net zero adaptation—buildings

description: Abstract: In the context of the built environment there has been a greater focus of research and policy on climate mitigation efforts, compared with adaptation. Buildings designed today will likely need upgrades within their lifetime if adaptation is not adequately considered. There is currently no widely adopted system for assessing building adaptation in design and clearer guidance is needed. By way of example, a review of three established, geographically diverse building sustainability assessment tools (BREEAM, Green Star and LEED) demonstrates the extent that adaptation to climate change and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions have been integrated. Despite recent assessment updates, emphasis on action pertaining to climate issues is heavily weighted towards mitigation; the integration of adaptation considerations is limited and in most cases not mandatory. This state of play in assessment tools is reflective of wider shortfalls in meaningfully addressing climate change risk in asset design. To ensure that asset investment considers climate-related impacts in a holistic manner, better mechanisms for achieving an integrated perspective of mitigation and adaptation are required.

description: Replication studies that contradict prior findings may facilitate scientific self-correction by triggering a reappraisal of the original studies; however, the research community’s response to replication results has not been studied systematically. One approach for gauging responses to replication results is to examine how they affect citations to original studies. In this study, we explored postreplication citation patterns in the context of four prominent multilaboratory replication attempts published in the field of psychology that strongly contradicted and outweighed prior findings. Generally, we observed a small postreplication decline in the number of favorable citations and a small increase in unfavorable citations. This indicates only modest corrective effects and implies considerable perpetuation of belief in the original findings. Replication results that strongly contradict an original finding do not necessarily nullify its credibility; however, one might at least expect the replication results to be acknowledged and explicitly debated in subsequent literature. By contrast, we found substantial citation bias: The majority of articles citing the original studies neglected to cite relevant replication results. Of those articles that did cite the replication but continued to cite the original study favorably, approximately half offered an explicit defense of the original study. Our findings suggest that even replication results that strongly contradict original findings do not necessarily prompt a corrective response from the research community.

description: Abstract: The labour-intensive task of waste collection for recycling is critical to contemporary forms of corporate circularity. In low- and middle-income countries, waste pickers underpin the recycling loop of the circular economy. Where informality and working poverty are the norm, waste pickers typically receive little social protection, work in dangerous conditions, and earn low wages. Nevertheless, waste pickers’ work addresses multiscalar environmental problems from localised flooding of plastic-clogged waterways, to preventing the release of greenhouse gases when plastic is burnt. Here, we review recent academic and grey literature on waste picking, the social circular economy, and corporate circularity to understand the role and position of waste pickers in the contemporary circular economy. We explain how given the recent outcry against plastic waste, and subsequent corporate commitments to plastic recycling, there has been greater action on material flows than in support of the people who move these flows. Overall, the corporate response remains limited, with a general preference for recycling over redesign and only a fifth of packaging accounted for. Based on this review, we present two models. The first is a hierarchy of plastic recycling showing the foundational role of waste pickers in the recycled plastics supply chain. As plastics move up the hierarchy, their value increases and working conditions improve. We also propose a new model for a socially restorative circular economy which provides fair pay, safe working conditions, social protection, legal rights, voice, respect, services, and education. Some governments, co-operatives, non-governmental organisations, and businesses are already working towards this—and their work offers pathways towards a new standard of fair trade recycled materials. We argue that for true sustainability and the best version of circularity to be achieved, deeply ingrained social challenges must be resolved.

For an arbitrary hard process involving a decay to the unbroken standard model, we determine the prompt distribution of stable states including photons, neutrinos, positrons, and antiprotons. These spectra are a crucial ingredient in the search for DM via indirect detection at the highest energies as being probed in current and upcoming experiments including IceCube, HAWC, CTA, and LHAASO. Our approach improves considerably on existing methods, for instance, we include all relevant electroweak interactions.

The results show that the combination of these potentials could promote an initially accelerated period, going through a middle decelerated era, with a final eternal accelerated period, where the self-interaction contribution dominates.

description: Abstract: The maximum caliber approach implements the maximum entropy principle for trajectories by maximizing a path entropy under external constraints. The maximum caliber approach can be applied to a diverse set of equilibrium and non-equilibrium problems concerning the properties of trajectories connecting different states of a system. In this review, we recapitulate the basic concepts of the maximum entropy principle and of its maximum caliber implementation for path ensembles, and review recent applications of this approach. In particular, we describe how we recently used this approach to introduce a framework, called here the continuum path ensemble maximum caliber (CoPE-MaxCal) method, to impose kinetic constraints in molecular simulations, for instance to include experimental information about transition rates. Such incorporation of dynamical information can ameliorate inaccuracies of empirical force fields, and lead to improved mechanistic insights. We conclude by offering an outlook for future research.

THE SOUND OF SCOTOMA: A multisensory integration approach for individuals with Macular Degeneration
Creators: name: AHMAD, HAFSAH
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2020

description: Audio-spatial representation reorganizes in the absence of visual inputs, as in the case of blind
individuals. However, it is not clear how this spatial reorganization works. Although
blindness is an ideal condition to understand how other sensory modalities react in absence
of vision, there are some limits in using it as a modal. The main limit is that blindness can be
considered a stable model of cortical organization and it does not allow to understand the
mechanisms which cause this reorganization. To understand this process, we have studied
a unique group of individuals suffering from Macular Degeneration (MD) for whom loss
of visual inputs due to a progressive scotoma is an ongoing process. In this dissertation I
decided to focus on understanding auditory spatial representation in MD individuals and
to develop technnological solutions for them incorporating multisensory integration. First,
we developed a device called ARENA which is an audio-tactile matrix of speakers to study
audio-spatial localization in MD individuals. Our findings show that visual loss brings an
immediate change in the processing of audio-spatial percept by attracting the lateral sounds
towards scotoma positions in the center, producing a strong auditory spatial perception bias.
To recaliberate this audio-spatial bias and to give MD individuals an understanding of their
own scotoma to develop an effective pseudo fovea, we have designed a rehabilitation protocol
called Intelligent Audio Visual Thumble Training (IVATT). A multisensory feedback device
Audio Visual Thumble (AVT) is developed for this training. Our findings show that this
technique is effective to overcome the audio-spatial bias and can improve the precision
towards visual stimuli in peripheral visual field. This work concludes that development of
scotoma alters the audio-spatial representation and hence focus of rehabilitation techniques
can be extended to bring-in multisensory modalities in order to utilize residual vision of MD
individuals.

description: With a complete, mass-selected sample of quiescent galaxies from the NEWFIRM Medium-Band Survey (NMBS), we study the stellar populations of the oldest and most massive galaxies (>10^11 Msun) to high redshift. The sample includes 570 quiescent galaxies selected based on their extinction-corrected U-V colors out to z=2.2, with accurate photometric redshifts, sigma_z/(1+z)~2%, and rest-frame colors, sigma_U-V~0.06 mag. We measure an increase in the intrinsic scatter of the rest-frame U-V colors of quiescent galaxies with redshift. This scatter in color arises from the spread in ages of the quiescent galaxies, where we see both relatively quiescent red, old galaxies and quiescent blue, younger galaxies towards higher redshift. The trends between color and age are consistent with the observed composite rest-frame spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of these galaxies. The composite SEDs of the reddest and bluest quiescent galaxies are fundamentally different, with remarkably well-defined 4000A- and Balmer-breaks, respectively. Some of the quiescent galaxies may be up to 4 times older than the average age- and up to the age of the universe, if the assumption of solar metallicity is correct. By matching the scatter predicted by models that include growth of the red sequence by the transformation of blue galaxies to the observed intrinsic scatter, the data indicate that most early-type galaxies formed their stars at high redshift with a burst of star formation prior to migrating to the red sequence. The observed U-V color evolution with redshift is weaker than passive evolution predicts; possible mechanisms to slow the color evolution include increasing amounts of dust in quiescent galaxies towards higher redshift, red mergers at z<1, and a frosting of relatively young stars from star formation at later times.

description: Abstract: Background: The introduction of novel CTCF binding sites in gene regulatory regions in the rodent lineage is partly the effect of transposable element expansion, particularly in the murine lineage. The exact mechanism and functional impact of evolutionarily novel CTCF binding sites are not yet fully understood. We investigated the impact of novel subspecies-specific CTCF binding sites in two Mus genus subspecies, Mus musculus domesticus and Mus musculus castaneus, that diverged 0.5 million years ago. Results: CTCF binding site evolution is influenced by the action of the B2-B4 family of transposable elements independently in both lineages, leading to the proliferation of novel CTCF binding sites. A subset of evolutionarily young sites may harbour transcriptional functionality as evidenced by the stability of their binding across multiple tissues in M. musculus domesticus (BL6), while overall the distance of subspecies-specific CTCF binding to the nearest transcription start sites and/or topologically associated domains (TADs) is largely similar to musculus-common CTCF sites. Remarkably, we discovered a recurrent regulatory architecture consisting of a CTCF binding site and an interferon gene that appears to have been tandemly duplicated to create a 15-gene cluster on chromosome 4, thus forming a novel BL6 specific immune locus in which CTCF may play a regulatory role. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that thousands of CTCF binding sites show multiple functional signatures rapidly after incorporation into the genome.
Intraguild predation is a mechanism of divergent selection in the threespine stickleback
Creators: name: Miller, Sara Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Biotic interactions among species are thought to be important for the generation of phenotypic diversity. Intraguild predation is a common ecological interaction that occurs when a species preys upon another species with which it competes. This interaction is potentially a mechanism of divergence between intraguild prey populations, but it is unknown if cases of character shifts in intraguild prey are phenotypically plastic or an evolutionary response. I collected threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) from lakes with and without prickly sculpin (Cottus asper) and identified trait differences in armour and behaviour among populations in the wild. Differences in behavioural and morphological traits among freshwater populations persisted in a common garden, suggesting that adaptation to intraguild predation has a genetic basis. To date, the evolutionary effect that biotic selection has upon an organisms’ genome remains largely unknown in natural populations. I used whole genome re-sequencing to investigate the extent of genetic differentiation between stickleback from populations with and without sculpin. The main axis of genetic variation in these populations is strongly associated with the presence or absence of sculpin. I identified the regions of the genome that have differentiated in parallel between lakes with and without sculpin, and measured the strength of this divergence. The presence or absence of sculpin corresponds to widespread differentiation that is unevenly distributed across the stickleback genome. Adaptation to intraguild predation may involve hundreds of genes with diverse functions. Observations of extensive phenotypic and genetic differentiation between stickleback from lakes with and without sculpin provide indirect evidence that sculpin are the cause of trait differences. Pelvic morphology is one of the most conspicuously varying traits among freshwater stickleback populations. This variation has been hypothesized to be the result of predation by fish and/or insect predators. I conducted a selection experiment to test if sculpin were an agent of selection for pelvic spine length. The results were combined with other experimental selection studies and used in a meta-analysis. Fish predators are an agent of selection for longer pelvic spines, but the role of insect predators is still unclear. Intraguild predation is a mechanism of divergent selection in threespine stickleback.

description: Abstract: Debate over migrations to Britain during the fifth and sixth centuries AD is still rampant in archaeological discourse. Stable carbon, nitrogen and oxygen isotope values from multiple tissues in individuals buried at Finglesham in Kent during the first millennium AD demonstrate not only migration of individuals to the region but also highlight community integration through foodways and refute previous models of ‘invasion’ and replacement. This case study community suggests gendered differences in mobility into early medieval England, with males more likely to be migrants from cooler regions than women. It also challenges traditional narratives of social status in these furnished cemeteries being linked to diet or migrant status with no clear correlations found between funerary treatment and isotopic signatures. This multi-tissue and multi-isotope study tracks dietary changes in this multi-origin community throughout their lives and shows that they may have even changed their diets to adapt to Christianising influences in the region.

description: Through the Non-Equilibrium Green's Function (NEGF) formalism, quantum-scale device simulation can be performed with the inclusion of electron-phonon scattering. However, the simulation of realistically sized devices under the NEGF formalism typically requires prohibitive amounts of memory and computation time. Two of the most demanding computational problems for NEGF simulation involve mathematical operations with structured matrices called semiseparable matrices. In this work, we present parallel approaches for these computational problems which allow for efficient distribution of both memory and computation based upon the underlying device structure. This is critical when simulating realistically sized devices due to the aforementioned computational burdens. First, we consider determining a distributed compact representation for the retarded Green's function matrix $G^{R}$. This compact representation is exact and allows for any entry in the matrix to be generated through the inherent semiseparable structure. The second parallel operation allows for the computation of electron density and current characteristics for the device. Specifically, matrix products between the distributed representation for the semiseparable matrix $G^{R}$ and the self-energy scattering terms in $Σ^{

description: We present numerical computations of the equilibrium configurations of tidally-locked homogeneous binaries, rotating in circular orbits. Unlike the classical Roche approximations, we self-consistently account for the tidal and rotational deformations of both components, and relax the assumptions of ellipsoidal configurations and Keplerian rotation. We find numerical solutions for mass ratios q between 1e-3 and 1, starting at a small angular velocity for which tidal and rotational deformations are small, and following a sequence of increasing angular velocities. Each series terminates at an appropriate ``Roche limit'', above which no equilibrium solution can be found. Even though the Roche limit is crossed before the ``Roche lobe'' is filled, any further increase in the angular velocity will result in mass-loss. For close, comparable-mass binaries, we find that local deviations from ellipsoidal forms may be as large as 10-20%, and departures from Keplerian rotation are significant. We compute the light curves that arise from our equilibrium configurations, assuming their distance is >>1 AU (e.g. in the Kuiper Belt). We consider both backscatter (proportional to the projected area) and diffuse (Lambert) reflections. Backscatter reflection always yields two minima of equal depths. Diffuse reflection, which is sensitive to the surface curvature, generally gives rise to unequal minima. We find detectable intensity differences of up to 10% between our light curves and those arising from the Roche approximations. Finally, we apply our models to Kuiper Belt binary 2001 QG298, and find a nearly edge-on binary with a mass ratio q = 0.93 ^{+0.07}_{-0.03}, angular velocity Omega^2/G rho = 0.333+/-0.001 (statistical errors only), and pure diffuse reflection. For the observed period of 2001 QG298, these parameters imply a bulk density, rho = 0.72 +/- 0.04 g cm^-3.

description: Objectives: To explore the frequency and nature of complaints and compliments reported to Patient Advice and Liaison (PALS) in individuals undergoing surgery for a chronic subdural haematoma (cSDH). Design: A retrospective study of PALS user interactions. Subjects: Individuals undergoing treatment for cSDH between 2014 and 2019. Methods: PALS referrals from patients with cSDH between 2014 and 2019 were identified. Case records were reviewed and data on the frequency, nature and factors leading up to the complaint were extracted and coded according to Healthcare Complaints Analysis Tool (HCAT). Results: Out of 531 patients identified, 25 (5%) had a PALS interaction, of which 15 (3%) were complaints and 10 (2%) were compliments. HCAT coding showed 8/15 (53%) of complaints were relationship problems, 6/15 (33%) a management problem and 1/15 (7%) other. Of the relationship problems, 6 (75%) were classed as problems with communication and 2 (25%) as a problem with listening. Of the compliments, 9/10 (90%) related to good clinical quality and 1/10 (10%) to staff–patient relationship. Patients were more likely to register a compliment than family members, who in turn were more likely to register a complaint (p<0.005). Complaints coded as a relationship problem had 2/8 (25%) submitted by a patient and 6/8 (75%) submitted by a relative. Conclusions: Using the HCAT, routinely collected PALS data can easily be coded to quantify and provide unique perspective on tertiary care, such as communication. It is readily suited to quality improvement and audit initiatives.

description: We present a complete study of the morphology of post-Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars. Post-AGB is a very short evolutionary phase between the end of the AGB and the beginning of the Planetary Nebula (PN) stage (between 100 and 10,000 yrs). We have defined the end of the post-AGB phase and the beginning of the PN phase when the star is hot enough to fully ionize the hydrogen envelope. Post-AGB stars have a circumstellar shell that is illuminated by the central stars or partially ionized. However, this circumstellar shell is too small to be resolved from ground-based observations. Thus, we have used data from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) database to resolve these shells. About 150 post-AGB were found in this database. Here we present the preliminary results on their morphological classification and the correlation with several parameters such as galactic latitude and IRAS fluxes. Our preliminary results show that 40% of the sample are stellar-like (S), 33 % bipolar (B), 12 % multi-polar (M) and 15 % elliptical (E).

description: Wellbeing or health includes providing complete physical, mental and social welfare for human
beings.
According to WHO?s definition, wellbeing is not only lack of disease or other problems in the
body, but is lack of any mental, social, and economical problems, and physical health for
everyone in society.
The most important health?s indications consist of:
1) Lack of disease and organ defects, which doesn?t keep people from doing daily activities
and earning money
2) To have enough strength do daily activities.
3) Maintain body weight, apart from growth period ( a healthy person?s weight is always
changeless)
4) Balanced appetite, not too much and not too. Individual should have appetite to receive
the least necessary food items.
5) Enough sleep and rest. A healthy individual must get enough and scheduled sleep hours.
Many people need 8 hours of sleep. But it is not the same for everyone
6) Harmony in vital processes; human body is like a systematic and automatic that has do its
function in time and well.
7) Non prominent body organs. A healthy individual never notices his body organs, unless
there is a physical or mental impairment.
8) Feeling light. In normal situation, a healthy individual doesn?t feel any weight for
himself.
9) Intention to do daily activities. Healthy individual mustn?t feel uncomfortable when
doing these activities.
10) Retrieve comfort. Anyone who does a chore gets tired after a while; but a healthy
individual retrieves his comfort after a short rest.

Neutrino Mass Models: From Type III See-saw to Non-Commutative Geometry
Creators: name: FILACI, MANUELE

description: Today we know that neutrinos are massive, but we ignore both the origin of their masses and the reason why those masses are so tiny. A natural mechanism that can explain the smallness of neutrino masses is the See-saw Mechanism, that in this work is studied in its Type III variant. However, even in the scope of the See-saw Mechanism, the origin of the huge neutrino Majorana mass (which is a fundamental prerequisite for any see-saw model) remains to be explained. A possible explanation can be found in Twisted Non-Commutative Geometry (NCG): for particular twists of the so-called Connes Model (which is the NCG formulation of the Standard Model) a new scalar field appears naturally, whose vacuum expectation value generates a Majorana mass for the neutrinos, and the order of magnitude of said v.e.v. is precisely the natural scale of the Majorana mass of See-saw Mechanisms (10^15 GeV). In this work, three different twists of the Connes Model are studied, paying particular attention to the new boson field content, their gauge transformations, as well as the fermionic actions of each model.

description: We propose a framework generalizing several variants of Prony's method and explaining their relations. These methods are suitable for determining the support of linear combinations in particular in vector spaces of functions from evaluations. They are based on suitable sequences of linear maps resp. their matrices and include Hankel and Toeplitz variants of Prony's method for the decomposition of multivariate exponential sums, polynomials (w.r.t. the monomial and Chebyshev bases), Gau�ian sums, spherical harmonic sums, taking also into account whether they have their support on an algebraic set.

Image Encryption Using Differential Evolution Approach in Frequency Domain

description: This paper presents a new effective method for image encryption which employs magnitude and phase manipulation using Differential Evolution (DE) approach. The novelty of this work lies in deploying the concept of keyed discrete Fourier transform (DFT) followed by DE operations for encryption purpose. To this end, a secret key is shared between both encryption and decryption sides. Firstly two dimensional (2-D) keyed discrete Fourier transform is carried out on the original image to be encrypted. Secondly crossover is performed between two components of the encrypted image, which are selected based on Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) index generator. Similarly, keyed mutation is performed on the real parts of a certain components selected based on LFSR index generator. The LFSR index generator initializes it seed with the shared secret key to ensure the security of the resulting indices. The process shuffles the positions of image pixels. A new image encryption scheme based on the DE approach is developed which is composed with a simple diffusion mechanism. The deciphering process is an invertible process using the same key. The resulting encrypted image is found to be fully distorted, resulting in increasing the robustness of the proposed work. The simulation results validate the proposed image encryption scheme.
