A building centric urban digital twin for resiliency planning
Creators: name: Raja, Prarthana
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2025

description: Digital twin technology, as an emerging modeling and simulation paradigm, holds significant potential for advancing flood risk management. However, the development of digital twins for flood mitigation relies on accurate and reliable building asset data as a foundational layer. Acquiring such data for numerous buildings remains challenging due to uncertainties in existing sources and methods.This study focuses on the built environment data layer of the digital twin, emphasizing the identification of spatial structural indicators critical for flood mitigation. It evaluates potential data sources and technologies, assessing their quality in terms of uncertainty, bias, and equity. The research begins by identifying key spatial structural indicators and corresponding capture methods, forming the basis for a framework to address data gaps, reduce uncertainties, and enhance completeness. This framework supports the creation of a robust urban digital twin to improve flood resilience at a city-wide scale.The study introduces Levels of Detail (LoDs) as a method for abstracting complex building information into essential attributes, simplifying data management and analysis within the digital twin framework. It categorizes spatial indicators essential for flood risk assessment at varying levels of complexity and employs Bayesian linear regression to evaluate the impact of LoDs on flood mitigation decisions. A case study on Hurricane Ida in Manville, New Jersey, demonstrates the feasibility of this approach, showing improved prediction accuracy with higher LoDs.To address the challenge of acquiring critical yet costly data, such as first-floor elevation (FFE), the study leverages inferencing and imputation techniques. Inferencing is applied by classifying buildings based on architectural typologies and utilizing data libraries to estimate missing FFE values. Additionally, geostatistical imputation is employed to predict the FFE of buildings where data collection is unavailable. These techniques significantly enhance the representation of urban structures in the digital twin, mitigating data acquisition challenges while ensuring accuracy across diverse urban and coastal environments. In summary, this research presents a systematic approach to developing a building-centric urban digital twin for flood resilience planning. By integrating spatial indicators, LoD abstraction, inferencing and imputation strategies, it enables accurate representation of urban structures, supports informed decision-making, and facilitates proactive measures to enhance resilience against flooding.

description: In 1990 the Australian Government relaxed restrictions on the importation of pigmeat from Canada. In response to declining producer prices and their consequent effect on profitability, the Australian pig industry raised concerns with the Australian Government that the decline in producer price was due to lower priced imports from Canada and this was seriously injuring the industry. This paper attempts to identify the factors affecting changes in the market equilibrium of the pig industry in Australia. The results suggest that prior to 1990 pig producer prices were relatively stable and producers could be confident of being able to predict market movements. After 1990 there is a structural break which has induced volatility in pig producer prices, not only making producer decisions more difficult, but removing any long-run equilibrium relationship. Unlike previous studies, this report has found a significant relationship between import volumes and import prices and domestic production and domestic prices at all levels of the marketing chain except retail prices. The results indicate that import volumes and prices do not have a negative effect on retail prices. This implies that the assumed benefits of trade liberalisation, resulting from a reduction in consumer price, have not occurred.

description: Despite the existence of over 2.5 million Quarter Horses in the U.S., there has heretofore been little information available on the structural parameters underpinning the Quarter Horse market. In this paper, we compiled a unique data set, merging together information on registrations from the American Quarter Horse Association and price data from a large regional horse auction. The data is used to estimate the supply of yearling Quarter Horses using biological production lags to identify the key structural parameters; we find an own-price elasticity of short- and long-run supply of 0.32 and 0.27. An inverse demand function is also estimated, and after accounting for endogeneity, we find a price flexibility of own-price yearling demand of -0.71. Results reveal that demand shifted inward following the horse processing ban, resulting in deadweight annual losses of over $4 million in the yearling Quarter Horse market.
Revenge in US Public Support for War against Iraq

description: © 2017 The Author. To better understand how desires to avenge the September 11 terror attacks affected US public support for the 2003 Iraq War, we integrate data from two uncoordinated surveys-one measuring revenge motivations and the other beliefs about Iraqi complicity-completed by overlapping samples drawn from the same online panel. Citizens who mistakenly blamed Iraq for 9/11 were more likely to say that going to war would satisfy their desires for revenge, which in turn predicted greater war support, controlling for political orientations and the perceived security incentives and costs of war. But a substantial proportion of those who said Iraq was not involved in 9/11 also expected war to satisfy desires for revenge, suggesting that a revenge "spillover" effect also contributed to war support. These findings help explain how President George W. Bush was able to bring the nation to war against Iraq, testify to the importance of emotion and moral motivation in public opinion, and demonstrate the utility of integrating data from independent online panel surveys.

These interactions can be between the centres of mass, the mid-points or end-points of the polymers. We also show how to extend these methods to polymers in poor solvents and mixtures of polymers. Treating polymers as soft colloids can greatly speed up the simulation of complex many-polymer systems, including polymer-colloid mixtures.

description: 21 cm intensity mapping has arisen as a powerful probe of the high-redshift universe, but its potential is limited by extremely bright foregrounds and high source confusion. In this Letter, we propose a new analysis which can help solve both problems. From the combination of an intensity map with an overlapping galaxy survey we construct a new one-point statistic which is unbiased by foregrounds and contains information left out of conventional analyses. We show that our method can measure the HI mass function with unprecedented precision using observations similar to recent 21 cm detections.

description: Coherence properties and wavelength of light sources are indispensable for optical coherence microscopy/tomography as they greatly influence the signal to noise ratio, axial resolution, and penetration depth of the system. In the present letter, we investigated the longitudinal spatial coherence properties of the pseudo-thermal light source (PTS) as a function of spot size at the diffuser plane, which is controlled by translating microscope objective lens towards or away from the diffuser plane. The axial resolution of PTS is found to be maximum ~ 13 microns for the beam spot size of 3.5 mm at the diffuser plane. The change in the axial resolution of the system as the spot size is increased at the diffuser plane is further confirmed by performing experiments on standard gauge blocks of height difference of 15 microns. Thus, by appropriately choosing the beam spot size at the diffuser plane, any monochromatic laser light source depending on the biological window can be utilized to obtain high axial-resolution with large penetration depth and speckle-free tomographic images of multilayered biological specimens irrespective of the source temporal coherence length. In addition, PTS could be an attractive alternative light source for achieving high axial-resolution without needing chromatic aberration corrected optics and dispersion-compensation mechanism, unlike conventional setups.

description: The apparent divergence between producer and retail prices in the presence of a marketing chain is a common facet in agricultural industries. There is evidence to suggest that changes in producer prices are not passed on fully to changes in retail price, especially in the situation where producer prices are in decline. In the presence of market power reductions in producer prices are not reflected in reductions in retail prices but increases in producer prices are immediately reflected in increases in retail prices. Asymmetric price transmission will result from situations where firms are facing different elasticities for their inputs and outputs. This paper looks at the Australian meat industry, in particular pigmeat, and attempts to identify whether the presence of marketing margins results in asymmetric price transmission between producer and retail prices. Error correction models suggest that the speed of adjustment of retail prices to changes in producer prices is very slow, indicating that market power in terms of intertemporal price averaging exists. When close substitutes, such as beef, chicken, and lamb are taken into consideration it seems that retail prices of pork are sensitive to changes in those retail prices, specifically changes in retail beef prices. The speed of adjustment of the retail price of pork is particularly fast when retail prices of beef are taken into consideration. This implies that pork is competitive with beef at the retail level, indicating horizontal competition exists but not vertical.

description: In recent studies, the potential of hyperspectral sensors for the analysis of plant–pathogen interactions was expanded to the ultraviolet range (UV; 200–380 nm) to monitor stress processes in plants. A hyperspectral imaging set‐up was established to highlight the influence of early plant–pathogen interactions on secondary plant metabolites. In this study, the plant–pathogen interactions of three different barley lines inoculated with Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei (Bgh, powdery mildew) were investigated. One susceptible genotype (cv. Ingrid, wild type) and two resistant genotypes (Pallas 01, Mla1‐ and Mla12‐based resistance and Pallas 22, mlo5‐based resistance) were used. During the first 5 days after inoculation (dai) the plant reflectance patterns were recorded and plant metabolites relevant in host–pathogen interactions were studied in parallel. Hyperspectral measurements in the UV range revealed that a differentiation between barley genotypes inoculated with Bgh is possible, and distinct reflectance patterns were recorded for each genotype. The extracted and analysed pigments and flavonoids correlated with the spectral data recorded. A classification of noninoculated and inoculated samples with deep learning revealed that a high performance can be achieved with self‐attention networks. The subsequent feature importance identified wavelengths as the most important for the classification, and these were linked to pigments and flavonoids. Hyperspectral imaging in the UV range allows the characterization of different resistance reactions, can be linked to changes in secondary plant metabolites, and has the advantage of being a non‐invasive method. It therefore enables a greater understanding of plant reactions to biotic stress, as well as resistance reactions.
Formalizing Habit Evolution: A Recursive Symbolic Model Using Alpay Algebra

description: This paper presents a formal application of Alpay Algebra, a symbolic-recursive mathematical system introduced in 2025, to the modeling of habit formation. It demonstrates how recursive state transformations—via operators like the partial fold can model the shift from externally-driven resistance to internally-stabilized behavior. The specific problem solved is a symbolic convergence case: modeling the formation of a daily exercise routine over recursive steps until symbolic alignment is reached.

 

While this work does not address traditional continuous-time differential systems or physical dynamical models, it introduces a novel formalism for recursive identity transitions and symbolic behavioral convergence. The model works entirely in discrete symbolic space and is best interpreted as a framework for cognitive dynamics, habit engineering, and symbolic AI behavior modeling.

 

This is not a control-theoretic Lyapunov solution, nor a general optimization algorithm, but a first step toward a new class of problems: recursive symbolic cognition and formal identity evolution.

description: The cost-price squeeze in dairy farming has forced farmers to become more competitive in the market place. This has primarily occurred through increased herd size and productivity gains associated with labour-saving technology. The cost and revenue structures and changes in the contribution of key dairy production inputs to total cash expenditure and farm income over the 1972/73-1996/97 period were analysed. Data were taken from the annual publications of the Livestock Improvement Corporation and the New Zealand Dairy Board. Implications for the future growth of dairy farms and the industry are drawn from the analysis.
Evaluating the strength and stretch of Orange Honeysuckle (Lonicera ciliosa)

Year: 2011

description: Orange Honeysuckle (Lonicera ciliosa) vines were supposedly used to build suspension bridges by indigenous groups in British Columbia (Turner, 1990; Moerman, 1998). To verify the possibility of this claim, we measured the strength and stretch of Orange Honeysuckle vines. The strength was measured until breaking point for various vine diameters, and the stretch was measured at known intervals of mass addition up to 6.2 kg. From the stretch measurements, the Young’s modulus was determined and found to be smaller than that of conventional building materials. Overall, the strength and stretch found would be sufficient for the construction of suspension bridges based on the well-documented bridge-building method of the Incas of South America.

description: The aim of this paper is to discuss some applications of the relation between Seiberg-Witten theory and two natural norms defined on the first cohomology group of a closed 3-manifold N - the Alexander and Thurston norms. We start by giving a "new" proof of McMullen's inequality between these norms, and then use these norms to study two problems related to symplectic 4-manifolds of the form S^1xN. First we prove that - as long as N is irreducible - the unit balls of these norms are related in a way similar to the case of fibered 3-manifolds, supporting the conjecture that N is fibered. Second, we provide the first example of a 2-cohomology class on a symplectic manifold that lies in the positive cone and satisfies Taubes' "more constraints", but cannot be represented by a symplectic form.

description: © 2017, © The Author(s) 2017. People vary in the extent to which they imbue attitudes with moral conviction, and this variation is consequential. Yet we know relatively little about what makes people’s feelings about a given attitude object transform from a relatively nonmoral preference to a moral conviction. In this article, we review evidence from two experiments and a field study that sheds some light on the processes that lead to attitude moralization. This research explored the roles of incidental and integral affect, cognitive factors such as recognition of harm, and whether attitude-moralization processes can occur outside conscious awareness or require some level of conscious deliberation. The findings present some challenges to contemporary theories that emphasize the roles of intuition and harm and indicate that more research designed to better understand moralization processes is needed.

description: Ventral hernia repair is one of the most common general surgical operations. Recent technological advancements have seen the rapid adoption of different techniques, such as robotic ventral hernia repair. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the current evidence-base on robotic ventral hernia repair to inform decision-making regarding the management of this common problem. Robotic surgery offers clinical benefits compared to the open approach through reduced intraoperative and wound complication rates, length of stay, and readmission. It is clinically comparable to the laparoscopic approach, but it is associated with significantly higher costs and longer operative time. There currently lacks strong evidence to support its use. Higher quality, long-term data is required to improve our understanding of the role of robotic surgery in ventral hernia repair.

For small initial correlations between the neurons and the patterns it leads to optimal retrieval performance. For binary neurons, Q=2, and biased patterns we recover the Hopfield model. For three-state neurons, Q=3, we find back the recently introduced Blume-Emery-Griffiths network hamiltonian. We derive its phase diagram and compare it with those of related three-state models. We find that the retrieval region is the largest.

description: Generalised travel-cost models were specified for the repeatable measurement of the economic value of recreation in Parks. Valuations of recreational use have been undertaken for approximately 30 metropolitan parks in Melbourne and 35 National Parks and other sites in rural Victoria. Zonal models were used and the distance ranges for each zone were set as variable parameters in a spreadsheet model. The distance from each postcode in Australia to the park was calculated using the longitude and latitude for the particular park, and for the centroid of each postcode. This specification enabled us to observe that the choice of distance ranges for each zone can have a substantial impact on the goodness of fit and on the implied level of consumer surplus per visit. The study has not been finalised and consequently few results are presented here. Nevertheless, the process of developing a generalised model and the preliminary results have caused the authors to be concerned about three aspects of travel-cost modelling, namely: 1. the allocation of consumer surplus between multiple destinations for those visitors who visited more than one destination during the trip that included the Park in question; 2. the choice of distance ranges for each postcode zone; and 3. the choice of functional form. Different approaches to each of these matters changes substantially the results obtained from the travel-cost modelling. The second aspect (distance ranges) appears not to have been addressed previously in the literature, and our approach to the first aspect (multiple destinations) may offer a new approach. Comments would be appreciated, particularly since this Study is yet to be completed. Readers are encouraged to email us: Economists@readsturgess.com.au

The error terms provide information about the appropriate model form to be analysed in at least three important areas. First, specifications of nested logit models, which are useful for improving model validity, are based on allowing correlation to occur within (but not between) the error terms for choices grouped together in nests. Second, the error terms for separate, but similar CM experiments can be used to generate ratios of the scale parameters that are confounded with individual model parameters. This enables the results from different models to be compared, and identifies choice models that have larger amounts of inherent variability. Third, by identifying the error terms associated with successive choices in CM experiments, it is possible to search for learning and fatigue effects that might be displayed by respondents. A series of these disaggregation exercises have been performed on CM experiments dealing with rainforest valuation to determine where learning and fatigue effects might be present.

description: Gas and dust properties in the Chamaeleon molecular cloud complex have been investigated with emission lines from atomic hydrogen (HI) and 12CO molecule, dust optical depth at 353 GHz ($τ_{353}$), and $J$-band infrared extinction ($A_{J}$). We have found a scatter correlation between the HI integrated intensity ($W_{\rm HI}$) and $τ_{353}$ in the Chamaeleon region. The scattering has been examined in terms of possible large optical depth in HI emission ($τ_{\rm HI}$) using a total column density ($N_{\rm H}$) model based on $τ_{353}$. A nonlinear relation of $τ_{353}$ with the $\sim$1.2 power of $A_{J}$ has been found in opaque regions ($A_{J}$ $\gtrsim$ 0.3 mag), which may indicate dust evolution effect. If we apply this nonlinear relation to the $N_{\rm H}$ model (i.e., $N_{\rm H} \propto τ_{353}^{1/1.2}$) allowing arbitrary $τ_{\rm HI}$, the model curve reproduces well the $W_{\rm HI}$-$τ_{353}$ scatter correlation, suggesting optically thick HI ($τ_{\rm HI} \sim$1.3) extended around the molecular clouds. Based on the correlations between the CO integrated intensity and the $N_{\rm H}$ model, we have then derived the CO-to-H$_{2}$ conversion factor ($X_{\rm CO}$) on $\sim$1.5$^{\circ}$ scales (corresponding to $\sim$4 persec) and found spatial variations of $X_{\rm CO}$ $\sim$(0.5-3)$\times$10$^{20}$ cm$^{-2}$ K$^{-1}$ km$^{-1}$ s across the cloud complex, possibly depending on the radiation field inside or surrounding the molecular clouds. These gas properties found in the Chamaeleon region are discussed through a comparison with other local molecular cloud complexes.

The Kr2Det project: Search for mass-3 state contribution |U_{e3}|^2 to the electron neutrino using a one reactor - two detector oscillation experiment at Krasnoyarsk underground site

description: The main physical goal of the project is to search with reactor antineutrinos for small mixing angle oscillations in the atmospheric mass parameter region around Δm^{2}_{atm} ~ 2.5 10^{-3} eV^2 in order to find the element U_{e3} of the neutrino mixing matrix or to set a new more stringent constraint (U_{e3} is the contribution of mass-3 state to the electron neutrino flavor state). To achieve this we propose a "one reactor - two detector" experiment: two identical antineutrino spectrometers with $\sim$50 ton liquid scintillator targets located at ~100 m and ~1000 m from the Krasnoyarsk underground reactor (~600 mwe). In no-oscillation case ratio of measured positron spectra of the \bar{ν_e} + p \to e^{+} + n reaction is energy independent. Deviation from a constant value of this ratio is the oscillation signature. In this scheme results do not depend on the exact knowledge of the reactor power, nu_e spectra, burn up effects, target volumes and, which is important, the backgrounds can periodically be measured during reactor OFF periods. In this letter we present the Krasnoyarsk reactor site, give a schematic description of the detectors, calculate the neutrino detection rates and estimate the backgrounds. We also outline the detector monitoring and calibration procedures, which are of a key importance. We hope that systematic uncertainties will not accede 0.5% and the sensitivity U^{2}_{e3} ~4 10^{-3} (at Δm^{2} = 2.5 10^{-3} eV^2) can be achieved.

Perfect spin filtering by symmetry in molecular junctions

description: Obtaining highly spin-polarized currents in molecular junctions is crucial and desirable for nanoscale spintronics devices. Motivated by our recent symmetry-based theoretical argument for complete blocking of one spin conductance channel in atomic-scale junctions [A. Smogunov and Y. J. Dappe, Nano Lett. 15, 3552 (2015)], we explore the generality of the proposed mechanism and the degree of achieved spin-polarized current for various ferromagnetic electrodes (Ni, Co, Fe) and two different molecules, quaterthiophene and p-quaterphenyl. A simple analysis of the spin-resolved local density of states of a free electrode allowed us to identify the Fe(110) as the most optimal electrode, providing perfect spin filtering and high conductance at the same time. These results are confirmed by $ab$ $initio$ quantum transport calculations and are similar to those reported previously for model junctions. It is found, moreover, that the distortion of the p-quaterphenyl molecule plays an important role, reducing significantly the overall conductance.

description: The analysis of ring images produced by muons in an Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) provides a powerful and precise method to calibrate the IACT optical throughput and monitor its optical point-spread function (PSF). First proposed by the Whipple collaboration in the early 90's, this method has been refined by the so-called second generation of IACT experiments: H.E.S.S., MAGIC and VERITAS. We review here the progress made with these instruments and investigate the applicability of the method as the primary throughput calibration method for the different telescope types forming the future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). We find several additional systematic effects not yet taken into account by previous authors and propose several new analytical methods to include these in the analysis. Slight modifications in hardware and analysis need to be made to ensure that such a calibration works as accurately as required for the CTA. We derive analytic estimates for the expected muon data rates for optical throughput calibration, camera pixel flat-fielding and monitoring of the optical PSF. The achievable statistical and systematic uncertainties of the method are also assessed.

description: Bell-inequality checks constitute a probe of entanglement -- given a source of entangled particles, their violation are a signature of the non-local nature of quantum mechanics. Here, we study a solid state device producing pairs of entangled electrons, a superconductor emitting Cooper pairs properly split into the two arms of a normal-metallic fork with the help of appropriate filters. We formulate Bell-type inequalities in terms of current-current cross-correlators, the natural quantities measured in mesoscopic physics; their violation provides evidence that this device indeed is a source of entangled electrons.

Strain-stress study of AlxGa1-xN/AlN heterostructures on c-plane sapphire and related optical properties

description: This work presents a systematic study of stress and strain of AlxGa1-xN/AlN with composition ranging from GaN to AlN, grown on a c-plane sapphire by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, using synchrotron radiation high-resolution X-ray diffraction and reciprocal space mapping. The c-plane of the AlxGa1-xN epitaxial layers exhibits compressive strain, while the a-plane exhibits tensile strain. The biaxial stress and strain are found to increase with increasing Al composition, although the lattice mismatch between the AlxGa1-xN and the buffer layer AlN gets smaller. A reduction in the lateral coherence lengths and an increase in the edge and screw dislocations are seen as the AlxGa1-xN composition is varied from GaN to AlN, exhibiting a clear dependence of the crystal properties of AlxGa1-xN on the Al content. The bandgap of the epitaxial layers is slightly lower than predicted value due to a larger tensile strain effect on the a-axis compared to the compressive strain on the c-axis. Raman characteristics of the AlxGa1-xN samples exhibit a shift in the phonon peaks with the Al composition. The effect of strain is also discussed on the optical phonon energies of the epitaxial layers. The techniques discussed here can be used to study other similar materials.
