Weak gravitational lensing with the Square Kilometre Array [PDF]
We investigate the capabilities of various stages of the SKA to perform world-leading weak gravitational lensing surveys. We outline a way forward to develop the tools needed for pursuing weak lensing in the radio band.

Developing and Testing a Citywide Inclusive Sanitation Financial Tool
ABSTRACT Citywide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS) represents a paradigm shift in the provision of safely managed sanitation services with a framework of three outcomes—equity, safety and sustainability. There are several sanitation financial tools, but none of these fully address all CWIS outcomes. Citywide Inclusive Sanitation Financial Tool (CWIS‐FiT) is

Statistical methods in weak gravitational lensing
This thesis studies several topics in the area of weak gravitational lensing and addresses some key statistical problems within this subject. A large part of the thesis concerns the measurement of galaxy shapes for weak gravitational lensing and the ...

Cosmic tomography with weak gravitational lensing
We explored the Universe using weak gravitational lensing, a phenomenon that occurs when light from distant galaxies is bent by the gravitational fields of closer cosmic objects, much like how a lens distorts light.

Weak Gravitational Lensing—The Need for Surveys [PDF]
Light rays from distant sources are deflected if they pass near an intervening matter inhomogeneity. This gravitational lens effect is responsible for the well-established lens systems like multiple-imaged QSOs, (radio) ‘Einstein’ rings, the giant luminous arcs in clusters of galaxies, and the flux variations of stars in the LMC and the Galactic bulge ...

The in situ agglomeration behavior of semisolid Al–silicate inclusions in Si‐killed steel is studied using high‐temperature confocal scanning laser microscopy. Particle motion and interparticle forces at the steel/argon interface are quantified and compared with a modified capillary interaction model.

THE URBANOLOGISTS COME TO TOWN: Professional Life and Work in the Urban Solutions Industry
Abstract This article charts the upsurge of an eclectic global community of professionals new to the field of urban policy and governance, animated by playful and celebratory attitudes towards cities and urbanization: the urbanologists. It contributes to debates in critical urban theory and critical ethnographies of technology to problematize ...

Abstract Why do some informal neighborhoods receive public investment while others are neglected or evicted? This article addresses the inconsistent governmental responses to informal settlements in Jakarta, Indonesia, during the democratic period. State actions range from violent evictions to tolerance and community‐led improvements.
