Worldline approach to semi-classical conformal blocks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We extend recent results on semi-classical conformal blocks in 2d CFT and their relation to 3D gravity via the AdS/CFT correspondence. We consider four-point functions with two heavy and two light external operators, along with the exchange of a light ...

Inclusion of seasonal variation in river system microbial communities and phototroph activity increases environmental relevance of laboratory chemical persistence tests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Regulatory tests assess crop protection product environmental fate and toxicity before approval for commercial use. Although globally applied laboratory tests can assess biodegradation, they lack environmental complexity.

Human affinity for rivers

open access: yesRiver, 2022
Human civilization prospers along rivers worldwide. Here, we investigated human–river relations by revealing the linkage between water and habitability for human settlements, and socioeconomic and cultural development across China.

Scaling gridded river networks for macroscale hydrology: Development, analysis, and control of error [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
A simple and robust river network scaling algorithm (NSA) is presented to rescale fine‐resolution networks to any coarser resolution. The algorithm was tested over the Danube River basin and the European continent.

Diverse and Dynamic Interactions: A Model of Suicidal Men’s Help Seeking as It Relates to Health Services

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Men's Health, 2018
There is a striking gender difference in suicide rates worldwide, with men accounting for approximately 80% of all suicide deaths. In contradictory public discussions, suicidal men are presented sometimes as victims of “poor” health services and ...

Resilience to climate change‐caused flooding—Metro Vancouver case study

open access: yesRiver, 2022
Climate variability, together with other drivers of global change (like population growth, land‐use change, etc.), is affecting the management of floods.

Recent advances in the investigation of a slow‐moving landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir area, China

open access: yesRiver, 2022
Many slow‐moving landslides in the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) area exhibit episodic movement patterns in response to variations in the reservoir water level and seasonal rainfall. These landslides are typically characterized by pre‐existing shear zones

River sediments [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2012
River history is reflected in the nature of the sediments carried and deposited over time. Using examples drawn from around the world, this account illustrates how river sediments have been used to reconstruct past environmental changes at a variety of scales in time and space. Problems arising from a patchy alluvial record and from influences external

Fine‐scale damage assessment of urban flooding based on the 1D/2D coupled hydrodynamic model

open access: yesRiver, 2023
Due to the high population density and economic property in urban environments, urban flooding can result in substantial economic losses. However, accurate urban flood modeling and assessing the associated damages are challenging due to complex urban ...
