Abstract. We present a GIS-based model for predicting debris-flows occurrence. The availability of two different digital datasets and the use of a Digital Elevation Model (at a given scale) have greatly enhanced our ability to quantify and to analyse the topography in relation to debris-flows. In particular, analysing the relationship between debris-flows and the various causative factors provides new understanding of the mechanisms. We studied the contact zone between the calcareous basement and the fluvial-lacustrine infill adjacent northern area of the Terni basin (Umbria, Italy), and identified eleven basins and corresponding alluvial fans. We suggest that accumulations of colluvium in topographic hollows, whatever the sources might be, should be considered potential debris-flow source areas. In order to develop a susceptibility map for the entire area, an index was calculated from the number of initiation locations in each causative factor unit divided by the areal extent of that unit within the study area. This index identifies those units that produce the most debris-flows in each Representative Elementary Area (REA). Finally, the results are presented with the advantages and the disadvantages of the approach, and the need for further research.

A collaboration between the American University of Rome, the Municipality of Giove, and Soprintendenza Archeologia, Belle Arti e Paesaggio dellʼUmbria has resulted in an academic project aimed at a preliminary evaluation of a particular area along the Tiber river that straddles the border between Umbria and Lazio. Archaeological prospection methods, such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-based remote sensing, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), and photogrammetry, have made it possible to better study the landscape with respect to not only the changes the area has undergone recently, but also its evolution during the Roman and Medieval periods, while keeping the main communication route represented by the Tiber river as its fulcrum.

Full textAbstract:
Monitoring soil impacts related to forest operations is crucial to reach the sustainable forest management goal. On the other hand, field survey to assess such kind of impact is usually costly and time consuming. Therefore, the possibility of using remote and proximal sensing technologies to analyze forest soil impacts could be very helpful for forest managers. According to this, the aim of the present work was the evaluation of reliability of three different remote sensing tools for the assessment of soil impacts related to forest operations. The study area consisted in an oak coppice located in the Municipality of Castel Giorgio (Terni District, Central Italy). The different tested technologies were Sentinel-2, Google Earth and an unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with an RGB sensor. After forest utilization, images of the study area were obtained by the above-mentioned systems, and a photo-interpretation process allowed the identification of skid trails patterns produced by the operators during the extraction of timber. The three theoretical skid trails patterns were compared with the real one, obtained by field relief with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) technology. The obtained results showed that all these systems still need some improvements for an effective application in the Italian forest sector, concerning soil impacts evaluation after forest operations.

AbstractDuring the breeding periods of 2018 and 2019 we investigated the extent of areas Common Terns Sterna hirundo use while searching for food. We used GPS-UHF tags to follow the movements of 23 terns from Slovenia (7 individuals) and Croatia (16 individuals). We investigated the movements of birds from three breeding sites, i.e. Lakes Ptuj, Siromaja 2 and Rakitje. Conclusions are based on 43,105 locations which were collected with a frequency of one reading per 20 minutes during the day and one reading per 4 hours during the night.In Slovenia, terns used a 60 km long and narrow area over Stara struga Drave (former river-bed of the Drava River) between Ormož and Maribor as well as eleven fishponds / lakes in its surroundings, most of them in the Pesnica valley. The most distant location was 30 km of straight line from breeding islands, but it was visited only once by a single tern. The areas with the most locations, hence important areas, were Lake Ptuj, Drava at Ptuj, Stara struga Drave between Ptuj and Rošnja and about 20 km distant Lakes Radehova and Gradiško. These were probably the most important feeding areas for Common Terns breeding on Lake Ptuj. In Croatia, terns were found along the Sava almost exclusively, with only a few visits more than 2 km from the river. The most distant locations were over 60 km away from the breeding grounds, but terns visited them only rarely. Most locations of terns nesting on Siromaja were within a 5 km radius, while terns from Rakitje were making regular flights to waters up to 23 km from their colony. The area with the most locations visited by terns from both colonies was the Sava at Hrušćica. Besides, birds from the Rakitje colony were frequently recorded on the Sava near Savica and waterbodies within 5 km of the colony. These were probably the most important feeding areas for Common Terns breeding around Zagreb.

Full textAbstract:
The Italian burden of disease associated with infections due to antibiotic-resistant bacteria has been very high, largely attributed to Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-Kp). The implementation of infection control measures and antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP) has been shown to reduce healthcare-related infections caused by multidrug resistance (MDR) germs. Since 2016, in our teaching hospital of Terni, an ASP has been implemented in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting, with the “daily-ICU round strategy” and particular attention to infection control measures. We performed active surveillance for search patients colonized by Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). In March 2020, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) arrived and the same ICU was reserved only for COVID-19 patients. In our retrospective observational study, we analyzed the bimonthly incidence of CRE colonization patients and the incidence of CRE acquisition in our ICU during the period of January 2019 to June 2020. In consideration of the great attention and training of all staff on infection control measures in the COVID-19 era, we would have expected a clear reduction in CRE acquisition, but this did not happen. In fact, the incidence of CRE acquisition went from 6.7% in 2019 to 50% in March–April 2020. We noted that 67% of patients that had been changed in posture with prone position were colonized by CRE, while only 37% of patients that had not been changed in posture were colonized by CRE. In our opinion, the high intensity of care, the prone position requiring 4–5 healthcare workers (HCWs), equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE) in a high risk area, with extended and prolonged contact with the patient, and the presence of 32 new HCWs from other departments and without work experience in the ICU setting, contributed to the spread of CR-Kp in our ICU, determining an increase in CRE acquisition colonization.

Full textAbstract:
The mean age of air (MAA) is one of the most useful parameters in evaluating indoor air quality in natural ventilated buildings. Its evaluation is generally based on the CO2 monitoring within the environment; however, other methods can be found in the literature, but they have not always led to satisfactory results. In this context, the present paper is focused on two main topics: the effect of the windows airtightness and of the environmental conditions on MAA and the application of artificial neural network (ANN) for the CO2 prediction within the room. Two case studies (case study 1 located in Terni and case study 2 located in Perugia) were investigated, which differ in geometric dimensions (useful area, volume, window area) and in airtightness of windows. The indoor and outdoor environmental conditions (air temperature, pressure, relative humidity, air velocity, and indoor CO2 concentration) were monitored in 33 experimental campaigns, in four room configurations: open door-open window (OD-OW); closed door-open window (CD-OW); open door-closed window (OD-CW); closed door-closed window (CD-CW). Tracer decay methodology, according to ISO 16000-8:2007 standard, was compiled during all the experimental campaigns. A feedforward ANN, able to simulate the indoor CO2 concentration within the rooms, was then implemented; the monitored environmental conditions (air temperature, pressure, relative humidity, and air velocity), the geometric dimensions (useful area, volume, window area), and the airtightness of windows were provided as input data, while the CO2 concentration was used as target. In particular, data of 19 experimental campaigns were provided for the training process of the network, while 14 were only used for testing the reliability of ANN. The CO2 concentration predicted by ANN was then used for the MAA calculation in the four room configurations. Experimental results show that MAA of case study 2 is always higher, in all the examined configurations, due to the higher airtightness characteristics of the window and to the higher volume of the room. When the difference between indoor and outdoor temperature increases, the MAA increases too, in almost all the investigated configurations. Finally, the CO2 concentration predicted by ANN was compared with experimental data; results show a good accuracy of the network both in CO2 prediction and in the MAA calculation. The predicted CO2 concentration at the beginning of experimental campaigns (time step 0) always differs less than 2% from experimental data, while a mean percentage difference of −18.8% was found considering the maximum CO2 concentration. The MAA calculated using the predicted CO2 of ANN was greater than the one obtained from experimental data, with a difference in the 0.5–1.3 min range, depending on the configuration. According to the results, the developed ANN can be considered an alternative and valuable tool for a preliminary evaluation of MAA.

Full textAbstract:
La tematica dell interesse sociale rappresenta da sempre uno dei problemi fondamentali del diritto societario.
La definizione di tale nozione è essenziale ai fini della delimitazione del campo di applicazione di diverse norme del nostro ordinamento che all interesse sociale fanno riferimento.
Il progetto di ricerca intende soffermarsi soprattutto sulla ricostruzione del concetto di interesse per conto di terzi, contemplato dagli artt. 2373 e 2391 c.c., sulla cui portata la cultura giuridica manifesta da lungo tempo opinioni divergenti.
In particolare, controverso è se la predetta espressione si riferisca esclusivamente a situazioni nelle quali il socio o l amministratore siano titolari di un obbligo giuridico specifico di agire per conto altrui, come accade nelle ipotesi di contratto di mandato, oppure se tale riferimento possa essere inteso in senso più ampio, diventando lo strumento per apprestare tutela contro quelle relazioni poco trasparenti dietro le quali si nascondono deviazioni dal perseguimento dell interesse sociale, con pregiudizio per le minoranze.
Rispetto all impianto codicistico originario, il sistema normativo attuale risulta notevolmente cambiato: in particolare, con la riforma del 2003, il legislatore ha disciplinato nel Codice Civile, sia pur in modo parziale, il fenomeno dei gruppi societari, introducendo un capo intitolato "Attività di direzione e coordinamento di società".
Il progetto di ricerca intende anche valutare la possibilità di inquadrare nell ambito della disciplina dell interesse sociale la tutela di quei soggetti che, a vario titolo coinvolti nelle dinamiche dei gruppi societari, rischiano di essere esposti a decisioni pregiudizievoli della maggioranza, e cioè i creditori delle società eterodirette e i soci esterni al gruppo stesso.
Occorre anche chiedersi se, allo stato normativo attuale, sia configurabile un interesse di gruppo, autonomo e distinto da quello delle singole società, e comunque se le disposizioni sull attività di direzione e coordinamento possano incidere su quelle relative agli interessi degli amministratori e ai conflitti di interesse, visto anche il riconoscimento nell art. 2497 c.c. dei meccanismi compensativi.
Meritano di essere approfondite anche le implicazioni derivanti dalla disciplina delle operazioni con parti correlate. Quest ultima normativa sembra confermare la sensazione che le relazioni di gruppo rappresentino il terreno più fertile per l emersione di sovrapposizioni di interessi pericolose per le minoranze.

Master of Science<br>Department of Architecture<br>David R. Seamon<br>Kamaiya is a system of Nepalese agriculture bonded labor. In typical wage labor, one can enter or withdraw from the labor market as an independent agent; in the case of bonded labor, however, a worker cannot control his or her labor power. The Kamaiyas were liberated by the Nepalese government in 2000, and promised land to build houses. Without enough money for construction, however, many of these “ex-Kamaiyas,” as they are now called, are without housing or live in sub-standard units.
This thesis examines the housing possibilities for the ex-Kamaiyas and aims at creating basic guidelines for planning and designing low-cost, self-help housing. The thesis is an attempt to design affordable and environmentally responsive housing that draws on Nepalese vernacular traditions but incorporates some modern materials and construction methods. The research and designs are based on interviews with ex-Kamaiyas living in the Nepalese villages of Tesanpur, Janatanagar, and Bhuri Gaun. The thesis serves as a guide for non-profit organizations working to provide housing for the ex-Kamaiyas and consists of guidelines, termed “design patterns,” for laying out ex-Kamaiya neighborhoods and for designing and constructing individual houses. The thesis also provides step-by-step construction guidelines for building the houses. The thesis’s last chapter evaluates the proposed housing system and identifies strengths and weaknesses.

The purpose of this research was to analyze the participants of the Tern sightings and their Tern sighting behaviors. The variables of this research included the participation motivation, relaxation involvement and the relaxation benefits. The research employed questionnaire method to target the participants of the Matsu Tern Sighting Season to conduct convenience sampling for this research. We obtained 306 valid questionnaires. As for statistical analysis, we used descriptive statistics, factor analysis, independent samples t-test, ANOVA, simple regression analysis and correlation analysis to verify the hypothesis this research established. After analyzing the above, this research concluded:
1.Among the 306 valid samples, the majority of Tern sighting participants were female who were between 31 to 40 years old, married with children, college education, military/police/teacher/government agents with household income of 20,000 to 60,000.
2.The different background variable for the Tern sighting participants in the “participation motivation” dimension showed no significant difference.
3.The different background variable for the Tern sighting participants in the “relaxation involvement” dimension showed differences in different occupations and household income.
4.The different background variables for the Tern sighting participants in the “relaxation benefits” dimension showed difference in different age groups, marriage status, occupation, education levels, household income, and resident location.
5.The participation motivation and the relaxation involvement of the Tern sighting participants were positively correlated.
6.The relaxation involvement and relaxation benefits of the Tern sighting participants were positively correlated.
7.The relaxation benefits and the participation motivation of the Tern sighting participants were positively correlated.
We hope that with the results and conclusion of this research, we can provide useful references to relevant authorities and promotional units for developing Tern sighting activities and future researches.

碩士<br>國立雲林科技大學<br>空間設計系碩士班<br>92<br>An average of 47.1 Inner-hospital infections in one thousand days occurs in nursing house. The control of infection is one of the most critical quality monitoring items of long term nursing environment. In general, the disabled patients in nursing house always are implanted some piping healthcare devices, such as tracheostomy, nasal stomachal pipe or catheter. Besides above mentioned, the long-term medication also causes the immunity of patients so weak as to get infected easily. Most nursing institutions in Taiwan rely on the ventilating machine or central air-conditioning system as the mechanism of decreasing infection rate by adjusting the room temperature and ventilation, so the control of air quality is also the important way to avoid the infection. Because most residential patient need to take many kinds of nursing cares, the nursing behaviors, environmental condition and medical equipments all these items are thought as the influence of the air quality in nursing house and the key factors of infection control.
Through the literature review on the nursing behavior, infection control and air quality, the testing indexes to check whether the room air quality of nursing house is under control within the safety standard have been found ,and evaluated by the five following items: CO2, dust, temperature, humidity and air velocity. In this paper, the observations are four nursing institutions in the center area of Taiwan. Use the strata sampling method to take 33 rooms as the sample from 88 rooms and also utilize the instruments to find the five testing indexes mentioned above. Give the nursing staff the structural questionnaire to know their nursing behaviors. Finally, the testing result of air quality can be calculated by SPSS. SPSS doesn’t only provide the descriptive analysis, but also have a cross analysis by using Scheffe method. It showed the influence of nursing behaviors, environmental conditions, and the use of medical equipments on the aspect of air quality.
The research results are as follow: first, the critical items with significant influence on CO2 index are the room capacity and the area of window-opening. Second, the critical items with significant influence on dust index are the use of bathroom facilities, the use of wheelchair, diaper change, and environmental sweeping. Third, the critical items with significant influence on air velocity index are window-opening and the use of air-conditioning facilities. Fourth, the critical items with significant influence on temperature index are small area of window-opening, the use of lighting facilities and the aid of bath-taking. Fifth, the critical items with significant influence on humidity index are small window-opening, the aid of bath-taking, the aid of washing and dressing, sweeping and cleaning, perineum flushing, and the use of medical equipments.

Full textAbstract:
Technological advancements are poised to completely transform the financial system, making it unrecognizable in just a few short decades. Banks are increasingly using financial technologies, or “fintech,” to deliver products and services and maximize their profits. Technology enthusiasts and some consumer advocates laude fintech for its potential to expand access to banking and finance. If history is any indication, however, fintech stands to reinforce digital forms of redlining and enable banks’ continued racialized exploitation of Black and Brown communities. Banking on a Revolution takes the perspective that the financial system needs a revolution—and not the impending revolution driven by technology. Studying various ways the financial system advantages whites by exploiting and marginalizing Black and Brown communities, Terri Friedline challenges the optimistic belief that fintech can expand access to banking and finance. Friedline applies the lens of financialized racial neoliberal capitalism to demonstrate the financial system’s inherent racism, and explores examples from student loan debt, corporate landlords, community benefits agreements, and banking and payday lending. She makes the case that the financial system needs a people-led revolution that centers the needs, experiences, and perspectives of those it has historically excluded, marginalized, and exploited.

This data-rich book demonstrates the value of existing national long-term ecological research in Australia for monitoring environmental change and biodiversity.
 Long-term ecological data are critical for informing trends in biodiversity and environmental change. The Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) is a major initiative of the Australian Government and one of its key areas of investment is to provide funding for a network of long-term ecological research plots around Australia (LTERN).
 LTERN researchers and other authors in this book have maintained monitoring sites, often for one or more decades, in an array of different ecosystems across the Australian continent – ranging from tropical rainforests, wet eucalypt forests and alpine regions through to rangelands and deserts. This book highlights some of the temporal changes in the environment that have occurred in the various systems in which dedicated field-based ecologists have worked. Many important trends and changes are documented and they often provide new insights that were previously poorly understood or unknown. These data are precisely the kinds of data so desperately needed to better quantify the temporal trajectories in the environment in Australia.
 By presenting trend patterns (and often also the associated data) the authors aim to catalyse governments and other organisations to better recognise the importance of long-term data collection and monitoring as a fundamental part of ecologically-effective and cost-effective management of the environment and biodiversity.

Terrorism is first and foremost viewed as a matter of security policy; however, its emergence, perception, effects, prevention and mitigation actually involve a multitude of societal sectors as well as academic fields, which also means that numerous academics, practitioners and decision-makers are in a position to contribute to analysing and countering terrorism. This handbook serves as the first German-language reference work on terrorism studies, capturing the complexity of this subject in its entirety. By using theories and perspectives from various academic disciplines, the handbook encourages scholars and students to apply their expertise to the field of terrorism studies and to emphasise interdisciplinary work.

This chapter details how the author began to watch over wild birds along the north Florida coast. The author was a volunteer steward, and her first assignment was on a bit of sand, a spoil island south of the Apalachicola bridge. There, the author was to keep track of nesting activity by least terns, black skimmers, certain small plovers, or American oystercatchers. The island had historically hosted a seasonal congregation of 700 nesting pairs of brown pelicans. But after a large quantity of spoil was dredged from the river channel and heaped onto the island one winter, the pelicans abandoned the site and had never returned. Another year, more than 200 least terns and a handful of gull-billed terns had nested on the fresh spoil. It was not clear whether pelicans would return, or the terns — or neither.

This chapter explores the music, life, and institutional building of drummer, feminist, and artistic director for the Berklee Institute for Jazz and Gender Justice, Terri Lyne Carrington. Through and examination of her cultural work, this chapter discusses Carrington’s attack on patriarchy in jazz culture through Black feminist thought reflected in her musical practices. Her work exposes the irony of the Black aesthetic values of inclusion at the foundation of African American improvised music in contrast with the patriarchal practice of marginalizing women improvisers. Carrington’s musical arrangement of Bernice Johnson Reagon’s composition “Echo” on The Mosaic Project (2011) is analyzed as linked critique of anti-blackness over and several compositions on Terri Lyne Carrington and Social Science (2019) are analyzed as an intersectional critique of police brutality, gay conversion therapy, celebration of Black feminism, and gender inequity represented respectively in “Bells (Ring Loudly),” “Pray the Gay Away,” “Anthem,” and “Purple Mountains.”

Full textAbstract:
Arsenic concentrations in groundwater extracted from quaternary alluvial sediments pose a serious health issue for inhabitants living in several countries in Southeast Asia. A widely approved hypothesis states that reductive dissolution of Fe-bearing minerals releases As oxyanions to ground water and the original source of As has to be located in mafic rocks occurring across the entire Himalayan belt. Yet, recent trace element analyses of ground water from the lowlands (Terai) of Nepal show a clear decoupling of As and Fe. The positive correlation of K, Na, and trace elements like Li, B, and Mo with arsenic points out to clay minerals hosting the toxic element. This pattern of trace elements found in the ground water of the Terai also advocates against an original source of As in mafic rocks. The lithophile elements like Li, B, P, Br, Sr, and U reflect trace element composition typical for felsic rocks as an origin of As. All the mentioned elements are components of clay minerals found ubiquitously in some of the most characteristic felsic rocks of the Nepal Himalaya: metapelites and leucogranites—all these rocks exhibiting a high abundance of especially B, P, and As besides Cd and Pb.

Abstract The chapter describes how two islands visited by the POSBP, Tern Island in the Northwest Hawaiian chain, and Johnston Island, in the mid-Pacific, were converted to suit the needs of the military. Johnston is one of the most isolated islands in the world, and for that reason it became the staging point for many secret US Army experiments, including biological warfare tests. It was also used as a launch site for atmospheric nuclear bomb blasts. Tern Island was converted from an irregularly-shaped tropical isle into an air base that looks much like an aircraft carrier steaming through the waves. Made of dredged-up coral, it became known as “the Coral Carrier.” The chapter also describes how after a series of observations made by POBSP field teams, the scientists made important discoveries about bird migration patterns in the Central Pacific. Finally, the chapter asks the question of why, given the known presence of birds transiting through the fixed Johnston Grid area (a result established by a special POBSP subprogram called STAR BRITE), the army nevertheless chose to conduct bioweapons trials there, despite the potential hazards they might present to populations of the Western Pacific.

This chapter is the first of two in-depth explorations into the history and cultural background of a single women’s traditions in which the performance context can be understood to shield women from the criticism their actions might otherwise attract. This chapter examines the poetic performances of Berber girls in Riffian communities in rural Morocco detailing the ways in which their performances offer individual girls the opportunity to speak their minds on issues and concerns that matter deeply to them and about which they cannot speak in any other context. In the process, the polemics of musical performance in Islamic contexts and feminist interpretations of some Islamic constructions of gender are explored. The ethnographic material for this chapter is drawn from the fieldwork of Terri Joseph Brint, Katherine Hoffman, and Jane Goodman.

The first industrial IPCC plant fed by biomass using a slow pyrolysis process to produce gas and wood coal is operating in Terni- Italy from the beginning of 2004. The plant provides about 4 MWe, when it is fed by 4 t/h of natural biomass (i.e. all natural materials used as energy sources) with a maximum humidity content of 20%. The article refers to the problems faced to reach a stable operation of the pyrolyser and to obtain a gas able to burn in a commercial gas turbine, without any modification of the combustion chamber, In addition, the characterization of tar components are discussed and economical possibilities to recover tar compounds are compared. The process is able to produce energy from biomass and from different kinds of residues, at really high efficiency compared with other conventional technologies: an economical analysis is made.

Full textAbstract:
The evolution of the engineered barrier system (EBS) of geological repositories for radioactive waste has been the subject of many research programmes during the last decade. The emphasis of the research activities was on the elaboration of a detailed understanding of the complex thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical processes, which are expected to evolve in the early post closure period in the near field. It is important to understand the coupled THM-C processes and their evolution occurring in the EBS during the early post-closure phase so it can be confirmed that the safety functions will be fulfilled. Especially, it needs to be ensured that interactions during the resaturation phase (heat pulse, gas generation, non-uniform water uptake from the host rock) do not affect the performance of the EBS in terms of its safety-relevant parameters (e.g. swelling pressure, hydraulic conductivity, diffusivity). The 7th Framework PEBS project (Long Term Performance of Engineered Barrier Systems) aims at providing in depth process understanding for constraining the conceptual and parametric uncertainties in the context of long-term safety assessment. As part of the PEBS project a series of laboratory and URL experiments are envisaged to describe the EBS behaviour after repository closure when resaturation is taking place. In this paper the very early post-closure period is targeted when the EBS is subjected to high temperatures and unsaturated conditions with a low but increasing moisture content. So far the detailed thermo-hydraulic behaviour of a bentonite EBS in a clay host rock has not been evaluated at a large scale in response to temperatures of up to 140°C at the canister surface, produced by HLW (and spent fuel), as anticipated in some of the designs considered. Furthermore, earlier THM experiments have shown that upscaling of thermal conductivity and its dependency on water content and/or humidity from the laboratory scale to a field scale needs further attention. This early post-closure thermal behaviour will be elucidated by the HE-E experiment, a 1:2 scale heating experiment setup at the Mont Terri rock laboratory, that started in June 2011. It will characterise in detail the thermal conductivity at a large scale in both pure bentonite as well as a bentonite-sand mixture, and in the Opalinus Clay host rock. The HE-E experiment is especially designed as a model validation experiment at the large scale and a modelling programme was launched in parallel to the different experimental steps. Scoping calculations were run to help the experimental design and prediction exercises taking the final design into account are foreseen. Calibration and prediction/validation will follow making use of the obtained THM dataset. This benchmarking of THM process models and codes should enhance confidence in the predictive capability of the recently developed numerical tools. It is the ultimate aim to be able to extrapolate the key parameters that might influence the fulfilment of the safety functions defined for the long term steady state.

Full textAbstract:
Data classification is a major machine learning paradigm, which has been widely applied to solve a large number of real-world problems. Traditional data classification techniques consider only physical features (e.g., distance, similarity, or distribution) of the input data. For this reason, those are called low-level classification. On the other hand, the human (animal) brain performs both low and high orders of learning, and it has a facility in identifying pat-terns according to the semantic meaning of the input data. Data classification that considers not only physical attributes but also the pattern formation is referred to as high-level classification. Several high-level classification techniques have been developed, which make use of complex networks to characterize data patterns and have obtained promising results. In this paper, we propose a pure network-based high-level classification technique that uses the betweenness centrality measure. We test this model in nine different real datasets and compare it with other nine traditional and well-known classification models. The results show us a competent classification performance.

Full textAbstract:
Asphalt Rubber Concrete (ARC) pavement has shown an excellent performance of noise reduction in terns of reducing the power of air pumping, absorbing sound power, depressing carcass vibration and changing sound reflection geometry. This research is to investigate the traffic noise reduction performance of a segment of test highway with ARC pavement in Saskatchewan, Canada. Before and after the highway section was repaved, a series of traffic noise level measurements combining with traffic flow monitoring are conducted in order to compare the sound performance of ARC and conventional pavements. A relationship between the noise level and corresponding traffic flow conditions of ARC pavement is established. The energetic averaging method is employed to study the relationship between traffic noise level and traffic flow condition. The two noise levels of 24-hour's time averaged and Statistical Pass-By noise levels indicated that the ARC pavement has a better sound performance over that of conventional pavement in terms of traffic noise reduction. The traffic noise reduction applicability of ARC pavement under various traffic flow conditions is also performed in this research.

Full textAbstract:
The retroreflective properties of a corner cube can substantially reduce the need for alignment accuracy in optical chip-to-chip interconnections. We specially designed corner cubes with dihedral angles slightly different from right angles, so that the reflected beams are split into two-, four-, five-, or six-spot image patterns for a point source, depending on the dihedral angles. Arbitrary spot pat terns may be obtained with a corner-cube design by mean sofa ray-tracing and iteration procedure. We have shown that under the paraxial condition, these corner cubes are not sensitive to variations of the incident angles. When the source is laterally shifted by some misalignment, the spot pattern will follow the source and will suffer a second-order infinitesimal deformation. Corner-cube reflectors can be made in the form of micro-tetrahedral prisms with dimensions of several microns that will allow a high fanout number. We propose a geometric arrangement for positioning the sources and detectors on the chip and have demonstrated a 4-cube network in a space-invariant interconnection system using two corner cubes, each having a six-spot image pattern.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract BCC-Fe is the critical and major component of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel. With long-tern neutron irradiation, many point defects can be obtained in RPV steel. In this paper, the points defects (interstitial, vacancy and Frenkel pair) effects on the tensile strength of Fe are studied by molecular dynamics simulations at 300K. The uni-axial tensile load is along [001] direction of the Fe samples loading in constant strain rate. The Fe atoms are added or removed randomly to generate point defects. For point defects, three types of point defects can decrease the tensile strength containing yield stress and strain of Fe samples. In addition, the tensile strength decreases with the increase of point defect concentration. With the same defect concentration, interstitials decrease the yield stress the most seriously compared with the vacancies and Frenkel pairs. Apart from that, the morphology and evolution of the microstructure of Fe with point defects are also investigated under tension. Compared with the perfect crystal, the generation of dislocation decreases the tensile strength dramatically. For sample with interstitials, interstitial clusters form and evolve in dislocations loops finally. For sample with vacancis, vacancy may aggregate together and vacancy clusters form as a result, which is seen as precursors of dislocation loop. Notably, the results are meaningful to understand the effects of point defects on tensile strength of BCC-Fe.

Full textAbstract:
Many spent fuels coming out of the nuclear power station are planned to be stored in the special site in Japan until they are reprocessed. In this site, the spent fuels are installed in a cylindrical container called canister. The canister, in tern, will be installed in the outer cylinder called cask that is a free-standing structure. When this system is subjected to strong seismic excitations, sliding or rocking motion will be induced. And, in the worst case, the cask may collide to each other or overturn. Therefore, it is very important to reduce sliding and rocking motions of the cask in order to avoid the consequent contamination of radio active substances. The authors have already reported the studies on the sliding and rocking motions of the cask subjected to a seismic excitation that contains a vibration system in it, and clarified the effects of the vibration of the inner canister. It was shown that the inner canister gives very large influences on the sliding and rocking motions of the outer cask. In this study, we applied a gyroscope at the top of the outer cask for reducing rocking motion of the cask. The effects of the gyroscope are studied for various excitation frequencies, excitation amplitudes and the structural dimensions of the gyroscope such as weight and rotational frequency. It is found that the gyroscope is very effective for reducing rocking motions of the cask-canister system subjected to seismic excitations.

Full textAbstract:
Mechanical damage involving dents with gouges is one of the leading causes of transmission pipeline failures in terms of both static and cyclic pressure loading. Because of the severity of this defect type, pipeline companies are required to respond to these anomalies by either removing damaged sections or repair using welded sleeves. For more than 10 years, composite materials have been used to repair corroded pipelines and their use has gained wide acceptance across the pipeline industry. Numerous systems have been tested with results being presented in the open literature. Testing was recently performed to assess the use of a water-activated composite repair system, Aquawrap®, in terms of its ability to repair mechanical damage subjected to cyclic pressure service. The Aquawrap® repair system has been extensively tested on corrosion defects but testing on pipes with dents had not been done. The water activated pre-preg urethane resin system offers excellent long tern (creep-rupture) strength combined with easy low cost field installation. Pipes having diameter to wall thickness ratios ranging from 34 to 68 were fitted with dents and gouges. Repair involved removing the gouged material of the pipe after indentation and repairing using the composite sleeve. The result of this specific test program showed that on-average the fatigue life for mechanically-damaged pipes can be increased on the order of three orders of magnitude when repaired by grinding and installing composite sleeves. This paper provides details on the methodology of the test program, results, and most importantly, information that can be used by operators in repairing their pipeline systems.

Full textAbstract:
Identification of lysyl residue(s) in human plasma antithrombin required for binding of heparin was approached using chemical modification with the amino-group reagent, pyridoxal-5'-phosphate. Modification of antithrombin (AT) with limiting amounts of reagent yields an average incorporation of the phos-phopyridoxyl label into one lysine per protein molecule. Fractionation of the labeled AT by affinity chromatography on heparin-Sepharose separated a phosphopyridoxylated AT species devoid of heparin binding (Pool I) from modified protein which retained affinity for heparin (Pool II). Pool I contained an average of 1.6 mol phosphopyridoxyl label per mol AT, whereas Pool II was labeled to a lesser extent, with a ratio of 1.0 mol phosphopyridoxyl per mol protein. To generate peptide maps of the two AT species, the proteins were reductively denatured, S-carboxymethylated, and digested with trypsin. Fractionation of the tryptic digests by reverse-phase HPLC indicated one peak in the chromatogram of the non-heparin-binding species to be clearly different when compared to the chromatogram of the heparin-binding species. Upon sequencing of the unique peptide by automated Edman degradation, the modified residue was identified as Lys-125 in the primary sequence of AT. Additionally, AT was reacted with pyridoxal-5 ′-phosphate in the presence of added heparin for comparison with protein modified in the absence of heparin. Overall incorporation of the phosphopyridoxyl label was 3-4 mol reagent per mol protein, without inclusion of heparin during the modification reaction, and only 2-3 mol pyridoxyl per mol protein with heparin added. Tryptic peptide maps of these two modified ATs indicated that eight lysine residues are "protected" from modification by addition of heparin. The "protected" lysines identified, in addition to the essential Lys-125, are residues 11, 39, 133, 136, 257, 275, and 287. Identification of Lys-125 as the critical lysine for heparin binding strongly supports previous data which indicates that the heparin-binding domain of AT is located at the N-termi-nus within one of the disulfide cross-linked loops of the protein.

Full textAbstract:
In the Terai region of South-Eastern Nepal, there persists a form of agricultural bonded labour called Harwa-Charwa, rooted in agricultural feudal social relations. The Terai has a long and dynamic political history with limited employment opportunities and high levels of migration. This paper is an external qualitative analysis of over 150 life stories from individuals living in an area with high levels of bonded labour. These stories were previously analysed during a workshop through a collective participatory analysis. Both the participatory analysis and external analysis found similar mechanisms that trap people in poverty and bonded labour. The disaggregation by age in the external analysis could explain why child marriage and child labour were very important in the collective analysis but did not match the results of a baseline survey in the same geographical area that found only a few cases. The respondents were aged between 15 and 65. Child marriage and child labour had shaped the lives of the adults but have since decreased. Methodologically, the different ways of analysis diverge in their ability to differentiate timelines. The participatory analysis gives historical insights on pathways into child labour, but although some of the social norms persist this situation has changed.

Full textAbstract:
Since its inception, Systems Engineering (SE) has developed as a distinctive discipline, and there has been significant progress in this field in the past two decades. Compared to other engineering disciplines, SE is not affirmed by a set of underlying fundamental propositions, instead it has emerged as a set of best practices to deal with intricacies stemming from the stochastic nature of engineering complex systems and addressing their problems. Since the existing methodologies and paradigms (dominant pat- terns of thought and concepts) of SE are very diverse and somewhat fragmented. This appears to create some confusion regarding the design, deployment, operation, and application of SE. The purpose of this paper is 1) to delineate the development of SE from 1926-2017 based on insights derived from a histogram analysis, 2) to discuss the different paradigms and school of thoughts related to SE, 3) to derive a set of fundamental attributes of SE using advanced coding techniques and analysis, and 4) to present a newly developed instrument that could assess the performance of systems engineers. More than Two hundred and fifty different sources have been reviewed in this research in order to demonstrate the development trajectory of the SE discipline based on the frequency of publication.
