description: Improved indoor air quality (IAQ) is one of the critical components of green building design. Green building tax credit (e.g., New York State Green Building Tax Credit (GBTC)) and certification programs (e.g., Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED)) require indoor air quality measures and compliance with allowable maximum concentrations of common indoor air pollutants. It is not yet entirely clear whether compliance with these programs results in improved IAQ and ultimately human health. As a case in point, annual indoor air quality measurements were conducted in a residential green high-rise building for five consecutive years by an industrial hygiene contractor to comply with the building's GBTC requirements. The implementation of green design measures resulted in better IAQ compared to data in references of conventional homes for some parameters, but could not be confirmed for others. Relative humidity and carbon dioxide were satisfactory according to existing standards. Formaldehyde levels during four out of five years were below the most recent proposed exposure limits found in the literature. To some degree, particulate matter (PM) levels were lower than that in studies from conventional residential buildings. Concentrations of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) with known permissible exposure limits were below levels known to cause chronic health effects, but their concentrations were inconclusive regarding cancer health effects due to relatively high detection limits. Although measured indoor air parameters met all IAQ maximum allowable concentrations in GBTC and applicable LEED requirements at the time of sampling, we argue that these measurements were not sufficient to assess IAQ comprehensively because more sensitive sampling/analytical methods for PM and VOCs are needed; in addition, there is a need for a formal process to ensure rigor and adequacy of sampling and analysis methods. Also, we suggest that a comprehensive IAQ assessment should include mixed mode thermal comfort models, semi-volatile organic compounds, assessment of new chemicals, and permissible exposure levels of many known indoor VOCs and bioaerosols. Plus, the relationship between energy consumption and IAQ, and tenant education on health effects of indoor pollutants and their sources may need more attention in IAQ investigations in green buildings.

description: Many air toxicants, and especially aldehydes, are generated by moxibustion, which means burning Artemisia argyi. Our goal was to investigate indoor-air aldehyde emissions in Chinese medicine clinics (CMCs) during moxibustion to further evaluate the potential health risks, including cancer risk and non-cancer risk, to the medical staff and adult patients. First, the indoor-air-quality in 60 public sites, including 15 CMCs, was investigated. Four CMCs with frequent use of moxibustion were selected from the 15 CMCs to gather the indoor airborne aldehydes in the waiting and therapy rooms. The mean values of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in the CMCs’ indoor air were 654 and 4230 μg m−3, respectively, in the therapy rooms, and 155 and 850 μg m−3, respectively, in the waiting rooms. The average lifetime cancer risks (Rs) and non-cancer risks (hazard quotients: HQs) of airborne formaldehyde and acetaldehyde among the CMC medical staff exceeded the acceptable criteria (R < 1.00 × 10−3 and HQ < 1.00) for occupational workers. The patients’ Rs and HQs were also slightly higher than the critical values (R = 1.00 × 10−6 and HQ = 1.00). Our results indicate that airborne aldehydes pose a significant threat to the health of medical staff, and slightly affected the patients’ health, during moxibustion in the CMCs.

description: The photolytic degradation of the non-degradable pharmaceuticals sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and trimethoprim (TMP) in an aqueous solution was investigated using three kinds of low-pressure mercury lamp UV-A (352 nm), UV-C (254 nm), and vacuum-UV (VUV, 185 nm and 254 nm). The degradation rates were highly dependent on the target compounds as well as the UV sources. No degradation of the target compounds was observed using UV-A treatment, because there was no overlap between the UV-A emission spectrum and absorption spectrum of the target compounds. On the other hand, UVC and VUV revealed higher reactivity. The results also indicated that SMX had a greater potential to react photochemically than TMP. Among the UV sources, VUV was the most effective process for the degradation of target compounds. Furthermore, the addition of oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and sodium persulfate (Na2S2O8) to the reaction system improved the overall degradation rate significantly.The experimental results for the VUV-irradiated samples with the addition of methanol as a hydroxyl radical scavenger revealed that hydroxyl radicals contribute significantly to the elimination of the target compound. Overall, the degradation rate of the target compounds was in the order: VUV = UV-C > UV-A for sulfamethoxazole and VUV/H2O2 > VUV/ Na2S2O8 > VUV >UV-C >UV-A for trimethoprim.

description: Mathematical modelling has been widely applied to membrane bioreactor (MBRs) processes. However, to date, very few studies have reported on the application of the anaerobic digestion model N.1 (ADM1) to anaerobic membrane processes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability of the ADM1 to a submerged anaerobic MBR (SAMBR) treating simulated industrial wastewater composed of cheese whey and sucrose. This study demonstrated that the biological processes involved in SAMBRs can be modelled by using the ADM1. Moreover, the results showed that very few modifications of the parameters describing the ADM1 were required to reasonably fit the experimental data. In particular, adaptation to the specific conditions of the coefficients describing the wastewater characterisation and the reduction of the hydrolysis rate of particulate carbohydrate (khyd,ch) from 0.25 d-1 (as suggested by the ADM1 for high-rate mesophilic reactors) to 0.13 d-1 were required to fit the experimental data.

description: Electrochemical oxidation of methyl orange (Sodium 4-[(4-dimethylamino) phenyldiazenyl] benzenesulfonate) with lead dioxide coated on mild steel was modelled using response surface methodology (RSM) to analyze the influence of pH, NaCl dose and current on color and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal. Higher current, acidic pH and 0.8–1.2 g L−1 NaCl dose had an enhancing effect on the removal efficiencies. Interaction effect of the variables highlights the action of •OH and HOCl in the oxidation of methyl orange, where HOCl has effect at lower current range. More than 90% COD removal efficiency and ∼100% color removal efficiency was obtained in 5 h at optimum conditions for an initial concentration of 50 mg L−1. High performance liquid chromatography–mass spectroscopy (HPLC-MS) analysis carried out to identify degradation intermediates revealed the absence of chlorinated intermediates, which was further verified with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The postulated pathway of degradation indicated breakdown through dealkylation, deamination, desulfonation and cleavage of an azo bond and benzene ring. The degradation of methyl orange to smaller compounds was also confirmed by Ion Chromatography (IC). Cytotoxicity analysis on HaCaT cells revealed the intermediates to be more cytotoxic than the dye, possibly due to the aromatic amines and diazines formed during the degradation process.

Basket weaving is practiced by the Yolmo of the Lamjung district. Bi Jingying created this book for a student project at NTU in 2014 using images and recordings of Dali Maya Lama talking about and making baskets. We decided to leave the text exactly how Dali Maya spoke, allowing the images to explain in more detail. This makes the text useful for Yolmo people learning to read their own language.
Jingying was a math student, and this was her first professional scale painting project. She wanted to complete a project that allowed her to learn about another culture while creating a useful product.

description: The main purpose of the study is to build a model for thermoeconomic analysis of the system under investigation, which is a parabolic dish concentrator coupled with a microturbine. The aims of the analysis can be divided in two categories: the first objective is to create a thermodynamic model to define the matching between the components of the system, to calculate off-design performances and annual energy production; the second task is to determine the optimum size of the system that minimize specific cost and cost of energy (LCOE). The simulation is developed for the location of Seville, for four systems with similar size, in solar only and hybrid configurations with three different strategies of operation. In the economic simulation, cost functions for components, auxiliaries and indirect costs have been taken into account, under several scenarios. The simulated system ends up at solar-to-electric efficiency between 16,78% and 18,35% depending on the size, at design point. Annual performances report a capacity factor of about 27% (2300 working hours) in solar only operation and annual average efficiency only 6% below the nominal efficiency. Specific cost and LCOE varies a lot among scenario conditions, mainly influenced by the level of production of the components. Considering results for Seville, system specific cost varies between 2170 €/kW and 6590 €/kW, while LCOE is in the interval 16,8 €c/kWh – 44,5 €c/kWh. Extrapolating results valid for locations with more irradiation (California), costs move down to values as low as 1690 €/kW and 13,2 €c/kWh.

title: Caring infrastructures: transforming the arts through feminist curating with care
Creators: name: Bailer, Sascia
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2024

description: This dissertation addresses the contradiction in the arts whereby care is a recurring 
theme of exhibition and event series (the “caring turn”) yet uncaring conditions for art 
workers and audiences persist, taking the form of precarious labour conditions and 
inadequate support for cultural practitioners with caregiving responsibilities. 
Featuring a Marxist-feminist analysis of domestic and care work from medieval times 
until today, the study illustrates how today’s visual art sector particularly excludes 
cultural practitioners who are carers. 
Expanding from the author’s participatory curatorial practice on care as artistic 
director 2019–20 at M.1 Arthur Boskamp-Stiftung in Hohenlockstedt, Germany, the 
dissertation establishes curating – with its etymological origin in the Latin curare (“to 
take care”) – as a radically relational, infrastructural practice of care in search of a 
counter-hegemonic otherwise. It proposes understanding care as a curatorial 
method for constructing “caring infrastructures” within the arts. Caring infrastructures 
emerge from a methodological sequence revolving around the building of support 
structures that respond to the caring needs and capacities of artists, collaborators, 
audiences, and team members and that foster the conditions for their presence. This 
transformative approach identifies eight key building blocks for curatorial practice 
(e.g., communication, budgets, power) and illustrates how to alter them according to 
feminist care ethics (Joan Tronto). When taken together, they act as caring 
infrastructures. The study further explores the limits of curatorial care due to group 
conflicts, solitary struggles, and systemic contradictions within capitalism, curating, 
and care. It suggests transferring Chantal Mouffe’s notion of “acting in concert” from 
activism to the arts, with various artistic and curatorial initiatives coming together in a 
counter-hegemonic effort of “caring in concert.”
Incorporating autotheory and feminist research methods (Jane Gallop, Jane 
Tompkins, Lauren Fournier, Sara Ahmed), the dissertation aims to amplify 
marginalised voices, especially those of women and queer and racialised people. 
The research adopts a “polydisciplinamorous” approach (Natalie Loveless), 
prioritising affective attachments (Audre Lorde) over traditional disciplinary 
boundaries and blurring the lines between theory and practice in a process of 
“makingthinking” (Loveless).

Essays on Labor Economics: The Employment Effect of Minimum Wages

Subjects: Economics

description: In chapter 1, we present a literature review on all the methods used to analyze the employment effect of minimum wage and on the results of different studies.Additionally, we categorize the studies by the structure of the data and we further present our comments on the methods used to examine the relationship between minimum wages and employment. Chapter 2 is based on panel data techniques in order to estimate the impact of minimum wage on employment levels of different age groups and, in addition to this, we study the effect by gender. Furthermore, we estimate the employment effect of minimum wage systems and labor market policies and institutions on these different age groups. The panel of 17 OECD countries from 1985 to 2008 allowed us to differentiate the effect of minimum wages on employment and labor force participation rate for young, prime-aged and older people. In chapter 3, we investigate how the economic crisis affects the impact of minimum wage on employment levels of different age groups. There is only one study that deals with this important issue with cross-country data, conducted by Dolton and Bondibene (2012), and the first half of this chapter presents our results during periods of economic downturn and growth. In our analysis, we employ six different business circle indicators which are used in the literature and our initial results of chapter 2 hold. Moreover, in the second half of chapter 3, we examine the effect of minimum wage on average wage using a panel data set comprising 22 OECD countries for the period 1990-2013. Once again, our data allowed us to account for differences in minimum wage effects on average wage in periods of economic downturn as well as in periods of economic growth and, in addition, we deal with the sensitivity of the estimates to the minimum wage systems, the role of the wage setting/bargaining institutions and the sensitivity of the minimum wage effects to other elements that have an impact on average wage. In chapter 4, we conduct a meta-analysis on the employment effect of minimum wages. We apply many strict filters in order to keep the meta-sample homogenous and our final sample provided 1.521 elasticities and consisted of 77 international studies conducted since 1992, when the studies by Card (1992a) and Katz and Krueger (1992), who found insignificant and slightly positive employment effects of minimum wages, respectively, came to create a controversy among economists. Moreover, we employ 28 moderators as potential explanatory variables of the heterogeneity among studies and we examine the presence of publication bias, the effect of minimum wages on employment and the factors that diversify the impact across studies.
Lines (or against fixation)

description: Lines (or against fixation), 2023 was produced as an element of the PhD research project, Against Fixation – The Ambivalence of the Drawn Line in Contemporary Art Practice. The project proposes that although drawn lines are considered a fundamental technology in the visualisation of knowledge, an underlying ambivalence lies at their core. The project explores their use in contemporary art, focusing on their natural capacity to disorganise and resist rigid forms of fixation and centralise ambivalence as a potent strategy in material practice.Referencing the work of George Condo and Guy de Cointet, the theoretical component gives attention to the drawn line’s ability and inability to capture meaning and practices that reveal its elasticity. Inclinations explored through the theoretical positions of Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. Exploring drawing’s ontological and epistemological limits, drawn lines are characterised as undecidable, shifting entities that have the potential to engage with and trouble the construction of subjects, objects feelings and philosophical positions.The exhibition brought together elements of the bodies of work, Habitual Despair, You Architecture and the cinematic drawing The Line, representing an assembly of some of the more important works produced over the last four years. Focused primarily on simple line drawings, these bodies of work, tested for me the ability of the artwork to negotiate the production of meaning, whether this was through depictions of the body or other objects, the process of drawing itself or exploring the ambivalence of the drawn line and its ability to capture complex and contradictory states of being.

description: Green spaces such as public parks and intimate gardens have been associated for more than a century with pleasures, providing a green oasis in the city. Making green spaces accessible to as many people as possible is now mainstream thinking in design and management. Efforts are now often channeled more into providing green spaces, which are accessible to everyone who wishes to use them. The basic idea of green spaces must be accessible, user friendly, safe, offer both comfort and maximum enjoyment. This research is dedicated specially for the visually impaired people. The purpose of this paper is to investigate and identify the characteristics in creating intimate green spaces for the disabled to enjoy. The end product of this research is intended to provide information on different type of aromatic plants, highlighting their medicinal value and use in designs for the visually impaired people.

description: Background Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) exhibits unique characteristics as an intracellular human pathogen. It causes both acute and chronic infection with various disease manifestations in the human host only. The principal factors underlying the unique lifestyle of motility and biofilm forming ability of S. Typhi remain largely unknown. The main objective of this study was to explore and investigate the motility and biofilm forming behaviour among S. Typhi strains of diverse background. Results Swim and swarm motility tests were performed with 0.25% and 0.5% agar concentration, respectively; while biofilm formation was determined by growing the bacterial cultures for 48 hrs in 96-well microtitre plate. While all S. Typhi strains demonstrated swarming motility with smooth featureless morphology, 58 out of 60 strains demonstrated swimming motility with featureless or bull’s eye morphology. Interestingly, S. Typhi strains of blood-borne origin exhibited significantly higher swimming motility (P Conclusion In summary, both swimming and swarming motility are conserved among S. Typhi strains but there was variation for biofilm forming ability. There was no difference observed in this phenotype for S. Typhi strains from diverse background. These findings serve as caveats for future studies to understand the lifestyle and transmission of this pathogen.

description: Objective: There were 454 motorcycle crashes in work zones within the state of Ohio between January 2006 and July 2012. Pavement degradation derived from work zones tend to have a hazardous effect on motorcycles and their safe passage. The objective of this study is to research the work zones where motorcycle crashes have taken place in order to determine any contributing factors.Methods: This study incorporates the collection of motorcycle crash data, including construction documents associated with the work zones in which the crashes occurred. Crash documents from the Ohio Department of Public safety and the Ohio Department of Transportation are used to identify the initial factors to be studied.Results: Construction documents associated with 183 of the crashes are able to be retrieved. From these documents, the frequency of associated crashes and rates of fatalities per work type are able to be determined.Conclusions: It is found that work types that take place on lower functional class roadways, such as sewer repair, are found to have higher fatality rates. In contrast, those work zones on higher functional class roadways often incorporate speed calming measures and have a clear division between the traveled way and the actual construction work.

In this study, methods of metal recovery and mutual separation from the metal coexisting solution were studied by using the modified silica gel (PT100S). The effects of pH, chloride-ion, and metal-ion concentrations on the metal adsorption rate were evaluated through batch experiment. Pd(II) and Au(III) were adsorbed on PT100S, while Pt(IV) was not adsorbed. Furthermore, it was found that Pd(II) reacted with an adsorption site on PT100S, and that Au(III) reacted with a different adsorption site from Pd(II). These results enabled to separate the metals using a column packed with PT100S.

description: To date, there are no published guidelines on how to optimally install recorders on sloped terrain, although slope could potentially affect a recorder’s detection space. This study experimentally investigated the effect of microphone orientation in relation to slope of recorders from two cost classes. We installed four recorders at each plot centre (n = 16), oriented either parallel or perpendicular to the slope. We played standard tones of 1–11 kHz at distances of 10, 20, 40 and 80 m from the recorders. Our two response variables were the presence/absence of each tone (coarse spatial scale) and predicted sound extinction distance (fine spatial scale), which were tested for effects of microphone orientation and sound source direction (SSD). We observed a significant effect of microphone orientation on extinction distance when recorders were perpendicular to the slope at the finer spatial scale as an interaction with SSD, indicating that microphones are biased towards the direction they face. Despite the advertised directionality of most recorder microphones, detection space is not circular. This trend was observed across all frequencies, for both high- and low-cost recorders. Microphone orientation in relation to slope is not an important methodological consideration, instead dominant factors such as frequency and prevailing wind direction drive detection space shape.

description: The Target Of Rapamycin (TOR) is an evolutionarily conserved protein kinase that forms two distinct protein complexes referred to as TOR complex 1 (TORC1) and 2 (TORC2). Recent extensive studies have demonstrated that TORC1 is under the control of the small GTPases Rheb and Rag that funnel multiple input signals including those derived from nutritional sources; however, information is scarce as to the regulation of TORC2. A previous study using the model system provided by the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe identified Ryh1, a Rab-family GTPase, as an activator of TORC2. Here, we show that the nucleotide-binding state of Ryh1 is regulated in response to glucose, mediating this major nutrient signal to TORC2. In glucose-rich growth media, the GTP-bound form of Ryh1 induces TORC2-dependent phosphorylation of Gad8, a downstream target of TORC2 in fission yeast. Upon glucose deprivation, Ryh1 becomes inactive, which turns off the TORC2-Gad8 pathway. During glucose starvation, however, Gad8 phosphorylation by TORC2 gradually recovers independently of Ryh1, implying an additional TORC2 activator that is regulated negatively by glucose. The paired positive and negative regulatory mechanisms may allow fine-tuning of the TORC2-Gad8 pathway, which is essential for growth under glucose-limited environment.

description: The Target Of Rapamycin (TOR) is an evolutionarily conserved protein kinase that forms 2 distinct protein complexes referred to as TOR complex 1 (TORC1) and 2 (TORC2). Recent extensive studies have demonstrated that TORC1 is under the control of the small GTPases Rheb and Rag that funnel multiple input signals including those derived from nutritional sources; however, information is scarce as to the regulation of TORC2. A previous study using the model system provided by the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe identified Ryh1, a Rab-family GTPase, as an activator of TORC2. Here, we show that the nucleotide-binding state of Ryh1 is regulated in response to glucose, mediating this major nutrient signal to TORC2. In glucose-rich growth media, the GTP-bound form of Ryh1 induces TORC2-dependent phosphorylation of Gad8, a downstream target of TORC2 in fission yeast. Upon glucose deprivation, Ryh1 becomes inactive, which turns off the TORC2-Gad8 pathway. During glucose starvation, however, Gad8 phosphorylation by TORC2 gradually recovers independently of Ryh1, implying an additional TORC2 activator that is regulated negatively by glucose. The paired positive and negative regulatory mechanisms may allow fine-tuning of the TORC2-Gad8 pathway, which is essential for growth under glucose-limited environment.

description: The p53, p63, and p73 proteins belong to the p53 family of transcription factors, which play key roles in tumor suppression. Although the transactivation domains (TADs) of the p53 family are intrinsically disordered, these domains are commonly involved in the regulatory interactions with mouse double minute 2 (MDM2). In this study, we determined the solution structure of the p73TAD peptide in complex with MDM2 using NMR spectroscopy and biophysically characterized the interactions between the p53 family TAD peptides and MDM2. In combination with mutagenesis data, the complex structures revealed remarkably close mimicry of the MDM2 recognition mechanism among the p53 family TADs. Upon binding with MDM2, the intrinsically disordered p73TAD and p63TAD peptides adopt an amphipathic α-helical conformation, which is similar to the conformation of p53TAD, although the α-helical content induced by MDM2 binding varies. With isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and circular dichroism (CD) data, our biophysical characterization showed that p73TAD resembles p53TAD more closely than p63TAD in terms of helical stability, MDM2 binding affinity, and phosphorylation effects on MDM2 binding. Therefore, our structural information may be useful in establishing alternative anticancer strategies that exploit the activation of the p73 pathway against human tumors bearing p53 mutations.

The Drosophila histone variant H2A.V works in concert with HP1 to promote kinetochore-driven microtubule formation

description: Unlike other organisms that have evolved distinct H2A variants for different functions, Drosophila melanogaster has just one variant which is capable of filling many roles. This protein, H2A.V, combines the features of the conserved variants H2A.Z and H2A.X in transcriptional control/heterochromatin assembly and DNA damage response, respectively. Here we show that mutations in the gene encoding H2A.V affect chromatin compaction and perturb chromosome segregation in Drosophila mitotic cells. A microtubule (MT) regrowth assay after cold exposure revealed that loss of H2A.V impairs the formation of kinetochore-driven (k) fibers, which can account for defects in chromosome segregation. All defects are rescued by a transgene encoding H2A.V that lacks the H2A.X function in the DNA damage response, suggesting that the H2A.Z (but not H2A.X) functionality of H2A.V is required for chromosome segregation. We also found that loss of H2A.V weakens HP1 localization, specifically at the pericentric heterochromatin of metaphase chromosomes. Interestingly, loss of HP1 yielded not only telomeric fusions but also mitotic defects similar to those seen in H2A.V null mutants, suggesting a role for HP1 in chromosome segregation. We also show that H2A.V precipitates HP1 from larval brain extracts indicating that both proteins are part of the same complex. Moreover, we found that the overexpression of HP1 rescues chromosome missegregation and defects in the kinetochore-driven k-fiber regrowth of H2A.V mutants indicating that both phenotypes are influenced by unbalanced levels of HP1. Collectively, our results suggest that H2A.V and HP1 work in concert to ensure kinetochore-driven MT growth.
