title: The Effects of Recreation Specialization and Motivations on the Environmental Setting Preferences of Backcountry Hikers
Creators: name: Virden, Randy J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1986

description: This study explored how recreation specialization and different types of motivations were related to environmental settings preferred by backcountry hikers. A questionnaire was developed that measured the level of hiking specialization, desired psychological outcomes, and preferred environmental setting attributes. Ouestionnaires were mailed to 619 backcountry hikers from three Intermountain West hiking areas; a response rate of 68 percent was attained.
Results of the study revealed significant associations between the level of hiking specialization and the psychological states desired by backcountry hikers. In general, increased hiking specialization served to increase the importance of specific psycholoqical outcomes such as autonomy, exercise, achievement and nature. Significant associations were also found between the level of hiking specialization and the types of environmental settings preferred by hikers. Hiking specialization exhibited significant relationships with 55 percent of the studied environmental setting attributes, especially within the physical and managerial setting domains. The five study motives were especially adept at explaining the physical setting attributes desired by hikers, but lacked predictive power in explaining preferences for managerial settings.
The final study analysis utilized two canonical correlation analyses to allow the specialization and motive variables to be combined as a set of independent variables to see which combinations would emerge as important predictors. The specialization variable emerged in both canonical analyses as the first and dominant indicator of the setting attributes. Additional interpretations of the canonical results indicated that two motive-based orientations to backcountry hiking may exist.
The findings of this study have implications for researchers and managers seeking to understand why environmental settings are valued differently by recreationists, even within the same activity style. Secondly, researchers studying recreation motivation could utilize recreation specialization as a useful developmental framework for explaining differences in motivational states over time. The results also imply that management strategies sensitive to changes in levels of recreation specialization may be less costly in dollars and offer a more precise way of defining the diversity of opportunity and settings sought by recreationists.
title: Using Silkworms as a Host to Spin Spider Silk-Like Fibers

description: Using silkworms as the potential host to spin spider silk-like fibers is an area of intense research world-wide. The conventional methods used to create transgenic silkworms hosting spider silk-like gene limits the incorporation of spider silk-like protein and do not improve the mechanical performance of the composite silkworm/spider silk fibers. In this dissertation, synthetic spider ampullate genes were incorporated into the precise site of the fibroin heavy chain or light chain using the latest genome editing technology CRISPR/cas9 guided non-homologous end joining as opposed to conventional random integration using transposon-based piggyBac system. These protocols, with extensive applicability to other silkworm researches, improved the content of spider silk-like protein in the transgenic silkworm/spider silk fibers, increases genetic stability in offspring, and improves the mechanical performance of the transgenic fibers compared to traditional methods. In addition, an enhanced green fluorescence protein (eGFP) was successfully incorporated into the fibroin light chain of silkworms using CRISPR/C as 9 initiated homologous recombination. The transgenic silkworm/spider fibers emitted strong green fluorescence under excitation. These results demonstrate that the we successfully developed a protocol to make silkworm as a host to spin spider silk-like fibers.
title: Efficacy of Denning in Alleviating Coyote Depredations upon Domestic Sheep

description: Bands of domestic sheep lambing on the open range in south central Wyoming were monitored for predator losses prior to and following coyote (Canis ·1atrans) removals. Experimental treatments, including 1) no removal (control), 2) removal of 2 adults and their pups, and 3) removal of pups only, were replicated 15 times each. Number of predation incidents (events) was reduced 98.2% by removing adults and pups. The number of sheep killed was reduced by 98.8%. Removing only litters of pups resulted in a decrease of 87.7% total kills decreased 91.6%. in predation incidents, while Overall, 23 of 30 predation sequences terminated immediately, while in all cases predation ceased within 3 days after removing adult coyotes and/or their pups. In terms of "offending individuals", denning can be a very selective means of coyote depredation control. The data suggest that removing only litters of offending adults can be nearly as effective in stopping losses as removing the adults. Biological parameters such as litter size did not appear to influence kill frequencies. A cost-effectiveness analysis was calculated.

description: Neste trabalho, vamos analisar comparativamente raps do grupo Racionais MC’s, de São Paulo, do rapper MV Bill, do Rio de Janeiro, e do grupo Mind da Gap e de Boss AC, de Portugal, a fim de averiguar de que maneira as diferentes letras de raps brasileiros e portugueses constroem e representam discursivamente o espaço urbano e a periferia em Portugal e no Brasil. Escolhemos esses rappers, pois são alguns nomes significativos e representativos no cenário do movimento Hip Hop tanto brasileiro quanto português em atuação, tendo quase o mesmo tempo de formação. Para a análise da construção da sociedade pelas críticas e questionamentos feitos pelos raps, utilizaremos como pressupostos teóricos e metodológicos, os trabalhos de Foucault (2002a, 2002b, 2004) sobre a relação entre discursos, autoria, poder e resistência.

title: Plant Gas Exchange of Two Bunchgrasses in Relation to Herbivory Tolerance
Creators: name: Nowak, Robert S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1984

description: The occurrence of compensatory photosynthesis was examined in the field during the spring for all foliage elements on two Agropyron bunchgrass species that differ in their evolutionary history of grazing pressure. Compensatory photosynthesis did occur in many individual foliage elements during at least part of their ontogeny. For both species, compensatory photosynthesis was related primarily to delayed leaf senescence and increased soluble protein concentrations, but not to an improvement in the water status of clipped plants. Photosynthetic water use efficiency and photosynthetic rates per unit soluble protein of foliage on partially defoliated plants were not increased following the clipping treatments. Light and temperature dependencies of gas exchange measurements were usually very similar between the two Agropyron species. However, gas exchange rates per unit foliage area of leaves exserted late in the spring on~ spicatum plants were significantly different from those on A. desertorum plants when these leaves were senescing. To determine the ecological significance of these differences between species for light and temperature dependencies, the average carbon gain and water loss rate per tiller were estimated. The differences between species for carbon gain and water loss rates per tiller in this environment were substantially less than the individual leaf gas exchange differences between species. Photosynthetic activity and survival of leaves were also determined during the fall, winter, and early spring for the two Agropyron species in the field. A large proportion of the leaves of both species survived the winter. Photosynthetic rates of both species declined as air temperature dropped during the fall, were slightly positive during the winter between periods of snow cover, and increased during the early spring. Even though there is potential for photosynthesis during a winter with intermittent snow cover, total plant saccharide pools were barely maintained over such a winter. Although A. desertorum and A. spicatum were exposed to different levels of grazing pressure during their evolutionary history, the phenology, water status, and gas exchange rates of foliage and tillers were very similar both for undefoliated as well as partially defoliated plants. Therefore, we conclude that compensatory photosynthesis does not appear to be an important ecological component of herbivory tolerance for these species.

description: We have measured the magnetic splitting, $Δ_K$, of a Kondo peak in the differential conductance of a Single-Electron Transistor while tuning the Kondo temperature, $T_K$, along two different paths in the parameter space: varying the dot-lead coupling at a constant dot energy, and vice versa. At a high magnetic field, $B$, the changes of $Δ_K$ with $T_K$ along the two paths have opposite signs, indicating that $Δ_K$ is not a universal function of $T_K$. At low $B$, we observe a decrease in $Δ_K$ with $T_K$ along both paths, in agreement with theoretical predictions. Furthermore, we find $Δ_K/Δ<1$ at low $B$ and $Δ_K/Δ>1$ at high $B$, where $Δ$ is the Zeeman energy of the bare spin, in the same system.

description: Deep learning-based histopathology image classification is a key technique to help physicians in improving the accuracy and promptness of cancer diagnosis. However, the noisy labels are often inevitable in the complex manual annotation process, and thus mislead the training of the classification model. In this work, we introduce a novel hard sample aware noise robust learning method for histopathology image classification. To distinguish the informative hard samples from the harmful noisy ones, we build an easy/hard/noisy (EHN) detection model by using the sample training history. Then we integrate the EHN into a self-training architecture to lower the noise rate through gradually label correction. With the obtained almost clean dataset, we further propose a noise suppressing and hard enhancing (NSHE) scheme to train the noise robust model. Compared with the previous works, our method can save more clean samples and can be directly applied to the real-world noisy dataset scenario without using a clean subset. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms the current state-of-the-art methods in both the synthetic and real-world noisy datasets.

title: Initial Assessment of the Introduction of Spottail Shiner (Notropis hudsonius) and Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) into Willard Bay Reservoir, Utah.
Creators: name: Sommerfeldt, Thomas E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Spottail shiner (Notropis hudsonius) and delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) were introduced into Willard Reservoir to improve the forage base for walleye (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) and black crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus). Spottail shiners were stocked in early spring in 1981, 1982, and 1983. Hauling mortality was generally great and an estimated 34,500 live fish were stocked in the 3-year period. Spottail shiner reproduction occurred each year of stocking. Delta smelt were introduced in 1982 with the stocking of 15,000 adult spawning fish. Stocking survival was estimated at 99%. Freshly spawned eggs were also obtained and placed in a tributary to Willard Reservoir. Shoreline seining produced 29 · young-of-the-year delta smelt during June 1982. Growth of the captured young-of-the-year spottail shiner and delta smelt in Willard Reservoir compared favorably with growth found in their respective native waters. Stomach analysis indicated food habits were similar to those in native waters. Food habit analysis of young-of-the-year walleye, black crappie, spottail shiner, and delta smelt indicated very little overlap of food organisms between the four fish species. Spottail shiners occurred in 3 of 56 walleye stomachs containing food items in 1982 and 3 of 41 stomachs containing food items in 1983. Delta smelt were not found in the 132 walleye stomachs examined. However, six adult delta smelt were angler-caught walleye in April 1983. No found in the stomachs of spottail shiners or delta smelt were found in 79 black crappie stomachs examined in 1982 or 62 stomachs examined in 1983. Low utilization of spottail shiner and delta smelt was attributed to the low relative abundance of the two species in Willard Reservoir.
title: Comparison of Chikungunya Virus Strains in Disease Severity and Susceptibility to T-705 (Favipiravir), In vitro and In vivo
Creators: name: Gebre, Makda
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Chikungunya is a mosquito-transmitted disease caused by Chikungunya virus (CHIKV). Symptoms of Chikungunya include debilitating joint pain and swelling, fever and rash. CHIKV was first discovered in 1953 in Tanzania, and has since caused periodic outbreaks of disease. The virus reemerged recently in 2004 and has since spread around the world affecting more than 3 million people. The different strains of CHIKV have been grouped into three phylogenetic clades: West African, Asian and East/Central/South African (ECSA). There are no FDA approved medicines or vaccines used to treat or prevent CHIKV infection. The antiviral drug, T-705 (commercially known as Favipiravir), has recently been shown to have activity against CHIKV. T-705 has already been approved in Japan for the treatment of influenza and is currently going through clinical trials in the US.
Since there may be phenotypic differences between the clades of CHIKV, it is important to first characterize distinctions between the strains and determine the susceptibility of these strains to treatment. To do this, we obtained two different CHIKV strains from each of the three phylogenetic groups. These CHIKV strains displayed differences in their ability to replicate in cell culture and exhibited only slight differences in susceptibility to T-705 treatment. However, more profound differences were observed in mouse models where differences in disease severity and response to T-705 treatment were observed.

title: Evaluation of Flux Correction on Three-dimensional Strand Grids with an Overset Cartesian Grid
Creators: name: Work, Dalon G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Simulations of fluid flows over complex geometries are typically solved using a solution technique known as the overset meshing method. The geometry is meshed using grid types appropriate to the local geometry in a patchwork fashion, rather than meshing the entire geometry with one type of mesh. The strand-Cartesian approach is a simplification of this process. While high-order accurate solvers on Cartesian grids are simple to implement, strand grids are usually restricted to second-order accuracy, resulting in poor quality solutions. Flux correction is a high-order accurate solution method, specifically designed for use on strand grids. The flux correction method on strand grids is evaluated in conjunction with an overset Cartesian grid. Fundamental studies are considered which demonstrate the effectiveness of high-order methods in solving practical flows of interest.

description: A obra Aglepta para coro infantil, composta em 1969 pelo sueco Arne Mellnäs, apresenta um conjunto de características que a associam à vanguarda da década de 60 do século XX. De entre essas características destacam-se: a variedade de recursos vocais, os princípios de execução aleatória e a notação gráfica. Apesar de ser uma obra pioneira no repertório coral infantil ela continua a ser pouco executada e divulgada. O presente artigo não só apresenta um conjunto de considerações acerca de nova vocalidade, indeterminação e notação gráfica como também faz a análise musical de Aglepta, que incidem nos seguintes elementos: texto literário, recursos vocais, eventos sonoros, estrutura formal e notação musical. Deste modo apresentam-se os princípios sintácticos mais importantes do discurso musical da obra e demonstra-se que a interpretação de Aglepta contribui para o alargamento das competências vocais e interpretativas do coro infantil.

title: Characterization of the Thermal Resistance of Grain Boundaries of Cerium Oxide
Creators: name: Spackman, Jesse
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Many materials are made up of small crystals, or grains. Grain boundaries are the interfaces between two grains and affect the flow of heat through the material. These interfaces serve to interfere with the energy carriers by scattering or disrupting them. Because of the negative effect these interfaces have on these energy carriers, they inhibit heat flow and act as thermal resistors. The thermal boundary resistance between two grains of the same material is sometimes referred to as the Kapitza resistance, although this term is also used to describe the thermal resistance between solid/solid interfaces of different materials or solid/liquid interfaces. A better understanding of the heat transport process on a micro-scale is especially relevant to nuclear energy applications. Nuclear fuels are polycrystalline materials that experience large heat differences over small distances. An improved understanding of these grain boundaries and the role they play in transferring heat can help better predict nuclear fuel performance and improve nuclear reactor efficiency and safety.
The study of the thermal resistance across crystal interfaces and their potential influence on nuclear fuels is a topic that has received relatively little attention. While the thermal resistance across a single grain boundary is rather small, the total resistance generated from many grain boundaries can have a big impact on the material. Smaller grains mean there are more interfaces, which will result in a lower overall thermal conductivity.
For this study, Kapitza resistance across individual grain boundaries was measured using a laser-based measurement technique. The sample material was Cerium Oxide. It was used because of its similar properties to Uranium Oxide, which is a popular material used in nuclear fuel. The average interfacial thermal resistance measured at room temperature in this thesis study was 9.88∙10-9 �2�/�. The average measured value fit in an accepted range from other results found in similar studies.
Modeling and Predicting Blood Flow Characteristics through Double Stenosed Artery from CFD simulation using Deep Learning Models

description: Establishing patient-specific finite element analysis (FEA) models for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of double stenosed artery models involves time and effort, restricting physicians' ability to respond quickly in time-critical medical applications. Such issues might be addressed by training deep learning (DL) models to learn and predict blood flow characteristics using a dataset generated by CFD simulations of simplified double stenosed artery models with different configurations. When blood flow patterns are compared through an actual double stenosed artery model, derived from IVUS imaging, it is revealed that the sinusoidal approximation of stenosed neck geometry, which has been widely used in previous research works, fails to effectively represent the effects of a real constriction. As a result, a novel geometric representation of the constricted neck is proposed which, in terms of a generalized simplified model, outperforms the former assumption. The sequential change in artery lumen diameter and flow parameters along the length of the vessel presented opportunities for the use of LSTM and GRU DL models. However, with the small dataset of short lengths of doubly constricted blood arteries, the basic neural network model outperforms the specialized RNNs for most flow properties. LSTM, on the other hand, performs better for predicting flow properties with large fluctuations, such as varying blood pressure over the length of the vessels. Despite having good overall accuracies in training and testing across all the properties for the vessels in the dataset, the GRU model underperforms for an individual vessel flow prediction in all cases. The results also point to the need of individually optimized hyperparameters for each property in any model rather than aiming to achieve overall good performance across all outputs with a single set of hyperparameters.

description: Context. We compare solar differential rotation of subphotospheric layers derived from local helioseismology analysis of GONG++ dopplergrams and the one derived from tracing small bright coronal structures (SBCS) using EIT/SOHO images for the period August 2001 - December 2006, which correspond to the declining phase of solar cycle 23. Aims. The study aims to find a relationship between the rotation of the SBCS and the subphotospheric angular velocity. The northsouth asymmetries of both rotation velocity measurements are also investigated. Methods. Subphotospheric differential rotation was derived using ring-diagram analysis of GONG++ full-disk dopplergrams of 1 min cadence. The coronal rotation was derived by using an automatic method to identify and track the small bright coronal structures in EIT full-disk images of 6 hours cadence. Results. We find that the SBCS rotate faster than the considered upper subphotospheric layer (3Mm) by about 0.5 deg/day at the equator. This result joins the results of several other magnetic features (sunspots, plages, faculae, etc.) with a higher rotation than the solar plasma. The rotation rate latitudinal gradients of the SBCS and the subphotospheric layers are very similar. The SBCS motion shows an acceleration of about 0.005 deg/day/month during the declining phase of solar cycle 23, whereas the angular velocity of subsurface layers does not display any evident variation with time, except for the well known torsional oscillation pattern. Finally, both subphotospheric and coronal rotations of the southern hemisphere are predominantly larger than those of the northern hemisphere. At latitudes where the north-south asymmetry of the angular velocity increases (decreases) with activity for the SBCS, it decreases (increases) for subphotospheric layers.

description: Este trabalho almeja discutir alguns aspectos da relação entre notação musical e performance de obras para violão solo de Heitor Villa-Lobos [1887-1959] à luz dos conceitos de conhecimento tácito e conhecimento explícito. Pequenos trechos musicais foram escolhidos com o intuito de elucidar questões como: o que a partitura revela e o que nela permanece oculto? Ou ainda: pode a performance explicitar conteúdos tácitos do texto musical? De que maneira isso ocorre? A busca por respostas plausíveis resultou na elaboração de um sistema de notação desmembrada em seis pautas, onde são representadas respectivamente as seis cordas do violão, de modo a explicitar as durações reais de cada som produzido no âmbito da performance. Esse recurso se inspira na discussão proposta por Charles Seeger acerca das funções prescritiva e descritiva da notação musical, conforme se vê adiante.

title: Interactions Between Plant Water-Stress and Neonicotinoid Insecticides on Spider Mite Infestations in Corn
Creators: name: Ruckert, Alice
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Spider mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) are an important agricultural pest of many crops and landscape plants. They can reproduce rapidly and quickly develop resistance to many pesticides, making them difficult to manage. Plant water-stress and high temperatures promote spider mite infestations, while spider mite outbreaks can also result from neonicotinoid insecticide applications. Drought is predicted to increase in the Intermountain West due to increases in temperature and reduced frequency of precipitation events in the region, and neonicotinoids are currently one of the most widely used classes of insecticides in field crops. I studied the interactive effect of these two simultaneously occurring abiotic factors on spider mite outbreaks and plant biosynthesis of herbivore-related defense proteins. I also evaluated ways to alleviate spider mite outbreaks with drought-tolerant corn and the exogenous application of plant phytohormones involved in plant resistance toward biotic stressors. I found that plant water-stress increased spider mites and that neonicotinoids exacerbated the effect of water-stress. Although applications of plant hormones did not reduce the effect of water-stress and neonicotinoids, drought tolerant corn showed promise in reducing the effect of water-stress and spider mite outbreaks.

description: It is widely thought that in steady, gravity-driven, unobstructed soap-film flows, the velocity increases monotonically downstream. Here we show experimentally that the velocity increases, peaks, drops abruptly, then lessens gradually downstream. We argue theoretically and verify experimentally that the abrupt drop in velocity corresponds to a Marangoni shock, a type of shock related to the elasticity of the film. Marangoni shocks induce locally intense turbulent fluctuations and may help elucidate the mechanisms that produce two-dimensional turbulence away from boundaries.

description: Pulsating stars occupy a significant place in the H-R diagram and it was thought that all stars inside the classical instability strip should pulsate. However, recent studies showed that there are many non-pulsating stars placed inside the classical instability strip. The existence of these non-pulsating stars is still a mystery. To deeply understand the properties of these non-pulsating and pulsating stars, one needs precise fundamental stellar parameters (e.g mass). For this purpose, the eclipsing binaries are unique systems. Hence, in this study, we present the TESS data analysis of one candidate pulsating eclipsing binary system V948\,Her. TESS data were used for the binary modelling with the literature radial velocity measurements and the precise fundamental parameters of the system were obtained. The system's age was derived as 1$\pm$0.24 Gyr. The positions of the binary components in the H-R diagram were examined and the primary component was found inside the $δ$\,Scuti instability strip. However, in the frequency analysis of TESS data, we found no significant pulsation frequencies. Only the harmonics of the orbital periods were obtained in the analysis. Therefore, the system was classified as a non-pulsator. V948\,Her is an important object to understand the nature of non-pulsating stars inside the $δ$\,Scuti instability strip.

description: Celebrou-se em 2013 o 30º aniversário da morte do padre e compositor Manuel Faria (1916 – 1983). Apesar da investigação já realizada, está por conhecer grande parte da sua obra, essencialmente devido à falta de um estudo exaustivo do espólio, nas suas múltiplas vertentes, que se encontra na Biblioteca Geral da Universidade de Coimbra. Este artigo – inserido no âmbito dos estudos em ʻperformance historicamente informadaʼ (Butt 2002) – parte do processo de pesquisa, tratamento e análise do acervo acima referido, para a discussão de questões que se colocam à reconstituição e edição de Due Mottetti per coro e organo (1944), tendo como objetivo principal partilhar experiências e discutir problemas relacionados com a organização, inventariação, catalogação, estudo e posterior performance das obras de Manuel Faria. A integração de peças soltas em unidades maiores, característico em Manuel Faria, colocou novos desafios à pesquisa que foram ultrapassados a partir de um estudo em publicações periódicas. A primeira audição moderna de Due Mottetti per coro e organo foi realizada a 12 de Abril de 2012, suscitando questões interpretativas que posteriormente, numa segunda fase, serão aprofundadas e analisadas aquando da apresentação da versão orquestral Três Motetes para Coro e Orquestra (1965) a realizar em Novembro de 2014.

description: Deep network-based image Compressed Sensing (CS) has attracted much attention in recent years. However, the existing deep network-based CS schemes either reconstruct the target image in a block-by-block manner that leads to serious block artifacts or train the deep network as a black box that brings about limited insights of image prior knowledge. In this paper, a novel image CS framework using non-local neural network (NL-CSNet) is proposed, which utilizes the non-local self-similarity priors with deep network to improve the reconstruction quality. In the proposed NL-CSNet, two non-local subnetworks are constructed for utilizing the non-local self-similarity priors in the measurement domain and the multi-scale feature domain respectively. Specifically, in the subnetwork of measurement domain, the long-distance dependencies between the measurements of different image blocks are established for better initial reconstruction. Analogically, in the subnetwork of multi-scale feature domain, the affinities between the dense feature representations are explored in the multi-scale space for deep reconstruction. Furthermore, a novel loss function is developed to enhance the coupling between the non-local representations, which also enables an end-to-end training of NL-CSNet. Extensive experiments manifest that NL-CSNet outperforms existing state-of-the-art CS methods, while maintaining fast computational speed.

description: O ritual onde se utiliza o chá conhecido por Ayahuasca vem sendo ressignificado em contextos urbanos há mais de oito décadas, sobretudo após a sua expansão iniciada pelos movimentos religiosos. Experiência derivante dos povos da floresta amazônica, vem ultrapassando tanto fronteiras geográficas como culturais, sendo constantemente reinventada por mediadores culturais (Gruzinski 2004). A linha doutrinária conhecida por União do Vegetal - UDV, à qual direciono meu trabalho, vem ganhando terreno em alguns países europeus. Atualmente o ritual é vivenciado por mais de 17 mil pessoas espalhadas pelo globo e tem como característica, após a ingestão do chá, a utilização da música como uma das ferramentas mediadoras para a apreensão dos princípios doutrinários. Usualmente os mestres da UDV têm como característica a utilização de fonogramas de variadas categorias musicais, que adquirem uma dimensão simbólica e funcional no momento do ritual. Ao apresentar a comunidade estabelecida em Portugal - foco da minha pesquisa - trago elementos que abrangem, de uma forma mais geral, toda a comunidade da União do Vegetal. O enfoque parte da possibilidade de observar essa doutrina como um lugar de conhecimento sistematizado e formal, a qual apresenta uma ciência própria. Assim, a partir da proposta de Albuquerque (2011) que explora uma epistemologia dos saberes não acadêmicos, procuro perceber o protagonismo que a música assume como mediadora dos saberes doutrinários transmitidos no contexto da comunidade da UDV.

description: Solar photons possessing energy less than the band-gap of a single-junction solar cell can be utilized via the up-conversion (UC) of two or more photons, resulting in the emission of a single above-bandgap photon. Due to the non-linear nature of UC, highly concentrated light is required, which is typically much greater than the practical concentration limits of a solar cell. It has been proposed that concentrating up-conversion solar cells (UC-SC) with optical elements integrated into the device could help realize the high solar irradiance required. To avoid scattering problems arising from common UC materials based on micro-crystalline powders, in this work concentrators are investigated with mono-crystalline up-converters in silicon-based tandem devices. An external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 6% with 1493 nm infrared illumination at $876 W/m^2$ was obtained in upconverter device with concave integrated optics. At an irradiance higher than $90 W/m^2$ (equivalent to 2.95x in the 1450-1600 nm range), the non-concentrating UC-SC exhibited 1.5x higher EQE than the UC-SC with CPC, while below $90 W/m^2$ the CPC UC-SC exhibited 1.95x higher EQE than the non-concentrating reference device. Due to the negligible scattering of the UC layer, the distribution of localized irradiance is revealed along with its effect on the performance of devices. It is found that irradiance is accumulated within the first 1 mm of the UC layer with peaks at variable depths according to the concentrating scheme. These results suggest ample space for improved up-conversion devices by using integrated optics.

description: KI-Tools eröffnen auch an Hochschulen ungeahnte Möglichkeiten und bringen gleichzeitig erhebliche Herausforderungen mit sich, insbesondere betreffend Datensicherheit, Datenschutz, wissenschaftliche Integrität und Transparenz. Doch wer dient bei Fragen zu diesen Themen als Anlaufstelle für Hochschulangehörige? 

Bestehende Informationskompetenzen (IK), die traditionell durch Hochschulbibliotheken gefördert werden, gewinnen im dynamischen Feld der generativen KI zunehmend an Bedeutung. Gleichzeitig entstehen neue, sogenannte KI-Kompetenzen. Bietet sich Bibliotheken nun die Möglichkeit, sich innerhalb der Hochschullandschaft neu und zukunftsgerichtet zu positionieren? 

Wir von der ETH-Bibliothek haben uns mit dem Aufkommen der ersten Generation von KI-Werkzeugen rasch als erste Anlaufstelle für Fragen von Dozierenden und Studierenden rund um generative KI an der ETH Zürich etabliert. In diesem Beitrag reflektieren wir, wie es uns gelungen ist, schnell auf die Entwicklungen seit Oktober 2022 zu reagieren. Dabei wird deutlich, dass lange vorbereitete Massnahmen eine entscheidende Rolle gespielt haben. Wir verstehen uns als Bildungspartnerin der ETH Zürich, vernetzen uns seit langem mit relevanten Akteuren und streben danach, IK nachhaltig in den Curricula zu verankern. Gleichzeitig haben wir erkannt, dass eine unkomplizierte Bottom-up-Strategie erforderlich ist, um kurzfristig auf neue Entwicklungen reagieren zu können, die auf den drei Säulen Organisationsentwicklung, Vernetzung und neue Services im Bereich generative KI basiert. Im Vortrag stellen wir die Ergebnisse eines Projektes vor, das wir mit Fördergeldern der ETH Zürich umsetzen. Hier haben wir Informations- und Veranstaltungsgefässe geschaffen, in denen sich unsere Zielgruppen laufend zum Thema informieren können. Zum anderen geben wir einen Einblick in einen unserer Kurse, in dem die Schnittstelle zwischen wissenschaftlichem Schreiben mit KI-Tools und wissenschaftlicher Integrität abgedeckt wird.
