description: An holographic microscopy reconstruction method compatible with high numerical aperture microscope objective (MO) up to NA=1.4 is proposed. After off axis and reference field curvature corrections, and after selection of the +1 grating order holographic image, a phase mask that transforms the optical elements of the holographic setup into an afocal device is applied in the camera plane. The reconstruction is then made by the angular spectrum method. The field is first propagated in the image half space from the camera to the afocal image of the MO optimal plane (plane for which MO has been designed) by using a quadratic kernel. The field is then propagated from the MO optimal plane to the object with the exact kernel. Calibration of the reconstruction is made by imaging a calibrated object like an USAF resolution target for different positions along $z$. Once the calibration is done, the reconstruction can be made with an object located in any plane $z$. The reconstruction method has been validated experimentally with an USAF target imaged with a NA=1.4 microscope objective. Near-optimal resolution is obtained over an extended range ($\pm 50~μ$m) of $z$ locations.

description: Autonomous robots on construction sites are designed with the objective to take over time-consuming tasks while also relieving human construction workers. However, to operate safely, they must reliably detect obstacles and avoid collisions. The proposed approach targets this problem for a SCARA-like granular-fill insulation distributing robot, using ultrasonic distance sensors. Mounting the sensors on the robot's links allows to observe the workspace at a sufficient rate and accuracy. A microcontroller reads out the sensor data and transfers it to the PLC in charge. Furthermore, an efficient sensor error detection principle for the developed sensor suite is demonstrated. Experiments conducted in a laboratory environment prove the functionality of the system. Collision avoidance with various obstacles commonly found on construction sites is realized reliably over a multitude of test runs. The system dependably detects and reacts to obstacles of varying sizes and materials in a safety margin of 300 mm within at least 160 ms, sufficient for applications in building construction sites.

Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung

description: Die Berichterstattung europäischer Unternehmen steht gegenwärtig am Beginn großer Umbrüche. Getrieben werden diese v.a. durch neue Vorgaben zu einer verpflichtenden Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung, welche die Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) in einem bisher nicht dagewesenen Umfang vorsieht. Aber auch auf internationaler Ebene führen die Arbeiten an den IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS SDS) dazu, dass sich Umfang und Inhalt der Unternehmensberichterstattung in den nächsten Jahren massiv erweitern werden. Die hiervon betroffenen Unternehmen sind aufgefordert, die gesamte Gestaltung ihrer Unternehmensberichterstattung zu überdenken, um ein umfassenderes Bild ihrer Lage und Leistung zu vermitteln und dennoch zugleich dem Problem des Disclosure Overload vorzubeugen. Ein Ansatz, dies zu erreichen, liegt im Konzept des Integrated Reporting (IR) begründet. Der nachfolgende Beitrag stellt dar, wie dessen Schlüsselelement der Konnektivität bereits in den neuen Pflichten zur Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung integriert ist und warum dieses von der Praxis – schon im Eigeninteresse der berichtspflichtigen Unternehmen und ihrer Eigentümer – möglichst frühzeitig vorangetrieben werden sollte.

description: Geometric and dynamical aspects of a coupled 4D-2D interacting quantum field theory - the gauged nonAbelian vortex - are investigated. The fluctuations of the internal 2D nonAbelian vortex zeromodes excite the massless 4D Yang-Mills modes and in general give rise to divergent energies. This means that the well-known 2D CP(N-1) zeromodes associated with a nonAbelian vortex become nonnormalizable. Moreover, all sorts of global, topological 4D effects such as the nonAbelian Aharonov-Bohm effect come into play. These topological global features and the dynamical properties associated with the fluctuation of the 2D vortex moduli modes are intimately correlated, as shown concretely here in a U(1) x SU(N) x SU(N) model with scalar fields in a bifundamental representation of the two SU(N) factor gauge groups.

The grandparent-grandchild bond: do parents retain the gatekeeper role as children age?
Creators: name: Blake, Stephanie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: This study examined the impact of the middle generation on the grandparent-grandchild bond. Specifically, I was interested in how the parent as gatekeeper mediates closeness and self-disclosure with a maternal grandmother at two different stages of the life course, ages 10-17 and 18-23. The younger focal children were twice as likely as the older focal children to confide in a grandmother they feel emotionally close to. For both age groups, the focal child-mother (G2-G3) relationship is positively associated with grandchild-grandmother (G1-G3) relationship. The mother-grandmother (G1-G2) relationship is significantly associated with grandchild-grandmother (G1-G3) closeness for both age groups, but this is especially true for the older focal children. For the younger focal children, mother-grandmother (G1-G2) closeness is related to G1-G3 self-disclosure. Among the older focal children, level of closeness between the mother and focal child is related to whether the older focal children will confide in their grandmother.

description: In over 400 h of running experiments for chemical looping combustion of solid fuels, more than ten different oxygen carriers and six different fuel types were tested at the chemical looping combustion research infrastructure at TU Wien. For preliminary testing of oxygen carriers, a laboratory unit was designed and operated extensively as a simple fluidized bed to investigate oxidation and reduction reactions independently. An innovative sampling device allows the extraction of the oxygen carrier material at any time during the experiment for the detection of the oxidation state. Based on results from the laboratory unit, a characterization scheme was developed to evaluate oxygen carriers for their suitability for CLC. The classification of fluidized bed properties and oxygen carrier properties enabled a holistic assessment of the oxygen carrier. The characterization scheme of the oxygen carrier was successfully confirmed by experiments in the 80 kWth pilot plant at TU Wien. The innovative design of this pilot plant allowed steady state operation under autothermal conditions. The lower part of the fuel reactor was realized as bubbling fluidized bed to increase the residence time of fuel, char and to minimize carbon slip. The upper part of the fuel reactor was designed as counter current column with restrictions along the height to improve gas/solid contact. Depending on operation conditions and the type of oxygen carrier, a carbon capture rate of up to 99% was reached. With natural ores, CO2 selectivities up to 95% were achieved and by usage of the synthetic oxygen carrier C28, a nearly full conversion (99.7%) was attained. A cold flow model study addressed possible improvements of the reactor design to further increase the efficiency and conversion rates. Furthermore, an experimental process chain setup included the direct utilization of exhaust gas of the fuel reactor by methanation. A methane yield as high as 96 % could be achieved out of the carbon transported to the methanation unit.

description: The ground-state phase diagram of Heisenberg spin-1/2 system on a two-leg ladder with rung alternation is studied by combining analytical approaches with numerical simulations. For the case of ferromagnetic leg exchanges a unique ferrimagnetic ground state emerges, whereas for the case of antiferromagnetic leg exchanges several different ground states are stabilized depending on the ratio between exchanges along legs and rungs. For the more general case of a honeycomb-ladder model for the case of ferromagnetic leg exchanges besides usual rung-singlet and saturated ferromagnetic states we obtain a ferrimagnetic Luttinger liquid phase with both linear and quadratic low energy dispersions and ground state magnetization continuously changing with system parameters. For the case of antiferromagnetic exchanges along legs, different dimerized states including states with additional topological order are suggested to be realized.

description: In the Bayesian Reinforcement Learning (BRL) setting, agents try to maximise the collected rewards while interacting with their environment while using some prior knowledge that is accessed beforehand. Many BRL algorithms have already been proposed, but even though a few toy examples exist in the literature, there are still no extensive or rigorous benchmarks to compare them. The paper addresses this problem, and provides a new BRL comparison methodology along with the corresponding open source library. In this methodology, a comparison criterion that measures the performance of algorithms on large sets of Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) drawn from some probability distributions is defined. In order to enable the comparison of non-anytime algorithms, our methodology also includes a detailed analysis of the computation time requirement of each algorithm. Our library is released with all source code and documentation: it includes three test problems, each of which has two different prior distributions, and seven state-of-the-art RL algorithms. Finally, our library is illustrated by comparing all the available algorithms and the results are discussed.

description: Young stars are surrounded by copious amounts of circumstellar material. Its composition, in particular its gas-to-dust ratio, is an important parameter. However, measuring this ratio is challenging, because gas mass estimates are often model dependent. X-ray absorption is sensitive to the gas along the line-of-sight while optical/near-IR extinction depends on the dust content. Therefore, the gas-to-dust ratio of an absorber is given by the ratio between X-ray and optical/near-IR extinction. We present three systems where we used X-ray and optical/near-IR data to constrain the gas-to-dust ratio of circumstellar material; from a dust-rich debris disk to gaseous protoplanetary disks.

Evaluation of Enhanced Coagulation for the Removal of Dissolved Organic Nitrogen and the Control of Nitrogenous Disinfection Byproduct Formation
Creators: name: Gustafson, Ryan Bradley
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2012

description: Enhanced coagulation is widely acknowledged as the best available conventional technology for removal of total and dissolved organic carbon (TOC/DOC) and control of regulated trihalomethane (THM4) and haloacetic acid (HAA5) disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Recent DBP toxicity research has indicated that many nitrogen-containing DBPs (N-DBPs) are more cytotoxic and genotoxic than THM4 and HAA5. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the capacity of enhanced coagulation to remove dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and to reduce formation of dichloroacetonitrile (DCAN) and dichloroacetamide (DCAM), representative species of two important N-DBP classes. Thirteen raw drinking waters from across the U.S., encompassing the range of TOC and alkalinities within the enhanced coagulation matrix, were investigated. This thesis presents and discusses relationships between observed precursor surrogate measures, DBP formation, and results of treatment by enhanced coagulation, which demonstrate greater removal of DOC and chloroform formation potential compared to removal of DON and the selected N-DBPs.
A complex network theory approach for the spatial distribution of fire breaks in heterogeneous forest landscapes for the control of wildland fires

description: Based on complex network theory, we propose a computational methodology that addresses the spatial distribution of fuel breaks for the inhibition of the spread and size of wildland fires on heterogeneous landscapes. This is a two-tire approach where the dynamics of fire spread are modeled as a random Markov field process on a directed network whose edge weights, are provided by a state-of-the-art cellular automata model that integrates detailed GIS, landscape and meteorological data. Within this framework, the spatial distribution of fuel breaks is reduced to the problem of finding the network nodes among which the fire spreads faster, thus their removal favours the inhibition of the fire propagation. Here this is accomplished exploiting the information centrality statistics. We illustrate the proposed approach through (a) an artificial forest of randomly distributed density of vegetation, and (b) a real-world case concerning the island of Rhodes in Greece whose a major part of its forest burned in 2008. Simulation results show that the methodology outperforms significantly the benchmark tactic of random distribution of fuel breaks.

description: In this thesis, I examine the imbrication of memory, masculinity, and glory in the cultural politics of revanche. I argue that revanche functioned not only as a desire to restore the annexed provinces of Alsace and Lorraine to France, but also as a cultural fantasy that reproduced and masked the antagonism between a glorious French past and resounding defeat in 1871, variously described as a wound or mutilation. The visual, I maintain, played a constitutive role in the construction of fantasy, as it bandaged as well as effaced the wound of defeat to reassert French glory. In paintings, posters, processions, films, and monuments, representations of dying soldiers and the war dead reveal how the fantasy of revanche changed between its emergence in 1871 and its abatement in post-World War I France. Across these media, invocations of the dead transitioned from calls to remember, to act, and finally, to forget.

Afterlife of the images
political iconology

description: In the present article the idea of ‘flying images’ concerning more specific images of falconry will be addressed in both a metaphorical and a literal manner. It will be shown how falconry’s iconic afterlife was crafted in the longue durée through specific strategies, which are not without con­tradictions. This afterlife will be described in a nonlinear way from Frederick II up to Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan through Aby Warburg’s concept of the ‘image vehicle’. Falconry images are ‘image vehicles’ par excellence. Falconry furniture, such as the hood or lure, has deep iconic impact. Such items are ‘image vehicles’ in the Warburgian sense, transmitting falconry’s physical and meta­phorical values over time and across cultures. The article will show how such images directly link to falconry techniques, thereby revealing falconry’s iconic power both as a practical pursuit and one laden with symbolism.

description: We derive and interpret solutions of time-harmonic Maxwell's equations with a vertical and a horizontal electric dipole near a planar, thin conducting film, e.g. graphene sheet, lying between two unbounded isotropic and non-magnetic media. Exact expressions for all field components are extracted in terms of rapidly convergent series of known transcendental functions when the ambient media have equal permittivities and both the dipole and observation point lie on the plane of the film. These solutions are simplified for all distances from the source when the film surface resistivity is large in magnitude compared to the intrinsic impedance of the ambient space. The formulas reveal the analytical structure of two types of waves that can possibly be excited by the dipoles and propagate on the film. One of these waves is intimately related to the surface plasmon-polariton of transverse-magnetic (TM) polarization of plane waves.

description: Chronic pain (CP) affects a growing number of people worldwide, but the management of pain on a daily basis faces considerable challenges. The use of brain imaging appears as a promising approach to improving CP patients’ pain management. A growing number of studies with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) show differences in brain structure and function between individuals with CP and healthy patients. These studies show that some of the differences appear to be present before the development of CP, while for others, it evolves in parallel with the development of pain. For this pilot study that aims to define the evolution of baseline parameters in healthy and chronic low back pain (CLBP) subjects who are not receiving treatment, we hypothesize that: 1) brain changes observed in CLBP subjects will be present in regions being involved in the development and maintenance of chronic pain such as the limbic system (e.g., hippocampal structure), and 2) brain changes observed in CLBP will be present in the limbic system (e.g., hippocampal structure), the structure of the hippocampus, and the functional and structural connectivity of the nucleus accumbens [NAc]) compared to healthy participants; 3) differences in the cerebral vascular tree between healthy and CLBP patients such as alterations in vascular density in the periphery of the limbic system will be observed and 4) the paraspinal muscles will reveal morphological differences between the two groups (e.g., higher fatty tissue infiltration in CLBP patients). The analysis of the paraspinal muscles will reveal morphological differences between the two groups (e.g., higher fatty tissue infiltration in pain patients) and that some of these features will be correlated with brain specificities in CLB patients. For this pilot study, we will collect a minimum of 20 subjects (10 with CLBP, M:F ratio of 1:1 and 10 healthy matched for age and sex) will be recruited. They will be followed longitudinally 2 months and 4 months after the first visit to follow their pain evolution (for CLBP patients) using questionnaires and to evaluate the cerebral and lumbar reorganization of the natural evolution of CLBP vs. the reorganization that might be observed in healthy subjects using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We will also acquire a saliva sample at each visit to perform preliminary genetic analyses based on previous studies.

description: The interplay of high operating temperatures and good heat dissipation is crucial for high-performance terahertz quantum cascade lasers. We therefore study the influence on the cross-plane thermal conductivity of different aluminum concentrations in the barrier of GaAs/AlxGa1−xAs active regions. The thermal conductivity is decreasing from 30WK−1m−1 to 12WK−1m−1 if the aluminum concentration is increased from 15% to 24%. The temperature during pulsed-laser operation is obtained by measuring the variation of the emission frequency for different laser pulse lengths. This shows, that besides the thermal conductivity, the amount of electric input power has a strong influence on the temperature reached internally during laser operation and is critical for creating high-power devices operating at high temperatures. We show that active regions with thin but high AlxGa1−xAs barriers fulfill this need and are well suited for high-temperature operation. A thermal model of the devices allows prediction of the active-region temperature increase for very short pulse durations. For the structure with 24% Al barriers and a starting temperature of 10 K, the model shows an increase by 24 K for a pulse length of only 300 ns.

description: The article examines the moisture risk associated with the conversion into flats of cellars in historic (100+ years) multifamily houses in a temperate climate for the case of downtown Vienna/Austria. The goal is to use the thermal losses of the flat above the cellar through the ceiling for heating the new living space (-> project title: “Space4Free”, Wegerer et al. 2022) using the tempering properties of the soil. Further framing conditions are acceptable hygienic conditions and thermal comfort. The cellar’s brick walls are not sealed off the soil for technical and economic reasons during refurbishment. The concept includes the installation of a mechanical ventilation plant. A three dimensional simulation of moisture and heat transport was carried out the coupling building parts to the indoor air. Focus was on designing a moisture based control algorithm for the mechanical (automated) ventilation plant which resulted in a decision tree with 8 states of ventilation operation. The simulation showed that such a cellar refurbishment – from a building physics point of view – is feasible. A main result is that the annual moisture immissions are driven by the moisture loads induced by the inhabitants such as cooking rather than by moisture originating from building components which are in contact with the soil. This result is corroborated by the fact that such conversion has been successfully practiced by a company represented among the authors since several years. A practical implication that – in the current case – insulating building components against moisture from the soil is less important than controlling user driven moisture loads.
Understanding paclitaxel/pluronic F127 nanocrystals prepared by the stabilization of nanocrystal (SNC) method
Creators: name: Deng, Jiexin
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2009

description: The objectives of this study were to understand the structure and stability of paclitaxel nanocrystals, as well as the biodistribution of nanocrystals after intravenous injection in mice. The nanocrystal size increased after 2 h 37 oC incubation due to thermal induced aggregation. The addition of more F127 surfactant further destabilized nanocrystals and led to a larger size increase concurrent with micelle formation. PTX/F127 nanocrystals (1/5 w/w) had little size increase upon dilution, indicating tight monomer surfactant absorption. Nanocrystals of more F127 surfactant (1/20, 1/30 w/w) increased much in size upon dilution, suggesting low-affinity surfactant absorption with micelle formation in solution. The re-nanonization after 37 oC incubation effectively inhibited crystal growth after 37 oC incubation again by disturbing the preferred crystal growth pattern of PTX. The biodistribution of nanocrystals revealed that the majority of nanocrystals were quickly taken up by reticuloendothelial system and went to the liver 1 h post injection.

description: Multi-subject functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data has been increasingly used to study the population-wide relationship between human brain activity and individual biological or behavioral traits. A common method is to regress the scalar individual response on imaging predictors, known as a scalar-on-image (SI) regression. Analysis and computation of such massive and noisy data with complex spatio-temporal correlation structure is challenging. In this article, motivated by a psychological study on human affective feelings using fMRI, we propose a joint Ising and Dirichlet Process (Ising-DP) prior within the framework of Bayesian stochastic search variable selection for selecting brain voxels in high-dimensional SI regressions. The Ising component of the prior makes use of the spatial information between voxels, and the DP component groups the coefficients of the large number of voxels to a small set of values and thus greatly reduces the posterior computational burden. To address the phase transition phenomenon of the Ising prior, we propose a new analytic approach to derive bounds for the hyperparameters, illustrated on 2- and 3-dimensional lattices. The proposed method is compared with several alternative methods via simulations, and is applied to the fMRI data collected from the KLIFF hand-holding experiment.

description: We apply our method of indirect integration, described in Part I, at fourth order, to the radial fall affected by the self-force. The Mode-Sum regularisation is performed in the Regge-Wheeler gauge using the equivalence with the harmonic gauge for this orbit. We consider also the motion subjected to a self-consistent and iterative correction determined by the self-force through osculating stretches of geodesics. The convergence of the results confirms the validity of the integration method. This work complements and justifies the analysis and the results appeared in Int. J. Geom. Meth. Mod. Phys., 11, 1450090 (2014).

description: High-order harmonic generation (HHG) in atomic systems by the highly nonlinear response to an intense laser field is a prominent pathway to the synthesis of ever shorter laser pulses at increasingly higher photon energies. Extensions of this process to molecules add to the complexity but also offer novel opportunities as multicenter effects and the coupling to nuclear degrees of freedom can influence HHG. In this paper, we theoretically explore the impact of coherent vibrational excitations of diatomic molecules on the HHG spectrum within the framework of time-dependent density-functional theory. We observe the appearance of interference structures in the HHG spectra controlled by resonances between the driving field and the vibrational wave packet.

description: The spatial distribution of the internal pressure of an electron fluid, which spontaneously arises at the formation of a molecule or a crystal, is linked to the main features of chemical bonding in molecular crystals. The local pressure is approximately expressed in terms of the experimental electron density and its derivatives using the density functional formalism and is applied to identify the bonding features in benzene, formamide and chromium hexacarbonyl. We established how the spatial regions of compression and stretching of the electron fluid in these solids reflect the typical features of chemical bonds of different types. Thus, the internal electronic pressure can serve as a bonding descriptor, which has a clear physical meaning and reveals the specific features of variety of the chemical bonds expressing them in terms of the electron density.

information exchange
semantics

description: Data models are the backbone of digital information exchange, since they contain the structure of data to be exchanged. Just as information requirements vary, so do data models - in level of detail, level of abstraction, and domain coverage. Due to these differences, communication between some data models is easy and between others is difficult. Regarding the Building Information Model (BIM) initiative, the IFC standard data model varies in detail, abstraction level, and large domain coverage. In contrast, the Austrian ÖGG-guideline has a consistent detail and abstraction level focusing on a single domain, subsurface engineering. In order to participate in a loss- and distortion-free information exchange, a reliable translation via a multitude of data models is a must-have. In this paper, we present formal criteria for distinguishing between semantics-carrying data models, such as IFC and ÖGG, and translating data models that provide reliable communication bridges between them, such as CAEX and SIMULTAN. We will show that translating data models are an indispensable part of the data model infrastructure even within a single domain. For evaluation purpose, we demonstrate our approach on a subsurface engineering use case.
Probing the uniaxial strains in MoS$_2$ using polarized Raman spectroscopy: A first-principles study

description: Characterization of strain in two-dimensional (2D) crystals is important for understanding their properties and performance. Using first-principles calculations, we study the effects of uniaxial strain on the Raman-active modes in monolayer MoS$_2$. We show that the in-plane $E'$ mode at 384 cm$^{-1}$ and the out-of-plane $A_1'$ mode at 403 cm$^{-1}$ can serve as fingerprints for the uniaxial strain in this 2D material. Specifically, under a uniaxial strain, the doubly degenerate $E'$ mode splits into two non-degenerate modes: one is $E_{\parallel}'$ mode in which atoms vibrate in parallel to the strain direction, and the other is $E_\perp'$ mode in which atoms vibrate perpendicular to the strain direction. The frequency of the $E_{\parallel}'$ mode blue-shifts for a compressive strain, but red-shifts for a tensile strain. In addition, due to the strain-induced anisotropy in the MoS$_2$ lattice, the polarized Raman spectra of the $E_{\parallel}'$ and $E_{\perp}'$ modes exhibit distinct angular dependence for specific laser polarization setups, allowing for a precise determination of the direction of the uniaxial strain with respect to the crystallographic orientation. Furthermore, we find that the polarized Raman intensity of the $A_1'$ mode also shows evident dependence on the applied strain, providing additional effective clues for determining the direction of the strain even without knowledge of the crystallographic orientation. Thus, polarized Raman spectroscopy offers an efficient non-destructive way to characterize the uniaxial strains in monolayer MoS$_2$.

description: The present data collection concerns perceptions of maladaptive personality traits and builds upon previous research (Miller et al., 2018; Sleep, Lamkin, et al., 2019; Sleep, Lynam, et al., 2019). Specifically, we will examine the extent to which individuals who score highly on measures of maladaptive traits view these same traits as likable in themselves and others as well as how likable they believe others find these traits in themselves and others. We will also examine self-identification with pathological personality traits as one's "cardinal" trait (Allport, 1937) and the relationship of this identification to trait liking.

title: Changing from blended learning to fully online learning: Does the change influence the learners’ experiences and perception of a 360 lecture?

description: This paper evaluates whether a change of teaching method influences students’ experiences, perception and usage of 360-degree videos within an e-tutoring training. Due to the Corona pandemic, a long-ongoing training had to be changed from a blended learning teaching approach to a fully online teaching format. Both approaches covered a “360 lecture” with almost identical learning content, methodologies and structures, enabling a direct comparison of effects when switching the teaching method. The evaluation considered both a quantitative analysis (evaluation of questionnaires data) as well as qualitative feedback of the students (discussions, word cloud comparison) that was collected identically for 5 years. Results show that since the Corona pandemic learners have higher awareness on their technical infrastructure (and its limitations) and therefore chose their playback options for “360 lectures” accordingly and were consequently more satisfied with it. Quantitative data backs these outcomes as showing no significant differences.
