By a simple femtosecond laser process, we fabricated metal-oxide/gold composite films for electrical and optical gas sensors. We designed a dripple wavelength AWG-spectrometer, matched to the plasma absorption wavelength region of the composite films. H2/CO absorptions fit well with the AWG design for multi gas detection sensor arrays
Why do some countries assign a major role to wind energy in decarbonizing their electricity systems, while others are much less committed to this technology? We argue that processes of (de-)legitimation, driven by discourse coalitions who strategically employ certain storylines in public debates, provide part of the answer. To illustrate our approach, we comparatively investigate public discourses surrounding wind energy in Austria and Switzerland, two countries that differ strongly in wind energy deployment. By combining a qualitative content analysis and a discourse network analysis of 808 newspaper articles published 2010–2020, we identify four distinct sets of storylines used to either delegitimize or legitimize the technology. Our study indicates that low deployment rates in Switzerland can be related to the prominence of delegitimizing storylines in the public discourse, which result in a rather low socio-political acceptance of wind energy. In Austria, by contrast, there is more consistent support for wind energy by discourse coalitions using a broad set of legitimizing storylines. By bridging the related but separate literatures of technology legitimacy and social acceptance, our study contributes to a better understanding of socio-political conflict and divergence in low-carbon technological pathways.
Objectives: The MetabQoL 1.0 is the first disease-specific health related quality of life (HrQoL) questionnaire for patients with intoxication-type inherited metabolic disorders. Our aim was to assess the validity and reliability of the MetabQoL 1.0, and to investigate neuropsychiatric burden in our patient population. Methods: Data from 29 patients followed at a single center, aged between 8 and 18 years with the diagnosis of methylmalonic acidemia (MMA), propionic acidemia (PA) or isovaleric acidemia (IVA), and their parents were included. The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQoL) was used to evaluate the validity and reliability of MetabQoL 1.0.
Results: The MetabQoL 1.0 was shown to be valid and reliable (Cronbach's alpha: 0.64–0.9). Fourteen out of the 22 patients (63.6%) formally evaluated had neurological findings. Of note, 17 out of 20 patients (85%) had a psychiatric disorder when evaluated formally by a child and adolescent psychiatrist. The median mental scores of the MetabQoL 1.0 proxy report were significantly higher than those of the self report (p = 0.023). Patients with neonatal-onset disease had higher MetabQoL 1.0 proxy physical (p = 0.008), mental (p = 0.042), total scores (p = 0.022); and self report social (p = 0.007) and total scores (p = 0.043) than those with later onset disease.
Conclusions: This study continues to prove that the MetabQoL 1.0 is an effective tool to measure what matters in intoxication-type inherited metabolic disorders. Our results highlight the importance of clinical assessment complemented by patient reported outcomes which further expands the evaluation toolbox of inherited metabolic diseases.
In this paper, we consider the question of data aggregation using the practical example of emissions data for economic activities for the sustainability assessment of regional bank clients. Given the current scarcity of company-specific emission data, an approximation relies on using available public data. These data are reported in different standards in different sources. To determine a mapping between the different standards, an adaptation to the Covariance Matrix Self-Adaptation Evolution Strategy is proposed. The obtained results show that high-quality mappings are found. Nevertheless, our approach is transferable to other data compatibility problems. These can be found in the merging of emissions data for other countries, or in bridging the gap between completely different data sets.
This study presents different approaches to increase the sensing area of NiO based semiconducting metal oxide gas sensors. Micro- and nanopatterned laser induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) are generated on silicon and Si/SiO2 substrates. The surface morphologies of the fabricated samples are examined by FE SEM. We select the silicon samples with an intermediate Si3N4 layer due to its superior isolation quality over the thermal oxide for evaluating the hydrogen and acetone sensitivity of a NiO based test sensor.
Daten im B2B-Ökosystem teilen und nutzen: Wie KMU Voraussetzungen schaffen und Hürden überwinden
(2024)
«Big Data» haben ein großes Potenzial, um die Wertschöpfung effizienter zu gestalten oder um Innovationen hervorzubringen. Daten werden oft an der Schnittstelle zwischen mehreren Akteuren in Business-to-Business-Ökosystemen generiert und sie müssen zwischen den Akteuren geteilt werden. Unternehmen tun sich jedoch schwer damit, Daten in Werte zu transferieren und die Daten im Ökosystem zu teilen. Ursächlich sind weniger technische Gründe als organisationale Rahmenbedingungen. Der Beitrag identifiziert fünf Perspektiven, die Hürden und Voraussetzungen in diesem Prozess darstellen: (1) eine datengetriebene Organisationskultur, (2) Vertrauen zwischen den Akteuren, (3) die Konkretisierung des Wertes von Daten, (4) Datensicherheit und (5) rechtliche und Governance-Aspekte. Eine Fallstudie eines typischen Daten-Ökosystems um ein produzierendes KMU konkretisiert diese Voraussetzungen und Hürden. Es zeigt sich, dass sich Unternehmen, die Daten im Ökosystem teilen möchten, ganzheitlich verändern müssen.
Das Konzept der entscheidungsgetriebenen Organisation basiert auf der Tatsache, dass jede Aktivität entlang der arbeitsteiligen Wertschöpfung in einer Organisation1 im Kern auf Entscheidungen beruht, die aneinander anknüpfen.2 Jede Aktivität kann man vollziehen oder unterlassen, beide Möglichkeiten sind zunächst gleichgewichtig. Jede argumentative Begründung für eine Aktivität ist dabei zugleich eine Begründung gegen alle anderen, ebenso möglichen Aktivitäten. Da dies für alle wertschöpfenden Aktivitäten in einer Organisation gilt, werden Entscheidungen von jeder an der arbeitsteiligen Leistungserstellung beteiligten Person getroffen.
Coupling is one of the most frequently mentioned metric in software systems. However, to measure logical coupling between microservices, runtime information is needed or the availability of service-log files to analyze the calls between services is required. This work presents our emerging results, in which we propose a metric to statically calculate logical coupling between microservices based on commits to versioning systems. We performed an initial validation of the proposed metric with a dataset containing 145 open-source microservices projects. The results illustrate how logical coupling affects every system and increases overtime. However, we did not find a correlation between the number of commits or the number of developers and the introduction of logical coupling. In future, we investigate why, how, and when logical coupling is introduced in a system.
