"Outlining precision boundaries among areas with different variability standards using magnetic susceptibility and geomorphic surfaces." Engenharia Agrícola 34, no. 4 (August 2014): 695–706. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s0100-69162014000400009.
Full textAbstract:
There is an increasing demand for detailed maps that represent in a simplified way the knowledge of the variability of a particular area or region maps. The objective was to outline precision boundaries among areas with different accuracy variability standards using magnetic susceptibility and geomorphic surfaces. The study was conducted in an area of 110 ha, which identified three compartment landscapes based on the geomorphic surfaces model. To determinate pH, organic matter, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium, the total sand and clay, 514 soil samples were collected at depths of 0-0.20 m and 0.60-0.80 m. The sum of base, cationic exchange capacity and base saturation were calculated and the magnetic susceptibility was evaluated in the laboratory using a system based on a balance of analytical precision method. Geomorphic surfaces identification allowed setting specific management areas (locations with maximum homogeneity of soil attributes). The map of spatial variability of magnetic susceptibility can be used to validate the precise boundaries among geomorphic surfaces identified in the field and infer the variability of clay content and soil base saturation.

Purpose – The overall purpose of this paper is to detect spatial, temporal, sectoral, thematic and other patterns or transitions in techno-socio-economic evolution that are likely to co-determine future development and allow the steering of it. The development of a “Global Change Data Base” (GCDB) promises a graphically and geographically oriented tool for the representation of correlations for global long-term data series. Design/methodology/approach – A literature analysis supports the interpretation of such “pattern recognitions”, especially the literature in the areas of economic growth, systems analysis, energy economics, social indicators and quality of life. Preconditions for economic growth are empirically analysed on a sectoral level along with prevailing structural shifts in the use of energy sources. Findings – The main outcome is a distillate of a few formative “paths of development”, according to a synthesis of to-date growth theories. These lines might influence development in future decades and co-determine the degree to which sustainability targets are met. Debates and discussion procedures make use of such findings and outline modes of actions. Practical implications – Developmental university curricula such as “Global Studies”, democratisation endeavours based on analyses of economic performance of (partly) democratic systems or global governance of science could profit from a consensus on global trends patterns, similar to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change endeavour at the United Nations level. Social implications – Such heuristic methods could suitably mediate (in “multicultural” manner) between contradictory paradigms of global economic development that are mainly ideology-driven and hamper global society’s joint action. Originality/value – In short, this is an empirical work on pattern recognition in global evolution using aggregated spatially and temporally enabled data. It refers to the historic example of Kon-Tiki which undertook a surprisingly long journey based on precise knowledge of ocean currents and wind without applying own force.

Full textAbstract:
There are numerous traces around the world that testify on the duration and significance of the Roman Empire. There are many more Roman traces in Serbia, than it could be seen in the field. Many traces have been lost or forgotten forever. Roman Margum is one of them. On the base of outline maps and historical facts, this work aims to revive the Roman era on the site Margum, in an innovative way, by using natural vegetation and installation. The approach to work has a multidisciplinary character. By analyzing the current situation and by using a check list, it was found that partly carried out archaeological excavations were not visible, and that their invisibility was more enhanced with invasive vegetation that occupied the space. The revitalization of the site Margum will not only contribute to the cultural heritage of Serbia, but also to a tourist activation of the space and its surroundings and to raising the attractiveness of the site as well.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this article is an attempt to outline the specifics of artistic mapping in contemporary literature through conceptualization to understand the „map” and territory "in the context of geopoietics studios. Philosophical and cultural works, which supplement the theoretical and methodological base of geopoetics, were chosen as the methodological basis for the research. Metaphor „A map is not the territory” (Alfred Korzybski) serves to explain the representation of the world, the description of reality. Artistic expictations of cartography are considered on the material of the works „Voroshilovgrad” by Sergey Zhadan, „The Map and the Territory” by Michel Welbeck, „Certain Judgments about Byzantium” by Velimir Churgus Kazimir. This article analyzes the problem of reality and literature interrelation and the problem of man and landscape relations. It is memory and place through the landscape that allow to connect local, ethnic and global aspects into a single whole. Cultural and civilization projections, map and territory designs are perceived in modern humanities as a manifestation of struggle and mutual overlay of „tree” and „root” cultures. The research of the transcultural communications in the artistic space, allows to define modern aesthetics as the universalistic functions. Local space and limited geo-cultural landscape inspires individual mythology of modern writers. In modern fiction we often observe incorporation of historical facts, fragments of pseudo-documents, description of real landscapes and maps of invented territories into the text.

Remote-sensing methods in monitoring the glacierization of Mount EI‛ brus are used to produce base and dynamic maps, and to obtain quantitative information (dynamic indices) about the rate, intensity, and variations of the process. The monitoring system is divided, according to scope and territory covered, into small-scale for total glacierization and the periglacial zone, medium-scale for separate glaciers, and large-scale (detailed) for part of the glaciers or sectors of the adjoining slopes. The approximate relationship of even scales is 1 : 4. Small-scale monitoring remote-sensing systems are important for making maps showing the complex characteristics of the glaciological system. A series of maps was produced including geographical, those of high-altitude zones, slope and exposure angles, geological, glaciomorphological, climatic (temperature, precipitation, and winds), distribution of direct solar radiation, hydrological (source of streams), seats of avalanches, and landslides. All these data serve as a cartographical basis in monitoring the glacierization of Mount EI‛ brus. They are compiled from remotely sensed and Earth-based data. Current monitoring on a small scale includes observations of the conditions which determine the existence of the glacial system - this includes data on winter snowfall and the period of snow cover. These observations were obtained from meteorological and resource satellites, and from scanner data of medium and high resolution. Also important are observations of changes in the outline of glaciers, times of snowfall and character of the distribution of snow, and its redistribution due to avalanches and snowstorms. High-resolution space photographs, small-scale aerial photographs, and aerovisual observations provide the data for these observations. It has been determined that the area of the glaciers of Mount El‛ brus has been reduced by 1 % in the last 25 years, i.e. the rate of its deglacierization dropped sharply as compared to preceding decades. The role of quantitative information gains importance in the medium-scale level of monitoring. Topographical maps of separate glaciers compiled from aerial photographs or data from ground stereo-photogrammetric surveys constitute the base maps at this level. The main method used in monitoring were large-scale surveys from aircraft, perspective surveys from helicopters, and phototheodolite surveys. Multi-date surveys of the glaciers provide data about the changes in their outlines and height, the character of their relief, their moraines, the amount of snow accumulation and ablation in separate years, the surface rates of ice flow and their fluctuations. The techniques by which quantitative information is obtained about changes in the glaciers are derived from processing the data of multi-date surveys. The organization and techniques of phototheodolite surveys have been improved. A theory evolved for determining the surface-ice movement by stereo-photogrammetric means and the technique for it has also improved; algorithms and programs for machine processing of the data of multi-date surveys (ground and from aircraft) have been produced At this level of monitoring, it has been found that the retreat rate of most glaciers has slowed down and several glaciers are now in equilibrium. Several glaciers became active at the beginning of the 1970s and 1980s; this was accompanied by an increase in their height and forward movement. For example, activation of Kyukyurtlyu Glacier has been recorded (higher surface and increasing flow rate) which has caused the glacier to move forward 100 m. Surveys at an interval of 2 years recorded the beginning of the process of retreat of this glacier. Detailed monitoring is used to detect the mechanism of the dynamic processes and to study it on local representative sectors. On a glacier it may take the form of annual surveys of its tongue, which makes it possible to observe the processes of formation of moraines and glacio-fluvial relief. Studies may also be made of the mechanism of the movement of avalanches and landslides, deducing their quantitative characteristics and appraising the results of avalanches and landslides. Multi-date surveys of sectors of the slopes provide information about processes in the periglacial zone. At this level, regularly repeated ground stereo-photogrammetric surveys are the main means of observation. Glaciological remote-sensing monitoring provides a wealth of data for theoretical development in the field of glaciology. It makes it possible to forecast and produce warnings about hazardous processes and phenomena.

Abstract. In the fall of 2017, an airborne field campaign was conducted from the NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center in Palmdale, California, to advance the remote sensing of aerosols and clouds with multi-angle polarimeters (MAP) and lidars. The Aerosol Characterization from Polarimeter and Lidar (ACEPOL) campaign was jointly sponsored by NASA and the Netherlands Institute for Space Research (SRON). Six instruments were deployed on the ER-2 high-altitude aircraft. Four were MAPs: the Airborne Hyper Angular Rainbow Polarimeter (AirHARP), the Airborne Multiangle SpectroPolarimetric Imager (AirMSPI), the Airborne Spectrometer for Planetary EXploration (SPEX airborne), and the Research Scanning Polarimeter (RSP). The remainder were lidars, including the Cloud Physics Lidar (CPL) and the High Spectral Resolution Lidar 2 (HSRL-2). The southern California base of ACEPOL enabled observation of a wide variety of scene types, including urban, desert, forest, coastal ocean, and agricultural areas, with clear, cloudy, polluted, and pristine atmospheric conditions. Flights were performed in coordination with satellite overpasses and ground-based observations, including the Ground-based Multiangle SpectroPolarimetric Imager (GroundMSPI), sun photometers, and a surface reflectance spectrometer. ACEPOL is a resource for remote sensing communities as they prepare for the next generation of spaceborne MAP and lidar missions. Data are appropriate for algorithm development and testing, instrument intercomparison, and investigations of active and passive instrument data fusion. They are freely available to the public. The DOI for the primary database is https://doi.org/10.5067/SUBORBITAL/ACEPOL2017/DATA001 (ACEPOL Science Team, 2017), while for AirMSPI it is https://doi.org/10.5067/AIRCRAFT/AIRMSPI/ACEPOL/RADIANCE/ELLIPSOID_V006 and https://doi.org/10.5067/AIRCRAFT/AIRMSPI/ACEPOL/RADIANCE/TERRAIN_V006 (ACEPOL AirMSPI 75 Science Team, 2017a, b). GroundMSPI data are at https://doi.org/10.5067/GROUND/GROUNDMSPI/ACEPOL/RADIANCE_v009 (GroundMSPI Science Team, 2017). Table 3 lists further details of these archives. This paper describes ACEPOL for potential data users and also provides an outline of requirements for future field missions with similar objectives.

Full textAbstract:
The spontaneous pairing of rolled-up vortices in a laminar jet is investigated as a global secondary instability of a time-periodic spatially developing vortex street. The growth of subharmonic perturbations, associated with vortex pairing, is analysed both in terms of modal Floquet instability and in terms of transient growth dynamics. The article has the double objective to outline a toolset for the global analysis of time-periodic flows, and to leverage such an analysis for a fresh view on the vortex pairing phenomenon. Axisymmetric direct numerical simulations (DNS) of jets with single-frequency inflow forcing are performed, in order to identify combinations of the Reynolds and Strouhal numbers for which vortex pairing is naturally observed. The same DNS calculations are then repeated with an added time-delay control term, which artificially suppresses pairing, so as to obtain time-periodic unpaired base flows for linear stability analysis. It is demonstrated that the natural occurrence of vortex pairing in nonlinear DNS coincides with a linear subharmonic Floquet instability of the underlying unpaired vortex street. However, DNS results suggest that the onset of pairing involves much stronger temporal growth of subharmonic perturbations than that predicted by modal Floquet analysis, as well as a spatial distribution of these fast-growing perturbation structures that is inconsistent with the unstable Floquet mode. Singular value decomposition of the phase-shift operator (the operator that maps a given perturbation field to its state one flow period later) is performed for an analysis of optimal transient growth in the vortex street. Non-modal mechanisms near the jet inlet are thus found to provide a fast route towards the limit-cycle regime of established vortex pairing, in good agreement with DNS observations. It is concluded that modal Floquet analysis accurately predicts the parameter regime where sustained vortex pairing occurs, but that the bifurcation scenario under typical conditions is dominated by transient growth phenomena.

Full textAbstract:
Outlier detection is critical in many business applications, as it recognizes unusual behaviours to prevent losses and optimize revenue. For example, illegitimate online transactions can be detected based on its pattern with outlier detection. The performance of existing outlier detection methods is limited by the pattern/behaviour of the dataset; these methods may not perform well without prior knowledge of the dataset. This paper proposes a multi-level outlier detection algorithm (MCOD) that uses multi-level unsupervised learning to cluster the data and discover outliers. The proposed detection method is tested on datasets in different fields with different sizes and dimensions. Experimental analysis has shown that the proposed MCOD algorithm has the ability to improving the outlier detection rate, as compared to the traditional anomaly detection methods. Enterprises and organizations can adopt the proposed MCOD algorithm to ensure a sustainable and efficient detection of frauds/outliers to increase profitability (and/or) to enhance business outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last 70 years, Holocaust representations increased significantly as cultural objects distributed on a large scale: fictional books, museum sites, artworks, documentaries, and films are only a few samples of those echoes the Holocaust produced in contemporary Western culture. There are some specific patterns in the way the Holocaust has been represented that, however, contrast with the survivors’ account of the same event: for example, the dichotomy between bad and good characters so essential within Holocaust-based media – especially on television and film - does not really match with the testimony’s experience. While storytelling strategies may help to involve the public by emotionally engaging with the story, the risks of altering the real meaning of the Holocaust are quite high: what we often label as a “story” is actually been an outrageous, documented mass-genocide. Furthermore, as the age gap between the present and the past generation progresses, also the collective awareness of Nazi crimes as a real fact gets compromised. This volume explores selected Holocaust narrations by contextualizing the historical, literary, and social influences those texts had in their unique points of view. Starting with some recent examples of Holocaust exploitation through social media, the first chapter explores the paradigm shift when the Holocaust became a cultural, fictional trend rather than a historical massacre. In the second chapter, the analysis examines postmodern representations of Holocaust and Nazi semantics through relevant examples taken from both American and European literature. The third chapter analyses Europe Central by William T. Vollman, as all the narratological and cultural issues considered in the previous two chapters are well outlined in this articulated novel, where the relationship between reality and its representation after the postmodernist period is largely investigated. In chapter four, an account is given of the connections and differences between the narratological category romance, as understood by Northrop Frye, and Holocaust narration features. In chapter five, those elements are used to consider the work of Italian Holocaust survivor and Jewish writer Primo Levi, as his narration around Auschwitz adopts some fictional tools and still refuses undemanding storytelling mechanisms. The sixth and final chapter examines the relevant novel Les Benviellants by Jonathan Littell, considering its Nazi genocide account through the antagonist’s perspective.

Bowd, Stephen D. Renaissance Mass Murder. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198832614.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Renaissance Mass Murder explores the devastating impact of war on the men and women of the Renaissance. In contrast to the picture of balance and harmony usually associated with the Renaissance, it uncovers in forensic detail a world in which sacks of Italian cities and massacres of civilians at the hands of French, German, Spanish, Swiss, and Italian troops were regular occurrences. The arguments presented are based on a wealth of evidence—histories and chronicles, poetry and paintings, sculpture and other objects—which together provide a new and startling history of sixteenth-century Italy and a social history of the Italian Wars. It outlines how massacres happened, how princes, soldiers, lawyers, and writers, justified and explained such events, and how they were represented in contemporary culture. On this basis the book reconstructs the terrifying individual experiences of civilians in the face of war and in doing so offers a story of human tragedy which redresses the balance of the history of the Italian Wars, and of Renaissance warfare, in favour of the civilian and away from the din of the battlefield. This book also places mass murder in a broader historical context and challenges claims that such violence was unusual or in decline in early modern Europe. Finally, it shows that women often suffered disproportionately from this violence and that immunity for them, as for their children, was often partially developed or poorly respected.

Garnett, Stephen, and Donald Franklin, eds. Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Australian Birds. CSIRO Publishing, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/9780643108035.
Full textAbstract:
This is the first climate change adaptation plan produced for a national faunal group anywhere in the world. It outlines the nature of threats related to climate change for the Australian bird taxa most likely to be affected by climate change, and provides recommendations on what might be done to assist them and approximate costs of doing so. It also features an analysis of how climate change will affect all Australian birds, explains why some species are likely to be more exposed or sensitive to it than others, and explores the theory and practice of conservation management under the realities of a changing climate.
Species profiles include maps showing current core habitat and modelled climatic suitability based on historical records, as well as maps showing projected climatic suitability in 2085 in relation to current core habitat.
Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Australian Birds is an important reference for policy makers, conservation scientists, land managers, climate change adaptation biologists, as well as bird watchers and advocacy groups.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter argues that the United States faces a crisis of representation, for while crime rates remain stable, the TV and other corporate-controlled mass media bury viewers beneath an avalanche of fear-based spectacles in which crime and violence are portrayed as escalating, even life-threatening crises. It then outlines a new program of media education that enables consumers of mass media to develop more informed and empowering views of the complexities of crime and violence. Focusing on prime-time dramatic television as the most prevalent source of fictional images of violence, crime, and incarceration, the chapter addresses the distorted narratives and images that saturate popular television dramas. Drawing upon interviews with ex-prisoners, it also shows how media representations of imprisonment, though inaccurate and misleading, shape the perceptions even of those who have themselves been incarcerated.

This chapter reviews the characterization of geometrically finite rational maps and then outlines a framework for characterizing holomorphic maps. Whereas Thurston's methods are based on estimates of hyperbolic distortion in hyperbolic geometry, the framework suggested here is based on controlling conformal distortion in spherical geometry. The new framework enables one to relax two of Thurston's assumptions: first, that the iterated map has finite degree and, second, that its post-critical set is finite. Thus, it makes possible to characterize certain rational maps for which the post-critical set is not finite as well as certain classes of entire and meromorphic coverings for which the iterated map has infinite degree.

Full textAbstract:
Visual localization is a key capability in robotics and in augmented reality applications. It estimates the 3D position of a camera on real time just analyzing the image stream. This chapter presents a robust map-based 3D visual localization system. It relies on maps of the scenarios built with the known tool RTABmap. It consists of three steps on continuous loop: feature points computation on the input frame, matching with feature points on the map keyframes (using kNN and outlier rejection), and 3D final estimation using PnP geometry and optimization. The system has been experimentally validated in several scenarios. In addition, an empirical study of the effect of three matching outlier rejection mechanisms (radio test, fundamental matrix, and homography matrix) on the quality of estimated 3D localization has been performed. The outlier rejection mechanisms, combined themselves or alone, reduce the number of matched feature points but increase their quality, and so, the accuracy of the 3D estimation. The combination of ratio test and homography matrix provides the best results.

This chapter outlines how patterns of socio-political organizing diverged in the Palestinian and Salvadoran cases during the beginning of their respective conflicttopeace transitions. Departing from explanations that focus on the professionalization of mass-based organizations, the author explains how the domestic political contexts shaped the mediating role of Western donor funding. More specifically, the book argues the that “inclusivity” of political settlements (assessed by the extent of participation of major political groups and the degree of societal support) shaped the relative effectiveness of democracy promotion efforts and the impact of Western donor assistance on civil society and democratic development more generally. This chapter also explains how civil society is being addressed in the book and the methodology employed, which is a structured, focused comparison that is historically sensitive but conducive to generalizing across cases. It also explains how the quality of civil society and democratic development are assessed, and why the women’s sectors were chosen to examine these developments. It concludes with an outline of the remaining chapters of the book.

Of any cluster of illnesses outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), none is more prevalent, likely to serve as a comorbid diagnosis, or costly in the United States than anxiety disorders. This chapter outlines the applications of the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP) for the treatment of such disorders. First, we briefly review the background research that provides context for the use of transdiagnostic treatment for anxiety disorders. The UP, with its intent to target comorbidity, is an approach that can be especially helpful for therapists who want to use an evidence-based treatment, prefer the structure of a manualized protocol, and value the benefits that a workbook can bring to patients. We then present two clinical case studies to demonstrate how each individual module of the UP maps onto typical cases of principal and comorbid anxiety. Recommendations for specific methods of protocol implementation are also described.

Geographic Information Systems (GISs), which map spatiotemporal event data on geographical maps, have proven to be useful in many applications. Time-based Geographic Information Systems (GISs) allow practitioners to visualize collected data in an intuitive way. However, while current GIS systems have proven to be useful in post hoc analysis and provide simple two-dimensional geographic visualizations, their design typically lacks the features necessary for highly targeted real-time surveillance with the goal of spread prevention. This paper outlines the design, implementation, and usage of a 3D framework for real-time geospatial temporal visualization. In this case study, using livestock movements, the authors show that the framework is capable of tracking and simulating the spread of epidemic diseases. Although the application discussed in this paper relates to livestock disease, the proposed framework can be used to manage and visualize other types of high-dimensional multimedia data as well.

Chapter 53 outlines the importance of early career decisions at medical school and career destinations. Choosing a specialty is a preoccupation of every medical student: keeping an open mind while experiencing what is on offer is important, and yet some early career decisions can focus the CV towards a career goal. This chapter offers advice on how to manage this decision-making process and where to find out more information. In particular, the selection of base hospital, student-selected components, medical elective, intercalated degree, project option/research placement, and entry for prizes are examples of choices facing each medical student for which advice is offered. Career decision tools are available which may help an individual to understand their working preferences/styles and how these may map to a given specialty. An approach to considering personality traits and job traits is outlined which may assist with decision-making. Choosing a career is an exciting process and one that you will justify to many medical students, friends, and colleagues in the future. A plethora of helpful resources are listed at the end of this chapter to help you in making this important decision.

Elastography techniques are being developed to diagnose and monitor the progression and treatment of diseases that correlate with changes in soft tissue stiffness. The objective of this paper is to outline the application of vibrations to the human cornea in order to reconstruct a stiffness map. Having a localized stiffness map is useful for early diagnosis of cornea related diseases such as glaucoma and keratoconus. Experimental data was collected by directly vibrating the excised cornea axisymetrically along the edge and measuring wave propagation inward with the use of laser vibrometry. Different methods have been implemented to increase the reflectivity of the cornea for laser vibrometry. To corroborate the data, as well as to test feasibility, experiments have been done on phantoms constructed from silicone-based polymers. To reconstruct the data into a stiffness map, an appropriate analytical model has to be derived. This paper outlines the derivation of the analytical model for the cornea starting with simple circular plates and moving towards the curved geometry of the cornea. To verify the analytical model, finite element simulations were used to replicate the results. These results have also been checked against experimental data to help determine any external variables that affect results. Overall, the feasibility and application of a process has been determined. Future goals include increasing in-vivo application to make the process safe and cost-effective.

In order to understand heat transfer processes at the microscale, detailed temperature measurements are required. This paper begins with a review of the current state-of-the art in fluid temperature measurement at the microscale. At present, fluid temperature profiles are not measured, with verification of predicted heat transfer performance being based on global measurements. The paper describes a potential full-field technique based on micro-interferometry. The accuracy of extracting temperature data from small phase difference intensity maps is discussed, with particular reference to the high levels of signal to noise as would be found in a micro-scale flow. Benchmark optical experiments quantifying the effect of noise on phase evaluation are described and the paper concludes with an outline of the achievable resolution for a given channel length and fluid.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Hot electron induced beta degradation has been observed from fiber optic transistors after multiple parametric testing. Beta degradation originated from increasing base leakage current due to the multiple testing. Base leakage current increases were directly related to the hot electron phenourenon at Si- SiO2 interface layer. The hot electron effect broke down the trivalent silicon and its hydrogen compounds (SisH) at the interface layer, which created mobile interstitial hydrogen atoms (Hi) and trivalent silicon atoms Si* (interface trap charges) at the same time. Typically, the -SisH forms during the post metallization anneal. This paper will outline the following topics: 1.) The generation of mobile hydrogen atoms and trap charges at the Si-SiO2 intedhce due to the hot electron phenomenon and its relationship to transistor beta degradation. 2.) A quantitative analysis of hydrogen atoms measured by Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS), and a direct relation-ship model between beta degradation and hydrogen profiles at the interface layer. 3.) Experimental result showing transistor beta recover as well as the repopulation of the hydrogen atoms at the interface layer after low temperature annealing (150 °C to 200 °C bake).

Full textAbstract:
Aim/Purpose: This project aims to prototype the functionality of a user-generated geospatial meteorology map. This includes the design and implementation of a database driven website with a public and a password protected admin component, in addition to database, web server and hardware components. Background: Previous research described and assessed the feasibility of a system in which end-users generate environmental data and examined the quality of the data provided. We sought to distill the minimum essential use-cases to achieve the required functionality, based on preexisting and original theorization, and then implement them in a functional prototype. Contribution: The possible value of this potential information system, both as a dataset for metrology, climatology, ecology, as well as other fields of research, and also as an end-user web service for highly accurate weather reports, has been noted by previous researchers. The specific contribution of this project is to, by the implementation of a functional prototype, establish that a smart device can remotely generate geopositioned weather reports, which can be accepted by a central server and displayed on a public world map. Findings: Through the implementation of the project, we were able to assess the quality of the use-cases outlined. We found the project was a functional information system, with each public server-side and hardware competent interfacing cor-rectly, most limitations resulting from the scope of the project. Impact on Society: This would unlock the possibility of the next step towards the full realization of the theoretical information system: a limited real world rollout. Future Research: As this project outlines and implements the minimum use-cases required to this system, future research would ideally involve the limited real-world rollout of the system and asses the quality of the data provided. Further research could also be conducted on data quality assurance strategies, both at the point end-user device sensors and broad-scale error correction.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Achieving the objectives of the American and European long-term air transport in terms of emission reduction requires to shift to hybrid/electric aircraft by 2050. This implies the development of distributed propulsion systems using multiple low-diameter lightly-loaded shrouded rotors, operating at high rotational speed and moderate flight Mach number. The relevance of characteristic maps of such a propulsive system is discussed in this paper. It is based on an integrative approach, that takes advantage of the two different formalisms generally found when dealing with aeronautical propulsion : either propeller diagrams (external aerodynamics) or turbomachinery maps (internal aero-dynamics). It outlines the main parameters representing the shrouded rotors performance and the parameters that drive them in a self-similar way. This is done by dimensional analysis, taking into account the geometric and operating parameters of both the rotor and the shroud and their combined variables. The self-similarity is observed with potential flow and RANS computations, which credits the proposed formalism as a powerful tool for scaling the shrouded rotors.

A parametric study of the unstalled flutter stability characteristics of compressor and turbine cascades in subsonic and supersonic flow is carried out. Based on typical section two-dimensional cascade models, stability boundaries and dominant trends in flutter behaviour are outlined with emphasis on the effects of (a) single mode structural coupling in bending and torsion, (b) coupling among multiple blade degrees of freedom, (c) mass ratio and structural damping, (d) compressibility, (e) cascade solidity and stagger, and (f) steady aerodynamic blade loading. Practical design aspects are in the foreground of all of these investigations.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper we report initial efforts in developing large-eddy simulation (LES) subgrid-scale (SGS) models capable of treating turbulence-radiation interactions in sufficient detail to permit calculation of radiation intensity fluctuations on small scales. These models are constructed with a fluctuating component consisting of a discrete dynamical system (chaotic map) and are thus completely deterministic. We present an outline of the development of this formulation and then employ experimental data to generate large-scale behavior permitting what might be viewed as part of an a priori test of the SGS model. We display spatially extensive instantaneous fluctuating temperatures produced by the model as well as time series of fluctuating intensity calculated from the radiative transfer equation at several heights in a pool fire. We conclude that such results are physically realistic (and very efficiently computed) and warrant continued investigations, but we have at this time not yet completely validated the approach due to lack of detailed laboratory data.

Full textAbstract:
Consideration of aspects of the functioning of mass media in society requires a comprehensive approach based on universal media theory. The article presents an attempt to consider public events in terms of a functional approach to understanding the media, proposed by media theorist Dennis McQuayl in the theory of mass communication. Public events are analyzed, on the one hand, as a complex object of journalistic reflection and, on the other hand, as a situational media that examines the relationship of agents of the social and media fields in the space of communication interaction. Taking into account philosophical approaches to the interpretation of the concept of event, considering its semantic spectrum, specificity of use and synonyms in the Ukrainian language, a working definition of the concept of public event is given. Based on case-analysis of public events, In accordance with the functions of the media the functions of public events are outlined. This is is promising for the development of study on typology of public events in the context of mass communication theory. The realization of the functions of public events as situational media is illustrated with such vivid examples of cultural events as «Gogolfest» and «Book Forum in Lviv». The author shows that a functional approach to understanding public events in society and their place in the space of mass communication, opens prospects for studying the role of media in reflecting the phenomena of social reality, clarifying the presence and quality of communication between media producers and media consumers.
