title: Dynamik, Stabilitäts- und Bifurkationsanalyse von Rotorsystemen mit Luftlagern: Numerische Untersuchung und Optimierung
Creators: name: Zeise, Pascal
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2024

description: Luftlager eignen sich zur Lagerung schnell drehender Rotorsysteme in Umgebungen mit höchsten Reinheitsanforderungen, z. B. in Brennstoffzellen. Weit verbreitet sind Luftlager mit starrem Gehäuse, die aufgrund der geringen Dämpfungseigenschaften von Luft unterhalb der Stabilitätsgrenze betrieben werden müssen. Auch Folienluftlager mit einer zusätzlich dämpfenden Folienstruktur zwischen dem Luftfilm und dem Gehäuse kommen zum Einsatz. Aufgrund der starken Kopplung der Struktur mit dem Luftfilm können Vorspannungen in der Struktur jedoch zu höheren Abhebedrehzahlen und damit zu erhöhtem Verschleiß beim Start/Stopp des Rotorsystems führen.

Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird ein weiterer Typ von Luftlagern, hier bezeichnet als Air Ring Bearing, untersucht, der als eine Kombination der oben genannten Lagertypen angesehen werden kann. Dabei wird eine starre Buchse beweglich zwischen der Folienstruktur und dem Rotor angeordnet. Alternativ zur Folienstruktur kann auch ein Elastomer verwendet werden. Durch die externe, zusätzliche Dämpfung der Folienstruktur ist mit Air Ring Bearings auch ein Betrieb des Rotorsystems oberhalb der Stabilitätsgrenze möglich. Durch die starre Buchse werden Luftfilm und Struktur entkoppelt, wodurch der Rotor früher abhebt und der Lagerverschleiß beim Start/Stopp deutlich reduziert wird.

In dieser Arbeit wird ein schnelldrehendes Rotorsystem mit zwei Air Ring Bearings betrachtet. Ziel ist der Betrieb des Systems oberhalb der Stabilitätsgrenze bei selbsterregten
Schwingungen mit tolerierbaren, moderaten Amplituden. Mithilfe von Hochlaufsimulationen wird das stark nichtlineare Verhalten des Rotorsystems untersucht und anhand von Bifurkationspfaden systematisch beschrieben. Auftretende dynamische Effekte und Bifurkationseffekte aufgrund der Nichtlinearität werden physikalisch ausführlich erklärt. In anschließenden Optimierungsstudien werden weite Parameterbereiche ermittelt, in denen ein technisch sicherer Betrieb des Rotorsystems möglich ist.

Zur Untersuchung des stark nichtlinearen Systems wird ein komplexes Co-Simulationsmodell verwendet. Dieses besteht zum einen aus einem Mehrkörpersystem, in dem die Bewegungen des Rotors und der Buchsen modelliert werden, und zum anderen aus Finite-Elemente-Systemen, die die Luftfilme modellieren.

Αντιπαραβάλλεται η θέση των παιδιών αυτών, όπως αποτυπώνεται μέσα από ιστορικές καταγραφές, με τη θέση των παιδιών ηρώων από τα ασθενέστερα στρώματα, όπως αυτά παρουσιάζονται μέσα από έργα του Καρόλου Ντίκενς. Παράλληλα με την ιστορική έρευνα που αφορά σε βασικούς άξονες της ζωής των παιδιών αυτών και την αποτίμηση της θέσης των παιδιών χαρακτήρων από τα ασθενέστερα στρώματα στον Ντίκενς αξιοποιούνται κοινωνιολογικά εργαλεία από τη κοινωνιολογία της παιδικής ηλικίας, πιο συγκεκριμένα, το νέο θεωρητικό παράδειγμα των James και Prout, σύμφωνα με το οποίο η παιδική ηλικία είναι κοινωνικά κατασκευασμένη. Η ρευστότητα του κανονιστικού μοντέλου της νεωτερικής δυτικής παιδικής ηλικίας αναδεικνύεται τόσο μέσα από τις ιστορικές καταγραφές όσο και από την αμφιθυμία του Ντίκενς μεταξύ δύο διαφορετικών μοντέλων, αυτό του εγγενώς κακού και του εγγενώς καλού παιδιού, ως προς τον τρόπο παρουσίασης των παιδιών χαρακτήρων των ασθενέστερων στρωμάτων στα έργα του. Ζητούμενο της εργασίας είναι η ενδυνάμωση της θέσης του παιδιού μέσα από την αποδόμηση οποιουδήποτε φυσικοποιημένου μοντέλου
description: The aim of the present thesis is the emergence of the experiences lived by the children of the weakest strata in Victorian England through historical records and through Dickens` works. The status of these children reflected through historical records is compared to the status of children heroes from the weakest strata depicted in the work of Charles Dickens. Along with the historical research regarding main sections in these children`s life and the evaluation of the status of Dickens` children characters from the weakest strata, tools from the section of the sociology of childhood are used, in particular, the new theoretical example of James and Prout, according to which childhood is socially constructed. The fluidity of the normative model of modern western childhood emerges both through historical records and through Dickens` ambivalence between two models, that of the inherently bad child and the model of the inherently good child, concerning the way Dickens` children heroes from the weakest strata are depicted in his works. The main issue at stake is to empower child`s status through the deconstruction of any naturalized model

description: This study investigated the impact of menopause stage and level of exercise on depression and perceived body image with 101 women aged 40-60 years. Instruments included a demographic information sheet, the Life Experience Survey (LES), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ). The relationship between menopause stage and depression was not significant. The relationship between menopause stage and perceived body-image was also not significant. Menopausal women do not appear to be more depressed or to have lower body-image perceptions when compared to premenopausal women. The main effect for amount of exercise and perceived body image was significant on some scales on the MBSRQ. Women who exercised were more interested in fitness and were more concerned about their health. The main effect for estrogen use and perceived body-image was also significant on some scales on the MBSRQ. Women who were taking estrogen felt better about their fitness, appearance, and reported more positive body-image scores when compared to women who were not taking estrogen.

description: Executive Summary

 

Reusing poor quality data has limited value. When developing the requirements for the AIDAVA curation virtual assistant, data users repeatedly asked the same question: how reliable the data is. The answer differs depending on the state of the data: i) for data sources, a quality label can be established based on the quality level provided by the data holder — if available — including the credentials of the persons who created and validated the data; ii) for the curated data (i.e. the PHKG), the quality label will be linked to the quality from the source, the level of quality and certification of the curation tools used during transformation, the level of health and literacy of the humans who provided answers when there were semantic gaps, and the number of data quality checks that could not be resolved; iii) for published data, the quality label will be linked to the level of the curated data, the compliance with the target format, the completeness of the content, the absence of bias as well as the quality, reliability and certification of the imputation algorithm, if applicable.

 

This document provides a detailed overview of AIDAVA deliverable 4.6, focusing on data quality and metadata across the health data life cycle. This deliverable serves as a key component in AIDAVA, aimed at developing a comprehensive data quality assessment methodology. This methodology is crucial for ensuring the reliability, transparency, and effective reuse of health data. The document highlights the importance of maintaining high standards of health data quality and incorporates data quality dimensions, methodologies, and tools. Furthermore, deliverable 4.6 is linked with other integral parts of the project, namely deliverables 1.3 (Business requirements for R1) [1], 1.4 (Definition of assessment study including test scenarios & metrics, and study initiation package) [2] , 2.1 (Global data sharing standard) [3], and 2.2 (Details on data curation & publishing process) (deliverable on request). These deliverables introduce SHACL (Shapes Constraint Language) rules and specific data quality guidelines, contributing for establishing data quality practices.

description: Embarking on a new research endeavor can be a daunting task. User guides, books, and published articles are written for an audience that already has some background experience in the field. Undergraduate students like you, who are at the very beginning of their research careers, often struggle to make sense of these documents. Furthermore, students like you often attempt to do so while balancing heavy course loads. Thus, I have written this document to help ease the burden so that you have more time to ponder the interesting scientific questions instead of digging through pages upon pages of documentation. I assume that you already have some basic familiarity with R before starting this project. I also assume that you have a well devised plan for your experimental design, including the variables you want to collect, the sampling scheme, and of course the questions of interest. Finally, I assume that you have taken a basic course in statistics and have a research mentor that can assist you with more advanced statistical methods. This is not an exhaustive user manual, but rather a guide to help you get started on your journey with geometric morphometrics.
Statistical methods for task detection in lifelong reinforcement learning
Creators: name: Dick, Jeffery
Publisher: name: Loughborough University
Year: 2024

description: Lifelong reinforcement learning is a growing field where artificial intelligence agents are expected to learn multiple tasks over a lifetime. Great strides have been made in the field recently, with agents being able to adapt to multiple tasks, and even taking advantage of experience from previous tasks when new tasks are encountered. However, the majority of those agents rely on being told when the task changes or an explicit task label. Labelling these task changes in the lifelong reinforcement learning case is non-trivial as reinforcement learning environments have temporal dynamics and sometimes large state spaces.In this thesis I introduce a variety of statistical methods for detecting and labelling tasks, in order to empower existing lifelong learning agents to work in environments where task labels are not provided. Specifically, two algorithms are introduced: Adaptive Model Detection (AMD), for the discrete Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) setting; and Sliced Wasserstein Online Kolmogorov-Smirnov (SWOKS), for the deep lifelong reinforcement learning setting. Comparisons are made in the latter case between different goodness-of-fit statistical tests.The methods introduced in this thesis are assessed in lifelong learning environments with task interference. Lifelong learning agents equipped with the novel task labelling modules are shown to achieve a higher overall reward compared to agents with no task labels provided. With artificial intelligence being used in an expanding range of real-world problems, statistical methods of detecting changes in the environment may be necessary for the long-term deployment of systems in non-stationary applications.

description: Abstract

Resilience plays a pivotal role in mitigating stress within families of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). While a significant portion of prior research has focused on resilience within parents, there remains ambiguity regarding the specific factors influencing resilience in children. Consequently, our objective was to investigate the resilience observed in parents of children with ASD and its implications on the resilience of the children themselves. Autism Spectrum Disease (ASD) is a set of disorders in intercommunication and interrelation abilities that lead to variable neurodevelopmental disorder. The essential characteristics of this disorder are the presence of an abnormal development in the Communication, Socialization, and Imagination. The objectives were to assess the effectiveness of Autogenic training on anxiety of the mothers with special children. A quasi experimental research design was adopted with 80 samples who met the inclusion criteria caregivers who doesn’t have ideas to cope with autistic child. Self-structured questionnaire method was used for data collection. Data analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. Out of 80 samples 61% of them had severe stress. The mean score of ASD stress minimum score is 14.38, maximum score is 23.31, mean is 8.93and standard deviation is 4.51.

description: The well-equipped eddy-covariance (EC) stations of the ICOS ecosystem network are ideal testbeds for tentatively measuring or estimating additional variables relevant to monitoring or modelling global change. A common limitation of a standard EC station is the confinement of most variables to the EC measurement height, which is typically limited by factors such as footprint size, the need to avoid the roughness sublayer, and tower construction costs. Few (mostly forest) stations provide some measurements below this height, and almost none offer measurements above it. Here, we present past and ongoing efforts to close these gaps.For scalars and wind below the EC height, we developed a profiling system, that mitigates calibration issues and sensor costs by moving sensors and tubes within crop canopies and their roughness sublayer. The original system for CO2, H2O, wind and temperature, which moves up and down continuously at one location, is currently being replaced by a robot-arm based system to enhance flexibility in movement speed and horizontal measurement locations.For scalars above the EC height, we demonstrated in previous research that the potential temperature of the well-mixed part of the convective planetary boundary layer can be estimated from turbulence data measured by the EC equipment. We present first steps to extend this approach to CO2. Ultimately, we aim at testing the feasibility of this and other ‘virtual tall tower’ concepts for infrastructures such as ICOS. In case of a positive evaluation, spatial data density could be dramatically increased helping to verify atmospheric inverse modelling estimates.

description: Abstract

Schwannomas otherwise called as neurilemmomas, which are usually benign are peripheral nerve sheath tumours which arise from Schwann cells that surround the nerve. It is usually benign, well encapsulated tumour, which forms a single, round, or fusiform mass with firm consistency on the course of a nerve. They are usually white to grey in colour. The mentioned cases were followed from April 2022 to December 2023 operated in Vinayaka missions Kirupananda Variyar medical college and hospital, Salem. All the patients presented to the opd with a complaint of swelling over the respective region and appropriate investigations have been done to prove it as a schwannoma. Here, we have talked about a series of cases with uncommon locations for ancient schwannoma, three cases involving the upper limb, involving the lower limb five cases and two cases in other regions (chest wall, behind the ear). With no significant problems, full excision was done to treat all patients. The benign tumours were completely removed while preserving the involved nerve in some cases and sacrificing it in some cases. Two cases have shown post-operative temporary anaesthesia over the surgical site which was resolved in 6 weeks in one case and 8 weeks in another case. Post-operative neuropraxia was complained in one case, which resolved in 6 weeks. The excision of the tumour was challenging because of its proximity to the nerve involved. Hence care was taken to preserve the nerve as much as possible. Hpe: post-excision histopathology in all cases showed signs of hypocellular and hypercellular areas with spindle cells, with Antoni-a and Antoni-b areas and elongated wavy nuclei with dense chromatin with verocay bodies. Ancient schwannoma.

description: The theme of inequalities in its entirety is one of the challenges that, since the dawn of time, all of humanity has barely overcome. The indigenous populations of the Democratic Republic of Congo, in particular the Twa pygmy people, often seen as vulnerable, are victims of excessive social but also spatial inequalities.

These actions taken against these populations have harmful consequences. Because the land represents everything to the indigenous people. It provides food, medicine, shelter, money et many other needs.

Faced with this existential conundrum, political will on the part of the Congolese State would be necessary in order to promote the equitable sharing of the DRC’s natural ressources and implement basic social measures to allow access for all the people Congolese to adequate medical care, to school, to positions of responsibility, etc. without any distinction.

To this end, this study makes an analysis of this very delicate question which is of less and less interest to public opinion and suggests some possible solutions which go in the direction, if not of eradicating more or less of mitigating the inequalities which indigenous peoples are victims.

description: This volume covers Leg 30 of the cruises of the Drilling Vessel Glomar Challenger. Leg 30 was the second cruise of D/V Glomar Challenger in the southwest Pacific arc and marginal sea complex. Previous drilling was carried out on Leg 21. The cruise commenced at Wellington, New Zealand on 24 April 1973 and ended on 13 June 1973 at Guam. During Leg 30 Glomar Challenger steamed 5273 nautical miles (9765 km) and drilling was carried out at five sites, although eight sites were planned for the leg. In view of the extremely complex geological history of the region, the problems that could be resolved in a single leg were very limited. The major general objectives of Leg 30 included: 1) Ages and their trends in marginal basins: South Fiji and Coral Sea; 2) Complete the biostratigraphic zonations for the equatorial Pacific; 3) Obtain further data on the oceanographic and tectonic history of the southwest and western equatorial Pacific; and 4) Structure of an oceanic plateau. Sites 285, 286, and 287 were directed toward the ages and history of marginal basins. Two sites were planned to investigate the Ontong-Java Plateau and its margins. Site 64 on the Ontong-Java Plateau penetrated 985 meters of middle Eocene to Recent biogenous sediments, bottoming in chert horizons. Two sites were planned to complete the biostratigraphic section below the chert (Site 289) and to investigate plateau structure and lithology of reflecting horizons below the chert horizons (Site 288).

description: Features are the building blocks that form the functionality and purpose of a software system.
They represent specific requirements and functionality. As the complexity of a software system grows, managing and extending these features becomes a complex task. Without proper documentation and a clear overview of the given features, the process of identifying, understanding, and modifying specific features can become a time-consuming task.
Developers often need to navigate the system to locate and understand the implementation of certain features. The challenge lies not only in recognizing where a feature is implemented, but also in understanding its interactions with other components.
Properly annotating these features and associating them with relevant parts of the code, helps the developer to identify and address feature-specific changes. However, the benefits of just a textbased feature annotating tool are limited and therefore visualisation would be a good approach to improve the understanding of how and where features are connected within a software system.
Visualisation can provide a representation of how certain features interact with each other without getting lost in code or implementation details.
When done in a meaningful way, visualisation can offer insights that might remain hidden in textual annotations alone such as trends, patterns and dependencies which could potentially lead to optimization opportunities.
In this context, the task of this bachelor thesis is to extend the capabilities of the feature annotation software HAnS while also reimplementing and extending the given visualisation approach.

description: Trafficking of proteins is essential for the communication between the nucleus and cytoplasm during almost all cellular processes, including stress-responsive pathways in DNA repair and apoptosis. Cellular stress is known to inhibit classical transport pathways, preventing trafficking of proteins in response to stress. Importin 13 (IMP13) is unique transporter in that it can perform bi-directional transport of proteins and continue to function under stress. This thesis investigates the role of IMP13 in mediating the trafficking of DNA repair and cell death proteins under cellular stress, and further highlights the critical role of IMP13 in tightly regulating the decision balance between cell survival and death.

description: In current mathematics, the division of a non-zero number by zero is considered undefined and the division of zero by zero is considered indefinite. However, when the subject is examined by considering the fields of mathematics, the elements and types of division, it becomes clear that these assumptions are wrong. In this study, the problems posed by zero in division are examined in detail through various explanations supporting the problems. As a result of the analysis, it is concluded that both a number other than zero and zero can be easily divided by zero. According to this result, in both division operations, the quotient is zero and the remainder is the number being divided. This conclusion is supported by the operations performed and the rules developed for the logic proof.

description: The transition from analog to digital instrumentation and control (I&C) systems introduces new threats caused by cyberattacks in the nuclear industry. This paper proposes a self-healing strategy to respond to a false data injection attack that targets digital I&C systems, which is a type of cyberattack commonly targeting nuclear power plants with the potential to cause serious physical impacts. This resilience strategy for self-healing control contains three components: (1) an anomaly detection model that can detect false data injection attacks, (2) a device-level control that utilizes inferred values to perform control under a detected false data injection, and (3) a system-level control that leverages another controller that is not under attack to lead the system back to a safe operation state when the device-level control is unavailable. Anomaly detection and device-level control use an autoencoder while system-level control utilizes reinforcement learning. The proposed self-healing resilience strategy is demonstrated with a generic pressurized water reactor (GPWR) simulator under false data injections, targeting the steam generator water level. The results show that the proposed strategy effectively leads the system back to a normal operation state under various false data injection cases.

title: Knowledge, behaviour and attitudes of Scottish dairy farmers toward antimicrobial usage and resistance
Creators: name: Borelli, Elena
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

description: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is considered one of the most relevant global health threats. Understanding how farmers use antimicrobials and their awareness and beliefs about AMR is essential to improve antimicrobial usage (AMU) at the farm level. A cross-sectional online survey was carried out to explore Scottish dairy farmers’ knowledge about the meaning of AMR and antimicrobial activity, behaviour and practices related to farm AMU and attitudes towards AMR mitigation. The second aim of this research was to identify the factors affecting the attitude, knowledge and behaviour of dairy producers regarding AMR and prudent AMU. An online survey was disseminated via multiple ways (e.g., social media; farming press). The target population was all Scottish dairy farmers (n = 832). Participation was voluntary and answers were obtained from 61 respondents (7.3% of the target population). Regression analyses were performed to identify predictors for farmers’ level of knowledge about antimicrobials and AMR, AMU behaviour and attitudes towards AMR mitigation. Knowledge of AMR and antimicrobials was variable among participants. Greater knowledge was associated with holding a university degree (OR=28.28, P<0.001), working with mixed livestock (OR=4.82, P<0.05), and trusting only veterinarians’ information about responsible AMU (OR=4.42, P<0.05). Indeed, veterinarians were overall described as the most important source of reliable information and the most influencing advisors on AMU. Many farmers (90%) self-reported a decreased AMU over recent years. In the survey disease scenarios, greater AMU was associated with younger age (OR=0.18, P<0.05) and working in large herds (OR=0.12, P<0.01). Despite the majority (89%) agreeing on the importance of reducing AMU on dairy farms, only 52% acknowledged that AMU on UK dairy farms is currently too high. Respondents were more likely to show positive attitudes towards AMR mitigation if they worked in larger (OR=4.67, P<0.05) or organic dairy farms (OR=18.35, P<0.05). These results indicate that dairy farmers are aware of AMR and have recently reduced their farm AMU. However, more work is needed to improve their attitudes and responsibility to fight AMR. Many social, demographic, and economic factors influencing farmers’ practices and intentions were identified in this study. Advisors should consider these factors when implementing behavioural change programs on farms.
