description: This work aims to identify some inhomogeneity factors for plane symmetric topology with anisotropic and dissipative fluid under the effects of both electromagnetic field as well as Palatini $f(R)$ gravity. We construct the modified field equations, kinematical quantities and mass function to continue our analysis. We have explored the dynamical quantities, conservation equations and modified Ellis equations with the help of a viable $f(R)$ model. Some particular cases are discussed with and without dissipation to investigate the corresponding inhomogeneity factors. For non-radiating scenario, we examine such factors with dust, isotropic and anisotropic matter in the presence of charge. For dissipative fluid, we investigate the inhomogeneity factor with charged dust cloud. We conclude that electromagnetic field increases the inhomogeneity in matter while the extra curvature terms make the system more homogeneous with the evolution of time.

description: The carbon dimer, the $^{12}$C$_2$ molecule, is ubiquitous in astronomical environments. Experimental-quality rovibronic energy levels are reported for $^{12}$C$_2$, based on rovibronic transitions measured for and among its singlet, triplet, and quintet electronic states, reported in 42 publications. The determination utilizes the Measured Active Rotational-Vibrational Energy Levels (MARVEL) technique. The 23,343 transitions measured experimentally and validated within this study determine 5,699 rovibronic energy levels, 1,325, 4,309, and 65 levels for the singlet, triplet, and quintet states investigated, respectively. The MARVEL analysis provides rovibronic energies for six singlet, six triplet, and two quintet electronic states. For example, the lowest measurable energy level of the \astate\ state, corresponding to the $J=2$ total angular momentum quantum number and the $F_1$ spin-multiplet component, is 603.817(5) \cm. This well-determined energy difference should facilitate observations of singlet--triplet intercombination lines which are thought to occur in the interstellar medium and comets. The large number of highly accurate and clearly labeled transitions that can be derived by combining MARVEL energy levels with computed temperature-dependent intensities should help a number of astrophysical observations as well as corresponding laboratory measurements. The experimental rovibronic energy levels, augmented, where needed, with {\it ab initio} variational ones based on empirically adjusted and spin-orbit coupled potential energy curves obtained using the \Duo\ code, are used to obtain a highly accurate partition function, and related thermodynamic data, for $^{12}$C$_2$ up to 4,000 K.

description: Existence of a minimal measurable length and an upper bound for the momentum fluctuations are the casting reasons for generalization of uncertainty principle and then reformulation of Hilbert space representation of quantum mechanics. In this paper, we study the consequences of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) in the presence of both minimal length and maximal momentum. We consider a simple harmonic oscillator in the framework of GUP by introducing it's energy eigenstates and energy spectrum. Investigation of coherent states for a generalized harmonic oscillator and it's generic behavior are the other topics in our study.

description: Concrete production is a major contributor to global CO2 emissions, driving interest in sustainable alternatives to Portland cement (OPC). As cement is one of the major components which is used for a huge amount in 3D printed concrete, achieving sustainability and carbon neutrality can be particularly challenging. During the past few years, new solutions have been found regarding the use of locally sourced clays, in the shape of limestone calcined clay (LC3) mixtures. Locally sourced clays are abundant and environmentally friendly, making them promising candidates for sustainable concrete. However, as the clays found in the Netherlands and Germany contain a relatively low kaolin content, calcination of these clays to make them reactive is less effective. Recently, the technique of mechano-chemical activation (MCA) has been reported as another promising solution for activating clays, which could even be suitable for low-kaolinitic clays. During MCA, the energy from impacts and friction induces disorder in the material, creating an increased pozzolanic reactivity. Until now, most studies focus on the mechanisms of either MCA or 3D printing, while the combination of these mechanisms into a single mix design holds undiscovered sustainable potential. The increased sustainability arises from the lower transportation footprint due to local sourcing, and a reduction in thermal CO2 footprint compared to calcinated clays, which are also important parameters for economic viability [1]. To combine the knowledge of both MCA and 3D printing, this study evaluates the potential of mechano-chemical activation (MCA) of Dutch clays (Geertjes Golf, ‘GG’) and German clays (Belgern, ‘BG’) for 3D printing purposes, by comparing the locally obtained activated clays with calcined clay ("CC") to evaluate their reactivity.

description: Current models of magnetars require extremely strong magnetic fields to explain their observed quiescent and bursting emission, implying that the field strength within the star's outer crust is orders of magnitude larger than the dipole component inferred from spin-down measurements. This presents a serious challenge to theories of magnetic field generation in a proto-neutron star. Here, we present detailed modelling of the evolution of the magnetic field in the crust of a neutron star through 3-D simulations. We find that, in the plausible scenario of equipartition of energy between global-scale poloidal and toroidal magnetic components, magnetic instabilities transfer energy to non-axisymmetric, kilometre-sized magnetic features, in which the local field strength can greatly exceed that of the global-scale field. These intense small-scale magnetic features can induce high energy bursts through local crust yielding, and the localised enhancement of Ohmic heating can power the star's persistent emission. Thus, the observed diversity in magnetar behaviour can be explained with mixed poloidal-toroidal fields of comparable energies.

description: Traditionally conservative, the construction sector must now demonstrate innovation given the climate emergency in order to reduce the carbon footprint of structures. 3D printing of concrete appears to be an emerging technology with an immense potential to address sustainability challenges in the modern construction sector. It offers significant advantages and can play a key role in the decarbonization of building structures. The Phoenix 3D printed footbridge presented in this study, built in Lyon, France, in 2023, introduces further sustainability and circularity benefits resulting from applying traditional unreinforced masonry structural logic to 3D concrete printing. It is the second of its kind after Striatus exhibited in Venice Biennale in 2021, thus building on key learnings from Striatus to push further the boundaries of innovation. It combines the creative and innovative design of architects and engineers according to the rules of the art to save materials, reduce carbon footprint, boost circularity, and extend service life. The authors' goal at large is to show the feasibility of this innovative footbridge and to share learnings over the whole construction process that will help engineering, architecture, manufacturing and construction sector in general to accelerate progress towards net zero.

description: Superconductivity in granular films is controlled by the grain size and the inter-grain coupling. In a two-component granular system formed by a random mixture of a normal metal (N) and a superconductor (S), the superconducting nano-grains may become coupled through S-N weak links, thereby affecting the superconducting properties of the network. We report on the study of superconductivity in immiscible Nb-Cu nanocomposite films with varying compositions. The microstructure of the films revealed the presence of phase separated, closely spaced, nano-grains of Nb and Cu whose sizes changed marginally with composition. The superconducting transition temperature (Tc0) of the films decreased with increasing concentration of Cu with a concomitant decrease in the upper critical field (Hc2) and the critical current (Ic). Our results indicate the presence of superconducting phase fluctuations in all films with varying Nb:Cu content which not only affected the temperature for the formation of a true phase coherent superconducting condensate in the films but also other superconducting properties.

description: Image Steganography is a growing research area of information security where secret information is embedded in innocent-looking public communication. This paper proposes a novel crystographic technique for grayscale images in spatial domain. The secret data is encrypted and shuffled using pattern based bits shuffling algorithm (PBSA) and a secret key. The encrypted data is then embedded in the cover image using magic least significant bit (M-LSB) method. Experimentally, the proposed method is evaluated by qualitative and quantitative analysis which validates the effectiveness of the proposed method in contrast to several state-of-the-art methods.

description: The traditional manual labor-intensive manufacturing processes of concrete structures, prevalent for the past century, have hindered the progress of concrete construction despite the advancements in design technologies (FEM, BIM etc.). The introduction of 3D printing (3DP) emerges as a transformative solution in Sweden, particularly for prefabrication companies grappling with high production costs and requirements of high efficiency. In the prefabrication context, implementing 3DP robots signifies an evolution in an already automated production facility. Swedish companies, accustomed to automated processes, are attracted to 3DP for resource and time management.

description: We detect the persistence of the solidification and order-disorder first-order transition lines in the phase diagram of nanocrystalline Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8}$ vortex matter down to a system size of less than hundred vortices. The temperature-location of the vortex solidification transition line is not altered by decreasing the sample size although there is a depletion of the entropy-jump at the transition with respect to macroscopic vortex matter. The solid order-disorder phase transition field moves upward on decreasing the system size due to the increase of the surface-to-volume ratio of vortices entailing a decrease on the average vortex binding energy.

description: The paper presents the development of a resource-efficient automation solution for the production of prefabricated staircases using additive manufactured, component-integrated formwork systems. The staircase formwork is produced in an automated process by concrete extrusion with a special 3D printing concrete and then reinforced with steel and filled with casting concrete. In addition to the development and implementation of the formwork concept and the associated automated production process, the development of a parametric staircase model is presented, which significantly advances digitalization in the manufacturing of precast stairs. The model considerably simplifies the creation of CAD geometries and the generation of production programs, enables the visualization of the production process and provides a process simulation to evaluate the feasibility of production-critical designs. Particularly in light of the increasing shortage of skilled workers, the new manufacturing strategy in conjunction with strong digitalization offers the opportunity to relieve the burden on skilled workers, increase productivity and make an important contribution to increasing efficiency and cost-effectiveness in production. The paper provides an overview of the entire development process from the conception phase to the final realization of the precast staircase. The focus is on material development and characterization, the development of a parametric staircase model for generating the production programs, the manufacturing and investigation of large-scale test specimens to verify the production strategies and the production-related implementation of the component-integrated staircase formwork including reinforcement and casting process.

description: In the evolving field of construction technology, 3D construction printing (3DCP) has advanced from small-scale experiments to large-scale projects, involving complex steps and challenges. This paper summarizes the technologies used in the first on-site 3D printing of a two-story office building in China, covering 230 m² with a total printing time of 49.5 hours. It highlights the development of a large-scale, modular, and high-precision 3D printer capable of performing various construction tasks. A specialized additive, crucial for creating a suitable printable mix was developed, demonstrating excellent performance characteristics. The research addressed the challenge of integrating vertical reinforcements in 3D-printed structures, particularly at intersections with the foundation. Advanced material technology and automatic spray curing methods were integrated to mitigate shrinkage and cracking issues in Portland cement-based printing materials. The successful printing of the two-story office building confirms the feasibility of digital construction technology in 3D concrete printing, marking a significant advancement in construction methodologies.

description: Power distribution networks are undergoing a significant transformation with the rapid uptake of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as rooftop solar, battery storage systems, and electrification of transport and heating systems. To enable efficient uptake and utilization of distribution networks and DERs, better visibility of low-voltage and medium-voltage networks and their assets is required. This thesis aims to explore the applications of smart meter measurements in estimating the distribution network model and subsequent functionalities. In this thesis, several novel approaches are proposed to resolve issues related to the limited visibility of distribution networks.

description: Quasars are associated with and powered by the accretion of material onto massive black holes; the detection of highly luminous quasars with redshifts greater than z = 6 suggests that black holes of up to ten billion solar masses already existed 13 billion years ago. Two possible present-day dormant descendants of this population of active black holes have been found in the galaxies NGC 3842 and NGC 4889 at the centres of the Leo and Coma galaxy clusters, which together form the central region of the Great Wall - the largest local structure of galaxies. The most luminous quasars, however, are not confined to such high-density regions of the early Universe; yet dormant black holes of this high mass have not yet been found outside of modern-day rich clusters. Here we report observations of the stellar velocity distribution in the galaxy NGC 1600 - a relatively isolated elliptical galaxy near the centre of a galaxy group at a distance of 64 Mpc from Earth. We use orbit superposition models to determine that the black hole at the centre of NGC 1600 has a mass of 17 billion solar masses. The spatial distribution of stars near the centre of NGC 1600 is rather diffuse. We find that the region of depleted stellar density in the cores of massive elliptical galaxies extends over the same radius as the gravitational sphere of influence of the central black holes, and interpret this as the dynamical imprint of the black holes.

description: 3D concrete printing has the potential to improve the cost, material efficiency and construction time. Combining the advantages of 3D concrete printing with modular construction enables the principle of topological interlocking of three-dimensional (non-convex) blocks without the use of binding materials. These interlocking blocks can be used in producing deconstructable slab or bridge structures through prestressing. The resulting structures exhibit high rigidity, which gives them considerable resistance to vibrations and crack propagation with 55% material savings. In this study, the mathematical generation of the design of these interlocking blocks is first discussed, followed by their validation using a 3D concrete printing process. The interlocking property and the 3D-printing technique both share the focus on the boundary as a material design concept. For interlocking purposes, the contact surfaces of two neighbouring blocks are essential which has to be part of the path finding algorithm. Several different blocks were printed and the variety of combinations tested. A suitable design was selected for mass production. High accuracy is essential to assemble the blocks into a slab system. In order to guarantee the interlocking property from the printed blocks, a custom path for 3D-printing is proposed. Furthermore, the accuracy in the resolution of printed blocks is ensured by continuous monitoring of the printing parameters followed by 3D scanning after printing. A 4 m long pre-stressed slab will be prepared by assembling the printed blocks of required design and accuracy. The slab will then be loaded to understand the deformation of the individual printed blocks and the overall slab. The data will be used to analyse the requirement of additional reinforcement. The method of in-line reinforcing of printed layers will be utilised accordingly.

description: We present an extended version of the spectral synthesis code STARLIGHT designed to incorporate both $λ$-by-$λ$ spectra and photometric fluxes in the estimation of stellar population properties of galaxies. The code is tested with simulations and data for 260 galaxies culled from the CALIFA survey, spatially matching the 3700--7000 Å optical datacubes to GALEX near and far UV images. The sample spans E--Sd galaxies with masses from $10^9$ to $10^{12} M_\odot$ and stellar populations all the way from star-forming to old, passive systems. Comparing results derived from purely optical fits with those which also consider the NUV and FUV data we find that: (1) The new code is capable of matching the input UV data within the errors while keeping the quality of the optical fit essentially unchanged. (2) Despite being unreliable predictors of the UV fluxes, purely optical fits yield stellar population properties which agree well with those obtained in optical+UV fits for nearly 90% of our sample. (3) The addition of UV constraints has little impact on properties such as stellar mass and dust optical depth. Mean stellar ages and metallicities also remain nearly the same for most galaxies, the exception being low-mass, late-type galaxies, which become older and less enriched due to rearrangements of their youngest populations. (4) The revised ages are better correlated with observables such as the 4000 Å break index, and the $NUV - r$ and $u - r$ colours, an empirical indication that the addition of UV constraints helps mitigating the effects of age-metallicity-extinction degeneracies.

description: Rapid advances in 3D concrete printing (3DCP) aim to address climate change by minimizing material use. This study presents an ongoing in-situ workflow for the additive manufacturing of concrete walls. The collaboration between the Universities of Bochum and Berlin and industry partners focuses on reducing CO2 emissions through hardware and software improvements in 3DCP. The project includes the development of a mobile on-site printing system that will be tested on a construction site in Stuttgart, Germany in the summer of 2024. Functionally integrated wall geometries were modeled, and a software interface was developed for various devices, including the robotic arm, pump, mixer, and mixing nozzle. Different mortars and concretes were formulated and tested for their suitability for additive manufacturing. Interdependencies between these factors and their impact on the geometry design were explored. The next phase is to increase the complexity by considering the influence of construction site conditions.

description: This thesis examines and exposes how the heightened socio-cultural salience of immigration in contemporary Sweden affects the traditional party of power, the Social Democrats (SAP), and its understanding and response to the nationalist ‘populist’ party the Sweden Democrats (SD). Through extended ethnographic, survey and archival research in the year leading up to the September 2018 general election, I dissect how these dynamics manifested in Norrköping, a traditional SAP stronghold with a long history of immigration where support for SD has grown considerably. Based on my findings, I argue that the untranslatable Swedish concept of ‘trygghet’ functions as a powerful heuristic device for understanding the 2018 election campaign. Denoting an enveloping sense of safety and comfort, trygghet, and its antipode otrygghet, were increasingly mobilised by both the SAP and SD in the wake of the 2015 European refugee crisis. Among SD supporters and party members I illustrate the resentful power of a mythological nostalgia for a trygghet that is intimately tied to an imagined social democratic Sweden of yesteryear. Within the SAP, however, the aggravated socio-cultural politics of immigration exposed a different register of evocative nostalgias for what the fundamental precepts of social democracy are. Due to the heightened salience of immigration, these competing visions of trygghet came to a forceful head during the election campaign and ultimately proved contentious for the SAP. This thesis contributes original findings to the burgeoning literature on how immigration is reshaping traditional socio-political conflict dimensions. Adopting both ethnographic and geographic sensitivities, it adds to the growing scholarship which takes seriously the everyday contexts in which people make sense and meaning out of socio-politics. By doing so, it exposes the glaringly normative limitations common to both dominant academic and social democratic explanations for the rise of nationalist ‘populism’.

description: Meeting dietary requirements for amino acids (AAs) is crucial for optimal health and growth. Previous research has shown the advantages of ‘exome matching’ in determining the ideal dietary AA profile from the in silico translation of an organism’s exome. However, purified AAs were used in previous studies. Here, we designed a computational method (ePROB) to formulate customised blends of food proteins to achieve exome matching at the food level. Using feeding experiments in mice, it was demonstrated that the ePROB-formulated blend with best exome-matching characteristics can better support body growth and facilitate the accretion of lean mass of animals under both ad libitum and dietary restriction scenarios.

description: This study employs the slip-form printing method, different type with conventional additive printing method. Also, a lab-scale vertical printing device for precast member was developed. In the case of printing through an additive printing method, reinforcing bars is difficult. To improve this difficulty, a slip-form type printing method was used. Shape stability is the property of maintaining its own shape without elastic buckling and plastic collapse. For vertical printing, the height of the layer is significantly greater than additive printing. So, the shape stability is an important factor in determining printing possibility. To satisfy the shape stability of vertical printing member, the matric suction effect is applied. This effect comes from Soil water characteristic curve. The effect of matric suction makes attraction between materials. By this concept, the aim of this study is to manufacture vertical printed precast concrete that satisfy the shape stability using matric suction effect.

description: This paper looks at the moral impact of killing in war, on the soldiers doing the killing. Recent research coming from the treatment of soldiers suffering from chronic psychological distress such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) because of combat experiences has identified ‘Moral Injury’ (MI) as a related but distinct condition. I argue that MI is caused by a transgression of a moral code, which I distinguish as MI-1 and/or disappointment of moral expectations, which I distinguish as MI-2. I argue that it is possible to mitigate the risk of MI-1 by developing moral virtues, particularly the virtue of justice as the motivator for war and love of humanity as the internal motivator for peace and restraint in war. Starting from the Arestotelian virtue tradition, I explore the problem from a distinctly reformed Protestant Christian perspective, which understands the "chief end of man" or eudaimonia as "to glorify God and enjoy Him forever". I appeal to Jonathan Edwards and Helmut Thielicke for reformed Protestant conceptions of virtue, justice and love. I argue that it is possible to mitigate MI-2 by developing moral expectations which stand up against reality. Finally, I look at some practical means to cultivate virtue and expectation in soldiers.

Subjects: classificationCode: 310799
subject: Microbiology not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis examines the beneficial traits of endophytic fungi residing in the root tissues of Orchidaceae (Cymbidium and Dendrobium orchids) in Malaysia. Results revealed that Orchidaceae hosted diverse endophytic fungi that are producers of antimicrobials, antioxidants and the antileukemic enzyme, L-asparaginase. Endophytic fungi with the strongest potential were selected for identification of their bioactive compounds. Several bioactive compounds are new reports from endophytic fungi. As a sustainable alternative, endophytic fungi can serve as rich sources of bioactive compounds in the pursuit of drug discovery and development.

description: Cementitious materials exhibit time-dependent rheological properties. This behaviour is especially important in 3D printing, which has been gaining momentum in recent years. The increase in apparent viscosity over time results in changes in the viscous stress term in the Navier-Stokes equation which governs the flow of fluids and may drive changes to the morphology of extruded filaments. This potential morphological change to filaments is yet to be fully studied but it is known that any changes can lead to an increase in the porosity of the final printed product, which is one of the main defects in the 3D printing of cementitious materials. In this study, the time-dependent rheological properties of cementitious materials for 3D printing were characterised, single filaments were printed with a stable flow rate output and their cross-sectional morphologies were prepared and analysed. We found that for the first two hours after mixing, the extrusion pressure increased linearly over time while a stable cross section was attained. However, the filament’s cross-sectional morphology changed significantly from two hours onwards. . This occurred even though the open time was determined to be up to four hours using conventional measures. The experimental results were further corroborated with numerical simulations. For industrial applications, where screw pumps are widely adopted, the effects of decreasing volumetric flow rate after a threshold time, as reported by Chen et al. [1] and Lee et al. [2], can induce more noticeable morphological changes, even filament thinning. By taking into consideration the pattern in which filament morphology is changing, engineers can design printed structures in a way to reduce porosity and improve the quality of the print. This study deepens the understanding of the evolution of filament morphology in 3D printing and its dependence on time-dependent rheological properties to further pave the way towards 3D printing with improved quality and repeatability.

description: Worldwide, the sprayed concrete industry faces common challenges such as the need to optimize the process to reduce losses associated with material rebounding from the surface during placement, as well as a growing shortage of qualified operators due to the harsh job-site conditions. These challenges are at the heart of the research efforts of the Shotcrete Lab in Université Laval. Indeed, automation of sprayed concrete placement was seen as a perfect approach to address the economic and environmental impacts of rebound losses, and the challenging placement conditions found in structural shotcrete applications with large quantities of reinforcing bars. Strong of a 6-axes industrial robotic arm acquired in 2019 that allows accuracy and repeatability, research progressed in two areas in parallel: the capturing of relevant digital information to facilitate the work of the operator and ultimately fully automate the process, and the methodical study of the effect of placement parameters (angles, distance, velocity, motion, etc.) on rebound losses. After investigations on the effect of placement parameters, the exploration of the automation has come. The research made use of two cameras, one observing the orientation and the distance of the nozzle compared to the substrate, and a second observing the wall and the reinforcing bars for thickness control. The processed data is useful for both the shotcreter and the robot. Probably the most significant from a material rheology point of view is the control of the placement parameters offered by the robotic arm, as opposed to human operator, allowing to devise a unique placement pattern that was found to reduce rebound losses by half. The implications of what was coined as the “fundamental rebound” opened a new research avenue investigating rheological properties during placement, offering a completely new insight in mixture designs optimization and spraying parameters optimization.
