Subjects: Wood Moisture transport Moisture gradient Monitoring Simulation

description: The hygroscopic behaviour of wood leads to changes in the physical and mechanical properties. The correct estimation of the moisture content is important for the design and life cycle of timber structures. Therefore experimental test series were performed to determine the moisture content distribution over the cross section as a function of loading duration, respecting the glue lines of glulam and block glued cross sections. Alongside, numerical simulations of the moisture diffusion process were set up and validated with the experimental test series. The correlation of the numerical simulation with the reality offers guidance in the design of timber structures.

Der Lamellenaufbau im Querschnitt ist geblieben, aber die Techniken in der Produktion und die eingesetzten Klebstofftypen haben sich im Laufe der Zeit geändert. Brettschichtholz (BSH) unterliegt einer strengen Qualitätskontrolle, in der die Leistungsfähigkeit der Klebefuge sichergestellt wird. In der Zustandserfassung von bestehenden Holztragwerken mit Brettschichtholzträgern wird die Leistungsfähigkeit der Klebefuge ebenfalls beurteilt. Hierzu werden die Seitenflächen von Brettschichtholzträgern bzgl. Risse im Holz und sogenannten Delaminierungen in einem ersten Schritt visuell und hand-nah von einer fachkundigen Person untersucht. Delaminierung bedeutet hierbei die Auflösung des Klebeverbundes.

description: Lead white is known as one of the oldest pigments in art and can be used as a dating material. Upon production following the Stack process, the 14C isotope of atmospheric carbon dioxide is fixed in the carbonate, and its radiocarbon dating can be used as a proxy for the age of a painting. The previously reported carbonate hydrolysis protocol reaches its limitation when confronted with samples presenting a mixture of carbonates, such as lead carbonate (cerussite or hydrocerussite), calcium carbonate (calcite), and/or calcium magnesium carbonate (dolomite). Thermogravimetric analyses indicate that decomposition of lead carbonate can be achieved at 350 °C in TGA diagrams, as other mineral carbonates only decompose to carbon dioxide at temperatures above 700 °C. Thus, a thermal approach is proposed to separate the various carbonates and isolate the specific 14C signature to the lead carbonate. In practice, however, discrepancies between the measured radiocarbon ages and expected ages were observed. FTIR analyses pointed to the formation of metal carboxylates, an indicator that the organic binder is not inert and plays a role in the dating strategy. Upon drying, oxidation and hydrolysis take place leading to the formation of free fatty acids, which in turn interact with the different carbonates upon heating. Their removal was achieved by introduction of a solvent extraction step prior to the thermal treatment, which was confirmed by GC-MS analyses, and thus, the collected carbon dioxide at 350 °C results can be assigned correctly to the decomposition of the lead white pigment. The proposed procedure was furthermore verified on mixed carbonate-bearing paint samples collected from a Baroque oil painting.

description: Milk and dairy products are rich in nutrients and are therefore habitats for various microbiomes. However, the composition of nutrients can be quite diverse, in particular among the sulfur containing amino acids. In milk, methionine is present in a 25-fold higher abundance than cysteine. Interestingly, a fraction of strains of the species L. paracasei – a flavor-enhancing adjunct culture species – can grow in medium with methionine as the sole sulfur source. In this study, we focus on genomic and evolutionary aspects of sulfur dependence in L. paracasei strains. From 24 selected L. paracasei strains, 16 strains can grow in medium with methionine as sole sulfur source. We sequenced these strains to perform gene-trait matching. We found that one gene cluster – consisting of a cysteine synthase, a cystathionine lyase, and a serine acetyltransferase – is present in all strains that grow in medium with methionine as sole sulfur source. In contrast, strains that depend on other sulfur sources do not have this gene cluster. We expanded the study and searched for this gene cluster in other species and detected it in the genomes of many bacteria species used in the food production. The comparison to these species showed that two different versions of the gene cluster exist in L. paracasei which were likely gained in two distinct events of horizontal gene transfer. Additionally, the comparison of 62 L. paracasei genomes and the two versions of the gene cluster revealed that this gene cluster is mobile within the species.
title: On transferability of graph neural networks

description: Diese Arbeit zielt darauf ab, neueste Ergebnisse zur Übertragbarkeit von Graph-Neuronalen Netzwerken zusammenzustellen. Zu Beginn werden klassische Literatur und Methoden überprüft, um ein Verständnis der zugrunde liegenden Ansätze zu erlangen. Anschließend werden spektrale Graph-Neuronale Netzwerke und Werkzeuge der Funktionalanalysis verwendet, um zu beweisen, dass Filter, die aus Funktionen im Cayley-Glattheitsraum gebildet werden, tatsächlich übertragbar sind. Im weiteren Verlauf untersuchen wir einen neueren Ansatz unter Verwendung von Graphons. Durch die Definition von Grenzobjekten von Graphen stellen wir fest, dass Filter, die unter Verwendung von Graphons definiert werden robust sind, wenn Glattheitsbeschränkungen der Aktivierungsfunktionen des jeweiligen neuronalen Netzwerks vorliegen. Diese Arbeit schließt mit möglichen Ausgangspunkten für neue Forschungsansätze im aktuellen maschinellen Lernen.
description: This thesis aims to compile recent results in the transferability of graph neural networks. At the start we review classical literature and methods in order to gain an understanding of the underlying methods. Then, by using spectral graph neural networks and tools from functional analysis, we prove that using filters, made from functions inside the Cayley smoothness space, are in fact transferable. Subsequently, we investigate a newer approach using graphons. By defining limit objects of graphs, we find that filters defined using graphons are especially robust, given smoothness restrictions of the activation functions of the given neural network. This thesis concludes by giving possible starting points for new research in current machine learning.

description: Friendships are vital for the well-being of young adults, yet their social network is often reduced during episodes of life-disruptive mental distress, such as psychosis. Despite this, our study shows that young adults do either maintain or build friendships during such periods and that these relationships are crucial for recovery in youth. As research on the role of friendships in the recovery journey of this group is limited, this study explores the significance of friendships for young adults engaged in early psychosis interventions to generate insights that can inform mental health recovery practices. In-depth life-story and intensive interviews were conducted with six young adult users of early psychosis intervention OPUS. Using abductive thematic analysis, two main themes and four subthemes emerged: (1) “Seeking different kinds of recovery support with different types of friends” with subthemes (1.1) “Seeking safety in life-witnessing friendships” and (1.2) “Shaping identity with friends in communities of interest”; and (2) “Belonging and unbelonging with friends and their significance to recovery in youth” with subthemes (2.1) “Struggling with friendship expectations perpetuates social isolation” and (2.2) “Connecting with friends enables belonging to humanity as a whole.” The findings highlight that, while social isolation can reinforce feelings of alienation, belonging with friends instills a sense of hope and meaning. The involvement of friends in early psychosis interventions may enhance social skills training, strengthen social bonds, and support the inclusion and well-being of young adults.
Bewertung der Holzfeuchte und deren Auswirkungen

description: Holz ist ein hygroskopisches Material und in der Lage aus dem umgebenden Klima Feuchtigkeit aufzunehmen oder abzugeben. Die sogenannte Holzfeuchte (MC) beeinflusst die Materialfestigkeiten und Steifigkeiten wie auch das Langzeittragverhalten. Für den Nachweis der Tragfähigkeit und Gebrauchstauglichkeit wird dieses Materialverhalten in der SIA 265:2012 oder der SN EN 1995-1- 1:2004 über die drei Feuchteklassen: Feuchteklasse 1 mit einer mittleren Holzfeuchte unter 12 M%; Feuchteklasse 2 mit einer Holzfeuchte von 12 M% bis 20 M%; und Feuchteklasse 3 für Holzfeuchten über 20 M%, berücksichtigt. Die Bedeutung der Holzfeuchte in Bezug auf mögliche Schäden im Holzbau zeigt die Studie von Frese & Blaß (2011), wo 50 % aller untersuchten Objekte eine Schädigung oder Versagen infolge von Holzfeuchtewechseln oder niedrigen und hohen Holzfeuchten aufweisen. Da die Verteilung der Holzfeuchte über den Querschnitt häufig nicht konstant ist entstehen durch das anisotrope Feuchte-Dehnungsverhalten interne Spannungen senkrecht zur Faser (Feuchte induzierte Spannungen, MIS). Diese Spannungen können leicht die charakteristische Zugfestigkeit senkrecht zur Faser von 0.4 N/mm2 überschreiten und zur Rissentwicklung führen, Jönsson (2004), Möhler & Steck (1980). In gekrümmten Brettschichtholzträgern können diese Spannungen u.a. auch zum kompletten Tragverlust, wie bei Aicher et al. (1998) oder Gustafsson et al. (1998) gezeigt, führen.
"You Can Only Give Warmth to Your Baby When It's Too Late" : Parents' Bonding With Their Extremely Preterm and Dying Child
Creators: name: Abraham, Andrea

Publisher: name: SAGE
Year: 2017

description: This study on end-of-life decisions in extremely preterm babies shows that the parents under study experience a multitude of stressors due to the immediate separation after birth, the alienating setting of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), the physical distance to the child, medical uncertainties, and upcoming decisions. Even though they are considered to be parents (assigned parenthood), they cannot act as primary caregivers. Instead, they depend on professional instructions for access and care. Embodied parenthood can be experienced only at the end-of-life, that is, during the dying trajectory and after the child's death. Professionally supporting parents during this compressed process (from assigned and distant to embodied parenthood) contributes fundamentally to their perception of being a family and supports their mourning. This calls for the further establishment of palliative and bereavement care concepts in neonatology.

Institutions and the Sectoral Organization of Production
Creators: name: Fernandes, Ana
Year: 2014
Subjects: Sectoral organization of output
institutions
contractual enforcement
input-output
complexity

description: The impact of economic institutions on development is presently taken for granted but there is surprisingly scarce evidence on the channels through which institutions affect the organization of output. Imperfections in contractual enforcement, for example, could lead firms to adopt technologies that inefficiently minimize dependence on other sectors, thus going hand in hand with a reduction in productivity. Another channel would be the concentration of economic activity in sectors that have fewer interactions with other sectors. Using a dataset on manufacturing, this paper presents empirical evidence supporting both effects: better contractual enforcement raises relatively more the labor share of sectors that interact more with other sectors; further, good governance also boosts relatively more labor productivity in more complex subsectors of manufacturing. Both effects are strongest among countries whose labor productivity ranks in the second and third quartiles of the world productivity distribution and they are mute for the two extreme groups of poor and developed economies.

description: MICE, the international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment, is a project to design, construct, operate and test a cell of a muon ionisation cooling channel that may be used for a future Muon Collider or Neutrino Factory.
The object of the MICE experiment is to take a beam of muons created from protons from the ISIS accelerator hitting a titanium target and to show that it is possible to create a narrow intense beam, using detector techniques from particle physics.The RECO data is the processed RAW output containing information about space points, particle tracks and so on, presented as tarballed ROOT files. It has been unpacked and reconstructed using the indicated version of the official software (MAUS) with the appropriate geometry information. Further analysis, e.g. derivation of beam parameters such as emittance, will again require MAUS.Tarballs of the RECO data output from MICE are available from:http://gfe02.grid.hep.ph.ic.ac.uk:8301/RECO/The MICE data and re-use policy is described in MICE Note 396:http://mice.iit.edu/mnp/MICE0396.pdfArchival copies of all MICE data are stored on tape at the GridPP Tier 1 at the Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory, Chilton, UK.

description: Ammonia (NH3) emissions from livestock production systems can be substantial but difficult to measure. Here we explore the relationship between NH3 emissions, the emission intensity (NH3-N emitted/product N) and the more easily measured feed Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE). Using a conceptual model, we find that the relationship between emission intensity and NUE is equivalent to that between NH3-N emission and feed N intake. Furthermore, there is a linear relationship between the two, with a slope that is dependent on characteristics of the animal and its feed, and the manure management system. This is illustrated using data taken from the emission inventories of six European countries, which found a linear relationship, with much variation within a commodity type. Using the same data, we show how the effects of animal and feed characteristics can be separated from those of the manure management system.

description: Implementing the shuffle proof of a verifiable mix-net is one of the most challenging tasks in the implementation of an electronic voting system. For non-specialists, even if they are experienced software developers, this task is nearly impossible to fulfill without spending an enormous amount of resources into studying the necessary cryptographic theory. In this paper, we present one of the existing shuffle proofs in a condensed form and explain all the necessary technical details in corresponding pseudo-code algorithms. The goal of presenting the shuffle proof in this form is to make it accessible to a broader audience and to facilitate its implementation by non-specialists.

Subjects: German-speaking part of Switzerland Physical activity Psychiatric disorders Psychiatric hospitals Sport participation

description: Physical activity and exercise programs (PAEPs) are an important factor in increasing and maintaining physical and mental health. This holds particularly true for patients with psychiatric disorders undergoing treatment in a psychiatric hospital. To understand whether the benefits reported in the literature are mirrored in current treatment modalities, the aim of the present study was to assess the current state of PAEPs in psychiatric hospitals in the German-speaking part of Switzerland.; All psychiatric hospitals (N=55) in the German-speaking part of Switzerland were contacted in spring 2014. Staff responsible for PAEPs were asked to complete an online questionnaire covering questions related to PAEPs such as type, frequency, staff training, treatment rationale, importance of PAEPs within the treatment strategy, and possible avenues to increase PAEPs.; Staff members of 48 different psychiatric hospitals completed the survey. Hospitals provided the following therapeutic treatments: relaxation techniques (100%), sports therapy (97%), activity-related psychotherapeutic interventions (95%), physiotherapy (85%), body therapies (59%), far-east techniques (57%), and hippotherapy (22%). Frequencies ranged from once/week to five times/week. Approximately 25% of patients participated in the PAEPs. Interventions were offered irrespective of psychiatric disorders. PAEP providers wanted and needed more vocational training.; All participating psychiatric hospitals offer a broad variety of PAEPs in their treatment curricula. However, the majority of inpatients do not participate in PAEPs. Furthermore, those who do participate cannot continue to do so following discharge. PAEP providers need specific extended vocational trainings and believe that the potential of PA should be improved.

description: Pseudotibiozus zophoribates sp. nov.
Figs 2 B, 3 E, 4 B, C, 5 B, D, 8
Diagnosis. Differs from the only known congener, P. cerasopus, by being larger (diameter of males 6.0– 6.6 mm, vs. 4.4–4.8 mm), by having the apical proplical lobe almost semi-circular with a parallel-sided, broadly or rounded mesapical process, and by having the apical lobe of metaplica almost egg-shaped.
Etymology. The name is a composite Greek noun in apposition, from zophos (darkness, dusk, also referring to the West) and oribates (mountaineer); it refers to the type locality, the West Usambara Mountains.
Material studied (total: 2 ♂♂)
Holotype: 1 ♂ TANZANIA, Tanga, W Usambara Mts, Mazumbai forest, 4°49’S, 38°30’E, 1400–1800 m asl, 10–20.xi.1995, C.E. Griswold, N. Scharff & D. Ubick leg. (ZMUC)
Paratype: 1 ♂ same data (ZMUC).
Description. Males.
SIZE. Body length 71–73 mm. Diameter 6.0– 6.6 mm. 43 body rings.
COLOUR (preserved specimens). Antennae and legs red, although less intensely so than in preserved specimens of P. cerasopus. Prozona and anterior part of metazona yellowish brown, posterior part of metazona dark brown, semi-transparent edge of metazona reddish.
MANDIBLES. Stipes with apicoventral lobe, no soft pad apically on the lobe. Gnathal lobe not studied with SEM, but apparently no group of small pointed pegs between pectinate lamellae and molar plate on dorsal surface, and no meso-dorsal lobe present between odontomere and sectile edge of psectromere.
GNATHOCHILARIUM (Fig. 3 E). Basal edge of median depression of mentum blunt, not overlying main part of mentum, not delimiting a proper cavity. Stipites without setae in basal half.
BODY RINGS (Fig. 2 B). Several rows of sigilla; rows sometimes irregular, especially below ozopore level.
LEGS. Length 0.9 × body diameter. First pair with only a few setae on coxosternum, not a large patch as in P. cerasopus. (Fig. 5 B).
GONOPODS (Figs 5 D, 8). Proplica club-shaped: base relatively narrow, largest width subapically. Apical lateral lobe (apl) with regularly rounded margin continuing in broadly rounded mesapical lobe. Metaplica with mesal margin turning laterad at ca. 70° just before end of proplica, forming a blunt “corner”; apical lobe (aml) tongue- or egg-shaped, hardly projecting laterad. Antetorsal process (atp) of telopodite (Fig. 5 D) projecting obliquely mesodistad, tip just visible between pro- and metaplica (Figs 8 C, D).
Females. Unknown.
Distribution. Only known from the type locality, Mazumbai forest in the West Usambara Mountains (Fig. 9).

Grabant, A., György, Z., Merkl, O. & Podlussány, A., det: E. Lazányi.
Diagnosis. Promere (Fig. 9) triangular, with no apical serrated lobe, medial surface of promere coarse. Anterior process of opisthomere (Fig. 10) rudimentary, shorter than posterior process, the latter better developed than in the other two subspecies. This peculiar shape of opisthomere visible from every direction (Figs. 11–13).
Vulvae similar to, but a bit thinner than those of M. p. kochi females (see there).
Remarks. Due to the small sample size (5 specimens altogether, but only 1 male and 2 females with body segments) body size parameters can not be suggested. In our case, body length and height seemed to be the smallest among the subspecies: the single male was 23.8 mm long (proposed range for males: 21–28 mm (Verhoeff 1907)), 1.7 mm high, with (44+2+T) segments, in the developmental stadium X; females were 29.9–30.1 mm long, 2.5–2.7 mm high, with (44+0+T)–(46+1+T) segments and in the developmental stadium XI. Differences in vulva structure of this subspecies may not be significant; this needs further investigations, involving more female specimens.

Strategic Planning in Banks, Embedded in a Dynamically Complex Financial System.
Creators: name: Hoffmann, Christian
name: Grösser, Stefan
Year: 2014

description: We move towards a new economic reality for financial institutions, emerging from one of the most difficult economic environments since the Great Depression, an environment that has created dramatic changes to the financial landscape. In this reality, attention to strategic decisionmaking and planning in banks is needed more than ever (Daruvala et al., 2012). This study focuses on the question of whether banks’ strategic planning and forecasting instruments are still valuable in today’s complex financial systems. Drawing on complexity theories, we, first, argue that traditional or existing methods of strategic planning are not appropriate.
