description: This paper investigates the relationships between challenges faced by Brazilian companies in adopting Energy Management Systems (EnMS). The fuzzy Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) methodology is employed to examine the interdependencies between the challenges. The study involves assembling an expert panel to assess the causal relations between key challenges identified through a literature review. The findings reveal that challenges related to insufficient financial resources, deficiencies in competencies within the implementation team, and lack of support from top management are pivotal factors influencing the adoption of EnMS. These challenges are positioned as core factors, highlighting their critical role in EnMS implementation. Conversely, factors such as difficulty in determining appropriate performance indicators and justifying EnMS certification maintenance are categorised as impact factors, signalling their lower priority for resource allocation. The study contributes to research by providing a nuanced understanding of the challenges hindering EnMS adoption and their interdependencies. Additionally, the findings offer practical insights for organisations seeking to implement EnMS, guiding resource allocation and strategic planning efforts to overcome barriers effectively.

description: A substantial amount of wastewater is generated during the extraction of oil and gas. Wastewater that is generated as a result of oil and gas extraction activities is known as produced water (PW), and managing PW is one of the greatest challenges faced by the oil and gas industry. Effective management of PW requires an understanding of the complex impact it may have on both oil production and water treatment operations. Here, a numerical model has been applied to a real-world case study, that of Kuwait Oil Company (KOC), to examine the relationships among various input and output factors in PW supply chain management. Specifically, the numerical model is a multi-objective optimisation model for the management of PW supply chains that takes into account economic as well as environmental objectives. A global sensitivity analysis has also been performed to assess the economic and operational factors that can influence the management of PW in KOC. The findings of this study show that the operational costs, treatment costs and environmental impacts can be assessed and used to guide the management of the PW supply chain in KOC.

Take control of your cache: An infrastructure for user-controlled write-backs in modern superscalar out-of-order processors
Creators: name: Anand, Shashank
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2023

description: Mechanisms to explicitly manage the presence of data in caches are fundamental for the correctness and performance of modern systems. These operations, while critical, often incur significant performance penalties even when carefully used. Moreover, these mechanisms are implemented in proprietary and often undocumented hardware, so research into optimizations and novel designs is mostly limited to slow, simplified software simulations. In this thesis, we design microarchitectural extensions to support two types of user-controlled cache writebacks to main memory. Furthermore, we propose Skip It, a mechanism built on top of our extensions that substantially reduces redundant writebacks. We have implemented these designs on the open-source BOOM, an out-of-order RISC-V CPU. The performance in hardware is ≈ 100 cycles which favorably compares to similar operations in commercially available server-class platforms. In addition, Skip It performs as well as or better than state-of-the-art software techniques for avoiding unnecessary writebacks.

description: Capsules are long-chain carbohydrate polymers that envelop the surfaces of many bacteria, protecting them from host immune responses. Capsule biosynthesis enzymes are potential drug targets and valuable biotechnological tools for generating vaccine antigens. Despite their importance, it remains unknown how structurally variable capsule polymers of Gram-negative pathogens are linked to the conserved glycolipid anchoring these virulence factors to the bacterial membrane. Using Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae as an example, we demonstrate that CpsA and CpsC generate a poly(glycerol-3-phosphate) linker to connect the glycolipid with capsules containing poly(galactosylglycerol-phosphate) backbones. We reconstruct the entire capsule biosynthesis pathway in A. pleuropneumoniae serotypes 3 and 7, solve the X-ray crystal structure of the capsule polymerase CpsD, identify its tetratricopeptide repeat domain as essential for elongating poly(glycerol-3-phosphate) and show that CpsA and CpsC stimulate CpsD to produce longer polymers. We identify the CpsA and CpsC product as a wall teichoic acid homolog, demonstrating similarity between the biosynthesis of Gram-positive wall teichoic acid and Gram-negative capsules.
Traffic Engineering in SCION: The impact of end host QoS mechanisms on network performance
Creators: name: Suter, Pascal Marc
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2023

description: The new internet architecture of SCION offers end-host path selection. This thesis will investigate the impact of such path selection on the quality of experience (QoE) for the users and the impact on global network performance. It will propose mechanisms that can estimate the latency and loss rates for the paths and select the ideal path for QoE. The thesis will focus on the use case of video conference applications (VCAs) to evaluate the mechanisms. Based on a set of experiments, a QoE metric for VCAs will be created. The mechanisms will be implemented in a simulator and experiments based on this implementation will evaluate the QoE and the global network impact of the mechanisms.

description: In September 2015, the United Nations launched the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, followed by the adoption of the ‘Space2030’ Agenda in October 2021, highlighting the importance of space and Earth Observation (EO) data in monitoring progress towards these goals. This research examines the benefits of EO evolution, spurred by New Space initiatives, within socioeconomic sustainability and development. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are introduced to assess the socioeconomic impacts related to Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG8) targets 8.2 and 8.3. Findings show that the EO evolution enhances job opportunities (KPI1) and increases job deployment rates per investment (KPI2). Furthermore, this trend democratises access to the space market, significantly boosting participation of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) (KPI3).

Online Learning and Control for Tracking Unknown Targets
Creators: name: Li, Yueshan
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2023
Subjects: Online Control

description: In the optimal control of unknown systems, offline approaches, such as reinforcement learning or system identification can be helpful in a number of scenarios and have proven themselves over decades. These, however, hinge on a number of crucial assumptions that often fail to hold in practice, most importantly, the availability of a reliable simulator and the possibility of offline learning/identification. When these do not hold or hold partially, the need of online or ’on the-go’ algorithms becomes apparent; these control the system while aiming to stay as close as possible to a performance objective which is revealed only sequentially. The tracking problem of an unknown reference signal is an example of such a problem. It is a challenging task, yet it appears frequently in practice, for example in tracking of a flock of wild animals or in pursuit of malicious agents. To achieve close tracking of an unknown/adversarial target, it is critical for the controller to learn online from collected data during the operation and to adapt to changes fast. We consider the linear quadratic tracking case and propose an online algorithm, RLS MPC, that uses recursive least squares to learn the time-varying dynamic model of the target and solves for the optimal policy under the framework of receding horizon control. We show that its dynamic regret scales with the rate of change of the target dynamics, as opposed to rate of change of target states as in previous works. We prove that for slow-changing target dynamics, like periodic targets, the dynamic regret of RLS-MPC is bounded by O(log T). For general targets, the algorithm achieves a bound of O(1 + √V T), where V is the path length of the target dynamics. We implement the proposed controller on a quadrotor model and validate it both in simulations and on a real mini-quadrotor.

description: The disposal of biomedical waste (BMW) ash presents a growing environmental concern due to its potential to contaminate ecosystems and causes health hazards. This study explores an innovative solution by utilising BMW ash as a sustainable stabiliser to enhance the geotechnical properties of a soft soil, which exhibits low strength and high plasticity characteristics. Through the application of the Taguchi method, the influence of BMW ash concentration and curing period on the soil properties such as compaction, pH, electrical conductivity, and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) were evaluated. The experimental results show that adding BMW ash significantly reduces soil plasticity and increases UCS, achieving a strength gain of more than 180 kPa within 14 days. The optimal combination was determined to be 20% BMW ash with a 14-day curing period. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that the curing time is the dominant factor, contributing 90.86% to early strength development. Microstructural analysis using SEM and EDX further reveals the formation of ettringite, which promotes early strength gain. This research demonstrates the dual benefits of BMW ash in mitigating environmental waste while improving soil performance, offering a viable solution for both waste management and soil stabilisation challenges.

description: This study aims to fill the knowledge gap regarding the physicochemical properties of combustible municipal solid waste (CMSW) from Lomé under its wet and dry seasons. Over both seasons, waste characterisation campaigns were conducted followed by the proximate and ultimate analyses of CMSW samples composed of putrescible, miscellaneous combustible (MC), plastic, textile, and paper & cardboard fractions. In addition, the energy and oxide contents from CMSW were measured with a calorimeter and X-Ray Fluorescence analyser respectively. The results showed that putrescible had the highest weight proportion with significant differences among waste fractions over wet and dry seasons (p-value 1.90E–07 < 0.05). On average, textile and plastic achieved the highest volatile and lowest fixed carbon contents respectively, while plastic achieved the highest ash content. The highest carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen content was from textile, while the highest nitrogen-sulphur content was from plastic. The estimated energy potential was in the order of plastic (2.88 MJ/kg) > putrescible (2.73 MJ/kg) > textile (0.86 MJ/kg) > MC (0.67 MJ/kg) > paper & cardboard (0.18 MJ/kg). The content of silicon dioxide (75.88 wt%) and manganese oxide (0.02 wt%) were the highest and lowest from plastic, respectively. Therefore, CMSW showed important energy value though highly contaminated by fines.

description: Pollution of water bodies and process upset in treatment plants in Mexico by cheese whey discharges is a matter of concern where scant inspection and law enforcement may aggravate the situation. This study analyzes the current state of environmental regulatory compliance and the impacts of whey discharges with particular emphasis on the country’s leading dairy-producing state, Jalisco. Subsequently, cheese whey characteristics and current valorisation volume and uses are discussed in detail. From there, anaerobic digestion is presented as a key technology for cheese whey treatment mainly to comply with wastewater regulations, with recovery of biogas as bonus. From there, the volume of cheese whey discharged to the environment and potential equivalence in biogas and electricity production is calculated considering both the technologies commonly used in industrial applications and for farms and small producers. Also, the potential electricity generation and prevented atmospheric impact are calculated and framed against the current Mexican energy and emissions inventory. Finally, a review of past efforts to disseminate the use of anaerobic digesters to produce biogas from organic waste in Mexico is undertaken, followed by a discussion of the basic requirements for a strategy to sustainably manage and treat whey discharges.

Sherborn 1922 -32: 2777.
COMMENTS AND NOTE. Grimmer says it is similar to flavus [= Malthinus flaveolus (Herbst)], but smaller in size and with a black line running along the pronotum. This diagnosis is inadequate and could be adapted to at least three species: Malthinus seriepunctatus Kiesenwetter, Malthinus facialis (C. G. Thomson) and Malthinus fasciatus (A. G. Olivier). Therefore, given the absence of the Holotype, Malthinus gracilis Grimmer is here considered a nomen dubium.

COMMENTS AND NOTE. Meuth (1913) informs us that Grimmer collected in a circle of 2 x 2 square miles around Graz in Austria. Then, the species was reported by Kelch (1846) for Upper Silesia - area of Racibórz, and again for Silesia by Bach (1852). The small size and coloration make one think of a Malthodes, and therefore indeterminable without seeing the type or having a diagnosis on male terminalia. Bach (1852) redescribes the species on material determined by Grimmer himself, but unfortunately also his collection, once conserved at the Zoological Museum Marburg / Philipps-University Marburg, is now completely untraceable (Horn et al. 1990; Bousquet 2016; Groll 2017; Lothar Beck personal communication). Therefore, the status of nomen dubium attributed by Burakowski et al. (1985), is here confirmed.

description: In the context of sustainable energy use, multiple criteria are involved in the decision to select the best energy generation projects, as well as its installation location. However, despite the widespread use of decision-making techniques, there is a noticeable gap due to the lack of a systematic process for selecting the best projects for energy transition. This paper evaluates alternatives of photovoltaic panels for energy generation in floating systems and proposes a procedure to select the best project using a multiple-criteria decision analysis. The Entropy method was used to determine the weight of eight criteria, including cost, number of cells, efficiency, area, panel weight, and power characteristics, and the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) was used to make the selection. A sensitivity analysis was conducted considering different weighing methods. Among the 20 photovoltaic panels analysed, the method proved to be effective in determining the most successful one for installation in floating systems. The chosen panel maintained the best performance in all scenarios tested. This paper provides a systematic approach for selecting the most suitable photovoltaic panel for floating energy systems, contributing to researchers to refine decision-making methodologies and practitioners to optimise project implementation in sustainable energy initiatives.

description: We introduce the innovative concept of Sustainable Laser Energy Consumption (SLEC, ε) that promotes sustainable metal additive manufacturing practices while maintaining productivity and tailored densification in the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process. This study focuses on deriving analytical expressions through dimensional analysis and Buckingham’s π theorem to predict bulk density with high precision across studied materials: In718, W, AlSi10Mg, Ti6Al4V, and SS316L. This approach provides valuable insights and allows the setting of an appropriate combination of scanning speed and hatch distance for a range of laser power, enabling sustainable manufacturing of SLMed components with tailored density. Furthermore, the mathematical expression introduced as SLEC facilitates the tradeoff between energy consumption and productivity, promoting a greener and more sustainable future of metal additive manufacturing. Furthermore, the underlying fractal nature of SLM is explored through the investigation of the influence of fractal structures, present in the powder bed, on densification that provides information on how powder morphology and homogeneity (i.e. fractal dimension and lacunarity) of the powder bed are linked to a sustainable SLM process.

description: In-network packet processing utilizing SmartNICs has emerged as a promising method for enhancing the performance of distributed applications. This approach leverages packet-level parallelism and aligns with the in-network computing trend, which involves integrating energy-efficient processing cores with high-speed NICs. By offloading specific data processing tasks to the networking infrastructure instead of relying solely on the Host CPU, application latency can be reduced, and Host throughput can be maximized by effectively overlapping computation and communication. Over the past decade, several SmartNIC architectures have been developed, accompanied by corresponding APIs for programming them. Off-path SmartNICs incorporate an on-NIC PCIe switch to route packets to a multi-core SoC running an operating system, while on-path SmartNICs integrate cores along the packet communication path with packet manipulation capabilities. To analyze the trade-offs of these two architectures, we conducted a comparative analysis of on-path and off-path SmartNICs. We ported the main components of Caladan, a data plane system that incorporates interference-aware CPU scheduling, to the off-path Bluefield-2 SmartNIC. To assess its performance, we implemented IO and compute-bound tasks on top of Caladan and evaluated their throughput. We then compared the resulting throughputs with those achieved by the same tasks in PsPIN, an on-path RISC-V-based accelerator. We uncover PsPIN's superior performance while acknowledging the increased complexity associated with its application implementation. Conversely, Caladan provides a straightforward pathway for tailoring to distinct use cases and simplifying application development, albeit with potentially lower performance. These findings shed light on the intricate trade-offs and differences between performance and the intricate domains of overall system complexity and complexity of API development in off-path and on-path architectures.

description: Developing more sustainable public transportation modes has become one of the key elements for mitigating the energy and environmental issues that are related to the global transportation sector, especially high capacity public transportation modes such as bus and subway systems. In this study, the expected environmental implications of Fuel Cell Electric Buses (FCEBs) in Australia during the next 25 years were determined. For this purpose, ARIMA and Exponential Smoothing models were developed to predict the expected GHG emissions and the annual kilometres that will be travelled by buses in 2050. The expected Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions produced by buses were determined, based on different scenarios (0% FCEBs penetration, 50% FCEBs penetration, 100% FCEBs penetration). The results of the study concluded that a slight increase in the annual travelled distance by buses in Australia is expected over the next 25 years, with a total increase of 6.9% during the period 2022–2050. Moreover, over time, the environmental implications of FCEBs will become more significant, due to the acceleration in the development of more eco-friendly hydrogen production methods, which could lead to a substantial decrease of up to 89% in GHG emissions, with a 100% transition to FCEBs by 2050 compared to 2022.
Full-System Evaluation of the sPIN In-Network-Compute Architecture
Creators: name: Xu, Pengcheng
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich

description: In-network-computing with SmartNICs is gaining popularity in high-performance networking for their ability to offload packet processing tasks from the CPU and their latency advantage thanks to the proximity to the network traffic without having to go through PCIe. The sPIN in-network-computing paradigm developed at ETH Zürich aims to provide a programming model for developers to build high-performance packet processing routines for on-path SmartNICs. While the paradigm has been evaluated with use cases from diverse scenarios in software and hardware simulation, it has yet to see a full E2E system-level evaluation that exercises the entire packet processing loop on hardware in the real world. In this thesis, we perform an end-to-end analysis of the sPIN paradigm by building a full-system prototype of sPIN on FPGA based on PsPIN, a cycle-accurate simulation prototype of sPIN, and Corundum, an open-source FPGA-based Ethernet NIC. We show that the resulting system FPsPIN facilitates the development and testing of sPIN handlers, allowing real-world performance and computation/communication overlap evaluations that would not have been possible with the old cycle-accurate simulation models due to the slow simulation speed and absence of a host CPU. We present various improvement suggestions to the sPIN specification, discovered through the process of building FPsPIN. In addition, we conduct a detailed performance evaluation of FPsPIN through three benchmarks implemented for the platform, showing a 50 us latency advantage, over 99% computation/communication overlap, 6.4 Gbps and 1.2 Gbps throughput in simple and complex synthetic benchmarks. The lower application throughput shows the deficiency of the packet processing cores used in FPsPIN and shows an opportunity for future research on desirable architectural features for SmartNIC cores.

description: This paper presents two major advances in parallel assembly sequence planning (PASP) for complex systems, specifically wind turbine gearboxes. The proposed time-cost-quality PASP hybrid model (PASP-TCQ) aims to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve quality by aligning optimisation parameters with real-world demands. This model is designed to optimise complex assembly processes by addressing constraints on time, cost, and quality effectively. Additionally, we introduce a particle swarm-bacteria foraging optimisation (PSBFO) algorithm that integrates the global search capability of particle swarm optimisation (PSO) with the local optimisation strengths of bacteria foraging optimisation (BFO). Integrating PSBFO into PASP-TCQ achieves significant improvements: a 17% reduction in assembly time to 100 hours, a 10% cost reduction to $94,500, and a quality index improvement to 0.93. Statistical tests, including analysis of variance (ANOVA) and tukey’s honest significant difference (HSD), confirmed the PSBFO’s superiority, with significant gains of 8.44 units over BFO and 13.02 units over PSO in objective function values (p < 0.05). Extensive simulations on a 10 MW wind turbine gearbox validate the effectiveness of the PASP-TCQ and PSBFO, demonstrating their potential to enhance efficiency and productivity in industrial assembly operations.

description: The rise in mobility and demand for fast movement brings the traditional modes of transport to their limits. A broader development of transport systems is crucial.
The Hyperloop pushes the boundaries and enables an efficient and safe way of transport. With the principle of a pneumatic tube, transport capsules, so-called pods, travel at high speeds through a low-pressure tube to minimize aerodynamic drag. To guarantee a solid development, aerodynamic phenomena need to be investigated and addressed.
In the present bachelor thesis, the aerodynamic design system for a pod participating in a Hyper- loop Pod Competition is developed. The design-by-simulation system consists of three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design (CAD) and the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The CFD simulation part is the main topic in this thesis.
Various three-dimensional CFD simulations at partial-vacuum condition were performed, analyzed and compared whereby the aerodynamic drag on the vehicle’s surface could noticeably be reduced. Based on the design-by-simulation system, the pod’s shell geometry was improved, drag reduction of 19 percent was achieved. Further, the optimized shape was simulated and analyzed for conditions with different system pressure.
The results build a firm foundation for further aerodynamic elaboration and investigation for the Hyperloop concept. On this basis, it is recommended to perform physical tests and measurements of the pod to validate the obtained CFD results.

The very detailed description by Mauriès (2013) is of the highest quality. Concerning external morphology it is worth noticing that the specimen from Bernia differs from those from Confrides in having pigmented eyes while it agrees with the Confrides specimens in all other characters except for some minor differences (see discussion) which we regard insignificant. The SEM pictures presented here (Figs. 2, 3) complete Mauriès’ description and reveal some hitherto undescribed morphological details such as the shallow, inconspicuous evaginations of the cuticle at the place of the eyes (Fig. 2 C–E) that are almost impossible to appreciate with optical microscopy, due to the absence of pigment. Also, there is a cobblestone paving-like microsculpture below the insertion of the antennae (Fig. 2 C–E), similar to that found by Reboleira & Enghoff (2014) in Sireuma nobile Reboleira & Enghoff, 2014.
The new records allow us to elaborate an updated distribution map of the genus (Fig. 1 A) and a key to species, illustrated with comparative images of the gonopods (Fig. 4).
