If your building is in Hawaii, fluctuating energy prices likely hit you the hardest. The Aloha State ranks 51st in electricity and natural gas prices, according to WalletHub and the Energy Information Administration. For the month ending in April 2014, commercial facilities in Hawaii paid about 34.2 cents per kWh for electricity and $42.96 per thousand cubic feet for natural gas.
The cheapest electricity is available in Oklahoma, where commercial facilities currently pays just 7.6 cents per kWh. Iowa takes the honors for the least costly natural gas at $7.44 per thousand cubic feet.
The energy news for Hawaii isn't all bad, however – EIA places it dead last in energy consumption thanks to its mild climate. The agency's annual consumption survey shows Hawaii's commercial sector using roughly 27.3 million BTU in 2012 (the most recent year for which this data is available), while Washington, DC, used 176.6 million.

Lexus nixes RC convertible in favour of LS-based 3-row crossover [w/poll]
Posted Nov 26th 2014 5:00PM
When Lexus unveiled the LF-C2 concept at the LA Auto Show last week, it did two things: it previewed the direction in which the Japanese luxury automaker's design department was looking for the immediate future, and it previewed a cabrio version of the RC coupe (to replace the IS Convertible) on the other. But the latter, according to new reports, was ruled out before the concept ever took the stage.
Although the prospect of a convertible version was engineered right into the RC coupe's chassis, Motor Trend reports that plans to put such a vehicle into production were met with hostility by Lexus dealers, who were offered a two-door convertible instead of the three-row crossover they've been lobbying for.
As a result – and with a finite amount of development bucks on hand – Lexus is reportedly listening to its dealers, axing the RC Convertible program and proceeding instead with a seven-seat crossover. Plans to stretch the RX were reportedly ruled out, so Toyota is reportedly proceeding instead with a new model to be based on the LS sedan. The new model would take aim at the likes of the Mercedes GL, Audi Q7 and Infiniti QX60 when it arrives in three years as a 2018 model.
It's not the first time we've seen Toyota listen to dealers asking for a high-end people-mover: Earlier this year, dealers in Japan asked the automaker for a luxed-out minivan, prompting it to build the Esquire van just for the Japanese Domestic Market.

News in Brief: Scott Walker, Dark Was the Night, Eddi Reader, Nelsonville Festival
By Tom Breihan on April 7, 2009 at 6:05 p.m. EDT
-- Scott Walker has one of the most distinct, inimitable voices imaginable; even his 60s pop material sounds like the work of someone barely hanging onto sanity. But that won't stop 12 very brave artists from covering Walker's songs on the soundtrack to Stephen Kijack's documentary Scott Walker: 30th Century Man. The soundtrack, which Lakeshore will release digitally on April 21 (with physical copies arriving April 28), works as a tribute album, with artists like Saint Etienne, Ulrich Schnauss, Laurie Anderson, and Damon & Naomi covering Walker's songs. Most intriguingly, former Swans singer Jarboe will take on "A Lover Loves", which should be nuts. The movie will be out June 16 on DVD via Oscilloscope. (Via Exclaim!)
-- The big Dark Was the Night concert goes down at New York's Radio City Music Hall show on May 3. Your favorite band is probably playing. And so you might want to look into this auction: the Red Hot Organization, the people responsible for both the show and the compilation, are auctioning off two tickets, along with a very sweet "Josh Freese Commemorative Bonus Prize Pack" (Ha ha). It includes dinner, limo service, an afterparty pass, a set list, a pile of albums, National drummer Bryan Devendorf's snare head, a signed copy of the album, and something called the "Mystery Shit Box", which hopefully will not contain actual shit. Impress your date. For more about the big extravaganza, check out our interview with the National's Aaron Dessner, one of the organizers. Oh, and David Byrne was added to the list of performers since we last reported.
-- On April 21, Rough Trade will release Love Is the Way, the new solo album from former Fairground Attraction singer Eddi Reader.
-- Mudhoney, T-Model Ford, Alela Diane, Jolie Holland, and Michael Hurley are among the odd bunch of artists playing the Nelsonville Festival, which will happen May 15-17 at Robbins Crossing at Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio. Willie Nelson will headline, appropriately enough.

Thinking Outside The Box
Owen Hargreaves has clearly been paying attention to the transfer market this summer as he picks five players to watch in the new season for BT Sport.
The little-known names in question? Get Wikipedia ready...
Wayne Rooney, Cesc Fabregas - that's FAB-RE-GAS - Yaya Toure, Robin van Persie (a Dutch international, apparently), and Mesut Ozil.
Boy, we can't wait to see this lot in action!
One To Keep On File
Said Brendan Rodgers on losing world-class 31-goal striker Luis Suarez: "I think we will be stronger again this year, no doubt."
Sure, Brendan. Sure.
Mediawatch rarely turns to the Daily Record due to its unashamed sensationalising of every minor story but, on a day dominated by the start of The Open, we've been forced to head north of the border.
Much to our relief, we weren't disappointed, as David McCarthy treats us to the biggest overreaction to a pre-season friendly in the history of meaningless pre-season friendlies.
'Dundee defeat showed that Manchester City's millionaires are nothing more than a shower of shameless slackers,' blasts the Record's headline following City's 2-0 defeat to the Scottish minnows.
It gets better as an outraged McCarthy writes: 'I don't know how many Manchester City fans turned up at Dens Park on Sunday for their team's first pre-season friendly but every single one of them is due an apology...
'By my reckoning, that lot who were beaten 2-0 by Dundee cost more than £141m. That is utterly mind-boggling and for that kind of outlay, the least you'd expect is a bit of effort.
'Instead, the Man City fans in the crowd witnessed an exercise in going through the motions. Their attitude stank the place out. They treated it like a training session and they couldn't give a toss.'
Perhaps that's because it essentially was a training session, David? Perhaps City's only responsibility in such a meaningless friendly - their first of pre-season - was to work on their fitness and avoid pushing themselves too hard. If you take a quick look around, you'll see plenty of similar results at this time of year.
But of course, you're right - sack the lot of them. They're a disgrace.
Finders Keepers
Said Nicky Butt on Manchester United's transfer business: "You can all talk about Pogba or Kroos but these kind of players are not easy to get. So you have to widen your net and Herrera is a bonus."
They might not be easy to get, but it wouldn't have been too hard to keep one of them.
Headline in The Sun: 'BRUNO'S LVG KO.'
'Porto have slapped a £31.5million buy-out clause on Bruno Martins Indi after the Manchester United target snubbed the Premier League,' writes Mike McGrath.
'The Dutch defender, 22, worked with United boss Louis van Gaal at the World Cup - but he opted for a move to the Portuguese club despite huge interest in England.'
Two things:
1) It's standard practice for Portuguese clubs to insert huge release clauses into players' contracts.
2) We doubt Van Gaal will be 'KO'd' by Martins Indi's choice. If he'd wanted the defender, he surely would have just, you know, signed him.
Mediawatch is tired - actually, make that bloody knackered - of reading the same tedious stories of Louis van Gaal's proposed overhaul at Manchester United. This line has been on repeat since May - please oh please can someone change the record?
The Daily Mirror are the latest to bring us the 'news' of Van Gaal's plans, as 'HATCHET VAN' prepares to 'axe 10 stars'. They're not really 'stars' if they're going to be axed, surely?
'As many as TEN players are facing the axe under Van Gaal, who is determined to overhaul the squad that fared so disastrously under sacked boss David Moyes last season,' writes David McDonnell.
'Those players to be shown the door include Wilfried Zaha, Marouane Fellaini, Ashley Young, Tom Cleverley, Nani, Anderson, Bebe and Nick Powell.
'With Patrice Evra leaving for Juventus and striker Javier Hernandez open to a move away, Van Gaal's reign will begin with a big shake-up.'
Except we all know that won't happen. If Van Gaal were to get rid of those ten players, United would be left with a squad of just 14 who had played more than a single Premier League game last season plus Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera. That would leave Van Gaal either relying on youngsters to a ridiculous degree or needing six to eight signings to bring the squad up to the 25-man allowance.
Considering the team jet off to the US for the International Champions Cup in a week's time, begin the Premier League campaign in only a month, and that there are only six weeks until the close of the transfer window, Mediawatch would say the chances of ten players leaving are incredibly slim.
But don't let that get in the way of a good story.
How Did That Go?
Said Bayern Munich sporting director Matthias Sammer in February: "Toni (Kroos) has a contract until the summer of 2015 and he will not be going anywhere before then."
Credit Where Credit's Due
A big thank you to Mario Gotze, on behalf of the Daily Mail, for holidaying in Ibiza with his 'lingerie model girlfriend' after winning the World Cup.
They say a picture says a thousand words - presumably that's why there are 11 of them and only six sentences.
Worryingly Relaxed
Amid reports that Blackpool boss Jose Riga is set to quit the shambles at Blackpool, this is is what club chairman Karl Oyston had to say: "We're finding it difficult to land some of the players we've been chasing. That's always the case, but unfortunately it's with a backdrop of not having many players, so it focuses things a little more than normal."
Karl, it's 23 days until the start of the season and you only have eight players and no goalkeeper. To have an 18-man squad in time for kick-off, you need to sign a player every 55 hours. It might be time to panic.
Worst. Ultimatum. Ever.
Writes Graeme Bryce in The Sun: 'Bojan has been given until tomorrow to decide whether to swap Barcelona for Stoke.'
Can he just retire?
Football in 2014
'If we don't sign Reus before next game I'm going to stab my dog,' tweeted a young Liverpool fan who attached a menacing picture of him holding a kitchen knife. The police were called.
Worst Headline Of The Day

'Johannesburg - Limpopo police could not confirm a report on Wednesday that initiation school teachers stole 20 pigs from a Limpopo farmer because he was not circumcised.
'The New Age newspaper reported on Wednesday, that Mafole Machika, 57, said his pigs were stolen by a group of people from a local cultural initiation camp in a village in Jane Furse.
'"The mob, armed with sticks, knobkerries, axes and pangas, stormed my yard undressed to their waists," Machika was quoted as saying.
'"They took my 20 pigs while shouting that I was a worthless man who had not been culturally circumcised... All I want is justice. Every year during cultural initiation rituals, gangs of boys and men insult me about my private parts."
'He told the newspaper the Nebo police station commander told him it was the traditional law of the land that he be treated like that because he was uncircumcised' - news24.com

Abstract: The capacity of a hybrid constructed wetland (CW) system consisting of two vertical flow (VF) CWs working alternatively (3 m(2)), one horizontal flow (HF) CW (2 m(2)) and one surface flow (FWS) CW (2 m(2)) in series to eliminate 13 emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) under three different hydraulic loading rates (HLRs) (0.06, 0.13 and 0.18 m d(-1) considering the area of the two VF beds) was studied through a continuous injection experiment General toxicity, dioxin-like activity, antimicrobial activity and estrogenicity were also measured under the highest hydraulic loading rate. The hybrid system was highly efficient on the removal of total injected EOCs (except for antibiotics, 43 +/- 32%) at all three HLRs (87 +/- 10%). The removal efficiency in the hybrid CW system showed to decrease as the HLR increased for most compounds. The VF wetlands removed most of the injected EOCs more efficiently than the other two CWs, which was attributable to the predominant aerobic degradation pathways of the VF beds (70 +/- 21%). General toxicity was reduced up to 90% by the VF beds. Estrogenicity and dioxin-like activity were similarly reduced by the VF and the HF wetlands, whereas antimicrobial activity was mainly removed by the FWS wetland. Bearing this in mind, this injection study has demonstrated that the use of hybrid CW systems is a suitable wastewater technology for removing EOCs and toxicity even at high HLRs.

Hydro morphodynamic modelling in Mediterranean storms: errors and uncertainties under sharp gradients http://hdl.handle.net/2117/24744 Title: Hydro morphodynamic modelling in Mediterranean storms: errors and uncertainties under sharp gradients Authors: Sánchez-Arcilla Conejo, Agustín; Gracia Garcia, Vicente; García León, Manuel Abstract: This paper deals with the limits in hydrodynamic and morphodynamic predictions for semi-enclosed coastal domains subject to sharp gradients (in bathymetry, topography, sediment transport and coastal damages). It starts with an overview of wave prediction limits (based on satellite images and buoy records) in a restricted domain, namely the Mediterranean basin, followed by an in-depth analysis of the Catalan coast, one of its land boundaries. The morphodynamic modelling for such regions is next discussed, based on the impact of a characteristic storm. The driving wave and surge conditions produce a morphodynamic response that is validated against the pre- and post-storm emerged beach state, recovered from two lidar images. The quality of the fit is discussed in terms of the physical processes and the suitability of the employed modelling suite. From here an assessment of errors and uncertainties is presented, with the aim of establishing the prediction limits for flooding and erosion analyses, key elements for coastal engineering decisions. 2014-11-17T18:28:46Z Emerging organic contaminants in vertical subsurface flow constructed wetlands : Influence of media size, loading frequency and use of active aeration http://hdl.handle.net/2117/24380 Title: Emerging organic contaminants in vertical subsurface flow constructed wetlands : Influence of media size, loading frequency and use of active aeration Authors: Ávila Martín, Cristina; Nivala, Jaime; Olsson, Linda; Kassa, Kinfe; Headley, Tom; Mueller, Roland A.; Bayona, Josep Maria; García Serrano, Joan Abstract: Four side-by-side pilot-scale vertical flow (VF) constructed wetlands of different designs were evaluated for the removal of eight widely used emerging organic contaminants from municipal wastewater (i.e. ibuprofen, acetaminophen, diclofenac, tonalide, oxybenzone, triclosan, ethinylestradiol, bisphenol A). Three of the systems were free-draining, with one containing a gravel substrate (VGp), while the other two contained sand substrate (VS1p and VS2p). The fourth system had a saturated gravel substrate and active aeration supplied across the bottom of the bed (VAp). All beds were pulse-loaded on an hourly basis, except VS2p, which was pulse-loaded every 2h. Each system had a surface area of 6.2m2, received a hydraulic loading rate of 95mm/day and was planted with Phragmites australis. The beds received an organic loading rate of 7-16gTOC/m2d. The sand-based VF (VS1p) performed significantly better (p<0.05) than the gravel-based wetland (VGp) both in the removal of conventional water quality parameters (TSS, TOC, NH4-N) and studied emerging organic contaminants except for diclofenac (85±17% vs. 74±15% average emerging organic contaminant removal for VS1p and VGp, respectively). Although loading frequency (hourly vs. bi-hourly) was not observed to affect the removal efficiency of the cited conventional water quality parameters, significantly lower removal efficiencies were found for tonalide and bisphenol A for the VF wetland that received bi-hourly dosing (VS2p) (higher volume per pulse), probably due to the more reducing conditions observed in that system. However, diclofenac was the only contaminant showing an opposite trend to the rest of the compounds, achieving higher elimination rates in the wetlands that exhibited less-oxidizing conditions (VS2p and VGp). The use of active aeration in the saturated gravel bed (VAp) generally improved the treatment performance compared to the free-draining gravel bed (VGp) and achieved a similar performance to the free-draining sand-based VF wetlands (VS1p). 2014-10-15T15:46:34Z Debris flow warning through radar nowcasting and critical rainfall thresholds: a case study in the Glarus catchment (Switzerland) http://hdl.handle.net/2117/24034 Title: Debris flow warning through radar nowcasting and critical rainfall thresholds: a case study in the Glarus catchment (Switzerland) Authors: Mitidieri, Francesco; Papa, Maria Nicolina; Ciervo, Fabio; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc; Sempere Torres, Daniel; de Medina Iglesias, Vicente César; Bateman Pinzón, Allen Abstract: The mitigation of debris flow (DF) risk can be achieved by the means of reliable warning systems. At present time, operational warning systems are mostly based on critical rainfall thresholds (CRT) derived through the elaboration of past event records. The prediction ability of these systems strictly depends on the quality and availability of historical data. In order to overcome these limitations, in this work the CRT curves are derived from mathematical and numerical simulations carried out using a coupled hydrological-stability model. The CRT curves thus obtained are combined with rainfall nowcasts based on the observations of meteorological radar network. A case study in central Switzerland is presented. The performances of the proposed system are tested through a playback analysis of a past event. It results that the use of nowcasting allows for a crucial increment of the advance time interval. 2014-09-12T07:32:02Z Large wood in rivers and its Influence on flood hazard http://hdl.handle.net/2117/23401 Title: Large wood in rivers and its Influence on flood hazard Authors: Ruiz-Villanueva, Virginia.; Díez-Herrero, A.; Bodoque, Jose María; Bladé i Castellet, Ernest Abstract: In terms of flood hazard, the presence of large wood (logs, trees, branches and roots) in rivers may aggravate the consequences of flood events. This material may affect infrastructures such as bridges, weirs, etc., especially those intersecting forested mountain rivers. Until recently, a widely accepted practice was to systematically remove wood debris from river channels as a preventive measure. However, studies have shown that this practice may be useless as the material is transported and deposited after each flood and may even not benefit the long term natural balance of the river ecosystem. Therefore, the presence of this woody material in rivers must be managed and included in flood hazard and risk analysis. In this paper we present a comprehensive methodological approach to study the role of large wood in rivers, with a focus on flood hazard. First, to understand the dynamics of wood recruitment, the contributing areas delivering wood to the streams have to be delineated and the recruitment mechanisms studied. Thus, an estimate can be obtained of the potential volume of deliverable wood. To analyse wood transport we present a numerical model, which allows simulates the behaviour of individual pieces of wood together with hydrodynamics. Finally, we analyse the impact of wood on the magnitude of flood events (in terms of water level, flow velocity or flooded areas), using as an example a flood which occurred in December 1997 in the Sierra de Gredos. The results allowed us to reproduce the wood deposit patterns during the event and to reconstruct the bridge blockage. This caused the upstream water level to rise by up to 2 meters and reduced the flow velocity, which favoured debris and sediment deposits. Consequently, the effects of flooding were equivalent to those of a greater magnitude event. This increase in the flood hazard has been numerically quantified. 2014-07-04T10:59:05Z Tidal transformation and resonance in a short, microtidal Mediterranean estuary (Alfacs Bay in Ebre delta) http://hdl.handle.net/2117/23288 Title: Tidal transformation and resonance in a short, microtidal Mediterranean estuary (Alfacs Bay in Ebre delta) Authors: Cerralbo Peñarroya, Pablo; Grifoll Colls, Manel; Valle Levinson, Arnoldo; Espino Infantes, Manuel Abstract: Tidal and subtidal waves are analyzed with sea-level data and numerical modeling in a short and micro-tidal embayment, Alfacs Bay (NW Mediterranean Sea). Data analysis exhibits tidal wave amplification and seiching (characteristic period of 3.5h) along the bay. Numerical results show an eight-fold increase in quarter-wave resonant wave amplitudes from the mouth to the head of the bay. This amplification follows the classical description of a standing wave. Moreover, resonant wave velocities measured and computed at the bay mouth (node location) are about one order of magnitude higher than tidal currents. Analysis of astronomic tidal propagation in the bay reveals similar behavior for diurnal and semidiurnal constituents. Tidal waves amplify along the bay by 3% for diurnal and 10% for semidiurnal constituents. Numerical simulations conducted with different domains indicate that geometric effects dominate over frictional influences in causing the wave behavior. This behavior is consistent with the existence of a quasi-steady standing wave within the bay. 2014-06-22T12:41:55Z Wave reflection on dissipative quay walls: an experimental study http://hdl.handle.net/2117/23144 Title: Wave reflection on dissipative quay walls: an experimental study Authors: Altomare, Corrado; Gironella Cobos, Xavier; Sánchez-Arcilla Conejo, Agustín; Sospedra Iglesias, Joaquim Abstract: The paper discusses the influence of slope porosity and model scale for a low reflective vertical quay. Physical model tests were carried out in the small and large scale facilities at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, in Barcelona, with regular waves. Matteotti (1991) conducted experiments for similar kind of quay. The results for small scale agree with the Matteotti's ones, but the large scale tests lead to smaller reflection. This is due to the presence of scale effect at small scales. The authors applied the Burcharth et al (1999) approach to treat scale effects, as shown in the paper. 2014-06-03T16:37:46Z Numerical modelling of coastal defences using the smoothed particle hydrodynamic method http://hdl.handle.net/2117/23032 Title: Numerical modelling of coastal defences using the smoothed particle hydrodynamic method Authors: Crespo, Alejandro; Altomare, Corrado; Rogers, Benedict D.; Dominguez, Jose; Gironella Cobos, Xavier Abstract: The present paper reports the results of the application of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method to model the wave run-up over an armour breakwater. The units that form the outer layer of the structure have been modelled in 3D to validate the response under wave attacks. The open-source GPU DualSPHysics code has been used because of its capability to simulate millions of particles required for an accurate modelling. The run-up heights have been computed and compared with empirical solutions. The results are in agreement with the ones obtained using literature formulae. 2014-05-21T17:25:38Z Estimación del hidrograma de salida en una cuenca usando un modelo hidrológico distribuido y un modelo hidráulico bidimensional en volúmenes finitos http://hdl.handle.net/2117/22709 Title: Estimación del hidrograma de salida en una cuenca usando un modelo hidrológico distribuido y un modelo hidráulico bidimensional en volúmenes finitos Authors: Bladé i Castellet, Ernest; Sánchez Tueros, Hans Paul; Dolz Ripollès, Josep; Sánchez Juny, Martí; Domínguez Mora, Ramón; Arganis Juarez, Maritza Liliana; Carrizosa Elizondo, Eliseo; Esquivel Garduño, Gabriela; Juárez Dehesa, Jorge Iván Description: Proyecto de colaboración internacional Instituto Flumen - Instituto de Ingeniería de la UNAM 2014-04-25T14:43:19Z Assessment methodology for the prediction of landslide dam hazard http://hdl.handle.net/2117/22582 Title: Assessment methodology for the prediction of landslide dam hazard Authors: Del Sasso, S.F; Sole, Aurelia; Pascale, Stefania; Sdao, Francesco; Bateman Pinzón, Allen; de Medina Iglesias, Vicente César Abstract: This paper represents a contribution to the study of hazard caused by the interaction between landslides and river courses. The effects of such interferences are often catastrophic and could include the formation of upstream lakes, potential dam failure, river bed dynamics and morphological alterations. These scenarios could be substantially reduced if it was possible to predict the eventuality that a moving landslide would block the river. This is a complex topic because it involves composite geomorphic phenomena concerning both hillslope and river systems and their interpretation, through model approaches, is still under development and testing. In this study, a methodology developed in the framework of European Research Project IMPRINTS (FP7) was adopted and integrated in order to identify the areas of triggering and propagation of landslides and to characterize the possible scenarios of the interaction with river networks. Different deterministic and probabilistic approaches, calibrated using a case test in the middle valley of the Noce River in Basilicata (Italy), were applied and compared at basin scale. 2014-04-09T13:29:08Z Technical, economic and environmental assessment of household biogas digesters in developing countries http://hdl.handle.net/2117/22474 Title: Technical, economic and environmental assessment of household biogas digesters in developing countries Authors: Ferrer Martí, Ivet; Cadena, Erasmo; Pérez Bort, Irene; Garfi, Marianna Abstract: This study was carried out in response to the growing interest on household biogas digesters in Latin America, particularly in rural Andean communities. The aim was to compare traditional and novel digester designs, in terms of biogas production, cost and environmental impact. Three household digesters were compared: 1) fixed dome – Chinese model; 2) fixed dome – Camartec model and 3) plastic tubular – Taiwanese model. Data concerning design and operational parameters, construction materials and costs were obtained from our previous results on plastic tubular digesters and from the literature on fixed dome digesters. The biogas production rate ranged around 0.07-0.5 m3 biogas m-3 digester d-1 in plastic tubular digesters and around 0.35-0.7 m3 biogas m-3 digester d-1 in fixed dome digesters. The novel design of the Camartec model reduced construction materials and capital cost by 27 % compared to the Chinese model. The cost of plastic tubular digesters was mainly attributed to the geomembrane. The life cycle assessment showed how the Camartec model caused the lowest impact, while the plastic tubular digester had the highest impact; which was mainly attributed to plastic materials (greenhouse and biogas reservoir) and geomembrane (digester). In the Chinese model, the main impact was caused by concrete and bricks, which were respectively 38 and 22 % higher than in the Camartec system. The highest impact of the tubular digester may be explained by the lifespan of construction materials. From an economic and environmental perspective, the Camartec model seems the best option; the main advantage of plastic tubular digesters being its ease of implementation and handling. 2014-04-01T17:56:55Z Multihazard coastal vulnerability assessment http://hdl.handle.net/2117/22458 Title: Multihazard coastal vulnerability assessment Authors: Jiménez Quintana, José Antonio Abstract: A general framework to assess coastal vulnerability taking into account the functions supported the coast is presented by defining specific coastal optimum and failure states for each function. It considers morphodynamic hazards acting on the coast in a separated manner (erosion and inundation) and it assess their magnitude at different time scales (medium-, episodic- and long-term). The framework has been applied to the Catalan coast (Spanish NW Mediterranean) and, obtained results show that the present status of beaches along the Catalan coast reflects a significant vulnerability for recreation and protection. 2014-03-31T14:47:06Z Decision support system for risk assessment and management of floods: Ramflood Project http://hdl.handle.net/2117/22340 Title: Decision support system for risk assessment and management of floods: Ramflood Project Authors: Oñate Ibáñez de Navarra, Eugenio; Piazzese, J.; Dolz Ripollès, Josep; Gómez Valentín, Manuel; Bladé i Castellet, Ernest 2014-03-21T17:23:23Z The evolution of mobile bed tests: a step towards the future of coastal engineering http://hdl.handle.net/2117/22330 Title: The evolution of mobile bed tests: a step towards the future of coastal engineering Authors: Sánchez-Arcilla Conejo, Agustín; Cáceres Rabionet, Iván; Thorne, Peter D.; Eiff, Olivier; Lacaze, Laurent; Hurther, David; Barraud, P.A.; Musumerci, Rosaria; Vousdoukas, Michalis; Sancho, Francisco Abstract: Coastal Engineering still presents significant levels of uncertainty, much larger for sediment transport and morphodynamics than for the driving hydrodynamics. Because of that there is still a need for experimental research that addresses the water and sediment fluxes occurring at multiple scales in the near shore and for some of which there are still not universally accepted equations or closure sub-models. Large scale bed tests offer the possibility to obtain undistorted results under controlled conditions that may look at sediment transport and associated bed evolution under a variety of wave and mean water level conditions. The present limitations in conventional observation equipment preclude a clear advancement in knowledge or model calibration. However the new developments in opto-acoustic equipment should allow such an advancement to take place provided the new experimental equipment becomes more robust in parallel with a protocol for deployment and data processing. This paper will present the experimental approach to erosive and accretive beach dynamics, with emphasis on the accretive experiments. These accretive tests still present further uncertainties and sometimes cannot be explained with the present state of the art. Following this there is a presentation of the novel development of an acoustic bed form and suspended sediment imager, able to monitor bed forms near bed sediment transport and their corresponding dynamics. The next section deals with an acoustic high resolution concentration and velocity profiler that is able to infer even the elusive bed level, together with the near bed concentrated sediment transport and the details of fluxes on the stoss and lee sides of moving bed forms. This is followed by a discussion on the merits of novel optic techniques, using structured and unstructured light sources. There is also some remarks on new approaches. Illustrated by the use of ferro-fluids to obtain directly the shear stresses acting on a wall even under the presence of "some" sediment. The paper ends with some conclusions on the use of such mobile bed tests in present and future Coastal Engineering. 2014-03-21T14:05:44Z

CybersecurityA malware more sophisticated than Stuxnet discovered
Security experts at Symantechave discovered the world's most sophisticated computer malware, Regin. Thought to have been created by a Western intelligence agency, and in many respects more advanced than Stuxnet — which was developed by the U.S. and Israeli government in 2010 to hack the Iranian nuclear program — Regin has targeted Russian, Saudi Arabian, Mexican, Irish, and Iranian Internet service providers and telecoms companies. "Nothing else comes close to this … nothing else we look at compares," said one security expert.
China syndromeSecurity concerns over purchase of Waldorf Astoria by Chinese company
Citing espionage risk, U.S. officials are expressing concern over the sale of the historic Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City to a Chinese insurance company. The sale of the hotel will likely lead to a review by the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment (CFIUS) of the Chinese firm's long-term plans for the site and the finer details of the sale. "Because the agreement calls for major renovations to the hotel, CFIUS will be worried that the Chinese could engage in some form of espionage," said a former Treasury Department official who managed CFIUS reviews.
Security businessSecurity contractor USIS failed to notice months-long hacking of its computer systems
A new report reveals that the cyberattack on security contractor USIS, similar to previous attacks by Chinese government hackers on U.S. firms, was infiltrating USIS computer systems for months before the company noticed. The breach, first revealed publicly by the company and the Office of Personnel Management(OPM) in August, compromised the records of at least 25,000 DHS employees.

China syndromeChina steals confidential data on the vulnerabilities of major U.S. dams
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams(NID) contains critical information on the vulnerabilities of the roughly 8,100 major dams in the United States. Between January and April 2013, U.S. intelligence agencies spotted several attempts by China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) cyber-espionage unit to access the NID database and steal its contents. On Monday, National Weather Service (NWS) hydrologist Xiafen "Sherry" Chen, 59 was arrested for allegedly breaching the NID security and stealing confidential data on U.S. dam vulnerabilities. The Justice Department has raised the alarm over multiple attempts by China to steal data on U.S. critical infrastructure through individuals with privileged access to confidential databases.
China syndromeSale of NYC historic Waldorf Astoria hotel to Chinese firm worries U.S. security officials
Citing an espionage risk, U.S. officials are expressing concern over the sale of the historic Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City to a Chinese insurance company. The Beijing-based Anbang Insurance Group purchased the property from Hilton Worldwide on 6 October for $1.95 billion. One clause in the sale contract, referring to "a major renovation," has raised eye brows in Western security services. Specifically, they worry that renovations and modifications to the structure could accommodate Chinese eavesdropping and cyber espionage equipment.

British authorities have announced that a public inquiry will be held into the death of former Russian KGB officer who became a British citizen, Alexander Litvinenko.Litvinenko, 43, died in 2006 after he was poisoned with radioactive polonium while drinking tea with two former KGB agents at a London hotel.
China syndromeChinese government hackers collected information on U.S. security clearance applicants
Chinese government hackers last March broke into the computer networks of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, the agency which keeps the personal information of all federal employees. The hackers targeted the information of tens of thousands of employees who had applied for top-secret security clearances. Experts note that the hacking of OPM files containing information about federal employees applying for security clearance is especially disturbing since federal employees applying for security clearances enter their most personal information.
Security clearancesU.S. approves fewer security clearances
A new report by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence(ODNI) shows that the number of new security clearances provided by the federal government, both initial clearances and renewals, has decreased by 9 percent since 2011. The number of approved clearances decreased for the second consecutive year in fiscal 2013, to just over 777,000.One observer saidthe reduction is a response to a period in the mid-2000s when "basically everyone needed a clearance."
CybersecuritySecuring Industry 4.0
An increasing number of unsecured, computer-guided production machinery and networks in production facilities are gradually evolving into gateways for data theft. New security technologies may directly shield the sensitive data that is kept there.
Insider threatIdentifying, thwarting insider threats before they do damage
Researchers argue that one way to identify and predict potential insider threats even before these individuals begin to do damage like stealing and leaking sensitive information, is by using Big Data to monitor changes in behavior patterns. Researchers at PARC, for example, found that individuals who exhibit sudden decrease in participation in group activity, whether in a game like World of Warcraft or corporate e-mail communications, are likely to withdraw from the organization. A withdrawal represents dissatisfaction with the organization, a common trait of individuals who are likely to engage in insider security breaches.
SurveillanceSnowden stole co-worker's password to gain access to secret databanks: NSA
One reason National Security Agency (NSA) former analyst Edward Snowden was able to gain such broad access to a wide variety of agency's secret documents was that he copied a password from a co-worker who has since resigned. After Snowden was denied access to NSANet, the agency's computer network which connects into many of the agency's classified databases, he persuaded a co-worker, an NSA civilian employee, to use his – the co-worker's — Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificate to gain access. The NSA told Congress Snowden used what the agency describes as "digital deception": the civilian NSA employee entered his password on Snowden's computer, not realizing that Snowden was able to capture the password, allowing him even greater access to classified information. Once he gained access to NSANet, Snowden released a "Web crawler" inside the system. The crawler automatically indexed the NSANet, and using the passwords Snowden held – one his, one or more those of co-workers – copied every document in its path.
SurveillanceGerman IT industry hopes to benefit from NSA leaks-inspired distrust of U.S. tech companies
The German IT sector is hoping to benefit from trust lost in American technology firms in the aftermath of Edward Snowden's leaks. The German government is looking to develop Internet security initiatives, with government departments vying with each other for a lead role. Both inside and outside the German government a proposal, known as "Schengen Routing," is advanced which calls for data originated in Europe to be processed and stored within Europe. Critics warn that plans to create a European routing system could affect the openness of the Internet.
CybersecurityThe "Mask": Kaspersky Lab discovers advanced global cyber-espionage operation
Kaspersky Lab's security researchers have announced the discovery of the Mask (aka Careto), an advanced Spanish-language speaking threat actor that has been involved in global cyber-espionage operations since at least 2007. What makes the Mask special is the complexity of the toolset used by the attackers. This includes a sophisticated malware, a rootkit, a bootkit, Mac OS X and Linux versions, and possibly versions for Android and iOS (iPad/iPhone). The primary targets are government institutions, diplomatic offices and embassies, energy, oil, and gas companies, research organizations and activists. Victims of this targeted attack have been found in thirty-one countries around the world.
