description: Three dimensional (3D) ion beam lithography (IBL) is used to directly pattern 3D photonic crystal (PhC) structures in crystalline titania. The process is maskless and direct write. The slanted pore 3D structures with pore diameters of 100 nm having aspect ratio of 8 were formed. It is shown that chemical enhancement of titania removal up to 5.2 times is possible in XeF2 gas for the closest nozzle-to-sample distance; the enhancement was ∼ 1.5 times for the actual 3D patterning due to a sample tilt. Tolerances of structural parameters and optimization of IBL processing required for the fabrication of PhCs with full photonic bandgap in visible spectral range in rutile are outlined. Application potential of 3D-IBL is discussed.

description: We use an interferometric time-resolved observation of a femtosecond-laser pulse (800nm/45fs) interaction with glass from 100 fs to 10 ns at spatial lateral resolution down to the wavelength of the pulse. The phase and amplitude images reveal sequence of events after the irradiation of a single ultra-short laser pulse at close-to-threshold intensity when permanent refractive index changes occur. The proposed method is applicable to characterization of the processes induced by tightly focused fs-laser pulses during three-dimensional structuring of glasses and crystals for fundamental studies and optical applications. Generation of carriers, thermal expansion, generation and propagation of shockwaves, and formation of refractive index changes are experimentally observed and resolved in time and space with the highest resolution. Quantitative estimations of the threshold energies of different processes are achieved. The threshold energy of carrier generation is found the same as that of shockwave generation while the threshold energy of refractive index changes was by 40% higher. Application potential of the method is discussed.

Intangible pointlike tracers for liquid-crystal-based microsensors

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We propose an optical detection technique for liquid-crystal-based sensors that is based on polarization-resolved tracking of optical singularities and does not rely on standard observation of light-intensity changes caused by modifications of the liquid crystal orientational ordering. It uses a natural two-dimensional network of polarization singularities embedded in the transverse cross section of a probe beam that passes through a liquid crystal sample, in our case, a nematic droplet held in laser tweezers. The identification and spatial evolution of such a topological fingerprint is retrieved from subwavelength polarization-resolved imaging, and the mechanical constraint exerted on the molecular ordering by the trapping beam itself is chosen as the control parameter. By restricting our analysis to one type of point singularity, C points, which correspond to location in space where the polarization azimuth is undefined, we show that polarization singularities appear as intangible pointlike tracers for liquid-crystal-based three-dimensional microsensors. The method has a superresolution potential and can be used to visualize changes at the nanoscale.

description: The identification and characterization of signal peaks in NMR spectra is a crucial yet time-consuming and error-prone stage in the determination of complex chemical compounds. The introduction of automation in the NMR analysis can ease the workflow while increasing the robustness and reproducibility of the results. Here, we present a novel supervised deep learning method to perform automatic detection and classification of multiplets in one dimensional proton NMR spectra. The method consists of a probabilistic deep learning approach based on an ensemble of deep convolutional neural networks. The training set is composed of a large number of synthetic spectra containing classes of basic nonoverlapping multiplets only. All networks in the ensemble produce the same prediction for basic multiplets, while resonances not represented in the training set cause arbitrary errors that differ across the networks. Therefore, high output variance in the ensemble is an indicator of the presence of overlapping multiplets. Being able to distinguish between basic and overlapping multiplets is a decisive stage. Together with classification within different resonance categories, it helps to perform automated peak picking and coupling constants extraction. We show that our model can discriminate signal regions effectively and minimize classification errors between different categories of resonances. Most importantly, we demonstrate that the network generalizes remarkably well on real experimental proton NMR spectra. The evaluation is carried out through the implementation of a specific statistical procedure for quantitatively testing the ensemble prediction against experts’ annotations.

description: Changes of thermal diffusivity inside femtosecond laser-structured volumes as small as few percent were reliably determined (with standard deviation less than 1%) with miniaturized sensors. An increase of thermal diffusivity of a crystalline high-density polyethylene (HDPE) inflation films by 10–20% from the measured (1.16 ± 0.01) × 10−7 m2 s−1 value in regions not structured by femtosecond laser pulses is considerably larger than that of non-crystalline polymers, 0–3%. The origin of the change of thermal diffusivity are interplay between the laser induced disordering, voids’ formation, compaction, and changes in molecular orientation. It is shown that laser structuring can be used to modify thermal and optical properties. The birefringence and infrared spectroscopy with thermal imaging of CH2 vibrations are confirming inter-relation between structural, optical, and thermal properties of the laser-structured crystalline HDPE inflation films. Birefringence modulation as high as Δn ± 1 × 10−3 is achieved with grating structures.

description: We introduce a deep learning-based deconvolution approach for 1H NMR spectra, developed by leveraging concepts from the field of physics informed-learning, intelligent labeling, and tailored high dynamic range (HDR) spectral preprocessing. Since automation and faster workflows are major concerns in NMR spectroscopy, the algorithm handles uncorrected spectra without strict assumptions on phase and baseline correction as well as line shape. Due to the lack of high quality and consistently labeled experimental spectra in quantities needed to train modern deep learning models, we relied on synthetic spectra creation. Moreover, instead of training with synthetic spectra consisting of single lines, we created synthetic multiples that further supported a realistic deconvolution. We achieved super-human performance on corrected and uncorrected synthetic spectra. Finally, and most importantly, the results on synthetic data translate well to experimental spectra despite the covariate shift. Thus, this tool is a promising candidate for automated expert-level deconvolution of experimental HDR 1H NMR spectra.

description: Direct femtosecond laser photopolymerization is used to fabricate high resolution microscopic spiral phase plates. The total phase change all around their center is prepared to be a integer multiple of 2π for the operating wavelength in the visible domain. The optical performances of the spiral plates are measured and we propose a simple single beam interferometric technique to characterize the phase singularity of the generated vortex beams. The experimental results are compared to simulations and a satisfying agreement is obtained. Potential of large scale fabrication, templating, and smart spiral plate architectures are also illustrated.

description: Within the EFFPVShade project of the ZHAW IEFE PV research group, the effective performance of module-level power electronics (such as power optimizers) in shaded conditions is evaluated and compared to conventional string inverter systems. This thesis illustrates part of the research, including the shading adaptation efficiency, a measure to compare the performance of conventional string inverters to systems with power optimizers in shaded conditions. Furthermore, indoor-laboratory measurements were conducted on three power optimizers (SolarEdge P370, Huawei SUN2000-450W-P, Tigo TS4-R-O). The results show a maximum measured DC/DC-efficiency of 99.5% ± 0.4% (k=1) (P370 and 450W-P) to 99.8% ± 0.3% (k=1) (TS4-R-O). However, such efficiencies are only achieved at a current ratio (Iout/Iin) of kI = 1.0, thus, when the MLPE device is acting as a low ohmic resistance without switching operation. In contrast, in operating points relevant to real-life operation, the efficiencies decrease by approximately 1% to 2.5 %.
In regard to annual PV shading simulation, the ZHAW simulation tool MLPEShade was extended to simulate independent optimizers at a few PV modules and PV plants with halfcut cell PV modules. The results of annual simulations in MLPEShade were compared to commercial simulation tools (PVsyst, PVSOL). The results of the commercial tools 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 main reason for this is the use of the manufacturers’ data-sheet values for annual simulations and thus highly overestimating the power optimizer efficiency.
Finally, based on the annual simulation results of eight shading scenarios, a list of performance-based recommendations for the application of the different PV systems was formulated. The main suggestions include the recommendation that conventional string inverter systems offer the highest performance for conditions with no shading or weak shading (e.g. ventilation pipe, chimney), as they achieved up to 1% higher annual yields relative to systems with optimizer. For residential PV plants with medium shading (e.g. roof edge, tree) PV systems with a string inverter, including independent power optimizers at a few most shaded modules, are recommended, as they achieved annual yield gains of up to 2% relative to the conventional string inverter system. Finally for solar plants with heavy shading, especially with large, distant objects (e.g. buildings), the system with a power optimizer at each PV module offered the highest annual yield gains of up to 4.2 %.

description: Simulation platforms facilitate the development of emerging Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) like self-driving cars (SDC) because they are more efficient and less dangerous than  eld operational test cases. Despite this, thoroughly testing SDCs in simulated environments remains challenging because SDCs must be tested in a sheer amount of long-running test cases. Past results on software testing optimization have shown that not all the test cases contribute equally to establishing con dence in test subjects' quality and reliability, and the execution of \safe and uninformative" test cases can be skipped to reduce testing effort. However, this problem is only partially addressed in the context of SDC simulation platforms. In this paper, we investigate test selection strategies to increase the cost-effectiveness of simulation-based testing in the context of SDCs. We propose an approach called SDC-Scissor (SDC coSt-effeCtIve teSt SelectOR) that leverages Machine Learning (ML) strategies to identify and skip test cases that are unlikely to detect faults in SDCs before executing them.

description: Thermodynamic analysis of energy conversion from light-to-chemical, light-to-electric and electric-to-chemical is presented by the case study of water photoelectrolysis on TiO2 surface. It is demonstrated that at the current state-of-the-art energy conversion efficiency of water photoelectrolysis can be increased ∼17 times by separating the processes of solar-to-electric and electric-to-chemical energy conversion and optimizing them independently. This allows to mitigate a high overvoltage of oxygen evolution reaction with respect to thermodynamic E0O2/H2O = 1.23 V potential as well as spectrally narrow absorbtivity of solar light by TiO2 which determine the low efficiency (∼ 1.0%) of direct light-to-chemical energy conversion. Numerical estimates are provided illustrating practical principles for optimization of the solar energy conversion and storage processes.

description: Three-dimensional (3D) micro/nano-structuring of photo-resists is systematically studied at the close-to-dielectric- breakdown irradiance. It is demonstrated that avalanche absorption is playing a major part in free electron generation and chemical bond breaking at these conditions. The steps of photo-initiation and chemical bond breaking in propagation of polymerization are altered as compared with photo-polymerization at low-irradiance and one-photon stereo-lithography. The avalanche dominates radical generation and promotion of polymerization at tight focusing and a high ∼TW/cm2 irradiance. The rates of electron generation by two-photon absorption and avalanche are calculated for the experimental conditions. Simulation results are corroborated by 3D polymerization in three resists with different photo-initiators at two different wavelengths and pulse durations. The smallest feature sizes of 3D polymerized logpile structures are consistent with spectral dependencies of the two photon nonlinearities. Implications of these findings for achieving sub-100 nm resolution in 3D structuring of photo-polymers are presented.

description: Simple frequency-selective surface (FSS) structures consisting of two-dimensional (2D) triangular lattices of circular apertures with an aperture diameter of about 0.6-0.8 μm and a lattice period of 1.0 and 2.0 μm were fabricated by femtosecond laser ablation of thin gold films deposited on glass substrates. The fabricated samples were found to exhibit spectral transmission bands at infrared wavelengths, and significant surface plasmonic (SP) local enhancement of the near-field near the metal’s surface according to experimental transmission measurements and theoretical simulation by Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) technique. These results indicate versatility of femtosecond laser ablation technique for rapid prototyping of metallic FSS and plasmonic structures.
Thermal and optical properties of the femtosecond-laser-structured and stress-induced birefringent regions in sapphire

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Temperature diffusivity of laser micro-structured regions in sapphire is determined by a temperature wave method with a lateral resolution reduced to ∼10 μm using a directly sputtered micro-sensor and heater. A record high reduction of the temperature diffusivity of sapphire by 12% from its (1.26±0.02) × 10-5m2/s in-bulk value inside the femtosecond laser-structured volumes is determined; in a BK7 glass (∼4.8×10-7 m2/s), a 2% decrease of the thermal diffusivity has been observed. Origin of the reduction is consistent with disorder and scattering of phonons around the laser photo-modified micro-volumes. The stress-induced birefringence is directly measured by polariscopy together with its radial distribution, and azimuthal orientation of the polarization ellipsis near the laser structured regions in sapphire. The maximum birefringence of Δn ≃ 1×10-3 is achieved without crack formation and corresponds to a local stress of ∼1.3 GPa. The stress (and birefringence) decay radially with a single-exponential constant of τR = 24 μm while the azimuthal orientation of the polarization ellipsis is spiraling around the laser structured volume. Such structures are promising in waveguiding and lasing applications of optical vortices where spatial control of birefringence and optical activity are required.

description: Fairtrade producers in developing countries often have a stable business model and substantial growth opportunities. Due to the missing or insufficient finance infrastructure in the respective countries, Fairtrade producers do not have the opportunity to realize their growth opportunities. Although some impact investors address this problem in the area of smaller agricultural companies, the existing financing solutions are lacking flexibility or the barriers (e.g. credit collaterals) are too high. In a primary study, the practicability of a blockchain-based model was analyzed, considering the economic, legal, and technological perspective. Since the feasibility has been confirmed during the primary study, this larger research project aims to develop and implement the model.

description: Nackenschmerzen sind bei Büroangestellten weit verbreitet und führen zu Arbeitsproduktivitätsverlusten. Dies ist nicht nur ein grosses Problem für das Individuum, den Arbeitgeber und das Gesundheitssystem, sondern auch eine wirtschaftliche Belastung für die Gesellschaft.

Die Studie zielte darauf ab, den Arbeitsproduktivitätsverlust aufgrund von Nackenschmerzen bei Büroangestellten zu verringern. Zu diesem Zweck nahmen 120 Schweizer Büroangestellte an einer 12-wöchigen mehrteiligen Intervention teil, welche aus Nackenübungen, Workshops zur Gesundheitsförderung und Beratungen zur Verbesserung der Arbeitsplatzergonomie bestand und ca. 20 Stunden umfasste. Die Arbeitsproduktivität wurde mit dem Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI) erfasst.

Unsere Studie zeigt auf, dass eine mehrteilige Intervention den Arbeitsproduktivitätsverlust bei Nackenschmerzen um ca. 2.5 Prozentpunkte verringert. Die Ergebnisse sprechen für eine Umstrukturierung des physischen und sozialen Arbeitsumfelds sowie für eine Konzentration auf die Verbesserung der Fähigkeiten und der Motivation der Angestellten (z.B. Anzahl Arbeitspausen erhöhen). Beide Empfehlungen können für Büroangestellte, ihre Arbeitgeber und politische Entscheidungsträger bedeutsam sein, da sie eine effektive Nutzung der verfügbaren begrenzten Ressourcen vorschlagen.
Wir haben sehr gute Erfahrungen in der Zusammenarbeit mit den Firmen und Büroangestellten gemacht. Das Interesse an der Studienteilnahme war sehr gross – es wurde eine Warteliste geführt – und die Büroangestellten zeigten sich motiviert (z.B. hohe Trainingsadhärenz).

Zu den wichtigsten Erfolgsfaktoren gehörten die Berücksichtigung des sozialen Umfelds der Büroangestellten (z.B. Interventionsdurchführung während der Arbeitszeit), die Einbeziehung von Interessengruppen (z.B. in der Studienplanung), die Berücksichtigung von Kontextfaktoren (z.B. strukturelle/finanzielle Rahmenbedingungen) und die Anwendung spezifischer Verhaltensänderungstechniken.

description: Siedlungsräume, die nach ökologischen Grundsätzen aufgewertet werden, gibt es heute viele. Dass dabei aber gleichzeitig gezielt ein sozialer Prozess angestossen wird, um das Verständnis für Biodiversität sowie die nachbarschaftliche Nutzung und Aneignung von Wohnaussenräumen zu fördern, ist immer noch eher selten. Das Projekt «Aufwertungen im Wohnaussenraum der Siedlung Hirzenbach der Bau- und Holzarbeitergenossenschaft (BAHOGE)» der Forschungsgruppe Grün und Gesundheit zeigt die Umsetzung eines solchen Unterfangens zwischen 2020 und 2022 in einem offenen, partizipativen Prozess mit der Bewohnerschaft.

description: Surgical face mask usage has rapidly increased in the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This generates vast amounts of plastic waste, causing significant risks to the ecosystem. Thus, this study assesses the potential of using recycled fibre from face mask waste as fibre reinforcement in 3D concrete printing (3DCP) applications to improve printability while reducing landfill waste. The effect of recycled fibre from waste face masks on the rheological characteristics of printable mixes and the mechanical performance of printed elements was evaluated for different contents of shredded face masks (i.e., 1% and 2% by vol). The rheological properties like static and dynamic yield strengths, apparent viscosity, and thixotropic behaviour, along with compressive and flexural strength, were evaluated for 3D printed specimens and mechanical properties were compared to their mould-cast counterparts. Further, the variation in the interlayer bond strength and porosity due to different fibre dosages was also investigated. In addition, a comparative study on the fresh and hardened properties was performed for the printable mixes with polypropylene (PP) fibres and face masks. The addition of face masks significantly improved the rheological properties with good extrudability and buildability for all the dosages. Compared to face masks, mixes with PP fibres showed poor extrudability with higher fibre dosages. The compressive strength was increased by 41% for a 1% dosage of face masks when compared to the unreinforced concrete. Furthermore, the flexural strength when tested along the weaker interface, showed an increase of 74% and 82% for the addition of 1% and 2% face mask content. The interlayer bond strength of 1% face mask content showed 21% improvement and was observed to have the highest surface moisture content. The mechanical performance of face masks and PP fibres are observed to be comparable for 1% dosage. The mechanical properties of printed and mould-cast specimens were also observed to be similar.
Investigation of abrasion resistance of geopolymer concrete cured in ambient temperature for pavement applications

description: The viability of eco-friendly geopolymer concrete (GPC) for engineering applications such as pavements requires investigating the abrasion resistance and understanding the improving mechanisms. The produced one-part GPC can be used in various engineering applications showing a 28-day compressive strength between 25–42 MPa and flexural strength above 4.5 MPa. GPC slabs, compared to ordinary Portland cement-based concrete (OPCC), generally experienced higher abrasion. While the abrasion of the OPCC specimen in 28 days was 2.72 mm, the GPC specimens experienced an abrasion between 3.60 and 4.11 mm. The dominance of slag and increasing water content increased the abrasion. It is concluded that the strong connection between microstructural behaviour and macrostructural properties is the key element in GPC performance. Hence, it is recommended that careful attention be paid to the refinement of the microstructure in order to find a GPC that is viable and suitable for pavement and road applications.

Comparative genomics sheds new light on the convergent evolution of infrared vision in snakes

description: Infrared vision is a highly specialized sensory system that evolved independently in three clades of snakes. Apparently, convergent evolution occurred in the transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) proteins of infrared-sensing snakes. However, this gene can only explain how infrared signals are received, and not the transduction and processing of those signals. We sequenced the genome of Xenopeltis unicolor, a key outgroup species for pythons, and performed a genome-wide analysis of convergence between two clades of infrared-sensing snakes. Our results revealed pervasive molecular adaptation in pathways associated with neural development and other functions, with parallel selection on loci associated with trigeminal nerve structural organization. Additionally, we found evidence of convergent amino acid substitutions in a set of genes, including TRPA1 and TRPM2. Analysis also identified convergent accelerated evolution in non-coding elements near 12 genes involved in facial nerve structural organization and optic nerve development. Thus, convergent evolution occurred across multiple dimensions of infrared vision in vipers and pythons, as well as amino acid substitutions, non-coding elements, genes, and functions. These changes enabled independent groups of snakes to develop and utilize infrared vision.

Using a resources-centred perspective and participative methods involving young people, the project will investigate the changes in the way young people use spaces and in the importance they attach to them. Work will focus on the configuration and use options of a selection of urban spaces/places during the different phases of the measures taken to combat the pandemic. The findings will be used for sustainable urban development processes in the context of additional collaboration with urban development professionals. The project will also work with an interdisciplinary sounding board to facilitate scientific discussion of the research.
