Worldline approach to semi-classical conformal blocks [PDF]
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]
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.

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

Resilience to climate change‐caused flooding—Metro Vancouver case study
Climate variability, together with other drivers of global change (like population growth, land‐use change, etc.), is affecting the management of floods.

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 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
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 ...
