Subjects: subject: 610 Medizin

description: Eine gute Luftqualität in Gruppen- und Schulräumen ist grundlegende Voraussetzung für Konzentration und Gesundheit von Kindern und Betreuern, Lehrern und Schülern. Eine erhöhte Kohlenstoffdioxid(CO2)-Konzentration im Raum kann mit einer erhöhten Bakterienkonzentration sowie erhöhten Infektions- und Abwesenheitsraten bei Schülern und Lehrern korrelieren. Die CO2-Konzentration dient zudem als Indikator für andere Innenraumluft-Parameter sowie für das Lüftungsverhalten der Raumnutzer. Deshalb hat das Umweltbundesamt (UBA) Leitwerte für die CO2-Konzentration in Innenräumen formuliert. Das Gesundheitsamt Vogtlandkreis möchte an den Schulen und Kindertageseinrichtungen des Landkreises das Bewusstsein für diese Zusammenhänge stärken und die Raumluftqualität im Interesse der Kinder und Erzieher dauerhaft verbessern. Es besteht die Möglichkeit, eine sogenannte „Lüftungsampel“ auszuleihen oder anzuschaffen, welche die aktuelle CO2-Konzentration im Raum misst. Die Lämpchen in den Farben einer Ampel zeigen an, wann einem Raum frische Luft zugeführt werden sollte. Die Festlegung von Lüftungsregimes und -verantwortlichen sowie die Einbeziehung der Kinder sollen unter Beachtung der individuellen Gegebenheiten schnelle und dauerhafte Resultate und Verbesserungen bringen. Insgesamt kann mit einfach umzusetzenden Maßnahmen ein Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Gesundheit und Leistungsfähigkeit der Kinder und Pädagogen erbracht werden.

MAKING BETTER USE OF LIGHT: ADDRESSING OPTICAL CHALLENGES WITH METASURFACES
Creators: name: Wang, Di
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Classical and physical optics

description: The capability of light goes well beyond illumination, yet it is so underused in our lives because the control of light still largely relies on clumsy bulk lenses. Less than 10 years ago, a type of revolutionary devices made of nanometer scale optical elements – metasurfaces – was invented to control the light propagation and its energy dissipation with arbitrary degree of freedom, at unprecedentedly small volumes (although some would argue that the advent of metasurfaces came in the 1990s). Vast diversity of new discoveries has since been made possible, and many more existing applications have seen significant performance enhancement with the aid of metasurfaces.
 In the scope of this work, I explore the use of a variety of metasurfaces to address several existing real-world challenges: sensing, optical heating, and data storage. Among these, three metasurfaces involve the world’s first two-dimensional material, graphene. I first investigate the graphene plasmonic resonator, which have been shown to be extremely sensitive single-molecule sensors. Graphene also has many intriguing properties in photodetection applications, such as lightweight, ultra-wide detection band, and ultrafast response speed. I have used two different metasurfaces to enhance the intrinsically low responsivity (sensitivity) of graphene photodetectors. Amidst the discussion of graphene photodetectors, I show the characterization result of plasmonic heating of metasurfaces, an essential process of the graphene photo-responsivity enhancement. Lastly, I present a multi-functional metasurface which can be used in optical steganography, encryption, and data storage. The proposed metasurface is compatible with large scale parallel readout, which outperforms current Blu-ray technology in both storage capacity and readout speed

Failure Prediction for Composite Materials with Generalized Standard Models

Year: 2019
Subjects: Composite and hybrid materials
Theory and design of materials

description: Despite the advances of analytical and numerical methods for composite materials, it is still challenging to predict the onset and evolution of their different failure mechanisms. Because most failure mechanisms are irreversible processes in thermodynamics, it is beneficial to model them within a unified thermodynamic framework. Noting the advantages of so-called generalized standard models (GSMs) in this regard, the objective of this work is to formulate constitutive models for several main failure mechanisms: brittle fracture, interlaminar delamination, and fatigue behavior for both continuum damage and delamination, in a generalized standard manner.
For brittle fracture, the numerical difficulties caused by damage and strain localization in traditional finite element analysis will be addressed and overcome. A nonlocal damage model utilizing an integral-type regularization technique will be derived based on a recently developed ``local'' continuum damage model. The objective is to make this model not only rigorously handle brittle fracture, but also incorporate common damage behavior such as damage anisotropy, distinct tensile and compressive damage behavior, and damage deactivation. A fully explicit integration scheme for the present model will be developed and implemented.
For fatigue continuum damage, a viscodamage model, which can handle frequently observed brittle damage phenomena, is developed to produce stress-dependent fatigue damage evolution. The governing equation for damage evolution is derived using an incremental method. A class of closed-form incremental constitutive relations is derived.
For interlaminar delamination, a cohesive zone model (CZM) will be proposed. Focus is placed on making the associated cohesive elements capable of displaying experimental critical energy release rate--mode mixture ratio relationships. To achieve this goal, each cohesive element is idealized as a deformable string exhibiting path dependent damage behavior. A damage model having a path dependence function will be developed, which will be constructed such that each cohesive element can exhibit designated, possibly sophisticated mixed-mode behavior. The rate form of the cohesive law will be subsequently derived.
Finally, a CZM for interlaminar fatigue, capable of handling brittle damage behavior, is developed to produce realistic interlaminar crack propagation under high-cycle fatigue. An implicit integration scheme, which can handle complex separation paths and mixed-mode delamination, is developed. Many numerical examples will be utilized to clearly demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed nonlocal damage model, continuum fatigue damage model, and CZMs for quasi-static and fatigue delamination.
White Teachers, Racial Topics: Practical Applications of Second Wave Whiteness

Secondary education

description: The field of education in the United States is dominated by white educators, many of whom discuss race with their students. Often, white teachers do not know how to discuss race and may shy away from such discussions due to their insecurity with the topic of race. I realized my own ineptitude with racial discussion, and I wanted to find a way to scaffold racial discussions in classrooms, especially classrooms that were mostly white where teachers and students alike may tend to evade the whole discussion of race. I believe that Second Wave Whiteness (SWW) offers a robust theoretical framework to help white teachers discuss race with their white students. Other studies have investigated how white teachers talk about race, but there are few studies that investigate this in the context of a classroom with mostly white students and even fewer that have investigated the efficacy of SWW in practice in this context by directly measuring students’ progress. I conducted a study in which I observed a mostly white class of high school seniors taking an African American literature course that was taught by a white teacher. The teacher and some elements of the study design were influenced by SWW. Throughout the study, I collected and measured students’ responses to journal prompts, discussions, and surveys. Through a quantitative and qualitative analysis, I found that students’ comfort when talking about race increased, students’ change was associated with their beliefs at the beginning of the study, and that students’ politics predicted their engagement. My findings add to a broader body of work that suggests that SWW has a place in practical classroom application and that it may help students and teachers to develop down the path of anti-racism. This study further implies that SWW may have a place in de-radicalization techniques for white students who are resistant to ideas of anti-racism.

IRRIGATION, ADAPTATION, AND WATER SCARCITY
Creators: name: Haqiqi, Iman
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Agricultural economics

description: Economics is about the management of scare resources. In agricultural production, water stress and excess heat are the main constraints. The three essays of this dissertation try to improve our understandings of how climate and water resources interact with agricultural markets, and how global changes in agricultural markets may affect water resources. I construct empirical and simulation models to explain the interplay between agriculture and water. These models integrate economic theories with environmental sciences to analyze the hydroclimatic and economic information at different geospatial scales in a changing climate. In the first essay, I illustrate how irrigation, as a potential adaptation channel, can reduce the volatility of crop yields and year-on-year variations caused by the projected heat stress. This work includes estimation of yield response to climate variation for irrigated and rainfed crops; and global projections of change in the mean and the variation of crop yields. I use my estimated response function to project future yield variations using NASA NEX-GDDP climate data. I show that the impact of heat stress on rainfed corn is around twice as big as irrigated practices. In the second essay, I establish a framework for estimating the value of soil moisture for rainfed production. This framework is an extension of Schlenker and Roberts (2009) model enabled by the detailed soil moisture information available from the Water Balance Model (WBM). An important contribution is the introduction of a cumulative yield production function considering the daily interaction of heat and soil moisture. I use this framework to investigate the impacts of soil moisture on corn yields in the United States. However, this framework can be used for the valuation of other ecosystem services at daily basis. In the third essay, I have constructed a model that explains how the global market economy interacts with local land and water resources. This helps us to broaden the scope of global to local analysis of systems sustainability. I have employed SIMPLE-G-W (a Simplified International Model of agricultural Prices, Land use, and the Environment- Gridded Water version) to explain the reallocation across regions. The model is based on a cost minimization behavior for irrigation technology choice for around 75,000 grid cells in the United States constrained by water rights, water availability, and quasi-irreversibility of groundwater supply. This model is used to examine the vulnerability of US land and water resources from global changes.

Facilitated Transport of Antibiotics by Biochar Under Rainfall Simulations
Creators: name: Funk, Andrea Jayne
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Agronomy

description: From an agronomic perspective, the spreading of manure (sometimes containing antibiotics) onto agricultural fields is beneficial to the soil as a renewable source of fertilizer by increasing organic matter and providing nutrient inputs for crops. However, the use of antibiotics can be excessive, resulting in manures containing residual antibiotics contaminating soils and waterways. Thus, there is a need to improve existing or develop new management practices to minimize the losses of antibiotics from manure entering waterways and groundwater. Biochar is a carbon-rich material produced from the oxygen-free pyrolysis of biomass. Generally, biochars have high surface area and sorb organic compounds and trace metals; thus, it is reasonable to hypothesize that biochars sorb antibiotics. The main goal of this research was to investigate if incorporated biochar to soil facilitates the transport of antibiotics under simulated rainstorm events. The specific objectives were to investigate the losses of surface-applied antibiotics to soils with different (1) application rates of biochar and rainfall intensities, and (2) if the losses were antibiotic type-dependent.

description: This thesis focuses on optimization on a generic objective function based on reflected Brownian motion (RBM). We investigate in several approaches including the partial differential equation approach where we write our objective function in terms of a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation using the dynamic programming principle and the gradient descent approach where we use two different gradient estimators. We provide extensive numerical results with the gradient descent approach and we discuss the difficulties and future study opportunities for this problem.

AGGLOMERATION STRUCTURE OF ETHNIC RESTAURANTS AND THE EFFECT OF ACCEPTANCE IN THE U.S.

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Hospitality management

description: As the attention of ethnic restaurants grow from consumers, researchers have questioned the proper assessment of identifying ethnic restaurant consumer demand and where ethnic restaurants should locate accordingly. For this reason, past literature has focused on demographic features to answer these questions. However, unlike non-ethnic restaurant demand, ethnic restaurant demand cannot be fully explained by demographics since the demand for ethnic restaurants consist of two major groups, which are non-ethnic and ethnic consumers. The two consumer groups differ in location, which ethnic consumers are clustered while other non-ethnic consumers are spread across the geographical plain. The two consumer groups also differ in acceptance which ethnic consumers have a pre-established notion of the ethnic restaurant theme while non-ethnic consumers require acceptance to consume. This study proposes that since ethnic restaurants have these differences ethnic restaurants show difference in clustering patterns. More specifically this study attempts to identify whether higher acceptance from non-ethnic consumers allow ethnic restaurants to expand to other non-ethnic consumer regions while ethnic restaurants are mostly clustered in ethnic communities. In addition, the study further investigates whether ethnic restaurant clustering patterns differ by its restaurant price segment. The empirical results of this study show that acceptance of ethnic food, general restaurant opinion, and country of origin plays a crucial role in ethnic restaurants to diffuse to non-ethnic consumers while ethnic restaurants agglomerate near ethnic communities. However, higher price restaurants were found cluster stronger than lower price restaurants to reduce search cost for consumers which confirms previous studies. Finally, this study found that acceptance of food and general restaurant opinion from non-ethnic consumers affects ethnic restaurants in the ethnic community to diffuse but acceptance of country of origin showed ethnic restaurants in ethnic communities to cluster which suggest that cultural aspects allow ethnic restaurants to cluster stronger in ethnic communities.

description: Gemcitabine (Gem) is used as a single agent or in combination with other anticancer agents to treat many types of solid tumors. However, it has many limitations such as a short plasma half-life, dose-limiting toxicities and drug resistance. Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are short peptides which may deliver a large variety of cargo molecules into the cancerous cells. The current study was designed to evaluate the antiproliferative activity of gemcitabine chemically conjugated to CPPs. The peptides were synthesized using solid phase synthesis procedure. The uptake efficiency of CPPs into cells was examined by flow cytometry and fluorescent microscopy. The synthesized peptides were chemically conjugated to Gem and the in vitro cytotoxicity of conjugates was tested by MTT assay on A594 cell line. According to the obtained results, cellular uptake was increased with increasing the concentration of CPPs. On the other hand the coupling of Gem with peptides containing block sequence of arginine (R5W3R4) and some alternating sequences (i.e. [RW]6 and [RW]3) exhibited improved antitumor activity of the drug. The findings in this study support the advantages of using cell-penetrating peptides for improving intracellular delivery of Gem into tumor as well as its activity.

description: Transcripts are known to be incorporated in particles of DNA viruses belonging to the families of Herpesviridae and Mimiviridae, but the presence of transcripts in other DNA viruses, such as poxviruses, has not been analyzed yet. Therefore, we first established a next-generation-sequencing (NGS)-based protocol, enabling the unbiased identification of transcripts in virus particles. Subsequently, we applied our protocol to analyze RNA in an emerging zoonotic member of the Poxviridae family, namely Cowpox virus. Our results revealed the incorporation of 19 viral transcripts, while host identifications were restricted to ribosomal and mitochondrial RNA. Most viral transcripts had an unknown and immunomodulatory function, suggesting that transcript incorporation may be beneficial for poxvirus immune evasion. Notably, the most abundant transcript originated from the D5L/I1R gene that encodes a viral inhibitor of the host cytoplasmic DNA sensing machinery.

description: In a patient transferred from Togo to Cologne, Germany, Lassa fever was diagnosed 12 days post mortem. Sixty-two contacts in Cologne were categorised according to the level of exposure, and gradual infection control measures were applied. No clinical signs of Lassa virus infection or Lassa specific antibodies were observed in the 62 contacts. Thirty-three individuals had direct contact to blood, other body fluids or tissue of the patients. Notably, with standard precautions, no transmission occurred between the index patient and healthcare workers. However, one secondary infection occurred in an undertaker exposed to the corpse in Rhineland-Palatinate, who was treated on the isolation unit at the University Hospital of Frankfurt. After German authorities raised an alert regarding the imported Lassa fever case, an American healthcare worker who had cared for the index patient in Togo, and who presented with diarrhoea, vomiting and fever, was placed in isolation and medevacked to the United States. The event and the transmission of Lassa virus infection outside of Africa underlines the need for early diagnosis and use of adequate personal protection equipment (PPE), when highly contagious infections cannot be excluded. It also demonstrates that larger outbreaks can be prevented by infection control measures, including standard PPE.

description: Multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli infections are a growing public health concern. This study analyzed the possibility of contamination of commercial poultry meat (broiler and free-range) with pathogenic and or multi-resistant E. coli in retail chain poultry meat markets in India. We analyzed 168 E. coli isolates from broiler and free-range retail poultry (meat/ceca) sampled over a wide geographical area, for their antimicrobial sensitivity, phylogenetic groupings, virulence determinants, extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL) genotypes, fingerprinting by Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus (ERIC) PCR and genetic relatedness to human pathogenic E. coli using whole genome sequencing (WGS). The prevalence rates of ESBL producing E. coli among broiler chicken were: meat 46%; ceca 40%. Whereas, those for free range chicken were: meat 15%; ceca 30%. E. coli from broiler and free-range chicken exhibited varied prevalence rates for multi-drug resistance (meat 68%; ceca 64% and meat 8%; ceca 26%, respectively) and extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) contamination (5 and 0%, respectively). WGS analysis confirmed two globally emergent human pathogenic lineages of E. coli, namely the ST131 (H30-Rx subclone) and ST117 among our poultry E. coli isolates. These results suggest that commercial poultry meat is not only an indirect public health risk by being a possible carrier of non-pathogenic multi-drug resistant (MDR)-E. coli, but could as well be the carrier of human E. coli pathotypes. Further, the free-range chicken appears to carry low risk of contamination with antimicrobial resistant and extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC). Overall, these observations reinforce the understanding that poultry meat in the retail chain could possibly be contaminated by MDR and/or pathogenic E. coli.

description: Structural health monitoring and building assessment are crucial to acquire structures’ states and maintain their conditions. Besides human-labor surveys that are subjective, time-consuming, and expensive, autonomous image and video analysis is a faster, more efficient, and non-destructive way. This thesis focuses on crack detection from videos, crack segmentation from images, and building assessment from street view images. For crack detection from videos, three approaches are proposed based on local binary pattern (LBP) and support vector machine (SVM), deep convolution neural network (DCNN), and fully-connected network (FCN). A parametric Naïve Bayes data fusion scheme is introduced that registers video frames in a spatiotemporal coordinate system and fuses information based on Bayesian probability to increase detection precision. For crack segmentation from images, the rotation-invariant property of crack is utilized to enhance the segmentation accuracy. The architectures of several approximately rotation-invariant DCNNs are discussed and compared using several crack datasets. For building assessment from street view images, a framework of multiple DCNNs is proposed to detect buildings and predict their attributes that are crucial for flood risk estimation, including founding heights, foundation types (pier, slab, mobile home, or others), building types (commercial, residential, or mobile home), and building stories. A feature fusion scheme is proposed that combines image feature with meta information to improve the predictions, and a task relation encoding network (TREncNet) is introduced that encodes task relations as network connections to enhance multi-task learning.

description: Background: Epidemiological studies suggest that reduced exposure to varicella might lead to an increased risk for herpes zoster (HZ). Reduction of exposure to varicella is a consequence of varicella vaccination but also of demographic changes. We analyzed how the combination of vaccination programs and demographic dynamics will affect the epidemiology of varicella and HZ in Germany over the next 50 years. Methods: We used a deterministic dynamic compartmental model to assess the impact of different varicella and HZ vaccination strategies on varicella and HZ epidemiology in three demographic scenarios, namely the projected population for Germany, the projected population additionally accounting for increased immigration as observed in 2015/2016, and a stationary population. Results: Projected demographic changes alone result in an increase of annual HZ cases by 18.3% and a decrease of varicella cases by 45.7% between 1990 and 2060. Independently of the demographic scenario, varicella vaccination reduces the cumulative number of varicella cases until 2060 by approximately 70%, but also increases HZ cases by 10%. Unlike the currently licensed live attenuated HZ vaccine, the new subunit vaccine candidate might completely counteract this effect. Relative vaccine effects were consistent across all demographic scenarios. Conclusion: Demographic dynamics will be a major determinant of HZ epidemiology in the next 50 years. While stationary population models are appropriate for assessing vaccination impact, models incorporating realistic population structures allow a direct comparison to surveillance data and can thus provide additional input for immunization decision-making and resource planning.

description: The goal of the project is to harvest content regarding archaeology and architecture (mostly monuments) from

a number of content providers, and deliver it to Europeana. The technical architecture has been implemented

and supported by the two technical partners of the project: National Technical University of Athens (NTUA)

and Digital Curation Unit of the Athena Research Centre (DCU).

This deliverable describes in detail the live harvesting system for the CARARE project, which allows content

providers to provide their content to the CARARE system using a methodology which will allow for regular

automated harvests. There are two main components:

a) The CARARE metadata mapping and ingestion system and

b) The CARARE repository.

Section 3 summarises the main components of the aggregation service.

Section 4 summarises the CARARE metadata mapping and ingestion system which was described in full in

earlier deliverables (D2.3 and D3.4). The systems went live in April 2011 following testing.

Section 5 describes the CARARE repository and the functionality that it offers to CARARE content providers

to search for and manage their content, and the OAI-PMH delivery services provided to supply metadata to

Europeana. Content ingestion began in April 2011 when the system went live following testing.

Section 6 confirms the metadata formats that CARARE will deliver to Europeana.

This report presents the CARARE harvesting system and its two main components, the metadata mapping and

ingestion tool and the repository service, which both went live during April 2011 to coincide with the delivery

of a series of training workshops for content providers. The harvesting of content via the mapping tool to the

CARARE repository has now begun.

Investigation of Residual Stresses after Shot Peening Processing

description: Mechanical surface treatments using an elastic-plastic cold working process can develop residual stresses on the surface of a workpiece. Compressive residual stresses on the surface increase resistance against surface crack propagation, so the overall mechanical performance can be improved by this technique. Compressive residual stresses can be created by different methods such as hammering, rolling, and shot peening. Shot peening is a well-established method to induce compressive residual stresses in the metallic components using cold working, and often ascribed to being beneficial to fatigue life in the aerospace and automobile industries. In this method, the surface is bombarded by high-velocity spherical balls which cause plastic deformation of the substrate, leading to a residual compressive stress after shot peening on the surface of the part. Computational modeling is an appropriate and effective way which can predict the amount of produced residual stresses and plastic deformation to obtain surface roughness after shot peening simulation. Finally, an experimental method to measure the magnitude of the residual stress using a nanoindentation technique was developed. The experimental indentation method was compared to both computational predictions (in aluminum) and with x-ray diffraction measurements of stress (in an alloy steel). The current study validates the relation between the nanoindentation method and numerical simulation for assessing the surface residual stresses resulting from single or multiple shot peening processes.
