Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2015

description: Plants of cv. Pinot blanc, grafted on Vitis berlandieri x V. riparia Kober 5 BB, V. berlandieri x V. riparia SO 4, V. berlandieri x V. rupestris 1103 P, were grown in pots at two levels of potassium supply (0 g K2O/pot and 2 g K2O/pot) in order to test the phytoalexin synthesis in the leaves. The experimental plan included also the macronutrient, trace element and chlorophyll contents of the leaves. The most important findings are: a) Resveratrol synthesis decreases from Kober 5 BB to SO 4 and 1103 P, while leaf chlorophyll content increases. b) Resveratrol synthesis is higher in the plants without potassium supply.

description: There is evidence that cooperative learning and discussion of concepts aids students understanding. The ability to verbalise and communicate information effectively in a group situation is also a highly desirable generic skill for graduates entering the workplace. Despite this, traditionally, student discussion skills have been under-utilised in the learning of statistics. In response to this principles of Student Centred Discussion (Wright & Shoop, 2003) were incorporated into an introductory statistics course to explicitly train students in discussion skills. Students practiced these skills in small discussion groups addressing statistical questions during the semester. Student feedback on perceived benefits of the discussion process included greater levels of support from peers, enhanced understanding and clarification of ideas, access to different points of view, an improved willingness to contribute and validation of their progress. In addition, students reflected on their use of discussion skills and reported a greater awareness of skills required for effective discussions.

description: In the resistance breeding programme of our Institute, which was begun after World War II, the French resistant hybrids Seyve Villard and Seibel, both of which resulted from crosses involving American species, were used for resistance sources. In the resistance breeding programme at Kecskemet, the variety Seibel 5279 was used first as a male parent to transfer resistance. From the resulting hybrid families the variety candidates RF 5 (Reflex), RF 16 (Refren) and RF 48 (Reform) were selected because of their valuable characters. Data collected over several years demonstrate the value of these selections from both a breeding and production point of view. This generation represents the first step in the breeding programme and the results encourage us to continue our work.

Grapevine breeding for resistance to powdery mildew: Bioassay system for evaluation of plant resistance and for characterization of different Uncinula necator strains
Creators: name: Kitao, Y.
name: Doazan, J.-P.
Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2015

description: Several isolates of Uncinula necator were separated and kept in vitro. The pathogenicity of these isolates was compared by a bioassay system using small leaves issued from in vitro plants; 2 µl of spore suspension was inoculated on these leaves. Significative differences in sporulation time, aggressiveness, sporulation rate and resistance to fungicide triadimenol were observed between these isolates. Host plant variety also affects some of these characters of pathogenicity. The isolates were classified into 2 mating types concerning the aspect of perithecia formation by paired combination between 2 isolates. Productivity of perithecia varied in response to the combination of isolates and to host plant variety.

description: Resistance to mildew remains very important under Portuguese conditions and induced mutations present a great interest to obtain it. γ -rays irradiation was applied to woody material and X-ray was used on in vitro cultures of stem apexes and leaf explants. After doses up to 2000 rad, two resistant mutants were selected: with γ -rays, the resistance being expressed as surrounding necrotic patches; with X-rays, the plant coming out from in vitro culture presented small necrotic patches. Concerning powdery mildew, we are developing new techniques for laboratorial inoculation, including a technique for sowing isolated spores. By using these, we can conduct studies on morphology and biology of the isolated colony, variability of the resistance within the rids varieties and genetic variability of the parasite. Some results concerning these areas are presented.

description: Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), the world’s largest government-funded health insurance scheme, provides coverage to the bottom 40% of India’s population, including economically and socially disadvantaged groups. The scheme encompasses a network of 29,508 empaneled hospitals, of which 12,534 are private facilities. Ensuring high-quality care in these hospitals is crucial for improving health outcomes among AB PM-JAY beneficiaries. The scientific literature highlights that publicly funded health insurance schemes such as Rashtriya Swasthy Bima Yojana, Vajpayee Arogyashree and Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana showed increased access and utilisation of healthcare services. Despite PM-JAY’s transformative potential, concerns have emerged around the quality of care provided under the scheme, leading to issues like denial of services, delayed treatment, out-of-pocket expenditures (OOPE), and inequities in service delivery . The scoping review will aim to synthesize the evidence for evaluating the strengths, limitations and challenges faced by the tertiary healthcare facilities in providing care to patients covered under PMJAY. The review will also identify the underlying causes, including the systemic and institutional gaps in providing quality of care to the PMJAY beneficiaries. This will also highlight the effective practices, as well which shall serve as model for replication. The insights from review shall facilitate in preparing evidence-based strategies for enhancing service delivery and quality of care. This review will serve as a roadmap for the policy makers and healthcare providers to address limitations and challenges while leveraging upon the strengths to ensure equity and high quality care to PMJAY beneficiaries.

description: Crossbreeding between Vitis vinifera and hybrids resistant to some grapevine diseases began in 1985 in order to create biotypes which are tolerant or resistant to Plasmopara viticola. Oidium tuckeri and Botrytis cinerea and show quality features similar as the European parent varieties (Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, Prosecco, Moscato bianco and Cabernet Sauvignon) in order to reduce chemical plant protection practices. Analysis of the F1 population emphasized that 20% of the plants have a favourable tolerance to downy mildew and can be employed in back-crossbreeding with European varieties. This proves that there is a different intensity of leaf reaction to the pathogenic agent. The above-mentioned tolerance appeared to be steady throughout the years. An interesting tolerance to oidium was also recorded in open field and greenhouse cultivations.

Vitis caribaea as a source of resistance to Pierce's disease in breeding grapes for the tropics
Creators: name: Jiménez A., L. G.
name: Ingalls, A.
Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2015

description: A native Costarican vine, Vitis caribaea, was found growing unaffected by Pierce's disease (PD; Xylella fastidiosa) in the forests surrounding a dying V. vinifera plantation. V. caribaea was tested by inoculation, isolation, ELISA and DNA hybridization and in all cases no bacteria were detected. It was decided that V. caribaea or Agrá (its Indian name) is resistant or at least highly tolerant to PD. Crosses of V. vinifera and V. caribaea were made and no compatibility barriers were found, germination of the hybrids seeds was high and a high percentage of fertile plants were produced. Many hybrids were made and planted in the field to test them for resistance to PD. Since some of the F1 hybrids do transmit resistance when backcrossed to V. vinifera, resistance must be determined by dominant genes. Some F1 hybrids, although apparently resistant themselves, are either not transmitting resistance or are doing so in a reduced proportion. Several hybrids developed at the University of Florida were tested, one of these, F 5-8, has led to the establishment of the first successful vineyard in Costa Rica.

description: By breeding for resistance to Pierce's disease in Vitis we have obtained useful cultivars that can be grown productively in areas formerly considered unsuitable for grape production. Reviewing the most successful recombinants from crosses made between 1945 and 1984, 6 Vitis clones were prominent foundation parents among those tested as primitive resistant germplasm: V. aestivalis, ssp. smalliana cvs Fla. 43-47 and Fla. 449, V. aestivalis ssp. simpsoni cvs Pixiola and Fla. 451, and V. shuttleworthii cvs Haines City and Kissimmee. The best combiners for productivity, fruit size, and high quality were PD susceptible cultivars Aurelia, Carolina Blackrose, Cardinal, Exotic, Golden Muscat, and Villard blanc. The best combiners for seedlessness and early ripening were susceptible cultivars Lakemont and Perlette. Selection for resistance to PD required 7 or more years each generation for exposure of seedlings to PD-carrying vectors. Inbreeding was detrimental to vine vigor but good combiners were selected among inbred progeny which were more homozygous for disease resistance. Subsequent crosses of these inbreds to large-fruited, high-quality cultivars resulted in some recombinants with restored vigor and superior traits such as Blanc Du Bois.

This is Australia: the panoramic narrative, graphic design and spatial consciousness

description: We encounter 'This is Australia' stories everyday, in tourist advertisements and brochures, in celebrations of nationhood like the opening of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, in promotional posters and those glossy photographic books that are so often titled 'Australia'. The key trope of these depictions of nationhood is the use of the panoramic narrative and the language of stereotypes to construct an all-encompassing vision of an instantly recognisable and reassuringly familiar Australia. Inherently commercial and propagandistic they give visual form to the popular imagination of what it means to be Australian and playa central role in shaping what Meaghan Morris terms, the 'national image-space'. This imagespace being the public zone in which popular histories, aesthetic symbols, ideas and myths circulate and endure through the agency of design, giving visible form to the imagined community that binds people and place into a nation.

“Call Me in the Dorm”. Mobile Communication and the Shifting Topographies of Intimate Relationships in Bangladesh
Creators: name: Sterly, Harald
name: Gerads, Daniel
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2018

description: In Bangladesh, as in many other national and cultural settings, intimate relations and intimacy between married and especially non-married couples are restricted by strong socio-cultural norms. These restrictions vary across different places, and thus distinct topographies of intimacy can be discerned. Mobile communication is currently challenging such topographies by enabling interaction and “virtual intimacy” across physical barriers and over spatial distances, or by helping to conceal relationships and interactions. This study examines these spatial shifts with three examples. First, the maintenance of long-distance relationships for rural-to-urban labour migrants; second, the establishing and conducting of relationships through phone calls, sometimes with random partners and over arbitrary distances; and third, the way in which students make use of the mobile phone in order to circumvent the strict gender separation between dormitories.

description: Every area of the earth's surface expresses some degree of spatial variations and understanding and delineating it could be a starting point for different levels of environmental investigations or model/result transfers. Inspired by the European Landscape Character Assessment (LCA), this dashboard presents a FAIRly Open interactive visualization of the LCA of Nigeria, leveraging machine learning and geospatial techniques to analyze and reveal spatial patterns across the country. The dashboard offers users a comprehensive view of the data through multiple layers of geospatial results, each representing different findings from the analyses. Users can explore and filter the data (interactively) to uncover deeper insights and patterns specific to Nigeria's various regions and landscape types. The Map layer feature included in the dashboard allows easy navigation between different analytical outputs, such as climate, altitude, land cover, and other landscape structure metrics that were assessed. Thus, this dashboard is expected to facilitate a deeper insight into the diverse landscape characteristics in the country, beyond its politico-administrative boundaries. As such, it is an actionable tool designed for researchers, policymakers, and environmental managers interested in visualizing and interpreting the spatial landscape characteristics of Nigeria, or other parts of the world where such is non-existent.

Further details of the Dashboard (Tableau workbook package), including the methodology, dataset and codes, are available in the project’s Open Science Framework (OSF) entry, and the corresponding GitHub repository is stated in this submission.

Tracing Change: On the Positionality of Traditionally Mobile Groups in Kabul’s Camps
Creators: name: Mielke, Katja
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2018

description: This article explores the positionalities of two traditionally mobile groups of people in Afghanistan, former pastoralists and peripatetics, who are currently living in several urban camps in Kabul. Starting from the assumption of their immobilization inbetween places, the research shows their current self-positioning in the process of seeking belonging can be traced in locality-generating practices. At the same time, both groups are subject to context-producing effects through external events and forces linked not only to government (non-)policies but also to the global war on terror and exposure to neoliberal capitalism. The incapacity of the state to meet camp dwellers’ expectations to provide shelter and income opportunities exacerbates their social immobility, which is both a cause for and effect of forced spatial immobilization. In light of the tension between efforts to belong and the increasing cementation of the status quo, the locality-generating practices of camp residents in Kabul reveal ambivalence.

How Do Smallholders Cope with Food Price Changes? Insights from a Qualitative Case Study in North-Western Bangladesh
Creators: name: Molitor, Katharina
name: Braun, Boris
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2018

description: Small-scale producers of agricultural goods are becoming more and more involved in global commodity chains. Increasing and more volatile food prices are major challenges for smallholders who play a key role in achieving food security in many countries of the Global South but at the same time suffer from food insecurity themselves. Paradoxically, small-scale producers cannot fully benefit from increasing food prices as the global food price crisis 2007/08 showed. This paper aims to provide some initial insights into smallholder households’ decision-making in their dual role as consumers and producers of food in the light of food price changes and changing market conditions. It presents the empirical results of twelve Focus Group Discussions with smallholder farmers in four villages around Rajshahi City in North-Western Bangladesh, and the findings of additional expert interviews.

Resistance to transmission of grapevine fanleaf virus by Xiphinema index in some Vitis species and hybrids
Creators: name: Staudt, G.

Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2015

description: Many vineyards in Germany are infested by nematodes which can transmit virus diseases. Breeding of rootstocks resistant to nematode feeding and virus transmission is an important way to control these virus diseases. A method has been developed for testing breeding stocks for these characteristics with regard to grapevine fanleaf virus (GFV) and its vector Xiphinema index. The plants to be tested were first grown together in a single pot with both GFV-infected plants of Vitis cv. Siegfried and plants of the same cultivar which were virus negative according to an ELISA test: 2 months after planting, the pots were inoculated with about 50 nematodes. In a second experiment, single healthy plants of different hybrids and species were potted and inoculated with about 200 nematodes carrying GFV. After 3-10 months, roots were inspected visually for swellings and galls and tested for the presence of GFV by ELISA. In all cases, the previously healthy cv. Siegfried showed symptoms of feeding on the roots and these roots showed a positive reaction to the ELISA test. After 6 months, GFV could also be detected by ELISA in the basal parts of the stems. The reaction of the test plants was dependent on their genotype. A high susceptibility to feeding by the nematodes and high percentage of transmission to GFV was displayed by American species and interspecific hybrid rootstocks. One of the V. vinifera x V. rotundifolia hybrids showed no visual symptoms of nematode feeding and no virus transmission 9 months after inoculation.

Transnational Networks and Practices of Overseas Indians in Germany
Creators: name: Butsch, Carsten
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2018

description: The number of non-resident Indians and People of Indian Origin living in Germany has doubled in the last 15 years. Against this background, the paper looks at the multiple cross-border linkages maintained by Indian migrants in Germany. The paper first portrays the development of Indo-German migration since 1950. The main section then describes what linkages are developed by Indian migrants living in Germany between their places of residence and their places of origin. Applying a transnational perspective, the paper portrays how Indian migrants are embedded in different transnational networks. Based on in-depth interviews typical practices are described and changes of these practices during the life course are discussed. Differences in the transnational practices of the first and of the second generation are also addressed. The findings show that all respondents actively link the places where they live with their places of origin and induce changes both “here” and “there”.

Linking Migration and Adaptation to Climate Change. How Stakeholder Perceptions Influence Adaptation Processes in Pakistan
Creators: name: Bott, Lisa-Michèle
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2018

description: In many countries of the Global South, climate-induced migration is still stigmatised as a failure to adapt. However, comprehensive adaptation requires open approaches that include migration as part of the solution. Stakeholders from governments and NGOs play a central role in shaping actions for adaptation. Using Pakistan as a case study, this paper analyses how stakeholders perceive the nexus between environmental risks and migration, and how these perceptions influence adaptation outcomes. Pakistan is expected to be strongly affected by future climate change. Repeated natural hazards are threatening the highly vulnerable population. Results from qualitative expert and stakeholder interviews reveal that climate change has a low priority in Pakistan. Other problems such as violent conflicts and hunger are perceived as more urgent. Internal migration is generally perceived as negative. An open approach that recognises how migration holds both challenges and opportunities in dealing with climate change is largely unknown. These perceptions are reflected in national policies. Both climate change and migration are still addressed separately, and comprehensive plans are lacking. Thus, the results show that negative views about migration hamper regional climate adaptation processes.

description: Since the 1990s, “space”, “place”, “spatiality” and “geographies” have become key categories in social sciences. While disciplines like sociology, economics, social anthropology, history or political science have ignored such categories for a long time, the multiple globalization processes and their implications for societies worldwide after the fall of the Iron Curtain have led to a vigorous debate on spatial notions and their manifold meanings across disciplines. This re-discovery has been apostrophized as the “spatial turn” of social sciences and the humanities. For geography, this shift in perspective had at least two implications: First, it led to a much more pronounced discussion among geographers on what is actually meant by the notion of space. While geography has always understood itself as chorological science, there was surprisingly little controversy about the meaning of the key term of the discipline until the end of World War II.

Simultaneous single-pulse observations of radio pulsars V: on the broadband nature of the pulse nulling phenomenon in PSR B1133+16

description: In this paper we revisit the well-known phenomenon of pulse nulling using high-quality single-pulse data of PSR B1133+16 from simultaneous multifrequency observations. Observations were made at 325, 610, 1400 and 4850 MHz as part of a joint program between the European Pulsar Network (EPN) and the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). The pulse energy time series are analysed to derive improved statistics of nulling pulses as well as to investigate the frequency dependence of the phenomenon. The pulsar is observed to be in null state for approximately 15% of the time; however, we find that nulling does not always occur simultaneously at all four frequencies of observation. We characterise the statistics of such 'selective nulling' as a function of frequency, separation in frequency, and combination of frequencies. The most remarkable case of such selective nulling seen in our data is a significantly large number of nulls (≈6%) at lower frequencies, that are marked by the presence of a fairly narrow emission feature at the highest frequency of 4850 MHz. We refer to these as 'low frequency (LF) nulls'. We characterise the properties of high frequency (HF) emission at the occurrence of LF nulls, and compare and contrast them with that of 'normal emission' at 4850 MHz. Our analysis shows that this high frequency emission tends to occur preferentially over a narrow range in longitude and with pulse widths typically of the order of a few milliseconds. We discuss the implications of our results for the pulsar emission mechanism in general and for the broadbandness of nulling phenomenon in particular. Our results signify the presence of an additional process of emission which does not turn off when the pulsar nulls at low frequencies, and becomes more prominent at higher frequencies. Our analysis also hints at a possible outer gap origin for this new population of pulses, and thus a likely connection to some high-energy emission processes that occur in the outer parts of the pulsar magnetosphere.

description: Component-Based Development (CBD) is established in many application domains. There is a strong trend in applying the same approach in different domains of dependable systems. However, a precondition of a successful use of CBD in these domains is the utilization of theories, methods and technologies to predict and evaluate dependability attributes. This tutorial gives an analysis of current methodologies of attribute-specific evaluation methods for dependable component-based systems. We identify limitations of the current technologies, discusses existing and possible new solutions to overcome these limitations both from a researchoriented and practical perspective.

Market failure or state failure: a re-assessment of the case for SME policy
Creators: name: Johnson, Steve
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Researchers, policy makers, support agencies and SME groups have a tendency to assume that there exists a strong case for the provision of government support for the SME sector. Most policy debates revolve around how to promote and/or support SMEs, rather than whether to provide such support as opposed to spending public resources elsewhere. This paper is intended to remind all groups concerned with SMEs that there is a need to constantly revisit and refresh the fundamental arguments for SME policies Prompted by the challenge laid down by Graham Bannock (see quote above), a leading commentator on SME policy issues and a successful entrepreneur in his own right, the paper will assess critically the arguments for the provision of government support for SMEs, with a primary focus upon the 'market failure' approach which dominates the thinking of many governments. The aims are to outline a theoretical framework within which SME policy can be understood, analysed and evaluated, and to examine the extent to which policies on selected issues can be justified on the grounds of 'market failure'. The paper will build on previous work by the author and others on the justifications for SME policy and the evaluation of policy interventions to support SMEs.

description: Unhealthy behavior can be extremely costly from a micro- and macroeconomic perspective and exploring the determinants of such behavior is highly important from an economist’s point of view. We examine whether locus of control (LOC) can explain alcohol consumption as an important domain of health behavior. LOC measures how much an individual believes that she is in control of the consequences of her own actions for her life’s future outcomes. While earlier literature showed that an increasing internal LOC is associated with increased health-conscious behavior in domains such as smoking, exercise or diets, we find that drinking seems to be different. Using German panel data from the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) we find a significant positive effect of having an internal LOC on the probability of moderate and regular drinking. We suggest and discuss two likely mechanisms for this relationship and find interesting gender differences. While social investments play an important role for both men and women, risk perceptions are especially relevant for men.

Practical uses of nanotechnology to accelerate design innovation
Creators: name: Anderson, Lyndon
name: Jones, Cameron
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Nanotechnology promises a natural method to accelerate the complex task of innovation for many design problems by exploiting self-assembly and quantum processing at extreme scales of miniaturization. With this objective, a range of hybrid computer devices that use biological cells or chemical thin-films have been built to take advantage of nanoscale information processing. These devices are termed molecular computers and function by manipulating input sets of digital schematics or images stored to Compact Disc optical media. Light transmission through cells or chemical thin-films is a highly nonlinear phenomenon, and causes digital information to replicate with itself. This means that well-defined input sets evolve into entirely new sets through mutation, crossover and natural selection at the atomic level. Each nanocomputer (whether constructed with biological cells or chemical thin-films) is therefore a computationally intensive, yet high-speed, controlled chaotic feedback system, used to deconstruct, then reconstruct form. Methods for generic device construction have been previously reported, so here we focus on the implementation details for approximating several simple design models; before moving on to demonstrate the method against three-dimensional forms such as furniture. Several questions underpinning the formal nature of the design process have been identified in these experiments. For example, what would happen if a designer could access a near-infinite number of different design variations? How does the designer make choices under these conditions? Are pragmatic attributes of concept development such as ergonomic considerations, manufacturing capabilities and material selection marginalized? If so, how does a designer usefully employ this process?
Re-Scaling Nationhood and the European Union in France and Germany
Creators: name: Wiesner, Claudia
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: European integration is a regional integration process that has united formerly independent nation states into a federation-like polity. Accordingly, EU integration and its evolving supranational structures have challenged the conceptions of nationhood in most EU member states, as they have directly touched upon some of its classic markers, such as sovereignty and territory. In terms of the “scaling” approach, the integration processes have led to a re-scaling of the concept of nation in individual member states. From the beginning of integration, the changes brought about by EU integration have been argued for, defended or criticised by national politicians. Elite discourses and their ways of referring to the EU and nation state have led to the development of different national EU conceptions. This article examines how the ideas and markers of nationhood have been re-scaled in the national EU conceptions of two large founding states, i.e. Germany and France. A particular focus is placed on the constructions of “Us” and “Them” as classic markers of nationhood, and the ways in which these have been used and challenged in crucial phases of integration, namely the pre-ratification discourses of the Maastricht and the Constitutional Treaty.

Between Sart, Kalmak and Kyrgyz Identity Dynamics in Kyrgyzstan
Creators: name: Alymbaeva, Aida Aaly
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: This article analyses the internal dynamics of identity in one particular settlement which is scrutinised with regard to the nation-building efforts of the Kyrgyz state. The inhabitants have a number of choices from ethnic concepts for their identification processes, depending on their actual situatedness. Jan Blommaert’s approach focusing on “loaded words” and “intertextual asymmetries” has been used as a practical tool to organize the ethnography and to analyse conversations. The article shows how ethnic categories have been understood and used by villagers in everyday life, i.e. on the micro-scale, and how this understanding and usage has been shaped by the macro-scale (Kyrgyzstan). It also shows how identity discourses on the micro-scale may reflect cultural and ethnic notions of larger entities such as nation-states.

Re-inventing Hawaiian Identity Conception of Ethnicity and Language in the Language Revitalisation Movement
Creators: name: Ohara, Yumiko
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: An indigenous language revitalisation movement is conspicuously one of the most overtly contested sites of cultural identities and language ideologies. In the Hawaiian language revitalisation processes, for instance, “Hawaiianness” is a main theme that is frequently left open to negotiation through discursive and other means. In this article, the focus will be placed on the cultural politics of identity that capture the fluid nature of race and ethnicity while emphasising the strategic ways language revitalisation activists manipulate the processes of constructing identities as a Hawaiian and a Hawaiian language speaker. Inevitably, the notion of Hawaiian language plays a central role during this process and the concept of scale and scale interpretation brings insight into this seemingly complex phenomenon. Based on linguistic data gathered at various revitalisation sites, the author carves out competing conceptions of Hawaiianness, Hawaiian language, and the relationship between ideologies of the Hawaiian language and construction of Hawaiian identities.

Evaluating the suitability of Li8PbO6 as a tritium breeding material using first-principles simulations
Creators: name: Davies, Andrew
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2024

description: A desire to move away from ceramic breeder materials that display a
 dependence on the use of a beryllium multiplier, has seen octalithium
 compounds and particularly,
 Li8PbO6, being considered
 for application in a future fusion reactor. Although, there is little
 understanding of many of the basic properties of the material, importantly
 how it might behave as a tritium breeding material.

 By virtue of proximity to the fusion plasma, the extreme operating
 environment

 the breeding material will be subject to inherently gives rise to a
 significant

 population of defects throughout the operational lifetime. This has
 implications

 for the not only the macroscopic physical properties of the material, but
 also the

 mechanisms for tritium accommodation and release.

 Modern first-principles simulations such as Density Functional Theory are
 widely

 used to study the fundamental properties of crystalline materials,
 including the

 behaviour of both intrinsic and extrinsic point defects. In this thesis,
 DFT

 is used to assess the feasibility of
 Li8PbO6 as a breeder
 material and aims

 to provide a comprehensive understanding of the underlying defect
 chemistry

 and the mechanisms for tritium release. But also, when combined with
 simple

 thermodynamics, how the defect population controls the underlying
 stoichiometry, and how ultimately, the burn-up of lithium may result in
 the stability of octalithium phase being lost.

 It is shown that the defect chemistry, given the intrinsically high
 concentration of

 lithium in Li8PbO6, is
 largely dominated by lithium vacancy defects (namely VLi

 −1), regardless of the operating conditions
 considered.

 It is expected Li8PbO6 when
 accounting for point defect populations will

 only be stable under Li-rich stoichiometries and may begin to undergo a
 phase

 transformation into Li4PbO4 as lithium is depleted throughout the
 operational

 lifetime.

 Migration barriers for tritium diffusion as an interstitial and bound to a
 lithium

 vacancy were found to be comparatively low compared to other lithium
 ceramics.

 The low migration barriers for the defect complex in particular suggest
 the lithium vacancy performs a collaborative role in assisting tritium
 escape from the bulk crystal, which suggests aging of the blanket will be
 of low significance in comparison with other leading candidate ceramics.

 The works presented in this thesis provide a baseline theoretical
 understanding

 of the potential performance of
 Li8PbO6 to operate as a
 breeding material. It is

 hoped the works presented can be experimentally validated, and more
 importantly to serve as encouragement for others to explore the viability
 of other, previously dismissed materials.
