M., Hasan, Mehedi, Hossain, Md Mokbul, Indrawansa, Susantha, Jayamanne, Deepal, Jha, Sujeet, Kasturiratne, Anuradhani, Katulanda, Prasad, Khawaja, Khadija I., Kumarendran, Balachandran, Mrida, Malay K., Rajakaruna, Vindya, Chambers, John Campbell, Frost, Gary, Sassi, Franco, Miraldo, Marisa

“…Individual-level data (demographic, socio-economic, and health characteristics) were combined with exposure to healthy and unhealthy food environments measured with geolocations of food outlets (obtained through ground-truth surveys) within 300 m buffer zones around participants' homes. Multivariate regression models were used to assess association of exposure to healthy and unhealthy food environments on waist circumference, BMI, and probability of obesity for the total sample and stratified by sex and income. …”

Timber-framed building damage from tephra fall and lahar : 2015 Calbuco eruption, Chile by Hayes, Josh L., Calderón B., Rodrigo, Deligne, Natalia I., Jenkins, Susanna F., Leonard, Graham S., McSporran, Ame M., Williams, George Thomas, Wilson, Thomas M.

“…The 419 buildings for which we did not assign a damage state either had too little information or fell outside of tephra and/or lahar hazard zones. The minimum tephra thickness isopach band that caused complete collapse was 10 to 15 cm (dry deposit loading ~1 to 1.6 kN m−2, saturated deposit loading 1.6 to 2.4 kN m−2), but most commonly (55% of tephra exposed DS5 houses n = 11), this occurred at 15 to 30 cm (dry deposit loading ~1.5 to 3.3 kN m−2, saturated deposit loading 2.4 to 4.8 kN m−2). …”

Algorithms for detection and localization of events in a water distribution network by Zan, Thaw Tar Thein

“…To monitor the WDS, a wireless sensor network is deployed within water distribution network in the downtown supply zone in Singapore. This network is implemented as part of the WaterWiSe@SG project (Wireless Water Sentinel in Singapore), with the aim of developing a generic wireless sensor network to monitor WDS in a continuous manner. …”

Investigation of the recyclability of applications involving MgO cement by Lim, Chin Haow

“…Thus, the strength loss observed in recycled mix could be correlated with: (i) the size reduction of aggregate, (ii) the formation of weak Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) around aggregate, (iii) the reduction of free MgO cement content as some of the MgO cement has entrapped in ITZ and (iv) the change of MgO cement reactivity after calcination. …”

Lithological controls of the Mg isotope composition of the Lena River across seasons and its impact on the annual isotope flux to the Arctic Ocean by Mavromatis, V, Porcelli, D, Andersson, PS, Korets, MA, Pokrovsky, OS

“…<br> Towards identifying possible environmental controlling factors (climate, vegetation, rock lithology) and quantifying annual fluxes of dissolved Mg isotopic signatures in large Arctic rivers located in the continuous permafrost zone, here we measured hydrochemical and Mg isotope compositions of the Lena River main channel and its various tributaries over different seasons of the year. …”

Toward multivariate fragility functions for seismic damage and loss estimation of high-rise buildings by Kourehpaz, Pouria, Hutt, Carlos Molina, Lallemant, David

“…The proposed functions are used to evaluate the performance of a portfolio of modern high-rise reinforced concrete shear wall buildings at four sites across the Seattle, Washington metropolitan area under a potential magnitude-9 Cascadia subduction zone earthquake scenario. The results indicate that the proposed functions can be beneficial in enhancing damage state predictions and loss estimates at a regional scale.…”

Domain-agnostic document and question classification using natural language processing techniques by Supraja, S.

“…In contrast, applications for domain-agnostic document classification include classifying job descriptions into generic skillsets, scientific statements into section types, and sentences into argumentative zone functions. With questions possessing different characteristics, domain-agnostic question classification is applied in information query or dialogue interactions in which the class labels may comprise question types or reasoning capabilities. …”

Jurisdictional approaches to high conservation value area designation using regulatory instruments: an Indonesian pilot project by Padmanaba, Michael, Sloan, Sean, Watts, John D., Irawan, Silvia, Lee, Janice Ser Huay, Pasaribu, Katryn N., Wiratama, Cokorda Gde Wisnu, Watson, Ellen, Utami, Nadia Putri

“…Finally, some three-quarters of all HCV areas and higher-confidence HCV areas designated by the ECCA fell outside of the exclusive administrative authority of the district government, being confined to agricultural zones. In politically-decentralised Indonesia, jurisdictional HCV area management would therefore be narrowly confined to agricultural areas, or cooperation between district, provincial, and central governments would be essential to the protection of HCV areas generally across districts.…”

Performance enhancement and size reduction of near-eye display by Cheng, Qijia

“…In chapter 5, a light field NED with random pinhole design is demonstrated with unique viewing zone and optical simplicity. Further research is recommended in chapter 6 to combine the individual technique as a hybrid device, where multiple light field display module can be used for super-resolution, with the design flexibility of free-form optics. …”

Electronic structures of twisted two-dimensional materials studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy by Pei, D

“…Besides, we observed iconic topological surface states with chiral edge modes around the Γ point, forming long Fermi-arc winding across the Brillouin zone. Surprisingly, we found the anomalous polarization dependence of the observed arc states in PtGa, the origin of which could be rooted in the chiral crystal structure.…”

Selective laser melting of ceramic particles strengthened stainless steel by Zhai, Wengang

“…In contrast, selective laser melting (SLM), or it can be called laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), is potentially a simple method to fabricate dispersed particles strengthened composites, because its small melting zone (~100 μm in width and depth) and fast cooling rate (106 - 108 K/s) help to prevent the particles from segregation. …”
