Convective fluxes, diffusive fluxes, and reaction source terms are corrected based on non-linear reconstructions of the species boundary layer profiles normal to the interface. Two reconstruction algorithms are presented. The first one is based on analytical solutions derived from boundary layer theory, and the second one employs machine learning algorithms to data generated by a simplified simulation setup. To assess the generalization capabilities of the subgrid-scale model for complex bubble shapes and flow scenarios, a hybrid simulation approach is introduced that solves the two-phase flow problem based on the volume-of-fluid method and uses a single-phase solver for species transport simulations. Finally, subgrid-scale models for surfactant adsorption and reactive species transport are combined with an interface-tracking solver. This procedure enables the simulation of a sulfite-sulfate oxidation around small rising bubbles under the influence of surface-active agents. The numerical results are compared to experiments, which visualize the oxygen concentration based on laser-induced fluorescence.

Im Theorieteil werden die Grundlagen zur Partizipation, dem Berufsfeld SKA sowie ein Exkurs zur Interdisziplinarität erarbeitet. An dieser Stelle werden auch das Wohnen, der gemeinnützige Wohnungsbau, sowie die Allgemeine Baugenossenschaft Zürich und ihre Siedlungs- und Quartierarbeit (S&Q) beleuchtet. Aus den Ergebnissen der Forschung werden die Praxisfrage beantwortet und Erkenntnisse für eine zukünftige Berufspraxis der SKA in Wohnbaugenossenschaften (WBG) formuliert. Die qualitative Forschung erfolgte durch Leitfadeninterviews mit Expert*innen aus der ABZSiedlung und der operativen sowie strategischen Ebene der ABZ. Die Interviews wurden mit der inhaltlich strukturierenden qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Udo Kuckartz (2012, S. 77) ausgewertet. Dass Mitwirkungsgefässe vorhanden waren und sich die S&Q dafür einsetzte, wurde in Erfahrung gebracht. Dies erwies sich wiederum als Mehrwert, notwendig und neu, aber auch als herausfordernd und komplex. Die Rollen und Aufgaben der S&Q decken sich mit dem theoretischen Handlungsmodell der SKA und benötigen ein interdisziplinäres Verständnis. Als Motiv und Bedürfnis der Engagierten liess sich die Chance einer siedlungsübergreifenden Zusammenarbeit hin zu einer Gemeinschaft ausmachen. Die Berufspraxis der SKA in WBG zeichnet sich als relevant ab.

description: In alpine regions, karst springs are important sources of drinking water but highly vulnerable to temporary contamination, particularly in response to rainfall events. This variability of water quality requires rapid determination methods of contamination parameters. In this study, we present a multi-parameter approach to determine the dynamics of fecal bacteria, organic carbon and particles at alpine karst springs. Conventional cultivation-based analysis of fecal bacteria such as E. coli is time-consuming. The measurement of the enzymatic activity of E. coli could prove to be a valuable tool for water-quality monitoring in near real time. We used an automated device (ColiMinder) to measure β-D-glucoronidase (GLUC) at an alpine karst spring. To assess the relations between GLUC activity, discharge dynamics and contamination patterns, multiple hydrochemical, physicochemical and microbiological parameters were measured in high resolution. We observed strong correlations between small particles (1.0 and 2.0 µm), conventional E. coli results, ATP measurements and total organic carbon. These parameters also show strong and significant negative correlations with the electrical conductivity. At high contamination levels, GLUC activity also reveals good correlations with E. coli and small particles. The results demonstrate that the investigated karst springs showed fast and marked responses of all investigated water-quality parameters to rain events. At high contamination levels, GLUC and particle-size distribution are suitable parameters for the rapid assessment of bacterial contamination in high resolution. While GLUC activity alone cannot substitute conventional determination methods, a combined use of these parameters is a promising approach for an early-warning system regarding bacterial contamination.

description: Objective: Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a heterogeneous malignancy; we studied how the constitutive cytokine release by the AML cells varies among patients. Methods: We investigated the constitutive release of 28 mediators during in vitro culture for 79 consecutive patients. Results: Constitutive cytokine release profiles differed among patients, and hierarchical clustering identified three subsets with high, intermediate and low release, respectively. The high-release subset showed high levels of most mediators, usually monocytic differentiation as well as altered mRNA expression of proteins involved in intracellular iron homeostasis and molecular trafficking; this subset also included 4 out of 6 patients with inv(16). Spontaneous in vitro apoptosis did not differ among the subsets. For the high-release patients, cytokines were released both by CD34+ and CD34− cells. The mRNA and released protein levels showed statistically significant correlations only for eleven of the cytokines. The overall survival after intensive anti-leukemic therapy was significantly higher for high-release compared with low-release patients. Pharmacological targeting of iron metabolism (iron chelation, transferrin receptor blocking) altered the cytokine release profile. Conclusions: Subclassification of AML patients based on the constitutive cytokine release may be clinically relevant and a part of a low-risk (i.e. chemosensitive) AML cell phenotype.

description: This paper is investigating the insecticide-free protection of ash wood piles through the use of semiochemical dispensers with allochthonous kairomones to control ash bark beetle populations. For this purpose, borehole counts and brood gallery analyses were carried out on log piles of ash wood stored in the forest. Studies have shown that Hylesinus fraxini is repelled by the attractant dispenser with the substance mixture Sexowit, which was actually developed to catch Ips sexdentatus. In addition, the substance mixture has an aggregating effect on various bark beetle antagonists. This causality should be used to find a form of application to protect freshly stacked ash wood from H. fraxini infestation. A recommended form of application should be transferable to other bark beetle- and tree species and substances. In adaptation to the so-called Island Method of bark beetle traps, the wood piles of the five test variants were also arranged like islands. Commercially available Sexowit pheromone dispensers were used, which were attached to the piles. Besides a control without Sexowit dispenser there were test treatments with one, two, four and nine Sexowit dispensers. Within the scope of the investigation, effects between the tested variants could be determined and a recommended application method derived. Compared to control most effective protection of ash log piles was reached with variants treated with four or nine lures of Sexowit. In relation to control infestation was reduced by 78.1% on 4-dispenser variant Sexowit and 88.9% on 9-dispenser variant Sexowit.

description: Il presente lavoro nasce dalla volontà di analizzare i dati di impiego di ULiSSE, nome scelto dalle biblioteche dell’Università della Svizzera italiana per la sua applicazione di Primo Central Index, l'indice centralizzato di Primo, il discovery system della società Ex Libris. Prima dell’analisi è fornito un contesto e sono illustrati i discovery system, Primo Central Index e ULiSSE. L’indagine riguarda i dati da settembre 2015 a giugno 2020, suddivisi in anni accademici e tra la Biblioteca universitaria Lugano e la Biblioteca dell’Accademia di architettura di Mendrisio, ottenuti tramite Primo Analytics (una tecnologia che consente di creare rapporti statistici). L’analisi approfondita dei dati rivela che gli utenti effettuano un buon numero di sessioni nelle collezioni locali, mentre sono decisamente più restii a impiegare ULiSSE. Questa ricerca permette alle due biblioteche in questione di valutare l’impiego che gli utenti fanno di questo servizio specifico e, eventualmente, di promuoverlo, mettendo in pratica alcuni scenari. Per finire viene presentata molto brevemente la possibile evoluzione a partire da dicembre 2020, quando le biblioteche dell’Università della Svizzera Italiana lasceranno il Sistema bibliotecario ticinese per entrare in SLSP (Swiss library service platform).

description: Il lavoro di ricerca s’incentra sul riconoscimento delle proprie e altrui caratteristiche. La domanda che mi pongo è se questo lavoro può portare ad un miglioramento del clima di classe. Con la ricerca si vuole dunque comprendere quali sono gli aspetti positivi che questo tipo di didattica comporta nelle relazioni tra gli allievi di una classe. Presupponendo che la conoscenza personale e degli altri individui accresca il senso del gruppo, il senso del noi; gli allievi sono stati invitati a riflettere sulla propria persona per conoscersi meglio. I bambini hanno ricercato e identificato le proprie identità competenti, coinvolgendo i compagni nel loro riconoscimento, in un progetto avente uno scopo comune, dove le risorse individuali di ciascuno sono diventate ricchezza per tutti. Durante gli interventi proposti, la classe si è così confrontata anche con i principi dell’apprendimento cooperativo, sviluppando l’accoglienza e l’aiuto reciproco, riconoscendo nella collaborazione di tutti i membri del gruppo una risorsa che permetteva di condurre al successo. Le osservazioni svolte e i riscontri degli allievi e della docente titolare hanno permesso di rilevare un’evoluzione positiva dei singoli allievi e del gruppo, dimostrando quanto sia importante considerare queste modalità di lavoro nel contesto scolastico.

description: Dendrobii Herba, a traditional Korean medicine, is used for treating atrophic gastritis, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Phytochemical studies of Dendrobium species and their compounds have been conducted. However, the pharmaceutical effects of these compounds have not yet been elucidated. We performed quantitative determination of four phenolic compounds, – (1) 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, (2) vanillic acid (3) syringic acid and (4) ferulic acid – in Dendrobii Herba using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a photodiode array detector. In addition, we investigated the effects of compounds in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells by measuring of inflammatory mediators. Among the four compounds, 1–3 had a significant inhibitory effect on TNF-α production. The levels of IL-6 were significantly reduced by treatment with compounds 13 and 4 compared with LPS treated cell. All compounds significantly reduced LPS-stimulated PGE2 production. Thus, these four marker compounds from Dendrobii Herba exhibit anti-inflammatory activity by targeting different inflammation-related cytokines.
title: Evaluation des zweidimensionalen hydrodynamisch-numerischen Modells BASEMENT im Vergleich zu Hydro_AS-2D

description: In der vorliegenden Masterthesis wird das, an der Versuchsanstalt für Wasserbau, Hy-drologie und Glaziologie (VAW) der ETH Zürich entwickelte, frei verfügbare Software-Modellpaket BASEMENT mit dem etablierten kommerziellen Programm Hydro_AS-2D hinsichtlich der Eignung für das Hochwasserrisikomanagement verglichen. Dabei werden auch die zugehörigen Preprocessing-Werkzeuge miteinbezogen. Der Vergleich beinhaltet einen theoretischen Teil, in dem die numerischen Verfahren gegenübergestellt werden, eine Anwendung auf ein reales Fallbeispiel zur Ermittlung von Überschwemmungsflächen sowie eine Durchführung von Test Cases aus der Literatur. Des Weiteren werden Aspekte der generellen praktischen Anwendbarkeit behandelt. Für das Fallbeispiel wurden umfassende Daten sowie ein bestehendes Hydro_AS-2D-Modell zur Verfügung gestellt, auf dessen Grundlage ein BASEMENT-Modell erstellt wurde. Aus dem Vergleich geht hervor, dass hinsichtlich der eingesetzten numerischen Verfahren beide Programme, von kleineren Abweichungen abgesehen, recht nah beieinander liegen. Bezüglich der Anwendung auf das reale Fallbeispiel sowie die generelle Eignung für das Hochwasserrisikomanagement bestehen derzeit in BASEMENT noch Defizite hinsichtlich der Netzerstellung sowie bei der Abbildung von Bauwerken im Modell. Die Auswertung der Test-Cases zeigt, dass BASEMENT hier, bezogen auf eine Referenzlösung nach Toro (2001), genauere Ergebnisse produziert als Hydro_AS-2D. In the present work the freely available numerical modelling software BASEMENT, de-veloped at the Laboratory of Hydraulics, Hydrology and Glaciology (VAW) of the ETH Zürich, is compared to the established commercial software Hydro_AS-2D. The focus of the comparison is on the software‘s applicability for flood risk management. The corres-ponding preprocesing-tools are also taken into account. The comparison includes a the-oretical part contrasting the applied numerical methods, a real case study concerning flood mapping generation and the execution of two common test cases. Furthermore, aspects of general practical usability of the software are considered. Comprehensive data including an already existing Hydro_AS-2D-model was provided as a basis for setting up the BASEMENT-model. The comparison shows that differences concerning the numerical methods are relatively small. Regarding the real case study as well as the general applicability for flood risk management there are some deficiencies, especially in terms of grid generation and modelling structures in BASEMENT. The evaluation of the test cases indicates that the BASEMENT results are more accurate in relation to a reference solution by Toro (2001).

description: Anderson localization is a multiple-scattering phenomenon of linear waves propagating within a disordered medium. Discovered in the late 50s for electrons, it has since been observed experimentally with cold atoms and with classical waves (optics, microwaves, and acoustics), but whether wave localization is enhanced or weakened for nonlinear waves is a long-standing debate. Here, we show that the nonlinearity strengthens the localization of surface-gravity waves propagating in a canal with a random bottom. We also show experimentally how the localization length depends on the nonlinearity, which has never been reported previously with any type of wave. To do so, we use a full space-and-time-resolved wavefield measurement as well as numerical simulations. The effects of the disorder level and the system's finite size on localization are also reported. We also highlight the first experimental evidence of the macroscopic analog of Bloch's dispersion relation of linear hydrodynamic surface waves over periodic bathymetry.
