A1 - Thöns, Sebastian T1 - Decision theoretic approach for identification of optimal proof load with sparse resistance information N2 - Proof load testing may be performed to confirm the reliability of the bridge for an existing classification or to prove the reliability for a higher classification. In this paper, a probabilistic decision analysis approach is applied to the scenario for the evaluation of target proof load in the situation where information on the bridge resistance model is lacking. In this case, the resistance model is established by proof loading and taking very basic prior knowledge into account. The decision scenario is modelled in the context of the proof load test planner who shall choose the required load level for assessment of a bridge. The choice of the load level depends on the risks due to the testing and the expected benefit gain from the test. Information acquired about the loading response from monitoring during the proof load testing is modelled by taking basis in the model uncertainty formulation. The optimal proof load level for classification of a single lane, simply supported bridge of 8m span subjected to live load from very heavy (gross weight > 80 tons) transport vehicles was calculated. The optimal proof load level was identified as leading to a positive expected benefit gain to the decision maker while also satisfying target reliability criteria for remaining service life. The analysis was performed for the evaluation of bridge performance with respect to five classifications of very heavy transport vehicles with different vehicle weights and configurations.

Für die Berechnung der Gasausbreitung mit Gebäuden ist ein Windfeld erforderlich. Mit AUSTAL wird auch das diagnostische Windfeldmodell TALdia zur Verfügung gestellt, das mittels empirischer Ansätze die Rezirkulationszonen von Gebäuden und Hindernissen modelliert. Ein prognostisches Windfeldmodell auf Grundlage der Navier-Stokes-Gleichungen sollte bei komplexen Bebauungs-situationen bessere Berechnungsergebnisse liefern, was aber mit einem größeren Berechnungsaufwand verbunden ist. Im Rahmen eines IGF- Forschungsvorhabens wurde das prognostische Windfeldmodell OFWind als Open Source – Software entwickelt. Im Vergleich mit den experimentellen Ergebnissen des Forschungsvorhabens wird die Anwendbarkeit der beiden Windfeldmodelle bei drei komplexen Bebauungssituationen untersucht.

A1 - Resch-Genger, Ute T1 - pH-Activatable Singlet Oxygen-Generating Boron-dipyrromethenes N2 - Singlet oxygen can severely damage biological tissue, which is exploited in photodynamic therapy (PDT). In PDT, the effective range is limited by the distribution of the photosensitizer (PS) and the illuminated area. However, no distinction is made between healthy and pathological tissue, which can cause undesired damage. This encouraged us to exploit the more acidic pH of cancerous tissue and design pH-controllable singlet oxygen-generating boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes. A pH sensitivity of the dyes is achieved by the introduction of an electronically decoupled, photoinduced electron transfer (PET)-capable subunit in meso-position of the BODIPY core. To favor triplet-state formation as required for singlet Oxygen generation, iodine substituents were introduced at the chromophore core. The resulting pH-controlled singlet oxygen-generating dyes with pKa values in the physiological range were subsequently assessed regarding their potential as pH-controlled PS for PDT. Using HeLa cells, we could successfully demonstrate markedly different pH-dependent cytotoxicities upon illumination.

A1 - Gluth, Gregor T1 - Kinetics of Sulfide Oxidation in alkaline solutions studied by X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy N2 - The oxidation of sulfur in aqueous solutions is an important process in several geochemical and industrial contexts. In concrete technology, it is particularly relevant for the protection of steel reinforcement in slag cement-based concretes, as the presence of sulfides affects the passivation of the steel and corrosion initiation in the presence of chlorides. However, the knowledge about the kinetics of sulfide oxidation in alkaline solutions, such as concrete pore solutions, is incomplete. To address this issue, we prepared solutions with 0.80 M NaOH, and nominally 10, 100 and 350 mM HS−, respectively, and followed the evolution of the sulfur species during bubbling with oxygen-containing gas (concentration 100% or 22%) using X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy at the sulfur K-edge. Polysulfide, thiosulfate, sulfite and sulfate were identified and quantified via linear combination fitting of the spectra, using previously measured standards. A preliminary analysis of the results shows that the initial rate constant of sulfide oxidation depends strongly on the HS− concentration, while it less strongly depending on the oxygen concentration, in line with previous results for lower pH values. Approaches to fit the data to obtain the rate constants of all relevant reactions will be discussed.

T1 - A modified k-ε turbulence model for heavy gas dispersion in built-up environment N2 - For hazard assessment purposes, the dispersion of gases in complex urban areas is often a scenario to be considered. However, predicting the dispersion of heavy gases is still a challenge. In Germany, the VDI Guideline 3783, Part 1 and 2 is widely used for gas dispersion modelling. Whilst Part 1 uses a gauss model for calculating the dispersion of light or neutrally buoyant gases, Part 2 uses wind tunnel experiments to evaluate the heavier-than-air gas dispersion in generic built up areas. In practice, with this guideline, it is often not possible to adequately represent the existing obstacle configuration. To overcome this limitation, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods could be used. Whilst CFD models can represent obstacles in the dispersion area correctly, actual publications show that there is still further research needed to simulate the atmospheric flow and the heavy gas dispersion. This paper presents a modified k-ε-turbulence model that was developed in OpenFOAM v5.0 (England, London, The OpenFOAM Foundation Ltd Incorporated) to enhance the simulation of the atmospheric wind field and the heavy gas dispersion in built-up areas. Wind tunnel measurements for the dispersion of neutrally buoyant and heavy gases in built-up environments were used to evaluate the model. As a result, requirements for the simulation of the gas dispersion under atmospheric conditions have been identified and the model showed an overall good performance in predicting the experimental values.

Zur Identifizierung von Gefahrenbereichen im Zusammenhang mit Gasfreisetzungen und zur Bewertung der Wirksamkeit von Schutzmaßnahmen werden Ausbreitungsrechnungen mithilfe verschiedener Modelle durchgeführt. Es werden zunehmend komplexere Berechnungsmodelle eingesetzt, die verlässlichere Prognosen liefern und helfen sollen, die Risiken durch windgetriebene Ausbreitung von Gasen weiter zu reduzieren. Mit steigender Komplexität der Simulationsverfahren steigen allerdings auch der Aufwand für die Entwicklung und die anwendungsbezogene Evaluierung neuer Modelle. Mit den vorgestellten Arbeiten wollen die Autoren einen Beitrag zur Entwicklung und Bereitstellung frei verfügbarer numerischer Strömungs- und Transportmodelle leisten und speziell die Weiterentwicklung der im Bereich Auswirkungsbetrachtungen verwendeten Werkzeuge unterstützen. Der Artikel beschreibt erste Problemlösungen auf dem Weg zur Entwicklung entsprechender, frei verfügbarer und angemessen validierter Softwaretools. N2 - Possible releases of hazardous materials from industrial sites pose substantial risks for people and the environment. Thus, they must be considered during planning, licensing, and operation of corresponding facilities. Different types of models are employed for identifying danger zones in the context of gaseous releases and to document the effect of protection measures. Numerical simulation tools of increasing physical complexity are utilized to obtain more reliable predictions and further reduce the risks associated gaseous hazmat releases. However, the increasing physical and Computational complexity of simulation tools is also raising the efforts needed for model development and application specific model evaluation. The work presented in this article is intended to foster the development of more sophisticated and freely available numerical flow and transport models, contributing to the further improvement of software tools available for respective consequence analysis and assessment. The article describes some first problems to be adequately addressed and solved on the way to a properly validated community modelling toolbox for near field dispersion of releases in complex industrial environments.

It is found that the figures of merit achieved are quite comparable for all three pumps. Relative standard deviations (RSDs) range between 0.2% and 1.8%, and limits of detection as low as 0.1 μg/L have been achieved , demonstrating that the easy click principle of the new pump does not compromise the analytical figures of merit.

T1 - Integration of beta-NaYF4 Upconversion Nanoparticles into Polymers for Polymer Optical Fiber Applications N2 - Producing active polymer optical fibers (POFs) is a key step towards new applications such as fluorescent fiber solar concentrators (FFSCs), sensors, contactless coupling devices, or fiber integrated light sources and lasers. Therefore, integration of fluorescent nanoparticles into the polymer matrix is necessary and becomes accessible via in situ polymerization. For optical applications, the polymer has to fulfill various requirements such as chemical and physical stability, optical transparency in the application-relevant spectral region as well as a good synthetic accessibility. A common material for these is poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The beta-phase NaYF4 : Yb3+, Er3+ upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP) were synthesized from the rare earth salts via thermal decomposition method in high-boiling point solvent 1-octadecene and capping agent oleic acid. Current results show hazy samples of the polymer with integrated nanoparticles made from monomer solution of methyl methacrylate. However, further optical tuning such as increasing the transparency of the bulk samples by changing the monomer solution to non-polar n-butyl methacrylate (nButMA) or cyclohexyl methacrylate (CHMA) or further optimization of the UCNP shell could lead to more suitable polymer bulk samples.

T1 - CCQM-K95.1 Low-polarity analytes in a botanical matrix: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in tea N2 - Extraction, chromatographic separation, and quantification of low-concentration organic compounds in complex matrices are core challenges for reference material producers and providers of calibration services. Evidence of successful participation in formal, relevant international comparisons is needed to document measurement capability claims made by national metrology institutes (NMIs) and designated institutes (DIs). To enable NMIs and DIs to update or establish their claims, in 2014 the Organic Analysis Working Group (OAWG) initiated CCQM-K95.1 "Low-Polarity Analytes in a Botanical Matrix: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Tea". This was a follow-on comparison from CCQM-K95 which was completed in 2014. The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) benz[a]anthracene (BaA) and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) are considered priority pollutants by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and are regulated contaminants in food, pose chromatographic separation challenges, and for which exist well-characterized measurement procedures and standard materials. BaA and BaP in a smoked tea were therefore selected as representative target measurands for CCQM-K95.1. Ten NMIs participated in CCQM-K95.1. The consensus summary mass fractions for the two PAHs are in the range of (50 to 70) ng/g with relative standard deviations of (6 to 10) %. Successful participation in CCQM K95.1 demonstrates the following measurement capabilities in determining mass fraction of organic compounds, with molar mass of 100 g/mol to 500 g/mol and having polarity pKow −2, in a botanical matrix ranging in mass fraction from 10 ng/g to 1000 ng/g: (1) value assignment of primary reference standards (if in-house purity assessment carried out), (2) value assignment of single and/or multi-component organic solutions, (3) extraction of analytes of interest from the matrix, (4) cleanup and separation of analytes of interest from interfering matrix or extract components, and (5) separation and quantification using gas chromatography or liquid chromatography.
