description: Dieser Beitrag geht der Frage von Regionalität frühneuzeitlicher Wallfahrt im niederösterreichischen Zentralraum ausgehend von einem Fundbestand religiöser Medaillen aus St. Pölten und seriellem Verwaltungsschriftgut der Wallfahrtsorte Maria Taferl und Maria Langegg nach. Die aus dem ehemaligen Stadtfriedhof von St. Pölten stammenden Wallfahrts- und Heiligenmedaillen werfen ein Schlaglicht auf potenzielle Pilgerziele der Stadtbevölkerung und geben Auskunft zu religiösen Akteuren (vor allem Orden) sowohl innerhalb der Stadt als auch im niederösterreichischen Umland bis nach Wien. Die Entwicklungen der Wallfahrten von Maria Taferl und Maria Langegg im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert, insbesondere die Frage der Einzugsgebiete der Prozessionen, der externen Prediger und Votivgaben, lässt für beide Orte räumliche Orientierungen anhand serieller Schriftquellen nachvollziehen. In der Zusammenschau eröffnen beide Mediengruppen für sich jeweils Wallfahrtsräume, deren Vergleich sowohl Gemeinsames als auch Trennendes zeigt.
description: This paper examines the question of regionality of early modern pilgrimage in the central region of Lower Austria on the basis of a collection of religious medals from St. Pölten and serial administrative documents from the pilgrimage sites of Maria Taferl and Maria Langegg. The pilgrimage and saint medals from the former city cemetery of St. Pölten shed light on potential pilgrimage destinations of the city's population and provide information on religious actors (especially religious orders) both within the city and in the Lower Austrian environs as far as Vienna. The developments of the pilgrimages of Maria Taferl and Maria Langegg in the 17th and 18th centuries, in particular the question of the catchment areas of the processions, external preachers and votive offerings, allows spatial orientations to be traced for both places on the basis of serial written sources. In the synopsis, both groups of media open up spaces of pilgrimage for themselves, a comparison that reveals both common and divisive features.

description: With the increase in the chip packaging density the amount of heat generated from them has also increased considerably. Conventional cooling techniques are not well suited to solve the thermal problems that are arising as a result of this miniaturization of power microelectronic devices. We have developed a novel assembly of micro-pipe laden heat conducting substrate and thick film thermoelectric micro-cooler to deal with this issue. This paper presents the description of the novel micro-cooler fabrication technique and the results of the thermal analysis done on the micro-pipe laden substrate using the Pro/Mechanica thermal simulation package for varying performance factors.

description: The vast majority of 15-litre water cooler bottles produced in the world today are made of blow moulded polycarbonate (PC) plastic and are returnable / refillable. This paper presents the design and development of a collapsible, recyclable 15-litre blow moulded water cooler bottle made of PET plastic to replace the traditional refillable type polycarbonate bottle. The innovative bottle design geometry allows it to be easily crushed after use, and also offers several advantages in terms of light weight, stability and environmental amiability. The paper presents the detailed process of design, analysis and optimisation using the finite element analysis software considering structural stability and crushing behaviour under various orientations and loading conditions.
title: Ornamental plants: our future invaders? Engaging with gardeners to tackle the issue of invasive species
Creators: name: Jones, Tomos

Year: 2024

description: The global nature crisis means that action to tackle the issue of invasive species is essential; not least because their number and impacts are expected to increase due to climate change. As well as being one of the direct drivers of the nature crisis, invasive species are estimated to have a global cost of £330Bn (IPBES, 2019) while also impacting on human health and way of life. Identifying potentially invasive species - or ‘future invaders’ - early is preferable. This project explores some of the parameters for identifying future invaders growing in gardens in Britain and Ireland, by engaging with gardeners, and suggesting solutions for reducing the risks associated with invasive ornamental plants.
The estimated 30 million gardens in the UK, with a rich diversity of ornamentals, represent a pool of future invaders. Gardeners in Britain and Ireland are therefore crucial actors. To engage with these gardeners, an exhibit at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea Flower Show - an annual focal point for amateur and professional gardeners alike - was developed to raise awareness of the issue and collect data by means of a survey.
Thematic analysis interpreted the meaning of ‘invasive’ from a gardener’s perspective. Increased public engagement was demonstrated to improve gardeners’ understanding of the term and the potential risks associated with invasive ornamentals. This project also showed that engaging with gardeners in their roles as ‘first contact’ for reporting future invaders, can be an effective means for prioritising ornamentals. From the many different plants grown, 558 gardeners reported 251 taxa of concern of which nine are prioritised using a structured approach for further research. There is considerable interest amongst gardeners in their critical role in managing invasive species and identifying future invaders. This interest needs to be encouraged and offers invasion science an important opportunity.

It shows that consumption increases following the transformation of a temporary contract. It also suggests that the consumption response to unemployment is less pronounced for temporary employees, who can anticipate the shock from the predetermined duration of their contract. The findings draw from the permanent income hypothesis and highlight the consumption implications of policies promoting stable employment.

description: The family Iravadiidae is found to be polyphyletic in a molecular phylogenetic analysis using a subset of Australian taxa. Taxa previously assigned to Iravadia form a monophyletic clade, but Nozeba topaziaca clusters with Auricorona queenslandica n. gen. and n. sp. in an unnamed family related to Tornidae. Aenigmula criscionei n. gen. and n. sp., an iravadiid-like species from the Northern Territory, belongs to another unnamed family related to Caecidae, Calopiidae and Clenchiellidae. A systematic revision of some Australian ‘iravadiids’ raises the subgenera Fluviocingula and Pseudomerelina to full generic rank and reinstates two former synonyms of Iravadia (Fairbankia), Pellamora and Wakauraia, as genera. The species formerly identified in Australia as Iravadia quadrasi is recognised as three allopatric species; Iravadia pilbara n. sp. and the reinstated species Iravadia goliath and Iravadia quadrina. Pellamora splendida n. sp., from Western Australia, is recognised as distinct from Pellamora australis, and Fluviocingula superficialis n. sp. from Fluviocingula resima. Wakauraia fukudai n. sp. is recorded from central Queensland.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:1B9917F6-48B2-4597-85C1-F90BA9093475

description: Workflow management systems (WfMSs) have been used for organizational business process re-engineering and automation in various application domains. The use of ubiquitous web as infrastructure of WfMSs widens the applicability of workflow technology to almost every organization. Workflow technology is becoming the core technology for enterprise computing. However, many limitations remain in existing workflow management systems for supporting more demanding applications. In this paper, we address several issues in current workflows management: workflow modeling and verification, transactional support of workflows, and workflow evolution. We also discuss the use of web technology as an infrastructure for supporting WfMSs.

Numerical investigation of mixing in microchannels with patterned grooves

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Mixing in microchannels with patterned grooves was studied numerically by CFD simulations and particle tracking technique. Point location, velocity interpolation and a fourth-order adaptive Runge–Kutta integration scheme were applied in the particle tracking algorithms. Using these algorithms, Poincaré maps were calculated from the 3D velocity field exported from a CFD package for microfluidics (MemCFD™). For small aspect ratio (α = 0.05) grooves, the results showed that there was no significant irregularity in the Poincaré map, and indicated little chaotic effect. For high aspect ratio (α = 0.30) grooves, the flow pattern became more jumbled, but there was no apparent evidence that indicated the flow was chaotic, for Reynolds numbers up to five. However, Poincaré maps could still be used to evaluate the performance of this type of micro-mixer. The particle trajectories recorded in the Poincaré maps were circular-like patterns. By counting the number of dots to form one circle in the Poincaré maps, the length of the channel to enable one recirculation could be calculated. The results indicated that this length had an exponential relation to the aspect ratio of grooves, and it was independent of the flow velocity. The CFD simulation showed that the transverse motion could fold and stretch fluids to increase their interfacial area. The results showed that micro-mixers with patterned grooves caused rotation of the fluid streams. This rotation can reorient the folding in the depth direction, and can enhance passive mixing in microfluidic devices with shallow channels.

description: Cyclic lipopeptides like surfactin, iturin, fengycine etc. are a group of natural products with a wide range of promising properties, including antibiotic and surface activity. They usually consist of a peptide ring and a lipid moiety. In times of emerging antibiotic-resistant bacteria lipopeptides could offer new structures for the solution of this problem. Furthermore, due to their surface activity they could also be used as environment friendly oil dispersant. Cyclic lipopeptides are produced by nonribosomal-peptide synthetases (NRPS) or occasionally in combination with polyketide synthases (PKS). NRPS and PKS show a modular structure which is reflected in their genetic organization. This modular structure genetic organization could be utilized to create new derivatives of cyclic lipopeptides. Modules could be deleted, added or replaced by others to create new cyclic lipopeptides derivatives. We are using the surfactin NRPS in Bacillus subtilis 168 to create novel surfactin derivatives. The peptide ring of surfactin consists of seven amino acids and its lipid chain ranges in size from C12 to C16. Our focus was put on the modification of the peptidic portion. The amino acid composition and order of surfactin is glutamic acid, leucine, D-leucine, valine, aspartic acid, D-leucine and followed by leucine. In our work we aimed at the modification of the stereochemistry of surfactin, the charged amino acid at position five, the leucine at position seven, the lactam ring formation and the creation of novel lipopeptides utilizing COM-domains. The charged amino acids should be deleted or replaced to increase the surfactin stability in sea water. The stereochemistry of surfactin was modified by introducing an E-domain in module 5 and by deleting the E-domain in module 6. The charged amino acid at position 5 was removed by using three different approaches and resulted in the production of [ΔAsp5]surfactin and [ΔAsp5ΔLeu7]surfactin derivatives. Leucin at position seven was removed in three different ways and unveiled different mechanisms of how [ΔLeu7]surfactin derivatives could be formed. The production of lactamo-surfactin was not achieved, but we were able to determine factors that could contribute to the success of this project in future. A further way to generate novel lipopeptides could be the utilization of COM-domains in order to create new cross communications between different NRPS subunits. We were not able to introduce cross communication between the surfactin and the fengycin gene cluster. However, based on the results of this study we developed an optimized concept to achieve this in future.

description: The past two years have seen a steady increase in cybercrime with reports citing a 50\% rise in attacks. To avoid costly security patching after software deployment, security-by-design techniques (e.g., STRIDE threat analysis) are adopted in organizations to root out security issues before the system is ever implemented. Despite the global gap in cybersecruity workforce and the high manual effort required for performing threat analysis, organizations are ramping up threat analysis activities. However, past experimental results were inconclusive regarding some performance indicators of threat analysis techniques thus practitioners have little evidence for choosing the technique to adopt. To address this issue, we replicated a controlled experiment with STRIDE. Our study was aimed at measuring and comparing the performance indicators (productivity and precision) of two STRIDE variants (element and interaction). We conclude the paper by comparing our results to the original study and providing a road-map on best practices of replicating empirical studies with human participants, backed by evidence gathered from reviewing existing scientific literature.

description: This study aims to quantify the share of unregistered pesticides on sale in Mali. To do so, the research team conducted a survey of agro-dealers operating in 10 different markets across Mali in June 2019, at the beginning of the 2019/20 cropping season. Fraudulent pesticides include both unregistered generic products as well as counterfeits. While identification of unregistered products is relatively straightforward, counterfeits are very difficult to identify with certainty, even by the authorized distributors, particularly without laboratory testing. Given the prohibitive cost of laboratory testing, and the limited resources available for this study, our team has focused solely on quantifying unregistered pesticides, which we can measure with some confidence. By omitting the additional unknown level of counterfeits, these results provide a lower bound on fraudulent pesticide volumes in Mali The survey results suggest that illegal, unregistered pesticides account for about 26% of all pesticide volumes sold in Mali. Of these roughly 5% come from Ghana, 2% from Côte d’Ivoire and the remaining 19% are not registered anywhere. Mali’s designated regulator, the Comité Sahélien des Pesticides (CSP), authorizes pesticides for sale based on their efficacy and safety. The high level of unauthorized pesticides currently on sale in Mali results in frequent complaints from farmers as well as potential danger to human health and the environment. Improved post-registration monitoring and enforcement will be critical to ensuring quality inputs for farmers as well as safety for farmers and consumers.

description: Atlantochrysa atlantica (McLachlan) is restricted to Madeira and the Canary Islands. To determine its origin, molecular and morphological methods were used to identify its closest relatives among 40 species of Chrysopidae in 23 genera. Phylogenetic analysis of nuclear DNA from PepCK, wg, and ATPase show monotypic Atlantochrysa in a clade that includes American Meleoma and African Cunctochrysa; within the clade, Atlantochrysa is the sister taxon of those two genera together. Adult morphology and proximity to Africa suggest an origin in Africa from a Cunctochrysa-like ancestor, while larval morphology and habits support an origin in the Western Hemisphere from a Meleoma-like ancestor. A Bayesian phylogenetic analysis places the origin of this clade at around 20 mya. Atlantochrysa probably evolved in the early Miocene from an African relative of either Cunctochrysa or Meleoma, or from a shared African ancestor of both genera lacking the trash-carrying suite of specialisations.

description: To improve mixing, obstacles have been placed in the channel to try to disrupt flow and reduce the diffusion path. The disruption to flow velocity field alters the flow direction from one fluid to another. In this way, convection may occur to enhance the mixing. Ideally, properly designed geometric parameters, such as layout and number of obstacles, improve the mixing performance without increasing the pressure drop. In this work, CoventorWareTM, a commercial computational fluid dynamics tool for microfluidics was used to study the mixing of two liquids in a 'Y' channel. The results indicate that asymmetric layout of the obstacle has more effect on the mixing than the number of obstacles. Placing obstacles in the microchannels is a novel method for mixing in microfluidic devices, and the results can provide useful information in the design of these devices.

description: Protein phosphorylation is one of the most ubiquitous post-translational modifications, regulating numerous essential processes in cells. Accordingly, the large-scale annotation of phosphorylation sites continues to provide central insight into the regulation of signaling networks. The global analysis of the phosphoproteome typically relies on mass spectrometry analysis of phosphopeptides, with an enrichment step necessary due to the sub-stoichiometric nature of phosphorylation. Several affinity-based methods and chemical modification strategies have been developed to date, but the choice of enrichment method can have a considerable impact on the results. Here, we show that a biotinylated, photo-cleavable phosphorimidazolide reagent permits the immobilization and subsequent cleavage of phosphopeptides. The method is capable of the capture and release of phosphopeptides of varying characteristics, and this mild and selective strategy expands the current repertoire for phosphopeptide chemical modification with the potential to enrich and identify new phosphorylation sites in the future.

description: The photooxidative stability of a series of doubly bridged anthracenes was evaluated after their preparation via twofold macrocyclization of a bis(resorcinyl)anthracene. Lightfastness correlates with the energy levels of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), resulting in superior stability of the tetraesters compared to the tetraethers. The lengths and steric demand of the linker only plays a minor role for the ester-based compounds, which can be prepared in reasonable yields and thus tested in proof-of-concept organic light-emitting diodes. Double ester-bridging allows deep blue electro-luminescence, highlighting the importance of the choice of the functional groups used for macrocyclization.

description: Microstructure-based patterned surfaces with antifouling capabilities against a wide range of organisms are yet to be optimised. Several studies have shown that microtopographic features affect the settlement and the early stages of biofilm formation of microorganisms. It is speculated that the fluctuating stress–strain rates developed on patterned surfaces disrupt the stability of microorganisms. This study investigated the dynamic interactions of a motile bacterium (Escherichia coli) with microtopographies in relation to initial settlement. The trajectories of E. coli across a patterned surface of a microwell array within a microchannel-based flow cell system were assessed experimentally with a time-lapse imaging module. The microwell array was composed of 256 circular wells, each with diameter 10 μm, spacing 7 μm and depth 5 μm. The dynamics of E. coli over microwell-based patterned surfaces were compared with those over plain surfaces and an increased velocity of cell bodies was observed in the case of patterned surfaces. The experimental results were further verified and supported by computational fluid dynamic simulations. Finally, it was stated that the nature of solid boundaries and the associated microfluidic conditions play key roles in determining the dynamic stability of motile bacteria in the close vicinity over surfaces.

description: In general, the Reynolds number is low in microfluidic channels. This means that the viscous force plays a dominant role. As a result, the flow is most likely to be laminar under normal conditions, especially for liquids. Therefore, diffusion, rather than turbulence affects the mixing. In this work, the commercial computational fluid dynamics tool for microfluidics, known as FlumeCAD, is used to study the mixing of two liquids in a Y channel and the results are presented. To improve mixing, obstacles have been placed in the channel to try to disrupt flow and reduce the lamella width. Ideally, properly designed geometric parameters, such as layout and number of obstacles, improve the mixing performance without sacrificing the pressure drop too much. In addition, various liquid properties, such as viscosity, diffusion constant, are also evaluated for their effect on mixing. The results indicate that layout of the obstacle has more effect on the mixing than the number of the obstacles. Placing obstacles or textures in the microchannels is a novel method for mixing in microfluidic devices, and the results can provide useful information in the design of these devices.
Being indisciplined

description: The example of the coming-together of the aesthetician/critic/academic and the arts practitioner is a useful synecdoche, a figure for thinking about the precariousness and potential ill-fitting collision of the 'inter' and the 'trans'. In picking up on this thread I suggest that rather than seeing this as a lugubrious impasse we treat it as an opportunity, a heuretic that enables us to make something with what we have at hand. And in this bricolage we need to be bold and divest ourselves of the usual trap in such discussions of defaulting to familiar, jaded and, as Ted reminds us, deleterious binary oppositions. So rather than trying to resolve these contradictions I suggest that we embrace irresolution. Instead of being trans or inter, we need to be undisciplined. Or more accurately, 'indisciplined'.

description: Understanding and predicting bacterial behaviour in foods is vital to establish food safety. Although in the past most microbiological studies were conducted in liquid systems (broths), it is well known that bacterial behaviour changes fundamentally when grown in structured, solid-like environments. Additionally, the food industry is evolving towards a more sustainable approach, following consumer demands for more healthy and more natural food products. Therefore, the production as well as the composition of food products is changing. Examples of such changes are the reduction of fat, salt or sugar contents, or the replacement of commercial artificial food additives and common food preservation technologies with alternative more natural or milder approaches. However, many of these ingredients, additives and technologies also serve food safety purposes. Therefore, emerging mild preservation technologies, such as natural antimicrobials and non-thermal processing methods, are being recognised as potential alternatives to standard food safety protocols. However, these newly emerging mild technologies are generally less effective than traditional approaches and show to have greater potential when used in combination with other treatments. To explore the potentials of novel ‘hurdle approaches,’ additional studies are needed to provide a more comprehensive understanding of their action, in systems that can mimic the structural and biochemical composition of foods.            In this thesis a novel tri-phasic 3D food model system of tuneable properties was developed and fully characterised. Thereafter, a systematic assessment of the impact of fat concentration on different cutting-edge mild preservation approaches to control pathogenic bacteria took place.More specifically, structured complex food model systems were developed and used for fundamental microbiological studies of single- and co-cultures of foodborne bacteria, including L. monocytogenes, E. coli, L. lactis and P. aeruginosa. The macroscopic growth kinetics and microscopic spatial organisation was used to determine changes in their behaviour towards bacterial antagonistic mechanisms, natural antimicrobials (grape seed extract and nisin) and a non-thermal preservation treatment (cold atmospheric plasma).The findings of this work illustrated the importance of conducting microbiological studies in more realistic food model systems to be able to draw conclusions for the environment they mimic. Moreover, our data highlighted the promising potential of novel preservation techniques in enhancing food safety, with careful consideration of food structure, complexity, and environmental conditions.

description: In its momentous opinion about the Singapore free trade agreement, the ECJ seemed to have eliminated the option of ‘facultative’ EU-only agreements which do not embrace ISDS. It seems to me that this overlooks an important novelty of Opinion 2/15, which gave explicit judicial blessing to the option of ‘facultative’ EU-only agreements, although the Court hides the innovation behind an inconsistent use of the notion of ‘shared’ powers.

description: Bichelated neutral palladacycles (1–3), [Pd(L)Cl], were synthesized from reaction of the new potential tridentate (C,N,S) ligands, 2-thiobenzylazobenzene (L1), 4′-methyl-2-thiobenzylazobenzene (L2), and 4′-chloro-2-thiobenzylazobenzene (L3) with sodium tetrachloropalladate(II), Na2[PdCl4], in ethanol. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H NMR, UV–visible, and thermogravimetric analysis. The crystal structures of L2 and 1–3 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In 1–3, the geometry around palladium remains almost square planar, coordinated to carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur of the ligand forming a bichelated cyclopalladate complex. The C–H…Cl type intermolecular hydrogen bonds, weak π…π, C–H…π, and van der Waals interactions are believed to be the stabilizing forces for the crystal packing of these palladacycles.
