In the digital era, highlighting the heritage resources of a mountainous region involves describing and advertising them to promote their visibility and attractiveness. Previous studies mainly assess the natural resources of such regions through a multi-indicator descriptive evaluation. This study aims to develop an effective evaluation of such indicators along the main tourist route of the M’Goun UNESCO Global Geopark, located in the central High Atlas of Morocco. The implementation of an experiential method to assess the tourism characteristics of this region is a notable aspect of our study. It includes analyzing the criteria for choosing this destination by segmenting tourists’ consumption experiences. Statistical data analysis has identified five dimensions of destination choice and four visitor groups. Additionally, we created an interactive map and made it accessible online to promote the natural geoheritage of this region. This article proposes to discuss the findings of this research and their applicability in terms of tourism destination management and decision-making, which can assist local governments in allocating tourism resources and land use rationally.

Key to regional sustainable development are the development and interplay of population dynamics and social welfare, each playing a significant role. As a representative region with demographic characteristics such as negative population growth and large labor outflow, the development and interaction between population and social welfare in Nanchong deserve in-depth exploration. This article takes the development of population and social welfare in Nanchong as the research object, and constructs an evaluation indicator system of population and social welfare through research backtracking, and uses entropy method and coupling coordination model to measure the development level and interactive effect of population and social welfare in Nanchong from 2010 to 2021. The research results show that: Firstly, the comprehensive evaluation results of population in Nanchong shows a linear upward trend, which indicates the stable positive effect of population structure and distribution, the gradual improvement effect of population quality effectively compensate for the weakening effect of population quantity, thus achieving the positive development of population. Secondly, the comprehensive evaluation results of social welfare in Nanchong shows an exponential upward trend, which indicates the social welfare has maintained a rapid growth momentum in various dimensions and the long-term positive effects have completely absorbed the negative effects, thus achieving the positive development of social welfare. Thirdly, during the sample period, the population and social welfare in Nanchong consistently maintained a high level of interaction strength, with factors diffusing and integrating. On this basis, the diffusion theory is used as an empirical reference to construct three interactive mechanisms between the population and social welfare in Nanchong and the implications are inferred from the empirical results.

There is a need for indicators of transportation–land use system quality that are understandable to a wide range of stakeholders and that can provide immediate feedback on the quality of interactively designed scenarios. Location-based accessibility indicators are promising candidates, but indicator values can vary strongly depending on time of day and transfer wait times. Capturing this variation increases complexity, slowing calculations. This paper presents new methods for rapid yet rigorous computation of accessibility metrics, allowing immediate feedback during early-stage transit planning while being rigorous enough for final analyses. The approach is statistical, characterizing the uncertainty and variability in accessibility metrics related to differences in departure time and headway-based scenario specification. The analysis was carried out on a detailed multimodal network model including both public transportation and streets. Land use data were represented at high resolution. These methods were implemented as open-source software running on a commodity cloud infrastructure. Networks were constructed from standard open data sources, and scenarios were built in a map-based web interface. A case study is presented, describing how these methods were applied in a long-term transportation planning process for an urbanized, polycentric Randstad region in the Netherlands.

Abstract Many tire performances are associated with the tire design, among which maneuverability and tire durability become major ones to be considered. The former performance is determined by the tension-value distribution along the sidewall carcass, and the latter by the peak strain energy density in the belt edge region. These two mechanical quantities are closely related to the sidewall carcass contour, so that the above-mentioned two performances could be improved by sidewall contour optimization. Unfortunately, however, this kind of multi-objective optimization requires interactive methods, for which the designer's decision-making is involved, owing to the existence of multi-peaks. In this study, we basically apply the satisficing trade-off method (STOM), but we intend to systemize it more by introducing aspiration-level indicators that control the entire optimization process. Through numerical experiment, we confirm that the proposed refined STOM leads systematically and efficiently to a nearly optimum sidewall contour.

The conflict between economic development and environmental degradation has significantly impeded urban development. Currently, the Chinese government is actively promoting the comprehensive transformation of new-type urbanization. This study measured the quality of urbanization and its degree of coupling coordination in 16 cities in Anhui Province from 2010 to 2020, utilizing 32 indicators across six dimensions: economic development (ED), infrastructure (INF), population development (PD), social development (SD), environmental protection (EP) and urban–rural integration (URI). Additionally, a novel method of sequential relationship analysis, oriented towards “interaction–change” was introduced to calculate indicator weights, which take the interactive degree among various indices and dependencies between neighboring cities into account. The results indicate that urban development in Anhui Province is imbalanced due to a low degree of resource matching. However, there is a positive trend in the relationship between urbanization quality and economic development. Furthermore, although the coupling coordination degree of urbanization quality in most cities fluctuates at different scales, it is still necessary to narrow and optimize the gap between subsystems. For one thing, the above achievements may provide reference for breaking through the traditional static weighting method from the theoretical level. For another, it can also provide decision-makers with valuable insights to establish an intercity complementary management system, so as to achieve sustainable development across the entire region.

Regional Income and Expenditure Budget (APBD) is a very important thing in the progress of a region. APBD is an indicator of public welfare level in a region. Data of APBD that is shared on the official website data.go.id is still hard to read and understood, and for that reason the author will compare the budget value of APBD in every province, district, and city by using visualization. The method the author used is Visual Data Mining by creating an APBD visualization dashboard according to provinces, districts, and cities. Tableau Software is used to create the dashboard because Tableau allows an interactive, easy-to-use dashboard for analyzing lots of data. Besides, Tableau is already supported by many platform such as web based, iPhone app, also Android app, and this application is one of the common for visualization so there are a lot of sources to get more information and to develop visualization. The result of this research could help the government in reevaluating the APBD financial budget in every region in Indonesia. This research can help the people to know the APBD budget applied in every region.

In the context of economic structural transformation and upgrading in the Yellow River Basin, this study explored the interaction between sports tourism and ecological civilization in the region. By constructing an indicator system for sports tourism and ecological civilization and applying the entropy weight method, coupling coordination model, and using the obstacle degree model, sports tourism development and ecological civilization construction in each province of the Yellow River Basin were quantitatively analyzed. The results revealed upward trends in both sports tourism and ecological civilization construction in the Yellow River Basin. According to the coupling coordination model, the most significant growth in coupling coordination degree has been observed in Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi, and Henan provinces, whereas Qinghai and Inner Mongolia have seen the least change in their coordination level. Government spending on sporting events and per capita water resources was identified as the main factors influencing the development of sports tourism and ecological civilization in the Yellow River Basin. Based on these findings, policy recommendations are proposed to promote the coordinated development of sports tourism and ecological civilization in the Yellow River Basin.

L’utilisation d’outils computationnels en sciences des matériaux constitue un domaine établi, la théorie de la fonctionnelle de la densité (DFT) s’étant imposée depuis près de cinquante ans comme un fondement de la physique de l’état solide. L’évolution des technologies numériques a permis un accroissement notable de la précision et de la fiabilité des méthodes de simulation, au prix cependant d’un coût computationnel et énergétique croissant. Dans ce contexte, l’emploi de descripteurs de réactivité s’avère particulièrement pertinent : ces outils, à la fois simples sur les plans théorique et numérique, offrent des résultats robustes et en excellent accord avec les données expérimentales ainsi qu’avec des méthodes de calcul plus onéreuses.Le travail présenté propose d’élargir l’usage classique des descripteurs de réactivité, traditionnellement limités à l’identification de sites réactifs, vers de nouvelles applications. Dans un premier temps, les indices de Fukui atomiques condensés ont été mobilisés pour caractériser les sites donneurs et accepteurs d’électrons au sein de molécules candidates à des applications en cellules photovoltaïques organiques. Cette approche permet ainsi de prédire l’efficacité potentielle de matériaux pour le transfert de charges photoinduit. Dans un second temps, le concept de souplesse locale, dérivé de la souplesse globale, est employé pour identifier, au sein d’une même molécule, les atomes susceptibles d’interagir. Cette stratégie vise à proposer des chemins réactionnels internes, en particulier pour élucider la conversion du 1-azafulvénallène en phénylnitrène, une transformation d’intérêt en chimie organique.Les résultats obtenus démontrent que, malgré leur simplicité, les descripteurs de réactivité offrent une capacité prédictive étendue, non seulement en matière d’analyse de réactivité, mais également pour la description fine des transferts de charge et l'identification de voies de réaction moléculaires. Ces travaux ouvrent ainsi des perspectives nouvelles pour l’exploitation de méthodes computationnelles légères au service de problématiques complexes en chimie des matériauxThe use of computational tools in material science is not a novelty, for instance, Density Functional Theory has been a staple for solid-state physics for about fifty years. As time goes by, technology evolves, and so do the computational methods, their accuracy and reliability. Of course, the more complex and complete a method is, the more computationally expensive it becomes. An expensive method is one that requires a lot of CPU time to be finished, thus requiring more energy. However, there are some tools to be used that are not expensive and also produce reliable results. One of these tools are the reactivity descriptors, which are theoretically and computationally simple, but have been offering great reliable results, aligned with other methods and experimental data. This work set out to explore new grounds with the reactivity descriptors, using them for more than reactivity calculations. In the first chapter, the descriptor called Condensed-to-Atoms Fukui Indexes, that is generally used to describe reactive sites in a molecule, is used to as a mean to describe sites for electron retrieval and receival, as a tool to define what is a good or bad electron donor/acceptor material for Organic Solar Cells applications. Moreover, the second chapter applies the global softness to the previous descriptor to build what is called Local Softness, a descriptor used to classify how likely two molecules are prone to interact and with which atoms. However this descriptor is used here as a method to search atoms likely to interact with each other in the same molecule, altering its structure and becoming a new molecule. This is done to help find pathways for the 1-azafulvenallene to become phenylnitrene. The results point that indeed, although simple, the reactivity descriptors are capable of producing reliable and accurate results that go beyond just reactivity studies and can be used for charge transference description and to find chemical reaction pathways

Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Geospatial TechnologiesThe 12 municipalities comprising the Oeste region of Portugal is desirous of developing a smart region. There is a need for the development of a framework and tool for the monitoring and evaluation of the performance of the Oeste smart region. These would also serve as a baseline against which progress could be measured. The goal of this thesis is, therefore, to develop and implement of a framework for the monitoring and evaluation of the performance of the Oeste smart region. The study adopted a design research approach. It achieved its aim by reviewing literature and frameworks on smart regions and smart cities and noted four (4) dimensions and eighteen (18) indicators which were most important within the context of smart regions. These dimensions and indicators were then applied to the Oeste smart region context. Of the 18 indicators, fourteen (14) were available either directly or in form of proxy data, for the region. These 14 indicators in 4 dimensions were then used to construct an interactive dashboard. After the extract, transform and load (ETL), the storage, the dashboard construction, and data visualization were all performed in github to ensure reproducibility. From the data presented, it was noted that the smartest municipality in the region is Nazaré, while the least is Cadaval. The dashboard was also used as a tool for smart region goal setting. This was demonstrated by setting a goal of a 10% increase in performance. The implications of setting a 10% increase in smartness were then presented at the regional, and municipality levels. Also, the targets for the indicators and dimensions were presented. Overall, the dashboard was effective as a tool for monitoring and evaluation of the smart region.

Existe a necessidade do desenvolvimento de um framework e ferramenta para o monitoramento e avaliação do desempenho da região inteligente do Oeste. Estes também serviriam como uma linha de base contra a qual o progresso poderia ser medido. O objetivo desta tese é, portanto, desenvolver e implementar um framework para a monitorização e avaliação do desempenho da região inteligente do Oeste. O estudo adotou uma abordagem de pesquisa de design. Ele alcançou seu objetivo revisando a literatura e estruturas sobre regiões inteligentes e cidades inteligentes e observou quatro (4) dimensões e dezoito (18) indicadores que eram mais importantes no contexto das regiões inteligentes. Estas dimensões e indicadores foram então aplicados ao contexto da região inteligente do Oeste. Dos 18 indicadores, quatorze (14) estavam disponíveis diretamente ou na forma de dados proxy para a região. Esses 14 indicadores em 4 dimensões foram então usados para construir um painel interativo. Após a extração, transformação e carregamento (ETL), o armazenamento, a construção do dashboard e a visualização dos dados foram todos realizados no github para garantir a reprodutibilidade. A partir dos dados apresentados, notou-se que o município mais inteligente da região é a Nazaré, enquanto o menos é o Cadaval. O painel também foi usado como ferramenta para definição de metas de regiões inteligentes. Isso foi demonstrado ao estabelecer uma meta de 10% de aumento no desempenho. As implicações de definir um aumento de 10% na inteligência foram então apresentadas nos níveis regional e municipal. Também foram apresentadas as metas para os indicadores e dimensões. No geral, o dashboard foi eficaz como ferramenta de monitoramento e avaliação da região inteligente.

The preprint presents the economic mechanism of investment programs and analyzes its components: specific indicators for evaluating the investment part of developmental programs are proposed; a specific pricing for products manufactured as a result of the implementation of investment projects; a system of financing developmental programs based on the optimal ratio of budget funds, reinvested profits and credit. The empirical base of the study is made up of materials from the petrochemical complex. In this regard, the world trends in the development of petrochemical chemistry and the situation in the petrochemical complex of Russia are considered. Recommendations are given regarding the development of the petrochemical industry of Russia. A multi-criteria optimization model that implements the presented economic mechanism and is intended to form variants of the structure of the governmental program for industrial and regional (territorial) development is developed. The results of a computer experiment are presented. Variants of a conditional program for the development of the Russian oil and gas chemical complex showing the positive impact of the proposed economic mechanism on the structure and indicators of the program are developed.

The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is the largest and highest plateau on Earth. Due to its elevation, it receives much more downward shortwave radiation than other areas, which results in very strong diurnal and seasonal changes of the surface energy components and other meteorological variables, such as surface temperature and the convective atmospheric boundary layer. With such unique land process conditions on a distinct geomorphic unit, the TP has been identified as having the strongest land/atmosphere interactions in the mid-latitudes.Three major TP land/atmosphere interaction issues are presented in this article: (1) Scientists have long been aware of the role of the TP in atmospheric circulation. The view that the TP’s thermal and dynamic forcing drives the Asian monsoon has been prevalent in the literature for decades. In addition to the TP’s topographic effect, diagnostic and modeling studies have shown that the TP provides a huge, elevated heat source to the middle troposphere, and that the sensible heat pump plays a major role in the regional climate and in the formation of the Asian monsoon. Recent modeling studies, however, suggest that the south and west slopes of the Himalayas produce a strong monsoon by insulating warm and moist tropical air from the cold and dry extratropics, so the TP heat source cannot be considered as a factor for driving the Indian monsoon. The climate models’ shortcomings have been speculated to cause the discrepancies/controversies in the modeling results in this aspect. (2) The TP snow cover and Asian monsoon relationship is considered as another hot topic in TP land/atmosphere interaction studies and was proposed as early as 1884. Using ground measurements and remote sensing data available since the 1970s, a number of studies have confirmed the empirical relationship between TP snow cover and the Asian monsoon, albeit sometimes with different signs. Sensitivity studies using numerical modeling have also demonstrated the effects of snow on the monsoon but were normally tested with specified extreme snow cover conditions. There are also controversies regarding the possible mechanisms through which snow affects the monsoon. Currently, snow is no longer a factor in the statistic prediction model for the Indian monsoon prediction in the Indian Meteorological Department. These controversial issues indicate the necessity of having measurements that are more comprehensive over the TP to better understand the nature of the TP land/atmosphere interactions and evaluate the model-produced results. (3) The TP is one of the major areas in China greatly affected by land degradation due to both natural processes and anthropogenic activities. Preliminary modeling studies have been conducted to assess its possible impact on climate and regional hydrology. Assessments using global and regional models with more realistic TP land degradation data are imperative.Due to high elevation and harsh climate conditions, measurements over the TP used to be sparse. Fortunately, since the 1990s, state-of-the-art observational long-term station networks in the TP and neighboring regions have been established. Four large field experiments since 1996, among many observational activities, are presented in this article. These experiments should greatly help further research on TP land/atmosphere interactions.

Behaviour involves reacting to stimuli and may be innate (colour change) or include input via cognition (learning, memory). Understanding the complex behaviour of some fish, as in interaction with conspecifics, potential prey or predators, may require consideration of neurobiology and endocrinology. Whereas fish may show behaviours associated with tetrapods (play, sleep), some of their behaviour follows a preset pattern, for example in feeding and reproduction. Communication between fish depends on cues such as colour, sound, electroception or pheromones. Long-term behaviour includes migration and territoriality, with schooling a group phenomenon. Within the brain a neuropil may indicate a region capable of memory, in fish it is abundant in the optic tectum with up to 15 laminae (layers), with some in the olfactory bulb; however, the laminated cerebral cortex of mammals is lacking. Current research includes the role of engrams in memory and the use of zebrafish as models.

The quickest policy indication for increasing households’ trust in financial markets, to the benefit of the economic system, seems to be the offer of professional financial advice on affordable terms. The problem is how to convince investors to pay for advice, and how to protect investors who do not want to pay for advice from conflicted advice and from hard sell under the guise of personal recommendation—an area where MiFID I has not performed well. MiFID II’s answer is to pose a new set of information duties on financial advisors with the clear intention of nudging investors towards independent, fee-only advice. The intention is good. However, the new regime raises many important issues, including the ambiguity of the ‘independent’ suit, the interaction between the product governance regime and the suitability assessment, the regulatory inconsistency that it is emerging between investment advice and portfolio management, and the potential costs of the written statement of suitability.

This chapter sums up the chapters in this book to show that the process by which Christianity and Buddhism became established in their respective regions was much more complex than the language of conquest or triumph would suggest. In neither China nor Rome did the new religions simply sweep away the beliefs and customs of the old society; rather, over centuries of interaction and dialogue, the old societies changed the new religions as much as the religions changed the old societies. The chapters contain a mixture of traditional themes, methodologies, and problematics. Topics include justice, morality, mortality, rhetoric, and the history of narratives of authority; religious, political, and social importance of suffering, danger, and risk; the importance of popular narratives; the role of magic; and the importance of images and material culture. But these case studies can do little more than indicate the rich rewards that await further research.

This chapter addresses the various methods for measuring cancer burden and the complexities resulting from practical applications of these measurements. It also provides an overview of global cancer patterns and trends. Epidemiological observations indicate that cancer development and progression is due to an interaction of environmental exposures with genetic factors. This underscores the importance of using complementary epidemiological measurements to obtain a cohesive and comprehensive panorama of cancer burden. Manifold measurements that capture the number of deaths, incidence/mortality rates, and time trends with respect to variations between countries, regions, and risk factors must be considered. Efforts to quantify the impact of cancer are limited primarily by the fact that only a small proportion of the global population is covered by cancer registries. Collectively, neoplasms are the second largest cause of death worldwide and deaths from site-specific cancers ascended the causes of death list in both low- and high-income countries.

AbstractPrevious studies have indicated that agricultural biomass ash is an important resource with great potential for the construction sector. To valorize agricultural waste (as a renewable energy source and as a supplementary cementitious material—SCM), the crucial steps in the integrated management system of the circular economy cycle are the establishment and maintenance of database on crop production, namely, on harvest residues amount and quantity and quality of available biomass ash. The purpose of the study was to establish a multi-level georeferenced interactive database (map) on the produced quantities of agricultural biomass ash and cement consumption in Vojvodina region (Republic of Serbia), based on the analysis of agricultural biomass ash stream through three sectors as potential actors of the supply chain: agriculture (biomass producers)—industry (biomass users)—construction industry (users of biomass ash). Conducted research indicates the annual potential of over 2.4 million tons of harvest residues from corn, wheat, soya and sunflower, available for energy purposes in Vojvodina region. The potentially available amount of ash that might be generated annually by harvest residues combustion is estimated at over 196 thousand tons. Identified available amount of biomass ash (4.2 thousand tons) indicates an extremely low utilization (~2%) of the biomass potential. On an annual basis, all current agricultural biomass ash production can be used for partial cement substitution up to 30% in six construction companies. However, the generated ash is mostly disposed of in municipal landfills, which represents the end of the waste stream.

AbstractIn this chapter, we discuss how crop production, land use, and carbon emissions in Brazil are influenced by the interaction of a global crop price shock with domestic transportation infrastructure investments. The grid-resolving feature of SIMPLE-G-Brazil provides a framework for simulating impacts from multiscale shocks and capturing the spatial heterogeneity and spillover effects of results within the country. First, we illustrate this research question with a simplified two-region economic framework, which provides qualitative implications of the interactive effects to be checked with SIMPLE-G-Brazil. Then, we introduce the model structure and data sources used in SIMPLE-G-Brazil and focus on the two new modules—a transportation cost module and a novel cropland supply module—that differentiate SIMPLE-G-Brazil from the basic SIMPLE-G framework. Simulation results indicate that farm-gate crop prices increase in response to an increase in global crop prices, boosting cropland and crop output. However, the rise in farm-gate crop prices hinges on the transportation cost from the farm to the port. Public investment in transport infrastructure reduces these costs, particularly for more remote locations. This reconfiguration of production has important implications for the environment.

Soil sealing, a phenomenon altering soil permeability, significantly impacts the environment, particularly in urban areas and local climates, affecting heat exchange and soil permeability. Monitoring soil sealing is crucial for the Mediterranean coastal regions, where it contributes to desertification alongside soil degradation, drought, and fires.Permanent soil sealing includes features like buildings and paved roads, while reversible sealing involves features like solar panels and early-stage construction sites. The Mediterranean Soil Sealing project, led by Planetek Italia with partners ISPRA and CLS, aims to provide high-resolution maps of soil sealing and reversible sealing from 2018 to 2022, with a spatial resolution of 10 m. The project emphasizes stakeholder involvement, with users ranging from municipalities to international organizations like the UN. Efforts have been made to engage diverse stakeholders from the project's outset, and stakeholders are actively involved in shaping project outcomes. Instead of simply delivering maps, the project will provide users with an interactive dashboard containing indicators and analytics for easy access to information.

The main topic of the article was the assessment of the organization of interaction between authorities and the population within the framework of the implementation of national projects in the regions. Such an assessment was carried out in the form of a social examination, which we consider as a promising method aimed at identifying social effects and problems in the practice of implementing government projects and regional development programs. The basis for the social examination was a sociological study carried out in 2023 as part of the state task “Remote social examination as a form of public communication in the implementation of national projects”. The methodological basis of the study was a system of indicators on the stated issues. The study used: a) an interactive expert survey (survey of integrated expert assessments), which is carried out on the platform of the domestic Internet online research service Ancetolog; b) the “electronic respondent” method, which is a modified content analysis method used to collect and analyze data on social networks. As part of the study, a diagnosis of the current situation in organizing social interaction was made, trends and prospects were identified for increasing the efficiency of communication between the authorities and the population within the framework of national projects in the regions of Russia, and an expert opinion was made on the compliance of the implementation of such projects with the interests and needs of regional residents. It is argued that the use of social expertise will allow authorities and management to develop and adjust strategic development plans taking into account the current socio-cultural situation in the region and will contribute to the establishment of constructive communication in the mode of dialogue and social participation.

The Middle East and North Africa region has become one of the most important regions globally due to its energy reserves and geopolitical position. International organizations and researchers have discussed the challenge of sustainable development in the MENA region for many years. In this chapter, by examining the causal relationships between the four components of sustainable development, it is tried to understand better the interaction between sustainable development components in the region. Therefore, by collecting 92 institutional, bio-environmental, economic, and social variables, development indicators were constructed using the principal component analysis method for 2000-2020. This relationship was then tested using a Granger causality model and a dynamic data panel model. The results of this study show well that the economic development achieved at the expense of environmental degradation in this region failed to improve the non-economic components of sustainable development and provided the basis for their decline.

Geographical Indication (GI) is a process of valuing traditional products from a specific region, and its main objective is to attribute value to the product, local farmers, and the agricultural region. When certain products are recognised as a specific geographic origin, an important marketing tool is developed, but also incentives for public policies. The significant participation of family farming in the production of differentiated quality food and innovations in agricultural production systems, as well as the convergence of different movements and policies focused on the value of origin, position GIs as one of the relevant strategies for local development. Rural-urban interactions in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro result in spatial diversity and rural innovation. Social actors involved in agricultural production have developed adaptation strategies related to the contemporary rural space, responding, to urbanization and regional changes through resilient pathways. In the context of rural-urban interaction in Rio de Janeiro, the Geographical Indication of citrus farming has been one of the main issues on the agendas of institutions involved with rural communities in Rio Metropolis. This article discusses the role of the social group in the Geographical Indication process and the multiple inter-institutional relationships of the GI Laranja da Região de Tanguá.

This chapter details the development of the regional air pollution information and simulation model (RAINS) in 1984, a project which has been retrospectively described as one of the highest achievements of IIASA, substantiating East-West collaboration beyond scientific diplomacy. RAINS consisted of three blocs: pollution generation, atmospheric processes, and environmental impact, with further submodels to investigate emissions, long-range transport, and acidification. The model was interactive: a policy maker could select a particular national pathway of energy use, a strategy of pollution control, and environmental impact indicators. On the basis of this information, the computer model simulated the interaction of these three systems, enabling the user to examine the consequences of different alternatives to control acidification.

A new heuristic algorithm for porosity segmentation for the colored petro-graphic images is proposed. The proposed algorithm automatically detects the porosities that represent the presence of oil, gas, or even water in the analyzed thin section rock segment based on the colour of the porosity area filled with dies in the analyzed sample. For the purpose of the oil exploration, the thin section fragments are died in order to emphasize the porosities that are analyzed under the microscope. The percentage of the porosity is directly proportional to the probability of the oil, gas, or even water presence in the area where the drilling is performed (i.e. the increased porosity indicates the higher probability of oil existence in the region). The proposed automatic algorithm shows better results than the existing K-means segmentation method.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties in social interaction, repetitive behaviors, and narrow interests. People with ASD often experience additional mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. While genetics have long been considered a significant factor in the development of ASD, recent research indicates that the interplay between genes and the environment is crucial in understanding its underlying causes. This chapter aims to discuss the relationship between prenatal stress and the characteristics of ASD in countries within the Asia-Pacific region. The findings indicate a connection between prenatal stress and the traits of ASD in China, South Korea, and Japan. Further investigation is required to fully comprehend the specific mechanisms involved in this relationship. Genetic consultation can provide insights into potential risk factors, genetic counseling, and guidance on personalized interventions.

The examination of the primary climatic indicators, air temperature and rainfall, at the Drobeta Turnu Severin meteorological station for the period 2011-2022, allowed for the identification of increasing or declining trends. The entire study was developed using three different time frames of analysis: monthly, seasonal, and annual. The results indicate the specificities for each climate parameter on each of the three-time scales. The yearly trends for mean temperature are primarily increasing, while the annual trends for rainfall are generally decreasing. Because of the fluctuation of meteorological elements, air pollution has varying characteristics based on the geographical and topographical qualities of the urban region. This study's findings help to understand the seasonality of the overall air quality and the interaction between meteorological conditions and air contaminants. The Air Quality Index (AQI) was used to assess air quality. The AQI revealed that the air quality in Drobeta Turnu Severin is normal.

Water resources are crucial in any region's overall natural resource complex. This research focuses on addressing these pollution issues through water treatment processes. The primary objective of this study was to examine the adsorption of phosphates using both natural and synthetic adsorbents, particularly aluminosilicates. Under static and dynamic conditions, the research assessed the sorption characteristics of natural zeolite, specifically clinoptilolite obtained from the Sokyrnytsia mineral deposits. Results indicated that the adsorption of phosphates is more effective in acidic environments. It was observed that clinoptilolite exhibits a higher adsorption capacity for unsubstituted phosphates, which diminishes when alkali metal ions replace orthophosphoric acid. Additionally, the study highlighted the significant influence of pH levels on the sorption properties of clinoptilolite, especially about P₂O₅. The kinetic coefficients of the adsorption process were determined using experimental data and theoretical frameworks. Furthermore, mathematical modelling was employed to describe the adsorption dynamics of the active components by granular sorbents, effectively capturing the transient nature of diffusive-kinetic processes in complex, multicomponent systems. This research deepens our understanding of phosphate adsorption mechanisms. It provides valuable insights into optimising water treatment strategies using natural adsorbents, which could play a critical role in mitigating the effects of water pollution in the region. Zeolites derived from fly ash produced by the Dobrotvir thermal power plant have been synthesised and modified to enhance their properties. This study focuses on the characteristics of these zeolites, with a particular emphasis on thermogravimetric analysis, to understand their stability and performance under varying conditions. The adsorption capabilities of the natural zeolite were tested against common pollutants found in wastewater from meat-processing plants, specifically targeting ammonium and phosphate contaminants. Experimental data allowed for determining equilibrium adsorption capacities and corresponding isotherms were constructed at a standard temperature of 20°C. The results indicate that zeolite adsorbs phosphates more effectively than ammonia nitrogen. Further analysis revealed that clinoptilolite's adsorption capacity is higher when interacting with single-component systems but decreases when it simultaneously adsorbs two different substances from the solution. This decrease suggests competitive adsorption dynamics when multiple contaminants are present. Given the finite availability of natural zeolite resources, this research highlights the importance of synthesising synthetic zeolites as a sustainable alternative.

The paper present a dynamic macro model of world dynamics. The world is divided into 19 geographic regions in the model. The internal development of the regions is described by regression equations for demographic and economic indicators (Population, Gross Domestic Product, Gross Capital Formation). The bilateral trade flows from region to region describes interregional interactions and represented the trade submodel. Four types and two types of functional dependence were considered, in total eight variants of the trading equation were studied. The quality of regression models is compared by the coefficient of determination. By calculations the model satisfactorily approximates the dynamics of monotonically changing indicators. The dynamics of non-monotonic trade flows is analyzed, three types of functional de-pendence on time are proposed for their approximation. The forecast of regional development and global dynamics up to 2040 is constructed.

Regional Competitiveness Index (RCI) has been measuring the significant factors of competitiveness over the past ten years for all the NUTS 2 level regions across the European Union (EU). RCI measures with more than 70 comparable indicators the ability of a region to offer an attractive and sustainable environment for firms and residents to live and work. RCI results are standardly illustrated with interactive maps and a range of interactive web tools, which is attractive as well as for the public. The scorecards make it easy to compare any region with the EU and regions with a similar level of GDP per head. Users can easily see where their region stands on aspects such as governance, infrastructure, including the digital networks, health, human capital and labour market and innovation. RCI results confirm a polycentric pattern with a strong performance of most capitals and regions with large cities, that benefit from agglomeration effects, better connectivity and high levels of human capital. Other regions in the same country in some cases, score much worse. The north-west and south-east divide across the EU is still clear and visible. The paper aims at comprehensive analysis of RCI approach is performed by the systematic review across the editions. Results show that comparing RCI over time is complicated because all editions incorporate slight modifications. The authors of RCI try to keep changes to a minimum so as not to affect its overall structure and to maintain a high degree of comparability across the editions. However, despite all its shortcomings, RCI proved to be a robust way to summarise many different indicators into one index.

Post-irradiation examination (PIE) has indicated an increase in the outer diameter of fuel pins being irradiated in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) for the MOX irradiation program. The diameter increase is the largest in the region between fuel pellets. The fuel pellet was modeled using PATRAN and the model was evaluated using ABAQUS, version 6.2. The results from the analysis indicate the non-uniform clad diameter is caused by interaction between the fuel pellet and the clad. The results also demonstrate that the interaction is not uniform over the pellet axial length, with the largest interaction occurring in the region of the pellet-pellet interface. Results were obtained for an axi-symmetric model and for a 1/8 pie shaped segment, using the coupled temperature-displacement solution technique.

When ordering cloud computing products, users need to select the instance location based on their local area, which can effectively reduce network delay and improve network access speed. At present, the cloud products have a wide geographical coverage, with more than 30 regional options. The style of region selector will affect the efficiency of user region selection. The purpose of this study is to compare the usability of the dropdown and the tabs. Firstly, the optimization process is determined based on the international standard process of user experience, and the problem of the current selector is analyzed through the analytic hierarchy process and Dropdown is determined as the comparison scheme. Then through the comparative analysis of page performance indicators, behavior indicators and business indicators, the data results show that the dropdown selector has better user experience and business value. The above findings can guide cloud computing platform designers to improve a region pooling selector design and provide users with a more user-friendly interactive experience. At the same time, the research process and method can be used for reference in interface design to improve work efficiency and effectiveness.

The smart city concept focuses on the improvement of efficiency of urban economy and creation of infrastructure through economy’s digitalisation. The paper aims to assess the impact of digital transformation on the productivity of regional ecosystems. Socio-economic relations in regional ecosystems in the implementation of the smart city concept are examined. It is hypothesised that in regions with a high level of IQ of large and largest cities, there is an increase in ecosystem productivity due to formation of the core of the ecosystem, resources and infrastructure, and network interaction factors. Statistical indicators of the Unified Interdepartmental Statistical Information System, HSE collections, Internet sites for 85 regions of Russia are analysed. The study applied methods of indicator evaluation, ranking, grouping, correlation-regression modelling in SPSS-statistics. The findings demonstrate the impact of infrastructure, centre-relational, financial factors on the productivity of ecosystems in the largest smart cities. In large cities, financial and infrastructural factors are significant. The introduction of digital technologies in the urban economy contributes to the growth of the business sector and increased prosperity. The obtained results and proposed methodology can be used to assess the effectiveness of the Digital Economy programme, as well as to create strategies for the development of regional economy.

Visual analytics is a multidisciplinary field that involves using visual interfaces to facilitate analytical reasoning. Interactive visualization, a specific approach within visual analytics, refers to computational tools that store, process, and visually represent data, enabling users to explore the data interactively. This interactive nature of visualization enhances the potential for utilizing collected healthcare data and involves users in activities such as sense-making, knowledge discovery, and hypothesis generation, making them an active part of the process. Since 2020, interactive visualization has become the standard for producers of health statistics, ensuring that the audience feels engaged and involved through numerous dashboards and interactive tools. The Institute for Public Health of Serbia has created an interactive dashboard using the user-friendly Microsoft Power BI cloud-based tool. The dashboard aims to offer comprehensive and readily accessible information to both professionals and the general public, ensuring a comfortable and easy user experience. As part of the Microsoft Office suite, Power BI follows principles similar to those of other programs in the package. It requires minimal DAX language coding in application development, making it particularly accessible and easy for public health workers. The Health for All family of databases, created by the World Health Organization, has been used since 2000 and includes the following indicator groups: demography and other socio-economic indicators, mortality, morbidity, lifestyles, environment, health resources, use of health services, and maternal and child health. The data is available for regional, national, and European Union levels as a reference. The information is presented through summary tables, time trends, maps, and a data dictionary. The application is bilingual in Serbian and English, making it accessible to a broad audience. The cloud-based tool allows access from computers, laptops, and smartphones. It provides interactive presentations and report creation through a Web browser without installing additional software.

Drug-resistant hypertensive patients may be treated by stimulating baroreceptors located in the arterial walls of the internal carotid artery, specifically in the sinus region of the carotid artery bifurcation. To assess the ability of a custom implant design to stimulate baroreceptors by triggering them to fire and thereby reduce hypertension, the design was deployed within a patient based carotid bifurcation and FSI simulations were conducted. Results demonstrate the effect of such an implant on the arterial wall region where the baroreceptors are located. Localized wall contact and pulsatile stretch due to the implant are depicted by elevated wall stresses in the corresponding regions. These FSI simulations indicate that such a device would trigger baroreceptor firing and thus may effectively reduce hypertension in patients who do not respond to medication.

Abstract Coatings are commonly used in industrial gas turbines to protect materials from oxidation when operating at high temperatures. However, coatings can be ignored when assessing the lives of critical components. This study explores the influence of coatings on the fatigue lives of CMSX-4 single-crystal superalloy material via experiments and analysis. Experimental results show that coatings significantly reduce the fatigue life of the superalloy base material. Scanning electron microscopy of the failed specimens indicates that cracks initiate in the coating and propagate into the superalloy base material, leading to premature fracture. Analysis results show that coating stresses are maximized at high temperatures and under compressive loading due to the dissimilar thermal expansion of the coating and the superalloy base material. Therefore, operation under these conditions leads to a higher likelihood of coating cracks. Analysis indicates notable stress concentrations occur in the base material in the region of coating cracks. The Langer fatigue model is modified to consider the influence of coating cracks on fatigue life. The modified Langer model shows a general improvement in accuracy when predicting the fatigue lives of coated CMSX-4 material. These findings indicate that the influence of coatings should be considered when lifing critical gas turbine industrial components.

In this paper, we address a specific tool—InnoMix—that is implemented to overcome the lack of university–industry interaction in a selected region facing structural change with its corresponding impact on the economy and society. InnoMix is facilitated and implemented by university-based transfer scouts who act as mediators and translators between the players of the regional innovation system. These transfer scouts are part of the Innovation Hub 13, in which the region’s partners and stakeholders, infrastructures and competencies are systematically networked with each other to set new impulses for knowledge and technology transfer. These new impulses are brought into the region through new transfer approaches ranging from people and tools to infrastructure. InnoMix can be considered to be a highly interactive tool to overcome the weak, direct interaction between researchers and potential corporate partners in the region to foster strong collaboration between academia and industry. InnoMix especially aims to strengthen interdisciplinary exchange to shed light on cross-disciplinary perspectives. For that reason, transfer scouts focusing on transfer activities related to the life sciences, digitalisation and lightweight construction are involved in the implementation of InnoMix. Based on 11 InnoMix running since 2019, we provide insights into the planning and preparation phase of InnoMix and the selection of relevant topics and requirements for matching participants. Furthermore, we clearly indicate which formats of InnoMix work best and in which way university–industry interactions could be curated after InnoMix is implemented.

Novel approaches are needed to support the creation of more open, inclusive, and self-sustaining R&I ecosystems in healthcare. This study analysed 3 European regions (Murcia ES), (Örebro SE), and (Republic of Cyprus CY), incorporating complementary approaches from Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) and Research and Innovation Smart Specialisation Strategy (RIS3). The exercise entailed the identification of healthcare and innovation stakeholders and the characterisation of the policy landscape in each territory. Moreover, the strengths of the regional knowledge base was analysed by measuring the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) indicator based on relatedness measurement, and by using micro-level fields analyses of scientific publications. This methodology allowed us to identify the fields and topics (strengths) that provide opportunities for innovation processes. Additional identification of social needs in the three territories showed profound differences regarding the alignment of the selected needs with respect to the regions’ capabilities. The results suggest that a timely direct interaction with territorial stakeholders can help in selecting the most promising innovation priorities that are based on local needs and knowledge. The process of interaction requires early engagement to support territorial ownership and is further reinforced by RRI policies in place.

The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to massive rates of unemployment and greater uncertainty in the job market. There is a growing need for data-driven tools and analyses to better inform the public on trends within the job market. In particular, obtaining a “snapshot” of available employment opportunities mid-pandemic promises insights to inform policy and support retraining programs. In this work, we combine data scraped from the Canadian Job Bank and Numbeo globally crowd-sourced repository to explore the relationship between job postings during a global pandemic and Key Performance Indicators (e.g. quality of life index, cost of living) for major cities across Canada. This analysis aims to help Canadians make informed career decisions, collect a “snapshot” of the Canadian employment opportunities amid a pandemic, and inform job seekers in identifying the correct fit between the desired lifestyle of a city and their career. We collected a new high-quality dataset of job postings from jobbank.gc.ca obtained with the use of ethical web scraping and performed exploratory data analysis on this dataset to identify job opportunity trends. When optimizing for average salary of job openings with quality of life, affordability, cost of living, and traffic indices, it was found that Edmonton, AB consistently scores higher than the mean, and is therefore an attractive place to move. Furthermore, we identified optimal provinces to relocate to with respect to individual skill levels. It was determined that Ajax, Marathon, and Chapleau, ON are each attractive cities for IT professionals, construction workers, and healthcare workers respectively when maximizing average salary. Finally, we publicly release our scraped dataset as a mid-pandemic snapshot of Canadian employment opportunities and present a public web application that provides an interactive visual interface that summarizes our findings for the general public and the broader research community.

*Chapter 9 of the forthcoming book "Economic Analysis of Land Use in Global Climate Change Policy," edited by Thomas W. Hertel, Steven Rose, and Richard S.J. Tol The goal of this Chapter is to study the complex interaction between agriculture, economic growth and the environment, given future uncertainties. We combine economic concepts and biophysical constraints in one consistent modeling framework to be able to quantify and analyze the long-term socio-economic and environmental consequences of different scenarios. Here, we present the innovative methodology of coupling an economic and a biophysical model to combine state of the art knowledge from economic and biophysical sources. First, a comprehensive representation of the agricultural and land markets is required in the economic model. Therefore we included a land demand structure to reflect the degree of substitutability of types of land-use types and we included a land supply curve to include the process of land conversion and land abandonment. Secondly, the adapted economic model (LEITAP) is linked to the biophysical-based integrated assessment model IMAGE allowing to feed back spatially and temporarily varying land productivity to the economic framework. Thirdly, the land supply curves in the economic model are parameterized by using the heterogeneous information of land productivity from IMAGE. This link between an economic and biophysical model benefits from the strengths of both models. The economic model captures features of the global food market, including relations between world regions, whereas the bio-physical model adds geographical explicit information on crop growth within each world region. An illustrative baseline analyses shows the environmental consequences of the default baseline and a sensitivity analyses is performed with regard to the land supply curve. Results indicate that economic and environmental consequences are very dependent on whether a country is land scarce or land abundant.

This open file reports geochemical data for stream and groundwater samples collected around the Casino porphyry Cu-Au-Mo deposit, one of the largest and highest-grade deposits of its kind in Canada. The calc-alkaline porphyry is hosted in a Late Cretaceous quartz monzonite and associated breccias in the unglaciated region of west central Yukon. Water chemistry around the deposit was investigated because: (i) the deposit has not yet been disturbed by mining; (ii) the deposit was known to have metal-rich waters in local streams; and (iii) the deposit has atypically preserved ore zones. Stream water samples were collected at 22 sites and groundwater samples were collected from eight sites. Surface and groundwaters around the Casino deposit are anomalous with respect to Cd (up to 5.4 µg/L), Co (up to 64 µg/L), Cu (up to 1657 µg/L), Mo (up to 25 µg/L), As (up to 17 µg/L), Re (up to 0.7 µg/L), and Zn (up to 354 µg/L) concentrations. The stable isotopes of O and H of the groundwaters are essentially identical to the surface waters and plot close to the local and global meteoric water lines, indicating that the waters represent modern recharge, consistent with the generally low salinities of all the waters (total dissolved solids range from 98 to 1320 mg/L). Sulfur and Sr isotopes are consistent with proximal waters interacting with the Casino rocks and mineralization; a sulfide-rich bedrock sample from the deposit has delta-34S = -1.2 permille and proximal groundwaters are only slightly heavier (-0.3 to 3.1 permille). These geochemical and isotopic results indicate that surface water geochemistry is a suitable medium for mineral exploration for porphyry-style mineralization in the Yukon, and similar unglaciated regions in Canada. The atypical geochemical signature (Mo, Se, Re, As, Cu) of these types of deposits are typically reflected in the water chemistry and S isotopes provide a more local vectoring tool.

The 4Ps grievance redress system (GRS) is designed to facilitate due process in resolving the concerns and complaints about the program of beneficiary households, program stakeholders, and the general public. As with other social programs globally, the 4Ps GRS serves as a social accountability measure in response to risks of error, fraud, corruption, and leakages due to the intensive requirements and complexity of its operations. This study investigates the 4Ps GRS by analyzing grievance case data from 2010 to 2022. Key patterns and challenges emerged, with a notable increase in grievance volume following procedural guideline upgrades and calamitous events, while cases declined due to malfunctioning Management Information Systems (MIS). Payment-related issues topped grievances in terms of volume, reflecting challenges in cash transfer distribution as expected since the payment of grants is a key feature of a conditional cash transfer. In-person modes dominated grievance filing, emphasizing the importance of direct interaction and capacity building of staff to manage grievances effectively. Grievance resolution rates were generally high, but a decline in 2021-2022 highlighted a need to review procedures. Regression analysis indicated factors influencing timely resolution, including mode of submission and regional disparities. Interviews from previous studies revealed limited beneficiary awareness, cases of delayed resolutions, and a need for better access to case updates. Recommendations include strengthening data management, improving staff capabilities, promoting beneficiary awareness, and implementing regular evaluation and monitoring. These findings underscore the necessity of targeted approaches for grievance resolution in the 4Ps program.

This report describes analysis of ground failure and lack thereof observed in the Mihama Ward portion of Chiba, Japan following the 2011 M9.0 Tohoku Earthquake. In conjunction with this work, we have also significantly expanded the laboratory component of the Next Generation Liquefaction (NGL) relational database. The district referred to as Mihama Ward is on ground composed of hydraulic fill sluiced in by pipes, thereby resulting in a gradient of soil coarseness, with coarser soils deposited near the pipes and fine-grained soils carried further away. Observations from local researchers at Chiba University following the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake indicate that ground failure was observed closer to the locations where the pipes deposited the soil, and not further away. This ground failure consisted of extensive sand boiling and ground cracking, which led to building settlement and pipe breaks. Our hypothesis at the outset of the project was that liquefaction susceptibility might explain the pattern of ground failure. Specifically, soils deposited near the pipes are susceptible due to their coarser texture, while soils further from the pipes may be non-susceptible due to the presence of clay minerals and higher plasticity. Were this hypothesis borne out by evidence, soil in the transition zone would have provided important insights about liquefaction susceptibility. Based on testing of soils in our laboratory, we find this hypothesis to be only partially correct. We have confirmed that there are regions with high clay contents and no ground failure and other regions with predominantly granular soils and extensive surface manifestation of liquefaction. Where the hypothesis breaks down is in the transition zone, where we found that the fine-grained soils are non-plastic, and therefore they are susceptible to liquefaction. Our interpretation is that these silt materials likely liquefied during the earthquake, but did not manifest liquefaction. Two factors may have contributed to this lack of manifestation: (1) level ground conditions and lack of large driving static shear stresses (structures in the region are light residential construction) and (2) the silt is less likely to erode to the surface and form silt boils than the sandier soils that produced surface manifestations. This case history points to the importance of separating triggering (defined as the development of significant excess pore pressure and loss of strength) from manifestation (defined as observations of ground failure, including cracking, sand boils, and lateral spreading). The Mihama Ward case history involved laboratory tests performed by Tokyo Soil Research Co. Ltd. and the UCLA geotechnical laboratory. Given the importance of this data to the understanding of this case history, we recognized a need to incorporate laboratory tests in the NGL database alongside field tests and liquefaction observations. We therefore developed an organizational structure for laboratory tests, including direct simple shear, triaxial compression, and consolidation, and implemented the schema in the NGL database. We then uploaded data from tests performed by Tokyo Soil and UCLA. Furthermore, numerous other researchers have also uploaded laboratory test data for other sites. This report describes the organizational structure of the laboratory component of the database, and a tool for interacting with laboratory data.

Use of Lqh2 mutants (produced at TAU) and rNav1.2a mutants (produced at the US side) for identifying receptor site-3: Based on the fact that binding of scorpion alpha-toxins is voltage-dependent, which suggests toxin binding at the mobile voltage-sensing region, we analyzed which of the toxin bioactive domains (Core-domain or NC-domain) interacts with the DIV Gating-module of rNav1.2a. This analysis was based on the assumption that the dissociation of toxin mutants upon depolarization would vary from that of the unmodified toxin should the substitutions affect a site of interaction with the channel Gating-module. Using a series of toxin mutants (mutations at both domains) and two channel mutants that were shown to reduce the sensitivity to scorpion alpha-toxins, and by comparison of depolarization-driven dissociation of Lqh2 derivatives off their binding site at rNav1.2a mutant channels we found that the toxin Core-domain interacts with the Gating-module of DIV. Details of the experiments and results appear in Guret al (2011). Mapping receptor site 3 at Nav1.2a by extensive channel mutagenesis (Seattle): Since previous studies with photoaffinity labeling and antibody mapping implicated domains I and IV in scorpion alpha-toxin binding, Nav1.2 channel mutants containing substitutions at these extracellular regions were expressed and tested for receptor function by whole-cell voltage clamp. Of a large number of channel mutants, T1560A, F1610A, and E1613A in domain IV had ~5.9-, ~10.7-, and ~3.9-fold lower affinities for the scorpion toxin Lqh2, respectively, and mutant E1613R had 73-fold lower affinity. Toxin dissociation was accelerated by depolarization for both wild-type and mutants, and the rates of dissociation were also increased by mutations T1560A, F1610A and E1613A. In contrast, association rates for these three mutant channels at negative membrane potentials were not significantly changed and were not voltage-dependent. These results indicated that Thr1560 in the S1-S2 loop, Phe1610 in the S3 segment, and Glu1613 in the S3-S4 loop in domain IV participate in toxin binding. T393A in the SS2-S6 loop in domain I also showed a ~3.4-fold lower affinity for Lqh2, indicating that this extracellular loop may form a secondary component of the toxin binding site. Analysis with the Rosetta-Membrane algorithm revealed a three-dimensional model of Lqh2 binding to the voltage sensor in a resting state. In this model, amino acid residues in an extracellular cleft formed by the S1-S2 and S3-S4 loops in domain IV that are important for toxin binding interact with amino acid residues on two faces of the wedge-shaped Lqh2 molecule that are important for toxin action. The conserved gating charges in the S4 transmembrane segment are in an inward position and likely form ion pairs with negatively charged amino acid residues in the S2 and S3 segments (Wang et al 2011; Gurevitz 2012; Gurevitzet al 2013).

Light capturing and energy conversion by PSI is one of the most fundamental processes in nature. In the heart of these adaptations stand PSI, PSII and their light harvesting antenna complexes. The main goal of this grant proposal was to obtain by X-ray crystallography information on the structure of plant photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem II (PSII) supercomplexes. We achieved several milestones along this line but as yet, like several strong laboratories around the world, we have no crystal structure of plant PSII. We have redesigned the purification and crystallization procedures and recently solved the crystal structure of the PSI supercomplex at 3.3 Å resolution. Even though this advance in resolution appears to be relatively small, we obtained a significantly improved model of the supercomplex. The work was published in J. Biol. Chem. (Amunts et al., 2010). The improved electron density map yielded identification and tracing of the PsaK subunit. The location of an additional 10 ß-carotenes, as well as 5 chlorophylls and several loop regions that were previously uninterruptable have been modeled. This represents the most complete plant PSI structure obtained thus far, revealing the locations of and interactions among 17 protein subunits and 193 non-covalently bound photochemical cofactors. We have continued extensive experimental efforts to improve the structure of plant PSI and to obtain PSII preparation amenable to crystallization. Most of our efforts were devoted to obtain well-defined subcomplexes of plant PSII preparations that are amenable to crystallization. We studied the apparent paradox of the high sensitivity of oxygen evolution of isolated thylakoids while BBY particles exhibit remarkable resilience to the same treatment. The integrity of the photosystem II (PSII) extrinsic protein complement as well as calcium effects arise from the Ca2+ atom associated with the site of photosynthetic water oxidation were investigated. This work provides deeper insights into the interaction of PsbO with PSII. Sight-directed mutagenesis indicated the location of critical sites involved in the stability of the water oxidation reaction. When combined with previous results, the data lead to a more detailed model for PsbO binding in eukaryotic PSII.

Historically, the State of California assessed the environmental impacts of proposed developments based on how it was projected to affect an area’s level of service (LOS). However, as LOS focused on traffic delays, many agencies simply widened roads, which was an ineffective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). With the passage of Senate Bill (SB)743 in 2013, LOS was replaced by Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) as a more appropriate metric by which to gauge the environmental impacts of proposed development. Additionally, SB 743 presented an opportunity for off-site VMT mitigation strategies through banking and exchanges– allowing multiple development projects to fund a variety of strategies to reduce VMT elsewhere in the city or region. While the shift from LOS to VMT has generally been lauded, concerns remain about how to apply SB 743 effectively and equitably. This study aimed to: 1) understand how local governments are addressing this shift toward VMT while ensuring equity, including its approaches to off-site VMT mitigation; and 2) evaluate the various built environment factors that impact VMT, which should be considered by local governments, using both qualitative and quantitative research designs. The study posited that both micro and macro level aspects of the built environment needed to be considered when evaluating the impacts of proposed development on VMT, not only to ensure higher accuracy VMT models, but also because of the potential equity implications of off-site mitigation measures. Using multiple linear regression, the study shows that macroscale built environment features such as land use, density, housing, and employment access have a statistically significant impact on reducing VMT (35%), along with transit access (15%), microscale features such as sidewalks, benches, and trees (13%), and income (6%). More notably, a four-way interaction was detected, indicating that VMT is dependent on the combination of macro and micro level built environment features, public transit access, and income. Additionally, qualitative interviews indicate that transportation practitioners deal with three types of challenges in the transition to VMT impact mitigation: the lack of reliable, standardized VMT measure and evaluation tools; the lack of a strong legal foundation for VMT as a component of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and the challenge of distributing off-site VMT mitigation equitably. Overall, findings support a nuanced, multi-factor understanding of the context in which new developments are being proposed, both in terms of modeling VMT, but also when considering whether offsite mitigation would be appropriate. The results of this study can help California ensure equitable VMT mitigation that better aligns with the state’s climate goals.
