Micro-regeneration of public space in marginal areas: comparing processes in Guatemala and Peru
Creators: name: Giofrè, Francesca
name: Dreifuss-Serrano, Cristina
Publisher: name: TECHNE - Journal of Technology for Architecture and Environment
Year: 2020

description: The article reviews and compares two cases of participative design processes in Central and South America neighbourhoods: Mixco (Guatemala) and Alto Peru, Chorrillos (Peru). Both processes aim for a micro-regeneration in public open spaces, involving students, faculties, local communities and other stakeholders, through data analysis, interviews, surveys and visits. The existing public spaces created without planning and intervention of professional architects, and not following official regulations have become realms for social life. They need particular attention for achieving social equity and inclusion. Pedagogically, participatory design increases the relevance of teaching experiences in architecture schools worldwide, but it shows some limits.

description: Electroencephalography (EEG) has been used to forecast seizures with varying success. There is an increasing interest to use electrocardiogram (ECG) to help with seizure forecasting. The neural and cardiovascular systems may exhibit critical slowing, which is measured by an increase in variance and autocorrelation of the system, when change from a normal state to an ictal state. To forecast seizures, the variance and autocorrelation of long-Term continuous EEG and ECG data from 16 patients were used for analysis. The average period of recordings was 161.9 h, with an average of 9 electrographic seizures in an individual patient. The relationship between seizure onset times and phases of variance and autocorrelation in EEG and ECG data was investigated. The results of forecasting models using critical slowing features, seizure circadian features, and combined critical slowing and circadian features were compared using the receiver-operating characteristic curve. The results demonstrated that the best forecaster was patient-specific and the average area under the curve (AUC) of the best forecaster across patients was 0.68. In 50% of patients, circadian forecasters had the best performance. Critical slowing forecaster performed best in 19% of patients. Combined forecaster achieved the best performance in 31% of patients. The results of this study may help to advance the field of seizure forecasting and lead to the improved quality of life of people who suffer from epilepsy.

description: In this letter, we experimentally demonstrate an efficient scheme to regulate the behaviour of coupled nonlinear oscillators through dynamic control of their interaction. It is observed that introducing intermittency in the interaction term as a function of time or the system state, predictably alters the dynamics of the constituent oscillators. Choosing the nature of the interaction - attractive or repulsive, allows for either suppression of oscillations or stimulation of activity. Two parameters $Δ$ and $τ$, that reign the extent of interaction among subsystems are introduced. They serve as a harness to access the entire range of possible behaviours from fixed points to chaos. For fixed values of system parameters and coupling strength, changing $Δ$ and $τ$ offers fine control over the dynamics of coupled subsystems. We show this experimentally using coupled Chua's circuits and elucidate their behaviour for a range of coupling parameters through detailed numerical simulations.

description: Interchange reconnection is thought to play an important role in determining the dynamics and material composition of the slow solar wind that originates from near coronal hole boundaries. To explore the implications of this process we simulate the dynamic evolution of a solar wind stream along a newly-opened magnetic flux tube. The initial condition is composed of a piecewise continuous dynamic equilibrium in which the regions above and below the reconnection site are extracted from steady-state solutions along open and closed field lines. The initial discontinuity at the reconnection site is highly unstable and evolves as a Riemann problem, decomposing into an outward-propagating shock and inward-propagating rarefaction that eventually develop into a classic N-wave configuration. This configuration ultimately propagates into the heliosphere as a coherent structure and the entire system eventually settles to a quasi-steady wind solution. In addition to simulating the fluid evolution we also calculate the time-dependent non-equilibrium ionization of oxygen in real time in order to construct in situ diagnostics of the conditions near the reconnection site. This idealized description of the plasma dynamics along a newly-opened magnetic field line provides a baseline for predicting and interpreting the implications of interchange reconnection for the slow solar wind. Notably, the density and velocity within the expanding N-wave are generally enhanced over the ambient wind, as is the O7+/O6+ ionization ratio, which exhibits a discontinuity across the reconnection site that is transported by the flow and arrives later than the propagating N-wave.

description: In this paper, we examine the potential financial distress of Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) peculiarly known as shadow banks.While NBFCs aid to improve the economy, they also bring risks too. The finest way toregulate these dangers is by legitimate regulation. Risks differconditionally on theeconomic behaviorof NBFCs. The summons to contest for regulation is prominent to the rightsynchronizationflanked by the advantages and risk. To analyzethe financial danger &risk of the NBFCs,we considered whether the application of the Bankruptcy model Viz., Altman’s Z-Score, and Springate Z-Score can predict the potential bankruptcy and help the respective stakeholders in decision making.This is because a few companies were liquidated because of bankruptcy. Hence, the paper suggests the stakeholders, researchers,and regulatory authorities are watchful of the working of NBFCs.The result of the studydiscovers a high predictive potential for both Z-score models. Also, the findings make known that Altman’sZ-Score and Springate Z-Score model could beappreciated instrumental pointers for many users of financial statements to make the right decisions in regard to financial failure.

description: The paper analyzes the main regulatory experiments for Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS) in North America and Asia, comparing requirements for implementation and outcomes. It also underlines the need to make these spaces representative of the social and environmental complexity of a public place, presenting the original proposal to include in the exchange conditions regulations that guarantee ecosystem services equivalent to the loss for the community due to the bonus granted. The reflection leads to three main aspects for the edition of updated regulations: the construction of integrated networks of spaces, the consideration of the urban ecosystem and the meta-design of thematic cultural guidelines.

description: We present surface photometry and stellar kinematics of IC 3167, a dwarf galaxy hosting a lopsided weak bar and infalling into the Virgo cluster. We measured the bar radius and strength from broad-band imaging and bar pattern speed by applying the Tremaine-Weinberg method to stellar-absorption integral-field spectroscopy. We derived the ratio of the corotation radius to bar radius (R = 1.7 + 0.5 - 0.3) from stellar kinematics and bar pattern speed. The probability that the bar is rotating slowly is more than twice as likely as that the bar is fast. This allows us to infer that the formation of this bar was triggered by the ongoing interaction rather than to internal processes.

description: Downtown Project (DTP) is a private initiative to redevelop Downtown Las Vegas, in partnership with the public administration. Its creator and promoter is Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos, a company that sells shoes and accessories online. The idea behind DTP promotes the interaction in the urban fabric among people through “collisions”, “connectedness” and “co-learning”, in order to improve productivity, innovation and urban redevelopment within the urban fabric. Almost ten years later its beginning, the DTP, after an initial rapid development, has not yet fully achieved the objectives it had set itself, but it is an exemplary case study to define the emerging characteristics of the city’s alternative governance processes such as the public space.

description: This study focuses on the system of the Aurelian Walls with reference to Rome’s regulatory plan, which indicates its role as green infrastructure in service of the areas adjacent to the historical centre of Rome. A proposal is made to reinforce the system with an environmental focus as an opportunity to regenerate open spaces for interaction, using the mass of the walls as an environmental device as well as a memory and symbol of historical Rome. The objective is to reuse the wall as an urban contour line to generate humidity and thermal comfort by virtue of the insertion of green elements and functional devices in areas of the city pervaded by stone, cement, and asphalt.

description: We have investigated the variable stars in the field surrounding NGC 2355 based on the time-series photometric observation data. More than 3000 CCD frames were obtained in the V band spread over 13 nights with the Nanshan One-meter Wide-field Telescope. We have detected 88 variable stars, containing 72 new variable stars and 16 known variable stars. By analyzing these light curves, we classified the variable stars as follows: 26 eclipsing binaries, 52 pulsating stars, 4 rotating variables, and 6 unclear type variable stars for which their periods are much longer than the time baseline chosen. Employing Gaia DR2 parallax, kinematics, and photometry, the cluster membership of these variable stars were also analyzed for NGC 2355. In addition to the 11 variable members reported by Cantat-Gaudin et al. (2018), we identify 4 more variable member candidates located at the outer region of NGC 2355 and showed homogeneity in space positions and kinematic properties with the cluster members. The main physical parameters of NGC 2355 estimated from the two-color and color-magnitude diagrams are log(age/yr) = 8.9, E(B - V) = 0.24 mag, and [Fe/H] = - 0.07 dex.

description: We present sensitive $\rm NH_3$ (1,1)--(7,7) line images from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array toward successive shocks, which are associated with the blueshifted outflow lobe driven by the compact protobinary system L1157. Within a projection distance of 0.1 pc, our observations not only trace the quiescent and cold gas in the flattened envelope but also illustrate the complex physical and chemical processes that take place where the high-velocity jet impinges on its surrounding medium. Specifically, the $\rm NH_3$ ortho-to-para ratio is enhanced by a factor of 2--2.5 along the jet path, where the velocity offset between the line peak and the blueshifted wing reaches values as high as $\rm 10\,km\,s^{-1}$; it also shows a strong spatial correlation with the $\rm NH_3$ column density, which is enhanced to $\rm >10^{16}\,cm^{-2}$ toward the shock cavities. At a linear resolution of 1500 au, our refined temperature map from the seven $\rm NH_3$ lines shows a gradient from the warm B0 eastern cavity wall ($\rm >120\,K$) to the cool cavity B1 and the earlier shock B2 ($\rm <80\,K$), indicating shock heating.

description: A subnotificação é uma questão prevalente e impactante no dia a dia do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), influenciando negativamente as práticas de saúde e o perfil epidemiológico da população afetada. Especialmente nos casos de agravos de notificação compulsória, a subnotificação resulta na ausência de medidas preventivas adequadas, levando ao surgimento de novos casos e acarretando elevados custos ao sistema de saúde. Este problema é observado em todo o território nacional e representa um desafio significativo para o SUS. Há um consenso entre os pesquisadores de que a subnotificação ainda é uma questão presente e que requer investigações adicionais para uma compreensão mais aprofundada e para o desenvolvimento de estratégias eficazes de enfrentamento.

description: The Spanish Civil War was the first military conflict with air raids used against the civilian population. Franco’s subsequent dictatorship neglected these infrastructures and most of them were destroyed or buried. Nowadays many Spanish municipalities have decided to recover and place value on shelters as symbols of concord. Those that have survived have remained covered up and any trace of their original entrances was erased by new urban operations at the street level. This is the case of the Camí d’Onda Air-raid Shelter in Borriana, Spain, whose original entrance ramp completely disappeared in the mid-1940s. The authors took up the challenge of designing a new access which should meet many constraints which involved historical, social, technical and urban design aspects.

description: The properties of collisionless shocks, like the density jump, are usually derived from magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), where isotropic pressures are assumed. Yet, in a collisionless plasma, an external magnetic field can sustain a stable anisotropy. In \cite{BretJPP2018}, we devised a model for the kinetic history of the plasma through the shock front, allowing to self-consistently compute the downstream anisotropy, hence the density jump, in terms of the upstream parameters. This model dealt with the case of a parallel shock, where the magnetic field is normal to the front both in the upstream and the downstream. Yet, MHD also allows for shock solutions, the so-called switch-on solutions, where the field is normal to the front only in the upstream. This article consists in applying our model to these switch-on shocks. While MHD offers only 1 switch-on solution within a limited range of Alfvén Mach numbers, our model offers 2 kinds of solutions within a slightly different range of Alfvén Mach numbers. These 2 solutions are most likely the outcome of the intermediate and fast MHD shocks under our model. While the intermediate and fast shocks merge in MHD for the parallel case, they do not within our model. For simplicity, the formalism is restricted to non-relativistic shocks in pair plasmas where the upstream is cold.

Year: 2016

description: Ausgehend von Bourdieus berühmter Formel vom „Kleinen positionsbedingten Elend“ skizziert der Autor das spezielle Beratungskonzept der Betriebsseelsorge Aalen für Betroffene von Burnout. Die Beratung fokussiert nicht ausschließlich individuelle Auslöser der Krise, sondern nimmt Ursachen im Arbeitsumfeld in den Blick. Folgerichtig werden Lösungen nicht nur auf der Ebene des Individuums gesucht, sondern gezielt strukturelle Veränderungen angegangen. Betroffene bleiben dabei Akteure des Geschehens. Building on Bourdieu’s famous notes on „position-related misery“, the author sketches the advisory strategy for people affected by Burnout, which is specific to the Workers Pastoral Care Aalen. Their advisory approach focuses not only on individual triggers of the crisis, but also on the ones related to the working environment. Like this, individual solutions and structural modifications are closely intertwined and become equally important. As a consequence, affected people have the chance to take an active position during the whole advisory process.

description: In this paper, we propose a pre-trained-combined neural network (PTCN) as a comprehensive solution to the inverse design of an integrated photonic circuit. By utilizing both the initially pre-trained inverse and forward model with a joint training process, our PTCN model shows remarkable tolerance to the quantity and quality of the training data. As a proof of concept demonstration, the inverse design of a wavelength demultiplexer is used to verify the effectiveness of the PTCN model. The correlation coefficient of the prediction by the presented PTCN model remains greater than 0.974 even when the size of training data is decreased to 17%. The experimental results show a good agreement with predictions, and demonstrate a wavelength demultiplexer with an ultra-compact footprint, a high transmission efficiency with a transmission loss of -2dB, a low reflection of -10dB, and low crosstalk around -7dB simultaneously.

description: The activation energy for desorption (Edes) and that for surface diffusion (Esd) of adsorbed molecules on dust grains are two of the most important parameters for the chemistry in the interstellar medium. Although Edes is often measured by laboratory experiments, the measurement of Esd is sparse. Due to the lack of data, astrochemical models usually assume a simple scaling relation, Esd = fEdes, where f is a constant, irrespective of adsorbed species. Here, we experimentally measure Esd for CH4, H2S, OCS, CH3OH, and CH3CN on water-ice surfaces using an ultra-high-vacuum transmission electron microscope (UHV-TEM). Compiling the measured Esd values and Edes values from the literature, we find that the value of f ranges from ~0.2 to ~0.7, depending on the species. Unless f (or Esd) for the majority of species is available, a natural alternative approach for astrochemical models is running multiple simulations, varying f for each species randomly. In this approach, ranges of molecular abundances predicted by multiple simulations, rather than abundances predicted by each simulation, are important. We here run 10,000 simulations of astrochemical models of molecular clouds and protostellar envelopes, randomly assigning a value of f for each species. In the former case, we identify several key species whose Esd most strongly affects the uncertainties of the model predictions; Esd for those species should be investigated in future laboratory and quantum chemical studies. In the latter case, uncertainties in the Esd of many species contribute to the uncertainties in the model predictions.

description: We present a new method for probabilistic generative modelling of stellar colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) to infer the frequency of binary stars and their mass-ratio distribution. The method invokes a mixture model to account for overlapping populations of single stars, binaries and outliers in the CMD. We apply the model to Gaia observations of the old open cluster, M67, and find a frequency $f_B(q > 0.5) = 0.258 \pm 0.019$ for binary stars with mass ratio greater than 0.5. The form of the mass-ratio distribution function rises towards higher mass ratios for $q > 0.3$.

description: A large area field emitter (LAFE) typically consists of several thousands of nanoscale emitting tips. These are difficult to simulate using purely numerical methods based on finite/boundary element or finite difference methods. We show here that a semi-analytically obtained electrostatic field allows tracking of field emitted electrons of a LAFE fairly accurately using the knowledge of only the LAFE geometry. Using a single and a 9-emitter configuration, the beam parameters calculated using this method are compared with the results of tracking using fields generated by COMSOL. The net emission current, energy conservation and the transverse trace-emittance are found to be reproduced with reasonable accuracy.

description: This paper presents a general solution for computing the multi-object posterior for sets of trajectories from a sequence of multi-object (unlabelled) filtering densities and a multi-object dynamic model. Importantly, the proposed solution opens an avenue of trajectory estimation possibilities for multi-object filters that do not explicitly estimate trajectories. In this paper, we first derive a general multi-trajectory backward smoothing equation based on random finite sets of trajectories. Then we show how to sample sets of trajectories using backward simulation for Poisson multi-Bernoulli filtering densities, and develop a tractable implementation based on ranked assignment. The performance of the resulting multi-trajectory particle smoothers is evaluated in a simulation study, and the results demonstrate that they have superior performance in comparison to several state-of-the-art multi-object filters and smoothers.

A machine-generated catalogue of Charon's craters and implications for the Kuiper belt

description: In this paper we investigate Charon's craters size distribution using a deep learning model. This is motivated by the recent results of Singer et al. (2019) who, using manual cataloging, found a change in the size distribution slope of craters smaller than 12 km in diameter, translating into a paucity of small Kuiper Belt objects. These results were corroborated by Robbins and Singer (2021), but opposed by Morbidelli et al. (2021), necessitating an independent review. Our MaskRCNN-based ensemble of models was trained on Lunar, Mercurian, and Martian crater catalogues and both optical and digital elevation images. We use a robust image augmentation scheme to force the model to generalize and transfer-learn into icy objects. With no prior bias or exposure to Charon, our model find best fit slopes of q =-1.47+-0.33 for craters smaller than 10 km, and q =-2.91+-0.51 for craters larger than 15 km. These values indicate a clear change in slope around 15 km as suggested by Singer et al. (2019) and thus independently confirm their conclusions. Our slopes however are both slightly flatter than those found more recently by Robbins and Singer (2021). Our trained models and relevant codes are available online on github.com/malidib/ACID .

Could the "Wow" signal have originated from a stochastic repeating beacon?

description: The famous "Wow" signal detected in 1977 remains arguably the most compelling SETI signal ever found. The original Big Ear data requires that the signal turned on/off over the span of ~3 minutes (time difference between the dual antennae), yet persisted for 72 seconds (duration of a single beam sweep). Combined with the substantial and negative follow-up efforts, these observations limit the allowed range of signal repeat schedules, to the extent that one might question the credibility of the signal itself. Previous work has largely excluded the hypothesis of a strictly periodic repeating source, for periods shorter than 40 hours. However, a non-periodic, stochastic repeater remains largely unexplored. Here, we employ a likelihood emulator using the Big Ear observing logs to infer the probable signal properties under this hypothesis. We find that the maximum a-posteriori solution has a likelihood of 32.3%, highly compatible with the Big Ear data, with a broad 2 $σ$ credible interval of signal duration 72 secs < T < 77 mins and mean repeat rate 0.043 1/days < $λ$ < 59.8 1/days. We extend our analysis to include 192 hours of subsequent observations from META, Hobart and ATA, which drops the peak likelihood to 1.78%, and thus in tension with the available data at the 2.4 $σ$ level. Accordingly, the Wow signal cannot be excluded as a stochastic repeater with available data, and we estimate that 62 days of accumulated additional observations would be necessary to surpass 3 $σ$ confidence.

description: In this Letter, we give a detailed analysis to the M3.3 class flare that occurred on August 17, 2013 (SOL2013-08-17T18:16). It presents a clear picture of mutual magnetic interaction initially from the photosphere to the corona via the abrupt rapid shearing motion of a small sunspot before the flare, and then suddenly from the corona back to the photosphere via the sudden retraction motion of the same sunspot during the flare impulsive phase. About 10 hours before the flare, a small sunspot in the active region NOAA 11818 started to move northeast along a magnetic polarity inversion line (PIL), creating a shearing motion that changed the quasi-static state of the active region. A filament right above the PIL was activated following the movement of the sunspot and then got partially erupted. The eruption eventually led to the M3.3 flare. The sunspot was then suddenly pulled back to the opposite direction upon the flare onset. During the backward motion, the Lorentz force underwent a simultaneous impulsive change both in magnitude and direction. Its directional change is found to be conformable with the retraction motion. The observation provides direct evidence for the role of the shearing motion of the sunspot in powering and triggering the flare. It especially confirms that the abrupt motion of a sunspot during a solar flare is the result of a back reaction caused by the reconfiguration of the coronal magnetic field.
