description: The research treats one of the obstacles related to the management of heritage buildings in the city of Al Salt, Jordan. Many buildings are vacant due to a situation involving co-ownership which prevents achieving a consensus on decisions related to the rehabilitation of the heritage context, and thus impedes the development operations in the city. In parallel, authorities in Al Salt are not used to effectively engaging stakeholders in problem-solving and planning for development initiatives, due to the lack of knowledge of authorities about community participation, and the awareness level of the local community. The approach of the research relies on community participation through engaging different categories, including authorities, buildings’ co-owners, non-governmental organizations, donors, and professionals. The theoretical background investigates literature related to the management of built heritage, community participation, and management of co-ownership, in addition to national and international practices that enrich the research’s approach. Techniques of a high level of participation were used to explore the attitudes of coowners and authorities toward the obstacle of co-ownership, arrive at a consensus on a solution, and then develop a management plan for a pilot building. The management plan considers international guidelines issued by reputable organizations, and the research uses techniques of interviews, mini-focus groups, a consensus meeting, and a participatory planning workshop. Management of co-ownership has been inducted and found applicable through using cooperative associations and transferring shares of ownership into shares in the association’s capital. Multi-purpose cooperatives were proposed to co-owners of the pilot building, and then approved for their appropriateness in solving the co-ownership obstacle. For the purpose of supporting the proposed association, six representatives of more than one hundred co-owners of the pilot building participated in developing a management plan with other stakeholders. The plan included consensus on the problem’s definition, and proposed functions inside the building. It also proposed partners that might be interested in providing necessary fund. Accordingly, the research has evaluated the participation process and developed a community participation toolkit. The toolkit can be used by authorities and other parties interested in handling participation activities with the local community in general, and co-owners of heritage buildings in specific.

description: The quantum nature of photonic systems is reflected in the photon statistics of the light they emit. Therefore, the development of quantum optics tools with single photon sensitivity and excellent temporal resolution is paramount to the development of exotic sources, and is particularly challenging in the THz range where photon energies approach kbT at T=300 K. Here, we report on the first room temperature measurement of field g1(τ) and intensity correlations g2(τ) in the THz range with sub-cycle temporal resolution (146 fs) over the bandwidth 0.3-3 THz, based on electro-optic sampling. With this system, we are able to measure the photon statistics at threshold of a THz Quantum Cascade Laser.

description: In Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ two transitions are observed, the main one to a ferromagnetic state at $T_C = 174$ K and the second one, involving in-plane components at $T_P = 127$ K. We follow their doping dependence as Sn is replaced with In, which causes a reduction of $T_C$ and $T_P$. Importantly, both transitions follow the same doping dependence, indicating a single energy scale involved with both processes.

Year: 2018

description: This research project aims to explore factors that affect the adoption of e- banking in Ethiopian banking industry. The study was conducted based on the data gathered from five banks in Ethiopia; four private banks (Dashen bank, Awash bank , United bank, and Abay bank) and one state owned bank (commercial bank of Ethiopia). In order to achieve the objective of this study and answer the research questions, the researcher adopted mixed research design (both descriptive and explanatory research design).The study was conducted based on the data gathered from the following five banks in Ethiopia; commercial bank of Ethiopia, Dashen Bank, United Bank, Awash Bank and Abay bank. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics by using spss version 20. A research framework developed based on the Technology - Organization - Environment (TOE) framework and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used to guide the study. The study revealed the following major driving factors in adopting e- banking among commercial banks in Ethiopia; technological factors(perceived risk),from organizational factor, human and financial resources , from environmental factors, national ICT infrastructure, lack of legal and regulatory frame work, lack of government support and lack of completion from foreign banks, from demographical factors, gender, age and education level, and finally lack of awareness and lack of trust on the system are major factors. The study recommended banks should launch campaigns to create direct awareness to potential adopters, issues such as fear of the lack of privacy and security, together with relative advantages of using E-banking products and continuously review and upgrade the existing system of security to the level that minimize risk ,while the government should support banking sector by facilitating sufficient ICT infrastructure development and National Bank of Ethiopia, (NBE) needs to urgently establish a comprehensive legal and regulatory frame works on the use of technological innovation

description: The interaction potential between two colloidal particles typically spans a few nanometers. Hence the correct appraisal of the potential in simulations requires very short time steps. However, it is often possible to combine one many-particle calculation with several two-particle simulations in order to estimate a set of aggregation rates. As in the theory of Fuchs, this procedure combines the evaluation of the fastest flocculation rate with the calculation of several stability ratios. This methodology was already tested in systems which exhibit low repulsive barriers for primary minimum flocculation. In this article, the procedure is modified in order to calculate an average rate for secondary minimum flocculation. The technique is then used to estimate the influence of drop deformation on the aggregation rate of hexadecane-in-water nano-emulsions stabilized with sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS).

description: Homoexopolysaccharides (HoEPS) such as α-glucans and β-fructans are synthesized by lactic and acetic acid bacteria. Methylation analysis is an important and well-established tool for the structural analysis of these polysaccharides, however, multiple steps are required for polysaccharide derivatization. Because ultrasonication during methylation and the conditions during acid hydrolysis may influence the results, we investigated their role in the analysis of selected bacterial HoEPS. The results reveal that ultrasonication is crucial for water insoluble α-glucan to swell/disperse and deprotonate prior to methylation whereas it is not necessary for water soluble HoEPS (dextran and levan). Complete hydrolysis of permethylated α-glucans requires 2 M trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) for 60/90 min at 121 °C while levan is hydrolyzed in 1 M TFA for 30 min at 70 °C. Nevertheless, levan was also detectable after hydrolysis in 2 M TFA at 121 °C. Thus, these conditions can be used to analyze a levan/dextran mixture. However, size exclusion chromatography of permethylated and hydrolyzed levan showed degradation and condensation reactions at harsher hydrolysis conditions. Application of reductive hydrolysis with 4-methylmorpholine-borane and TFA did not lead to improved results. Overall, our results demonstrate that conditions used for methylation analysis have to be adjusted for the analysis of different bacterial HoEPS.

description: Many industrial applications require sheet to sheet or sheet to tube joints. The electromagnetic pulse technology is capable to produce these kinds of joints. In literature many examples of sheet to sheet solid state welding between similar and dissimilar metals are presented and analyzed in detail. However, the most of the presented welding applications, which are very focussed on the academic level, are simple specimens for example for tensile test. These specimens are usually very small in their dimensions and therewith capable to be welded with the help of stationary EMPT coils. In contrast to this approach the majority of typical industrial applications demand the ability of manufacturing several welds in different positions on the same assembly application comparable to the spot welding process of an automotive car body. Here several spot welds are realised in a variety of positions by a robot mounted spot welding gun. The use of a stationary coil is no option here. A first step in manufacturing complex assemblies by EMPT was done by PSTproducts by welding a car- shaped space frame. Within this project substantial knowledge has been generated with respect to non stationary EMPT coils and the flexibility of the cables connecting the coil with the pulse generator. The results were transferred into the next step, the development of an EMPT robotic welding head. This report details requirements and possibilities of robot automated EMPT sheet welding with respect to complex structures.

description: Padmanabhan's emergent cosmic space proposal is employed to study the Rastall theory which involves modifying the conservation law of energy-momentum tensor. As a necessary element for this approach, we firstly propose a modified Komar energy which reflects the evolution of the energy-momentum itself in the case of a perfect fluid. After that, an expansion law is invoked to reobtain the Friedmann equation in this theory.

description: Purpose: MODUL is an adaptable, signal-seeking trial of biomarker-driven maintenance therapy following first-line induction treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). We report findings from Cohorts 1 (BRAFmut), 3 (human epidermal growth factor 2 [HER2]+) and 4 (HER2‒/high microsatellite instability, HER2‒/microsatellite stable [MSS]/BRAFwt or HER2‒/MSS/BRAFmut/RASmut). Methods: Patients with unresectable, previously untreated mCRC without disease progression following standard induction treatment (5-fluorouracil/leucovorin [5-FU/LV] plus oxaliplatin plus bevacizumab) were randomly assigned to control (fluoropyrimidine plus bevacizumab) or cohort-specific experimental maintenance therapy (Cohort 1: vemurafenib plus cetuximab plus 5-FU/LV; Cohort 3: capecitabine plus trastuzumab plus pertuzumab; Cohort 4: cobimetinib plus atezolizumab). The primary efficacy end-point was progression-free survival (PFS). Results: Cohorts 1, 3 and 4 did not reach target sample size because of early study closure. In Cohort 1 (n = 60), PFS did not differ between treatment arms (hazard ratio, 0.95; 95% confidence intervals 0.50–1.82; P = 0.872). However, Cohort 1 exploratory biomarker data showed preferential selection for mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway mutations (mainly KRAS, NRAS, MAP2K1 or BRAF) in the experimental arm but not the control arm. In Cohort 3 (n = 5), PFS ranged from 3.6 to 14.7 months versus 4.0 to 5.4 months in the experimental and control arms, respectively. In Cohort 4 (n = 99), PFS was shorter in the experimental arm (hazard ratio, 1.44; 95% confidence intervals 0.90–2.29; P = 0.128). Conclusions: Vemurafenib plus cetuximab plus 5-FU/LV warrants further investigation as first-line maintenance treatment for BRAFmut mCRC. MAPK-pathway emergent genomic alterations may offer novel therapeutic opportunities in BRAFmut mCRC. Cobimetinib plus atezolizumab had an unfavourable benefit:risk ratio in HER2‒/MSS/BRAFwt mCRC. New strategies are required to increase the susceptibility of MSS mCRC to immunotherapy.

description: The different variants of two-stage random sequential adsorption (RSA) models for packing of disks and discorectangles on a two-dimensional (2D) surface were investigated. In the SD model, the discorectangles were first deposited and then the disks were added. In the DS model, the disks were first deposited and then discorectangles were added. At the first stage the particles were deposited up to the selected concentration and at the final (second) stage the particles were deposited up to the saturated (jamming) state. The main parameters of the models were the concentration of particles deposited at the first stage, aspect ratio of the discorectangles $\varepsilon$ (length to diameter of ratio $\varepsilon=l/d$) and disk diameter $D$. All distances were measured using the value of $d$ as a unit of measurement of linear dimensions, the disk diameter was varied in the interval $D \in [1-10]$, and the aspect ratio value was varied in the interval $\varepsilon\in [1-50]$. The dependencies of the jamming coverage of particles deposited at the second stage versus the parameters of the models were analyzed. The presence of first deposited particles for both models regulated the maximum possible disk diameter, $D_{max}$ (SD model) or the maximum aspect ratio, $\varepsilon_{max}$ (DS model). This behavior was explained by the deposition of particles in the second stage into triangular (SD model) or elongated (DS model) pores formed by particles deposited at the first stage. The percolation connectivity of disks (SD model) and discorectangles (DS model) for the particles with a hard core and a soft shell structure was analyzed. The disconnectedness was ensured by overlapping of soft shells. The dependencies of connectivity versus the parameters of SD and DS models were also analyzed.

description: The study focuses on environmental impacts of abandoned urban areas and provides a solution to this problem through scientific methods. Many cities often suffer from lack of sustainable regulations and a successful approach to the urban development. In order to have a successful approach, urban regeneration might prove to be a valid solution for abandoned areas. However, cities still do not have a definite or proper solution for abandoned areas. Therefore, this study conducts a quantitative (Grid Based Model-Hierarchical Cluster Analysis) and qualitative (Strength-Weakness-Opportunity-Threat [SWOT]) analysis with a specific focus on potential solutions for Brownfield areas. The detailed study has placed emphasis on appropriate development for the cities. This practice of urban development has defined healthy and sustainable approaches to the cities. Various analysis techniques included within the newly developed model for abandoned urban areas should provide a more clear-cut sustainable development through new mechanisms. The method employed in the study could bring a new approach to the urban design application. This study includes comprehensive ecological, economic and social analyses through the method proposed as a solution for abandoned industrial areas. This approach extends as far as urban regeneration projects through spatial analyses. The purpose of this study is to explore and provide an approach to solutions for Brownfield areas. The embracing quantitative and qualitative methods contribute to a growing knowledge on the approaches to solutions for Brownfield areas. This scientific approach can lead to a detailed analysis of the issue. This study makes an attempt to incorporate appropriate and sustainable urbanization into urban regeneration experiences in cities. The methods employed in the study could emphasize the right kind of approach to and right implication for regaining urban derelict areas in a theoretical background. Consequently, the study could emphasize an economic, social and ecological approach to abandoned areas in city development. Especially, urban abandoned areas need a new urban development approach, which, in turn, could yield a possible solution in urban regeneration project. In this study, quantitative and qualitative data analyses tailor on urban structure through scientific methods. And finally, to help establish a design decision model on Brownfield areas, this study puts emphasis on the approaches to solutions based on green areas standards in Turkey.

description: Inter-patient variability and the similarity of healthy and leukemic stem cells (LSCs) have impeded the characterization of LSCs in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and their differentiation landscape. Here, we introduce CloneTracer, a novel method that adds clonal resolution to single-cell RNA-seq datasets. Applied to samples from 19 AML patients, CloneTracer revealed routes of leukemic differentiation. Although residual healthy and preleukemic cells dominated the dormant stem cell compartment, active LSCs resembled their healthy counterpart and retained erythroid capacity. By contrast, downstream myeloid progenitors constituted a highly aberrant, disease-defining compartment: their gene expression and differentiation state affected both the chemotherapy response and leukemia’s ability to differentiate into transcriptomically normal monocytes. Finally, we demonstrated the potential of CloneTracer to identify surface markers misregulated specifically in leukemic cells. Taken together, CloneTracer reveals a differentiation landscape that mimics its healthy counterpart and may determine biology and therapy response in AML.

Year: 2016

description: Knowledge management (KM) has evolved as a significant process for managing and exploiting organizational knowledge. However, the literature relating to KM in Army context is limited. The sustainability of an organization relies on the effective use of the organization's knowledge assets and resources. Knowledge is a key asset in equipping defense personnel to accomplish their mission. KM therefore has a major role in assisting Defense to achieve performance excellence. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the extent and effectiveness of KM and indentify factors that influence KM in Ethiopian Defense Force and to indicate possible recommendations for the future implementation. To achieve expected output qualitative research methodology were used, and probability, random and purposive sampling were used because of fitting of the army units geographical settlement. The research found that the extent and effectiveness of KM was very poor, providing significant and important opportunities for improving KM practice in Ethiopian Defense Force. Lack of incentive mechanism, lack of proper policy and procedures, non conducive organizational culture and structure, lack of resources, lack of leadership support, Army members attitude and not understanding the benefits of KM to bring a sustainable change in the organization were identified as major influences on KM practice in Ethiopian Defense Force .The research also identifies shortfalls in KM practice and offers practical recommendations that should improve the accomplishment of the organizational mission and which brings a continuous change by enhancing the appropriateness, consistency, quality and timely activities by empowering individuals and groups .

description: Background: In 2020, school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic forced students all over the world to promptly alter their learning routines from in-person to distance learning. However, so far, only a limited number of studies from a few countries investigated whether school closures affected students’ performance within intelligent tutoring system—such as intelligent tutoring systems. Method: In this study, we investigated the effect of school closures in Austria by evaluating data (n = 168 students) derived from an intelligent tutoring system for learning mathematics, which students used before and during the first period of school closures. Results: We found that students’ performance increased in mathematics in the intelligent tutoring system during the period of school closures compared to the same period in previous years. Conclusion: Our results indicate that intelligent tutoring systems were a valuable tool for continuing education and maintaining student learning during school closures in Austria.

description: Interactions and mergers play an important role in regulating the physical properties of galaxies, such as their morphology, gas content, and star formation rate (SFR). Controversy exists as to the degree to which these events, even gas-rich major mergers, enhance star formation activity. We study merger pairs selected from a sample of massive ($M_* \ge 10^{10}\,M_\odot$), low-redshift ($z = 0.01-0.11$) galaxies located in the Stripe 82 region of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, using stellar masses, SFRs, and total dust masses derived from a new set of uniformly measured panchromatic photometry and spectral energy distribution analysis. The dust masses, when converted to equivalent total atomic and molecular hydrogen, probe gas masses as low as $\sim 10^{8.5}\,M_\odot$. Our measurements delineate a bimodal distribution on the $M_{\rm gas}-M_*$ plane: the gas-rich, star-forming galaxies that trace the well-studied gas mass main sequence, and passive galaxies that occupy a distinct, gas-poor regime. These two populations, in turn, map into a bimodal distribution on the relation between SFR and gas mass surface density. Among low-redshift galaxies, galaxy mergers, including those that involve gas-rich and nearly equal-mass galaxies, exert a minimal impact on their SFR, specific SFR, or star formation efficiency. Starbursts are rare. The star formation efficiency of gas-rich, minor mergers even appears suppressed. This study stresses the multiple, complex factors that influence the evolution of the gas and its ability to form stars in mergers.

description: Background & Aims: Nucleos(t)ide analogues (NUCs) are the standard and mostly lifelong treatment for chronic HBeAg-negative hepatitis B, as functional cure (loss of HBsAg) is rarely achieved. Discontinuation of NUC treatment may lead to functional cure; however, to date, the evidence for this has been based on small or non-randomized clinical trials. The STOP-NUC trial was designed with the aim of increasing the HBsAg loss rate using a NUC treatment interruption approach. Methods: In this multicenter, randomized-controlled trial, 166 HBeAg-negative patients with chronic hepatitis B on continuous long-term NUC treatment, with HBV DNA <172 IU/ml (1,000 copies/ml) for >− 4 years, were randomized to either stop (Arm A) or continue NUC treatment (Arm B) for a 96-week observation period. In total, 158 patients were available for final analysis, 79 per arm. The primary endpoint was sustained HBsAg loss up to week 96. Results: Our study met its primary objective by demonstrating HBsAg loss in eight patients (10.1%, 95% CI 4.8%–19.5%) in Arm A and in no patient in Arm B (p = 0.006). Among patients with baseline HBsAg levels <1,000 IU/ml, seven (28%) achieved HBsAg loss. In Arm A, re-therapy was initiated in 11 (13.9%) patients, whereas 32 (40.5%) patients achieved sustained remission. A decrease of HBsAg >1 log IU/ml was observed in 16 patients (20.3%) in Arm A and in one patient (1.3%) in Arm B. No serious adverse events related to treatment cessation occurred. Conclusions: Cessation of NUC treatment was associated with a significantly higher rate of HBsAg loss than continued NUC treatment, which was largely restricted to patients with end of treatment HBsAg levels <1,000 IU/ml.

description: The magnetization process of a frustrated spin-1/2 spin-dimer model on a square lattice is investigated by means of a sign-problem-free quantum Monte Carlo algorithm developed recently. Rich field-induced quantum phases are discovered. We find two spin superfluids satisfying different symmetries upon layer permutation. There exist as well two solid phases with distinct checkerboard patterns. Besides, two kinds of spin supersolids are observed over a finite regime of magnetic fields. The latter two phases can be stabilized when small but nonzero spin anisotropy is present. Various field-induced transitions among these phases are explored. Our findings may provide guidance to the search of these interesting quantum phases in real frustrated spin-dimer compounds.

description: This study assessed the land management practices and challenges in Addis Ababa City Administration using Akaki-Kality Sub-City as a case study. The study design was descriptive case study. Data was collected from primary and secondary sources. Primary data was obtained through questionnaire from 69 selected respondents using simple random sampling technique, and through key informant interviews. The key informants were selected using non-probability purposive sampling technique. Secondary data involved reviewing relevant published and unpublished reports, operation manuals and other relevant documents. Data collected through survey questionnaire was entered in to SPSS for statistical analysis, and data collected through interviews were analyzed using narrative description method. This study found that the existing land management institutions in Akaki-Kality sub city are characterized by a lack of adequate capacity and unstable organizational structure. It also identified several challenges including, among others, lack of complete inventory of land, changing nature of the sub-city characterized by new expansion/development sites, poor coordination among stakeholders, lack of staff integrity, unstable land use plan, and high staff turnover. The study recommends improving capacity of the land management institutions; and clearly defining role, mandate, and coordination of offices involved in the land management process.

description: The vast majority of Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe) present in the Galaxy is formed by middle-aged systems characterized by a strong interaction of the PWN itself with the supernova remnant (SNR). Unfortunately, modelling these systems can be quite complex and numerically expensive, due to the non-linearity of the PWN-SNR evolution even in the simple 1D / one-zone case when the reverse shock of the SNR reaches the PWN, and the two begin to interact (and reverberation starts). Here we introduce a new numerical technique that couples the numerical efficiency of the one-zone thin shell approach with the reliability of a full ``lagrangian'' evolution, able to correctly reproduce the PWN-SNR interaction during the reverberation and to consistently evolve the particle spectrum beyond. Based on our previous findings, we show that our novel strategy resolves many of the uncertainties present in previous approaches, as the arbitrariness in the SNR structure, and ensure a robust evolution, compatible with results that can be obtained with more complex 1D dynamical approaches. Our approach enable us for the first time to provide reliable spectral models of the later compression phases in the evolution of PWNe. While in general we found that the compression is less extreme than that obtained without such detailed dynamical considerations, leading to the formation of less structured spectral energy distributions, we still find that a non negligible fraction of PWNe might experience a super-efficient phase, with the optical and/or X-ray luminosity exceeding the spin-down one.

A new tagger for hadronically decaying heavy particles at the LHC

description: A new algorithm for the identification of boosted, hadronically decaying, heavy particles at the LHC is presented. The algorithm is based on the known procedure of jet clustering with variable distance parameter $R$ and adapts the jet size to its transverse momentum $p_T$. Subjets are found using a mass jump condition. The resulting algorithm - called Heavy Object Tagger with Variable $R$ (HOTVR) - features little algorithmic complexity and combines jet clustering, subjet finding and rejection of soft clusters in one sequence. While the HOTVR algorithm can be used for the identification of any heavy object decaying hadronically, e.g. W, Z, H, t, or possible new heavy resonances, this paper targets specifically the tagging of boosted top quarks. The studies presented here demonstrate a stable performance of the HOTVR algorithm in a wide range of top quark $p_T$, from low $p_T$, where the decay products can be resolved, to the region of boosted decays at high $p_T$.

title: Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Textile Reinforced Mortars for strengthening reinforced concrete beams at ambient and elevated temperatures

description: Textile reinforced mortars (TRM) are cementitious composites used to strengthen reinforced concrete members, masonry structures and bridges. TRM composites have excellent prospects as strengthening materials as different types of textile fibres can be utilised to reinforce the cementitious matrices. In the last decade or so, there has been a surging interest in TRM with research covering the composite’s behaviour in tension, concrete/masonry-bond, flexure performance of reinforced concrete beams, out-of-plane bending of masonry walls, shear, torsional strengthening of reinforced concrete beams, strengthening masonry and reinforced concrete columns. The present investigation is aimed to evaluate the basic properties of TRM in flexure concrete members at ambient and elevated temperatures as TRMs perform better than FRPs at elevated temperatures. The main purpose of this research was to assess Textile Reinforced Mortars at ambient and elevated temperatures. The current experimental campaign was taken up in two parts. The first part consisted of three sets of experiments. The first set of experiment was on the flexural testing of ambient temperature specimens. The second set of experiment was carried out at elevated temperatures, and a case of transient cum steady state was adopted; that is, the specimens were heated initially followed by a state where the temperature was maintained constant and was subsequently subjected to mechanical loading till failure. Like the ambient temperature case, in addition, a set of temperature ranges was chosen to carry out specimen testing. The third set and the last experimental programme were carried out on specimens subjected to prior heat treatment, allowed to cool down and later, the specimens were tested till failure at 2000C, 4000C and 6000C. The second part of the study is devoted to numerical modelling of the experimental findings from part one. A calibrated Concrete Damaged Plasticity (CDP) model was adopted to model existing experimental data from the literature. The same modelling technique was applied to the laboratory and obtained experimental results to validate the experimental outcomes. Finally, a simple parametric study was carried out. The numerical model and the modelling technique showed potential for future analysis of similar specimens.

description: Soil structure is a dynamic property of soils, which refers to temporal changes in the spatial arrangement of pores, organic matter, and minerals. Its turnover, i.e. the irreversible redistribution of soil constituents, determines essential soil functions including carbon storage. Structure turnover times and its response to biotic versus abiotic drivers have never been quantified directly under natural conditions. We used a novel combination of structure labelling with inert garnet particles and X-ray Computed Tomography to determine structure turnover times of two grassland topsoils with either access or exclusion of roots and fauna > 30 µm. Both, abiotic and biotic factors developed soil structure at a site-specific rate towards a dynamic equilibrium, at which bulk properties remain constant because creation and destruction of structural properties are in balance. Its turnover, however, was mainly determined by macrofaunal activity which varied with environmental conditions. Under dry conditions less favorable for bioturbation, the extrapolated structure turnover time was 33 ± 3 years, while being 16 ± 1 years under moist conditions. Previous studies on organic matter turnover determined in the vicinity of the experimental site showed similar turnover times for particulate organic matter. The similar turnover times suggest that the accessibility of particulate organic matter to decomposers is closely linked to structure turnover, thus highlighting the intimate nexus between structure evolution and carbon persistence in soil.
