title: Machbarkeitsstudie zur Nutzung der Werra-Wärme am Nadelwehr Hann. Münden
Creators: name: Schwarze, Simon Constantin

description: Wärmepumpen haben durch die Substitution fossiler Energieträger in der Wärmebereitstellung ein erhebliches Potenzial zur Reduktion von CO2-Emissionen. Die verstärkte Nutzung von Wärmepumpen trägt dazu bei eine dezentrale Wärmeversorgung zu fördern und die Abhängigkeit von Energieimporten aus anderen Ländern zu verringern. Im Rahmen dieser Masterarbeit werden Einsatzmöglichkeiten der thermischen Fließgewässernutzung in konkreten Gebäuden am Nadelwehr in der Altstadt Hann. Mündens untersucht. Die Analyse des Fließgewässerwärmepotenzials zeigt, dass der natürliche Wärmeinhalt der Werra ausreicht, um Raumwärme und Warmwasser bereitzustellen. Die untersuchten Gebäude am Nadelwehr haben einen spezifischen Wärmebedarf von 82 kWh/(m2⋅a) bis 187 kWh/(m2⋅a). Um die Effizienz der Wärmepumpe zu heben, ist eine Absenkung der Vorlauftemperatur des Heizungssystems anzustreben. Für die Raumwärme kann dazu der selektive Austausch einzelner, unterdimensionierter Heizkörper ein kosteneffizienter Weg sein. Die Quellenerschließung unmittelbar am Nadelwehr ist durch weitere Gewässernutzungen begrenzt. Die Werra unterliegt anthropogener Gewässererwärmung durch die Einleitung von Salzabwässern. Bivalente Betriebssysteme kombinieren eine Wärmepumpe mit einem bereits bestehenden fossilen Wärmeerzeuger zur Spitzenlastdeckung. Dadurch können Wärmequellenanlage und Wärmepumpe kleiner dimensioniert und Investitionskosten gesenkt werden. Bei einem Kostenverhältnis von Wärmepumpenstrom- zu Erdgaspreis kleiner 2,8 ist die Flusswärmepumpe bis zu einer Vorlauftemperatur des Heizsystems von 55 °C und einem Gütegrad η größer 0,4 aus wirtschaftlicher Sicht der bevorzugte Wärmeerzeuger. Varianten zur Wärmeentnahme wurden für die Gebäude mit unterschiedlichen energetischen Standards entwickelt und evaluiert. Als Vorzugsvariante ergibt sich ein geschlossenes System mit Edelstahl-Plattenwärmeübertrager. Der hydrothermale Deckungsanteil beträgt bei höchstem Auslegungsfaktor der Wärmepumpe maximal 83 %. Die wirtschaftliche Analyse für die untersuchten Gebäude ergibt Amortisationszeiten der Investitionskosten zwischen 10 bis 26 Jahren. Aus den Ergebnissen kann gefolgert werden, dass die Flusswärmenutzung für den Einsatz im Gebäudebestand geeignet ist, allerdings im Einzelfall überprüft werden muss, ob dies aus technischen und wirtschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten sinnvoll ist. Es gibt es einen großen Aufholbedarf an Praxiserfahrung für weitere Systemstandardisierungen.

description: We present spectral calibration equations for determining mafic silicate composition of near-Earth asteroid (25143) Itokawa from visible/near-infrared spectra measured using the Near Infrared Spectrometer (NIRS), on board the Japanese Hayabusa spacecraft. Itokawa was the target of the Hayabusa sample return mission and has a surface composition similar to LL-type ordinary chondrites. Existing laboratory spectral calibrations use a spectral wavelength range that is wider (0.75-2.5 microns) than that of the NIRS instrument (0.85-2.1 microns) making them unfit for interpreting the Hayabusa spectral data currently archived in the Planetary Data System. We used laboratory measured near-infrared reflectance spectra of ordinary (H, L and LL) chondrites from the study of Dunn et al. (2010), which we resampled to the NIRS wavelength range. Using spectral parameters extracted from these resampled spectra we established a relationship between band parameters and their mafic silicate composition (olivine and low-Ca pyroxene). We found a correlation >90% between mafic silicate composition (fayalite and forsterite mol. %) estimated by our spectral method and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measured values. To test the validity of the newly derived equations we blind tested them using nine laboratory-measured spectra of L and LL type chondrites with known composition. We found that the absolute difference between the measured and computed values is in the range 0.1 to 1.6 mol. %. Our study suggests that the derived calibration is robust and can be applied to Hayabusa NIRS data despite its limited spectral range. We applied the derived equations to a subset of uncalibrated NIRS spectra and the derived fayalite and ferrosilite values are consistent with Itokawa having a LL chondrite type surface composition.

description: BACKGROUND To estimate the clinical benefit of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) initiation vs deferral in a given month in patients with CD4 cell counts less than 800/μL. METHODS In this observational cohort study of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 seroconverters from CASCADE (Concerted Action on SeroConversion to AIDS and Death in Europe), we constructed monthly sequential nested subcohorts between January 1996 and May 2009, including all eligible HAART-naive, AIDS-free individuals with a CD4 cell count less than 800/μL. The primary outcome was time to AIDS or death in those who initiated HAART in the baseline month compared with those who did not, pooled across subcohorts and stratified by CD4 cell count. Using inverse probability-of-treatment weighted survival curves and Cox proportional hazards regression models, we estimated the absolute and relative effects of treatment with robust 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Of 9455 patients with 52,268 person-years of follow-up, 812 (8.6%) developed AIDS and 544 (5.8%) died. In CD4 cell count strata of 200 to 349, 350 to 499, and 500 to 799/μL, HAART initiation was associated with adjusted hazard ratios (95% CIs) for AIDS/death of 0.59 (0.43-0.81), 0.75 (0.49-1.14), and 1.10 (0.67-1.79), respectively. In the analysis of all-cause mortality, HAART initiation was associated with adjusted hazard ratios (95% CIs) of 0.71 (0.44-1.15), 0.51 (0.33-0.80), and 1.02 (0.49-2.12), respectively. Numbers needed to treat (95% CIs) to prevent 1 AIDS event or death within 3 years were 21 (14-38) and 34 (20-115) in CD4 cell count strata of 200 to 349 and 350 to 499/μL, respectively. CONCLUSION Compared with deferring in a given month, HAART initiation at CD4 cell counts less than 500/μL (but not 500-799/μL) was associated with slower disease progression.

description: Abstract Rapid environmental degradation in China makes understanding how perceived exposure to environmental harm influences environmental attitudes and participation in pro-environmental behaviors among the Chinese people crucial. We used a nation-wide survey dataset in urban China to test two hypotheses: experiencing environmental harm directly affects environmental behavior; environmental attitudes mediate the relationship between experiencing environmental harm and environmental behavior. We found respondents who experienced environmental harm had more pro-environmental attitudes. Experiencing environmental harm positively influenced pro-environmental behavior both directly and indirectly through the mediation of pro-environmental attitudes. Among the pro-environmental behaviors, environmental litigation was most strongly related with exposure to environmental harm. Our results suggest that more participation in pro-environmental behaviors may be expected as rapid economic development increases public exposure to environmental harm in urban China.

description: Absenteeism of health workers in developing countries is widespread with some estimates indicating rates of provider absence of nearly 40% (Chaudhury et. al. 2006). This is the first paper to present evidence of the impact of health provider absence combined with limitations in health clinic protocol on health outcomes. Using longitudinal data from nearly 600 ante-natal care seekers at a rural ante-natal clinic in Western Kenya, we find that nurse absence on a patient’s first visit significantly reduces the probability that a woman tests for HIV over her entire pregnancy. Since the benefits of PMTCT services depend on HIV status, we proxy HIV status with self-reported pre-test expectations of being HIV-positive and estimate the heterogeneous impact of absence based on these self-reported expectations. We find that women with a high pre-test expectation of testing HIV-positive and whose first ANC visit coincides with nurse attendance are 25 percentage points more likely to deliver in a hospital or health center, 7.4 percentage points more likely to receive PMTCT medication, 9 percentage points less likely to breastfeed and 10 percentage points more likely to enroll in the free AIDS treatment program at the clinic than similar women whose first visit coincides with nurse absence. The procedural shortcomings in our study setting, shortcomings that do not enable pregnant women to test on a subsequent clinic visit, appear common in other countries in sub-Saharan Africa. They suggest that nurse absence in the context of this medical system translates into sizable reductions in child and maternal health.

description: Hadrons have finite interaction size with dense material, a basic feature common to known forms of hadronic calorimeters (HCAL). We argue that substructure variables cannot use HCAL information to access the microscopic nature of jets much narrower than the hadronic shower size, which we call superboosted massive jets. It implies that roughly 15% of their transverse energy profile remains inaccessible due to the presence of long-lived neutral hadrons. This part of the jet substructure is also subject to order-one fluctuations. We demonstrate that the effects of the fluctuations are not reduced when a global correction to jet variables is applied. The above leads to fundamental limitations in the ability to extract intrinsic information from jets in the superboosted regime. The neutral fraction of a jet is correlated with its flavor. This leads to an interesting and possibly useful difference between superboosted W/Z/h/t jets and their corresponding backgrounds. The QCD jets that form the background to the signal superboosted jets might also be qualitatively different in their substructure as their mass might lie at or below the Sudakov mass peak. Finally, we introduce a set of zero-cone longitudinal jet substructure variables and show that while they carry information that might be useful in certain situations, they are not in general sensitive to the jet substructure.

description: Using data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study, this study revisited rural-nonrural disparities in educational attainment by considering a comprehensive set of factors that constrain and support youth's college enrollment and degree completion. Results showed that rural students were more advantaged in community social resources compared to nonrural students, and these resources were associated with a significant increase in the likelihood of bachelor's degree attainment. Yet results confirmed that rural students lagged behind nonrural students in attaining a bachelor's degree largely due to their lower socioeconomic background. The findings present a more comprehensive picture of the complexity of geographic residence in shaping college enrollment and degree attainment.

description: UHECR propagation in a turbulent intergalactic magnetic field in the small-angle scattering regime is well understood for propagation distances much larger than the field coherence scale. The diffusion theory doesn't work and unexpected effects may appear for propagation over smaller distances, from a few and up to 10-20 coherence scales. We study the propagation of UHECRs in this regime, which may be relevant for intermediate mass UHECR nuclei and nG scale intergalactic magnetic fields with 1 Mpc coherence scale. We found that the trajectories form a non-trivial caustic-like pattern with strong deviation from isotropy. Thus, measurements of the flux from a source at a given distance will depend on the position of the observer.

description: We explore the acceleration effect on the genuine tripartite nonlocality (GTN) for one or two accelerated detector(s) coupled to the vacuum field with initial mixed tripartite states. We show that the Hawking radiation degrades the physically accessible GTN, which suffers from "sudden death" at certain critical Hawking temperature. An novel phenomenon has been observed first time that the Hawking effect can generate the physically inaccessible GTN for fermion fields in curved spacetime, the "sudden birth" of the physically inaccessible GTN. This result shows that the GTN can pass through the event horizon of black hole for certain mixed initial states. We also derived analytically the tradeoff relations of genuine tripartite entanglement (GTE) and quantum coherence under the influence of Hawking effect.

The XRMS measurements reveal that the GdCo$_2$Zn$_{20}$ compound has a commensurate antiferromagnetic spin structure with a magnetic propagation vector $\vecτ$ = $(\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2})$ below the Néel temperature ($T_N \sim$ 5.7 K). Only the Gd ions carry a magnetic moment forming an antiferromagnetic structure with magnetic representation $Γ_6$. For the ferromagnetic GdFe$_2$Zn$_{20}$ compound, an extensive investigation was performed at low temperature and under magnetic field using XANES and XMCD techniques. A strong XMCD signal of about 12.5 $\%$ and 9.7 $\%$ is observed below the Curie temperature ($T_C \sim$ 85 K) at the Gd-$L_2$ and $L_3$ edges, respectively. In addition, a small magnetic signal of about 0.06 $\%$ of the jump is recorded at the Zn $K$-edge suggesting that the Zn 4$p$ states are spin polarized by the Gd 5$d$ extended orbitals.
title: Improving the Handling, Transport and Release of Sterile Male Mosquitoes as Part of an Area-wide Integrated Pest Management Strategy
Creators: name: Culbert, Nicole
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2020

description: The global burden of vector-borne diseases continues to grow year on year. Diseases transmitted by mosquitoes lead to more than 700,000 deaths each year, with malaria alone accounting for almost half a million of the total deaths. Such statistics underline the urgency for alternative complementary control measures. The sterile insect technique (SIT) is one of several genetic control measures routinely used throughout the world to suppress, contain or eradicate various species of agricultural, veterinary or human insect pests. SIT is a technique which has proved successful and sustainable, particularly when deployed as part of an area-wide integrated pest management programme (AW-IPM). A build-up of insecticide resistance coupled with the global spread of species such as Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus has reignited interest in developing mosquito SIT as part of an AW-IPM approach. Significant progress has been made in the last decade towards taking mosquito SIT to the operational level, however, distinct gaps still remain in the literature, especially regarding the post-pupal irradiation stages. The aim of this research thesis was to address some of the key issues where information was lacking, specifically the handling, transport and release of sterile male mosquitoes. The impact of immobilisation temperature and duration on male mosquito survivalwas investigated in Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus and Anopheles arabiensis, in order to determine a suitable storage and transportation temperature range when conducting releases of sterile male mosquitoes. The effect of compaction during storage was investigated and a maximum tolerable threshold determined. A standardised method to mark male mosquitoes for a small-scale field release was developed and verified in Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus and Anopheles arabiensis. A novel flight ability device, which aims to assess male mosquito quality was created and validated for Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus and subsequently modified and verified for Anopheles arabiensis.The effect of varying environmental conditions relating to the time of day that sterile male releases could occur was investigated for both male Anopheles arabiensis and Aedes aegypti. Finally, an adult aerial release device was developed in conjunction with the NGO WeRobotics and as part of a United States Agency for International Development grant. The system was successfully field tested in Brazil via a series of mark-release-recapture studies. As mosquito SIT nears the operational phase, it is hoped this research is a starting point when addressing some of the outstanding questions related to the handling, transport and release of sterile male mosquitoes.

description: In the past years, several observations of AGN and X-ray binaries have suggested the existence of a warm T around 0.5-1 keV and optically thick, τ~ 10-20, corona covering the inner parts of the accretion disk. These properties are directly derived from spectral fitting in UV to soft-X-rays using Comptonization models. However, whether such a medium can be both in radiative and hydrostatic equilibrium with an accretion disk is still uncertain. We investigate the properties of such warm, optically thick coronae and put constraints on their existence. We solve the radiative transfer equation for grey atmosphere analytically in a pure scattering medium, including local dissipation as an additional heating term in the warm corona. The temperature profile of the warm corona is calculated assuming it is cooled by Compton scattering, with the underlying dissipative disk providing photons to the corona. Our analytic calculations show that a dissipative thick, (τ_{cor} ~ 10-12) corona on the top of a standard accretion disk can reach temperatures of the order of 0.5-1 keV in its upper layers provided that the disk is passive. But, in absence of strong magnetic fields, the requirement of a Compton cooled corona in hydrostatic equilibrium in the vertical direction sets an upper limit on the Thomson optical depth τ_{cor} < 5 . We show this value cannot be exceeded independently of the accretion disk parameters. However, magnetic pressure can extend this result to larger optical depths. Namely, a dissipative corona might have an optical depth up to ~ 20 when the magnetic pressure is 100 times higher that the gas pressure. The observation of warm coronae with Thomson depth larger than ~ 5 puts tights constraints on the physics of the accretion disk/corona systems and requires either strong magnetic fields or vertical outflows to stabilize the system.

Shame on you! Cognitive mechanisms and neural correlates of shame
Creators: name: Pappaianni, Edoardo

description: Shame is a self-conscious emotion that characterizes the life of all individuals. It arises when a moral violation occurs and the person is judged negatively by others for a way of being that does not correspond to the standards of society. Although over the years it has been widely treated from a theoretical point of view, there are few attempts in the literature to approach it scientifically by psychologists and neuroscientists. Using an integrated approach, based on neuroimaging, behavioral and neuropsychological investigations, in this thesis we aimed to investigate what are the cognitive mechanisms through which shame operates and what are its neural bases. After an initial theoretical introduction in which a novel model of shame functioning is proposed, two behavioral studies are presented in which an innovative experimental paradigm of shame elicitation has been validated and tested. Subsequently, the single-case of a patient with rare bilateral amygdala damage has been described. Since this region is notoriously crucial for emotional aspects, we tested the possibility that an amygdala injury could also lead to deficits in perception and recognition of shame. Afterward, to investigate if shame had its own specific neural activation map, a meta-analysis on functional studies in the literature that investigated the neural bases of shame and guilt (another self-conscious emotion) has been carried out. Finally, given the heterogeneity of the paradigms included in the meta-analysis, we run an fMRI study using our novel paradigm in order to detect shame neural signal. In general, by combining different methodologies, this work allowed us to approach shame from different perspectives, from simple elicitation and behavioral measurement to its neural basis. This has added a piece of knowledge in the field of affective neuroscience regarding a moral emotion (i.e. shame) that is fundamental to individual well-being within our society.

description: Wireless body and personal area networks have become commonplace in recent years in industrial, medical, and consumer-based applications, allowing a collection of devices such as medical sensors to be distributed around a person’s body or within their direct vicinity, to communicate with each other or a network controller to provide convenient personal services. Distributed devices are typically compact and can even be located within the human body. This produces several bottlenecks relating to RF ability and power availability which are addressed here. In this thesis, two antennas are developed. The first is designed for implantable and ingestible applications offering robust wideband performance, covering all the useable licenced operating bands, in the complex material characteristic environment of the human body. The radiation characteristics of the proposed antenna outperform other published work with a smaller size, achieved through the novel application of split-ring resonators. The second is an off-body antenna which concurrently provides appropriately polarised bands for indoor and outdoor localisation and data communication. For its minimised size and wide bandwidth, this antenna also outperforms other antennas for WPAN applications published in the literature. Two methods for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer have been proposed in this work, based on novel theoretical ideas and hardware implementations. A symbol splitting system separates the information- and non-information- carrying components of a signal, using each for data reception and energy harvesting, respectively. The second method makes use of the characteristic of the requisite rectifier in the power conversion from RF to DC, recycling the inevitable third harmonic for data reception. The hardware required to achieve both methodologies utilise couplers and each architecture has been proven feasible through simulation and measurement. They provide comparable performance to other published systems, offering a compact, efficient, and convenient route to simultaneous wireless information and power transfer.
