On the reliability of the design approach for FRC structures according to fib Model Code 2010: the case of elevated slabs
No full textThis paper focuses on the reliability of the design approach proposed in the fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 for estimating the ultimate capacity of fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) elevated slabs on the basis of different tests for material characterization. The fracture properties of the material are determined through three-point bending tests on notched beams and through double edge wedge splitting (DEWS) tests carried out on cylinders cored in the full-size test structure. As a case study, an FRC elevated flat slab 0.2 m thick is considered which consists of nine bays (panels) measuring 6 × 6 m (overall size 18.3 × 18.3 m) and is supported by 16 circular concrete columns. The ultimate bearing capacity of the slab determined experimentally is compared with the design value predicted by means of a procedure based on limit analysis following fib Model Code 2010. The results show that the method proposed in fib Model Code 2010 using the characteristic values and the classification is reliable. Even if the tests are affected by a significant standard deviation and the two experimental campaigns with three-point bending tests give a significant difference between class ”5c“ and class ”3e“, the structural test results in a loadbearing capacity that is always larger than the predicted one, which considers a safety coefficient for the material γF = 1.5

Developing a TT-MCTAG for German with an RCG-based parser
No full textDeveloping linguistic resources, in particular grammars, is known to be a complex task in itself, because of (amongst others) redundancy and consistency issues. Furthermore some languages can reveal themselves hard to describe because of specific characteristics, e.g. the free word order in German. In this context, we present (i) a framework allowing to describe tree-based grammars, and (ii) an actual fragment of a core multicomponent tree-adjoining grammar with tree tuples (TT-MCTAG) for German developed using this framework. This framework combines a metagrammar compiler and a parser based on range concatenation grammar (RCG) to respectively check the consistency and the correction of the grammar. The German grammar being developed within this framework already deals with a wide range of scrambling and extraction phenomena
Francesco Sambiasi, a Missing Link in European Map Making in China?
No full textWhen the Jesuit missionaries began to work in China, they attracted the attention of the Chinese by introducing European knowledge. This is the context in which Jesuits such as Matteo Ricci, Giulio Aleni, Francesco Sambiasi and Ferdinand Verbiest made their Chinese-language world maps. Sambiasi was a man of many talents. He was a tactful diplomat and a learned scientist. His world map shows him to be a skilful adapter of earlier knowledge, which he passed on to future generations. The six known copies of his map are in two versions, printed from two sets of wood blocks (c. 1639). A text at the top of one version explains why the world must be seen as a sphere, which demonstrates how these maps were meant to convince the Chinese public of European scientific findings.This article describes and analyzes a world map of the Jesuit Francis Sambiasi preserved at the Library of the University of Ghent. In the essay compares the different copies of the map, provides a biography of the author and are hypothesized Chinese and Western sources. This article Describes and analyzes one world map made by the Jesuit missionary Francis Sambiasi, Which is kept in Ghent University Library. The work contains a comparison between the extant copies of the map, it Gives a biography of the author and some hypotesis about the possible Chinese and Western sources
Incorporating satellite derived cloud climatologies to improve high resolution interpolation of daily precipitation

<p>Abstract: Conservation of biodiversity demands comprehension of evolutionary and ecological patterns and processes that occur over vast spatial and temporal scales. A central goal of ecology is to understand the factors that control the spatial distribution of species and this has become even more important in the face of climate change. However, at global scales there can be enormous uncertainty in environmental data used to model species distributions. Even ‘simple’ metrics such as mean annual precipitation are difficult to estimate in areas with few weather stations and available data sets do not quantify uncertainty in these surfaces. We are developing a global, 1km resolution, daily meteorological dataset for 1970-2010 by leveraging relatively high quality station observations with spatially continuous but indirect satellite observations. While several satellite derived precipitation products exist, all are relatively coarse (≥0.25deg) to estimate other cloud parameters that are more directly related to precipitation. Precipitation will fall when cloud particles achieve sufficient mass to overcome updraft winds and when the clouds have sufficient vertical extent to facilitate the growth of these particles. The MODIS Cloud Product (MOD06) includes estimates of effective radius and optical thickness at 1km resolution. These parameters are theoretically related to precipitation and we are exploring their utility in the interpolation of station precipitation observations. Improving high resolution estimates of precipitation will facilitate analysis of geographic and/or environmental shifts in species distributions in response to global climate change.</p

Immunomodulation by diet : individual differences in sensitivity in layer hens
No full textEnhancing relevant immunity of production animals to achieve more robust animals is receiving more and more attention. Several epidemics have hit production animals recently and with devastating consequences, but enhancing diseases resistance increasingly provides new opportunities. Furthermore, welfare and health of production animals is becoming a more and more consumer driven topic. Several routes are being used to approach the possibility of enhancing immunity such as selective breeding, enriched and altered housing conditions, vaccination programs, diet supplementation with immune stimulating components, and other management procedures. Disease susceptibility has been shown to be related to stress reactivity, which in turn is related to differences in HPA axis reactivity. Interestingly, independent of selection criteria used, the extremes of various selection procedures result in a recurrent dichotomy in HPA axis reactivity, either being hyperresponsive or hyporesponsive to stress. Animals with a hyperresponsive HPA axis show greater environmental sensitivity, while the hyporeactive animals are more intrinsically regulated. Often, research on immunomodulation is performed with compromised animals and/or exaggerated supplementation of dietary components in one generation of animals, but epigenetics by definition seems to be the mechanism for mothers to prepare their offspring for the environment they will be born into. Enhancing immunity through normal diet in uncompromised animals is rarely investigated, let alone over generations. In this thesis the aim was to induce immunomodulation through diet in selection lines of chicken that have previously been selected on their antibody response to sheep red blood cells over two generations of chicken. First, potential HPA axis differences were examined in these selection lines to establish their environmental sensitivity, whereafter immunomodulation through normal diet was investigated in humoral and cellular parameters of immunity. As humoral immunocompentence was not easily modulated, an immune trigger was used to detect potential differences in humoral reactivity. The selection lines showed differential sensitivity to immunomodulation by diet in both generations, suggesting that adaptation to environmental factors may be a line-specific (genetically based) process, with differential neuroendocrine regulation. Most interestingly, the second generation showed effects of the diets in all the selection lines, albeit in different manners. It is concluded that normal diet can cause immunomodulation, mainly in animals with hyper HPA axis reactivity, and that introducing such practices may be more beneficial when mothers are treated, as all offspring showed immunomodulation, irrespective of selection line. While genetic background and/or epigenetic processes on neuroendocrine and immune regulation of the individual form the framework wherein individual immunomodulation by diet can take place, environmental conditions determine if the modulation is beneficial or not. <br/
TuLiPA : towards a multi-formalism parsing environment for grammar engineering
No full textIn this paper, we present an open-source parsing environment (Tübingen Linguistic Parsing Architecture, TuLiPA) which uses Range Concatenation Grammar (RCG) as a pivot formalism, thus opening the way to the parsing of several mildly context-sensitive formalisms. This environment currently supports tree-based grammars (namely Tree-Adjoining Grammars (TAG) and Multi-Component Tree-Adjoining Grammars with Tree Tuples (TT-MCTAG)) and allows computation not only of syntactic structures, but also of the corresponding semantic representations. It is used for the development of a tree-based grammar for German
