Historic preservation

description: This thesis seeks to explore how historic preservation can contribute to the vitality of Maine's 15 year-round island communities. On one level, this means determining how existing preservation planning tools—such as tax incentives—can protect the islands' historic resources while also providing financial benefit to island residents. On a deeper level I hope to demonstrate that the island communities survive in large part because people are willing to forego certain modern conveniences in order to live in a community that has a compelling and unique sense of place. It is my argument that preserving this sense of place is largely the province of the historic preservation discipline, and is fundamentally important if the islands are to remain vital communities. The first chapter introduces the general significance of Maine's island communities and lays out the planning issues that are most likely to confront preservation efforts on the islands. The second chapter outlines the most common preservation planning tools that are available in the State of Maine and briefly describes how these tools can be applied to Maine's island communities. The chapter has been organized according to who is most likely to implement the tool: legal actions at the federal, state, and local levels; then actions available to private and non-profit entities. The remaining chapters explore how historic preservation can be implemented on three of the 15 remaining year-round island communities. These case studies are presented in geographical order, beginning from the south: Chebeague in bustling Casco Bay; Vinalhaven at the mouth of Penobscot Bay; and remote Frenchboro on the outer edge of Maine's archipelago. The discussion of each island includes a brief summary of the community's history—especially as it relates to the development of the island—and outlines the significant historic contexts and associated building types that characterize the island's built environment. A summary of the preservation planning issues unique to the community is then presented, followed by an exploration of existing historic preservation efforts and suggestions for future work. Each case study ends with a summary of recommended actions for the local community and invested third parties.

description: With over 1.3 billion people, India faces intricate challenges in addressing crime, exacerbated by a 23% police vacancy rate and evolving criminal methodologies, with cybercrimes surging by 24.4% in 2022. The backlog of over 50 million cases impedes justice delivery, leading to an overcrowded prison system. The case study explores how AI is reshaping law enforcement and judicial processes globally and in India. Despite potential, challenges to the use of AI in the justice delivery system abound. India lacks specific AI laws, posing concerns of transparency, preserving privacy, accountability and due process. The justice system's existing biases could also be perpetuated in AI decisions. This case study explores how AI is reshaping law enforcement and criminal justice procedures globally and in India, focusing on the multitude of its applications along with the challenges it poses to effective justice delivery in the country. The case study also elaborates on the challenges arising from the lack of a legal framework in India to regulate the use of AI by public entities. Finally, the case study also explores the internationally recognised framework which outlines the ethical principles to assess the use of AI in law enforcement and judicial systems.

description: Multi-field inflation with a curved scalar geometry has been found to support background trajectories that violate the slow-roll, slow-turn conditions and thus have the potential to evade the swampland constraints. In order to understand how generic this novel behaviour is and what conditions lead to it, we perform a classification of dynamical attractors of two-field inflation that are of the scaling type. Scaling solutions form a one-parameter generalization of De Sitter solutions with a constant value of the first Hubble flow parameter $ε$ and, as we argue and demonstrate, form a natural starting point for the study of non-slow-roll slow-turn behaviour. All scaling solutions can be classified as critical points of a specific dynamical system. We recover known multi-field inflationary attractors as approximate scaling solutions and classify their stability using dynamical system techniques. In particular, we discover that dynamical bifurcations play an integral role in the transition between geodesic and non-geodesic motion and discuss the ability of scaling solutions to describe realistic multi-field models. We revisit the criteria for background stability and show cases where the usual criteria found in the literature do not capture the background evolution of the system.

description: In this paper, first we consider the problem of finding the minimum number of floodlights that can illuminate the interior of an orthogonal polygon when the range of illumination is restricted to 60°. Then we study this problem for the pseudo-triangles. In general, we want to guard an environment with cameras in order to ensure that every point in the environment is seen from at least one camera. We intend to minimize the total number of cameras required and also the cameras can see a limited range. This problem is answered before for some range of visions but there was only a conjecture for 60°-cameras [6]. We prove the correctness of this conjecture for the orthogonal polygons and the pseudo-triangles.

description: This thesis aims to explore the questions of what the successful cases of preservation-oriented son et lumiere are like and how the future application of son et lumiere can be further improved to benefit the heritage sites in China. These questions are primarily unfolded by three case studies in China: Son et lumiere at Tulou (Eryilou), Fujian; Son et lumiere at City Wall in Laomendong Historic District, Nanjing; Son et lumiere at the Ruins of St. Paul’s, Macao (2018 Macao Light Festival). The relative successes and weaknesses of each these son et lumiere cases in China are identified, evaluated, compared and analyzed according to the on-site research and the criteria established based on the study of the history of son et lumiere, case studies, and some general investigation of other on-going son et lumiere cases by far in China.

With the development of nocturnal tourism, the abundant resources of historical sites, and the support from the governments in China, son et lumiere is and will still be a trend in China. Improving the quality of son et lumiere and devoting to the creation of a successful, preservation-oriented son et lumiere is the goal and also the requirement in the future application of son et lumiere in China. An effective son et lumiere beneficial to the preservation of heritage sites is supposed to, on the premise of not touching the historical fabrics, through creating an immersive experience of heritage sites to attract the audience’s attention and successfully convey the historical and cultural information of the site to a broader audience, thereby establishing an interactive communication and relationship between people and heritage so that evoking the spectators’ enthusiasms to the historical sites. To achieve this goal and success, based on the current situation of son et lumiere in China, the content of the show is the priority that needs to be taken into more serious consideration for the better representation of the sites’ characteristics, values and attractions to the audiences and thereby benefiting the preservation of the sites.

description: In this paper we consider the Poisson algebraic structure associated with a classical $r$-matrix, i.e. with a solution of the modified classical Yang--Baxter equation. In Section 1 we recall the concept and basic facts of the $r$-matrix type Poisson orbits. Then we describe the $r$-matrix Poisson pencil (i.e the pair of compatible Poisson structures) of rank 1 or $CP^n$-type orbits of $SL(n,C)$. Here we calculate symplectic leaves and the integrable foliation associated with the pencil. We also describe the algebra of functions on $CP^n$-type orbits. In Section 2 we calculate the Poisson homology of Drinfeld--Sklyanin Poisson brackets which belong to the $r$-matrix Poisson family.

description: The cultural heritage tourism industry has been on a constant expansion in China across the past decades. A growing volume of regional municipalities and investors is actively participating in developing and transforming the cultural heritage sites into tourism destinations. While the mass tourism and its continuous escalation are bringing tremendous success to regional economy, it is also significantly challenging the material integrity of fragile cultural heritage destinations. Such an issue is exposed most acutely at the Mogao Caves, an archaeological cave-temple ensemble in northwestern China. This thesis lays out the cultural heritage preservation framework and the growing tourism economy in China, dissects the preservation issues and challenges presence at the Mogao Caves, evaluates current Mogao Caves visitation design and narratives, seeks guidance and possible resolutions via international case studies faced with similar challenges, and eventually proposes a vision and plan of redevelopment that aims at encounter-balancing the diverse challenges by integrating findings discovered in the research process.

description: This thesis explores what can be done to preserve the significant historic resources that enhance and define the character of Jamestown, Rhode Island, some of which are recognized at the state and national levels. The time period of the resources focused on is 1872-1936. Although some of Jamestown’s resources are protected, most are vulnerable to demolition and alteration. This thesis outlines why Jamestown needs to expand its scope of preservation, tells the history of the island through the surviving historic resources, and chronicles the process of a historic district ordinance in Jamestown that almost passed. To outline possible ways forward, preservation policy tools that could be effective in Jamestown are explained, with similar towns serving as models. Finally, the reasons behind the current lack of preservation measures are analyzed.
Self-consistent theory of many-body localisation in a quantum spin chain with long-range interactions

description: Many-body localisation is studied in a disordered quantum spin-1/2 chain with long-ranged power-law interactions, and distinct power-law exponents for interactions between longitudinal and transverse spin components. Using a self-consistent mean-field theory centring on the local propagator in Fock space and its associated self-energy, a localisation phase diagram is obtained as a function of the power-law exponents and the disorder strength of the random fields acting on longitudinal spin-components. Analytical results are corroborated using the well-studied and complementary numerical diagnostics of level statistics, entanglement entropy, and participation entropy, obtained via exact diagonalisation. We find that increasing the range of interactions between transverse spin components hinders localisation and enhances the critical disorder strength. In marked contrast, increasing the interaction range between longitudinal spin components is found to enhance localisation and lower the critical disorder.

An Implicit High-Order Preconditioned Flux Reconstruction Method for Low-Mach-Number Flow Simulation with Dynamic Meshes
Creators: name: Wang, Lai

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Computational Physics (physics.comp-ph)

description: A fully implicit high-order preconditioned flux reconstruction/correction procedure via reconstruction (FR/CPR) method is developed to solve the compressible Navier-Stokes equations at low Mach numbers. A dual-time stepping approach with the second-order backward differentiation formula (BDF2) is employed to ensure temporal accuracy for unsteady flow simulation. When dynamic meshes are used to handle moving/deforming domains, the geometric conservation law (GCL) is implicitly enforced to eliminate errors due to the resolution discrepancy between BDF2 and the spatial FR/CPR discretization. The large linear system resulted from the spatial and temporal discretizations is tackled with the restarted Generalized Minimal Residual (GMRES) solver in the PETSc (Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation) library. Through several benchmark steady and unsteady numerical tests, the preconditioned FR/CPR methods have demonstrated good convergence and accuracy for simulating flows at low Mach numbers. The new flow solver is then used to study the effects of Mach number on unsteady force generation over a plunging airfoil when operating in low-Mach-number flows. It is observed that weak compressibility has a significant impact on thrust generation but a negligible effect on lift generation of an oscillating airfoil.

description: Any knot in $S^3$ may be reduced to a slice knot by crossing changes. Indeed, this slice knot can be taken to be the unknot. In this paper we study the question of when the same holds for knots in homology spheres. We show that a knot in a homology sphere is nullhomotopic in a smooth homology ball if and only if that knot is smoothly concordant to a knot which is homotopic to a smoothly slice knot. As a consequence, we prove that the equivalence relation on knots in homology spheres given by cobounding immersed annuli in a homology cobordism is generated by concordance in homology cobordisms together with homotopy in a homology sphere.

description: The “20 Year Conceptual Reclamation Plan” (Przeczek 2003) for Teck Coal Ltd., Elkview Operations provides direction for promoting a range of habitats that will support a range of wildlife species over time. Creating these habitats requires consistently successful revegetation treatments including the establishment of native trees and shrubs. Tree and shrub establishment is critical to meeting target biological diversity objectives for species, spatial distribution and vertical structure set for the reclaimed environment at the mine. Successful implementation of planting programs requires optimizing seedling quality and carefully managing any situations that can negatively impact seedling physiology. Starting in 2008, Elkview Operations has made a concerted effort to identify and control as many of the links in the “reclamation chain” as possible. We have specifically focussed on: 1. Appropriate species selection; 2. High quality seed collection; 3. High quality planting stock (regular communication with nursery staff); 4. Effective site preparation; 5. High quality planting (close communication with tree planters); 6. Rigorous seedling handling procedures from the cold storage facility to the planting hole; 7. Planting as early in the spring as possible; 8. Fertilization at the time of planting; and, 9. Monitoring success through formal survival plots and regular walk-through assessments of past plantations to inform adaptive management programs. Plantation success has improved from 2008 – 2013 so that we are now comfortable prescribing the establishment of specific tree and shrub species plant communities. We currently focus on creating eight broad plant community types. Our program has expanded to include 4 coniferous tree species, 3 deciduous tree species, and 13 shrub species. We will continue to expand the list of species, minimize seedling physiological stress, and monitor success to ensure that the mosaic of planted vegetation types, in combination with areas seeded with agronomic grasses and legumes, will promote site level biological diversity objectives.

Hyperbrotica Bechyné & Bechyné, 1968: 26 (type species Crioceris ebraea Fabricius, 1787, by original designation).
Remarks
This genus contains a single species, H. ebraea (Fabricius, 1787), with two named subspecies. The distribution is in northern South America. The tarsal claws are bifid in males. However, the inner claw lobe on the hind leg is slightly broader than the inner lobe on the front and middle legs. Females have appendiculate tarsal claws. See Fig. 92 for a habitus illustration.

description: We study the dynamics of an entangled, isotropic solution of polar filaments coupled by molecular motors which generate relative motion of the filaments in two and three dimensions. We investigate the stability of the homogeneous state for constant motor concentration taking into account excluded volume and entanglement. At low filament density the system develops a density instability, while at high filament density entanglement effects drive the instability of orientational fluctuations.

On the Number of Guards in Sculpture Garden Problem

description: Abstract: In this paper, we consider the problem of placing a small number of angle guards inside a simple polygon P such that each point in the plane can determine if it is in or out of P from a monotone Boolean formula (and (.) and or (+) operations only) composed from the angle guards. Each angle guard views an infinite wedge of the plane. This class of new art gallery type problems is called sculpture garden problems. First we present an efficient algorithm for placing n –[c/2] angle guards inside a simple n-gon P and show that this bound is tight, where c is the number of vertices of convex hull of P. Then we show that, for any polygon P, there is a set of n –[c/2]–h angle guards that solve the sculpture garden problem for P, where h is the number of holes in P and show that this bound is tight, too.
Incremental Visual-Inertial 3D Mesh Generation with Structural Regularities

description: Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO) algorithms typically rely on a point cloud representation of the scene that does not model the topology of the environment. A 3D mesh instead offers a richer, yet lightweight, model. Nevertheless, building a 3D mesh out of the sparse and noisy 3D landmarks triangulated by a VIO algorithm often results in a mesh that does not fit the real scene. In order to regularize the mesh, previous approaches decouple state estimation from the 3D mesh regularization step, and either limit the 3D mesh to the current frame or let the mesh grow indefinitely. We propose instead to tightly couple mesh regularization and state estimation by detecting and enforcing structural regularities in a novel factor-graph formulation. We also propose to incrementally build the mesh by restricting its extent to the time-horizon of the VIO optimization; the resulting 3D mesh covers a larger portion of the scene than a per-frame approach while its memory usage and computational complexity remain bounded. We show that our approach successfully regularizes the mesh, while improving localization accuracy, when structural regularities are present, and remains operational in scenes without regularities.

Lessons from Sandy: Federal policies to build climate-resilient coastal regions
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: This report identifies a set of policies, regulations, and administrative practices that federal agencies can adopt to help coastal regions become more resilient—able to recover quickly from natural disasters while at the same time reducing future risk in the face of climate change. The research draws on two convenings of experts on climate resilience (Appendices A and B). The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and Regional Plan Association organized these gatherings in June 2013 and January 2014 in order to analyze the response to Hurricane Sandy, identify a national strategy for climate resilience, and asess the role of federal agencies in supporting climate adaptation.

description: We define a class of pseudo-ergodic non-self-adjoint Schrödinger operators acting in spaces $l^2(X)$ and prove some general theorems about their spectral properties. We then apply these to study the spectrum of a non-self-adjoint Anderson model acting on $l^2(\Z)$, and find the precise condition for 0 to lie in the spectrum of the operator. We also introduce the notion of localized spectrum for such operators.

description: Molecular annotation of external cohort in function of TNBC clusters and non-TNBC. Radar plot showing the segregation of three clusters as a function of 47 continuous score GES. This figure is an illustration of Additional file 26. Each of the 47 radii represents a GES. Black circles represent significantly different levels of expression from low (smallest circle) to high (largest circle). Expression level of each cluster is represented on the corresponding circle as a dark gray (NTN), blue (C’1), red (C’2) or green (C’3) dot. Dots located on same circles correspond to clusters with not significantly different expressions. Dots located on different circles correspond to clusters with significantly different expressions. Dots located in between black circles correspond to a cluster with expression level not significantly different from clusters whose dots are located on both near circles. (PDF 287 kb)

description: This thesis assesses how the reconstruction efforts following the 2020 Beirut port explosion are affecting the modern built heritage in the city, and analyzes how perceptions of the modern heritage are changing through this process. Grounded in existing literature on the modern heritage in Lebanon, this thesis summarizes and offers a critical view on the totality of this literature. Analyzing the history of architectural modernism in Lebanon, this work seeks to place it in a wider context of a Lebanese vernacular architecture and to question and complicate the idea of the ‘modern’. Likewise, it aims to analyze the notion of a Lebanese or Beiruti built heritage in light of current and past heritage efforts. The contribution of this thesis is a series of in-depth interviews with experts, academics, and NGO representatives on the place of the modern within the idea of heritage in Beirut today, as well as a photographic survey of reconstruction efforts on El Khazinien Street in the Beirut neighborhood of Geitawi. Developed in collaboration with a co-mapper in Beirut, this thesis also adds to the conversation around international research in the age of COVID-19. The findings indicate that changed views on modern architecture are surfacing during the reconstruction efforts. These changes represent an initial apogee of an effort twenty years in the making to increase the knowledge of the modern heritage in the city. They are mirrored in current efforts to safeguard, document and revalorize the modern heritage in the city, both on an institutional and a popular level, thus representing the beginning of a wider shift in the view on architectural heritage in the city.

description: The YOPP Supersite-Model Intercomparison Project (YOPPsiteMIP) is linking observations from selected land-based observatories and ship-based field campaigns with high frequency co-located outputs from numerical weather prediction models during the Special Observing Period during the Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP, May 2017 to June 2019). A key component of YOPPsiteMIP is the creation of Merged Observatory Data Files (MODFs). The goal is to assemble data from all the sensors at a given land- or ship-based observatory into a single netCDF file that is as similar as possible to the corresponding model output. The corresponding Merged Model Data Files (MMDFs) will use the same nomenclature, metadata, and structure. This unique dataset of paired model output and multivariate observations enables detailed process-based diagnostic and validation studies. The files comprising the H-K table provide guidelines for creating MODFs and MMDFs. They are available in both human-readable (the PDF file) and machine-readable (the four JSON files) form. The H-K Table relies on standards and conventions commonly used in the earth sciences, including netCDF encoding with CF Conventions. The prescribed metadata make data provenance clear and encourage proper attribution of the observations. These files enable observational groups to create modeler-ready MODFs using current requirements and their software of choice, and give NWP partners guidance in creating comparable model output files.
