GIS for the Potential Application of Renewable Energy in Buildings towards Net Zero: A Perspective
Creators: name: Li, Yang

Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
Year: 2023

description: Environmental, economic, and social activities involve inherent spatial dimensions. The geospatial information system (GIS), a platform containing principles, methods, and tools to link, create, visualize, analyze, and model artificial activities and environment, provides the possibility to develop sustainability in the building sector. With globally political collaborations across governments, the demands to manage and visualize sustainable data (e.g., building energy and environment with geospatial reference) and implement more rigorous building modelling are increasing. A systematic mapping at multiple scales will help urban engineers, architectural engineers, policymakers, and energy planners identify emission hotspots, locate spatial resources, restructure district energy mix, and achieve net zero energy targets. To achieve net zero energy goals, it is crucial to minimize energy consumption, improve energy efficiency, and most importantly, apply renewable energy in buildings. However, these processes imply many aspects and challenges, regarding e.g., data availability, scalability, integrability, and a lack of clear and applicable frameworks. In this conceptional perspective paper, we aim to explore the potential of applying and installing renewable energy in net zero energy buildings using the GIS. More specifically, the described virtual framework will effectively support policy- and decision-makers in optimizing the energy structure, reducing building emissions, and applying renewable energy technologies. We also present challenges, limitations, and future directions for real practice.

description: According to European legislation, an environmental risk assessment (ERA) of veterinary medicinal products (VMPs) for dung fauna is required in the authorization process, if the substance acts as a parasiticide for the treatment of pasture animals. In the past, however, the demonstration of the environmental safety of those VMPs for dung fauna was strongly hampered by the fact that no standardized tests were available. Therefore, starting with recommendations from the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) advisory group, dung organism toxicity test standardization (DOTTS) test systems for phase II Tier A standardized tests on the mortality of dung fly and dung beetle larvae were developed and published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2008 and 2010. If a risk is identified for dung organisms in phase II Tier A of the ERA process, further tests are required for Tier B. So far, however, no advice is given for such studies in the existing guidelines. Therefore, 4 workshops took place between 2007 and 2009 with international dung fauna experts (Aveiro-Group) to find an appropriate test strategy for dung fauna organisms beyond Tier A mortality testing. For the first time, 2 different Tier B extended laboratory test approaches for dung beetles and test strategies for scenarios beyond Tier B are described in more detail. In case the risk assessment is still not clear, further options for Tier C (i.e., field studies) or Tier D (modeling) are briefly presented. Finally, the role of uncertainty and variability of test results is discussed, including recommendations for assessment factors for the different tiers to be used when assessing the risk of VMPs on dung organisms. The approach, especially the test strategy, will help industry, consultants, and assessors appropriately assess the environmental risk assessments during the authorization procedure of parasiticides.

description: Pioneer cemeteries are enduring, physical landscapes which display community
antiquity and cultural heritage. Their loss through deterioration and destructive practices
erases historical and archaeological fabric that cannot be reproduced. This thesis
examines the preservation of pioneer cemeteries in the Midwest. It asks three questions:
What are the activities groups undertake when preserving a pioneer cemetery? What
resources are accessible for groups to restore and maintain pioneer cemeteries? Does
Midwest state legislation assist or hinder pioneer cemeteries from abandonment and
destructive practices?
A brief glimpse of cemetery history and preservation in the United States
introduces the research. The discussion details a case study of five pioneer cemeteries in
differing Midwest states (Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska). Through
comparisons of abandonment and restorative activities, observations offer an
understanding of available resources and areas of impediment volunteers confront to
initiate and maintain pioneer cemeteries. The case study further evaluates each state’s
legislation and its assistance or hindrance to protect burial grounds as well as its
promotion of public awareness in regarding cemetery preservation.
In conclusion, I advocate that pioneer cemeteries in the Midwest require
numerous resources, particularly funding and educational programs, combined with
robust legislation to ensure their longevity. Preserving these cemeteries will ensure their
landscapes can be recognized as a historical commodity previously abandoned by their
descendants and forgotten by their communities.

description: If interpretation is to make connections between places, time, and
people then historic preservation interpreters must comprehensively tell
the story of places, events, objects, and ordinary and significant people
associated with noble and not so noble sides of history. Historic cultural
resources associated with uncomfortable truths are susceptible to
“obliteration” and subject to the same issues of change as other
resources. The passing of time and use, environmental conditions,
climate change, social attitudes, new scholarship, and information that
reveals hidden truths and secrets create the need to re-interpret. One of
the most divisive if not the most divisive event in American history,
chattel slavery, has to be re-presented with “contextualized” narrative
that recognizes “particular” details of both the celebrated hero and
enslaved people. This evaluation of how the lives of enslaved Africans
and African Americans are being re-interpreted at eight colonial to
antebellum period plantations - five National Park Service units and
three private entities - models how perceived changes in the public
memory of slavery is currently being presented.
The result of the critical analysis of conservation treatments,
narrative language, “bound and unbound,” and use of cultural arts and
technology indicate to present relevant 21st Century presentations
reflective of multiple social significances requires an interpretive-centered
field of historic preservation. Using a theory-to-practice approach,
guidelines for comprehensive presentations at plantations move
interpretation to the center of historic preservation, incorporating the
principle of change into the language of the instruments and practices of
the field, making it replicable for other topics.

description: Initially attacking this paper left me with a number of unanswered questions. The process by which people both assume and are assigned their status in life is unthinkably complex, and I was at a loss in terms of how to sum up the various systems of stratification and social influences in a way that made all this uneven distribution of wealth and resources make sense. Out of my own curiosity, I had been reading extensively about Werner Heisenberg's work at the Niels Bohr Institute, and was fascinated by the notion that the very act of human observation could influence the behavior of quantum particles. I began to see a connection between the way in which people move up and down the social ladder and the way in which quantum particles move through theoretical space. Both seem to oscillate at random; both are actually governed by the presumably innocuous force of observation. This similarity provided me the perfect metaphor with which to frame my discussion, and explain that social mobility is not entirely meritocratic, nor is it a complete roulette wheel. It is governed by the interaction of observational points of view from multiple individuals.

How and Under What Circumstances Can the Goals of Historic Preservation and Equitable Access be Met Through the Application of Universal Design and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards?

description: Universal Design is a concept that has more recently been used in the built environment, even though its evolution goes back to the 1950s. Universal Design (UD) builds on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a federal civil rights law that mandates accessibility for people with disabilities. UD however, is not a mandate. UD is a concept that advocates design which is usable for all people, not only people with disabilities.This treatise examines the use of Universal Design in case studies of the rehabilitation of historic buildings that have or have not used Universal Design as a solution for access. Through the discussion and analysis of the case studies, this thesis research answers the question of how and under what circumstances can the goals of historic preservation and equitable access be met through the application of Universal Design and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards. The case studies are prefaced by discussion and analyses about Universal Design, which includes its history, principles, and goal. Federal laws are introduced and analyzed that pertain to accessibility and historic buildings. This analysis is followed by an explanation of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as well as the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards. The case studies build on these discussions and analyses to reach an answer to the thesis question regarding Universal Design and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards. My findings show that when rehabilitating a historic building, there are commonalities essential to successful solutions for access when applying Universal Design. These commonalities include: Usable space in or around a historic building, non-defining characteristics, and prior changes or alterations. These commonalities can be used to enhance the ADA standards by presenting opportunities for achieving greater access in historic buildings through the application of Universal Design. UD is a mindset. The time has come that Universal Design be applied to historic buildings.

description: The HIV/AIDS epidemic, one of the most pressing yet under-addressed issues of the twenty-first century, disproportionately affects those in situations of poverty and inequality. In selecting a research topic, I chose to integrate this facet of the epidemic with my ongoing interest in refugee issues and examine responses to risk behaviors in refugee camps in Sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, this paper focuses on the implementation of income generation projects, specifically microfinance initiatives, in refugee camps as a successful method of mitigating the susceptibility of these refugees to the spread of HIV/AIDS. I am grateful for the support and guidance of Professor Bess and my fellow Peace Studies students throughout the research and writing process.

description: Historic designation captures a judgment about the significance of historic places
and their components at a particular moment in time. The classification of resources
within a historic district as historically significant or insignificant, contributing or
noncontributing, is made at the time of designation on the basis of association with the
district's period of significance. Properties outside the period of significance receive a
lower level of protection, despite their location in protected historic places. They are
subject to alteration that destroys their integrity, as historic district regulations encourage
assimilation to the dominant styles of the period of significance. Resources that later
generations might come to appreciate as historically significant may, by reason of their
status as outliers in older historic settings, not survive intact long enough to receive
informed reevaluation. Such reassessment tends, in any case, to be a low priority in local
preservation programs.Communities have options for improving the prospects that out-of-period
properties will survive long enough to be reappraised for potential historic significance,
and that reappraisal will take place. Design guidelines and the terms of new designations
can be crafted in ways that recognize the integrity of the historic places as including
varied styles. Periodic reassessment of older judgments of historic significance can be
integrated into the preservation planning process. Creative application of newer concepts
in the preservation field, including flexibility in the National Register criteria, can help
built a public constituency for neglected out-of-period properties and thus motivate their
eventual reevaluation.

description: I wrote this paper as an exploration of the question, "where do we as individuals end, and the society that made us begin?" This question, in various forms, consistently nagged me throughout my last year at Goucher. Many times I found myself responding to different prompts and topics with answers that reached back to what was on my brain, always bringing it to the forefront. I was often taking issue when I heard people make claims that something abstract and natural - like "natural rights" or "human nature" - was responsible for enormous parts of our society - like the legal system, or the marketplace. I believed that it was people themselves who were responsible for these institutions. But I could not answer the rebuttal: "Didn't those same people come from their society?" So I wrote this people to work through that argument, trying to discover how we can be both a product of, and responsible for, the world we live in.

Reconciling the Concepts of Significance in American Historic Preservation
Creators: name: Pidgeon, Elizabeth A.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Historic preservation -- Theses

description: Historic preservation in the United States is facing new challenges. In the
beginning preservation philosophies and methods developed focused on addressing
resources with more clearly defined time frames. Preservation now deals with sites of
evolving contexts, layered physical development, and complex histories. The struggle to
quantify and define what we know by experience and correlate it to a historic resource is
becoming increasingly challenging. As preservation evolves to address a more complex
conceptualization of significance, the methods by which it is analyzed and supported
have developed demonstrated gaps in their ability to support that complexity. This thesis
asks: can we reconcile the disparity that has developed between our concept of
significance and the conceptual framework it operates in to meet these challenges?
To define and frame these challenges the treatise first considers the role
significance now plays measured against the backdrop of what was intended and what is
possible. Identifying known issues and debates frames the dialogue, establishes a
vocabulary for analysis, and outlines development of the concept and how it is
administrated. To understand the effect determination of significance has for a resource,
a review of journal articles and papers representing commentary on influences and factors
in American historic preservation is made, with discussion of the successes and failures
of its procedures. Finally case studies are presented highlighting aspects of significance
not addressed or well served by current practices, illustrating unresolved challenges to the
stewardship of our historic resources.
This thesis finds that while the definition of significance is still sound, there are
refinements in how it is supported that would improve our ability to manage historic
resources in the United States, primarily by augmenting and refining the language and
framework of the National Register to recognize experiential attributes as potentially
integral to the integrity of a historic resource; to guide management decisions without
specifying them; and to examine associated activities, cultural practices, and building
traditions and where appropriate facilitate their protection through recordation and, if
appropriate, by way of exception.

description: From the Faculty Nominator, Birthe Kjellerup: Randi Turner wrote "Yellow Fever" for Bio354 (Microbiology and Immunology). The assignment was to a review a human disease caused by a microorganism (bacteria, fungi or virus) or an important environmental problem caused (or solved) by microorganisms. Randi chose to focus on Yellow Fever, how the disease was first discovered and made its way from the Caribbean to the continental USA in the late 1600s. Yellow Fever is caused by a virus and it took the scientists a lot of effort and determination to identify the causative agent and the transmission routes in the population. The significant sacrifices made by the scientists including the ultimate one: using themselves as research objects made it clear that the disease was being transmitted by mosquitos. Randi chose a very exiting topic not only addressing how a specific disease has been perceived throughout time, its discovery and the current lack of an efficient vaccine. The paper raises questions related to the increasing number of eco-tourists traveling to areas, where Yellow Fever is common as well as the influence from the increasing temperatures due to Global Warming. Her paper truly gives us a new understanding and appreciation of viruses as disease causing agents and the continued importance of Yellow Fever due to increased travel and climate change.
description: Yellow fever is a hemorrhagic fever caused by the yellow fever virus, a positive-sense RNA virus belonging to the genus Flavivirus. The virus is transmitted through the bite of a mosquito, particularly A. aegypti, which reside largely in tropical cities of South America and Africa. Once the mosquito feeds on an infected person and becomes infective, it can transmit the virus for the remainder of its life and even pass it onto its larvae. Yellow fever originated in Africa, but was brought to the Americas during the Slave Trade. With no natural immunity in the American population, the virus ravaged the continents for many years. North America has not experienced an outbreak since 1905, but South America and Africa continue to have regular outbreaks despite widespread prevention and vaccination efforts. Written for Dr. Kjellerup's Microbiology and Immunology course, this review paper assembles from various source with special emphasis on the historical aspect taken from Irwin Sherman's 2007 book: Twelve Diseases that Changed Our World.

Preservation and Reuse of Abandoned Historic Railroad Tunnels in the United States

subject: Historic preservation -- Theses

description: It is without question that the expansion of railroads during the nineteenth century had a profound influence on the development of the United States. Thus, railroads have earned a prominent place in American history. As Americans, we value the preservation of surviving elements of railroad infrastructure as reminders of their role in the formation of our national heritage. Since the 1980s, however, many changes have occurred in the railroad industry that now threaten our ability to preserve significant railroad structures. Among those structures are historic railroad tunnels. This treatise evaluates how historic railroad tunnels in the United States can be rehabilitated, maintained, or reused, while simultaneously preserving their historic integrity. This evaluation shows that threats to the preservation of historic railroad tunnels result from a number of sources including federal guidance for tunnel rehabilitation and federal programs supporting high-speed rail, as well as the modernization of the freight rail industry and the adaptation of abandoned tunnels for alternative uses. Two case studies, the Crozet Blue Ridge Tunnel in Virginia and the Hoosac Tunnel in Massachusetts, demonstrate how the changing railroad industry poses threats to historic tunnels and how preservation needs are or are not considered. This analysis finds that, despite requirements to comply with Section 106, when railroads implement tunnel upgrades, preservation is often secondary to the economic needs of the railroad. To increase the level of consideration given to historic preservation, this treatise recommends increasing awareness of a tunnel’s significance within the local community. As historic preservation is, and has always been, primarily a grassroots effort, increasing local awareness of the historic value of a tunnel will help influence the manner in which the railroads implement tunnel upgrades. This treatise also recommends expanding federal programs that aid in railroad infrastructure upgrades to give railroads incentives to implement projects that are sensitive to historic preservation needs. This treatise also recommends revising the existing federal tunnel rehabilitation guidelines to be more compatible with the Secretary of the Interior’s standards for rehabilitation. Increasing public awareness of the value of historic railroad tunnels; creating additional opportunities for railroads to receive government support for projects sensitive to preservation needs; and revising federal tunnel rehabilitation guidance to include provisions specific to historic tunnels will help preserve, protect, and sustain these resources so they may continue to provide valuable insight into one of the most significant eras in the history of the United States.

description: This thesis research investigates how the public display of ruins affects their authenticity and integrity. People have long had a fascination with ruins and their ability to convey a sense of the past. For this reason, ruins are deemed worthy of preservation and placed on display for public enjoyment. However, in the process of public display, certain interventions to preserve ruins and make them safe and accessible to visitors may adversely affect the authenticity and integrity of the resources. Maintaining a high level of integrity and authenticity is valuable for the longevity of these resources and increases the public interest in them. Visitors enjoy knowing that ruins are original and authentic to the history that they convey.
My thesis question is: In the public display of ruins, how and in what ways is it possible to preserve and protect integrity and authenticity of the physical remains, both above and below ground? Numerous resources, including English Heritage, the National Park Service, and the UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage Convention were consulted for this thesis research and analysis. These and other sources of authoritative literature from heritage tourism, preservation, and conservation experts provide the methods and analysis for my research. Seven case studies of ruins in the Mid-Atlantic region are also presented. These examples demonstrate the various ways in which ruins are preserved and interpreted to the public. By analyzing these case studies and developing a rating system I was able to develop my findings and recommendations.
Primarily, the key to preserving authenticity and integrity in the public display of ruins is maintaining a balance between resource protection and visitor services. In the decision-making process, site managers must place emphasis upon the retention of authenticity and integrity. The value of the ruin’s authenticity and integrity must be acknowledged and understood as a quality that protects the overall significance of the historic site. Site management decisions based upon maintaining authenticity and integrity of the ruins will be successful in choosing appropriate treatment interventions and the placement of visitor services.

description: ROS-induced DNA damage is particularly detrimental in the context of cancers as the tumor microenvironment (TME) is often characterized by oxidative stress. Cells in the TME play a vital role in cancer pathogenesis, and by understanding the therapeutic strategies for cancer, ROS-induced damage can be mitigated to improve tumor prognosis. ROS can cause single-strand DNA breaks (SSBs) and double-strand breaks (DSBs); accumulating these breaks can lead to genomic instability and cancer progression. The study focuses on the pathway and effects of introducing DNA repair proteins (RAD51 in this study) via adenoviral vectors into the TME to reduce ROS-induced DNA damage. RAD51 is a repair protein involved with homologous recombination to anneal DSBs. Adenoviruses are double-stranded DNA viruses ubiquitous in common diseases like rhinitis; however, they are commonly used in clinical gene therapies. A gene therapy methodology that simulates adenoviral gene insertion without involving the actual virus focuses instead on engineered vectors designed for therapy. The DNA damage response efficacy can be measured by analyzing phosphorylated H2AX (γH2AX), a histone that regulates DNA damage response. γH2AX also plays a vital role in accumulating DNA repair proteins at the site of the break. During DSB induction, kinase enzymes phosphorylate many H2AX molecules that flank the break region–DSBs and γH2AX increase analogously. If future preclinical studies confirm the effectiveness of this research, it could lead to significant benefits for patients, such as reducing their resistance to radiotherapy.

description: Human biomonitoring (HBM) data in Europe are often fragmented and collected in different EU countries and sampling periods. Exposure levels for children and adult women in Europe were evaluated over time. For the period 2000-2010, literature and aggregated data were collected in a harmonized way across studies. Between 2011-2012, biobanked samples from the DEMOCOPHES project were used. For 2014-2021, HBM data were generated within the HBM4EU Aligned Studies. Time patterns on internal exposure were evaluated visually and statistically using the 50th and 90th percentiles (P50/P90) for phthalates/DINCH and organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs) in children (5-12 years), and cadmium, bisphenols and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in women (24-52 years). Restricted phthalate metabolites show decreasing patterns for children. Phthalate substitute, DINCH, shows a non-significant increasing pattern. For OPFRs, no trends were statistically significant. For women, BPA shows a clear decreasing pattern, while substitutes BPF and BPS show an increasing pattern coinciding with the BPA restrictions introduced. No clear patterns are observed for PAHs or cadmium. Although the causal relations were not studied as such, exposure levels to chemicals restricted at EU level visually decreased, while the levels for some of their substitutes increased. The results support policy efficacy monitoring and the policy-supportive role played by HBM. © 2023 by the authors

description: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) represents approximately 50% of all cardiovascular mortality in the United States. The majority of SCD occurs in individuals with structural heart disease; however, around 5% of individuals have no identifiable cause on autopsy. This proportion is even higher in those <40 years old, where SCD is particularly devastating. Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is often the terminal rhythm leading to SCD. Catheter ablation for VF has emerged as an effective tool to alter the natural history of this disease among high-risk individuals. Important advances have been made in the identification of several mechanisms involved in the initiation and maintenance of VF. Targeting the triggers of VF as well as the underlying substrate that perpetuates these lethal arrhythmias has the potential to eliminate further episodes. Although important gaps remain in our understanding of VF, catheter ablation has become an important option for individuals with refractory arrhythmias. This review outlines a contemporary approach to the mapping and ablation of VF in the structurally normal heart, specifically focusing on the following major conditions: idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, short-coupled ventricular fibrillation, and the J-wave syndromes—Brugada syndrome and early-repolarization syndrome.

description: Radon is a radioactive gas that potentially causes lung cancer after long-term exposure. This thesis investigated the confluent impact of geology, housing characteristics, and season on indoor radonand identified the significant factors associated with elevated radon levels in Atlanta metropolitan area, USA. Using the data obtained from the private vendor, Air Chek, this study identified hot spots of high radon levels. The hot spots were found in Douglas, Fulton, DeKalb, and Gwinnett. Through binary logistic regression analysis, this study identified that the granite and orthogneiss bedrock, the ranch-style house, the presence of a basement, and the test in cold seasons were more likely to report test results above 4.0 pCi/L, the action level of radon recommended by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This study may provide the decision-makers in local governments a valuable insight into establishing the radon policies for indoor radon testing and remediation to improve public health.
