Year: 2008

description: In the late 1996 a number of wall moisture induced problems appeared in Wilmington , NC. Initially these failures concentrated on EIFS (Exterior Insulated Finish Systems) walls, while a number of other walls eventually appeared with the same symptoms. Many prohibitive measures were taken that nearly eliminated the use of such walls systems in the New Hanover, NC region for residential construction. As EIFS wall systems have superior thermal performance (exterior foam insulation is used in addition to the interior cavity insulation), this a major step backwards towards energy efficiency.

The Department of Energy in collaboration with the EIMA (Association of EIFS) and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory initiated a three year study in 2004 to measure the performance of a number of key moisture issues. In this paper results will be presented on the thermal and moisture performance of two EIFS walls with innovative liquid applied weather resistive barriers with and without additional water penetration added.  The results will show the robustness of these new systems to handle even more hygrothermally challenged conditions as found in Charleston, SC. The results generated  from this research indicate that with the latest innovations in liquid applied weather resistive barriers reduce the risk for moisture induced problems in a quantifiable manner.

Stenolis Bates, 1864: 149; Monné, 2005: 127 (cat.).
Type-species: Stenolis undulata Bates, 1864 by monotypy [= Stenocorus angulatus Fabricius, 1801].
Redescription. Body elongate, slightly convex. Upper lobes of eyes separated by about twice width of a lobe; lower lobes usually twice as tall as genae below them. Antennae with 11 antennomeres, at least twice length of body. Ventral surface of antennomeres III–IV with few scattered short setae. Prothorax with or without minute obtuse lateral tubercles in beginning of posterior third; pronotum without prominences. Elytra without setae, centro-basal crista, or carinae; apices rounded, truncate, or emarginate. Prosternal process less than one-third width of a procoxa; mesosternal process as wide as a mesocoxa. Metatarsomere I as long as II+III, or slightly longer.
Comments. Bates (1864) proposed Stenolis based on one species, S. undulata, and commented on the similarity to some species of Nyssodrys (today Nyssodrysternum Gilmour, 1960) and Lepturges Bates, 1863, but noted differences in the last abdominal segment and in the shape of the prothorax.
Stenolis shares with Toronaeus Bates, 1864 and Neseuterpia Villiers, 1980, elytra without setae, centro-basal crista or carinae, and a prothorax without lateral tubercles. In Stenolis the sides of the prothorax are unarmed or have a minute tubercle on the posterior third. Stenolis differs from Toronaeus by the short ovipositor and the basal metatarsomere equal to or slightly longer than the following two segments of the tarsomere together. In Toronaeus the ovipositor is elongated and the basal metatarsomere is longer than the following two segments of the tarsomere together. Stenolis differs from Neseuterpia by the prothorax narrowed anteriorly and posteriorly, by the straight rather than curved protibiae, and males with femorae pedunculate-clavate. In Stenolis the prothorax is always widest behind the middle, and the femorae and tibiae are straight in both sexes.

description: I de senere år har der vist sig flere og flere fugtskader i bygninger

Disse mange skader skyldes ikke manglende viden på det sofistikerede teoretiske plan, gode fugtmodeller eller matchberegninger mm, men skyldes en manglende elementær og bredspektret viden om fugtmekanismer og menneskelige fejl på byggepladser og tegnebord.

Dette kan til en vis grad tilskrives den fremadskridende specialisering i byggeriet, hvilket vanskeliggør tilbageføring af erfaring mellem byggeplads og projekterende, håndværkere og rådgivere:

Disse mange skader skyldes ikke manglende viden om sofistikerede teoretiske fugtmodeller, Fugtberegninger eller nye multifunktionelle materialer mm, men de skyldes manglende elementær og bredspektret viden om fugtmekanismer og menneskelige fejl, hvilket sandsynligvis skyldes den fremadskridende specialisering i byggeriet.

Dette Paper omhandler således enkle grundlæggende organisatoriske og videnmæssige mangler, illustreret ved kort gennemgang en række aktuelle cases:
•	de projekterende kommer sjældent på en byggeplads og retter fejl
•	de tilsynsførende på byggepladsen kommer sjældent på tegnestuen og vejleder de ukyndige kollegaer
•	de tekniske og de håndværksmæssige grænseflader mellem de enkelte facadeentrepriser overlades til fugtteoretisk ukyndige på lavt teoretisk stade fx fugeentreprenører, tømrer (vel vidende at mange håndværkere har et større fugtteknisk viden en mange arkitekter og ingeniører)
•	en afgrundsdyb ukendskab til virkemåde og forskel mellem 1-trins og 2-trinstætning i facader og dermed også til korrekt fugning
•	der er en total manglende forståelse for denne lavteknologiske problemstilling på de relevante uddannelser

Når der opstår fugtskader i byggeriet er de vanskelige at håndtere fordi:
•	kendskabet til de fugtmekanismer er lille og ofte baseret på forkerte tommelfingerregler
•	diagnosticering af fugtskader baseres ofte på forket anvendelse af udstyr og metode

Som cases benyttes et par enkelte bygninger, der i rigt mål illustrerer problemstillingen.

•	indledende forket tankegang ved fugtdimensionering, dvs. valg af tætningsstrategi
•	Katastrofal/forkert anvendelse af anvendelse af 1-trinstætning
•	katastrofal sammenblanding af 1 – og 2-trinstætning
•	relevante forbedringer af små detaljer
•	katastrofal anvendelse af tilsyneladende uskyldige detaljer
•	relevante udstyr og diagnosticeringsmetoder

description: The indoor climate in historic buildings is crucial in order to the preserve the building, interiors and objects. From a preservation point of view, the primary parameter is relative humidity. Too high values will promote biodeterioration, strong variations will cause damages on wooden objects. Many historic buildings such as churches, castles and large manor buildings are not used on a regular basis. In this case comfort is not a major consideration, heating and any other climate control would focus on maintaining a proper climate from a preservation point of view; i.e. a stable relative humidity according to the climate history of the building. Heating is a simple and efficient way to control the relative humidity, this practice is called heating for conservation.

In the typical Nordic climate, heating for conservation means that the temperature is raised some 3 to 5 °C over the outdoor temperature. The indoor temperature will vary with the outdoor temperature while the relative humidity is kept more or less constant. Thus the heating load is remarkably stable over the year. The combination of a stable heating load and a low indoor air temperature makes this an ideal application for a heat pump.

The present paper will investigate the potential and real improvement of COP with a lower indoor temperature and present a method for determining the heating load based on the climate history of the building. Also the design of mixed-mode heating systems, i.e combining conservation heating with intermittent heating for comfort will be dealt with. Results from tow on-going case studies in Sweden will be presented. The results will be evaluated with respect to energy efficiency and preservation aspects.

description: The ribosome is a ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for synthesizing proteins from mRNA in a process called translation. Differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes make the ribosome a significant target for antibiotics. Within this dissertation, the mechanisms of action of three ribosome-targeting antibiotics are studied using next generation sequencing, molecular biology, and biochemistry. We first reveal the surprising in-cell mechanism of action of the orthosomycin antibiotic evernimicin. Evernimicin’s action is context-specific, meaning it most efficiently inhibits translation when certain amino acids are in the ribosome. Using this knowledge, we identify a short open reading frame that may be involved in the regulation of the orthosomycin resistance gene, EmtA. Next, we describe the genome-wide effects of apidaecin, a proline-rich antimicrobial peptide, and the first described specific inhibitor of translation termination. We show that in cells, apidaecin sequesters release factors and traps ribosomes at stop codons. There are also significant secondary effects, including stop codon readthrough and overwhelming the ribosome rescue systems. Finally, we demonstrate that drosocin, another proline-rich antimicrobial peptide, is the second described specific inhibitor of translation termination. A plasmid library containing the coding sequence of 362 arabinose-inducible drosocin gene variants was used to analyze sequence activity relationships of drosocin.

description: The energy consumption is a major concern to building facility managers. Regarding to hotels management, this is even more critical due to the close relation between hotel operation cost and profit.
	In Brazil, the use of air conditioning in hotels is almost mandatory due to climate demands even though, for certain hotels categories, the use of air conditioning system is optional.
	There are several tools that can be used for evaluating the energy demand of a building with air conditioning system. Among them, one can use EnergyPlus that has a detailed physical model for the building and a set of several models for different types of air conditioning and air handling systems.
	This paper proposes to evaluate EnergyPlus as a tool to predict the energy performance of an economic class hotel in Brazil with air conditioning system for different climate conditions. The results show that the level of uncertainty is quite customer dependent due to the variety of customer thermal comfort requirements.

description: Data management plans (DMPs) are formal and structured documents that capture all relevant information along the data lifecycle and beyond. A DMP typically describes data handling, archiving, sharing, access, usage and interpretation.
 A DMP instance applies a certain DMP template in order to address a specific funder or institution for a given use case. However, the structure of existing DMP templates is often designed for funder’s requirements and is consequently generic in scope to address diverse research projects and communities. Thus, these templates often lack guidance on how to structure discipline-specific information in a DMP and information on related consequences, when not following recommended steps. Moreover, additional guidance is often provided in consultations or as unstructured text in specific DMP tools or separate documents and is therefore not prepared for discovery or reuse.
 To address these challenges, we propose to structure DMP guidance by applying a pattern concept. The pattern concept was developed to collect proven solutions for frequently occurring problems. First patterns covered architecture elements, like specific window forms for specific house forms. By now, the pattern concept is well-established in several disciplines, in particular as software design patterns tackling frequently occurring IT problems and providing solution blueprints. ... With our proposed DMP guidance template, we provide a common structure for DMP guidance facilitating (1) DMP writing across disciplines, (2) the provision of concrete examples (best practices), and (3) the provision of consequences to foster awareness for certain data management topics.

description: The surface of infiltration basins, used to discharge urban stormwater, is an overpolluted matrix containing many reactive compounds liable to facilitate the transfer of heavy metals through the vadose zone to the aquifer. In the two basins studied, the metallic content is high (970 ppm of Zn and 5.23 ppm of Cd) and the organic matter and the bacteria are very abundant (5.56E+09 to 1.23E+10 bacteria/g of dry soil), by opposition to those of the unpolluted underlying soil ; the granulometric analysis also underscore the numerical importance of colloids and aggregates in the topsoils. Instability tests and leaching tests in small columns complete the study and the evaluation of potential behaviour of the surface soils and their components. Instability tests establish that Zn has big affinities with the organic matter and with the colloidal compartment, while Cd remains in the aggregates. In columns where rainfalls close to real hydrodynamic conditions are simulated, the first pore volume water eluted is distinguished by high contents on metals and bacteria, but the alternance of wetting/drying phases is attended to largely influence the fate of this two compartments. To complete ultra- and microfiltration, coupling MEB and X-fluorescence is foreseen to investigate their potential bonds.

description: As a powerful modelling method, PieceWise Linear Neural Networks (PWLNNs) have proven successful in various fields, most recently in deep learning. To apply PWLNN methods, both the representation and the learning have long been studied. In 1977, the canonical representation pioneered the works of shallow PWLNNs learned by incremental designs, but the applications to large-scale data were prohibited. In 2010, the Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) advocated the prevalence of PWLNNs in deep learning. Ever since, PWLNNs have been successfully applied to extensive tasks and achieved advantageous performances. In this Primer, we systematically introduce the methodology of PWLNNs by grouping the works into shallow and deep networks. Firstly, different PWLNN representation models are constructed with elaborated examples. With PWLNNs, the evolution of learning algorithms for data is presented and fundamental theoretical analysis follows up for in-depth understandings. Then, representative applications are introduced together with discussions and outlooks.

description: Spatial and planning support for the implementation of the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires interdisciplinary approaches for assessment, deficit analysis and co-operative scenario investigation. The paper presents a part of the SDSS approach from the FLUMAGIS-project. In the prototype several case-studies are developed to test the planning and assessment tools. This comprises the representation of flowing waters and landscape ecological aspects as well as aspects of water and emission balances in the study area of the upper Ems catchment (3740 km\302\262) in the northwest of Germany. One focus of the project was the role of urban areas affecting the river system in different ways, e.g. as priority pollutants from urban areas and hydrological stress caused by storm water discharge. An overview of the applied and developed methods and functionalities in FLUMAGIS is given. Further more an extract of the urban relevant case studies is offered. This comprises an integrated evaluation of river sections, considering hydrological aspects as well as an emission balance of rainwater discharge. However, due to the high interdisciplinary approaches only a few aspects can be described within this paper.

Studies of Small Molecule Inhibitors Targeting the Filovirus Glycoproteins and Potential Therapeutics

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Filoviridae, including Ebola (EBOV) and Marburg (MARV) viruses, are emerging pathogens that pose a serious threat to public health. Continuous outbreaks in Africa and the discovery of novel filovirus pathogens in other continents like Měngla (MLAV) in China highlight the urgency for the development of therapeutics against novel and existing filovirus pathogens. To date, no therapeutics have been approved to treat filovirus infectious, representing a major unmet medical need. The overall goals of this thesis are to develop broad-spectrum antivirals targeting the viral glycoprotein (GP) and to elucidate the mechanisms of small-molecule inhibition. Many small molecules have been identified as entry inhibitors of filoviruses. However, a lack of understanding of the mechanism of action for these molecules limits further their development as anti-filoviral agents. This thesis focuses on 1) the discovery of pan-filovirus entry inhibitors compounds 30 and 32, 2) the mechanism of pan-filovirus entry inhibition and 3) the elucidation of potential therapeutics and entry mechanism for MLAV. First, we performed a focused screen on estrogen receptor ligands leading to the discovery of tamoxifen analog ridaifen-B as a potent entry inhibitor of EBOV and MARV. Optimization and reverse-engineering to remove ridaifen-B’s estrogen receptor activity led to the creation of novel pan-filovirus inhibitors 30 and 32. Second, we identified the HR2 region as the primary binding site of MARV and the secondary binding site of EBOV entry inhibitors confirming that small-molecule entry inhibition is multi-mechanistic. Here we provide evidence that toremifene and other small molecule entry inhibitors have at least three distinct mechanisms of action and lay the groundwork for future development of anti-filoviral agents. Finally, we provide evidence that the previously identified small molecules and neutralizing antibodies known to inhibit EBOV and MARV entry also inhibit MLAV.Our findings support that MLAV is more closely related to MARV than EBOV, yet distinctive from MARV, which is consistent with the previously published studies. Overall, the findings presented in this thesis provide important insight into filovirus entry and rational drug design of pan-filovirus drug development.

description: Winds are commonly observed in luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs). A plausible model of those winds is magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) disc winds. In the case of disc winds from a thin accretion disc, isothermal or adiabatic assumption is usually adopted in such MHD models. In this work we perform two-dimensional MHD simulations implementing different thermal treatments (isothermal, adiabatic and radiative) to study their effects on winds from a thin accretion disc. We find that both the isothermal model and the adiabatic model overestimate the temperature, underestimate the power of disc winds, and cannot predict the local structure of the winds, compared to the results obtained by solving the energy equation with radiative cooling and heating. Based on the model with radiative cooling and heating, the ionization parameter, the column density and the velocity of the disc winds have been compared to the observed ultrafast outflows (UFOs). We find that in our simulations the UFOs can only be produced inside hundreds of Schwarzschild radius. At much larger radii, no UFOs are found. Thus, the pure MHD winds cannot interpret all the observed UFOs.

description: This paper presents the assessment of the efficiency of the main biological nitrogen transformation processes in a shallow well-oxygenated river and conditions under which they are active and stabilize. The process dynamics was studied with the help of mathematical modelling of two years on-line data series measured in a reach of the Toess River, Switzerland. The algal nitrogen uptake was very stable and unaffected by most but frequent flood events. Daylight photosynthetic nitrogen uptake stabilized at 6 mgN m-2streambed h-1 (15\302\260C), dark uptake on storage products at rates of 0.5-2.5 mgN m-2streambed h-1. Nitrogen uptake by heterotrophic bacteria in the hyporheic zone was relatively constant at a level of 1.5-3.5 mgN m-2streambed h-1. Streambed nitrification could establish only during periods with averaged daily concentration of at least 0.3 gNH4-N m-3 in river water for several weeks. The maximum nitrification rate was 35 mgN m-2streambed h-1 for 3 gNH4-N m-3. The effects of reduced nitrification in the WWTP and of river banks shading on a sudden ammonium peak were simulated. A river reach endangered by ammonium spills should be kept open to sun to favour ammonium uptake by algae. In-stream nitrification reduces ammonium peaks efficiently but leads to toxic nitrite concentrations.

description: Urban rainy weather effluents, in spite of dilution effects, could represent a major cause of pollution for receiving water when directly rejected at CSO\342\200\231s or inducing wastewater treatment plant malfunction, conducting to immediate or cumulative impacts. In this study, we reconsider the operating mode of an activated sludge wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and the dimensioning of its storm basin, seeking to minimise total rejected flows at annual scale, while maximising rainy weather flows through these two works. The total annual flow rejected by these two works constituted the principal criterion to discriminate various scenarios.
The Pre-main Sequence: Challenges and Prospects for Asteroseismology

description: Stars do not simply pop up on the main sequence. Before the stars arrive on the zero-age main sequence, they form in the collapses of molecular clouds, gain matter through accretion processes, and compress their cores until hydrogen can burn in full equilibrium. Although this evolutionary phase lasts a relatively short time, it is the imprint of these important physical processes that is often ignored by simplified assumptions. While asteroseismology offers a great tool to investigate these physical processes, studying pre-MS oscillations in turn has the potential to further advance the field. Asteroseismology of pre-main sequence stars faces observational and theoretical challenges. The remnants of their birth environment which is often still surrounding the young stars causes variability that can interfere with the signal of pulsations. The lack of long time-base satellite observations in addition limits the applications of the method. Theoretical models of pre-main sequence stars include several assumptions and simplifications that influence the calculation of pulsation frequencies and excitation properties of pulsation modes. Keeping all this in mind, the prospects for pre-main sequence asteroseismology are manifold. An improved understanding of the structure of young stellar objects has the potential to answer some of the open questions of stellar evolution, including angular momentum transport and the formation of magnetic fields. While gyrochronology, for example, struggles to determine the ages of the youngest clusters, pulsations in pre-main sequence stars can function as an independent age indicator yielding higher precision for single stars. The increasing interest of stellar astrophysics in general to investigate the formation and early evolution of stars and planets illustrates the growing importance of pre-main sequence asteroseismology.

description: Effective remediation of energetic compounds such as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (2,4,6-TNT) and 1,3,5-Trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane (RDX) persists as an intransigent problem throughout the lifecycle of munitions. At the point of manufacture, contamination of groundwater with munitions energetics constituents is a major environmental concern while at end-of-lifecycle, demilitarization of stockpiled munitions still requires novel and efficient technological solutions. Utilizing electrochemical methods and reactions implementing Fenton’s Reagent, energetic compounds have proven themselves amenable to molecular degradation via oxidative and reductive processes in the presence of a catalyst. However, traditional catalysts such as iron, in the case of Fenton’s Reagent, or platinum, in the case of electrochemistry, present practical concerns such as recyclability and cost. Two-dimensional (2D) materials are a new class of materials that have generated a substantial amount of attention in the scientific community because of their mechanical, electrical, and catalytic properties. Comprised of a single atomically-thin layer, materials such as graphene and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) have demonstrated excellent catalytic performance in reactions such as the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) and the Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR). Here, we propose to study 2D materials as catalysts in various reactions for the chemical degradation of energetic compounds such as 2,4,6-TNT. We will implement electrochemical reactions, study complementary 2D materials, and optimize the reactions’ conditions to elucidate their underlying mechanisms.

description: We study the frustration properties of the Ising model on several decorated lattices with arbitrary numbers of decorating spins on all bonds of the lattice within an exact analytical approach based on the Kramers--Wannier transfer-matrix technique. The existence of magnetic frustrations in such situations and their influence on the behavior of the thermodynamic functions of systems is shown. The most important result of our study is related to the description of the possible coexistence of frustrations and long-range magnetic order in partially ordered spin systems.

description: The frustration properties of the Ising model on a one-dimensional monoatomic equidistant lattice are investigated taking into account the exchange interactions of atomic spins at the sites of the first (nearest), second (next-nearest) and third neighbors. The exact solution of the model was obtained using the Kramers--Wannier transfer matrix method. The types of magnetic ordering of the ground state of the model are determined, and a magnetic phase diagram is constructed. Criteria are formulated for the occurrence of magnetic frustrations in the presence of competition between the energies of exchange interactions. Non-zero entropy values in the ground state of the frustrated system were found.

description: A pilot installation treating a combined sewer overflow (CSO) at Bornem, Flanders is built. The construction comprises a presettler and a plug flow treatment zone with floating vegetation elements. The installation is aimed to treat efficiently a so-called two-year overflow event of 2,309 m\302\263 volume and 0.17 m\302\263/s peak flow. During the past three years a number of overflow events were registered. Initially the system performed well, with an observed COD-removal efficiency of 68% and an SS-removal efficiency of 95%. Even nutrient removal took place with values of 37% and 61% for N and P respectively. There was also a becoming \342\200\234natural\342\200\235 (presence of plankton and day/night respiration regimes) of the water. Over the years a decrease in performance was noticeable. During some events more was discharged then brought into the system. This was especially the case for N. It has to be noted though that the most stringent standards for the discharge of treated wastewater in Flanders were almost never exceeded. Overall the current discharge of the overflow treatment is a significant improvement, but maintenance is necessary to keep the system performing well. The applicability of the evaluated system is mainly the treatment of CSO\342\200\231s causing significant ecological damage.

Chemical Modification of Graphene for COVID-19 Detection and Catalysis

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Due to numerous outstanding properties, graphene has been called “the wonder material”. For example, the delocalized electrons in graphene are massless and transport at virtually the speed of light, which means that graphene-based transistors have the potential to be faster than the current silicon-based transistors by thousands of times. Similarly, the potential for breakthroughs of graphene can also be found in many other fields such as energy storage, sensors, electronics, coatings, thermal applications, and mechanical strength. Even though graphene is already used in some industries, its full potential is still very far from being reached. This dissertation focuses on the applications of graphene enabled by the surface chemical modification. The main objectives of this work are: (1) to understand the chemistry of graphene and discover a new unusual type of graphene functionalization in addition to covalent and non-covalent methods (2) to utilize graphene as a transducer for biomedical devices owing to its two-dimensional confinement of sp2 -hybridized carbon atoms with an overlapping electron cloud, strong electron−phonon coupling, and a high quantum capacitance (3) to reduce carbon dioxide via graphene functionalized with single-atom chromium in the effort to solve greenhouse and climate change problems (4) to study graphene and its derivatives’ properties in the presence of defects.
Heat capacity in relation to the Danish Building regulations

name: Olsen, Lars
Publisher: name: 8th Symposium on Building Physics in the Nordic Countries
Year: 2008

description: In the Danish building regulations which was introduced in 2006 a calculation of the heating and cooling demand is required.

It is possible to utilize the thermal mass in building constructions to reduce the variation of the room temperatures and thereby create a more uniform indoor climate and to reduce the requirements for heating and cooling.

The paper will contain following main points:

- Summary of the performed calculations, which make it possible to quantify the effect of the utilisation of the thermal performance of the thermal mass of different materials for accumulation of heat in the surfaces of buildings.

- Analysis of the effect of utilisation of different materials in relation to the rules in the building regulations. The energy and comfort related performance of the different choices of building materials is compared. The calculation principle which corresponds to the building regulations is applied.

- Show examples on how the material data can be used in connection with the new building regulations.

- Discuss possibilities and limitations of the applied methods.

description: We consider the discrete Allen-Cahn equation with cubic and quintic nonlinearity on the Lieb lattice. We study localized nonlinear solutions of the system that have linear multistability and hysteresis in their bifurcation diagram. In this work, we investigate the system's homoclinic snaking, i.e. snaking-like structure of the bifurcation diagram, particularly the effect of the lattice type. Numerical continuation using a pseudoarclength method is used to obtain localized solutions along the bifurcation diagram. We then develop an active-cell approximation to classify the type of solution at the turning points, which gives good agreement with the numerical results when the sites are weakly coupled. Time dynamics of localized solutions inside and outside the pinning region is also discussed.
