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

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 ...

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

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