Near-optimal deterministic single-source distance sensitivity oracles
Given a graph with a distinguished source vertex s, the Single Source Replacement Paths (SSRP) problem is to compute and output, for any target vertex t and edge e, the length d(s, t, e) of a shortest path from s to t that avoids a failing edge e. A Single-Source Distance Sensitivity Oracle (Single-Source DSO) is a compact data structure that answers queries of the form (t, e) by returning the distance d(s, t, e). We show how to deterministically compress the output of the SSRP problem on n-vertex, m-edge graphs with integer edge weights in the range [1, M] into a Single-Source DSO that has size O(M1/2n3/2) and query time Oe(1). We prove that the space requirement is optimal (up to the word size). Our techniques can also handle vertex failures within the same bounds. Chechik and Cohen [SODA 2019] presented a combinatorial, randomized Oe(m√n + n2) time SSRP algorithm for undirected and unweighted graphs. We derandomize their algorithm with the same asymptotic running time and apply our compression to obtain a deterministic Single-Source DSO with Oe(m√n +n2) preprocessing time, O(n3/2) space, and Oe(1) query time. Our combinatorial Single-Source DSO has near-optimal space, preprocessing and query time for unweighted graphs, improving the preprocessing time by a √n -factor compared to previous results with o(n2) space. Grandoni and Vassilevska Williams [FOCS 2012, TALG 2020] gave an algebraic, randomized Oe(Mnω) time SSRP algorithm for (undirected and directed) graphs with integer edge weights in the range [1, M], where ω < 2.373 is the matrix multiplication exponent. We derandomize it for undirected graphs and apply our compression to obtain an algebraic Single-Source DSO with Oe(Mnω) preprocessing time, O(M1/2 n3/2) space, and Oe(1) query time. This improves the preprocessing time of algebraic Single-Source DSOs by polynomial factors compared to previous o(n2)-space oracles. We also present further improvements of our Single-Source DSOs. We show that the query time can be reduced to a constant at the cost of increasing the size of the oracle to O(M1/3 n5/3) and that all our oracles can be made path-reporting. On sparse graphs with m = O(nM5/74/−4ε) edges, for any constant ε > 0, we reduce the preprocessing to randomized Oe(M7/8 m1/2 n11/8) = O(n2−ε/2) time. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first truly subquadratic time algorithm for building Single-Source DSOs on sparse graphs

Description
For multiple Arctic glaciated regions (Table 1), 1km daily data (Table 2) from the SICE v1.6 algorithm, see Wehrlé et al (2021) and Kokhanovsky et al (2019) for details. Broadband albedo "albedo_bb_planar_sw" is after Kokhanovsky et al (2019). "BBA_combination" is albedo_bb_planar_sw for albedo_bb_planar_sw values above 0.565 and is combined with an ampirical albedo for albedo_bb_planar_sw below or equal to 0.565, see Wehrlé et al (2021). Data format is GeoTiff in the EPSG:3413 - WGS 84 / NSIDC Sea Ice Polar Stereographic North. We suggest using rasterio to read the data files. The data are also available from https://thredds.geus.dk/

Utilization of pulp mill side streams as a part of cementitious binders
Abstract
Different industries produce vast amounts of residue that can be used as raw materials in cementitious systems. In the context of this thesis, the most important systems include alkali-activated materials (AAMs) and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). This thesis concentrates on two pulp mill residues: recovery boiler fly ash (RBA) and green liquor dregs (GLD). The aim was to find out whether these residues would work as alternative alkali activators, since the challenge faced by AAMs is the high environmental footprint of commercial activators. Two RBAs were used as-received, while three batches of daily GLD samples were first combined to produce three GLDs, which were then thermally treated at moderately low temperatures (105 °C, 300 °C, 525 °C, or 650 °C).
Results proved that both RBAs and thermally treated GLDs activated blast furnace slag-based precursors. RBA, which is rich in sodium sulfate, showed similar or superior activating properties to commercial sodium sulfate, and common hydration products were formed during hydration. According to the results, a suitable dosage of RBA was 1–3 wt.% (Na2O eq.). In the GLD experiments, it was found that thermal pretreatment (Tmax 525 °C) modified the properties of GLD by removing most of the remaining organic carbon and increasing the amount of soluble calcium, which led to an increased pH. It was also found that, in addition to CaCO3, complex magnesium-rich phases including layered double hydroxide group phases (LDHs) occurred in GLDs.
The activating effect of thermally treated GLDs was enhanced by a higher treatment temperature. However, at 28 days, samples activated with GLD treated at 300 °C gained the highest strength. In the SCM experiments, 25% of cement was substituted with thermally treated GLDs and it was found that the addition of GLD decreased the 90-day strength by more than 15%. In both systems, AAM and SCM, the addition of GLD increased the viscosity and reduced the workability; however, both of these impacts were decreased by a higher pretreatment temperature. One interesting finding was that LDHs were also found in hydrated samples including GLDs treated at 525 °C or 650 °C, indicating the possible reconstruction of these phases after thermal treatment. To summarize, GLDs, earlier seen as non-reactive material, exhibited an activating effect on blast furnace slag.

Eri teollisuudenalat tuottavat suuria määriä sellaisia sivuvirtoja, joita voidaan hyödyntää osana sementtimäisiä materiaaleja, joista tämän väitöskirjan kannalta keskeisimmät ovat alkaliaktivoidut materiaalit (AAM) ja sementtiä korvaavat materiaalit (SCM). Tässä työssä keskitytään selluteollisuuden tuottamien soodakattilan lentotuhkan (RBA) sekä viherlipeäsakan (sakka) tutkimiseen. Tavoitteena oli selvittää, toimivatko nämä vaihtoehtoisena alkaliaktivaattorina, sillä yleisesti AAM:ssa käytetyt kemikaalipohjaiset aktivaattorit nostavat AAM:n ympäristökuormaa. RBA:t käytettiin sellaisenaan. Sakkanäytteitä vastaanotettiin kolmessa erässä, ja näistä tehtiin kolme kokoomanäytettä, jotka lämpökäsiteltiin ennen käyttöä (105 °C, 300 °C, 525 °C tai 650 °C).
Tulosten mukaan RBA:t ja sakat aktivoivat masuunikuonapohjaista AAM:ää. Natriumsulfaattirikkaat RBA:t osoittivat vastaavia tai parempia aktivoivia ominaisuuksia kuin verrokkina toiminut kaupallinen natriumsulfaatti. Hydrataation aikana muodostui myös tyypillisiä hydrataatiotuotteita. Tulosten perusteella sopiva RBA:n annostus on 1–3 m-% (Na2O-ekv). Sakan lämpökäsittelyn (Tmax 525 °C) havaittiin muokkaavan materiaalin ominaisuuksia, muun muassa vähentämällä orgaanisen jäännöshiilen määrää sekä nostamalla liukoisen kalsiumin määrää. Liukoisen kalsiumin määrän noustessa myös pH kohosi. Kiteisen CaCO3:n lisäksi näytteistä havaittiin monimutkaisia magnesiumrikkaita faaseja, jotka sisälsivät ainakin hydrotalsiitin kaltaisia kerrostuneita kaksoishydroksideja (LDH).
Käsittelylämpötilan nostaminen 525 °C:seen paransi sakan aktivoivaa vaikutusta, joskin korkeimmat lujuudet 28 päivän iässä mitattiin, kun sakka oli käsitelty 300 °C:ssa. Kun lämpökäsiteltyä sakkaa kokeiltiin SCM:nä 25 % korvausosuudella, havaittiin, että 90 päivän lujuudet putosivat yli 15 %. Molemmissa systeemeissä (AAM ja SCM) sakan lisääminen nosti näytteen viskositeettia ja heikensi työstettävyyttä. Vaikutus kuitenkin pieneni, kun sakan käsittelylämpötilaa nostettiin. Yksi mielenkiintoisimmista tuloksista oli, että LDH-faaseja löydettiin myös niistä hydratoituneista näytteistä, joissa oli käytetty 525 tai 650 °C:ssa käsiteltyä sakkaa. Tämä viittaa siihen, että nämä faasit ovat uudelleenmuodostuneet lämpökäsittelyn jälkeen. Väitöskirjan tulokset osoittavat, että aiemmin inerttinä pidetyllä sakalla on aktivoivia ominaisuuksia.
