Best practice for publishing classifications as linked data with XKOS
Creators: name: Cotton, Franck
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: XKOS is an RDF vocabulary extending SKOS and dedicated to the representation of statistical classifications. Though XKOS recently celebrated its tenth anniversary, it was officially published in 2019 by the DDI Alliance and the XKOS Working Group was formally created in 2021. Also in 2021, the production of a "Best Practice" document was started. This guide intends to provide advice on how to use XKOS for maximum interoperability and reusability, and will cover topics like the description of classifications (labels, explanatory notes, levels), the different types of correspondences, how to represent evolution over time of the different elements, etc. A number of specific topics will also be addressed, for example how to tackle multiple languages, how to publish statistical classifications as XKOS, or what kind of descriptive metadata to attach in order to maximize findability. Where appropriate, best practice rules will be formalized in the SHACL validation language, so that publishers can check if their classifications conform to the guidance. In addition, the guide will propose a list of useful tools for the production and publication of XKOS statistical classifications. The presentation will provide an overview of the XKOS specification, then detail the progress made regarding the best practice guide. Recorded version of this talk: https://youtu.be/7eWVN6unAHs

description: We have performed high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) on noncentrosymmetric Weyl semimetal candidate NbP, and determined the electronic states of both Nb- and P-terminated surfaces corresponding to the "opposite" surfaces of a polar crystal. We revealed a drastic difference in the Fermi-surface topology between the opposite surfaces, whereas the Fermi arcs on both surfaces are likely terminated at the surface projection of the same bulk Weyl nodes. Comparison of the ARPES data with our first-principles band calculations suggests notable difference in electronic structure at the Nb-terminated surface between theory and experiment. The present result opens a platform for realizing exotic quantum phenomena arising from unusual surface properties of Weyl semimetals.

description: Tensor methods are among the most prominent tools for the numerical solution of high-dimensional problems where functions of multiple variables have to be approximated. These methods exploit the tensor structure of function spaces and apply to many problems in computational science which are formulated in tensor spaces, such as problems arising in stochastic calculus, uncertainty quantification or parametric analyses. Here, we present complexity reduction methods based on low-rank approximation methods. We analyze the problem of best approximation in subsets of low-rank tensors and discuss its connection with the problem of optimal model reduction in low-dimensional reduced spaces. We present different algorithms for computing approximations of a function in low-rank formats. In particular, we present constructive algorithms which are based either on a greedy construction of an approximation (with successive corrections in subsets of low-rank tensors) or on the greedy construction of tensor subspaces (for subspace-based low-rank formats). These algorithms can be applied for tensor compression, tensor completion or for the numerical solution of equations in low-rank tensor formats. A special emphasis is given to the solution of stochastic or parameter-dependent models. Different approaches are presented for the approximation of vector-valued or multivariate functions (identified with tensors), based on samples of the functions (black-box approaches) or on the models equations which are satisfied by the functions.

description: Resolving the challenges of advancing thin-walled glass fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC) requires a novel, more automated digital design and manufacturing process that meets the requirements of present demands for thin-walled GFRC panels. The design, optimisation and manufacture of moulds using existing approaches is subject to many limitations and constraints that result in feedback loops between each stage of the design and manufacturing processes. This precludes the efficient and fully automated digital design and manufacture of complex geometry thin-walled GFRC panels. The proposed mould system overcomes many of these constraints, and when combined with new software plug-ins, will be capable of digitally resolving the limitations or constraints that interrupt each key stage of the design and manufacturing processes. These plug-ins have been characterized to provide a seamless interface between software and hardware with minimal delays caused by design feedback loops to allow a fully automated digital design process to be realised. The impact of the new mould on this novel process is analysed and further research necessary to advance the process is identified.

description: The number of galaxies at a given flux as a function of the redshift, $z$, is derived when the $z$-distance relation is non-standard. In order to compare different models, the same formalism is also applied to the standard cosmology. The observed luminosity function for galaxies of the zCOSMOS catalog at different redshifts is modelled by a new luminosity function for galaxies, which is derived by the truncated beta probability density function. Three astronomical tests, which are the photometric maximum as a function of the redshift for a fixed flux, the mean value of the redshift for a fixed flux, and the luminosity function for galaxies as a function of the redshift, compare the theoretical values of the standard and non-standard model with the observed value. The tests are performed on the FORS Deep Field (FDF) catalog up to redshift $z=1.5$ and on the zCOSMOS catalog extending beyond $z=4$. These three tests show minimal differences between the standard and the non-standard models.

description: Developing and testing a novel manufacturing method for thin-walled complex geometry glass fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC) panels is required to advance towards a more digital automated process. The experimental procedure described identified the main bottleneck during the manufacture of complex geometry thin-walled GFRC panels, namely, the time taken to make the mould and cast the GFRC panels. The primary outcome was the development and application of a new mould capable of casting complex geometry thin-walled GFRC panels with good surface quality using a manufacturing method that enables more rapid automated large-scale production. This intermediate mould was tested successfully using the sprayed GFRC method and was the key element during the development of a novel cost effective manufacturing method for complex geometry thin-walled GFRC panels. This method was used to manufacture 9 different double curved intermediate moulds for a 10m high GFRC self-supporting, thin-walled hyperbolic shell, with 12mm thick panels at the base of the structure. The completed structure show-cased the effectiveness of the novel manufacturing method by reducing the production time from an estimated 100 days to 10 days if using a single reconfigurable mould surface, with computer controlled actuators capable of forming free-formed geometries.

Low-rank tensor methods for model order reduction

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Parameter-dependent models arise in many contexts such as uncertainty quantification, sensitivity analysis, inverse problems or optimization. Parametric or uncertainty analyses usually require the evaluation of an output of a model for many instances of the input parameters, which may be intractable for complex numerical models. A possible remedy consists in replacing the model by an approximate model with reduced complexity (a so called reduced order model) allowing a fast evaluation of output variables of interest. This chapter provides an overview of low-rank methods for the approximation of functions that are identified either with order-two tensors (for vector-valued functions) or higher-order tensors (for multivariate functions). Different approaches are presented for the computation of low-rank approximations, either based on samples of the function or on the equations that are satisfied by the function, the latter approaches including projection-based model order reduction methods. For multivariate functions, different notions of ranks and the corresponding low-rank approximation formats are introduced.

description: Phonons are essential for understanding the thermal properties in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides, which limit their thermal performance for potential applications. We investigate the lattice dynamics and thermodynamic properties of MoS2, MoSe2, and WS2 by first principles calculations. The obtained phonon frequencies and thermal conductivities agree well with the measurements. Our results show that the thermal conductivity of MoS2 is highest among the three materials due to its much lower average atomic mass. We also discuss the competition between mass effect, interatomic bonding and anharmonic vibrations in determining the thermal conductivity of WS2. Strong covalent W-S bonding and low anharmonicity in WS2 are found to be crucial in understanding its much higher thermal conductivity compared to MoSe2.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt die druckgrafische Auseinandersetzung Max Slevogts (1868-1932) mit den Themenbereichen „exotischer“ und fremder Welten zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. Vordergründig geht es dabei um Buchillustrationen von Abenteuergeschichten und Märchen aus Tausendundeiner Nacht. Einleitend wird die Hervorbringung visueller Differenz aus eurozentrischer Sicht um 1900 beleuchtet und anhand von Beispielen aus dem Alltag und aus künstlerischer Sicht erklärt. Beachtung findet dabei auch Slevogts Ägyptenreise, während der er selbst zu einer von ihm illustrierten Welt in Kontakt trat und diese auf seine eigene Art und Weise interpretierte. Der Kern der Arbeit beschäftigt sich werkimmanent in chronologischer Reihenfolge mit Illustrationszyklen, welche „Indianer“ und „Orientale“ beinhalten. Behandelt werden Ali Baba und die vierzig Räuber (1903), Sindbad der Seefahrer (1908), Coranna. Eine Indianergeschichte (1908), Die Lederstrumpferzählungen (1908/1909), Hernán Cortés: Die Eroberung Mexikos (1918), Die Inseln Wak Wak (1921) und Der Waldläufer (1921). Es wird jeweils ein Überblick über die Illustrationen gegeben und Slevogts Blick auf das Fremde anhand der von ihm illustrierten Menschen und Umgebungen herausgearbeitet. Abschließend wird Slevogts Sichtweise auf fremde und „exotische“ Menschen und Kulturen mit jener seiner Zeitgenossen verglichen. Zwar lässt sich künstlerisch eine Weiterentwicklung bei Slevogt feststellen, allerdings verändert sich sein Bild des Fremden über die zwei Jahrzehnte, in denen die Illustrationen entstanden sind, kaum. Weder die verstärkte Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema noch sein Aufenthalt in Ägypten verändern seine Darstellungsweisen grundlegend. Slevogt bleibt seinem imaginierten Verständnis des „Orients“ und der „Indianerwelten“ treu und gibt sich seinen fantastischen Vorstellungen hin. Er hinterfragt historische und soziale Gegebenheiten kaum kritisch und hält sich weitestgehend an die literarischen Vorlagen.
Memory and the re-invention of place: The legacies of environmental justice in Warren County, North Carolina
Creators: name: Vasudevan, Pavithra
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: This thesis examines how toxicity is interwoven with structural racism to create a complicated historical legacy for residents of Warren County, North Carolina. Sept. 15th, 2012 marked the 30th anniversary of Warren County's historic protests against a toxic landfill. I explore how Warren County residents seek to reclaim their legacy as the `birthplace of environmental justice' and re-create a sense of place through collective memory-making practices. Warren County's example reminds us that hope is an active and engaged process of transforming the material and cultural residues of the past to shape imaginaries for the future. Reflecting the political commitment of critical / performance ethnography, this thesis is offered in the spirit of a dialogue, bridging the flows of knowledge between theory and practice, community conversations and academic debates. My work builds upon three pools of theory: scholarship on power and knowledge; political ecologies of waste and toxicity; and memory studies.

description: Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is an important enzyme, methylating arginine residues of its substrates. PRMT5 is involved in a very large number of various cellular process, and has strong ties to a plethora of health disorders. PRMT5 mediates a number of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) with diverse adaptor proteins, such as the obligate binding partner MEP50, and adaptor proteins RioK1, pICln and COPR5. Modulation of PRMT5 PPIs appears as an attractive alternative to the inhibition of the active methylation site, giving an opportunity for significantly more precise targeting of the PRMT5 functionality in cells. This thesis describes pathways for development of peptidomimetics intended for the inhibition of various PPIs formed by PRMT5 or its adaptor protein MEP50. PPI between PRMT5 and MEP50 was investigated using available structural data to design inhibitory peptides. The compounds were synthesised and evaluated using biophysical and enzymatic assays. None of the synthesised compounds showed any activity in the employed assays. In the second part, the thesis describes the analysis of a potential PPI between SUZ12 and MEP50. A number of SUZ12 fragments spanning different protein regions were synthesised and tested for the direct interaction with the PRMT5-MEP50 complex. The analysis indicated that the short SUZ12 sequence CPWCTL is responsible for the interaction with the methyltransferase complex. Further analysis with the binding sequence and control proteins showed very strong non-specific interactions. In light of the obtained results any further peptidomimetic development based on the SUZ12 sequence was not pursued. The final chapters of the thesis focus on the PPIs between PRMT5 and adaptor proteins RioK1, pICln and COPR5. A consensus sequence GQF[D/E]DA[D/E], identified in the terminal regions of the adaptor proteins, was determined to be responsible for mediating the interactions with PRMT5. Biophysical assays and X-ray crystallography allowed to characterise the binding interface and revealed that the consensus sequence binds to the non-catalytic TIM barrel domain of PRMT5. The biophysical data were then used for the design of highly stable macrocyclic PRMT5 adaptor protein interaction inhibitors. Optimisation of the molecular structure resulted in a potent cyclic PRMT5 binder (KD = 89 nM). The developed molecule could inhibit the PPI between PRMT5 and full length pICln when tested in vitro (IC50 = 654 nM). Examination of the compound activity in cellular lysates revealed a surprising selectivity towards the inhibition of the PRMT5 interactions with RioK1 over the interactions with pICln. The developed compound did not supress the enzymatic activity of the methyltransferase and did not inhibit the interaction with MEP50.

description: The literature review for this research work has shown that there is a substantial body of research in the field of GFRC with a focus on its material behaviour. Advances and innovation in GFRC for application in the building industry was missing, so this work has advanced the material research considerably by taking the latest state-of-the-art material research and applying it to fabrication processes in the building industry and aligning it with today’s architectural demands for complex geometry thin-walled GFRC. Initial research identified state-of-the-art production technologies, and advantages and disadvantages were collated to identify the manufacturing method optimally suited to the production of complex geometry thin-walled GFRC panels. The conclusions of this research work should enable designers to realise complex geometry building envelopes at a lower cost using thin-walled GFRC panels with the high degree of complexity demanded, while providing the industry with solutions that advance the processes of manufacturing thin-walled complex geometry GFRC.

We take the lead to explore the research on algorithmically recognizing named entities in literary Chinese for historical studies with language-model based and conditional-random-field based methods, and extend our work to mining the document structures in historical documents. Practical evaluations were conducted with texts that were extracted from more than 220 volumes of local gazetteers (Difangzhi). Difangzhi is a huge and the single most important collection that contains information about officers who served in local government in Chinese history. Our methods performed very well on these realistic tests. Thousands of names and addresses were identified from the texts. A good portion of the extracted names match the biographical information currently recorded in the China Biographical Database (CBDB) of Harvard University, and many others can be verified by historians and will become as new additions to CBDB.

Year: 2021

description: StatConverter is an open source alternative to the well known, commercial software StatTransfer. It is built as a graphical user interface on top of R, as an ElectronJS application under Node.js and it is available from the list of software tools provided by the Romanian Social Data Archive (RODA). This is a cross-platform tool which needs R to be installed on the local computer, and a series of R packages among which the dedicated DDIwR (DDI with R). This package uses the well known package haven written by Hadley Wickham at RStudio, which in turn uses the open source C library ReadStat by Evan Miller. Apart from being a wrapper around haven, the package DDIwR offers additional functionality by using DDI as a conversion platform between the various statistical software. One other unique feature of DDIwR that no other software offers (including the commercial ones) is the treatment of missing values, converting those in the native format for each software. This is an automatic procedure scanning all variables' metadata for information about missing values, and creates a dictionary for consistently converting missing values with the same codes.

description: A new approach for determining effective mechanical bondline properties using a combined experimental-numerical modal analysis technique is proposed. After characterizing clear spruce wood boards, an adhesive layer is applied to the boards surfaces. The shift of the eigenfrequencies resulting from the adhesive layer together with information on the bondline geometry can then be used to inversely determine the mechanical properties of the adhesive layer using Finite Element Models. The calculated values for clear wood as well as for the adhesive layer lie within reasonable ranges, thus demonstrating the methods potential.
Investigation of the Methylation Status of FGF2 gene in Periodontal Tissues as Determinants of Healing Response after Implant Surgery
Creators: name: Whitley, Travis
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Periodontal wound healing is a complex process involving a series of interactions of growth factors, including FGF-2. Previous studies have suggested that the FGF2 gene may be down-regulated in diseased periodontal tissues. Aberrant gene expression in smokers and diabetics has also been reported. The aims of this study were to determine the association of FGF2 methylation level with wound healing after implant surgery and the association of smoking and diabetes with FGF2 methylation. Thirty-four included subjects were distributed into control, smoking and diabetic groups. During the implant surgery, gingival tissue biopsies were collected for real-time PCR analysis. This study demonstrated that FGF-2 hyper-methylation and associated gene down-regulation were associated with smoking status and diabetes.

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Funktion verschiedener Bibelbezüge im Romanwerk Theodor Fontanes untersucht. Dabei wird die These vertreten, dass Fontanes Verweise auf biblische Texte nicht etwa bloß als theologische Positionierungen zu lesen seien, sondern dass er die Bibel als Speicher an kulturellem Wissen in Form von Narrativen, Personen, Geflügelten Worten etc. begreift, den er in seiner Leserschaft voraussetzen kann und durch den er Themen wie Normativität und Diskursivität mit einer besonderen Tiefe in der Spannung von Text und Prätext verhandeln kann. Im Zentrum der Untersuchung stehen dabei Verwendungen von Bibelbezügen als hochkommunikative Diskursschablonen für poetologische Selbstreflexionen sowie für politische oder frömmigkeits-praktische Kontroversen.
description: The aim of this treatise is to discuss various functions of references to biblical writings which can be observed in Theodor Fontane’s novels. Analyzing various references and allusions (especially in “Grete Minde”, “Quitt” and “Der Stechlin”), it is maintained that Fontane does not use bible-references as theological statements, but with a wide range of scopes and functions: Providing sujés, situations and constellations which are well known by the typical 19th century audience, references to biblical texts can be used to discuss topics like normativity and discursivity as well as to offer a pattern for political and religious discurses or poetological reflections.

description: Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) as a material has been developed over the last 50 years into the material it is today, using glass fibres for reinforcement, (1) (2) (3) (4). Since the development of GFRC, it has mostly been used as a cladding material for buildings as thin-wall GFRC panels. However, the history of thin-walled panels (reinforced with asbestos fibres) can be traced back to 1901, where Ludwig Hatschek (5) developed the method known today as the Hatschek Method (6). The product is better known as “Eternit”. However, the production method used asbestos fibres for reinforcement and due to their related health and safety issues (7), alternative fibre materials were sought such as glass fibres used in the yacht-building industry and were a suitable substitute. Thin-walled GFRC was very popular during the early days of its development and landmark buildings, such as the 30 Cannon Street building London, (formally Credit Lyonnais), by Whinney, Son & Austen Hall in 1974-7 (8), and the UOP Fragrance Factory in Tadworth UK, by Rogers and Piano in 1973-4 (9), were clad with this material. Thin-walled GFRC cladding in the 1980s and 1990 was being used predominately as decorative cladding (10), however, for the 2008 Expo in Zaragoza, Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) used thin-walled GFRC as cladding on the Expo bridge and for the 2010 world cup in South Africa, HOK architects designed the Soccer City stadium with thin-walled GFRC (11). Both projects utilized flat thin-walled GFRC panels, shown in Figure 1.1 and Figure 1.2.

description: Sharing machine actionable metadata increases the discoverability of scientific studies and promotes archival work. Metadata harvesting is a way to share such metadata on a large scale and to a wide group of interested parties and is typically achieved automatically with minimal human interaction.

 CESSDA is developing a metadata aggregator service which will expose the metadata records in CESSDA Data Catalogue for re-harvesting via OAI-PMH. Together with the Catalogue, the aggregator will provide a comprehensive discovery solution for CESSDA Service Providers' metadata records. The aggregator will make records available in DDI-C, OAI-DC and Datacite. Initial targets are B2Find, OpenAIRE and Triple catalogues. The aggregator features OAI-sets to group records based on their originating archive and provides provenance information to track the origin of each record.

 CESSDA and FSD partnered up to develop the aggregator system. FSD had prior knowledge of OAI-PMH and machine actionable metadata standards, in fact the aggregator software is based on FSD's Kuha2. While FSD is responsible of providing the development work, CESSDA is committed to operating the software and maintaining its runtime environment.

 The presentation will outline the purpose of the software, main functionality, status of the project and immediate plans. Recorded version of this talk: https://youtu.be/1d8Pqe_Lz-I
Adjoint master equation for Quantum Brownian Motion

description: Quantum brownian motion is a fundamental model for a proper understanding of open quantum systems in different contexts such as chemistry, condensed matter physics, bio-physics and opto- mechamics. In this paper we propose a novel approach to describe this model. We provide an exact and analytic equation for the time evolution of the operators, and we show that the corresponding equation for the states is equivalent to well-known results in literature. The dynamics is expressed in terms of the spectral density, regardless the strength of the coupling between the system and the bath. Our allows to compute the time evolution of physically relevant quantities in a much easier way than previous formulations allow to. An example is explicitly studied.

Introduction to state‑of‑the‑art thin-walled GFRC

description: Thin-walled fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) elements are being adapted for large scale buildings with complex geometry envelopes. The current production methods, developed in the initial stages of glass fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC) elements in the 1970s, are limited when striving to produce more complex shaped FRC elements. The limitations of the FRC elements in terms of material properties and surface quality are described for these current state of the art production methods. New production methods and casting techniques are proposed that will advance the application of thin-walled FRC for buildings with complex geometry envelopes. Evaluation of the current state of the art production methods concluded that the sprayed GFRC methods are currently the most flexible solution which has the greatest potential for adapting the method to the requirements of complex geometry buildings. Further development of thin-walled GFRC elements would be possible by developing a mould system for complex geometry panels with an edge-return, which can utilise glass fibre reinforced ultra high performance concrete (GF-UHPC) with a vacuum technology, it would be possible to produce complex geometry GFRC elements with an increased material performance and yet still meet the aesthetic requirements of minimal visual defects in the surface of thin-walled elements.

On the role of dynamical quark mass generation in chiral symmetry breaking in QCD
Creators: name: Sazdjian, H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The phenomenon of dynamical quark mass generation is studied in QCD within the framework of a gauge invariant formalism. An exact relationship is established between the equation satisfied by the scalar part of the two-point gauge invariant quark Green's function and the quark-antiquark bound state equation in the chiral limit. A possible nontrivial solution of the former yields a massless pseudoscalar solution of the bound state equation with vanishing total momentum. The result is also corroborated by the corresponding Ward-Takahashi identity. The problem is explicitly solved in two-dimensional QCD in the large-$N_c$ limit.

Kristalline Siliziumsynthese auf Quartzsubstrat 'c-Si on Quartz'

description: Kristalline Silizumdünnschichten auf Glassubstrat als Waferäquivalent ist für die kristalline Silizium- Photovoltaik die attraktivste Möglichkeit, die energieintensive Siliziumproduktion auf eine geringe Materialmenge zu reduzieren. Allerdings erwies sich die Prozessierung von kristallinen Silizium auf Glassubstrat zumindest für eine gute elektronische Qualität bislang als sehr aufwändig. Als Ergebnis des DBU-Förderprojekt Az 32945 'c-Si on Quartz' gelingt nun erstmals eine poly- bis multikristalline Siliziumherstellung auf einem Glas-Substrat, sogar ohne Nachbehandlung durch Rekristallisationsmaßnahmen. Die Kristallinität übertrifft den bisherigen Stand der Technik mit deutlich größeren Korngrößen. Dabei besteht die Materialressource für den aluminothermischen Reduktions- Prozess nur aus Floatglas und einer dünnen Schicht Aluminium. Ein effizienterer Prozess ist kaum vorstellbar. Dass dieser neuartige Syntheseprozess unterhalb der Aluminium-Schmelztemperatur durch ein Zusammenwirken von oxidierten Grenzflächen zu einer Flüssigphase initialisiert wird, ist eine weitere grundlegende neue Erkenntnis. Die Technische Universität Braunschweig hat daher bereits innerhalb der Projektlaufzeit Schutzrechte für unser neues Verfahren angemeldet (DRN): 2016091314440900DE. Die Bildung einer möglicherweise nm-dünnen Flüssigphase unter Pressdruck und Hitze an der Grenzfläche eines oxidierten Metalls zu einer Substratoberfläche ist dabei nicht außergewöhnlich. Sie ist beispielsweise Grundlage für die Verbindung von Kupfer auf Keramik-Substrat zur Herstellung von Leiterbahn-Platinen für die Leistungselektronik (DCB-Prozess). In diesem Prozess ist die Abstimmung von Material, Druck und Temperatur entscheidend für die initiale Phase - auch bei unserer kristallinen Silizium-Synthese. Der anschließende Prozessparameter-Verlauf regelt dann die Reaktionskinetik dieser kristallbildenden Festkörpersynthese. In 'c-Si on Quartz' wurde gezeigt, dass die Kristallinität des synthetisierten Siliziums so unvorhergesehen perfekt ist, dass die Voraussetzung für bestes elektronisches Layermaterial gegeben ist. Jetzt ist der nächste wichtige Schritt, eine für die halbleitertechnische Anwendung prozessierbare zusammenhängend homogene Fläche kristallinen Siliziums zu erzeugen, um damit die technische Einsetzbarkeit zu belegen.

description: Based on the standard Skyrme energy density functionals together with the extended Thomas-Fermi approach, the properties of symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter represented in two macroscopic-microscopic mass formulas: Lublin-Strasbourg nuclear drop energy (LSD) formula and Weizsäcker-Skyrme (WS*) formula, are extracted through matching the energy per particle of finite nuclei. For LSD and WS*, the obtained incompressibility coefficients of symmetric nuclear matter are $K_\infty=230 \pm 11$ MeV and $235\pm 11$ MeV, respectively. The slope parameter of symmetry energy at saturation density is $L=41.6\pm 7.6$ MeV for LSD and $51.5\pm 9.6$ MeV for WS*, respectively, which is compatible with the liquid-drop analysis of Lattimer and Lim [ApJ. \textbf{771}, 51 (2013)]. The density dependence of the mean-field isoscalar and isovector effective mass, and the neutron-proton effective masses splitting for neutron matter are simultaneously investigated. The results are generally consistent with those from the Skyrme Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations and nucleon optical potentials, and the standard deviations are large and increase rapidly with density. A better constraint for the effective mass is helpful to reduce uncertainties of the depth of the mean-field potential.

description: Glass fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC) elements have become a sought after cladding material since their introduction as rain screen cladding for buildings. To advance GFRC for a range of complex geometry building envelopes this also requires advances in existing moulding techniques for thin-walled GFRC elements. To do so it is necessary to define the current state of thin-walled GFRC elements and the constraints and limits placed on them by existing production techniques. This paper identifies the current architectural and aesthetic requirements of thin-walled GFRC elements and maps their range of complexity, from 1-D to 3-D, to the limits of the most appropriate production method. This will inform guidelines for the future design development of thin-walled GFRC and enable an innovative approach to further advance the moulding techniques for thin-walled GFRC elements for a variety of complex geometry building envelopes. The paper concludes on which further steps need to be taken to advance thin-walled glass fibre reinforced concrete for tomorrow’s architectural buildings envelopes with complex geometries.
