Abstract:
During the sixty-year period of existence of domestic large-panel housing construction, this type of housing remains the most popular due to its affordability. The transition to flexible technologies for the production of panel buildings makes it possible to create high-quality and comfortable housing. However, there is some return to the construction of panel buildings with flat monotonous expressionless facades. The article describes a method for creating stepped facades using overlay panels of external walls, the connection of decorative external layers in which «overlap» is made. This makes it possible to create stepped facades in a simple technological way, hide part of the vertical seams, increase the output of products, and simplify the achievement of the desired apartment layout. The method is protected by a Eurasian patent. Keywords: stepped exterior panel, overhead exterior panel, «overlap» connection, loop precast-monolithic connections, stepped facade, apartment layouts, multi-hollow plates.

Abstract:
Loading tests of triple glazed facade panels with dimensions of 1.5 x 2.64 m were carried out. The purpose of the tests was to examine mechanical resistance of the glass panes, namely the deformations caused by a local load, to determine degree of interaction between the panes of triple glazing exposed to the loading action and to prove the load bearing capacity of the panels. This experimental investigations were accompanied by finite element analysis.

Abstract:
Bio-receptivity refers to the aptitude of a material to allow for the natural growth of small plant species on stony surfaces with minimum external influence. Despite the numerous associated environmental benefits, the growth of mosses and lichens on facades has always been viewed as a negative phenomenon due to the random and shabby growth conditions. This research dealt with the design of a self-sustaining bio-receptive concrete facade system with an aim to create a more sustainable and green concrete for the construction industry. The research used surface geometry as a design variable to facilitate moss growth on concrete panels in an ordered and systematic manner. The exercise was an attempt to not only address the functional aspect of bio-receptivity but also its aesthetical quality, which has a primary influence on people’s perception of bio-receptivity and can promote mass use of this type of concrete material. The research was conducted in a top-down approach, where first, through design by research, six distinctly designed concrete panels were fabricated using adapted material composition (blast furnace cement with 75% slag, 0.6 water/cement, sand 0–4 mm and gravel 5–8 mm) as the boundary condition. The concrete mixture together with no curing policy resulted in highly porous concrete panels, suitable for bio-receptive properties. Next in the design validation phase, the influence of surface geometry/roughness on the water retention ability of the panels and the subsequent moss growth on the panels were evaluated through in vitro experiments. The water retention experiment of the panels was based on quantitative measurements for weight, relative humidity and temperature at several time intervals. The moss-growing experiment was carried out within an ideal greenhouse condition where the panels were initially inoculated with moss spores; the results were based on qualitative observation for a period of 4 months. According to the comparative analysis of these results, with the same material composition, Panel 2 showed the highest bio-colonization owing to its prominent surface geometry, whereas Panel 5 showed the least bio-colonization owing to its plain surface despite high absorption capacity. Thus, the role of geometry has been extensively proven in this research and as an outcome a set of general design guidelines have been formulated for a self-sustaining bio-receptive concrete facade panel, using geometry as a design variable for bio-receptivity.

Abstract:
The building sector presents poor performance in terms of energy efficiency and is looking for effective alternatives aimed at reducing the use of fossil fuels. The facade is a key element able to harness renewable energy as an Active Solar Thermal Facade (ASTF). The main purpose of this study is the assessment of a novel design concept based on a steel sandwich panel technology. The performance of the active system will be first addressed by a parametric study in order to analyze its behavior and secondly, by describing a real case based on an experimental test by connecting the active panels to a heat pump. The study shows the impact of solar irradiation and mass flow on the thermal jump achieved, while ambient and fluid inlet temperatures are the most influencing parameters in the efficiency of the facade. When coupled to the heat pump, results from a measurement campaign demonstrate a remarkable improvement in the performance of the ASTF. The results presented provide significant proof about the benefits of a synergetic combination of both technologies—solar facades and heat pumps—as efficient alternatives for the building sector, aiming to improve energy efficiency as well as reduce their dependence on non-renewable sources.

Abstract:
Today, large-panel housing construction occupies a leading position, both in terms of construction speed and sales, which contributes to an increase in the volume of precast concrete housing construction. Outdated series of large-panel houses do not meet modern requirements. Old faceless panel houses are gradually replaced by beautiful housing complexes with different types of facades. At present, in the technology of construction of panel houses from sandwich-panels, the relevant trend is to reduce the standard thickness of the facade layer of a three-layer sandwich-panel (GOST 31310–2015 “ Three-Layer Reinforced Concrete Wall Panels with Effective Insulation. General Technical Conditions”) from 70 mm to 40 mm or less. Panel houses require a reduction in metal consumption, material consumption and improvement of thermal characteristics. This requires the development and implementation of new materials. The use of such construction products made of composite materials as diagonal flexible composite connections, flexible mounting loops and composite reinforcement mesh will make it possible to reduce the thickness of the protective layer of concrete without compromising the stability of the structure under the influence of the external environment due to the high corrosion resistance of the composite, reduce the weight of the panel, reduce the cost of manufacturing a unit of panel, increase the energy efficiency of the panel, ensure long-term strength of enclosing structures – create an innovative energy-efficient reinforced concrete sandwich panel of the XXI century.

Abstract:
We explore different methods of analyzing large and complex datasets related to building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). We use the data of the European RESSOURCES project obtained from ETNA, an experimental setup consisting of two full-scale replicas of residential homes featuring a double-skin facade. We show that classic data mining methods such as mutual information can be used to gain a better understanding of the physics behind BIPV systems and to highlight discrepancies between different experimental setups. We then use artificial neural networks to model the airflow inside a double-skin facade and quantify its contribution to the cooling and heating of buildings.

Shaking table tests and theoretical analysis were conducted to study of the seismic response of cable net facade. Firstly dynamic response of cable net façade under earthquake was investigated with shaking table test. Then a numerical simulation model of cable net façade was built for the dynamic analysis .And then with this model the seismic response was analyzed theoretically. The study indicates that: the seismic response of the cable net with glass panels and the cable net on most occasions are mainly decided by the symmetric modes, and the first vibration mode is dominant. The damping of cable net facade is mainly decided by glass panels.

The increasing of using precast concrete panels, lack of standardization, lack of studies on precast concrete panels and its connections devices on Brazil, has led to the need of manual and design criteria of precast concrete panel connections. Although the designers and precast concrete panel manufacturers is using foreign standards when its available and their empirical knowledge on the specification and connections design criteria, the lack of manuals become hard to find solutions that provide easiness of precast concrete panel s employment. Connections are fundamental part of the precast structures. For the building assembly are necessary linking devices which influences the production process, the efficiency of casting, storage, transport, handling and especially in the assembly on site. This work presents the concept, technical features and functions of main types of spandrel panel connections and the main structure of building, and identifies typical connections and the general design recommendation. This report purpose the put in connection as a new classification of connection type.
Dada a falta de normatização, escassez de estudos sobre painéis pré-moldados, suas ligações e o amplo emprego de painéis pré-moldados nos dias atuais, percebeu-se uma necessidade tanto acadêmica quanto dos projetistas por material de consulta. As empresas fabricantes de painéis se baseiam em normas estrangeiras e no conhecimento adquirido empiricamente para o projeto de ligações de painéis, deste fato surge, portanto, a dificuldade de encontrar soluções para ligações que propiciem a eficácia da aplicação dos painéis. As ligações são parte fundamental dos sistemas pré-moldados, já que para a composição da edificação são necessários dispositivos interligantes , que intrinsecamente interferem em toda a cadeia produtiva e de montagem, ou seja, regem a eficiência nas etapas de fôrma, moldagem, estoque, transporte, manuseio e principalmente na montagem em canteiro. Neste trabalho são apresentadas ligações entre painéis de fachada horizontais pré-moldadas de concreto, a conceituação e a caracterização dos principais tipos e funções das ligações, identificando as diversas ligações existentes relacionando indicações gerais de projeto, além da proposição das ligações por encaixe como nova classificação de elementos de ligação.

Abstract:
A utilização de tecnologias construtivas inovadoras, como os painéis pré-fabricados arquitetônicos de concreto (PPAC), tem-se configurado prática frequente do mercado brasileiro por, potencialmente, contribuir para incrementar os níveis de industrialização dos processos de produção, bem como a qualidade do produto final a custos reduzidos. No Brasil, entretanto, não existem ainda normas ou manuais técnicos que balizem a utilização dessa tecnologia construtiva. Por isso, este trabalho sistematiza o conhecimento sobre a tecnologia de PPAC para emprego em fachadas de edifícios de múltiplos pavimentos, por meio da apresentação dos principais fatores que devem ser considerados nas fases de elaboração dos projetos de empreendimentos que utilizem os PPAC em suas fachadas. Fatores esses, que condicionam o desempenho e a eficiência do processo de produção das fachadas. Após o acompanhamento do processo de produção de dois empreendimentos que utilizaram PPAC em suas fachadas, constituindo os estudos de caso, conclui-se que a tecnologia de PPAC apresenta grande potencial para incrementar os níveis de industrialização do processo de produção do edifício, se a elaboração dos seus projetos ocorrer nas fases preliminares da concepção do empreendimento, em que suas funções e interfaces sejam consideradas.
The arquitectural precast concrete panel technology has frequently been used because of its probability of increasing the industrialization levels of the building process and also improve the building product quality. On the other hand, mostly in Brasil, there are no rules ou manual books which guide the utilization of this technology. In addition, this works aims to raise the knowledge about the arquitectural precast concrete panel used as cladding (APCP-PPAC in Portuguese). Therefore, this works presents some factors that must be considered in designs of building facades, using this kind of technology. After the analysis of one study case using APCP, it was concluded that APCP technology has a great potential of increasing the industrialization levels of the building process, if its designs are done as soon as possible and if its performance and interfaces are considered.

One of the most salient examples of the giant panda as a national symbol, the phenomenon of offering state-gift pandas to other countries, grew out of the end of the Cultural Revolution era. State-gift pandas were among the most successful efforts by China to paint for itself a new international face as it strove for greater international recognition and integration. These high-profile gifts had a profound effect on the wild panda population. The impact of “panda diplomacy” on China’s wild pandas inspired new protection policies during the 1970s.

Abstract:
Ecologically Sustainable buildings are being designed for the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) where the building fac¸ade and equipment may serve as a project-based environment for engineering students learning about energy efficiency. Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) panels with poly-crystalline Photovoltaic (PV) module were designed and experimentally tested. The power input, and power output, surface temperatures, and channel spacing(s) between the PV module and glazed layer(s) were measured at cooling conditions with both fan-on and fan-off conditions. The electric energy conversion efficiency and the heat transfer ratios of conduction, natural convection, forced convection, and radiation reflection were determined for BIPV panels and optimized against the surface temperature and the channel spacing(s). An optimum BIPV with compact spacing for the single glazed (double-skinned) facade was suggested to be retrofitted to existing buildings, while an optimum BIPV with compact spacing for the double glazed (triple-skinned) fac¸ade was suggested for the building development at UTS. The project is ongoing and serves as a collaborative educational platform for students and staff.

Abstract:
Architects, building designers, and building owners presently lack sufficient resources for thoroughly evaluating the economic impact of building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is addressing this deficiency by evaluating computer models used to predict the electrical performance of BIPV components. To facilitate this evaluation, NIST is collecting long-term BIPV performance data that can be compared against predicted values. The long-term data, in addition, provides insight into the relative merits of different building integrated applications, helps to identify performance differences between cell technologies, and reveals seasonal variations. This paper adds to the slowly growing database of longterm performance data on BIPV components. Results from monitoring eight different building-integrated panels over a twelve-month period are summarized. The panels are installed vertically, face true-south, and are an integral part of the building’s shell. The eight panels comprise the second set of panels evaluated at the NIST test facility. Cell technologies evaluated as part of this second round of testing include single crystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and two thin film materials: tandem-junction amorphous silicon (2-a-Si) and copper-indium-diselenide (CIS). Two 2-a-Si panels and two CIS panels were monitored. For each pair of BIPV panels, one was insulated on its backside while the backside of the second panel was open to the indoor conditioned space. The panel with the backside thermal insulation experienced higher midday operating temperatures. The higher operating temperatures caused a greater dip in maximum power voltage. The maximum power current increased slightly for the 2-a-Si panel but remained virtually unchanged for the CIS panel. Three of the remaining four test specimens were custom-made panels having the same polycrystalline solar cells but different glazings. Two different polymer materials, Tefzel and Kynar, were tested along with 6 mm-thick, low-iron float glass. The two panels having the much thinner polymer front covers consistently outperformed the panel having the glass front. When compared on an annual basis, the energy production of each polymer-front panel was 8.5% higher than the glass-front panel. Comparison of panels of the same cell technology and comparisons between panels of different cell technologies are made on daily, monthly, and annual bases. Efficiency based on coverage area, which excludes the panel’s inactive border, is used for most “between” panel comparisons. Annual coverage-area conversion efficiencies for the vertically-installed BIPV panels range from a low of 4.6% for the 2-a-Si panels to a high of 12.2% for the two polycrystalline panels having the polymer front covers. The insulated single crystalline panel only slightly outperformed the insulated CIS panel, 10.1% versus 9.7%.

Full text
Abstract:
In this paper, the numerical model was developed by using the commercial code LS/DYNA to investigate the dynamic response of sandwich panels with three PVC foam core layers subjected to non-contact underwater explosion. The simulation results showed that the structural response of the sandwich panel could be divided into four sequential regimes: (1) interaction between the shock wave and structure, (2) compression phase of sandwich core, (3) collapse of cavitation bubbles and (4) overall bending and stretching of sandwich panel under its own inertia. Main attention of present study was placed at the blast resistance improvement by tailoring the core layer gradation under the condition of same weight expense and same blast load. Using the minimization of back face deflection as the criteria for evaluating the blast resistant of panel, the panels with core gradation of high/middle/low or middle/low/high (relative densities) from the front face to back face demonstrated the optimal resistance. Moreover, the comparative studies on the blast resistance of the functionally graded sandwich panels and equivalent ungraded ones were carried out. The optimum functionally graded sandwich panel outperformed the equivalent ungraded one for relatively small charge masses. The energy absorption characteristics as well as the core compression were also discussed. It is found that the core gradation has a negligible effect on the whole energy dissipation of panel, but would significantly affect the energy distribution among sandwich panel components and the compression value of core.

Full text
Abstract:
The structural and thermal feasibility of a self-supporting sandwich panel for energy efficient residential roof applications is assessed. The assessment is limited to symmetric sandwich panels comprising two face sheets and an insulating core. Feasible panel designs are presented for loading conditions, corresponding to southern and northern climates in the United States. The base case panel is 5.5 m long for a nominal 4.6 m horizontal span and an 8/12 roof pitch. Face sheet materials considered are oriented strand board, steel, and fiber reinforced plastic. Core materials considered are expanded polystyrene, extruded polystyrene, polyurethane and poly(vinyl-chloride) foams. A wide range of material options meet building code limits on deflection and weight and prevent face sheet fracture and buckling, and core shear failure. Panels are identified that have structural depths similar to conventional wood rafter construction. Shortening the overall panel length provides greater choice in the use of materials and decreases the required panel thickness. Suggestions for improved panel designs address uncertainty in the ability of the plastic core to withstand long term loading over the expected life of residential buildings.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper focuses on thermal-structural analysis and lightweight design of actively-cooled panels reinforced by low density lattice-framed material (LFM) truss cores. Numerical models for actively-cooled panels are built up with parametric codes to perform the coupled thermal-structural analysis, considering the internal thermal environment of convective heat transfer in the combustor and convective heat transfer in the cooling channel, and internal pressures from the combustion gas and the coolant. A preliminary comparison of the LFM truss reinforced actively-cooled panel and the non-reinforced panel demonstrates that the thermal-structural behavior is significantly improved. Then, an optimization procedure is carried out to find the lightest design while satisfying thermal deformation and plastic strain constraints, with thicknesses of face sheets and topology parameters of LFM truss as design variables. The optimization result demonstrates that, compared with the non-reinforced actively-cooled panels, weight reduction for the panel reinforced by LFM truss may reach 19.6%. We have also fabricated this type of actively-cooled panel in the laboratory level, and the specimen shows good mechanical behaviors.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper presents the design and mathematical modeling of thermal radiator panels to be used primarily to measure night sky radiation from dry and wet coated surfaces. Three panels may be used in conjunction as a combined measuring system. One panel consists of an upper dry surface coated aluminum sheet laminated to an ethylene vinyl acetate foam backing block having a pattern of parallel flow water channels and header channels milled into its mating surface prior to lamination to the aluminum sheet. This configuration provides a fin and channel radiator instrument whereby circulating water may be used to measure the heat loss from this panel to night sky radiation. In a second configuration, the surface of a panel without buried water channels but otherwise identical may be wetted in order to study and compare the night sky radiation from its wet surface. In this case, the measuring water is circulated over the upper face of this panel. In a third configuration, water is sprayed onto the surface of the second panel (or a similar panel) so that an evaporative cooling effect is gained in addition to the radiation effect. Initial TRNSYS simulations for the performance of all three configurations are presented and it is planned to use the panels as calibrated instruments for discriminating between the cooling effects of night sky radiation and evaporation.

Abstract:
This study aims to investigate the sound transmission loss (STL) capability of sandwich panels treated with Magnetorheological (MR) fluids at low frequencies. An experimental setup has been designed to investigate the effect of the intensity of the applied magnetic field on the natural frequencies and STL of a clamped circular plate. A multilayered uniform circular panel comprising two elastic face sheets and MR fluid core layer is fabricated. It is shown that as the applied magnetic field increases, the fundamental natural frequency of the MR sandwich panel increases. Moreover, the STL of the panel at the resonance frequency considerably increases under applied magnetic field. Furthermore, an analytical model for the STL of the finite multilayered panels with MR core layer is developed and compared with the experimental measurements. The MR core layer is treated as a viscoelastic material with complex shear modulus. It is shown that good agreement exists between the analytical and experimental results. Parametric study has also been conducted to investigate the effect of face sheets and core layers’ thickness.

Full text
Abstract:
Sandwich construction has been extensively used in various fields. However, sandwich panels have not been fully exploited in critical structural applications due to damage tolerance and safety concern. A major problem of sandwich panels is the debonding at or near the core/face sheet interface, especially under impact loading, which can lead to a sudden loss of structural integrity and cause catastrophic consequences. In order to improve the debonding resistance and energy absorption of sandwich panel under impact loadings, a new foam core is proposed which is a hybrid core consisting of hollow metallic microtubes reinforced polymer matrix. The objective of this study was to characterize its static and dynamic performances. Two types of new hybrid cores were investigated in this work. One consisted of polymer resin reinforced by transversely aligned continuous metallic militubes, denoted as type-I sandwich panel. The other was made of polymer resin reinforced by aligned continuous in-plane metallic militubes, denoted as type-II sandwich panel. Additionally, the traditional sandwich panels with polymeric syntactic foam core were also prepared for comparisons. Static and impact tests demonstrated that interface debonding and subsequent shear failure in the core could be largely excluded from the type-II panel. Meanwhile, a significant transition to ductile failure was observed in type-II sandwich panel with dramatically enhanced load capacity and impact energy dissipation. The results indicated that type-II panel may be considered a promising option for critical structural applications featured by debonding and impact tolerance.

Full text
Abstract:
Improving lightweight structures is a continuous challenge for yacht hull structural components. Sandwich beams consisting of strong face sheets and a low density core have gained application as weight efficient structures subjected to bending loads. The sandwich structure provides good stiffness by keeping the face sheets at a fixed distance with considerable weight reduction over a statically equivalent monolithic panel. New fabrication technologies now allow for hybrid sandwich structures, known as X-cor to be manufactured. X-cor panels consist of carbon fiber face sheets separated by a closed cell polymer foam core reinforced with carbon fiber or metallic (Titanium or Steel) pins. The pins are inserted into the light weight foam core in the out-of-plane direction and extend from face sheet to face sheet. Pin orientation and concentration can be varied providing a large design space for scientist and designer to explore and to improve material performance. The effect of core thickness, pin reinforcing and polymer foam core on the out-of-plane axial compression response of these panel will be presented. The through thickness three- point simply supported bending behavior of these reinforced panels is used to evaluate the core shear, stretch, face sheet failure characteristics of the structures. Explicit experimental observations are used to develop and calibrate analytical energy balance models to generate failure mode maps describing the panel collapse load as a function of geometry. Multi-scale effective modeling, blurring the distinction between structural and material behavior, will enable optimization of the X-cor sandwich structures in light of Yacht hull design requirements. The mechanical response of X-cor sandwich panels will be compared to current Yacht hull materials using material selection charts, and demonstrator components presented.

Abstract:
Although many people now have access to more accumulated information than has ever been the case in human existence, we also now face a moment when the proliferation of misinformation, or false or inaccurate information, poses major challenges. In response to these challenges and to build collaboration across disciplines and expertise and a more effective community of learning and practice, the Rita Allen Foundation partnered with RTI International and the Aspen Institute along with Craig Newmark Philanthropies, Democracy Fund, and Burroughs Wellcome Fund to hold the Misinformation Solutions Forum in October 2018 at the Aspen Institute in Washington, DC. This forum brought together academic researchers, technology professionals, data scientists, journalists, educators, community leaders, funders and a set of graduate student fellows to explore promising ideas for curbing the spread of misinformation. We issued an open call for ideas to be featured in the forum that sought interventions focused on reducing behaviors that lead to the spread of misinformation or encouraging behaviors that can lead to the minimization of its influence. Interventions with technological, educational, and/or community-based components were encouraged, as were projects involving science communication, public health and diverse populations. A panel of expert judges assessed submissions through a blind review process; judges included representatives from the Rita Allen Foundation, as well as external institutions such as the Democracy Fund, the National Institutes of Health, the Poynter Institute, First Draft, and academic institutions. Authors developed the essays presented here based on both original submissions and the iterative collaboration process that ensued.

Full text
Abstract:
This study is the latest in a series monitoring the evolution of poverty, based on data gathered by The ESRI in the Living in Ireland Surveys since 1994. These have allowed progress towards achieving the targets set out in the National Anti Poverty Strategy since 1997 to be assessed. The present study provides an updated picture using results from the 2000 round of the Living in Ireland survey. The numbers interviewed in the 2000 Living in Ireland survey were enhanced substantially, to compensate for attrition in the panel survey since it commenced in 1994. Individual interviews were conducted with 8,056 respondents. Relative income poverty lines do not on their own provide a satisfactory measure of exclusion due to lack of resources, but do nonetheless produce important key indicators of medium to long-term background trends. The numbers falling below relative income poverty lines were most often higher in 2000 than in 1997 or 1994. The income gap for those falling below these thresholds also increased. By contrast, the percentage of persons falling below income lines indexed only to prices (rather than average income) since 1994 or 1997 fell sharply, reflecting the pronounced real income growth throughout the distribution between then and 2000. This contrast points to the fundamental factors at work over this highly unusual period: unemployment fell very sharply and substantial real income growth was seen throughout the distribution, including social welfare payments, but these lagged behind income from work and property so social welfare recipients were more likely to fall below thresholds linked to average income. The study shows an increasing probability of falling below key relative income thresholds for single person households, those affected by illness or disability, and for those who are aged 65 or over - many of whom rely on social welfare support. Those in households where the reference person is unemployed still face a relatively high risk of falling below the income thresholds but continue to decline as a proportion of all those below the lines. Women face a higher risk of falling below those lines than men, but this gap was marked among the elderly. The study shows a marked decline in deprivation levels across different household types. As a result consistent poverty, that is the numbers both below relative income poverty lines and experiencing basic deprivation, also declined sharply. Those living in households comprising one adult with children continue to face a particularly high risk of consistent poverty, followed by those in families with two adults and four or more children. The percentage of adults in households below 70 per cent of median income and experiencing basic deprivation was seen to have fallen from 9 per cent in 1997 to about 4 per cent, while the percentage of children in such households fell from 15 per cent to 8 per cent. Women aged 65 or over faced a significantly higher risk of consistent poverty than men of that age. Up to 2000, the set of eight basic deprivation items included in the measure of consistent poverty were unchanged, so it was important to assess whether they were still capturing what would be widely seen as generalised deprivation. Factor analysis suggested that the structuring of deprivation items into the different dimensions has remained remarkably stable over time. Combining low income with the original set of basic deprivation indicators did still appear to identify a set of households experiencing generalised deprivation as a result of prolonged constraints in terms of command over resources, and distinguished from those experiencing other types of deprivation. However, on its own this does not tell the whole story - like purely relative income measures - nor does it necessarily remain the most appropriate set of indicators looking forward. Finally, it is argued that it would now be appropriate to expand the range of monitoring tools to include alternative poverty measures incorporating income and deprivation. Levels of deprivation for some of the items included in the original basic set were so low by 2000 that further progress will be difficult to capture empirically. This represents a remarkable achievement in a short space of time, but poverty is invariably reconstituted in terms of new and emerging social needs in a context of higher societal living standards and expectations. An alternative set of basic deprivation indicators and measure of consistent poverty is presented, which would be more likely to capture key trends over the next number of years. This has implications for the approach adopted in monitoring the National Anti-Poverty Strategy. Monitoring over the period to 2007 should take a broader focus than the consistent poverty measure as constructed to date, with attention also paid to both relative income and to consistent poverty with the amended set of indicators identified here.

Vulnerability of Austin’s urban forest and natural areas: A report from the Urban Forestry Climate Change Response Framework.

Abstract:
The trees, developed green spaces, and natural areas within the City of Austin’s 400,882 acres will face direct and indirect impacts from a changing climate over the 21st century. This assessment evaluates the vulnerability of urban trees and natural and developed landscapes within the City Austin to a range of future climates. We synthesized and summarized information on the contemporary landscape, provided information on past climate trends, and illustrated a range of projected future climates. We used this information to inform models of habitat suitability for trees native to the area. Projected shifts in plant hardiness and heat zones were used to understand how less common native species, nonnative species, and cultivars may tolerate future conditions. We also assessed the adaptability of planted and naturally occurring trees to stressors that may not be accounted for in habitat suitability models such as drought, flooding, wind damage, and air pollution. The summary of the contemporary landscape identifies major stressors currently threatening trees and forests in Austin. Major current threats to the region’s urban forest include invasive species, pests and disease, and development. Austin has been warming at a rate of about 0.4°F per decade since measurements began in 1938 and temperature is expected to increase by 5 to 10°F by the end of this century compared to the most recent 30-year average. Both increases in heavy rain events and severe droughts are projected for the future, and the overall balance of precipitation and temperature may shift Austin’s climate to be more similar to the arid Southwest. Species distribution modeling of native trees suggests that suitable habitat may decrease for 14 primarily northern species, and increase for four more southern species. An analysis of tree species vulnerability that combines model projections, shifts in hardiness and heat zones, and adaptive capacity showed that only 3% of the trees estimated to be present in Austin based on the most recent Urban FIA estimate were considered to have low vulnerability in developed areas. Using a panel of local experts, we also assessed the vulnerability of developed and natural areas. All areas were rated as having moderate to moderate-high vulnerability, but the underlying factors driving that vulnerability differed by natural community and between East and West Austin. These projected changes in climate and their associated impacts and vulnerabilities will have important implications for urban forest management, including the planting and maintenance of street and park trees, management of natural areas, and long-term planning.

Abstract:
The Panel discussion titled “The Presidential Employment Stimulus: Research Opportunities”, was hosted on 10 December 2020 by the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI) and the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) at the Science Forum South Africa (SFSA) 2020. The Presidential Employment Stimulus was launched in parliament on 15 October as part of government’s Economic Recovery Strategy. It directly funds 800,000 employment opportunities that are being implemented within the current financial year, but it is anticipated that it will also become a medium-term programme. The stimulus includes public employment programmes, job retention programmes and direct support to livelihoods. The single largest programme is run by the Department of Basic Education, which, in the last fortnight, recruited 300,000 young people as school assistants, to assist schools to deal with the setbacks faced as a result of the pandemic. The stimulus supports employment in the environmental sector and over 75,000 subsistence producers are receiving production grants through an input voucher scheme. There is a once-off grant to assist over 100,000 registered and unregistered Early Childhood Development Practitioners back on their feet, as well as a significant stimulus to the creative sector. The session set out to provide an introduction to the Presidential Employment Stimulus Programme (PESP), a key programme within government’s economic recovery plan led by Dr Kate Philip. The key objective was to get input from the research community on how the work that they are already doing and future work could contribute to the M&E efforts and be augmented in such a way that the PESP could become a medium-term programme. The DSI plans to hold further engagements in 2021 to mobilise the wider research community to provide evidence-based research in order to shape the research agenda that would support the M&E work and identify short-term issues that need to be factored into the department’s work plans, under the guidance of Dr Philip.
