Abstract:

In the thesis of “Mohammed Aijaz Mohiuddin”, Engineering Nature-Inspired Heuristics for the Open Shortest Path First Weight Setting Problem, nature inspired heuristics were developed. Besides the existing two objectives, namely maximum utilization and the number of congested links, a third objective namely the number of unused links was used to formulate the fuzzy based objective function for the OSPFWS problem. The idea was to make use unused network links if any. Furthermore, a hybrid fuzzy based evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization (FEPSO) algorithm was designed that harnessed evolutionary intelligence along with swarm intelligence. The proposed FEPSO algorithm was tested on different size test cases and its performance was mutually compared with other algorithms namely Simulated Annealing, Simulated Evolution, Particle Swarm Optimization, Weighted Aggregation Particle Swarm Optimization, Pareto-dominance Particle Swarm Optimization and Non-dominating Sorting Genetic Algorithm. Obtained results suggested the better performance of FEPSO among other algorithms over majority of test cases.

Abstract:

Very little guidance exists on the design of steel column base connections for biaxial flexure combined with axial compression. This study aims to develop a design method for designing these connections for combined loading. To this end, an extensive experimental programme that consisted of 32 tests to failure, was carried out. The programme varied plate thickness, holding-down bolt diameter, axial force level and loading angle. Ancillary tests were carried out to establish material strengths and to assess the importance of bond to the design of the connection. The programme was augmented with detailed finite element analyses that were calibrated with the experimental results. It was found that the contribution of bond to the final anchorage strength of the connection is negligible and should be ignored. Very little concrete damage was observed during the experimental phase and current design guidance for concrete bearing strength is very conservative. Increases in plate thickness, holding-down bolt diameter and axial force were found to increase the connection strength. Increases in loading angle, from strong-axis to weakaxis bending were found to decrease connection strength. Furthermore, the plate thickness and holding-down bolt parameters were found to be interdependent. Increases in axial compression were found to increase the initial connection stiffness. Finally, a new mechanical model is proposed for designing base connection. The model enables the construction of thrust-moment interaction diagrams that can be used directly for design. A shortened listing of the source code used to generate the interaction curve in this work is included in the Appendix.

Abstract:

Access to the practice of a profession is controlled by formal education structures. These structures are intended to induct future professionals into the specialised knowledge, skills and values that underpin that profession. Yet, despite meeting the academic requirements of a professional degree, many graduates struggle to 'apply' specialised knowledge when confronted with problems in professional practice. This is a study of the nature of knowledge as it is mobilised in professional reasoning. The case studied was located in engineering education, because knowledge relations tend to be more explicit in education than in practice. The data were collected from design projects located in two differently structured curricula in civil and mechanical engineering curricula. The research questions that directed the study were: 1. What is the nature of the reasoning involved when specialised disciplinary knowledge is recruited to develop specific, often concrete, artefacts? 2. What is the logic of progression in a trajectory of engineering design tasks in terms of the relation between knowledge and artefact? The study draws on two intellectual fields: models of professional reasoning and design thinking on one hand, and social realism in the sociology of education on the other. These traditions take different positions on professional reasoning. Design thinking is concerned with contextual detail and case precedent, while social realism in the sociology of education is concerned with conceptual coherence within knowledge specialisations and the power of generalisation. Both offer important insights into professional reasoning, but alone neither is adequate. The analysis was done using the semantics dimension of Legitimation Code Theory, LCT (Semantics), which required an adaptation in order to fully describe the significance of contextual detail evident in the data. The findings showed that specialised knowledge and contextual detail interact far more dialectically than previously assumed. This provides empirical insights for structuring curricula. Students can be more intentionally inducted into recontextualising academic knowledge for the purpose of solving contextually emergent problems. Theoretically the study contributes to the social realist school within the sociology of education by revealing its blindness to contextual detail and consequently offering a fuller understanding of the nature of regions. This has implications for other studies of professional knowledge and education.

Full text

Abstract:

A study was made of the factors governing the production of the mycotoxin patulin in nature, including biological and physiological factors. The objective of the research described in this thesis was to study the ability of the indigenous fungi of fruits and the apple rot fungus, Penicillium expansum, to grow and to produce patulin in different substrates, both natural (apples, sugar beet, wheat straw) and laboratory media. The effect of carbon and nitrogen sources and the relationship between the production of the toxin and nitrification and its action with the natural isolated bacteria and fungi was also investigated. Common members of the genus Penicillium were found to represent a high percentage of the indigenous fungal flora isolated from both apples and sugar beet. Most of these isolates were able to produce patulin in Czapek Dox liquid medium. Although both apple fruit and sugar beet were naturally highly contaminated with moulds, only apples were contaminated with patulin (7598 gg kg"). Confirmatory tests showed patulin production of 8.3% and 50% (after 7 days) to 99.2% (after 30 days) by the indigenous fungi in apple and sugar beet, respectively. The indigenous fungal flora of wheat straw failed to produce patulin when growing naturally. Patulin was produced only by Penicillium expansum alone and not when growing in association with the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium. The accumulation of ammonium and nitrate during urea hydrolysis and ammonium nitrification by Penicillium sp (1), Penicillium sp (3) and Penicillim expansum was achieved with varying degree of efficiency. Urea hydrolysis, but not ammonium nitrification was associated with patulin production. Growth of P. expansum and Penicillium species (1 and 3) occurred under oligotrophic conditions. Both carbon and nitrogen are required for patulin production but it is the depletion of nitrogen which is important for production of the toxin.

Abstract:

Abstract The study explores the nature of disciplinary knowledge differences and similarities between the sciences and the engineering sciences as these appear in curriculum texts. The work is presented as a case study of curriculum knowledge in thermodynamics, and the epistemic properties are investigated in four sub-cases in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, physics and chemistry. Data was collected from prescribed undergraduate textbooks in the four disciplinary fields. The work is theoretically informed by two fields of scholarly work: the sociology of educational knowledge (in particular the work of Basil Bernstein) and the applied philosophies of science and engineering science, in order to develop a theoretical framework for analysis of the data. The framework allows the study to move beyond the typical binary classification of the sciences as 'hard-pure' and engineering sciences as 'hard-applied' disciplines. Starting from broad teleological considerations, the philosophical concepts of specialisation, idealisation and normativity are explored and developed into modalities and modal continua of variance to allow investigation of the epistemic differences and similarities in the recontextualised disciplinary knowledge from these contiguous conceptual fields. The empirical study identifies important differences in thermodynamics curriculum knowledge in terms of specialisation, normativity and idealisation across the broad disciplinary fields, rendering more complex Bernstein's notions of singulars and regions. The epistemic modalities and modes provide a way to conceive in more detail how the professional engineering science knowledge is orientated towards its field of practice. Curriculum knowledge in the engineering sciences is shown to be remarkably different from the knowledge in the sciences: both mechanical and chemical engineering knowledge emphasise particulars, rather than universals, have stronger normative aspects, and employ a limited form of idealisation in their commitment to physical realisability. By contrast, knowledge in the sciences is more universal, normativity is incidental, and idealisation is used expansively. In addition, the research findings suggest a negative correlation between idealisation and normativity as epistemic modalities: a commitment to normative concerns in the engineering sciences constrains the extent to which knowledge idealisation is pursued, compared to what is observed in the bodies of science curriculum knowledge. Furthermore, over and above differences in curriculum knowledge between the broad fields of science and engineering science, discernible variation exists between the engineering sciences investigated, raising cautions against a monolithic view of curricular epistemic properties across broad disciplinary areas.

Abstract:

The Engineering With Nature (EWN) program is a high-profile effort that aims to deliver cost-effective, broadly beneficial solutions to natural re-source and sustainability challenges across the nation. A portion of this is accomplished through the use of the EWN website, which features news, podcasts, articles, and more. The content on the EWN website serves to educate and inform hundreds of visitors monthly. This content is generated and managed by EWN team members with web development experience, as it requires manually editing the website HTML and staging changes on a development server. With the EWN website 2.0, a new website framework (WordPress) has been implemented that will save content managers time and effort by providing a front-end user interface (UI) to enable the uploading, staging, and approval of new content for the website, along with a visual refresh to herald the impending release of season 2 of the EWN Podcast. This document’s purpose is to demonstrate the functionality of the new EWN website and provide instructional material for those managing content via the new EWN website.

Abstract:

The purpose of this technical note is to underline the growing need for Engineering With Nature® (EWN) guidance for inland fluvial systems. In comparison to the EWN coastal initiatives, guidance, and technical publications, emphasis on inland fluvial systems has been primarily focused on larger river systems, rather than smaller and intermediate-sized tributary systems. As EWN continues to expand its offerings and support inland systems, there is a strong need to fill data gaps and offer case study examples from underrepresented issues across different hydro-physiographic regions and ecosystems. Accordingly, this technical note offers background on the growing need for riverine EWN guidance as well recommendations moving forward to help address those needs.

Abstract:

The Engineering With Nature® (EWN) Program supports nature-based solutions that reduce coastal-storm and flood risks while providing environmental and socioeconomic benefits. Combining the beneficial use of dredged sediments with the restoration or creation of islands increases habitat and recreation, keeps sediment in the system, and reduces coastal-storm and flood impacts. Given the potential advantages of islands, EWN seeks to support science-based investigations of island performance, impacts, and benefits through collaborative multidisciplinary efforts. Using a series of case studies led by US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) districts and others, this technical report highlights the role of islands in providing coastal resilience benefits in terms of reducing waves and erosion as well as other environmental and socioeconomic benefits to the communities and the ecosystems they reside in.

Abstract:

To deliver infrastructure that sustain our communities, economy, and environment, we must innovate, modernize, and even revolutionize our approach to infrastructure development. Change takes courage, but as one starts down the path of innovation, what was once novel becomes more familiar, more established. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is walking this path with our partners through the Engineering With Nature (EWN) Initiative, integrating human engineering with natural systems. The International Guidelines on Natural and Nature-Based Features for Flood Risk Management are the next step toward revolutionary infrastructure development—a set of real-world guidelines to help familiarize us with what was once novel. USACE and collaborators around the world have been building, learning, and documenting the best practices for constructing Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) for decades. The consolidation of these lessons into a single guidance document gives decision-makers and practitioners a much-needed resource to pursue, consider, and apply NNBF for flood risk management while expanding value through infrastructure. Relationships and partnerships are vital ingredients for innovation and progress. The NNBF Guidelines was achieved because of the strong relationships in the nature-based engineering community. The magnitude and diversity of contributors to the NNBF Guidelines have resulted in a robust resource that provides value beyond a single agency, sector, or nation. Similarly, the work of incorporating NNBF into projects will require us to strengthen our relationships across organizations, mandates, and missions to achieve resilient communities. I hope you are inspired by the collaborative achievement of the NNBF Guidelines and will draw from this resource to develop innovative solutions to current and future flood risk management challenges. There is a lot we can achieve together along the path of revolutionary infrastructure development.
