Understanding Vulnerability to Natural Hazards of Displaced Persons in Cox’s Bazar

open access: yesLand
Refugee settlements are often positioned around natural borders, which often have a heightened danger of environmental hazards. Here, we aim to better understand why settlements are in environmentally vulnerable land and what social and physical factors ...

Rescue of a stone bridge with respect to current condition and standards

open access: yesActa Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022
A three span stone masonry bridge dating back to the middle of the 19th century, still in the roadway network, is assessed to prevent its demolition. Its industrial heritage value and ecological concerns were the principal reasons for the assessment. The

Frequency-tunable metamaterials using broadside-coupled split ring resonators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We present frequency tunable metamaterial designs at terahertz (THz) frequencies using broadside-coupled split ring resonator (BC-SRR) arrays. Frequency tuning, arising from changes in near field coupling, is obtained by in-plane horizontal or vertical ...

Displaced Supersymmetry [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2012
The apparent absence of light superpartners at the LHC strongly constrains the viability of the MSSM as a solution to the hierarchy problem. These constraints can be significantly alleviated by R-parity violation (RPV). Bilinear R-parity violation, with the single operator L H_u, does not require any special flavor structure and can be naturally ...

Stress-strain state of the lower traverse of the hydraulic press [PDF]

open access: yesЖурнал інженерних наук, 2018
In the present article the stress-strain state of the lower traverse of the central ejector of the hydraulic press for manufacturing large-sized plastic products has been investigated by using finite element analysis.

A fibre optic sensor for the measurement of surface roughness and displacement using artificial neural networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
This paper presents a fiber optic sensor system, artificial neural networks (fast back-propagation) are employed for the data processing. The use of the neural networks makes it possible for the sensor to be used both for surface roughness and ...

"This is our land": ethnic violence and internal displacement in north-east India [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
"This report focuses on the situation of people internally displaced by three situations of generalised violence, which between them caused the displacement of over 800,000 people within the region: violence and displacement in Assam and Meghalaya states

Experimental demonstration of a Displacement noise Free Interferometry scheme for gravitational wave detectors showing displacement noise reduction at low frequencies

open access: yes, 2010
This paper reports an experimental demonstration of partial displacement noise free laser interferometry in the gravitational wave detection band. The used detuned Fabry-Perot cavity allows the isolation of the mimicked gravitational wave signal from the

Demonstration of displacement-noise-free interferometry using bi-directional Mach–Zehnder interferometers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We have demonstrated displacement- and frequency-noise-free laser interferometry (DFI) by partially implementing a recently proposed optical configuration using bi-directional Mach–Zehnder interferometers (MZIs).
