Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Roadside noise barrier helps to reduce downwind pollutants concentration from vehicle emission. This positive characteristic of the construction feature can be explained by its interaction with flow distribution and species transportation. In this thesis, 3-D numerical model has been developed to simulate highway pollutant transportation - realizable k-e model was employed to model turbulent flow; non-reaction species dispersion was applied to simulate species transport. First, numerical models were validated with experimental data. Good agreement was observed. Then detailed simulations were conducted to study double barriers’ effects on highway pollutant dispersion under different settings: noise barriers with different heights, noise barriers with and without edge effects, different atmospheric thermal boundary conditions. Results show that: (1) Noise barrier feature helps reduce downwind pollutant concentration. For 4m tall double barriers without edge effect case, 80% less concentration can be found than non-barrier case at downwind 100m; (2) Reduction of concentration increases as barrier height increases. 1m higher can lead 0.002 more concentration reduction at ground level. (3) Unstable condition has the least concentration and stable condition has the highest concentration at the same location. (4) Barrier with edge effect has higher concentration than barrier without edge effect downwind; (5) Oblique wind condition enlarges barrier edge effect. The larger the oblique angle is, the higher turbulence intensity can be found near barrier edges. These findings will be provide valuable input to noise barriers design so as to improve roadside neighborhood air quality.

description: Influenza A virus (IAV) defective RNAs are generated as byproducts of error-prone viral RNA replication. They are commonly derived from the larger segments of the viral genome and harbor deletions of various sizes resulting in the generation of replication incompatible viral particles. Furthermore, small subgenomic RNAs are known to be strong inducers of pattern recognition receptor RIG-I-dependent type I interferon (IFN) responses. The present study identifies a novel IAV-induced defective RNA derived from the PB2 segment of A/Thailand/1(KAN-1)/2004 (H5N1). It encodes a 10 kDa protein (PB2∆) sharing the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the parental PB2 protein followed by frame shift after internal deletion. PB2∆ induces the expression of IFNβ and IFN-stimulated genes by direct interaction with the cellular adapter protein MAVS, thereby reducing viral replication of IFN-sensitive viruses such as IAV or vesicular stomatitis virus. This induction of IFN is completely independent of the defective RNA itself that usually serves as pathogen-associated pattern and thus does not require the cytoplasmic sensor RIG-I. These data suggest that not only defective RNAs, but also some defective RNA-encoded proteins can act immunostimulatory. In this particular case, the KAN-1-induced defective RNA-encoded protein PB2∆ enhances the overwhelming immune response characteristic for highly pathogenic H5N1 viruses, leading to a more severe phenotype in vivo.

description: Speech quality is a demand in voice commanded systems and in telephony. The voice communication system in real time often suffers from audible echoes. In order to cancel echoes, an acoustic echo cancellation system is designed and applied to increase speech quality both subjectively and objectively. In this research we develop various nonlinear adaptive filters wielding the new channel sparsity-aware recursive least squares (RLS) algorithms using a sequential update. The developed nonlinear adaptive filters using the sparse sequential RLS (S-SEQ-RLS) algorithm apply a discard function to disregard the coefficients which are not significant or close to zero in the weight vector for each channel in order to reduce the computational load and improve the algorithm convergence rate. The channel sparsity-aware algorithm is first derived for nonlinear system modeling or system identification, and then modified for application of echo cancellation. Simulation results demonstrate that by selecting a proper threshold value in the discard function, the proposed nonlinear adaptive filters using the RLS (S-SEQ-RLS) algorithm can achieve the similar performance as the nonlinear filters using the sequential RLS (SEQ-RLS) algorithm in which the channel weight vectors are sequentially updated. Furthermore, the proposed channel sparsity-aware RLS algorithms require a lower computational load in comparison with the non-sequential and non-sparsity algorithms. The computational load for the sparse algorithms can further be reduced by using data-selective strategies.

description: In this study, the performance of a flood control reservoir called Brookville Reservoir located in the East fork of the Whitewater River Basin, was analyzed using historic and futuristic data. For that purpose, USEPA HSPF software was used to develop the rainfall runoff modelling of the entire Whitewater River Basin up to Brookville, Indiana. Using uncontrolled flow data, the model was calibrated using 35 years of data and validated using 5 years by evaluating the goodness-offit with R2, RMSE, and NSE. Using historic data, the historic performances were accessed initially.Using downscaled daily precipitation data obtained from. GCM for the considered region, flows were generated using the calibrated HSPF model. A reservoir operation model was built using the present operating policies. By appending the reservoir simulation model with HSPF model results, performance of the reservoir was assessed for the future conditions.

description: The genus Streptobacillus (S.) remained monotypic for almost 90 years until two new species were recently described. The type species, S. moniliformis, is one of the two etiological agents of rat bite fever, an under-diagnosed, worldwide occurring zoonosis. In a polyphasic approach field isolates and reference strains of S. moniliformis, S. hongkongensis, S. felis as well as divergent isolates were characterized by comparison of molecular data (n = 29) and from the majority also by their physiological as well as proteomic properties (n = 22). Based on growth-independent physiological profiling using VITEK2-compact, API ZYM and the Micronaut system fastidious growth-related difficulties could be overcome and streptobacilli could definitively be typed despite generally few differences. While differing in their isolation sites and dates, S. moniliformis isolates were found to possess almost identical spectra in matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization—time of flight mass spectrometry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Spectroscopic methods facilitated differentiation of S. moniliformis, S. hongkongensis and S. felis as well as one divergent isolate. Sequencing of 16S rRNA gene as well as functional genes groEL, recA and gyrB revealed only little intraspecific variability, but generally proved suitable for interspecies discrimination between all three taxa and two groups of divergent isolates.

description: QUESTION UNDER STUDY: In July 2014, an outbreak of Salmonella enterica ssp. enterica serovar Bovismorbificans was detected in Switzerland. The goal of the outbreak investigation was to rapidly identify and eliminate the contamination source in order to prevent new cases. METHODS: A case-case study design was applied comprising reported cases of S. Bovismorbificans and cases of other serovars. A trawling questionnaire was administered by telephone interview. Data were collected for 34 cases (20 S. Bovismorbificans and 14 Salmonella spp.) pertaining to food consumption during the 72 hours prior to symptom onset. RESULTS: A statistically significant association between an S. Bovismorbificans infection and the consumption of ‘salads’ (odds ratio [OR] 14.3, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.47–138.27) as well as the consumption of ‘sprouts’ (OR 10.6, 95% CI 1.16–97.59) was found. Principal places of consumption of ‘salads’ and ‘sprouts’ in outbreak cases were restaurants in southern Germany (80.0%, 95% CI 56.3%–94.3%). Microbiological analysis in Germany identified S. Bovismorbificans on sprouts, and genotype analysis confirmed that Swiss and German cases shared the same outbreak strain. The contaminated products were removed from the market in Germany, preventing an on-going outbreak. CONCLUSION: The combination of the applied methods and the collaboration between the two countries proved to be crucial elements of this investigation. A series of sprouts-associated salmonellosis outbreaks underpin the importance of this vegetable as a potential food-borne pathogen carrier.

description: In 2011, the Deep River Portage-Burns Waterway Watershed was identified as a priority in the Northwest Indiana watershed management framework by the Northwester Indiana Regional Planning Committee. 319 grant cost-share programs were initiated in effort of maintaining and restoring the health of Deep River Portage-Burns Waterway Watershed. A watershed management plans have been developed for this watershed which proposed the implementation of vegetated filter strips (VFS) as an option. In this thesis work, the effectiveness of VFS as a best management practice (BMP) for the Deep River system was evaluated using a hydrological model scheme.
In this research, a Nonpoint Source Pollution and Erosion Comparison Tool (NSPECT) model and a Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model were constructed with required watershed characteristic data and climate data. The initial hydrologic and nutrient parameters of the SWAT model were further calibrated using SWAT Calibration and Uncertainty Programs (SWAT_CUP) with historical flow and nutrient data in a two-stage calibration process. The calibrated parameters were validated to accurately simulate the field condition and preserved in SWAT model for effectiveness analysis of BMP implementations.
To evaluate the effectiveness of VFS as a BMP, four different scenarios of VFS implementations along the Turkey Creek was simulated with the calibrated SWAT model. With the implementation of VFS in the tributary subbasin of Turkey Creek, the annual total phosphorus (TP) of the VFS implemented subbasin was reduced by 1.60% to 78.95% and the annual TP of downstream subbasins were reduced by 0.09% to 55.42%. Daily percentage of TP reductions ranged from 0% to 90.3% on the VFS implemented subbasin. Annual TP reductions of the four scenarios ranged from 28.11 kg to 465.01 kg.

description: Since the 1960s, Chilean poet and artist Cecilia Vicuña has developed an internationally-recognized body of hybrid works that draw on poetry, painting, sculpture, installation, dance, song, and film. “Reading as Ritual Response” considers one of Vicuña’s lesser-known categories of work, the artist’s book, through which she harnesses the visual, material, and tactile capacities of the book to preserve histories and re-imagine presents and futures. I focus primarily on Vicuña’s alternative temporal relationship to trauma in Sabor a Mí, a bilingual artist’s book first published after the 1973 coup in Chile.  Pinochet’s coup inflicted a national trauma of massive proportions, from the torture and disappearance of individuals to the widespread dismantling of Chile’s economic systems and cultural memories. If the nature of trauma is to resist narrative comprehension and to persist through melancholic repetition, then its subject suffers doubly from the initial event and from its unbidden, uncanny returns. I argue that Vicuña’s repeated efforts to revise and republish Saborami demonstrate not merely the poet’s melancholic return to an original trauma, but also her investment in ancient Andean models of time and her belief in the poïetic powers of reading as a ritual response to collective trauma. The Aymara tradition of facing the past (while turning one’s back on the future) places history immediately before us, directly at hand and readily reworked. With each return to Saborami, Vicuña works to reform the past from the present, and to turn the violence of Chile’s collective trauma toward a larger, cosmic reversal.

description: After acquiring a varicella virus infection, the virus can reactivate and cause herpes zoster (HZ)—a painful skin rash. A complication of HZ is long-term persistence of pain after the rash has resolved (so-called postherpetic neuralgia, PHN). We aimed to describe the epidemiology of HZ/PHN and to estimate HZ/PHN-related costs in the German statutory health insurance (SHI) system (~85 % of the total population). Treatment data of one large SHI was utilized, containing data on approximately 240,000 insured and their utilisation of services in 2004–2009. Identification of HZ- and PHN-cases was performed based on ‘International Statistical Classification of Diseases’ and specific medications using a control-group design. Incidences per 1,000 person-years (PY) and cost-of-illness for 1 year following HZ-onset considering the payer and societal perspective were calculated. All amounts were inflated to 2010 Euros. Population-figures were standardised and extrapolated to the total SHI-population in Germany in 2010. A mean annual incidence of 5.79 HZ-cases per 1,000 PY was observed, translating into an estimated 403,625 HZ-cases per year in the total SHI-population. Approximately 5 % of HZ-cases developed PHN. One HZ-case caused on average €210 and €376 of costs from the payer and societal perspective, respectively. The development of PHN generated additional costs of €1,123 (€1,645 societal perspective). Total annual HZ/PHN-related costs were estimated at €182 million (€105 million) to society (payer). HZ and PHN place a considerable burden on the German SHI-system. Since HZ-vaccines will soon be available, a health-economic evaluation of these vaccines should be conducted.

description: Since the 1960s, Chilean poet and artist Cecilia Vicuña has developed an internationally-recognized body of hybrid works that draw on poetry, painting, sculpture, installation, dance, song, and film. "Reading as Ritual Response" considers one of Vicuña's lesser-known categories of work, the artist's book, through which she harnesses the visual, material, and tactile capacities of the book to preserve histories and re-imagine presents and futures. I focus primarily on Vicuña's alternative temporal relationship to trauma in Sabor a Mí, a bilingual artist's book first published after the 1973 coup in Chile.

Pinochet's coup inflicted a national trauma of massive proportions, from the torture and disappearance of individuals to the widespread dismantling of Chile's economic systems and cultural memories. If the nature of trauma is to resist narrative comprehension and to persist through melancholic repetition, then its subject suffers doubly from the initial event and from its unbidden, uncanny returns. I argue that Vicuña's repeated efforts to revise and republish Saborami demonstrate not merely the poet's melancholic return to an original trauma, but also her investment in ancient Andean models of time and her belief in the poïetic powers of reading as a ritual response to collective trauma. The Aymara tradition of facing the past (while turning one's back on the future) places history immediately before us, directly at hand and readily reworked. With each return to Saborami, Vicuña works to reform the past from the present, and to turn the violence of Chile's collective trauma toward a larger, cosmic reversal.

description: In computer networks, the convenient internet access facilitates internet services, but at the same time also augments the spread of malicious software which could represent an attack or unauthorized access. Thereby, making the intrusion detection an important area to explore for detecting these unwanted activities. This thesis concentrates on combining the Model and Instance Based Machine Learning for detecting intrusions through a series of algorithms starting from clustering the similar hosts. Similar hosts have been found based on the supervised machine learning techniques like Support Vector Machines, Decision Trees and K Nearest Neighbors using our proposed Data Fusion algorithm. Maximal cliques of Graph Theory has been explored to find the clusters. A recursive way is proposed to merge the decision areas of best features. The idea is to implement a combination of model and instance based machine learning and analyze how it performs as compared to a conventional machine learning algorithm like Random Forest for intrusion detection. The system has been evaluated on three datasets by CTU-13. The results show that our proposed method gives better detection rate as compared to traditional methods which might overfit the data. The research work done in model merging, instance based learning, random forests, data mining and ensemble learning with regards to intrusion detection have been studied and taken as reference.

description: Monitoring the treatment outcome (TO) of tuberculosis (TB) is essential to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention and to identify potential barriers for TB control. The global target is to reach a treatment success rate (TSR) of at least 85%. We aimed to assess the TB TO in the European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA) between 2002 and 2011, and to identify factors associated with unsuccessful treatment. Only 18 countries reported information on TO for the whole observation period accounting for 250,854 new culture-confirmed pulmonary TB cases. The 85% target of TSR was not reached in any year between 2002 and 2011 and was on average 78%. The TSR for multidrug-resistant (MDR)-TB cases at 24-month follow-up was 49%. In the multivariable regression model, unsuccessful treatment was significantly associated with increasing age (odds ratio (OR) = 1.02 per a one-year increase, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02–1.02), MDR-TB (OR = 8.7, 95% CI: 5.09–14.97), male sex (OR = 1.40, 95% CI: 1.28–1.52), and foreign origin (OR = 1.32, 95% CI: 1.03–1.70). The data highlight that special efforts are required for patients with MDR-TB and the elderly aged ≥65 years, who have particularly low TSR. To allow for valid monitoring at EU level all countries should aim to report TO for all TB cases.

description: Non-pregnancy associated (N-PA) listeriosis, caused by Listeria monocytogenes, is a rare but severe disease, and is predominantly food-borne. Most cases appear sporadic and their infection vehicle remains unknown. Incidence has increased since 2008 in Germany. We aimed to identify underlying conditions and foods associated with sporadic N-PA listeriosis in Germany. We performed a nationwide case-control study from March 2012-December 2013. Cases were sporadic N-PA listeriosis patients notified to public health. Control subjects were age (40–65 years, 66–75 years, ≥76 years) frequency-matched persons from a nationwide random telephone sample. A structured questionnaire collected information on underlying diseases, therapies and >60 food items. We conducted multivariable logistic regression analysis, adjusting for host factors identified by causal diagram theory, and calculated population attributable fractions. We enrolled 109 cases and 1982 controls. Cases’ median age was 69 years, 55% were male, 44% received immunosuppressive therapy within 3 months prior to illness onset; a further 28% had at least one immunocompromising disease. In multivariable analysis, immunosuppressive therapy (OR 8.8, 95%CI 4.9–15.6), immunocompromising disease (OR 2.7; 95%CI 1.4–5.2), gastric acid suppression (OR 3.0; 95%CI 1.4–6.3), the consumption of cold cooked sausages (OR 2.6; 95%CI 1.6–4.4), the preferred consumption of packaged cheese (OR 2.1; 95%CI 1.3–3.5) and pre-sliced cheese (OR 2.2; 95%CI 1.3–3.7) were significantly associated with N-PA listeriosis. These foods accounted for 59% of all cases. Typical high risk foods, e.g. cold seafood, certain types of cheeses, tended to be negatively associated with disease. In conclusion, immunosuppressive therapy and frequently consumed ready-to-eat foods are the main risk factors for sporadic N-PA listeriosis in Germany. To reduce their risk, immunocompromised persons should consume the identified foods well before the ‘use-by’ date. The microbiological criteria for Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat foods may insufficiently protect persons who are markedly immunocompromised.

description: Listeriosis patient isolates in Germany have shown a new identical pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) pattern since 2012 (n = 66). Almost all isolates (Listeria monocytogenes serotype 1/2a) belonged to cases living in southern Germany, indicating an outbreak with a so far unknown source. Case numbers in 2015 are high (n = 28). No outbreak cases outside Germany have been reported. Next generation sequencing revealed the unique cluster type CT1248 and confirmed the outbreak. Investigations into the source are ongoing.
Sintering and Characterizations of 3D Printed Bronze Metal Filament

Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Metal 3D printing typically requires high energy laser or electron sources. Recently, 3D printing using metal filled filaments becomes available which uses PLA filaments filled with metal powders (such as copper, bronze, brass, and stainless steel). Although there are some studies on their printability, the detailed study of their sintering and characterizations is still missing. In this study, the research is focused on 3D printing of bronze filaments. Bronze is a popular metal for many important uses. The objectives of this research project are to study the optimal processing conditions (like printer settings, nozzle, and bed temperatures) to print bronze metal filament, develop the sintering conditions (temperature and duration), and characterization of the microstructure and mechanical properties of 3D printed specimens to produce strong specimens. The thesis includes three components: (1) 3D printing and sintering at selected conditions, following a design of experiment (DOE) principle; (2) microstructure and compositional characterizations; and (3) mechanical property characterization. The results show that it is feasible to print using bronze filaments using a typical FDM machine with optimized printing settings. XRD spectrums show that there is no effect of sintering temperature on the composition of the printed parts. SEM images illustrate the porous structure of the printed and sintered parts, suggesting the need to optimize the process to improve the density. The micro hardness and three-point bending tests show that the mechanical strengths are highly related to the sintering conditions. This study provides important information of applying the bronze filament in future engineering applications.

description: Der vorliegende Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die Inzidenz- und Überlebensraten bösartiger Tumoren der Schilddrüse, Nebennierenrinde und neuroendokriner Tumoren in Deutschland. Die Ergebnisse beruhen auf den Daten der epidemiologischen Krebsregister der Bundesländer. In den Jahren 2012 bis 2014 wurden demnach in Deutschland jährlich etwa 7700 neuroendokrine Tumoren, 6160 bösartige Tumoren der Schilddrüse und 120 Nebennierenrindenkarzinome diagnostiziert. Ähnlich wie in vielen anderen industrialisierten Ländern war Mitte der 2000er Jahre ein deutlicher Anstieg des prognostisch günstigen papillären Schilddrüsenkarzinoms zu beobachten; die Inzidenzraten haben sich zuletzt jedoch stabilisiert. Von den neuroendokrinen Karzinomen treten etwas mehr als die Hälfte der Fälle im Verdauungstrakt auf. Von diesen sind wiederum 50 % der Tumoren gut differenziert (NET Grad 1 und 2) mit entsprechend hohen relativen Fünfjahresüberlebensraten zwischen 70 % und 90 % je nach Lokalisation. Bei den übrigen Formen sind die Überlebenschancen teilweise deutlich geringer mit Ausnahme der neuroendokrinen Karzinome (NEC) von Dünndarm und Appendix, deren Überlebensraten nur geringfügig niedriger liegen als bei den NET. Auffallend sind durchgehend höhere Überlebensraten für Frauen, die nicht alleine durch eine etwas günstigere Verteilung der histologischen Formen erklärt werden können.
