description: Cities across the globe have been growing both horizontally and vertically to accommodate growing populations within limited land. Despite extensive research on urban sprawl, contemporary research on vertical urban development remains limited. This paper presents an exploratory review of the literature on vertical urban growth (VUG) based on academic papers published over the past three decades. Three thematic areas were identified, including approaches defining and extracting VUG, the identification of factors driving VUG, as well as models simulating and predicting VUG. Our results show that a diverse range of methods exist in defining and measuring VUG, ranging from the use of building heights or building floors to urban intensity, floor-to-area ratio, and urban functional complexity. While some research used building information data over time to define VUG, the most commonly used data derives from remote sense imagery, including Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery and Lidar data. Recent research uses Google Earth and OpenStreetMap as source data to extract building heights or number of building floors. On the other hand, only limited work is available in understanding and modeling the driving factors that lead to vertical urban growth. Cellular automata (CA) modeling, which has been commonly used to simulate horizontal urban expansion over the past four decades, are beginning to be used to simulate VUG and generate future growth scenarios. We argue that future research in this field should address the challenges in modeling vertical urban growth, particularly reliable data to parameterization, the configuration and validation of the 3D urban models, and the simulation of VUG under different scenarios and driving factors. We also call for more research to simulate the processes of urban demolition and shrinkage in the vertical dimensions, as well as the underground expansion in our urban space.

description: The atom optics of Bose-Einstein condensates containing a vortex of circulation one is discussed. We first analyze in detail the reflection of such a condensate falling on an atomic mirror. In a second part, we consider a rotating condensate in the case of attractive interactions. We show that for sufficiently large nonlinearity the rotational symmetry of the rotating condensate is broken.

description: Today the idea that climate change requires a gradual and moderate response no longer commands consensus support among economists. A more demanding approach is gaining ground. This paper traces the changes in economic thinking concerning the case for action on climate change, through an analysis of the work of three eminent economists: William Nordhaus, Nicholas Stern and Ross Garnaut. It shows how from Nordhaus to Stern to Garnaut the case for more urgent and radical mitigation has been strengthened as temperature targets have been lowered and business-as-usual emissions projections raised. It also shows that Stern and especially Nordhaus, who has been working on this subject the longest, have changed their own views in favour of more urgent and radical mitigation. Some disagreements remain between these three economists, and some other economists have more moderate views, but the old consensus has been shattered.

description: In the remote sensing field, weed detection algorithms usually use the segmentation process to classify weeds in an image. In this context, the results are subject to user-defined parameters (e.g. scale) and predefined assumptions (e.g. uniform distribution of crop), limiting the usefulness of results. This paper presents a new approach based on Vector Agents (VAs) to extract weeds, more specifically boneseed, from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imagery. VAs are objects that can construct their own geometry and interact spatially with other VAs in the context of Geographic Automata Systems (GAS). The dynamic structure of VAs allows them to directly address real-world objects in an image, such as weeds. In this case, the method can automatically draw the boundary of the real world objects without setting any user-defined parameters, e.g. scale or compactness. We test the proposed model against the ones conventionally used in weed detection, e.g. mean shift and multiresolution. The preliminary results show 8% and 30% improvement in the correctness value of the VA model compared to the mean shift and multiresolution methods, respectively.
Thermoelectric effects of an Aharonov-Bohm interferometer with an embedded quantum dot in the Kondo regime

Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)

description: Thermoelectric effects are studied in an Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interferometer with an embedded quantum dot in the Kondo regime. The AB flux-dependent transmission probability has an asymmetrical shape arising from the Fano interference between the direct tunneling path and the Kondo-resonant tunneling path through a quantum dot. The sign and magnitude of thermopower can be modulated by the AB flux and the direct tunneling amplitude. In addition, the thermopower is anomalously enhanced by the Kondo correlation in the quantum dot near the Kondo temperature ($T_K$). The Kondo correlation in the quantum dot also leads to crossover behavior in diagonal transport coefficients as a function of temperature. The amplitude of an AB oscillation in electric and thermal conductances is small at temperatures far above $T_K$, but becomes enhanced as the system is cooled below $T_K$. The AB oscillation is strong in the thermopower and Lorenz number within the crossover region near the Kondo temperature.

description: In common with other archipelagic countries, Indonesia is vulnerable to such impacts of climate change as prolonged droughts, increased frequency in extreme weather events, and heavy rainfall resulting in floods. These threats, coupled with the fact that Indonesia has been declared one of the three biggest greenhouse gases emitters, has induced the Indonesian government to place a high priority on climate change issues. In particular, the government considers its fiscal policy to be a key instrument in both mitigating against and adapting to climate change. This paper reviews Indonesia’s implementation of green fiscal policies and discusses recent Indonesian fiscal policy responses to its commitment to reduce its emissions by 2020. In general, one can conclude that although progress has been made in the area of green fiscal policy in Indonesia, a more vigorous approach is needed to protect Indonesia’s environment and to cope with the new challenges of controlling CO2 emission in the era of climate change.

description: We search for transient variations of the fine structure constant using data from a European network of fiber-linked optical atomic clocks. By searching for coherent variations in the recorded clock frequency comparisons across the network, we significantly improve the constraints on transient variations of the fine structure constant. For example, we constrain the variation in alpha to <5*10^-17 for transients of duration 10^3 s. This analysis also presents a possibility to search for dark matter, the mysterious substance hypothesised to explain galaxy dynamics and other astrophysical phenomena that is thought to dominate the matter density of the universe. At the current sensitivity level, we find no evidence for dark matter in the form of topological defects (or, more generally, any macroscopic objects), and we thus place constraints on certain potential couplings between the dark matter and standard model particles, substantially improving upon the existing constraints, particularly for large (>~10^4 km) objects.

description: We present a simple simulation model of the potential effects of a possible gene drive control on invasive wasps in the upper South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand. The aim of the model is to explore the potential spatial dynamics of such a control, in particular, interactions between the distribution of available favourable habitat for wasps, and estimates of their spatial dispersal characteristics. Preliminary results suggest that even in the absence of an evolutionary response from targetted wasps eradication is unlikely, and that the main determinant of long term abun-dance of genetically modi ed strains in the wild population are overall population growth rates. However, the spatial characteristics of wasp behaviour may have important implications for local eradications and their consequent impact on native wildlife populations.

description: We have imaged the X-ray binary SS433 with unprecedented Fourier-plane coverage at 6cm using simultaneously the VLBA, MERLIN, and the VLA, and also at 20cm with the VLBA. At both wavelengths we have securely detected smooth, low-surface brightness emission having the appearance of a `ruff' or collar attached perpendicularly to the well-studied knotty jets in this system, extending over at least a few hundred AU. We interpret this smooth emission as a wind-like outflow from the binary, and discuss its implications for the present evolutionary stage of this system.

description: We prove that the border rank of the Kronecker square of the little Coppersmith-Winograd tensor $T_{cw,q}$ is the square of its border rank for $q > 2$ and that the border rank of its Kronecker cube is the cube of its border rank for $q > 4$. This answers questions raised implicitly in [Coppersmith-Winograd, 1990] and explicitly in [Bläser, 2013] and rules out the possibility of proving new upper bounds on the exponent of matrix multiplication using the square or cube of a little Coppersmith-Winograd tensor in this range. In the positive direction, we enlarge the list of explicit tensors potentially useful for Strassen's laser method, introducing a skew-symmetric version of the Coppersmith-Winograd tensor, $T_{skewcw,q}$. For $q = 2$, the Kronecker square of this tensor coincides with the $3\times 3$ determinant polynomial, $\det_3 \in \mathbb{C}^9\otimes \mathbb{C}^9\otimes \mathbb{C}^9$, regarded as a tensor. We show that this tensor could potentially be used to show that the exponent of matrix multiplication is two. We determine new upper bounds for the (Waring) rank and the (Waring) border rank of $\det_3$, exhibiting a strict submultiplicative behaviour for $T_{skewcw,2}$ which is promising for the laser method. We establish general results regarding border ranks of Kronecker powers of tensors, and make a detailed study of Kronecker squares of tensors in $\mathbb{C}^3\otimes \mathbb{C}^3\otimes \mathbb{C}^3$.

description: Panel data of rape input and output in 14 rape production provinces of China during 2006-2013 were measured by data envelopment analysis (DEA). According to the measurement results, average scores of technology efficiency in Henan, Hunan, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Zhejiang and Chongqing were all 1, while average scores of Anhui, Qinghai, Yunnan, Gansu and Shaanxi were lower, which ranked latter in the 14 provinces. To further study the reason for lower pure technology efficiency in the 5 provinces, relaxation amount and relaxation degree of factor input in the year when its pure technology efficiency was not 1 were collected, thereby obtaining surplus situation of factor input in rape production of the 5 provinces. Moreover, the phenomenon that redundancy degree of farm manure surpassed that of chemical fertilizer, and material cost per mu was excess largely in the 5 provinces was explained, and some suggestions were proposed.

description: The concepts of the thermal neutron facility have been considerably modified since they were first put forth in 1971. The move has been toward simplification. This report describes the basic vacuum tank structure, its surrounding steel shielding and the concrete structure. The vacuum tank contains a target, moderator and reflector and has ports for the extraction of thermal neutron beams. It also has capabilities for producing mesons and for irradiation of targets in the primary proton beam. The system has been designed with flexibility for modification to meet possible future demands for irradiation facilities, radiography, or pulsed operation. The targets can be easily changed, and it is planned to do this to meet the heat transfer problems as they arise on going to higher beam currents. Feasibility studies for Pb-Bi and Pb targets have been carried out. The Pb target was chosen because of safety considerations and simpler design.

description: According to actual features of public goods for disaster reduction in agriculture, an evaluation indicator system of farmers’ satisfaction with the supply of public goods for disaster reduction in agriculture composed of five first-grade indicators containing 18 second-grade indicators was established firstly, and then a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model of farmers’ satisfaction was set up. Finally, farmers’ satisfaction with the supply of public goods for disaster reduction in agriculture in two counties and a district of Hubei Province was evaluated by the model. The results show that farmers are satisfied with the supply of public goods for disaster reduction in agriculture on the whole, but farmers’ satisfaction with openness about funds for disaster reduction, supply structure of public goods, work attitude and work efficiency is at a general level. Some suggestions about the four aspects were proposed, such as improving supervisory mechanisms to increase funding transparency, making information channels unblocked to improve the supply efficiency of public goods for disaster reduction, and improving the quality of government workers to increase their work efficiency.

description: Magnetization measurements in La{2-x}Sr{x}CuO{4} crystals indicate vortex order-disorder transition manifested by a sharp kink in the second magnetization peak. The transition field exhibits unique temperature dependence, namely a strong decrease with temperature in the entire measured range. This behavior rules out the conventional interpretation of a disorder-driven transition into an entangled vortex solid phase. It is shown that the transition in La{2-x}Sr{x}CuO{4} is driven by both thermally- and disorder-induced fluctuations, resulting in a pinned liquid state. We conclude that vortex solid-liquid, solid-solid and solid to pinned-liquid transitions are different manifestations of the same thermodynamic order-disorder transition, distinguished by the relative contributions of thermal and disorder-induced fluctuations.

description: Cities across the globe have been growing both horizontally and vertically to accommodate growing populations within limited land. Despite extensive research on urban sprawl, contemporary research on vertical urban development remains limited. This paper presents an exploratory review of the literature on vertical urban growth (VUG) based on academic papers published over the past three decades. Three thematic areas were identified, including approaches defining and extracting VUG, the identification of factors driving VUG, as well as models simulating and predicting VUG. Our results show that a diverse range of methods exist in defining and measuring VUG, ranging from the use of building heights or building floors to urban intensity, floor-to-area ratio, and urban functional complexity. While some research used building information data over time to define VUG, the most commonly used data derives from remote sense imagery, including Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery and Lidar data. Recent research uses Google Earth and OpenStreetMap as source data to extract building heights or number of building floors. On the other hand, only limited work is available in understanding and modeling the driving factors that lead to vertical urban growth. Cellular automata (CA) modeling, which has been commonly used to simulate horizontal urban expansion over the past four decades, are beginning to be used to simulate VUG and generate future growth scenarios. We argue that future research in this field should address the challenges in modeling vertical urban growth, particularly reliable data to parameterization, the configuration and validation of the 3D urban models, and the simulation of VUG under different scenarios and driving factors. We also call for more research to simulate the processes of urban demolition and shrinkage in the vertical dimensions, as well as the underground expansion in our urban space.
Fast explicit dynamics finite element algorithm for transient heat transfer

Subjects: subject: Computational Engineering, Finance, and Science (cs.CE)

description: This paper presents a novel methodology for fast simulation and analysis of transient heat transfer. The proposed methodology is suitable for real-time applications owing to (i) establishing the solution method from the viewpoint of computationally efficient explicit dynamics, (ii) proposing an element-level thermal load computation to eliminate the need for assembling global thermal stiffness, leading to (iii) an explicit formulation of nodal temperature computation to eliminate the need for iterations anywhere in the algorithm, (iv) pre-computing the constant matrices and simulation parameters to facilitate online calculation, and (v) utilising computationally efficient finite elements to efficiently obtain thermal responses in the spatial domain, all of which lead to a significant reduction in computation time for fast run-time simulation. The proposed fast explicit dynamics finite element algorithm (FED-FEM) employs nonlinear thermal material properties, such as temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity, and nonlinear thermal boundary conditions, such as heat convection and radiation, to account for nonlinear characteristics of transient heat transfer. Simulations and comparison analyses demonstrate that not only can the proposed methodology handle isotropic, orthotropic, anisotropic and temperature-dependent thermal properties but also satisfy the standard patch tests and achieve good agreement with those of the commercial finite element analysis packages for numerical accuracy, for 3-D heat conduction, convection, radiation, and thermal gradient concentration problems. Furthermore, the proposed FED-FEM algorithm is computationally efficient and only consumes a small computation time, capable of achieving real-time computational performance, leading to a novel methodology suitable for real-time simulation and analysis of transient heat transfer.

description: In the remote sensing field, weed detection algorithms usually use the segmentation process to classify weeds in an image. In this context, the results are subject to user-defined parameters (e.g. scale) and predefined assumptions (e.g. uniform distribution of crop), limiting the usefulness of results. This paper presents a new approach based on Vector Agents (VAs) to extract weeds, more specifically boneseed, from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imagery. VAs are objects that can construct their own geometry and interact spatially with other VAs in the context of Geographic Automata Systems (GAS). The dynamic structure of VAs allows them to directly address real-world objects in an image, such as weeds. In this case, the method can automatically draw the boundary of the real world objects without setting any user-defined parameters, e.g. scale or compactness. We test the proposed model against the ones conventionally used in weed detection, e.g. mean shift and multiresolution. The preliminary results show 8% and 30% improvement in the correctness value of the VA model compared to the mean shift and multiresolution methods, respectively.

description: The installed amount of renewable energy has expanded massively in recent years. Wave energy, with its high capacity factors has great potential to complement established sources of solar and wind energy. This study explores the problem of optimising the layout of advanced, three-tether wave energy converters in a size-constrained farm in a numerically modelled ocean environment. Simulating and computing the complicated hydrodynamic interactions in wave farms can be computationally costly, which limits optimisation methods to have just a few thousand evaluations. For dealing with this expensive optimisation problem, an adaptive neuro-surrogate optimisation (ANSO) method is proposed that consists of a surrogate Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) model trained with a very limited number of observations. This model is coupled with a fast meta-heuristic optimiser for adjusting the model's hyper-parameters. The trained model is applied using a greedy local search with a backtracking optimisation strategy. For evaluating the performance of the proposed approach, some of the more popular and successful Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are compared in four real wave scenarios (Sydney, Perth, Adelaide and Tasmania). Experimental results show that the adaptive neuro model is competitive with other optimisation methods in terms of total harnessed power output and faster in terms of total computational costs.

subject: FOS: Environmental engineering

description: Warning triggers are a means to answer the question: who should be warned to take a protective action in a disaster and when? A warning trigger is comprised of a targetpopulation, a recommended protective action, and an environmental condition – where the target population is warned to take the action if the condition occurs. While triggers have been studied across different hazards for specific study areas, they have not been exploredfrom a general geometric perspective. The goal of this study is to apply geosimulation to compare the efficacy of two geometric approaches to defining warning triggers usingassumptions regarding threat dynamics, decision making, and public response. The results reveal strengths and weaknesses of each approach that may help inform decision makers on which trigger type would be most effective in a given threat scenario.

description: Real-time analysis of bio-heat transfer is very beneficial in improving clinical outcomes of hyperthermia and thermal ablative treatments but challenging to achieve due to large computational costs. This paper presents a fast numerical algorithm well suited for real-time solutions of bio-heat transfer, and it achieves real-time computation via the (i) computationally efficient explicit dynamics in the temporal domain, (ii) element-level thermal load computation, (iii) computationally efficient finite elements, (iv) explicit formulation for unknown nodal temperature, and (v) pre-computation of constant simulation matrices and parameters, all of which lead to a significant reduction in computation time for fast run-time computation. The proposed methodology considers temperature-dependent thermal properties for nonlinear characteristics of bio-heat transfer in soft tissue. Utilising a parallel execution, the proposed method achieves computation time reduction of 107.71 and 274.57 times compared to those of with and without parallelisation of the commercial finite element codes if temperature-dependent thermal properties are considered, and 303.07 and 772.58 times if temperature-independent thermal properties are considered, far exceeding the computational performance of the commercial finite element codes, presenting great potential in real-time predictive analysis of tissue temperature for planning, optimisation and evaluation of thermo-therapeutic treatments.

description: With the improvement of people's living standards, people have placed higher demands on both quantity and quality of agricultural products. However, there are many problems in China's agricultural product logistics, such as long distance between processing, preservation, cold storage, packaging base and agricultural production base, great losses of agricultural products in the process of transportation and handling from production base, poor road conditions in rural areas, inadequate special vehicles, refrigerated trucks and sealed vans, low electronic information utilization rate during agricultural logistics transaction, and lack of agricultural product access mechanism in the agricultural wholesale market. Based on these problems, we bring forward the measures to improve the current agricultural product logistics.

description: Public Transit (PT) networks – lines, stops and even timetables remain stable for many years. Behavioral changes of travelers', in contrast, follow dynamics of urban land-uses in space and in time, habits and introduction of new modes, e.g. ride-hailing or bike sharing and e-scooters. Travelers without access to private cars become "captives" of PT, while the rest use the car almost exclusively. This is the essence of the “PT is for commuters” hypothesis. We analyze Israeli PT smartcard boarding records collected in November 2017 and November 2018 with 4 sequential weeks each month and reveal that only half of the Israeli PT users are commuters or frequent users. The other half use PT infrequently and seem flexible in their mode choice. We discuss possible consequences of this phenomenon on the way to Mobility as a Service of the future.

description: Polaritons formed by the coupling of light and material excitations such as plasmons, phonons, or excitons enable light-matter interactions at the nanoscale beyond what is currently possible with conventional optics. Recently, significant interest has been attracted by polaritons in van der Waals materials, which could lead to applications in sensing, integrated photonic circuits and detectors. However, novel techniques are required to control the propagation of polaritons at the nanoscale and to implement the first practical devices. Here we report the experimental realization of polariton refractive and meta-optics in the mid-infrared by exploiting the properties of low-loss phonon polaritons in isotopically pure hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), which allow it to interact with the surrounding dielectric environment comprising the low-loss phase change material, Ge$_3$Sb$_2$Te$_6$ (GST). We demonstrate waveguides which confine polaritons in a 1D geometry, and refractive optical elements such as lenses and prisms for phonon polaritons in hBN, which we characterize using scanning near field optical microscopy. Furthermore, we demonstrate metalenses, which allow for polariton wavefront engineering and sub-wavelength focusing. Our method, due to its sub-diffraction and planar nature, will enable the realization of programmable miniaturized integrated optoelectronic devices, and will lay the foundation for on-demand biosensors.
