Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis master's thesis has investigated how methods from artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to perform and augment production optimization of sub-sea oil reservoirs. The methods involved in this work are genetic algorithms (GAs) and artificial neural networks (ANNs). Different optimization schemes were developed by the author to perform production optimization on oil reservoir simulator models. The optimization involves finding good input parameter values for certain properties of the model, relating to how the wells in the oil reservoir operate. The research involves straightforward optimization using GAs, model approximations using ANNs, and also more advanced schemes using these methods together with other available technology to perform and augment reservoir optimization. With this work, the author has attempted to make a genuine contribution to all the research areas this master's thesis has touched upon, ranging from computer science and AI to process and petroleum engineering. The methods and approaches developed through this research were compared to the performance of each other and also to other approaches and methods used on the same challenges. The comparison found some of the developed optimization schemes to be very successful, while others were found to be less appropriate for solving the problem at hand. Some of the less successful approaches still showed considerable promise for simpler problems, leading the author to conclude that the developed schemes are suited for solving optimization problems in the petroleum industry.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleOntologias são cada vez mais um conceito fundamental no suporte à interoperabilidade. Além disso, elas também são fundamentais no suporte aos sistemas evolutivos de produção por duas razões principais. A primeira está relacionada com o facto de a clara identificação e formalização dos processos ser importante para a criação de módulos inteligentes. A segunda razão está relacionada com o facto de os sistemas evolutivos de produção (SEP) serem baseados em sistemas multi-agente que depende em muito, da construção das ontologias de modo a permitir a comunicação entre os agentes pertencentes ao sistema. Os principais conceitos por detrás da ontologia aqui desenvolvida serão os conceitos de processos, tarefas, produto e componentes de manufactura. Esta tese pretende mostrar não só a criação de uma ontologia, mas também de um agente de modo a ser possível a integração da ontologia num sistema multi-agente, no âmbito da manufactura inteligente respondendo às questões envolventes ao paradigma dos sistemas evolutivos de produção. Sabendo que os SEP são baseados em sistemas multi-agente, será também mostrado um agente que irá ter todo o controlo da ontologia e irá pertencer ao sistema de manufactura.

Oil extraction on many reservoirs requires the use of rod pump systems to pump the fluid to the surface. A longstanding challenging issue in the operation of rod-pump system is the ability to determine the downhole pump conditions based on the knowledge of a finite set of measurables at the top. A novel acoustic-based diagnostic method is put forward as an enabler for determining the downhole conditions. It consists of reconstructing the pressure signal generated by the pump from an acoustic measurement made at the top. Knowing that the operating pump radiates pressure waves in the fluid, the pump operation can thus be monitored. The physical basis of this acoustic method is demonstrated using results from a model of the rod-pump system complemented by field data measured from representative operating oil wells. The rod pump model has shown to be in good accord with available data. The unique feature differentiating the model formulation from the state of art is that each of the model attributes is linked to the physical process that set the pump operation. The wave equations in the rod string and in the tubing are solved using a custom numerical scheme, and the coupling between the rod and the fluid surrounding it is taken into account. The field measurements and the model results are in accord as they prove the hypothesis that a surface measured pressure can be used to determine the downhole condition of the well. Likewise both the field measurements and the model results provide the physical basis for formulating the scaling rule for generic rod pump system which is used in turn to design a scaled down experimental setup. Specifically, the effect of gas on the pump acoustic signature has been characterized and this general scaling allow one to compare different wells to one another and to obtain a universal scaling parameter to measure the amount of gas in wells pumps. The anticipated technological impact on oil production infrastructure is an acoustic diagnostic framework for assessing a broad class of wells operation, from vertical to horizontal oil wells.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleSimulations are widely used for analysis and design of complex systems. Real-world complex systems are often too complex to be expressed with tractable mathematical formulations. Therefore simulations are often used instead of mathematical formulations because of their flexibility and ability to model real-world complex systems in some detail. Simulation models can often be complex and slow which lead to the development of simulation meta-models that are simpler and faster models of complex simulation models. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been studied for use as simulation meta-models with different results. This final year project further studies the use of ANNs as simulation meta-models by comparing the predictability of five different neural network architectures: feed-forward-, generalized feed-forward-, modular-, radial basis- and Elman artificial neural networks where the underlying simulation is of complex production system. The results where that all architectures gave acceptable results even though it can be said that Elman- and feed-forward ANNs performed the best of the tests conducted here. The difference in accuracy and generalization was considerably small.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe sediment transport in lakes is very important and has a broad scope. In order to acquire comprehension on the processes occurring in the coastline it is vital that the system´s morphodynamics and morphology are studied. These last elements evolve together, since the dynamics determine morphology, however once morphology is established, it affects dynamics. The evolution of these bodies of water follows the evolution of five natural processes: segmentation, vertical accretion, marine and lagoonal sedimentation. In this study, deltaic progradation is analyzed. Deltas are deposits of sediment at the end of a water stream, which is discharged into a body of water. The selected area for this study is located in the southern portion of the coastal plain of Rio Grande do Sul state, in the north sector of the Mangueira Lake, where several artificial deltas are found in the lagoon. Since it is located in the popularly known “Capivaras Park”, the feature which is analysed in this study was named “Delta das Capivaras”. This study aimed to develop the evolution model for this artificially built delta, wich was formed due to rice farming on the west margin of the lake, and also, to evaluate the environmental impacts caused by the soil management. The methodology employed in the study comprised different techniques for the data acquisition and its interpretation. The work began by analyzing related bibliography and planning logistics for the field work, where data on sedimentology, bathymetry and core sample were collected. The later activities comprise analysis, processing and treatment of the obtained samples in the laboratory. The integration of data offered important information on the dynamics and morphology of the Delta das Capivaras. It was possible to conclude that the primary mechanism for the delta development is the artificial channel generated by anthropic activity, due to the elevated potential of sediment transport towards the lagoon. The water level variation has little significant contribution such as the wave action in the delta formation, since it is protected by sand “features” such as sandy spits and vegetation. The rice cultureon the west margin of the Mangueira Lake causes fast eutrophication of the water body, proving that anthropic activity caused by that specific activity strongly modifies the lagoon´s natural features and can possibly impact life and dynamics in this lagoon. The Delta das Capivaras developed in a location less than 1 km, in a time of decades and, finally, its genesis was controlled mainly by sediment supply. Moreover, it is inserted into a coastal drainage basin with little extension area and lower elevation with dimensions less than 10 meters, wherefore cannot generate a feature like Delta das Capivaras, in a short space of time. These characteristics classify the delta as an artificial feature of engineering scale and not geological.

Electronic Thesis or Diss., Université de Lorraine, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023LORR0080.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe development of renewable energy, especially solar and wind energy, over the recent years has gained global attention as an alternative method of generating energy experiencing exceptional growth in its production. In The Global Energy report, global solar energy is expected to have reached a cumulative capacity of 1TW while the wind energy is expected to have multiplied up to 3 to 4 times from mega production in the year 2020. This increase in the solar and wind power implies very significant financial investments. However, with this huge investment potential and significant increase in generation capacity, there is an additional, often overlooked responsibility: managing the power plants to ensure the lowest total life cycle cost (Life Cycle Cost). Like any standard production system, renewable energy (solar and wind energy in our case) generation components are subject to random failure, which interrupts production and supply of demand. Maintenance is identified as a major cause of accidents, lack of technical know-how of an equipment and the absence of a good maintenance routine plan. As part of the efforts to improve the efficiency and performance of renewable energy power plants, we propose models to optimize the power production and maintenance of our selected case studies (Sokoto solar plant and Katsina wind farm). In this regard, we developed new integrated maintenance policies integrated with production of the energy production from solar and wind energy systems. The preventive maintenance strategy adopted in this thesis is perfect maintenance strategy on the selected components for maintenance and an imperfect selective maintenance on the system (solar PV and wind turbine). Battery shortage in case of under-production and maintenance losses are challenges considered in this study. The methodology we developed entails solving the problem of energy production and maintenance optimization by using the theoretical method as well as machine learning method (ANN and SVM) in order to satisfy a random demand of energy during a finite horizon. We also studied the influence of environmental and operational condition of the systems and then validated the models by numerical examples and sensitivity studies proving the robustness of the developed models

This study aimed to evaluate use of artificial intelligence, specifically artificial neural networks (ANN), to predict future results both forage and animal productions. Determine between a lot of rearing and finishing phase scenarios of beef cattle production using tropical pastures, how was the best scenario considering economic results. Evaluate between different nitrogen fertilizers levels, how was there obtained best economic indexes. The ANN was better than regressions normally used to predict forage production (mean values obtained by ANN use were 0.84, 0.78 and 0.75 for forage mass, leaf and stem percentages, versus 0.74, 0.39 and 0.50 obtained using multiple linear regression) and animal (0.72 [ANN] and 0.67 regression). Into study about scenarios, the best results were obtained when used mineral mix just (profitability of 26.3%, simple payback period equal to 11 cycles and internal return ratio of 9.30%) during rearing phase of beef cattle.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleLa fotosíntesis artificial ha sido propuesta como una de las posibles soluciones a los problemas energéticos y de materias primas de origen químico para hacer frente, de forma anticipada, al agotamiento de los combustibles fósiles en un futuro cercano. Esta tesis doctoral trata el estudio de catalizadores prometedores y el diseño de reactores para realzar la eficiencia de reacción y entender el origen de la actividad fotocatalítica. Un sistema de reacción en flujo continuo fue diseñado y construido para estudiar la fotoreducción de CO2 con agua y la electrolisis fotocatalítica del agua. La actividad fotocatalítica de óxidos conductores de banda prohibida (bandgap) ancha tales como TiO2, Ta2O5, MTaO3 (M = Na, K), y Ga2O3 fue evaluada mediante el uso de dos tipos de reactores; más concretamente, reactores en suspensión y en fase gas, respectivamente. Lámparas de mercurio de alta presión fueron utilizadas como fuentes de luz. Los efectos de los co-catalizadores (Pt y Rh-Cr) y dopante (Zn) en la formación de productos en la fase gas fue investigada. A partir de catalizadores basados en TiO2, H2 y CH4 fueron detectados y cuantificados. La actividad fue, prácticamente, de naturaleza transitoria (desactivación). Aún más importante, este trabajo elucidó que la actividad podía ser recuperada en la oscuridad (sin irradiación) en la mezcla de CO2 y H2O. El proceso de recuperación fue más eficiente a altas temperaturas. Estudios DRIFTS in situ permitieron mejorar el conocimiento en respecto el proceso de recuperación sobre Pt/TiO2. Materiales basados en óxidos de Ta y Ga, co-modificados con Zn y Rh-Cr, exhibieron una alta actividad global para el proceso de electrolisis del agua, mientras que ninguna actividad para la reducción de CO2 fue observada. Técnicas fotofísicas fueron empleadas para identificar los roles clave de la promoción con Zn y Rh-Cr en el incremento de la actividad catalítica y la producción de oxígeno.
Artificial photosynthesis has been proposed as one of the possible solutions to the energetic and chemical-feedstock problems to cope with the anticipated near future depletion of fossil fuel resources. This doctoral thesis deals with the study of promising catalysts and reactor designs to enhance the reaction efficiency and understand the origin of photocatalytic activity. A continuous flow reaction system was designed and constructed to study CO2 photoreduction with H2O and photocatalytic water splitting. Photocatalytic activity of wide-bandgap semiconductor oxides such as TiO2, Ta2O5, MTaO3 (M = Na, K), and Ga2O3 was evaluated by using two different reactors, namely slurry and gas phase reactors. High pressure mercury lamps were used as the light source. Effects of co-catalysts (Pt and Rh-Cr) and dopants (Zn) on gas phase products evolution were investigated. From TiO2-based catalysts, H2 and CH4 were detected and quantified. The activity was mostly of a transient nature (deactivating). Importantly this work elucidated that the activity could be recovered in the dark (without irradiation) in the mixture of CO2 and H2O. The recovery process was more efficient at higher temperatures. In situ DRIFTS study gained mechanistic insights into the recovery process over Pt/TiO2. Ta and Ga oxides-based materials, co-modified with Zn and Rh-Cr, exhibited high overall steady-state water splitting activity, whereas no CO2 reduction activity was observed. Photophysic techniques were used to identify the key roles of Zn and Ru-Cr promotion in boosting catalytic activity and oxygen production.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleOptimal daily operation of electric power generating plants is very essential for any power utility organization to reduce input costs and possibly the prices of electricity in general. For a fossil fuel – fired power plant for example, the benefits of power generation optimalization (i.e. generate what is reasonably required) extends even to environmental issues such as the subsequent reduction in air pollution. Now to generate “what is reasonably required” one needs forecast the future electricity demands. Because power generation relies heavily on the electricity demand, the consumers are also practically speaking required to wisely manage their loads to consolidate the power utility’s optimal power generation efforts. Thus, for both cases, accurate and reliable electric load forecasting systems are absolutely required. To date, there are numerous forecasting methods developed primarily for electric load forecasting. Some of these forecasting techniques are conventional and often less favoured. To get a broad picture of the problem at hand, a literature survey was first conducted to identify possible drawbacks of the existing forecasting techniques including the conventional one. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) approach for short-term load forecasting (STLF) has been recently proposed by a majority of researchers. But there still is a need to find optimal neural network structures or convenient training approach that would possibly improve the forecasting accuracy. This thesis developed models for STLF using ANNs approach. The evolved models are intended to be a basis for real forecasting application. These models are tested using actual load data of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) Bellville campus reticulation network and weather data to predict the load of the campus for one week in advance. The models were divided into two classes: first, forecasting the load for a whole week at once was evaluated, and then hourly models were studied. In both cases, the inclusion of weather data was considered. The test results showed that the hour-by-hour approach is more suitable and efficient for a forecasting application. The work suggests that incremental training approach of a neural network model should be implemented for on-line testing application to acquire a universal final view on its applicability. Keywords – power system operations, load forecasting, artificial neural networks, training mode, accuracy
Caserta, Giorgio. „Chemical maturation of hydrogenases : an insight into artificial and biohybrid systems“. Thesis, Paris 6, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA066701/document.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThere is a general agreement that the building of a sustainable H2 economy relies on the availability of cheap, abundant and efficient catalysts. Nature has provided attractive solutions, hydrogenases. However, these enzymes are difficult to produce and so far only few HydAs have been completely characterized showing diversity despite the same active site. This core, H-cluster, is composed of a [4Fe–4S] cluster bound via a Cys to a diiron complex which has 3 CO, 2 CN and an azadithiolate ligands. Recently, it has been showed that hydrogenases can be easily produced through the insertion of a biomimetic [Fe2(adt)(CO)4(CN)2]2– complex inside the heterologously produced apo-enzyme, resulting in a full activation. Part of the PhD has been focused on the chemical maturation of new HydA from Megasphaera elsdenii and its truncated version, MeH-HydA, containing only the H-cluster. The assembly of all metal cofactors via the chemical reconstitution of the [Fe–S] clusters and the maturation through the [Fe2(adt)(CO)4(CN)2]2–complex has been carried out. Interestingly, HydF hybrids synthesized incorporating biomimetic [Fe2(xdt)(CO)4(CN)2]2– complexes onto the [4Fe–4S] cluster HydF protein, have a 6Fe core reminiscent of the H-cluster. HydFs from different organisms were purified and subsequently the [4Fe–4S] cluster has been reconstituted. For the first time, an X-ray structure of HydF with its [4Fe-4S] cluster has been obtained. The 6Fe cluster of HydF has been also prepared chemically with diiron complexes mimicking the active site of HydA. The metallo-cofactors have been spectroscopically characterized (EPR, FTIR, HYSCORE), hydrogenase activities evaluated

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleLäkemedelssektorn är viktig för människans hälsa på grund av den ökade efterfrågan av medicinska produkter men bidrar även till stora mängder avfall och föroreningar. Det finns ett akut behov att industrin granskar sina miljöavtryck och samtidigt överväger den industriella omvandlingen som kallas Industri 4.0. Detta gäller särskilt för små och medelstora företag. För att uppnå dessa mål kan Artificiell Intelligens (AI) komma att ha en betydelsefull roll. Detta examensarbete syftar till att identifiera de hinder som små och medelstora läkemedelsföretag kan stöta på när de implementerar AI för att förbättra sitt miljöarbete. På grund av brist på effektiva verktyg analyseras dessutom Green Performance Map för att se om ett mervärde i designfasen och under driften av produktionssystemet kan erhållas. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes då examensarbetet är en fallstudie och följer en induktiv process. Kvalitativa data och litteratur användes för att undersöka forskningsfrågorna. Resultatet indikerar att organisatoriska, resurs-, reglerings- och kunskapsspecifika faktorer kan skapa barriärer. Dessutom, finns det indikatorer på att Green Performance Map kommer vara användbart både i designfasen och när produktionssystemet är i drift, detta är dock beroende på nivån av resurser.

Alongside this issue, abuse using fossil fuels is one of the main reasons which leads to an increase in atmospheric CO₂ concentration. These problems have to be solved in terms of both limiting CO₂ emission and finding renewable energy sources to replace fossil fuels. Nowadays, solar energy appears as one of the most effective renewable energy sources. Conversion of solar light energy to electricity in photovoltaics or to chemical energy through photocatalytic processes invariably involves photoinduced energy transfer and electron transfer. In this context, the aim of the thesis focuses on studying photoinduced processes in molecular photosystems using laser flash photolysis. The first theme of this thesis focus on studying single electron transfer in Donor-Acceptor Dyad systems towards optimization efficiency of charge separation and application in the photovoltaic organic solar cell. In the second theme of this thesis, two model systems of artificial photosynthesis were investigated to assess the possibility of stepwise charge accumulation on model molecules. A fairly good global yield of approximately 9% for the two charge accumulation on MV²⁺ molecule was achieved. Then, different photocatalytic systems, which have developed for CO₂ reduction, were studied. Understanding of the photoinduced processes is an important step toward improving the efficiency of reduction of CO₂ in practical photocatalytic systems

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleLo scopo di questa tesi è quello di valutare, in una specie nella quale sono noti in modo dettagliato i meccanismi di selezione sessuale pre- e postcopulatoria, le conseguenze evolutive dell’investimento maschile nella produzione di spermi, il principale carattere che predice il successo di competizione spermatica in questa specie. Considerazioni teoriche suggeriscono che l'allocazione differenziale in caratteri pre e post-copulatori costituisca un constraint evolutivo cruciale nell’ambito della selezione sessuale. A dispetto di questo mancano studi nei quali l’analisi di questi gruppi di caratteri sia valutata contemporaneamente in modo integrato. A questo scopo è stato effettuato un esperimento di selezione artificiale bidirezionale per la produzione spermatica al fine di: 1) Determinare se la selezione artificiale per la produzione di spermi ha un effetto correlato sull’espressione degli altri caratteri post-copulatori (velocità, vitalità e morfologia degli spermi). 2) Determinare se la selezione artificiale per la produzione di spermi ha un effetto correlato sull’espressione dei caratteri pre-copulatori, in particolare del pattern di colorazione del maschio, del comportamento sessuale e del grado di preferenza esercitato dalle femmine sul maschio. 3) Determinare se la selezione artificiale per la produzione di spermi ha un effetto correlato sulla fitness non riproduttiva del maschio, stimata sul tasso dl accrescimento, sulla taglia a maturità, e sulla sopravvivenza. 4) Determinare se la selezione artificiale per la produzione di spermi ha un effetto correlato sulla fitness delle femmine. A questo scopo sarà determinato il tasso di accrescimento, la fecondità e la condizione nelle femmine. 5) Determinare se un maggior investimento riproduttivo in età giovanile comporta dei costi in età avanzata a causa di una maggior senescenza e una ridotta longevità. 6) Determinare se una maggior produzione di spermi riflette una maggior qualità genetica del maschio attraverso un minor carico di mutazioni recessive deleterie espresse in importanti caratteri della fitness sia maschile (produzione di spermi, colorazione corporea, condizione) che femminile (fecondità), portate in omozigosi attraverso un esperimento di inbreeding sulle linee selezionate artificialmente

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThere is an urgent need to provide solutions for the energetic challenge our planet has to face. The production of “environmentally friendly” fuels such as dihydrogen H2 through sunlight-driven water splitting holds great promise. Hydrogen is indeed a carbon-free energy carrier that can be stored and used on request to produce electricity thanks to the mature fuel cell technology. Moreover, water and solar energy form the ideal couple for H2 production because they are both readily available and their use is considered to be safe for the environment. The design and study of molecular photocatalytic systems for H2 evolution from water has therefore been the subject of intensive research interest in the last decade and their implementation into functional dye-sensitized photoelectrocatalytic cells recently appeared in the literature. It is nevertheless necessary to optimize the efficiency of these molecular systems in order to reach the targeted solar-to-hydrogen conversion yield. In that context, this PhD thesis aimed at getting a better understanding of parameters relevant for the optimization of molecular H2-evolving photocathodes: first, different coupling strategies have been studied to covalently assemble a light-harvesting unit with a redox-active moiety; second, a synthetic methodology allowing introduction of robust anchoring groups in the coordination sphere of ruthenium photosensitizers has been widely studied and the first photoelectrodes characterized; finally, a new series of proton reduction catalysts featuring a polypyridinic ligand has been investigated, allowing important kinetic and mechanistic insights to be obtained

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleSjälvkörande fordon är en teknologi som visar potential för betydande fördelar inom säkerhet, effektivitet och miljömässigt för dem som kan tygla den. Det framstår därför som naturligt att uppdragsgivaren till detta projekt skulle vara intresserad av denna teknik, då företaget är känt för att vara vid både miljö- och teknikfrågornas framkant. Därför lanserades detta utredningsarbete för att sammanställa tillräcklig kunskap för att kunna ta informerade beslut om en potentiell implementering av ett autonomt transportsystem från deras fabrik i Skellefteå till Skelleftehamn. Denna utredning började med att kartlägga hur autonoma fordonstekniken ser ut idag, samt de regulatoriska möjligheterna att driva autonoma system på allmän väg I Sverige. Informationen samlades från en mängd olika källor, inklusive akademisk litteratur, rapporter från officiella källor, journalistiska källor samt från intervjuer med personer som besitter kompentens och erfarenhet av ämnet. Emedan den regulatoriska situationen i Sverige för stunden inte medger något lagligt sätt att operera självkörande fordon på allmän väg så finns det möjlighet att få tillstånd att utföra försöksverksamhet med sådana fordon så länge vissa villkor uppfylls. En utredning genomfördes för att fastslå om sådan verksamhet skulle kunna vara relevant i företagets fall. I och med detta så utfördes en riskanalys på den föreslagna rutten i Skellefteå. Metoden för dess utförande baserades på metodologi som hämtades från källor som tidigare hade utfört säkerhetsbevisningar för försöksverksamhet på autonoma fordon. En lista av möjliga risker framtogs, tillsammans med mätpunkter vilka skulle kunna användas för att fastslå deras betydelse för autonom fordonteknologi. Dessa riskers relevans och lämpligheten av dess omfattning diskuterades därefter med källor med kompetens inom området. Sedan besöktes rutten för att observationer om mätpunkternas förekomst kunde utföras. Informationen kompletterades och verifierades därefter med information från ett antal rapporter från Trafikverket och Sveriges Meteorologiska och Hydrologiska Institut. Det man kommit fram till är att det idag inte finns något autonomt fordonssystem som är tillräckligt avancerat att klara rutten mellan fabriken och hamnen med god nog säkerhet. Rutten är dessutom av begränsat värde vad det gäller att testa sådana system. Även om det finns autonoma system i operation i dagsläget så ligger dock tekniken långt under den nivå som skulle behövas för att ta sig an de utmaningar som skulle uppstå I det föreslagna användningsområdet.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleProduction of solar fuels in a dye-sensitized hydrogen-evolving photoelectrochemical cell, where splitting of water into H2 and O2 occurs is an attractive method in order to fulfill future energy demands and face the environmental problems arising by the combustion of fossil fuels. The group constructed a functional NiO DS-photocathode for H2 evolution, a counterpart of the tandem device, based on the first noble metal-free covalent dye-catalyst assembly. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of two novel dye-catalyst assemblies, both relying on the same ruthenium photosensitizer. The first dyad is based on the cobalt diimine-dioxime complex previously employed by the group and the second one on a cobalt tetraazomacrocyclic complex. Photoelectrochemical experiments under identical conditions enabled us to correlate the performance with the choice of the photosensitizer and the catalyst. Ruthenium outperformed in activity photocathodes based on organic dyes. Transient absorption spectroelectrochemistry revealed that one limiting factor for the activity of our systems is the thermal electron transfer from the reduced dye to the catalytic unit. In addition, post-operando analysis showed that desorption of the molecular architecture from the surface and decomposition of the cobalt diimine-dioxime also limits the efficiency. The second dye-catalyst assembly exhibits the higher TON ever reported for dye-sensitized hydrogen-evolving photocathodes, implying that more stable and robust catalysts are of significant importance. Finally, the second dyad was functional for PEC CO2 reduction to CO under aqueous media with promising preliminary results

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleHydrogen is a candidate for the next generation fuel with a high energy density and an environment friendly behavior in the energy production phase. Micro-organism based biological production of hydrogen currently suffers low hydrogen production yields because the living cells must sustain different cellular activities other than the hydrogen production to survive. To circumvent this, a team have designed a synthetic cell-free system by combining 13 different enzymes to synthesize hydrogen from cellobiose. This assembly has better yield than microorganism-based systems. We used methods based on differential equations calculations to investigate how the initial conditions and the kinetic parameters of the enzymes influenced the productivity of a such system and, through simulations, to identify those conditions that would optimize hydrogen production starting with cellobiose as substrate. Further, if the kinetic parameters of the component enzymes of such a system are not known, we showed how, using artificial neural network, it is possible to identify alternative models that allow to have an idea of the kinetics of hydrogen production. During our study on the system using cellobiose, other cell-free assemblies were engineered to produce hydrogen from different raw materials. Interested in the reconstruction of synthetic systems, we decided to conceive various tools to help the automation of the assembly and the modelling of these new synthetic networks. This work demonstrates how modeling can help in designing and characterizing cell-free systems in synthetic biology

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleL’elaborato presentato si propone di esporre gli avanzamenti conseguiti nelle pratiche di riproduzione in cattività dell’anguilla europea (Anguilla anguilla). Gli aspetti indagati riguardano sia approcci zootecnici (selezione riproduttori, risposta a stimolazione ormonale, performance riproduttive, incubazione di uova) sia aspetti fisiologici (profili endocrini plasmatici dei riproduttori), nonché aspetti ingegneristici. Gli studi condotti sulle diverse popolazioni selvatiche di anguilla hanno evidenziato come il principale fattore discriminante nella selezione delle femmine selvatiche da destinare alla riproduzione in cattività deve essere il Silver Index che ne può determinare, a partire caratteri morfo-metrici e con un chiaro grado di precisione, lo stadio di sviluppo puberale. Il protocollo di induzione ormonale adottato, con dosi crescenti di estratto ipofisario di carpa, si è dimostrato utile allo sviluppo ovarico, con un effetto di sincronizzazione che si è positivamente riflesso sulla produzione di uova. Gli studi sugli effetti del fotoperiodo dimostrano come la condizione di totale buio, nelle vasche di mantenimento dei riproduttori, condizioni positivamente le pratiche di riproduzioni in cattività.. Gli effetti del fotoperiodo sono stati indagati anche a livello fisiologico, osservando i livelli plasmatici di steroidi (E2, T) e ormoni tiroidei (T3 e T4) nonché l’espressione a livello epatico dello vitellogenine (vtg1 e vtg2) e del recettore di membrana dell’estradiolo (esr1). Dalla comparazione fra deposizione spontanea e tecniche di inseminazione attraverso lo stripping si è dedotto come la prima porti ad una migliore resa qualitativa e quantitativa nella produzione di uova atte ad essere fecondate, inoltre la presenza di una percentuale di ovociti completamente trasparenti può essere utilizzato per ottenere le uova ad un buon tasso di fertilità. Infine, il design e la messa in opera di un impianto a ricircolo per l’acquacoltura adatto a soddisfare le necessità specie-specifiche dell’anguilla ha mostrato come per migliorare i risultati riproduttivi, sarebbe preferibile adottare basso flusso e bassa densità incubazione.

Resumo: Neste trabalho é proposta e desenvolvida uma estratégia de coordenação baseada em agentes (holons) para sistemas automatizados de produção compostos por módulos de manufatura colaborativos heterogêneos, a qual permitirá a esses sistemas se adaptar dinamicamente às mudanças e perturbações do ambiente industrial moderno. Para realizar a validação da estratégia proposta é projetada e simulada uma configuração para um sistema de manufatura flexível formado por: uma mesa hidráulica, um robô articulado, uma mão robótica como sistema de sujeição e um robô móvel. Na estratégia de coordenação proposta é utilizada uma arquitetura do tipo holárquica (ADACOR), dentro da qual os hólons projetados poderão trabalhar tanto de forma independente atingindo objetivos locais quanto de forma integrada cooperando entre si para alcançar objetivos globais de produção. A coordenação e reconfiguração das operações dos hólons dentro do sistema, de maneira que esses possam trabalhar de forma colaborativa (coordenação ¿ cooperação) é desenvolvida utilizando uma técnica de inteligência artificial coletiva conhecida como Stigmergia, combinada com redes neurais artificiais auto-organizativas. Dessa maneira o processo de reconfiguração do sistema de manufatura é otimizado disponibilizando de forma local a informação global do sistema, além disso neste trabalho também é acrescentado um componente adaptativo no interior dos holons da arquitetura hibrida ADACOR, desse modo adicionando flexibilidade, adaptabilidade e rapidez de reconfiguração na obtenção dos planos de manufatura ao lidar com falhas ou perturbações. A estratégia proposta neste trabalho também poderá ser utilizada em outras aplicações que precisem da integração colaborativa de dispositivos mecatrônicos
Abstract: In this work is proposed and developed an agents (holons) based coordination strategy for automated production systems composed of heterogeneous collaborative manufacturing modules, this strategy will allow these systems dynamically adapt to changes and disturbances of the modern industrial environment. In order to validate the proposed strategy is projected and simulated a configuration for a flexible manufacturing system comprising: a hydraulic table, an articulated robot, a robotic hand as a gripping system, and a mobile robot. In the proposed coordination strategy is used an holarchical type architecture (ADACOR), within this architecture the projected holons (agents) can work both in an independent manner reaching local objectives or in an integrated manner cooperating each other to achieve the global production objectives. The coordination and reconfiguration between the holons inside the system in order that these can work in a collaborative form (coordination ¿ cooperation) is developed using a collective artificial intelligence technique known as Stigmergy combined with self-organizing neural networks. Therefore, the reconfiguration process of manufacturing system is optimized providing locally the global information of the system, in addition in this work is also added an adaptive component into the holons of ADACOR hybrid architecture, aiming flexibility, adaptability and speed of reconfiguration in obtaining manufacturing plans to deal with failures or disturbances. The strategy proposed in this work can also be used in other applications that require the collaborative integration of mechatronic devices
