Benefits of hierarchical predictions for digital soil mapping—An approach to map bimodal soil pH

description: Maps of soil pH are an important tool for making decisions in sustainable forest management. Accurate pH mapping, therefore, is crucial to support decisions by authorities or forest companies. Soil pH values typically exhibit a distinct distribution characterized by two frequently encountered pH ranges, wherein aluminium oxides (Al2O3) and carbonates (CaCO3) act as the primary buffer agents. Soil samples with moderately acid pH values (pH CaCl2 of 4.5-6) are less commonly observed due to their weaker buffering capacity. The different strength of buffer agents results in a distinct bimodal distribution of soil pH values with peaks at pH of around 4 and 7.5. Commonly used approaches for spatial mapping neglect this often observed characteristic of soil pH and predict unimodal distributions with too many moderately acid pH values. For ecological map applications this might result in misleading interpretations. This article presents a novel approach to produce pH maps that are able to reproduce pedogenic processes. The procedure is suitable for bimodal responses where the response distribution is naturally inherent and needs to be reproduced for the predictions. It is model-agnostic, namely independent from the used statistical prediction method. Calibration data is optimally split into two parts corresponding each to a data culmination, i.e. for soil pH values belonging to the ranges of the two principal buffer agents (Al2O3 and CaCO3). For each subset a separate model is then built. In addition, a binary model is fitted to assign every new prediction location a probability to belong either to Al2O3 or CaCO3 buffer range. Predictions are combined by weighted mean. Weights are derived from probabilities predicted by the binary model. Degree of smoothness is chosen by sigmoid transform which allows for optimal continuous transition of the pH values between Al2O3 and CaCO3 buffer ranges. For each location uncertainty distributions may be combined by using the same weights. We illustrated application of the new approach to a medium and strong bimodal distributed response (1) pH in 0–5 cm and (2) pH in 60–100 cm of forest soils in Switzerland (2 530 calibration sites). While model performance measured at 354 validation sites slightly dropped compared to a common modelling approach (drop of R2 of 0.02–0.03) distributional properties of the predictions are much more meaningful from a pedogenic point of view. We were able to demonstrate the benefits of considering specific distributional properties of responses within the prediction process and expanded model assessment by comparing observed and predicted distributions.

description: Despite their variability, Digital Health Apps (DHAs) typically share functionalities (i.e. core assets) and can thus be considered as a family of similar products with unique features adapted to specific use cases. Objective: We aim to identify and model reusable core assets to facilitate the development of a number of similar, but adapted DHAs in the context of an initial product line engineering approach. Methods: To identify core assets, we apply a systematic analysis of six exemplary state-of-the-art DHAs. In an iterative process, they were modeled in a feature model. Results: We identified 14 core assets of DHAs out of which six are mandatory (i.e. required by each DHA) and eight are optional core assets (i.e. required by most DHAs, depending on the app complexity). Conclusions: We found that DHAs share common functionalities that could contribute to a more efficient development of the DHA, especially in terms of time and cost savings.

description: Auf drei Schweinemastbetrieben mit Durchmast, Zweiphasen- oder Mehrphasen-Fütterung wurden Fütterungsmassnahmen untersucht, durch die der ernährungsphysiologische Wert des Fleisches verbessert und die Umweltbelastung verringert werden kann. Dazu wurden dem Futter organisch gebundenes Selen, Vitamin E und Leinsaat beigegeben und der Proteingehalt gesenkt. Als Kontrolle dienten Mastdurchgänge mit üblichem Mastfutter. Ein durchgängiger Einfluss der Futter auf die Tageszunahmen konnte nicht beobachtet werden. Mit den Versuchsfuttern stieg aber der Futterverbrauch an und die Futterverwertung verschlechterte sich überwiegend. Nur im Durchmastbetrieb verschlechterte sich die Schlachtkörperqualität: der Kotelettdurchmesser sank mit dem Versuchsfutter signifikant ab und die Speckauflage stieg signifikant an. Die Tiere in der Multiphasenfütterung (wöchentlich Absenkung von 155 auf 125g RP/kg) zeigten keinen verringerten Fleischanteil aber einen signifikant höheren intramuskulären Fettgehalt, was auf eine moderate Proteinunterversorgung hinweisen könnte. Die Proteineffizienz konnte durch die Proteinreduktion kaum gesteigert werden.

description: In den letzten Jahren ist die Nachfrage nach Fachkräften in der Sozialen Arbeit stetig gestiegen und die Gewinnung qualifizierter Fachkräfte zu einer der zentralen Herausforderungen für Organisationen des Sozialwesens geworden. Um den benötigten Nachwuchs erfolgreich rekrutieren zu können, sind sie gefordert, sich auf dem Arbeitsmarkt als attraktive Arbeitgeber zu positionieren. Ausgehend von dieser Herausforderung untersucht unsere Studie die Erwartungen von Studierenden der Sozialen Arbeit an ihre zukünftigen Arbeitgeber sowie die wahrgenommene Attraktivität der Arbeitsfelder Kindes- und Erwachsenenschutz, Schulsozialarbeit, offene Kinder- und Jugendarbeit, Sozialhilfe und Gemeinwesenarbeit. Primäres Ziel des Forschungsprojekts ist es zu erklären, wie die unterschiedlichen Arbeitsfeldpräferenzen mit den unterschiedlichen Erfahrungen, Erwartungen und Zielen der Studierenden zusammenhängen. Dafür stützen wir uns auf Theorien des Person-Organization Fit und Befragungsdaten von 224 Studierenden einer Schweizer Fachhochschule, die zum Erhebungszeitpunkt kurz vor ihrer Diplomierung standen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Studienabgänger*innen im Durchschnitt eine hohe intrinsische Arbeitsmotivation und einen starken Wunsch nach Entwicklung aufweisen. Arbeitsplatzsicherheit und Work-Life Balance werden als eher wichtig erachtet, während eine Erfolgs- und Leistungsorientierung weniger stark ausgeprägt ist. Allerdings verfügen die Studierenden über verschiedene Motivationsprofile, was die unterschiedlich wahrgenommene Attraktivität der untersuchten Arbeitsfelder miterklärt und das Bewerbungsverhalten von Studienabgänger*innen nachweislich beeinflusst. Die Implikationen dieser Ergebnisse für die Rekrutierung des Nachwuchses in verschiedenen Feldern der Sozialen Arbeit werden am Schluss des Beitrags diskutiert.

Adsorption is a promising approach with a facile process, adaptability for the broad concentration of feed water, and high selectivity. However, the adsorption method faces challenges in synthesizing high-performance sorbents and regenerating adsorbents effectively. FeOOH is an environmentally friendly sorbent with low-cost production on a large scale. Nevertheless, the selectivity behavior and regeneration of FeOOH are seldom studied. Therefore, we investigated the selectivity of FeOOH in a mixed solution of Co2+, Ni2+, and Pb2+ and proposed to enhance the capacity of FeOOH and regenerate it by using external charges. Without charge, the FeOOH electrode shows a Pb2+ uptake capacity of 20 mg/g. After applying a voltage of −0.2/+0.8 V, the uptake capacity increases to a maximum of 42 mg/g and the desorption ratio is 70%–80%. In 35 cycles, FeOOH shows a superior selectivity towards Pb2+ compared with Co2+ and Ni2+, with a purity of 97% ± 3% in the extracts. The high selectivity is attributed to the lower activation energy for Pb2+ sorption. The capacity retentions at the 5th and the 35th cycles are ca. 80% and ca. 50%, respectively, comparable to the chemical regeneration method. With industrially exhausted granular ferric hydroxide as the electrode material, the system exhibits a Pb2+ uptake capacity of 37.4 mg/g with high selectivity. Our work demonstrates the feasibility of regenerating FeOOH by charge and provides a new approach for recycling and upcycling FeOOH sorbent. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

description: Ionic liquids are modern materials with a broad range of applications, including electrochemical devices, the exploitation of sustainable resources and chemical processing. Expanding the chemical space to include novel ion classes allows for the elucidation of novel structure-property relationships and fine tuning for specific applications. We prepared a set of ionic liquids based on the sparsely investigated pentamethyl guanidinium cation with a 2-ethoxy-ethyl side chain in combination with a series of frequently used anions. The resulting properties are compared to a cation with a pentyl side chain lacking ether functionalization. We measured the thermal transitions and transport properties to estimate the performance and trends of this cation class. The samples with imide-type anions form liquids at ambient temperature, and show good transport properties, comparable to imidazolium or ammonium ionic liquids. Despite the dynamics being significantly accelerated, ether functionalization of the cation favors the formation of crystalline solids. Single crystal structure analysis, ab initio calculations and variable temperature nuclear magnetic resonance measurements (VT-NMR) revealed that cation conformations for the ether- and alkyl-chain-substituted are different in both the solid and liquid states. While ether containing cations adopt compact, curled structures, those with pentyl side chains are linear. The Eyring plot revealed that the curled conformation is accompanied by a higher activation energy for rotation around the carbon-nitrogen bonds, due to the coordination of the ether chain as observed by VT-NMR.

description: High-performance electrochemical applications have expedited the research in high-power devices. As such, supercapacitors, including electrical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) and pseudocapacitors, have gained significant attention due to their high power density, long cycle life, and fast charging capabilities. Yet, no device lasts forever. It is essential to understand the mechanisms behind performance degradation and aging so that these bottlenecks can be addressed and tailored solutions can be developed. Herein, the factors contributing to the aging and degradation of supercapacitors, including electrode materials, electrolytes, and other aspects of the system, such as pore blocking, electrode compositions, functional groups, and corrosion of current collectors are examined. The monitoring and characterizing of the performance degradation of supercapacitors, including electrochemical methods, in situ, and ex situ techniques are explored. In addition, the degradation mechanisms of different types of electrolytes and electrode materials and the effects of aging from an industrial application standpoint are analyzed. Next, how electrode degradations and electrolyte decompositions can lead to failure, and pore blocking, electrode composition, and other factors that affect the device's lifespan are examined. Finally, the future directions and challenges for reducing supercapacitors' performance degradation, including developing new materials and methods for characterizing and monitoring the devices are summarized.

description: Herein, we report the synthesis of TiO2–SnO2–C/carbide hybrid electrode materials for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) via two different methods of controlled oxidation of layered Ti2SnC. The material was partially oxidized in an open-air furnace (OAF) or using a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) approach to obtain the desired TiO2–SnO2–C/carbide hybrid material; the carbide phase encompassed both residual Ti2SnC and TiC as a reaction product. We tested the oxidized materials as an anode in a half cell to investigate their electrochemical performance in LIBs. Analysis of the various oxidation conditions indicated the highest initial lithiation capacity of 838 mAh/g at 100 mA/g for the sample oxidized in the OAF at 700°C for 1 h. Still, the delithiation capacity dropped to 427 mAh/g and faded over cycling. Long-term cycling demonstrated that the RTA sample treated at 800°C for 30 s was the most efficient, as it demonstrated a reversible capacity of around 270 mAh/g after 150 cycles, as well as a specific capacity of about 150 mAh/g under high cycling rate (2000 mA/g). Given the materials’ promising performance, this processing method could likely be applied to many other members of the MAX family, with a wide range of energy storage applications.

description: Impregnation of dry wood with pure lactic acid oligomers (OLAs) followed by heat treatment confers promising properties to wood because of OLA’s good diffusion, in-situ polymerization and persistence in cell walls. Treatment provides drastic reduction of the equilibrium moisture content, high dimensional stability and good durability. The presence of water during treatment has been evaluated. Curing of OLA impregnated dry wood in humid atmosphere leads to a strong and global degradation of the material. OLA treatment of wet wood only impacts the water leaching rate negatively. Treatment of dry wood with OLA diluted in water additionally decreases the biological resistance and is not efficient for decreasing hygroscopicity. Treatment of dry wood with lactic acid solution leads to a lower polymerization level but confers good properties.

description: The cubic Laves-phase aluminides REAl2 with RE = Sc, Y, La, Yb and Lu were prepared from the elements by arc-melting or using refractory metal ampoules and induction heating. They all crystallize in the cubic crystal system with space group Fd3̄m and adopt the MgCu2 type structure. The title compounds were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and spectroscopically investigated using Raman and 27Al and in the case of ScAl2 by 45Sc solid-state MAS NMR. In both, the Raman and NMR spectra, the aluminides exhibit only one signal due to the crystal structure. DFT calculations were used to calculate Bader charges illustrating the charge transfer in these compounds along with NMR parameters and densities of states. Finally, the bonding situation was assessed by means of ELF calculations rendering these compounds aluminides with positively charged REδ+ cations embedded in an [Al2]δ− polyanion.

description: In the public sector, big data holds many promises for improving policy outcomes in terms of service delivery and decision-making and is starting to gain increased attention by governments. Cities are collecting large amounts of data from traditional sources such as registries and surveys and from nontraditional sources such as the Internet of Things, and are considered an important field of experimentation to generate public value with big data. The establishment of a city data infrastructure can drive such a development. This paper describes two key challenges for such an infrastructure: platform federation and data quality, and how these challenges are addressed in the ongoing research project CPaaS.io.

description: Surface-grafted polymers can reduce friction between solids in liquids by compensating the normal load with osmotic pressure, but they can also contribute to friction when fluctuating polymers entangle with the sliding counter face. We have measured forces acting on a single fluctuating double-stranded DNA polymer, which is attached to the tip of an atomic force microscope and interacts intermittently with nanometer-scale methylated pores of a self-assembled polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) membrane. Rare binding of the polymer into the pores is followed by a stretching of the polymer between the laterally moving tip and the surface and by a force-induced detachment. We present results for the velocity dependence of detachment forces and of attachment frequency and discuss them in terms of rare excursions of the polymer beyond its equilibrium configuration.

description: The effect of live high-train low on hemoglobin mass (Hbmass) and red cell volume (RCV) in elite endurance athletes is still controversial. We expected that Hb(mass) and RCV would increase, when using a presumably adequate hypoxic dose. An altitude group (AG) of 10 Swiss national team orienteers (5 men and 5 women) lived at 2,500 m (18 h per day) and trained at 1,800 and 1,000 m above sea level for 24 days. Before and after altitude, Hbmass, RCV (carbon monoxide rebreathing method), blood, iron, and performance parameters were determined. Seven Swiss national team cross-country skiers (3 men and 4 women) served as "sea level" (500-1,600 m) control group (CG) for the changes in Hbmass and RCV. The AG increased Hbmass (805+/-209 vs. 848+/-225 g; P<0.01) and RCV (2,353+/-611 vs. 2,470+/-653 ml; P<0.01), whereas there was no change for the CG (Hbmass: 849+/-197 vs. 858+/-205 g; RCV: 2,373+/-536 vs. 2,387+/-551 ml). Serum erythropoietin (P<0.001), reticulocytes (P<0.001), transferrin (P<0.001), soluble transferrin receptor (P<0.05), and hematocrit (P<0.01) increased, whereas ferritin (P<0.05) decreased in the AG. These changes were associated with an increased maximal oxygen uptake (3,515+/-837 vs. 3,660+/-770 ml/min; P<0.05) and improved 5,000-m running times (1,098+/-104 vs. 1,080+/-98 s; P<0.01) from pre- to postaltitude. Living at 2,500 m and training at lower altitudes for 24 days increases Hbmass and RCV. These changes may contribute to enhance performance of elite endurance athletes.
