A Moral Evaluation of Calling Out: Why Calling Out is a Permissible and Valuable Practice
Creators: name: Hulsey, Gabriella
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: I consider the moral permissibility and value of the practice of calling out. I give a minimal definition of calling out that should be acceptable to critics and proponents of calling out. I consider an argument on which calling out is both permissible and has unique moral value as a mechanism for helping others improve morally. On this positive argument, calling out is valuable because it offers a way for us to help others improve morally. I also present an argument on behalf of critics of calling out, according to which calling out is too harmful for those being called out for calling out to be morally permissible. My project is a positive one: I conclude that because callouts function as moral education mechanisms, calling out plays a role in mitigating culpable and non-culpable ignorance of important morally salient information.

description: Nonostante la convincente affermazione di stampo marcatamente politico di Bruno Latour secondo cui «non siamo mai stati moderni», e nonostante le critiche mosse dal postmoderno a questa posizione, l’urbanistica conserva molte delle sue originarie caratteristiche moderniste. Queste ultime non sono semplicemente residui storici destinati presto a scomparire, ma si rivelano cruciali nel mantenere l’identità e la collocazione della pianificazione all’interno della disciplina. La persistenza di queste caratteristiche definisce i confini di ciò che la pianificazione può diventare. Pur all’interno di queste limitazioni esistono possibilità per superare le false dicotomie – natura e cultura, scienza e politica – che costituiscono il fulcro del pensiero e della pratica modernista. Il saggio ripercorre dunque il ruolo dell’urbanistica nordamericana come strumento di comprensione del mondo, delle sue nuove dinamiche sociali e delle sue comunità urbane.

description: Locating planets in HabitableZones (HZs) around other stars is a growing field in contemporary astronomy. Since a large percentage of all G-M stars in the solar neighbourhood are expected to be part of binary or multiple stellar systems, investigations of whether habitable planets are likely to be discovered in such environments are of prime interest to the scientific community. As current exoplanet statistics predicts that the chances are higher to find new worlds in systems that are already known to have planets, we examine four known extrasolar planetary systems in tight binaries in order to determine their capacity to host additional habitable terrestrial planets. Those systems are Gliese 86, gamma Cephei, HD 41004 and HD 196885. In the case of gamma Cephei, our results suggest that only the M dwarf companion could host additional potentially habitable worlds. Neither could we identify stable, potentially habitable regions around HD 196885 A. HD 196885 B can be considered a slightly more promising target in the search for Earth-twins. Gliese 86 A turned out to be a very good candidate, assuming that the systems history has not been excessively violent. For HD 41004, we have identified admissible stable orbits for habitable planets, but those strongly depend on the parameters of the system. A more detailed investigation shows that for some initial conditions stable planetary motion is possible in the HZ of HD 41004 A. In spite of the massive companion HD 41004 Bb, we found that HD 41004 B, too, could host additional habitable worlds.

Genomic prediction

description: Verticillium wilt, a soil-borne disease caused by the fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae, threatens strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) production worldwide. The development of resistant cultivars has been a persistent challenge, in part because the genetics of resistance is complex. The heritability of resistance and genetic gains in breeding for resistance to this pathogen have not been well documented. To elucidate the genetics, assess long-term genetic gains, and estimate the accuracy of genomic selection for resistance to Verticillium wilt, we analyzed a genetically diverse population of elite and exotic germplasm accessions (n = 984), including 245 cultivars developed since 1854. We observed a full range of phenotypes, from highly susceptible to highly resistant: < 3% were classified as highly resistant, whereas > 50% were classified as moderately to highly susceptible. Broad-sense heritability estimates ranged from 0.70–0.76, whereas narrow-sense genomic heritability estimates ranged from 0.33–0.45. We found that genetic gains in breeding for resistance to Verticillium wilt have been negative over the last 165 years (mean resistance has decreased over time). We identified several highly resistant accessions that might harbor favorable alleles that are either rare or non-existent in modern populations. We did not observe the segregation of large-effect loci. The accuracy of genomic predictions ranged from 0.38–0.53 among years and whole-genome regression methods. We show that genomic selection has promise for increasing genetic gains and accelerating the development of resistant cultivars in strawberry by shortening selection cycles and enabling selection in early developmental stages without phenotyping.

description: Intense terahertz-frequency pulses induce coherent rotational dynamics and orientation of polar molecular ensembles. Exact numerical methods for rotational dynamics are computationally not feasible for the vast majority of molecular rotors - the asymmetric top molecules at ambient temperatures. We exemplify the use of Random Phase Wave Functions (RPWF) by calculating the terahertz-induced rotational dynamics of sulfur dioxide (SO2) at ambient temperatures and high field strengths and show that the RPWF method gains efficiency with the increase in temperature and in the THz-field strengths. The presented method provides wide-ranging computational access to rotational dynamical responses of molecules at experimental conditions which are far beyond the reach of exact numerical methods.

description: Purpose. The purpose of the current research is identification and integral estimation of ecological determinants of forming environment of an area’s social vulnerability (on the example of the oblasts of the Carpathian region of Ukraine). Methodology / approach. The empirics of environment of the social vulnerability based on the identification of ecological components is carried out by construction of commensurate series of indicators’ values through the normalizing for each group of parameters, in particular, within the selected set of areas (oblasts of the Carpathian region). The construction of time series of significance coefficients (calculation of weight coefficients) stipulates the use of the theory of sensitivity, while the calculation of the integral coefficient of the social vulnerability natural environment requires the multiplicative approach. Results. The calculated integral coefficients of the natural environment of social vulnerability contributed to determining the living standards of the population of the natural resource sector and showed a significant socio-ecological divergence among the oblasts of the Carpathian region and Ukraine. In 2019, the highest values of integral coefficients of social vulnerability natural environment in the Carpathian region of Ukraine were observed in Ivano-Frankivsk (0.574) and Chernivtsi (0.391) oblasts. Ivano-Frankivsk oblast was the leader in that regard throughout the studied period. Originality / scientific novelty. The methodological approach for analyzing the social vulnerability of the area has been improved, which, unlike the traditional ones based on determinants of the social, economic, and political environment, provides for a comprehensive analysis of the sensitivity of changes in the social vulnerability of the territory regarding the changes in the natural environment determinants. Practical value / implications. The paper offers and substantiates a methodological approach to the estimation of ecological determinants as the indicators of an area’s vulnerability growth, which serves as the information-analytical base for the development of the initiative-taking social vulnerability reduction policy.
title: The Challenge of Directing and Controlling Suburban Growth in Metropolitan Areas in Indonesia: The Case of Surabaya
Creators: name: Aulia, Belinda
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2026

description: In the Global South, the phenomenon of rapid urbanisation has accelerated leading to expansion in
suburban areas. Previous studies on urban growth management have had mixed results. However,
the lessons learnt show that formal rules are not the only factor that plays a part in the success of
implementing these policies. Actors should abide by formal rules, but they also use their logic that is
based on human cognition, unwritten norms, and shared understandings. This is because institutions
are often vague, leaving room for interpretation.
This study argues that key actors play an important part in urban expansion, regardless of the formal
regulations that have been set. However, few studies have explored the parts that actors play in
managing suburban growth. Therefore, using the lens of Actor-centred institutionalism, this study
assumes actors are not passive players. They can enable or disable new development in the suburbs
by implementing their own strategies. This study explores how actors use strategies within a
hierarchical institutional landscape in a metropolitan area, to advance their interests. This results in
the difficulty in managing (sub)urban growth.
Using a case study approach, regencies in the vicinity of the urban core of the Surabaya metropolitan
areas were identified as case studies and villages as embedded case studies. By adopting qualitative
methods, the research investigated how the key actors, at every administration level in the
metropolitan area dealt with the ambiguity and inconsistency between regulations, as well as the
difference between formal regulations and local norms when it came to land use management.
The study showed that in metropolitan areas, with multiple tiers of administration, the key actors, at
every tier, can find opportunities to implement their strategies because of the ambiguity of top-down
regulations, incoherent plans within or between tiers, or even a gap between rules and local norms.
Cumulatively their decisions result in both formal and informal suburban development.
This research suggests that rigid hierarchical zoning regulations are not an effective tool for
controlling development in a metropolitan area with layers of administration and compromising
culture. With formal suburbanisation, the hierarchical governance culture drives discretionary
decision-making in land use plan-making and planning permissions challenge the implementation of
the regulatory planning system thus resulting in urban expansion. With informal suburbanisation, the
power of key actors at the neighbourhood level, who hold considerable customary and political power
needs to be recognised by the planning system and be involved in governing suburbs.

description: Topological phases like topological insulators or superconductors are fascinating quantum states of matter, featuring novel properties such as emergent chiral edge states or Majorana fermions with non-Abelian braiding statistics. The recent experimental implementation of optical lattices with highly tunable geometry in cold gases opens up a new thrust on exploring these novel quantum states. Here we report that the topological non-trivial Bloch bands can arise naturally in a noncentrosymmetric lattice. It induces a controllable orbital hybridization, producing the topological band structure. In such bands, when considering attractive fermionic atoms, we find a topological Fulde-Ferrell superfluid state with finite center-of-mass momentum in the presence of onsite rotation. This topological superfluid supports Majorana fermions on its edges. Experimental signatures are predicted for cold gases in radio-frequency spectroscopy.

For black holes with two work terms we obtain nine equations instead of two to be satisfied at the critical point of a second order phase transition. We finally generalize this method to a system with an arbitrary number of degrees of freedom and found there is $\frac{N(N+1)^{2}}{2}$ equations to be satisfied at the point of a second order phase transition where $N$ is number of work terms in the first law of thermodynamics.

Its impulsive character is demonstrated by the field dependence of the amplitude of the resulting precession, which cannot be explained by a long-living photo or heat-induced anisotropy.

The Liberian Daguerreotypes of Augustus Washington: Photography, Science, and Blackness as Selfhood

description: This thesis explores the tension between scientific and portrait photography in nineteenth-century United States through an examination of the daguerreotypes of African Americans who emigrated to Liberia under the auspices of the American Colonization Society. Through an analysis of these daguerreotypes, I will show how these images communicate simultaneously in two contexts: the African American as a colonized body, and the African American as colonizer. The Liberian sitters depicted in these daguerreotypes offer a glimpse into a unique situation in which the colonized African Americans emigrated to Liberia and became colonizers, and as such, these daguerreotypes offer a distinct opportunity of examining the intersection of art, politics, and technology in the nineteenth century. I argue that these images became a site through which the sitters used the medium of photography not only as a means of self-representation, but as a political tool to claim a place in society.
Explorations in the Inclusive Fitness Movement: Community Voices & Visions

description: This thesis explores the developing “inclusive fitness movement.” With Fitness4AllBodies at its center, whose explicit mission is to abolish the Fitness Industrial Complex, this thesis is based on interviews conducted with founder Justice Roe Williams and affiliated fitness professionals and activists: Beck Beverage, Asher Freeman, Dr. Joy Cox, Dr. Courtney Marshall, Ilya Parker, Roc Rochon, and Lore McSpadden. From these conversations, it challenges the fitness industry constructing itself as an oasis divorced from “real life issues,” but rather demonstrates how the fitness industry is both product and agent of white supremacy. Further, how the development of the inclusive fitness movement is not a reformist measure at its heart—at least in this network—but rather an abolitionist one centered in purposeful unknowing through completely abolishing the power dynamics that shape present understandings of the body. Ultimately, they dream of fitness as creating new networks and economies of care.

description: Suicide continues to be a growing risk for college-aged individuals. In 2018, suicide took more than 48,000 lives (Comprehensive Suicide Prevention, 2020). This study utilized Framing Theory to determine how universities and institutions communicate student-athlete suicides. Press releases and university newspaper articles were gathered for 40 National Collegiate Athletic Association student athlete suicides from 2013-2018 and coded for t eight themes. An interview with a Director of Athletic Communications was conducted to understand crisis communication plans. Themes included high incorporation of framing theory and emphasis on profile of sport. The way university newspaper and press releases communicate student athlete suicides did not vary by gender, division, sport, public/private status. Mention of another student-athlete’s death was more frequent in other sports (30.8%) compared to football and men’s basketball (0.0%) (p=.035). Universities are unlikely to release cause of death and mention other deaths but likely to offer contact information of resources.

The selectional relations and constituency of classifiers in Mandarin Chinese
Creators: name: Peng, Yiwen
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This thesis delves into classifiers (shortened as CL in the following discussion) in Mandarin Chinese, with a focus on proposing a single constituent structure to account for the syntactic positions of different categories of classifiers. I examine Zhang’s (2013) split analysis, according to which the scope of delimitive adjectives indicates that different types of classifiers have distinct constituent structures and thus left- and right-branching structures are both required. In the split accounts, Mandarin classifiers that form a constituent with head nouns are represented with the right-branching structure, while those that form a constituent with numerals are represented with the left-branching structure. In this paper, I offer an account of feature checking among s-selectional features to explain the distinct scope relations between delimitive adjectives and different types of classifiers, and I argue for a consistent right-branching structure for the representation of all types of classifiers. Finally, the structure of Noun-Classifier compounds in Mandarin are discussed to argue that classifiers occur in two distinct projections, UnitP and ClP: they are initially base-generated in CL, and then move to Unit to license numerals, and this supports the unified right-branching analysis in which classifiers form a constituent with nouns first rather than with numerals.
Targeting Metabolic Pathways through Pharmacological and Chemotherapeutic Interventions to Improve Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Therapy
Creators: name: Ho, Alyssa Nicole

Year: 2021

description: Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) are an aggressive breast cancer subtype with systemic chemotherapy as the only current treatment option. Metabolic reprogramming is key to tumor resistance to stressors including therapy. We hypothesized that targeting nutrient-sensing pathways through IGF-1R/IR and mTORC1 inhibition would increase efficacy of the platinum-based agent carboplatin and that autophagy underpins cell survival. We investigated combinatorial drug treatment effects on cytotoxicity, target inhibition, and mitochondrial function in MDA-MD-231 cells. IGF-1R/IR and mTORC1 inhibition with BMS-754807 and everolimus, respectively, increased the cytotoxicity of carboplatin while BMS-754807 interacted with the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine increasing growth inhibition. This work indicates that IGF-1R/IR and/or mTORC1 suppression is potentially synergistic with carboplatin in TNBC cells and suggests IGF-1R/IR inhibition can collaborate with autophagy inhibition to suppress TNBC growth. We conclude that inhibiting nutrient-sensing metabolic pathways with chemotherapy and/or autophagy inhibition warrants additional study as a strategy to improve response in women with TNBC.

Pyruvate Carboxylase Regulates Breast Cancer Growth and Metastasis Under Restricted Serine, Glycine, and Glutamine Conditions
Creators: name: Eisenbeis, Lydia Kimball
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Metabolic reprogramming has been identified as an important driver of breast cancer (BC) metastatic spread, particularly through upregulation of the anaplerotic enzyme pyruvate carboxylase (PC). We hypothesize that loss of PC will sensitize BC cells to additional metabolic alterations, primarily the restriction of serine, glycine, and glutamine. PC inhibition was modeled in metM-WntLung BC cells in vitro with siPC and shPC constructs. Cell viability and migration assays were conducted following exogenous serine and glycine restriction or glutaminase inhibition. Serine and glycine restriction reduced cell proliferation and metastasis in scramble conditions and targeted many prognostic biomarkers of metastasis. Similar responses were observed with glutaminase inhibition; however, PC loss did not contribute to impaired growth or metastasis. Ongoing work will assess this response in vivo with a surgical tumor resection model. This study therefore highlights altered metabolic reprogramming, particularly through depletion of nitrogen sources, as a potential therapeutic target for inhibiting BC metastatic spread.

Broken Records: Fear, Performance, and Surveillance in the Evolution of Sex Offender Registration Law
Creators: name: Gorelick, Zachary
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This thesis chronologically examines U.S. sex offender registration law through three theoretical lenses -  populist punitiveness, labeling, and performance – beginning during the period of Chinese Exclusion and ending in the present. Using qualitative legal and textual analysis research methods, this thesis explores the history of forced registration in the U.S., analyzes the federal and state requirements for sex offender registration and the legal challenges these have faced, considers areas where Fourth Amendment legal challenges may arise, and concludes by performing a textual analysis case study of the South Carolina sex offender registry. It concludes that a clear history of bigotry, political fear-mongering, and law enforcement performance continues to drive the expansion of registration schemes – with the federal government wielding the most influence in this process. The author suggests that state courts asserting their autonomy against increasingly punitive federal sex offender laws may be one path in the direction of meaningful reform.
Parental Conscientiousness and Effective Disease Management in Children with Type 1 Diabetes
Creators: name: Clay, Kendall

Year: 2021

description: Type 1 diabetes is a chronic health condition that requires treatment adherence to avoid severe complications. This study examined the relationship between caregiver conscientiousness and the quality of diabetes management provided to the child. A total of 30 parents of children with diabetes in a Southeastern US Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic participated in a cross-sectional study. Demographic information, patient A1C scores, caregiver conscientiousness levels, and caregiver treatment adherence were assessed. Participants were divided into two groups based on the child’s A1C scores. Caregiver’s conscientiousness scores were not associated with A1C scores of the child. Caregivers’ treatment adherence scores did predict A1C scores. Preliminary findings suggest that while parental conscientiousness may not predict the child’s A1C score, caregivers’ treatment adherence did. Thus, parents are aware of proper treatment, and if they pursue it, the child will benefit. Adherence may reflect facets of conscientiousness such as the ability to work diligently, be responsible, and obey the rules.Keywords: T1D, type 1 diabetes, adherence, parent or caregiver conscientiousness, diabetes management

Kick It With Me: The Role of Social Bonding Behavior in Relationship Initiation
Creators: name: Jolink, Tatum Amelia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Behaviors known to promote social bonds in existing relationships – participant’s affectionate touch, shared laughter and partner’s gratitude expression – have seldom been examined during relationship initiation. Using a novel relationship initiation paradigm, we demonstrate that social behavior signals affiliation in initial interactions. A diverse sample of first-year undergraduates (N = 143) spontaneously-reported anytime they met someone new with potential for friendship or romantic interest; we tracked relationship developments three-days, one-week and approximately two months later. From initial interactions, we showed three behaviors were associated with post-interaction interest in affiliating with new social partners. We found evidence for theoretically-motived mechanisms of this process and that these effects held when controlling for social perceptual alternative explanations. We examined if behavior predicted future relationship development and found shared laughter consistently did. Post-interaction interest in affiliating explained the association between each focal behavior and future indicators of relationship development. Implications for relationship initiation are discussed.

Year: 2021

description: Childhood overweight/obesity (OWOB) and early childhood caries (ECC) are two prevalent conditions that confer significant health and economic impacts on affected individuals and families. This investigation sought to understand the prevalence and risk factors common to OWOB and ECC in a preschool age population in North Carolina. Clinical and questionnaire data was obtained from an epidemiologic study of 3-5 year old children attending public preschool programs in North Carolina. Statistical analyses and Geographic Information System (GIS) –based methods were employed to examine sociodemographic, behavioral, and geographic associations. There was no important clinical association between obesity and ECC in this population of preschool-age children. Hispanic ethnicity, parental education, and dietary behaviors were salient influences in the prevalence of these two conditions.

description: We report on the spectroscopic observation of a quantized electronic fine structure near the Fermi energy in thin Fe films grown on W(110). The quantum well states are detected down to binding energies of $\sim$10 meV by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. The band dispersion of these states is found to feature a pronounced anisotropy within the surface plane: It is free-electron like along the $\bar{Γ\rm{H}}$-direction while it becomes heavy along $\bar{Γ\rm{N}}$. Density functional theory calculations identify the observed states to have both majority and minority spin character and indicate that the large anisotropy can be dependent on the number of Fe-layers and coupling to the substrate.

The project looked at 16,000 individuals drawn from census data for Alnwick, Brighton, Bristol, Dundee, Greenock, Leeds, Merthyr Tydfil, Morpeth, and Winchester. The research project was funded by the UK Economic & Social Research Council and was based at the Universities of Oxford and Northumbria.
title:  Il senso del moderno nella città americana

description: La città americana è sempre stata il luogo dove i sogni della città europea hanno trovato il modo di realizzarsi in misura spesso molto maggiore di quanto non sia stato possibile nella terra madre. E stato così nell’Ottocento, quando la prima modernizzazione, arrivata con l’indipendenza, si esprimeva con le architetture industriali provenienti dall’Inghilterra e quelle istituzionali dalla Francia. Il caso più clamoroso è indubbiamente quello della diffusione dell’architettura moderna, nata in Europa come figlia della crisi seguita alla prima guerra mondiale, ed esplosa nelle Americhe dopo gli anni trenta del XX secolo. Ciò è avvenuto attraverso l’accettazione collettiva di uno stile che in Europa non è mai diventato realmente popolare. Nelle Americhe l’architettura nata dal Movimento moderno ha potuto dispiegarsi in quantità e qualità altrove ignote. Forse per la mancanza di una tradizione locale di peso, più attendibilmente per un’accettazione entusiasta della innovazione. Il saggio attraversa dunque alcuni esempi di progettazione modernista nelle Americhe, studiando il modo in cui si integra e si relaziona con il tessuto urbano già esistente.

description: We determined accurate positions for 3000 of the "faint blue stars" in the PHL (Palomar-Haro-Luyten) and Ton/TonS catalogues. These were published from 1957 to 1962, and, aimed at finding new white dwarfs, provide approximate positions for about 10750 blue stellar objects. Some of these "stars" had become known as quasars, a type of objects unheard-of before 1963. We derived subarcsec positions from a comparison of published finding charts with images from the first-epoch Digitized Sky Survey. Numerous objects are now well known, but unfortunately neither their PHL or Ton numbers, nor their discoverers, are recognized in current databases. A comparison with modern radio, IR, UV and X-ray surveys leads us to suggest that the fraction of extragalactic objects in the PHL and Ton catalogues is at least 15 per cent. However, because we failed to locate the original PHL plates or finding charts, it may be impossible to correctly identify the remaining 7726 PHL objects.

Using Regionalized Air Quality Model Performance and Bayesian Maximum Entropy Data Fusion to Map Global Surface Ozone Concentration and Associated Uncertainty
Creators: name: Becker, Jacob Sugar

description: We map global surface ozone by combining information from global models and station observations, annually (1990-2017) at fine spatial resolution. Previous model bias corrections were linear and homogeneous within continents. We improve on this by using the Regionalized Air Quality Model Performance (RAMP) framework to bias-correct a multi-model composite, accounting for non-linearity and non-homogeneity. We then use Bayesian Maximum Entropy (BME) to further correct the RAMP estimate by matching observations, with declining influence of observations as distance increases. Incorporating RAMP before BME has little effect on model performance near stations, but strongly increases R2 by 0.15 at locations without stations. Corrections to estimates differ based on location in space and time, confirming heterogeneity. Western US, southern Europe, central Africa, the Middle East, India, and Northern China were found to have the highest likelihood to exceed 45 and 55 ppb in 2017.

description: Phylogenetic analyses often produce large numbers of trees. Mapping trees' distribution in "tree space" can illuminate the behavior and performance of search strategies, reveal distinct clusters of optimal trees, and expose differences between different data sources or phylogenetic methods—but the high-dimensional spaces defined by metric distances are necessarily distorted when represented in fewer dimensions. Here, I explore the consequences of this transformation in phylogenetic search results from 128 morphological data sets, using stratigraphic congruence—a complementary aspect of tree similarity—to evaluate the utility of low-dimensional mappings. I find that phylogenetic similarities between cladograms are most accurately depicted in tree spaces derived from information-theoretic tree distances or the quartet distance. Robinson–Foulds tree spaces exhibit prominent distortions and often fail to group trees according to phylogenetic similarity, whereas the strong influence of tree shape on the Kendall–Colijn distance makes its tree space unsuitable for many purposes. Distances mapped into two or even three dimensions often display little correspondence with true distances, which can lead to profound misrepresentation of clustering structure. Without explicit testing, one cannot be confident that a tree space mapping faithfully represents the true distribution of trees, nor that visually evident structure is valid. My recommendations for tree space validation and visualization are implemented in a new graphical user interface in the "TreeDist" R package.

Διεθνής αγορά ναυτιλιακών καυσίμων – Ιστορικό, σημερινή κατάσταση, ανταγωνιστικότητα και ιδιαιτερότητες ανά τοπική αγορά

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι η εξέταση και η ανάλυση των υπαρχόντων και μελλοντικών λύσεων όσον αφορά στα εναλλακτικά καύσιμα και τις τεχνολογίες και πρακτικές μείωσης των ρύπων που μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν στη ναυτιλία. Τα εναλλακτικά καύσιμα που εξετάστηκαν είναι το υδρογόνο, η αμμωνία , η μεθανόλη, η οικογένεια των βιοκαυσίμων και η πυρηνική ενέργεια. Οι τεχνολογίες που εξετάστηκαν για τις πρακτικές μείωσης των ρύπων είναι οι πλυντηρίδες καυσίμων(scrubbers) και η μείωση της ταχύτητας(slow steaming). Οι λύσεις που εξετάστηκαν φέρουν τα εναλλακτικά καύσιμα και τις τεχνολογίες μείωσης των ρύπων είτε απευθείας στο σύστημα πρόωσης του πλοίου ( ως κύρια ή επικουρική πηγή ενέργειας) είτε ως παροχή ενέργειας για τα βοηθητικά συστήματα του πλοίου. Οι λύσεις για το μέλλον της ναυτιλίας είναι πολυάριθμες ,η καθεμία με τα πλεονεκτήματα και τα μειονεκτήματα της. Συνεπώς, δεν υπάρχει μια και μοναδική λύση η οποία να ταιριάζει σε όλες τις περιπτώσεις απανθρακοποίησης του ναυτιλιακού τομέα, αλλά διαφορετικές οι οποίες μπορούν να εφαρμοστούν κατά περίπτωση, ανάλογα με το κόστος υλοποίησης, την δυναμική τους για το μέλλον αλλά και τα προβλήματα που προκύπτουν κατά την υλοποίηση τους. Ρυθμιστικές αρχές όπως ο Διεθνής Ναυτιλιακός Οργανισμός (ΙΜΟ) και η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση μετατρέπουν τους στόχους σε κανονισμούς. Καθώς οι υποχρεωτικοί κανονισμοί για το διοξείδιο του άνθρακα (CO2) ενισχύονται, είναι σαφές ότι κανένα καύσιμο δεν θα λύσει όλες τις ανάγκες της ναυτιλίας για μηδενικές εκπομπές διοξειδίου του άνθρακα. Στο μέλλον, οι πλοιοκτήτες θα εξοπλίσουν τα πλοία για το καύσιμο που είναι το πλέον κατάλληλο για τον τύπο του πλοίου, τη διαδρομή και το φορτίο. Εκτός από την αμμωνία, άλλα υποψήφια εναλλακτικά καύσιμα είναι το υδρογόνο, η μεθανόλη, τα βιοκαύσιμα, και η πυρηνική ενέργεια.
