Development of the direct borohydride fuel cell anode
Creators: name: Lam, Vincent Wai Sang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Direct borohydride fuel cells (DBFC) are a promising technology for meeting increasing energy demands of portable electronic applications. The objective of this dissertation was to contribute to the understanding of borohydride (BH₄⁻) electro-oxidation and the development of the DBFC anode; a component which can influence both the performance and cost of a DBFC system. The first part of the investigation involves the elucidation of the BH₄⁻ electro-oxidation mechanism on Pt. The BH₄⁻ electro-oxidation mechanism was studied by correlating the results obtained by the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance technique (EQCM) and the rotating disk electrode technique (RDE) with density functional theory (DFT) calculations from the literature. It was found that BH₄⁻ electro-oxidation on Pt resulted in the adsorption of reaction intermediates, such as BH₂OHad and BOHad, which required high oxidizing potentials to desorb/ oxidize from the catalyst surface. It was also found that the BH₄⁻ oxidation mechanisms (Langmuir – Hinshelwood versus Eley - Rideal) were dictated by the availability of Pt-sites and the competitive adsorption of OH⁻ and BH₄⁻. The second part involves an investigation of the performance of three different carbon black supported anode catalysts: Pt, PtRu, and Os, with a focus on Os catalysts. Fundamental electrochemical methods combined with fuel cell experiments revealed that osmium nanoparticles are kinetically superior and stable catalysts for BH₄⁻ electro-oxidation compared to Pt and PtRu. It was also found that supported Os electrocatalysts appear to favour the direct oxidation of BH₄⁻ in comparison to Pt, and PtRu electrocatalysts. The final section of this dissertation focuses on the effect of electrocatalyst support and anode design on the performance of the DBFC anode. It was found that the Vulcan® XC-72 supported catalyst alleviated mass transfer related problems associated with hydrogen generation from BH₄⁻ hydrolysis. The most significant improvement was obtained when using the graphite substrate supported catalysts (three-dimensional anodes). Fuel cell studies revealed power densities of 103 mW cm⁻² to 130 mW cm⁻² achieved by 1.7 mg cm⁻² Os and ~1 mg cm⁻² PtRu three-dimensional electrodes respectively at 333 K, using an O₂ oxidant at 4.4 atm (abs), and a 0.5 M NaBH₄ – 2 M NaOH anolyte composition.

description: In this paper we develop hydrodynamic models using spectral differential operators to investigate the spatial stability of swirling fluid systems. Including viscosity as a valid parameter of the fluid, the hydrodynamic model is derived using a nodal Lagrangian basis and the polynomial eigenvalue problem describing the viscous spatial stability is reduced to a generalized eigenvalue problem using the companion vector method. For inviscid study the hydrodynamic model is obtained by means of a class of shifted orthogonal expansion functions and the spectral differentiation matrix is derived to approximate the discrete derivatives. The models were applied to a Q-vortex structure, both schemes providing good results.

description: Parallels of Zipf's law of brevity, the tendency of more frequent words to be shorter, have been found in bottlenose dolphins and Formosan macaques. Although these findings suggest that behavioral repertoires are shaped by a general principle of compression, common marmosets and golden-backed uakaris do not exhibit the law. However, we argue that the law may be impossible or difficult to detect statistically in a given species if the repertoire is too small, a problem that could be affecting golden backed uakaris, and show that the law is present in a subset of the repertoire of common marmosets. We suggest that the visibility of the law will depend on the subset of the repertoire under consideration or the repertoire size.

description: Die Metalloproteasen der Astacinfamilie Meprin α und ß, sowie Ovastacin rücken zunehmend in den Fokus der Arzneimittelforschung. Aufgrund ihrer proteolytischen Aktivität werden Meprine mit pathophysiologischen Zuständen wie z. B. Fibrose, Morbus Alzheimer oder Krebs in Verbindung gebracht. Ovastacin könnte ein neues Target für die Behandlung der weiblichen Unfruchtbarkeit darstellen. Ausgehend von bereits bekannten Meprininhibitoren sollten in dieser Arbeit weitere Optimierungen durchgeführt werden. Die Darstellung von neuartigen heteroaromatischen Derivaten führte zu einer deutlichen Aktivitätssteigerung gegenüber Meprin α und ß, sowie einer Modulation der Selektivität innerhalb der Meprine. Ausgewählte Derivate wurden auch erstmalig hinsichtlich der Aktivität gegenüber Ovastacin evaluiert. Aus der Arbeit resultierten potente panspezifische Astacininhibitoren sowie hochpotente Meprin α-Inhibitoren mit einer hohen Selektivität gegenüber Meprin ß und einigen off-target Metalloproteasen.
description: Astacin metalloproteases, meprin α and β as well as ovastacin, are of growing interest as potential drug targets. Due to their proteolytic activity, meprins are linked to several diseases e.g. fibrotic disorders, Alzheimer’s disease or cancer. Ovastacin may represent a novel target for the treatment of female infertility. Based on already known meprin inhibitors, the aim of this work was a further optimization by exploration of novel scaffolds. The synthesis of novel heteroaromatic derivatives resulted in a significant increase in inhibitory activity against meprin α and β and a modulation of the selectivity within the meprins. In addition, selected compounds were evaluated against ovastacin for the first time. The work has led to potent pan-specific astacin inhibitors as well as highly potent meprin α inhibitors with a superior selectivity over meprin β and selected off-target metalloproteases.

description: The spatial patterns of road networks reflect the morphological and structural characteristics of cities. Previous studies have focused mainly on seeking universal laws in road networks rather than explaining their differences. A new approach for road network pattern analysis is proposed that has been inspired by landscape metric analysis. The utility of this approach is illustrated through (but is not limited to) the extraction of the main factors in network landscapes, or network-scapes for short. Twenty-four metrics were calculated for network-scapes of 100 cities worldwide, before an exploratory analysis is performed to detect the main factors. Four main factors were revealed and may be regarded as the characteristic indicators of road networks, which were identified to be evenness, richness-density, shape irregularity, and size and shape variation. The meanings of these factors are explained, and their spatial distributions are illustrated. Compared to existing road network analytics, these factors depict better the characteristic differences of road networks. The proposed approach provides a new framework for road network pattern analysis from a cellular perspective.

description: Paulownia witches’ broom (PaWB) is a devastating disease of Paulownia spp. caused by phytoplasma infection. To reveal the reason for the absence of morphological changes at the early stage of phytoplasma infection, in this study, a combination of second-and third-generation sequencing (single-molecule real-time long-read isoform) and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry were performed to analyse the changes of full-length transcripts and metabolites at the early stage of phytoplasma infection. A total of 140,528 non-redundant full-length transcripts, 597 transcription factors, 1,658 long non-coding RNAs, and 645 metabolites were identified. The third-generation sequencing improved the annotation of the reference Paulownia fortunei (Seem.) Hemsl. genome by 8.86%. Combination analysis of the full-length transcriptome and metabolome revealed that phenolics and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase synthesis related genes were significantly up-regulated in the early stage of phytoplasma-infected P. fortunei. Based on the results of full-length transcriptome and metabolome integrative analysis, we constructed an early defence model diagram of PaWB disease. Our results provide powerful insights into the reason for absence of morphological at the early stage of phytoplasma infection.

description: Despite its neutrality, Luxembourg was occupied in August 1914 mainly for its strategic value. For four years, the national elites engaged in a difficult policy of cooperation with the German occupier. This choice did not prevent a deterioration of the social conditions from 1916 onwards and was heavily criticised by the Allies during and after the war. Due to these negative connotations, World War One has come to play only a minor role in the collective memory of the Luxembourgish society.

description: A novel concept has been recently proposed for explaining the temporal coincidence of some Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) with an associated Supernova (SN) in terms of the gravitational collapse of a neutron star (NS) to a Black Hole (BH), induced by a type Ib/c SN explosion. We apply these considerations to the exceptional case of GRB 090618, for which there is evidence of a SN $\sim 10$ days after the GRB occurrence. We calculate the accretion rate and total accreted mass onto a NS from a SN Ib/c originated from a companion evolved star. It is shown that the NS reaches in a few seconds the critical mass and undergoes gravitational collapse to a BH leading to the emission of a GRB. We find for the mass of the NS companion, $M_{\rm NS}$, and for the SN core progenitor, $M_{\rm core}$, the following mass ranges: $1.8\lesssim M_{NS}/M_\odot \lesssim 2.1$ and $3\leq M_{\rm core}/M_\odot \leq 8$. Finally, we discuss the complementarity of these considerations to alternative processes explaining long and short GRBs.

description: We give a method which generates sufficient conditions for instability of equilibria for circulatory and gyroscopic conservative systems. The method is based on the Gramians of a set of vectors whose coordinates are powers of the roots of the characteristic polynomial for the studied systems. New instability results are obtained for general circulatory and gyroscopic conservative systems. We also apply this method for studying the instability of motion for a charged particle in a stationary electromagnetic field.

description: In this work, we employ renormalization group methods to study the general behavior of field theories possessing anisotropic scaling in the spacetime variables. The Lorentz breaking symmetry that accompanies these models are either soft, if no higher spatial derivative is present, or it may have a more complex structure if higher spatial derivatives are also included. Both situations are discussed in models with only scalar fields and also in models with fermions as a Yukawa like model.

Fundamental studies on solar-activated zeolite-supported photocatalysts for water splitting application
Creators: name: Taheri Najafabadi, Amin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Robust calculations show that the incidence of solar energy on the earth’s surface by far exceeds all human energy needs. Undoubtedly, the most trusted way of utilizing solar energy is to convert and store it in the form of an energy carrier such as hydrogen. Semiconductors capable of absorbing light energy so-called photocatalysts can potentially drive water splitting reaction for hydrogen generation. In this research, fundamental studies on a new class of solar-activated supported photocatalysts for water splitting application are presented. This resulted in significantly higher rates of H₂ production in comparison to the existing supported TiO₂ series under visible light. The composition comprises silico-aluminates (zeolite) as the support, titanium dioxides (TiO₂) as the semiconductor, cobalt compounds as hydrogen evolution sites and heteropolyacids (HPAs) as multifunctional solid acids with excitability under visible light. Using this composition, I ended up with at least 2.6 times higher hydrogen evolution rates under visible light in comparison to Degussa P25, the best commercially available titania product. The chemical point of view of this successful combination was investigated, attributing the higher photocatalytic activity of the synthesized chemical compositions to the basicity of the matrix. The more basicity properties besides HPA presence can overcome the negative impacts of titania interactions with the zeolite which are band gap widening and anodic shift of the TiO₂ band edges. Furthermore, the effect of cobalt precursors (nitrates and chlorides) on the photocatalytic activity of the prepared photocatalysts was also investigated. Although nitrate-based photocatalysts exhibited an improvement in the UV-VIS absorbance spectra toward visible light, they caused an almost 30% lower H₂ production rate in comparison to the chloride salts. Overshadowing the poisoning and parasitic effects of Cl⁻ anions on the photooxidation sites in the zeolite-supported composition was another notable outcome of this study. This suggests emulation of the core-shell photocatalysis concept insofar with providing a reasonable distance between redox sites. The results indicate the importance of zeolite’s structural and chemical properties as the photocatalyst support. This can be addressed through the selection of suitable zeolite types, taking an important step in the development of visible-light-activated photocatalysts based on earth-abundant materials.

description: Sustaining multifunctionality and stability of ecosystems has become of increasing concern over the last century due to the increased exploitation and degradation of the natural environment. To maintain ecosystem stability and multifunctionality it is essential to more holistically understand the impact of land use in comparison to other drivers across multiple spatial scales. Thus, this thesis focused on investigating biodiversity responses to land use across the soil surface at multiple spatial grains. While seeking to understand the large- and small-scale drivers and interconnectivity of above- and belowground taxonomic groups within agroecosystems. A novel feature of my research design is the consistent inclusion of both above- and belowground taxonomic groups in scale-explicit analyses, comparing the impact across the soil interface. Overall, my research findings provide new insight to the scale-dependence of biodiversity patterns and the multiple drivers shaping agroecosystems.
description: Die Erhaltung der Multifunktionalität und Stabilität von Ökosystemen hat im letzten Jahrhundert aufgrund der zunehmenden Ausbeutung und Verschlechterung der natürlichen Umwelt an Bedeutung gewonnen. Um die Stabilität und Multifunktionalität von Ökosystemen zu erhalten, ist es unerlässlich, die Auswirkungen der Landnutzung auf verschiedenen räumlichen Ebenen auf ober- und unterirdische trophische Gruppen im Vergleich zu anderen Einflussfaktorenganzheitlicher zu verstehen. Daher konzentrierte sich diese Dissertation auf die Untersuchung der Reaktionen der biologischen Vielfalt verschiedener ober- und unterirdischer trophischer Gruppen auf die Landnutzung in verschiedenen räumlichen Maßstäben. Dabei sollen die groß- und kleinskaligen Einflussfaktoren und die Verflechtung der ober- und unterirdischen taxonomischen Gruppen in Agrarökosystemen zu verstanden. Ein neuartiges Merkmal meines Forschungsdesigns besteht darin, dass ich jedes Mal sowohl ober- als auch unterirdische taxonomische Gruppen in skalenexplizite Analysen einbeziehe. Insgesamt liefern meine Forschungsergebnisse neue Erkenntnisse über die Skalenabhängigkeit von Biodiversitätsmustern und die vielfältigen Einflussfaktoren, die Agrarökosysteme prägen.

description: The focus in this research was on what and how children learn about emotion from input they receive in the moments when mothers respond to their emotional expressions.  The database for the study consisted of video-recorded observations of 12 first-born children (6 boys, 6 girls) at 9, 13, 17, and 21 months, in a laboratory playroom with their mothers during free play with toys and a snack.  The children’s affect expressions were coded continuously according to gradient properties of valence and intensity.  Mothers responded to the majority (80%) of their children's positive and negative emotional expressions.  Although children’s negative expressions were relatively infrequent, mothers responded more frequently to negative (88%) than to positive expressions (72%).  The relative frequency of mothers' responses remained stable over time and across gender and language ability.  However, as the children acquired language, mothers were more likely to use language themselves, and correspondingly less likely to express affect in response to their children's emotional expressions.  As expected, they responded primarily to facilitate positive affect and discourage negative affect.  The most frequent form of mothers’ response (66%) was action-related, as they acted and/or encouraged a child to act in a goal-directed way, and this form of responding did not change from 9 to 21 months.  Mothers talked about their children's goals and/or the situations in which their emotions occurred, and about their own actions as they either acted themselves or encouraged their children to act in order to achieve their goals.

description: Ferroxidases LPR1, LPR2, and P5-type ATPase PDR2 mediate the accumulation of Fe, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and callose in the root tips leading to primary root growth inhibition upon Pi starvation (PS). Plasma membrane Intrinsic Proteins (PIPs) may translocate H2O2 to influence callose deposition. RNA-seq analysis in the Pi starved-root tips of wild-type (WT), hypersensitive pdr2 mutant, and insensitive lpr1lpr2 line showed that several ROS homeostasis-related genes and ROS signaling regulators were induced in WT and/or pdr2. A burst of ROS was detected in the Pi-starved stem cell niche of WT and pdr2. Moreover, PS increased the superoxide level in the root apical meristem of WT and pdr2. Although some PIPs were differentially expressed in Pi-starved root tips of WT and/or pdr2, no obvious root length phenotypes were observed in all 13 pip single mutants and pip1;3pip1;4 upon PS. The mechanism by which ROS works as signals upon PS needs further investigation.
description: Die Ferroxidasen LPR1, LPR2 und die P5-Typ-ATPase PDR2 vermitteln die Anreicherung von Fe, reaktiven Sauerstoffspezies (ROS) und Kallose in den Wurzelspitzen, was zu einer primären Hemmung des Wurzelwachstums bei Pi-Mangel (PM) führt. Plasmamembran-intrinsische Proteine (PIPs) können H2O2 translozieren, um die Kalloseablagerung zu beeinflussen. RNA-Seq-Analysen von Wurzelspitzen des Wildtyps (WT), der hypersensitiven pdr2-Mutante und der insensitiven lpr1lpr2-Linie gewachsen auf Pi-Mangel-Medium zeigten, dass mehrere ROS-Homöostase-bezogene Gene und ROS-Signalregulatoren in WT und/oder pdr2 induziert wurden. In der Pi-armen Stammzellnische von WT und pdr2 konnte eine hohe Konzentration von ROS nachgewiesen werden. Darüber hinaus erhöhte PM den Superoxidspiegel im Wurzelapikalmeristem von WT und pdr2. Obwohl einige PIPs in Wurzelspitzen, gewachsen unter Pi-Mangel-Bedingungen, von WT und/oder pdr2 unterschiedlich exprimiert wurden, konnte in allen 13 Pip-Einzelmutanten und pip1;3pip1;4 unter gleichen Bedingungen kein offensichtlicher Wurzellängen-Phänotypen beobachtet werden.

description: Unter der Einnahme von Metoclopramid und Domperidon, zwei oft eingesetzten Gastroprokinetika, werden kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse gehäuft berichtet, wobei die Ursache noch weitgehend ungeklärt ist. Daher untersuchten wir die Wirkung dieser Substanzen am humanen 5-HT4-Rezeptor in einem transgenen Mausmodell, welches diesen Rezeptor kardial überexprimiert. Ferner wurden Versuche an Vorhofpräparaten von Patienten durchgeführt. In Kontraktionsversuchen an Vorhöfen transgener Mäuse bewirkte Metoclopramid, jedoch nicht Domperidon, positiv inotrope, lusitrope und chronotrope Effekte. Im Speziellen konnte Metoclopramid als Partialagonist am humanen 5-HT4a-Rezeptor charakterisiert werden. Weiter zeigte sich auch in Kontraktionsversuchen an menschlichen Vorhofpräparaten von Patienten ein positiv inotroper Effekt durch Metoclopramid. Zudem vermittelte Domperidon in Kontraktionsversuchen an Mäuseatrien einen vom 5-HT4a-Rezeptor unabhängigen negativ chronotropen Effekt.
description: Cardiovascular events have been repeatedly reported when taking metoclopramide and domperidone, two frequently used gastroprokinetics, although the cause of these adverse events is still largely unknown. Therefore, we investigated the effect of these drugs on the human 5-HT4-receptor in a transgenic mouse model with cardiac-specific overexpression of this receptor. In addition, experiments were carried out on atrial preparations from patients. In contraction experiments on the atria of transgenic mice, metoclopramide, but not domperidone, caused positive inotropic, lusitropic and chronotropic effects. In particular, metoclopramide could be characterized as a partial agonist at the human 5-HT4a-receptor. Furthermore, a positive inotropic effect of metoclopramide was also demonstrated in human atrial preparations. In addition, domperidone mediated a negative chronotropic effect independent of the 5-HT4a-receptor in mouse atrial preparations.

description: Using a two-dimensional finite-differences scheme to model spin transport in silicon devices with lateral geometry, we simulate the effects of spin relaxation at interfacial boundaries, i.e. the exposed top surface and at an electrostatically-controlled backgate with SiO_2 dielectric. These gate-voltage-dependent simulations are compared to previous experimental results and show that strong spin relaxation due to extrinsic effects yield an Si/SiO_2 interfacial spin lifetime of ~ 1ns, orders of magnitude lower than lifetimes in the bulk Si, whereas relaxation at the top surface plays no substantial role. Hall effect measurements on ballistically injected electrons gated in the transport channel yield the carrier mobility directly and suggest that this reduction in spin lifetime is only partially due to enhanced interfacial momentum scattering which induces random spin flips as in the Elliott effect. Therefore, other extrinsic mechanisms such as those caused by paramagnetic defects should also be considered in order to explain the dramatic enhancement in spin relaxation at the gate interface over bulk values.

description: This study describes the types of intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual HIV-risk factors reported by a sample of 139 African American and Latina women ages 50 and older receiving care in outpatient clinics of an urban medical center. Additionally, we obtained estimates of the associations between experiencing IPV in a primary heterosexual relationship and the following HIV-risk behaviors among our sample of older minority women: (a) having multiple sexual partners, (b) STD history, (c) partner-related risk (i.e., having a partner who has multiple sexual partners, is HIV-infected, injecting drugs, and/or has an STD), and (d) self-perception of risk for HIV infection. Results indicate that many of these women are engaged in sexual risk behaviors, and such behaviors are associated with increased likelihood of IPV for this cohort. Implications for health care professionals are discussed.

description: The morphology of graphene on SiC {0001} surfaces formed in various environments including ultra-high vacuum, 1 atm of argon, and 10^-6 to 10^-4 Torr of disilane is studied by atomic force microscopy, low-energy electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The graphene is formed by heating the surface to 1100 - 1600 C, which causes preferential sublimation of the Si atoms. The argon atmosphere or the background of disilane decreases the sublimation rate so that a higher graphitization temperature is required, thus improving the morphology of the films. For the (0001) surface, large areas of monolayer-thick graphene are formed in this way, with the size of these areas depending on the miscut of the sample. Results on the (000-1) surface are more complex. This surface graphitizes at a lower temperature than for the (0001) surface and consequently the growth is more three-dimensional. In an atmosphere of argon the morphology becomes even worse, with the surface displaying markedly inhomogeneous nucleation, an effect attributed to unintentional oxidation of the surface during graphitization. Use of a disilane environment for the (000-1) surface is found to produce improved morphology, with relatively large areas of monolayer-thick graphene.

description: Development of a data policy and ensuring its uptake is not a trivial task within any organisation. There are many surrounding factors that may help or hinder the acceptance and imbedding of policies. Preparation and development of Geoscience Australias (GA) Data Strategy and Data Stewardship Policy required a combined understanding and knowledge of political, stakeholder, geoinformatics and technological landscapes external to the organisation, and an internal understanding of a vast amount of multi-disciplinary data assets and their champions within GA. Externally, from an international perspective, any data policy needs to take into account: - Regulations and compliance requirements (FAIR Principles and Trusted repositories), - Supporting data interoperability geoinformatics developments (common ontological information models, vocabularies and content standards (ISO, OGC, W3C)); - Technology trends (semantic web, machine learning, block chain); and - How these may interrelate to each other. From an Australian perspective, any GA data policy must: - Maintain a high level awareness of changes in Government priorities and policies (Australian Government Data Policy, Digital Continuity 2020); - Similar developments within other Government organisations; - Understand GA stakeholders and their roles in supporting delivery of GA goals and outcomes: the influencers, partners and consumers and how GA can communicate its Data Policy to them. Internally, to ensure the Strategy implementation, GA needs to: - Build a strong support base from executives, managers and data champions to ensure adoption of the strategy and funding; - Develop an architecture to sustain the implementation; - Ensure technological support through expert geoinformatics and Multi-Disciplinary-Teams; - Educate staff to ensure they have adequate competencies to comply with the policy. The GA Data Strategy is accompanied by a three year roadmap, which includes developing methodologies and frameworks to: - Streamline data processes, systems and tools; - Embed best practice data management; - Encourage and reward data management; - Develop data capabilities; - Strengthen and embed Data Governance. Realisation of this work is essential for GA to achieve its main goal of maximising geoscientific data potential to serve Australia.
Plant performance under changing temperatures : functional characterization of ELF3 in Arabidopsis thaliana and Hordeum vulgare

description: Plants have evolved to anticipate, acclimate and adapt to changing environments. The circadian clock gene EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3) plays prominent roles in temperature sensing and thermomorphogenesis. The ELF3 temperature sensing prion-like domain (PrD) was evolutionarily traced to Brassicales species, while the natural variation in Arabidopsis thaliana ELF3-PrD polyglutamine length is not likely to be an evolutionary adaptation to local climates. Linked to its thermosensory functions, Arabidopsis thaliana ELF3 was revealed as an essential temperature Zeitnehmer that coordinates rhythmic physiological outputs with temperature cycles. In barley, an exotic ELF3 allele was identified, displaying architectural acclimation and accelerated floral transition at high temperatures, which consequently stabilized total grain number. These results highlight ELF3 as a determinant of plant performance under changing temperatures and provide insightful information for breeding applications.
description: Pflanzen haben gelernt, verändernde Umweltbedingungen zu antizipieren, sich daran zu gewöhnen und anzupassen. EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3), ein Gen der zirkadianen Uhr, spielt eine prominente Rolle in der Temperaturwahrnehmung und Thermomorphogenese. Die Temperaturwahrnehmende prion-like Domäne (PrD) wurde evolutionär auf die Brassicales zurückgeführt, wohingegen es unwahrscheinlich ist, das die natürliche Variation der ELF3-PrD-Polyglutaminlänge von Arabidopsis thaliana eine evolutionäre Anpassung an das lokale Klima ist. In Verbindung mit seinen thermosensorischen Funktionen wurde ELF3 in Arabidopsis als essenzieller Temperaturzeitnehmer entdeckt, der rhythmische physiologische Outputs mit Temperaturzyklen koordiniert. In Gerste wurde ein exotisches ELF3-Allel identifiziert, welches eine architektonische Akklimatisierung und beschleunigte Blühinduktion bei hohen Temperaturen zeigt, was zur Stabilisierung der Gesamtkornzahl führt. Diese Ergebnisse heben ELF3 als bestimmenden Faktor der Pflanzenleistung bei wechselnden Temperaturen hervor und liefern aufschlussreiche Informationen für die züchterische Anwendung.

description: This thesis is a research investigation of the ways in which faith-based organisations (FBOs) engage in social activism with the goal of discovering how UK welfare reforms, including cuts in welfare provision and welfare payments, have impacted the complex relationship between religious organisations and welfare provision in Scotland. The research fills a gap in scholarship as the grassroots character of faith-based social activism in Scotland has not been fully explored since the onset of welfare reforms in the twenty-first century. The research for the thesis is focused on data gathered and analysed from three case studies of FBOs in the City of Edinburgh. Data was gathered from participant observation by the researcher, and from interviews and documentary analysis of FBOs in front-line settings including foodbanks, homelessness prevention, housing provision and street safeguarding patrols. This ethnographic and sociological research reveals how meaning making, motivation, and definitions of theological concepts like charity, compassion and redemption align with and deviate from contemporary secular visions of welfare policy. Analysis of local faith-based activism reveals shortfalls inherent to progressive welfare pluralism in Britain, as well as the religious, ethical and theological forces underwriting the third sector in Scotland. The first two chapters provide an introduction and literature review, detailing the scant academic attention afforded to the significant public role of FBOs in Scotland. Chapter three describes the ethnographic research design of the fieldwork, inducting a qualitative approach to the research question. Chapter four traces the narratives of local volunteers which lay claim to a distinctive phenomenology of place regarding theologies of welfare work in Scotland. Chapter five develops documentary analysis of public FBO representation compared with how volunteers and staff define their work. Chapter six describes how participatory observation across two years of fieldwork can shed light on the social drivers behind local faith-based activism overseen by national trusts. Chapter seven attends to themes generated via interviews regarding subjective meaning making processes employed by FBO workers within state-sanctioned services. Chapter eight offers a final analysis suggesting a symbolic typology which illuminates the theological ethics exhibited in the three case studies. The concluding chapter summarises the unique theological qualities encountered among faith-based social activists in Edinburgh and points toward further evolution of the research agenda and design.

description: The departure of millions of men for the front created unprecedented areas of action which Italian women could enter. The mobilization of women was accompanied by acceptance of, or, on the contrary, opposition to the war reflecting the developments and the rifts which were taking place in society. With the start of the conflict women mobilized through a network of associations in order to support families and combatants. At the same time they were introduced into employment in a manner unprecedented in the country’s history. Generally, the women's movement participated in the mobilization believing that it would lead to greater political, social and economic citizenship. However, this strategy did not succeed and revealed a political class not prepared to recognize women as an essential part of the nation in concrete terms.
