description: The First World War had a severe impact on the food supply in occupied Belgium. The prospect of famine turned food into an urgent political problem and the subject of far-reaching social-political arrangements such as a massive domestic and foreign relief operation. Access to food was impacted to varying degrees for different social groups. The inequalities linked with the deprivations of occupation gave birth to sharp social tensions which in turn provoked acrid protests.

MINIMISATION OF REWORK IN UK HOUSING CONSTRUCTION: CONTRIBUTION OF SUBCONTRACTORS
Creators: name: Shahparvari, Mehdi
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2023

description: The housing supply chain includes a plethora of privately owned trades, and a high level of fragmentation is driven by a significant number of micro businesses in the UK housing construction. The construction industry has been recognised as one of the major industries with a high level of waste and rework, particularly among different contributors in housing construction. Rework is an endemic and chronic issue and has been recognised as a symptom that has afflicted the workflow process and the productivity in housing construction projects in the UK. Traditionally, the root cause of rework in the housing supply chain has been identified as a poor performance of subcontractors. However, there is very limited research into the elimination of rework in the housing supply chain. Subcontractors play an important role in delivering successful projects. There has been less attention paid to the importance role of subcontractors in housing supply chain, given the high level of fragmentation associated with the large number of subcontractors in housing development projects. The research method is based on a literature review, semi-structured interview, and questionnaire survey. A pragmatic sequential exploratory approach (i.e., the qualitative research followed by quantitative investigation) was used to address the research questions. For the qualitative research a semistructured interview was carried-out to gauge industry experts’ perspectives and understanding of the root causes of rework. A quantitative research method, using a questionnaire survey, was employed from wide range of practitioners within housing development projects. The finding of the study suggests and highlights the importance role of subcontractors for rework minimisation in housing construction projects. Also, several key findings that have emerged from the study include cooperative working to foster trust among subcontractors, collaboration improvement among practitioners, creating incentive mechanism, and learning mechanism, improving site management team, different strategies to minimise rework, employing offsite manufacturing techniques, using digital tools, and adopting communication tools to improve collaboration and minimise rework onsite. To help subcontractors achieve a sustainable rework minimisation practice, a best framework has been developed based on the findings from the study and evaluated by employing a focus group. The content of the study can be used by practitioners who are involved in housing development projects.

The research will use critical discourse analysis to explore: (1) the interpretive repertoires used to discuss gbMSM in literature on PrEP programme implementation; (2) the subject positions made available to gbMSM who use PrEP; and (3) the implications of these interpretive repertoires and subject positions for how gbMSM are understood and catered to in the implementation of HIV PrEP programmes.
Der Einfluss des Polyamins Spermin auf Calciumsignale und Reaktionen auf Trockenstress bei Gerste

description: Anhand der Gerste (Hordeum vulgare) sollte der Einfluss des Polyamins Spermin auf Mechanismen der Trockenstresstoleranz untersucht werden. Extern appliziertes Spermin führte zu einem Schließen der Spaltöffnungen, welches konzentrationsabhängig und reversibel war. Inhibitoren der Polyaminoxidase und Fänger von reaktiven Sauerstoffspezies verhinderten den Prozess des Stomataschlusses. Dies deutete darauf hin, dass Spermin entweder direkt oder indirekt die Bildung von H2O2 oder anderer reaktiver Sauerstoffspezies beeinflusst und zur Aktivierung von Ca2+-permeablen Kanälen führt. In Ganzpflanzen konnten nach einer Behandlung mit Spermin biphasische Veränderungen der [Ca2+]cyt beobachtet werden. Dabei konnten [Ca2+]cyt-Veränderungen sowohl im Spross als auch in der Wurzel nachgewiesen werden. In Schließzellen, die Spermin ausgesetzt waren, zeigten sich dagegen Veränderungen der [Ca2+]cyt in Form von Ca2+-Oszillationen. Auf Basis dieser Ergebnisse wird postuliert, dass Spermin an Veränderungen der [Ca2+]cyt beteiligt ist und auf diesem Weg einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Trockenstresstoleranz von Pflanzen hat.
description: The aim of this work was to investigate the involvement of the polyamine spermine in drought stress tolerance of barley (Hordeum vulgare). External application of spermine caused stomatal closure. This effect was concentration-dependent and reversible. Inhibitors of polyamine oxidase and reactive oxygen species scavengers prevented the process of spermine-induced stomatal closure. This suggested that spermine influences, either directly or indirectly, the formation of H2O2 and other reactive oxygen species or that it may modulate Ca2+-permeable channels. In whole plants, biphasic changes of [Ca2+]cyt were observed after treatment with spermine. In this case [Ca2+]cyt changes were detected both in the shoot and in the root. However, in guard cells exposed to spermine, changes in [Ca2+]cyt were observed in the form of Ca2+ oscillations. On the basis of these results, it is postulated that spermine is involved in alterations of [Ca2+]cyt and in this way has a decisive influence on the drought tolerance of plants.
One step closer but still far from solving the puzzle - The phylogeny of marine associated mites (Acari, Oribatida, Ameronothroidea) inferred from morphological and molecular genetic data

description: Marine associated oribatid mites belong mainly to the Ameronothroidea which represent a very small percentage of all Oribatida. Over the last decades the systematics and evolutionary history of this group has been discussed controversially and still there is no consensus concerning several issues. The extreme marine environment may have resulted in parallel morphologies complicating the classification and estimation of phylogeny based on discrete morphological traits. In the present study, we performed a molecular genetic study using a mitochondrial and two nuclear markers to infer the phylogeny of this group. Additionally, we reconstructed the phylogeny of Ameronothroidea based on morphological data using different algorithms. Both methods resulted in largely congruent topologies and highlight the following important points: the Ameronothroidea represent a paraphyletic assemblage; the Podacaridae are a distinct family and should be excluded from Ameronothridae; the Fortuyniidae, Selenoribatidae and Tegeocranellidae constitute a monophyletic lineage; and certain genera of Selenoribatidae need a revision. These results demonstrate that the classification of Ameronothroidea and certain positions within this group need to be thoroughly reconsidered and revised. The present study also shows that phylogenetic estimates based on coded morphological data can be a very helpful tool for verifying and supporting molecular phylogenies.

Leveraging the mining industry’s energy demand to improve host countries’ power infrastructure

description: The World Bank estimates that African investment needs in infrastructure would cost US$93 billion per year, only half of which is for the power sector. In the same time, the availability of power lies at the core of a mine’s development strategy; mining operators need to make sure that the energy demand of mining operations is met. This is especially the case in remote areas, where mining companies are developing large projects with little or no connectivity to national grids and very limited options for electricity supply.
To address these energy problems, the mining industry has adopted different solutions depending on the power situation of the country, the projects’ energy demand, and the projects’ distance from the grid: When sourcing from the grid is too expensive or when there is no grid, industry finances and builds its own power generation facilities or sources from a third-party that is
a private power generator. When sourcing from the grid is less expensive than own generation, industry either sources from the grid or finances/co-finances the upgrade of the power assets under various arrangements with the public utility. For a mining company, the goal is to maximize cost-savings. For a host country, the challenge is to maximize welfare gains by leveraging any investment in power infrastructure development for the electrification needs of the country. This could be through connecting the mine to the grid and incentivizing the company to produce extra capacity to sell to the public utility in order to increase supply and reduce the electricity cost, or by requiring that the privately-financed network is open to third-party access, so that towns and populations between the mine and the grid benefit from the privately financed distribution lines as well. Both, cost savings and welfare gains can be met simultaneously if sound regulations and efficient coordination mechanisms are in place. Without appropriate regulation, the opportunity for the country will be missed. Without appropriate coordination mechanisms within the mining industry or between the industry and the government, scale economies will be lost. Therefore to take advantage of the opportunity of the investments of the mining industry in power infrastructure, and make sure that the country benefits from those investments, an appropriate planning, regulatory and commercial framework is needed. If power assets are leveraged and designed to contribute to the development of public infrastructure at the national, regional or community levels, the incremental capital cost of building additional capacity could be reduced and the economic and social spillover effects can extend far beyond the mining sector. The purpose of this working paper is to distill good practice principles observed in power infrastructure development leveraging the mining industry’s energy demand around the world, informed by expert opinion.

description: Gluten sensitivity may affect disease pathogenesis in a subset of individuals who have schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or autism. Exposure to Toxoplasma gondii is a known risk factor for the development of schizophrenia, presumably through a direct pathological effect of the parasite on brain and behavior. A co-association of antibodies to wheat gluten and to T. gondii in individuals with schizophrenia was recently uncovered, suggesting a coordinated gastrointestinal means by which T. gondii and dietary gluten might generate an immune response. Here, we evaluated the connection between these infectious- and food-based antigens in mouse models. BALB/c mice receiving a standard wheat-based rodent chow were infected with T. gondii via intraperitoneal, peroral and prenatal exposure methods. Significant increases in the levels of anti-gluten IgG were documented in all infected mice and in offspring from chronically infected dams compared to uninfected controls (repetitive measures ANOVAs, two-tailed t-tests, all p≤0.00001). Activation of the complement system accompanied this immune response (p≤0.002–0.00001). Perorally-infected females showed higher levels of anti-gluten IgG than males (p≤0.009) indicating that T. gondii-generated gastrointestinal infection led to a significant anti-gluten immune response in a sex-dependent manner. These findings support a gastrointestinal basis by which two risk factors for schizophrenia, T. gondii infection and sensitivity to dietary gluten, might be connected to produce the immune activation that is becoming an increasingly recognized pathology of psychiatric disorders.

The mechanisms of industrial mobilization and entrepreneurial and military authoritarianism left the trade union very slight margins for action, and it was indeed unable to govern the increasingly radical labour protests. Only during 1918 did the CGdL manage to initiate a mass unionization process, but soon revealed its incapacity to face the challenges of the frenetic postwar period.

description: We study theoretically the role of topological invariants to protect the Majorana fermions in a model of two-dimensional chiral superconductors which belong to class D of topological periodic table. A rich phase diagram is revealed. Each phase is characterized by the topological invariants for 2d (Z) and 1d (Z2), which lead to the Majorana fermion at the edge of the dislocation and the core of the vortex. Interference of the Majorana fermions originated from the different topological invariants is studied. The stability of the Majorana fermion with respect to the interlayer coupling, i.e., in 3d, is also examined.

The author suggests that more studies will reveal just how important Gebser’s work is to finding our way today in the midst of the decline of one epoch in transition (‘birth pains’) to become another epoch that finally has the potentially to truly not be motivated by fear as the primary driver.

description: We examine the enhancement of the interfacial superconductivity between LaAlO$_{3}$ and SrTiO$_{3}$ by an effective electric field. Through the breaking of inversion symmetry at the interface, we show that a term coupling the superfluid density and an electric field can augment the superconductivity transition temperature. Microscopically, we show that an electric field can also produce changes in the carrier density by relating the measured capacitance to the density of states. Through the electron-phonon induced interaction in bulk SrTiO$_{3}$, we estimate the transition temperature.

description: The First World War led to a renewed imperialist scramble for territory in Africa. Allied victory and African campaigns allowed British, French, Belgian, Portuguese and South African leaders to acquire Germany’s colonies. Their wartime colonial aims contained strong continuities with their long-term strategic interests in Africa, augmented by visions of new opportunities for expansion. At the Paris Peace Conference the Allied Powers sought to justify their acquisitions by claiming they represented African wishes. Yet despite the creation of the League of Nations mandate system, independent African voices were largely ignored.

description: To diagnose the time-variable structure in the fast winds of central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPN), we present an analysis of P Cygni line profiles in FUSE satellite far-UV spectroscopic data. Archival spectra are retrieved to form time-series datasets for the H-rich CSPN NGC 6826, IC 418, IC 2149, IC 4593 and NGC 6543. Despite limitations due to the fragmented sampling of the time-series, we demonstrate that in all 5 CSPN the UV resonance lines are variable primarily due to the occurrence of blueward migrating discrete absorption components (DACs). Empirical (SEI) line-synthesis modelling is used to determine the range of fluctuations in radial optical depth, which are assigned to the temporal changes in large-scale wind structures. We argue that DACs are common in CSPN winds, and their empirical properties are akin to those of similar structures seen in the absorption troughs of massive OB stars. Constraints on PN central star rotation velocities are derived from Fast-Fourier Transform analysis of photospheric lines for our target stars. Favouring the causal role of co-rotating interaction regions, we explore connections between normalised DAC accelerations and rotation rates of PN central stars and O stars. The comparative properties suggest that the same physical mechanism is acting to generate large-scale structure in the line-driven winds in the two different settings.

description: Already in autumn 1914, East Central Europe became a main theatre of operational warfare and an object of strategic planning for the Central Powers, Russia, and later the Entente. After strategic failure in the West, Germany focused on this region as an economic and geopolitical base for sustained warfare and for creating a continental Central Europe (''Mitteleuropa'') bloc. Russia, in turn, sought to secure its influence in the region as a means to maintain its great power status. The deadlock between the Central Powers and Russia motivated representatives of the region’s stateless nations to lobby the Western Powers – the United States especially as of 1917 – to accept them as allies and make their national independence an official war aim.

description: To evaluate clinical and economic outcomes associated with valbenazine compared with deutetrabenazine in patients with tardive dyskinesia (TD) using a model that accounts for multiple dimensions of patient health status. A discretely integrated condition event model was developed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of treatment with valbenazine and deutetrabenazine in a synthetic cohort of 1,000 patients with TD who were receiving antipsychotic medication to treat an underlying psychiatric disorder. Clinical inputs were derived from relevant clinical trials or from publicly available sources. Patients were assessed over 1 year using ≥50% improvement from baseline in Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) total score as the primary definition of response. Response at 1 year using Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) score ≤2 was also assessed. Health outcomes included quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), life years, proportion responding to treatment at 1 year, and number of psychiatric relapses. Regardless of the definition used for response, patients treated with valbenazine were more likely to have responded to treatment at 1 year, lived longer, and accrued more QALYs than patients who received deutetrabenazine. Using the AIMS response criterion, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was $9,951/QALY for valbenazine compared with deutetrabenazine. By comparison, using the CGIC response criterion valbenazine dominated deutetrabenazine with valbenazine-treated patients accumulating more QALYs (3.4 vs 3.3 years) and incurring lower lifetime costs ($252,311 vs $283,208) than deutetrabenazine-treated patients. There are no head-to-head trials of valbenazine and deutetrabenazine, so probabilities of response used in the model were calculated based on an indirect treatment comparison of results from individual trials with one drug or the other, using only those metrics reported across trials. In patients with TD, treatment with valbenazine is highly cost-effective compared with deutetrabenazine.

description: We establish the fluctuation theorem in the presence of information exchange between a nonequilibrium system and other degrees of freedom such as an observer and a feedback controller, where the amount of information exchange is added to the entropy production. The resulting generalized second law sets the fundamental limit of energy dissipation and energy cost during the information exchange. Our results apply not only to feedback-controlled processes but also to a much broader class of information exchanges, and provides a unified framework of nonequilibrium thermodynamics of measurement and feedback control.

description: We report on existence of superconductivity in YIr2Si2 and LaIr2Si2 compounds in relation to crystal structure. The two compounds crystallize in two structural polymorphs, both tetragonal. The high temperature polymorph (HTP) adopts the CaBe2Ge2-structure type (space group P4/nmm) while the low temperature polymorph (LTP) is of the ThCr2Si2 type (I4/mmm). By studying polycrystals prepared by arc melting we have observed that the rapidly cooled samples retain the HTP even at room temperature (RT) and below. Annealing such samples at 900C followed by slow cooling to RT provides the LTP. Both, the HTP and LTP were subsequently studied with respect to magnetism and superconductivity by electrical resistivity, magnetization, AC susceptibility and specific heat measurements. The HTP and LTP of both compounds respectively, behave as Pauli paramagnets. Superconductivity has been found exclusively in the HTP of both compounds below Tsc (= 2.52 K in YIr2Si2 and 1.24 K in LaIr2Si2). The relations of magnetism and superconductivity with the electronic and crystal structure are discussed with comparing experimental data with the results of first principles electronic structure calculations.
Using Sound Source Models to Organize Mixtures

description: Recovering individual source signals from sound mixtures is almost always highly underconstrained, and is made possible only when additional assumptions are made about the form of the sources, mixture process, or both. Many perceptual phenomena, including restoration and illusions, reveal how strongly human listeners can rely on prior expectations to solve perceptual challenges. The basis of our computational work is to equate these expectations with internal models of source behavior, delineating the limited subset of possible sounds that are expected to occur, and thereby providing the constraints to solve the problem. I will review some relevant perceptual phenomena, then discuss how source models, of different degrees of complexity, can be used to help to understand and separate sound mixtures, including speech mixed with nonstationary interference.

description: Elastic scattering observables (differential cross section and analyzing power) are calculated for the reaction $^6$He(p,p)$^6$He at projectile energies starting at 71 MeV/nucleon. The optical potential needed to describe the reaction is derived describing $^6$He in terms of a $^4$He-core and two neutrons. The Watson first order multiple scattering ansatz is extended to accommodate the internal dynamics of a composite cluster model for the $^6$He nucleus scattering from a nucleon projectile. The calculations are compared with the recent experiments at the projectile energy of 71 MeV/nucleon.

description: We study the non-Markovian Langevin dynamics of a massive particle in a one-dimensional double-well potential in the presence of multi-exponential memory by simulations. We consider memory functions as the sum of two or three exponentials with different friction amplitudes $\gamma_i$ and different memory times $\tau_i$ and confirm the validity of a previously suggested heuristic formula for the mean first-passage time $\tau_{\textit{MFP}}$ . Based on the heuristic formula, we derive a general scaling diagram that features a Markovian regime for short memory times, an asymptotic long-memory-time regime where barrier crossing is slowed down and $\tau_{\textit{MFP}}$ grows quadratically with the memory time, and a non-Markovian intermediate regime where barrier crossing is slightly accelerated or slightly slowed down, depending primarily on the particle mass. The relative weight of different exponential memory contributions is described by the scaling variable $\gamma_i/\tau_i^2$ , i.e., memory contributions with long memory times or small amplitudes are negligible compared to other memory contributions.

description: Context: Bow shocks are produced by many astrophysical objects where shock waves are present. Stellar bow shocks, generated by runaway stars, have been previously detected in small numbers and well-studied. Along with progress in model development and improvements in observing instruments, our knowledge of the emission produced by these objects and its origin can now be more clearly understood. Aims: We produce a stellar bow-shock catalogue by applying uniform search criteria and a systematic search process. This catalogue is a starting point for statistical studies, to help us address fundamental questions such as, for instance, the conditions under wich a stellar bow shock is detectable. Methods: By using the newest infrared data releases, we carried out a search for bow shocks produced by early-type runaway stars. We first explored whether a set of known IRAS bow shock candidates are visible in the most recently available IR data, which has much higher resolution and sensitivity. We then carried out a selection of runaway stars from the latest, large runaway catalogue available. In this first release, we focused on OB stars and searched for bow-shaped features in the vicinity of these stars. Results: We provide a bow-shock candidate survey that gathers a total of 28 members which we call the Extensive stellar BOw Shock Survey (E-BOSS). We derive the main bow-shock parameters, and present some preliminary statistical results on the detected objects. Conclusions: Our analysis of the initial sample and the newly detected objects yields a bow-shock detectability around OB stars of $\sim$ 10 per cent. The detections do not seem to depend particularly on either stellar mass, age or position. The extension of the E-BOSS sample, with upcoming IR data, and by considering, for example, other spectral types as well, will allow us to perform a more detailed study of the findings.

description: Gegen Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts erschien ein völlig neues Printmedium in den Auslagen der Buchhandlungen. Es handelte sich um meist auf billigem Papier gefertigte farbenfrohe Einblattdrucke. Ihre Größe war mit ungefähr 43 x 34 cm sehr einheitlich. Umso heterogener waren die abgebildeten Motive und ebenso vielfältig ihre Verwendbarkeit. Damit war ein Produkt auf den Markt geworfen, das flexibel genug war, um über ein Jahrhundert als Ware zu überdauern. Dies macht den Bilderbogen zu einem ungemein wertvollen materiellen Zeugnis des 19. Jahrhunderts.
A multi-agent security system for Android platform

description: The Android mobile platform is fast becoming the most popular operating system for mobile devices. Although Android security is an emerging research area and there have been many commercial and research solutions made available, the resource constrained nature of mobile devices dedicates a continuous pursuit for efficiencies. In this thesis, we present the design and implementation of a multi-agent security system on the Android platform, which is built on the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) specifications compliant Java Agent Development framework (JADE). A prototype system is implemented and studied. In our design, the agents in the prototype system are aware of resource constraints such as battery capacity, network bandwidth, and dynamically adjust their behaviors accordingly to achieve a balance between the resources consumption and security needs. Following an analysis and design methodology recommended by JADE and Android development guidelines, the prototype system provides compatibility with other multi-agent systems and allows easy adaptations to many security scenarios. Several baseline performance measurements are adopted to measure the efficiency of the prototype system.
Challenges to the Multilateral Trading System and Possible Responses
Creators: name: Panagariya, Arvind
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Economics

description: This paper develops three major themes. First, the atmosphere of gloom around the multilateral trading system due to dim prospects of a successful conclusion of the Doha Round notwithstanding, global trade regime remains open and the institution in charge of it, the World Trade Organization, is in sound health. If anything, the Doha Round has been a victim of its own success: considerable de facto liberalization in agriculture has been achieved since the launch of the round. Second, to secure the future of the multilateral trading system, it is nevertheless crucial that the Doha Round is brought to a conclusion even if in a highly diluted form. The damage to the system from an outright failure will be very substantial. Finally, closing the Doha Round will require the United States leading the negotiations. Suggestions that, as the largest merchandise exporter, China should now take the lead are frivolous.
Handeln im Kontext mit ökologischen Folgen : das Campbell-Paradigma als Beitrag zur Umweltpsychologie und zur Umweltschutzpsychologie

description: Die Umweltpsychologie hat zum Ziel, das Zusammenwirken von Mensch und Umwelt zu erklären und dieses Wissen im angewandten Bereich für die Lösung von menschgemach-ten Umweltproblemen einzusetzen. Das Campbell-Paradigma erklärt das zielorientierte Ver-halten von Menschen als Zusammenwirken von Umwelteinstellung und kontextbedingten Verhaltenskosten. In dieser Arbeit wird sein Beitrag zur Umweltpsychologie und zur Umwelt-schutzpsychologie geprüft, indem gezeigt wird, dass die Verhaltenskosten eine Repräsenta-tion realer situationsbedingter Faktoren sind, die spezifisches Umweltverhalten erschweren oder erleichtern, und dass die ökologische Wirkung eines spezifischen Verhaltens von der individuellen Umwelteinstellung abhängt. Im ersten empirischen Teil der Arbeit wird in mehre-ren quasi-experimentellen Feldstudien zunächst die Validität des Verhaltenskostenparameters am Beispiel der Umweltverhaltensweisen Carsharing-Nutzung und Kauf von Bioprodukten an beobachteten oder manipulierten situationalen Faktoren der Umwelt überprüft, ergänzt durch korrelative und experimentelle Ansätze. Im zweiten empirischen Teil der Arbeit wird an den Beispielverhaltensweisen Registrierung für Stromverbrauchsfeedback und Carsharing-Nut-zung gezeigt, dass es von der Ausprägung der Umwelteinstellung einer Person abhängt, in-wieweit diese Verhaltensweisen auch ökologisch entlastende Konsequenzen nach sich ziehen. Zusammenfassend wird in dieser Arbeit mittels situierter Verhaltensforschung ökolo-gisch valide Evidenz für die Gültigkeit des Campbell-Paradigmas als umweltpsychologische Theorie präsentiert, deren praktische Relevanz darin besteht, dass für nachhaltige Gesell-schaften sowohl die verhaltenserleichternde Gestaltung der Umwelt als auch die Einstellung ihrer Mitglieder gegenüber den Zielen Nachhaltigkeit und Umweltschutz erforderlich sind.
Water-Assisted Synthesis of Next Generation 2D Materials for Energy Storage

description: Over the years, various nanomaterials are continuously researched and synthesised to improve energy storage devices' energy and power densities. Two-Dimensional (2D) materials have developed great interest as a new prototype in materials science due to their collective advantages of ultrathin thickness and tuneable physical and chemical properties. The application of these nanomaterials extends to energy storage, water purification, catalysis, biosensors, antibacterial films, and coatings, thereby prompting the development of viable techniques for synthesising nanomaterials. However, challenges of further size reduction of nanomaterials with a simultaneous low cost, scalable and reproducible synthesis approach remain famous for sustainable progress in their practical applications. For the first time, 2D Graphene and MXene composite materials were synthesised through a Continuous Hydrothermal Flow Synthesis (CHFS) method and engineered into electrodes for electrochemical energy storage applications. CHFS is a single-step hydrothermal process involving mixing supercritical water (374 °C, 22.4 MPa) with a flow of water-soluble precursors in a reactor to obtain a rapid and controlled synthesis of nanomaterials. This synthesis method is scalable and tuneable by controlling process parameters such as flow rate, temperature, and pressure, thereby impacting the particle size, morphology, and crystal structure of nanoparticles. In addition, CHFS limits the use of toxic reagents and produces nanomaterials with desired properties in minimal time (seconds). One of the findings in this research paves way for the in-situ production and aqueous processing of functionalised MXene composites with a high electrochemical performance. Through aqueous dispersions as a green route of synthesis in CHFS, these 2D MXene and graphene derivatives were produced with enhanced electrochemical properties. This research provides a significant contribution to the expanding portfolio of continuous hydrothermal flow synthesis reactions. In this thesis, a variety of materials such as manganese (iv) oxide, manganese (iv) oxide/reduced graphene oxide (rGO), titanium (iv) oxide, titanium (iv) oxide/ reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and N-doped MXene/ titanium (iv) oxide, are hydrothermally synthesised via CHFS, developed and fabricated into electrode materials for energy storage applications. The in-depth analysis provides a comprehensive insight into how nanocomposites of promising energy storage properties are designable, made functional, and synthesised in-situ hydrothermally via CHFS from non-toxic and water-soluble precursors while delivering excellent electrochemical performance when used as electrodes in batteries.

description: The First World War contributed to sharp, wide-ranging changes in women's social, legal and familial status, which in turn impacted women's self-esteem and mental attitudes. Women entered the war in one state and emerged with new behavioral practices and attitudes toward life. Military life reshaped family foundations, revealed public initiative in women's organizations and led to manifestations of women's emancipation. Women were unavoidably active on the "home front," as prejudices and stereotypes about a woman's role in society were destroyed. The war allowed women to exhibit independence unthinkable only a few years earlier. Overcoming deprivation, disaster, humiliation and other wartime challenges, women displayed a surprising capacity not only to survive, but to thrive in previously male-dominated roles.
