Abstract:
Greece is a highly endemic country for Leishmania species. Canine cases of leishmaniosis are recorded in different parts of the country. However, no case of feline leishmaniosis has been reported yet. In the present study, the seroprevalence in cats was investigated as a first approach to measuring Leishmania spp. infection of this animal species, in Greece. For this purpose, blood serum samples from 284 stray adult cats, living in the major area of Thessaloniki (Northern Greece), were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of anti- Leishmania spp. IgG. Eleven (3.87%) of the examined animals were found positive. The prevalence was lower in cats than in dogs coming from the same area, based on previous studies. Despite the low seroprevalence for Leishmania spp. in cats, leishmaniosis may be taken into consideration concerning the differential diagnosis of the feline diseases, especially in endemic areas.

Abstract:
From several points of view, disposal of waste materials in an environment is respected to be a significant problem because of its very low biodegradability and existence in huge quantities. Waste of plastic and metal bottles caps, cans of juices and soft drink, and tires rubber being among the most pronounced. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of reusing these waste materials in concrete production and solve the segregation problem. As segregation increases in concrete involving these waste materials due to lighter weight of them relative to nature aggregate, therefore, attention was intensive on using natural product (Gum Arabic) that is an environmentally friendly chemical material for improving concrete properties. The conducted tests include; compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, density, water absorption, and ultrasonic pulse velocity. The results showed that replacing the volume of coarse aggregate by 25% compacted bottles caps and pull-tab of cans, 20% the plastic bottle caps, and 25% tires rubber shreds used decreased the mechanical properties of concrete to some extent less than reference mix and they were enhanced by employing Gum Arabic. In addition, the employment of Gum Arabic as liquid in concrete mixes developed the mechanical properties of concrete, reduced segregation, however raised the water absorption percent and declined the density of concrete.

Abstract:
Toxoplasmosis is one of the most important protozoan diseases with a global impact on the health of domestic cats and with zoonotic significance. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of seropositivity for Toxoplasma gondii in different populations of cats in Greece and to assess risk factors for seropositivity. A total of 457 cats were prospectively enrolled, and a commercially available indirect immunofluorescence antibody testing (IFAT) kit was used for the detection of anti-T. gondii immunoglobulin G (IgG) in serum. Overall, 95 (20.8%) of the 457 cats were seropositive for T. gondii. Based on multivariate analysis, factors associated with seropositivity included older age [Odds ratio (OR), 1.33; p < 0.001]; a history of cat-fight trauma (OR, 3.88; p = 0.004); and lack of vaccination against calicivirus, herpesvirus-1, panleukopenia, and rabies (OR, 10; p = 0.002). This study shows a high prevalence of seropositivity for T. gondii in cats in Greece. This implies that toxoplasmosis is still a major public health concern and that optimal strategies for the prevention of infection with T. gondii in cats should be established.

Abstract:
Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous zoonotic parasite, with felines being the only definitive hosts. Cats shed oocysts with their faeces, and seroprevalence studies can be used to indirectly assess the environmental contamination. The current study aimed to evaluate T. gondii seroprevalence in Greek cats and identify possible risk factors. In total, 1554 blood samples were analyzed from different cats across all nine geographic regions of Greece, and a short questionnaire was completed for each cat. A rapid immunochromatographic test was used to detect anti-T. gondii antibodies, IgG type, and 21.8% of cats were seropositive. Regarding risk factors, when chi-square tests were applied, seropositivity was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in rural cats, cats with outdoor access, and hunting cats. Gender, age, ownership, and raw feeding were not significant risk factors, although female, adult, stray, and raw-feeding cats had a higher seroprevalence than their counterparts. Binary logistic regression models were developed to adjust for the confounding effects of the initially recognized risk factors, and only hunting in urban areas remained a significant risk factor. Greek cats had lower seropositivity than the average European value, and the present research highlights the importance of updated seroprevalence and risk factor studies within the context of One-Health.

Abstract:
Exotic predators have driven the extinction of many island species. We examined impacts of feral cats on the abundance and anti-predator behaviours of Aegean wall lizards in the Cyclades (Greece), where cats were introduced thousands of years ago. We compared populations with high and low cat density on Naxos Island and populations on surrounding islets with no cats. Cats reduced wall lizard populations by half. Lizards facing greater risk from cats stayed closer to refuges, were more likely to shed their tails in a standardized assay, and fled at greater distances when approached by either a person in the field or a mounted cat decoy in the laboratory. All populations showed phenotypic plasticity in flight initiation distance, suggesting that this feature is ancient and could have helped wall lizards survive the initial introduction of cats to the region. Lizards from islets sought shelter less frequently and often initially approached the cat decoy. These differences reflect changes since islet isolation and could render islet lizards strongly susceptible to cat predation.

Abstract:
Bartonellosis and haemoplasmosis are vector-borne diseases with global impact on the health of domestic cats and of zoonotic importance. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological aspects of various populations of cats infected with Bartonella spp. or haemoplasma species. The populations evaluated included client-owned cats, stray cats and cats that live in breeding catteries in Greece. A total of 452 cats were prospectively enrolled into the study. A commercially available indirect immunofluorescence antibody testkit was used for the detection of Bartonella henselae IgG antibodies in serum. PCRs for the detection of Bartonella spp. and haemoplasma species DNA in the blood were also performed in a subgroup of 242 of the 452 cats. Risk factors for B. henselae seropositivity and infection with the haemoplasma species were determined using multivariable analysis. Overall, 160 (35.4%) of the 452 cats were seropositive for B. henselae. Seven (2.9%) and 46 (19%) of the 242 cats were PCR-positive for Bartonella spp. and haemoplasma species, respectively. The factors associated with B. henselae seropositivity, based on multivariate analysis, included older age, outdoor access, living region and flea infestation. Non-administration of ectoparasiticides was associated with haemoplasma species infection. This study shows a high prevalence of seropositivity for B. henselae and a relatively high prevalence of infection with haemoplasma species. Therefore, it is necessary to establish optimal strategies for the prevention of Bartonella spp. and haemoplasma species infections, considering the high-risk groups of cats identified in this study.

Abstract:
Abstract To get an overview on the prevalence of intestinal helminths, between 2010 and 2012, fecal samples from 215 stray cats from area of Thessaloniki, Greece, were tested by coprological methods. From the total number of fecal samples examined, 55.8 % were infected with at least one intestinal parasite and 16.3 % had co-infection. Five different parasite species were found. The most prevalent helminth was Dipylidium caninum (39.53 %), followed by Toxocara cati (18.14 %), Ancylostoma spp. (11.63 %), Taenia taeniaeformis (8.37 %) and Toxascaris leonina (0.93 %). The results showed that A. tubaeforme and T. taeniaeformis were more prevalent in males, while D. caninum, T. cati and T. leonina in female cats, without statistical significance. The prevalence of Ancylostoma spp. and T. cati were significantly higher in young cats (< 1 year old) than in adults (> 1 year old). The most common association was between D. caninum and T. cati.

Abstract:
Over the past few years, the protozoan parasite Tritrichomonas foetus (T foetus) has emerged as a new and important cause of feline diarrhea in the international veterinary community. In a recent study, the presence of T. foetus was confirmed for the first time in cats in Greece. The protozoan parasite Τ foetus has been primarily known as a cause of trichomoniasis in cattle. In this animal species, the parasite affects the reproductive system of both males and females and is associated with infertility and other reproductive problems. It was first described as a cause of feline diarrhea in 2003 in the United States. Since then, feline Τ.foetus -associated diarrhea has been reported in many countries around the world and, recently, it was, also, described in cats in Greece. The trophozoites of the parasite are excreted in the feces and healthy cats are infected with the ingestion of T. foetus trophozoites. Τ foetus affects mainly the colon and the last part of the small intestine. Τ/oeto-associated diarrhea occurs mainly in young cats, but cats of any age can be infected and develop clinical signs. The main clinical sign is diarrhea, which may contain mucus or blood, and it often has spontaneous remissions and exacerbations. General clinical sings such as anorexia, weight loss and fever occur less frequently. If left untreated, the diarrhea often persists for months or years. In some cats, the clinical signs eventually resolve without treatment, but this can take up to 2 years. Moreover, these animals usually remain infected and are a source of infection for other cats (or humans) and often the clinical signs relapse in situations of stress. Feline Τ foetus infection can be diagnosed mainly by: a) microscopic examination of fecal samples, b) fecal culture specific for Τ foetus and c) fecal PCR. None of the above methods is diagnostic in 100% of cases and, therefore, these methods should be used in combination and bearing in mind the disadvantages of each method. Most antiparasitic and antibiotic drugs are not effective in treating diarrhea caused by T. foetus . Transient improvement can be seen with the use of common antibiotics or antiparasitic drugs, but the clinical signs typically recur with discontinuation of treatment. The only drug with proven efficacy against T. foetus in cats is ronidazol, which is usually used at a dose of 30 mg/kg, orally every 24 hours for 14 days. In some cases, the clinical sings recur with discontinuation of treatment but they usually resolve after one additional treatment cycle. The most serious side effect of ronidazole in cats is the development of neurological signs, but those usually resolve with discontinuation of treatment. Finally, T. foetus may be transmitted to humans, although this has not been proven.

Abstract:
Environment and its conservation is one of the key issues across the globe these days. It is even more important in the Scandinavian region.Swedenis one of the leading pro-environment nations in the world when it comes to environment-friendly or green automobiles. Introducing emissions tax, green car rebate, and congestion tax exemption for green cars on large cities have resulted in a surge of green car sales inSwedenover the past few years. The preferences of the Swedish green car consumers are examined in this study.   Consumer decision process and preferences related theories have been used for the theoretical understanding of this study and based on these understandings, the Adaptive Choice Based Conjoint Analysis has been selected to measure and understand the consumer preferences towards green cars. The Swedish green car market has been explained and understood as a prerequisite to conduct this study. Examinations of previous related studies, a small scale pre-screening survey, and expert interviews were carried out prior to formulating the conjoint experiment to ensure the inclusion of significant components into the study. The collected data were analyzed using advanced analysis software such as, SSI Web, SMRT, and SPSS, to understand and measure consumer preferences. The findings provide answers to the importance of different attributes in the purchase decision-making for green cars, the effect of each attribute to the decision-making process, the effect of prior purchase experience on the formation of preference, and the relationship between consumer’s green consciousness level and green decision-making process.   This study contributes to the theoretical field of green consumer behavior and to the practical field of marketing of green cars. The study also identifies and recommends key areas of interest that warrant further research.   Key Words: High Involvement Purchase, Green Consumer Behavior, Conjoint Analysis, Adaptive Choice Based Conjoint Analysis (ACBC), Green Preference, Green Car.

Abstract:
This study aims to understand the extent to which Prius owners are susceptible to single action bias, a phenomenon that occurs when one executes an initial, single action to solve a particular problem and then ceases to take further action. Here, participants were of two groups – Prius owners and non-Prius owners. It was hypothesized that Prius owners would, in fact, be less likely to perform smaller, easier green tasks (such as recycling) than those who did not own the hybrid – simply because they believed they have already done their part for the environment. Results failed to allow a rejection of null hypothesis. Further explored in the non-Prius group was recycling as the initial, single action, and a significant positive spillover effect was seen. Concern for the environment, regardless of car ownership, was a significant factor in green behavior. The Prius as a public statement of one‟s attitude is discussed.

In July of 2002, the California State Legislature passed the "California Clean Cars Bill," the first law in the United States to regulate carbon dioxide as a vehicular pollutant. California's vehicular standards have implications across the country; at least eight other states have committed to adopt them. The passage of the legislation was as controversial as it was groundbreaking. Over the course of the year and a half that the bill was in the state legislature, environmentalists and the auto industry fought for the public's support of their positions. Although the auto industry had the benefit of a multi-million dollar advertising budget, environmentalists adopted tactics that proved more effective in the battle for Californians' support. This thesis describes the environmentalists' coalition-building and problem-definition tactics and how they enabled the environmentalists to gain public support.

Abstract:
The aim of this dissertation is the creation of a terminology project of 50 entries in Slovak language. The domain of the project is green cars. The terminology resource was created as part of a project with the Terminology Coordination unit of the European Parliament (TermCoord), which is responsible for the managing of the IATE (InterActive Terminology for Europe) terminology database. The final result of the terminology project was presented to the TermCoord to be implemented into IATE. Apart from creating the resource, the results of the work conducted for this dissertation has lead to a deep analysis of the IATE database, putting the focus on the managing strategy of the resource and highlighting strong points and criticisms for the users of the database. The dissertation is composed of four chapters. The first chapter is dedicated to a theoretical overview of special languages and terminology, with a brief section dedicated to the building of corpora for terminology purposes. The second chapter presents the translation and terminology services at the EU institutions, which it was possible to analyse during the internship at the DGTranslation of the European Commission in Brussels. In the third chapter, the process for the extraction of the Slovak terms to input into the termbase is described, starting from the retrievement of terms in English and then analysisng the process to extract the Slovak equivalent to build the termbase. The fourth chapter analyses the results of the terminology research and illustrates the structure of the final monolingual termbase.

Abstract:
Julien Green aime à la fois la peinture, la sculpture. Il s'en inspire pour dessiner certains de ses personnages et même pour inventer la totalité de certains de ses livres. Il accorde de l'importance aux illustrations qui ornent ses textes ou leurs couvertures. Et il compare mentalement l'univers à un livre-artistique et divin. Conformément à cette logique esthétique, l'écrivain utilise un vocabulaire sculptural et des métaphores matérielles afin de décrire le corps humain (et désirable). Et il se sert d'un lexique chromatique et pictural et de l'opposition primordiale du noir et du blanc pour faire des portraits et pour restituer la beauté (spirituelle) des visages. Il invente finalement un modèle, au sens platonique du terme et il pense une peinture plastique qui donne la merveilleuse illusion du relief. On constate également que Julien Green cite les œuvres d'art de manière originale, mais parfois répétitive, ce qui lui permet de structurer certains de ses récits et d'inventer certains de ses personnages. En somme, il se fie à ses convictions esthétiques pour imaginer une topographie originale et pour nous décrire les maisons ou les musées où déambulent souvent ses personnages. On a même l'impression qu'il définit les individus qu'il imagine en fonction de leurs convictions artistiques, en fonction de la manière dont ils s'approprient où dont ils inventent l'œuvre d'art. Il se comporte finalement en héritier de Baudelaire. Il trouve des correspondances entre les arts et entre les genres littéraires. Et, comme Marcel Proust, il se montre capable de concevoir la beauté matérielle, platonicienne et abstraite des œuvres d'art. Il définit à sa manière la splendeur des signes artistiques, amoureux et religieux.

Air pollution from the point of view of chemical hazards to human takes the first place. According to scientific research, the contribution of air pollution is from 80 to 90% of the total carcinogenic and non- carcinogenic risk which is associated with the influence of the pollution of other contaminants in the environment. Transport consumes a huge amount of energetic natural resources. A third of all oil produced in the world is spent to ensure the work of transport and automobile transport is the most energy intensive if compared with all other kinds of transport.

AbstractThis chapter examines to what extent two late medieval nomadic groups in the southern Balkans adopted the economic practices of the areas they moved into, in order to achieve agricultural sustainability. In the fourteenth century, these two groups, Turk yörüks and transhumant Albanians, migrated to Greece in order to invigorate depopulated areas and reclaim lands in Thessaly and the Peloponnese respectively. Almost three generations after their establishment, Ottoman taxation cadastres cast light on their agricultural and pastoral activities. Even though these groups followed different trajectories in their sedentarisation—more or less dictated by their ethnocultural peculiarities—they both focused over time on farming basic, life-sustaining crops, such as cereals, which were complimentary to the manifold market-oriented farming activities of the long-settled local Greeks.

Abstract:
Research groups around the world have reached common and contradicting conclusions regarding the behavior and properties of nanostructured materials. The aim of this research is to affirm the common findings by previous research, and support one of the currently proposed concepts of mechanical behavior based on processing and characterization of consolidated nanocrystalline micropowders of high strength/precipitation hardenable aluminum alloy using combined PM/intense plastic straining via Equal Channel angular Extrusion (ECAE). This research work investigated the effect of (a) Cold and hot consolidation of nanocrystalline Al-2124 micropowders into compacts with 4.0 h/d ratio and (b) Canning material used for encapsulating the compact rods for subsequent extrusion within the ECAE channels, and (c) the effect of ECAE number of passes and routes on the green compact properties. The effect of the processing parameters (compaction condition, extrusion temperature, strain rate) on the sample density, grain, subgrain and subcell sizes, and hardness was studied. Pure wrought and cast Cu, and casts Al-cans as well as Al-2024 wrought cans were used for canning of the consolidated powders. Green and hot compact rods were produced from 40μm average particle size Al-2124 powders with 53nm internal structure. Highest density consolidated rods were produced for the double sided cold compaction at 6σ (450MPa) over duration of 30min, while single sided compaction at similar pressure over 60min duration time of compaction and at temperature of 480°C produced the most dense and highest hardness hot compacts. Pure wrought Cu and cast Al are the most suitable canning material for room temperature ECAE of the Al-2124 green compacts. Non-isothermal heating during extrusion hindered the uniform warm deformation of the green and hot compacts canned in wrought Al-2024. Loose powder particles of the green compacts results in particle rotation while passing though the 90° angle intersecting channels of ECAE, and hence prevents full consolidation and densification of the produced product.

Abstract:
Abstract Increased deployment of intermittent renewable energy resources such as wind and solar PV requires long duration energy storage (LDES) to maximize their utilization. In this paper, using rigorous process simulation models, it will be demonstrated that CAES technology, when combined with co-located manufacturing and storage of green hydrogen (H2) manufactured by excess renewable energy resources, provides the most efficient option for LDES. Specifically, it will be shown quantitatively that CAES plus green H2, or “green CAES”, is the most sensible approach to H2 storage when the limited amounts that can be generated via electrolysis (requiring exorbitant amounts of excess energy) are considered.

Abstract:
The goal of this study is to add to the understanding of the overall emissions caused by cars using both gasoline and existing alternative fuels. We will include the emission from the vehicle itself and also from upstream sources, primarily the source of the energy used to actually move the vehicle. The fact that electric motors have better efficiencies than internal combustion engines and the fact that power plants usually have higher thermal efficiencies than an engine seems to suggest that that the electric vehicle will be the more efficient in terms of emissions per vehicle kilometer. The complexities of vehicle propulsion become evident when one compares all the details of the available options, such as electric vehicles have to transport extra weight in batteries to increase performance. In this work we evaluate the emissions from electric and gasoline vehicles that are on the road. The data shows under most conditions the current vehicles have lower emissions than gasoline cars in terms of kilograms of carbon dioxide per kilometer. The different propulsion systems are then evaluated in how they would perform in moving a standardized vehicle including the system itself through a standardized cycle, to assess whether differences in emissions are the result of the system itself or other design differences. This study found that while in general the electric vehicle is better, the source of the electricity is a crucial factor in the determination. It is found that the cars currently being produced produce less green house gases than the gasoline cars on the average. In fact two of the four cars performed better even at the highest possible emission levels. While this casts a positive light on the electric car, it is a simplistic way of looking at the data. The calculations also show that the performance levels of the gasoline cars are much higher than the electric cars; this could be the main reason for the lower emissions of electric cars. The second part of this study is focused on quantifying the differences in emissions by studying that from a standardized car in all 50 states and D.C. These differences arise from the different levels of emissions owing to the variety of combinations of methods used and the methods themselves in the generation of electricity within the 51 regions. An analysis is done on of the most efficient car that could be made with commercially available products. The results show the dependence of actual emission on the energy source. Although the national, California, Florida and lowest averages all beat the performance of the gasoline vehicle, the gasoline car won if the electric car was operated in D.C. using electricity generated in the D.C. Results for the electric car in all 51 regions and for the gasoline car have been obtained. There is an implication that lower specific power would result in more states where electric vehicles will emit more green house gases. Assuming that new cars do use the higher specific power batteries, electric vehicles will produce less green house gases than gasoline vehicles at a national level.

Abstract:
Urban heat islands have a direct impact on the areas where people are suffering from heat stress during the hot climatic conditions. In order to get relief from heat stress, many researchers have explored various strategies that have given more importance to green spaces i.e. vegetation. Urban greenery such as parks, gardens, and street trees helps to improve outdoor thermal comfort. Several research in different countries have given approaches to vegetation as improving methods for outdoor thermal comfort of urban open spaces. The main goal of this study is to analyze the human perceptions of outdoor conditions in Ratna-park, Kathmandu, Nepal through field survey and to establish the relationship between meteorological parameters. 78% of the visitors voted for neutral which shows that they are highly satisfied with the park. Additionally, the mean comfort temperature was found to be 29.1oC. People are well adapted to the thermal environment of the urban park, and thus the comfort temperature was significantly high in summer.

Abstract:
New fabrication methods for topologically complex monolithic ceramic components with accurate dimensions are being investigated. A common problem in the fabrication of precision ceramic components is controlling the forming process to attain uniform density in the green body; otherwise the tolerances achieved with green ceramics do not carry over to acceptable tolerances on the finished ceramic due to distortion and warping that occur during sintering. One of the fabrication methods under study is the fugitive phase approach in which a sacrificial material is used to form the desired channels and cavities. This paper is a continuation of previously presented work and examines the lamination step of the fugitive phase approach. In the lamination step, the green, pre-sintered, ceramic parts are layered with the sacrificial material parts and pressed together to remove air voids. During pressing uneven pressure distributions can be created in the green ceramic and the fugitive phase parts are slightly displaced or rotated. A computational model of the lamination process is used to examine how the material plasticity of the green ceramic, computational boundary conditions, and pressing duration affect the resulting geometry produced at the end of the lamination step prior to sintering. The resting stress, plastic strain, and deformed shapes are examined and compared. This information is used to complement experimental investigations of the fugitive phase approach.

Full text
Abstract:
What are the implications of primary mineral constraints for the energy transition? Low-carbon energy production uses green capital, which requires primary minerals. We build on the seminal framework for the transition from a dirty to a clean energy in Golosov et al. (2014) to incorporate the role played by primary minerals and their potential recycling. We characterize the optimal paths of the energy transition under various mineral constraint scenarios. Mineral constraints limit the development of green energy in the long run: low-carbon energy production eventually reaches a plateau. We run our simulations using copper as the limiting mineral and we allow for its full recycling. Even in the limiting case of a 100% recycling rate, after five to six decades green energy production is 50% lower than in the scenario with unlimited primary copper, and after 30 decades, GDP is 3–8% lower. In extension scenarios, we confirm that a longer life duration of green capital delays copper extraction and the green energy peak, whereas reduced recycling caps moves the peak in green energy production forward.

Abstract:
This report focuses on how cities can use climate action plans (CAPs) to ensure that on-demand mobility and autonomous vehicles (AVs) help reduce, rather than increase, green-house gas (GHG) emissions and inequitable impacts from the transportation system. We employed a three-pronged research strategy involving: (1) an analysis of the current literature on on-demand mobility and AVs; (2) a systematic content analysis of 23 CAPs and general plans developed by municipalities in California; and (3) a comparison of findings from the literature and content analysis of plans to identify opportunities for GHG emissions reduction and mobility equity. Findings indicate that maximizing the environmental and social benefits of AVs and on-demand mobility requires proactive and progressive planning; yet, most cities are lagging behind in this area. Although municipal CAPs and general plans in California have adopted a few strategies and programs relevant to AVs and on-demand mobility, many untapped opportunities exist to harness the GHG emissions reduction and social benefits potential of AVs and on-demand mobility. Policy and planning discussions should consider the synergies between AVs and on-demand mobility as two emerging mobility trends, as well as the key factors (e.g., vehicle electrification, fuel efficiency, use and ownership, access and distribution, etc.) that determine whether deployment of AVs would help reduce GHG emissions from transportation. Additionally, AVs and on-demand mobility can potentially contribute to a more equitable transportation system by improving independence and quality of life for individuals with disabilities and the elderly, enhancing access to transit, and helping alleviate the geographic gap in public transportation services.

Full text
Abstract:
The rate of fatalities at signalized intersections involving heavy vehicles is nearly five times higher than for passenger vehicles in the US. Previous studies in the US have found that heavy vehicles are twice as likely to violate a red light compared with passenger vehicles. Current technologies leverage setback detection to extend green time for a particular phase and are based upon typical deceleration rates for passenger cars. Furthermore, dilemma zone detectors are not effective when the max out time expires and forces the onset of yellow. This study proposes the use of connected vehicle (CV) technology to trigger force gap out (FGO) before a vehicle is expected to arrive within the dilemma zone limit at max out time. The method leverages position data from basic safety messages (BSMs) to map-match virtual waypoints located up to 1,050 ft in advance of the stop bar. For a 55 mph approach, field tests determined that using a 6 ft waypoint radius at 50 ft spacings would be sufficient to match 95% of BSM data within a 5% lag threshold of 0.59 s. The study estimates that FGOs reduce dilemma zone incursions by 34% for one approach and had no impact for the other. For both approaches, the total dilemma zone incursions decreased from 310 to 225. Although virtual waypoints were used for evaluating FGO, the study concludes by recommending that trajectory-based processing logic be incorporated into controllers for more robust support of dilemma zone and other emerging CV applications.

Abstract:
The Southeast Coast Network (SECN) conducts long-term terrestrial vegetation monitoring as part of the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Program. The vegetation community vital sign is one of the primary-tier resources identified by SECN park managers, and monitoring is conducted at 15 network parks (DeVivo et al. 2008). Monitoring plants and their associated communities over time allows for targeted understanding of ecosystems within the SECN geography, which provides managers information about the degree of change within their parks? natural vegetation. 2021 was the first year of conducting monitoring at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park (KEMO). Fourteen vegetation plots were established throughout the park from July through August. Data collected in each plot included species richness across multiple spatial scales, species-specific cover and constancy, species-specific woody stem seedling/sapling counts and adult trees (greater than 10 centimeters [3.9 inches {in}]) diameter at breast height (DBH), overall tree health, landform, soil, observed disturbance, and woody biomass (i.e., fuel load) estimates. This report summarizes the baseline (year 1) terrestrial vegetation data collected at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park in 2021. Data were stratified across two dominant broadly defined habitats within the park, Piedmont Upland Forests and Shrublands; and Piedmont Open Uplands and Woodlands. Noteworthy findings include: 184 vascular plant taxa (species or lower) were observed across 14 vegetation plots, including 27 species not previously documented within the park. The most frequently encountered species in each broadly defined habitat included: Piedmont Open Uplands and Woodlands: wafer-ash (Ptelea trifoliata var. mollis), white fringe-tree (Chionanthus virginicus), winged elm (Ulmus alata), hog plum (Prunus umbellata), Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), and blackseed speargrass (Piptochaetium avenaceum). Piedmont Upland Forests and Shrublands: loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), tuliptree (Liriodendron tulipifera var. tulipifera), black cherry (Prunus serotina var. serotina), muscadine (Muscadinia rotundifolia var. rotundifolia), Virginia creeper, and cat greenbrier (Smilax glauca). Fourteen non-native species categorized as invasive by the Georgia Exotic Pest Plant Council (GA-EPPC 2023) were encountered within the park during monitoring. Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) was the most frequently encountered and abundant invasive plant within the park. Two species of special concern listed for Georgia (GADNR 2023) were observed during monitoring and included green, or Missouri, rock cress (Boechera missouriensis) and Stone Mountain mint (Pycnanthemum curvipes). Northern red oak (Quercus rubra), winged elm, and eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana) were the most dominant species within the tree stratum of Piedmont Open Uplands and Woodlands of Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park; loblolly pine, sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) and tuliptree were the most dominant species of Piedmont Upland Forests and Shrublands. Chinese privet was the most abundant species within the seedling stratum of Piedmont Open Upland and Woodland sites. Heavy browsing impacts by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) were observed within the upland forests of Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. Long-term monitoring of vegetation structure and composition within the park can be used to determine forest regeneration patterns as they relate to changes in browsing pressure. Other threats to native vegetation within the park are (1) the high prevalence of non-native, invasive plant species, and (2) fire suppression within oak-hickory and pine-oak xeric and intermediate forests. Long-term monitoring data will aid in understanding how these threats over time impact the park?s forest communities. All plots monitored during this sampling are scheduled to be resampled in 2025.

Monitoring plants and their associated communities over time allows for targeted understanding of ecosystems within the SECN geography, which provides managers information about the degree of change within their parks? natural vegetation. 2021 marked the ?rst year of conducting this monitoring e?ort at Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CHAT). Thirty vegetation plots were established throughout the park from June through July. Data collected in each plot included species richness across multiple spatial scales, species-speci?c cover and constancy, species-speci?c woody stem seedling/sapling counts and adult tree (greater than 10 centimeters [3.9 inches {in}]) diameter at breast height (DBH), overall tree health, landform, soil, observed disturbance, and woody biomass (i.e., fuel load) estimates. This report summarizes the baseline (year 1) terrestrial vegetation data collected at Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area in 2021. Data were strati?ed across two dominant broadly de?ned habitats within the park, including Piedmont Upland Forests and Piedmont Alluvial Wetland Vegetation and three land parcels: North?from Bowman?s Island to Abbotts Bridge, Middle?from Medlock Bridge to Gold Branch, and South?from Sope Creek to Palisades. Noteworthy ?ndings include: 299 vascular plant taxa were observed across 30 vegetation plots, including 29 species not previously documented within the park. The most frequently encountered species in each broadly de?ned habitat included: Piedmont Alluvial Wetland Vegetation: Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), eastern poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans var. radicans), muscadine (Muscadinia rotundifolia var. rotundifolia), and smallspike false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica). Piedmont Upland Forests: tuliptree (Liriodendron tulipifera var. tulipifera), eastern poison ivy, Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), cat greenbrier (Smilax glauca), muscadine, mockernut hickory (Carya tomentosa), and black edge sedge (Carex nigromarginta). Sixteen non-native species categorized as invasive by the Georgia Exotic Pest Plant Council (GA-EPPC 2023) were encountered during this monitoring e?ort, including two not previously detected within the park?miniature beefsteak plant (Mosla dianthera) and Chinese holly (Ilex cornuta). Chinese privet and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) were the most frequently encountered and abundant invasive plant within the park. One species of special concern listed for Georgia (GADNR 2024) was observed during this monitoring e?ort?large-fruited sanicle (Sanicula trifoliata). Tuliptree, loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), boxelder (Acer negundo var. negundo), river birch (Betula nigra), and sweetgum were the most dominant species within the tree stratum of Piedmont Alluvial Wetlands of Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area; white oak (Quercus alba), loblolly pine, tuliptree, and mockernut hickory were the most dominant species of Piedmont Upland Forests. Chinese privet was the most abundant species within the sapling and seedling strata of Piedmont Alluvial Wetlands. The mortality rate of green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) within Piedmont Alluvial Wetland plots was high, and it is likely these trees succumbed to impacts from emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis). The emerald ash borer is a wood-boring pest of ash (Fraxinus sp.) and is native to Asia. Since its discovery in the U. S. in the early 2000s, the insect has been responsible for the death of tens of millions of ash trees in the eastern and midwestern parts of the country. At this time, it is not certain whether the declining health of ash within Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is due to emerald ash borer, edaphic factors that are responsible for natural mortality and decline, or other factors. Other threats to native vegetation within the park are: (1) the high prevalence of non-native, invasive plant species; (2) ?re suppression within oak-hickory; and (3) impacts from heavy browse by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). All plots monitored during this sampling e?ort are scheduled to be resampled in 2024.

Comparative Analysis on Fuel Consumption Between Two Online Strategies for P2 Hybrid Electric Vehicles: Adaptive-RuleBased (A-RB) vs Adaptive-Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy (A-ECMS). SAE International, March 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.4271/2022-01-0740.

Full text
Abstract:
Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) represent one of the main technological options for reducing vehicle CO2 emissions, helping car manufacturers (OEMs) to meet the stricter targets which are set by the European Green Deal for new passenger cars at 80 g CO2/km by 2025. The optimal power-split between the internal combustion engine (ICE) and the electric motor is a challenge since it depends on many unpredictable variables. In fact, HEV improvements in fuel economy and emissions strongly depend on the energy management strategy (EMS) on-board of the vehicle. Dynamic Programming approach (DP), direct methods and Pontryagin’s minimum principle (PMP) are some of the most used methodologies to optimize the HEV power-split. In this paper two online strategies are evaluated: an Adaptive-RuleBased (A-RB) and an Adaptive-Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy (A-ECMS). At first, a description of the P2 HEV model is made. Second, the two sub-optimal strategies are described in detail and then implemented on the HEV model to derive the fuel-optimal control strategy managing the power split between the thermal and electric engine to satisfy the driver's power request, including the engine on/off operating mode and the best gear selection. Finally, the two proposed strategies are tested on different driving cycles and then compared to other commercial strategies available in literature, such as the Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy (ECMS) and a RuleBased (RB) strategy. The results show that the A-ECMS is more conservative in terms of state of charge (SoC) compared to the A-RB. In fact, in the A-ECMS the SoC is always within the admissible range with considerable margin from the upper and lower limits for tested cycles, while in the A-RB a deep discharge of the battery is allowed. This behavior leads to a better fuel consumption of the A-RB compared to the A-ECMS, both in the WLTC and in the FTP-75 cycle.
