description: ABSTRACT An elutriation apparatus was proposed for testing the settleability of CSOs and applied to 12 CSO samples. In this apparatus, solids settling is measured under dynamic conditions created by flow through a series of settling chambers of varying diameters and upward flow velocities. Such a procedure reproduces better turbulent settling in CSO tanks than the conventional settling columns, and facilitates testing coagulant additions under dynamic conditions. Among the limitations, one could name the relatively large size of the apparatus and samples (60 L), and inadequate handling of floatables. Settleability results obtained for the elutriation apparatus and a conventional settling column indicate large inter-event variation in CSO settleability. Under such circumstances, settling tanks need to be designed for \342\200\234average\342\200\235 conditions and, within some limits, the differences in test results produced by various settleability testing apparatuses and procedures may be acceptable. Further development of the elutriation apparatus is under way, focusing on reducing flow velocities in the tubing connecting settling chambers and reducing the number of settling chambers employed. The first measure would reduce the risk of floc breakage in the connecting tubing and the second one would reduce the required sample size.

description: Computational Chemistry offers accurate physics-based simulation methods to assist in drug discovery and protein modeling problems. The associated computational costs grow significantly with a number of atoms. Machine learning algorithms solve this problem by accelerating computations while preserving accuracy. Recently, a deep neural network has obtained nearly exact solutions of the electronic Schrödinger equation for small molecules. Another recent breakthrough is the prediction of three-dimensional structures of proteins by neural network-based methods, Alphafold and RoseTTafold. In my PhD, I worked on three different domains of computational chemistry where we integrated machine learning to improve as well as accelerate conventional techniques; 1) Designed an efficient workflow for drug discovery by integrating a hybrid neural-network (pseudo-quantum) and classical forcefields based molecular dynamics simulations against COVID-19 main protease (MPRO), 2) Developed a machine learning- enabled pipeline for large-scale virtual drug screening using clustering and deep learning in combination with physics-based approaches against RPN11 - a drug target for breast cancer, and 3) Implemented a generative deep network to guide conformational sampling of intrinsically disordered proteins; an efficient protocol to accelerate molecular dynamics simulations. Together, these PhD projects present a new perspective on how machine learning can be used in the rapid and accurate screening of new drugs and accelerating molecular dynamics simulations for mining proteins conformational landscape. With the advances in the machine learning field, this work will have many other possible applications to help accelerate molecular dynamics and drug-discovery platforms.

description: This paper describes part of a new programme of research into the performance of pervious pavement structures in Spain. The project is collaboration between University of Cantabria and Coventry University and it tries to introduce the use of pervious surfaces in Spain at the same time as innovating these techniques. An experimental study of the structural and hydraulic effectiveness and suitability of different materials for the pervious surface (concrete blocks, porous asphalt and porous concrete) and the sub-base (limestone, recycled concrete and mixes with recycled plastic) is being carried out considering their ability to support the microbiological communities for the biodegradation, including the study of geotextiles and their ability to retain humidity during dry periods. This research is taking place under weather conditions corresponding to the North of Spain, an area with excellent potential for introduction of all kinds of SUDS. Work is being carried out in the laboratory and at field sites in Gijon and Santander. The paper presents initial results on the hydraulic performance of two different concrete blocks and their clogging tendency under differing conditions of slope, silt and rain. These lead to initial conclusions on design, lifespan and maintenance needs.
AbdoMReg: A Deep Learning Framework for Abdominal MR Deformable Image Registration

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Nowadays, novel imaging techniques benefit various clinical applications ranging from patient diagnosis and follow-up to real-time medical imaging integration to guide critical surgical procedures. The imaging tool fundamental for all these processes is image registration, which seeks to find the optimal spatial transformation that best aligns the anatomical structures imaged. Currently, Deep Learning-based Image Registration (DLIR) approaches, like VoxelMorph, use U-Net-based architectures to substitute the iterative methods warping steps, with the single-shot registration function learning, from affine/rigid pre-aligned images, thus expanding the applications to time-sensitive clinical scenarios. Despite this, most common approaches apply image registration to the brain, which usually deals with localized deformations, being confined to deformed in the rigid bony structure of the skull. However, other organ transformations, such as the abdominal ones, could show wider deformation ranges and vaster anatomical differences between patients than the brain ones. This aspect may lead the affine/rigid pre-alignment to not be sufficiently near the solution, causing the subsequent deformable matching procedure to converge poorly. Furthermore, loss functions are adopted regardless of image content and permissible deformations, thus producing suboptimal transformations classes. In this context, this thesis proposes AbdoMReg: an unsupervised deformable DLIR framework based on a U-Net architecture specialized for abdominal Magnetic Resonance (MR) images, adopting the VoxelMorph framework as a backbone to make it reliable to more complex deformations than the brain ones. AbdoMReg proposes data engineering tools to provide normalized and synthetic data generation, monomodal and multimodal intrapatient and monomodal interpatient image registrations, novel loss function terms to correct the interpatient larger organs displacements and inference tools to estimate the registration of new image pairs with or without pre-alignment of an organ of interest. Compared to state-of-the-art iterative and DLIR methods, AbdoMReg leads up to 10% Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) improvement, when dealing with the high variability of abdominal deformations and organs' misalignments, as well as 40 times faster registration performances than iterative methods, thus potentially expanding the medical application scenario even to the most critical use-cases.

description: Accelerated climate ageing investigations are carried out in order to study the durability of various building materials in a substantial shorter time span than natural weather ageing would have allowed. Climate parameters like temperature (including freezing/thawing cycles), relative air humidity, water spray amount, solar and/or ultraviolet radiation and exposure duration are controlled in different climate ageing apparatuses. Various ageing processes in the building materials, ageing both by natural and accelerated climate exposure, may be studied in an attenuated total reflectance (ATR) fourier transform infrared (FTIR) radiation analysis following the decomposition and formation of chemical bonds in materials or products.

The ATR-FTIR experimental method represents a powerful measurement tool on various materials. This method may be applied on both solid state materials, liquids and gases with none or only minor sample preparations, also including materials which are non transparent to IR radiation. Such a facilitation is made possible by pressing the sample directly onto various crystals with high refractive indices, e.g. diamond, in a special reflectance setup. Thus ATR saves time and enables the study of materials in a pristine condition, i.e. the comprehensive sample preparation by pressing thin KBr pellets as in traditional FTIR transmittance spectroscopy is avoided.

Both qualitative and quantitative results may be obtained by an ATR-FTIR analysis using regular recordings of FTIR spectra. In order to determine the ageing progress and assess the effective lifetime of materials, components or products, FTIR spectra should be recorded both before, during and after the climate ageing. Hence, FTIR may be developed as an important tool to track the condition of various materials, components and products during the lifetime of a building, and thereby be applied as a tool for condition assessment, selection of maintenance intervals and service life prediction of buildings.

description: The conformational and dynamical properties of isolated semiflexible active polar ring polymers are investigated analytically. A ring is modeled as continuous Gaussian polymer exposed to tangential active forces. The analytical solution of the linear non-Hermitian equation of motion in terms of an eigenfunction expansion shows that ring conformations are independent of activity. In contrast, activity strongly affects the internal ring dynamics and yields characteristic time regimes, which are absent in passive rings. On intermediate time scales, flexible rings show an activity-enhanced diffusive regime, while semiflexible rings exhibit ballistic motion. Moreover, a second active time regime emerges on longer time scales, where rings display a snake-like motion, which is reminiscent to a tank-treading rotational dynamics in shear flow, dominated by the mode with the longest relaxation time.

description: International studies, like the PISA study, detect the performance of pupils. Besides the teaching method, other influences are also relevant for their performance. The environment in the classrooms is supposed to play an important role.
The environment in the classroom is affected by many different factors. One of them is the room ventilation. The air quality is mainly influenced by the air change in the room. As most of German schools are not equipped with mechanical ventilation systems, window ventilation controlled by the occupant is the main way to maintain healthy, performance-supporting conditions in the classrooms in terms of air quality.
For that purpose the window opening behavior of the occupants was measured in one German school in five different classrooms. A permanent data logging was performed in one school in northern Germany. Five classrooms in four different buildings, built between 1900 and 1990, were measured.
Every window in each classroom was equipped with a sensor to detect the time and duration of its opening.
The classroom characteristics like glazed area, type of shading device, window opening type and thermal storage properties were documented for analysis. Additionally temperature, relative humidity and carbon dioxide concentration in the interior air as well as the exterior climate conditions were measured every minute for half a year. This allows the evaluation of the parameters with biggest influence on the window ventilation by the occupants.
First results show, that window opening events occur mainly in the beginning of the lessons, at their very end or in the breaks between the lessons. Exterior climate conditions influence the occupants behavior in so far that the colder the exterior air is, the shorter the windows are opened. Furthermore the carbon dioxide concentration in the classrooms used as a measure of the air quality or bad air quality itself can not be perceived by the occupants. Pupils and teachers therefore do not open windows despite very high concentrations.
First assessments indicate that how windows are opened in the examined German school is not always purposeful with respect to health, comfort and energy use.

description: Re-use and renovation of buildings are core strategies towards a rational environmental policy. It preserves not only the city memory and cultural values but also diminish the use of non-removable natural resources and save energy. However, many after-war modern buildings in Europe have poor climatic design which can leads both to uncomfortable indoor conditions during hot summers and to a high energy consumption by cooling.

This study focuses on the simulation, evaluation and improvement of indoor thermal comfort in an existing free-standing residential building in Palermo, Sicily (see ref. 1,2). The evaluation and quantification of the (dis)comfort is a result of simulations carried out by coupling Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Building Energy Simulation programs (BES). Values of indoor air speed and pressure coefficients are obtained from CFD calculations and further used as input in BES calculations and comfort analysis. Two BES programs EnergyPlus and TRNSYS are compared. Both programs are coupled with airflow simulation program COMIS. Simplified and improved calculation methods are respectively used in CFD and BES programs for the cases of vertical and horizontal louver systems. Special attention has been given to the physical model, boundary conditions and influencing parameters.

The results show that the use of CFD calculations is required for the prediction of indoor air speed which is a necessary parameter for comfort calculations. Concerning the comfort analysis, the results show that in this particular case the overheating problem could be improved by passive means by the application of several strategies like the use of existing balconies with external louver systems and whole day natural cross ventilation.

description: We present an in-depth study of the reflectance spectra of 39 equilibrated and 41 unequilibrated ordinary chondrites. We demonstrate that consistent measuring conditions are vital for the direct comparison of spectral features between chondrites, otherwise hampering any conclusions. We include a comparison with a total of 466 S-type asteroid reflectance spectra. We analyze (i) if a difference between EOCs and UOCs as well as between H, L and LL can be seen, (ii) if it is possible to identify unequilibrated and equilibrated S-type asteroid surfaces and (iii) if we can further constrain the match between OCs and S-type asteroids all based on reflectance spectra. We checked the classification of the 31 Antarctic UOCs analyzed in the present work, using petrography and magnetic measurements, and evidenced that 74% of them were misclassified. Reflectance spectra were compared between EOCs and UOCs as well as between H, L and LL chondrites using a set of spectral features including band depths and positions, peak reflectance values, spectral slopes and the Ol/(Ol + Px) ratio. UOCs and EOCs reflectance spectra show no clear-cut dichotomy, but a continuum with some EOCs showing stronger absorption bands and peak reflectance values, while others are comparable to UOCs. We show by the example of 6 EOCs that their band depths decrease with decreasing grain size. Based on reflectance spectra alone, it is thus highly challenging to objectively identify an unequilibrated from an equilibrated S-type surface. There is no clear distinction of the chemical groups: only LL EOCs of petrographic type > 4 can be distinguished from H and L through less deep 2-mic band depths and 1-mic band positions at longer wavelengths. Lastly, an anti-correlation between the diameter of the asteroids and their 1000 nm band depth is found indicating that larger sized S-type asteroids show finer grained surfaces.

Sibling Implemented Enhanced Milieu Teaching for Language Development of Children with Autism

description: The diagnostic characteristics of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) includes challenges in social communication skills. Among different components of social communication, language, particularly vocabulary, must be supported early in children’s development as language is shown to be associated with academic, social, cognitive, and adaptive skills and their development trajectory. Enhanced milieu teaching (EMT) is one of evidence-based, naturalistic interventions that are designed to support the vocabulary development of young children with ASD. EMT is often implemented by caregivers, therapists, or teachers; however, there is no study that evaluated the effectiveness of sibling-implemented EMT on the vocabulary use of children with ASD. With the rise of COVID-19, there is an increased duration of family interactions at home which led to the need for more structured and effective strategies for social interactions, especially for children with ASD. As siblings frequently engage in social interactions such as play, training older siblings to facilitate effective communication and play with their younger siblings with ASD could improve the language development of children with ASD as well as the siblings’ social interactions. Adapting a multiple probe design, the study examined the effects of sibling-implemented EMT with virtual performance feedback for the siblings without ASD on the siblings’ implementation fidelity of EMT and language outcomes and percentage of responses by children with ASD. Generalization with a novel material and maintenance over one week, two weeks, or one month was measured. Social validity questionnaires were completed by the siblings and the caregivers after the intervention. The findings provide implications for family-centered evidence-based practices, particularly through the use of virtual training for family members including the siblings of children with ASD.

description: Some of the historically painted windows in the Church St Mary in Rostock had been saved but partly damaged during the 2nd World War. Now they were restored with the aid of “Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umweltschutz (DBU)” and they got an external additional protection window with a space of 80 mm to the old one.
This protection window is tight in its led-joints between the glasses and with a new developed led-lip to the brick-wall.
The gap between the two windows is ventilated to the interior of the church by upper and lower openings of 100 mm inclined apertures.
While restoration work, several sensors could be installed from exterior and interior scaffolds in 30 m height at different points of a northern and southern window. They are:
•	Thermo-couplers for air and material temperatures
•	Combined hygro-thermal sensors for air
•	Anemometers for airspeed in the gap of the windows
•	Differential air pressure meters between interior, gap and exterior
•	Collected water at the bottom of the Windows
•	Manual brick humidity sensors
The measured datas were collected every hour on a computer on top of the vault over one year and were added by weather data from the “Deutsche Wetterdienst” in Warnemünde.
Before starting the measurement the air-tightness of the windows had been tested with a modified blower door. Before starting and after finishing the microbiological impact of the glasses has been checked.
The results of the monitoring proofed, that
•	the protection window is sufficient tight
•	the ventilated gap between the windows causes that the interior historic painted window has nearly the same temperature as the interior air. Temperature differences causes convection and temperature compensation.
•	the risk of condensation on the interior window is low. Microbiological impact which was found after 1 year was not vital.

Entering the Zenana: Ephemera and Power in Mughal Architecture

description: Seated within a richly decorated Mughal garden pavilion, Nur Jahan hosts the emperor Jahangir and his son, the future Shah Jahan. This is the scene captured in Jahangir and Prince Khurram Entertained by Nur Jahan (1640), my central case study. The painting demonstrates the rich potential of Mughal ephemeral architecture to recover the agency of royal Mughal women. However, while we may find traces of Nur Jahan in an archive of Mughal paintings and literary sources, the cohort of laborers in the zenana who supported her endeavors continue to haunt Mughal history. This thesis focuses on ephemeral architecture or the physical and sensorial elements of architecture that change constantly through both human and thingly intervention. I argue that in the ephemeral architecture of the zenana we see the actions of royal Mughal women and the labor force that supported them, both of whom are difficult to recover from court chronicles and later Mughal histories. An expansive approach to architecture alters how we understand power dynamics within these spaces, as by examining who held power over the ephemeral architecture we can track how the politics in these spaces changed over time. Therefore, this thesis explores the double haunting of Mughal architecture, as the experiences of women in these spaces have been obscured by multilayered heteropatriarchal forces. Ultimately, the thesis reclaims the Mughal zenana from its image in popular culture as a site of repression and exploitation to reexamine it as a politically and socially meaningful imperial structure.
Thermal transfer through membrane cushions analyzed by Computational Fluid Dynamics

description: Building envelopes built of membrane cushions are sometimes called the new face of architecture. This new and innovative building technology stands out due to an increasing growth worldwide. Because of its newness some standards, which are long time established for other types of construction, are not available for membrane cushions.
There are no methods available how to calculate the thermal transfer through the membrane cushion in everyday engineering practice. Existing standards refer to windows and can not be used for membrane cushions because of different material, shape, dimensions and curvature.
Deeper knowledge about what occurs inside the cushions and its effects on thermal transfer is not available. Even basic understanding about processes inside and around the cushions is often missing, which leads to problems in the whole area of building physics.
The thermal transfer through this building part depends mainly on the airflow within the cushion and the surface to surface radiation. Both mechanisms can be calculated with commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools. This simulation technique was used for the study.
Within the study presented the natural convection inside membrane cushions was investigated. Parameter studies with different temperature boundary conditions as driving potential, different cushion volumes and inclinations provide insight into varying flow patterns resulting from the different conditions. The dimensions of the simulation model correspond to the dimensions of an experimental set-up for a membrane cushion tested under realistic outdoor conditions.
Different states of flow patterns can be defined as result of the parameter variations. A general description of these states leads to basic generalizations about natural convection and surface to surface radiation within the membrane cushion. The numeric fluid mechanics study provides additional insight which can lead to improved constructions and adaptation of existing codes and standards.
A comparison with measurements in membrane cushions tested under real conditions shows similar flow patterns and temperature fields for measurement and simulation. The results of this study can help to develop a simple method for the determination of the thermal transfer through the membrane cushion and a resulting U-value.

description: The efforts which had been done to retrofit the kindergarten “Plappersnut” in Wismar has been described in the periodical BAUPHYSIK 6/2005, when the team of this retrofitting program (sponsored by the German Minister of Economy) won an award of this periodical.
Therefore this contribution will focus on the following specialties in building physics:
•	Methods to reduce the energy use in this building and comparison of the measured and calculated energy effort of the old and retrofitted building
•	Thermal behavior of the unheated transparent hall between the two buildings, its problems and solutions
•	Construction and installation of two Vakuum-Insulation-Panel-(VIP-) systems installed at the front-walls of the buildings, its tests in the climate chamber and calculations especially due to thermal bridges and there influence on the energy losses as well as long-time measurements and observations of durability (cracks).

After finishing the construction work,
•	a two years monitoring on building physics and specific tests on radiation and convection have been made. Additional theoretical investigations shall lead to a PhD-thesis
•	this building has been well accepted by the children and the staff, so another kindergarten of the same type will be retrofitted with the results of the first one.
Information about this will be given too.

description: Nowadays, Semi-Supervised Object Detection (SSOD) is a hot topic, since, while it is rather easy to collect images for creating a new dataset, labeling them is still an expensive and time-consuming task. One of the successful methods to take advantage of raw images on a Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL) setting is the Mean Teacher technique, where the operations of pseudo-labeling by the Teacher and the Knowledge Transfer from the Student to the Teacher take place simultaneously. However, the pseudo-labeling by thresholding is not the best solution since the confidence value is not strictly related to the prediction uncertainty, not permitting to safely filter predictions. In this paper, we introduce an additional classification task for bounding box localization to improve the filtering of the predicted bounding boxes and obtain higher quality on Student training. Furthermore, we empirically prove that bounding box regression on the unsupervised part can equally contribute to the training as much as category classification. Our experiments show that our IL-net (Improving Localization net) increases SSOD performance by 1.14% AP on COCO dataset in limited-annotation regime.

description: Indoor buoyant convection is a topic, where in strong contrast to the field of forced convection by ventilation systems, publications of measured data including all necessary boundary conditions for numerical simulations are very scarce. For this reason it is difficult for users of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation software to validate their results. This is a significant obstacle especially for beginners in the field of CFD.

A project of Technische Universität München and Universtität Kassel is aimed to change the situation by two-dimensional velocity measurements of cases of free convection in a real scale setup via Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV)/Particle Streak  Velocimetry (PSV). The results are meant to lay solid ground for the validation of CFD-simulations dealing with indoor conditions.

The measurements in the first stage of the project take several aspects of indoor buoyant convection into account and will also start to investigate the efficiency of window ventilation due to temperature differences.

By use of the two-dimensional measurements of air velocities, air and surface temperatures it is possible to gain comfort criteria and to compare them to field studies with test persons.

Electronic publishing of the measured data as well as of all needed boundary conditions for validation use is planned to start by the date of the conference. A web-based platform will enable discussions among registered users and the publication of own simulation results in later stages of the project.

description: The environmental concern in the sewerage field has led Barcelona to build and operate its first CSO (combined sewer overflow) detention tank. It has been built in the zone of Forum de les Cultures 2004 and its main objective is the environmental protection of the new area seafront. This tank will be part of the Remote Control System of Barcelona\342\200\231s sewer network so its regulation strategy has been designed. This paper presents the design process of the regulation strategy that operates on the mobile elements of the tank such as gates and pumping stations. This regulation strategy must be coordinated with the waste water treatment plant (WWTP) which is the final destination of the water stored in the tank. Special parameters have been taken into account: water permanence time indicator, redox and DO (Dissolved Oxygen) measurements, which tell about the quality of the water kept in the tank. Taulat CSO detention tank Automatic Local Regulation demonstrates that integral management of the sewer system, waste water treatment plant and receiving waters helps to improve bath water quality in the tank\342\200\231s actuation zone.
