Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to contribute to research on information sharing by drawing on the reader-response theory developed by Louise Rosenblatt. To this end, information sharing is approached by examining how bloggers communicate their reading experiences of fiction and non-fiction books. Design/methodology/approach The conceptual framework is based on the differentiation between efferent and aesthetic reading stances specified by Rosenblatt. The efferent stance directs attention to what is to be extracted from reading for instrumental purposes such as task performance. The aesthetic stance focuses on what is being lived through during the reading event. Rosenblatt’s framework was elaborated by specifying eight categories of efferent reading and six categories of aesthetic reading. The ways in which bloggers communicate their responses to such readings were examined by scrutinising a sample of 300 posts from two book blogs. Findings The bloggers mainly articulated responses to efferent reading by sharing information about the content of the reviewed books, as well as their strengths and weaknesses. Responses to aesthetic reading were mainly articulated by describing how the bloggers experienced the narrative, what kind immersive experiences they had and what kind of emotions were felt during the reading process. Research limitations/implications As the study is explorative in nature and focusses on a sample of blog posts, the findings cannot be generalised to depict how people share their responses to efferent and aesthetic reading in social media forums. Originality/value The paper pioneers by examining the potential of Rosenblatt’s theory in the study of sharing information about reading experiences in book blogs. The findings demonstrate that the categories of efferent and aesthetic reading can be elaborated further for the needs of information behaviour research.

Abstract:
Abstract The face plays an important role in our social interactions as it conveys rich sources of information. We can read a lot from one face image, but there is also information we cannot perceive without special devices. The thesis concerns using computer vision methodologies to analyse two kinds of subtle facial information that can hardly be perceived by naked eyes: the micro-expression (ME), and the heart rate (HR). MEs are rapid, involuntary facial expressions which reveal emotions people do not intend to show. It is difficult for people to perceive MEs as they are too fast and subtle, thus automatic ME analysis is valuable work which may lead to important applications. In the thesis, the progresses of ME studies are reviewed, and four parts of work are described. 1) We introduce the first spontaneous ME database, the SMIC. The lacking of data is hindering ME analysis research, as it is difficult to collect spontaneous MEs. The protocol for inducing and annotating SMIC is introduced to help future ME collections. 2) A framework including three features and a video magnification process is introduced for ME recognition, which outperforms other state-of-the-art methods on two ME databases. 3) An ME spotting method based on feature difference analysis is described, which can spot MEs from spontaneous long videos. 4) An automatic ME analysis system (MESR) was proposed for firstly spotting and then recognising MEs. The HR is an important indicator of our health and emotional status. Traditional HR measurements require skin-contact which cannot be applied remotely. We propose a method which can counter for illumination changes and head motions and measure HR remotely from color facial videos. We also apply the method for solving the face anti-spoofing problem. We show that the pulse-based feature is more robust than traditional texture-based features against unseen mask spoofs. We also show that the proposed pulse-based feature can be combined with other features to build a cascade system for detecting multiple types of attacks. At last, we summarize the contributions of the work, and propose future plans about ME and HR studies based on limitations of the current work. It is also planned to combine the ME and HR (maybe also other subtle signals from face) to build a multimodal system for affective status analysis
Tiivistelmä Kasvot ovat monipuolinen informaatiolähde ja keskeinen ihmisten välisessä vuorovaikutuksessa. Pystymme päättelemään paljon yhdestäkin kasvokuvasta, mutta kasvoissa on paljon tietoa, jota ei pysty irrottamaan ilman erityiskeinoja. Tässä työssä analysoidaan konenäöllä ihmiselle vaikeasti havaittavaa tietoa: mikroilmeitä ja sydämen sykettä. Tahdosta riippumattomat mikroilmeet paljastavat tunteita, joita ihmiset pyrkivät piilottamaan. Mikroilmeiden havaitseminen on vaikeaa niiden nopeuden ja pienuuden vuoksi, joten automaattinen analyysi voi johtaa uusiin merkittäviin sovelluksiin. Tämä työ tarkastelee mikroilmetutkimuksen edistysaskeleita ja sisältää neljä uutta tulosta. 1) Spontaanien mikroilmeiden tietokanta (Spontaneous MIcroexpression Corpus, SMIC). Spontaanien mikroilmeiden aiheuttaminen datan saamiseksi on oma haasteensa. SMIC:n keräämisessä ja mikroilmeiden annotoinnissa käytetty menettely on kuvattu myöhemmän datan keruun ohjeistukseksi. 2) Aiempia mikroilmeiden tunnistusmenetelmiä paremmaksi kahden testitietokannan avulla todennettu ratkaisu, joka käyttää kolmea eri piirrettä ja videon suurennusta. 3) Piirre-eroanalyysiin perustuva mikroilmeiden havaitsemismenetelmä, joka havaitsee ne pitkistä realistisista videoista. 4) Automaattinen analyysijärjestelmä (Micro-Expression Spotting and Recognition, MESR), jossa mikroilmeet havaitaan ja tunnistetaan. Sydämen syke on tärkeä terveyden ja tunteiden indikoija. Perinteiset sykkeenmittausmenetelmät vaativat ihokontaktia, eivätkä siten toimii etäältä. Tässä työssä esitetään sykkeen videolta pienistä värimuutoksista mittaava menetelmä, joka sietää valaistusmuutoksia ja sallii pään liikkeet. Menetelmä on monikäyttöinen ja sen sovelluksena kuvataan todellisten kasvojen varmentaminen sykemittauksella. Tulokset osoittavat sykepiirteiden toimivan perinteisiä tekstuuripiirteitä paremmin uudenlaisia naamarihuijauksia vastaan. Syketietoa voidaan myös käyttää osana sarjatyyppisissä ratkaisuissa havaitsemaan useanlaisia huijausyrityksiä. Työn yhteenveto keskittyy suunnitelmiin parantaa mikroilmeiden ja sydämen sykkeen analyysimenetelmiä nykyisen tutkimuksen rajoitteiden pohjalta. Tavoitteena on yhdistää mikroilmeiden ja sydämen sykkeen analyysit, sekä mahdollisesti muuta kasvoista saatavaa tietoa, multimodaaliseksi affektiivisen tilan määrittäväksi ratkaisuksi

Abstract:
This thesis investigates three contemporary Canadian texts— Ruth Ozeki’s A Tale for the Time Being, Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake, and Rita Wong’s forage—that treat information as an object that can be wasted and recuperated. Using information theory and a new sub-field of critical waste theory called “Discard Studies,” I explore how the authors studied in this thesis place these two lines of thought alongside one another to examine how the concept of recycling information challenges the material, cultural, and ideological structures that distance humans from their waste. Specifically, I read the event of recycling as an interruptive act that triggers a reassessment of the (im)material connections that tether humans to their waste, vast (inter)national networks of exchange, and environmental crises related to our garbage.

Rait, Satwant K. "Reading and information needs of elderly Punjabis." Thesis, Loughborough University, 1993. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/12438.

Full text
Abstract:
A survey investigating the reading and information needs of elderly Punjabis was conducted in Bradford and Derbyshire. A questionnaire was prepared which was used as a structured interview. 120 interviews were recorded, 60 from each authority. This number included Hindus, Moslems and Sikhs and the generic term 'Punjabi' was used for these three distinct religious groups. Women were also included in this survey to see if they have any different requirements from men. Reading and information material included print and nonprint material. This research presents the actual needs of elderly Punjabis as they perceive them. A special collection could easily be prepared on the basis of the material quoted by them in their interviews which would be helpful for any library authority with few adaptations according to their local needs. Social, economic and cultural factors influencing their reading behaviour and pattern are also discussed.

Shen, Di 1957. "The role of phonological information in reading Chinese." Diss., The University of Arizona, 1997. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/288766.

Full text
Abstract:
This research examines the role of phonological information in recognizing Chinese characters. A converging methods approach was taken, employing diverse experimental paradigms to address both theoretical and empirical questions. The experiments provided strong and positive evidence for the role played by orthographic codes as well as the absence of prelexical phonological effects in reading Chinese. In two masked priming experiments, orthographic masked priming was observed consistently across the lexical decision and the naming tasks despite of the fact the primes were phonologically unrelated to the target characters. In contrast, phonological priming was found only in a task that explicitly required a vocal response. No additional priming effects were obtained for masked primes that were simultaneously visually similar and phonologically identical to the targets. A clear case was presented in the semantic categorization experiments that it is the postlexical phonology that was the primary source of the observed homophone interference effects. Although rule-based phonological conversion is implausible in Chinese characters, robust homophone interference was revealed when the subjects tried to categorize homophone characters and, more importantly, there was virtually no difference in the pattern of homophone effects between transparent and opaque characters. The data also suggest that word phonology is perhaps automatically activated during visual word recognition, and probably very early in the process. However, the recovery of lexical information does not depend on the activation of phonological information. Phonological effects revealed in naming studies were perhaps a consequence of explicit requirement for articulation, or because transparent characters were associated with more familiar pronunciations, or because of independent and automatic activation of phonetic radicals in compound characters. It is concluded that phonological information does not seem to play an important role in access to word meaning in reading Chinese.

Haecker, Christine Berta Maria. "The processing of stereotype-relevant information during reading." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2010. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/564/.

Full text
Abstract:
I examined the processing of stereotype-relevant information during reading, in particular the degree to which stereotype-mismatch detection and resolution are resource-dependent. In addition I investigated the effects of stereotype-relevant episodic representations on subsequent linguistic and non-linguistic processing. Experiment 1 showed that reading participants looked longer at pronouns that mismatched the stereotypical gender of the agent than at stereotype-matching pronouns (e.g., “...the secretary familiarised herself/ himself...”). Experiment 1 also showed that mismatch detection can take place even when readers are cognitively busy, but that later integration processes might be compromised, resulting in an increased memory bias. Experiments 2 and 3 showed that the episodic representations resulting from reading stereotype-relevant sentences are strong and stable enough to cancel out a mismatch effect in a second sentence, unless the stereotypical representation is reemphasised by a repetition of the occupation label. Experiments 4 to 7 showed that gender-categorisation was facilitated for target faces that matched rather than mismatched a priming stereotypical occupation label (e.g., secretary); such an effect was not found for more complex prime stereotype- relevant sentences. It can be concluded that episodic stereotype-relevant representations can affect further processing of linguistic and non-linguistic information. This influence, however, is limited by existing stereotype representations.

Full text
Abstract:
New literacies in reading research demand for the study of comprehension skills using multiple modalities, through a more complex, multi-platform view of reading. Taking into account the robust roll of technology in our daily lives, research suggests that educators need activities to connect students' lack of reading skills with their growing multimodal literacy. During the post-reading phase of a directed reading activity (DRA), students were engaged in digital storytelling, where they created digital videos and slideshows based on information text read during DRA. Previous studies highlighting the use of digital storytelling have been limited to narrative formats and the influence that participation in this activity has on self-esteem and identity. This activity has been widely recommended for improving writing among teachers and in teaching journals, but it has not been empirically studied in the classroom as a comprehension activity. The theoretical framework that supported this study was Vygotsky's Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT). The researcher used the CHAT framework and Burke's Pentad of Analysis (1969) to study the nature of student interactions. Research questions for this study were answered through both quantitative and qualitative methods. The questions being asked by the researcher were: 1.What were the effects of participation in directed reading activity (DRA) modified to include digital storytelling in the post-reading phase of DRA on 6th graders' comprehension of information text? 2. Did the interactions observed during participation in directed reading activity modified to include digital storytelling reflect the principles promoted by Cultural-Historical Activity Theory? Eighty sixth-grade students were randomly assigned to their digital storytelling groups. The subjects participated in whole-class DRA on two information texts, with the treatment group creating digital stories based on the texts. Cloze scores indicated that there was no significant difference in comprehension due to the treatment. However, there was ample evidence to support the claim that participation in digital storytelling instantiates the principles of CHAT. Overall, digital storytelling does show promise as a multimodal instructional activity, and the discussion expands to several implications and recommendations of future research on this instructional activity.

Full text
Abstract:
Six experiments were conducted to address the role of phonological information in visual word recognition. A semantic decision task was used to ensure that word meanings were accessed. Experiments 1-4 showed that subjects make more false positive errors on homophone foils (e.g. living thing-FLEE) than on spelling controls (e.g. living thing-FLEX) only when both members of the homophone pair are uncommon and are similarly spelled. In Experiment 5, there was an increase in errors on low but not high frequency homophone category exemplars when they were preceded by a word related to the other member of the homophone pair (e.g. SHATTER-BRAKE). In Experiment 6, subjects produced longer decision latencies on homophone exemplars than on semantic controls only when they were low in frequency. These results indicate that, even in skilled readers, phonological information mediates the access of meaning for low frequency words, and that orthographic activation also contributes to the activation of their meanings.

Abstract:
Opinnäytetyöni tutkimusaihe käsittelee lukumotivaatiota. Aihe löytyi syksyllä 2013 Lukuinto-projektin kautta, jossa yhtenä aliprojektina oli jääkiekkoa pelaavien poikien lukemista tutkiva projekti Kiekkoja ja Kirjoja. Syntyi ajatus lukumotivaation parantamisesta pelaamalla. Aihetta ei ole juurikaan tutkittu aiemmin ja lukumotivaatiota parantamaan pyrkivän pelin luominen tutkimusobjektiksi tuntui kiehtovalta. Aihe on tärkeä ja ajankohtainen, sillä esimerkiksi PISA-tutkimuksissa lukumotivaation ja lukemistaitojen on osoitettu vähentyneen viime vuosien aikana. Aihe on ollut esillä myös mediassa. Tutkimuskysymys opinnäytetyössä on: "minkälaisia ominaisuuksia lukumotivaatiota kasvattavassa pelissä tulisi olla?". Tutkimusmetodiksi valittiin konstruktiivinen tutkimus (DSR) ja itse pelin kehitykseen saatiin avuksi Tietojenkäsittelytieteiden laitoksen Projekti II-kurssi. Pelin evaluointi tapahtuisi suoraan kohderyhmän kanssa semistrukturoiduin haastatteluin ja kyselykaavakkein. Kohderyhmään valittiin Karjasillan yläasteelta 4 oppilasta ja Pateniemen yläasteelta 4 oppilasta, joista seitsemän olivat jääkiekon pelaajia ja yksi harrastaa aktiivisesti jalkapalloa. Taustakirjallisuutta opinnäytetyöhön ei juurikaan löytynyt, ainoastaan yksi kappale suoraan aiheeseen liittyviä tutkimuksia. Niinpä sen tueksi otettiin tutkimusalueet behavior change support systems, persuasive technology ja serious games, joiden pohjalta laadittiin ohjenuorat pelin kehitykseen. Ohjenuorat jakautuvat kahteen osaan: prosessiohjenuora, joka auttaa lukumotivaatiota kasvattavan pelin kehitystä prosessitasolla, ja PGD-ohjenuorat (Persuasive Game Development), jotka liittyvät suoraan pelin tarjoamiin ominaisuuksiin ja toimintoihin. Pelin genreksi valikoitui tabletilla pelattava tekstirikas seikkailupeli, Hockey Zombies — Escape from the Arena, jossa päähenkilön tavoitteena on päästä pakoon zombie-invaasion uhriksi joutuneelta jääkiekkostadionilta. Seikkailupeli sisältää paljon lukemista, lukemaan innostamaan pyrkiviä asioita ja ominaisuuksia sekä ongelmanratkaisutilanteita, jotka edellyttävät pelin tekstien huolellista lukemista. PGD-ohjenuorat saatiin implementoitua peliin ja pelin kehityksessä taustateorioiksi valitut self-efficacy theory ja social cognitive theory saatiin integroitua pelin ominaisuuksiin. Peli evaluoitiin kahdessa eri istunnossa Karjasillan ja Pateniemen koululla, joihin molempiin osallistui neljä jääkiekkoilevaa poikaa. Peli testattiin yksi kerrallaan pelaamalla peli alusta loppuun, jonka jälkeen testaaja siirrettiin adjektiivikorttitestiin, jossa tavoitteena oli valita 36 adjektiivista viisi parhaiten peliä kuvaavaa sanaa. Tämän jälkeen testaaja siirrettiin haastattelutilaan, jossa puolistrukturoidun haastattelun lisäksi peliä evaluoitiin tekemällä affect grid -testi, jossa kahdelle akselille arvioitiin pelin pelillistä arvoa ja pelin sisältämää lukemista. Tutkimustulokset olivat pienen osallistujamäärän takia ainoastaan suuntaa-antavat, mutta peli herätti kaikissa osallistujissa innostusta sekä peliä että sen sisältämää lukemista kohtaan. Pieni enemmistö tutkimukseen osallistuneista sanoi pelin vaikuttaneen lukumotivaatioon positiivisesti, mutta osa ei uskonut pelin voivan vaikuttaa lukemiseen. Tästä huolimatta kaikki peliä testanneet pitivät lukemisesta pelissä ja lähes kaikki testanneista ilmaisivat halunsa pelata samantyyppistä peliä uudelleen. Lukumotivaatiota ei näin lyhyessä tutkimuksessa ollut mahdollista mitata, mutta osaltaan innostus peliä kohtaan ja positiivinen suhtautuminen sen sisältämään lukemiseen voi kertoa jotain lukumotivaatiostakin. Tutkimustuloksena pelin evaluointi, PGD-ohjenuorat ja itse peli ominaisuuksineen voi olla hyvä suunnannäyttäjä siihen, että pelaamalla voi vaikuttaa lukumotivaatioon ja aihetta kannattaisi tutkia enemmän.

Full text
Abstract:
Designed as household-based assessments, citizen-led assessments (CLAs) are implemented by local organizations who assess children in their homes, thus reaching the most marginalized children, families, and communities, often in remote areas. CLAs add an essential piece of information for truly monitoring progress and help realistically represent the learning levels of all children – at national, regional, and global levels. By using simple tools and easy-to-understand reports, CLAs engage parents and community members in discussions about learning and help foster understanding of the importance of ensuring quality education through civil action. In this publication, members from organizations conducting CLAs in India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh provide an overview of the CLA model and illustrate a range of ways in which the model has been implemented in the four South Asian countries to monitor and improve learning. In all four countries, the initiative is known as the Annual Status of Education Report, or ASER – a word that means ‘impact’ in three of these four countries. By design, ASER assesses foundational reading and numeracy skills.

Price, Roz. Taxation and Public Financial Management of Mining Revenue in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), October 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.144.

Full text
Abstract:
This rapid review provides a summary of the evidence on the taxation and public financial management of mining revenues in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This is a very complex topic, with a large and growing literature base, a huge interest by donors, non-governmental organisations and businesses, with some conflicting information at times. In particular, specific data on provincial budgets and spending was not identified during this review. No specific information on public financial management in either of these provinces was identified during the course of this review. Given the burgeoning size of the literature base and the complexity of the mining sector in the DRC, this rapid review only provides a snapshot of the literature. It draws on academic, grey and donor literature sources. Some papers for further reading are highlighted. The report first provides a brief background discussion of general taxation in the DRC, the decentralisation process, and provincial public revenue management. The next section provides general information on the mining sector in the DRC, including the regulatory system and official duties, royalties and tax provisions. Section 4 goes into more detail about taxation and rent-seeking in the mining sector, touching on both large-scale mining (LSM) and artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM). The next section looks at smuggling of minerals in the DRC, with a focus on gold. Finally, some specific lessons learned were drawn from two World Bank projects and highlighted in the final section. Lessons and experiences from other mining-related projects are also highlighted throughout the report. Literature in French was not included in this rapid review, which may mean that some key documents were omitted.

Johra, Hicham. Long-Term Stability and Calibration of the Reference Thermometer ASL F200. Department of the Built Environment, Aalborg University, December 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.54337/aau328894425.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this technical report is to provide detailed information about the long-term stability of the thermometer ASL F200 (WIKA Instruments Limited [1]) that is used as temperature reference to calibrate other temperature sensors in the Laboratory of Building Energy and Indoor Environment at Aalborg University – Department of the Built Environment [2]. This ASL F200 thermometer is regularly sent for recalibration at the “Temperature Laboratory” of the Danish Technological Institute, which is a National Reference Laboratory [3]. In this report, the stability of the thermometer is assessed as the difference in the temperature reading of the instrument at a specific temperature over time. The latter is calculated as the yearly deviation (or stability) in between consecutive recalibrations, which is equivalent to the difference in the calibration correction term in between two consecutive recalibrations divided by the elapsed time in between these two consecutive recalibrations. The long-term stability of the ASL F200 thermometer is only assessed here for the first channel “Chan 1” of the instrument. All calculations of this technical report are based on calibrations reports from the National Reference Laboratory of the Danish Technological Institute [3]. The main results of those calibration reports can be found in the Appendix at the end of this document.

Abstract:
Comprehensive park management to fulfill the NPS mission requires an accurate inventory of the geologic features of a park unit, but Comprehensive park management to fulfill the NPS mission requires an accurate inventory of the geologic features of a park unit, but park managers may not have the needed information, geologic expertise, or means to complete such an undertaking; therefore, the Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) provides information and resources to help park managers make decisions for visitor safety, planning and protection of infrastructure, and preservation of natural and cultural resources. Information in the GRI report may also be useful for interpretation. park managers may not have the needed information, geologic expertise, or means to complete such an undertaking; therefore, the Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) provides information and resources to help park managers make decisions for visitor safety, planning and protection of infrastructure, and preservation of natural and cultural resources. Information in the GRI report may also be useful for interpretation. This report synthesizes discussions from a scoping meeting for Redwood National and State Parks (referred to as the “parks” throughout this report) held in 2004 and a follow-up conference call in 2019. Two GRI–compiled GIS data sets of the geology and geohazards of the parks are the principal deliverables of the GRI. The GRI GIS data are available on the GRI publications website http://go.nps.gov/gripubs and through the NPS Integrated Resource Management Applications (IRMA) portal https://irma.nps.gov/App/Portal/Home. Enter “GRI” as the search text and select a park from the unit list. Writing of this report was based on those data and the interpretations of the source map authors (see “GRI Products” and “Acknowledgements”). A geologic map poster illustrates the geology GRI GIS data set and serves as a primary figure for this GRI report. No poster was prepared for the geohazards GRI GIS data set. Additionally, figure 7 of this report illustrates the locations of the major geologic features in the parks. Unlike the poster, which is divided into a northern and southern portion to show detail while accommodating the parks’ length, figure 7 is a single-page, simplified map. The features labeled on figure 7 are discussed in the “Geologic History, Features, and Processes” chapter. To provide a context of geologic time, this report includes a geologic time scale (see "Geologic History, Features, and Processes"). The parks’ geologic story encompasses 200 million years, starting in the Jurassic Period. Following geologic practice, the time scale is set up like a stratigraphic column, with the oldest units at the bottom and the youngest units at the top. Organized in this manner, the geologic time scale table shows the relative ages of the rock units that underlie the parks and the unconsolidated deposits that lie at the surface. Reading the “Geologic Event” column in the table, from bottom to top, will provide a chronologic order of the parks’ geologic history. The time scale includes only the map units within the parks that also appear on the geologic map poster; that is, map units of the geohazards data are not included. Geology is a complex science with many specialized terms. This report provides definitions of geologic terms at first mention, typically in parentheses following the term. Geologic units in the GRI GIS data are referenced in this report using map unit symbols; for example, map unit KJfrc stands for the Cretaceous (K) and Jurassic (J) Franciscan Complex (f), Redwood Creek schist (rc), which underlies a portion of the Redwood Creek watershed (see “GRI Products”).

Abstract:
As Ontario expands access to the COVID-19 vaccine beyond the Phase 1 priority populations, strategic planning and execution of mass vaccine rollout will have a significant impact on the health and safety of Ontario’s 14.5 million residents. There are six key elements of Israel’s successful COVID-19 vaccine campaign that can be readily applied to Ontario to expedite and expand the province’s vaccine rollout strategy: a simple vaccine prioritization process; modification to the transport, storage, and distribution of the vaccines; effective communication to promote vaccine confidence; decentralization of vaccination sites; centralized organization through Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) using a fully integrated information technology (IT) system in a universal health care system; and the engagement of community-based personnel, infrastructure, and resources.

Empowering the Indiana Bridge Inventory Database Toward Rapid Seismic Vulnerability Assessment. Purdue University, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5703/1288284317282.

Full text
Abstract:
With the recent identification of the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone in addition to the New Madrid Seismic Zone, Indiana’s Department of Transportation (INDOT) has become concerned with ensuring the adequate seismic performance of their bridge network. While INDOT made an effort to reduce the seismic vulnerability of newly-constructed bridges, many less recent bridges still have the potential for vulnerability. Analyzing these bridges’ seismic vulnerability is a vital task. However, developing a detailed dynamic model for every bridge in the state using information from structural drawings is rather tedious and time-consuming. In this study, we develop a simplified dynamic assessment procedure using readily-available information from INDOT’s Bridge Asset Management Program (BIAS), to rapidly identify vulnerable bridges throughout the state. Eight additional data items are recommended to be added into BIAS to support the procedure. The procedure is applied in the Excel file to create a tool, which is able to automatically implement the simplified bridge seismic analysis procedure. The simplified dynamic assessment procedure and the Excel tool enable INDOT to perform seismic vulnerability assessment and identify bridges more frequently. INDOT can prioritize these bridges for seismic retrofits and efficiently ensure the adequate seismic performance of their assets.

A definition and categorization system for advanced materials : the foundation for risk-informed environmental health and safety testing. Engineer Research and Development Center (U.S.), September 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.21079/11681/41803.

Abstract:
Novel materials with unique or enhanced properties relative to conventional materials are being developed at an increasing rate. These materials are often referred to as advanced materials (AdMs) and they enable technological innovations that can benefit society. Despite their benefits, however, the unique characteristics of many AdMs, including many nanomaterials, are poorly understood and may pose environmental safety and occupational health (ESOH) risks that are not readily determined by traditional risk assessment methods. To assess these risks while keeping up with the pace of development, technology developers and risk assessors frequently employ risk-screening methods that depend on a clear definition for the materials that are to be assessed (e.g., engineered nanomaterial) as well as a method for binning materials into categories for ESOH risk prioritization. In this study, we aim to establish a practitioner-driven definition for AdMs and a practitioner-validated framework for categorizing AdMs into conceptual groupings based on material characteristics. The definition and categorization framework established here serve as a first step in determining if and when there is a need for specific ESOH and regulatory screening for an AdM as well as the type and extent of risk-related information that should be collected or generated for AdMs and AdM-enabled technologies.
