Impact of Climate Change and Land Use on Urban Flooding: Insights from Hydrological Modelling
Creators: name: Murali K. V and Srinivasan K
Publisher: name: The Science world a Monthly e magazine
Year: 2024

description: Urban flooding is a rising concern globally due to climate change, urbanization, and anthropogenic activities. Rising temperatures and altered rainfall and temperature patterns have led to increased flood frequency and intensity. In India, 12% of the land area and over 5161 urban local bodies are flood-prone, with annual losses exceeding $3 billion. Urbanization exacerbates flooding by increasing impervious surfaces, accelerating runoff, and overwhelming drainage systems. The loss of green spaces and poor waste management further contribute to waterlogging and drainage blockage. Climate change intensifies these challenges by increasing the severity of extreme weather events, while urban heat islands amplify rainfall. Hydrological modeling, including 1D, 2D, and coupled 1D-2D models, is crucial for simulating flood behavior. These models predict water levels, flood depths, and flow velocities using equations based on physical laws. Coupled 1D-2D models provide a balanced approach for large floodplains, offering both computational efficiency and detailed flow dynamics. The study underscores the need for advanced modeling and climate adaptation strategies to mitigate urban flood risks effectively.

description: There are numerous ways in which people choose their occupation. Some choose a career by simply asking their parents or friends for their opinion on what would be a good occupation. Others may talk to people in the occupation, or go to the library to gather information about occupations that are of interest. Because of the importance of the career choice to the individual's well-being and productivity in a career, some try a more organized approach. A career counselor, who can utilize tests to aid in the search process as well as provide information on occupations, can be a valuable resource.

description: Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID) are ubiquitous in several manufacturing, oil and gas enterprises for representing engineering schematics and equipment layout. There is an urgent need to extract and digitize information from P&IDs without the cost of annotating a varying set of symbols for each new use case. A robust one-shot learning approach for symbol recognition i.e., localization followed by classification, would therefore go a long way towards this goal. Our method works by sampling pixels sequentially along the different contour boundaries in the image. These sampled points form paths which are used in the prototypical line diagram to construct a graph that captures the structure of the contours. Subsequently, the prototypical graphs are fed into a Dynamic Graph Convolutional Neural Network (DGCNN) which is trained to classify graphs into one of the given symbol classes. Further, we append embeddings from a Resnet-34 network which is trained on symbol images containing sampled points to make the classification network more robust. Since, many symbols in P&ID are structurally very similar to each other, we utilize Arcface loss during DGCNN training which helps in maximizing symbol class separability by producing highly discriminative embeddings. The images consist of components attached on the pipeline (straight line). The sampled points segregated around the symbol regions are used for the classification task. The proposed pipeline, named OSSR-PID, is fast and gives outstanding performance for recognition of symbols on a synthetic dataset of 100 P&ID diagrams. We also compare our method against prior-work on a real-world private dataset of 12 P&ID sheets and obtain comparable/superior results. Remarkably, it is able to achieve such excellent performance using only one prototypical example per symbol.

description: Social and employment changes have occurred in the United States over the past twenty years that have had a drastic impact on the "traditional" American family. Americans now live in an era of inflation and economic change in which a second family income is often a necessity just to maintain.an adequate standard of living. Mothers' are no longer waiting until their youngest child enters elementary school to enter or re-enter the labor force. By 1985, 57% of mothers' of children under the age of six were in the labor force, whereas in 1950, only 12% were employed (Department of Labor, 1988).

title: A Profile of Child Care Services Offered at Land-Grant Institutions
Creators: name: Bissonette, Mary E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1992

description: A survey was created and distributed to land-grant institutions to determine the availability and description of child care services at those institutions. Participants were 70 directors of child care centers or central administrators at land-grant institutions. Thirty-nine questions provided general demographic information, general information regarding child care programs at each institution, and specific information regarding administrative concerns and quality issues in child care (based on the components of quality from the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs, 1984) in both full- and half-day programs. The results yielded information that all of us in a university setting may find compelling. Most institutions are experiencing increased child care needs. The least serviced children are in the infant and after-school age groups. Very little child care is available at night and on weekends. Most child care programs are subsidized by the institution. Additionally, much of the ongoing maintenance is provided by the institution or individual college or department. Morale among staff is high. Finally, the least amount of support for child care programs came from boards of trustees, central administration, and some academic deans and department heads. Implications for land-grant institutions as we approach the 21st century are discussed.
Laws of crack motion and phase-field models of fracture

description: Recently proposed phase-field models offer self-consistent descriptions of brittle fracture. Here, we analyze these theories in the quasistatic regime of crack propagation. We show how to derive the laws of crack motion either by using solvability conditions in a perturbative treatment for slight departure from the Griffith threshold, or by generalizing the Eshelby tensor to phase-field models. The analysis provides a simple physical interpretation of the second component of the classic Eshelby integral in the limit of vanishing crack propagation velocity: it gives the elastic torque on the crack tip that is needed to balance the Herring torque arising from the anisotropic interface energy. This force balance condition reduces in this limit to the principle of local symmetry in isotropic media and to the principle of maximum energy release rate for smooth curvilinear cracks in anisotropic media. It can also be interpreted physically in this limit based on energetic considerations in the traditional framework of continuum fracture mechanics, in support of its general validity for real systems beyond the scope of phase-field models. Analytical predictions of crack paths in anisotropic media are validated by numerical simulations. Simulations also show that these predictions hold even if the phase-field dynamics is modified to make the failure process irreversible. In addition, the role of dissipative forces on the process zone scale as well as the extension of the results to motion of planar cracks under pure antiplane shear are discussed.

description: Purpose: Orthorexia nervosa involves restricting diet based on quality rather than quantity. Although orthorexia is well reported in many at-risk populations, limited data addresses its presence in individuals with eating disorder history (EDs) or athletes. We aimed to identify the presence and potential drivers of orthorexia in adults with EDs and endurance athletes, compared to control subjects. Methods: Participants ≥ 18y included: people with a diagnosed eating disorder (ED as per DSM-5); endurance athletes (training/competing ≥ 5 h/week); or control subjects. Participants (n = 197) completed an online survey assessing orthorexia (eating habits questionnaire, EHQ), eating motivations (TEMS-B) and compulsive exercise (CET). Results: ED had the highest orthorexia symptom severity (92.0 ± 3.02, n = 32), followed by athletes (76.2 ± 2.74, n = 54) and controls (71.0 ± 1.80, n = 111) (F (2) = 18.2, p < 0.001). A strong positive correlation existed between weight control motives and higher orthorexia symptom severity (r = 0.54, 95% CI [1.35, 2.36], p < 0.001), while a weak negative association existed between Hunger and Pleasure motives and higher orthorexia symptom severity (r = 0.23, 95% CI [− 2.24, − 0.34], p = 0.008; r = 0.26, 95% CI [− 2.11, − 0.47], p = 0.002, respectively). A moderate positive relationship was found between CET and orthorexia symptom severity (95% CI [1.52, 3.12], p < 0.001). Conclusion: Adults with ED history and endurance athletes have greater orthorexia symptom severity compared to control. Clinicians working with at-risk populations should screen patients and be aware of red-flags of orthorexic traits, desire to control weight, and compulsive exercise behavior.

description: Despite the continuing importance of ground-based parallax measurements, few active programs remain. Because new members of the solar neighborhood tend towards later spectral types, infrared parallax programs are particularly desirable. Consequently, the astrometric quality of the new infrared camera, FanCam, developed by the Virginia Astronomical Instrumentation Laboratory (VAIL) for the 31-in (0.8-m) Tinsley reflector at Fan Mountain Observatory was assessed using 68 J-band exposures of an open cluster, NGC 2420, over a range of hour angles during 2005. Positions of 16 astrometric evaluation stars were measured and the repeatability of those positions was evaluated using the mean error in a single observation of unit weight. Overall, a precision of 1.3 +/- 0.7 microns in x (RA) and 1.3 +/- 0.8 microns in y (Dec) was attained, which corresponds to 0.04" +/- 0.02" in each axis. Although greater precision is expected from CCDs in the visual and near-infrared, this instrument can achieve precision similar to that of the ESO NTT infrared parallax program. Therefore, measuring parallaxes in the infrared would be feasible using this equipment. If initiated, such a program could provide essential distances for brown dwarfs and very low mass stars that would contribute significantly to the solar neighborhood census.

description: We review two algorithmic advances that bring us closer to reliable quantum simulations of model systems in high energy physics and beyond on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. The first method is the dimensional expressivity analysis of quantum circuits, which allows for constructing minimal but maximally expressive quantum circuits. The second method is an efficient mitigation of readout errors on quantum devices. Both methods can lead to significant improvements in quantum simulations, e.g., when variational quantum eigensolvers are used.

description: On the basis of tight-binding lattice model, the edge states of monolayer and bilayer graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with different edge terminations are studied. The effects of edge-hopping modulation, spin-orbital coupling (SOC), and bias voltage on bilayer GNRs are discussed. We observe the following: (i) Some new extra edge states can be created by edge-hopping modulation for monolayer GNRs. (ii) Intralayer Rashba SOC plays a role in depressing the band energy gap $E_g$ opened by intrinsic SOC for both monolayer and bilayer GNRs. An almost linear dependent relation, i.e., $E_g\sim λ_R$, is found. (iii) Although the bias voltage favors a bulk energy gap for bilayer graphene without intrinsic SOC, it tends to reduce the gap induced by intrinsic SOC. (iv) The topological phase of the quantum spin Hall effect can be destroyed completely by interlayer Rashba SOC for bilayer GNRs.

MODERNIZATION, ETHNICITY, AND NATIONALISM: DEVELOPING A UNIFYING NATIONAL IDENTITY IN MULTICULTURAL COUNTRIES FORMERLY SUBJUGATED TO COLONIALISM
Creators: name: O'Quinn, Robert B.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation examines the role of increases in rates of urbanization, adult literacy, and media usage in the development of a unifying national identity in multicultural countries formerly subjugated to colonialism. More than one hundred of the one hundred seventy five countries ranked by the United Nations 2006 Human Development Report were subjugated to colonialism and are multicultural with populations consisting of more than one ethnic group. The ethnic groups that populate multicultural countries previously subjected to colonialism were often united under coercion. Thus, if opposing collective consciousnesses react to each other vigorously, the potential for conflict in these nation-states impacts the potential for long term sustainable development. Emile Durkheim and Daniel Lerner theorized that the modernization process could bring about pluralism in diverse social environments. Utilizing bivariate and multiple regression analysis, this dissertation combines the modernization approaches of Durkheim and Lerner with data gathered via the fourth wave of the World Values Survey to gauge the degree to which the modernization process has impacted social attitudes and national identity in these countries. The study finds that (1) the explanatory power of the modernization process to explain variations in social change and national identity is very weak; (2) increases in the modernization variables education level, size of town, and frequency following politics in the news were related to respondents reporting belonging to broader geographical areas ("the world" rather than "my nation" or "my local area"); and (3) after controlling for colonial subjugation and multicultural status, the modernization process has a stronger influence in countries that are not multicultural.

description: Networks of identical, symmetrically coupled oscillators can spontaneously split into synchronized and desynchronized sub-populations. Such chimera states were discovered in 2002, but are not well understood theoretically. Here we obtain the first exact results about the stability, dynamics, and bifurcations of chimera states by analyzing a minimal model consisting of two interacting populations of oscillators. Along with a completely synchronous state, the system displays stable chimeras, breathing chimeras, and saddle-node, Hopf and homoclinic bifurcations of chimeras.

description: The paper examines the issues of predicting the 100-hour long-term strength of sheets and rods made of Î±-, pseudo Î±- and Î±+Î²-titanium alloys at temperatures of 200-600Â°C. Based on a generalization of literature data, the temperature dependences of the long-term strength of annealed semi-finished products from titanium alloys of different classes are analyzed. A comparison was made of the limits of long-term and short-term strength at operating temperatures. Models have been developed to theoretically substantiate the level of 100-hour long-term strength of titanium alloys in the temperature range up to 500-550Â°C based on the results of short-term mechanical tensile tests.
Convective heat transfer in a rotary kiln
Creators: name: Tscheng, Shong Hsiung
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Convective heat transfer in a rotary kiln was studied as a function of operating parameters. The experiments were carried out in a steel kiln of 0.19 m in diameter and 2.44 m in length. The operating parameters covered included gas flow rate, solid throughput, rotational speed, degree of solid holdup, inclination angle, particle size and temperature. To minimize radiation effects, air was used as the heating medium and maximum inlet air temperatures were limited to 650 K. Ottawa sand was used in all the runs except in the study of the effect of particle size where limestone was employed. The experiments were conducted under conditions where the bed height along the kiln was maintained constant and the bed was in the rolling mode. Both the heat transfer coefficients from the gas to the solids bed and the gas to the rotating wall were found to be significantly influenced by gas flow rate. Increasing rotation al speed increases the gas to bed heat transfer, but decreases the gas to wall heat transfer. The former effect is relatively small. The effect of degree of fill was slightly negative in the gas to solids bed heat transfer, and insignificant in the heat transfer from the gas to wall. The effects of inclination angle, solid throughput, particle size and temperature were found negligible over the range tested. One of the major findings in this study is that contrary to suggestions in the literature, the coefficients for gas to bed heat transfer are about an order of magnitude higher than those for gas to wall. The higher coefficients for gas to solids bed are attributed to two factors, the underestimation of the true area by basing coefficients on the plane chord area and the effect on the gas film resistance of the rapid particle velocity on the bed surface. The experimental data were correlated in a form suitable for design purposes, and the results compared with meager data available in the literature. A mathematical model was developed for convective heat transfer from the gas to a rolling solids bed. The model requires the knowledge of the gas to particle heat transfer coefficient and the rolling velocity of the aerated particles. The model gives a reasonable prediction of the gas to bed coefficient in a rotary kiln using values of the gas to particle coefficient taken from the literature. The required data on the surface velocity of particles was obtained in a lucite kiln of the same size. Residence time distribution of particles was also studied briefly to verify that solids were nearly in axial plug flow. A simple mathematical model of a rotary kiln heat exchanger is presented. This model predicts gas, solids and wall-temperatures in a kiln as a function of the kiln design and operating parameters using the heat transfer correlations developed in this work.

description: We apply the Thermal Field Theory methods to study the propagation of photons in a plasma layer, that is a plasma in which the electrons are confined to a two-dimensional plane sheet. We calculate the photon self-energy and determine the appropriate expression for the photon propagator in such a medium, from which the properties of the propagating modes are obtained. The formulas for the photon dispersion relations and polarization vectors are derived explicitly in some detail for some simple cases of the thermal distributions of the charged particle gas, and appropriate formulas that are applicable in more general situations are also given.

description: We consider the quenched and the averaged (or annealed) large deviation rate functions $I_q$ and $I_a$ for space-time and (the usual) space-only RWRE on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. By Jensen's inequality, $I_a\leq I_q$. In the space-time case, when $d\geq3+1$, $I_q$ and $I_a$ are known to be equal on an open set containing the typical velocity $ξ_o$. When $d=1+1$, we prove that $I_q$ and $I_a$ are equal only at $ξ_o$. Similarly, when d=2+1, we show that $I_a
description: 21 pages. In this revised version, we corrected our computation of the variance of $D(B_1)$ for $d=2+1$ (page 11 of the old version, after (2.31)). We also added details explaining precisely how the space-only case is handled, by mapping the appropriate objects to the space-time setup (see pages 14--17 in the new version).

Stochastic growth of radial clusters: weak convergence to the asymptotic profile and implications for morphogenesis

description: The asymptotic shape of randomly growing radial clusters is studied. We pose the problem in terms of the dynamics of stochastic partial differential equations. We concentrate on the properties of the realizations of the stochastic growth process and in particular on the interface fluctuations. Our goal is unveiling under which conditions the developing radial cluster asymptotically weakly converges to the concentrically propagating spherically symmetric profile or either to a symmetry breaking shape. We demonstrate that the long range correlations of the surface fluctuations obey a self-affine scaling and that scale invariance is achieved by means of the introduction of three critical exponents. These are able to characterize the large scale dynamics and to describe those regimes dominated by system size evolution. The connection of these results with mathematical morphogenetic problems is also outlined.

description: In this paper we study the complementarity spectrum of digraphs, with special attention to the problem of digraph characterization through this complementarity spectrum. That is, whether two non-isomorphic digraphs with the same number of vertices can have the same complementarity eigenvalues. The complementarity eigenvalues of matrices, also called Pareto eigenvalues, has led to the study of the complementarity spectrum of (undirected) graphs and, in particular, the characterization of undirected graphs through these eigenvalues is an open problem. We characterize the digraphs with one and two complementarity eigenvalues, and we give examples of non-isomorphic digraphs with the same complementarity spectrum.
title: Research on Repertoire Used in Vocal Recital
Creators: name: Wagoner, Drew Van
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1961

description: The selections in the recital given by the candidate can be divided into four sections. The first four songs can claim as their origin in time the early Italian school of the Baroque period. The two selections following these represent the oratorio. The aria by Haydn properly comes from the Class-ical era. The aria from Mendelssohn's oratorio is from the Romantic period, but it is referred to as Classicist-Romanticist, due to different elements of style and technique used by the composer.1 The third part of the recital is composed of art songs, taken from the German Lieder group, the first two by Schubert, the remaining two by Richard Strauss. The songs by Duparc and Lalo represent the French school. The last two songs in the candidate's recital are by contemporary composers, Jean Berger and Cyril Scott.
Fermion-mediated interactions in a dilute Bose-Einstein condensate

description: We develop a diagrammatic perturbation treatment to calculate the zero-temperature equation of state of the dilute gas mixture of a single spin component Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) and a normal Fermi gas of indistinguishable (single spin) fermion particles. We find that the mean-field description breaks down near the mechanical instability related to the phase separation phenomenon. Our analysis shows that the instability is caused by the competition of the usual short-range and fermion-mediated boson-boson interactions, which result in a boson compressibility that diverges. In the low BEC-density limit, we show that the diagrammatic analysis simplifies, we sum part of the higher order diagrams, and we discuss the effects of other higher-order contributions.

description: We describe a compact and versatile multi-frequency laser system for laser-cooling potassium atoms, by frequency doubling a fiber-optic telecom beam ($\simeq 1534$ or $1540$~nm). Low-power fiber-based telecom lasers and components generate a single beam containing the cooling and repumper half frequencies, subsequently amplified by high-power amplifier. A final free-space SHG stage generates a single beam with typically 2.5 W at quasi-resonant frequencies ($\simeq 767$ or $770$~nm) with high-quality mode and ready for laser cooling. This allowed to trap up to $4\times10^9$ $^{41}$K atoms with fast loading times (2.5 s) at sub-Doppler temperatures of 16~$μ$K. This opens promising perspectives towards versatile and transportable ultracold atom setups.
