description: The aggregation of operational active and reactive power flexibilities as the feasible operation region (FOR) is a main component of a hierarchical multi-voltage-level grid control as well as the cooperation of transmission and distribution system operators at vertical system interconnections. This article presents a new optimization-based aggregation approach, based on a modified particle swarm optimization (PSO) and compares it to non-linear and linear programming. The approach is to combine the advantages of stochastic and optimization-based methods to achieve an appropriate aggregation of flexibilities while obtaining additional meta information during the iterative solution process. The general principles for sampling an FOR are introduced in a survey of aggregation methods from the literature and the adaptation of the classic optimal power flow problem. The investigations are based on simulations of the Cigré medium voltage test system and are divided into three parts. The improvement of the classic PSO algorithm regarding the determination of the FOR are presented. The most suitable of four sampling strategies from the literature is identified and selected for the comparison of the optimization methods. The analysis of the results reveals a better performance of the modified PSO in sampling the FOR compared to the other optimization methods.

description: Lentiviral vectors have proven their great potential to serve as a DNA delivery tool for gene modified cell therapy and gene therapy applications. The downstream processing of these vectors is however still a great challenge, particularly because of the low stability of the virus. Harvesting and clarification are critical and until now insufficiently characterized steps for lentivirus processing. To address this bottleneck, we analyzed whether lentiviral vectors produced by transient transfection of HEK293 T/17 SF suspension cells can be efficiently clarified with a lab-scale method with the filter aid diatomaceous earth (DE) and bioburden reducing membrane filters achieving high lentivirus recoveries. Using a design of experiment approach we found that higher DE concentrations are advantageous for a higher turbidity reduction and shorter filtration times, but at the same time LV titer decreases with increasing DE concentration. A DE concentration of 9 g/L was identified with a DoE as a robust set-point. Clarification with DE was compared with for lab-scale traditionally employed centrifugation and subsequent bioburden reduction filtration of viral vectors. The use of DE allows to perform a harvest and clarification process, which does not only facilitate faster and safer virus handling, but enables a lower material consumption due to the extremely increased filter capacity, thus representing an efficient and robust lab-scale clarification process.

description: This paper presents those flow parameters at which coherent structures appear in the blade tip cavities of shrouded turbine blades. To the authors’ knowledge, this is reported for the first time in the open literature. The unsteady flow in a shroud cavity is analysed based on experimental data recorded in a labyrinth seal test rig. The unsteady static wall pressure in the shroud cavity inlet and outlet is measured using time-resolving pressure sensors. Sensors are located at staggered circumferential positions to allow cross-correlation between signals. The unsteady pressure signals are reduced using Fourier analysis and cross-correlation in combination with digital filters. Based on the data, a theory is formulated explaining the phenomena reflected in the measurements. The results suggest that pressure fluctuations with distinct numbers of nodes are rotating in the shroud cavity outlet. Moreover, modes with different node numbers appear to be super-imposed, rotating at a common speed in circumferential direction. The pressure fluctuations are not found at all operating points. Further analysis indicates that the pressure fluctuations are present at operating points matching distinct parameters correlating with the cavity flow coefficient. Unsteady RANS simulations predict similar flow structures for the design operating point of the test rig.

description: The aim of this work is the decomposition, quantification, and analysis of losses related to the axial-gap size effect in a 1.5-stage low-pressure turbine. Both experimental data and unsteady RANS calculations are investigated for axial gaps equal to 20%, 50% and 80% of the stator axial chord. A framework for identifying sources of loss typically encountered in turbomachinery is derived and utilized for the low-pressure turbine presented. The analysis focuses on the dependency between these losses and the axial-gap vari-ation. It is found that two-dimensional profile losses increase for smaller gaps due to higher wake-mixing losses and unsteady wake-blade interaction. Losses in the end-wall regions, however, decrease for smaller gaps. The total system efficiency can be described by a superposition of individual loss con-tributions, the optimum of which is found for the smallest gap investigated. It is concluded that these loss contributions are characteristic for the medium aspect-ratio airfoils and operating conditions investigated. This establishes a deeper physical understanding for future investigations into the axial-gap size effect and its interdependency with other design parameters.

SIMCor. Deliverable 10.1: In-silico trial impact assessment framework (ECRIN, M12)
Creators: name: Aydin, Burç
name: Ohmann, Christian
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: The objective of this deliverable is to define and develop a framework for estimating the impact of in-silico
 methods and technologies on clinical and preclinical trials, laying the basis for the assessment of
 broader effects on patient safety, animal welfare and industry workflow. In the introductory part a
 status view on this area is given. The document starts with basic terminology and definitions related
 to in-silico approaches. Thereafter, existing standards, guidelines and frameworks relevant for in-silico
 trials are referenced. Examples and use cases of published in-silico trials are presented as well as
 existing tools to support in-silico trials described. The introductory part of the deliverable closes with
 a selection of projects and programs dedicated to in-silico approaches and relevant for SIMCor.
 The approach for executing an in-silico trial in SIMCor will be based on the methodology provided by
 Bodner and Kaul (Proceedings of the ASME 2021 Verification and Validation Symposium,
 V001T02A0012021) for in-silico clinical trials for medical devices. This framework heavily relies on
 ideas already developed for model verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification. The process
 starts with the computational model, which is developed upstream of the in-silico trial. The next step
 is to establish baseline credibility evidence with the goal that the model is ready to use for the in-silico
 trial. After this step, clinical trial planning starts with developing the in-silico trial protocol. Thereafter,
 the in-silico trial is designed as follows: a virtual cohort following the specifications of the human
 cohort is generated and a final model validation will be performed using human data. If the model is
 adequate the model predictions to the target population can be performed and the clinical endpoints
 can be evaluated. An important aspect in applying in-silico trials is the transfer from engineering
 outputs to clinical endpoints. To support this process, transfer functions based upon available data
 will be considered in SIMCor.

description: The term "conservation irrigation" is relatively new. Only in recent years has it become part of the terminology of irrigated agriculture in the West. "Conservation irrigation" is simply using irrigated soils and irrigation water in a way that will insure high production without the waste of either water or soil. It means using cropping, irrigation, and cultural practices that will maintain the land in permanent agriculture. Better methods hold a practical solution to both water problems and land problems. Whether you are a large irrigator or small, you will find the answers to many of your irrigation problems in the following pages. They are based on the latest scientific information and the experience of irrigators who are now practicing conservation irrigation.

description: Feeding behaviour of pest insects on host plants depends on the plant morphology and chemical composition. So far, leaf position was demonstrated important for estimation of thrips resistance in Capsicum, where resistant associations showed a higher resistance in the youngest leaves compared to old leaves. In the current study, the feeding behaviour of female Frankliniella occidentalis, a major pest of chrysanthemum, and the egg-laying activity was assessed in a non-choice experiment in the climate chamber. We hypothesize that the physiological status, i.e. the age of chrysanthemum leaves, is an important resistance factor influencing thrips silver damage and the number of offspring. In general, the results show significantly higher feeding damage on old (basal) leaves of susceptible cultivars compared to resistant cultivars on the abaxial side of the leaf. In contrast, we detected no significant differences on the adaxial side of the leaves neither for old nor for young leaves. However, feeding damage on different leaf positions is an important factor for resistance level determination. Additionally, we detected significant differences in reproductive activity, i.e. number of hatched larvae on old leaves compared to young leaves for all cultivars. Overall, on old leaves we detected more larvae. The comparison between the old leaves of all cultivars exhibited a significant difference between one resistant and one susceptible cultivar. Contrary to that, the comparison between the young leaves of all cultivars exhibited no significant differences. All findings are important for advancing future resistance screenings in chrysanthemum.
Source and timing of alkali metasomatism and associated critical element mineralization in the Pool Creek map area, southeastern Yukon
Creators: name: Naber, Tiera Venesse
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Rare-earth element (REE) and high field strength element (HFSE) bearing Eocene and Neoproterozoic intrusions occur throughout southeastern Yukon, Canada. Poorly exposed outcrops of a REE-HFSE bearing fenite of unknown origin are found adjacent to the Neoproterozoic Pool Creek nepheline syenite, which is superimposed by Eocene volcanism. Fenites hold critical information about the original composition of their source intrusions and have implications as a vector towards associated REE-HFSE mineralization; however, fenites associated with syenitic intrusions are understudied in the literature. Rock and mineral textures and compositions of the Pool Creek nepheline syenite, altered syenite suites, fenites, and host units (quartzite and argillite) were compared to determine the source and timing of the fenitization event and to contribute to the collective knowledge of fenites associated with syenitic intrusions. The altered syenite and fenite suites show geochemical and mineralogical compositions that are transitional between their respective host units and the Pool Creek nepheline syenite. Interestingly, the fenitized units hosted in argillite have REE-HFSE contents up to 15x greater than those hosted in quartzite. The style of mineralization observed in this study is consistent with that of a silicate roof zone type deposit, indicating the orientation of the intrusive system. Relationships between unaltered and altered zircon textures and dates show that the ages of crystallization of multiple intrusive units and associated fenitization occurred between 620 to 660 Ma. Overlapping ages of different syenitic units suggest that the Pool Creek nepheline syenite forms a composite alkaline-silicate complex, rather than a single intrusive event. These lines of evidence suggest that the source of the fenitization that produced the alteration observed in the altered syenite and fenite suites is the Neoproterozoic Pool Creek nepheline syenite, and therefore that fenitization was driven by contact metasomatism between the nepheline syenite and host units. These findings show that the characteristics of the host rocks strongly influence the composition and distribution of fenite aureoles and REE-HFSE mineralization associated with syenitic systems. These conclusions demonstrate that understanding the compositional relationship between the source intrusion, associated fenite, and host yields a plethora of information about the magmatic system and controls on associated mineralization.

description: Electromagnetics (EM) can be described, together with the constitutive laws, by four PDEs, called Maxwell's equations. “Quasi-static” approximations emerge from neglecting particular couplings of electric and magnetic field related quantities. In case of slowly time varying fields, if inductive and resistive effects have to be considered, whereas capacitive effects can be neglected, the magneto quasi-static (MQS) approximation applies. The solution of the MQS Maxwell's equations, traditionally obtained with finite differences and elements methods, is crucial in modelling EM devices. In this paper, the applicability of an unsupervised deep learning model is studied in order to solve MQS Maxwell's equations, in both frequency and time domain. In this framework, a straightforward way to model hysteretic and anhysteretic non-linearity is shown. The introduced technique is used for the field analysis in the place of the classical finite elements in two applications: on the one hand, the B–H curve inverse determination of AISI 4140, on the other, the simulation of an induction heating process. Finally, since many of the commercial FEM packages do not allow modelling hysteresis, it is shown how the present approach could be further adopted for the inverse magnetic properties identification of new magnetic flux concentrators for induction applications.

description: Even though the administration of chemotherapeutic agents such as erlotinib is clinically established for the treatment of breast cancer, its efficiency and the therapy outcome can be greatly improved using RNA interference (RNAi) mechanisms for a combinational therapy. However, the cellular uptake of bare small interfering RNA (siRNA) is insufficient and its fast degradation in the bloodstream leads to a lacking delivery and no suitable accumulation of siRNA inside the target tissues. To address these problems, non-ionic surfactant vesicles (niosomes) were used as a nanocarrier platform to encapsulate Lifeguard (LFG)-specific siRNA inside the hydrophilic core. A preceding entrapment of superparamagnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles (Fex Oy-NPs) inside the niosomal bilayer structure was achieved in order to enhance the cellular uptake via an external magnetic manipulation. After verifying a highly effective entrapment of the siRNA, the resulting hybrid niosomes were administered to BT-474 cells in a combinational therapy with either erlotinib or trastuzumab and monitored regarding the induced apoptosis. The obtained results demonstrated that the nanocarrier successfully caused a downregulation of the LFG gene in BT-474 cells, which led to an increased efficacy of the chemotherapeutics compared to plainly added siRNA. Especially the application of an external magnetic field enhanced the internalization of siRNA, therefore increasing the activation of apoptotic signaling pathways. Considering the improved therapy outcome as well as the high encapsulation efficiency, the formulated hybrid niosomes meet the requirements for a cost-effective commercialization and can be considered as a promising candidate for future siRNA delivery agents.

description: Excerpt from the report Introduction: Of the 152 national forests, about 100 are important for grazing. There are roughly 10,000 grazing allotments, some used by individual operators, others used jointly by community groups. The demand for national-forest range far exceeds its capacity. The principles guiding grazing administration on the national forests are: 1. The protection and conservative use of all national-forest land adapted to grazing consistent with the protection of other important uses of the land. 2. The permanent good of the livestock industry through proper care and improvement of the grazing lands. 3. The continued stability of the established ranch owners using the range.

description: Chitosan nanogel-coated polycaprolactone (PCL) fiber mat-based implant prototypes with tailored release of bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP-2) are a promising approach to achieve implant-mediated bone regeneration. In order to ensure reliable in vitro release results, the robustness of a commercially available ELISA for E. coli-derived BMP-2 and the parallel determination of BMP-2 recovery using a quantitative biological activity assay were investigated within a common release setup, with special reference to solubility and matrix effects. Without bovine serum albumin and Tween 20 as solubilizing additives to release media buffed at physiological pH, BMP-2 recoveries after release were notably reduced. In contrast, the addition of chitosan to release samples caused an excessive recovery. A possible explanation for these effects is the reversible aggregation tendency of BMP-2, which might be influenced by an interaction with chitosan. The interfering effects highlighted in this study are of great importance for bio-assay-based BMP-2 quantification, especially in the context of pharmaceutical release experiments.
Mapping meditation : understanding meditation and adverse events through actor network theory
Creators: name: Hare, Michael Riley
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines the application of Actor Network Theory (ANT) to sitting meditation practice as a complex interaction between the body, mind, and beliefs of the practitioner. To that end, the essay uses previous work done by Science and Technology Studies (STS) scholar António Carvalho. The essay begins by unpacking and criticizing Carvalho’s own ANT analysis and arguments around the way meditation practice supposedly produces nonmodern subjectivities that are beneficial for the practitioner, namely an experience of an extended sense of self, novel forms of awareness and encounters with phenomena not commonly found in daily life. The criticism homes in on issues known as the category, development and optimism problems associated with Carvalho’s argument. To produce a picture of meditation practice that is more inclusive of unpleasant experiences with meditation, the essay makes use of research on Meditation Adverse Events (MAEs). Bringing these threads together, the thesis utilizes the work of Annemarie Mol alongside interviews found in Carvalho, Buddhist texts and sociological research. The outcome is a more robust ANT, one that accounts for the important points Carvalho emphasizes and includes important insights around how individuals relate to their bodies, minds, different experiences found in meditation practice, and the narratives they use to frame their understanding of the place of practice within their lives.

description: The importance of green technologies is steadily growing. Salt-tolerant plants have been proposed as energy crops for cultivation on saline lands. Halophytes such as Salicornia europaea, Tripolium pannonicum, Crithmum maritimum and Chenopodium quinoa, among many other species, can be cultivated in saline lands, in coastal areas or for treating saline wastewater, and the biomass might be used for biogas production as an integrated process of biorefining. However, halophytes have different salt tolerance mechanisms, including compartmentalization of salt in the vacuole, leading to an increase of sodium in the plant tissues. The sodium content of halophytes may have an adverse effect on the anaerobic digestion process, which needs adjustments to achieve stable and efficient conversion of the halophytes into biogas. This review gives an overview of the specificities of halophytes that needs to be accounted for using their biomass as feedstocks for biogas plants in order to expand renewable energy production. First, the different physiological mechanisms of hal-ophytes to grow under saline conditions are described, which lead to the characteristic composition of the halophyte biomass, which may influence the biogas production. Next, possible mechanisms to avoid negative effects on the anaerobic digestion process are described, with an overview of full-scale applications. Taking all these aspects into account, halophyte plants have a great potential for biogas and methane production with yields similar to those produced by other energy crops and the simultaneous benefit of utilization of saline soils.

description: The Fermi Large Area Telescope gamma-ray source 3FGL J2039.6-5618 contains a periodic optical and X-ray source that was predicted to be a 'redback' millisecond pulsar (MSP) binary system. However, the conclusive identification required the detection of pulsations from the putative MSP. To better constrain the orbital parameters for a directed search for gamma-ray pulsations, we obtained new optical light curves in 2017 and 2018, which revealed long-term variability from the companion star. The resulting orbital parameter constraints were used to perform a targeted gamma-ray pulsation search using the Einstein@Home-distributed volunteer computing system. This search discovered pulsations with a period of 2.65 ms, confirming the source as a binary MSP now known as PSR J2039-5617. Optical light-curve modelling is complicated, and likely biased, by asymmetric heating on the companion star and long-term variability, but we find an inclination i ≳ 60°, for a low pulsar mass between 1.1 M⊙ < Mpsr < 1.6 M⊙, and a companion mass of 0.15-0.22 M⊙z, confirming the redback classification. Timing the gamma-ray pulsations also revealed significant variability in the orbital period, which we find to be consistent with quadrupole moment variations in the companion star, suggestive of convective activity. We also find that the pulsed flux is modulated at the orbital period, potentially due to inverse Compton scattering between high-energy leptons in the pulsar wind and the companion star's optical photon field.

description: Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries play a crucial role in global finance by channeling state-owned capital into strategic investments that support economic diversification and stability. Key SWFs like the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, Kuwait Investment Authority, and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund invest heavily in sectors such as technology, real estate, and renewable energy. These investments drive job creation and market development, but challenges remain, including transparency issues, geopolitical risks, and reliance on oil revenues. To ensure sustainable growth, improving governance, broadening funding sources, and balancing local and global investments are essential.

description: This research aims to explore the relevancy and appropriateness of Breed Specific legislation by examining the impact of perceptions of canine characteristics since the introduction of Breed Specific Legislation, under The Dangerous Dogs Act (1991). To achieve my research aim, I reached out to those holding canine related professions to complete a quantitative survey. I did this by sending
invitations to canine organisations such as the RSPCA, Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors and later by sharing on LinkedIn and social media sites requesting specific participants. After receiving 52 responses, I analysed my responses in SPSS using descriptive methods including averages and crosstabs.
title: Freight transport modal choice in North West England's Atlantic Gateway
Creators: name: Bury, A
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2019

description: Overuse of the road network has led to greater levels of congestion, elevated levels of road surface wear and tear and an increase in transport related air pollution. When taken in combination with the failure of attempts to balance modal split the road network’s continuing slide towards breaking point seems to be beyond question. However, circumstances have conspired to present one particular region of England with a tabula rasa for the development of new policies to influence the modal split of freight transportation. England’s economy is currently based around a London-centric model. The current move towards developing what has become known as a Northern Powerhouse is aimed at rebalancing the economy of the nation for the betterment of all of its citizens. The Atlantic Gateway is an integral part of these efforts. The devolution of powers and responsibilities from national government to regional authorities may provide an opportunity for positive change the likes of which has not be seen in the North of England since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Different regions are influenced by their own geographical and infrastructure constraints. Devolution ensures that decisions are made locally and are therefore more able to meet local needs. A greater understanding of what influences modal choice within the Atlantic Gateway allows local policy makers to make better informed decisions on how to accommodate the increasing levels of freight transportation on the existing local transport infrastructure. Two different multi-criteria decision making analysis tools are utilised in this study. The first model uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine the weights of a range of criteria identified as influencing modal choice. The second model combines AHP with the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to allow the modes of transport under consideration to be ranked. This AHP-TOPSIS approach was adopted to address the limited data made available by the freight transportation industry in support of this research and the inadequacy of the data which is publicly available from mainstream sources. With billions of Pounds having been spent over many years to balance modal split it was disappointing to find that today, in the North West of England, road is still, by far, the preferred mode for transporting freight. The margin by which road leads the other modes within this geographical region shows the degree to which modal shift policy has so far failed. It also shows the amount of work needed to be done if modal shift is to be delivered in the future.

description: Excerpts from the report Foreward: From time to time cooperatives have been organized in many parts of the United States to perform limited forest-management or forest-products-marketing services. One of the most successful cooperatives in this field is the Otsego Forest Products Cooperative Association of Cooperstown, N. Y. The unique feature of this cooperative is that it eliminates the perennial conflict of interests between the small woodland owner and the processor of forest products. The cooperative does its own processing and thus provides the basis for an integration of forest management with forest utilization. The experiences of the Otsego Forest Products Cooperative Association indicate that cooperatives organized by woodland owners may have an extremely important role in providing the market outlets and the management services needed by owners of small blocks of forest land. The aim of this report is to evaluate the Otsego cooperative and its experiences since it was conceived in the early 1930's.

title: The Effects of Security Framing, Time Pressure, and Brand Familiarity on Risky Mobile Application Downloads
Creators: name: Parker, Cody
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: The current study examined the effects of security system framing, time pressure, and brand familiarity on mobile application download behaviors, with an emphasis on risk taking. According to the Prospect Theory, people tend to engage in irrational decision making, and make qualitatively different decisions when information is framed in terms of gains and losses (i.e., the framing effect). Past research has used this framing effect to guide the design of a risk display for mobile applications (apps), with the purpose of communicating the potential risks and minimizing insecure app selections. Time pressure has been shown to influence the framing effect in both hypothetical choices in lab settings as well as with consumer purchases, and brand familiarity has been shown to affect consumers’ purchase behaviors. Neither factor has been studied in the context of risk communication for mobile app. The current study addressed this gap in the literature and examined the effects of time pressure and brand familiarity on the effectiveness of risk displays (framed as safety or risks) for mobile apps. Specifically, users’ choices were recorded as a measure of effective risk displays. The findings from this study indicated that users rely heavily on brand familiarity when downloading apps. We also showed that security scores, especially when framed as safety, were effective at guiding choice, though this advantage of safety framing was not present when users made decisions under time pressure. The implications from the study indicate that people implicitly trust brands they recognize, safety framed security can be helpful, and decision-making processes change under time pressure.
