Ultrasound alignment of a high weight fraction of carbon nanotubes in a polymer matrix
Creators: name: Homel, Leora
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2018
Subjects: Applied sciences

description: This research introduces a new process to fabricate polymer nanocomposite materials reinforced with an ultra-high weight fraction of aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs). This process is based on ultrasound directed self-assembly, which employs the force associated with a standing ultrasound wave to concentrate and align the carbon nanotubes in a user-specified pattern. In contrast with existing processes, which typically limit fabricating nanocomposite materials with a CNT weight fraction on the order of 1 weight percent (wt.%), polymer nanocomposite materials were fabricated to contain a weight fraction of aligned CNTs in excess of 10 wt. %. The fabrication process, dispersion of CNTs in the polymer matrix, appropriate acoustic wave propagation velocity in the matrix material, and degradation of polymer mechanical properties from exposure to ultrasound stimulation are described. The mechanical properties of these polymer nanocomposite specimens were experimentally measured and it was found that the ultrasound alignment process resulted in specimens that displayed a significant increase in ultimate tensile strength, Youngâ€™s modulus, and moduli of resilience and toughness, compared to specimens including polymer nanocomposite materials with randomly oriented CNTs, and â€œprocessed polymerâ€. The research demonstrates that by combining ultrasound alignment with microwave radiation exposure, the Youngâ€™s modulus and ultimate tensile strength of the polymer nanocomposite material is further enhanced. Specimens were affected differently by microwave radiation exposure, depending on the type of alignment and dispersion used to create the specimen. These observations may guide further optimization of the process.
title: Ein Ständchen für Amaryllis - Untersuchungen zu Theokrits Komos (Idyll 3)
Creators: name: Allesch, Clemens Andreas
Year: 2013

description: Seit mehr als zwei Jahrtausenden inspirieren Theokrits Eidyllia zahlreiche Schriftsteller zur Nachahmung. Besonders das dritte Idyll, der Komos, hat ob seiner zeitlosen Liebesthematik starken Einfluss auf altertümliche wie neuzeitliche Literatur ausgeübt. Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich kritisch mit dem Gedicht auseinander und versucht dem Leser ein umfassendes Bild von Theokrits Dichtkunst sowie seiner Rezeption zu vermitteln.
description: For more than two millenia, Theocritus and his Eidyllia have been an inspiration for countless writers. The third Eidyllion in particular, the Komos, for its timeless theme of unanswered love, has been a major influence throughout the ages, in anitiquity as well as in the modern era. A critical view on Theocritus' poetical technique and his construction of poems like the Komos shall be given in this thesis.
Measurement of neutrino-water interactions using nuclear emulsion detectors
Creators: name: Odagawa, Takahiro
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Measurement of neutrino-water interactions is important for the current and future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. The NINJA experiment aims to measure such interactions using a nuclear emulsion detector called Emulsion Cloud Chamber (ECC). The ECC has a sub-micron position resolution, thus short tracks of low-momentum charged particles can be detected. The momentum threshold for protons can be down to 200 MeV/c.
 From November 2019 to February 2020, the NINJA experiment conducted its first physics run in J-PARC using the T2K high-intensity neutrino beam. To achieve a better understanding of neutrino interactions, we have improved methods of event reconstructions from the previous pilot experiments. In this poster, the current status of the neutrino interaction analysis and expected outcomes will be discussed.

description: The ever-growing energy demand and recent discoveries of vast unconventional oil and gas reservoirs have brought significant attention to shale oil and gas resources as potential game-changers for the petroleum industry and energy markets worldwide. Although shale reservoirs are large in scale and offer the potential for long-lived production, extremely low matrix porosity and permeability, as well as complex heterogeneity, pose major challenges in obtaining economically viable oil and gas. A lack of predictive understanding of microstructure-based heterogeneity in shale rock limits the effectiveness of currently used exploration and production technologies. Hence, addressing the challenges of shale oil and gas exploration and production technology requires an in-depth understanding of microstructural features that control the oil and gas subsurface transport phenomena. A new holistic approach for characterization of multiscale structural heterogeneity in shale, presented in this thesis, couples micro- and nano-X-ray microscopy (micro- and nano-XRM) with focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM). This integrated approach provides a unique opportunity to characterize in great detail the complex three-dimensional (3D) microstructure of shale rock over multiple length scales, from the centimeter length scale to the single nanometers. To explore the practical significance and reach of this newly developed analytical framework, samples from the Woodford Shale and the Marcellus Shale were imaged several times with non-destructive XRM at successively higher resolutions, and then finally imaged with the high-resolution by destructive FIB-SEM serial-sectioning. Subsequently, in order to quantify the evolution of porosity associated with both organic and nonorganic (mineral) matter, the organic- and nonorganic-matter pore networks within both samples were extracted using the FIB-SEM models. The digital rock physics (DRP) 3D image-based characterization revealed the Woodford Shale and the Marcellus Shale samples to be primarily composed of varying amounts of organic and mineral matter. The findings also indicate complex pore systems, both within organic and nonorganic matrices. The pore network modeling (PNM) analysis suggested that pores and microfractures located at the interface between organic and mineral matter were the most abundant pore types in analyzed shale rock samples, and have the potential for better connectivity. Finally, representative pore/fracture networks, for continuum and non-continuum fluid flow studies, were separated and transformed into finite element models for future works.

Year: 2013

description: Aufsichtsratsmitglieder sind meist nebenberuflich tätig, deswegen haben sie oft Eigeninteressen, die mit dem Interesse der Gesellschaft in Widerspruch stehen können. Bloße Gegensätze zwischen dem Unternehmensinteresse und dem Interesse eines Aufsichtsratsmitglieds (oder seines Arbeitgebers, Kunden, etc) sind tolerabel, Konflikten mittlerer Intensität kann zum Beispiel begegnet werden, in dem sich das befangene Aufsichtsratsmitglied bezüglich einzelne Punkte nicht an Beratungen und Abstimmungen beteiligt, dauerhafte Interessenkonflikte führen dazu, dass die Aufsichtsratsfunktion zurückgelegt werden muss. Unter bestimmten Umständen – nämlich bei intensiven, aber vorübergehenden Konflikten – kann ein Aufsichtsratsmandat auch ruhend gestellt werden, das heißt, die Mitgliedschaft im Aufsichtsrat bleibt zwar aufrecht, doch können aus dieser Mitgliedschaft temporär keine Rechte wahrgenommen werden.

description: Mathematical models with interfaces arise in problems from a wide array of applications. Interface problems are especially prevalent in material science, biology and biomedical sciences, and in computational fluid dynamics to name a few areas. The partial differential equations describing these systems are usually formulated in terms of nonsmooth or discontinuous model parameters. Consequently, solutions to these models can also lose regularity near material interfaces. Standard numerical methods designed for smooth solutions, in general and in any dimension, will fail to deliver accurate solutions to many interface problems. Therefore, the major challenge in this area is to design efficient numerical methods that can accurately resolve properties of the solution near interfaces, while also handling domains and interfaces with general shape. In this dissertation, we develop novel high-order accurate and efficient numerical methods based on Difference Potentials for a variety of interface problems. We consider interface models cast in the form of elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations in domains with interfaces. In the current work, we assume that the interfaces are described by smooth, closed curves and do not evolve in time. The numerical methods developed in this dissertation offer several advantages over existing methods in the literature for elliptic interface problems, and additionally, to the best of our knowledge, the proposed methods are the first high-order accurate schemes for parabolic interface models that can treat general interface conditions.

description: Low-water soluble metal fluorides such as magnesium fluoride (MgF2) and calcium fluoride (CaF2) were evaluated for decay protection of wood. Initially, the biocidal efficacy of nano metal fluorides (NMFs) against wood destroying fungi was assessed with an in-vitro agar test. The results from the test showed that agar medium containing MgF2 and CaF2 was more efficient in preventing fungal decay than stand-alone MgF2 or CaF2. These metal fluorides, in their nanoscopic form synthesized using fluorolytic sol-gel synthesis, were introduced into the sapwood of Scots pine and beech wood and then subjected to accelerated ageing by leaching (EN 84). MAS 19F NMR and X-ray micro CT images showed that metal fluorides were present in treated wood, unleached and leached. Decay resistance of Scots pine and beech wood treated with NMFs was tested against wood destroying fungi Rhodonia placenta and Trametes versicolor in accordance with EN 113. Results revealed that mass losses were reduced to below 3% in wood treated with the combination of MgF2 and CaF2. It is concluded that NMFs provide full protection to wood even after it has been leached and can be used as wood preservatives in outdoor environments.

description: Media-related technology can capture attention, leaving the user depleted of attentional resources. However, the theory of attention restoration (ART) suggests that environments with certain qualities can restore previously depleted resources. Previous research has tested ART using a variety of behavioral and perceptual tasks; however, researchers have yet to examine the predictions of ART using neurophysiological methods. I hypothesize that the default mode network, a region associated with internal thoughts, is associated with the restoration process in nature. This exploratory study evaluated the process of restoration using electroencephalography to measure potential changes in oscillatory activity after participants were exposed to a natural environment. Forty-seven (19 males) participants 18 to 37 years in age were recruited from the Salt Lake City area via flyers, advertisements, and word of mouth. In order to assess the effects of technological distraction, participants were assigned to a group that was concurrently talking on a phone during the walk or to a group that did not have any technology with them. Participants in the phone group had decreased recognition memory and increased activity at the theta frequency after the walk compared to participants who went on the walk without their phone. The data indicate that technology disrupts the process of restoration and decreases awareness of the surroundings.

title: Intelligente Effizienzsteigerung in Anbetracht zukünftiger dezentraler und volatiler Stromerzeugung in Österreich
Creators: name: Reiter, David
Year: 2013

description: Um die Versorgungssicherheit im Elektrizitätssektor langfristig zu gewährleisten, muss das Stromnetz zwischen Erzeugung und Verbrauch bei 50 Hertz ausbalanciert sein. In der Vergangenheit gab es dabei diverse Möglichkeiten, um diese Balance zu erreichen. Im einfachsten Fall kamen hier in Österreich weit verbreitete Pumpspeicherkraftwerke zum Einsatz. Aktuell findet jedoch in Bezug auf diese Balance ein Veränderungsprozess mit Auswirkungen auf die Stabilität der Stromnetze statt. Durch steigende volatile Erzeugung durch erneuerbare Energien treten zusätzlich zu den bereits vorhandenen Schwankungen im Verbrauch auch größere Schwankungen in der Erzeugung auf. In der Arbeit werden nun die Umgebungseinflüsse, Rahmenbedingungen und Methoden erläutert, welche dazu beitragen, diese Schwankungen auszubalancieren oder zu dämpfen. Intelligente Technologien wie Smart-Meter oder Smart Grids tragen dazu genauso bei wie diverse Methoden des Lastmanagements. Das System aus Erzeugung, Speicherung und Verbrauch wird durch die digitale Technik immer mehr vernetzt, aufeinander abgestimmt und optimiert. Sämtliche beteiligten Akteure (inklusive der Endkonsumenten) werden immer stärker in den gesamten Stabilitätsprozess eingebunden und können ihren Teil in Bezug auf Effizienz, Wirtschaftlichkeit, ökologische Nachhaltigkeit und zur Versorgungssicherheit beitragen.
description: The electricity network needs to be balanced between the supply and demand of electricity at a frequency of 50 hertz to provide a strategic and long term security of supply in the sector. In the past years, the most important means to maintain this balance were pumped storage hydro power stations in the Austrian Alps. At the moment, however, a change process is taking place that heavily influences the stability of the electricity network. As a result of the subsidization of renewable energy sources, the volatility of the electricity production is increasing. In combination with the occurring volatility of the electricity demand, the network faces stability problems with the risk of sudden blackouts. This thesis describes the regulatory and economic framework, as well as the environmental conditions and methods to balance and reduce these fluctuations. One way to deal with these problems is the technological development of smart meters and smart grids. Another way is to introduce measures in the form of demand side management. The combination of these two measures leads to a connected and interacting information and communication system that automatically coordinates electricity production, storage and consumption. The influence of electricity producers and consumers on the network stability is steadily increasing. Therefore, their contribution to more efficiency, sustainability and security of supply is of great value.

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Haftung für Wege im Sport nach §1319a ABGB. Sowohl Schipisten, Langlaufloipen und Rodelbahnen als auch Klettersteige, Kletterrouten und Mountainbikestrecken können Wege im Sinne dieser Bestimmung darstellen. In einem ersten Schritt wird dargestellt, wann die Vertragshaftung für solche Strecken greift. Danach wird untersucht, wer als Halter solcher Wege zu qualifizieren ist, welchen Zustand diese Wege aufweisen müssen und welche Sorgfaltspflichten den Halter des betreffenden Weges treffen, um einen mangelfreien Zustand herzustellen. Am Ende wird ein kurzer Ausblick auf die Reform des Schadenersatzrechts in Bezug auf die Wegehalterhaftung gegeben.
description: This thesis covers the liability for paths in sport according to §1319a of the Austrian Civil Code. Skiing slopes, cross-country skiing trails and toboggan runs as well as viae ferratae, climbing routes and mountainbike trails can be qualified as paths in the sense of this provision. As a first step, the conditions under which the liability is a contractual liability are shown. Thereafter the thesis discusses who can be qualified as responsible holder of the path, which condition these paths have to be in and what due diligence requirements are imposed on the holder to maintain the paths. At the end of the thesis a short outlook on the possible reform of the Austrian law on damages is given with regard to the liability for paths.

description: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental disability, continue to be affected by the disorder in adulthood. Research shows that many adults with ASD have poor outcomes in adulthood, regardless of intellectual ability or severity of symptom impairment, when compared to typically developing adults or adults with other disabilities. The burden of psychiatric comorbidities may be one of these contributing factors. Several studies have been conducted to evaluate the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity in individuals with ASD. and anxiety disorders are among the most common co-occurring psychiatric diagnoses in adults with ASD. Anxiety disorders are found to impact life outcomes in typically developing adults and it is possible they are also limiting individuals with ASD. Co-occurring anxiety has been widely studied in children and adolescents with ASD, but there is limited research on the prevalence and types of anxiety in adults with ASD. The aim of this study is to describe co-occurring anxiety disorders in a large sample of adults with ASD identified through medical billing codes from electronic healthcare records and in-person assessments of psychiatric conditions. The data on several participants who overlap will be compared to evaluate the validity of using medical billing codes to evaluate health status of participants with ASD. Lastly, associations between co-occurring anxiety and factors of adaptive functioning will be drawn for the potential that co-occurring anxiety may impact oneâ€™s ability to gain full independence. Ideally this study will help close the knowledge gap and provide important information for improving the identification and treatment of co-occurring anxiety in adults with ASD.

Wnt signaling pathway

description: Selective disruption of protein-protein interactions by small molecules is important for probing the structure and dynamic aspects of the cellular network. It can also provide new therapeutic targets. Î²-Catenin of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway uses the same positively charged groove to bind with T-cell factor (Tcf), cadherin, and adenomatous polyposis Coli (APC). The extravagant formation of Î²-catenin/Tcf interactions drives the initiation and progression of many cancers and fibrosis, while Î²-catenin/cadherin and Î²-catenin/APC interactions are essential for cellâ€"cell adhesion and Î²-catenin degradation. In this study, a selective binding site that can differentiate Î²-catenin/Tcf, Î²-catenin/cadherin and Î²-catenin/APC interactions was identified by alanine scanning and biochemical assays.  In Chapter 2, a new peptidomimetic strategy was used to design selective small-molecule inhibitors for Î²-catenin/Tcf interactions. A potent inhibitor was discovered to bind with Î²-catenin and completely disrupt Î²-catenin/Tcf interactions. It also exhibits dual selectivity for Î²-catenin/Tcf over Î²-catenin/cadherin and Î²-catenin/APC interactions in both biochemical and cell-based assays. The study provides a proof of concept for designing selective inhibitors of Î²-catenin/Tcf interactions. To develop a more drug-like compound, Chapter 3 focused on the modification of the inhibitors discovered in Chapter 2. The replacement of the peptide bond with a benzene ring brought up an interesting off-target outcome.

description: We consider procurement of an innovation from heterogeneous sellers. Innovations are random but depend on unobservable effort and private information. We compare two procurement mechanisms where potential sellers first bid in an auction for admission to an innovation contest. After the contest, an innovation is procured employing either a fixed prize or a first-price auction. We characterize Bayesian Nash equilibria such that both mechanisms are payoff-equivalent and induce the same efforts and innovations. In these equilibria, signaling in the entry auction does not occur since contestants play a simple strategy that does not depend on rivals' private information.

description: We study a two-player dynamic investment model with information externalities and provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a unique switching equilibrium. When the public information is sufficiently high and a social planer therefore expects an investment boom, investments should be taxed. Conversely, any positive investment tax is suboptimally high if the public information is sufficiently unfavorable.We also show that an investment tax may increase overall investment activity.

description: During recent decades, there has been increasing awareness of the development of “agritecture” (“agri”culture + archi“tecture”) as a means to transform and revolutionize the food supply of future cities. The different forms of agritecture include building-integrated agricultural concepts such as vertical farms or indoor farms. In this way, urban food production could take place in proximity to consumers while employing so-called “urban waste” products (such as wastewater, waste heat, and organic waste) as valuable production inputs. Although scholars frequently highlight the potential of vertical farming and other agritecture approaches for Asian megacities, there is still a lack of academic research and completed projects related to this field in China. This study uses a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative research in the study location of Shanghai, to reveal the social acceptance of indoor agritecture among consumers and experts. First, to explore the perceptions of consumers, a survey of 713 potential consumers was conducted in Shanghai. Second, these surveys were complemented by 20 expert interviews with academics and practitioners from Shanghai to frame the quantitative research results. Our results revealed that the surveyed consumers’ social acceptance of indoor agritecture and the expectations of the experts are high. Additionally, there is already a high level of demand and a potential market for indoor agritecture in Shanghai. This has been confirmed by the ongoing construction of the first moderate-scale vertical farm and several indoor farms, in combination with the increasing existence of edible landscape approaches and rooftop farms. This development can be viewed as the rise of urban agritecture in Shanghai. The interviews revealed that experts raise more doubts about the economic dimension, whereas its social and ecological dimensions and the contextual framework of indoor agritecture are considered to be positive.

description: The paper studies procurement contracts with pre-project investigations in the presence of adverse selection and moral hazard. To model the procurer’s roblem, we extend a standard sequential screening model to endogenous information acquisition with moral hazard. The optimal contract displays systematic distortions in information acquisition. Due to a rent effect, adverse selection induces too much information acquisition to prevent cost overruns and too little information acquisition to prevent false project cancelations. Moral hazard mitigates the distortions related to cost overruns yet exacerbates those related to false negatives. The optimal mechanism is a menu of option contracts that achieves the dual goal of providing incentives for information acquisition and truthful information revelation.

Subjects: subject: microfinance, group loans, individual loans
subject: 330

description: Microfinance is typically associated with joint liability of group members. However, a large part of microfinance institutions rather offers individual instead of group loans. We analyze the incentive mechanisms in both individual and group contracts. Moreover, we show that microfinance institutions offer group loans when the loan size is rather large, refinancing costs are high, and competition between microfinance institutions is low. Otherwise, individual loans are offered. Interestingly, our analysis predicts that individual lending in microfinance will gain in importance in the future if microfinance institutions continue to get better access to capital markets and if competition further rises.

Subjects: subject: Vertical oligopoly; Vertical Separation; Vertical Integration, Delegation
subject: 330

description: The paper explores incentives for strategic vertical separation of firms in a framework of a simple duopoly model. Each firm chooses either to be a retailer of its own good (vertical integration) or to sell its good through an independent exclusive retailer (vertical separation). In the latter case a two-part tariff is applied. Retailers compete in quantities, goods are perfect substitutes and firms' cost functions are quadratic. I show that the equilibrium outcome crucially depends on the degree of (dis)economies of scale and asymmetry of costs. Two asymmetric equilibria arise, in which one firm separates while another integrates, under conditions that both firms' cost functions exhibit a sufficiently high diseconomies of scale, or extreme asymmetry of costs. Under a moderate asymmetry of costs a unique equilibrium exists in which the firm with the lower degree of diseconomies of scale separates, while its rival integrates. With the degree of diseconomies of scale low for both firms in the unique equilibrium both firms separate.

subject: 330

description: Most prior theoretical and experimental work involving auction choice has assumed bidders only find out their value after making a choice of which autcion to enter. In this paper we examine whether or not subjects knowing their value prior to making an auction choice impacts their choice decision and/or the outcome of the auctions. The results show a strong impact. Subjects with low values choose the first price sealed bid auction more often while subjects with high values choose the ascending auction more often. The average numbers of bidders in both formats ended up being on average the same, but due to the self-selection bias the ascending auction raised as much revenue on average as the first sealed bid auction. The two formats also generate efficiency levels that are roughly equivalent though the earnings of bidders are higher in the ascending auction.
