description: Latent thermal energy storage (LTES) is considered a crucial energy technology for further decarbonization of our energy system by creating compact and efficient thermal energy storage units. Despite the potential and the long research history, LTES systems are not very widespread in the energy market, nor in residential applications, nor in industrial processes. One of the reasons why (L)TES is not an established technology is attributed to the difficulty in designing LTES units and predicting their performance because of their inherent transient nature and behavior. Characteristic correlations predicting the transient behavior of LTES systems without too many computational efforts are valuable for engineering practices. This characterization of LTES systems can be done with the recently developed charging time energy fraction (CTEF) method. This method allows fitting a predictive model for the outlet heat transfer fluid temperature of a LTES unit as a function of the input conditions. The validity of this CTEF method has been proven for a few different LTES systems, working at low temperatures (-5 - +20 °C) as well as above 220 °C where heat losses have to be accounted for. Although useful for predicting the behavior of LTES units in ideal charging and discharging cycles the predictive power is only valid for a specific geometry and it can thus not be used to predict the behavior of other geometries. As there is no general design methodology for LTES systems, the community would greatly benefit from similar easy to use models in the design stage. Therefore, future work is dedicated to further developing the CTEF method and trying to extend it to a design model.

description: Transcription is a fundamental process involving the interaction of RNA polymerase II and related transcription factors. TFIIB is a transcription factor that plays a significant role in the formation and stability of the preinitiation complex in a precise orientation, as well as in the control of initiation and pre-elongation steps. At the initiation step, TFIIB interacts with three structures: the end of the TATA-binding protein, a GC-rich DNA sequence followed by the TATA box, and the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II. It is known that RNA polymerase II is a glycoprotein and contains O-GlcNAc sugar at the C-terminal domain during the initiation stage of transcription. However, it is unclear whether the transcription factors interacting with RNA polymerase II are glycoproteins or not. The study aims to determine the glycosylation (N- and/or O-linked glycosylations) of TFIIB by using bioinformatics in one invertebrate and seven vertebrate species and experimental methods in the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus oocyte. Both bioinformatics and experimental analysis have shown that TFIIB is a glycoprotein. In addition, PNGase-F enzyme treatment, lectin blotting, and colloidal-gold conjugated lectin labeling results revealed that TFIIB contains O-linked GalNAc, mannose, GlcNAc, and α-2,3-linked sialic acid. Based on our results, we suggest that glycosylation modification may be involved in the transcription mechanism of the TFIIB protein.

description: Fish welfare within aquaculture suffers from the fact that regulations and legal requirements for animal welfare primarily apply to terrestrial animal husbandry. However, fish welfare plays a major role in fish husbandry, and it has been increasingly recognized since the early 2000's that fish can feel pain and need to be protected by law. In order to grant certain standards of welfare in husbandry the ability to measure and monitor welfare is key. For this, fish farmers need assistance and tools that are practicable and can be incorporated into their daily routines. MyFishCheck is such a tool and was developed by the Aquaculture Systems Research Group at the ZHAW in Wädenswil to support fish farmers in monitoring fish welfare. MyFishCheck is a model based on the scoring of different parameters, which are decisive for fish welfare, to assess the current welfare status of fish. The corresponding app facilitates the assessment for fish farms as they can enter the data and analyse the results digitally. The app is built in a modular way to ensure that more fish species, languages, or parameters can be added. This thesis had two goals, first, the implementation of the European perch (Perca fluviatilis) into the model and the app, and second, the development of a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) on how such a species implementation is to be carried out. A complete implementation of the European perch into MyFishCheck was successfully carried out and its individual steps were documented. The parameters and their weighings within MyFishCheck were adapted to the needs of the European perch and justified based on a comprehensive literature search. A userfriendly SOP was created to facilitate future implementations of additional fish species in a standardised way, allowing for the continuous increase of the use and range of MyFishCheck.

description: Abstract

The fetus's lifeline is the umbilical cord can have abnormalities in its length, coil, contents knots, and attachments to endanger the life of the fetus. So also is the placenta – the tree of life. An essential component throughout pregnancy is a healthy umbilical cord. However, occasionally, certain anomalies like an abnormally lengthy umbilical chord may cause it to become compromised. They may have serious repercussions even if they typically result in a healthy baby. Four percent of pregnancies have excessively lengthy umbilical cords, which increase the chance of nuchal presentation and endanger the foetus. We report a case of a primi at 37 weeks of gestation in labour Emergency LSCS was done because USG confirmed the presence of an umbilical cord beneath the presenting part. It was a Just miss from a catastrophe due to multiple abnormalities like an excessively long Umbilical cord, cord presentation increased umbilical coil index, Battle door placenta, and velamentous vessel. An in-depth evaluation of the placenta and umbilical chord during the growth scan would help us to plan elective LSCS keeping in mind the adverse perinatal outcome because of these abnormalities of the placenta and umbilical cord.

description: At present oil companies are forced to continually decrease electric power inputs. However, energy efficiency of oil well equipment decreases in time. Well re-equipment enables to stop energy efficiency loss but it requires large additional inputs. The possible solution of this problem is development of the energy efficiency growth strategy that does not include equipment replacement. To do this the oil well model that is able to precisely estimate energy efficiency of every element in electric power system needs to be constructed. Oil well technological and mechanical parameters, determining production efficiency, are strongly connected to the electric parameters of equipment. Therefore, they need to be included in the model. Models used in oil companies for energy efficiency estimation reflect dependencies between described parameters but they do not consider instant changes of electric parameters caused by changing of electric power system regime. Mathematical models of electric power systems that consider instant changes of electrical parameters are based on differential equations which have complicated solutions. The paper considers a method for instant changes analysis in power consumption profiles of oil well equipment that is based on dynamic time warping algorithm. It is demonstrated that instant changes of electrical parameters at the short time period caused only by electric power system regime changes and are independent from well production conditions. Based on this thesis it is proposed to study instant changes of electrical parameters in wells with similar production conditions. The comparison of two modifications of dynamic time warping algorithm is presented. Investigation of the properties of given modifications when applying to power consumption profiles exposes limitations of using the method. However, the study (...) allows to find possible ways of overcoming the restrictions.

description: The use of forecasts and predictive models highly affects the process of making decisions. The use of given forecasts allows to increase economic effectiveness of individual entities as well as the corporations. The aim of the article is the investigation of the influence of the weakly formalized factors on the forecasts' accuracy. The study is based on the problem of classification for determining the trends of changing the indicators and the levels of external factors' influences on a change of the referencing parameter. The dataset which contains 25 daily news headings gathered during 8 years was used to make the calculations. The chosen news headlines are related to the stock market and were published by the most authoritative sources such as: Russia Today, Reuters, Scientific American, The Guardian. It was demonstrated that the record of the influence of the information in the news reports on the change of the referencing parameter (using the example of the NASDAQ index) allows clarifying the forecasts taken with the use of functional methods. Therefore, it leads to minimizing mistakes and maximizing the forecasts' reliability.
Conceptual Design of HTS Magnet

description: This conceptual design report presents two electromagnetic designs of the HTS Canted Cosine Theta (CCT) magnet option. We highlighted the complexity of the protection and proposed a compact design based on the resistive insulation technology (“MI like”) and an insulated version with added copper stabilizer. Both option are generating 4 T of dipole field without Iron shell and with at least 10 K of margin at an operational temperature of 10 K. We decided to consider a simple cable based on a co-winding of commercial REBCO tapes in order to respect the time scale of the project and the conductor budget. Electromagnetic and protection studies are presented in this report and the further required studies are discussed at the end of the report.

description: The study is devoted to the actual problem of fraudulent transactions detecting with use of machine learning. Presently the receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curves are commonly used to present results for binary decision problems in machine learning. However, for a skewed dataset ROC curves don't reflec tthe difference between classifiers and depend on the largest value of precision or recall metrics. So the financial companies are interested in high values of both precision and recall. For solving this problem the precision-recall curves are described as an approach. Weighted logistic regression is used as an algorithm-level technique and random undersampling is proposed as data-level technique to build credit card fraud classifier. To perform computations a logistic regression as a model for prediction of fraud and Python with sklearn, pandas and numpy libraries has been used. As a result of this research it is determined that precision-recall curves have more advantages than ROC curves in dealing with credit card fraud detection. The proposed method can be effectively used in the banking sector.

description: Alzheimer's disease remains an issue of great controversy due to its pathology. It is characterized by cognitive impairments and neuropsychiatric symptoms. The FDA approved medications for this disease, can only mitigate the symptoms. One reason for the lack of effective medications is the inaccessibility of the brain which is encompassed by the blood-brain barrier, making intranasal (IN) route of administration potentially advantageous. Male Wistar rats underwent stereotaxic surgery to induce an Alzheimer's disease model via intracerebroventricular (ICV) streptozotocin injection, and Carbamylated Erythropoietin-Fc (CEPO-FC), a derivative of Erythropoietin without its harmful characteristics, was administered intranasally for ten consecutive days. Cognition performance for memory and attention was assessed using the Novel Object Recognition Test and the Object-Based Attention Test respectively. Depression like behavior was evaluated using the Forced Swim Test. Western blotting was done on the extracted hippocampus to quantify STIM proteins. Calbindin, PSD-95, Neuroplastin, Synaptophysin and GAP-43 genes were assessed by Realtime PCR. Behavioral tests demonstrated that IN CEPO-FC could halt cognition deficits and molecular investigations showed that, STIM proteins were decreased in Alzheimer's model, and increased after IN CEPO-FC treatment. Calbindin and PSD-95 were downregulated in our disease model and upregulated when treated with IN CEPO-FC. While Neuroplastin, and GAP-43 expressions remained unchanged. This study suggests that IN CEPO-FC in low doses could be promising for improving cognition and synaptic plasticity deficits in Alzheimer's disease and since IN route of administration is a convenient way, choosing IN CEPO-FC for clinical trial might worth consideration.

description: The following article addresses a complex combinatorial optimization and integer-programming problem, referred to as the vehicle routing problem, which is typically related to the field of transportation logistics. The aim of the research is to combine a set of objective functions, number of common generalizations and extensions of the problem, arising in distributed services or goods supply. For this purpose, literature on the subject has been analysed, leading to the mathematical modelling method being applied. At the current moment such complicated variants of the problem present high importance for research because of both practical applications and high complexity. The paper proposes a new generalized multi-objective vehicle routing problem with multiple depots and heterogeneous vehicles fleet with regard to various factors affecting costs. The problem statement is presented as a mixed integer linear program. Objectives scalarization approach is proposed in order to reduce decision-maker participation. Shortcomings of the single-criterion formulation and negative effects of replacing the criteria with constraints are shown. The results provide initial data for solving a large number of transportation problems that are reduced to the vehicle routing problem. In particular, the application of the ant colony optimization as a method for solving the problem is discussed.

title: Somatosensory Interaction: Investigating Mechanoreception, Thermoception, and Proprioception for On-Body Haptic Feedback
Creators: name: Günther, Sebastian
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2022

description: Haptics are an important factor to make virtual worlds and remote interpersonal interaction tangible. While current technological advances, such as Virtual Reality (VR), are reaching the mass market, they are primarily visual while available haptic devices are mostly limited to vibrotactile stimuli, such as smartphone notifications or embedded in game controllers. However, haptic feedback consists of more components that make an experience physically perceivable and lifelike. In addition to the vibrotactile stimulation of fine mechanoreception, these also incorporate stronger forces addressing pressure-based mechanoreception, temperature perceived by thermoception, and body position and movement perceived by proprioception, which are all parts of the somatosensory system. Consequently, to get closer to a full haptic experience, haptics need to be considered in the broader context of the complete somatosensory system. In this thesis, novel haptic concepts will be introduced and implemented in prototypical systems to investigate them in a series of user studies, leading to a better understanding of somatosensory interaction. In this context, this dissertation provides six major contributions: (1) The first contribution presents a systematic investigation of fine and subtle mechanoreception involving vibrotactile stimuli on the hand for guidance and target acquisition. (2) The second contribution investigates more intense and pressure-based mechanoreception that employs pneumatically actuated air cushions to create immediate pressure sensations. (3) The third contribution on mechanoreception combines the findings of the previous two contributions and explores moving touches and stroke stimuli on the body, as well as their roughness perception in VR. (4) The fourth contribution addresses thermoception where the effects of cold and warm temperatures on the body are investigated within a VR environment. (5) The fifth contribution focuses on proprioception and kinesthesia and examines concepts for kinesthetic actuations that can evoke flexion and extension of body joints. (6) In a further contribution, a novel rapid prototyping platform is presented that considers the specific requirements for haptic actuations of the somatosensory system.
