description: This document presents the state of work in the WP4 of the CS3MESH4EOSC project on integrating
 user-level applications and usage scenarios within the ScienceMesh federation.
 The CS3MESH4EOSC consortium is building a federated mesh of sync & share systems (EFSS) and
 applications focused on scientific and research use-cases, referred to as ScienceMesh. The Interoperability Platform (IOP) worked out in WP3 provides the technical basis for the federation,
 ensuring compatibility across sync & share products, enabling data flow and user information
 exchange as well as implementing communication for application workflows. The partner-provided deployments of sync & share systems at federated sites provide the testing and
 pre-production environments for the federation. Finally, management procedures and tools
 developed by WP2 constitute the operational basis for the federation. Within WP4, a set of user-level applications is being developed with the aim of being embedded into
 this federated mesh of sync & share systems. This work is organized in four application-related design,
 development and testing tasks (T4.1-T4.4) as well as two auxiliary tasks (T4.5-T4.6). This deliverable provides the summary of the work within WP4 related to the integration of the
 flagship applications identified for the ScienceMesh. It provides an overview of the state of the
 demonstrators prepared within the first 18 months of the Project. It also summarizes the status of
 work in the auxiliary tasks dedicated to ensuring that requirements and other information flow among
 WP4 and WP3, WP4 and WP2, while analysing the future sustainability of those Project results.

description: Background ‘Syndemic’ refers to socially produced, intertwined, and co-occurring epidemics. Syndemic theory is increasingly used to understand the population-level relationships between sexual health (including HIV) and mental health (including problematic substance use) epidemics. Syndemic-informed clinical interventions are rare. Methods We therefore asked 22 sexual health practitioners from six sexual health clinics in British Columbia, Canada to define the word ‘syndemic’ and then asked how the theory related to their clinical practice. Results Responses to syndemic theory ranged widely, with some practitioners providing nuanced and clinically informed definitions, others expressing a vague familiarity with the term, and others still having no prior knowledge of it. Where practitioners acknowledged the relevance of syndemic theory to their practice, they articulated specific ways in which syndemics create moral distress, that is, feeling that the most ethical course of action is different from what they are mandated to do. While some practitioners routinely used open-ended questions to understand the social and economic contexts of patients’ sexual health needs, they described an uneasiness at potentially having surfaced concerns that could not be addressed in the sexual health clinic. Many observed persistent social, mental health, and substance use-related needs among their patients, but were unable to find feasible solutions to these issues. Conclusions We therefore propose that interventions are needed to support sexual health practitioners in addressing psychosocial health needs that extend beyond their scope of practice, thereby reducing ‘syndemic moral distress’.

description: Objective: The skull vibration-induced-nystagmus test (SVINT) is a noninvasive and effective screening tool for the function of the otolith and canal structures in children. It can instantaneously assess vestibular asymmetry. This study aimed to analyze the SVINT results of healthy children vs. children with hearing loss (HL) and to correlate it with sensory organization test (SOT) results as a functional balance evaluation tool. Design: This case-controlled study compared the results of SVINT to the results of the SOT of the computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) in a control group of 120 healthy normal-hearing children (i.e., NH group) vs. hearing loss (HL) group of 60 children, including 30 children with hearing aids (HAs) and 30 children with a unilateral cochlear implant (CI). The SVINT results were compared to the caloric test (CaT) and video head impulse test (vHIT) and associated with SOT scores. Results: Thirty-one children in the HL group had normal SVINT and normal SOT results. A total of 21 children in the HL group had SVINT-negative and abnormal results in the SOT (possibly due to bilateral vestibular loss (BVL)). Eight children in the HL group had positive SVINT and abnormal SOT results. However, none of the children had only positive SVINT with normal SOT findings. Moreover, 52% of children had a normal result on both the SOT and CaT, whereas 27% had abnormal results on both tests (17% bilateral weakness and 10% unilateral), and 22% had the only result of the SOT suggesting a functional abnormality. Similarly, when associating the result to vHIT, 51% had normal results on both tests, and 25% had abnormal results (13% bilateral and 12% unilateral weakness). Conclusions: SVINT findings can be correlated with SOT findings in the case of the unilateral vestibular lesion (UVL), which adds a diagnostic value in these pediatric cases but may differ in the case of the bilateral vestibular lesion (BVL). However, SVINT findings need to be cautiously interpreted in light of other test findings such as the SOT, CaT, and vHIT.

description: For over a century, it has been assumed that the plane of the lateral semicircular canal of the inner ear is parallel to the earth horizontal when the head is at rest. This has long been used by paleontologists to reconstruct head posture in extinct species. Thought this hypothesis has been repeatedly questioned, it has never been tested on a large sample size and at a broad taxonomic scale in mammals. This study presents a comprehensive test of this hypothesis in more than a hundred “ungulate” species. Using CT scanning and manual segmentation, the orientation of the skull was reconstructed as if the lateral semicircular canal of the bony labyrinth was aligned with the earth's horizontal plane. This reconstructed cranial orientation was statistically compared to the actual head posture of the corresponding animals using a dataset of 10,000 photographs and phylogenetic regressions. A statistically significant correlation between the reconstructed cranial orientation and head posture is found, although the plane of the lateral semicircular canal significantly departs from the earth's horizontal plane. We thus caution against the use of the lateral semicircular canal as a proxy to infer the horizontal plane on dry skulls and in extinct species. Diet (browsing or grazing) and head-butting behavior are significantly correlated to the orientation of the lateral semicircular canal, but not to the actual head posture. Head posture and the orientation of the lateral semicircular canal are both strongly predetermined by phylogeny
Maintanance of disgust – a validation of the Chain of Contagion Task

description: Tolin, Worhunsky and Maltby (2004) developed the Chain of Contagion Task for the experimental verification of the law of contagion. The main result of the study was that participants with contamination-related obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) were convinced of the transmission of contamination across multiple steps significantly longer than patients with anxiety disorders and healthy controls. The goal of the present study is the validation of an online version of the Chain of Contagion Task and the constructive replication of the original study in German-speaking countries. As in the original study, participants with OCD will be compared to an anxious and a healthy control-group with regard to their beliefs about infection. An online version that induces disgust in a similar way and depicts potential contamination could be more economical, acceptable and reasonable. It also makes an important contribution to disgust research by being used consistently to measure beliefs in connection with contamination, disgust and infection.

description: Due to the foveal organization of our visual system, eye movements are an essential part of perception and are studied across a wide range of different research areas. Across all areas typically only saccadic or only pursuit eye movements are measured in different tasks and behavior is averaged across observers. In this study we want to use interindividual variability to understand the naturally occurring saccade-pursuit interactions. A large group of participants will perform a set of standard oculometric (saccade and pursuit) and psychometric measurements with different relevant sensory information (position and velocity). We will correlate these basic measurements across observers with differences in saccade-pursuit interactions to understand which factors drive behavioral differences. We want to test whether interindividual difference vary across different eye movements or across different relevant sensory information to gain insight into the structure of the oculomotor system.

title: ERP Positive Displacement Pumps – Physically Based Approach Towards an Application-Related Efficiency Guideline
Creators: name: Schänzle, Christian
name: Ludwig, Gerhard

Publisher: name: VDMA
Year: 2022

description: There is a high probability that the Ecodesign Directive of the European Union will include positive displacement pumps in the near future. The Ecodesign Directive sets the framework of a legislative efficiency guidelines of energy-related products (ERP) to reduce their energy consumption. However, positive displacement pumps are used in various applications that affect the attainable efficiencies. Consequently, a regulation for all positive displacement pumps on the pure basis of the efficiency is not sufficient. This paper illustrates the necessity of an application-related consideration of positive displacement pumps and provides two major steps towards an application-related efficiency guideline: firstly, a concept of data acquisition and analysis is presented and discussed. The concept aims to identify the energetically relevant applications of positive displacement pumps and to determine a relationship between the various pump types, their applications and energy consumption. Secondly, a physically based, type independent and easy to apply model of the efficiency of positive displacement pumps is presented and its suitability in the context of an efficiency guideline is discussed. The model has been introduced by the authors recently and describes the efficiency as a function of four dimensionless variables. A parameter identification and model application on four different pump types and 155 different pump sizes including 2680 operating points proves its practicability to compare different pump types.

description: People with pre-existing lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are more likely to get very sick from SARS-CoV-2 disease 2019 (COVID-19). Still, an interrogation of the immune response to COVID-19 infection, spatially throughout the lung structure, is lacking in patients with COPD. For this study, we characterized the immune microenvironment of the lung parenchyma, airways, and vessels of never- and ever-smokers with or without COPD, all of whom died of COVID-19, using spatial transcriptomic and proteomic profiling. The parenchyma, airways, and vessels of COPD patients, compared to control lungs had (1) significant enrichment for lung-resident CD45RO+ memory CD4+ T cells; (2) downregulation of genes associated with T cell antigen priming and memory T cell differentiation; and (3) higher expression of proteins associated with SARS-CoV-2 entry and primary receptor ubiquitously across the ROIs and in particular the lung parenchyma, despite similar SARS-CoV-2 structural gene expression levels. In conclusion, the lung parenchyma, airways, and vessels of COPD patients have increased T-lymphocytes with a blunted memory CD4 T cell response and a more invasive SARS-CoV-2 infection pattern and may underlie the higher death toll observed with COVID-19.

title: Numerical Prediction and Validation of Suspension Flows and its Erosive Effect
Creators: name: Budde, Ibrahim

Publisher: name: VDMA
Year: 2022

description: Erosive wear occurs in many fields of materials handling technology; e.g., during transportation of bulk materials or suspensions, when particles collide with the walls of material handling components such as ducts or pumps. The severity of wear is closely determined by both, component materials and the flow conditions in the medium. Hence a prediction of the wear needs a combination of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and a Finite Element Method (FEM) that offers realistic simulation of erosion in materials handling components. This paper presents an approach to calculate particle trajectories of a suspension flow. The particle trajectories of a suspension flow are simulated using CFD and experimentally validated. The presented results are part of a project attributed to the VDMA Pumps + Systems which includes the erosion simulation using FEM [1]. The presented approach contributes to the pre-development of material handling components such as pumps and offers valuable assistance to manufactures. This allows a time- and costefficient development of wear-resistant components.

description: Background Traditional heroin-assisted treatment in Switzerland consists of oral and injectable diacetylmorphine (pharmaceutical heroin) administration. To date, no suitable treatment option is available for patients who crave rapid onset (“rush”) but are either unable to inject or primarily sniff or inhale illicit heroin. We present a patient who successfully switched to intranasal heroin-assisted treatment following several unsuccessful treatment attempts. Case presentation A 29-year-old male with severe opioid use disorder, injection substance use, and concomitant cocaine use, previously prescribed slow-release oral morphine, was started on intravenous diacetylmorphine. Due to complications and harms associated with intravenous injections, nasal diacetylmorphine was prescribed. With this novel route of administration, the patient who had previously been unable to adhere to other OAT options remained in treatment. Health outcomes improved by reduction of injection-related harms, increased adherence to the heroin-assisted treatment regimen, and increased collaboration with the therapeutic staff. Conclusions Nasal heroin-assisted treatment can be a feasible therapeutic option for individuals with severe opioid use disorder who crave the fast onset of effect of diacetylmorphine but are unable to inject intravenously.
title: Influence of Compressibility on Fan Efficiency and Fan Efficiency Scaling
Creators: name: Saul, Sebastian

Publisher: name: VDMA
Year: 2022

description: The similarity of Reynolds and Mach number for model and full scale fan cannot be retained for the dimensioning of large industrial fans. Scaling is supposed to compensate these differences in efficiency determination. The present paper indicates the influence of compressibility, e. g. the Mach number on efficiency and efficiency scaling of fans. The research is focused on experimental investigations and the use of common scaling laws proposed by Ackeret [1] and Pelz/Stonjek [2]. The investigations were done at the laboratories of the Chair of Fluid Systems at the Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany. A centrifugal fan with the specific speed σ = 0.114 was chosen because of its high pressure rise and high operating Mach number. As expected, the results show an increase in maximum efficiency by increasing Reynolds and Mach number up to ܽMa < 0.3. If the Reynolds and Mach number are increased further, the maximum efficiency stagnates and decreases for Mach numbers above ܽMa > 0.4. Both mentioned scaling laws consider the variation of Reynolds number, but none of them consider the effects of a change in Mach number. But a change in Mach number affects the friction losses, Carnot losses and incidence losses, which are discussed for the present fan as well.

description: From the faculty nominator, Mark McKibben: Adriane was a student in my Frontiers class "Godel, Escher, Bach: Three Geniuses and a Common Theme" in Fall 2004. The material for this class was extremely challenging, especially for first semester freshmen. However, both Adriane's contributions to class discussion and her written work were top-notch, and comparable in many ways to the work one would expect of a more advanced undergraduate student. This paper is no exception. I found the paper to be very well written. She interwove the main ideas of the course so nicely into the discussion of this topic that it was apparent that she took a substantial understanding of the material with her from the course.
description: I didn’t know what I was getting myself into when I registered for my Frontiers course, “Godel, Escher, Bach.” Our class, based on a book of the same name by Douglas Hofstadter, was largely math-based. As an Art History major, I was horrified. For my final project, I needed to find a topic my right-brain could more readily understand. The controversial issue of whether machines can make art was inspired by a PBS special called Scientific American Frontiers where host Alan Alda interviewed Harold Cohen, the creator of an artistic computer program called AARON. My paper chronicles the evolution of AARON in the context of whether computers should be considered creative.

I interned with religious peace activist Eliyahu MacLean to assist in the coordination of the Sulha Gathering, as part of the Sulha Peace Project.

What is unique about the Sulha is that it approaches peacebuilding from a religious framework, using Judaism and Islam as tools for peace, instead of as weapons of incitement and ethnocentric hatred. The Gathering was an incredible success that taught me a great deal about the power of religion and spirituality to penetrate deeply into the core of conflict, and to bring people together from a place of sincerity and depth. The Sulha Gathering creates the consciousness for true peace to be built between Israelis and Palestinians. This paper focuses on how various religious symbolism and ritual embues the Sulha with significance and lays the foundation for meaningful connections between Muslims and Jews.

description: Planning a pump system is a difficult task. Many different load profiles (scenarios) are given and have to be supported by the system. You can choose from a wide range of pumps and fittings to include them in the system. Many configurations of the chosen components have to be considered for this task. Therefore, an exponential number of possible systems can be imagined, more than a system designer can all think of. From this set of possible systems, it is hard to find the optimal system with minimal power consumption, acquisition costs or maintenance costs. Partners of this project developed a mathematical optimization program to compute this optimal pump system [1]. But such an optimization program is hard to read and to understand. Therefore, a domain specific language was designed to generate this optimization program. The language includes among others pump specifications, a selection of components to be used, their connections and different load profiles. The generated program is then solved by external software tools and evaluated to show the optimal system in a simulation model. The generated optimization program is analyzed to achieve user friendly feedback about feasibility of a system with the specific requirements. This paper presents some features of the language to proof that it is possible to specify a pumping system optimization scenario in a readable manner. Pumps are described by their characteristics, connection types and their costs. Characteristics are automatically linearized for a detailed model of the available operation points of the pump. If it is not possible to configure a system based on the given constraints, an error report will be generated indicating the problem in the original specification. For example, there would be an error message if the required pressure cannot be achieved by only using the given pumps. Another approach of this work is to evaluate the results of the optimization program solver. The result of the solver is a set of variables with their values. From this information a simulation model next to a layout of the cost optimal pump system are generated. In summary this work makes the power of mathematical optimization methods usable for a wide range of users. It is easy to plan an energy optimal system with the presented tool which supports all requirements. Compiler technologies can analyze the planned system and give the user a readable feedback for his work. Also it is possible to generate faster solvable optimization programs than normal crafted programs.

description: In this thesis, crystallographic, magnetic and elastic properties of Ni2MnAl based shape memory alloys have been investigated. Crystallographic investigations of the completely disordered Ni2Mn1.2Alo.8 have been carried out using neutron diffraction. The structure of the high temperature phase has been determined. A tool for approaching solutions of triclinic unit cell symmetries has been developed and applied on the experimental results of the low temperature phase. The analysis suggests structural contributions of monoclinic symmetry. Magnetic properties of completely disordered Ni2MnxAl2_x for x = 1.0, 1.1, ..., 1.4 have been investigated at temperatures of 5K < T < 350K and magnetic fields up to 5T. Strain-stress measurements have been carried out on Ni2Mni.2Al0.8- Young’s modulus has been determined for the temperatures T — 25°C, 75°C and 125°C.

description: Anknüpfend an die Diskussion zum „gestaltenden Staat“ als Transformationsakteur für nachhaltige Entwicklung wird auf der Basis  soziologischer und politikwissenschaftlicher Literatur zunächst ein Strukturwandel von Staat und Gesellschaft nachgezeichnet. Es wird herausgearbeitet, dass vier grundlegende gesellschaftlichen Dynamiken, denen vier staatliche Entwicklungen gegenüberstehen, für die Konzeptionierung eines „gestaltenden Staates“ relevant sind. Anschließend wird diskutiert, welche Herausforderungen sich aus dem Strukturwandel für staatliche und nicht-staatliche Akteure in der Umwelt- und Nachhaltigkeitspolitik ergeben. Schließlich werden exemplarische Handlungsoptionen aufgezeigt.

description: On the one hand museums use video, new media and the production of elaborate feature films as marketing tools to assert their international status as guardians of cultural heritage and to highlight the importance of their collections. On the other, the institutions’ desire for increased attention gives artists and filmmakers the opportunity to make historical and otherwise static objects subjects of complex filmic, narrative and dynamic structures. “Joint ventures” between museums and video artists and filmmakers furthermore allow the latter to engage critically with the museum’s collection and to question its politics. At times, however, their critical perspective comes to fruition in such a poignant way that their works appear to be more an intervention in museums to address and change existing politics of collecting practices and display. Chris Marker and Alain Resnais’ Les statues meurent aussi (1953) is a paradigmatic example of this, which also serves as an important reference for Sondra Perry and her more recent video installation IT’S IN THE GAME ’17 (2017) – the main object of study of this text.

description: From the faculty nominator, Janet Shope: As I read Jennifer's paper for Soc 217: Social Research Methods, I found myself muttering under my breath, "Excellent" "Great point" and "Wow." Using the General Social Survey, a national survey of Americans, Jennifer conducts a multivariate analysis of the factors that influence political participation and perceptions of political efficacy. Jennifer weaves together a solid methodolgical analysis with a theoretically rich interpretation; her findings reveal how social location influences both participation and efficacy. I was impressed with the overall sophistication of Jennifer's theoretical framework and her ability to use secondary data to explore questions about the nature of the individual's connection (or disconnection) to political institutions. Her paper far exceeded my expectations for an undergraduate research project.
description: This piece of work was a research project for the methods course in sociology. We were given the opportunity to research any topic of interest using the General Social Survey, a national survey administered to about 1,200 people across the United States. What I found to be the most rewarding and exciting was the fact that we were using real data; I was doing real research for the first time. The topic of political alienation grew out of personal curiosity. I wanted to try and understand why people feel alienated from a political system of a country whose rhetoric glorifies the democratic process. I wanted to understand what affects this sense of powerlessness and alienation; and in finding those influences, what can we learn about ourselves and, more importantly, what can we learn from the system of American politics - who is left out, who is included, who suffers and who benefits; what can be learned about the place in which we live, interact and operate? What I discovered, both through the actual research process as well as the conclusions that were drawn, altered the way in which I think, the way in which I question, and the way in which I continually attempt to understand the functions and consequences of social inequalities in this country.

Zeitgenössische Videokunst und die Koproduktion des Kunstmuseums

Publisher: name: 21: Inquiries into Art, History, and the Visual

description: The critical examination of the art museum is an important theme in contemporary video art. In contrast to museum films with an educational focus, video art offers a great deal of freedom in the handling, presentation, and reconsideration of collections. Nevertheless, video artists are also fundamentally dependent on constructive cooperation with the institutions, as the realisation is entirely dependant on the support of staff within the house and on the permission to film and publish. This contribution studies contemporary video art by Alexander Glandien, Laure Prouvost, and Marysia Lewandowska. It will discuss how the selected works subvert functional differentiations of art, institutional critique, and museum education by making the art museum its very subject.

description: Sara's paper was written for my Seminar in Cognitive Psychology. She chose this topic, "The Aging Brain" because it interested her. The amount of research on this topic is overwhelming for one paper. However, Sara studied the topic and found a way to limit the scope but still cover the main topics. This paper is the result. Sara also did an excellent job organizing and writing this outstanding paper.
description: Cognitive decline has been found to be an inevitable part of increased age in humans. Theories as to what particular mechanism is responsible for this decline are explored, including the working memory theory, processing speed theory, inhibition theory, and sensory function theory. Neurological components of aging are also discussed. Implications for individuals who wish to preserve their cognitive functioning include pursuing higher levels of education and learning new habits to help buffer against the effects of a decline in working memory function.
