description: Schlüsseltechnologien für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung wie Elektromotoren, Generatoren, Photovoltaik, LED-Beleuchtung und Batteriespeicher basieren auf funktionalen Elementen wie schweren Seltenen Erden, Zinn, Silber, Platin und Lithium, die bereits heute als kritische Rohstoffe gelten. Wenn diese Technologien nicht nur in Deutschland sondern auch weltweit ausgebaut werden, wird sich die Nachfrage nach diesen Metallen vervielfachen. Relevante Substitutionsalternativen liegen vor, die den spezifischen und absoluten Bedarf an kritischen Rohstoffen deutlich senken können.  Um die Potentiale zu erschließen, wird nun eine Roadmap vorgestellt, um je nach Reifegrad und Zeithorizont der Substitutionsalternativen Anreize für Maßnahmen zur Technologieentwicklung, Markteinführung, Marktdurchdringung durch Qualifizierung und Austausch sowie Anpassung der rechtlich-regulatorische Rahmenbedingungen zu geben. Mithilfe der Roadmap sollen insbesondere  konzertierte Ansätze von wichtigen Akteuren des Innovationssystems aus Politik, Forschung, Wirtschaft und Verbänden unterstützt werden.

description: Currently, the accurate prediction of the impact of an extreme wave on infrastructure located near shore is difficult to assess. There is a lack of established methods to accurately quantify these impacts. Extreme waves, such as tsunamis generate, through breaking, extremely powerful hydraulic bores that impact and significantly damage coastal structures and buildings located close to the shoreline. The damage induced by such hydraulic bores is often due to structural failure. Examples of devastating coastal disasters are the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, 2005 Hurricane Katrina and most recently, the 2011 Tohoku Japan Tsunami. As a result, more advanced research is needed to estimate the magnitude of forces exerted on structures by such bores. This research presents results of a numerical model based on the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method which is used to simulate the impact of extreme hydrodynamic forces on shore protection walls. Typically, fluids are modeled numerically based on a Lagrangian approach, an Eulerian approach or a combination of the two. Many of the common problems that arise from using more traditional techniques can be avoided through the use of SPH-based models. Such challenges include the model computational efficiency in terms of complexity of implementation. The SPH method allows water particles to be individually modeled, each with their own characteristics, which then accurately depicts the behavior and properties of the flow field. An open source code, known as SPHysics, was used to run the simulations presented in this thesis. Several cases analysed consist of hydraulic bores impacting a flat vertical wall as well as a sloping seawall. The analysis includes comparisons of the numerical results with published experimental data. The model is shown to accurately reproduce the formation of solitary waves as well as their propagation and breaking. The impacting bore profiles as well as the resulting pressures are also efficiently simulated using the model.

description: The purpose of this study was two fold: (1) to examine how the distribution of resources within and outside an Enhanced Language Training Program (ELT) affected a group of newcomers’ access to Internet literacy development; and (2) to discuss ensuing pedagogical and curricular implications for the ELT Program. The relationship between the distribution of resources and a group of newcomers’ access to Internet literacy development was studied through a hybrid of two frameworks: van Dijk’s (2005) digital divide and Warschauer’s (2004) social inclusion. The key findings were that the distribution of resources affected access four ways: (1) resources affected multiple types of access, (2) the effect of resource distribution on access was both cumulative and successive, (3) distribution of resources could either facilitate or impede access, and (4) Internet literacy development could potentially increase or decrease the resources. The findings resulted in implications for the ELT program and teaching.

The Problem of Gender Mainstreaming in the Development of the Pacific Plan

description: This thesis examines the way that women engaged with policy-making in the Pacific Islands Forum's development processes for establishing the Pacific Plan for Strengthening Regional Cooperation and Integration. It does so in order to understand women's perspectives of their involvement in the development processes for building regional inter-governmental policy. It reveals how many Pacific women believed they had been marginalised from some significant aspects of these processes during the development of the Pacific Plan. Using a feminist standpoint framework, the study begins by considering how historical socio-political influences are relevant to contemporary policy development processes. It then focuses on the gendered nature of 2004-2005 Pacific Islands Forum's public consultation and submission processes for developing the Pacific Plan. The Pacific Islands Forum's policy of gender mainstreaming is critiqued by considering the way that the policy development processes failed to ensure women's voices were present at all levels of the process. It defers to the voices of the excluded, and understands them as having an intimate knowledge of why such exclusion occurs. This thesis builds on existing scholarly work on gender mainstreaming, and gender and policy development and practice. These accounts regularly connect the conceptual chasm between women's lived experiences as participants in regional and global political environments, and the élite nature of intergovernmental policy-making. The perspectives of those located outside formal political processes generally escape analytical attention, while these studies often chronicle evidence of women's engagement with political power, or their frequent marginalisation from issue-based politics such as security and economics. This thesis demonstrates that evaluations of women's marginalisation can provide a more nuanced understanding of the shortfalls in regional policy development processes, and ultimately contribute to meeting international gender equality obligations.

Some Connections between Classical and Nonclassical Symmetries of a Partial Differential Equation and Their Applications
Creators: name: Temuer, Chaolu

Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
Year: 2020

description: Essential connections between the classical symmetry and nonclassical symmetry of a partial differential equations (PDEs) are established. Through these connections, the sufficient conditions for the nonclassical symmetry of PDEs can be derived directly from the inconsistent conditions of the system determining equations of the classical symmetry of the PDE. Based on the connections, a new algorithm for determining the nonclassical symmetry of a PDEs is proposed. The algorithm make the determination of the nonclassical symmetry easier by adding compatibility extra equations obtained from system of determining equations of the classical symmetry to the system of determining equations of the nonclassical symmetry of the PDE. The findings of this study not only give an alternative method to determine the nonclassical symmetry of a PDE, but also can help for better understanding of the essential connections between classical and nonclassical symmetries of a PDE. Concurrently, the results obtained here enhance the efficiency of the existing algorithms for determining the nonclassical symmetry of a PDE. As applications of the given algorithm, a nonclassical symmetry classification of a class of generalized Burgers equations and the nonclassical symmetries of a KdV-type equations are given within a relatively easier way and some new nonclassical symmetries have been found for the Burgers equations.

Langdon (LDN) to obtain a segregating F6 mapping population. A map with 197 microsatellites and 493 DArT markers on 690 loci was constructed to identify QTLs for drought stress tolerance associated traits [30, 31]. (2/3) Markers that flank the QTL-regions of interest were then used to introgress the QTLs into the background of elite wheat cultivars. The plants were subsequently backcrossed three times to diminish the genomic fraction of the donor parent. Finally, BC3F3 and BC3F4 progenies were phenotyped under water-limited and well-watered conditions together with their recurrent parents [28]. NIL-U-2B-1 and NIL-B-7A-2 not only showed better tolerance than their recurrent elite parents but also exhibited negative traits [28]. (4) 15k iSelect genotypic data of F7 descendants of the original mapping population are used to reconstruct a new high-resolution genetic map [32].

description: Physique traits impact on competitive success across a range of sports, therefore accurate methods of measuring and monitoring change in body composition are required to optimise training or dietary interventions. Many factors have been shown to influence reliability or precision of measurement which has been recognised by manufacturers of body composition assessment equipment. A series of four studies were conducted to investigate the relationship between the presentation of an athlete prior to assessment and the reliability of a range of body composition assessment methods. A better understanding of the factors that influence this relationship enabled the development of best practice protocols that may enhance identification of real change in body composition, reducing the need to rely on biological assumptions and thus improving the validity of body composition assessment.

description: The police perform an invaluable service to the community through the maintenance of law, order and peace, which positively impacts community safety. However, at times, the tactics used by some police in the exercise of their duties is criticised by the public. Heavy-handed practices in apprehending offenders, alleged racism and unfair practices, deaths in custody, bribery, illegal searches and victim neglect, are just some of the events that have resulted in complaints against the police around the world. Given the high volume of daily interactions between police and members of their communities it is not surprising that disputes occur and that these can result in large numbers of complaints, including those involving customer service issues or allegations of minor and serious misconduct.

An Integrated Framework For The Conceptualisation and Empirical Analysis Of Work-Life Balance

resources-and-demands theory

description: Managing paid work alongside other parts of life has been the focus of research since the 1960s. The terminology has evolved and reflected the changing social, economic and workplace developments and issues that have occurred over the decades, with the worklife balance discourse beginning in the 1990s. Despite the exponential growth in worklife balance research and practice in recent years, the concept remains underdeveloped. The field is hindered by a lack of solid theoretical models and the absence of a psychometrically sound measure of work-life balance. In addition, very few studies have explored the factors that relate to the achievement of successful work-life balance. This research addresses the limitations identified above and is guided by a relevant framework that incorporates two complementary lines of scholarship - demands-andresources theory and work-family interface theory. An integrated conceptualisation and theoretical model of work-life balance is proposed to answer the research questions: How do personal and environmental characteristics contribute to an individual's perception of work-life balance and to its consequences? and What are the strategies used by individuals who perceive themselves as having successful work-life balance? Consideration is given to the various aspects of work-life balance: personal and environmental contributing factors (demands and resources), work-family interface indicators (conflict and facilitation), the measurement of perceived work-life balance and its relationship with a range of consequences for individuals and organisations (wellbeing, mental health, satisfaction and performance).

description: Critical urban studies has shifted in recent years toward a focus on inequality and identity-based tension in developing countries. These theories have evolved alongside pressure for inclusive urban governance that recognizes a right to difference for minorities in cities. In the rapidly urbanizing People's Republic of China, these complex issues threaten the inclusiveness of future development. Ürümqi, the capital city of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), has been the site of social unrest between the Han Chinese majority and the Uyghur minority for more than a century. Economic growth and urbanization have resulted in increasing inequality and tensions between Han and Uyghur people that periodically erupt in violence, as did in Ürümqi in July of 2009. These tensions are complicated by the socio-economic marginalization of minorities, and the exclusion of the overall population from urban governance processes. Following the July 2009 riots, the Xinjiang government expressed willingness for more inclusive urban development; however the local government lacks the necessary tools to facilitate participation, and as such resident perceptions go unheard. This study adapts critical urban theory and Chinese political thought for the non-democratic context of Ürümqi, China. The perceptions of local residents are evaluated using a questionnaire and focus groups, through which it is shown that resident perceptions and use of urban space are heavily affected by ethnic identity. This, coupled with the banning of Uyghur cultural practices and exclusion of residents from public affairs, exacerbates urban inequalities and identity-based tension. It is important that critical urban studies take residents' inability to participate in urban governance processes (particularly in non-democratic contexts) into account when studying the link between identity and urban space.

The remaining molecular markers form linkage groups of the same allele types so that GTM can highlight intervals that are flanked by markers with the same allele information. Intervals that are flanked by markers with different allele types are not coloured because the exact position of recombination between both markers is unknown. (B) If genetic consensus marker positions are used, markers with different allele information can be assigned to the same genetic position. In those cases, colouring of intervals is not possible, and marker-based colouring might lead to inaccurate results (see Marker M1, M2, M3). Filtering of the allele types of interest might be the method of choice to analyse that kind of genotype, as illustrated in (C) and (D).

description: The most thought-provoking design exhibition in New York of the summer was Design for the Other 90% at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. While Design Life Now: The National Design Triennial took up the former Carnegie mansion's interiors, curator Cynthia Smith's Design for the Other 90% was, fittingly perhaps, situated outside in the garden. Coming out onto the lawn from the Triennial, the first thing that struck me about Design for the Other 90% was that it wasn't a particularly aesthetically-pleasing exhibition. It also seemed rather small, tucked away in a corner of the garden. But it's a start. The exhibition's premise was simple but confronting---most of what we think of as design is produced for a small fraction of the world's population with large disposable incomes. Indeed, much of the work in the vast Triennial fell into this category of design that serves the world's wealthiest 10%.

description: This thesis focuses on the effects of ownership and the familiarity bias on subjective knowledge in the German automobile market. It is located at the point of intersection of classical economic decision-making theory and behavioural economics. With increasing computational capacity and advancement in medical as well as psychological fields, behavioural economics offers ways to improve classic decision-making models. This research uses data from 467 participants that have answered a questionnaire on their decision-making behaviour for extended warranties in the German automobile market. It assesses the effect of previous ownership of an extended warranty on the feeling of familiarity by measuring participants’ subjective knowledge.
description: The thesis starts with explaining the current status of research on purchase decision making, consumer knowledge, and the familiarity effect. It explains the research used to create the model used for this study, specifically subjective and objective knowledge. A questionnaire was developed to gather the data necessary for evaluating the model. This research uses the technique of structural equation modeling (SEM) to assess the effect of product-related experience on subjective and objective knowledge as well as the effect on the willingness to pay.
description: The data of 467 participants was analyzed using the previously explained SEM. The empirical results suggest a high influence of product-related experience on subjective knowledge. The influence of product-related experience on objective knowledge is not significant for the data assessed. The data was then divided into two groups of non-possessors and possessors to analyze the effect of possession on subjective and objective knowledge. The empirical results suggest that previous possession has a significant influence on subjective knowledge, while the influence on objective knowledge is not statistically significant. The data does not suggest an influence of previous ownership on the willingness to pay.
description: This research provides several valuable contributions to the literature. First, it is the first study to be conducted on a real-world purchase decision-making situation for a consumer good. Second, it connects the findings of classical economic decision-making theory with the latest research in behavioural economics to improve the validity of the decision-making models. Third, it provides valuable knowledge on the effects of previous ownership on subjective and objective knowledge, the built-up of schemas and its influence on the

Public participation in decision-making: A case study of National Capital Commission to integrate public participation into Gatineau Park Master Plan.
Creators: name: Nortey, Henry.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: Political Science, Public Administration.

description: The concept of "Public Participation" indicates that it is always important to involve the public who would be affected by a decision in its planning process. While participating citizens often see these programmes as contributing to increased influence in government policy-making, members of the sponsoring agencies are more likely to see them as a means to improve agency effectiveness. It is assumed that if individuals or group of individuals believe they have a say in a fair and open process of policy development then they will be willing to accept the outcome of that process, even if it is not their preferred outcome. However most decision-makers are of the view that they really know what the public wants and can conveniently take decisions for them. This study examines the maiden attempt by the National Capital Commission (NCC) to involve the public in its planning process and this was when it decided to prepare a master plan for Gatineau Park. The consultation process was held in 1976 with the presentation of a Conceptual Plan for the public to provide an alternative. The Master Plan came out in 1980. The entire consultation process as conducted by the National Capital Commission has been reviewed by this study and findings made. It was found out that effective public participation should take the needs and aspirations of the public into consideration and they must also be part of the planning process of that particular decision.

description: As firearms continuously become more sophisticated, there have been commensurate efforts to optimize the ballistic performance of armours, with ceramic materials currently at the forefront of such studies. These efforts have focused on improving processing and microstructural design with reinforcements using dispersion particles, carbon nanotubes (CNT) and boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT). In most studies, ballistic testing has been used to identify parameters affecting the performance. The research documented here focuses on: (1) the investigation of two commercial ceramics, namely silicon carbide (SiC) and zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA). The primary material properties evaluated for the characterization included: hardness, fracture toughness, flexural strength and Young’s modulus. Other properties investigated included the microstructure, porosity/density, and mode of failure or fracture. (2) Ballistic depth of penetration (DOP) testing for six candidate ceramic armour systems including three monolithic ceramics (Al2O3, SiC and B4C) and three nanotube toughened ceramic composites (Al2O3-BNNT, Al2O3-single walled CNT and SiC-BNNT). SiC showed a hardness of 2413 HV, which is far beyond the requirements for armour ceramic. In contrast, ZTA barely met the hardness requirement of 1500 HV, but showed improved toughness of 4.90 MPa m1/2 beyond values reported for monolithic alumina. SiC and ZTA showed that microstructural design improves fracture toughness but processing introduces defects that can substantially reduce other armour related properties such as the strength. The results of the Charpy and drop tower impact tests are in agreement with indentation fracture toughness results suggesting a great degree of reliability of this cost efficient method. The addition of nanotubes produced an increase in toughness and a decrease in hardness in the ceramics, which resulted in an overall drop in performance during ballistic depth of penetration (DOP) tests. A microstructure-quasi-static mechanical properties-ballistic performance relationship was established which led to the development of a novel ballistic performance index and a new DOP model. The proposed ballistic performance index yielded a ranking, which agrees better with experimental observations than the currently published indices. The developed semi-empirical model suggests that the ballistic performance of ceramics is improved with increased fracture toughness, reduced flaw size and higher density.

description: Sleep disorders are a significant and growing problem, both for the economy of the nation and for the physical and psychological well-being of individual sufferers. Physicians who deal with sleep disorders, and their administrative support staff and facilities, are under constant pressure to find more efficient ways of dealing with the backlog of patients, many of whom face significant wait times before being able to attend a consultation. There is a growing literature on the utility of online programs that deliver efficiencies in medical environments, and it was therefore decided that research into such an application for sleep disorder patients would be warranted. The research reported here addresses that problem. The purpose of this research, therefore, is to investigate the operational, administrative and medical environment within which sleep physicians currently diagnose patients with sleep disorders, with a view to developing an online support system that would more efficiently gather patient history data, and so improve the effectiveness of patient-physician consultations, the diagnoses, and patients' self-management of any subsequent treatment plans.

description: The dramatic increase in the availability of processed foods has substantially changed the contemporary food environment. Simultaneously, the nutrient density and quality of these foods have declined, contributing to the exponential increase in the prevalence of obesity and nutrition-related chronic diseases. Consequently, the populace percentages of diabetes have surged in tandem with this rise in obesity rates. Despite prolific research into obesity and type 2 diabetes (t2d), current treatment has been unable to stem the upsurge of this epidemic. Food addiction (FA) is a contemporary concept challenging traditional methods in the treatment of obesity and related medical complications. Simply directing a person predisposed to FA to lose weight in order to decrease their diabetes symptomology is unlikely to be effective for everyone, which may also explain why current treatment modalities have had limited effect.

Neurodevelopment

description: Expansive proliferation of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) is a prerequisite to the temporal waves of neuronal differentiation that generate the six-layered cerebral cortex. NPC expansion places a heavy burden on proteins that regulate chromatin packaging and genome integrity, which is further reflected by the growing number of developmental disorders caused by mutations in chromatin regulators. Accordingly, mutations in ATRX, a chromatin remodelling protein required for heterochromatin maintenance at telomeres and simple repeats, cause the ATR-X syndrome. Here, we demonstrate that proliferating ATRX-null cells accumulate DNA damage, while also exhibiting sensitivity to hydroxyurea-induced replication fork stalling. Specifically, PARP1 hyperactivation and replication-dependent double strand DNA breakage indicated replication fork protection defects, while DNA fiber assays confirmed that ATRX was required to protect replication forks from degradation. Interestingly, inhibition of the exonuclease MRE11 by the small molecule mirin could prevent degradation. Thus, ATRX is required to limit replication stress during NPC expansion.

The Prediction of Batting Averages in Major League Baseball
Creators: name: Bailey, Sarah R.

description: The prediction of yearly batting averages in Major League Baseball is a notoriously difficult problem where standard errors using the well-known PECOTA (Player Empirical Comparison and Optimization Test Algorithm) system are roughly 20 points. This paper considers the use of ball-by-ball data provided by the Statcast system in an attempt to predict batting averages. The publicly available Statcast data and resultant predictions supplement proprietary PECOTA forecasts. With detailed Statcast data, we attempt to account for a luck component involving batting averages. It is anticipated that the luck component will not be repeated in future seasons. The two predictions (Statcast and PECOTA) are combined via simple linear regression to provide improved forecasts of batting average.

E.coli

description: E. coli is the normal inhabitant of the intestinal tract of healthy individuals. In the gut, these bacteria can increase in number, adhering to the gut epithelium, invading and crossing this barrier to appear in the otherwise sterile extra-intestinal sites, a process that is known as bacterial translocation. However, reports on the population structure of faecal E. coli and their possible role in translocation and development of extra-intestinal diseases such as sepsis, are very limited. In this study, it was hypothesised that dominant E. coli strains in the gut of healthy individuals may have virulence properties that enable them to adhere to, invade and translocate across the human gut epithelial cells. To investigate this hypothesis, a collection of 696 E. coli strains previously isolated and typed from 45 subjects were grouped into dominant (if they constituted ≥50% of the isolates tested from each individual) and non-dominant strains in the samples tested. These strains were analysed for their interaction with Caco-2 cells including their adhesion, invasion and translocation as well as biofilm formation and finally their virulence gene profiles. The results of this study showed that strains belonging to dominant types adhered, invaded and translocated significantly more than non-dominant strains. Moreover, dominant strains showed the ability to form significantly more biofilm than non-dominant strains. Some virulence genes such as kpsMTII, papC and papG allele III were also found to be significantly higher among dominant than non-dominant strains. These data suggest that E. coli strains dominating the gut may potentially be capable of translocating through gut epithelium under predisposing conditions of the host.

Molecular Bose-Einstein condensates and p-wave Feshbach molecules of 6Li2
Creators: name: Fuchs, Jurgen
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis describes the production of molecular Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) of 6Li2 dimers and binding energy measurements of p-wave Feshbach molecules. A σ− Zeeman slower is used to produce a continuous beam of isotopically enriched 6Li atoms at speeds low enough to load a magneto-optical trap (MOT). We currently have a flux of slowed atoms of ~ 5 · 106 atoms/s loading the MOT with more than 108 atoms. We then transfer up to 106 atoms in an almost equal spin mixture of the two lowest hyperfine states into an optical dipole trap. We achieved condensates in three different crossed optical dipole trap geometries. The initial low power optical dipole trap was formed using light from a 25WVersaDisk Yb:YAG laser at 1030 nm. It consisted of a 15 W beam crossed with a 13 W beam at about 80 degrees with a waist of approximately 30 μm in each beam. By translating the focus of the second beam we could change the trap geometry from near symmetric to elongated. Nowadays, we produce condensates in a crossed dipole trap formed by a 100 W fibre laser. Both arms are focussed to a waist of 40 μm, cross each other at 14 degrees and have laser powers of ~80 W and ~70 W, respectively. Evaporative cooling is achieved by reducing the laser power near the broad s-wave Feshbach resonance at 834 G. By tuning to the low magnetic field side (770 G) of the Feshbach resonance molecules are formed through three-body recombination at sufficiently low temperatures. Further evaporation leads to the creation of a molecular BEC. After reducing the laser power by a factor of about 1000 in approximately 3 s we have observed more than 30 000 condensed molecules. During the evaporation the temperature decreases from about 100 μK to below 100 nK. We present measurements of the binding energies of 6Li p-wave Feshbach molecules formed in combinations of the |F = 1/2,mF = +1/2i (|1i) and |F = 1/2,mF = −1/2i (|2i) states. The binding energies scale linearly with magnetic field detuning for all three resonances. The relative molecular magnetic moments are found to be 113 ± 7 μK/G, 111 ± 6 μK/G and 118 ± 8 μK/G for the |1i − |1i, |1i − |2i and |2i − |2i resonances, respectively, in good agreement with theoretical predictions.
