description: Sorption hysteresis of wood (spruce) is modeled using a modified Preisach-Mayergoyz (PM) approach taking into account independently water film adsorption and capillary condensation. The PM model is based on the independent domain theory (Everett 1964), which subdivides the material into domains or sorption sites that fill/unfill independently of each other. Different reasons for the filling and unfilling of a domain at different vapour pressure exist. First, for cylindrical pores, capillary condensation results in a cylindrical interface between the adsorbed film and the vapour phase, while evaporation/desorption is associated with the formation of a hemispherical meniscus. Due to a difference in film thickness, hysteresis exists. Further, in porous materials forming a complex network, so-called ink bottle pores show a pore entry radius smaller than the radius of the pore chamber resulting in hysteresis. A change in moisture content in the porous material is the outcome of the behavior of an assemblage of different domains. An efficient way to represent these domains is to map the domains on the so-called the PM space (Preisach-Mayergoyz), where they are characterized by a PM distribution. Integration in the PM space over the filled domains leads then to prediction of the according moisture content. However, the identification of the PM distribution is an ill-posed problem.

In this paper, the PM model is modified by considering capillary condensation hysteretic and film forming process non-hysteretic. To simplify the identification process, the PM distribution is formulated in the integrated PM domain (IPM). A new description of the IPM distribution function is introduced, which is determined from main adsorption and primary desorption curves. The parameter identification is discussed and it is found that main adsorption and primary desorption data are necessary. It is found that although film adsorption is modeled non hysteretic, the moisture content due to film forming becomes hysteretic due to the hysteretic behaviour of the capillary condensation process.

The model is used to analyze the moisture content variations of a specimen of wood exposed to different relative humidity conditions. Starting from equilibrium at 54%RH, the conditions are increased to 79.5%RH for 13 days and then decreased to 54%RH for 15 days, followed by daily cycles between these two values. The water vapour diffusion coefficient is considered to depend on the moisture content. The model demonstrates a good agreement with experimental data for the longitudinal, radial and tangential directions.

The Role of Interferon-inducible Protein 207 in Innate Immunity
Creators: name: Moran, Eileen A
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: The Aim2-like receptors (ALRs) are a family of proteins found in most mammalian species that have several roles in innate immunity. ALRs detect pathogen or self-nucleic acids found in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Through binding nucleic acids, ALRs initiate innate immune signaling pathways which activate production of type I interferons or inflammasome assembly and proinflammatory cell death. During infection, these responses help the host control pathogen replication. The ALRs are encoded at a single genetic locus; however, the number of ALR genes varies in different species. For example, depending on the strain, mice have 13-16 Alr genes. We investigated the Alr loci in three inbred mouse strains, C57BL/6, DBA/2J, and 129P2. We defined the composition of genes in the Alr loci of these mice and identified a highly polymorphic Alr, Ifi207, among the three strains. We found that Ifi207 has a large, unique repeat region that differs in its sequence and length in inbred laboratory and wild mice. To test the function of IFI207 as an innate immune sensor and to determine the function of the repeat region, we used overexpression, knockdown, and knockout mouse studies. We found that the IFI207 repeat region is required for stabilization of STING, an innate immune adaptor downstream of several DNA sensors such as cGAS, IFI16, IFI203, and DDX41 that coordinates innate immune responses to foreign DNA. First, we determined that IFI207 proteins with more repeats more effectively bound and stabilized STING. When IFI207 was depleted, STING-dependent responses to cGAMP, nucleic acids, and murine leukemia virus (MLV) were diminished. Finally, we showed that IFI207 controls MLV infection in vivo. These studies suggest that selective pressures such as those from pathogens like MLV may have caused the expansion and diversification of ALR genes in mice and other mammalian species.

Hybrid Additive Manufacturing for Metal Component Repair: An Economic Feasibility Study

description: The global trend of moving towards more sustainable business practices is involving the manufacturing industry as well, which shows increasing interest in remanufacturing practices. Additive manufacturing technologies can be an enabler for this shift as they are suitable both from the engineering and the economic standpoints. Although not fully mature, the research regarding the quality aspects of the possible additive manufacturing applications is abundant, but studies regarding the economic advantages at the supply chain level are mostly qualitative. This thesis aims at filling this gap through proposing a theoretical model to quantitatively assess the remanufacturing costs and to study the configuration of the supply chain built on the repair activity enabled by the hybrid additive manufacturing technology. The case of the restoration of metal industrial components in the continental U.S. is considered, as it is an already existing and fast-growing market that allows to make the case for large-scale adoption of the mentioned technologies. The unitary reparation costs are assessed for different component classes of dif ferent materials, their cost structure is provided, and sensitivity analysis is performed over the most impactful parameters. Subsequently, the optimal supply chain configuration is studied un der different conditions, resulting into the evidence that a decentralized, territorially widespread presence of remanufacturing facilities is not only feasible but economically encouraged

description: In recent years there has been a development of exergy analysis as a tool for exploring the efficiency of the components and the whole energy system for a building. An important part of this development has taken place within IEA ECBPS Annex 37 Low Exergy Systems for Heating and Cooling of Buildings that is finished and Annex 49, Low Exergy Systems for High-Performance Built Environments and Communities, that is ongoing. The work has included modeling components and system parts as an input/output operator. In the present work the analysis is broken down into a continuous modeling of the exergy destruction or the entropy production for field problems where mass and heat flow takes place. The paper gives formulation of the exergy destruction and implementation of this formulation into a standard finite element software. The use of this methodology is demonstrated for steady state two dimensional heat flow in thermal bridges and combined heat and mass flow for hybrid constructions for heating and cooling in buildings. A discussion follows on the relevance of the gained information for understanding the nature of the components and to develop more effective solutions. For components with given input and output the exergy destruction can be calculated and compared to the integrated exergy destruction from the field model. The relation between integrated exergy destruction from the finite element calculation and the exergy destruction based on the in and output values can be used as an indicator for the convergence or the quality of the solution. This could prove useful even for calculations where  exergy analysis is not the primary target.

description: Field measurements of the indoor climate have been carried out in 70 detached houses with heavyweight external walls in Finland during the years 2005-2007. The temperature and relative humidity (RH) were continuously measured in bedrooms for each house at 1-h intervals over a 1-year period. Indoor climate was measured and analysed in detached houses and results were compared according to envelope construction types. The studied houses had different types of external walls: autoclaved aerated concrete, lightweight expanded clay aggregate, bricks, concrete blocks, concrete elements, and timber logs.

To study the stability of RH and absolute humidity, the amplitudes of 24 hours, i.e., the difference between daily maximum and minimum values, were calculated. The studied houses were divided into different groups according to wall material: timber log, autoclaved aerated concrete, and other materials. Results of this study show how structures influence the indoor climate under real use in houses.

description: Airtightness of single-family houses and apartments has been studied during the past five years in Finland in two large-scale studies by Tampere University of Technology and Helsinki University of Technology. In this paper results from 170 single-family houses and 56 apartments are presented. The mean air change rate of 100 timber-framed houses was 3.9 1/h, 19 log houses 5.9 1/h, 10 AAC block houses 1.5 1/h, 10 LWAC block houses 3.2 1/h, 10 brick houses 2.8 1/h, 10 shuttering concrete block houses 1.6 1/h and 10 concrete element houses 2.6 1/h. The mean air change rate of 56 apartments was 1.5 1/h.

It was noticed that with timber-framed single-family houses at least the year the building was built, the method of construction and the material seem to have an influence on the level of air tightness. Masonry and concrete element houses had on average lower air change rate than timber-framed houses and log houses. Fifteen of these houses had a concrete ceiling structure. In these houses, even thought the number of them is relatively small, the airtightness was a bit better than in houses with timber framed ceiling structure. The mean n50-value of log houses was higher than in the other house groups. Log houses with airtight seam insulation material were more airtight than houses with conventional seam insulation material (4.1 1/h vs. 7.9 1/h). Four log houses with additional internal insulation layer had an air change rate of 5.8 1/h. The apartments in concrete element buildings were on average more airtight than apartments in timber-framed multi-storey houses. The n50-values in apartments were in general lower than in single-family houses.

In addition to structural solutions, airtightness depends on construction quality. In this study good airtightness, i.e. acceptable according to standards in Scandinavia, was achieved with many different structural solutions

description: More and more buildings are designed with displacement ventilation (DV) systems for the cooling and the ventilation of their rooms. DV systems are actually known to lead to energy savings and excellent indoor air quality conditions compared with mixing ventilation systems. The main drawback of the DV systems is the possibility for high vertical temperature gradient and/or cold draft effects. Experimental and numerical studies on DV have led to the development of general models and guidelines for the design of such systems. However, a review of recent literature showed that there is a need for the validation and improvement of those models. Especially, the performance of DV systems in cold climate conditions has to be better understood. Experimental data is needed also to validate the models in heating conditions.

Whole field methods, such as Infrared thermography (IRT) and Particle image velocimetry (PIV), have been used in laboratory for the detailed study of clear zones, close to diffusers. These methods allow for the visualization and detailed measurement of temperature and velocity fields. This paper presents IRT and PIV measurements taken in situ. Located in Montreal, the building investigated is equipped with an underfloor air distribution system (UFAD) operated in a displacement mode. The images, recorded during winter conditions, have shown different effects of perimeter conditions on the air stratification and flow in comparison with conditions found in the center of the buildings. Taking into consideration the characteristics of the building envelope, the needs for perimeter heating devices to supply the heating loads was also assessed.

description: ``Oversimplified'' and ``simplified'' methods based on true coincidence summing effect used in uncomplicated determination of the photo-peak efficiency of the semiconductor High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detector system are suggested and verified. The methods and calibrated $^{60}$Co radioactive source may be used to commission any HPGe detector to use during potential criticality event. The determined accuracy of the semiconductor HPGe detector system using this method is a few percent (for the detector system used in this study it was $\simeq$8\% for oversimplified and $\simeq$5\% for simplified methods accordingly) reasonable, expected, and good enough to use for estimation of neutron dose from irradiated human blood in a potential criticality event. Moreover, if one can experimentally deduce the photo-peak efficiency for $^{60}$Co 1333 keV $γ$-ray line using the suggested methods, then with a few percent accuracy this efficiency could be also used for 1369 keV $γ$-ray line in the decay of $^{24}$Na isotope.

description: Source control by on-site retention and infiltration of stormwater is a sustainable and proven alternative to classical drainage methods. Unfortunately sedimentary particles and pollutants from drained surfaces cause clogging and endanger soil and groundwater during long-term operation of infiltration devices. German water authorities recommend the use of infiltration devices such as swales or swale-trench-systems. Direct infiltration by underground facilities such as pipes, trenches or sinks without pre-treatment of runoff is generally not permitted. Problems occur with runoff from metal roofs, traffic areas and industrial sites. However, due to site limitations, underground systems are often the only feasible option. To overcome this situation, a pollution control pit was developed with a hydrodynamic separator and a multi-stage filter made of coated porous concrete. The system treats runoff at source and protects soil, groundwater and receiving waterways. Typically, more than 90 % of the pollutants such as sedimentary particles, hydrocarbons and heavy metals can be removed. Filters have been developed to treat even higher polluted stormwater loads from metal roofs and industrial sites. The treatment process is based on sedimentation, filtration, adsorption and chemical precipitation. Sediments are trapped in a special chamber within the pit and can be removed easily. Other pollutants are captured in the concrete filter upstream of the sediment separator chamber. Filters can be easily replaced.

description: Although various numerical methods were used to simulate real floods occurring in cities, the validation of the models was never accurate because of the lack of data about location and event description and about observation for validation. In order to check the capacities of our 2-dimensional shallow water equations model to simulate an urban flood, we then decided to simulate numerically an experimental event with well known characteristics and accurate flow measurements. The physical model presented in (Ishigaki T. et al., 2003) represents the flooding of the city center of Kyoto in Japan due to an overflow from the Kamo river. The 2-dimensional numerical simulation of this event was then set up and the experimental and computed data were compared. It appears that the event was calculated quite fairly in terms of flow depth and flow rates in the streets and in terms of timing. However, some discrepancies appear between the measurements and the numerical results, mostly due to some topographical local uncertainties and to the capacities of the equations to model the complex flows in the crossroads.
A Collective Case Study Of Greek Heritage Language Schooling in the United States

description: This qualitative collective case study includes six families (10 parents and 10 students) in sociocultural contexts of Archdiocesan Greek heritage language Afternoon/Saturday schools in the United States. Families were categorized according to their enrollment status (currently enrolled, pulled-out, and graduated) which allowed varied perspectives to emerge as to how students and parents experience Greek schools, with specific attention to language learning and learning through language. Through analysis, two themes emerged: a) School maintains language, and culture, religion, and identities through language and affords opportunities to form friendships that build community; and b) Instructional approaches for language learning influence learning experiences. Results indicate that generational and cultural changes over time and traditional instructional approaches, influence the level of priority placed on Greek school attendance. Overall, Greek school experiences initially begin as positive, and become more negative as families progress through grades. These negative sentiments stem from the academic aspect of language learning through traditional instructional approaches. The research study offers implications for school reform at a local level for individual schools and classrooms in relation to: a) teaching, specifically curriculum and instructional development informed by sociocultural theory and a learner-centered approach; and b) school organization and administration for teacher preparation, professional development, and funding. It also explores implications for future educational research through: a) comparative studies of regional Greeks schools and other ethnic schools in the United States; b) heritage language research on the effects of generational changes on instructional approaches and content learning, and homeschool partnerships for meeting families’ needs; c) assessment and evaluation of curriculum and instruction; and d) a course of study designed at a higher educational institution, specifically, for teaching Greek as a heritage language in the United States.

description: There is a definite need for full-scale applications on which to judge the efficiency of novel processes for local treatment of combined sewer overflows (CSO). Three full-scale facilities are constructed to study typical types of CSO discharges: 1) Discharges from small upstream catchments to small watercourses, 2) Discharges from larger catchments to larger surface water, and 3) Discharges to marine coastal waters where bathing is permitted. The paper outlines the proposed technologies and discusses the preliminary results of an on-going measurement program. The treatment efficiencies of the technologies are tested with equal focus on both chemical and biological parameters because CSOs are also a human health issue.

description: Intense competition in the mobile apps market means it is important to maintain high levels of app reliability to avoid losing users. Yet despite its importance, app reliability is underexplored in the research literature. To address this need, we identify, analyse, and classify the state-of-the-art in the field of mobile apps' reliability through a systematic mapping study. From the results of such a study, researchers in the field can identify pressing research gaps, and developers can gain knowledge about existing solutions, to potentially leverage them in practice. We found 87 relevant papers which were then analysed and classified based on their research focus, research type, contribution, research method, study settings, data, quality attributes and metrics used. Results indicate that there is a lack of research on understanding reliability with regard to context-awareness, self-healing, ageing and rejuvenation, and runtime event handling. These aspects have rarely been studied, or if studied, there is limited evaluation. We also identified several other research gaps including the need to conduct more research in real-world industrial projects. Furthermore, little attention has been paid towards quality standards while conducting research. Outcomes here show numerous opportunities for greater research depth and breadth on mobile app reliability.

description: During the last years practitioners of urban drainage has complained that they felt that surcharging occurred more frequently. Therefore a study was initiated focussing on the variations in extreme rainfall during the last two decades. In Denmark a total of 41 rain gauges with a high resolution in time and volume have an observation period close to 20 years. The rainfall observed at these gauges was selected for this study. Three variables were analyzed for statistically significant trends during the observation period: Maximum average 10 minute intensity, maximum average 6 hour intensity and the total volume of individual rain events. For the 10 minute maximum intensity there is a statistically significant trend towards more extreme and more frequently occurring rain storm. The trend is pronounced in the eastern part of the country and below statistically significant levels in the western part of the country. For the 6 hour maximum intensity and total volume of events the trends are less pronounced. The findings are confirmed by comparison to physically based climate models and studies based on large regions.

Over 71 percent went to dense residential use, 13 percent to open residential use, and smaller percentages to commercial, industrial, recreational, and airport uses. Over 75 percent of the land urbanized had been in cropland and less than 20 percent in pasture and other grassland. Only in the Pacific Northwest were substantial acreages of forest land taken. Very little urbanization came from idle land--cropland apparently went directly into urban use. The coefficients developed in the study appear to provide a general basis for projecting urban land uses. The average relationship of 0.07 acre per capita could be useful as a general guide for planning large heterogeneous areas. More detailed analysis considering additional variables would be needed for detailed planning, and to take account of such factors as local regulations. topography, and stage of urbanization.

description: Conversational User Interfaces such as Voice Assistants are hugely popular. Yet they are designed to be monolingual by default, lacking support for, or sensitivity to, the bilingual dialogue experience. In this provocation paper, we highlight the language production challenges faced in VA interaction for bilingual users. We argue that, by facilitating phenomena seen in bilingual interaction, such as code-switching, we can foster a more inclusive and improved user experience for bilingual users. We also explore ways that this might be achieved, through the support of multiple language recognition as well as being sensitive to the preferences of code-switching in speech output.

description: In combined sewer systems an enhanced treatment of combined sewer overflow (CSO) is required, when augmented water quality requirements are demanded or conventional CSO treatment does not meet environmental quality standards. Constructed wetlands (CWs) have become the most common method to provide enhanced treatment of CSO in Germany. As simulation models are an important tool in planning urban drainage systems, enhanced treatment devices need to be implemented in the computing procedures. A new module for balancing constructed wetlands in long-term pollution load simulations was implemented in the simulation model KOSMO. The module potentiates both the investigation of annually emitted volumes and loads and the estimation of operational reliability (loading situation, inundation and dry periods) of constructed wetlands. Removal processes within the filter layer of constructed wetlands are described in a simplified way. The model was applied in a simulation study for a large catchment. Long-term simulations show that the model produces solid and adequate results. The results indicate e.g. that the CWs are a very effective measure to reduce emitted CSO loads and concentrations for the investigated catchment.

Implementing Energy Frame calculations in the integrated design process for optimal building design

description: The aim of the paper is to investigate the possibilities of combining the current Danish Energy Frame calculation based on the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive with an hourly building energy simulation. The paper will analyze the early phases of the building design process where the first sketches are drawn and the energy frame is calculated. As part of this process there are many possibilities of optimizing the building to achieve low energy use and good thermal indoor climate. However presently, the tools that can be used for this optimization cannot at the same time do the energy frame calculation. Therefore the paper will describe a method for combining these two calculations. In practise the BuildDesk Expert program, which can be used to calculated the Danish Energy Frame, will be used together with the program IDBuild, which a tool for optimization of the energy use and indoor climate, to design an office building. The conclusion of the paper is that the method presented here can be used to ensure that the energy consumption can be kept low at the same time that the building can have good indoor climate.

description: Sloped roofs are traditional recommended to be ventilated. The mainly reason for the ventilation layer is to avoid ice building and icicles on the roof eaves is to avoid ice building which can give leakages and damage the roof construction. Icicles also can fall down and hurt people staying near the building. SINTEF Building and Infrastructure has performed both laboratory testing, field studies and calculations to discover if sloped turfed roofs on continuous heated buildings can be build without a separate ventilation layer. The compact turfed roofs are built up from top with turf, insulation board of rock wool, sheets for roofing of bitumen, plastic or rubber and in the bottom wooden board as ceiling.

The water absorption in two different turf products is measured in a laboratory test. The thermal resistance, water absorption and water vapour transmission of the insulation boards are measured.

Two different field studies are performed. The moisture content in the insulation boards in turfed roofs on three different holiday cottages are measured. The ice building and icicles on the roof on a continuous heated holiday cottage is studied through one winter.

The design thermal conductivity for the insulation board used in inverted compact turfed roofs is determined. The risk of ice building on compact sloped turfed roofs is calculated. The calculations are done for continuous heated buildings with different outdoor temperatures and different snow depth during one winter season.

description: The present paper describes where sensing and detoxification devices could be installed to get maximum efficiency in an effort to warn and protect citizens against surprise attacks by toxic agents in public buildings. The release of toxic agents may be outdoors, in a single indoor spot or their origin may be diffuse.

This work is part of WP3 in the NANOSECURE integrated project supported by the European Union’s Sixth Framework Programme.

In indoor spaces people are highly vulnerable to attack from toxic agents introduced by terrorists. Nanosecure aims for maximum public security by developing yet unavailable systems that can be widely deployed for “early warning” and detoxification. Nanotechnology promises sensing and detoxification with far higher efficiency than current methods do. The NANOSECURE project will integrate the technologies into combined protection systems that are intelligent, sensitive, flexible, compact and inexpensive, making them suitable for installation in major situations, e.g. airports, communal buildings, cinemas and theatres.

The following dimensions will be described: Time course of pollutant spreading and removal, ventilation rate, ventilation system, operation of windows, space volume, ceiling height, pollutant source characteristic, toxicity of agent, functionality of air cleaners, sensor location and occupant density.

This will be based on analysis of the following scenarios: Large airtight space with dominant air change by mechanical ventilation (airport departure terminal),  large less airtight space (Central train station), underground space (metro station), very densely populated space (theatre), less densely populated space (sports arena).

For sensing and detoxification devices to be effective and preferably ahead of situation, this paper will point out strategic areas where to integrate these devices into the building space and in its immediate surroundings. Examples of deployment of sensing devises may be in exhaust and inlet openings of ventilation systems, in openings as windows and doors and along conveyer belts. The paper will also list typical figures for ventilation rates, air filtration, heat and moisture loads etc in the afore-mentioned scenarios.
