description: Data availability is a recurrent barrier when attempting to analyse the human dimension in fisheries. This report introduces a methodological approach to measure the human dimension within Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement fisheries (SFPAs), combining different variables which are going further from those used within the current ex-ante ex-post evaluations.
 The methodological approach combines quantitative and qualitative data sources, namely literature review, data gathering and harmonization and in-depth interviews, to develop a comprehensive and accurate description of the human dimension of long-distance fisheries of the EU within the SFPAs of Cabo Verde and Senegal. The method follows a 4 steps process set to provide a better understanding of the magnitude of fishing activity: (1) environmental and fisheries; (2) human dimension at sea; (3) human dimension at port; and (4) human dimension at international level.
 These case studies selected for testing the methodological approach, have displayed significant results on the importance of the fishing dimension in their national fisheries.
 The analysis of Cabo Verde points out how the tuna fishery is a high-relevant activity for the EU fleet. It is prompting a development of the processing industry also driving local socioeconomic development, despite certain weaknesses in port infrastructure to support the processing industry.
 In the Senegalese case study, the variety of actors, species and trade flows have mitigated the role of EU fleet as primary agent. Nevertheless, the SFPA has facilitated linkages between EU capital and local fleets through mixed-ventures.
 The case studies evidence the applicability of the method and provide relevant outputs, oversighted in other analysis. Finally, the conclusion suggests next steps to advance forward the approach, particularly for those flows involving the EU and the NON-EU long-distance fleet.

description: Understanding the potential inhalation toxicity of poorly characterized aerosols is challenging both because aerosols may contain numerous chemicals and because it is difficult to predict which chemicals may present significant inhalation toxicity concerns at the observed levels. We have developed a novel systematic procedure to address these challenges through non-targeted chemical analysis by two-dimensional gas chromatography–time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOFMS) and assessment of the results using publicly available toxicity data to prioritize the tentatively identified detected chemicals according to potential inhalation toxicity. The procedure involves non-targeted chemical analysis of aerosol samples utilizing GC × GC-TOFMS, which is selected because it is an effective technique for detecting chemicals in complex samples and assigning tentative identities according to the mass spectra. For data evaluation, existing toxicity data (e.g. from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency CompTox Chemicals Dashboard) are used to calculate multiple toxicity metrics that can be compared among the tentatively identified chemicals. These metrics include hazard quotient, incremental lifetime cancer risk, and metrics analogous to hazard quotient that we designated as exposure–(toxicology endpoint) ratios. We demonstrated the utility of our procedure by detecting, identifying, and prioritizing specific chemicals of potential inhalation toxicity concern in the mainstream smoke generated from the machine-smoking of marijuana blunts. By designing a systematic approach for detecting and identifying numerous chemicals in complex aerosol samples and prioritizing the chemicals in relation to different inhalation toxicology endpoints, we have developed an effective approach to elucidate the potential inhalation toxicity of aerosols.

description: Adverse cardiovascular effects are associated with both diesel exhaust and road traffic noise, but these exposures are hard to disentangle epidemiologically. We used an experimental setup to evaluate the impact of diesel exhaust particles and traffic noise, alone and combined, on intermediary outcomes related to the autonomic nervous system and increased cardiovascular risk. In a controlled chamber 18 healthy adults were exposed to four scenarios in a randomized cross-over fashion. Each exposure scenario consisted of either filtered (clean) air or diesel engine exhaust (particle mass concentrations around 300 µg/m3), and either low (46 dB(A)) or high (75 dB(A)) levels of traffic noise for 3 h at rest. ECG was recorded for 10-min periods before and during each exposure type, and frequency-domain heart rate variability (HRV) computed. Endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness were assessed after each exposure using EndoPAT 2000. Compared to control exposure, HRV in the high frequency band decreased during exposure to diesel exhaust, both alone and combined with noise, but not during noise exposure only. These differences were more pronounced in women. We observed no synergistic effects of combined exposure, and no significant differences between exposure scenarios for other HRV indices, endothelial function or arterial stiffness. Three-hour exposure to diesel exhaust, but not noise, was associated with decreased HRV in the high frequency band. This indicates activation of irritant receptor-mediated autonomic reflexes, a possible mechanism for the cardiovascular risks of diesel exposure. There was no effect on endothelial dysfunction or arterial stiffness after exposure.

description: After more than one century from its first use for electric power production, steam cycles are still the object of continuous research and development efforts worldwide. Indeed, owing to its favorable thermodynamic properties, steam cycles are not only used in coal-fired power plants but in a large variety of applications such as combined cycles, concentrated solar power plants and polygeneration plants. On the other hand, to cope with the efficiency and flexibility requirements set by today’s energy markets, the design and the operation of steam cycles must be carefully optimized. A key rule is played by the simulation and optimization codes developed in the last 30 years. This paper provides an introduction to the main types of simulation and optimization problems (design, off-design operation and dynamic), an overview of the mathematical background (possible solution approaches, numerical methods and available software), and a review of the main scientific contributions.

description: Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) serve as high-entropy sources for Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems. However, the raw data from these quantum sources require post-processing to achieve a nearly uniform distribution. This work presents a state-of-the-art implementation of the Toeplitz Strong Extractor on an FPGA, achieving a benchmark extraction speed of 26.57 Gbps. A detailed implementation flow of the post-processing on the FPGA is provided, along with the execution speeds obtained for different randomness extraction ratios. Raw data from an in-house phase noise-based QRNG is processed on the FPGA using this implementation, and the output is validated using the NIST STS 2.1.2 statistical randomness test suite.

description: The Generalized Supremum Augmented Dickey-Fuller (GSADF) technique is performed to resolve whether the Indonesian Rupiah/US exchange rate has experienced multiple explosive bubbles. The GSADF uncovers that the Indonesian Rupiah/US exchange rate deviates from the fundamental values by six times from January 1985 to September 2023, periodically indicating the presence of numerous explosive behaviors. Once the full-sample period separates into the managed-floating regime and the free-floating regime, the GSADF still detects multiple bubbles. Of particular curiosity on uncertainty trinity, this study underlines that global geopolitical risk negatively drives explosive actions in the ratio of exchange rates for non-traded and traded goods. The global economic policy uncertainty negatively affects speculative bubbles in the exchange rate and the ratio of exchange rates for non-traded. The country's geopolitical risks negatively strike only speculative bubbles in the exchange rate. Further, we find heterogeneity in our results by examining different exchange rate systems. The robustness checks further firmly ascertain across baseline empirical findings.

Malleable load balancing

description: Previous efforts on making Satisfiability (SAT) solving fit for high performance computing (HPC) have led to super-linear speedups on particular formulae, but for most inputs cannot make efficient use of a large number of processors. Moreover, long latencies (minutes to days) of job scheduling make large-scale SAT solving on demand impractical for most applications. We address both issues with Mallob, a framework for job scheduling in the context of SAT solving which exploits malleability, i.e., the ability to add or remove processing power from a job during its computation. Mallob includes a massively parallel, distributed, and malleable SAT solving engine based on HordeSat with a more succinct and communication-efficient approach to clause sharing and numerous further improvements over its precursor. For example, Mallob on 640 cores outperforms an updated and improved configuration of HordeSat on 2560 cores. Moreover, Mallob can solve many formulae in parallel while dynamically adapting the assigned resources, and jobs arriving in the system are usually initiated within a fraction of a second.

description: We present a model of an evolving spherically symmetric dissipative self-gravitating fluid distribution which tends asymptotically to a ghost star, meaning that the end state of such a system corresponds to a static fluid distribution with vanishing total mass, and energy-density distribution which is negative in some regions of the fluid. The model is inspired in a solution representing a fluid evolving quasi-homologously and with vanishing complexity factor. However in order to satisfy the asymptotic behavior mentioned above, the starting solution has to be modified, as a consequence of which the resulting model only satisfies the two previously mentioned conditions, asymptotically. Additionally a condition on the variation of the infinitesimal proper radial distance between two neighboring points per unit of proper time is imposed, which implies the presence of a cavity surrounding the center. Putting together all these conditions we are able to obtain an analytical model depicting the emergence of a ghost star. Some potential observational consequences of this phenomenon are briefly discussed at the last section.

description: Despite the recent initiatives and developments in building design provisions using performance-based design, practicing engineers frequently adopt force-based design approaches, irrespective of the structural system or building irregularity. Modern seismic building codes adopt the concept of simplifying the complex nonlinear response of a structure under seismic loading to an equivalent linear response through elastic analytical procedures using seismic design response factors. Nevertheless, code-recommended seismic design response factors may not result in a cost-effective design with a uniform margin of safety for different structural systems. Previous studies also adopted different methodologies for quantifying the seismic response factors. Hence, there is a pressing need for a comprehensive review covering the developments in quantifying these vital design factors. This paper presents a systematic review of the response factors used with linear analytical procedures recommended by modern building design provisions and the techniques employed in previous studies to evaluate these factors using SDOF and MDOF systems covering analytical, experimental and hybrid assessment approaches. Limitations and gaps identified from the previous studies indicated that most investigations focused on 2D analysis and regular low-rise buildings, while limited studies were directed to shear wall structures, considering mostly unidirectional seismic loading. This comparative review provides insights into previous studies’ methodologies and constraints and identifies the need for future research to calibrate seismic response factors to achieve more economical designs with consistent safety margins for different structural systems.

Commercial Cloud

description: The Open Clouds for Research Environments project (OCRE), aims to accelerate cloud adoption in the European research community, by bringing together cloud providers, Earth observation (EO) organisations and the research and education community, through ready-to-use service agreements and €9.5 million in adoption funding. Key to this are the tenders that will be published by OCRE. The initial priority is to make commercial cloud and digital services available to the broader European research community with the intention to drive agility across research related tasks and activities and improve research outcomes. This will be achieved by means of a procurement framework providing easy access for researchers to a set of compliant, flexible digital tools by means of appropriate frameworks. This toolset will comprise of commodity cloud services (IaaS) with some related platform and software solutions. A critical structural element of the cloud services procurement framework was examined by the EC review panel. After extensive market analysis and supplier engagement, the procurement team decided that the only way to ensure sustainable access to cloud-related digital services was to have suppliers of these services with a supportive local presence focused on the researcher at point of consumption. The only viable solution identified was to select suppliers (often resellers of cloud platforms with local servicing capabilities) via a lot per country. It is imperative that this design is understood and supported. Once the cloud tender documents were approved by the Commission, the tender was published on the Negometrix platform and announced on TED on 16 April 2020. The tender is scheduled to close on 23 June 2020 after which supplier bids will be evaluated and scored.

description: Konventionelle, passive Fahrwerkskonzeple bestehen aus einem Feder- und einem Dämpferelement und das Systemverhalten ist mit der Abstimmung der Steifigkeils- und Dämpfungswerte fest vorgegeben. Bei der Fahrwerksabstimmung werden die Zielfunktionen Fahrsicherheit und -komfort für das jeweilige Fahrzeugkonzept ausgelegt. Jede optimale Lösung stellt ein Kompromiss zwischen Fahrsicherheit und -komfort dar, da die beiden Zielfunktionen gegenläufig sind. Alle optimalen Lösungen liegen im sogenannten Konfliktdiagramm auf einer Pareto-Linie. In dieser Arbeit wird gezeigt, wie ein hydraulisch übersetzter Leichtbautilger - Fluid Dynamic Absorber - in das Fahrwerk integriert und das Systemverhalten durch die Veränderung der Systemtopologie verbessert wird. Prinzip bedingt bringt ein Tilger immer zusätzliche Masse in das System ein. Dieses unerwünschte Verhalten wird durch die hydraulische Übersetzung (Prinzip der virtuellen Masse) minimiert. Hierzu wird der Leichtbautilger an das Chassis, das als Quasi-Inertialsystem dient, angebunden.

description: Ever since cyber attacks focused on industrial and critical infrastructure settings, the awareness of the security issues of these systems has increased. These industrial control systems (ICS) mainly focus on operation and availability — instead of providing general security features. Moreover, the current Industry 4.0 movement aggravates this security gap by connecting the ICS to the enterprise network, which facilitates targeting these systems. Proper system testing can reveal the system's vulnerabilities and provide remedies. However, security measures are usually neglected or addressed after an emerging incident only, which results in high costs. To maximize the benefit of system testing, we argue that it should be carried out as early as possible, especially to render systems secure-by-design. In this work, we propose an approach for introducing security-by-design system testing by the application of a digital twin. A digital twin is able to represent a system virtually along its lifecycle. To enable security-by-design, the simulation capability of digital twin is harnessed to create a prospective environment of a planned system. This allows detecting vulnerabilities before they can emerge in the real-world and providing a adequate risk strategy. Our work shows how security-by-design system testing is anchored in the security applications along a system's lifecycle. Next to proposing a security-by-design system testing approach with digital twins, we implement a digital twin representing a pressure vessel, and demonstrate how to carry out each step of our proposed approach. During this proof-of-concept, we identify vulnerabilities and show how an attacker can compromise the system by manipulating values of the pressure vessel with the potential to cause over-pressure, which, in turn, can result in an explosion of the vessel.

description: Few-shot learning aims to identify unseen classes with limited labelled data. Recent few-shot learning techniques have shown success in generalizing to unseen classes; however, the performance of these techniques has also been shown to degrade when tested on an out-of-domain setting. Previous work, additionally, has also demonstrated increasing reliance on supervised finetuning in an off-line or online capacity. This paper proposes a novel, fully self-supervised few-shot learning technique (FSS) that utilizes a vision transformer and masked autoencoder. The proposed technique can generalize to out-of-domain classes by finetuning the model in a fully self-supervised method for each episode. We evaluate the proposed technique using three datasets (all out-of-domain). As such, our results show that FSS has an accuracy gain of 1.05%, 0.12%, and 1.28% on the ISIC, EuroSat, and BCCD datasets, respectively, without the use of supervised training.

description: The overarching research topic of this dissertation is the management of the costs of new product development projects. New product development (hereinafter NPD) is essential for most companies, as the introduction of innovative products is crucial for their long-term success. Due to the high level of uncertainty that comes with the innovative process of product development, the management of NPD costs is a highly challenging task. We illuminate the field of NPD cost management from two perspectives, which represent our research topics. The first research topic of this thesis is the estimation of NPD costs. NPD costs are costs triggered by the activities that companies pursue to technically develop new products (i.e., labor costs of engineers, project managers, designers, and quality assessors, costs for tools and software required in NPD, costs of material and components required for testing and prototyping, and NPD-related overhead costs). Many authors have presented methods for product cost estimation in general, mostly focusing on overall product costs or direct material costs. Limited research is available about the estimation of the specific cost type of NPD costs. We conduct three studies to contribute to this gap. First, we give an overview of the status quo regarding NPD cost estimation. We do this by conducting a systematic literature review on methods for this purpose. Second, we develop and present the NPD cost benchmarking method. With this method, which is mostly built on external data, we add a new approach to the literature on NPD cost estimation methods. As third study in the context of NPD cost estimation, we present a case study in which we provide detailed, empirical insights on the challenges in NPD cost estimation, and on the application of the NPD cost benchmarking method in particular. The second research topic of this thesis concerns decision-making processes during NPD projects. In this uncertain and dynamic environment, decision-makers often rely on heuristics to choose between alternative options for responding to unpredicted developments during NPD projects (for example, changes in market demands, technical challenges, or new information about competitors). Empirical insights are mostly missing about how such decisions are made. Our fourth study provides insights on the use of heuristics in ongoing NPD project managerial decision-making by conceptualizing and empirically testing the within-project NPD cost compensation heuristic. This dissertation was supervised by Prof. Dr. Marc Wouters from KIT’s chair of Management Accounting at the Institute of Management. It is written in English language and the author aims to obtain the title of Dr. rer. pol.

description: The master curve methodology is a well-known approach utilized to characterize the ductile-to-brittle transition region of ferritic-pearlitic steels. This methodology was initially standardized in ASTM E1921 in 1997 and has undergone continuous evolution and improvement since its origin. However, the validity criterion for the crack aspect ratio (0.45 ≤ a0/W ≤ 0.55) has remained unchanged since its inception. It is worth noting that this criterion was originally established in accordance with standard ASTM E399, which characterizes fracture conditions under linear-elastic plane strain conditions, apparently for historical precedents rather than any scientific rationale. Furthermore, ASTM E1820, which is employed to characterize the fracture behavior of metallic materials in elastic-plastic conditions, permits a maximum crack length-to-width ratio of 0.70. In this context, and considering that ASTM E1921 measures KJc (elastic-plastic) values of the fracture toughness, our research seeks to empirically demonstrate that the crack length-to-width criteria established in ASTM E1921 can be increased up to 0.60, at the very least, without compromising the accuracy of the reference temperature calculations. Such a correction would offer significant advantages, especially when dealing with mini-C(T) specimens. Their tiny dimensions may result in the discarding of numerous specimens that could otherwise be effectively employed for reference temperature calculations.

description: The recently published method of multi-pole system analysis (MPSA) is used to techno-economically compare two wind-energy converters: offshore wind turbines and the energy ship concept. According to the method, both systems are (i) modeled, (ii) energetically and economically analyzed, (iii) techno- economically optimized and, finally, (iv) expected uncertainties are calculated and assessed. The results of the method are used to derive the necessary cost reduction of the wind-energy converters to be economically competitive to fossil-fuel-based technologies.

description: Inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) are a group of conditions whereby parts of the immune system are missing or dysfunctional. Once thought to primarily be a pediatric disorder, it is now estimated that more than 50% of worldwide incident IEI cases are accounted for by adults. Delayed diagnosis, late symptom onset, and IEI phenocopies can all lead to adult-onset recognition of IEIs. Lack of awareness regarding the diversity of IEI manifestations in adults contributes to diagnostic and treatment delays. Prompt referral to immunology is critical so that patients can receive a precise molecular diagnosis and targeted therapy when available. This article serves as a primer on IEIs in adulthood, highlighting the pathophysiology, epidemiology and clinical features. We present clinical vignettes of three key IEIs to assist clinicians in building illness scripts on their presentations. We provide a framework for the laboratory evaluation of IEIs and their initial treatment, with the aim of improving recognition and management of these conditions.

description: Classification approaches that allow to extract logical rules such as decision trees are often considered to be more interpretable than neural networks. Also, logical rules are comparatively easy to verify with any possible input. This is an important part in systems that aim to ensure correct operation of a given model. However, for high-dimensional input data such as images, the individual symbols, i.e. pixels, are not easily interpretable. Therefore, rule-based approaches are not typically used for this kind of high-dimensional data. We introduce the concept of first-order convolutional rules, which are logical rules that can be extracted using a convolutional neural network (CNN), and whose complexity depends on the size of the convolutional filter and not on the dimensionality of the input. Our approach is based on rule extraction from binary neural networks with stochastic local search. We show how to extract rules that are not necessarily short, but characteristic of the input, and easy to visualize. Our experiments show that the proposed approach is able to model the functionality of the neural network while at the same time producing interpretable logical rules. Thus, we demonstrate the potential of rule-based approaches for images which allows to combine advantages of neural networks and rule learning.
title: A Search for Type Ia Supernovae in Globular Clusters

description: In globular clusters the density is such that stellar interactions are commonplace. It is therefore expected that Type Ia supernovae explosions would occur within them at a high
rate, however no Type Ia supernova has ever been observed in a globular cluster to date. We therefore carried out a search of records in the Open Supernova Catalog from the
Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey to compile a list of Type Ia supernovae recorded there, with their respective coordinates, from 08/04/2018 to 20/11/2021. The survey has a limiting latitude value of −27◦, which was in turn set as a limit for the project. A further limiting distance of 125 Mpc was also set, within which HyperLEDA extragalactic database was used to compile a sample of bright galaxies. A check was carried out to ensure both supernovae and galaxies were within the imposed limits with a final 307 supernovae and 56,903 galaxies and, using the Globular Cluster Luminosity Factor (GCLF) methodology from Jord´an et al. (2007), a figure of 31,679 visible globular clusters was estimated. PanSTARRS and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging was used to view the supernova coordinates before and after the supernova event, with an image of the supernova also included from ZTF archives. No definite supernova was seen to occur in a globular cluster, but there were noted instances of correspondence between 3 supernovae and 3 potential Ultra Compact Dwarfs (UCDs) or compact Elliptical galaxies (cEs). The figures found from the project provided a supernova rate for the volume of 1.47 × 10−5 yr−1 Mpc−3 and an upper limit on the globular cluster supernova rate of 2.52 × 10−12 yr−1M−1⊙ . We feel that this is not yet a strong limit due to the small number of globular clusters
surveyed, but are confident that it forms a sound basis for rapid increase in the following years using the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST).
title: Extended Rankine-Betz Theory for Design of Tunnel Ventilation Systems

description: Today, the system design of tunnel ventilation systems including jet fans neglects the stream tube contraction being covered by the Rankine-Betz theory. The presented system design tool extends in a truly physical manner the current method. The influence of the stream tube contraction is discussed and compared to the common but simplified design method by Meidinger dated back to 1964. In addition, the traffic is treated as a peristaltic flow at high Reynolds number and friction losses are modeled with common approaches. The new model allows analysis of several extreme situations, like normal traffic flow, traffic jam and fire in a tunnel. With the help of the new tool, tunnel design parameters (the number of jet fan units and the cross section ratio of jet fans and tunnel) and the operating conditions (velocity ratio of jet fan velocity and tunnel velocity) are predictable.

description: The South East European International Institute for Sustainable Technologies (SEEIIST) was proposed in 2016 at the World Academy of Art and Science, with the objective of building a facility for charged particle cancer therapy for the South Eastern European countries. SEEIIST will offer the world-class research needed to reduce or even revert the brain drain that is causing a shortage of talent and economic losses in South East Europe. There is no particle therapy in South-East Europe in spite of a growing number of cancers being diagnosed. The facility beam time will be shared 50:50 between treating patients and performing research with a wide spectrum of different light ions beyond the presently used protons and carbon ions, which will make the facility unique in the world. SEEIIST Project is presently in a Conceptual to a Design Phase, implemented with the support of the EU and the involvement of CERN and GSI. The next phase of the project realization will include a final technical design for the facility, a structure and a business plan for the organization and the definition of conditions for the site selection.
title: Extended Scaling Method for Nonsimilarity in Reynolds Number, Stagger Angle and Blade Number

Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2022

description: Acceptance tests for large turbomachines are carried out with the help of small-scaled models on standardized test rigs. This non-similarity, e.g. in Reynolds and Mach number between model and prototype causes an efficiency change. Therefore, the prediction of efficiency change is done by scaling methods. Darmstadt Scaling Method is extended to consider different stagger angles and different blade numbers for axial fans. The method is validated with experimental data and shows good agreements in the stagger angle range from -18° to +12° and Reynolds number ranges of Re = 2.2E6 … 6.5E6 for half- and full-equipped rotors with respect to blade number.

description: Fruit wines have gained great interest in recent years due to the increasingly diverse demands of consumers for different fruit wines with different colors, flavors, and nutritional values. Some fruits such as blueberry and strawberry are perishable and have a short shelf life. The production of fruit wine reduces fruit losses after harvest and enhances fruit utilization. The production of fruit wine with premium quality is determined by both intrinsic (i.e., genetic background) and extrinsic factors (e.g., yeast and fermentation protocol). This article provides an updated overview on the strategies and technologies aiming to improve the quality of fruit wines. Recent progress in improving fruit wine quality by variety selection, post-harvest treatments, yeast selection, fermentation protocols, fermentation conditions, and aging technologies has been comprehensively reviewed.
