Large university with high COVID-19 incidence did not increase risk to non-student population

April 2021

Large US colleges and universities that re-opened campuses in the fall of 2020 and the spring of 2021 experienced high per capita rates of COVID-19. Returns to campus were controversial because they posed a risk to the surrounding communities. A large university in Pennsylvania that returned to in-person instruction in the fall of 2020 and spring of 2021 reported high incidence of COVID-19 among ... [Show full abstract] students. However, the co-located non-student resident population in the county experienced fewer COVID-19 cases per capita than reported in neighboring counties. Activity patterns from mobile devices indicate that the non-student resident population near the university restricted their movements during the pandemic more than residents of neighboring counties. Preventing cases in student and non-student populations requires different, specifically targeted strategies.

Perception of illusory movement

November 1979 · Nature

Intensive studies of visual illusion have rarely shown examples of polymorphic responses. We show here that, using figures consisting of stripes shaded from dark to light, arranged in repeating sectors, an illusion of movement can be induced in about 75% of observers when viewed peripherally. The responses of the viewers fall into four categories. This polymorphic response suggests a genetic ... [Show full abstract] origin.

Rapid Leaf Closure of Mimosa in Response to Light

October 1971 · Nature

VARIOUS higher plants make rapid movements in response to stimuli1-3, among them Mimosa which rapidly closes its leaves when touched. We wish to report a series of experiments demonstrating such fast closure in response to light alone. Usually, light causes opening of the leaves, although it is known that after a few hours in the dark, light (< 550 nm) will cause the petiole to fall rapidly4,5.

Reduced cost location update scheme: A reactive approach for mobile agents

January 2007

Location management is a necessity for locating mobile agents in a network of mobile agent hosts and it still represents an open research issue. The cost of location management strategies mainly depends on the cost of search and update. In the existing location management strategies, location update schemes fall in two categories: Time based and number of movements based location update schemes. ... [Show full abstract] In this paper, we propose a location management technique applicable for multi-region environment. Location update scheme of proposed technique do not update mobile agent's location at every migration. The technique is named as Broadcasting with Search by path chase (BSPC), which is based on SPC. We analyzed and compared the performance of both and found that BSPC costs less with respect to message complexity and number of update operations for low call to mobility ratio (CMR) and in case of high migration rate of mobile agents within birth region.

Changes in depletion due to fishing for whales and fish. Changes in modeled SSMU-specific risk of falling below the 75% depletion threshold (i.e. depletion risk) over the 21st century for whale (A, grey) and fish (B, blue) abundance owing to scenarios with and without fishing for the RCP 2.6 (large, light circles) and RCP 8.5 (small, dark circles) scenarios. Positive movement from light to dark ... [Show full abstract] circles along the x-axis denotes increased risk from RCP 2.6 to 8.5. Points along the 1:1 line imply similar risk with or without fishing, with positive movement from light to dark circles along the y-axis denoting increased risk from fishing. All points for whales and most for fish overlap at the origin, indicating no impact. (TIF)

Migratory movements in the river were most marked on nights when water levels were rising, the temperature lay between 12-14.5oC, rain was falling and extensive cloud cover or the dark phase of the moon was present.

A Review of the 1924 Kenogami Landslide

January 2011 · Canadian Geotechnical Journal

L. S. Brzezinski

A major landslide of the flow variety took place in the fall of 1924 in the Lake St. John region of the Province of Quebec, Canada. The slide involved 2.5 million cubic yards (2.0 × 106 m3) of clay and resulted in loss of life and considerable damage to property. A review of the circumstances preceding failure, the geotechnical properties of the clay and the mechanism of the slide movements is ... [Show full abstract] presented in the paper.

A Revamped Model of Dust Storm Dry Deposition

January 2018 · Journal of Earth Science & Climatic Change

In recent years in particular, the detrimental impacts of dust storms around the world has become a matter of much concern. In this phenomenon, the movement of fine particles may fall into two categories of dry and wet depositions. It is a common practice to model dust deposition by a network of various resistances as it facilitates to characterize the impact of each mechanism on the overall rate ... [Show full abstract] of dry deposition. In this study, fewer assumptions are considered in comparison to previous models. The proposed model covers a wider range of conditions and also includes the impact of thermophoresis. Moreover, the complicated calculations of atmospheric stability and wind friction velocity are replaced with a simpler algorithm by using the meteorological data such as wind speed. The reliability of the modified deposition model is confirmed when compared with the available field data from the literature with good agreement both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Contactless fall detection by means of CW bioradar

August 2016

Falls are one of the major risks for seniors living alone at home. This paper presents the results of studies carried out to confirm the possibility of using bioradar for the fall detection. 213 records of various basic movements were recorded by continuous wave radar: BioRASCAN-4 with probing frequencies in range 3.6 to 4.0 GHz. Obtained data was used for the development threshold classifier ... [Show full abstract] with the following parameters — length of event and variation of signal amplitude. The results of data analysis by suggested algorithm demonstrated a sufficient level of accuracy.

Larger Crises, Slower Recoveries: The Asymmetric Effects of Financial Frictions

July 2009

Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Research Department

It is well known that movements in lending rates are asymmetric; they rise quickly and sharply, but fall slowly and gradually. Not known is the fact that the asymmetry is stronger the less developed a country’s financial system is. This new fact is here documented and explained in a model with an endogenous flow of information about economic conditions. The stronger asymmetry in less developed ... [Show full abstract] countries stems from their greater financial system frictions, such as monitoring and bankruptcy costs, which first magnify jumps of lending rates and then delay their recoveries by restricting the generation of information after the crisis. A quantitative exploration of the model shows the data are consistent with this explanation.
