description: Objective: Drivers’ behaviors such as violations and errors have been demonstrated to predict crash involvement among young Omani drivers. However, there is a dearth of studies linking risky driving behaviors to the personality of young drivers. The aim of the present study was to assess such traits within a sample of young Omani drivers (as measured through the behavioral inhibition system [BIS] and the behavioral activation system [BAS]) and determine links with aberrant driving behaviors and self-reported crash involvement. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Sultan Qaboos University that targeted all licensed Omani's undergraduate students. A total of 529 randomly selected students completed the self-reported questionnaire that included an assessment of driving behaviors (e.g., Driver Behaviour Questionnaire, DBQ) as well as the BIS/BAS measures. Results: A total of 237 participants (44.8%) reported involvement in at least one crash since being licensed. Young drivers with lower BIS–Anxiety scores and higher BAS–Fun Seeking tendencies as well as male drivers were more likely to report driving violations. Statistically significant gender differences were observed on all BIS and BAS subscales (except for BAS–Fun) and the DBQ subscales, because males reported higher trait scores. Though personality traits were related to aberrant driving behaviors at the bivariate level, the constructs were not predictive of engaging in violations or errors. Furthermore, consistent with previous research, a supplementary multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that only driving experience was predictive of crash involvement. Conclusions: The findings highlight that though personality traits influence self-reported driving styles (and differ between the genders), the relationship with crash involvement is not as clear. This article further outlines the key findings of the study in regards to understanding core psychological constructs that increase crash risk.

description: In this article, we study a surgery scheduling problem in multiple Operating Rooms (ORs) constrained by the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) capacity within the block-booking framework. With surgery sequences predetermined in each OR, a Discrete-Event Dynamic System (DEDS) is devised for the problem. A DEDS-based stochastic optimization model is formulated in order to minimize the cost incurred from patient waiting time, OR idle time, OR blocking time, OR overtime, and PACU overtime. A sample gradient-based algorithm is proposed for the sample average approximation of our formulation. Numerical experiments suggest that the proposed method identifies near-optimal solutions and outperforms previous methods. We also show that considerable cost savings (11.8% on average) are possible in hospitals where PACU beds are a constraint.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Scientific projects seldom articulate their own mission statements, as it is often presumed that many of the normative and ethical guiding principles for project implementation are already known, internalized, or covered by existing guidelines, such as those of the respective institutions or good scientific practice protocols. 

Nevertheless, the partners in the WiNoDa project made a deliberate decision to formulate their own mission statement. This was done to ensure an overarching shared understanding for both the project and the community involved.

The mission statement was collaboratively developed through an iterative process, involving representatives from all WiNoDa partner institutions.

description: Understanding the susceptibility of coastal ecosystems to nutrient loads from anthropogenic sources and the extent of eutrophication in subtropical and tropical estuaries is still a challenge. This study assessed eutrophication in Guaymas Bay, a subtropical lagoon that receives nutrient-rich urban wastewater discharges. Eutrophication was evaluated by means of the Assessment of Estuarine Trophic Status model. Our results showed that the trophic status of Guaymas Bay was “good.” It is important to consider that: (1) the dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll a levels observed are indicative of a healthy ecosystem, and (2) the key factors explaining this finding are the high susceptibility to eutrophication of the lagoon and the dominance of macroalgae species that respond to nutrient enrichment. This implies that the Overall Eutrophic Condition Index of the Assessment of Estuarine Trophic Status model is a valuable tool for use as an eutrophication indicator based on the abundance of primary producers (macroalgae and phytoplankton). One source of uncertainty in the application of the model to this semi-arid coastal lagoon deals with estimating its susceptibility to eutrophication. The model showed that the lagoon is a highly sensitive ecosystem; however, significant factors are in place, such as an adequate water exchange, that reduce its susceptibility to eutrophication. In conclusion, the trophic status observed at Guaymas Bay is acceptable; however, an environmental management plan is necessary to prevent any adverse effects of eutrophication.

description: We consider integration of fast evacuation and cost-effective relief distribution objectives, the two critical aspects of emergency management, to design a strategic emergency preparedness network for foreseen disasters, such as hurricanes. To this end, we introduce the design of a three-tier system, involving evacuation source, shelters, and distribution centers, that integrates the relief (supply) and evacuation (demand) sides of an emergency preparedness network. This is motivated by the realization that the shelters are shared facilities at the interface of the supply and demand sides. Although primarily intended for strategic decision making, our model can also make tactical decisions, thus spanning two separate time frames before a disaster’s occurrence. To solve models for large-scale instances, we adopt a Benders Decomposition approach with an implementation that solves only one instance of the master problem. We also determine that, in this framework, tuning of master tree search parameters along with the strengthening of Benders cuts significantly impact convergence. We conduct an extensive computational study to examine the impact of algorithmic improvements and further consider a realistic case study based on geographic information system (GIS) data from coastal Texas and examine the effects of changing problem parameters. By comparing our approach with current practice, we illustrate that a pro-active strategic integration of evacuation and distribution can relieve the resource-constrained large urban areas, traditionally considered as shelter locations.

Conventional traffic-induced HONO/NOx ratio of 0.8 % has possibly linked to under-estimation of the total HONO budget and consequently under-estimation of OH radical budget. Recently reported HONO/NOx ratio of c.a. 1.6 % was used to stimulate HONO emission, which resulted in increased HONO concentrations during morning peak hours and its impact to 14 % OH increment in the morning. However, the results were still lower than the measured concentrations. More studies should be conducted to establish an updated traffic-induced HONO/NOx ratio.

A multispecies amplicon sequencing approach for genetic diversity assessment in grassland plant species

Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2021

description: Grasslands are widespread and economically relevant ecosystems at the basis of sustainable roughage production. Plant genetic diversity (PGD; i.e., within-species diversity) is related to many beneficial effects to the ecosystem functioning of grasslands. The monitoring of PGD in temperate grasslands is complicated by the multiplicity of species present and by a shortage of methods for large-scale assessment. However, the continuous advancement of high-throughput DNA sequencing approaches have improved the prospects of broad, multispecies PGD monitoring. Among them, amplicon sequencing stands out as a robust and cost-effective method.

Here we report a set of twelve multispecies primer pairs that can be used for high-throughput PGD assessment in multiple grassland plant species. The loci targeted by the amplicons were selected and tested in two phases: a “discovery phase” based on a sequence capture assay (611 target nuclear loci assessed in 16 grassland plant species), which resulted in the selection of eleven loci; and a “validation phase”, in which the selected loci were targeted and sequenced using twelve multispecies primers in test populations of Dactylis glomerata L., Lolium perenne L., Festuca pratensis Huds., Trifolium pratense L. and T. repens L. The resulting multispecies amplicons had overall nucleotide diversities per species ranging from 5.19 × 10−3 to 1.29 × 10−2, which is in the range of flowering-related genes but slightly lower than pathogen resistance genes. We conclude that the methodology, the DNA sequence resources, and the amplicon-specific primer pairs reported in this study provide the basis for large-scale, multispecies PGD monitoring in grassland plants.

Development of thallium as a tracer of igneous process in contrasting tectonic settings
Creators: name: Brett, Alex
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Some volcanoes erupt relatively undifferentiated melts, which can be used to investigate the otherwise inaccessible mantle. Tectonic setting influences which portions of the mantle are sampled by volcanic activity. At mid-ocean ridges, passive upwelling causes decompression melting of the upper mantle. In subduction settings, arc lavas provide chemical evidence for the incorporation of slab materials and fluids from the downgoing plate. The geochemistry of ocean island basalts (OIB) indicate that at least some of this surface material is recycled into the deep mantle and then re-sampled. However, identifying geochemical signatures that can be linked to a specific type of subduction input is often challenging. This thesis investigates the potential of thallium stable isotope and elemental systematics to further constrain recycling of surface materials through the mantle via subduction. Thallium (Tl) is a heavy (mass ∼204), volatile, highly incompatible trace metal, which is both depleted and isotopically homogeneous in mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB). In contrast, much higher concentrations of isotopically diverse Tl are found in potential subduction inputs, meaning that addition of exotic Tl to the mantle should be readily identifiable. I provide new analyses of global OIB and the first analyses of thallium stable isotopes in samples from a continental arc volcano, alongside trace element compilations for MORB, OIB, and arcs. The accuracy and precision of these datasets are supported by characterisation and evalu- ation of igneous reference materials. I show that the mantle is likely to be even more depleted in Tl than previously recognised, and that recycling of Tl into the deep mantle and OIB source regions is likely limited. Variations in the Tl isotopic composition of OIB reflect some combination of heterogeneous residual slab Tl and shallow-level assimilation during magma ascent. Instead, the majority of subducted Tl is reprocessed through subduction-related volcanism, eventually accumulating in the continental crust.

Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.)

description: Background Over the last decade, progress in DNA sequencing technologies and assembly methods allowed plant scientists to move beyond the use of model organisms and work directly on the genomes of the major crops. Forage grass research can also benefit from this revolution, enabling progress in population genetic studies, functional biology, and genomics-assisted breeding. Due to its large genome size and high repeat content, so far only incomplete and fragmented assemblies are available for the grasses of the Lolium and Festuca species complex.

Findings Here, we report a highly contiguous draft assembly of Italian ryegrass (L. multiflorum Lam.), spanning 4.5 Gb and with a N50 of 3 Mb, containing ~70,000 gene models. Thanks to its relatedness to barley, 78% of the assembly was anchored on seven pseudomolecules. The high heterozygosity of the plant allowed obtaining a diploid assembly – i.e. across 95% of the assembly, both alleles were assembled on separate sequences. This feature allowed unraveling a very high amount of intergenic sequence variation between allelic sequences.

Conclusions We present a nearly complete genome assembly of a genotype used in contemporary Swiss forage grass breeding programs. This work shows how genomic research has improved, allowing to decode the genetic code of large, complex, and heterozygous plants. It also allows the functional characterization of the ryegrass gene repertoire and the large-scale development of molecular markers. Furthermore, it paves the road for a reference-based characterization and exploitation of the genetic variation within the Lolium and Festuca species complex.

Uniform boundedness for finite Morse index solutions to supercritical semilinear elliptic equations
Creators: name: Figalli, Alessio
name: Zhang, Yi Ru-Ya
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2021

description: We consider finite Morse index solutions to semilinear elliptic questions, and we investigate their smoothness. It is well-known that:
- For n=2, there exist Morse index 1 solutions whose L∞ norm goes to infinity.
- For n≥3, uniform boundedness holds in the subcritical case for power-type nonlinearities, while for critical nonlinearities the boundedness of the Morse index does not prevent blow-up in L∞.
In this paper, we investigate the case of general supercritical nonlinearities inside convex domains, and we prove an interior a priori L∞ bound for finite Morse index solution in the sharp dimensional range 3≤n≤9. As a corollary, we obtain uniform bounds for finite Morse index solutions to the Gelfand problem constructed via the continuity method.

Quantum entanglement from classical trajectories

name: Richardson, Jeremy
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2021

description: A long-standing challenge in mixed quantum-classical trajectory simulations is the treatment of entanglement between the classical and quantal degrees of freedom. We present a novel approach which describes the emergence of entangled states entirely in terms of independent and deterministic Ehrenfest-like classical trajectories. For a two-level quantum system in a classical environment, this is derived by mapping the quantum system onto a path-integral representation of a spin-1/2. We demonstrate that the method correctly accounts for coherence and decoherence and thus reproduces the splitting of a wavepacket in a nonadiabatic scattering problem. This discovery opens up a new class of simulations as an alternative to stochastic surface-hopping, coupled-trajectory or semiclassical approaches.

description: By establishing an infrastructure for monitoring and blocking networks in accordance with European Union (EU) law on preventive measures against the spread of information, EU member states have also made it easier to block websites and services and monitor information. While relevant studies have documented Internet censorship in non‐European countries, as well as the use of such infrastructures for political reasons, this study examines network interference practices such as website blocking against the backdrop of an almost complete lack of EU‐related research. Specifically, it performs and demonstrates an analysis for the total of 27 EU countries based on three different sources. They include first, tens of millions of historical network measurements collected in 2020 by Open Observatory of Network Interference volunteers from around the world; second, the publicly available blocking lists used by EU member states; and third, the reports issued by network regulators in each country from May 2020 to April 2021. Our results show that authorities issue multiple types of blocklists. Internet Service Providers limit access to different types and categories of websites and services. Such resources are sometimes blocked for unknown reasons and not included in any of the publicly available blocklists. The study concludes with the hurdles related to network measurements and the nontransparency from regulators regarding specifying website addresses in blocking activities.
Managing propagation of site-wide disturbances using model predictive control with forecasting
Creators: name: Borghesan, Francesco

description: Disturbances are undesired deviations of process variables from their set-points. Many disturbances are characterised by the repetitions of fast and complex patterns, and by the fact that such disturbances can propagate. If they propagate within a plant they are called plant-wide disturbances. If they propagate also to utilities of a process site, they are called site-wide disturbances. Control systems play a role in the propagation of disturbances. A common requirement of a control system is to maintain a controlled variable at its set point by rejecting a disturbance. However, rejecting a disturbance can lead to further propagation of the disturbance elsewhere in the system. Hence there is a need for a trade-off. Plant operators can prefer to manually control a section of a production site to manage this trade-off, when a disturbance occurs. To automatically manage the response to plant-wide and site-wide disturbances, this thesis proposes Model Predictive Control (MPC) with disturbance forecasting. Since there have been very few publications focusing on the causes and mechanisms of propagation of site-wide disturbances, this thesis contains a review of the possible disturbances occurring between process plants, steam utility and electrical utility. This analysis identifies the important scenarios where the proposed MPC framework might be useful, and also provides the research community a structured discussion about the topic of site-wide disturbances. The thesis presents a k-nearest neighbours method for the prediction of disturbances. The algorithm uses a novel weighting method that makes the prediction more robust. The method is compared with other k-nearest neighbours methods and autoregressive models on industrial datasets. The proposed MPC framework with disturbance forecasting is compared with other industrial frameworks on three simulated case studies. The case studies are a laboratory CSTH tank, an industrial steam boiler and an industrial distillation column. Incorporation of a prediction of the future evolution of a disturbance in model predictive control reduces the propagation of disturbances in most cases by a value between 65% and 95%, and improves the tracking of set-points up to 10%. This allows management of the trade-off between disturbance propagation and rejection of the disturbance from the controlled variables. The approaches and novel results of the research are examined critically, with suggestions for future work.

description: Introduction: How do parents feel about psychosocial counseling during donor sperm treatment? Methods: We performed a qualitative study based on semi-structured in-depth interviews, conducted from July 2012 until August 2013, with 24 Dutch parents who had had children through donor sperm treatment between 2000 and 2012. Results: During counseling, parents sometimes felt screened for their eligibility for parenthood rather than guided, and therefore felt discouraged about bringing up topics that were important for them. Parents of all family types would value extended psychological counseling before and after successful donor sperm treatment, that is in several stages of parenthood. Only after childbirth topics such as disclosure, fear of rejection of the social parent and future contact of the child with the sperm donor became more pertinent. Conclusions: Both before and after childbirth, parents of all family types would value expert advice on when and how to disclose. Psychosocial guidance should be offered separately from psychosocial screening for treatment eligibility and should be offered in several stages of parenthood.

Physics-aware deep learning for wind prediction over complex terrain
Creators: name: Duthé, Gregory
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2019

description: Rapidly computing the wind flow over complex terrain features is a challenging problem with many potential fields of application. Such domains include autonomous UAV path planning, naturally ventilated building design or even wind farm layout optimization. Traditionally, this requires performing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, which are computationally expensive and time consuming. One recent approach has been to use deep convolutional neural networks as a data-driven simulation alternative which leverages CFD simulation results for training. Albeit fast and relatively accurate, this method does not, however, explicitly take into account flow properties. We believe that doing so could improve prediction accuracy, especially in previously under-predicted areas which usually exhibit strong shearing flows and large velocity magnitudes.
In this thesis, we investigate training deep neural networks with physics based loss functions and loss weighting methods, constructed to accentuate desirable flow features and properties. Furthermore, we explore other potential solutions, such as a physics informed adversarial approach, or using the recently proposed SPADE network which reported good spatial expressivity. Comparisons to baseline results are provided for all tested solutions, allowing us to select the combination of methods which provides the most accurate wind flow predictions. We show that training a network with a loss weighted with the velocity gradient magnitude results in a 5% decrease in maximum prediction error while retaining a comparable mean prediction error, when compared to the baseline approach.

The influence of microstructure and defects on the mechanical behaviour of stainless steel manufactured by laser powder bed fusion
Creators: name: Ronneberg, Tobias
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) can enable unprecedented local control of material properties in 3D by manipulating material deposition in an iterative additive process. However, such control is currently limited by an incomplete understanding of how process variation affects manufactured material. Assessing the structural integrity of parts made by LPBF is therefore a challenge. This thesis seeks to improve the knowledge foundation for part certification by investigating relationships between microstructure, defects and mechanical behaviour of stainless steel grade 316L manufactured by LPBF. Heat treatment was used as an investigative tool to isolate the influence of porosity and microstructure on mechanical properties. Microstructural features were selectively removed by heat treatment and tensile testing enabled the influence of individual features to be assessed. Material microstructure and process defects were extensively characterised by metallography. A ductile damage model was developed based on the evolution of effective elastic modulus with plastic deformation. The evolution of microstructure and porosity with deformation under uniaxial and multiaxial stress was characterised. Microstructural features were found to substantially influence mechanical behaviour. As-built material was strengthened by its microstructure and the strengthening effect could be removed by heat treatment. Manufacturing defects had a strong and detrimental effect on material ductility, which was also dependent on stress state and microstructure. Material defects were primarily located on melt pool boundaries which guided void growth with deformation. The material exhibited elastic-plastic strain hardening and ductile failure behaviour. Anisotropy in yield behaviour was correlated with the orientation of microstructural features, while anisotropy in failure behaviour was related to the orientation and morphology of defects as well as microstructural features. Anisotropy in both yield and failure behaviour was reduced by annealing heat treatment, increasing ductility and reducing strength.
