Comparison of Flood Inundation Modeling Frameworks within a Small Coastal Watershed during a Compound Flood Event
Authors: Gutenson Joseph , Tavakoly Ahmad , Islam Mohammad , Wing Oliver , Lehman William , Hamilton Chase , Wahl Mark , Massey Chris
Published: February 2022

Abstract. The flooding brought about by compound coastal flooding can be devastating. Before, during, and immediately following these events, flood inundation maps, or Events Maps, can provide essential information to emergency management. However, there are a number of frameworks capable of estimating Event Maps during flood events. In this article, we evaluate three such Event Map frameworks in the context of Hurricane Harvey. Our analysis reveals that each of the three frameworks provide different inundation maps that differ in their level of accuracy. Each of the three Event Maps also produce different exposure and consequence estimates because of their physical differences. This investigation highlights the need for a centralized means of vetting and adjudicating multiple Event Maps during compound flood events empowered by the ability to distribute Event Maps as geographic information system (GIS) services and coalesce Event Maps into a common operating picture. Furthermore, we provide evidence that the ability to produce multi-model estimates of Events Maps to create probabilistic Event Maps may provide a better product than the use of a lone Event Map.
Multi-method monitoring of rockfall activity along the classic route up Mont Blanc (4809 m a.s.l.) to encourage adaptation by mountaineers

Abstract. There are on average 35 fatal mountaineering accidents per summer in France. On average, since 1990, 3.7 of them have occurred every summer in the Grand Couloir du Goûter, on the classic route up Mont Blanc (4809 m a.s.l.). Rockfall is one of the main factors that explain this high accident rate and contribute to making it one of the most accident-prone areas in the Alps for mountaineers. In this particular context, the objective of this study is to document the rockfall activity and its triggering factors in the Grand Couloir du Goûter in order to disseminate the results to mountaineers and favour their adaptation to the local rockfall hazard. Using a multi-method monitoring system (five seismic sensors, an automatic digital camera, three rock subsurface temperature sensors, a traffic sensor, a high-resolution topographical survey, two weather stations and a rain gauge), we acquired a continuous database on rockfalls during a period of 68 d in 2019 and some of their potential triggering factors (precipitation, ground and air temperatures, snow cover, frequentation by climbers). At the seasonal scale, our results confirm
previous studies showing that rockfalls are most frequent during the
snowmelt period in permafrost-affected rockwalls. Furthermore, the
unprecedented time precision and completeness of our rockfall database at
high elevation thanks to seismic sensors allowed us to investigate the factors triggering rockfalls. We found a clear correlation between rockfall frequency and air temperature, with a 2 h delay between peak air temperature and peak rockfall activity. A small number of rockfalls seem to be triggered by mountaineers. Our data set shows that climbers are not aware of the variations in rockfall frequency and/or cannot/will not adapt their behaviour to this hazard. These results should help to define an adaptation strategy for climbers. Therefore, we disseminated our results within the mountaineering community thanks to the full integration of our results into the management of the route by local actors. Knowledge built during this experiment has already been used for the definition and implementation of management measures for the attendance in summer 2020.
Wildfire–atmosphere interaction index for extreme-fire behaviour
Authors: Artés Tomàs , Castellnou Marc , Houston Durrant Tracy , San-Miguel Jesús
Published: February 2022

Abstract. During the last 20 years extreme wildfires have challenged firefighting capabilities. Often, the prediction of the extreme behaviour is essential for the safety of citizens and firefighters. Currently, there are several fire danger indices routinely used by firefighting services, but they are not suited to forecast extreme-wildfire behaviour at the global scale. This article proposes a new fire danger index, the extreme-fire behaviour index (EFBI), based on the analysis of the vertical profiles of the atmosphere above wildfires as an addition to the use of traditional fire danger indices. The EFBI evaluates the ease of interaction between wildfires and the atmosphere that could lead to deep moist convection and erratic and extreme wildfires. Results of this research through the analysis of some of the critical fires in the last years show that the EFBI can potentially be used to provide valuable information to identify convection-driven fires and to enhance fire danger rating schemes worldwide.
Exhumation and erosion of the Northern Apennines, Italy: new insights from low-temperature thermochronometers
Authors: Erlanger Erica D. , Fellin Maria Giuditta , Willett Sean D.
Published: February 2022

Abstract. Analysis of new detrital apatite fission-track (AFT) ages
from modern river sands, published bedrock and detrital AFT ages, and
bedrock apatite (U-Th)/He (AHe) ages from the Northern Apennines provides new
insights into the spatial and temporal patterns of erosion rates through time
across the orogen. The pattern of time-averaged erosion rates derived from
AHe ages from the Ligurian side of the orogen illustrates slower erosion
rates relative to AFT rates from the Ligurian side and relative to AHe rates
from the Adriatic side. These results are corroborated by an analysis of
paired AFT and AHe thermochronometer samples, which illustrate that erosion
rates have generally increased through time on the Adriatic side but have
decreased through time on the Ligurian side. Using an updated kinematic
model of an asymmetric orogenic wedge, with imposed erosion rates on the
Ligurian side that are a factor of 2 slower relative to the Adriatic side,
we demonstrate that cooling ages and maximum burial depths are able to
replicate the pattern of measured cooling ages across the orogen and
estimates of burial depth from vitrinite reflectance data. These results
suggest that horizontal motion is an important component of the overall rock
motion in the wedge, and that the asymmetry of the orogen has existed for at
least several million years.
Thermal signature and quantification of charcoal in soil by differential scanning calorimetry and BPCA markers
Authors: Hardy Brieuc , Borchard Nils , Leifeld Jens
Published: February 2022

Abstract. Black carbon (BC) plays an important role in terrestrial carbon storage and can improve sustainably soil fertility. Nevertheless, the accurate quantification of BC remains a critical issue to fully unravel the functions and dynamics of BC in soil. In this work, we explored the potential of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to identify, characterize and quantify charcoal in the soil of pre-industrial charcoal kiln sites (CKS) from a diversity of forest and cropland soils in Belgium and Germany. Pre-industrial charcoals and uncharred soil organic matter (SOM) demonstrated a distinct thermal signature that allowed their discrimination, with charcoal being more thermally stable than SOM. The DSC pattern of charcoals is characterized by one to three specific exotherms varying in size and position depending on soil conditions. From our data, we assume that the thermal moieties within charcoal depend on the strength of chemical bonds of C atoms (increasing with the degree of aromatic condensation and decreasing with weathering) and on the activation energy required to onset the combustion. Despite the specific thermal features of charcoal, its decomposition spans over a wide range of temperatures that overlaps with the thermal signature of uncharred SOM. This stresses the challenge of BC quantification in soil and hinders the use of cut-off temperatures to accurately quantify charcoal in soil. Therefore, charcoal-C content was estimated from the relative height of exotherms attributed either to the combustion of charcoal or SOM. For a selection of 45 soil samples, charcoal-C content estimated by DSC was compared to benzene polycarboxylic acids (BPCA) pattern, a widely used method to quantify BC in soil. The two methods correlated strongly (R2 = 0.97), with BPCA-C representing about one fifth of DSC-derived charcoal-C. This remind us that operationally-defined BC content has an absolute quantitative value only if the recovery rate is controlled, which is very complicated for many case studies. Overall, our results demonstrate that dynamic thermal analysis is largely under-exploited despite providing rapidly and at low cost quantitatively interpretable information all over the continuum of soil organic matter.

Badan Nasional Penempatan dan Perlindungan Tenaga Kerja Indonesia (BNP2TKI) mengemukakan bahwa warga asal Jawa Barat (Jabar) paling banyak menjadi Tenaga Kerja Indonesia (TKI) dibanding wilayah lainnya yaitu sebanyak 50.910 pada tahun 2018. Sayangnya, permasalahan TKI muncul sejak proses awal di Indonesia. Mulai dari penyaluran TKI melalui agen illegal melalui makelar yang datang ke desa, dengan janji upah tertentu, pilihan pekerjaan yang banyak, dan menawarkan bantuan kemudahan proses. Mayoritas dari mereka berpendidikan rendah. Mereka bergaji rendah, jam kerja tak terbatas, kondisi kerja rentan pelecehan dan penganiayaan, serta terisolasi dari dunia di luar rumah pengguna jasa. Untuk itu, edukasi terhadap calon TKI mengenai proses rekrutmen, seleksi, pelatihan, serta perlindungan hukum bagi calon TKI legal sebaiknya dilakukan untuk meminimalisir terjadinya hal-hal yang tidak diinginkan di kemudian hari. Dengan demikian, jumlah Tenaga Kerja Indonesia illegal serta risiko permasalahan TKI di luar negeri dapat dikurangi.

Deterioration Analysis and Consolidation Time Using Terzaghi 1-D Method and 3D Plaxis Modeling: A Case Study of the Tebing Tinggi Toll Road Development Project - Indrapura STA. 103 + 200
Authors: Mansur Awal , . Roesyanto , Iskandar Rudi
Published: February 2022

Land transportation has an important role in the transportation sector. Road infrastructure is growing rapidly to meet basic human needs which increasingly require rapid movement for distribution of basic needs and other logistics. Soil has the characteristics of a relatively low bearing capacity and relatively large compression and lasts a relatively long time. One of the factors that cause soft soil to have a low bearing capacity is having a high water content. The high level of compressibility in soft soils is caused by the high void ratio. The development of preloading and vertical drainage methods is also combined with the use of horizontal drainage. Preloading works to compress the subgrade. PVD (Prefebricate Vertical Drain) serves to accelerate the process of soil compaction. PHD (Prefebricate Horizontal Drain) works to drain pore water from the PVD in a horizontal direction to the outside of the embankment. Located on the Tebing Tinggi Toll Road Construction Project – Kisaran (Phase 1), the Tebing Tinggi Inderapura Toll Road in zone 3 Sta 103 +200. The purpose of writing this thesis is to analyze the magnitude of the settlement and consolidation time using analytical methods and using modelling in PLAXIS 3D. Analyzing the effect of the smear zone due to PVD erection using a mandrel. Analyzing the effectiveness of using PHD as horizontal drainage. Knowing the pore water pressure that occurs. Comparing the results of PLAXIS 3D modelling with data settlement in the field. The calculation of the consolidation settlement using the 1-dimensional Terzaghi method was obtained at 102,46 mm. This result is relatively close to the conditions that occur in the field, where the decrease in the SP-132 settlement plate in the field is 103 mm and the decrease in Asaoka is 102 mm. The consolidation time required when there is a decrease of 100 mm in PLAXIS 3D modelling with a smear zone effect is 243 days and without a smear, the zone effect is 240 days. The required consolidation time without the use of PHD is 242 days and the consolidation time from the data settlement plate 132 (SP-132) is 239 days. Calculation of settlement and consolidation time using PLAXIS 3D modelling by taking into account the effect of the smear zone gives results that are close to the situation in the field. From the results of the PLAXIS 3D modelling, it is found that the minimum pore water pressure occurs until the end of the stockpiling activity for 248 days. The use of PVD in combination with PHD is effectively applied in the field, indicated by the minimum pore water pressure that occurs is smaller than without using PHD. From the percentage of pore water pressure that occurs in the soil, 64,4% is greater by using PHD, meaning that the percentage of water that comes out is faster by using PHD.

Keywords: Preloading, PVD, PHD, consolidation, PLAXIS 3D.

Synthesis and Catalytic Activity of IM-5 Zeolite as Naphtha Cracking Catalyst for Light Olefins: A Review
Authors: Rabeeah Taj Rabeeah Taj , Erum Pervaiz Erum Pervaiz , Arshad Hussain Arshad Hussain
Published: February 2022

Light olefins are the backbone of modern industrialization. Olefins are used as feedstock for production of various industrial products such as synthetic fibers, construction materials, textiles, rubber and other chemicals in the petrochemical industry. For more than a half-century, steam/thermal hydrocarbon cracking is considered as the main route and conventional process for light olefins yield. Few drawbacks of conventional steam cracking such as extensive energy consumption, requirements of high temperature and pressure conditions, the difficult selectivity of particular light olefins and excess emission of CO2 relate to this technology, which cannot accommodate further needs regarding the chemical process industry. Steam cracking also poses a threat to uncontrolled heat. Catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons is highly appreciated as it is a less energy consuming (low temperature and pressure conditions) and an environment-friendly process for light olefins production. Catalytic cracking has been under consideration as a favorable alternative but still depends upon catalyst, its activity, and selectivity for a particular product. Catalytic cracking is quite beneficial for industrial scale. The present proficiency of refining and petro-chemistry to a great extent is based on highly active, selective, and durable catalysts. Various catalysts possess compositional diversity, surface area, and surface energy and hence provide a different pathway for the reaction to occur. Petroleum-extracted naphtha cracking technique now a days is the main process for light olefins yield. This review highlights the use of IM-5 zeoliteas an emerging catalyst for naphtha cracking process as compared to conventional catalysts in the last few decades. Structure, synthesis techniques and catalytic activity of IM-5 zeolite is reviewed. Different zeolites which can be used in naphtha cracking reactor and their applications in the catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons have been studied. This review provides a significant insight into catalytic activity comparison between conventional zeolites and IM-5 zeolite.

A series of novel 4-phenylaminobenzofuro[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives had been prepared and assessed for their in vitro antiproliferative activities against three lung cancer cell lines (A549, H460 and H1975). The bioassay results showed most of the designed compounds exhibited potential antiproliferation activities. Among them, compound 8f exhibited remarkable inhibitory activity against A549 and H460 cell lines with IC50 value of 2.54 μM and 2.68 μM, respectively, which was comparable to that of the positive control sorafenib (IC50 = 2.69 μM for A549 and 3.71 μM for H460). AO/EB staining suggests that compound 8f could induce apoptosis in A549 cells. Furthermore, cell cycle analyses show that compound 8f increased G0/G1 A549 cells arrest in a concentration-dependent manner. The preliminary structure-activity relationships (SARs) studies indicated that mono-electron-withdrawing groups (mono-EWGs) on the phenyl ring are positive on the antitumor activity.

The cytochrome-like Copper/Sulfur/Graphite electrocatalyst (Cu-S-G) was successfully produced via a facile low temperature process with an impressive performance for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The incorporation of trace amounts of copper atoms (andlt; 4%) in the form of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) noticeably enhanced activity of Sulfur/Graphite (S-G) composite for ORR. The catalytic performance was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) methods on a rotating-disk electrode (RDE) in alkaline medium (ΔE = 0.00 to 1.20V vs. Reversible Hydrogen Electrode: RHE). The novel copper-based catalyst was shown superior efficiency compared to platinum base electrocatalyst (Pt0.2/C0.8). The number of electrons consumed (n) per O2 in Cu-S-G was found to vary between 3.87 and 3.90 at a wide range of low overpotentials, which indicates an efficient four-electron pathway from O2 to H2O. Also, the estimated Tafel slopes demonstrate insignificant amount of copper oxide in the surface of electrocatalyst. The Cu-S-G exhibits superior electroactivity durability (ΔE1/2 = -21 mV after 10,000 cycles). We believe that the rather high ORR activity (n ≈ 4 and EOnset=1.06 V vs. RHE) is governed by a unique bio-inspired structure and novel active sites formed upon the anchoring of copper atoms onto the S-G structure.

The new nitroisofalvones 2a-k were synthesized via nitration of the corresponding isoflavones 1a-f using NH4NO3/TFAA in acetonitrile. The aminoisoflavones 3a-g, also new, were produced by selective reduction of the corresponding nitroisoflavones with SnCl2.2H2O. The nitro- and aminoisoflavones, tested in vitro concerning their effects on the proliferation of endothelial cells showed modest activities. All the new products are fully characterized and the nitro compounds analyzed thoroughly by NMR to allow complete assignment of the proton and carbon resonance and to establish the orientation of nitration.

Published: February 2022

The behaviour of liquid mixture of 2-Bromoanisole, 1-Butanol and n-Hexane as a function of temperature and composition has been investigated by measuring ultrasonic velocity in conjunction with density and viscosity at 303K, 308K and 318K for frequency 2 MHz using ultrasonic interferometer. With the help of the measured values ultrasonic velocity (u), viscosity (η) and density (ρ), the acoustical parameters like acoustic impedance, adiabatic compressibility, free length, free volume and internal pressure have been calculated. In order to know the molecular interaction between the components in the ternary liquid mixture, nature and strength of molecular interaction in the components of the ternary mixture, the actual values of acoustical parameters were computed in to their excess properties. Excess ultrasonic velocity (UE), excess acoustic impedance (ZE), excess intermolecular free length (LEf) excess adiabatic compressibility (βE), excess free volume (VfE) and excess internal pressure have been calculated for the ternary liquid mixtures containing 2-bromoanisole, 1-butanol in n-hexane at various temperatures 303K, 308K and 313K at fixed frequency 2MHz, for different concentrations ranges from 0.001M to 0.01M and ﬁtted to the Redlich-Kister polynomial equation. The computed excess values of excess ultrasonic velocity, excess acoustic impedance, excess intermolecular free length, excess adiabatic compressibility, excess free volume and excess internal pressure were plotted against the concentration of ternary liquid of the mixture at different temperatures 303K, 308K and 313K at a fixed frequency of 2MHz. A good agreement has been found between the experimental and calculated values of the ultrasonic velocity. The strength and the nature of the interactions between like and unlike molecules have been discussed in terms of dipole-dipole, dipole-induced dipole, and induced dipole-induced dipole interaction through hydrogen bonding. The present study aims to evolve the impact of ultrasonic sound over the molecular interaction of ternary liquid mixture consisting of 2-bromoanisole, 1-butanol in n-hexane mixture at different temperature 303K, 308K and 313K.

Understanding and controlling the processes occurring at electrode/electrolyte interface are very important in optimizing energy conversion devices. Cyclic voltammetry is a very sophisticated and accurate electroanalytical method enables us to explore the mechanism of such electrode reactions. In this work, electrochemical experiments using cyclic voltammetry were performed in aqueous KCl solution containing potassium ferricyanide, K3[Fe(CN)6] at a glassy carbon disc working electrode and the mechanism of the reactions is highlighted. The CV measurements shows that the ferricyanide [Fe(CN)6]3− reduction to ferrocyanide [Fe(CN)6]4− and the reverse oxidation process follows an outer sphere electrode reaction mechanism. Voltammetry analysis further indicates that the reaction is reversible and diffusion controlled one electron transfer electrochemical process. The peak currents due to [Fe(CN)6]4− oxidation and the peak current due to [Fe(CN)6]3− reduction increase with increase of concentration and scan rate increase. The diffusion co-efficient was determined by applying Randles-Sevcik equation. The report could be helpful for university students to understand the basics of electron transfer in redox processes and cyclic voltammetry.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of pre- operative neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on postoperative quadriceps muscle strength, functional status, and quality of life in patients with fast-track total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

This prospective study was carried out at Orthopedics department from September 2017 to October 2018. A total of 40 patients were randomly divided into NMES (n=20) and control group (n=20). Patients in NMES group were asked to use home NMES device daily for 20 minutes, 5 times a day, for 6 weeks before surgery. The control group was placed on the 6-week waiting list for surgery without any preoperative intervention. Standard home exercise program was applied to both groups after discharge. The patients were evaluated baseline, preoperatively (6-weeks after baseline) and at the 4th and 12th weeks after surgery. Knee range of motion, quadriceps muscle strength, patient-reported (WOMAC and KOOS) and performance-based activity limitation (30-second chair-stand test, 40-meter fast-paced walk test, and stair-climb test) were evaluated at each visit.

Preoperative NMES resulted in significant improve- ment in KOOS-function in daily living and WOMAC total score (p≤0.05) but had a non-significant trend toward to improve quadriceps muscle strength, KOOS-pain and -other symptoms, performance- based activity limitation, and quality of life scores (p>0.05). However, there was no significant difference between groups in the postoperative period (p>0.05).

NMES has beneficial effects in terms of patient- reported and performance-based physical functions and quality of life in preoperative period ; however, it does not provide any additional benefit for post- operative outcomes in patients with fast-track TKA.
