A best- and worst-case scenario for technology development until 2050 was evolved using cross-consistency analysis and a morphological field, based on which the data for the ecological models were determined. The results show that the plant scale-up has a very positive effect on the ecological consequences of methanation. In the best-case scenario, the values are a factor of 23-780 lower than those of the actual plant today. A hot-spot analysis showed that electrolysis operation has an especially large impact on total emissions. The final Monte Carlo simulation shows that the technology is likely to achieve a low global warming potential with a median of 104.0 kg CO2-eq/MWh CH4 and thus can contribute to decarbonization.}, language = {en} } @article{StrausKravanjaHribaretal., author = {Straus, Izidor and Kravanja, Gaia and Hribar, Luka and Kriegl, Raphael and Jezeršek, Matija and Shamonin (Chamonine), Mikhail and Drevenšek-Olenik, Irena and Kokot, Gašper}, title = {Surface Modification of Magnetoactive Elastomers by Laser Micromachining}, series = {Materials}, volume = {2024}, journal = {Materials}, number = {17 / 7}, publisher = {MDPI AG}, address = {Basel, Switzerland}, doi = {10.3390/ma17071550}, pages = {12}, abstract = {It has been recently demonstrated that laser micromachining of magnetoactive elastomers is a very convenient method for fabricating dynamic surface microstructures with magnetically tunable properties, such as wettability and surface reflectivity.

Notably, the photoacoustic signal amplitude decreased with increasing oxygen concentration, even falling below the background signal at oxygen levels higher than approximately 6 \%V. This phenomenon was attributed to kinetic cooling, where thermal energy is extracted from the surrounding gas molecules rather than added, as validated by complex vector analysis using a previously published digital twin model. The model accurately reproduced complex signal patterns through simulations, providing insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms by quantifying individual collision contributions. These findings underscore the importance of digital twins in understanding the fundamentals of photoacoustic signal generation at the molecular level.}, language = {en} } @incollection{HaugCurrle, author = {Haug, Sonja and Currle, Edda}, title = {Angeh{\"o}rige als Ressource im Prozess soziotechnischer Transformation in ambulanter Therapie und Pflege : Ergebnisse einer Feldstudie zur Akzeptanz von Telepr{\"a}senzsystemen}, series = {Soziotechnische Transformationen im Sozial- und Gesundheitswesen: kollaborativ, divers, barrierefrei und sozialr{\"a}umlich}, booktitle = {Soziotechnische Transformationen im Sozial- und Gesundheitswesen: kollaborativ, divers, barrierefrei und sozialr{\"a}umlich}, editor = {Heckes, Kolja Tobias and Lorke, Mariya and Siegler, Marcel and Wrona, Kamil J.}, publisher = {Beltz Juventa}, address = {Weinheim}, isbn = {978-3-7799-7854-1}, doi = {10.3262/978-3-7799-7855-8}, pages = {46 -- 59}, abstract = {Die Implementation digitaler Technologien wird im Spannungsfeld von demographischem Wandel, fortschreitender Digitalisierung und zunehmendem Fachkr{\"a}ftemangel im Gesundheitssystem mit hohen Erwartungen verkn{\"u}pft.

The anti-icing performance of the MEMS SDBDs is presented and compared to SDBDs manufactured by printed circuit board (PCB) technology. It was observed that the 35 mu m thick electrodes of the PCB SDBDs favor surface icing with an initial accumulation of supercooled water droplets at the electrode impact edges. This effect was not observed for 0.3 mu m thick MEMS-fabricated electrodes indicating a clear advantage for MEMS-technology SDBDs for anti-icing applications.

The reaction principle is the basis of a thermochemical hydrogen storage system. To simulate the charging phase, a single pellet consisting of iron oxide (90\% Fe2O3, 10\% stabilising cement) is reduced with different hydrogen (H2) concentrations at temperatures between 600 and 800 °C. The discharge phase is initiated by the oxidation of the previously reduced pellet by water vapour (H2O) at different concentrations in the same temperature range. In both reactions, nitrogen (N2) is used as a carrier gas. The redox reactions have been experimentally measured in a thermogravimetric analyser (TGA) at a flow rate of 250 mL/min. An extensive literature review has been conducted on the existing reactions' kinetic mechanisms along with their applicability to describe the obtained results. It turned out that the measured kinetic results can be excellently described with the so-called shrinking core model. Using the geometrical contracting sphere reaction mechanism model, the concentration- and temperature-dependent reduction and oxidation rates can be reproduced with a maximum deviation of less than 5\%. In contrast to the reduction process, the temperature has a smaller effect on the oxidation reaction kinetics, which is attributed to 71\% less activation energy (Ea,Re=56.9 kJ/mol versus Ea,Ox=16.0 kJ/mol). The concentration of the reacting gas showed, however, an opposite trend: namely, to have an almost twofold impact on the oxidation reaction rate constant compared to the reduction rate constant.}, language = {en} } @article{MarzaniTondelliKumaetal., author = {Marzani, Giulia and Tondelli, Simona and Kuma, Yuko and Cruz Rios, Fernanda and Hu, Rongbo and Bock, Thomas and Linner, Thomas}, title = {Embedding Circular Economy in the Construction Sector Policy Framework: Experiences from EU, U.S., and Japan for Better Future Cities}, series = {Smart Cities}, volume = {8}, journal = {Smart Cities}, number = {2}, publisher = {MDPI}, doi = {10.3390/smartcities8020048}, pages = {48}, abstract = {The transition towards a Circular Economy (CE) in the construction sector is essential to achieving sustainable, inclusive smart cities.

The grating, which is represented as a set of parallel stripes with two different amplitude reflectivity coefficients, is detected via diffraction of a laser beam in the reflection configuration. Due to the magnetic-field-induced plasticity effect, the grating persists on the MAE surface for at least 90 h if the magnetic field remains present. When the magnetic field is removed, the diffraction efficiency vanishes in a few minutes. The described effect is much more pronounced in MAE samples with larger content of iron filler (80 wt\%) than in the samples with lower content of iron filler (70 wt\%). A simple theoretical model is proposed to describe the observed dependence of the diffraction efficiency on the applied magnetic field. Possible applications of MAEs as magnetically reconfigurable diffractive optical elements are discussed. It is proposed that the described experimental method can be used as a convenient tool for investigations of the dynamics of magnetically induced plasticity of MAEs on the micrometer scale.}, language = {en} }
