description: Les tendances du marché ont évolué de l'utilisation d'ingrédients en plus grandes quantités pour obtenir des effets spécifiques dans le pain (comme l’utilisation de la graisse pour le moelleux de la mie) à l'utilisation d'additifs à des niveaux beaucoup plus bas. Aujourd'hui, l'utilisation d'additifs est devenue une pratique courante dans l'industrie de la boulangerie. Les principaux objectifs de leur utilisation sont d'améliorer les propriétés de manipulation de la pâte, d'augmenter la qualité du pain frais et de prolonger la durée de conservation. Dans ce but, un grand nombre d'additifs de structures chimiques différentes sont utilisés. Les principales classes d'additifs utilisées dans la panification sont : les oxydants/réducteurs, les émulsifiants, les hydrocolloïdes et les conservateurs alors que les principaux auxiliaires technologiques utilisés sont les enzymes. Récemment, suite à la demande croissante des produits de boulangeries exempte d’additifs chimiques, les boulangers sont de plus en plus intéressés par l’utilisation de composés "clean label" en particulier les enzymes (améliorants technologiques) et les conservateurs naturels.

Fluid flow properties of carbonate rocks under simulated in-situ conditions: Implications for geothermal reservoir quality

description: Medium-depth and deep geothermal systems hosted in carbonate rocks are amongst the most promising geothermal resources in the world due to their favorable geological and stress- and temperature-sensitive petrophysical heterogeneity. In general, structural heterogeneities such as natural fractures, karstifications, cavities or entire fracture networks mainly dominate geothermal fluid flows and storages and, thus, dictate the reservoir quality. However, especially for carbonate reservoirs, it is even more complex, as a profound understanding of the links between diagenetic processes, facies, deformations, porosities, and fluid flow properties is essential to estimate the distribution of reservoir quality. This assessment is further complicated by the spatially and temporally varying pressure and temperature conditions (e.g., recharge and discharge of geothermal systems). In the wake of Bavaria’s (southern Germany) success story in exploiting the geothermal systems hosted in deep carbonates, there are extensive investigations to determine the geothermal potential of Devonian carbonates in North Rhine-Westphalia (western Germany). The geothermal potential of these Devonian carbonates strongly depends upon how and to what extent the tectonically influenced burial history and diagenetic processes have modified the pore network and promoted heterogeneities such as fractures and karstifications. In our triaxial experiments, we examined the influence of in-situ stress and temperature and their histories as well as the influence of brittle faulting on porosities and hydraulic properties of different Devonian carbonate rocks. From analogue outcrops limestone, dolomitic limestone, dolostone, and fractured carbonates were sampled and petrophysically investigated. The stresses simulated covered both hydrostatic and triaxial states. Furthermore, the influence of elevated temperature and stress on the hydraulic properties of samples triaxially compressed at effective confining pressures was also studied systematically. Our results show that the interplay of temperature and stress state, and their histories, are fundamental for the evolution of hydraulic properties in the reservoir. Depending on the rock’s mineralogy, the mineral expansion caused by the increased temperature can surpass the effect of microcracking due to heating, resulting in a significant decrease in hydraulic properties. Our results were supplemented by micro-CT images of the microstructure of the samples before and after triaxial testing. It is shown that the interaction of temperature and stress is fundamental for the assessment of the geothermal potential of both intact and fractured carbonate reservoirs.

description: La datte, produit stratégique des oasis marocaines contribuant à hauteur de 20 à 60 % dans la formation des revenus des phœniciculteurs, enregistre désormais une production record en dépassant 140 000 tonnes, en raison de l'expansion de la culture du palmier dattier dans le cadre du Plan Maroc Vert (PMV). Il y avait donc une nécessité de renforcer et d’améliorer substantiellement la valorisation post-récolte des dattes marocaines. Les travaux menés par l’Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA, Maroc) contribuent aux objectifs de cette valorisation en réalisant des activités de recherche efficaces en faveur des dattes permettant de réduire les pertes post-récolte, d’améliorer la qualité, de diversifier les produits à base de dattes, de générer une plus-value et de faciliter l'accès au marché. Leur approche est en concordance avec les stratégies nationales du palmier dattier incluant le PMV, basée sur une valorisation appropriée abordant des aspects scientifiques, techniques et de développement, hautement sollicités à l’aval de la chaîne de valeur des dattes. A cet effet, les activités réalisées ont contribué à une meilleure valorisation technologique des dattes à travers des acquis ayant impliqué davantage les différents acteurs soucieux de préserver la biodiversité et le savoir-faire local des dattes, de mettre en avant leur typicité et notoriété, de mener à bien leur projets de valorisation, d’établir et de respecter leur normes de qualité et de satisfaire les préférences des consommateurs. Ces acquis de recherche ont fournie des solutions concrètes et modernes, à même de contribuer à une véritable valorisation ou une agro-industrie des dattes tout en tenant compte de leurs spécificités et celles de leurs terroirs pour un développement durable des oasis marocaines.

description: In a battery electric vehicle, the battery housing fulfils important safety functions such as electromagnetic shielding and flame retardancy. Composites like Sheet Molding Compounds (SMCs) offer significant potential in the production of battery housings. However, to achieve both electromagnetic shielding and flame retardancy in one material, conventional SMCs must be modified. This study examined the electromagnetic shielding and flame retardancy of unsaturated polyester polyurethane hybrid (UPPH) resin-based SMCs containing either glass- or carbon-fiber reinforcement as well as carbon black, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanostructures or expandable graphite filler.

title: Post-trafficking trajectories and experiences of Romanian women sexually exploited in the UK: Multiple voices and perspectives
Creators: name: Turda, Ileana-Maria
Publisher: name: University of Central Lancashire
Year: 2024

description: Sex trafficking remains a significant form of exploitation worldwide and has long been regarded as a major human rights violation. In the last 4 years, Romania has often been in the top five countries of origin for sex trafficking in the UK according to Home Office figures. To date, there is a lack of knowledge of experiences of Romanian women being trafficked to the UK and their post-trafficking experiences, with this research focusing upon these gaps. Although there is great concern over the well-being of women who have experienced sex trafficking, gaps remain in the literature concerning their post-trafficking trajectories, the short- and long-term outcomes of the experience, and how sex trafficking impacts victims' and survivors' lives. While the focus remains on their vulnerability and possible re-victimisation, there is a limited exploration of agency and resilience in the narratives on sex trafficking.
Using a feminist research framework and semi-structured in-depth interviews, the voices of Romanian survivors of sex trafficking, alongside practitioner and key informant experiences of working in the anti-trafficking field, were captured and analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Sex trafficking trajectories were identified and explored.
The analysis found similarities in survivors’ stories but also unique and particular post-trafficking trajectories. Professional participants described trajectories in binary terms as ‘good’ or ‘bad’, evidencing preconceived perceptions and beliefs about sex work. Survivors encountered many challenges post-trafficking: psychological effects, trauma, anxiety, and struggled to achieve economic independence. Past vulnerabilities were exacerbated by the trafficking experience. Trust and lack of trust were perceived to contribute to or hinder recovery. Survivors who experienced supportive and authentic relationships with NGO staff, authorities and family members, reported positive impact on their well-being and recovery. Survivors conceptualised motherhood positively and it offered a source of hope for those living with their children. Migration before and after trafficking remains a complex element of survivors’ experiences, with both strengths and risks identified.
The study provides recommendations for UK and Romanian policy on law enforcement, immigration and sex work. It also highlights good practices for professionals working with victims and survivors of trafficking in both countries.

description: Asymptomatic, sub-clinical infections are a barrier to malaria elimination in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS). To further understand the relationship between antibodies and sub-clinical infections within GMS, this thesis quantified antimalarial antibodies in a large multinational GMS study. This thesis demonstrates that: antibodies are markers of ultra-low-density sub-clinical infections, that antibodies are not associated with time to resolution of untreated sub-clinical infections, and that after eliminating these infections through mass drug administration, these antibodies are maintained in the population for at least 12 months. By further understanding these relationships we can inform future surveillance and elimination interventions in the region.

description: Optical receivers, specifically avalanche photodiodes (APDs) and single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs), are essential for various applications in optical communications and sensing technologies. Given the variability in their performance due to process parameters and environmental factors, efficient characterization methods are desirable.Commonly, characterization methods rely on high-speed oscilloscopes. These can be expensive and slow down the process due to data transfer limitations.To improve efficiency, this work proposes a cost-effective USB interface for streaming digital data from such optical receivers to a PC. Utilizing the CYUSB3KIT-003 EZ-USB FX3 SuperSpeed explorer kit for USB connectivity, the interface was developed with a topology of SPAD ⇒ comparator/level shifter ⇒ serial-to-parallel conversion⇒ FX3 ⇒ PC. Custom four-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs) were designed for each stage of the interface, including configuration for the comparator and level shifter stage, as well as two distinct serial-to-parallel conversion topologies: one based on daisy-chained shift registers and the other on cascaded demultiplexers/deserializers. Firmware for the FX3 was developed to facilitate data transfer, complemented by a simple Windows application for managing data transfers.Performance evaluations showed that the interface could operate effectively at continuous speeds up to 3050 Mbit/s, nearing the theoretical maximum of 3200 Mbit/sof the FX3 for USB connections. However, performance varied significatly across differet modules, with data integrity issues at certain speeds or conditions depending on the used topology.A discrete component strategy was chosen over an FPGA-based approach for the serial-to-parallel conversion stage due to its perceived advantages in chip availability, ease of troubleshooting and design time; however, this decision led to significant challenges and unsatisfactory performance results. Nevertheless, it led to a more cost-effective solution, avoiding the high recurring costs associated with FPGA design software licenses.While the developed interface is functional, its usability is hindered by data integrity concerns, necessitating further optimizations or alternative design strategies. Future work is recommended to explore FPGA-based solutions, leveraging insights gained from this thesis to enhance performance and flexibiliy while addressing the identified issues.

description: Es wurden Konzentrationen von Isopren, Aceton und Ammoniak in der Ausatemluft von Probanden unter Ausbelastung untersucht. Eine kontinuierliche Detektion in der Alveolarphase gelang mittels Echtzeit-Massenspektrometrie. Isopren wird von Atemminutenvolumen und Herzfrequenz und Ammoniak eventuell von pH-Wertänderungen in Blut und Muskulatur beeinflusst. Der Acetonverlauf ist durch Kohlenhydrat- und Lipidmetabolismus erklärbar. Aceton lässt die Bestimmung einer individuellen anaeroben Schwelle zu. Die Acetonbestimmung im Atemgas stellt eine nicht-invasive und kontinuierliche Messmethode dar.

description: Purpose: Previous research identified a measurement gap in the individual assessment of social misconduct in the workplace related to gender. This gap implies that women respond to comparable self-reported acts of bullying or sexual discrimination slightly more often than men with the selflabeling as "bullied" or "sexually discriminated and/or harassed." This study tests this hypothesis for women and men in the scientific workplace and explores patterns of gender-related differences in self-reporting behavior. Basic design: The hypotheses on the connection between gender and the threshold for self-labeling as having been bullied or sexually discriminated against were tested based on a sample from a large German research organization. The sample includes 5,831 responses on bullying and 6,987 on sexual discrimination (coverage of 24.5 resp. 29.4 percentage of all employees). Due to a large number of cases and the associated high statistical power, this sample for the first time allows a detailed analysis of the "gender-related measurement gap." The research questions formulated in this study were addressed using two hierarchical regression models to predict the mean values of persons who self-labeled as having been bullied or sexually discriminated against. The status of the respondents as scientific or non-scientific employees was included as a control variable. Results: According to a self-labeling approach, women reported both bullying and sexual discrimination more frequently. This difference between women and men disappeared for sexual discrimination when, in addition to the gender of a person, self-reported behavioral items were considered in the prediction of self-labeling. For bullying, the difference between the two genders remained even in this extended prediction. No statistically significant relationship was found between the frequency of self-reported items and the effect size of their interaction with gender for either bullying or sexual discrimination. When comparing bullying and sexual discrimination, it should be emphasized that, on average, women report experiencing a larger number of different behavioral items than men. Interpretation and relevance: The results of the study support the current state of research. However, they also show how volatile the measurement instruments for bullying and sexual discrimination are. For example, the gender-related measurement gap is considerably influenced by single items in the Negative Acts Questionnaire and Sexual Experience Questionnaire. The results suggest that women are generally more likely than men to report having experienced bullying and sexual discrimination. While an unexplained "gender gap" in the understanding of bullying was found for bullying, this was not the case for sexual discrimination.

description: Ionospheric effects degrade the quality of radar data, which are critical for the precision of the satellite ephemeris produced by space surveillance systems; this degradation is especially noticeable for radars such as GRAVES that operate in the very high frequency range. This article presents a simple and effective method to correct for ionospheric effects, with an evaluation on data obtained with GRAVES, the French space surveillance radar. This method relies on GPS data, and our evaluation relies on GRAVES and DORIS data. We found that the gain in terms of evaluated radial velocity can be as high as 1.76$κ$, where $κ$ is the typical root mean square of the noise on radial velocity measurements for GRAVES (excluding ionospheric effects): the error decreases from 2.60$κ$ to 0.83$κ$ for daytime satellite overhead passes. Our conclusion is that, while this method is very simple to implement, it has proven to be a good correction for ionospheric effects in practice.

Subjects: subject: 610 Medical sciences Medicine

description: Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, auf der einen Seite den klinischen Verlauf von zwölf MS-Patienten unter der Therapie mit IFN-β 1a s.c. zu evaluieren. Auf der anderen Seite sollte mittels Transkrip­tomanalyse die differentielle Genexpression unter der Therapie untersucht wer­den. Durch die Analyse von TFBS in den Promotorregionen der unter Therapie hoch- bzw. herunterregulierten Gene, sollten außerdem die Regulationsmechanismen, die der Genexpression zugrunde liegen, näher beleuchtet werden, um das Verständnis der molekularen Wirkweise von IFN-β zu vertiefen.

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: 610 Medical sciences Medicine

description: Anhand eines Kollektivs von 3196 Schwangeren wird die Bedeutung sonographischer Softmarker für das Trisomie 21-Screening analysiert. Eine logistische Regressionsanalyse zeigt, dass White spot, verkürzter Femur und hypoplastisches Nasenbein die höchste Vorhersagekraft hinsichtlich einer Trisomie 21 besitzen. Obwohl durch die Ultraschalluntersuchung kein sicherer Ausschluss der Trisomie 21 erfolgen kann, schafft sie eine wichtige Beratungsgrundlage für die Entscheidung prospektiver Eltern für oder gegen eine invasive Diagnostik.

Sympathetic nervous system activity, chronic low grade inflammation and insulin resistance in pathophysiology of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Creators: name: SOULMAZ SHORAKAE
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2018
Subjects: Medicine

description: This thesis identifies and addresses important knowledge gaps in our understanding of PCOS pathophysiology, also generates new insights into the mechanisms underlying increased cardiometabolic risks in PCOS. I examined the role of sympathetic dysfunction and chronic low grade inflammation in the pathophysiology of PCOS. My findings suggest a close association of sympathetic activity with chronic low-grade inflammation and with development of insulin resistance, hyperandrogenism and potentially the subsequent metabolic abnormalities in PCOS. I report moxonidine is not effective in modulating sympathetic activity in PCOS however may exert anti-inflammatory effects. This will inform future clinical trials in amelioration of PCOS features.

Entscheidungsfindung am Lebensende in der Pädiatrischen Onkologie und Intensivmedizin
Creators: name: Nennhaus, Maike
Publisher: name: Universität Rostock
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: 610 Medical sciences Medicine

description: Die Entscheidung im medizinischen Team für ein schwer krankes Kind zu treffen, ist eine ethische Herausforderung. Wird die Therapie begrenzt und das Kind in die Hände der palliativen Medizin gegeben oder wird eine möglicherweise quälende letzte Therapieoption verwendet. Wie kommt es zu solchen Entscheidungen, wer nimmt teil an den Gesprächen, wie sind diese strukturiert und organisiert. Wie wirken sich diese schwierigen Gespräche auf die Beteiligten aus, und wie konfliktreich sind diese? Die Daten wurden mit einem quantitativen Onlinefragebogen ermittelt und deskriptiv ausgewertet.
Ein allgemeines kompetenzorientiertes Informations- und Vorgehensmodell für die Strukturierung von Domäneninhalten, Assessments und Feedback
Creators: name: Wieken, John-Harry
Publisher: name: Universität Rostock
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: 004 Data processing Computer sciences
subject: 370 Education

description: Ein Feedback für Lehrer und Lernende in Bildungsprozessen erfordert eine Externalisierung von Kompetenzen. Dafür wird ein dreistufiges Meta-Modell entwickelt, das CSP, das in UML beschrieben wird und eine kompetenzorientierte Analyse erlaubt. Beispielhaft wird das Modell in ein DBMS übertragen und in einem E-Assessment angewendet.
Durch die Kompetenzmodellierung besteht eine differenzierte Bewertungsmöglichkeit, Erklärungsfähigkeit und Lenkungsfunktion auch bei einem E-Assessment. Bei der Auswertung der Ergebnisse ergeben sich geschätzte Einsparungen von 90% gegenüber klassischen Klausuren.

These compounds influence the growth and phenotypes of bacteria, highlighting the role of mVOCs in skin microbe interactions and suggesting their implication in skin microbiota modulation and stability.
Etablierung eines tierexperimentellen
Kurzzeitschädigungsmodells zur Untersuchung von
Therapie- und Präventionsoptionen von chronisch
entzündlichen Darmerkrankungen
Creators: name: Breitrück, Anne

subject: 570 Life science

description: Das etablierte Kurzzeitschädigungsmodell fungiert als Versuchssystem zum Studium der frühen Colitis Ulcerosa (CU) Pathogenese und zur Testung neuartiger Therapieoptionen. Die mukosale Entzündung wurde durch In-situ-Perfusion eines Dünndarmsegmentes mit Iodoacetamid induziert. Die anschließende Perfusion durch zwei klinisch relevante CU-Therapeutika und das Silikat Resormin führte zur signifikanten Verbesserung der Entzündungsparameter. In-vitro-Ergebnisse zeigten, dass der therapeutische Effekt der Silikate auf die Bindung von pro-inflammatorischen und reaktiven Mediatoren zurückzuführen ist.

Creators: name: Biała, Katarzyna Maria
Publisher: name: Universität Rostock
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: 540 Chemistry & allied sciences

description: Die Dissertation beschreibt Untersuchungen zur thermischen Diskriminierung von Einzelbasenvariationen in DNA-Oligonukleotiden unter Verwendung zweier unterschiedlicher Hybridisierungsassay-Designs. Die Differenzierung erfolgte durch Unterschiede thermischer Stabilitäten der auf der Elektrodenoberfläche immobilisierten komplementären und einzelfehlgepaarten Doppelstränge sowie durch kompetitive Effekte während der Strangverdrängungsreaktionen. Die kompetitiven Effekte ließen sich dabei durch Variation von Anzahl, Art und Lage der Fehlpaarungen in den konkurrierenden Doppelsträngen beeinflussen.
