description: Over the past decades, building skins have become much better insulated to minimize the operational energy requirements of buildings. One of the foci for increased insulation properties of building skins are doors and windows, as they have traditionally suffered from insufficient thermal properties. Today, systems exist that provide outstanding insulation properties, with the look being the weak spot. Water inside the access systems influences sensitive electronics controlling and operating the look and damages wood-based doors. Thus, research was conducted to evaluate existing looks’ performance regarding thermal insulation, air tightness, water tightness, and condensation. Based on these tests, prototypes of improved locks were then constructed and tested. Researchers at Bern University of Applied Sciences investigated a door look system to address the shortcomings of existing looks in respect to thermal insulation and condensation. For the purpose of this research, a door look system comprises of door handle, lock cover, and the closing and locking mechanism. Such an access system that is available on the market was tested in respect to thermal insulation, air tightness, water tightness, and condensation on an actual building built according to the Minergie standard. Results show that temperatures throughout the access system tested follow the respective temperatures on both sides of the system, indicating the existence of less than optimal thermal properties under the viewpoint of hands-friendly surface temperatures. Humidity inside the access system is also dependent on the outside conditions on both sides of the system. However, humidity inside the system is also dependent on the pressure differential between the two sides. While no damaging levels of humidity inside the access system were measured at any time during these tests, results indicate a need to design a better access system case to increase its surface temperatures and to reduce the existence of humidity inside the access system to better protect the electronic components of the system as well as the door itself.

description: Preference for resistance using gene regulatory network (GRN) rewiring to protein mutations under different conditions. The fraction of simulations where GRN rewiring strategy is used more often than the protein binding site change strategy for resistance for different a) required number of expressed receptors (N ER ), b) amino acid matching threshold for the receptor binding (ϵ seqM ), c) survival rate from both infected parents (k I ) and d) disease related death rate (λ D ). For low ϵ seqM , k I and λ D , the population dynamics generally follows that shown in Additional file 2: Figure S1 b. Hence, in b, c, d) we considered all 100 simulations for the comparison of the preference for resistance using GRN rewiring to protein mutations. a) As more receptors are required to be expressed (higher N ER ), hosts preferentially use GRN rewiring less often than protein mutations. b) When the binding complexity is low, for lower amino acid matching threshold for the receptor binding (ϵ seqM ), hosts do not preferentially select GRN rewiring strategy. c) When k I is low, hosts does not favor the GRN rewiring strategy. d) When the disease related death rate (λ D ) is high, hosts hosts less favor the GRN rewiring strategy for resistance.

description: Context. Planet formation models have been developed during the past years to try to reproduce what has been observed of both the solar system and the extrasolar planets. Some of these models have partially succeeded, but they focus on massive planets and, for the sake of simplicity, exclude planets belonging to planetary systems. However, more and more planets are now found in planetary systems. This tendency, which is a result of radial velocity, transit, and direct imaging surveys, seems to be even more pronounced for low-mass planets. These new observations require improving planet formation models, including new physics, and considering the formation of systems. Aims: In a recent series of papers, we have presented some improvements in the physics of our models, focussing in particular on the internal structure of forming planets, and on the computation of the excitation state of planetesimals and their resulting accretion rate. In this paper, we focus on the concurrent effect of the formation of more than one planet in the same protoplanetary disc and show the effect, in terms of architecture and composition of this multiplicity. Methods: We used an N-body calculation including collision detection to compute the orbital evolution of a planetary system. Moreover, we describe the effect of competition for accretion of gas and solids, as well as the effect of gravitational interactions between planets. Results: We show that the masses and semi-major axes of planets are modified by both the effect of competition and gravitational interactions. We also present the effect of the assumed number of forming planets in the same system (a free parameter of the model), as well as the effect of the inclination and eccentricity damping. We find that the fraction of ejected planets increases from nearly 0 to 8% as we change the number of embryos we seed the system with from 2 to 20 planetary embryos. Moreover, our calculations show that, when considering planets more massive than ~5 M⊕, simulations with 10 or 20 planetary embryos statistically give the same results in terms of mass function and period distribution.

description: In the present study, live weight in beef cattle was modeled using linear conformation traits. For this purpose, Mutterkuh Schweiz provided data from a total of 26,374 beef cattle (♀: 17920; ♂: 8454) of 19 different breeds from years 2015-2023. For each animal, the first linear description was used in each case. In the linear description, the live weight of the animal was also determined with a scale in each case. The relationship between live weight and linear conformation traits was investigated using a linear mixed model. The model included the fixed effects sex, breed, age and month at the measurement, height at withers (cm), top line (score:1-9), body length (cm), length of rump (cm), rump angle (score:1-9), chest depth (cm), width at hips (cm), muscularity (score:60-99), BCS (score:1-9), muscularity shoulder side view (score:1-9), thickness of loin (score:1-9), thigh rounding side view (score:1-9), thigh length (score:1-9) and final score (score:60-99), as well as expert as random effects and residual effect. This model resulted in a coefficient of determination of 87.7% and a root mean squared error of 38.26kg. The largest fixed effects were observed for sex ((♀-♂: 37.97±1.17kg) and the breeds Grauvieh-Charolais (36.51±2.00kg), Grauvieh-Aubrac (33.55±1.97kg), Grauvieh-Dexter (24.51±3.64kg), Grauvieh-Galloway (16.80±4.00kg) and Grauvieh-Simmental (16.08±1.85kg). The main estimated fixed effects for linear conformation traits were 8.51±0.49 kg/score, 7.92±0.49 kg/score, 6.26±0.12kg/cm, 6.17±0.12kg/cm, 5.80±0.43kg/score and 5.55±0.67kg/score for thigh rounding side view, muscularity shoulder side view, width at hips, chest depth, BCS and rump angle, respectively. In conclusion, linear conformation traits can be used to estimate live weight of beef cattle.

description: Six N-flow models, used to calculate national ammonia (NH3) emissions from agriculture in different European countries, were compared using standard data sets. Scenarios for litter-based systems were run separately for beef cattle and for broilers, with three different levels of model standardisation: (a) standardized inputs to all models (FF scenario); (b) standard N excretion, but national values for emission factors (EFs) (FN scenario); (c) national values for N excretion and EFs (NN scenario). Results of the FF scenario for beef cattle produced very similar estimates of total losses of total ammoniacal-N (TAN) (±6% of the mean total), but large differences in NH3 emissions (±24% of the mean). These differences arose from the different approaches to TAN immobilization in litter, other N losses and mineralization in the models. As a result of those differences estimates of TAN available at spreading differed by a factor of almost 3. Results of the FF scenario for broilers produced a range of estimates of total changes in TAN (±9% of the mean total), and larger differences in the estimate of NH3 emissions (±17% of the mean). The different approaches among the models to TAN immobilization, other N losses and mineralization, produced estimates of TAN available at spreading which differed by a factor of almost 1.7. The differences in estimates of NH3 emissions decreased as estimates of immobilization and other N losses increased. Since immobilization and denitrification depend also on the C:N ratio in manure, there would be advantages to include C flows in mass-flow models. This would also provide an integrated model for the estimation of emissions of methane, non-methane VOCs and carbon dioxide. Estimation of these would also enable an estimate of mass loss, calculation of the N and TAN concentrations in litter-based manures and further validation of model outputs.

description: Forests provide a series of ecosystem services, including the protection from natural hazards. Thanks to these forests, structural protection measures can be avoided in many places. A realistic long-term valuation of this ecosystem-based risk reduction provided by the forest is essential. The aim of this study is to assess the Net Present Value (NPV) of a protection forest using a risk-based approach and compare it to the NPV of rockfall nets. Costs to be included in the NPV calculation are forest management interventions, net construction, and benefits are the risk reduction and wood sales. The risk reduction is monetised as avoided costs, i.e. the difference between the yearly rockfall risk with and without measure. Uncertainties in the protection effect due to possible forest fires were simulated over a period of 100 years using a Monte-Carlo approach. Both the protection forest and the nets effectively reduce rockfall risk at the study site. The NPV of the nets is highly negative (−124,100 CHF/ha), indicating that they are economically not worthwhile at the study site. The NPV of the protection forest is highly positive (162,400 CHF/ha). The variation of the NPV due to fires is very low and the influence of this disturbance on the long-term efficiency of the protection forest is small. Building temporary nets in case of a large fire can restore the protective effect. Their NPV is, however, lower compared to the situation without net. By calculating the NPV of a forest considering its risk reducing effect, we provide a methodology for a realistic valuation of its protective effect. It is based on a case study, which, however, can be applied in a broader context. The presented approach can serve as basis to find optimal combinations of investment in natural hazard prevention, be this ecosystem-based or structural measures.
Engineering magnetic topological insulators at the atomic level

description: Magnetic topological insulators (MTIs) represent a class of materials that merge magnetic order with non-trivial band topology, offering possibilities to realize a plethora of magneto-topological states. From an experimental standpoint, design, growth and characterization of MTIs provide the foundation for observing these novel states and manipulating them to explore fundamental physics and accelerate their progress towards real-world applications. The main focus of this dissertation is artificially engineering the intrinsic magnetic topological insulator family, [MnTe][Bi2Te3]n, using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). We begin by finding optimal growth templates and conditions for its building blocks, nickeline phase MnTe and Bi2Te3, which also leads us to the discovery of a zinc-blende/wurtzite mixed phase MnTe. Then, we employ the atomic layer-by-layer MBE technique to grow [MnTe][Bi2Te3]n with n as large as 15, well beyond the thermodynamic limits of bulk crystal growth. We discover that the “single-layer magnet (SLM)” phase, solely determined by intralayer ferromagnetic coupling, emerges for n > ~4 and remains little affected up to the extreme limit of n = 15. Nonetheless, we find that a small, yet non-zero, interlayer ferromagnetic coupling is necessary to stabilize the SLM phase. In the end, we describe some of our attempts towards quantum anomalous Hall effect through defect engineering of Cr doped Sb2Te3.

Wildlebende Huftiere wählen dabei selektiv einzelne Baumarten und die vitalsten Baumindividuen aus und beeinflussen deshalb das Wachstum der Verjüngung je nach Art unterschiedlich. Dies kann zu Verschiebungen im Konkurrenzgefüge der Arten führen und den Etablierungserfolg einzelner Arten verändern. Die langfristigen Auswirkungen des Verbisses durch wildlebende Huftiere auf die Baumverjüngung können nur objektiv eingeschätzt werden, wenn mehrere Faktoren/Merkmale betrachtet werden; die Verbissintensität (Verbissprozent) alleine genügt nicht. Die meisten dieser Faktoren lassen sich leicht erfassen (ausgenommen Mortalität) und sollten deshalb in Zukunft Eingang in Verbissinventuren finden. In diesem Film zeigen wir wie man eine Verbissinventur durchführt.

description: Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forests covering relief-rich terrain often provide direct protection from rockfall for humans and their property. However, the efficacy in protecting against such hazards may abruptly and substantially change after disturbances such as fires, windthrows, avalanches and insect outbreaks. To date, there is little known about the mid-term evolution of the protective capacity in fire-injured beech stands. We selected 34 beech stands in the Southern European Alps that had burnt in different intensity fires over the last 40 years. We inventoried all living and dead trees in each stand and subsequently applied the rockfall model Rockfor.net to assess the protective capacity of fire-injured forests against falling rocks with volumes of 0.05, 0.2, and 1 m3. We tested forested slopes with mean gradients of 27°, 30°, and 35° and lengths of 75 and 150 m. Burnt beech forests hit by low-severity fires have nearly the same protective capacity as unburnt forests, because only thin fire-injured trees die while intermediate-sized and large-diameter trees mostly survive. However, the protective capacity of moderate- to high-severity burns is significantly reduced, especially between 10 and 30 years after the fire. In those cases, silvicultural or technical measures may be necessary. Besides the installation of rockfall nets or dams, small-scale felling of dying trees and the placement of stems at an oblique angle to the slope can mitigate the reduction in protection provided by the forest.

description: Das Potential für PV in und auf Gebäuden ist in der Schweiz und wohl auch anderen Ländern sehr gross. So ist gemäss dem schweizerischen Bundesamt für Energie BFE das Solarstrom-Potential in der Schweiz auf Dächern 50 TWh, auf Fassaden 15 TWh und auf Infrastrukturbauten 17 TWh. Dies ist mehr als die aktuellen 60 TWh Stromverbrauch, von denen ca. 40 TWh aus Wasserkraft und ca. 20 TWh aus AKW’s kommen. Letztere sollen ausgeschaltet werden, sobald sie „nicht mehr sicher sind“. Gemäss „Energiestrategie 2050“ von 2011 müssten ca. 20 TWh Solarstrom zugebaut werden. Soll hingegen die „Dekarbonisierung“ der Schweiz bis 2050 umgesetzt werden, was unsere Energieministerin Simonetta Sommaruga will, so sind wohl eher 40 TWh (ca. 50 GWp) Solarstrom nötig. Gibt es für PV-Anlagen auf und in Dächern viele qualitativ genügende Angebote, so sind die Fassadenlösungen noch in der Minderheit. Vom aktuellen Schweizer PV-Markt von knapp 300 MWp sind praktisch alles Anlagen auf Dächern und nur einige hundert kWp in Fassaden. PV Freiflächenanlagen werden in der Schweiz so gut wie keine gebaut. PV Anlagen in Fassaden sind aufwändiger und technisch heikler als die PV-Dächer. Die Fassaden sind zerklüfteter und haben häufiger Teilbeschattungen. Dies kann gerade in ertragsmässig interessanten hochalpinen Regionen zu technischen Problemen führen. Dabei wären PV-Fassaden in hochalpinen Lagen speziell interessant durch ihre hohen spezifischen Erträge und den hohen Anteil an Winterstrom.

description: We study the redistributive effects of taxes and other welfare state instruments in Switzerland. Measuring these effects is not an easy task as the necessary data is spread across numerous institutions and also due to the federal organization of the country, i.e. Cantons and municipalities have leeway in the design of taxes and means-tested benefits. However, the increasing availability of administrative data and their linkage allows for an increasingly detailed examination of the role of the welfare state.

Neosilphitrombium gratum

description: Neosilphitrombium gratum Fain, 1992
Fain (1992) described N. gratum but his description does not fit to standard criteria (e.g. number of normal setae on leg segments is neither mentioned in the text nor shown in figures). For this reason, we borrowed four paratypes of N. gratum and present some supplementary data.
Diagnosis. Larvae with the following features (n = 4): fn Ge = 4-2-2; fnTi = 6-5-5; fnTa = 18-13-13; fζ = 2-0- 0; fε = 1-1-0; microseta present on Ti I; SD = 75–94; leg I 223 238; leg II 192–200; leg III 217–227; IP = 635–665. Number of dorsal setae of idiosoma (fD) varies in four paratype specimens as follows: 30, 32, 37, 36 and number of ventral setae of idiosoma (fV) as follows: 24, 24, 37, 25. Palpal setal formula (fPp) = 0-0-0- BNN 2-BBBNNω. There are nude adoral setae on gnathosoma. Leg setal formula: Leg I: Ta- 1ω, 1ε, 2ζ, 17n; Ti- 2φ, 1κ, 6n; Ge- 2σ, 1κ, 4n; Fe- 6n; Tr- 1n; Cx- 3n (+1 eI). Leg II: Ta-1ω, 1ε, 13n; Ti- 2 φ, 5n; Ge- 1σ, 2n; Fe- 4n; Tr-1n; Cx- 4n. Leg III: Ta- 13n; Ti- 5n; Ge- 1σ, 2n; Fe- 4n; Tr- 1n; Cx- 2n.
Measurements are given in Table 2.
Remarks. Our study on N. tenebrionidum and N. gratum showed that the number of normal setae on the dorsal and ventral idiosoma varies, whereas the number of normal setae on legs is typically constant and has no variation. In N. annabellae only Ti II has 4–5 normal setae (Haitlinger, personal communication) which we considered 4 normal setae as an abnormality because there are 5 normal setae on Ti II in Trombidioidea (including Neothrombiidae) except Achaemenothrombiidae (see Saboori et al. 2010). The presence of the supracoxal seta on coxa I (in N. tenebrionidum and N. gratum) is the first report of this seta in the Neothrombiidae (see Saboori et al. 2010).

Remarks
The specimens studied here exhibit the paired tubercles of free tergite III directed sub-parallel (nondivergent) and positioned closer to each other. However, due to a lack of knowledge about intraspecific variations and the unavailability of male specimens for studying genital morphology, the material from Colombia is assigned tentatively to this species.

Clustering of Motion Trajectories by a Distance Measure Based on Semantic Features

description: Clustering of motion trajectories is highly relevant for human-robot interactions as it allows the anticipation of human motions, fast reaction to those, as well as the recognition of explicit gestures. Further, it allows automated analysis of recorded motion data. Many clustering algorithms for trajectories build upon distance metrics that are based on pointwise Euclidean distances. However, our work indicates that focusing on salient characteristics is often sufficient. We present a novel distance measure for motion plans consisting of state and control trajectories that is based on a compressed representation built from their main features. This approach allows a flexible choice of feature classes relevant to the respective task. The distance measure is used in agglomerative hierarchical clustering. We compare our method with the widely used dynamic time warping algorithm on test sets of motion plans for the Furuta pendulum and the Manutec robot arm and on real-world data from a human motion dataset. The proposed method demonstrates slight advantages in clustering and strong advantages in runtime, especially for long trajectories.

Remarks
The specimens studied here exhibit slight differences from the original description, particularly in the ornamentation of femur IV, with a row of larger retrolateral tubercles and the presence of an additional large tubercle on the distal prolateral area of the patella (Fig. 9). Additionally, the male genitals show some notable variations in style+gland size in relation to the LP and the position of the MSC in the LP. These variations were compared with the description provided by Pinto-da-Rocha (1997). It’s important to note that Roewer’s description did not include an examination of the genitalia. However, our examination of the male genitalia revealed these important differences. Despite these variations, due to the overall morphological similarities between our specimens and those described in literature, as well as the geographical distance between the populations studied and the limited number of specimens evaluated, we tentatively assigned our specimens to S. simplex. Nevertheless, we acknowledge the necessity of further investigation, including the study of larger samples or methodologies such as molecular analysis to confirm this assignment.

Intramuscular Temperature Changes in the Quadriceps Femoris Muscle After Post-Exercise Cold-Water Immersion (10°C for 10 min): A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis

description: Post-exercise cold-water immersion (CWI) is a widely accepted recovery strategy for maintaining physical performance output. However, existing review articles about the effects of CWI commonly pool data from very heterogenous study designs and thus, do rarely differentiate between different muscles, different CWI-protocols (duration, temperature, etc.), different forms of activating the muscles before CWI, and different thickness of the subcutaneous adipose tissue. This systematic review therefore aimed to investigate the effects of one particular post-exercise CWI protocol (10°C for 10 min) on intramuscular temperature changes in the quadriceps femoris muscle while accounting for skinfold thickness. An electronic search was conducted on PubMed, LIVIVO, Cochrane Library, and PEDro databases. Pooled data on intramuscular temperature changes were plotted with respect to intramuscular depth to visualize the influence of skinfold thickness. Spearman's rho (rs) was used to assess a possible linear association between skinfold thickness and intramuscular temperature changes. A meta-analysis was performed to investigate the effect of CWI on pre-post intramuscular temperature for each measurement depth. A total of six articles met the inclusion criteria. Maximum intramuscular temperature reduction was 6.40°C with skinfold thickness of 6.50 mm at a depth of 1 cm, 4.50°C with skinfold thickness of 11.00 mm at a depth of 2 cm, and only 1.61°C with skinfold thickness of 10.79 mm at a depth of 3 cm. However, no significant correlations between skinfold thickness and intramuscular temperature reductions were observed at a depth of 1 cm (r s = 0.0), at 2 cm (r s = -0.8) and at 3 cm (r s = -0.5; all p > 0.05). The CWI protocol resulted in significant temperature reductions in the muscle tissue layers at 1 cm (d = -1.92 [95% CI: -3.01 to -0.83] and 2 cm (d = -1.63 [95% CI: -2.20 to -1.06]) but not at 3 cm (p < 0.05). Skinfold thickness and thus, subcutaneous adipose tissue, seems to influence temperature reductions in the muscle tissue only to a small degree. These findings might be useful for practitioners as they demonstrate different intramuscular temperature reductions after a specific post-exercise CWI protocol (10°C for 10 min) in the quadriceps femoris muscle. Keywords: adipose tissue; cold-water immersion; exercise; intramuscular temperature; metabolism.
