description: A comprehensive review of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) allowing the prediction of the fate of organic compounds in the environment from their molecular properties was done. The considered processes were water dissolution, dissociation, volatilization, retention on soils and sediments (mainly adsorption and desorption), degradation (biotic and abiotic), and absorption by plants. A total of 790 equations involving 686 structural molecular descriptors are reported to estimate 90 environmental parameters related to these processes. A significant number of equations was found for dissociation process (pKa), water dissolution or hydrophobic behavior (especially through the KOW parameter), adsorption to soils and biodegradation. A lack of QSAR was observed to estimate desorption or potential of transfer to water. Among the 686 molecular descriptors, five were found to be dominant in the 790 collected equations and the most generic ones: four quantum-chemical descriptors, the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (EHOMO) and the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (ELUMO), polarizability (α) and dipole moment (μ), and one constitutional descriptor, the molecular weight. Keeping in mind that the combination of descriptors belonging to different categories (constitutional, topological, quantum-chemical) led to improve QSAR performances, these descriptors should be considered for the development of new QSAR, for further predictions of environmental parameters. This review also allows finding of the relevant QSAR equations to predict the fate of a wide diversity of compounds in the environment.

description: ABSTRACTThis paper reviews dietborne toxicity of 13 metals (Ag, Al, As, B, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, V, Zn) to aquatic biota. Of those, Ag, As, Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn have caused dietborne toxicity in laboratory exposures when the dietborne concentrations resulted from exposure of the food to waterborne concentrations near toxicity thresholds. To facilitate merging this laboratory-based effects information with realistic exposure scenarios, concentrations of metals in water and food items should be surveyed in a variety of real-world freshwater and saltwater systems to determine dietborne:waterborne metal ratios and the chemical forms in which the metals occur.

description: Urban railways, Regional railways, Tramways are described according to opening year, size of town, length of lines and traffic as well as number of private cars for the period 1830 - 1995. In London lines opened 1835 - 53, when the city population increased from 3 mio. to 7 mio. (1850 - 1910), linelength today is approx. 3600 km and the number of railwaypass. has increased from 1150 to 1319 mio. against a total number of public transport pass. from 2350 - 2000 mio. but the number of cars has increased, in the period here described 1910 - 1990, from 0 to 400 cars per 1000 inh. Today Docklands Light Rail Transport is working. (LRT). In Tokyo they have reached 11.8 bio. railway pass. against 12 Bio. Public transport pass and 466 cars per 1000 inh. There are approx. 14 great cities (>10 mio. inh.) with urban railways, 63 other citites and 33 cities with LRT, all over the world. There has been a dilemma for every city, if they should invest in urban railways or urban motorways. In Europe there is only 1 km. urban motorway per 20.000 inh. against 3 km. in the USA. A great number of amr. towns has however opened urban railwys in the last 20 years, because of queueing problems on the urban motorways, high economic investments in urban motorways and environmental problems: accidents, noise and air pollution.

Year: 1998

description: I paperet argumenteres for en kvalitativ planlægnings- og beslutningsmodel i forbindelse med ændringer af den fysiske transportinfrastruktur. Modellen tager udgangspunkt i intentionerne for miljøkonsekvensvurderinger. I modsætning til gængse VVM-vurderinger lægges imidlertid hovedvægten ikke på naturvidenskabelige data, men på en etisk analyse. Det centrale spørgsmål er hvordan givne ændringer påvirker forskellige naturlige fænomeners (moralske subjekters) evne til at håndtere givne udfordringer. Paperet giver nogle ideer til, hvilke elementer en konsekvensanalyse må indeholde for at leve op til de moralske (ko-eksistentielle) standarder vi rimeligvis må sætte for os og vores medverden.

description: Den nordiske beregningsmodel for vejtrafikstøj ligger til grund for alle de vejtrafikstøjberegnin-ger, der foretages i Danmark. Modellen er igen blevet revideret i 1996. Modellens teori og me-tode præsenteres. Ligeledes gennemgås de væsentlige ændringer, der er foretaget i modellen i forhold til den forrige revision, som er fra 1989. De væsentlige ændringer er bl.a. følgende: · Der er ændret på modellens udgangsværdier, med baggrund i effekten af EUs regulering af støjudsendelsen fra biler. · Modellens definition og metode til beregning af maksimale støjniveauer er totalt ændret. · Det er nu muligt at foretage korrektioner for støjdsendelsen fra forskellige typer vejbelæg-ninger. · Det er muligt at foretage separate beregninger af støjen fra henholdsvis lette og tunge køre-tøjer. · Modellen kan nu anvendes for hastigheder ned til 30 km/t, hvorimod den tidligere kun gik ned til 50 km/t. Der foretages vurderinger af, hvad dette betyder for den praktiske anvendelse af beregningsmo-dellen. Ligeledes perspektiveres modellen i forhold det kommende modeludviklingsarbejde.

description: Helicobacter pylori is a gastric mucosal pathogen and is associated with diseases like peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. To combat H. pylori infection, there is an urgent need for new class of antibiotics due to the emergence of drug-resistant strains. Enzymes involved in bacterial lysine biosynthetic pathways may be potential targets for antibacterial drug development, since lysine is an essential component of the bacterial peptidoglycan cell wall. No pathway exists for lysine biosynthesis in humans; hence, the inhibitors targeting bacterial enzymes may have selective toxicity. dapE-encoded N-succinyl-L,L-diaminopimelic acid desuccinylase (DapE) is a critical enzyme of this pathway and deletion of DapE gene is lethal to H. pylori, since the organism has no alternative pathway for lysine biosynthesis. In this study, we reported a 3D model structure of H. pylorie DapE, which consisted of a catalytic domain and a dimerization domain generated by MODELLER software. We also confirmed the stability of the modeled structure through 10 ns molecular dynamics simulation using GROMACS software. Next, to identify potential small molecule inhibitors of DapE, drug-like small molecule-screening library was generated. This was performed by Tanimoto-based similarity searching in the PubChem Database with DapE substrate L,L-SDAP as a query molecule, followed by fragment-based docking approach using GLIDE XP. This approach identified two potential substrate-competitive small molecule inhibitors of DapE. These new molecules may provide a starting point to search for novel therapeutics.

description: Med udgangspunkt i Regeringens Transporthandlingsplan og med Energi- ministeriet som opdragsgiver undersøger COWIconsult forskellige trafikale og økonomiske virkemidlers effekt på valget af transportmiddel ved person- rejser i København. Der fokuseres på transportbrugerens adfærd, og hvordan denne adfærd kan påvirkes. Ved at fokusere på adfærd frem for det konkrete trafikmønster op- nås, at resultaterne har en sådan generalitet, at de kan benyttes bredt til at diskutere konsekvenser af rådighed over og kvalitet af forskellige trans- portmidler. Undersøgelsen gennemføres ved hjælp af Stated Preference-teknikken med interview af udvalgte husstande, der dagligt anvender bil, og deres forvente- de brug af en række markante, planlagte infrastrukturanlæg under varierende forudsætninger. I interviewene gøres biltransporten gradvist dyrere og langsommere samti- dig med, at den kollektive transport bliver billigere og bedre m.h.t. hastig- hed, frekvens, komfort, regularitet m.v. De indsamlede data analyseres for, hvad det er der forårsager skift af trans- portmiddel for grupper med f.eks. forskellig indkomst og familiestruktur. Efterfølgende drøftes resultaternes betydning for valg af virkemidler ved planlægning af den fremtidige persontrafik.

Vurdering af alternativer for højhastighedsbaner.

Year: 1994

description: Indlægget tager udgangspunkt i vores eksamensprojektet, hvor der er foretaget en samfundsøkonomisk konsekvensvurdering af forskellige forslag til højhastighedsbaner mellem København og Hamburg. I analysen sker en rangordning af et stort antal (ca. 300) alternative projektudformninger. Det store antal medtages, for at sikre, at ingen fornuftige forslag overses på forhånd. For at kunne gennemføre en så omfattende analyse, har det været nødvendigt at opbygge et program, som kan generere forslag og beregne de tilhørende konsekvenser maskinelt. Den anvendte samfundsøkonomiske vurderingsmetode sigter på at fremhæve robuste forslag. Dette sker under hensyntagen til • Variation i præferencemønstre • Usikkerhed i den trafikale udvikling Variation i præferencemønstre vedrører det forhold, at forskellige opfattelser kan lægges til grund ved konsekvensernes sammenvejning (f.eks. kan sammenvejningen ske under en øko-nomisk synsvinkel, en miljøsynsvinkel eller andet). Det har naturligvis stor betydning for vurderingens endelige resultat, hvis det kan påvises, at vurderingen af hvilke projektforslag, der kan anses for at være fordelagtige, er uafhængig af forskellige præferencemønstre, eller hvis det kan belyses under hvilke præferencer, bestemte projektforslag klarer sig godt eller mindre godt. Præferenceaspektet kan således hjælpe til at skille politiske fra administrative beslutninger. Usikkerhed i den trafikale udvikling skyldes, at prognoseresultater som oftest ikke er særlig præcise. Den faktiske udvikling hænger nøje sammen med den øvrige udvikling i samfundet, og prognoser tager sjældent hensyn til ændringsmuligheder for sådanne forhold. Da de fleste af konsekvenserne er trafikafhængige, fører denne usikkerhed altså til usikkerhed for selve konsekvenserne, og denne usikkerhed er det væsentligt at tage hensyn til. Udover den samfundsøkonomiske vurdering, er der foretaget en analyse, hvor der bl.a. er inddraget ikke-samfundsøkonomiske aspekter som virksomhedsøkonomi og plankonformitet.

Brug af GIS til trafikplanlægning og beslutningsstøtte
Creators: name: Nielsen, Otto Anker
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 1994

description: Dette paper beskriver perspektiver for brug af Geografisk Informations Systemer til vurdering af trafikplanforslag. Sådanne systemer (kaldet GIS-T) vil typisk bestå af 5 modeller for indsamling af data, formulering af alternative løsningsforslag, modellering af fremtidige trafik- strømme, konsekvensberegninger og valg af løsning baseret på et beslutningsstøttesystem. Endvi- dere vil de indeholde procedurer for evaluering og kvalitetskontrol af data og resultater. Et integre- ret GIS-T som beskrevet i paperet vil ikke alene lette det konkrete arbejde, men også samle og styrke hele trafikplanlægningsprocessen. Paperet omhandler overvejende konceptuelle problem- stillinger ved brug af GIS-T til modelberegninger. De teoretiske diskussioner er dog suppleret med praktiske eksempler på trafikmodeller, modeller for konsekvensberegninger og modeller for data- behandling og kvalitetskontrol, der har været implementeret i GIS og testet på flere helskala model- ler. Den sidste del af paperet skitserer de lovende perspektiver for fremtidig brug af GIS-T.

Wake and acoustic responses of a circular cylinder to freestream fluctuations
Creators: name: Widjaja, Ronny
name: Ooi, Andrew
name: Chen, Li
name: Manasseh, Richard
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: An upstream turbulence/fluctuation has been shown to increase the unsteadiness in the wake of a three-dimensional bluff body (Mittal, 2000). This inevitably will influence the radiated acoustic waves in the far field. In this paper, the effects of fluctuating freestream disturbances on the wake structure and sound radiation from a two-dimensional flow over a circular cylinder are investigated. The flow field is obtained by numerically solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. At a Reynolds number of 40, the addition of fluctuating disturbances in the freestream causes the otherwise steady wake to oscillate at the frequency of the disturbance. This oscillation is enhanced with increasing energy and frequency of the fluctuations. The corresponding acoustic field is obtained by using an Expansion about Incompressible Flow (EIF) method. The computed acoustic field shows a dipole directivity, which is similar to that of a natural vortex shedding. Moreover, using the rms plot of the fluctuations of the EIF source terms, the location of the dipole source in the wake of the cylinder is accurately identified.

description: I innlegget gjennomgår forfatteren sine erfaringer med bruk av metoder for beslutningsstøtte i offentlig sektor. Hovedvekten i presentasjonen er lagt på ressursfordeling med et strategisk perspektiv. Mikro metoder som nytte-/kostnadsanalyse og strategisk konsekvensanalyse av miljøeffekter blir omtalt og deres styrke og svakhet gjennomgått. Gjennomgangen viser at det ikke er mulig å summere slike beregninger opp til totalt ressursbehov. Forfatteren gjennomgår makro økonomiske metoder som kan gi totaloverslag over behov for ressurser, for eksempel investering og vedlikehold. Eksempler gis, og forfatteren foreslår slike metoder anvendt ved offentlig, strategisk planlegging hvor ressursrammer er viktige.

Symmetric mode resonance of bubbles attached to a rigid boundary
Creators: name: Payne, Edward M B

name: Ooi, Andrew
name: Manasseh, Richard
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Experimental results are compared with a theoretical analysis concerning wall effects on the symmetric mode resonance frequency of millimeter-sized air bubbles in water. An analytical model based on a linear coupled-oscillator approximation is used to describe the oscillations of the bubbles, while the method of images is used to model the effect of the wall. Three situations are considered: a single bubble, a group of two bubbles, and a group of three bubbles. The results show that bubbles attached to a rigid boundary have lower resonance frequencies compared to when they are in an infinite uniform liquid domain (referred to as free space). Both the experimental data and theoretical analysis show that the symmetric mode resonance frequency decreases with the number of bubbles but increases as the bubbles are moved apart. Discrepancies between theory and experiment can be explained by the fact that distortion effects due to buoyancy forces and surface tension were ignored. The data presented here are intended to guide future investigations into the resonances of larger arrays of bubbles on rigid surfaces, which may assist in surface sonochemistry, sonic cleaning, and micro-mixing applications.
Variable kørselsafgifter

Year: 2001

description: Variable kørselsafgifter betragtes ofte som et relevant bud på, hvorledes stærkt belastede områder kan reguleres bedre trafikalt. På Danmarks Tekniske universitet er gennemført et forskningsprogram (FORTRIN), som har undersøgt mulighederne for at regulere trafikken bedre ved hjælp af et kørselsafgiftssystem, der baseres på biltype, antal kørte kilometer, tidspunkt og sted. Et væsentligt spørgsmål i relation til variable kørselsafgifter er, om de har den ønskede virkning. Brugernes holdninger og reaktioner i relation til et sådant afgiftssystem er derfor undersøgt ved følgende metoder: • Fokusgruppediskussioner, • spørgeskemaanalyser samt • beregning af konkrete ture optegnet i turdagbøger. Dette paper præsenterer FORTRIN programmets brugerundersøgelser og redegør for undersøgelsernes væsentligste fund.

description: Haemocyanin is an important non-specific immune protein present in the hemolymph of invertebrates, which have the ability to recognize the microbial pathogens and trigger the innate immune system. In this study, we isolated and purified the haemocyanin using gel filtration chromatography and investigated its microbial recognition mechanism against the invading pathogens. Kuruma shrimp Marsupenaeus japonicus haemocyanin showed the single band with a molecular weight of 76 kDa on SDS-PAGE and its molecular mass was analysed through the MALDI. Pathogen recognition mechanism of M. japonicus haemocyanin was detected through bacterial agglutination, agglutination inhibition and prophenoloxidase activity. M. japonicus haemocyanin agglutinate all human blood RBC types and showed the bacterial agglutination against all tested Gram positive Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis and Bacillus subtilis and Gram negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris and Vibrio parahaemolyticus at the concentrations ranging from 30 to 50 μg/ml. Agglutination was inhibited by 50–200 mM of N-acetylneuraminic acid, a-D-glucose, D-galactose and D-xylose. Our results suggest that, 76 kDa subunit of M. japonicus haemocyanin recognize the pathogenic surface proteins which are present on the outer membrane of the bacteria and mediates the bacterial agglutination through haemocytes. This bacterial agglutination was visualized through Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM). This present study would be helpful to explore the importance of haemocyanin in innate immune response of M. japonicus and its eliciting pathogen recognition mechanism leads to the development of innate immunity in crustaceans.

Year: 1998

description: Dette paper beskriver det grundlag omkring mål, planer og proces, som er anvendt i arbejdet med Storstrøms Amts vejsektorplan. Hensigten er, at vejsektorplanen både i dag og senere skal være et helhedpræget og aktuelt grundlag for amtets prioritering af investeringerne i landevejene. For vejområdet er formuleret seks hovedmål under følgende overskrifter: · Trafiksikkerhed · Miljø · Fremkommelighed · Vejtilstand · Service · Tilgængelighed Disse hovedmål sigter mod at "sætte brugeren i centrum". I vejplanlægningen fastlægges en række mere specifikke delmål for de forskellige behov hos brugerne, som amtet ønsker at tilgodese. Gennem en række delplaner tilstræbes en helhed i vejsektorplanens prioritering af de forskellige virkemidler på landevejene. Vejsektorplanen beskriver forudsætninger, metoder og mål for amtets vejplanlægning. Delplanernes tekniske prioritering af projekter sammenfattes, og der beskrives en politisk prioritering af budgettet på tværs af delplanerne. Vejsektorplanen angiver perspektiverne for indsats på 12 års sigt og foreslår investeringer i en 4 års budgetoverslagsperiode som udgangspunkt for den årlige handlingsplan. For at vejplanlægningen til stadighed kan være et aktuelt grundlag for amtets prioritering af projekter er det nødvendigt med mellemrum at opdatere delplanerne og vejsektorplanen. I sammenhæng med opdateringen kan der vurderes målopfyldelse og behov for anvendelse af nye strategier eller virkemidler. Vejsektorplanen revideres hvert 4. år i koordination med regionplanen og således, at der i hver amtsrådsperiode kan drøftes nye problemstillinger og mål for vejområdet.

Social structures of urban governance: strategic spatial planning in Addis Ababa

description: Focusing on strategic planning for spatial development, this paper explores the social structures that underpin urban governance in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. To bridge the divide in the literature between studies that are narrowly focused on public service networks (typically more quantitative) and broader studies of urban governance (typically more qualitative), we use a social network analysis approach based on structured interviews to chart the actors and connections that influence the strategic planning process. Our results show that the governance network in this city is very homogeneous and centralised. The majority of actors at the core of strategic decision-making are city government entities, where most ties are structured around the Addis Ababa City Plan Commission and the mayor. With few exceptions (notably, the prime minister), other tiers of government, civil society organisations, the private sector and international donors are mostly peripheral. The fact that some powerful actors – such as international investors and the ruling coalition parties – are also playing a marginal role in the network may threaten governance stability and coherence. Although the mayor is a very powerful actor at the city level, the structural features of the governance network and the institutional power of the prime minister allow them to streamline their influence over the city’s future. The current governance regime for strategic spatial planning in Addis Ababa seems to privilege the effectiveness of the developmental agenda over the inclusiveness of the governing process. This has troubling implications for participatory development and the emergence of a more democratic society.

The Andromeda Veil: Combining MEGARA and JAST80 to probe the nature of a faint nebula towards M31
Creators: name: Lumbreras-Calle, Alejandro
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Poster presented at the XVI scientific meeting of the Spanish Astronomical Society (SEA).

A new large nebula near the Andromeda galaxy (M31) was recently discovered by amateur astronomers (Dreshler et al. 2023) using very deep exposures with an [O III]5007 filter. If it belonged to the M31 system, this would represent a huge physical structure, only comparable to quasar ionization echoes. An alternative hypothesis would place the object within our Galaxy (and thus much smaller), simply located by chance at a small projected angular distance from M31.

 

In order to discern between these two possibilities, and to explore the physical properties of the nebula, we requested spectroscopic observations with the MEGARA IFU at the GTC and narrowband photometric imaging with the JAST80 in the Javalambre Astrophysics Observatory (OAJ). MEGARA was pointed at four positions within the nebula, collapsing all the IFU fibers into a single 1D spectra per pointing. This allowed us to detect multiple emission lines, including the faintest ones (Hβ, [N II], [S II], …). The typical receding velocities measured in [O III] (~ -15 km/s), with similar values in different parts of the nebula, are far more consistent with a nebula inside our galaxy rather than an exceptionally large one near M31.

With the wide area covered by the JAST80 observations, and reaching very low surface brightness in both the [O II]3727 and Halpha filters, we identified an offset in the spatial distribution between those lines and the [O III]5007 flux. Moreover, the velocity inferred from hydrogen emission lines (Hα, Hβ) is significantly different (~20 km/s) from the velocity of the [O III] lines. These results may indicate an ionizing front advancing through a likely multiphase interstellar medium, consistent with a supernova remnant. Nevertheless, the source of the ionization remains unknown.
