Eigenmode decomposition of the near-field enhancement in localized surface plasmon resonances of metallic nanoparticles

description: I present a direct and intuitive eigenmode method that evaluates the near-field enhancement around the surface of metallic nanoparticles of arbitrary shape. The method is based on the boundary integral equation in the electrostatic limit. Besides the nanoparticle polarizability and the far-field response, the near-field enhancement around nanoparticles can be also conveniently expressed as an eigenmode sum of resonant terms. Moreover, the spatial configuration of the near-field enhancement depends explicitly on the eigenfunctions of both the BIE integral operator and of its adjoint. It is also established a direct physical meaning of the two types of eigenfunctions. While it is well known that the eigenfunctions of the BIE operator are electric charge modes, it is less known and used that the eigenfunctions of the adjoint represent the electric potential generated by the charge modes. For the enhanced spectroscopies the present method allows an easy identification of hot spots which are located in the regions with maximum charge densities and/or regions with fast variations of the electric potential generated by the charge modes on the surface. This study also clarifies the similarities and the differences between the far-field and the near-field behavior of plasmonic systems. Finally, the analysis of concrete examples like the nearly touching dimer, the prolate spheroid, and the nanorod illustrate some modalities to improve the near-field enhancement.

description: An expression for the partial frequency redistribution (PRD) matrix for line scattering in a two-term atom, which includes the J-state interference between its fine structure line components is derived. The influence of collisions (both elastic and inelastic) and an external magnetic field on the scattering process is taken into account. The lower term is assumed to be unpolarized and infinitely sharp. The linear Zeeman regime in which the Zeeman splitting is much smaller than the fine structure splitting is considered. The inelastic collision rates between the different levels are included in our treatment. We account for the depolarization caused by the collisions coupling the fine structure states of the upper term, but neglect the polarization transfer between the fine structure states. When the fine structure splitting goes to zero, we recover the redistribution matrix that represents the scattering on a two-level atom (which exhibits only m-state interference --- namely the Hanle effect). The way in which the multipolar index of the scattering atom enters into the expression for the redistribution matrix through the collisional branching ratios is discussed. The properties of the redistribution matrix are explored for a single scattering process for an L=0 to 1 to 0 scattering transition with S=1/2 (a hypothetical doublet centered at 5000 A and 5001 A). Further, a method for solving the Hanle radiative transfer equation for a two-term atom in the presence of collisions, PRD, and J-state interference is developed. The Stokes profiles emerging from an isothermal constant property medium are computed.

description: New benzimidazolium salts were synthesized as N-heterocyclic carbene precursors. These NHC precursors were metallated with Cu2O and CuI in acetone and water under reflux to give novel copper(I) complexes. The structures of these benzimidazolium salts and copper(I) complexes were characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and LC–MS spectroscopic techniques. The (NHC)Cu(I) complexes 3–4 were tested against MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cells, Escherichia coli, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Candida albicans microorganisms, Leishmania major promastigotes and amastigotes, Toxoplasma gondii parasites and against Vero cell line in vitro. The synthesized copper NHC carbene complex 4b (1,3-bis(2,3,4,5,6-pentamdthylbenzyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)copper(I) chloride) was the most active against MCF7 cancer cells (half growth Inhibition Concentrations (IC50) = 0.3 µg mL−1), as well as the most potent antimicrobial against E. coli (inhibition zone (IZ) = 23.3 mm), MRSA (IZ = 25.5 mm) and C. albicans (IZ = 28.5 mm) besides its antileishmanial activities against L. major promastigotes and amastigotes (IC50 < 0.04 µg mL−1). Compound 4c (1,3-bis(4-(tert-butyl)benzyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imida-zol-2-yl)copper(II) bromide) is the most potent anticancer against MDA-MB-231 cancer cells IC50 = 0.4 µg mL−1). Compound 4e (5,6-dimethyl-1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)copper(I) chloride) is the best suitable antitoxoplasmal drug candidate due to its SI of 16.5. These candidates need further study to identify mode of action and drug standardization.
LQCD at non zero isospin chemical potential

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Systems of non-zero isospin chemical potential are studied from a canonical approach by computing correlation functions with the quantum numbers of $N π^+$'s ($C_{N π}$). In order to reduce the number of contractions required in calculating $C_{N π}$ for a large $N$ in the Wick's theorem, we constructed a few new algorithms. With these new algorithms, systems with isospin charge up to 72 are investigated on three anisotropic gauge ensembles with a pion mass of $390 \rm{MeV}$, and with lattice spatial extents $L \sim {2.0, 2.5, 3.0} \rm{fm}$. The largest isospin density of $ρ_I \approx 9 \rm{fm}^{-3}$ is achieved in the smallest volume, and the QCD phase diagram is investigated at a fixed low temperature at varying isospin chemical potentials, $m_π \le μ_I \le 4.5 m_π$. By investigating the behaviour of the extracted energy density of the system at different isospin chemical potentials, we numerically identified the conjectured transition to a Bose-Einstein condensation state at $μ_I \ge m_π$.

description: We consider holographic cosmological models of dark energy in which the infrared cutoff is set by the Hubble's radius. We show that any interacting dark energy model with a matter like term able to alleviate the coincidence problem (i.e., with a positive interaction term, regardless of its detailed form) can be recast as a noninteracting model in which the holographic parameter evolves slowly with time. Two specific cases are analyzed. First, the interacting model presented in [1] is considered, and its corresponding noninteracting version found. Then, a new noninteracting model, with a specific expression of the time-dependent holographic parameter, is proposed and analyzed along with its corresponding interacting version. We constrain the parameters of both models using observational data, and show that they can be told apart at the perturbative level.

description: We study gravitational waves emitted in the late inspiral stage of binary neutron stars by analyzing the waveform obtained in numerical-relativity simulations. For deriving the physical gravitational waveforms from the numerical results, the resolution extrapolation plays an essential role for our simulations. The extrapolated gravitational-wave phases are compared with those calculated in the post-Newtonian (PN) and effective-one-body (EOB) formalisms including corrections of tidal effects. We show that the extrapolated gravitational-wave phases in numerical relativity agree well with those by the PN and EOB calculations for most of the inspiral stage except for a tidally-dominated, final inspiral stage, in which the PN and EOB results underestimate the tidal effects. Nevertheless, the accumulated phase difference between our extrapolated results and the results by the PN/EOB calculations is at most 1--3 radian in the last 15 cycles.

description: We consider the non-abelian self-dual two-form theory arXiv:1203.4224 and find new exact solutions. Our solutions are supported by Yang-Mills (anti)instantons in 4-dimensions and describe wave moving in null directions. We argue and provide evidence that these instanton string solutions correspond to M-wave (MW) on the worldvolume of multiple M5-branes. When dimensionally reduced on a circle, the MW/M5 system is reduced to the D0/D4 system with the D0-branes represented by the Yang-Mills instanton of the D4-branes Yang-Mills gauge theory. We show that this picture is precisely reproduced by the dimensional reduction of our instanton string solutions.

Nonlinear shock acceleration and gamma-ray emission from Tycho and Kepler

description: We apply the non-linear diffusive shock acceleration theory in order to describe the properties of two supernova remnants, SN 1572 (Tycho) and SN 1604 (Kepler). By analyzing the multi-wavelength spectra, we infer that both Tycho's and Kepler's forward shocks are accelerating protons up to ~500 TeV, channeling into cosmic rays more than 10 per cent of their kinetic energy. We find that the streaming instability induced by cosmic rays is consistent with the X-ray morphology of the remnants, indicating a very efficient magnetic field amplification (up to ~300 microG). In the case of Tycho we explain the gamma-ray spectrum from the GeV up to the TeV band as due to pion decay produced in nuclear collisions by accelerated nuclei scattering against the background gas. On the other hand, due to the larger distance, the gamma-ray emission from Kepler is not detected, being below the sensitivity of the present detectors, but it should be detectable by the Cerenkov Telescope Array.

Physiological and growth regulatory mechanisms for drought tolerance and poststress recovery in cool-season turfgrass
Creators: name: Chapman, Cathryn Rose
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Drought stress caused by lack of rainfall or reduced water availability for irrigation is a major factor limiting the growth and productivity of many different plant species. Global climate changes involving increased frequencies of drought stress with extended periods of water-use restrictions are a major concern for overall plant health. Additionally, drought stress and other elements of climate change, such as elevated atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, can have interactive effects that may impact plant growth. Cool-season grasses, such as creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.), tall fescue [Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort], or Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), that are utilized on lawns, golf courses, and sports fields can be severely damaged when exposed to prolonged periods of drought, often resulting in turfgrass dormancy or permanent loss of turfgrass stands. Rapid turfgrass recovery from drought stress is crucial once rewatering can occur. Therefore, effective management practices that improve drought stress tolerance during periods of limited water supply or promote rapid turf stand re-establishment and optimal growth once normal watering conditions are restored are essential to turfgrass survival. Thus, more information is needed regarding the physiological and metabolic mechanisms behind drought stress tolerance and postdrought recovery of turfgrass in order to maintain sustainable turfgrass systems. The goals of the dissertation research were to understand the mechanisms controlling drought tolerance and recuperative ability of cool-season turfgrasses and to identify effective organic molecules or metabolites (collectively plant growth regulators) that promote drought survival and postdrought recovery. Studies were conducted that would explore 1) the effects of elevated CO₂ for drought survival and postdrought recovery in three turfgrass species differing in growth habit, 2) application of amino acids, inorganic nitrogen, or hormones for the regeneration of new tillers from the crown and daughter plants from stolon nodes in creeping bentgrass, and 3) metabolic factors (hormones and metabolites) controlling postdrought regrowth from plant organs containing meristematic tissues. This research can help shed more light on developing future turfgrass management programs, where applications of growth-promoting amino acids or hormones might be an effective approach to enhancing rapid re-establishment of turf stands during postdrought recovery in areas with limited irrigation or rainfall.

description: We investigate some phenomenological aspects of the holographic models based on the tachyon Dirac-Born-Infeld action in the AdS space-time. These holographic theories model strongly interacting fermions and feature dynamical mass generation and symmetry breaking. We show that they can be viewed as models of holographic walking technicolor and compute the Peskin-Takeuchi S-parameter and masses of lightest technimesons for a variety of the tachyon potentials. We also investigate the phase structure at finite temperature and charge density. Finally, we comment on the holographic Wilsonian RG in the context of holographic tachyon DBI models.

Processing, properties and bonding of graphene-reinforced polymer composites prepared by melt processing
Creators: name: Elsaadany, Alyaa
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Our research group has developed an in-situ process for exfoliating graphite to graphene in molten polymers. The rapid development of polymer matrix composites (PMCs) in the past several decades is fueled by a focus on light-weighting technologies to meet fuel efficiency standards in the transportation and defense industries. Early work with polyethylene has demonstrated promising mechanical properties, as has subsequent work with engineering resins such as polyether ether ketone (PEEK). My main hypothesis is that this technology can be further enhanced by selecting polymers with superior coordination potential within their structure, such as the polar oxygen groups in polyethylene terephthalate and the phenyl groups in polyphenylene sulfide. By processing these polymers with the in-situ exfoliation process with graphite -- as well as a simple polymer without such polarity, e.g. polypropylene, as a control -- I will be able to assess the role of polymer chemistry on the exfoliation process as well as on the mechanical properties of the extruded composites. Characterization of these composites will be conducted with conventional mechanical property test procedures and the chemical and physical nature of the composites will be assessed by electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and other essential techniques, as required. The potentially enhanced properties of these new composites, as well as the improved chemical understanding of the interaction between polymers and graphite emerging from this work will enable composite resins to be produced of great utility to industrial applications.

Such vector solitons consist of two components originating from different transmission bands. By simulating the full nonlinear Maxwell equations (MEs), we demonstrate the diffractionless propagation of vector PLSs and their discrete diffraction when only one component is present. Their subwavelength size characteristics and the influences of metallic losses are also studied.

description: We compare different coarse-grained models for star polymers. We find that phenomenological models inspired by the Daoud-Cotton model reproduce quite poorly the thermodynamics of these systems, even if the potential is assumed to be density dependent, as done in the analysis of experimental results. We also determine the minumum value fc of the functionality of the star polymer for which a fluid-solid transition occurs. By applying the Hansen-Verlet criterion we find 35 < fc < 40. This result is confirmed by an analysis based on the modified (reference) hypernetted chain method and is qualitatively consistent with previous work.

description: What, exactly, is mobilized in terms like biological and genetic that makes them recognizably equivalent to natural? To understand how this mobilization works, the present work sought insight into how the idea of an ordering Nature forms part of causal explanations for social practices and identity categories, and analyzed how those explanations relate to the temporal structure at the core of the conception of an ordering Nature. The work argues that naturalistic explanations implicitly rely on a conception of Nature as an ordering entity structured by a dual temporality. This dual temporality makes it possible for us to understand Nature simultaneously as eternal and of the moment; as continuous and temporally-unlimited ordering yet, always instantiated in temporally-limited, transient units. The work further argues that this temporal duality can be identified in other concepts, elements, or relations that have come to represent and be equivalent to ordering Nature, and which are often invoked as self-evident stand-ins for Nature or Natural causality. As which elements and concepts act as equivalents of Nature changes according to context, the dual temporality remains implicit in their conceptualization, granting continuity and renewed currency to ordering Nature. The work identifies some such equivalents and analyze how they have been connected to the classification of bodies in the period bookended by the early Spanish colonization of the Américas in sixteenth century and mid-twentieth century gene theory. The analysis shows a viable genealogical line of contemporary notions of genetics as the source of life’s organization, and of ordering Nature as constitutive of a way of thinking about bodies as determined by Nature from within. The work highlights a shift in emphasis during this historical period, from a main concern with environmental interactions and relations of proximity, to a central concern with the materials and mechanisms located in bodies. Through analysis of the role of ordering Nature in this shift, the work argues that the apparent locus of the ordering action of Nature changed, increasingly zooming into the bodies of living beings, and moving from determining bodies through external, environmental interactions – through an action “from without” – to determining them through an action from within.

description: The 1970s in West Germany were a tumultuous decade: Terrorist groups declared war on the political and economic elites, tabloids created a widespread sense of insecurity, and the government developed an intrusive surveillance apparatus by adopting emerging technologies. Focusing on this pivotal decade, this project investigates how early digital surveillance enters film and literature.Two structures are at the center of my analysis: grids and networks. Grids, whether used on maps or in databases, are static. They are tools for ruling spaces. In contrast, networks ceaselessly establish connections. They undermine regulatory structures. In the 1970s the West German police force undergoes a drastic change: Analog files are digitized, and a comprehensive database is put in place. For the first time, network technology was used for surveillance on a national scale. Grids and networks, I argue, become structures through which the novel make-up of the digital surveillance apparatus is rendered subject to debate within the fictional realm.Four works are central to my analysis: In Volker Schlöndorff and Margarethe von Trotta’s film Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum (The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum, 1975) I read architectonic grids as an extension of the intrusive investigation to which the protagonist Blum is subjected. In Friedrich Christian Delius’ novel Ein Held der inneren Sicherheit (A Domestic Security Hero, 1981) rhizomatic structures, such as hives of insects, enter the grids of corporate high-rises that were targeted by terrorists. Delius’ novel Himmelfahrt eines Staatsfeindes (Ascension of an Enemy of the State, 1992) closely engages with governmental surveillance in describing a network of apparti collecting information in an all-encompassing database. And Rainald Goetz’ novel Kontrolliert (Controlled, 1988) is permeated by rhizomatic structures that defy grids’ inherent compartmentalization. Goetz describes surveillance as a process of transcribing. The grids and networks of these cinematic and literary works negotiate a new concept of surveillance that is tied to the interception of networks to collect information on the entire West German population.

description: Η εργασία αυτή έχει ως αντικείμενο τον σχεδιασμό και εν συνεχεία την ανάλυση με χρήση πεπερασμένων στοιχείων του πλαισίου ενός διθέσιου ηλεκτροκίνητου αυτοκινήτου πόλης. Αρχικά πραγματοποιήθηκε βιβλιογραφική έρευνα προκειμένου να προσδιοριστούν οι διάφοροι τύποι πλαισίων που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν κατά καιρούς από την αυτοκινητοβιομηχανία, τα διάφορα υλικά κατασκευής καθώς και οι υπόλοιπες παράμετροι που εμπλέκονται στην κατασκευή ενός πλαισίου αυτοκινήτου. Επιπλέον, ερευνήθηκαν τα μοντέλα αυτοκινήτων που ήδη υπάρχουν στην αγορά προκειμένου να προσδιοριστούν με σαφήνεια οι προδιαγραφές του πλαισίου που πρόκειται να σχεδιαστεί και να μελετηθεί.
Με βάση τις πληροφορίες αυτές προκύπτει ο τύπος πλαισίου και τα υλικά κατασκευής που θα χρησιμοποιηθούν, ενώ ταυτόχρονα προσδιορίζονται και οι προδιαγραφές ασφαλείας που πρέπει να πληροί το νέο όχημα. Ακολουθεί το στάδιο του σχεδιασμού του πλαισίου έχοντας ως βασικούς στόχους: 1) την απλότητα στην κατασκευή, 2) την ευκολία επεξεργασίας και εύρεσης των υλικών και 3) την υψηλή ακαμψία και ασφάλεια που θα πρέπει αυτό να παρέχει στους επιβαίνοντες. Στην συνέχεια γίνεται ανάλυση των δυναμικών φορτίσεων/τάσεων που δέχεται το πλαίσιο με χρήση εξειδικευμένου λογισμικού που χρησιμοποιεί τη μέθοδο των Πεπερασμένων Στοιχείων. Έπειτα επαναλαμβάνεται η διαδικασία μέσω της οποίας προκύπτουν τα σημεία που παρουσιάζουν ατέλειες τα οποία στη συνέχεια επανασχεδιάζονται προκειμένου να προκύψει το τελικό σχέδιο που ικανοποιεί τις προδιαγραφές και τους στόχους που τέθηκαν.

Massnahmen zur Umsetzung der Ortskernentwicklung in der Gemeinde Schwyz

description: Eine der Voraussetzungen, dass sich die Siedlungsentwicklung stärker nach innen richtet, sind belebte Zentren mit einer hohen Siedlungsqualität. In vielen historischen Ortskernen macht sich jedoch ein grundlegender Strukturwandel bemerkbar, welcher zu einem Attraktivitätsverlust führt. Läden schliessen oder ziehen weg, Erdgeschosse stehen leer und das öffentliche Leben nimmt ab. Die Zentrumsfunktionen sind dadurch insbesondere in den kleineren Ortskernen gefährdet, was zu negativen Auswirkungen auf die Siedlungsqualität von ganzen Gemeinden führt. Von diesen Problemen ist auch die Gemeinde Schwyz betroffen, welche mit ihren vier Ortskernen Schwyz, Seewen, Ibach und Rickenbach als Untersuchungsperimeter für diese Arbeit gewählt wurde. Bei der Übersicht und Lagebeurteilung hat sich gezeigt, dass der Strukturwandel auch in der Gemeinde Schwyz stattgefunden hat und die Aufenthalts- und Wohnqualität in den Ortskernen zum Teil mangelhaft ist. Die grösste Herausforderung für die Gemeinde Schwyz stellt dabei das hohe MIV-Aufkommen dar, welches zu starken Immissionen im Siedlungsgebiet führt. Eine Analyse zur Nahversorgungssituation hat aufgezeigt, dass in einem grossen Teil des Siedlungsgebiets der Gemeinde Schwyz ein grundlegendes Versorgungsangebot in Wohnortnähe vorhanden ist. Der Ortskern von Schwyz weist zudem ein breites Angebot an Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Gastronomie und Dienstleistungen auf. Mit einer Abschätzung zum vorhandenen Einwohner- und Beschäftigtenpotenzial konnte herausgefunden werden, dass der Druck zur Siedlungsentwicklung nach innen, aufgrund der zahlreichen vorhandenen Flächenpotenziale, kaum vorhanden ist. Damit besteht die Gefahr, dass die Ortskerne weiter vernachlässigt werden. Um den Herausforderungen zu begegnen, wurde ein Konzept zur Stärkung der Ortskerne in der Gemeinde Schwyz erarbeitet. Dieses fokussiert sich darauf, die Siedlungsqualität der Gemeinde durch eine Verdichtung in Ortskernnähe, einer siedlungsverträglichen Verkehrsabwicklung und einer Stärkung der Zentrumsfunktionen der Ortskerne zu erhöhen. Für die detaillierte Bearbeitung und Anwendung des Konzepts wurde der Ortskern der Filiale Seewen als Vertiefungsperimeter gewählt, da dieser über das grösste Entwicklungspotenzial in der Gemeinde Schwyz verfügt. Das erarbeitete Konzept sieht vor, auf dem Bahnhofsareal in Seewen ein neues Zentrum zu schaffen, welches die wichtigen Zentrumsfunktionen für das Umfeld übernehmen kann. Dazu wurde unter anderem vorgeschlagen ein Begegnungsort in Form eines Platzes mit einer hohen Aufenthaltsqualität zu errichten, die Belastung der Bahnhofstrasse mit einem Tempo-30-Konzept zu reduzieren und die Entwicklungspotenziale in Fussdistanz zum Bahnhofsareal zu nutzen. Die dazu erarbeiteten Massnahmen mit Kostenschätzungen haben aufgezeigt, dass mit einem vertretbaren Aufwand die Grundvoraussetzungen für eine zukunftsfähige Ortskernentwicklung geschaffen werden können.
Welfare state structure, inequality, and public attitudes towards progressive taxation

description: Recent research indicates that while higher tax levels are politically unpopular, greater tax progressivity is not. However, there remain unanswered questions regarding public support for more progressive taxation. In particular, little is known about how individual attitudes towards tax progressivity are affected by their institutional context. Building on existing theories of redistribution, this article develops the argument that the structure of the welfare state shapes public attitudes towards progressive taxation—support for progressive taxation among both average and high-income households is undermined by ‘pro-poor’ welfare spending. We support our argument with a cross-sectional analysis of rich democracies, interacting household income with country-level indicators of welfare state structure. In doing so, we contribute a micro-level explanation for the paradoxical macro-level phenomenon that larger, more redistributive welfare states tend to be financed by less progressive tax systems.

description: Der raumplanerischen Strategie der Innen- vor Aussenentwicklung folgend wird untersucht, wie der Stadtflucht von jungen Familien entgegengewirkt und die Kinderfreundlichkeit in dichter besiedelten Räumen erhöht werden kann. Die derzeitige Situation wird beispielhaft am Untersuchungsraum Limmattal analysiert. Um den Aktionsraum der Kinder abzuschätzen und zu vergleichen und um Vertiefungsgemeinden auszuwählen wird eine eigene Methode entwickelt. Der Gemeindeverwaltung der Gemeinden Dietikon und Unterengstringen werden Massnahmen vorgeschlagen, die auf Erkenntnissen aus Schülerumfragen basieren. Diese orientieren sich an Best Practice-Beispielen und sind mit einem vernünftigen zeitlichen und finanziellen Aufwand umsetzbar. Die erabeiteten Vorschläge werden zum Schluss dem Stadtplaner von Dietikon unterbreitet und mit ihm diskutiert.
Innenentwicklungspotentiale entlang der Ausbaustrecke Karlsruhe - Basel

description: Die Rheintalbahn wird zwischen Karlsruhe und Basel viergleisig ausgebaut. Im Zusammenhang mit dem Ausbau geht eine Umstrukturierung der Eisenbahngüterverkehrsflächen einher. In einem ersten Konzentrationsentscheid wird festgestellt, dass in Anbetracht der anhaltenden Nachfrage nach Siedlungsflächen zu untersuchen ist, ob und in welchem Umfang bestehende Güterverkehrsinfrastrukturen für Innenentwicklung genutzt werden können. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit wird für vier Städte der Umfang bestehender Innenentwicklungspotenziale auf Eisenbahn-güterverkehrsflächen erhoben. In einem zweiten Konzentrationsentscheid wird beschlossen, das Entwicklungspotenzial der zuvor identifizierten Flächenreserven im Bereich des Rangierbahnhofes Offenburg vertieft zu analysieren. In der Vertiefung wird ein Vorschlag erarbeitet, wie der Rangierbahnhof umstrukturiert werden muss, damit 6–18 Hektar Entwicklungsfläche abgegrenzt werden können. Weiteres Ergebnis ist, dass die Flächen nicht vor 2039 für neue Nutzungen zur Verfügung stehen. Aufgrund der Lage und Erschliessung wird als Folgenutzung eine Gewerbenutzung vorgeschlagen. Eine Konversion ist jedoch nicht wirtschaftlich möglich, wenn die Umstrukturierung des Rangierbahnhofes alleine aus Verkaufserlösen der Entwicklungsflächen finanziert werden muss.
