To overcome the lack of reactivity of PIS for free radical photopolymerization under visible light, photocyclic initiating systems have been developed. In such systems not only the intrinsic problem of reactivity of the Type II system is circumvented, but also the dye is recovered after reaction. These systems are based on a dye as absorbing species, an electron or hydrogen donor as coinitiator and a redox additive which aims to react with the photoproduct formed from the dye. These systems can be used to improve the photosensitivity in holography recording.

A spherical inorganic material combined with its organic capping can be considered as a nanohybrid with properties that differ from those of the individual components. The symbiotic effect arise from the possibility of placing a high local concentration of a functional group on the NP surface, the potential incorporation of simultaneous functionalities on the NP capping, the high encapsulating capacity of the nanohybrid, the capacity of the ligand to produce an efficient interdigitation of amphiphilic molecules, the potential of the ligand to be used for establish specific interactions, among others. Several examples of the application of this cooperative action are presented.

Quantum yields are reported for several important chemiluminescence reactions, which involve electron transfer processes in the chemiexcitation step. Quantum yields are high for intramolecular transformations whereas they are very low for most intermolecular processes, with the notable exception of the peroxyoxalate reaction.

In this review we present the current state of fungal bioluminescence research and an overview of the application of bioluminescent fungi as an environmental toxicological tool. The enzyme catalyzed luminescent reaction of fungal luciferin is a two step process involving a soluble reductase and a membrane associated luciferase resulting in green light.

The photophysical properties of 2-phenyl-naphtho[1,2-d][1,3]oxazole, 2(4-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl)naphtho[1,2-d][1,3]oxazole and 2(4-N,N-diphenylaminophenyl) naphtho[1,2-d][1,3]oxazole, were studied in a serie of solvents. The dyes show valuable spectroscopic and photochemical properties: large molar absorbility and fluorescence quantum yield, short fluorescence lifetime,solvent-dependent changes of the dipole moment on excitation and photostability comparableto commercially available laser dyes.These properties make the molecules valuable candidates as fluorescent probes to be used in fluorescence microscopy and to determine physicochemical properties in micro-organized systems.

Photoinduced electron transfer between N-phenylglycine (NPG) and electronically excited triplets of 7-substituted-3-methyl-quinoxalin-2-ones generate the unexpected, 7-substituted-1,2,3,3a-tetrahydro-3a-methyl-2-phenylimidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalin-4(5H)-ones, annulation products. A reaction mechanism includes a photoinduced single electron transfer initiation step, propagation steps involving radical intermediates and NPG, with radical chain termination steps, leads to the respective products and NPG by-products.

A near infrared emissive asymmetric tricarbocyanine conveniently functionalized to improve water solubility and bioconjugation, has been evaluated as a highly sensitive sensor for zinc (II) in aqueous medium, which performs in an appropriate range for biological studies. The probe was successfully conjugated to a protein-ligand model with high affinity and specificity (biotin-streptavidin technology) rendering an excellent performance of sensing.

2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6- and 3,5-dihydroxyacetophenone (DHA) used as matrices in matrix-assisted ultraviolet laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (UV-MALDI-MS) were studied by steady-state and transient-absorption spectroscopy, together with DFT calculations at the B3LYP level of theory. All compounds have low fluorescence quantum yields, possibly due to an efficient excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). Laser flash photolysis (LFP) results showed for 2,4-DHA a phototautomer detected at λ = 400 nm. Their photochemical stability in solution at different wavelengths and conditions was analyzed by different techniques. Only 3,5-DHA showed decomposition when irradiated, probably because phototautomerization is not possible.

A detailed study of the photosensitization of small (< 5 nm) TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) suspended in THF by perylene dyes is presented herein. The figure shows a TiO2 nanoparticle (NP) with attached (green) and free (red) perylene derivatives. Arrows indicate elemental processes occurring in the system: photon (hν) absorption by the dye, photoinduced electron transfer (ET) from the dye to the TiO2 NP, back electron transfer (BET), and dye fluorescence (hν′). Steady state and transient absoption spectroscopy techniques were used to investigate these elemental processes. The right side graph shows absorption traces corresponding to the open-attached (green) and closed-free (red) forms of the dye.

We present two alternative strategies to achieve controllable fluorescence modulation, based on a molecular assembly containing a [1,3]oxazine, for imaging with a spatial resolution below the diffraction limit in single-molecule localization fluorescence microscopies. The oxazine acts as a two-state, a dark and a bright one, molecular switch. The incorporation of the assemblies in micelles renders them compatible for cellular biology applications.

Valdecoxib addition quenches the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA. The values obtained for the binding constant and the number of binding sites depend on the treatment of the fluorescence data. The most reliable procedure is the treatment of data using a combination of the Scatchard equation and data obtained at different protein concentrations.

Fluorescence measurements have been profusely employed to determine binding of solutes to proteins (Ks and the number of binding sites n). These values are derived from double log plots where the slope is equated to the number of equivalent binding sites in the proteins. We propose that the measured slope is unrelated to n.

Photoreduction of 7H-benzo[e]perimidin-7-ones by amines proceeds through a stepwise electron-proton-electron transfer mechanism, which was studied by using laser flash photolysis, steady-state photolysis and pulse radiolysis. Later, to achieve the triplet state, the sequence of reaction generates a radical ion pair, which by proton transfer over the N1- and O-atoms of substrates yields two different hydrogenated radicals, likely in equilibrium. These neutral radicals by the second electron transfer lead to the metastable products. Transient absorptions for intermediaries were characterized by laser flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis.

The scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by Diflunisal (DFNS) and Indomethacin (IMTC), two profusely employed anti-inflammatory and analgesic NSAIDs, was systematically studied in pH 7 aqueous solution. The ROS O2(1Δg), O2•− and H2O2, generated by visible light irradiation of Riboflavin, are deactivated by the NSAIDs. DFNS quenches ROS in a dominant physical fashion. It constitutes an excellent protective-antioxidant provided that is practically not destroyed/oxidized after the ROS scavenging action. IMTC, being also an efficient interceptor of ROS, belong to the so-called group of sacrificial-ROS quenchers: It is easily degraded by the oxidative species in the scavenging action.

Poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) is solubilized in phospholipid liposomes of DLPC, DMPC, DPPC, DMPE, DMPA, and DMPS giving rise to the formation of the ordered polymer β-phase which is characterized by a well-resolved characteristic vibronic structure in the emission spectra, higher luminescence efficiency and improved charge transport properties resulting from increased electron delocalization. This phase is better promoted by phospholipids with longer alkyl chain lengths or non-bulky and more hydrophobic head groups. The polymer agglomeration is considered the main mechanism for β-phase formation in these systems. A second driving force seems to be the interdigitation between the polymer and phospholipid alkyl chains.

Levomepromazine (LPZ, Levoprome® or Nozinan®) is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia and other schizoaffective disorders. Nevertheless, it is photolabile under UV-A and UV-B light in aerobic conditions resulting in the formation of its sulfoxide (LPZO). LPZSO does not form by the reaction of singlet oxygen with ground state LPZ. This oxidation product is actually produced by the reaction of the cation radical of LPZ (LPZ·+) with molecular oxygen. This cation radical in turn, is produced by an electron transfer process between the 3LPZ* and ground state molecular oxygen.

Time evolution of firefly bioluminescence has been studied by time-adjusted manual injection of ATP into buffer solution containing other reactants. The rise and decay rates of the emission intensity decrease with lowering pH from 7.8 to 6.8, while the delay of rise due to diffusion of ATP changes slightly. This pH dependence is attributed to the rate of ATP binding at luciferase. The emission spectra composed of two bands do not change their line shape for duration time of 600 s. The emission intensity of band at 2.2 eV becomes weaker than that at 2.0 eV with lowering pH.

Solar erythemal exposure at horizontal incidence and on different body parts of seafarers were measured on merchant vessels along 4 typical international routes and on RV METEOR at low latitudes. Maximum daily horizontal erythemal exposure in the tropics reached 96 SED (38 MED with phototype II). 40 to 80% of global erythemal exposure is received on the head. Ratios between direct-to-normal and global erythemal exposure derived from measurements and model calculations go up to 0.69. Maximum UV index values reached 22. A model has been proposed to estimate personal erythemal exposure of a seafarer from his/her personal record of sea service.

So here we have Street Fighters Rolento! He is my favorite fighter to use, especially in Street Fighter x Tekken. The recipe goes, used a AOA Sabertooth figure, swapped the hands, used a Punisher head, Dremeled off the Sabertooth collar, sculpted the Military hat, the collar and scarf thing, sculpted the belt and the bottom half of the jacket and resculpted the hands a bit. Wrapped him up with some paint. Really love this and wish I did him earlier.

Chris Abelen
trombone & more
Minus One
my name is Chris Abelen and I am a trombone player, composer and bandleader.
At this moment I am working on a new album, A day at the office, and a project with Bastiaan Geleijnse (text & lyrics).
A day at the office for small jazz ensemble.
Line-up: Trumpet - Alto Saxophone - Trombone - Baritone Saxophone - Guitar - Bass - Drums. Baritone solo by Tini Thomsen
Is it too much to suggest that on his four CDs so far, Chris Abelen has taken a thesis-antithesis-synthesis approach to bandleading?
Kevin Whitehead - liner notes
Plint is an EP, as an introduction to my music. From a quartet to a 10-piece band, with a string quartet. 4 pieces are on previously published albums, the title track is new, with a great tenor solo by Tobias Delius
A much stronger effort than his earlier Dance of the Penguins, What a Romance features a more confident, mature, and gruff-sounding Chris Abelen on trombone -- who not only leads but does so in glorious style. Steven Loewy - All Music Guide
Delius is featured over pedal tones on "Delay," just before Corrie van Binsbergen breaks out with a nasty electric guitar solo. Charles Huffstadt's march drums on "Who's Next" recall Henry Threadgill's Sextet, but this group's got a wholly original sound. Bassist Wilbert de Joode wields an enviable high-action, matte-timbre sound.
John Corbett - Downbeat
Imagine the Art Ensemble Of Chicago jamming with Duke Ellington and the Willem Breuker Collective, injecting their jam with elements from the New Orleans funk, blues and brass band music, and you'll get a pretty good picture of what this CD by this Dutch trombone player sounds like. GROOVEMASTER
I think listening to music on Youtube and looking at a picture of me, under a beach umbrella or in an aquarium is a quite boring setting. So I jumped in the car and drove to the beach and Amsterdam to shoot some footage. As you will see (and agree), the videos are from such a superb 'home-made' quality even the local video clubs won't accept me.
A day at the office, for small jazz ensemble - trumpet in B flat, alto saxophone, trombone, baritone saxophone (solo), guitar, bass & drums - score, parts & mp3 on SheetMusicPlus.

RIM, Microsoft Aim for Apple
TheStreet) -- The big news from the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, this week is operating systems. Everyone, it seems, has a new one. And by no coincidence, each one works like an Apple (AAPL - Get Report) iPhone. Microsoft (MSFT - Get Report) dazzled fans with its presentation of Windows Phone 7, an overhaul of its mobile software system, which is expected to be available in phones by the holidays.BARCELONA (
Research In Motion (RIMM) announced a new Web-friendly, application-ready operating system. Nokia (NOK) outlined yet another platform; this one, powered by Intel (INTC) and called MeeGo, is a blend of previous applications. Samsung rounded out the squad with Bada software, featuring a new "touchwiz" touchscreen control application. Notably, nothing yet from Palm (PALM). If you didn't know better, you might think all these players are trying to stand out in an increasingly crowded smartphone market. If you were a little circumspect, you might worry that not every player has what it takes to win in mobile phones. Deep into its third year, Apple's iPhone is still the design to beat. A big bright touchscreen, a thin form, fingertip gesture-control, a ton of applications and a full-page Internet browser are now the standard equipment on a new generation of phones. Google's (GOOG) effort with Android phones like the Motorola (MOT) Droid and HTC's latest like the Nexus One or Desire has notched a remarkable impact on the market. There's no Android blockbusters yet, but they make for a capable competitor to the iPhone.

DANA POINT, Calif. -- Had a nice visit with Redskins head coach Jim Zorn and his teenage son Isaac on Tuesday at the NFL owners' meeting. I'll stop by and visit with Zorn again tomorrow morning at the NFC coaches' breakfast, but here's what I came up with during our 10-minute chat:
Beast: How did Albert Haynesworth's first week in the conditioning program go?
Zorn: I was excited when he showed up Monday morning. He showed up with a great attitude. And then the same thing happened the next day and the next day.
Beast: What will Haynesworth bring to your team?
Zorn: He can No. 1 create distortion inside, which will draw attention. He can destroy blocking schemes. He will help. Our hope is that he helps the rest of the D-line and defensive backs. Some of it you're not going to be able to see. We'll make a play downfield, and it may have been because of his pressure.
Beast: Does Haynesworth remind you of anyone?
Zorn: I know he likes to look at Reggie White as a guy he wants to be like. He wants to be that type of impact player.
Beast: He's had his best couple of years when the Titans were dangling a contract in front of him. Does that concern you at all?
Zorn: Our job is to help him to realize all the potential that he wants to achieve. He is motivated and I think it's a lot of inner-motivation. He wants to achieve a lot of things. It's just about working hard and then us trying to envelop him into our program and into our team.
Beast: Are you concerned that you have old players at defensive end?
Zorn: It's still a need. We have to definitely be looking at that. But we think he can make some of the guys we already have even better.
Beast: When you look back on the second half of the 2008 season, what was the biggest thing that went wrong?
Zorn: It was an area on the field, from plus-50 to plus-20. That was a nemesis for us. When you look overall, that's where we struggled.
Beast: What are you looking for from Jason Campbell this season?
Zorn: We're looking for him to improve and have a great attitude and we're not worried about the contract issues.
Beast: Do you see him as the quarterback in Washington for years to come?
Zorn: Yes, he's on a good road. He's progressing and I look forward to him working through his second offseason in this offense. We want him to just work through the football program and find his comfort zone. I want him to have the same learning curve and develop a mastery of what his duties are.
Beast: Where are Devin Thomas, Malcolm Kelly and Fred Davis in terms of their development?
Zorn: They had to catch back up. And Devin and Fred caught back up late in the season. You would've seen a lot more from them had the season been longer.
Beast: How much different do you feel now as opposed to last year at this time?
Zorn: Last year, I was getting to know part of the staff. There was so much start-up going on. Now I know our players and they know me. We have a better understanding of all the players, coaches and the entire system.
We then talked about the time Zorn and his son went mountain-biking with President Bush last year. But we'll stick to football for now. Thanks for your continued support.

Robust design of multimachine power system stabilisers (PSSs) using the tabu search (TS) optimisation technique is presented. The proposed approach employs TS for optimal parameter settings of a widely used conventional fixed-structure lead-lag PSS (CPSS). The parameters of the proposed stabilisers are selected using TS in order to shift the system poorly damped electromechanical modes at several loading conditions and system configurations simultaneously to a prescribed zone in the left hand side of the s-plane. Incorporation of TS as a derivative-free optimisation technique in PSS design significantly reduces the computational burden. In addition, the quality of the optimal solution does not rely on the initial guess. The performance of the proposed PSSs under different disturbances and loading conditions is investigated for multimachine power systems. The eigenvalue analysis and the nonlinear simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed PSSs in damping out the local, as well as the interarea, modes and enhance greatly the system stability over a wide range of loading conditions and system configurations

These "connect-the-dots" bronze pearl earrings are so simple to make and are sure to attract attention. Keri Lee Sereika takes a twist on classic pearl earrings with this zig-zag dangle effect. Sophisticated yet fun! Try different colored pearls or beads too!
- Six headpins (Here I have antiqued brass)
- Six beads of your choice (Here I have bronze pearls)
- Pair of matching earwires
- Round-nosed pliers
- Chain-nosed pliers
- Flush cutters / wire nippers
- Thread pearls onto bottom of headpins.
- Use wire snippers to trim about 1/2 inch from top of one pair of headpins.
- Use chain-nosed pliers to bend headpin approximately 3/8 inch from top.
- Use round-nosed pliers to turn loop at top of headpins.
- Thread second pair of headpins through loops. Repeat steps 2-4.
- Repeat step 5 for final pair of headpins.
- Use chain-nosed pliers to twist bottom of ear wire loop to open; place top of earring loop in open ear wire loop.
- Use chain-nosed pliers to twist loop on bottom of ear wire closed.
- And here's your final project! Enjoy!

Voorheesville Elementary School continues to celebrate, with the community, its designation as a 2014 National Blue Ribbon School by the United States Department of Education.
At prom time, Albany County Deputy Marty Zaloga told Voorheesville's high school students on May 27 about the danger of driving while impaired.
A festive groundbreaking for a $3.8 million visitor's center at John Boyd Thacher State Park highlighted the Open Space Institute's private capital campaign goal of $1 million.
Voorheesville resident David P. Miranda is poised to oversee a committee to review the state constitution.
CLARKSVILLE — Join us on Wednesday, on June 3 at the Clarksvill Historical Society meeting, when Dietrich Ghering will discuss the impact of hops today and his efforts to re-establish a commercially viable Helderberg hops farm in the shadow of the Helderbergs near Indian Ladder Farms.
William Reinhardt, Slingerlands
Camp and family will memorialize the former director, who had "an evangelistic heart."
A Memorial Day weekend camping party found one of its group dead in the campfire and badly burned on Monday morning.
Voters also passed a $22.8 million Voorheesville school budget and a $1.1 million library budget.
Highway Superintendent Kenneth Guyer said residents should not be uncomfortable in their own parks, after a dog attack in April highlighted loose leash laws.

Chicken Coops
Imagine this scenario. It's a crisp Sunday morning in the fall, and the temperatures are hovering around 40 degrees. The sun is just breaking the horizon in a brilliant showcase of oranges and reds as you watch from where you sit at your kitchen table. You take a tentative sip of your coffee, which warms you from head to toe. You glance out the window and suddenly see a white blob off in the distance. Getting up from your chair, to get a closed look, you begin hearing the clucking noise and soon it's clear. The chickens are loose!
How can you prevent this from ever happening again? It's time for some new chicken containment products that will provide a strong and safe home for your chickens. Their safety is in your hands. You have to be sure that wherever they call home will keep them safely contained while also providing a safe environment within to keep them from harming themselves. And there are so many options from which to choose.
Whether you want an easy to snap together plastic coop or a cute, old fashioned looking wooden style, you will find them in the chicken containment category. Besides the coop, this category also offers accessories, like tray liners and chick brooders.

If you don't have tickets to see Bill Cosby on July 25 at the Lutcher Theater in Orange, you missed out. Tickets went on sale on Friday, May 2 and sold out in one day.
Before it hit the screen, it hit the stage, and now Les Misérables is coming to Southeast Texas. Orange Community Players presents the musical for eight performances: May 1-3, 8-10 at 7:37 p.m. and matinees on Sunday, May 4, and Sunday, May 11, at 2:37 p.m. Tickets are $15 for general admission and $10 for students. Reservations are required; call (409) 882-9137 or go online at orangecommunityplayers.org for details.
The international hit show Menopause The Musical returns to the Lutcher Theater for two performances on May 7-8 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale now for $42-$39 via the venue's box office, online at lutcher. org or by phone at (409) 886-5535.
Gulf Coast style food, fun and entertainment have long been associated with the Texas Crab Festival, and in its 29th year, the festival continues to offer a myriad of exciting attractions including wiener dog races, a two-step dance contest, a crab gumbo cook off, washers tournament, crab races, carnival rides and midway games, arts and crafts booths, and much more.
Tickets for the festival, set for May 9-11 at Gregory Park in Crystal Beach, are $10 each on Friday and Saturday with free admission on Sunday, Mother's Day.
One of America's most beloved comedians of all time, Bill Cosby, has captivated generations of fans with his comedy routines, iconic albums and best-selling books, such as Fatherhood andI Didn't Ask to be Born (But I'm Glad I Was). His comedy transcends age, gender and cultural barriers and he's coming to the Lutcher Theater for a very special evening on Friday, July 25, at 7:30 p.m.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Five panelists from academia and practice engaged in a vibrant and lively discussion on how to protect cultural heritage from disasters such as earthquakes and conflicts. There were 120 registrants from heritage and disaster studies and practice. It was exciting to see that most of attendees were from the heritage sector, e.g. museums, heritage studies and NGOs. The attendees enjoyed an interactive and thought-provoking discussion with the panelists. A drinks reception during which attendees could network and continue their informal discussions followed the discussion. Amy L Chadderton 2016-03-22T17:20:52Z International Workshop in Bangkok on Groundwater Resilience https://www.ucl.ac.uk/rdr/irdr/general-news/groundwater-resilience-workshop IRDR Research Fellow, Dr. Mohammad Shamsudduha (Shams) is coordinating an International Workshop on "Resilience of Groundwater Systems to Climate Change and Human Development" in Bangkok, Thailand from 7 th to 11 th February 2016. The British Council, together with the Thailand Research Fund, is supporting this international workshop through the Researcher Links Programme.

Amy L Chadderton 2016-01-19T14:00:20Z IRDR Alumni Dinner https://www.ucl.ac.uk/rdr/irdr/general-news/irdr-alumni-dinner Reflecting the growing body of IRDR graduates, the Institute held its second annual Alumni Dinner in November. The event was attended by a number of IRDR members, associates and returning scholars, as well as current staff and students. Amy L Chadderton 2016-01-04T14:44:41Z New UCL-IRDR & CNDS network established: call for researchers working on disasters-related topics across UCL https://www.ucl.ac.uk/rdr/irdr/general-news/ucl-cnds-network-established The Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction at UCL is promoting and improving collaboration with the Center for Natural Disaster Science (CNDS) in Sweden. The CNDS includes brings together several organisations including Uppsala University, Karlstad University and Swedish Defense College. Two postgraduate students initiated the collaboration last year and it has resulted in a visit to Sweden (funded by the Uppsala Forum grant) and a student-led doctoral workshop on Disaster Research last June at UCL. The workshop had thirty-two attendees, mixed between academics and students, coming from several departments at UCL and CNDS. A summary of the topics discussed can be found here . We intend to expand our network to anyone, either student or senior academic, who is working on disaster-related topics across UCL departments. This collaboration is cross-disciplinary and its aim is to develop a better understanding of how to reduce the impacts of disasters. To achieve this goal, we believe it is crucial to establish a collaboration and partnership between researchers coming from a range of disciplines and research institutes based in different countries. Amy L Chadderton 2015-11-30T17:26:49Z Young Scientist Award for IRDR PhD Student https://www.ucl.ac.uk/rdr/irdr/general-news/young-scientist-award Dr Carmine Galasso and Omar Velazquez have attended and presented their work on 'Engineering Applications of Earthquake Early Warning' at the 'Earthquake and Induced Multi-Risk Early Warning and Rapid Response' workshop in Luxembourg, between the 18th and the 20th of November.

This post is available for 1 year in the first instance and is full time (though a fractional appointment or job-share would be considered). Amy L Chadderton 2015-11-30T11:13:47Z Communicating water monitoring in Bolivia https://www.ucl.ac.uk/rdr/irdr/general-news/water-monitoring Dr Megan French of the UCL IRDR recently completed her project on assessing water risk from mining on the Bolivian Altiplano, working with Dr Stephen Edwards (UCL Hazard Centre and IRDR) and Professor Karen Hudson-Edwards (Birkbeck, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences). The project was co-funded by the IRDR and the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD) and was undertaken in collaboration with CENDA (Centro de Comunicación y Desarrollo Andino) in Bolivia. A lot was learned about the challenges of undertaking research to provide usable results at community level. The biggest impact has been the use of the results of the study to raise awareness of water quality and availability issues in the Pazña and Poopó sub-basins at government and community levels. The outcome is that the research has enabled CENDA to work with the Bolivian Vice Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation to set up the Water Quality Monitoring System for the Poopó and Pazña Rivers, with the participation of the Regional Government of Oruro, the municipal governments of Poopó and Pazña, community water monitoring groups and local actors. A key achievement is the involvement of communities, as this gives legitimacy to the work of communities and civil society organisations in Bolivia. For more information, please contact Stephen Edwards at firstname.lastname@example.com . Amy L Chadderton 2015-11-20T12:07:04Z Call for UCL Applications for AXA Research Fund post-doctoral Fellowships https://www.ucl.ac.uk/rdr/irdr/general-news/axa-fellowship The 2015 AXA Research Fund (ARF) Post-doctoral Research Fellowship Scheme will open in late November. This year UCL will be allowed to put forward up to 4 candidates to apply for this scheme (exact number TBC in mid-November). In anticipation of receiving a quota and of there being more interested candidates than allocated places, we are now inviting proposals from candidates wishing to be put forward by UCL. Research proposals should focus on a better understanding of risk (where the word risk is connected to phenomena that are perceived - or yet to be perceived - as hazards or threats and which must be identified and measured for frequency and impact.) Rosanna Smith 2015-10-19T09:20:25Z IRDR 5th Annual Conference Report https://www.ucl.ac.uk/rdr/irdr/general-news/annual-con-report The UCL IRDR Fifth Annual Conference marked five years since the launch of the Institute, and another year of sustained growth where we have continued to move from strength to strength. Highlights of the last year can be seen in our Annual Report. Amy L Chadderton 2015-07-29T10:36:09Z UCL-IRDR Third Academic Summit Report https://www.ucl.ac.uk/rdr/irdr/general-news/academic-summit-report UCL-IRDR held its Third Academic Summit on Wednesday 24th June 2015. The theme was "Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience - Strengthening the Links between Academics and Practitioners". Four panels of distinguished experts wwre convened to discuss the following topics: (a) making academic research more useful to practitioners; (b) improving communication between academics and practitioners; (c) training, teaching and exercising challenges, and (d) bridging the gaps with integrated research. Six main conclusions were reached during the discussion. (1) The work of practitioners, together with applied academic work on their behalf, is the crucible of ideas for academic research and the teaching that it informs. (2) Open minded, exploratory relationships between academics and practitioners can help facilitate needs assessments and projects that are mutually beneficial. (3) Practitioners tend to learn incrementally through an "apprenticeship" based on accumulated experience. This can be augmented by academic knowledge, which can help dispel misconceptions and introduce broad issues. (4) There is no simple barrier to overcome between academics and practitioners, as there are many kinds of the latter and many agendas. Relationships needs to be two-way. (5) Practitioners want academics to provide interdisciplinary research and training. Academics need to resist the pressures against this sort of work and ensure that promises of interdisciplinary contributions can be fulfilled. (6) Academics need to seek, and practitioners need to supply, feedback about what is beneficial, so that the right teaching, research and service will be conducted.

Amy L Chadderton 2015-05-19T11:42:26Z New UCL research reveals key controls on groundwater arsenic pollution in Bangladesh https://www.ucl.ac.uk/rdr/irdr/general-news/groundwater-arsenic-pollution-bangladesh Rosanna Smith 2015-02-17T22:46:18Z IRDR Special Report on Arctic Risks https://www.ucl.ac.uk/rdr/irdr/publications/irdr-special-report-2014-02 In September 2014, the IRDR hosted a meeting on Arctic Risk Scenarios. We see the Arctic as an area of increasing risk, due to rapid changes in its geography and economy. Technological risks and disasters – think for example of Deepwater Horizon or Costa Concordia – are often complex, with multiple interlinked causes. To understand such risks, and their potential consequences, requires a breadth of expertise: technological, but also commercial, legal, sociological and governmental. Our meeting was an opportunity to bring these fields together to consider two (hypothetical) case studies: a cruise ship sinking off Svalbard, and a wellhead blowout in the Kara Sea.

Amy L Chadderton 2014-09-12T13:22:26Z IRDR Special Report on Transitional Recovery and Reconstruction in the Eastern Philippines after Typhoon Yolanda https://www.ucl.ac.uk/rdr/irdr/publications/special-report-2014-01 In March 2014, four months after Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan), a collaborative field survey between UCL-IRDR and Tohoku University-IRIDeS was conducted in order to compare the effects of domestic and imported aid and assistance on the quality and speed of recovery and the vulnerability during the transitional phase between the initial emergency and long-term recovery and reconstruction. The team, comprised of Dr. Joanna Faure Walker and Prof. David Alexander from UCL-IRDR, Mr Joshua Macabuag from UCL-EPICentre and Dr. Anawat Suppasri from IRIDeS at Tohoku University, conducted interviews and accompanying structural engineering surveys of the respondents' dwellings for 160 households in 12 coastal barangays (districts) in Leyte, Eastern Visayas. Initial findings from the survey show: Rosanna Smith 2014-05-23T10:07:20Z Focus on the Positive https://www.ucl.ac.uk/rdr/irdr/general-news/focus-positive Dr. Mohammad Shamsudduha ("Shams"), a Research Fellow in the Institute for Risk & Disaster Reduction, has recently won a runner-up prize (£1,000) in UCL's public engagement event Focus on the Positive for successfully pitching a research idea of installing hand-operated tubewells for vulnerable rural communities in coastal Bangladesh. The title of his pitch was "Finding Sources of "Fresh" Drinking Water for Communities in Coastal Bangladesh." Shams was one of 4 competitors who pitched their ideas to an audience of 60 very engaged people from the University of the Third Age (U3A). The prize money will be used to install two hand-operated deep (depth >250m) tubewells in the coastal region of Bangladesh where there is a severe scarcity of 'fresh' drinking water as most surface water and groundwater sources are contaminated with high salinity. Shams is currently working on a UK-AID (former DFID)-funded research project (Groundwater resources in the Indo-Gangetic Basin: resilience to climate change and pumping) in Bangladesh and West Bengal of India. Under this project, Shams and his colleagues from UCL, Bangladesh and India are investigating the security of deep groundwater in the Bengal Basin in the face of climate change and human development.

A panel of experts and an experienced chair-person all with very wide ranging experiences and backgrounds made this a very lively and informative discussion, with keen participation from the audience. The panel of experts included Paula Albrito, Head of the European Office of the UNISDR, David Alexander, UCL Professor of Risk and Disaster Reduction, and Linda O'Halloran, Director of NGO Thinking Development. It was Chaired by Ellie Lee, Reader in Social Policy. Further details of the Chair and panelists and a video of the full panel discussion can be found below.
