description: Hydrogen (H2) has been explored and developed as one of the most promising sustainable energy carriers. However, the current large-scale H2 production, i.e., steam reforming, is inefficient and unsustainable due to the utilization of fossil fuels, low H2 gas purity, high energy consumption and high CO2 emission. Therefore, efficient and sustainable H2 production and conversion technologies are thus indispensable for the clean H2 cycle. Emerging electrochemical technologies, including water electrolysis and fuel cells, can be applied for H2 production and utilization, and four reactions are involved in the reversible conversion between chemical energy and electrical energy, namely, oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR). To facilitate the essential chemical reactions in high efficiency and selectivity, the use of efficient electrocatalysts with low overpotential and satisfactory cost-effectiveness is necessary. Nowadays, electrocatalysts based on platinum (Pt), ruthenium (Ru) or iridium (Ir) have been the benchmark materials for OER, HER, ORR and HOR in electrolyzers and fuel cells, but the scarcity and high price have constrained their large-scale applications. Moreover, compared with 2-electron HER and HOR reactions, a larger overpotential is to be overcome to achieve the same reaction rate for OER and ORR, which involve a 4-electron transfer. Overall, rational design and development of efficient electrocatalysts for OER and ORR are vital to improving the efficiency of H2 technology. The thesis, therefore, aims to develop efficient electrocatalysts towards ORR and OER by (1) improving the catalytic efficiency of noble-metal-based catalysts and (2) exploring cost-effective alternatives for noble-metal-based catalysts.

description: We revisit the "second parameter" pair of globular clusters NGC 288/NGC 362 on the basis of theoretical models for red giant branch (RGB) and horizontal branch (HB) stars. The results of the most extensive set of RGB/HB simulations computed so far for these clusters are presented for two different metallicities. Using several different analytical mass loss formulae for RGB stars, we derive relative "HB morphology ages." We compare them with the relative main-sequence turnoff ages derived by application of the "bridge test" by Bellazzini et al. (2001), who found that NGC 288 is 2+/-1 Gyr older than NGC 362. We find that adoption of a higher metallicity ([Fe/H] ~ -1.2), as favored by the Carretta & Gratton metallicity scale, makes age a much more plausible second parameter candidate for this pair than is the case when a lower metallicity ([Fe/H] ~ -1.5), closer to the Zinn & West scale, is adopted. However, while the different HB morphology of these two clusters can be reproduced by canonical HB models with [Fe/H] ~ -1.2 and an age difference of 2 Gyr, this explanation is not without difficulty. In particular, we confirm previous suggestions that canonical models are unable to reproduce the detailed HB morphology of NGC 288 at its red end, for as yet unknown reasons. Finally, we show that the mass dispersion on the HB of NGC 362 is substantially larger than for NGC 288, and suggest that there is a correlation between the mass dispersion on the HB phase and the central density of globular clusters. This is presumably related to the way environmental effects affect RGB mass loss. [Abridged]

description: We proposed an effective acoustic abatement solution comprised of periodic resonators and multi-panel structures with porous lining, which incorporates the wideband capability of porous materials and the low-frequency advantage of locally resonant structures together. Theoretical model and numerical implementation are developed and validated. Two-dimensional poroelastic field expressions are used and resonator forces are incorporated. The results agree well with those reported in the literature and the results obtained from the finite element method. It turns out that sound insulation concerning both the amplitude and tuning bandwidth can be achieved effectively using porous additions and locally-resonant designs. This study presents a promising and practical alternative for wideband acoustic modulation.

description: Argus exploits a Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) framework to create a 3D mapping of the disaster scene using agents present around the incident zone to facilitate the rescue operations. The agents can be both human bystanders at the disaster scene as well as drones or robots that can assist the humans. The agents are involved in capturing the images of the scene using their smartphones (or on-board cameras in case of drones) as directed by the MARL algorithm. These images are used to build real time a 3D map of the disaster scene. Via both simulations and real experiments, an evaluation of the framework in terms of effectiveness in tracking random dynamicity of the environment is presented.

description: Based on updated nonlinear, convective pulsation models computed for several values of stellar mass, luminosity and metallicity, theoretical constraints on the K-band Period-Luminosity (PLK) relation of RR Lyrae stars are presented. We show that for each given metal content the predicted PLK is marginally dependent on uncertainties of the stellar mass and/or luminosity. Then, by considering the RR Lyrae masses suggested by evolutionary computations for the various metallicities, we obtain that the predicted infrared magnitude M_K over the range 0.0001< Z <0.02 is given by the relation MK=0.568-2.071logP+0.087logZ-0.778logL/Lo, with a rms scatter of 0.032 mag. Therefore, by allowing the luminosities of RR Lyrae stars to vary within the range covered by current evolutionary predictions for metal-deficient (0.0001< Z <0.006) horizontal branch models, we eventually find that the infrared Period-Luminosity- Metallicity (PLZK) relation is MK=0.139-2.071(logP+0.30)+0.167logZ, with a total intrinsic dispersion of 0.037 mag. As a consequence, the use of such a PLZK relation should constrain within +-0.04 mag the infrared distance modulus of field and cluster RR Lyrae variables, provided that accurate observations and reliable estimates of the metal content are available. Moreover, we show that the combination of K and V measurements can supply independent information on the average luminosity of RR Lyrae stars, thus yielding tight constraints on the input physics of stellar evolution computations. Finally, for globular clusters with a sizable sample of first overtone variables, the reddening can be estimated by using the PLZK relation together with the predicted MV-logP relation at the blue edge of the instability strip (Caputo et al. 2000).

For the five new complexes, the coordination numbers eight or nine are found for the central metal ion. The compounds were fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and ESI mass spectrometry. In addition, compound 1 was studied by UV/Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The X-ray dif-fraction analyses revealed that the anionic complexes consist of a lanthanide or yttrium core bridged through oxalato li-gands to four octahedral osmium-nitrosyl moieties.

description: Many food retailers offer private-label products because of the strategic benefits they provide. Growing private-label sales could be advantageous for both retailers and private-label manufacturers. Conventional wisdom leads us to believe it would be ineffective to use traditional market segmentation and targeting to grow private-label sales because socio-demographics are not strongly linked with private-label attitudes or purchases. However, many studies found that perceived risks are associated with private-label attitudes and purchases. This study uses a survey to identify individuals who perceive there to be significant risks with private-label purchases or use. The profile of these private-label avoiders could provide retailers and private-label manufacturers with segmentation and targeting information and help them grow their businesses.

description: We present a study of the abundances and physical conditions in the interstellar gas toward the heavily reddened star HD 192639 [E_(B-V) = 0.64], based on analysis of FUSE and HST/STIS spectra covering the range from 912 to 1361 A. This work constitutes a survey of the analyses that can be performed to study the interstellar gas when combining data from different instruments. Low-velocity (-18 to -8 km/s) components are seen primarily for various neutral and singly ionized species such as C I, O I, S I, Mg II, Cl I, Cl II, Mn II, Fe II and Cu II. Numerous lines of H2 are present in the FUSE spectra, with a kinetic temperature for the lowest rotational levels T_(01) = (90 +/- 10) K. Analysis of the C I fine-structure excitation implies an average local density of hydrogen n_H = (16 +/- 3) cm^-3. The average electron density, derived from five neutral/first ion pairs under the assumption of photoionization equilibrium, is n_e = (0.11 +/- 0.02) cm^-3. The relatively complex component structure seen in high-resolution spectra of K I and Na I, the relatively low average density, and the measured depletions all suggest that the line of sight contains a number of diffuse clouds, rather than a single dense, translucent cloud. Comparisons of the fractions of Cl in Cl I and of hydrogen in molecular form suggest a higher molecular fraction, in the region(s) where H2 is present, than that derived considering the average line of sight. In general, such comparisons may allow the identification and characterization of translucent portions of such complex lines of sight. The combined data also show high-velocity components near -80 km/s for various species which appear to be predominantly ionized, and may be due to a radiative shock. A brief overview of the conditions in this gas will be given.

title: Towards disaster resilient hospitals: Investigating perspectives and opportunities for empowering healthcare workers and leaders

Subjects: subject: hospitals

description: Hospital functions are increasingly vulnerable to disasters that adversely impact resources and demands, affecting healthcare worker wellness and performance and hindering overall hospital functionality and safety. This is a global phenomenon, with pandemics, wars, terrorism and natural events such as earthquakes, cyclones and flooding continuing to threaten people and infrastructure in many parts of the world. The impacts of these events are being exacerbated by climate change, through extreme weather conditions and intensified and more frequent natural disasters. It is widely understood that hospitals must improve their resilience to disasters, to ensure business continuity in these changing circumstances. However, there is a lack of guidance on how hospital decision makers, leaders and mangers can enhance such resilience. This research focused on healthcare workers (HCWs), in particular the hospital leaders and decision-makers who are at the centre of hospitals, to investigate how Healthcare workers can be supported through improving hospital preparedness, response, recovery, and regeneration, i.e., 'hospital disaster resilience' or 'disaster-resilient hospitals' (DRHs). This research presents the findings, that can support hospitals in building their organisational resilience to disasters, with a number of supporting tools developed from the research findings - for decision support, organisational learning, and staff empowerment. The question driving this research is, 'How can hospital leaders and decision-makers enhance hospital resilience for healthcare workers in disasters?' The research examined various conceptual and theoretical frameworks that influence hospital disaster resilience, including Transformational Leadership, 'Resilience Engineering'(RE), Total Quality Management 'Deming cycle', 'Resilience Framework for Public Health Emergency Preparedness' (RFPHEP), the Disaster Management 'Plan-Prepare-Respond-Recover' (PPRR) approach, 'Hospital Safety index' (HSI), and 'Pan America Health Organisation' (PAHO) elements. The research built on these frameworks, synthesising existing knowledge regarding disruption and key factors impacting hospital disaster resilience. [...]

description: Biofuel policies in the US and Brazil can cause two-way ethanol trade, in which the countries export and import with each other simultaneously. A structural economic model and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission calculations are used to assess the interactions of biofuel policies and markets of these two countries. Results show that, at least under certain conditions, ethanol and feedstock prices decrease under a “No RFS” scenario in the U.S., while GHG emissions rise. If the RFS is maintained but Brazil allows domestic gasoline price to rise to reflect global petroleum prices, then ethanol and feedstock prices increase and GHG savings decrease as the use of anhydrous ethanol declines. We find that, at least under some conditions, two-way ethanol trade can have important emission impacts.

description: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) colonisation in pregnant women poses a risk of transmission to infants during childbirth, leading to invasive diseases. GBS or Streptococcus agalactiae glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), encoded by gapC, is a glycolytic enzyme associated with virulence and immune-mediated protection. However, the role of GAPDH in bacterial phagocytosis and colonisation of the female reproductive tract, a central host niche, is unknown. We generated an S. agalactiae mutant that over-expresses GAPDH (874391p gapC) from gapC using a constitutively active promoter and analysed the mutant in murine macrophage antibiotic protection assays and in virulence assays in vivo, using a colonisation model that is based on experimental infection of the reproductive tract in female mice. Over-expression of GAPDH in GBS did not significantly affect measures of phagocytic uptake compared to an empty vector control. In contrast, 874391pgapC showed a small but statistically significant attenuation for persistence in the reproductive tract of female mice during the chronic phase of infection (10-28 days post-inoculation) relative to the vector control. We conclude that GBS GAPDH elicits the production of multiple cytokines from human cells, and over-expression of GAPDH renders the bacterium more susceptible to host clearance in the female reproductive tract.

description: We prove the following results on flag triangulations of 2- and 3-manifolds. In dimension 2, we prove that the vertex-minimal flag triangulations of $\mathbb{R} P^2$ and $\mathbb{S}^1\times \mathbb{S}^1$ have 11 and 12 vertices, respectively. In general, we show that $8+3k$ (resp. $8+4k$) vertices suffice to obtain a flag triangulation of the connected sum of $k$ copies of $\mathbb{R} P^2$ (resp. $\mathbb{S}^1\times \mathbb{S}^1$). In dimension 3, we describe an algorithm based on the Lutz-Nevo theorem which provides supporting computational evidence for the following generalization of the Charney-Davis conjecture: for any flag 3-manifold, $γ_2:=f_1-5f_0+16\geq 16 β_1$, where $f_i$ is the number of $i$-dimensional faces and $β_1$ is the first Betti number over a field. The conjecture is tight in the sense that for any value of $β_1$, there exists a flag 3-manifold for which the equality holds.

description: Clarity of, and understanding of the key issues relating to the reconciliation of economic growth, equity, and environmental sustainability dimensions of tropical agriculture development are necessary for the mounting of effective development strategies for the twenty first century. It is argued that conceptual definitions and elaborations are key components of productive dialogue on the issues, and have attempted to facilitate this dialogue by developing a reconciliation framework embedded in certain key concepts. The reconciliation framework consisted of the following processes: (1) development and refinement of key concepts, (2) articulation of the nature of, and functional roles of key concepts within the reconciliation framework and (3) development of the essential arguments in a structured form of analysis. The conclusion reached is that fruitful discussions on the reconciliation issues must at a minimum, recognize that outcomes might vary, depending on: (1) the type of tropical agriculture systems, as defined by interactions between the characteristics of agro-ecological assets and the characteristics of socio-technical environments, and (2) the time period scenario used for the analysis, with respect to the location of the tropical agriculture systems below or at the limits of their agro-ecological sustai~ty capacity. Tropical agriculture systems that have not reached their agro-ecological sustamability limits, faces growth, equity, and environmental reconciliation issues that must be addressed within the context of complementarity between resource use and improved standard-of-living, given certain constraints. Tropical agriculture systems that have reached their agro-ecological sustainability limits, faces growth, equity, and environmental reconciliation issues that must be addressed within the context of trade-offs between improved standard-of-living and resource use, given certain constraints.

description: We have observed the linear polarization of 450 micron continuum emission from the Galactic center, using a new polarimetric detector system that is operated on a 2 m telescope at the South Pole. The resulting polarization map extends ~ 170 pc along the Galactic plane and ~ 30 pc in Galactic latitude, and thus covers a significant fraction of the central molecular zone. Our map shows that this region is permeated by large-scale toroidal magnetic fields. We consider our results together with radio observations that show evidence for poloidal fields in the Galactic center, and with Faraday rotation observations. We compare all of these observations with the predictions of a magnetodynamic model for the Galactic center that was proposed in order to explain the Galactic Center Radio Lobe as a magnetically driven gas outflow. We conclude that the observations are basically consistent with the model.

Hexatic Undulations in Curved Geometries

description: We discuss the influence of two-dimensional hexatic order on capillary waves and undulation modes in spherical and cylindrical geometries. In planar geometries, extended bond-orientational order has only a minor effect on the fluctuations of liquid surfaces or lipid bilayers. However, in curved geometries, the long-wavelength spectrum of these ripples is altered. We calculate this frequency shift and discuss applications to spherical vesicles, liquid metal droplets, bubbles and cylindrical jets coated with surface-active molecules, and to multielectron bubbles in liquid helium at low temperatures. Hexatic order also leads to a shift in the threshold for the fission instability of charged droplets and bubbles, and for the Plateau-Rayleigh instability of liquid jets.

description: We prove several theorems concerning Tutte polynomials $T(G,x,y)$ for recursive families of graphs. In addition to its interest in mathematics, the Tutte polynomial is equivalent to an important function in statistical physics, the Potts model partition function of the $q$-state Potts model, $Z(G,q,v)$, where $v$ is a temperature-dependent variable. We determine the structure of the Tutte polynomial for a cyclic clan graph $G[(K_r)_m,L=jn]$ comprised of a chain of $m$ copies of the complete graph $K_r$ such that the linkage $L$ between each successive pair of $K_r$'s is a join $jn$, and $r$ and $m$ are arbitrary. The explicit calculation of the case $r=3$ (for arbitrary $m$) is presented. The continuous accumulation set of the zeros of $Z$ in the limit $m \to \infty$ is considered. Further, we present calculations of two special cases of Tutte polynomials, namely, flow and reliability polynomials, for cyclic clan graphs and discuss the respective continuous accumulation sets of their zeros in the limit $m \to \infty$. Special valuations of Tutte polynomials give enumerations of spanning trees and acyclic orientations. Two theorems are presented that determine the number of spanning trees on $G[(K_r)_m,jn]$ and $G[(K_r)_m,id]$, where $L=id$ means that the identity linkage. We report calculations of the number of acyclic orientations for strips of the square lattice and use these to obtain an improved lower bound on the exponential growth rate of the number of these acyclic orientations.

description: The main characteristics of the sugar industries in Cuba and Florida are analyzed for the period 1980-93. In the case of Cuba, the 1990-93 period deserves separate consideration because of the changes taking place in the Cuban economy after 1989. The issue of competition and complementarity between the industries in both countries is addressed through the analysis of the problem posed by the potential restoration of part of the former U.S. Cuban sugar quota, and the current situation in world sugar markets.
The spectral energy distribution of Centaurus A (NGC 5128) - A summary of all observations including all GCRO results -
Creators: name: Steinle, Helmut
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Due to its proximity and its importance for the understanding of active galaxies and their active nuclei (AGN), Centaurus A has been observed frequently within the last 150 years in all accessible wavelength bands. Thus a wealth of data exists which has been compiled into the "NASA Extragalactic Database" (NED). Missing from this compilation are to date almost completely the results of recent high energy observations as e.g. obtained by the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO). A combination of those recent high energy results with all other observations in the NED enables us for the first time to establish the important spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of this closest AGN in different emission states. The combined data have been analyzed to produce SEDs which are from contemporaneous data and in addition an attempt was made to derive SEDs which are spatially resolved, i.e. SEDs from observations which can resolve nucleus and jet in Cen A are treated separately.

description: ALMA measurements for 93 $Herschel$-selected galaxies at $1.1 \leqslant z \leqslant 1.7$ in COSMOS reveal a sizable ($>29$\%) population with compact star formation (SF) sizes, lying on average $> \times 3.6$ below the optical stellar mass ($M_{\star}$)-size relation of disks. This sample widely spans the star-forming Main Sequence (MS), having $10^{8} \leqslant M_{\star} \leqslant 10^{11.5} \ M_{\odot}$ and $20 \leqslant SFR \leqslant 680 \ M_{\odot} \rm yr^{-1}$. The 32 size measurements and 61 upper limits are measured on ALMA images that combine observations of CO(5-4), CO(4-3), CO(2-1) and $λ_{\rm obs} \sim 1.1-1.3 \ \rm mm$ continuum, all tracing the star-forming molecular gas. These compact galaxies have instead normally extended $K_{band}$ sizes, suggesting strong specific $SFR$ gradients. Compact galaxies comprise the $50\pm18 \%$ of MS galaxies at $M_{\star} > 10^{11} M_{\odot}$. This is not expected in standard bi-modal scenarios where MS galaxies are mostly steadily-growing extended disks. We suggest that compact MS objects are early post-starburst galaxies in which the merger-driven boost of SF has subsided. They retain their compact SF size until either further gas accretion restores pre-merger galaxy-wide SF, or until becoming quenched. The fraction of merger-affected SF inside the MS seems thus larger than anticipated and might reach $\sim 50$\% at the highest $M_{\star}$. The presence of large galaxies above the MS demonstrates an overall poor correlation between galaxy SF size and specific $SFR$.
