Abstract:

Guided by modern miners of the region the authors track down pre-Inca mining sites in the Southern Nasca Region of Peru. In the hinterlands away from both modern and ancient roads they find a surprising number of small sites serving the pre-Inca industry, principally in the Nasca period. Drawing analogies from modern practice they are able to distinguish the ancient sites dedicated to exploration, extraction or production.

Abstract:

This article explores the conceptualisation of intangible heritage through the placement of traditional practices, by providing a method for cultural heritage inventories on Indigenous territories. Landscapes of movements is the theory that allows the analysis of Indigenous cultures and territories in terms of context, inhabitants, heritage, policies, traditions, symbolism, landmarks and roads. The case study is Caspana, a Likan Antai community in the north of Chile, incorporated in the Inca roads. Through interviews over a tenure map built in co-labour with the community in study, it was possible to articulate a space signification in relation to people’s movement as a “ritual territory” and an “ancient territory”, one for the present and for past movement, respectively. This tenure map method becomes a tool for the Indigenous communities, who can now use it as argument for claiming their rights over land.

Abstract:

The ancient network of roads in the Andean region is one of the most important works of infrastructure in South America. The extensive territory where the main exchanges between their communities were locally performed is previous to the expansion of the Inca Empire. In the year 2014, the region was included on the World Heritage List by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.<br><br> This communication network is the Qhapaq Ñan, Andean Road System. The Incas planned their route in the diverse landscape of the Andes to promote social and economic ties among the Andean communities. The routes originated in the central square of Cusco, creating cross-connections in a wide geographical area. The Tawantinsuyu depended on this sole route to link very distant production and worship centers.<br><br> The Qhapaq Ñan was the result of a political project. Even nowadays, it continues to articulate the development of cultural traditions in the Andean region. The present contribution analyzes its transcendental importance as a Cultural Heritage and the singularity of its nomination by the UNESCO, as for the first time six countries are sharing common objectives towards guaranteeing its protection.<br><br> Furthermore, this research explores the sense of timing in Latin American countries and the implicit challenges in the implementation of the new information technologies for the dissemination of information on Main Andean Road and for its conservation.<br><br> Although many of the countries have already incorporated the necessary digital tools in this matter, we conclude that there is a need to implement an Integrated Digital Model for the coordinated management in the countries that form the region.

Abstract:

Recent advances in computers and software have made it possible to solve in a practical time, even for large-scale 3D FEM models, while considering road bumps and the dynamic interaction between a vehicle and the road. In this study, a 3D FEM road traffic vibration analysis was tried for flat roads, embankment road and cut road. And the results were compared with the predicted values from INCE/J RTV-MODEL 2003. These conclusions will give us useful suggest for the prediction of road traffic vibration.

Abstract:

This paper deals about astronomical orientation of Incas objects in Ollantaytambo, which is located about 35 km southeast from Machu Picchu, about 40 km northwest from Cusco, and lies in the Urubamba valley. Everybody writing about Ollantaytambo, shoud read Protzen (1993). He devoted his monograph to description and interpretation of that locality. Book of Salazar and Salazar (2005) deals, among others, with the orientation of objects in Ollantaytambo with respect to the cardinal direction. Zawaski and Malville (2007) documented astronomical context of major monuments of nine sites in Peru, including Ollantaytambo. We tested astronomical orientation in these places and confirm or disprove hypothesis about purpose of Incas objects. For assessment orientation of objects we used our measurements and also satellite images on Google Earth and digital elevation model from ASTER. The satellite images used to approximate estimation of astronomical orientation. The digital elevation model is useful in the mountains, where we need the really horizon for a calculation of sunset and sunrise on specific days (solstices), which were for Incas people very important. By Incas is very famous that they worshiped the Sun. According to him they determined when to plant and when to harvest the crop. In this paper we focused on Temple of the Sun, also known the Wall of six monoliths. We tested which astronomical phenomenon is connected with this Temple. First, we tested winter solstice sunrise and the rides of the Pleiades for the epochs 2000, 1500 and 1000 A.D. According with our results the Temple isn't connected neither with winter solstice sunrise nor with the Pleiades. Then we tested also winter solstice sunset. We tried to use the line from an observation point near ruins of the Temple of Sun, to west-north, in direction to sunset. The astronomical azimuth from this point was about 5° less then we need. From this results we found, that is possible to find another observation point. By Salazar and Salazar (2005) we found observation point at the corner (east rectangle) of the pyramid by <i>Pacaritanpu</i>, down by the riverside. There is a line connecting the east rectangular "platform" at the river, going along the Inca road up to vicinity of the Temple of the Sun and then in the direction to the Inca face. Using a digital elevation model we found the astronomical azimuth, which is needed for confirm astronomical orientation of the Temple. So, finally we are able to demonstrate a possibility of the solar-solstice orientation in Ollantaytambo.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTTheblaNDM-1gene has been reported to be often located on broad-host-range plasmids of the IncA/C type in clinical but also environmental bacteria recovered from the New Delhi, India, area. IncA/C-type plasmids are the main vehicles for the spread of the cephalosporinase geneblaCMY-2, frequently identified in the United States, Canada, and Europe. In this study, we completed the sequence of IncA/C plasmid pNDM-KN carrying theblaNDM-1gene, recovered from aKlebsiella pneumoniaeisolate from Kenya. This sequence was compared with those of three IncA/C-type reference plasmids fromEscherichia coli,Yersinia ruckeri, andPhotobacterium damselae. Comparative analysis showed that theblaNDM-1gene was located on a widely diffused plasmid scaffold known to be responsible for the spread ofblaCMY-2-like genes and consequently for resistance to broad-spectrum cephalosporins. Considering that IncA/C plasmids possess a broad host range, this scaffold might support a large-scale diffusion of theblaNDM-1gene among Gram-negative rods.

Abstract:

This report describes the design of the Ina Road Landfill Stormwater Management System. Such a system is required by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality to efficiently and safely remove stormwater drainage from the landfill to better protect the environment and the public during storm events. Stormwater drainage systems are required at landfills to efficiently collect and remove stormwater, limit moisture that can penetrate waste, protect the integrity of the buried mass and the final cover system from washing out and reduce risk of flooding to neighboring property. The State requires that landfill stormwater management systems be designed to handle a minimum size storm event based on historical precipitation records.

Abstract:

Perspectives about the Studies on the Inka Dominance in the Southern Oriental Edge of the KollasuyuThe Inka archaeological record of the Argentine mid-west affords the possibility to consider the space involved effectively controlled by the state organization. The existing documents yield data and offer case studies of the Inka domination over the regional ethnic. The documents also offer an insight of the new relations established with the later domination from the first times of the Spanish conquest, all of which allows to improve understanding of the ways and functions of the Inka control, of the reactions and adjustments, over continuity and change, by evidence recognized in the records.We are presenting part of the known regional Inka infrastructure and materials, their characteristics and functions contrasting them with those of the native population. Thus, based on the former and joining it with archive documents and chroniclers’ references we offer an ad hoc model from the periphery in the austral end and in the final expansion epoch. This model is followed by a, perhaps, similar one for the first times of Spanish influence.
El registro arqueológico inka en el centro-oeste argentino, así como la existencia de documentación de los primeros tiempos coloniales hispánicos —con datos acerca de la dominación y de las nuevas relaciones resultantes— brindan grandes posibilidades de investigación. Así, es factible adentrarse en consideraciones sobre el espacio abarcado y el efectivamente controlado por la organización estatal. Del mismo modo, pueden conocerse las formas y funciones del control, las reacciones y ajustes zonales, la continuidad y el cambio en las diversas expresiones disponibles, entre otros.En el presente trabajo se presentará una parte de la infraestructura y de los materiales inkas regionales conocidos. Estos son tratados sobre la base de sus características y funciones, en contraste con los propios de las poblaciones locales. Tales bases se articularán con la documentación de archivos y referencias de los cronistas. De ello se derivará la interpretación de un modelo ad hoc válido para la periferia, en el extremo austral, para la época final de la expansión. Esta será seguida de un modelo, quizás similar, válido para los primeros tiempos de la incidencia hispánica.

Abstract:

This research has been motivated by the fact that present road traffic noise prediction models have not improved significantly since their development in the 1970s and 1980s, although road traffic noise nuisance is a significant and growing issue in Australia and elsewhere. This thesis reviews the nature of road traffic noise, its measurement, and interpretation of noise levels in terms of noise nuisance. It then examines the principal noise propagation influences that are described by road traffic noise prediction models such as ST AM SON and TNOISE, and outlines how these quasi-empirical models produce noise level predictions. Present road traffic noise prediction models are essentially pattern recognition tools, but while they perform satisfactorily for very simple situations, accurate noise prediction in more complex situations is beyond their ability. However, artificial intelligence pattern recognition tools have proven their power and usefulness in a variety of applications in recent years, and this thesis examines the hypothesis that a neural network approach to predicting road traffic noise offers a way to move forward in noise impact assessment. A simple two-layer feed-forward neural network architecture is found to be able to easily mimic present road traffic noise prediction models, with tangent-sigmoidal transfer functions specified for the input layer of 20-30 neurons, and a linear transfer function specified for the single output neuron. A priori rescaling of input values to roughly match the requirements of the transfer function facilitates the neural network training using a backpropagation algorithm with momentum and adaptive learning. Ways of avoiding the problem of overfitting are discussed. A case study based on a 1993 noise impact assessment project is presented that demonstrates that a neural network can easily be trained from fairly limited field data to satisfactorily predict road traffic noise in site-specific situations, and the case study was one in which a model such as STAMSON or TNOISE is not able to perform well. The effort and expertise needed for this exercise is comparable to an air emission dispersion modelling exercise, a conclusion that should prove of great interest to road and environment authorities. The thesis then proposes a strategy whereby grid-based neural networks can be developed to enable road traffic noise prediction in complex situations. The methodology is explained with the aid of a barrier adjustment calculation. The development of such a model for a sitespecific situation is quite straightforward, but there is also clear potential to develop a generic 2-dimension modelling capability. The basic approach to this parallels the modelling strategy of present noise prediction models, but with reference sound levels and adjustments referred to a grid, and determined using neural networks.

Abstract:

This chapter follows the Inca warlord Atahuallpa from the last days of his victory in the Inca civil war to the fateful encounter with Francisco Pizarro at Cajamarca in 1532. As Atahuallpa made his way to Cajamarca, he acted to destroy the old Inca capital of Cuzco and to show his subjects that they should fear his military power, which was capable of devastating even the most powerful sacred forces in the Andes. The arrival of Pizarro and his Spaniards occurred as the old Inca order was challenged, raising questions about the identity and motivations of the newcomers. Pizarro and his men made their way into Inca territory, where they abandoned their colonizing mission to seek out Atahuallpa, even though they knew he was not the legitimate Inca. The Spaniards told the Inca that they had come to serve Atahuallpa. Then they ambushed him at Cajamarca when he came to the Inca city to accept their fealty.

Abstract:

This chapter will show how it was possible to relocate the Cápac Ñan from Chachapoyas to Moyobamba during fieldwork in 2014. This northern part of the Cápac Ñan was used for centuries before being replaced by a new road “The Marginal” for automobile traffic from Chachapoyas via Rioja to Moyobamba. This important route, which crossed over the cordilleras into the ceja de selva, gave both highlanders and lowlanders access to coveted exotic resources. The road became especially important during the Late Horizon and early colonial period as it was utilized by the Inca in their conquest of Moyobamba and later by the Spanish as a starting point for their campaigns in the search for El Dorado. Historical documents from various archives showed the existence of hitherto unknown tribes that lived along the stone paved roads and the river systems up to the end of the seventeenth century.

Abstract:

The Inca occupation in the Cañete valley (Lima, Peru) is characterized by imperial architecture presence in settlements with local architecture. These settlements were articulated by the Qhapaq Ñan (Inca Road network). However, there are few studies related to the socioeconomic impact of Inca dominance on coastal communities. This chapter aims to call attention to changes that occurred at the level of consumption practices with the arrival of Inca administration at El Huarco-Cerro Azul, a fishermen settlement on the south coast of Peru built on a rocky promontory. We focus on the food resources evidence through the analysis of macro-botanical and faunistic remains, especially mammals and bird bones.

Abstract:

Abstract Looking back over the story I have told, we see that in 1925 Congress exercised its constitutional powers over federal courts and enacted the USAA as a procedural statute to govern proceedings in federal courts.1 Thirteen year later, the Supreme Court decided a case totally unrelated to the USAA, Erie RR. v. Tompkins (U.S. 1938).2 There the Court held that actions in federal courts based on diversity of citizenship of the parties should be governed by state law. Eighteen years later, in Bernhardt v. Polygraphic Co. of America, Inc. (U.S. 1956),3 the Court quite reasonably applied that principle to the state law of arbitration.4 Again, this was not a case involving the USAA.

DNC Chairman John Bailey recruited operative Wayne Phillips to take charge of a team that would intimidate conservative broadcasters who either supported Barry Goldwater or attacked Lyndon Johnson during the 1964 election. By Phillips’s own estimations, the project was a remarkable success, garnering hundreds of hours of free airtime via Fairness Doctrine complaints. They were aided by a new front organization—secretly created by the DNC—called the National Council for Civic Responsibility. As a bonus, the campaign also generated a court challenge from journalist Fred Cook against conservative radio station owner John Norris. The resulting court case, Red Lion Broadcasting Co., Inc. v. FCC, went all the way to the US Supreme Court, which ultimately upheld the Fairness Doctrine.

Abstract:

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Most of the Automated Driving Systems (ADS) technology development is targeting urban areas; there is still much to learn about how ADS will impact rural transportation. The DriveOhio team deployed level-3 ADS-equipped prototype vehicles in rural Ohio with the goal of discovering technical challenges for ADS deployment in such environments. However, before the deployment on public roads, it was essential to test the ADS-equipped vehicle for their safety limitations. At Transportation Research Center Inc. (TRC Inc.) proving grounds, we tested one such prototype system on a closed test track with soft targets and robotic platforms as surrogates for other road users. This paper presents an approach to safely conduct testing for ADS prototype and assess its readiness for public road deployment. The main goal of this testing was to identify a safe Operational Design Domain (ODD) of this system by gaining better understanding of the limitations of the system. The prototype system uses Apollo-based platform that provided perception, localization, routing, planning, and control modules. In this paper, we present a test matrix specifically designed for testing level-3 ADS-equipped vehicles on a closed test track. The test matrix includes a minimum set of test scenarios and procedures for each functionality of the ADS, for example, localization, routing, planning, object detection and collision avoidance, negotiating traffic at different types of intersections, car-following, etc. Various test parameters are chosen considering the intended public road deployment requirements and limitations. Further, we define safety metrics for various scenarios to objectively assess the limitations of the ADS. We also present sample data analysis results obtained from the testing. The ODD definitions were later used as ADS engagement/disengagement guidelines for the ADS operator to follow during public road deployment. The findings and lessons learned from this study will be useful in safely assessing limitations of future level-3 ADS-equipped prototypes.</div></div>

Abstract:

Abstract This paper presents the results of an ongoing investigation into the use of broadband vibration data to monitor the structural integrity and health of an all-composite road bridge. Bridge 1-351 on Business Route 896 in Glasgow, Delaware, was replaced with one of the first state-owned all-composite bridges in the nation in the fall of 1998. The bridge consists of two E-Glass/vinyl ester sandwich core sections (13-ft × 32 ft) joined by a longitudinal joint in the traffic direction. Each sandwich core section consists of a 28-inch deep core and 0.4-0.7-inch thick facesheets. Vibration data were obtained from the upper and lower surfaces of the bridge using a mesh of 1050 test points. From the modal information and the visualization of the data, several aspects of the structural behavior of the bridge were obtained. These characteristics include the interactions between the bridge and abutments; the effectiveness of the longitudinal joint to couple the deck sections; the effectiveness of the core to couple the face sheets; and the structural integrity and dynamic consistency of the entire structure. Mode shapes and natural frequencies were determined and are correlated with theoretical calculations and vibration analyses conducted for this bridge. A novel algorithm using the vibration data is being developed that enables local perturbations sensitive to the state of the material (e.g. manufacturing defects, material degradation or service damage) to be detected and spatially located in the bridge. This technique has been successfully validated for locating damage in 1-D beam structures and is being extended to the 3-D sandwich configuration of the bridge. By coupling this damage detection algorithm with the more conventional modal technique, the quality assurance/quality control and health monitoring of large composite bridge can be obtained.

Abstract:

Introdução: o relato de experiência em tela ocorreu no grupo terapêutico de mulheres do Centro de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS II) do município de Quixeramobim/CE que resultou de um projeto de intervenção Objetivos: realizar ações de educação em saúde sobre Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis (IST), Câncer de Mama, Câncer do Color do Útero e direitos das pessoas que vivem com HIV, visando a prevenção de tais doenças e a promoção em saúde. Material e Métodos: foram realizados três encontros durante os quais as temáticas supramencionadas foram debatidas por meio de rodas de conversa, oficinas e palestras, usando-se como materiais de mídias um notebook, um projetor de imagens e slide Resultados: o grupo é composto em sua maioria por mulheres idosas em situação de vulnerabilidade social, donas de casa, moradas da zona urbana, com baixo poder aquisitivo e com pouco acesso à cultura, à informação/conhecimento, às políticas públicas e, sobretudo, à educação em saúde, incluindo-se, portanto, no grupo de risco das doenças supramencionadas. O Instituto Nacional de Câncer (INCA, 2019), aponta que o câncer de mama é a primeira causa de morte por câncer em mulheres no Brasil e sua incidência e mortalidade aumentam a partir dos quarenta anos. Ainda conforme o INCA, aproximadamente uma mulher morre a cada 60 minutos de câncer de colo de útero no Brasil, sendo o 3º tipo de câncer mais comum em mulheres no país. De acordo com dados do Ministério da Saúde (2018), os casos de HIV em idosos aumentaram 103% na última década. Dito isto, justificou-se a necessidade do projeto de intervenção. Conclusão: a partir da intervenção no grupo concluiu-se que é de suma importância investir mais em políticas de saúde voltadas para a saúde da mulher, criar mais espaços e momentos de educação em saúde, sobretudo às mulheres em vulnerabilidade social, e educação permanente aos profissionais de saúde, haja vista o desconhecimento da população sobre tais doenças e seus agravos, sobre as formas de prevenção e tratamento e o despreparo de muitos profissionais de saúde para lidar com tais assuntos.

Abstract:

Limiting harmful locomotive exhaust emissions is important to the Nation’s health and safety. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has comprehensive gaseous exhaust emissions (or referred to as emissions hereto) testing requirements in place. All current tests are conducted on stationary locomotives. This paper discusses the development of an efficient stationary emissions measurement system that is compact, portable, easy to use, and applicable to onboard locomotives for in-use, over-the-road testing. More efficient locomotive emissions testing and better understanding of in-use emissions would be beneficial to all stakeholders. Sharma & Associates, Inc., (SA) adapted an off-the-shelf, portable, on-road, heavy-duty diesel truck emissions analyzer for locomotive use. This process included development of the necessary peripheral equipment and a computer program to take the raw emissions and report them as brake-specific emissions rates and duty cycle emissions. This paper describes the use of this system on a stationary locomotive. The system is currently being fitted and tested for over-the-road use. The measurement of particulate matter and smoke opacity were out of scope of the phase of the project that this paper is based on and not addressed hereto.

Abstract:

The Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL), Nexant Inc. and the Oregon State University (OSU) have developed a Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR) concept. The MASLWR is a small, safe and economic natural circulation pressurized light water reactor. MASLWR reactor module consists of an integral reactor/steam generator located in a steel cylindrical containment. The entire module is to be entirely shop fabricated and transported to site on most railways or roads. Two or more modules are located in a reactor building, each being submersed in a common, below grade cavity filled with water. For the most severe postulated accident, the volume of water in the cavity provides a passive ultimate heat sink for 3 or more days allowing the restoration of lost normal active heat removal systems. MASLWR thermal power of a single module is 150 MWt, primary system pressure 10.5 MPa, steam pressure 1.52 MPa and the net electrical output is 35–50 MWe.
