description: In late June 1998, a damaging flood event occurred at Lakes Entrance (Victoria, Australia), which was partly due to retardation of floodwater flow through the Gippsland Lakes artificial entrance by the level of flood-tide delta sediment accretion in the Entrance and Reeves Channels. Analyses of digitised three-dimensional hydrographic datasets allowed the extent of pre and post-flood event bathymetric change to be visualised and also quantified.Despite the introduction (post-1998 floods) of engineered sediment management regimes in the Entrance and Reeves Channels, flood-tide delta accretion has continued. This sediment accretion potentially increases the vulnerability of infrastructure in low-lying areas of the Lakes Entrance township to any future Gippsland Lakes flood events.

description: An area in the Magondi Belt, Zimbabwe, has been chosen for mineral potential mapping using the favourability functions approach. The available datasets comprising of an old geological map, a detailed airborne total magnetic field survey, and geochemical samples at the nodes of an exploration grid, have been integrated using seven different inference techniques through the joint probability function under the conditional independence hypothesis. A geological conceptual model has been adopted for the representation of the mineralization occurrence, in order to select appropriate geospatial indicators of mineralization, while existing mines in the area have been used as a training set for the model. Among the different integration techniques which have been tested, some have proven to be robust in correctly predicting all the known mine sites. It has been thus possible to draw favourability maps using existing data, which indicate the most promising areas for exploration and detailed mapping efforts for mineral exploitation. Even more important, using sensitivity analysis of the favourability functions allowed to evaluate the most important factors controlling mineralization occurrence, and thus worth additional future investigation.So far, a completely data driven approach has been supported because limitations due to lack of geological knowledge limited the possibility of using expert knowledge-based modifications of the conditional probabilities.Improvements in prediction can be achieved through a more detailed geological description of the area based e.g. on the interpretation of remotely sensed data.

description: Landscape Visual Quality (LVQ) assessment has become a core component of landscape architecture, landscape planning and spatial planning. Different approaches for assessing the scenic qualities of landscapes have been developed in the last few decades. Two contrasting paradigms, expert/design approach and community perception-based approach, have dominated methodology development. In the expert-design approach the landscape visual quality is defined by biological and physical (or biophysical) values, while the perception-based approach emphasises the human view (subjective) of the landscape. This paper outlines a methodology combining expert and perception approaches to assess the LVQ.The application of information technology to landscape analysis dates back to the early work in computer-based mapping. Much of the early work on what became Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and three-dimensional landscape modelling was carried out by landscape architects and landscape planners. In the past years, significant advances in computers and GIS have enabled analysis of vast amounts of spatial information, which is the foundation of the methodology described in this paper. The methodology is explained in detail through its application to assess the LVQ of the Mornington Peninsula Shire, Melbourne, in the State of Victoria, AUSTRALIA.There are six stages in the procedure: viewpoints selection; calculation of factor indices based on Visual Exposure Modelling; landscape preference rating; use of statistical methods (such as multiple regression model) to determine the key predictors of LVQ; application of the formula thus generated to assess the LVQ of viewpoints; and use of spatial interpolation to map LVQ across the study area.The results are discussed in the last section of this paper with reference to key methodological issues. Results show that the perceived LVQ increases with the area of water visible, the degree of wilderness and percentage of natural vegetation, and the presence of hills. On the other hand, it decreases with the presence of perceived negative human-made elements such as roads and buildings.

description: The Land Use Impact Model (LUIM) is a spatially explicit tool developed by the Department of Primary Industries Victoria, and the University of Queensland.The LUIM has an aspatial component that incorporates knowledge of relationships between landscape characteristics and land management practices and a spatial component that uses a GIS to map where these relationships exist or are likely to exist. These data are linked in a risk assessment framework by using a Bayesian belief network (BBN) within the LUIM. The soft data, sourced through workshops with experts and regional stakeholders are combined with the hard biophysical data in this network, so that uncertainties or probabilities in the data are handled in the BBN.The LUIM application described in this paper shows how it was used to inform the prioritisation of actions for a Soil Erosion Management Plan in West Gippsland. Using the LUIM, maps were produced identifying areas in the West Gippsland CMA region at risk of degradation from six soil erosion processes under current land management regimes. The risk maps were used to identify high value assets to be protected from further degradation as part of the soil erosion management plan.The LUIM fills a niche in the decision making processes for catchment management. It has the flexibility to be used at a range of scales with whatever data (hard and soft) that may be available. By combining expert opinion with hard data in a spatially explicit risk framework, priority areas can be identified and knowledge gaps highlighted. The LUIM is also adaptable to any issues that have a spatial context where natural resource assets may be threatened by degrading processes.
Time series analysis of the skyline and employment changes in the CBD of Melbourne

description: This paper covers historical and micro level analyses of floor space and employment in the CBD of Melbourne during the last two decades. The time-series patterns and processes of high-rise building provision in the CBD are also focused on. The CBD has experienced very complicated changes over the last two decades. While particular types of urban functions, say finance and insurance offices and many retail activities, have been dispersed to the suburbs, newly emerged activities have replaced the old and traditional ones. Despite the growth of suburban cores (office and retail), the CBD of Melbourne has still kept its strong centrality through a role as the main location of office activity in particular. Historical and micro level viewpoints provide a new understanding of the metropolitan area. The key question must be Why is the role of the CBD of Melbourne still so strong, given substantial dispersal of population and economic activity to suburban locations?
The spatial analysis of spectral data: extracting the neglected data

description: Remotely sensed data are a key input to GIS-based spatial decision support systems for land cover and land use application areas. One of the major sources of error in the input of processed remotely sensed data to GIS is in the process of classification. Particularly important is the degradation of the data from the interval to nominal level of measurement. This is less significant in cultural landscapes where boundaries predominate, but it becomes an important source of error in natural, and disturbed natural, environments where gradients exist. Use of the Gi* local statistic as an alternative approach to processing remotely sensed data proved very successful, replicating the level of discrimination achieved by conventional classification and field labelling in a much shorter time, whilst avoiding the errors associated with conversion of the data from the interval to nominal level of measurement.

The effect of cell resolution on depressions in Digital Elevation Models

description: A proper understanding of the occurrence of depressions is necessary to understand how they affect the processing of a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for hydrological analysis. While the effect of DEM cell resolution on common terrain derivatives has been well established, this is not well understood for depressions. The more widespread availability of high resolution DEMs derived through Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) technologies presents new challenges and opportunities for the characterization of depressions. A 6-meter LIDAR DEM for a study watershed in North Carolina was used to determine the effect of DEM cell resolution on the occurrence of depressions. The number of depressions was found to increase with smaller cell sizes, following an inverse power relationship. Scale-dependency was also found for the average depression surface area, average depression volume, total depression area and total depression volume. Results indicate that for this study area the amount of depressions in terms of surface area and volume is at a minimum for cell sizes around 30 to 61 meters. In this resolution range there will still be many artificial depressions, but their presence is less than at lower or higher resolutions. At finer scales, the (small) vertical error of the LIDAR DEM needs to be considered and introduces a large number of small and shallow artificial depressions. At coarser scales, the terrain variability is no longer reliably represented and a substantial number of large and sometimes deep artificial depressions is created. The results presented here support the conclusion that the use of the highest resolution and most accurate data, such as LIDAR-derived DEMs, may not result in the most reliable estimates of terrain derrivatives unless proper consideration is given to the scale-dependency of the parameters being studied.

description: Sustainable urban form presents the most critical problem facing most metropolitan areas following the suburbanization of urban functions in the 20th Century. Melbourne, the second major metropolitan area in Australia, has experienced motorization, creating a dispersed urban form, but has maintained its transit system and attempted to construct a compact suburban centre network. In this article, the characteristics of these suburban centres in Melbourne are analysed in detail. As a consequence, the centres are classified into the following four types: (a) Traditional centres mainly in the inner suburbs. (b) Stand-alone large suburban shopping centres. (c) Town centres formed around stations with central facilities in outer suburbs. (d) Newly-constructed centres resulting from the post 1980s planning policies and built near stations in outer suburbs. The paper also discusses the opportunities and problems generated by this diverse range of centres in the context of the planning scheme which seeks to combine compact centres with a pubic transit network.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: This paper reports on two models that have been developed using ArcView Model Builder to map suitability for agricultural and urban land uses. Both models use a GIS-based multiple criteria modelling approach combining empirical data with experts judgement.The Agricultural Suitability Model considers soil, landscape and climate criteria; whereas the Urban Buildability Model assesses biophysical, socio-economic and spatial phenomena to define locational suitability from a sustainable development perspective.These models have been used to help develop strategic development plans for several rural shires in Victoria, Australia. One of the major objectives of these Shire development strategies was to protect good agricultural land from urban development. There are more than 30 agricultural land suitability models that have been developed to address particular commodities of interest to these Shires. Shires where these models have been applied so far include South Gippsland.

description: This paper explores a new phase of urban development based on a case study of Dallas, Texas. The key feature of the North American metropolitan areas is the relatively weak CBD core. Many issues related to social problems, for example increasing number of immigrant shares or more non-English speaking people, often push the major urban functions out toward the suburbs and many high-density office complexes are found separate and far from the CBD as a result. In this paper, the authors examine the new efforts by city councils and other related organizations to reorganize suburbanized functions around a new public transportation system, the light rail transit (LRT). After the completion of the LRT in 1996, a new pattern of commuter flows and an increased urban development close to the newly opened stations occurred.

description: Extreme precipitation is thought to increase proportionally to the rise in the water va-por holding capacity of the air at roughly 7 %◦C−1, the so called Clausius–Clapeyron(CC) rate. We present an empirical study of the variability in the rates of increase inprecipitation intensity with air temperature using 30 yr of hourly data from 50 stations5in an Alpine environment. The analysis is conducted on storm events rather than fixedtime resolutions, and divided into event subsets based on concurrent lightning strikesindicating the presence of convection. The average rates of increase in mean event in-tensity (7.4%◦C−1) and peak hourly intensity (5.1 %◦C−1) for 90th percentiles are closeto the CC rate expected under fully saturated conditions. Super-CC rates reported by10other studies are an exception in our dataset. Events accompanied by lightning (con-vective events) exhibit significantly higher rates of increase than stratiform rain. Mixingof the two storm types exaggerates the relations to air temperature. The large spatialvariability in scaling rates across Switzerland suggests that both local (orographic) andregional effects limit moisture availability and supply in Alpine environments especially15in mountain valleys. A trend analysis shows that our estimate of the number of convec-tive events across Switzerland has steadily increased in the last 30yr. This significantshift towards more convective storms in a warming climate may as a consequence leadto stronger storm intensities and therefore higher risk connected with those events.

description: Industrial progress has resulted in threatening concentrations of toxic metals in various areas of the world. Bioremediation is an economical alternative to chemical methods. Bacteria resistant to As(III), As(V), Cr, Co, Cu, Cd, Hg, Ni, Pb, Se, and Zn were isolated from the wastewater treatment plant of Kasur, Pakistan. Highest resistance against all metals was exhibited by MX-1, MX-3, MX-4, and MX-5. The isolates possessed dual ability to oxidize as well as to reduce As. Highest As(V) reduction (454 µM) was exhibited by MX-1, while most As(III) oxidation was shown by MX-3 (170 µM). The isolates were also capable of reducing Cr(VI), and maximum Cr(VI) reduction (500 µM) was exhibited by MX-3. Transformation of DH5α with MX-1 plasmid showed that resistance genes for As(III), As(V), Cr, Cd, Se, Hg, and Ni were plasmid borne, while in case of MX-3, resistance genes for As(III), As(V), Co, Cu, Se, Pb, Zn, and Ni were present on plasmid. MX-1 and MX-3 were also positive for auxin production (37 and 32.96 µg ml−1, respectively). MX-3 was also found to produce hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and solubilized phosphate. These isolates promoted plant (Vigna radiata) growth both in the presence and absence of the metals. MX-1, MX-3, and MX-5 were identified as Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus safensis, and Bacillus cereus through 16S rRNA gene sequencing, respectively. Such bacteria having multiple traits of resisting multiple metals, dual ability to oxidize/reduce As, and reduce Cr(VI) along with the ability to support plant growth are good tools for remediation of metal-contaminated sites and its cultivation.

description: Odisha (East India) is home to several hot springs, of which Atri and Taptapani are the two with variation in temperature and located in the Mahanadi geothermal province having altitude 120 and 1800 ft., respectively, above sea level. Average temperature of Atri hot spring is as higher as 58 ± 5°C as compared to 48 ± 5°C of Taptapani. In-depth analysis of the microbial diversity of these hot springs through 16S rRNA deep sequencing analysis, targeting V3 region was performed using Illumina bar-coded sequencing platform. Existence of higher microbial diversity in Atri hot spring (1662 OTUs; 2708 species) as compared to Taptapani (1561 Operational Taxonomic Units [OTUs]; 2045 species) is supported by higher value of diversity indices for Atri (6.24, Shannon; 0.95, Simpson) than Taptapani (4.03, Shannon; 0.79, Simpson), probably due to favorable influence of environmental parameters around it. Irrespective of the four databases (GREENGENE, M5RNA, Ribosomal Database Project [RDP], and Small Subunit [SSU] databases) used for understanding community structure, the dominant phyla in the Atri hot spring were different from the predominant populations in the Taptapani in terms of percentage representation in different databases. From Principal Coordinates Analysis [PCoA] analysis, Atri and Taptapani metagenome, on comparison with other three metagenomes, were found to be matching with the community structure of hot springs of Gujarat, India, but differed from that of saline desert. Furthermore, predicted functional analysis in both the hot springs were found to be affiliated with carbohydrate, amino acids, energy, vitamins and cofactor, nucleotide, membrane transport metabolic pathways, and the genes involved in them, although their intensity of occurrence was varying as analyzed through PICRUSt and Tax4Fun probably due to physicochemical parameters prevailing around each hot spring. The present study for the first time has revealed the differential microbial community structure and predicted functional diversity of Atri and Taptapani hot springs of Odisha in such a great detail.

description: We present results of a method for calculating optical pumping rates in Rb-87, as described in Eur. J. Phys 38, 045703 (2017) We use circularly polarized light to populate a stretched angular momentum state in the Fg=2 hyperfine structure level of the ground state. We include in the analysis an applied weak magnetic field. The method is shown to function well for the the studied system. Absolute scale level populations as functions of time, detuning, intensity, magnetic field and starting parameters are derived.
Covering random graphs by monochromatic trees
Creators: name: Bradac, Domagoj
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2021

description: Given an r-edge coloured complete graph Kn , how many monochromatic connected com- ponents does one need in order to cover its vertex set? This natural question is a well-known essentially equivalent formulation of the classical Ryser’s conjecture which, despite a lot of at- tention over the last 50 years, still remains wide open. A number of recent papers considersparse random analogue of this question, asking for the minimum number of monochromatic components needed to cover the vertex set of the random graph G(n, p). Recently, Bucić, Korándi and Sudakov established a connection between this problem andcertain Helly-type local to global question for hypergraphs raised about 30 years ago by Erdős, Hajnal and Tuza. We identify a modified version of the hypergraph problem which controls the answer to the problem of covering random graphs with monochromatic components more pre- cisely. To showcase the power of our approach, we essentially resolve the 3-colour case by showing that (log n/n)1/4 is a threshold at which point 3 monochromatic components are needed to cover all vertices of a 3-edge-coloured random graph, answering a question posed by Kohayakawa, Mendonça, Mota and Schülke.

description: We present results of a method for calculating optical pumping rates in Rb-87, as described in Eur. J. Phys 38, 045703 (2017) We use circularly polarized light to populate a stretched angular momentum state in the Fg=2 hyperfine structure level of the ground state. We include in the analysis an applied weak magnetic field. The method is shown to function well for the the studied system. Absolute scale level populations as functions of time, detuning, intensity, magnetic field and starting parameters are derived.

description: Recently, the demands of biofuels have increased, because of their significant role in reducing various pollutants created by fossil fuels. Here, we have collected 25 samples containing various thermotolerant microorganisms from the nine natural fermented sources of Bangladesh, such as Boiled potato (Bp), Decomposed foods (Df), Municipal liquid waste (Mlw), Municipal solid waste (Msw), Sugarcane juice (Sc), Pantavat (Pv), Sugar molasses (Sm), Tari (Tari) and Watermelon juice (Wm) for bioethanol production. Among them, 18 isolates are capable of producing bioethanol. Cultural, morphological, physiological, biochemical and genetic analyses were carried out under various physiological conditions. Ethanol fermentation was checked by different carbon sources, temperatures and pH. All of the isolates could grow well in the medium containing Dextrose and Arabinose and only two strains Pv-1 and Bp-2 could ferment Xylose as a sole carbon source. At 42 °C, the highest ethanol concentration 6.58% (v/v) was obtained by a strain Wm-1 isolated from Watermelon juice. At 37 °C, maximal ethanol concentrations of 6.74% (v/v), 6.50% (v/v) and 6.22% (v/v) were obtained by the strains Bp-2, Wm-l and Pv-1, respectively. Among the various pH tested, the highest ethanol concentration 6.6% (v/v) was obtained at pH 4.5 by a strain named Tari-2. Finally, yeast 26S rDNA sequencing information identified the strains Sc-2 as Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pv-2, Tari-2 and Df-1 as Pichia kudriavzevii, Mlw-l and Bp-2 as Candida tropicalis, Pv-1 as Pichia guilliermondii and Df-2 as Candida rugosa.

description: This edited volume inquires into the use of prediction at the intersection of politics and academia, and reflects upon the implications of future-oriented policy-making across different fields. The first part of the book discusses different academic perspectives and contributions to future-oriented policy-making. The second part discusses the role of future knowledge in decision-making across different empirical issues such as climate, health, finance, bio- and nuclear weapons, civil war, and crime. It analyses how prediction is integrated into public policy and governance, and how in return governance structures influence the making of knowledge about the future. The volume contributes to a better understanding of the complex interaction and feedback loops between the processes of creating knowledge about the future and the application of this future knowledge in public policy and governance.

description: Toxicology as a discipline is moving toward increased standardization of methods for testing and reporting end points in model organisms for improved, cross-laboratory data integration. Labs engaged in high-throughput analyses have established handbooks to internally standardize results, but these standards are rarely applied across laboratories. This poses a problem for integrating and comparing data across labs, which could support more robust corroboration in the confidence of results from toxicological assessments. To set a baseline, an informal survey was created asking participants to score 24 lateral images of zebrafish larvae for chemical-induced malformations (i.e., abnormalities) according to their laboratory practices and standards. Participants were allowed to answer using free text. Eighteen researchers from fourteen different labs participated. The free text results included 1748 terms which were mapped to 48 traits from the Zebrafish Phenotype Ontology (ZP) for comparison. Both the reported endpoints and the terms used to describe them were very heterogeneous and had little agreement - even the most straightforward of endpoints, normal and dead embryos, were not consistently identified. Abnormalities of the heart and yolk were the most consistently identified (67% and 63% agreement, respectively) while abnormalities of the pectoral fin and the gut were least consistently identified (6% and 11% agreement, respectively). Abnormalities of the gut, pectoral fin, and otic vesicles were the most heterogeneously described while abnormalities of the trunk, snout, and heart were the most homogeneously described. Participants were able to score every image, all images were lateral views at stage 96 hours post fertilization (hpf) which were taken with the VAST (Vertebrate Automates Screening Technology)-System. It is clear from these results that the community requires improved standards for defining and scoring toxicological endpoints. Future work will include conducting a study that includes a controlled vocabulary with textual definitions for scoring embryo images, to determine if this improves consistency.

Modelling supraglacial debris-cover evolution from the single glacier to the regional scale: an application to High Mountain Asia

description: Currently, about 12–13 % of High Mountain Asia's glacier area is debris-covered, altering its surface mass balance. However, in regional-scale modelling approaches, debris-covered glaciers are typically treated as clean-ice glaciers, leading to a potential bias when modelling their future evolution. Here, we present a new approach for modelling debris area and thickness evolution, applicable from single glaciers to the global scale. We implement the module into the Global Glacier Evolution Model (GloGEMflow), a combined mass-balance ice-flow model. The module is initialized with both glacier-specific observations of the debris’ spatial distribution and estimates of debris thickness, accounts for the fact that debris can either enhance or reduce surface melt depending on thickness, and enables representing the spatio-temporal evolution of debris extent and thickness. We calibrate and evaluate the module on a select subset of glaciers, and apply the model using different climate scenarios to project the future evolution of all glaciers in High Mountain Asia until 2100. Compared to 2020, total glacier volume is expected to decrease by between 35 ± 15 % and 80 ±11 %, which is in line with projections in the literature. Depending on the scenario, the mean debris-cover fraction is expected to increase, while mean debris thickness is modelled to show only minor changes, albeit large local thickening is expected. To isolate the influence of explicitly accounting for supraglacial debris-cover, we re-compute glacier evolution without the debris-cover module. We show that glacier geometry, area, volume and flow velocity evolve differently, especially at the level of individual glaciers. This highlights the importance of accounting for debris-cover and its spatio-temporal evolution when projecting future glacier changes.
