description: We developed a simulator to quantify the effect of exercise ordering on both student engagement and retention. Our approach combines the construction of neural network representations for users and exercises using a dynamic matrix factorization method. We further created machine learning models of success and dropout prediction. As a result, our system is able to predict student engagement and retention based on a given sequence of exercises selected. This opens the door to the development of versatile reinforcement learning agents which can substitute the role of private tutoring in exam preparation.

description: Thermal to electrical energy conversation by Seebeck element was enhanced by up to ∼ 50% by dispersing 50 nm diameter Au nanoparticles over the black-Si light harvesting surface at an optimized concentration. Size of Au nanoparticles is the defining factor for the spectral position of the extinction maximum at which the cumulative absorption of black-Si (without nanoparticles) can be augmented resulting in an increase of voltage produced by a Seebeck element. Black-Si with reflectivity of 1-2% over the entire visible spectral range is a promising material for extending the operational range of solar and thermal energy converters into longer wavelength regions. Numerical simulations reveal efficient localization of light energy absorption inside black-Si.

description: Der vorliegende Bericht fasst die zentralen Resultate des Forschungsprojekts ‘Deutung von Wirkung in Organisationen des Sozialwesens’ zusammen. Das vom Schweizerischen Nationalfonds (SNF) zwischen 2019 und 2022 an der Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften (ZHAW) geförderte Projekt verfolgte das Ziel, auf der Grundlage einer systematischen Literaturanalyse und Feldforschung in Organisationen des schweizerischen Sozialwesens Deutungsrahmen von Wirkung in vier ausgewählten Handlungsfeldern zu rekonstruieren und diese aufeinander zu beziehen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen erstmals auf breiter empirischer Basis auf, wie der Wirkungsbegriff in den Handlungsfeldern sowie im Sozialwesen allgemein gedeutet wird. Gemäss den Erkenntnissen orientiert sich die Deutung von Wirkung sowohl in der Literatur als auch in der Praxis an den Klient:innen sozialer Dienstleistungen. Während in der Literatur psychologische und soziale Wirkungszuschreibungen auf der individuellen Ebene handlungsfeldübergreifend dominieren, fokussieren Fach- und Führungspersonen in den Beschreibungen von Wirkung ihrer Arbeit auf psychologische Wirkungsziele. Ökonomische Wirkung wird in keinem Handlungsfeld vorrangig behandelt; von den Mitarbeitenden der untersuchten Organisationen noch weniger als in der Literatur. Darüber hinaus können die Klient:innen (und ihre Angehörigen) als primäre Adressat:innen der Wirkungsorientierung identifiziert werden: Sprechen Organisationen über Wirkung, richten sie sich eher selten an Politik, Verwaltung und Gesellschaft aus, sondern rücken die Nutzenden ihrer Angebote als Stakeholder in den Mittelpunkt.

description: The paper revisits the mechanism of reversible hydrogen evolution and oxidation reactions (HER and HOR) based on detailed thermodynamic analysis and survey of recent literature data. An assumption about the participation of adsorbed hydrogen atoms as intermediates in these processes, which was made about half a century ago and cannot account for a number of recent experimental observations, is critically analyzed. We propose that adsorbed molecular ion (H+2 )ad acts as intermediate in HER and HOR reactions described by the overall reversible process as follows: 2H3O+ + 2e (H+2)ad H2'' + 2H2O. New insights into the surface electrochemical processes taking place on Pt electrode at E ERHE (RHE { reference hydrogen electrode) as well as electrocatalysis of HER at E < ERHE, i.e. under overvoltage conditions, are obtained. The presented concept explains quantitatively the HER and HOR phenomena observed experimentally.

description: Aus vorherigen Projekten war bekannt, dass Verpflegungsleistungen in Alters- und Pflegeheimen aktuell stark auf Arbeitszeiten und die Präsenz von Mitarbeitenden ausgerichtet sind. Mit der zunehmenden Individualisierung der Gesellschaft ist davon auszugehen, dass von zukünftigen Bewohnenden flexiblere Verpflegungsmöglichkeiten eingefordert werden. Zudem ist davon auszugehen, dass sich aktuelle Food Trends auch auf Heime auswirken, was diese dazu zwingt, neue Dienstleistungsangebote zu schaffen.
Das Ziel der vorliegenden Vorstudie war es deshalb, den Kontext Verpflegung und Technologie in Schweizer Alters- und Pflegeheimen besser kennenzulernen und in Bezug auf weitere Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekte besser einschätzen zu können. Folgende drei Fragen standen im Zentrum: Wie könnte eine ideale, unabhängige und flexible Verpflegung in Alters- und Pflegeheimen der Zukunft aussehen? Wie könnten technologische Mittel die Umsetzung dieser Vision unterstützen? Was könnten potenzielle Hindernisse sein, die die Erreichung der Vision verhindern könnten?
Für die Beantwortung der Fragen wurde eine Kombination von Expert:inneninterviews und einer Umfrage durchgeführt und systematisch ausgewertet.
Das Ziel wurde erreicht: Die Datenerhebungen haben einen umfassenden Einblick gewährt und ein grosses Bedürfnis und Interesse offenbart. Dabei wurden diverse allgemeine Aspekte in Bezug auf weitere Forschungs- und Entwicklungsbedarfe offensichtlich. Insgesamt wurde das Bedürfnis nach einer Professionalisierung der Verpflegung in Alters- und Pflegeheimen deutlich. Die Resultate zeigen, dass Technologie als Mittel zur Ermöglichung einer flexibleren Verpflegung als Lösungsansatz gesehen wird, wobei allerdings verschiedene Aspekte berücksichtigt werden müssen. Dabei sollten insbesondere auch für kleinere Heime spezifische Unterstützungsangebote entwickelt und durch Praxispartner angeboten werden.
Die vorliegende Vorstudie, welche verdankenswerterweise auf Initiative des Teams des ZHAW Kompetenzzentrums für Technologien in der Gesundheitsversorgung GEKONT in Zusammenarbeit mit drei ZHAW-Departementen durchgeführt werden konnte, hat also ein grosses Interesse am Thema ausgelöst und gleichzeitig einen umfangreichen Forschungs- und Entwicklungsbedarf aufgedeckt.

description: The START team conducted an analysis of the representation of diagnostics in scientific literature across seven priority disease areas—HIV, TB, Malaria, Anemia, HPV, Non-HIV STIs and NTDs—by systematically reviewing published research on PUBMED. This analysis aimed to identify gaps in diagnostics research, assess trends, and understand how investments in diagnostics align with global health priorities. The key findings on publication trends, disparities in research focus, and areas requiring greater attention were presented alongside recommendations for strengthening the diagnostic research ecosystem, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

description: Direct laser write of volume Bragg gratings with diffraction efficiency (absolute) ∼90% is demonstrated using Gauss-Bessel laser beams in fused silica glass. Axial multiplexing of ∼ 90 µm long segments of modified optical material was demonstrated and thick Bragg gratings of aspect ratio depth/period depth/period ≈234 were achieved with period d = 1.5 µm. Typical fabrication scanning speeds were up to 50 mm/s for gratings with cross sections up to five millimeters made within 1 h time. Potential applications of high efficiency Bragg gratings in a low nonlinearity medium such as silica are discussed.

description: We propose a discrete set of continuous deformation of a circular nanoslit to generate and control optical vortices at the microscopic scale. The process relies on the interplay between the spin and orbital angular momentum degrees of freedom of light mediated by appropriate closed-path nanoslits milled on a thin gold film. Topological shaping of light is experimentally demonstrated in the visible domain. Moreover, all experimental observations are quantitatively validated by a simple model that takes into account the transverse manipulation of the optical phase via the space-variant form birefringence of subwavelength slits.

description: The resputtering of gold films from nano-holes defined in a sacrificial PMMA mask, which was made by electron beam lithography, was carried out with a dry plasma etching tool in order to form well-like structures with a high aspect ratio (height/width ≈ 3–4) at the rims of the nano-holes. The extraordinary transmission through the patterns of such nano-wells was investigated experimentally and numerically. By doing numerical simulations of 50-nm and 100-nm diameter polystyrene beads in water and air, we show the potential of such patterns for self-induced back-action (SIBA) trapping. The best trapping conditions were found to be a trapping force of 2 pN/W/μm2 (numerical result) exerted on a 50-nm diameter bead in water. The simulations were based on the analytical Lorentz force model.

description: Photoelectrochemical, photoelectrocatalytic, and electrochemical processes of silicon anodic oxidation and hydrogen evolution in aqueous HF solution are discussed in terms of thermodynamic stability of Si, oxides SiO, SiO2, and Si surface hydrides. It is shown that photoelectrochemical oxidation of n-type low-resistivity silicon to SiO2 is catalyzed by Si {Mathematical expression} photo-hole formation, whereas in the case of p-type Si, the feasibility of this reaction is predetermined by p-type conductivity. It is suggested that anodic oxidation of Si goes through the stage of SiO oxide formation and its subsequent oxidation to SiO2. Such mechanism accounts for chemical inertness of Si phase in HF solutions as well as for selective, anisotropic, and isotropic etching of Si within E ranges from −0.5 to 0.35 V, 0.35−0.8 V, and E>0.8 V, respectively. Hydrogen evolution reaction on Si surface proceeds at very large overpotential ( ≥0.5 V) through the stage of surface Si hydride formation: Si+H2O+e−→(SiH)surf+OH− (the rate determining step) and (SiH)surf+H2O+e−→Si+H2+OH− . Illumination-related effects of surface reactions relevant to selective and anisotropic etching and nano/micro-structuring of Si surface are discussed.

description: Ziel der Studie:
Diese Studie quantifiziert die Umweltbelastung durch die individuelle Nutzung digitaler Medien durch Schweizer Jugendliche mit der Methode der Ökobilanz (engl.: Life Cycle Assessment). Dabei wird analysiert, welcher Aspekt der Nutzung einen besonders hohen Einfluss auf die Umweltbelastung hat. Ziel der Ökobilanz ist, aus diesen Erkenntnissen Empfehlungen abzuleiten und angeben zu können, welche Handlungsänderungen der Jugendlichen diese Umweltauswirkungen reduzieren können. Bei der Analyse wird nicht nur der Durchschnittsjugendliche betrachtet, sondern auch verschiedene Nutzungstypen (siehe Kapitel 2.2), sodass die Empfehlungen individuell formuliert werden können.
Ein weiteres Ziel der Studie ist die Abschätzung, ob durch die Digitalisierung auch Umweltvorteile entstehen, da Materialien wie Papier für Bücher und Zeitungen oder Fotopapier für Fotografien durch digitale Medien ersetzt werden. Dabei werden zwei Aspekte separat betrachtet: Ist es aus Umweltsicht besser, Geräte in meinem Besitz zu nutzen, um Medien digital zu nutzen anstatt die nicht digitale Alternative zu verwenden?  Der andere Aspekt ist, ob es von Vorteil für die Umwelt ist, ein Gerät zu kaufen, um Tätigkeiten digital zu erledigen und so beispielsweise Papier zu sparen. Eine wichtige Überlegung dabei ist, ab wie vielen ersetzten nicht-digitalen Produkten sich der Gerätekauf lohnt. Beide Aspekte werden im Rahmen dieser Studie betrachtet.

description: Possibility to form three-dimensional (3D) micro-structures in silicone elastomer (polydimethylsiloxane; PDMS) doped with different photo-initiators was systematically investigated using direct laser writing with femtosecond laser pulses at different exposure conditions. Accuracy of the 3D structuring with resolution of ∼ 5 μm and a fabrication throughput of ∼720 μm3/s, which is exceeding the previously reported values by ∼ 300×, was achieved. Practical recording velocities of ∼ 1 mm/s were used in PDMS with isopropyl-9H-thioxanthen-9-one (ISO) and thioxanthen-9-one (THIO) photo-initiators which both have absorption at around 360 nm wavelength. The 3D laser fabrication in PDMS without any photo-initiator resulting in a fully bio-compatible material has been achieved for the first time. Rates of multi-photon absorption and avalanche for the structuring of silicone are revealed: the two-photon absorption is seeding the avalanche of a radical generation for subsequent cross-linking. Direct writing enables a maskless manufacturing of molds for soft-lithography and 3D components for microfluidics as well as scaffolds for grafts in biomedical applications.

description: Introduction: Exergaming – physically active gaming – is cognitively and physically challenging, and, therefore, has great potential for sports rehabilitation, for example after knee injuries. Before it can be recommended for rehabilitation, the biomechanics during exergaming needs to be understood. The occurrence of high-risk movement patterns for knee injuries, an abducted, internally rotated knee at 10-30° of flexion, needs to be monitored [1,2]. This study aimed to compare the amount of knee valgus (KV) and knee internal rotation (KIR) at 10-30° of knee flexion during different exercises of an immersive, high-intensive exergame in healthy athletes. 

Materials and Methods: Kinematics during a 25-minute exergame training (ExerCube) [3] were measured using marker-based motion capture (Vicon) in 18 athletes (9 female, 9 male) without prior knee injuries. The mean maximal KV and KIR angle during 10°- 30° knee flexion were compared between 9 exercises [4] using a two-way within-subject linear mixed model with post-hoc t-test.  

Results: A significantly higher KV compared to the other exercises, was found during the punch to the ipsilateral side of the investigated knee (Mean 8.5° (Standard Deviation 0.04°)) and high-touch to the contralateral side (8.5° (0.1°)). In addition, the ipsilateral KIR of the punch (13.2° (0.9°)), the high-touch (11.7° (0.6°)), and mid-touch (10.9° (1.3°)) were significantly larger than in the other exercises.  

Conclusion: High-touches, mid-touches, and punches result in knee kinematics related to an increased risk of injury in healthy athletes. The inclusion of these movements during exergame-based rehabilitation should be carefully managed and performed in later stages of rehabilitation.

description: We demonstrate the use of plasmonic extraordinary transmission at IR wavelengths for surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy in gas sensing. Gas detection was performed through non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) absorption. The sensitivity of SF6 gas detection is increased around ∼27 times with metal hole array (MHA) microstructures placed on the gas cell mirrors, as compared with non-structured mirrors; an absorption change of 2% per 100 ppm was obtained on a standard commercial pyroelectric detector. Down-sizing of IR-sensors to a sub-1 mm gas cell width, delivering ∼ 40 nM (or 1 ppm) of SF6 sensitivity, can be foreseen with a simple source-detector setup.

description: We demonstrate that black silicon (b-Si) made by dry plasma etching is a promising substrate for laser three-dimensional (3D) micro/nano-polymerization. High aspect ratio Si-needles, working as sacrificial support structures, have flexibility required to relax interface stresses between substrate and the polymerized micro-/nano- objects. Surface of b-Si can be made electrically conductive by metal deposition and, at the same time, can preserve low optical reflectivity beneficial for polymerization by direct laser writing. 3D laser polymerization usually performed at the irradiation conditions close to the dielectric breakdown is possible on non-reflective and not metallic surfaces. Here we show that low reflectivity and high metallic conductivity are not counter- exclusive properties for laser polymerization. Electrical conductivity of substrate and its permeability in liquids are promising for bio- and electroplating applications.

description: The aims of the Color Your Plate nutrition intervention were to increase intake of fruits and vegetables and increase motivators and decrease barriers to consuming fruits and vegetables rich in older-adults who regularly attend congregate meal sites. In this quasiexperimental pilot study, a convenience sample (n=35) of older adults at two intervention and two control sites completed pre- and post-surveys. Following the five-lesson curriculum, intervention participants reported greater intakes of fruits and vegetables (mean change increase of 3.47 ± 2.38 servings/week) and significant increases in days having consumed 4.5 cups or more of fruits and vegetables (p=.0004), incorporation of fruits and vegetables at dinner (p=.0035) and incorporation of fruits and vegetables in all meals combined (p=.0020). Additionally, significant decreases in self-reported barriers such as cost (p=0.0143) and difficulties with digestion (0.0005) and increases in motivators, such as support programs from family, friends, and peers (p=.0082) were found within the intervention group. The results of this pilot study indicate that the incorporation of theory-based nutrition lessons is linked to greater consumption of fruits and vegetables as well as decreased barriers and increased motivation to the intake of phytochemical-rich fruit and vegetables. Researchers interested in increasing dietary practices in older adult populations should consider exposure intervention techniques.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We studied new three-dimensional tailoring of nano-particles by ion-beam and electron-beam lithographies, aiming for features and nano-gaps down to 10 nm size. Electron-beam patterning is demonstrated for 2D fabrication in combination with plasmonic metal deposition and lift-off, with full control of spectral features of plasmonic nano-particles and patterns on dielectric substrates. We present wide-angle bow-tie rounded nano-antennas whose plasmonic resonances achieve strong field enhancement at engineered wavelength range, and show how the addition of fractal patterns defined by standard electron beam lithography achieve light field enhancement from visible to far-IR spectral range and scalable up towards THz band. Field enhancement is evaluated by FDTD modeling on full-3D simulation domains using complex material models, showing the modeling method capabilities and the effect of staircase approximations on field enhancement and resonance conditions, especially at metal corners, where a minimum rounding radius of 2 nm is resolved and a five-fold reduction of spurious ringing at sharp corners is obtained by the use of conformal meshing.

Surface plasmon resonances in periodic and random patterns of gold nano-disks for broadband light harvesting
Creators: name: Nishijima, Yoshiaki
name: Rosa, Lorenzo
name: Juodkazis, Saulius
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We analyze the localized surface plasmon resonance spectra of periodic square lattice arrays of gold nano-disks, and we describe numerically and experimentally the effect of disorder on resonance width, spectrum, and EM field enhancement in increasingly randomized patterns. The periodic structure shows a narrower and stronger extinction peak, conversely we observe an increase of up to (1-2)x10 2 times enhancement as the disorder is gradually introduced. This allows for simpler, lower resolution fabrication, cost-effective in light harvesting for solar cell and sensing applications. We show that dipole-dipole interactions contribute to diffract light parallel to the surface as a mean of long-range coupling between the nano-disks.

description: We present time-resolved studies of the dielectric breakdown using tightly focused femtosecond (fs) laser pulses in glass. Axial evolution of the breakdown and material modifications have been retrieved over the time span from 0 to 1 ns with a 50 fs resolution and ∼ 1 μm spatial resolution using interferometric pump-probe technique. It is shown that even at pulse power slightly above critical Pcr ≃ 1 MW/pulse, the filamentation was limited at tight focusing and the central focal region with resolidified glass was localised axially within ∼ 10 μm; it can be used for the waveguide recording. Mechanisms of light-matter interaction at tight focusing and application potential are discussed. The electron-ion scattering time, τe–i ≃ 1.1 fs, for the glass at electron concentration ne ≃ (4–5)×1020 cm−3 was determined within Drude approximation.

description: Unusual generation of molecular oxygen confined in a void inside the bulk of GeO(2) glass is observed with the Raman spectroscopy. The voids are formed by single tightly-focussed femtosecond laser pulses, converting a host glass material into a high temperature plasma, which explodes creating a void and inducing unexpected phase transformations. The intensity of the 1556 cm(-1) Raman line, that is a signature of molecular oxygen, increases with pulse energy. The mechanism of O(2) formation and material synthesis in plasma is presented and its relevance to fundamental problems of matter at high-pressure and temperature conditions and subject to geo-physical sciences is discussed.

description: The ZHAW IEFE is involved in the performance research of power optimizer systems, which is funded by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy. The ZHAW PV shading simulation tool was compared to commercial tools, which show forecasts of additional yield by power optimizer systems with percentages in the double digits (PVSyst: 7.2% | PVSol: 14.6 %) relative to the SINV system for the heavy shading case. The reason for this is the use of the manufacturers’ data-sheet values, whereas the effectively measured power optimizer efficiency is generally 1.0 to 2.5% lower in points relevant for real-life operation. Finally, according to the results a list of performance-based recommendations for the application of the different PV systems was formulated.
Hydrogen species within the metals: Role of molecular hydrogen ion H 2 +

description: Novel mechanism of hydrogen interaction with transition metals via stepwise reversible dissociative ionization of H2 molecule is proposed instead of a commonly accepted dissociative adsorption. It involves ionization of H2 to molecular ion (H2+)ad on the outer surface of metal phase, its subsequent absorption and dissociation within the metal phase into (H+)ab ions, i.e., absorbed protons, as described by: H2⇄(H2+)ad+e− and (H2+)ad⇄(H2+)ab⇄2(H+)ab+e−. Absorption here is treated as adsorption on the inner surface of the tetrahedral and octahedral voids within metal lattice. The mechanism is based on the first principles and explains consistently the dependence of mechanical properties of metals on the amount of absorbed hydrogen as well as the mechanism of hydrogenation and hydrogen transport through the metals. The proposed dissociative ionization mechanism is well supported by thermodynamic and steric arguments. In the case of noble metals the presented mechanism carries versatile character as it is valid for both gaseous phase and aqueous solutions.

description: We report on the characterization of structural modifications created by micro-explosions at the beam waist of a tightly focused femtosecond laser pulse inside of GeO2 glass. Micro-Raman scattering revealed the presence of structurally strongly modified regions at and around the irradiated sites. For separations of 5 μm between adjacent irradiated sites structural modifications due to a pressure increase are observed, whereas smaller spacings of 2 μm lead to thermal effects and crystallization. The mechanisms and the interplay of pressure and temperature effects are discussed.

Sierpinski fractal plasmonic nanoantennas

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We propose plasmonic Sierpiński gasket, a self-replicating fractal, with structural elements spanning from ∼100 nm to ∼5 µm made by standard electron beam lithography (EBL), metal deposition, and lift-off sequence. Such structures demonstrate light field enhancement from visible to far-IR spectral range and can be scaled up towards THz band. Numerical simulations show that as the fractal order is increased, the optical extinction band broadens from the visible light towards far-IR, achieving a light field enhancement of more than four orders of magnitude in the nano-gap proximity. Such antennas are prospective for IR–THz filter, detection, and emission applications. Fundamental mode simulation of Sierpiński fourth-order fractal gold nanoantenna with 10 nm nano-gap, made by EBL and lift-off.

Three-dimensional micro-/nano-structuring via direct write polymerization with picosecond laser pulses
Creators: name: Malinauskas, Mangirdas

name: Juodkazis, Saulius
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We demonstrate capability to structure photo-polymers with sub-wavelength resolution, ∼ 200−500 nm, and retrieve three-dimensional (3D) structures using a picosecond laser exposure. This alternative to commonly used ultra-short femtosecond lasers extends accessability of 3D direct write. A popular hybrid sol-gel resist SZ2080 was used for quantitative determination of structuring resolution at 1064 nm and 532 nm wavelengths and for pulses of 8-25 ps duration at the repetition rates of 0.2 - 1 MHz. Systematic study of feature size dependence of 3D suspended nano-rods shows that linear power dependence of photopolymerization on the dose-per-pulse becomes dominant at higher repetition rates (≥0.5MHz) while the two-photon nonlinear absorption is still distinguishable at rates lower than 0.2 MHz and shorter pulses (≤ 8 ps). Thermal accumulation defines polymerization when cooling time of the focal volume is larger than separation between pulses. Photopolymerization and its scaling mechanisms, quality, and fidelity at tight focusing of fs-, ps-, and cw-laser radiation are revealed and explained. 3D scaffolds for biomedicine and microlenses for optical applications are fabricated by the ps-laser direct write.
