Computing Least Common Subsumers in ALEN
No full textComputing the least common subsumer (lcs) in description logics is an inference task first introduced for sublanguages of CLASSIC. Roughly speaking, the lcs of a set of concept descriptions is the most specific concept description that subsumes all of the input descriptions. As such, the lcs allows to extract the commonalities from given concept descriptions, a task essential for several applications like, e.g., inductive learning, information retrieval, or the bottom-up construction of KR-knowledge bases. Previous work on the lcs has concentrated on description logics that either allow for number restrictions or for existential restrictions. Many applications, however, require to combine these constructors. In this work, we present an lcs algorithm for the description logic ALEN, which allows for both constructors (as well as concept conjunction, primitive negation, and value restrictions). The proof of correctness of our lcs algorithm is based on an appropriate structural characterization of subsumption in ALEN also introduced in this paper.This research was carried out while the second author was still at the LuFG Theoretical Computer Science, RWTH Aachen

Layered graphene nanomaterials for gas separation membrane applications
No full textMembrane-based gas separation technologies have attracted great interest because of their potential to improve separation performance, lower energy and capital costs, reduce the equipment size, minimize the environmental footprint, and provide easier operation. The performance of gas separation membranes, which can be characterized in terms of permeability and selectivity, is primarily dependent on the physical and chemical properties of the membrane materials. The performance of membrane based separation technologies is limited by several factors, including the minimum thickness of the membrane (to maximize the flux), the maximum achievable selectivity, and their robustness at higher temperatures and pressures or under corrosive and reactive conditions. Among the emerging membrane materials, graphene oxide (GO) is a promising material that can dramatically enhance the gas separation performance of the membrane technology beyond the limits of conventional membrane materials in terms of both permeability and selectivity. This performance enhancement is due to the ultimate thinness, superior mechanical strength, large surface area, and unique two-dimensional layered structure of GO. Monolayer GO can be engineered in several ways to form ultrathin layered GO membranes with a narrow pore size distribution. Graphene oxide membranes can allow extremely high fluxes because of their ultimate thinness and unique layered structure. In addition, the high selectivity is due to the molecular sieving or diffusion effect resulting from their narrow pore size distribution or their unique surface chemistry.
Graphene oxide membranes can be prepared in several forms: as supported, self-standing, and nanocomposite materials. Self-standing GO membranes show promising selectivity with higher permeability because of the ultimate thinness of the membrane. However, supported GO membranes are more mechanically robust and may be better options for practical separation conditions. In this research, we have developed a facile preparation method of fabricating supported ultra-thin GO membrane and thin self-standing GO membrane. First, to achieve a better exfoliation of the graphene-oxide, we have adopted several approaches, such as using surfactants with GO solution, optimizing sonication and centrifugation parameters, etc. We have observed that the size of the GO particle (lateral dimension of exfoliated GO flake) greatly influences the formation of the membrane and hence impacts the gas separation characteristics of the GO membrane. Furthermore, we have developed a facile preparation of ultra-thin supported GO-PES membrane, which can block the transport of almost all the gas particle through the membrane. To achieve selectivity toward target gas, selective pores are developed in the completely stacked graphene-oxide chain by vacuum-drying, heating, or partial reduction of the graphene-oxide. The effect of moisture content in the structural integrity of the membrane is also realized with several controlled drying approaches of the ultra-thin membranes. Finally, the hydrocarbon (methane, propane, and butane) mixture separation performance of the GO membranes is evaluated by analyzing the gas mixture composition in both feed and permeate side using gas chromatography. We have characterized the gas separation performance for thin GO-PES, self-standing GO, ultra-thin GO-PES, reduced GO-PES membranes. Moreover, aside from understanding the transport mechanism through the interlayer spaces of GO membrane, we have analyzed the compared performances of different types of GO membranes to separate a hydrocarbon gas mixture of methane, propane, and butane. In all the membranes, two different mechanisms of hydrocarbon gas separation are observed, adsorption-desorption based and molecular sieving based, depending on the pressure difference between the feed and permeate side of the GO membrane. Because of its thick support material, very thin GO membrane layer, and controllable interlayer spacing, the ultra-thin GO-PES gas separation membranes are simultaneously robust, highly permeable, and highly selective.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-12-01The student, Saif Khan Alen, accepted the attached license on 2018-12-14 at 10:32.The student, Saif Khan Alen, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2018-12-14 at 10:43.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2018-12-14 at 12:25.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13331 on 2019-02-07 at 14:23:43Made available in DSpace on 2019-02-07T20:44:31Z (GMT).

Thialkalivibrio nitratireducens sp. nov., a nitrate-reducing member of an autotrophic denitrifying consortium from a soda lake
No full textStrain ALEN 2(T) was isolated from a mixed culture capable of complete autotrophic denitrification with thiosulfate as electron donor at pH 10; the mixed culture was enriched from sediment from Lake Fazda (Wadi Natrun, Egypt), a hypersaline alkaline lake. The isolate had large, non-motile, coccoid or barrel-shaped cells with intracellular sulfur globules. The bacterium was obligately chemolithoautotrophic. It grew with reduced sulfur compounds aerobically and anaerobically with nitrate as electron acceptor, nitrate being reduced to nitrite. It was moderately halophilic and obligately alkaliphilic. On the basis of genetic analysis and its unique phenotype, strain ALEN 2 T ( = DSM 14787(T) = UNIQEM 213(T)) is proposed as the type strain of a novel species of the genus Thialkalivibrio, Thialkalivibrio nitratireducens
Detecting the Authors of Texts by Neural Network Committee Machines
No full textThis paper proposes a means of using a boosting by filtering algorithm in artificial neural networks to identify the author of a text. This approach involves filtering the training examples by different versions of a weak learning algorithm. It assures the availability of a large source of examples, with the examples being either discarded or kept during training. An advantage of this approach is that it allows for a small memory requirement. Once the network has been trained, its hidden layer activations are recorded as a representation of the selected lexical descriptors of an author. This stored information can then be used to identify the texts written by the same author. Texts studied are literary works of two Bosnian writers, Ivo Andrić (1892-1975) and M. Meša Selimović (1910-1982). The data collected by counting syntactic characteristics in 1466 paragraphs of "na drini ćupria" by Ivo Andrić, and "derviš i smirt" by M. Meša Selimović each
Public Administration: Main Factor in Successful Management of Coastal Area Development in Republic of Croatia
No full textThe modern society requires a rational, professional, stable and socially accountable public administration that serves its citizens. Analysis of the status and functioning of the Croatian public administration shows that there are still many shortcomings and problems that must be solved. This paper outlines the basic characteristics of public administration as a set of structures and processes aiming to start and implement the policies in accordance with the public interest. Also, it explores the way and the level of success of managing the common good, with special attention given to the management of the coastal area, whereas the management of the coastal area is defined as an activity comprising different levels of management – local, regional, national and international. The author stresses the need to coordinate the different levels and emphasize the importance of organizing the work process and the capabilities of the managing structure. This is necessary because the public administration often makes decisions directly influencing the citizens’ quality of life on a local and individual level. Given that the public administration has a great amount of power in all countries, it must be controlled. The author states that beside self control of public administration it is also needed to conduct the additional control. That kind of control is necessary due to the inestimable value of Croatia’s coastal and other resources. Based on the results of the research the author suggests measures to improve a continued and efficient control
Modeling Post-Socialist Urbanization; The Case of Budapest; Daniel Kiss
No full textThis book is the result of a scientific research based on a defined abstract model tested here on a concrete case study - Budapest - and questions its urban development processes between 1990 and 2010. Instead of giving some general statements, the author carries out an indepth analysis and defines his thesis about the recent urbanization of the city. He claims that it was not a random process leading to different consequences but a clearly recognizable series of patterns. It resulted directly from certain factors and narratives which form the basis for the analysis of a post-socialist city and its urbanization. Kiss dedicates his final chapter to a thorough analysis of one of the topical urban zones of Budapest, the so-called Corvin-Quarter. The book is supplemented with a conversation about urbanization between Ákos Moravánszky, Kees Christiaanse (both professors at ETH Zürich) and the author of this book
