description: The risk of disasters in urban areas due to natural hazards is increasing in frequency and intensity worldwide, and it is now widely recognized that extreme weather events that will become a regular part of life in the future. The United Nations and other international agencies have developed several extensive frameworks to understand and reduce disaster risk. Disaster Risk Reduction remains however, largely the prerogative of national governments, even though the effects of disaster are felt at an urban scale. In order to promote solutions must come from cities themselves, international frameworks must be integrated into urban planning policies and practice. This thesis is a study of Disaster Risk Reduction as it is practiced in Mumbai, India; and examines the extent to which it is ‘mainstreamed’ into urban planning.

description: Topology of levels of the quasiperiodic functions with m=n+2 periods on the plane is studied. For the case of functions with m=4 periods full description is obtained for the open everywhere dense family of functions. This problem is equivalent to the study of Hamiltonian systems on the (n+2)-torus with constant rank 2 Poisson bracket. In the cases under investigation we proved that this system is topologically completely integrable in some natural sence where interesting integer-valued locally stable topological characteristics appear. The case of 3 periods has been extensively studied last years by the present author, Zorich, Dynnikov and Maltsev for the needs of solid state physics (''Galvanomagnetic Phenomena in Normal Metals''); The case of 4 periods might be useful for Quasicrystals.

description: The purpose of this note is to prove the existence of a conformal scattering operator for the cubic defocusing wave equation on a non-stationary background. The proof essentially relies on solving the characteristic initial value problem by the method developed by Hörmander. This method consists in slowing down the propagation speed of the waves to transform a characteristic initial value problem into a standard Cauchy problem.

description: Rescue excavations by the Field Archaeology Unit, University College London, revealed part of a Romano-British farm stead with occupation spanning the lst to 4th centuries. One probable rectangular post-hole building was recognized as well as numerous other post-holes, pits, ditches and stake-holes. Economic data from the Romano-British features suggest a mixed agricultural regime. Although no prehistoric features were located, the presence of a little unabraded pottery suggests an Iron Age site may lie in the vicinity.
Overview of selenium in surface waters, sediment and biota in river basins of west-central Alberta
Creators: name: Casey, Richard

Year: 2009

description: This report includes the initial findings of a study begun in spring 1999. The study was designed to obtain data on the concentrations of selenium in surface water, sediment and aquatic biota at about 30 sites, including areas upstream (reference sites) and downstream of four coal mines located in west-central Alberta. Sample sites were mostly in lotie systems, but also included an end pit lake and a reference lake. Data from all surveys showed low concentrations of selenium in water at the reference sites. Most of these concentrations were less than the CCME water quality guideline for the protection of freshwater aquatic life. The highest selenium concentrations, often an order of magnitude greater than both the CCME and US-EPA chronic guidelines, were found at sites immediately downstream of 3 mines. Similar high concentrations of selenium were found in the end pit lake compared to the reference lake. Selenium concentrations generally decreased downstream of the mines. Almost all of the selenium in the water samples was in the dissolved form. Selenium concentrations in samples of littoral sediments were always higher in the pit lake than in the reference lake. Selenium concentrations in rainbow trout eggs were greater than in muscle. Selenium in eggs was positively related to selenium in muscle tissues. With few exceptions, the lowest concentrations of selenium in muscle and eggs were found at the reference sites compared to the remaining sites. Greatest mean concentrations of selenium in both muscle and egg tissues were found at the pit lake and stream site closest to one mine. Mean selenium concentrations in rainbow trout muscle and eggs showed a positive correlation with selenium concentrations in surface waters.

description: Breaking of the inversion symmetry at the interface between different materials may dramatically enhance spin-orbit interaction in the vicinity of the interface. We incorporate the effects of this interfacial spin-orbit coupling (ISOC) into the standard drift-diffusion theory by deriving generalized boundary conditions for diffusion equations. Our theoretical scheme is based on symmetry arguments, providing a natural classification and parametrization of all spin-charge and spin-spin conversion effects that occur due to ISOC at macroscopically isotropic interfaces between nonmagnetic materials. We illustrate our approach with specific examples of spin-charge conversion in hybrid structures. In particular, for a lateral metal-insulator structure we predict an "ISOC-gating" effect which can be used to detect spin currents in metallic films with weak bulk SOC.

Obtained effective two-dimensional theory admits Virasoro algebra near the horizon. This enables, with the help of Cardy formula, evaluation of the number of states. Obtained results coincide with the known macroscopic expression for the entropy of black holes in Gauss-Bonnet gravity.

The two species are similar in having long uncus arms, terminally expanded penis, a small pale spot near the end of the discal cell and a postdiscal row of such spots on hindwing below (sometimes vestigial) and a prominent ivory-colored area in the middle of cell CuA 2 -1A+2A on ventral forewing. Therefore, we propose Testia mammaea (Hewitson, 1876), new combination, making Testia Grishin, 2019 no longer monotypic.

It is argued that for all theories allowing wormhole effects the wave function of the universe is exponentially large. If the wormhole action is positive, one can try to overcome this difficulty by redefinition of the inner product, while for the case of negative wormhole action the more serious problems arise.

We provide an enhanced version of the CBD scheme that concatenates circuits to suppress over multiple frequencies and over broad frequency ranges --- we perform a first demonstration that reduces total excess amplitude noise, between 2 - 6 MHz, by 85%. These demonstrations enable passive, broad-band, all-guided fibre laser technology operating at the shot-noise limit.

Maintenance of Beta Cell Identity and Function

description: The acquisition of beta cell identity and function is a multistage process that involves the sequential regulation of specific factors and signals. The maintenance of beta cell identity and function is a process of comparable importance that requires persistent and continuous regulation. Loss of beta cell identity and/or reprogramming represents an important feature of beta cell dysfunction in genetic models of diabetes, as well as in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The factors and mechanisms involved in the acquisition and maintenance of beta cell identity are still not well understood. Nevertheless, several beta cell developmental transcription factors have been found to be important in the maintenance of its functional identity during the postnatal stage.
      Nkx2.2 is a transcription factor that is critical for the development and differentiation of beta cells both in mice and humans. In adults, Nkx2.2 is expressed in the entire beta cell population. However, due to the perinatal lethality of the Nkx2.2 null mice, the study of its function in adult beta cells has remained elusive. For my dissertation work, I explored the function and mechanism of action of Nkx2.2 in the adult beta cell. I deleted Nkx2.2 specifically in beta cells during their maturation and in adults. Deletion of Nkx2.2 in beta cells caused rapid onset of diabetes due to the loss of insulin and the down-regulation of many beta cell functional genes. Concomitantly, Nkx2.2-deficient beta cells acquired non-beta cell endocrine features, resulting in populations of completely reprogrammed cells and bi-hormonal cells that have hybrid endocrine cell morphological characteristics.
      Molecular analysis in mouse and human islets revealed that Nkx2.2 is a conserved master regulatory protein that controls the acquisition and maintenance of a functional monohormonal beta cell identity by directly activating critical beta cell genes, and actively repressing genes that specify the alternative islet endocrine cell lineages. This study demonstrates the highly volatile nature of the beta cell; it is necessary to actively maintain expression of genes involved in beta cell function, but to also maintain repression of closely related endocrine gene programs. These findings have potential applications that include the optimization of iPS cell differentiation protocols that aim to differentiate functional beta cells that remain safely locked into that identity state; as well as in future therapies that attempt to restore beta cells into a functional state.

 Definition. Evans (1955) misidentified Pamphila derisor Mabille, 1891 (type locality Venezuela), as detailed above. Hence the taxon Evans identified as Decinea decinea derisor is left without a name. Evans (1955) provided its description in a form of identification key, which is adopted here: this new species keys to L.11.2.(a) in Evans (1955). Differs from its relatives by the lack of side process on aedeagus, two separate pale spots in forewing cell, in males, lower spot smaller and typically opaque, usually an opaque small spot in dorsal forewing cell CuA 2 -1A+2A, and ventrally ferruginous background with some ochreous overscaling, but not as extensive as in Decinea huasteca (H. Freeman, 1969) (type locality Mexico: San Luis Potosi), and less prominent dorsal ochreous overscaling than in the latter species. The holotype, male is from Colombia: Bogota, illustrated in Fig. 12a,b and deposited in the Natural History Museum, London, UK (BMNH), its genitalia are prepared on a mini-slide 936 pinned under the specimen. In addition to this genitalia slide, the holotype bears the following three rectangular printed labels: || Bogota, | Colombia. | Druce Coll. || Druce Coll. | ex | Kaden Coll. || Godman-Salvin | Coll. 1913.—2. ||. Scales are removed from the left forewing of the holotype. Other specimens from the “derisor” series in BNMH curated by Evans may include additional species to be studied and no paratypes are chosen. The holotype identification label will be mailed to curators of the collection to be placed on the holotype.
 Etymology. Currently, there are no valid Hesperiinae taxa named for the country of Colombia, which is one of the centers of Hesperiidae diversity. This omission is corrected here. The name is a feminine adjective.

description: This opinion article explores the critical and often overlooked role of flight attendants beyond traditional in-flight service. Drawing from the author's personal experience with leading international airlines like Qatar Airways and Tigerair, it reveals how flight attendants function as essential safety professionals, crisis managers, and cultural mediators in the highly complex environment of modern aviation. The article highlights the value of technical training, international exposure, multilingualism, and accumulated flight experience in enhancing both passenger safety and airline operational efficiency. The piece advocates for the recognition of flight attendants as strategic assets in aviation, particularly in high-stakes scenarios, such as emergency landings and multinational passenger interactions.

description: This report deals with some exploratory excavations carried out under the auspices of the Battle and District Historical Society in 1959 and 1960 in an area where, as far as can be ascertained, no previous discoveries of Romano-British remains have been recorded. The building remains found were unimportant; but associated with them in a small space were many objects, dating mostly from the middle of the 1st century to about the middle of the 3rd century, which are not easily matched elsewhere. They have been housed in the museum of the B. and D.H.S at Langton House, Battle. This report also includes the evidence obtained that no estuary could have existed at Bodiam at the time of occupation of the site, as in later times; and also fresh evidence on the course of the Roman road. The fact that such a small area yielded so much gives promise of rich reward if this part of the Rother Valley, particularly the other sites indicated, could be thoroughly examined at a later date. Although there have been preliminary reports, the publication of details has been delayed until now by the closure for two years of the B. and D.H.S. museum, and by many other unforseen circumstances.

description: [Abridged] The majority of stars form in binary or higher order systems. The Class 0 protostellar system IRAS16293-2422 contains two protostars, 'A' and 'B', separated by ~600 au and embedded in a single, 10^4 au scale envelope. Their relative evolutionary stages have been debated. We aim to study the relation and interplay between the two protostars A and B at spatial scales of 60 to ~1000 au. We selected molecular gas line transitions of CO, H2CO, HCN, CS, SiO, and CCH from the ALMA-PILS spectral imaging survey (329-363 GHz) and used them as tracers of kinematics, density, and temperature in the IRAS16293-2422 system. The angular resolution of the PILS data set allows us to study these quantities at a resolution of 0.5 arcsec (60 au [..]). Line-of-sight velocity maps of both optically thick and optically thin molecular lines reveal: (i) new manifestations of previously known outflows emanating from protostar A; (ii) a kinematically quiescent bridge of dust and gas spanning between the two protostars, with an inferred density between 4 10^4 and 3 10^7 cm^-3; and (iii) a separate, straight filament seemingly connected to protostar B seen only in CCH, with a flat kinematic signature. Signs of various outflows, all emanating from source A, are evidence of high-density and warmer gas; none of them coincide spatially and kinematically with the bridge. We hypothesize that the bridge arc is a remnant of filamentary substructure in the protostellar envelope material from which protostellar sources A and B have formed. One particular morphological structure appears to be due to outflowing gas impacting the quiescent bridge material. The continuing lack of clear outflow signatures unambiguously associated to protostar B and the vertically extended shape derived for its disk-like structure lead us to conclude that source B may be in an earlier evolutionary stage than source A.

description: This dissertation qualitatively explores 55 Thai 4th grade students, a teacher, and 7 community members from a low-income public school in Bangkok, Thailand in order to develop a design framework for creating school-based maker experiences that are culturally relevant to lower income Thai students. Co-teaching and co designing a two-year design-based research project named, “Little Builders,” I worked with a local science teacher to engage the students in a constructionist learning experience that involved designing and building social innovations to solve problems in their community. I propose the Culturally Relevant Constructionist Design framework as a way to (1) create constructionist learning experiences that align with students’ values and goals, and (2) engage important people in the students’ lives, such as teachers and community members, in the process of making. Designing the learning experience for Thai students from 2017-2019, I draw from the life and work of the late King Bhumibol of Thailand. For 70 years, King Bhumibol was a unifying figure in Thailand and widely admired as “The Developer King” (Nicholas & Dominic, 2011) as he dedicated his life to creating inventions for the good of the country. Students “followed in the King’s footsteps” by making inventions to better their community in the midst of a nation-wide mourning period after the King’s death in 2016. This dissertation builds upon the literature from constructionism, sociocultural views of learning and identity development, community-centered making, and culturally relevant pedagogy. Little Builders provided opportunities for students, teachers, and community members to build projects and relationships. They learned about making while also learning more about each other and about how to support one another. During the Little Builders project, teachers and community members explicitly expressed new appreciation and awareness of students’ skills and strengths, gradually moving away from deficit narratives. Similarly, the students saw themselves as someone who could create and invent while helping others.
The Use of GIS at the Line Creek Mine

Year: 2009

description: At the Line Creek Mine, the use of a Geographical Information System (GIS) started as a spin-off from a research program that was attempting to determine the net impact of the mine on wildlife habitat. The project involved manually overlaying the mine disturbance on top of the mine's 1:20,000 Wildlife Habitat Capability biophysical map. Upon doing this, it quickly became evident that we needed to step up from the use of overlays and planimeters to that of a GIS. In 1997, Line Creek started using the PAMAP Software of PCI Solutions. Initially we started with the importation of the Wildlife Habitat Capability biophysical map. However, we quickly expanded the database to include the Vegetation biophysical map; the Terrain Assessment biophysical map; original topography; present day topography; mine plans; bighorn sheep telemetry data; fish telemetry data; sampling data et cetera. With the extensive database, Line Creek now is in a very good position to begin assessing the impact of the mine on the environment from a number of different perspectives. This paper will summarize the trials and tribulations of working with GIS and put forward a few of the resulting products.

description: It is shown that a potential consisting of three Dirac's delta functions on the line with disappearing distances can give rise to the discontinuity in wave functions with the proper renormalization of the delta function strength. This can be used as a building block, along with the usual Dirac's delta, to construct the most general three-parameter family of point interactions, which allow both discontinuity and asymmetry of the wave function, as the zero-size limit of self-adjoint local operators in one-dimensional quantum mechanics. Experimental realization of the Neumann boundary is discussed.

description: We consider a class of random processes on graphs that include the discrete Bak-Sneppen (DBS) process and the several versions of the contact process (CP), with a focus on the former. These processes are parametrized by a probability $0\leq p \leq 1$ that controls a local update rule. Numerical simulations reveal a phase transition when $p$ goes from 0 to 1. Analytically little is known about the phase transition threshold, even for one-dimensional chains. In this article we consider a power-series approach based on representing certain quantities, such as the survival probability or the expected number of steps per site to reach the steady state, as a power-series in $p$. We prove that the coefficients of those power series stabilize as the length $n$ of the chain grows. This is a phenomenon that has been used in the physics community but was not yet proven. We show that for local events $A,B$ of which the support is a distance $d$ apart we have $\mathrm{cor}(A,B) = \mathcal{O}(p^d)$. The stabilization allows for the (exact) computation of coefficients for arbitrary large systems which can then be analyzed using the wide range of existing methods of power series analysis.

description: Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) processed components usually exhibit reduced fatigue performance owing to unavoidable defects at multiple scales, especially when the loading direction is parallel to the building direction. In this study, hot isostatic pressing (HIP) was applied to the L-PBFed Al-4.74Mg-0.70Sc-0.32Zr (wt.%) alloy to enhance the fatigue properties with a focus on the defect (porosities and inclusions) effects, compared with the direct-aged samples. The results demonstrated that HIP induced inconspicuous microstructural effects, but it healed the porosities and promoted oxidation. Therefore, the fatigue crack initiation transformed the oxide-associated porosity into an oxide, with a significant fatigue strength improvement. This study highlights the critical importance of oxides in fatigue performance.

description: Herschel observations of interstellar clouds support a paradigm for star formation in which filaments play a central role. One of the foundations of this paradigm is the finding, based on studies of the radial column density profiles, that nearby filaments share a common inner width of ~0.1 pc. The existence of a characteristic filament width has been questioned, however, as it seems inconsistent with the scale-free nature of the power spectrum of cloud images. In an effort to clarify the origin of this apparent discrepancy, we examined the power spectra of the Herschel 250 micron images of the Polaris, Aquila, and Taurus clouds and performed a number of simple numerical experiments by injecting synthetic filaments in both the Herschel images and synthetic background images. We constructed several populations of synthetic filaments of 0.1 pc width with realistic area filling factors ($A_{\rm fil}$) and distributions of column density contrasts ($δ_c$). After adding synthetic filaments to the Herschel images, we re-computed the image power spectra and compared the results with the original, essentially scale-free power spectra. We used the $χ^2$ variance of the residuals between the best power-law fit and the output power spectrum as a diagnostic of the presence of a significant departure from a scale-free power spectrum. We found that the $χ^2$ variance depends primarily on the combined parameter $δ_c^2\, A_{\rm fil}$. Analysis of the real Herschel data shows that the observed filamentary structure contributes only 1/5 of the power in the power spectra at angular frequencies where an effect of the characteristic filament width is expected. We conclude that the scale-free power spectra of Herschel images remain consistent with the existence of a characteristic filament width ~0.1 pc and do not invalidate the conclusions drawn from studies of the filament profiles.

E10 and a "small tension expansion" of M Theory

description: A formal ``small tension'' expansion of D=11 supergravity near a spacelike singularity is shown to be equivalent, at least up to 30th order in height, to a null geodesic motion in the infinite dimensional coset space E10/K(E10) where K(E10) is the maximal compact subgroup of the hyperbolic Kac-Moody group E10(R). For the proof we make use of a novel decomposition of E10 into irreducible representations of its SL(10,R) subgroup. We explicitly show how to identify the first four rungs of the E10 coset fields with the values of geometric quantities constructed from D=11 supergravity fields and their spatial gradients taken at some comoving spatial point.

description: Die Spektrale Stochastische Finite Elemente Methode (SSFEM) ist eine der bedeutendsten Verfahren zur Lösung partieller Differentialgleichungen mit stochastischen Parametern. In ihrer klassischen Form unterliegt sie dem Fluch der Dimension. Viele verschiedene Techniken wurden jüngst entwickelt, um dagegen zu steuern und so die Anwendbarkeit der SSFEM auch für hochdimensionale Probleme zu gewährleisten. Diese Techniken umfassen Niedrig-Rang Repräsentationen und eine Reduktion des Lösungsraumes. Wir präsentieren ein Verfahren mit einem schrittweisen Rang-1-Update basierend auf der Varitationsformulierung des Problems. Die resultierende Niedrig-Rang Repräsentation ist hinsichtlich der Energieminimierung zu gegebenem Rang nicht notwendigerweise optimal. Dieses Verfahren wird erweitert um eine optionale Anpassung des Lösungsraumes und der Möglichkeit eine optimale Niedrig-Rang Approximation durchzuführen.
description: The Spectral Stochastic Finite Element Method (SSFEM) has become one of the most interesting methods in solving partial differential equations with stochastic parameters. In its classical form it underlies the Curse of Dimension. Many different techniques have been developed recently to go against that curse and consequently to make SSFEM applicable for high dimensional problems. These techniques include Low-Rank approaches and solution space reductions. We present a rank-one update scheme based on the variational formulation of the problem. The resulting Low-Rank representation is not necessarily an optimal one with respect to the minimum energy at the given rank. This scheme is extended to an optional solution space adaption and the possibility to compute an optimal decomposition.
